Hi. I was trying to blurk before I have to go to cricket.
Or even lurk.
hello frances
blurking sounds more interesting
Hi jill. Are you well?
I am indeed well, thanks, Frances -- and you?
good morning all
Yes, thank you. Just coming to the end of a busy summer of cricket. If my team win today we are in the final and that will be it for another year.
hi sprite!
hi jilli and Frances :)
Good luck in cricket, frances!
Hello sprite and thank you jill.
sprite.....helloo
hey rose! :)
*makes mental no4...must email sprite* * grin *

*hugs*
grannyro4, you are in the grid!
yeah, i am. now ain't that great?

ugh -- 62 C words!
hey my fave un4/7 wo4....because i can never figure out how you can be un4
ouch... that is a small puzzle in itself, jilli
lol ro4!
well, at least it's not 62 K words
good, my job is do4...made sprite smile. ;P
thx gran..didn't have that one
omg... I don't think I would even know that many K words.
:-)
you sure did, ro4! Hello dart.

bbl, son just arrived on his way home from work.
sleep well, jilli, and sleep even better
night, jilli. sleep well, hun.
missing one un6/24. I have 2 that have the same 1st 4 letters. Any one know what I am missing?
I think I will follow jilli's example and get some more sleep. Am doggone tired. Hm, cuddling to jilli... good idea... ;)
relatively new here but seriously un 4/7??????? How is that a word??????
hi Dianne!
I just found a fa6/30 that is even more suspicious. Perhaps there is a glitch in the matrix.
hi Lizlin, welcome. And un4 is pretty low profile still. How about crwth?
Random words are creeping in from other dimensions.
HI sprite - did that internet ordering work out (for the groceries)?
I just expect half the words to be blatantly made up
Welsh of course!!!!
still working on it, Dianne, but it looks good!
I love araf!!! About the only word I remember from living briefly in Cardiff!!!
absolutely, Lizlin! :) Also nene, inia, ywis, pfui...
Good for you. How ar eyou feeling?
tired, but ok, Dianne. Debating whether to go back to bed for a bit or not...
Next time those weirdos crop up, I'm sure I'll be asking for clues!!!
one of my favorite weird words is deader. I mean, come on. That is like more pregnant.
asking for clues is always ok :) And sharing fun over silly words too.
You mean pregnant lol!!!!
oops - that edited itself - pregnanter!!!
:D
babble certainly opened my mind. I won't say 'impossible' so easily anymore.
fireworks sans list
gratz dart
well done dart!
does anyone have the other fu8? I have the things to cook on.
nm, monkeyed it. Asking is finding...
I'm looking for that also.
ro4 said it was weird, so that helped in monkeying it. Very vowely at the end, Dianne.
Just got it , thanks.
good job :)
Me too! Thanks for that!
yvw :)
my phantoms for today are Dracula and sarcofagum
which probably is spelled sarcophagus anyway
missing one un6/24
how many are there?
There are three 6/24 and one 6/27
un6/24 - describes the surface of the moon pre 1969
un + past time of to walk on?
Good morning/evening all.
hey Haz! :)
Hello! How are you?
pretty good, all in all. And you?
I'm fine. I'm trying to ignore the fact that it's getting colder.
better dress for it, grin
I have that one and I have the "take a parts" and person that takes it a part.
do you have takes apart and taken apart both?
I feel as if I've only just got into summer clothes and am not willing to get back into winter stuff just yet. I'll have to succumb when I can't stop my teeth chattering in public.
Dianne - try the 'taken apart' un6
hehehe I can see how you'd have too then, yes. I am still refusing to wear socks. Very silly. But no socks and mostly no shoes is freedom.
too = to
How stupid of me - thanks Haz
No problem, Dianne.
back. visit with son very interesting. he and his wife are thinking of buying the house they are living in.
how nice, ro4. And wb.
yup, the current owner is quite pleased to accommodate them. she is looking at reducing her work hours anyway. lol
and hello dianne and haz
Hello, grannyrose.
haz, still coolish over there? as we warm up, you get colder. mind you, not a lot of warmth fere yet.
*here*
It's definitely beginning to get cooler so it's time to add a cardigan etc. We had such a late start to summer and now it feels like we're heading into autumn too quickly. There's not a lot to be done to stop it.
wish it would warm up here sooner rather than later....and don't you dare quote me when it is the height of our summer and i'm melting.
I'll make a no4/4 of that.
nbt nbs :)
well done sarah
thanks mum xx
hey sarah and sarah's mum. yay sarah, nice job
hiya granny xx
hi granny

my son is home with flu, sarah.
well done mum :) xx
sarah give amie a big hug from me xxx

Not really cold, just getting slightly more chilly than it was. It'll get colder although hopefully never as cold as the big freeze of 2010.
nice and sunny here
i will mum am not happy talked to her this morning was 5 hitting her :(
call the school
i am going to not putting up with it
was same boy as last time
that school does not seem to have any clue on how to control bullying
no am so cross mum after all with imogen :(
sarah, is there a governing body which oversees your schools?
yes granny
have you been able to approach them? get them to step in? this is scandalous!!!
They must have an anti bullying policy - that was a requirement when I was teaching in the uk - get hold of it.
If the school doesn't follow the policy, def go to the governors
i am going to make app to see head again
Ask about the policy - they must show you
sarah, not the head. do you have something like our education department?
yes we do
surely, you obtain a copy of the bullying policy over the internet. it would seem you need to go higher than the head of the school
It should be on the net - if the steps aren't being followed then the next step is the governors.
mum going to help me sort it this time
Good luck
hope you get heard this time, sarah. it is shameful that a blind eye is being turned to this bullying
mum will sort it :)
yay for mums, all over the world.
sarah as a vice chair of governors ask for anti bullying policy and find out if they have bought into anti bullying services if so should be a contact number if not contact Local EDucation Authority you will get a better response
thanx pearl, sarah really needs support. her mum is helping her.
mum going to come to school with me
this sort of thing happens allto often and should be dealt with quickly
amie had 5 boys year above her hitting her so need to sort it so mum going to help this time as school do not do anything when i talk to them
That is terrible Sarah..I think I would be escalating it even faster and following Pearls advice. I would be throwing in the word 'police' too if it was my child. Hope it is sorted quickly.
Hello everyone
Sarah that is why it is better to report it to yor Local Education Authority
Make sure you show this bit of the chat (Pearls) to your Mum Sarah
can not see on web about the school bullying police so going to call school and ask for copy and am on phone to mum
Well done Sarah because some schools wont take bullying as aproblem because it looks bad for them but there is help out there for you so keep at it
http://www.freewebs.com/bully-busters/
That looks like an interesting site for you to look at later Sarah -
thank you lynn
mum going to look in bit xx
good luck - I know how awful it is when your child is threatened in any way

Any clue for the cr8?
rhymes with what you put on your armpits
goes anti-clockwise
try this cr & vwl & an orth*****ist is a dental specialist
got it - thanks lyn
yw
just called school they did not want to give me a copy of anit bullying police but told them i needed to read it today
I bet they will email you a copy of the policy quickly if they sense you are serious
they better or i be back on phone tomorr and the next if do not get it or i go up and not go untill i have it
is any body here? If yes, good morning
Sarah you are entitled to read this policy it should be on view for all parents to have access
hi Ruby
oh yeah {{sarah}} {{lynxx}}
hi ruby
hello pearl
I don't usually come on at this time, but I've sent husband to the butcher
hello Ruby
she asked what was about so told her she said can we not sort this i said no as i am not putting up with this anymore
amie is 10 this year but is small for her age so noway am i haveing boys in year above her hitting her and pushing her am sick of the school here
just read the chog. That is horrible about the bullies!
I got bullied in high school, but there was no policy then, so I enlisted a very large, tough girl, nicknamed "Elvis" and she defended me
had this with imogen at the school to :(
Sarah if this is not stopped now while she is at primary things could get worse when she goes to big school that is why i urge you to involve the authorities
BBS
mum is going to and mum going up school with me as i let them walk all over me did with imogen the head told me when they went back to school this trem imogen would not be with the girl that hits her but she is my mum is so mad as this gone on to long now i mean amie small she only in age 6-7 year old bits and is 10 in nov :(
do you know your chair of governors if so speak to them ask if the governors know about the bullying problems in the school and that they are not being dealt with and that it needs to be brougt to their attention
hi, al. we brought our cat, Duchess, home from the vet late yesterday. She tolerated the surgery well, and the chest x ray was clear, with no signs of metastasis to her lungs, which, according to the vet, is the first pace the tumorwould have spread to. She and the other cats are being confined to our bedroom at night so that we can monitor her. The biopsy results should be in by Monday at the latest. for now, her prognosis is guardedy optimistic.
how old is Duchess?
she is ten years old/
pearl i do know one of them i talked to her before about imogen when a girl hit her on the top of her arm with a stick and left a mark which i did take pic of to show them but nothing was done about it :(
well now it seems to me the school is in denial about bullying so bypass the school and go to the top ie Education authority
thats what mum going to help me do as she said this has to stop now
race
oops sorry
so Duchess has several more years left

I am working full time now, and since primo went back to school I am the only driver in the house, with two lovely, but BUSY sport playing girls to be driven here there and everywhere. Just life stuff, and I am lucky to have such blessings in my life, but wow - when it all hits in one week, it's CRAZY

plenty more fish in the ocean - and you are such a nice woman
thanks lynxxx, I appreciate that! Decided to be all "wild party woman" this weekend, and went out to a club with a gf of mine. Who was at the next table? Tertiare's school principal, with his wife, Secondo's English teacher, and the Vice principal of Secondo's school!!!!
lol...guess you behaved then
nope. not a chance! I was needing to get my ya yas out, and sister, they came OUT. I believe the vice principal MAY have taken a photo or two...

Good morning, Babblers!
Good morning Judi!
Egad, this is a huge grid. *develops facial tic*
It moves right along.
BR offered up some great clues for the 8's as well.
62 c words? LMAO
Whoa! Huge grid.
you can do it! Hello sugrraleona!
Hello Scrabs!
Hi Car.
od7?
I received an excellent clue earlier....what you put under your arms, just take of the DE at the beginning.
thnaks
TY
I am very excited today...Zack has his first saxophone lesson!
Hi Scrab
Is he excited?
yes!
Hi Booboo. How is Yogi?
Lol..fine
I just found a 7/8 combo that is new for me....la 4/5 + not off; then plural.
Tee hee!
I began to learn at age 9 that I have zero musical ability other than listening. I tried the flute for a few months and I think my teacher was glad when I quit. I tried piano, guitar, violin, trumpet. My brain cannot read notes and translate that to bilateral finger actions.
Ooh! Here's a trivia question: Name that proper noun...70's & 80's actress often seen on the Love Boat...Barbie ________?
Benton!
I played flute for years. Taught myself some piano. I am going to teach myself sax when Zack is at school so I can help him with the lessons.
Ding! Ding! Ding! Well done Judi!
I'm kind of ashamed that I knew that.
Good for you, Car. I want to be a drummer--I even bought myself drum sticks a few months ago.
Don't be...I knew it!
Oh! Good for you Scrabs! Go for it!
I don't recall Barbie Benton at all.
Judi...tsk, tsk, tsk
YOu are not missing much. Right up there with the Landers sisters.
Good morning Molly!
Who appeared on The Love Boat more frequently? Barbie Benton or Charro?
I'm going to go with Charro on this one.
But Paul Williams may have the most appearances
I would guess Charro. I really have no idea.
gosh, it is hard when there are just so many of one letter (like C) - your brain can just only think of so many C words at a time
Yep
and c is not an easy one
Can you imagine your agent calling you..."I got you on the Love Bost!" me: "Great!" agent: You will be in a romantic story line with Paul Williams!" me: "No thanks! He's creepy!"
*Boat
well i've got 2/3 of them anyway
Hee hee hee. That was Love Boat to a T.
I always felt bad for the people paired with him or Charro.
I remember Sonny Bono being on that show too. Eeesh.
hi again all!
They should have paired HIM with Paul Williams!
'Love Boat' failed to sail across the Atlantic for the entertainment of Brits. Should we be glad or sad?
Hello uusue!
hi car!
Who is hungry? I am going to the kitchen to prepare the breakfast buffet. BBS
Be glad. very glad. However, it does offer good fodder for these memories!
Yes please!
I could use a cup of coffee, scrabs!
Trust me, Haz... you were mercifully spared.
Glad, Haz. Silly show.
Good morning Haz!
gm haz! great to see you
I'll be glad to have missed the boat. Good morning/afternoon all.
Hi Haz
hiya haz
woot, up to 50 c's now
go hursh!
Although, I think there were a few Brit guest actors who appeared on the Love Boat.
I only have 46... but they still pop out occasionally
hi haz!
well i go one tile at a time generally and try to get as many as i can from each before giving up because i find that i get more that way on a first pass than if i just enter things randomly
I must google Love Boat to see what I've been missing all these years.
I do that also hursh
52, an even 10 left, i think i'll call that success for now
Good job hursh
Aaron Spelling was the creator. I'll say no more.
Here is the breakfast buffet, kids. Enjoy!
oh he did things before 90210?!
yay scrabs! Thanks!
Great job Hurshy!
Many things Hurshy! Fantasy Island...Love Boat...
wow, really? I didn't know he was making things that long ago. I think of him more as the influence behind many bad 80s shows

Clue for af6
I want to live in the Shire.

Apparently so, hurshy. Charlie's Angels was one of his creations. He's dead (2006) aged 83.
af6 is very scared
hello everyone

he must have had tori when he was quite old

Hi Annie of Brooklyn
Aaron Spelling = schlock TV.
Hello, Annie.
good morning, scrabbs
Hi all....clue for co8/50 please?
i am trying this sausage this morning and it is quite good... national brand, check it out... Aidell's maple and chicken breakfast link. has sweet potatoes in it, quite good
Hello Hazel, nice to see you
i'll take the sweet potatoes and leave the sausage!
I do love sweet potatoes, hursh
And you, Annie.
i don't get why senor and senora count but herr and frau don't
Flask, I don't have that co8 yet but I'll have a look.
I agree, H

thankyou!
thanks, kje
I have one Fu8: heat sources.
gm annie
Hi Annie!
hi kje, I see you are settled in..love your icon
Fu7 like fu8 but take off the s
neuf
and hi to car.
The other fu8 looks like it came from a vowel rich alphabetti spaghetti tin.
Go kje go!
lol scrab
cr + vowel + most of the od 7
name that proper noun! harry potter's school rival
Well thats the 8's done.....only another 351 to find...lol
I am seeing none of these wo5, not seeing much at all which is hard to believe with 260 to go.
Eton
lol scrabbs, no
Hahaha
I am missing 1 of the 8's.
Its the AL 8
I am missing 6 of the 8's
al8 pl of al7
al8 - plural of al7, al, the beginning of the continent where I live, finish with a consonant.
Hi phae! I don't have the al 7 either!
Ty Haz! GREAT clue!
You're welcome.
al...english beer pee is **ine and not off

bue car - hagd
Bye, car.
Bye Car
phantom: funeral
I have missed your clues haz - always the best
kje ....PB
hey i'm in the grid, at least in relation to my profile pic :) au4
You're very kind, kje.
ok, must go feed animals. bbs.
A good au4/5 is a great treasure.
oh .....
Still in turmoil there, Haz
guess I should go
What have you been hearing? There's been some localised trouble but in general things are pretty good. The vast majority want to get on with life, some want to keep the pot boiling.
Don't go, I was just working out what to say.
Clue for an5
what is (or was) the turmoil?
an *** is a tolkein tree creature
an5 - means leaning, an plus number after nine rearranged.
There are always conflicts during the so-called marching season, mostly a kind of territorial sabre-rattling. I've always said that there'd be less trouble if the marching season was in winter time. Long summer nights = let's make mischief.
is there really something called marching season, or just a turn of phrase haz...
have to ggogle it now
There are lots of marches during July and August and it's called the marching season as a sort of colloquialism.
intresting
but that's probably WHY they have it when they have it, they WANT to be in the mood for mischief
Thanks, Haz. Did not mean to interfere in your best work.
It's all extremely difficult to explain and when you do try to explain it, the whole thing just sounds silly. But we're greatly into silliness if it's been a tradition.
Babble, are you annoyed by what kje said?
you shouldn't be annoyed by what kje said, as it's clearly wrong. i know cause MY clues are the best. :)
according to wiki - Parading is often considered to be an assertion of a group's control over a particular area, and as a result parading can be highly controversial - interesting
oh sheesh... really? I can't say something nice to haz without offending someone?
I fear I tread on BabbleRabble's toes sometimes without intending to.
wasn't you, haz, it was me...
I know, but I've done it in the past.
Haz, You do give the lovliest clues and I am surprised if anyone is envious of your talent. We should be grateful because it brings the end of hard grids to a successful end.
facon is my word for vegetarian bacon... i hope it gets added to the dict someday
(I'm searching in my brain for a new topic of conversation)
lol hursh
Not getting the an5 clue
what is your word for fat free cheese? it needs to be banned along wih vegetarian bacon
an5 - an plus I have ***t many letters of complaint (I haven't really)
i don't have a word for fat free cheese... you can make one if you like :)
Fat free cheese = Headingstraightforthebin
name that proper noun! nadal
Rafa!
rafa!
ding
but the whole thing is there even
I enter rafa every time I see it in the grid on principle alone... just too gorgeous to ignore
an+***er at your own risk
i don't see it - don't find him attractive at all.
WOOT, i have ALL the T's
I have a soft spot for spaniards in general
Is it the accent or the swarthiness that you like, kje?
Ty
it is memories of a spaniard I shared some time with... tall dark and handsome, what's not to like
And I suppose he played a guitar?
no
my husband plays guitar. i wish he didn't sometimes.
but he wrote beautifully
well the B and the F are being troublesome
Guitars are great when they're played well but too much strumming isn't wonderful. I was fascinated a week or two ago to listen to a concert given by Paul Simon and his band. They were amazing.
my husband is good, i just don't like when he plays in the house. it's too loud. i like quiet.
The men in the band wouldn't have won any modelling contests but their music was mesmerising.
there is def something sexy about musicians
i don't usually get attracted to men because they are musical performers, but i did think david cook, who won american idol a couple of years ago, was totally average looking when not playing, and then very attractive when playing and singing.
hurry, dear... pick up the guitar!
One of the nicest experiences of our trip to Bath was tumbling on a lunchtime recital in the Abbey. Two young girls (20s), pianist and violinist played the most gorgeous music in a wonderful setting.
Envious? Hardly. Haz, I have great admiration for your skills and knowledge and have told you so. The snipers can go ....
I stumbled on a small performance like that at Sainte Chapelle once - string quartet in a gorgeous setting with the sun setting behind the glass panels - a perfect moment
BabbleRabble, I don't think anybody was meaning to snipe. And thank you, I know you've complimented me before and I appreciate it.
Sure they did .... very plain
But I get used to the ones who talk about you and not to you.
but i think the original comment that haz's clues are the best was offered in the "you're the best!" "no YOU'RE the best" kind of meaning...
I am gone .... snipers can come out to snipe again. You disgust me.
If I am portrayed as the sniper I did not mean you, personally, I was talking generally. If I offended you, BR, I apologize.
if that helps...
I absolutely understand that it's hurtful to be talked about especially if it feels negative. I've had it myself. Please don't take offence where it wasn't intended.
and that's the point... don't assume ill intent is meant when it isn't
hi all clue for fu8/65 the 1st one plz
pet hair + ross called paolo a ***pw**sel on friends one time
clue please for ro5/18???.....am pulling my hair out looking for it!!
ok that isn't a helpful clue if you haven't seen that show, but it's funny if you have
oarsman, flask
fu8 the first. First three letters are what animals have to keep them warm, next three letters start a pinching sea-creature, last two letters are vowels.
not getting your clue, hursh. never watched that show.
Aah....the wrong R!!!
thanx Hurshy!
luckily haz has provided an alternate :)
argh, these F's!
Hi Flask
thanks Haz and Hurshy
You're welcome, oggy.
ty, haz and hursh
Hi Boobear...how are you...haven't seen you for a while!

holy cow, what a word
I have been busy..lots of company this summer

Good.....hope you had fun....
Yes I did
ok, must get the day going - later all
name that proper noun! han solo's friend who betrayed him to the empire but then redeemed himself in the rebel cause
:)
Bye, kje.
You're asking awfully difficult questions, hurshy. How am I supposed to answer Star Trek questions?
And yes, I know it's Star Wars, only teasing.
grrrrr you tor-like imp! :)
Can I have a clue for the cr8? Tx
orth*****ist works on teeth, put cr and a vowel before that
found it
Clue for ar6 please
ar6 - meaning ordinary, run of the mill. ar plus a material used to make wicker chairs.
the length of a cubit is an ar6 fact
haz do you use the word differently in the UK??
hi, aLL.such fun in the frid today! fireworks.
It's highly probable that I'm not giving the right definition. I'll check.
*grid, I mean
the F's clearly got to you
I've been talking utter rubbish. It means secret, obscure. I'm the wikipedia of babble, never believe everything I say.
lol
Let's hope I haven't used it in conversation otherwise I'll have caused confusion.
ah, when you corrected yourself, Haz, I got it...thanks
No problem, Annie. Nothing like leading you up garden paths.
Yes, but I gathered a boquet while there
Note to self, check definitions!
is ac8 someone who fixes your teeth while doing flips through the air?
It is almost 11am here, must get on with my day, bye dear babblers
Bye, Annie, have a good day.
That's the image the word conjured up for me as well.
great definition, hurshy.. hi all, bye Annie
Hello, Aloy.
Hello, Haz.. has been a while - do you have a new pup in your life yet?
Not yet, Aloy, but I've been in touch with a local Welsh Springer Spaniel breeder who is hoping to have his bitch mated in October, and I will have the pick of the bitches when they're born.
crossing my fingers for you, good news
Funnily enough, we were on holiday last week and met a Welshie pup, only 12 weeks old, and just adorable.
Husband had been a bit anxious about having another but he fell for the puppy and all doubts disappeared.
By the time the new puppy comes we will have been without a dog for over a year. Quite long enough!
I agree.. am thinking of getting a pup for hubby's Bday in f
February.. oops
does co7/36 mean something that happens yearly at the time of the maize harvest?
That must be the co7 I haven't found.
me too
.. ahem.. I also have not found it (-:
well, think of that question as a clue..
ty hursh
Got it now, and that looks like as good a definition as any
watching my grammar.. ok, hurshy, will hunt
also gave me co 6/21
corfe
oops
brb.. phone
hey, haz -- so excited about your new puppy on the way! :-)
I know - the timing will be just about perfect as I will be busy in Feb with the festival - after it's over I'll have lots of time to get the pup sorted out and civilised.
It also saves me from trying to kidnap other people's dogs when they're out walking.
*prepares for haz to have less sleep and cranky*
haz, that's my leaning when I'm on vacation -- miss my dogs so much and am very tempted by other people's! LOL
back to unloading car *poof*
Bye, Une.
Hello, ruru.
good afternoon haz
Phone
remind me what a welshie looks like?
And back - red and white, smaller than an English springer and not such long ears. And a benevolent gaze is in the breed standard.
Britanny Spaniels have a similar colouring, I think.
Although don't take that as gospel because I've been giving false definitions today.
tadone!! finito!! off to get oil changed in jeep and who know what else.
Congratulations, lbd.
cr8/50 pplz
ty haz for the great clues. couldn't have finished this early without them.
oh nice. I am happy for you
You're welcome, lbd.
ttfn...poof
I was hoping you'd adopt Dylan... damn
Dylan the delinquent? Not with his reputation.
:D
well in case you needed someone to WALK you..
cr8 - cr, a backwards female deer (three letters), you must not let dogs ***o the furniture.
Is he a bit of a handful?
you have no idea
.. back, hope to babble in peace
he's like four handfuls
So Dylan the Delinquent is apt?
And it's not as if you're inexperienced or anything with goldens.
thanks Haz
You're welcome, oggy.
LOL... no kidding
he's the most challenging dog I've ever had
How old is he now? And have you had him snipped?
he'll be three in december and he is snipped thankfully
He's definitely well past the stage when he should be settling down.
sometimes with goldens it is three.. so he's sort of on schedule.. I just hope to survive a few more months
his uncle was calm at 1 and a half.. my last dog
By the sound of it, he'd better shape up soon.
lol I keep telling him the same thing
You have another dog, don't you? Does Dylan get on well with him/her?
yes.. a 12 year old ... Sophie.. Mrs. Ru's dog.. sweet as can be...
clues please for the last 2 x un6/24...please??
I bet Sophie just rolls her eyes.
they get a long fine.. we just keep them separate so that Dylan doesn't break any of her bones
exactly.. she tolerates him and his boy energy.
The very last un6 - describes the moon surface pre 1969
And the one before the last 'Woe is me for I am un6/24'
<----clue sponge
Or un6/24 - descriptive of the homework that didn't appear to be marked.
got me:(
un6/24 - not completed might be better
the second last one escapes me!!!
un + what they do to grapes
peel???
when they squish them

printer ink can be a pain

http://theoatmeal.com/comics/printers
aloy
SO overpriced! went to Walgreen's and had a refill done last time.. now my printer insists on performing the "alignment check" every time I turn it on.. wasting ink.. have gone into printer program and can't shut the function off for some reason
Mornin' folks. Awaiting a big wind a rainstorm. Took the fluffs out for a long walk so I won't have to take them out when it hits
aloy,when i put a new cartridge in my printer always preforms an alignment check
That link was "spot on", crossy.. thanks ! we ARE "getting screwed" when it comes to the price of the ink!
I know, crossy.. it just won't STOP doing the check, that is the problem

It's a color printer and when I get a new one, I'm getting a black and white. No need for color for me
i save 5 bux buy buying the pair at once
i also do not have much use for the colour cartridge

uh oh crossy! Hope that's not true.
it has been at least 8 years since i have seen one
sec,ill put google to work...
reminds me of the old Polaroids.. they should have given away the cameras for what the film costs.. they should give away printers too
grumble grumble, whine, whine

well my cat is inside and my doors and windows are closed so i should be okay
cool
am back again.....
(except for one window being cracked open since i grew up near enough to tornado alley to know to do that)
hi flask
hey, flask :-)
she's like a bad penny...keeps coming back!! lol
that's what i've always heard, jmc
oh, why is that jmc?
you'll keep.....lol
Hi Unea..
hee hee:) you still love me
hello :) I thought I'd pop in and say hello and warn all the scots babblers that I'm moving up there ...
if a tornado goes right over you house and it is sealed too well the pressure causes it to implode or explode i forget so you always leave one window cracked to keep the pressure in and outside your house equal
where is tornado alley jmc?
hey, ata!!
ATA!!!!!!
move quick flask..lol
hi ata
tornado alley is the plains states including oklahoma where tornadoes are relatively common
Atal.....you'll be very welcome here in God Country!!

think it's something that causes a smell . . .
ty une
just been offered a great job up there :)
why do you think ata?
wow, ata!
od7...smelly pest!!!
hi ursh
what kind of job, ata?
that's a canny move from canterbury.are you taking it?
do tell ata!
working with offshore industries to give marine conservation advice. so talking to oil companies, wind farms etc to make sure all their stuff is done the best way possible for marine life
how cool!!
what a great job and so important!
sounds like a great job and very important for conservation
it should be really good. I'm really looking forward to it. but one hell of a move!
nbt
if you gonna move make it a hell of a move - why not
when does it start?
not quite sure yet, about 8 weeks time I think
so you'll be having a bonny Xmas!
can i have a clue for the ca6/24 after the young cow please
well, i hope all goes well with the move and your new job ata :)
ca6 honesty, straightforward nature
and loads of haggis une :)
yes! eeeeep! :)
ew LOL
ty une
yw :-)
congrats ata!!
i have yet to have real haggis but i have eaten menudo so i figure. . .why not?
what's that jmc?
well that sounds terrific ata. . .
menudo?
menudo is tripe soup
back in a bit -- good to see everyone :-) *poof*
bye une
pardon me whilst i wretch...
absolutely nothing like haggis!!!
i'd eat the haggis first...
i assume not flask but if one makes you squeamish . . .
they don't do haggis in the sheeps intestines anymore..it's in plastic, like cling film. well, i don't think so, do they flask?
oh well that would be disappointing to me lilliann
i can eat5 haggis, but i don't think i could eat tripe soup
yes...a lot of the older butchers do!
veggie haggis is surprisingly nice, though how it resembles haggis, I don't know
but not in the supermarkets and we get our meat from a huge wholesalers and they don't do it like that either now.
veggie haggis, how does that work?
dunno! I think its just veggies in a haggis shape!
where have you had that ata?
st andrews and london!
clue please for co5/20 please?
a frightened dog would do this flask

molly did u get to watch revolution
am off to watch and buy more crafty stuff which will please my hubby...not!! lol night all and tc
finally at half way
nite flask.big hugs and tc hin.xx
The weather here is gray and gloomy and I'm going to watch Revolution later on Hulu.
Revol. was pretty good. I'm not getting my hopes up though. Every year there is a new sci-fi show on network tv and every year it gets cancelled. V, The Event, Terra Nova....
I know Cos, I feel the same way. I guess you could add Flash Forward to that list.
I'm right there with you condemn...do you watch Falling Skies on cable at all?
very true. i only have 2 or 3 new shows im watchin this season. revolution and 666 park ave. maybe one more or so
yes LOVE falling skies! it was renewed for summer 2013 phew!
Omg, cosdem, not condemn! Darn autocorrect lol
lol i figured :)
dont like Hal's hair in falling skies though
My sis in law DVRs it then tapes it off for us to watch later as we don't have cable or dish. Hubby started watching it from the hotels during my treatments out of town. ;)
oh nice! are you all caught up? season ended a couple weeks ago
Hal's hair, really? That makes me giggle. Why for not?
Yeah, we are caught up :)
it looks very... much like.. stuffing in a toy lol
Lol that's funny
do u thiink the new aliens r good or bad
sorry - i know no one who watches that show too so im all excited lol
can I get a clue for the first ca 6/21?
Lol don't be sorry. New aliens, gosh, it could go either way...I just hope we get to see the show play out and that it doesn't get canceled like everything else Sci Fi that was so much fun. Of course finishing LOST turned out to be a waste...
Annie, I only have the one that's a container
I think thats it
ca6/21 - used in finale of 1812 overture
Annie, ca6-21....used as weapons in the Civil War.
Vicuna's clue is better.
phantom coronet is driving me nuts LOL
Thanks gapeach and Vicuna
the new aliens have soft gentle eyes but looks are decieving.. the skitters were good and they were evil looking
lol - I don't know about that, gapeach... but together we're unbeatable! =)
Both clues worked, thanks for sharing!
Both clues were great
yvw
The Cees are fearsome
Indeed cosdem
still have 1983 left
I gotta run, need to put the baby down for a nap and take a shower before the school bus drops off my second grader :)
have a good day :)
Goodbye, firefly.
You too cosdem! Recorded Revolution last night and will give it a whirl tonight.
Bye Vicuna!
VI VI VI VI VI VIIIIIIIIIII!
ATA!!!!!!!!
yayyyyy!!!!
Hi vicuna
And I have to leave in like 2 seconds! =( But I saw in the chat earlier you'll be starting a new job?
Hello, Boobear.
yes :) In scotland! I'm not really here properly either, I just saw you were here and had to say hi
I want some news, Ata! - Are you well? What have you been up to? How's Hobbit? Are you getting any art done? But I can't stay to hear the answers now. ToGs are waiting by the car for me to come!
But good to see you!
one thing quickly then
before ToG
Hobbit had to put to sleep a few weeks ago :(
Oh, I'm so sorry to hear that. =(
Really must go, but I'll be thinking of you and hope to see you soon.
yes! xx
Atalante!
hello you!
atalante ... you dont know me but I send my deepest sympathy for your loss of Hobbit ... I felt as if I knew him ... God bless.
hows things?
Am I right in thinking och aye the noo was the right comment to make on fb???
awww thanks mo :)
lol yes! aberdeen. can you believe it.
No I can't!!!!!
Fingers crossed for you though xxx
though I just totally upset myself by finding that pic of hobbit and os. its so beautiful!
nor can I!
And me. Was in tears looking at them together.
How Come Sily is with Jason?
me too. darling dogs. at least you have yogi now :)
I do. Although horrible as I am I keep telling him he will never be Os.
LOL! poor yogi. such a legend to live up to ...
Soulmate Os <3
some dogs are special. Os and Hobbit both were that. ALll dogs are wonderful, but not all are Special
Holly and Os were definitely both extra special. But Yogi kind of is too ;) I see a new furbaby in the offing...
Do you know when you move?
They all are, really :P Just some more than others.
I do too ... but I'll be working full time in Aberdeen and I worry about a spaniel puppy in those conditions!
Hm.... maybe get settled in and see how its going...
I think so. I dont think I'll last long without a cocker though
hello Ata and Liz. so nice to see you both and so sorry for your losses
... how sad... exactly 200 still to seek and destroy *sigh*
I lasted two months. A very, very long two months. I feel for you xxx
Thanks Westford
When is MrLiz going back to Libya? Too soon?
thanks West
Kate !! LTNS. It's deja vu all over again.
Monday :(
Not happy about it more than usual with all the trouble kicking off in Benghazi etc
Ata you posted a pic of Hobbit sitting at a table with a bottle of wine..Loved that one
Hobbit was just the sweetest little thing
Ugh. No. Was glad he came back when he did
She was the most adorable, loving little dog I've ever known
Me too. He reckons Sirte is ok. could be just saying that to keep me happy though ;)
hi westie ;)!
he's a sensible guy who has been through enough weird and dangerous things to know when it's too dangerous. but still.
LOL when you put it like that.....
May I please have a clue for bl6-24? Thanks
dont have that one peach sorry
gap, b and King L***, plural
I refuse to do the grid as all I can see is Socrates
an5 please?
never mind
Ack! Now all I can see is Socrates too.
Thanks much, Annie. Is King a real person or, like a group of singers?
LOOOL sorry :D
:P
evening all
Hey there, dan.
And Button. Button should be there.
I need to take my insulin and eat, so I will be back in a few.

co6 before the co5 reef please?
evening everyone
howdy katie
If anyone has been following the saga on facebook I got Mari's cat back today *phew*
never mind
good to hear katie..was it lost?
hello all
hi TO
C's done!
katie.are you the one where someone stole your cat?
hi west
good job cos !
im watching the waltons and am very confused now.
hi crossy too
i keep seeing "carafe"
howdy westford
good night cos boy
the two spinster sisters were talking about how their father took them to see charlie chaplin. so.. wouldnt that mean they would have electricity and plumbing? instead of gas lamps and stuff?
Hi Katie did you do the letter ??
cos,many,many families esp in rural area were still using the "seener" lamps and the outhouses well into the late 40,s
no cos they liked keeping things old fashioned
i mean chaplin did movies in the early 1900s and theyre old so maybe the show takes place in 1950 or 1960? or do they do it on purpose?
ahh ok thanks cos and west
wiki says the waltons take place during the great depression which would make sense then.
Walton's takes place in the 30's and 40's
I love those two old ladies..and Papa's recipe
our old victorian home in port credt still had functioning turn of the century gas fixtures for lighting
crushed those Cs
so the old ladies went to the movies with their father to see chaplin as a little girl is an error in storywriting since their ages do not mesh up with the story
Hell yes to Papa's recipe!
cheers Molly
lol t hey were talking about prohibition being in effect in the episode though so the timeline is all messed up.
gj teach
crap, power surges continue, must go
anyway that annoys me :P
we had no proibition..yaaa and pass the vodka
speaking of Canada how far is it from Quebec City to Ontario?
about 5-6 hours
where in ontario?
i am assuming closest point kate
the touristy part
it's about three hours to the Quebec Ontario border along the Autoroute
hey, do you know my cousin dan from saskatoon? teehee
lol@ toursity part of ontario
It is kind of a stretch Cos. Chaplin silents were in the early movies in 1915. But if you say The Waltons takes place in the 1940's, that still doesn't make those sisters little girls in 1915.
we may go up to Q next August and sil thought it might be a short hop to Ontario
... Ontario is a big place ... it's five hours from the Quebec/Ontario border to Toronto ...
ontario is a tad large.you will have to define your choices a bit
... two hours to Ottawa going north west
sorry wandered off. Yes crossy I am :) Norma the letter is done quoting the law etc but the mad cow has just come round again to drop off the leaflets, bet she was checking that I was here!!
plenty to see anywhere in ont
and i am intoursi country here on georgian bay and it is 2.5 hours north of toronto
I'm terrible when it comes to Canadian geography
... that just makes you an ordinary American
i am more south... n. falls and wine counrty etc.
and westofrd,you can drive from where i am to cochoran and it is 12 hour drive and you will still be in ontario lol
I guess he meant Toronto
why not just send her to moosonee crossy? haha
... okay ... it's five and a half hours Toronto to Montreal
... four hours Toronto to Ottawa
sure,she can grab the train at chcoran and go to moose factory and frobisher bay
Im south west odf
... 1.5 hours Toronto to Kate
Im south west odmtornto
... 3 hours Toronto to Crossy
dos that's more than just a hop..wants to drive
... Four hours Toronto to Detroit
Ugh. Bad thumbs
doseffing - yes, but the traffic will add an hour
actually the great northern/polar bear express is an amazing train trip
so I've heard crossy
Im 3 hours from toronto...1 hour from detroit
... so don't drive at rush hour ... ... meaning find that open fifteen minutes
lol
all the canucks are coming out of t5he woodwork now... better duck!
crossy avoids toronto whenever he can:((
... a wise man
Lol
all i go there4 for it it,s fime medical faccilities
Nonna
we always go through Canada on the way to Grand Rapids..lovely trip
damn typos
toronto rush hour - 4 am to 1 am... encompasses everything from london to crossy to belleville
Ugh..not my day for typing
... oh it's not that bad ...
yup.on weekends on a sundy going south we get backed up with city traffic all the way onto hwy 11
fe5 please. either one
... traffic thins out past Oshawa ...
... unless you're talking Friday afternoon
true, dosef
plural cos?
ty forgot about that S.. now for the other fe5
fe + In emergencies we call out The National G***d
... I live just east of Toronto on the 401 .. (Interstate for Americans) ... but my daughter went to school in Montreal ... I went to school in London ... my roommate was from the niagara region ... and my mother in law lived up near Crossy ... ... so I've driven every road going
ty molly
loved london, and montreal, now want to move to sudbury
we have one of those in MA
... nicer now than it used to be
sudbury has cleaned up a lot since the 70,s
yeah, first time i went there, i was hesitant... but loved it
it's been a pleasure folks, but i gotta go now. see you on thursday or friday with any luck.
bye Kate..nice to see you again
tc kate
canadians have hijacked the chog!! run for your lives!! hehe
I am still here..not running anywhere lol

howdy flosey
hey flosey !!
Albertan here, for 72 years, except for 2 years that I lived in Victoria, B.C.
40 left. bbl in a few
hi crossy, and westy
won't be finishing this grid, but might just make a bit of a dent in it
I'm popping in and out :)
hi Katie
well if Babble is any indication of Canadians I wouldn't mind living there at all
I'll just say "hello to everyone"....but have to leave for a while. I, too, am popping in and out !
you're all just the nicest
sweet of you to say, west, but I think you find the folk you want, wherever you go
I have contemplated moving to canada
you'd be most welcome kj
think they'd give us asylum kje?
aww shucks ty westford
almost studied at McMasters for a bit
kje are you all moved in?
I am west!
on the plus side westford,you can marry who you wish and we have universal health care:)
that health care sounds better and better
<--- also has contemplated moving to Canada
and hi again all :-)
ah, McMaster - my grandfather was a graduate of there
hi sue
I see a mass exodus coming lol
hi west!
there's lots of room
what I don't know is if I can retire there, or if they only want workers
I'm off to bed now so will cease popping in and out - have a good afternoon/evening everyone
night katie!
goodnight Katie
good night katie happy about Mari's cat
thanks west :) *poof*
another Canadian just signed on and also welcomes all Babblers
hi bugs!! Indeed you do!!
hi bugs
170 left, i feel like i'll never finish this puzzle... :(
I think it depends on your tax laws Uusue. SOme Canadians go south for the warmth but can't stay more than 6 months or they lose their pensions
as far as I know my pension follows me everywhere
May I please have a clue for fl6-30 the 1st? Thanks
Hi westford and everyone here. I have over 200 left so I will buckle down now. - So come to the west where the winters are easier Uusue. We will all be neighbours
I am seriously considering it, bugs!
YAY for usue
fl+mothers sister
Thanks so much, ace.
nice clue, acey! thanks!
or a small bottle with a stopper
youre welcome :)
just pasting some info, and this pertains to Canadians retiring to the U.S. .... You may be concerned that if you move to the US that you will lose your Canadian government pension benefits. Nothing could be further from the truth. If you qualify for benefits, you will receive them no matter where you live in the world by simply applying for them. In fact, the Canadian government can direct deposit your CPP/QPP or OAS benefits directly into your US checking account if desired. The exchange rates used are not the most competitive but the convenience is tough to beat.
ok, just passed half way, must go home and have errands to run along the way. bbl!
hi all 133 left, hopefully lickety is up
so Diane so they come baack because theystill love Canada then? I was sure it was taxes
on the other hand, if you are a "snowbird", as we sort of are, you can't stay longer than 6 months in the states, or you could lose your provincial health benefits ( which by the way, don't follow you down there for your winter stay ).... also U.S. taxes then come into the picture, if you are there over 6 months.
It is, peri.
LIckety is up peri
ty bugs
and gap
erfs
erra
Sorry
it likely has to do with visas... staying anywhere indefinetly without coming out isn't usually allowed. Same for my sister in Mexico, she must cross the border every 6 months, even if all she does is drive across and back. I have friends in Europe that also must leave the EU on a regular basis so they take a trip and then just go back in - visa issues
It is taxes Bugsaw.... but your pensions remain stable. We've never tested the system...3 1/2 months is the longest we've stayed in Az. .... I miss my home and the family TOO much !
always glad to see you come back Diane
:-)) .... and it's almost as if I've never been gone... my laptop goes with me and I babble from there :-)
laptops are the best... how did we make it with those old PCs that were huge and immovable?
I gave up my social life when I got my laptop :P
well.... I use my desktop ALL the time... my laptop is just for travel and I would surely miss it !
I have a desktop. computer and monitor all in one
under 50!
gp kje!!
still 133 here
laptop, desktop, wii, and kindle and of course my android
I'm gp'ing!
:-)
Morning all
and besides... on my laptop I wouldn't be able to fit in those LARGE jigidi puzzles that I love to do. LOL
at home, I just have laptop and my iphone... haven't caved to the kindle or ipad etc
35 to go. uh
hi lyn
I do have a kindle
on my kindle theres a jigdi-type game. its fun. but tricky
Cos, the amount of time spent on the computer = less time spent having a social life.
hello West - long time

woohoo cos!!!
Nice work Cos : )
Congrats Cos!
Yay cos !!
Cos, Revolution is reminding me a lot of Terra Nova. Minus the special effects.
i thought so too kind of...
no dinosaurs though1
I was laughing earlier when chat was about "what did we do before our laptops". People would be lost without all their electronics.
frightening concept.
i was gonna say more but u prob didnt finish the episode so ill hush hush
They would have to actually talk to each other. Horrors.
I'm watching it now. I'll be done in 15 minutes or so. Depending on how many times I get interrupted.
i found it very formulaic
it was entertaining and interesting. lets see how ep. 2 is.
how are the md folks weather-wise?
the teacher strike in chicago is over. delegates voted to approve. kids go to school tomorrow.
bet the kids are bummed
Hi Cosdem
Good ending. Makes you wonder "what's next?"
bl6?
time for Jeopardy - BBL
bye wv

Alex Trebek of Jeopardy
passion Peri
I have that for ar5/12 lyn
oops - sorry
a + red flower
duh, thanks Molls
ah thts right today is the new season of jeopardy
=no need to apologize, lyn, someone else may have needed that word
there is a special on on ABC tonight at 8pm about the best TV shows in history
there is?!?!
yep with Barbara Walters. I thought of you cos when I saw it advertised
not here.
ohhh 20/20 thanks!
dvr'ing it :)
yes 20/20 and it is on at 9 pm on the east coast
I am stuck in the b words, need help with be5/14 pls
it starts at 8 here
many thanks
Cos, it's really dumb for them to be acting like Charlie's Mom is dead. We all know Elizabeth Mitchell has a starring role in the show.
found them
i know! i was wondering "why is she dead? will they do like flashbacks?" lol
yvw
its bittersweet to know she's on the show though. She was the lead on V
I still have 111 to find, ackkk!!
She's not dead. Charlie's father said something about her "wandering off". I think she is just presumed dead. I'm guessing Monroe has her.
Clue for cr8/50
I always think of her as Juliet on LOST.
twice before I tried that se7 - NOW it takes
cre & vwl & an orth*****ist is a dental specialist
speaking fo lost... u know that guy um he was on alcatraz too
hurley i think? anyway he was just cast as the giant from Jack and beanstalk for Once Upon a time
sorry that should have been cr & vwl etc
Oh that is great. I love Jorge Garcia.
ugh 12 days left.
Did you catch the mirror guy/reporter from Once is in Revolution? He was best in Breaking Bad though.
that was sidney glass! ur right
the insurance adjuster turned bad ass?
the mirror/genie
3rd un6 pls
85 left and struggling but I will finish before 20/20
plural version Peri
plural of the un4
that is the 2nd but ty
no it is the 3rd
the 2nd is a person who un4
ty
you probably want the past tense version Peri
have all the un words
bbiab
Sidney Glass (Giancarlo Esposito) was the ULTIMATE bad ass in breaking bad. They don't get any badder than that.
Clue for co6/24
LOL someone on OUAT's fan wall on fb wrote what you just said about giancarlo
"Once Upon A Time Fans He was also Gug Fring, the ultimate baddie on Breaking Bad ~L"
co6/24 is plural
which co6/24 though? theres 3 f them i think
First one
thats a plural. fish + not off, then plural
Ty
Molly someone said: Revolution is a big fantasy constructed by Sidney as he whiles away his time imprisoned beneath the hospital
That's pretty funny Cos. : )
dr6 pls
nm
41 left, plugging along
i wonder if torgone knows there are 62 Cs. it's inconceivable.
mab, the c's are the death of me right now.
i have 43 of them. i'm sure the rest are devilish.
9 re words left
fireworks!!!
Good evening to my fellow babblers! How is everyone?
By the way, congratulations to all the finishers! Hooray!
Hi Min

Congrats Peri
Hi, friendly Minver
wtg, peri :-)
Ooo, National Cheeseburger Day. I missed the boat.
hi again all!
Hi Molly... hi sue
Hi sue
hi diane and boo!
missed boo.... hi to you !
Hi diane
I was just thinking that when I read min's profile, molly :-)
It's 8:26 on Walton's Mountain and all is well.
We are under a tornado watch til 11 PM
Be safe bichon..
mrs oelsen is pissed off. again.
I may be in Oz soon
scary stuff.... we had a few warnings this summer but none came to be.
wow, be careful, bichon! You know what to do, right?
stand on the roof and wave hi to the tornado, right?
Love mrs olsen
there you go :-)
and make sure you videotape it!
The cameras are ready to roll
Nellie is preggers!
Nellie?
whoa who's nellie?
lol
No, seriously, you should have a plan - in my house the place to be is under the basement stairs, no windows nearby
mrs oelson's nasty daughter
lol now i get it im slow
in my Oklahoma house (no basement) it was the hall closet - again no windows and lots of padding around
one of our babblers uses Nellie as their profile picture.
May I please have a clue for do5-12 the 3rd? Thanks
Maybe the daughter will land over in oz withe wickedvwitch
whe n I was in the Bay Area last year, at home with the toddler, there was a tornado warning. a rareity in that area. I hid in the bathtub with him. No basement
wow, I have no do5/12 at all!
That has to be my least favorite icon here. That bratty little face.

un 4/7 what a silly word
I agree Diane. : )
If I'm uncomfortable with something, I'll just un4/7
sometimes it would be handy
To ** or to un4/7, that is the question.
Whether tis nobler.... etc. etc.
That's about as much as I know too. : )
Oh, I know more...I think Hamlet was the one we had to study in high school....
that and Macbeth
I've read a lot of Shakespeare, but I can't quote it chapter and verse.
nor I.... just a few soliloquies that were pounded into our heads....
Me, I just know all the words to "American Pie". : D
and that's over 55 years ago.
LOL.... the day the music died
I know all the words to Harry Chapin's "Taxi" too. But that comes from a lot of late nights and many beers in college.
I know exactly what I was doing when that news came across over the radio. ( I was coming 19 )
and my hubby and I had danced to a lot of Buddy Holly ... I was saddened.
well, I've got 6 words left... I'd better get finished and get busy on a quilt I'm making for a 21 year old granddaughter ( it is an Elvis print )
and there we go....goodnight everyone and happy babbling, those who are still working on the grid.

I got that from More words. There was no way I could monkey it
hey, i use morewords too, sometimes!
i used morewords for the fu8 even with the clue :)
hi all
Are you kidding me?! Miss Piggy is the #5 favorite non-human character?! She's NUMBER 1. Not 5.
and what was the clue for the fu8?
JMC where have you been??? I never seem to be here when you are and I missed you
ALF beat Miss Piggy? really?
aw thanks bugs i have been mopping mostly
I agree cosdem altho I have no idea what you are watching
my number one is from finding nemo: i love dora. love love love.
ALF sucked

there is a silly show on the best on tv
mkg: ths is for tv characters.20/20 is doing a special
i got the fu8 from this: "animal coat is fu* + before babies walk they ***wl " with three-vowel ending
just got bows and ar****........a 7
mkg ull be glad to hear ellen degeneres signed to do nemo 2
ohhhh too bad. well i guess no one remembers howdy doody? i loved him. but my favorite was a real person: princess winterfallsummerspring. how i wanted to grow up to be her and look like her. and when i was a hippy in the late sixties i would wear braids and a band across my forehead.
thanks. . . now if i only could remember the difference between vowels and consonants haha!
cant wait for nemo two.
ahhh kermit was #1
dora was so great. as i loose my mind to dimentia i will become dora.....................
i was completely disgusted with ellen degenere saying that she became a vegetarian because by playing dora she understood what fish thought and felt
I hope your absence has meant that your foundation is working wonderfully well jmc
well good for kermit. . . well deserved *hums "it isn't easy being green"*
swimming, swimming, swimming, swimming . . .
kukla fran and ollie were super too. only fran was life. the others were hand puppets. how i loved them!
mkg, how is your daughter with the difficult pregnancy doing?
kermit deserved it if you dont go back to kukla and ollie. and howdy doody.
no i am still struggling for lift off bugs and that has gotten me down
ok all i still need lots of words. yikes.
i think kermit still deserves it even if you do go back to kula fran and ollie and lamb chop and howdy dowdy and princess autumnwinterspringsummer
oh I am so sorry. These times are hard for everyone but you and your talents are needed. Sending more goodness your way.
or was it princess summerautumnwinterspring?
thank you babble has kept me bouyed for sure. . .i appreciate the moral support
fantom error..........
er4 related
i have starting drafting a series of blogs and tweets so that i cant launch a social media campaign. . .then i will need all my babble friends that support me to log on to my web page frequently so i can work my way up the food chain. . . .but that wont be until next wee some time
hi dc
e + ***** bleue and ***** blanche
evening, jmc :)
i am happy to report all on my environs seemed to have survived the storm so far
el + vowel and parents' sister, the nchange last vowel for another el6
no it was princess summerfallwinter spring. i had the doll and on her dress was a symbol tip to bottom of summer (sun) fall (orange maple leaf) winter (snowflake) spring (flower)..........
thats right mkg thanks that was going to bother me . . .
clarabell the clown, you know, went on to be Captain Kangaroo
TY dcseain!
oh how i adored her........................dreamed of her. and now when i see reruns on you tube i do look a bit like her.
i dont get those el clues.
ec4 is a color
should i change my setting to "startnow" ? My computer is inquiring
el6 -- el, a vowel, and picnic pest
el6 -- change last vowel in the other.
what an odd inquiry by it, jmc
i thought so. . . it told me i could search faster but i am wary of changing things only on the computer's say so
thanks got both. i also have the fl. same word with fl.
anyone have a clue what my computer is talking about?
jmc, my advice is to say NO to that request
jmc: http://tinyurl.com/8wnssnn
seriously? i love ellen but she beat oprah in favorite tv show in history???
I would say no if it is unsolicited
you might have accidentally right-clicked your task bar (or something like that) so say NO
that show is clearly rigged . . .they must have only polled white people. . .oprah rocks
yes, it all depends on how they gather their data
okay i said no. . . i googled and could find nothing so i was not going to do it unless one of you said it was a wonderful idea
why grouse about ellen and oprah when we can talk about doctor who? LOL
jm, good for you 8-D
ooo my favorite kind of person is in the grid do5/12
;-)
my phantoms of the moment: fracas and carafe
yes i was just trying to get carafe
*brings carafe of wine to jmc*
sonorant is a fantom.
carafe trending (phantom trend as well)
oooo thankee ru i just finished my jack so that is gratefully received
*offers up 10-year tawny port*
oooh.. yum
Taylors?
my brain has been spelling lots of words in Spanish and French tonight.
i would think that would help dc
sometimes, yes :)
not a lot of french words actually
no . . . there usually are some
cosd is in the grid!
mkg, put an f in front of the fish eggs (ro4), but fr has singular and plural
chicken co6 bleu (and plural)
ty dc
still here ru?
oh i thought co6 was a rope
hi kje
I have a question, not sure if you'd know
yes
hi jmc, dc, et al
hi, kje. ty for ar8 and cr8 earlier
what's the question
it is in English, but like i said, my mind is in france and spain tonight
<--- back to et al.
I have to drive to pleasanton tomorrow morning, arrive by 0800... looks like via google maps it should take about an hour sans traffic, how much worse with traffic would you estimate?
yw dc... tricky words
that looks like a math wor problem - lol
care to share ar8 and cr8?
omlette du frommage!
ac + what rats are but change last vowel
take the number of miles, multiply by 2, and that is how many minutes it will take to get there
the cr 8 has the same last 5, but starts c + musical note
LOL Gwen. Wher i live, you'd never be on time for anything. Traffic here sucks.
You'll get stuck in the Caldecot tunnel for a bit. YOu should allow about 15-20 minutes more
ah it was an ac8
oops.. i said ar. yes, ac8
is the caldecot tunnel 101 over the bay?
the Caldecot tunnel will mostly be open to go to the city and 6 lanes of traffic will merge into two to go east
I always allow an extra 1/2 for each 50 or less miles i am going
my numbers of course are not based on rush hour gridlock, just average normal traffic
oops, not 101 - 80
ugh, that sounds horrid, ru
no.. you'd go over the Bay Bridge.. take Hwy 24 to Walnut Creek.. just before walnut creek take 680 south to Bernal
Bernal Ave is the exit for Pleasanton
once you're on 680 you'll be breezing against traffic
*gets out crystal ball* all questions answered in babbleland
this takes me I-80 over bay bridge, then 580 then 24
yes
24 exit is off on the right .. follow signs for 24
walnut creek
then you'll pass Orinda, Lafayette, then get in the right lanes
so an hour and a half should cut it - OK
sure.. then you'll be there on time.
I have GPS so will do OK, just mostly worried about making it on time.
the main screw up is the tunnel
thanks for your help
you bet
promise some day not to have to ask you sf info ; )
lol . never
I know every piece of SF
did you get them jmc?
but SOMEDAY I will knwo it too!
i'm bedward bound.
even if I can't spell it!
I need to make dinner.. thinking steak sandwiches
g'night and happy babbling, yall!
gn dc
wub wubs are done
did i get what kje? oh . . .I got the ac8 yes
bye dc
bedward bound.. sounds kinky DC
only 149 to go!
did you get the cr8?
I entered Babblela4/5 earlier today.I've had my no 4/4 in the grid for several hours. Ca4/5 finish grid so I may as well give up and do a story of clues for you guys to so 4/4 through. I have to get a daily do4/5 of Babble every day. I ra4/5 home from work just so I can start babbling the se 6/24 I walk in the door.I've babbled in all kinds of places; in my co5/14, at work or at a ca 4/8. I ad4/5 the Babble cr 4/9 here who are so friendly.I love they way babblers celebrate other's successes when someone is do4/5 with the grid. If I ever need clues, I le4/4 on my friends who will do 4/5 on me and give me all the clues in the world. Although we've never met fa4/8 to fa 4/8, I feel like I know some of the babblers here very well. I have also le5/10 so much from the conversations here in the chat log. My husband seems to be hell be 4/6 on playing Farmville. His Farmville addiction bothere me to the co 4/5 of my being! He do 4/5 not care if I am do 4/5 with grid or not. Hubby just expects me to give him the computer. If I don't, he goes on a Babble ra 4/4 & starts yelling in a nasty to4/4.I am going to give him computer. I fe 4/7 what he will do if I don't. I hope you have made no 4/4 of my clues and found more wo 5/20. I am going to go watch "Bu 4/7 Notice". I will see you all tomorrow.
I'm hoping to get out to SF to visit daughter next year
whoa
whew! what a story tonight min!
dc missed my joke
the amazing minver tale machine strikes again!
he may just be ignoring it on his way out the chog
he'll survive ru
jmc - the cr 8 has the same last 5, but starts c + musical note
I meant to post my story earlier,but I had power outage.
oh okay ty kje
ok, thanks again... back to finishing my PP slides... really should learn not to wait til the last second
Heyas kids ..
good luck. .. remember you don't have to put everything you are going to say on the slides
oh darn, min.... I missed national cheeseburger day!
I don't, jmc... I know the PP rules ; )
dang! i will have to put that on my calendar for next year
I had cheeseburgers for dinner today, however,it was coincidental. I planned dinner before I knew of holiday.
didn't mean to lecture but i have suffered death by pp too many times
gn all
bye kje have a great day tomorrow
hi torgie
I am following kje out the door. Back to work tomorrow.
I will only use PP for 16 slides, then convert to the white board for an interactive session on death by bed rest
Niters K
Goodnight to my fellow babblers! I'll see you tomorrow.
!!! death by bed rest? sounds ominous
bye min thanks for the story
unfortunately, I will have to draw my own bed and person this time, which won't be pretty... used to having our medical illustrator pop over and set the board up for me then we just filled in details during the talk
gn min
I may have to resort to stick figures! lol
hmmm maybe you could get a picture of a person in bed and cast it on the white board to use as an outline
hahahahahaha - not by tomrrow morning at 8!
it will work out well - it isn't an art show, and I can use it for humor
you could then trace the picture on the white board instead of drawing. . .
gn again! poof
suggest top-down view
well just a thought. . .
(rectangle with stick figure inside)
o|-=
looks kinda obscene
jm has it! a sticky figure smiley!
LOL! that does look kinda obscene
see you all tomorrow
we will solve problems for you that you didn't know you have! haha
bye kje
yes, that is a very suggestive hyphen, ooh la la LOL
it was meant to be the torso but somehow it looks like a lesser part of the anatomy
its pouring i must go try to rescue my cat bbm'
uh, oh, wet kitty!
stupid cat is no where to be found so she will just have to take care of herself
i bet she has somewhere tohide
well i looked under both the front and back porches. . .so she is probably under someone else's front or back porch. . .she will be okay it is not cold or hailing or tornadoes or anything . . . just rain
I will probably go look again before i go to sleep
well 96 to go, that's it for me. laters, y'all
bye book
i am trying for 1/2 way
okay 1/2 way so that is it for me tonight. . .see you all tomorrow
[crickets]
{cicadas}

I have used AVG for years.

thanks!
I miss being here...but this wedding planner stuff has really taken it's toll on my free time...I MISS all of you guys, too!
WTG GIRLIE!!!!!! and cooee pini
hey granny! :)

hey mlf, ruru, diane
hey granny
don't everyone faint at once, lol, but the bathroom ceiling has just been painted, and the bath is currently being plumbed into the drains.
oh my, granny...what happened?
just need the walls and woodwork painted and the new loo plumbed. * sigh*
<-- been outta touch for awhile (ok, way too long)...
click on it and it should tell you.... possibly that every part of it is not working.
hi grannyrose
pini, we srarted reno-ing the bathroom 2 years ago, it's taken him this long to get thus far.
it tells me i am protected?
oh my, granny!!! So, you're close to seeing the light at the end of the tunnel? ;)
do i need pc analyzer is it free?
atleast he had the shower finished when i came home with my new knee
(I wouldn't think so, MLF...will probably make you pay to do what it says you think you need)...IMHO
not sure what pc analyzer is.... and all I use is the free edition of AVG.... haven't had a virus in years.
bet that was a sigh of relief, granny
or at least eventually right diane lol
if it says ur protected u r fine
