This grid looks tough
Hi LIZ
hi liz
about 75% okay, jilli
Beautiful day here - just back from a long beach walk - hope it was the same where you are :)
It was pretty nice here too, liz

A word beginning with x?????

its xi 7
FWs
I don
Good bonus indeed, Rose. Sorry to read that your fibromyalgia 's been playing up! Good to read about potential retirement due to d-i-l charging rent! I finally read back in that chog a few days ago!!
t think I have the brains for this after our Friday night Happy Hour(s) which ended at almost fliptime.
Don't need brains, Jilli - just fingers!!!!
* party girl ! *
On a grid like this, alcohol might help!
See, I can't even hit the right keys...
thanx liz. i don't think i will ever be able to take on a 10 hour shift again. i'm going to stay mum, until my boss asks me about going back up to 10 hours. lol...the way things are, i will probably be about to retire before she remembers to ask me.
I recommend early retirement to everyone!
hi ru -- happy memories I was sharing tonight with neighbours -- some had also loved San Fran
ci4,5 anyone?
Where is the T for idiot?
c + mad
ty ru
*giggle* not where it should be, jilli
The e's are not in useful places!!!
just what sort of word is up6? never heard of it....

xiromec? No...
100.. but I can't find the last three.. night all

Back later - about to skype UK. Thanks for the help!

I don't fake anything jilli :D

*granny is like a crosswalk guard *

lol jilli i missed that.. i was trying to drive carefully

hey saani, how you doing?
hi gran, going just fine! Getting my perennials in. They are all on sale, got some good deals today. Now I just have to find or (aagh) buy dirt. My place is all rock and arbutus trees.
did the patient live?
yes, hun. but he didn't have his surgery. was just a tad dicey to proceed
This ix a yuxci grixd
that's what it looks like to me right now anyway!
FW, and goodnight, almost asleep as I am
about 75% friendly, saani
WTG FLOSEY!!!! and a sweet repose, hun
qoq Flosey, good work! and good sleeps to you.
wow, I mean. I am tired too.
Granny I am stuck on the 25%!
I think they should let "oreo" be a word!
awww, poor saani...you must be very tired
lol, puglet, every time i see that word, i try it....one would think one would learn, right?
i am but not tired enough to sleep so I will keep plugging away and chatting. And inventing interesting Klingon words.
so a flying leap back into it. see you later granny.
*giggle* so you are either a trekky in disguise, or a fan of big bang ....
later, saani
some oreos and milk soounds good--mmm
I have ALL of the Captain Picard videos, in order, with plots and star dates. Yes you could call me a Trekky but definitely not in disguise!
lol, saani....okay then......your are officially my favourite trekky then.
their conventions are silly though, I must admit.
Well granny that is indeed a compliment to remember and thanks! For eal now, back into grixid.
please can you clue the 8
chay
choy
sorry
Need to take a break from this --If you are still here Rose , will catch you later--God Bless and hagd!
Hi everyone
Hi berri and all :)
Hi, Liz! Hoping the grid will help me sleep soon.
jenny, you still here, hun
okay, will leave clues here in chog.
ch8, plural of ch7...ch + either ** + charged particle
ch8, ch(job or task) + robot ending
Hi rose, i've just returned and found your clues, tyvm
In a lot of pain today and the grid helps take my mind of it
ch8, ch + either ** + vowel + robot ending. there are 2 of these, with a different vowel. clue at 4:14 not correct
ic8, ic + **u*, division of a day + h**r*, divisions of a day
Worked out the 'wrong' clue and the other so thanks again
jenny, sorry you are in so much pain, hun
Had a really bad fall onto my face which looks horrendous, but the most painful thing i have a haematoma on my knee which is also infected so I can't walk or even get out of the chair withoy=t help
awww, my poor jenny. do you have any arnica in the house? it is great for soft tissue injuries.
dinner ready, sorry hun. bbl
uncortunately I'm on warfarin and therefore can't use arnica
goooooooooooood morning fellow babblers xxx could someone let me know how many words today please? xxx
103 today worzel
ty nnn xxx was kinda figuring it would be a small grid with those letters
Could I get a clue for am7, please?
Am 7 showing lots of love, a lover would be described as this
hello Babblers :)
Hello
hi angelina
?hello?
hi ruby
I think this is a weird time to be on
{{yay, sprite}}
why?
how are you feeling?
rather sad and tired today. And you?
)weird time for me
ah ok. I come here more often around this time.
{{Ruby, Sprite}}
hi smores :)
why sad sprite?
{{smores}}
why are you sad, sprite?
aw nothing really big. Issues with Tim, resolved them just now but am still shaken. And sad because a penfriend of mine all of a sudden turns to gossip and pleasure in other people fighting... feel a bit hollow as a result.
thanks for caring :)
other people fighting? what's that about?
I always thought sons were supposed to be easier to raise, but now, with my son pushing 50, I realize I was wrong.
enjoying it when people are having a vicious argument, that kind of thing. Makes me so sad.
{{sprite}}
sorry sprite :(
vicious argument in babbleland? I must have missed it
raising children is a hefty adventure at best, and quite a challenge at worst.
no, not in babble land.
aaaah
good morning my babble friends:)
penfriend of mine. No worries, babble land still functions ;)
crossy! *hugggs*
{{crossy}}
((sprite))
0
((ruby))
need a shoulder to cry on, crossy. Can I have yours for a sec? ;)
glad you resolved things with Tim...hopefully your friend will come around...maybe he/she just had a moment...we do sometimes :)
Hiya crossy :)
sure,crossy has big shoulders:)
I'm asking Mrs. Elegant
true smores, we do :)
Mrs Crossy know that crossy is 100% safe with us. *rests head on crossy's shoulder and cries sadness out*
aww,poor sprite..what happened?
bit of sadness about parenting and penfriends, crossy. Nothing big, just... disappointing.
tell me again sprite, how old is Tim?
he will be 17 this month, smores
sorry I don't recall
don't worry, you don't have to remember all the details :)
ah..I knew he was a teen..but couldn't recall
I'll remember now :)
yup,teens will drive you round the bend
hehehe, seriously, don't worry. Can't recall all details about all babblers, just too many.
crossy has 1 9 year old
any improvement since 17, crossy?
you gain in some areas,lose in others
mine are 13 and 15...can't believe it sometimes
haven't heard from mine since he left here on Monday. How sad is that?
I think I've been fired.....
amazing, isn't it, smores? It goes so fast. 13 and 15... they are starting now, with pubering!
for instance, he has complete his secondary school and will be graduating,but now he is a couch slug that hardly moves excepter to eat,play the computer and sleep
sounds like he didn't feel comfortable about it either, ruby. Yeah, sad feeling.
sorry ruby {hugs}
awful and I thought we were fine
poor ruby:((
ouch crossy. Might it be a temporary thing, to compensate for finishing school?
yes,i think so,i am allowing it till the graduation ceremonies and the dispensing of the diploma,then he must get on with life
maybe you can email him, ruby? Tell him you may have rubbed eachother the wrong way during his visit, but that you want him to know how much you care for him?
I think after a busy period they deserve a bit of slouching, as long as it isn't permanent.
I already wrote, neutrally, saying it was very quiet around here without him, pretending like nothing happened
yes,sounds like he was trying to run you life a tad on last visit ruby and he is a bit uncomfortable with the outcome
hmmmm.... *has bad experiences with pretending nothing happened*
good call crossy...give him a little time but not too much
unfortunately, that's how our family operates.....
you are always allowed to change the rules though, ruby
I haven't the energy
ok
call him and say that although you love him,and his visits and welcome any advice that for now you are a mature adult in you own home able to make your own decisions regarding life,the home and the dogs but thank him for his advice
mine too ruby, but I try to break it
that's funny, crossy, ty for making me smile
go smores :)
it's hard running relationships at such a distanve. John is turning into his father and I don't think I can change the course of that
lol,well,not really meant to be funny,unless you have gone insane last i talked to you,you are indeed to live life and raise your pups the way you see fit
and his wife, in her quiet, baby-talk way, undermines whatever he and I havehad
but I'm sure there is a lot of you in there too dear :)
not funny haha, but your kindness made me smile, crossy
not trying to change anything is usually a good way to make sure things stay the same
well,i care about you,ruby tuesday
and I, you, Mr. Crossy
oooo..look there's a grid on the page...lol
i mean unless i come over there and see you have planter fowers in the fridge and have the dogs dressed in childrens clothing and have planted grass seed in the livingroom floor,i would let you carry on the way you carry on;))
flowers
Baby sister brings in so much dirt that I could easily plant grass seed on the floor
LOL
if there is mischief to be done, she finds it
she digs up plants and brings them to me
we,then i reccomend the kentucky bluegrass strain.it is very nice
but then you'd have to mow
what is wrong with grass as carpet?
it's impossible to get mad at such a cute pup
smores, a couple of goats will take care of that
:D
mm,yes.i would use a hand mower then.do not need exhaust fumes in the house from a power mower
caqn you imagine, goats in the house? I would love to have a pet goat but he would eat all the flowers
just what my house needs...lol
pass on the goat! we tried three,just three!! on 5 acres.in less than 6 months we were living in a dust bowl
and on that happy not, time to do the NYT crossowrd
see y ou later, kids
:D see how good they do the grazing???
Good day to all.
bye ruby
oh they graze alright...
bye ruby :)
tc ruby
howdy scrabby
and sheep are less interesting AND they eat the flowers
hiya Scrabs
Hi Scrabbler :)
hello and bye scrabbler
our goats even ate the trim off the side of the house!!
wow crossy..
We have ANOTHER beautiful spring week coming. Temps in the 70's, sun. We have been so lucky.
the flowers,the bark off all the trees...
it is amazing here also scwabby
goat stew?
there is a place about 10 minutes away with a herd of VERY large but friendly goats. It's a treat to visit them
sold them fast at next auction
We went kayaking yesterday and I really paddled hard so I could have a good workout.
*woof*
cloudy here but also in the 70's
i would say you need a barn full of feed or at least 5 acress per goat
lovely, Scrabs. We are having our 3rd lovely day here. Spent most of yesterday outdoors and it felt so gooood.
A 4 letter X word? Stat please?
sounds like we are all blessed with good weather atm
nope, 7 letters, Scrabs
ok,diving into the grid a bit.have not done a single word yet!!
robot ending
The son of my late friend, Mary, is making his First Holy Communion today, so I am going to the church in 3 hrs and then a luncheon.
I've only got 10
Aha, I KNOW that word too!
yay :D
I don't know why I assumed it had to be a 4-letter word. I am still waking up.
could easily have been only 4.

bye again, Pat, and enjoy the little sprout
Pat, I already had that word.
wow! this is a tough little grid;((

I need 10 words to pass halfway.
the X and the PH are used inside words

is used in several words, crossy. ou5, up6
ahh,ok,i got you now
also robot ending and -ous ending are used. General clues for finding a number of words :)
mm,that up 6/27 was an odd one,ty ,sprite

yep
working the crap out of the monkeys today i tell you:((
funny how there were a group of really nice grids followed by several difficult ones.
sleeping dogs are good dogs
this is definately a tough one
Sure is!
i cannot believe there are 22 c words hiding here
55 down and time to list, I think!
With 4 e's and 4 i's, I figured it would be a tough one.
do not blame you one bit,liz
yaa the monkeys just found 2 more
not even 1/2 and thinking of listing
lot's of monkey words in the top right quadrant of the grid
"gives crossy's monkey a banana"
After several glasses of wine, the grids's not looking any better than it did earlier tonight!
lol
mm,maybe i should try wine instead of tea with my breakfast,see if it helps;)

Babble never like french love
sorry for dropping duds in the chog ; )

TY I'll look
I guess Babble hasn't heard of Dean Martin and when love hits your eye like a big pizza pie
cool rhyme
funny lyrics... people say some of today's lyrics are ridiculous (and they are), but when the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie isn't exactly Byron ; )

We should be around 71f by Monday here.
we are all out in our sandals,shorts and t-shirts
very productive ch's
Seems more like fall than spring here.

But this weather is good for my garden.
lynxx... though babble doesn't like italian love, it likes greek love... go figure
I want to type in eieio...

I always find the letter 'i' so hard to find words with.
lol
Yay TY Zooz - that took my 5 to 8
I is ALWAYS hard to find
Hey hang on what did i do..did i miss something?

xi7/60 - bone at base of the sternum
xi 7/60
If that was for the ic8/55, Crossy..then thanks..got it first try..lol
yaaa
is that another name for the coxus (spelling?)
TY. Never would have foound that.
no
coccyx is base of teh spine
xi+ pool chemical balance letters + robot ending
Tough grid/
Thanks for the xi7..had to google it.
phantom sophomore
always had to dip testing strips to determine this
thats how much I know - I thought sternum was spine! sorry just call me stupid. Didn't have biology in m y time
anything could end in oid
hi Bzzn - you are right
Good clue giving there, Crossy.
bot not many xi words end in oid,brookie
esp the ch's Brookie
just one as a matter of fact:))
sternum is breastbone
ty,zooz;))
I too am finding this grid a tad difficult, Bea.
coccyx is butt bone
hopefully for most, those are not the same ; )
hi all, good morning
And it bloody hurts too..if you land on it awkwardly.
i am almost half way and this grid is kicking my coccyx
Hello, Mael.
howdy,mael
hi Mael
hi zooz, crossy, lynx! everybody having a good day so far?
not bad so far;))
bbl
mine was very relaxing
bye kje
Seems ok so far, Mael..hope yours is going well :-)
di5.22 is a new word for me
it is, my husband dragged me to the driving range this morning because he's learning to golf. I told him that there is no way he's becoming more of a yuppie than he actually is. Sigh.
but at least it's outside :)
NBT and NBS...Time to bzz...pfft!
Di5/22 DEF: an utterance.
weird isn't it
Yes..i do not recall seeing it in the grid before.
ah, latin, always helpful
Alas..my Latin..is very poor.
Phone.
so's mine, but my italian helps me finagle the latin anyway :)
usually comes with another word: ***** dominus
it's still in use in French
what does di*** dominus translate as?
The Lord says (or said...)
TY
OK down to 25 and enough for tonight - bye everyone.
bye lynxxx
Hey, Brooke is here. Long time no see. : )
yea. was too busy before
Sorry about that - that was my son typing in the chog! :-)
Good Morning Babblers
My son loves to play Babble. He's a wordie like his mom.
Now we're going to get out of Babble for a bit. I think my son learned his lesson. Have a great day, everyone! *poof*
Bye, Lynxxx & Brookie.
Hello, Christa.
Hi Zoom. The only Latin I know is from church. : )
Hello, Molly :-)
I thought about you when I read an article about a girl from your area who only eats Ramen noodles. : O
Really?..will google & see...Although i eat more Noodles :-)
Ramen noodles is a main food group for my 17 yr. son lol
proper ramen is a complete dish, unlike the instant noodles most people know
Oh yes..i did not see that in our local paper...How on earth can someone just live on that alone..i like a varied diet.
Instant noodles i have found to be disgusting glutenous rubbish.
yup, I agree
A very apt description Zoom. I would never let my kids eat them, much to their dismay.
I've never had packaged Ramen
when in post secondary i existed on kraft dinner,tangerines and lemon vodka;) never knew of these instant ramen noodles at the time
I'm actually going to have real ramen for lunch, it is delicious
And i meant 'i eat more than just noodles, Molly..not i eat more noodles..lol
Hello, RuRu.
nothing worse than a fake ramengasm
howdy ruru
wish we had a ramen restaurant here. At least we have excellent sushi
i am sorry i got you embroiled in that crap yesterday,ru
there's supposed to be an excellent Ramen place in Oakland. I should check it out
No problem Crossie.. you didn't.. I got involved on my own
I will have to check this Ramen stuff out..not had it before.
but a new day is upon us and the birds are singing and falling out of the tree cause they are having sex;))
I think the embroiling happened mostly on the other side, crossy...
He has issues with us for some unknown reason.. and that is the way it is.
Crosshair, you corn flake comment had me laughing all day at work.
cannot remember my cron flake commet:/
corn
suuure, crossy, new day, higher pollen count! ;)
my mind is like a seive
I am getting confused..i think i must of missed something here..maybe best i don't know..lol
nope,zooz,new day and the sun is shining
Insecurity about male dominance is a sad thing. And I'm not talking about any of the males here.
Yes the sun is shining..even if it is a blustery day..i don't that at all.
it is a balmy 65f here
Well, here at the moment anyway. : D
I keep missing words out..*i don't mind that at all*
windy here too
lol, molly
this grid is kicking my arse;(
what was the snide comment thing to you mael?
Is there any chance of a clue for a U word?..i have up4/6
the chat could use some sort of moderation system or at least an ignore list, the main reason why I usually lurk
well,if it gets too ornery,i just hit the whos onlike button and just babble
back again
I called him obtuse once because he was making a new user obviously uncomfortable and he was either failing to realize or ignoring it
it was months ago and he's vowed to never forget, which is fine by me
I agree Buggie. I'm not a big fan of unmoderated chats.
back again :)
wow...I guess life doesn't go on heh?
lol,i think i ended up on the list by telling a lawyer joke about 3 years ago
Hello, Foffle :-)
lol. crossy
hiya zooz
he seems to like his feuds, I guess they're entertaining
nm..found it.
a lawyer joke?
there are a whole lot of ch words I don't know apparently
lol!! cat is on the window,window is open with bug screen up and on the ither side of the scrren sits a robin,who knows damn well when he is doing to the poor cat as the bird is preening himself and giving the cat9who is losing his mind) the ole tail up sphinchter salute
lol, crossy, my cat climbs the bug screen all the way to the top of the window and howls while hanging on
lol,i best put the cat down before he goes insane
I have three with robot endings, Ru.
Can clue if needed.
i best go find a cup of tea and reset my babble eyes,biab
I only have one of those, zooz, could you clue em please? :)
What's a robot ending, if I can ask this?
thanks for taking him on too, btw, ruru.
Ch8 word for boring house work + robot ending.
ooh, I had one without the middle vowel, thanks
same again but change the vowel on the end of the boring house work word + robot ending.
Robot ending is null and v***
never would have found that, zooz :)
thank you
People are referring to the word dr***, I am guessing.
thanks, thats nbs... a hint for the x?
ch7 boring house work word without the end vowel + robot ending.
Also, rectal polyp ending probably would not be considered "pleasant".
hah
The He6/27 is close to that word, Molly..lol
"Pleasant" -- not a word to be applied to the big CH words in this grid!!
Seriously Erda, where did they dig those up?
Yeah...
Oh but REJOICE! We have learned new words! : )
Oops..PB, Erda :-)
LOL zooz -- now I see it!
Teehee
Tacos and nachos in the PB. Early Cinco de Mayo treats.
Ooh..and PB for you too, Molly..MA4/7..lol
Sorry..i will shut-up now..i am just having a laugh.
Which explains why I'm in there making the tacos and nachos. : D
i'm going to have to come back to these c's later.. ugh
Did you get the shiny metal one, Ru.
well there is two of those.
that one I have
Same again just dif vowel on the end.
thank you (inches closer)
thanks zooz
yw :-)
there is a brown bar above word stats and what is the number with a decimal point in the middle mean?
Also fixing Mint Juleps in the PB for any Kentucky Derby celebrants.
The average number of letters in a word.
good to know, thank you
ugh, I'm still missing 10 Cs
Going to rest my eyes for a while..back later.
bye zooz see you later
<---apparently doesn't know enough Di words either
found another ch7
this is one tough grid
DI are mostly "non" words
hi all :) someone was asking for a hint on the x word, was it clued?
sounds like the ty fever
thanks ruru :)
yw
thanks wouldn't have found it if nobody mentioned it.. its the centre between the pecs and the ab muscles
what is that area called?
xi 7 60
that little sensitive spot
a very rare find that's for sure
I was confused for a minute. I thought "non" words meant dis words. But meant not really words. : D
it's the bottom of the breast bone, VY.
yes, that little sot area between the ab muscles and the bottom of the pecs
soft
the _____ process
Good Morning, Everyone. Trying to get NBT, NBS before I do some cleaning in the basement (have to put some stuff away that was dragged out this week; got several kids coming to play shortly).
i thought the sensitive spot began with a g.
: D
Could I please have some clues/stats for the i's please?
:-0 hi nef :)
i + group of singing people with an extra vowel
That's the 8
id5/14
hi all :)
Then take off the last three letters for an ic5
thank you Molly and mymuse
ichorus
sorry, on phone. :-(
Add an extra vowel
thanks Molly :)
and Nef lol
I had the right word; phone call made me hit "send" by accident
Damn phone : P
well it helped my brain which kept going in the other direction :)
Several medical type words in here to day for you Nurse folk : )
yep. :-)
morning all
Hi Jes
hi jes :)
how goes?
No complaints, and you?
my brain isn't working for words today - but i will power through :)
My last word was an UP one -- this is its definition: a wooden block with holes through which the lines of a crowfoot are rove
What did we do to deserve such punishment?
we volunteered, Erda!
I guess we did...
"Lines of crowfoot are rove"? That is hysterical : D
Nautical, don't you know...
POOF
bye, erda :)
Avast ye maties! Rove that crowfoot! It's to the high seas with us!
Happy Star Wars Day everyone!
george lucas has his own holiday?
Q: How is duct tape like The Force? A: It has a Dark Side, a Light side and it binds the galaxy together.
i would have thought it'd be closer to Christmas and Chewbakah.. er i MEAN Chanukah
George Lucas probably has his own planet.
he wouldn't be the only one
{ruru} You really do rock!
Aw, they are getting all schmoopy about cooking on Mexico - One Plate At A Time
?? thanks
Think about the chog lately.....
He's the darling of Babble chat : D
oh... not just me.. but thank you
Just popped in for a couple of minutes and now going to the store. Later, everyone, and hugs all around.
bye mimi happy shopping
Somehow, The Rolling Stones Tour with guest star Gwen Stefani makes very little sense to me.
they're shooting for an average age
the Stones are awful now.. they need to hang it up
hints for the ma 5/14 pleasde?
ma + gardening tool
They really are long past their prime. What clips I've seen of their concerts are embarrassing to watch.
thanks ruru!
He rocks! : P
they did the superbowl half time show a few years back and stunk up the place. they're terrible now
Maybe it helps that many of their long time fans are hard of hearing now. : )
Let it bleed is one of my all time favorite albums..
along with Al Green's greatest hits
got to go bathe the doggies.. have fun everyone
22 c's?! how is that even possible?
beats me i only have 9
With made up words of course.
up6?
you're ahead of me then.
scroll down shirl and paste in erda's definition
i'm cheating with lickety
Idon't know, shirlock, but it might be the one Erda was talking about, that means "a block of wood through which lines of crowsfoot are rove" :)
wow, never would have gotten that word
back out to hope lawnmaower will start after sitting in the sun. happy babbling all
I gotta go rove my crowfoot
bye, TO
good luck with that. :P
half way :)
anybody have stats for the x? that'll give me nbt
xi7/60
hmm...
well, in retrospect I should have known that...
thanks, molly
: ) Doctor types usually do
di6/39?
hello everybody
((ruby))
{{crossy}}
Rufino made an escape just as the vet was due to arrive. She wound up climbing over rocks to try and re-capture him
lol! poor puppy
what a scamp! Rufie, not the vet
funny,they can all sense a vet,even on first visit
di + beast of burden + ego's partner ... Shirlock.
ty,diane
ty diane
yw.... hi crossy
I finally caught him, but he's huge, weighs about 80 lbs and loved his adventure
beast of burden ...
not an ass.... the other one
or the sStones record
Paul Bunyan's Babe
now you will have to tie him on a lead a half hour before scheduled vet visits
o, duh! thx diane
:-)
he is cting ashamed now, but should be because to capture him, I had to fall n top
vet wasn't even coming for him
lol,can see ruby right now,taking a flying tackle on an 80 pound ball of fur in the back garden
exactly!
need your football helmet
the vet wouldn't even charge for the visit. She really loves Rufe
probaly best show the vet has seen all day:))
I give up, good night everybody
coomon ruby.you just got here;((
Hello crossy, ruby et al!
Hi Jilly :-)
howdy jilly
Hiya ((DD)))
((( JJ )))
It's been awhile since we have been on togther Diane, how have you been?
All is well with me, thanks Jill..... I've been on, have seen you , my always cheerful friend, but I don't join chat very often :-)
Well, I certainly would have been in lurk mode yesterday AM...LOL
But, I must say, I envied your little getaway last week. I even looked it up on Google and it looks like a great place to rejuvenate !!
I did witness some of that.... I just shut my chatterbox as I often do and just play my game.... Babble is my relaxation and I can do without that for certain !!
It is a special place DD. Has affordability from $80 rooms with shared bath to $600 cabins. We did their winter special. We had a great time!
I know you did :-)
I agree DD...this chog should be the pleasant supportive place it was intended to be.
six hundred ??? lol
I think the chat would be a nice place if certain people were so belligerent
It's a cabin for 12...
I showed my hubby all the pictures of the wildlife you saw along your drives.... great stuff !!
agreed, ruru :-)
Struggling with finding ch5/16..the first
oh, okay !!
ch5 therapy
I think it's the one that I endured 5 years ago !!
True dat ruru, I have been the brunt of that person's vitriolic attack too.
that was supposed to be weren't sorry
And it did its job... just had a cancer free 5 year checkup 2 weeks ago !!
I'm one of the favorite targets Jilly.. you don't have to tell me about it
Can you dumb it down for me...can almost rmember it...
great for you diane.. great news
Hey ruru, still coming up in June?
Again, agreed !!
yes.. first week of June I think
Good for you Diane!!
All I can think of is the freezing therapy, that's not it..LOL
I have to check with My friends in Bozemand
involves chemicals jilly
shortened term
That deserves a fish slap for me....
slap, slap.... with a flounder even !!
*hangs head in Babble shame*
..no kidding...
you nurse, you !!!
JIlly has surgeons mixed up with Sturgeons
LOL
Oh ruru, you always make me smile!!
I have 58 words remaining, but I'm going out to vacuum my van. Hubby is golfing ... he was actually excited this morning ! ( After all, it's been a WHOLE month since he golfed in Arizona !! ) See you both later, and thanks for the nice chat :-))
Nice to chat with you diane!! TC...hagd
brb...grabbing a snack...
this grid is kicking my arse:((
the sturgeon general says eat 3 servings of fish a week!
I know crossy...certainly did mine on ch5..
lol,i was 5 years clean last check up:))
Woowhoo crossy!!
it is a big milestone for us survivors
You can breathe a little easier at 5 years...
name our old insurance health care program that is in the grid(was our version of obamacare,sort of half way tween insurance driven health care and universal health care we enjoy now)
indeed,jilly
hah, I found the ic8 all by myself. That never happens. ;)
yaaa for mael!!
the boy who flew too close to the csun
sun
sort of
Do you mean there is hope for those of us in the US to eventually have universal care? *heavy sigh*
WTG mael!!
it is indeed a stepping stone
what has to vaish for it to evolve is the old "why should i have to pay for him?" attitude and once everyone understands that everyonw,rich,poor,working or not will one day need health care and problems treated in a timely manner are far cheaper than waiting till the last second due to lack of insurance,then and only then might it take hold there
we all pay for health care.it is just a matter of you can pay now or pay more later.we chose to pay with taxes on employment income and cover everyone ,no matter what
I know crossy, as a nurse, I know...have known for 33 years...
not to say it does not have it's own problems however
No system is perfect....
but people should not have to delay getting a small problem looked at until it becomes a very expensive big problem
no,none is
for example in our hospital that has not quite grown with the population here,we have 25 triage beds.now that sounds fine untill you find out that we do not have enough rooms for all,so 20 wait oh triage gurneys here and there for rooms to open up while 5 slots are open for actual emergency room,resulting in long waits at times,especially when the citiots come up here to ski and fill emerg with broken legs and wrists
now that spring is herewe will have almost no wait times
But again, ER wait times can be hours here as well...
but everyone gets treated even if you have been on the street for ten years and have not made a dime or held a job because health care is everyones duty
What amazes me is that in my faith, Catholic, tehre are those that do not see that; as much as our church teaches social justice.
crossy bows and gets off of soap box:)
it is amazing what people choose not to see,they will step over someone who cannot afford health insurance to slip a 100 dollar bill into the collection plate
True dat!
that is saying you love all,giving everyone health care is SHOWING that you speak with your actions
many will not agree,but i do not care
I LOVE, St Francis' words "Preach the Gospel at all times, when necessary, use words."
my wife has a friend in PA who is almost totally deaf now because he could not afford medical insurance to get it looked at earlier.seems things have to be a large crisis before the free clinics or whatever they have will take him
and by then does it now cost a whole lot more?
i like that saying as well,jilly
Sheesh, finally thru the ch's...they knocked me down a peg or two...
the ch 7 and 8 are a tad tough
this grid is owning crossy,so do not feel badly
my monkeys are doing well,that and a few good clues have me almost to half way
I'm definitly struggling with the top right corner...worst were that ch5 and the last ch6's...just cannot seem to 'see' that corner
just monkeyed ch 5/14 and 6/24
sounds like a greek god
where were you 10 minutes ago....LOL
** finito ** last word EC 6 was from that top corner
WooT WooT WooT wvteach!!
yay teach!
hi everybody
hi jes - any clues needed before i get ready for my granddaughters birthday party
Hello jes!!

Oh rats. Missed the WooTing.
wooting?
Jill's WooT WooT WooT-ing
ahh ok,though it was a chinese dish you enjoy
omg..this grid!
Um...no
my brain has run out of ways to make ch8 words...clue for the second 8/55?
ch 8/55 word is same first 4 letters plus vowel plus robotic ending jesdraggon.
Hi Min! Good to see you.
i have one that fits that, there's another immediately after it...or do both fit the same clue?
Hello MollyL! How are you doing? Good to see you here too
nevermind, they DO both fit the same clue :) thanks
done and gldaly gone. happy babbling
1 vowel difference
They both fit the same clue.Just change vowel for 2nd one
Congratulations 72 Temple Owl on fireworks! Good for you
Glad you're gladly TO. Enjoy the rest of your day.
Time to make the dump run. back later for the last 6.
Gorgeous weather here. We had a nice walk around the lake and I treated us to Starbucks afterwards.
Gorgeous weather here too. I took the dog to the dog park
I am always a happy person after a day full of fresh air and sunshine. : )
I won't be happy for a week. Cloudy here until next weekend...
Gloomy forecast, Bea.
Oh crap, I just looked at our forecast. What is hovering over you will be moving here late Monday. : (
It's not my fault!
I'd welcome some rain here in Boston, to be honest
we've had a ridiculously pretty stretch of warm sunshine, but the plants are starting to suffer
We are expecting rain on Monday, so maybe it will move your way, mael.
No Bea, not your fault. Apparently, the April showers we didn't get in April, are here in May. And I still haven't planted my impatiens because it's been too chilly.
we know better here.nothing actually goes into the ground till may 24th.start whatever you wish in pots or greenhouses but nothing in the dirt till may 24
My impatiens are growing like crazy even though it hasn't been warm.
i have seen snow into the second week of may here before so nature promises us nothing yet
May 24th is way late planting here.
not for here
Well, that is because our snow and cold weather is over way before the Canadian stuff.
yup,we pay for what we love about it here;)
Usually. This year has been brutal for those in the midwest.
It really has Bea. Makes me laugh at the Global Warming people.
want to see global warming? check out our far north.it is a mess.global warm is a true sad thing
weather it is as nature intended or humans are to blame,it is happening
I'm probably the umpteenth one to say it, but May the Fourth be with you all! :-)
soodles!!
*Imagines Soodle in her white sheet dress and Princess Leia hairdo*
lol,ram horns and all
ch7/26?
The Good Leia, of course!
36? Starts like the ch before it, ends in robot ending.
I've heard some good Star Wars Day and Cinco de Ma4 jokes today. Q: Why isn't Cinco de Ma4 like St. Patrick's Day? A: Because everyone doesn't pretend to be Mexican on Cinco de Ma4.
ah 4/6! May I please have your attention? After feeling like a mo 5/12 with today's grid, I will now write a story of clues! Once up4/5 a time, there was this woman who was addicted to babbling.Even though she was far from being a Babble Ch4/7p, she still loved to play. Everyday after work, she would get ho 4/6 and dr 4/6 everything she was carrying, grab a bag of potato ch4/7s and start Babble for hours. Although her ch 5/14practor told her it was bad for her back to be in a sitting po 5/12ion for very long periods of time, she did so anyway. After this lady discovered Babble, she gave up several things. She gave up singing in a church ch 5/14 so she could Babble on Sunday mornings. She also gave up doing household ch 5/14s & hi 4/5d a cleaning company to clean for her so she could Babble. She stopped ir4/4ing her husband's clothes for work. Now he ir5/10 them instead.She gave up going to all of the so 6/18s hosted by her very ri 4/6 friends. She drea 5/14s of one day being able to attend a Babble meet-up. Husband has a di4/5 need to use the computer. I am going to go watch Mr. Holland's Op 4/6. Ch4/6 for now. I'll be back later on to help clue mo 4/5
<---Loves Mr. Holland's Op4
Min, are you still trying to plan your Vermont Babble gathering?
ch 7/36 is same first 4 letters+an electrically charged atom
Sort of. haven't worked it out with parents when I can kick them out of their house for the weekend.Would still like to
Min, your story is wonderful. Thank you.
Thanks Soodle and you are welcome1
I had to Google Cince de Ma/4. I had never heard of it .
We always head to our favorite Mexican food place for beer, chips and salsa and a free t-shirt.
I doubt much attention is paid to it in Ireland. Being as we border Mexico, it's a bit more prevalent here.
I'm fixing chicken quesadillas, black bean Mexican rice and corn on the cob for dinner tomorrow. Chips and salsa will be our appetizer. Ole!
Today may the 4th be with you. Tomorrow is Cinco de Mayo. Then the day after is revenge of the 6th :D
lol @ revenge of the 6th aka crossy's birthday:)
I love to make quesadillas for dinner, Molly. So easy and you can throw all kinds of "stuff" in them.
*Sends Buggie to the PB for Ma4. Feel free to grab a Margarita while you are there.*
oops, sorry, I thought to double check everything but that >.<
Watching the hats at the Derby...
i have a quesadillas inset that game with my large george forman grill.have never used it.may have to look it up one day and see what all the noise is about
Need to switch laundry...pfft!
insert
Bea, I'm in for Analyzer. : D *Wearing Big Derby Hat*
Or Overanalyze...how soon they forget.
My second pick is Mylute.
always bet on the horse that has a good poop right before the race
ty for that advice crossy, lol
np at all:)
I always wonder what goes into naming a race horse. I was very taken with I'll Have Another last year, and he won.
5 pounds of weigh taken off is good,no matter how it is done
always wanted to name a race horse "wins by a nose"
Good afternoon, all. Praise the Lord and pass the mint juleps.
First column i stats please?
NEVER MIND
how about the 2nd column i instead clue please?
Clue for the X word? Or at least what it starts with. I have deduced that the word is not "Xylophone".
lol Judi
It's a body part.
Judy, xi7 is part of the sternum
xy***** process (has the robot ending)
Maybe part of your sternum.
Got it. Ty. I have actually heard of that. Not like we all go around using that one in off-handed conversations.
You learn about it with CPR....but remember, I'm a nurse!
*Passes Judi a mint julep and admires her large hat*
<--doesnt know what the word is yet for xi7
Sounds like ty fever
*adjusts live blue birds and tosses some seeds onto brim". Mah mah. Isn't it sultry here today?
But i would like stats for the i on the 2nd column please?
xy+two consonant 'f' sound+robot ending
Actually, I don't even really know what's in a mint julep. Is it bourbon?
Very sultry dahlin'. Ah feel like a moist teacake.
Derby Day? Humming Run For The Roses. Beautiful song.
Mint leaf, bourbon and sugar.
Blech. I'll pass. Good thing it's (almost) Cinco de mayo. I'll go for the margarita instead.
Or you could have a mojito, which is a wannabe Mint Julep. : D
Feckit!!! Somebody crack open the Tequila.......
Nah. Don't like rum either.
People are going to the PB in droves for ma4.
I know a stout drink is in my future after this grid...it is kicking my butt...
Soodle, if you had been paying attention, you would have noticed that Margaritas are going in the PB.
?
What do the 8s start with?
Ooo, more lemon water Jill?
It's because we're being served mojitos in here ^^
ic8/55
ch8/55 X 2
the fella who flew too close to the sun on wax wings,jilly alt spelling
No molly, probably a Cold Smoke scotch ale...
bzz i mean
Assumes saintly expression, & points out to Molly that I haven't been to the PB yet.
Just made a mess with my beverage looking at Judi's icon. : D
bzz is ic 8 common?
good afternoon/evening - just diving in :)
Crossy just clued it.
Got the ic8. Ty.
np
There are three ch8's.
wax wings?
Greek mythology, if you know it.
aha, thanks, that's 3/4 done, I can finally list
Well, damn the ch8s all to hell.
Rofl! Judi, please tell me where the Festival of Balls takes place, and what does it consist of?
The c words in general can all go to hell.
ESpecially the CH's!!
molly not that well
lol,can see all the ladies in the big hats now at the derby,beding down and seeing who has the best pair hehe
bending
i + singing group...add an extra vowel towards the end

it was good but I really did not need it. I have a muffin top. really I do.
di6/39 ends in pork meat that goes with eggs
ok, looking...
Peri, seriously, it was okay to treat yourself to the muffin. Don't beat yourself up with guilt about it.
It goes with green eggs.
I do treat myself at time but my pants are tight around the middle and not comfortable.
I know the meat word but cannot see the di6
isn't that the di 6/27? or do both end with green eggs' partner, sam I am?
oh, Molls, I think you clued the di6/27
I did. Off to the stockade.
focus, Molls :)
that last di 5 should be dixon or dixie!!!!
Okay...di + short for chemical in air we breathe + first of Freud's personality trilogy

Hello Babblers!
Hi Red !!
How are you West?
pretty good..how have you been?
Also pretty good.
how is the running going?
OK, I am at the end of a Marathon cycle, so its rough, right now, very tired.
I'm so proud of you !!
I saw pics of Dorens first 5K on FB this week, it was neat!
all the world is running..except me lol
I ain't running either
but you have a wine stand..don't you?
lots of folks aren't and that is OK. I dont do any yoga, and everyone else seems crazy for it.
I ain't doing yoga either
hi ru
hi red.. I haven't seen you in like forever
I have not been on, I think I did one puzzle in the last 3-5 months. Today I am a little bit sick, got sent home by coach boy so...
this is not that nice a grid tho.
yeah.. great one to come back too huh?
well, I have 32 words ...
hiya babblers
Pip! You're back!
<---Doesn't run either
i am! just had such a hectic schedule with the new job it's been
hard to find babble tim
tries to imagine Molly doing yoga
sorry, excitable cat ob keyboard
No yoga...I walk a good bit, but I like my knees, hips and ankles intact, so I don't run.
I really dislike the Yoga.
me too
all that bending over for no good reason
:D
On that note, I am going to go take a bath and get into bed so I have a chance at tomorrows running. OMG RU, too funny. Missed you all!
enjoy, redturtlehead
Yoga is interesting. I have no problem with people who do it because it meshes with their spirituality. But it's gotten as "trendy" as eating quinoa.
funny, i like both those things, but mainly because they make me feel good
There is the difference Pip. And I bet your association with those two things has nothing to do with "what's hot".
yeah.. quinoa and yoga go together
also true
quinoa sounds like it should go with a vodka tonic
i think that would make the cocktail hard to suck through the straw
A vodka tonic with a straw? : O
don't put it past any vegetarians pippin :D
i drink every cocktail through a straw
but then i prefer shaken ones to stirred ones, so it's a different ingredient set
me too.. i like strained and shaken drinks
also, really, an x word? i don't even know where to start...
*Tries to imagine a martini with a straw in it*
I hardly ever drink hard alcohol though
i don't get out for coktails a lot, but boy do i love them
had several this week (on 2 occasions, since i was celebrating my job) and i love remembering them
How is the new job going?
i should really keep a journal, like people do for wine and beer
new job is pretty cool. learning all kinds of interesting stuff, and i get to use lasers to look inside people's eyes!
Ooo, a direct hit into the windows of the soul.
i can even measure the thickness of your retinal fiber layer in circular, horizontal, or radial segments
Now my eyes hurt.
*blinks*
that's my new most common phrase. "okay blink-blink, now don't blink don't move"
*Deer in the headlights look*
well done, molly, that's perfect
Good evening!
hi car!
Hello!
Damn Car, what happened to your Cinco de Ma4 icon. Those boys in Mexican hats are so cute.

i do love a good bath, i should do that again soon
A nice hot bath soaks all the eebie geebies out of you.
Hey Lynx
in honor of the horsey set,i give you crossy's derby tidbit of the day!!!
grr, phantom noxioud
Kentucky has been a hotbed of the sport of kings since at least the 18th century, but the Derby didn't begin until 1875. Colonel M. Lewis Clark, a grandson of the Lewis-and-Clark-expedition William Clark, needed a slate of races for his newly formed Louisville Jockey Club, so he decided to run three stakes races at the track's first meet. The races—the Kentucky Derby, Kentucky Oaks, and Clark Handicap—were named after England's three marquee races, the Epsom Derby, the Epsom Oaks, and the St. Leger Stakes. The first Derby was held May 17, 1875; Aristides beat the field. (Interestingly, both Aristides' trainer and jockey were both African Americans.)
noxious, that is
Good word Pip.
Great one, Crossy!
I live in the heartland of
And fireworks for me.
Wahoo! Congrats!

(((Soodle)))
I never bet on anything less than 15-1. What's the point?
Yes! How pleasant! We love pleasant here in Babble Land.
are you makin fun of me rizz?
yes,just smile and wave:))
Pleasant yes. Lucrative- yabba dabba doo yes! My dishwasher broke down at Christmas, I replaced it this week! :-)
I thought you fixed the dishwasher with the radio winnings.
my wife gets a new dishwasher ever morning,it's name is crossy;((
lol
that's the same dishwasher every morning!
Washing dishes by hand is not pleasant.
And no Hursh, I was not making fun of you. : )
yup,boiling water,dish liquid a dab of bleach and crossy
Contrary to the smile and wave comment.
:)
i do it every week
actually that's not true, lately the boy plaything has been doing them for me
I only use fairy washing up liquid..no bleach.
Clue please for the UP 6?
Radio winnings paid for it to be fixed, but it wasn't fixed! New machine was called for.
you keep a boy toy pippin? lol
Boy plaything....I love it!!
i don't keep him, but he keeps coming back
up + garden tool with an oddball consonant stuck in the middle
up+cons+ euro deer
Well you know, if they keep coming back and they do the dishes...what are you going to do?
TY!
i would advise you keep feeding him
Soodle, a new dishwasher is a wondrous thing.
up + letter + fish eggs
plus he buys me ice cream and dinner and drinks, so i let him stick around for now
whoa weird one thanks zooz
any clues for the ec words?
Ice cream, dinner and he does the dishes? I'd let him have his way with me, even if he was not all that.
Yay! Thanks Zooz
Oh, and not to forget drinks!!
penquis, if you say one it will say it back to you

ecx6x2..sorry

ch8 boring house work + robot ending.
lol,pippin,you are so kind and mercifull:))
thanks....i got the ec 6/24...what about the ec 6/30?
Far too young and not too bright...good for you Pip...I thought only men did that. : D
<------ I'll have whatever Pippengeek' s having......
adj, penquis
it's a little bit terrible, but can you really turn down a 6'4" asian man who spends his free time working out?
*Sends a young, swarthy dullard who buys drinks, dinner and ice cream and does the dishes Soodle's way*
ah...got it...thanks.
Struggling to keep my eyes open..time for sleepland...take care, All.
tc,zooz
i suppose it is slightly so6
Standing at front door with Welcome Mat on standby.......
Hard to say no to that Pip. Alas, I like them on the intelligent side. I know...nonexistant.
i vastly prefer to have actual conversations as well
I could put up with dumb if it was rich though.
Good morning / Good evening all :)
hi liz
"thats what bores us guys in the end.one day you look over at the plaything of the month and realize you can get better conversation out of a sack full of doorknobs
di 6/39?
i think it's what bores everyone, crossy
di + what we breathe + freud term
Shit!! If he's rich enough, we could hire a ,
thats why i married a smart woman,need someone to keep me in check:)
Brainiac
*feeling thankful for her husband*
gotta have the brain if you want anything to go beyond the physical
ty Liz
yw
I'm sure my hubby is just hiding his bronzed anzac side!
Sheesh! If only!
I agree Soodle. Money can buy the brains.
it's a little terrible, though, i find myself occasionally playing in my head the julie brown song "i like 'em big and stupid"
BIg and stupid are easy to find. It's the good looking intelligent ones that are elusive.
Molls, when you & me win the lottery, we can go 'shopping'. We can argue over trivialities like brains & brawn!
It all becomes triviality when you realize that they don't really serve but more than one purpose. : P
mine serves at least 3 purposes - he cleans, buys me comestibles, and the other
dr5/12 pls
Mine also cooks in addition to pip's 3 :)
d + anagram mayhem
comestible?
edible, drinkable, you know
ok
ty Doren
Lol! Sure. But when the Soodle/Molly show hits town......
yw
I stand corrected. They are handy if they serve those purposes as well. But once you get past the idea that they know nothing about romance, then your choosing becomes more selective.
no, i certainlty agree, molly, and i knew going into this that it was nothing more than a temporary distraction
and you and i are both in the pb!
I've been there all day. I'm whipping up Cinco de Ma4 drinks and eats.
what's on the menu, Molls?
i do like a nice spicy margarita
I cannot see the po5, help pls
peri, po + *** down, not stand
ty pipping
Chicken quesadillas (will have to make a veggie one for you Peri), black bean Mexican rice with cheese, corn bread and seven layer dip with nachos.
crossy can offer up baked chicken breasts with a sharp cheddar and zesty crumb coating with baked taters and sour cream and chives and bacon bits,niblets peaches and cream corn
ooh, i will make some guacamole
Mayo!!!! That's. i'm off to the PB where all the craic is.......
Yum - I'll jump in with you! Mayo!!!!!
Bringing with the challah I made on Friday :)
MAYO MAYO MAYO!
the more people in the hot tub, the better
*Puts on Mexican hat dance music*
WHEE....
Oh, someone is going to want some really spicy jalepeno stuff. I need a sous chef.
my clue for the op6/24: like andy griffith's son
Andy Griffith?
hello all
Hi Cos :)
Hi cos!
Sous chef Soodle reporting for duty....
I am now thinking of Eddie Murphy's bit on Ron Howard. OPIE CUNNINGHAM! OPIE CUNNINGHAM!
an american actor/comedian, liz, from the 50s
Ah ty!
Weeps copiously that Liz does not know who Andy Griffith is.
Help please with the CH 8/55's?
oyer
I have the first four letters....
whoops sorry force of habit
Love the icon Cos. I'm not a big Ikea fan.
lol ty molly.. neither am i.. waste of money imo
funny, i love putting that stuff together!
Just googled him and recognised the face!
I mean it's great if you like stark, boring furniture that you have to put together yourself.
i liked the meatballs but now idk
i don't care what's in them, they are delicious and cheap
lol.. that they are
What meatballs?
Neigh!!!!
In my bedroom, i've got a feature wall. Three magnolia walls, & one dark navy , and I hung 15 Ikea star shaped lights randomly aound feature wall. Probably very twee, but I like it.
my bedroom is mostly ikea, but i am young and poor
I'm so lost. What is a feature wall?
or at least i keep telling myself i'm still young
One wall that's decorated differently from the others to make it stand out.
never heard of that!
A posh way of describing a wall thats different from the other 3!
<---Needs to go to interior decorating class.
i guess i have no feature walls :P
May I please have help with some of these Di's? I need the 6's and the 5/22
Me either Cos. I hang a few pictures and make sure they stay freshly painted.
right im like ok no bare walls ...
I read too many DIY magazines!
di 5/22...stick the high tile in the middle and end with Adams Family cousin.
Got it. TY
thankis molly
<---Tries to figure out how to work "feature wall" into her everyday conversation
Got the di 6/39 as well.
Just need the di 6/27 pleas.

hahahaha
Hello, Aloy, K wants you to call, thinking of visiting.
finished the ch's!
Yeah!
Ooops...
*Looks around for Aloy*
She's hiding, but listed as online.
slate has an article about a family that has never learned to walk on 2 legs... they walk like an animal would
Who's Online doesn't necessarily mean someone is here.
yeah, i think it says i'm always online
I need help....second to last CH 6/27 please?
I know, but it's worth a try.
Same as the last, different last vowel.
oops, just saw your message broll.. huh?
Goof grief. TY! Fireworks
car, just like the last, different vowel
Oops, my bad. You were right. She was hiding.
Way to go Car. And thanks for putting the Cinco de Ma4 boys back up. Love that picture.
K talked to J yesterday, found you're in NC. Told J to have you call him (K), but figured J would forget.
sesame street was brought to you today by the letters K, J and the number 103
ok, LOL.. you are correct! on the other hand, bad time for a visit.. will email you.. ty
*Watches as cryptic conversation continues*
: D Cos!

way ahead of me, pippin.. go go go
It's full of dumb words. And no, I don't have to test them to see if they are dumb, they are just dumb.
dumb de dumb dumb dee
bah, thought i had tried the ic8, so now at least it's down to 11
Dumb dee dumb

OK...totally got sucked into the hockey game! Have a great night everyone!
Go BRUINS!
yes, cos, it is
enjoy car
ty got it
went to a local pub for lunch and had their bison burgers.. made fresh.. very delicious and huge.. eating 2nd half now
that sounds great. just leftover chinese over here
leftover chinese is good too. they taste better 2nd time around
except for the rice.. i make my own rice for leftovers lol
I make my own rice for Chinese food first and second time around. I don't care for the rice that comes out of the box in the shape of the box.
before i bought my rice cooker sometimes i would just go to the chinese spot around the corner and buy cooked white rice to eat with my food
i need to learn to make fried rice..i prefer white rice but i like the combo fried rice thing
Rice made in a rice cooker is eight gabillion times better than the ick rice you get at the Chinese places.
i also need a rice cooker. i can get one cheap
i got mine in chinatown, but they have cheap ones on amazon
the thrift store had a few today. ill go back tomorrow
Rice is a great staple food. It freaks me out how many people eat potatoes at every meal.
rice is delicious IMO
i eat a lot of it, tho i think i will be switching to brown rice - healthier and more goodies and all that
<---not eating rice or potatoes lately
I stopped buying ramen. Rice is just as cheap and you get more out of your money.
I don't like brown rice. It tastes like bits of cardboard.
Quinoa and kale Ru?
leeks. he likes leeks.
no quinoa either
I do like leeks :D
lol
just found the mo5/12 and now i feel like one
leeks are wonderful
LOL pippin
ruru, and you going carb free or something?
yeah..
*Passes Ru an almond*
It's so hard for me to drop pounds... otherwise
<---allergic to nuts
molly, don't kill ru!
I have heard, and I believe it, that people who do well on carb free diets have slow metabolisms.
carbs are my friends
that explains why it's a nightmare diet for me, i am a hamster
(in terms of metabolism, not other things)
*Takes back almond, replaces it with a celery stick*
imagines Pippin walking on a wire wheel
Pip, if you are a hamster with a high metabolism, why diet?
because i put on 35 pounds in the last 5 years, which seems excessive
i miss my old body
brb time for my Saturday night medication/mediation whatever u wanna call it
Thyroid okay? Are you old enough to have it be menopause issues?
Bye Cos, nice to see you back here.
no, i mainly just went from being very active to not very, and haven't ever been able to get it off once it came on
bye cos
not leaving! just brb :)
Oh see, you sound very active to me. Running and rock climbing and such.
Not to forget the kick boxing. : D
well, i was till i got this job! not so much now, but hopefully once i get used to getting up at 5:30am i will be able to start up again
Oh bless you. It's all I can do to get up at 5:30 to get to work on time. There is no way I could make that "work out time".
well i got done at 4 or sooner, but i've been going home and dropping to sleep by 8
yay! fireworks!!!!
congrats dan!
No way I could go to sleep by 8PM. I have too much to do in the evenings.
happy day happydan!
i cant sleep if theres any semblance of sunlight
well thus far 8pm has been the point where the sun is gone, but that will change soon enough
I'm like that too Cos. But even in the winter, 8PM would mean laundry didn't get done, the kitchen didn't get cleaned up and various and sundry other things were left undone.
hmmm help with up6 please? ive seen a clue and it makes no sense :)

By the way, congratulations to all the finishers! Way to go!
hi min

the young un-hyped up randy travis. . .
I was thinking sober and with his clothes on
same thing
Not really a Randy Travis fan. Don't listen to country music.
anyone want to clue me an 8 for nbs?
really?
I like some country music.. not all..but some
the 8's are horrible jm
i listen to pretty much everything except "american is perfect and everyone else is terrible" music
one is to do housework and add a robot ending
ch 8
another is a variation of that
i have that as a 7. . .
ch 8/55 is ch 5/14 plus a robotic ending. Second one is the same but change a vowel. ch 8/50 is plural of the ch 7/36.
ch + celestial hunter/s
dang it is an 8 too. . .
the ic 8 is scratch the ic* + the end of the word describing a lover
ty torgie
Hello torgone! How are you doing? Welcome to the puzzle.

Hello penquis! How are you doing? Welcome to the puzzle!
Hello KnightTime!How are you doing? Welcome to chat log
hi min...
hello, doing fine
can i get a clue for my last ch word?....it's the first ch 6/27...
bright metal
That first ch 6/27 is same as the one that follows, change vowel at the end penquis.
duh...thanks!
yw
Just a quick visit before lunch - thanks for your story Min - got quite a few words from it - and for the 1st ch 6 / 27 clued just now :)
i need to get to bed...still have di6/39. di 6/27 and di 5/22....hellllp!
di 6 / 27 - similar to city in N England, where babbler lilliann lives. But change the first vowel.
di 5/22 what you eat with "dravy"
Or di + consonant + pig meat
di 5/22 word is female country group The Di*ie Chicks plus he, she ** penquis. I do not have the di6/27 word. So Sorry
D's Dabbled! 3 left
di 6 /39 - di + what we breathe + Freudian term
Or for what we breathe, think male cow
A's Abated! 2 left
Does anybody have a clue for the ch 7/60 word yet please?
got them all but the 5/22....still thinking....
di 5/22 word has the 6 point tile in the middle of the word.=
YES!....I am done!
thanks for all the help
Congratulations penquis on your fireworks! Hooray for you
:oD
Can you please clue the ch7/60 word for me,pretty please
goodnight all...
what you buff the car with (use high value ending)
Goodbye penquis! I'll see you tomorrow in the chog maybe.
Out of the 75 babblers online there has to be at least ONE who can clue that ch 7/60 word for me. PRETTT PLEASE!
start with the ch4, and then add 2 vowels and high value letter - it is an animal skin used to buff cars
Hi again :)
Hello Lizlin!How are you doing? Welcome back to the chog
Back for my last 20 words
Did you get that ch 7 word?
Thank you for the ch 7/60 clue Knight Time! I just found it
C's Clobbered! 1 left
Knight Time, do you have a clue for the op 6/24 word yet?
I'd also like that one!
drug
ty Knight :)
i hope your profile is a joke knight
there'
Yeah, I saw that clue before but cannot figure out spelling
there's nothing funny about being 16 trillion dollars in debt
Robot ending, Min
hi all.
Hi mkg :)
Hello mkg! How are you doing today? Welcome to the chog
op + vowel + robot ending
Thanks for that op 6/24 clue Knight Time and Lizlin! FWs!
Congrats Min :)
the former
Going to bed soon,but will give last minute clues if needed
dr 5 / 12 please - probably very obvious but can't find it!
VYCanisMajoris - my profile is not a joke. THe former, the latter, all in between.
yikes
maybe you'll get it soon that money is the actual core problem
Don't sweat it VYCanisMajoris, you don't even know me.
No VYCanisMajoris- evil is the core problem
you're right, i don't but you state "I am.." as tho it belonged to you as part of your identity. i know a little about you
which is caused by..?
social unfairness of a few controlling and hijacking all the wealth at the expense of the vast majority
Not the place to argue. Pay the money to have your own profile, then you can put what ever you want. The chog is not for this type of discussion
right so instead of solving threatening problems, we'll retain the etiquette of a word game which has no bearing on anything but general nicety and exchange pleasantries
have a nice evening. Light up another bowl and enjoy yourself. signing off now.
the world is a problem and you appear to be one of them knight, later
sampled it once with a group of friends, problem?
already you're wrong
i would love clues for the 8s please.
ic 5 - leads to the 8 - ic + chair letter + either or
if not then clue for the one t word and one x word.
Sorry, just gave the ending for that!!!
ti 6 / 21 - not messy
xi + the acid balance of a pool + robot ending
ty for ic and the 8. got both.
acid balance of a pool = 2 letters sound like f
ty got t word
yw
That dr 5/12 word is dr plus the vowel plus he, she II Lizlin
i am clueless on acid balance
Thanks min - found it.
Look at 11.09 clue, mkg
acid balance - dipthong that sounds like "f"
ty got x.
