{{sprite}}
hey ruby :) how was the tour yesterday? Any better?
many crashes :(
argh :)
eh... that was :(
still pretty dull til the last few kms
so sorry to hear that. I know how you were looking forward to enjoy the whole tour.
I'm su** it will get better
yeah it is bound to be. Well, at the very very least you are having a lot of time for yourself :)
except yesterday, for the first time, Burt watched most of it :(
oh jeezz that was not what you wanted. Maybe he is making an effort?
yes, he is, but I cherished the time alone.....
yeah I know. Time alone is so nice. But try and see the sunny side. Your husband making an effort is something good.
206, nbs, but can't find the lower right-hand s....
let me see, I have one there, but which one is it...
any one will do!
yeah but it is very hard to see which word comes from which S :)
plural, sh6
I love this grid, btw!
female + New Testament + plraul letter
nope way off the mark
ty rose, looking....
hi rose, how are you, dear friend?
I think sh6/24, closed + no r**t for the wicked.
sh6, plural of sh5, opposite of open + wind direction.
found an sh4!
yay
each day an improvement
see you later
bye ruby

ah good! What did the doctor say about your leg yesterday?
*poof*

patients without the bruising etc are the on4 who aren't getting up and walking
well whaddayaknow! Go for it, rose, you rock.
Good evening all. Nice to see you in the Land of the Living Rose! everything is going well?
yes thanx, lyn. oycodone in both it's forms is a wonderful drug
lol. Are you home?
yesterday, lyn. slept like a baby until 5:30, took pain meds, then slept until 8:45. so did himself.
nice to be home though I bet
used oxycodone for years. Glad I am off it now, but yes, it is a very good painkiller.
hi lyn :) xxx
hi Sprite. Cross was looking for you yeasterday
hi, ladies! still plugging away here - not to change the subject, but I just would love to thank whoever it was the other night who told me to use masking tape on my trim boards before cutting them, sure did help.
he se4 me an email, I think that was what he wanted to say. I hope so anyway :)
goodness - look at all those Ss
hi rbud :)

And to those that are doing it today!
Amen. *Cheers*
Clink!
hello, back from lunchat the local Italian. We both wore black armbands to commiserate with the owner, although we both knew that Spain was the better team
Hello, Ruby. I presume you are talking about a soccer match?
yes, Spain v. Italy, and it was clear from the beginning, it would be a rout
Great game, though
at least you enjoyed the game...
I really enjoy soccer on TV
I prefer to watch most sports on TV; it is easier to keep up with the action.
yes, and the commentators really help, even in French
indeed, they do!
*Stocks up the PB, as this is likely to be a "heavy traffic" day, especially with li4 in the grid*
ya think?
signor

howdy sue and mom :-)
I agree about the musical instrument players word. I would never have guessed they were called that.
trouble with the ts
all variant sp of the same word really
how you feel if you have hurt yourself
ts 6/18 is a yiddish word meaning troubles---ts and metal taken out of a mountain as in iron ***, pl.
pl
tx glan
How can you not have trouble plodding through 51 T words?
got the st9 ty, still looking for the in9
clue for the st 9 please
late night TV: the in**** dog
Peri, a nasty comment about someone is an in6. Extend it to those who do.
theres are 2 ts6/18
then plural, then "the one who"
tyty Molls and Une
thanks Molly and Une for the in 9
st9: st6/18 w/ gerund ending
The other ts is the same, ends in a different vowel/plural ending
fretting . . . wringing hands . . .
there is an lu9?
Une is st9 that you will not get her clue
thank you, Une
ah, very familiar with fretting ;-) thank you Une
molly LOL!
yw :-)
st5 no more Une, I got the st9
yay, annie LOL
Peri, the lu9 is people who play a musical instrument, but you have to add a few letters in the middle.
ok,Molls,I am trying
tx molly -- just monkeyed it :-)
aha,monkeyed it. ty Molls
monkeys hard at work today! LOL
ul6 - southern ireland & pl
Sounds more like someone who studies what gives you celiac disease with the first letter chopped off : )
probably is Molly LOL - player was the only way i could clue it
tx glan!
No, it's the player Glant. Just a weird take on it.
bl
thanks for the lu 9 word
bye Peri

good morning Red. I am hoping today finds you in better spirits. ((Hugs))
Hi red :)
Morning Red
I'm still in a bad mood, but, you know...I'm getting old enough to realie that *most* things blow over and if they don't then well, theres always something else...
84 remaining. must get ready for work. have a safe holiday everyone!
hi red!
and bye lbd!
you as well, ((LBD))
bye dawg , have an easy day
good morning all
Hi teach
hi wv!
Have a good Day LBD. Anyone have big 4th plans?
hi teach :)
I am sure it will blow over, Red. I wonder if sometimes we don't fret more than we should
not here, Red. Way too hot
hello wvteach
we are marching in a local parade, red, Frank is running for county board (so we have our t-shirts!)
Have to go to home depot to get some paint for my studio. daughter promised she'd helpo
Oooh neat uusue!
having someone to paint with is always more fun
sounds like fun, uusue
I agree on the paintintg partner...
She got my husband dopwn to NY to paint her apartment in exchange for coming up here and helping me
oh, I found thr ru9 - gerund ending on ru6/21 - kind of apple
so pleased with myself LOL
excellent, glant
I have to say Glantarell, I'd be pleased too, it is eluding me...
those apples with rough skin
ru ( beautiful fall color of leaves) and gerund ending
Ahhhh, I think it is also a name for potatoes...
thanks boht Annie and Glant.
yes, i think it may be
My Fav apples are these ones called the "Pink Ladies" yours?
I love pink lady - but they are v expensive here
expensive here too. I admit it is a small pleasure, I justify because they are healthy...
honeycrisp are my favorites...
haven't seen honeycrisp here
I like those too uusue, but sometimes they are so HARD...I have to chop them up to eat comfortably.
they are lovely for eating, sweet and tart
anyway better go shower and dress, and stock up on water for the parade - supposed to be 99F today and humid
enjoy your parade uusue.
lute
ok, so I go to the PB.
fresh coffee and welsh cakes in there for you
I need more coffee. I was trying to figure out why Annie was cluing to Ruru when he isn't here.
lo8 - lo4/4 + the loch **** monter
Molly, am I in the twilight zone...when did I clue to ruru?
ah, not cluing to ru - talking about ru colour
what are welsh cakes like??/
You didn't Annie. You were cluing an ru word. My density.
LOL, okay, I was worried there for a while
welsh cakes are griddle cakes with currants in them, sprinkled with sugar - yum
They are like scones Red.
probably better with tea than coffee but I don't think many of you US folk drink tea, do you?
Ooooh sounds super. I want them1!!!
I drink tea on occasion, but I am a coffee freak...
I only drink tea when I'm sick.
really easy to make Red - just google the recipe
I don't drink tea at all LOL
down to 200, need lunch - bbl

Is there a Li4 today?
yes, licketyis up

I think I shall go there later, as I would love to finish this thing! now with 212 left....but lots of day.
hi red - this is a nice one to tackle without for a while, but definitely need to go to it eventually (if you're like me and missing all the plurals).
I am so happy we have a big grid on a holiday!
there are a lot of plurals. I like to go Li**less, but then again I usually dont finish...
am plodding along . . . and adding 's" to EVERYTHING! LOL

If you buy bananas or avocados before they are ripe, there won't be any left by the time they are ripe. If you buy them ripe, they rot before they are eaten.

and the lo8/50 is the lo4/6 before it + the same monster
tx glan!!
not seeing that lo 6 though, nor the gn 6 that someone called last night
gn + vowel + not bro
lo6 - pl of the lo5
what the doctor does without the dia
found that one on my own -- pulled it out of the deep recesses of my brain! LOL
good clue, glan!
ty gor the gn
i'd appreciate a clue for the lo7/36
guess I don't have that lo 5
lo5 builds off the lo4 - a person on their own
more than one, glan -- lo7 most sluggish
ty glan
and lo7: not shorties LOL
i have not shorties
lol
thinking about most sluggish, slowly
lo7 starts with "big chunk of firewood"
ok, down to 116 -- need to run errands -- BBL -- good to see you all! *poof*
have the lo now ty une
bye
there are some lo4 stretches for some of those l's
I have all the Lu and Lo now, just the Li to go
6 words about the li4....
Ls licked
ooh just found the french lord of the manor
* se 8-9
i have the italian men - si6 & 7
Wow!....thats the S's done!!!
ok -- 298 down and off to lickety
clue for the is5/12?
Sounds like what you do when you put your lips together and blow
think that's the 5/10
missing 2 en's - the 6 and the 5/12
en5/12 - follow
found the 6
en6 - a bit like the gn6
ty glan - thought of it but didn't try it because I didn't see it -- should know better!
do you have the other is5?
A kleenex is a t*****
glant, don't make a big is5 out of it!
ty ty - i was starting at biottom left
a clue for the fe 7-8, please?
i think thye are a kind of mineral
mineral ending anyways
guess it's not feldspar!
ending is si4/4
a new mineral named after the actor who played mr roper
ty got them
if it isn's a ***ony, it's a misdemeanor + engineers can be found on building ****s
8 I words beginning with the hot smoother!!!!
ir4 + the loch **** monster - really?
sg
Glant, that is Mom, the queen of i4ing : )
We call Mom Her I8. : )
:-)
in 7-8, please?
no 4/4 the one rite after the no 8 plz
no8 pls
it's a babblet, ivesy - endis in a vowel
ah ty cyber
a moot point...for no8
ty flosey
164,trying to get to 100 left before I go off to a bbq
will settle for 150 left
in 7 following motionless, please?
didn't know there were so many pressing words! or nonwords?
don't have it nan
in7...like a mineral ending
"I KNOW A PLACE"....BAD PUN
ty flosey
Peri, there are two no8s.
oh, ty Molls. looking for the other now. I hate non words
initest? - no

no7 ..and no 8....follow your nose
may I pls have a definition or origin of the other no8 :)
in6 nonword - in a hurry

my nose is not moving :)
yay for glant
if you are very worried you have a ne8
You have two of these in your nose
warts ?
ty molly
The openings
so I do,tytyty everyone. I was looking for another non word. I am easily confused
well i thought it was funny flosey
ty
not getting the clue for the ne8
it isnt Flosey,,,,,i'm her son.....mum insists i tell people....just in case i say ...the wrong thing
:-)
ne 8: condition we all suffer from? lol
do you have the ne6/21 peri?
all psychological considtions are oses
ne6.... an atomic particle
hi floseys son
ne8.....think woody allen's personality
ne 8: latin brain + sibling
and if you extend the atomic pasrticle into a pschological condiotion you have an ne8
hi giant
first lo 8, please?
ty for ne8
the state of extreme wood pieces
canadian actor.....greene, and scottish monster
bl to finish
for lo8
really? -- ty glan
so many scottish monster words its unbelieveable
See my wood pile? It's the lo8. : D
and ty flosey - didn't have that one either
np
or5....both?
orete
missing...
these grids would be funner if they would stick to trueier words
or5 - a kind of root used in pomander making
change 3rd letter for other or5/10
or 5 chuck n*****
Good clue Ivesy
ty
ty molly:)
orres
yw
got'em both....ty
Almost, son of Flosey
trueness <-- cybernan
one thing i hate about summer... people thinking whole neighbor hood wants to hear their music
or their lawnmower....during my dinner
summer? you have summer?
*green with envy*
today and for the rest of the week we have summer - temps ranging from 80 to 90 F
14C here - mind you, the rain STOPPED about an hour ago - sky is darkening again now
was like that when i left toronto on saturday
apparently the jetstream is in th wrong place
long hot summer it seems this year.. 85 already high of 90 today
it should be over iceland and it's over us
cold wet summer here
ne 7, please? - brain quit with the brain disorder
add a consonant to the atomic particle
we are cooking here in central ontario,30 c and rising
a bomb...that destroys no buildings
actually this may be the atomic particle
the ne6 may be something in the brain
supposed to rain today.. oh yeaa... all the people under the tent at the picnic.... one fart and the picnic breaks up lol
that connects with a synapse
supposed to hit 30 here today, crossy and 40 by the weekend
i am afraid to look at this coming weekend..lets see..
no idea glan - figured it had to do with the brain though
it will rain sat, i have the day off
looks like friday will be our hot one at 35-40c
any clues for that last neurotic word?
I think The Pointer Sisters have a song called Ne7 Dance
newtrawn
apparently we just get greyness and showers today and tomorrow and then serious rain Fri/sat/sun - some week off this has been

watched the sun set through the towers of the GGB last night, ru
this morning, watched the fog burn off Mt Tam from friends couch with a cup of coffee
gorgeous
I was in SF yesterday too. it was gorgeous .. how nice.. a beautiful day for you
it was freakin awesome - bright, sunny, mid 60s
My friend is renting an apt in Sausalito with a view for $1800.. her rent on California st in SF is going up 38% she has to move out
I have been very lucky with most of my travels out having great weather, I may be in for disillusionment soon
85f and climbing..ugh...melting..crossy is melting....
or trying to rent an apt in Sausalito
has her place on CA st rented yet? would I want it? ; )
it was 2,000 per month and it's going up from there.. nice neighborhood though
I want around 2500
you look around Noe Valley ?
well, want cheaper... but realistically know I am looking at about 2500
wow!!10,000 down and 900 a month will get you a house here! that is some expensive rentals you have there
Noe Valley is almost 3000 for small ugly 1 BRs
oh.. crap
Try East Bay hills
same high rental $$ in NYC
that's the low end crossie
that is insane
yes, rents have sky-rocketed in the past 2 months... right in front of my eyes... sucks
i had the down payment so ended up buying, my mortgage etc. is < than rent
shirl - SF now surpasses NYC (per the NYT) with high rents
yes... twitter moved to SF and all hell broke loose in rents
i know, have friends in SF
will sell my soul for ts clues!!!
swriously, ru - when is her old place available, can I get a first dibs?
you have a soul?
only comparable market we have here is in toronto what has 1% vacancy in detached homes atm so small grubby starter home fixer uppers are going for a min of 550,000 and they often go over the asking price by 1-300,000 in a bidding war
ouch
my soul is lovey ; )

hurry ru, I'll clue you home if you get with it ; )
bbs.. need a bit of a break
he7 would help
chuckie is 10.. so in people years, htat is ?
he - ends in location with double consonant in middle
he7 is weird - mineral ending
if chuckie is a dog he's 70
if cat, 9 x that ; )
chuckie is a cat
he + plural letter + location, like a web location maybe
Hello all. Does this mean my 5 yr old dog is like 45 years? Oh wow.
35 red
and sammy is 7.. no wonder the pioor babies are getting grey
His mule and eyes are already graying...

ty kje - another mineral
followers of shock jock Howard

lol hh
Great clue Harry : )
ty kje
yw
any clues for the ts's?
ts + minerals
ts #2 - t + so5
ts#3 - ts + viral infection like a cold + plural
ts#2 - can just change last vowel from ts #1
ts#3 - change first vowel from ts#2
# 1 and # 2 could be the same -- don't see another
ts#3 just change first vowel from #2
all I've got are the yiddishisms
there are 3 - all very similar
hating these ins
ts#1 - t + wounds/lesions/etc
ts#2 - change last vowel
got the first one, ty kje but not seeing the others
ts#3 - change first vowel of ts#2
OK - I have the 3. they're all the same yiddish word, I think, meaning troubles
which do you need ru?
ah -- have them now -- ty again
yes, just all diff spellings
first in 7.28
yw
i + not yes + location
first hu 5, please?
(mineral ending)
hu - anagram pains
like the newspapaer empire with different spelling
I hate that one.. I always miss it
sorry
thank you

I knew it would take me eo 4/4 to finish grid so I quit after finding 195 words.Now here is a story of clues. One time I had a little tiny accident with an ir 4/4ing board.The re6/21 of my accident was a broken index finger. My finger got jammed while trying to fold the board.Boy did that st5/14!When it first happened, it fe 4/7 like I had lo 4/4 a finger for su 4/5 and that it was a go5/14. I sh 4/5 my eyes in fear of what I may see when I looked down.But no4/4 of that happened When I looked down, I was glad to see finger was not go4/6. There was not even a sl 4/4 in my skin and no blood.I was not alo4/4 when it happened.My husband was a he 4/5 and raced me to the ER.Husband was so st 6/18ed about getting me to the ER quickly that he used his horn as a si 5/10 and he beeped it whenever someone was in front of him.I gave him a st5/10 look since I believed that we were going to get into a car accident.Fortunately,I wasn't at the hospital for too lo 4/6. The doctor se 4/4 me home with my finger re 4/4ing in a splint.My finger was so4/4 after that,but it finally healed and got st 6/24 again. I do hope you have found more words to add to your li 4/4, at least the easy on4/4.I am going to get off my tu4/6ie now go watch "The Untouchables", a movie about Eliot Ne 4/4. I will retu4/5 to this websi 4/4 later on toni4/4 before I reti4/4 for the re4/4 of the evening. By the way,no4/4 of my story was tr4/5. It was all made up.

making progress now
Hello sammysmom!How are you doing?Welcome to grid
fine here min , and you?? just plugging along... a lazy day
:-))) Just signed back into Babble and there was a story from Min.... thanks ! p.s. I am very relieved that most of your stories are "made up".... or you'd be in very bad shape by now, and your picture says otherwise! :-))
first re 7 help please
never mind
I am out of order
ugh
wow !! how nice to be pampered.... son just brought me a big glass of canada dry ginger ale( my favorite kind) over ice with 2 huge lemon wedges......
Gold star to SMom's son
do suppose he knows i have in in the will?
Ru, why don't you copy and paste into Lickety?
too much hassle
Not as much hassle as doing your own list. And nothing is out of order
I don't think highlighting your word list, copying and bulk adding in Lickety is much trouble at all.
i'm old-fashioned
I tried pasting to lickety and it didn't work for me
Hi I'm back
Didn't work? You click on Bulk Add/Grab at the top of Lickety and then paste them in the box at the bottom. Poof, all words in order.
hi annie
Hi Annie
i'm missing a million s's
what are the stats for the middle right s? (and most of you need to go to the penalty box....)
Ty for that bulk/add Molly! I never knew it existed, and here I've been typing words twice! grrr
hi golfnut.... :-)) Did you get that terrible storm yesterday afternoon ??
hi Diane, yes, but think it was worse elsewhere. We missed the tornado. and the hail,was small
lots of rain though!
Red Deer really got it!.... we just had the "fringe" winds, some thunder and then heavy rain for a short while before it settled into a nicer rain.
there was a tornado in Alberta?
several smaller ones, Bugsaw...mostly in farm areas... a few outbuildings etc. were damaged
actually, Alberta had 5 tornados yesterday!
A question, golfnut... are you male or female ? because a golfnut could be either !
Ever since I saw Wizard of Oz as a little kid, I have been frightened of tornados but never of Alberta
female:)
I know where you work, but that could also be either/or :-)
golfnut has a pink shirt on diane so she is female
We had a very bad tornado 30 years ago, this July 29....
lol Bug, Alberta averages 19 tornados a year! A fact I actually had to look up because I didn't believe it either! But it usually hits all those opens fields we have
was that the one in Edmonton? that was 30 years ago???
I think I remember that one diane. It hit a trailer court where a neighbour's sister lived. He was frantic for hours not knowing if she was safe.
and the "belt" where golfnut lives now, and was my hometown used to get some awesome storms, and we saw many funnel clouds, but none of the larger ones ever touched down.
yes, in Edmonton.... many deaths. ... most of the deaths in the trailer court :-(
OOOOPS that was only 25 years ago.... it was my daughter's 5th anniversary..... sorry
any help with the su 8 please?
bad one at Pine Lake a few years ago too, hit a campground
su8 - the things you ut up against a loan?
sorry ruru,... I have no 8's at all yet.
yes, that one was bad too, golfnut.
thank you glant
I was golfing at the time for that one, we could see it building, such green clouds, then veered off. About 1/2 hour later they came and got all the hospital personnel off the golf course
ty Glant
help with re7/28 or re7/32?
scary.... we had friends there too. And, I agree with the cloud colour... ominous and wild. We watched the one 25 years ago from our front step... it was about 5 miles away and followed a path between us ( Sherwood Park ) and Edmonton.... those big power lines crumpled like matchsticks !
wow
hi everyone. el6 the first lease?
we had no idea of the devastation it was doing.... we should have been in the basement I think !!
like sewage but without the FF cos
RE 7/32 the re... of the tornado was complete devastation. singlular and plural
TY golfnut - slap me with a fish
good clue..... was going to say very well versed in a foreign language, without the F
lol smack ya with a herring!
thanks glan
drats... but that would not have worked..... there's that "e" to deal with sorry
I guess I'd better get busy with the grid.... grandson driving up from Calgary tomorrow and I have to do some baking.... 17 year old grandsons love Grandma's baking !!
yes they do :)
:-))
8 yr olds appreciate it too LOL
umm, so do almost 60 yr olds from Innisfail:) he can stop by here on his way home! hehe
all my grandkids do !
i'd give anything for my grandma's baked goods :( god rest her soul
LOL golfnut ! I missed cooking and baking for all the kids when they were home... NOT as much fun for just two people, so I just continued with the baking and shared it.... easy solution ! ( we have 10 grandkids )
hu6 the last?
I'm heading down to Innisfail sometime this summer to meet up with a niece and a couple of friends.... I'll look you up ! ...I'll even bring cookies :-)
to go very quickly indeed
sorry, to con people
or make them go fast
awesome! would love to meet you:)

congrats glantrell.
would anybody like a clue before I depart?
Wow, congrats Glantrell!!!! I have 160 left!!!!
I usually open the grid just before bedtime ( 11:00 p.m. my time ).... skim through and try to get nbt, then go to bed and sleep on it !
the flip is at 6am here
my flip is at 1:00 am y time, I think. I have not been up in ages for it!
so i do a bit before breakfast/work, then more at teatime
and usually finish mid evening
fireflies. started only 8 hours ago.
woo hoo mixi
I've been making an effort to finish lately. Congrats Mixi!!!!
did 100 words before tennis.
right, i'm off to do something constructive
bye now, Glant
bye, Glant
Wow its like I am having breakfast all over again. Hi annie.
Done.
Hi red :)
Congrats Annie! I have 148 left.
anyone like a clue before I sit down and watch the Yankee game?
Good clue for re7/28 Annie. Someone clued it as eye drops earlier and I was : O
thanks Molly
okay, you smarties, I'm out. Bye.
the first no8 please?
A moot point.
ah tthanks
Cos, no fireworks here either. I guess we will have to be like the oldsters and watch them on TV. : D
lol ill prob be watching the presidents miniseries on history channel
or watch the firewoksin the grid :)
Megan Hilty from Smash is going to be on the PBS "A Capitol 4th". : )
ah i always forget about pbs's 4th specials
Pops Goes the 4th with the Boston Pops Orchestra is my fave. On A&E, I think
You can see glimpses of all the people who braved the crowds and the heat to go down to DC for the show. It should be even worse this year since they canceled the local fireworks.
Ooo, that is good too Mag. I will switch back and forth.
i went to thenational firework show in dc in 2001
not worth the effort :)
All the getting there and finding a spot and waiting and waiting is just not worth it. I don't know how people do it with kids.
and i went to one in stone mountain, ga in 2004... even bigger headache. no place to move. strollers everywhere
I can't handle crowds.
on6 please?
crowds are awful
on + hurry
thanks
Stone Mountain is a gorgeous place, on a less crowded day.
ts clues?
wa watching the segment on william howard taft. what a sad story
t + acid gives you canker ***** in your mouth
thx molly
That is a sad story. I love that Presidents series on History.
Then change the last vowel Shirl.
all day marathon. never seen before so im glad i have no plans today lol
t + Tom Cruise's kid, plural
thx again
evening all - a little monster tonight
Hi Kazz
Hi Molly - won't be here long - hubby already in bed - with flu, I think
Sounds like a good reason not to go to bed ..
99° and possibility of thunder storms right around fireworks time. Two great reasons NOT to be downtown today.
I've always liked fireworks, but I haven't left the house to watch them since my kids were small ..
I am back again - had to do him a lemsip
We have a place close by, where we can see them...far from the maddening crowd...but they are canceled this year, due to the severe storms we had last Friday.
Hey all, they are setting them off in my parking lot....loud and rainy but I like them, just hope no one gets hu**.
and may I beg for a clue for the E on the bottom row?
e plus musical instrument
Thank you Kaer, down to 133...
i have 166 left
ooooh I apologie the last letter of my alphabet key is broken and so I am without that letter unless I cut and paste.
don't worry i have been called a lot worse than that
I always forget its broken.
i had a friend who 'mended' his keyboard using superglue
I need to hav it checed out but I've been really busy and stressed, thankfully it is that letter and not E...or A..
this is going really slowly - might try for a few more and then head off
see you later!
ha ha got all the u's
good for U!
fe7?
fe 7: f + letter before M + an archaeological dig is called a **** (then plural for 8)
thx stid
yw hope you are well.
I am trying to get to 100 before listing, but might give up sooner.
i'm fine, my monkeys are tired and hot
it's relatively warm here, too -- about 70 for the first time in weeks... did some gardening earlier, will go out again in half an hour or so when the garden is in shade again.
thanks for the f, stid
any time kazzer
how is lovely chard today?
2nd t last tr8 please? i have the gerund ending

Which I think is what kazzer is clueing
thanks kaz 8's done
go cos go!
not really - we have had some heavy showers in the afternoon but i am hoping it will be sunshine and some showers for the next few days
I like to have showers in the morning, then a nice afternoon... LOL but a mix is preferable to all-day clouds!
i don't usually watch wimbledon - but i have watched more this year than i have ever before - saw some of the ladies and some of Mr Murray
fireworks
I don't know who was playing, seems I wander past when it's women's singles.
YAY cos!
*stands by with extinguisher just in case*
i am on 123 - struggling badly. WTG Cos
se8?
we live about 170 miles west of London
i only have 7 8s and 1 9
that's what I remember from looking at maps, kazzer -- but wasn't sure of the terrain in between. Here, in Washington the weather can be very similar all over puget sound, but go toward (or over) the mountains and climate and weather are really different.
I don't have the se 8 yet either.
*waits for cos to help*
sorry distracted by the tv hmm lemme seee
se8 is a weird spelling of Spanish Mr.
yeah i was trying to think of how to say that molly. perfect!
i keep trying that ...
Oh, it's French, but looks like the spanish
se + eskimos live in **loo, money in UK are called ***o*
LOL thanks Molly
no. sorry. that isnt right.
Good clue Cos
it means "lord" as in of the manor...
i thnk i forgot a letter in the clue

Yeah well we'll put that right up there with reynard and poinard...as in words most people don't know.

fe7...oops, I ***l down + this game is on a web ****

*gives sammysmom popsicles*
lu8?
its a type of mineral fe plus consonant and the word for place and plural for 8
my hubby had the heating on today!!!!!
lu8...take the first letter off of what gives you celiac disease and then add "one who is" suffix
SMom what are you doing out in this miserable heat?

Sorry I misunderstood ferrous metal. I got kicked out of The Smarty Pants Club. : P
:P - the first wasn't even ferrous :) it was literary, and _I_ was kicked out of the literary club
are you kidding me? ir8 is a real word? sheesh
Une, Une, get a hold of yourself. Since when are "real words" in Babble grids?
i know -- blame it on the heat . . .
*Hands Une a spritzer filled with ice water*
wish you could give a MAJOR spritz to my yard! LOL
I have been watering my garden double time, and it still looks thirsty.
the poor farmers . . . they're now comparing it to the drought of 2007 when they offered free counseling to the farmers
Farmers have it rough.
my garden can't stay wet more than 24 hrs with this heat . . . ugh
at least watering's making the birds happy :-)
having to keep any eye out for the neighborhood tuxedo cat who thinks I set up cooling stations for th birds just so he has plentiful snacks . . .
*the
I have a cat like that in my neighborhood. He likes to hang around the spot where I put seed out for the birds. Beast.
... smart cat...
it's like kitty take-out...
I thought that was Chinese food
hi all, just back from a delicious bbq
yes.. chinese chicken pigeon
i need a new icon
way too many i words today
Hi Peri
hey Molls
I am still cooling down from cooking on the grill. Not a good day for it, but it's a tradition with my clan.
my friend,Mary made grilled steaks and grilled portobello mushrooms. I had the mushrooms. they were delish
what did you have to eat, Molls?
Sounds like a nice meal.
she also made mashed potatoes, baked beans, corn on the cob and a lovely salad. I had seconds of everything :)
I love home made mashed potatoes
Traditional 4th fare. Hambergers, hot dogs, pasta salad, corn on the cob. We made some ice cream today too. Awesome stuff.
sounds like a lovely meal, Molls.
ok! first pass through the list. 25 to go.
home made ice cream, yum
Good work, Harry.
148 left here
not sure I'll do any more on this. gonna try to see some real firewroks instead :)
bye!
I'm still bummed that our fireworks are canceled. It won't feel like 4th of July without them.
I think the boston pops will still have their fireworks. should be on tv at 10 pm I think
I didn't hear a single piece of fireworks go off last night.. loved it
PBS has a great special from DC. I will watch that. I will feel like a Grandma watching fireworks on TV though.
whata time is that Molls
I'm not sure. It's usually on at ten when we get home from the real fireworks.
Megan Hilty from Smash is going to be in the show this year.
oh, I must watch then
she is the blonde, right?
1,000 fine for sparklers here!
Yes, or as I say, the "real talent" on the show. Meow.
*Hides sparklers*
yet stores sell them! go figure
I love sparklers
they scare me for some reason lol
i like the colored balls u set on fire aand then the smoke is its color
I miss my old neighborhood. Lots of people set off their own fireworks.
my neighbors when i was a kid they would always chip in withmy dad and one of them would drive to indiana to buy fireworks and split with the neighbors
Here's to the good old days : )
now ill become who i used to mock.. watch them on tv
Oh me too Cos. I have never stayed home and watched fireworks on TV. If I have to act like a Grandma, I should at least have a grandkid to bounce on my knee.
ill bounce my cats on my knees!
holy monkeys this is a big grid.
Hey Jes
are you the keymaster?
whoops that was for an IM lol
woo hoo nbt
No, I am Zuul
Well done Harp
There is no Dana. Only Zuul :)
Happy 4th everyone on this side of the pond.
Happy 4th Blue
TY:)
Wait, maybe I'm Vince Clortho
hey jes -- the grid is not bad through about halfway. Then I bogged down big-time.
and lickety is available, I am heading there now with 121 to go.
Us undone
Ts toppled
I am certain that I entered most of these earlier...
first in8 pls
Just remember, if you find a word, you can stop looking for it if you want to
LOL thanks BR (a good tip, and one I often need...)
don't have it peri
in + vowel + there are many web ***** to look things up
thanks molly
ty Molls
new word for me
Hi mama, have you sent words to clues?
a few, mother -- how is your day going?
just packed and everything is good to go. Murphy knows and has an upset tummy as a result. Good lord.
poor puppy!
He's just too aware for his own good. Make sure he doesn't hide your shoes twixt now and then!
I put tomorrows socks well back from edges so those don't disappear. I made a cake with fluffy frosting that the boys can eat. You can either take it to your house or have them come by and have dessert. The cake is not a safe one for you, unfortunately.
good thinking! LOL I will hold it hostage so they visit...
I'll bring my own vittles anyway.
Okay. There is a rack of baby pork ribs you can bake if you want.
:-) we'll see. I am having to stay pretty non-fat at the moment. Mostly rice and veggies right now.
you're leaving your poor puppy behind? sad puppy.
Sad us. No room at most inns for puppy guys as heavy as ours. 20 pounds seems to be a favorite size for most lodgings. Ours is worth 4 of those.
yes, but puppy gets me while they are gone and I am WAY more fun (taught him to play soccer, for example)
*wicked daughter look*
heh. i ran into the same issue with apartments when i tried to live in seattle...
does he get along with yours, stid?
Yes, if we said we had four dogs, maybe we could pull it off.
no idea, we haven't let them be together yet -- long story, will tell you another time.
they probably have a limit on how many you can have too :P
going to try them together this time? or are you house sitting as well as puppy sitting?
house sitting
nom nom! home made croissants :)
ah, the amazing bruce strikes again?
Good evening to my fellow babblers! How is everyone?
yes ma'am :)
By the way, congratulations to all the finishers! YAY!
well, min, and yourself?
hey min! welcome to the grid!
amazing bruce and supertom should have a bake-off someday...
where would we find unbiased judges?
I am doing well jessdraggon.I gave up on grid and put a story into my profile if anyone wants to read story.
Thanks stidmama!
i'd be happy to sample it all!
Rs removed... I can be unbiased... LOL but I can't eat most things. I think maybe we could get Min to do it? *looks hopefully at Min*
LOL and DOREN! ((hugs))
Hi Min
Hi dianedecoder! How are you doing? Welcome to grid
ooooh!!!! *choclits for diane*
Thank you and your story gave me several words, such as tu 4/6 :-)
how are you? is that cutie in your profile your great-grand? she's sweet...
pb choclits ?? or just nummy ones... Mmmmm
stid,what do U want me to do? I missed conversation.
yw dianedecoder
join us in judging a bake-off between stid's tom and my bruce :)
nummy choclits -- I haven't seen you in FOREVER
yes stid.... she is now 1 year old and walking.... so much fun and a very good baby.
Mother one of the OR 5/10 is that perfume root I am so allergic to!
so happy for your family. Must be nice to have "gotten through" two generations already. *wistful kids-still-here mama look*
really in the can "can they go so I can miss them" phase, aren't you, stid? :D
yes, jes -- it's been a hard week already. Feeling the effects of full adolescence right now. *sigh*
I must add a few newer pictures to my flickr site.
is that NO 8 fishy? my last N word
oh. yes. It is fishy.
You breathe through them
*FISH SLAP* >*)--(((---<<
LOL thanks Molly
thanks molly
ack. NOT my last N word. NE 6/8/7 series please? a nudge, a push, a shove...
A particle, a state of mental distress, a kind of bomb
Hi kids. A big grid so I will dive in and type away for a bit.

No Mama yet. Maybe she's sleeping with the other 6 sibs and these 2 snuck out.
bonsoir, chere Une! comment ca va? are there fireworks where you are?
thanks again, molly
I would like associate myself with jes' comment...
hey, stid -- will be fireworks at the big downtown display at the river but no residential stuff -- severe drought . . .
All for me now. Talk to you latter mama.
figured they might have done something like that Une.
g'night, stidg, travel safely!
tx for the he7 molly
Wish we had a ban... there are already some M80s going off.
talk to you later Mother
stid, that doesn't mean there weren't a bunch of idiots selling them at interstate exits :-(
I hear local fireworks too--isolated ones. Closest "show" is 8 miles away.
yep, I know. But it at least diminishes how many idiots are setting them off (because the less idiot among them obey the ban).
We are cose enough to PA that people drive an hour south and buy them legally there.
hope so -- it would take so little at this point to start a fire . . .
ditto here, scrabs, and at the KY bordre
We need rain too.
*border
It is legal for non-tribal members to purchase fireworks on tribal lands... illegal to set them off anywhere else without a special permit. Of course that doesn't stop most people.
it's awful here -- 100 every day and everything's brown . ..
apparently it's raining where carleekat is. saw a lovely photo on fb. LOL
I saw that too, Stid.
okay, help with my last four LO words.. LO 7/8, and the other two 8s please...
We had rain on Monday but overall we are behind.
we have very strict fireworks laws here in our province, and each community can even enlarge upon those laws as they choose.
nary a drop in a month . . .
lo7 not shorties :-)
lo7 most sluggish
red flannel ones, even !!
had the not shorties...
Are you permitted to water your gardens?
lo8 quality of length, ending in loch ****
thanks, unea
got hte length, thanks
so far scrabs but neighboring county starting rationing a week ago
still working on the sluggish one...
thanks again, unea
yw jes :-)
go across the top row, stid
got the lo 7 sluggish
so now I need the first and last LO 8 please?
This is a cool grid--we have -ness, -ing, -iest..
lo8 quality of being sluggish, ending in loch ****
holy crap scrab! i had totally missed the -ing!
rofl jes! took me a while too
No way, jes.
have at it, jes!! LOL
If you are bereft, you are for****. The state of that word, whatever that means.
and there is -ist, and -est...you name the suffix, I think it's here
way. i am quite oblivious at times...
thanks again molly
tx again, molly!!
ACK! got the first LO 8 *sigh* *facepalm*
Ls licked
go, stiddy!!
helter is too a word! crazy dictionary...
the last iR 8 before the plural clothing flatters?
put an ess in front of that, jes
hey annie!
And Annie has arrived.
hi annie :) welcome to the chaos of massive-grid night :)
I am passing through..hope everyone had a nice 4th
tolerable so far, annie -- you?
pretty good, watching the Macy's fireworks from my window
how cool, annie!
I always laugh in the summer. I shower in the morning to wake up, put on sunscreen, and sometimes bug spray, sweat all day, shower in the evening to wipe off the grime...
that does sound lovely, annie
Somebody just set off a firecracker and I jumped, it was so loud
me too, scrabbs
Nice view, Annie.
Grr, more loud pops.
I am going to say goodnight now and read. No more pops for Scrabbs. Bye dear babblers
I might resort to a beer later... I hate incendiaries. Hoses hooked up to house, ready to go. Not usually a problem... but it's not my cup of tea.
gnite, annie!
sweet dreams annie
It is the animals I worry about--domestic and wild--hearing the booms.
Crap, the baby raccoons are at the other end of my deck!
one of my 3 is sooo scared of loud noises!
Sleep wel, Annie.
yep. speaking of critters, need to give worf his gagh.
Who and what?
i dislike the loud sounds too. they scare the cats and me and it sounds like war, which is obviously the idea.
Now I smell the burned chemicals
worf = klingon turtle; gagh = wriggling worms
LOL
lol
a couple of new babble words perhaps.... make as much sense as some in the grid today.
GN please?
I tried gneiss
eons
I did too... and even tried spelling it wrong. NO idea.
as in an an affliction.... the end of many medical words
Yep, I tried it eons ago.
g + not yes + not bro
your medical future: progn****
the end of psych****
ah, the quality of wisdom. clearly not one I have! LOL thanks cos and diane and Une
a clue flurry!
:)
I passed halfway so it's time to go to bed. See you tomorrow.
sweet dreams scrabs. (((hugs))) see you again soon
good night Scrabbler.... sleep well
sleep well, scrabbs!
fw (the quiet, safe kind)
thank ou all for the help
brb phone
congrats, stiddy
way to go, stid.... I have 4 left !
and then I want to go watch the ballgame
*wander in* yay stid! *wander back out*
no8/45 please?
and fw ....and my last word was appropriate.
nm got it!!
congrats, diane!
that's the one that should be 2 words.. and if you just got it, .... is is ONE ! LOL
my last word was us 6/24 and with that, I'll follow them out of the game. Night night to everyone.
I agree, it should be two words, or at least hyphenated.
agreed.... but who are we to say ? lol
Enjoy your evening Diane
any clues for this word or words?
is the third letter approx in the middle of the alphabet?
some very strange words in here today.... e.g. te 8/40 ...seems redundant.
lol
one of those stupid words
Thanks Molly... goodnight to you :-)
I probably don't belong here, in the non-fireworks loving crowd. : D
I love them too
oh you always belong, molly. you too cos.
one of the very few things I can hear without a hearing aid so yeah I like them lol
The DC show is just amazing.
a few years in d.c. we observed the fireworks from the newsweek offices. lots of comforts and none of the noise.
I would love to watch them from a nice, luxury boat on the river.
or some other news organization william worked for
i watched them on a river in indiana beach on a boat. it was gorgeous
We Americans sure do celebrate our independence well. : D
The noise from all the fireworks is so wonderful :)
and we could see 2 sets of mortars from our neighborhood.
happy 4th to the US peeps :)
Yay! Another fireworks lover. Happy 4th Seain.
i really do love fireworks :)
I miss the smell
I imagine it was extra crowded on The Mall, as so many suburban shows were canceled.
i stayed at home
i've not seen the mall ones much since i moved off of capitol hill.
I love the smell of sparklers and fireworks.
yuck
I had drunk neighbors blowing stuff up at 1am; that was fun.
i got criticized by the neighbor's 3-yr-old for being barefoot and for standing in the street. LOL
also, hi everyone!
evening, viajes
3-year-olds can be such task masters. : )
lol i do that all the time
barefoot in the streets
that they can indeed, Molly :)
get drunk and set off fireworks all night or run barefoot in the street, cos?
though, i suppose those are not mutually exclusive
actually all of the above lol
or below in this case
hehehe
Both sound good to me. *Passes Via a grumpy old lady cup of tea*
I support barefootedness pretty much any time. Loud noises in residential neighborhoods, not so much.
(I was trying to watch a movie, dagnammit!)
*spikes tea*
Loud noises never distract me from movies :P
: D Cos!
it kept making me jump
YAY barefootedness!
was it a scary movie?
*Starts looking for a nice, quiet, Seniors neighborhood for Via to move to*
my grandma is 84, she is moving out of her retirement community and into my aunts apartment becase she thinks her neighbors are too old and boring
she says these people have no life and are just sitting and waiting to die. she wants to live
I'm not old and boring! I just don't like fireworks.
good for her!
Good for Grandma. I want to be just like her when I'm that age.
didnt mean to call u old and boring. just thought that kinda related to this topic lol
no, it was Molly calling me old and boring
She's right Cos. I got a taste of retirement communities and elders homes before my parents passed. A lot of them are just sitting around waiting to die.
now if it was on a beach in miami......
I wonder what it would be like to set up a retirement community only for those who still had some gusto for life. Probably fun.
my parents were in a lively community when they were both alive. They were involved in many new hobbies that they developed after moving in there. We loved to visit and enjoyed being a part of their activities there
That's great, Teach. Good for them.
i've always thought that when my closest friends and I are old it would be fun if we could all live together.
my father lives in a gated community on a florida golf course. everyone drives golf carts and everything they need is in the 'community.' it's good for him, but i dislike that there is no diversity.
i dislike my father too.
At the rate Social Security is going, we are all going to be living in huts when we are elders.
that will surely be me.
I would be happy to live in the hut next door to yours, Queen Mab. : )
the feeling is mutual, molly.
Call it Babbleland and I'm in.
done
We'll build a patio and call it the PB
and we'll eat sweets whenever we want to.
Cos does that now, Mab. : )
I do, yes. lol
we'd need a brook through the grounds called babbling brook
I want to live on Naoi court
the box on my chocolate cake from the bakery says "artifically and authenetic flavor" lol
Oh, well if you are in on this, we will need a vineyard.
oh .. I'm not getting into the wine thing here again
http://tinyurl.com/chtreah - a 4th July Maxine pic for lbd.
