jeeze I need to go back to bed and be in the PB at the same time for that clue.
hi FM -- what would you like in the PB?
Mug of tea and a good sleep please jilli - have woken up at 4am these last 3 days :((
definitely back to bed time, FM!
but thx for the clue!
lol glad to help. Dawn was beautiful this morning but I would have gladly slept through it. Back later when I hope to have a sensible head on :)
have changed icon for today's theme
I've changed mine too but don't know if it shows -- maybe after the flip it will.
lol it shows when I click on it
have it jilli, but good for a giggle
The giggle was the idea, flosey ;-)
LOL nice icon, Jilli
and tyvm for yours, which I didn't have
ty diz :-)
oh good, yvw
thx for another word Flos (just clicked your icon)

without lickety, i'd miss a lot of the fillers
or extensions
when the hiccup arrives, I'm going for my banana and milk sleeping "pill".
ah, much better than meds jilli
more calories, though :-(
ah, not too many, are there?
every little counts
oh yes, as I know too well - just can't get this tummy down!
and I know what I should do - guess I just need to be told!
ttfn!
and he brings out his measuring tape - once a year
afternoon all :)
hi there mrp, how are you?
happy Good Friday to those that celebrate it. :))
ah yes, it is indeed
hi flosey! getting better every day! Am leaving for the beach house tomorrow for 5 days
oh, that will be lovely
and doing it in first class on the speed train... own cabin, waiter, food and drink delivered to the cabin!! can't wait!
that sounds devine
usually I would drive, but no way no how this time. and kids are coming with me so it will be wonderful!! roll out of bed and onto the beach! Perfect
Hi mrp -- that sounds wonderful!
i will find a link to the photos of Burgess Beach, that is where we are going
hi jilli!! (hugs)
Isn't it autumn in Oz, though, mrp?
yes, and it is about 26 C everyday and ocean is still 24 C
(Is my clue icon showing here now? It isn't for me on the desktop. Curses, foiled again.)
that would be 80+ F. ?\
no, jilli, still see the thingamajig
Oh, I think I'll move to Oz -- how divine. Our spring seems to have been seriously delayed -- temps around 10C max still.
thats about right jilli
And I still see your granny squares here, flosey.
oh really, I see the new icon, that's strange
good morning everybody
ugh i hate en words
This desktop is strange. I'm going to check the laptop...brb
hi there ruby
hi ruby...
wow thje en words just came flying at me.. done with them
I wish you could all share our weather. It is in the high 40's at night but in the high 70's afternoons. It will change next weekend, however, as they are prediciting a week of (much-needed) rain!
well, here I am on the laptop and everything shows as it should.
n
that's good jilli, how old is your desktop?
We're apparentl;y going to get 2 days of sun and temps about 15C before the grey wet cold days come back for a week or so -- the pattern we've had for over a month.
flosey, the desktop is brand new, remember?
I think I'll try a restart...back asap
oh yes, that is really odd, just checked, I've had this one 5 years!
changed mail servers, on shaw tech advice - starting fresh - no incoming, no outgoing, no other little files
same address
Nope, still the old icons on the desktop, sigh.
don't quite know what you mean re mail, flosey
I think I need to reinstall Expert on the desktop. I just went to the plain playbabble site and the icons are as they should be.
So maybe I'll do that tomorrow.
well, we had so many emails saved, it couldn't add more so I asked hubby to delete some (from 1906 and on!! he deleted everything, we had 3200+/-
Now I'd like to try and get halfway here -- need 10 more words.
100 left.
300 grid on a day off...bliss
I only nbeed 120 for half, lol
hello rolin and cos
I'm at 208, 92 to go
Oh, I see what you mean about the mail now -- I have an awful lot too, must do some deleting some day
mail from 1906? didnt know they had email then?
hi ruby
hahah cos
rather than delete my 100's of saved mails, I organized them into files and cleared out about half that way
and they become chronological, so that I have records of correspondence with various friends
gmail is good for that, ruby
hbs going to be a bit annoyed because there were some he really needed to keep
well, he was the one who deleted them, wasn't he?
sometimes it is fun just to read particular chunks of letters
yup
92 left. i should save them for tomorrow... night all :)
me too cos
wd cos -- gnight!
good night , cos, sweet dreams
I'd like a t, for instep
do you have the other part of the shoe, also starting with in?
no ruby, looking
in6/18
ty ruby
yes thanks ruby
I said I wanted a T a while ago
it's so rare for me to be able to help!
I'm wishing for a t for jilli!
hooray hooray, over halfway!
phantom: unison
well done jilli
yay jilli
<-- bows deeply
it's getting back up, that's the hard part lol

ty for the o; is that a football term?
I think so, ruby

wtg ruby!
and I found the ed5, too, roman senator
I think it's time for bed here, starting to fade, goodnight all
good night flosey
gnight flosey -- sleep well
and thx for the senator, ruby -- also gave the ae6
I didn't know that word, ty
big grids are usually easier than this one imho.
but better than the small ones of the past two days which I found very hard
it's the alt sp for the ed5
do you have the middle Eastern stringed instruments?
I wouldnt have thught of that
the last one was horrible -- about a third were rubbish words
but latin is latin, I guess!
I don't think I have the instruments -- how do they start?
bottom-corner o
o4/6
oh yes -- monkeyed that one
it hurts!
in my wild youth I knew an ou* player

wtg ruby and byebye!
sorry, door bell and phone calls pulled me away
hi again mrp -- I'm about to go to bed
1:10 am here
here is the photo of the beach we are going to... the house is above the left side of the beach. http://www.panoramio.com/photo/ 1577351
oh jilli! you having a very late one tonight!!
that's ok, I only got to bed at 7am on Wednesday morning... had a hellish night, but managed to get 2 hours sleep
omg, mrp!
darn -- that photo link didn't work -- it said "Not Found"
ok, will go find another way to link it
This isn't an unusual bedtime for this night owl.
did that one work??
ah jilli, that is just normal for you to have your late routine... it is for me too... usually 1am
which one, mrp? I don't see another link
it is 6.15pm Friday here... so enjoying my fish and wine
What kind of fish?
here : http://static.panoramio.com/photos/ori ginal/40599889.jpg
well, I really wanted a nice piece of flathead, but they only had shark left
wow -- gorgeous place! I'll teleport right over with my new aqua bathing suit
btw, that link didn't work either until I noticed a space in the middle of "original"
oh we would have a blast jilli! it is just such a peaceful place and we could babble and scrabble and lex all day!!
I am playing a game of lexulous with Jac at the moment... we have a couple of games going
ah, the space.... yes babble chat sometimes adds a space
I have a bunch of Lex games going too but have been lax lately (very busy -- new computer woes and such)
wish I could help you darling...
when I get my ticket ... I am going to US and Canada... hopefully September now
hope I can pop in on you!! you are one of the most interesting people i have ever met!
I keep telling myself to go to Oz and look up cousins who don't really know me. The air travel and being alone puts me off though.
i understand that jilli, I would bring my daughter with me
I am getting my big payout for refereeing in September, so will use that to pay for my trip
You most certainly can pop in on me -- I have a nice guest room. Sometimes it's even warm enough to swim in the sea -- but our little beach is stony.
Twin beds in my guest room...
stones not a worry, we are used to white sand, but I did spend time in europe and the beaches on the Adriatic Sea were all stoney
you need water shoes.
how long can you be away?
ha! living in australia and running around with the bindies has made my feet like leather!
2 -3 weeks
we must arrange another west coast gathering with stid and bugsaw and flosey and pini and m9 and so on!
make it 3 weeks! There's ruru too...
what do you referee mrpresident. football here...not american football
well, if I actually have a ticket in my hand, I would love to organise that! I would probably fly into LA
LA is a long way from here :-(
I referee soccer Legend
thats what i thought...same here....im doing adult outdoor and indoor during the week...youth on weekends
hi there =)
sand soccer too
I would be going to Pennsylvania, New York and then up to Canada
hi there =)
hello maddii
hi Maddi!!
everyone this is my daughter Maddison... she is 13
hows everyone?
hello maddi
All those are a long way from here, mrp :-( Canada is BIG
Nice to meet you, maddii!
nice to meet u too
been to Canada, and I would go anywhere in Canada to see you jilli
My favourite place was Lake Louise in Alberta... stayed in Banff for 2 weeks in December a few years back.... loved it!
Actually, the most fun I had was Goat's Eye Mountain!!
I remember being 13. It was the year I went from a Brit boarding school to a NYC public high school (coed). Had to lose my English accent -- one you would call Pommy.
wow long way for school. do you still have part of your accent?
Well, I'm on Salt Spring Island, British Columbia.
I remember being 13 too.....Bryan Adams was number one in the pop charts for what seemed like an eternity with that Robin hood theme......
whats it like in canada? its spring time right?
Maybe a touch, Maddii. My mother and I were in England but it was the start of WW2 and the bombing began so her sisters and brothers in the USA said "Come over here" and we did, the ship zigzagging across the Atlantic to avoid the U-boats.
This part of Canada is much warmer than most of the country. Yes, it's spring but it's exceptionally cold and grey and wet this year.
i know that feeling. its getting cold here too
Movieman, what is a Bryan Adams? lol
Canadian Rock star, Maddii
mrp says it's about 26C -- here it's been only about 11!
(BTW) MrP has to reboot. Promblems with computer
don't diss the Adams.
Not dissing, just not knowing. Ha ha
sorry, guys, bit out of the rock genre
I'm the Sinatra generation -- the young Sinatra.
What's your music, maddii?
my mum has obviously not educated me to the greats of musical history. i hate the electro pop they put out. its just boring
love taylor swift. great music
I love anything with plenty of guitar in it!!!!!
60s, 70s, 80s, 90s......and now!!!!!
me too. 'Muse' is good as well. lots a rock
mum used put on 'Queen' and 'Blondie' when i was little
Two excellent bands, Maddii
Well said movieman
I was 13 when Freddy Mercury sadly died, in 1991
Do any of you know Arcade Fire?
Oh yes, jilli
It was so sad he died. They could have gone so far with their music. Oh, the poor reunion concert that never was!
Canada's pride these days -- Montreal's too
BOOTED my computer! it needed a good kicking! back now
hi again mrp :-D
My guilty pleasure music-wise....Five Star (1980's British family pop group)
My guilty pleasure, Roxy Music
My guilty pleasure: chocolate haha
What's so guilty about that, Mrp?
mine too, maddii ;-)
the darker the better
Well, I guess it is the 'feelings' it gives me and the pleasure lickety then gets out of it....
chocolates like fuel for me
mum would agree with you about the dark chcolate. i like it too. i cannot stand white chocolate
Subway sandwiches are like fuel for me
Especially when I go to the flicks
oh! Red Hot Chilli Peppers.... another pleasure... and when I am really peed off... I get in the car and drive down the freeway doing 110 with Eminem on full volume
I'm trying to lose weight :-(
Delicious! Addicted to the turkey ones from Subway
Oh yes....the Chilis!!!!!
By the Way (!) another great band
Sorry Jilli, I didn't mean to talk about chocolate while you are trying not to eat it. =(
Do you remember The The?
That's okay, maddii, everyone does it, lol!
Yep, 1980's new wave band
True that!
I REALLY love listening to Prince!!!!!]
Run DMC was also a fav... and Prince back in the 80's
And now I'm going to bed (nearly 2 am) -- lovely chat -- goodnight all...*poof (95 left)
OMG! we are having a mind meld movieman!
nite jilli! sleep well (hugs)
Night Jilli
lol mrp!!!
night jili
I spent hours watching the competition to find a new lead singer for INXS.
My first albums I listened too were INXS, Ultravox, John Paul Young, Peter Paul & Mary .... wow... great memories!!
Mine were Five Star, Michael Jackson, and Kylie
always Michael Jackson... just amazing stuff he did
I was actually in tears when the great man died
Luke and lickety are out watching 'Paul' at the moment... let's see what they think of that!!
Paul....a great film!!!!!
I know what you mean Movie... it was a shock!
Pegg and Frost are comedy geniuses
Watched 'Salt' at a mates place yesterday. AMAZING! Angelina Jole is an fantastic actress
One of the funniest films I watched was Hot Fuzz.... wet my pants laughing
Hot Fuzz, Shaun (equally pant-wetting....)
I didn't like that movie. Sorry but it was just too much for me
I thought 'Kick-Ass' was brilliant
I never saw that!
Whip It was hialrious
Scream 4 I thought was the best in the series since the 1st one
I want to see Limitless I am not good in horror films! I just can't watch them!! I sit with my hands over my ears and eyes tight shut
Which Fast & Furious is the best in your opinion Movie?
I watched 'I am Legend'. It was soo sad when the little dog died. And it was a girl dog too. Poor pup
We had a F&F day last weekend and we just couldn't watch the 3rd one... it was so bad!
Movies I've seen so far this year: Fast Five Scre4m Limitless Source Code Sucker Punch Unknown Battle: Los Angeles The Adjustment Bureau Paul True Grit Ghost (Re-Release) Black Swan The King's Speech The Green Hornet 127 Hours
The latest one, mrp
Ho was Black Swam? I wasn't allowed to watch it. =(
*How
Thor is next on my agenda
cool! I will take my son to see it! He really liked 1, 2 & 4
Thor! I wanna see that with the kids
Pretty good Maddii, I'm a big fan of Darren Aronofsky's films
It looked soo good!
I especially loved the Wrestler
is that with Rourke?
I really hope they make the HON series into a movie. They are so good.
HON= House Of Night. Its an amazing series. Hooked
Yes it is, mrp
I'll be seeing Thor on Monday.....in 3D (naturally)
Night everyone! Might be back on l8r
Good night Maddii, nice to meet you
Nice to meet you too. Hope to talk again
Maddi is a sweetie
she is so tired! getting away from Sydney will be good for her!
I need to go sort out our luggage for tomorrow... bbl! lovely chatting MM
Later, Mrp!!!!
Lovely chatting to you too

hi everyone
ANDREE!!!! (((hugs)))!!
Andree! Nice to see you!
I look at your photo with your beautiful dog everyday and think of you! (hugs)
MRP and Haz, nice to be back
lynxxx said you had moved but I hadn't seen you about for ages.
i don't think I have been on for about 6 months
thank you for your wonderful letter and the pic... I am an awful friend for not getting back to you... but I think about you all the time :)
I finally realised I could never afford Sydney and so started looking on the central coast and found the perfect place
My best wishes for your new home.
what you described is perfect! we might just have to join your community!! The kids really want to come and see you too, as do I... miss you so much
I travel to Sydney to the office and babysitting, social committments etc each week for a couple of days, trip takes 75 minutes
When we get new clothes here we say 'Health to wear, strength to tear and wealth to buy another' - not quite the same for houses, but you get my drift.
sounds like a great life andree!
I have bought canoes MRP the kids would love it
well, we don't need to be asked twice!! can we come up in a couple of weeks??
I am sorry I haven't been back in contact... life has been hectic and surreal. You are always welcome here too
I do Haz and thanks, things are going slowly with renovations will be another couple of months before its all finished
MRP come anytime
Enjoy it - no more hiding Hugo.
thanks andree! you are a sweetheart as always.
we are off for 5 days up the north coast, so when I get back, will let you know where I am timewise and get a date with you
the funniest part is even though my sister lives up here I was very reluctant to be so far away from the kids but one or other is up here all the time, being on the water is like a holiday
yep! you are the beach house babe!
Higo loves it here there is a reserve in front and we walk there daily, he goes straight into the water
lucky puppy!!
I have to go pack some stuff... I will call you when I am in Foster Andree. Would luv to catch up (hugs)
foster, nice have a great time
Hello everyone.
Hello, lynxxx.

Brisbane Waters is a lovely area, enjoy Andree xxx
hello dizgrannie
hi Diz, yes its lovely
hey there Ruby!!
I have a friend in Hervey Bay but she doesn't play babble, only scrabble and is very curious about you other Australians on here.....
AWW Ruby, tell her to join Babble, even if it is just to communicate. (Hervey Bay is amother luverly spot)
her descriptions are breathtaking -- whales and ocean.....
and she couldn't be nicer!
and she swims with her dogs!
siesta time, see you later!
*poof*
bye ruby
swims with dogs in the ocean at Hervey Bay??
inviting sharks me thinks
hi MRP
shark feed
hi again MRP
hi lynxx et al :)
yep, dogs in ocean = shark fodder
sharks fancy dogs rather than people?
yep, they sure do
suppose they are more bite size
LOL!! too right
How have you been MRP, life settling down a bite I hope
bite? bit!
well, it is up and down... some days suck big hairy gonads, other days the drugs help

(not 24 hours a day science!)
Morning uusue! I was thinking of you all day yesterday! I was visiting with my dad and wondering how your dad was doing?
It is Easter Friday Here is it not there in USA?
*leaves a halo for uu*
yes
he's fine, car, stepmom not so good (updates in my profile as usual)
why you woking ?
it is, herin, but not necessarily a holiday (is in some states but not federal)
not today when Je comes in October
It is a holiday here.
Hello Babblers! How are y'all?
Hi Mark
I am sorry to hear that uusue.
Hello Mark!
hi, mark!
not here, herin, although I think some of the schools are off (not university, though, so I have to go teach)
That is crappy Uus
I am also off today.
CAtholic Universities are closed
I find all this weird and fascinating
public schools and state university are closed here - most stores are open
Stores are closed except for 7-11
I am Jewish, so not much of this happens around me though; :)
and servos and like Hungry Jacks are open after 12
ah, wv, different state - we are a state university too but we are open
OK! More than half way. Taking Dylan to Good Friday workshop for kids down at the church and then we have an Easter Egg Hunt this afternoon! Hope the weather holds out!
Hello WV!
All the stores and banks are open here. Trash is still picked up. We are on Spring Break so there is no school. But everything else is business as usual now on Good Friday. : (
good morning all
dean
Bye Everyone! have a great day!
And Herin...I do hope you are feeling better soon. {{hugs}}
uusue...good luck with your stepmom. If you do decide to make the trip, please be safe. {{hugs}}

You're welcome.
yw
oh, hey there grant! how's things in the neighborhood?
Are we having Spring this year?
Hi Grant. I was looking for a LI 5 but I meant a 6 sisgh
I am not sure. what we are not having so far is burning permits, and I am getting majorly cheesed. They never give us extra time at the other end, even if it rains the whole of april....
?
sorry, mark, just kvetching to grant
I read that as Building permits
nope, burning, and still can't get it done, and I am GRUMPY
It is ok, I am just flitting in and out, kind of wondering what's going on in the chat.
well, burning is not going on.
For some reason, I don't like big grids.
i burn nothing any more,the permits are too much of a pain.i rent a wood chiipper and just turn it into chips for flower beds and landscaping and everything else that i can i toss into the composter..i mean good grief 10 bucks every time i want a single burn? to heck with that
one last one for fireworks. The last un 7/36
and good morning:)
Hi crossy!
Can't you ''make a bbq?
un7/36 - un plus a word meaning dense or not jellylike.
good morning crossy! burning permits here are freeeeee but they are only good from January 1 to May 5
There can't be many towns that allow this at all, can there?
a chipper i can use any time:))))
in our old town herin, yes. It was always allowable to have a cook fire, so we could burn all year long, as long as we had a hot dog on a stick with us
most towns are a lot more liberal, I think, grant
O dear watch out Crossie your neighbourhood serial chipper
:)
thus the well known New England phrase "can't live with em, can't run them through a wood chipper"
well you can.but take the shoes off first
We can have fires when ever as long as there isn't a Total Fire Ban day.
crossy, crossy, crossy, did you learn nothing from "fargo?"
those high heels always jam the thing
I remember in the 80s the wood chipper was a great way to dispose of bodies.
never saw fargo
you should!!!! it's hilarious, and a wood chipper is prominently featured :)
Stupid puzzle.
I am such a fan of burning....it's so efficient. A HUGE pile of funk turns into a tiny pile of ash that I add to my garden, and the cycle starts again
Trif, doesn't that become REALLY dangerous?
Morning folks
i can rent a nice chipper for 20 dollars for the day,feed it any limb or branch up to the thickness of my arm and have a nice pile of chips the size of a one car garage by the end of the day;)
Also do not say in a legal class ''Why use cyinide when you can use Calla lillies are Bella donna as tehy don't leave traces
Hi Bob
LOLOLOL
My son is an Eagle Scout, mark, and we burn next to the stream in our yard, so we cut the odds considerably
there is the chemistry of oxidation...
try castor oil herin..it is long drawn out and painfull
See that is what I never understood with Dexter why not run things through a chiper on the end of a boot
OK, that justifies it then. If nobody was experienced with fire, then...
boat not boot
Crossy, what would I do with a pile of wood chips as big as a garage? And besides, I cut down miles of thorns and nasty cat briars and stuff....don't want them anywhere near the garden
oh, that is a gross visual herin!
What :P
At our Passover se***, our teacher lit our table on fire. It was hilarious.
ugh well that stuff if a pain.but as to my wood chips.i use what i need then put up a sign "free garden wood chips" and they vanish like magic
Clue for De 6 last one please
Haz . . . still looking for the last un 7/36
put up a "free" sign and the tires screech
un + when water is ice it is a *****
indeed grant
PC, if it's your last word then you already have the word that goes on the end. Things are sometimes described as s**** as a rock.
Thank you mixi!
never mind
And if it's cake that's being described, then it's not a compliment.
Water, liquid, so***s...all of these categories!
Got it . . . WOOHOO fireworks . . . now to get ready for a production at church for Good Friday!
you should ahve seen my stoner housemates descend on my left over chocolate cake. That was fun
Well done!
WTG Jonesy!
Okay, off I go. Have a good day!
Bye Haz!
my friend in boston brought a bookcase out to the curb, and forget the "free" sign, so he ran back in to his apartment to get it. When he came back out, the bookcase was already gone! tee hee
lol
had habitat for humanity here yesterday, bot rid of a lot. They left one chair, but took 6 bookcases, 1 chair, 1 desk, 1 entertainment cabinet, etc.

Caffeine rush! Flying wild here!
I have one in my yard...duh!

And the PB is a nice place to be for a while.
I have blush and "take in again"
for sure scrabs, you can still watch for clues
Comfortable furniture, Jacuzzi, great food, dark chocolate---no place I'd rather be.
oh ouwachita, don't really know it, just the word, is it desiduous?
of course, why not scrabbs
not really a penalty is it
*trying to transform into a serious Babbler now*
another re6, 'live at'
re 6/24 (first one) - plural of re 5/14 re 6/24 - plural of re 5/14
lol scrabbs life is good when our resident doc feeds us all the words;)))
re6, change last vowel to cons
thx ame but I'm after re 6/24
I might slip up again soon, Crossy, so be alert.
watching you like a hawk:))
's what I get for only glancing at the chog occasionally, eh?
The Babble Police + purists will chastise me.
Yeah vanilla, I think you want the re6/21, only change the last vowel to a consonant.
omg! it is 5 out and there is sun!!..it is not snowing!!..omg!...not sure what to do with it...lol
Sorry, the re 6/21 that means to live at. Change that last vowel to a consonant.
43F here and the sun went hiding recently
lol wuth my crown in typos i will never be a babble cop or a grammar nazi
Nope, that is only a 6/21 too. Sorry, big grids get me confused.
see? lol
thx for all the helps but I have all those
Why Molly?
The grid has only 300 words.
de 8 or de 6./27?
Oh, no. Ruru is asking for really big words and I am just getting familiar with the grid.
hi all - back for some more brain exercise - been out on the Quantocks and walked 7 miles this morning - got sunburnt again even with factor 30 on
Yay Kazzer.
The 8 would be the state of being liked, loved...
watch that sun kazz...crossy can play tic-tack-toe with his belly scars where i have had melenoma carved out of it
its ok I think I'm barking up the wrong tree, I'll go back into my corner for a while
howdy folks, going to find a few before I start the Hot Cross buns
my buns are hot?? why ty:))
Hi Aloy.
lol crossy
i am as careful as i can be - kept reapplying it but the wind and sun combined wa a bit of a killer today
LOL Cross
hi Scrabbs! snow is all gone, I hope?
i have already had my 1/2 of hot cross bun - no more and no eggs this year
Hot Crossy buns
lol
Gone in the yard but there are patches deep in the woods and on the ski slopes.
no eggs?? gasp!!! every 2 weeks i go to the egg farm for a tray or 2
don't see the de 8
just put the Loch monster on the end of not cheap
de 8 - add the state of being ending to de 4/5
de6/27, kind of the opposite of when lotions go into your skin...
thank you
de8, loved lake...
sorry, wv, just saw your clue...
thanks
yw
a life with no eggs?....i would give up bacon first....
ooh, that says a lot, crossy
indeed
life with no huevos... that's an eggsitential thought
*drum roll*
groan, (-:
"Loved lake" had me scratching my head for a while. And I have the word.
sry for all the bother it was a re6/18 and it was to fix the boot. I am booting myself now, you don't have to do it.
wtg, Molly
LOL!
hi vanilla
Yay for Molly & Vanille. Isn't it great when a clue finally makes sense hours later?
Hi Aloy, have 6 to go and Lickety is a great help
searness
would you say you are very pond of the loved lake now molly?
is that vanilla slice, vanilla's lice, or vanilla s.l. ice ?
Quiz--is that a real word or not?
good morning, all -- back for the last110
there she goes again....
go, vanilla go! am not on the list yet
half is ty scrabbs
vanilla slice the pastry
Burn Lake.
hi nan
199 to go now
so the 8's are de, pr, re and ... ?
lose
ty scrabbs,have that 1
Another free clue!
hi all. quick cooking question....should eggs float while they're boiling? this doesn't seem right....
I have de8 only
I thinks its not coffee, Scrabs
yes they do float i believe
the other 8 is the er 8, plural of the er 7
feather i don't think i've seen you in a very long time
half of them cracked as I was putting them in the water. sigh. going to have to make more later.
er 7-8 combo
the eggs will float if they crack a tad upon immersion
lol, no, but i've seen you hursh! i'm a lurker by trade. i float in and out.
Nope, Vanilla. My problem is no Babble Expert on my netbook. But Free Clue Friday must be honored.
thanks wvteach, cnan
phantom: sepsis
ahhhh, that's it crossy, thanks.
Feather, sometimes eggs crack.
profound, scrabs!
so, air gets under the shell
And I have cracked my head a few times too..explains a lot.
That must be why its called Good Friday
does that mean you're a cracked egg?
I like to state the obvious, Feather, so it is not overlooked.
so air gets in your head and you become an airhead? h'mmm
i tend to use brown shell eggs as they tend to be thicker shelled and those free range organic eggs are not good for boiling as the membrane tween the shell and the egg is almost non existant and makes for tough peeling
lol, i was reading it as a tongue in cheek philosophy of life!
yeah, but these are for coloring. brown won't do!
ahh
we were hoping you'd come out of your shell scrabs
A philosophy of life, huh? A daily struggle for me, F.
how come "disser" is no good?
No, Ruru, it's too scary.
if you start the eggs in cold water and build it up slowly they won't crack
thanks for the comments! better go take them off the stove now, timer's ringing. thanks ruru, i'll do that next time.
and the female, dudess.. no good, sigh
Here is how I boil eggs for dying or for deviled eggs. Put the eggs in the pan, gently. Then add the water. Cover and bring to a boil. Turn the heat off. Let the eggs stand in hot water for ten minutes. Gently pour off the hot water and fill the pan with cold water. Let the eggs sit in cold water for ten minutes. Then dry them and color, or peel them for deviled eggs.
a quick hello to all the babblers esp those whom i rarely see.
it also helps to lower them in in a large wire strainer and leave them in that way.
hi Temple
Hursh, that is a great idea. One of these days, I will get a wire strainer.
I get the water to a boil, add eggs, boil for 8 minutes, check one egg's innards. If OK--turn off heat. If slimy inside then I wait and check in 2 min.
Hi owl.
Hurshy, is you Dad fully recovered?
An ouef is an oeuf!! Hello everybody :-)
Hi Soodle
yes
Good news, Hursh.
brb, putting yeast in bowl to soften, feeding them a tad of honey.. hi Soodle
yeah... sad other news though, my sister had to put her dog to sleep the night before last and she is having a real hard time.
have to be kind to the yeastie beasties
Oh, no. It is SO tough to say good-bye to our beloved companions. So hard!
What happened to the dog, Hursh? Old?
thats very sad hurshy - does she have lots of photos to remember the doggies by
yes. it was her first dog that was "hers" and she had her through HS, college, starting work, getting married... so she meant a lot to her.
she does have lots of photos
thats good - i go volunteer doggies walking on a sunday and it does make me quite sad when the doggies come in
ae 6/21, please?
also when you have had a doggie for that long it has become someone you tell all your secrets to. I really want one of my own but i have to wait till i retire
ae + eat (perhaps fancily)
change penultimate letter for other ae6.
ty hurshy
thanks, hursh
hi nan, kazzer :)

I am still in awe of the egg coloring process. Ours are in to soak now.

Oh, yess - that would be lovely.

let's have a rap s****** - but switch the vowel order
is7 anyone?
ty hurshy
is7 - start like to make something alone, end with a country **** dance

ends like american petrol
thank you hursh
ty hurshy
forgot to wish everyone a very Happy Earth Day
cnan, it was. a rap s******, a jam s****** ... school is now in s******
what ends like gas?
the US Senate?
oh.. sorry they are just gasbags
hehe
ok -- have the word common to rap, jam and school, but dropping the first letter doesn't work
ah -- reverse last 2 vowels -- got it -- ty hurshy
right, that's why i said you have to switch the vowel order.
:)

phantom: serenade
hi again, all!
hey all
hi sue, hi young
hi all
hi jmc
yay, I have ea6 the list! short break and then I can come back and see all the fish I missed
*!* ta da *!* - thanks for the help and thanks, lickety, for the list!
brb to clue -- need to get a java
anyone want clues before I leave?
ok, sorry, about 12 things just happened at once.
I am going to go visit my stepmom, will leave in about an hour.
hi uusue
hi, nan!
I've barely started the puzzle, so no clues for me yet.
hope that goes well sue
how far away is she?
ALthough I do have nbs thanks to some earlier hints in the chat.
She's about a 5.5 hour drive, wildcat
wow
so I'll drive over tonight, visit with her in the morning for a while, and then come back tomorrow evening (or at least that's the plan)
I guess everyone is doing ok so I will be off -- bye everyone :)
bye, nan!
ooh, just got nbt as well :-)
I figure if I leave in the early afternoon I can miss some of the traffic, hahahahaha
nice. it took me almost 200 words to get the right bottom O
good luck with that
(I say that because traffic around the southern tip of Lake Michigan is always horrible)
ah - I am a guitar player with an interest in all types of musical instruments, so the bottom right O popped right out at me.
top right O was my last blank tile, but I have one from there now
pretty Baltimore bird from the left o, sue
ah, thanks, aloy!
had a cardinal on my back porch this morning looking in through my kitchen door...
oops, just read back.. you didn't want clues yet
oh, that's ok, I take them if they arrive :-)
.. and I still don't have that bottom o
has something to do with music.. h'mm
got it.. but don't know what it means, just remember it from past grids
what does it mean?
it's a Middle Eastern type of guitar, aloy - the word (and the instrument) are related to the lute
(plural)
ah so, tyvm
hey sue
hey, young!
ok, off to home, then will hit the road...
have a safe trip and a wonderful Holiday weekend, sue
please clue the second un7. What is teh third letter?
the second un7 refers to a state of matter.. it is not firm, so it is un7
some people might clue it as un +so5.12, but not me
hahaha aloy
(-: Happy Earth Day, kje
you too aloy
ty
lots of holidays.... earth day, good friday, passover...
dough for my hot cross buns is rising now
enjoy making them.. the bun symbolizes the sun, and the cross is the four seasons of the year
I have a veal i the oven
ooh, ages since I have had veal
hmmm yummm - love veal

wiener schnitzel
Got it. Thansk Aloy

I'm just sneaking in to find a few more words before my meeting at 2:00 - hello everyone

braising
http://www.bonappetit.com/recipes/2011 /04/braised_veal_shoulder_with_gremola ta_and_tomato_olive_sauce
having company, kje?
going to friends house for shabbat
nice.. so you are bringing the veal?
yes... and roasted veggies - will roast them when i get there - fennel, carrots, shallots
the aroma must be wonderful
smelling good
I cant get that site to fit in my browser
very rosemary-ish though... hope they like rosemary
love rosemary.. my rosemary plant finally bit the dust, need to get a new one
so great for Tuscan fish ..
just worried whe sauce is reduced it will be too strong... will see
back again - just been off for tea
hi Kazzer
i need to look for lunch soon or else i will eat the veal
LOL, don't you dare!
; )
locks oven door
don't do that! i have to turn that thing every 30 miutes... will be done soon
oops.. ok
must get going - good day everyone
but you keep your teeth off it
bye, River!
ah nice, three words from the top i, all having to do with the process of producing a charged particle
and then the pl of the particle to finish off.. lovely
ty - always miss those since i tend to spell it with a z
me too, kje
thanks Aloy - didnt have any of them
bet the Brits don't miss it tho (-:
yw, Kazz.. took me a while to "see" them
yes... those pesky brits with their weird words ; )
yeah, like theatre
and foetus
Talk show host Jay is in the grid again
got him
he was hiding from me
he has a huge head... should be easy to spot
can't hide that chin, lol
ha
must go turn... bbiab
just turn, no snitchin
hi all
Aloy I made a Chinese Vegetable Chowder the other day which was relly good
hi peri (-:
interesting.. have never had it
imagining noodles in it and lots of veggies?
mmmmmm noodles
with soy sauce on top?
and you eat it with chopsticks?
haha
I would starve or give up and just slurp
the recipe is from : The New Moosewood Cookbook by Mollie Katzen. Good book to have.
river here is the site in a tiny url: http://tinyurl.com/3jztbj7
not very coordinated in the chopsticks department
i have the old moosewood
slurping is considered polite in china
I love Moosewood !!!! But we don't have this one.. thanks!
I can use chopsticks pretty well but no need for them here
i use chopsticks more than forks
wow, jmc.. why?
easier to get--they are in a jar on my counter -- about 40 of them
and to me easy to use--like fingers
thats a lot of chopsticks
ok, maybe I just need some practice
well its only for 20 people if i have company
speaking of counter.. brb, checking dough.. not money, dough dough
i found them easier when I started thinking of them as fingers
if you can have ende**ed why not de**ed?
dummy me! why wasn't the dough rising as expected? Because the AC is on! duh.. moved the bowl out on the lanai.. it is sure to rise now!
lol poor chilly dough *quickly knits it a sweater*
wish I had a lanai:(
i would wish it but it raining so i amcontent to be inside
br 7 and hello.
we are fortunate to have a shaded one, peri.. otherwise we would fry!
*it is
hi bichon!
hi bichon
lol, thanks jmc
br7? don't have it
i try to be helpful! ;-)
just checked the temp in the shade.. 93.5 degrees; oh yes, the dough will rise!
that is hot, Aloy
type of dog....br***le and consonant

hungry wish my staffer would get back with my lunch
archaic word meaning burnt
what did you order for lunch?
bbl
ah.. ty peri
a burrito bowl with carnitas and lots of jalepenos
and a glass of ice water, I hope! lol
<===not a vegetarian
hot, hot, hot
i do have beer in the office fridge
i like spicy
and chopsticks
lol yes we have chopsticks at the office too
sounds like your office might beat out the PB for fixins
no we have been doing lots of mailings and i always provide beer to make the work less tedious (except for the underaged staff you just have to rough it)
poor german intern could drink beer legally back home and is put out I won't let him drink it here
I'd be ticked too
but you can't risk it
hark I hear him now!
not enough jalopenos but it will serve!

she got more words than me to begin with!! i wish i'd never started this grid so late!
WOW these college rings are EXPENSIVE!
price of gold is way up
she's been away all week and came back at 5pm and we had a bbq, i should have just not switched on computor to babble!!!
boy should have ordered a steel ring
hope she had a great time
lol lillian it is good to corrupt her early
she did aloy, and hasn't stopped taliking since she got back!!!, but i have missed her bless her, even if she does do my head in at times lol!
how old is she, liliann?
a good kid does your head in!
jmc, she has the computor on in the morning before she goes to school getting words,she use to do them for me until hubby set up her own page in his name
she's 11, nearly 12 going on 17!!
aww, sweet age
lol my kid of girl!
a good friday procession is going by--in spanish
she's good for everyone else jmc, but me and her her battle all the time! it's guns at dawn here!! lol
trust me--everyone loves my polite boy but he is persona non grata with me right now! lol
aye, i'm not happy, he has given her own babble as now i have to find more words!!! lol
rofl
fw just went off, was so busy chatting it took me by surprise.. time to form the hot cross buns for the last rising before baking.. ciao for now, (-:
i guess jesus is getting hung up in the church in which my office is located -- bells ringing and stuff going on!
well, atleast we have done our job right jmc, if our bairns are good and polite for everyone else, then what more can we ask for?
bye aloy :)
exactly lilliann and the good news is that at 25 I occassionally get to see the polite si**
bye snuffy
and whoo hoo
and apparently she is really helpful to other people, just not me!! lol
have you finished jmc?
she will improve with age like a fi** wine
naw 210 left
mmm, aye, right!!! are you sure????
but no chores for tonight and I am not doing easter this year so plenty of time for me

r yall the only people on here
chatty!! she never stops...lol!! hi soodle
i am here still - i think i wil be here till the flip at this rate
There are 155 people online right now, but most are not chatting. Hello everyone!
rocking the background, first time back since 09
no, there are other people but they don't all chat, and others aren't here because of time differences around the world young

boped
wb preas and hi
hi gwen
*sorry, praes
Hey Gwen, Praes, Young Prod & Kazz:-)
It's been quite a while since I've been here, but not as long as Praes.
its okay lilliann, im used to people gargling it
sad part gwen, is that i've been a member since 06. Played everyday till the birth of my third son and just dropped off the face of babble
well then wb praes
Ha ha ha, Praes - its always the third one that upscuttles you. (Well, personally speaking, anyway....)
it's because my letters are rubbing off on the keyboard! i normally know where the letters are without looking but occasionally get it wrong, but hubby and bairn get annoyed as they can't see them!! lol they balme it on babble!!
hi soodle and all the rest of you - its getting me down today this grid - i might have to give up and have a bath instead
ty all.. I may not be able to play everyday, but imma put my account back to use
it's not a nice grid kazz!!
When I saw 300 words, and E-R and E-D and S, I thought it would be a breezy grid. But I still have 210 to go!
well, even if we don't see you everyday praes, it's nice to see you back
me too gwen
Hi all -- this grid would be a bit nicer if it contained a T

Hello everyone. Have missed you all lately
hi bugs wb!
ooo i loved banff
thanks jmc. Hope you are well and have good news about the job search
thanks jmc. Hope you are well and have good news about the job search
sorry, sorry
no none bugs i am going back to school in self defense
i will be getting a masters in conflict transformation
I loved Banff so much I lived there as a semi wild youth
Oooh sounds like a great topic! should be fun
hi bugs
i have been there 3 times--once in august when it is like spring and once in march when there was 5 feet of untouched snow on the lake
i think it will help me qualify for overseas work--assuming i am brave enough to seek it
hi lilliann
now that you boy is grown, you can contemplate those kinds of moves jmc. enjoy it
still somewhat confined by my cat that doesn't use a litter box
i love your icon bugs, what a beautiful picture!
:-D
it is of a mountain in Banff where we were talking about.
and that is lake louise yes?
oh ok.it's beautiful!
No Verlillion Lake. Lake Louise is a town a bit farther north but not as far as Jasper
oh okay i have a very limited knowledge of canadian geography i confess
sorry about the gaps but my Expert is not working so I have to keep trying twice
i have been to both lake louise and banff and in my mind they were right together
memory ain't what it us** to be
I hope when you were in Banff you got to take the drive from Banff to Jasper. I believe there is no other highway view more beautiful
the first time I was there I did--my sister was living in Calgary at the time
we call that CowTown.
my favorite drive so far, however, is in the U.S. the Nachez Trace
yep I am from Houston TX -- Calgary's sister city
I will look that up and put it on my Bucket List because I have never been that far south yet
but I loved the lakes and the hot springs
hi bugs! (I was away from here for a bit)
brb
Happy Earth Day and Happy Good Friday
Hi jjilli. I hope you are keeping well. I have not been here much lately
thanks and back at ya cosdem
thanks :)

i had to fi** work for my intern so I could babble in peace! the nerve of some people
sorry jmc. was trying to reload quickly but already have the one youpointed out. ;(

oh -- bugs is back -- what kept you away?
sorry jilli. Work and night school but the course is done now.
yw :-)
I hope to be here more often
I must go out too when I get 100 words
Good for you -- what course was it?
It's an old French word that became Middle English. I studied Anglo Saxon and Middle English at uni and have forgotten the lot!
i was alright for a while i could smile for a while
sounds like a Roy Orbison song :-)
Is that a line from a song, or a spontaneous rhyme?
or 6 - sounds like the line you can see in the distance where it mmets the sky, drop the h and changed the 3rd letter from the end
and then i saw you last night you held my hand so tight as we stopped to say hello
and though you wished me well you couldn't tell. .. . . .
it was on the First Nations people but it was not what I thot it wud be so it was not very interesting, hence the struggle
that i've been cryyyyyyyyyyying over you
Don McLean, non?
sing it Roy!!!
roy orbison song and no google lyrics there
Well, it's done now, bugs. You probably knew it all anyway, right?
i love the video where he sings it with k d lang
it's from Crying.... Roy Orbison, and later on, Roy Orbison and kd lang
And now for that lunch and then putting up a wasp trap to catch the queen...
Did Don McLean do a cover version?
I did but I still wanted to learn something so I did a project that challenged me and had a lot of fun with that.
good thinking diane lol
me too, ivesy ! and my nick in my music hub is Orbie..... I wonder why ?? lol
ttfn again...

Ant invasion in the pantry and internet issues with the laptop. I survived.
the ants are terrible around here this year!
use cinnamon as a first li** of defense and boric acid if you are desperate
I am normally kind to bugs, but when the little varmints swarm my pantry, they get sprayed. I've heard that about cinnamon.
my cat's food bowl sits in a pile of cinnamon and never has ants no matter how bad

since i know that all the military bases are closed for good friday (not that the celebrate christian holidays or anything) do you think I can go home early tonight?
I think you should have left hours ago.
i could leave hours ago since my intern was here and he hasn't gotten up to snuff on answering the phone
i think i will leave an hour early at 6
And I'm not sure I get the connection. Were you planing on picking up a few enlisted men and heading to Georgetown?
i answer a hotline on military issues (especially how to get out)
if you are.. im coming with :P
i get enough enlisted men staying at my house before they turn themselves in without picking them up
Cos, you, JMC and I could have a grand old time in Georgetown. : D
BUT. . . . .
agreed molly
oddly enough a cab driver tried to pick ME up today and I don't mean for a fare
i would rather go to U street georgetown is for tourists
Hot-cha-cha! JMC has still got IT.
there are some great jazz bars on U street
dupont cicrcle would be better imo
i just started llllAAAAAAUUUUUUGGGHHHINg
fireworks.
Cos, I have a great story about Dupont Circle.
whoo hoooo cosd
do tell!
I am at dupont circle now
there was a coffee shop on dupont... right across the place from the seedy bar called fireplace.. it was called soho.. is it still there>
My ex and I had gone to see Little Feat at The Warner Theater. We took the subway home. We were the only straight people on the subway car, because there had been a big gay and lesbian rally in DC.
lol they are both gone cosd
man i loved soho...
oh molly ive beeen in that situation lol
CLUE PLEASE FOR SE 6, THE ONE AFTER TEH jEWISH pASSOVER SUPPER
hard to live here and not get in that situation
The ex was not a homophobe, but he had never been around so many openly affectionate gay people before. I whispered in his ear, "Relax, they are all getting off at Dupont Circle." Sure enough, after the Dupont Circle stop, we were the only people in the subway car. : D
ty for the help. Fireworks!
change the last letter inge
LOL nice molly
whoo hooo angel
i was a club kid when i lived in DC.. that was during the age of Velvet Nation.. its closed down though now
Okay, I will hush now. Inge is yelling at us.

bye RO, tc
*TO
Sorry, lil -- I just got back in from cruising the garden and setting that wasp trap!
i've done it twice, and you're there both times! :)
trap set ok?
bad vibes, I guess :-((
i hate wasps!
i've had a lovely bumble bee buzzing around the garden lately, it's a shame i haven't many flowers at the moment
Wasps = scary. Bees = good. (I know this cos I saw Bee Movie...)
we had such an onslaught last year many of us are putting out the traps now to catch the queens before they set up their houses.
lol soodle
what are the traps jilli?
as i've had a few wasp nests
It's been so cold here everything is late. It's sunny today but there's a very chilly breeze -- temp 14C (about 60F).
i loike the bee movie soodle
*like
it's been 20 odd degrees here, up north, not normal for april!
what are the traps jilli?
The traps are a plastic zipper kind of bag with a special hole in the sides too small for bees but fine for wasps. It comes with a lure, some sort of liquid to which you add water, then seal the top and hang it from a tree or something not too close to the house .
Bee movie? The Secret Life Of Bees?
Where in the UK are you, Lilliann?
Hello Moll :-))))
I must read that Bee book...
durham, in between sunderland and newcastle
A Geordie!!!!!
it is an animated film molly
The Secret Life of Bees is a marvelous book. Bee Movie is an equally marvelous movie, but in a different way.
a proper geordie is from newcastle, my family are from northumberland, but i ws born down south and moved up here later. my hubby is from here and my bairn was born here
plus i'm half welsh as my dad and his family are from there
good combination!! :)
Well, Welsh combined with anything is good :-)
I love the Geordie accent.
are you welsh soodle?
y aye man!!
<------------ Irish flag!!!!
oops, aye, sorry
but you could have welsh blood?
But I was married to a guy from Cumbria.
you said welsh combined was good??
ahh rite
ahh, now i'm typing as i speak...your fault!1 lol
I meant any bit of welsh at all is good. I love Wales and the Welsh.
i can say yaki dah, probably spelt wrong as i don't speak welsh
hey lilliann
Yaki dah right back atcha!!! (Not a clue what it means...)
i used to spend summer holidays there with my grand parents and would come back speaking with a welsh accent, and my mam would tell me to speak properly
hi young
i can't remember either soodle, i think it means how are you/you alright/how are you doing? i might be wrong as my memory isn't good with english now nevermind welsh!!
Soodle, what the hell did you do to chat? : P
soodle fainted?
*Sprinkles Irish whiskey over Soodle*
good to see you again and again and again soodle...lol
oh I am so sorry.. I have no idea how that happened. Mae Culpa
what the crap?
i think she had too much irish whiskey!! lol
See! It brought her right around.
well done, molly
I wish!!! Its Good Friday..... a dry day! No pubs open.

*Wonders how Soodle gets to keep her "Irish Card" when she doesn't even know how to get around closed pubs*
Chat is hosed. Someone has uploaded a TOO BIG icon.
UTB
argghh!!!
Bring on the troll spray
SEE!!!! It wasn't my fault! (mumble grumble, mumble grumble)
Oh my....I thought for a minute that there was a glitch on Babble, and I was not to blame for that Mega-Soodle-post..
can we speak yet??
i can't see all your chat soodle or before1
Yeah, but the chat box is overloaded because of an icon that is too big.
and i can't widen it
I think we have to keep it short.
Lilliann, pubs are all closed here on Good Friday.
Or use the shift bar after five words or so to move to the next line.
It's not the icon, it's the long lines the young thing posted
the young thing posted
oh ok, thinking about it, that would be right as you are catholics, sorry

Clusterr clueing in a clustered chog!
don't have it yet TO, sorry
oh, don't let me forget...I have to go get a tetanus shot tonight :(
un7 #2 -- not firm -- gaseous maybe
what happened, pini?
Why the need for a tetanus shot, Pini?
have you been bitten pini?
Koda was adjusting his grip on his ball this morning, but my hand was in the way
Ouch
ach -- bummer -- I've had that happen with my dear Danes long ago.
...just a little nip, not intentional of course...but in the meat between my thumb and forefinger
oh, bad spot!
i am watching siut life on deck
...but is rather sore and slightly bruised
Be sure to get that shot, Pini
not nice, i've been bitten by cars, dogs, nice, gerbils....gerbils are the worst
cars??
mmm, maybe run oever but not bitten lol
I don't worry about the gerbils anymore...not since one ate the other and then died herself from overeating
cats even!
will do, soodle...promptly at 7:45p
oh yuk!
ewww, my hamsters did thet, as in ate their babies
This is why I don't have pet. Uck.
my sentiments exactly, jilli ;)
Still chuckling at Lilliann being bitten by cars...
no babies here...but learned quickly that gerbils are solitary animals...they don't need a playmate!
ty i ill poder that
my hamsters did that too -- we had let a pair mate to show our little boy the facts of life. Not a pleasant result.
If my dentist was a Babbler, he would be on here now, telling about the time he was bitten by a Soodlebum!
is theord with un aword ny itself?
Oh wow Jillibus. What a way to learn the facts of life.
ROFL!
ahh, not good jilli, i hope yopur son got over it!
TO?
Soodle, does he put a brace on you now? : P
(the rofl was about soodle and the dentist. Serves some of them fight.)
sorry, i know it's not funny, but i can't stop laughing!!
* giggle *
Son got over it just fine -- no kids devoured.
hey all.
nice save, jilli
yes pini?
*right not fight, duh
hi m9
and that was to do with soodle and not hamsters
everything on my screen is really little..
I can hardly read the chat
hi m9
hi m9
hi m9
It was a very fraught affair. He refused to treat me afterwards, unless he zonked me with valium....
hold your ctrl key down and 'scroll forward'...everything should enlarge
how strange, m9!
i been a member since july 28,2008
tried that pini...
hmmmm
oh nvm.. I thought I had tried that!!LOL.. I think I was holding down the right click and the left click buttons.. not the control!LOL
that did it!
thanks pini
yvw ;)
my dentist was the same, as in valium, but saying that i needed it everytime i saw him as he scared the life out of me, but it also cost me a fortune!!
happy to be of service ;)
Whoo Hooo M9. Welcome back to the real world
<-- no valium, no dentist (and he knows it!)
Thanks for that tip, pini -- never knew!
yvw jilli ;)
and now I'm gone again. bye all! *poof*
bye m9!
No fear of the dentist. He is the gentlest man alive and he has never hurt me.
bye m9
Lucky you, molly.
no kidding, jill...I'm jealous, Molly
oh man my last four are a run of pe words, i hate it when that happens
Lilliann I am a total Dentist-o-phobe. In my 20's I dated a dentist, but the 'dentist smell' completely freaked me out. End of romance!!
oh my, soodle...
now, my dentist is lovely and i feel safe and secure( i know that sounds odd) but when my daughter was younger i had to go to a dentist so she would go. the only problem being i can't always get there if hubby is away as there are loads of sttep steps upto the practice and i need hubby to get me up them
* sigh * my hand hurts :(
nice roll-model-sevice, lillian! :)
I am scared of the dentist and its my cousin
I've been going to the same dentist (and his father before him) since I was five. They are both dental geniuses. And proof that there is no need for pain when you need dental work.
Running joke in our family about how good looking our Dentist is...All the women go to him lol
sign me up, molly!
When I was a teenager our dentist was a woman who put rubber band pieces between the teeth she wanted to drill several days later. No freezing in those days, no valium. The teeth involved were sore from the pressure of the rubber band to start with. Then the drill was old and slow and ground away noisily. Horror story. Thank goodness times have changed!
Nice Molly
i was the same soodle, had to have teeth pulled out because of my last dentist, he frightened me to death and was doing dental things i don't think he should have been..all money i think as he was private and not nhs!! it got very expensive!!
<-- very happy that hammer and chisel days are virtually gone
Oh Jilli, I am getting palpitations just thinking about that..
thars good molly
i want your dentist sea :)
*thats
I'll sign you up lilliann and he is very nice as well
(any dr's around tonight?)
LOL - Im here Pini :P
She had a good time filling cavities and since then I've hardly ever had another one -- maybe fluoride, but probably just time -- teens are (I think) notorious for getting cavities -- or were in those days (1940s)
Oh, Pini. Are you still under pressure?
I am a DR but not a DR.
* wondering if my hand should hurt like this from a nip? *
if it didn't cost me so much to come over and see him sea i would be there... :)
it can pini, if he bit you in a sensitive area
I'll bet you haven't stopped using your hand today either
pini, that's a very sensitive spot -- but talk to the doc this evening!
that will make the pain flare
wild...in the 'meat' between thumb and forefinger
Pini, did you disinfect really well?
not at all, wild
I washed it really good
who niped you Pini?
it's gonna hurt
Pini.... be sure, not sorry. Go and have it checked out,.
i know when i get scratched by the cats when they play pini, and it does hurt even hours after, and when it is a soft spot it is even worse
Oh, I'm going to go, but the appt isn't until 7:45 and that another 3 hours
DR, Koda nipped me accidently
and bitten by the cats playings
Is it throbbing, Pini?
Oh1 I am sorry Koda did that
oh, not really throbbing...just hurts when I move it (tough not to when typing)
hi wild and dr
hi
oh, btw, it's like a pin-prick size nip
Hi Lilliann
My sister the doctor is with me right now. She says unless it is throbbing, its unlikely theres an infection.
dog did that to me a few weeks ago Pini...it hurt for a several weeks
when was your last, ahhm
when was your last, ahhm
thx Soodle Sister Dr!
oops
last what? tetanus shot?
How long ago did this nip take place, pini?
She says she will send her bill by post!!!!
this morning, jilli...I play ball with him in the mornings before I put him in his kennel (while I'm at work)
thx soodle!!! :)
when was your last , ahh sorry my memory goes, and it's like give me a clue, drives hubby and bairn mad, which is why i do this game,...
ty pini...tetanus!! :)
when I called, they asked...it's been awhile so that's what the appt is for...to get a tetanus shot
clue for is 7/28 please
don't have it yet, matches...I'm only 91 words in
I think this grid needs a T
Matches... Is plus roundy vowel, plus Hook, **** and sinker.....
nm got it
clue plz?
ty Soodle
thx soodle
Another clumsy Soodle clue..... Bring on the dentst with the valium!
ty soodle
hey soodles! hey all!
btw, I WAS bitten by my car, yes car, about a month ago, and needed a tetanus shot then too, lol! I was standing too close to the door when I'd got out and swung it to close it. It bit my leg. Had to get a passerby to put a bandage on so I didn't leave gore all over the car when I drove to the hospital ER to get sewn up. It's nicely healed now.
babbling from the classroom -- it was a chaotic day and I MUST figure out which end is up before I head home.
OUCH jilli! bad car!!!
owie, jill! **hugs**
hi stid ;)
Hi stid -- having fun through the chaos?
My friend knocked herself down with her own car door last week in the parking lot of the grocery store
i couldn't think of the word after hook at first...my memory sucks, but i do have an excuse! i think!! :)
hi Stid
hi stid
((((Stid)))) How lovely to see y9u :-)
"you"
mostly. not happy about one kid who wanted to challenge me during study hall -- a "queen bee" type who will do anything to get attention. And pretty much did.
wow, spray -- these cars are getting uppity!
DR! saw the great poster for Jake's performances. Wish I could attend, but alas! grad school and finances conspire agin' me!
we laughed all last weekend about that
Thanks Stid!
:-D I know soodles, you're just trying a new type o' whiskey, aren't you?
naughty car jilli!!, glad you're ok :)
HE is quite excited... tonight is the Flash Mob at the shopping mall
wow sea... that's the sort of thing I would do!
??? is that where they get a big group together and dance in a public place?
ignore him stid
okay, opening my can of caffeine... *serious teacher at the end of a long week look*
we went camping and had to evacuate the campground due to flooding and very heavy rain, came home to finish out the weekend, had friends over and while they were here a tornado hit their house
Yes Stid... they were trying to get me to dance but I said I will sing but no dancing
SeaSpray... how did your friend get knocked down by her own car?
her lilliann, and I do but not my regular student so limited ability to keep her in line.
OH MY SeaSpray!
oy vay, sea!
Not sure Soodle...I think she said she ran into it lol
that happened to someone I knew too. she forgot to put it in park when she stepped out to open the garage ... rolled back and "bit" her
stid, are you enjoying sunshine today?
sorry to hear that sea, you're not very lucky are you?
oh no! I hope am glad they were not in their house, but how awful anyway!
we ARE! except me. I am inside, so NOT enjoying sunshine.
*Lobs a giant choclit Easter Bunny at Stid before she runs out of the chog*
what's the saying - if I didn't have bad luck I'd have no luck at all?
it's sunny here, too!
Yes, I was glad they were here...house is still standing but with significant damage..tornados are rare here
LOL Wildcat
and a chilly 60F
actually, I should get back to my tasks. I have only one lesson plan to write for Monday, and an outline to revise for the rest of the week. ((Molly)) LOTS to do, but not impossible. *poof*
It's still chilly here though, stid -- icy breeze.
Oh yes, on Sunday I went to wash up all the wet clothes and my dryer went up...What a weekend
See, this is why I have resorted to throwing choclit at Stid. She should be the poster girl for In And Out Burger.
I see you don't get Easter holidays, stid -- we do.
*giggle*
do you not get easter hols srid\/
I got a day off and I'm sick :(
Easter is on Sunday here...so no day off work
ahh, hope you feel better soon wild
We get Good Friday and Easter Monday.
so no good friday there?
thanks me too
feel better, wild
Weve had delightful weather here for the past couple of weeks. The Cherry blossoms are in full bloom, the skies are blue and the temperatures are early 70's. I got so much work done outdoors today, I am feeling very sanctimonioud!
*Hands a steamy bowl of chicken soup to Wild*
we don't get Good Friday off work
ty
you too pini. bites are no fun
thx wild
clue for per 5/12 please
What is growing at the lovely Soodle Estate?
the same here soodle, lovely and hot which is odd for april and plants growing quickly, especially grass, which isn't good as i can't cut it!!
my potatoes have gone mad!1
I have a magic lawn!
pe5/12 -- pe + it's ***lly nice to see the sun
Weather sounds wonderful Soodle..hopefully next week will be warm...we go from 80 one day to 40 the next
thx jilli
yw pini
but is good friday a bank holiday there pini?
Lilliann, you are going to have to give me some pointers on potatoes. I haven't had much luck with them, but trying once again this year.
Well, I have a fine collection of weeds... interspersed with daffodils, tulips and some early bedding plants. But amongst all, the weeds are thriving.
i just put them in bags molly
I scrape frost off the windows in the morning to drive to work and watch kids on campus run around in shorts and tanktops...what's wrong with that picture???
I have 41 left -- all R and S words
i have lovely dandelions in my grass!! lol
That's what I do Lilliann. But they seem to sprout lovely green stuff, but nothing grows underneath.
not sure, lilliann; I'm at work and, if I have to, bank on weekends.
*Is surprised that Soodle grows weed*
pini, that's perfectly normal for insane college agers
My lawn is magic because not only does it grow, it gets 'cut' while I'm at work!
The finest weeds in all the land,Moll!
Just noticed your icon jilli...nice
i grew them for the first time last year and got a canny lot but hping for more this year.i just cover the leaves with compost as soon as the leaves show and then put feed on and keep them moist
*Is surprised Soodle doesn't know that "weed" means marijuana*
The grass I have hasn't started growing yet.
I was told to sprinkle some fine Irish whiskey onto lawns. Apparently, the grass grows 'half-cut'...........
Which should go nicely with the 'weed'................
not only do we have weed but we have grass in the chat....we'll all be getting high!! :)
High Babblers!! Yeah!!!
i think we need it with this grid soodle! :)
I think I need my bed! Good night all, and if I don't see any of you, have a happy, and peaceful Easter.
nite soodle and same to you. tc
night soodle...
...going to take a break from using my hand...back later
Take Care (( PINI ))
i think you need top re phrase that pini :)
sorry, it's my bad sense of humour!
Lilliann, I will try adding compost after the leaves sprout. If I get a bumper crop, I will toast your cheeky little, gnome behind. : P
bye soodle -- bye pini -- hope to see you later!
molly, do you not cover the leaves with compost as soon as they come through?
thats what you are supposed to do with tatties
each time the leaves grow throw the compost, you cover them and keep them moist and then when the leaves grow throught the compost, you coner them again, only thinly and so on
de6/27 help?
that's how they grow apparently
I've tried that with soil Lilliann, but not with compost. That will be my "something different" this year.
opp of something that gets water, like a sponge
not a good clue sorry
oh ok, i always use compost in my bags, everyday compost
Clue for sp6, please?

BabbleRabble, is there a link to where you found your icon picture? I would like to print that image, it's so pretty.

it's always the way pini, plus it depends on which hand you use the most
figures, lilliann!

thx BR!!!
i fall over alot(not alcohol) and have hurt limbs, thumbs, fingers etc and it's normally the ones i use the most!
I hope it is nothing serious, Pini
but even the ones i don't think i use that much, when i hurt them i realize how much i do use them!
thx, BR...hopefully nothing the tetanus shot won't take care of...

hi usue
I am in Ann Arbor at a motel, will visit my stepmom in the hospital tomorrow.
hi uusue
how was the trip, uusue?
how is she is sue?
uneventful, peri, not much traffic. And lilli, I don't know yet, will know more tomorrow. Still quite ill, anyway.
i hope your journey was good
i say that as i read in the chat the other day she wasn't doing well
how's you're dad taking it?
right, lilli, she had a heart attack on Sunday and is hanging on but has a lot of problems. My dad is ok but annoyed that he has to get information third hand.
I've put a bit of updated information in my profile, for those who are following the whole soap opera...
i feel sorry for your dad, with everything he has gone through lately and i know she left him when he got bad, but it doesn't stop him from caring for her and they are still married so her family should let him/you know what is going on straight away, well i would anyway. hope all goes well. it's going to be another tough time on you sue. tc
100 left and need to go to bed and sleep.2.30am here. look after yourself sue, you've had to put up with alot lately, with family, work, etc, as in stretch yourself, so you need to tc of yourself aswell.

sorry I am trying to read an astronomy text and decide if I want to use it for my class in the fall
I'm so far out of it with fatigue I'm just staring at the screen; not entering words!
sounds like you had a heck of a day, nef!
I'm seriously thinking about retiring after today. My younger sister has retired. I love the job; but recovery after a day like today takes longer and longer as I age
what do you do, nef?
I runa prenatal program in a pregnancy center.
tough gig
2 Fridays a month we have New OB day and have up to 8 patients through it. Each is there for 3 hours. They were all in the urpy stage today, and I don't do vomit. 42 years as an RN and I still retch with anyone vomiting
at least when I worked ICU, I could drug anyone who indicated that they were nauseated
I don't think I would deal with that very well either, nef!
Hello, Nef. Forty-two years as an RN is good for more than a few doo rahs.
ok, I am more than half way.
Will see how many of the 4-letter words I can find before collapsing...
how are you doing tonight BR? (I think I dozed off there for a minute. Sorry)
Bedtime for me; seems as though everyone else went to sleep too. Good Night!
night, nef!
ok, I have 221 words and all the 4-letter words. Before I utter any more 4-letter words I am going to go to sleep. See you all tomorrow!
