re 7/9/10/8 clue: to offer a glass slipper role, the take it back.

That would be the 9 and 10, he who offers the glass slipper, and takes it back. (ick, I hate getting a clue wrong)

It's a humorous clue, at least I hope it is...

12:18 am

it's libbyrating malon

If there's a Mureen playing, your name is in the grid (:

12:18 am

it may be humorous... i'll let you know when my monkeys are laughing

GREETINGS FRIENDS :)

1:12 am

Hi all

1:12 am

sera

1:12 am

seen

1:12 am

Hi Dianne

1:13 am

sorry about that

1:13 am

and hello all.

1:14 am

hugs and Hi Rose and congrats too

1:15 am

*giggle* thanx dear. how is everyone in your neck of the woods? sis still okay?

1:15 am

no need to be Di--I like freebies like that

1:15 am

all is okay

1:15 am

yeah but i could have tried to give you a seven - that would be a good freebie :)

1:16 am

How about you Rose

1:16 am

that's great, pugs. and no headache for you?

1:16 am

Ready to turn over a new leaf?

1:16 am

Hello all after bridge

1:16 am

I did have earlier but it has eased off now

1:16 am

Hi ya Jilli

1:17 am

doing okay. went and saw the new judi dench film, philomena. came out very cross with the church. had an early lunch with don, then home for a quiet rest.

1:17 am

four X words???

1:17 am

hi everyone

1:18 am

was it bad Rose

1:18 am

g'day, jilli. and lol, pugs, would that mean i would have to behave?

1:18 am

Howdy Flose

1:18 am

oops forgot the y

1:18 am

I want to see that film, rose, are you saying you didn't enjoy the film?

1:18 am

hi flosey, fancy meeting you here

1:18 am

cooeee flosey. pugs, the story line was really sad. i boohooed a bit.

1:18 am

if you feel you need to Rose--lol

1:19 am

lol, fancy that

1:19 am

why didnt the church like it Rose

1:20 am

flosey, it's a great film, but the story is about how nuns sold children born out of wedlock, without their mothers permission. it is the story of one of those mothers trying to fine her baby.

1:20 am

Flosey, I saw Philomena on Dec 27 and found it very powerful. I can see why rose was mad at the church. The acting was magnificent by everyone.

1:20 am

flosey, got an extra piece of that pie? it does look good :)

1:21 am

judi dench carried the film i think.

1:21 am

Hi again :)

1:21 am

It is a true story.

1:21 am

all gone now pugs, but plenty of the mince preserved

1:22 am

Hello Mrs Liz and thanks for the e-mail

1:22 am

Hi Liz

1:22 am

I can believe that rose, as judi does

1:22 am

i know, flosey, which is what makes me so cross. no mother and her child should go through that sort of experience.

1:22 am

I will definitely be seeing it

1:22 am

where did it happen at Rose

1:22 am

It's a film I want to see, along with the butler.

1:23 am

it's a three tissue movie, flosey. be warned

1:23 am

yes, want to see the butler too

1:23 am

I'll take the whole box

1:23 am

I missed seeing the Butler here. Our little theatre doesn't keep films long.

1:23 am

Liz are you talking about the film with OW

1:23 am

it begins in ireland, goes to america, then back to ireland.

1:24 am

OW?

1:25 am

oprah Win.

1:26 am

I think so - just know a bit about the movie and want to see it.

1:26 am

nice to see the goose again

1:26 am

I would like to see that too

1:27 am

Clue for ex 7 puhleeze.

1:27 am

Xe! Autocorrect.

1:27 am

btw, lunch was yummy, pugs. my appetite has been down because of the pain...it makes me feel sick. so when i do have an appetite, i want something nice. i can't believe i ate it all. 2 poached eggs on so4 dough toast, a pork sausage, bacon, hash brown,a tomato, grilled, and field mushrooms done in butter. i probably wont eat until tomorrow now.

1:28 am

liz, go diagonally down for your 3rd letter, then plural

1:28 am

Glad you fancied some food, Rose. A real Aussie fry up by the sound of it!

1:28 am

sounds real nice Rose-All good things for the body

1:29 am

lol, liz, only thing missing was the prawns...

1:29 am

if you are not eating and taking meds, that could cause you to be sick at your tummy too Rose

1:30 am

Nope! Not seeing that xe 7 - can you give me a bit more pls?

1:31 am

yeah, i know, pugs. i try and eat something before i take my meds. and don and i are wanting crunchy food, ie salad

1:31 am

Found it! Thanks!

1:31 am

HAPPY NEW YEAR to all Babblers. xoxo

1:31 am

To you to Diz! Not long now!

1:31 am

liz, it's the plural of your last xe5, xe + ***t forms on metal when exposed to damp and air.

1:32 am

Happy New Year to you Diz and everyone else too

1:32 am

hey ya, diz

1:32 am

Yes suddenly realised it must build from that word.

1:33 am

are all the x words from those letters

1:33 am

yay you, liz, nice work

1:34 am

Had to go to morewords for those x words. The only one I knew was xenon, which doesn't count so I gave up.

1:34 am

Ive been having a craving for peaches and cottage cheese

1:34 am

Ooh, pugs, are you preggers?

1:34 am

*giggle* it's almost like being pregnant...and no!! i am not. last night i really craved steak...the one we had was delicious.

1:34 am

No problem with that, Jilli.

1:35 am

sometimes it is so difficult to figure how the word comes together. I typed in the person who needs to confess but couldn't see how became a word in the grid.

1:35 am

Rose, have you been watching Coast Australia?

1:35 am

so did you get you some Rose? (steak that is--oh and beef at that)

1:35 am

penitent?

1:36 am

pugs, the first one, xe + *orth, not south + not them but you and me, the two of **

1:36 am

and thanks for that, dianne, lol! It jumped out at me.

1:37 am

yes on both accounts, pugs

1:37 am

Jilli - I guess we all are.

1:37 am

You see what I mean about the plural?

1:37 am

no, liz, is it good? himself hogs the remote, so i usually only get to watch what he wants to see

1:37 am

I did not need all that imfo Rose--lol

1:37 am

So They say, Dianne...

1:38 am

Dianne, I did that from the clues with the re 7,9,10,8!

1:38 am

those re words are very twisty.

1:38 am

I see, Dianne -- frustrating

1:39 am

this really is a twisty grid. Thanks for the hint on the re words - not there yet, still on the s's.

1:39 am

Yes it's excellent. Used to watch it in England. Next week it's Mornington to Port Campbell.

1:39 am

I hat3e loathe and detest re words, almost as I hate loathe and detest the need for all those passwords now.

1:41 am

*almost as much. Typo time = bedtime :(

1:41 am

Sleep well Jilli :)

1:42 am

night, jilli. hope you rest well, dear

1:42 am

good night Jilli

1:42 am

But I'm not even close to nbt so must try a bit more

1:42 am

oops, a bit premature were we...okay jilli, apologgies, dear. nice to have you stay a bit longer

1:43 am

If I can help ...

1:43 am

But Rose will help better!

1:43 am

ditto jilli, but i know you like to have a go on your own first.

1:43 am

Jilli---are you or were you a bus driver?

1:44 am

not yet, thanks, liz -- gotta look a bit harder through the haze

1:44 am

awww, shucks liz. you say the nicest things.

1:44 am

never, pug -- why???

1:44 am

well you got a bus as a Icon and part of your name is bus

1:45 am

and where's the ruru and dee gone? did they leave, and i missed saying goodnight?

1:45 am

ooh, I like that cr 4/7 word, lol. Describes the bridge hands I had tonight.

1:45 am

Ru said he was taking a break and I dont know about Dee

1:45 am

Lol

1:46 am

oh, dear, jilli. that bad, dear?

1:46 am

woa, cr 4 has a pl!

1:46 am

lolol, yes jilli

1:46 am

Suits all the bridge hands then!

1:47 am

Rose did you have any luck in getting any word from Joso

1:47 am

*whoa

1:47 am

not yet, pugs. i will try again later tonight.

1:48 am

oh haha -- du 4/6 works too, lol!

1:48 am

cu8 and du8 very strange words

1:48 am

oh, jilli, did you see the new photos of the grandkiddies?

1:49 am

no, rose -- got here too late, I guess

1:49 am

that's what i thought flosey. didn't know that you could put that ending on them.

1:50 am

not too late, dear. if you like, they are in my profile.

1:51 am

Could you clue the cu and du 8 pls?

1:51 am

yes PLEASE

1:52 am

liz, add the more of ending to cu6 and du6

1:52 am

starts with cu5, 6, 8 and the du

1:52 am

cu6, put a nasty spell on

1:52 am

the du is du4, 6, 8

1:52 am

Just trying that!

1:53 am

the cu---to fix something?

1:53 am

du6, du + Royal Navy + abbreviation for nespaper chief

1:53 am

no pugs, think swearing

1:54 am

cu6, cu + *e*t, take it easy + abbreviation for newspaper chief

1:54 am

Def weird words. Wouldn't have thought to try them. Thanks :)

1:55 am

in ozland, we say darned...

1:55 am

Didn't work with the wrong-doer!

1:55 am

ty--had the one but not the other

1:55 am

UK too!

1:56 am

n eeds

1:56 am

and du4, is the alternative spelling of darn. so there! ;-)

1:56 am

we say darned too but know some say it differently elsewhere.

1:57 am

rose -- you have gorgeous grandkids!

1:58 am

Rose, do you have a pic of you and all your kids together

2:00 am

do all the en words come from the drink for older people?

2:00 am

Stats for the lower s in the 5th column pls. Can't believe 94 words left and I just noticed that!

2:00 am

thanx jilli. i think so too, but i am biased. no, pugs. my eldest boy wants nothing to do with me. i don't know why...i have a feeling it was because of his father.

2:01 am

you are way ahead of me Liz

2:01 am

so4/5, 5/25, 6/21

2:01 am

hope he comes around before he lives to regret it, rose

2:01 am

It's not about speed pugs. Just about fun :)

2:01 am

first is a french coin, build on it

2:01 am

Ty rose

2:02 am

So5 - my uncle u

2:02 am

does he have kids that you dont get to see

2:02 am

Did herrings like that!

2:02 am

flosey, i am way past caring...i do weep for my son, but as the beautiful young man he was, not this embittered adult.

2:03 am

fortunately not pugs.

2:03 am

How sad, rose.

2:03 am

yes, very sad

2:03 am

Perhaps he'll get over it Rose. It's his loss too.

2:04 am

is he like that towards the other family members too

2:04 am

it is sad, jilli. and he doesn't seem to care either. maybe his new lady will make him think differently. she looks very sweet, kind and gentle.

2:04 am

Hope so.

2:05 am

pugs, he is very erratic in his attitude to his brothers, and family members on his father's side. my side, he totally ignores.

2:06 am

hey, look on the bright side, i have 2 very loving and attentive sons. one of whom brings me the joy of grandchildren. i can't complain.

2:07 am

thats a shame Rose---did he come to your mothers funneral or the boxing day

2:08 am

Is he the eldest son or what?

2:08 am

he came to the hospital the day she died, and to the funeral. not boxing day, which is such a shame...it is such a fun time.

2:09 am

yes jilli, he is the eldest.

2:09 am

Sorry for butting in..... Rose, your pics are fab! Has anybody else remarked how similar your Don is to Crossy & Joso? Seriously, together they would be The Three Bears!

2:09 am

Hadn't thought about that but you're so right, Soodle.

2:09 am

lolol, soodle...i know....and if we had a pic of ruru, i think maybe we might have the four bears...

2:10 am

Jilli didnt you go to your son's for x-mas

2:10 am

grrr dtr (33) blames me for her bi polar, and says I should have had her tested when she was younger....oh derr it is not a blood test to determine it. Have read a lot the past few weeks on the subject.

2:10 am

Well, rose, at least you have two other sons. Thank goodness my only son, my only offspring, is friendly.

2:10 am

who was it who went and saw the ruru?

2:11 am

And your Grands are adorable. That Braxton has a wicked twinkle in his eye.

2:11 am

Iam thinking Flosey Rose

2:11 am

poor diz...it so sad when our offspring unfairly blame us for their problems.

2:11 am

I saw ruru. He is not a bear. And yes, pug, I went to my son and his family for Xmas -- lovely.

2:11 am

I think Braxton kind of favers you Rose

2:12 am

darn, flosey, was rather hoping he was a cuddly teddy.

2:12 am

sorry, jilli

2:12 am

was the traviling bad? I know you were a bit worried about it before you left

2:12 am

maybe around the mouth...

2:14 am

especially when he cries...which he doesn't do very often. he is a very placid baby, just like his daddy.

2:16 am

He is a pretty baby thats for sure

2:17 am

pug, the travelling was interesting and a bit hilarious. It was all n the daylight, but there's a new highway my GPS didn't know about and onto which I inadvertently went. So here was "Felicity" (the name I call the voice) completely at sea and recalculating all the time, with the map showing my car in a blank space. Fortunately I had my iPhone with Google Maps up to date, and a book of maps too which showed the projected highway and I was able to figure it all out.

2:18 am

I have now updated the GPS!

2:18 am

LOL Jilli--glad you made there

2:18 am

please remind me not to go ne4 the nasty old man in the study. he is trying to make a watchable dvd of MIL's funeral. the funeral directors gave us a dvd, made from security camera footage. it really is appalling. but this dvd is going overseas to scotland to MIL's family there. and as usual, don wants it to be perfect.

2:19 am

oh dear, rose!

2:20 am

well its keeping him busy for the time

2:20 am

oh, jilli. we have the same problem here. only we call our GPS FRED, Flaming Ridiculous Electronic Device.

2:20 am

finally fished those darn s words.

2:21 am

lolol rose!

2:21 am

yay, you, dianne. well done

2:22 am

why do the gps's get f names? My friend calls her frankie--lol

2:23 am

Sorry ours is just called sattie - in uk it's called a sat nav, not gps

2:23 am

Felicity seemed like a happy name, and I chose a Brit female voice.

2:23 am

B

2:23 am

Good choice Jilli.

2:24 am

ty liz

2:26 am

lol, pugs we are trying to avoid the 'f' bomb?

2:27 am

lol--is that it?

2:27 am

I still have 3 bt -- help would be welcome for the E in the midde column, and the I and lower S on the right. Probably should know them but I'm half asleep.

2:31 am

g'day peri. are you well tonight?

2:31 am

bye Jilli

2:31 am

aww, just read your post. you poor girl.

2:32 am

goodnight, jilli. rest well, dear

2:32 am

hi Peri, sorry you got the nasty flu

2:32 am

Wish you better peri.

2:33 am

thanks all

2:33 am

Sleep well jilli

2:33 am

the doctors have been immunising us against influenza B, but this year influenza A has taken off.

2:38 am

Rose, I really like the cal. you sent me. I got it right above my computer :)

2:40 am

awww, pugs. so glad you like it.

2:40 am

I do and I can see the # very well too

2:42 am

did Liz leave without saying bye

2:42 am

being able to see the numbers is always good.

2:42 am

Still here.

2:42 am

pugs, i think she is babbling in the background.

2:42 am

Trying to find more words before I list.

2:42 am

see???

2:43 am

Right :)

2:43 am

72 left! Long way to go!

2:43 am

you are doing well, liz

2:43 am

there she is! :)

2:43 am

I've got nearly double that to find.

2:44 am

I thought you had left

2:44 am

I wouldn't go without saying bye!

2:44 am

are you feeling well Liz--you are awful quiet tonight

2:45 am

Using the iPad, so tend to chat less.

2:45 am

gooo dianne

2:45 am

Thanks for caring :)

2:46 am

Are you and don having a quiet evening, Rose?

2:46 am

renen

2:46 am

yw Liz-----Rose how is the swelling? Any better now

2:48 am

Iam listening to instrumental music and they are playing Tammy's in Love---I like that tune

2:48 am

Sounds nice, pugs.

2:49 am

have you ever heard it or seen the movie( its a old movie)

2:49 am

Fraud not, pugs.

2:49 am

Afraid!

2:50 am

pugs, when i wear the stockings, just the top of my feet appear swollen. so all good. and the nasty old man has just emerged from the study. he is reasonably happy with the dvd now. phew!!

2:50 am

maybe sometime when you got time you can go to tinyurl and hear it

2:50 am

thats good Rose(on both accounts)

2:51 am

liz, we usually do have a quiet evening. pretty much past the cheering, count-down etc. but i do like the fireworks from the harbour bridge.

2:52 am

can you see them from your home

2:52 am

Plan to watch that too. Usually with friends but not this year, so having a romantic meal, bubbles later and we got some sparklers!

2:53 am

Will also watch the London fireworks tomorrow.

2:53 am

lolol, no pugs. i am referring to the fireworks in sydney...about 560 miles from where we live.

2:54 am

liz, did you see the edinburgh tattoo?

2:54 am

oh so a tv show of it then?

2:55 am

No, Rose.

2:55 am

usually a live broadcast, if not can see it the next day.

2:55 am

so you got bubbles and sparklers for you and don too

2:55 am

you guys get new year first

2:56 am

Yes pugs. In Queensland they show it at midnight, which is an hour later than Sydney BUT they pretend it's live!!!

2:56 am

very disappointing. they had 3 asian bands/dance troupes performing...completely lost the 'flavour' of the moment.

2:56 am

That's a shame. It's usually good.

2:56 am

lolol, liz...you are so naughty...

2:57 am

;)

2:58 am

the new zealand band was great, as were all the other bands.

2:58 am

we had a small show yesterday and the temps have fallen into the 20's

2:58 am

Just different, then.

2:58 am

I meant snow

2:59 am

pugs, have already had our bubbles, no sparklers....

3:00 am

well its not NY yet---so can that count?

3:00 am

yes, liz. not su4 what they were trying to achieve. i want precision marching, and lots of bag-pipes.

3:00 am

I've never seen sparklers on sale here before. You can buy fireworks inEngland.

3:01 am

4 hours to new years .

3:01 am

liz, you can buy sparklers. not the fireworks. you ne4 a permit to use them.

3:01 am

are you staying up to watch it come in

3:02 am

Ah! OK, so seriously though I thought you meant the bands were sub-standard. I see what you mean though. Just away from tradition!

3:02 am

not me...drugs get me down...ne4 my pillow well before 12 midnight.

3:02 am

5 hours here! We hope to stay up but if we don't it doesn't matter!

3:03 am

Might watch the fireworks in bed. It also depends on what noise is coming from other houses in the street!

3:03 am

23 hours here

3:03 am

you ladies sound like old people--lol

3:03 am

It funny - I used to watch the Sydney fireworks in the morning, when I lived in England!

3:04 am

yes, liz. away from tradition. cannot see how dragons etc are a part of a scottish celebration.

3:04 am

Bed isn't just for old people!

3:04 am

They aren't unless they're celtic dragons!

3:05 am

3:06 am

3:06 am

Yay! He's opening the bubbles~

3:06 am

3:06 am

Love dragons - have you seen sprite's puzzles on jigidi? But agree Chinese dragons are not Scottish!

3:07 am

3:20 am

yes, and fortunately, they all start with r

3:21 am

LOL---r you s4

3:24 am

Top Gun star and pt

3:25 am

do you have fws on this OO

3:26 am

yep

3:26 am

not much jibberwacky in this one

3:26 am

good for you!

3:28 am

it all looks jibberwacky until you find the words(and is jibberwacky a word or is it your word)

3:28 am

Has been awhile since a grid had no t

3:29 am

thats true but I never thought of that until you said so

and this grid has only one no word letter. the right corner i . usually at least 5-6 letters will be 'blank'

3:32 am

The UW researchers used pseudowords, or what Berninger calls "jibberwacky," which are similar to the nonsense syllables in Lewis Carroll's poem "Jabberwocky."

3:35 am

I will have to look that poem up and read it

3:36 am

Twas bryllyg, and ye slythy toves Did gyre and gymble in ye wabe: All mimsy were ye borogoves; And ye mome raths outgrabe.

3:39 am

I take it that ,that is the poem and I got no ideal what it is talking about

3:41 am

Part of it ... ought to be of interest to those that are adamant that Enable only accepts made up words

3:42 am

Of course, all words were made up. Language started from scratch ...

3:44 am

thats true OO---Iam taking from the last line that the mom's wrath (not sure of the last word outgrabe)

3:44 am

but it dont sound good-lol

3:47 am

“When I use a word," Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone, "it means just what I choose it to mean - neither more nor less.” ~ Lewis Carroll

3:49 am

Wiki says: "Jabberwocky" is considered one of the greatest nonsense poems written in English. Its playful, whimsical language has given English nonsense words and neologisms such as "galumphing" and "chortle"

3:51 am

With such arrogance, I think Humpty got his just desserts.

3:52 am

good morning all

3:52 am

Nah - he just got his words scrambled

3:52 am

hi sprite

3:53 am

Morning Sprite! hugs

3:53 am

have you chortled today?

3:53 am

High, sprite

3:54 am

we are jibberwhacky talking this mornong

3:54 am

hi jwr! Hi pugs *hugs* High, o-o :)

3:54 am

morning (sorry button stuck)

3:54 am

so I see... love it :)

3:55 am

do you have any jibberwhacky

3:56 am

brb coffee

3:56 am

lots of it, but most of it dutch, lol

3:57 am

phantom: pococurante

3:58 am

lacking gravitas

3:59 am

oh what a fun word! I want to remember this one.

4:00 am

apathetic: uninterested, indifferent, or nonchalantly detached apathetic person: somebody who is uninterested, indifferent, or nonchalantly detached

4:01 am

There are days I am neither for nor against apathy

4:01 am

not the best of days, I bet

4:02 am

not too bad ... like one of my treatment team member told me, may as make the most of my pity parties

4:03 am

may as well make

4:03 am

good advice. When you do have one, enjoy it while it lasts. You don't strike me as someone who often has them ;_)

4:03 am

that smiley went haywire. It was a simple wink ;)

4:04 am

back and you changed your Icon OO

4:05 am

How are you doing, pugs

4:06 am

hey, your profile text makes me realise that I have collected a whole babble dictionary of pseudowords in mine!

4:06 am

better mentaly then yesterday---I was just mentally drained yesterday. Today I can push it all to the back burner and thanks OO for caring

4:07 am

Great, pugs

4:07 am

he had one on about time Sprite and it gave you something to think about

4:08 am

I detest having pity parties! :(

4:08 am

o-o's profile texts are always worthwhile

4:09 am

I know! Though there are a few I dont get or understand

4:09 am

a pity party is great to get the stress off your emotional state. And after, we need to kick ourselves under our arses and get moving again.

4:09 am

Your are a person of value, pugs ... tell yourself that and believe it

4:10 am

amen to that, o-o

4:10 am

I hope you dont mind OO, but when I first come on babble I go to who's online and check you out for the daily quote to ponder

4:11 am

thank you both! I value both of yours frienship very much

4:11 am

and I value yours, pug.

4:11 am

So Sprite how was date night?

4:11 am

how is everyone doing with the grid?

4:12 am

lovely! Fun cabaret and my love and I very much enjoyed spending time together.

4:12 am

to me its kind of hard

4:12 am

hiya Dianne. Just started. 70 words in so far.

4:12 am

thats so nice for you guys

4:13 am

I have 16 left and they are all R words including 8, 9 ^ 10 ugh

4:13 am

doesn't look like an easy one to me either.

4:13 am

There have been easier ones.

4:14 am

I dont know how many times my brain wants to spell scissors

4:14 am

yeah and circumcise, for some strange reason. No M anywhere but still.

4:14 am

You want a clue let me know, Dianne

4:15 am

Im down to 102

4:15 am

do the 8, 9 & 10 work off each other?

4:16 am

Sprite what movie did you go see

4:16 am

we didn't go to the movies, pug, but to the theater. It was cabaret. Very funny and nice.

4:16 am

re 7/36; 9/66; 10/84/ and 8/50

4:17 am

oh---LOL--I was thinking that cabaret was a drink

4:17 am

there is a ra 8/50 too

4:17 am

oh lol :) No, let me check, I probably am using the wrong word

4:18 am

thanks - got the ra8 but none of the re that you listed.

4:18 am

its probably me not you Sprite

4:18 am

legal term that is extended

4:20 am

for example, to make a contract nonbinding

4:20 am

pug, it is a floor show that is funny and sometimes satirical.

4:20 am

thanks o-o

4:21 am

sorry I took that in the wrong way :)

4:21 am

o.k. now I have the re7/8 combo. thnaks.

4:21 am

and then the person(s) who, Dianne

4:22 am

I absolutely love you both ! ! Thanks

4:22 am

no problem, pug :D No need for sorry.

4:23 am

yvw Dianne :)

4:26 am

du 4/6; 6/27; 8/55 and 5/14

4:28 am

the 8 is a doosey

4:28 am

Sprite are you still having trouble with your legs and feet

4:29 am

ah, thanks o-o, it indeed is.

4:30 am

still the same, pug. Some days worse than others. Good that you remind me, lol, let me call the doctor's. See if they work today.

4:30 am

Rose says shes doing better with her swelling

4:31 am

ci 9/66 has to do with residue .... a in word is probably is one that is familiar as a means of bringing about the residue

4:34 am

the four xe words a new visitors to the grid for me

4:34 am

lol...no news yet... lab results have been in for days, but the wrong doctor has checked them out and she didn't understand why I had the blood tested. And my own doctor won't be there until thursday.

4:35 am

that is good news, pug, about rose. I emailed her yesterday, haven't heard back yet.

4:35 am

for me too, o-o.

4:36 am

are you guys going to stay up to watch the NY come in

4:36 am

I likely will be up but not because of a new year

4:36 am

probably. Both our children are away to celebrate with friends. It is just me and my love. We secretly like it ;)

4:37 am

will think of you then, o-o, and wishing for many light moments in the year to come

4:38 am

Well friends I am leaving 4 words for tomorrow and am going to go make a nice new year's even dinner for us. Wishing you all the very best.

4:38 am

days are like grid words .. one by one until there are no more

4:38 am

Iam going to do what zoom says his mother does--open one door to let the old year out and open the other to let the new in

4:38 am

bye Dianne, have a good one. Best wishes for the new Year for you and yours.

4:38 am

oh nice, pug!

4:38 am

Be well, Dianne

4:38 am

bye Dianne enjoy

4:40 am

Couldn't sleep.....back for a few more. Before I forget....HAPPY NEW YEAR!

4:40 am

OO how many years have you been doing these grids

4:40 am

Hi Peach and Happy New Year to you

4:41 am

I must go out soon and do the shopping... Rob is at work. Am kind of tense about it... they are blasting away with fireworks already allover and I am so scared of fireworks.

4:41 am

hiya peach! A happy new year to you too. Sorry you can't sleep. Nice to see you though.

4:41 am

cant you have it deleivered to your house Sprite

4:42 am

Thanks much, sprite. Be careful if you do go out.

4:42 am

no sweetie. We have only one firm that delivers in the netherlands and it is booked full weeks in advance.

4:42 am

I will, peach. Gathering my courage while babbling :)

4:42 am

re7-36 the 2nd please.....thanks

4:43 am

well just remember the advice OO gave the other day and prepare before going

4:44 am

and I will pray for you that you get there and back with out mishap

4:44 am

I will. A few more words until halfway and then I will go and get it behind me.

4:45 am

How are you Peach besides not being able to sleep

4:45 am

Trying to keep warm. Our weather is very weird.

4:46 am

If you dont have a car Sprite, how do you get all your things home? You got a red wagon to pull? :)

4:46 am

I do have a car, but the shops are nearby. I will go by bike I think.

4:47 am

lol @ the red wagon.

4:47 am

we had snow yesterday and a drop in temps and I guess by the news we got colder temps coming and a few winter storms

4:47 am

wow, nasty weather, pug :(

4:47 am

so you got a BIG basket on your bike then

4:48 am

two bike bags on the back, pug. We shop almost daily so we don't ne4 a lot at once.

4:49 am

my closest store is about 15 miles away

4:49 am

there... over halfway at last. Not an easy grid. I am off for now, before the fireworks get worse. *hugs* to you all. My very very best wishes for you all in the new year.

4:50 am

hurry back and put earplugs in

4:50 am

oh and bye

4:50 am

and the same to you Sprite

4:51 am

are you having snow and cold temps Peach

4:52 am

No snow, pugs. But had a cold and rainey night and day....cleared up some, but more rain and cold is in the forcast.

4:53 am

I hope you dont get ice there--that stuff is wicked

4:55 am

We don't get snow very often and that's a good thing because we aren't prepared to salt or sand the roads.....so when the first snow flake falls everything closes down. It blew my mind when I moved here from KY, I was used to going to work and school whatever the weather. LOL

4:58 am

anyone have sc8-50 please....thanks

4:58 am

thats how it was for me too----unless the state closed the roads we went to work. I remember once it was so foggy , my sister(we worked at the same place) had to hold the door open as I crawled along to watch for the white line to make sure I didnt go off the road--lol

4:59 am

Oh, wow!

5:00 am

I dont have the 8 peach

5:04 am

Thanks anyway, puglet.

5:05 am

Well, I was able to find two more words and eyelids are droopy....think I'll try to get to sleep. Blessings.

5:05 am

Iam going to take a break from this and I wish you Peach and OO and all others A Happy New Year

5:05 am

6:53 am

9:55 am

anxiously awaiting

9:55 am

The kings will lose your old address. No star will flare up to impress. The ear may yield, under duress, to blizzards’ nagging roar. The shadows falling off your back, you’d snuff the candle, hit the sack, for calendars more nights can pack than there are candles for. What is this? Sadness? Yes, perhaps. A little tune that never stops. One knows by heart its downs and ups. May it be played on par with things to come, with one’s eclipse, as gratefulness of eyes and lips for what occasionally keeps them trained on something far. And staring up where no cloud drifts because your sock’s devoid of gifts you’ll understand this thrift: it fits your age; it’s not a slight. It is too late for some breakthrough, for miracles, for Santa’s crew. And suddenly you’ll realize that you yourself are a gift outright. _ Josef Broadsky

9:56 am

ma 4/ i have the name for a horse what is the other one please?

Hello bichon! I see you that are from CT. I am in CT now.

hi all, wtg peri, and nbt

3:17 pm

Where in CT Min? I'm in Middletown, center of the state

3:17 pm

I am in Goshen, Connecticut with my niece and nephew.

3:18 pm

Hello Book Doctor Gwen!How are you?Welcome to the log

3:18 pm

I think that's in far western CT, not really near me.

3:20 pm

Are you close to Hartford, CT? I drive through Hartford to go to Vermont Bichon.

3:20 pm

my brother used to live in Cromwell...

takin' a lazy day today, fer sher

3:21 pm

That's the town right north of Middletown

3:21 pm

Yes, not that far south of Hartford

3:21 pm

yes, i know... i have been there...

3:23 pm

bichon, we should meet up one day when I am on my way to Vermont. I've always wanted to meet a fellow babbler

3:24 pm

How do you drive, by I84? If so, you can take 691 to I91 North and be right next to Middletown

3:26 pm

I take 84 to 91.I probably won't make another trip to VT until Spring or Summer. Or we could meet halfway between me and you.Don't know where that would be

3:28 pm

Probably the best place is a rest stop off I 84 in Southington. I know there is a truck rest stop there and wouldn't take you out of your way.

3:36 pm

Bich and Min and the truckers. Woo hoo! : )

3:37 pm

We'll Babble on our phones and cause an uproar

3:37 pm

There is a country western song in this, I'm sure of it.

3:39 pm

We'll have some great stories for the chog

3:39 pm

Hello MollyL! How are you doing today? Welcome to chog.

3:42 pm

ghost word: A word that has never occurred in actual usage but that appears in one or more dictionaries, usually because of a lexicographical or typographical error.

3:45 pm

Bichon,I'd actually be willing to get off the interstate if it meant NOT having to stop at a truck stop. I can think of much nicer places for a mini-babble meetup.

3:51 pm

Where Min?

3:54 pm

Don't know Southington very well, but I am sure there is a restaurant of cafe somewhere that we could meet at.

3:55 pm

I'm giving up with 161 words.Time to do a story of clues.

3:56 pm

Probably, I'll look on Google maps. Won't be for a few months, right?

3:58 pm

Definitely!We could do it on a weekend.Maybe during my February break.Have a whole week off at the end of February.Maybe some other New Englanders could join us if they live close near to the Southington area

3:58 pm

... sitting at a truck stop.. just drinkin a beer..I guess it's a brand new year.. I think I might have to go ahead and guzzle.. since I only have 8 hours to finish this puzzle.. yeee hawww

5:30 pm

Hi, Min.

we vowed to party in 2015 likes its 1999!

well i feel guilty because i dont want to go and i have a reservation.

5:34 pm

Oh , TO, sometimes a good weep is therapeutic.

6:12 pm

yw :-)

6:14 pm

hi everyone!

6:14 pm

hi Jen!

6:14 pm

hi uusue2!

6:15 pm

UUSue, sometimes (not often) when I am folding, my cpu goes to 100%, and the only thing I can do it stop it temporarily. I have a quad-core processor, and loads of room. Does that happen to you?

6:17 pm

since I got my new computer it's almost always near 100% although I told folding not to do that - the computer seems to run fine anyway so I haven't bothered with it.

6:17 pm

It does get cranky when the RAM gets near 100% but that usually takes several days of uptime, and I just reboot it. I don't know if that has anything to do with folding anyway.

6:18 pm

Mmm... You answered another question (thank you!) which was, do I have an option to tell them not to run that much. I will go into my options and do that. Normally it's no problem, and it just runs anytime I have the computer on.

6:19 pm

you do have an option to limit it to a certain fraction of CPU but that doesn't seem to work for me any more

6:20 pm

That's because you're the top producer on our team ;) and they are stretching things to the limit! (lol)

6:21 pm

am I? I haven't checked in ages. Cool!

6:21 pm

Pretty sure you are, by a huge margin. Huge.

6:21 pm

Now I can justify keeping my computer on all the time - I'm always getting at the rest of the family to turn unused things off (mostly lights but also the TV)

6:22 pm

ok, now I have to go check :-)

6:23 pm

You are. :)

6:24 pm

So I am. Well, that's a good thing. I'll have to show Frank.

6:25 pm

And I did; he is impressed :-)

6:26 pm

Thank you, by the way, for your service to all of us in that. It was you who clued many of us in and encouraged us to help.

6:27 pm

Ah, nice. Well, it was crossy who set up the Babblers team and got me started.

6:27 pm

Then thanks to crossy too. I need to scoot - beloved will be home soon, and dinner isn't started yet. Happy new year to all, and stay safe!

6:28 pm

10:09 pm

You and Art going out partying?

10:10 pm

10:10 pm

LOL...you hearing all the fireworks there too?

10:13 pm

Yeah, we might go out on the porch if we're still up at midnight.

10:13 pm

I feel like waiting for midnight is like waiting for the flip.

10:14 pm

Well, it is only an hour earlier to do either

10:14 pm

I still have to wait another hour after that for the flip. I will not make it for the flip. Can barely make it to 12am.

10:14 pm

it's an hour after the flip for us, minver

10:14 pm

our flip is at 11:00 pm

10:15 pm

I think I would prefer to have flip first. That way I could start grid while waiting for the ball to drop. Lucky you!

10:16 pm

good point minv

10:16 pm

Jillyjill,I LOVE artichoke dip!I made it for Christmas Eve.

10:16 pm

10:17 pm

Hello bleugirl! How are you doing? Welcome to the puzzle

10:18 pm

The de76/32 word is the person who de 6/21s something

10:18 pm

I made the mistake of making it with nonfat mayo. Not a good idea Jillyjill. The artichoke dip didn't taste as good.

10:19 pm

the re10 is the pl of someone who breaks a promise

10:19 pm

Thx min. I typed those in before but I guess they didn't register

10:19 pm

I do mine with a mix of mayo and sour cream

10:19 pm

Jane, think politician!

10:19 pm

I'm going to leave the re's for last....

10:20 pm

An re 10/84 word is plural of the re 9/66 word harpjane.

10:24 pm

10:31 pm

10:34 pm

10:34 pm

Have to get the vegies roasted before I put the prime rib in oven

10:34 pm

10:34 pm

10:34 pm

10:46 pm

10:47 pm

omg.. wow

10:47 pm

My last ride was 75m :)

10:47 pm

(not on a bicycle!!!)

10:47 pm

10:47 pm

Where is it, the ride?

10:47 pm

sounds fun!

10:47 pm

oh.. on a motorcycle?

10:47 pm

Oregon, Jane :)

10:48 pm

Well, 7 are riding motorcycles, I'm riding my scooter, and we have 3 cars (cages)!

10:48 pm

(although, ru, my longest bicylce ride was 80m)

10:48 pm

<-- doesn't do distance cycling anymore :-/

10:48 pm

there's no way I could ride a bike that far

10:49 pm

I think those people are NUTS

10:49 pm

My butt hurts just thinking about it!

10:49 pm

mine too

10:49 pm

I do, too, ru...trust me, I learned my lesson...

10:49 pm

Early Happy New Year's, Babblers! Just saw pics of muse in NYC wearing her blue Nivea hat!

10:49 pm

brrr and why bike that far???

10:49 pm

bicycling is the only way i can get exercise now that i have plantar fasciitis

10:50 pm

it was for MDA, stid...and worth the money raised...

10:50 pm

hi weed :o)

10:50 pm

I had that once too harp. very painful

10:50 pm

(sorry, was giving Grant and his GF worried mama looks as they head out to some friends' for the night -- they will STAY there, not drive home after midnight)

10:50 pm

oh, very worth it! Good for you, Pini!

10:50 pm

I'm getting tired of it but I still believe it's only temporary. I'm going on 10 months though

10:51 pm

(good mama talk, stid!)

10:51 pm

I'm going to try downhill skiing tomorrow. Might be a short day!

10:51 pm

YAY! got an 8!!!!

10:51 pm

Got my last one!

10:51 pm

I had to do the sonic stuff to break it down and lots of therapy

10:52 pm

Can you put arch supports in ski boot>

10:52 pm

?

10:52 pm

...and the fireworks are sending the little guy under the bed...will be an interesting night.

10:52 pm

it's not the arch jilly.. it's the heel

10:52 pm

both ruru

10:52 pm

really?

10:52 pm

I can jilly but the downhill boots might not need them since the foot doesn't move in a downhill boot.

10:52 pm

Mine was the heel

10:53 pm

The downhill boots are just about exactly the neutral position that my night braces are

10:53 pm

I have a cat attatched to my left side...fireworks here too

10:53 pm

the heel is what hurts, ruru -- but for me when I paid attention to my "foot posture" and got the right orthotics for my arch the plantar fasciitis diminished.

10:53 pm

2 left here

10:53 pm

fireworks and ambulance sounds here.

10:53 pm

go harp go!

10:53 pm

I contend that there are only 180 words in this grid.

10:54 pm

YAY jilly!

10:54 pm

hey Jee!

10:54 pm

Hi ya stid

10:54 pm

mine is, most likely, stemming from weak hips, which I have had from birth. I have good orthotics already and still got it. I have knots in my calves the size of walnuts.

10:54 pm

Go Jane!!

10:55 pm

owie, harp. very owie. *offers soft pillows for frets*

10:55 pm

I think my problem is that one leg is just slightly shorter than the other

10:55 pm

Very brave of you to attempt skiing!

10:55 pm

LOL I typed "feets" and it corrected!

10:55 pm
