our minds were wandering a bit
oh thank goodness...thought you were crying for real
and just what are you saying, young man????
my mind always wander.
no tears; just stuffiness from dust (although I swear my house was perfectly clean) LOL
your mind might have been wAndering, mine was wOndering
almost your former house
i cleaned today and changed pictures in the frames. it looks nicer now
lovely... dart I was actually thinking about that today... getting closer and feels kinda strange... altho still ours til sold lol
volley...will you have any overlap on your email addresses?
hey, cossie, come on over here, have a whole house which needs your loving touch
ryans mom is buying a new house. her 5th in 7 years
lol wld love to get out of here rose :)
wow, does she enjoy moving?
unreal... she certainly has more energy than I
cos is enjoying the weather now...winter-summer-winter-summer-wint er
she has an addiction to buying houses. but this time shes not selling her current house. shes renting it out instead. must be nice to be a high level executive at wells fargo lol
I haven't cancelled this one yet. The other is supposed to start next Friday. I thot if the other doesn't get connected I could use wireless at Starbucks.
well, how about June/July? will not be quite so active then.will need some sup[port. ( you know everything sags after 60, right?)
brb
july is perfect lol
you were wondering about old emails...you could forward them from old to new if you want to keep them and you have an overlap
dee u can pretty much find free wireless anywhere you go :) im using my neighbor's wifi.. she gave me permission
not a bad idea for the stragglers... I only have 5 more folders to go through, but that is a great idea
most of our neighbors here are password protected... I would think it would be same in the new neighborhood... not sure though
I could also deluge my hubby's at work, but he might strangle me if I do that LOL
and you have to watch what you do on the public ones...coffeeshops, airports etc....probably dont want to use passwords, do banking etc
I don't do any banking online.
my neighbor used my wifi for 2 years then she ofered to get wifi so i can cancel mine and use hers..
my neighbor used my wifi for 2 years then she ofered to get wifi so i can cancel mine and use hers..
nice, cos
sorry hiccup
Interesting tidbit... the new provider is only a couple of dollars more than this one and the internet is faster and we should get more TV channels...
28 to go.. will find 3 more then call it a night and go to WW
i use dish. its 100.00 cheaper than comcast. love it.
we get twice as much channels for the same price with dish
and we get two free dvr boxes with dish
For some reason this neighborhood never did well with dishes (don't know if it is because we were close to airport)
i heard bad things about dish but we decided to try it out. maybe its because of our elevation we've never had problems.. it went out 3 times in 2 years and it came right back on within 5 mins
the only con with dish is there is no on demand :(
25 left. saving them for tomorrow. onto WWF. night all
We have never had on demand; have always just watched Netflix dvd's or streaming.

hello all
Hello Kazze!
guess what chaps - after weeks of various chest infections, I now have bleeping tonsilitis
I have many Q's...qu 5/16
there are lots of qs
Oh Kazz! You can't be serious!?!?!? How horrible!
Good morning Kaplan!
hi kazz and kap
I managed to get to the docs today and have yet another course of antibiotics
ah, good morning.
if it makes you feel better kazz i thought you said you have bleeding tonsilitis. at least it's not that bad!
i put a list in my profile for those who may want it.
they look like golf balls
hi good, dawg
fluorescent and glowing in the dark
Oh kazz! I am so sorry.
This has been quite a long haul for you.
poor kaz. hi kap, GE, welki, et. al. bbl, time to send hubz off to the salt mines.
I am getting really fed up with it - I was quite poorly in work the last couple of days but could nt afford to take time off
Will they be removing your tonsils then?
no - just been told to take some really strong painkillers so I can actually drink something
How long has it been since you were able to take in fluids? Perhaps an IV would be beneficial to get your strength back up.
no doc think I will get over it - its just irritating being not able to swallow comfortably - but hopefully the painkillers are working and I will have a nice big glass of water
I will be sending good healing prayers and thoughts your way Kazz. {[hugs}}
thanks car - has Ruby been on today?
sheila, I have the following qs 4,5,7,8,6,7,5,6,5,6,6,5,6 - missing 4

Eesh. Always so pleasant, isn't peri?
My cat does that.
*isn't it"
awwww peri sorry about that. She could well have eaten too fast or a bit too much
Bukimic cats?
bulimic.
and now she is hungry so just gave her a little dry food. she tends to eat the canned stuff too fast at times
found 10 of the q words
me too.
wtg I only have 7 of them
they are pretty common words NoNo
do you have odd, odder,oddest and pl of the first one
one who asks questions
yes i have thoses and the silent ones
just added two more
ok
to shoot liquid from something, minus the first letter, will give you two more (with plural)
ty
ty City
np... I seem to be stuck at 12 Q's now
morning all!
hi sue
morning Sue
When we give q clues we should give the letter after the u because the u is implicit. Such as qui5.
hi peri and nono!
and kap!
Hi. All those in favor, say aye.
Aye!
morning
aye!
after que7/40 (one who asks), there's another que7/40 that would seem to mean the same thing, using a different last two letters.
Those opposed?
sorry, implemented the change before it had been voted in ;)
hello...is there a list today?
Passed! All qu words will now be clued with the letter after the u included.
found a qua6 and 7 combo and old fashioned form of a question
list in my profile phaeton
ty
Law is enacted.
ty nono, nice words!
still can't find them.
so much for the rule of law.
Me neither.
is the rch group really not good for anything today?
Morning friends
qu + common babble word with different last vowel
qu and what is the next letter please. See rule of law below.
morning bob
I couldn't figure out a clue if I used all qua at once, kap...
hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
I need to come back later with a fresh pair of eyes.
I wonder where I left my spare eyes?
to need something is to req---- it. aTake off the re, then pluralize, then make past tense
try ... qua + er4/4 (reverse last two letters)
I that's the one, City 17!
oh those are the question ones i clued earlier
I know, nono, Kap hadn't found them yet...
i thought you were clueing something new and was trying to find them LOL
bbl.
oops, sorry for the goose chase
Uhg. The guy in Finance keeps trying to call me to ask me invoice questions. I have nothing to do with invoices. Thank God for caller ID so I can ignore him.

thanks
Just to be clear, that er4/4 that was included in the qu7 clue is not the er 4/4 in the grid

silly word
Ha!! thought it sounded old Roman.

hi Crossy
howdy nono
good morning dear friends
((trif))
morning Trif
and how is everyone this chily grey day?
lol@ chilly,at a balmy 9 c,we are still 20 degrees above the average norm for this time of year
good but its not grey here, the sun is out and temp on the rise
hi crossy, trif
secondo went to see the australian desert, where it was a "balmy" 137 F
you may be in for the rain we had a bit earlier trif
ouch
the aussies can keep that
oh my 137! now that is warm
rain would be most welcome. wth the lack of snow this weekend,we are WAY down on precip
we are in the same boat trif,our "winter" was a pitiful thing that ended a month and a half early and our water tables are down 4 feet over all
true Trif, they say conditions for brush fires are at an all time high this spring due to lack of snow cover
when I was dropping primo off at college last weekend after break, the fens of Boston were on fire, and it was pretty scary. When a fen can catch fire, you know things are off
now,saying that,we have tons of water compared to other locales
we're in red flag warnings for the eastern side of the state already.
water supplies here are good too, Crossy. One local community has agreed to sell millions of gals a day to a drilling company for their operations
do not forget the qu 7/40= to ask questions
thanks for the ce clue - finally NBT and NBS with 40 to go
and the other qu7= more so of the first
wtg river
must get stuff done. bbl tonight. hagd/n everyone
bye dawger
the de5.12 bothers me no end. that word is ALREADY plural....
tc lbd
That word bugs me too Trif.
As did omened, yesterday. There is no past tense of omen.
thanks molly.
thanks molly.
110 down, but stuck now
tertiare is home sick today, so I told her she could rent a movie. and she picked "jack and Jill" and now I want to punch a kitten in the face
a little syrupy sweet was it?
I can understand that Trif
just the worst movie EVER
That looks like a total dog of a movie to me.
TRUST me, it is.
I'm wondering WHY Pacino agreed to be in a movie with Adam Sandler and Katie Holmes. Are times that tough?
johnny depp is in it too! what, did they owe someone favors?
where do I go to get my 90 minutes back?
of course, I am mostly babbling, it is spooling in the background
Maybe they lost a bet.
qu, re, te and we 8 -- anyone know what I am missing?
well,i am sure he still ducks his head when his version of charlie and the chocolate factory airs

ty flosey
ty flosey
and good morning everyone
hi flosey
mirning
morning
you are most welcome
morning jane
People rave about the Depp version of Charlie And The Chocolate Factory. I have no idea why.
I don't get it either. but I do LOVE the Gene Wilder one, wacky as it is
hi again all, did my taxes
well done uusue!
wb sue hope the taxes went better than mine did
i'll be getting a nice refund, and not so big that I have to report it to the bankruptcy trustee :-/
The Gene Wilder version is near and dear to my heart.
good for you sue!
to all our hearts
some moves,you just do not mess with
my taxes got all messed up by an inept (idiot) preparer
:(
bummer, nono!!!! I use software and do it myself, haven't had problems except when I forget things
now have to wait and refile a corrected state return
always use to do it myself sue, until hubby passed away, now have all those 1099 forms for mutuals etc and I get totally confused as to what goes where
god bless H+R block!
Oh my God, Clooney and his Dad have been arrested in DC for protesting at the Sudanese Embassy. Should I go bail them out?
I re 7/40 a clue for the other re 8, please
Haz will already be there Molly
they can probably bail themselves out, molly :-)
and good for them!
YES! Molly I'll go with you and help
Oh but this just happened, and I am much closer than Haz (insert evil laugh)
re8/40 ends with double vowel
betwwen the two of them,they could buy a small town,i would not worry overmuch ladies
re + spanish aunt + cons + double vowel
don't you think she was at the protest?
No Flosey, you are getting Haz confused with Scrabs. Scrabs is the stalker.
ty nono - glad I asked for a clue as I would never have found that on my own!
oh no, Haz usually has him in a closet under the stairs, Molly she'd know his whereabouts
Oh dear, I had no idea it was a prisoner/slave mistress type relationship.
yw nan, someone clued it that way earlier
oh my yes, she watches him with an evil eye
just went to look up the def and av program closed explorer due to "malicious software" - anyone else having this problem? Skype won't work today either (solar flares, maybe)
no problems here Nan
Can't help you with Internet Explorer Nan, haven't used that browser in years.
no probs here nan
but i last looked at explorer years ago
clue for the we8 pls...an g'day to all
okay, not hitting half way, but feeling babble guilt...should get stuff done....
it's a plural, here's the definition for the singular: a gladiator equipped with a net for casting over his opponent.
and no problems here either, nan, skype seems ok too
that was the weird re8, by the way...
explorere has the distinction of the browser that loads more browsers than any other browser:))))
and fireworks, now must rush, breakfast then carpet bowling, quick lunch then out to play bridge
be back at flip
yay flosey!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !
huzzah for flosey, and poof for me
well done flosey

congrats, flosey
ty sue and Trif and nono, and nan, enjoy the grid
and I am off as well, time to go outside and enjoy this beautiful day!!
you all must use google chrome..resistance is futile...you will be assimilated....
off to the shower - bbl
bye sue
tc suze
oh wow. not sure if Haz is here, but im afraid her beloved George has just been arrested here in DC!
a different clue for the we8, plz
sorry re 8 which was clued before
what's his cr5 eva.. being too handsome?
yes Eva, Molly is on her way to bail him out
taking part in some sort of protest it seems
he was leading a protest in front of the Sudanese embassy
well that kind of messes up his meeting with obama then
maybe obama will post bail?
aww, his daddy got arrested too. along with some congressmen, human rights leaders, MLK3
re 8/40
we8=we 4/8 in a more genereal description
it was clued earlier bichon
re + spanish aunt + cons + double vowel
I know, but I don't get it
get me a spanish aunt quick!
if you have the re 5 before it, add a cons and double vowel
tyvm Nono
don't get the we 8

does anyone have an icon clue?
Icon of the day is no more. Sprite announced that due to lack of interest, she was going to stop doing it.
i'm kind of okay with that..
I know jilli loved it.. but I prefer to see peoples creativeness on their own
Me too Ru
I could see doing it once a month maybe, but every day was more work than people wanted to fool with.
it is now time,yes it is!!,for the staggeringly popular,much requested,crossys tidbit of the day!!!!
The musical Cats was based on a book of poems by T.S. Eliot titled Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats.
hi again
I think that one might be pretty well known around these parts. This is a room full of cat lovers.
And book lovers.
Indeed, Molly.
<-- q.e.d.
hi all
Erda goes all Latin on us. : ) Hi JMC
i never took latin so have been scratching my head
too lazy to google
QED stands for "quod erat demonstrandum" which means "as was to be expected."
... quod erat demenstandum ... (ending is wrong) ... that which was sought has been shown
The musical Cats was based on a book of poems by T.S. Eliot titled Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats. Read the full text here: http://www.mentalfloss.com/amazingfact generator/?p=933#2001#ixzz1pIV1O5Og --brought to you by mental_floss!

... sorry ... too many old geometry classes where you had to prove Euclid
ah i slept through geometry
stats for the fourth column C please
ce 5/12
i do not mind when people use Q.E.D, what drives me mental is the term "at the end of the day" just buzz words that generally come from people who are about to squash you financially
ty amelu and wb -- i haven't seen you in a while
... how do you learn to build a logical argument without Euclid? ... you lawyers
you can be logical without euclid--he wasn't the only person in history to use reason
just manipulation of the language,dueling with words
reminds me of my son's elementary school science teacher who basically said that any time you use reason you were doing science
... butthe Elements is still the best example of the logical development of an argument
yw! :o) Life's been keeping me busy lately, jmc, but in a good way...
do tell amelu!
... let us shoot all elementary school science teachers
she was okay i just thought she was overstating her case
the kids are actually approaching "getting their lives in order" and the grandkids have been filling in the rest of the time, LOL!
grandkids can be a good way to spend time
I just got a virus/trojan horse alert when I signed on to Babanon. Anyone else had problems?
lost in the m's following the muddy ones -- any help there?
between the 4, they keep us all busy, no doubt.
it did that for while for lickety but it turned out to be a false alarm. try cleaning it first and see
foggish and gentleman
sorry, nan, foggish and gentleman are the ones I have after that... oh, and tightwad.
change the middle letter from the mud
ty for the foggish one - had the gentleman
I hope its a false alarm but my antivirus had a specific name/identity for the whatever it was. I've had weird stuff happen there before tho never a virus.
... nan ... did you get the mi4/5 which follows the mud ... just change the final vowel and then there are a few builders
there is a 6-7 before that, though, that I haven't found
and then a cheap guy too
scrooge even
... builders off the mi4/5 ... comparative and superlative
oh - 2 more muddy ones! - ty
Question for anybody. Has lickety stopped Babble Expert?
His wife has
lickety is temporarily out of the picture so no lists--sometimes mr p has sub for him--i don't understand how babble expert interacts
She did it for a while, then went away
From what I have read, Lickety is no longer involved in Expert or the list. His wife has taken that over and she is off the hook for an undetermined length of time.
she dropped by saying she was not going to be around her computer for a while but would come back eventually
"eventually" -- that's ever so reassuring...
we shall have to use our own grey matter:)
Is there ary equivalent to lickety?
you know they were doing it from a generous place. . . any way jacula and others usually have lists
Such is the problem when only one person generates a program. If they are unavailable, no program.
usually volleymomdee
negativeneil frequently
those are the places i would look for a list
Speaking of negativeneil -- where is he??
hello all - waaaay back brandyjack used to generate a list to babanon - but stopped when lickety really got going
Dee's list here: http://tinyurl.com/lx5lon
There was an um...altercation...about whose list should be used. Haven't seen Neil around since then.
Hootowl's list is very good; not all in one fell swoop...
Yes, Hoot and several others copy lists into their profiles and add the spaces.
Molly, nice use of tact. ;o) (altercation)
missing a qu 7 -- have odder, the questioner and the questions - missing?
there is a second question one
besides the questioner and the questions?
no,i have the odd one,and the 2 involving questions
there is another that either precedes or follows the 2 question ones
ahh 3 involving quiestions

... re plus the cheapskate then lose the final consonent
got it - thank you. This grid seems extra twisty today. :)
allrighty, american babblers, i need advice/suggestions! thanks to our wonderfully early start of spring, my allergies are ALREADY kicking up. in the past i have used claratin, zyrtec, and allegra, but none of them have REALLY worked. any recommendations??
you need to get a NetiPot. it's a nasal rinse.
... burn every plant within a thousand miles ... or buy lots of kleenex ... that's my plan ...
lol
are u near a cvs store?
Netti pot is wonderful...Netti and mucinex works for me
WalMart has both
ivesy, yes
Eva: During WW II in Europe, all allergies stopped. Why? Because peoples' minds were occupied with more important things, such as: "Will I be dead tomorrow?" So, now we know where the trigger is. I keep saying to myself that I have NO allergies and it works!
hrm. not sure if ive tried mucinex. might hafta pick some up.
I still take some meds for allergies but the sinus rinse has greatly reduced my headaches.
mind is a powerful thing Erda
erda, if only. unfortunately, my alternatingly stuffy/running nose, constant sneezing, dry eyes, and sore throat all tell me otherwise.
Oh yes, that it is!!!
Well, Eva, you gave up before even trying!
i got there brand of allergy relief.. take one tab a day stopped all symptoms....
I use the netti pot as soon as I start to feel the throbbing begin and pop 1200 mg of mucinex..repeat as needed
oh, i tried allright. for years i told myself i didnt have them, and for years, i just felt miserable! now ive just come to terms with it + want to medicate so i can enjoy the lovely outdoors. :)
oh crapppola lunch over back to work ta ta
Try something harmless, such as camomile tea
se 7/32 ?
never tried a netti pot, though i have heard lots of praise for them. i know it will clear out my sinuses, but will it help with my other symptoms too?
it couldn't hurt to try!!
I don't think it will help the runny nose as the netti pot promotes draining, but it can't hurt to try I guess
I think it means 'in ranks' se +two const. +myself + Mr.. the talking horse I am rubbish at cluing!!
the runny nose might lessen if you get rid of the pollen in your sinuses every night
thats true suz
I found that camomile tea works in many cases, even when it makes absolutely no sense...
great clue deeha... thanks
does it FEEL weird? i have issues with water near my face...heh
it's worth a try! I thought my doc was crazy wanting me to do it. now I swear by it!
follow the directions and you should have no problem...remember to keep your mouth open
at first but then you get used to it. I thought it was so gross in the beginning. but the relief is worth it
true, true, sea!
I wouldn't try it for years and a little old lady kept suggesting it to me as her daughter has multiple health issues...now I swear by it
I feel it wards off sinus infections and that is well worth it to me
im minorly terrified of it, but i might give it t try. id much prefer to not have to take pills...
I think it does sea. I haven't had a sinus infection in 2 years that I've been using it
I am not a big fan of pills either Eva, but the mucinex makes me start draining within a half hour and feel soooo much better
*!* ta da *!*
any clue wanted before I leave?
lol,nice to see you as well cybernan:)
re 6/18 ??
congrats nan
to go up again

oh,you finished:)) i thought you were making a grand entrance hehe

i still need that 1,i have the 8/55

Evening Babblers. Rainy and dreary here in Dublin tonight, on the Eve of St Patrick's Day - hope it's a bit nicer tomorrow for all the shenanigans! Anyone got a list, I am 83/107 and facing a wall. .
... volley does
Thanks Doseffing :)
... must be off ... barkeep! Success for everyone! ... ... be seeing you ...
second ar 6/18 ??
Eva if you are still here, have to tell you, son in law just called me...sounds horrible and is on his way to buy a netti pot
♣ And may all your shenanigans be blessed ♣
does everyone here have my cold? Sorry I infected you. Must have sneezed on my keyboard.
Gesundheit!
everyone is suffering from allergies and sinus problems here kap
Oh. I have a chest cold.
I forgot to get the Vick's Vapo-rub to smear on my feet.
You're supposed to smear it on your feet and then put your socks on and it helps your cough.
I thought you were supposed to put it on your chest
You would think so, hah?
Apparently coughs originate in cold feet.
Hey Sea Spray...Lisa Rinna????????????
neti pots for everyone!
you get a netipot -- and YOU get a netipot!
and YOU GET A NETI POT!
I've never used one of those.
i havent either, kaplan. but i think i may be picking one up tonight
I remember with newborns they recommended a saline solution- so it must be the same thing.
"They" being the authorities we all know about- this time the medical authorities.
I have the chest cold too Kap. My son and I have had it for a week now. And hell yeah to Vicks on the feet.
Does it get worse?
I can't tell if it's just the opening act of a full flu performance.
It's stayed about the same. The cool mist at night really helps a lot.
Did you get really spacy and dissociated- I mean more than usual?
sorry had a phone call...Kap I am not a fan of Lisa Rinna and DOL's is getting crappy....I am lucky if I watch it one or 2 days a week
I was falling asleep earlier and I felt like I really understood the differences in consciousness from my soul to my waking self
It was weird.
I HATE Lisa Rinna, and feel like they're going back to the 80's. Renaming it "Days of Our Lips."
LOL Well I didn't want to be quite so blunt in case you loved her, but yeah can't stand her lol @ lips
<---Also CAN'T STAND Lisa Rinna
Well who does like her then? besides her husband
So there's the self that you are in the world, and that other people know and relate to, then there is your inner narrative that may not be fully revealed to others, then there is your Self that exists beyond you that is the same self you were as an infant
The thing is, I really felt those things. No one likes Lisa Rinna.
From the spiritual to the mundane in one easy trip...
Like Sand through an Hourglass,
so our the Days of our Lips...
I am gonna think of that everytime I hear that now lol
sammysmom, did you get the ar6? it's more of a talent for painting and such (???)
Who would want lips like that?
The better to kiss you, my dear.
ewww
I guess they lips serve to distract from the complete lack of talent.
I really disliked her on DWTS
So anyway, as I was falling asleep, I felt like I really understood the mind-body problem...
and that's how I knew I was ill.
I was waiting for the punchline. Thanks, Kaplan. :)
In between sleep and awake is a cool state of consciousness
are you feeling better now?
All of the great philosphical breakthroughs were made by people with chestcolds.
Lightheaded. Teenage daughter not talking to us. Falling apart over SAT's and perception of parental indifference
oh no and a cold to boot?
There was a French writer, I think it wass, who kept trying to devise a system rouse himself from that before-sleep state so he could write down what was in his mind
I don't think it worked.
So, back to the soaps.
do you watch more than one kap?
hiccup...oops excuse me!
Only Days.
me too
((((MPitt))) How are you?
Hi Molly....pretty good...husband's lung cancer has appeared again started second chemo of Topotecan for another 6 months
How awful...
Continued blessings to you both MPitt. I know you are fighting the good fight.
MPitt a friend of mine has stage 4 melona, went to his lungs, chemo did not help him at all, he opted for a new procedure . Not totally sure how it works, but he was an out patient and they went in and froze or zapped the tumors, a month later one was completely gone and the other is scar tissue
yes and we will never lose hope first he only had 2-4 months and that was in May 2011...still 5-6% make it two years and 1% make it 5 years...new discoveries happen every day maybe tomorrow will be for him!
I hope your family has a lot of good support around you
There have been many new exciting advances with melanoma some amazing strides have been made with that type
he is very happy but they must keep a close watch on him as he said melaona travels so quickly
MPitt, your positive attitude is the best thing you have going for you. Keep the faith.
Strength and prayers to you and your husband MPitt
his is small cell lung extensive with mets to his liver...also had low sodium and a male over 60 so everything possible against him but he is a fighter and so am I and we will never give up. Every day is a miracle if you only open your heart and eyes to it...the world is a picture frame and you get to pick what picture you want to put in your frame!
Hugs to all my fellow babblers...so nice we always have each other to make our various journeys together and comfort one another...Love all around!
(((MPittore))) Prayers and loving thoughts to you and your husband
And right back to you, MPitt.
I just got here. Was at the dentist.
hope all went well Annie
Look at Annie's beautiful choppers!!!!
Yes, it did. thanks Sea.
Am going to the accountant tonight to have tax return prepared...would rather go to the dentist! lol
LOL Sea!
They are both painful experiences.
I get a double dose of that. I was there yesterday to have my boss's return prepared, much more complicated than mine...but not as painful to me!
Name that proper noun...Greek tragic heroine, wife of Jason
I practically do ours myself and something must be wrong with me because I think it's fun....but then I take it to the CPA and he plugs all my numbers in his 'puter and charges me big $'s and I pay him and feel so happy! Must be my twisted sense of doing the right thing! LOL
Medeia
I heard the Medea was controlled by the government
ding ding ding
Same here...get it all together and hand it over. I offered to bring it all in in a shoe box this year and he didn't want to hear it.
Some say Medea is too liberal, however.
A Funky Cold Medea
I heard a medea is going to hit the earth and smash us to smithereens.
Molly was that the name of a song???
But I can't function being paranoid about the Medea.
Kap was it a small medea or large?
HA HA
It was Multimedea.
Will we argonauts?
I'm goig a bit nuts, but must we argonauts?
I eat my steak medea rare..
This is one way to deal with pain.
Medea at the corner?
Laughter is the best medea
Sometimes it truly is.
Who invented comedy?
Oh- the comMEDEAns.
...oops got a little medea at the corner of his mouth...
This is only the beginning.
KAP...ROFL *<:o)
Glad this helps.
Humor is a high level defense mechanism.
Yep...slapstick can fix what ails ya'
I wonder who the first standup comedian was?
I think I'm diverting the issue that I only have 28 words so I flew off into silliness
None is mentioned in the Bible.
oooh Kap...deep thoughts....perhaps it was the serpent?
The serpent was Don Rickles?
ha, ha, ha....
I think I need another nap.
My dad was the first stnadup comedian in my life!
nap sounds good....zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
"Dad humor" is in a class of it's own. BBL
its. NO APOSTROPHE! SORRY!
yes...my kids can verify that one....we used to have a big ole' station wagon ya know the ones with the wooden sides and they must have been a mile long...well he had control of the windows and he used to well....pass g** and then turn off the windows so no one could roll them down and all of the sudden the boys would start yelling eeewww dad di you toot and my husband would get this big grin on his face...yes "dad humor" is special....
good gravy!
Lots of strong thoughts for your husband. I must away!
yes isn't that awful
gotta run just got a call...mom in hospital possible appendix gone flooey...gee wiz...really haywire life I lead...oh well...makes me stronger! Peace out.....
t's and p's MP, that mom is in and out of hospital without any problems.

Hello all! Gave up alcohol for Lent so Babbling is my drug of choice...LOL...*diving into grid*
Nobody could give up Babble for Lent... could they?
not if they are here to answer that
NEVER!! Of course, the past few weeks I have wondered if I was nuts to give up alcohol!!
Haha. Saying... nothing. ;)
And good poing, kje. :P lol
Uhhh... point, even!
unusual to see you in daylight, NN... how goes it
Oh it's not really... I'm often around and online in the daytime for a little, just doing other stuff. And... it goes, anyway. As long as it's still going huh?
How goes it wherever you are, kje?
true... the alternative ain't so hot
Yep. Exactly.
It may be hot if you are sent down below and hi there kje!
doing well... didn'tget much work done today so will have to do some tomorrow... big celebration day for the med students who found out today where they matched for their residencies
hi min!
Hello to my fellow babblers!How is everybody doing today?
Oh yeah? Where do you work and what to you do?
By the way, congratulations to all the finishers! Way to go!
Hi minv, kje and I think I'm meeting NN for the first time!!
I don't think so, Jillyjill? I remember seeing you here in the chog plenty of times... and unless I'm mistaken, exchanging greetings?
hi JJ
I work at UTSW, teach medicine
But I could be mistaken too. It happens.
Haha yeah... NN and JJ.
Wow, kje!
when did we start having ads on bab anon?
It might have been jillibus, but NN does seem familiar...I've been off Babble for a few months...
LOL...nice NN!
Oh? Hmm... I'm sure I've seen you though?
-N, if that's easier? Haha.
OK, that is beyond annoying... whoever did that needs to be shot
No easier than "NN", but easier than the full name, I mean.
Well, either way, nice to be on the chog with you!
Huh, kje?
Oh, the ads? Yeah.
that just started today.... who did that?
Every time I've logged in there to post stats, I get this big banner telling me "This is no joke -- you are the 10,000th visitor". EVERY time?! Yeah, ok. :P
Oh I've seen that ad banner for some time, kje. If that's the same one you're seeing?
And you too, Jillyjill. :)
I haven't seen that banner, but today there is a video to the right of the clues that keeps playing
Oh man. That's even more annoying.
ok, found clues in jacula's profile, will use those... have 31 left
brb
I have now updated my icon with a word clue from the grid

Hello everybody, and with less than an hour to go....HAPPY ST PATRICKS DAY!!!!!
Hey there soodle! Happy St Paddy's to you too! How are things in Ireland?
For the next 24 hours, Jilly, the recession is forgotten,and its PARTY ON!!
Would love to someday be there...even have a 'party piece' ready!!
OMG, Jilly..... whats your party piece?
And of course, Jilly, you ARE aware that there is dispensation from 'given-up-stuff' on Paddys Day?
SEveral actually...I am a singer...County Down, and right now...can't recall so many others...but would definitly be ready if the opportunity ar5/10s..
*Downs a shot of Tullamore*
Hmmm, I know we here get dispensation on meatless Friday's when St Paddy's falls on it...just might have to really be irish tomorrow!!..No WAIT, will stay up to midnight tonight...could really use a shot of Old Bushmills!
Whoo-hoo Molls..... We should start a sing-song with Jilly...
Tapping my feet already!!
Jilly, you ARE Irish, by association! I hereby decree that you may drink your head off for all of March 17th.
LOL!! I drink to that soodle!!
(No such dispensaton needed for the lovely Ms L, who is lowering the Tullamore Dew as I type.....)
And actually have irish blood to boot!
♪ A nation once again ♪
:)
Diddley Eye Die Die...
Oh, I have forgotten how lovely the chog can be...I have missed it so!
The weather forecast for tomorrow is cold and rain! So goosebumps will abound tomorrow. And Jilly, its lovely to see you back.
*hugs* to all, especially soodle!
:-)
But the day fell on a Saturday! The whole Nation will be sotted.
Meanwhile, the pub shirt I ordered (and paid extra shipping for to get it here on time) went to my old work address, so no pub shirt for St. Patrick's Day. *cries in beer*
Pish.... Tuesday, Thursday, Sunday... it matters not a whit! To further fuel the drink-fest, Ireland are playing England in the rugby tomorrow.....
We have an irish city in Montana, Butte. Hubby from there and I lived there 3 years...they have a huge St Paddy's day celebration...and the town will be sotted as well!
17 q's!! hey , afternoon everyone
Aye, I forgot. It's a National Holiday in the auld sod.
Same boat molly, I lost 81 pounds last year and have nothing to wear tomorrow, green eye shadow and underwear it must be!
Jilly, how do you phonetically pronounce Butte?
Holy crap, 81 pounds?
Like cute Soodle.
I have plenty of other things to wear, but this was a personalized pub shirt with my family of origin name on it. Blargh.
Thanks Molly. And I echo your astonishment....81lbs????
Long 'u" like beauty
Congratulations on your hard word Jilly.
I go over for the Gaelic Society's fesival in August, more celebration, less idiots getting sotted!
Or your hard work
Yep, size 20 to size 8...yay!!
Jilly, you must be half the woman you used to be!
LOL, yep and closet a lot emptier!
<---------- Stands back in amazement. Less than half the woman. Wow, Jilly. Well done. As a size 8 you probably look FAB in underwear and green eyeshadow!
Our Jilly is just a wee slice of the lass she used to be.
all these slim hotties around crossy:))
Crossy! ;)
Hiya Cross, and happy Paddy's day to ya (begob an begorrah)
howdy jilly and soodles,green beer be on tap at the pub soon
Jilly, a friend of mine lost a similar amount of weight. In awe, I asked her how she did it. She calmly looked me in the eye and said,' I shut my gob and got off my arse'. Not rocket science. :-(
Eat less, move more....lol
Just friended you on FB soodle...
Just accepted you, Jilly :-)
Actually went thru a naturopath and did the HCG injections...
ahh skin is in the grid;)
thanks! Now you can go look through photos soodle
Jilly - I have no idea what a naturopath is, or what HCG injections are.. could you elaborate, please? (thinking Soodle has found an easy way to get skinny..._
Not so easy and very controversial but I was at the end of my rope! It's the pregnancy hormone (I had no hotflashes when on injections). You are on 500 calories/day during program. Very regimented. 27 day program. And a naturopath is a holistic practioner. Did a lot of research and had a buddy to do it with.
I've never gotten why the injections are involved. Anyone would lose tons of weight on only 500 calories a day.
Wait a minute, back up The Soul Train. You lost 81 pounds in 27 days???
The studies show that, unlike without injections, you lose muscle, not fat. And I truly was not hungry...cravings, but not hunger
Nope, did four 27 day sessions to get the 81 off.
Wow... Just looking at the photos of the incredible shrinking Jilly. Absolutely lovely, Jill -)
With 6-8 week maintenance sessions in between.
Thanks Soodle...now to keep it off!
My fear about those sort of weight loss programmes is that once one goes back to 'normal' eating, you pile the weight back on. Keep up the maintenance sessions, Jilly, and well done again.
Okay, probably fishy but I cannot seem to find the em4/8...monkeying has not worked..clue please?
i lost 30 lbs running up and down stairs at the library lol... also on byetta for diabeties, curbs your hunger
I think I'm more like Soodle's friend. Eat less, exercise more. It's the age old, proven way.
Hi Ivesey :-)
hi soodle, hello all .
em 4: the name of band that sang the song "Unbelievable" plus snake letter jillyjill.
I sort have found the balance and know what I can and can't eat. When I need a munch, I have some of my homemade trail mix..sugarless dried fruit and nuts.
Hi Min :-)
sounds like a nice snack jilly.. nuts are good for you.
Hello Soodle! How are you doing? Didn't see your entrance.
Got it finally, thanks minv..
yw
calling it a nite for this one.. tc all..
Niters ivesy!
Goodbye ivesy3! I will see you tomorrow in the chog maybe
Well, going to take a break for dinner...hubby made clam chowder! BB later...
Goodbye Jillyjill! I'll see you later. Enjoy the clam chowder
Bye Jilly, and enjoy your dispensation!
Thanks minv and soodle...*poof*
hi again all!
Hello uusue2! How are you doing? Welcome to the chat log
I am good, min, how are you?
<---Wonders how one removes the sugar from fruit : O
I am doing well. My students will start making their planets tomorrow for their space laboratory.Had to change it from a planetarium to a laboratory. I spent $.00 for this project
Meant to say that I spent $50.00 to do this Science project.
oh, nice! I see you have a planet as your icon as well - I am guessing Uranus?
I think so,but now I have an icon clue as my icon.Refresh it
ah, nice, and appropriate!
Aha! One rather inebriated 6ft 5ins leprechaun has just come home. Two down, one to go, and all my chicks will be under the one roof again. :-)
hi, soodle!
lol blind drunk leprechaun chicks with green beer stains all over
and hi crossy!
Hi Sue. I got distracted by the phone the other night, just as you were describing horrible letters still coming. Hang in there! IT WILL GET BETTER!!
oh, I sent them on to my lawyer, I am sure nothing will come of any of them.
and I did my taxes this morning, will get a nice tidy sum back, but not so much that I have to tell the bankruptcy trustee about it (which means I actually get to keep it)
and thanks, soodle, you are a sweetheart :-)
Sue, one of my mantras (apart from Thoughts Become Things, and Onwards and Upwards) is You Can't Get Blood From A Stone. If you haven't got it, they can't take it from you.
well, exactly.
I'm not joking... whenever I DO shuffle off this mortal coil, I'm gonna need a mighty big tombstone to inscribe all my words of wisdom on.. LOL
or very teeny print...
Nah, Sue, Big and Bold. Like me!!!
:-)
Oh Gawd, flicking through the channels here, and have just happened across Beaches. Tissues at the ready.....
beaches?
Bette Midler and Barbara Hershey.... one of the ultimate chick-flicks...
ah.
*comes in singing* "You Are the Wind Beneath My Wings"
LOL!!
Good evening!

Wah wah wah... pass me the kleenex

Hiya Car :-)
evening. all
Hi Soodle!
Hello Uneaixoise! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid
(just realized Sprite is not here! Oops!)
watching my boy advance to the semi-final!!
Greetings to my wee leprechauns!
Scrabs!!! Hello!
begorra!!
Erin go braless!
how are things in bunny land??
*time out--must remove bra, Car said so*
Hello Scrabbler!How are you doing? Welcome to the puzzle
:-)
Slainte scrabs!
I am much better now that I am braless.
Wheeee!
Welcome to Babble...After Hours...for the Ladies!!!!
WooT!!
I had a nice day--played tennis for an hr, walked from friend's home to local bakery for lunch, talked for a long time and tried to solve her problems, walked back, played with her dogs + old cat.
I am glad you had a nice day Scrabs!
sounds great, scrabs
Then I came home, filled all of the bird feeders, sat out under the trees and read a book. Very nice.
Mine got considerably better when I got home from work!
Yep, work can interfere with life.
scrabs --my front birdfeeder is very multicultural but the cardinals have totally staked out the one in back LOL
I enjoy just sitting in the yard and watching the birds, chipmunks + squirrels.
occasional squirrel butts in though
Plus hubby made the best clam chowder for dinner...so yummy...rivals the clam chowder I used to eat at the Dorns in Morro Bay California!
squirrel butts?
I have not seen cardinals here in about 2 yrs. I even bought a tray feeder just for them.
yum, jilly!!
i have a LOT of cardinals!
The other day I walked out under the trees, heard some rustling in the branches above me and a hawk appeared and flew off. Scary.
we have a LOT of hawks around now
Of course, butter and 1/2 and 1/2 can't hurt anything...
yeah, we have redtails
Just your arteries, Jill, LOL.
Only canadian geese at this time of year here!
aahh, monatna
*montana -- sorry LOL
Yep! Spring yet off...winter still trying it's best...
Do you know something odd? I never noticed birds when I was a kid. And as an adult I LOVE birds...and all wildlife.
Ugh. Have to run. Hope to be back in a bit. {{hugs}} to all!!!!
Bye Car
bye car!
later car.ee
me either, scrabs, but Frank is very much into all kinds of nature, so I am noticing all of it a lot more
Sue, did you finish grading exams?
Hey everybody... got distracted by FB there. Scrabbs, for heavens sake, will you please put your underwear back on... you are distracting me from the grid....
later car
I have a shirt and fleece pullover on, so I am decent.
I did, scrabs, but I haven't recorded them yet as some are still in my office
LOL
I am seeing lots of words that I missed this morning.
<---Wonders why braless Scrabs is distracting Soodle from the grid. Hmmm.
I think the image is making her ill.
Now, now, no self bashing allowed.
Anybody watching NCAA basketball?
nope, not much of a sports fan, I'm afraid
Nope, U of MT out first round, kinda lost interest
watching tennis!!
Our local team, St Bonaventure, a small school with 2000 students, almost beat Florida St but couldn't do it.
well, good for them for getting close, scrabs!
Phone---sister got her new Subaru Outback.
nice!! I used to have a Subaru Impreza and liked it very much.
I have had my Forester for 7 yrs and have 146K miles. I keep my cars til they die.
Oh the joys of a new car..... Oh the smell of a new car, the excitement, the promises to keep the tyres inflated correctly, to keep the interior clean and shiny, the vows not to allow anybody smoke, curse, fart or otherwise sully the interior. I used to love getting a new car...
I don't think I will ever buy a new car again, just pre-owned.
mmm, I worry about not knowing the car's history...prefer new ones
My ex used to trade in our year old car for a brand new model every year. (Come to think of it, he eventually did the same with his wife..). But it was a time of high excitement, taking ownership of a brand new car.
We have left our soda bread, honey, and Irish whiskey out for the wee folk. In return, they leave us gold coins. : )
do they now, Molly?
So expensive though. Well, I will decide when the time comes. Even better would be to save money and pay cash for a car.
It's a family tradition, started when the kids were small. : )
true - I am hoping to buy a new car this winter when my retirement money comes in (I'll have to pay cash). Should be getting enough from vacation and sick leave payout.
can anyone help me please with the se6/21 cannot monkey it thanks
Yay Sue!
at that point my car will be 10 years old
Impressive Sue!
don't have it, speed
se 6/21 - don't tell anyone it's a se 6
evening all
Psst, speed, I will tell you a se6, don't tell anyone else!
Hello Babble cr4/9! I de4/5 it necessary to do a story of clues since there is no list. Many years ago, Mi6/21 O.J. Simpson got ar6/18ed for committing a cr5/14. He was accused of murdering Ronald Goldman&Nicole Simpson. Nicole was his wife who was very mi 5/12able with him. A trial was re7/40d and he was acquitted and set fr4/7. The jurors fr 5/18 him because they didn't think he was guilty of the murders. In the court room, there were cr 5/12 of outrage from Ronald Goldman's family & Nicole Simpson's family. Personally, I believe he was guilty and O.J. should have been fr 5/18 for the murders. It ir 4/4 me he got away with it. But only O.J. knows what really happened and he is keeping it a se6/21 from the re4/4 of the world. Husband wants the computer. He is ti4/4d of waiting for the laptop. I fr 4/7 what he will do if I do not give the computer to him. I am going to be a ri5/10 and ri 4/4 out of this seat and go watch the movie "We 4/8 Side Story. Goodnight all! I'll see you all tomorrow.

shy don't we use sc5/20 as our start?
oh, nevermind
lol jes, I got it:)
well the sc5 is one of my most favorite words

Ok, clue for the re8/55 please
I wish
anyone purchase a new laptop recently? i think mine is starting to fail, went to compare new ones and now am completely kerfuffled - thought i wanted basic, but boy-oh-boy, the processors in some of the new ones! (will be retiring this macbook)
Welki! Thank you for naughtying the place up a bit!
I'm on my second Toshiba laptop and love it.
<---Does not participate in Mac
i like apple products, but for the money, i don't use the macbook to its capacity
if you're retiring a macbook, why not a new one? mine is aging, and my daughter has this nifty little macair that i used last nite ... cute
bruce just got a droid xyboard (by "just" I mean today) and is totally keen on it.
oh. there is the answer to that... i do understand... i know i don't either
ru, email?
not quite a laptop, but it does about anything a laptop does, minus the keyboard.
st5/18 pls
yes. I have it blue.. I'll send you something
guess i'll have to just go in, buy something and not look back :)
it's the flower girl's responsibility to st*** rose petals along the aisle
22 left and getting tired of this grid and just plain tired. but will tough it out
ty welki
macair - no cd/dvd, no usb - very very basic (but yes, very cool)
one problem with macs is no babble expert... but right now that doesn't seem to be an issue
anyway, i'm off for the night - 'see' you tomorrow, good people

g'night, ruru

And no usb port? That really limits you. But everyone has their "function needs".
yes! i am done. good night all (unless a clue is needed?)
Night Dorens, sweet dreams.
yay dorens!
could you clue the ai6/18 that i'm missing? i have 2 of the 3...

5 years ago i would be drunk by now

MIssing lickety's list tonight with all these qu's, have 3 left...sheesh...
That fr5,20 is an odd word.

sorrry forgot i was here.. any one needs clues still?

Whew!! flashy thingies!!
two crossed letters?
wtg Jilly
Thanks wht..
I am going blind on the re5,12.
crooked letters sorry
btw shirlock, I'm trying to think of a good clue
Ooops. That is the ri5,12.
se + two crooked letters + i tr*** to find a better clu
ahhh
That's how blind I have gotten.
someone who does ri4/5 above it
nm. Just saw it. Got the plural tool
Sailed through some of this grid but the r's and q's were bloody murder
how are you tonight cos?
i'm ok. annoyed yet excited lol. how ru?
Been off babble for awhile and enjoying coming back and reconnecting!
is it as awesome as you remember? :)
Babblers are the besties!!
Haven't had the courage to check rankings.... :(
ro 5/16?
i agree. they always cheer me up
ro + high tile + two vowels
clue for the re6,21 before what you need.
ty
re + mi4
same as the de6/24 but change from d to r
so the qu tile counts as 2 letters in a word?
better clue cos....guess I'm rusty...lol
Yep Maggie!
Yes, maggie. It is done to confuse Babblers.
i love that clue jill
maggie: its tricky when the grid also has an U next to the qu tile
So does the re6,21 mean to pinch a penny again?
LOL...guess so wht
lol.. scrooge's favorite word
hmm cos, tricky=maddening!!
oh its worse if the tile is Qu, then U, then E lol
Not sure if I'll make the flip...*propping eyelids open*
hm coffee for jill
Oh, but I wanna sleep at some point....
thats why im avoiding the diet mt. dew in the fridge
Zipedee doo dah drink!

Watcing basketball...that'll help...
i have "the middle" on
si5,10. Yes si5, I need the other one.
do u have si + 3 vowels?
or si + 2 crooked letters + vowel
ugh i meant si + letter + 2 vowels sorry
cos, it was the first one you clued.
I know it is bad when I can't find words like that.
10 left and they all start with t
te, ti or tr?....you have my sympathy!
my last 10 were T words too
my very last one was a tr4 lol how sad
my last 10 were mostly qu...but had missed an ar and a ri..
whoops, actually my last was the ro
so still sort of a qu...
pretty much
