hi, karana! If you're hoping for people to give you specific clues for individual words, that isn't going to happen this early in today's game. Many folks won't start working from lists or clues until they're at least halfway there. Just keep going!

12:49 am

gtg play the puzze no distractions good luck all ya

12:49 am

160 down - off to the list :)

12:50 am

there is a daily theme for icons, which sprite (in the Netherlands) collects and posts. I post a copy of her list for those on this side of the Atlantic -- and west. You'll se it if you click on my icon (although I must update it now). Todays' theme, suggested by arleeecat, is something that looks like the first letter of your name, so my saxophones is trying to look like a J. Sometimes the themes are very interesting and people post great info.

12:50 am

Fun to learn.

12:52 am

aha.......how fun!!

12:53 am

I think so, but others just ignore it

12:54 am

I'm old and gray :) still haven't figured out a bunch of stuff in here, but mostly, folks are friendly and I'm enjoying the game

12:54 am

<talking about my icon>

12:54 am

Blue, I'm older

12:55 am

I know jill :) <bows> <grin>

12:55 am

*yawn* 50 to go, and off to bed. happy babbling! *poof*

12:55 am

Blue, go to your My Account and click on the tiny square, upper right, to at least get your flag

12:56 am

bye Griff

12:57 am

oh!! ok well......not sure which flag I want......I still have a Dutch passport :) grew up in Canada, and live on Maui........hmmm

then you must have the welsh flag! (because it's cool . . .) lol

12:58 am

take your pick, Blue -- you can always change it

12:59 am

testing my looks like icon...

12:59 am

very good R, rbud!

12:59 am

good one rbud

12:59 am

was hard to find!

1:00 am

I bet!

1:00 am

don't see a tiny square upper right......oh well

1:01 am

just pick your country off the drop down list in "My Account", Blue

i think you have to be a "apid up" user before you can have a flag in here

ack, i meant paid up

1:02 am

I think Blue's paid? didn't I read that a week or so ago? maybe not, not sure

1:03 am

Blue, look again -- little square says Show Profile beside it.

1:03 am

Blue is paid up.

those who are paid also get a little pink or blue bust, am i right?

1:04 am

yes, but you have to enter your profile

hmmmm

1:04 am

At least, Blue *said* she was paid up

1:05 am

I paid!! did my check bounce?

1:05 am

oh look!! a flag!

1:05 am

you have a flag! good job! :)

1:06 am

Hooray Blue!!!

1:06 am

well.............sorry to say, but I wouldn't live in the US if it wasn't for Hawaii.......<this will piss some folks off>

1:07 am

doesn't bother me any, we all have our preferences, that's fair enough

1:07 am

Hate to tell you, but you ARE in the US...

1:07 am

lol erda, I know :)

1:08 am

Now you need an icon. When you go to your My Account, on the left-hand page you will see your grey head with Edit written under it, and instructions as to how to get an icon. Do the Browse thing and choose something from either your own Pictures files or go to Google and find something to put there.

1:08 am

when I first moved here I actually went to the post office and asked for Hawaiin stamps.........duhh :)

1:09 am

hahaha!

1:09 am

Volcano alert...

1:09 am

hmm gandhi's first name works lol

1:09 am

I mean when you click on Edit you will see instructions about getting an icon

1:09 am

1:10 am

4:38 am

{{sprite}}

4:40 am

hello debjed

4:40 am

hello mrP

4:40 am

hi mrp

4:40 am

morning mrp :)

hi girls :))

4:40 am

any clues for the 8 or 9's?

4:40 am

husband didn't know that DST ended, so I have an extra hour this AM! yay

4:40 am

oh that is lovely :)

ooooh daylight saving! have to change flip from 4pm to 5pm now :)

4:41 am

hm... I have nothing over 7 yet, sorry.

an extra hour sleep! how lucky for you!

4:42 am

it is so silly that Europe and the US don't change at the same time!

for real??

we changed 3 weeks ago

4:42 am

we got an extra hour in bed today :-)

4:42 am

as much as I ha4 the start of DST, I love going back to normal. Getting up after sleeping in, eating when I am hungry, going to bed when I am sleepy. It is nice :)

4:43 am

yes that is very silly. We used to, long ago, didn't we? But then they changed it.

4:43 am

hiya Katie :)

4:43 am

Hi sprite, morning everyone

4:44 am

HI KATIE

am watching Flowers In The Attic... the book was so so sad, now this movie is just incredibly sad

hi katie :)

4:44 am

very sad theme, mrP.

4:44 am

I'm watching the Grand Prix, playing babble and hoping hubby wakes up before whatever Rhubarb and Crumble have trapped under the radiator cover makes an apperance

4:45 am

i have never read that book. I think I'll write it down so I remember

4:45 am

lol Katie! Very vivid image in a few lines!

4:45 am

Virginia Andrews

is an incredibly well written sad story about children

4:46 am

THAT'S ANNOYIG! i JUST HIT THE WRONG KEY AND TOTALLY LOST BABBLE

4:46 am

I read them years ago, I liked the first one but felt they got stranger and stranger

4:46 am

sorry didn't mean to shout

4:46 am

I assume Rhubarb and Crumble are two of your cats :)

4:47 am

aw poor rubyfoo, lol. Easy now gal ;)

shout away! haven't given shouting a go in a long while

4:47 am

I have three cats too, Katie

4:47 am

yes they are the two youngest. Custard the eldest probably brought whatever it is in the house in the first place but is sitting next to me looking all innocent at the moment

4:47 am

I thought they might be small children with cute names, playing with spiders.... lol

Christopher, Cathy, Cory and Carey... those poor kids

4:48 am

Custard is a smart one

4:48 am

totally love the names, btw

4:48 am

sometimes I think small children would be less trouble :-)

the smaller the kids the smaller the problem.... too right katie

4:48 am

one of my boys is batting at the blinds and driving me crazy :)

4:49 am

pets (and kids) are so smart when it comes to getting our attention.

4:49 am

Deb I think they know what drives you mad and keep doing it to see how long it takes you to break

deb, i had to start a system with one of my kids... show him a red card to stop him doing things, a yellow card to warn he was close to the edge, and a green card to say well done!!

4:50 am

Ruby, the tyrant, has developed a new, special, ordering-me-around bark. It is so cute that I have to obey!

But, it was the only communication level I had with him for a period of time :)

4:50 am

see :D So very smart.

4:50 am

I don't know what I would do without them though. Mrp, I don't think my cats would understand the colors :)

4:50 am

Crumble has worked out that stealing my wedding ring from the bedside cabinet is a sure fire way of getting me up........nothing like the sight of it in her mouth running down the bed to get me moving

4:52 am

Terra can open the fly door himself, coming in. But he only does that when we are not in the room. Whenever we are, he scratches and scratches and sounds his tiny bark until we open the door.

4:52 am

I can't imagine life without dogs

ha deb! cats are too bubbly for colour! They need noise!

4:52 am

or a squirt of water !!

indeed ruby... my dog is just like one of the kids!

4:52 am

ruby, did you see I started a game with you? Took me a while to figure it out, but managed.

4:53 am

I have a 'voice' I use when they are being naught it works really well!

water did miracles to stop my dog from barking!

yes, the voice works well on animals and humans!

4:53 am

yes, I made a play last night before I went to bed. I'm delighted!

4:53 am

(my dogs never do anything bad!)

4:54 am

I use the voice and 'the look'. Work great.

4:54 am

great :D Will check it out later and make a play too.

Morning everyone! Back after another gap. Hope you are all well.

4:54 am

LEX IS SLOW BUT PLEASANT AND YOU CAN HAVE PRIVATE CHATS

4:54 am

kitties don't respond well to the look but hubby comes into line with it lol

4:54 am

whoops, errant pinkie again. sorry

4:54 am

morning Sally!!

4:55 am

morning sally

4:55 am

hi Sally, good morning :) Lots of cards already.

4:55 am

{{sally}} I've missed you!

Oh good Sprite! Are you having fun?

4:55 am

I like your profile pic, Sally :)

Ruby, I've popped in and looked at the chat occasionally but haven't had time to play. Today I will do my best though. Have entered three words already :-)

4:56 am

well on the way, then, sally

4:56 am

yes, really enjoying it. Some messages are so nice too. Some are just bland, but others are great. And with some people, email correspondence has followed. Highly enjoyable!

4:57 am

thank you for the pointer, I so appreciate it!

Good. sprite. I'm so glad.

4:59 am

phantom: african fly

Looks carefully at ruby's post. Ah! Thank you for the word :-)

lol sprite.

5:02 am

I hope there's coffee!

5:05 am

5:05 am

thin is overrated!

5:05 am

thin gives you wrinkles!

5:05 am

ad7/8 combo, very unyielding (material or opinion)

5:05 am

don't get me wrong, I'm not thin !! :)

And it gives you the pb :-)

5:06 am

me neither. Haven't been for ages. My patience is thin, sometimes. But that's all.

5:06 am

5:06 am

oh I love good dark chocolate. Sinfully full taste.

5:06 am

5:08 am

5:08 am

for those still looking for the biggies: di8/9 strewn with rhinestones. French form of the word.

5:08 am

I think sprite knows more Fr than I do!

5:09 am

*grins* don't bet on that!

5:09 am

Ruby - I got your email. I will reply from work. Still got huge 'puter problems.

5:10 am

I'm ready to shoot mine, so don't feel bad. I was so long in writing that I don't deserve a quick response!

5:10 am

puter problems are one of the bigger frustrations of our times... (hey did I put that beautifully or not)

Thanks for the dia 8/9 sprite

5:10 am

what a philosopher!

5:11 am

yvw Sally. Odd one, isn't it? Took me ages.

5:11 am

Beautifully put, Sprite. (The air would turn blue if I were to type in how I feel about puter probs :-P)

5:11 am

not getting that di

Actually we use that word in English, to mean paste jewellery that looks like the real thing.

5:12 am

well that was my public opinion. My private one uses a lot of the symbols over the number keys.

5:13 am

(last night the air was pink, just after sundown) it was incredibly beautiful!

5:13 am

yes I think it is derived from the french, Sally

5:13 am

Cubic zirconia are just not a girl's best friend!!

Oh yes, it is.

lol soodle.

5:13 am

and they probably don't cut glass, either

5:14 am

deb: di**onds are forever. AM = **** meridian. Plural for the 9.

5:14 am

ruby: one of those nights that when you'd make a photograph, it would look fake!

5:15 am

I even tried, but it was totally nil. Like when I tried to photograph the bats at dusk

5:15 am

hey, Ghandi is in the grid!

5:16 am

yeah those are impossible to photograph without special equipment. They move so fast, and in the semi dark...

5:16 am

the night I tried, there was a crescent moon and it was amazing

5:17 am

I can watch bats for hours. Their flying makes me happy. I don't know why.

5:17 am

the tiny ones here look like black butterflies

5:17 am

there is a cave up the cliff above us

5:17 am

<--- firmly decides to go visit rubyfoo

5:18 am

half! yay

5:18 am

gj

5:18 am

please please!!!

5:18 am

fireflies. Or firebats.

5:18 am

yay, sprite!

Definitely bats for Halloween!

5:19 am

but wait 'til may when there are flowers everywhere

5:19 am

:D Firebats it is!

5:19 am

deb, did that clue help you?

5:19 am

AM=**** meridian???? sorry, can't find that di yet.

5:20 am

I want a bat house in my back yard :)

5:20 am

the time indicator, before or after noon... AM or PM. The 'before' word.

deb. the first four letters begin like the jewel, the second four are like the word meaning "before".

5:20 am

we thought of getting one, but cleaning it would be too icky, even for me

5:20 am

and they're happy in their cave

5:21 am

hm, I'd be willing to clean a lot of icky stuff just to have bats close. Will look into that!

5:22 am

sally: the fish are thriving, thanks to you. Some of them are over a foot long now

5:22 am

deb: or take the 'unyielding' word. Change the first 3 letters into the first 3 of the gemstone. Add a vowel to the end.

Good ruby, I only gave you the link.

5:23 am

Sally, sometimes a link is all it takes :) (as with the cards!)

5:23 am

but I still consider you their godmother

5:23 am

Instead of a PB we should have a bat-cave, á la Gotham city!

lol ruby

5:24 am

oh yes, especially now with Hallowe'en!

5:24 am

sounds good to me!

5:25 am

deb, did it work?

5:26 am

finally !!!! don't know why that was so hard:) ty

5:26 am

wtg! It is babble blindness. Sometimes it is just not possible to see a word.

5:28 am

I try teaching them to wipe their feet, but if husband won't, how can I expect it of the dogs

1:12 pm

1:13 pm

1:13 pm

1:15 pm

I will check your profile when I say uncle

1:16 pm

ty red - I do have the 5, but still trying to figure out how to extend it

1:17 pm

chat is moving slowly -- hubby came down just after my last post to help in the garden -- we have since raked up a back yard full of pine needles

1:18 pm

hi all

2:31 pm

hey, peri :-)

2:37 pm

hi, peri and une!

2:37 pm

hi sue

2:37 pm

howdy, sue! :-)

2:37 pm

are you in a winter wonderland like dorens??

2:37 pm

not sure I like this grid, although I haven't spent enough time with it to be sure :-)

2:38 pm

snow is mostly melted here but it was a mess yesterday and this am

2:38 pm

no, I'm in Illinois, une, yesterday was lovely if cool, and today is grey and blustery, but no snow

2:38 pm

ah, glad to year you are ok, peri!

2:38 pm

way, way too early for snow here

2:39 pm

glad things are better, peri

2:39 pm

I HATE snow/ice

2:39 pm

I will call my dad tomorrow (he is in NJ) to make sure he is managing (which I am sure he is)

2:39 pm

we've had snow here on Halloween before, but it isn't much fun (kids don't like having to wear winter coats on top of their costumes!)

2:39 pm

why not call him today, sue?

2:40 pm

whatever happend with his wife, sue?

2:40 pm

haven't had trick or treaters here for several years -- new family in duplex down the street said they'd probably show up with their dog so I DO have some candy "just in case" LOL

2:40 pm

well, I just had a long talk with him on Friday, and if the power's out his phones won't work (although I suppose I could call his cell phone)

2:41 pm

as far as I know his wife (now ex) is fine, une. Their divorce was final earlier this month.

2:41 pm

brand new baby on either side of me so SOME day there WILL be kids looking for treats LOL

2:41 pm

(oops, that was peri that asked, sorry)

2:41 pm

:-D

2:41 pm

and he is ok with that?

2:42 pm

dorens is in NJ and someone (Annie?) said earlier that she had no power . . . brrrrr

2:42 pm

no, he doesn't like it a bit, but there isn't anything he can do about it so he's going on with his life.

2:42 pm

there is a boy next door and at leasst 2 kids across the street but none of them have tricked or treated

2:42 pm

yes, she posted yesterday on facebook that her power was out, and big trees were down in her yard (she had a picture of them)

2:42 pm

my great nephew who is 2 is supposed to come round later today

2:43 pm

so many folks in Nashville take their kids to the mall or to "Trunk or Treat" parties

2:43 pm

that sounds like a good idea, Une

2:43 pm

ah, we are in a small residential neighborhood in a small town, so we still get a fair number of kids coming around

2:43 pm

oh, that's cool, sue!

2:44 pm

i HATE Halloween too, never did trick or treating as a kid, dont know what we were not allowed to

2:44 pm

i grew up in a small town . . . we collected for UNICEF, then went door to door trick or treating :-)

2:44 pm

not liking this grid, bbl

2:44 pm

we always trick-or-treated; when I was little my mother made all my costumes

2:44 pm

bye, peri! I don't like it either :-)

2:44 pm

i still have an elaborate black and orange clown costume my mom made me a million yrs ago :-)

2:44 pm

me too, sue!

2:45 pm

my costumes are all long gone, but i still have some pictures (notable one of me in a penguin costume)

2:45 pm

yes, this is a tres sucky grid

2:45 pm

how fun, sue LOL

2:46 pm

maybe I will use it as my icon tomorrow - should be able to take a picture of it with my phone, assuming I can find it

2:46 pm

worst halloween ever was the year I was really sick and had to stay home and hand out the candy . . . bummer

2:47 pm

ick! I remember being sick on Christmas, but I don't think I was ever sick on Halloween

2:47 pm

<---Wants to take Peri trick-or-treating. Halloween is fun for kids (and grown up kids) Peri. I'm sorry you missed out on that.

2:48 pm

the really little kids are so cute! and they are usually very shy - I have to hand them their candy :-)

2:48 pm

i agree, molly -- was lots of fun . . . hmmm . . . have pix to select from for icon tomorrow :-)

2:49 pm

My kids were always told this, before we left for trick-or-treating..."If I don't hear you say THANK YOU, you will get no candy when we get home." *Evil Mother*

2:50 pm

I remember when my son was about 2 - a lady down the street held out an apple to him. He looked at it for a bit, then his finger came out and pushed it away :-) (I apologized to her and took it)

2:51 pm

LOLOLOL!!!

2:51 pm

i saw on the news that there's an uber religious group handing out Bibles instead of candy . . . sheesh

2:52 pm

when I lived in Oklahoma (close to 30 years ago now) there were parents objecting to Halloween decorations and parties in the schools - they thought it was Satanic (having never lived in the South before, I was astounded)

2:54 pm

oh, sue, i used to work for a religious nonprofit and there were some ladies who felt that way - I decorated myself and my office anyway -- am sure they figured I was going straight to hell! LOL

I monkeyed Ghandi's name and lo...

2:54 pm

go, kap!!!!!!!!!!!

Because it's not a name, it's a title.

How bout that.

2:55 pm

we had a Dia de los Muertos / Samhain ceremony this morning - remembering those who have died - usually I am able to keep my composure during these things but today I completely lost it :-(

Trailer for sale or rent, rooms to let 50 cents

No food no phone no pets

ain't got no cigarettes...

2:56 pm

since I lost my mom in January, the least little thing gets me choked up . . . am hoping that will improve gradually . . .

I'm a man of means by no means

King of the Road!

2:56 pm

king of the road!!

2:57 pm

oh, une, I'm sure it will! although it can take a surprisingly long time

2:57 pm

Oh...I would have something to say about my kid getting a Bible for trick-or-treat.

2:57 pm

Roger Miller

Most of my loved ones died in January-not considering how much I hate standing in the cold.

2:57 pm

(((Une)))

2:57 pm

hey, seaspray!!

2:57 pm

I haven't lost a close relative since my sister died in 2001, and as I say, mostly I have gotten through the grief but sometimes it hits me

2:57 pm

Hey Unea

2:58 pm

Sue, I think those occasions are just a nice window to let out what you've been keeping in. Glad you got one.

2:58 pm

my sister died in January 2001, kap, and she lived in New Hampshire - the ground then is too frozen to dig graves so she wasn't buried until June - it was like starting the grieving process all over again. Not fun.

Parents- it's been a while though. Nephew. My good friend lost both parents within 2 weeks of each other in January ...

2:59 pm

indeed, molly, it seems to have been what I needed

2:59 pm

hi, sea!

Two hours of pushing broom buys a 8x12 four-bit room...

Such is life. How are things in Salem, Seaspray?

3:00 pm

Hi Sue...am into this football game...driving me crazy!

Maggie Daniels biological mother--really?

3:01 pm

I was a little surprised to see that athame is not a word in Enable's dictionary...

And they're only spent a week or two searching- instead of 6 months?

3:01 pm

I am thinking things in Salem are about to change lol

3:01 pm

which game, sea? (can you tell I am not a big sports fan?)

3:02 pm

Oh yeah, the Maggie/Daniel thing...just plain dumb

3:02 pm

Raven and Cardinals Sue

3:02 pm

oops Ravens even

Sports...soaps...politics...

3:02 pm

ah, thanks, sea :-)

3:03 pm

who is Maggie Daniels?

3:03 pm

I do sports and soaps...stay away from politics lol

3:03 pm

Maggie and Daniel are 2 characters on Days of our Lives

Excuse me- typo. As in Maggie- Daniel's biological mother?

3:04 pm

ah. Fortunately I don't have to ask what Days of our Lives is although I don't think I've ever watched it.

3:06 pm

my grandmother was so into "As the World Turns," she would send birthday cards to the characters! LOL

See, Daniel found out a long time ago that he was Melanie's real father, and now apparently Maggie is going to be her real grandmother. Which makes her future step grandfather her ex-father-in-law. Wait. Her biological mother had also been married to her ex-father-in-law/future step grandfather, if you follow me

3:06 pm

thats funny Unea

3:07 pm

sea, did you get much snow??

Ha ha, Une.

3:08 pm

5 or 6 inches...what a mess yesterday..we were at my fathers farm setting up for a halloween party..snow, sleet, rain

3:08 pm

jeezomeez

3:08 pm

yuck, une! I hope it all melts soon!

3:08 pm

if it's on a farm will there be a hayride?

Don't ask her why she needs to be so free/ she'll tell you it's the only way to be...

You all get the benefit of my mp3 player.

There's no time to lose I heard her say. Cast your dreams before they slip away.

3:09 pm

ah, mine has mostly Leonard Cohen on it, kap

3:09 pm

ahh, we usually do a (believe this or not) zoo tram ride . Tractor hooked up to a zoo tram lol but not this year

Dying all the time-lose your dreams and you will lose your mind/in life unkind

I had an unhealthy crush on Leonard Cohen when I was in high school

3:10 pm

aahhh, love me some Leonard Cohen . . .

3:10 pm

sounds like fun, sea :-)

3:11 pm

I still have an unhealthy crush on him, kap!

3:11 pm

when I was in high school, Pam Carlton and I would go down in her basement, turn off the lights, and listen to the Beatles

3:11 pm

it is, my father got the trams from the Baltimore zoo when they got new ones

then dylan said I had to choose one or the other

3:11 pm

listening to Night Comes On - good Day of the Dead song

3:11 pm

sea, that's amazing!

3:11 pm

ooh, very cool, sea!

3:12 pm

he also loans them to Lions club when they are in the local firemans parade..so they do get some use

Who remembers the summer of Sergeant pepper? Who remembers what they had for breakfast this morning?

3:13 pm

excellent!

cool about the trams.

3:13 pm

oh, kap, I was a student in France the summer of Sergeant Pepper -- the memories!!!!!!!!!!!

There will never be anything like "the summer of Sgt. Pepper" again- too many people listen to too much crappy music from too many sources. It was fun to share major cultural events with one's peers...

3:15 pm

sergeant pepper and micro-minis and thigh high boots! LOL

3:15 pm

ah, Leonard Cohen is singing I'm Your Man now - sigh...

Like the one night a year that The Wizard of Oz was on TV (in b&w) and everyone would stay home and watch...

3:16 pm

LOOOVVVED his soundtrack to McCabe and Mrs. Miller

3:16 pm

yes yes yes!!

I didn't see it in color till college...

I am a geezer!

3:16 pm

and Peter Pan was on once a year too!

3:16 pm

me too, kap! LOL

3:17 pm

my mom and I would watch together and clap like crazy to save Tinkerbell!!!!

Yeah, and we didn't notice the wires in Peter Pan. Or how totally gay Cyril Ritchard played Captain Cook.

3:18 pm

oh, I know -- he was WONDERFUL

Totally went right by me.

Yeah, but he was camping it up and we didn't even notice.

3:18 pm

Captain Hook, my dear :-)

Wait a minute.

3:18 pm

oh my goodness...this game was tied and we just we just won with no time left!!

3:19 pm

wow, sea!!

3:19 pm

3:23 pm

pumpkin would be good, sea :-)

3:23 pm

:-D

3:23 pm

She dresses up to hand out candy to the kids now

3:23 pm

a preggo friend of mine went as a chef. and on her belly was a sign, "bun in the oven"

4:40 pm

While the crew of Apollo 13 didn’t get to make their scheduled Moon landing, they did set a record that still stands: they’re the humans who traveled the furthest distance from the Earth (nearly 250,000 miles).

4:41 pm

good one crossy

4:41 pm

not bad on one tank of gas eh? lol

4:41 pm

huh, moon must have been at apogee

4:42 pm

wonder what that would be in gallons of gas?

4:42 pm

or liquid nitrogen as the case may be

4:42 pm

aww I didn't see that crossy..we must think alike

4:42 pm

mm have to remember a gallon first..mmm..how may cubits in a gallon again? lol

4:42 pm

oxygen, actually, I think

4:43 pm

I saw the movie..do you know the date?

4:43 pm

i do not

4:43 pm

must have been around 1972

4:43 pm

I was thinking about then too

4:44 pm

Apollo 8 (the first one that landed) was in 1969 (I remember it well)

4:44 pm

and think on this peeps,they did all that with less that 1 gig of computing power..less than on most modern cell phones

4:44 pm

a LOT less, I think!

4:44 pm

was in hospital for Apollo 11 3rd daughter just born

4:45 pm

i thing it was just a few hundred meg or less sue

4:46 pm

such a shame the program is over

4:46 pm

now we all have to hitch a ride with the soviets

4:46 pm

well it was time to retire the shuttle but we should have had the next thing ready to go

4:47 pm

sadly the states cannot afford a big flashy space program at this time

4:47 pm

some things should take priority

4:48 pm

maybe some private companies will step up

4:48 pm

here NASA is encouraging private designers to think up the next wonder space craft..think prize is a million dollars

4:48 pm

snap

4:50 pm

I hate to think the age of exploration is over

4:50 pm

Do you also ha 4/5 the idea of being se 4/4 to the PB?

4:51 pm

not me, there are usually nice treats in there!

4:51 pm

off I go

4:51 pm

we had a fella here who managed to get a balloon and a cheap camera up into orbit,burn up it,s roll of film and land again with the camera intact..NASA was wuite interested to see shots that normally thiers alone taken with 700 dollars worth of cobbled together parts

4:51 pm

quite

4:51 pm

I've seen more than one video like that, crossy, very cool!

4:52 pm

There is NASA in Canada?

4:52 pm

4:52 pm

4:53 pm

4:58 pm

yuppers

5:00 pm

that was so much fun,you all get a second tidbit today!!

5:00 pm

Mozart’s “Ah! Vous Dirai-je, Maman” might well be his most popular melody — it’s the tune used in both “The Alphabet Song” and “Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star

5:01 pm

didn't he compose it when he was 6?

5:02 pm

not sure westford,i would have to wiki it

5:02 pm

... I'll check ... but I think he was a bit older than that

5:03 pm

he was 25

5:04 pm

and it seems there are 12 variations of the tune

5:04 pm

aww I always thought he was 6

5:06 pm

can anyone translate the title?

5:09 pm

Ah! I shall tell you, Mama

5:09 pm

... I believe ... WHat will you say to me, mama ... but ask rubyfoo to be sure

5:10 pm

thanks crossy and dos I got you and Mama

5:10 pm

I never ha 4/5ed Halloween when I was little.My ma4/6 made my costume for me every year. She sewed all the se5/12 together and created great costumes.Each year her costumes were better th 4/5 the previous year. She even made costumes for our pet mu 4/6. Mom always se 4/4 us out with my Dad to go trick-or-treating so she could stay at home in 6/21 and give out candy to trick-or-treaters. I remember one year I dressed up as a chamberma4/5. My friend, na 4/5d Ja 4/9, and I went trick-or-treating up & down Ma 4/5 Street. We obta4/4ed a lot of candy that year. Ja4/9 and I filled up our wa4/9s w/candy. My street was never ta 4/6 on Halloween.There was always Halloween ma5/12 on my street with houses being egged & toilet papered. Da4/6! Husband wants computer. I will give it to him because he ha5/12 waiting for it.I will get out of this se4/4 now and go make some st 5/12ed clams. Th4/5 is what we are going to di 4/5 on tonight. I hope you have made some se5/10 of my hi5/12 and found some more words. I will be back later on to help with clues.

Hi Wht. Are you buried in snow?

7:54 pm

We only got about 5 inches here, but central and western Mass got buried.

7:54 pm

We were lucky, we only lost power for about 4.5 hours and that was in the middle of the night.

7:55 pm

Oh good. I wasn't sure where you were in Mass and I heard parts got clobbered.

7:56 pm

Still, there were trees and power lines down on the streets on either side of us.

7:59 pm

I could here branches cracking during the night. We only lost a large branch from a maple tree and a couple of branches from our lilacs.

7:59 pm

Too early for snow.

8:00 pm

That seems to be a pretty universal opinion around here.

8:05 pm

Congratulations cosdem on fireworks! Hooray for you

8:14 pm

Th 4/5 is second time today I spilled th 4/5 word. I'm already in the PB for it.I guess I won't be getting out of the PB anytime soon. I will continue to clue from PB

8:14 pm

Hello Eva! How are you doing? Welcome to the puzzle.

8:15 pm

I wonder if the singer Ad7/36 was born there as well.

8:15 pm

thank you. doing well, if a bit shocked by the sudden winter, like so many othrs

8:15 pm

no-never even heard of him until I tried giving my address to younger people

8:15 pm

how are you min?

8:16 pm

Heard Vermont didn't get as much snow as New York.

8:16 pm

I am well.Just finished filling 80 baggies for Halloween.

8:16 pm

no-only a few inches, and since our leaves were pretty much all gone it wasn't half as destructive

8:17 pm

i miss the trick or treaters from the city. here the kids all go into town because there are too many miles between houses.

8:17 pm

Hi Eva.

8:17 pm

hi wht

8:18 pm

used to live in JP wht

8:18 pm

found our cat, the one in the photo, at the Arlington Alliance for Animals

8:18 pm

I never realized leaves add a lot more weight to trees

8:19 pm

well they catch and hold the snow, which was a very wet one

8:19 pm

It isn't the weight of the leaves, Min, so much as there is much more area for the snow to stick to. It is the snow that is heavy.

8:19 pm

My backyard and frontyard looks like a war zone now

8:19 pm

Did you loose power, min?

8:19 pm

DUH! Stupid me. You gave a very logical answer wht.

8:20 pm

No, thank God. Didn't lose powerful which is why I am here. The power flickered off and on but it stayed on

8:21 pm

But wet leaves can be pretty heavy by themselves. So it all adds up.

8:21 pm

ad clues?

8:22 pm

ad 7/36 is the name of a popular 80s singer Shirlockc.

8:23 pm

8:24 pm

One of the lenses fell out. Frank is trying to fix them.

8:49 pm

hi Min, wht, and sue. Anyone else around tonight?

8:49 pm

But I am extremely nearsighted without them

8:49 pm

Sherlock was here a bit ago.

8:50 pm

still here, working on the grid

8:50 pm

atching next iron chef and wishing i had someone to cook pork for me mmmmmm pork :)

8:50 pm

that would be *watching :)

8:51 pm

Sorry for getting your name wrong, shirl, my phone is trying to spell for me

8:51 pm

amazing episode..

8:51 pm

oh, man! I'd be totally blind trying to fix something up close like that (I've actually sat on my glasses -more than once through the years!- and knocked out the lenses doing that. Luckily, DH can see without his glasses for close up stuff; but he can't see a darn thing farther than 3-4 feet without them. We complement each other in so many ways! :-)

8:51 pm

no prob, i knew who you were talking about :)

8:52 pm

Shirl, perhaps you and crossy should get together and cook up some pig.

8:52 pm

hi cos and shirl

8:52 pm

I can see really close right now, probably I should go help him.

8:52 pm

And hi, cos!

8:53 pm

i had dinner and i'm still salivating watching this show

8:54 pm

I just hope we have a teeny enough screwdriver. I'll be sunk tomorrow without my glasses.

8:55 pm

DH has used the tip of a pen knife to fix mine before

8:56 pm

clue for the ma7 please.

8:56 pm

He tried that but it wasn't small enough.

8:58 pm

evening all

8:58 pm

Evening jes.

8:58 pm

Hi, jes!

8:58 pm

how about the tip of a cuticle scissors? (trying to think of something tiny enough)

8:58 pm

hi jes

8:59 pm

ma + cap + marjorie main

8:59 pm

Wal-mart sells the little screwdrivers

9:00 pm

Ahh, I should have recognized Mr. Gandhi.

9:00 pm

I think we have a set of miniature screwdrivers, it's just a matter of finding them

9:00 pm

And hi, br!

9:01 pm

thanks, bab

9:01 pm

Of course, you also need to get another pair of reading glases so you can see to fix your reading glasses.

9:01 pm

st 7/28?

9:01 pm

Ours are never where they belong either. I swear people in this house have no clue about putting stuff back where they got things

9:02 pm

st 7 - 49% of males are men +pismire or emmet

9:02 pm

i am still staring at your st 4/4 lol

9:03 pm

whee! bottom row grey! :D (laughing at self)

9:05 pm

So if it takes the st5 that keeps your arteries open, why won't it take the plural?

9:05 pm

boom! fireworks!

9:05 pm

Because that would make sense, uu

9:05 pm

Yay, Leslie!

9:06 pm

Congrats LA

9:06 pm

yay leslie!

9:06 pm

Because ENABLE is a master of resistentialism.

9:07 pm

not getting the st7 clue ...

9:07 pm

Congratulations LeslieAnn on fireworks! Good for you

9:08 pm

Probably it has another meaning but its scrolled off the bottom of my phone screen and I can't check

9:08 pm

And I don't get it either, shirl

9:08 pm

st 7/32 word is plural of the st 6/21 word which is st plus vowel plus not females Shirlockc.

9:08 pm

Thanks, min!
