30 to go
I didn't realize no4/5 was an acceptable word
yep, it is :)
hahaha
You know Enable, Flosey. All sorts of words are acceptable :)
hee hee
:)
gotta try them anyway
10 to go...but that includes both the 6s and both 7s
pl 6
oh, that's a good'un

Thanks, Lickety
thanks Lickety
5 to go
Weird word
yeah, more a marketing thing than a real word
first run through got me just over half way, but not seeing much else -- and not the be 7 -- too tired I guess
th7
Not a common word
good night everyone
Sleep well nan.
fw and off to bed, good night all
good morning all
{{sprite}} hugs and kisses. i am almost me again.how are you doing honey? i have been so sick that i forgot to ask you. apologies, sincerely meant.
*hugs rose* Honey, don't ever feel sick on my behalf. I love you and you never need to apologise. How wonderful you are feeling so much better :)
did i tell you last flip? the infection was in the kidneys? no wonder i fe4 so off.
I am fine. Had a terrific day yesterday at Noud's. Got beautiful feedback from the other assistants that they felt I was much clearer and stronger than a few months before. Such a good feeling that the hard work with Noud is paying of :D
oh wow!! goosebumps all over me....what wonderful news!!
yeah you told me. Not a good feeling, infected kidneys. Am so glad things are clearing up for you.
*giggle* don is having the most wonderful time, planning bus routes through various cities, reserving seats on trains, buy passes left, right and centre. i do so hope it isn't all a waste of time.
of course not. He is having a truckload of fun already, so it can never be a waste of time. Would be great if most of it worked out, but that is a bonus :)
ruby was lamenting in an email that she hadn't planned anything 'to do' while we are there. i told her i fancied a couple of quiet days AND we have a car which can be used for sightseeing with ruby as a guide.
*giggles* ruby is usually lamenting. Doesn't mean she isn't happy. When I was there, we didn't 'do' anything special. We talked, played scrabble, talked some more, hugged, cuddled the puppies... and had a splendid time. I don't need a lot of sightseeing while there. Just spending time with you all is blessing enough.
i just don't want her fretting on our behalf.it will be nice to take a couple of deep breaths and relax.
absolutely. After our tour of Holland, we can use some time with our fe4 up ;) Although I think we have planned it leisurely here too, with downtime to recharge.
over halfway, one 6, no 7s, and slowing down to a crawl. Nice tight grid!
don likes it tight...*looks innocetly at the ceiling*
rose! LOLOL.
whaaa !!! what did i say ??
we have a dutch rhyme saying something similar. 'Nauw is niet wijd, maar wel lekker op zijn tijd." Which translates as 'Tight is not wide, but pretty pleasant at times'
roflolll
yay, one 7 found
and the other too. There is hope yet for sprite
good heavens!! yay sprite !!
:D In my defence, both were relatively odd words.
how on earh do you find/know such weird words?
i mean the th7, yeah. fairly common babblet. but the be7?
monkeying helps. And for the be, I used a2z, searching for patterns.
ahhhh. i'm the other way around. use lickety for letter combos, and only if i can't find the word, do i go to a2z
yeah, I think that is because you 'learned' to play babble when Lickety was already active. I am from the old days. We didn't have second letter clues unless someone in chat gave some. For me, searching for patterns is part of the fun.
the play before lickety... i remember that...
a2z has this nifty feature that you can search for partials, at begin, end, or middle of words.
hiya ro! A really long time ago, isn't it.
that's one of the reasons i like it too
hey rolin
sprite: do you think you're invisible in the chat? Your words sting. I complain a lot? I think my complaints are quite real!
it certainly is sprite
oh ruby. i'm sure no hurt was intended. here have a HUGE cuddle.
hiya ruby. I don't think I am invisible... why? Yeah, you often 'lament' about things, which you are entitled to, and as rose says, no hurt is intended. What I meant was that even when you complain, you still manage to be happy too.
hey rose...
I'mnot so sure about that
words matter
I still wish sometimes for an option to remove the stats and word total from babble, ro. It is a really different way of playing.
words do matter, ruby. So please read all my words and see how they are meant.
If I lament too much about REAL things, I don't understand you attitude
your*
ruby, I am not gonna fight with you. I don't have any attitude nor any agenda, so I am gonna leave it at this.
I can't intuit your intent.
fireflies. Interesting grid to play. Quite tight.
WTG SPRITE !!!
*hugs* to you all. And give my love to Don too, rose, please. Have a blessed day and a peaceful night, in any order you like :)
lol. {{sprite}} hugs and kisses sweetie. enjoy your day too.
will do. I bought strawberry baby plants yesterday at Noud's, then forgot to take them home. When I texted him to see if I could pick them up today, he called and said, yes PLEASE and can you please walk our dog for us when you do? :D No such thing as coincidence, is there?
Morning all! What a nice short grid today:-)
hmmm very quiet in here , but I hope there are lurkers out there to give me a clue for fi5 please
<delurks> fi 5/18. Really really dirty! Wash your mouth out!
LOL I am soooo dopey thankyou
Change the first letter and you have another word.
is that chook in the photo a sussex?
got that one too thanks
Yes, a light sussex having an explanatory word about laying eggs to my cat Daisy. Daisy sadly is no longer with, but Lulu the Light Sussex is, and still laying.
We have australorps, they were a breed that the early settlers used as they are large birds and good for meat as well as good layers.
They are black. Our cat would love to eat them I'm sure but it makes itself happy catching rabbits
My best layers are Warrens. An egg each every single day without fail.
My cats don't care about the hens. We started off with big ones which totally ignored the cats, and they have all ignored each other ever since.
I haven't heard of them. The best layers here are hylines which are used by the egg farms. I have a few but none of them are laying much at the moment. I guess it is the colder weather starting. Our cat doesn't care about the chooks either . It prefers hunting the mice in chook pen.
Hylines lay for about two years and then are burnt out. Australorps dont lay so prolifically but lay for more years.
The Light Sussex is about 6 years old I think, and still laying every two or three days. I think the Warrens were a cross, bred just for eggs. They are quite a small breed gingery colour. I call them Ginger and Spice (very original).
Hylines are gingers also
as are Isa Browns another similar breed
Just googled Hylines. They look identical to my Warrens.
interesting. Do you live in a rural area?
Yes, in Shropshire. Very agricultural and unspoilt. We love it but it does my son's head in! (He lives in London)
Ah! Smacks head. Just got the wo 4/11 and can't believe I couldn't find it.
lol Where we live is also very unspoilt and a lovely part of the world . Lots of wine down here
ah I see the wo
I am working my way through licketys list . Only up to the hs
No wo 4/11's here:-)
I like playing but im no wizz kid like some in here./
I have 2 left.
27 here
just pottering
Okay, just looked at your profile and you're in Perth. We have had one visit to Australia and loved it. Sydney, then a week on husband's cousin's sheep station the other side of the blue mountains, then a week up in the rain forest.
Im staring blankly at the he4 lol I often get stuck on the 4s
Not really Perth anymore Margaret River is 3 hours away to the south. It is a tourist area with lots of fabulous restaurants and wineries
Fireworks! Any clues needed before I pretend to be doing something useful?
Just remembered where relations were. Sofala. Very small! One shop and a pub I think.
Must be off. Enjoy your day.
Good morning / Happy Saturday everyone
Hi Car. I have been lurking for a while, and was off checking emails.
HOw is Lisa?
How are you holding up?
Lisa is doing well, 8 days after gamma-knife radiation. Tired after everything she has endured, but she will recover.
So glad to hear that
I need a month or two of vacation but will not get that, so I relax when I can, like now when Leslie is here.
And your other sister is visiting this weekend...with an adventure-filled schedule?!?!?
How are you?
Wonderful! You need to be outside where you are happy!
Had a really BAAAAAAD week. Life just got to be too much, but I've made a couple of changes and went to my therapist, so I am feeling more focused now.
((Car)) Sometimes life just gets too overwhelming and real.
((Scrabs)) So glad we have each other
Yes, sister.
so, what is the plan for today. I am home all day continuing to clean and sort and keep tabs on mom
Do something fun and take my spirit with you today
Another day of hiking. Rain expected but we have rain gear and backpack covers, so we can stay dry, sort of. As long as we are in the woods.
You have pluck Scrabs
Rain forecast would keep me in for sure.
It's not suppose to start here until late afternoon.
Good morning, Bichon...tea party today?
I have grit, bichon.
Stats please for the right top O?
phantom: fovea
sorry car, no idea

Now I do.

Oh dear...not it is not.
I checked the definition.
I did too :(
I passed halfway and that is enough. Time to get ready for a day of hiking. Enjoy the day, kids.
OMG...the BE 7...is THAT really a word?!?!?
Fireworks. Off I go to sort recyclables. Have a great day/weekend everyone!
ello. I'm back. That of worrd is ridiculous; wasn't that a perforative for white people back in the 60's?
perjorative*
Anybody here?
nope!
Moi is here

We are killing 5 sheep for the freezer tomorrow
Too cold to put them in the ground, but the deck in sheltered and "plein sud"

Yes, <I couldn't think of the words....marbles are slipping away

we are breeding Australorps (chooks)they are an old breed chook introduced by early settlers because they are big and provide meat as well as lay lots of eggs they are big black chooks
I have the lo4 ...think that you have to *** your mistakes in life and put an l in front of it
I looked them up and they're the national chicken.
And the sheep, "easy of fences" LOL
what , of Australia, I didn't know that!
on*
You are a fountain of knowledge Ruby
The sheep here were mostly white but some had bblack faces or just black ears.
Google is my fountain!
Ours are all white and they are shedding sheep so no shearing or crutching
just eating
I think I was a farmer in a previous life.
How many lbs of meat from one?
Living on a farm in Margaret River is great. Lots of wine lots of great restaurants and for the most part lovely weather
Margaret River sounds like heaven!
Are you still riding much?
A killer on the hoof weighs about 60 kg but I am not sure about how much it weighs dressed btw did you see on facebook about the raffle I won?
No
What did you win?
I am still riding but prefer to work horses on the ground as it is a long way to fall. My sister fell off 3 weeks ago and fractured her coxyx
Ouch!
I won 50 bottles of fine wines. I litre of vodka and i litre of rum. three bottles of liqueur. i carton of beer. one dozen boutique stubbies of beer. a lovely flask. a first aid kit. and it all came in a new red wheel barrow which we needed
It's too bad you don't drink! LOL
LOL
It got me through the weekend
I can understand needing both the wheelbarrow and the first aid kit
Of all the things for me to win! Everyone thought it was hilarious and of course arrived for a drink
It's very funny
I LOVED it. I was sooo excited
My laptop is running out of charge
Funnily enough I had recently won a coffee machine at a quiz night.
You should have that laptop plugged in
Did you take a photo of the delivery?
I plug it in at night. This house has very few outlets
There are photos on facebook but they dont do the amount of alcohol justice
I'll look for them
However I did it justice
Bye everybody

Got the te. Now for the ve 5 and my computer will explode in fireworks.
stid!!! I was just leaving
this one is a stinker too I think but I haven't listed yet
we are off to a friend's garage sale. I don't want one more useless thing but she is a friend so I feel obliged to help sort of like Tupperware
(((hugs bugs))) miss you -- perhaps see you later -- trying to avoid actual teaching stuff today. Have fun!
hello also fit1 :-)
just have a fun day today. the year is almost over
I got it throgh hunt and peck. Now I'm off to read the NY Times. Whew!!!
:-) Yep. about four weeks left. NOT ready!
hi back again
hi everyone
did you still need help on it bugs?
hello ruru
hi stid..
I think bugs is off finding deals at garage sales, ruru -- hope you are well?
i'm ok.. thanks..taking it easy today
I didn't know bugs does garage sales.. that's new to me

te6, please?
*grin* no doubt!
sorry over my head
I am looking Marc, only just started.
she's going be upset if animals start showing up in twos at her house :D
upset perhaps, but not surprised :-)
HI everyone
hello origami!
hello stiddy
(((TO))) Long time no see. Hope all is well on the other coast?
anyone fine the te6, yet?
generally yes. car issues today, not sure whether to channce any trips.
sorry about the car
no marc, still looking! :-D
i have been dragging my feet on a new one. so it did not have to be,
hi ori
tenowl is NOT it no matter how many times I try!
when the van was on its way out, we were able to find a used hybrid (they aren't making hybrid civics anymore, but I would recommend one!) that gave good mileage for my long trips.
I clued it below marc
it started after a while. i moved it outside just in case. it's pouring though.
I see the clue now, at 1:28 *thinking*
cannot decide what to buy.
Hondas and Toyotas are pretty long lasting cars
I like subarus too
not that you asked
though
subaru vs. acura vs volvo
volvo does not want to deal though.
I have several friends who are really happy with their subarus
I love my subaru
not well-off enough to afford those three TO, but subarus have a good reputation. Personally, I think older acuras look awful
yes, i know of on one who is not. they're just so...practical.
i like sporty.
acuras are sporty
I think Volvos aren't as nice as they used to be.
oh yes.
ruru saw your clue. got the first half but can't see the second half. Could you please give another clue for the second half
rhymes with typify
where i go, i don't want anything that might not be there when i return to it. no beamers, no benz
Tom has a used Leaf we just got, and he likes it. Doesn't have enough range for me, though.
thanks ruru and marc, got my first 6!
got it thanks
may be a flat spot on solnoid starter. i so want to go out but if i get stuck it's not like i can hop a bus home.
would only consider a year old used. this car will have to last.
no way to have it checked out, TO?
at this hour on saturday?
this is not a pep boys car. staying home till monday would be better than that.
TO, many times cars that were leased are gone over very carefully by a dealer when they are returned after the year and then sold with the remainder of the original warranty... that is what we got for my civic.
it's only 3:30...
stid, dealers do not service cars here on the weekend.
I guess perhaps west coast just does things differently.
and my mechanic quits at noon
seems so
well, good luck then. :-)
thanks, now notebook is acting up. my electronics hate me today ;(
ah well -- Perhaps telling you a nice cup of tea is in order! Down to 30, taking a break and back later. Nice to see you all! *poof*
Ugh... Took my car in for a scheduled oil & filter change this morning. Thought it woukd be a minor job... Turns out I need a new timing belt and 4 new tyres. What I thought would be a manageable €150/200 has morphed into double, if not triple that. Grrrr
el5/16, please?

thanks
Oh those pesky fish parts : D
Do tyres cost more than tires?
Are cheques worth more than checks?
They probably get cashed easier being fancy and all
Especially if they are coloured.
Yup
Such a beautiful day here today
We had rain early, but then the sun came out and it is gorgeous.
Oh good my friends in ny say it is dreary
They are getting the rain that we are done with.
