still hoping, lyn, but maybe not in prime condition, says the physio
lol ru
hi ruru, lol
Can you delay the trip for a few months?
tickets are already bought, lyn -- don't think I can change the date
sometimes with a letter from physician they will change tickets
you can change them with a hardship jilli.. have a friend help you
not covered under travel insurance?
phantom malady
I'll chack. Just discovered I have relatives in Melbourne too -- have never met them though.

i think.
yep its ly5
thank you
got it
what cos said lol
two columns grey so far
ma 7 x 2
one column greyed out, one row greyed out.
still short 2 7s
al 6/21
Yes, Camberwell is a very very pleasant inner suburb - lots of elegant Victorian houses - would be quite expensive. Actor Geoffrey Rush lives there
a lot of first names in the grid
Interesting, lyn! Her grandmother was my aunt -- my dad's sister. All the other relatives are from my mother's side.
<--- Jillibus/roots .. the series
Jilli's 'tree' would be so interesting too
Lol, ruru!
ro6 7....
I think mainlawn should be a word
jilli's tree would be interesting.. but you'd have to go out on a limb to figure it out
groan
and sa7! 7's done phew
sorry jilli my bark is worse than the bite
out of steam -- time to head bedward. Tomorrow will be busy again -- visiting nurse in the am, bridge bunch here in the pm, bringing all the goodies.
goodnight Jilli, sounds like a fun day - enjoy!
night jilli.. have a good day.. and an easy one
Your big day is soon Ru?
yeah.. towards the end of the month
NOT looking forward to it however
How long are they saying the recovery will be? (don't be such a big sook!)
6 weeks to three months
Not so long - and you will be pain free! what a relief that will be
what all are they expecting to do ru?
welcome to the 6-week club, ruru
arthroscopic on my right knee for now and full knee replacement on my left one.. + the butt implants
butt implants?
lol.. just kidding dee
that's the new thing in LA
LOL... I was going to say, I'll be glad to donate
You won't need butt implants...sitting and laying around for 6-12 weeks will get some padding on your butt (& stomach)
It takes a lot of Booty to pay for it though
double groan
:D
el 7/36
lol
actually lyn..i've lost 28 pounds
wow that's a lot ru especially being more inactive
wow - under doctors orders?
yeah..I'm really pleased so far...
yeah sorta
he said it will help me a lot to get to 200lbs or less
It matters such a lot when you have ops (my brother just went that - plus a heap of other stuff - in the last few months),. In fact keeping your weight down becomes such an issue as you get older - it causes so many complications (sigh)
yeah.. there's gonna be less of me to love..
but think of all the hard muscle that will be there instead! well - after you can get active again
I sure hope so... I've never had surgery..
it's nothing! they keep you nicely drugged up so no pain and fuss over you when you really need it...the only dreary side is hospital food and no decent coffee (get someone to bring it in for you)
okay.. off to bed for me.. night you guys.. take care
nite ru sleep well
good idea lynxx.. I think I won't eat there
You too Ru - sleep tight etc
nice grid...BBL
Hi all sitting inthe car not driving of course...lol...playing on my phone...love technology

hello sprite my dear one!
*huggles*
good to see you remembered your towel - very, very important to have with you!
isn't it :D I wanted to put up Towel Day as theme, but that is uusue's birthday. So... today it is!
I LOVE Douglas Adams....
oh so do I! I live by many of his quotes, lol.
One of my favorites is: "I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be."
I actually sa4 "so long and thanks for all the fish" to a server at the grocery store once, after he had handed me my fish purchases. My roommate cracked up laughing, but the poor guy at the counter was LOST
"It's at times like this I wish I'd listened to what my mother told me." "Why? What did she tell you?" "I don't know - I never listened!"
that is a good quote indeed, sprite!
LOL dachef
lol Dachef, right so!
oh and this one, I use it on forums as signature: "In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move."
Or my fave: 'Time is an illusion. Lunchtime, doubly so.'
yesssss that is a brilliant one.
I remember laughing out loud when reading...."That About Wraps it up for God" It just was so irreverent
'Space is big. Really big. You might think its a long way down the road to the chemist's, but thats just peanuts to space.'
and another from the hitchhikers guide, when the guy is lying in front of a bulldozer to keep it from flattening his house, and the bulldozer guy says: "You cannot lie here forever." And the guy answers: "Not? Let's see who rusts first."
oh dear. laptop is about to die....
This is one of those cult things, like "Rocky Horror Picture Show", right?
hey there molly malone! can't sleep either, huh?
oh yes! The Babel fish... the thing so unlikely to have evolved just by incident that it proves God exists, and proof is the end of faith, and without faith God is nowhere... so God does not exist.
No (said in a disgusted voice) I actually have to work today.
I am working today as well, but not until 11
Oh yes, says God, I hadnt thought of that. And promptly vanishes in a puff of logic.
hi Molly! I guess so. I think it should be compulsory reading at schools.
It has long been a personal quest of mine to introduce Americans to the works of the late great DA.
I'm am American dachef, so well done you!
I read the Hitchhikers Guide when I was still in highschool and I have promoted DA ever since. He is so funny and yet so deep.
laptop is dying.....goodbye, cruel world!
Douglas Adams had more of an influence on my life than any teacher or politician.
*looks sad* Byebye dear Triffles.
I have had a few teacher that influenced me more. But Adams is high on the list for me too.
lovely to meet another addict, Dachef!
Yup, totally froopy. Nice to know someone who knows where their towel is.
we should drink to that. Pan-Galactic Gargle Blasters.
but.... NO poetry!
If there are any lurkers who have no clue what we're talking about - look up The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, and subsewuent sequels. I personally guarantee your life will be richer if you do.
and you'll be laughing a lot while reading... enriching your life and picking up great philosophy without having to study :)
btw, that is one book that has been brilliantly translated in Dutch. Really brilliantly. And that is something I don't say often.
gotta run - back to finish later.
bye Dachef! Don't run... no haste... time is an illusion...
darn... I want he who da**s to be a da**ator.
Well, it can be Sprite. Just put it on that endlessly long list of words Enable doesn't recognize.
yeah, I guess that is the only option. We are so much better in english than enable!
yesterday my favorite word was a phantom. Today, coital is too. But ADHD is in the grid. Life can be so odd.
I have been reading this fascinating book on the eternal and universal self in Hindu philosophy. It's called "At*** Forever".
hello graham! Sounds good.
Is that some kind of spin on "At5 Shrugged"?
not on Bat*** Forever for sure.
what was the Ki words from yesterday?
ta
I didn't think we had a K yesterday
must be off, hagd all
there was quite a few k's on thursday i seem to recall

I just randomly found a da8.

Hi Grant and Espirit
gm mom
lurks in the sand...
does anyone here watch once upon a time? hi jean
yes creepy
Hi Mom
big nippers
How do you spell RELIEF?
I do not, TO. I hear it is pretty good though
alka seltzer
ME ME! I watch Once upon a time!
rolaids
i watched most of the marathon. i am not sure
hi TO, I do not watch once upon a time but am hooked on American Horror Story and Revenge
it's going to be TV night tomorrow, Once at 8 and then Downton Abbey at 9!
Hi Shirlockc
hi all -- love both shows
I tried to make sense of "Grimm" the other night, pretty craxy stuff.
Maargaret Thatcher and Bush's secretary of state are in here- big day
i think once is better than grimm
*crazy
once it the same, rbud
I am trying to watch all of Downton Abbey this weekend- first season.
i was never into fantasy.
hurry, 2nd season starts sunday night!
Time to get busy. I am taking down the tree today. :-(
7 episodes. But there seem to be 2 versions- the one on Netflix is edited differently from the one on PBS online
anyone have the top d? is it dh?
I don't have to hurry that much- we can record it.
hmmm, i watched the one on netflix
yes, dh4
But I can do 7 episodes by Sunday night if I have to
... dh ... anagram of children's books writer ... ... who is in the grid too
i thought haing theholiday on sunday was disconcerting but it is good for taking down decorations
time to go
the 50+ degree temps here in chicago have been good for taking down decorations
The one on Netflix episode 4 started the same as PBS episode 3- but some scenes from 2 were mixed in- in was weird
hmmm, odd
'morning, babblers
someone asked about that bottom o a while back. It is a compoind.
compound, even.
ty, that was me. :)
simple compound.
ahhh... got it, thanks again! :)
had seen the first half, but wasn't thinking past that
gm, everyone, stats for the lone O on the bottom?
just clued. Simple compoind. oi6.
thank you
I keep trying to stick the "ic" ending on all sorts of things, not working all that well, but getting some interesting non-words, haha
hey dawg
hi welki! how ya feeling?
anyone have the stats for the lone N and D on the top row?
dh4, na5
pretty darned good, thanks - tired, and a little cough hanging on, but other than that, good to go :)

sort of like a pneumonia alarm?
hi, sea
ty, sea found it.
Hi welki and all
yw dawg
yeah, bronchitis or pneumonia. but some of the coughs just want to linger.
clue for the el7 please
well, i have a physical scheduled for monday. he'll probably have a listen to my lungs. ugh, i hate physicals.

Just starting myself mm!

Hi rbud!

back chog says there is an ma 8, still hunting for it, found nice ma6/7 in the meantime - another word for cassava
hi shirl!
ooooh! homemade waffles are here.....!
It's not just you shirl!
hi shirl. no, i don't think it's an easy grid.
thanks, rbud for the ma6/7
hello again friends!
hey trif!
Hi Trif!
extra battery, Trif? wb
I was here in hte wee small hours, but the laptop pooped out....found the plug, so I'm back!
good morning and the top left n please
Hi Crossy!
howdy car:)))
good golly..that waffle maker is the BEST present Matt every got! YUMMMMMMM!
gm, crossy.
morning crossy
mmmm waffles...
... a city in south africa ... has to do with place of birth
regarding babies
na 5/10 - having to do with a birth
hello all - crossy na*** is where I live KwaZulu Na***
WV! Hello!
do with newborns
And ursh! Hello!
good morning all
ahh ty ladies
must be off for a bit, bbl to finish. hi ursh and wv
ursh, can you believe, I never even noticed you lived in SA? Duh me!
morning teach!
oooh, dayum, I can hear the mice running in the attic again. Wish Mrs. Frisby and the kids would pack it in already
i have 41 left and stuck stuck stuck
you have 50 more than i do, this is a tough grid!
trif- throw them a D-con dinner party
How do YOU spell relief?
heck, I can hear kids upstairs, not sure they ever went to bed last night, sigh... not my kids, though, so HA!
ahhh, speedy - "relief is just a swallow away!"
I like the old fashioned traps, myself, magazinemom
hi all pepto bismo all around!
I can't bring myself to empty them
well, that ma 8 was easy, a lovely combo word.
howdy jmc
if there was EVER a slogan that would not fly in this day and age, it's that one!
Hi jmc!
i use d-com because they usually go outside to die and then i don't have to deal!
what one?
the kids are asleep, but the puppies have awakened and need out.
*snort* trif. lol
I did consider d-con, but I feared that with the cold weather they would prefer to stay inside to die, and then I will have that REAK of an odor to deal with
I'm afraid our two lazy cats might decide to catch one if I used poison, and off themselves
might slow the mice down enough for them to actually catch, haha
no they have to go outside -- it makes them thirsty and they need water--rodents cant throw up so it kills them rather than any other animals
peanut butter as bait
hi trif, crossy, jmc, everyone i missed
the cats would have to eat tons and then they would throw up mostly
but wont they just head for the bathrooms here?
hey welki
i've known a rat or two that can puke.
apparently not
big rats, jmc. really big rats.
we aren't talking about 2 legged rats welki ;)
had a mouse die in the pan under my fridge a few months back, ewwww, the stink! finally located it under the compressor fan
there ya go :)
hmmm. I still worry. the attic is a whole three stories away from the ground. If one buys it in the walls, it will make for a looooong smelly winter
any way i used dcon on the caffeinated mice a couple of weeks ago and they are gone gone gone
fan was blowing it out into the kitchen nicely, I must say
caffeinated mice? were they eating your coffee?
no the smell only lasts for about a month at the outside
GROSS rbud!
after that they get so dry they don't smell
yes, it was... :P
had one die in my office walls once
"Only a MONTH???"
elys
oops
cute lil' baby one was lost in my bathroom the other day, couldn't find wherever he came in at, tried to hide in some really silly spots
sorry at least it wasn't a word
replace the y and you are all good, jmc
under the paper under the cat box, tail sticking out plainly, I had to laugh
once watch my bothers cat play cat and mouse in my great aunts farm house. it was facinating
you really understood the term watching it
ty trif i should remember that word we had it the other day
we are an erudity bunch, right? so -- is anyone else excited about the return of Downton Abbey on Sunday? I am!!!!
jmc, the bit you typed into chat is the first of the el7
ty rbud
Yay Downton Abbey! Thanks for the reminder Trif!
the happy fields
uh no?
ty ty rbud
magmom -- if you could only pick ONE - which would you choose to be? house resident, or house staff?
when we lived on the farm,it was a endless battle with mice..we were surrounded by grain fields,so we just live trapped and worked daily of closing off all entrances and all food was in plasic or glass containers
we would catch 5-20 mice a night
what would you do with them once trapped?
our declawed cat is the best mouser of our two, don't know how he does it.
just take them out and release them,there is a never ending mouse population so we were on the defense and not the offense
we had a mommy mouse in the house one winter and my hubby would catch them--he only told me the next year how many he caught because the mommy kept producing prodigious supplies of babies
make the house tight,make sure no inside food was availabe
cat doesn't need claws to catch a mouse
there seems to be a pretty large divide between what I consider food and what a mouse does....
Dante is the BEST mouser ever...although he prefers the chipmunks and flying squirrels....
Trif- I have to go with resident. I'm more cut out to be a dilletante
sure doesn't from what I can see, he's proudly lounging by a dead one at least once or twice a week..
if you buy cerail or oatmeal or pasta,it immediatly was removed fro the package and placed in glass or plastic containers
see. I would go house staff, every time. they get to marry for love, for one thing
house staff has more fun behind the scenes, seems to me
I'm beginning to think love is overrated. lol
Gots to love Babble...how many conversations can we have going at once?!?!?!
once you saw how much work you had to do in real life you wouldn't
I agree rbud
its like a never ending family dinner, car!
the other day it was sex and soup
lol car,we can start talking bout breakfast now as well:))
not to mention the hours--up before the upstairs and not to bed until they are in bed
I already did Crossy...my waffles!
think I was watching Upstairs Downstairs recently, a new episode? Quite enjoyed it.
(ahem) two for breakfast today!
true jmc! I like my sleep
mmm..waffles...
it's downton abbey, not upstairs downstairs
2nd season this sunday!
hi shirl
yes, but Masterpiece Theatre had it on
sorry, that was supposed to say == I made bagels yesterday, and had two this morning....
They even had the strawberries and a touch of whip cream on them!
stats for the N on the top row please
na 5. think babies
... na5/10
yes, rbud, downton abbey is on masterpiece theatre

Yes, rbud, you would enjoy Downton Abbey. You might be able to catch up with last season's episodes on the PBS website
was it an American Masters show? love that, always interesting.

lydia? i just tried that
alison

kazzer guessed it
oh good, i was hoping it wasn't walt
lol
does anyone else have a mac? Mine os doing weird stuff - like shuffle about a bit
i have a mac
i don't know what to tell you about that though
almost like its started to swipe to the next pane but not quite made it and then you have to wait till it jiggles back before you can do anything
I have a mac, only thing weird about it is that it was gotten about six times faster.
right over half way so shall go and look at stew for a bit before peeling a bucket of apples
Hmm. Sounds good!
i can't wait to be well enough to enjoy doing stuff again!
hurshy you are ill? :(
i'm recovering from having my tonsils out
Oh, sorry
oh yuck. i had that done when i was 12, and it was rough then.
I haven't had my tonsils out
I'm one of the few of my generation who never had them out
i'm withdrawing from a medication too at the same time which is hard
are you able to eat anything yet?
oh yeah i had them out dec 27
oh ok. yes that would be a problem if not
Hi kids. Feeling better, Hursh?
hey scrabbler
scrabs' doctor sense was tingling
like the spidey sense, except more practical
mostly sc but i'm really dizzy. stopped the hydrocodone yesterday morning, is it possible i'm having withdrawal after such a short time on it?
hmm. lol
i'm not sure if it's the clonazepam wd because i had stopped being dizzy for a while there.
It could be. Are you staying hydrated? Any other changes in meds?
am trying to stay hydrated yes
ice cream therapy
Sleeping better?
yes! i think i possibly could have slept through the night last night if something hadn't gone wrong with my lamp timer.
May i have the y in the bottom right corner?
yo 4/7
hither and y**, pl
so how long does hydrocodone take to clear out of your system?
Could be withdrawal from hydro.
Ok, i am done for now. This is a bad grid.BBL
bye mark
a very bad grid
Halflife = 3.8 hrs (No, I didn't know that; I looked it up.) and it takes about 4-5 halflives to be gone. As you were on med for 10 days or so your body may need time to adjust.
also i read on wiki this morning that benzodiazapenes shouldn't be taken with hydrocodone so i guess it's good i stopped?!
they had the clon on my list of meds, why didn't they say anything?
Both cause respiratory and neuro depression.
Lack of conscientiousness.
that's a funny side effect.
Haha, that was what the MD/pharmacist lacked.
ah, i was about to say, not so funny for your family and friends, hursh
ohhhh :)
well given that the nurse in the recovery room offered me a muffin when the doctor had told me liquid diet for 48 hours i guess i'm not surprised.
i thought tonsillectomies were pretty routine, shouldn't the nurses KNOW you can't have a muffin?
can anyone clue the on6/24 :o)
ooh that must be my last o
It is the last one hurshy lol
tasting like an on5
Duh (slaps forhead) .... thanks hurshy
I was on the phone with my father. Hurshy, with kids and getting tonsils out, some kids eat mac + cheese within hrs, others are miserable and hardly eat for a week.
thank YOU for pointing it out
and they dont' see adults as often

Hi Peri

as many babblers are now wishing to join the babble folding at home group,i will remind everyone that all the team info and the setting up directions are still listed in my profile
Hi Bacon Boy
howdy scwabby
I am wearing perfume oil called Egyptian Goddess. I am egyptian but I am a goddess :) it smells really good and last a long time
hi crossy
I am getting my hockey skates out and going skating soon.
I am NOT egyptian.
howdy peri
how about a clue for any 8 then pls
Name that antacid brand.
rolaids
peri - start with a da6 that is the biological version of atomic weight.
*ding*ding* Peri wins.
sure, rasta if I knew what that was
what do I win, Scrabbs?
di 8 - type of musical scale
on a side note,the folding team at our sister site foldit.com recently made a breakthrough in the fight against AIDS! took them 3 weeks of folding!!!! yaa to the foldit team!!
My admiration, Peri.
oh, ok, thanks scrabbs
da 8 - boys name + ending of drink in grid
it sounds like a proper name, as so many of these units are
da6 = boy's name, then change into an adj
da + letter + gin and to5
ty scrabbs
that is not a common boy's name in my book. but I found it ty
nobody said it was common
well, I think the unit was taken from a *last* name
At 65/136 I must get ready for ice skating. This is a tough grid which I didn't expect from a large grid.
it is a lovely day here, going up to mid-high 50's
too warm here...5c and the hills and trails are suffering,sloppy mess
shalom y'all
hey scrab, antacid itself is a phantom in the grid
<---thinks antlas should be a word.. a word map for insects

we lived in Kimberley BC for 3 years, ski country so lots of snow, our 2 sons were born in the little hospital there

Can't say I've ever heard of that word for rabbit. But then, I'm not fluent in Middle English words from the 1500's. : )
I hink it was spelt coney - my mother still refers to soem fur coats by that name
maybe a chili dog would have been a good clue, but it's not spelled the same, either, lol
i'd never have got the chili dog clue - youre' speaking american again LOL
Oh good rbud..._____ Island dog, variant spelling would have been a great clue.
clue the di8. i dont get the musical reference
same ending as the da 8
di + vowel + (gin and) to5 (drink)
di+ vowel + to5 what you have in gin
di + vowel + something that goes with gin
we is good, lol! ;p

I can see why a lot of people would not get that word with the definition as a clue.

ty
Can I get a clue for the last sa6? Thanks.
dont have it
me neither
i have the one in the navy

TY wvteach!!!
Good clue Teach

Tx Glan
ro 6, please?
ro 6/18 - add consonant to smelly vegetable
r + weepy vegetable
ty molly
note to self: learn the hebrew alphabet
and all variant spellings of the letters
? marpocky
seems like every day there's a new one in the grid
does anyone have the to8?
Here in the UK most of us know nothing about the hebrew alphabet
to 8 - adj. form of type of severe weather
to8 rather like the destructive wind but with an ic end
US also
ty
ty teach
ah, I thought there was a big Jewish sub culture in US which might make it more comprehensible
there is, but it has almost no effect on the rest of us, at least regarding our knowledge of the alphabet and how it applies to online word games LOL
There may be more Jewish people in the US than in the UK, but that doesn't mean that most of us are familiar with the Hebrew alphabet. I only know some of it due to word games.
the only reason i know the whole greek alphabet is from math
Good afternoon, fellow word slingers. Yiddish words are just plain fun to say.
sorry glan, mathS ;)
yiddish words may be fun but I don;t know any LOL
ty for the english version of maths marpocky
in 7/32 plz
Sure ya do. Schmuck! Putz! Oy vey!
Referring to a tooth, Ivesy
shlep
Mensch!
Judi, I have heard of oy vey but the others aren't used in the UK - that's what I meant about the Jewish suvb culkture in US impacting on your understanding
as I'm getting educated, what do scmuck, putz, sclep and mensch mean?
Why so rude, Judi? ("schmuck, putz...")
bubbe chutzpah shalom kibbitz klutz mazel tov
ty molly
aha - i know shalom is a greeting - so that's two yiddish things i know LOL
ty molly i would never have seen that
to 8, please?
mazel tov - congratulations
Well, the fun words I just used are more slangy. Mensch means "good fellow" or "good natured" I believe. Klutz is uncoordinated or clumsy. Schlep is to slog or travel unwillingly.
ty teach
Shallom = hello.
I guess it depends on where in the UK you live. I know several people who live there who are familiar with all the words mentioned.
kibbitz - to help from the side like in giving clues in babble
ty judi
*Hopes Glant is taking notes *
and teach - I like kibbitz
i just like the sound of it
i am working out how i can drop these into conversation and confound my colleagues
and to have people who wil kibbitz here in chog
Schmuck and putz are not flattering. Kind of like "asshole" and "idiot", respectively.
kibbitz is either to chat or to look over a bridge player's shoulder & tell her/him what to bid
finally a term I recognize,, yeah,, we use kibbitz in bridge
My favorite: verklempt!
oh i definitely need to use schmuck and ptz LOL
verklempt????
judi, s & p are both slang for "the male organ"
to 8, please?
sounds bossy
lol! We all need those frequently!
to8 - adj form of high destructive wond
to8 refers to a bad weather storm
wind, even
Ah - hence our American slang, turqaz. I didn't know about the male organ meanings. *blush blush*
maybe i won;t use schmuck and putz then :-)
yente - female gossip or busybody
ty -- silly word
Klutz is just about universal for clumsy.
oh, i know a few yentes
Verklempt (and various similar spellings) can be either not feeling well or agitated.
verklempt = all choked up with emotion
*!* ta da *!* - thanks for the help :)
I've always thought of verklempt as overcome with emotion.
woo hoo cybernan
Unless of course it really means some type of female genitalia. *waits for truth to drop like bomb*
RPFLMAO Judi
oooh, I just found the other vegetable in the grid
*covers eyes* Oy vey.
anyone wa 4 clues before I leave?
just checking tho chog.. love the conversation on ther yiddish words... interesting this , i know every one of them. i live in cleveland heights, ohio and never most of them when i lived on the west side of cleveland.. however i soon became friends with several jewish women in my neighborhood .. a most rewarding time. that was 40 years ago and still ongoing
relax judi it aint gonna happen
I have the was
hi all, I am home but really sick, lots of photos on facebook
sorry to hear that sue
did you catch something on the plane, sue?
Hubby and I are getting ready to go out and play in the unseasonably warm weather. Of to tromp through the woods. See you kids tomorrow! *POOF*
*off* rather.
no, I had been fighting off a cold for a good two weeks before we left, and on the way home it finally caught up with me
had a great time, though!!!
sorry to hear that and wish you a speedy recovery
doesn't look like any of you need help, so I will be on my way...
I feel a little better today than I did yesterday - the trip back was a real marathon
as a wasp born and raised in maine , imagine the culture shock. i was raised episcopal ( great grampa was a bishop in the church) our family has expanded so... number one daughter married an african american, number 2 daughter , a catholic, and .. so we have quite a mixture and celebrate4 all the ethnic holidaysnumber three a jew
number three daughter married a jewish man
flight left at 6 am, and due to people's schedules we wound up getting to the airport around 10:30 pm the night before (security requires a minimum of 3 hours), then two long plane flights and I was pretty dead by the time we got home
no7?
so now I am going back to bed, may babble a bit from my phone later - good to see you all!!
nm - found it
SMom, I find that only people who live very sheltered lives are unfamiliar with generically common ethnic words. Especially ones that are common in books and media.
28 left, bbl to finish - happy babbling
For instance, the movie "Fiddler On The Roof" came out in 1971 and contains many of the Yiddish phrases mentioned here.
true molly, but i had led a sheltered life until i was 18..lol and was amazed at the idioms i found in the american language when i moved westward and met people from all over this country and other countries
Most of what I know about cultures and things that are not of my lived experience is from books and movies. I always assume that people who play this game are avid readers (most word lovers are) so it always surprises me when people claim to be unfamiliar with a whole block of what I consider common ethnic terms. Just my take on it.
welcome home sue, sorry you're not well
this grid is making me ferklempt
phantom talisman
that would make a good book i think
"The Phantom Talisman"
in what universe is Rolaids not a word <ggg>
proper noun universe
Oh, the ever fickle Enable recognizes some proper nouns.
like what
usually they have an alternate meaning
Yes, some alternate meaning from the year 1500.
i don't think they had Rolaids in the 1500s
You have a point.
what did they take for heartburn?
Rolleth Aidseth
haha
to8?
Perfect example of a proper noun accepted...al4. As well as many other "names" that also mean something obscure from some long ago century.
no 4/6 plz one rite after the no 7
a prying person
ohhh... geez lousie lol.. ty

Wow. Quiet chog for a Saturday. I just overdosed on Downton Abbey... I watched 3 episodes in a row, and am now bemoaning my lack of ladies maids/butlers..
*Buttles a glass of champagne to Madame Soodle*
Why thank you, my good Molls.
Have you seen Downton Abbey? Has it reached the US yet?
I was just pondering how many ridiculous, words that will never make it to conversation are in this grid. Which is why I seldom bother to finish anymore. No, I have not seen Downtown Abbey.
Downton Abbey is good. I just saw pics posted to FB of some friends who died in junior high and now I can't stop crying :(
Aw (((Mag)))
We've had season 1 of Downton Abbey and tmrw starts season 2
Thanks Molly! Can't believe they've been gone almost 30 years.
Molly... its a masterpiece. I have the box-set. I am half way through it, and I will happily post it on to you when I am done. Its Brit TV at its ablsolute best.
Awn Magazine.... You OK?
I wish I had a lady's maid. Oh wait, I have kids!!!
Yes Soodle, thanks! We have a group for people from
our high school have passed away
LOL Magazine. And if you need an organ transplant.... Hey! You got kids!!!!
Our mascot was the Eagle. It's called Eagles to Angels. Should never have looked at it while I was already a little down :-)
Amen to that! It would be my luck I'd need a kidney and my kids would have those kidneys that are attached to each other. :-)
Oh wonder of wonders, Downtown Abbey Season 1 and 2 are free on my Amazon Prime. Thanks for the heads up.
Molly!! If your DVD player is compatible with DVDS from this part of the world, just let me know, and I will send on the Downton Abbey box set toot sweet!
Think you will enjoy it Molly!
Even better Molls. Assign 3 -4 hours to Molly time,, fire up the popcorn maker, and sit back, relax and enjoy.
I will get back to you on this. Don't throw things at me, but I am not much on Brit TV. *Dodges flying things*

Hi JenMO16! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid
As I sat here in my seat id4/7 waiting for babblers to ask for clues, I wrote a story of clues. So here it is. I fell ma5/18 in love w/husband several years ago. Our relationship was so el 7/36 at the beginning. He told me I was the prettiest la4/7 he had ever been with.I told husband that I loved the fact that he was a neat person and not a slob and we'd never ever need a ma 4/6. Then we got married. He he4/6 my hands and sa 4/5 that he would love me forever.We went sa4/4ing on a cruise ship for our honeymoon. However,sa5/16 the bliss and happiness ha4/5ed a couple years after we got married. It is sort of ir6/21 that wh4/9 made me fall in love w/him is the ma 4/5 reason why I don't love my husband anymore. I hate to say it,but I have had ma5/14 mood swings since our problems started. I've also become an alcoholic and I drink gin&to 6/21 every single day. I am to 4/4 over leaving him. I wish I could just wave a magic wa4/9 & then things would go back to how they used to be when we were happy Da4/6! Hubby is stomping around the house being no 5/14 which means he wa 4/8s laptop. We have to ro 4/4 te turns on the computer.I'm going to go change my ic4/5 for tomorrow.Then I'm going to get into my co4/7 bed and watch the film The So 6/21 Network. I hope you have obta4/4ed some more words with this story of clues.Goodnight babblers.I will see you later.

Min: MRP prefers not to have that in anyones profile. she wants people to request it from her direct
Proprietary, aren't we??
I don't have a link there, Min. Look again.
Erda, if you want BabbleExert email mrpresident at mrpresident1968@yahoo.com.au

I did look again which is how I got the e-mail address.
Working out technical difficulties cos... other than that we're rolling now. See update.
Oh sorry, yeah.
I do have Expert, but I have a feeling it needs updating
I think others have had issues with BabbleExpert too.

Hi stidmama! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid
Oh that's very unprofessional, Molly, you did the right thing.
good for you Molly!

I have allergies so that story makes me feel sick, ugh!

Those puppies were da4 cute though!
oh monkey, I was at the MLA convention in Seattle - I am half sad that I didn't just go as a full participant the whole time... but to be honest if I had I wouldn't have had the great three days of work this past week! It was so re-invigorating as a teacher, and as a student. AND I met two wonderful authors -- bought book from one and will order the books from the other as soon as he tells me where I can get them in the states (he's from Scotland). and Mother was there, and we met my dear, "separated at birth but never met in person - twin" who I have known online for over twelve years.

if i walk into a pet store, i would be out in a hurry, CATS!
Hi Book Doctor Gwen! How are you? Welcome to grid.
and had supper at the Seattle Loving Hut (vegan) restaurant again. AND it wasn't raining a whole lot.
WOW that is awesome, Stid!
AND now I can babble!!!
yep. I am pretty happy.
I'm interested to hear what you had at the vegan place, stid
and the author whose books I want to get is John Aberdein, from Orkney. He wrote Amande's Bed and Strip the Willow, both of which looked really good but there weren't any extra copies at the booth.
Wow! You have a twin sister that you just met? Cool!
I had a broccoli dish and a lovely cabbage salad, monkey.
YUM that sounds delish
I have several twin sisters from different mothers.
LOL Molly
that's "twin" in quotes Min -- she is actually ten years older than I am from a completely different background, but seeing her was like we had never been apart!
http://www.tomfolio.com/shop/BarterBoo ks/
Stid, I'm not sure, but you might be able to order those via this bookstore: http://www.tomfolio.com/shop/BarterBoo ks/
Gwen! you're amazing! Will check there now. brb
I stole that from Dan Fogelberg, Monkey. He had an album called "Twin Sons Of Different Mothers".
Oh stupid me!Well,glad you had a great day stidmama
bummer. nope. That's okay.
Min, you are not stupid. : )
Hmmmm Dan Fogelberg.... I believe I saw him in concert during those foggy years 74-78
no, no stupid, min -- I was not really clear.
and Mother had pho, and Maria (my friend) had a curry, and her other friend had a different dish that looked interesting, but not sure what it was called.
stid, i checked the title and no, not listed, but they only list used books (some bookstores handle both new nd used, but only list used) which is why you might be able to order it through them. However, I can't swear that they handle new books also. hope that makes sense
hey littlebit, i have been carrying a strange virus, it is called cytomegalovirus!
stidmama,you can join lil*monkey in the PB for wh4/9 you just posted at 9:24.
I understand, Gwen -- I would rather buy new, so he gets the money. He used to teach school, too -- so we had a lot in common.
what is that?
it is a virus that cause extreme fatigue
thanks min
littlebit, you can join lil*monkey & stidmama in the PB
last Sat. i slept until 3PM!

*Puts pie and ice cream in the PB for all the people Min is herding there*

wow Jen -- you were one sleepy gal!

Always chocolate.

you can have my virus, molly
I was up at 6 today, tired now, but had such a good time.

who's etter and why are you doing him? (runs and hides)
el7,36
Often sleep late on the weekends to catch up on lack of sleep during the week. I can never go to bed early.
OH! and I got a 100th anniversary copy of the annotated Peter Pan (hardcover) for $20 at the exhibition hall! I just couldn't resist...
Oh no thanks Jen. I have no desire to have a virus or to sleep until noon.
of course i didn't sleep through till 3, had to get up and go to the bathroom you know!
TY monkey, hunting

anyone know the sc 5?
offshoot branch from the trunk, or offspring like a graft, yad
sc + positive charged particle
It's the name of a car, Yad, i think it's made by Toyota?
Oh Stid, that's a much better clue :)
Stid, technically that is wrong. A cation is a positively charged particle
Ive never heard of it, just was a lucky guess... Thanks for the sc stid
LOL almost typed it in chat, monkey, that would have been even better!
thanks Mark -- knew I was getting the physics piece not quite right
Eagle makes a car with a very similar name
and anion is negatively charged?
Yw, I have been studying physics lately. You are correct.
well, i am giving up with 70 left, everyone have a good night!
I am up to 90 words now, not quite my usual goal, but finding that my eyes are more tired than normal.
