I wonder why re4tor isn't accepted?
yvw Dee
it's proper nan
a proper noun.. (trademark perhaps)
because they think it should be spelled with --er; no idea why
seder
license costs more too lol
I think they people whose job it is would be surprised to find that is a proper noun other than as part of a company name
oops -- sorry
it may be er in the US but not in Canada or Britain
not in US either
List on profile.
you're a doll neil
ty neil
wow Neil -- thanks !!!
yw :)
Hello everyone :)
hi deb
wow neil not even 1 hour in and you have finished and put up a list - amazing
Hi debjed.
ty Neil!!! Very much appreciated!
It's not a hard grid, ursh.
Pretty normal words. :)
could i have clues for the T and E in the bottom row, please?
it might not be difficult but there are a lot of words
ty Neil
ty 4 eg 5
It's a hard grid at 7am. -yawn- thanks for clues!
And none I don't and haven't run into playing a lot of boggle and other type word games.
Yes, but I'm a speed touch-typist and have played a lot of boggle type word games, so I spot and enter words pretty quickly.
Watch me at Word Racer or Letterblox sometime.
got the eg5, thanks
yw Roxbi. Yeah, I'm burned out myself and after a tea and snack I'll be crashing.
brb
missing one q and can't for the life of me think what it could be
is it the alternate spelling of tiny island?
no -- it was french four
thanks nan
thanks nan, didn't have that
205 down -- the rest for tomorrow. Good night :)
very nice nan ! good night.
flosey were you able to fix that problem?
no west, didn't have time but won't need it tonight
guess not
thanks for asking
I was so engrossed that I didn't even come up for air..also thinking about Mount Henpeck lol
jilli might know that one..
Mount Henpeck - there is such a place?
herin was doing a cryptic crossword and needed a 3 letter word for that
oh yes, I do remember
it's going to keep me up, I just know it
Back with a snack after raiding my brother's kitchen. Managed to find something in that mess.
glad you didn't try driving back today neil
No westford, not this tired. And I have a few things to do here tomorrow.
are you going to be the best brother and clean up for him?
I have a long history of showing up at friend's houses and cleaning their kitchens then cooking dinner for 3-6 people.
hi, flo, west, neil, et al
hi seain..come to my house any time
would love DC to show up here right now
hmmmm, my kitchen is clean, but i don't like to cook.
guess that's why it's clean:)
LOL bedjed. hello to you and to ruru :)
debjed stores sweaters in the oven
hi dc ru...
LOL
evening, dee.
wow dc come to my house any time
my one great-grandmother had an oven full of Cleveland Plain Dealers when she died.
evening!
thanks very much Neil for the list that'll help me later I've printed it
hi, vanilla
that's why I always look in the oven before I turn it on seain
hi dcs I've got 40 to go they'll keep
i do hope my glasses turn up. hard to read w/out them
did you ask molly? she found peri's glasses
can't keep sweaters in the oven, it's gas :)
hate glasses, but hate worse when I misplace 'em... hope you find them soon dc
first i've been on since they went walkabout on Monday.
I always find 'em when I look where I put them
i have my prescription sunglasses, which i can wear since they have the bifocal.
bet you look real cool dude
i know i last had them in Arlington, and hope they fell out in my friend's car, which i'll determine on Thursday AM
bye all for now
hope so too seain and not 'out of' the car
ty and indeed, west
bye van
bye van nice finish
hasta, vanilla, HAGD
Hi Seain.
ENABLE cannae spell. that re6 takes the other ending, not that one. hmph
And whoever else has arrived while I've been eating and reading something else.
I agree, Seain... only seen it spelled the other way. This just isn't right.
it's proper
sleepy, must go back to bed
Can't be that proper. Not how I was taught!
good night deb
no, it's not. The trademark is proper, the word is not.
I guess it's probably an acceptable alternative spelling of the word though.
g'night deb
Oh, ok.
Good night debjed.
google, says not acceptable, and no definitions for the one in enable
I should probably take that Babble Expert link out of my bio so the word list appears higher... people might miss it there.
but isn't there a difference between a re** estate agent and a re***or?
used to have to be the latter to own an agency
legally no. the former has not joined NAR, the latter has is the only difference.
NAR - National Association of Re4ors
but you'd have to be one to join?
you must be licensed to join, yes. Hence, no legal difference.
I had my license way way back when
you would just need to be able to shoot homeowners
no
homeowners are our friends
I can think of some other people who should probably be shot.
in a big way :)
Touché.
did they tell you to read the entire test first and then take it seain?
test is electronic, cannot read ahead
see I told you I took it way back when
i'm taking a contracts class now, though not required for licensure, it will be helpful
You got that email with the screenshot of our posts, right westford?
quill pens and everything
yes
Haha, I was bad. People are afraid to comment there now.
NAR is like the NRA for dyslexics westie
LOL west.
definitely
only in Texas ruru
first electronic test i took was for my DC driver license back in 1996. I was shocked to have had my choice of 6 languages for that exam.
oh, here in Virginia, too, west.
neil what was your major?
just curious
that's right seain never realized VA was such a gun totin' place
I was 11 in 1996, until the 29th of December.
Political Science, westford.
geez
NRA is headquartered about 15 minutes from my house.
wow
They have a large facility near US 50 and I-66 in Fairfax, VA
seems like it should be somewhere further south or west
yeah...like texas
they moved to Fairfax from Massachusetts Ave NW in DC.
They're here to be near Congress
I live on Mass Av when I first moved to DC
Hey all :)
hey boa where'd you go?
nifty? Downtown, Dupont, or up by the Cathedral?
lived*
they'd just need to be near hookers to be near congress no?
oh, could've been on Mass Ave no the Hill too.
I've been here, on and off :) Chipping away.
worked at DuPont Circle
Riggs Bank
Ah, yes. Miss Riggs, PNC just not the same.
eveving, boa
Evening dc :)
years later we lived in Crystal City
Crystal City, sounds like a magical place :)
many good restaurants in Crystal City.
Boa, it's only magical in that you have to know the difference between the Crystal City Marriott and the Crystal Gateway Marriott if you want to find anthing.
sure are
fireworks and thx again neil
had Pentagon City begun redevolpping before you moved away, west?
the Safeway is underground
yay dee !!
congrats, dee.
ty... the highlight of my crappy night lol
don't think so..we were there in 2000 and 2001
ty dc
oh, it was long since redeveloped by then
Oh, lol, I was quoting Phoebe from 'Friends', when her roommate at the time (Rachel) tells her that their furniture comes from White Planes and Phoebe says, "Sounds like a magical place."
1989 is when the Pentagon City of today started to come to be.
what's the name of that mall?
Crystal City and Rosslyn both have hidden Safeways, underground in Crystal City, and inside a parking garage in Rosslyn.
congrats, dee
Fashion Center at Pentagon City
ty jili!!
evening, jilli
that's it
hello dc
well huge day tomorrow, so I need to get going...
busiest apple store in the East is in Pentagon City mall
sweet dreams, dee
hope things look brighter dee
ty... me, too, west... gonna strangle my daughter before the wedding is over grrrr :))))) putting on my happy face
I guess I missed something -- what's wrong with dee?
we went to the grand opening of the one in Reston? Son and his wife flew down for it
been there and almost did that but it will all work out !!
Dee is better jili, just grumpy... knocked heads tonight re wedding invitations....
Ah, yes, the Reston Town Center store opened about then.
and that was sooo nice
wasn't even about graphics... some grammar issues... oh, well... tomorrow is another day!
i live walking distance from Reston Town Center, just off Temporary Rd
*poofing with hugs*
and a better, brighter day too :)
near the skating rink?
Back again.
stand firm on the grammar, dee!
hi again neil
Neil, did you write earlier that you were 11 in 1996?
hi again jilli. Sorry if I missed anything westford?
he did indeed, boa
but I have to go to bed -- early start tomorrow to get the ferry to Victoria
you didn't answer my question neil
safe travels jilli, hope you have fun
I turned 12 that year, boat. But for most of that year I was 11. And I did answer your question, westford.
not that one the other one
Unless you asked another after that one, while I wasn't here?
Oh G-d, I was in my 3rd yr of college in '96. Lol. Granted, it was my first year of university.
a fun trip jilli?
the skating rink is a plaza at this time of year, but yes.
I'm 26 now, until December 29th.
no before that..I asked if you were going to be the best brother and clean up his kitchen
just going to apply for passport renewal
You're a Dec. baby? Me too!
that's expensive in Canada
It isn't that kind of "mess" westford. He's just got too much food in the fridge... trying to see what's in there is "fun".
but think of the fun that will bring jilli
It's all very neat, clean and orderly but just too much stuff, haha.
oh well you'll just have to eat and eat
I hope so, west
Ummm no. I'd get fat if I did that.
hope he doesn't have a power failure
you can run
good night, good people...*poof
Oh when in December, boat?
Night jilli.
Night jilli :)
The 14th.
Oh ok, so we don't share the same sign.
Not that I'm into that. I'm not at all.
but I'm a Capricorn.
You're a Cap, I'm a Sag.
Yep.
Dec is the WORST month to have a birthday. But your week is the WORST week to have it in. You are right in the middle of the two holidays. Man.
morning all
Hey sprite!
heya boat :)
Except we don't do Xmas of course... and holidays aren't that big a deal to me anyhow.
Hi sprite. Worried about mrp. She logged in in her husband's accont earlier and was very upset... see chat log. Don't know what's wrong but it sounds very bad. :(
There's no list but I have one on profile.
hello neil. I heard he went away for a bit after an argument.
oh no! :(
No lickety today?
It sounded like someone had died... been very worried.
Oh you weren't here cause you were apt shopping. mrp & Lickety had a bit of a tiff, he disappeared for a while, she did not know where for several hours, she finally tracked him down, after calling relative and police.
No but there's a list in my profile, anike.
TY
Oh geez. Like she needs that stress. :(
yw anike.
I think it is wise to let someone have some room after an argument. If they didn't need it, they wouldn't go away.
well he doesn't either, neil. It is hard on both of them, not just on mrP.
Well yeah, true enough.
I can be like that myself... needing space.
It's mostly just for "cooling down" time.
But he was at his dad's house and he was OK.
How many words today please
yes. I know a lot of people for whom that is true.
273 gran
I'm sure but I'm thinking of her health you know? She has a hard time doing things after the surgery.
273
And dealing with that evil stalker/prick.
Thanks
Lickety deals with the same things.
And I thought it was really sweet of her to hop on here and at least say there will be no list for the time being. I'm sure they just both need time for their family and we certainly can be ignored for a while. The game is really not that important in the big scheme of things.
Yes they both do... it must affect all of them.
I have returned. Went to check emails at the pause and managed to whittle them down to 98
It was boat.
I fully agree, boat. We have done without lists for years. I am sure we can manage.
I heard there weren't even tile or word stats at first either?
hiya west
hi sprite
nope, just the grid and the chat.
WB westford.
I remember the days looooong before Lickety's lists or before the tile stat's and folks would finish the puzzle and post the stats in the chog :)
thanks neil
I kind of liked those days :)
And the word list that appears beside the grid as you find the words of course?
yes, the words you find were there from the start
It was me what?
Oh yeah... wow. You've been a member since: July 1, 2004, boat? Long time.
it was sweet of mrP, boat (I think he meant)
And September 14, 2004 for you, sprite.
I know
yes sprite... that's what I meant.
That's my official membership start. I've been playing at least a year or two before that!
how did you two find out about babble?
Oh as a free member?
for the lack of a comma, the message went lost :)
So this site has been here since 2002?
same for me, boat and neil
I think so, maybe 2003. A friend of mine introed me. I don't think she's on her anymore.
that was for sprite and boa
there was only free at the beginning. The one-time membership came later.
Oh ok, didn't know that.
I remember sprite from long time ago :)
I used to play Tangleword with VolleyMomDee and she mentioned it one night..told her I'd get her for that lol
Where did you play that westford?
I was told about it by someone who doesn't play much anymore, who told me it was totally up my alley. It was.
it's long gone now neil
I've seen a game of that name somewhere, westford.
And I mean pretty recently too.
I'll have to search and see where it was.
I don't think it's the same one because dart was a regular
he loved the speed
lol west, yes, pushers of addictings!
marigold and periwinkle are the other two that I remember from when I started out because they were/are the high scorers.
what I liked most about those days is that the puzzle was allowed to be hard. People weren't affronted by tough grids and didn't demand to be handfed.
I did meet a very dear friend there from England and her youngest grandson's birthday is today !
aw nice west :)
it's been about 9 years now..hope we get to meet in person some day
that would be really great.
maybe when my husband retires we'll go over
I was just thinking, I've been playing (on and off) this game for 9 yrs. I can't believe that!
hehehe me neither. But it has never been lost time for me. Did miracles for my english, and my knowledge of words, and of trivia.
Ditto sprite.
woot, am a little past halfway and already really searching. Looks like a nice and chewy grid.
it's nice and relaxing
good :) I have an interesting job of form designing to do today, so a bit of relaxation beforehand is appreciated.
what is that?
Ok see the photo I just changed to in my bio?
This will make you laugh westford... if you didn't see this earlier?
Note what's behind me?
I do. When was it taken?
neil, god bless you, was just about to have a hissy fit...no lickety yet....thanx sooo much
I need to design a couple of forms. Layout, artwork, etc.
and hello to all my babble friends
I'm gonna change it again once you've seen it. It was taken April 1, 2007.
hey rose :)
Ok, chaning it again now.
sprite you are a woman of many talents
Note the clothes I'm wearing in the photo... you'll see the next one was taken at that same time.
spritey.....feeling sooo much better today, and you, hun?
*takes bow* thanks west :)
Haha, ok... refresh or reload my profile.
neil !!!
Just popped in to say hello and goodnight again and saw that some mentioned Lickety. There is some sort of trouble there and mrp said there will be no list until further notice. She is grieving.
oh rose, that is lovely to hear! Am happy for you! My back is telling me I overtaxed myself... loudly and obnoxiously. Must lie down most of the day. Sneaking in some computer time :)
hi jilli, sleep well
And thank you, neil, for providing one.
You're welcome jilli. Had to... since there wasn't one.
Yes, Thank You Neil :)
I know westford. Bad huh? Probably treason, lol.
my first letter stat generator is probably still working, lol.
spritey * worried look* will you pleeeese take care?
neil do you remember what pee'd you off that day?
oh yes, rose, I promise! Don't worry. I think it is best to keep moving a bit anyway. It is not a hernia, so gentle movement can be only good.
Uh, westford... who was in office then? Isn't that enough, surely? Haha. I was working on the Hill at that time too. Just a temp assignment.
whew!!!!! and you are right, gentle ambulation is good
Did anyone notice my post that there will be no Lickety list for the foreseeable future, and that there seems to be trouble there?
I'd like to forget
So that was probably a little risky but oh well. I wasn't staying there too much longer.
I sure hope they work it out. :(
*hugs rose carefully* You just take care of yourself, dear one, you have your job cut out for you enough as it is.
wahhhhhhh no lickety????
I already knew, jilli, thanks
awwww, thanx spritey
look babblers, if lickety needs some time for himself, I think he is more than entitled to it. Same for mrP. the Babble list shouldn't take first priority.
Oh that must be painful sprite. Bad backs are very crippling. Do you know what's causing it?
I hope things there work out okay -- goodnight/day now...*repoof
yes neil, a damaged pelvic girdle and one day of taking less care than normally.
of course not but she did say she thought someone might have hacked into his account..I think
so true spritey, which reminds me...must call mrp and see how the land lies.*hangs head in shame* some friend i am!!!!
Oww. Hope that will heal ok?
she needs to talk to someone rose
you are a great friend, rose. Give her my love and tell her to email me if she wants to.
Give her our best please grannyrose?
And yeah... same goes for me?
mine too, granny
that does it, westy, will call her soonest
it will, neil. one day of overtaxing = 3 days of healing. After that, things should be back to 'normal'.
give her a hug from me
will do, all of you, i think mrp knows she has our prayers and support, but a little contact wouldn't go astray
My dad gets some back trouble now and then... tells us not to get older, says it's no fun. Great!
No, I think someone asked if Lickety's site was hacked. Mrp happen to be *on* right when that was asked. And I don't think anyone wanted to answer while she was on, so i don't think his site was hacked. It was only asked about.
*giggle* westy, have long arms, but not that long, will a virtual one do?
yes rose it will
virtual ones reach their destination just as well
okay then, will report in when i have spoken to her
I remember now you were in Sydney for your cruise
that's when you and mrp and andree had lunch..great picture of the 3 of you
thanks granny and please give her our love
yes westy, and the next one is to new zealand, where i hope to catch up with groovykiwi
hey flosey
oh how nice !!
coming up soon?
hi sprite
kiwi is big fun :D
*giggle* it's just a matter of detaching himself from his laptop and remote controls....
westy, next february, can't wait
over half way so I'm off to bed, goodnight all and thanks again neil for your list, much appreciated today
grannyrose? Please tell mrp she has email.
sleep well, flosey
will do neil
yw again flosey. Goodnight and sweet dreams.
nite flosey, sleep well, hun
Thanks granny.
Or rose?
goodnight flosey pleasant dreams
whatever, neil, so long as it isn't la4 for dinner...
lol rose
oldie but goodie, lol
I need to go to bed and figure out something new to read. Boa noite e doces sonhos todos :)
Rose is our youngest granddaughter's middle name..her dad (our son ) chose it
what you said, boat, sleep well
Night boat.
beautiful. It is such an old-fashioned, sweet name.
enjoy, boat!
her name is Abigail Rose
WHO ARE YOU CALLING OLD-FASHIONED AND SWEET??
lol
Has anyone posted a list in their profile
roflol... you, rose!
spritey, you'll ruin my reputation, really you will
very pretty name, west
our hero neil has
yeah well, I am known for that, rose ;) We all love you here, so there is no escape.
thanks sprite right now she's a 5 year old pistol
darn, and thought i had you all fooled
*grin* I said the NAME was oldfashioned and sweet.... not necessarily the person blessed with it.
it's that super woman costume
ROFLOL, spritey!!!!
you are the exception, rose... you have the name AND the disposition :)
westy, get rid of the mind pictures, they will destroy your brain
already done rose lol
too la4 for that, lol
lol, back at you
Here's the full first photo, westford... click on it to make it expand to full size: http://tinyurl.com/WH-BMND
well i'll be blowed...just got the second de8....never heard of such a thing
wtg rose! Is that he who makes life taste bland?
And here's the 2nd/present one, westford: http://tinyurl.com/WH-FUGWB
nope, to remove the fringes from the ends of cords
very nice neil were you all interns?
oh wait didn't see the 2nd one
I was a writer/gopher. I ran errands most of the time and actually got to write important letters that were needed some of the time.
for goodness sake, these e words are like a long drink of water, they go on for ever
More information/archive retrieval and odd errands than writing... which disappointed me.
But it was temporary and something to add to my resumé anyway.
Then I returned to SC and went to work for a newspaper office in San José.
that must have been a great experience
I hated that job and vented via my blogs... and that's how this online name developed!
and you do know the way to San Jose...
Haha yep, that I do. Drove that route every day for a few years.
I'm sure there are nice things about that city but I can remember looking down on it and the smog was so thick
thanks rose, found it :)
hi, i'm back
hello dcseain
morning, sprite, hi, west, rose, neil, et al
hey dcs
Nice things? Not so I noticed. I was stuck at a desk by a window that looked out on the stockyard of the abbatoir next door. And expected to create brilliant articles with no cubible for privacy, let alone secluded office... with co-workers bugging me for this and that all day... ugh. See now why I had to vent a lot in my blogs?
hi again seain
"cubicle" even... man, my typing's shot to hell.
Hi again Seain!
sounds like life :)
sounds like typical office and life :)
Freelancing has been much better, but I was afraid to take that leap. Glad I finally did though.
it does but isn't abbatoir a lovely word for a not so lovely place
Yeah I guess they think it sounds better than "slaughterhouse".
it sounds better than cattle killing fields
moooo
hush, I'll be over to milk you as soon as I can!
good luck lol
lol
Oh gawd. I'd run and hide if I were you west, lol.
<--- has golden hands
ruru would have a field day
yeah I thought this might bring him out of hiding
shh. He'll probably suddenly appear now.
Yeah, haha! GMTA?
he's really not feeling very well poor guy
my mind is not that great, but it works sufficiently, I guess
Yeah. :(
poor ruru :(
sprite have you been on when he and josh get going it's a punfest
at the ocean. Damnit sprite, try to remember!
thanks always miss that
I might have some times, west, and I have joined in a lot.
I always miss it too. I cannot believe I can be so blind to a word, but I am.
I was bemoaning that the goatman was a phantom but then I went the other way and there it was
or is that horseman?
hehehe yes this is a great grid for that
nope, goat.
horse is centaur
centaur is horse
roflollllll
we could write poems together
you thought it and I caught it
One of your favorite words is in this grid, sprite. One you were just discussing the other day.
*blink* how did that happen???all of a sudden have only 15 to go? ah, well, all good things must come to an end, i guess...
yes I know. I am a little miffed though, that atlatl isn't. It could have been.
and thanks for the de8 rose
*grin* no probs westy
wow rose, wtg!
I want that word the next time I play words with friends on my iphone
yup, firing on all 8 here...
it is a wonderful word. One of the best ever.
Just posted a poem to my profile i wrote in October 2006 as an opening for a service honouring those who died in the prior year.
Which profile Seain, Babble?
seain I did not know you wrote poetry I will look now
As Summer Ends?
yes, in here
Ok, reading it.
very nice , dcs...thought provoking
ty, rose
My dad's quite a poet.
yes, As Summer Ends
very moving seain I really like the pictures I'm seeing
have sent it to me, hope to print it, if that's ok?
That's very nice, Seain... a lot of powerful imagery there.
I enjoyed reading your father's poems too neil
You read them, westford? I don't remember sending any to anyone?
absolutely, rose :)
thanx, dcs
you didn't..remember I said I googled him and there were a few in a profile about him
from Balboa park I think
it worked, it worked, now i have a little piece of dcs in my life
Oh, thought that was jilli. Didn't realize you knew his name? Yes, he has some there and some in other places that are more private.
there, in theme.
interesting name
That poem was purpose-written to open a Samhain service, and set the tone for that year's ritual.
the Unitarian Universalist church i was a member of has an annual service to remember those who died in the prior year on the Sunday nearest Halloween.
the first Harvard commencement in 1639 was a class of such ministers
indeed so, west :)
oh, my favourite cuddle toy is in the grid
hehehe and a nice hot drink ;)
the hot drink was one of my first words :)
got that ages ago, spritey...a seasoned drinker like me would
my kinda gal, rose :)
*giggle*
which one would you rather take to bed rose?
What name, westford?
your father's first name
You said "interesting name"... not sure to who though?
neither, just my man, he fills all my desires
I was just wondering how it was pronounced
good answer rose !!
mine too... intoxicating cuddle bear
lol, westy, seeing he was standing right next to me
Just like it looks. It's a Hebrew name and it's not too common. In fact he's the only person in this entire country who had his first and last name.
oh sprite have you done the birthday movie yet?
I'm one of 35 with my first and last name supposedly... but I've found even more than that without even trying, haha. I am one of two with the same first, middle and last names though.
no not yet! Waiting for my love to set a date.
"he's the only person in this entire country who HAS his first and last name" that was supposed to say.
it should be lots of fun
I learned that there's a person in Taiwan with my same Chinese name.
I'm a state senator from Arizona
I know it will be!
always thought you were, west
You are, westford?
I mean we have the same name lol
well niow, who has ever heard of to8??? iask you....
Haha, I see! You had me wondering for a moment. :P Yep, I'm tired.
I think it's french for I'll eat my hat
errrr I have, rose... *confesses to being a word nerd*
Here... you can check how many other people in this country share your first and last names: http://www.namestatistics.com/
was I right about the definition?
grrrr one word left and of course it is an S word
yes you were, west. Close enough anyway.
I just googled myself
*shrugs* okay, so I HAVEN'T heard of it before...now i have to go to dictionary
On that's the wrong site, sorry! That only tests a first or last name. Ugh. Ok, searching again.
The site says i have a very rare last name.
Ok here we go: http://howmanyofme.com/
I mean, hat, head, neck, rings... it is all the same, isn't it
there it is. Fireflies!
congrats, sprite :)
Yay sprite !! stats on the last s word?
There are 35 people in the U.S. named Neil L******. But I doubt the accuracy of that.
whoot, fireworks!!!
WTG SPRITEY!!!!
That's just the ones they know about.
and yay rose too !!
Congrats, grannyrose!
wtg rose!
There are 720 people in the U.S. with the last name G----. Statistically the 34459th most popular last name. I personally know about 150 of those.
congrats, rose :)
I was wondering if you were named after Neil Armstrong and then I remembered how young you are
neil, couldn't have done it without your list, thanx again , mate
se5/10 was my last one
there are 1 or less people with my first and last name, lol
and it says my name is unique, and that's using my actual first name, as opposed to one of my middle names, which is what my family and friends, and yall call me.
yo5, was my last
good morning everybody
mine was a forgotten plural, shame on me. Yours was a tough one, rose.
Seain? You're the only person in this country with your first and last name.
morning, ruby
hi rubyfoo
sprite you and my oldest granddaughter have the same first name
hey ruby
Oh? So Seain isn't really your first name?
oh I love that, west
hi ruby
Hi ruby. List in my profile.
nope, it ain't
word on the wise to ruby....save it now, hun, you're gonna need it
off to rest and later on to make those forms. Bye all, thanks for the fun.
have a great day, sprite :)
nite spritey, dear. have a good one
I think my (real, sort of) name must be extremely common as there are about 100 in FB alone!
fortunately, I have many nicknames, also common, but what the hey!
What, you mean that many other people with both your first and last name?
According to this site I'm one of 35 people in the entire US with my first and last name.
yes, neil, facebook is full of them -- gives me some anonymity anyway
Yeah, true.
there are 15 people with both my names
Wow, westford... nice and uncommon.
bye sprite It's always fun to see you
I can see that though, yeah. I would've said that combo is pretty uncommon. I haven't run into your surname before.

apparently there are a lot of us around..4,533 with the last name

Having fun there, ruby? ;)
amnesty for ruby
mea culpa, mea culpa
mea culpa, mea culpa
mea culpa, mea culpa
oh, all good :) we had those, and we all do it now and again
I don't even deserve a treat in the PB; I just got too excited
ruby in duplicate.\
{{westford and seain}}
Haha, excited by what?
like my silly name
finding a bunch of words at the same time, even if they were tinies
What silly name? You mean "rubyfoo"? No sillier than my online name.
wonder why i'm sleepless tonight.
the silliest name I've heard in a long time is one of the Pat's players..
no, my real name is totally inconsequential. Would like to have a more interesting one, hence the pseudonyms
Ben-Jarvis Green-Ellis...
rubyfoo is my beloved pup's "pet" name
Happy Birthday To You
I have also gone by β online...which stands for ÎÎ, which stands for ÎеgаtÑ–vе Îеіl of course.
I don't like my first name either
I'm not crazy about my first name... mostly because it's just one syllable, rhymes with "kneel" and is so common. Blah. My middle name's a little more interesting but very Hebrew.
wow, the top A was easy, all related
do tell
i like my names.
Yes Seain. there are a few related word groups in this grid.
I saw my favorite a word the other day in lexulous: aasvogel, means vulture
I only have one top A
Oh yes, that's a great word!
vogel being bird
now, whenever somebody is a jerk, my husband and I call him that!
I kind of like "asshat" too, haha!
there's a ar4 and several ar5s, all related, an aa4, and an ae4
but the SA one isn't even slang!
OMG. You would laugh yourself sick at a post I made earlier ruby.
have 5 now seain, thanks
have to go now, again, sorry for my blunders!
be well, rubyfoo
bye ((ruby))
see you after lunch
think i'll sleep for a bit.
Oh well. Bye then ruby.
happy babbling, yall! {poof}
oh boy didn't realize how late it is
Take care!
time seems to stand still when babbling with good friends
Yep. I'm off to bed too... it's even late here!
I'd better leave myself signed in though in case anyone needs the list?
bye seain and neil
that would be nice neil
and I know I will
So yeah, I'll do that. Ok, goodnight!
good night dream pretty
**FIREWORDS** Neil, thanx for the list xx
uotas
oter
tale ales
careful guys.
morning, all!
We had these words already yesterday, but we lost the theater.
the world's a stage.....
hello everybody
I typed about 10 words into the chog this AM and remain chastened!
Lightning and Thunder and sunrise all at onec here
were they good words, at least?
here's hoping not much more rain though. we've had plenty of late. Still have many bridges out from last rounds of rain.
that is nasty, seain
we are very lucky with our weather -- still have roses and fruit
hi, kap, ruby, and dc!
good morning fine babblers.
is there something else I can use the lickety split clues are still from tues
{{sue}}
has anybody seen mrp or lickety after mon night's drama?
nope - hope they are ok! (I mean, I know lickety's around, but still...)
Lotsa drama, no?
See Mr. President's comment at 12:16 in chat log. Apparently there will be no List for a while. List in Negative Neil's profile.
what's the gist of it?
{{molly}}
I never list (or even finish, for that matter), so never see Lickety's list
This is the post: mrpresident here. There will be no clues until further notice. Sorry for that folks. I wish I could tell you all the massive greif I am feeling right now, but best I leave it till a time when i can make a sentence. mrp xox
tremendous drama, kaplan. We were all yelling at mrp to stay calm and stay home, not go out searching in the badlands for the errant husband
She was logged in as Lickety. Very strange.
and then another one: it is me west, and things are very bad, so sorry, no clues. I don't know if someone has hacked his account or anything right now. so sorry, but have to go
it was awful; she was crying and sally and hego and I were trying to help her
That second post is because Westford questioned whether or not the person posting was genuine.
Pops in. I assume mrp was logged in as lickety because she was using his computer.
well, she found him at his mom's, so that particular part of the drama is over, but I can't imagine anyone is happy
hello sally
Sorry, popping out again to collect shoes from menders :-)
They have had a lot of bad stuff recently- wasn't there arson or something on their car and some scary neighbors
we had asked her in the beginning if Lickety had family nearby as he hadn't gone out in a car, but she said no
William Blakes tyger is hear.
here, even.
arson and neighbor stuff were a while ago but ongoing; then mrp is still having bone trouble, had surgery a week or two ago and is on crutches; she also has cervical cancer. And lickety is out of work still, I think.
Yikes. that's a lot.
too much for one couple!
I just hope Mr. President has a good support group of real life people. Internet friends are great, but in times of trouble, you need real people around for support.
I can see why they are both melting down.
from what she said, the other night, Lickety had gone too far.....
Someone said yesterday that Lickety's list goes up automatically. I didn't think that was the case. I guess he was able to update yesterday, but will not be able to for a while. Time will tell.
must get my day started - will see you all later - holding mrp and lickety in my heart
isn't realtor a word???
Yes it is. No clue why Enable won't take it.
Different vowel to end ruby (not really here)
banging head on keyboard!
No, the OR ending is correct. Google the word.
Passes headache pills to ruby
Or is correct.
now THAT is weird.
Yes, but not accepted by the grid.
doing a puzzle with an illiterate dictionary is a challenge.
that is too strange....
Enable is too busy being literate in all those ridiculous foreign currency words.
and then the little tile word, not accepted, either
yay, half!
What was Monday night's drama?
the thunder is shaking the floor, but no rain here. Wherever it's raining, it must really be comingdown.
I was just pouring my coffee and the lid fell off the carafe.
Seain, look at the radar map. It's like Armageddon.
that was not monday night's drama- just a mishap.
maybe Bachman is right!
I think the rapture is happeneing, just more slowly.
wow, no kidding molly!
god: mrp and her husband were having problems and she melted down on line, put us all in a panic as we were too far away to help her
I mean, it couldn't have anything to do with Al Gore, could it?
it's getting darker here, which is weird because minutes ago it was getting lighter.
post the link to the radar map
http://www.wjla.com/weather/radar/
is an a**let a little jerk?
Storms across the river are making thunder that is shaking my floor!
i live in Reston, at west part of that map
WUSA's is more dramatic. Lots more colors. : )
whoo!
I showed the dogs the weather map and they're both barking! lol
Kap, will send ambulance, crisis intervention team and burn specialists to attend to your coffee mishap.
oh yay, flash flood warnings yet again. I hope we don't get snow through the Winter like we've been getting rain of late.
I'm going to watch yesterdays Daus on line. syl
njoy, kaplan
I'm banking on the fact that a rainy Fall will bring a dry Winter. And praying, and hoping and wishing.
i expect a cold one, what with it being a La Niña year, and am hoping it's reasonably dry.
nope, I was wrong, it was the gardener, not the maps!
last year, we had more than 2 ft of snow, all at once, in December, and then the rest of the winter was warm and very dry
snow in December is rare here. We get most from mid-Jan to early March, with lat Jan/early Feb usually being the worst in bad years.
at least it's rained enough that a dry winter won't hurt the reservoirs much.
it continued to be dry all spring, but the summer was perfect, just enough rain
we've had our coldest weather, more than once in our 14 winters, in Dec
(very bad syntakx -- eat shoots and leaves)
Surprisingly temperate climate in that area
are you in a valley?
hi dc, ruby
morning, bichon
bah. tom's making popcorn. i hope he doesn't use bacon fat. pork fat stinks to high hell
no list today I see
{{bichon}}
could i get a hint for to8, pls?
morewords is not helping me
NegativeNeil has a list in his profile, bichon
if that was for me, seain, yes, we are in the valley of Lake Annecy, much like the Finger Lakes, but much warmer
Just sttarted dc
sounds lovely, ruby
it is incredibly beautiful. If you have GoogleEarth, look up Veyrier du Lac and route de Morat and you will see the dogs running around in the garden
not strategically important here, so you can get very close
I'm going to try that ruby
I'll tell Ruby to look her best!!!!
Morning all. Looks like Shrek is lurking in the same corner as yesterday.
hello bzzn
Without my glass on this morning, I thought the word count was 700!
to8...***nados are bad storms + we do not have ade***** coverage at the office today since someone is out sick
No list?
Thanks, Molly.
lovely word and clue, molly. We can always count on you!!!!
Seain asked for a clue a while back, but I've been away from my desk. List in Negative Neil's profile.
i totally missed the rq combo, ty

:-D
having some ice cream, reading the paper, and, opefully, taking a nap! see you later {{hugs everybody}}
later, ruby!
How do y'all spell the person whose profession it is to sell a house? We spell it with an OR at the end but enable doesn't?!?!?
bye ((ruby))
Bye Ruby!
same here, car -- enable's spelling is wrong IMHO!
Enable is being ornery and not accepting the OR ending
er, car.
morning, annie :-)
It is widely spelled with an OR...Google it
OK...just checking.
HI Une:)...I dont know that sketch on SNL but it reads funny
that's how they answered the phone in the sorority house :-)
Got it, thanks Une
As a matter of fact, when you Google the ER spelling of that word, the OR word comes up. *Thumbs nose at Enable*
*standing next to Molly...doing the same*
<--- standing next to Annie...
tear
oops.
I'll make a fresh pot in the PB>...
Aha...that re word is not pertaining to real estate at all. Look at the definition.
ugh...my computer is doing that lovely lag thing this morning (nothing to do with Babble)...so some of the words I think I am entering are not. This will be a long grid!
I need help with the right hand E for NBT please? Not the single, but the one above it.
eg4/6
good morning everyone

Good morning River!
Oh! TY!
ER 4/6
And er 5/14

TY again Molly!
fine River and you?
I am good River! How are you this morning?
good here as well...
thanks Molly
: )
Lickety and mrp are listed on "who's online" so maybe we will get the list today and hopefully things are coming together in their lives. I missed the entire drama but I hope it will be alright in the end.
I have been hesitant to say...but it looks my DH and I are on the road to reconciliation!!!!!
I hope they are both well
Oh car. that would be wonderful!!!!!!!
good luck with the car...I hope all works out for you as you want it
Yes! I am VERY happy!
then we are VERY happy for you
Still much work to be done...but for the first time in a long time, I have much hope!
Glad to hear it Car.
Annie and I say good morning to all of you
Not sure what it means that Lickety and Mr. President are both on line. Not sure why she can log in as him either.
(((Car.)))) wonderful news
Hello Mom..and Annie!
Morning Mom
good morning Car.
Thanks (((Mom)))
((Mom)) good morning
good morning Molly
(((Annie))) good morning
Mom, how is your Mom and Dad?
(((RIver))) good morning.
Annie, they are really good. Thanks for asking
sometimes I leave the site up but am not on all day. that may be the same with them
Mom, glad to hear that
Mom...was there trouble?
River, I got your game request. Is this between the two of us or do we play others?
Same here, I always show that I am on
no car. I was just asking
on which game - cant remember
Oh. Ok. I have missed a few days and was worried.
Car., they are getting up in years and have some issues time to time
poker
how many words today?
I am glad they are OK.
I love poker
I knew it! Mom is a card shark.

thanks
Now come on....if you add something up again you reTO5/10 it!
I like to play cards but I am not very good at it
Hi Ouwachita!
of course I had to try that car...lol
Molly, I would love to spend some of my sunset ye4s at a poker tournament
100 left and I am already stuck....ugh....
Ah, I can see Annie now. Green visor on, determined strategy in her eyes. : )
you're welcome, Ouwachita
Poker Face Annie! I like that....
*holding her good luck charm*
there are all kinds of poker games on tv in the middle of the night
Cousin of Poke Salad Annie.
Me too River....came to an abrupt crawl at about 94...
I miss Celebrity Poker Showdown.
OK...how about help with the lower Y? I have the days of YO4....
that show was fun to watch, car.
One of my sons is a dedicated poker player. I keep hoping he will win big in Atlantic City and take care of his dear Ma.
I loved that show!
OOOh Molly, good luck to him!
As he should Molly! LOL1
And lets not forget his "auntie" carole!
oh come on....deseed should be a word
I agree.
OK. Found another one of those Y words! : )
yo 5/18, car.
Yup! That was the one I found!
The other is yo + abbreviation people use on line for their male spouse
*damn husband*
molly, brilliant
dick head
thanks Molly - that one grayed the tile
TY! Of course, I meant DE4 husband when I used it earlier!
95 to go and time for breakfast....be back later....good day everyone
lol Molly
you as well, River. ((Hugs))
Bye River!
No joke, that is what I thought people meant when they used that abbreviation. I don't know anyone who refers to their male spouse as the other one.
Morning...is there a list somewhere? I have 35 left and I'm stuck!
Hi Kim!
Wow! Only 35 left with no list?!?!? Great job!
List in Negative Neil's profile. Don't pay attention to the ones that have three letters, I guess that is a typo.
Yeah..I'm in the zone today...or was
tahnx

Actually, there are (2) de 8/45
Gak...not getting any of them.
This listeria thing is really creepy. I hope no one is eating cantaloupe.
I agree Molly. and dogs can get it too. Mine are having their shots next month
Car, one is the past tense of what they do to food to make it less saline.
Bich, I had no idea people fed dogs cantaloupe.
No, they don't get it from cantelope.
deSA4 + past tense ending won't take.
Ahhh...but the person who does it took! TY!!!!!
Sorry Car, person who does, not past tense.
Bich, what are dogs getting listeria from then?
my little Beagle mix eats ALL fruit -- me too except kiwi :-)
Got to get some work done! Bye all!
she just had her annual checkup so definitely didn't pick up any cooties from canteloupe :-)
Dogs ingest all sorts of yucky things. You don't want me to get explicit here do you?
:-D

If you did a necropsy on a dog's brain you would uncover the part "love of the putrid"

the bottom t is the ty 4/6?
good for you, Une...bye
We once rescued a Bichon who was kept in a crate for most of his 4 months. He used his crate for elimination and then consumed it. It was difficult of breaking him of that habit

How are you doing?
not bad at all,and yourself?
I'll survive :-) Not been on here much recently, but nice to play and chat again.
like i always say sally any day on this side of the dirt is a good day
True.
grids like this are a tad too big for me,so what i do is pick the letter with the most words and grind as many as i can
mrp been on at all today?
I like to pick the high scoring ones.
mrp was on very briefly to say there would be no lickety list, there was a lot of grief and she couldn't write more at the moment. It was just after the flip I think, I had done a search to see if there was any news, so you can find it in the early chat.
k
Sounded like major upset :-(
i just looked at the chog for about one hour after the flip and i see things are chaotic for them atm
Yes. I think that would have been when she posted, using lickety's id.
I assumed she was using his computer.
indeed
well,i hope they get everything sorted,they are a lovely and friendly couple
Yes indeed, but it sounds pretty major to me.
This is slow for me today, but 100 to find now.
Qs vanquished!

hey babble buddies,am reading a new author(new for me anyways) her name is Robin Hobb and i am reading her three book "LIveship" series and it is very very good.if you like sf/fantasy reading and have an e-book reader,i can offer it to you in e-pub format if any one wishes a copy
I don't, but I love sf/fantasy and am always happy for leads. Thanks.

oh - neils list is in my profile -poof
hello ursh, I learned a wonderful Afrikans word: aasvogel!!!
For folks who may be confused by it, those third letters in Neil's list don't mean anything, they are just typos. The words start with only the first two letters.
{{sally}}
hello molly-o!
why is it not taking the person who sells houses? argh!
enable spells it the wrong way!
It is if you change the last vowel, JerzeeGirl
hi again, all! between classes now, yet another busy day (must I say???)

Oh how nice, I've just found the childhood bear.
;-)
??sally??
pooh?

Yes, I suppose he was one.
Mr-Bear-squash-you-all-flat? (my personal favorite)
... theodore

... bon soir
parents had a toy/candy store, and I got one every Easter
bonsoir, dose
I never noticed the 3rd letters - now removed - real poof!
just got the bear, ty sally
when I see that word, I always think of the lingerie
can I have the stats for the 8's please?
I only have four of them, Flask, hang on.
ok thanks!
de 8/45
And another de 8/45
re8/40 and to8/55, my only two
looking for the de8's
I have an re 8/45 but not an 8/40 and I have all the R words.
may I have a hint for the de8?
Oh, my fourth one is te 8/45
if nobody else minds, that is,.....
Well, one of the de's is what you (or a man) might do to a belly dancer :-)
... a person who removes sodium chloride
That's the other one :-)
I never thought of that, had the 6 duh
De8: TIDE is a de*****nt" -- but I don't have the other one
I think that's yesterday's grid, erda
No, it's not
Oh, no I'd forgotten, but that's a 7.
what to do to a belly dancer.....hmm
That is a de7...the TIDE one
monkeys are probably too young for that
i can think of several things,but they are not in the grid:))
Ruby, to remove the decorative thing on a man's loafer
Ruby, think what a belly dancer wears (apart from emeralds) and then remove them :-)
hahah
ty sally
very cute clue
Have you got it?
:-)
got it!
these are obscure clues.. I"m lost
you will find these objects on heavy curtains as well
Ru, strippers wear ta6/18 make it a de word
Sorry ruru, I was being silly.
oh
thank you crossie
but they are much better on a belly dancer:)
I haven't been around enough belly dancers in my life I guess
is someone who is redle4 very pale?
I believe it's very good exercise.
any clues please for the de8's please?
I understand it started as a help to childbirth
is detr*** breaking an engagement?
Belly dancing? Really? !
Read down in the chat Flask, they were just clued.
Yes, Sally
Oh yeah, I can just see a pregnant woman having transition contractions belly dancing. Right.
lol,bet swivelling the hips like that would get the kids head down pronto!
not!
lol! Quivering images in my head now.
Not while IN childbirth, in preparation for...
hi folks
lol,bet they can spot kids out like pumpkin seeds!
spit
{{jbv}}
wow, belly dancing in Babble - what topics do we NOT come up with here :)
or spot, with ta6's
i have not found one yet jbv
I've had a few experiences as an observer (not a participant!) and I find it so interesting that belly dancing as a cultural expression is seen as family fare - nothing taboo or sexual about it, I've seen it at weddings, all kinds of family parties, etc.
dinner now, see you later
clue for the t that is all alone in the stats please
but no dancing :(
... ty4/6 ... a beginner
ty doe and that is NBS and NBT for crossy
dose*
now i just need 200 more words :/
Lots of topics covered in Babble chat. Apparently, politics isn't going along so well lately though. But that is to be expected.
Is there a list?
In HootOwl's profile.
Thank you
I must be off. Any clues needed before I go?
Ciao for now then.
politics are avoided often because certain people get really riled up and its best to not do that..
good morning everyone
Hi Flosey
hi Molly?
sorry, don't know where that ? came from
It's okay Flosey. Many people find me questionable. : )
Hi Flosey and all
hi Boo
ah no Molly, don't believe it
Where is there a list
hi Molly =

in Neil's bio Boo
Ty
Has anyone figured out what happened in Lickety's household?
last I heard .. he was missing.. and Mr P was freaking out.
I don't know what happened after that
Wow -- some kind of a domestic drama...
sounds like lots of pressure from a nutcase
There is a post from Mr. President (posting as Lickety) at 12:16 AM. Read it and draw your own conclusions.
wow.. how weird.. it's like a TV drama over there.. I hope she and Lickety are safe and okay.
It does seem to be the never ending drama Ru.
really...
I have to assume that Lickety is okay since it was posted that he turned up at his Dad's house. The rest of it appears to be personal issues between those two.
the biggest drama over here is I forgot the milk at the store
they are both under tremendous stress it sounds like.. stalker, doctors, and add to that kids.. sounds tough
hi, all. I've been reading the chog. MrP and family are in my prayers.
they are in ours as well
thanks to the chat for my last two blank tiles - I now have nbt.
Don't have the astronomy homework graded yet, though - anybody want to help with that? :-)
Hansel is going to be upset that Gretal isn't allowed
and the people who sold me my house are going to be upset that realtor isn't allowed!
well,if you lower the hem on your dress you can get a word that is close:)
or raise it as the case may be
Hi, and it's a lot cooler here today, yeah!
yeah, I got that one, the only hems that I need raised are the ones on my slacks (as I am quite short and the slacks are too long!)
and yay for cooler weather!
I used to be 5'4 and 1/2" and I wasn't Petite. Now I have to buy Petite
Hello all!

Mapmakers will often insert a tiny piece of incorrect information in their maps to prevent the illegal reproduction of their work. Called a “copyright trap,†the fake text might be a bogus street name or even the mapmakers’ initials hidden in the corner of a city park.

Thanks for that info.

Ah...
Morning and you're welcome, ruru.
Yep. Right here, Sandieangel.

And farewell for now...having lunch with a friend...
yw, cybernan! :)
Sounds nice Jellen! Have fun.
te 8 past tense
Uh, 200 x 200 pixel that was.
I will, Neil...she lives in town, but it's almost impossible to coordinate our schedules!
wow, a 200 x 200 babble grid would be awesome!
You know what I would love - maybe someone could figure out how to do it - to be able to go back and replay old Babble grids - you know an "archives" file
Oh I see Jellen. Yeah, I know how that can be.
I guess you could, JBV. I did the Babble cake grid in jillibus' photos after all.
you could what? ??
Scroll down to the comment I posted under this photo in jillibus' Flickr album: http://tinyurl.com/BabbleCake
de 7/40 please?
hi all, clue for the de8.45 after the one who takes out the sodium?
Neil, I see the cake - which is beautiful - and I see your "comment" but I don't know what you are talking about :) - I was saying I would like to be able to go back and find old Babble grids that I've missed in the past
Good Morning Everyone. How are you all today?
To remove ta6,18s, lbdawger.
hi Nef - how's things today?
better, JBV
Well if you see my comment under that cake photo, JBV, you can see I did that cake grid?
glad to hear it, nef
ty neil
So yeah, you could do any of the old puzzles in the archives.
neil, I'm missing something important - what does the cake grid have to do with Babble archives?
yw lbdawger.
also, thank you for the list! i wouldn't be enjoying my sparkles without it!
oh, OK, I think I see what you mean - the picture of the grid is available int he archives, but you can't really "play" it - with scores being tallied for each word, etc....
JBV. Didn't you say you wished you could do the older puzzles? Ok, well I did that cake grid in the photo... so what's stopping you?
Oh not that way, no. But you can still do it if you want to.
de 7/40, please? (last de word)
yes, if I'm feeling masochistic enough one day, I may try it :)

Hi Neil
hello again
hi ruby - I'm running off now, have to get ready for my Italian class -
Hi Boobear and rubyfoo.
hi jbv's back and neil and boo and inge
188 and I give up. Good night everybody
Good night ruby.
Feels weird to be saying "good night" at 10:54 am.
Just consider it nap time
slat
helllo all. I am having a ME day. Treated myself to a massage. It was devine. Went to a new place and everyone was warm and welcoming. Will go back again. Then had sushi for lunch and a fruit tart with a cream base for dessert!
slated
Shoot! Sorry! Off to PB again for me
back for the last 40 :)
sounds wonderful, peri. I'm going to have a ME days too sometime
has been about 15 years since last massage. they also do facials. Have never had a professional facial and plan to have one soon
thanks for the list, neil
no lickety today?
sate
no
Sorry. I'll stop chatting now
List in my profile Nef.
yw, peri.
thanks, neil
yw Nef.
Nef, how is Aunty doing?
she's better today; stronger and breathings' better. We gave her some very strong diuretics (fluid pills) to get the water weight off and they seem to be helping now
good to hear
yeah. I haven't been able to get her Oxygen down to a more normal level yet; so that's a worry; but maybe after the fluid os gone we can do that
Oh that's good Nef. Sounds like a lot of worry.
Good to see justice being done for once. This guy was pure evil and deserves to go away for a long time: http://bit.ly/po2jGg
even for me (as a nurse) it's hard to watch someone struggle to breathe. I did all I could; but all the nursey type things weren't helping for a while there. I didn't want her to die while struggling to breathe!
wow, neil. That is so sad for those kids!
160 words left (so far a fast grid for me!); but off to do some work now. BBL
55 left here
Very sad, Nef. Glad to see justice is finally being served in this case.
I have a list on profile, movieman.
I know neil, thanks
Oh, ok... yw.
That would be hard Nef. Hard enough if you're a nurse and the person's your patient... even harder when the person's a loved one.
last 2 te's please? (te 5/10, 6/18)
got the 5/10
oh - and the plural -- twisty little devil
nan - were those the electrical guy and pl?
yes
oh, good, thanks - now I know where to stop looking for other te's, haha
And from the complete idiots factfile..... The perils of relying on search engines to find YouTube footage for documentaries have been laid bare by ITV1's Exposure mistakenly airing scenes from a video game rather than an IRA film. Exposure's producers had intended to broadcast footage of paramilitaries shooting down a British helicopter, originally aired on investigative series The Cook Report and now available on YouTube. It is understood that the images that were supposed to be used were these ones, labelled "PIRA shoot down British Heli". However, anyone typing "PIRA shoot down British Helicopter" into YouTube's search box brings up footage of a helicopter being shot at in the video game Arma 2. It is thought that a simple wrong search and click led to the incorrect scenes being uploaded and then broadcast on national TV – to the embarrassment of ITV. Fellow documentary makers said they were surprised that the mistake was not picked up by ITV and the experienced producers. One of them, Sylvia Jones, used to work on The Cook Report and another, Clive Maltby, was a picture editor on World in Action. An ITV spokesman confirmed that the correct footage is in the process of being added and said that the re-edited programme is due to be put up on ITV Player on Thursday. It comes as a contributor approached to supply pictures to another episode of Exposure told MediaGuardian that he was told that there was "no budget" for stills and footage. Alan Turnbull, who runs the website secret-bases, said he was approached by the respected independent production company Brook Lapping to use aerial shots of Kent military site Fort Halstead for an episode called Exposure: The World's Deadliest Arms Race. "Sadly, Brook Lapping's researcher told me there was 'no budget' and so didn't want to cough-up a serious fee for usage rights. So the deal didn't go ahead," Turnbull said. He told MediaGuardian that he had asked for around £1,000 for the photos to be used in perpetuity and around the world, but was declined. However, an ITV sources said Exposure: The World's Deadliest Arms Race is one of the most expensive episodes of the series as it contains a lot of foreign footage. One documentary maker added: "Negotiations with copyright holders about the rates they expect [or] hope to license images or footage for a programme and balancing editorial need against budget and other options available is an everyday process on any film of this type."

I never jeard of it being used as acomb. Never saw one more than about 1 1/2 inches
yes -- google it and you should get a photo. In some of the British castle we visited this summer, they would place a te 6 on the chairs and sofas so visitors wouldn't sit on them.
They use them in dry arrangements and crafts
A weed that you use as a comb. Only here would you learn of such things. : )
In the middle ages they were used to comb out fleece.
I think it do more tangling than untangling
just wondering what hootowl never saw that wasnt more than 1 1/2 inches!!! sorry my bad
I will never understand why Enable recognizes past tense of a noun.
Must have been bigger than...or they are naturally bigger in europe
Ivesy!!! Ahahahahaha!

hi sue! I was in your dad's neck of the woods fri. nite. my son's gf's family lives in millington
my son is melting down again, sigh - he starts the semester strong and then falls apart after a few weeks
*sigh* i am on a dry campus -- will have to wait until tonight for wine
sounds like a party to me ivesy :)
which campus jmc?
wow, that's exactly where my dad is, bethn! It's a pretty small town so you can't have been far from him.
have switched from white zifendel to bella rosa.. not sure if i like it
eastern mennonite university in harrisonburg va
they live on a country road, very suburban not a development. Lovely area, we had dinner at the Stirling hotel then on to their house for birthday cake
sounds nice bethn
is this a part of the mennonite group that are the less strict version of amish?
i suppose half assed is hyphenated
uh depending on who you talk to, they are cousins at best
it was really lovely jmc. her folks are very nice people which makes it nice for us. it is easier to share kids when both sides get along
it is indeed
ah, the stirling hotel is really nice! My dad lives not far from there.
okay i was only going to play until 100 and i am at 101--there is homework to be done!
bbl
hi and bye uu
bye, jmc!
my only info comes from documentaries -- it seems (accoording to them) that some who leave the amish will join the mennonites, similar theology, very modest, and moral but not so many restrictions on technology and education
bye jmc... hi sue
bye jmc they do too, sue, it was only a a three or four minute drive from there to her house
told you it was a small town :-)
did you grow up there sue?
I grew up in Bernardsville, which is very close
we moved there when I was in the 6th grade; before that we lived in Plainfield
that is lovely as well all the towns in that neck of morris co are old and beautiful
I am not as familiar with plainfield, I think we may have been there years ago but it is not in my regular orbit
yes - the landscape is surprisingly pretty as well - people have this view of New Jersey as being like what you see on the turnpike near Newark, and a lot of it is not like that at all
ok, must get to next meeting, sigh, didn't get much done today :-(
my parents ( from upstate NY) were horrified when we bought a house in rockaway, nj when i was pregnant 31 years ago. they had that awful vision in their heads. when they saw where we live they were much relieved.
bye sue see you later
bethn, where in upstate ny?
greetings
latham - suburb of albany
hi scrabbs
hi scrabbs.
oh im from western ny
My cousin lives in Clifton Park and this summer I met someone from Kinderhook.
wherre ivesy? i spent a lot of time in oneonta with my cousins
dunkirk, bout 50 miles south of buffalo.
my best friend from child hood lives in clifton park- the world is a very small place
His kids went to Shenendoah HS.
closer to scrabs area then.
yes.. have relative live out near albany way, not sure where
had a wicked crush on a boyfrom shenandahoah hs. can't even remember his name now
Yes, ivesy lives near the Indian Reservation where I work on Mondays.
had relatives lived in cranberry nj.. r u familiar with it
yep saves me money on smokes lol
oooh. Scrabs! hey all!
Hi Stid
hi stid
i believe that is farther south than me, i still am not great with localities that are not within my radius of travel
hi stid
me either,, and i hve lived here all my life. cept for a short time in maryland
I have to be game MD at a middle school football game in 45 min and it's raining and will continue to rain.
sounds like a good time scrabs :(
Stidkid #2 is home feeling poorly... I think it's a flu shot reaction, he's felt poorly for several hours a day since the day after the shot. REALLY bad on Sunday, but today he called from school (never does that) and was glad to come home (from a kid who loves school). BUT. no fever, no particular achy badness, just overall yuckiness and cold.
Oh, you bet, beth. I can't wait.
we lived in md as well for several years - gaithersburg
hm. *sends heated dry suit ASAP-mail to scrabs*
how's this grid, should I try it?
I lived a short time in Maryland too, ivesy3. Just a few months, working at a temporary job.
The flu shot is all killed virus so you cannot get the flu from it. Sounds like a cold virus from the germ factory (school)
It's big but pretty easy, stidmama.
Not many really strange words.
i find it difficult without expert.. but am trying it with neils list... ty neil
I have to decide what to wear to stay dry. And my fear with rain and mud is that I will wipe-out when running on the field to examine and injured boy.
Hi neil
it is easy going for the first 240 then they are harder to see
I know it's not the flu, but wondered if the albumin could do something like this? Although the school nurse did say that there is "something going around" this week.
thanks neil
Oh really Scrabbler? Wow. Good to know... know how many people claim they got the flu from it? {headshake] What I think is they got the flu from other sick patients at the clinic.
List in profile if anybody wants it.
I didn't react to it at all.
have it neil ty
Something is perpetually going around and kids share quite well.
yw
I had quite a local reaction as usual--red, swollen, tender, and itchy.
down to 30 here i will list in a while. it is either list or chat, i cannot multitask with babble.
yep. you'd never know he was my kid from the way he shares food and drinks... hm. what does mono start like?
get the list, Beth. Why suffer?
I never had it, my brother did, but I was already away at college...
Yeah any time of year too it seems. I'm just getting over a cold... first for me this time of year.
being diabetic i have to have a flu shot every year. so far no reaction
Mono can be symptom-free. 99% of adults by age 40 are immune. Classic mono = yucky tonsillitis, massive lymph nodes in neck, fever, fatigue. treatment = time + rest.
okay. well, no fever, so no worry. *watchful mama eyes on standby*
thanks scrabs. Oh! talked to Tom's parentals a couple times in the last couple days. They send their best and hope you are well.
Rest, hydration, pain relief and time for the immune system to do its job = recipe for almost all illnesses.
I need to write to them. *bad Scrabbler*
Then we're doing the right things, which I kind of figured.
LOL I was NOT trying to guilt-trip you! (but yes, they love hearing from you)
Just like our parents did--get on the couch with a blanket, have soup and ginger ale, sleep a lot, take baby aspirin (a no-no now) and give it time.
is there a list for today?...getting close but don't have a lot of time
Hi Ou
I got some 81 mg aspirins for our dog... he's getting a little lame at times. But we generally use tylenol.
Neil has a list, ouwachita
I take one baby aspirin daily as stroke prevention, especially because I am a migraineur.
I get such ringing in the ears from most NSAIDS that I was not even considering aspirin for myself.
maybe the small dose will be tolerable.
Yes! NBT!
oh lord- more flood warnings for nj :( another 2-3 inches today
6 tiles with zero for me
okay, I am taking the elder kiddo into town for a job interview at McD's.... he tried to meet the hiring manager Monday but was out sick so he called this morning. I am looking forward to some time at one of the close-by boutiques... LOL I rarely window shop these days.
(((Hugs for all))) **choclits in PB if needed** *poof*
My sister lives in northern Bergen County and got a flooded basement from irene--> $4000 in damages (carpeting, etc)
Bye Stid
have fun stid and good luch to the stidkid
we lost a tree in the hurricane, luckily it fell away from the house
This is a sign of my brain-deadedness today: I JUST noticed the qu in the middle of the grid.
;
l
Hi Inge
mama...who the heck is Neil...i can't find anyone named Neil...is it armstrong and he is on the moon today?
Negativeneil
are you positive? lol
scroll down to 2:52 for neil
Positive about that negative neil
At 98/175 I must get waterproof for the football game. Bye all.
stay dry and warm scrabs
oh no, is lickety down?
There is a list in Hoot's profile. http://www.playbabble.com/profile_min i.php?id=16875
thanks
sorry, that's probably been discussed 100 times today
No worries Helena. You can only pick up on what's going on from when you enter chat. : )
hello for a minute
1 1000, 2 1000, 3 1000, 4 1000... hurry ruby
DH is going to be 86 on Friday and I think he's very depressed. Hopefully, he'll like his gifts and will cheer up. At least the weather is perfect!
ruby, what was your address again. I never actually got to see your house
depressed about turnig 86?
this evening "our" hawk attacked the tree where the birds roost at night. I could here her crashing into it three times. I'm afraid to tell husband, or he'll try to shoot her
47, route de Morat. It's a tiny street with the Route de Thones at the bottom of our garden. The house is pinkish
I think this hawk is an inept hunter; she seems to be crashing a lot
and the town?
ra 5/16 plz
yes, kje, I think he is thinking about the end
Veyrier du Lac, southeast from Annecy
a daisy is ra***
tell him to sap out of it and be thankful he made it to 86
it is not a stretegic arean, so GoogleEarth goes uite low
that's what I tell him, but he's always been a PITA pessimist
It's on street view
flower?? lol
sorry for the typos, it's past my bedtime, just wanted to see if there was any news about Tuesday's drama
Ivesy, what the sun shines in, past tense
Anyone find out anything from down under yet?
it is dark now, so you will see it better in the orning, bichon. I can't always find it, but one time, I was able to get a sweeping view of the valley
ty both!
Who the heck I am is me, Ouwachita. And no, I haven't made it to the moon yet.
yvw ivesy
Pretty easy to text search my name... not that anyone has to when I leave myself logged in to they have access to the clues list?
I feel sure you will make it here one day, Bichon
and we appreciate it neil
But hey, I guess I don't need to if someone copies it to their profile and everyone's using that?
Glad some of you do, ivsey3.
But I'll log out since everyone's using hoot's. It's good that I don't need to stay logged in. Have fun. :)
Instead of going to Hawaii this Xmas, I'll come to Annency ruby
Oh, you two would be dangerous together Bich. Look out France!
Actually, I'll come in the spring. Se rubys great garden
you would be welcomed with open arms but somehow, I think swimming would be better in Hawaii! The most beautiful time here is April May but this year early spring and summer were both wonderful
t is hard living so far away but, at the same time, I don't think we could have found a better, affordable place in the US
Do you have close family in the US ruby?
Ruby I hope your husband has a mood improvement by his birthday.
do we sound dangerous Molly? I like that as I think I'm growing increasingly conventional as I age, wild youth was spent
I may start putting xanax in his food....lol
Dangerous = vivacious Ruby. You and Bich would be the toast of the town.
I'm dog crazy. I would kidnap all les petites chiens
yes, I have a sister in NY, cousin in various pleases and a big family in London. It is difficult to leave right now because of poor Burt and our lovely dogs
our chiens are far from petit! 75 stinky pounds, eadh but gorgeous. I will try to post some pictures I took of her tomorrow
No, around town. Maybe some Bichons, Cotons?
and there are hundreds of big goldfish.
Many small dogs here, very few chows!
they're considered too exotic.... silly. I guess, and high upkeep
I have to see a fluff every place I visit. Even saw one in Stockholm this summer
I had a chow years ago... amed shalom
named
I will ask around and see if anybodyknows any bichons
what color, kje?
hi babblers.... any news yet on mr P??
Hi KJE, how is the training going?
pretty good!
it was beige
kj, you dog was named Shalom, as in Hebrew for peace
yes
Ruby is shaded beige/blonde. Max is black
It sounds like you will be more than ready for your walk. I hope you raise lots of money.
we do 15 miles this saturday
whats happened to Mrp?
domestic problems
that is a lovely dog name; our names are very conventinal
Wow, good for you.
ah ok
First we had Muffin, Biscuit and Cupcake. The new generation is Marco & Polo
she was the smartest dog i ever had...house trained i less than a week... and could learn tricks in a couple tries
I Wonder if she'll be too embarrassed to come back
Muffin Biscuit! That is the nickname I was trying to remember. : )
Mine aren't smart, just stubborn. They are more intersted in being adored
chows are very clean about housebreaking, have never had a problem with any of the 5. Tricks are another question thugh. They sort of go "What, you want me to do what?" lIKE TRAINING CATS
Who Ruby? Mr. President?
YES
she made us all upset and frustrated at not being able to help
Male Bichons are impossible to housebreak. None of mine have been completely. They wear a belly band with a pad. How embarrassing that I am telling you this
Well, I hope if she needs the support of her friends, she will feel free to come back. But they need to work out their personal stuff in private.
shalom would fetch, roll over, ad shake hands... as well as typical obediece stuff like sit and heel
at almost 9, Ruby comes when I call her, but not always.
mine come if I offer treats. They have me over a barrel
and they don't fetdh or do anything that isn't for their own pleasure. Just lie around looking beautiful and waiting to be cuddled
now that our dogs have in common
DR
the great news is that they are wonderful watch dogs and people wouldn't dare come onto the property without my saying it's OK
yes, she would bark
but neither one has ever showed teeth except for the occasional smile, showing only the little bottom teeth
how long did she live as that is my biggest worry
got her as a pup ad she was eager to please and loved the attention... gave her away at 3 years so didn't get the 9 years of old age attitude
we have never had one live past 10
max is autistic and is on prozac and is doing much better
and they eat like kings
how do you know a dog is autistic
speaking of eating, I want my midnight snack of poor man's sushi
autistic dogs?
i am eatig rich ma's sushi - lol
I had just read Temple Grandin's books when he arrived, and he had all the classic symptoms: wouldn't make eye contact, was afraid of noise, usued to hide in the garden and have to be carried out, stuff like that. The vets thought I was crazy, but the prozac helped him become a real family member, though still very shy
I don't think Prozac is used for autistics
he even likes to be petted now and he's only 8! lol
Temple Granin suggested it and she is my God!
No, prozac is an anti-depressant.
Who is Temple Grandin?
it's an "off-label " use and, trust me, it worked
down to 60 - bbl
she is the highly functioning autistic who developed a humane way of leading cattle to slaughter
Well shut my mouth. Apparently prozac IS used treating autism. Pardon moi.
my MD prescribes it, laughing all the way
one of the vets thought I was crazy, but wrote it all down anyway.
I didn't know there was any medicine for treating autisism
most peole would have destroyed to dog, as weird as he was. But he was very gentle and absolutely gorgeous.
Well, speaking of dogs, they have eaten and now we have the obvious next step
it isn't a cure, but it helps them integrate
I JUST LEAVE THE DOOR OPEN AND OUT THEY GO WHEN THEY FEEL LIKE. whoops, shouting, I am falling asleep
good night, my friends
hey babblers.. how goes it today?
hi all back for a few minutes
i swear I have been spoiled w/ babble expert.. lol
Back to basics lbuxx. It's like cooking on the campfire. : )
its okay for me since i don't care if i finish
interesting icon molls
i am too stubborn not to be bothered by not finishing.. lol
I don't use Expert so I'm not feeling the pinch. I bet it's weird for people who are used to using it though.
evenin babblers!
i didn't know what it was at first but once i figured it out.. walah- spoiled!
i am just stubborn enough then lbuxx!
The icon is from a friend's collection of spiritual light images.
hi evan
so expert doesn't work when there is no list?
Hi Eva.
I'm guessing Expert has to be updated just like the list. Someone said yesterday that the list updates automatically, but I didn't think that was the case.
no when lickety was ill it was not updated
no update on Lickety, i presume?
not since the wees hours of today US time
which was? i havent heard an update today...
sorry he was at a parent's house and mr p is upset
that is about all we know
ahh. i did hear that yesterday. i think it was yesterday...
mr p came on early this morning to say no list for foreseeable future
im sure no one cares too much about that in light of what they are going through.
no most people just wish them well
sprite used to have a method of coming up with a list. i wonder if thats still functional...
there are lists around--neil and hoot both have one in their profiles
oh well. ive gotta get to my running class. have a good evening. :)
bye evan have a nice time running
even though there's no list, I've gone further without it than usual
*sigh* i wish the guys i am suppose to meet would show up
wtg bichon
ah they are here bbl
NO CHANGE OF HEART BY LICHETY?
Inge, it was posted today that the list will be down indefinitely. There is a list here, if it helps.

14 elusive words to fnd
I am well, peri -- about to throttle the elder kid again.... he has the nerve to complain to ME that I am using too much of the paper I paid for that is on MY printer in MY house. *grumble*
hmmm, he does have some nerve
rofl... yes, he does!
my printer is not working and there is no paper for my sisters printer, arrrrgh, was going to print up gremlins list
ooh! I am past halfway!
oh yes, I like paper lists to work from, for sure
go stiddy
but I am listless most days now, the NBT/halfway goal lets me play and chat a while but frees me from the feeling that I "must" complete.
I did manage to finish one the other day, listed for just the last five words.

can anyone give me the E in the bottom corner for NBT please, then I can go to bed

Duh, sorry
good to see you too peri, sorry I keep getting distracted with the printer issues. *sigh*
goodnight all

What happened to Lickety?
they are having a really rough time, pigeonman,
I don't think we'll have Lickety for a while.
Do you need a list?
I have a list in my profile
(((Min)))
Thanks. I hope things work out well for them.
Hi stidmama! How are ya? I'm about to give up on this
Hello...
I am well Min -- I have given up. Got my halfway/NBT an hour or so ago, and now just waiting for Tom to get home so we can start supper.
hey Jellen!
Stid, are you on Yahoo or Skype?
yes, why?
I don't go to either one very often.
Oh, I was just going to ask you about mrp, but didn't want to tie up chat.
I can hop on to either one, but really all I know is what has been posted in the chog the last few days.
I'm jellen311 on Skype
didn't connect, should I try again?
de8 anyone?
the one I have is to un NACL -- the person who does this
sorry, NaCl...
I have that one also.
The other one is to remove the nipple decorations of a stripper
rofl bea!
Not that I would know anything about that kind of stuff.
Hi everyone already have three words and a pot of applesauce steaming.
that is so funny
hello Mother!
hm. applesauce. I think we could have some too -- the apples from Matthew's tree make the BEST applesauce.
Yes, please stid
Oh, No! MOther. And her I am talking about strippers.
okay, trying again...
Hello. mama. Nice to see you enjoying your afternoon.
Bea. Guide me through it? That clue shook me up. :-)
nm. got it. thanks
Yes, Bzzn. Obviously things are getting out of hand. Time for the enforcer.
remove the dangly thing from a mortar board
Let's not mess with dangling things (like participles) for a little while.
lol :-)))
My excuse is I had dental work and novacaine today.
My excuse is, I didn't have any novacaine today.
hi all back to find my last 13 words
Hi periwinkle. Lots of people getting bunches of words. I'm up to 30 within mere minutes.
Was a fairly quick grid for one this size
Shouldn't "realtor" work?
yes but apparently not with enable, grem
And "grody" !
congrats, gremlinn!
gremlin change the last vowel of realtor
Ah, I already finished a while back, was just musing on the words I thought should have worked.
ok
tyro
I am doing my jigsaw puzzle now
sorry for that
Yeah, I'll probably be a raving lunatic in a few months
32000 pieces
Is this the 10,000 piece puzzle?
Whoa.
It's impossible for me to do the smallest of puzzles. My cats won't let me.
what is the picture of gremlinn
How big is that puzzle?
544 x 192 cm (214 x 75 inches)
(17' 10" x 6' 4")
Or 6' 3" rather
17 feet!
I like jigsaw puzzles but we don't have a table set up for it at this time. That's what we need.
Doing it in sections for now.
Full time occupation? "I pull edge pieces out of a box."
hi again, all, and shouldn't assed be a word? Like half assed?
Is there a list somewhere? Thanks in advance
I aggreee re assed :)
negativeneil's profile
gremlinn has one, rational
and gremlinn's profile
Hi, uusue
Sue: I've only seen that one hyphenated :)
oh well, it was worth a try :-)
great, have to go to the list for the last fifty
Strategy is important in puzzles.
Okay, I'm self-banning myself from Babble for the next 25 minutes (or until I finish the next chapter I'm supposed to be reading)!
If you happen to see me before then, you may give me a stern lecture!

te8?
After finding a to5/10 of 166 words, I do not feel like de4/5ing with the grid anymore. I have de 5/12 with it long enough. Here is a story of clues for my de 4/5 Babble friends.Husband has been looking for a job for 2 years. Even though companies advertised as an eq 5/16 opportunity employer,my hubby felt like he was not getting any opportunities.Hubby had been out of work for a very long time & he could not seem to find a job with ea4/4.Three days ago,he finally got a job. He started working for a tr4/4 cutting company. He was so el6/21 when he got the job since he had been out of work for two ye4/6s. When hubby started the job, he was gr 5/14ed with open arms and the people were really nice.Hubby did not care if he was making le4/4 money than before. He was just re4/4ly happy to have a job. Well, today he was four minutes la 4/4 and they let him go. Hubby said to his boss that their clocks were 4 minutes fast. She re8/45 "no they are not,and if they are,then you have to go by our time! Now hubby believes their welcome was just a te 5/10 and he was sl6/21 to fail from the first day. I am still re4/4ing over the fact his boss let him go so quickly. My hubby turned down another job offer so he could accept this. Now he reg5/14s doing that. I just hope this does not de 5/12 hubby from looking for another job. Not to sound gr5/16y, but I have do5/14 on him long enough with my salary. Now I am going to te 4/4 myself away from this game and get out of this se4/4 and go do something el 4/4 like go watch the film "De 5/14 of Salesman". I probably will not be back la5/10.
tyvm, going to read or watch tv or both, night all
Hi Sue, peri, Min, etc.
np, min, I've been in and out
Sue, see my post on G+?
i survived my running class tonight, so im rewarding myself with a healthy treat!
Goodbye perwinkle! I will see you tomorrow in the log
nice story, min! And it got me a few more words.
and not yet, neil, let me go look.
dinner tonight is arugula, apple, and date pizza
Thanks,I am glad it helped.I have given up on the grid
with bacon and cheese, and a brown sugar glaze. it is PRETTY.
Ok Sue. Hi jes!
wow, that sounds amazing, jes!
jes, sounds tasty! never actually had dates...
things i would never think to cook for myself--it's good that bruce is around :)
2nd de8? not the cooking one
i made myself a smoothie for a treat. i keep sliced up berries and bananas in the freezer. just add a splash of milk and a little greek yogurt, then go at it with the immersion blender. yummy!
You didn't see me say hi at 7:53 pm, jes?
to8?
de8 = something you do to corn before eating or harvesting it
nm found it.
silk? husk?
(farmers around here actually hire armies of 16-year-olds to de8 the corn)
but maybe you have to live in the middle of hundreds of square miles of corn fields for that to make any sense :-P
.. can we have a moment of silence for someone who is suffering greatly?
who, ruru?
my wife.. it's our 26th anniversary.. she's had to put up with me for that long...
*wanders back in* hi again, everybody
what a patient woman she must be, ru!
rofl ruru!!!!
hey all
ah - kudos to you and Mrs. Ruru!
God bless the woman. Happy Anniversary Mr. and Mrs. Ru.
hi again, jes!
and hi, molly!
and stid!
::bows head in reverence::
finally got the de8 corn clue!
you can imagine.. seeing as how i torture people here..
But on the plus side, Mrs. Ru is married to a great cook.
jes, I have been reading about this listeria outbreak in cantaloupe - it is really bad!
I feel like I'm living with Mother Teresa sometimes
im still corn-free...heh
yeah, scary stuff
phew, shirlock! Glad it finally made sense.
last de7?
except, Mother Teresa was smart and stayed single?
... yes molly.. she at least eats well..lol
erm, how should we interpret that Mother Teresa remark, exactly, ruru?
Diane gave the best clue for de8. To remove what hangs from a mortarboard.
ahh. THAT one i know. :)
I rather liked the clue involving strippers and nipples.
it's actually a common word around here, molly, but like I said you have to live in the middle of corn fields.
Or was that for the other de8?
de 7/40: beginning of Tide Laundry De***** Shirlockc.
wow. i missed strippers and nipples?
And belly dancers Jes. : )
what an odd word, thx min
how strange... that de 7 I mean
no, that's it, gremlinn
i *MAY* have received some of those as a bachelorette party gift...heh
well, sound like you guys partied it up without me
Ok Sue, replied.
Eva, did they come with or without the pole?
Hi you all. Does anyone know any more about the problem lickety is having?
sorry, peach, i didn't know lickety was having problems.
nothing new, peac
I mean peach
Do we have a list with lickety?
hi neil. heard a review of the rep. debates, from a rep, who basically said "we're stuck with these losers?! won't somebody who belongs to the human race run?"
I have a list
Thanks, y'all. gremlinn, my printer isn't working right now...thanks anyway.
Thanks, stidmama.
Yes, jes, it came on right after the flip.....they didn't know exactly what had happened.
stats for the 2 e's in the lower right please?
eg 5/14
eg 4/6 and eg 5/14
looking for the other...
NBT, thanks :)
ee 4/6
Oh, you fooled me, there's only 1 e in the lower right ;)
no, grem, sorry. i meant that i needed a word from each of the e's, not that there were 2 words from one e.
i was unclear.
Ahhh
jes, how is bil-jax?
doing well, stid. he's in a foster home that will, barring unforeseen issues, adopt him after he's neutered.
to8?
that would be so good for him!
Opus is getting over his respiratory issues, will be neutering him tomorrow and looking for a home for hime too :)
home, i mean
which one is opus? do I remember him?
tuxedo kitten with upper respiratory
came in the day after bill-jax
I was in a friend's house a couple days ago -- I am not allergic to her cat... but the problem is that I have to be around a cat for several days sometimes before the allergies take hold. And for me, I can't imagine bringing an animal home if I couldn't be sure I could keep it.
ah, poor kitty.
*wondering what evan did with extra nipples she received at bacherlorette party*
I would hate to have a critter come home, get settled in and then have to leave.
you could come visit me, and stay at a hotel with the kitty for the weekend, as a trial. :)
*Thinks Eva meant she got ta6/18s*
LOL jes! you are so funny!
what would I do if Lucky decided to eat the kitty once I got home? He has been chasing the neighbor's cats...
she said strippers and nipples
bop him on the nose?
although.... that might be an idea. Will think about that one, jes.
someone said strippers and nipples
when I can catch him!
get a big, rough tom cat to pummel him?
to 8/55 to + the line around the center of the earth is the e****or but change the o to anther vowel
actually, Mother breaks out in hives if she touches cats...
hey Luv!
hi stid
hi all typing one handed so i can eat lovely greasy roast chicken
hmm. a big, rough, hairless tom?
mmmm. chicken!
*shudder* sorry jes, that just sounds scary!
and I am up above 200 words with my battery dying on the computer as well as the brain.
I think I will turn in and hope to get a call in the morning... see you-all tomorrow! *poof*
should scare Lucky into behaving, right?
alrighty, sleep sweet stid
evening everyone back for a few more:)

No idea Joey. i have one web page only
Lickety is not up. List in Grem's profile.
thanks
Hi
Hi all could I get a clue for the de 8..not the nipple one
Sounds like it could mean a person who removes NaCl
Someone who takes saline out of things Sea.
And "not the nipple one" made me laugh. : )
ty so much Molly and gremlinn
lol didn't know how else to express that one
what's the nipple oe
HOwdy
de8/45 to remove what strippers wear on their nipples
hey herin
Hi Herin
ha! didn't know that one
Is that even a word?
Probably not Herin, but since when does that stop enable. Actually, Sue said it refers to what is done to corn crops.
I ca see the spelling bee... detassel... can you use it in a sentence?... to remove stripwear...
Okay, that was such a good laugh, KJE, that you are exempt from going to the PB.
oh wow... that was dumb... sorry
I have been around farms all my life and have never heard that about the corn crop...I would go with the stripwear
anyone know why my words won't go to the list in expert?
No, seriously, if you say something that funny, you are exempt. I just made a new rule. Sue me.
corn is detasseled here
lol
where piper...it is picked here
Wild, Expert is not working and will not be working for the foreseeable future. Problems in Licketyville.
k thanks
or husked
I don't get the de8 word either. All the corn I buy has ta6s on it.
HI pipper
the tasels are picked here in southern ontario...stops pollenation in hybrid crops
Hi back everyone
oh, ok...how do they do that?
controls fertilization i guess...im not a farmer but i detasseled as a kid...paid good
walk down the rows and pick the tasels off..
you mean they do it by hand?
Well Piper, given all the stripper comments, I wouldn't put that on your resume. : )
yup..machines make a mess...
lol Molly
wow...that would take forever
My sister used to do that with cotton and wheat in her holidays
lol Molly making note to self NOT to put that on future resumes
yea..good few weeks pay...in the heat of the summer unfortunately
Ok Since when did country and western singers get so damn sexy. Luke Bryan. well well hello

Oh Herin I am in love with Kenny Chesney

Night
any clues for 8's? I have the one just given (not sure about the "corn one"...) and a te8
Re to speak back, Te which has the artist stand at the end and TO which means ringed about the neck, as with feathers or a color; collared.
back for a few
Hi JM
de8=remove the yellow threads from the corn or take off the pasties from the stripper
That one we had JM. how you?
aha - got the corn one! thx jmc
firefly didn't
I could use a clue for the te 8:)
i am thinking about bed but not quite ready
I just gave that one
are you familiar with the play school for scandal?
t+artist's stand, past tense
Ah! Thanks
or just t+artist's stand for the te6/18
ty fire i actually didn[t have the artist stand! haha
herin gave the artist's stand reference first ;)
ah well ty herin then!
herin - can you give a clue for the to8, besides the definition? I'm just not figuring it out from that
What's the scandal?
No Probs. Just trying to get my brain working. The last 37 are like mud. And It doesn't help that the bloody cat has hogged the heater
sorta like the thing that you use to stop someone from bleeding fatally
ah it was the usual comedy of errors pint
good play
your cat is a terror
I know. The other night we woke up in the morning freezing with one red hot kitty
to+letter+almost the ground shaking that happened in DC a few weeks ago
got it - thx!
the pressure of a turn+pt of eat
yw fire
i have 97 left
what's the last 8 then? have two de8, one to8, one te8...
35 for me and the need to poke a cat off the heater is soon
re8
talked back
oh look at that i have all 8s
I did clue them all
ty herin i missed that
i saw your clue for talked back though
i remember herin, now that jmc gave the re8 clue...still lost on it though LOL
Wait it moved. I must have stared at her alot
i always have to click on your icon herin because it looks like a sonogram when it si small
haha get that cat!
oh for heaven's sakes - i get it now, talked back, of course
Nope it is a waterfall. I took it
no i know every time i click on it i remember
i second jmc - sonogram was my first thought too
the small icons confuse me
Def not a sonogram. There is nothing residing in my oven
me too jmc! herin - it's a beautiful pic
mine looks like a rock
haha!
could be a cousin!
Nope. The only other person I know that is having a kid distinctly looks child shape
haha!
92 left
you know jmc, i actually got that it was a zeppelin, despite the small size icon ;)
off to have ice cream and some TV with the hubby
good on you fire i so don't
i think i used it on a friday that one of the words in the gird was airship
Fire you know that a pint of ice cream fits in an oven glove so you don't melt the ice cream
i was in a bad mood about my remodeling and came this close to putting a pic of it blowing up
huh?
You know pint containers of ice cream like Ben and Jerrys?
why would you put a pint of ice cream in an oven glove?
Well you can fit them in an oven glove so your hands don't melt to container
No more gooshy sides
ah
i use a burp rag from the baby (clean-ish) so my hand don't freeze, but the no melting sides is a nice benefit
lol
One of the babblers mentioned it and I thought it was a great idea
we used to take ice cream and stir it until it was all gooshy and call it goo
but we also made a recipe of mayonaise, ketchup and mustard we called goo too
i am afraid we were not too clever with names for food
lol jmc - have a nice night babblers
bye fire
JM minus the mustard plus tabasco sauce = 1980's prawn cocktail sauce. Night Fire
haha we put it on hotdogs we felt very chic
Not sure about the mayo
i have qu 5,5,5,4,6,6,6,
i seem to be missing 6
I have 29 left and a need for coffee and a kitty that needs to get the heck off the heater
as long as she doesn't turn into a crispy critter she's alright
Not a chance. But she is a hog
We have proper covers on the vents
haha
Brb need another coffee. I say this as I just had to retype that sentence 3 times
i have bird, unknown, ?, square, statement, pt, stater, pl,
i keep thinking i should find queer
Do you have q6 4 in French?
i think goth should be a word
no my french is abysmal
now i have it ty
have we met before pint?
No, I'm new. I played years ago an I just found babble again.
wb then pint
it is a great game and community
Yes it is. This time I will sign up for pro. I'm glad it's still around.
well it needs people to sign up for pro to keep it around that is for sure
i look forward to your icon and flag :-)
Thanks! Me too. I wish I was better at this though.
88 inspite of all efforts to be a fool
that is the thing pint, you find what you find
you ask for clues and give them
you chat and make jokes
it is all good!
words of wisdom for tonight: a glass table (if clean) is the best thing to spill champagne on!
That's the best thing I've heard all night:)
haha it had a gap and i was able to squeegy the champagne back into my glass! no waste!
i am glad i cleaned it last week
so where are you located pint? more or less?
That's awesome! I bartend so I will have pass that wisdom along to the guests..
haha many centuries ago i was a cocktail waitress
I'm in Maryland.

i am more or less in dc

i would rather JD any day
that is precisely the problem pint :-(
*pours herin a couple of drops of jd*
i will have to switch or go to bed
I think I need the cofffee properly made first. I need a 90sec kettle

Hello!

Online information retrieval
ah a good course to be taking
i am, of course, taking things to further my role as superwoman
It was a fascinating reading we were to write a response to.
yes?
I think I'll try to get the book to read. The chapter was about the internet and its effect on the human brain.
hmmm not good i assume
What is the book could?

Has Nef been on today?
yes nef was on earlier
Thanks, jmc.
Jellen do you have a complete title please
auntie is doing okay but needs help with oxygen
Looking for it now, herin
should i go read the chapter on systems analysis or adopt the fi principal?
chees
cheese perhaps?
I've been wondering how she is doing.
Whoops...it's the Shallows, not Shadows!
fi, definitely!
she seems overwhelmed but coping if that makes any sense
The Shallows: What the Internet Is Doing to Our Brains
i defer to your more recent knowledge o jell
Well, I'm sure she must be so tired.
pint are your still here?
Cheers bookmarked at AMazon.
Hi GA
Can I ask a question please
does amazon deliver to down under?
Hi there, herin. Have you finished this grid?
Yep
Nope
of me? always
zzzzzzz
Is it true that some USA schools are not teaching history these days?
Still here, I think I'm giving up and going to bed though. Thanks for the warm welcome JM!
no herin.
Oh, I don't think so, herin.
no that is not true
Good for you. I still have 93 to go.....had company this afternoon so I didn't get back to it as soon as I wanted.
Bye, Pint!
sometimes they make it up though.
I was watching the view today and one of the guests said they don't
no no pint stay fo r10 minutes more for the flip
haha cosd
maybe in Texas they don't lol
hows your head?
Bill O'Rielly was the quest
my facts your facts true facts
guest. dang it.
Hi Cos
well the guest was word
*wrong
What happens at the flip? Do we get a list of the words?
oh enough said, herin. anything o'LIElly says cannot be beliebed.
What happens at the flip? Do we get a list of the words?
oh bill o'rielly is something i cannot write in a family chog
Bill O'Reilly is not a reliable source
I know that Whoppie Goldburg was wanting to call this guy an ass and she was very poliet
oh still headache.... but i want to do flip lol
no pint but we get a new grid and it is kinda fun
O'LIElly is one of the worst.
brb...
whoppie should have called him an ass because he is
As I said I have no idea about this guest other than Whoppie would like his head on a pyke
he once asked me to be on his show but he is such a jerk. . .
hi - he was on the Daily show tonite. Very friendly and very republican!
herin -- all he does is be a jerk and lie. outright lies.
hb jell
hi hoot
Hi hoot.
It will be online at www. jonstewart.com
i check with everyone and they said that the only way to go on bill o'reillly's show was in person and then his manner overrode his basic lying jerkdom
I wasn't too familiar with him other than the dumb ass factor
hi herin hows Oz these days?
oh he is
Cold today. We had a massive thunder and lightening storm yesterday arvo
so he wanted to interview me by phone on his show so i refused
ahhh i just read the last time he was on the show whoopi walked out on them
yeah he skewers you with a smile
The only late night talk shows we get is Dave Letterman and Craig Fergoson *on free tv)
there was a big thunderstorm here too
whoopi is a woman of taste
This storm went for about 2 hours yesterday.
hello ev 1 the flip is near
well maybe that link to Stewart will work
heres a link..i love whoopis face http://www.politico.com/blogs/click/09 11/No_drama_for_Bill_OReilly_on_The_Vi ew.html
it was odd becuase i would watch the lightening and then drive home under a clear sky
hi vanilla
pint say hi to everyone!
She has a very valid point. Let's all point our fingers at Obama and say he isn't doing diddly but you are all forgetting that no one actually wants to help him do something other than be a spaz
we have a heat wave here :(
Hi Vanilla
hot during the days but freezing at night.
he has actually done a lot of what he promised it is just that people lied to themselves about what he promised
Hello all
I put it in my profile for later. Too close to flip
Negative Neil was a great help yesterday but I believe gremlin had the list on his profile too
check out:http://www.politifact.com/
you guys hear about the new hallmark cards?
I am just saying that is what she said in short
disclaimer: my sister works for them
i love politifact
the sorry you lost your job ones cosd?
she is so happy to be working for them
Ok I am going to go and run off and do stuff
yes jmc.. if someone gave me a card like that id punch them in the face.
Ok I am going to go and run off and do stuff
they are the cutting edge of journalism
184
i just wish more MSM would use politifact
what you only have a minute before flip herin
200
85
i just wish most tv would use facts!
Yes I do but at flip I just want to have a read of the grid alone. That and I have stuff to do and the internet is stupid
amen jmc
fact? what is fact???
