Ty, bro for your lists!

ty, lyn for your help, too!

2:22 am

well that took way longer than it should have. * sigh *

wtg, rose!!! I thought this was a tough grid!

maybe I was just tired.

How are you doing, rose?

2:23 am

my last were the sa's to do with a cup, for crying out loud

lol when I missed a bunch of 4 letter words, I knew I was in trouble.

2:24 am

okay i guess dee. tomorrow don and i head out for a week of R & R

where are you going?

2:25 am

and how are you doing since your injections?

2:25 am

down to gippsland and up the coast a bit to where the snowy river meets the ocean.

not sure, yet, rose...definitely not worse, just not sure if I have really improved. On day 10 of therapy; have 10 more treatments before reassessment.

Sounds like a lovely trip!

I have one spot on the right side of the a lumbar disk that still feels "pinchy" and compressed...

2:28 am

good that's not worse.

not sure how else to describe the feeling; fortunately, the pain goes across the right hip, but it does NOT go down my leg. True!

2:29 am

ugh, know that feeling well. the nerve in my knee is pretty tender. tends to flare up, and then i cannot stand anything to touch it.

2:30 am

brb, need to turn the desk top on. just remembered something i have to send to my new doc.

yikes, know that feeling, too. I love this doc and his office. If there is something for them to try to make this better (short of surgery); they are going to try it. I really like knowing that.

no prob, rose, I need to get going. Chat again soon!!! (((rose)))

2:30 am

GREETINGS FRIENDS!! hugs and love

2:31 am

fw, finally. thx for all the help. wish I could have done more (red boxes got me for 10 or so minutes) niters, all

2:31 am

done more to help, I mean

wtg, bro!!! yqw, and ty, too. Hi, pug!!!

Your help was great!

How are you doing, pug?

2:32 am

Hi Dee--okay--been awhile seeing you--how are you

lol, pug... long story; very busy here. Daughter and s-in-law moved back to this area. We have been busy helping them move and watching their dog occasionally. Had my brother visit this week for 4 days, which was wonderful. Had 8 injections for lumbar facet blocks, and am in the middle of a 20 day decompression therapy for lower back... hope you are really doing well.

2:36 am

sounds like one busy time for you. Hope your back gets well. But how nice to have your daughter near. Its been a bad week for me really

so sorry to hear, pug... will say a prayer for you. Tough weeks close to the holidays are even tougher than normal.

You cannot begin to imagine how excited I am to have them closer.

2:39 am

I didnt pass a ekg test right before halloween and I was sent for ultrasound for my heart and learnt this week I didnt pass it either---And my best friend here--her husband( a good friend too) shot himself on the 18th (which was her birthday) and he passed thursday evening

2:40 am

popping back in to sya {{hugs}} miz pugs. i answered your email, hun.

2:40 am

thanks Dee- thanks very much

2:40 am

i simply must get this paperwork sorted now.

2:41 am

Okay Rose and hugs back===How are you friend? I see you got a new doctor--glad to hear that

How absolutely horrible. The news about your friend's husband couldn't have helped your stress or tests either. That makes me teary.... so very sorry... What are the docs going to do for your next, pug?

Definitely glad you have a new doc, rose!

2:43 am

I dont know Dee--I got back to the doctor on the 5th

glad you don't have to wait too long for your next appt

2:47 am

thanks Dee--I will be glad to get it all straighten out too so I can have the operation

2:48 am

hi again everyone - can't sleep so might as well work on a few more words

Keep me posted, pug. Hope your friend finds peace and strength each day; this will be a very tough journey. I hope for your sake, all the details will fall into place soon, pug.

2:59 am

Pugs - so good to see you. How are you coping with everything?

2:59 am

3:00 am

I'm coping but its a hard and sad time for us all----got viewing tomorrow and the service Monday

3:01 am

Very hard, I'm sure. Carol must be in pieces.

3:02 am

she is just dumbfounded over it and so are all of us. Shes called a few times crying--I just dont know how to help her ease the pain.

3:03 am

pugs, don and i are having 7 days of R & R. going down to gippsland and a little further up the coast

3:03 am

Just listen Pugs - be there for her, as I'm sure you are. You're a really good friend and I'm sure she knows that.

3:03 am

how nice Rose--you guys sure need that for sure

3:04 am

is Carol on her own at her place? or is there someone there with her?

3:04 am

thanks Liz--its about all I can do is listen

3:05 am

the little girl they adopted but her daughter and grandkids are near and one is staying with her

3:05 am

It's later on she'll need you too - when others have moved on past this. That's when she'll feel most alone and will need a good friend.

3:06 am

oh, good, pugs. glad to hear that. poor love! she must be a mess.

3:06 am

Finally half way? Nasty little grid :(

3:07 am

would you be able to have her with you for a bit, pugs?

3:07 am

she is Rose---they were very close--you never seen one without the other

3:08 am

liz, it has teeth like you wouldn't believe, hun.

3:08 am

5:25 am

Good morning

5:31 am

sukee!! hello dearest one.

5:31 am

Hi Rose.

5:34 am

are you having a good one, dear? how is the cold snap?

5:35 am

The worst seems over, it's going to be around 8C today. Snow should disappear by Monday.

5:35 am

Of course, it will be back

5:36 am

I went to a murder mystery dinner last night,it was fun.

5:39 am

nice, hun. did you work out who the murderer was before the end?

5:40 am

More or less :) It was a Scrooge themed one and someone offed him :)

5:41 am

They did good for a cast of 3 and getting some audience members to play characters.

5:43 am

good morning everyone:)

5:44 am

Hi Crossy.

5:45 am

Dont know if it's my brain today but I'm finding the grid very hard.

5:51 am

g'day crossy. sukee. it is a particularly painful grid.

5:52 am

volleymomdee has a list in her profile.

5:53 am

Does that mean there is no lickety today?

5:53 am

I have Dee's list in my profile as well

5:54 am

sukee, not at the moment, hun

5:54 am

Hi Molly.

5:54 am

yay, molly. good for you.

5:55 am

Thanks, that list will come in handy.

5:55 am

Good morning all

5:55 am

knowing that, i can now go to bed. xoxox to all.

5:57 am

Take care

5:57 am

Breakfast break for me.

5:58 am

good morning all. Any help please with co7/36?

6:00 am

Thanks for Dee's list Molly :)

6:04 am

hello again, 35 before lunch

6:04 am

Saw my "Mo mo||" and all th boys

6:04 am

Hi and hugs Ruby - happy to read that the kitchen's finished and is lovely.

6:05 am

hello liz

6:05 am

It's such a pleasure, having all the tchotchkes and pictures and decorative plates back in place

6:06 am

My hubby's redecorating and renovating - so I know what you mean.

6:06 am

Tomorrow the painter starts on the upstairs, but that will be less of a disruption

6:06 am

not tomorrow, next werek

6:06 am

I think that the kitchen is always the worst.

6:07 am

I'm glad that's where we started

6:09 am

Luckily our kitchen just needed a few bits and pieces done to it - so no major upheaval, but at the moment in another room, which is linked to the kitchen - sort of a through room to the kitchen - all the furniture is in the middle of the room and the curtains are down and the walls are bare :(

6:10 am

our kitchen/breakfast room (where we always eat) needed the ceiling washed, repaired and painted, new, fresh wallpaper and the drapes cleaned. The rest of the design is stable

6:11 am

and I'm not about to change any colors

6:11 am

We had a huge crack across the ceiling, which hubby has repaired. We hope it holds because otherwise we'll have to get it professionally done with someone prepared to crawl into a very low loft space!

6:12 am

my husband's bathroom had a practically-collapsed ceiling and I had no idea, as I never go in there. It's fixed now

6:12 am

We've gradually changed the colour of the interior of the house, to a pale peach - much lighter than what was here when we moved in. Only a couple more rooms need to be painted in the new colour.

6:12 am

Thank goodness it didn't collapse fully!

6:13 am

This house was a sad, drab, miserable place. Happily, all the renovations were done while we were still in Miami. I walked around with swatches for a year

6:14 am

It is so much harder to do even minor renovation when you have to stay in the house and try to function

6:14 am

It sounds lovely now from what you've said. Our house was freshly decorated before we moved it - it had been rented out for a few months, so it was clean, which is why we've only gradually repainted it a colour we prefer.

6:14 am

moved in*

6:15 am

This place was really ugly, but I could see the potential

6:15 am

Luckily we spend a lot of time outside.

6:15 am

It's good to be able to see potential.

6:16 am

The site is wonderful and I just made the house look traditional, with warm colors and a real garden. It had black leather couches and green and white striped wallpaper when we bought it. Also, 5 tiny bedrooms and 3 toilets.

6:16 am

No it has 2 big beddrooms and 3 full baths plus 2 wc's

6:16 am

now*

6:16 am

That sounds much more sensible.

6:17 am

And your garden is lovely from the pics I've seen.

6:17 am

sensibl for us, but not re-saleable, I think

6:17 am

thank you

6:17 am

Good thing you're not thinking of moving then ;)

6:18 am

The painter said I should move to a smaller house on one level. Right!

6:18 am

When you've transformed a house into something you love, why would you move?

6:19 am

only if I'm forced!

6:19 am

Hopefully that won't happen.

6:20 am

I don't like this grid

6:23 am

I'll b happy if I find half

6:24 am

I've struggled to 70 - might see if I can do better tomorrow.

6:24 am

good night, then

6:24 am

Have a good day, Ruby - hugs

8:26 am

Oh, maybe not the best clue then

8:27 am

ty Molly, I got the na7 from your clue

8:27 am

I didn't know there were so many blood carrying tubes in the body

No - your clue was fine - it's my brain that is a problem (aorta, artery, vessel, capillary - tried 'em all, even ones that are't in the grid!)

8:28 am

I'm with you Matty...still on my second sip of coffee....

8:28 am

*Calls gin delivery service in Peri's neighborhood

8:28 am

Of course, I did get the start of the drug reference...

My bad, not yours :)

8:29 am

Matty...it is most of theword v***, blood carrying lines.

I have four of the five 7s...co7, na7, sa7/32 - what am I missing?

8:53 am

I only have 1, sorry.

8:54 am

Which one do you have, Car?

8:55 am

CO7 is a real word - someone who might deliver something

8:56 am

There are two SA7s

Hi matty

10:07 am

And, if you believe 1987's grammy, crJethroTull

10:07 am

No!!!

10:07 am

I love Tull, me

10:09 am

I got Tulled out in the 80's

10:12 am

I am not as obsessive as I was in the 80s but still very much like them/him (Ian Anderson and Band, really). I also like Fairport Convention, Steeleye Span, Pentangle, Rush...

10:14 am

I remember those bands.

10:19 am

It's hard to forget the nasal, whining voice of Geddy Lee. Although Neil Peart is arguably one of the best drummers of all time.

10:20 am

Lee's voice is almost feminine, especially in the slower songs (Rivendell, for example)

10:30 am

Fireworks - I thought it'd never happen

10:31 am

congrats matty

10:41 am

I can't remember Tull's big single.. but they played it to death here in California

10:43 am

Aqua freakin' lung

10:43 am

that was it.. thanks molly..

10:43 am

Do you think those guys did drugs when they wrote that?

10:46 am

Musicians in the 70's? Do drugs? Whatever would make you think that?

10:47 am

I do have a good friend who is into music like you are and he told me one of the best shows he ever went to was Jethro Tull

10:47 am

I have a lot of good friend who are into music and they say that Rush is the best band of all time. Doesn't mean they are right. : D

10:48 am

I am seeing Jonny Lang here in March with my nephew and SIL

10:48 am

That kid is amazing.

10:49 am

he truly is. I got great seats

10:49 am

My jaw drops every time I hear his solo in "Living For The City"

10:50 am

that's a great one.. I really like "Walking Away"

10:50 am

and "Lie to me"

10:51 am

this theater is fantastic for great music too.. very intimate and incredible acoustics

10:51 am

hi...help with the sk4/9? pls

10:55 am

sheesh...still stumped

Nice that you have good seats for Jonny Lang, Ru. He gives great "guitar face" : D

10:56 am

a+ most of Motown City

10:56 am

I love his voice too.. so soulful

10:56 am

I'm treating my Nephew to a new experience away from his computer

10:58 am

good morning :-)

10:58 am

good morning nan

10:58 am

done...happy babbling!

10:58 am

and how is that working with you on the computer, ru?

10:58 am

I don't live on this thing like he does

10:59 am

congrats phaeton

10:59 am

I actually do other stuff nan

10:59 am

Although this game is surely a time waster

11:00 am

Good for you. Kids need to be exposed to decent music today, what with all the crap on the radio.

11:00 am

agareed

11:00 am

*agreed even

11:01 am

oh man Molly .. you said a mouthful there. It isn't music .. it is just shit.. I'm sorry.. the music today is horrible.

11:01 am

oh -- just read back in the chat -- missed that you were taking the nephew to a concert.

11:01 am

you still had a good point nan..

11:03 am

The music I listened to as a kid is now referred to as Classic Rock. I'm guessing in 20 years there will be a new genre called Classic Crap.

11:04 am

I watched some of the Concert for Valor.. and it was just awful

11:04 am

glad I'm not the only one who thinks that today's "music" is nothing but a bunch of screeching

11:04 am

Well.. I can't stand heavy metal, hip hop and especially rap.. so i'm in on those

11:05 am

Well, to be fair, there were people who referred to rock and roll as "a bunch of screeching" when it first came out. However, rock and roll stood the test of time. This new stuff will not.

11:05 am

I agree. .wholeheartedly on that comment

11:06 am

I feel for a generation of kids that are going to need hearing aides at 35

11:06 am

They will probably be visually impaired from over exposure to gaming and computer screens too.

11:07 am

That's why I'm trying to get my nephews out in the world..taking them for a walk is like bring Gollum out of the mountain

11:08 am

bringing

11:09 am

at least rock and roll had some melody to it -- even if the beat was rather monotonous

11:10 am

missing one n from the top - can't figure it out

11:11 am

me too.. can't find it either

11:11 am

and the middle a.. nothing

11:11 am

found one middle a

11:13 am

was it the as 5/10? -- that's the only one I have

11:15 am

yeah.. that's the one Babblet I remembered

11:16 am

I haven't been stumped by grids like these last two in a long time

11:16 am

11:16 am

11:26 am

this board is made up of a hundred babblets I think

11:27 am

I see that Carol Burnett's sidekick is here -- not a common noun though

11:27 am

got me on that one nan

11:27 am

"like bringing gollum out of the mountain"...great analogy for exposing computer addicts to the outside world

11:27 am

I was never a carol Burnett fan

11:28 am

it's really true molly.. they blink like sunlight is killing them

11:28 am

have ka 5/20, 5/20, ko 5/18, and ko 4/8

Harvey Korman

11:29 am

I took them out to lunch for my birthday and made them keep their tablets home so we could "Talk"

11:29 am

Oh dear, did they twitch and writhe?

11:29 am

oh.. you stumped me on that one nan

11:29 am

only at first.. then they whined.. until we actually had fun

11:30 am

exactly why we had our family reunion last year in a spot where there was no internet and no cell reception

11:30 am

good for you nan

11:30 am

good move

11:30 am

It makes me sad that parents allow tablets and cell phones at the dinner table

11:31 am

I saw a table of 4.. all texting and not talking at a restaurant the other day

11:31 am

actually it was our younger son who picked the spot - but turned out great -- only one grandchild sulked the whole time!

11:31 am

My son manages a restaurant and he says that is pretty common Ru, sad to say

11:32 am

it sure is out here in Googletown

11:32 am

and Twitterville

11:32 am

There is a pathetic Eggo Waffle commercial running now where a family of 4 is texting each other at the table to Leggo my Eggo.

11:33 am

However, the youngest, who has no cell phone is the one who ends up getting the waffle. : D

11:34 am

ha

11:34 am

compare k's ruru? have ka 5/20, 5/20, ko 5/18, and ko 4/8

11:46 am

Is there a list anywhere??

11:46 am

I have Dee's list in my profile

11:47 am

11:47 am

Thanks

11:47 am

I'm drawing a blank on K, other than ka5/20. Can I have some more stats?

1:13 pm

Oh, and hello all!

2:03 pm

sometimes I add a guess and am incredibly relieved to find out it is not a real word

2:28 pm

hi, all. Just wondering abput something. Dr G was working n a new version of Babble at one point, but I haven't seen or heard anything about it in a long time. Anyone know anything about this?

2:30 pm

Hi Angel...from memory I think Crosshair said that he said that he wasn't going to put anymore of his money into Babble and had give up on the idea

2:30 pm

Why not ask HIM, Angel?

2:31 pm

'he' being DrG of course

2:32 pm

of course

2:33 pm

That way, we could all give up on this and what used to be a good game.

2:34 pm

I think it is still a good game. Has its quirks, but still fun.

2:35 pm

Today is impossible, for instance

2:35 pm

Just out of curiousity, what's changed that makes the game less fun for you, Erda?

2:35 pm

Agreed, today's grid is a tough one.

2:35 pm

Too damn difficult -- with words that nobody ever, ever heard of...

2:36 pm

Oops, just saw your response. Yes, tough grids are a grind, but I just Babble when I feel like it and don't worry about whether I get it finished.

2:37 pm

I always promise myself that I'm going to use the dictionary function and learn what those weird words are. And I almost never do...

2:40 pm

askoi, crore, huic, kauri, kore, narcein, orcein, skua, thio, thir -- hello?

2:45 pm

but those words have always been part of Babble - ? agreed that a lot of them are obscure &/or regional though

2:46 pm

Enable as a dictionary is filled with foreign, obsolete, and dialect words. Though sometimes it is frustrating when it doesn't take a word that we know is real.

2:49 pm

English as a language is said to have the largest vocabulary of all other languages. Partly it's a function of successive waves of invaders of the British Isles, like the Norse, the Normans, the Romans, etc. Partly it's the British themselves as invaders, absorbing words from their conquered colonies. And partly it's that English has never had an official body that throws out words, like the Academie Francaise, for example.

Clues are up

2:50 pm

TY Lickety

2:51 pm

Enable can be maddeningly idiosyncratic. It takes the Spanish, Portuguese, and Italian words senor, senhor, and signor, but not the French or German equivalents.

2:51 pm

Lickety!!!!

2:51 pm

good evening all

2:51 pm

Now, THAT makes a difference...

2:51 pm

hi Sprite

2:51 pm

hey lyn :) xxx

2:52 pm

And yesterday, it took the technical legal term 'choses' but not the perfectly good legal term 'scienter.' Which I really was sad about, since I have a hard enough time finding long words without having one not taken.

2:52 pm

Thanks for the list, lickety!

2:53 pm

thanks Lickety

3:00 pm

I found Erda's meltdown to be very helpful, thank you.

3:17 pm

LOL, hego...

3:17 pm

:D

yes. yes it was.

3:18 pm

lol

3:19 pm

That was before I found dr5,22 and dr6,36 -- I mean, there ought to be a prize for items like that...

3:20 pm

agreed, a nasty grid.

3:21 pm

good afternoon, all!

3:21 pm

hiya sue!

3:21 pm

How is Sera?

hi, sue

3:22 pm

she's ok, hego, would like to be running around but is supposed to take it easy for a few days

3:22 pm

we should get the biopsy early next week

3:22 pm

and the hits keep coming.

3:23 pm

Best to you folks.

3:23 pm

thanks! It does seem like it never stops...

3:24 pm

Now all we need is JMC to come along and post the whole word list in the chat box.

3:24 pm

remember that!!

3:25 pm

Silly me, of course you do.

3:26 pm

hi, Im back. Saw Birdman today.

3:26 pm

hi annie!

3:27 pm

hi sue..glad to know Sera is feeling better.

whaqt did you think?

3:27 pm

Annie, you see more movies than anyone I know.

3:27 pm

at the moment she has a cone (again) so isn't chewing herself; hopefully when it comes off she won't chew then either

3:27 pm

I love going to the movies.

3:28 pm

What happened to your dog, Sue (Not a Facebook person)

3:28 pm

Owl, I liked it. The acting was great.

3:29 pm

she had a lump removed from one of her anal glands, molly, and the pre-op x-ray showed spots on her lungs, so we are worried about cancer

3:29 pm

they found a lump.

3:29 pm

Aw, too bad, Sue. She's an elder dog, yeah?

3:30 pm

she's 9, which is getting up there for a large dog

my movie lover does not want to see it. we are seeing foxcatcher

3:30 pm

she was 4 when we got her, and has always been Frank's dog, so he is understandably upset

3:30 pm

Enjoy the movie, Owl

3:31 pm

especially after what he's been through, Sue.

well, not sure if going tomorrow. have you seen homesman?

3:31 pm

I wish I could give him a hug.

3:31 pm

ah, thanks, hego!

3:32 pm

and you too

3:32 pm

:-)

3:32 pm

Owl, No, I havent seen homesman

sue, i am wishing you a break on this one.

also waiting for the alan turing movie to arrive here

3:37 pm

thanks, TO! I'll put updates in my profile.

3:42 pm

I haven't been here since this morning and I see that the list is up

3:44 pm

good evening

3:54 pm

ty Annie

3:55 pm

That plaid stuff from the 60's

3:55 pm

done. anyone like a clue

3:56 pm

Molly, your profile message made me laugh

3:57 pm

Annie, I saw a picture of a "Wal-Mart shopper" with a full cart, chewing on a turkey drumstick. Sad what Thanksgiving has come to for some.

3:58 pm

Molly, Yes it is sad. All the holidays have become commercials for department stores.

3:58 pm

okay, you smarties, Im off to the kitchen.

4:01 pm

My friend said, "The Saturday before Thanksgiving is when people who eat out all year long wander around the grocery store looking for food they "might" know how to cook"

ty for that ma, off to finish the movie and out to dinner, happy babbling

4:05 pm

evening all! looking for co7 to finish

4:07 pm

ty Moll & voll for the list

4:16 pm

4:32 pm

4:33 pm

A delivery person

4:41 pm

ty Molly

4:45 pm

Hi everybody. I'm not even going to attempt this horrible grid. But I'd like you to see my new photo icon.

4:46 pm

Is that baby Soodle in the stroller?

4:46 pm

Tis!! Bottle in hand!

4:48 pm

I love family pictures like that.

4:48 pm

And my parents, brother, late Uncle Louis, aunt Anne & a neighbour whom nobody can identify.... Loo

4:49 pm

Loo??? Lol!

4:50 pm

Oh, I thought it was a nickname due to a bathroom issue.

4:51 pm

The photo was taken in the early (very early) '60's. Different times.

4:53 pm

Oh you must have the date wrong. You are far too young for it to be the early 60's. (Friends have friends backs you know)

4:58 pm

Public announcement. I Love Mollyl. She is a lady who knows what's what. End of public service announcement.

5:00 pm

Ah, you are among the small few here. Mostly there is just vile hate for MollyL.

5:06 pm

Blah!!! I never thought I'd quote Taylor Swift, but... Haters are gonna hate. This grid is impossible.

5:09 pm

This grid has a lot of crazy words in it. And yes, I pity the bitter.

5:18 pm

*pulls out Kleenex tissues*

5:19 pm

*sniffle*

5:19 pm

*blows nose* .. *honk*

5:20 pm

Hi, soodle and ru.

5:21 pm

hello

5:23 pm

How goes it , ru?

5:23 pm

i'm okay.. taking it easy today

5:24 pm

Got a cold?

5:24 pm

no.. too much driving for work

5:26 pm

Driving isn't a lot of fun any more, or so my husband tells me. I stopped driving the day he took the wheel out of my hands. I got out and said I'd never drive again and I haven't for forty years.

5:27 pm

hmm..

5:27 pm

how do you get places?

5:28 pm

Must admit I am cutting off my nose as I could really do with driving these days as he can't always drive because of his knee.

5:28 pm

Public transport or husband's taxi.

5:30 pm

I didn't realize you were that stubborn..

5:30 pm

or even old fashioned walking.

5:30 pm

walking is good. I do a lot of it

5:30 pm

Good exercise for my old bod

5:32 pm

Just about to take my dog out.. finally stopped raining today

5:32 pm

5:37 pm

5:55 pm

Short walk for the dogs

5:56 pm

I am on my walk resting at a park..my dog likes to hang out at

5:58 pm

hang out at?

5:58 pm

My back is kinda bugging me so i am taking it easy

5:58 pm

He likes to sit on the bench and watch birds.

5:59 pm

You need one of those long leads that wind in and out while you sit down.

glad I waited until later in the day to finish this grid; much easier now that Lickety is up

5:59 pm

It is our halfway point

any clues needed?

6:00 pm

please. lol

6:00 pm

Not me..thanks though

6:00 pm

65 should have been in there

I've got a new dog, just under a year old, and she's the only dog I know that gets more wound up from taking a walk. She comes home and just want to play. Most dogs come back and take a nap-LOL

6:01 pm

Mine will conk out after we finish the walk

that's what I wish mine would do

6:07 pm

Thanks Lickety - so happy you're here for my final 20 words :)

6:07 pm

Thanks also to Dee and Molly and those who helped compile the lists yesterday.

6:34 pm

I don't hate you Molly

6:36 pm

sa5, sa6 hint plz

6:38 pm

Nor do I, Molly. In fact I like you and your sense of humour.

6:38 pm

sa 5 - ketchup; sa 6 - goes with a teacup and sa 7 - more of it

6:38 pm

And all of your hekp with clues

6:39 pm

ty

6:39 pm

That too :)

6:39 pm

yw

6:39 pm

*brings tissue boxes back out*

6:40 pm

lol - how nice to see Dylan - or is it his ancestor?

6:40 pm

that's mr. D.. in the flesh

6:40 pm

Gorgeous dog :)

6:41 pm

he's cute.. his uncle was a gorgeous dog.. his dad was a nice looking dog too

6:41 pm

but thank you.. he's a handsome boy. I get a lot of compliments about him

6:41 pm

I love dogs - and I do prefer the larger ones - but all dogs are great.

6:42 pm

I'm not a little dog person.. I only like two smaller breeds

6:42 pm

Is his skin calmer now?

6:42 pm

yes.. he's almost 90% better

6:42 pm

Which breeds are those?

6:43 pm

I love Pugs and King Charles Spaniels.. both really great breeds

6:43 pm

I can't stand poodle

6:43 pm

poodles

6:44 pm

I love my brother's springer spaniels - such character - can't say I know any King Charles'

6:44 pm

I do like French Bulldogs too.. but they don't live very long.. I couldn't take that

6:44 pm

good evening, I am a mutt person myself.

6:44 pm

A close friend here has an awesome White Shepherd. Huge!

6:44 pm

Hi Phan

6:44 pm

King Charles Spaniels are little goofs.. they're golden retrievers in little bodies

6:45 pm

Yes, I grew up with a mutt - a Heinz 57 as we lovingly referred to mutts.

6:45 pm

I love German Shepards.. a very great breed

6:45 pm

Cute

6:45 pm

did that dog lag behind you all the time liz?

6:46 pm

;)

6:46 pm

:D you got it

6:47 pm

Had to think but got it "in the end"

6:47 pm

I would think a Heinz dog would always have to ketsup

6:47 pm

lol

6:48 pm

Fireworks - finally. Lickety made it so much easier but a nasty, bitey grid.

6:48 pm

Sadly that means no more excuse for putting off the Sunday house clean. Enjoy your evening :)

6:49 pm

have fun liz.. tomorrow is my house cleaning day. I have to get to it too

6:49 pm

Hi all.I've just started...probably not the best time but I've been out with hubby and had a couple of wines and vodkas so hopefully i'll be able to get through the grid and find words i don't normally :)

6:50 pm

good luck, Lilli

6:50 pm

Ru, i liked you but you don't like poodles so....I've been brought up with poodles, they are the sweetest, nicest dog you can have

6:50 pm

*oh boy.. can't wait to hear how this one is going to go for Lillian

6:50 pm

Poodles are neurotic messes of a dog

6:50 pm

Night Liz, tc

6:51 pm

NO, they are NOT!!

6:51 pm

If I were to have a poodle, it would be a standard.

6:51 pm

Poodles are closer to the rat family than dogs

6:52 pm

Plus i'm watching Strictly

6:53 pm

We had toy poodles and they were never any trouble or yappy

6:53 pm

ad6 clue plz

6:54 pm

Rodentia Poodle Neurotica is their Latin name

6:54 pm

My GSD mix is very barky! Drives me nutso!

6:54 pm

ad 6 is to be nimble

6:54 pm

adgile is not in the grid

6:55 pm

oh, got it

6:55 pm

I've only liked one poodle in my whole life. the rest of them are nutcases

6:55 pm

LOL PHan

6:56 pm

I would never have a King Charles Spaniel, in fact all Spaniels are very energetic and a bit too much for some people.My dog was a weimerener and i would definitely have another but i couldn't give them the excercise they need sadly

6:57 pm

King Charles are really lap dogs. and are generally very bright, sweet, loyal, and calm

6:57 pm

My brother had a spaniel, and it was a right nutter

6:57 pm

So are poodles

6:58 pm

*checks Lillian's meds*

6:58 pm

as in your comment Ru at 6.57

6:59 pm

A Facebook friend has a great Dane who thinks he is a lap dog.

6:59 pm

all right, kids, time to agree to disagree.

6:59 pm

I don't need any meds.All my family had poodles and they were all teh softest, sweetest,calm, lovely dogs.

6:59 pm

I saw a poodle in the cutest sweater yesterday.

7:00 pm

I hope your friends have a big lap then Sukee :)

7:00 pm

I am not a fan of that poodle cut. If I had one, I would never do that!

7:01 pm

That is why I don't like poodles, Sukee. People are always dressing them up and putting bows on them.

7:01 pm

I don't mind dogs wearing coats if they are little or not alot of fur in the winter but as for clothes on pets....What is that about?

7:01 pm

I remember hearing the poodle cut has health benefits.

7:01 pm

howdy folks

7:02 pm

Hi Aloyisius

7:02 pm

Our poodles were trimmed and never looked silly

7:02 pm

Hi Aloy

7:03 pm

Excuse me Molly, not everyone does that...we never put bows or clothes on

7:03 pm

trimmed is good, but the puff balls they do on them is silly in my opinion.

7:03 pm

I'll stick with my cat.

7:04 pm

there's a purpose to it phan.. but not in show

7:04 pm

Phan, we never had puff balls and i don't like that either, but when you watch Crufts, and the cuts and blow dries they do on dogs is ridiculous

7:04 pm

This page shows why the poodle cut http://pedigree.com/all-things-dog/art\nicle-library/a-short-history-of-poodle\n-grooming.aspx

7:04 pm

agreed!

7:05 pm

As usual, you have to take the \n's out of that link.

7:05 pm

I'm diving in and see how many i can't get :)

7:07 pm

My monkeys are helping

7:08 pm

a friend of mine won crufts a few years back with the Austrailian Shepard

7:08 pm

Larry Fenner

7:09 pm

His wife is a great handler too

7:10 pm

one thing.. is .. I do know my dogs

7:10 pm

Poodles are the ABBA of the dog world :D

7:17 pm

ok.. slinks off to never-never land

7:17 pm

I guess the poodle people disappeared

7:18 pm

Popping back up...As Abba were and are still well loved, i'll let you have that Ru

7:18 pm

poodle people are generally shifty :D

7:19 pm

I'm here, just trying to find words as it has gone 1am and i started just before the hour

7:19 pm

Abba is not well loved.. especially for people in elevators

7:19 pm

I only have 50 left... lol

7:20 pm

Ru, i could seriously swear at you now but even with having a few drinks tonight i'm still a lady.....so Bog off!! :D

7:20 pm

LOL lill

7:20 pm

100 here but i'm watching my recorded strictly come dancing

7:21 pm

I meant to put people stuck in elevators

7:21 pm

strictly dancing is a good movie

7:23 pm

You're blasphemous(spelt wrong probably)..hiccup...i don't care :)Abba will be heard even when there are no humans' about, a song will he heard from a phone or two.

7:24 pm

I'm watching Strictly come dancing...it's not a film

7:26 pm

It's a dance programme with celebrities..some so called...You have it in the U.S with 2 of our judges

7:28 pm

so will cockroaches Lillian.. but that doesn't move abba up the list

7:32 pm

I'd prefer Abba than cockroaches. i might not like your music but atleast you have a great breed of dog that we had too, so i'll let you off..you can't help liking your crap version of music, it'll be your age! :D

7:33 pm

hA

7:35 pm

This isn't a very nice grid.

7:38 pm

7:39 pm

8:19 pm

I've not seen that.What's it about?

8:19 pm

a mission in Afganistan

8:19 pm

Navy Seals

8:21 pm

Ah ok.Is it a new film .I take my hats off to everyone who has been out there, from any Country.My brother was out there about 5 year ago

8:21 pm

I hope he came back okay.

8:22 pm

Without the service men/women from all Countries, we wouldn't have the lives we have today

8:22 pm

No, we would not.

8:22 pm

Yes he did, thank you.He's also been out there another 2 times but doing different things and training the Afghans

8:23 pm

It humbles me that so many would put there lives on the line for their country.

8:25 pm

Me too Phan, especially when people slag off service men and woman and they couldn't do the job

8:25 pm

Good evening to my fellow babblers!How's everyone doing

8:25 pm

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

8:26 pm

Lilliann, that really angers me!

8:26 pm

Hi, Min

8:26 pm

(((hugs all))) how's the grid? should I try it?

8:27 pm

it's a difficult one!

8:27 pm

S's Stitched! 3 left

8:27 pm

Hello stidmama!How are you doing today?Welcome to grid

8:28 pm

Been here for awhile,however,just entered the chog now.

8:28 pm

I wanted to join the Qa's which is the nursding side of the army, but at the time i didn't have enough o'levels, but to me that's a load of crap, because i've worked in hospitals and can do dressings and can handle blood and have cared for people with mental health issues, and i'm not saying all service men/woman do but like ptsd, so i hope it has changed since i was yopunger to get in to be a nurse in the armed forces

8:28 pm

Hi Min

8:28 pm

I am well min -- stressed over how I am going to manage to teach everything the kiddos know while also making sure the kids who need a little extra get it while also being able to sleep... LOL

8:28 pm

Hi ((stid)) it is a toughie

8:29 pm

U's Unchained! 2 left

8:30 pm

well, I'll see how far I can get then -- it's hard to get anything done at all on weekdays! LOL some days I log in and read the chat and that's all I can accomplish!

8:30 pm

go min go1

8:30 pm

Do U have 3 days for Thanksgiving stidmama? I do,hooray!

8:33 pm

I didn't write that right.when i was at school and 17, to join the army nursing core(Queen Alexanders), you had to have 5 O levels before you were accepted and then obviously you had to do the nursing side and the physical.I don't know what the o levels were going to do to help as you could have any o levels

8:34 pm

Just found last word, but I am saving it for later on. Now I will do a story of clues. I will re-enter the chog when done

8:34 pm

Thanks Min

8:35 pm

:-) We get out at 11:30 on Wednesday! I am glad, as the kiddos are pretty antsy already. This month, we had only one "full" week (last week) and by the end of Wednesday they were soooo tired, and yesterday they DID learn but it was very hard to help them stay focused.

8:35 pm

Stid, i haven't seen you for ages...Are you now settled in your new home?

8:37 pm

yes lilliann -- but it is a shambles. Was so depressed after we moved in that I did minimal sorting... so many boxes that we need to sort through and Tom had used up all his leave so I was alone at home. Better now that I have a lovely job teaching third grade (LOVE IT!) and slowly getting ahead enough to put things away again.

8:37 pm

And I take it by looking at your profile you are now a full time teacher

8:38 pm

If you are interested, there are a few pics on my website... I would take some pictures tonight, but really it's very cluttered. :-D I made some progress this afternoon, emptying out one set of drawers of the art materials and sorting into piles of things that are still useful and things that can be tossed. *proud cleaning-up look*

8:39 pm

Brilliant.I'm so glad you are enjoying your job and that will help you in your private live as in happy vibes

8:39 pm

How are you lilliann? Last I "saw" you there was talk about re-doing your garden/yard so you could get about a bit more.

8:41 pm

Oh! And this year we actually got REAL chestnuts off our own tree! I realized that what has happened is the nuts ripen on the tree and the birds and squirrels grab them as soon as they spiky shell starts to open. So this year I started grabbing all the ones I could reach and I think we collected about ten.

8:41 pm

Not a huge amount, but it sure did feel good!

8:42 pm

I would love to se the pics on your website.I'm fine thanks.Not quite there with the garden as things crop up, but we have had a fir tree taken down which i was upset about as i'm missing alot of my garden birds who nesed in it but we do have more sun light in my lounge which i now close the blinds as it's too bright:)

8:43 pm

10 is better than nowt

8:46 pm

try this one -- it's from the summer and shows some of the furniture before ALL the boxes took over! http://tinyurl.com/qe3cuf2

8:46 pm

sunlight is good, you'll get used to it

8:47 pm

will you plant something a little smaller for them next year?

8:48 pm

The thing is, with the back of my lounge, i have a huge patio door which takes up pracdtically the width of my lounge and so it is high aswell, so with the tree gone the people behind can see right through into my lounge when the blinds are open and the sun shines through the whole of the room and then we can see the tv and it gets too bright

8:49 pm

oh, I see -- do you have that window "cling" material in the UK? There is one that blocks UV light and blocks people from looking in... hold on, I'll find a link.

8:52 pm

3M has what I was thinking about http://tinyurl.com/3chdv9z I was thinking about getting some for our back sliding door and my kitchen window -- we don't need privacy, but in the summer they face West and get late afternoon sun which heats the house up.

8:52 pm

Stid, i couldn't see your pics as it didn't recognize your url

8:53 pm

I'll have to look into the cling material

8:54 pm

stidmama.com go to the calendar on the right, the entry I was thinking would interest you is from June 22

8:54 pm

I just keep the blinds shut

8:54 pm

Got my fireworks rece4/5ly so now here is a story filled with hi4/5s.There is this dream that I often have every so often. In my dream, I am out doing er6/21s. While I am driving on th4/6way, an animal runs in the ro4/5. I slam on my brakes and the spaghetti sau 5/14 I bought flies out. As I try to catch it, I swerve. Cop sees this and pulls me over. Cop turns out to be my landlord I re 4/4 from. He finds na 5/12tics in my car. "How the hell did that get there?" I ro 4/4. He is a ru6/21 and ru4/5s my day by throwing me in jail. I end up having to serve a 3 year jail te 4/5. For some reason, I have this insti 5/12 to always wake up at this point in the dream.Have had this re 5/14ring dream ever since I was in college. Now acco4/6ing to my husband,it's his turn to use computer I will be ni 4/5 and give him computer so I do not have to in5/14 his wrath. It ir4/8 him when I babble. I hope that you have re 6/24ed more words into your list with the hi 4/5s in my story. I'm going to go watch Slugger's Wife starring Ra4/5y Quaid.I will be back later on. Bye
