Now what to do with the remaining 16 hours.
yay, lbd and kap!!
Really, we should ask for another grid.
i hate small grids on the weekends, especially rainy weekends. :-(
this was an hors d'oeuvre grid only . . .
There must be one out there. He can take it from the next decade. We won't even know.
lol kaplan,i say the same thing with those lil blue pills...mmm.up to 24 hours eh?...errr..well what do i do with the other 23 hours and 55 minutes?:))
What if we sign a petition.
Or Occupy Babble.
i think we already occupy babble
True.
do not get me started on the occupiers
I guess I'll have to put the wet clothes in the dryer.
probably a good idea, kap
i'm with kap - a grid from 2022 wouldn't hurt anyone
lol,i have 22 hours left,may as well hang my towels also..;)
this is why i asked dr_g for a 10x10 monthly grid to run along with the daily grid.you know something with 3000 words or so

i wish weekend grids are bigger
with less repeating vowels!
and it is now time for crossy,s tidbit of the day!!!
The indentation at the bottom of a wine bottle is called a punt.
Punt
indeed
I like that word! Why is it called that Crossy! Did someone kick it in?
i do not know,i DO know its original design was to catch sediments,but now they make em nice and deep to save on how much wine you actually get
Cheap bastards!!!! LOL!
you get a 1 litre bottle,add a deep punt and you end up with 450 mil lol
Good morning Crossy! How are you? I really liked that bacon bowl Carolyn shared....I will eat your green stuff for you!
lol i am fine car,and you are welcome to the garnish:)
Any plans this weekend?
mj.i.l visit on sunday,eye appt with eye dr on monday and as much laundry as i can stand doing
m.i.l
<---- slips in her laundry with Crossy's....
It is a gray, gloomy day here. I lost my iphone yesterday and I am feeling very sad. I guess I will head to the AT&T store to put my old phone back on again....
price of t-shirts and jeans at wal-mart,it is now almost cheaper to burn everything once a month and start fresh than all the laundromat money and soap
you can still pind you i-phone car...
find
Thank God, though...my boys outgrow their clothes so quickly...it is nice to be able to replace them without breaking the bank each time.
if it is a newer one with gps,there are sites that can track your phone..as long as it still has a charge
It is just a freaky thing that i lost it in the first place Crossy...doesn't make sense...it literally vanished. I have gutted the car, all my pockets, purse, etc. Retraced my few steps at the mall and it was nowhere. Spoke to the store security and the mall security....they have not called.
http://www.apple.com/iphone/built-in-a pps/find-my-iphone.html
use that car
fw
it is an older version, but it was a hand-me-down that I had gotten for free. There is no way I can buy a new one. Don't laugh, but my favorite thing about it was my Weight Watchers app. I used it constantly.
I would have had to set that up on the phone while I still had it.
ahh:((
well time for a new i-phone 4gs
Wait...there may be a way.....
Nope. :(
There is no way I can buy one Crossy.

I hope her diposition is improved. lol
Hey Mom....we don't have to call each other today. I just told you all my news. I didn't win MegaMilliona, Cha Cha ids doing better and I'm babbling instead of studying, haha

Hi soodie! Mom: Steve is studying...unlike me....I am "pretending" to study! haha
Name sound familiar?
Indeed it does! I have had several lovely boating trips down it!!
Many Babblers are pretending to do something
I must go back to Ireland someday.
I had really high hopes that it was Molly who won the mega-millions in the Lottery.
that's right, you were going to buy the Abbey
so we could all visit
Maybe some day....
maybe we can visit anyway.
Like I keep saying... You would be as welcome as the flowers in Spring! :-)
Yikes! ey 8! hmmm....
... compund ... visual things plus what's in your mouth
ty Soodle. love ya. : )
Oh! so simple. ty Dose
just added something new to my bucket list..i want to buy a horse and name it "Oscar takes the lead" and enter it in horse races;)
what brought that on?
dunno,just sounds like a lark
... say goodbye to your retirement fund ...
lol right Dose
yes,, horse racing is a money drain
you kidding,Canada,s new retirement age is now 67..i will drop dead at work before i can retire
Crossy, I know why they put the punts in the wine bottles.
yes,for rotational purposes as well..i know
Keep the faith Crossy, life can surprise you.
<---Still believes there is a lottery jackpot in her very near future. : )
to turn the champagne bottles.
hope so Molly
... ah yes ... but that doesn't cut in until 2020 ... and it used to be 70 anyways ... .. and when the corporate world is laying off everyone at 55 ... what is the meaning of retirement age anyways
i wonder if they can put push handles and wheels on my desk....
why?
dose,i do not make the cut off point.mine will be 67
and it was 65
... sorry ... I;ve got a kid who wants to go to law school ... I'm pushing 70 before I get to start to think about it
the punts are put in the bottles to reinforce the strength of the glass
the punts are there so you can whack people over the head with punts:)
I never heard that before Ruru.
it was created so that champagne could be made
I always heard Dom Perignon invented them to turn the bottles.
well lets get the final word on this...
As they lay on their sides.
I would never dispute Ruru
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wine_bott le
no so that the bottles woudn't explode.. the grooves in the champagne bottles are useful for rotating them
there it is
... I wonder if the glass blowing process has something to do with it ... you've got to rotate the bottle to get a symetric shape
no, it has to to with precipitating out the sediment.
here you go,everything you wish to know on punts....
A punt, also known as a kick-up, refers to the dimple at the bottom of a wine bottle. There is no consensus explanation for its purpose. The more commonly cited explanations include:[1] It is a historical remnant from the era when wine bottles were free blown using a blowpipe and pontil. This technique leaves a punt mark on the base of the bottle; by indenting the point where the pontil is attached, this scar would not scratch the table or make the bottle unstable. It had the function of making the bottle less likely to topple over—a bottle designed with a flat bottom only needs a small imperfection to make it unstable—the dimple historically allowed for a larger margin of error. It consolidates sediment deposits in a thick ring at the bottom of the bottle, preventing much/most of it from being poured into the glass;[11] It increases the strength of the bottle, allowing it to hold the high pressure of sparkling wine/champagne. It provides a grip for riddling a bottle of sparkling wine manually in the traditional champagne production process. It consumes some volume of the bottle, allowing the bottle to be larger for the same amount of wine, which may impress the purchaser.[12] Taverns had a steel pin set vertically in the bar. The empty bottle would be thrust bottom-end down onto this pin, puncturing a hole in the top of the punt, guaranteeing the bottle could not be refilled [folklore]. Prevents the bottle from resonating as easily, decreasing the likelihood of shattering during transportation. Allows bottles to be more easily stacked end to end.[12] Bottles could be stacked in cargo holds on ships without rolling around and breaking. Punts are also used to help pour the wine, providing a grip for the thumb on the bottom bottle for easy pouring.
that too.. but it's primarily for reinforcing the strength of the bottle
as i said, I would never dispute Ruru. lol
ty Crossy
... I'll take your word for it ... ... oh well ... must go do all those husbandly weekend things ... ... later days
bye Dose
so,we are all correct
can anyone please help me with the re6,18 please
Yay!!!
re+ after 9+vowel
FW!
thanks
ya for kje!
YAY!!! KJE!
people using the punt to pour is mostly for show.
I really kind of hate this grid
I agree Ruru
but sediment is a real purpose for it as well
am can clue if needed hego.crossy is all done:)))
I'm mostly interested in the drinking part.
me too
!YAY!!! for Crossy!!!!
and Rur!!!!
no punts in my vodka bottles,so no worries:)))
me too regarding drinking ..
Oh, you meant the wine.
well yay for that too. : 0
I finished last night.. it was a quickie
well good to see you, then.
a rare treat
for me wine is for cooking and teething children.if i want a drink it better be able to also strip paint,start a car sterilize counter tops and clean wounds:)
well.. then you're having the wrong wine crossy..lol
I'll say!
although in the hinterlands of Canada..I'm betting you don't have access to decent stuff
I only drink 3 things. Water, tea and wine.
ugh...all these ts left
I think he does now.
sorry giving me wine is like feeding a pig a strawberry:)
always lots of t's.
coffee, wine, water, in that order
very good ru
sorta of a framboars crossy?
but you are at the source Ruru.
oh .. that's raspberrie
I am at the source.. and love it here
can't remember strawberry in french
I have visited there. Shanny lived in San Fran for a long time.
i do not need a drink with essances,notes,and underlying sublties and vague finishes.my drinks start and finish the same way..with a searing cautarizing burn:))
La strawber-ee lol
fraise du bois?
hi foks (fraise)
lol shan
oui.. that's it
Hi Welki!!!
hi welki
fraise du bois is wood strawberry I think though
wild ones maybe?
oui
little ones
don't think i've ever seen fraise des bois - here, for instance, the package of strawberries simply says "fraises"
oh.. that's it fraises
no they are hard to find
so crossy fraise du boar.. how's that
lolol
oh wild pig berries!
I like wood strawberries.. our farmer's market gets them
lucky you
fraises du marcassin
have never heard of them, but i guess that's where fraise des bois would come from :)
ah! california!!!
they're earthier tasting that regular strawberries.
Ruru's area is a gourmet heaven.
du marcassin = from the merchant des bois = from the woods
welki, you never learned that in Brooklyn. lol
Although Brooklyn is now also a gourmet heaven.
had 5 years of french in grade school and 2 in university
but can i speak a word of it anymore? non, non!
Really!!
my one trip to paris cured me of ever trying to speak french again
I am very impressed.
I have frogotten most of my high school French.
<-- wished she'd taken esperanto, simply because it's more fun to say
all i have to do for my cure is to drive through Quebec
It helps reading menus in France, though.
paris the people were snooty about the language in the countryside they appreciated I was trying
smirnoff works in all languages:)))
when i was young, i did fine in montreal, crossy - but that was when dinosaurs roamed the earth and folks were kinder to american kids who at least were trying to speak french
Outside of paris, the people are much nicer.
lol Crossy
i'll never know - will not go back
true
no?
oui
Welki, the south of France is wonderful!
southern california is nice, too :)
someone steal your luggage welki?
Provence is paradise
south dakota would be okay
providence would be divince
and divine
With nice people
<---wants to live in Cassis
: )
nope, ru - just mistreated. left a bitter taste in my gutter mouth :)
and a nice climate.
<--- wants to drink cassis
lolol
oh.. too bad welki.. I enjoyed Paris but most of the people were snooty.. once I met vintners and went to Burgundy.. it was all normal and fine
hey, hego - my daughter's done with her floor training and has been let loose to ply her trade on the masses
Tha's great Welki!!
Good luck to her.
she's doing very well - has up to 6 patients (plus whatever else filters up to their unit when the others are filled)
I need to find some words.
I miss those days, I really do.
<---needs to find a life
Oh, Ruru.
you think YOU need to find a life? i have bones simmering on the stove - for the dogs!
doggy stock?
ROFL
me too
lol,want a life? here have mine! i am too busy for it!
and, on that note, i'm off for a while - enjoy the day, good people!

a crossy tidbit of the day for all you teachers out there....
A college teacher reminds her class of tomorrow's final exam. 'Now class, I won't tolerate any excuses for you not being here tomorrow. I might consider a nuclear attack or a serious personal injury, illness, or a death in your immediate family, but that's it, no other excuses whatsoever!' A smart-ass student in the back of the room raised his hand and asked, 'What would you say if tomorrow I said I was suffering from complete and utter sexual exhaustion?' The entire class is reduced to laughter and snickering. When silence was restored, the teacher smiled knowingly at the student, shook her head and sweetly said, 'Well, I guess you'd have to write the exam with your other hand.'
do you find that after staring at the grid for a fair old while, you're seeing it, but not seeing it....if you see what I mean! ;) lol
lol, crossy,
I thibnk i know what you mean welsh
ROFL...thanks crossy...gotta remember that one!!

hi all need help with changing my icon picture. I transfered pictures from my camera to my computer but cannot seem to get one of the pictures to be my icon
what do you need pickles?
If you hit edit under you picture it gives instructions
Save your pics to your computer, Peri. Then "browse" and upload from your pics file.
i tried that and it did not work
They have to be saved as jpg.
will try again
2 ti5
ok, don't know how to do that Judi re jpg
Most pics automatically save as a .jpg (just a file ending, like .com).
ti5x2 strength of a solution, spelled two ways
don't think that happened. I don't see jpg after the pictures, shouldn't I see that
will check again, bbl
you have to refresh after you upload it
Sometimes I have to close down Babble then re-open it for my icon to change.

Molly, i did bit i was wrong.
Hello everybody :-)
Oh dear. Nobody home. Well, happy Babbling all. I'm off to bed. Enjoy this easy grid. :-)
who took all the good grids???
Anybody notice that when they went to timeline on Fb they get less responses? or is it just me?
i refuse to switch. can't find anything on the pages of people who switched!
so, my guess is, you get fewer responses because people can't find your stuff anymore
You don't have a choice, it will change automatically
well that sucks . . . !
Zuckerberg thinks he rules the world
they keep trying to trick me into changing, like when i get an invitation from a friend to join one of their games, and I look at the invite page, and it says, if you join, we will switch you to Timeline, BWA-HA-HA-HA-HA

he grew up on a farm, has 7 (!) advanced degrees, and keeps reinventing himself - he talked about how he did it (one step at a time).
gee i feel like a piker i only have 2 1/2
yeah, me too, maybe something to do after I retire :-)
*suddenly remembers major paper due tuesday*
i will write when/if i retire
i have a new plot to save the world in the works
we need it, jmc!
i will announce it in babble first (unless npr wants an exclusive)
<---Sits in the dumb corner
How dare NPR scoop Babble???
why molls advanced degrees just means you are a masochist
well th** do have a bigger audience

go jmc!
did i tell you the one about the two men in the bar on top of a high building in Houston?
nooo....
well the one guy was explaining about the amazing updraft beside the building
*comes in and listens to jm*
so they went out on the terrace and the first guy jumps off the building and the updraft pushes him back up and then back on the terrace
so the second guy says "that is amazing. i want to try it" and jumps off the building. . . .
and goes "splat"
the first guy goes back in the bar and the bartender says. . .
*drum roll*
"damn superman you are a mean drunk"
oh!!! LOL - gimme a kryptonite, straight up!
god i never get tired of that joke
:-)
i know one texas joke - ready?
you should hear it with a texas accent
okay welki go
the texan and the oklahoman are standing on a bridge admiring the sights - lets say they're in san antonio, beautiful city
lots of bridges too
they've had a few beers and decide the bridge is as good a place as any to take a whiz
so they unzip, pull out and are relieving themselves, looking over the river
the oklahoman, a big shot, says, "Guddurn, that water's cold"
and the texan, not to be outdone, drawls, "Yup, and deep, too"
:-)
everything is bigger in texas :)
especially egos
my guy is laughing at your joke, jm :)
are there 4 ocular words?
its a goodun
not really - one sort of, two definitey and one not at all
okay then i predict i will find no more ey words
<---Loves a good joke
do you want a clue or two?
glad to make you smile *presumes*
only 7 left and many hours so in no rush
okie
retoe
oopsie
its what you do to ballet slippers! hahaha
what a time for me to check in on the chat with penis jokes
mine was not a penis joke :-P
Perfect example of the kind of words you try once playing this game for a while.
hey ru
mmmm .mmmmm. ribs slow cooking on the bbq, pierogies simmering in butter and onions - helllo, mr. cholesterol!
i am hoping to come out to SF for a meeting in the next few weeks with any luck at all
hi jmc.. I was hoping you were the maryland person who won the 540 million dollar lottery
i'll take the ribs and you can have the pierogies
is SF an abbreviation for calgary? because if it's not, i don't care.
Cool, Ru will meet you in a coffee shop.
really.. don't say you want to meet for coffee...lol
*looks huffy* I live in DC
*Looks huffier* I live in Maryland.
you can only look huffy if you've won 540 million
its your own fault you weren't in calgary when i was visiting it regularly
<-- looks puffy on a good day
as well you might molls
you didn't let me know you were here.
i can look huffy if you suggest i live in the burbs
lets see the last time was 1978
that we didn't know each other then is just a minor detail :)
if you do come JM.. let me know
i will but will you use text?
I think you might have some luck with JMC, Ru. She would actually CALL you on your cell phone. : P
LOL.. never!
i'm thinking you might have better luck with courier pigeon, je
i know some great people in SF. . . a conscientious objector who works for craigslist and three film makers
i could call him if forced
speaking of film = media = photos - how'd the photo shoot for the article go?
but i will have my friends stock up on carrier pigeons just in case
well i got up at 5:30 and waited until 6:45 for them to show up
<---Bets JMC would actually meet up with Ru
haha kje will take that bet molls
*puts her money on molly's side of the board* i agree
i am still trying to meet up with you!
well I"m not driving two hours again unless someone is really there
you mean 'really' there or 'all' there - because you
two hours? is that all? *scoffs*
really need to be clear on that - in case i'm ever in california
LOL
besides don't you have to go to SF for work from time to time?
I seriously doubt any of us are ALL there
that just about describes california to me
sometimes.. not all the time.. I go everywhere in California for work
i have an aunt who lives 2 hours away from SF, in lakeport - they have wineries there, right ru?
okay you go all over california and you are whining about a two hour drive?
Wow, I didn't realize you drove two hours to be stood up Ru. Blargh.
Lakeport is close to me welki
they have wineries.. just not any good ones
i think you have that sentence in reverse: he drove 2 hours to stand up kje! hahaha
there's lots of Meth labs up that way though
no kidding! if you ever are in need of some printing services, let me know - that's their gig
so i've heard - and right next to a volcano - so fireworks one way or another
there used to be a meth lab near my double-wide in asheville
*booom*
it isn't there anymore
*flipping ribs* brb
lol
I couldn't think of a better ending for people who crank that stuff out
i must say it is a factor in my inability to sell the damn thing
No, I think I got the story the right way.
if not for my pacifist leanings i would agree
hey if people want to blow themselves up.. that's fine with me.. as long as they don't harm anyone else
i once got a huge donation from a guy for my center who put us in his will and then blew himself up making bombs
lol.. omg
it was very strange
did the will come in pieces?
hahaha

(pictures Ted Kasinski donating to JMC)
i am almost down to one an hour
Can't find the te6/18 after the te5/14 to save my life. What am i missing?
ugh. hate when i pull something out of the fridge and something else (inevitably) falls out and splats all over the floor.
te+ again + the beginning
but am glad i was saving washing the floor until tomorrow - would have been really ticked off.
as long as it glass doesn't break . . .
haha i would have thought it would be better to splat on a clean floor to be able to use it
no, the glass broke this morning in the bathroom - dropped a perfume bottle onto the counter and the base shattered
*meditates on the concept of washing floors*
blech! perfume everywhere! blech
i hate cleaning. i am a terrible house-keeper. if i could find someone to clean for me, i'd gladly pay.
*puts on mask*
no no - the bottle part stayed in one piece, only the base broke. and the bottle was just about empty anyway
i sometimes have a housekeeper but since i am unemployed i do not
we have a housecleaner... it's a pretty nice thing
oh okay
ru? are you home when she cleans? if so, what do you DO while she's working away?
the only thing i insist on in a housekeeper is that she washes the clothes and does a good job of that
i stay in different rooms.. once my office is clean I just come back here to get out of the way
i had a gal a few years ago - she'd come when i was at work. but dammit, she went back to school and got a better job. mumblemumble.
(psst welki he's a guy. he probably doesn't feel guilty)
how rude of her to get a better job!
<---not a guilt feeling kind of person
tx jmc
my housekeeper retired to brazil where she was from
yw kenny so whoo hoo?
that's nuts jmc
of course not ru you are a guy
hard to find someone independently here - you pretty much have to hire a service.
it is moving in that direction here but they never do a good job
i miss my brazilian woman who actually took pride in her work
services really can rip you off
but i'm just about ready to make the call, especially with fishing season coming (when i don't have weekends to pretend to clean)
by stealing things ..etc
the only advantage to a service is not paying payroll taxes
true
i am usually in and out enough they wouldn't dare
*sigh* can't put everything away before they come - or what's the point
our friend had a service for a bit and was missing her drugs and jewelry
that is why i don't worry about day time burglaries
in that order
well depends on the drugs. . . .
perscription
i put things away because i don't want to pay for them to do certain things for me
oh okay then. . .
oops i thought i was almost out of champagne. . . .*mops up*
blech. can't find a trustworthy independent cleaner. can't trust the services. looks like i'm going to have to bite the bullet and actually clean - instead of pretending, like i usually do :)
should have known i was too sober
so clean up once a month and forgetaboutit
lol once a month! .. *picks mrs ru up OFF the floor*
i would offer some ru but i understand from my liquor store i have very plebeian tastes when it comes to champagne
how plebian
hey i take out the trash and wipe the counters and wash the clothes and i am mostly done
yeah, i guess. oh - and about the pierogies. i had to use them. it's been one helluva week. the oven ignitor broke, so part won't be in until tuesday at least. figured i'd see what was in the freeze - the shelves came falling down - so at least the freezer is clean. the rest of the house. fagettaboutit
and occasional dust mop and what else do you need?
that said, i am committed to the floors, bathrooms and linens tomorrow
well it is good to clear out the freezer before fishing season
well i confess i do (sort of ) make my bed every day
hehehe - we don't keep our catch, so freezer room is entirely for food - and bait.
you don't eat it?
*out to sauce up the ribs*
i clear out my freezer before gardening season
nah - i hate killing them. maybe once every five years or so we'll keep a trout or bass, but if i want fish, i buy it
*Sneaks some of special sauce into welki's pot*
really?!?!?!?!
even i eat what i fish and i hate to eat fish
I rarely eat fish
i eat tilapia since it is sustainable and i do love cerviche
but on the rare occasion i fish i eat the blue gills and trout i catch
oh. then you have to go to La Mar in SF jm.. it's the best ceviche in the country
La Mar? *makes a note*
well, i need to concentrate on cooking - will 'see' you all later!
bye welkster
bye welki
*blows kisses*

hello everyone - checking in from Medford, OR
and how is medford?
oh.. hi nan
cold and overcast
*wiggles fingers in greeting*
go to central .. some # restaurant
and how is twins?
central 159 or something
in medford?
yes
my closest friends live in Medford
i am losing ground i still have six words and only 4 hours
neat ru
LOL jm
*dabs eyes at thought at not being ru's closest friend*
we'll see -- we stopped at a great little restaurant in Shasta City for a late lunch and both of us are far from hungry - just enjoying a glass of wine at the moment
(on the other hand i don't actually know his name)
i toast you with my leftover champagne
for dinner nan.. it's the only decent place there
champagne from Plebian Cellars?
ok, ruru - will have a look later
absolutely!
freixenet
right in the middle of town near the theater play house
my wedding champagne
to be clear. . . this is not left over from my wedding
Freixenet is okay.. for inexpensive Cava.. it's decent..
ret---
I was going to say...lol
<---Digs Freixenet. Not a wine snob.
Crud...sorry...monkeys
it is my sentimental favorite
awwww... i get it
hi ru
(come share some with me molls)
there are lots of inexpensive Cavas.. that are better for lest money
*less*
well what can i say ru. . . .
champ i owe you a romantic story
*pours last of champagne and hunkers down to tell story*
Speaking of wine: http://tinyurl.com/6pxl8om
the first time i met my husbands family was at christmas
he had bought me a really slinky nighty and given it to me before the family gathering
that's weird it didn't bring up anything molly
but he had not told me that he had NEVER brought a woman home for christmas before
so at christmas in new england (and going to the woods and cutting down our own tr** etc just like the books) i found myself under scrutiny
you still here champ? this story is for you
christmas morning as we open gifts he gives me a box which i open in front of god and everyone in which the skimpy slinky nighty is contained. . . .
i blushed
later that day. . . .
omg..talk about breaking in the in-laws
(no kidding ru i was furious)
anyone have stats for the bottom y?
<---Loves JMC's stories
ye 5/14
ye 4
his sister and her boy friend come into the living room looking all goofy
or ye 5 X 2
ye5/14 for both of them
that's the upper y, ruru
(ty molls)
this is getting juicy now
ty jmc
he says in his best nj jew accent (hope i am not being politically incorrect). . . .
oooo good story tell us more jmc
mr and mrs. . . . .I want to ask your permission to marry your daughter. . . and they flash a diamond ring the size of gilbralter. . . .
(they were both doctors)
covers eyes to avcoid blinding flash...
(and yes i will finish the story in the pb)
so they were married. . . and then the story i told a few days ago about my proposal. . . .
and then. . . .
on edge of seat....
i got a call early in the morning in february. . .my mother called. . . .
te6, please? (hating to interrupt the story)
she had found my daddy dead that morning
te+ again + beginning again
which one gwen
last one
te 6: cut new dentures
te6 sounds like stuttering disease
Thanks jmc.
needless to say i burst into tears and my beloved (we lived in sin at that point) held me. . . .
we caught the next plane we could to texas to be there for mother and for the funeral. . . .
*Sniffs* this is a sad story. I like the "when we met" story better.
yes, sad...
on the lay over my beloved paid for me to get my boots polished (it gets better molls). . .
and then as we walked around he saw a jewelry stand with a paste ring that cost about $5. . . .
<--bets that's not all he polished
it was bigger than his sister's
ROFL
On the "Lay" over
(not on this trip ru)
(good evening. Sneaking in and sitting on edge of seat)
ROFL
so he bought me the $5 ring so that I could flash it at his sister the DOCTOR (say that with a NJ accent) even though we were poor lawyers
*Stokes fire and refreshes drinks as people gather for the story telling*
and that is how i got my engagement ring
**sneaks out, so as to not interrupt the storyline**
how cute
next story is the wedding day. . . .
Great story! :-D
bye gwen
I still like the "when we met" story better. It's the breast.
lone e stats, please (either or both)?
hahaha you like that better than the proposal?
et6
ey4/6, cyber
et6/21
Oh wait, maybe I like those two equally.
(nope, I'm wrong)
well another day for the wedding story and then you can decide
I think the lone E is the e8
*wanders off to pb to look for more champagne*
there are two lone Es
found the et 6
mmmm - don;t have an e 8
How are you defining lone E? I was going with E 1/1.
did champ stick around? that story was for her
Oh nevermind. I see the other one now
and there is an e 1/1 in the second row and in the fourth row
my whos online has not worked in weeks
that
the e8 is a compound word cyber
that's the et 6 - have that one - looking for the e? 8/?
ey8+think fangs
I think the lower E 1/1 is the e8/55.
ty april
5 to go
Alright, I'm out of here. Bye all
go cyber go
hi april
bye gwen

whoo hooo MP
with this grid; we need stories
haha
night jmc...want to know more later about your house dc said it was really neat and they took pictures or something...sounds nice!
Kind of hard to dominate a chat log for a 47 word grid that most people are way done with.
i hope to have some new pics posted soon MP
kinda hard NOT to dominate a chat for a 47 word grid! hahaha
i was a young intern on the Hill working for one of the last liberal congressmen from texas
(he actually was defeated later by ron paul)
when you got engaged?
oh good can't wait to see...I am a home decor junkie of sorts....love design and planning etc....currently working on updating my patio for DH
no this is earlier nef
just bought two star jasmines today...and thinking of how I want to use them...
my patio is fabulous
this story is when i had just graduated college
okay
i am thinking about a red bud tree but i am not sure how tall my house is and i hate tr**s tower over it
let me start earlier. . . .
i graduate college and had no job. . .
i hated it. . .
wow my furniture is old but well taken care of so got new pillows, outdoor rugs and moved all around, new planters....oh my red buds are in bloom love them...
red buds are slow growing doubt they'd tower over any house
my b-i-l (now ex) got me an internship at a congressman's office who represented my mother. . .
I was going to say the same, MP
1 left
that is what i want then MP
mostly it was fun. . .i stayed in the house of the congressman and his wife (soon to be ex-wife) in Georgetown.
I love the spring blooms and then the summer heart shaped leaves and then the fall blazing yellow leaves and the winter smooth dark bark and the branches...a tree that is glorius in all seasons
*glorious*
Interns were invited to various things and I met a couple of really cute young guys. . . and went to various events including the Chinese (now known as the Taiwanese) embassy
red buds are among my favorite
do most interns do that, jmc? I've often wondered how a young person could live there
My S-I-L worked for Sarbanes, then Byrd and now for Architect of the Capitol I believe
i went to the Mall for the folk life festival and later was standing at a bus stop and started singing Janice Joplin songs for tips. . . .
(most of them have cheap or free places nef)
jmc did anyone buy you a mercedes benz?
oh lord won't you buy me a mercedes benz. . . .
hahaha exactly MP. . . .
great minds in sync LOL
but one night the receptionist at the office who was about my age invited me out with her friends. . .
I'm having serious lag here; need to reboot
we caught a cab to the Kennedy Center. . .
should I wait?
wowza jmc you are on a roll tonight as a great story teller....love it!
i love telling stories. . .
oh no...is this a cliffhanger????
i was waiting for nef
my whos online hasn't worked for ages so. . .
*taps foot*
okay nef can catch up
back. Darn server or browser problems lately
we were 5 women working on the Hill . . . .
Actually I do have to run also...catch up later jmc...this was fun! Niters all..poofy for real!
we went to the Kennedy Center and there at the rood top terrace restaurant were 5 congressmen . . .most of whom were single but the one i remember most was Charlie Wilson
bye, MP
bye MP there is always the archive. . .
perhaps you remember Charlie Wilson's War?
He was a moderate from Texas. . .and I found out later was on the board of the Kennedy Center. . .
I knew about Charlie Wilson before the movie! (DH and I are history buffs here)
we ate and drank and each one of the congressmen tried to go home with one of the secretaries or interns who had come that night. . .
as it turned out . . . .
yes????
that night i went with no one (I have a thing about not screwing married men) but i joined them a couple of other nights and one time. . . ..
a lawyer i knew from texas came to the . . . dinner
he had been married when i knew him before and annoyed that while i would let him give me a job at his mega law firm i would not screw him
Dang!
but this night i found out he had finally gotten divorced. . .
The nerve of him!
so we went to his hotel after . . . dinner
LOL!
the next morning as I was leaving . . .
he gave me $50 for a cab. . .I felt I deserved it and never would return his calls again
that bad???
in those days a cab would cost $5
clue for the last ti5/10 please
not all my stories have happy endings
I haven't listed yet, but there are 2 ways to spell some words (US and British)
ty fw
YAY, JMC!!!! WTG!!!

okay that is enough of me telling stories
i am off to sleep or do tax returns. . .i have not decided
Good luck with whichever you choose

the snowman is a ye4 word, jen
i know!
hello!
hi viajes :)
Lower y is 2 spellings of the same Yiddish word
.. a busybody
was anyone having the chat box look really weird earlier, like the CSS was off? it's back to normal now but I am curious...
i am categorically incapable of remembering that word... it's been in so many grids and i cannot ever remember it.
viajes, I've never seen you here before. You're in MPLS??? I live in Shoreview!
also does anyone have a clue for the second te6/18?
anyone know about MS?
luckily google remembers it :) thanks, torg
nbt for real now
Hi Nef! Cool! I have been pretty active for the past... two weeks or so?
I do, Jen. Too well (DH has it)
how does it start out, nef?
Ah. I've been pretty much out of the game for over a month due to DH's health
Jen, it's different for each person. What's up?
my body feels like it is shocking me at times in different areas
Many people with MS first have eye problems; DH lost the feeling in his left arm and had a facial droop after he came back from a fishing trip and I thought he'd stroked
"shoking you"? How so?
i somethimes come home just exhausted mind you, a 10 hour day
it feels as if i had touch something and it shocks me
but i haven
haven't touched anything
however, my cubital tunnel left elbow is bothering me a lot
how long has that been going on?: Are you working 10 hour days?
carpal tunnel? Are you splinting and icing it?
the last week, i have been working 4 ten hour days since jan. have Wed. off
and when i scratch something my skin tingles
have you been to the doctor about it? It could be fatigue or something else
i am seeing the doctor on Wed.
Good!
how do you use Lickety clues and stay on this page?
Make sure you tell him/her ALL of your different symptoms and concerns (write them down ahead of time)
my thyroid test came back fine 2 weeks ago
that's good news
i am frequently certain that i have MS.
open it in a different window and switch back and fort, robwhy
i have two windows open robwhy
rob, open another window
window, or tab?
how is that mab?
either, but if you do 2 windows, you can split screen them.
hi mab :)
do you type in the Lickety window or this one?
hypochondria i think
both--you'll have to copy/paste or type in each.
mab and Jen, the MS society has a good website to check out; but I can't find the page I'm looking for for you
i had a huge exposure to mercury a while ago and was never properly treated
okay
but you're hardly mad at all, mab :)
how were you exposed to mercury, mab?
(do any of you remember playing with a ball of mercury in HS chemistry or science classes?)
i still have a vial of the stuff, Nef :)
i didn't nef
LOL! Does that explain a few things, jes? ;-)
top two rows cleaned up!
well, Jen, we were probably stupid back then (1960s)
maaaaaaybeeeee....
2 words left. need to get 'em and get out of here so i can go to work...
not sure, but ithe amount of mercury literally was off the chart. other heavy metals too were high.
1
I am done... let me know if you need clues
go jes!
Oh dear, mab! How were you exposed?
That would be scarey!
fireworks!
YAY, viajes!!! WTG!!!
AY, jes!!! WTG!!!!
last word was ho6, which describes my opinion of the ye words! :D
I had some neurological symptoms, but not so much now.
ks boys are losing. :0(
and, jes, as for being mad as a hatter, I'm a poor judge.
yeah, jes!
ok. away i get to work again. ya'll have a loverly night!
have fun! I am secretly playing spider solitaire in another box, and then I will go away too :D
mab, are they following up on you?
no. my insurance won't let me have the chelating mediication
hi all. any clue for the 8?
Hey, Jen. I just remembered we were talking about your cat the other day and you had to leave. How did you get a Manx and how old is she?
mab, did your doc send them a letter? (It doesn't always work, but it might help)
i have no idea, mkg. wish i did.
mkg, it's a combo word, in your mouth ey 8
oh, Nef, she came as a stray one day, walked up to do while he was talking to a neighbor and started rubbing on him
thanks nef
Okay, good night to all the people. See you tomorrow, perhaps with a... more wordful grid.
and be healthy everyone!
my dtr's cat is a Manx and has a full tail; we had her littermate brother who was a full "rumpy" but we had to put him down because he lost bowel and bladder control and all feeling in his hind legs
how sad. was he old?
she is about 9 years old
any clues for the j words or the y words?????????
he was 18 months old when we had to put him down. I was playing with him one day (with a string toy) and he bit himself in his hind leg and drew blood and wasn't even aware of it. :-(
the sweetest little sister i can have; at least that is what my parents call her, her name is Calico

GO KU!
te 4/4 is t plus consume. te4/5 is te5/12 word minus a vowel. ti 4/4 word is a type of seating at a baseball game. to4/4 is to+he, she ** is JenMo16. Did that help
te, th, ti, to and tr....if that helps...
Come on Kansas....
not sure on the last one you clued jilly
brb

i am missing te6/21, th4/4, and two ti5/
te6= think playground...t***** totter
ti5/10
or whoops wrong one...
i have that one
The te 6/21 word is te 5/12 word + a vowel JenMO16.
got it
te6= what a baby does..build off te5/12
ti 5: the quantity of antibody present in an organism
Other ti 5/10 reverses the last two letters of 1st one
there are two 5/10's, one a measure of viral levels, and then the english spelling of same
That ti 5/12 is breast + the opposite of she JenMO16.
brb again...
you two are making no sense
That first th 4/5 is My Country Tis of Th** JenMO16.
i have ti5/12 to give money to the church
The 4/5: First I will take a shower, th** I will goto bed
i need the two ti5/10
