Hi Pini - sorry, wasn't ignoring you. Hi to others that I haven't spoken too :)
ho worries, liz...sometimes it's tough to read, play, and think at the same time! (at least for me!) :)
so, no lickety again?
Hello there rose!
how are you at walking and chewing gum pini :D
Bet the act of being "polite" and anything but your real self is tiring once in awhile. Note the word "act".

I've been away too long.
poor pini....
my own fault, rose :-/
Glad that you're back, though.
has work been difficult, dear?
It's always good to pop in...
echo what liz girl said
...it's been an interesting spring and summer at the office, rose...
y'all are too kind...
would you like to share, hun?
60 left and have hit the wall...grrr
Oh, when our faculty level is full, we have 6 on board, right now we have 2, 2 visiting profs, 4 adjuncts, 10 new grad students, an active search, a promotion case, a new website, etc....
looking for hen's teeth here
egad, pini. i would go spare!!
...sometimes my brain just fades...
(what does "go spare" mean? -- an aussie term?)
"Go spare" is also used in the UK. Means tear your hair out!
go spare....lose the plot....not be able to make sense of anything.
gotcha...yep...that's me!!! LOL
Hit the wall with this - 61 left!
(side note...I hit the wall with 106 more to go!)
naughty wall, get out of liz girl's way...
which means...omg...I made it 1/2 way!! :)
hit the wall with twenty to go
awesome ru

Wow, Ru!

Good to know you have them too, Rose!
thanx again grem
It's quite clear where your ego comes from, gremlinn
grem...* looking a little puzzled * you finished ?
a while ago, yes
WTG GREMLINN!!!!
vy are you normally obnoxious or do you have to work at it
grem is our hero, rose! :)
Just stating the truth.
VY, do you have a problem with the chat??
sure is, pini
I have a problem with this cesspool of egotism.
Each and every one of you.
speaking from self experience, vy?
If you had a problem with the politics chat from earlier, can we just let it go? Otherwise, I don't know what you're getting at
Then. Go. Away.
Is there a way to turn off chat?
Yeah, leave the game.
Click the "My Friends" tab and it hides chat.
grem, can you list the p's please?
But I choose to play it
yes. click on the word ballon at the top
Sufficient. Thank you.
Ruru, see? I said thank you.
very good.. keep it up.. it will help you in life
wow
In the end it really doesn't matter, but you hide behind this pretense of being someone youre not all day
pa: 45654564564545545545456 // pe: 454476 // pi: 44645565 // po: 475
that is, someone who mindless spews social etiquette and whatever else is needed to keep yourself afloat in society
weren't you turning off the chat vy.
you are boring me
You know, you're the only one that has been rude since I arrived awhile ago...I haven't heard anyone say anything rude to anyone else except you...and I've known the others for a long time...what's your problem? just curious?
He's the type who always needs the last word, I think.
Soon, I need to get more off my chest here that I'm not allowed to anywhere else
Congrats Grem for not relying on anything to solve this! I bet it felt good typing it and abated your ever enormous ego!
if you can't say it elsewhere don't say it here please
Morning, everyone. Could someone give me a clue for the A and the E on the bottom line please?
nm...you're not worth engaging - you're just out to annoy...so *ignore*
Im safe behind a computer!
gremlinn, pinikula, I think you're feeding a troll. If you stop it'll get tired and go away.
Correction: pa: 456545645645455455545456
OMG what a piece of trash is Vy
thx joy...noted :)
we will get him evicted
Agree with joy
"thrown off the island"
Next up, you old ladies
Ack. Third try? 456545645645455455545456
I know, everything you say is nice to one another and appears nice on first glance, but I have seen first hand in real life that most of it is an act
This lady I played at the scrabble club with isn't anything like what she is when she is with people.
I've had a couple positive experiences with real-life meetups with communities I've known online to start.
Which entails a lot of etiquette, feigned nicety, etc. etc. This is where your ego comes from, ladies.
Don't generalize based on your personal experience, please
And frankly, I'm sick of reading and living the same bull crap everywhere I go in life.
You people and your ego which I will never understand is the reason I am so miserable.
You impose your values on everyone else and without even knowing it, indoctrinate your children, family and friends to behave a certain way
Which, truthfully, is mindless. You pretend everything is normal day in and day out without even considering for a moment how screwed up everyone and everything is
Gremlinn, at this point I'm willing to say that it's not a generalization. Everyone does this.
I have 1 "I" from the lower right...(im5)...what's the other? plz/thx
To think, I almost retracted calling you a troll earlier.
I saw a delightful movie tonight..the 100 Foot Journey.........I highly recommend it to you all
vy, what drew you to the babble site? Do you like word puzzles?
im4, a silly one
congrat on finishing grenlinn, am awed
I like the day-long aspect of it. I despise the chat from which a community was built to exchange pointless banter and etiquette about nothing
Well, good thing you know how to hide it now. Bye!
Then. Go. Away.
but you can always block out the chat
there's always therapy to help you VY
mhhhhhhhhhhhh sound like me all right... i have been imposing my values and indoctrinating my children and grandchildred for 56 years and they have listened and done well ..........'courrse if they HADN"T listened to mama i would have KICKED ass
Ah, ruru, but isn't that true? Of course you would recommend that, as everyone else I have talked to has. The fact is, and despite the way I feel when I'm around people, I'm actually very happy when I'm alone.
Its an interesting paradox that the people who recommend therapy are the ones that need it themselves.
then consider living in the desert vy
stats please on that
How old are you ruru?
that's none of your concern
but certainly older than you
If you feel better when alone, then consider closing the chat and allow the rest of us to enjoy the game and chat
I'm interested in knowing. You're willing to admit your gender and country, why not your age?
saan im 4/6
I finally got the im4!!! YEAH!!! Took all the bananas I could muster! :)
Orange alert
Is it not proper etiquette to ask a boy how old they are as well as a girl now?
good morning all
diz I was asking our guest here to provide stats for a sweeping illogical statement he mede
hi sprite
morning sprite :)
Saan, notice how I said paradox.
heelo sprite!
Heya sprite ..
{{hugs}} sprite. lovely to see you, dear
Clever, paradox was a phantom too.
*hugs* rose, hi torg and saan and pini and smom! How are you all?
I maybe should have made an alternative word for paradox in that context because it's not actually a paradox, but a reversal of it
"Irony" might work.
That's a common pitfall word in usage though.
Anyway, continue with your day, folks. I just wanted to say that your egos are... beautiful. And that things will get better when you finally get sick of this facade and start yourselves anew
I'm just fine, you sprite?
As per social etiquette my departure is: Bye!
...and we'd all be better off if you made better personal choices!
*sigh of relief*
am fine! Feeling good and going strong here. Good to hear you are fine too :)
We are so blessed!
yay sprite. nice to hear that, dear
...and in the midst of all that I was able to land 21 more words! :)
how about you, rose?
Rose, check your email.
now that's concentration
done and responded dianne
you all know that if you want to make a troll go away, you really have to stop feeding it, right? Just a full ignore?
Who is this person (?) who has just spewed such misanthropic vomit on this chat log?
Not so sure about that, Grem...but was rather perplexed...
I know, Sprite...I tried! :) ...no idea, jeanne...
a little fragile, but okay. my darling vicar told me to sit whenever i wanted to. she said God could hear me no matter if i was standing or sitting.
careful people, vy is still on-line
lol rose... and how often have I told you exactly that??? Hmmmm???
*gentle hugs for fragile rose*
thx, rose...
:)
yeah, well, sprite...nobody likes a smarty pants...lol
sure they do, rose. You love me :) Smartypants and all.
missing 2 from the lower S; have sa 667
:)
I like a smartypants ..

okay troll gone, but i will keep watch.
danke, rose :)
gone or changed name again?
my favorite actor is in the puzzle tonight
Moe?
might have just changed names... try and ignore it fully, it will get bored then in time.
midnight hour here and off too bed…have fun! 'night.
yeah, dianne....he can't help himself...he will surface again ,
who is it, joy? Tried to figure it out but don't see a name so far :)
sleep well saanichcat
Johnny....
lol rose, ofcourse he (or she) can help themselves. Cyber booh lees are sad that way.
depp! Ah of course!
:)
he certainly is lovely
sprite, but this is OUR cyber booh lee
I know, honey. I knew that as soon as I opened chat today. Don't feed. Any kind of attention (even this) is welcome there.
i managed to stay 'mum'
Honest, I tried!!! :)
How many words today please

lol... for a second I tried to make sense of that by understanding what your motherhood had to do with it.
I know, pini :) You did!
and hell, I know it is hard.
Thanks

Yes, please list the O words.

Pini, that's too bad.

oh, lovely! glad I missed it!
ahh yes, went back through the log and I see the troll
obv a regular under a pen name:(
now you have it. i have my suspicions.
quite interesting. I googled that name
hmmm, a famous person in the acting profession ?
morning all :-)
howdy wolvie
{{wolvie}} good morning sweetie
no, i m isre4, it is a star in the heavens.
yes, a giant star it seems. The troll had quite an inflated sense of self-importance eh? lol
yeah...as i said i had my suspicions.
lol- what a moroon as bugs would say. some folks :D
a very articulate troll at leat
least
lol
true lol
I am up to 01:42 in the log
i just looked for the troll thing then stopped - going to be a busy day lol- didnt keep reading the whole thing. you have to wonder about some people and how they get their kicks :D no lives i guess. amusing for a bit then tiresome :D
love the trolls post at 01:43, Seinfeld made millions doing just that! I always dream of me doing a hit program talking about nothing but bacon;)
lol that would be great
agreed wolvie, getting tiresome already
okay, wolvie, crossy, just be warned...this is one very sick puppy.
rose i am not reading it lol- i am trying to find words :-)
How are you this morning/evening rose?
enjoy your game wolvie. not too bad a grid. it was hard with no list though.
oh no list today? rats
crossy....i'm okay, thanx. i have been taking things very quietly at the moment.
wolvie, list is in gremlinn's profile, which molly has copied into her profile.
okay- ty rose :-)
bb in a bit- have to make a quick run to the store :-) enjoy your day ll
take care wolvie
sigh.. made the mistake of looking at the news and came right back here
what happened
more I.S.I.S evil
oh :(
i saw that
it said cameron vows revenge. it seems like kind of a dumb idea on their part to do things that will bring the US and UK down on them...
sorry, your point was obviously that you did NOT want to talk about it.
g'day JJ
g'day
sorry for not chatting sooner. final episode of Anzac Girls was on. what amazing women!
who are they
australian and new zealand nurses who served during WWI
if you want to have a happt, optimistic outlook on life avoid the news, no matter what
happy even
It is tough to do, jacq, I hate to wade through the horror and misery, but then again I do not to be caught unawares one day, looking at a giant fireball of a mushroom cloud on the horizon wondering "What happened?"
good morning all
help with the fi8 pls
howdy peri
g'day peri.
jacq are you going to vote for independent scotland
back and a little bit tipsy
compound word, peri. fi4 + moist, not wringing wet
Yes this Scotland thing is big news. Reminds me of when our own province of Quebec gave it a go many years ago
((ruby))
ty rose, another new word
ty for the 8
{{crossy}}
ty for fi8
pa5 what you wear in tahiti
yes joseph, not because of some daft patriotism, to start with i wasa a No, i couldn't see how we could be better on out own but now, with all the threats from Westminster and all the daft lies floating about, the promises of things they could have given is two or three years ago, I am a yes, simply because i know we will thrive as an independant nation, just as the USA thrived, but if the vote goes to a NO then westminster will punish us as a nation because of the audacity of demanding a referendum, they punished us in the 70's, but the thing is that nobody will care or intervene, we will be stripped of even more
interesting
sorry that was a bit soap boxy lol
i don't know what you wear in tahiti other than bathing suits
nice to have it from the horse's mouth so to speak. we only see/hear what is on the tv and in the newspapers.
not at all jacq. it is good to hear things from an inside perspective and not some filtered half-truths that hit our news after it has been altered 100 times
snap
lol, snap crossy
:)
it's a bathing suit over-up, at least the bottom half....lol
cover-up
there has been a lot of vile things said, my neice, niece, sisters child, has had people unfriend her on fb because she has voted no already (postal vote since she works all over the world but lives in scotland)
Is the total today 214/2807
yes gran
Thanks
which probably means you have finis\hed, right, gran?
she's gone. she is one amazing babbler. always solves the grid with no list, nothing.
help with corner e pls
the logistics of separating are daunting to say the least
e is the letter letter after l, pl
ty bubba
gm, everyone! stat for t A bottom row?
yw
howdy lbd
ap6/24 and pl
ty peri
oh no that list isn't up
no lickety?

I think I need a clue for the ap6.
if you have rain and sun together, a rainbow may ap6
a magician makes thing dis******
clue for the right-hand o, pls
probably a fish
om 4/5 and 5/12

merci
nap time
ty for the ap...doh >*))<<
How many words today?
214
too many
I see you are in the grid pe**
yes I am
and no lickety ? ;(
no lickety
sometimes he does come on later in the day but by then lots are finished or given up.
I really appreciate lickety whenever he arrives
I haven't even been checking lickety lately
Been so long since I have gotten down to 25 words that Lickety or the lack of lickety has been a non-issue for me for a long time:(
peri, list in gremlinn's profile, which molly has copied into her profile
of course, haven't been finishing them lately either :)
oh ty rose
lol, you and me crossy :)
that will help
g'day sukee
like peas and carrots sukee:)
Hi Rose, hi all
Since I started this poetry course I have a little less free time
I have some poetry assignments in my writers craft course, but I will steer clear of them if i get the option. I have don other more appealing assignments., though I do have my own poetry on poetry.com
done
I even have to write an essays close reading an Emily Dickinson poem
I'll find out which one today.
I find the way the text book tears it down and does an autopsy on it kind of takes the magic away for me
Sometimes it does
That is why I quit studying comparative literature, I felt people put too much meaning into some things
When I write them, I write them from a spark within me and not to form it to some chart that says it must be laid out in this precise way:)
70 left, bbl. doing laundry, etc
ugh.. please do not say laundry...
Any way, even though I write part time for a living I am nervous about the essay. It is accessed by your classmates.
yes.. sometimes a cigar is just a cigar lol
:)
Anyway, how is your weather. It's 3 here, even my blanket could not keep me warm last night.
ahh yes, the peer review tear-down. you open up a vein, hold it over the page and bleed your heart out and some classmate dissects it, rolls it in mud, derrides it then with a great big smile hands it back to you:/
was 6c last night and I have the heat on for the first time
I am enjoying the course though, feels like a regular university poetry course.
I have to wait until the building puts the heat on, which is usually early October.
In my opinion, the biggest mistake people make during peer review is giving too much weight to other people's opinions. I write for ME and if others like it, great, but if not, I'm still writing.
Mine is a University writers craft course, so I know exactly what you are going through, sukee
Yes, it's not like there is a grade, you just complete everything and get a certificate whatever.
I use the constructive comments and just mentally discard criticism for criticism's sake.
((mimi)) yes, outside of class you can write just for you or one person, but in the class it does not pan, the rubrics they use for the marking does not allow such parameters
I also have to critique too, I guess it's just commenting on their reading of the poem.
mine has a grade level and a marking schedule
I've also signed up to take a Shakespeare course next month, at another site, still free.
as a writer you do need to grow a tick skin:)
thick
I do write differently now that I've "matured." I can go a bit outside myself and look at what I'm writing from someone else's perspective. That helps.
you are brave sukee
I passed on the bard
You sure do, I see what is written on Facebook under links to New Yorker and other magazines.
Love Shakespeare...especially the comedies.
The course is Shakespeare on the page and in film so it looks like fun
I love Shakespeare, I even have a book collection and a Shakespeare doll :)
I have a copy of his comedies from the late 1900s
I think I move on to op-ed pieces next week
Op-ed is fun
I was really weird in high school...I read much of Shakespeare in the summer between my Freshman and Sophomore years....peers really thought that was strange.
It looks fun:)
I have a set of shakespeare. 4 leather bound books. once owned by r. j. hopwood, signed April, 1889.
very nice set to have annie
Lovely. And, I have the complete works of Shakespeare on my Kindle :)
ahhh.. that old book smell:))
yes, it is. found it in a barn in maine about 40 years ago. paid $4. for the set.
I'm trying to convince myself to look into the kindle...hard transition for me.
The old book I have has a lovely binding and the paper is still in good shape.
I love kindle.
Does anyone have a list up by chance?
I love my Kindle, it has gotten me reading a lot more again.
we love our readers, but my book shelf is still full;)
Molly has a list in her profile.
I have 3 bookcases of books too :) I do admit I haven't bought a print book in several years.
thanks
The thing that appeals to me about that mode is that it has its own light source...good for reading in bed...right?
I just have no more room for print books! My livingroom would have to be turned into a library
great for reading in bed
great for reading in bed mimi
Well, I have the 2nd generation Kindle with no back lighting, but looks like regular print. But, I still read in bed.
I have a nook HD reader. sadly they no longer make them
I also read on my iPad when I download books from the library. Just read Breakfast at Tiffany's after all these years of loving the movie.
And you can access lots of material easily, right?
oh yes, mimi. I have 225 books on my reader now
Whoa! OK...must seriously consider it.
Well, you can load your own books and get them from various sources. It's only automatic through Amazon. But, I have the Calibri program that allows you to convert and add any books to the Kindle.
It is a learning curve. the first two weeks will be odd, then after a bit you will wonder how you ever managed without it
Calibre is an amazing program
....just like the computer!
cough...bookzz.org..cough...
mm, computer is acting up again;))
Hmm, I'll check that one out. Pixel of Ink is a good source too, they link to free books on Amazon.
((crossy)) That cleaner program you sent me worked great in stopping my browser freezing! Thanks so much.
You can download from Gutenburg to, I got a whole series of the Fairy books :)
yaaaa!!!! for mimi
kindles.... would be lost without mine, great if you have issues with dexterity and can't hold a book
back btw, disappeared to take pain pills and a snack for them lol
my wife has vision issues and is now the only way she can read comfortably
Tons of work today so better get at it. Have a good Sunday, everyone, and hugs all around.
tc ((mimi))
Ooh, Narnia is on that site corssy
I love the fact I can enlarge the print and don't need my reading glasses in bed.
by Mimi
crossy :)
bye.... sheesh :)
everything is on that site, but make sure you look to the right on the screen and make sure it is in a language you can read
a lot of dutch and german versions make their way to that site
and of course always choose epub if you can
Well, I will go see what is for breakfast.
though you can load it and convert with calibre
Yep, thanks crossy
I have a lot of writing to do today, for my job :) I'll try to get back later.
k Have a good day sukee

pekoe cross?
n the tea industry, tea leaf grading is the process of evaluating products based on the quality and condition of the tea leaves themselves. The highest grades are referred to as "orange pekoe", and the lowest as "fannings" or "dust".
had to hit wiki for that:)
cool
Orange pekoe is referred to as "OP". The grading scheme also contains categories higher than OP, which are determined primarily by leaf wholeness and size.[1][2]
lol, just good tea is all

Off to the farmers market I go. *POOF*
aah, I had that one, was looking for arson
be back later
i am bummed, for those of you who know about US football apparently they changed the schedule. The North Carolina Panther's and the Washngton Redskin's games were being shown at the same time different channels. Now they changed it because of the North Carolina Panther's football team is being shown instead.. the other game on at the same hour if their is one i have no idea. I am so pissed off!
bummer...
i will be watching a patriots game....we usually get those shown in New England....
pen i was so looking forward to this but shoudl have known due to the NC team but i had hopes. I dont even know what teams are playing that i do watch besides those too
two
who are the Patriots playing do you know?
which one is the team you wanted to watch?
they are playing the Vikings....
Redskins
my tv guide app says that the game on Fox is to be announced...
Viking and Patriots game should be good though:)
patriots were awful in the second half last week....building year, lol....
true lol
i will be back in a minute
Panthers vs the Lions on FOX
ah....what is your CBS game?
no idea
according to the website it should be that game
unles sthey changed it i know my husband told me the different games that are going to be on at 1pm but i dont know what he said ..half paying attention lol. it was listed on the schedule they have on the tv yesterday but hubby checked and no Redskins game on that channel at all for today
you can also watch some games live online at cbs.com...
i think it's cbssports.com....
i watched the score on a website once for a Redskins game it was fun. meaning that when their was a score it showed it
well some games are actually broadcast online...
you can watch all the plays...
this is true
never did it befoer
before
i have watched tennis online...quality was good....
cool
did you see the women play where the oriental tennis player went down due to the heat?
yes, i was watching that one....and it was not as hot as it had been in the Australian Open....
really?
yes, over 100 for more than one day....one guy started hallucinating...
yikes
pen do you have oi5?
no...i will look...
i don teven know which one it comes from
oi + you used to have to ***l a telephone to call someone, a rotary phone
thanks molly
ty molly...
Another fungi word, ick
ick...
pen so i pretty much have no football to watch today. for some reason i thought i had at least two games to watch. i thought the Packer's game was going to air today here ugghh
well you could still check online to see if some games are streamed....
buy the NFL package from DirectTV or Dish
i checked ESPN and CBS Sports....i don't think you can watch games at either today....only college games at ESPN....
Just heard a great quote and wanted to share: "In youth we learn...in age we understand." Now, back to work for me!
nice one...
in Youth I wish I "learned" more
And in age, I wish I understood more!
"too soon we get old ... too late we get smart"
Now gone for real...poink!
Good one, dos!
she'll be back
Hello everyone
Happy Sunday
good morning car.ee
... wise sayings ... that's what dear departed fathers are for
not all fathers
... only dear departed ones
howdy car:)
hi all.
cheers! it is 5pm somewhere :)
Let's talk politics! (Only kidding) : D
howdy peri
hi ru, car,crossy, dose, peri, john boy, mary ellen....
... london england
Help for di6,24 please?
howdy penquis
Hi to the whole Walton clan
erda...baby's nappies...
oh duh -- Thank you!
ty Erda. pl for the di7
Molls, did you see my "cheers"?
oh.. you read that molly?
It had the makings of a good discussion before it got silly.
Cheers, Peri
:)
:)
yes.. couldn't figure out if it was a snotty teenager or a pissy old adult
emphasis on it
I find political discussion very interesting. But someone usually starts complaining when they happen here.
me too.. and I understand the concept.. that was pointed out.. but I think I've gotten more conservative in the last few years since 9/11.
going to get something to eat....bbl to finish...
there were immediate complaints molly
Well, I don't think chat need always be the sea of tranquility. That's why we have booze, Xanax and hot tea.
yeah.. it was interesting.. until it turned nasty.. some old bad blood I think there
over here with the booze please!
I see nothing wrong with politics; we are certainly all entitled to state our opinions. Just shouldn't have to get nasty, and I don't know why that seems to happen.
dibs on the gin :)
Political philosophy is interesting, but rarely gets put into practice correctly.
may be this is the wrong place to discuss politics
gin is all yours, I shall take the vodka
I like vodka too ;)
but prefer the taste of gin
And I agree Dorens, we are all entitled to state our opinion. But there are those who think otherwise and that is where the problems erupt.
this is not a political forum, it is just a game. personally I don't care what anyone talks about. If I don't like it I just close the chat
there you go peri
yup. the chat has an "off" button
Peri, this is not a "physical ailments" forum either. But they get discussed a lot. And you are right. If you don't like what is being discussed, you are free to turn off the chat.
I think if a discussion is underway.. one doesn't try to stop it .. just turn off the chat
I agree re physical ailments
darn, and I was going to talk about my spleen...
bbs to finish
ah crossy.. you're probably just kidneying
lol good one ru
if you're going to talk about organs we're afraid you're going bladder on
ru is on fire today!
no.. just drinking coffee
this grid is pissing me off
Rodney, eat your heart out
good morning Doren
I just glance sideways at the grid once in a while so it does not sense my fear
I turn off a lot of conversations here, Especially the ones about people's bathroom habits.
then I go in, snipe a word or two, then a quick retreat
there are lots of conversations here that are annoying.. but you can disregard them, or turn it off, but to direct the flow of the chat .. nah. I don't think so.
chat is like a large river, you can toss boulders in to mess with the flow, but in the end it will still go to the sea:).. hey, that is good. i should write that down:)
The only time I have ever objected to chat here is when it was openly disparaging of a poster. That, I will feel free to speak out against.
that's been more than once molly
did everyone turn off the chat?
I'm at the jazz radio station taking membership pledges on phone.. not always chattiing
I am working out fuel allowances for company vehicles:)
I'm drinking coffee and trying to wake up
oi5 plz?
oi + Spanish for day
ty, ru
Si
I was reading the story of Pinocchio (since everyone is reporting what they are doing)
ha
I'm going out to brunch with some friends from San Diego in a little while.. that will be fun
I think brunch is the best meal to go out for.
love to go out for brunch....
yeah.. it's a nice treat on a Lazy Sunday
tadone!! finito!! ty for the clues.
good going lb
We have a very nice place here at the foot of a small mountain (beautiful view) that has an excellent Sunday brunch.
that sounds nice.. a view always adds to the deal
congrats, lb...
This restaurant sits on the Napa River and has a river view
I have to get my car washed before.. so I'd best get rolling
The food is pretty good too, Ru. I think even you would be impressed. They have a Chef's tasting every Wednesday night.
what's the name of the restaurant molls?
"even"?
The Comus Inn. Have a good time at brunch.
i'll check it out later
do the bathrooms say "Going" on the door?
or maybe & Going?
Har dee har : D
Hello! May I have the stats for the 8 please?

so i don't hijack the chog,positive replies only??
stid I am sure you will find "that perfect place" xoxo
LOL I am well past halfway, but still have two blank tiles. Saanich -- how are you? Was thinking of you the other day -- with all our lovely weather you must be really enjoying your view!
i am stalled at 16...
missing 2 7's here and a bunch of 6's, so maybe a couple of combos
okay, no blanks now...
need 38 more, would sure appreciate Lickety
yes Stid, and the view is even better now that the maple has gone. Also had some view windows cut so now I can see the ocean from my bed; so I get the sunrise AND sunset now, Heaven.
hi, annie...is there no list today?
Annie, mooly has a list
Molly has a list
oh, that is marvelous! I can picture it in my head! :-D
Hi, no list as of yet...
okay, down to 87 and a book Grant lent me is calling... I don't usually make time to just sit and read, so this is a perfect day for it. ((Hugs and choclits for all)) *poof*
sanni, I am spoiled. Lickety puts the word in alphebetical order in the list but I might meander over to Molly's list soon.
bye, stiddy
bye, Stid, nice to see you
i am making up stupid words.... :o|
it is a lovel day but i don't feel like moving it's the cold.
had to get something to put over my legs because they were cold....
i need to give the lawn a final cut
be back later
falling asleep. it's the non presciption reading glassed causing eye strain.
*Imagines Pen has her choice of about a dozen afghans*
lolol....no, i have never knitted large pieces like afgans....too heavy to work with....
Well it's Mooly! Hello
Hi Rooby
!!!
as long as no one is boobie....
Dozens of lap blankets yet. It's nowhere near cold enough for that here
somebody referred to you that way earlier. I have a friend with a dog named Dooby but we know what that means......
If I ever get a dog (highly unlikely) I'm naming it Jameson
"do be...do be a doobie, a doobie all day long..."
Why?
famous Irish drink
it is chilly in the house.
I think Pen missed the 70's.
aaaah the 70's.
oh i know the doobie bros....have a cd somewhere with them....
Well, I was thinking more of the fact that a joint is referred to as a doobie.
hint pen: but I didn't inhale
ah....ok....lots of doobie possibilities!
lol ty all that got me my final o, op6/24.
just teasing you pen
np... :oD

aw, w hat hurts?
Life

Hi. Just back from church.........there is a list in Gremlinn and in MollyL's profiles
yes....just don't like to work with lists....though i may get desperate!
Thanks!
I use a list when I don't have time to find the last 20 on my own
Using the list/asking for clues or stats...it's all help in one form or another
true...it's just more work with a printed list...sometimes i am lazy...
Lickety's "putting the words in order" function can't be beat.
yes....and the places to enter words makes it easier to keep track of words found...
bbl...tennis calls...
Hi everyone. In a pathetic attemp to gather up a clue or two in the chat archive, I saw a very nasty troll infected the chog earlier. What a gobshite.
Hmmm. Tennis, ailments & bodily functions seem to be occupying Babblonia...
"gobshite" what an interesting word. :)
Combination of gob - a wad of spat tobacco and shite - the Brit way of saying shit
Hi folks
Lickety still not up
Hi Bichon
Hi Molly
hint for a 7, pls
Those who lather
tyvm Molly
ap, da, di,sa,so -- what 2 7's am I missing, please?

Whew. I thought I was giving you a bum steer, Nan.

hi all. help with ar 7 pls
Sounds like what you do with the pink tip of a pencil. Has a double consonant in it.
Hiya Peri, Molly, Nan, Bich & Redshoes
hi soodle -- was here earlier, but interrupted by a skype call from daughter also watching the fedex cup final game
And forget se, I meant pe7
ty Molly, new word for me
Bless Skype! And now there's FB calls.
FB calls?
Facebook phone calls
Yup. With FB Messenger, now you can make calls.
oh, I did not know that
All thats needed is a wifi connection. Its great. I
what is the purpose of having FB phone calls when we have phones?
found the pe -- just need the fo 7 now
nan, do you need a clue?
yes, please, peri
animals with rabies fo** at the mouth. fo6/7 are those that do this
what is the pe 7 peri?
I mean nan
ty peri -- a 3 fer
:)
pe7 first four letters of my name, consonant and two vowels
I did not know how else to clue it
I am getting hungry but will work on the grid a little more
pe + exterminate + 2 vowels
mmm - still missing a 7, but no idea what it is
do you have ar7?
Peri, no different from phones, except FB calls are free.
ah, free is good
ap, ar, da, di, fo, pe, sa, so - ?
like being able to talk face to face on skype
po7
I watched one of my favourite movies earlier. Little Miss Sunshine. I was astounded to see 2 actors from my favourite TV show (Breaking Bad) feature in it! (Walt & Hank).
watched davinci code again this am
ty molly - looking
I liked the movie, Nan, but I loved the book.
pe + exterminate?
I liked the book better than the book
any clues for the 8 out there?
pe and to get *** of roaches or ant, call an exterm. and then add two vowels.
Somebody take the bottle of gin off Peri...
what did I do?
The book better than the book
liked the book better too
haha, Just saw what I typed :)
ty mkg
Yours @ 4.31 Peri....
*Makes Peri another stiffy*
Lol. :-)
I am almost out of gin
that will put me right to sleep, Molls. I already had a nice nap after the G&T's earlier
*Sends dog with keg of gin under his neck to Peri's house*
I am glad that ruru is not here
You must be a fun date Peri : D
that would be a sight, Molls
po 7 clue please?
the dog coming up the driveway :)
As a king rules his ki7, a pope rules his po7
I don't usually drink on dates
and have not had a date in a long time :(
49 left and stuck. will go to your list soon, Molls
ty - silly word
Imagining small pooch with gin keg.... You could be onto something there, Molls
hunger pangs getting stronger, going to the kitchen, bbs
I enjoy socializing with my male friends, but I find dating at my age pretty silly
Jeez, I dunno Molls. I quite like getting glammed up & being treated nicely...
I really enjoy first dates. It's the 'gobshitery ' that follows that annoys me.
love the term "gobshitery" :)
down to 50 and stuck -- think that's going to be enough for me. See you tomorrow :-)
That comment reminds me of what a friend of mine says..."My relationships are an endless string of beginnings"
Of course first dates are fun. That's where all the bling is. The flowers, the fancy dinner, dressed to the nines and on his best behaviour.
=P =P =P That's how I feel right now. ;D
lol
Took me a bit to figure out Lickety's Clues weren't up. I thought I was doing something wrong...you know, per usual. :)
i rarely get a chance to use Lickety's anyways
Apparently, I need to start dating Canadian men. My dates usually take me for tacos or a walk in the park. Granted, it IS my favorite restaurant and I do like sandwiches in the park.
lol@ someone having the nerve to do a taco date
walk=free tacos =99cents each..biiig spenders lol
They're my favorite. I have actually gone on several dates there. AND when guys have wanted to take me somewhere else, they have almost all chosen the same place that happens to be one I don't care for at all!
Help! Oh, hello... :)
howdy jellen
Let him pursue me for free and then bank roll me the rest of his life. ;)
I asked my mrs what her favorite food was beforehand:)
lol redshoes...
That's not how it usually works, is it?
For me, the 'gobshitery' begins when he thinks that it's OK to fart in my presence.
worked for me. No mistakes and she had her steak:)
Tacos ARE my favorite food. Well, technically, nachos...and I have my own technique.
we had a taco bell here once. it failed after a year or so along with the burger king
Idk. The guy that took me for the nicest first date turned out to be poor...blew a lot of money he shouldn't have to impress me.
Steak is about the one fancy food I always enjoy. Otherwise, I have pretty specific and/or plain tastes.
Nothing is finer than a good steak prepared properly
SEEE??? I don't want a guy to think he's got to break the bank for me. It's not about that.
Exactly.
lol, I my beloved had been in it for the money, I would of been on the curb long ago;)
Oh...this is NOT Taco Bell. It's fresh, homemade, local, build-a-taco style. There are lines around the building at times.
if
ahh ok. We do not have proper taco places here.
From what I've heard, there is not much ethnic food in Canada. Especially good Mexican.
closest I can come is a flaming fajita place that does a nice job and brings it all to your table on hot stones and flames things at your table
Ahhh...well then of course he has to go for big guns. And probably something warm too. Brrrrr
Not much call for mexican food...
though for some reason there are a lot of thai places
and sushi bars..
I can understand sushi, actually, for some reason. Thai food is just everywhere, and I'm OK with that.
We have a sushi and martini bar that I have always wanted to check out, but I better take a cab if i am guzzling martini's all night
That's it...now I'm hungry. brb
me too. nom nom nom
a tad peckish myself
Especially with sushi, crossy. Not much there to soak up the sop.
looks like one of those executive three martini nibble on a bit of sushi-for lunch places:)
I've never had the pleasure.
We have a good family run steak place, and a good corned beef deli place. That is all i need... oh and a place that does great Chinese take-out
Nice. I get the Sweet and Sour Chicken without the sauce and call it my Chinese Chicken Nuggets.
mmm, I get the beef and greens with veggies and almonds and some veggie fried rice
Y'all, I am nervous. I've been out of an office for a year, but I picked up a freelance gig that's full time in an office for 7-8 weeks and it's kind of freaking me out!
and when splurging some of those breaded jumbo tiger shrimp
I start tomorrow.
you will do fine. it will all come back
I have an interview tomorrow as well after a year off
Office environments are hotbeds of psychosis. Good luck.
Yeah...I just don't want it to. :) I like working on my own. I'm NOT good with clock-punching.
Thanks for the pep-talk Molly. Ha!
well, it is a short stint. 8 weeks
Lord save me from ever working in an office:)
I've found that the only time my integrity slips is when I have to be on a clock just because. I like the work. I can do work. I can put in the time. Just pay me what it's worth and let me do something productive with the rest of my time. :P
Would be good if they had a diagram on the front door laying out the actual pecking order as well as what people think is the pecking order lol
You should come with me and repair water meters, Redshoes. it is piecework. go as fast or slow as you wish:)
Uhhhh...no thanks. I prefer writing, editing, and consulting. Livin' the dream.
Back with sustenance. Good luck redshoes!
Thanks!
I am still writing my book on the side:) it will be a masterpiece!
ohh, whats for din-dins jellen?
I must get in that kitchen soon and rattle some pans:(
Um, a cheese sandwich. Cupboards kinda bare.
But I get paid to write things outright. It's nice.
Yes it is nice when you can do small stuff for mags or web sites and get that fast cash and instant gratification. But here are 100 wanna-be scribes for every slot like that:(
there*
I've been working freelance full time the past few months. Even this gig is freelance.
I would kill to take over CNN's copy room . i think the guy they have in there is dead.
lol
stats for the 8 please
Canadian News Network?
fi 8/70
Continued success to you, red...
ty
Cable News network
I know, crossy. It was just funny for me.
One of Ted turners projects
I swear they print anything now without looking it over for readability
Red, jokes often wither up and die in here.
Hoorah! NBT! I'm meeting my goals today...
When is the big day for Scotland's vote?
yaaa for Jellen!
Thank you, crossy!
hehehehe...food time!
I think Thursday is D Day for the Scots.
Yes, Thursday. Just googled it.
Hey Jellen ((())) :-)
I wish them well in Scotland. It's way past time for this.
Hello Soodle!
Well, the Irish did it in 1922 - no reason why Scotland can't do it!
I hope they all wear blue and white face paint to the polls.
It would be nice to see the men in kilts... ;)
And those sexy Mel Gibson mini skirts...
lol
Now that I think about it, I'd tolerate a fair bit of gobshitery from Mel Gibson
You'd get it too
He's certainly full of it!
You see? THATS why I'm single! Go for the wrong 'uns every time.
This grid is not going very quickly for me. Distracted by men in kilts and blue and white face paint...
Your man picker is broken
It was faulty from day 1 Molls :-(
I think you should be able to get a refund on things like that. But then again, the merchandise being sought is flawed as well.
Must go. Lovely seeing you all...
When we had our Quebec vote in 1995 I think it was, it was close indeed but in the end it was still no
Bye Jell. Take car
Care..

Robotic narcotics

yw
Clues are up
ty lickety!
ty ty Lickety!!!
sorry it's so late, not sure why it failed and I was pretty busy yesterday afternoon
Just in time to help me with my very last entry.......
Erda, you're in the grid today. *Gives Erda a bouquet of flowers*
Aw shucks!!!!
Thanks, Molly!
wahoooo Lickety!!!
ok, I have rebooted 2x, turned off and turned on my computer and refreshed several times and still get yesterday's lickety
did you just try refreshing the page....worked for me...
Clear your cache then
Click in the page, Cntrl F5, or if all else fails search Google on how to clear your internet cache
ok ty
Whenever I clean my cache Google Expert disappears
clearkng the cache worked. I always forget to do that. ty
You mean Lickety Expert, right Bich?
when caches are cleared, dont you lose all saved passwords?
Doh, sorry
I don't think so. Cached content should be separately stored.
I don't know TO, I don't save my passwords on web sites.
But who knows, always possible one browser or another does things differently. I wouldn't think a majorly used browser would function that way. Cache/cookies/passwords should all have separate clear mechanisms.
clue for the last sa 6/21 please?
then i must figure out how to do it.
sa + **** (a violent crime)
oops, wrong one
um...i have that one...

Good Evening, Everyone (or shall I say ANYone?)
Heya Nef
hi
Hi Tor and gremlinn! How are you both doing tonight?
Fine, and you?
gremlinn, who is that beautiful girl on your profile pic?
This one's Tomoko Kanazawa.
Never heard of her (now Googling)
she looks so young; and she's a pop star in Japan?
Yeah
Need any clues?
Well, I have about 130 words left to find; but I just got here about 35-40 minutes ago. :-)
ok; I'll be around
The O's are a bit tough for me to see (I've already got NBS and NBT)
yeah, several scientific words among them
Among the O words? Thanks!
I got 3 words with that clue, thanks!
there's another O word with only one consonant
I have an O 4/5 already; is there another one?
yeah, a 5 letter
Hmmm, searching now.
Got it! Thanks! 1 O word left now! THank you Gremlinn! :-D
no problem
I'mmmmm baaaaaAAAaaaaack...
I mean...Hi gang!
hello
Hi Pinikula! How are you these days?
doing ok, nef...how are you?
Hanging in there, Pini. Life throws some curves at times; our job is to sink or swim (& sometimes it's hard to tell which is which!)
Boy, do I hear you there!
Are you surviving your curves these days? My DH has been sick again & so I'm running away from home to see me siblings for a week (this coming Thursday) -- as long as he stays healthy until I get out of the state!
I'm working on it, Nef...sorry to hear about your DH; hope that changes for the better soon!!! I hope you're able to enjoy your adventure :)
I've decided that the only way we will ever have a vacation is if I plan the whole thing by myself and then tell him an hour before we leave. He's gotten sick every time we've planned a vacation for the past 4-5 years.
(We're supposed to be in Las Vegas right now, but he decided to have emergency surgery Monday night to have his gall bladder out. Last month it was a urine infection.)
oh my!!!! (an interesting way to go about it, but if that's how it works best now, you just gotta do whatcha gotta do)! :)
I'm getting ready to smack him one if this keeps up! (jk, of course; but it is frustrating)
oh my!!!! (an interesting way to go about it, but if that's how it works best now, you just gotta do whatcha gotta do)! :)
oh my!!!! (an interesting way to go about it, but if that's how it works best now, you just gotta do whatcha gotta do)! :)
sorry for the double up...
oh my!!!! (an interesting way to go about it, but if that's how it works best now, you just gotta do whatcha gotta do)! :)
oh my!!!! (an interesting way to go about it, but if that's how it works best now, you just gotta do whatcha gotta do)! :)
I may have to restart... :(
make that 'triple-up'
ok...this is getting out of hand...I only entered it once!
LOL! I didn't remember you stuttered….
Yeah, I don't recall my stuttering before either...odd! :o)
new computer -or tablet?
neither... but a new either one would be nice! :)
Hmmm, maybe it's the site? All of a sudden things are slowing way down for me
Is it me or am i getting tourettes syndrome
Hi Nef--just came on. Haven't been on Babble for a long time--long story why--I'll email you abt it one of these days..xxx Jackie
I didn't do it!!! I swear!!!!
hi everyone, still plugging along here
<-- going to restart...back momentarily :)
Hey Jackie; I have a box to send you; and I'll also send you a LONG email from this end too!
Hi ruru and flosey. How are you guys doing tonight?
hi Nef, well here thanks
I am fine here thanks. Sorry your dh isn't doing well
Thanks, ruru. The trouble with M.S. is you can LOOK good and be quite ill. He's immunosupressed, so the tiniest infection puts him in the hospital. I can't pick him up off the floor anymore either; so that's a PIA
Gosh nef..can you get help around the house
sorry to hear about your husband Nef, can you get home support?
Our son and grandson are still living here now; so I've had help with some of the falls; but our son said that he's planning to move out in the next month orzo. I'm going to be gone for a week (leaving Thursday) and am hoping that my son will see how much work it is and that I do need his help here.
(that was or so, spellcheck messed that up!)
Sorry to complain, I just need a break and will have 1 the end of the week. Flosey, I love your link in your profile! I've seen it before; and have had quite a few chuckles from it! :-)
thanks Nef, and I do hope you will be able to get the help you need
