Hi Jellen - how are you

2:00 am

Jellen, would you please take a look at tr8-45? I'm trying to get the same ending as the sn ...but am having trouble....Thanks

2:00 am

not tennis - showing off in front of Agassi?!

2:02 am

tr8/45 is a plural for tr7/32

Try the same ending as the dogs who indicate where game is. In other words, use the po8 as your model.

2:02 am

Hi, lynxxx...I'm a little miffed at men, except ruru...but otherwise okay...

Try the same ending as the dogs who indicate where game is.

good morning!

3:08 am

nice to see a decent-sized grid on a Saturday

3:08 am

snap, {{mrp}}

3:08 am

hi chic

3:09 am

Hi ruby

3:09 am

Roti

3:10 am

ty chic, that started me off!

3:10 am

Sorry

3:11 am

I don't mind a bit... how are you chic? And are we the only ones here?

3:15 am

I thought mrp was here. I'm ok got up in wheelchair today and went therapy. I'm just sick of the food.

3:16 am

when my husband was in hospital, I brought him food from home as he wouldn't eat anything

3:18 am

I'm on special diet don't want to screw. With that but I'd kill for a yummy medium rare hamburger

3:20 am

how long will you be in hospital?

3:21 am

'cyber passes a yummy medium rare hamburger' to chic...xxxx

3:21 am

With cheese and fries of course

3:21 am

hi dizgrannie!

3:22 am

oopsie 'cyber passes the cheese and fries as well'...lol

3:22 am

Not sure my next appt is sept fifteenth

3:22 am

hey ruby, hows things?

3:23 am

He will tell if I can put weight on that leg

3:23 am

we finally have some hot days, but I don't mind, except for the tiny biting "aoutats" which are very annoying

3:26 am

google is my friend...aoutats are mites...grrr irritating little buggers...

3:26 am

but these bite and I seem to be allergic so they never stop itching, even after a few days

3:27 am

have you tried calamine lotion or a steroid base cream

3:28 am

I've tried everything! The problem with the latest is that it is just under my eye and I'm afraid to use anything topical (or scratch)

3:29 am

the pharmacist gave me pills that totally paralyzed me and didn't stop the itching anyway

3:29 am

OUCH!!!

3:29 am

just couldn't lift my arm to scratch lol

3:30 am

ruby, take some antihystamine, they work wonders. I used to come up in great big pussy lumps when I got bitten by mossies or anything but a chemist recommended taking them and I have built up an immunity so things are much better these days

3:31 am

the pill she gave me was a very strong antihistamine and I felt like one of those people being executed by lethal injection when he is given the first med which paralyzes but keeps his mind awake

3:32 am

husband's daughter is sending some benadryl from the US

3:33 am

Hi all, I was advised by the doctor to take vitamin B1 which I take every day, the mossies dont like the taste so you get the occasional bite but it doesn't react like it used to, I spent every holiday abroad at the doctors because of mossie bites

3:34 am

what food has B1? and hello norma

3:35 am

Hi ruby... I buy the tablets from the health food shop and take one every day, miracle cure

3:36 am

ok, next stop, B1 tabs!

3:37 am

My daughter takes them also and she has had a miracle cure also, she used to swell and get hard lumps now not a problem

3:37 am

morning all

3:37 am

Morning carlee

3:37 am

hi norma

3:38 am

{{carlee}}

3:38 am

hi ruby !!

3:40 am

this is a nice grid, 125 words in about 40 mins

3:41 am

the mozzie situation here is not good and in urban areas theya re spraying for mozzies b/c of west nile

3:42 am

we don't have any mosquitoes, I guess because of all the bats but these biting insects are awful

3:42 am

but makes me sad as we dont see bats as much anymore :(

3:42 am

love the bats! they live in a cave in the cliff above our house and look like tiny black butterflies when they come into the garden at dusk

3:43 am

they have the cutest little faces...

3:44 am

they notice when I'm out tieh Ruby and make circles around us, coming very close but just out of arm's reach

3:46 am

we jsut dont see them in the cities now at all :(

3:46 am

you should go to Austin where my son is; bat-watching is a huge event, right downtown

3:46 am

i remember once the trees got big enough in our neighbourhood when i was growing up suddenly we had squirrels and bats

3:47 am

it was very exciting

3:47 am

yay, half and time to take a break. See you later!

3:48 am

Waiting for other computer to be available in order for pizza

5:18 am

O crap hope you are ok

5:20 am

fireflies, btw. Very very nice and easy grid.

5:21 am

apart from the tummy and the lack of sleep, how are you doing, chic?

5:23 am

I was up in the wheel chair today and went to the therapy room for a session with therapist. It was intesting

Ginger Ale is also good for tummy owies

5:25 am

oh great you were up :) Did it go well? What did the therapist say?

5:26 am

Yes I did quite well with all the tasks. She praised my efforts. I'm still having an A fib but the BP is low

sorry, was called away.. back now

5:27 am

well take care of you! Easy does it. Wish I could stay but I have to go. Big *hug* for you both.

5:28 am

The cardiologist was supposed to come today but he didnt

6:30 am

tx gray -- you just gave me 4 words!! :-)

6:40 am

ah, I see Meryl is in the grid today :-)

6:44 am

Good morning kids.

6:44 am

hey, scrabs!

6:45 am

I need to pack and depart for vacation but am checking in here for a bit.

6:45 am

where are you heading? :_)

6:46 am

morning, all!

6:46 am

hey, sue :-)

6:46 am

Adirondack Mtns--my favorite place in the world. That could be my only vacation destination forever and I would be happy.

6:46 am

sounds great, scrabs!

6:46 am

ooohhh, bet it's gorgeous up i the mtns!

6:47 am

*in

6:47 am

and morning, scrabs and une!

6:47 am

I am having separation anxiety about leaving the bunnies. My 23 yr old nephew will be here.

6:47 am

Hi Sue!

6:47 am

totally understand -- I really miss my pups when I'm gone :-)

6:47 am

great that you have someone who can stay with them

6:47 am

presumably your nephew knows how to take care of the bunnies...

6:48 am

I snuggled up Gandalf and Tucker but I cannot catch Miss Bea down here.

6:48 am

playing hard to get? LOL

6:48 am

btw, une, I went to high school with Meryl (she was a year ahead of me)

6:48 am

Sue, he lived with me from 16 until he graduated from college in May. Now he has an apt with friends in Buffalo. (30 miles north.)

6:48 am

really?! wow . . .

6:49 am

But like any young male he needs to be trained so I always have to give him detailed instructions and reminders.

6:49 am

:-D

6:50 am

ah, so he knows the bunnies well, good. And I am familiar with the training of young males, as you know :-)

6:50 am

the time I left my daughter's boyfriend to house/petsit while she and I went to NYC, I left a loooong list of instructios! LOL

6:50 am

(I have left mine at home for a week with the cats and dog, and everyone has survived, but it does make me a bit nervous...)

6:50 am

he did a great job!

6:51 am

I have one escape artist -- always worry that she'll make a run for it!

6:51 am

I didn't do that with my trip one month ago and the sink was full of dirty dishes, he left uneaten plates of salads in the bunnies' rooms, did not bring out the garbage for pick-up, ...the bunnies were cared for just fine though, so I shouldn't be too picky.

6:52 am

Dopey and oblivious = so many young males. I tell him that he and his future wife will thank me someday.

6:52 am

i be a big list maker LOL

6:53 am

oh well, dirty dishes seem to be unavoidable - even my 62-year-old still does that :-)

6:54 am

I survive with lists. Read "The Checklist Manifesto" by Atul Gawande, MD. He discusses how crucial list are in so many fields---airline industry, medicine/surgery...

6:54 am

will check it out :-)

6:55 am

Quick read.

6:56 am

gm

6:56 am

Hi kje!

6:57 am

wow, scrabs -- rave reviews on amazon!

6:57 am

6:57 am

6:57 am

gm une

6:57 am

It is his 3rd book. He is a surgeon in Boston.

6:57 am

Have a great vacation, Scrabbs!

6:58 am

and good morning, you all

6:58 am

morning, annie!

6:58 am

Yep, leaving soon, as soon as I leave here, get laundry downstairs, throw clothes + stuff into large duffle bag, fill cooler....I am pokey in the morning.

6:58 am

he is a good writer

6:58 am

Hi Annie + Bobby

6:59 am

Yes, he is.

6:59 am

hi scrabbs, une, sue, kje...told Bobby you said hi and he smiled..he just got up...my grandson is a teenager today

7:00 am

happy bday to your grandson!

7:00 am

Congrats. Bar mitzvah coming up or already done?

7:00 am

hi, kje and annie!

7:00 am

thanks, will pass on your greeting....was

7:00 am

congratulations to your grandson, annie!

7:00 am

teenage boy... wow

7:00 am

Little One, one of my beloved DS patients, and her family came down here to visit me last week. They are my friends too. She is doing great.

7:01 am

thanks, uu

7:01 am

Scrabbs, does she work in a workshop or is she too young?

7:02 am

She's just 2 1/2 and we are eagerly waiting for her to walk on her own. She has gained 2 lbs since heart surgery in May.

7:03 am

Oh, Little One! That is wonderful that she is doing well. She is in my prayers too.

7:03 am

She is so darn cute!

7:03 am

Bobby walked at 23 months.

7:04 am

I bet she is. Some DS kids are just adorable.

7:04 am

Her setbacks = 2 wks in PICU in Dec then 8 wks in PICU at Duke in the spring.

7:04 am

That's a lot for a little one to handle. Her parents too.

7:05 am

Certainly worse for the parents + all who love her. She will never remember those nightmares.

7:06 am

Thank G-d.

7:06 am

How are Mary's children?

7:06 am

Little kids are very resilient. They stay in the present moment and just want to play.

7:08 am

Mary's kids are doing well. They also came here with Little One's family. Mary and Little One's mom were close friends. I met Little One's mom during the funeral when we sat together at the Mass. She was a pallbearer and I did a reading.

7:08 am

Mary's youngest broke her wrist in mid-July and got her cast off last wk.

7:09 am

How old are they now?

7:09 am

The oldest and youngest will be 11 and 4 soon. The boy was 7 in the spring.

7:10 am

Oh my..time does goes on. Does the older girl remember her mother?

7:11 am

The grieving is hardest on the adults because we know what the kids are missing without Mary, and what Mary is missing.

7:11 am

Yes, very and sadly true.

7:12 am

She does and is afraid of forgetting what her mother looks like, what her voice was like, the color of her eyes, etc. The boy lost his memories for her about a yr ago. The youngest never knew Mary, just knows Mom is in heaven.

7:13 am

Are there any recordings of her voice?

7:14 am

Videos + lots of photos, but Dad is not ready to view and share those.

7:14 am

And Mary recorded audiotapes during her illness.

7:15 am

Terrible deep grief. The children will always have the recordings in time.

7:16 am

At some point, probably as adolescents, they will want to know details about their mom.

7:17 am

On a happier note, the bunnies will be fine and you have a great week. you deserve it.

7:18 am

I'll return Wednesday evening. After I find 4 more words I will get ready.

7:18 am

The pull of Babble. LOL

7:19 am

Yay. 100/165. Off I go! Enjoy the day!

7:20 am

Bye!

7:36 am

The third wh7/52 (last wh7) is an extra word on Lickety's list.

7:37 am

thanks

7:38 am

roper

7:38 am

oops

7:38 am

sorry

7:38 am

Molly, I have all the wh 7's...there are 4 of them

7:39 am

Wow, that is weird. I have all 12 w's and there is still the last wh7/52 on Lickety that makes a 13th w word.

7:39 am

I have none, if anyone wats to clue

7:40 am

there are 10 wh's

7:40 am

hi kje, wh5....war cry

7:41 am

and extend for 5 more

7:41 am

ty ty ty

7:42 am

yw yw yw

7:42 am

Again, weird. 10 wh's and 3 we's would make 13 w words.

7:42 am

ah, no making wh7?

7:43 am

ah! alt spelling

7:43 am

there are 2 war cries that end in 2 vowels, kje

7:43 am

Molly, there are 13 W...and they are all legit words

7:44 am

Like I said Annie, it's weird. The grid I'm looking at says there are 12 w words.

7:44 am

Molly, are you on babble expert?

7:44 am

Mine says 12 too.

7:45 am

Nope, regular Babble. Thank you Bea, I thought I was going nuts.

7:45 am

12 w words here too

7:45 am

Im playing on Expert and there are 3 we's and 10 wh's and they are all accepted words

7:46 am

annie - expert has 13, babble has 12

7:46 am

okay

7:47 am

Lickety, and therefore Expert, quite often has extra 'valid' words as the version of Enable that Lickety uses is more recent than Babbles. Not uncommon for this to happen Mollly

7:47 am

good evening, lynxxx

7:47 am

... is the latin abreviation for "that is" accepted on Expert as an ending for the war cry?

7:48 am

Hello Miss Annie and all

7:48 am

That would be the extra word Dos.

7:48 am

... yeah, that's it ...

7:49 am

perhaps babble is being prudish?

7:49 am

Nah!

7:49 am

So technically speaking, points are only counted for the Babble words, not the Babble expert words? Is that correct?

7:49 am

yes

7:50 am

Babble Expert is NOT connected to Babble

7:52 am

hungry

7:52 am

must go hunt and gather... bbiab

Hi mrp :)

10:01 am

10:01 am

hi all :) lickety is getting the job, it just has to be created (interim job) for him so he can take the position. I hate corporate politics!

10:01 am

I can't figure it out Nef. I take my melatonin, but am still staying awake. I have always had insomnia issues, but thought they had gotten better.

10:02 am

At least the kids are gone for the weekend....but I do have a ton of typing to do.

10:02 am

10:12 am

{{crossy}}

10:12 am

no prob peri, please do

10:12 am

hi ruby **hugs**

10:13 am

Oh crud. Didn't even see it! TY ruby!

10:13 am

i think we best get dispensation or we will all be in the pb

10:13 am

what a party that would be!!!!

10:13 am

ty ruby did not see my name in the grid;) and yes you do

10:13 am

ill b ring the vodka and the bacon

10:13 am

I believe dispensation is required when referring to one's proper name

10:13 am

it is finally hot here, so I'm drinking rum and coke

10:14 am

Yeah rum & coke!!!!!

10:14 am

that might make you sleep car.

10:14 am

Nope. Doesn't help.

10:15 am

The other night I took 2 tylenol PM and then took my melatonin and still only slept for 3 hours.

10:15 am

alcohol makes me sleepy for a while

10:15 am

OMG! Football EPL has started again!! be still my heart!!

10:15 am

I'm all bitten up by aoutats, some kind of biting mite, the only bad thing about this place

10:15 am

maybe some Ativan or the generic verson, car. that helps me

10:15 am

that's true pe**, and then you wake up at 2AM!

10:15 am

same peri, and then I wake up in the middle of the night.... is not a good remedy for sleep, only for relaxation

10:15 am

tylenol pm does not work for me

10:15 am

mm,we have just been issued a severe weather warning,t-storms advancing in front of a cold front bringing hail and damaging winds...gonna be a interesting afternoon..so if i vanish,you know my power is out

10:16 am

Chelsea are taking on West Bromwich Albion this evening

10:16 am

I have been hesitant to take a prescription sleep aid as I am the head of household with 2 kids and an elderly mom, but something has to give.

10:16 am

my family in London are all serious Chelsea supporters

10:16 am

car your melatonin levesl may be normal, if so melatonin might not help

10:16 am

i see that MM, is happening is just over an hour from now!

10:16 am

the generic version of the atavan does not leave me sleepy the next day like the Ambien does

10:17 am

Lets see if they can win their first game under Villas-Boas

10:17 am

100 left, bbl

Go to bed MR Pres.

10:17 am

am watching arsenal v liverpool... and no, don't tell me the results please

10:17 am

car - do ot use ativan as a sleep aid

10:18 am

infern, you go to bed! ;)

10:18 am

{{herin}}

10:18 am

fyi - good sleep hygeine is superior to sleeping aids in ALL long term studies... personally, I would not use any of them

10:18 am

I used stilnox as a sleep aid and did NOT sleep... nor do I remember a thing about the 4 hours of sleep walking that I did

NO Rage is epic

10:19 am

when I had chemo, my consulting MD in Boston (I was in Miami) told me to tell them to put Atavan in the drip and it kept me from getting sick

10:19 am

since my apnea has developed and i have that ungodly cpap machine the best i get is 2 hours at a time say fromm 11 pm to 1 am,then up till dawn,then a hour or so then the day begins..:/

10:19 am

ativan is a decent antiemetic for chemo regimens... we use a combo ativan, benadryl, haldol... but that is completely different

10:19 am

poor crossy :(

10:20 am

4 hours max in every 24:(

10:20 am

I was very lucky

10:20 am

what a f'er crossy!

10:20 am

but 5 min here and ten min there

10:20 am

I need (and get) 8 hrs

10:21 am

DH takes naps totalling more than 8 hrs but thinks I'm a lazy slug

10:21 am

it is like sucking on a vacuum cleaner set to reverse and having the thing blow dry air down yer gullet all night

10:21 am

too vivid, crossy! hahah

10:21 am

what a load of shite!! the game is started for us at 55 min?? all nil all, but still! I paid my money to watch this on foxtel, live!!

10:21 am

lol

10:22 am

:(

10:22 am

any clue for the wh7 after Burger Kings sandwiches?

10:22 am

they did not start the feed till 55 min in?

10:22 am

that is a rip off

10:22 am

DH needs a wack up the side of the head ruby, with a nice heavy skillet

10:23 am

too right crossy, it is a promised programe of full football of the WHOLE match and we get this?? just wrong

10:23 am

ty ouw, that gave me a bunch!

10:23 am

back. Aunt Jean was in bed and loves to watch the cooking shows Sat. AM. She just couldn't miss "Julia" today! :-) (now I need to read back and catch up with the chog!)

10:23 am

i would give them a call if you paid special for this programme

10:23 am

did anybody see the movie Chocolat where Lena Olin smacks her brute-of-a-husband with a skillet?

10:24 am

yes

10:24 am

cast iron, of course!

10:24 am

don't do it ruby!!!

10:24 am

one of my favorites

10:24 am

I think it's funny

10:24 am

i remember ruby!

10:24 am

crossy slowly backs out of the chog....

10:24 am

keep the fantasy alive ruby

10:24 am

hey, ruby -- just watched "Joueuse" -- very good film but was surprised to see that the class struggle exists in France like in England . . .

10:24 am

no, I feel sorry for him, if he wants to liken me to a marmot, sobeit

10:25 am

be careful crossy, be very careful

Crossy you take care

10:25 am

Sandrine Bonnaire was excellent and it was fun to see Kevin Kline in a French film :-)

10:25 am

for sure, une, even in our tiny village it is obvious. But since we're American, we're exempt

10:25 am

Crossy....your sleep pattern is what I have been doing the last couple of nights. Sleep until about 2 and then I am up.

10:26 am

I haven't seen it, une, but will watch for it

10:26 am

indeed car,then maybe an hour or so at dawn

10:26 am

do any of you have a 'special' story about what you did to your partner to get a point across?? One that involved some type of destruction??

10:26 am

it's out on DVD

10:26 am

Yup. Finally feel asleep after 6 and then just tossed and turned.

10:26 am

coastal scenes in Corsica -- gorgeous

10:26 am

but i fall asleep initally in less than 2 min.mrs says i have fallen asleep in the midst of speaking

10:26 am

never, mrp, I just walk away quietly

10:27 am

Nope. Takes me forever to fall asleep.

10:27 am

<-- loves Corsica

10:27 am

ok, just passing thru -- byeee *poof*

10:27 am

<----- wants to see corsica

10:27 am

when I have trouble falling asleep, I just think of 7-letter scrabble words. Works like a charm

10:27 am

howdy une...bye une

10:27 am

so, I am the only one that has thrown the iPhone, xbox and computer over the balcony???

10:28 am

Uh oh...

10:28 am

you are my ideal drama queen, mrp!! I wish I could be like that!

10:28 am

that is an expensive fight, mrp

10:28 am

I am dull dull dull

10:28 am

sometimes mrp..i want to toss it all over the side,pull the damn fuses put a nice wood stove in and a bunch of kerosene lamps and lock myself in a room with 200 or so good books

10:28 am

ok,,, maybe I am insane then... but on the night (after night, after night after night of being ignored and told I was a B, I reacted)

10:29 am

mrp, are you looking for hints to use on Lickety? I didn't do anything "destructive" to DH; but he definitely got my message about his clothes on the floor

10:29 am

The wh listed words are incorrect. Here are the correct ones: wh4/9, wh 5/20, wh 4/11, wh 5/22, wh 7/56, wh 7/52, wh 7/52, wh 8/70, wh 5/20

10:29 am

this is a lovely chog but I have to go feed the troops (small army, 2 dogs and a husband :( )

10:29 am

Mr. President - You sound like 'War of the Roses' (1989) Classic, epic fight scene between Michael Douglas and Kathleen Turner.

10:29 am

did someone give me a clue for the last wh7 or did I miss it?

10:29 am

{{molly}} with the great last name!!!!

10:30 am

nef, he got my message about his his clothes on the driveway !!

10:30 am

War of the Roses is like DH's previous wife!

10:30 am

it isn't war of the roses. not at all,... but he pushed the boundary and I pushed back

10:31 am

see,he did it wrong in war of the roses,i am the type who would get a chain saw cut the whole darn house in half and let her pick a side

10:31 am

I just kept kicking his clothes under the bed (since he kept leaving them on the floor where he took them off) until he had nothing to wear and couldn't figure out where all his clothes went! :-D

10:32 am

husband, the other day, in a fit of pique, threw a Baccarat glass on the floor. I just (quietly) cleaned up the mess

10:32 am

tell him to toss it in the fireplace like the greeks do at parties

10:32 am

Ouwac, did you see my post? The word you're looking for isn't in the grid. Well, it isn't accepted. It's in there.

10:32 am

i am not a complete biyatch, I run on that about 25% of the time, but he went well past his 'used me by' date, and I reacted to it in a way I thought he would understand

10:32 am

or get plastic wine glasses for him

10:32 am

more worried was I that one of the dogs would get glass in his foot

10:32 am

Wow. I would have made my DH clean it up!

10:33 am

thanks moooly

10:33 am

you're a better man than I, nef, I was afraid for the dogs! He would never clean it up carefully enough.....

10:33 am

I need a clue for the WH 5/22 please.

10:33 am

my mrs does not do tantrums,they do not work on me,but she has other morse subtle and more devious methods

10:33 am

bbiam... must go kick weed's butt in scrabble

10:33 am

It was kind of frustrating this morning, looking for that word. Then the list got updated, but now the wh 7/56 is missing from the list.

10:34 am

wh5 - war wh5!! or indian yell?

10:34 am

Duh. NM. Found it.

10:34 am

Car...wh5 dee doo

10:34 am

Need to take a break. See you all in a bit....unless i fall asleep!

10:34 am

crossy, I know the tactics, and they work well! :)

10:34 am

sweet dreams if you do, car....!

10:35 am

I don't care enough any more to devise tactics

10:35 am

see you all after dinner

10:37 am

bye ruby!

10:38 am

10:41 am

I guess you're right, mrp!

I am watching Rage music clips

10:41 am

*coming out of lurk mode*--fireworks

10:41 am

YAY, Annie! WTG!!!

10:42 am

it is a wh bzzz

11:09 am

Thanks, kje. I've got it.

11:09 am

Lickety says 265 for me.

11:09 am

pe7 = French for father + an atom?

11:09 am

French father + charged molecule

11:09 am

good clue rbud

11:10 am

and grem

11:10 am

yay, grem! ;p

11:10 am

Yes, but Lickety lists a 3rd wh 7/52 that is not accepted in the Babble list. And Lickety is missing wh 7/56

11:10 am

a molecule which is in many cases just an atom!

11:10 am

ohh, okay - I just checked the total number

11:11 am

I'm guessing the wh7 it has is a variant spelling of the first wh7 (change second to last letter)

No A, no play.

11:35 am

sorry Kaplan

11:36 am

11:36 am

sammy, the wh 7 is the extra word in Lickety's list

11:36 am

Oh, life is okay...Back in the dating world, which is strange...

11:36 am

oh, give it a try, Kap. it isn't too bad so far (although I'm chatting nearly as much as I'm finding words!)

11:36 am

Jellen, I couldn't imagine that!

11:37 am

so even though lickety says i need another w, i am ok?

11:37 am

Sorry, sammy, senor moment: one 2h 7 ends with a double vowel

11:37 am

yep, sammy. You are OKAY

11:38 am

thanks nef

11:40 am

sorry, sammy. I don't know what I'm talking about (and this isn't the 1st time that that's true) there are 2 wh7/52, one is making wh and the other is the person making it

11:42 am

The list has three wh 7/52 === the last wh 7/52 is the extra

11:43 am

thanks for the info, BR; I haven't listed yet

11:44 am

Concerning the wh 7's - are there 4 all together?

I have a bad joke to share...is that okay?

11:46 am

bring it on jellen

11:47 am

Two hillbillies are having lunch when a woman seated nearby begins to choke. Hillbilly asks her,"kin ya swallar?" The woman shakes her head no. Hillbilly asks her "kin ya breathe?" Woman shakes her head no.

11:47 am

OK, Thanks. If someone had po 5/12ed it out, I had alread found 3 of the 7's, two 52's, and the 56. Now I'll look for the other 52.

11:47 am

Hillbilly walks over,lifts up her dress, yanks down britches and licks her butt cheek. The woman has a violent spasm and spits out food. The hillbillies' buddy says "ya know,I heerd of that there hind lick maneuver but I aint niver seed nobody do it"

11:58 am

the "tricle-down theory" is fine br,but the rich seem to think if they make the table with nice high sides,then no crumbs will be wasted on the poor and natural selection will finish them off,then all that is left are those at the table

12:06 pm

took me years to understand,but many years a go my father was in a hard bind and we resided at a rich aunts for a bit till we got on our feet.she made my father sort church donation envelopes and mark the totals in a ledger and he was paid the going wage at the time.then one evening she came into the parlour and anounced that she had set up a charity dinner at 100 dollars a plate to help some orphans home and could we set up the hall.we watched her leave for the event,all regal and wearing a 250,000 dollar pendant.thats when i finally understood this segment of the wealthy..she is off to a 100 dollar plate charity diner,wearing 1/4 million dollars on her neck,and does not get the irony...

12:46 pm

I used to be a lawyer

12:46 pm

I am smoking in my oven today... seems to be workig well... ask me in about 10 minutes

12:47 pm

br is

12:47 pm

hey babble, do you think i have a chance at getting compensation for a needlestick from an IV in a nerve gone wrong?

12:48 pm

back but no hope for much more

12:48 pm

should i show my insurance to a doc's office i have been referred to to have tests done on my nerves?

12:50 pm

you can do it ruby!

12:50 pm

have you lost any function, Jen?

12:50 pm

oh crap... I think I left about 5 miutes too log this time

12:50 pm

hahah, kje, only have 145

12:50 pm

flavor is good, but slightly dry

12:50 pm

very limited function, nef, pins and needles in my arm all of the time

12:50 pm

I just saw a stat that said only one in six malpractice cases result in a settlement or verdict

12:51 pm

then i will be number 6

12:51 pm

why would you not show your insurance to the doctor

12:52 pm

so they don't "charge" my insurance, they pay for it

12:53 pm

yep, much too dry... drats

12:53 pm

good night

12:54 pm

do you see what i am saying, the nurse put the IV in and it must of struck a nerve and now i limited mobility in my left arm

12:54 pm

that will be a very tough case, jen

12:55 pm

You can have the pins and needles sensation for a long time. It usually does get better as the nerve regenerates I think. I had nerve damage from my foot surgery back in 2006; now have the pins and needles sensation in the foot as the nerve regrows (they are terrible slow in growing, though)

12:55 pm

have you had PT?

12:56 pm

no not yet

12:56 pm

i haven't seen the neurologist yet

12:57 pm

OK, I am off... hagd all... I need to get moving

12:57 pm

bye kje

12:57 pm

bye kje..

12:58 pm

was this needle in the inner elbow area (antecubital space)? And you should talk with the doctor about who to see

12:58 pm

did you read the article, kje? cya

12:58 pm

bye kje. Sorry your salmon is dry

12:58 pm

no it was on the topside of my left hand

12:59 pm

the nerve damage would be to the nerve beyond the needle site; so if it was in the back of the hand then only your fingers and grip would be affected

1:00 pm

yes, making it hard for me to work

1:01 pm

sometimes i get a pins and needles sesation in my whole arm

hi all, and my non-word is yooper (resident of the Upper Peninsula, Michigan, from u.p.)

back. I had to do something for Aunt Jean; then fix her a lunch. (I've never had or cooked blood sausage before and DH is off on an adventure right now; of course that was what she wanted!)

1:28 pm

nef, sometimes i get pins and needles in my whole arm, numb=y feeling

1:31 pm

have you been "protecting" it or holding it in an odd position? Sometimes that can cause that sensation too. By holding it in a protected position it can cause some swelling in the areas around the shoulder and impinge on the nerve up there

1:31 pm

back to the trouble spot

1:31 pm

the damned wh words.............. i am still missing one

1:32 pm

is it the imaginary word again?

1:32 pm

i have been wearing an wrist brace, i didn't wear last night and not wearing it now and it seems worse

1:33 pm

do you have the curds and ---- one sammysmom?

1:34 pm

i have the first 4 ok... then i have wh7/56 which is not on lickety's list

1:35 pm

Do you have the wh5 before your wh7/56?

1:35 pm

then it seems that there is a 7/52 after the 8/70 that i am missing

1:36 pm

I think lickety removed the wrong wh 7. he should have left in the wh 7/56 instead of the last 7/52

1:36 pm

yes bzz

1:36 pm

i have wh7/56 that is on lickey, is there another one?

1:36 pm

I don't have all of them yet (haven't listed, but I have the 7/56 and then 2 wh 7/52 and a wh5/20

1:36 pm

then i need a clue for the last 7/52 please

1:36 pm

Try the wh7/52 pie

1:37 pm

between the 70 and the 20

1:37 pm

or sit on a wh7/52 cushion

1:37 pm

Wh7/52 joke cushion

1:37 pm

I think that that is the fake one, sammy

1:37 pm

if you mean whhopie c9 which i say is a word) lickety says it is not a word

1:38 pm

it is spelled with a double vowel, sammy

1:38 pm

whoopie

1:39 pm

i have that one

1:39 pm

my list says i am missing a 7/52 betweenb the 8/70 and 5/20

1:40 pm

THAT is the extra word that BR told you about

1:40 pm

it's a fake

1:40 pm

then why do i still need a word

1:40 pm

i see what you mean sammy, it is not taking the "ie" one

1:40 pm

so i cannot complete the grid

1:41 pm

this is so frustrating

1:41 pm

The ie one is NOT counted in the grid.

1:41 pm

what does the grid box say you are missing? Word tiles and stats)

1:41 pm

correct bzznbea

1:42 pm

(sorry, I haven't listed yet so I'm trying to help while still in the dark)

1:43 pm

it says wh4

1:43 pm

on this page, check your Word stats list; is it a 7 you are missing for sure?

1:43 pm

but i have both 4.s

1:44 pm

refresh?

1:44 pm

Do you have 3 we4.s?

1:44 pm

i tried refreshing

1:44 pm

no only 2

1:45 pm

You need 3

1:45 pm

is there another wh 4?

1:45 pm

All we4/8

1:45 pm

i think one of the wh7/52 should be 7/56 as it is not listed

1:47 pm

thanks bzz-- it was the damned we4/8 that i was missing

1:47 pm

Good!

1:47 pm

YAY, sammy!

1:48 pm

i think i will go for a head bang up against the wall and calm down

1:49 pm

thenks again ( s'mom slowly shuffles off hanging her head and enduring the smirks of chuckie and sammie cat)

1:49 pm

sammy, it's Okay. we all do that

1:51 pm

Correct list of wh words: wh4/9, wh 5/20, wh 4/11, wh 5/22, wh 7/56, wh 7/52, wh 7/52, wh 8/70, wh 5/2

1:57 pm

3:37 pm

every time I go out to move a (trickling) sprinkler, there's a mad flurry of squirrels, chipmunks, doves, cardinals, finches, chickadees, etc. -- they're really suffering from the heat and lack of rain

3:37 pm

i bet... there is a creek right behind me, should check and see if it is dry

3:38 pm

the trees along it are still very gree, so mayb not

oh thanks Nan, are the 7's all connected?

3:38 pm

No mosquitoes

3:38 pm

snap! babrab -- was just thinking the same thing

Fireworks, thanks guys

3:38 pm

3:39 pm

BR we have LOTS of mosquitoes

3:39 pm

the 5,7,7,7,8 are all related

3:41 pm

well back to my book, bye for now!

3:41 pm

remember, we had worst flood in our history 2 years ago . . .

3:41 pm

bye, lin :-)

3:42 pm

too hot here for skeeters... literally, none out there

3:42 pm

pups giving me the "WE NEED TO PEE" stare . . . back in a mo :-)

3:42 pm

Corp of Engineers really caused some problems with their policies

3:43 pm

make sure they pee where the flowers need to be watered

3:43 pm

A lot of humidity too, kje?

I have a question, can you tell me why steam comes up through the pavements of NYC?

3:45 pm

No idea, Jivingjenny0

3:46 pm

through the grates

kje, I realise it comes through the grates but what causes the steam?

3:47 pm

there are an awful lot of basements, subways, pipes (plumbing, HVAC, electric, etc.) and other assorted utilities and infrastructure under that city. I'd guess the steam has to go somewhere

3:47 pm

It's the steam heating system in Manhattan/ New York that you're thinking of. Steam is generated by power stations underground and piped into buildings for heating, cooling or power. The steam from manholes, etc is a build up of condensation and drips hitting boiling pipes and evaporating. It's a pretty dangerous system and pipes blow under pressure fairly frequently sending up boiling steam. give me good old gas central heating anyda

3:48 pm

there ya go

3:49 pm

sounds right to me, too

Thanks BabbleRabble that seems a good explanation and one that my brother in law has been trying to find out for ages. I told him it would only take me a few minutes lol

Thanks BabbleRabble that seems a good explanation and one that my brother in law has been trying to find out for ages. I told him it would only take me a few minutes lol

3:50 pm

<---- being reminded of the famous scene in The Seven Year Itch :-)

3:50 pm

there's a statue of that scene in Chicago, I think

3:51 pm

Its a pretty iconic scene, Java. I absolutely love that movie :-)

3:52 pm

Taylor Swift just tried re-creating that in concert. It didn't have quite the same effect. : )

3:53 pm

I *think* I just read something about it just being put up - bigger than life, too. And people can peek underneath, if they are so inclined

3:53 pm

no pun intended

3:54 pm

LOL, Molly. Taylor's biggest fan (my daughter) showed me the video. Fair play to Taylor....she soldiered on!

3:56 pm

Did you see the pic of my Suzie with Taylor?

3:57 pm

I did Soodle, it's adorable. At least Taylor was professional enough to have dance trunks on under that flouncy skirt, "just in case".

3:58 pm

Apparently, the scene in "The Seven Year Itch" had to be re-shot because Marilyn was wearing see-through panties the first time. Enough said.

4:00 pm

According to the Taylor Oracle (Suzie) they were magic knickers. (The 'suck it all in' underwear). Though why Taylor Swift needs magic knickers is a mystery to me. Theres more meat on a butchers apron than on her!

4:07 pm

There I go. Killing the chog again.

4:08 pm

eop

4:08 pm

Somebody has to take responsibility, Soodle

4:09 pm

Hi Gwen, Hi Wht :-)

4:09 pm

Hi everyone

4:10 pm

we're all just in awe of your extensive knowledge and know we can't compete...

4:12 pm

My knowledge of Taylor Swift is confined to a medley of three songs that our community band played, for the purpose of attracting tweens. Still haven't listened to her sing them.

4:14 pm

My 16 yr old daughter is obsessed with Taylor Swift. She met her in Dublin at Taylor's only Irish gig. She claims it was the best night of her life. I'll try to put the pic in my profile.

4:14 pm

Hi everyone

4:14 pm

We did manage to convince some girls to sing along with us at one of our concerts. Let's see, White Horse, Love Story, and something else.

4:17 pm

Not sure if I was sucessful changing my icon...

4:17 pm

hi, all! busy Saturday for me...

4:17 pm

Yes we were, soodle

4:18 pm

I can still see my beloved cherry blossom tree. Hi Sue :-)

4:19 pm

I see the cherry tree in the chog, but a different picture when I click on your handbag

4:19 pm

and I was reading the earlier discussion of Marilyn Monroe; there is indeed a giant statue of her (in that pose) in Chicago.

4:19 pm

There are many photos and articles about it; here is one: http://theweek.com/article/index/21739 3/chicagos-beyond-kitschy-marilyn-monr oe-statue

4:20 pm

or if you google marilyn monroe statue chicago, lots of things will come up.

4:20 pm

Chicago... yet another place on my list to visit. My brother was there in July & said it was an absolutely beautiful city. Le sigh.

4:20 pm

Personally I have mixed feelings about it; seems a bit, well, rude.

4:21 pm

and soodle, if I refresh babble, I see your girls :-)

4:21 pm

I'll be in Chicago in September for a convention, but don't know if I'll have the time to see the statue.

4:22 pm

Yikes!! 26 foot tall?

4:22 pm

Well, it's right on Michigan Avenue next to the river, java2, so if you're downtown at all it will be hard to miss.

4:22 pm

indeed, soodle, it is quite the thing.

4:23 pm

soodle, what does your daughter's T-shirt say? (I'm guessing something related to Taylor?)

4:24 pm

I might pass it on the way from my hotel to McCormick Pl., but my days - and evenings - are a bit full.

4:24 pm

do you know which hotel, java2?

4:24 pm

I'm in the Best Western

4:26 pm

'I'm A Proud Swifty' is on her T shirt. (She has a Twitter account with that name, apparently). And Wow, at 26 feet, hard to miss is a bit of an understatement!

4:26 pm

there's a Best Western Grant Park, which is reasonably close to McCormack Place - if you're in that one you won't go past Marilyn as she is north of the river

4:27 pm

Yup, that's the one. But we will be taking an architectural tour (I think on/from the river), so I might see it then

4:28 pm

oh, the river architectural tour is great! You should see it from there. (and even if not, the rest of the city is very interesting :-)

4:29 pm

It's not my first time in Chicago, nor the first time for the river tour. But I do enjoy seeing what's new since I was there last. It's been about 4 years, I think.

4:30 pm

Some years ago, Dublin City Council erected a statue in honour of Molly Malone (made famous in the song Cockles and Mussels). http://tiny.cc/7n8ha. There was outrage at the amount of cleavage displayed by Ms Malone!!

4:30 pm

I don't know what they would make of Marilyn!!

4:30 pm

was the Trump Tower done when you were there before? (it's done now...)

4:31 pm

The last river tour, we had a docent who used to work at SOM and she knew a lot of dirt - stuff you don't ordinarily hear. Lots of fun. I don't think the Trump Tower was done then.

4:31 pm

well, in Chicago's defense, it is a temporary installation; last year they had a similarly-sized American Gothic (the farmer and his wife with the pitchfork)

4:32 pm

Well, if Milwaukee can have the Fonz, and Minneapolis can have Mary Richards, why not Marilyn?

4:32 pm

Oh right. I didn't realise it was temporary. What becomes of the statues when they are removed?

4:33 pm

ti 5/10 plz

4:33 pm

Molly's have been known to display cleavage on occasion. : P

4:33 pm

LOL.. Mary Richards, as in Mary Tyler Moore?

4:33 pm

Actually, I think American Gothic was the farmer and his daughter...(no, there's not a joke there)

4:34 pm

Yes, Mary Tyler Moore as Mary Richards, throwing her beret in the air.

4:34 pm

LOL, Molly

4:34 pm

I loved Carlson the doorman in that show......

4:34 pm

ivesy, I have a plural that ti5/10

4:35 pm

ty!

4:35 pm

MollyL.... I'll bet there is a Malone in your family tree if you search hard enough!

4:36 pm

Experiencing hunger pangs. Bye!

4:36 pm

dunno what happens to the statues, soodle...

4:36 pm

and bye, gwen!

4:36 pm

Happy munching Gwen :-)

4:37 pm

Bye!

4:37 pm

Well, between that song, and my boyfriend Desmond and his barrow in the marketplace...I should really have a wheelbarrow, shouldn't I? Oh-blah-dee

4:38 pm

life goes on...

4:39 pm

5:28 pm

A great time with the grands. We are going swimming now

5:29 pm

Thanks Molly (I think). Are you in San Fransisco, Bich?

5:29 pm

Have been for the last 9 days. I sadly return home Monday

5:30 pm

I'm actually in San Mateo, south of SF

5:30 pm

We usually don't spend time in the city

5:31 pm

<-----Pea green with envy. SF was my absolute favourite city in the US. That seafood chowder in the sourdough bread features in my dreams.

5:32 pm

Still very very envious!

5:33 pm

Anytime anyone says "pea green" I launch right into The Walrus And The Carpenter".

5:34 pm

sing out, Molly

Still with the Lewis Carroll?

5:34 pm

that does not look right. Sing out loud, Molly

5:34 pm

First Bichon gets me thinking about Seafood chowder, now Molly gets me thinking about Oysters..... sheesh!

5:47 pm

Can not believe next month will be the 10th anniversary of 9/11...

5:47 pm

I know Bzzn....still feels like yesterday on some days.

5:48 pm

My one and only visit to SF was in March 2007. We left a damp, drizzly Ireland, and found ourselves in brilliant but not too hot sunshine in SF. I just fell in love with the place.

5:49 pm

SF is also often drizzly, or at least cool, and foggy

5:49 pm

Good evening to my fellow babblers! How is everyone?

5:49 pm

By the way, congratulations to all the finishers! YAY!

5:49 pm

I love it there too, soodle. I was there in March, 1999.

5:49 pm

Hello Min! Welcome!

5:50 pm

Hi Min.

5:50 pm

Hey, Min.

5:51 pm

Where did that Z come from?

5:52 pm

Great clues in your story as always Min! TY!

5:52 pm

My goodness... 10 years since 9/11? Its such a watershed in so many people's lives.... I find it hard to think its been 10 years. RIP to all those who lost their lives.

5:53 pm

You're welcome car.eeyore. I gave up on grid already

5:54 pm

Truth be told, I'm not looking forward to all the recounts of that day. It was a pretty scary time around here.

5:54 pm

SOODLE!!!! Quit sitting on the return key!!!

5:55 pm

I have mixed emotions about it. I think people have forgotten and have become so callous. I think it might be a good reminder of what is really important.

5:55 pm

Soodle has passed out at her keyboard again.

5:55 pm

But I do agree, it will be very hard to relive all of it over again.

5:55 pm

Good point Car.

5:55 pm

Yes, it was. Hubs and I had only been married a year. I had no idea that anything of such magnitude had occured until I returned home. Hubs grabbed me up and gave me the biggest hug.

5:56 pm

I can't even blame the cat for that... I have no idea what happened. I'm sorry.

5:57 pm

MollyL,I'll po5/12 you in the right direction for the PB

5:57 pm

Hello uusue2! How are you? You picked another good theme for today. Did you do tomorrow's theme as well

5:57 pm

Yeah, off I go.

5:58 pm

I can only speak on my viewpoint in America, but it seems for a while we were united. Now it seems like petty shit and money is the only think that anyone cares about. I, myself, believe that the country has just about imploded. In some ways I feel that the terrorists accomplished what they set out to do.

5:59 pm

I'm going to accompany Molly. In penance for my keyboard fail.

5:59 pm

thx, min! I gave sprite a bunch of ideas but I don't think she's using them all at once

5:59 pm

Oh ho! Up to no good in the PB are we!

6:00 pm

Ssshh Molly. They will all want to come.

6:00 pm

car.eeyore can join you because of her viewpo 5/12.

6:01 pm

*Cough* Sputter* Um...saying penitent prayers in the PB.

6:01 pm

Ugh. Oh Well. Time for dinner. BBL.

6:01 pm

bye, car!

6:02 pm

there's a party in the PB?

6:02 pm

*Mixes drinks while saying prayers*

6:03 pm

Molly + Soodle = Par-Tay!

6:03 pm

Bless all those who distilled, Amen.

6:04 pm

Goodbye car.eeyore! I'll see you later in the chat log.

6:04 pm

indeed :-)

6:04 pm

Amen.

6:04 pm

My glass is empty. Back in a sec...

6:05 pm

Our larger, which art in barrels, Hallowed be thy grain.

6:05 pm

My glass is half full :-p

6:06 pm

Give us this day our foamy head, And forgive us our spillages, As we forgive those who spill against us, and lead us not to incarceration, But deliver us from hangovers, For thine is the beer, The bitter and the lager, Forever and ever

6:07 pm

Amen

6:07 pm

got lots of clues from min's profile - thanks, min!

6:08 pm

Now that I have said my bed-time prayers, I can go off to bed. Bless you all. (and thanks Molls :-) )

6:09 pm

You're welcome uusue2.It has been awhile since I did one.My summer job prevented me from doing stories.

6:09 pm

night, soodle!

6:09 pm

Goodbye Soodlebum! I will see you tomorrow in the log

6:09 pm

ah - I thought I had just missed them. They are great!

6:09 pm

back for my last 13 - night Soodle

6:09 pm

*Sprinkles holy water and faerie dust in Soodle's wake*

6:18 pm

Hello all, I finished earlier, but here to clue for a bit if needed.

6:25 pm

6:29 pm

thanks. uusue

6:30 pm

Congratulations meliae on finishing early! Good for U!

I am popping back in.

6:38 pm

Hi redturtlehead! How are you? Welcome to the grid.

hi minver.

6:42 pm

Hey red! How goes the recovery?

6:43 pm

hi again, red, and hi, champ!

6:43 pm

Hello ChampFit! How are you doing? Welcome to grid.

6:43 pm

HI uusue!

6:45 pm

just had to chase a few kids out of my driveway - it goes from the street through to the alley, and apparently they thought it was a thoroughfare. Which it isn't.

6:46 pm

I spent the afternoon at Laser Quest with a passle of 12 year olds. I'm getting old and crochety...this last kid is killing me!!!

6:47 pm

been there, done that, glad my "kid" is now 21!!!

6:49 pm

Yeah, I spread them way too far out. No patience with this last one. Although it might be easier if we weren't in a drought with temps over 100 every day!

6:50 pm

Indeed, champ! I only had the one, but was 38 at the time...

6:51 pm

I was 36 with the last one. If I started that late, I woulda been one and done too!

6:53 pm

The wife of one of my colleagues had 3 children after she was 40 - I would be dead, I think!!

6:54 pm

No kidding! Nothing but harder as you get older. My brother started at 43. He has a 4 and 2 year old, and they're kicking his butt!!! I laugh. ;)

6:54 pm

I bet!!

6:55 pm

I had my first two in my early twenties, and my third in my early thirties. No WAY I could have any of that after 40.

6:55 pm

Having grandchildren makes you realize why you have offspring early in life.

6:55 pm

I had my first at 21. He

6:55 pm

<--- may not live long enough to have grandchildren

6:55 pm

He's dating someone with a 6 month old. I might be an insta-grandma one day. ;)

6:55 pm

I was close Champ. I turned 21 ten days after my first was born.

6:56 pm

I was 31, 33, 35, 36 when we had our 4 - they're great adults today, have 2 grandsons, both born to moms in 40s - everyone hail and hearty and very happy

6:56 pm

and hi everyone

6:56 pm

I was 31 & 36

6:57 pm

hi all

6:57 pm

hi, flosey and sue!

6:57 pm

Hi all! Where the heck did Red go?

6:57 pm

and hi again molly!

6:57 pm

For me, pregnancy was so much easier when I was in my twenties.

6:57 pm

maybe all this talk of children and grandchildren scared her off?

6:57 pm

lol

6:58 pm

TOTALLY AGREE Molly! World of difference between 21 and 36.

6:58 pm

my pregnancies were a breeze

6:58 pm

Amen that Champ.

6:58 pm

also, Enable obviously does not have a PhD, or ho**er would be a word (it is the person who gives someone who is being awarded their PhD their ho**)

6:59 pm

my pregnancy was just fine, although the birth itself was rather difficult

6:59 pm

good word usue

6:59 pm

Do not speak of enable to me. I want to smack it.

6:59 pm

With a fish, Champ! I'll be right beside you!

7:00 pm

I'm at 105 and seem to be a bit stuck...

7:01 pm

88 left for me, which means I am 2/3 through, which is my own personal benchmark for when I can list, which I have now done.

7:02 pm

I haven't listed in a week or more. Just sit here picking away...

7:02 pm

I find it helps me get over the frustration bump.

7:03 pm

Yes, I'm sure. I find it stresses me to fill in the blanks. Or maybe I've been an underachiever lately...that makes more sense!

7:05 pm

hi everyone, clue for the tr6.21, the first one?

7:06 pm

On a positive note, there were no A words in today's grid. Hoo-ah!

7:06 pm

prefix for three + *** on a grecian urn

7:06 pm

(it's also in the physics babblets list)

7:07 pm

HATE the A's!!!

7:07 pm

ty, UU

7:07 pm

personally I think that any word that begins with a vowel is inappropriate

7:08 pm

and don't get me started on words that start with two vowels. hello all

7:08 pm

agreed...hellow peri!

7:08 pm

hello...sorry!

7:08 pm

hi, peri!

7:08 pm

and two of the SAME vowel are the worst!!

7:09 pm

indeed, uusue

7:09 pm

Oooo, yes. : P

7:10 pm

tada! finito!

7:10 pm

YAY LBD!!!!! *relurk*

7:11 pm

7:23 pm

CRAP! sorry!

7:23 pm

nice try, champ :-)

7:23 pm

typo on top of it!

7:28 pm

Used in a sentence: Champ's eyes droopt as she attempted to finish the grid. : )

7:29 pm

Say what you will Molly...the one i was going for was a word! :)

7:30 pm

hi wht, champ, Moll, uuse, and everyone else.

7:30 pm

But you stopt before committing a PB offense!

7:31 pm

7:31 pm

Heya Mab

7:31 pm

Yes I did! What's in the PB this evening? Anything good?

7:31 pm

hi, mab!

7:31 pm

hi again. 95 left to find yet

7:32 pm

Same here Nef!

7:32 pm

I'm in good company then! :-)

7:32 pm

I am down to 38. The grid is big but it seems mostly well behaived.

7:33 pm

hi wht, nef, mab, molly, champ (cuz i didn't say so earlier) and UU.

7:33 pm

31 here but I have been listing for a while

7:34 pm

still holding off on the list. I have nothing for the 4th column O yet...help?

7:34 pm

I have been listing for a while as well.

7:34 pm

hi lbd and wht. I've been in and out all day; I hope to finish this grid (it would be the first one I've done and finished in about a month!)

7:34 pm

oy4/11, what you say 3 times when the judge comes in

7:34 pm

What the baliff says when the judge comes out

7:34 pm

Of for goodness sake!

7:35 pm

Ty Molly!

7:35 pm

and then again with a different ending consonant

7:35 pm

Unless you're Flip Wilson. Then you say "here come de judge"

7:35 pm

it seems like a nice grid, but I'm concerned that I have only eight 7-letter words. I'm going to the list.

7:35 pm

Sounds way better!

7:36 pm

I'm low on 8's.

7:36 pm

don't forget the -ier ending - it doesn't occur as often as it might, but sometimes it pops in and surprises you

7:36 pm

Obviously I've missed several. have some though...

7:37 pm

I have 6 of the 8's, only 2 of them are not plurals

7:40 pm

stats for E in second column for nbs

7:40 pm

7:50 pm

good evening from cambridge

7:50 pm

wh 7/52 john wilfahrt was known in polka circles as one of the great wh 8/70

7:50 pm

Hello Dorens

7:50 pm

Oh...liquor!

7:50 pm

ok, fireworks with one blank space in expert???

7:51 pm

Lickety has an extra word today. Congrats Sue.

7:51 pm

the third wh 7/52 is and extra in lickety's list

7:51 pm

Hi Dorens

7:51 pm

ty nef

7:51 pm

hi wht... was in east arlington earlier.. waved to you from everett st.

7:51 pm

Hello, Dorens

7:52 pm

I can't believe I get BaRa's wh john clue.

7:52 pm

And there is no wh 7/56 in Lickety's list either.

7:52 pm

hello babblerabble, how are you?

7:52 pm

So that was the breeze... :^)

7:53 pm

oh well, i guess lickety is fallible (not infallible?)

7:53 pm

mab, your age must be showing. ;-)

7:53 pm

the first wh 7 is the wh 7/56

7:53 pm

yup, cause there wasn't much else breeze, least not when i pulled in

7:54 pm

that I actually know something about polka music... what's wrong with me? Jews don't polka.

7:55 pm

no we don't, but we know about it, learned folks that we are

7:55 pm

That must be the explanation, dorens. thank you.

7:56 pm

Do you also do the schottische, mab?

7:56 pm

I'm surprised yoni isn't in the dictionary. It's Sanskrit for the female genitalia

7:56 pm

They don't? I didn't know that (I've listend to Klezmer music for a long time and thought that there was a resemblence

7:56 pm

* not saying that goyim are less learned... don't want to start a flap about being a snob or anything. that was a JOKE*

7:57 pm

funny bichon... not a joke? it IS

7:57 pm

Nef, is Auntie in a better frame of mind at all?

7:57 pm

<---Irish Shiksa takes no offense. : )

7:57 pm

hahaha! good sense of humor, that molly has!

7:57 pm

I wouln't joke about female privates

7:57 pm

Barn dances were big deals years ago.

7:57 pm

I took it as a joke.

7:57 pm

bichon. you go straight to the penalty box then

7:57 pm

It works in the grid, bichon. Off to the pb.

7:58 pm

no no , what i said was a joke. then i asked if bichon was joking... cause of her yo** indiscretion. confusing myself and haven't even had a sip of wine

7:58 pm

It does! It showed red when I first put it in. Okay, slink

7:58 pm

Dang it! Bichon gets the booze!

7:59 pm

mab, AUnt Jean is dying; she's now living with us. Her 92 year old bossy, walker-using sister just left yesterday. I'm so glad she's gone! AUnt Jean is loved and with us (her family) here

7:59 pm

I think I deserve it.

7:59 pm

I think I deserve it.

7:59 pm

Hello Dorens! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid

7:59 pm

*sllinking off to 'fridge for a brewski*

7:59 pm

oh nef... it's a mitzvah (check with the jews as to what that means). i am fine min, how's by you?

8:00 pm

Can I get a clue for the de6,27?

8:00 pm

{{{{{nef}}}}}

8:00 pm

My monkeys are wilting.

8:00 pm

to take the curls out of your hair, why

8:00 pm

Undo a chemical curl Wht

8:00 pm

*wht

8:00 pm

sorry wht. too soon for me

8:00 pm

(sorry, fingers have minds of their own)

8:00 pm

Sorry to hear about your Aunt Nef.I just lost my G-Ma

8:01 pm

I know nothing of Jewish words or traditions. :-( Raised in a small MN Catholic/Luthern town and no exposure to different religions. I'll have to look that up, Dorens.

8:01 pm

You'd said a little while ago that she was quite depressed due to her nutritional status. Just wondering if she's still feeling that way. I mean, of course she knows she's dying, but at 90 plus...

8:01 pm

ty uu and molly. I just could not see where that last 2 point tile was going to come from.

8:01 pm

sorry to hear about your grandmother, min!

8:01 pm

Maybe i should get my hair done more often.

8:01 pm

it's a good thing nef... doing something good for others. a mitzvah. don't know if they count them up in heaven or what, but karma kind of thing maybe?

8:01 pm

I am well Dorens.I just got back from taking dog on a walk.I have never walked him this late in the evening.

8:01 pm

I think that de word is STUPID!

8:02 pm

I tend to get it cut about every 2 or 3 months whether it needs it or not.

8:02 pm

(wasn't raised with any kind of religion, just jewish traditions, and never knew the word before adulthood)

8:02 pm

Thanks uusue2. She lived a good long life. She was 93.

8:02 pm

might mean blessing?

8:02 pm

Aunt Jean is only 86, mabs. Between the Congestive Heart Failure and then the fire in her building and the depression; she's managed to go too far down the road to come back even with my trying everything

8:03 pm

sad nef... and condolences to min as well

8:03 pm

oh, sorry, nef. And so sorry Min about your loss.

8:04 pm

I'm sorry for both of you too. It's never easy, no matter how expected it may be.

8:04 pm

Sounds like my Mom Nef. She's 87 and sleeps a lot of the time

8:04 pm

So sorry to hear of your loss Min. (((Min)))

8:04 pm

mitzvah actually means something one must do, like a law, but we use it more as 'good deed'

8:05 pm

I just looked up that mitzvah word, Dorens. I guess I think that we have her here because we love her

8:05 pm

really mab? never knew that!! thanks

8:07 pm

that's what I just read: that it's actually a moral deed for religious duty or an act of kindness

8:07 pm

And a Bar or Bat Mitzvah comes from that.

8:07 pm

yes nef, of course you do, . I visited my beloved aunt juliet (actually ex husband's aunt, but we used to be very close and i do love the woman for sure) in virginia monday and tuesday... drove down a whole lot just to see her, she had a mastectomy recently and she's nearly 89. So her son told me on the phone it was a mitzvah and i said, i was doing it cause I wanted to. that's all. And we really had a blast

8:07 pm

(((Nef)))) you are one of the good ones.

8:09 pm

LOL, Molly! I wish that I was one of the good ones! :-D I think I just need to take care of people all the time!

8:09 pm

clue for the ey5?

8:10 pm

ey5 similar to eagles nest

8:10 pm

I came home from the hospital on my 3rd day post-op after my hip surgery last month and tried to take care of Aunt Jean right away!

8:10 pm

ey + ** p is what you say when some has deceased + repeat the third letter

8:11 pm

oh nef, was that smart?

8:11 pm

ty dorens and doxy. I never would have gotten that one.

8:11 pm

i guess i mean was that wise? of course your intelligence isn't in question, but your good intentions and altruism can sometimes get in the way of doing what's best for you

8:12 pm

probably not, Dorens. At least my family tried to slow me down; but they couldn't get her med schedule straight

8:12 pm

but if you don't take care of yourself you're not helping the others-- learn to be a wee bit selfish, honey. I can teach you!!

8:15 pm

I'm doing great now, Dorens. But I did realize that I couldn't do everything for Aunt Jean after that 1st day

8:16 pm

OK, last one. pe7,32 for fireworks, please.

8:16 pm

glad you're ok

8:16 pm

French father + charged particle, wht

8:16 pm

you're wonderful nef. Poor Aunt Jean... Yet she's so fortunate to have family.

8:16 pm

8:18 pm

8:18 pm

well done wht

8:18 pm

and thanks for that, BR!

8:20 pm

wow. lickety's list sure helps today!

8:21 pm

nef, I recommend hospice if you don't already have it. They can help a lot.

8:21 pm

Lickety's list helps every day, Dorens. :^)

8:21 pm

thanks for that, BR. We have Hospice coming to see Aunt Jean and they have given us some of the same info

8:22 pm

true, but i'm just clickety clacking along now that i have it..

8:22 pm

hospice was so helpful when my dad was staying with me his last few months.. don't know what i'd have done without them

8:24 pm

Aunt Jean is DH's Aunt, btw; the 92 year old Aunt (her sister) was telling us that Hospice was stupid. I ignored her

8:24 pm

good thinking nef

8:30 pm

babrab, you are such a great resource... have you ever thought of gathering your wisdom, resources, etc and creating a website?

8:30 pm

Be well, Sie

8:50 pm

Greetings!

8:50 pm

Hey there, origami.

8:53 pm

hi origami

8:54 pm

Hello origami!How are you doing? Welcome to the grid

8:55 pm

I'm hanging in there. How are you Min?

8:55 pm

I lost my Grandmother, but I'm ok. She lived a long life

8:55 pm

Oh, sorry! It's always hard.

8:56 pm

Your dog on the right has the same markings as mine.

8:56 pm

is there an re6/18 word between re5/10 and re7/28?

8:56 pm

Oh, dear Min I am so sorry to hear that. May God bless you and keep you and your loved ones.

8:57 pm

Thank you gapeach1066 and origami.

8:57 pm

sorry to hear of your news min

8:57 pm

Thanks JenMO16

8:58 pm

epode

8:58 pm

re6/18?

8:58 pm

The one on the right is a foxhound/pitbull mix ... one on the right is a black and tan coonhound.

8:59 pm

oops ... one on th left is a coonhound

8:59 pm

re 6/18 word is re5/10 word + a hook letter JenMO16

9:01 pm

I have a King Charles Cavalier & he's blenheim colored

9:04 pm

So how stupid am I?I did a load of laundry before. As I was putting the laundry into my dryer,I realize I had forgotten to put soap in the washing machine. So do I re4/5 the whole thing again or hope water rinsed it good enough? I hate to waste all of that water again.

9:11 pm

I guess I'd just let it go unless it was very dirty clothing, Min. My high efficiency washer uses *maybe* 1-2 Tbls of soap anyway

9:12 pm

There are people who say that you need very little soap to wash clothes. A lot less than most people use. I suggest letting it go.

9:15 pm

Minver, I love Cavaliers. They are little sweeties

9:15 pm

Thanks! Off to go put "dirty" laundry into the dryer.

9:16 pm

I love Cavaliers too. Never heard of'em until I got one

9:17 pm

Just think of how the happy little agitator and water lifted all the dirt out of the clothes. And you're not stupid Min. : )

9:17 pm

Actually, I've seen Cavachons, Bichon mixed in

9:19 pm

It seems Cavaliers can be mixed w/any breed of dog.

9:23 pm

Phantom words for me today were opinion & torpedo.

9:24 pm

min- i am not sure what you mean on re6/18, before the second re7/28 word

9:25 pm

or the one before 2 re7/28 words

9:25 pm

Sorry JenMO16.I probably clued the wrong one.I only have 1 re 7/28 word so far. I gave up on this puzzle.

9:26 pm

oh okay

9:27 pm

re 6/18, before the second re 7/28 is a person who pays a landlord

9:28 pm

Another re 6/18 word is re plus ti 4/4 word JenMO16.

hi stid

10:59 pm

Thanks, stidmama. Where in the world are you?

11:00 pm

how are you doing Nef? all healed up again? running half-marathons, I expect...

11:00 pm

in the pacific NW peach -- are you in GA or China right now?

125 left

11:01 pm

Oh, I'm still here with humidity in full swing. Take care.

11:01 pm

LOL, stid!!! NOT quite yet! still using a cane most of the time; but can go for short distances without (just til I start limping; then I must use the cane again)

11:01 pm

go egbok go!

11:02 pm

good for you Nef -- that's excellent. An advantage to the cane for me was always the amazingly buff upper arms... :-D

11:05 pm

STID!!

11:05 pm

mcurl!!!! *considers the irony of only seeing the 15-mile away friend on a server housed 1500 miles away*

11:05 pm

ti 5/10 pls

11:06 pm

crazy isn't it!

11:06 pm

Carmon and I were thinking about hitting the farmers market maybe tomorrow

11:07 pm

ooh! that would be excellent! They have some nice new craft booths this year.

11:08 pm

I can't find that one red, sorry

11:08 pm

found it thanks stid

11:09 pm

wanna share? LOL

11:09 pm

I usually go home saturday night but she's working on a cake for an anniversary party next saturday and I'm staying over again

11:10 pm

that sounds nice, mcurl -- did you get all set up for the coming year then?

11:11 pm

well, we're still moving stuff over and trying to determine what "furniture" will fit after all 30 student desks and chair are in.

11:11 pm

Hey--North Thurston SD/Seven Oaks Elem. is going to be hiring a 3rd grade teacher

11:11 pm

oh, ick. That is really a tight squeeze... I am glad to be subbing this coming year instead of trying to do the whole shebang

11:11 pm

it's the plural of ti4/4 stid

11:12 pm

:-D So I saw! there are actually several available positions out there -- too far to drive through traffic for me right now.

11:12 pm

thanks red. fish!

11:13 pm

oh darn--it's for my granddaughter's class!!!

11:13 pm

LOL even better! I am really more suited for older kids, I think. 3rd grade would be nice though... *thinks about all the cool things I could do with a class of 3rd graders*

11:14 pm

well, if you're planning on subbing perhaps you'll get over there.

11:14 pm

I also know NThurston has a mentoring program for new teachers, and that would be really nice, too.

11:16 pm

I know, the teacher she had for 1st/2nd loop was a first year teacher and she was really pleased with the program. She got moved to the 3rd/4th loop for this year (jordan's class) but the first grade class sort of exploded and they are going to have 4 classes instead of 3--so jordan's not going to have the teacher she had the last two years---darn; but a good opportunity....

11:17 pm

HA! Halfway!

11:17 pm

indeed, that does sound like a fine opportunity.

11:17 pm

I only have 26 left and I doubt I'll finish---no babble expert since by laptop took a nosedive!

11:18 pm

I will look, but not likely to jump... feeling I want some time to "gel" before going full time.

11:18 pm

wh 7/52 pls the third one. it's my last word...help!

11:18 pm

understand....my nephew subbed a lot this last year and is having trouble finding a job....pigeon-holed himself into Music 9-12 and nothing else!

11:19 pm

there isn't a 3rd wh 7/52, it's extra on Lickety. And Lickety missed the wh 7/56

11:20 pm

red there are actually only 2 wh7/52 and one 7/56; lickety's list--I heard/read in the chat was wrong

11:20 pm

i have the 7/56.

11:20 pm

luckily I have marketable endorsements, but I need time to be available to the family for a change. First-year teaching I know takes a lot of time.

11:20 pm

i need one more W word

11:20 pm

Jordan just came in and said she's taking a break from her paint by numbers because "momma is saying bad words and I don't want to listen"!

11:21 pm

*gasp* poor kiddo!

11:21 pm

momma is trying to make gum-paste roses for the cake!!!!

11:21 pm

ah, I know which words she is choosing! LOL

11:22 pm

thanks for those two wh 7s, btw

11:27 pm

earlier in the week she was tackling roses from butter cream frosting....glad I wasn't here LOL

11:31 pm

:-D

11:31 pm

I am totally fading out. I have a bit of a cold, so going to sleep early tonight. (((Hugs and choclits for all))) *poof*

11:43 pm

Dang! 20 woords let to find and I cann't stay awake! Good night and Happy Babblinng ALl!
