Morning all - any clues for the ar 8/9 please
no ar8/9 combo, kazzer
Kazzer, 2 extra words in the list....don't worry bout them
haha - they are in the disctionary though so I have stuck them into lickety
Going to eat some worms while you're down there, granny?
lol, tor....so th5 are peeps still he4.
I am going shortly - need to visit the docs this morning - just a routine blood test but it does take up babble time when I dont see, to have much at the moment
Yup .. Up a bit later than usual, but oh well ..
hey tor, any words of wisdom for me on how to deal with a hubby who sits in front of a laptop all day, when th5's a bathroom to paint?
hide the laptop
rofl, hey urshy, how are you, hun?
hi rose - all good thanks and you ?
much better, thanx urshy. had hydro this AM, pain levels right down.
had 3 new exercises today, so expected the worst and nothing much has happened. :) i think i'm finally on my way.
Rose - my hubby spends his entire time preparing motorcycles for my son and I couldn't list here all the jobs that need doing around this house!!
:( i feel for you sister.
I daren't complain - that would be sacrilege(?) in this house
A good trick is to start doing something, but do some aspect of it wrong so that his instinct to do it the right way kicks in.
ahhh, like use the wrong sort of sandpaper??
or ask for sandpaper so that i can hand sand the filler. ooohhhh.....th4 would drive him nuts.
No - doesn't work. I'm just going to start paying someone to do things - he still has Yorkshire blood in him
Men don't like to feel that they're forced into doing something, but we love to butt in and try to make sure something is done the right way ..
Fireworks
btw,are you speaking from experience, tor?
Yay anike!
WTG ANIKE!!!!!
Anyway- got work to do so will say goodbye. Good to hear you are making progress Rose
oh for goodness sake! my canary has just let loose the most beautiful song, and it's almost dusk.....
Happy babbling everyone - back tomorrow
night, anike, have a good one, hun.
That's the extreme way to do it - threaten to pay someone else to do a job - A man will absolutely bristle at this ..
tor, have given this guy over 2 years to finish this bathroom....don't think i am forcing him, or nagging, do you?
Men resist nagging, but most enjoy a challenge - Find a way to challenge him to do it without impugning his masculinity ..
Or withhold sex - that works too .. ;^)
But seriously ..
waiting with bated breath, tor......
not going down the sex path....means i miss out also.
okay then, would appear tor has left the building.....and so must i! enjoy the grid fellow babblers.it really is a fun one, with very few strange words in it.
hi hi hi! what I can't figure out is why, when Hubs was a carpenter/contractor for years, all at once everything wrong in the house is now my problem. if it was wrong with his shop, he'd do it quick. not so in the house!
but if you must go, that's okay. I just got he4, seems a nice grid as you say. :)
must be all alone he4, then, whee, gonna clean out the fridge in the penalty box, hmmm, anything good left? snarf, gulp, chomp... ;p
good morning everyone.crossy hates insomnia:(
oops, crossy caught me eating all the goodies... :O
busted!
morning
howdy emma
hello! :)
I'm up too late, too, crossy, and have to take Hubs down to Peoria to a specialist tomorrow - glad it's not too early an appointment.
in same boat,appt tomorrow afternoon ,so will grab hour or 2 of sleep tween 5 and 9 am
I don't sleep much these days, or at least not long at a stretch. if I do, everything hurts too much when I wake up, takes ages to stretch out and loosen up. :P
nice po 5/16 7/40 7/40 8/55 combo :) one who hunts game out of season
maybe I need a better mattress, lol!
ooh, ty, didn't have that yet.
Just got that one too!
poor rbud:( i usuall sleep from 1-3 am then from 6-8 am then an hour nap on couch in afternoon..thats about it
I had the immortal bug, the ro5 etc, though.
asthma,apnea and bad knees are my banes for sleep
eww,crossy hates ro5,s..i can shoot anything gut anything wrap myself in snakes and spider,but i loathe ro5,s
don't like them either, used to just re5 out and smack them and scrub my hand later (if nothing else was handy to use). anything to kill them quick, lol!
they are very,very rare in this area
thankfully haven't had much of a problem with them in this house, yay
i have seen 2 in last 30 years(both in restaraunts)
but in Florida, yuck, they were everywhere.
ewww
gues no winters to kill them off
our winters can be a curse,but also a blessing
I had to stop loaning VHS movies from our library because they were coming back from people with them in the cases! :P
ugh,my brother got infested with them in NYC and he tells me that they lay eggs in his books on the book shelves
he basically had to burn everything and start all over
yes, when we moved back up he4, we tarped and fumigated our little trailer of stuff repeatedly before moving anything in, then still had to throw out some stuff.
like my spiral bound cookbook, they were in the spine area still.
shudder...
tough buggers
watched a show on them.if iran does noke the worlk,ro5,s will live the longest.they can absorb 16x the radion that a human can
world
nuke
that's why I called them the immortal bug, lol, I've heard that kind of stuff about them, too
what is that bug down south that hibernates for 16 years?
cicida (sp) ?
not sure - but locusts or cicadas have cycles of many years between them, maybe those?
yep, snap
some are on 7 year cycles, some more, different varieties. amazing creatures. we have some this year, saw the empty shell on a tree the other day.
we miss out on all that fun stuff because of our winter temps:) though our winters have not been much to speak of last 3 years or so
need the lower right E for nbt, anyone have it?
i have a es 5/10
have no idea which e it is from
and ep 4/5 and 5/12

Licketys list has two extra words: ar8/9. Thought I'd better say so that no-one spends 30 minutes looking for the buggers like I just did.
ty dachef

my goal is to find 125 and try to get an hours sleep
closing in on (listless) 200, will likely give up at that point for tonight, but would love the 9 - ca 8 and 9 it says in back chog
I have a ca8, but it doesn't go longer

crossy gets up on his soap box and pr8/55,s once in a while;)
tx :-)
np:)
100 to go -- BBL *poof*
phantom "anteater"
ge4= oriental wooden sandals.lots of fun words today
I have ra 6 and 7, just like the small packet sa 6 and 7 - thought those had a T in them, normally
they do from a tool standpoint
guess the T version is a phantom in this grid, I tried it
ta4= a guage in car to monitor rpms,now add a vowel for ta 5/14 and pl it for 6/24
po5 and 7, where I want to sit and rock, or swing, maybe?
ty
this house has no po5, planning to add one soon, so I can grow old happily
a proper home should always have a nice one
I totally agree! been nudging the old man for years.
was always functional up north as well,was where we kept the secondary wood pile so as to not have to run to the main pile all the time
will never forget it..5 bush cord and 2 face cord of soft wood t6o heat a 1500 sq foot home for winter.wood chips and bark everywhere
but you got used to it,and there is nothing like coming home to a wood fire after working out in minus 30 all day
and not having to rely too heavy on the power lines is nice:)
have lived in several woodstove homes, very sentimental about it, in spite of the mess.
power goes out,you fire up the kerosene lamps and carry on per usual lol just put the freezer stuff out in the snow banks lol
one year the local Tri-County heat aid people bought our wood for the winter, as it was our only form of he4, kinda neat - usually they just pay folks' heat bills for a couple of months in the winter
that is neat
you have to be a certain distance up north to get the heat rebate here
and one year a crew came and built a stand for a 55 gal barrel, and filled it with kerosene, as that was my main form of heat that year.
and it is more applied as a tax credit than actual cash or wood
I've roughed it, for sure. Kerosene heater and a heated waterbed, lol. Long winter.
lol,we had a stove like that once! loved it.except our ran on stove oil,
it looked like a old round top fridge and you adjusted the heat vents by hand and it had a burner ring you lit with a taper and a small blower fan
that little oil heater could blow us right out of the place no matter the temp outside
the one year we had an oil stove like that, the oil froze in the lines and wouldn't keep it going! luckily we had woodstove backup in the next room. The winter our first baby was born.
yes,the stove oil does get thick below minus 25 or so
ah, the romantic nights in front of the woodstove, teeth chattering, huddling for warmth, gotta love it. :)
lol,getting all misty over a old coal oil stove,but it was a nice heat as well
my grandparents never had anything but wood heat and a wood kitchen stove as well. that baby would run you right out of the house!
had to open windows.
chattering? i do not know what type of wood stove you had,but ours was a old franklin stove could hold 22 inch lengths and if you let it get away on you,you spent all day with the windows open,no matter the temp outside
snap
love the wood kitchen ranges
yes, I think Grandpa's living room one was similar, big long stove on its side, very long wood.
our hunt camp had one with a water boiler
Grandma said she couldn't cook on newfangled gas range, hated it.
we used to float a 12 volt pool pump in it on 2 blocks of styrofoam and run a line to a shower stall lol
ingenious! :D
it is hard,but once you get used to a wood range and learn its sweet spots,you are good to go
at first you usually burn everything to a crisp lol
and you can still order them!
and combo wood /natural gas/propane
i would love a wood/propane combo kitchen range aga range company makes them
I did spend one winter with just a tall skinny (but very pretty) Red Oak stove, in a badly insulated house, pulled the couches up close and spent the whole winter with my feet right on the skirt of the stove.
and cooked on top of it, lots of beans and ham.
lol,we used to dry our boot liners on the skirts
only problem with that type of heat is staying awake after a hard day
it is better than any sleeping pill
that year we were snowed in for over 3 weeks, couldn't get out of the driveway. one day a four-wheel-drive finally came down our road, we shovelled out and followed the tracks in. 20 miles out in the woods, those were the days.
big vat of soup or stew on it burbling away,you clean nup,have 2 bowls of soup with fresh crusty bread,sit down in from of wood stove and it is nap time
sledded a lot that year, too. had a great sled run down the hill and on down the frozen creek.
lol rbud,remember them well
have to do something for entertainment, lol! antenna TV only, and lots of books.
that was in the early '80's, not so long in the past.
our first place when da brought us to canada did not even have a phone line to it.we had a sideband cb radio and after we did get a party line,it took me a year to learn not to say"over" anfter each bit of talking
lots of books,3 channels on the tv
more woth watching then than now
isn't that the truth!
candid camera with alan funt,twilight zone,columbo,barreta,perry mason
emergency,the fugative
gunsmoke, bonanza, ed sullivan, the Midnight Special, (yay, music!)
ed was too early for me
oh, I saw the Beatles do "hey jude" on there, was entranced.
but i remember bonanza when the new console colour tvs came out.,took me ten years to learn that lorne green did not have a skin condition that made him green lol
lol!!
and you still had to "warm up" the tv,cause many of them still had tubes
Mom always made us watch Lawrence Welk, ewww
ugh
remember that god awful polka show?
I took electronics in college, worked on tube tv's because they were still around then.
but also circuit boards, the new stuff, lol
polka, hmmm, nooo.... but I remember mitch miller with the bouncing ball on the lyrics across the bottom
i took electronics also,but discoverd a colour blindness i did not know i had,you know the colour id bands on the resistors?
i have blindness in the purple ranges
oh, yes
purples and blues
that would make it difficult!
very,so had to drop out
if you worked on the old tv,s you know those scarey final tubes? used to make me nervous cause if you did not drain them proper you could get a whallop that would knock you across the room
and and rubbing the id numbers off with sweaty fingers;(
oh, yes! I'd forgotten those
crossy spent a while collecting and restoring tube radios
I changed majors and didn't finish electronics, got in touch with my Mother Earth hippy self, got into environmental science. got a BS in that.
back when radio shack still sold tubes and had a handy tube tester in store
we have a local shop that still sells tubes, have thought of taking it up as a hobby.
i LOVE the old radios
it gets addictive though
it's a tv repair/army surplus store, interesting place
something for everyone, lol
the nice bakelite table top ones from the 30,s the big parlour floor models,the ww2 units with am/fm/sw1/sw2/sw3..
when you get over he** Crossy you can take my MILs old one that my husband won't part with. Wooden deco monster. Looks lovely in our bedroom (not!)
hello to you both
lol lynxx
hello! sounds like a jewel, lol
ok,off for a hour or 2 of sleep tc rbud,was nice chatting and gn lynxx
bye Cross
sleep well, crossy, see you later.
hmmm, doesn't se** like too many actual re words in this one, or I'm just not seeing them, maybe
only see a few so far
okay, maybe 5 so far
6 if I count re4 and 5, what happens when you don't make your payments, they send out the re4 men
mmm 22 re words
TY didn't have them
yes, but I mean re words using the re as a prefix
7 now, and a pl
Anyone else having problems getting it to accept the AR 8 and 9? Accepts in Lickety's list but not here...
oh, someone mentioned it earlier, those are extras, no good in the grid.
oh ok
morning, need help with the first ar 8 found one but wont take it and cant find another
sometimes Lickety gets more words than babble - he uses a later version of Enable
so Lickety says 327 words, then?
Yes - should have spotted that!
hi Mills
they don't work, mills, we are just talking about that problem
I don't see ar8, though, now curious, lol
sorry just noticed that, i1ll carry on then lol
wont me to spell out ?
Its AR 4 6 AEAN
maybe just a hint, though I suppose it doesn't matter
want*
it wont take it, archaean
Sorry that was more than a hint - crossed post.
that's okay, I found it in morewords with your hint, while mills was putting it in, lol, odd one!
you'd think it should work, being an "ancient" word according to the definition, but noooo
just how old IS Enable, hahaha!!!
I'd tried mills' word, too, and it wouldn't go in. I'm stuck now. What else can it be?
it's an extra, hydra, Lickety has two extra this time. no good in the grid.
I can stop racking my brains then! What is the other extra word, please?
the plural, ar9
Thanks, rbud.
hi all, help with lone a pls
sure! someone mentioned it earlier or I'd likely been lost, too
I think that was at4, not positive
ty thought I had entered that one
and left corner e pls for nbt
meant right corner e pls
em5 and pl, Arab ruler titles, the longer spelling
ty rbud
yw :)
well, 100 left, time to call it a day/night. good luck all!
archaean and pl are the extras
They are not recognised. Is this correct?
correct
Thanx
Hi all!! back for my last 49 words (hopefully)
op 8/45 - clue please
a small op 5
continue on from the op 5
... usually by lehar or Strauss ... even Gilbert and Sullivan
Got the op5 and op6 but still not seeing the 8/45
... it's like an op5 but it involves the spoken word and is usually comic ... ... has what sounds like a feminine ending to the word
... ending was like a "girl's" name ... comic strip character ... xxxx Quet ..
Thanks - I take it the total for today 325
... that's what it says here
hello, just back from lunch and a little bit tipsy
Hi ((ruby)) so you have a mellow glow
... I'd join you ... but beer for breakfast isn't good for me
glowing like crazy
very tough couple of days with 100+ temps. But today it's better
And after cleaning out the garage this AM with the handyman, I am looking forward to a little babble and (hopefully) a nap
going to be a nice day today...middle 80's and my friend Barbara is up from Florida for a week so it should be fun
In Binghamton NY, a typical breakfast included beer + tomato juice
My daughter graduated from SUNY Binghamton
in what year?
... but that was because they were hung over from the previoius evening
my ex taught history
I was once there in December and I had never experienced cold weather like that. I will think of the year soon. Have to figure this one out
I think it was 1989
I think that Bing. had the worst weather in the US
less sun than Seattle
I agree with you..the weather was really not pleasant everytime I went up th5.
Hi all! I just noticed an anomoly, maybe others have seen it too. I entered two words, an ar8/50 and an ar 9/66. Babble tells me they are not in the dictionary (eye roll here) and they are not on the Babble list, but they were accpeted by Babble Expert. Maybe Mr P uses a different dictionary? Inquiring minds want to know...
There was some chat earlier about 2 extra words
hello swmbo, you've left me in the dark! lol
gm, everyone. clue for the lower E bottom 5th column?
Yes, I thought others would have noticed. Woner how it happened?
i got that ar8/9 too
cant find the real 9 tho???
hello ishult and ibd
hi ruby
ELBEE (HI) think of an arabic personage and plural
hello to all
... em ... arab ruler
... and plural
I typed the ar9, I got the green box that is was accepted but it was not added to the list, hmmmm?
hi swmbo!!
and ty for the em's
ty, dose
and hello to dawg and swmbo, ishult
morning, annie!
Just something to keep us all on our toes!
Hi Elbee!
ifI was on my toes, I'd fall over....
sores
We'll catch you, ruby
i miss babble expert. :-(
dawg, I'm on Babble Expert...can't you get on?
I haven't had access to babble expert for a long time.
{{annie}}

I wonder why, dawg
Hello everyone
whhoops; I'll disappear now
hello lynxxxie
You know Babble Expert had a new address dawg - look at MRPs profile
hi lynxxx
{{lynxx}}
ahh looks like the 9 that Babble wants is a ca 9.
hi red :)
hi only here for a minute.
hi Ruby...Stew came back exhausted from his bathing the othere day - had to put up with a lively red chow for a few hours - what a handful
looking at the weather and feeling oddly ch***ed that the storm is moving away from us...
hi Red
hi..
a lively red chow --sounds like an oxymoron
did the red choiw swim?
is Rufie black or red?
okay, hope mrp gets my request for a the newest BE.
not that sort of bathing - this was at a groomers
hi red.
Rufie and Ruby are both shaded blonde -- many colors but not much red
phantom...orchestra
let me find it somewhere else dawg
there are no groomers in Annecy whoo are willing to do chows
dawg, crossy might have the BE address
impressive phantom, annie
*blush*
New link to mended Babble Expert: http://r46.me/BabbleExpert2011 0410.zip
annie is aces!
hmm, my computer says i already have a copy, and do i want to replace it. i will, cuz i really miss BE.
thanks lynxxx, I copied the new link in case I ever need it
windows cannot complete the extraction. destination file could not be created.
What is Babble Expert? Is it free? Is there a Mac version?
that sounds awful - sorry
no Mac version godthaab
when sprite visited, she installed babble expert, but I can't use it
OK.....
But what does it do?
Maybe email Lickety himself dawg - MRP is a bit spasmodic lately
fiddle, i bet it's not set up for Windows 7. booo hooo
Godthaab - puts licketys list and Babble on same screen...entered words updates both lists similtaneosly
sorry - awful spelling. Its late
why can't you use it Ruby?
Wow! I could use that.... Is there a Mac version imminent?
I don't think so...Lickety doesn't do Mac/Apple...and he does it for love so....
OK. Thanks.
don't know, lynxx
but but - do you use the ZBulk Add feature on Licketys list - it is brilliant
Dh's daughter is coming in Sept, perhaps she can figure it out. Im a computer cluk!
Bulk Add feature was meant for Godthaab
bulk add has saved my bacon.
Yes. I know that one.
Bulk Add is great - the hours and hours I used to spend printing out lists and writing the words into them!
not that I am addicted or anything
I know.....
I still print out the list and add the words by hand when Lickety's list is not available and I am NOT addicted either.
ha!
When Lickety is down, I put the list on an Exel spreadsheet and add the words. That is quicker for me than doing it by hand.
Excel
Molly, I am so computer illiterate it is laughable
If some-one lovely has put a list on their profile, I will line up the profile against My Word List. Hopefully not looking for too many so quite OK to use that way
hello Moly, Ruby is fading out with only 126 words..l
I am able to do that, lynxxx, but as soon as I add a word the list disappears
Good morning everyone
Good morning, ((Mom))
Ruby, you must be tired. You are speaking in the third person. : D
hello and bye mom; ruiby is crashing
computer illiterate - 3 hours yesterday I spent with experts from India - ended up in tears - 1 hour today. Progress in solving problem: Zilch!

Rufie wasn't eating the spiders for you?
need to find the 9 now
Now wondering about the ca9
Mom, I can't believe how much your little girl picture and Jee's little girl pictures look alike. It must have been the "pose" of the time. : D
not lovely really - think about being in hospital
I don't have a parituclar problem with spiders, but when you open a carton and they jump out -- aaarghh
Annie...hint: they really are not lovely
isn't that something, Molly. She asked that I post mine. Both of ours were taking in 1961
Name that Proper Noun: Leader of the Liberal Party

Charest

I wanted the goat
ta4.5/5.12

I have several of those. Like...Where there is saliva, there are gratuities. It helps me remember the forward/backward thing.
imeant = gpats
Didn't know that meant wild goats.
oh dear, = goats, I'll keep doing it till I get it right
too sleepy to find the goats but will tru to remember saliva ....
i still don't see how you can have a miscreant if you can't have a creant
byer

phew, got the goat
and now for the Buddhist who has attains Nirvana ar5.12

its lying aeb
hi Carlee
well i have all the top A's and there ain't no ar8 or 9
are they included in the count tho?
not in the count on THIS site, no
never heard of Hester Prynne...must be one American novel that n ever made it over here
ty all
it's the scarlet letter, lynxxx
... The Scarlet Letter
I know - googled it - haven't heard of it
wow
not that I have read that much I suppose
well, not to have read it is one thing, not to have heard of it is another
you may want to complain to your childhood school board :) lol
Nathaniel Hawthorne was the author
I think they might all have passed somehow
i lynxxx
morewords offers archaean
Nope - no help Annie
well, you know, whoever took their places
There are often words in Morewords that this version of Enable doesn't recognise grant
In the US we had to read The Scarlet Letter..
but i've never found a word here that was not in morewords, so i guess morewords is the most comprehensive
the scarlet letter is one of the few american novels i didn't hate.
I have to leave for a while, bye
my experience too, hurshy
i'm ok with f. scott fitzgerald too
I don't remember if I had to read The Scarlet Letter or not. I'm thinking not, but I can't remember any of the books we had to read.
Good morning, global inhabitants.
how can you be proactive if you can't proact?
I can't remember any of the books we had to read
r
hi Judi
when the plastic surgery caves in you would reage
name that proper noun! english romantic poet, OR, children's author ezra jack
The Grapes of Wrath, Of Mice and Men, Call of the Wild, Scarlett Letter, To Kill a Mockingbird are a few I had to read in high school. Hated them all at the time but have reread some since and actually liked them - and Hello everyone
... keats
ding ding ding!
hi River
I had to read those too. Also a book by Sinclair Lewis but I forgot the title
Read all of those - except Scarlet Letter
... Why not Mark Twain?
The Crucible I think
hi all
Okay, I do rem. Of Mice & Men and Mockingbird.
crucible is by arthur miller
Ahgh! The Crucible. Horrible book.
dont remember having to read that one
I remember having to read the Iliad. I liked that.
it wasn't the crucible then
I think maybe we read The Crucible, too.
My had to read of Mice and Men last year as a freshman - funny how the same books are still required over 30 years later
Lots of Shakespeare. ZZZZZZZZZZ
my son
hated shakespeare
yes, I rem. lots of Shakespeare.
still dont like Shakespeare
... You have to read Shakespeare aloud ... can't do it silently
I didn't hate it, but it's not something I'd read for fun.
What high school student likes Shakespeare? It's a total slog. Personally, I think Shkespeare is totally overrated. When you think about it... what competition did he have?
and I think we did read it aloud and listened to one of them on a record player.
hated Shakespeare too - only thing I remeber is going to see Brando in Julius Caesar
... Johnson ... Kidd .. Marlowe ...
... and arguably ... he invented the language that we speak today
I think that's a bit of a stretch, dose.
FeAr no more the heat of the sun, nor the furious winter rages. Thou thy worldly task hast done, home art gone and ta'n thy wages. Golden lads and girls all must as chimne sweepers go to dust.
he did make a lot of words though
... the number I heard is there are 1200 words in the language today that first appear in Shakespeare
i think he is legitimately great. i don't read him for fun either, but he wrote beautifully.
hello friends, back from vacation! And I see a word from one of my favorite quotes: "Don't panic, it is only ch***."
hello Sprite - nice to have you back looking so refreshed
thanks :) It was a very good vacation.
Pfffth. He was a hack. Everyone was just so starved for entertainment and he was the only playwriter in town. He wrote soap op5's for cripe sake.
you don't have to like him, but a lot of people do regard him as great. i think your judgment is too sweeping for a mere matter of your taste.
Only playwright in town? What about Marlowe then?
ooh, thx for the words
hi MM
hiya all
hi movie my man :)
Probably. I also don't like Elvis.
wh-wh-what?
Judy Judy Judy
... or Bruce Sprinstein.
I do actually like to listen to Shakespeare. I like to try to figure out wth he's saying.
stop now before you offend the whole room :)
I don't like Bruce, Bob Dylan, or U2. :-)
I know, hurshy. My virtual stoning is in the offing.
Ks killed
Personally I love Dylan, the Boss, U2, The Who, Led Zeppelin etc
I think it is only politics, race and religion that will offend anyone here - oh and trolls w. bad language
and the weather. Don't forget the weather.
yes we must NEVER talk about the weather
I love The Who. Led Zep I like.
Yeah. Potty mouth trolls are soooo annoying.
hi River :)
or dogs apparently (where is jmc?)
hiya sprite - welcome back
i dunno, i think very sweeping statements about matters of opinion can be kind of offensive on any topic. because it implies that your taste is the gold standard and everyone else's doesn't count
<--- loves dogs. Loves jmc too.
thanks River :)
the only thing that offends me here is when someone puts me down for spelling a word wrong....
lol - I do too
In fact, I'm listening to the Zepps right now
You are right Hursh
*giggles* Isn't 'wrong' spelled 'rwong' this way?
I'm working my way up to gold standard. Currently my taste status is peanut butter.
gold peanut butter of course
lol sprite
hmmm, peanut butter
i meant mmmmm not hmmmmm
I need tea - brb
hmmmmm mmmmm as in yummmmm
good morning everyone
yes, me loves peanut butter!
hi flosey!
aha, another peanut butter fan - with chocolate
hi Flosey
Grey Poupon Peanut Butter.
so, I frequent this msg board with a lot of inside joke misspellings, i.e. grate for great. I can't tell you how many times I almost spelled it wrong in other settings and felt like a fool.
rong is another one, and I almost did it just then. ;-)
I will eat and enjoy peanut butter with sesame, with sambal, even with ch6 if I have to. But NOT with anything sweet.
peanut butter and banana is the best
*lol*
i have it every day for breakfast
*shudders*
I love me a PB & B sandwich.
I love Nutella chocolate and hazelnut spead
hokie - it's good on a hot dog roll cause then it's less work. i like martin's potato rolls.
me too, movie
Ever notice how most conversations in Babble wind their way to food?
Peanut butter on toast with chunks of dark chocolate - not chocolate chips
yep. Food rules babble chog.
well it's always mealtime somewhere i guess :)
Mmmmm. Nutella.
not a nutella fan - I don't like the hazelnut flavor. I have this Dark Chocolate Dreams PB that is goooood.
wow Flosey - that sounds totally decadent
I'd love it if they did a mint chocolate variety
Or even coconut
Okay. We have to stop talking about food. I think I just gained 5 lbs.
mint chocolate is nice, or orange with dark chocolate. But without the PB please.
mm those could be good - i'm not a hazelnut fan either
wouldn't care for the mint, but coconut could be good
mm yes coconut
am i being thick or are the G's kind of hard?
lol Judi
That's why I ADORE mojitos and pina coladas
True confessions: I love grilled ch5 and apple or pear sandwiches.
love the dark chocolate with hot pepper - Lindt makes them here
that would be good, Judi
ooh found 2 more g's
fruit and ch6... no thanks. I don't do well in the hearty + sweet department.
i think tea is in order.
cheese is lovely with fruit, pears apple figs
I make ice cream (the easy way) 1 can of pina colada frozen mix with 1 can coconut milk, sweet and smooth
oops -
Yeah! Found the 9!
hey, did you all see Cadbury has a Screme Egg for Halloween?
oooo sounds good, flosey
good job, Judi
try it sprite, a fav. here
Flosey, stop it, you're making me drool
*sniffles* I still dont have the 9
lol
me neither, River, don't worry. Our time will come :D
will do, flosey!
*whispers* Ca9 (it's a plural).
sad news Sprite - Hursh just told us about Hobbit
what's with Hobbit? *panicky look*
she had to be put to sleep.
Awwww. Poor Hobbit. What happened?
oh no! Poor Ata!
And poor Ata!
she didn't post the reason on FB
Always a sad affair. We've all been there.

good morning Haz
hi Haz :) Good to see you again.
hi Haz...yes they were my last words - very sad
Hello!
I started this grid earlier, now back to finish it off. It's a fun one.
Why in the clues there is an ar9?
yes, so far so fun
it is an error.
hi Kenny
Expert/Lickety uses a slightly different version of Enable
Hi sprite
Lickety/mrP use a slightly different version of Enable for the clues, so sometimes the clues have a valid word that is not valid in the Babble version.
.... what Lyn says. Lag makes me slowwww.
th6.24 always reminds me of a Dr Seuss creature. Goodnight everyone
Good night, lynxxx, sleep well.
night lyn, sleep well and dream of fun stuff *hug* xxx

please can anyone clue the 2 Es in the rh column, i just need them for nbs and nbt
ar 8/9 please
em4/5 is the upper one
em5 and em6 for the bottom one
hi geek, I heard the ar9 is not a valid word in Babble, it is an extra in the clues.
ar8 and ar9 are extra words in Lickety's list, not needed to finish the grid.
how about the 8? I am missing one ar for no more A's
thanks Haz
don't know about the 8
ok done with the A's thanks
wtg geek
You're welcome.
thanks so muchsprite
em 5/6 on bottom corner are variant spellings of an Eastern ruler
hi Jjenny, my pleasure
I wonder why orang is valid and utan not.
I have a problem, I've found an ar8 + 9 that I *know* is a real word, but its not allowing it... what the heck?!
it is not valid in the pretty old version of Enable that is used for Babble, Punster.
ah
The only 9 is a ca9
lol that was the answer to the question I was about to ask :P gracias
ca 9 = medical tube-like tool
:D Kenny knew!
lol got it
good clue :D
atcha should be a word. ~:o( I use it all the time!
lol amelu... I agree
good morning everyone:))

hello pun lovers! a friend of mine is looking for clever names for a "behavioral management of headaches" group. anybody want to contribute an idea?
Harp - a foley is one type, as is a central or peripheral IV
Harp - a foley is one type, as is a central or peripheral IV
Hursh, I'm assuming BM of Headaches is out? : P
migrainites incorporated...never take your migs for granite
'People putting paid to pain'
lol molly
i'm not sure they deal only with migraines
head(acres)
do you like any of these: Heading Off Headaches Stay Ahead of your Headaches Stop Aheadache Head Cases We Brake for Headaches
my achin' head sung to acky-breaky heart
lol, it needs to be a name, not a jingle
i just meant it could be their theme song
not sure they are going to have a theme song, but thanks :)
Gone with the ache for movie lovers
lol
so it's not just me, then, this is actually hard.
me thinks the pb should be getting crowded right about now... did someone set out tea and cookies?
use an acronym..ACHES ..a center for headaches
apologies, amelu
Migraines, Ltd.
LOL! none necessary! just bring on the snackies!
a center for headach erasers(ACHE)
hmm i wonder if using the word limited not meaning it's an LLC would be confusing/legal
Then make it Migraines, Limited
Acher >>>a center for headache eraser research
I just keep coming up with lame stuff like,...Retrain Your Head Pain.
hero
what about Ache Breakers
crud, I really hope we have cookies!
i like the limited idea, just going to make it headaches instead of migraines
i have a choclit bundt cake in the oven
It's hard to get clever with "behavioral management".
i am hungry, i wish my friend would reply about whether she can meet for lunch
that is what i am finding molly
too bad its not for plumbers...flush your head pain away
*Will provide cold milk and coffee for the chocolate bundt cake*
that would be some trick
My mother's version of behavioural management was either a cold stare or a quick smack on the back of the legs. I don't think either will work here.
bless you, molly!
yummmmmmmmmmm
act like the ac4 ain't there
basically they give people biofeedback and then people figure out how to use that information to do things that stop their headaches
My only experience with behavioral management was M&M's for going potty when my kids were little. : D
Bribery started at a young age in your house, Molly.
there is a lot of trial and error involved in behavioral management
Yes Haz, fortunately they were still too young to know the value of money. : )
if they're all irish it could be called Green Achers!
I'd probably have eaten them myself and told the children it was for the good of their teeth.
sadly, they are not all irish.
There's a bit of Irish in most people if they look hard enough.
they could serve green beer to get rid of their headaches
lol, but then you might end up with a worse headache afterward
achers Square.......where you get relief instead of pie
oh sorry its an american chain...Bakers Square
Oh, my Achy Breaky Headache
i'm in america but i don't know that chain

Hint for the ca8/9 please. Driving me nuts!
Inserted in the hospital to help you pee
what do you mean "extra" words - not in 325 count?
they are difficult words nan, congrats
ca 8/9: the tube(s) stuck into your urinary tract after surgery
apparently lickety has 327, I am not using lickety as yet. but that is what I read earlier
thanks for ca8/9
on a grid this size I'm happy to list at around 100 (115 to go today)
only one 9 in stats and an AR 9 would make 2
ca9 start with the feline pet+not she

I've been getting a zillion.. your email account is too full we need to close your account and need your password and etc
do some people fall for those emails?
we have a friend who did
Oh yeah they do.
I asked her how could you be soooo dumb
really, that is too bad and sad
if any e-mail looks questionable, I just delete it
a friends father just emptied his bank account to ""help" his grandson
I have a friend who does forensic computer work for the police department. He can tell you stories that will curl your hair about what people fall for.
oh.. that'd be a book
some people are just too gullible (sp?)

I would never give that as a clue, Ruby. And I would laugh at anyone who did.
hello wv teach

: D Did you get any rest Ruby?
yes, had a 2-hr nap -- yay
one of the worst things I ever did was kill 2 legless lizards which I mistook for vipers
didn't take the time to look them up
they were beautiful, but I was afraid for the dogs
anguillis fragillis (or something)
Cool. Latin lizards.
<---not into reptiles

it doesn't matter nan, whatever works best for you
I have a few tough squares though
I hate it when I got to the list and see obvious word that I should have found

I told you Peri was naughty.
LOL
*Innocent look* I had no idea it was a real word
*wonders if it is on any orals for literary students?*
Only the ones given privately, teacher on student.

<---Is ever grateful to SMom
I can't eat salmos
salmon
sorry ru.... it is one of life's little pleasures
glad you have a lox on it
heh heh
Salmon is in my top five favorite fish. The cooked version anyway.
love salmon - DH has an excellent herb butter sauce to put on it while cooking
mine too............. grew up un the coast of maine and hated fish as a kid.........prpbabl;y because we were mIne poor and had so damned much of it. now that fish is 8 to 15 bucks a pound, i have developed a taste for it
I broil it with dill, butter and lemon juice.
mainepoor
Poor Maine kids. Nothing but lobster to eat. : D
still hate lobser and still will not eat it.. have a great lobster story
I love lobster
I'd eat lobster twice a week
i'm missing 10 h's
jeezus
will eat lobster but don't enjoy it like i do others - salmon, flounder, crab, shrimp
you have no sole wv?
several years ago hubby and i went back to maine ( he is from cleveland) for a vacation.... sister, one of the worklds greatest hostesses, made lobster linguini for supper thinking it would be a treat for us. next morning walter and met on the dock of her summe house to do a little fishing .. and pulled out the lobster meat we had palmed from supper to use as bait
Lobster as bait? *Faints*
What do you two chum with? Prime rib?
just sole - less - will eat it - almost any fish but not my favorite
sammy flushes her toilet with perrier
39 and struggling
howeveer i will eat fried clams till i bust........ no 1 sister took us out to dinner and asked what would i like ( in maine the menu does not have the price of ther lobster on the menue.. it is market price and subject to change every day) i said suppah and she told the waiter, " give her the godddam clams".
lol
Now I want a fried clam roll.
i wish someone would just serve me breakfast
I can ta4 it from there
oh crap.. off to the PB
I am a sucker for any good meal cooked for me, since I do all the cooking.
my favorite breakfast is clam cakes frenchfries , cole slaw and a beer....... dig in ru
I had crusty fruit and nut bread with a honey chevre for breakfast, but that was hours ago, almoat time for lunch
Any woman who will have a beer for breakfast is A-OKAY with me : D
heh heh
Never had a clam cake, though I love fried clams
clam cakes is gooooooooooooood
is it like a crab cake - love crab cakes
Live crab cakes! Def not as good here as the chesapeake
same principal, but clam cakes are thinner .. i like them a little crispy, but you have to ask for them that way
Love. Not live... Do not want a live crab cake
restaurant just east, brings in seafood from Baltime/ Chesepeake and then makes their own - all their food is good
glad you cleared that up kje
we're about 4 - 5 hours from Chesepeake
I've been to a clambake it's fun
*Stops preparing live crab cakes*
they keep moving off the plate molly?
went to one on Cape Cod long time ago and got very sick afterwards - have never eaten clams since then
Not when I give them a good smack.
Fresh clams fried on a summer day - delish!
<Loves clam bakes, skips the steamer part though.
Will you eat raw oysters, Ru?
how is the weather for you kje.. better than texas?
no.. i don't eat oysters can't stand them
it's a long story
Lovin it. Was so tired of the hot
great
Today is very sunny where I am
nice.. enjoy it .. sept/oct are the best
So i
So I keep hearing
glorious
i am fortunate teach... it is easy to bad seafood but i never have.................. when the kids were little, walter and i made the trip from cleveland to portland on a small budget ( packed a picnic lunch for most of the trip ( traveling with 2 to 4 kids makes one do that) however once we hit haveril, mass, we stopped at the first clamshack we saw and at our way upo the coast
i'm taking today off
Now I want clams for lunch
34 sans list
I wish there were clam shacks around here.
mmmm oysters
55 left sans lust here
List
fried raw in stew . . . i love them all
i am not sans lust myself
hi all
I know jmc! I want those for lunch too!
Raw for me. I like fried, but they are so easy to ruin
<---Also not sans lust
my mil was a sight to behold when she ate lobster. . . she would suck every little bit out and then take the lobsters from the other plates and do it again since none of us were as good at it as she was
haha i went to an ABA meeting in Houston and they had an oyster bar and i stood th*** and let the guy just open them for me one after another. . . he laughed!
Mmmmmmm. I would have done tje same jmc
the oysters and shrimp at his swearing in party was the best thing about having to hang out with Ron Paul
she didn't scrathe the lobster did she?
Although, maybe not in Houston. Gulf oysters are not my faves
yeah all the suits would come up an ta** one on their plates but it was a free oyster bar and i stood there for about 20 minutes
gulf oysters are my favs. . . grew up with them you know. . .
Scrathe the lobster...is that like spank the monkey?
i hope you meant something else ru. . . i didn't know that word and it appears to be mighty rude even for jokes between us. . .
Hey blame Peri, she is the one who introduced us to it.
very close moll. . . but a bit more oral
Ru's in trouble..... Rue's in trouble....
i won't take offense because we are friends but i think that is beyond the pale. . .
scathe
Ru, please take note. Leather boots and whips comments: acceptable. Other sexual innuendo, not so much.
scathe is a fine word. . .
am i being overly sensitive?
But not the one we were referring to. No JMC, we won't send you to The Sensitive Room. : )
I was playing off a running joke that peri started jm..
oh i c . . . sorry then
*I'm innocent for once*
albeit .. the word is nasty
not that I wouldn't go beyond the pale anyway
you usually go right up to the pale. . .
Time for pet and weather chat : D
I wouldn't have known anything until molly told me to look it up on urban dictionary
:D
I was waiting for that buck to get thrown my way.
no no not the pet and weather chat!
pet what?
<---Never heard of the word before Peri used it. IT'S ALL PERI'S FAULT.
are you kidding molls it sounds like peri is the culprit he**
you playing off that word again?
oh.. yeah.. let's blame peri.. she's not here
typical
*waves from PB*
haha well now that fmitch is gone we need a new scapegoat
BR do you know who that is in your icon? is he someone i should know?

No, no, no. Contact Amazon about your problem. Their customer service is top notch.

*kenya
wow.. envious.. they are so beautiful
she was a pale imitation of carmen miranda
it was a great trip
And we are back to hats with fruit on them. : D
was that an earlier topic molls?
I believe you were dancing around in one a few days ago. *Has a wicked memory for what is said in chat*
haha probably added fruit to my foil cap
Something about the music your construction guys were playing.
oh the latino jazz . . . that was nice
you know molls you are still invited to bbq tomorrow. . .i would love to feed you ribs and beer
aloy, th5's one close to cheetah, but it means worm hair or bristle...
Worm hair??
I just love being chastised by lunatics
*shivers*
ty amelu.. I have that one, I just want CHEETAH !!! (-: (am in an obstinate mood, ticked off by a hot router).. lool

people with problems still can have opinions. . . thank god or no one would listen to me
We really need an IGNORE button here.
no kidding
some people just don't know how to have fun.. I mean this is a GAME isn't it
it's not like I'm running for the presidency
Let me know when you do, I'll vote for you.

i will only chat about bacon then:)
bacon is safe
hi all
bacon is wonerous:)
hi nrkii
howdy nrkii
ruru, I love the icon!
but I think I'm already on the dark side :)
thanks
bacon cookies that is
Bacon makes EVERYTHING taste better
it is the fairy dust of the food world;)
Agree cross
it it prolongs life.did you know that?
my doctor said that each slice of bacon takes 6 minutes off my life,so according to my math i should of died in 1743:)
however, if you COULD have eaten a slice of bacon and didn"t, does it ADD six minutes........... three???????????? something?
is there no reward for self denial?
mm,i must have a blt and think on this..where is my baconayse?....
and what about chocolates and newports... huh huh??
newports?
ciggs
oh! lung darts..you must give those up
crossy is ten years clean on those
got my first cancer one year after i quit:)
i did and thought i had turned into a raving bitch, but my kids say no.. i am just the same as i have always been
just as sweet as ever
well my wife quit with me ten years ago and i see no peronality difference.....
here is something to think on sammysmom,when the mrs and i quit in 2002 ciggs were $7/50 a pack for the big name brands.wife and i smoked a pack a day each,so when we quit , every day for 2 years,we each pu the price of a pack of smokes into a jar we keep in the livingroo.every day.for 2 years.....
in may of 2004,i added it all up..was $12,160.00. we went to the toyota dealership and bought a brand new car..in cash.was 100 dollars difference.i still drive that car today
and what are you going to do with the 7 g's cross
read below
ah.. i was figuring for 2 years only
thats great cross
now big mane smokes here are 11 dollars a pack!
name
was 15 dollars a dayx 365 daysx 2 years
wish i had done that
you have to set up a reward for yourself when you quit
Good day Babblers!
my reward was breathing and ya can;t take that to the bank
smokes are a lot cheaper in the states i know,though you get a free hand gun with them in some sates i think
lol
howdy scrabby
hello scrabs
*waves from gutter * Hi scrabs

My mother was talking about when she and my father first met--1957 Oakland-SF, when she was a Captain in the USMC and he in the USN, after they had finished college.
Wow, scrab

yeah..i'll look welki
d
he
hi, good - looked at your profile, henrietta lacks was an amazing book
sorry welki, i was in a zone. use expert all the time but never the auto add. it's so cool!
morning everyone
yep, it's a handy tool
hi lynxx - ltns
fireworks
Yay Cos!
ltns Welki?
hi again Lynxx, good morning!
hi Red
Hi Welki, Cosd, and Good en.
welki,i fired up the lcbo search engine and could not find your tequila in this area
can't find it anywhere in canada, crossy - have my daughter looking for it in nj, but i've been told it's only available in california (and while searching online, i found a tequila that costs $2000 a bottle!!! holy moly! jose cuervo, you are a friend of mine - but not for 2 grand!)
ouch! you have expensive tastes!
*singing* tequila makes her clothes fall off
no no no - i have gutter taste, will drink rot gut :)
I'm new...what does CA8 mean?
means - the word starts with the letters CA and has 8 letters
TX this is harder than I thought
Have you looked on Amazon Welki - I can see it for sale on there
OK...it looks as if I should purchase some storm supplies... I can not take it seriously, but...
you still have not stocked up?
Marais, it gets easier with practice...and we don't bite or anything, we are nice, right??
well,i have been known to nibble
hi Marais - if you need help just ask. Most of us use Lickets Clues at some point
No Cross, see the track started to move west...
and I live in the center of the state...
ahh..so far from the coast
my friend lives in tampa hes leaving for atl tonight
Welki, your best bet for La Pinta is to have a US friend buy some for you and ship it. And yes, I know it's not kosher to do that, but people do it all the time.
We were predicted to get 40 MPH winds. and 4 in of rain...
tx -- nice to find friendly chat
Cos, your friend is smart, not only that but the convention is going to be a mad house.
Ohhh! lynxxxxxxxxxx - thanks for the amazon tip!! my kid can order it and bring it with her when she visits! (my friend will be ECSTATIC!!!)
where exactly is expected landfall?
thanks, molly - convenient to have kids on the other side of the border, they can bring it over legally
order a case then welki:))
well it was Pennsacola area, but they are moving it back towards tampa...
which means, back to me...
you be careful, red - and how is it that you don't have emerg supplies?? if you were a drinker, i'd have a bottle of la pinta sent to your house :)
i gave red addy to order nice 3 day hrricane kits...
I have some water stored, I was going to go tonight, but...oddly we were in the middle of a fairy bad storm....
keep safe Red, we need you
Cross, all i need is some water, a flashlight, dog food, and some non perishable stuff...
fill the bathtub, red - that's what my grandmother taught us. always have enough water to flush *lol*
You have to fill the tub! its a total must.
i imagine these kits are for those whose homes have been flattened or are staind at aid stations for a week
<-- grew up on the east coast
I think so. I also work for a hospital, so I am always welcome there.
crossy, it's a hoarding phenomenon. when a hurricane is imminent, folks pour into stores like roaches in the dark and clean out the necessities
<---grew up in far north where power company often says bye-bye for week at a time
i can imagine welki
same thing, then - except that i suspect you were a little more self-sufficient than the average bear
thats why i have one of these kits.has shelf life of 5 years
I am hoping that we have very few interruptions in power...
i have 42 left and could care less if i finish - having a good time chatting tonight :)
Smart people in Florida have a rubbermaid tub full of stuff. I am not a smart person!
where is jmc?
I have 170 left, and I Care!
Where is JMC! Calls out...
maybe she has a hot date
red - i live in the prairies, albeit in a city of over a million people. we have a generator and at least a week's supply of water and food (including dog food) - anal maybe, but we're prepared
we also have the kit and non perishables handy
we get stupid cold weather in the winter, tornado warnings in the summer - in a nutshell, $hit happens when you least expect it
Cross. Can you advise me. I have had for years Norton 360 as protection. It seems to have a bug which stops me running Chrome or Firefox - and I can't run Norton either. Norton people are unable to get remote access and can't get me thru to repair and replace. Internet Explorer (yuk) working OK. I do have a free copy of MacAfee Security. Should I trash Norton and just use the McAfee???
whoa. i killed the chat
whew - i did not. i only put it in suspended animation :)
no sorry I was scanning stuff...
I think because I happen to live within walking distance of a very large chain store, I am a bit more casual...
ahh that obscure NZ bird - the ta6.33 - is back
lynxx,i now use avg anti virus exclusivly
i can run ie,crome,opera whatever
avg - is that buy or free?
not that it matters as I was bout to pay another $100 for the next years sub for Norton
I'll make a note Cross - avg - thankyou. I'll get my son to put on today
i use the free version on my windows desktop
and Cross needs to go to the PB.
ok down to 160, soorry to kill chat again..
there is a avg free version
get it from www.oldversion.com
TY Cross - much appreciated
go back about 3 builds then after ity is installed,update it
oldversion.com is a wealth of freeware
I finally found the new ealand bird! thanks.
it is my go to when setting up one of my new computer builds
brb..my beloved is hollering at me from down the hall in her dulcet tones....
BBL Stew is getting anxious and I need a walk too

Torgone!
Heya red!
its just us and the lurker types, Hello Lurkers..
Hello, redturtlehead, torgone and all others
Hi Christine, how are you?
doing nothing, as usual -- retirement is just fine, for a lazybones like me
I dream of retirement.
Two things at which I excell - lying on the couch and reading all day - in retirement I do just that. I live alone, so I eat/sleep when I want, volunteer a few days a month at the library -- life is very good.
oh to have the time to do what I want. Ah well,,
this grid is wearing on me...
I expected, in retirement, I'd do all those things for which we don't have time while employed - some great museums near me - but my knees and hips went belly-up, and I could barely walk for many years - now I'm gearing up for a second knee replacement, then a hip replacement, then I'll get moving,
Well, if you're not at retirment age, it's a blessing to have a job.
I suppose...yes I would think I would be unhappy without regular income..
good luck with the hip.and knee!!!!
my daughter and her husband sell online - no guaranteed income, and I cringe, each month, worrying that they'll make it through their bills.
I am a nurse, so employement is a bit more stable...
I remember, we were always hearing "well, banking doesn't pay much, but you'll always find a job" until the big flop, when banks started to merge and there were no jobs. I'm so thankful I no longer have to worry about that -- gives me plenty of time to worry about my kid(s).
My career has been blessed, I graduated in the huge Shortage, got experience, and now even though there is no real shortage, with the experience, I am still in demand...
Thank God. My ypoung neighbour (about 35) has been unemployed for almost two years.
oops - young (of course).
I can not even imagine. though my sister and BIl have had a similar experience...
Time for a cuppa - talk to you soon.
bye

There is a pathetic older guy trying to regain his youth by driving around in a hotted up car (beach suburb/Saturday afternoon) - he is making not only a fool of himself but also being very annoying noise-wise
It was probably on his bucket list.
I think so - just wish he would stick to his own neighbourhood

Next time he drives by, throw a bucket at him ..
