NBT/NBS

sorry une! foxtel are not giving it to us live.
we have to wait a day to see it
the semis and finals are a day behind for us
:-D
f^$%#@'s !! just plain stupid to not show it live
who is in the women's final??
I know Li got in somewhere
I pay $5 a month for the Tennis Channel
if we had a tennis channel, I would pay for it!
Li v Schiavone
ah!! that will be good
is schiavone french?
it's WELL worth $5 a month to see all the majors live!!
they don't give us that option... should have a good complain about it to foxbox!
mrp, here's your quote of the day from McEnroe: "Windy day on court . . . lots of air under Nadal's balls"
LOLOLOL
bbs, have to get rid of 1 of 6 kids here...

Hi Melon
No kidding Une !
Hi, looks like a fun night.
btw, what does NBS stand for in babbledom?
hi and nbt
hey josh
not sure, melon
hello all - i think nbs = no blank stats
jilli noted NBT and NBS, it's new to me, but I haven't been around so much since going back to work.
i think nbs means no blank stats, like you have at least one 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 letter words
hey ursh :-)
ursh, I was guessing something like that.
oohhhh
a new stat!
yep, that's nbs :-)

18!!! omg you are a darling baby!!
ain't I? I heard the wrinkles will go away as I get a little older....:)
happy birthday shdy - hmmmm 18 plus tax??
do you have about 22 years experience too??
well, ursh, depends on the tax, but looks like mrp might be the taxlady, and she cometh
didn't know that the states had gone to 100% tax!
I am 29 with 13 years experience!!
ty, nan, ty
uh.. shady.. I think you might be a bit older than that
but ruuster, she just decided she was an adult!!
<---all for experience
oh.. well..then...
than WHAT ruru, for goodness sake, I'm a mathematician, I know what 18 + 2 is!!!!
my children tell everyone I am 29... no matter who asks!! LOL!!
smart kids, they eat well, huh?
that is because I had my babies at 29
er.. well mr p.. you always look a year younger than you say your are to me :D

my vet told me today that my bear (the brown one) is about 84 and we're lucky he's not a spirit!
like that jilli - then next year will be my sweet sixteen and must tell my Mom she is just about to turn 19
oh no! This is why I do not chat! But what I started to say was that my husband uses something other than base ten, so he is a lot younger that way.

just added a new bristled-nose cat fish to the tank... and a nice plant attached to some driftwood. the fish is loving it!!
I loved having aquariums as a kid
my kids love having aquariums!!
we need a name for the fish... anyone have some ideas??
I had a salt water.. a brackish water one and a fresh one
hunter.. call him hunter
that is major tankage ruuster!
hunter it is
Catfish Hunter was a famous baseball player
we have bloop, gramma, and hunter now
bloop is about 8 now
unless your catfish is a female fish
gramma is 4
then you'd have to call her dixie
bristlin' dixie
hunter is good for both male/female
<-- great a pet names

thought i was goiong nu4
oh derr thnx for the nu4
and how are things in your neck of the woods? turning very cold and windy here.
have had a fair bit of rain, but the past few days have been dry but cold, cold and cold lol
and global warming is affecting us how????
global warming?...lol
those scientists want to come and live in the real world....
not to mention the pollies who listen to them...for goodness sake, and a carbon tax to boot....
there's a volcano somewhere( i forget where) which is erupting more carbons into the atmosphere every day, than the whole world produces in a year.
ok, ok, off my soapbox....can i help with any clues?
in the northern areas(like us are where we see the global warming granny rose,our winters are warmer,winter itself ends much earlier than i have ever seen.i remember many days of minus 30 to minus 40 degrees in my childhood but we hardly ever get below minus 20 in the last ten years
crossy, it's a well-documented cycle which the earth goes thru.
well,it has never cycled like this in my memory.traditionally ice locked areas are now open for the first time ever,ice caps are smaller by 50% and i can go on
thi is not a product of carbon produced by humans, it's just nature following a cycle already in place
last year we had 20 celcius in april!!! we have never ever had 20c in april...ever
but think what you will
i could put my hubby on here, he is well read in the matter...but that could be quite tedious.
i do not need tedium at 4 am..i will pass
s'okay crossy, each to his own....i certainly do not disrespect your opinion
np granny vive la differance
oh, ye4....if we can't agree to disagree, we would probably have anarchy. LOL
down under it is hard to notice global warming when you never really get winter anyways lol..but lets move on..i should be working this monster grid
happy babbling, crossy. it's a great grid
good,i do not need any grid with sharp teeth today
btw, how's mrs crossy? don't think i have seen her lately.
she is fine granny,her eyes give her problems but she gets on when she can
go, girl, go...what a woman!!!!
okley, dokley...can i help anyone?
good morning.
hey ruby
hello grannyrose! is crossy still here and what is he doing awake at this hour? Bad boy!
hello friends. I am awake at this hour as well, but not happy about it!
ruby, how is your husband today? and lasting effects from the fall?
lol, i think i woke him up with my opinions on global warming...
i am here ruby,my sleep apnea is giving me grief tonight
trif....hello
hello granny
oh, crossy, no CPAP????
looove my CPAP. hubby says it's quieter than i am..LOL
he is doing a little better and since he is such a whiner, I made him take off the old bandages before I put on the new ones.
hello trif
you wouldn't believe the fuss he makes when I put Betadine on the wounds!
ruby, if they are regular adhesive type bandages, rubbing the strips with baby oil makes them come right off....hope that helps!
i can...that stuff stings like hell
ooooh - just found a VERY "red dwarf" word!
they are big patches imbues with antibiotics because the open places are so large. I disinfect with Betadine, then put on antibiotic cream, then the gauze antibiotic bandages, then gauze, then tae. If they get wet, they are easy to take off, but he still makes a terrible fuss, acts like I'm murdering him
okay, will leave you all to babble to you heart's content...very friendly grid, with a few unusual words
blessings, grannyrose
uh oh, the disinfectant should have put me in the PB! You are all too kind
it doesnt count, ruby
nite all, poof
our winters here are totally changed. We've been here 13 years and since the first couple, we have hardly had any snow. And we are in the mountains
I actually finished yesterda, but with help from sue and molly
wow, i suddenly have become very, very sleepy. yay! good night/day all!
good sleep, trif!!
reading back,my cpap and i fight each other.it dries my throat and nose and even now after 6 months is tough to get used to
and i did not know anyone still used betadine for anything other than washing floors..that stuff went out with the old red iodine...ouch
get the poor man some hydrogen peroxide ruby my dear
and the pharmacy can lead you to some great gauze pads called "adaptec" they are different sized gauze pad with the antibiotic already on them and they never stick to wounds
they come in foil pouches and you cut them to the size you need
that's what his "dog nurse" used and I have 3 bottles in the house. These gauze pads are like that, he just likes to complain. One of the wounds is so bad, it needed stitches, but he refused to have a doctor come.....
I am really worn out! But this is a nice grid and I'll be back to work on it more after lunch
(maybe I'm being mean and passive-aggressive) :(
lol..perhaps
but he should get stiches if needed
he refuses any outside medical help
so if he likes open wpinds he will have to put up with them getting soaked with betadine lol
wounds
and there are bird seeds in the wounds, not all of which I could get out because of his flinching AND i was trying to be gentle
see if you can get any of the old fashioned red iodine..THAT will make him want to get them attended to
bird seed??!
he fell in the driveway where he feeds the birds sunflower seeds
well that definatly has to come out
I'd better go; he's calling me.....
get him drunk as a skunk and get the seed out;0
kk tc ruby
i do not know if anyone is in here but me,but i give you all a very early crosshairs tidbit of the day!!
this i a word that does not exist in the english language(but should!)....
L’esprit de escalier: (French) The feeling you get after leaving a conversation, when you think of all the things you should have said. Translated it means “the spirit of the staircase.â€

Profiteroles with cookies? Wow!
best cookie in the world
they are best as a straw for coffee
Mom, The are a good looking couple..I am so happy for you and them.
Thank you, Annie and thanks for the good thoughts.
and you ladies are in luck as i have a pair of crossys tidbits of the day to share with the morning crowd as crossy was up early...
who would have thunk it? Tim Tams were first put onto the market in 1964.[1] They were named by Ross Arnott, who attended the 1958 Kentucky Derby and decided that the name of the winning horse Tim Tam was perfect for a planned new line of biscuits.[2] The new biscuit was based on the existing British Penguin biscuit
oh do tell!
Many years ago, when I worked as a volunteer at a hospital, I got to know a little girl named Liz who was suffering from a rare and serious disease. Her only chance of recovery appeared to be a blood transfusion from her 5-year-old brother, who had miraculously survived the same disease and had developed the antibodies needed to combat the illness. The doctor explained the situation to her little brother, and asked the little boy if he would be willing to give his blood to his sister. I saw him hesitate for only a moment before taking a deep breath and saying, "Yes, I'll do it if it will save her." As the transfusion progressed, he lay in bed next to his sister and smiled, as we all did, seeing the color returning to her cheeks. Then his face grew pale and his smile faded. He looked up at the doctor and asked with a trembling voice, "Will I start to die right away?". Being young, the little boy had misunderstood the doctor; he thought he was going to have to give his sister all of his blood in order to save her.
I love your tidbits, Crossy
that is lovely, Crossy
and an important lesson for number 2....
http://www.stumbleupon.com/su/2idyRu/b log.jmlynch.org/2010/02/13/pale-blue-d ot/

The wedding was beautiful. Thanks
Cooking tour of Tuscany. Heaven!

It was great

later, lynxxx
bl
Bye Lynxxx
I live in Ocean twp. Near Long Branch
see? I must have Babble radar - just tuned in and you're talking about Tuscany! Hego, let us live vicariously, tell us more...
I posted a picture as my icon. I don't know if you can see it yet.
making pasta??
looks like fun
JBV I've been to Italy many times but this was the best. Did I mention the wine?
Yes making pasta.
do you go with a group or on your own?
nice part of the state, hego - we used to go to Asbury Park and Point Pleasant when I was a little kid
I went with 2 friends but we were part of a group of ten.
and it looks like you are having a fabulous time - I do see your photo!
wonderful!
I'm the one on the far left, btw

I mean MM
yavw.....
hi, kazz, jbv, movieman!
hiya sue
hi Sue tricky end to the grid today
Did a car boot sale this morning, got rid of some old junk and made over £100!!!!!
what's a car boot sale, mm? you sell stuff out of the trunk of your car?
thats really good = wish i could convice other half to do this
sounds interesting
Yep, unwanted stuff like DVDs and cds
yeah JBv you pay to have a space in some local car park or school yard and then you can set up a table and sell all your unwanted cruft
I've never heard of that, but it sounds like a great idea - and a lot easier than setting up for a garage/yard sale
It's pretty similar to a garage/yard sale
its also quite amazing what some folks will buy - my best find was a pice of Clarrise Cliff pottery
well, we have community sales like that, too, but it's usually a lot of work to set up -
Only you go to a designated area with lots of other folk who are also selling
I've heard of those, movieman, but I don't think they are common over here - sounds like a great idea, though!
Good morning all
morning Mr Bob
Hi Mr Bob
Morning Bobby!!!!!
hi, mr bob!
4 uns to find
i love the idea! yard sales are a ton of work here,would be great just to ram it all in the trunk of a car,put a folding card table and a lawn chair in the back seat and go parking with others doing the same
Hi Crossy!
howdy hego
It's great fun Crossy!!!!!
And it's a chance to make a few bucks too!!!!
i have a trunk full now as it so happens,been carrying it round for months lol
And get rid of junk!

http://www.bigskyastroclub.org/pale_bl ue_dot.htm
hi and happy Sunday.. I'm working my way through the grid.. bbs
howdy aloy
thx, crossy!
and i cannot remember who was asking me for this,but this is a collection of free to use text books for secondary and post secondary education
http://www.stumbleupon.com/su/1wcU96/w ww.fullbooks.com/
just copy and paste the text of the book you wish onto a flash key and you are good to go
I actually have the book (Sagan's The Pale Blue Dot), and met him once - NIU gave him an honorary degree. The sentiments he expressed (including the ones in the link you posted) were so controversial that he had to travel with a bodyguard.
controversial ??? what could anyone object to in what he wrote there?
Good morning to all I missed while switching computers!
wb car
hi, car!
crossy, he implies that our petty nationalistic and religious differences pale when you look at the earth from afar - a lot of people are apparently very threatened by that
The religious groups / leaders were very upset with Carl Sagan. He bordered on blasphemy in their bood.
*book
I've actually used his quote as an essay prompt for a final exam - most, but not all, students found it inspiring
The earth is a very small stage in a vast cosmic arena. Think of the rivers of blood spilled by all those generals and emperors so that in glory and in triumph they could become the momentary masters of a fraction of a dot. Think of the endless cruelties visited by the inhabitants of one corner of the dot on scarcely distinguishable inhabitants of some other corner of the dot. How frequent their misunderstandings, how eager they are to kill one another, how fervent their hatreds. Our posturings, our imagined self-importance, the delusion that we have some privileged position in the universe, are challenged by this point of pale light. Our planet is a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark. In our obscurity -- in all this vastness -- there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves. It is up to us. It's been said that astronomy is a humbling, and I might add, a character-building experience. To my mind, there is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world. To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly and compassionately with one another and to preserve and cherish that pale blue dot, the only home we've ever known.
Lovely!
and with that, I am off for my morning shower and breakfast - bbl!
why threatened,we are but a blink of an eye in the greater scheme of things,the cosomos will little note or long remember what we do here,as the japnese sy"we nd ll we do re but drem within a drem"
It's much better when you hear him say it in the introduction to his TW documentary ... COSMOS
personally i think the man is very wise
lol my keyboard is dying
I do too.
we as a race fluff ourselves up with too much importance..in 5 million years everything else will still be here,we may not.maybe someone else will come along and dig up portions of our lost and dead world..maybe not
the universe is a staggering thing,it goes on and on..perhaps if we go far enough we will come to a large white wall that spans as far as the eye can see..and if we break through,like a chick emerging from the egg what then?? worlds and worlds,galaxies that go on forever....lol crossy stole some of that
It is something to ponder...
we may be but a grain of sand on some galactic beach;)
I think we are...
I am missing 1 Y word...any idea which one?
Found it!
how many are there?
ye x 5
nm got them;0
back in a few,time to switch over to the tablet computer;))
See you then!
any clue for the an7 ?
wow! OUWACHITA!!!! (((hugs hugs))) Hey all.
is this grid worth starting? I only have about 30 minutes to play now, and then off for most of the day.
hiya stid...how are you?
I think it is a tough grid
first 200 are easy
I am good, Ouwachita, finished the official student teaching assignment, and the teacher invited me to keep teaching the coming week and then volunteer for one on one help with some kids for the last two weeks of the school year! (happy happy) AND my 6th grade friend wants me to come in afternoons to help her language arts kids, too!!! *huge-big mama smile*
how about yourself?
business has been very slow for the last couple of months...economy is killing me
so sorry to hear that.
hoping it will turn around soon...but not a lot of hope...i was working 7 days a week up until March, then it was like the phones were out of service...I kept picking it up to make sure I had a dial tone...lol
What type of business you operating?
real estate
not a good market yet, I am afraid. We would refinance (no intention of moving -- ever), but property values are so depressed that in pristine condition (it's not) our home is worth about half what we owe.
Hi Stid!
Hello Ouwachita!
Ugh..that has died inmany areasin the states..my brother just bought in las vegas..he says it is like a 2for one sale there
hey car! ((hugs))
I was asking after you the other day Stid! I have missed you!
I have missed you, too, car! ALL of the babblers! I will be babbling more often, now that I am done.
Oh good! I know how busy you were. I just wanted to make sure that you were OK.
Need to go make some pancakes for the kiddies....BRB
later car! have a lovely day
*waits for pancakes too*
Hello Babblers
SWMBO!!!! (((((many many hugs)))))
Pancakes?..mmmmm
pancakes? oooh.
Hugs to you! How are all in Babbleland? I am seldom able to participate in the chat although I Babble here and there
<---hugless from stid
Hugs ruru to make up for his hugless ness.
*thanks red*.. how's the hip coming along?
I think it is OK, about 5-6 more days of no weight bearing....which is the only thing driving me nuts.
ruru, I was on my way to hug you when red got there first. Just distracted by the French Open...
did it restart?
Nadal is killing it
ooooo... bbl.. need to watch this
rofl. see?
who is distraceted now? Ha!
So, lots of Europeans on this chat, no? why all the hugs and never a bisou? just curious. Hugs are great, but bisoux are too....
dunno, but currently most of us chatting are North Americans.
hey rasta - *offers choclits*
I love chocolate! And bisou to you, stidmama
merci, rasta!
any help...last one I need...an7 ?
cant seem to even monkeytype it
I don't have that one yet Ouwachita, sorry

Oh Yummmmm! I used to get macadamia nut pancakes with coconut syrup when I lived in Hawaii...O...M...G!!!!
He's truly one of the greatest atheletes I have ever seen ...amazing
:-D just watching him ...

Yes please Ruru!
Ruru, can you deliver?
<--- wants to travel to Hawaii for pancakes...
*gets started on a batch*
hi all, just bought some dark choclit at Trader Joes :)
Good morning Peri!
*waits on ruru's doorstep*
hey peri! which choclit? they have some "mini" candy bars I can eat that are nice and smooth, and one is enough so I don't overeat
3 in a pack, belgian choclit
Ooo, vanilla bean apple pancakes sounds delicious. Ever since I found the world's best pancake mix ingredient, Aunt Jemima is no longer welcome in my house. : )
they cost $1.79 here
mmmm. THOSE are excellent! (good choice)
anyone tried the m&m cocoanuts?or twix bar cocanut hmmm
hey ivesy!
*Pancake mix recipe*

I need the i please, for NBT and halfway? then I will get ready to head out, Mother and one stidkid and I are headed to Portland to see a cousin's artwork that one a prize in a local exhibition!!!!
i thought that was a name as well!
hello Norma.
in + the book was written ** H.G. Wells
it is also a genus of myrtle trees, apparently
it IS a name -- but a lot of names actually mean something, too! (not mine, apparently, but that's beside the point)
the other is in + opposite of hello
thanks car and sue!
Oh - the irritating genus category, where it takes all the genera I don't know, and rejects all the genera I do know...
past halfway, NBT and a lovely sunny day. AND I am actually awake... slept an extra ten hours yesterday. LOL grad school stress was the only thing keeping me going apparently!
know it well, stid!
rasta, are you saying that you are generally clueless?? *wicked mama look*
hi everyoe, clue pls for ae5, presum it has to start the same as the other two
I have nbt and nbs but am nowhere near half way
I should be working...I just don't want to.
or should I say genera-ly clueless??? rofl
ae + my computer is on my **sk
but I do have the ae5, it's the mosquito genus that appears frequently in the puzzle
lol points for that one
crap...I need to stop cluing...that should be ae + my computer is on my ***k
*grin* thanks for the fun, all! see you-all later! *POOF*
Have a great day STid!
Another genus - there we go. But will it take acer, the genus for maples?
thx vm
bye, stid! Have fun!!!!!!!!
bye stid see you later xx
Careful uusue! You are close to heading to the PB!
of course not, rasta :-P
and I am still trying to figure out what I said (one of the hazards of chatting with a big grid when you only have 1/4 of the words!)
the by 4 is very close!
ah - didn't have that one. Thx! :-)
Oooh and you too Norma!
(I checked, and genus is a phantom - all the letters are there, just not quite connected)
I never knew ta4/7 can be used as verb and put into pt....
I have a ta5/20 that is the pt of a ta4/8 plural - is that the one?
no - ta5/7 means forbidden...
ah - got three from that! Thx, rasta!
TY!

He cracks himself up. lol
well.. once you start crackin'...
there you go...
I must remember to ask UUSue if there really is such a thing as a su7/44. Sounds made up to me.
b ede
Opps, didn't mean to do that.
ZN
Hush! Inge's sleeping.
*sneaks in quiety*
good girl!
molly, I have a friend who is su7,44 of a chapter of the AGO.
HUH?
Hi hego!
Hi Mixi

bye Hego.

Hi peach
Thanks, mixi6. Still looking....
ty glantarell
au6 - starts like the month, ends in end
eu7 is a girls name
ty glantarell again
Need a nap....bbl. Thanks for the clues
I am inde4.
145 left! AUUUGH!
44 left for me Kap
Well- I wasn't here all day...
se5/18?
may i please have a clue for the un 8
I wasn't either Kap and there is no way I could finish a grid this big on a weekend day. I have way too much to do.
i got it down to 100 this morning, then have been working for about an hour to get to 43
se+battle
ty bookwomen, i need the one before that - i have that one and had forgotten there were 2
un 8 is what is not dispersed equally amongst the rest of the group.
there are a lot of similar sounding 5 letter words from the bottom left corner.
just change the last letter for the other
ty both, i have and have it now
Like undivided?
Oh.. I got it
?
sh7 & 8 are to do with sea songs - but that's not the way i have been used to spelling them
ty for the un 8.
Never heard of sh 7 and 8 being spelled that way. Again, Enable is just making up words as it goes along.
there are quite a few words in this grid spelt the usual way and also as a variant
You are talking as if Enable was a real little devious person.
Who do you think sits around at the wee hours of the night devising these grids with whacked out words?
you mean this is not a little man behind Enable?
I don't think we thank him enough, then.
a thankless job.
What else do you think would feverishly look up every bizarre word for foreign currency and then wave his magic word club so they will appear in these grids? He's a distant relative of Rumplestilskin.
Then he has to count all the possible words.
ast night he decided to see how many names he could insert into th
is grid
sometimes he gets feisty and puts in dirty words/
i have noticed
su7/44?
one is under college official and the other is under take care of
Good golly, Miss Molly.
underwater boat + love me ****er
50 left leaving for a break. ty for the clues
TY bookwomen - college official
first de 6/21 plz
I still don't have an upper left i.
de6/21 - change middle letter from 1st de6/27
upper left i is the same word with 2 spelling variants - down one, right one diagonally down, left one diagonally down
ty glant
that's no word!
apparently it's a word iof the grid accepts it
Technically only.
See. Now do you believe that Enable is an evil grid producing creature?
does the un8 follow form the un7?
no
ty - got it
te5/12?
ae6 please
te5/12 word is t + anagram of formal word for eating out Glantarell and hello there! How are U doing today?

We went to Shaftesbury (remnants of an abbey founded by King Alfred and destroyed bye Henry VIII - magnificent views from ramparts) and to Sherborne -- gorgeious abbey and castle that was owned bye Sir Walter Raleigh
super clues ( or as they would say here, "brilliant")

shaftesbury and sherborne are both lovely
have you seen thatched cottages yet nan? you're in the right part of the country

that and white horses!
they are pretty but if yu need to re-roof it costs a fortune
i love the white horses
are you going to stonehenge or avebury?
so I understand, but don't they last a very long time?
we took an inner circle tour of s
stone henge 2 years ago
they can last a very long time, but it's getting hrder and harder to get the thatching materials and also the people with the skills
went to avesbury 2 days go - very impressive
hi all
133 here
it's less famous that stonehenge but i think it's more interesting
left that is

I am thinking that is already june 6 where mrp is
ty sprite
yvw. I had to figure that out when babble became really international too.
hope all goes well for her
ty -- was blocked from adding anything for a bit
babble is temperamental when it is a big grid

Hello sprite!How are you doing?I've been lurking here.
two se5/18 are similar to two de5/20 just change the first letter.
am ok, just cannot sleep and have trouble relaxing. Some unpleasantness but nothing compared to mrP or pugmama. Very much enjoying being able to babble and chat. How are you, Minver?
is pugmama ill?
no, pugmama's daughter is missing. Pugmama is very worried.
Last I read from pugmama her daughter went missing
Oh, did not know. sorry to hear that
I had trouble sleeping with my allergies. Now I am on medicing so sleeping a lot better.Some nites I was up until 3:00 in the morning and getting up 2 hours later to goto work. I hope that you are feeling better soon
oh dear thats terrible molly
and sprite

I have not seen pugmama here in ages.How old is her daughter and how long has her daughter been missing
ar5/12 pls
i need a clue please for the de 6/30 that is right afterr the de 6/33.....
yes, so awful about pugmama's daughter. Daughter is in early twenties, if I remember correctly, but has a history of psychological problems. Pugmama feared she might be suicidal.

This grid is chock full of made up words.
lol nan
ty cos
never seen the sn 4/8 either
lol nan, it is a coin, but I like your def better. (an aluminum-copper coin and monetary unit of the Yemen Arab Republic, the 40th part of a riyal)
Of course it's a coin! I sw5/18 there is not one, bizarre, never heard of, currency word that does not show up in these grids.
totally true, Molly!
and, like the sn4/8, scottish words rule too. And that bu coin is not even current anymore either, grinnnn.
b's done but still 96 left
Enable sure needs to be updated
Beautiful periwinkle!
let's see... 185 words in, still 174 to go. But past halfway, which is encouraging.
nooooooo peri! I love enable the way it is. How would I have known about Ywis and such with a modern version?
the first su words all have the same first 3 letters fyi
well we are stuck with it such as it is
I know which 3 letters you mean, but I still have to make my first word with them.
bu6 the first?
shir- creepy little pests + ***me on you
A bu 6/36 word is insects plus half of a laugh Shirlockc
anyone have the su 5/14?
2nd su 7/44 plz

night, nan!
and hi again, all, back from shopping (at American Science and Surplus, what a fun store!) and hiking at the arboretum
hi uusue :)
1st su7?
hi shirl, I don't have a lot of words yet but if you scroll back in the chog there were a bunch of su words being clued
same first 3 letters.. .then mr. martin
(that was for shirl)
and presumably it's not Steve Martin...
frank sinatra's buddy maybe
or luther king...
ah, thx, cos!
Governor Howard ....
thx for the su clue
oku got it :)
thanks, got it :)
ts 5/16 -- weird word
sounds like a musical instrument, lol
reminiscent of a Japanese city I visited...
yes exactly! i was gonna say that lol
T's done!
yay, cos!
im working on all the tiles with most words... now onto the R's then the rest will be easy.. i hope... 117 left.
I'm not even half way, and still have to do grocery shopping :-)
looks like it is a kind of japanese sword, actually
re6 after the argument verb?
i only have one re6... its a color + little pest
ah found the argument word.. that re6 i just clued is the right one then
thx cos, that's the one, i thought i already entered it, but guess not
and thanks for the argument word shir :)
ok, I found it. A ts5 is the part of a japanese katana that prevents your opponent from sliding up to your hand when punctured... Usually a metal, circular object, may be artfully designed to make your katana even more personal.
sounds useful, sprite (if you are involved in sword fighting, anyway).
but then why won't it take gandy? I could sing you a song about gandy dancers...
lol yes, indeed, uusue. I like swords. And I used to study japanese. So there is some connection.
I did a little fencing in high school, not enough to be any good but it did give me a feel for the activity.
100 left!
yay, cos!
go cos gooooo! I have exactly 222 in now.
and I am actually past half way, not sure how that happened!
i hate re words.

Now I will sh 5/12 my story for my de 4/5 Babble friends.So my au4/5 Eu7/40 introduced me to Babble and thank God she did! I feel inde4/7ed to her for introducing me to such a great game.I be5/18 to babble about 5 years ago and haven't stopped. I love Babbleland.I'm aw 4/9 at the skill of babblers here.

I like it when Dr. God ba 4/6 trolls. He just be 5/14 them right out of the chog.Husband, however, ha 5/12 Babble. Hubby has ha 5/14 it ever since I started babbling. Sometimes I am st4/5ned by his Babble hatred.He is disgu6/30 with Babble. Hubby be 4/8 me to give it up, but I won't. I could never sn 4/7 my Babble friends. Husband said he would be 4/7 over backwards and do anything if I quit babbling.He even sw5/18 to quit Farmville if I give up Babble. I do not have the gu 4/7 to give it up. I feel like I have ea 4/4ed the right to babble. It bu4/9 him the way I am addicted to Babble. He ge4/6s in the way every time I babble.Husband te5/12 to get in a bad mood when I babble.Husband na4/6 at me when I babble. It drives me nu 4/5! It is ra 4/4 for me to be able to babble in peace. Sometimes I try babbling without him noticing but I usually get bu 6/30. Many times we get into he 6/24 arguments over Babble. Ra 4/4! Hubby wa 5/18 the computer now.If I don't give laptop to him he will become a ra6/18 & ra 4/4 and rave about Babble. He ra 5/10 over it all the time. I have sw 7/48 over this grid long enough anyway.

Hello JMC, buttered biscuits with apple sauce and ham sounds divine.
the apple sauce has cardamon! it is lovely
ok I am officially drooling now, jmc
*puts a dozen in the pb*
wonder what that is in chlorestorol?
cardamon doesn't have cholesterol
donno does ham have chloresterol
cardamom is safe
i must confess there is a little bit of butter on the biscuits
yep, the butter does too; but otherwise the applesauce doesn't
well it is tasty enough i don't care
47n left and i am we4y
Hey, yall. How is everyone? I've had a great day. Hi, TO, jmc, Nef, sprite, ruru, et al
hello dcseain
hi dc
since i will probably not get 1/2 way i am giving in an listing!
hi DC
i just started, will see how it goues
goes even
what did you do DC?
Still searching for the world's best biscuit recipe
hi seain!
somebody had it in her profile, Molly. Let me check.
i have gotten lazy i use the pilsbury frozen ones so i can eat one or two at a time
oh Molly, sorry, that was shortbread.
I use those too JMC, but I would love a recipe for the light and fluffy Southern type ones.
I use those too JMC, but I would love a recipe for the light and fluffy Southern type ones.
2 C flour, sifted with 2 TBS baking powder, 2 tsp Salt,cut in 1 stick butter, add 1 Cup sour milk or buttermilk, stir to just barely combine, drop by spoonfuls onto baking sheet, 350F 15-18 minutes.
And I meant that so much I said it twice.
i will look in my cookbooks--but my recollection is that james beard's cookbook was the best
3/4 C milk if you want to knead and roll them -- cannot be overkneaded
jmc: http://www.domenicacooks.com/2011 /01/in-praise-of-james-beards-mothers- biscuits/
you do need to knead them don't you
not if drop biscuits you don't, ru
been using the greatest little sea salt grinder.picked it up a week ago.it grinds up the coarse salt extra fine and has cut my salt intake by 75%since it is so fine and seasons better that the coarser standard table salt:)
my grandmother made be6 biscuits
you can totalyl do that instead of kneading, jmc
my hubby was on a low salt diet for so long i only use salt (and very lightly) when I cook and never on the table
cool, crossy :)
sounds good, crossy :)
Ok Seain, copied, saved and will try them. Yours too JMC.
i got donuts and ice cream on way home. not sure if i want now or in a little bit
*faints from sugar overload*
Donuts and ice cream!
hi geek
hi science!

ty
broken wrist,broken foot..you have to stop that kinky stuff mrp:)))
hm. gee whiz, mrp, sounds like a lot has been going on since I have been all in my own world. ***gentle hugs***
no worries dawg... am having a bone density scan on tuesday... gonna get these bones strong again if needed

you are so cute,i can imagine the comments
awww crossy!! thanks babe, I needed a compliment today!!
yep. have my "evaluation conference" this week, but otherwise just waiting for that paper in the mail.
np:))

no ceremony?
what paper will you get stid??
be 5 and 6 after "lovelies" pls?
always glad to assist, TO
see ya soon owl :)
I am not going. HATE *sits defiantly in PB* things like that. Instead, will be standing in the middle of the grassy field at the neighborhood school getting water balloons thrown at me. MUCH nicer!
later TO
be + soda name, mountain *** and plural
bye TO
ahh, but stiddy, it's a good role model for the boys!
agree stid LOL!!
bah. elder stidkid has his ceremony on the 14th. I will stand OUTSIDE the pavilion (near the open door by the band) and read a book....
I will look up when his name is called... *grin*
(though I don't blame you one bit.) i didn't go thru my undergrad ceremony, but did for my masters. Something special for my parents. and it was a class of 26 students! quick and no fuss.
hi all!
hi TNC!!
i was sick with a high fever all three ceremonies for me
hi tean
btw, not a word about the men's tennis finals of the french open... am watching it now... first set
but i enjoyed seeing my son
I figure I have earned the right to NOT attend something I find distasteful -- it's no fun for me, and I don't have to go. Remember, I don't celebrate anything -- not holidays, not birthdays, nothing.
hey tea!
hey stiddy - congrats on finishing
*sending une ssshhhh message out into the ether!*
thanks tea
graduations are like funerals, done for those who survived.
now the real work begins: job hunting, right?
proud of you stid!!
I won't have a funeral, either... forbidden!
hi t&c :)
yeah, job hunting is the next step. check out the teacher fairs.
good luck with that!
lol, stid, I think the funeral is the one that is really out of your hands - you can say what you would like but ultimately it is going to be up to other people :-)
no, the districts I would work in don't go to those things. I will sub next year and if they wish to hire me they can "try before they buy"
too many funerals of late... a couple of women I know my age!! how aweful for their children
ab 5/16?
awful even
my mom did that when she went back to work, stid, and it seemed to work out fine
subbing is a good way to start. Hubz got two jobs that way, unfortunately, one was due to a teacher's death.
and I agree with you about funerals, mrp, I avoid them when possible
which one, Natasha?
ab5 when you over use or do something
first is what bad parents do and second is plural of ab 4/7 before
Hi all
teaching always starts out subbing... my friend did the same
hi wht
hi wht
oh jeez, can't believe I missed that one!
Clue for the bu6,36 please.

hey wht
and I have passed 200 words, so I am done for today. Going to check the textbook for the lesson I am teaching tomorrow (the classroom teacher has graciously allowed me to continue to teach the kids this week also! -- JOY)
you know terri1? she is a teacher (doesn't work at moment) but she can't get a job in the area... and new teachers have to go out to the rural areas if they want to have a full time job to start with
so I have 145 words left to find, am wondering if I should even bother to try to finish...
morning wht :)
night stiddy
I live in a rural area. no intention of moving, so that is where I am looking. But not yet... I need some downtime first! ***Hugs all -- POOF***
