st 7
nbt
hi
NBT, need an 8 for nbs
and a 9
ditto :)
which 7 do u need?
i mean.. which do u have
st 7
darn ty anyway :)
tr7/8
nbt
ty for the tr7/8
raft
oops
st8
de7 if no one clued it already
tyvm jbp
tyvm for st8 too
nbt, don't usually stay up for the flip - good night all!
thanks tor, for the clue too
pe 7 if no one called it
tyvm got it jbp
need one more 7, one more 8 and the 9
st 8
oops sorry
qs: qu5 6 5 5 6
I don't think anyone's called pe 8?
is it related to the pe7
ty veda looking
Don't think so but I don't have pe7
pl of pe 6
pl or pt?
Silly me, it's pe 8/9 with plural.
nbs
ty ved
i don't have that yet ved... clue?
I think it's a child molester?
pr 7
pr or pe?
yes, it is a child molester
yes, veda - greek referring to male-male sex, usu with one being a minor.
and that took care of the 9, too...
Huh. didn't know it had a homosexual connotation.
NBS, NBT
sandusky not in the grid ..
neither is predator lol
tor (tsk tsk)
nor is pedophile
it is in that song from Hair...sol-do-mi
well you know, that was the greek way... sex with young boys/men was kind of common. pedophile comes from child love, this word has same start (child) but different ending. not a common word in today's usage.
kept seeing a phantom tr7, but then I realized it actually exists.
cause you know the greeks didn't marry women for love, just for like, children, i guess, and there was great separation between the sexes socially, so all the close emotional bonds were within the same sex, and so then...
not seeing it ugh
clue on the right side top r?

Hi Jili!
good to see you too swmbo
It is 3 AM here and I am working a night shift
I think I should know, but what kind of work, swmbo?
have come to a standstill with 38 to go
nurse. I am retired but I occasionally work in a nursing home when they are short. and they are alwasy short in the summer.
I have 33 to go
I thought probably nursing. Good for you.
And good for you having only 33 to go!
having a 40 year nursing school reunion next week, can't wait!
mind you, I am only 39...
*coughs*
the Jack Benny 39?
I'm only 39 too, but I have 14 years experience at it...
hi ruru
lol, me too, second time around
parts of me are thirty nine
39 plus tax ??
Hi bj! Nice to see you agian too!
hi jilli
LOL Brandyjack, I have muh more experince than you haha
*again
I decided to count backwards from 39. I haven't even been born yet.
jack Benny had the right idea. I actually feel about 23
that's great. I feel about 39.
I felt about 23 until this year and all of a sudden I caught up with my age....
Golf will do that to you , nan, lol.
some renewed joints would help

speaking of renewed joints....hello all
hi rose
Good, ruru.

pe and tr 8 -- missing, please?
tr8 is pl nan
nm -found the st 8
pe8, pe + **a* john letter + 1st vowel + abbreviation for street
tr 8/45 plural of tr 7/32 a tool of neptune
pe8 -- man with an attraction to boys
those were the ones I have -- was looking for the missing one -- it was st 8
lol, okay, sorry nan. misunderstood
put the s on the other end and you have the tr8
thanks for the st8
down to 20 -- will look for them tomorrow. Good night everyone :)
my clue for the pe8 was: your bike has pe*als, and if you make a mistake you rub it out with the end of your pencil but change the last letter to a consonant.

gnight nan

snoree should be a word. I was one.
As the victim of a sn6/18
i am one jilli
lol. i hear you sister, i hear you
which, ruru? The victim or the perp?
victim
my poor Don put up with me for as long as he could, then insisted i have a sleep study. that showed i had central sleep apnoea, which means my brain doesn't tell my lungs and respiratory muscles to work.
you have my sympathy
since i got my CPAP machine, all is quiet on the ossie front.
my dear departed had apnea too, but in those days it wasn't recognised.
lol, i used to sn5 so loudly, i woke myself up. was most indignant when that happened
do you think Ir** being in the grid is a sign that my housework is calling to me
I don't snore unless i'm congested
How embarrassing, granny!
nah katie, it's just a coincidence
Thanks granny I'll carry on then :)
it didn't really matter until i remarried.i was at one end of the house, the kids were at the other.
when we had our gathering in Olympia and four of us gals shared a hotel room, we were all told we sn6.
fireworks

new problem: husband hasa pneumonia again! when he woke up from his afternoon nap, he was feverish, trembly and making a funny noise in his chest. He didn't want me to, but I called emergency, a a doctor was here with in 20 minutes and put him on Amoxycillin right away.
Happily, since we spotted it in time, he doesn't have to go to the hospital
that's nothing to fool with ruby
getting old like this is very scary
well done, ruby. trying to keep them out of hospital is very difficult.
I nearly died from it
he is terrified of going back in, thinks he'll die there
he can't do much until he's really recovered
i know, ruby. everything falls apart.
getting old isn't for sissies
i thnk i found a gray hair the other day
lol welcome to the club cos
yes, rose, I'm still blushing about yesterday, but am being very careful today!
then i realized the sun was shining on it
on your head I hope?

lol yes
if it was on the other end i'd not be here. id be in my bathroom crying :P
LOL

wooooo hooo
I have grey on the sides of my head
ohyeah and gay pride
grey is sophisicated on other men
not me.
*wait till he's 55
lol... 22 more years
helpful hint - don't pull the grey hairs unless you want them to grow back and stick up above the rest in cute lil curls - voice of experience here... ;p
rbud, hey!!!! and i don't have much of a choice, all my hairs are silver.
{{rbud}}
picture me with my long brown hair, and a corona of fluffy grey... it wasn't pretty. it was the beautician's fault, she pulled them for me, lol
I felt like a dandelion
oh, dear. changed beautician, did we?
quit going, can't afford them any more, lol
but such a pretty dandelion. lol
I used to go now and then for trims, but now I do it or have hubs do it.
it's pretty long.
lol ty rbud :) same lesson when shaving then :)
and now I just proudly wear the greys, I've earned them all
i shld be lucky
I don't mind getting grey
ryan isnt gonna go grey. hes gonna have the other curse
oh..
lol. a few years back, i dyed my hair pink, in support of breast cancer day. ( in memory of my darling friend who died, aged 46, of breast cancer). fund raised nearly AUD$2,000. then i shaved my head for further money in support of the same fund. decided to stay honest.
you mean follically challenged cos?
yes yes....
not that its a bad thing
blessings on you, g'rose, that was a nice thing to do
aw yes very nice rose
I've never shaved my head
iii always try to raise money for alzheimers.. every year for their march
when I lost my hair from chemo, I had friends who wore turbans in solidarity
nah, rbud, cos. it's cheaper this way. lol. maybe some of Don's scottishness has rubbed off on me.
that's sweet ruby
ruru, it's the weirdest feeling. especially when you are out in the rain.
i bet
some men are very handsome bald
I wouldn't be one of them
although I might get a part in the new Munster's movie
my son is. he shaves his head, voluntarily, every weekend. doesn't have to cope with the curls.
herman?
you do know there's a new munsters show on tv this fall? on primetime. a remake.
noooooooo.......don't go there, ruru
grrr, when I move to the back of the house into my new bedroom, me and the dog out there are gonna go a few rounds... maybe a super soaker, plaster him up against his doghouse... lol, just kidding.
whew!! headed him off at the pass. okay, my friends..i'm outta here. see you at the flip.
he barks at everything!

I read it on your advice, and did enjoy it very much! It was a big slow for me at first, and then it really took off. I loved reading about old Boston
I have read all of Pearl's books. The Dante CLub was my favorite--set in Cambridge also.

I like reading about old Boston but I have never even been to Boston. Someday.

Interesting re4, crossy. I don't go by my real name out there, either...
hi amelu!
hi car! *waves* Happy Monday!
hi all
i am stuck. 60 to go and ugh.
Hi jmc!
i understand about wanting that 404 grid for your vacation. . .i was at a conference and then stuck on the road making a 2.5 drive in about 7 hours
Ugh. That sounds horrible!
i could have been a little fa**er but i got off the road and read for a while waiting for the traffic to clear up. . . i am still exhausted
I am sorry. That sounds so frustrating and exhausting. I am glad you got home safely though.
yes the traffic was going way to slow for anything to happen to me! haha
Was this yesterday?
yes
it is interesting amelu.but i think they are going after extra bogus accounts from the same i.p addy.i do not think they will bother us if our fb acct with our "pen name" is our only acct
howdy jmc
I concur, crossy. ~:o) I think we're safe.
nbt
and nbs
I need one more T from the center T of the first column. Any id4s?
Good for you jmc!
though my mrs and my son and i,all share a wireless modem and that shares a single i.p and we all have fb accts
pitchfork; attempted; and 3 points on a fork are what i have car
first half of this grid is easy.i expect to hit the wall any second now
Those are exactly the same ones for me jmc!! Figures!
hahaha well i tr5/12
pt of the 3 points.
ah pt the fork
I have both of those.
do not forget the st 8 ends with the same ending as sea gods pitchfork
ty amelu your clue came seconds after i figured it out!
I have that one thanks to you Crossy!
cool:))
I am so confused now!
car pt the fork one
Got the one I needed! It was the p/t of tr 5/10 from that T.
tr 7,5,5,6
The forks are from the lower T.
But thank you !!!!!
okay then to do some work! bbl
triple, car.
And now...it is THAT time. I wish you all a wonderful day! {{hugs}} to all!

and yes, crossy, I actually watched the landing last night, it was awesome!
9 months.could not believe it took 9 months
what is it? 355 million miles?
probably - I'd have to look it up but that is certainly in the right ballpark
good morning all
hi wv!
It's a happy day at Goddard Space Center here in our neck of the woods.
I haven't been able to catch the meteor showers for a very long time, due to cloudiness. >:o( (in the sky, not my head, lol)
Molly, I was afraid to watch last night, but then I did anyway, and I am so glad I did! What a thrill!
We haven't had an exciting "space moment" in a long time. I'm happy for the NASA folks. This is the result of a lot of hard work.
congrats indeed to all the boys and girls as NASA
Good morning all and how many words today and thanks

Hi everybody.
It's much less humid here today and I can think a bit better
we're currently @ 83%, bich
humidity? sheesh that's high
We're at 48%
yep. temp 84f, heat index 96f (and rising)
I could never live where you are. This is hot and humid enough for me
~:o)
today is an amazing day,sunny with the odd fluffy cloud,70f and a nice gentle breeze blowing off the bay:))
nice crossy. Does it stay warm up where you are through the month?
Glad you're having better weather, crossy!
(heat index @ 98f)
we have been way over our normal temps the last little while.this is a nice break back to normalcy
70-80f are the average norms for august here with the odd day pushing 90f.but last 2 -3 years we have seen dramatic changes
You and everyone else crossy. I'm thinking we need an additional room air conditioner in our house.
we never owned an ac before this year
my brother lives in henderson nevada and they had a day of 120f couple weeks ago!
but they have very little humidity
But everyone in Nevada has an AC. And, there's minimal humidity there.
We don't have central AC.
but can you imagine?? 120f?..you just run from ac to ac.the outdoors may as well be a lunar landscape for all the good it is at those temps
stats for the 4th column, 3rd row r, pls
I lived in Israel for a year. I traveled to the Negev once and it was about that.
huh?
4th/3rd is an e
it is indeed
sorry, 5th column r, third row
and so many r words,i have no idea what feeds off that one atm:(
I think it's to harvest.
yes, ty amelu
... what you do swith a book ...
ty amelu
ty dose
ahh!:)) q,s quashed:)
perr
ever notice,that when someone inadvertantly puts a word in the chog,no matter how unprobable it look,you will always give it a try anyways? lol
(heat index @ 99f) told you it was rising, lol.
... I was just making a noise like a cat with an accent ...
poor amelu,wish you were here,the window is wide open and the curtains are swaying the the breeze of the bay..sigh...almost sinful
where are you amelu?
It was rather nice this morning... I actually drove to work with the windows down... of course, 78 - 80 @ 7 am is probably quite warm to some...
Hi all... I wish it were cool enough to open my windows... air conditioning season is my least favorite
MS Gulf Coast.
wow..that's hot
humidity too?
currently 82%
maybe a big mosquito will fly in that open window at crossy's and bite him amelu
lol ruru
... no rain ... no mosquitos
rain? what is the rain stuff you speak of?
I have curly hair and there is no product that I can find that keeps it from frizzing out when the humidity is like this... it stays in a pony tail usually from May through September...
... my grandmother told me about it once
been drier that a popcorn fart out there for weeks except for one night 2 weeks ago
amelu looks good in a ponytail and ball cap....take my word for it!
our utility room is off the back patio and not climate controlled... I had to dry a load of clothes 3 times yesterday before they felt dry enough to hang up, LOL!
*blushes*
we need pictures!!
8x10 glossies!
... actually got poured on for 5 minutes yesterday when the cold front went through ... ... temperature dropped almost 10 degrees F in ten minutes ... ... was cold walking home
ha! I stay on the other side of the camera! ~;o)
I fear her hubby!
i fear no man,and only one woman
LOL! Yeah. Ok.
you're a wise man, crossy.
I fear all women....they are the stronger sex, they don't fight fair.
If you have been watching the Olympics you will have seen one thing we arent short of is rain!
this little story will give you a bit more insight into my mrs..around out 7th aniversary i said to her"hey hon,how about we invite a nice female friend to join us to,you know,spice things up a bit?" and without a pause she said "sure go ahead,but i will leave you for the other woman exactly 6 months later and we will both sue you for alimony"
My brother used to tell his wife he was leaving her for his beautiful mistress(joke)and she would say why does she want a quadraplegic - he'd say I'm not. You'll prbably be ahead of me here - she'd say you wil be if you leave.
Deeha, it must be nice to live somewhere cool and rainy in the summer
indeed deeha,wish we had some of your rain about now
i sould invest in sod farms now for next year cause 90% of the lawns in my area are done,dead.they will never come back now
<---thinks front lawns should go away
for things that use less water
We've had enough rain to keep lawn and garden alive, but we're lucky.
saw one fella down the street gave up and did the lawn like they do in dry climates,decorative stone,wood chips,dry grasses etc
But, lawns produce cooling
they do indeed bichon
that's because they use so much h20 bichon
take away all the green ruru and you have nevada lol
just a quick shout out to the English on here - great job on the Olympics! Opening was incredible and my family has been enjoying watching the competition. Also, congrats on the medal wins!
here it is a total waste
most of my neighbors have big lawns
and probably sprinkler systems. We don't water anything unless it's a new planting. And, I used the dehumidifyer water on the plants
last thing we want to do is have less green space
I don't feel any cooling from them
lay on a lawn ru..they lay on a space filled with crushed gravel..will give you a nice comparison
trust us,they cool
ruru, in Napa you don't get any rain in the late spring through early fall, right?
clue for pe5/12 and pe6/21 plz
maybe for places where there is tons of water..but not in drought-ish areas
hello ev1
sorry, oggy, don't have it
we get rain yes, but then we don't and my neighbors use thousands of gallons to try to keep their lawns green to no avail... a total waste
gm anita
i agree there ru.my brother says vegas is in critical stage with tap water.they seem to have but a single aquifer they draw from
in that case,front lawns are a no go
pe + the beginning of what you do with a book oggy
try convincing people of that crossy
we either have feast of famine when it comes to rain... lush yard or crunchy.
and then for the pe 6 toss another vowell in
if your water situation can afford it,have lawns,if not,don,t
thanks got it
well.. if I had my own private lake.. maybe
some people will water in the middle of the night to avoid detection from the water police
new icon is a pic from our July 4th display, kindly fired by jmitch and my son...
water police..wow
we have water meters on the homes,they know exactly how much you are using
trust me, some places have them.
In Israel, lots of people have cactus gardens.
as long as we still get a winter,i am afraid cactus gardens are out
that's because cactus is really easy to replace once the mortar shells are removed
For a really hot summer, I'm surprised how much rain we've had since the beginning of July
oh, and btw, heat index @ 100f but humidity dropping (@80%)...
but at the rate things are changing,we best read up on them
groan..send rain
I'd like to live in a place like Britain or Ireland that has lots of rain
*does the rain dance for crossy*
i am sure that also would get old in a few years
must refuel bbl
when my brother first moved to the states,he chose san antonio and was dying of the heat and missing the changes of the seasons like crazy
*boom* - good times amelu!
so he did a year in PA and had too much snow....
then he did five years in costa rica..no snow,but 3 month rainy season
now he is in nevada baking his brains out lol
~:o) yepper! we do like to blow up stuff!
I just got fireworks here too!
pfft! slowpoke.
for those who like their bottled water,crossy highly recommends this brita personal water bottle with built in changeable charcoal filter.it cost me ten dollars and is good for 250 refills before filter needs to be changed .that works out to 4/10ths of 1 cent let bottle of pure water.i love it
hi all
howdy peri
I have one and marigold has one too, crossy :)
they are great and you save on all that recycle
no more plastic bottles clogging up the landfills!
snap
everyone in my family has one now
the chlorine in the town water was driving us crazy
removes it perfectly
re6/21 the last but one plz
... to look at a book again
to correct someone's copy again.
... sorry ... perused your request too quickly
i must be thick today still cant get it
... re + e4
thanks now i got FIREWORKS

YAY oggy!!!!
enjoy dose! It's cool here again, I am going to go outside as soon as I can, too!
NBT... down to 73
is there anyone around who could nudge me toward the 9? not quite to halfway yet
Pe9 is plural of pe8, not a nice word reminiscent of Jerry Sandusky.
thanks sue *thinking*
Hello ladies
Hi hego!
hello hego! Mother and I made our hotel reservations this morning!!!! We are READY!!!!
YAY!!!!
spoke to Ann via email this AM
nope. pervert isn't it...
got it!
I was planning on worrying about it when I get closer as my schedule is still up in the air.
srarts like a kid doctor
that's NBT, NBS and halfway! :-) pretty good for me
we are watching mens water polo...
I don't "get" it.
sue what part of the sky is the meteor shower?
wtg Stid
yep. well, we will be at the Best Western in Courtenay on the 17, 18 and 19th, and wending our way homeward on the 20th.
It looks like Frank won't be able to come after all, as he needs to stay with our friend who is ill
(the dark part of the sky, hego...)
oh, sorry Sue
oh, I am sorry your friend is doing that poorly, sue. *worried mama look* is this an okay time for you to come?
very funny Stid
Not sure, hego, let me look it up
pe8/50 - add milli**** and ****afarian
great clue, sherb! thanks!
Hi sherb
yw... hard one to clue :)
yw... hard one to clue :)
I think it's toward the west, if you are talking perseids?
Well, I think so, stid, Frank is his health care guardian and he has two high-stakes appointments next week, but I don't really have a formal role
hi hego :)
Sue will tell us, probably
try this link: http://stardate.org/nightsky/meteors
Sue must come!
Please.....
Ah, I see. Well, I am still thinking of you all. You are earning serious karmic points with all the love you are sharing.
ty Stid
Seems to me that when we watched them they were all over the sky, actually -- we set up chairs in the yard and covered up with blankets against the mosquitos.
Hego, if you look straight up you should be able to see them. They cover a lot of the sky.
great ty both
our problem is trees and clouds. Usually we have one or the other in the way of celestial events.
must go. bbl
HAGD!!!!
later heg
or hego
When does school start, stid?
sorry, I wandered off briefly. Around here, usually the wednesday after Labor Day.
(((and hello BR!))) for the local public colleges it's the end of September
my grandkids went back today...
no way! *head spins* that seems really early -- did they get out mid-May?
hello folks, wow talk about real early and real late starts
the friday before memorial day
hey River
my son goes back to high school on Aug 27 and my daugher reports to college on Sept 2.
When I was a kid in Virginia I remember starting in August -- but not quite this early!
Hard to believe your kids are that elderly, River!
our high school freshman start on the wedsnesday before labor day and the upperclassmen go back on Thursday. It give the freshman a change to find their way around without being made fun of or tricked by the older kids.
why? Im an old lady
hi again, got busy getting Dennis off to his final radiation therapy appointment
most of my kids parents are a great deal younger than me
hi sue
I think that's smart -- having the younger kids get a day to learn to navigate. Our local high school has a non-school day that does that, with a crew of upperclassmen leading activities.
friends parents that is
hi river!
the peer leaders show up to help and so does the athletic advisor committee. I remember my daughter doing that
my son has soccer tryouts next week - it begins with tryouts and then daily practice way before school starts.
I think the migraine stuff is starting to work, I am feeling really sleepy. Which means that the caffeine really boosted the pain meds.
sorry to hear you are suffering stid
where did BR go - hope I didnt chase him away
Going to go lie down for a little bit (((River))) thanks, it's just one of those really drawn-out bad ones.
See you-all again soon. *poof*
(((stid)) rest well
bye stid!
You know I have been playing this for years and have absolutely forgotten what NBT and NBS mean. STML I suppose
No Blank Tiles and No Blank Stats
duh and thanks river
yours probably dont show because you have not gone pro yet....whats the holdup steve
just being ornery I guess
we want to see what you look like
lol
just picture Harrison Ford
now I really want you to go pro.....
must get back to work - saving my last 28 for later - bye and have fun folks
bye river!
aren't they the same thing? NBT and NBS
nevermind I just figures it out
Hi all, just posted a recent picture of me on FB, I am wearing white jeans and a flowered top.
crossy, are you still here?
*checking facebook*
Awesome! You look fabulous!
on the babble page, peri?
Peri... your picture on your profile is MUCH too big to see... you'll have to re-format it
I mean here, in Babble
I don't know how to reformat.
that looks like a picture of the balloon
I think you have to first change the resolution of the picture. I know that once I posted a HUGE picture and everyone told me it was slowing down the workings of Babble... so I just removed it
now do you see me with big red lips
I do, but I have to move around in the picture to see them
even the thumbnail is slow to load
thanks sue,
there are quite a few sites that you can use to resize your picture/avatar. I've used them before...
I don't know how to fix that.
they upload just fine to FB
they were all taken with the same camera
Just remove it for now, and work on it later, because I think it is slowing Babble down.
You can resize it in Paint.
you can resize it using Paint, if you are on a Windows computer
(great minds think alike!)
I am in the process of changing it back to the baloon
thanks Molly... that would be the quickest way . First make a copy of the picture, Peri, and then just resize the copy.
Just make sure your dimensions are no bigger than 300
that way, you'll still have the original picture with the same resolution.
okay, balloon is back !!
I am not computer literate. how to I make a copy of the picture?
I tried to show a picture of me and one of zoe-anne but it did not work
right click on picture.... hit copy in the dropdown menu, and then hit paste.
ok,thanks
I will leave things alone for now
I'm not on your Facebook list, or I'd take the picture from your photos and do it for you :-)
that is, if you got it successfully into Facebook
you can have it a little bigger than 300, mine are usually 600x600
a different picture is on FB.I a wearing white jeans and a flowered top. and there is a picture of zoe-anne too
I am wearing...
and i could fix it for you too but i am not on my own computer
can I look for you on FB.... e.g.... do you want to share your user name ??
I took pictures of my toes with teal nail polish and when I uploaded them I noticed that one of the nails had smudged polish on it so I did not post it
Michele Alperin
sue, the picture was taken far enough away so that folks could not see any of my wrinkles :)
wrinkles on my face that is
ha, I know how that is!
I sent you an invitation, peri... and I do see some pictures even now. I'm not sure which picture you are meaning.
ok, so I am occupying a very tiny space - sitting on a hospital bed, with a laptop on a hospital tray and a bag of food on a chair. So can someone tell me exactly how, in this maybe 2 square feet of space, I can lose two napkins???
don;'t know sue
You don't need to make a copy of the picture if it's on your computer. Just open it with Paint and re-size it. By the way, that is a funny picture Peri. : D
diane, just uploaded them a few minutes ago. I am wearing white jeans with a pink shell and flowered sweater. Zoe-Anne is my cat and her picture is in profile.
ok, never mind, I seem to have knocked them onto the floor. So at least part of my mind is still with me.
the one with the red lips,Molls?
: D Yep
I always make a copy in case I mess it up... then I still have the original, in its original size.
I thought it was funny too. those are my new sunglasses
I did not post the one with red lips to FB as yet
I still have the pictures in my camera
I just copied it from here when you had it posted.
aha
Left click the picture and choose "Save Image" and then save it to your Desktop.
I thought it was right click, Molls
Duh, it is.
<---Knowledge of left from right impaired
ok then, I am not as dumb as I thought. that is one of the only things I know how to do
diane, I did not get your request as yet.
are you from Michigan ??.... maybe there's another Michele Alperin ??
I am from PA
I'll be back !!!
I know there is at least one other person with my name. think she is in NJ or NY
kind of weird how you think you have a relatively uncommon name until you get on Facebook with 900 million other people...(same thing has happened to me!)
<-- is a bit disappointed that perque isn't an alternate spelling of perk
I am stuck with 32 left
40 here
Peri.... do you knit fancy socks ? :-))
no
why?
LOL.... this other Michele does... so it's NOT you
look for me instead.... I am Diane Henes and I'm the only one !
peri - also have 32 left
does she have the same last name as me?
exactly as you told me... Michele Alperin
and she went to university of Michigan, she knits pretty socks and she has a great auntie Mimi.... or something like that !
hi wv!
really, how did you find her?
diane,I sent you a friend request
a clue for the re 6 24? plz
hello sue
have re 6 x 3 - which one
sorry those are all re 6/21 - dont have 6/24
I found the imposter,another person with my exact name. But I am more attractive :)
harvested
well, it's not repeed (which would make sense for those of us who are getting older - I pe** once and then I re....)
ah, thanks amelu!

hi crossy!
.... I think I was watching from national geographic ... the host seemed to be a woman of asian descent ... ... I think she PR for the JPL ... told the story about the peanuts well ... but I don't see the 21st century unfolding because of her telling it ... the way the 20th unfolded at Walter Cronkites insistance
suze!
hey, dos, the heat index got to at least 105f before the afternoon thunder boomer set in...
suze look at this...
http://www.stumbleupon.com/su/1zE6dL/: oX@IFUcq:IyxDxZAT/xkcd.com/693/
... I'm reminded of driving into Vegas one Saturday morning and turning on the weather channel ... they said the high for today is 104, for tomorrow 105 and for the rest of the week a hundred and stupid ... they were right ...
ah, I wasn't paying too much attention to the narration, I guess, missed the peanuts story (although to be fair the audio on my phone is limited and Frank and I were both trying to watch it at the same time)
... something I never thought to say ... ... gotta go and watch a soccer game ... Ole ole ole ole ... ... and other Canadien chants
cute, crossy! I love xkcd!
as do i suze

oh, good grief, just jumped out at me LOL!!!
Yes peri... I am
how old are your kids?
I'm afraid to tell you... LOL....maybe I've made you either way younger or older than you really are !
It's so hard to tell from pictures sometimes.... ;-)
you made me way younger :) I am closer to your age
you can't see the wrinkles in that picture :)
as i sit here,you all look 25 to crossy:)))
there are at least two other people with my name out in the world

nope
I remember being 25 - vaguely -

it is on FB
also a picture of Zoe-Anne
what name you use on fb peri?
NO WAY ... I am 72.... minimal wrinkles for my age, but hair is very white.
Michele Alperin and I live in PA
there is another person with my name on FB
she is an imposter!!
and crossy... she doesn't knit fancy socks ! lol
70 diane

I saw your cat too :-)
cool a few question men never answer..how old do i look? is there too much grey in my hair? and do these jeans make me look fat?
I will look forward to an invitation sometime soon then, sue

hello glant
bbl
bye peri!
what's the grid like? didn;t get chance to start this morning
not bad, glant
smooth start..last 1/4 is a tough grind
mostly real words strangely enough
that makes a change :-)
whoo-hoo!!!
did you finish carla?
key word there is "mostly" lol
ah, got th eother two q's, finally.
sorry, just cheering the US goal.
Hi All
hi hego
hi again hego!
hiGlant and Sue
trying to finish
Hi everyone! I have 2 words left and would love some clues... ti6/21 and or4/4 (why can't I find the "or" word?????). Thanks so much!
i have Q 5 (royalty), 6 (pl) and 5 (unusual) - what am i missing)
Hey Brookie!
wv, something that means a mill.
Hi hego!
<---can't do or words either
Brookie...or + a cheer but without the h at the end
OR 4 - O + double cons + first vowel
qu+eagle
or4 or + egyptian sun god
ty swear I tried that
Wow, I can't believe I didn't try that "or"! Thanks!
ti6/21 is something that might start a fire
Yay, thanks for the ti clue too! Fireworks!
woo hoo brookie
YAY!! Brookie!
yay brookie!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ooh, found the pe8/9 all by myself LOL
not nice words
no
I have to laugh when these trolls come through thinking they can shock us with language :-)
so childish
wow, there's a research group that has used 3-d printing to make arms for a disabled toddler! Awesome!
fantastic
need pe5,12, but not the one about steps...pls
excuse me, not the hammer.
pe5 & 6 are ;inked
sound latin/spanish
region of ancient palestine apparently
according to enable
6 has an additional vowel between the last two vowels of the pe5
boy, am I ever not finding those!
pe + cpns + 2 vowels
*cons
Thx..that gave me the fireworks!
woo hoo drwed
yay drwed!!!!!!!!!!!!
(still want to know what you are a professor of - from one to another - but if you don't want to say that's fine)
fireworks over ancient palestine...who would have expected?
Political Science-teach courses on terrorism.
:-D
Palestine reference was a coincidence
ah - retired physics. We have similar courses; maybe I'll audit one once I have some time :-)
Physics, huh? I have a joke for you...
(similar to the one you're teaching, I mean)
have you managed to retiure then sue?
i know you were talking about it earlier in the year
I have, glant, as of July 1
congratulations (I think!)
Schrodinger's cat walked into a bar...but didn't!
although I've had a tentative request to chair a department completely different from my own for a year - not sure if anything will come of that
interesting...
finally found the pe words, but needed morewords for help
hard to clue
**
my monkeys found em
you did fine, there are just too many vowels in this grid
dunno about that - just had a mini panic when i went to look for the STs...
then realised it was possible
** fireworks ** last word FA 4/7
woo hoo teach
yay teach!!!!!!!!!!!
ha, I had missed the st8, thanks glant!
crossy is back:)
fireworks
yay glant!!!!!!!!!!!!!
nothing like a shower for 3..me,the mrs and one spastic kitten:(
and hi again crossy!
yaa for glant
did you go out in the rain crossy?
rain?? what is this rain you speak of?
ah, guys are back, I'd best get off the computer. See you all later!
we had one overnight shower in the past 6 weeks,that is it
tc suze
can't remember the last tiem we had a dry day. yesterday the rain was so heavy that it sounded like drumming....
today we have just had a few reasonably heavy showers
and some SUNSHINE in between!
ahh glant,your killing me..rain? real rain? wet stuff that they say falls from the sky?
forecast for tomorrow and the next day os persistent and heavy rain - might be dry (but not sunny) on Thirsday -what a summer
your crops are dying because they are too dry, ours are dying because they're drowning
food prices are going to rise considerably, I think
little girls told me the other day that rain is just a myth because how can they get all those bottles of wather to stay up there?
our apple orchards are a disaster
and on that happy note, I'm off to find my wellies because I am working outdoors tomorrow and think the ground may be waterloged
corns is doing ok..for now
Dr. Wed, love the Schrodinger's cat joke : )
this si the first year my broad (fava) beans have hardly cropped. The french beans are just beginning to form - usually picking those by mid July
night night all - hello and goodbye Molly
gn glant
hi and good afternoon.
howdy bichon
hint for the pe 8/9, pls
nm, got it.
pe + absence makes the heart grow fon*** and l*** but not least; pl
ty BR
who won the soccer match today between can and the u.s?
U.S. just won it in second overtime
Canada plays for the bronze on Thursday, I believe.
ahh ok ty
4 - 3
we get so wrapped up in books,board games,doing stuff outside,we forget about the tv.i do not think it has been on for a month.been trying to keep up with the goings on in the games by hitting cnn.com for a few min each day:)
and babble of course:)
great soccer game! got rough there at the end
of course :-)
US won with around 30 seconds left in the second extra session
with a great head shot...perfectly placed.
who does the US play for the Gold?
I'm not sure... maybe has not been decided yet.
u.s. will play Japan... Canada will play France
pasting: The Americans have played in the gold medal match in every Summer Games since women's soccer was introduced in Atlanta in 1996.Canada will play France for the bronze medal.
sorry we do better at hockey:))
remember that year the womens hockey team just crushed the competition:)) was a good year
hi all
Hi Peri
Nice to check in here and find out about another US Olympic victory. : )
Molls, I am almost out of gin :(
Time for a trip to the friendly nearby liquor store.
yep
I do have tonic and fresh limes :)
need to buy chips
and make guacamole
fireworks!!
Way to go Peri : )
hint for the third re6/21.....please
revise a document again
i tried that (with a writing implement),,no go
When you revise a document you don't write it again, you make corrections to it.
ah merci beaucoups Molly and Jess
Evening everyone.
just popped in to clue for a bit if needed
hi red
Red, you made me laugh this morning when you posted that you needed to "put on pants and go to work." I was so glad that pants were a part of that schedule. : D
well it does not look like clues are needed, by for now
def for the 9?
Plural of an older word for sexual predators of children.
ty molly
Should have said male children.
I got it right away
How are you Jean? Haven't seen you around in a while.
Pants are so important Molly!
Red, I was secretly hoping you put on the sauna pants, but I figured those don't fly at work. : )
I did wear a pair of compression tights...and regular black pants.
Sauna pants not part of the dress code.
I did see my boss wearing peeptoe shoes today, also not allowed. :(
Hi Jean!
I have brutally injured, perhaps killed chat. Sorry folks.
Hush, you didn't kill the chat.
Isn't it dangerous (falling needles) for nurses to wear any kind of open shoe?
hi again all!
Sue, I am kind of scared of your icon. : O
My Boss is like me, she is the Risk Manager. We don't handle needles.
Hi Sue!
Really excited to see what comes back from the Mars Curiosity!!!!
but yes, it is risky anyway.
it's actually a pretty cool video, molly, but I know what you mean about the icon (screen shot)
and hi red!
yeah! science!
hi, shirl!
hi shirl, I see you survived the grid yesterday.
omg finally finished it
tadone! finito! hi everyone!
I have not finished anything that long in forever, it felt like a real accomplishmnet.
I had barely gotten half way at the flip (busy day yesterday)
and yay lbd!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have a friend who is a hospital administrator, and she loves to say that "it is a man's *&% dream that hospital administrators dress like Lisa Cuddy" (House)
congrats lbd!!!
Hysterical. My Boss is 62 years old, so we want here to continue dressing like she does...
you mean they don't, molly? ;)
I should add she looks "Several decades over herstated age"
Hahaha...her stated age...that is such a medical term. : )
ha, I just totally made up the pr7, for my last 7. 11 left.
I just about fell off my chair the other day I was reading a chart on a 91 yr old, and the Doc wrote, :She appears several decades older than her stated age" and I'm thinking, like...she looks 120?
Having been involved in medical transcription lately, I am convinced that most of the reports doctors dictate are done while sleep deprived.
I'd agree to that.
Sounds like a swell party going on in here.
I said "swell?"
hi Kap the M.
Hi Kap, feeling any better today?
hi, kap!
Yep. The crying menopausal monster has left the building.
Hi Sue.
fireworks!
But she shall return!
Good. Verklempt can only go on for so long.
Congrats uusue!
whooo hooooo UU!!
help please with the 3rd re 6/21
And congrats Kap on the better state.
get that book out again, mbh
It can change at any minute!
Yay! A short one, I so need to babble after my day! Hello all my babbly buddies!! ((hugs)) all around!
lbd, I got 3 words from that thanks!
Hi Jilly, Huggies.
i thought that was the 4th re 6/21
WooT WooT WooT uusue!
3rd is to go over the manuscript again before publishing
hi jilly
thanks!
sorry about that, mbh. apparently i can't count tonight.
You can even go over the manuscript BEFORE you go over the manuscript!
Hi Dawg...nice weather but certainly feeling like fire weather *fingers crossed* no fires...
*Passes Jilly an early gin related night cap*
thanks Kap. I am down to 35...
Now, there's a feat!
the gin, or the fact that I am down to 35?
Wouldn't that be WRITING it?
Thanks Molly!
No, going over the manuscript before you go over the manuscript.
How exactly do you pr*ed4 something?
I object to pr7/36.
I was half expecting preread to be okay after getting that one.
you can pr*write something, right?
No you can't. You can't write something before you write it. Not in my world.
PB Molly. It's been a while since I've put anyone there.
But if you haven't written your book yet, it's pr*written.
So again, how do you pre7 something? Just write it?
What does that even MEAN?
Well, grill ready for fish...bbl to finish this...*poof*
Cop out.
Hello...
Who knows. Enable is so dumb, it only gives the definition for ed4 for pr7.
What do you expect from a dictionary that doesn't recognize daycare?
I can see something being pr7ED, as an adjective, but not as a verb form.
Heya Jellen ..Heyas kids ..
pr 7: (computer science) To edit data before feeding it to a computer.
PB PB PB! What is with you guys! is there no PB anymore?
have you no decency?
Nope, not at all. People blurt out grid words as much as they blurt out clues no one asked for. It's total anarchy.
That was yesterday with the premature clues, right?
I had all the 8s in the first five minutes, just from saying hello.
Hi jellen, torgone, BR!
Who's minding the store?
I think many here like to start by precomplaining and before the real thing
Hi to all who just arrived.
I must be the many.
It's a lost concept that people actually like to find words in the grid on their own.
You mean like the White Queen.
I close the chatterbox and do that
And there is a difference between complaining and wondering why people do things.
Remember- she screamed before she pricked herself with the needle, and stopped when it happened?
I love Lewis Carroll.
I never complain.
In this case, a distinction without a difference
I precomplain.
Once it happens, I'm over it.
Kap, chat is a lot like Lewis Carroll sometimes.
Your icon reminds me of AJ Soprano discovering "Nitch."
None of it means anything.
And some of it means everything.
All or nothing.
And those silly trolls thought we didn't know we are ridiculous all by ourselves.
ugh stood in 3 hours to get a ticket to see the President.
pe5 after the writing implements?
you got a ticket? cool. I shook his hand before he was President.
But you got it!
so did i red :)
And the hookah smoking caterpillar continues to spout gibberish while many vie for contention to be The White Queen.
yes jellen got it!
It's like when my kids sneer at me watching Days of Our Lives. If they were REALLY smart, they would be telling me why Public Television is stupid.
'When I use a word,' Humpty Dumpty said, in rather a scornful tone, 'it means just what I choose it to mean — neither more nor less.'
Cos is in the political cool club.
I like Public tv...
Hi BR!
Hello, H
I know-my point was...
Wellll...
How did I do that?
you and BR are very special people that we love.
I have never been so insulted in all my life.
No, I am a pariah here .... ostracized for being weird
I think I need to go to bed. I am clearly not getting anywhere.
Yeah, right.
Hope you are well and smiling Holly
How did we finally get rid of the trolls yesterday?
Was there an explosion? Were they evaporated?
Was there a moment when they felt themselves disappearing?
BR you're ostracized? did it hurt? ;-) weird is the modern cool.
i'm so glad i missed out on the trolls. the grid yesterday was too big for nonsense.
Kap, I get you.
And we now return you to your regularly scheduled discussion of The President.
theres now a 5 hour line wait
u need to show ID, fill out a form, blah blah blah
I'm not a fan Cos, but I know you are, so I'm glad you got your ticket. : )
not that big of a fan
but yeah ty :)
It's a unique part of your history to be able to say you saw a President in person, whether you are a fan or not.
yes yes it is. I've seen 3 actual President, Obama would be the 4th
I mean. Presidents while in office.
That's cool Cos. Not too many people can say that.
First time mom forced me. I was 10 lol...
Back! Yummy dinner of BBQ mahi mahi, pea salad and fruit salad...will mix well with the gin later ;)
2nd time was Clinton, 3rd time was GW Bush
the first time was the first Bush
boy do i need clues. tought grid.
Presidents are a honor to see -- regardless of party.. MKG I'm doen so I can help!
I'm still hoping a President like Jed Bartlet comes along. Because THEN things would get done in this country. : D
Agreed!
Jed Bartlet solved the social security problem, he brought peace to the mideast lol
on on top of hs daughter getting kidnapped, being shot, faced impeachment
nbs and nbt
The problem is, we can't get a man with balls into The White House. (May get banned for saying that)
I've seen worse language here.
We cannot get a Congress with any balls either (gladly joining molly in banishment!)
The United States Of Eunuchs. : D
no more male members of congress.
id go for that (no males in congress, not the eunuch)
LOL...

Oh hell, if we had ever let women lead the country we would have been aces years ago.
I did my part in 2008 :P
hi
phantom farrier
hi harp
I'm not that big of a Hilary fan either, but she was the clear choice and I still don't understand why the Democrats (sorry Cos) dissed her.
I didn't diss her :) I was a delegate for her.
she actually got more VOTES than Obama. Obama got more delegates though.
No, I meant no slam to your party of choice. I'll never understand why a candidate with Hilary's experience was passed over for someone with literally no experience.
I agree Molly. Totally.
A - she was a woman and a lot of folks weren't ready yet.
B- she got negative feelings for some as being opportunistic.. (rumors that she only stayed with Bill because of political ambition
my point is: more democratic primary voters voted for Hillary than they did for Obama. however the system was set up so Obama got more delegates.
pisses me off.
hi all
help w/ae6 pls
pissed me off even more that George W stole the election from Gore with the help of the Supreme Court
sandra day o'connor gave an interview yesterday and talked about her deciding vote in bush v gore. she says she would have still done the same thing today.
really???
when the news networks called FL for Gore in 2000. O'Connor was heard on tv saying "this is terrible news" --- that alone should have made her rescue herself.
ae6: ae + to eat
ae6 = ae + what you do at suppertime, di4 on some good food
they've forgotten about recusal... clarence thomas???
hi all, sneaked in to finish and found I already had, lol!
ty cos, never would have found that
Kagan rescued herself in a case a few weeks ago. Good for her.
she has much integrity
congrats rbud
lol wtg rbud
yay rbd!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
back at flip time, I guess, if it doesn't slide by me like it does so often - good luck to all
I just look to the heavens and pray when I hear "this country is not ready for a woman President". And wonder what we are all waiting for.
Hell to freeze over molly...I'm baaack!
We in UK got Mggie Thatcher, an I still thank God for that, despite what the labourites might say.
Welcome back Jilly, Hi Jac
Maggie Thatcher 'milk snatcher' was the best thing that could ever have happened to UK at the time.

Mostly, Jilly -- was still pretty bad this morning. Then Tom and I had a lovely dinner out -- sushi and my gall bladder is really really really angry with me. Barely made it home before I got sick. So might still have the migraine just something else is worse. Thinking hammer and finger making the stubbed toe feel better.
Have a Miele dishwasher...LOVE it!!
so sorry you're feeling poorly, stid.
So sorry stid...you really need a break!
sounds just awful. i get migraines too and have this auto immune stomach thing. can relate

Just had my first tarot reading done. I'm kinda amazed at how accurate the cards were.
it's not the cards it is the person who re**s them. . .and there are tricks to doing it. . .
<==used to re** tarot cards
oh i know....
just interesting to see their "interpretations" are
pattern recognition... allows us to filter some of the mental "noise" to get at what we are really dealing with I think.
:-) that is true . . . hearing someone else say something can sometimes help you see things differently
right!
a fun way to get a 2nd perspective lol
yes stiddie that is part of the trick. . . and trick meaning more the skill
