are you all rested from your vacation?
dee, were you here yesterday when i was talking about an amazing magpie.
lol, if i was any more rested i would be a puddle on the floor
missed the magpie... saw your story about noisy penguins :)
okay, will send you a sound file via email
have you already gone through all of your photos
{{{{{rose}}}}}
not yet. first day home was washing, the second day shopping(there was absolutely NO fresh food in the house). tomorrow is day3 home. maybe i'll get to sit down and go through the files then.
sounds like our household after a vacation
{{{{sarah}}}}} you are fantastic. you deserve a solid gold star, hun. i am so proud of you

woohooo, liz...you is fair dinkum now hun
:)
Certainly am! Now learning the lingo! Posted on facebook pic of UK and Aussie passports (the covers only obviously). Lots of likes from friends!!!
sarah, any of the girls or hubby got scarlet fever?
Sarah, are you using calamine or is that really old fashioned! It's what my mum used on us!
not yet only me
oh, dear. hope mum is within reach.your gonna be a busy little beaver in a few weeks.
when i called doctors yesterday and told them said it sound like scarlet fever and looked it up rash is like it
rose mum has no car at min :(
Gotta go! Wish you better, Sarah - very soon :) Hugs to you both :)

nbt nbs
lord, just putting sarah and her family before You.please hold them in Your tender hands, support them and grant them Your peace. amen
ty rose hugs
will send you email when get back from doctors app at 10.50
thanx sarah. what time is it now, over there?
it is 8.40
hmmm, maybe will be in bed by then. it's 20 to 8, in the evening. but i will hold you to yor promise of an email. will check in the AM.
i will send it as soon as i get home i hope he do something for me
i don't think there will be a lot he can prescribe for you. you just have to treat each symptom separately. pick up some paracetamol, and a lotion with tar in it on your way home from doctors.
look at treating the fever and the itch, my dear
doctor here is good if need something to put in bath will give me it
make sure you ask him, sweetheart.
i will :) i only just had paracetamol to for 2 weeks as had inf showing in my bloods
i'm sure your doctor will echo my words. the treatment is of the symptoms.
yeah he will i like this doctor he is nice not like other one they i will not see him
good on you, sarah. i too have had to change my doctor. as a nurse i am pretty cynical of doctors. my new doctor is very good. up-to-date with her knowledge. i have absolute confidence in her, so does don.
thats good this other do not like me think he disapp of my tattoo's as was ok with me until he did se them
oh, dear. someone who pre-judges....not a good sign. you were wise to change doctors.
i do wish i did not have as many tattoo's was going thought very bad time was my way of copeing
sarah, we must apologise to other users of babble chog. we have monopolised it.
sorry everyone xx
ditto, apologies to everyone.
rose i will email when i get home hugs xxxxxxxx
hugs to my darling sarah. xoxoxoxo

Good morning/evening :)
morning Smores
evening lynxxx :)
large grid today
suits me perfectly for a quiet Friday evening
your dog?
I unfortunately have a lot of errands to run so don't know if I'll finish.
Yes, that is Sequoia, she turned 13 yesterday
Hi all :)
Hey Liz :)
Happy Birthday Sequoia. Stew had a friend come over yesterday to share his birthday treat with Stew. I am ashamed to say I don't know Stews birthday - I wonder if he feels hard done by?
hi Liz
Hi Lyn and Smores. Perhaps you should decide on a date for Stew and make it his honorary birthday :)
Well, her being born on Valentines Day makes it easy to remember.
:) thats what Smoresette did for her cat Liz
Our dog was born on New Year's Day - or that's what we decided. He was a 4th birthday present for my brother!
Also an easy date to remember!
maybe but I would probably forget...ooops just remembered it is wedding anniversary in 6 days - bet I forget - but we both usually do
lol...lynxxx
I love my computer reminders of birthdays and anniversaries!
is that a program or do you sit down at the start of each year and fill up the calender?
I did it once - in hotmail. If I want to add or change things, I can at any time. I also put in reminders to send cards if I need to etc. It took a while to set up the first time, but it's brill now.
I also put in dates, so I knew when friends had things like 25th wedding anniversaries etc!
mmm I might see what I can find
The reminders come to me in e mail form!
In hotmail, you can set the number of recurrences of an event - it's probably the same in most programmes.
found it in Outlook - only problem is I need to set up the Contacts - one day when I am bored perhaps - that will be after I finish putting all those photos in to the 4 albums I bought about 6 years ago (I did finish 1)
:)
I have to admit i didn't do it through any list. i just went through month by month and added whatever event I wanted!
220 words down - word blindness has hit. I'll be back tomorrow. Enjoy the rest of the evening, Lyn. Have a good day smores :)
bye Liz
bye Smores if you are still around

hi ruby
Hi ruby :)
Well, that is for K-12. The colleges all take Spring break whenever it works for them.
I just got a call from "ouir" IRS agent and he was very nice
yeap....ours is just about 1/2 way through term
Thats good to hear ruby
our university has it at the same time as public schools
I told him how far I had gotten, what was stillmissing and that I would get it in the mail in two packages. He was very agreeable
Actually, the colleges stagger their Spring breaks so all the wild kids don't hit Daytona at once. : )
Unfortunately, he is probably not the one who decides the disposition of our situation....
Wonderful news, I'm sure you are relieved
Well, maybe he has some imput
I feel much better about it
And I'm sure any positive input will be helpful.

sad about your furnace. Will be there tomorrow 9-5.
the boxes are back
oops hiccups with the BAbble server. sorry.
I finally went out to do a couple of quick errands, and of course they called and said he was 5 minutes away!!! He fiddled with it, thought he had fixed the problem, but it still isn't right. I have called them again.
ugh...more red boxes... I am good car.ee celebrating my first day of reading week with hugely indulgent breakie ( steak eggs mushrooms all fried in butter with coffee topped with irish cream...what the hell)
Go for it!
i am... as i type :)
( and was AALL on sale...yeah!!!)

yeap... i keep getting booted
It is probably my fault...I really shouldn't be here babbling.

I am behind in my work and I need to clean before the cleaning lady gets here!
LOL
Stats please for the lower right N?

:)
good morning everyone:)
( BF introduced me to steak and eggs last week...had never had before...yummmmm )
That meteor over Moscow was weird, eh?
<---swipes a bite while carlee isn't looking :)
yes, very odd
yeap..was...but cool too...
Crossy!!!!
go for it smores... :)
Morning crossy :)
hi crossy :)
mmmm
Exactly. Weird, cool and scary all at the same time. Did they not know that one was going to be so close? Were they too busy looking at the other one?
That was the scary part to me, that they didn't expect it.
who knows... makes for an intersting news day tho..instead of the politiccs rubbish that drones on and on
and on, and on, and on.....
TY for the N's!
yw :)
Also need the stats for the bottom row left E please?
NM! Just got them!
good, 'cause I stink at trying to figure which comes from which :)
and now it is time for crossy's tidbit of the day!!!
bring it on crossy :)
Exocannibals eat outsiders as a means of intimidation. Endocannibals eat members of their own kinship groups.
ep 4/6 and ep 5/14
How could you ever sleep at night if you knew one of your own people may eat you?!?!?
lol...that is crazy
Good morning, all. Gives whole new meaning to , "we're having family over for dinner tonight".
division amongt cannibals....I don't want to be anywhere near either :)
lol....Judi, HI
easy...you burp after eating the suspected intruder for dinner
LOL! Good morning Judi!
Today was 80
What was 80 car?
Sorry! Trying again....Today is 80's day in Zach's class. I sent him to school with a Flock of Seagulls hairdo!
haha...nice
so..chubber checker is sueing hewlett packard for 500 mil
Mornin' folks
Give me a few and I will put the pic in my flickr account.....
Big spikey hair, if I remember Flock of Seagulls correctly.
Hi bichon
morning bichon
Sueing over what carlee?
an app called "the chubby checker" insert man's shoe size.. get measurement of his.... ummmm... anatomy ;)
third column E stats please?
Oh dear. That is tasteless. I think Chubby Checker has a case.
er 4/4
there are more things in this world to be worried about... I would think a man of his... "importance" in the musical world... would be "big enough to just say.. "whatever" and move on to something more important and free up the court system for things that really matter
Really??? that is awful, I hope he wins
his getting involved just made it even "bigger" than it needs to be
tybabble
True, but I can understand why having his name attatched to something like that would upset him
stats for the corner N please?
nu4/5,nu6/24
someone didnt do their fact checking
ty smores
nbt
yw :)
i guess i see so much waste in legal system I see from a different perspective
on what Annie ?
It is taking its sweet time downloading...
Hello everyone that came in while I was gone!!!!!
checking the name out
hi smores, car, Annie, MLF
Ahhh..
stats for any 8 please?
hi bichon, I hope you are completely dug out
Agree carlee, whyyyy too sueing goes on and time money wasted. But I do see his point, it's bad enough using his name on a product/app with his endorsement and/or permission, but an app like that....
We are dug out, but roads remain barely passable.
*without
i am really liking this grid
<burp> yummy breakie :)
op8/50, op8/45 (pl of 9)

hi, all. had a bittersweet birthday yesterday, and I got some wonderful memories as gifts.
op7/8
bye mlf
I have an or8/55
Or8.
Bye for now MLF :)
OK...I think I changed it to my icon pic. I am having a lot of trouble with flickr as well as babble.
cute car
lol...nice
I sent his teacher and email that said to keep all open flames away from his head.
LOL
I have a silly question (new player)....I found two words - both in dictionary that babble does not accept- yet last night people were clueing them . ur7 and qu5. Does that ever happen to anyone? Thank you!!
all the time....
??
Yes, Joan. Happens all the time. Maddening, isn't it?
Ty - so how can you finish?
finding words that enable doesn't accept happens all the time....but people cluing them???
might have been a spelling variance
Can I give you an example?
yes, im curious
Apnea / Apnoea.
In this grid?
There are others. That's the first one that came to mind.
miter/mitre
Ur7 was referred to as a funny name for an Arnold S action movie..... and qu5 was clued as a disease from the early 1900's. Found both but not accepted
That word is not in this grid. Just an example for Joan. There are Latin variations, as well as Italian, Greek, etc. Many of them antiquated. REALLY antiquated.
OK...got it into flickr.
Now I have to go. Bye!!!
It was ur8 and if you look at the chat, the person said "I want ur8...but I guess it's not a word"
{{[car.ee}} have a good day hun!
Bye car. enjoy your day :)
bye car., have a good day today
There are 2 qu5s in the grid, one of them pretty weird.
qu 5/16 is weird?
yes, that last qu 5 is a weird one -- the 5/18
the first qu 5/15?
::tap dances into chog:: mornin babblers!
don't have that one
Hi, Eva!
There is one qu5/16
then there's 3 qu5
Nope 2, sorry, can't count.
because I have 2 qu5/16
hint for the third
yes, there are 3 qu 5
There is no ur 7 in this grid
Sounds like Babble player who lives in New Haven
that was yesterday BR
the second letter of qu 5 is the only vowel
ty Molly
Hi Eva :)
the archive for yesterday shows one u word a us 4/5

hi and bye, smores!
Hi and bye Sue :)
Thanks for clearing that up BR
Sorry for the confusion.....guess I should continue to play quietly!!
hi, joan, confusion is sometimes rampant in the chat, I wouldn't worry about it :-)
I play in a constant state of confusion -- I find that it helps.
joan - don't ever worry about confusion, it is par for the game
sn
lol. jen!
hello sue
So true, Joan. I thought I lived in Delaware until I started playing Babble. Now I live in a state of confusion.
:o)
Hello, tceicher .... how's your onion?
Just to be different .... flummoxed for me it the status quo.
So enjoying the chog, but I suppose I must work today. See you all later!

Hi Nef and Nan
How are you on this cold clear day?
I am in California, where it is clear, but likely not as cold as where you are, Nef
It's a beautiful day here; but it is cold (and I'm glad I don't have to be outside too long this AM).
I've only been here a few minutes but have nearly 100 words; I can't see any of the 8's or the 9 yet though.
gooooooooooooooooooood afternoon fellow babblers xxx
good day, worzel
g'day cobber!!! lol xxx
or8=without both parents
thanks, movieman!
yvw nef
don't have all the 8's either and I started the day with 149 to go
hi all! Lots of words today. I love grids like this! (Perfect for Friday!)
I always find that the days of the large grids are my busiest dasy. Usually I don't start large grids; but I kind of missed the size this AM when I started.
i rarely finish large ones... but at least i have something to come back to during small breaks
there was an at 7 and 8 called last night ... does anyone have a clue?
all three ATs come from nightshade
There's an op 7-8 combo and a or 7-8 combo
just monkeyed them *happy dance*
Or rather the op is a 5-6-7-8 combo and the or is a 6-7-8 combo
thanks Erda!

my brain usually is a sieve with new words
aloy, not quite, we are hooked up to the power plant with temporary transformers
Just a note: For some people, Smores icon has changed.
howdy Nef, good here, hope all is well with you too..
cheers, Molls, it is Friday and 5 o'clock somewhere3 :)

ooch, I missed that huge ole rh5, can see it charging on the veldt

kinda druggy, MLF.. ends in a kind of evergreen tree
thinking alike, nan (-:

they all relate to a poison from the nightshade family; also, the medical use dries uporal fluids for surgery

i have op 8/9
The other is op7/8. Same four beginning then the word for also or too.
i thoughti was in here by myself i apologize smithchick
Could you clue the or8?
Never mind. Just got it.
No problem. I usually get absorbed and don't check the chatterbox much.
i am still not getting it
The op7/8 combo? It's the same first five letters of the other op8 word then a couple of consonants... The last of the word is the word for also or too and then the plural.
ty got it
No problem. I've got 76 left and I'm about to resort to the list.
I'm still missing one 8.
<sneaking back in between house work chores> Hi again

hi sprite. How are you today?
ty Nef
ursh, sorry to hear the news from Soth Africa
and hi ursh. Your clue was better than mine!
hi Nef. Am very tired, but feeling a lot better than yesterday. We finally managed to get through to our son and had a good talk with him.
hi ursh
oh, good!
bichon - very tragic - one young life lost and one young life ruined
hi ursh
and medusa
hi sprite
morning everyone
hi lyn :) xxx A very good morning to you.
Sad news Ursh.
monin' lyn
hi lynxxx, Molly, and whoever is lurking out there! ;-)
hi lyn
hi Molly. Son has seen reason and had to admit he had no right to demand to be given everything... that he has to earn it. Big step forward.
i have not heard what happened but it dont sound good
medusa - our famous paralympian "the blade runner" apparantly shot dead his girlfriend during an argument in the early hours yesterday
sprite; that's a big step. Unfortunately, he'll need frequent reminders.....
thats terrible! I am so sorry to hear that
peace for a little while then Sprite, seems like you might have a few of these episodes for a while yet
hehehe indeed Nef. Just wrote exactly that to Mimicat... 'repeat, repeat... practice makes perfect'!
I was so hoping they would find it an accidental shooting.
I think so too, lyn. But this is the very first time he actually admitted that we are his parents and as such have a say over him. So at least we have a common ground now. Thanks for caring, all. :)
Oh ursh. It was during an argument? Some of the media here were saying it was possibly a mistake; that she was trying to surprise him and he thought she was a burgler.
oh ursh, how horrible!
Bea - the police opposed bail and charged him with murder
Hi everyone. Ursh, after the meteor story, the sad tale from SA is top news here.
hi Soodle
so very sad
hi soodle
I knew they would charge him with murder when I heard neighbors say they had been arguing before the gunshots.
It is just such a shame.
My heart aches for his mother.
Its very sad , all the locals I saw interviewed were really dissillusioned..not angry just sad. And the young womean, beautiful and caring with what appeared to be a great future in front of her
lot of speculation - but still a great waste - i now wonder if he will be found to have been using steroids which cause aggression and violent behaviour - just feel for the two families
I hadn't thought of that Ursh - maybe.
is it just me,or is babble real slow at adding words today? from the time i type in a word till the time it pops up is around 15 seconds:(
interesting comment made earlier at a family dinner that top sportsmen have a built in need to "win at all costs" especially in individual sports - did make me think given the Lance Armstrong saga
hiya crossy, that is often the case with big grids. Especially when you are over 2/3.
Is anyone else getting red boxes?
hi hootowl, so far all is well here
red boxes off and on all day!
I had a feeling! Comcast again tx!
Don't forget Tiger Woods, Ursh.
how does an Aussie chase away someone? Shooee!
Just had a lot of red boxes down here too
lance was my hero..crossy is sad.we shared and survived the same cancer and he was the poster athlete for the cause
I am sure the same thing is happening with the Blade Runner too
I come from Prefontaine town myself, and he was a known partier and drug user.
Our heroes are all humans
Hello again all :)
howdy smores
even if someone who inspires you isn't as wonderful as we thought, we can still cherish the inspiration.
hiya smores
hi Smores
so true sprite :)
and hi Wyrd
indeed,sprite,he helped raise a truckload of cash for cancer research
hi sprite :)
in the end we all have feet of clay
very true sprite
So what if he used steriods, he has still done a lot of good and is a caring and compassionate human being.
of course you are correct.my past is not totaly free of chemical experimentation either:)
well I agree with everything after that first bit.
*grins at crossy*
mine either :)
i stick to the natural stuff
like cannabis? ;)
of course :)
I didn't mean it was okay that he used them, just that his using them shouldn't take away from every thing he has done.
problem is,now just when mary jane is becoming legal in many areas,it is too late.these days for crossy sometimes even using good old fresh air can be an adventure!
:)
I knew you meant that, smores. Exactly.
crossy, it just stinks to be an overdue flower power child ;)
hello all, back to find 75 words
think if i tried cannabis again after all this time,my lungs would simply explode
lol
Hi peri :)
hehe,the 70,s were good to crossy..what i remember of them
hi pe4
as an older person, im glad i have it to use crossy, its like reading a really good book again
Hi Peri
need help with u words pls. I have 3 un and 4 ur
my artritis and bursitis and sciatica would love some i am sure
:) Wyrd
;)
I don't have that many, but I do have UL x 3
ul5 x 3 and ul4
ty sprite, will look
There are 4 ul words, Peri.
i am paying the price for 30 years working out in all conditions and temperatures
mine loves it crossy, and my IBS, and all those old people aches and pains.
rats, 4 ul words. ok, looking
They all relate to the arm bone.
I found 3 of them. ty
is there one with an odd spelling?
ty for the 3 ul,s
also have 3 arm thingies
A ul5/14
all 4 have same 1st 4 letters
TY Bzzn
ty found it
bottom row and right column gray!!
:)
thanks Bea
w
That is yw.
:)
name that proper noun: famous brand pocket knife
total blank here - all I can think of is swiss army
opinel
Me too Lynn. I was looking for a W!!
maybe that is famous in Europe but didn't make it down to the colonies
:) If you google them, images, you can see them. They are famous for their smart mechanism.
then again I am not an outdoorsy type
wiki says: he Opinel knife was invented by Joseph Opinel in 1890 in Savoie as a simple working man's or peasant's knife. So it is French in origin.
I was just thinking a few days ago, Lynn. The iPhone is the new Swiss Army Knife. It has everything a person could need. (Except for the gadget for removing stones from horses hooves).
however that knife name did help me find 7 & 8s
...how does an iPhone open a bottle of wine?
ah good, lyn. Now I will try and follow your example
I'm sure theres an app for that Spritey!! ;-)
I know Soodle...was listening to a show last night and they that the smart phone will soon replace a lot of things we use on a day to day basis. I must get a phone.
*giggles*
6 op words start with a type of song
Mine has replaced my watch and alarm clock
I slept through the alarm of my cell phone this morning. But then again, I don't own an iPhone. Nor a smart phone.
I just don't want to be one of those people who can't do anything without a phone hanging off their ear or staring at them constantly! texting while riding bikes. Walking the dog. Pushing the pram. Driving the car. Crossing the road in heavy traffic. In the movies. Drives me nuts
same here. I still like to go places where I cannot be reached :)
I agree lynxxx, some people are way out of control with them
My iPhone can sing, dance, do somersaults, you name it! Its still dreadful at making/taking calls...
I do have a smart phone, but I am not lost without it
LOL Soodle!
lol Soodle
<--Not a smart phone person
<-- not even always a smart person
Hey Molly. :-)
But at least youre a smart person :)
Lol Sprite.
lol...sprite
yes you are
I don't know how people leave the house without 8 pounds of gadgets with them. What with the smart phones and the readers and the notebooks and pads of this and that nature.
keys. Car papers. Check. off I go.
Phone is the only gadget I take everywhere
hello
Probably wouldn't do that if not for my girls
on a side note, I found Annie and Winnie.
Hi invictus :)
hi Invictus
hello invictus
Annie & Winnie?
All I take with me is my keys, wallet, and phone...a regular phone, not a touch-screen mini-computer thing.
I don't follow sprite ?
I take my phone when I leave the house for safety
<---guilty as charged!! MUST have my gadgets with me at all times. I'm like a cowboy without a horse without my gadgets.
yep. They are both in the grid.
:)
reasons. But I rarely answer it when I'm out and about.
Annie, red curls, sings songs for daddy warbucks. Winnie, luvs hunny.
The bear and the parentless cartoon girl.
got it sprite :)
exactly
:D
BBL we are 'enjoying' run of very hot days here so need to walk Stew early
Well, big grid and may not finish, but diving in anyway as I need a stress break. Hello all *happy Friday dance*
Bea, I'm the same way about my cell phone. It's for safety but not for endless gabbing or gaming.
hiya Jjill!
Hey Jilly
Arghhh My Ears!!! 'Tomorrow' is already an earworm. Thank you Sprite!!!!! (Not). :-)
Belly up to the bar Jill, the gin is going.
I still own a cell phone that does not have any games. And since my son managed to run up huge bills with his cell phone, he now has an even older model that does not connect to internet at all.
sowwy soodle!
I do like being able to check my emails or play a game when stuck waiting somewhere.
((((Jilly)))))
Maybe you can replace that with Never Fully Dressed Without A Smile, Soodle. : P
((soodle)) how are ye?
Top of the pops Jilly!! And you?
I haven't switched my email to my phone. I want a big screen to read email.
What DID people do while waiting before cell phones?
My smart phone is my lifeline...
read outdated magazines
Did I ever tell you guys about my magic phone?
Soodle, just very happy it is Friday, rough day and now have a ski retreat to run for next two days.
No soodle, do tell
Lifeline to what?
I wanna hear about da magic phone
*Pulls chair up to the fire for Soodle's story*
<---stokes fire while waiting for Soodle to get off the phone :)
pe5/12?
lol
It takes her a while to uncork the next bottle of wine.
like the things you use to steer a horse.
*holds out glass for wine*
poor soodle is typing like mad to tell us her story
:)
oh, Bea, sorry, that was a clue for you at 4.02 pm
Thanks, sprite. Looking...
More likely that her tiny attention span has been captured by something else.
I had a contract phone with a big telecommunications provider here for years. When my domestic arrangements changed(euphamism for me being broke), I called them & said I no longer wanted a bill, & could I revert back to pay as you go. Ok they said. I topped up my phone about twice, and noticed that I seemed to be getting great mileage out of a tenner's worth of credit. I checked my balance. It was zero. I attempted to make a call, it went through, and from that day to this, I've never topped up with credit, never got a bill, and my phone continues to make calls!! Magic!!
oh wow Soodle! You have fallen in between the bits and bytes!
It is magic!
I'll have that glass of wine now, please....
*pours Soodle a glass of wine*
Wow Soodle, that's wonderful
I speak to RubyFoo frequently, courtesy of the magic phone!
oh great
oh great
My Dad is convinced I'll end up behind bars......
I swear to God I'll tell them I have never heard of you when they come after you with a bill for ten thousand dollars.
<---nobody here knows anything about soodles magic phone
Bzzing off for a bit...
Who's Soodle?
bye Bea!
soodle who?
Later bea!
Bye for now Bea :)
Well, if (when) they come after me, I'll ditch the phone!! I have been on their website, and according to it, no calls have been made. Angelic fluttering of eyelashes....
make screenshots from that, soodle :)
:)
Good idea Sprite. Will do!!
I truly appreciate my magic phone, and never use it to call those expensive premium lines, but its a Godsend for me keeping in touch with Son of Soodle in the UK.
expensive premium lines? 1800cabanaboys ?
And all the money you save on the *cough* Talk To Me lines.
I love it, Soodle
Psstt, Smores the sex lines are 1-900 and not in Ireland.
Psstt, Smores the sex lines are 1-900 and not in Ireland.
Is anyone experienced red box warnings?
I am.
yes, lots of them, Jjill.
Who poured gin in the server line?
lol...and how do you know that Miss Molly?
not now but was this morning Jilly
Sheesh...finally...nbt/nbs
Don't look at me, I am not the gin swiller here.
wtg Jjill!
Sure, mention gin when I'm on...are you accusing me of trying to get the chog drunk?
well done Jilly
I was refering to the 900#'s Molly :)
LOL...was stuck on both the bottom corner o and the 9...problem solved with one word for both!
Sorry, major delay on chat
have to love and leave you guys. *hugs* and see you again soon.
*Wonders how you get a 1-900 number dialing 1-800. Must be another magic phone trick.*
yup...red boxes everywhere
*Bangs wrench on the server*
Bye sprite...enjoy your evening :)
See you later sprite!
:)
Well, I must go also, have to get dinner started. BBL :)
SEe you later smores!
Coffee is not stimulating me...heading out for quick nap.
I see I need to change my icon as well...
Molly. Check your inbox
Jily, if coffee's not doing it for you , try gin!
Nothing in my inbox, are you fake emailing me again?
LOL...that's ALL I need, would be down in 5 minutes flat...
bbl...*poof*
Jill power naps in between bottles of gin.
Power napping between bottles of gin is a perfectly acceptable form of self revival!
Ghostly non emails from Soodle to Molls. Call in the Men In Black.., Actually, my fault. Have another look Molly.
This is like drunk dialing, right?
Well, no, actually. Forget it.
And fireworks for me.
Well done Zooz.
Thanks , Soodlebum.

Thanks Molly and bich - can't beleive I didn't see that.
Hi Peri
I am eating dinner while babbling. Hubby is reading paper. How romantic
Comfort in each other's company - no need to talk :):)
s
I had a lovely dinner with hubby last night for combined Valentines/hubby's birthday..still full
what did you have for dinner, Jilly?
Still full from last night's dinner??
Yes...or maybe it's just satisfied...LOL keep thinking about that half of the steak I brought home...but it's Friday and Lent.. :( no meat
Do only Catholics give up meat for Lent?
That reminds me of a stand up comedy bit I heard a while ago about how women never eat all their food when they go out to eat.
Only some Catholics Bich.
No, I meant Protestants.
No, Protestants have more sense than that. : D
Some Catholics observe meat free Fridays all year, us others just Ash Wednesday, Fridays of Lent and Good Friday
lol
Restaurant fines diners who leave food on plates
Actually Episcopalians and some Lutherans also observe the Lenten restrictions
http://tinyurl.com/cyhfuxg
LOL BR, no problem with that, it either goes in my tummy or take home
That might be why my hubby is a Lapsed Lutheran
I think it is a choice, not a requirement
Not being judgmental, Jilly ... like the resident finger pointer
On the other hand, I never raised my kids to 'clean their plates' like I was raised. Think it is why I fight weight problems
But I just cruised your link, I can see their point.

Hi welki and blueheron
Oh, I see no one has been here in 30 min.
hello scrabbler - just came back after dinner
Hi wv
Hi Scrabbs. I've just signed back in to see if anyone wants clues. How are you and your bunnies?
Hello wvteach, also.
Hi Jacula. The 4 bunnies are well and adorable.
Glad to hear it, Scrabbs. We have no bunnies or g/pigs left now. Just got the one cat.
Much easier than what you used to have to do.
Scrabbs- Indeed it is! I would like 'house' g/pigs again one day (they're much more fun and interactive if the cage is in the house) but it's not possible with our cat.
Maybe someday you will have guinea pigs again, Jacula.
Maybe, Scrabbs. And a dog or dogs, too. It's been a very long time since my old dog died but I finally feel ready to have dogs again now. Not practical or poss. at present though.
hello
5th column O i have od4/5 and od 5/12 what am i missing?
oa4
I'm assuming Jillyjill is long gone from the chog now? I saw her post about not being able to remember 'the Welsh word without any vowels'. It's 'crwth', an old musical instrument. Thing is 'w' IS a vowel sound in Welsh ('oo' as in yahoo).
Hi MLF.
hHi Jacula
ty scrabbler got it
od5-12 the 1st please......thanks
third column i in 6/18 and ir 4/5 what am i missing?
gap - od5.12 is often the name of a cinema/movie theater. Od + period of time.
MLF - in6/18 = in + celestial body.
i have that one .. i am not looking at the list i am on the babble page
MLF - you're missing ir5.12.
ir5/12
ty jac
MLF - I realised after that you were stating what you had got. Sorry!
no problem jac:)
can you clue the ir 5/12 please?
Thanks much, Jac. I should know this one od5-12.....still looking.
od + long, long period of time
MLF - ir5.12 is a decree a Muslim ruler makes. i + a word that sounds like what police do when they swoop on a property or planes did in the war.
ir + drink made from lemons = lemon***
ir + summer drink from lemon
ty bzzz and scrabbler
I love the different ways we all clue the same word.
Yes, it is fascinating
does anyone have all the 8s?
Thanks so much, Jacula and Scrabbler.
I have no 8s nor the 9.
MLF - I do because I've finished the grid.
op8 and 9
lucky you jac good job
i have the op wordsthe or word and the 2 at words what am i missing?
brb
do8/45 - those who give.
do7 and 8
scrabbler op 8/9
That clue was for MLF, btw.
ty got both
I found op8, looking for the others now
Nope, I found do8,not the others yet
dont worry i am not that close ot being finished i am just filling in a few
I aim to pass halfway
Scrabbs - as a medical person you can probably get 2 x at8/45s - nightshade extract chiefly used to dilate the pupils of the eyes.
i have qu5/16 6/27 4/7 and 5/16 what am i missing?
OK, I have at8 x 1
qu5/18
And at8 #2
Scrabbs - I knew you'd know them. x
bzz can you clue it please?
qu + 3 consonants
qu5/18 is a coin from Saudi Arabia.
Good evening everyone! TY For the excellent clues!
Hello car.
got it
Well done, MLF!
Hi dan2bit, btw.
Hey peach, buzz, dan, car...
Hello Scrabs!
When did you return to your home, car?
I think Monday...but it may have been Tuesday...it is all a blur to me.
Was it fun for your boys?
Honestly....we were all glad to be home. One night we spent apart :(
A lesson in resilience for your boys
I guess....it was very stressful.
How are you?!? How is your mom?
Check out the pic of Zack from today...it was 80's day in his class and we did his hair "Flock of Seagulls" style!!!
My Mom is mostly ok, tearful at times when speaking of my father. Otherwise her usual OCD/anxious self and I remain as patient as possible reminding myself of how hard it must be to be 81 and a widow.
((Scrabs))
So cute! And he reminds me of Primo.
Trif's primo?
Seems you've both been having a hard time. Sorry to hear that. xx
Yes, that Primo.
my patience seems to be very thin these days. I want to be so much better than I am.
He reminds me so much of him too! I call him Primo's name all the time!
The boys really look up to him.
What is the prognosis for your knee, Car?
We do the best we can given our sleep deprivation and multitasking life, don't forget.
Since he is taller, they would look up to him.
Oh hello, BR!!!! You are so sweet! I got a coritsone shot and prescription for PT. We will see how that goes and then if need be, he can clean it out. But no surgery for now!!!!!
LOl!
Hello BR.
I know Scrabs. But at the end of the day, I feel I can /should be better.
Hello, Jacula
I am desperate need of a break though.
PT comes in a pill?
In order to have insurance cover it, you need a prescription for it.
(the kitten is sitting on my shoulder like a parrot...purring away in my ear...)
Cute kitten!
car - I hope your kitten isn't like my cat in that it needs to stick its claws into you to make sure it can remain in situ. :(
No! Despite his neurological deficits, he seems to be able to sit there no problem.
Do you have 2 cats, Car? One is ill?
Not all cats do this, of course. I once had half a cat that used to drape itself around my neck like a scarf and nary a claw in sight.
I need some help with the top O please?
I actually have 3...Dante was the one that was ill but he is much better. I am so glad we addressed that before the storm.
I feel like I am being cuddled and it makes me happy.
Is Dante the kitten?
Oh heck! I can't remember which 'o' word the one from the top line is now.
od5
or4
the type of doctor car would use for her knee...
Hi again - od 5 and pl
os4 and or5..I need 1 more
Hello again all :)
Help pls with st 6 / 21 - the last one - after the st 4 to mix things
TY, Liz
Good clue, TO!
Hi TO & Lizlin.
Hi smores
George is the old man, he just stays in our bedroom all the time. He is 15. Dante is the cat that was sick...he lives for the kids and they (especially Zack) live for him. He is 4. Buddy is the kitten. We call him "Buddy! The spastic Pokemon!"
Hi smores!
Hi lizlin!
Hi TO!
hello jacs, smores, scrabs, car
TY TO! I miss that one every time.
st6 = past tense of to walk or take a step
Lizlin - st6.21 - to have walked in a firm way?
S's stomped, R's removed
Been lurking I'm afraid! down to 10 now but that last s is fighting to the end! ty - definite word blindness again!!!!
What problems does Buddy have?
Just the t's and u's now! Listed ages ago!!! That's the problem with large grids!
I have st + I ro4 the bus to work as my car was broken
ty car and all for that st :)
Buddy is basically a "cerebral kitty". He bobs his head a lot and is a little uncoordinated.
Well, I am glad he is in a loving home.
His other litter mates also have issues like that. The mother may have had some distemper while she was pregnant.
Ah
car - I didn't realise that cats could get distemper. I thought it was a canine problem.
Yup. They can get it too.
ts 5 ... marquis de
Well, you live and learn! And you learn a lot here on Babble. :)
ty BR :)
How can I still need so many words?!?!?
Because this is a huge grid
to 7 --- first part of the technical writer's name and marquis de
I'm going to wander off to bed now. Happy Babbling, all! xx
Sleep well, Jacula.
Be well, Jacula
Good night jacula! It was lovely to "see" you!

Hi uusue!!!!
That pic of you and Frank is GORGEOUS!
thanks, car! It's one of my favorites.
And, uusue! What was up with Moscow last night?!?!?!
Logos take so long for me to see...all I see is a planet
Oh I am sorry Lynxxx...it was a picture she posted on FB
OK
Help please with the lower i?
I only have the angry one from tehre.
*there
that meteorite that hit Russia was unusual in its size and the fact that it hit an inhabited area, but we get hit with stuff like that all the time, just most of it is smaller
in6 as in twinkle twinkle
But why didn't they see it coming? Were they all too focused on the biggie?
Ty Lynxxx!
** finito ** last word AS 6 more sooty
no, it was too small to be seen until it hit the atmosphere and then it burned up, what hit them was the shock wave (like a sonic boom)
Wahoooo! Congrats wv!!!!
ir5.12 ir & ***noids
yay wv!
Congrats WV!
That would have scared the shinola out of me! It was amazing to see though!
thnx all - and good night
WTG teach!! :)
Sleep well wv!
it was pretty astounding!
night wv!
I know they cause those sonic booms...but I didn't realize it would be unseen until it hit. I figured they were just too focused on the bigger one and missed this little one.
Oh! I am now being treated to some heavy duty cat wrasslin'!
it was only about 5 feet across, traveling at that speed you won't see it until it's here
Amazing!
And with 124 to go, I am pulling up the list. How sad!
you are more than 2/3 through, I'd list there!
I try to get to 100 or less.
I listed just past 1/2
yes but with this size grid not sad at all :)
Ok! I feel better now! TY!

i went to the store where i work.. to buy some pop.. my boss was there and he assumed i was schedled to work so he gave me a list of things to do... and i did them.. 4 hours later he goes.. wait ur not on the schedule.. oh well.. 4 extra hours this week :)
LOL...good job cos!
he was impressed so he gave me extra responsibilites and more hours.. i was hired to do orders but now im doing orders, resetting, carry items, remove items, re-sequencing :) basically office assistant
Cool deal, cos
Wow!! He's probably not used to anyone with a work ethic...
Now instead of 8 hours a week it'll be 12-14 hours. ill take it.
we will be able to afford cable again! <3
