1:20 am

??

1:21 am

got it thanks

Hi jilli.

Your dolphin is there.

Oh Laura would love that theme!

1:23 am

hello neil -- I asked you something last night but you had gone (silently). Have you ever read E.L. Doctorow's "World's Fair"?

1:24 am

did you clue that on porpoise neil?

1:24 am

Talk like a pirate isn't the theme here tomorrow, though -- it's Westford's birthday.

1:25 am

Nay, t'day be Talk Like a Pirate Day, matey.

1:25 am

I thought it was always Sept 21, Laura!

No, it's one I intend to read though.

Why do you ask?

Today is, Laura?

1:27 am

I'm enjoying it now, neil -- thought you'd like it.

I'm sure I would... I've heard about it.

Laura's been a pirate on Google+ recently. She had a very interesting priate name too.

1:30 am

I'm not liking this grid -- loads of phantoms

Find out what your pirate name is: http://www.piratequiz.com/

1:31 am

http://www.talklikeapirate.com/

1:32 am

Arr, that's Cap'n Frog Lady Cassandra McKenzie, not Laura, ye yeasty codpiece.

Haha! Should I tell them all your OTHER pirate name?

1:39 am

One more word outta ye, ye scurvy dog, and I'll tie ye t'the mizzen mast and shave yer belly with a rusty scupper!

Yikes!

1:46 am

Yikes? Yellow bellied swab. Time t'walk the plank!

*gulp*

1:48 am

Well, shiver me timbers, the Frog Lady blathers up a mighty storm, begad.

1:50 am

Aye, I can be a bit rough before I've had me evenin' nipperkin.

1:51 am

And make that CAP"N Frog Lady, poltrooness!

1:53 am

That'll be a dry day in Davy Jones's locker

1:56 am

Arrr, that'll be thirty lashes fer ye!

1:59 am

and I tied marshmallows to yer cat-o'-nine-tails, so they'll stick to yer pantaloons afore ye can swish a blow

2:00 am

tic toc tic toc tic toc .........

2:02 am

talk about smores from hell

2:02 am

LOL scouser

2:02 am

talk about smores from hell

Haha!

2:04 am

(the little buffalo is here too)

2:04 am

The joke's on you Jill. I'm not wearing pantaloons. :P

2:05 am

hussy!

2:05 am

Thanks for the fun. I have to go to bed though.

2:05 am

Haha!

2:05 am

is that a peg leg .. or are you just happy to see me?

Haha! Thanks for the entertainment, you two.

2:06 am

Good night Babblers.

2:06 am

night all.. have a great restful night

Good night and sweet dreams Laura.

2:08 am

night Laura and ruru -- and neil?

And ruru.

What about me?

2:09 am

I thought you might be going to bed too

soon I will.

But I'm drinking a tea. That's kinda cold.

2:10 am

the tea won't keep you awake?

Tepid, which is cold for tea.

Heck no, there isn't much caffeine in tea at all.

Coffee would keep me awake, yeah.

That's why I don't drink that too late in the day.

I do in the mornings though. Helps me wake up.

2:13 am

there's more caffeine in tea than you think, I think ;)

2:13 am

Brits have tea first thing in the morning to wake them up.

Well I can drink it right up until bedtime and fall asleep right away, no probs. Not coffee -- that proves it to me.

I'm not sure about that. They just drink it because they drink it I think.

It's the thing to do over there.

2:14 am

Flosey does that too, neil -- and I wonder where she went...fell asleep on the keyboard maybe.

They have pots of tea on the go all day.

She'll have key impressions in her face.

Hello. I need help please. I need an S 7 an idea?

s7,32

2:15 am

had to leave to put drops in hubby's eyes, then got into jammies so I won't wake him when I come in, also took time for tea

Sorry -- st7,32

2:15 am

Not really, neil. Remember I was a Brit kid. My parents had tea as a wake-me-up, then coffee after breakfast.

Cheers

And it's the past tense of st4,4 just above that.

2:16 am

hi herin

Howdy

2:17 am

glad to see you're awake, flosey

Mine had coffee because tea didn't have the same effect. Go figure? It's always been that way for me too... need my coffee in the morning.

2:17 am

nbt

Do you have a clue for it please. i seem to have lost my mind

Never mind

Thanks though and I am done

2:18 am

surprisingly, jilli

2:18 am

congrats herin

http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Does_tea_hav e_more_caffeine_than_coffee

I think this grid has every phantom and not word in it

2:19 am

I didn't suggest it had MORE caffeine...

2:19 am

I agree herin

Neil Think Geek made a coffee cake

It seems like you did?

But anyway, there's the info... it's interesting. I didn't know the amounts before this myself.

Not as in coffee cake but as in so much coffee eyeballs vibrate

2:21 am

has 3 busy days - 2 daughters of a friends (one from Toronto and One from Hawaii, took them around a bit and to the Fair of course - love doing it but it is a bit much for me

Any way I see that dinner and the cats will not get themselves done. Have a great day.

2:23 am

What I intended to say is that tea has caffeine in it -- maybe a fair amount but not necessarily as much as coffee -- not negligible, though.

For the "wheels" theme... can that refer to a vehicle, as in the slang term used for a car?

Oh yeah, I know that... and I said it does, just much less than coffee. But you seemed to disagree?

2:23 am

I use decaf coffee anyway ;)

All I know is tea does not keep me away at all, but coffee sure does!

2:24 am

tea at night always put me to sleep

I see. :)

Awake, not away. Geez!

2:24 am

Wheels can mean any kind of wheels you like!

I can't type anymore.

Ok. I have a funny picture of some "wheels" we travelled in last year... a bus with something interesting hanging from the rear bumper.

2:25 am

sounds like fun...

Haha, it's in my Flickr album jilli.

Hang on and I'll tell you which number photo it is.

Photo #42.

2:30 am

oh, dem golden flippers...

Yep.

Oh, a bicycle would work too.

2:35 am

I found a great bicycle wheel but the picture was a .gif so the white background came out black and it was almost invisible here.

2:38 am

over halfway

2:41 am

down to 10 here and I'm off to bed, goodnight all

2:41 am

Hey all :) Neil, just sent you an email :)

2:42 am

wow flosey -- that tea must have worked wonders!

2:42 am

am very drowsy now

2:42 am

hi boat

2:44 am

Ha-lo :)

2:45 am

Estonia is here twice but still doesn't count

2:46 am

morning all

Hi boatierra! :)

2:46 am

Howdy! :)

2:46 am

hello Ishult

Just enjoying a video my brother posted a few minutes ago on G+... Christina Aguilera live. Incredible. :)

2:47 am

80 words down (quickly), but no sign of the 8's & 9....any clues been given?

What a voice on her!

as8,45 -- a + gravelly, "past tense"?

2:48 am

I haven't seen any 8 or 9 clues but I got here late

2:49 am

oops -- late with that remark too!

at8,45 -- past tense of the at6,18.

Late with what remark?

Oh, nm. :P I'm out of it.

2:50 am

I'm not actually playing, I'm watching Sarah Vowell on Carson Daly. Love her.

2:50 am

that I hadn't seen any 8 or 9 clues -- and you had just posted one

2:50 am

Oh now it's over and I can play.

:)

I wish you could see his post on G+ with this video clip, boatierra. Maybe I can "share" it with my circles and that way you can see it? I'll try.

2:52 am

but I didn't get the gravelly hint, sorry.

2:52 am

Please do :)

2:52 am

thanks guys, got both the a8's, still no clue about the 9 tho

2:53 am

also any idea about the a's from top left?

2:53 am

well, I have 35 to go and am too sleepy to see any more -- goodnight /day all!

2:55 am

goodnight Jilli

2:55 am

Dulces sueños jilli :)

Sorry, I was just busy resharing a post.. it's there now boatierra. Ok, let me see about those, Ishult.

al5/16, al5/14

Are the stats enough for now, or would you like clues?

Looks like I missed jilli's departure.

Oh, still online -- goodnight and sleep well jilli.

3:00 am

Oo, it worked! I can watch it :)

And listen... she's incredible. I enjoyed that.

Yes, there's a "share" link at the bottom of any posts on there, so you can share a post that one of your contacts has already posted.

Oh well since there are no signs of life here, I'm off to bed. Need decent sleep to fight this cold! Ugh. Take care everyone.

3:24 am

Clue please for in 9/54

3:25 am

Found it

3:25 am

Oh wait I'm here, the babble went off line for a bit

3:29 am

Anyone, Bueller?

3:29 am

Oh well, that's OK. I play and not chat all the time :)

hi boati :)

3:31 am

Hey mrp :)

how you going hun?

i am going to watch my darling on her first modelling assignment. Her first runway appearance! and she is the main model!! She comes out at the end, all on her OWN (the other models come out in pairs) and she then has the other models join behind her and she walks them all off

she looks bloody amazingly beautiful!! just incredible!

i will of course put the pics up on FB. waiting on her call to let us know when the show starts

3:38 am

Sorry I was looking at some other pages. I'm doing well. Good to read about your darling on their modeling assignment. Good luck to them!

she will be picked up by an agent tonight for sure

4:06 am

good morning

4:19 am

59 and out to lunch

6:00 am

morning, all!

6:02 am

... morning

6:03 am

hi, dos!

6:04 am

... Have you had your run or is that for later? ...

6:05 am

Run? I don't run; I do a bit of weights, and then later I walk to work. (if that's the run you meant...)

6:05 am

... My mistake

6:05 am

np - I used to run a lot but since having my knees replaced can't do it any more

6:05 am

... From my youth ... I see exercise and think run ...

6:06 am

ah :-)

6:06 am

... Know that feeling ... ... to many summers spent catching baseball games in ones teens and twenties means no functioning kness in your sixties

6:08 am

indeed. I've had trouble with my neck too, no fun

6:10 am

... Half way .... and time to get ready for the day .... .... have a good one ...

6:11 am

have a good day!

good morning

6:22 am

good morning

6:24 am

Yetta is in the grid again

Yep, there she is.

6:33 am

got the 9

6:52 am

dy

6:55 am

I got the 9 too. Not difficult

6:56 am

that's why I got it so early

6:57 am

but the rest ofthe grid, oy

6:57 am

not too bad today

6:58 am

sorry to disagree Annie. I'm finding it incomprehensible. Too many vowels

6:59 am

What I usually find is that when carlee says a grid is easy, I find it almost a foreign language

7:00 am

then there are those Babblers who finish a few minutes after the flip

7:00 am

mind boggling...dart is one of them

7:01 am

I'm sure they have written a computer program which helps <ggg>

7:04 am

All the grids are easy. Some are just easier.

7:04 am

I think their brains are wired differently to mine and they have fingers that type at warp speed.

7:05 am

Mine type at warp speed, except the wrong letters

7:05 am

Hi BR and Haz

7:45 am

7:46 am

hi river

7:46 am

Hello college student. How are classes going?

7:47 am

7:47 am

i LOVE it scrabs

7:47 am

( hehehe..college..that sounds funny here )

7:48 am

Iwould love to be a student again, more so if it were pass/fail.

7:48 am

hello carlee and peri and scrabbs

7:48 am

You use "university"?

7:48 am

college here is like ur... hmmm..i dont know what it is there

7:48 am

I would just take the pass...hehe

7:48 am

we use university... like.. harvard, prinston MIT, notre dame

7:48 am

sheesh, a babblet, ty

7:49 am

Well, we ALL attend Babble University!!

7:49 am

need to get my flower back. will do it later

7:49 am

state college? is that what u call it? here is community college... u get a diploma...but not a degree... university u get a degree

7:50 am

There are colleges and universities but we say "going to college" or "getting a college degree."

7:50 am

The difference between a college and a university is that a college just offers a collection of degrees in one specific area, while a university is a collection of colleges.

7:51 am

the longest word I have is a 6 ,m help with longer ones pls

7:51 am

in9

7:52 am

that holds true here too... I am at brescia university college...but our "college" or community college does not offer a degree... u can get a diploma...

7:52 am

I always thought that a college offered only bachelor's degrees, while universities also offered graduate degrees

7:53 am

At 36/75 I must get going. Annual visit to doc. I HATE being the patient.

7:53 am

Hello...

7:53 am

(speaking from, shall we say, experience)

7:53 am

That's what I thought too, Sue, and GM.

7:54 am

and good morning all!!

7:54 am

Hi Jellen. One of our patients, 22 yr old college kid, was just diagnosed with melanoma on face, had surgery, waiting for results on nodes. I thought of Tim.

7:54 am

well... my "college" has graduate degrees....its just different nomenclature i think..between the countries..

7:54 am

hi sue

7:54 am

7:56 am

Well, may he have peace & comfort and be painfree. It IS SO sad and "unfair."

7:56 am

yes..exactly PAIN free...

11:47 am

good clue Molly (and my age is showing again!)

11:48 am

Ms. Braxton is a better clue, but I'm never sure how popular she is/was

11:50 am

you gave the better clue (for me anyway. I don't remember * Braxton)

11:51 am

She had a short rise to popularity. "Unbreak My Heart" is probably her most memorable hit.

11:54 am

I was definitely not into music at that time of my life! Working full time nights with 2 pre-teens back then (I had to google her)

11:58 am

45 words left and can't see any more; need to go do some housework and will BBL. Happy Babbling, Everybody!

1:37 pm

wow, nobody's been here since no**?

1:39 pm

hi Sue

1:39 pm

Just got back too.

1:39 pm

hi, hego!

1:39 pm

I am finishing my (late) lunch.

1:40 pm

Enjoy!

1:40 pm

ha, just noticed that I am over half way!

1:40 pm

YAY!

1:50 pm

Sue, wishing you happy memories of your Mom today.

1:51 pm

I just got back from visiting my Mom. It's so difficult when they are very old and very set in their ways.

1:52 pm

Been there, done that Bichon

1:52 pm

It is tough.

1:53 pm

She's 87 and lives in assisted living. She's on the highest care level. But, yet, she keeps falling and hurting herself. I want to get someone in her apartment to be with her all the time and she refuses.

1:54 pm

Everyone I know has been through this

1:54 pm

Aw Bich, I'm sorry you have those concerns about your Mom.

1:54 pm

My brother in laws family finally just hired some one whether she approved or not.

1:55 pm

And it's worked out very well.

1:55 pm

I hadn't been able to reach her for 3 days by phone. It turns out she fell and sprained her ankle. Nobody had called me

1:55 pm

Very common.

1:56 pm

I feel as if I am a bad daughter because I keep badgering her

1:57 pm

You're just concerned. No guilt, please.

1:57 pm

thanks, molly! she does fade in my memory with time, but I wish she could have lived to see her grandchildren - she always wanted then.

1:57 pm

*them

1:58 pm

That's too bad Sue.

2:00 pm

and bichon, it is really hard to take care of our parents! I have tried to get my dad to get one of those call buttons and he absolutely refuses. We have compromised on him keeping his cell phone on him (and charged) at all times.

2:00 pm

That's not right Bich, you should have been informed about her injury.

2:01 pm

I agree and the staff has apologized, etc.

2:02 pm

It's like little kids, tho. It's impossible to watch every minute.

2:03 pm

But why they wouldn't call, I don't know.

2:03 pm

She also won't use her O2 regulary or wear her emergency call pendant

2:03 pm

hi again. Just came back in and had to read back in chog to see what you guys were talking about. My Mom died when I was 8 (she was 32); DH's Mom died 38 years ago when she was 52. That's one of the reasons his Aunty is so special to us: she's the closest thing our kids have to a Grandma

2:03 pm

But the exact same thing happened to a friend of mine.

2:03 pm

I think it was slipped. They usually do call

2:03 pm

will they move her to a higher level of care whether she wants it or not, if she is not able to care for herself well?

2:03 pm

That's so sad Nef.

2:04 pm

You have to do what you think is best Bichon.

2:04 pm

I think she's at the highest level of care. I can, and am willing to hire a full time attendant but she refuses.

2:04 pm

ah, nef, your DH's mom and mine died close together and at similar ages (mine was 50). And to lose a mother at age 8 - that must have been really had.

2:05 pm

I do have power of attorney and can take her out of there and place her in a skilled nursing facility close to me.

2:05 pm

Why don't you go ahead anyway Bichon.

2:05 pm

She might find she likes the company.

2:06 pm

Of a companion, that is.

2:06 pm

Sue, when DH was so bad last year; we couldn't afford one of those emergency call buttons; but I made a little sling for the cordless phone and that worked great: it was always on him until he was able to be back up and around and his balance was good. (He can't figure out how to use a cell phone at all).

2:06 pm

My mother doesn't like company and she fears having a stranger in her room because she fears someone will steall her valuables. There are no valuables

2:07 pm

Very typical.

2:08 pm

bichon, what are the rules for assisted living in your state? We found that Aunty can't be in assisted living because of her diagnosis and disease progress.

tots

2:08 pm

Bich, my Mom was like that about valuables. I think it's a generational thing.

2:08 pm

Mom has cancer and is receiving hospice care. But it's not all the time care.

2:09 pm

The aides help her with her daily are and check on her. Sometimes she barricaded the door

2:09 pm

Frank's dad was the same way, bichon, and came to a not very nice end (had fallen and wasn't found for a couple of days; he survived but never made it out of the hospital)

2:09 pm

I don't care how old you are; the loss of a mother is bad at any age. It always leaves a hole in your heart . A nurse friend of mine's mother died at 104 years old and my friend was in her mid-80's. She totally agreed with me; saying that losing her dad wasn't near as bad as when her mother died

2:09 pm

2:10 pm

she fractured her humerus last April. They couldn't do surgery because of her heart and lungs so she was in a cast for 3 months. You would think she wouldn't want that to happen again

bichon, this choice was something my mom struggled with..and to be honest..still does. She worried that my grandmother was upset with being placed in a care facility, that she was still mad at Mom when she passed, that maybe she would have been ok staying in her home,etc.

2:12 pm

There's no logic to it Bichon

2:12 pm

My daughter is afraid to visit her because last time she spoke to her she threatened to call the police if she tried to move her.

The truth is, as much as my grandma fought it, it allowed her extra time. Because I'm sure she would not have been able to live safely on her on any longer. And, from the outside looking in, worrying about her safety constantly was having a negative impact on mom's life..Grandma, had she been healthy, NEVER would have wanted to be a burdern or interfere with mom having a full life

2:12 pm

But, thank you all

Grandma threatened me too.

2:13 pm

yw Bichon

2:13 pm

sometimes you have to do what is best for the patient (speaking as nurse!) instead of what they want. It sounds like your Mom isn't safe anymore, bichon

2:13 pm

Best of luck to you.

2:14 pm

(((bichon)))

2:14 pm

I love all of you

2:15 pm

Awwwww... ty

2:16 pm

I need to get my hair done now; BBL. Just know that sometimes it's hard to go against your parents wishes; but it might keep them around longer if they don't break a hip.

2:17 pm

parental power never fades

2:20 pm

And finished. YAY!

2:21 pm

Any clues before I leave?

2:22 pm

Okay Bye for now. Poof!

3:10 pm

Hello Everyone :)

3:15 pm

oh bichon, I just went through some of that stuff with my dad. It really is easier if the parents wants to move to a care facility, but if your mom isn't safe where she's at, she needs to have things done for her. Find a nice assistive living center and let her visit it.

3:15 pm

hi sadie

nm, got it

4:59 pm

OK, this has been a REALLY sucky week (and it's only Tuesday!) One of my colleagues, a retired philosophy professor, died over the weekend (he's all of 4 years older than I am); another colleague's son is dying of cancer and will be coming home for the last time at the end of the week (he's about the same age as my son); another colleague's father just died (after a long illness); and the daughter of one of the secretaries just died very suddenly. None of these affect me directly, but they do add up.

5:01 pm

Wow Sue, that is a lot at once. I'm very sorry these people who are in your circle have experienced such difficulty.

5:01 pm

Also, it's the 39th anniversary of my mother's death.

5:02 pm

((((sue)))) that's a lot to handle at once, even if it doesn't all affect you directly

5:02 pm

The last two (the father and the daughter) are both people in my department, too (the one with the son is in chemistry).

5:02 pm

are you doing anything special to mark your anniversary?

5:02 pm

And it does affect you, because you care about these people.

5:03 pm

no, it's been long enough that I just note it and go on, wild.

5:04 pm

It's multiple hits of sad news that remind you to hug your loved ones extra tight and not take one thing for granted.

5:05 pm

Indeed. There's a plan!

5:05 pm

it can be hard indeed sue.death is hard and i have faced it many times.my own mother passed overseas from cancer and due to bullshit paperwork and govt rules on both sides of the pond,we did not know it till she had been in the ground already for 2 days she passed in 1991,20 years this month.all we can do is remember the person we loved and to speak of them with a smile and fondness or love in our hearts and in that way give them a bit of immortality((sue))

5:06 pm

sorry for your loss, too, crossy! And it is awful when we don't find out right away.

5:07 pm

i see her still in my minds eye 1969,radiant beautiful,hair just like jackie kennedy serving up a traditional english tea for all of us.she of all things taught me to knit

5:09 pm

hehe i can from time to time still smell her hair spray,the ghost of it anyways

5:10 pm

awww...

5:10 pm

I have some pictures of my mom on facebook (one photo from 1946, when she married my dad, and one drawing from about 1970 that my dad did of her)

5:12 pm

my da taught me to fish,my mum taught me to knit,my da taught me woods survival and how to use a boat and a compass,my mum taught me how to make yorkshire pudding and bangers and mash..if we are lucky we get to carry the best of our loved ones with us for a while..i have seen those fb pics sue,she is beautiful

5:14 pm

well, my dad taught me not to be afraid of my love of science, and how to print in all capital letters; my mom taught me how to write letters and how to read. Among other things.

5:16 pm

and bit by bit,we pass along part of what we are to the next generation. one can just imagine what the sum of all of it may be 10 or 20 generations from now with our great 10x removed grandchildren...lol,crossy is blathering,time for a tea brb

5:17 pm

and time for me to go home, see you all later!

5:25 pm

a unknown public school teacher taught me to read. i cannot really see her face in my mind,but just her hands,her body shape and hear her voice.the essence of her.i remember the patience,sounding out the words,going back over a line of text again and again,all with the same patience.then one day it just clicked,almost like i have trying to use an out of focus camera and she leaned over and gave the zoom lens the perfect adjustment.hehe was no stopping me then.i had my nose in a book non stop from the time i was 7 till..well till now as i still have my nose in books.i rember the first time i went to the centre of the earth on the end of jules vernes pen,the time i did not even sleep for 2 days as i was flung into outer space with issac azimov to keep me company.sailing on a raft in the deep south with mr clemmons. i do not know this teacher but she gave me the world:) yaa for sue and all our other teachers in babble;)

5:25 pm

well put, crossy.

5:25 pm

damn typos

5:28 pm

she gave me the world and smiled at me as i gave her an apple for her desk:)

5:29 pm

my son is already asking me when i am going to get rid of my 3 cases of "dead tree" books as he says i can get them all for my reader and those ugly things are all taped together,some have elastic keeping the chapters in place,many are missing covers,are underlined in ink,pencil,highlighter,bookend bound in electrical tape.he does not know that they have been my friends in hard times,gifts from people long gone,there is one in there and he does not know it.it has an inscription to me from him when he was still in utero and 2 months away " to my daddy from baby".they may be dead tree books but many are close friends as well

6:18 pm

lol,i ramble again,need more tea

6:20 pm

i love real books. Just find the reader a handy tool.

6:20 pm

as do i sprite,my 3 bookcases will remain as they are for a long time yet

6:21 pm

but i would also be lost without my reader

morning all :)

6:21 pm

(((MRP)))

6:21 pm

I am hooked on the blasted thing. Weighs nothing, holds hundreds of books of all kinds, so whatever mood I am in, I can find a book for it... best purchase I have done in years for myself.

6:22 pm

hey mrP, good morning to you

6:22 pm

7:21 pm here and just thinking of having a drop o, spirits:)

6:22 pm

6:24 pm

hello

6:25 pm

i like gaelic or scottish for whiskey...angels tears it be

6:25 pm

I hope tears from laughing though

6:27 pm

i missed out on some of our local whisky.we make the canadian mist brand right here and the did a single malt,single cask recently and tapped off 40 bottles and the local store offered them till they were gone

6:27 pm

oh sorry you missed that!

6:27 pm

i asked about a mini cask and they said no

6:27 pm

cause then it would keep aging

6:28 pm

once it is bottled,that is it,there it stays not as many people think

6:29 pm

Nice Robert Burns mention Grem. : )

6:29 pm

but a mini cask..ahhh,it is a beautiful thing

6:30 pm

I don't know much about whiskey. Does it get better the older it gets, or should you stop at some point?

6:30 pm

charred oak barrels,give then a 1/4 turn in the cradle once every 2 months or so

6:31 pm

if it is casked it will keep aging sprite

6:31 pm

hi all, de6 pls

6:31 pm

yeah but will that make it better or not?

6:31 pm

ahh,that is the luck of the draw

6:31 pm

hi periwinkle

6:31 pm

detain

6:31 pm

de6...some people are de6ed at the border

6:32 pm

many become harsh,but some get sooo smooth it is like drinking the finest spring water

6:32 pm

yeah, sue's clue

6:32 pm

crap.

6:32 pm

de6 = hold, keep back, hold prisoner

6:32 pm

Well, I am home :-)

6:32 pm

Great clue Sue!!!

6:32 pm

6:32 pm

6:32 pm

Eat your cookie!

6:33 pm

sue always gives the best clues

6:33 pm

hi, crossy, mollly, peri, sprite, gremlinn!

6:33 pm

hey sue

6:33 pm

and leslie!

6:34 pm

last mini cask i saw offered in our store was a 10 litre one of xo brandy

6:34 pm

wish i could of got it.thing would make you money just sitting in the basement

6:35 pm

alcohol and my meds do not mix, so I only have the occasional glass of beer once or twice a year now. Miss the beer a little bit. But never was into hard liquor.

6:37 pm

if anyone wants to share any of the biggies i would be grateful :)

6:38 pm

you can actually do wine investment portfollios now.the brokers chooses amongs what he feels are the top 10 or 20 wines of any given year and is given 5 grand to purchace.it is bought,listed and stored for you and sold in 5,10 or 20 year increments

6:38 pm

the biggest is without an official paper which declares whom and how you leave your worldly goods after your death. A8 has the same core world.

6:38 pm

nice, crossy

6:38 pm

at8...at + exam + past tense

6:39 pm

yay thanks molly

6:40 pm

as8...as + **** Collette the actress + past tense

6:40 pm

a baby kangaroo bounces across the grid...

6:41 pm

first one i got crossy

6:42 pm

li am still hunting 4 more j,s

6:42 pm

the j's were surprisingly easy

6:42 pm

fireflies. Very smooth grid

remember the jo + thanks a lot in english

6:43 pm

yikes sprite that was a quick last 5

6:43 pm

yeah the whole grid went amazingly fast

yes, this grid i would have rated gentle :)

6:44 pm

am gonna love and leave you, it is 1.45 am here and I should try to get some sleep. Insomnia sucks, but at least it lets one meet great people ;)

see ya sprite, sleep deep!

6:45 pm

have a good sleep sprite:)

6:45 pm

how about this i9?

6:45 pm

remember,if ya toss and turn,grab your reader for a bit:)

i9 is missing an R in the middle to make it a well known compound

6:47 pm

ty mrp

my tummy is so bad the last day or so, need to luv you and leave you all. see you at flip

6:47 pm

tc (((MRP)))

6:47 pm

i will ponder that. the only other ones i need are a te 6/7 combo

6:48 pm

american highways also leslie..we do not call them that up here though

6:48 pm

<-- had to google the actress

6:49 pm

ah that did it crossy

6:49 pm

night, sprite and mrp!!!

6:49 pm

te 6/7 combo...exam + not off...add another vowel at the end for the 7

6:49 pm

Well Sue, I used "Ms. Tennille" earlier today and that seemed too old of a reference.

6:50 pm

that one I would have gotten :-)

6:51 pm

Colette is pretty well known right now for "The United States Of Tara", a show about a woman with multiple personalities.

6:51 pm

molly found the te6 but for the 7 i only see an i or an o and none work

6:51 pm

i tried all the vowels for good measure and none worked :)

6:51 pm

I was having the same problem, crossy

6:51 pm

te 7 ends like animated features

6:51 pm

aha! fireworks.

6:52 pm

ah! so the vowel doesn't quite go at the end.

6:52 pm

I wasn't very clear in that first clue, sorry.

6:52 pm

0_o

6:52 pm

anyway dinner is here and I may be back later (or maybe not).

6:52 pm

see you all soon!

6:53 pm

ahh found itvowel is not quite at the end ty

6:54 pm

once i get below 40 left i have to finish now:)

6:54 pm

so if i get one more word,i am here till the finish;)

7:29 pm

Hi Peach.

7:29 pm

or the ground on which your manor is located

7:29 pm

Hey there, Molly.

7:30 pm

Yes, I always forget that about my manor Mab. : )

excelletguys thanks!

7:31 pm

May I please have a clue for de6-21? Thanks

7:31 pm

as a child i was always fascinated by the kennedy 'compound' at hyannisport

7:32 pm

it sounded so big. and it is.

7:33 pm

Yes, but I always associate compound as a place for mental patients. : )

7:33 pm

de 6/21...some people are de 6/21ed at the border

7:33 pm

it sort of was that too with the kennedys

7:33 pm

de6, hold back, what a cop does to a person of interest before being arrested

7:34 pm

Thanks much, lbdawger.

7:34 pm

there may be manors,there may be compounds and es*****,but nothing compares to getting totally lost on the 100 acres of your own property lol

7:35 pm

And Molly too.

7:36 pm

the crossy compound - sounds good

7:36 pm

that was before gps unitsnow we just carry it with us and set waypoints and just back trail

7:37 pm

not that it is ours any longer but it is great for hiking and the new owner give us free access

7:38 pm

around here, western new england, people frequently get lost on our little mountains. What's to get lost - you went up, and now you go down.

ok. in9,54... /headdesk please?

ok. in9,54... /headdesk please?

7:43 pm

headdesk?

7:43 pm

if you die without will... in9

7:43 pm

sounds like U.S highways omnibus

7:43 pm

in9 is like the highways that travel across country minus the 5th letter

7:44 pm

we of course have the trans-canada highway for our big one

ummm

7:45 pm

except ours are inter-province....
