Thanks, Lickety and hi all :)
flip; hi all. Hi, Liz! Ty, Lickety!
Hi Dee :)
To the gym - BBL
have fun and see you soon!
hi!
and tx Lickety!
Hi, Mel! How are you feeling?
Fantastic! Saw the Cleveland Orchestra this evening, and took myself out for a glass of wine and some foie gras at a brasserie nearby.
Oh, how wonderful! Sounds like a fabulous evening!
hi & bye Lizlin.
Hi All!! NBT/NBS
hi diz! wtg!
All that and when I went to the brasserie I sat at the bar and whatched the Indians clobber the Detroit Tigers AND I met one of the singers from the evening's performance. Way cool.
wow, dizg.
Shalom everyone
Hi, ARB!! Great to see you!
Shalom, ARB!
We were in the States for 5 weeks, visiting family.
Where in the states?
Bellingham Washington 9and Olumpic Peninsula, Vancouver and Seattle), San Francisco and Marin County, Tucson, Chicago
Olympic
Chicago's not that far from me. Hope you had a fantastic time, ARB! Pretty time of year to be here.
It was cold most of the time -- it's been a hard winter. Where do you live, Dee? I was born in Milwaukee; my sister lives in a suburb of Chicago
in northern IN about 2 1/2 hours southeast of Chicago.
SO you too had a hard winter.
We sure did. Didn't have hardly any snow last winter, but this winter we had over 60 inches.
I hibernated the last 5 or so weeks.
hello everyone :)
Help, please with the lone e in the middle column.
Hi, nan!
et6/21
ty tor, looking
that lone E is all that stands between me and nbt, too, VMD.
and hi, tor!
Heyas kids ..
close to the gas, with a changed vowel :)
anyone find a 7?
nope -- looking for one now
I found one that start with a PE
got the middle e, tx (I must have tried every combo BUT that one!)
nbt, nbs
pe 7
7s pe, po & te
ty, erda and diz looking
wtg nan and mel
YW, Dee
nbt nbs
te7 finishes like the lone e, probably another volatile chemical.
ty, mel, great help
I'm stuck on the e in the 3rd row, 2nd column. Do I get a fish ready?
think 1967 montreal
et 6/21 looks like the gas... I couldn't find that one either, til tor helped
et 6, arb -- we've had it many times before
I should have found the po 7 just had that word recently... thx, diz for the 7's!
second column, nan. et6 is third column.
ex4 & 5
oh - sorry - can't read, obviously
ex 5 and ex 4.... ep 4...
I misread, also... ooops
ea 4 ea 6
TY torgone . I kept looking at e and t as the 3rd letter.
calling it a night - 50 for tomorrow :)
sleep well, nan
nite-nite, nan.
nbt nbs
wtg, mel!
only one 7 so far, teh te7
diz said others are pe 7 and po 7
oh, I have the stats from lickety, just can't figure them out.
pe ... pirates of pe... (think spelling might be different, but sounds same)
ah, just saw one. It jumped at me, the pe7.
po 6 and po 7 have to do with distilled whisky - po 7 is alt spelling of po 6 (extra consonant in the middle)... starts with a pan...
thanks Dee, for the 7
yqw
pr 6 before assessment of tarif
OK, nbt, nbs, all the 7s, and > halfway. Mediocrity reclaimed. hitting the hay.

hello, and welcome back
ah great, there is rose! Thought I was all by myself here, lol. *hugs* my darling. How are you? No ill effects from work?
Hi all :)
hi Liz :)
hi liz. ummmm, re work....it was a little stinging coming home, but have since been to physio.....i think i need a strong pain tab. now. *sigh*
am sorry to hear that, rose. *hugs*
Sorry to read that, Rose.
Morning all - again x
Hi worz :)
Morning Sprite, Liz, Mum x
hello worzel
oh, and i met up with a doctori haven't seen for over 20 years. he specialises in chronic pain management. and i said to him, oh good, i need to pick your brains. ( at that point i was having one of my 'glow-in-the-dark' hot spells* he took one look at me, and asked, how long have you had FM?
his other special field is the treatment of FM. i was gob-smacked.
wooooot sounds like a good one for you, rose.
Hope he'll be able to suggest something to help.
he can, liz and sprite. when i see the GP ne4 week i am going to ask for a referral.
Excellent :)
et6/21 clue please? x
awesome, rose. What a gift, meeting him like this
e + not now + vowel
ty sprite x
Hugs and Hi Friends
Hi pugs x
hello dear pug *hugs*
Hi pugs. So happy to read that you got your hours worked out.
he also suggested i look at a site for central sensitivity syndrome. he and his team have developed a way to de-sensitize. i am so excited.
I was having trouble with this server earlier :(
wb pugs
Sounding better and better, Rose.
babble is buggy atm
rose, it sounds great. Am so happy for you that you met this guy.
How is everyone? Iam nervous and have tossed and turned all night and gave up on sleeping-lol
Suspicious me. Suspecting cyber attack based on what Dr G wrote this am.
thanks Liz
What's that Liz about the cyber attack? What did Dr G write?
That one IP address was using a huge amount of band width, so he's blocked that.
liz, if you look at the site there is an area which descibes the HPA axis. ( hypothalimus, pituitary gland and adrenal glands). apparently in people with FM all three areas malfunction. and one of the things we end up with, or rather without, is control of body temp.
ouch rose... reading about that makes me go dingdingding!
Ok Rose. I so hope he can improve your life for you.
interesting, Liz! I can almost guess, lol.
Then wondering if it's the same ip that's been bothering Rose and others.
oh, no, liz....i hope it has nothing to do with the other night. th4 again, i can almost take an educated guess as to whom it was.
snap, rose
and Liz, grin
So, Liz & Mum, am I right in thinking that the person who emailed me you and a few others may be trying to infiltrate the server or something and set up some kind of attack?
Funny abut all day when babble was down, hubby was suggesting that it was a band width problem.
your hubby was right, Liz.
ditto, here, liz, with my hubby.
how sad, if that is the case.
All sounds sad and pretty vindictive to me.
not going to say, worzel. as liz said.
well, vindictive has that person spot on, for sure
and worzel it wasn't just a few others. it was a lot of others. so that private email was pretty public.
I didn't know that :(
as many as email addresses could be found for, lol.
That's fair enough Mum but should I be concerned about my email address? I'm really technically not clever and don't understand things like that. Do I need to change my email address?
yeah, I got it too and not just once
just don't open emails from persons you don't know
I almost feel left out! Lol! Not really.
roflolllll Liz! Trust me, you missed nothing. Less than nothing.
I did the first time but not after that--I dont even know them
worzel, go to the latest email, spam it. th4 delete the rest.
I know. I REALLY was joking.
very good, pugs. You don't need that kind of shit.
I know, Liz :D
we could all send you a copy, liz
So then I'd have it lots of times!
not gonna risk it, Liz might spam us all, lolol
I'd never do that to you :)
lolol.....would you liz?
ha!!! so sprite, ;-P pfft
Only if you asked me very nicely!
lol, ok ok I stand corrected!
Mum thankfully it went straight into junk anyway, and I haven't (yet) received anything else from them. Why would anybody want to do something like that? It's sad to think people can't just come on here for a bit of light banter without being accused of all sorts of crap. I guess I'm too sensitive compared to some of you, but it really did make me think about not coming on here any more
I dont even know how they got my email anyway
you cant do that Wor :(
that is weird indeed, pug. I remember it was being asked for, and not given.
That's weird pugs.
not from me. and guys and gals, there are 2 other people with the same surname, members of their family, who are roped in to forward the emails.so watch out for the same surname.
worzel, we have been through the mill a couple of times already with this person. Not letting it get under my skin anymore.
Did you ever write it in the chog for anyone?
I know you didnt Rose---but Iam not worrying over it---I feel sorry for them--must be a lonely life they got
Very true.
pugs don't worry - I used to get bullied real bad at school - and I'm an old and wise man now and realise that if somebody wants to hide behind a computer then they are even sadder than the face to face bullies and don't deserve the sh*t off my shoe! Sorry for my language but that's the best way to put it for people like them
I love how my outlook dumps it straight into unwanted email. I can even tell it to trash it too. First time I am happy I am using outlook now and no longer outlook express.
extensive experience with bullies. Internet is a godsend for people like that. Alas.
what I think is that , they need a few classes with OO--lol
Bullies love hiding behind computers.
Or any type of hiding.
ohhhhh that would be awesome to watch, pugs. He'd flatten them in 2 secs tops
lol, I know :)
Lol I think he would!
Can I make a suggestion to everybody? Can we draw a line under it now (unless something else happens) and never mention it again? Purely because they, or someone they know, may be watching all this and laughing and thinking "Yay they're still talking about me" and laughing and feeling proud. I suggest we all finish this now by saying a final, collective "Bullying Stops Here"!!
I say haters will hate. And we are lovers, so yeah.
the Bullying Stops Here
but its fun picking on you Wor--lol stops here too
Sound like Michael Jackson, sprite. Not a good thing in my opinion!
oh pugs my dear friend - I don't mind NICE people picking on me!!! xx
Friendly banter!
oh, that is from long before Michael Jackson, don't worry.
I know!
we have a saying in dutch... hm no, actually we use the german one. Anyway, it boils down to 'if you love someone, you tease them'.
I just had this awful image of him saying " I'm a lover not a fighter! "
lol Liz. How about 'make love no war'?
well I'm all for that Sprite!!
Now, if I can just find my Viagara . . .
Like that much more :)
brings to mind that cute lyric part I came across: "I am not much of a lover but I'd sure know how to love her if she only would discover that I love her'
Iam surprise Wor you dont have more tummy problems from all that bottle sucking the other night--lol
viagara? Is that a waterfall of erection aids?
Cute :)
Ahh, see pugs, I only drink around once a month, and even then in moderation - I can have a good 4 hours on the town and still come home relatively sober!
you can make all kinds of erections with tinker toys
LOL OO---good morning friend
oh, my gosh...o-o....roflol
relatively sober... that is a wide ar4. Does that mean able to find your home, able to untie your shoes, able to rinse your contact lenses or just able to fall in bed and not miss too badly?
roflolollll o-o! Great to see you.
and I bet Wor has the whole collection too--lol
Hi o-o
I have to admit that in my younger days I drank far too much and made far too many mistakes with my behaviour so I now, thankfully, know my limits. Sad thing is, especially in the city I live in, and, to be honest, the country as a whole, people's behaviour has seriously declined with the amount of drink they put in them these days. No, I'm totally able to tie my shoes, when I come home and, if I wanted, could easily cook a meal lol
this grid is being bitchy to me. It is that whole ocean of vowels, I think. That and the fact that ocean is one of a zillion phantoms today.
that is not bad at all, worzel
49 left and still 3 blank tiles!
just means we got to keep you here longer Sprite--:)
59 left and 4 blanks, and one blank stat
lol pugs, true :)
how is it we get you too Liz this long
You'll still finish before me!
not likely, Liz
Feeling more relaxed perhaps! Will need to list very soon.
brb - time to wake the lovely Diane and make her a cuppa! xx *mini-poof*
ok I misread that. I read 'to walk the lovely Diane'.
things calm down there for you Sprite
the boy is being difficult again, the girl is of course still shaky and needs to be watched carefully, my love has an inflamed elbow and temper and it is nonstop noise here atm. Otherwise... yeah, lol.
:(
sounds just hunky-dory--lol what did Rob do to his elbow
it is all minor stuff, right? Just a lot of it, grin.
probably hurt it on his canoe trip somehow.
I thought things were going better for Caya--something else happen
I guess it takes a long time to get confidence back.
she is eating again, even was hungry yesterday. So that is better. And she is mostly angry now. But still boots of sobbing and all.
exactly Liz. This hit her hard. And all we can do is be there for her. It stinks. Wish I could still make things right for her.
Poor girl. Hugs to her from someone she doesn't know!
will extend them :D
2 blank tile!
sprite, just keep in mind the grief process. as i know you will, and, perhaps try and explain them to caya?
wow nice! Still 4 here, and that blank stat too. 54 left. Going nowhere so fast today.
will do, rose. Yes, might be interesting for her too. She likes to understand things.
44 here and still not listed
back!

ta
hey, wb, worzel. how's diane's shoulder. last time we chatted with her, it was pretty sore.
going strong, Liz!
Rose, have you heard from Joso yet
it's much better now. She thinks it was down to an exercise regime she started xx
sprite, take the mystery and uncertainty out of the equation, caya will handle it even better.
no pugs....hope he's okay. if i see crossy later, i will ask him.
will do, rose. Good idea, thanks :)
can i get a clue for the ho5/12 please? x
I am kind of worried about him--he usually answer to say hes alive in a few days but its been a good week or more since Ive heard from him
ho5, ho + w***, not stupid
rhymes with hard sound, worzel
thanks mum x
Could've clued the one h I'm missing!
ty sprite x
yw
oh, and dcseain has passed his real estate agent's exam. he's very pleased.
Good for him :)
good and I bet he is
liz, do you have both ho4, to do with gardening tool?
Yes have them.
he5, hi4?
my last H was ho6.
He 5 is missing.
you haven't found it yet, he5 it is missing
lol, watching Qi, and three buzzers are bells, and alan's is a cookoo clock.
Love QI!
oh, one of my favorite shows, rose! It is so freakin brilliant.
Thanks sprite
yvw Liz.
now they're talking about planes being run on AA batteries.
Taking a break now - 40 left. Hugs to you all
bye Liz, have a lovely night *hug*
only in QI, lol.
later, liz. xoxox
bye Liz
nn liz take care x
and one of them is talking how he bombed in japan. and stephen fry asks an english audience? no, is the answer, they were japanese...omg...ROFLOL
roflolollll
now they're talking about the marx brothers. i can hardly see to type.
last time I watched he had Sue Perkins in the panel. She was so smart, that lady. And so much fun.
oh, yes, she is amazing. she was on last night.
na5/12 please xx
nm got it x
oh, dear, worzel, another name for a male who prefers men?
rose, could you please clue me the other E from the 2nd column E tile? I have the exhibit.
ex5, no longer in country of birth
tsk rose, that is a competitor, and that doesn't start with na.
ex5: used to be a cow dropping.
thanks rose. Never thought to try that... thought it was an abbrev.
roflolllll good one, Dachef :D
lolol, dachef, wb mate. babble behaving at present, so nice to see you.
yes, seems to be. Soooo frustrating yesterday.
seems like drG found the guilty party and banned the IP address.
without going into detail, it seems it was deliberate.
oh really? Right then. Lynch mob organised.
*loves Dachef*
*waves frantically* wait for meeeee..
I know some people who 'owe me a favour', if you know what I mean.
hehehe very good
oh, dear, actually getting tight in the chest from laughing...
lol rose, that is good for you. Enjoy it. And breathe.....
in all seriousness, was there a particular reason for an attack on babble? Some particular aversion to yellow boxes? A phobia of word lists?
i think it was in retaliation. i'm afraid i set the cat among the pigeons the other night.
if it is who we think, it was a fatal combination of self-importance and vindictiveness. And in that case it is best ignored as much as possible.
ah. so it was your fault? Right then boys: this one.
oh, I see. Followed that a bit the other day. Got bored with it and switched the chog off.
*ducks under the bed, hands over eyes* you can't see me....
some people can't seem to learn to share their lego, Dachef. They think that being their friend means you cannot be friends with other people. Not Rose's fault she has a big heart, lol.
nah rose, I'll explain to the boys and send them in the right direction :)
sorry, dachef, i was pretty cross about it. but a lot of water has been passed since....and we are trying to, and succeeding, to move on.
babble has survived worse than this. Forward and onward, people :) Revenons a nos moutons and all that.
and this grid is still a bitch.
and anyway - sharing lego? No. Can't be done. Must be a man thing. man rules: don't touch a nother man's 1. woman/partner 2. drink of choice 3. automobile 4. lego
i don't hate, just get cross.
oh, my, roflolol
*sips Dachef's drink* Hm great choice, mate. *Grabs some lego* Nananananaaanaaa
and flees in his car, leaving the woman beside the road....hehehe
:D
and right there in 4 boxes is the story of my life. Sigh.
awww, here dachef, you can the little man's head back.
but his pants belong to me....
lol Dachef. *hug* With a sense of humour like yours, you will always be fine.
:)
bidding good day to you all--got about a hour and half before heading out---so hugs and love to you all
will be thinking of you, pugs. Take care and have faith. You will do fine. They are lucky to have you.
enjoy your day, darling pugs. xoxox
rose, can you please clue me the pe7?
nm, found it
okay, hands up. i can hold a 2 litre bottle of cola in one hand, and pour a glassful, without it frothing up. can you do that? don is awe-struck.
wow, that was me pulling a peri!
rose, you are amazing. Superrose!
*giggle* sprite, WE have done it lots of times...lol
i meant the pe7..
I feel so proud now
oh lol, yes indeed. Mea culpa
yeah, i nearly fell off my seat when i found it. oh, you are in good company, sprite
I love this company

I'm from the U.S., grannyrose. :)

LOL, okay rose. :)

and ask questions. we are here to help in way you need.

oh, crossy....good morning, mate.
((rose))
{{crossy}}
{{crossy}} have spread your news far and wide, re real estate exams. i hope i haven't spoiled things for you.
((ruby tuesday))
so many people are happy for you.
he is one of my heroes!
real estate?? I am taking workplace law followed by a very interestign university course call writers craft:)
interesting
crossy?? joso's harem are concerned. we haven't heard from him for a while. is he okay?
does the course have spell check? lol, just teasing you, mister
I have not seen joso in a while I am afraid. I think he may have been working night shifts
darn....who was it then??? *my brain hurts* of course, you were encouraging me to persist with dickens?
it does indeed, ruby; it is called Microsoft word spell check:)
phew, lucky thing!
another good site for you budding writers is called polishmywriting.com it is very good and catches weak and passive voice and dangling midifiers as well as fragments etc
was it zooz, th4. who qualified?
yes, stay with your dicken's story. it is work the effort
worth
ploughing through 'hard times'.
after a while with Dicken's the words flow easier and you can immerse yourself within the correctness and niceties of the time
one more for half -- any 7 or middle e would be greatly appreciated
Just introducing a room of four people can take 12 pages:)
I believe in War and Peace the author took 75 pages to describe a dress:)

and now it is time for crossy's tidbit of the day!!!
waiting,pant pan
In the Netherlands, citizens with disabilities receive public money to pay for sexual services up to 12 times a year.
hahah
lol, put those receipts with you tax return lol
does being an unattractive nerd count as a disability?
that's more than what i get for fr4....must have a word with himself...
does the gov't provide the surrogates?
well, ask about moving there, ruby. You can fill us all in:))
you will never have so much fun shopping for different models ever again:)
uh oh, watchdog is howling
you think I could work as a surrogate? or qualify for the service? hahahah
though, if it is like any other government, you will get the basic package, no frills
*giggle* i presume ruby is talking about her canine watchdog....
I can see it now; the Netherland immigration office is about to get 3000 calls from North America...
and australia....
lol
have booked air ticket. unfortunately, no concord available.
but there is legal weed in washington state... so many choices...
nearly 10pm here. crossy, if you hear from joso, could you please let me know? if he is doing night shifts...well...xoxox, mate
*poof*
will do, rose. tc and have a good sleep
looks like babble is back to normal today, thank goodness
I never understand what makes it act up like that, but I liked dr.god's message about the "temper tantrum"
yes, yesterday was pretty well a write off with it being down all morning. Dr. G found the issue though, so all is well.
he said there seemed to be a lot of server traffic originating from a single i.p addy. When i used to admin for gamespy, we would get people running very slow computers from a long distance which in turn would result in high frame rates within the server thus bogging down the entire server for all. I am not sure if this server works in that fashion
we used to toss anyone pinging over 200 frames per second
but that was with lots of video rendering and not a word game like this
thanks crossy, that went right over my head, but i'm glad you understand it : )
for everything I know, there are ten thing i do not.:)
i'm sure that's true of everyone - not everyone will admit it
any server is only as fast as the slowest person connecting to it:)
by the way, we haven't been chatting lately, but I think we have at least one thing in common
and as we know, lots of jumbo profile picture will knock the heck out of the babble server
what is that, JBV?
I've been taking courses at the university for 3 years now - a total of 6 courses - wonderful experience
I'm not pursuing a degree, though, just auditing
but I've heard you talk about the "youngsters" in your classes - same here
yaaa for JBV!!! i just wish i had gone back decades ago
Like i have been saying ,JBV; I love being the "old fart" in class busting the grading curve and have the kids just look at me and wonder
and having meaningful discussions with the prof - (who is often younger than I am, too!)
my English final exam i just finished received a very nice mark of 101.5% :))
wow!
hello Babblers, sweet little grid this morning!
how did you manage that? bonus points?
i ansered a 5% bonus question so that is the reason for the mark
answered
fantastic
howdy enomis:)
lots of Es today
brought my final overall report card for that class to 96% which in turn set me up for the university writers craft classes that i am really looking forward to
however, i have to finish this law class first, then wait till September
that's wonderful, crossy, congratulations
good morning all
Well done, crossy. Now for that novel!

ex 5: ex + short form of Ireland's saint

Your husband did a thesis on se6 who spake?
the bible
It is also a verse in a Christmas carol
ty jaxx and saan, for fw
Had to look up that Christmas Carol. Seems like it's a UK thing.
got the middle e nbt and nbs
congrats flosey!
lol, I do not remember that word, after many years in sunday school, singing in church choir for years - don't know where I spent more time during those years
The truth is Molly that we are all going to h*** in a handcart when people don't recognise quotes from the Bible. LOL
My grand-daughter the other day at a funeral did not know the words to All Things Bright and Beautiful. School assemblies are a thing of the past now and so it seems are Sunday schools. So sad.
I'd be willing to be a majority of people do not recognize Bible verses anymore. But they can surely tell you about the latest funny thing on Facebook. : D
nbt
breakfast time now, thanks for help, be back at flip
I don't know the words to All Things Bright And Beautiful. I know a few verses, but not the whole thing.
jennifer gardner name one of hr daughter's se 6/24but ends in ine i think?
You are right, of course, but don't you think it is sad?
Se****ine means angelic but a se**** is a major angel like Gabriel.
Yes, lots of sad things nowadays. People don't read real books, people can't be bothered to spell out entire words, people don't know words to hymns or their national anthems...I could go on...
It is also losing a certainty in this world. No wonder kids are adrift
there is nothing so satisfying as belting out a hymn or carol.
I notice that today's carol singers, who turn up at the door, think I wish you a happy Christmas is a carol.
Now I am feeling really old. My husband is trying to make the bedroom tidy by sorting through the clutter of a lifetime and I am feeling guilty as well as old. i am off to help.
I am still wondering how wishing someone a Merry Christmas became "politically incorrect"
te7?
Is it Christmas again?
te7...first three of the "cloth" used to make towels + writing instrument + vowel
ty Molly.
it feels like it bonkler. my hubby has a get out jail free card (early retirement) in a couple of weeks.
congrats on the retirement. i'll get to retire about 18 years after i croak.
hi all, I bought my beach tags this morning!!
help with middle E pls
if you like what you do that's a good time.
Middle E is a gas
ty Molly
help with E in first column pls
Ah beach tags. What a wonderful time of year.
beach tags?
it was not a beach day so I did not hand around long
what are beach tags?
tags you buy to get on some beaches.
Oh, every day is a beach day : D
interesting. never heard of the, .Here, if you want to go to the beach, you go.
if you buy them before memorial day they are MUCH cheaper. $3.50 for the season vs. $15.00
may I have stats for the E in the first column pls
ep4
NM
Not all US beaches have them, just the more crowded ones. And you usually have to pay for parking no matter where you go.
ty
I don't have to pay for parking on the street. I just make sure I get there early.
must be similar to the beach we have in my town - it is a small lake with a sandy beach that is maintained by the town. For residents they charge $2.00 per car for the season and $10 for the boat launch for the season.
Lots of beach towns have metered street parking in the summer.
no charge for Atlantic City beach which is right next to where I go but the casinos are there and the beach is much more crowded and you have to pay for parking
cheap enough for use of the facilities - picnic table, stand up grills (must provide own charcoal, bathrooms and parking all included
I love the beach. The sound of the ocean soothes me
our beaches on the ocean have no charge but very expensive to park
That sounds reasonable to me, River.
and that small amount gives kids in town a job for the summer manning the booth and raking and cleaning up for the next day
I like the beach in the off season.
and if you are not a resident, it is $5 per car daily. That is still reasonable.
me too MOlly, I wish I had a beach h ouse or at least knew someone who had one.
Peri, we need to make some rich friends : D
we do
poohie
hahaha evil monkey error

No, I haven't/. I'll send her an e-mail and report back. I don't think she was caught up in the brouhaha
Brouhaha?
{{sue!!!}} I haven't seen you in ages. How are you and Frank?
There was a brouhaha? Glad I missed it...
I am good, Ruby! Frank is still struggling with the Crohn's but seems to be doing pretty well today. How have you been?
i have pe & te 7, what am i missing
dunno, sue, you are two 7's ahead of me :-)
po7
Today was the first warm, verging on hot, day and I am loving the heat.
I sent the mail to Bichon, Molly, matbe she'll pop in
it was quite hot here yesterday, pretty hot today too. A nice change from the snow we had last week :-)
Well, I hope she is just taking a break, or having a life, or some other good thing. I'm not going all alarmist freak out, I have just missed seeing her here.
You are kidding, no? Snow in May???
I wish I was kidding! Latest measurable snow here, 1/2" on May 16.
Snow in May is more than I could tolerate.
May I pls have a clue for the po7? I have a po6 but doubt that it's related
It is related Ruby. Add a consonant in the middle.
Just popping in for a sec to say that Colorado got a foot of snow last week. I think it is already gone now though.
ty molly
well, I didn't like the snow much, but there wasn't much I could do about it (one learns to tolerate all sorts of weather oddities when living in northern Illinois)
Hi Min
ty Molly
Yes, the mountains often have snow in May and even June (not that Denver is in the mountains, but it's close)
They had hail in the mountains just above us (about 1000 ft up) but we only had rain and a thunder storm

hello knight
I like your cartoon. :)
thx- i rarely get in the chog because most people are offended by it
really?
I miss Jay
i love it knight
maybe its my imagination
Why should people be offended by the truth?
ignore those people.
i don't like to argue especially with people who have already made up their mind
so really its me more than anything else
i don't think those people have a closed mind, I just think they are blinkered
What makes me laugh is that apparently every country in the world is in debt. I often wonder just exactly WHO has got all the money
Switzerland
debt is not money, it is a promise
A bit like marriage then - I promise to this, that and the other - so basically a marriage is a lifetime of debt lol

Ooops. I'm sorry.
Whew.. Nobody noticed.
O-O there is always someone watching O-O
Ooooh-hooo Oooooh-hooo. Hi Molls
ΘΘ The eyes of Babble are everywhere...mwahahaha ΘΘ
Any luck on the lottery recently, Molly?
Oh yeah, that's why I'm still hanging around playing Babble : D
Yup. Me too..
Actually, I did win seven bucks last week (don't everyone line up to be my friend at once)
And I won €14 yesterday. Gambler that I am, I re-invested. Stand by...
Molly, have you watched the BBC series 'Sherlock', with the truly delightful Benedict Cumberbatch? I can highly, highly recommend it.
No, but I think that is one that one of my kids recommended.
Give it a whirl. It's sassy, modern & really good. AND it's got BC.
I'll try it. I'm not much for BBC tv. Downton was the only thing I watched and after last season, I'm pretty done with that.
I have never watched Downton but I have been to Highclere where it is filmed. I have watched Sherlock and would recommend it.
Molly, does that mean you have never watched the Musketeers. You have missed a treat and four gorgeous men as well
Hi, soodle
Hi Jaxx :-). Tell me more about theMusketeers.... Is Benedict (Cheekbones) Cumberbatch in it?
The first 2 series of Downton was wonderful. A bit like Upstairs Downstairs of years ago. But, inexplicably, it just fizzled out for me.
Not inexplicable for me. They lost three very strong main characters and the writing was terrible in Season 3.
No, I am sorry to say. the three men who play the Musketeers are fantastic but the man that plays D'Artagnan is the one for me. Wow. The whole series is loosely based on the book. It is full of beautiful scenery other than the 4 men. The new Dr Who, peter Capaldi plays Cardinal Richlieu and is a full blooded villain. if you get a chance do watch it. It was a Sunday evening must for my husband and I.
Sorry, I meant Season 4.
I'll put it on my list, Jaxx thanks. And Molly, Downton lost me mid Season 3.
The second series of the Musketeers is in production. So is the second one of Atlantis. That is a take on Greek history and myth. It has a comedic side with the part of Hercules who is living on past exploits but is now portly and anything but heroic. The main character Jason is a real looker and usually comes out on top in each episode. There is a poisonous Queen, stepmother of the Princess, Ariadne, who is the love interest. Nothing is in sequence but it doesn't matter, a rollicking series well worth seeing.
I recommend you 'Google' them. Molly, don't give up on the BBC. Remember they produced Luther!
Ahhhh! Luther. Aaaah Idris.... What a beautiful man....
hi again!
Jaxx, I was noodling around Netflix & SkyGo, looking for something decent to watch & I happened upon Playhouse Presents. There are some gems on there.
Hi nenia :-)
*Imagines Ruby and Soodle watching Luther with their little drool cups*
Don't forget the Cabana Boy with his enormous.... fan, cooling the pair of us down during our hot flashes, Moll.
See, I was thinking you and Ruby could do better than imaginary Babble cabana boys and perhaps might score some young French men in Ruby's village.
Of course the French men would have enormous...fans too.
But the triumvirate would be incomplete without you, Molly. Thoughts become things....
Here is another little nugget for your inner self Soodle...worry is a misuse of imagination.
I'm missing two of the 7 letter words
I have the pe 7/36 one
Nenia. The illegal Irish hooch with a cons added in the middle. Po 7/36
You can always count on Soodle for things like that.
pr6 pls
I don't get it :X
pr6 is a peremptory fiscal charge
ty
Ah, I was right...a Google of "irish hooch" is sufficient to that clue
Po* is a utensil for cooking. Plus **, she, ( masc/fem), plus to go into a room is to **ter it.
As usual, I made a hames of that clue....
2 left...ox 5 and te 7?
What is a hames?
YAY i got it!
Is it part of a horse collar?
got the ox
If you make a hames of something, you make a horse's ass of it.
cool!
i learned a new word :)
All these new horsey words...gee gee, hames...
Done! Clues?
We all learn something new every day :-D
Well done Gramma! Woot.
Other than the last 2 it seemed rather breezy
Swear to God, if I ever visit the UK or Ireland, I am going to carry around a little notebook and convey to people that I am mute. That way, I won't get in trouble.
Molly when we went to Ireland I wrote all kinds of expressions down in my notebook
muchamucha (no difference)
mushy peas - when I asked, I was told it was an American dish. Really?
Um no, mushy peas is nowhere near an American dish.
Stringers - really self explanatory. Obviously, a weed whacker
And everything was brilliant! Correct change at the gas station...Brilliant!
That is nice that you wrote down all those expressions. As I said, my notebook will be for conversation, as I am going to fake being a mute so as not to get into trouble with words and phrases.
Brilliant seemed to be on par with so many words from okay to thank you to....whatever
Brilliant is one of those over used words, like awesome.
No no no! Musha musha translates as ' ah! Sure, everything will be OK'. 'Brilliant' is a generic term for anything which is not catastrophic.
One of the best was when the inn keeper said "If you're going to lay in my bed, you must pay the lady."
Musha musha = there, there
That's it, Molly. It's soothing. Normally reserved for mothers to their babies, but occasionally used for American tourists. :-)
Wirra wirra is another one that got handed down to me.
Should we take the ferry or go around? It's much a much a, she said.
Much of a muchness, Gramma?
(Normally preceded by Yerra...)
All this vernacular has jaded me. I'm off to the Soodle pit. Night all.
Yep! That was it. Much a muchness
Well my sweetie is home. I'm going to make a cocktail and visit.
Much of a muchness is a Brit saying, not an Irish one, I think.
Feeble voice from the Soodle Pit begs to differ. But I could be wrong.
Oh bless the feeble voice, and the pit it lies in.
Hi all. Clue for the 1st column e, please? Just not seeing it!!
Stats would be fine
Fencing sword
Sorry, clued before I saw your stats request.
Either one is fine.
How is the world's cutest baby TNana?
Oh, she's great!! We were worried for awhile because she didn't walk when she should have, but now she is.
She is 21 months old and talks a blue streak!
That sounds like lots of fun. She is such a cutie.
I am trying to change my icon to a recent picture, but having trouble...
No, there it is. Bubbles!
Wow, they don't stay babies long, do they.
Oh, I cannot see it. It still shows my old one for me.
No, she has grown up waaaay too fast.
Hope it's not too large of a pixel for the chog....
Picture/pixels, that is
No, it's perfect. Try opening up your profile and right clicking then hitting RELOAD.
I have a Mac, I think that is different?
Oh yeah, probably. Sorry, I don't speak Mac. : D
And I don't have a "refresh" key, either
Hmmm....not getting the new pic. Seems I have this problem every time I change my icon.
Try Command (Apple key) + R
There she is, thanks, Molly!
*Can Google search with the best of them*
When I go back to my profile, it's still the old one, though.
Strange.
Anyway, she is doing great and thanks for asking.
Vicarious thrills, I'm a grandma wannabe.
Molly - I just added a photo to Flickr of her on a horse. Our favorite pic of her to date. Love the satisfied look on her face.
not enough e's
Not fond of puzzles with so many vowels!
Ahhhh, that picture is adorable. She really does have an expressive face. I love the picture of her in her car where she is waving to her adoring public.
waht happened? i stared a grid this morning. This is not the same grid.
?? When I came on this morning, it was this grid.
Me, too. Same one I've been working on all day.
oh no. i just came back and i had no words entered. this is wierd.
TO has computer gremlins
i have something, that's for sure. I finished yesterday.
so what's the deal with the server?
hi all!
hi sue!
hi sue!
hi TO!
The server...something about an IP address flooding the server with too much data, according to Dr. God.
a cyber attack?
huh, sounds almost like a DOS (Denial of Service) attack
yes!
Dr. God's exact words were "excessive server traffic"
hmm, i wonder how that can happen? via the chog or the puzzle?
I don't see how it *could* really happen through the chog or the puzzle; could be something sending a lot of odd requests (not via the normal channels) or something
although I will admit that my knowledge of such things is a bit vague
it does sound like dos.
Kind of hard to believe that someone would "target" this site.
I think a lot of those attacks don't care what they're attacking, they're just looking for vulnerabilities
hows everything with you , sue? frank doing ok?
hi all. any clues for the 7s? dont have any
he's doing all right but not great; now that his immune system's recovered from the chemo, his Crohn's is acting up (we didn't even know he had Crohn's until the cancer surgery)
so he's in pain a lot, trying to figure out what to eat that won't make him feel worse
I think it's grossly unfair that Frank has both Celiac and Crohn's.
mkg, I just have the pe7, something you do to atone for sins
sorry to hear that.
ty got that one. ty sue.
yes, it kind of sucks, TO, but at least there's no sign of the cancer recurring
any clues for the e in middle of grid? or the E in second column?
e in middle is et6/21, a gas
for the e to its left I have ex5/22, someone living in a foreign country
ty! didnt have it sue. ty ty ty
i dont get the et. i put in and doesnt take. hmmm
all the vowels in et6/21 are the same
i think i will take a break and run over to the library. bbl
