like i said i wasnt sure if u wanted an obvious clue sorry nan :(
ru... do i wanna know what the woman is doing to the guy in your picture?
normally not, cos, but was really stumped on that one
that's the octomom spanking a guy in a baby outfit for cinco de cinco
i got it from your clue cos, so it wasn't useless :)
ah ok.. glad u got it though
kinko de cinco I mean
phew jes :)
kinko de mayo, you mean?
huh. the weird things people will take public to stay famous... i'll keep my spankings at home and private, i think. :)
she's a very sick person
my icon is dedicated to all mothers btw
Iguess mine is too in a way cos.. she's a mother of 13
Is that really the octomom? She must have had a tummy tuck.
mines a psycho mom
leather conquers tummy fat jilli
and who is your icon, cos?
faye dunaway as joan crawford
NO...WIRE...HANGERS..EVER
(I see now, cos)
alrighty. bedtime here. ya'll have a good night, i'll be back for the other 86 words tomorrow.
its a reminder that you all moms are so much better
crap. i'll swing through the penalty box on my way to bed. sorry.
Actually, the icon theme for today is "Nieces and Nephews" so that's what mine is.
i have a ?.. is mothers day celebrated internationally?
yes, cos, but not on the same day in all countries, i think.
ooh thanks jes
'S okay, jes
No, mother's day as you know it is AMerican (promoted heavily in the 50's by Hallmark).
ugh i had that already darn
Not everywhere on the same date, cos.
thats what i figured, arb
but its nice to have a day to recognize moms
And in many countries, it has evolved into Family Day
i need 4 more T's in the 2nd column for my 3rd bingo
But according to diz, it is in Australia. In the UK there's Mohtering Sunday on a different date -- long before Hallmark.
I'm stuck now

Maybe DrG is trying to stop you drinking! You can have mi7 or hi7 instead, will that do?
nope...im just gonna do an aussie pout..!

Wow - someone needs a Mothers Day hug
lol... nah... im fine..and we have never done mothers day... not much of a commercially imposed displayer of affection...
Hugs are free though - just a bit hard when you are over there
true...but the sentiment holds..so thank you... did you do anything special for MD?
BIG {{HUGGLES}} to all mums/carers/g'parents world widexxxx
No, we don't 'celebrate' either. The odd bunch of flowers don't go amiss though
hi DizG
hi!! Lynxxx
well its just gone 8.30am here...i really must get myself into a shower and start the day... catch everyone later
Enjoy the day Rolin
good morning everybody. Happy Mothers' Day!
Morning Ruby!
wow, I was ablle to start with the pu8 from the chog. yay
how are you lynxx? I just took the houseguests from hell to the train station. Another yay
who were th** Ruby?
my cousin and her 21 yr old daughter. I hadn't seen cousin for more than 30 years and I guess there was a reason! lol
It's a pity it didn't work out...must be nice to have pleasant houseguests - for a 'short' time especially!
since we moved here, 13 years ago, we've had countless houseguests. Most have worked out (and made return visits) but a few have been awful!
your cousins problem was?
she said I was just like her mother (my deceased aunt), controlling, judgmental and cold! And that Burt was just like her sweet father. LOL
she did a lot of "acting out"
fortunately, I was able to patch things over and we parted on good terms but "sweet" husband, wouldn't even say good bye
are you serious! what a frightful guest - some people should learn to hold their tongues - no manners at all. I think I would have asked her to leave
it was better this way, at least she won't be my enemy
You are too good. I wouldn't have wanted her to come back
she won't, I;m sure of that
you can choose your friends but you can't choose your family, a lesson hard-learned
I grew up with many many cousin and aunts and uncles, and now there are very few left, so I'd rather not drop one

good morning all. So retsina is a phantom. How sad!
hi sprite
hi sprite - bit early in the day for retsina for me :-)
for me too! But I thought I'd put it in the fridge for later...
oh, if it's in the hosue i'd drink it LOL
they say deferred gratification is a sign of having become and adult. i only manage to defer my gratification half the time
we have sun today... we could have cold retsina with dew drops on the outside of the glas, while enjoying the great weather... Lol, you do well! I am not even 1/3 adult th4!
clue for the un6/21 after the dark place un5/12?
it's mainly with alcohol i have trouble deferring my gratification - seem to manage everything else LOL
sunny with the odd heavy shwoer passing through here
*shower
un + what protects nerves on top of finger tips (we can file them, paint them,cut them...)
*grin* I could do without alcohol, I am not supposed to drink it due to medication anyway. But chocolate... or warm savoury snacks...
that's a terrible word - i'd never have thouight of it - thanks
yw
i can either do wiothough alcohol completely or i drink it if it's here. drinking some of it and leaving the rest is where i have an issue ;-) i can defer chocolate any time, and warm savoury snacks most of the time
see... together we'd be strong! Or hopelessly lost, of course :)
*grin*
i can defer them all when i have company so we'd be strong!
am getting myself ready to defer them all for a while and losing some weight. But I am gonna wait until the neighbours are done renovating.
i need a break
syl guys

I have seen cardinals around but not at my feeders. I have to hang my flat feeder tr4 up later.
I have dozens of goldfinches--so cute.
I just love it when the birds come back in the spring. Oh, we have hummingbirds too!!
I have to get my hummingbird feeders up too.
I really was surprised to see them this early.
Morning all. Happy Mother's Day to the Moms. I planted some nicotainia, which is called hummingbird mix. I would love it if it attracted hummingbirds.
And the Northern juncos are using the ne4 under the roof of my back deck again---if it's the same pair. They get upset when I go out the back door.
Hi Molly

hi ruby
thank you for all the clues in the chog! and Happy Mothers' Day wherever it's appropriate! hahah
the houseguests from he** left this morning
yay
yay Ruby...what did they do or not do?
hmmm you were just swearing, that's not in the grid, i tried it
na7?
(didn't want to offend -- hahah)
they 1. moved furniture, 2. missed the train arriving and went all the way to Paris and back, 3. ate everything in sight, 4. said I was controlling and judgmental, like my aunt!
oh my! i wouldn't have even used ** then
nm . fireworks.
how rude....
yay mixi!
yay mixi!
Hi leslieAnn
wtg mixi
it was awful
I've never heard of a houseguest moving furniture - taht's a new one.
sounds like it. glad they're gone
how did DH handle it all
I guess if you haven't seen a relative for more than 30 years, there is probably a very good reason!
wtg mixi!! they sound wonderful ruby. not!!
too bad you coulldn't get them to move it where you needed it!
na7 - what carpenters use followed by game, ***, match
I'm sending them to you, next, lilliann!
thanks, origami
ty origami
so if you were so "controlling" why did they stay?
no, you're alright thanks ruby!!
great clue
my cousin was just acting out
ty origami
you're welcome!
Ruby, they moved your furniture???
they wanted to watch a movie and didn't find the chairs to be in the right places
and left them that way
hi all
I had to hide various foods that I give the dogs
hi kazzer
hi kazz
that is sad when they would go after your dogs food
it's upsetting, because I was really looking forward to the visit
Ruby - had some more unpleasant news about niece - apparently she had been dead in the flat for 2 weeks with the cats - cant even go any further - it makes me very sand and it makes me cringe
at least that made me laugh, river
did they want to eat your dogs food?
That is so rude Ruby. No manners whatsoever.
OMG Kazzer - that is horrible
oh, kazzer, that is so sad
oh no kazzer. that's more awful news on top of awful news
Oh Kazz, that's awful. I'm so sorry.
I'll stop whining
aww, i'm so sorry to hear about your niece kazz
group hugs for kazzer!!!!
ah, no, kazz. that's dreadful.
do they have any idea how she died yet?
definitely ruby
thanks - it was even worse for my sister - cos she's just had to go and clean the flat out - eewww
How awful kazz ... so sorry
I'm sure. how is she holding up?
how old was she?
no but they think she may have killed herself
she was 20
so now you have to wait for an autopsy?
si 6, please?
how awful for your sister - ((Kazzer))
they wont release the body for another 6 weeks or so but my dad has sorted out the funeral arrangements
no one missed her for 2 weeks? that's awful in itself
that is dreadful news, kaz
how awful for your sister
I can't think of anything worse
si6 - quiet
well - she was estranged from the family but I think its bad that little sis had to sort it out - you dont expect to have to clear up relatives remains in this day and age
2nd si 6, please?
or bits of them - it still makes me vringe to think about it
not young relatives. horrible any way you look at it
change the last letter for quiet and add vowel nan
that is the second one nan.
dont have it yet nan
I have to go; good night, friends, and a big hug for Kazzer!!!
not, your children, anyway kazz :(
Good night ((Ruby))
bye, ruby
ty lilliann
apparently there is a cat living in the wal - they put in a new boiler and there is a large gap in which the cat is at he moment
nite ruby
nite ruby, sleep well and tc :) hugs
Good Night Ruby - see you tomorrow
maybe it was an accident
yvw nan
when are you coming to England Nan
(nice clue, lilliann)
how strange kazz, but maybe it was one of your neices
oops, *nieces cats??
tht might be why they are going to be doing the tests
We arrive at LHR on June 2 - will pick up car and drive down to Salisbury that afternoon.
ty ruby
i still cant get the feeling that she was eaten by the cats after she died - thats whats making me cringe - i just hope that didnt happen
best not to think about it kazz or you'll drive yourself mad over it. just try and remember her the way you last saw her
anyway back to teh grid - on a good note - my friend from school has just got in touch again on facebook so i might go and see here at some point
even if it did happen there is nothing you can do about it now. lill's right - move past that and focus on the better memories of her
i am - its just too sad but i will get some time off for the funeral
that would be good kazz
at times like this it's better to not have all those details
i've got in touch with a few good school friends from fb that i haven't seen for 26 years
saying that i don't go on fb at the moment as people were hacking into my email
thats not good - did you try changing your pass word?
i've changed it 3 times since being on fb kazz
if i go on now, it's for 10 minutes and that's it
that's what happened to me also lilli -- took myself off facebook
it was suppose to be fun and ended up being a nightmare and all my friends getting horrible emails.i'm thinking of getting rid of it nan, as i don't go on it hardly now, seems a waste of time having it really!
but knowing me, i'll get rid of it and want it back!!
my facebook email is one of those set up through hotmail that I never never go on so if it gets hacked I dont care. My friends dont have that email address..no one does.
lol -- getting it back is easy -- it's getting rid of it that's is difficult
i have 2 fb accounts and it's only one that gets hacked into
exactly nan! lol
i'll have to get my personal friends on the otherone.
gi8 please?

french silk chocolate pie?
brb...think I will pour myself a glass of wine

i'm just pouring myself one now river
allowing myself to have 1 tonight as a treat

h'mm, not 5pm yet, lol.. yay for Kazzer!

thanks all - off to enjoy myself
see you next time, Kazzer.. enjoy!
bye kazz, tc
oh, I know it is past 5pm there.. but not for River.. wonder who started such a silly "rule" in the first place?
maybe the Babble rule makers?
its 5 pm somewhere.....
it reminds me of the song"gotta be 5 o'clock somewhere" my hubby has it on his phone but i can't remember who sang it?
cheers river! :)
Alan Jackson!
so, red or white River?
Can anyone explain what happened today? This is the first time I've been able to get into babble
that's it hoot :0 ty
and hi
yw
hi all
hi hoot.. server problems
apparently server was playing up hoot, well, that's what it said when i tried to log in a few times today
I just put the chocolate pie recipe on my profile...to die for!
That's been happening a lot lately but this is the first time it was for a long time
tyvm River
white - chardonnay is mine favorite
wonder if it has anything to do w/new babble?
pie shell? is that short crust pastry river?
I dont think so hoot....just a cranky server
i know we get flan bases here but not aware of pie cases. we get ready to roll pastry
ah.. prefer a red like a shiraz or cabernet
me to river
you can use either a pastry crust or graham. I like graham but the recipe actually called for a cooked pastry crust
never heard of graham
nice of your daughter to make it! will save the recipe
graham crackers
ok ty
graham cracker crust
so basically i would make my own and blind bake it
Lilliann, never heard of graham cracker crust?
we don't get that here
it was a recipe I got from my Mom and Sarah knows it one of my favorites
no molly
no molly
you cant get graham crackers there?
just the crust needs to be cooked...not the filling. We are lazy here and buy the already made crusts
well, i've never seen them. not a name i recognise, must be american and probably canadian
if not we crush up graham crackers and add butter
we do too, River
Do you make smores in Canada?
we're lazy here too and buy the ready to roll pastry but don't get crusts
sorry England
i just buy the graham cracker crumbs in the box
are graham crackers sweet?
I buy the Pillsbury ready to roll and cook crusts too
yes they are
I cant believe they dont have graham crackers across the pond
graham sounds like an English name
perhaps they're called something else
we get pilsbury cookies that we can make
lilliann you can look up graham crackers online
I just got a red box! Any odds on my getting done today?
brb.. ooh, go away red box! np here, knock wood
I think graham crackers are whole wheat?
yikes hoot...no red boxes here....*crossing fingers*
no red boxes no red boxes no red boxes
i got 300 red boxes in the chog yesterday and i was still able to finish
i'm going to look it up on tescos which is where i shop, when i've finished here
try rebooting hoot
I thought you said you had Puberty cookies, not Pilsbury.
the first al6 please?
lol Kap and hello
hello hello hello
a + what a lamp does
tuph
is that word Kap?
a-hem
thanks river
do you need glasses kap?? lol no but my daughter is getting to that age so if i could give her some puberty cookies to calm down i'd be happy!! lol
I actually had to try it...lol
I looked it up - I believe the English call them digestive biscuits
Afternoon, all. lol. Puperty cookies. Now that will put hair on your chest.
rofl lilliann
they're an American invention
too funny wildcat
*puberty* rather.
We can get a lot of mileage out of my misread
hello judi
she is 11 and stressed out as she has sat tests tomorrow all week and can't sleep...i just think it's too much pressure on children this age!!
who knew?
I love the internet
just wait...mine are 18 and 14
Menopause bread.
No seeds, please.
digestives, yes we have them and use them as a base for cheese cakes
i need menopause bread if it'll stop the flushes!
my 18 year old is a senior in high school - had an AP Calculas test last week...was beside herself
sounds like the same thing lilliann
flushes or flashes?
both I assume
have had those for years....
we call them hot flushes but i think you call them flashes wild, so the same thing
i've had them since i was 35
so sorry
Poor Lilliann has never had a s'more. : (
apparently not
Flush, flash...I never ever have hot flashes...yet...
cant imagine living without a smore
I read that the British equivalent to a graham cracker is called a digestive biscuit.
I am certainly old enough.
wonder why kap!! lol
ugh i cant find the 2nd an7...
same word change last letter for sometimes vowel
Marshmallows suck. *gags*
sorry last two letters, ends in sometimes vowel
hello everyone...how is the grid today?
hi annie. doable
It's great Annie, you are in it!!

LOL, Hi Molly!
Hello (Annie) good grid so far
did you get it from all that mess?
ah thanks wild :)
Hi Aloy, Happy Mothers Day to you too

I heard hot flashes are actually good for you- women who have them have a lower risk of something-or-other
yes i did :)
and Happy Mothers Day to you all
happy mommy 's day all!
it's alot of pressure on the bairns today river, any age
well.. not to all.. just the mothers
guess I am healthy then....
hi cos

Hello Jilli....so busy looking for that word I missed your entrance
i've had he5 tattoos in egypt, they wash off really easily
hi river -- I'm glad you were because it gave me a word too
children have them done on holidays but some children can be allergic to the he5 and have ended up being scarred by them
My pants are too tight.
They used to fit.
Well, I must get some lunch and then go to the library and do my job.
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
then take them off...silly

It's Mama's day and I'm doing great. A gorgeous day here in NYC and everyone was out and enjoying the day. Lots of fun/ And you?
I had a VERY lazy day and did NOTHING. Did not even get onto Babble until 5 today.Wasted a beautiful day.
Everyone needs a VERY lazy day from periodically. Don't consider it a wasted day.
i was assuming min meant it as a good thing, shows what type of person i am :) lol
just popping in... popping back out now... (pop)
It was good and bad. Good in that I needed to catch up on sleep and bad in that it was a beautiful day and I spent the day inside. Was only outside twice today to take my dog on his walks. Back to work tomorrow.
Good Evening Everybody. And Happy Mothers' Day to ALL!
Good evening, Nef!
Hello Nef! How are you doing? Welcome to the puzzle!
hi gwen! How are you doing this evening?
hi Min. You know; it's probably a shame you missed the glorious day today; but it's good you got caught up on sleep
Working hard to find 11 more elusive words! Enjoyed a quiet day, and got to talk to both boys and my mother, so it was good
I'm just starting out on the grid and have 172 words left. We had our grandson overni6; then spent the whole day til now with DH's Aunt and our kids.
Jusgt starting out also. Spent afternoon in the park with two grandkids and then went out to dinner with both families. Wonderful way to spend the day
it is a lovely way to spend a day; but it's also nice to kick back and relax afterwards
good evening all. Back to try and finish
*sigh.. I have to settle for phone, facebook, skype, and pictures usually, but I am definitely thankful for the technology! Much better than the days where written letters were the only way to communicate!
i know that i am lucky to have them all here in town
I'm finding it funny that 1 little 2 year old can make such a mess when there are 6 adults watching over him!
Our son's family is "here in town" too; but that is still almost 40 miles away!
Hello Everyone! Happy Mother's Day!
We're in NC, one son in TX and the other in WA. And my folks are in PA. So, 40 miles seems close to me!
Hi car.ee. Happy Mothers' Day to you too!
Hello car.eeyore! How are you? Welcome to the grid!

Hello LeslieAnn! How are you doing? Welcome to grid!
good-o. took mom out for some bbq for dinner.

I had total yogurt
we always do Famous Dave's BBQ for hubz birthday...get to do it next week!
mmmm
i guess, never heard of famous dave ; )
Sounds good, lbd!
it's a franchise, bbq. really good.
Famous Dave's started here in MN I think
well of course! MN being know for great BBQ - LOLOL
just teasing
lol
No, I laugh about it too, kje
It is good BBQ anyway
Heyas kids ..
heya torg
they don't drench the meats in sauces, you add your own sauce from their selection. good stuff
hiya TORGIE!!
hi bgh
i will have to tell crossy - we had bacon ice cream for dessert!
Hi Torgone!
Hello torgone!How are you doing?Welcome to the grid
someone pass the napkins...BBQ sauce running down arms....slurp slurp...yummy
how was it, LA?
better than you would think. it had "candied bacon" topping... heck if i know what that means
denny's has a bacon-fest going on...and they have a maple bacon sundae....
i've had bacon baked in brown sugar and maple syrup. crunched up with cream cheese on top of a cracker. tasty.
but i'm not sure i'd want that on my ice cream
it was fun to try.
we just got one for a table of 5
I'm not a bacon fan so it sounded horrid to me but my DH loves bacon...his eyes were glued to the ad...
lol, yeah sounds like my hubz.
I'm not all that into ice cream either...more of the ice treat lover...although I'll have to admit trader joes has a coffee blast that sent me into heavenly orbit.....yowza!
It's not fair....my DH eats chocolate, cake, ice cream cookies, etc. and only weighs 160-170 tops and I weigh...well, what I weigh...and eat sugar-free popsicles...sugar free italian ice...sugar free everything....crap...
maybe the sugar free isn't what you need, M
yep I'm beginning to think that it's not good for us...
a's abolished
I eat green veggies and fruit...and he hardly eats greens or fruit...great scott!
oh, wait, havent done the ar's
Hi sue
sue is that the pirate ones...ar's
are the e words difficult? having a block with them (no li** yet)
I do much better without sugar free stuff. I don't crave sweets nearly as much. BUT, I do allow myself a small amount of really good sweets. My favorite is dark chocolate Dove bites
I am stopping at 191 words and 2446 points.Bye to all
Goodnight to my fellow babblers! I'll see you tomorrow
the en's were a little tricky to find, but all are "normal words"

I'm so delighted -- got a pMohter's Day phone call from my dear grandson, age 32, and found out he has a new girlfriend after breaking up sadly with the one he had for about 6 years because of the futility of long distance romance.

He's been single for about 2 years.

I'll try to do some cluing but am also watching PBS -- "South Riding".
BBL !
fabulous, pini!
I have totally given up with this thing
I hope the next grid is smaller and kinder
160ish seems to be a doable grid size ;)
I would like a larger grid but not picky
I am hoping for 200ish
Well, I'm going to see what I can come up with for the next icon theme, which hardly anyone cares about these days.
If I pop down to Melbourne, can I come see you infern?? I would bring my daughter
Sure. You could stay here too.
oh jilli!!! a lot of people ask about icon themes!!
I keep the puss up cause she is my monika by virtual
thanks infern :)
But I enjoy learning about stuff, although the next theme is just a repeat of pet and animal day.
Mr Pres can you talk to me for 5 on FB please
I gave my son a T-Shirt the other day... it says 'VIRTUALLY PERFECT'
sure infern
The other T-shirt he got was 'sorry if I hurt your feelings, I was aiming for your face!'
waiting for you to log in hunny
I am there
oh, and his favourite.... 'I have never met anyone I can't annoy'
THat is perfect for a teenager
