I would like to call your attention to an alternative explanation for who is behind the creation of "Nancy Boy". I have posted everything I know concerning who it is and who it isn't, here: http://tinyurl.com/bz5dtt2 Thanks to anyone interested in having a look.

bless you Dee, much appreciated, and Dart too

1:56 am

volley are you sure you wont be stealing time that you and your hubby could spend together and that it is really needed? lol :)

yw flosey I always love community effort grids :)

dart, you are soooo bad

1:57 am

i know...but.....he wont let it go

1:57 am

dart, you're sounding more like another babble friend, won't mention any names

no comment... waaay too much drama here

1:58 am

on purpose flos...i know who you are talking about

1:58 am

hahaha

read faux's profile... and really still wonder who is /was involved with whom and what

1:59 am

that's why volley said i was being bad

1:59 am

i know the one we are talking about wasn't involved...buut he does act like that once in a while

2:00 am

boy..we have to do a lot of chatting to scroll that list stuff off of the screen

fireworks

brb will post in profile

2:01 am

wtg volley

2:01 am

well done Dee

2:03 am

hi all - congrats, Dee!

2:03 am

hi rbud

please check that it's there

ty so much dart!! Hi rb, and thanks

2:03 am

so...not wishing to be a downer (or dramatic!), but I has a sad... had to take our little dog in today, poor little thing was blind, deaf, and could barely walk any more... I was having to carry her everywhere, and she was coughing and fainting and then puddling a dozen times a day, the pills weren't working any more. I'll miss her, but she was around 18 years old, and it was time. couldn't stand to see her confused, lost, crippled, and embarrassed any more.

2:04 am

it is volley

2:04 am

thanks Dee, it's there

so very sorry, rb... know how tough that is

yw, great

hi and back. first two letters of the 10, pls?

2:05 am

it is very hard to do rbud...but for the best...had to do that to our cat a few years ago...very hard

2:05 am

se 10

2:05 am

sorry rb, that's a tough one to face, we did a few years back and still cannot face replacing her

oh, rbud, so sad.

2:05 am

hey we are back to normal...yay

2:06 am

I keep thinking I hear her barking out in the living room, but it's actually Hubby with the flu. (halfhearted lol)

yay!

yipes, hope he doesn't bark for too long

ooh, got it. I was on a roll with that suffix as it happens, and had gotten the root word already. tx dart!

2:06 am

oh, yes, noticed the stretched-out chog, glad that's fixed.

2:06 am

a few words with that ending

we actually got a "real" snow today... looks like winter here'

2:07 am

it is pretty, isn't it Dee

interestingly depending on the suffix, the se root could go one of two ways...

my body doesn't like it, but it sure is pretty from the inside out lol

2:07 am

as long as it doesn't hang around

2:07 am

happened when i put in the letter lists..for some reason it adds a slant n and then the chogs gets messed up

2:07 am

Back again. Thank you so much for the list Dee - I really appreciate it xx

2:08 am

I noticed it putting the slant n into some links in here a few days back, very odd.

yqw, I was just the secretary, many helpers here... especially dart for my last 14 :)

chogs?

I think it does it after 150 characters

sounds like coca treats for dogs

2:08 am

i was on the numbers keys...not even close to the slant

happened after his last update

2:09 am

drg?

yes

how much snow do you have dart?

leftmost S, I have 6 of 7, sp4X2, sp5X3, and sw5. What am I missing?

2:10 am

been having enuf troubles with other comp. things ..guess i didn't notice his latest update

list in my profile, mel

2:11 am

sp 6 maybes...a plural

2:11 am

Thanks to all others involved in creating the list, too!

what's up with your puter?

hugs liz

2:11 am

volley...none on the ground..we had a dusting the other night..30 hrs after it was 74 lol

d'Oh! that was it dart! tx

2:12 am

:)

he has esp, mel...always knows what I am missing LOL.. and granny rose is getting about that good, too

2:12 am

for some reason one of the games sites i go to will not load in now...has for years and i dont think i changed anything

isn't that strange... that must have been the day you played golf

2:13 am

i have redone firefox twice...java 4 times...bunch of other things and sp5 way too much time trying to fix it

my netflix has suddenly not been working on my laptop; my hp printer changed how it scans, and solitaire blitz is funky on my computer... not sure what is up with all of this..

2:14 am

74 golfed in shorts/short sleeves but wind was 30 gusting to 45 that day

wonder if it has anything to do with not upgrading to windows 8

I can't imagine trying to golf in those winds

you'd need an anchor to keep from blowing away

2:15 am

i know java had some big security issue...not sure if something/someone (antivirus, etc? blocks it now without telling me or what.

I was wondering if my norton is suddenly blocking something, too, but I have no idea how to fix it

2:16 am

site says java is not working.....go to test site..says it is not working...it tries to install latest and can't because then it sees it is there...weird

I am not getting their normal popup to override it.

maybe wait til end of week and check it again... may be their problem entirely and they'll fix it

2:17 am

but most of the rest of the sites such as this work fine....beyond my capabilities and the amount of time it has taken.

2:17 am

i know apple blocked java about 2 days ago

was thinking I need to phone a friend and take my laptop to her

2:18 am

and if i keep messing around i will mess up something and don't want to do that

totally understand that

do you all still have a lot of wind

2:19 am

How many words today please

224

2:19 am

nw 10 mph and 39 F right now

2:20 am

Thanks

2:20 am

and gran, Dee has very kindly posted a list in her profile

not bad

yw, gra

2:20 am

today was nice...think the next 4 days are supposed to be too

send it our way... I think we have snow possibilities through Wed

2:21 am

i would just like some rain....still in at least a 2 yr drought here

we had thunderstorms last week

ditto the drought issue

2:22 am

front went thru here overnight and formed the tornadic line just east of here the next day

we need some kind of moisture or this summer will be awful

2:23 am

that is one thing we seldom have here - when I first came here I missed the thunder storms we had in Ontario

tornadoes in Jan?

I wonder why you don't flosey?

2:23 am

we had one tornado inOntario, went through just north of us

2:24 am

they had tornadoes in OK/ARK/MO/MISS/ALA/TN/GA when the front went thru a few days ago...weather channel had non stop coverage

2:24 am

no idea, Dee, we do have lots of rain and some days hubby calls a mizzle - not really rain, more like a wet mist

I try not to watch tornadic ne4... makes me anxious..

interesting flosey

seems really unusual for this time of the year

2:25 am

you need instability to get t-storms...they have a deep marine layer by the ocean and not enough dry air aloft to destabilize the atmosphere...need to go east of the mtns

makes sense

2:26 am

low level war moist topped by cold dry air is the most unstable

sounds like a fabulous climate and place to live

2:26 am

warm

2:26 am

we're west of the mountains but still not far from the ski country - as the crow flies only

do you have mtn views?

2:27 am

do they have any skiingon the island flosey?...or is it all north of vancouver on the mainland?

2:28 am

we have a small mountain just up the road, we see it from front of property

2:28 am

we also own a piece of land up Mt. Bruce , the mountains on the island are not really very high

lovely

2:29 am

the mt. property is where hubby's dad homsteaded after the Boer War - he was originally from Ontario, after the war he and brother came west

well, all, I am off til the flip. Rest well! *poofing with hugs*

2:30 am

see you then Dee, sweet sleep

2:30 am

nite volley

2:31 am

I should head off to bed, good to have Dee's list to start on in the morning, have friends coming in in the afternoon for wine/cheese

2:32 am

good night all who may be left

2:32 am

nite flos..i'm off too

2:32 am

dart, skiing is all north of us

2:32 am

night dart, flosey, Dee

2:33 am

mainland...or do they have some onisland?

2:54 am

Hullo all & on the way out as usual since my work station is getting busy: checked back in the chog tonite to find total # of words since Lickety wasn't up (my minimum goal is always a-half-plus-one) and found the post from Fauxmage. I'm used to convoluted garbage, having been for many years a "reader" for a publishing house, and I can say that this was one of the best. (not a compliment) Ruru made sense; Mr/Ms Faux doesn't. But the post does -- highly manipulatively -- attempt to engender negative feelings in genuine Babblers once more. I hope you will all ignore it. You are good people and don't deserve this.

2:58 am

Going to have a look. Thanks, jwr.

3:12 am

methinks they doth protest too much.... but that's just my humble opinion

3:13 am

certainly took a while to read, that's for sure

3:14 am

It doesn't make sense at all.

The diatribe does read a little like "War and Peace", but without the plot! Very convoluted!!

3:15 am

oh, it makes a bit of sense, but I still don't think it proves much. not a great believer in ISP addresses proving anything.

3:17 am

and I'm quite sure we could find the ranting and raving from back then if we gave a darn. I even recall the seperate webpage "JC" set up in order to rant about people who get their dogs from breeders instead of as rescues - pretty mean-spirited stuff.

My IP address changes every day. I agree that she does seem to protest too much.

3:18 am

I mean the stuff about J.C. being the innocent victim of a hoax. And the ranting was 9 Feb 2011, I think.

3:20 am

Just to prove that we're not all woolly-minded about the facts.

If she were doing a closing argument for the defense I think the jury would have dozed off half way through.

3:22 am

us hapless hillbillies here in the Midwest cain't think fer ourselves, and ain't got good memories, neither, lol

LOL

3:23 am

we must be led like lambs to the alleged truth...

3:25 am

But wait, we're breaking the terms, all debate should be in BabAnon.

3:25 am

I confess I wonder where the perpetrator (s?) is/are entertaining themselves these days, I pity any other hoax victims.

Ooopsie, but they I never did like to follow 'the rules'....

3:26 am

"I didn't break the rules, they were broken when I got here!" (just saw that quote today, it tickled me.)

3:27 am

It's all jwr's fault.

3:28 am

hahaha!! yes, 'tis true.

3:30 am

Well, I must go. I'll see you later. Bye!

3:30 am

bye, Haz, have a good day.

4:14 am

hello. Anybody still here?

4:15 am

For me i have only been here a few mins, Hello, Ruby.

4:16 am

Hello, Ruby and zoom

4:16 am

{{zoozz}}

4:16 am

hello BR

4:17 am

the woodman is here, delivering the 5th stere of this cold winter

4:17 am

Hello, BR.

4:18 am

sato

4:20 am

Fair -3°F -19°C Wind Chill -18°F (-28°C)

4:21 am

that is too cold, BR!

4:22 am

7.3c here windchill approx 2c a bit windy but ot too bad here...too cold for me where you are, BR.

4:23 am

I think it's similar here, zoozz, but we had a horrible windstorm during the night, terrified the dogs (and me) and moved everything around

4:23 am

we get very nasty windstorms because of the lake

4:24 am

Yes we had that a couple of days ago, Ruby..kept me up most of the night...don't think it was as bad as yours though.

4:25 am

we have a very big BBQ plus its gas tank on the deck and they were moved as far as possible by the wind

4:25 am

I can't even lift the tank, let alone move the grill

4:26 am

It is only cold outside

4:26 am

The power of nature can be amazing, Ruby..so i am not in the least surprised..good job it did not pick it up and dump it on your roof.

4:27 am

unfortunately, it's pretty cold inside, as well, hence all the wood

4:28 am

Glad to hear it, BR..as long as it is toasty inside.

4:30 am

Your house sounds like it keeps the heat in like mine, Ruby..which is not much at all..i have the heating going all out right now..and it is only 19c in here...warm enough though..lol

4:43 am

it sounds like it is hot choccy time,with all this cold weather talk.plus a splash of navy rum.........

4:44 am

Don't blame you, Rancook.

4:45 am

*Roncook...i really do need glasses.

4:51 am

I think I might need a jacket today.

4:53 am

I would if i was going outside..and a warm hat.

4:58 am

5:57 am here and 55 f. With a high today if 70

5:05 am

Hope you have sunscreen

5:05 am

Must admit i miss the hot summer days..hope they return soon.

5:13 am

morning everyone

5:13 am

Hello, Katie.

Being a native Floridian, it's difficult to imagine living in the temperatures you talk about.

5:16 am

Yes i often wonder why do i continue to live in a cold place..but family soon reminds me..if it wasn't for family..who knows..lol

Is there a list somewhere, please?

5:34 am

Do not know..maybe Dee might have one.

5:37 am

I have just checked, Marc..and Vollymomdee has one in her profile.

5:43 am

42 more to find..time for a sunday roast..take care, all.

5:47 am

How many words are there today please?

5:47 am

224

5:48 am

Thank you! :) I can't wait until I get paid and can go pro so I don't have to ask!

5:49 am

no prob ;-)

5:53 am

Hello again

5:58 am

good afternoon, dear all

5:59 am

hi Sprite

5:59 am

hi lyn :) xxx How are you today?

6:01 am

tired - a long weekend that is going to extend into the week

6:01 am

You?

6:02 am

hi all.

6:02 am

*hugs* and a dose of energy for you. I am good. Caya's friends just left after their sleep-over. Caya is off to bed, very content with her birthday. :)

6:02 am

hi medusa!

6:03 am

a happy girl, how nice. I assume they didn't actually get much sleep and were up all night?

6:03 am

hi Medusa

6:03 am

ouch. A phantom -ing ending. That's gonna bug me today.

6:03 am

hey sprite and lyn

6:05 am

no lickety today i see

6:05 am

no indeed

6:06 am

watching a doco on Andy Warhol - such beautiful work when he was so young - amazing talent

6:06 am

Hi all :)

6:06 am

interesting, lyn

6:06 am

hi Liz :)

6:06 am

good morning my babble friends;)

6:06 am

hi Liz

6:06 am

hi liz

6:06 am

hey crossy

6:06 am

crossy :) *hug*

6:06 am

Glad your daughter enjoyed her birthday, Sprite :)

6:07 am

Dee has a list, if anyone wants it!

6:07 am

hi Cross

6:07 am

thanks liz

6:08 am

so,easy one today or does it have teeth?

6:08 am

so am I, Liz, grin. Yes, it was a thorough success. An all night movie marathon. They watched Neverland, Spirit, The brothers Lionheart, Day of the Triffids... they braided eachothers' hair... a real girl night.

6:08 am

is there a link to dees page?

6:08 am

I don

6:08 am

I don't know - probably in the rankings.

6:09 am

don't know yet, crossy, firrst 78 are easy

6:09 am

yes, in the rankings. Open the rankings and Search/Find Volleymomdee

6:09 am

Sounds like fun, sprite = as you say, a real girlie evening!

6:09 am

search for VolleymomDee

6:09 am

thanks

6:11 am

gonna sound really stoopid but how do i get the rankings?

6:11 am

Above the chog, by the star.

6:11 am

not stupid at all, medusa. At the top of the page, you see Archives and then a blue star with Rankings. That is the button.

6:11 am

got it!

6:11 am

And as a previous head teacher of mine always used to tell the kids, there's no such thing as a stupid question!!!

6:12 am

lol Liz... we always say: there are not stupid questions, only stupid people.

6:12 am

:)

6:12 am

(as a joke, of course. Asking a question is never stupid. Not asking one can be, though.)

6:13 am

Just have to be brave enough to ask!

6:13 am

exactly!

6:16 am

now feel really stoopid! cant see the serch thing!

6:17 am

ok, de8 is a real weird one. How to determine the de8 of someone?

6:17 am

medusa, are you using a windows computer? Then it is Control + F.

6:17 am

thanks

6:18 am

and again, it is not at all stupid. Just the first time you need it.

6:19 am

got there eventually!

6:19 am

good :)

6:20 am

i cant function without a list! lol

6:20 am

I'm just over half way and will probably list soon. But I'll try to leave it until tomorrow morning!

6:21 am

a little over halfway here as well. Slowing down. But I found 3 7s and 2 8s, which is pretty good for me.

6:21 am

im gonna see how far i can get without the list first

6:22 am

i only just started so not got many

6:22 am

I have 4 7's and 3 8s - quite pleased with that!

6:22 am

yep. Play it the way that gives you most pleasure. After all, that is what the game is for. That is my personal opinion anyway.

6:22 am

wow Liz!

6:22 am

I agree!

6:22 am

i agree too

6:24 am

:)

6:26 am

100 left for tomorrow - I'm off to unwind. It's been a busy weekend! Enjoy the rest of your weekends :)

6:26 am

I am going to have to get a bio book on Warhol - really interesting - Book Depository, here I come!

6:27 am

bye Liz, have a peaceful evening

6:27 am

7:02 am

Hello Molly, thank youm I will be needing it soon. :)

7:02 am

how do i get it there not online

7:02 am

* you

7:03 am

Sprite, did you read the one million word "defense" in Babanon?

7:03 am

no? I'll go there now and check it out.

7:07 am

Must go make coffee, be right back.

7:11 am

back. Lol. Yeah, poor JC, the victim and not the hoaxer. Well, I trust the proof ruru has found and I will go on keeping my distance from anyone who wants to be a drama queen. Thanks for the head's up, Molly.

7:13 am

Pretty much what I think, and what others think, based on chat comments. Notice how no one ever speaks for themself? It is all done through this "person".

7:14 am

indeed. And so very verbose. It looks familiar.

7:15 am

another day, another grid :)

7:15 am

hiya hursh :)

7:16 am

hi hurshy

7:18 am

my cats are uncooperative.

7:18 am

you should try monkeys. They type better.

7:18 am

mine are al sleeping!

7:19 am

*giggles* Molly, just read your profile text. Amen to that.

7:20 am

: D

7:21 am

i think "danglies" should be a word.

7:21 am

i'm sure i've heard colbert use it as a euphemism for testicles.

7:21 am

o me too hursh. i use that one alot

7:21 am

danglies. Let them all hang down.

7:22 am

lol. i use it for the ends of wool when i am knitting. as in i use the danglies to sew up

7:22 am

dangleberries :)

7:25 am

i see the loch monster is getting a lot of use as an ending today

7:25 am

it sure is. Groundhog day is over, Loch monster day has come.

7:26 am

If you miss Groundhog day, you can rent the movie

7:27 am

dang it, i meant to watch it yesterday when they were showing it all day on tv!

7:27 am

I really like that movie. Hi BabbleRabble, am glad to see you.

7:28 am

i still have not seen that movie!

7:28 am

andie mcdowell is sweet. i don't know why she hasn't been in more things than she has. i feel like she's mostly just done l'oreal commercials.

7:29 am

Me either, but having to live a life over without change is my definition of hell.

7:29 am

ah, it was his at first too, brabble...

7:29 am

yes, but the essence is to make changes for the better and escape from the eternal loop.

7:30 am

which is why I said, "without change."

7:31 am

yep. That would be hellish indeed.

7:32 am

fireflies. I liked this grid a lot.

7:33 am

change is interesting ... many want to but have not thought about what to change, what to change to and how to go about it.

7:34 am

change for the sake of change is silline4.

7:34 am

ok, I have to be off. *hugs* to you all and thanks for the company.

7:34 am

I have asked people to name one person who they believe to be normal and why?

7:35 am

my sister is pretty normal.

7:36 am

people want to go back to like they were, but just like normal they cannot describe what that means accept in general terms .. like i was happier .... in what way

7:36 am

there is no normal

7:36 am

no normal people here :)

7:36 am

stats for the 10 please?

7:36 am

normal is a statistical abstraction

7:36 am

peri good that means i am in the right room and playing the right game lol

7:36 am

married, two kids, one pet, works part time, optimistic and happy, house, yard, no weird hobbies or dogmas...

7:37 am

se 10.77

7:37 am

that is your perception of normal

7:37 am

i feel like i have met lots of normal people but most of them are boring.

7:37 am

ty dianne

7:37 am

who is Norm al?

7:38 am

well brabble, you did ask for one person who *i believe* to be normal, so, it kinda has to be based on my perceptions.

7:38 am

how might each of us be unique based on nature and nurture and yet be normal?

7:38 am

if you just want to say there is no such thing as normal, or that the word should just not be used, why not just say that?

7:39 am

you ticked off a list from the census

7:39 am

Morning all. Stats for the E in the last column?

7:39 am

well it's hard to explain the personality stuff that makes her seem normal to me.

7:39 am

I did

7:39 am

en 4/5 bzz

7:39 am

en5 & 6

7:40 am

Duh! TY

7:41 am

7:44 am

7:44 am

ca i get a clue for the 10 please?

7:45 am

se10, has the ending common to this grid in many 7's and 8's, root means calm

7:46 am

is it an extension of the 6 7 7 ?

7:46 am

yep

7:46 am

yes

7:47 am

:)

7:47 am

I have an se6/7 but cannot see the se10

7:48 am

loch monster ending

7:48 am

The point is simple — there is no “normal.” http://tinyurl.com/yl5wh8j

7:48 am

ah, ty so much smores

7:48 am

peri use morewords thats how i got it

7:48 am

nbt and nbs i am out of here poof

7:48 am

I use morewords when I get farther along in the grid

7:49 am

Hi BR, I agree, normal doesn't really exist.

7:49 am

i dunno, maybe i just think people without mental illnesses are normal.

7:50 am

:)

7:51 am

So, anyone without a professional diagnosis is normal?

7:51 am

no - you can be mentally ill and undiagnosed :)

7:52 am

sa4 yes, normalm eh...maybe, maybe not

7:52 am

So, who decides what is abnormal?

7:52 am

another random m, weird

7:52 am

in one sense, everyone is different, so nobody is normal. in another sense, everyone is different, so everyone is normal. in another sense, the non-mentally-ill are normal (to me).

7:53 am

The normal people of course....lol

7:53 am

maybe it's like beauty - in the eye of the beholder.

7:53 am

agree hurshy, I like that :)

7:53 am

I could of saved a lot of money juts talking to you.

7:54 am

:) BR

7:54 am

nah, there's nothing like a therapeutic face to face relationship in my book

7:55 am

hello everyone...interesting conversation

7:55 am

morning annie

7:56 am

Hi Annie :)

7:56 am

Mayo Clinic ... normal appears to be the residual after the statistical abnormal is detailed: http://tinyurl.com/ykjjjqb

7:58 am

here is something dumb though. sizes for airplane seats and cars and things are based on the height of the AVERAGE man. but by definition that is going to make them too small for half of all men! they really should base it on two standard deviations above average, at least!

7:58 am

I just read fauxmage's lengthy story on Babanon.

7:58 am

What is mental health? Online Q&A 3 September 2007 Q: What is mental health? A: Mental health is not just the absence of mental disorder. It is defined as a state of well-being in which every individual realizes his or her own potential, can cope with the normal stresses of life, can work productively and fruitfully, and is able to make a contribution to her or his community. In most countries, particularly low- and middle-income countries, mental health services are severely short of resources - both human and financial. Of the health care resources available, most are currently spent on the specialized treatment and care of the people with mental illness, and to a lesser extent on an integrated mental health system. Instead of providing care in large psychiatric hospitals, countries should integrate mental health into primary health care, provide mental health care in general hospitals and develop community-based mental health services. Even less funding is available for mental health promotion, an umbrella term that covers a variety of strategies, all aimed at having a positive effect on mental health well-being in general. The encouragement of individual resources and skills, and improvements in the socio-economic environment are among the strategies used. Mental health promotion requires multi-sectoral action, involving a number of government sectors and non-governmental or community-based organizations. The focus should be on promoting mental health throughout the lifespan to ensure a healthy start in life for children and to prevent mental disorders in adulthood and old age.

7:59 am

sounds good to me brabble

7:59 am

esp the part about integrating it into primary care

7:59 am

"Story" is a nice word for it Annie. : )

8:00 am

woot! 200 words!

8:00 am

" normal ( there's that word again) stresses of life"

8:00 am

Hi Molly, I was not surprised

8:00 am

woohoo hurshy :)

8:00 am

Neither was I Annie, I've been expecting it.

8:01 am

don't think i've ever seen fauxmage, i must not be on at the same time.

8:02 am

I saw her after Nancy Boy's de5.

8:03 am

dimensions of wellness http://tinyurl.com/ykjjjqb

8:03 am

i hadn't even heard that NB's de5 was a hoax until pretty recently. and i've TOLD people in the REAL WORLD about how they should get malaria shots before going abroad BASED ON THAT STORY! now i feel silly.

8:05 am

fauxmage is the one who got on me for telling JC what for after he went after soodle

8:05 am

I learned about NB's de5 very recently. Don't feel silly..it was a successful hoax. Too bad people do these things. Destructive.

8:05 am

Shouldn't feel silly hurshy, it is still good advise.

8:06 am

well i'm glad i've not been on at whatever time all the drama goes down! was part of some few years back and have had quite enough.

8:08 am

Despite staying away a lot, I am the antagonist for many and much goes on everyday that many do not notice ....

Hi does anyone know of a list today please?

8:09 am

But then, I am very abnormal.

8:09 am

yes, dee or molly's profiles

8:09 am

Don't stay away BR...I've missed you :)

thanks. I'll have a look.

8:10 am

lol...BR, as am I

8:10 am

Good Sunday to all

8:10 am

Pax. Aloy

8:10 am

Happy Sunday to you too Aloy :)

8:10 am

hi aloy :)

8:10 am

...always a ray of sunshine :)

Thanks. Found the list in Dee's profile.

8:12 am

Is anyone passionate about who wins the Super Bowl? Then, I wish your team success today

8:12 am

I am rooting for the Kansas City Chiefs

8:13 am

nope, just gonna watch the commercials :)

8:13 am

I'm rooting for the Cleveland Browns

8:13 am

I'm rooting for the New York Yankees

8:14 am

hooray! we will have our own non Super Bowl, for teams that always wind up in the toilet bowl

8:14 am

LOL

8:14 am

Hello, Annie. The Yankees befuddle me ... soon they will have to join the wheelchair league as old as they are.

8:15 am

BR, I agree..ARod again in trouble, Jeter..ankle. They should be in the senior league.

8:16 am

If there is some money in it, then the gravy bowl

8:16 am

lol...

8:16 am

LOL, BR

8:16 am

Well, I must grab a bite and get ready for church.

8:16 am

It is true what Fauxmange says about the vitriol on this site. I too have been attacked for inconsequential statements. We all think that because we are relatively anonymous on the internet, we don't have to suffer the consequences of our actions. NB's "D5" has had far reaching effects; this from a person that did not even "exist". If you have nothing nice to say don't say it. Maybe that should be a mantra above this window.

8:17 am

lotsa money... hagd, smores1

8:17 am

Enjoy the day all....Happy Babbling :)

8:20 am

Have there been disagreements and confrontation on this site? Yes. But overall, I find it the most friendly and good natured site I have ever visited.

8:21 am

I agree MollyL

8:22 am

how many words today?

8:22 am

I agree as well

8:22 am

G'day, Haz.

8:22 am

224

8:22 am

thanks annie

8:23 am

Hello, BabbleRabble.

8:23 am

Hi Haz

8:23 am

Good afternoon, Haz

8:23 am

And good morning/afternoon/evening all.

8:27 am

Haz, When is Dempsey joining the family?

8:27 am

Hopefully he'll be here the first week of March.

8:27 am

I would like to call your attention to an alternative explanation for who is behind the creation of "Nancy Boy". I have posted everything I know concerning who it is and who it isn't, here: http://tinyurl.com/bz5dtt2 Thanks to anyone interested in having a look. If anyone wishes to comment please comment on Babblers Anonymous, so the chat here stays free of debate. It would also be really great if anyone who remembers Nancy Boy when he first joined Babble could tell me if he used photos from Matsumoto right from the start, and if he was constantly trying to get people's emails or get them to connect to him on instant messengers. Thank you.

8:28 am

dands

8:28 am

sorry... didn't realize i was in chat... lol

8:28 am

misspelled anyways...lol

8:28 am

I need to get the Festival over first, then I'll have time to get him settled in.

8:29 am

I love the name.

8:30 am

That's the name he comes with - I'm not sure whether he's named after a former British detective series Dempsey and Makepeace or whether it's after Patrick Dempsey, the rather attractive actor in Grey's Anatomy.

8:31 am

or Jack Dempsey, heavyweight boxing champion from the 1920's

8:31 am

There's another possibility, you're right.

8:32 am

But Spangle has a special place in my heart.

8:32 am

I should have asked the night we went round to see him but I was too busy admiring him!

8:32 am

I loved Dempsey and Makepeace when it was on and am completely addicted to Grey's Anatomy so it's a great name either way :)

8:33 am

I know, Spangle was great. I have a photo of her on the wall so she's not forgotten.

8:33 am

Or Rick Dempsey, famous Baltimore Oriole catcher (probably not though given his location)

8:34 am

I'm quite happy with the name so I'll keep it no matter who she had in mind.

8:36 am

missing 1 we word. Have 2 we5 and 4 we4 -- anyone?

8:36 am

we7 is the other

8:37 am

thanks Haz

8:37 am

You're welcome.

8:40 am

I have as8, da8, de8x2, what is the stats for the other 8, please

8:41 am

Good morning!

8:41 am

Good morning, car.

8:42 am

Hi car. How are Z and D?

8:42 am

my grammar is down the toilet. What are the stats for the other 8, please

8:42 am

Better, finally!!!!

8:43 am

so glad to hear that, car.

8:43 am

Haz, I just was reading through your comments. Although I do use a lot of punctuation and smiley faces at the end of my sentences....I am really who I am! :)

8:43 am

There are 3 de8 words.

8:44 am

Thanks, Haz.

8:44 am

Oh, I know, car, don't worry!

8:45 am

Don't believe Car. She is part of an evil cartoon conspiracy to take over the world. : O

8:45 am

Pink phone covers for everyone!!!!

8:45 am

Is Winnie the Pooh involved?

8:45 am

Eeyore!

8:46 am

Be afraid, be very afraid.

8:54 am

I was worried about my smiley faces too :)

8:55 am

I think I should be as I'm about 30 years too old to be using them

8:56 am

Yikes!! Having surgery tomorrow and what is the first word I see? : {

8:56 am

Hi hego! good luck with the surgery tomorrow {{hugs}}

8:57 am

(Not de5/14?)

8:57 am

ty Car, I need those hugs.

8:57 am

we 5/24?

8:57 am

yes Haz, that was it.

8:57 am

tash

8:57 am

Hego I have every confidence that all will go well and that you will have a speedy healing process.

8:57 am

oops

8:57 am

good luck for tomorrow hego

8:57 am

ty Katie

8:58 am

hi katie!

8:58 am

Cleanse your mind from that and think that what you REALLY saw first was de4/8 - a description of the surgeon.

8:58 am

will do Haz. : )

8:58 am

Ooooh Hego! Your new weemee is in the grid! ho 7/32!!! Meow!

car - we5/24 is we + ed4

8:59 am

Good idea Haz. And maybe, as an added bonus, the surgeon will look like Patrick Dempsey. : D

8:59 am

Oh! I know sugrraleona! I was teasing hego that that was her first word!

8:59 am

Molly he is handsome. and has great hair!

8:59 am

Let's face it, if surgeons looked like Patrick Dempsey, we'd be begging them not to mask up.

9:00 am

Seriously, hego, how long are you expecting to be in hospital?

9:01 am

and does the hospital have wifi?

9:01 am

it is a knee replacement. I will be in hospital for 2 days.

9:01 am

hi hego.. (())

9:01 am

But then I must go to rehab for 7 to 10.

9:02 am

Hi Aloy.

9:02 am

hego, good luck. you will be jitterbugging in a few weeks.

9:02 am

Growing old is not for sissies.

9:02 am

I hope all goes very well for you.

9:02 am

I hope so Annie. ty

9:02 am

9:03 am

There's that Italian word that I NEVER see in the grid.

9:04 am

I speak Italian and I never see it either.

9:05 am

It's like asea and niece. Just not visible.

9:05 am

I read a great quote about growing old...Don't complain about growing old. Many have been denied the privilege. ~ Earl Warren

9:05 am

invisible words

9:05 am

good point Molly

9:05 am

another invisible word: ocean

9:06 am

Agreed, Annie. I don't know what it is about them - two many vowels together?

9:07 am

crossy is back:)..or maybe it's not really me:)) hehe

9:07 am

I smell bacon

9:07 am

mmm bacon...

9:07 am

Oh, it's you allright.

9:08 am

Molly, I like it when I complain about getting old and people say "It's better than the alternative." I always want to say "How do you know?"

9:08 am

Haz, I think it is the vowels.

9:08 am

Good one Mimi

9:08 am

any day on this side of the dirt not becoming a worm feast is a good day

9:09 am

It sounds as likely an explanation as anything, Annie. That'll be our excuse from now on.

9:09 am

Aw, but you see I had a near-death experience years ago and it was wonderful on the other side....

9:09 am

You got it, Haz.

9:10 am

9:11 am

Hi Ivesy!!!

9:11 am

Hi, ivesy!

9:11 am

Hi ivesy

9:12 am

Hello, ivesy.

9:12 am

hi Ivesy

9:13 am

Fun grid...just going to town...till I hit "the wall" which is much sooner for me than for most of you...but I'm OK with that.

9:16 am

Cannot believe afton isn't accepted...no poetry.

9:16 am

Good day to all.

9:16 am

Scrabbler!

9:16 am

Hi Scrabs!!!!

9:16 am

Hi Scrabs

9:16 am

Hi Scrabbs :)

9:17 am

I just threw my mother into a tizzy by suggesting we have Sunday dinner earlier so we could watch our Buffalo Sabres (hockey) play at 3. We usually have dinner at 4.

9:18 am

you moved her cheese.

9:18 am

Flexibility in life is important I have found....schedules are made to be broken. Funny, hego.

9:19 am

it was a great little book.

9:19 am

The game is not that critical, and I don't care about the Superbowl, but I know my nephew will want to watch the game, and he joins us for dinner, with wife and baby.

9:19 am

Haha, Hego. She claims she might not be hungry at 1.

9:20 am

Very considerate, Scrab....and if she isn't hungry then, there are always leftovers...

9:20 am

Mimi, so true! My mom always said the secret to a happy life is to have a sense of humor and be flexible! LOL

9:21 am

your mom is a genius.

9:21 am

Hego, be tough this week! Move, move, move, and take deep breaths.

9:21 am

Wise woman, your mom.

9:21 am

Great wisdom, Une.

9:21 am

she was wise indeed :-)

9:21 am

I will do Scrabs.

9:22 am

Hego--you must avoid blood clots, pneumonia, UTI, etc. You already know this.

9:22 am

My cat is arguing with me...it is so funny.

9:22 am

Hego...I finally went back to the gym yesterday...didn't make it 10 minutes on the elliptical machine before my knee started screaming at me...so I will have sympathy pain for you.'

9:22 am

for once I will do as I'm told. lol

9:23 am

Silly cat.

9:23 am

my mil was so ocd and inflexible with her daily schedule she would actually begin to fret so much she would feel unwell if it was altered

9:23 am

Keep going, Car.

9:23 am

watch out for those machines Car. and be kind to your knees.

9:23 am

My mother got so flustered that she couldn't give me her grocery list. She said she will call me back.

9:24 am

I have one rule...there are no rules.

9:24 am

Yesterday I snowshoed for 90 min instead of cross-country skiing and my body is so sore.

9:24 am

I just took a gorgeous picture of the kitten!

9:24 am

<----- LOVES snowshoeing!

9:25 am

cool, scrabs!

9:25 am

It is a very tough workout. I followed a trail in the woods, up and down hills.

9:25 am

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

9:25 am

Only one half of a dolphin's brain sleeps at a time. The other half that's awake signals the dolphin to come up for air to prevent drowning.

9:25 am

I envy your location, Scrabs. I really miss having a woods nearby.

9:26 am

Yay, Crossy!

9:26 am

Fascinating.

9:26 am

hey, crossy :-)

9:26 am

Never knew I had so much in common with a dolphin....only half of MY brain works at a time, too!

9:26 am

howdy une

9:26 am

must go. ty so much for all the good thoughts and advice. bbl

9:27 am

take care, hego . . . hugs to you!

9:27 am

Mimi, I am SO lucky to live next to a large park. I go there several times weekly, year-round, for mountain biking, hiking, snowshoeing and cross-country skiing. I wish there was a lake for kayaking.

9:27 am

((hego))

9:27 am

Good luck, Hego!

9:27 am

Bye, hego!

9:28 am

scrabby,you can use my georgian bay anytime:))

9:28 am

Annie, who is Bobby rooting for in tonight's game?

9:28 am

I'm really ready to leave Phoenix in so many ways. Am thinking about moving up into the high country at some point where there is a change of seasons and more wildlife.

9:29 am

The 49er's. We have a $2. bet. I have the Ravens.

9:29 am

That would be cool, Mimi. I hiked in the GC 19 months ago. I want to return and do a rim-to-rim hike someday.

9:29 am

We are ordering Turkish food and eating in the livingroom.

9:30 am

Turkish food?

9:30 am

My ex has hiked every trail there. It is beautiful but stark in most places.

Annie I am sorry to say but you are going to lose your $2.

9:30 am

wonderful and delicious. not very super bowlish but I love it and so does Bobby.

9:30 am

Just added the pic...only took me half the day!

9:31 am

Hi Marc, most likely but we will see.

9:31 am

9:33 am

Hi shirlock

9:33 am

pardon? snow,last i looked was not gender specific;)

9:33 am

9:34 am

snow

9:34 am

shirl, and very good one on sheepshead bay road

9:34 am

nothing warms my heart so much as to see my beloved out there cleaning off the car:))

9:34 am

True, Crossy, but Car needs to Babble.

9:35 am

Not with this knee.

9:35 am

well,yes,babble must always be taken into consideration in these matters

9:35 am

shirl, what is the name of the restaurant in bay ridge?

9:35 am

Crossy...I bought my nephew some duct tape with cartoons of bacon on it yesterday!

9:35 am

9:36 am

9:36 am

Keep a towel handy, crossy, for drooling into.

9:37 am

Hello, WelkiQ

10:41 am

where did that Q come from..lol

10:42 am

could be that kind of day, zoozQ :)

10:42 am

I heard Crossy had a couple of feet of snow...did you get similar, Welki?

10:44 am

no, zooz - we're over 2000 miles apart. we had some frigid weather and a few inches of snow, but a western wind has come in (from west of the rocky mountains - it's called a 'chinook') and now we're having mild weather

10:45 am

Thats not too bad then..it managed to get upto 9.7c here today..after a cold start.

10:46 am

supposed to be 6c here today - a big improvement over our -25 last week

10:47 am

-25c Brrr

10:47 am

windchill brought it down to almost -40c - tundra weather!

10:49 am

It amazes me how people can survive day to day living in those harsh conditions..i take my hat of to you all..wait i don't wear a hat..but you know what i mean..lol

10:50 am

you would if it was 25 below, zoom

10:50 am

it's not so bad for me, i have only a three block walk from where i park my car to my office - i look at the outside workers and wonder where they get their stamina from - construction workers, emergency services, utility workers - amazing folks

10:51 am

haha..so true, Leslie.

10:52 am

They are hard as nails, Welki..not me at all.

10:52 am

didn't see the loch suffix before

10:52 am

hello again

10:52 am

ruby.. can I ask you a question?

10:52 am

i just found it too, helping out a lot with the biggies, ruby

10:52 am

10:52 am

Hello, Ruby.

10:53 am

<-- looking for others....

10:53 am

hiya zoozz

10:53 am

well, us 'northern' people owe some thanks to those who make life easier by doing those outdoor jobs

10:53 am

hi, ruby

10:53 am

hi welki, is there enough ice for ice fishing yet?

10:55 am

yep, there's plenty of ice and fishing is reportedly very good this season - i've not been out this year

10:55 am

phantom: pe**tagon

10:56 am

for 8s i have: as, da, de, de. what am i missing?

10:56 am

ty LeslieAnn, I haven't any 8's

10:57 am

the loch suffix will get you all the d8s (assuming the 5th isn't also)

10:57 am

aah, found the as, a good start

10:57 am

ooh thanks for that, Leslie.

10:57 am

3 de8

10:58 am

de8 yay

10:58 am

thanks welki, *jumps back into grid*

11:06 am

does the third De8 end in the monster suffix?

11:06 am

ahem...there was a question for Ruby????

11:06 am

yes - like having agility

11:07 am

{{molly}} didn't see the question

11:07 am

Is the list available?

11:08 am

Ru wanted to know if he could ask you a question

11:08 am

Vollymomdee has one, Bubba, in her profile.

11:08 am

I didn't see ru.....

11:08 am

i was wondering ruby if you remember when "Nancy Boy" attacked you in the chat... and was it over a dog or a coat as per fauxmage

11:08 am

but of course

11:08 am

thanks

11:09 am

it was because of my "fancy" dogs. He disapproved of buying pedigreed pups.

11:09 am

I don't think I ever mentioned my furs lol

11:09 am

ah.. Fauxmage in her post says it was regarding a ffur coat.. so she's wrong there too

11:10 am

and then when my husband was attacked by a rescued beauceron, he said the dog shouldn't be put down

11:10 am

I must be famous!!

11:11 am

you are indeed

11:11 am

smiling

11:12 am

Ruby do you remember about when that was? Year/month?

11:12 am

yes.. when did you get the pup?

11:12 am

huysband was attacked in July 2010

11:13 am

so was NB"s attack right after that?

11:13 am

and I already had two chows but have since lost one (Max, pictured) and gotten a new one, Rufie

11:14 am

It must have been or I wouldn't have felt so strongly about the dog needing to be put down

11:14 am

BTW, it wasn't

11:16 am

wasn't??

11:17 am

no, after many delays and court appearances, the owner was found guilty, paid a very small fine and the dog wasn't put down

11:17 am

no one seemed to have the authority

11:18 am

if the dog had attacked someone smaller, it would have been murder!

11:19 am

does pign*** lead to fa7?

11:20 am

halfway, nbt, but missing the 10 for nbs. got the stats?

'Round these parts, city folk call those birds flying rats

11:40 am

there are over 1,200 species of bat in the world and none of them is blind.

11:40 am

gee I don't know about that.. there've been a lot of rats around here lately

11:48 am

for the de8/75

11:49 am

Bea, being from Maryland, I should be rooting for the Ravens. But I have such strong dislike for that team that I am in a "don't care" kind of mood about today's game.

11:49 am

thanks zooz, looking

11:49 am

Got it, thank you, was looking for a loch monster ending

11:50 am

ah, got it, thanks zooz

tytyty zooz, puzzled over that one last night

11:57 am

yw :-)

11:58 am

Got a problem, maybe babblers can help. If i use a computer screne for mor than 5 or 10 minutes i get splitting head aches. Any one know anything?

11:58 am

Although to be fair..i mostly re-churn clues i have learned from todays chog.

11:58 am

That is a question for a doctor, not Babble people.

11:59 am

I'd talk it over with your doctor, onyx

11:59 am

Get your eyes checked out ?

11:59 am

I'd see an eye doctor onyx

11:59 am

You could be sitting too close, the brightness could be too high, or you could even need your eyesight tested.

11:59 am

Thought that some may have experienced the same and could offer an idea. Went to the eye doctor, got tinted lenses

12:00 pm

But without a doubt..what the others have said..go see your eye doctor.

12:00 pm

did your doctor refer you to an opthalmologist?

12:01 pm

Went to an opthamologist

12:01 pm

Thanks everyone, my ten minutes are up.

12:02 pm

Don't sit in the dark with juust the screen light as it gives off too much glare..have other lights on in the room.

12:02 pm

see you later onyx

12:07 pm

down to 46, going to take a break, read the news, bbl

12:07 pm

Bye for now, Flosey.

1:21 pm

Soodle even - gosh can you tell I've just woken up from a nap :)

1:22 pm

Lol @ Suddle!!!

Just tell me

1:24 pm

So Soodle, did you read the long diatribe on Babblers Anonymous?

1:26 pm

I read it, but I have never seen that persona.

hi babblers!

1:27 pm

Hey, TO. Hope you had a great birthday.

1:27 pm

hello TO

hi teach hi bea. ty. went to s ahow last night and superbowl party today

1:28 pm

No, I didn't Molls. Heading over there now.....

don't bother, soodle. time marches on.

1:30 pm

I know the exact time in the archives where Soodle was attacked by that person, and JC. So the claim that there is no "proof of accusations" is weak. It's all a lot of back peddling.

1:31 pm

Can't see anything recent on Babblers anon??

1:33 pm

Molly, could you email me the relevant link, please?

1:36 pm

http://tinyurl.com/c4p6mkz

hello everyone - thought all the Americans would be glued to the tv set today :)

you mean you are not having rabcakes and prime rib flown in like mario batali? what a low rent party :P

1:50 pm

The game is not until later Nan.

1:52 pm

not "all" Americasns watch football or sports in general, but we are in the definite minotiry

1:55 pm

Oh dear oh dear oh dear. Once upon a time, I googled 'Interesting Word Games'. I happened upon Playbabble.com. It tickled my fancy, and I subscribed a minimal amount of money to join. I really enjoy playing the 5x5 grid, whenever I get a chance. The chat is an added bonus. I have made lovely friends here. I have received gifts & cards from friends I have never met in person. I love Babble, and most Babblers. I have enough (excuse my language) shite in my "'real" life, without enduring shite on Babble. I read that post, and have chosen to not comment. Nuff said.

1:56 pm

excellent choice Soodle! XOXO

1:57 pm

((((Hego)))) i an going to light a candle for you in the morning. Best best best of luck!

1:58 pm

The people who claim that Babble is full of hatred, malice and vitriol are all in the minority. And interestingly enough, they are all friends too.

1:58 pm

oh, ty so much dear.

1:58 pm

most of the folks here are dears, for sure!!

1:58 pm

Lots of good Babble mojo goes with you tomorrow Hego.

1:59 pm

the rest I can ignore.

1:59 pm

stuck -- anyone have a list?

1:59 pm

Dee's list in my profile.

1:59 pm

I know, ty molly, i love you all.

1:59 pm

For sure Molly. And there will be Babblers across the globe rooting for you tomorrow, Hego.

2:00 pm

ty molly

2:00 pm

ty sweet Soodle

2:01 pm

Oh thank goodness theres a list. That E in the middle column will get between me and my sleep!!!

2:03 pm

A fish!!!! Slapping self about the head & shoulders with a marlin!!!!

2:04 pm

lolol

2:04 pm

howdy again my babble friends;)

2:04 pm

was it the damned volcano?

2:05 pm

Nope. The ed** of reason.... Doh!

2:06 pm

aha!

2:06 pm

Hey Crossy. :-)

2:06 pm

howdy soodles;)

2:06 pm

some of these loch monster words are just plain stupid

2:08 pm

*Pours agitated Soodle a glass of wine*

2:08 pm

Nan. I went to Scotland on honeymoon. The visitor centre there is hilarious. More fake photos than Americas Next Top Model!!!

2:09 pm

Oooh Molls, could you peel me a grape? I

2:10 pm

why? Did they make the sky look blue?

2:12 pm

Lol. I got married on Oct 27th. So the honeymoon was early November. God bless me, I thought the rainbows I was seeing each day were "a sign".

2:12 pm

lmao

2:18 pm

I see Series 3 of Downton Abbey starts in the US tonight. Molly, have you the popcorn to hand?

2:24 pm

Hello? Series 3 started weeks ago. We are down to the last three episodes. Or two. Not sure.

2:25 pm

good afternoon, everyone!

2:25 pm

suze!!

2:25 pm

hi Sue!

2:25 pm

Okay, three more regular episodes and the Christmas special, or last episode since it has nothing to do with Christmas.

2:25 pm

Oh!! I've been misinformed. (Story of my life).

2:25 pm

hi crossy and hego! and molly and soodle!

2:26 pm

So hego, what's with your knee?

2:26 pm

Hey Suze. Hows Frank?

2:27 pm

Frank is doing really well this cycle, soodle! (so far anyway) *crosses fingers*

2:27 pm

tell him to keep up the good work, Sue.

2:28 pm

Will do!

2:28 pm

Hego, I've had both my knees replaced (at different times), so please feel free to ask me any questions...

2:28 pm

can anyone explain why there are only 7 n's in the list and 8 in the stats? --what is missing from the list?

2:28 pm

really, Sue!

2:29 pm

How was it?

2:29 pm

oh - missed hte na

2:29 pm

don't know Nan

2:29 pm

nm

2:29 pm

the rehab is no fun, hego, but very important

2:29 pm

There are 8 Ns in the stats.

2:30 pm

I know everyone says that.

2:30 pm

Scrabs told me to breathe!!

2:30 pm

1 na, 3 nes and 4 nos

2:30 pm

Alarm clock set to wake 30 mins earlier in the morning, to go to church to light candle for Hego. Second one will be lit for Frank.

2:30 pm

she's such a saint!

2:31 pm

they will work you hard to get range of motion - one trick I learned was to slide my lower leg off the edge of the bed and let gravity bend it - this was considerably easier than trying to use my muscles to bend it (while lying flat in bed)

2:31 pm

<--Feels lowly for only planning on lighting a candle at home

2:31 pm

Pssh. Probably mumbo jumbo, bur, sure, twill do no harm!

2:32 pm

I will accept all hints and tricks and candles lit anywhere!

2:32 pm

..but....

2:34 pm

How is it that you live right there, in the land of wee folk and faeries and you say lighting a candle is probably mumbo jumbo? Saints preserve us!

hello sue good to hear

2:34 pm

I think once good vibes are being sent, it doesn't matter a whit where they are being sent from.

and did you all see the "Of Downtown Abbey took place on FB " spoof?

2:34 pm

I agree Soodle

IF

2:35 pm

Molly!! Hello!! No lotto win......

2:35 pm

And with you saying things like that, there won't be. *Says a Novena for Soodle*

2:36 pm

Flagellating myself as I type....

2:36 pm

good trick.

2:37 pm

Eeek! She's one of those Opus Dei Catholics!

2:37 pm

sticks and stones may break my bones but whips and chains excite me eh soodles ?

2:37 pm

2:38 pm

2:41 pm

2:42 pm

2:42 pm

2:42 pm

2:43 pm

2:43 pm

actually now that i count back,the kitten is 11 months old and his birthday is feb 14th when he will be one whole year old!

2:44 pm

ooh, a Valentine's kitty!

2:44 pm

that's one of them - ty lynxxx

2:44 pm

hi, lynxxx!

2:44 pm

howdy lynxx

2:44 pm

Hi Lyn

2:44 pm

yw Nan - there is more than one Marquis

2:44 pm

Crossy, he is gorgeous.

2:45 pm

I love the fact that he has a "leash of shame" my youngest are 6 years old but I may consider in investing in 3 leashes

2:45 pm

Hi Lynxxx

2:46 pm

got them all, ty

2:46 pm

it works well katie.the kitten(amos) is as alpha as it comes and terrorizes the other 2 cats,but when you put the leash on him he goes from alpha death machine to a furry dangle toy for the other cats to chase around the house

2:46 pm

hi katie! I should probably invest in a couple of leashes myself :-)

2:47 pm

Hi Sue, glad to hear Frank is doing OK

2:47 pm

last pic i have of him is on my fb wall of him sticking his tongue out at us

2:49 pm

Oh after that description I'm definitely getting one and then whoever starts the fight will get put on it

2:50 pm

you can see him on my jan 10th post on my fb wall

2:50 pm

it is a easy way to defuse any cat fights

2:50 pm

pi 6/27, please?

2:50 pm

so do you tie tether the cat to something or is dragging the leash around enough to 'shame' them

2:51 pm

no,he just drags it aaround,but make sure you use a harness to clip it to and not right to a collar for safety reasons

2:51 pm

pi6/27 city bird

4:07 pm

Lickety has me quite spoiled

4:07 pm

there cannot be that many f and p words;((

what do you have? I have them all

4:12 pm

4:12 pm

as8/45, da8/60, de8/50, de8/60

4:18 pm

Bye for now peri :)

4:18 pm

A positive in your financials

4:19 pm

lol,it has never come up:)

4:19 pm

Thank you Molly :)

4:20 pm

Yeah, mine would be de+as5...lol

4:21 pm

good thing about being in that bracket,smores,is that any little bump in cashflow no matter how small will feel like a lottery win

4:23 pm

:)

4:23 pm

like one time we had a good old time of it and bout name brand food items instead of the no name store brands..was like a party:))

4:23 pm

bought

4:24 pm

think we even super sized the fries one that week;)

4:24 pm

lol...been there, done that crossy :)

4:24 pm

once

4:24 pm

<---actually prefers Kroger brand :)

4:24 pm

does not eisist here in the gwt

4:25 pm

exist

4:25 pm

i cannot type today:( well,i cannot type most days

4:26 pm

np, I can decipher crossy

4:26 pm

all is well then:))

4:29 pm

slow going.96 left and creeping along

4:30 pm

same here

4:33 pm

Life without LIckety is tough. I have always suspected that more than half the people who finished the 744 grid would not have done so without Lickety's list.

4:34 pm

most more than likely

4:34 pm

I know I wouldn't, probably would've finished with it :)

4:34 pm

* would'nt have

4:36 pm

744 words is a LOT of words to find. Even with Lickety. And I'm talking about us normal people. Not the ones who sail through grids in 15 minutes.

4:37 pm

I would be happy to get 1/2, don't think I could do one that large.

4:37 pm

whenever i am feeling smug with a fast finish on a grid,i go and watch the flip for a bit and then i am ok

4:37 pm

Struggled to finish some of the high 300 ones recently.

4:38 pm

I would have to be in front of the computer for the whole day to solve one that big and I do have a life to lead.

4:38 pm

nothing like watching someone at the flip do a 200 word grid in 18 minutes to put things inperspective

4:38 pm

I know :)

4:39 pm

The day that 744 was up, the dedicated (obsessed?) were making comments about how they had to cancel their plans for the day. I'm serious.

4:40 pm

i think i crapped out around the 480-500 mark

4:40 pm

lol...

4:40 pm

"Sorry, I can't come in today, very large grid"

4:41 pm

Sorry kids, no meals today, large grid.

4:41 pm

:)

4:41 pm

that's what hot dogs were made for

4:41 pm

No we can't go to the movies, I have 300 words left

4:47 pm

I used to like big grids but now .... ugh.

4:47 pm

150-250 is now my preferred range

4:49 pm

me too

4:49 pm

I think the bigger grids appeal to people with a lot of free time.

4:49 pm

this is a nice size....with lickety :)

4:50 pm

whats the 10 please? stats only :)

4:50 pm

se10/77

4:51 pm

What? You didn't get that from the Flippers?

4:51 pm

Well, guess I should go fed my kids. Be back later.

4:52 pm

oh i just got nbt then signed off. i donjt stay on for long anymore.. usually 15 mins after flip im done

4:54 pm

clue please?

4:56 pm

A state of calm

Hi all :) Back to attempt the last 81.

107 here - no chance!

5:55 pm

No I don't really think I have a chance either but I think I may resort to Dee's list now!

5:55 pm

ack there's no lickety today?

5:56 pm

No - volleydeemom and I think Molly both have lists in their profiles!

5:56 pm

I've become dependent on expert to get me through the final bunch

It's 11:55 pm here, I turn into a pumpkin in 5 minutes

5:56 pm

Me too.

5:56 pm

Sleep well, ChrissieDee :)

5:56 pm

5:57 pm

No - O cam

5:57 pm

5:57 pm

No, I can't. Why do you say that?

5:57 pm

I thought your "me too" was to Harry about Expert.

5:58 pm

I'm confused! I'm paid up, so get stats etc but I copy words into lickety!

5:58 pm

Me too - dependent on list!

5:59 pm

6:09 pm

88 to go here and grinding away

6:09 pm

6:10 pm

6:10 pm

Lickety takes some days off so if you still see the clues from yesterday's grid, that's why.

6:11 pm

keeps us on our toes;)

6:11 pm

Oh, ok! I wanted to make sure it wasn't just me, or something wrong with my computer!

6:11 pm

nope,we are all in the same boat

6:13 pm

What does the 10 start with please.

6:13 pm

Thanks Cross!

Angelsong, I am so sorry. You and your family are in my prayers.

7:34 pm

109 yards in 11 seconds. Well the game is a wash, but Baltimore is making history.

7:35 pm

Wow

7:36 pm

(((((Angel))))) so sorry to hear of your loss! You and your family are in my thoughts.

7:37 pm

Poor Ru, he must be crying in his wine.

Sincere condolences Angelsong. Glad it was a peaceful passing. I will remember you and your family in my prayers.

7:45 pm

Now half the stadium has no power. This game just keeps getting weirder and weirder.

7:45 pm

elbee, could you message me via FB? I wanted to ask you something

7:45 pm

WTG Dawg !!!

7:45 pm

Congrats, lbdawger!!!!

7:47 pm

hi, swmbo!

Hello all! Not doing so well with this grid and it is nearly bedtime for me. Oh well...

7:51 pm

sure swmbo on my way now.

7:52 pm

Massive beer runs are taking place all across the country.

7:53 pm

Beer! I have beer in the fridge! Thanks, Molly!

8:00 pm

<--Never forgets there is beer in the fridge. The jokes are already flying that some angry 49ers fan cut a power line. : D

8:01 pm

Back with Smuttynose Robust Porter. Yum!

8:03 pm

Smuttynose? Ew, think of where that's been. : O

8:04 pm

Still, it's pretty tasty :-)

8:04 pm

This is a serious loss of momentum for those football players.

8:04 pm

Figures. I got bored with the game and switched to the tudors then when I switched back the lights had just come back on. i missed it!

8:06 pm

I missed the Janet Jackson fiasco doing the same thing.

8:06 pm

Figet : P

8:07 pm

lol yeahhhh

8:07 pm

funny twitter: this time its the rich people who are trapped in the superdome

8:11 pm

I'm surprised there wasn't panic. Stadiums full of people are prime targets for terrorists.

8:19 pm

Well, I think it helped that no one was actually in the dark.

8:24 pm

*Imagines Cos multi-tasking. Watching the game, watching The Tudors, checking Twitter, checking Babble...whew! I'm tired just thinking about it. : D

8:25 pm

he's on facebook too :-)

8:26 pm

lol yep im such a fidget :)

8:30 pm

Hello cosdem! How are you?Is that picture from your recent babble meet? Hope you guys had a great time.

8:30 pm

hi min!

8:31 pm

Hi there uusue2!How are you and Frank doing today?

8:32 pm

We are good, min! Frank is doing better during this chemo cycle (his 4th) than he did during the first 3, probably because he is mostly healed from the surgery now.

8:36 pm

** finito ** last word DA 5/14

8:37 pm

8:37 pm

Congratulations wvteach on fireworks! Good for you

8:41 pm

Looks like the power outage killed The Ravens steam roll.

8:42 pm

certainly seems to have!

8:48 pm

I can see the headlines now, "Power outage creates power surge for the 49ers"

8:52 pm

Could I please have a clue for any of the 8's and the 10?

8:53 pm

a lot of them (including the 10) end in the Loch **** monster

8:53 pm

Thanks, sue...that will help.

9:19 pm

Just saw a cute meme with that guy from Airplane! who pulled the plug.. and implied he was responsible for the black out

9:19 pm

pretty funny, cos!

9:19 pm

hi, all. I am so worn out and in shock. My eldest brother passed away this afternoon. My parents, my middle brother and a family friend were at the hospital with him and my brother and I held his hands and comforted him as he passed. He had been sick for a long time, with emphysema, and he had double pneumonia when my parents took him to the hospital ten days ago; he was on a ventilator for a few days, then he improved a bit and the breathing tube was removed. The nurses called today to say he was back on the ventilator. I was in town doing some shopping when I got the call to come quickly to the hospital, so I went. We made the decision as a family to have the ventilator removed, because the doctor told us he would need to be on it for the rest of his life, and his organs had begun to fail due to the stress from his lungs, and he would not have any qulaity of life. My brother Ted and I were holdin his hands and comforting him when he passed, and his passing was peaceful; for that I am very grateful, and I am glad I was able to be with him at the end. I will miss him greatly, and I was so blessed to be his big sister.

9:20 pm

Condolences Angel :)

9:20 pm

((((angel)))) so sorry to hear of your brother's death. It is good that you were able to be with him. holding you and your family in my thoughts.

9:28 pm

Angelsong, Sincere condolences and prayers for comfort and peace to you and your family.

9:37 pm

So sorry, Angelsong...

9:41 pm

peace to your brother's spirit & to you and your family, angelsong.

9:42 pm

Well, so much for the Superbowl. Congratulations to the Ravens fans.

10:04 pm

bye liz

10:14 pm

you are not missing anyhing lizlin; I don't watch so don't really care who the winner/loser is

10:16 pm

I feel the exact same way mcurschool. I did not even know who was playing in the Superbowl 'til yesterday

10:18 pm

professional sports have gotten so out of control with player favoritism that it just isn't fun to watch anymore

10:20 pm

As an old-fashioned football fan I can understand that attitude, but there are actually some good, nice rookie players and it was a fun game to watch.

10:21 pm

now i am focused on this game

10:22 pm

nbt

10:22 pm

what does the 10 begin with

10:22 pm

se

10:22 pm

ty torgie

10:26 pm

Has anybody heard from Lickety?

10:27 pm

Or about?

10:30 pm

lickety often takes a day off. . .

10:35 pm

He probably took today off because of Superbowl. Is the Superbowl a big deal in England?

10:37 pm

I believe he lives in Australia min so I doubt that was it

10:38 pm

why do I have to sign up for something to respond in Babblers anonymous?

10:51 pm

Because you have to be a Yuku member to post there.

10:52 pm

well I guess I will post here where I am already a member.

10:53 pm

Just my opinion, but I don't think that inane rambling merits a response.

10:54 pm

I have the copy of the email I se** JC after I read what he wrote to Soodle for "leaking" NB de***. . . not to mention all the other factual in accuracies. . .

10:54 pm

you are probably right molls. . . maybe I am just in a cranky mood. . .

10:55 pm

I know exactly where it is in chat that JC ripped Soodle a new one for that. It's all documented and any claims that those things are false are just guilt talking.

10:56 pm

I mean seriously, JC not all of us was the victim of a cruel hoax. Right.

10:56 pm

thanks for clarifying that for me molls. . . my hands are shaking because I am angry about something else and then was stupid enough to read that. . .

10:58 pm

i have always tried to be polite, to get along with people whether I agreed with them or not and I founded my organization really on that very principle. . . that if we choose to we can get along. . .

10:58 pm

I fully expected a long, sanctimonious response to what has been discussed here. Best case scenario would be for all those people involved in this lie fest to just go away.

10:58 pm

Where does the time go? Already midnight. Gotta go!

10:58 pm

I leave you with a story in profile.Goodnight babblers

10:59 pm

*pulls out hanky and dries eyes*

10:59 pm

Hoo, tough day JMC. Time for a Jack or two and some sleep.

11:01 pm

11:03 pm

I need to get some sleep JMC. But just for the record, I think as an attorney you know that the "it never happened, you all are imagining it" defense never flies. Hope you get some sleep and that tomorrow is a better day.

11:05 pm

I bought her a white cowboy hat with a feather trim and a "diamond tiara" which had blinking lights. . . it was perfect

very nice! did they dance or walk?

11:21 pm

she sashayed. . .

11:22 pm

the tiara was part of the hat. . . and I gave it to her right after the ceremony. .
