wow, what odd M's - other than the fresh herb - never heard those before.

1:06 am

what, ru - is there a holiday there?

1:07 am

Yeah they got rid of Johnny Depp's dogs

1:07 am

lol!! I heard something about that.

1:07 am

Maybe Johnny too :D

1:08 am

today's a holiday in Canada - think it must have been Queen Victoria's birthday

1:08 am

it was A queen's b'day

1:08 am

well, if his doggies aren't welcome, he might be offended, I'd think - off with him! :)

1:08 am

What did they do with to dogs, ru?

1:08 am

Oh no flosey it is because i am coming

1:09 am

ah, of course - we needed a day to prepare

1:09 am

Johnny's still here - close to where I live. I haven't seen him though but I'll survive!

1:09 am

They had to gly back to the usa peach

1:09 am

Fly

1:09 am

Well he did smuggle them in!

1:09 am

Thanks, ruru.

1:10 am

rounding up lots of red carpet for ru's arrival, I presume? *giggle*

1:10 am

of course!

1:10 am

Yes abdolutely rb

1:10 am

When do you fly north, Ru?

1:10 am

End of the month

1:11 am

Exciting for all of you.

1:11 am

There is one problem rbud

1:11 am

yes, looking forward to meeting ru - and Saanich, did meet her once but quite a while ago

1:11 am

you want to take your dog? ;)

1:12 am

Like Ru said the other day - babble meets are fun.

1:12 am

Roses aren't flowering there yet and there are enough maidens to toss rose petals at my arrival :D

1:13 am

Don't worry Ru. I'm sure they'll import the rose petals for you.

1:13 am

Ha!!

1:15 am

Babble meets are the best

1:16 am

I've enjoyed my 2 meets.

1:16 am

I have really liked everyone i have met so far

1:17 am

I've only met 2 people but they've both been really lovely people :) So happy to have met them.

1:18 am

I have met jillibus. Dorens. Kje. Dcseain and hego so far

1:18 am

I've met Sprite and GrannyRose

1:18 am

Wow sprite

1:18 am

But all these people seem lovely in chat, so I'm sure that they're really good people to meet.

1:18 am

Where?

1:19 am

When I was in the UK last year, we went across to Amsterdam for 3 days and met her there.

1:19 am

Gr i can see .since you don't live that far

1:19 am

Nice

1:19 am

2 hour flight to Melbourne!

1:19 am

But compared to the UK / Amsterdam, not far.

1:20 am

2 hours? Really?

1:20 am

Yes really.

1:20 am

Australia's pretty large.

1:20 am

I guess so

1:21 am

It means it's much warmer here right now than in Melbourne!

1:21 am

You are on the west coast?

1:22 am

East coast - Queensland. Gold Coast.

1:22 am

Where Johnny Depp is filming.

1:22 am

But I haven't seen him and I'm not too upset about that.

1:23 am

Your agriculture minister sounds like a doofus

1:23 am

It's bad enough that one of our favourite places to walk is being closed off for 3 weeks or so, to convert it into a Caribbean island!

1:24 am

True but there are strict quarantine laws here and he broke the law!

1:25 am

But did Johnny really think he could smuggle his dogs in, then take them to dog parlour and no one would tweet it!

1:25 am

Yeah but you have to assume those dogs are better vaccinated than most dogs in australia

1:25 am

Why would you think that? Dogs here are probably vaccinated - they're certainly chipped and generally neutered.

1:26 am

A lot of back country

1:26 am

I can't believe he felt he had to take them with him, how Paris Hilton of him, lol! :P

1:26 am

Perhaps if he'd declared them, they wouldn't have been so strict about it.

1:26 am

I see it here. I live rurally

1:26 am

True but it's not back country here, which is where Johnny is.

1:27 am

I am not in cavor for him bringing them that was very stupid of him

1:27 am

Favor

1:28 am

It was but I also think it harsh but also think his stardom didn't give him the right to break the law.

1:29 am

Well it is over now. And a 100k trip back for 2 dogs

1:30 am

Quarantine would only have been 10 days!

1:30 am

I guess he has the money to spare!

1:31 am

BBl to finish - these last words are totally evading me right now. Sleep well.

1:31 am

Sure.. he is worth a ton of dough

1:31 am

Bye liz

1:32 am

See you later, Ru

1:32 am

as they say... the rich are different....

1:32 am

probably didn't think anyone would care a bit if he brought his pups.

1:34 am

would love to be able to be so "different" myself, lol - hope Hubby wins the lo*** soon. :D

1:34 am

That would be my guess

1:35 am

I think recent news has him with a new gal, too, maybe it was her idea. who knows.

1:36 am

He is really older than her too

1:36 am

we have four dogs now, none small enough to ride anywhere in a plane easily, lol

1:36 am

I have done that with our dog

1:37 am

definitely not purse puppies

1:37 am

Had to fir treatment

1:38 am

I am not a little dog person

1:38 am

flew your dog for treatment? wow

1:38 am

I do like pugs and king charles though

1:39 am

Yeah ..we had to to save her life.

1:39 am

I like small dogs, but not to the point of yapping ones.

1:39 am

no chihuahuas or yorkies or such.

1:40 am

I can't stand chihuahuas

1:41 am

I am off to bed. Have fun RB

1:41 am

they need to have an actual bark for me to like them, lol! though I'm constantly cringing at the sounds our son's pit bull makes - very shrill yipping when he spots "his people" out the window, wow.

1:42 am

never would have thought such a big dog could sound so ear-splitting

1:43 am

night then, sleep well!

2:11 am

FW and off to bed, goodnight if anyone still here

2:26 am

Howdy, scrabby, LBD

5:47 am

I am typing with one-hand because bunny Remy is sitting next to me demanding attention.

5:50 am

Give it to him, or he will eat your charger:)

5:50 am

I ordered a new charger in case this one dies.

5:52 am

I am taking him to the vet for a check-up and schedule a neutering. I have had him for 6 mo and he is a wild little buck. The testosterone sources must be removed.

5:53 am

lol. Is he humping everything in sight?

5:55 am

Well, me, whenever possible.

5:55 am

Naughty bunny:)

5:56 am

Poor frustrated bunny.

5:57 am

Nothing worse that a frustrated bunny:( he is thinking of all those kids he should be making:) he just want to fill your home with love:)

5:58 am

Baby bunnies are damncute.

5:58 am

and bunnies, lots and lots of bunnies:)

5:58 am

Do you have anything for the lower O in the fourth column?

5:59 am

Not yet but I will look.

Plural for number 8 in Italian

6:00 am

6:07 am

Ole Hef has been collecting bunnies for a long time as well, scrabby:)

6:07 am

6:12 am

Howdy ,car

6:21 am

Good morning

6:21 am

Howdy, Sukee

6:22 am

Hi crossy.

6:32 am

There, Half-way! That was a pain in the caboose. The back side of this grid is going to be painful:(

6:32 am

I'm almost halfway and having trouble :)

6:33 am

it really starts digging in around 50 or so

6:40 am

Well, 52 left. Going to see what is for breakfast.

6:41 am

lol, You blew past half pretty quickly;)

6:52 am

odd little ps4 in the grid today:)

6:58 am

Down to 52 as well, and I should get ready to head to class. Take care, all, and happy Babbling!

7:09 am

morning all. help with bottom O pls

or 4/5

oops, mean od 4/5

7:11 am

ty Luv

7:12 am

I saw a clue for the lower O in the 4th column but I do not know the word for 8 in Italian

7:12 am

Most of a chance game you buy a ticket for

7:13 am

Or a man's name...Preminger...

7:13 am

ty Molly

7:14 am

Molly, I left a message for Mom yesterday.

7:15 am

Oh nice Peri. Now she will know her Babble friends are thinking of her.

The to8 starts with a to4/4 correct? If so then it has to end with a do4 correct?

7:26 am

Nope. Bull fighter

well toredoro doesn't work

7:27 am

Guess again

7:28 am

... think of the pronunciation from the opera Carmen ... that will give you the spelling

7:28 am

I owe all of my opera knowledge to Looney Tunes

I feel like I am in a Looney Tunes cartoon now

7:30 am

... there's more to opera than just Verdi and the Lone Ranger ... ...

7:31 am

Okay Marc, here is the easy clue...what happens when you rip something to4...+ O Come Let Use ****e him

Thanks Molly you always save me

7:38 am

Ole!

7:38 am

lo7/8?

7:38 am

the Lone Ranger was Rossini

7:39 am

... yeah ... and I guess that most of the rest of that Bugs Bunny episode was probably Rossini too ...

7:40 am

And Wagner to. "Kill the Wabbit"

7:41 am

... ah yes ... I'll have to listen again ... it's been a while

7:42 am

You can watch the cartoons on line. "What's Oper Doc?" and Rabbit of Seville

7:42 am

Since I love opera [but not Wagner] I watch them a lot

7:43 am

Figaro! Figaro!

7:43 am

... my favourite Wagner comment was "ten minutes of supremely thrilling music buried in five hours of drech"

7:44 am

LOL dose

7:48 am

... my other opera peeve is "O mio babbino caro" which everyone at my daughters dance competitions thinks is about a mother sobbing for her lost child ... at least to judge from the number of ballet duets with a teenager and a little kid that I've seen ... ... It's really about the spinster daughter of a con man saying that if he doesn't give her permission to run off with her good for nothing lover she'll kill herself ... ...

7:50 am

My favorite part of Looney Toons opera is Elmer Fudd singing "Oh Bwoon-hiwda, you're so wuvwee"

7:50 am

I always cackle during them

7:51 am

Classic cartoons and they have appealed to generations of kids

mi5, please?

mi 5 sounds like an unmarried female deer(minus last letter)

8:01 am

... and it's good for the mi7 too

8:02 am

4th column o?

10:18 am

10:22 am

I don't know. I just, had a joke I was trying to make.

10:23 am

About the puzzle

10:26 am

Good luck with that. The sense of humor factor here is in the negative numbers.

10:28 am

well I didn't get to tell it yet. because nobody is cooperating.

Ok, I'll bite. The suspense is killing me....what was close?

10:33 am

We almost got gonorrhea!

I guess it is a good thing it's not there! :)

10:36 am

10:37 am

Well, goodbye for now.

12:03 pm

Hmm, thought that was the explanation for POUNCING on Une

12:43 pm

Une enjoys the pouncing. in fact, while doesnt expect each specific instance of said pouncing, she does expect the general nature of pouncing from me. :)

12:44 pm

Hmm, Eva, TMI for me! :)

12:49 pm

<---Totally off in "doesn't get pouncing" world

12:50 pm

12:58 pm

I'm not done! LOL Just getting started basically...

My comment was for JBs. I think all the clues that were needed have already been clued.

1:09 pm

Understood, Molly. No worries. Just throwing a little joke out there. It's ok, I've been here before. It's been a while, but I've been here before.

4:17 pm

When my sister was last pregnant she told us they were not going to tell us what sex the baby is untill the child is born...then proceeded to tell us that she was going to get some pink curtains and all girly things for the baby room..alas was not hard to work out what sex the baby was..lol

4:17 pm

4:18 pm

4:25 pm

I could tell you a story or two about the scrapes we both got into because of our very annoying sisters :-)

4:26 pm

4:27 pm

I do remember my brother was with his mates and they lit a bonfire and decided to throw hairspray cans into the fire.Not a good combo he had skin hanging off his face when he ran into the house.It looked terrible!

4:27 pm

There was a three year gap between my brother and I.Me be the younger.

4:28 pm

All but one sister are also older than me except one.

4:31 pm

Uncle Zooz

We do get on well and have a great laugh. I will always join in with their games even the girl games..lol

4:33 pm

The boy loves the electronic gadgets more than toys as he is twelve now. so is mostly on his computer.

4:33 pm

ha that's safer than blowing things up

4:34 pm

But my niece loves board games and dancing which i join in and act an idiot..lol

4:34 pm

dancing is great fun and great exercise too

4:34 pm

Yes you are right there, Westford.Although my brother was about 14-15 when than had happened.lol

4:34 pm

That*

4:35 pm

I remember board games..wish they were popular still

4:35 pm

Are you from a large family, westford?

Rats, I wanted to hear about Zoom's Twister games.

4:52 pm

hi

4:53 pm

I can't imagine playing twister now I'd never be able to get back up

yikes! the upper half of this grid is a disaster,

4:57 pm

I have 26 left and no idea where they are

4:57 pm

Ya never know, West.... That could just add to the fun. ;-)

4:57 pm

will the list help ?

no list yet

4:57 pm

you mean lying on the twister mat ?

4:58 pm

Depends on who you are lying there with!

4:58 pm

trying to remember my right from my left

4:59 pm

that was fun

5:00 pm

drinking helped too

5:00 pm

*Imagines the Soodle pick-up line...Hey there mister, wanna play Twister?

5:01 pm

In fairness, Molls, I've heard worse pick-up lines....

5:03 pm

Oh so have I, much worse

5:13 pm

I don't know if the good people of Babble can see my new profile pic? As I babble, a row rages on the TV between the 2 opposing factions. Compelling viewing.

5:14 pm

Interesting use of religion to make a point.

5:17 pm

As usual, Molly, the catholic church are weighing in on the debate. They (the church) are finding it hard to relinquish the strangle-hold they had over us for so many years.

5:20 pm

Well, whether it's Catholics or other religious factions, it seems there is usually a strong opposition to this.

5:24 pm

Indeed. But my view is - why should gay/lesbian/bi-sexuals be let off the hook? Everybody should be allowed to experience the horror that is marriage. (And that was thped with my tongue firmly in my cheek,

5:24 pm

....typed...

5:26 pm

Evening all. can I weigh in here? I don't mind what folk get up to behind closed doors. I just wish they would be discreet about it.

5:29 pm

hello ladies. May I interupt to ask for a clue to the pe6 and pe7 words, please

5:29 pm

I don't have them, Bugs

5:31 pm

I am with both you and Soodle. Everyone deserves to be respected for their sexual interest as long as they are discreet. I hate having hetero people groping each other in public too.

if you're talking about PDA, I agree. But that is not what this is about.

5:32 pm

I have them pe - misspelling of cat's happy noise + opp of on and pl.

5:32 pm

off sorry.

5:33 pm

thanks Soodle. I am sure I tried those but obviously not

got it, thx jaxx

5:33 pm

sorry to interrupt then realblah. Not sure what the PDA is

lol 'public display of affection' - the public groping etc

5:34 pm

That's OK. What annoys me is that the LGBT group won't accept that those who disagree with them should also be able to express that disagreement.

true - free speech applies to all

5:37 pm

I think they object to the disrespectful ways people object to their existance more than their right to disagree. At least this is true of all my friends who qualify

5:38 pm

There's a kerfuffle going on here tonight because a local council has allowed an outspoken American preacher to give a talk in a municipal building. He is anti LGBT and says so forcefully. He has had to agree to leave ou any mention of the subject after a vociferous protest from local gays.

5:39 pm

out even

unfortunately some interpret free speech as license to be hurtful rather than thoughtful

btw love the word kerfuffle! think we'll ever see it on the grid?!

5:45 pm

Should do sometime. it is in common use unlike some of the words we find in the grid.

true that

or don't find, in my case

5:48 pm

Some are so obscure and in rare languages and some seem made up.

5:49 pm

speaking of which, love the dr6.27. A slang word not used very much anymore - Imight revive it. Morning all

5:50 pm

loor

5:50 pm

lorm

5:50 pm

onfst

5:50 pm

tonfo

5:50 pm

nono

5:50 pm

Morning, lynx. We still use it in this country, usually for feeble minded louts.

5:51 pm

sorry

5:52 pm

Hi jaxx. As do we - though not as often as we should!

5:52 pm

I think the Australian word is larrikin

5:53 pm

that is not used much anymore - and usually for a cheeky person rather than a 'drongo'

5:55 pm

Sorry! I opened a can of worms then I skedaddled! Lol. Lovely to see old friends ...... (Lynnx))) (((Jaxx)))(((Bugs)))

5:55 pm

I think it would be fun to compose an alternative esperanto using these almost forgotten words.

5:56 pm

Trust you, soodle

5:56 pm

hi Soodle

6:01 pm

I am finding this grid hard going.

6:01 pm

The most wonderful thing happened to me today. I was cleaning out a seldom used cupboard in my bedroom & I found an Easter Egg I had hidden there in March, in case some kid called to our house & I hadn't got an Easter present for them. Chocs away!!!

hi, lyn

6:02 pm

hi TOwl.

6:02 pm

I do that with Christmas presents. You wouldn't believe that things can get lost in a two up, two down house.

need to look to some dinner. doing too many things at once

6:03 pm

Ah, yes but we women are very good at multi tasking

6:04 pm

Ah, yes, Jaxx, but an unexpected chocolate find is really special!!!

tell that to my stoamch ! :) was out all day bumming. now need to work.

6:05 pm

Are you ready to have a feast?

6:06 pm

what does 'bumming' mean?

6:06 pm

Not yet, Jaxx. But it's comforting to know there's a stash of chocolate on the premises, should the need arise.

6:07 pm

Yeah! What does bumming mean?

6:08 pm

My grandson has left one of his easter eggs on the table in this room. I feel I should be sainted for choccie resistance

6:09 pm

It means just wandering about being a bum (tramp)

6:11 pm

or "begging" as from a friend -- "bumming a cigarette," or the bus fare

6:11 pm

I have decided to give up tonight. I am off to my book and bed. Night all. tc

6:12 pm

bye jaxx

6:12 pm

Nite Jaxx.

in this case, it means shirking work in favor of play going to flea market, shopping, etc

shopping for new western boots, hitting the thrift store...

6:14 pm

ha, TO. Never heard that definition before. Wonder if it's regional ... like your examples though

one who does not work is a bum, is the origin

6:16 pm

Jwr - that's what I thought bumming was. Years ago, when we were kids, it used to be said of moochers & scroungers 'They're like a pair of knickers. Always on the bum'. Probably offensive to some minority group to sY that now.. :-(

probably. language has become so sanitized

6:17 pm

'like a pair of knickers'! - haven't heard that one before - v funny

6:18 pm

Dublin wit, Lynn. So sharp it would cut you!

later

6:20 pm

(belated hello to Soodle & TO & lynxxx et al) It is regional after all, or more cultural. American English -- there ought to be a separate word for the different "englishes" -- doesn't use the word bum for hindquarters!

6:23 pm

hi all.

6:23 pm

Soodle - caught a couple of shows on our payTV - can't remember its name - about 4 young irish kids living in London. We laughed ourselves silly. Loved the language and the attitudes

6:24 pm
