Kate
hmmm...
name that prop[er noun?
ooops....
i would be so impressed if name that proper noun was all in the grid
one day it will be hurshy... a thousand monkeys on a thousand typewriters...
must work in the reverse for the grid.
i think it's probably odds in at LEAST the billions tho, probably more
natto is still a word, enable
better odds than the lottery, i'd wager...
it is? what does it mean, jes?
fermented soy bean dish
that does not sound yummy
some people claim it's food...
ugh
tofu-ey I say
i do not like fermented... like... anything. cabbage for instance. blech.
I like fermented wine
i don't like the smell of it... but it's still a word!
yeah i'm a teetotaller, so...
sure, word, word, definitely
name that proper noun! cute lil redheaded child actress who went very very wrong
lynsay lohan
ding ding ding!
al 8
i can't get literal, literate, or literati... and of course nowhere near literature... sigh

which isn't alternate, man, this grid is very almost-y
yeah i got THOSE kat
kate

think sigourney weaver
ok got the 5 and 6 then
and 8
ah; didn't have that al
jackpot!
wtg :)
alworkinggirl
damn it
how can someone be a subaltern if there is no such thing as an altern?

same way you can be overwhelmed but not whelmed, i guess?
ok everyone, say aaah
aaah?
i grabbed mine, hurshy :)
just my little aaah joke
got thaqt al 9! ty :D
or8

person who, jes
ah, thankee, thankee
name that proper noun! before there was nintendo, we had...
atari
ding ding ding!
have an al 5-7-8, but don't see a 5-9-8-6
and teh weaver clue meant nothing to me
not seeing the throat word
spock was half human and half al5
is the root we are getting the 9 from
ty - found all except the 9
not sure which word you're looking for, ruru, but th6 is a word
oooh pb for ruru
sigourny weaver played main character in the movie Al5
al 8 x 2; al 9 x 2
worth it.. didn't see that one
jeepers!
finally...NBT/NBS
wtg diz
NBT NBS
wtg Dee
want to point us to the right root for this other al8 and 9 dee?
ty
giving up on the 9 -- just don't see it
great, thanks volleymom... now i have another 8,9 combo to find, but hey- it's onlt 1:40 AM
my first group has the root of a foreigner in a strange land
oh - there it is!
nbt, nbs and crashing
yes we have that group
the second group's rout is to change or modify something
nan... a pilot could be called an aviator, right?
sleep well, nan
ok i was originally trying to build of that so yay
oops root, not rout :(
ty dee.. that's what i was trying before the movie clue came for the other set...
we knew whatcha meant
so far that is all I have in the al's..
hahaha... of all babblers, i speak typo the best ;)
and it is LATE so
yw, kate
mind you i still can't find the endings
nan must be gone...
*sets up a cot for hurshy in the pb*
but glad to know i had a right instinct
aw, we don't need pb for EASY ones... ;)
root (to modify) + picnic bug (and plural)
could've sworn i tried that! sigh
thanks, volley
yw
st9
if that one A were just an E...
ty, ru
ty dee... like hurshy, could have sworn i tried them... well, got them now, thaks to you!
don't say that hurshy... we'd be looking at 430 word grid if it were...
wtg!! yw.
i want to clue it as "sounds kinda like princess leia's home planet"
oh geeez.. now ruru found another 9....
there's only 4. he'll have to run out of them sooner or la5, right?
stats for bottom row a so I can get nbt before bed?
el9 is the last 9
ty jes, you lighten my weary heart....
an6/18
*bounces* i want el9!!
thanks, hurshy, nbt for me :)
and i also want ze7
just found that one hursh a little bit ago
jes.. bottom t is ts 4
yes it is? a good ts4 it is too... but i already had him :D
fjor sur jes, just got it when is greayed out..
kate, methinks you need to sleep
that bottom n is another story though...must be nal______
there's one bottom n that is pl of indian bread
i've got na5 from that one - yummy yummy na5
or ni4 from the other corner
the indeian breads are form hte n in 4th r
the singular is, but not the plural
plural it, kate :)
oh.. the singular is from the 4th row n... hte plural is from the bottom row n!
i second my own motion that kate needs sleep, lol
my typing is sooooo bad, i should stop - or at least shut up...
i see your motion and raise you a pillow hurshy! methinks you are correct!
lol
hahahha
i don't have anything for the bottom a...
you just have to spin it right, kate.
you type really really well for someone wearing mittens.
lol
fat fingers jes... really :)
(and yes these things did genuinely make me laugh out loud)
missing too many a's and L's
or just too tired, on a laptop on a table too high... and used to much more raised keys... they're all my excuses and i'm sticking to them... but i have been so tired lately - no AC; no sleep
yeah i need... 10 more a's and 7 more l's
no a/c kills me... hate when it goes out
name that proper noun! from LotR: the riders of...
rohan
ding ding ding!
ooh, Satan's here too :D
lucifer?
no literally just satan
yeah, i was not being inventive/cluey... just boring old satan
and santa... both proper nouns and mythological...
but santa is like, any saint really, you need the claus
clauses always help clarify things (grammar joke)
:D
what? grammar jokes at a word game? never!
*giggle*
may i rant before going away?
sure
but you have to go to the pb to do it haha
but don't feel obligated to leave afterwards
of course, you all know i have a bee in my bonnet over the prolific mis/over use of apostrophes... but there is a new peeve sneaking up on me...
oh goody a new peeve!
is it a pet peeve, or a feral one?
< grabs the bull horn, so shouting from the PB will not be necessary >
that was not sarcastic and hahaha jes
it is, ladies and gentlemen, the apparent complete loss of all adverbs........
loss of adverbs??? o no this sounds like something out of phantom tollbooth
at this point it is feral, because it is making me crazy and seems out of control...
*quickly sprinkles adverbs into conversation*
*frantically searches for adverbial phrases*
no one adds an "ly" on the end of the word any more....I'm seeing it in print, on signs, and on tv all the time....
give us an example
ho8!!!!!! lovely word
.... and the WORST (imho), is the following: person #1: Hi, how are you? person #2: I'm GOOD.
But I AM good.. I am not evil.
I am also doing well...
oh no, that's not "they should have used well" that's a new development in language
NO ONE ASKED THEM IF THEY WERE BEHAVING....or how they rate in bed.... the answer is well, poorly, happy... but not good!!!!!!!!!!!
*pushes over second soap box*
it is a similar usage when people say "are we good?" as in, is everything squared away?
yes... though, must admit, that doesn't bother me as much...\
i don't have a peeve about that one, i see it as an interesting new nuance developing in english, a beautiful new evolution of our language
*makes a mental not to start using "goodly" around Kate*
so "i'm good" means, all is right between me and the world
because well-being is composed of so much more than health!
i'm all for innovation and expansion of the language.. we're only #1 in number of words in language.. we don't have enough yet...
Think of it as short for "i'm good with this situation"
stopping with 50 to go.. good night all
niters ruru (think I've chased him off)
now i feel slow... i still have 121 left
i still want an example of the simple dropping of -ly
drive safe
i will start posting them as I see them hurshy, I swear it happens all the time now...hopefully one comes to me soon...
put 'em in yer profile instead of chat so they are easier to find
that one bothers me frequently
okay.. but now I will have to overhaul my profile (which I have been avoiding - big job)
"move quick"
perfect example jes... thought you were zinging my chasing ruru off...
ahhhh
no, people say "drive safe" all the freaking time.
you're not hauling metal boxes around, you should be driving safely
pre-cise-ly!!!!!!!!!!
so it's not so much that people aren't using adverbs as that they are turning adjectives into adverbs because they are in too much of a hurry for one extra syllable
yes, that is it hurshy...laziness and (I think) ignorance. they don't get grammar and spelling like "we" did...
i'm sure i could think of more examples if i weren't falling asleep on my keyboard.
what you mean "we", paleface?
i'm going to go sleep (soundly, i hope), you keep speaking grammatically, lovelies :)
lol.. i mean the old farts that grew up on a totally different school system...
niters jes! sleep well.
i know it just put me in mind of a joke about the lone ranger and tonto encountering a group of other native americans...
i'd be in bed already too, but remains of the day is on...
wilt thou clue the ze7, somebody?
well, it's a z word, with 7 letters...
i never got it... think it was ruru, but no clue followed.
*ducks before hurshy throws something*
maybe dee hot it?
oh ra4, ruru left
did you like how i asked for a clue in such a way as to shore up my old fart credentials?
or have we got mass falling-asleep-at-keyboard now... ?
yes, my good woman! i didst note how thee implored with grace and dignity for the briefest of favours.
:)
my mitty kitty is being such a love tonight
using my arm as a pillow
makes typing tough..
not if you position your laptop juuuuust right
but how do you pet the mitty kitty if you are typing with one hand and its on the other arm?
i don't have to pet her, i just have to enjoy being the pillow
ahhhhh :)
oooh oooh i just remembered the onomatopoeic ra7 is a word!!!!!!
Hi all and thanks, Hurshy for that ra 7. Wouldn't have remembered it without your prompt.
yw liz, if you get the ze7, return the favor with a clue :) :) :)
plural too
No, that's my missing z word.
altho now i have hit 80% i might go soon
Thanks, Jess.
whoops pb for me
yw liz
the ra 7 sounds like........?
the beat of a snare drum
Like banging a drum
- softly
But Hurshy
Hurshy's clue was better
tytyty tytyty tytyty ty ty ty
that was a very bad drum beat.... but still better than Ringo ;)
lol, you miss pete best?
75 left....BBL
yes, he was cuter too ;)
9which apparently was the problem....)
hi diz, bye diz!
my mom said her favorite was george harrison. i forget if she said that was BECAUSE he was the least popular, or if that was just how it was...
well, he was the youngest...but least popular???
yeah like, even now, if you're going to forget a beatle, it would be him
for a sec i thought we had atlatl but it was just an illusion
not me... the only fan page i have is for george... really.
ok, well, you and my mom then
ok, i'm off now with 40 left! ttfn all.
Sleep well, Hurshy. I'll also BBL.
bye liz and hurshy.. i should have been in bed hours ago...
ze 7 - when you are well mannered, using your pleases and thank yous, you are p+++++.
just a quest, when does USA turn their clocks, in regards to daylight saving????
November 1
hey diz :-)
thnx Une.
good morning all
{{hugs}} and good morning dear friend
*hugs rose* Good morning my darling, how are you today?
much the same. slept in again this morning
very good. Is your body settling down again?
a little. and how are you today?
I am ok. Slept ok, now in the process of taking my morning meds (9 pills, lol)
i have been thinking about wednesday, at the funeral. it really highlighted how LITTLE i can do at a stretch. it wasn't even the three hours which they say i can do.
*giggle* poor sprite. shake her and she'll rattle.
*long hug* I know, dear friend. It sucks. And you now have to focus on what you cannot do, which is bound to bring you down. Please keep that in mind, ok? Once the lawsuit and all is over, you can go back to focusing on what you can do, and it will be better.
yeah lol, in the morning it is madness. used to take it all in one swallow. Now, one by one with time in between.
yeah i know. lawyer says it is going to be about 4 months and it will be all over.
ugh. That is a long time to be forced to focus on your disabilities. But you have weathered worse. You will come out a winner.
Hi and hugs friends
*hugs Liz* Hello! How was your day, Liz?
Good thanks. The movie was much better than I thought and the food was lovely.
glad you had a good time! Which movie did you see?
It was a documentary - the Deli Man - about the history of New York Delis. Quite interesting and oh! The food. I miss deli food.
sounds interesting. And yummy, lol. Are there no delis in oz?
Not here.
:(
At least not that sells the sort of stuff I want.
she lives in the wrong State for that. Hello all
hi lyn :) xxx How are you doing?
I guess I'd find food shopping much easier in Melbourne or Sydney and not just deli food!
pretty good...more importantly - how are you?
Hi Lyn
I am fine. Healing up properly and taking it easy while doing so, thanks! Glad to hear you are ok.
you should send Lyn your shopping list... and have it delivered by courier, lol
Lol
most expensive deli ever!
'scuse me - just putting some bread in b4 I start dinner
Cheaper than a shopping flight down there!
you had me looking for a b4 word, lolol
true, that, Liz
And we've talked about that!
sorry. {{hugs}} lizgirl, cooee lyn
Hugs (again) Rose
Liz: http://www.ohdeli.com.sg/
don is playing a series of film clips where people, predominantly young males hurt themselves doing " tricks "
Ill check that when I'm on the computer rather than my iPad.
oh I hate those, rose. I have this family here that laughs their heads off, and I just go "ouch.... omg... that is NOT funny..."
some of them are funny, but most of the time i'm thinking and wondering how many of them ended up in hospital.
Hi Rose
I'm with sprite on that
exactly. Not my kind of thing to watch.
before that he showed me a whole lot of clips of cats and kittens.
better. Much better.
Dogs and puppies better still
animal clips, as long as they do the things they would do naturally, are always good.
Not really my thing either. I'd rather have them in real life.
omg, now he's showing a clip of a four-wheel drive on a mountain track. it's only as wide as the car and with a sheer drop off to the left.
amen to that
Gulp!
ugh
Just thought I'd say I don't like this grid. I did like yesterday's though!
it is not very friendly, no
name that proper noun: big american city
Almost atlanta
lo
ohhh it is a phantom ntpn! Dingdingding, Liz!
hi PMS
hi Sprite
Hi pms
that stone ending gets a better workout than I thought
ok, time for me to lie down for a bit. *hugs* to you all. Sleep well!
Rest well. Hugs and have a good day.
rest well my dear. catch you tomorrow. xoxox
Morning all.
Good morning /day / evening friends!
Hello and good morning
Hi!
Oh boy...finding more words that are not included than ones that are :(
New game, Non-Word Babble
I'm in
Molly, I can't look at profiles this morning...who is that?
And what do you see for mine?
grayish image but Patriot when I click on it
ah, rebooted and now it's just the patriot :-)
My profile is a moon. It was Harvey Fierstein before that.
Ok. I changed it to the Patriot over three days ago, but I still see the puppy foot print in the sand.
moon shows up after rebooting :-)
Molly, it is still Harvey to me.
Une, didn't you hear? They changed the team name. They are now The Inflatriots.
did you reboot, car?
hee hee :-)
Just refreshed and all is well. I see what I should.
I had done it already a few times.
Stop it.....
yay for car!
My 'puter is just old and takes more time I guess
It's so strange how refreshing doesn't work for some people. It works for me every time. I wonder if it depends on what browser you use.
i was wondering the same thing, molly
Oh boy, killed the joke. The Deflatriots.
Stop....
Its time for that whole thing to go away
That's not going to happen anytime soon, Car. But I won't bring it up again here, if it bothers you.
Is the bottom A in the fourth column that AN babblet?
NM...it was! Got it
110 to go -- off to feed pups and grab a coffee :-)

Hi Ruby
yw bichon and luv
we have a lovely reprieve from cold weather and the studio door is open
yay
and there are still 5 kinds of roses
Ah, fresh air is good for you.
Ooo, five kinds of roses. Your garden must be beautiful.
It's neglected this year, but still very pretty if you can overlook the dead grass
ruby any fire and ice roses?
and there are geraniums, buddleia, loosestrife, sprea and (almost) sedum
No, I don't think so. They are all single color, but in May and June there are 9 different ones
burgundy and yellow or gold in color
your garden sounds so lovely, ruby :-)
sounds beautiful, MLF
It is a very nice garden and the limited color scheme makes it really special. Looks like an English garden via Martha Stewart
how are you doing ruby? My thoughts are always with you
al 5/10, first one pls
I'm feeling OK, much better than in the winter, painwise, but Burt is getting totally out of control. His doctor is coming this week to help me make "arrangements"
good to hear that. My Mom was in assisted living and she did well there
I don't think they have that here and he is too far gone and not able to communicate adequately for that
put him to sleep?
hahah
She was in her own apartment. but later went to the Memory Unit. It's locked. She had her own room and hospice care
I give him Xanax in the evening to calm him down.
bich, 1st al 5 = ET
memory unit?
ty Luv
and a 9 builds off of that
bichon and plural
A locked unit so they cannot roam and aides and nurses to care for them
Weekends are the hardest as I don't have any help and he follows me around like a (non chow) dog
ty luv
bichon ah of course
I will look for something like that, but no matter what, it will be terrible for him
ruby what is he doing now?
I was very lucky. Because of the hospice, paid for by Medicare, it cost very little
My mother loved the place, except for the food
Ruby, it might be better for him than you think. Not being in a home that he can't remember properly is probably very frustrating for him. That is why you are his focus.
that is awesome bichon
He goes up and down the stairs, mills around, buckles and unbuckles his pants, calls me on the telephone, generally drives me crazy.
ruby uggh
He's only become aggressive a couple of times, but now that I'm prepared (and the police know), HE HAS BEEN BETTER
ruby is he aware of what he is doing?
It is very sad but also makes me angry, which can't be good for my cancer
It will be better after he is a nursing home
I can't really tell as he seems much better when his Burt sitter or the housekeeper is around
I try to cajole him when he starts acting crazy, but it doesn't work
better for me, but I think he'll die faster
Ruby try to remember that you are doing what is best for him, and for you. Leave the guilt out of it. That will not be good for you.
It's always like that ruby
just let him follow you around just don't get stuck somewhere
my mother used to get out of bed at night. One time she broke her arm.
I'm too much of a New Yorker; I CAN'T BEAR IT WHEN HE COMES TOO CLOSE, NEED MY "PERSONAL SPACE"
Alzheimer's is a progressive disease, whether he is at home or in assisted care.
Sorry about caps but my crooked pinkie is naughty
Gotcha ruby
al 5/10, second one pls
true, of course, Molly, and he seems to be forgetting basic things like table manners and worse
bichon my grandmother lived with us for a bit and she woke up one night thought she heard me talking or like something was wrong. she was on Prozac at the time
i had just fallen asleep too
Deterioration of the memory process is an awful thing to watch in a loved one. I'm sorry you're going through this Ruby.
Like here mother before her, she lived a long time and spent the rest of her days in care
It's ironic as he was the smartest man I'd ever known (and I knew some pretty smart ones!)
which la is it for the 7s or is it both?
My father was smart and very well balanced. He ended up taking oxycontin
al 5/10, second one pls
i had a smart dad and a smart grandmother(his mother)
bichon to make change?
no that's the one before it fan
I mean after it
I understand Ruby. My Dad was very smart too. I guess that makes it harder to watch.
bichon....hello from hawaii....
the one i have after it is ao5?
sorry, that's 5/12...
no it's the 5/10 after it
a church has one...
<---Dense. Was trying to figure out when Pen went to Hawaii

Hello from Hawaii made me think you had sneaked in an overnight trip
duh, me, too
i wish!
gee we are also bright today lol
i went to Hawaii twice
I was talking to someone about Hawaii earlier this week. It looks so beautiful. I don't know how people ever leave once they get there.
its expensive molly
i spent 12 days there on my way back from China.....i had three cousins living there.....(lots of cousins)....
Oh, expensive is not a problem for the person I was talking to. He owns land in Hawaii.
pen i got "leid" twice:)
it's a joke with my friends...when i talk about travel to a place, they ask me if i have cousins there.....
molly do they ask you to come visit?
clue for al7/32 pls?
No, no...this is someone I work with, not a friend.
oh bummer
phae not finding it either
I'm also not a plane person, so the idea of spending that much time flying to get there doesn't appeal to me.
molly tiring trip we went to bed the first night there at 10pm didn't get up until noon the next day
i was on the road 24 hours when i went to Russia...
Last four - al 6/21; in 7/28; la 5/10 and to 7;/28 any clues please
al7.32 al and what pricks you on a rose
it + vowel + **** and rave...
al6/21 is the plural of Hawaiian hello
ty lynn
sorry...misread your request...
to7/28 ends in the ceramic bits used to cover bathroom walls and floor
ty lynxx
hello lynx and ty
I spoke too soon; he's put on his crazy hat already

Molly, I drink cranberry juice all the time. It's a plaque.
Did I spell plaque correctly? Is it plague? *sigh* Now I cant spell
plaque is on your teeth... ;o)
LOL, I thought so.
I heard on the news there has been a few cases of Black Plague in California recently so.....
anyway must get to my bed - Night all
sweet dreams, lynxxxxie
bye...
I was wondering how Annie got plaque in her urinary tract. : D
lol...
me too, but that's another story
Plague is a good word to describe recurring urinary tract infections. I've heard they are very painful.
Quite painful. Of course, this happened on a holiday weekend. I will call the doctor later.
No urgent care places near you that are open on weekends?
I already have an antibiotic and went to the lab.
Ah good, at least you have some help until you can see your doctor.
Still not getting that la 5/10 any further clues please
Yes. I will leave a message. Usually someone calls back from NYU hospital.
i only have two and those were clued...
l + double vowel + 2/3 of Mr. Onassis' name. Last 2/3
ty annie...
yw
gotta go....bbl to finish....bye!
annie, the piils they once prescribed to lessen the pain are now available OTC. I think they are made by AZO.
THANKS, Owl. I have them. I also have Pyridum
which is stronger and makes me woozy
hello again
the second ha 5 plz
Hawaiian word for white person
ha + Spanish cheer
good morning babble people
morning, ruru
gosh.. I thought I was alone and I brought muffins and coffee for everyone
*takes a muffin and cup of coffee*
cinnamon apple or cranberry orange are the choices
ty molly
forgot my manners, thank you. I took a cranberry orange.
those are my fave too
need to take a break...be back soon
Morning Glory and cranberry/orange are my two favorite muffins. I like blueberry too. All have to be homemade.
I make them.. but instead bought them at a bakery yesterday being lazy
Lazy is okay, as long as it's a good bakery. And considering your fine taste in food, I imagine you go to a good bakery.
they're a B+..
there are a few A's in SF
A good bakery nearby is a great thing to have.
any clue for the ha5/12 just before the rabbit
ha + Spanish cheer
thank Molly...got it...do you need a clue?
Oh no, I've been clueless for years.
me too
Haven't had a clue since my twenties, I think.
<<not even sure I ever was in my 20's
It's a blurry decade for some people : D
I skipped them
My only desire in my 20's was trying to keep up with Wilt Chamberlain
wow.
even Madonna couldn't keep up with him and she's been in the game longer
And Madonna has a lot of miles on her, so for her to not be able to keep up, says something
she totally creeps me out
and that's really saying something
good morning, everyone
hiya nan
I haven't made that much progress since you were last here :D
anyone have the first ar 6/21 please
ar + things you wear on your head
oh.. missed the plural
thanks
*Wonders if people will start looking for other ar 6/21 words
little s was hiding down on the bottom
I gave up and listed finally.. too frustrating this one
It's easy to miss a plural when it doesn't go the same way the singular does
sometimes when we get that ar 5 it doesn't plural so could have been easy to miss
missed the Hawaiian greeting too
People are missing the plural of the indian bread for the same reason
we have a bakery here when we first tried it we didn't like it. its changed hands since but we have yet to go try it again
o&h Danish bakery has wonderful kringles:)
I like indian bread..but I'm off bread now
ruru did you stop eating other starches as well?
*Passes Ru the celery sticks and water
yes
no starches.. except a muffin in the morning.. nothing after that
ruru gradually I hope? I knew someone that did that and they felt sluggish
asparagus water molly please
gradually for sure.
and no sugar either other than the muffin in the morning too
did you know your body can be lacking in both sugars and salts?
Atkins Ru
well.. salt intake is moderate.. and I'm sweet enough already to not have to deal with sugar
anything green that grows above ground is legal!
lol ohh
Weed is legal now Ru, go for it
yesterday my husband and I were looking at some veggie plants outside the grocery store they had broccoli and califlaur sp on that. but no brocifluor
You have to drink a lot of water on a low carbohydrate diet to keep your ketones in check
broccoflower
true molly
It's a great way to lose weight, but very few people can stick to it for life. Most people who do the low carbohydrate thing lose a lot of weight and then gain it all back.
clue for the el 8-9 please?
e + not early + not out

thanks molly
hi nan, Molly, fan
Oh crap, not earlier

bichon I haven't found it either

a + what you hit the ball over in tennis + first part of what you dig in the ground to plant something. Then add the last vowel of that thing in the ground for the 8
And yes, I used a grid word in that clue, so I will go tend bar in the PB
looking for something to dig in the ground or dig with?
If you want to plant a tree, you have to dig a ____ first
what you dig to be able to plant something
ty Molly
ty molly
If you have a ____ in your sock, you darn it
time to leave for our golf game -- bbl
not on your life would I pick up a darning needle --- my time is worth more than that!
When we were first married, my husband handed me a pair of socks to darn. I threw them in the garbage and gave him $2.00 to go and buy a new pair and that was the end of that!
yay nan

st9 starts with a medical word that means RIGHT NOW then add a vowel then end it with Li*** Fair, musical group
The suffix at the end means rock or stone

There was a much talked about thing in the movie 2001 A Space Odyssey that starts with mono and ends with that suffix
I wonder if Harmonyville is anywhere near Pleasantville. It sounds like great place to live in, MollyL.
What can I say Min? I'd like to buy the world a Coke
thanks for st9
Just so long as it is not Diet Coke. Th4/5 stuff is not good!
Actually, Coke is not much better. People use Coke syrup to clean corroded batteries

Hello suefrad625! How are U doing today?Welcome to grid
Hello Minveryork
Hello Jackanory!How are U doing today? Welcome to grid.
Hi to you too. I'm fine, nice to be back
The an 7/32 is an plus ** phone home plus how **d are you
It is nice for me to be back too. I went several weeks with no babbling (NOT BY CHOICE). I always miss it when I can't babble. How long a break did you take from here Jack?
I got hooked when I started last year and then life got in the way and I pop in and out when I can. Been back for a few days now. Good to see the familiar names still around.
Min, what happened? Computer problems?
I HATE it when life gets in the way. Happens to me all the time,unfortunately. Now I am back at work so life will get in the way again. I have a long weekend so I have time.
What work do you do Minver?
I was teaching summer school for the month of July. Went away for a week and a half in Aug and the rest of August I was busy with one thing or another. Not sure what though
I'm a teacher Jackanory. I went back to work September 1
we had the flag in the PB at half mast Minver while you were gone :D
Summer flew. Next thing ya know it's already September.
Hello rururocks!How are you doing today? Welcome to grid

Thank you rururocks.You can raise it back to the top again
we're going to blink and we'll be hearing jingle bells
hello jack.. welcome back too
Ty ruru
Oh heaven NOOOOOO rururocks!
Hello again
hi car...
feeling feisty now that Roger G got slammed by the judge?
I just want the whole thing to go away. So stoopid on so many levels.
it really is.. especially considering what a tremendous coach Bellichek is and how great a player Brady is.. it's kind of pointless. But they did get caught more than once red-handed
It was blown so out of proportion...and Goodell has a God complex
But I am just so tired of "deflate gate". What a stupid ass name.
I am really a LOT more concerned about random shootings and ISIS than the pressure of footballs.
I guess.. but the news people have to beat it until it is dead and unrecognizable
It has been punishing.
I love football just as much as the next girl, but seriously? "Free Tom Brady"?!?!? Puhleez
this whole thing has been handled poorly by the league
Agreed
hi all. any clues for the 9s?

thanks for in7
we don't go to many movies -- I think the last one was the first Marigold Hotel one
these were from the 80's nan... quite good movies... lots of wry humour in midst of cop/bad guy drama... worth the price of thev popcorn :)
The last movie I saw in a theater was in 2006 "The Pursuit of Happiness". Talk about not going to theatres anymore.
was too busy riding herd on 3 teenagers in the 80's!
think mine was the king's speech.. and before that.. the queen...
guess i'm a royalist at heart...
I just took my kids to a drive in! We saw the new mission impossible. There were many many mosquitos
at6 and 7?
aah halfway!
not much of a recommendation, harry - lol
it was actually a good movie - lots of good chases. But too many mosquitos
at 6/18 at + to 4/4 - ripped
at 7/28 pl of the previous word clued
thanks, kate :)
:)
126 to go.. staring at this grid is doing nothing for me
take a break harry.. i know what you mean.. getting no where fast on fresh -ish eyes...
perhaps - bbl.
well. perhaps i won't finish this... off to work i go.
bye harry and jes
hello dear friends, and happy labor day to those who celebrate same!
hi trif.. same to you.. hope you're having a nice weekend
spent a ridiculous amount of time in the surf and sun today - pretty sure I was in there so long I shrank! not sure I will have another opportunity this year, so thought I had better make the most of it.
I haven't been out to the ocean this year so far
how far is it from you?
about an hour and a half
more with weekend traffic
oof. that is far. We have so many around here! it's really great
the 5,000 inches of snow in the winter is hard to deal with though
honestly. I don't know how you guys put up with all that snow.. like last year
meh. we do.
to be honest, new Englanders dont' know what to do with themselves if we DONT have a completely mental winter.
enjoy your weekend.. I'm off to have a glass of bubbly outside
take care!
bye ruru, have one for me :)
hi trader kate!
do you have the count for the lone a in the bottom row, please?
hi trif

Hello Book Doctor Gwen! How are you? Welcome to chog.
the last la7?
doin' okay today. how's you?
toilet on M*A*S*H...
hi gwen :)
thanks
yw
my phantom: instant
hiya trader kate
lots of phantoms today gwen.. a very nasty grid by most accounts.
so, i'm out garage saling. only find one sale. the guy has three cartons full of old automotive dealership promotional booklets. they are in bad shap, and smell (the smell I can fix). I pick out several. he goes through threm three times, then says he's givingme a deal and only want $100
um, yeah, right
Wow! What a deal! How generous ..
I am doing well Book Doctor Gwen, despite being back at work now. I am enjoying the long Labor Weekend though.
good to hear, min!
Hi Everyone. So Gwen, is that a good deal (doesn't sound like a great deal to me!
no! i maybe would have paid $20
how old were they?
from the 1950s-1970s
can't see a big market for that kind of thing...
nope, there is a market, but not that big
were any deloreans?
anyway, i bought two cartons of smelly books last week so my deodorizer box will be busy
no unusual cars. mostly plymouth, buick, etc. not even any sports cars or muscle cars
Hello NEf
Hello Nef! How are you doing today? Welcome to the chog
Some guy wanting to retire on his reluctance to throw things away ..
Hi Min! I'm being grumpy, so was slowly doing the grid & not chatting today (until now)
funny thing is, he had prices in his head for each item, then put the numbers in a calculator, and never told me the number he got on the calculator. I mean, was $100 a "good deal" or did they add up to $105 or something?
dang; that's not how we garage sale here. The price should be on the item.
it's a free for all out there. not everyone prices everything. in fact, some people leave their signs up all night. ARGH
His prices are hope-based and not reality-based ..
Think this grid made a lot of people grumpy today.Sorry to hear you are grumpy, but glad to see you made into chog.
well, i often meet people who think they have prizes when they really have duds.
I hate when people don't remove their signs after the sale is over.
then there are the nitwits who put their sign parallel. i don't even bother to go to those sales; usually there aren't any books anyway
I'm just naturally grumpy, not grid-based grumpy ...
LOL! If they don't know how to put out their signs, they probably aren't readers, huh?
exactly. when there are 50 sales in the area, one has to be choosy
Saying goodbye to all the grumpy & non-grumpy babblers!
Well, my grumpiness is related to a sore knee. I had an injection in it the other day; I'm trying to put off having a knee replacement if I can (& it still hurts so I think I'm not going to win this battle)
hello and goodbye minver!
bye min, ty for all your help with the clues :)
Niters, Min. Take care of yourself!
does anyone out there need some very poor, typo-ridden clues?
maybe, but not yet 8 - )
I'll be happy if someone would clue that bottom row A please.
that's the one i'm working on,too

Oh, you can work in another 40 minutes Jacka
ah... a little diversion from work keeps the brain sharp! saw you earlier too...but you were gone before i had a chance to say hi

That's ok i Don't generally say much or add anything erudite to the conversation. How are you doing? Hard grid ...
