12:33 am

hi mrp, hugs and thanks for clues

12:33 am

i actually put my mouse up on the screen! LOL!! cracked myself up!!

12:33 am

flosey, i"ll never forget running out on the tarmac in what was then Idlewild with my baby son in my arms, crying with joy at seeing my beloved dad after all those years.

12:34 am

hi mrp -- hope things are working out for a change

12:34 am

am taking my break from 12-14 hours of hospital stay with darling Maddison.

12:34 am

hang in- we are sending good thoughts your way

12:35 am

ah jilli, we can only imagine

12:35 am

thank you all :)) I love my babble friends! makes a huge world of difference to have positive thoughts.

12:35 am

WHAT??? Maddie in hospital? Why?

12:37 am

jilli, it is just the usual... only this time, I have been pushed to the brink cause there is no clear explaination as to why she is so so sick after getting a virus.... FOR OVER 2 WEEKS! This has been going on for about 3 years now. And the school sent out an officer to check on her on Thursday. I was absolutely livid!!!

12:38 am

She has an immune disorder only when she gets a virus, not a bacteria.

12:38 am

have they checked for amoebas?

12:39 am

My brother as sick on and off for a long time and they found a infection in his blood. He had to have IV's but it cleared once they knew what it was

12:39 am

a bacterium. Bacteria is the plural. I had to learn that too, when I took bacteriology, lol!

12:39 am

they are doing that dcs, they are doing bloody everything! She has had so much blood drawn....

12:40 am

:(

12:40 am

sigh.

12:40 am

well, they can't test for a specific bacterium as there are so many!!! but they have decided that it is related to her stomach

12:40 am

so, something changed 3 years ago. hm.

12:41 am

yes, she got Ross River Fever.

12:41 am

mrp, nobody can say you and yours lead a dull life.

12:42 am

is a lovely mosquito infection of the blood that likens itself to Glandular Fever

12:42 am

<-- goes to google Ross River Fever

12:42 am

jilli, we are extraordinary!!

12:43 am

huh. the wikipedia article on Ross River Fever indicates that for some few people, symptoms go on for years.

12:44 am

<-- resolves to use lots of mosquito repellent when in Oz

12:44 am

and we love y'all in all y''all's extraodanariness , mrp :)

12:45 am

We have almost no mosquitos here in paradise

12:46 am

yes, thanks to the bats and dragonflies

12:47 am

no bats or dragonflies up here, flosey -- maybe too dry for the skeeters

12:48 am

(flosey lives in a very different part of this island, down in a valley. I'm on a rocky hill)

12:48 am

yep, and she gets sick and doesn't recover well at all

12:49 am

yes jilli, you never leave the house without spraying yourself with 'buzz off'

12:49 am

poor Maddie! Is she out of the hospital now?

12:49 am

she should be home today jilli, it is late afternoon saturday here. so would like her home

12:50 am

Do they sell "buzz off" at the airport upon arrival, mrp?

12:50 am

well, it is called 'Off'... and yes, they sell repellants at airport

12:51 am

NBT btw

12:51 am

on ya jilli!

12:51 am

dcs, took your advice... change of meds has occurred and change of outpatient structure.

12:52 am

Oh, tyvm -- will get some "Off" (with Deet, I hope) asap there

12:52 am

oh, good, may it be for the best, mrp. Trust your instincts about changes due to meds.

12:52 am

i am allergic to mosquitoes and have to wear the stuff all the time between Sept and May

12:53 am

thank you dcs... you made it all better (((hugs)))

12:54 am

jilli, not to be confused with 'Pi$$ Off' ... for animal urine odours! LOL!!

12:54 am

oh, thanks, mrp, for clarifying that, lol!

12:55 am

I am an instictive person... very much so. If it doesn't 'feel right', I will investigate all avenues

12:55 am

LOL jilli!!

12:55 am

If you see it in my cupboards, just don't spray it on yourself!! LOL!! I swear we have that here!

12:55 am

("Off" is sold here too -- just not necessary in these here parts, like)

12:56 am

My q's are qu 4, 6, 5, 5, 4, 4, 5 - what am I missing?

12:56 am

Could someone give me a clue for the da7? pls :)

12:56 am

you can buy non-aerosol 'Off' and bring with you in your bag

12:56 am

fireworks, and off to bed, another busy day tomorrow

12:56 am

bye flosey! lovely to see you hun :)

12:56 am

We have something like Piss Off here too, to keep the deer from eating out gardens. It doesn't owrk. Only fences do.

12:57 am

we can't keep anything out here, unless they are electric fences!

12:57 am

Good grief, flosey! Well done!

12:57 am

a joint effort jilli, but thanks

12:58 am

what wildlife are you keeping out, mpr?

12:58 am

(mrp)

12:59 am

wild pigs... my favourite, they go through fences... kangaroos go over fences, and goanna, snake and spider creatures go under...

12:59 am

is anyone doing clues? ^_^

only if they have the word tfg :))

i don't have the one you asked for, sorry

1:01 am

oh dear, did I kill the chog?

1:01 am

oh dear, did I kill the chog?

1:01 am

Don't know if I can clue it

1:01 am

oh dear, did I kill the chog?

1:01 am

I need a qu 5

1:04 am

1:04 am

Fireworks

da7 is a hebrew teacher

1:05 am

Happy babbling everyone - I'm off

on ya anike!!

1:09 am

nite

1:10 am

wild pigs? You need a Great Dane, mrp -- they were bred to hunt the wild boar, lol.

1:10 am

bye anike -- wd!

1:10 am

I don't know from Hebrew teachers, awreddy.

ok, where do I get one?? and how much $$ does it take to feed it?? LOL!! My son would outdo the Dane on food intake and they may fight over the meat!

1:11 am

ty fro da7

1:12 am

hi/bye and congrats, anike

1:13 am

Danes don't eat nearly as much as you might think -- about as much as a German Shepherd -- and if you really would like one, I hope to meet a good Dane person in Sydney -- someone who actually bought my book!

1:13 am

wont be a problem mrp - the dane will catch the pigs and meat for all

ah!! will have to ask around the Dane community

LOL ursh! too right!

1:14 am

Tey have to have a balanced diet -- not too much meat without the right amount of calcium and phosphorus

so a Great Dane will actually 'bring home the bacon' for us?? They will hunt and kill and return to the homestead?

1:15 am

well, that wild boar thing was a long time ago. Now they'd probably kiss them to death.

1:16 am

May I please have a clue for da7-36? I don't know the Hebrew teacher.....thanks

hahaha!! love it jilli!

1:16 am

peach, daughters of the american * and tai **** panda

sorry, still half asleep; i hae that oe as well

7:38 am

chop the beginning off the geometric shape

have that one as well as the liquid measure

7:40 am

do you have the pl of to "give up"?

DOH1 ty!

7:42 am

as many times as I remind myself to look for plurals.. (-:

i have a questio: if you get a gift receipt for a present, can the person get cash back?

7:45 am

Depends on the card. But most of them require you to spend the whole thing via the card. That way they get extra money if you only have $1.50 left on the card and you pay the rest in cash.

7:45 am

you or the recipient? The recipient usually gets an exchange..

i always wonder if i get a gift receipt, if the folks get credit for what i paid or what the item is selling for at the time i purchased it. i thought at sears they tried to give credit at the after christmas sale price, not what i bought it for. yes i mean the recipient.

7:47 am

good question, TO

ty all for your help

7:52 am

the recipient should be able to get cash back IF the receipt and the exchange are done within 30 days or what ever time limit the store has.

7:53 am

Sorry, I thought we were talking gift cards. *gets more coffee*

7:53 am

the amount should be for what YOU paid for the gift. the only time it wouldn't would be without a receipt and it would be an exchange for current or lesser value of the item.

7:54 am

well, that makes sense, lbd.. without a receipt, you have to take the "going" price

7:55 am

and most likely, you will not get the taxes paid on the item since that is state/county regulated and not thru the store.

7:55 am

WOW, I rule at babble! I have only been playing for about ten seconds today, and I have the whole left column greyed! Go ME!

7:56 am

lol trif

7:56 am

wtg, Trif! lol

8:05 am

8:06 am

Aloysius, are you still teaching?

8:06 am

no, have been retired for a while, Trif

8:06 am

oh, okay. I love your profile story!

8:07 am

had to quit Babbling when I taught

8:07 am

ty, Trif..

8:07 am

well, that is reason enough to retire right there!

8:08 am

lol.. true

8:09 am

aargh, missed two plurals already.. ah well, glad for a list

8:09 am

shows me how blind I am

8:09 am

I heard an interesting thing the other day, on NPR or somewhere, I forget, that said that college grads now won't consider applying for jobs where using social media during work hours is not permitted. I was rather put off by that. In this economy, being picky over jobs seems ill advised, at best

8:10 am

hello all, very tired,another sleepless night

8:10 am

sorry to hear that peri, but glad you found your way to babble

8:10 am

h'mm, doesn't seem that the decision would be a choice.. hi peri, sorry for your insomnia, hate it when that happens

8:10 am

found 72 words when I could not sleep. need help with the 15 left pls

8:10 am

This is the attitude of the latest generation. Some won't take jobs where there isn't a gym, or a latte machine...

8:11 am

help with w words needed

8:11 am

good grief re the younger generation and work

8:11 am

I agree godthaab, and it makes me worry....I have three teens....need to make sure they dont' have

8:11 am

I will feel better after a shower

8:11 am

THAT attitude!

8:11 am

missing one of the q words

8:12 am

The right of entitlement. I wonder where it comes from...

8:12 am

well triff,if this batch of silver spoon graduates set standards like that,there will just be many cases where they remain on the unemployment line

8:12 am

good morning everyone

8:12 am

howdy crossy

8:12 am

good morning crossy! I was hoping to see you this morning....

8:12 am

'morning, babblers

8:12 am

If you don't have the gym, they will go work for someone who does.

8:12 am

I fear it comes from above, godthaab, which is why I am careful with the choices that I make as a parent

8:12 am

why ty trif,it is nice to see you as well:)))

8:13 am

godthaab, I think what happens is they don't work anywhere, as they are STARTLED and baffled to discover the place with the gym just might be able to live without them, and then they sit around drinking $9 coffees and whining about how no one appreciates them

8:14 am

google the clip called three and a half days trif

8:15 am

thanks, I will!

8:15 am

You are absolutely right, although I think the education system is part of the problem. I HIGHLY recommend "All Must Have Prizes" by Melanie Philips. If anyone out there does not know about her, they should.

8:15 am

Yes!

8:18 am

hmmm, crossy, I have seen that video, and whilst I agree with a very few of the points, mostly I disagree. most of the protesting at occupy movements is about VERY unfair lending and banking practices, NOT the unavailability of six figure jobs

8:19 am

mm perhaps,heck i carry a card that charges 20% like everyone else

8:19 am

however, I still adore you however

8:19 am

and you are still my favorite trif;)

8:19 am

tho I don't know why I felt it necessary to say "however" twice....

8:20 am

no problem..no grammar nazi,s here

8:20 am

...and every movement has it's clueless element. I once saw a woman marching around outside of a Jordan Marsh store holding up a "fur is murder" sign, whilst wearing a full length black leather coat. FAIL

8:20 am

and you can eat the salad with the seafood fork and visa vera:)

8:21 am

lol,fail indeed

8:21 am

hey all.. first two columns gray!LOL

8:21 am

go m9 go!

8:21 am

multiply the length by the wi5 to get the area.. clue for peri.. am done and need to scoot.. hagd all! poof

My 2 cents. Most employers hirer just out of school graduates that have the intellect of a postage stamp over good grads

8:22 am

thanks aloy!

I don't really sleep to late. Hi Kap and peri and trifs and Crossie and Molly and alloy

8:25 am

87...disappointing.

8:26 am

good morning scrabbler!

8:26 am

Good day kids.

And another thing that bothers me is people saying people lost their homes from over extending mortgages that are out of the price line for them when in fact people with $100k loans and return soldiers are losing their homes which isn't right

8:26 am

oh, I have good news to share!

Hi Scrabble miss seeing you. Share trifs

8:27 am

I come and go, herin. I pass halfway and am done.

8:27 am

*waiting for Trif's news*

8:27 am

many of you know that tertiares' best friend, Nikki, was diagnosed with cancer, and had surgery recently. It looks like all went very well, and all of her latest bone, lung, stomach, and marrow scans can back clean and clear. It is an absolute answer to prayer!

Yah Trifs

8:28 am

Woohoo! What a relief! What type of cancer?

Trifs I was talking to T he loves Masart

8:28 am

she had tumors in her adrenal gland and gall bladder

And yes he does miss

8:29 am

Glad to hear it, herin! He is very happy there, that is for sure!

8:29 am

yaaaa!!!! i love a cancer victory!! and a clean bill of health

8:29 am

? neuroblastoma

You guys but wont admit it

8:30 am

Pediatric oncology is frightening world. Mostly victories but full of fear and sadness and pain.

8:30 am

and our hospital for sick children is now hard at work on a non-toxic chemo blend!

8:30 am

thanks crossy. Children's Hospital in Boston is either the happiest or the scariest place I have ever been. I swear, you go in there stressing over your child (or her best friend) and you leave thanking GOD you have yours, and not anyone else's

I would like to ask the Fates where they get off making kids sick

8:30 am

CHB is one of the best kids' hospitals in the world.

8:31 am

I don't know the name of the type of cancer, scrabbler...sorry!

8:31 am

no one makes kids sick herin, it just happens.

We have a

8:31 am

i have been there trif, in a cancer lodge for princess margerettes as we we people from all across canada and the kids stay there as well..it rips your heart out

Crud try again. We have a new kids hospital here and it has a display for Mercats

8:32 am

yes, nikki's dad goes to our church, and he said often what a huge blessing it was that we live so near CHB, and how the parking lot was full of cars from all over, but he and his wife had the luxury of being able to take turns going home to be with their other kdis

8:33 am

Q done

8:34 am

I need 3 Q's after doing several sq words.

8:34 am

I have two q's left myself

8:35 am

herin, look! Freo is in the grid! I should tell secondo!

My high school friends little boy was run over and lost his foot and crushed his other leg. The other day a man in the lift said to him ' are your toes hiding?' quick smart he replied ' I haven't got any torso' he is a really resilient funny 4 year old the hospital and church there have been amazing she is many many miles from home

8:36 am

not all have a vowel after the qu

8:36 am

i am in the tv room in my jammies,trying to kill the nausea after a treatment,and this little ten year old blond haired girl comes in.you know the history already from the nurses.she has brain cancer and they cannot get to it and are trying a heavy does of chemo and her hair is just starting to come out.you make her stop crying about her hair by telling her it will all grow back,and she tells you how when this is all over she will learn to ride that horse,or go swimming or run around with her friends on the soccor field once again.i smile and pat her shoulder and wish her a good night and go back to my room knowing she will never leave this hospital.damn cancer! i had forgotten bout her till now..brb

Did Secondo tell you U said hi the other day when she was on your FB

8:36 am

yes she did!

8:37 am

oh crossy.....

whew, Crossy.

8:37 am

But she was able to dream because of you.

See Crossie Fates upstairs need a kick in the asses

That is one thing kids teach you. Hope and the courage not to give up.

8:40 am

BRB. I must fetch some breakfast.

8:40 am

8:40 am

Good morning all

8:41 am

Hi bob. I am going to sleep or play a bit more.

8:41 am

8:41 am

8:42 am

I should think you would need a shot of something in that tea, crossy. wow.

8:42 am

8:50 am

8:50 am

Next I need one more S.

8:50 am

(((wonders if tertiare is now feeling entitled?)))

8:51 am

mm crossy aka mr 2.5 is deciding how he wants his eggs this morning lol

8:51 am

That is one of your job requirements, Trif. And ALL adolescents feel entitled. They are self-absorbed.

8:51 am

I have all the S: all sq

8:51 am

lol indeed scrabby!

8:52 am

Omelet?

8:52 am

5 6 7 5 5

8:52 am

Aha, calamari!

8:52 am

I must say, the F words are giving me a run for my money today....

8:52 am

with salsa and flax oil

8:52 am

the F words are FRUSTRATING!!!

8:52 am

I need 6 more Fs

8:53 am

sounds good scrabby,i have some mushrooms and sweet onions and smoked ham.then ill add some toasted english muffins with some nice strawberry jam...mmm

8:53 am

crossy loooves calamari

8:53 am

oooh, I had great calamari yesterday, with balsamic vinegar and a bunch of other spices...it was delightful!

8:54 am

Sounds yummy, Crossy.

8:54 am

mmmm,i like mine covered in batter and lightly fried and then a squeeze of lemon and fresh ground peppercorns

8:55 am

I think my favorite is sauteed in olive oil and a little garlic

8:55 am

mmmm

8:55 am

I'll pass.

8:55 am

reminds me,there are report now of phony extra virgin olive oils out there

8:56 am

I visited an olive oil shop yesterday. I was stunned at the extensive variety of flavored oils and vinegars!

8:56 am

so by a popular name and look for a "picked on" date or pressed on date on the bottle.those are usually genuine

8:56 am

oh...F. It's gonna be one of "those" days with tertiare....she has been whinging full stop since her feet hit the floor. I will need extra patience today....and supernanny's phone number!

8:57 am

Stay calm and in control. don't get sucked into her drama.

8:57 am

poor trif:((

8:57 am

i tend to stick with good itallian olive oils

8:58 am

Adolescent girls are very challenging!

8:59 am

my boy is 18 now,he just sleeps and grunts at people.unless of coure he needs money or something else then he is very verbose

8:59 am

I don't want to say too much, but she was just diagnosed with a major anxiety issue, and it is proving very hard to deal with. Mostly because she knows, and has been milking it like a cow at Hendries dairy

9:00 am

Deep breathing + relaxation are being sent to Tertiare.

9:00 am

she is gonna blow right through my last nerve today, I can tell.

9:00 am

best way to defuse that is show her how many people deal with the same thing and are well adjusted and taking meds when they should.so that she is not using it as a lever or a barganing tool all the time

9:00 am

send it with an atavan chaser, please scrabbler

9:00 am

Stay detached, Trif.

9:01 am

and think "calm blue ocean" lol

9:01 am

well, she just ran upstairs screaming and crying, for the fifth time this morning, so there is an eye in the hurricane for now.

9:01 am

She needs to learn that in spite of her worries that she is still responsible for her words and behaviors.

9:02 am

she needs to go live with her dad....oh, did I just type that out loud?

9:02 am

Would that truly help, Trif?

9:02 am

please, forgive me....if you were here in the room, believe me, you would understand. I love my girl. I do. But she is EXHAUSTING

9:03 am

No, of course not scrabbler, but given that they dont' even go see him for weekends, it would give me a BREAK

9:03 am

my son is adhd and odd and has been for many years and he is like a big antennae,sucking in all the vibes around him,if things are calm,then he is calm,otherwise he will suck up any tesnion or hyper activity and multiply it tenfold

9:03 am

I see it in my practice everyday, Trif. Be calm, be detached. A counselor will teach her to master her anxiety and take charge.

9:04 am

The kids have dropped contact with Dad, Trif?

9:04 am

The adolescent brain is frightening.

9:04 am

Good morning, all. Time to plug in the ear buds, Trif, and listen to the (loud) music while you watch her lips move.

9:04 am

Hi Judi.

9:05 am

all good stuff scrabby.we are fortunate to have you as a babble friend:)))

9:05 am

they don't go for overnights anymore, they did go to his house for about five hours on Thanksgiving, and they speak to him via phone or text a few times a week. Right now Tertiare is battling him to not have to go there at noon on Christmas Day, but at the more preferred three o clock, so they can go to dinner at my moms', which they have done every year of their lives

9:06 am

My children always do much better if they get good positive touching, true connection and a chance to talk.

9:06 am

sorry, shouldn't have said just Tertiare on the Christmas one...NONE of the kids want to go at noon.

9:06 am

http://www.empoweringparents.com/ <---outstanding website!! So much concise, direct advice.

9:06 am

thanks scrabbler, I will definitely check that out! Something around here needs to change...and I am pretty sure it's ME!

9:07 am

hi all can i have a clue to the last qu 5,18 for fireworks ta

9:07 am

Why does Dad's at noon interfere with dinner at Grandma's?

9:07 am

qu + Don't be in such a hurry/*u**.

9:07 am

probably the one that doesn't have a vowel after the qu witchy

9:08 am

hah thats whats confusing me thanks

9:09 am

thanks fireworks

9:09 am

yaa for witchy!!

9:09 am

Yahoo Witchy!

9:09 am

must remeber that for scrabble!!

9:10 am

remember

9:10 am

Molly, Christmas dinner at my mom's starts around 1....sorry, totally sucked into that website scrabbler posted

9:11 am

Trif, I'm so happy to see that you said you think that what needs to change is you. I'm so tired of parents that think that everything is the kid's fault!!

9:11 am

Oh, trust me, m9, I KNOW it's me!!!

9:11 am

Well then Dad should make other plans. Kids should get to spend Christmas the way they want to.

9:11 am

It's really useful, Trif, as it tells parents exactly what to do and say. I recommend to all parents.

9:12 am

I will email you his number molly.....ha ha ha

9:12 am

thank you scrabbler!

9:12 am

oh ugh. the first sentence I read at that empoweringparents site really got my hackles up!!

9:12 am

I'm sorry he's still being a big baby about things Trif.

9:12 am

What is it?

9:14 am

Is it the walking away from fighting with your kid? No one can speak rationally when full of anger. The kid must settle down, then the talk can happen.

9:14 am

clue for qu7, please

9:15 am

no it was the "Just walk away when your child is trying to pull you into a fight".. it was the word "trying"

9:15 am

Children don't WANT to fight.

9:16 am

They want attention, power and control.

9:16 am

qu6= qu + Eagle's nest = ***i*

9:16 am

I think I'd agree with control. We all want agency. But I don't agree with power.

my daughter is also very intense when upset. A psych diagnosis would be meaningless and unecessary, since the key is changing family styles of reacting.

9:17 am

at least not in the sense that word conjures..LOL

Make that both my daughters

9:17 am

Yep, Kap.

9:17 am

my son USED to rage. Until I changed. People now think of him as very mellow.LOL

9:17 am

ty Scrabbler

9:18 am

Good for you, m9.

9:18 am

my kid used to just pound holes in the wall till i reacted,tear the door off the hinges etc talk about rages lol

9:18 am

Kids need to learn to identify and properly deal with their emotions.

9:19 am

So do adults, really.

9:19 am

Gosh. Here I was going to advocate pepper spray and rubber bullets. Another reason I never had kids, I guess.

9:19 am

and my oldest is pretty intense, but she is awesome at figuring things out.LOL

That's the whole art of it, and it can take a lifetime to learn.

9:19 am

police would not give me any capsium spray at the time:)

9:20 am

I enjoyed my dd's latest blog post: http://aidensadvice.blogspot.com/

9:20 am

Yes, m9, problem-solving is an important skill to learn.

9:20 am

it takes time,and understanding ,and not sweating small stuff and they grow and you grow

9:21 am

I love this from enjoyparenting.com "When you can connect with your intrinsic well-being no matter what, you will always be able to help your child find a way back to his or her own well-being."

9:22 am

lol,hold that calm centre,while he sets the house on fire lol

9:22 am

wow, you guys are the greatest! Okay, I have to run...time to take the fur children to the vet. Have a good day alll, and massive love from Boston!

9:23 am

tc ((trif))

9:23 am

m9, is that your daughter's blog? I like her intro--Miss Bossy Pants.

9:23 am

Bye Trif

9:23 am

we got ourselves a wonderful child therapist when he was about 7 till about 15 years of age..she was amazing

9:24 am

we learned just as much as he did

9:24 am

Parenting is damn difficult and there is SO much to learn in order to get your child prepared for the world.

9:25 am

and it is harder than it used to be scrabby,cause the govt and the school also want to parent your child

9:26 am

yes it is

9:26 am

If I had kids I would home-school them.

9:26 am

I opted out of that crossy.

9:26 am

my son has had a note in his file,that he can read ANY book in the library and i do not care if it uses words that are now verboten

9:26 am

yup. I homeschool

9:26 am

we wish we had

9:27 am

last qu5?

9:27 am

LOL crossy! One thing my kids really wanted when we moved was to be close to the library. We were close at our old home. Now we're closer!

9:27 am

no vowel after the qu

9:27 am

just got it

9:27 am

thx m9

9:27 am

qu + To be in a hurry or *u**

9:28 am

i sent my son to get a fresh card just 2 days ago.libraries are a blessing

9:28 am

FYI, arfer is not a word.

9:28 am

neither is warsh.LOL

9:29 am

and we are fortunate,in a period when many provinces and states are cutting back on library funding.we got in ahead of the bad times and just completed a brand new 5 million dollar library

9:29 am

My father says warsh.

9:29 am

my m,i,l says warsh

9:29 am

sweet!

9:29 am

and it is not giant tiger it is giant taaager

9:29 am

oh.. I found another word!! (like pulling teeth)

9:30 am

I have been stuck for 10 minutes.

9:30 am

9:35 am

da7. please

9:35 am

ad 4 and ad 5 i think are mine tailings

9:36 am

or a mine enterance

Daughters of the ..., plus title of king of Iran (before the revolution) with different last consonant

9:37 am

yeah.. I knew that one from crossword puzzles crossy

9:37 am

lol,brb,helen,that clue blinded me.best get more tea for it

9:38 am

ty helen...a new word for me!

9:39 am

I didn't know there was a da7. got it now.

It's a strange word. I was told last night in several clues that it's Hebrew for teacher (though not any of the words you get if you search Hebrew and teacher) - and that didn't help at all. You, crossy, may not be as familiar with the Daugters of the ... as Americans are likely to be.

9:39 am

I had kept trying that without the last two letters though in my monkeying!

I owe the Daughters of the . . . part of the clue to someone from last night - way too late to remember who it was!

9:47 am

ohh... got another f

9:47 am

good morning, everyone :)

9:47 am

just 2 F to go.. off the right one

9:47 am

hi nan

9:59 am

10:00 am

10:00 am

oh no - one 6 and one 5

10:00 am

(can't read the stats board - lol)

10:00 am

ok. one is like the 5 before it but an extra vowel

10:01 am

there's a 5 that has no vowel after the qu

10:01 am

that would be the one!

10:03 am

hints for the qu 6's.

10:03 am

And good morning

10:04 am

there's only one. and it's got an extra vowel in it

10:04 am

ty m9

10:05 am

7 to go.....

10:06 am

the qu 6 has a 4 before it, not a 5

10:07 am

found it

10:07 am

it has extra vowel than the 5 after it

10:07 am

now for that 5/18

10:08 am

sorry

10:08 am

there's no vowel after the qu

10:09 am

yes I saw that, m9 -- have tried the r, d , s and h -- but the monkeys are not cooperating

10:10 am

Restarting the server. Hold on to your hats...

10:13 am

10:40 am

da 6/21 pl of da 5/12

10:40 am

now if i had the 5/12 it would be perfect;)

10:41 am

da 5/12 personifies da 4/5 :)

10:41 am

(and I da4/5 you to guess what da4/5 is)

10:42 am

well there are 2 of them,so i am sure i will get it

10:42 am

oh, duh, then I need the da 7/36... I was thinking that was the plural of 5/12

10:42 am

there we go ty griff

10:42 am

i mean of 6/21

10:45 am

that da 7 is idiotic and i have no idea on how to clue it

10:45 am

da+ cons + old king of iran but change last letter

10:46 am

Great clue, crosshai

10:47 am

i was clued that way earlier but i cannot remember who

10:48 am

whew! w,s are wiped out

It's not idiotic - it just happens to be Hebrew, whic Enable assumes is part of English (along with Dutch and Welsh)

which is why we all love Enable.

12 left, stuck, and I killed the chog.

11:03 am

Chog killer, scarer of tiny babies.

11:05 am

The da7 is no more idiotic than any other non-English word that Enable allows. And there are a ton of them.

11:05 am

she also make dogs go deaf and small children cry:)

11:06 am

yea yea,i get you

Hi Sea, Hi Sadie. Quiet here today.

3:39 pm

hi Molly

3:40 pm

Everyone must be out shopping

3:41 pm

I did almost all of mine on Cyber Monday. Nothing like avoiding crowds and letting UPS bring the stuff to you.

3:42 pm

I did order a few things on line as well, has been a hectic few weeks...sick father in law, viewing and today was the funeral...I am drained and ready for some peace and quiet

3:43 pm

I bet you are ready for some rest!

3:44 pm

I am sadie

3:45 pm

Are those boxers?

3:46 pm

yes they are Ive got four of them

3:46 pm

Oh my! My son rescued one about 5 years ago and my daughter has 2.

3:48 pm

these are also all rescue dogs

3:48 pm

and they make very good pets very sweet

3:49 pm

traw

3:49 pm

3:49 pm

Yes, my grandaughter is 3, she call the dog her brother

3:50 pm

heheheh thts cute :)

3:55 pm

Sea, I'm very sorry about the loss in your family.

4:00 pm

Thank you Molly, it's been very hard as my husband and son were so close to him even though he was 88.

4:14 pm

I hope they can find some peace, Sea. Hard to deal with the loss of a loved one.

4:22 pm

Sea, I'm sorry for your loss. Its a difficult time for all. (((Hugs)))

4:23 pm

Hi Soodle. How's life on the auld sod?

4:25 pm

Hey Molly. Sure, 'tis grand here! (Apart from our currency following our economy down the toilet!) But the weather is lovely, and Christmas is coming!

4:25 pm

Boy-o persuaded me to get some decorations out today. I met him half way. It's a wee bit early for me.

4:26 pm

That last QU word is extremely WACK

and what is it (I have 6 of them)

4:28 pm

I'm holding fire on the decorations for another week or two.... but still getting into the Christmas spirit.

4:29 pm

qu + ma***mallow fluff

4:29 pm

Hi Lil & Kap :-)

4:29 pm

Hi Soodle bumless :)

4:29 pm

Kaplan,qu5/18 q + anagram of hurry

I don't have a 5/18, I have 2 16s

4:30 pm

Soodle and her bum has taken up WAY too much time on the chog!!! Hey Wht :-)

4:30 pm

qu5/18 is the very last QU

I don't think so unless that's the one I', missing

I have the one that says "give up" and thast is my last one on the list

4:31 pm

so there is one MORE, I'm trying to tell you Kap

Name that proper dingbat.

4:32 pm

Kaplan + dingbat

4:32 pm

Edith!!

4:32 pm

Edith

But it's the one I don't have (going in circles)-

4:32 pm

never mind Kap

4:33 pm

if you want the clue, it's at 4:29

4:33 pm

And a fine clue it was Lil : )

4:33 pm

thank u moll, but why bother

this is going in circles, because I tell you I HAVE NO 5/18!!!!!!!!!!

4:33 pm

That did it for me, Lil. Thank you :-)

4:33 pm

How can it be an anagram of hurry when those letters are not on the board?

Are you being serious?

4:34 pm

And Lil's clue at 4:29 is for the 5/18

4:34 pm

It is an anagram of a word that means hurry.

oh, I thought you said "plus"

4:35 pm

Its an odd one Kap. Its 'qu', but doesnt have a vowel following the u..... (probably muddying the waters now...)

4:36 pm

Lil's clue was clearly better than mine, because now my clue has confused the entire chog.

what kind of a word is THAT?

sorry for being dense.

4:37 pm

hioh

Do not take offense

at those who are dense.

4:38 pm

That word is an Enable special, Kap.

4:39 pm

clue for the da7 please.

There may be trouble ahead.

But while there's moonlight and music and love and romance

Let's ...

face the music and dance.

4:40 pm

Was that a clue, Kap, or are you just singing as you play?

Da7 is a nice little Hebrew word that our friends at Enable thing is English.

4:40 pm

nbt

4:41 pm

I'm doodling up my top hat, brushing off white tie, dancing in my tails....

Here's a clue- the villain in Star Wars said by a drunk, ending with author Eda Le Sh** of crossword puzzle fame

4:41 pm

ty Kap. Fireworks for me.

I have 8 left.

4:42 pm

I'm stepping out my dear to breathe an atmosphere that simply reeks with class..........And I trust that you'll excuse my dust when I step on the gas.

4:42 pm

yay wht!

4:42 pm

OK It is time for me to go rustle up some supper. Happy Babbling all.

Oh I'll be there-

4:43 pm

(temporarily ceasing dancing to congratulate Wht....)

If you're blue and you don't know where to go to why don't you go...

where Harlem sits....

4:44 pm

Where Harlem sits.........................Putting on the ..

RITZ!!! That's where each and every Lulubelle goes...

4:44 pm

Kap, I feel a duet coming on.........

every Thursday evening with her swell beaus...

rubbin' elbows!

No one ever wrote lyrics that great again till Eminem!

4:46 pm

<---Does NOT consider Eminem a great lyricist

Come let's mix where Rockefellers walk with sticks and their umbrellas...

4:46 pm

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BAZhHXs knd8&feature=fvst

Molly, I have to open you up to Eminems's lyrics, and even Lady Gaga. I know you can't stand them, but ...

Molly just threw a brick at me.

OWWWW>

I loved A Very Gaga thanksgiving.

There. I said it and I'm glad.

Duet with Tony Bennett was great,

I get too hungry for dinner at 8.

4:50 pm

I'm very much "to each their own" when it comes to music Kap. The vehicle itself is a powerful thing. Who is driving it is a matter of personal taste.

I like the theater but never come late. I never bother with people I hate. That's why...

4:50 pm

And an all time personal favourite...http://tinyurl.com/chwhnkn

the Lady is a Tramp.

4:51 pm

yay! ella! :)

Link didn't work for me. but if it's Ella, I'm down with that.

4:51 pm

i didn't look at the link, just the lyrics for lady is a tramp :)

4:51 pm

Oh Kap, Ella is the queen of The Lady Is A Tramp.

I think Lena Horne is.

4:52 pm

Nope, it was supposed to be Deano singing Thats Amore... A Karoke fail for me, back in the day..

4:52 pm

Lena Horne is the queen of Stormy Weather.

4:53 pm

<---Would pay a small fortune to see Soodle singing That's Amore at Karaoke Night

AND the Lady is a Tramp. And "Can't Help Lovin Dat Man of Mine"...

Lena Horne is the QUEEN.

Meantime I still got 8 left and am not gonna make it.

4:56 pm

One time, on holiday, with more than one cocktail on board, I took over the mike and did Thats Amore. It was quite hideous. Hubby videoed it, and the following morning, I couldn't work out how to erase the horror of it all, so I set the video to 'record' and aimed it at the static kettle and taped over the evidence.

4:56 pm

not gonna make it? why not?

4:56 pm

(23 left here)

4:57 pm

Just the idea of That's Amore sung with an Irish accent sets me to giggles.

because I'm too busy singing and discussing matters of taste.

4:58 pm

heh

Danny Boy with an Italian accent?

Come on and hear, come on and hear...

Alexander's Ragtime Band.

4:59 pm

Factor in a less than sober Irish accent, Molls, and you are getting into the zone........

They can play a bugle call like you never heard before

5:00 pm

I get the giggle fits listening to The Three Tenors sing Jingle Bells. Soodle, it's a cryin' shame that video does not still exist.

so natural that you want to go to war-

that is the bestest band what am, Honey Lamb.

Odd lyric, but it did survive a few decades.

Whereas "Indian Love Call" seems rather dated.

5:01 pm

Oh, Molly... there are worse horrors inflicted on our ears...... (shuddering)

5:01 pm

da7 clue please?

Why do old love songs sound so corny, and all the jazz still is great?

5:02 pm

<Loves Indian Love Call..

da7- villain of Star Wars said by a drunk (first name,) + indefinite article

5:02 pm

da7...da*ts is a game you play in a pub + **hhh, be quiet+ **ts are picnic pests

5:03 pm

(Wearing bitter and twisted hat).. all love songs are corny!

When I'm calling You-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-oooo-oooo

5:03 pm

thanks :)

5:04 pm

Oh I agree, all love songs are corny. You are just too nuts and in love to realize that when you are swooning over them.

5:04 pm

Thank you Molls :-)

But the style of singing is so cool- when Giner Rogers rolls her eyes and does that thing with her shoulders...

Ruth Etting.

ahhhh.

I think it's dinner time. Bailing. see ya.

5:05 pm

All I can think of when I hear "Indian Love Call" is Lucy Ricardo.

5:05 pm

Adios Kap, ya mad yoke, ya!

5:06 pm

6:19 pm

6:20 pm

6:20 pm

6:21 pm

6:21 pm

it's 4 letters, chloe. goes around in a pyramid on the grid

6:21 pm

hast

6:22 pm

oh thanks just got it

6:22 pm

erdi

6:22 pm

6:23 pm

*Wonders if Amelu is speaking in tongues*

6:23 pm

6:23 pm

6:24 pm

i checked but erdi is not in puzzle

6:24 pm

any one got a seven letter word yet

6:24 pm

fe7/40=plural of one who is scared

6:25 pm

That fe 7/40 word is plural of that fe 6/27 word ChloeKat.

6:26 pm

i dont understand this at all

6:27 pm

which part are you not understanding, chloe?

6:27 pm

If you are afraid, you feel fe4. If you feel fe4 you are an fe6. Those who are afraid are fe7.

6:27 pm

The fe4/7 word is to be afraid of something. fe 6/27 word is one who is scared and an fe7/40 word is people who are afraid Chloekat. The fe6 and fe7 word extend fe 4/7 word

6:28 pm

i know it starts with fear just dont know the rest what is the first letter after the r

6:29 pm

fe 6/27 word is fe 4/7 word plus *mergency *oom and then plural the fe 6/27 word to get the fe 7/40 word ChloeKat.

6:29 pm

try not to use words from the grid in chat, chloe

6:30 pm

k idnk

6:30 pm

just give me the letter after the r plzzz

6:31 pm

clues work various ways, usually not by just spelling things out though. fe6 just adds 2 letters to the end of fe4, to make the word mean "one who is afraid"

6:31 pm

I basically spelled it out for U in my clue at 6:29 ChloeKat.

6:32 pm

If you look at min's clue from a minute ago, you just need to substitute letters for the astrixes.

6:33 pm

6:41 pm

6:41 pm

6:41 pm

6:42 pm

sq7 is more not circular

6:42 pm

I thought da7 was Hebrew.

6:42 pm

this is really hard to understand

6:43 pm

what is not a circle

6:43 pm

and make it more so

6:43 pm

dictionary.com says da7 is hebrew for a teacher in synagogue

6:44 pm

it's indian too

6:44 pm

You add two letters to a word to make it "more so". If something is hard you add two letters to hard to make it more hard.

6:44 pm

to give lessons or teaching

6:44 pm

lookit all the candles. did i miss a theme party?

6:44 pm

*passes on male anatomy joke for molly*

6:45 pm

she passed away jes

6:45 pm

ignore "will", he slipped in by mistake...

6:45 pm

6:45 pm

it's very sad

6:45 pm

See Haz's profile Jess. FM passed a few days ago.

6:47 pm

did we lose chloe?

6:47 pm

not sure if I helped her or not

6:47 pm

Maybe you should have made the male anatomy joke Ru. : P

6:47 pm

oh that sucks. and only a week after her pup too :(

6:48 pm

yeah.. a bad time for haz.. must be a saturn cycle

6:48 pm

6:49 pm

okay,

6:49 pm

ic

6:49 pm

6:50 pm

I didn't know that FM was Haz's aunt. I thought they were just friends.

6:50 pm

http://www.playbabble.com/profile_mini .php?id=7187

6:50 pm

I din't know them were related just friends

6:51 pm

they (didn't() ugh my typing sucks

6:51 pm

ya it does

6:51 pm

I had the fr4/7dom of finishing grid. Now here is a story for you to re 5/16 to if you need clues. I'm so aw 4/9 by those who are able to babble listless. I'd never da4/5 to attempt that feat. I fe 4/7 I would never finish the grid if I tried that. On ra 4/4 occasions, I can finish without clues from chog, but I always use a list. I am more tired th 4/5 I thought I was. I am starting to fa4/8. I'm going to qu4/7 cluing for now. I did not ed4/5 my story.There might be some mistakes. Now I'm going to get off my re 4/4 and get some Nilla Wa6/39 to snack on. Then I am going to go cr4/9l into bed wi 4/9 my dog and re 4/5 a book and then watch My Name is Ea 4/4. I will be back in Babbleland again tomorrow when I am wi4/9 awake.

6:51 pm

unless i'm misreading that, she says her aunt

6:51 pm

<---sounds like he's from Oakland

6:52 pm

i am board and cant find any more words

6:52 pm

Okay, that profile message is confusing. FM was not Haz's 80 year old aunt.

6:52 pm

FM was in her fifties.

6:52 pm

ok... so haz lost her aunt and her friend and her dog? damn. it just gets worse

6:52 pm

bored?

6:53 pm

i didn't think fm was that old, but...

6:53 pm

yes i am board

6:53 pm

so what happened to fm?

6:53 pm

feeling wooden?.. maybe lumbering around?

6:53 pm

From what Haz said in chat, it sounded like liver failure. She was on a list for a transplant, but did not get one.

6:54 pm

oh and this isnt the real cholecat its my aunts i am just playing for her cuz she said i could

6:54 pm

yes, molly, that is what is says in profile

6:54 pm

fm was in her 50s, if I remember correctly...maybe 53?

6:54 pm

thought so

6:54 pm

ah. that makes sense

6:54 pm

she was born in 59

6:54 pm

what

6:55 pm

about me

6:55 pm

crappy, depressing sense, but sense.

6:55 pm

oh .. I feel old now

6:55 pm

7:10 pm

I love Danny Kaye. What a classic he was.

7:10 pm

(btw that was fw)

7:11 pm

I mean, that's why not everyone has seen It's a Wonderful Life.

7:11 pm

I never was too crazy about Danny Kaye. Not sure why.

7:12 pm

I love James Stewart

7:12 pm

i was so touched when bill cosby had him as a doctor on his show and then gave him a tribute when he died

7:18 pm

that is why you need to reboot to clear your cookies

7:18 pm

or at least eat them

7:18 pm

Rebooting is not opening a new window. It's re-starting your computer. Lickety's list is current.

7:18 pm

(which always sounded vaguely scatological to me)

7:18 pm

Cosby is a genius. Kaye was so vaudville.

(((ruuster))) :)

8:24 pm

hi aussies

8:24 pm

* groan* ruru, lol

fireworks without too much fuss, I liked this grid! :))

how goes it ruuster?? have missed you

8:25 pm

it's pretty easy going mr p

8:26 pm

matter of fact looking at this new thing, injecting your own body fat into arthritic joints....hmmmm lose fat, gain mobility. interesting thought. but do you lose weight in the process...

8:26 pm

i'm doing well.. I'm kind of sleepy today though

8:26 pm

how are you guys doing mr p?

doubt it rose... you are only transferring it! LOL

8:27 pm

then you'd have to get a butt implant later granny?

8:27 pm

but if it gets used up, keeping the joints mobile.....and do you get to nominate where they take the fat from....

ok thanks ruru, maddie hasn't been well, so she is just gonna be very quiet before xmas and recover

i think so rose, for a price! :))

8:28 pm

oh.. has her fever come down?

8:29 pm

prayers for maddie

8:29 pm

what????? maddie not well....mrp, what's wrong with her?

8:31 pm

have to head out with mrs ru for dinner.. bbl.. hugs mr p and granny *waves to molly*

she got a virus, white cells went down (as they should) and she is taking forever to recover (migraines, nausea, dizziness)

8:31 pm

and Pam* >. Hi pam

have a great evening ruuster! give our luv to mrs ruru

8:31 pm

(((MRP))) and (((maddie)))

8:31 pm

*pooh*

8:32 pm

oh, poor kid......like you said, heaps of taking it quietly, at least until xmas.

ever since she got Ross River Fever... has been terrible for her... and that was over 3 years ago

8:32 pm

later, ruru, enjoy

((((dawg)))) !!!

8:33 pm

i suppose you've been down the antioxidant paths

we have tried so much stuff... she is now gonna start on reflux medication...

8:39 pm

geez, mrp the only luck you all have had is bad. gotta change that karma!

8:40 pm

* blink* omg, mrp, google fibromyalgia, look at the symptoms. maybe....

8:44 pm

i give up

no dice on the bad luck aspect dawg... just bad management in some ways

rose, she has no symptoms of any body aches and pains, just headaches, nausea and dizzy... docs don't know what to do with her!

8:47 pm

could it be an inner ear problem, mr p? has that been investigated thoroughly?

8:48 pm

whatcha need pickles?

bugs, they are going to have to fully investigate this child o' mine... she is going into year 9 and needs to be healthy and happy. We have looked at lot's of things, but finally found a paediatric doc that is keen to follow up and not put it down to 'psychological'. when a doc says that word to her, she gets up and walks out!

i have to take a break... i am getting square eyes!

9:00 pm

later, Mrp

Good evening to my fellow babblers!How is everyone doing

9:23 pm

Hello everyone

9:23 pm

By the way, congratulations to all the finishers! Way to go!

9:24 pm

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

9:24 pm

hello Min and gwen! welcome to the grid!

9:24 pm

Stid, I'm heading to the west coast for a week to meet my newest granddaughter in person.

9:25 pm

hi min and gwenski. how exciting, gwen!

9:25 pm

that's wonderful, gwen! congrats on the addition to your family!

9:26 pm

She'll be ~ two months old. I leave on Tuesday, and I'm getting excited

9:26 pm

are you going to be close to us? Seattle-Portland areas?

9:26 pm

Yep. Marysville

9:26 pm

woo-hoo!

9:27 pm

I ask, because right now it's cooler than normal, and drier than normal. So you'll want to have warm clothes and a rain jacket just in case the weather gets damp again.

9:27 pm

oh, it's pretty up near marysville!

9:27 pm

I haven't decided if I'm going to just bring layers or my winter coat.

9:28 pm

I suggest layers, actually -- that way you can regulate your temp easier.

9:29 pm

Sometimes when it's damp it feels colder than it really is.

9:30 pm

Windbreaker jacket, with a fleece or sweatshirt underneath is pretty comfortable.

9:30 pm

yes, that is a good combo. One of my favorites!

9:32 pm

down to 16 and still have four 7s to find. *sigh*

9:32 pm

30 left here
