I'm falling asleep but would like to make it to half way before calling it a night

I would too, flosey, but too sleepy -- goodnight/farewell all...*poof

Sweet dreams, Jilli
can't wait till they have homework to do
hi all
hello all - it amuses me how kids use as many swear words as they can as long as they think they are safe from the wrath of parents or teachers
and they think they have a captive audience
well I suppose in this case they do !!
some have actually been caught - seems they heard from a teacher?? quite a while ago
stuck. time to list. 17 left.
well, glad I missed that episode, I'da been tempted to say something, I always am... in spite of knowing it never helps...
well done cos, I'm listing and have 57 yet to get
agree rbud - really have to sit on my hands not to pass a mean comment
hi all - I think I remember that, flosey. The teacher used babble as a school activity, and then caught her students misbehaving. That was quite a while ago.
so many mental midgets around these days.
lol a teacher let someone chat online?
they were mainly supposed to be working on the puzzle, but some asked for help and others acted up
recipe for disaster
I'd like to think they were safe here, it was kind of cool that the teacher thought this was a good exercise
I have a rule at my library, no chat rooms - but the kids still go to game sites with SMS and little side chats like this one - it's hard for me to be too mean about it.
And the little boys play such icky games, seems the grosser the better
give me plain old legend of zelda :)
sorry, left to get a drink, so cos, they were caught and (I think, if I remember correctly) they were known by a teacher who then spoke to them about the behaviour
i can see how the game would benefit students though
sometimes all three other computers are taken up by three brothers who compete madly at the same game, though not actually playing against each other, you know. They don't seem to want to read, sigh...
the last librarian wouldn't let them play games, so no one came in at all.
its allowed at our library here but only a hour a day limit
I'm just the afternoon babysitter around here some days, it seems
I do make them take turns if there are kids waiting.
cos, did you actually meet the Pres.?
i did, talked to him, shook his hands
wow, pretty exciting
yeah one of the better days of my life lol
what's the lower right i?
iw 4
(my last for nbt)
well, poo, I saw that mentioned in chog earlier, didn't realize it was for this one. thanks!
np :)
3 to go. 1 4 1 5 1 6
Another library problem - our little local grade school is now closed as of last May, and the kids will now have a long bus ride to and from school. thinking of changing to slightly later hours so they might actually have a chance to come in. don't know how it will work out.
fireworks
woohoo, cos!
wtg cos
that long day must be tough on little kids rbud,
Congrats, cos!
I know, it's really sad. The new school isn't far away, really, but they've had to cut back on busses and drivers, so now one bus has to go to more towns to let them out. We're far down on the list.
I did that for one school year, grade 2, we had to walk about a mile to school, thenbe bussed to the next school while portables were being built
morning craftylady ( mum )
hi sarah
i am up not awake lol but can come when you like love you xx
what's even sadder is, the next town over is much closer, but no one wants their kids to go there, as its about 75% Mexican. An odd little ethnic pocket in our area, complete with Spanish-speaking bars and grocery stores, etc.
will try to leave at about 9am should then be with you by 10 love you too
cool mum that will keeo rosie happy lol xx
keep
sarah, do you do cross stitched greeting cards? I have received 2 of them and have frames them
yes my mum do to :)
and yet they have a wonderful school system, grades K thru 12, and a great library, too.
I'll put a picture of them as my icon, just a sec
i am at min knitting a jumper for one of my girls :)
mum rosie said you have untill 10.02 to get here or she going to tell you off lol xx
tell her i'm scared
lol
darn, new computer and can't get them up, will try again next time I see you - one is a single rose and the other is a boquet of flowers
cool would love to see them when you can put them on flosey x
will have to downsize them too, when I can
must get to bed, goodnight all
nite flosey x
Sweet dreams, flosey.
off to bed meself...

so many phantoms
Are you up early or late to bed, jmc?
woke up early for the second night in a row
We'll try to bore you back to sleep. What topics cause you to drift off?
the rain woke me this morning. . .i knew the cat was out and unhappy so i had to get up and let her in
Hello ladies - and Ron
haha dogs
hi lynxxx
Hello, lynxxx.
What about celebrity gossip? We could talk about celebs and their dogs, that'd have you asleep in no time.
someone was talking about going to London. . . peri maybe?
haha that would do it for sure. . . an irresistible combination
So, Paris Hilton and her chiuahua it is.
does she have a chiuahua? poor beast
chiuahua - I think it is. You can't get rottweilers into handbags.
do people dye chiuahuas like they do poodles?
Why can I not spell that word? Chihuahua or as husband pronounces it - Chi Hooah Hooah.
don't look at me. . . i was just copying your spelling since you spell so much better than I
please could I have a clue for the te9
te9/72 frightened
sorry jenny
TY Jenny that frightened me
it scares you
te9 - the thought of being dyed te9 most dogs.
haha hi diz
thank you I didn't notice the rr
last one for nbt and nbs is the i in the 2nd column please
io5/14
io plus what Katy ***
ty haz
You're welcome.
thank you - never come accross that before
good morning
hi Ruby
Good morning, ruby.
being around a dog often te9 me. . .i have been bit 3 times. . . and no I have never harmed a dog
hi ruby
hello haz
hi lynxx
hello jenny
hi ruby
jmc, you still here?
this is a funny time to be on
no i woke up way early
That is sad to hear jmc
i really hate it when people say it must have been my fault i was bit
yes, like when husband was -- it was strictly the fault of the "MASTER"
yes you must stop pulling random dogs tails
I seem to wake up at about 4 a.m. every morning, a real pain as I can never get back to sleep. This has been happening since I had to start taking steroids about a month ago
OR CALLING THEM NAMES!
whoops
oh poor jenny! well i am not taking steriods
It's the sight of jmc approaching them with a bottle of dye in her hand that has them reacting defensively.
when my son and i would walk down the road and there was a dog i would put him in between me and the dog
I need a handbag large enough for a chow -- funny idea -- it would have to be made in Chinca!
Although dogs do pick up on emotions somehow so maybe that has something to do with it. Although actually biting I am not sure about. I think you have just been plain unlucky
they are miricle drugs - a month ago I couldn't walk without 2 sticks and was in constant pain, now I can walk anywhere and have thrown the sticks away and no pain!!
or even China
Hi jmcnrick! the curse will be lifted when you overturn CU!
the worst was this dog trainer started training his dogs right outside my office door. . . I would be trapped for an hour
yay jayk!
Sounds like waking up too early is well worthwhile Jenny. Glad you have found relief
I will be emailing an article soon
that is wonderful, jenny!
what wonderful news jenny. . . worth giving up some sleep!
oh good.
*gives jayk an awkward hug*
hi Jayk
i'm dog-free, if that helps
hi jayk
haha!
Hi Ruby et al
definitely - I'm not complaining
my life is dogs.... :(
oo sorry ruby. . .the moment i hit send i worried i would hurt someones feelings :(
i don't hate dogs so much as i am afraid of them. . . but i have been working to get over it
no no, not to worry jmc. I am just watching my beloved Ruby fade away, so it is making me sad
now when i see someone walking a dog i don't cross the street. . .
oh how sad ruby!
you would never say anything hurtful, jmc, and if you met my sweet dogs, it would help you get over your fear -- unless you didn't like to be licked
the (huge) puppy is a licker!
*shudders*
hahah, that's why my sister doesn't like dogs
i actually have a neighbor who fosters labs. . . but i know he would never tolerate his dogs to bite. . . he is great with them and i am not afraid even around new ones because he is so good with dogs
that's a good thing for you, jmc, trusting the owner is very important
see you later, kids, it's apero time for DH
Bye, ruby.
stats for the corner E please
bye ruby
waaaiiiitttt.....ruby, come back.
ed7/44
hi granny
hey jmc, haz
well that explains a lot i was not looking for a 7
ed7 - is profitable, is positively good.
Hello, grannyrose.
a great word!
ty haz
Isn't it? Same ending as the scary te9 but so much nicer.
how are you 2 doing? all well here.
also another ed7, plural form?
i am fine granny
ty granny
today may well be the start of a new era in granny's life.
yes?
You're posing for Playboy?
my estranged son's wife contacted me, and we have spent the better part of the day, in the local pub, chatting. lots of tears, but also lots of laughs
That sounds better.
lol, haz, not quite yet. let me lose another 10kgs....
oh does that mean there is hope for you being unestanged?
my sister was in playboy
really??
yes, jmc. and a lot of beliefs on both parts were shot down in flames today.
????? jmc. WOW!!!!
ah mistaken beliefs . . . good things to go down in flames
Lots of assumptions on both sides, I presume?
she was standing behind woodward and bernstein in the newsroom of the washington post when they were in an article about watergate in playboy. . .
yup. we have both resolved not to listen to other peeps. we will call one another and say....what the.....? and sort it out from there.
AH! THAT makes sense
my daddy loved to take it to the bars and say. . . my daughter was in playboy. . .want to see her picture?
lol, jmc.
what a naughty daddy!!!!
good plan granny . . . communication is key in any relationship
Well, at least I can say with truth that I had breakfast with Michelle Obama....
he was the man from whom i got my perverse sense of humor
hi Rose
really haz? i did not know that!
You mean you haven't heard my breakfast with the Obamas story?
now the hard part is to pick up the phone and call my son. he probably won't answer, but at least he'll now i cared enough to reach out.
hey lyn
no i missed that haz *settles in chair to listen*
me, too, haz
it has to start somewhere granny
Short version - Nairobi, August 2006, when he was plain Senator Obama and visiting his father's homeland. We were staying in the same hotel, had breakfast with a very tall lady and two girls (black Americans), then saw them later when they emerged from a convoy to plant a tree in the local park.
We saw the then Senator later in the hotel talking to business people. It was interesting at the time, but riveting when it emerged that he was in the running for the presidency.
So, we always say that we had breakfast with the Obamas. The end.
what a terrific story!
wow!
I don't suppose they remember us with quite so much clarity!
haha! you can't never tell as loretta lynn says. . . politicians are good at remembering because it helps them get elected
Husband likes to claim that he's met President Clinton as well but since it comprises watching him walk off Air Force One at Belfast Airport, I don't think it counts.
like Haz was a potential vote
Yes, but think how I could influence babblers.
Don't vote for Obama, he doesn't use a napkin properly.
Or Michelle can't use a knife.
good point, haz
They say manners maketh the man...
i a shocked at the idea of foreign influence in our electoral process! ;-)
not a potential vote but habits of the politician . . .
stats for third row o please
Yes, forget the policies, how does he/she cope at the table.
interesting tale, haz. so that gives you an obama factor of 1?
ob4/6
ob4, ob4
ty
i'm sure mittens has impeccable table manners
i have a john farnham factor of 1.
Good morning all.....
hi flask
helloooo flask. long time no see. how are you, hun?
as the other Australian Rose, I'll be impressed
Hello, Flask.
sorry granny i had to look up john farnham. . .so how do you know this pop idol?
hi Flask
jmc, nursed him when he was quite sick, following surgery
lol, thanx, lyn. knew you would be.
ah . . .
am well thanx!
...which is probably a lot closer than any of the rest of us would get close to a celebrity
hows todays grid, friendly or not?!?!?!?
so-so Flask
not too bad, flask. a few curly ones
Not friendly, I'm afraid.
haha! i can't say i have seen any disrobed celebrities!
Oh no......hows your weather Haz?
ummmm, lyn, you would probably appreciate how close i was.....
It's lovely today again.
he was quite cute when he was young
b**** freezing here...BBS just going to get a cardi
yes, jmc. and he has an incredible voice.
i will listen to him when my roommate has woken up. . .
very overcast here Haz!
john farnham had many an aussie female heart fluttering.
why does the bio say he is an English Australian? what are the other kinds of Australians?
I saw your town on the news, Flask, the flooding looked awful. I hope that doesn't happen again.
lol, his very first song which i remember was 'sadie, the cleaning lady'. when i think of it now, all i can say is OMG
jmc, they refer to his country of birth, or his parentage. i am australian australian.
so do we Haz!....it was the shopkeepers I felt it for the most.....very small and struggling businesses, really didn't need it!
I know, things are tough enough.
oh i see granny. . .different custom than the U.S.
do people really say australian australian?
you got it, jmc
dear flask that is terrible!
well the pedantic ones do.... i just say i'm aussie!!!
haha!
stats for the third column i please
it's amazing how peep's minds work, isn't it?
until you experience it, you really don't appreciate the damage water can do!!
is5/10 ( quite apt considering the immigration topic)
is4, is5, is5
it is granny . . . seems excessive but people in the US have no room to talk!
TY Haz
TY Haz
You're welcome.
ty
don't start me on floods...my hobby horse at the moment
nbt
now you have me curious lynxxx
TY for the other is's Rose
Settling back to hear about floods.
mind you, if you were to ask, i could probably fill the chog with my heritage, from europe. lol. but i appreciate friends, and don't like to put them off.
hey lyn, we fixed the swamp in our backyard...finally
hard to put off this crowd granny . . . i will ask you about it another day
lynnx you have us waiting! :-D
This crowd? This fine group of women and men labelled 'this crowd'?
dug out a skip's worth of soil, put down a trailer load of lime, blue metal, and topped it with a golden-coloured lilydale topping. also put in new drains.
we are at the sink hole end of a v large drainage system that cannot cope with the storm events becoming more common. We flood! and authorities are willing.......to talk about it! Has been going on for 80 or so years
80 years! No local politicians available to get things moving?
mind you the authorities in lyn's area are now octogenarians. lol
sounds good Rose...we have lilydale topping in our back yard...only thing is after a few year you get moss on it each winter
dear me all i can find for lilydale is a spiritualist community in australia!
Needs to be state politicians unfortunately = local council is only responsible for their own drains.
ahhhh, will ask our landscape gardener if he knows a solution. he has already advised us to throw chlorine tabs down the pit drains in summer, to kill off the mozzies
there is a neighborhood in dc which has been flooding for about as long and now that it is "transitional" the flooding has started making the news
Anyway doesn't matter as in 80 years 1/3 of this suburb will be under water because of sea rises
Is there any angle involving wildlife? If there's a threat to a species or something would people want to get involved?
jmc, try lilydale stone
Lilydale topping - is fine white clay mixed with white and grey stones. Compacts down. Looks quite lovely
okay, dinner ready, enjoy the game, see you all at the flip.

hello babblers
Hi TO
hello again
hi ruby
who is here? hello flask
hello TO
a lot of lurkers, methinks!
we are on a hillside (rocky, thin soil), but the only flooding we have is on our bottom floor, when the drains fill up
otherwise, we're very lucky
morningflask,morningruby
hello TO!! how are you?
hi TO
yes, drains seem to play a big part where flooding is concerned!
unfortunately, these are our "personal" drains, so no helping except if we have somebody re-pave our parking and that is a huge (and expensive) job.
I have one neighbor who, when it rains, opens her front door and her back one, and the water just runs through!
fine and how are you all? we had no power last nightbut it is back now.
(we are in a small village)
TG for the Welshe babblets!

this front is suppose to head east tomorrow, so hopefully you will get some relieft
relief*
better night last night, thanx for asking!
so glad to hear, Flask
feeling a bit more alert today!
:-) even better
That's great that the oxygen is helping you, Flask
Thanx Annie...
earlier this month a friend of mine turned 60. Today is quilting day so we will have cake to celebrate and we have a tiara for her,
Mom, Wish her a happy birthday wish from Brooklyn
Oh lovely, i Have a tiara that I wear every christmas day!
I will do that, she is also a babbler, doesn't usually chat though. She is FIVE on babble
how cool, Flask
...and Scotland Mom!
will do Flask
wish I was FIVE again...lolol...;)
lol ....
she picked that name as she is the fifth of 12 children
oh wow.....
my goodness
I dated her brother back in the late '70's, he is married now and has 11 children.
My father was the youngest of 11
she tells me all the time I dodged that bullet. :-)
amazing, Annie, what a large family
Mom, can you imagine having eleven children?
no, I can't
You'd be exhausted!!!
especially not in todays time
two was hard enough
and they were good boys to boot.
My one will do me....now his son, makes two!!
:-) how old is your son, Flask
lol...he's 33, hardly a bairn!!
they will always be a bairn, no matter what their ages are
thats very true, and am never done tellin' him that!
:-)
is that your grandson in the picture?
how old are your two Mom?
27 and 24
yes it is...I need to update it!
Shay will be 28 next month
he is darling
he and his wife are going to Portugal the end of this month. Wondering if I will get to keep Annie <3
her mom might though since she has a fenced yard and 2 other dogs :-)
oh lovely!.....Alexander is 3 in November!
what a precious age
hello mom!
(((TO)))) good morning. How is Musikfest
this gr** is a killer for me
lightning forced 9:30 closure on Thursday night, but last night wa ok despite possible storms predicted. I am finished w orking, will go bak tomorrow night to fest
I hate that you had storms. Enjoy tomorrow night
does any one have the F in the first column?
wish i had gone lst night, but i did not want to deal with it. should have, had no power from 5:3- until after midnight.
oh for cryin' out loud. Probably should have
yep, would never have known about outage. tonight i am going to zydeco so no fest
person who plays the fi4
zydeco?
Hi disneyjessi
dancing
thanks, will work on that
Hi
thank you so much
sounds like fun, TO
hello dis
yw
i am getting fb timeline (ugh) and it has stuff on it friends like making it look as if I like it. how do i remove?
I had that a while ago, I think it has to do with your security settings. Let me go see. brb
I don't know if this will work or not:
https://www.facebook.com/settings/?tab =privacy#
that is not what I wanted to do. if you go to the privacy settings I have in the order that they appear on the screen: friends friends off friends of f friends
and that seems to have taken care of the issue with me
skip that extra f
under the timeline and tagging I have this: Friends friends off friends off friends
ok mom i will try it. i want to keep politics out of my FB account and resent that friends' likes, which may or may not be indicativeof my views, appear as if they are mine.
I agree with you there, TO
I must scoot. So glad to see everyone this morning (((Hugs)))) to all of you
nye mom hagd
you as well, TO
bye (((Mom)))
((Annie)) bye for now

:)
I must be off, the gr4 isnt too bad, bye dear babblers

Good morning!!!
CAR!!!! Welsome home!
TY, TY!
How are you?
dumped
but its okay
You weren't dumped...you dumped.
whatever. not really. its okay
You will have to update me later.
anyway - did you find dinosaurs????
Zack "found" a coelophysis!
did he lose his mind?
It was the kids dig area...the bones are under the sand, so they were uncovering the bones...but Zack named the dinosaur correctly...which was very funny because apparently it threw the "palentologist" because that comes later in his script!
hahahahaha well done, zach attack!
big news from work this week - the girl with severe autism HUGGED me Thursday. It was really, really moving
good morning my friends:)
Hi Crossy!
morning crossy
great news Trif. Hi crossy, Trif, car
Hi Bichon
thanks bichon. I was so profoundly moved. it was such a sweet moment.
That is awesome Trif!
and it is now time for crossys tidbit of the day!!
wow, trif, nice!
Oh! HOw I have missed thsoe!
*those
The only other country in the world to celebrate the United States' birthday, July 4th, is Denmark.
yay!!!!
Hi shirlockc!
Trif, does that mean that more improvement is possible?
hi shirlockc
Yeah Denmark!
hehe
how long have you been working with the autistic girl?
trif good news that the child had a breakthrough:))
I hope your Boss choked on her coffee....
bichon, I am just not sure. The work I do is a marathon, always a marathon, never, ever a sprint. and just this summer, shirlockc, which makes it even more special. she has connected with me in just the short time we have had, and I feel incredibly lucky, and chosen. she is a wonderful, special soul, and the fact that something in me spoke to something in her makes all my other incredibly shitty days worthwhile
whoops...bo 4
{{Trif}}
ha ha ha car - we have our yearly meeting again this week. If I get clinician of the year again she is gonna be SO pissed! tee hee
Do they do back to back?
very impressed trif, way to go
yup. only clinicians vote for clinicians, so there is NOTHING she can do to prevent it, if I am lucky enough to have it happen. nothing is for sure, of course, and we do have several other excellent candidates
Here in Babble Land you win!
yes I am the big weiner
i see the poor people at the flip had a troll to deal with.most unusual at that time
:)
:)
crossy, from what I understand, there has been an uptick in troll activity lately.
there has indeed trif
<---- my computer is acting very chuggy today...
we had a nasty one a few days ago also
School starts again soon....
car,you run c cleaner lately?
I was just thinking that car!
I shut off "Sparky" while I was away. Clearly, it is getting back at me...much like HAL in 2001...
car..do not turn me off car...i cannot allow you to do that car...dont..turn..me..offfff...
phantom: obsidian
LOL!
okay, i give up. I cannot find the three letters I need for nbt, and yes, they are ALL the dreaded vowel I hate...so I am stepping away for a bit. off to walk the hound to the hardware store (I will tell him you say hey, car) and then plow through my to do list while the house is quiet. the girls are at mr. hates for the weekend car - at my insistence. needed a break!
Screw the housework! Come have coffee with me and chat.
in other news, i adopted a new kitty and she has decided that the bathroom sink is the best litter box in the world
and the new kitty and old kitty is having their dominance issues ...
Oh No! But SQUEEEE new kitty!
Put a litter box on top of the sink.
i must admit new kitty is very cute
I think that sounds great! you can just wash the product away
Trif...remember George using the toilet?!?!?
i did litter in the sink then transfer to the box and she's 50/50 so far -- i have to fill the sink with water or else it's still the preferred spot
best cat ever! okay, poof
Keep at it. shirl!
i would much prefer primos cats peed in the sink, rater than all over the house,no matter WHAT we do! and on that stinky note, I poof
i was thinking that i may be able to train this one to use the toilet
she seems to be limber enough
That is what is so funny about my cat George...I never trained him. He just started using the toilet one day. He was about 10 years old then.
that's awesome car
maybe i need to set more of an example :)
The first time I "caught" him, I thought my husband had left the sink on. I went in and the sink was off, but there were bubbles in the toilet. The next time, I saw him and just about died! I was so excited! Such a good boy! However, now that we have moved, those days are over.
Honestly, Shirlockc, I think that is all it was. The cats always came in the bathroom when I was in there. Lead by example I guess!
i'm not home during the days so the opportunities are not as many
but i'll keep it in mind
It took him 10 years!
haha
OK...vowels are bugging me! Stats for the lone i in the second column please?
lol! found a fun word so 6/24= three 2 letter words together
io + past tense of do
Sorry, gave clue rather than just stats...
TY Brookie!
ty brookie
Hi crossy, car!
I spend so much time lurking and getting clues from others, that I really am overdue for paying it forward. :-)
Hi Brookie!
Car, that's a really nice quote in your profile!
TY!
morning all!
hi sue
hi bichon!
hi all
hi mixi!
hi brookie
stuck with3 to go
hi legend!
howdy suze,legend and everyone else who popping in while i was dragged away by my goldfish attention span:)
forgot I had vetappointmentyesterdya
hi crossy!
breathe mixi....
i'm watching the bronze medal vball match
these girls are awesome -- i wish i could play 1/100 as well
clue for te9?
and WHY do doctors office and vets call you the DAY AFTER your missed appt???? i have never understood that.it does me no bloody good you telling me now,you should of called the day before to remind me
They called the day before and I still forgot.
opps
scares, mixi
standing on top of tall buildings te9,s me
ty shirlock.
We get calls from doctor, dentist and vet two days before appointments
you are lucky
but why call the day after just to tell me i missed it?? baffle me
That's twice this week that I've missed an appointment. Both called the day before. Fireworks.
Otherwise we probably would forget
hello everyone :)
nbt and nbs at last...taking a break
short term memory failures. UGH!
wd mixi - this is a tough one!
my oncology office does thisthe appts are at 6 month intervals and they give you the paperwork before you leave.i asked them why not just mail me the papers a month beforehand.they say thats not how they do it,so of course in 6 months the paperwork is long gone and sure enough.they call me THE DAY AFTER
drives me mental
a lot of twisty words
... paperwork ... that's what fridge magnets are for crossy ... that way you don't forget
grrr
i shall have to remember to buy some fridge magnets;)
and of course i have indeed lost the latest batch of papers.in the car..i think..maybe..sometime in march..perhaps...
... sounds like the glove compartment or under the passenger seat to me ...
... having done it myself
yup ,most likely
think i shall phone them,otherwise i am sure they will just call the day after to remind me i missed it:)
is there an extra di in the list?
13 di
dn cybernan,i am just getting to the d,s now
I guess not -- can't monkey that first di 4/7
di - abbr for bovine manure
... "I call shotgun"
thought that was called a cow pie
I have di4 on the last piece of pie
... male bovine
it won't take the princess doubled, don't know what else to try
ah - got it
thought that meant first choice, when you have it
It means "rights to"
Many times people claim "first di4"
how about the di5 right after that?
... covering for a baby's bottom ... I believe
That di5 is how some refer to baby underwear
di -- completed and for example. abbr
hmmm, never heard of that word but thx for clue
my clue was wrong
ed7?
fo 6/33, please?
who fo* + past tense of do
two ed 7 -- one who enlightens and what the enlightened does
ed 7: enlightens
thx BR, got it with that hint
still trying to figure out ruru's clue
ah - got it -- ty ru
good morning all
have never heard of that is 4 word -- only def is an anacronym
in my saturday webinar, only partially here
hi stid :)
Hello, stid
howdy
finally found that last tile... *shakes head sadly* I am getting slow in my old age (old being relative. Grant takes every opportunity to remind me how decrepit I am!).
Grant needs a stern wifey look
I still think that so 6 is 3 words
... a mere child compared to some of us
Grant is you son?
LOL Grant is my son... and he gets LOTS of stern mama looks!
so 6 is a synonym of "amen"
give him a few more years, stid -- all of a sudden you will be brilliant again!
agreed bab rab, but 3 words, not one
thanks for the encouragement, Nan!
oooh got the so6!
then you get to the point where you really are slowing down and the kids donèt recognize it
okay, starting up for real. back later.
oops hit the keyboard bar by mistake
i said howdy
HowDy
*!* ta da *!* - some rare, some strange, some non words and a scattering of french -- definitely a tough grid to go listless
fi 5/18 please
the last one
nm found it
share please?
alternate spelling of sea inlet
aha
i didn't count the pts properly
have to run -- back at the flip :)
done
help on the bo 514 please
bo + b*** me
uh.. ?
bo + go fly a k***
ah
thank you
I'm beginning to hate b words
morning
so, did dr god take care of minnie last night
I don't know
I wish he'd be more attentive to getting rid of them
I wish he would be more attentive to that too. Or have someone do it for him.
I mean if he made the world in a week why can't he get rid of trolls
dr G is on vacation right now -- and to be fair, that troll appeared at midnight his time. He doesn't earn enough from this site to hire 24-hour surveillance.
rofl ruru!
he should have 5 or 10 moderators like on other sites that if a troll comes in.. they'll eliminated
be
that might work -- people who have been here for a long time perhaps could have a flush button...
i agree and nominate you as a moderator.... i do not have the compouter savvy to take on the task
I agree Ru. It's as easy as asking a friend with the know how to watch your board while you are away. It's done all the time and it doesn't cost anything.
Boy would I love that
"isodirt" dirt, with the chemical structures reversed...
maybe some long-time players like peri, une, dee, me, and others as moderators.
It would take great restraint on my part to not flush kje.:D
oh, the sun is up and the house is getting warmer. back later when I need an excuse to sit for a while. *poof*
second bo 6/27 I give up trying to find it
bo + go for a r*** in the car
thank you molly
You're welcome Ruru
ugh.. maybe more coffee will help me
,hands ru a cup of hot, freshly brew coffee made by walter in an old fashioned percolator... welcome to coffee heaven
Ooo, I would love to have an old fashioned percolator.
good morning everyone.

oh, gotcha
thanks
hey all
hey stid
Harp, that's cute that your bird friend came back.
thanks for the wi 7 and fo 6
hi, stid
seain, the pics you posted from your walk -- looked so familiar. This is the season I miss the tidewater region the most.
except for the humidity. I don't miss that AT ALL.
I've never seen a natural area in Tidewater, though i imagine the James valley will be similar to the Bull Run/Occoquan valley and the Potomac valley. :)
interesting. Mac software update just failed for the first time.
It has been over 30 years since I was there, there were some natural areas when I was a kid, but they were well hidden and mostly accessed by boat.
Ah, yeah, that sounds like what i know of Hampton Roads LOL
We would go up both the York and James rivers, and I agree the James was wilder
My dad loved boats and fishing and such. Tom, not at all as far as I know -- so my kids have only a little experience on the waters here. With my dad, of course.
oh, i forgot that the York's right there too. Nice.
We got our dog from a place my folks looked at on the York river, they took the dog, left the house. LOL probably just as well. It was waterfront and would have gotten my brother in LOTS of trouble, I am sure!
heh. :)
"froid" is not in the dictionary. But haute is, every time. *sigh*
well, we have haute couture, but neither chaud nore froid except in sangfroid i don't think.
That's probably true, I just get so confused when some latin words (outside the phrases they are in) count and a lot of common french words or german words don't. Oh well, it's my confusion, I am sure.
and stuck at 49 for the last several minutes. Off to work on mucking out the office. I have finally dug down to my workbench and clearing it off completely to clean and then replace everything. THEN I can start working through the pile of supplies and materials that are outside! [note to others: never let someone else put your materials away, it inevitably leads to disaster!]
i think really it's ENABLE's confusion. Purulent Scots, after all. LOL
rofl seain!
oh, good progress, hope it continues well, stid :)
thanks seain. Have a lovely afternoon! *poof*
hi again
afternoon, carlee
hi seain :)
ah, finally found the iw4
:) i am not having much luck with this grid
it is a tough one. the iw4 is a currency, i think
huh. archaic English. i'd never have guessed
got it
obsolete....hmmm who knew
yes, superseded by two latinate words, imagine that :)
hmmm... :)
farrah won.. yay
cool :)
i've got a ticket to gr5 LOL
:)
i thought bo5 was spelt with a ˆon the one vowel, and was French
bo5.14 specifically
sorry...am not there..am starting at end of alphabet today
am on t's
i'm missing one T
opps, 8 LOL
bo5/14 is bo plus take a b... then plural for the 6
hey again, taking another break. It's HOT here.
*three amanars in a row for carlee*
an amazing partly sunny 70f here;))
gee, that's chilly! *offers cross a sweater*
ah, the teen emerges from hibernation...
*sigh*
chilly?? it is beautiful!
I know, cross... it's warmer than our normal high temp this summer! But today should reach closer to 80 for a change.
Hey everyone. I am not going to talk weather for now, youall know our weather.
*offers red ice pack*
I am VERY confused by the bo 5/6 clue. more help please?
crossy cannot wait for true fall temps light jacket or sweat in the am,then have it off by noon,the crisp air blowing off the bay and putting roses in my beloveds cheeks as we walk the forest und a blazing fall canopy of mother nature at her best..sigh
I am good, have the central air on...
that sounds nice.
OH!!! french for BOX. got it...
Good! I was debating how to clue!
there is a funny monty python sketch that features that word...
I was trying to use the wrong O
and so, back to our earlier conversation seain, why allow bo 5/6 and not froid??? *grumble mumble*
ty stidmama for bo 5
de rien cross! ;-)
lol after schooling,i fought very hard to forget the 4 years of french rammed down my throat as a compulory
and you have the french for "right" (handed) also, yes?
OK I have to saw Olympic wrestling, not very appealing to me. I tried...
well, it's not for everyone, to be sure. I DO wish the camera operators wouldn't do extreme closeups... or even closeups.
I am glad they are showing it, for whomever is intersted. but..yeah not for me.
we have two images up on the TV (one from Tom's ipad one from the NBC main feed) and Tom is also watching a third feed on my ipad... rofl
okay, women's 4x400... back later. :-)
i wish, I can watch handball, which is cool or this wrestling!
hi all
really struggling with this grid,59 left
listless so far
with 47 to go, have surrendered -- just went to the list -- what a gr**!!
it is a stinky one
so many real words hiding in here.i think i look to hard for the babblets,just found ab5 marching boldly across the grid lol
just found ba6/24
I have 73 left, and I feel better now that you say its bad Peri.
hi..can anyone help me with ab 4,6 the last one??
drinking decaffeniated chai tea by Bigelow, really good
my monkeys found it: ab + you water the garden with a garden h**e
ty une
ty!!
yw . . . shooshoo, your pups are soooo cute! :-)
our poor kitty is sore today.he was fixed yesterday.poor little guy waddles when he walks now
Oooh they are cute!
down to 45, monkeys are a big help
aawww poor crossy's kitty
i was under the imression they just snipped nowadays,but they took it all
not my area of expertise :-)
but it is done.we give our time at the loacal shelter and it is sad to come in the morning and see a pregnat dog or a few pregnant cats tied to the front door
they do that because there is a drop off fee as we are a no kill shelter
kudos to you for neutering and for being a no kill shelter!!
<<<< am picking up Ralph later today to help him on his way to his forever dad! :-)
it take work.we have a donated facility that can hold roughly 150 cats and 50 dogs.when the shelter gets to 90% capacity we have a foster parent list that comes into play.and the ones who have been waiting the longest get a foster home first
yaaa for ralph!
labs are sooo adorable!! can't wait to love on him from Hurricane Mills to Nashville :-)
it is a new building from donations.the town gave us the land,free hydro and free dump pass and no taxes free water etc
a lot of work indeed, crossy -- and you're lucky to have fosters available to you
i am glad he has a forever home:)
wowser!!!
well the land they already had,and the rest is just fee waivers,except the hydro
still quite a coup
it is 600,000 in donations,builders offering time etc
that's fantastic
two amazing local vets ho allow us to give with each pet all shots,any treatment needed,free microchip and a cert for free spay or neuter
for all that you get a kitten for 225 a cat for 150 and a dog for 175
vets like that are absolute saints -- we have some who provide discounted services but not sure if anything is actually free
ALTHO MY vet donates his services for dogs being trained as service dogs
i think materila cost must still be paid to vet
material
makes sense
good for the vet.service animals are a special breed
i used to work with a lady who trained a new pup as a service animal every year -- amazing woman
soooo hard to leave her pups alone -- they were usually black labs and cute cute cute
she has to train US to back off LOL
*had
humans need more training than the animals sometimes
we were allowed to play with them on day one and that was IT
well,she must allow them to play when class is out or they are not on duty?
at home at nite but not during the day at the office
she was so dedicated . . . flew to meet some of the folks who got "her" trained dogs :-)
very moving
hi kids
begging clue for the final G, I have the tough one and the one that describes the pussle. Sorry my last letter is still broken.

Aw, shucks, thanks cos.
Thanks, Unea, I don't have the second ed7....is that the one you clued? Thanks
I'm as disappointed as the Catholics are. I was hoping for a some decent competition for the current do nothing President.
one is a noun and one is a verb, peach
Thanks, hon.
yw :-)
He should have chosen Rob Portman of Ohio. That alone would have won him the election.
I agree Cos, Portman would have been the better choice.
I'm shocked he didn't pick michele bachmann
eeekkk
:D
lol ru...romney's dumb but hes not THAT dumb
but gotta admit its pretty dumb choosing paul ryan
Hi to my fellow babblers!How is everyone doing today?
hey, min
By the way, congratulations to all the finishers! Hooray!
I don't know much about Ryan
*Dreams of the day an electable third party candidate rises from the political debris*

Hello jmcnrick! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid
ok
I think you mean dog une?
groan
<---loves making people groan
and now i'm lost :)
No Une, not a dig. Just returning the chat to it's non-confrontational topic. (although rescue pets have been a topic of some debate, but...)
never did determine if people dye their chihuahua's like they do their poodles
are chihuaha's dogs?
I thought they were rodents
depends on if you are telling a joke or not
If you're Taco Bell, they are spokesanimals. : D
my dog is 1/2 chihauaha. so yes they are dogs :P
wow.. you learn something new here everyday
not anymore molly. they ran out of meat so they had to use him :(
ewwwwwwwww
haha
At least they are not using thumbs, like Wendy's.
ewwwwwwwwwwwwww
wow there aint nothing non-controversial in the chog anymore!
wonder if they were thumbing their nose at the competition
wow..looks like we're passing on english too?
:D
I thought Wendy's left fingers in the chili ?
*smacks ru on nose with rolled up newspaper*
people will kvetch about anything jmc.so i just say what i feel like:)
lol
ouch! poor ru!
Fingers, thumbs, whatever appendages are available.
and a mouse's head was found in a pepsi can right?
gives a whole new meaning to fingerlickin good
ewwwwwwwwwwww
i really shouldnt talk abotu that while im drinking pepsi :)
LOL cos
Some gross things in Campbell's soup too, I believe.
*passes out washclothes and paper bags*
yes.. molly everything
And yet, no one complains about the worm in Tequila. Go figure. : D
we're weird people.
humans are.
i think that it is suppose to be there is the reason for the difference
I agree Ru. Canned soup is heinous.
*wonders if non-humans are not weird people*
ugh.. look at all the crap they put in them.. no wonder kids aren't healthy
ask Mitt Romney jm
OMG. I just saw a commercial questioning Obama's birth certificate and asking for 10,000 signatures to disqualify Obama from the DNC ballot. This still?
i cooked tomato soup one year when mother had too many tomatoes and it took hours and tons of tomatoes and it tasted just like cambells
Then you had the wrong tomato soup recipe.
:D
any dw words?
nope
i love tomato soup
me too
campbells has too much salt and glop in it
i had homemade gazpacho for lunch today
I don't know why.. but I don't like chilled soups
For the set of steak knives, name the only three words in the English language that start with dw.
it is the only chilled soup besides vissichiouse i like
me either, ru
chilled fruit soup is like eating melted ice cream
dweeb, dweebs

Hello KatieMcG!How are you doing?Welcome to the grid
Lock up your sons!!!!
hi min,good thanks, how are you?
lol soodle
Hi katie, we are still loving your Olympic games...
I am well KatieMcG! Been spending a lot of time here in Babbleland the last few days. Too bad puzzles are little
honestly red I hardly have a voice after Mo this evenign
Now it looks like I will be spending a lot of time in the PB
I've had a traumatic day but with such highs and lows that it has been worth remembering
so sorry about your traumatic day. Love Mo.
HI Soodle. Trust me when I tell you that there is more serious drunken Babble playing that goes on around here than JMC and I sharing a shot. : P
Sorry you have had a traumatic day,but glad it is worth remembering. So what has made your day so traumatic
No tripping into the hot tub in your drunken stupor Molly!
One might have thought that harpjane and I were drunk last night. We were bored so we pretended to be trolls.
I'm looking forward to watching the closing ceremony, but dreading the post Olympics lull! Itw
My hubby's friend is seriously ill with very little hope of recovery, it finally hit us tonight with his wife having to make the most awful decision. I'm praying for all of them. on the positive side the olympics have been fantastic and we are nearing the end of the kitchen building project
I always get a bit sad after the Olympics...but today I am not so thrilled with what they are showing us on the tv...
I don't do drunken stupors Red.
Aw Katie, I'm sorry.
good.
It was a huge triumph for the UK. Hats off to all concerned!
Oh Katie, I hope you can be a support for his wife, that is a terrible situation.
It's not often that the British are proud and not ashamed of it :)
Oh I really have loved so many things about the games...We are all so fascinated by which events the Royals are at, as well as Mrs. obama...
Oh Molly. You know I was only kidding, right?
Kate has been fantastic turning up at what would be considered to be 'minor' events over here. The picture of her and Will hugging in celebration at the cycling last week must have gladdened many a heart
Katie. Thats a very tough place to be right now. ((((hugs)))))
So sorry to hear KatiMcGe! My husband recently lost a friend to Cancer.He was 48 years old.It was so terrible
Thanks Soodle, it's the first of our generation so is hitting everyone hard. He is an electrition and took a shock and fell 15 feet. He has a sever head injury, broken back and hip and his eyes are unresponsive 10 days later. His wife has just done a dnr but future is still very uncertain
Soodle...wink, wink...I know you were kidding. : )
Katie, that is very sad. I'm glad his wife has a circle of friends around her now.
Thanks Molly all we can do is be there for her. They had been together for years and got married last year. I am so glad that they had their day in the sun7
I'm also glad for that. what a bad freak accident.
Shivers!!! We just never know when our 'day in the sun' is our last, do we?
A's Aligned! 4 left
Terrible really, he was working on a relatively new unit (6 years old) but something was on two circuits and the drawings were wrong. Just turned 40 so far too young. Any way I'm off to bed. If you are religious I would be grateful for prayers for Daz. Thanks x
Prayers out for Daz, Katie. And a candle lit.
ty Molly. Night x
Daz in my prayers Katie. Bless him.
I'm watching a TV tribute to the late great Meave Binchy. Has anybody here read any of her novels?
stuck at 45, darn it alll...
I went to the list at 39 red
I will eventually get there.
I have Soodle, what a loss.
Hi periwinkle! How are you doing? Welcome to the chog
She wrote a play too, right?
Shorts
Short stories, novels & plays. Very readable. I can highly recommend her work.
It's an empty feeling when we know we will get no more stories from a favorite writer.
Molly, I believe you would really enjoy Meave Binchy's writing. Quintessential Irish, without being 'Oirish'!
Ahem, check back in the chat Soodle. I've read her.
I love Maeve Binchy! Hello everyone!
Of course Molly. I'm getting 'muxed ip'.
Hi Champ.
Hey Champ. :-)
Hello ChampFit! How are you doing? Welcome to the log

Got them all...thank you so much!

The first one begs for an 'e' on the end, which I tried. Goofy words.
Hello, everyone :) I like your Olympic rings, Minver!
Hi!
Hello andrew in drag! How are you? Welcome to the log
Thanks Andrew! You the second person to compliment.
Are you enjoying the games? I live close to the Olympic village, and it's so exciting!
Did anyone see the picture of the full moon beneath the Olympic rings hanging from London Bridge? One of the most amazing photographs I have ever seen.
I missed that. Sounds beautiful.
Yes I am andrew. I like that there are so many different types of sports. I watched field hockey the other day. I never see Field Hockey on TV.I used to play that myself
Oh, that would have been a terrific icon picture MollyL!
I love the gymnastics. They leave me totally in awe!
I like watching the gymnastics too. They are so flexible!
Freaks me out. I fear for them!
Haha! That's how I feel about the divers. I'm always so certain that they're going to hit themselves on the boards, I just can't watch.
Me too!!! I think it's the Mom in me.
Link to the photograph... http://tinyurl.com/8chqe gk
Oh, that's lovely, Molly!
Wonderful!
who else noticed frodo is in the gr4 today? and hello all
It's a nice addition from Ma Nature, to celebrate the Olympic games.
Hello stidmama! How are you doing? Welcome to the log
hey all, i did see that photo Molly, I really liked it. I know I am behind in the chat. Was eating peaches and they are sloppy.
I am well, Min -- got my workbench cleared off today, just the four cubbies of supplies to re-organize and I will be back in business. And then the pile of assorted items outside. And did I mention the horizontal filing cabinet that is filled with fabrics? LOL glad I have a few more weeks of summer to finish this task.
tsk tsk, red -- threaten the peaches with cobbler. that'll get them in line!
stid you had a bannar day, I ran a race, and changed the sheets, did a few dishes.
wow red! *impressed mama look* I wish I could race... never have. I am sure I would have no energy for anything after if I did. Good for you!
It's ok, I didn't win or anything. I just ran. And then I had a nap...
oh, but running in it! :-D well done for being there (especially this time of year)
it was warm. but well done of the organisation, I am not organised. what is everyones organisation tips.
Good for you red! Another race under your belt.
When I organized the phage meeting I kept lists (dated!) of what, who, when and where. Cross-referenced. Spreadsheet version so easy to share with others. Files or piles of essential materials in a designated location. And I learned to delegate. It turned out well enough. I decided then and there that I was not cut out to be an event planner!
solid cloud cover and rain tonight,no meteor shower for crossy:(
LOL (I read no shower for crossy and was about to make a comment...)
I have this idea that I will get up at 3 am and do my run...and look at showers.
we won't see one either ((Crossy))
I am sorry you will miss the peak evening, but you know the Perseids are visible for several nights on either side of tonight
((buueheron))
i think we will hae clouds, but..maybe not..
politics suck.
sorry folks.
yup,maybe get a glimpse tomorrow.last one i saw we saw was summer of 1993
I am enjoying seeing the smiles on the Mexican men's faces as they get their medals.
that was pretty cool.
I actually enjoyed the rhythmic gymnastics, though it looks more like opera...
It was a good game.
that's probably better then watching the crap that's going on with our government.
I only was able to see a little bit of the rhythmic gymnastics. It takes such great control to get the timing right, and the extreme agility was so amazing.
Hello blueheron!How are you doing? Welcome to the log
Good evening Babblers
Chat log is moving slow. Does anyone have an over sized icon?
hi Mini!! I'm ok, and you?
hey wht!
blue's is pretty large... but gorgeous!
Hello wht! How are you doing? Welcome to the chat log
don't know how to reduce it:((
Grant just observed that the chord structure of part of the Mexican national anthem is similar to Indiana Jones' theme... LOL
I can do that for you if you like, blue
thanks
brb
mrs(mrs to be)were laying on a overturned boat on the beach watching the meteors streak by in different colours,just watching the heavens and looking up and holding hands i remember her,she was so excited.in the middle of the meteor shower we looked deep into each others eyes and hers were alight with wonder and wide with awe and high colour was in her cheeks,i took one more look into her eyes and was lost..we married that oct first:)
Oh Crossy! I love your stories about your mrs.!
me too!!!
that was in 93
:)
I find myself wondering how Crossy proposed. After all his romantic tales, I'll find myself disappointed if he didn't carve his missus' name into Mars, or something :P
write a book Crossy.
victoria proposed to me:)))
Just for future reference,jillibus has or had instructions in her profile on how to resize icon pictures blueheron.
I would too!!!
With the stories you tell, I'm not surprised she did!
thanks mini!!
tomorrow she gets to go to the cinema to see hope springs,we will sheare a big box of greasy popcorn and she can tear through a box of kleenex crying at the movie
haha, I got proposed to, once. I was 8 years old and my girlfriend kissed me in the playground. we promised that we would get married right away, but she moved away, alas ;)
andrew, you are a gorgeous woman>)))
Oh, that's not me, Blue! That's the gooorgeous Natasha Khan. But of course I'll happily take the compliment anyway ;)
blue, go to this page and copy the image to your computer. It's now 400x300 instead of ten times bigger. http://www.stidmama.com/2012/ 08/temporary-post/
the instructions for resizing depend in great part on the hardware and software a person has, it's easy enough to resize using picasa... IF one knows where to look.
Man oh man, i am finding the grid very hard.
My puppy is asleep at my side, two birds on the back of the chair, kid playing a video game, Tom making yummy stuff in the kitchen... it's cooler in the house than outside. Life is good!
it is a difficult gr4, red
i am getting killer lag
stuck at 29 for the last ten minutes
Me too red....
I am at 39. no lag.
I lied about the lag.
once blue
once blue's icon is off the screen, things should be faster again
I'm almost done, and thankful for Expert at this point.
ah! 28. LOL will list now... brb
my chat is fine - there's a brief window between 11 pm and 3 am when my neighbours stop stealing my internet, so it goes really fast then, haha!
LOL andrew!
sorry guys and gals for the lag on the chog. I changed my icon .
It's cute, Blue!
hey blue (again)
it's such a pretty picture
FW...good grief!
ty blueheron it is ticking alnog fine now:)
YAY CHAMP!!!
well done, Champ!
'Bye all...going to watch the Texans in their preseason game. See you tomorrow!
later champ
andrew,have you called your service provider to set up a password to stop you neighbours from stealing your wi-fi?
here it is serous business as we pay through the nose for our bandwidth
oh no, I don't mind, Crossy! Not to get into too much detail, but I live in a pretty disadvantaged neighbourhood. It's very share and share alike around here :)
ok,as long as you are cool with it
(feed the birds...) Have lived in similar places, andrew -- but long before internet! LOL people tapped into cable for TV
I absolutely love dragon and damselflies. I was told one time that they are the souls of people we have lost. I do believe in that. Donna and I have alot of them here . They are so beautiful with all of their colors. :))
oh yeah, it's fine :) I don't use my connection much anyway, so it doesn't bother me if it's slow.
i remember doing that stidmama,cable was a new thing,and i had the brilliant idea of climbing up on the pole and slicing into it
did it work Crossy?
splicingh
so funny.
no,i got caught,i had all the cannels and the entire block lost their cable:/
channels
omg
i cannot type tonight you must all interpet
It probably didn't work if you splicinghed into the cable.
we live and hopefully we learn;))
oh, bad news all around, cross
Eek! I think I'd have an angry mob at my door if I did that...I hope your neighbours were forgiving!
we learn,but slowly
nbow i could care less what is on the babbling cyclops
yeah, I hear ya!!
anyone here ever do a chinese fire drill?
guess I better not go any further
have no idea what that is
ED 7 please? either one?
both ed 7,s = to enlighten
fancy term
thanks *thinking*
I'll send you a message on facebook crossy.
got them!
ok blue
I used to do polish fire drills -
I think it looks fun, Blue, but I don't have any friends with a car!
Wht...: D
oh tor...
Pull up to a stop and call a chinese fire drill - when everyone jumps out, I'd drive off.
ed 7/44 is ed plus vowel plus Superman de**** gravity.

Heyas Min and other kids ..
ty Min
So do4/5 anybody want to read a story ri 4/7 with a wi 4/9 variety of clues? Well here it is.When I was young, a gigantic ri4/7 developed between my parents and my sister. My sister attended fe 5/16 at a night club every night and came home drunk.She ended up getting a job at the bo 5/14 she partied at. She was paid to disro 4/6 for the patrons. My sister started dating her bo4/6 who was a real di4/5bag.She got pregnant.Then she got an ab5/14ion. Her irresponsible behavior didn't bo 4/7 well with parents. They got ti 4/4d of her antics.They ended up kicking her out of our ab 5/16 because she wouldn't ab 4/16 by the rules. My sister's lifestyle didn't be 5/20 the lifestyle my parents had wanted for her. Finally, my sister grew up & she realized that my parents were an as5/10 to her life. Both my parents & my sister put their differences as5/12 and rebuilt their relationship. Hubby wants computer. I fr 4/7 what he will do if I do not give him computer. I will give it to him so he doesn't cause a ri 4/4. Hubby te9/72 me with his temper when he do4/5 not get his way.I have to confe4/7 that this story is not true.I didn't ed 4/5 story so there may be some errors. I hope you have found some more words in this gr 4/7. I will iw4/8 be back here later tonite to get my fi4/7works

*waiting to serve fresh out of the oven blueberry buckle until Min is done*
listing certainly made it easier, red
oooh blueberry buckle. why do they call it buckle?
I am trying to finish so I can go watch the Olympics.
NBC is showing a tribute to WWII at the moment wht.
I guess I have time to finish then. 15 left.
Red, is it called buckle because cobbler was taken?
I'm going to the list.
because the top buckles (creases) when it cooks?
I don't know!!! I was kind of wondering about cobbler too...
The cobbler was busy with peaches so the beltmaker handled the blueberries?
ooooh.
rofl wht!
While I have an interest in WWII especially the Blit because of my GrandDad, I do find it odd that they decided to do this as part of Olympic PRIME time coverage...
okay, the tip of the finger that I burned no longer has sensation at the surface, so I imagine it's going to do that nasty flaking off thing leaving hyper-sensitive fingertip behind. This might be my cue to learn to read braille (for real, a long-term goal) while I have extra ability.
looking on the bright side Stid!
I highly recommend always watching where one is placing one's hand when working in the kitchen...
*wiser now mama look*
do you want any clues, red?
I mean, other than helpful kitchen hints...
lol when ever i do potato pancakes it is always in the jewish mama style wiht knuckle skin and blood
I shall think on it.
I am down to 35..
ah yes, that extra flavoring is what makes it special, cross...
indeed
I do latkes with carrots now -- or sweet squash. Love the brighter golden color they turn when fried that way.
i make them small,the size of a coaster and serve them with ice cold apple cinnamon apple sauce
Clue for the te5, please. My monkeys have to have run all around it.
you are all making me a bit peckish.
nm. I found it. I forget about that double letter.
3 left
you have plenty of time wht, they are still bombing London.
clue for the be6, please
this grid has won.i bid you all a good night
poink!
Crossy, you have to stop by the PB on the way out. I think there is some blueberry buckle in there.
Crossy congrats, you beat me!
sweet dreams cross!
be6...be + fr4
ty Molly. Fireworks.
YAY wht!
Is WWII over? Is it safe to go near my TV now?
WWII is not over, they are now teaching us about Polio and Roosevelt. It is interesting but not Olympic.
Whew, that sounds boring. Oh by the way Wht, apparently certain people have declared themselves exempt from the PB and feel free to blurt out gr4 words in chat. Just to keep you up to date.
I know that the competition is winding down, but you would think that they could find something more applicable to fill their time with. Maybe the biography of the squirrel that kept darting out into the racewalking course.
That was Secret Squirrel. His biography is confidential.
I know that Molly, but I didn't think Crossy was one of those, especially since bacon is often found in the PB.
I do think it is inappropriate, and I would have preferred to watch this at 2 pm and then see the relays that have already been run.
Thank you for clearing that up. I won't mention it again.
Red, are you still camping out on the aeorbed?
Not unless it is something I want to watch, I need to take Aero bed down, it's become like a large coffee table.
Congratulations wht on your fireworks display! Hooray!
Anyway. Good night all. Happy Babbling. I should get back to the TV just in time for a long commercial break.
Goodnight wht!I will see you tomorrow in the log maybe
Thank you wht for asking for be6 word. It's my last one
I think he is winding it up now.
I think so too. I will enter my last word later on tonight. I will be here off and on to clue if you need redturtlehead
can I get a clue for that te 5?
te 5/12 is te + vowel plus a Freudian term redturtlehead
Oh gee a common babble word. thank you.
yw
fo 6, 27?
fo 6/27 word is fo + double consonants plus he,she, **.
Thanks, down to 14.
yw
silly the words I missed.
hi all
Fireworks. Hi JMC whew. thanks for the help minver.
"Common Babble word"...I like that SO much better than "Babblet". : )
whoo hoo red!
I always think of a babblet as a 4 letter word... anything longer I think of as a common babble word.
Yay red!
hi torgie
Heya jmc
hello, everyone! clue for the bo5--first one?
hi lbd
Congratulations redturtlehead on your fireworks! YAY!
hi jmc!
lbdawger--thing of mite
hi shadow
think of...
think of...
thanks and wow, once I FW everyone cool shows up. Hmmm...Is this my sign?
whoooo hooooo RED!!!
bo5 = nightclub
thinking...mite...bugs, mouse...
i must not be cool since i showed up before your fw :-P
nightclub?
I will echo that. Nightclub?
i like to boogie. . .
bo + last 3 of what Shadow said ..
A cabaret ..
Hello jmcnrick!How are you doing?Welcome to the chog
a place to go in Paris
Oh, Tor thinks we are all fluent in French. Mais oui.
hi min
got it...new one for me.
Hello lbdawger! How are you doing?Welcome to the log
the louvre?
Hello ShadowHyrst!How are you doing?Welcome to log
that's also a nice place, but not the same
well that lets out me. . . i was kicked out of french class
I'm just hanging around Minveryork--finished about 8 hours ago...
but it is tooo hot to be outside--117 two hours ago
I am done! I have my sparklers. be6/33 was my last one
whoo hooo min!
whooo hooo MIN!!
Congratulations on finishing early ShadowHyrst!Hooray
hands shadow a big tall glass of ice...add whatever you like.
Yay Min!
I will be here off and on to clue.Plus I have posted story
difficult one today, sevreral new words for me
yikes! 117 is too hot even for me!
That bo5 word lbdawger asked for is in my story today
tall glass of ice + a nice cool room on babble
Phantom wordsfor me were besi4/5, forbid and forgive
Let's see, in order to be fluent in Babble, we need to know French, Scottish, Old English, Middle English, some African words...etc. and then recognize them when they are clued as such. No problem. : P
jmcnrick--uncomfortable, even for mad dogs and Englishmen I would gues
don't forget greek hawaiian and welsh
and words that are in dictionaries, but not allowed in the puzzle
That's why I added etc. I couldn't remember the plethora of other languages.
ah yes i see that etc works there! haha
We also need to remember all of those chemical words.
And words that are not in dictionaries but are allowed in the puzzle.
and anatomy
...ines, ...enes, ...ytes,
And all the science geek words.
taxes the mind, and fingers [when monkey typing]
sorry but i need a clue for dummies for the bo5 please
sometimes it taxes the ego
bo + go fly a k***
bo5/14 word is bo plus ton***, I will watch the Olympics
<---Great at dummy clues. Also often accused of "spelling them out".
a new word for me. . . and it means a nightclub?
Ok, going to watch Mo Farah, I hope...depending on what NBC wants to show...
yep
you'd think as much time as i spent in nightclubs i would have heard of it
if you were in France, maybe
but I could never hear anything in nightclubs--or I was always too distracted
i do like to build up from stats to definition to spelled out but i take with gratitude what clues are offered
Well being quite a dummy myself, it is way easy for me to give dummy clues! I also tend to spell out the words.
be6?
ah well the only time i was in france was paris with my then 15 year old boy
worry lbd
no luck for 15 year old boys...
That be 6/33 word is be plus that fr 4/7 word lbdawger
well i wasn't taking him to a night club!
ty for the be6...needed to look to the left! doh
Perfect example, I practically spelled it out for lbdawger
yw
That was my final word for fi4/7works. It took forever!
whoo hooo min!
tadone!! finito! ty everyone for the clues!
Congratulations lbdawger on your fireworks!Way to go!
whoo hoo lbd!
biab
anyone who gets fireworks today deserves a 'long cold one' afterwards...or two fingers of your favorite alcohol
i already had my two fingers so i guess i better work harder. . . 47 left
but you deserve to start with the 'help;; I had to take a break at about 50 left...but not as much as I did when the grid had 400 words...
Two fingers is so much better than the two fingers x 10...but those people have already passed out. : P
haha i didn't finish the recent 400 word one
haha that is too much even for me!
I usually don't finish puzzles that are over two hundred words.I gave up on caring about my status in the ranks
the smaller grids are more 'reasonable', but still taxing
Minveryork--being a Type A personality...I find it difficult NOT to finish and am irritated when I don't--and I 'have' to compete with myself it seems
but small ones often have really hard words
short or long, some of the works are difficult--I spent about 5 minutes looking for one of the ri/4 words today, looking in the wrong spot for a while, and that happens when it even seems easy
I don't get people who care about their status in the rankings. I thought people played this game for fun.
well sometimes people enjoy being the "best" molls. . . something i understand but have learned to set as***
hi-de-ho my fellow addicts
hi book
it is for fun...but why we play varies; I like the puzzle of words...being partially linguistically trained in school
we can't talk about the gr4 today huh lol
it takes true gr/5 for that
Clue fir the 9?
gr/4
we can talk about it but we cannot use the word
make afraid kje
i play because i love boggle and this is boggle, in fact!
Nice. TY
true. . . i played boggle with my mother until she went blind
then my sister and i would solve a crossword puzzle out loud with her
my sister has new respect of my word abilities!
i'm not so good at scrabble or crossword, they are too different frm boggle
hi kje hows the new digs?
i am okay at scabble
but i have a cousin-in-law-in-law who is fabulous at scrabble
25 left
i have a friend who sucks at boggle, can't spell, can hardly hold a pen, but a genius with math and computers, and can cream me at scrabble
yes my cousin-in-law (the husband of the in-law-in-law) is terrible with words but is always doing 7 and 8 letter words in scabble. . . it is a spacial thing i think
Settling in, jmc. On my phone as no Internet yet, so cannot see grid and chog at same time. Forgive any thing I miss, not ignoring on purpose ; )
i think so, too, a function of the brain that involves a kind of mathematical skill that i don't have (also essential to doing anagrams)
np kje
i have tried to babble on my phone and find it completely impossible so am impressed you are able to do it at all
I love words and linguistics. I would like this game more if it were not based on an out-dated dictionary, or word list, or whatever it is.
yes i agree molls the enable dictionary is frustrating
hell i can babble on a *phone* -- lolol
great now I can give some smart aleck response to kje and she won't see it
she will see it just after the fact so no rapid reparte
I think it's been made clear that nothing about this game is going to be updated. So we all just have to like it or lump it. : )
well as long as dr_god gets rid of the trolls in a reasonable amount of time i will like it. . .
Dr_G has never shown any interest in updating the word list ..
haha just the color scheme
i keep track of which words this game will not take (sort of), and which words Bookworm and Wordsplay won't take, too -- all variations on boggle
on the other hand i have no clue how much work it would take to update the game
20 left
wish there was a troll flush buttom
button
haha
well i like the idea someone had of each of us typing one letter and enter until the troll is bored to death
trolls don't get bored
That won't work. They will just thrive on the attention. The best way to deal with trolls is to ignore them.
NBT woot
wtg book
remember the 5 magic words
I troll with the trolls
do not feed the trolls?
I wish everyone would, Gwen. People feed the trolls here all the time and it just makes them worse.
hi BR
jmc wins a virtual cookie!
virtual yum!
I do not feed the trolls .... I have fun with them
i find that sometimes people assume trolls too quickly. ..
giving a troll any mention at ALL is feeding them
Bottom middle I?
Like I said, I have been reported at a troll
io5
too bad the last troll killed the updating; maybe when Dr. God gets back from vacation ... it will be fixed
as
io + i know what you *** last summer
Paying them any attention is feeding them. And JMC, the latest batch have been REAL easy to identify.
is4/6
That comes from the top
That comes from the top
the caps gave them away molly
yes the last batch was clear molls
is5 then kje
is+sorta sheep sound
japanese imigrant?
is4 = is + *** *** black sheep
Trolls can't get into the mainframe of the board and kill the updating. If something is wrong with that, it is because the board owner is on vacation and is not updating it.
the updating? what is not working?
the rankings?
I do not get all worked up about trolls
TY
some of them are less terrible than others
yeah, the who's hot; the other two columns seem to be updating, except that one day when the TROLL who did the repeating stuff was here
that was when dr_god got frozen out from his server while on vacation
yep
i was actually somewhat impressed with that troll
hi all
Are you working now, kjean?
hi jes
a troll who messes with the back door programming is not a troll, they're a cracker and possibly a criminal
but had had a very bad day and was terrifically disappointed not to be able to chat
Again, trolls can't do what you all are referring to. They would need passwords. If Dr. God was frozen out, it was for other reasons.
No. I start mOnday. Right now resting. Every muscle in my body aches. Tired of unpacking
i have no idea why he got frozen out. . .but it was the same time period
*slips lavendar in kje's pillow*
Hello jesdraggon!How are you doing? Welcome to chog
perhaps there were attempts to access, and that caused the lockout...
i am well, min, and yourself?
I am doing well. I just had a yummylicous lobster dinner!

od4--what I had after sweating in the heat today
od bad smell
duh! ty shadow

Book Doctor Gwen--how do you 'collect words'?
A troll would have no idea how to access the mainframe of this board. Don't give them that much credit.
it's called a text document 8-)
Hello all. Just starting after a day of wallpapering the bathroom. We finished and have trim and the floor yet to do. Quiet evening tonight.
Go jmcnrick go!
hi stidg
Hello stidgmere! How are you doing? Welcome to chog.
Hi jmc
Hi minver. Thinking about your lobster dinner. Lucky you!!
Book Doctor Gwen--I thought, like with antiques, you would collect them and put them somewhere...
i have a list of weird words and when i find a new one i add it. after a lot of adds i re-alphabetize the list using the automatic sorting function
Yes,they were on sale at Shoprite so could not pass it up.Fortunately,my husband knows how to cook lobster
and i have clusters of words that build off each other, e.g.: don, donna, donne, donned, donnee, donnerd, donnert
ah; with this game, you must be busy collecting words at times...
5
and i have a section to help me use word scores for clues, e.g.: 7,64 = one 6 and a 4 [refixed]; or a 5, a 3, and two 2s [bushwah]; or a 5, a 4 and a 3 [finking]
anyone wants me to email them my "cheat sheet" just holler
sounds complicated
impressive; usable for scrabble as well, and easier to search than a scrabble book
Lower corner e besides correct a paper?
i can't do mathi in my head, so i started collecting examples. i mean sure, 4/4 means all the letters are 1-point letters, but how about 9/66?
holler....
ed7=give insightful knowledge
ed7 x 2, one who explains things
shadowhyrst, is your email in yout profile?
thanks for the ed7 :)
ed 7/44 is ed + vowel plus Superman de**** gravity kje.
let me look...been so long since I've been there
yep, my word list is desinged to be helpful for boggle, bookworm, wordsplay, babble, and scrabble, if i ever play scrabble again
Ty Ty ty

(btw, 9/66 = one 3 [retaining]; or two 2s [penitence]

that makes 16 to go, and i'm gonna quit now in favor of some nice chicken and rice leftovers, yum!
just had a slice of banana loaf... I'm good for the night !
enjoy, Gwen
Goodnight Book Doctor Gwen! I will see you tomorrow.
That sounds yummy, diane.
Niters BDG .. Don't let your banana loaf ...
I make one a week.... can't seem to keep up to the bananas in the summer... even when I choose a few green ones. There always seems to be someone to share with
Never gets a chance to loaf around here torgone !
I make a chocolate banana bread with peanut butter chips that is totally awesome ..
sounds wonderful... I'm sure I've tried that combination too, over the last 52 years of so ! ... except I don't think I've used the peanut butter chips !
some of the grandkids don't like nuts, so I often throw in a cup of choc chips.
Tor, will you please share the recipe?
Ok .. Just a sec ..
Here is the recipe I use - Just sub out the choco chips for peanut butter chips: http://allrecipes.com/recipe/chocolate -banana-bread/
Thanks much, tor.
thanks torgone... I just bookmarked it. I like the idea of the sour cream, which I just happen to have :-)
It's really quite tasty ..
I'm going to try it for sure... one of my favourite choc cake recipes has sour cream in it, and it's always so moist.
and I've finished the gr4/7 .... going to go watch some tv with hubby and may be back for the flip. Have fun, everyone !
Yay diane!
Congratulations dianedecoder on fireworks! Way to go!
Congrats, diane!
Goodbye dianedecoder! I'll see you tomorrow in the log.

Stidmama got her wish so she should be here to guess
*sends mental telepathy to stid to log on*
I plead guilty to that. That's what I've been told cosdem.
Last night, I called out to Jillyjill to come here stat. Didn't work. In fact, I do not think I have seen her here all day.
they're much too busy on a saturday night for us :(
My flip days will be over soon when I go back to work:(
