2:17 am

you miss all the weather the other day volley?

please can you clue the 9

all south of us and south of Indy... sooooo glad!! I hate those storms.

2:18 am

good morning

2:18 am

still no news about poor Max!

2:18 am

now you know why i was checking your forecast that night'

fr 9/108 I take a rheumatoid med 1 time a week... that is the fr 9 of how often I take the medication...

yes, I do...

thanks volley

or different radio fr 9ies

I will be sooooooo glad to have a basement

yw jv

2:19 am

new house does..and the one now doesn't?

Correct. Oh, inspection showed 3 things....

2:20 am

do tell!

- needs a new garbage disposal; one radon mitigation pipe needs to be extended (although radon test came out good); a connector at the fuse box needs replaced

2:21 am

well, that's not bad at all!

2:21 am

will they fix it...or do you have to?

otherwise got an "a-okay"... that's what we thought... not sure yet, waiting for reply from realtor of what she suggests; hubby is willing to take care of them ourselves, since our offer was reduced

I want them to leave 3 barstools :), but we'll do whatever she suggests

2:25 am

we asked to keep the refrig..and 4 barstools and 2 kitchen stools...they agreed

we are already getting all of the kitchen appliances, washer, dryer, refrigerator in basement and all window treatments.... actually wouldn't mind having 3 barstools upstairs and 4 in the basement LOL

Actually, I just want to get the show on the road and move LOL

2:29 am

if they don't have a spot for those...you never know...you might get them

2:30 am

or if they don't want too give them away...you might ask how much they wouldsell them for

That would make me thrilled - the female owner has exquisite taste... I'd take anything they leave behind :)

2:31 am

they might not go with the decor in their new place

Wouldn't that be fantastic???? LOL...here's hoping.

2:31 am

yep

I still cannot believe that all of the colors in the house match our bedding, towels, furniture... it's pretty weird

2:32 am

that's great...will save you some money

Definitely will save a ton... no painting, no floor changes ... just move in... hubby may have baulked (sp?) at price otherwise, so feel very fortunate about that.

Going to get to see Fiddler on the Roof onstage for the first time next week.... we have always wanted to but it has never been close before.

2:34 am

seen that one twice...once as a kid..and the second with my wife and her parents when they came to MN

2:35 am

good show

not sure why it's never been in Indy or Chicago before now... the music alone is spectacular

2:37 am

they had (maybe still have) a nice dinner theater in west suburbs of MPLS. Always had 2-3 shows running and rotated the big one through every few years...you could either have dinner and show...or just do the show.

2:37 am

ones

2:38 am

oklahoma,state fair.phantomof the opera, fiddler on the roof..etc

I love those kind of events... nothing better than dinner and a musical. I think it was PBS ... had an Andrew Lloyd Webber special today, so hubby had TV cranked up most of the day. I'll be hearing the songs in my head for days. Phantom in my top 5 favorites.

I didn't care for the movies particularly, but on stage amazing!

2:39 am

we would go maybe once a year for a special occasion.....i agree the live stage shows are great

We have seen that in Chicago twice, London, Indy several times... takes stupendous voices in Phant because of the ranges.

Great fun.

I also like Les Mis and lion King

Well, I need to check emails and finish some notes for tomorrow night. Thanks again for the help. Til the flip.

2:41 am

this theater had it's own people, for the most part. Very talented and you would see them do many parts over the years...one of the leading men and leading ladies got married...and they performed(i think) the longest running show of I Do, I do

How sweet! I have never seen that one before; bet it was great.

2:42 am

yep...dentist in about 7 hrs for me...will pooof too

ta ta gl at dentist *poof*

2:43 am

cya later...poooof

4:21 am

4:23 am

have you worked on the grid

4:23 am

I have 59 left do you need help?

4:24 am

morning westford. yes, I need clues for the re 8 and te 8 pleae

4:26 am

re 7/8 fancy name for a saint's keepsake..uses the high point tile

4:27 am

te 7/8 prefix meaning distance and walked fast

4:28 am

got the te, thanks, working on the re 8 now

4:29 am

that's good

4:29 am

sounds like a French ending

4:30 am

hello

4:30 am

no news on Max

4:30 am

hi ruby I read about him I'm so sorry

4:31 am

I saw an interview with Temple the other night and thought of you both

4:32 am

temple is my hero! And without her, Max would never have come as far as he did

4:32 am

she's an amazing woman

4:32 am

I've been on the phone all morning, talking to all the people I tried to call on Saturday (police, etc) and have put up osters everywhere

4:33 am

We are just so terribly broken up; both of us just sit around crying.

4:33 am

how is your Ruby taking it?

4:33 am

I've already tried to contact a "chow person" in Italy, to try and get another puppy as we are all, Ruby included, in a wretched state

4:34 am

is there any chance he was stolen?

4:34 am

and a little male fluffy puppy would certainly help this family

4:35 am

very true but I feel he'll be back

4:35 am

it is unlikely he was stolen as he is so big an scary-looking and shy, besides, that it is unlikely anybody could get him into a car

4:35 am

what is most likeley is that he got hit by a car when he escaped, black as night as he is, and limped off into the shrubbery someplace to die.

4:35 am

We have looked along all the local roads

4:36 am

it is so strange that he would take off

4:36 am

my por husband just sits and cries

4:36 am

he had never been off the property before, in all of his 8 yrs

4:36 am

you both must be heartbroken

4:37 am

are there any outbuildings on your property that he might have been locked in by accident?

4:37 am

there are posters every place and everybody in this village and the two neighboring ones who've been alerted

4:38 am

I'm sure you must have looked and looked

4:38 am

we've checked everything and I go outside at midnight, when it's very quiet, and call him and listen, in case he's hunkered down in somebody's garage or barn

4:38 am

this is a nightmare

4:38 am

I know

4:39 am

and he could hear me and I could hear the slightest whimper

4:39 am

but it's two days now and I think that, short of a miracle (thanks to everyone's prayers), that it is very unlikely that he'll be found

4:40 am

he will surprise you

4:41 am

not just us, but evrybody has looked, even our neighbor, who has Parkinson's, went out with his two canes looking for Max

4:41 am

his animal instincts will kick in and he'll find his way home

4:41 am

Oh Ruby, I saw that Max had disappeared. I feel for you

4:41 am

Hi West

4:41 am

I hope you're right, west

4:41 am

{{lynxx}}

4:41 am

they are like our children, aren't they?

4:41 am

we're wrecked

4:42 am

especially since we're old and our children are grown. He is like the offspring of this lat marriage.

4:42 am

late*

4:42 am

...and Ruby has been ill?

4:43 am

Thank God, she got over it!

4:44 am

And I have hand-fed Max for years and we have developed a very close, almost physical bond, like with a small baby

4:44 am

but he weighs about 75 lbs and is scary-looking

4:44 am

that's why it's so strange that he wandered off

4:44 am

I will never change my avatar because that is the pic on the posters

4:45 am

we are puzzled

4:45 am

how old was Max?

4:45 am

8

4:45 am

and he's been on Prozac (per Temple Grandin) since he was 6 months old

4:46 am

so it's not as though he was coming to the end and decided to take himself off as some dogs do

4:46 am

I agree, Lynxx

4:47 am

yes, we had Cleo do that, but at two. She evidently had a heart anomaly and died under the hedge.

4:47 am

DON'T BUT A BLACK CHOW CHOW!

4:48 am

buy*

4:48 am

they are very beautiful, but I think that breeding for black is a big mistake

4:49 am

who knew?

4:49 am

Perhaps Ruby being sick threw him off his normal routine as he got disorientated somehow..it is still early days - if anyone has found him I am sure they would soon start looking for his rightful owners

4:49 am

I can start making calls again after 2PM our time. They don't work long hour at the SPA

4:50 am

has it been cold..would he have taken shelter inside?

4:53 am

I just talked to the gendarmerie again, and "our guy" is on holiday!

4:54 am

less cold than before

4:54 am

the one who helped when Burt was bitten?

4:55 am

yes, and who has come by, from time to time, to check on Burt

4:55 am

everybody is so nicehere

4:55 am

they must all know how much he means to you and Burt

4:56 am

I have to go and make Burt lunch; he is just sitting in a chair, crying

4:56 am

tell him not to give up and don't you either

4:57 am

I am ordering a new puppy as soson as I can.....

4:57 am

4:57 am

6:35 am

Good luck today, Mom...I am sure you will hear good news.

6:35 am

*going to the kitchen*

6:35 am

wow. watching the news, and they are featuring the story of the teacher who left his family to take off with one of his students. yikes

6:35 am

((Annie)) bye bye

6:35 am

and thank you

6:36 am

must be a slow news day, trif :-P

6:36 am

well, it is pretty salacious

6:36 am

sp ?

6:36 am

No news on Max, Mom.

6:36 am

ew - he has a daughter who is a year younger than his new girlfriend, and they went to the same school. gross

6:36 am

:-( I was so hoping he had returned

6:37 am

Trif, high school or college?

6:37 am

Ruby was on this morning and they are still very upset.

6:37 am

high school

6:37 am

I hope she is over 18 (16 here)

6:38 am

just turned. hoping to graduate with the rest of her class this year.

6:39 am

looks like SOMEONE had a big ol midlife crisis

6:39 am

there was something like that several years back with a female teacher and one of her students. She went to jail. When she got out of jail he was over 18. They married and now have a family

6:39 am

sick

6:40 am

mind you, when I was teaching high school, there were some MIGHTY good looking, hunka hunka burning love young men wandering the halls. But let the silly thought become the deed? uh...no.

6:41 am

when I was in school there wasn't a male teacher that I would even consider wanting to be with

6:41 am

some ugly dudes around here

6:41 am

we had a couple of young uns, and one sub that all us girls use to drooool over.

6:42 am

on another note - any chance of a nudge for the lower o in the first column, or the i in the top row?

6:42 am

and in high school our teachers were nuns

6:42 am

LOL mom! that would cut down on teacher/student crushes I would imagine....

it is oo6/18 trif

6:43 am

let's see if we can figure it out ... I don't have it

6:44 am

my first two words today were the an4 and the or4 - pleasant.

6:44 am

got it! thanks!

6:44 am

need to find the i now, for nbt

that i cant help you with as i dont have it either

6:45 am

7:10 am

speaking to local SPA

7:10 am

hi ruby, good luck!!! I am worrying about you and max...

hope they have some good news for you ruby

7:10 am

ruby!! I heard the sad news about ruby. Give me an updat, please. Your heart must be broken

7:10 am

must go now but please let us know ...

7:11 am

Ruby, still sending positive vibes your way . . . I know how rough this is for you :-(

7:12 am

fortunately, Ruby is OK but is sad like the rest of us about her "brother"

7:12 am

Sorry, it's Max who is missing?

7:13 am

now, I'm trying to figure out what "tier" for a symbol means in French as the guy used that in his e-mail address

7:13 am

(((Ruby))) I am so sorry. My heart aches for you

7:13 am

I don't mean to sound cavalier but I once had a dog who came home after roaming for five days . . .

7:13 am

yes, it's max (in my avatar photo)

7:13 am

morning Une

7:13 am

tirer, he said it's over the 6 on the keyboard, to separate words

7:13 am

Someone found Max and is emailing you?

7:13 am

good morning Bichon

7:14 am

could he possibly have gone looking for a female in heat? they can sense that from really far away . . .

7:14 am

the problem is that Max had never been off the property before

7:14 am

hey, mom :-)

7:14 am

no, I am trying to send a photo to the SPA

is it the ^ ruby

7:14 am

I think so, thank you, no no

7:14 am

une, do you know what that symbol is called?

7:15 am

ruby, I think it's called a caret

i think it is a care t

7:16 am

I must scoot off here. I wish every one a great day. ((Hugs)) to all of you. Extra hugs for Ruby (((Hugs)))

bye bye (((Mom))) have a good one

7:17 am

My name is in the grid today, Ilana

7:17 am

(((Nono))) I will, you as well

7:17 am

morning all...what has happend to licket's list lately?

7:18 am

Could someone clue the re8 please

no idea Buttonman, but if you wish a list I have it in my profile compliments of VolleymomDee

7:18 am

caret . . . unless it's different in french . . . ?

7:20 am

I think the caret might be called the tiret? cos it shows where letters have been "pulled out" of the original words e.g. etre for estre in the Latin root.

7:21 am

'un accent circonflexe'

7:22 am

tiret is a dash or hyphen

7:22 am

... re8 ... builds from 7 ... sounds like "really old things" but doesn't have a "c"

7:22 am

clue for the re8 frenchified version of something left or forgotten

ty scouser, good clue

7:23 am

tx dos!!

7:23 am

thanks Une - I was guessing !

7:23 am

scouser, i was just googling it LOL

7:24 am

I spend some time doing Anglo-Norman so my French is a re7/40

7:24 am

tyvm scouser

with that i have nbs

7:24 am

:-D

7:24 am

go, nono!!

7:24 am

From the lurkers...thanks scouser!

7:28 am

off to call my insurance agent re the hail damage to my cars Friday afternoon *poof*

7:35 am

I just cannot see the ca 4/8, any clues?

7:36 am

part of your leg Annie

7:36 am

baby cow

7:36 am

Whack me with a flounder...thanks river and pab

7:36 am

yw - funny we had totally different clues

7:37 am

but good ones

7:37 am

sorry, just got an e-mail from a chow breeder; I'm already thinking of getting a new male puppy for Burt as he is crushed

7:38 am

ruby what happened

7:38 am

((ruby)) I was hoping for good news...please dont give up

7:39 am

that's it, une, the caret didn't work

7:39 am

I must sound cold-hearted, but if Max, miraculously, turns up, we will have a new baby

7:40 am

I havent been on the computer for several days - is your dog missing?

7:40 am

Max disappeared Fri night, rvier, I've been crying to everyone in babbleland, but have received many hopes and prayers and words of encouragement

7:41 am

I am so sorry to hear that ruby

7:41 am

No, definitely not cold-hearted, then you will have a bigger family of dogs. Why not get another chow? It will be good for Burt and for you.

7:41 am

all the neighbors have been looking, police and gendarmes involved, but I think it's a lost cause.

7:41 am

I will never change my avatar as it's his picture

7:42 am

I think he must have been hit by a car and crept into bushes or something to die because he's so big, he would have been visible on the roadside

7:43 am

does he usually stray far from the house?

7:43 am

ruby, He might be frightened and hiding somewhere

7:45 am

he's never been off the property in his 8 years, so he could never find his way back

7:46 am

I go outside each night at midnight or so and walk our little road calling his name because it is very quiet then and he would be able to hear me.

7:46 am

if he's hiding in a garage or barn

7:46 am

did our neighbors check their garages and barns in case he got closed up in one

hello all ruby I've been worried all day thinking but hoping Max had been found. So sorry but please keep hoping

7:47 am

*your

7:47 am

((((ruby))))

7:47 am

yes, everybody has looked. my neighbor who has Parkinson's even walked the whole street with his two canes.

7:47 am

These people are wonderful

7:48 am

((Ruby))

7:48 am

my husband is absolutely destroyed by this

7:49 am

I can imagine - they are like our children or better - they dont argue back

7:49 am

... a wood or a creek nearby? ... a bridge? ... abandoned shed? ... our cat was under the hedge in our backyard ...

7:50 am

... any abandoned wells?

7:50 am

we checked every inch of hedge and found a hole near the bottom where he must have gotten out

7:50 am

ruby, did you search your studio...He might be behind a canvas.

7:51 am

that's a funny idea, annie, but he's VERY big, more than 75 lbs and tall

7:51 am

I unfortunatley have to get back to work - ruby be strong and dont give up hope yet.

7:51 am

yes, often if a dog is injured it will hide - part of their innate doggieness - don't want the pack to find you if you are hurt - sounds like you have some really nice neighbors, ruby, to be looking so hard for him

7:51 am

in the best case, we'll have 3 chows!

7:51 am

... where does the other side of the hole go? ... ...

7:51 am

trying to think of any and all possibilities

7:51 am

*hoping for 3 chows for ruby*

7:52 am

unfortunately, toward the busy road below us.....

7:52 am

"3 chows for Ruby" sounds like a good name for a children's book! Thank you all for being so kind!

7:53 am

nbs and nbt, thank you to all in the chat and especially nono with her list - must run to work now - 3 chows for Ruby is my mantra for today!

bye sue

7:53 am

{{river}}

7:53 am

... if you got to the busy road and got scared and didn't or couldn't turn back which way would you go??? ... sorry I'm sure you've already asked these questions yourself a thousand times ... ... ... best wishes

7:54 am

hello ruby - so sorry to hear that Max is still missing - my thoughts have been with you

8:06 am

help with bottom O in first column please

8:07 am

Double vowel + knotty growth in tissue

8:07 am

that seems to be from the upper O

8:08 am

dose, we and various friends have travelled that road back and forth. Unfortunately, this is pretty rural and people go much to fast on that road, headed to and from a local ski resort.

8:08 am

but i needed it so that's good too

8:08 am

Crap, wrong one. Double vowel + anagram of what a train runs on

8:08 am

thank you teach

8:08 am

{{molly}}

8:08 am

8:09 am

ooh ooh i just found the 9!

8:09 am

... just being nosy ... how far to the ski resort? ... ski trails close enough? ...

8:09 am

8:10 am

but the road below is both narrow and busy

8:10 am

isn't a tuile some kind of a sweet thing?

8:10 am

is Max friendly? Would he hop in a car?

8:11 am

sounds like California swamp fog, hurshy

8:11 am

A tuile is a thin, crisp sweet or savory cookie or wafer made of dough or cheese.

8:11 am

no, Max is extremely shy and hasn't been in a car since he arrived; the vets make house calls for him

8:11 am

... it's got two l's

8:12 am

Oh, ruby, was hoping that you had found Max by now. fingers still crossed

9:23 am

it is now time for crossy,s quote of the day! today we continue with our book.library quotes,just because i want to:))

9:23 am

I couldn’t live a week without a private library – indeed, I’d part with all my furniture and squat and sleep on the floor before I’d let go of the 1500 or so books I possess. - H. P. Lovecraft

9:23 am

... Philosophical question ... ... Would Lisa Simpson watch the Simpsons? ...

9:23 am

lol good reason.

9:23 am

no,she would watch family guy

9:24 am

probably not, Dose.

9:24 am

.. the hell she would ..

9:24 am

actually now that i think of it,she would watch nation geograPHIC CHANNEL

9:25 am

... I didn't think she'd watch her own show ... but she'd never stoop to Family Guy, American Dad or Cleveland

9:25 am

PBS

9:25 am

now that i really think of it,she would be in the library anyways

9:25 am

Must go. bbl

9:26 am

tc hego

9:26 am

... The Simpson's does have longevity going for it though ... what is it? ... 25 years now ...... I watched the 500th episode .... so it must have something going for it ... ... (I'll admit to watching a number of great episodes over the years) ...

9:27 am

... or the museum ... trying to open that Egyptian music box again

9:29 am

a petrified dog turd also has longevity going for it:/

9:29 am

lol

9:29 am

... 2 left ... but gotta go ... a good day for everyone

9:30 am

good morning all -- been at this for about 10 minutes and still a lot of blanks

9:30 am

i think babble is about to crash on me:(

9:31 am

Good morning, cybernan.

Sing out if you want a clue.

9:35 am

Well done, lb!

9:36 am

9:36 am

ty, haz. and hi everyone

9:36 am

Okay, try oo plus a reworking of Italian money or one who can't tell the truth

9:39 am

ty - would have taken quite a while for me to work around to that one!

9:39 am

just need an e from the 3rd row now

9:40 am

et4, needle case

9:40 am

You're welcome.

9:42 am

9:44 am

Need clue for na5. Any help?

9:45 am

almost time for the famouse crossy Canadian north woods breakfast

9:45 am

9:45 am

Thanks Haz.

9:46 am

searching for my lost shaker of salt...ah! there it is bring on the te 7/40 shooters

9:46 am

Glad to help, Kenny.

9:47 am

and do not forget to eat the agave worm:))

shouldn't the plural of caucus be cauca? makes sense to me...

well, now that I think about my latin, perhaps it's the feminine, not the plural

9:56 am

The latin singular ending in -us would have -i as the plural.

9:56 am

cauci would be censored

9:57 am

:D

9:58 am

I sure am working over the " " was not found in the dictionary today

10:00 am

I didn't find it to be a very free-flowing grid.

10:00 am

i'm stumped on several tiles

10:01 am

Hi does anyone know if there is a list anywhere today please?

10:02 am

Yes, Sandie, Volleymomdee has one, also NonoNanette.

10:02 am

or me

10:02 am

morning all

10:02 am

Thanks for the info.

10:02 am

Good morning, hootowl.

10:03 am

hi Haz - how is the weather ny you?

10:03 am

good morning everyone

10:03 am

by

10:03 am

Thanks Hootowl. I have got your list.

10:03 am

yw

10:03 am

haz..you're in NYC?

10:03 am

We had frost this morning but it's not too cold now.

10:04 am

No, I think hootowl meant 'by' you.

10:04 am

we didn't have time to order the parade

10:04 am

Weather is crazy here - 80 2 days ago and 40 today

10:04 am

I'm right here at home, as usual.

10:05 am

whew..

10:05 am

we'd have to get special permits and all you know

10:05 am

That's quite a temperature swing, hoot.

10:05 am

ru - you KNOW I can't type to save my life!

10:05 am

:D

10:05 am

<---running with it

10:05 am

been that way for weeks now

10:07 am

I would think Macy's would sponsor that parade Haz

10:08 am

I'd expect a fly-past at the very least.

10:08 am

Bloomberg would have to shut the City down..

10:09 am

Not to mention the Key to the City ceremony turn-out

10:09 am

I'd demand the actors from CSI New York to be there.

10:09 am

a balmy minus 10 now with a wind chill of -18

10:09 am

CLooney would be invited for sure too

10:10 am

I knew it was just a matter of time before Clooney was mentioned.

10:10 am

:D

10:10 am

But take note that I wasn't the one to mention him.

10:10 am

:D

10:10 am

horatio is crossy,s hero,the man just oozes cool

10:11 am

Haz, your secret is safe with me. : )

a clue for ca 6/30 anyone?

10:11 am

The thing is, if Scrabbler gets to hear about it, she's in danger of breaking the terms of her restraining order.

10:12 am

*Zips lips*

10:12 am

part of my home state helen + a pool stick

10:12 am

ca6/30 - first three letters of the sunshine State, then Spanish for 'what'

10:13 am

George has a restraining order against Scrabs? wow

10:13 am

He had no choice.

10:13 am

Um, that would be a Canadian pool stick rue

10:13 am

I understand

10:13 am

I was struggling on that clue molly..lol

10:14 am

how could scrabs possibly two time you haz.. it's unthinkable

10:14 am

they call pool cues something else in the states molly? what? beating sticks? lol

10:15 am

You know what they say about two-timers, usually a friend, rarely a stranger : P

10:15 am

Poor Scrabbler thinks she's Clooney's fiancee. It's very sad when someone loses grip on reality, isn't it?

10:16 am

well.. it is common among stalkers I hear

10:16 am

i was the same way with kylie minogue for a while:))

Thanks, ru, Haz - I had gone blind to the Q!

10:17 am

yw helen

10:17 am

No problem, helen.

10:18 am

too bad scrabs didn't show up for this..lol

10:19 am

I know. She'll be too busy looking after anxious mums and their kids.

10:20 am

I think I respect Doctors and Teachers more than any other professions.. that's for sure

10:20 am

..and queens..:)

10:21 am

although we have more queens over here in SF than England does in the whole country...:)

10:21 am

fire rescue personnel get my vote.anyone who will willingly go into a burning building to haul my singed butt out of it alive gets my vote

10:22 am

yes..they are something too crossie. my cousin is a fireman

10:23 am

I think anyone is worthy of respect who does their job willingly and well.

10:24 am

Of course, now I'll start to think of exceptions to the rule.

10:24 am

ROFL

10:24 am

speaking of queens in SF here is a joke that has been floating around the bowels of this computer...

10:24 am

My flight was being served by an obviously gay flight attendant, who seemed to put everyone in a good mood as he served us food and drinks. As the plane prepared to descend, he came swishing down the aisle and told us “Captain Marvey has asked me to announce that he’ll be landing this big scary plane shortly, so lovely people, if you could just put your trays up, that would be super.” On his trip back up the aisle, he noticed this well-dressed and rather Arabic looking woman hadn’t moved a muscle. “Perhaps you didn’t hear me over those big brute engines, but I asked you to raise your trazy-poo, so the main man can pitty-pat us on the ground.” She calmly turned her head and said, “In my country, I am called a Princess and I take orders from no one.” To which (I swear) the flight attendant replied, without missing a beat, “Well, sweet-cheeks, in my country I’m called a Queen, so I outrank you. Tray-up, Bitch.

10:25 am

love it crossy

10:27 am

THATS OFFENSIVE ON SEVERAL LEVELS

10:29 am

That's also funny - chill!

10:31 am

ease up monday

10:32 am

I couldn't even repeat jokes my gay friends have told me ..here..

10:32 am

indeed ru, same here

10:33 am

monday,it was told to be by a couple we know,they are both males,married and our best of friends,so do not get your nose bent out of joint

10:35 am

one of the friendliest weddings we have attended was between 2 of our very dear gay friends - you should have seen the invitation

10:35 am

up here,the entire thing is a non-issue remember.get married,adopt kids whatever,just other countries that get their knickers in a twist over it.sorry if i offended

10:36 am

I attended a gay wedding (when it was legal here in CA) a few years ago.. it was really moving..

10:36 am

we even have the divorce laws set up for non-residents who come here to wed

10:37 am

I can't wait for the Supreme Court to refuse to hear the case on Prop 8

10:37 am

what is the gist of prop 8?

10:37 am

I"m really stuck now

10:38 am

me too, does anyone have a clue for an5/10 please?

10:38 am

an5/10 - an plus Mr Harvey Oswald rearranged

10:38 am

watching some of the u.s states fight over same sex relationships is like watching the last gathering of the flat earth society:)

10:38 am

thanks Haz

10:38 am

You're welcome, Flosey.

10:38 am

ty haz

10:39 am

One thing I am sure of - the hate spewed on-line does not match up with what I have seen in the streets. Most people think and agree there is no problem

10:39 am

ruru, have you consulted a list yet?

10:39 am

apparently Crossie hasn't met any tea partiers yet

10:39 am

like i say,we do not give it a thought,hence we can share jokes like that without offence

10:40 am

Please! I never cease to be amazed at their narrow-mindedness!

10:40 am

I haven't Haz.. I'm 40 short of nirvana

10:40 am

was not the boston tea party long ago?

10:40 am

time to update crossy

10:41 am

Not here!

10:41 am

yep

10:41 am

Is it possible that monday was offended because that joke contained so many gay stereotypes? Just a thought.

10:41 am

He is not a regular?

or perhaps the arab reference?

10:41 am

probably.. it isn't very PC . that joke

10:41 am

It's not a name that I recognise.

10:42 am

so someone surfing who didn't get the whole conversation

10:42 am

maybe he's only here on Mondays

10:43 am

good one ru

10:43 am

:)

10:43 am

It also was noy given as a slur. I've actually seen it before

10:44 am

the 7's are just hidden well today

10:44 am

No, you just can't find them. Let's call spades spades.

10:45 am

But I'll help you find them if you like.

10:45 am

lol ru

10:47 am

anyone hear from mr p? hope she is doing ok

10:47 am

sorry,if it was not a PC kind of joke,but remember,there is no issue with any of it here,so perhaps we are not as sensitive as we should be.up here it is just love,marriage,life.period.

10:47 am

no ivesy,she has vanished off the radar on my end

10:47 am

ok ty crossie.. i checked fb. she hasnt been on there either

10:50 am

hello again, sorry I missed the joke

10:50 am

hello ruby, good to see you

10:51 am

I'm sure I would have been tres offended! hahah

10:51 am

hello flosey

10:51 am

Well, time I was making a move. The kitchen calls. Bye for now - bye ruby who's just arrived.

10:51 am

I've contacted the Italian woman we know who shows chows, and have started the process for getting a replacement dog for our beloved Max

10:52 am

hopefully, it will make Mr. Ruby feel better

10:52 am

bye haz

10:52 am

perhaps crossy will put it in his bio

10:52 am

yaaa! new puppy for ruby!!

10:52 am

ruby, check 10:24 am

10:52 am

you heard, din't you crossy, that Max disappeared on Fri night

10:53 am

no,i did not:(

10:53 am

we've done everything possible, but I've given up

10:54 am

oh dear, sorry to hear that ruby

10:54 am

if a miracle happens, we'll have 3 chows

10:54 am

it would be a chow down..wow

10:54 am

Max is the dog pictured here

10:54 am

i am sorry you have a missing dog ruby:(

10:54 am

he's going to come back ruby..

10:55 am

someone may have him

10:55 am

I'm afraid not. He must have been hit by a car (black dog, dead of night) and gone off into some shrubbery, somewhere, to die

10:55 am

oh.. I hope not

10:56 am

he is the autistic one and had never been off our property

10:56 am

I am sick and sad about it, but there is nothing to be done or that could have been done

10:57 am

I'll stop talking abut it; it isn't fair to everyone else

10:58 am

doesnt bother me ruby.. talk all you want better than keeping it in

10:58 am

but ruby, please know that your friends here are concerned

10:58 am

(((ruby)))

10:58 am

I am fortunate to have Babbleland helping me through this and saying prayers

10:58 am

vert sorry to hear about max ruby, and don't be silly, that's what we're hear for to listen and help if we can

10:58 am

you are all wonderful!!!!

10:59 am

my poor husband can't talk about it which is why I want to get him a chow pup as soon as possible

10:59 am

you can share anything with us ((ruby))

11:00 am

how long does it take to get one ruby

11:00 am

ruby-even as a lurker-my heart is with you-lost a cat like that yrs ago-still hurts. wishing you good luck!

11:01 am

I don't know yet. We don't want to get another one from Canada because the two black ones have both been beautiful, but too inbred. So I've asked my friend in Italy to find me a European breeder

11:01 am

ty scribekid

11:02 am

getting one from No. America takes longer and I don't trust the breeder who sold us all five

11:02 am

her chows are Mi-Pao, much more beautiful than Martha Stewart's "best in show" at Westminster

11:02 am

we have rescue groups here & when I found a lab I got them to take her-do they have those in Canada? Max might be with them-

11:03 am

sorry-rescue groups by breed

11:03 am

you never know ruby, he might turn up when not expected.some dogs and cats who have disappeared have returned home after years away! is he chipped ruby?

11:03 am

no, scribekid, we are in France and there are very few chows here and I'm sure that Max was the only black one in the whole valley

11:04 am

I thought in France they were spelled Chaux

11:04 am

the problem is that, although gentle, Max is extremely shy and would never go near anybody but us, so he could not even be rescued

11:04 am

ty for making me smile, ruru, I can always count on you

11:04 am

we had a german shepard come back to us after 2 weeks!

11:05 am

I keep going out in the road at midnight, when all is quiet, so that, if he is hunkered down someplace, he can hear me, but it's not likely any more

11:05 am

shepherds are much smarter

11:06 am

3 freezing nights

11:07 am

Ruby, you may be underestimating Max. Remember, instincts never leave domesticated animals.

11:07 am

dogs can amaze you.you said friday? so only 3 days

11:08 am

this is very comforting, {{everybody}}

11:08 am

the niehgbors have been wonderful

11:08 am

maybe there is a lady dog in heat close by - them males are known to travel many miles for a lady dog

11:08 am

what river says is very true

11:08 am

funny idea, river, but I don't think so

11:09 am

Max is no st**

11:10 am

nor am i,but the last thursday in every month sometimes is still fun:))

11:10 am

lol

11:10 am

and chows are not noted for their "capabilities"

11:10 am

lol

11:10 am

puppies do get born somehow....

11:10 am

so never say never,sometimes a ole dog can have a new trick:)

11:10 am

and not all by the needle

11:11 am

to breed chows, they have to muzzle the much more aggressive femailes and {help" the males

11:11 am

ohhh..angry sex:)

11:12 am

the females are the great guard dogs, we didn't have to neuter either of our males as they were so totally passive

11:12 am

I have to go to work.. I have to finish this up later.

11:12 am

tc ru

11:12 am

bye ruru

11:12 am

well maybe Max is finally coming into his oats....

11:12 am

Again Ruby, don't underestimate Max. If he's been, um, "without" for a long time, a female in heat may have been what prompted him to bolt.

11:12 am

max may like a dab of S+M :)

11:12 am

I hope you're right! Everybody is looking for him

11:13 am

hahahah

11:13 am

ill stop if you all wish,just trying to make ruby smile just a bit

11:13 am

Remember, he's not so timid and shy that he didn't take advantage of that hole of escape.

11:13 am

crossy is being naughty

11:13 am

you did, crossy, thank you

11:13 am

that's true

11:13 am

:)

11:14 am

now I have to feed Miss Ruby which is the time that makes me most sad as I always hand-fed Max because he was afraid of his bowl

At my daughter's urging I just went to Sephora and had them apply this incredible makeup.

11:15 am

are you gorgeous now, Kap?

11:15 am

I must go again too - bye all

Remind me what my generation had against makeup?

I'm so gorgeous I am telegenic.

11:16 am

No clue Kap but that no make-up, string straight hair, bra-less look did women no favors.

11:17 am

Hi can anyone clue me the re6/27 plz? Just cannnot get it all.

11:17 am

crossy wants a 8x10 glossy glamour shot kap:)

11:17 am

btw, both my real first name (na5) and my maiden name (li4) are in the grid

Glad I am not the only one who remembers Hyman Kaplan with joy!

Just catching up - Ruby, I am so sorry - I too think it's possible Max is just lying low, but when a loved animal is missing I know your stomach and your brain are both churning, and the pain is awful. We are all with you.

11:20 am

re6/27 & its plural--re + consonant + sub*** an apartment

11:21 am

ty scribe

11:21 am

Thanks so much for that one scribe. I was really stuck on it.

helensgirl- thank you for remembering the glorious H*Y*M*A*N

11:21 am

sure-glad to help-my monkeys got it & I was pleased!

That whole "natural" no-makeup thing was OK when I was 12.

11:23 am

where,s my pic?

But a whole generation did not learn how to apply makeup and prefers the washed-out look.

No pics- wife might get jealous. I want to preserve your marriage.

11:24 am

i prefer make up that is lightly done and accents the beauty already there,not make up that is put on with a brick trowel and creates what does not exist

You know those "Stars Without Makeup" issues in the magazines? I realized that I look like a star without makeup ALL THE TIME.

Yes, my natural beauty is accentuated.

;)

11:25 am

i am sure it is

My picture is to the left of the text.

Look what makeup did for Yetta.

11:26 am

Hi All

11:27 am

lol,give up those smokes kap

11:27 am

I remember Hyman

11:27 am

howdy hego

I got the mineral based essentials starter kit.

That would be H*Y*M*A*N.

Oh Kaplan, My Kaplan.

11:27 am

sorry.

:)

11:28 am

: P

11:28 am

Kap, how is the hand?

11:30 am

is there a list?

11:31 am

Hello!?!

11:32 am

Hope it wasn't something I said.

11:32 am

babbanon or jacula, as she put it on babbanon

11:32 am

Just got here but on phone.

11:33 am

Hi ty

11:33 am

: )

11:33 am

hi hego and scrabs...diving back in....

11:33 am

Splash!!!

11:34 am

not even a ripple hego! :)

11:34 am

lol

The Babnon one is out of date, I think - I'm using hootowl, but valleymomdee has a list too.

11:35 am

ty

11:35 am

crossy does a big ole belly flop into da grid...SPLOOSH!!!

11:35 am

11:39 am

11:41 am

Must admit, it was quite a ways back that I looked at Babanon!

11:42 am

Hi Sue

11:42 am

11:43 am

hi helen and sue

11:43 am

hi lilli!

11:48 am

ok, off to class, bbl!

11:48 am

Here she comes, there she goes.

11:49 am

and I stepped out briefly and missed her

11:49 am

hi, all. anyone have a clue for the re8/55?

11:49 am

lol, but must get moving, have errands to run

11:49 am

pl of the 7

11:49 am

an old part of the past?

11:50 am

another runner. lol

re8/55 pl of re 7/40 - French for ancient holy bones

Substitute qu for c

Sorry - que for c

11:53 am

thanks helen, needed those

11:53 am

phooey, I wasn't up on my holy bones, today.

11:54 am

I have an re 7/40 : ask politely; then I am missingrthe next two re's. that 7/40 does not have a plural in the grid for the 8/55, unless I am confused.

11:54 am

Although, come to think of it, I have seen a lot of them.

11:54 am

I had to google it

11:55 am

I'm completely confused.

11:55 am

Angel, the polite word is the last re7

11:55 am

got them!

11:55 am

thank goodness

11:56 am

turns out the re7/40 for ask politely comes aFTER the ones I was trying to find.

11:56 am

she got them despite our help.

11:56 am

all I had to do was think French!

11:56 am

mais oui!

11:57 am

now must run, have a few errands, 17 left for later, if time

11:57 am

bye Flo

12:03 pm

12:06 pm

hi nan!

12:07 pm

Phone call is done. Back.

12:07 pm

hey scrabs!

12:07 pm

How are you Fran? You are in the grid today. What does it feel like in there?

12:08 pm

Hego, you are not alone. Clues have been confusing me all day. Even when I have the words.

12:08 pm

it's a bit confusing...i don't know which way is up.

12:08 pm

hi molly!

12:08 pm

lol Molly

12:08 pm

Well, good luck in the maze.

12:08 pm

Hi Fran and Nan, Scrabs

12:08 pm

thaks for the help! fireworks!

12:09 pm

hi hego!

12:09 pm

Fran is in the grid! Let's see we had chocolate cake for Hego yesterday, how about cheesecake for Fran?

12:09 pm

Lone O stat?

2:05 pm

sue,you know an apt description of a university?

2:06 pm

it is a really nice library surrounded by a bunch of random buildings;))

2:06 pm

uh oh - yes?

2:06 pm

ah. Sounds about right :-)

2:06 pm

although the library is suffering under budget cuts, and pressures to make it a fun study area rather than a place where books and periodicals live :-(

2:07 pm

thought i was going to be bad,didn.t you? lol

2:08 pm

our library we help pay its overhead by having spots to showcase local painters and everyone shares in the sales

2:08 pm

hi sue

2:08 pm

It really depresses me that libraries are going under.

2:09 pm

you bad, crossy...never!! lol

2:09 pm

well now, that sounds like fun, crossy!

2:09 pm

it is,i think the library gets 10-15% and the artist get a large audience seeing thier

2:09 pm

their paintings*

2:10 pm

and they make more by storing all the town acrchival records

2:11 pm

I was a bit astonished to hear our library dean (at the university) say that he didn't think the library was a place for archival storage - if not the library, then where???

2:11 pm

it is the perfect place imho

2:12 pm

fa 6 please?

2:12 pm

with a few days notice,we can make an appt to see,one of a kind records back from the era of the birth of our town

2:21 pm

It doesn't hurt. I just can't make much noise.

2:21 pm

2:21 pm

During childbirth scenes in movies and sitcoms, infant actors are smeared with cream cheese and red jam for an authentic "just born" look.

2:22 pm

Oh ick.

2:23 pm

2:24 pm

Hi, y'all.

2:25 pm

2:25 pm

Oh! And Cyber! Hello!

2:25 pm

pretty fractious, car, he doesn't understand why I won't let him drive the car, and I have been avoiding discussing the subject as I hate confrontations :-(

2:25 pm

In all of Shakespeare's works, only one word starts with an "X" - Xanthippe, Socrates wife. He uses her name in The Taming of the Shrew.

2:25 pm

Is he really back with her?

2:26 pm

NO way! Really?!?!?!

2:26 pm

he absolutely is, car; apparently the reason he has no money even though he has a job is that it is all going for motels

2:26 pm

i am sorry you are all back to that chaos again sue;(

2:26 pm

her dad won't let them stay at his house either

2:27 pm

Oh gawd.

2:27 pm

at least she doesn't live down the street any more

2:27 pm

hi judi

2:27 pm

but he was driving home from visiting her when he had the accident

2:28 pm

here,a motel room is 160 a night,they may as well just rent an apt then

2:28 pm

and hi, judi, sorry I missed you coming in!

2:29 pm

I think you can find cheap ones for around $50 here but I am not asking

2:29 pm

I'm slippery that way. ;-)

2:29 pm

Stats please for the i?

2:29 pm

2:30 pm

and an il5/12, same word but different last letter

2:30 pm

I really am sorry uusue. After what he went through and put you through...I really am shocked. But it is eerily similar to what battered wives go through.

2:30 pm

Hi sammysmom!

2:30 pm

frighteningly similar, car :-(

2:30 pm

and hi sammysmom!

2:30 pm

hi car... did you hide the other ne /4 ?

2:31 pm

2:31 pm

And now I have 4

2:32 pm

WAit...there is a 5 snuck in there....

2:32 pm

2:33 pm

2:47 pm

I have yu4/7, Chinese money (and plural)

2:47 pm

just found them sue, ty

2:47 pm

e + british slang for money (pound)

2:47 pm

Hi Kate!

2:48 pm

aha! thank you! and hello all

2:48 pm

Yu4 & 5: root like vegetable.. Yu 4 has one less consonant.

2:48 pm

yu4.8 & 5.20 two ways of spelling a plant (cactus? but looks like a palm)

2:48 pm

e + slang for 10 british pounds (I think)

2:49 pm

just one pound Nan

2:49 pm

oh - ok

2:50 pm

live and learn :)

2:50 pm

Pound, qu4, Euro. Make up your minds! The yanks are confused enough.

2:50 pm

oh goodness, I have those (the yu plants) in my yard! How did I miss those?

2:50 pm

What does the 9 start with?

2:51 pm

fr9/108

2:51 pm

we know Judi! dimes - cents - you even call some pennies don't you?

2:51 pm

sorry - watching news for a bit (which I fr 9 do)

2:51 pm

indeed we do, lynxxx - the one cent piece is commonly called a penny.

2:52 pm

what do you aussies have? -- dollars and pence?

2:52 pm

Got the 9! TY!

2:52 pm

Ty. Got the Fr9.

2:52 pm

also, someone pointed out to me once that US coins don't have any numbers on them - if you don't read English you'll have a tough time figuring out which is which. Not very tourist-friendly.

2:53 pm

Just dollars and cents now...no slang anymore sadly...I liked quids etcs

2:53 pm

lol - had never noticed that sue!

2:54 pm

time for lunch, then a snooze i think -- see you at the flip :)

2:54 pm

bye Nan

2:54 pm

Money is so last century. We should all be using plastic or thumb prints or retina scans by now.

2:54 pm

A nap sounds delicious! Enjoy Cybernan!

2:55 pm

They say cheques/checks will be obsolete by 2015...I know for the last 5 years I have only written out 4

2:56 pm

Yeah. Paper stuff is annoying. Just think of the billions governments would save by not having to mint the junk.

2:56 pm

I've started writing a few more checks now that my credit cards are gone, but still it's mostly autopay and debit cards

2:57 pm

think of all the jobs that would be lost too

2:57 pm

There is that downside, lynxxx.

2:58 pm

I give up on this grid. 68 left and frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn.

2:59 pm

96 left for me, would be nice to get half way but I don't plan to obsess about it

2:59 pm

I'm poofing out. See you kids tomorrow! *POOF*

2:59 pm

We seem to be having a run of tough grids - kind of nice for a change but you do need the time to enjoy them

2:59 pm

C'mon Judi! I have 66 left too...we can do it together!

2:59 pm

bye Judi

2:59 pm

Bye Judi!

3:00 pm

we put numbers on our coingae..does not help the american though.i get"which one is the quarter" and i say"the one with 25 cents stamped on it:)

I have a q5/16 and a q4/8, please tell me what the other 2 are.

3:01 pm

3:01 pm

I have another qu 5/16

3:01 pm

5/16 and 6/27

3:01 pm

I had a friend who went skiing on Baffin Island one July but that is way north of you (and he was Canadian anyway)

3:03 pm

well,i am sure baffin island had a nice base

3:04 pm

Crossy...why was he asking you about the skiing silly?

3:05 pm

I'll bet it did :-)

3:05 pm

I am not getting something of the story.

3:05 pm

he wanted to ski,of course! lol

3:05 pm

I think Crossy was illustrating the inanity of some of his visitors

3:05 pm

his timing was juyst bad

3:05 pm

just

3:06 pm

just because Canada is north of us doesn't mean they have snow all the time....

3:06 pm

Ohhhhhhhh! I see! DUh for me!

3:06 pm

(except perhaps on Baffin Island, which is practically at the North Pole)

3:06 pm

gas hit a new high today.i am selling regular for $1.31.9 a litre(times by 4.11 of imperial gallon price)

3:07 pm

for*

3:07 pm

x 3.78 for american

3:07 pm

gas is more expensive in Canada

3:07 pm

as time goes on,it becomes harder and harder to dredge up the old measure;)

3:08 pm

And even more expensive in the uk. Its £1.40 a litre here

3:09 pm

yes,my uncle is paying though the nose for diesel in the U.K

3:09 pm

it's more expensive in most Western countries than it is here. It was the equivalent of $4-$5 per gallon when I lived in Europe in the mid-1990s.

3:10 pm

but distances are smaller there.yesterday i drove for 9 hours to deliver some paperwork to my da..do that in the uk and you are in the ocean:)

3:11 pm

Cars are smaller there too. It was still pretty expensive.

3:13 pm

not only cars, but household appliances too.

3:13 pm

gas here is $1.37.7/liter

3:13 pm

indeed,they were into conservation long before we in noirth america had to face up to the fact of it

3:15 pm

i mean the new 2012 ford f 150 4x4 pick up .i slop 160 dollars of fuel into it..that is a months supply for my toyota echo,and the truck gets just under 700k for all that fuel..terrible

3:15 pm

when we hit $1.50/litre this summer,you will be able to buy them for a song:)

3:16 pm

don't see many of the hummers around anymore - they must have been gas guzzlers

3:16 pm

and hi, back to hopefully finish up

3:16 pm

We university. The number of kids bring trucks and SUVs to school is astounding

3:16 pm

My car does 500-600 miles on £70 of fuel. It's only small, but sporty looking and very economical

3:17 pm

*leave near a university

3:17 pm

strangly enough flosey,they are not the worst..the ford i just talked about and the chev surburban/yukon are the worst

3:17 pm

ok, off to doctor's appointment, bbl!

3:17 pm

later sue

3:18 pm

tc suze;)

3:18 pm

ah, don't know those, not really up on makes and models, just always thought the hummers were the ugliest of all

3:19 pm

they were in the top 3 to be sure

3:19 pm

they became a joke,the owners were asked what they were compensating for...

3:20 pm

ah, there were a couple on the island here but haven't seen them in a long time

3:22 pm

does anyone have a clue for the second ca6/30 please?

3:23 pm

oh, just found it - lo and behold, was full of coffee

3:23 pm

container for wine, Flosey

3:23 pm

right now that sounds more interesting Kate, and thanks

3:23 pm

they laughed when i bought my toyota in 2004,when fuel was 70 cents a litre..they are not laughing new:)

3:24 pm

LOL yw

3:24 pm

ty kate

3:24 pm

just back from running errands and a bit tired

3:24 pm

you know the old saying crossy - He who laughs, last best, (my father use to quote that to us)

3:25 pm

not to mention that same toyota i am still driving has needed the front brakes done once and a taillight bulb..in 8 years,that is all;)))

3:25 pm

either en6 pls

3:25 pm

wow, great car

3:26 pm

en6 - bravo, more, more

3:26 pm

greatperformance--more please

3:26 pm

ty flosey

3:26 pm

ty ty

3:27 pm

and en6 - en + could be a nasty sore

3:27 pm

ty flosey

3:27 pm

thanks flosey for my last E!

3:27 pm

yw

3:27 pm

cos is Smash on tonight?

3:28 pm

yes it is.

3:28 pm

I started watching Downton Abbey last week! Like it

3:28 pm

thanks cos. missed it last week

3:28 pm

i watched the first episode of downtown abbey last night!

3:28 pm

I liked it too.

3:28 pm

bbl

3:32 pm

<---Loves Downton

3:35 pm

I watched "Hugo" last night. Enjoyed it.

3:36 pm

wish i could find a show to love again..paying almost 90 dollars a month to watch deja view and the odd movie on amc,other than that all i hear is "there is nothing on again"

3:36 pm

my friend said hugo was "interesting"

3:36 pm

i have heard good things about hugo

3:37 pm

alcatraz is on tonight as well. two episodes.

3:37 pm

Cinematography wise, Hugo is amazing. It's a cute story.

3:37 pm

Are you sure Cos? No car races tonight? : P

3:37 pm

yes lol i double checked.

3:38 pm

a lot of tv shows will be preempted tomorrow though. it's "super tuesday"

3:38 pm

"little bird tells me,they might try monday night nascar..

3:39 pm

NASCAR has enough of a following that it might work. In the off football and baseball seasons.

3:40 pm

god forbid lol.. i have to suffer football in the winter. baseball int he summer. id like one tv season with no sports cancelling my shows :)

3:40 pm

the talking heads also agree it may work

3:40 pm

As far as most movies go, I will pay a buck at Redbox for them and that's about as much as I will spend.

3:41 pm

we do not have redbox,but i am seriously considering netflixs

3:41 pm

netflix is good.. just stick with the streaming package. dont get the one dvd at a time. its worthless.

3:42 pm

i live 100 feet away from a redbox so its nice. i can reserve a movie online and walk 100 feets, swipe my debit card and get the movie. and be back home all in 5 minutes

3:42 pm

we get a all you can watch package here cosdem,but with a bit less variety than you..it is only our monopolistic data packs from our 3 big providers that limit us

3:44 pm

biggest i can get is out top end pack that offers 250 gig..that is 2 movies a night with leeftover data for run of the mill daily computing

3:44 pm

I do miss the rental stores though. Most of the time I'm in the mood for an old movie instead of a new release. So now I just frequent the 5 dollar bin at the Mart stores.

3:44 pm

ah thats not fun but im sure it's still worth it. once the caption law goes in effect (all streaming movies and tv shows online must be captioned), We're getting rid of our dish and using netflix and hulu exclusively

3:44 pm

a standard netfix movie will use 400 meg for a full lenght title

1st month is free w/ netflix. you got nothing to loose

3:44 pm

we are not allowed hulu:(

3:45 pm

brb

3:45 pm

clue for either ca6 please?

3:46 pm

ca6/30...Short for the earthquake State + froo froo paper money ending

3:47 pm

ca6/21...auto + more or ***s

3:47 pm

thanks for the ca6/21 now to think what u mean by froo froo paper ending :) hmmm

3:47 pm

Remember our conversation yesterday?

3:48 pm

yes that just came to mind...

3:49 pm

3:52 pm

3:52 pm

4:20 pm

hi mrp :)

4:21 pm

on bab anon and other people profiles mrp

4:21 pm

but i must admit alot of us have missed licketys. we hope you are all ok.people have been coming in asking about you

ok, good that people are taking care of that.

4:22 pm

the lists aren't important...people are :)

4:22 pm

the lists aren't important...people are :)

4:23 pm

oops...sorry

4:23 pm

hi mr p hope all is well

i can't say anything right now about anything lillian. i am sick of being accused of being a mental case by a certain babbler who is rubbishing me on FB babble community at every opportunity. I have a very tough time I am going through and will NOT be on for some time. Tell my friends I miss them and luv them and not to worry. I will not be bullied and intimidated and humiliated by a 'perfect babbler who has NO problems' but choses to air my laundry in the most insideous and vexatious way right now. you all know who you are my friends.... things will be very well. I look forward to chatting at a later date and perhaps getting clues back to a daily time when I AM READY. thanks for listening xox always

4:28 pm

do as i do mr p and don't bother with fb xx

ps, I can't do clues as I am away from my computer for several weeks... so I am sorry for the inconvenience. xox again and *poof*

4:29 pm

mr p, ignore FB. Not a nice place!

4:30 pm

i don't go on fb very much now so had no idea mrp.i'm sorry to hear about the trouble, you have enough to cope with and as i said clue lists aren't important...people are. nice to see you mrp.tc

4:32 pm

Don't forget that this is just a game and you are dealing with real life x

4:33 pm

and whoever they are on fb must not have a life]

I think fracus should be a word.

fuzzy and lill, I belong to the FB community babble page... this 'person' has no life... no morals, no forgiveness and am sick of the lies and put downs. So, I just ignore that 'person', and it can peeve her to the point of still attacking me.

i really have to go! luv to you xox!!

so sorry to hear about mrp being bashed around in our babble community. Seems to becoming more common. I do FB but don't check babble community group very often. Hang tough MrP--we love you!!!

4:36 pm

same from me Mr P - we know all the previous hassle you have had in the past - keep strong XX

4:36 pm

hugs mrp. look after yourself!

4:37 pm

i'm on the babble page to but don't go in very often.i just play my word game and bingo now...sad i know!!lol

4:38 pm

mrp! how ru

4:39 pm

lol i play word games and bingo too :)

4:39 pm

oh, good, i'm the the sad person cos :)

4:39 pm

lol no. i'll be proud with you lol

4:40 pm

i used to play farmville but have stopped that for now as i was getting fed up with it being slow and thrown off!

4:40 pm

aww, thanks cos!! lol

4:41 pm

yes me too.. im done with farmville .. its become a chore now. way too many goals and stuff

4:43 pm

exactly!! i was spending more time doing that than anything else!! it should be fun not a chore as you say. i want to feel good not stressed.....perhaps i should stop babbling because the grids lately have been stressful!! lol

4:45 pm

hello everyone

4:46 pm

hi annie

4:46 pm

hi lil :)

Wow, a Babble community on FB where there are even more chats and discussions and group dynamics? I don't know how I feel about that...

This is about all I can handle.

4:47 pm

im in that group on fb and the chats are mostly about bacon and downtown abbey

No daytime soaps? What good is that?

4:49 pm

lol. although i do ignore most of the posts

I didn't realize at first that there is this long-term group process here, and that there are often hurt feelings etc.

4:49 pm

I just looked over the comments on the Babble community page and I have to say, I am at a loss as to what was referred to.

4:50 pm

me too molly

Like if someone gets on and says hello and doesn't get a greeting back. It seems to me that this is a rapid, playful and disorganized mode of communication, and expecting acknowledgement is kind of like expecting everyone in your subway car at rush hour to acknowledge you...

it's sort of the fun of it, the randomness.

4:51 pm

I certainly didn't see any bullying, intimidation or humiliation.

I couldn't find it either Molly.

4:52 pm

i do see some friction between two babblers but mrp isnt either one of them. i hope she is ok.

4:52 pm

And as a moderator of several internet message boards I have always suggested that people keep their personal wars between each other in email and not bring them to the whole board to deal with.

I prefer the drama on Downton Abbey, and the Dowager Countess can post her zingers here any time.

I even prefer Sammi Brady.

4:53 pm

i finally saw the first episode last night. and i was very impressed.

THIS IS A GAME. Granted, it's a game, or puzzle, that consumes many waking hours...

Cos, did the third ABfab ever get aired?

4:54 pm

Fortunately Kap, very few choose to bring their drama here.

4:54 pm

no not yet. iwa s wondering that a few mis ago. let me check

Did anyone see "Awake" and was it good?

4:55 pm

i havwe awake on my dvr. i will watch it tomorrow.. ... 3rd abfab will be late spring

4:55 pm

Awake is strange. I'll have to see more of it to decide if I like it.

Also- Mad Men in 3 weeks...

4:55 pm

im looking forward to season 2 of the killing. it starts april 1st

Anyone hanging in there with "Luck" on HBO?

4:56 pm

brb

The more TV series and on-line puzzles, the less we have to worry about tornadoes and Iran.

More opiates for the masses.

Anyone hear the terry Gross interview about breaking habits?

And Rick or Rush.

I know we don't do politics here, but I did wonder how Rush can be so against insurance payng for birth control when his oxycontin was covered- and viagra.

By the way, if your Babble lasts more than 4 hours, call your doctor.

5:00 pm

Kap, try AmazonUnbox for "Awake". I'm a prime member, but I think anyone can watch it for free.

I have it on DVR.

5:00 pm

Oh, okay. Let me know what you think.

Just can't watch it yet because my oldest dau. is here with 3 guests for a conference.

For 3 days.

What a fracus.

5:02 pm

Whee! House guests!

the decor of our house is kind of in the style of those crowded NY apartments belonging to elderly academics who can't get rid of their books and antique appliances, and have too much ADD to clean properly.

Oh, goody- 5 black rotary phones, six chrome toasters, and a mahogany box tv set from 1948

Don't you want to sleep on the couch with my neurotic cat?

5:04 pm

Our houses, when they work, we don't think about all the little boxes of connectors and the pipes and pumps. But when it doesn't work...

Sorry about that, lynxxx!

8:08 pm

8:09 pm

Hi wht.

8:09 pm

not getting that co clue

8:10 pm

c + not off + *i* tree, change the i to another vowel

8:10 pm

Shirlockc - co* - a fiddle or a racket, something that cheats you, plus the first 3 letters of a green fronded plant often found near water.

8:10 pm

Heya Jac, nice to see you here.

8:11 pm

Hi Molly. Nice to see you, too.

8:11 pm

chee, i'm so blind, thx all

8:12 pm

You're doing okay Shir., and no blinder than anyone else if you can't 'see' the word straight off.

8:13 pm

I'm always amazed, when I do my sweep of 'words not found' at how many plurals I haven't found or how many words I've seen, thought I'd typed in but haven't.

8:13 pm

still don't see the ca 6/30 # 2

8:14 pm

Babble DOES lose words

8:14 pm

first 3 letters of earthquake state + spanish what?

8:14 pm

me neither Ru

8:14 pm

ruru - 2nd ca6.30 is something you put wine in to serve it 'at table'.

8:15 pm

oh geez - TY Jac, that was too easy

8:15 pm

oh.. I drink straight from the bottle..no wonder..

8:15 pm

thanks jax

8:15 pm

lynxxx - I think you're right about Babble losing words. Either that, or I've been slowly going bonkers for the past 6 years or so!:-(

8:15 pm

thank you jac that is

8:15 pm

how about the te 7 / 8?

8:16 pm

First part of the 'phone & 'walk' really really fast

8:16 pm

<-- Not at all surprised at the "straight from the bottle" comment : P

8:17 pm

te7/8 is airfield radar.

8:17 pm

*Giggling at straight from the bottle comments.*

8:18 pm

Shirlockc - te4.4 + what the athlete did. Maybe long distance.

8:18 pm

te7 is also a trademark, like Freon, so I don't get why it's accepted.

8:18 pm

Also, for the last part of the te7/8 words, you could say that was what your not waterproof mascara did when you cried.

8:18 pm

i could swear i tried that te word!

8:19 pm

Ok.. ready for the f's

8:23 pm

I don't know if I will make it past the c's

8:23 pm

wht - do you do the grid in alphabetical order?

8:25 pm

Once I start listing, I tend to do that, especially without Lickety.

8:25 pm

It just makes it easier to keep track of where I am.

8:27 pm

what's with lickety?

8:27 pm

m's

8:27 pm

Mr P is taking a break from doing the clues.

8:27 pm

According to Mr P earlier, there will be no Lickety List for several weeks, due to the fact that she will be "away from her computer".

8:28 pm

rats

just pooping in we have Jacula, thanks for the list I would never have finished without it

popping!!!!

8:29 pm

Yes Jac, thank you for posting the list for us. It is very much appreciated.

8:30 pm

could anyone point me towards the my 6

its me ruru

8:30 pm

I my6 wouldn't dream of pointing you there.

8:30 pm

me, my**** and I, ru

8:31 pm

oh my god

8:31 pm

Enough clues, or do you need three or four more?

8:31 pm

I'm blind as a bat

twas my last word and It took me ages to find

8:31 pm

thanks ..I'm an idiot

8:31 pm

No calling blind for that word. It's nasty, twisty, awful.

8:33 pm

yes.. Jac.. thank you very much for the list..

8:33 pm

I wish it were as easy for me as it is for you, dee, and others

8:33 pm

I come into the grid and find words willy-nilly, then I come back for a more measured look at things. Later, I return to sweep up what's left - and that might take 3 sweeps. Then, I look through the chog for clues. Then I see if the Lickety list is up - always grateful for that for stragglers. I don't use the LicketyPro list, just the normal one. If that isn't available, I look to see if anyone has posted a list before me. But I never copy anyone's list to my bio or BabAnon or post a list in either place until I've finished the grid myself. Then I do my own list by copy, paste, removing 'look up word' and then removing all letters except the first 2. I also make a space between 1st 2 letter groups.

8:33 pm

rur - y/w.

8:34 pm

ruru - you are not an idiot!

8:34 pm

Jac, you do a great job. Thanks.

8:34 pm

the space is so much appreciated jac.. makes it easier to read

8:35 pm

wht - Thank you. I'm just standing in until Lickety returns.

8:35 pm

cosdem - yes, I find the space much more conducive to reading the list easily, too.

8:36 pm

i do appreciate anyone who posts a list but i do recognize the effort you make jac so thank you

8:37 pm

I appreciate all the people who copy lists into their profiles. It makes finding a list and directing people to one so much easier.

8:38 pm

I love finishing grids..

8:39 pm

Hooray for Ru!!

8:39 pm

And Jac, from what has been said here, I don't think Lickety himself is returning. But we will get the Lickety list when Mr. P will provide it.

8:39 pm

Cos - thanks, but sometimes I do the grid all on my own and sometimes I look to other lists to fin my last few. If I hadn't finished the grid but saw the need for a list and directed someone to another person's list, I would say that I had done so. The thing is, we are all here at different times, have different sets of friends we see at the times we play, and so ALL lists are welcome.

8:40 pm

agreed. if i ever get good enough to do a grid without alist, i'll make my own too :)

8:41 pm

Molly - Thanks for the info. I'm sorry Lickety is not well yet, or not around, whichever it is, but glad to hear MrP is okay.

i'm good enough but i need a list too ;)

8:42 pm

mrp said she is away from her computer for a few weeks

8:42 pm

Good - there's one in my profile, if you need it! LOL

8:43 pm

Gotta run - bye everyone

8:43 pm

bye lynxxx

8:43 pm

hi all

8:43 pm

'Byeee lynxxx.

8:44 pm

molly i just checked my dvr. it is indeed recording 2 hours of alcatraz

8:44 pm

(Must she run? I don't 'do running! LOL)

8:44 pm

Hello jmc.

8:44 pm

Can I get a clue for the last co7 and co6?

8:44 pm

At the rate I'm going Cos, it will take me two or three days to watch all that. : )

8:45 pm

lol.. ill prob watch it all tonight. busy tomorrow with the democratic caucuses then election results on tv

8:46 pm

I have the co6,24 which might be a plural nickname for Iowa State.

8:46 pm

<---Only thinks running is necessary when there is a fire or natural disaster. Sometimes I think "gotta run" is a euphemism here, but that's just me.

8:46 pm

Molly - if I can check a 10,000 word m/s of my own and read the first 3 chapters of a friend's book - you can watch 2 hours of dvd.

8:47 pm

i like to watch other people running

8:47 pm

I can Jac, but it's hard with the constant interruptions of daily life. I like to catch at least an hour in one watching. Which is why I save a lot of that for the weekend.

8:48 pm

co7/36 relates to the co6.24 before it. Co6/24 after that is the dogwood shrub/tree.

8:49 pm

Molly - 'constant interuptions of daily life'? Tell me about it! No, thinking about it, don't! I know!

8:49 pm

OK I have the dogwood, I need the co6 before the co7

8:50 pm

wht - add another vowel to the end of the co5.14 before it.

8:52 pm

ty Jac. That was a nasty twisty word I have never seen before.

8:52 pm

c's corralled

8:52 pm

This is a nasty, twisty grid full of evil words. People have been running, screaming from it all day.

8:52 pm

And d's done.

8:53 pm

hi folks

8:53 pm

LOL Molly. Have they?

(out of lurk mode) hello everyone! clue for the i perhaps?

8:54 pm

The combination of difficult grids + no Lickety is making people grumpy. My6 included.

8:54 pm

Are those the runners jmc was watching?

8:54 pm

Oh dear!

8:55 pm

i was watching nrkii kje and redturtlehead

luckily I haven't found myself wanting to finish (ie need a list) lately... been so busy that finishing a grid has become stressful.

8:55 pm

Hello balletslippers. Both i words are intestinal word.

8:56 pm

hi ballet

thanks jac!

hi jmc!

8:56 pm

hi ballet, hey jmc - safe home?

8:56 pm

i since i just got home after leaving last night after 9 central i think i will not start this

8:56 pm

ballet - if finishing a grid becomes stressful, don't finish. Just play for as long as you enjoy playing.

8:56 pm

yes yes welki--missed a couple of turns but who cares?

hi welki!

8:57 pm

would you believe the pic will still not show up for me when i click on your icon?

that's what I've been doing, jac. Life has gotten pretty crazy since we got the little puppy. She's way more of a handful than I ever would have imagined.

8:57 pm

oh dear i will see if i can post it on fb then

8:57 pm

Hi jmc. Glad you got home safely.

8:58 pm

Welki, try clicking on her icon, right clicking in a white spot and hitting RELOAD from the drop down menu.

how about I ask.... may I have the stats for the i please?

8:58 pm

no right click on this mac - and i've tried it on a pc, must be something wonky on the server

8:58 pm

but thanks just the same :)

8:59 pm

ballet - il5.14 & il5/12.

8:59 pm

No, it's a Mac thing. I gave you PC instructions. Either that or it's pancake hat interference. : )

8:59 pm

ty jac

yeah... thought they would be il. Thanks, jac!

8:59 pm

i posted it on fb but someone else will have to tag it

9:00 pm

i've tried it on my pcs - mini and desktop - the pic won't appear

9:00 pm

pancakes do cause internet interference--i think you are right molls

9:00 pm

there it is! but WHERE ARE YOU?!

9:01 pm

9:01 pm

9:01 pm

ty for posting it on fb - uhm, next time, set it on a timer!

9:02 pm

Half in and half out of the water with a burly man?

9:03 pm

oh the silly camera i have doesn't have a timer

9:03 pm

9:04 pm

i pretended for a short while that i was as neat as the rest of them but finally just ran into the waves in my jeans

9:04 pm

men surfing? Pancakes? I should be going to bed now, but I'm hungry! LOL

9:04 pm

Neat? People are neat on vacation?

9:05 pm

healthy appetites :)

9:05 pm

Molly - I think 'neat' in this case means 'as slim as'?

9:05 pm

well they put on old shoes to go to the beach and such

9:06 pm

some people are always neat and that is fine with me

*still thinking about pancakes*

9:06 pm

was it too cold for bathing suits?

9:06 pm

I'll take your unfettered, free styling dash at the waves in your jeans any day.

9:07 pm

f's finished

my grandmother is always saying she wants me to dive into the waves at the beach on my wedding day... in my wedding dress!! eep!

9:07 pm

it was for me but nrkii went into the water and i think maybe redturtle did too--i just waded and let the waves catch me

but I bet it would feel so freeing and delightful...

9:08 pm

I can't be bothered to make pancakes at this time, much as I would like to, but I can go to bed a grab a snoring man, whose snores could perhaps eventually sound like surf as I fall into sleep, if I can with him bl**dy snoring. LOL. See you all next grid. Happy Babbling! x

9:08 pm

Sweet dreams Jac.

night jac

9:08 pm

g'night, jacula - sweet surfing

9:08 pm

hmmm better not be a silk wedding dress then-- go for something that doesn't become transparent and dries quickly

9:08 pm

bye jac

i think it's a non-issue as I doubt I'll get married on the beach, jmc. but yes, I could see some transparency issues here.

9:09 pm

Ballet, I love the way your Gram thinks. : )

me too, Molly! She's quite the character.... when I was in high school, she told me I didn't drink and party enough. :P

9:10 pm

<---WILL be that kind of Gram

wonderful!

clue and/or stats for the 9?? I just want nbt and nbs before I do the dishes and go to bed. haha

9:11 pm

9:12 pm

We have gotten requests for the fr9 with great fr9.

9:12 pm

oh i think getting married on a beach could be fun

haha oh!! thanks, wht. got it.

and molly!

a beach wedding might be nice, but the sand and the wind.... and then the family members complaining that it's not in a church. I think I'd rather not go to the trouble since it wouldn't be something very important to me.

alright well nbs and nbt for me. I shall pop off to bed now as I'm right exhausted. Dishes might just be ignored until morning like the vacuuming has been. :) *hugs* night all!!

9:17 pm
