good morning all, hi rose :) *hug*

2:32 am

Hi all :) burying myself in the grid - won't be home much tomorrow.

2:32 am

{{hugs}} sprite

2:33 am

Hugs, rose and sprite

2:33 am

happy burrowing then, Liz :)

2:33 am

hugs liz girl

2:33 am

only here for 15 minutes, have an appt to do my bills then.

2:35 am

you'll be finished by then sprite

2:35 am

lololllll

2:35 am

silly rose

2:35 am

*giggle* and now for something completely different....

2:36 am

have recieved in the post a request to provide all the info i have already given to social services...aaaggghhh!!!

2:36 am

yes?

2:36 am

Idiots!

2:37 am

ahem...* received*....and i am not stressed

2:37 am

omg how awful. I am sure you kept a copy? Just copy and resent. Don't fight them.

2:38 am

I spy a rabbit!

2:39 am

grrrr.....i will have to go in again, and say what are you lot on??

2:40 am

roflol, nice opening speech. Yeah, red tape, my darling... if you aren't already crazy as a bat going in, you will be soon enough.

2:40 am

another 3 hours of my life gone....like i haven't anything better to do...lol. and i do mean lol...you have to laugh at the ineptness of most people in responsible positions.

2:41 am

it is not the people, rose. It is the organisation, or lack thereof, or overload thereof. I remember when I worked in the benefit department. It is massive and slow-moving and so so so many places things can go wrong.

2:43 am

fortunately all the paperwork is being handle by my local office. so all the hard copies are there. nah, i'm okay, really. i think it is a matter that the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing. * sigh *

2:44 am

and now for something completely different....

2:44 am

yes, that is most likely it. Best you can do is comply with their wishes, but clearly state and put in writing that you have already done the same thing, and make sure you give all names, numbers etc.

2:44 am

quickly, rose, because I have to go...

2:45 am

was up with the sparrows this AM. friend who is a heart-transplant recipient is participating in the transplant games.

2:45 am

today she rode a push bike 5km inher event.

2:45 am

sorry, must be off. Woooot for your friend, courageous lady. *hugs* and till later.

2:46 am

i am sp proud of her. she is "13" years old now.

2:46 am

xoxox sprite. catch you la5

3:03 am

one of the smallest grids to one of the largest -- in how many days?

3:06 am

*giggle* jwr...are you eyes spinning?

3:06 am

out of breath rose

3:07 am

i bet....it's a lovely grid. monkey all you like, you will find a word...

3:08 am

i have, i have - fortunately, it's the monkeys' eyes that are spinning, not mine. Yes it is a beauty - I'd love to be able to savor it for a couple of days

3:09 am

now that would be a luxury, wouldn't it?

3:11 am

Dr. God taketh away and giveth. reminds me of one of the few things I remember from calculus: permutations and combinations. Imagine the possibilities if there was just one more vowel in the top or second line!

3:12 am

ugh....my brain cell just threw in the towel...lol

3:12 am

ummmm *cells *....then again i may only have one, and it can multi-task

3:14 am

apologies - it was obviously a dangerous thought to think much less pass around. I have a few more before I'm 100 away - tonight's goal -- so I'm off to the races again. tally-ho grannyrose have a loverly firework when you get there!

3:14 am

enjoy jwr

3:14 am

oh dear. I thought you really meant the one cell. it was perfectly understandable. bye

3:18 am

lol...jwr.

3:39 am

t

3:40 am

g'day lexi

3:40 am

sorry, babble expert issues...

3:40 am

3:45 am

ugh,,,,curse auto correct...* and *

3:46 am

3:48 am

5:10 am

hey crossy! *hugs*

5:28 am

5:29 am

hi ruby, good job :)

5:29 am

{{crossy}} {{sprite}}

5:31 am

I'm glad there's nothing to do today that hasn't already been done

5:31 am

very good, ruby, you can relax and play then

5:31 am

This grid will be a time vampire:(

5:32 am

first 3/4 are really fast, crossy

5:32 am

i need this grid tomorrow lol- supposed to rain

5:32 am

Good morning

5:32 am

bad timing, lol

5:32 am

hello sukee

5:32 am

yup - ah well- will do what i can- and good morning sukee

5:33 am

hello sukee

5:33 am

I'm getting too old to clean up after cats before 6:30 AM

5:33 am

that means the final 1/3 will have been slected from the dictionary of the damned located in the seething dark cauldrons located in the seventh circle of hell... I have been writing way too much lately lol

5:33 am

LOL crossy

5:34 am

sounds about right

5:34 am

lol

5:37 am

I better cite that: (Lord of the Flies,2014, pp. 54-116). :)

5:37 am

bad kditties!

5:37 am

My kitties are up to no good as well

5:39 am

ugh, bad kitties

5:39 am

The good thing, he is now locked out of the bedroom during the day and I had locked him in the bathroom because I knew he was going to throw up :)

5:39 am

He telegraphs it :)

5:39 am

better than stepping in it and feeling that chunky warmpth squishing up between your toes at 3 am when all you were trying to do was have a quick pee...

5:39 am

Yes :)

5:40 am

warmth

5:40 am

And, of course he is now back at the food dish.

5:40 am

of course...reloading

5:44 am

I feel like I'm not making much of a dent in this grid.

5:44 am

I'll be happy if I reach half.

5:45 am

Me too, don't think I'll get there by the time I have to leave.

5:45 am

good morning crossy, g'day esme, wb sprite, {{hugs}} ruby, good morning sukee and wolvie

5:45 am

yay, roie is back!

5:45 am

hi rose :-)

5:45 am

Hi Rose

5:45 am

yay, 200!

5:45 am

*giggle* ruby, lovely to see you dear friend

5:46 am

rosie* going too fast

5:46 am

hey sweet rose of australia... welcome back

5:47 am

steak and chips and vegies for dinner...yum....tummy full. :-)

5:48 am

yummmmmy... am so hungry... but too stressed to make myself something to eat... apple will have to do

5:48 am

poor sprite...hugs and kisses my dear.

5:49 am

thanks sweetie. Your company and babble helps :) All your company, I mean.

5:51 am

sprite, did you see earlier? my friend is 13 years post transplant. i think it is amazing...

5:51 am

yes, I read it before I had to go. Truly amazing. Very courageous too.

5:52 am

((rose))

5:52 am

{{crossy}} ma4...hello dear

5:56 am

Must be the moon, sukee. I just had to go clean up a cat "Will-not" yuck!

5:57 am

ugh, crossy....

5:57 am

ugh, crossy

5:57 am

hehehe there is a rose picking my brain...

5:57 am

Oh fun.

5:57 am

I keep lots of those pre-packaged Clorox wet anitseptic wipes on hand:)

5:58 am

I have my paper towels and swiffer wet jet :) I go through a lot of antiseptic wipes too :) It's as bad as having a toddler.

5:58 am

smart. Not the funnest things to clean up

5:59 am

or a baby.

5:59 am

worse... at least with a baby you can monitor where he or she makes a mess. Cats are impossible to monitor.

5:59 am

Well, once you have a raised a child, none of it is truly a disaster, because you have seen it all before

5:59 am

oh dear, sprite...snap my darling

5:59 am

True to both.

6:00 am

hehehe yes rose, we can still do it!

6:00 am

*dare i admit it *....9pm....and bed is still unmade....

6:00 am

that is true, crossy. Nothing really bothers me anymore. It may not be fun, but I can clean it up without... well, you know.

6:01 am

*giggle* it's babble's fault...

6:01 am

My covers get turned down, that is how I make my bed.

6:01 am

223 and time for the paper

6:01 am

yay rose! Well done! It is very inviting to just crawl back in. Do you know that a turned down bed is cleaner than a made-up bed?

6:01 am

bye, kids

6:01 am

mm, just found a ai7 we do not see too often: a movable surface on the wing of a plane

6:01 am

nice going, ruby, and have a nice one

6:01 am

ttfn ruby :-)

6:01 am

bye my dearest ruby

6:02 am

I have to run too, have fun. If I have time I will be back, still have 252 to go :)

6:02 am

*woof*

6:02 am

tc ruby

6:02 am

bye sukee, have a good day!

6:03 am

ummm, sprite.....no sheets, no blankets, no doona for himself.....

6:03 am

sukee, hope your day is kind to you, dear

6:03 am

he has hands, rose. He is a big boy. He can do it.

6:03 am

but it is MY bed too....

6:04 am

so... how often have you done your bed? Time for him to step up and do it sometimes :)

6:05 am

yeah, i like the way you think...*pokes don*

6:05 am

My beloved had become such a blanket thief that I keep a special blanket of my very own folded and loacted at the foot of the bedready for instant deployment

6:05 am

lol crossy! How sweet.

6:08 am

Trhat way I do not have to stuble around the house at 3 am looking for a blanket and end up stepping in cat puke:)

6:08 am

stumble

6:08 am

that.. sigh. just translate please:)

6:09 am

smart man

6:10 am

hard to believe by my writing in here that I am in the top 2% of my class for the university writers craft course lol. Am loving this course

6:10 am

awesome, crossy.

6:11 am

good job crossy. writing and typing are 2 very different things lol.

6:11 am

I is great fun and recommend it to anyone. It can also be done via ILC online course.

6:12 am

I just wanted the classroom ambiance and the inherent friendly competition.

6:12 am

must be fun :-)

6:13 am

Plus it is great fun watching the smart assed kids go up in flames in the last two week when all the fooling around they did comes home to roost.

6:15 am

though I have been given permission to assist them with the reference pages they will need.

6:15 am

am gonna lie down for a bit. *hugs* to you all.

6:16 am

* poke...poke* well look at that, our bed is made....lol

6:16 am

tc ((sprite))

6:16 am

poor sprite. sending hugs and kisses to ease you, dear

6:17 am

what ails you sprite? Do you have a cold/flu?

6:17 am

yeah, crossy. she has a nasty cold.

6:18 am

Our cold/flu season will soon be upon us. They start making available this years flu shot sometime in November.

6:19 am

over here april/may. i always have it. la4 year was the first in a long time for me to have a cold.

6:20 am

bye sprite

6:21 am

I never got the shot in my youth, but post-45 I have gotten it every year. Now that i am post-50 i do not dare miss it.

6:23 am

*giggle* crossy i hear you, ma4. some years ago i had the beijing flu which nearly undid me. and the next year i had pneumonia. i don't miss either shot come autumn/fall.

6:23 am

One winter of feeling like my lungs have been pumped full old dishwater was enough of a lesson for me.

6:24 am

Those of us with asthma even get to cut in line and get them two weeks early:)

6:27 am

crossy, those of us with heart issues, and lung issues are always treated first.

6:32 am

going to prepare meds...bbs

6:33 am

bye rose :-)

6:37 am

Hi all :)

Dear me - I'm not sure if I will even start this mammoth grid!

6:39 am

Hi Matty - it goes quite quickly and is quite fun. Though saying that, I've still got 105 to find!

6:41 am

and back. g'day matty...it's a lovely grid. enjoy, hun. wb liz gorl

6:42 am

okay...that would be liz girl...lolol

6:42 am

Hi Rose - down to the last 104 - hope I'll get enough tonight so I'll be able to finish tomorrow.

6:42 am

Sprite feeling any better?

I'm at work - I'll never have time to finish :)

6:42 am

nah, she went back to bed, poor girl.

6:43 am

I'll try and catch her tomorrow. How are you. Mg still working well?

6:43 am

Hello everyone

6:43 am

Biggun' today

6:44 am

Hi car

6:44 am

poor matty....enjoy anyway, hun. it really is a great grid...just let the monkeys go...

6:44 am

whoot...car!!!b g'day hun

6:44 am

G'day luv!

I've dived in

6:45 am

liz....as good as it gets. still motivated...still doing stuff that i previously put on the back-burner.

6:45 am

Yay matty!!!

6:45 am

That's such good news, Rose. Really happy to hear that.

6:47 am

we have 3 events this weekend. np's with providing a 'plate' for two of them. the other i was up at sparrow's this morning...

6:48 am

Sounds like fun - Oh yes. Meant to ask - did the film go down well on Friday? Can't believe I haven't really chatted to you since then!

6:49 am

all i can say, car...it is a great grid. i hope you enjoy it.

6:50 am

lolol, liz. yes, it was a great night. about 10 others turned up and thoroughly enjoyed the film...i think it's a goer.

6:51 am

Excellent - hard to think that anyone wouldn't like the film! Are the events this weekend church ones?

6:51 am

we all had the most marvellous time afterwards, chatting and laughing about the dialogue.

6:51 am

Wonderful :) Just what you hoped for!

6:54 am

oh, dear!! saturday is st. francis of assissi day when our vicar blesses all the animals...4 and 2 legged...i am thinking of putting a colour on don...lololol. then sunday is creation sunday...both of us are hesitant to go...

6:54 am

ugh....* collar *

6:55 am

lol, the blessing of the animals. i love it! Do you bring pets for blessing?

6:55 am

other than your hubby?

6:55 am

lolol!!! Only if he walks on all fours!!!!

6:55 am

Do you have to go on Sunday?

6:55 am

absolutely, crossy. if not the actual pets, then their pictures.

6:55 am

Tell the vicar you're in sympathetic recovery from Yom Kippur!!!

6:56 am

Followed by evolution Monday:)

6:56 am

oh...i see what you mean, crossy...

6:57 am

oh, my. you two are so in sync with me.

6:57 am

;

6:57 am

;) was what I meant!

6:58 am

lolol...i knew that, liz...heart of my heart.

6:58 am

I know!

6:59 am

93! Getting there! Slowly though now!

6:59 am

you should hear don on the subject of climate change....

6:59 am

Major clash of opinions with the vicar there???

7:00 am

yup...which is why we are thinking next sunday would be a good day to sleep in.

7:01 am

*snort* major clash with the anglican church....full stop.

7:01 am

Definitely - you probably need to Skype with someone on the other side of the world too! They can only do that time!

7:02 am

I guess your surname kinda gives that clash away!

7:03 am

never mind....we just want to praise our God...any theorems just get in the way.

7:03 am

You want climate change?? You should see the disaster some of our far-north property has become--areas that used to have permafrost:(

7:03 am

Sensible Rose - believe in your own way!

7:04 am

Is that really wide-spread, Crossy?

7:04 am

very much so, liz

7:04 am

CROSSY!!!! nah, i am not going to argue with you, mate. your friendship is worth more than scoring off you.

7:05 am

Ok, (( rose)) we shall save that topic for another day

7:06 am

(0:

7:38 am

lindrick, i am doing fine. just cruising hun. letting the world bring what it may..

only way to go really!

7:38 am

How is everyone today? It is finally only going to be in the double digits here instead of 100 degrees and more. I'm hoping summer is OVER!

7:38 am

I love the heat!

7:39 am

7:40 am

7:40 am

good morning/evening

7:40 am

we have turned on the air-con. just too warm for either of us.

7:41 am

Lin...I don't think you'd like it here in the summer...often 115 degrees. But it's worse during monsoon, which we've had for a month now. It's like living in a sauna...stifling.

7:41 am

whoot....g'day annie

7:41 am

Hi, Annie!

7:41 am

Hi rose and Mimi...weather is lovely here today

7:41 am

The only good thing is that when it's hot and dry, arthritis symptoms pretty much go away.

Mimi, I lived in Toronto for 6.5 years with summers in the 40's c, I loved every minute

well every minute of the summers! lol

7:42 am

yeah, mimi...i know it....i am so looking forward to our hot weather.

7:43 am

I've lived here 30 yrs. and still miss California! But planning to get a house in the mountains next year where I'll have the change of seasons and even some snow in the winter....looking forward to that. Of course, I'm lucky....I work at home so I don't have to get out in the weather if I don't want to.

7:44 am

ugh....yawning my head off....catch you tomorrow. enjoy your day/night.

night Rose xx

7:44 am

gnite, rose

7:44 am

We've had two BIG storms this past couple of days. I loved it.

7:44 am

Night, rose, dear.

7:45 am

Have a good one, Lin!

7:45 am

8:04 am

hi...ty!

8:05 am

WOW

8:14 am

hi jj

8:14 am

8:15 am

No, Annie

8:15 am

thanks Bilt

8:15 am

re9/10 combo

8:16 am

thanks

8:16 am

yw :)

did babble take steroids or something?

8:21 am

BBL, happy babbling everyone :)

is the re 9 & 10 combo likely to be a word I've heard of?

8:23 am

means to get back at

am i the only one who finds it startling

8:25 am

Hi everyone back for more

8:25 am

jj were you here for the 744 word grid?

whoa i don't think so

8:27 am

It was earlier this year, IIRC, and Licketty wasn't up that day. And yet, some people finished. I was not one of them

either i missed that day or i blocked it from my memory

Guess so JJ :)

8:28 am

I finished that one BUT I cannot find my last one here. Highly specific clue for the tr/8?

8:28 am

The 744 grid was April 21, 2012. You can view it in the Archives.

8:29 am

And crossy made a puzzle out of it on jigidi

8:30 am

tr8...what you go on when you travel + last 4 letters of ingredient in gasoline

8:31 am

Lickety was up the day of the 744 grid. I remember wondering how many people would have finished if he wasn't.

8:31 am

bless you Molly!!

8:31 am

ty Mols

8:32 am

I quit after finding 300 without the list

i think that was before i started playing

8:34 am

crossy used to have a photo of that grid...

8:34 am

I did start very late in the day, I believe it was a Sunday.

8:34 am

I think he made t-shirts and sold them

haha

8:39 am

tx for tr8 molly

8:39 am

431! Wooohooo!

8:39 am

hey scrabs :-)

8:39 am

well i knocked off 254 words....bbl to finish...bye all!

8:40 am

later pen

8:41 am

300 and taking a break -- back in a bit

8:43 am

If you want to see the 744 grid, you can view it in the archives.

Sorry to ask again - is the 10 likely to be a word I'd have heard of?

yes it is

8:48 am

I blacked out the Q!!!

8:48 am

Show off

8:48 am

if you've got it, flaunt it. I say.

I blocked out the Q with my very first word ;)

8:48 am

Strut it, Harry : D

8:49 am

phew - talk about showoffs!

8:49 am

I've always wanted to sign on at the flip and post DONE! at 12:20 for a grid this size : D

8:50 am

volleymomdee had nbt and nbs by 12:17

8:52 am

NBT and NBS are not hard to get with a grid this size

8:53 am

I got nbt in about 8 minutes today. but nbs will take awhile.

8:53 am

nbt?

8:53 am

yay jez :)

8:53 am

Not to take away from the awesomeness that is Dee : D

40 s words seems like it should be enough...

9:08 am

200 down! still no 9 or 10 :)

did you miss the clue

9:11 am

I'll look for it later...

re9 get back at - like ... if Hamas does something, Israel will re9

9:12 am

9:20 am

9:22 am

good morning - and just in time for the re9 and 10 clues, thanks - and I was one of the finishers of the 744 - think I must have sat here all day!

9:23 am

ty

9:23 am

nbt

9:23 am

harry a few years ago

9:24 am

can someone give me stats for any 8 please?

9:24 am

I don't remember

9:24 am

this is a nice grid...though I'm below 200 now and it's starting to get hairy.

9:25 am

i am not even at 100 yet

9:25 am

in8 x 3

9:25 am

no pilate or pilates :(

9:26 am

as8, re8 & tr8 - that's the 6 I have so far.

9:27 am

I have 2 re8s and a to8

9:28 am

ty

i've got a te8

9:30 am

The 744 grid was April 21, 2012. You can view it in the archives.

9:33 am

13000 points. yikes

9:33 am

can someone clue the as 8 please?

9:33 am

is the as8 related to the as6?

9:34 am

No

9:34 am

thanks Molly

9:35 am

flosey guess that was too easy huh?

9:35 am

:)

9:36 am

bbl all

9:36 am

as + medication to reduce cholesterol

9:36 am

got 100 words found

9:37 am

thanks chris i have to think about that one

9:38 am

not sure if medication is generic to UK only.

9:38 am

tens

9:38 am

oops

no we have those in the US but you have to add an e at the end also

9:39 am

is the TO something i might know?

9:40 am

got it, thanks for as8 - no Chris, think it is pretty general

yes you definitely know the TO8

Is the medication to reduce Cholesterol the one I know - cuz I can't make it work with an a

a + med + e

Gotya. Thanks joseph.

9:43 am

does the tr8 extend from a tr4/4?

The medication itself though isn't a word, apparently

The one I have, MLF, extends from a 4/5

9:44 am

ty matty

the tr8 is like a migraine medicine (again, generic) + e

it's like a theme

9:44 am

tr8 is not a commonly used word

9:45 am

I think we all need to get out our medical dictionaries : D

9:46 am

i used Morewords and got the tr8 thanks all:)

9:46 am

i have nbt and nbs

ha i just realized i forgot to put in that tr4 when i saw the clue for the 8 earlier

orel

i just found another 8, se8

9:49 am

thanks Joseph

9:49 am

are either of the se8 words compound?

9:50 am

Yes

9:50 am

thank you molly

9:50 am

And there is only one se8

wait there are two?

oh not, ok

9:51 am

Chat can get very confusing on big grid days. You are much better off consulting the list for the accurate count on words.

well not to make it worse but i now have 3 RE8

we are one consonant short of a cocktail today

9:54 am

That is correct, there are three re8

9:55 am

No problem, I will mix up some martinis anyway : D

i am relxing folowing eye laser surgery

9:56 am

Vision correction?

should you be looking at screens then? is that too much eye strain?

correct blurring

no restrictions

ok good

but will stop shortly 311 found.

9:59 am

You can get eye strain with perfectly good eyes if you sit at the computer too long.

yes, and dry eye as well

yes for sure

10:00 am

the only 9 i've got is the re9 that goes with the 10

10:01 am

Good morning, all!

10:01 am

good morning hope you like big puzzles

talking about re words makes me crazy. i generally ind words then try to add the prefix, for long ones

10:01 am

si9 and in9 are the other two

10:02 am

the re9 and 10 today are not re prefix, they are just words

10:02 am

actually same for all 3 re8

10:02 am

thank you molly

10:04 am

is it in5-something?

10:06 am

There is an in5 version of that word, but it is not all in the 9

10:06 am

i think that makes me more confused

10:06 am

Nope, scratch that. No in5 version

found the beer! and we even have the tool to get it!

10:08 am

there's beer in the grid?

10:08 am

pi7

10:09 am

11:03 am

Could it be because if your vision problems, lack of concentration due to playing babble, an odd glass of cider, or something else, lol

6:07 pm

Hi, TO

hi, rose! ( )

Hi TO

hi jaxx, chrissie

How are things with you rose?

6:21 pm

i'm doing okay at present, thanx chrissie

That's good

6:22 pm

the idiots in social services appear to have lost all the paperwork i lodged 2 weeks ago. * sigh *

Sounds like your ss are incompetent as ours

6:25 pm

i am rather hoping that the forms are still there at the centre where i lodged them. the letter i received came from another centre in another state.

6:25 pm

Perhaps you need to prove you are incompetent to work for the SS

Do you have copies of everything?

6:26 pm

lolol....good criteria..

6:27 pm

not of the actual forms, but all the documentation supporting my claim yes i do have them.

That's a pain if you have to fill the forms in again

6:29 pm

I am glad you are feeling OK Rose, despite the loss of your forms. Chrissie, may your troubles soon be over so you can go and meet the new baby. I myself am off to bed. It is 12.30 am here. Night all.

6:29 pm

chrissie, the hardest part was finding all the documentation...i am fairly certain all is okay. it just means i have to go into the centre again, and find out what the heck is going on.

6:29 pm

sweet dreams jaxx

i didn't like it at all after the first 300 words...

8:51 pm

8:52 pm

I think the generic name is evergreen, but I would have gotten your clue Pen. Sometimes we fudge with clue language.

8:52 pm

*Hands Pen some "finisher" champagne

8:55 pm

ty molly...i can use champagne!

8:55 pm

8:55 pm

yes, i live in the pine tree state....

8:56 pm

8:59 pm

9:00 pm

Well I'm one of those "people from the States" and I know the difference between several types of evergreens. : D

9:02 pm

I didn't say everyone, Molly - just some -- from the south

9:02 pm

9:03 pm

and I think most know the term evergreen, but wouldn't be able to recognize a pine from a fir from a spruce, cedar or hemlock

9:03 pm

That's interesting. Several southern States have pine trees named after them.

9:05 pm

my husband conducted tours through the rockies for a while -- you would be amazed at what you would think is common knowledge, but isn't

9:08 pm
