her problems don't last too long, but she is now my height and eyeballs me only 2cm from my face!
yikes
I am nearly 6 foot!! she is only 13 and I can't believe how tall she is!!
my son towers over me. I'm 6 foot, he's 6'5. It was really hard to discipline him when he towered over me.
now he just ignores me
We have a 14 yr old granddaughter that is 5'11
HI
it seems like kids are taller now
hi herin
hi infern **hugs**

Is anyone in the States and can tell me when 3-4 Eastern standard time is please
Hello -- how's this grid?
goes ok herin... confirmed today my broke foot won't let me ref for 4 weeks
jilli, grid is nice
How the heck did you do that? Hi Jill
herin, I really don't understand the question
OK What time is it on the EST ?
right now we are not on eastern standard. we are on daylight savings.
oh good -- I was sorry I didn't have time to finish the last one, which was nice too.
it is almost 2 AM on the east coast of the US
NZ is 24 hours ahead of of EST if that helps
how can 'referee' not be in the grid!
and it's almost 11 pm on the west coast.
central us time is almost 1aam
Thanks. I am needing to know because a game is being released at the time.
2 am on the east coast
western us time is nearly 11pm
the grid here shows North American Central time.
bbs, need to get number one son
so Eastern time is one hour less.
I a really impatient
no, eastern is one hour ahead. it is almost 1 here in central - it is 2 eastern
oops
it's ok, Jilli- you can't know everything and you know quite a lot
so add one hour to grid time, herin.
Thank you Jill. I will remember that.
joey, I knew but got muddled -- tired, just back from bridge ;-)
I am watching Carnival to kill the tie
i think that I have been muddled for a while - I really like that word, hope you don't mind if I borrow it?
feel free, joey, lol!
thanks
I haven't even started
hi everyone
hi flosey
glad to see a nice small one
Hi Flosey
nbt
Slave Lake is over 50
Slave lake?
Slave Lake is over 50% gone and what is left is not livable apparently
wow jilli that was fast
Northern Alberta community has been wiped out by wild fires.
it's a nice grid so far, flosey
THat is so so sad. Man made or nature?
on the news now
Is an one dead or injured?
nan, I'm just watching that on the TV news -- awful.
don't know -- fire just started on Saturday and has been moving very quickly (100km winds)
and meanwhile, flooding in Manitoba (and elsewhere)
I don't think so -- must most people lost everything, because there was no time other than to jump in a car and try to outrun the flames.
We don't get much OS news
20 left for tomorrow -- off to watch the news. Goodnight :)
gnight nan
Night Nan
over halfway

nearly time to go to work
tena
have a good day Glan
What time is it for you Glant?
lefe
ooops, bad monkeys, good job it doesn;t exist!
it is nearly 8am
leer
Ok
what time do you start to work?
whenever i like as long as it's before 10 - and i finish whenever i like as long as it's before 7
That doesn't sound too bad.
now that's a nice work day
flexi time is great because i drive 35 miles to work and it means i can avoid the rush hours
that is good
I do like that aspect of your job
great to miss the rush
ACK. stupid tv. Every time it goes to a white screen it blurs out
When we lived in Ontario, I drove both ways in rush hour traffic, not nice
i hate traffic
but i am working away form home for the rest of the week - cardiff today, kidwelly tomorrow, st davids thursday and laugharne friday - it will be like being on a tourist traail LOL
I don't like public transport
I tried driving in my moon boot... didn't work...
trains are ok but my nearest railway is 20 miles away and by the time i drive that far i may as well stay in the car for my whole journey
MR PRES
sounds interesting anyway Glant
tsk tsk
morning mr P
it is interesting - and now i hvae to go - see you all again
what is a moon boot?
*poof*
hi and nbt
Mr PRes how did you stuff your foot?
Glant, recently took a 5 hour trip on a bedsitter train... was fantastic!!
herin, running backwards during reffing... ran into a divet... sucks hairy gonads
Man that is not good.
well, will be getting my compo paid up by the reffing organisation
We so need a new tv
I didn't think there was a need for a moon boot for a broken foot. I just thought it was one of those things that would fix itself
does anyone have a clue for an7 please?
nb, got it
One thing or ?
thanks herin, got it as soon as I asked! so typical
No dramaas
ooh ooh, red boxes
yep
down to 35, must get to bed, goodnight all
Night
good morning? is anybody there?
good morning all
hello sprite!! how are you? Is it cold there?
cold and immensely wet. I am not too great, but hanging in there. How are you?
we've had very little rain but just enough, this past week, for the garden to be at its peak. And the cold is making the roses and peonies last longer.
As for the rest, same same
my houseguest were an annoying disaster....if you don't see a relative for 30 years plue, there must be a good reason!
it's raining cats and dogs here. I am postponing walking terra!
plus* not plue
lol yes! so now you remember the reason?
as my son said, "She was always a flake", and an opinionated, arrogant one, at that
oops! Don't invite again :)
didn't invite this time, but her daughter had a month in Italy and she asked if she could come by
you know, those grids that are tight from the first word? This is one for me!
I think that's the problem with living in a tourist place. It may be beautiful, but it attracts people
I think the word 'no' should be used far more often.
it's not always easy, and she and I were friends a very long time ago. Cousin even babysat my son
in all honesty, I'd rather have someone tell me I am not welcome, than have them talk about how awful I was when I am gone again.
I see what you mean about this grid. 32 words but I have to go in 10 minutes, getting my terrible hair cut
you are right; I stand chastened :(
aw I didn't mean it that way, don't feel bad!
the problem was that I was really looking forward to the visit, thought it would relieve some of the leadenness around here
I only have 42 words in, no speed at all. That is a real disappointment then :( Invite someone you _know_ will make you feel better!
and her daughter was worse, kept breaking down into tears. What was that about?
she kept breaking out in tears and not telling why? That is rather odd.
I think there's a history there that I know nothing about.
and not just quiet weeping, but histrionic sobbing
if it shows so much in public, it is probably a long-standing problem that nobody ever deals with. You are probably best off not knowing ;)
I even made her cry once (mean Ruby), when I was shocked to find out that she didn't know what a harpsichord was. This is a 21-yr-old college student majoring in performing arts
ouch! She should know. And your telling her just that made her cry? She is severely depressed th4, she really should find help. Medical and therapeutical. She still lives with her mother? Maybe leaving home would be wise.
must go and get sh***. I hope it turns out better than the last haircut -- bad Ruby has bad hair
no, she goes to university on the other side of the country! What's that about? hahah
think positive, rubyfoo. Good ruby has good hair. Good hairdresser has a wonderful cutting day.
wise girl. But with too much luggage from home.
new hairdresser and I USED to have good hair
*poof* fortunately, it's in the village, so just 3 mins away by car
do you know life is much more fun if you go about living positively? ;) Go for it and get your hair done wonderfully :)
I'm taking along photos of the way it used to be, very short and close to my head. We'll see. I can always wear turbans!
or shave! Bald is sexy :D
ve
ve right back at ye, TL
fireflies with the help of a2z. Fun if you like pulling teeth from a chicken. (I do). Bye all.
good morning everyone;)
hi, crossy!
howdy sue!
did you get that protein folding game I sent you a week or two ago?
not sure sue,so many reformats and new builds,i am not sure which way is up of late.better shoot me a link for it again
and of course you are in my folding group?
of course!
good girl;)))
Here's the link; I'll email it to you too: http://fold.it/portal/info/science
ty in my folding at home,i see some of us have fired it up just once or twice;((
my computer at home is running it 24/7 (except when I have to reboot which isn't too often)
don't have it on my computer at work, though
mm gave yours a fast scan.it is basically doing what F@H is doing
except you get to fold the proteins yourself :-)
cool! will have to read it deeper later on! it is bookmarked now and will not get misplaced
the idea is that humans are very good at pattern recognition and can be a valuable add-on to the computers (imagine that!)
yes with F@H i must admit that for all its certificates etc all we are doing is supplying bandwidth to the eggheads;)
having written some pattern recognition software I can tell you it is a very hard problem to get a computer to do what humans can do instinctively
the miracle of the human machine indeed
we are still good at some things :-)
thats why we often win at chess against computers..we can think around corners or "outside the box"
i will never forget a management class i took long ago and the instructor said....
"management is basically making important or dangerous decisions with not enough information at hand..and being correct"
sounds about right :-)
Hello kids.
hi, scrabs!
scrabby!
you are late! sue and i are already folding human proteins and not even the first cup of tea yet!
I was just thinking of you, Crossy. Our local TV station featured a local restaurant that wraps a hot dog with bacon, deep fries it, places it in a bun and then pours melted cheese over it. It's called the Whistle Pig.
we hope to cure cancer by lunch time;0
other than the deep frying part is is a classic whistle dog
sounds kind of gross, actually (although the ingredients all sound good)
we may have our poultine,but we are not manic on deep frying everything like you guys down douth,oreos,mars bars,butter balls,entire turkeys...igh
south
Totally gross to me. (vegetarian)
ugh
I am getting back to vegetarianism myself, scrabs, I think it will help me lose weight and get healthier
Good for you, Sue.
lean meat and fish when chosen with care and cooked correctly can be a part of a healthy diet
thats why we have those funny flat teeth in the back of our head and not 6 stomachs lol
True, Crossy, but when I started Gross Anatomy in August 1981 I could no longer eat meat (muscle).
Today I get to do 50 sports exams on middle schoolers. Last wk I was at the high school. I am relieved to no longer be an adolescent.
well,if you refer to it as flesh and muscle all the time and watch the meat packers killing stick competitions and the speed sluice floor cleaning competitions..it may gross one out
*barf*
lol,must of been fun scrabby
oh, me too, scrabs (glad to be no longer ado)
and I understand about the lean meat and fish but they are expensive and unnecessary, and make me crave not-so-lean meat and fish :-)
I saw a lot of nice kids but some are so rude and annoying.
lol,i understand but want expensive?? organic veggies in a place that has 7 months of winter
it is the non stop swearing that bugs me in those schools scrabbs
my partner volunteers at the local food coop so we get 20% off everything there, that helps a lot!
we were entertaining on day about 2 months ago and we had a vegan couple who were joining us so wife and i had a brilliant idea to make up a suitable veggie plate with various dips....
well that platter cost more than the rest of the food combined for 5 other couples!
i guess if you live in a place where you have a 12 month growing season it is much better
Back with breakfast--yogurt + oats + frozen raspberries.
organic would be nice but is usually too much of a luxury for me, unless I grow it myself (we are starting to get some asparagus from the garden now)
lol@ scrabbys panda food..crossy is feeling guilty and goes for a glass of v8 juice...
I am in zone 4--cannot plant til end of May and then first frost hits by mid-October.
we are in zone 5a, a little better than 4 but not a lot (frost warning this morning)
i am in zone omfg! and we had frost last night lol
mmmmm..v8 juice..feel the vitamins....
I checked the map, and you are correct: Zone OMFG. You can't grow anything up there, can you?
is anybody still here?
Hi NK
aaah, I am not so far off!
hello scrabbler
hello sue and crossy, if he's here
it is very close to freezing at night but perfect in the afternoons
Today Show just updated us on Dominique Strauss-Kahn. What is the feedback in France?
Crossy must be dancing and singing after drinking his V8 juice.
hi, ruby!
I always liked him but now realize that he is some kind of monster and, probably, pretty crazy. Why would somebody in his position so something like that? It is hard to imagine....
but he is handsome, in a crazy, macho way.....
Sex drive trumps judgment for so many.
here is a very nice planting zone map..we are in the cusp of zone4 to 3...
http://www.hgtv.ca/gardening/plantzone s/
((ruby))\
I don't understand that for someone who is so prominent
well, and I think some people in positions of power get the idea that they are so important that it doesn't matter what they do
we had a big argument about it over morning apero
like running down the hotel hallway naked? OMG
who are we talking about?
my husband was comparing it to Bill Clinton, but I don't think it's even remotely similar
Looks like you are zone 4, like us.
Dominique Struass-Kahn
do not know her so she can be as strange as she wishes
Crossy--French official, head of International Monetary Fund, got caught misbehaving in a NYC hotel.
no no, that is a he! crossy
Dominique = French Dominic
another govt trough feeder spending peoples money same all round the world
the fact that they are keeping him in jail, and in Rikers Island, strikes me as very odd
Serious flee risk, I guess.
they view him as a flight risk - if they let him go he will leave the country and not come back
and what was he doing, staying in a $300, night suite, on "private" business. What's that about?
$3000
$3000/night <----
maybe he is vegan:))
lol could not resist
crossy is bad
missed a zero (:(), but I always thought he was attractive in a macho way, unlike most Fr politicians.
Organic veggie suite.
somehow I doubt it (and I don't think the $3000 includes food anyway)
He's a pig, that's all I can say. morning everyone!!
hi, blue!
howdy blueheron
Hi Blue Heron. I saw my first blue heron of the season--flying above.
hi, blue, pig is pigs!
lol!!
I haven't seen one yet this year:(
and his wife is evidently a big deal journalist. But with the last "pecadillo", why didn't she leave him?
My hummingbirds returned last Thursday.
me either, blue, there's one that visits the stream outside my office
maybe she will, ruby
I went to a red hatters function this weekend. What fun!!
we don't have hummingburds (collibri) in this part of Fr. Maybe DSK has chased them awya!
What is a red hatter?
ditto
(I know how to spell birds.....)
A hummer hovered in front of my face on Fri as if to say, we're back!
blue is in the grid!!!!
TY, Ruby
fo 8/70 plz
better a little hummer than a GM one!
hello ivesey
Hi Ivesy. I'll look
I bet it's a compund word starting with fo4
*compound
foil
like calling ahead.... lol
Free Word!
didn't think it would be that fo4, scrabs :-)
and hi, ivesy!
Nope, the other fo4
morning everyone, that word is making me crazy lol
Gotta get ready for work. Enjoy the day everyone!
bye, scrabs!
bye scrabs. have a good day
{scrabs}}
I can't get it either, ivesy. Hello, all.
hello hydra
hi, hydra!
Hello there, ruby. How's your pond?
pond is very quiety; fish are hiding from the big heron, but they eat stealthily after hours
or even quiet
whoa, I found it!
give uusue give lol
We have ten new fish. They are very shy and we only ever see them at feeding time.
the Red Hat Society. It's an organization for women. We just go out and have fun together. Red hat's and all. Check out their website.
Give us a clue then, uusue!
do you have to be "of a certain age" blue?
well, it's a compound word, starts the way scrabs thought, and then adds another f4. sort of a creepy word in the context of our previous discussion about mr. imf...
(although apparently it has more to do with fortunetelling)
yaa for crossy!! just folded my first one sue!!
I missed that discussion. Will have to check back.
yay, crossy! fun, isn't it?
54 left and must break for lunch, Laters, all! *poof*
still learning byt yes
bye hydra, bon apetit!
It's from 40- eternity!!! The 40 -49 are pink hatters. When you reach 50 you're deemed a red hatter. Each chapter has a Queen and Vice Queen. I am Diva of the Dunes.
not even half, yet, and needing to lie down. Silly Ruby
what happens after 60, blue?
We have pajama breakfasts, where we arrive in our jammies and hats.
good morning in the merry month of may!
and what do your (critical) husbands say?
You can be a red hatter at 90 if you want to.
{{kaplan}}
how do I join?
I don't have a husband, but I haven't heard of any problems with partners.
but it may need light arms.....
I don't look good in hats.
I look like a big mushroom in hats -- very short
You can go on the Red Hat Society website and can join there. Then you can find chapters in your area or nearby. We are from all over the world!
sue could you clue the fo again plz.. i have a mental block this morning
hi, kap!
fo8 = fo4 + fe4, kind of a premonition
I have a teeny hat that has clips on it for my hair.
and personally I hate hats. if it is raining I wear a hooded jacket and/or carry an umbrella.
ty, sue. I qould never have thought of that one
ah got it that time ty!
whew! sue,solved 3 byt the 3rd one was nasty!
I used to love hats, but probably looked ridiculous
i'm still on the intro puzzles, just finished #11
complex lil proteins
omg!! these 27 are just intros?? i think i just bit off more than i can chew lol but #4 is done
yay, half, now I can go and lie down!
see you later
tried a real protein but going back to the intros :-)
bye, ruby!
Bon Jour ruby, suee crossy
bichon, tonight's the night, right?

"Who Wants to Be a Millionaire"
howdy bichon
and it's going to be a great day
darn complex things,sheet alignment,hydrogen bands..number 8 is done but i must take a break sue..my brain is melting
Wow, I thought Shwarzenagger was a horn dog before. Now I think that like ten. He admitted to fathering a child with one of the household staff, hence the divorce.
now the truth be told!! never could see what she saw in him.. morning molly
hasta la vista, baby
Fooling around with the hired help is the lowest of the low.

BYE!
oh, my partner REFUSES to go to the dentist. drives me nuts.
fe 6/27 is a misspelling of the Tinker Bell folk
Sue, has he considered sedation dentistry?
that's the only thing he will consider, molly, but it's expensive and he doesn't have insurance
thanks for that fe Molly
not seeing it, river
have you ladies seen the new mamogram"tables"?
tables???
you lay on it like a massage table and let the boobie in question dangle through the correct hole and the plates are snugged up from underneath no more squashed boobies
still new stuff but was interesting reading
no more flat boobies and ruptured cysts lol
comical to think how that looks....
must feel better
my mrs was in tears last time they mashed her mammaries
I would think so, crossy - don't have them at my doc yet but maybe soon!
crossy...are you speaking from experiencing this?

Hi EvaN
So far, lips above the water level.
heh, glad to see we arent drowning just yet...its a bit early to be treading water.
Looks like it's going to be a watery week 'round these parts.
howdy eva
4th day of rain here:(
10 more minutes and i shall unleash crossy,s tidbit of the day:)
Hi all.. opening chat to announce that so far I have found three birds and one stinging insect
Hi Aloy
squirtainly will be, molly. i managed to get on the train before it started raining, and blessedly, there was a break in the downfall while i walked into the building. no umbrella for me yet today!
Hi Aloy, it's a natural kind of grid today.
(-: yes
Squirtainly...another Eva classic.
No grass walking for a while. Too squooshy.
Good morning! My first word today...vi 4/7. This weather is vi 4/7. I have to go clean my boys' room which is vi 4/7. So many uses for such a great word!
and it is now time for crossy,s tidbit of the day....
hi car..
Due to the “naughty†dancing of the can-can girls, and the scantily clad models on 1800s French postcards, the British equated anything risqué with France. In fact, that’s how the phrase “pardon my French†entered the vernacular.
Hi Car.
Good morning Aloy & Molly & Crossy!
ty for the tidbit, crossy (-:
Cleaning "boy rooms" can be dangerous.
very cool crossy!
howdy car
hello car! and everyone else as well....that vi4 was my first word too! brain waves~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
howdy trif
hi Trif
hello my dear ones
interesting, crossy
Hello Trif! Only here for a quick NBT, then I am off to clean the man cave.
todays breakfast: bagel with cream cheese and honey, banana, iced coffee with skim milk, splenda, and a shot of toffee syrup.
depends on the person i think trif.when i log into a fresh grid my eyes immediatly track to the top left corner hence vi was also my first word but my mrs says she tracks to the upper right so she would be hunting for st,s right off the hop
nbt pour mois!
bbbbllllhhhh
Ooo, toffee syrup in coffee, sounds good Eva.
and then there is ever-the-anal kadresa, who solves each grid in alphabetical order.
YUmmmmm
lol eva,for just a second there i read a shot of whiskey lol
Wait, wait. Alphabetical as in by the grid, or totally alphabetical?
I meant by the list.
alphabetical by the grid, I think
She does! Cool! I've tried that.
I like to make patterns in the tile stats - like yesterday, I greyed all the outside tiles first, sometimes I will try for a checkerboard effect, etc
I think someone posted that they go back to front, as in z to a.
That is cool too!
Stats please for the bottom N?
crossy, if it were a shot of whisky, i dbe MUCH happier to be at work! alas, just a shot of syrup. wanted vanilla, but they were out, so i opted for toffee. its a fair-enough replacement...
I have an ne 5 off that one, dearest
Got it! TY! NBT! Off to clean!
have changed how I attack the grid.. like to start off in the upper left, proceding from left to right.. but.. allowing myself to type in anything I see as I go along, returning to the "order" when I can't see the next word.. much faster.. then after I have done the first "sweep", I go back and zero in on the tiles with the fewest counts. After I have found 3/4 of the words, I open chat and hit the list.
happy cleaning, car..
<---- taking Allegra and nasal allergy spray before I head up there....
so many interesting ways people go about the grid.after my initial word,i choose the letter with the highest word total and focus on that
Aloy, I have taken to keeping chat closed until I find the big words.
kind of like taking the bad medicine first lol
Molly, I enjoy chat so much.. but the reason I keep it closed is for the fun of finding a biggee word by myself.. so I know how you feel..
i do much the same as aloy, aiming for NBT, NBS, and halfway. then, if there is time and i have the inclination, i try to get over halfway for the stats on each tile.
I'll bet most of us set "goals" for ourselves... like golf or any other game, we can play against ourselves to get better at our skills
well, maybe not in some games.. competition vs others instead of yourself..
but Babble is so cooperative!
good morning all! Lately, I've gone back to reverse alphabetical order, so I don't have to scroll through the list. Otherwise I start at the top right corner and work down and left. (haven't even looked at the grid yet, hope I didn't list any words!)
howdy jessmom
hi crossy
id rather set my own goals. i dont usually have the time to finish grids (this used to be my goal, and i would get so stressed out!) so i find i can enjoy the game much more if i just set my own personal goals.
hi jessmom, think you are safe (-:
phew!
found the second bird:)
I'd rather set my own goals too. And for the life of me, I don't understand anyone being competitive about this game. It's all about fun for me.
one of the birdies starts with the v, crossy
thats the last one i need
how tweet.. let me know if you need a clue
there is a white-eyed and a red-eyed version of it and you see it in the woods
I had no idea that was a bird. Learned my something new.
actually, there are lots of versions of it, but those are the only two I am familiar with
hi :0)
crossy is going to cook this bird if he can find it!
bagged him!
lol, here is a nudge: vi5.16 and it is too small to cook!
yahoo, wtg crossy!
hi Maryte
is of7 a compound word ?
no, but it ends like the title of Hailie Selassie (sp?)
thanks Aloy :)
.. yvw
great clue, Aloy
lol, ty Annie.. guessed at the sp of the name
who would you have chosen with that title?
Napoleon? .. h'mm
easier to spell
Hailie Selassie would come to mind
good then.. (-:
hi again all, breakfast time
The one with no clothes. : P
Hi uu
sh6.39 sent me to the dictionary: "to test the genuineness of, as a coin".. oh Molly, that is perfect !
hi uusue
And widely recognized. The sh 6 is whacked.
just a little tidbit to add to the conversation.... The Duke OF HARAR came to our small town in the very early 50's .... Big event !!
newbie for me
confessing ignorance here.. tell me about Harar?
re: of 7/52 He was the guest of my music teacher and another school teacher who had done 4 years of exchange teaching in Etheopia
ah, ty diane
he was the son of Haile Selassie ... died young though.
didn't know.. amazing what one learns on Babble!
I thought that was a very sharp clue!!
and to think I just found th6.21, appropos to our conversation
thx for the sh, found it through reverse dictionary (which is probably cheating but who cares?)
not cheating, sue, research :)
just a little paste re: what I was speaking of earlier, and regarding Robert Thompson, from my home town : In February 1944, the air force posted him as commander of the newly formed Imperial Ethiopian Air Force. This appointment led to a 15-year public service career in Ethiopia and the Sudan. Perhaps the highlight of these early years was accompanying the Duke of Harar on a trip to Europe and North America. Thompson had the enviable opportunity to introduce the duke to his home town of Innisfail.
It's a nasty, tricksy word Sue. Any means necessary.
and there.... I've filled up my daily quota of chat space !!! sorry !!
there you go, annie and molly :-)
and thanks for the into, diane! Fascinating!
Sue! What a cool icon picture.
*info
thx, molly! I've decided I'm going to put up the Astronomy Picture of the Day, with its explanation. I'm supposed to teach a junior-level astronomy course this fall (something I haven't taught before) so it's practice, in a way.
aack, have to go - phone call pulls me away to something else.. bye Babblers, see you next time!
bye, aloy!
Cool. I love astronomy.
me too. I've taught our freshman course, and love it, but the junior course will be more challenging.
.. and thanks, diane! poof
anyone like a clue before I head out?
fo 8/70 please?
luv, fo 8 is a compound word...to have a premonition
funny way of expressing it
thanks Annie, I'll think on that a while
thanks, got it
great
never heard that one beofre
neither had I, got it from a clue
that's babble and enable for you
I think it was Molly who clued that one
I don't see it
f4 and f4....hi ruru
oh no wonder
It's a tricky word.
I was going up..
So was I, for a long time.
Oh, and good morning Pokey. : P
thank you.> I did n't see it last night.
gm molly
Im on my way, bye dear babblers
is fo8 wht teenage boys try?
bye Annie
I'm not sure how you do that ahead of time Ru, but okay.
morning, ruru and luv!
Maybe it's the planning to f4. Yeah, that's it.
morning uu
If uu married ruru she would be Mrs. uu ruru. : P
wouldn't it be uuru?

15 to go but just not seeing them, perhaps after breakfast
and now I am in my office! Things got pretty quiet after I left :-)

Good morning, all. Rain coming down in buckets here.
ah, thanks, Molly!
Hey Judi
Single Ding for Molly because there is only one f in Zac's name.
How fun is it that the te5 and the te6 are homonyms?
Like I watched High School Musical. : P
Hello again! Boys' room looks fabulous!
*goes off to google homonym*
Molly, would you do better with the author and director Nora ******?
A lot of proper names in the grid today.
Yes indeed Wht.
Car, how long does it take them to mess it up again?
I will let you know. Dylan is up there with Maxine right now. Zack & Jack won't be home until later.
I give it an hour with the two 6 YOs.
Clue for fe6?
fe + Little House On The Pra****
TY Molly!
Good lord. They are already rearranging the books on the shelves.
?? Why ??
Some of the books on the top shelf aren't "chapter books" so they want to move those and put just chapter books on the top shelf. They can't even F-ing read yet!!!!
I have to start my work in a few minutes and I really don't have time to guard the bookshelf today. Grrrr.
Are the books supposed to stay in some sort of order?
ack - just monkeyed li6/27, and I'm actually disappointed that's it's a word
i have diffused the situation. The books remain where they are.
There are a lot of weirdo words like that in this grid.
you go car
The books don't have to stay in order. Just on shelves after they are done with them.
me too Harry
bottom n is keeping me from nbt
Tune in next week, when we bring you the royal rumble: Conan the Barbarian vs. Car.ee the Librarian!

OK...off to work for me. Will check back in a bit. Have a good day all!
add a vowel for the 6
morning all
ty hoot - sounds like an italian pastry
that's the ne6
Ty hoot! And good bye!
think it's a perfume additive
yw
like patchouli :)
woo halfway!
so how would I say one who rows people across the river, if not ferrier?
lunch
hi all
boatman?
only if there are hungry giants on the other side!
Ferryman.
Haz beat me to it.
sorry i typed in lunch before i saw the question
ferryman is sexist
Great...now Ferry Cross The Mersey is blaring in my head.
but then so is boatman
and that other one...don't pay the ferryman....ugh
i can make it go away molly but you would not thank me
It's not for me, it's ferrier. And yer and yer and yer.
more outhouse is a word????
fe 6/27 ???
fe6/27 - fe plus a flower that's also a part of the eye, but don't end in s, end in a vowel instead.
ty haz
latriner? toileter? not finding more outhouse
thanks haz
You're welcome.
pr7
and hi all, am on a conference call but babbling anyway
ah, thx, jmc!!
ty jmc
wtg uu!
uu that pic makes me want to move north
yy jmc!
ty!
I think of that word as more in on, but lame still.
isn't it gorgeous, harry? I've seen the northern lights once or twice here in IL but they are rare.
I was thinking that too, molly
i thought of that molly but honestly that doesn't really work grammatically
I've never seen them...been to AK and northern Canada, but not at the right times
Well neither does more outhouse. : P
if you are so snotty as to use the base word to mean more in the know you would know that the proper conjugation would be to put more in front
on the other hand more outhouselike is funnier
sorry i meant snooty not snotty but both work! lol
and since when does enable use proper syntax???
and to think spherile is not a word, and that is.
pretty much never hoot
Are there rednecks in the UK? See that would explain it. Jethro was privier to Junior's secrets than Otis.
right!
Or...my outhouse is privier than yers.
*looks aghast at molly while opening the pb door for her*
MOLLY!!!!!
*Thumbs nose at Enable while going to the PB*
I think the maker of enable picked only push-button words and ancient verbiage. I date it to the mid-fifties
fight the power, molly
*Opens a beer in the PB and puts feet up on the ottoman. This grid is full of gibberish*
I need food! bbl
lol like you don't speak fluent gibberish!
does seem like ivier ought to be a word (my alma mater is ivier than yours...)

I know, but I'm not "A WORD" --as usuual. ;-)
All vowels are Italian, I thought.
you're too short, nef :-)
no they are all latin!
well, but there are word-ending vowels that are characteristic of Italian that do not appear at the ends of words in many other languages
*looks for platform sh**s for nef*
even if I was longer, I'm still not a word
never heard of "Italian" vowels in all my 70 years!
right jmc!

I was always 5'4 1/2" but have lost 1/2 inch somewhere recently. Have you seen it?
who me? No - Brooklyn & Long Island
i doubt the machine was made to reach boobs that low
I certainly don't have it, nef, but I have acquired a few pounds that someone else seems to have lost
I have lost 3/4th of an inch!
*sweeps up chog floor looking for nef's 1/2 inch*
and a neopolitan/sicilian cross. Can't just much more Italian than that
I know the vowel I would refer to as Italian. It ends a dessert, a deli meat and several kinds of pasta

*Opens another beer in the PB and continues to thumb nose at Enable*
no - just seems unnessesary
I would love to stay and chat- but the whole day will be sucked away.
what? what did you say molly?
a non-existant label
Phantom effrontery!
jmc, you're publishing a book? Is it poetry, stories, or non-fiction?
and there is a problem with that kap? *confused*
don't like any labels
Jmc is publishing Greatest Hits of Chog.
it is essays mainly about war and justice
darn kap i was holding that announcement back!
War- bad. Justice- good.
If only people could remember that simple formula.
pretty much kap -- i usually say war bad peace good
War lock, piece goods?
i sad it so much one of my supports made bumper stickers that said that
peace-work!
nbt!
must go pretend to work especially since my successor is here today
bbl
JMC, I am sure anything you write will be awesome. Most people who speak as well as you do in public, are very good writers as well. Good for you.
It does take a lot of work to have a peaceful world, doesn't it? But it seem as thought one hot head can cause a war.... :-(
bye, jmc, and yay for the nbt!
*passes out order forms*

and now for crossy,s mid day tidbit of the day in honor of those sleepy west coasters:)...
Albert Einstein never learned how to drive a car.
he did ride a bicycle, though :-)
he did indeed
but that sort of thing is common with geniuses like that, mrs edison said that "my tom would of starved to death between the light bulb and the phonograph if i had not delivered a repast to his work station and placed his nose in it
does anyone have the stats for the lower n?
I was telling Dorens yesterday that she should take her field trip kids to the Einstein memorial in DC. Sue you would love it. And it's cool to walk around a place that Einstein walked.

Hi Ruby
ty Molly
ty Molly
I've actually been there, Molly, and it is indeed cool.
that whole little area is lovely, Molly--you're absolutely right--I love that Einstein statue and then the gardens and sculpture around the OAS
I lived in Princeton for a year and knew Einstein's secretary who loved my boy and used to take us to her pool club because it was so hot. The great man was long dead by then, of course.
Hi ruby
{{bichon}}
very cool, ruby!
she was an old lady by then and now, I am, and can't remember her name.....aaarghhh
that was quite a year, '68-'69
It's very pretty there Kate, I agree.
Ruby was it Helen Dukas?
that's the year I graduated college, '68
When I lived inWashington, I used to take my dog on Sundays mornings to to play in the oas gardens--always so quiet and deserted on an early sunday and so lovely
bless you, I just couldn't bring her name back.....
and she loved my little boy
peir
first sh 5, please?
That is so cool that you knew her Ruby. She was his housekeeper too. I imagine she had some stories to tell.
whoops
my first husband spent a year at the Inst. for Advanced Study and I learned to do double crosstics by going through the stacks and finding all of Helen Dukas' unfinished ones in the old Saturday Reviews
nm -- found it
it was the year my marriage was breakingup and husband went off to D>C> to the Folger for the summer, and my boy and I stayed behind in Princeton
it was the 2nd great summer of my life!
*!* ta da *!*
yay nan!
!!!! Nan!!!!!
Great memories Ruby.
yes, I am fortunate
yay, nan!!!!!!!!!!
is "ferrier" not a word? one who runs a ferry?
Oh Eva, we had this discussion earlier. Apparently a ferryman runs a ferry. Sexism persists.
or makes coats out of ferrets
eeew
hrm. i knew ferryman, but i thought ferrier was a word too. alas...
you must be thinking of farrier
a second ph4/6 has been added to the physics babblets...
ty sue, figured it out, remembered you list of babblets, sort of
A farrier is a person who shoes horses.
doesn't look like any of you need clues, so I will be on my way -- back at the flip :)
bye nan
according to some of the other manufactured words and tortured english that enable produces, ferrier, meaning one who ferries should be there too!
maybe thats what im thinking of... thanks ruby + bzz
They probably prefer to be called ferry captains. *Ferry Cross The Mersey drones on in my head*
74 words and I've hit a tall wall. Good night, everybody
thank yu for that earworm, molly
night, ruby!
good night ruby -- I'm off also *poof*
Consider it a lullaby Ruby. : P
I am in kind of a state as my sweet Ruby is having surgery tomorrow morning for a little tumor in her ear. I am going crazy
Aw! Bless Ruby, I hope all goes well.
oh, good luck to her!!!
it is making me sick to my stomach with worry. It's bad to be so attached :(
let's just hope it's benign; the vet thought so when he looked at it
We now switch the song playing at radio station WMOLLY to "Ruby, Don't Take Your Love To Town" in honor of the dog of the day.
or we could hum Monk's "Ruby, my dear"

hi all, and nbt woot
i know,i know..do not applaud just throw money:)
howdy gwen
(tossing a canadian nickel at crossy)
yes not that american stuff..i would lose money in the exchange:)
hope that won't last long!
as a side note,for the first time ever i have stopped taking american funds at the service station
hi all

howdy peri
hello again, back for a few minutes

howdy flosey
hi crossy
stores in detroit area always used to take canadian coins, until the exchange rate got too large, but then, when it got back to being more or less equal, most of them still won't take 'em
does anyone have a clue for pr7 please?
hi, crossy, I never did understand why some Americans seem to think that dollars ought to be legal currency worldwide.
banks will take one canadian coin in a roll, but no more than that
Hi, anyone got the FE6, please. Any clues?
lol, flosey, we had a big exchange about the pr7 a while ago. jmc called it more outhouse :-)
oh, thanks sue, should be able to get something out of that
was not too long ago when we used to get the U.S skiiers in the tour buses and the rate was just over 40% to the good of the green backs.we would fill up those big tanks with diesel, and i would pay 20% premium.that would go in the bus drivers pocket and the other 20% was mine lol
good clue, ty to jmc!
that did it, thanks sue
and jmc
the fe6 is weird but I just noticed that its last 5 letters (leaving off the f) are a palindrome
great pr clu tyvm!
I think the fo 8 is weird -- madame, before I purchase your services, may I have a fo8?
got it, ty for the palindrome clue, sue!
lol, kate, that was kind of how it appeared to me too :-)
yw, gwen, had no idea if that would be in the least bit helpful
as soon as i stopped trying to use an L it worked
another scots word apparently
Hello again.
hi, nef!
hi Nef
Not one that I know, but hey. tyvm

Flosey, just read your profile. Today is Jilli's b'day?
Oh, dear I must have missed her again. I keep trying to chat in the wrong box again today!
I believe it is her birthday, nef (sorry, stepped away for a bit)
thanks, sue
how's things with your family?
I keep trying to figure out which word in this grid is the weirdest. There are so damn many today.
ep6? ephron the hittite isn't working
they're all good, as far as I know, nef
talked to my dad a couple of days ago and he is fine
Is your Dad going to pay for the car registration and license for your step mother?
I'm glad to hear he's doing okay. He's very spunky!
don't know, nef, at this point I am staying out of it.
his boyhood best friend is going to be visiting him next week - they've known each other for 83 years!!
Great Sue!
Harry, ep+a type of brass musical instrument - last letter + vowel
or add a vowel toothe ep 5/14
that was "to the"
ty nef - I guess I should have tried adding that vowel :)
3 to go
Go, go, Harry!
last word...vi6 - is it related to vi5?
the vi6 I have means very manly
ty!!

Sue that is very cool about your Dad's friend. Not many people stay in touch that long.
I am jealous of him, molly :-)
my best friend and I have known each ot5/12 for 50 years and we live just 2 miles apart. She's a nursing educator; so we talk on the ph5/14 often, but not as much as we'd like too
I used to have a neighbor who still kept in touch with someone she was friends with at age 4.
That's cool Nef. I am in awe of lifetime friendships like that.
very cool, nef!
We met when I was showing her where her cows were to be in the 4-H barn. My Aunt was on the Fair Board and the 6 of us kids worked for free for the Fair each year. My friend and were 13 at the time
Sue, major House news. Lisa Edelsten is not returning next year.
huh, so no Cuddy/House interactions any more?
No, and with it being so late in the season, I'm not sure they can write her out properly.
interesting! next week is the season finale; they had sneak previews at last night's show and she didn't look like she wasn't going to be there.
although I suppose people can always die suddenly...
If you think about it, her character has run it's course. She got her baby, she had her time with House, there is nothing left hanging.
true, although one can always hope that they will get back together, that was getting a little old
I thought the episode when she got the bladder cancer was epic. Cuddy finally got that House would never choose her over drugs.
I think I missed the beginning of that one.
What she said to him, at the end of that episode, was the classic light bulb statement from someone who has loved an addict and decided to be disappointed for the last time.
that, I think I remember. I never really understood what she saw in him anyway, unless it was the rescue-the-bad-boy thing.
Well, remember that she fell for him before he became an addict. They just never addressed their feelings for each other.
True.
So what's happening here folks?
My husand's Millionaire airing was today

hello evvybody
lil*monkey in da house
hi, lil!
hi uusue
how is your dad doing
he's doing great, lil! thanks for asking! His best friend from childhood is going to be visiting him next week - they've known each ot*** for 83 years!!
cool! and thanks for the ot5, heheh... I just started
yw :-)
the chog is quiet today!
Hi again. I wandered off a while ago; back for a bit
nefertiti!
hi lil8! How are you today?
fine thanks :)
DH has the Cooking Channel on; some woman has boiled quail eggs on there. Why would someone want such tiny eggs?
nef do you have the ep5/6 combo ???
yep. You need it? ;-)
never mind, just found em on my own
i did not know quail eggs were tiny
ep5= ep + brass instrument - last letter
i was pictureing giant dinosaur eggs, ahha
ep6= same as above, just add a vowell
lil*! When you ask for words; don't find them first! :-)
sorry!
no, quail eggs looked like they couldn't be much bigger than the end of your thumb
have u ever tasted them?
I thought I had such a great clue; you know it's rare when I actually DO have a ggod clue
quail are about the size of pigeons
and their eggs are tiny, sue.
I know although I can't remember if I've ever eaten them (I have eaten quail)
OK need a clue for fo6
nope, I've never had a quail egg. I figure all eggs must taste alike. What do you think?
sorry, lil* I don't have it yet (but am looking
fo8...compound word f4 + f4
I suspect they do, nef
OK got it, thanks molly & sue
opp i mean just MOLLY
that's ok, lil, I was looking for an fo6 which I don't have
ha! I mistyped that... there is no fo6
I will stop looking, then :-)
no wonder I'm not finding it!
(I came up with some good non words though!) ;-)
Sorry, I shouldn't clue while I'm watching something in another window. Attention deficit.
But since there is no fo6, I don't feel that bad.
evenin all - been lurking - been to the gym and needed to concentrate in case i went to sleep doing the grid
hi, kazz!

yes great series btwn Sharks & Red Wings... many of the games wnt to overtime
now I will root against the SHarks and I hope they get slaughtered by the Canucks
it's a weird one to clue Glan....sort of a twisted spelling of the other spelling of that little sprite with wings
ty diane - got it - and never would have found it alone
fe + the **S ( tax dept. ) and latin abbr. meaning "that is"
thanks for that fe6
welcome :-)
AAAAAAaaaaaaaargh! PH words!

hi, jmc!
i was just looking at the courses of the masters program
but then i saw a possible job . . . i would rather work
hi jmc
lol, jmc, didn't you just give up a job to study?
i have to go back next week and take another placement exam ugh because i was one point short from honors placement and i wanna take it again
no i just gave up a job because i was done
go, cos! You can do it!
i was signing up to study because i hadn't found another job
wow, done! what a concept...
go cosd go!
thanks :) they require a one week waiting period between placement exams *sigh*
so you can study?
does the job sound like something you'd enjoy, jmc?
yes although i would not be the boss
probably.. so i checked out tons of books to study from
does being boss matter if it's something you like?
:-) been the boss for 30 years--not sure i can adjust
LOL! Okay, that would be a big change
does the fe6 build off the fe4?
no cosd
didnt think so.. thanks
think tinkerbell
no cos... it is sort of like a sprite but diff spelling
i once managed a man who'd been a headteacher for 30 years - and i was half his age - it worked out well because he was willing to be managed and i supported him well in his new role
thanks got it

thanks!
All kinds of fondling in this grid. Preparatory and the once again type. : D
i like to fo8 and re6 :P
indeed :-)
Touchie f4ie Cos. : )
ahaha that too
Oh Sue too. Wow, you can tell it's the "fertility rite" time of year.
im getting my new dog's naughty area cut off thurs :(
new dog?
we decided to adopt the dog we're fostering.
always the danger in fostering lol.one ends up with 10 cats and 12 dogs:/
Good for you! details?
Poor dog. Buy him something nice as a consolation prize.
hes a 1 year old full breed chihauhua .. brown.. he was on the kill list the day the foster people took him out
*Wonders what one buys an emasculated dog*
way too affectionate.. he loves to curl up next to me, paco, and the cats
cute Cos
lol true cross, we decided no more fostering unfortuantely. we have 2 cats and 2 dogs now in a tiny apartment.
should be obvious Molly
Nuts?
lol molly
i told ryan he's gonna have to be the one to apply the salve :P
i dont molest dogs.
2 cats and one dog here but the dog is quite large, and the cats hate each other and the dog.
Oh man, you can't use cotton swabs for something like that? : O
my cats hate each other and the dogs.. its funny when the dogs try to curl up with shady while shadys asleep and later when shady wakes up she freaks out and slaps them silly
oh good idea molly
might not want little cotton shreds getting in the incision, molly
ah excellent argument sue.. thanks
*Chalks up yet another reason it's good not to have pets*
oh, well, they really are a lot of fun. the cats are just a hoot, and the unconditional enthusiasm we get from the dog is hard to resist :-)
I have a mental image of the cat slapping the dog silly.
agreed sue. but one of our cats is a cuddler... and a purrer 24/7
sounds hilarious
next time it happens ill try to take a video and post it for you all to se
woke up this morning to our black kitty,a 2 year old male grooming my beard..
its so strange my cats will meow at ryan for attention but with me they paw me. its like they know.
oh, both our cats are cuddlers (one more than the other) although one is a bit psycho
interesting, cos! animals are actually pretty smart.
one of them is FAT. and he likes to sleep on top of me and its so heavy but i cant make him get off because all he wants to be is loved.
and speaking of psycho, turns out my son's psycho sometimes-girlfriend smashed his glasses (which are not cheap). Grrrr.
my dog will lay down by my hubby until I come home. Then she ignores him and won't leave my side.
she can pay for a new pair then
ughh thats awful.. she needs to control her temper
sounds exactly like one of mine, cos, very fat cuddly cat.
sounds like my mom's dog, doxy.
he better watch long and hard before he slips a ring on her finger then...
the purring annoys me because i feel like im sitting on a washing machine.
she should but it's not going to happen (pay for a new pair that is) unless we take her to court or something which is not worth it.
he keeps breaking up with her but then she bombs him with phone calls and texts until he goes back :-(
right sue. or take her to judge judy! :)
there you go, cos :-)
tell him to change his number or have the company block hers?
he can block her calls but not her texts, it turns out. also she lives about 1/2 block away so hard to avoid her :-(
Oh Sue, that is too bad. Nothing good can come from a relationship like that.
ahh.. yeah that would be a problem then :(
been going on for almost 4 years now. very stressful both for him and for me.
i hope she moves way soon or something
me too, she almost did earlier this year but then didn't (actually it was her mom that was going to move, she's 19 and my son is 21)
ah.. 19.... no wonder.
and has serious problems with drugs and alcohol. not a good combination.
oh dear. i hope ur sonw will be ok.
Okay, that explains the irrational behavior. Poor Sue's Son.
ugh finally foind my last to5/10... dang doublevowel ending
I hope he can find a way to wean her off him..
he's become considerably more detached; he used to be just destroyed when she pulled these stunts but now he mostly just rolls his eyes. so i have hope :-)
I don't believe there is a way to wean people like that. You either cut the cord or they stick to you like a barnacle.
good.. hes getting tired...
one left.. and its a v5 ugh
AIf he is detached emotionally she will pick up on that eventually
you want a clue cos?
oooh ABC just picked up a show that looks good...
yes please wild
vi + *** speedwagon
thanks wild.. fireworks
yw and woohoo!!
Congrats Cos!
Sue, I wish you son the best. It is very hard to care for someone with problems like that. And it's real easy to become "the fixer", when they need to "fix" themselves.
wtg cos
!!!!! Cos !!!!!
thx, molly, I keep thinking it's over and then it isn't (maybe we can write her out of the script like on House :-)
and yay, cos!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
so what's this good show on ABC, cos?
"once upon a time"....
its a drama about a woman who finds out she's snow white's lost daughter hidden on earth away from the evil queen and the queen is hellbent on fidning her
lol! could be cute...
wait, snow white has a daughter??
and nbc has a fairy tale drama as well "Grimm" about a cop who solves crimes in fairyt ale land
there was a made for tv movie called "the tenth kingdom" back in 2000 where snow white's grandson is runningt he kingdom.. so i guess she does :P
reminds me somehow of Fish Police (which didn't last long)
I really liked "Tenth Kingdom". Even bought the book
i cant find the book anywhere doxy! UGH
i watch the 10th kingdom all the time.. dianne weist was awesome in it
sue, do you remember the comedy sitcom "The Charmings"? didnt last long either lol
cos, try amazon.com. they sometimes have books that have been off the shelves for awhile
i did.. out of print it says. ill check again.
don't remember that one, no
have you tried Barnes and Noble
hi all. neither of those new shows sound interesting to me.
aboout snow white, prince charming and their children waking up in 1980's America after being put to sleep by the evil queen but now they all live together lol
hi peri
hm ill check thanks doxy
or powellsbooks.com?
hi Pe**
never heard of that sue. thanks.. peri, i'm a fairy tale buff sooo :P
:)
hey lyn, I beat Jacula in a game of scramble by 10 points!!
I AM impressed!
I like fairy tales also. Sounds good to me
im still p'offed about them cancelling V.

That's me done...Bye all. A lovely blue sky out there for a change

Hooray for doxy!
wonderful, jilli!
saan, it's good to see that elusive sun, isn't it!
have to go fix dinner. Have a great evening all.
Sue...: )...maybe we can write her out of the script...Stephen King wrote a short story called "Word Processor Of The Gods" where the delete button on the computer would actually delete what you wanted out of your life.
bye doxy
lol, molly, i would like that :-)
Jilli, all I can do is think, "aaaaahhhhh, at laaaaast"
Oh, and the enter button would add what you wanted. Can you imagine?
Of course it all went terribly bad because mortals can't handle that kind of power.
while I bask
If you get a busy signal, don't you rephone?
(I am off driving some customer service person nuts because my printer isn't working) F*** sorry for the poor guy!
nef..i have something for you....

So whenever you guys call out to periwinkle by the nickname, shouldn't you be off to the pb?
eyes of the dragon is also an exemption
hi rasta -- we make exceptions for dart and pe4
which rule, the stephen king rule?
lol, PB rule for dart and peri
sorry, i meant to ask molly what she meant about the shawshank redemption. chog is getting away from me :-)
mm nm bad things happen in that one too...
actually in shawshank as well the bad death of edward dellacroux
Dellacroix died in The Green Mile.
Hello...
Yeah, Sue, I meant the bad things usually happen in Stephen King stories room.
Room??? Rule.
ok, i am fading, off to watch tv and rot my brain. see you all tomorrow!!
i stand corrected
thanks, crossy for the link. That poor customer service tech had to take a break while dealing with me; I think he went and pounded his head against the wall for a bit (or took some tylenol or booze) to finish the chat
HAPPY BIRTHDAY JILLIBUS!!!
lool nef

hi nef! how's DH doing?
hi shoo
s
shoo's been posting 1 -2 letters off and on all day. Very odd (and not chatting)
i see one and 2 letter posting from other players as well..do not understand it myself
don't know how she manages that, she's using expert and for some reason when she enters a word, letters show up in the chat.
Ahh1 I was worried that either she wasn't well OR a cat was playing for her!
no cat, but her little dog might be trying to help.
no nef,i see it with other players
Dh decided to drive a mile to the grocery store this evening; I'm dealing with some GI upset and he is impatient
i wonder if she accidently rests her hand in the spacebar...then enters a letter unknowingly...
when i do chores with the wife,it revolves around stomach upset and pee breaks:)
oh dear, hope it's just an upset and not a bug, Nef. glad to hear DH feels strong enough to drive.
crossy, I've seen it with other players too; but never saw it with shoo before. I didn't know that Expert could do that
i'm not sure it's expert, but the user using expert. ;-)
His driving is making me nervous, though. He didn't drive for over 1 1/2 years; now suddenly wants to
i can't speak for what ot5 players are doing.
well, as long as he's confident and isn't using busy streets, he should be okay...shouldn't he?
fi
long break from driving
the road he takes is a main road, 40 mph limit. It's actually the only way to get there
must get going, NCIS is on in a few, gonna sit and watch it with hubz.
hellp with re words pls. have the first one and last two
i think your nervousness is well founded then Nef. hope he makes it home soon.
re 6.27 umpire + snakey fish.
ty lbd
ty lbd

lol,crossy is a taurus,so i procrastinate till i make my mind up,then it has to be done yesterday lol
help with re7's pls
Aw, crossy! I am too; but I'm not that impatient
i hate shopping so want to get the list,get in,get out, and get done
i lov to grocery shop..
i do not like to make a day out or a hobby of shopping..:(
re5/16 pls
same here; but DH can spend 2 hours grocery shopping. If I go with him, I'm reading a label and suddenly he's 5 aisles away -with the cart!
3 words left and can't see them
re5/16 is umpire + chicago train
i eat before i shop,get exactly what is on the list and nothing more..drives my wife nuts

shooshoo is a blast, dropping letters in here!
happy b-day jilli!
thank you, crossy ;-)
lbd said that every time shoo enters a word in Expert it puts a letter in chat
the universe gave me a lovely present -- an unexpected warm, sunny day after months of wet drear.
it is still raINING HERE..5TH DAY
sorry caps
nef, that'sw weird!
crossy, we've had lots of that for months and months, with an occasional peek at the sun for a day.
r
we've had too much rain and cold and bad weather here too
ok, i think i've had it with this "effen" grid! :)
welki, go to morewords -- it can be a challenge too but with a good outcome eventually
oh, and hi everyone
I had problemsw with Expert on my new computer until the techie figured out that it was IE 9 causing them -- IE 8 is just fine.
just frustrated, jilli .. it'll pass :)
hi welki. I hope your frustration passes soon
hehehe, should be the most frustration i ever feel
i see you're in the grid, sweet nef
yeah, welki, but I'm still not A WORD.
would someone clue the fe 6?
welki, I can't be bothered being frustrated, which is why I go to morewords in extremis.
it's a weird way to spell sprite, ruru
Nef, that isn't any help for me......
hi gummi ruru -- fe 6 -- fe + a flower with spiky leaves but change the last letter from a cons to a vowel
(or fe + the part of your eye which surrounds the pupil with the last letter changed)
Oh! Great clue, jilli! And the flower is pretty too (hoping mine will bloom this year)
thks, nef!
f
crossy shudders at the thought of internet explorer
get firefox or even better google chrome
I use firefos, crossy, but Expert defaults to IE
*firefox
crossy runs expert on chrome...
crossy, what is wrong with IE ??
crossy, how do you get it to stop defaulting to IE?
re7.52?
try to give me something again ruru
I.E is a resouce hog and does not do prefetch datsa
data
google chrome is 100% faster
I don't know what that means, crossy
don't see it wild
re + of5
so
ps
remember everyone you can have multiple browsers and experiment
thanks wild
twisty little bugger
you can have I.E AND chrome AND firefix
t
firefox
yw
you can run firefox and google chrome and have 2 seperat accts in facebook and send yourself free game gifts
Hi crossy, How do configure expert to use the browser of your choice? I had figured that it was tied to IE and left it at that, although I much prefer Firefox.
it is not tied to I.E at all just choose firefox or google chrome as your default browser
i always run chrome
But firefox is my default browser but Expert still comes up in IE
strange
Or at least I thought Firefox was my default.
try google chrome,you will love it
2 left and I'm stumped. Clues please for re6/18 and re7/28.
of7?
one who of 5/22s (with a slightly strange ending)

c
so not getting the of7 ending
Sorry -- phone (from dear son)
wildcat, n**th, east, south, west

My default browser is firefox but Expert insists on IE. I had a look at Chrome and stayed with FF.
clue for the second fr5,16 please. I have the person who makes bacon for crossy and what is on top of a nice cup of capaccino.
each to their own jilli..goodnight all and happy babbling

I did ask how to make FF the default for Expert but didn't get an answer I could understand :-(

SO enable pulled out all stops on stupid?

That's what *I* think!

hi jes and hi again herin
you too nef
just scrolled down herin
when I put up the list I have to leave chat
playing musical chat
West
hey
Were did ou go
I'm not on FB anymore herin
went to finish had to get the list
need help with the third vi 4/7 please? thanks
Ok
now I have a purring kneading calico on my chest lol
Really west?
send me an email?
nm, I got it
you're too quick joey lol
sometimes i miss the obvious
some not so obvious words in this grid
so herin did you get that game?
i know that i have asked this question before, but please help. I am trying to introduce an 11 week old kitten to a 2 plus year old cat who has been queen of the roost for 2 years. so far, the older cat is just not quite accepting. what can I do?
yes i did
is the new kitten from under the bush?
yup
maybe house cat knows it's feral?
last one - all the others have been adopted
west, does that matter? being feral versus being house?
Is the kitten being feral?
I don't know but friends of ours have had barn cats for 8 years and they still won't be held
herin, I don't understand. she has been in the house - she has been living on my porch
I wonder if she still has the scent of the mother
could be. mom is also living on the porch
they have their own rules
we adopted our daughter's cat in Jan and she won't leave the bedroom..won't let our other 2 in there either
new cat is female and the others are one of each..all fixed though
west, now I don't feel so bad - maybe any behavior is acceptable as long as they don't kill each other
we're getting ready to go to the summer house and it's much smaller so Lucy may have to adjust
lots more room outside to roam though
The kitten can you hold it and cuddle it and stuff?
my house cat has not been outside since I got her. It almost seems as if she is afraid
herin, yes, I can hold her and cuddle her with no problem
herin how did Pandora and Lucius? get along when you first got him?
Pandora wanted him dead
But she hates everyone just about. She tollerates him now
they like being the only cat
both our other cats were strays and KC ( male) brought Ruby home
Pandora was neglected so it is understandable
so being an only cat is the way they want to go? what if I want two?
too bad we can't read their minds
what did you name the kitten?
No you can have two. The other cat just has to learn she/he is still special.
I would love to know what they are thinking.
Have seperat litter boxes and times for cuddles and different toys and such
I know herin Pandora had such a bad start she's lucky you found her
I named her Gracie - after my mom - kind of. Her name was Grace - she hated Gracie, so I am sure she is doing pinwheels in her grave!
there was a woman on Tangle who had a male cat named Gracie..she couldn't come up with a name so the vet said Gray C (for cat ) lol
that's funny, west.
I love the name Grace
it is an "old" name. wait until you hear this and think hard about what I am saying - her married name was Grace Klutz
quite the oxymoron lol
very much so - glad you got it
well I think I'd better try to clean up the kitchen before the flip..do you need any help first?
I am fine
I need to go andget dinner started
I'm off for a bit then ((hugs))
ok, I am trying again - how about the sh 6/39, please?
I don't know sorry
got it, it ends with the opposite of on
Ok I must be off for a while
how about the re 6/18. please? thanks
nm, i really ought to think before I write
