Luke is in 11 and Maddie is in 12... almost finished!

Like week hunny!

glad to hear it sweetie
good morning all
ships... 10 Ks.
{{hugs}} and good morning dear friend
ahhhh there she is, lol. I was wondering if I had scared you away ;) Good evening my darling *hugs*. How are you today?
walking with no back pain. washing dishes without pain. i guess that makes my day pretty good. how was your night?
no pain is awesome. I am so happy for you. My night was ok. Pretty heavy dreaming, but not quite nightmares.
ks killed
that sounds good. how is the head? thunderstorm been and gone yet?
oh well done sprite. i know how much you love k's.... not
nope, still lingering, or new building. Pretty sick and tired of it, to be honest.
as i would be also. you poor love.
one day, I should sit down and learn all the k words in the dictionary.
ah well, very minor issues on the babble scale of things atm.
won't do you any good unless you consume at least four different languages.
lolllll too true
name that proper noun, Number One in the Star Tr4 series with captain Picard...
tick tock thinking.....
Riskier and hi and hugs
Riker
{{hugs}} lizgirl and hi
lolol Liz, I bet you had it right and the autocorrect wrecked it... hi Liz *hugs*
dingdingding, Riker it is :D
at
Thanks for the email Rose. Glad it went well on Monday
and hi flosey too :)
Of course, sprite
hey ya flosey. you still here?
But my fault cos I'm also watching Silent Witness
back, can't sleep, and so tired!!
Hi Flosey
*ki4s TV for Liz*
No!
argh flosey, am so sorry :( That is so rotten, to be dead tired and not able to sleep
Sympathy from me too Flosey. Hope you sleep soon.
name that proper noun, Dorothy's doggie
Toto
dingdingding Liz wins the toaster!
Yay!
Congrats on the k's. Still missing 2 of them.
the Ks have 3x6
Have ki 6 x 2
he who makes dead and the top of a volcano?
I'll have to think about year.
That. Wrong fingers.
*giggles*
Probably will have to think that long too!
the 3rd one is ki + not a tortoise but a tu****
I have the ki words
So what am I missing?
ah, then you are missing kr6, top of a volcano.
Found it. Thanks
good! And my clue was not correct, I just found out. It is the DUTCH word for top of volcano... but in english it means "a mixing bowl characterized by a wide mouth and body with two handles projecting vertically from the juncture of the neck and body, used to mix wine and water"
hang on!! i have one in the back of my cupoard... lollll
lolllllll
I just thought it was a sounds like - different first letter. Extinct volcanoes have them at the top.
of course, mixing wine and water would be illegal in this house...
Why dilute?
ah right. Of course. THAT is what I meant, Liz (cough cough)
absolutely.
Just agreeing
a waste of good wine
As long as it is GOOD wine
but if it was a bad one, diluting may be the only way to drink it. i mean, you would dilute vinegar wouldn't you?
*giggles* Yeah, with bad wine it would just be contaminating good water.
Or not bother?
actually no. I would drink the water then.
how about adding orange juice?
orange juice and mineral water. Sooooo good together.
To champagne?
hm I think that would work too
liz, proper french champers needs no help...
Bucks fizz
champagne is wasted on me. never managed to acquire a taste for it. Give me beer, any time, over wine.
Some do! But not a Bolly!
hiya zooz :) *hugs*
Hi Zooz
one christmas my brother had us all tiddled on champagne cocktails.
g'day zooz
Liz and rose and zooz, puglet sends her love and hugs and apologises for not keeping up with chat/email
ah, thanx sprite. i will write over the next day or two.
I owe her an email :( bad me!
hello all :-)
she will love to hear from you guys.
We called it bucks fizz orange juice and champagne not sure why.
it has a nice ring, zooz
Almost time for dinner here so hugs to all.
*hugs* Liz and enjoy your dinner
i wrote to her a few weeks back. then ruby's news happened. i meant to write pugs again.
rose, you got my la4 email, right?
enjoy your evening lizgirl. xoxox
yeah poor ruby. I hope she came through yesterday ok.
phantom: grotto
yes, sprite. that is what prompted me to write to pugs again.
great rose :) She'll love that
off again, gotta get some sleep, see Dr. tomorrow
sweet dreams dear flosey. xoxox
night night flosey, I hope all goes well for you
te8/9 was a new one for me. In case you wondered: a spherical magnet used to simulate the magnetic properties of the earth
ugh, weather going to become very cold again by the weekend. today was quite lovely. still cool, but bearable.
aw poor you. Prepare the layers :)
it will be interesting to see if the bones feel the cold post infusion.
would be awesome if they didn't
good morning!
Treatment underway, so far, so good
hello dear ruby :) How did it go yesterday and how are you feeling?
{{hugs}} ruby. good morning. how did you go yesterday?
was it as unpleasant as you expected?
I took my first pill last evening and the doctor told me I had to adhere to the morphine schedule. I had let the pain get ahead and was losing badly, to the point where I had to use a wheelchair at the hospital
My friend, Catherine, took me and stayed weith me, so it was almost a "girls' day out|"
sounds like a good idea to stick to the schedule, ruby
listen to your doctor ruby. take the pain meds please darling.
am so glad it went ok.
yes you must. Pain eats energy, as you well know. And you need your energy to fight the cancer.
I was trying to get by with fewer because of the side effects. But the pain totally saps me and yesterday morning, I could hardly walk.
I've started eating again and have already gained a lb.
good, ruby! Wow, you are such a hero. Goooo girl!
Meals on wheels started yesterday and B. and I split it. I loved it' he didn't
he'll just have to bear it. He is spoilt rotten, now he has to adhere to normal treatment, lol
yay for you ruby. well done.
And I'm sending him to ault daycare, starting at lunchtime, tomorrow. He won't want to go, but I'll try to force him
any news about Burt's hospital examinations?
btw, i may not be here tomorrow night. we go out to son and his wife's home to celebrate Braxton's 2nd birthday.
((Ruby))
{{zzoozz}}
ah, right. Very good, ruby. Yes, make him go. Too bad if he doesn't want to. Things have changed and right now you and your needs have to come first
oh how lovely, rose. Enjoy it :)
Not much to say about him, beyond what we already know.
wow those two years have flown by, rose!
I tried to get his daughter to come to help with this transition, but she has a broken toe and can't travel....
fireflies. A big *hug* to you all.
ah that sucks, ruby. I hope she will be able to come in a few weeks then.
WTG SPRITE!!!!!
yes they have zooz. {{hugs}} sprite. i hope your day is an easy one.
and there goes the timer so dinner is ready. xoxox to you all. see you tomorrow.
Congrats, Sprite!
Enjoy your meal, Rose.
bon appetit
yesterday, there was a very affable Dutch lady in the pharmacy, but she couldn't communicate at all. I thought everybody in Holland could speak English
I would of thought so, Ruby.
I take it she could not speak french either?

Hello, Aussieme :-)
Hi Aussie
Diving in..... back up for air in a bit..... how's the grid today? Yesterday was a stinker for me.
Not too bad so far although trying to get my last 6 Ps
Hi, Aussie (& Zooz & Peri!), it's less of a stinker, but it does re4/8
Still need 36 words altogether though.
Hello, JBsAnno :-)
good morning, everyone
Hey Anno! Hey Nan
Yeah, those Ps aren't popping for me either, zooz!
Hi, nan!
hello, Nan :-)
Aaannd, I am halfway, with 2 blank tiles and one blank stat (of course, it's the 9!). Will BBL to finish. Have fun, everyone!

TR 7/32 is the Tr7 missile.
ty zoom -- think of what you hold over your head when out in the rain
te9...t + mistake + last 4 of bumbershoot
Plural, the te9 is a plural, sorrry
thanks molly
not sure eveyone knows what a bumbershoot is, molly - lol
So sorry I put three Rs in it
but that is a 8
Plural, plural, plural
plural it, mlf
Well Nan, rain shield didn't work, but I think that is because it didn't say last 4 letters
it wont plural
thanmyou very much, Nan & molly!!
oh never mind
It does plural, you must be spelling it wrong
lol
good grief what happend to my spelling there.I meant Thank you .
Do not remember seeing that word in the grids before.
Zoom I think we spent too much time at the bar yesterday
zooz I must be rubbing off on you lol
LOL yes maybe, Molly.maybe :-)
Nothing wrong with your spelling, Mlf :-)
nbt and nbs
glad I knew what a bumbershoot is!
Good morning, all!
Hey Judi!
mmph -- thought the er 6 was already a plural!
It is Nan
so why is there an er 7?
Hello, Judi :-)
yeah I know --- ours is not to reason why...
Two ER7s
Forget that..scrub what i just said.
only one, zoom
I was thinking of EN7s..lol
compilers not familiar with Latin...
Yes, no sense to be made of Enable
When you are obsessed with foreign currency and oddball mammals, Latin is a trifle.
LOL

diff spelling of holes on the moon?
snap!
GMTA Zooz

Hello, Dawg :-)
Hiya, Zooz!
I'm so glad to be back, some of my very favourite Babblers from way back when have been here!!
Hi zooz, dawg, Aussie, nan, Molly, erda, Mlf, and lurkerz :)
Hey how did you get that picture of me as your icon, Dawg..teehee.
It has been forever!! what's been happening?
Hey Kate!
hi Kate!
Hello, TK :-)
how's the grid shaping up for all of you?
Well, I'm now a Care Assistant in a Dementia Care Home, and I love my work. Rewarding, hard, but wonderful. My not so little girl is now 9 years old. This year will see me married 21 years to my Mr Wonderful. I'm not too bad health-wise either, so that's a bonus. *back on insulin for my diabetes but it's doesn't get any worse than that*
Less of a stinker than yesterdays grid Kate, that's for sure!
85 remaining...li4, finding hens teeth
Or a cheese wire sharpner.
Aussie, that's awesome news! I bet the nursing work is harder than you're telling us. Dementia is so hard to watch and the family dynamics.
*disappointed, there's no Hawaiian Goose today lol*
lol zooz
It is hard lbd, but well worth the smile and the hug from someone going through it.
*giggles, nekid in the grid.... my inner child is happy*
my mother is in dementia care aussie. i know how hard the nurses work to care for them
that will make stiddie happy too :)
Aussie, are you a geriatric nurse?
It's worth it for me ivesy, well worth it.
Not as such Molly..... Most of the residents are over 80 though, and we have a beautiful lady who will be 102 this November....
so nice to hear.. she has some great nurses. and belive me she is not an easy woman in the best of times
6/18 following more unique, please?
*wonders which kind of 6/18 Nan wants*
ra itink
ra 6/18, please?
ra +i Mi****....

I have a re6/18

*sneaks off to the PB quietly*
Come with me mael, we have chcoclate kisses in the PB today....

I thought they were both RE 5/10.
So many Rs it is hard to know which one comes from which..lol
I need a cup of rosie lee.bbs
just need that re 8 to finish the r's
I've got one of those already Zooz....
I am scurrying around because I think I ate all the candy kisses in the PB.
Nope, I bought some with me aeb.... LOL.... just in case....
Re8 Tall grass + another word for similar.
it is a compound word.
ty zoom
Welcome.
No off to get my cuppa.
good ....Aussie, I was trying to find some I might have left behind or some other candy for you two.
it's all good aeb, I always bring some just in case :D me and the PB go waaaaaaay back ;D
Please don't say candy. I'm on a diet.
need a break - bbl
**puts fruit in the PB for Judi,just in case**
Ty ty.
is there room in the fridge with all that awful Aussie vegemite in there?
there is, and hey, I LOVE vegemite ruru... my favourite thing on toast.
*whispers* Maybe we can convert her to Nutella, Ruru.
vegemite is awful
**I am diabetic Judi, I can resist very well**
I think it is recycled kangaroo crap
no point trying to put me off ruru, I love it lol
Well, that explains the Vegamite, Aussie. Vile stuff.
I think it's a strange case of Acquired taste aussie
Then again, what American food do you think is weird and awful?
As we say here in the UK marmite you either love it or hate it.
well.. judi.. you can start with Liver and Onions
Ah well, can't please 'em all..... I don't really know Judi.....
True Zooz
and lima beans
ooh I love liver & onions!
Nope, you can keep liver...... I can't stand the stuff.
ugh zooz
hehe
*gags*
lima beans are the Abba of the bean world
With mashed potatoes and gravy!
hahaha not keen on lima beans.
but you do like human beans(as they say in Boston for beings) don't you guru?
And you leave ABBA out of this, ruru!
I mean ruru
methinks ruru really dislikes Abba intensl..y
I likes human beans I does.....
whatever gave you that Idea TK.. :D
Just a tad, TK..lol
they cook up nicely on a low heat ;)
what, human beans Kate?
and with a little tabasco.. Mama MIA!!
yes Aussie ;)
Oh lol!
Hey you do like ABBA, Ruru!
no.. zooz.. it's like chalk on the chalkboard for me
psst...ruru is a closet Abba fan....pass it on...
I'm not getting any words on because I'm talking too much lol..... I'd better go st5 the tea, my Hubby has work tonnight..... Later peoples......
But you were just singing there song..mama mia..here we go again..my my!
methinks thou dost protest overmuch
How can I resist ya?!
How can I resist ya?!
I wish there was a island we could send some of these aging band and awful musicians to .. so as to leave us alone
So good I sang it twice ;)
bye Aussie :)
Send Abba here, ruru!
hello 231 to go
see you aussie
take a chance take a chance take a chance take a chance take a chance
Give me Iron Maiden any day of the week (or weekend come to that)
Is aussie going?
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAh
heehee
Aussie is going now.....Ne4 to get the tea on before Hubby gets up for work Zooz..... Later all.... *poof*
If you're all alone and the pretty birds have flown..take a chance on me.
Hi Harry, jane and ruru...
Got me going on that song now, Harry!
such deep meaning on that verse huh zooz?
Toodle pips, Aussieme :-)
Our Oldies station plays Inna Godda Da Vida, the long version, interspersed with ads about enlarged prostate and assisted living. I have arrived at, um, a very strange version of Old Age.
Yeah..just means if you are desperate I am still available..lol
abba is kind of like bubble gum. a little flavor, but once you get past the first few chews, there's nothing there, and it's just this annoying rubbery thing stuck in your mouth. and it makes holes in your teeth. and gets stuck to the bottom of your shoe.
but somehow, it's still fun to chew once in a while... ;o)....like Wang Chung, my guilty pleasure...
hahaha I like your analogy, Harry :-)
I'd rather suck the wrappers
Yeah right on, Pen!
as long as you can spit it out real quick before it gets insipid
small doses, harry...
that is right from the get go harry
The thing I had trouble with was Irish pudding. It didn't taste bad, it just wasn't pudding.
well on that note, i am going.....btw...i don't own any ABBA music, but I do have some Wang Chung... ;o)
Gesundheit.
irish pudding? what does that have to do with abba?
have fun tonight pen
eew i hate black pudding, Harp.
ty....bye!
maybe spotted dick does
I have lots of Abba songs.Yes i said songs, Ruru..lol
Toodle pips, Pen :-)
92 remaining words on this grid. I'm stuck.
I like the idea of the Island of Has-Been Bands.
me too
i'd start with the Stones and the Who and lynard skynard
I'd like to nominated The Rolling Stones, Bruce Springstein, Journey, Styxx (and all similar sounding bands), and The Eagles.
You two are just mean :-(
And Pink Floyd!
probably sir paul McCartney too.. with his 23 year old wife
I still kind of like The Who.
he can't sing anymore.. he should just stop
no no you can't have it both ways, Judi.The who will have to go too.
Nah. Sir Paul can stay. He's a genius. No where near annoying as John Lennon and Yoko Ono.
(that was for Roger Daltrey
Paul McCartney can still sing
Can he?
Very fond of Styxx....you may not banish them! They still sound great live
yeah.. we can send Yoko there
bbl
Ack Ack!
lol
Just keep the Village People state side.
toodle pips, Harry :-)
Bob Dylan too
Yoko has been there all along...
It's the only song I can dance to
yoko is her own island
DEFINITELY Bob Dylan.
what about Tom Jones?
and Neril Young (who, imo, could never sing) though I knopw he has fans here - in the chog yesterday?
yeah.. tom has to go
Technically, Tom Jones is not a rock star/band.
He's more of a lounge lizard.
neil young for sure
hahahaha!
he still pulls in the ladies...
my mother had the hots for tom jones
wham?
(that's the kind of ladies he pulls in now)
Oh good grief, Tk..Really?
no wham we send to some men's bathroom
Yoko should be used as shark bait while on the island.
LOL judi
LOl
You lot are really bad!
lol ruru... though i really did like them at the time
One word. Bowie.
boy george
oh.. bowie is tragic now
Now he is great, Kap!
Thank you, Kap. Bowie never was from this planet anyway.
no he isn't zooz
yes, send the newer version of bowie...
Sting and the Talking Heads get to stay
Same for Marilyn Manson.
Why is that, ruru.although i must admit to hearing any new songs from him.
yes! and roxy music too
oh.. god..
Talking heads are amazing!
Amy Winehouse for jazz vocals.
I loved roxie music
You all are lucky that Trif isn't here. She adores Bowie.
Not into marilyn manson what so ever.
And you might as well carve out the entire genre of Disco and throw that into the volcano as well.
well Amy already beat you to it kaplan
nothing worse than old metal bands with thickening middles and thinning hair...
The Animals
Imagines Robin Gibb getting tossed in the volcano
I think Bowie is great, Molly. amazing.
Oh wow, ruru.you reall are trying hard to get these groans..lol
*pipes in sound of cheering natives*
Um Ru, Robin is no longer with us. But you can toss Barry in.
*staaaaaayin aliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiveeee
oh barry ..the creepy one
ah ah ah ah staying aliiiiiiveee!
sorry.. I mixed up my beegees
the got-to-have tune for CPR these days
The BeeGees before disco were amazing. First of May; New York Mining Disaster 1941.
I meant barry
But Robin lives on through Timberlake
haha i have seen that advert, TK..lol
:)
yes.. I agree Kaplan.. that's pretty true
Tom Waits for no one and it wont wait for me
(readies for backlash)...Michael Jackson
Is tom waits still going..wow?
Disco, what a horrible time in music history
<--not that he's memorized beegee names to begin with
Not all bad. Gloria Gaynor?
thank goodness new wave came along to shoo disco away
no speaking ill of the dead, or I'll play the Buddy Holly card
buddy holly stays...
rave oon :D
Richie Valens.
I had some gay neighbors that would blast Gloria Gaynor at their backyard parties
No. All Disco must go to the Island. Buddy and Richie are staying.
Well I don't care what people think. Disco, michael jackson etc is all good to me.
The only thing Gaynor is famous for is the tribal song of the sisterhood
... must deprogram zooz...
buddy Holly..classic!
A disco intervention is in order.
Michael had an enormous talent.
LOL, Judi.
This is starting to sound like an Umberto Eco novel I read once. Stranded on an island where time got lost.
you are entitled to your opinion zooz, perhaps you would like to be deported to the island as wel, lol... just kidding - you MUST stay
some musicians end up in a videophile library.. Michael Jackson ending up in a pedophile library
Oh gosh that has left it wide open for, ruru, Kap!
that's what the little boy said kaplan
Hey, TK, with all these great talents going to the island..send me there!
eww, ruru!
10:44 zooz ;)
I know.that was in response to that :-)
<--predictable
Teehee!
ah, you would be gr5ly missed zooz
MJ was a wasted talent once all the pedophile stuff became public. He creeped himself out of recognition.
he was a great entertainer that's for sure
yes, |will give kudos for the talent.. but what amangled specimen he became -so sad really
I agree Judi. Michael Jackson was as talented a musician as Prince, who is equally weird.
we can send his brothers to the island though.. and that creepy latoya
especially that greasy Jermaine
wasn't she the one with the "wardrobe malfunction"?
no that was Janet
Yeah. That is one effed up family.
good grief hope this is going to be a big island.
Obviously, it will have to be HUGE, zooz.
*wonders if they'd take Nicole Kidman too*
which of course, brings us to the Osmonds...and Donny dearest (though I saw him in Joseph and the technicolour dreamcoat and he was fantastic)
Kidman goes to the island of untalented actors.
No good here then.This island only holds 90,0000 people.i think we are nearly upto that already..lol
She did one great movie that's it
Yep, The Hours. The extent of her talent.
Oh no. Can't send the Osmonds. They are too squeaky clean. And nice. And Donnie keeps getting better looking.
no room for actors on the island - they will have to find their own
exactly molly
Yes. Actors must be segregated.
Yeah, well they said the Duggars were squeaky clean too Judi.
(sends Mitt Romney to Judi's house)
send aging actors to Scientology.. that' just as good
Mitt can come over. As long as he brings his money.
polititians get their own rock to cling to - in shark-infested waters
I'm going to have to put on heavy metal to get rid of the ear worms now.... bbl
lol, Harp.Enjoy.
ha! found an 8!
Gotta agree with you on that one, Kate.
I still don't see that te9

congrats dawg!
before i go, has anyone ever heard of washing fresh cherries in vinegar water?
no -- why would you do that?
Not me, T Owl.
sweet and sour cherries?
because they are heavily sprayed
to clean or as prep before cooking?
it is to keep them fresh.
to prep for eating
I buy organic cherries
It kills any mould spores that might be there.
Just googled it.
best way to keep cherries fresh is not to wash them until you are ready to use them -- that is true for most fruit since the tap water certainly isn't sterile.
yes, esp for tender fruits like berries
http://tinyurl.com/qc5jmkp
on my way -- back at the flip. hagd everyone
Toodle pips, Nan.
bye all
Toodle pips, T Owl :-)
your link doesn't work, zooz
it worked for me erda
just tried it.it works..maybe a bit slow, Erda.
maybe it works in Canada......
Howdy do
Hi cos :)
hihi
"not found in the dictionary"
hi curi
The link worked for me, so it works here in these United States
hi traderkate
However, I don't think rinsing berries with vinegar is necessary
maybe TO is too sweet and needs to balance it
have a FUn day :)
Back all.....
We have a huge cherry tree in our garden. We planted it as a miniature one but no-one told the tree. The cherries are big and black and called 'sweetheart', something similar to your Bing cherries. We don't use sprays in our garden so we just rinse and use the fruit. We are in the middle of making jams and jellies.
Hi Aussie, how was hubby's tea?
Yummy!
hi jaxx, yummy!
Indeed. Picking the fruit is a problem as the 'miniature' tree is now over 30ft high. We have to fight the pigeons off when the fruit is green and small and the blackbirds when it is ripe. Plenty to go around tho'
Hmmm, a small st4 wars character is in the grid today.

Characters in the comic strip "Bloom County"

Oh, that is one who does the word before it
that's what we've beencluing.
Now I'm all confused. What Hego said
I've tried every combination I can think of -- nothing is working
The last part of the word sounds like a kid's three wheel cycle. It means not love but...
a compound word. 2 four letter words.
think of Sally Field at the Oscars.... They really **** me!
doe, a ****, a female ****..... + akin to/similar or lighter version of love?
The last part of the word sounds like Tyson the boxer

rrkee
You can call me whatever you want, just do not call me late for breakfast:)
I will be able to manage that now, thanks
Hi Gang
I am not an early riser crossie. You can make me breakfast somewhere after 10:00 every morning
Hi Hego!
hego! join the party
hi Hego
lol. Hi All
10:00 A.M??!!! day is half-shot by them. I am up around 4 or 5 and brekkies is 7 A.M :)
Sounds like the middle of the night to me....
my heart does/t even beat at 5 and I could just be heading to bed at 4.
the joys of retirement and no kids at home Cross...I breakfast after walking the dog - commonly 11 or even noon
There's a four O'clock in the morning??!
lol. One the flip side of that is I bolt my front door and turn the porch light off at 8 P.M you want me after that, it better be an emergency:)
lol
right lynxx. I am not ready to eat as soon as my feet hit the floor
Nope, I need coffee and space before I eat.
sadly, Lynxx, i find that the older I get, the earlier I awaken. I have not set my alarm clock in over 2 years:(
You would have been the neighbour my kids hated crossie. One old guy went to bed before 8 but I still let them play outside until 8 in teh summer.
I have never used an alarm - ever
lol. I am still up till midnight
I have to use an alarm now because my schedule is never the same and I don't trust myself not to wake before I have had enough sleep
4-5 hours max, then my eyes open up and it is bladder o'clock:)
that doesn
that doesn
that doesn't mean (I mean) that you have to get up for the rest of the day
I could have 9 alarms and still not get up.
My mind starts cranking over once I am awake:(
hello....
the detritus of my mind...
Hi Penq
Hi Penquis
hi Pen
hello folks
Hi Peri
hi Peri
Howdy, peri
Hi all and good morning from Aus
Howdy, Liz
At least this cool, damp weather means I've got more time for these large grids.
morning Liz
20C and sunny with a breeze of the bay here. perfection:)
Morning, Lyn - any warmer down there?
Sounds lovely Crossy - the temperature's not bad here but the wind chill's not nice.
:(
a bit cooler than yesterday - but beautiful clear skies (at the moment)
Bye all
tc, lynxx:)
Enjoy your day
help with either pa8/45 pls. I do nothave the pa7 before them
NM found them all
what's the 9?
te 9/54
well it is not terratera - which it is freaky that such a 9 letter combination could appear in the grid
it ends like what Mary Poppins carried
it's a plural too
name that Vulcan... ;o)
just finished, any clues needed?
Sarek...I'm so embarrassed to know that
Give the woman a prize!
what/who is sarek?
See question at 7:24
I don't know anything about Vulcans. I guess it is from a movie.
Star Trek. You've really never heard of Vulcans? As in Mr. Spock, Leonard Nimoy?
Spock's father...
sarek!
I know of Mr. Spock and Leonard Nimoy. saw the first movie many years ago
now I know
sarek is one of the greatest characters ever
mark lenard always portrayed him so well
Hursh missed my answer I guess. I'll share the prize.
yes, very well....
I may need to borrow the movie from the library to refresh my memory
so gracious of you, molly...
yeah i was off brushing my teeth sorry :)
so I have to ask if Riverdance and I are the only ones watching sharknado3 tonight?
Oh don't be sorry about brushing your teeth : D

Yes

they work in a bank
oops not a word
that word is not here...
i'm trying to monkey it pen

Hi, penquis, it rhymes with a weasly animal that some people keep as a pet, change the last two letters of the te 6/18 latin word before it.
Just monkeyed it myself!
ah, just got it myself!~
i have that one, thanks......i need the te 6/18 in the middle of the te words...
it comes after the "te** me what I want to know or else!".....

He read that poem on police academy trying to recruit women to join the volunteer prorgam :P

His brother (or cousin, but i think brother) was my next door neighbor years ago. also weird guy but very uptight and inhibited. never really spoke with him at all
when he was still stuttering and doing the drooling thing
well.. I'm inhibited too so I understand that
or is that inebriated
