I knew it was in the 700s ... if I had the date I think I could get it through the archives...

Kazzer, there are no icon themes any more. Lack of interest. So post whatever you like.

1:47 am

1:47 am

Sorry, I don't remember the date -- didn't have time that day -- but flosey did -- maybe she remembers.

I'm not sure much of my brain is engaged at this point.

3:52 am

mindless babbling? you aren't the 1st

3:52 am

brainless babbling.... better alliteration

Haha. I'm sure I'm not. :P

And yep... I agree.

3:54 am

Uhhh, no. Not yet.

Haven't tried to figure that out.

6:31 am

good morning dear friends. quick babble before a KILLER day at work....dread

6:31 am

aaah, I keep seeing it mentioned, but haven't had the "pleasure" lol

6:31 am

howdy trif:)))

6:31 am

{{trif}}

6:31 am

my sister (in NY) says it's drek {sp?}

6:32 am

50 shades of grey is HORRIBLY written, and just about the horniest book I have ever read....go figure!

6:32 am

i also heard it is empty headed tripe sprite

6:32 am

I'm afraid my interest ended with Henry Miller and Annonymous

6:32 am

all the ladies want it for the hot bits is all:)))

6:33 am

the author knew what she was doing though - make the main character so characterless and readers project themselves in4 the story, and thus get totally sucked in.....

6:33 am

like reading a porn movies,no story but lots of action

6:34 am

so to speak....lol

6:34 am

hi Triffles! Is that so? A friend of mine is reading it and says it is really very good.

6:34 am

its crap sprite - but horny crap

6:34 am

awwww :( Ah well, I love horny too. But I prefer a good story to go with it.

6:34 am

just like twilight the girl lead is a empty vessel any tween girl can dump herself into whist edward is described down to the last mole

6:35 am

mind you, this was before I met my love, so who knows how I would feel about it now?

6:35 am

I liked all that stuff MANY years ago. Not any more!!!!!

6:35 am

my friend knows a lot about the whole sm world and she said it was very good, very believable chars.

6:36 am

that is exactly it, crossy. and 50 shades was born in a twilight fan forum, as a fanfic

6:36 am

so... I will go read it for myself, grin, and if I don't like it, nothing lost.

6:36 am

i can't imagine it will take you more than about 3 hours, sprite

6:36 am

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K4uuGvm AxTI

6:37 am

lol

6:37 am

lol too true... I read voraciously.

6:37 am

is that the saturday night live thing?

6:37 am

and sprite will leave here with all the books she can carry!

6:39 am

the next town over from me has an AMAZING library sale twice a year. When they see me coming they just hand over a cart, and two years ago primo and I were photographed leaving for the newspaper!

6:39 am

we can carry a lot with our e-readers ruby:)

6:39 am

lol ruby :) What do you read nowadays?

6:39 am

oh wow Trif... sounds like me.

6:39 am

the big 50 shades joke around my town was that it was a pity nooks and kindles didn't vibrate.....shocking!

6:40 am

roflolllll

6:40 am

my sister used to send me about 12 books a month using m-bags. But now the US postal service discontinued them, but I still have a surfeit of books and will happily share!

6:40 am

mine has a media plaer in it if you like,turn the bass right up on the music and it may vibrate

6:41 am

you can play "leave your hat on" ewith full base while you read 50 shades

6:42 am

hmmmm - now THERE is an idea, crossy!

6:42 am

hey, if it is well written, who needs a vibrating reader...

6:43 am

by the way, this is the video that has been on heavy rotation this week at mine - 47 seconds of absolute hilarity: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CtB1HQt 6ak8

6:43 am

my first gen B=N nook has wi-fi and a audio player,the wi-fi is a pain in the arse due to the small lower screen but the music player is cool.i keep about 200 songs on it

6:46 am

lol Trif... poor deer

6:46 am

Ikr? that man!! Fenton....Fenton....FENTON...gets me every time!

6:47 am

I don't even want to go to the office today. Someone moved my plant. It was MY plant!

7:08 am

fireflies!

I'm feeling pissy and underappreciated.

7:09 am

whooo hooooo SPRITE!!!

7:09 am

poor Kaplan :(

7:09 am

what kind of plant, Kap? and why did they move it?

7:09 am

Oh crap. I hate that. don't touch my stuff at my desk.

7:09 am

Well done Sprite!

Stats please for the lowest R?

7:10 am

Gak. Never mind! Just got it!

7:10 am

bye, sprite. thanks for the help.

They had an open house and moved my stuff. I bought ther damn plant at Home Depot- it is not yours. Just a philodendron type think.

7:10 am

NBT and NBS!

I kept staring at the spot all day thinking something was off.

And it was. Off. As in not there.

7:11 am

go collect it and put a big sign on it!

Do you know how annoying a plant can be when it is discovered to be Not There?

As I was going up the stair

I met a man who wasn't there.

He wasn't there again today-

I wish I WISH he'd go away.

7:13 am

e e cummings

No- not cummings. I think it's the great poet Anon.

7:14 am

hi dobie!! that's very annoying, kap. the plant thief needs to be potted!

I was always impressed at how prolific Anon was.

7:14 am

hi lb and kap

I think Anon is my favorite all-time poet.

So versatile.

So versatile.

7:16 am

William Hughes Mearns

7:35 am

Got it uusue! TY!

7:38 am

ty suze

7:39 am

Good morning Crossy!

7:40 am

howdy car:)

7:40 am

hi crossy!

7:40 am

you are just in time!! it is now time for crossys tidbit of the day!!

7:40 am

OK. I have to go and call the car insurance company about a rental and possible car loan. UGH.

7:40 am

William S. Gray, A. Sterl Artley, and May Hill Arbuthnot were once three of the most widely read authors in the United States. They were the authors behind the Dick and Jane series for school children.

7:41 am

See Dick run! Run, Dick, run!

7:41 am

Cool! See Crossy. See Crossy Run. See Crossy run to bacon!

7:41 am

lol

7:41 am

bummer, car, I saw that you had had a problem with your, well, car.

7:42 am

Yup. It needs to be replaced. No doubt. But I really don't see how that is going to happen at all.

7:42 am

what broke?

7:43 am

The radiator blew out in grand fashion at the Little League field. We made quite an entrance! Like Uncle Buck's car.

7:43 am

ahh easy fix,as long as you did not boil it up for too long

7:43 am

But this is just the latest in things to "go". It is a 2000 Jeep Cherokee Sport and it has over 136,000 miles on it.

7:44 am

ouch..if the repair is over 300,toss the cherokee

7:44 am

The exhaust is about to fall off of it too. All rusted out. Ahhh...living near the shore...the cruel reality!

7:44 am

Yup. But I don't think I will ever get a decent car loan, so I am not sure what to do.

7:44 am

time to send hubz off to work. bbl to finish

7:44 am

there is 800 for a entire exhaust system...

7:45 am

Bye Dawg!

7:45 am

I drive my kids and my mom around in the car....I want it to be safe.

7:46 am

I am afraid if I just keep patching it here and there, I am not being smart. Just wasting money.

7:46 am

car,if you can skim together 5-7000 go to the dealer and pick up a low milage toyota echo (under 100,000 kms) things are bullet proof

7:46 am

OK. off now to make the calls. Oooh! TY Crossy! Good to know!

7:46 am

TY! *poof*

7:47 am

those older cherokees are usually tanks as well..odd but she says she lives right on a body of salt water?

7:48 am

just spent that time weeding! they are taking over the garden, but it was nice to have a little sunshine for a change

7:49 am

Good morning all. I just heard on the radio this a.m. that the US govt. is investigating Jeeps (Cherokees, Grand Cherokees, etc.) for gas tank problems dating back to 1993!

7:49 am

More recalls are in the offing.

7:49 am

sounds like a "pinto problem"

7:50 am

hi ruby!

7:51 am

hello sue

7:51 am

Very similar, ruby. I really wish American car makers would get their sh*t together and quit making such defective cars.

7:51 am

when he was 17, my son was given an old pinto by his (my ex) father

7:51 am

I couldn't believe it!

7:53 am

LOL! My dad gave my step brother and me a '77 Pinto when we were 16! It was a V6, army green. Fortunately, not the year that was prone to gas tank boom-booms.

7:53 am

let's give them all father-of-the-year awards!

7:54 am

Yeah. My dad was more of an opportunist than a car afficianado. Plus he worked at a car dealership. So, whatever was cheap enough, ended up going home with him.

7:55 am

sorry, that was "mean nel" speaking

8:03 am

66 words and now really nap time

good morning or afternoon depending on where you are; and how many words today and thanks

8:18 am

Phantom: panspermatism

huh?

8:23 am

My phantoms take a stretch of the imagination and the ability to elide ....

yeah, cause hardly any of them letters are in the grid!

8:25 am

Well, that is what it takes for a real phantom.

Oh, yeah?Well, I see Elvis

8:27 am

Is that a 39 year old Jack Benny in your profile?

Yup.

8:28 am

I like how, even with so few resources (only 95 words), they are shared around all of the different tiles.

Still wanna talk phantoms? I see the Madonna.

8:28 am

Except for those two in the corners, but they're jerks anyway.

8:29 am

I see her too, Kap!

8:29 am

I always have been shy and stay in the corners.

there are four corners in mine.

8:30 am

really? your grid has four corners? that's weird.

My grid it has four corners, four corners has my grid

And had it not four corners...

(finish the song)

8:31 am

The chap badinage has been good.

8:31 am

it would not be your grid.

it wouldn't be my grid

There ya go.

What else can I do to delay going to my office?

8:32 am

have you found all the words then?

Let's have a sing-along Sound of Music!

Let's start at the very beginning...

8:33 am

that's a horrible place to start!

8:33 am

Roses are red ... violets are blue ... will paroxetine ... help the colors too?

I see you people are going to be very very difficult today.

8:34 am

Are you guys on something?

If they are I want some too!

whatever can you mean?

8:35 am

and if so what?

8:35 am

what have i walked into?

8:35 am

what have i walked into?

8:36 am

lol Hi All

i don't know but it appears you have walked into it twice

8:36 am

: D

8:37 am

Like I always say, if at first you don't succeed ... have a donut

8:37 am

awww, now I want a donut

8:37 am

good philosophy!

I do have to get moving.

8:38 am

moving what?

8:41 am

stats on corner N please?

8:41 am

rhymes with hair that isn't straight

8:41 am

I think it was nu 4,5

8:41 am

ty Hursh

8:42 am

oh brabble, my sister would LOVE that saying.

8:42 am

Firetwerps!

8:42 am

YAY! for Judi!

8:43 am

Everyone is forbidden from saying "donut" because I am on a diet.

8:43 am

ahhh! I was thinking backwards for some reason. i.e. that the grid would run it off the second N unless it couldn't, but it's the other way around, duh.

8:43 am

who are you calling twerps, Judi!

8:44 am

However, "coffee" is allowed... in mass quantities.

8:44 am

yes I must diet also.

8:44 am

i have never understood why quora isn't the plural of quorum.

8:45 am

Mr Scale has been very inkind lately

8:45 am

Speaking of which, I'm off to get another big gulp. See you kids tomorrow! *POOF*

8:47 am

bbl : )

8:49 am

is it just me or is this kind of hard for such a small grid

8:51 am

small grids are usually harder, aren't they? cuz it's just the made-up words, and fewer of the real ones :P

8:53 am

well sometimes, but sometimes they are nice, and even if they have lots of babblets, if you KNOW lots of babblets, that's ok.

8:54 am

shall we share our 7's? i have ou and qu

8:55 am

i have tr and ru

8:55 am

cool, thanks... got the ru now...

8:55 am

8:57 am

ty

9:00 am

time to go, bbl

9:00 am

well, i've reached the dreaded 14. guess i might as well get the list.

9:02 am

is 14 the cut-off? and it inspires dread?

9:03 am

well see

9:03 am

anyway, good luck -- bye for real :)

9:03 am

back when i didn't work full time i liked to try to not use the list at all, cause, you know, i had lots of time. and one day i got the list with 14 to go and didn't really WANT to get the list and then it turned out a bunch of the ones left were easy

9:04 am

so ever since then it's the dreaded 14

9:04 am

even though now, i hardly ever go listless anymore, and now get the list somewhere between 80-90% done

9:05 am

not that i couldn't go listless at work ... since i have so little to do here... sigh

9:06 am

10:00 am

and it is now time for crossy,s new undeniable truth of the day!!!!

10:00 am

if you got the to4 from that, there's also a 6

10:00 am

Borstelmann's Rule If everything seems to be coming your way, you're probably in the wrong lane.

10:01 am

kinda like the light at the end of the tunnel being an oncoming train, crossy

10:01 am

lol,indeed

Much too nice to be indoors this morning.... be back later to finish.

oh... by the way... has anyone mentioned why the maximum score in the rankings dropped to 1029 for everyone, instead of 1030 ??

10:06 am

not that I've read...

10:08 am

it happened after the server ran out of grids ... I do not know why but is associated with the that particular server problem and has occurred alike before.

It's almost as if the scoring machine missed one whole day, as that is what happens if a person doesn't play in a day. ..... goes down one point

thanks BabbleRabble... and it's no big deal..was just wondering :-)

10:09 am

hmmm... interesting, BR, thanks. didn't know the server could run out, lol.

10:54 am

any u word clues?

10:55 am

un4/5 and two ur5/12

I can't accept the lack of 'horrid' and 'horror' in this grid

11:05 am

There, there, Andrew. : )

Haha! It's just all too much...

11:06 am

It's horrifying

You're gonna make me start twitching :P

11:09 am

hi all, can anyone give me some salad dressing ideas please.i hate salad but am trying to eat more.i normally do a white wine vinegar olive oil and wholegrain dijjon mustard but could do with some more ideas

11:10 am

i've used honey aswell

11:10 am

Oil based or creamy?

11:11 am

i don't like anything too spicy though.

11:11 am

low fatter the better but i do like low fat creme fraiche

Dressing: 2/3 cup oil 2 tsp. finely chopped onion ½ cup sugar or Splenda 1 tsp. Dijon mustard 1/3 cup lemon juice ½ tsp. salt 1 Tbsp. poppy seeds

11:12 am

thanks diane, haven't got any poppy seeds at the moment but will definitely try that one

One of my favourites and stores well in a jar in the fridge...I use it on several types of salads, but is meant to go with my winter fruit salad.

The nice thing about poppy seeds is : you can enjoy them for hours as they loosen from your gums and teeth !!!

11:14 am

really, dijon mustard with fruit...never tried it, will have to now :)

11:14 am

saying that, or onion

11:15 am

lol diane

11:15 am

lilliann... how about the german dressing? vinegar, splenda or sugar, water(almost equal amounts)small dose of oil , salt & pepper to taste and then (other a.dditives can be diced onions and/or poppyseed

11:17 am

never tried it aeb but will add it to my list ty

11:19 am

u can also do a fruit dressing by adding mayo to the dressing, eliminating the oil and salt & pepper of the original german dressing.

lil... the salad is only called that because there are dried cranberries, cubed apple and pear... but there is still romaine lettuce , cashews and mozarella chees too. It

It's one of our family favourites

11:21 am

or instead of a lot of vinegar , add fruit jucie and mayo together and poppyseed for a fruit dressing ,,,,or yougert and fruit juice dressing

11:22 am

i can't eat fruit with savoury....don't know why but i like them seperate

11:23 am

thank you both for your ideas, will definitely try them :)

11:28 am

i've just looked in my cupboard and found some sunflower and pumpkin seeds so i could add some of them too. i like just to snack on them

11:32 am

have found a nice mixed green bean salad so off to make that for tea.thanks for your ideas.will let you know what i think.bbl

enjoy your tea :-)

12:27 pm

ruby's salad dressing: in a big jar -- 1/4 cup olive oil, 1/4 cup balsamic vinagar, 1/2 cup red wine vinegar, 1 tsp mustard, one clove garlic (chopped or pressed), sea salt, pepper -- add two ice cups and shake.

12:27 pm

he ice helps the oil to emulsify

12:27 pm

ice cubes* whoops

12:28 pm

it's very low fat, I started making it when usband was on the South Beach diet

12:28 pm

Rufie is sitting on my foot and is practically pushing me off the chair!

12:29 pm

oh whoops, didn't see the time -- lilliann is long goen (embarrassed)

12:29 pm

Ruby, do the dogs get confused, with their names sounding so much alike?

12:29 pm

back for a few more ((ruby))

12:30 pm

no, we get confused as they are starting to look so alike. We had a temporary cleaning lady last summer, an Italian, who, when she heard me call Ruby "poopy" thought that was her name

12:31 pm

before Max we had another male named Rufus and Ruffino is named for him

12:31 pm

today is our first sunny day

12:31 pm

they seem to no the difference

12:32 pm

know* typing phonetically, uh oh

12:36 pm

<-- killed the chat. sorry

12:37 pm

No you didn't. I'm in and out. Multi-tasking. : D

12:41 pm

Everyone else just has their Hannibal Lecter lurkers of silence masks on. : P

12:43 pm

1:01 pm

the suspense is killing me.

1:02 pm

1:02 pm

It was a plesant dream and not a nightmare :)

1:02 pm

1:02 pm

glad to hear that.

1:04 pm

from the bottom r I have rh4, help with other pls

1:05 pm

rh is not from that one.

1:05 pm

1:05 pm

oh, let me check again

1:05 pm

i think re's

1:06 pm

1:09 pm

and the 6

1:10 pm

ty Molls and hego

1:10 pm

yw

1:10 pm

ty Molly

1:11 pm

Question for you two...we are discussing etiquette in my office. Do you send a thank you note to each person who attends a funeral? I have never heard of that.

1:11 pm

I never did, Molls

1:11 pm

it's done here Molly

1:12 pm

When my husband died I sent notes just to people who donated etc.

1:12 pm

although I know of people who do

1:12 pm

and what hego said

1:13 pm

It must be specific to certain areas. We are at about a 50/50 split in my office. That can be a LOT of thank you notes. I have always heard notes go to people who make donations, send flowers or a mass card or who bring food to the house.

1:13 pm

Bur I've received them just for showing up.

1:13 pm

To me, attending a funeral is a sign of respect, that requires no thank you.

1:14 pm

I think it's too much to ask of bereved (sp) people.

1:14 pm

agreed Molls

1:14 pm

It's quiet in here! I only have a minute or 2 before I go donate blood (and work at the blood bank too); but just thought that I'd say that this isn't an easy grid today! I've been working on it for 15 minutes and still don't have NBT

1:48 pm

Nef, if you could bottle your energy and sell it, you would be a millionaire.

1:51 pm

hardly, Molly. DH's KC group is doing their annual blood drive, we're both supposed to work it; but he will go and shoot the breeze (he's got "drugs on board" and a TENS unit now, so fairly comfortable) and I'll work. At least he can be around others so he won't be so depressed.

1:52 pm

(and I don't have to be so hypervigilent when he's with his friends)

1:53 pm

Well then, it sounds like a nice diversion for both of you. And, you are giving something back to the community.

1:55 pm

it's fun. I enjoy volunteering; but haven't much time to do it lately because of him not being too trust-worthy. (He does dumb things when I'm not watching; like try to plants stuff, or swing an axe; or lift heavy objects, etc.) I think the pain makes him stupid or something

1:56 pm

And it's time to go now. I'm up to donate in 20 minutes; it's about 1/2 mile from home....

1:56 pm

Bye!

2:09 pm

2:44 pm

bye

2:44 pm

those "o"s are really hard. oo, or, ou - I still have 8 of them that seem impenetrable

3:52 pm

how old would you be if you did not know how old you are?

4:00 pm

Hello leigh

howdy leigh

5:21 pm

Well done you! I'm only halfway through and about to go to bed.

Thanks, Hydra. It's a strange puzzle today. I don't know what half the words mean.

5:23 pm

Me neither. I think that's why I'm finding it difficult. I just have to look up every new word, so it takes me ages to get through a game.

5:47 pm

any clues pls - oo 5/14 & oo 5/10?

5:50 pm

... fist is a past tense of a cry of amazement

5:52 pm

6:09 pm

6:10 pm

ty Molly got that at last. Only 6 more to go

6:13 pm

6:39 pm

hi all, what is a good brand of gin for martinis?

6:40 pm

went to the slower exercise class on Tues and walked over two miles today!!

6:40 pm

Bombay Gin

6:40 pm

thanks,need to buy some martini glasses

6:44 pm

Bombay and Tanqueray are what I buy.

6:44 pm

ok

6:44 pm

Having a party?

6:45 pm

And good for you on your two miles

6:45 pm

just thinking, no one else here likes martinis. may just be a party of one :)

6:45 pm

missing the ar6 - is it terribly obvious?

6:45 pm

thanks Molls. will start back with the harder exercise class next week

6:46 pm

No Harry, it's a weirdo

6:46 pm

but I really don'

6:46 pm

don't care to drink alone

6:46 pm

oh. can you clue it?

6:46 pm

And Peri, nothing wrong with a party of one.

6:46 pm

ar + Neosporin is ****ment

6:46 pm

well if you say so, Molls

6:46 pm

may have to make some guacamole to go with it

6:46 pm

ty moll. done

6:47 pm

gotta go put the kiddos to sleep

6:47 pm

Yay for Harry!

6:48 pm

Peri, as long as you don't make it an all day, every day thing, having your own little party can be fun. Nothing wrong with celebrating just cause. : )

6:48 pm

I can't stand people who have no common sense, especially when it comes to children

6:48 pm

Never, Molls. Just once in a great while

6:49 pm

I agree about common sense and kids Peri. I see lack of it all the time.

6:49 pm

I just realized I have not been putting enough alcohol in my drinks :(

6:49 pm

Hmm, I've never had that problem. : )

6:50 pm

Unless you can free pour three ounces, it's best to use a shot glass.

6:51 pm

I have a shot glass but have only been putting in one ounce per drink

6:51 pm

3 oz in one drink, Molls?

6:53 pm

It depends on what you're making Peri. Definitely three ounces for a martini.

6:54 pm

really? that sounds like a lot. so 3 oz of gin, a bit of vermouth and some olives? that sounds like a strong martini to me, but what do I know?

6:55 pm

2 ounces at the least, if you like your drinks light. I make them strong.

6:55 pm

ok then

6:55 pm

will start with 2

6:56 pm

The flavored martinis only call for one ounce because you are adding a bunch of other things to them.

6:57 pm

ok

6:57 pm

well,need to buy some gin and some martini glasses

6:58 pm

fireworks

6:59 pm

Well done Peri!

6:59 pm

Molls, will let you know when I am having a martini and they we can have one together, ok?

6:59 pm

It's a date Peri : )

6:59 pm

:)

7:00 pm

bye for now

7:09 pm

Good evening Babblers

7:16 pm

indeed! I have 28 left and am considering listing...

7:17 pm

95 words, arach.

7:18 pm

Sue, I have 6 left and the list isn't a lot of help with them.

7:18 pm

hmmm.

7:19 pm

thanks wht

7:21 pm

4 left now. This is slow going.

7:24 pm

ok, I am too intrigued not to list now :-)

7:24 pm

its not the words i havent heard of .....its the words i know are words that are in the puzzle that arent counted

7:25 pm

like what, Arach?

7:25 pm

rheid

7:26 pm

rheid is a solid material that deforms by viscous flow

7:26 pm

still stuck on the o words. Last 2 words q

7:26 pm

ooh, good one!

7:26 pm

good but not in there :(

7:26 pm

clue for the or6,24 please

7:27 pm

well, it's a model solar system, wht (probably that doesn't help)

7:27 pm

it has three of the same consonant in it, and ends in the sometimes vowel

7:27 pm

nm. Found it. Fireworks

7:27 pm

opps! last 2 words any clues pls for or 4/4 7 or 6/24?

7:27 pm

good clue thnx uusue

7:28 pm

yay wht!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

7:28 pm

I think I am getting like Peri.

7:28 pm

or6,24 is what Sue just clued

7:29 pm

or4,4 is like the old airport in Paris.

7:29 pm

It ends in a French article anyway.

7:30 pm

The other or4 ends with the Egyptian sun god.

7:33 pm

there is a second or 4/4 not the airport

7:34 pm

that 's the sun god one (it has a double consonant)

7:35 pm

Good evening to my fellow babblers! How is everyone?

7:43 pm

7:43 pm

That was quick jmc

7:44 pm

jdd the trick is starting with the right O for the solar system one

7:44 pm

well i had been picking at it all day wht and nbt was all i was going for before i go back to work. . . see how fast i am moving towards working?

7:44 pm

Which one is the model solar system?

7:45 pm

or6/24

7:45 pm

cause if you don't start on the right o you will be starting on the wrong one.

7:45 pm

I was wondering what that word meant.

hello folks

7:45 pm

Hello TO

7:45 pm

*sigh* i really must be going (hooray hooray hooray)

7:45 pm

7:46 pm

Hi Min, I am well and hope you are too

7:47 pm

the stats are sowing me that it is the middle o

7:47 pm

Hello. Annie. Today's grid was smooth sailing.

7:47 pm

you are correct, jdd

7:48 pm

BR, It wasnt that smooth for me but I did reach the shore

7:48 pm

congrats

7:48 pm

ty all - got it. Way past my bedtime but finally fireworks

7:48 pm

yay for jdd!!!

7:48 pm

the good thing about the o words is that they all start with o

7:49 pm

wtg jdd

7:49 pm

(groan)

7:49 pm

yay jdd!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

7:50 pm

It would have been a lot harder finding them if they started with another letter.

7:50 pm

that is what I figured ... so I am thankful

hello min

7:52 pm

and after I found all the o words ... I could stop looking for them if I wanted to.

7:53 pm

although there have been times that I have found all the words, and still catch myself looking for more...

7:54 pm

Most of the o words in this grid I never saw before, made for a time consuming grid and multiple requests for clues. Thanks everybody. Sleep beckons.

7:54 pm

night, jdd!

7:54 pm

I stopped in to say hello to all you funny and clever people and now I must be going.

good night, jdd

7:54 pm

and night, annie!

7:54 pm

Most times it is easier for me to find words if I face the monitor

i stopped in because i saw you, annie, unusual. hagn

7:55 pm

Goodbye jdd44!I will see you tomorrow in the chat log

7:55 pm

bye Owl..yes, I am a morning person but I was happy to see you.

aw, br, don't be so modest - you could probably find them with your hands tied behind your back ;)

7:55 pm

bye dear babblers

*waves*

7:56 pm

Goodbye Anniebrook!I'll see you tomorrow in the chog

what did whoever watched dallas think of it?

7:57 pm

I find that the ability to find words, and the ablility to type them in are completely different and unrelated skill sets.

ditto

7:59 pm

I type better, generally, when I use the keyboard

8:00 pm

my keyboard is missing the j key, which limits my ability to type on it

8:01 pm

How did you do with yesterday's grid, Sue?

8:01 pm

A grieving keyboard is problematical

8:02 pm

didn't finish it, wht. I use the on-screen keyboard, or cut and paste.

8:02 pm

so it is doable but annoying.

8:03 pm

The j's yesterday were annoying, even with a full keyboard.

jadish

8:04 pm

My therapist says playing annoying games is a means to punish myself for past misadventures but wearing a hair shirt next to a bonfire is inadequate to extirpate the shame embedded in my soul.
