12:21 am

12:21 am

12:21 am

12:21 am

good night everyone -- see you tomorrow evening

12:21 am

12:21 am

yay freep!

12:22 am

just looked at the chat, ruru - not going south this year.

Hi people.

12:22 am

oh wow

12:22 am

hiya neil

hey Neil:)

12:23 am

hi neil! Got a bit of spare time?

12:23 am

hi Neil

Oh god. Could this grid be any smaller?

12:23 am

we are planning another trip to Europe instead.

12:23 am

I think there waqs a 35 once

12:23 am

Hi all! Weird tiny grid!!!!!

12:23 am

we've had a 31, neil

Hey ruru, Karen, jilli and flosey. :)

And nan. Haha, was 31 the smallest so far?

12:24 am

bye :)

12:24 am

Lickety says there was a grid with NO words

Nice photo, jilli. :) Your nose looks much better!

Huh?

How could there be a grid with no words?

12:26 am

random placement of letters, and nothing matched-up, I guess.

Unless maybe there was one with all consonants or something. Which might work in some languages.

Wow.

12:27 am

Nov. 2nd, but I don't know the year?

12:27 am

if it were all consonants.. it would be an iraqui grid

12:27 am

or a cab driver's name

I was thinking Czech or even Welsh maybe?

Ha. I think the longest place-name in the world contains more letters than these grids anyway.

12:31 am

so neil.. how's tricks?

What tricks? I'm not a magician. :P

12:32 am

ha

Well... so now what?

Are you on GT ru?

12:33 am

no.. i'm going to bed.. i'm beat..

12:33 am

Oh. Yeah, I'll be there pretty soon myself. Well not by myself... but y'know.

12:37 am

Concert and party. Didn't get home until around 3am so yeah. Late or early... in the morning.

12:39 am

12:40 am

I can't do that anymore

Yeah. It's been a slow, quiet day.

12:40 am

i bet

12:41 am

I slept in today myself.. I was tired

Oh and our new upstairs neighbor has to be the most heavily-footed person ever.

We have nicknamed him "Stompy".

12:41 am

hate that

12:41 am

we had one of those once

No kidding. He can't walk quietly to save his life.

12:42 am

until I shot through the ceiling once

12:42 am

that shut him up

Haha. I'm sorely tempted, believe me.

12:42 am

it's so rude isn't it

Very. I had one up in Santa Cruz who couldn't shut a door, EVER, without slamming it.

It was like he just didn't believe the door was shut right unless it was slammed.

night all! my book and bed await!

12:44 am

well people in santa cruz tend to be stoned a lot

Nooo?! :P

12:44 am

night alta

Good night Karen... sleep well. :)

u2

Thanks. I plan on it.

*yawns*

12:45 am

*coughs*

You should take something for that cough, ru.

12:46 am

sorry.. I have this tickle in my throat...

Apparently.

12:46 am

:D

12:47 am

oh.. okay..i'm going to crash.. nice to see you Neil.. say hi to your partner for me

Good night ru... and will do.

1:12 am

1:13 am

co5/16 -- add the sometime vowel to the co4

1:14 am

en6/30 -- en + the front of your head

1:38 am

Ivesy you still here?

1:40 am

Heloooo ivesey

1:41 am

helo scouser... was trying to see if there is a way to play old puzzles

1:42 am

getting ready to head back to bed have to work later

1:42 am

Ivesey: if you are a Babble-Pro member you have access to all the archive puzzles. Each one has the grid there and below it the answers. You can copy those.

1:43 am

I did the 744 one on two train journeys as I knew I would not manage it all when I got home. (did it on paper)

1:43 am

ok ty.so u have to copy it, cant do it online

1:44 am

No there is no on-line as the puzzles close each 24 hours. You just have to do lists for yourself. Just like an ordinary crossword solution.

1:45 am

ty.. now back to bed , see if i can sleep.. hagd

1:45 am

I just love this game.

1:46 am

me too!! this one is disappointing

fireworks :)

2:03 am

well done sarah, good morning all

2:03 am

just arrived and seen that it's only 37 words today :-(

2:15 am

grrr. it's not accepting words...

2:18 am

fireworks

2:19 am

well, I suppose this means I have more time to wrap Christmas presents today than I thought I would :-) - bye

2:31 am

ap6, 21 and fa5,16, help required please...?!

2:42 am

5:15 am

hello?

5:24 am

Hi Ruby

5:26 am

Hi Molly

5:26 am

snow snow snow!

5:27 am

paca

5:27 am

sorry, dopey me. It has already been an insane morning, but at least I got a tow truck to come and take the new baby car for snow tires

5:27 am

it only took 5 phone calls

5:28 am

nothing can be accomplished here without multiple feints

5:32 am

Well, glad you finally got someone out to do the job.

5:32 am

I only have 6 more things to do this morning (already past) on my to-do list

5:37 am

I have that kind of day in store for me too. Busy, busy.

5:39 am

for me, it's all stupid little stuff and phone calls, all in French

5:39 am

can't go any place

5:39 am

Ah oui

5:43 am

on hold now with insurance company aargh

5:45 am

When I am put on hold I make a note of how long I'm made to wait. If it is unreasonable, I complain to the company. I figure that is the only way they know about such things.

5:46 am

that's a good idea, but with my language skills, that would be another couple of calls. Half the time, the French-speakers sound like they're Chinese!

5:46 am

it is all very difficult!

5:46 am

If I had it to do over, who knows? But here I am!

5:47 am

Maybe write a letter or send an email then.

5:47 am

I just hung up on the endless music, will try THAT one later

5:49 am

7:14 am

lol crossy, ok. After I finish this one, I'll check!

7:15 am

and now it is time for crossy,s tidbit of the day!!

7:15 am

go for it, crossy

7:15 am

Russia's Sergei Avdeyev has traveled further than any other human in history, completing nearly 12,000 orbits of the Earth as a cosmonaut.

7:16 am

he certainly needed his space

7:16 am

Very cool!

7:17 am

imagine 12000 orbits in the old mir station..would be like living inside a industrial washing machine

7:18 am

tsk... trying a girl's name for the J and no luck... then finding a boy's name and it takes. Silly enable.

7:19 am

works out to 515,000 kilometres

7:19 am

sorry 515 MILLION kilometres

7:21 am

offspring just phoned from school.says all classes are cancelled as none of the school busses can run due to icy road conditions

7:21 am

Funny, sprite! Morning, all!

7:21 am

ouch, crossy

7:21 am

Hi Mimi!

7:21 am

howdy mimi

7:21 am

hiya Mimi :) *hug*

7:21 am

Oh dear.

7:22 am

{sprite}

7:22 am

Crossy!!

7:23 am

Is this the smallest grid ever?

7:23 am

nope

7:23 am

smallest is 26

7:23 am

23 I think

7:23 am

largest is 744

7:24 am

Really? Whoa....from the ridiculous to the sublime.

7:24 am

brb...

7:24 am

I have some cool pictures on my profile now in case anyone wants to check them out...think you'll enjoy.

7:25 am

if I remember correctly, drG has programmed Babble so that it will reject grids with less than 20 (or 25) words.

7:25 am

these small ones i do not care for as they are almost always just babblets and u-words

7:25 am

awesome, Mimi!

7:25 am

un-words

7:26 am

Glad you liked them, sprite. Don't know why the one is there twice.

7:27 am

i have never been able to use flickr properly and they have never seemed to be inclined to fix my problem'

7:27 am

I do like the little ones, they are usually nasty and challenging. Problem is, they are too small.

7:28 am

I'll be putting a couple of me with the kids when they were young in there, too. No pictures of me today....no one needs that image!

7:29 am

so for the last four year or so i have been displaying pictures for the accounbt associated with the name crosshare not crosshair

7:30 am

we do, Mimi. You are beautiful the way you are.

7:30 am

I had quite a time figuring out flickr. But apparently once you upload to flickr that you access from My Account, they automatically show up in the profile. Had to go to Dr. God to find that out.

7:30 am

Yeah---I'm beautiful on the INSIDE....the outside needs plastic surgery.

7:31 am

Now that my looks are gone, I must settle for being colorful.

7:31 am

Mimi, nonsense. Beautiful inside and out. Maybe not according to the magazines, but trust me, they are crazy.

7:32 am

It's difficult transitioning to the way I look now. I used to model and was considered a beautiful woman and now...NOT. But I'm glad I never neglected my brain and personality...they keep me going.

7:33 am

I simply refuse to believe you are no longer beautiful.

7:33 am

Thank you, dear...you are truly kind. Be right back.

7:34 am

You are an excellent photogragher, MimiCat.

7:34 am

<--- not being kind, just sayin'.

7:34 am

hi BabbleRabble, am glad to see you.

7:37 am

does anyone have the other 6? I have en6.

7:38 am

ap6/21

7:38 am

thanks pabtrek, and hi :)

7:39 am

hi sprite and you're welcome

7:39 am

there it is. Down to 7, lol.

7:40 am

Wish I could take credit for those pics, BR, but got them from various sources and friends. I love unusual nature pics. The one rather stark one is sunset at the North Pole.

7:42 am

clue needed please for the ap6/21

7:42 am

The "long road" picture is a road leading into Monument Valley here in Arizona.....VERY spiritual place....Navajo land.

7:42 am

This one does not even rise to the level of a puny grid.

7:42 am

Hi Boysaway, snoring disease

7:43 am

thanks

7:43 am

true, BabbleRabble. If they are this size, I think we should get 3 of 'm.

7:43 am

Classic rock is nice ... any Kingston Trio or Brothers Four?

7:44 am

I would prefer ten

7:44 am

I could live with ten

7:46 am

Still -5°F

7:46 am

brrrr

7:49 am

Good morning all, it's 20 here BR, do you have snow?

7:49 am

hi Jjill :)

7:49 am

Jilly!!

7:49 am

Just a little.

7:50 am

((mimi))

7:50 am

We have just enough to put us in the Christmas mood, just over an inch or so

7:50 am

Going to be in the 70's here in Phoenix....boring but pleasant.

7:50 am

((sprite))

7:51 am

we are having typical dutch weather... lots of snow and hail and wind... and then rain. All is gone, it is gray and very very wet.

7:52 am

Will keep you warm in my heart, sprite.

7:52 am

I am of the mind set to have snow, then cold. We here now get the snow,then rain, then ice :(

7:52 am

Is the ice thick enough for you to play hockey, sprite?

7:52 am

aw Mimi, that is so sweet :)

7:53 am

no way, BabbleRabble. The ice would never be thick enough for ME to play hockey.

7:53 am

Wish I still had a big house so I could invite everyone here for a vacation!

7:53 am

LOL, sprite.

7:53 am

wouldn't that be fun, Mimi :)

7:54 am

Several of us are trying to plan a get-together in the Spring---any chance you could get over here, sprite?

7:55 am

The main event is the first concert of the new Fleetwood Mac tour in Columbus, Ohio on April 4.

7:55 am

Well, it's off to work...bb all hagd!

7:55 am

I am afraid not... would be too expensive to buy a ticket, I think. And not sure I would be ready to try a voyage to the States. France was quite an undertaking :)

7:56 am

bye Jjill, have a good day at work and a pe5ful evening later on.

7:56 am

Bye, Jilly!!

7:57 am

If it happens, will take lots of pictures and post them.

7:57 am

lovely :D

7:58 am

final one, a C5.

7:59 am

and there it is. Fireflies. Tiny fireflies.'

7:59 am

Good going sprite!

8:00 am

At this point, I'd settle for regular flies.

8:01 am

roughage for the flies

8:02 am

yeah... see, I am an optimist. If they don't flame by themselves, I am willing to put fire to them.

8:02 am

*lights a match*

8:03 am

I simply must be satisfied with low expectations, it seems....even on this small grid.

8:03 am

first sign of ending up as a psychopatic mass murderer... burning flies.

8:04 am

Mimi, the small grids are often the nastiest. Don't feel bad if you have no idea where to find another word... the tiny ones are like that.

8:05 am

Glad I'm not competitive or ambitious here!

8:05 am

I only had trouble with the first thirty-five .... the rest were a breeze.

8:05 am

LOL, BR.

8:05 am

lol

8:06 am

not many compatitive players here... most that are are playing at flip time nowadays.

8:06 am

ok... anything I can do to help?

8:06 am

i am not getting the ap6 sleeping disorder. i got the ap5 version of it....

8:07 am

eieios, you need to insert another vowel for the 6. 4th place in the word.

8:07 am

got it, thanks!

8:08 am

I lost some sleep over that word

8:08 am

yvw :)

8:08 am

as long as it kept you breathing, BabbleRabble...

8:08 am

Perfect grid for my busy day. See you all tomorrow!

8:08 am

Hi and bye, Bzz!

8:09 am

hello Bea, well done, and bye

8:09 am

Am going to try again later....just not seeing them right now. Bye all....{{sprite}}

8:09 am

I guess I'd better go and find something else to do ;) Bye all, *hugs* for today and I wish you all a pe5ful evening.

8:14 pm

Oh! Thank you again!

8:15 pm

ruuuuuster :)

8:15 pm

Pro is a one time fee of $14.95, about the biggest bargain on the Internet

8:15 pm

oh guess what - we had dinner again with the pinot noooooor people! agh!

8:16 pm

you did?

8:16 pm

you like to suffer I guess

8:16 pm

Hi welki !

8:16 pm

^5 with sue - one of the best $15 i've spent - even with the exchange rate!

8:16 pm

What's the matter with Pinot noir people?

8:16 pm

you guys didn't get the discount?

8:17 pm

sue, they're ~nouveau~ everything. and experts, too

8:17 pm

they fancy themselves oenophiles (or whatever wine folks are) - me, i'm more of a justin wilson wino

8:17 pm

Ah, so it takes a lot of Pinot noir to make them bearable

8:18 pm

i was designated driver

8:18 pm

i hate wine snobs

8:18 pm

Oh, dear

8:18 pm

i'd hate them less if they knew what they were talking about

8:18 pm

If they say nooooor, they are a boooor

8:19 pm

i don't hate them. i just can't stand the pretentiousness

8:19 pm

ruins all the fun of wine to make it snooty

8:21 pm

oh it's all snooty - the house is snooty, the kids are snooty, the restaurant is (awful) snooty - i'd bet that if i got them to the lake and opened up a bottle of fireball and chilled a case of beer, they'd be a whole lot more likeable

8:21 pm

if it wasn't about being (hahaha billy crystal) impotent, i'm sure they're okay

8:22 pm

You are bad, welki :-)

8:22 pm

no, i was good. very very good :)

8:23 pm

we went from placid to flacid

8:23 pm

flaccid

8:23 pm

:D

8:23 pm

on the tail of the last two dinners, i cancelled the next two business luncheons (although i went to one on thursday that was okay - all schmooze, no booze)

8:24 pm

yeah, that's my lake! Lake Flaccid!

8:24 pm

I imagine all the rubber boats are deflated on that lake

8:25 pm

no need for rubber boats - but there is a fly called the STIMULATOR that might help

8:25 pm

You guys are VERY bad :-)

8:25 pm

you've heard of ling cod.. well.. in that lake they're called limp cod

8:26 pm

Talk about a cold fish...

8:26 pm

haha

8:27 pm

this is what a yellow stimulator looks like: http://tinyurl.com/ca7tdz4

8:27 pm

freshwater shrimp

8:27 pm

Not sure i want to open that in public...

8:28 pm

sue, it's a legitimate flyfishing fly

8:29 pm

is it spanish?

im here to clue you my loves

8:29 pm

we have burbot here, ru - some call it ling cod (but i don't agree) - it's delicious

8:29 pm

<---Listens for HARUMPHS from lurkerville

8:29 pm

I know, just kidding

8:29 pm

i could catch peacock bass with a spanish stimulator

8:29 pm

However I am going to go home now, see you all tomorrow!

8:30 pm

8:48 pm

8:48 pm

when dinosaurs roamed the earth, i bought the nicest stannard chimes there. now that i live in a city, i can't (won't) use them!

8:49 pm

Old Town is awesome. And yes, The Torpedo Factory is still there.

8:50 pm

i was sitting in my car waiting for a friend in harrisonburg va and the wind chime up the hill was driving me nuts

8:51 pm

8:51 pm

ugh. there should be a bylaw. that and the stinky-fish bylaw.

8:52 pm

8:52 pm

well i really must be going. . . must get up at 4 am to take sister to hospital for minor surgery. . .

Hello babbleland! Done decorating, now relaxing before bedtime...congrats to all grid winners...

10:20 pm

I'm over a month late finding out, since I don't chat much here any more and I've been neglecting my duties as a BabAnon admin/moderator, but I've just found out that our lovely Hetty has died. May she rest in piece and find the perfect Babble grid in Heaven.

10:21 pm

I meant 'rest in peace'. Sorry about the typo.

10:22 pm

The grid today was a real disappointment when I first saw it, but didn't take long to do. Just as well, since I had lots to do, too.

10:23 pm

I know, so very sad....but she's in a better way now

10:23 pm

You would be proud, I did this one without Lickety...but I bet my time wasn't even close to yours...

10:24 pm

My time wasn't that fast, Jillyjill, since I left about 9 words for later.

10:24 pm

I think the worst part of teeny grids is no one much is on...not much chatting..

10:25 pm

But I am proud that you went 'naked/listless'. x

10:25 pm

*covers up her nakedness* ;)

10:25 pm

Yes, when I used to chat on here, I found that a disappointment, too.

10:26 pm

Lol - Jilly. It's chilly here in UK - not the best time to be naked.

10:26 pm

Did a little before work, then finished when I got home. Probably about an hour total.

10:27 pm

I know...lately the chog has been a little tense for me...easier to ignore with bigger grids

10:27 pm

Nor here.... a balmy 35

10:29 pm

Jillyjill - I'm hopeless at remembering people's real names and so h ave no idea if we're Facebook friends. If we are, you will have seen how my Mum and her friend saw The Naked Rambler doing what he does when the temp was 3 deg C here last week.

10:31 pm

After being let out early from a prison sentence gained up in Scotland, he got arrested here last week, but has been let go again, despite refusing to wear any clothing other than a pair of socks for his court hearing. lol

10:32 pm

We are FB friends. But with the new newsfeed I sometimes don't see things from people...will go check, imagine a chuckle will be found

10:33 pm

I know he is pursuing him human right to be naked but I do have to ask myself if he has a mental problem after 18 prison sentences AND choosing to be naked in such cold weather.

10:34 pm

Jillyjill - send me a PM on FB to say 'hello' to remind me of your real name. x

10:34 pm

As my hubby would say.."Major shrinkage"!

10:34 pm

Will do, just went to your page, quite the story, also liked the condom pix!!

10:34 pm

LOL! Yes! That's what my Mum said. I asked her if he was wearing a hat and she told me she hadn't noticed.

10:35 pm

I bet not!!

10:35 pm

Ah, yes, the condom pic - the Waitrose shelf arranger who obviously goes to parties unlike those most of us attend.

10:36 pm

We must run in the wrong circles...teehee...

10:36 pm

I'm not signed into FB right now, but will check in with you later.x

10:38 pm

I always say that 'someone' needs to do a reverse directory document on our FB Babble Community page...

10:39 pm

I'm 55 years old. I love the man I'm with and wouldn't really relish the idea of an orgy or a swinger's party. Having said that, I never really fancied that idea back in the 70s either. Can't speak for The Swinging 60s, 'cos I was just a child then.

10:39 pm

Lol, re the dictionary thing.

10:39 pm

Same for me, BUT, I do admit to some hot tubbing and sunbathing sans clothing

10:40 pm

Got bad news today, if you can stand another rant against our badly broken health care system.

10:42 pm

Don't talk to me about topless sunbathing! There's a video of me in Portugal back in the 90s, shot by my now ex-hub and his Dad where my two kids are finding it very funny to splash cold water on Mummy's bare boobs.

10:42 pm

Jillyjill - what bad news?

10:42 pm

My body was not in sans clothing shape in the 90's...

10:43 pm

A very good friend and coworker whom I have worked with for 24 years was diagnosed with liver cancer. Has been on our Federal Medical Leave Act which gives one three months. She has only been able to work one or two days.

10:44 pm

She was told today that her leave was up, even though she has vacation time left, she no longer has a job or health insurance...sucks big time

10:44 pm

Oh, liver cancer is never good news. So sorry for your friend.x

10:45 pm

Well, they got the cancer and she is two weeks out from returning to work...just she is supposed to get a liver transplant. Now no way to pay for it..

10:47 pm

What happens there when health insurance runs out? Do people get left to die or do they receive inferior/cheaper treatment? I can't imagine how doctors, having taken the Hippocratic Oath, can square leaving anyone given less than their best to die. It makes no sense and makes me sad that profit overcomes humanity.

10:48 pm

Well, at least with the much maligned obama care, pre-existing conditions cannot be held against you for a new company, but it is expensive!

10:48 pm

Surely, if someone leaves their liver for someone else to gain life from after their death is it the DUTY of any doctor capable of carrying the operation out to do it.

10:50 pm

What you've said makes me very glad that, ailing though it is, we in UK do still have our wonderful NHS,

10:50 pm

I have friends and relatives (and many babblers) that live in Canada, I know what this country needs is socialized medicine. This should not be a business! I absolutely detest insurance companies and pharmacuetical companies!

10:51 pm

It's struggling under modern strains for sure, but it's still working, albeit a lot more slowly than it used to.

10:51 pm

So, people have to wait for awhile for an elective procedure...that's infinitly better than people going without needed treatment

10:52 pm

Jillyjill _ I couldn't agree more!

10:54 pm

There are some organisations that should not work on a profit theory - health care is one of them.

10:55 pm

I'm off now. See you next grid. xxx

10:55 pm

I so agree!! Well, I suppose I should head off to bed. It has been very nice to have our chat tonight! Thanks for listening to me!!

10:56 pm

It's nice to have a proper chat with someone. xx Sleep well!

Herro

11:08 pm

Herro helinfelnarrady ..

Hows it going?

11:11 pm

Not bad ..

I am going to ruin my cat's day today. I am going to take her to the vet for nails clipped and hearing check

11:13 pm

How do you check a cat's hearing - open a can of tuna in the next room?

Torg she hears that but you stand behind her and clap and nada

11:15 pm

Maybe she just doesn't care ..

Well she isn't in pain but her ears make squishy noises when rubbed. So if it can be fixed we will fix it and hope that her temper changes. If she is deaf then she is just going to be cranky till the end of her time

11:16 pm

"Somebody's clapping? Meh. That's not food .."

What I mean is her ears do not twitch and cat's ears twitch with sound around them

11:18 pm

I know. Just being flip ..

Thoug yoou do have it right - food move like lightening human talking meh

off and going

11:56 pm

hello everyone -- bigger than 37 tonight, I hope :)

11:57 pm
