I'm sensing people looking at me funny...congrats diz
does anyone have a clue for the last st7/28?
It will really pump you up!
ty Douglas, looking
Scratch that, the thing that will really pump you up is a st7/32
wondered
need the one after that
how aboyt the or 6/21?
don't have any or words, sorry cos
I just got an st 7/28 before the st 7/32
my two st 7/28's are almost identical, just the 4th letter different
and the last one extends to a 10
thanks Douglas for the 28
bingo, got the 10
both have a pl, too
st words done
evening all :))
or6/21?
howdy mrp! :)
hello mrp, how are you today
howdy ho all!! doing ok thanks!
am having a nice day... cause it is my wedding anniversary!
glad to hear it
congratulations to you and lickety, then! :D
well, Happy Anniversary, which one?
thank you!! 15 years today... wow!
wtg
*applause!*
thats wonderful mrpresident, good work
yay mrp
okay, Douglas, I'm still wondering, was vweedie a clue? (I understood the Tom Sawyer one.) the nightly hiccup distracted me from asking earlier
The vweedie vweedie vweedie was part of the Tom Sawyer song (old-fashioned synthesizer)
thank you all :))
oh, I get it then, haha!
Hey there everyone.
I tried to get my 13yod and/or my 10yod to read The Westing Game this weekend, without success
hi peach :)
May I please have a clue for st7-28 the 3rd? Thanks
could never get our kids to read a darn thing, they'd rather play videogames or watch movies, sigh...
Many people who are crossword puzzle composers these days, read The Westing Game when they were kids
10yod really enjoyed Fish, a pirate novel by Gregory Mone
like a Hollywood girl actress, but with a different 1st vowel
sorry, that was the clue for the other st 7/28, peach
the last sh6?
That's ok rbud.
don't have it yet peach
but the last st 7/28 is the one that makes into a 10, last two 7/28's are almost identical, only the 4th letter different
or cos, sorry
Go sh7, it's your birthday, we're gonna party like it's your birthday
or at least the last two I have...
haha, you'
you're so musical, I giggled
That's the great thing about Babble, people appreciate the associations I make
Thanks anyway, flosey.
sorry if my clues stunk, peach :P
(still looking for an sh6, now that you mentioned it, lol!)
Should I care that terroir is not in the dictionary? Is it worth getting wound up over?
is that French?
English-speaking oenophiles use the word terroir on a regular basis (and don't go to jail for it)
Yes it is French, so there is an excuse for it not being in the dictionary
Oh, rbud, your clue doesn't stink......it's me....just too tired to concentrate. Thank you so much.
Terroir is why two wines from the same region don't taste exactly the same
it's okay, peach - ((hugs))
aha, so that's why it's wine-related? I know I play My Vineyard at Facebook, and land expansion purchases are labelled "terroir" in there
One field of grapes gets a little less sun, a little more rain, etc.
did someone clue the last sh6 yet
I just assumed it was related to "territory" and went merrily along
nope, still looking for the sh6 since it was mentioned
sh + monthly dues for your landlord
shrent doesnt work lol
oh, lol, how did it get into lickety!!
aha, I have an sh5 and pl now, sh + florida disneyworld town, ***ando (another lame clue)
it did for u?
i found the sh6 btw
its plural of the sh5 above it
yep, good, I think I must have them too then
thanks , just got it
te o
ignore that
good night all...happy Babbling
night Douglas, see ya round! :)
good night douglas, I'll also be leaving, goodnight all
70 left for tomorrow
2 left.
nite, flosey! still not halfway here yet, about all I currently aspire to these days. :P
go cos go! :)
fireworks
yippee! congrats!
curses, still need the right lone E for nbt - could I prevail upon someone for a hint? please and ty
nvm, post and solve, got it! :D
love how that works so often for me, lol
sorry, a billion phone calls later, and back!!
and gone again!! life is on!
Rbud....ei 4/5 most of a duck

hi everyone
hi all :))
hi mrp

wow, been away for a few hours and very little activity on the chog!!
hi carlee!! **hugs**
on ya carlee!
{{hugs}} back hows things?
good thanks sweetie!! refs meeting tonight... just home 10pm now!! about to have dinner with lickety
it is our 15th anniversary today! brave man staying with me!! LOL!
how you going sweetheart?
~~~~~~<----- waves hello to lickety
i go for my meetingin an hour
to see about funding for school...my stomach is roiling
oh babe!! best of luck hunny!!
I know it will all work out
i feel like...i am on a cliff..about to jump
but then..i am also so freakin scared they will tell me no
good morning!
hi mama
bet they don't!! you will get it no problem!
hi mamab! :)
fingers..toes..eyes crossed
but...am still really scared
anyway...best go make myself presentable
take your oxygen tank with you, and your base jumping parachute, and enjoy the experience carlee!
good luck with your funding carlee. got the news that our pre-k grant was not funded this year. :( Now I'm looking for a job. I'll say a prayer your meeting goes better!
will do..toodles
thanks mama
*poof*
how are you today mrp?
good luck carlee!!
good mamab!! how you going??
ok. preparing for another hot day
watched the women's world cup championship and thought of you. didn't know the refs did as much running as the players!
indeed mamab!! ran for 6 hours on saturday alone!
the heatwave just isn't letting up over there is it??
nope and the kiddos hate to be indoors. think we may have to swim today!
refereeing is absolutely exhausting both physically and mentally... total concentration needed for ALL games on the day
the players whinge about playing for 90 min in the cold/rain... I ref for 4 x 90 minute games in the one day!!
new to soccer. my boys have taken an interest and played in an intro league this spring. think i'll be learning more about it in the years to come.
you will mamab... it is a very good game and skill to have
definitely more fun to watch than baseball!
team work is the most important element
does your heatwave have anything to do with our coldest streak ever?
indeed! :)
too right berri, has been a bloody freezer lately
good morning everyone:)
the team work is something that really has me in awe! So many of our sports are team oriented, but ultimately each player does his own thing. Soccer really does require strategy and working together.
hi crossy!! :)
i'm sorry! I'll send you some heat, if you send me a little cool air!!
oh wish it worked that way!! I could use a bit of heat!
how goes it crossy?? **hugs**
hello cross!
hello everyone
hi annie! :) **hugs**
(((mrp))) back at you
crossy did you ever meet up with sprite?
lol,mrp,still trying to wake up and get the ole lungs fired up
yes i did annie and she got her books
goody
now i have uusue sending me her wish list lol
but i do not min d sharing my library with my babble buddies
but i do not min d sharing my library with my babble buddies
mmmm crossy has da hiccups
*gives crossy a brown paper bag to blow into*
breathe!!! deeply!!
all better?, crossy
all better ty
morning, all!
am watching 'real housewives of Beverly Hills'... for goodness sakes!! what fake faces etc they have!
hi usue! **hugs**
morning sue:)
their faces don't move! no expression!
any time you see a TV show titled "The Real...." you can be sure it's fake.
botox
and hi,mrp and crossy!
hi uu
I didn't realise Kelsey Cramer's?? wife Camille was in it! unreal botox
hi, annie!
plastic surgery, too
this one chick... she has totally plastic lips!
looks so stupid!
and they have all had their noses reconstructed to look exactly the same as eachother! ... even the bleach in their hair is the same as eachother!
silicone breasted mouth breathers..good to rent,but would not want to live with one lol
rent-a-barbie !
they have their place in the world..lol
i guess so... just revolts me what some people do to their bodies... IMHO anyway
but as for living with,confiding in,sharing my hopes and dreams with and growing old together? forget it! they have about as much depth as a plastic dinner plate..and the same materials as well lol
we as single guys used to call them "training wheels" good to get rolling with then you can relax and search for a real woman lol
'You men are disgusting!
training wheels!! omg!!
Good morning, Real Babblers of the World.
It is because of you that women want to look like that
hi judi!! :)
not really poodle! they do it to themselves to compete with other women for their men!
IMHO, women are a lot harder on each other when it comes to looks than men are!
what is the difference?
indeed mamab !
Real Housewives. PUH-LEEZ. Just a bunch of empty headed gold diggers.
hi, judi and mama!
the relationship women have with eachother is the catalyst to the plastic crap they insert into their bodies
Just an observation. The media plays an important role in how women preceive themselves.
it takes a certain 'woman' to do the plastic fantastic to themselves... shallow?? insecure?? who friggin knows what drives them to 'disable' themselves like that
indeed judi! they all stand together and you can hear the wind tunnel !!
the media is stupid
and only stupid women follow the media
lol!
well, I am going to go make myself gorgeous by doing some exercise - hahaha - once you get to be 60 you are doing it for health, not appearance!!! but I do want to improve my health...
women are much harder on each other about this..we just shake our heads sometimes
good on you usue! I am in the same boat! luv my exercise!!
my mrs is all in a panic about a few grey hairs..i did not even notice till she pointed them out
I think men are clueless when it comes to women - maybe even themselves.
thank you crossy! how true
we are not clueless pt,we know it has something to do with chocolate
large statement there
grey hair on men is considered fine, a woman?? Oh man she is OLD.
see what I mean
see what I mean
relax pt,did not mean to ruffle yer fur
I used to exercise a lot, now I can only do a little but I figure a little is better than none
good for you sue.
the little woman should stay in her place, right crossie?
no poodle!! crossy is so not like that!
you guys know the movie twister? in there there is the female stars aunt who is an artist and creates windmills,she has this beautiful long hair to her waist that is 50% her colour and 50% grey and i think it is beautiful
uh oh
my grey hear doesn't bother me, or my husband for that matter, at all. But my siblings (sister & 4 brothers) are always on me about it. I figure I earned every one of them and I'm not the least bit ashamed of them! :)
relax pt lol
mrp knows crossy
he is mucking about with this... false image makers are their own worse enemy
and I'm only in my late 30's! :)
People are always accusing me of dying my hair because It is not gray.
I dyed my hair briefly when my son was little and people thought I was his grandmother, but it was too much trouble.
late
accusing you? is a reflection of them poodle, not you
oops.........sorry
my mrs had this mole on her face she had surgically removed.when she broached the subject to me,once again she had to point it out to me,as i do not see it.to me ,she has no flaws...well she does squeeze the tooth paste tube in the middle...lol
started to go gray before I was 30, now totally grey/white (as you can see in my photo :-)
I think that is the proper place to squeeze the toothpast!
bad! bad! always squeeze on the end
not a grey on me! but found one under the armpit!!
not so bad now they are plastic,but when the tubes were metal it was a nightmare
actually you can't tell from the photo but my son (age 21) also has some gray hairs - they are not a reliable indicator of age! :-)
and mrp, you can see your armpits???
yes! can't you??
funny, crossie, I was just typing how it was easier when they were lead. they stayed when you rolled them up.
no, my neck doesn't bend that way
and I don't look at them in the mirror :-)
oh, i can see my armpits! LOL!!
anyway, I REALLY AM going to do my little bit of exercise now, bbs!
crossy shakes his head,watching the ladies compare furry armpits..hehe
tc sue
see ya usue!!
luv my fur!
I'm going to have laser treatments to get rid of the armpit hair. So annoying to have to shave.
the euro look!
Is that permanent, Judy?
No, I don't live in Beverly Hills and I'm not a trophy wife.
Morning all. Stats for the right E please for NBT.
my MIL told me about laser hair removal of the neather regions... recommended it to me... sounds ouchie to me!!
NM got it
i asked for a trophy wife once,the wife said if i brought one home,she would leave me for the other woman and they would both sue for alimony!...killed that fantasy fast i tell you!
haha!! too funny crossy!
Well, it's somewhat ouchie. However, they give you a topical numbing cream. The zapping is over very quickly.
hi bea :)
even worse mrp..now the 25 year old hottie call me "sir" and ask if i need a hand getting MY parcels to the car! lol..another fantasy shot to heck
poodle, I have eyeliner and lipliner tattooed on... permanent
poor crossy!! LOL!! too cute old man!
well that would be easier. I dont even wear them anymore tho.
my da says it gets better once you get over 70.then you can say whatever you like cause no one takes you seriously anymore
Can't be worse than hearing "ma'am" for the first time. Giant cringe.
my better half got that the other day in the grocers..she was not amused
it is easier... and I look alive!! can't put it on otherwise, and got so tired of hearing 'oh you don't look well'... so got the eyes and lips done to shut them up
"Ma'am" should be banished from the English language. I like "Hey, Lady!" (ala Jerry Lewis).
you will have to post a nice glamour shot for fb page mrp..get a good look at you,you know the ones with the come hither/piss off you dolt look lol
Yeah! that is better.
now all i can hear in my mind is lewis saying"thank you nice lady!"
Crossy's asking for sex pictures. Wrong chat room, you perv!
crossy is bad..crossy is sorry
No pictures. We'll just continue to tease you, Crossy. ;-)
lol
sometimes the art of the hunt is better than the actual capture lol
i had the armpits + bikini line zapped. it didnt get everything, but it significantly reduced things to a much more manageable amount. numbing cream didnt do diddly, though. hurt like the dickens.
just paint your pictures in the corners of my mind as it were lol
though we have many pics of eva:)
Gotta put the numbing cream on at least one hour before the treatment. Works good. But, there's still the psychological factor of getting electro-shocks.
crossy, will post it just for you!!
our resident fashionista
hi eva :)
i did use the numbing cream well in advance, following doctors orders. did nothing for me. but she said each person is different.
hiya MrP :)
well, I won't be doing that judi!! don't like ouchie!!! LOL
I used a product call GIGI hair removal and it WORKED!! that kind of stuff never worked for me before, but 8 minutes later, I had no leg hair
hi all
crossy -- i had a shoot done in my wedding dress. havent posted any of those pics yet...
hi sue! :)
Hi Eva and sue!
would love to see you in your full wedding plumage eva
lickety posted on my wall, me in my wedding dress... have a looksie!
very nice indeed!
the harbour bridge and opera house in the background are amazing
yes,well placed shot indeed
thanks !
how many words today; thanks
and you look so beautiful,it is a wonder the film did not burn in the camera,almost as good as my mrs on her day..but not quite
oh that is sweet !!
202 steve

anyone have the oe 7 ?
ty Annie
ty
hello all, found an 8 by myself! help with the 10 pls
I have it, but I can't think of how to clue it.
usually happens with those 2 vowel beginings
what does the 10 start withmaybe I can find it myself
st 10----snoring
St10/77
ty will look
oe7...poetic word meaning not under + he got bu**** for selling pot
<---- Had no clue that 10 meant snoring.
Thanks Molly! great clue
I get on ly 6 lette4rsd with that clue Molly
and not seeing the st10
You're welcome Annie
o + him not h** + he got bu**** for selling pot
ty Molly
That poetic word for not under is in The National Anthem...*** the land of the free...
i see crossy is gone now, but for anyone else who may be interested, i just loaded a coupla photos from my last photo shoot onto my Flickr page. these were taken in a historic row-home in Baltimore, in my wedding dress. (all photos are pre-edit, so not perfect)
perfect shmurfect
Beautiful photos Eva. Very nice setting as well.
does the st10 build on the st7?
Yes Peri, it does.
(on st7/28 that is)
I am on the right tarck then :)
(one of them)
peri, it builds on the st 7.28
so, i have some sad news
sorry, was on the phone
Oops, thanks Hursh for pinning that down.
my cousin lost a leg yesterday morning in afghanistan.
Oh Hursh, I am so sorry to hear that. God bless him.
sorry to hear that hurshy
Oh my God, sorry to learn that
oh I am so sorry Hurshy
There are two st7/28s. The first st7 is loud talker.
my aunt is obviously having some trouble with this, but i think, you know, the main thing is that he's alive.
I only have one of them. I think it is the right one but can;t get an st10
Terrible news, Hurshy. But, he is alive and will be coming home. Prayers for his speedy recovery.
That is a good way to look at it Hurshy. I am su4 that your aunt is probably still in shock
speedy recovery and most importantly, good psychiatric care. this was his third explosion.
Oh wow, yes he will need some help dealing with that.
Oh My !
Killing and maiming our boys. Damn shame.
well not finding the st10 any more clues?
yes... he's only 19 and had only been there a couple of months.
Bloody Afghan bastards.
no, no, judi
loud talking + wondr*** love
there isn't any point in naming them by nationality. there are people of all nationalities who do terrible things, and people of all who do great things.
sorry, snoring +*** as below
must be working with the wrong st7 then but ty
Isnt it about time we brought our young men and women home from Iraq and Afghanistan?
True. But it is a majorly corrupt country where Americans can trust no one.
bbl
well supposedly they are starting to, annie
the words differ by one consonant
be back later
Time for icky work. BBL. *POOF*
oh, hurshy. so sorry to hear of your cousin. thats a lot to experience at such a young age.
indeed.
so... how about 8's. i have as and to
st8 ... plural of loud talker
and the other st8 pl also! thanks dos!
that gets me to 90% finished.
pretty nice grid.
hrmmm..... not screamers, not shouters... *wakes brain*
... when I get the snoring word ... I'll agree with you ...
... phew ... I agree with you ... ... ... that was hard work ...
snoring word starts like cookie mon****, ends like other st 7
... tks
Hello wonderful Babbleonians
I need the right hand e, just a little hint
... a shortened duck or pillowv
tyvm dose
hi all
i kept missing that one because I wanted to add an r at the end
hi everyone
are we liking this grid?
just a quick babble before going to school to work registration. ahhh school actually starts next week
not gettting thos st clues
... general opinion seems to be yes
<sigh> further evidence my brain twists opposite of everyone else...
... there are three st7 ... which do you need? ...
... sorrry ... that st7/28s
I have the 7/8 combo one..that's it
and the 10
I'm missing two st 7's
i have 2...one is a protazoa
one is a muscle enhancing illegal drug
ah
... one changes the middle vowel on a young girl trying to make it in Hollywood ...
thanks for Jason Giambi's favorite drug
and the 3rd is the one who can be described as the st10
and teh st8 's are plurals of 2 of those 3
thanks everyone ..that was easy
only a zillion more 7's to go.
yea..i only have 18 more to go
anyone watching the murdock questioning?
hint for bottom e and 4th column o, please
no..I think it is creepy what is going on though
I wonder what the Brits think about it here
at least another country besides the US has a scandal
or5 ... like a bird from baltimore
... and a plural
i posed teh question to cnn and rachel maddow about 2 weeks ago when this first started over there....asking if anyone was looking into this happening here given the change in wiretapping laws due to homeland security... and man..i got SOOOO many hateful viscious posts to my fb in reply
ty dose for the homophone
i feel a bit vindicated now
... you must remember carlee ... it's never bad when we do it ... because we're good and nice people ... only other people are mean and nasty ... and we are fully justified in thinking them dangerous ... because we're not ... just ask us ..
brave of you
oh yea..i remember how we canadians were the worlds worst when on when hand we let all the incoming planes land here yet we were responsibile for letting the terrorists into the USA ...
nothing like the us govt slapping us in the face for doing a good deed...when it is not the cdn tax paying dollar that is responsible for us security
... I waiting for a Nafta response from the US building industires when they can't buy softwood lumber from us because we've sold it all to the Chinese ... ... then they'll have punished us for selling it them and not selling it to them ...
anyway.... i got a few hate comments..and a couple even Pm 'ed me....i forwarded those to Fb for abuse
there are some seriously hateful people out there
chinese and japan...
... yeah ... but I dated a girl in high school whose parents spent world war II in a Canadian concentration camp ...

ty ru - morning everyone
gm hoot
hi hoot
Just read back a bit - I went to catholic school for 1st & second grade and I was the only one who questioned the nuns. By my teens I was qustioning our priest. I no longer consider myself a catholic!
oh my ro word is here again!!!!!!
i had a really interesting discussion with a priest not long ago
about the term..catholic
do tell
it is actually a very utilitarian word to encompass all christian faiths ( excluding...a few...i forget... we were waiting for court proceedings so as much as i was paying attention..some of the details are lost ) ... whereas to be ROMAN catholic it to be a member of the church of rome...
so..u may still be "catholic" just not..roman catholic...
... as I recall ... catholic simply means universal
No
anyway..was just interesting..i had not heard that before
Little c catholic means universal. It alters when it's capitolized.
yea...that was it dose
i just had not heard that before...i found it interesting
not being...Catholic...roman catholic...or... any other brranches of any affiliated or 3 or 4 time removed churches
... I was raised by Orangemen ... even the Anglican Credo claims to belong to the "catholic" church ...
Well you spent years asking questions whose only answer is "you must have faith" and for me it's bye bye
i believe to a degree you must have a certain ammount of faith....but...i like my questions answered too...
I don't have any particular faith. What do you mean by "must"?
Well this was ALL I ever got. Then there was the priest who called kissing a sin but couldn't explain why - that kind of stuff puts up my hackles
kissing is a sin? omg
Just that - no explaination of anything asked - just you MUST have faith
o
which is why i went to the unitarians....
Well maybe priests aren't as stupid now as they were then but they were a complete turnoff for me
uh-oh, gotta run,bbl
this preiest was very thoughtful..i enjoyed speaking with him..i love getting tinot theology discussions
getting into
Good morning all
riel
sorry - coffee in pb?
And breakfast scones. You're good.
Couldn't help but see some of the comments. I got to an Evangelical church that we joined about a year and a half ago. I was raised in a non-denominational church and then quit going into my adult years. I am now in my 50's. I know it's hard to just "believe" or "have faith", but I do know that when I've struggled that when I pray a lot and try to put it in God's hands, I feel much better. I also feel better the weeks that I've been in church. Just saying....
Not putting down anyone that doesn't believe, but it sure has helped me in the last couple of years.
Glad it works for you
Me, too!
I never put people down for their beliefs. What are you showing but that you are an idiot
Excuse me?
me too trent... taking your problems and in your mind placing them into god;s hands... somehow is a relief...
That's right, carlee
That comment was aimed at me!!!
Oh, I'll put people down for believing things that are demonstrably untrue--but very little of the benefits that people claim from religion are demonstrable or quantifiable, so I generally leave it alone.
The two of you should step outside...
But people who believe that satan put bones in the earth to test our faith in god? Mockity mockmockmock
worded badly - I would never put anyone down for anything.
I won't argue with anyone about religion, but I don't appreciate it if someone thinks I'm an idiot for believing. Everyone has their own opinion and that's the way it should be.
( I think Hoot meant that comment more as a rhetorical question ... that if you put people down for their beliefs it only makes you look a fool )
Okay, thanks, owl.
trentsnana, hootowl was saying that putting people down for their beliefs makes the putter-dwn look like an idiot, not the believer. I think you misunderstood.
morning all ... floors are in!
ok good
woohoo ..way to go pini
toe kicks and such being put back today and then my furniture returns!
yea!!!!!!!!!!... excellent... how does it look?
What is a "toe kick", Pini?
I guess the best example I have for feeling peace in believing is that my mother-in-law passed away about a year and a half ago. My husband and I were quite at peace as she slipped away, knowing in our hearts where she was going. My father-in-law, who is a non-believer, was pacing the floor, very tense and just could not get his head around any of it.
oh, and I wrote on the floor before they covered it up!
Anyway - enough on religion.....
what did u write?
What type of flooring did you put in, Pini?
KODA WAS HERE!
( toe kick in the bit of wood that is under teh cupboard that matches the cupboard but just covers up the space )
laminate flooring (Mt. Vernon Cherry)
ty, carlee
Is the bit of wood *
sounds nice
we have laminate in our home and love it
(hold on - phone)
easy to take care of
Okay - at the halfway mark. Trent is here visiting me from out of state (my only grandchild) and we're going up into the mountains today.
( murdock's son is a a very good speaker...dont know much about him... but he is a good public speaker )
Have a great day, everyone!
I have 78 left. I think I have to go to Lickety; I am stuck.
fireworks thx to Lickety and chat clues
Hello
whoo hooo vanilla!
loving the side show from Great Britain!
hi all
so am i jmc
:-D
it has been the most entertaining news in years
i got alot of very hateful posts regarding my question to cnn a couple weeks ago
really? what was your question?
I even got a couple brutal PM's to my inbox that i sent to fb
personally I am rooting for james and rupurt to go down
PMs?
i asked cnn about 2 weeks ago if anyone here was investigating newscorp wrt phone tapping due to the changes making it easier to tap since homeland security..9 I told you about that )
private messages in fb
sorry i am a forgetful sort
( i told u about the question... back when i asked it )
i am mainly hoping someone else will buy the WSJ now
but the Hateful messages i got..was alarming...
so i sent to FB for abuse
i am entertained how CNN is dealing with Peirs Morgan
How did your meeting go Carlee?
well...i am not sure
... careful jmc ... you might get Conrad Black if he gets out of jail ... he's looking for a platform again ..
i THINK i will qualify to do what i want to do
i wont know until the 5th of aug
good for you carlee report those!
Good news.
i wont qualify for teachers college but i think i can wangle finishing my BA and then the TESL program
hi again, all, I have survived my walk to work but it sure is not!!!
yay, carlee!!!!!
conrad wont be out for a bit yet dose
yes even i have on the ac today
and by not I mean HOT. it is HOT here.
it depends on if esl teacher is a NOC A or NOC b classification for a career
... but he'll be trying ... and if mafia guys can run mobs from jail ... I wouldn't put it past Conrad ... ...
it is 84 degrees in my office
can he afford the WSJ? two of my friends are going to china for 2 years because he can't stand working there anymore
a teacher/ doctor/ lawyer etc is a NOC a...college degree is Noc b
he used to cover the elections but doesn't want to this time
NOC?
to qualify for TESL you need a BA..but TESl is an online program
national occupation classification
(so much to learn)
all jobs in canada..are classified...
ok - back
NOC d is mc donalds
interesting carlee
to mow lawn..is noc d
hi pini
hiya jmc ;)
noc a is a lawyer, doctor, teacher
wb sistah
thx :)
... probably not any more ... who'd trust him enough to lend him the money? ... but he doesn't have the Financial Postany more (the Canadian version) ... and I think he gave up his House of Lords seat ... and we don't want him back ... so that leaves the WSJ ..
i am hoping that since tesl is an online course....it is NOT a NOC A...but you need a BA to get into it...
Per phone call...I have some good news!
aren't people going to quit reading the WSJ if this goes on? I know we don't get it any more
waiting.....
ACK! *puts the WSJ under a blanket so Black doesn't see it*
pini!!!
people still watching Fox News arent they?
... carlee ... can you get the credits to be an Educational Assistant (EA)? ... I don't recommend high sch0ol teaching in Ontario ... I only got the supply list when I went back ...
heheh dcseian posted a funny vid about sarah palin...
not me, carlee, but I think the WSJ has a somewhat different audience
As an informed customer (having done extensive homework on the flooring I chose), I have corrected an error by the manufacturer in the samples it provided to its 400 retailers!
there are still good reporters there--just the opinion page that is beyond nauseating
i dont want to teach in schools....ultimately i want to bugger off to another country to teach english as a second language
i used to subscribe but too broke :-(
The color of the floor isn't "Mt. Vernon Cherry" - its "Shaker Cherry"! *proud customer grin*
wtg pin doo tell
second to 6/21 Please
i want to go to the middle east and make caboodles of $$$ teaching over there
oh i need to get anew icon brb
yay pini..u getting any credits?
All of the store samples are actually backwards! :) (I chose the lighter of the two)
Oh, how I wish, carlee!
yay, pini!! they should pay you, right?
ok..i gotta go get some groceries..making pizza rolls and buraq and fatayer tonight when it cools off a bit so we have easy finger foods
see you later, carlee - hoping for good news!!
Change the last two letters of the first one, ruru, to the same letters that end the 10
thanks sue...
... okay ... then if you can ... get the B.ED ... and the Ontario College of Teachers registration ... they at least claim that the OCT is highly cherished by school boards everywhere
thank you sam
te6 after the singers?
thx for those, ru ;)
british spelling
... it's not a Canadian spelling ... but Canadian the spelling of the singers
thx for those hurshy, doseffing ;)
thanks hurshy
back
wb jmc
does anyone know if chewing on your lip helps novocaine wear off faster?
just don't chew too hard!
probably not it just means it will hurt later
well of course, but i want to know whether to bother at all.
I don't think so Hursh.
it seems like it OUGHT to work. sigh.
i suppose it is conceivable that it would get theblood flowing more and therefore take the toxins out faster
exactly what i thought!
why don't we have any babbling dentists or hygienists, lol
stats for the third row T please
we've got nurses and docs
if it makes you feel better, do it
tr4/4
well i would think one of them would know
Because it's hard to Babble while drilling and cleaning teeth. : D
true
it only makes it feel better IF it's going to work!
sam i am coming to texas in oct and am still hoping for a mini-meet up
I'll be here for that! Where in Texas?
ty hursh
mmmm - it works by blocking the nerve impulses so I don't think once it's acting it has anything to do with the blood stream (novocaine, that is)
bummer.
I will probably fly into houston so i can stay there a day or two after my event in austin that saturday and hopefully another one on sunday then back to houston
so i suppose there is nothing i can do to induce it to wear off quicker then?
I'm closer to Austin than Houston by a long shot.
if the blood has nothing to do with it how does it wear off?
holy crap i leave to shave my legs and come back and murdock has been attacked?
lol yes and there is another babbler in Austin so I thought maybe sunday evening?
Sounds fabulous!
I don't think so, hurshy - next time you can ask them to not use epinephrine, which makes it last longer
attacked? did someone hit him?
Murdock who the what now? *heading out to CNN*
and jmc, I don't know how it wears off, am still trying to figure that out
yeap during questioning
attacked with what?
shaving foam in his face...
squarely in face
haha
a plate of shaving foam
well i'd say he deserves that.
The CNN report made it sound like someone threw a custard pie at him. Hi-larious!
But the poor guy who did it is gonna go to jail. What a shame.
ok... gotta go get groceries... hoping nothing else exciting happens
aw man! can't they just give him a fine? we could all chip in to help pay it
well i believe you take that chance when you attack someone physically
i would chip in too hursh
Yeah but a man who has just said, with a straight face, "to my knowledge, certain things were not known" is kinda begging for it.
samantha you can email me at jmcnrick at yahoo and I will let you know what i can work out
Fireworks. I'm'a stick around for the next few minutes if anyone wants clues.
CCN is saying: Peirs Morgan has told us he did nothing illegal while working as the head of a Murdoch paper.
whoo hooo sam!
yay, sam!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
that's what they all say...
And I'm going out on a limb with my prediction here: Piers Morgan is lying.
i love the phrasing--"he told us"
well he may have believed what he did at the time was not illegal--no comment on immoral
Have y'all gotten to play with Google+ yet?
hursh, there seems to be some disagreement as to whether drinking warm liquids can hasten the novocaine wearing off - it can't hurt (which chewing your lip can), just make sure liquids aren't hot enough to burn you
stat for the 4thcolumn O please
that supports my blood theory! *feels exonerated*
... the almost spelling of the bird from baltimore ... and plural ... ... and the one that sounds very much like a particular French town
ty dose
nbt
okay going to go practice law for a bit--warming up for going full time in *tada!* 12 days
I just emailed you.
bbl
And i'm outta here. Y'all have a great day!!

oh man - ty jess mom
tr 4/4 I think
gaaaah, thx, jess!
yw
then I'm sure lol
*sigh*
lol
how small are they cutting the bricks?
just trimming the ones that have to go in spaces
having a patio put in..
aah
you probably guessed that
sounds nice, west!
it will be sue..less lawn now too
lots of work in this hot weather
so they all have their shirts off
but you can't walk on it ever or you might break the little bricks!
we can swing on ropes from the roof
and admire the little bricks on your way down?
that's the plan lol
:-)
the entire backyard had to be graded down about a foot
no shirts? pictures plz lol
and then that was filled in
wow, where did you put all the soil?
hauled it away in trucks
you could build a ski hill...
nbt woot
I was thinking that too, gwen :-)
yay, gwen!
it was old dirt
finished all the i's
didn't even smell good
old dirt? as opposed to young dirt?
gj gwen !!
old as dirt
lol Gwen - congrats
whatever it is things just grow
we'll bring in loam and probably never have anything grow again
they unearthed a drain that goes down about 15 feet
so all the drain pipes from the roof had to be rerouted..nothing is simple
gwen camera and phone are on the charger or I would take a picture
awwwww
bummer, west :-)
one guy looks like Mr. Clean lol
ok, I have to give a talk on telescopes on Friday, better get back to writing it, bbl!

its early days yet west
bye
hi all
hi and by jmc. :-)
h jm
hi sammy
bye wolvie
i was on the phone with the phone company
All righty then. I just filled the temporary pool in the PB. The cabana boys are serving margarita's, pina coladas and frozen mud slides. Who's in?
*margaritas* Geesh.
Oh dear. I'm too la4. Everyone is passed out from the heat.
finito!! tada!!
i'll take that margarita now!
*Passes around margaritas and cool drinks for all those prostrated by the heat*
Fireworks for me tooooooo!
*SPLASH* Up to eyeballs in virtual pool.
**~~!! Judi **~~!!
what does the 10 letter word start with?
ok, fire alarm went off in my office so I came home.
Office was 84 degrees, home is 91, and it is 101 outside. This may not have been a good idea.
st 10/77 Lisa
we are giving in and turning the AC on at home, although only the upstairs
thank you molly
Sue, that's a good thing. That kind of heat is dangerous.
also expensive, sigh
I also have an ice pack on my neck but in 10 minutes it has already warmed up
Sue, you seem very frugal when it comes to turning on the AC. Dollars spent to the power company seem better spent than dollars spent on medical bills due to heat exhaustion. Hope things cool down for you soon.
Well, I am keeping hydrated, have fans everywhere, and am generally being careful; people did live here before AC existed, after all! (Also unless I have to go to the ER my medical copay with the HMO is only $15 - not that i am planning on needing it!!
(you did remind me I need to change my clothes, though! Office clothes are not that cool, at least mine aren't)
ok back to the grid :)
yes, please, random clues would be appreciated :) I have exactly half of the puzzle done@
hi, sadie!
nour
nope :-)
ha ha..sorry about that :0
hi sue :)
hi all
<== grew up in Texas prior to universal A/C
but then again people died from heat stroke then too--just more of them
hubby grew up in
Hubby grew up in S. Florida without AC or heat. He's a tough one. When I ask him how he can sleep without AC he just says he stays very still
I lived in Israel for two summers and it was unbearale
i wash my feet on really hot nights and have a ceiling fan
wash and do not dry my feet that is
greetings from unseasonably cold galicia...nw spain
:-P
We have ceiling fan and don't use the AC during the day
i use it during the day in my office when temp is 95+ but never really at night
if you cool your wrists you will feel cool...all you need is rubbing alcohol and cotton balls
the most important thing to do is close the windows and blinds during the day
I used to put my kid's pillows in the deep freezer ! They still remember how "cool" it felt. Now some of them have AC
We don't have unbearable hot weather here in Alberta.... and on days that are VERY hot, we most always get a thunder storm at night with cools things off .
which
hi again all
hi carlee
not sure waht the temp is here.....very very warm
it's just 22 here right now... very pleasant... slight breeze
It's 90 here now, but will go down to the mid 60's tonigh
its 27 C but with humidity..feels like 37... its cureently 37 in riyadg saudi arabia
riyadh SAudi arabia
( mind it is almost midnight there )
son and family went to their home in Casa Grande Az. a couple of weeks ago... it hit +51 one day....that is about 123 F.... TOOOOOO hot for me.
It's about 32 here
but that is a dry heat <snort>
but it's a dry heat
snap bichon
We have excessive heat warnings here and bad air quality index. Not the kind of weather to fool around with.
exactly.... and once over 100... you don't notice much difference !!
tornado weather Molly
I remember being in Oslo a couple of years ago and they had a hot spell there. My husband's in Lassen Volcanic National Park this week and it's pretty nice
there were tornado warnings yesterday in windsor
Oh, I notice a difference once over 100. The air doesn't move and all the plants seem to be gasping for breath. No tornado warnings here.
i am cooking tonight....am sick of not having "food" but is too hot to turn on oven etc during day..making a buunch of finger foods we can eat for rest of week
making some meat pies ( u bake in little pizza dough pockets ) ....some spinach ones..and some tuna ones... and am making some curried veggie rolls and pizza rolls
and making some bean and tomato dip
then we can just....go to the fridge...and grab food and eat...
No interest in hot food here when it's this hot. Lot's of salad and cold cuts until it cools down outside.
( u eat these cold )
or hot...doesnt matter
but...am just tired of sandwiches and salad
that all sounds tasty, carlee!
( its stuff we have when cooking for the dinners ..the spinach ones are called fatayer...well they all are..spinach is most popular....)
it is still 99 out with a heat index of 113 (that's 37 and 45)
the curried veggie rools are called buraq...but am also filling some rolls with pizza stuff for my non curry loving son
that was us yesterday...our saving grace today was fog until noon
better than 101 and 117 but not much
And what is for dinner at Sue's house tonight?
rolled off the lake....
the bean and tomato dip is called foull
beats me, Molly, Frank does the cooking
( pronounced fool )
last night it was rice and beans with paneer (pouch of Indian goodies from Trader Joes)
yummmm.... sounds good i had ramen...added extra veggies and mushrooms
Ah, that must be nice Sue, having a man cook for you. : )
well, he doesn't have a job so it only seems fair (and then there is the celiac issue)
so not interested in this grid
me either, carlee, maybe I will be more interested when it cools off
If it colls off
cool* even
yeah the grid is leaving me bored too for some reason
i have 86 to go... and it is just..meh
i am going to take the woman who i believe is my boy's girl friend (its hard to tell sometimes) out to eat mexican tonight
sounds fun...
154 left but i cleverly poured water on my laptop and so am using my netbook which is a bit of a pain
85 here, you need my rubber keyboard, jmc!
oh how fun <not>
i enjoy her she is the first one in a long time who doesn't watch Fox news and believe it
if i get a desk top i may well opt for a rubber key board-- i am just waiting to see if this one will dry and then work
hehehe...how time appropriate jmc
( although..i LIKE sheppherd smith..i wish he would change networks )
egads, jmc, that would be disturbing!
it was already showing signs of dying i was just hoping to eke out one more month on the laptop
Good trade off Sue. Man in the house with no job = please do all the house chores.
it was that damn business degree they all want to be rich if they aren't already
and they wrongfully believe that being rich requires being a conservative republican
( completely aside here....i LOVe the johnson & Johnson Nurses commercials)
JMC, have a nice dinner with the "believed to be girlfriend". Always nice to get to know our son's significant others.
hello all, I am plodding along but liking this grid, 59 left, no list so far
have a nice dinner, jmc, I Love Mexican food
hi peri
ok..going to go and start preparing the spinach for the filling...
( hi and bye peri....and scarlet said..good for you...that you always wanted that...and hi ! )
:)
me too and a day like this begs for a margarita
toodles all
bye all
bye, jmc and carlee!
hi all
hi, mich1
mich! (still getting used to rubber keyboard - the shift and space keys are the trickiest)
Dinner is our topic tonight? My darling daughter is off to the States tomorrow for 5 weeks, so she made us all dinner tonight. Salad, butternut squash soup, garlic bread and lasagne. Another daughter made dessert but we were all so full we froze it.
sounds good, mich!
It was yummy. I am so happy for her having this adventure but I am going to miss her!
that does sound really good!
Mich, that is one sweet daughter. And one who cooks well. Safe travels to your girl, I hope her trip is wonderful.
All my kids are good cooks, but now they are growing up & moving on and I have to go back to the kitchen.
I've messed up tonight.......was having a drink with w
With a pal and said too much ....should stick with babble
Oops, that's hard concepta.
Can't believe I did it, just chatting and then oops
No
Do you trust the pal?
Is there another concepta .
Not that I remember
She's ok I'm worried about me....
We were cha
We were in a bar
Sorry forget about it....its too complicated
Well, if you need a safe place to vent, this is it. But don't feel you have to, just if it will help/
crossy be panting like a ole wolf..humidity is 74% and it feels like 36 c:(
Nothing like breathing water...
same here, crossy :-(
except it feels like 42 C
It's even muggy here and it never gets muggy here, I am right on the edge of the desert, minutes from the Dead Sea.
same here . . . ugh
could be worse i suppose,my brother is in las vegas and yesterday he told me it was 106f...but with 4% humidity
lol@ four percent..he can make beef jerky just by hanging a roast on the clothsline
was 101 here earlier and the humidity was more like 50%, Vegas doesn't sound so bad!!
i have never experienced humidity that low..have always lived by a body of water
104 is HOT but I feel all the difference is the humidity. I have learned to (almost) bear the heat, but the slightest rise in humididty and I am a goner.
I lived in New Mexico for a while, it was very dry there as well
that is where I discovered that dry cold is not nearly as bad as wet cold :-)
clue please for the ta/728
i can handle cold much better than heat,there have been many times without number that i have worked out in minus 40f..but i just die in the heat
I have a pl of ta6/18, snags
samplers of food

Hello. Just getting started. Had the heat on this morning. Now it is 68 degrees outside. Hottest part of our day. There is NO ONE in the NW complaining.
hello babble friends!
34F and raining is my least favorite weather, I think - just above freezing and wet and cold
I know I tried that....... duh
I don't do well in cold... hey all. you can have our 18-20 C cloudy weather for a couple hours' solid sunshine. *grump*

I caught secondo using my laptop when she wasn't supposed to, and she jumped up....and dropped it. The screen smashed to smithereens. I ordered a new one from Toshiba, replaced it, and now windows won't run.
oh oh... why won't it run?
:(
you replaced just the screen?
it says it found new hardware....
and won't run.
win 7?
ouch bummer trif
win 7. how ever did you guess? (snark)
just a hunch
i use xp on my rigs still
secondo paid for the new screen, but man, I miss that laptop!
that stinks.
tom wonders if you have a driver that needs updating -- or perhaps un-updating (something like that happened to me when an update broke the things that weren't in trouble before)
sometimes it is best to reformat,wipe the drive clean,repartition and do a clean insall
Trif, how come you can't use your desktop?
how could I find out?
"horsie" is so a word! LOL
okay, should go wash my hands before mother gets here...
what cross said, trifioso -- provided you have already backed up what was on the disk!
on most rigs,pressing f11 during boot up will start the reformat selection page
hi all, back to find my lasts 48 words
some do so on f3
oopd
desktop, Molly? what's that? *tech-savvy mama look*
oops even, and I will not go to the PB and no one can make me
darn dog, ran off after the neighbor's cat again. now he's "dog tired" and apologetic. *grumpy mama look*
hey peri!
thank goodness done with this grid. I'm lodging a formal protest against ne5.
here is a useful list of all win 7 f commands.....
my new desktop is an all in one cordless model with built in skye. I really like it
http://www.internetfixes.com/definitio ns/IF01424.htm
I agree about ne5 Harry.
that ne5 has been in grids before
ah, that ne 5 is a useful babblet. When I get upset I just saw, ah, ne5!
good one stid - I'm going to start saying that too.
me too :)
gotta go clean up supper. bye all!
it is an old slang word meaning nuts!
later harry!
Yes, that ne5 has been in grids before. But in my way of thinking, it's improper spelling. Glad I have one person who agrees with me.
okay, I am outta here. back later. (((hugs all)))
Hello all
hi, bf!
hi everyone
hi, natasha!
i am back after a 3 year absence
nice, bf! I did something similar myself earlier in the year.
I did too!
my flag used to be a union jack
hello all, back for last few
hi bf, welcome back
hi folks
ty
so you've moved to Canada, bf?
and hi, flosey and welki!
yes - i met a canadian woman in scotland, so here i am!
hi sue
congratulations, bf!
hi flosey and welki
just found the very appropriate as8 :-)
hope you are enjoying Canada
yes i am. Stampede in Calgary just finished
hello, bfsog, fellow calgarian!
hi welki!
just drove through one heck of a storm here .. heard they evacuated City Hall, but have no particulars
about an hour ago it was crazy, the clouds just came in, thunder sounded like a jet. im in bankers hall
i work close by, drove through all that
fireworks
well i have a modest 57 words (i was never any good) but i must dash. bye all
welki, love your icon
yay, sadie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
thanks, natasha :)
welki reads the oatmeal :)
congrats, sadie
hey, yall!
bye, bfsog .. nice to 'meet' you
bye, bf! Nice to meet you!
hi seain
i read the oatmeal? while i'm making the sign of the teaspoon?
hi, dc!
based on your icon, it would seem you do, as that's the oatmeal's style and character
hi, uuse, flosey, welki, et al
hasta, bfsog
is she on the oatmeal too? I normally just see her on hyperbole and a half
oh, in my brain i confuse those, ty natasha
ohhhh .. it's from hyperbole and a half's site
np, seain. seemed completely possible there was crossover!
both are very funny
hyperbole and a half is SOOOO FUNNY!!!!! I about died reading her story about moving with her dogs.
agreed :)
does anyone have a clue for ne7 please?
yes, that one was hilarious!
that was an excellent one. one of my faves was the one about the birthday cake for her grandfather
ne7 - nervous start + robot ending
ty, doxy
thanks doxy
yw
short stay .. bye everyone
bye, welki! hope you can stay longer next time!
bye welki, see you again
be well, welki
clue for oe7?
oe7 ends with ending of blondie/dagwood last name
"oe7" wool
ty for that one, doxy
it's been in more than one recent grid
oh, must google that, interesting seain
yw
got it thanks
and it is in the physics babblets list in case anyone wants to know what it means :-)
thanks sue
quasi-random query: any of yall ever made samgak kimbap (triangle kimbap)? If so, what did you fill with?
no seain, sorry, have not heard of it
not me, dc,but sounds like fun
I don't even know what you are talking about :\
last word, te6, before the fear words
it's a Korean snackfood variant on sushi
sorry, don't have it flosey
thanks anyway doxy
same first four letters as the fear words, flosey, but ends in a pronoun (he, she, **)
thanks sue
some sing "te6"
oh, wait further down, ty, uusue
pssst....(whispering) Hi everyone!
ty sue
hi, eeyore
hi car (whispering back)
i'm gonna do a few dishes and wrangle some food, bbl
Hi and bye dc!
Hi doxy!
hi, car!
Hi sue!
I have way too much to do and should not be here in Babble Land....but I was having withdrawal!
lol, car, i know how that is!
cannot figure out the 10. I have the 7 before and 8 after. Help please.
not there yet, doxy
Very cool pic Sue!
Me either doxy.
thx, car! Turns out it is also a clue :-)
Yup! I got it before I looked at your pic though! Yeah me!
I got the 10, doxy, do you still need it?
yes, please
it ends with a noun ending, like enorm***
(the letters run across the top of the grid)
ty sue. I tried everything but that
what does it start with?
actually that would ofcourse be an adjective ending, my brain must be dead
st, car
there is an st7, 10, 8 series
very similar to an st7, 8 pair - only one letter different
Not there yet.
first pair has to do with loud voices
second set (the three) has to do with snoring
I am really not getting any of these clues. I am sure they are good, I am just so tired. : (
you know those things you put in arteries to keep them open (st5/10)?
add either/** on the end and you have the first one, then plural
Fireworks
Yeah Doxy!!!!!
Ok sue, got those.
then change the 4th letter, get another word. plural it and also stick on the ending I clued before
and yay, doxy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Good lord ! I got it! Thank you for the remedial clues!
yw :-)
My head literally hurts now! LOL!
fireworks for me!
Yeah Sue!
I will not tell you my last word as it was a total fish
yeah sue!!
so was mine
I am going to poof. Have a great evening!
bye car
talk to you later sue
I'm leaving too.
bye, car and doxy!
thanks for the clues, I've been lurking and learning. didn't start til after work so at 99 left I'm forcing myself to quit.
bye, yarn!
and I am off for the evening myself, see you all tomorrow!
evenin babblers!
hi Eva
14 left here
bbiab
Evening all.
I was on the st's when I gave up....I'm still on them LOL Need st5-10 the 2nd and st7-28 the 2nd ....any help will greatly appreciated.
be
2nd st5: When I see that word, I think of a man yelling a woman's name in Streetcare Named Desire.
st5 strict or serious
Thanks much, Good Enough and gwen...that was Marlon Brando, wasn't it, gwen?
Yes, I believe so
I've danced all around that 7-28 the 2nd ....I know I'm looking at it...I just cannot put it together.
I don't have it yet, either
Thanks, hon.
Oh my. It means a small fish. So it ends in a diminuitive ending.
If it was a different vowel in the beginning, it may be an up-and-coming movie star
Gwen, last night someone clued it as being the last name of an actress.
I don't know that actress
Nor I.
It's most of the back of a boat + a diminuitive ending
Thanks, gwen, I've written down your clue and will come back to it later.
what exactly does diminutive ending mean? I see everybody saying that, but I have no idea what they are referring to...
Lisa, write a Dear John ***ter.
Lisa, means smaller. I know that word is just sitting there laughing at us...LOL
I kept thinking a lesser than ending and that just didnt sound right to me lol
Oh, gwenski, finally after pulling my hair out. Thanks so much.
Yay!
One stinkin' word left, and I can't see it. Anybody wanna help me with the very last word? tr5/10?
Oh nevermind. Finally.
Anybody need a clue before I go?
Congrats, gwenski
Congrats gwenski!!!!!!!
Thanks. Hearing no requests, off I go!
tr5/10?
tr + **l and water don't mix + plural letter
<SMOOCH> TY lbd
yw
must go, have to reset all the clocks. power outage...what a pain!
Hi

hey tor -- how are the philippines?
Hot ..
hm. so, apparently is most of n. america except where I live
What you doing there?
Starting up some recycling equipment ..
err work stuff again?
well, yank on the starter cord and come home! *holds out fresh home-grown strawberries and home-made ice cream*
*picture of fancy perpetual-motion machine happily bundling and processing anything you toss in the hopper*
I was thinking more of that machine that chomps metal in minutes
Should be out of here shortly - as soon as they get their generator working ..
Are you guys in the states having issues getting Air conditioners?
ah, the tropical generator trick... kerosene or gasoline or diesel?
I always think of that Bogs Bunny conveyor belt song when I see one of our systems running ..
I don't know lady -- the hot weather is not here, but seemingly everywhere else... generally they have a rush on the things in real bad heat though
LOL tor!
*Bugs Bunny*
Well tell you know if you want Daikin or Mitsubitshi air con you can for get it
It's a diesel - They're waiting for the crook - er gentleman - they bought it from to come assemble it ..
of course! and of course the person is living in a parallel universe where the timelines don't completely match up...
