12:22 am

we aim to scare them!

12:25 am

i dont like this grid. period.

12:25 am

Lickety is automated but he is a person and does sometimes chat in the grid, so I say thanks in case he happens to look at the grid because I appreciate the clues.

12:25 am

So hurshy, you mean to tell me that part of the process, when Lickety puts up clues, is for a message to be automatically posted to the chog?

12:25 am

12:25 am

Yes, Jane - it's an automated message

12:26 am

Good thanks. Hubby had 2nd cataract op this morning. Sleeping it off now!

I hope he will recover quickly and see better. Please tell him I said to get well pronto :)

12:39 am

morewords to the rescue! night all

12:39 am

12:39 am

I will and he will. He was amazed but the quick improvement to his sight after the last one.

12:39 am

Congrats and sleep well, hurshy

12:40 am

aw that is good

12:40 am

He said the details were amazing. Hadn't realised what he wasn't seeing.

12:41 am

subdiet - eating even less than your diet orders

12:41 am

Not possible

12:41 am

I remember that from the first time I got glasses. You don't realise because it declines slowly, and then wham, details come back.

12:42 am

ah, you are right, it is a phantom

12:42 am

Exactly. He can't wait to go back and reprocess some of his photos.

12:42 am

No not possible to eat less than a di4 demands!

12:42 am

please tell him he has to revisit the netherlands too now

12:42 am

hehehe okay, true

12:43 am

We will sometime but no idea when.

12:43 am

I used to work for an ophthalmologist, and the reactions of ppl after their cataract surgeries were great.

12:43 am

Funniest was the lady who had bought what she thought was a brown comforter for her bedroom.. turned out it was purple and didn't match anything else in the room. LOL

12:43 am

hiya ladyM. It is almost magical, isn't it

12:44 am

lol!

12:44 am

She'd gone years not knowing

12:44 am

He had his first eye done a month ago - had to wait 2 weeks longer than necessary for the next eye because the surgeon went on holiday. Outrageous!!!

12:44 am

that's too bad :( drags out the drops schedule too

12:45 am

how dare he. Tsk.

12:45 am

:)

12:45 am

is this today's puzzle??? I thought we had 67 yesterday.

12:45 am

hiya sandy, yes, today as well *hug*

12:46 am

I cant remember when we have had so many small puzzles. and Hi everyone, Sprite liz and all

12:46 am

41 down - enough for tonight

12:46 am

night nan

12:46 am

Sprite have you heard from Rose? Is she continuing to have an amazing time?

12:46 am

Sleep well nan

12:47 am

Sprite what is the largest you remember, I remember a 600 puzzle

12:47 am

Hi Sandy

12:47 am

Yes I haven't seen Rose for a while

12:48 am

yes I have, Liz, and the only reason she is not in babble and not sending emails is because she is thoroughly enjoying her journey, getting out early, and once back, dinner and off to bed. She is feeling great and having a brilliant time. And so is Don.

12:48 am

clue for the di6/30 plz

12:48 am

744 was the biggest so far

12:48 am

That's great. Is she managing her pain OK and where is she now?

12:48 am

she is doing great with managing her pain and fm. They are in Scotland now.

12:48 am

Sorry movie man - don't have it.

12:48 am

I would like some larger ones while I watch the Tour

12:49 am

me neither, movieman.

12:49 am

I'd've liked a larger one yesterday so I had something else to do while waiting for my hubby.

12:49 am

I loved Scotland and England. I particularly loved haggis and black pudding as well as their gorgeous smoked salmon

12:49 am

Time zone confusion there - I'd've left the grid until this morning.

12:50 am

it is a shame we cannot do older grids we missed, like with the sudokus

12:50 am

Love smoked salmon. There was a Loch Fyne restaurant near where I lived in London and the fish, especially the smoked salmon, was just amazing. Sent down from Loch Fyne

12:51 am

smoked salmon is food for kings

12:51 am

Good morning, babblibng in bed

12:51 am

Hi Ruby - a good place to babble from :)

12:51 am

good morning Ruby, Sprite, Lize, all

12:52 am

Hi Flosey

12:52 am

*hugs flosey* Good evening to you, I hope your day was nice?

12:52 am

10 left - BBL - enjoy your days or sleep well. Hugs,

12:52 am

It's nice to see everybody -- like a reverse pajama party

I am off for now too, back later today. Y'all have a blessed day and a peaceful night

6:06 am

37 this AM, looking for a few more now

6:07 am

Hi Ruby. Have you been enjoying your biker boys?

6:16 am

r died for a minute. My favorite, Valverde, had a terrible crash the first day and it probably was a career-ender.

6:17 am

Computer*

6:17 am

Now I'm looking for a new hero

6:21 am

hey ruby and molly, I am watching the tour as we speak

6:22 am

Today's étape or yesterday's

6:22 am

except for sipping wine and doing this

6:23 am

I'm afraid to write to you about it, don't want to spoil the pleasure

6:23 am

Im watching live as it happens

6:23 am

Thats why I have to watch at night

6:24 am

they have 172.3 kms to go

6:24 am

OK, on my way upstairs, laptop in hand, so we can watch together

6:24 am

I was thinking of that Ruby , Molly do you watch it?

6:26 am

Do they ever have women racers?

6:26 am

OK, blankets deployed. At least it's not wet today

6:27 am

Separate races, bichon, but it's not very popular with French women

6:27 am

Bichon they don't have women in theTour but there are women cyclists racing in female grand tours I believe - but I don't watch those

6:27 am

Sandy, is the coverage in French or English?

6:28 am

Our coverage is of course in English with our australian commentators that are at the tour

6:28 am

I've never heard about them. Must be like the WNBA. It's there, but without the popularity

6:29 am

It's a very good French lesson for me every year, a 3-week intnsive course

6:29 am

Phil Liggit He's English) Michael Tomalaris

6:29 am

You must think in French by now

6:30 am

168.5 ks to go here

6:31 am

Yes. Right now they're having a protracted (and very stupid),discussion of what to do with the empty water bottles and other trash tossed by the riders.

6:32 am

They had that discussion here yesterday and went into great detail. However if I was watching I would be one of the ones to grab some of their trash LOL

6:33 am

I'm sure that if it wa in the US, there'd be people to pick up the trash

6:33 am

Me too

6:33 am

They are discussing Chris Froome at the moment

6:34 am

Each day, after the race, there is a veitable army ofcleaners!

6:35 am

There is a grand tour in the USA bich and here in Australia and in Italy. But there is no race like the Tour de France

6:35 am

I am surprised Ruby, they said here that anything the riders throw is gathered by souvenir hunters

6:37 am

Ruby I wander if we are seeing the same thing

6:37 am

There are stretches of forest and countryside with few spectators. I think the race is run very resonsibly

6:38 am

I'm sure as the mileaage you mentioned is the same.

6:38 am

Cool, eh?

6:39 am

The countryside is soooo gorgeous

6:39 am

I only know one other woman herr who is interested

6:40 am

LOL I have taught my grandaughter to say "Vive le Tour"

6:41 am

Now we have an advertisement!! too many of those

6:41 am

I will be back in 15

6:41 am

One year when I went to see it in person (Lance and Richard Virenque werr still riding), I was so tongue-tied that I couldn't even say "Allez" when Lance passed in a yellow blue

6:42 am

blue*

6:42 am

blur**

6:47 am

na 8/40 ?

6:49 am

finishes like a copy or imi******

6:50 am

hello Lynxx

6:50 am

Sandy and I have been sharing simultanbous glimpses of the Tour.

6:50 am

hi Ruby! how are you? - and your puppies of course

6:51 am

We're fine, thanks

6:53 am

And you? Are you rooting for Richie Porte?

6:55 am

I probably should be - and I do enjoy watching bike racing but haven't been watching

6:55 am

I think most people fid it very dull

6:57 am

I do prefer the track riding...exciting and so skillful

6:58 am

Chacun a son sport! LOL

7:00 am

I think half the pleasure is seeing the countryside

7:01 am

does it go anywhere near your village?

7:02 am

back for the rest. Hi lyn :) xxx

7:02 am

It has, several times since I've been here, but it's much better on television

7:02 am

Hi Sprite!

7:03 am

nice to see you, it's been a while. How are you and yours?

7:03 am

Today it'smostly Luxembourg and Belgium, not even France

7:03 am

Im back too. Yes the countryside is magnificent and they give a lot of history about various buildings on the way.

7:03 am

wb sandy

7:03 am

All pretty good down here. Hi Sandy

7:04 am

They do something funny: when they pass a fiekd of cows grazing, they insert moos

7:04 am

good to hear, lyn

7:04 am

What a beautiful child Sandy. Your daughters?

7:04 am

Hi lynxx how are you? How is the weather where you are?

7:05 am

Dry and quite cold this year, although they promise some rain over the next week.

7:05 am

LOL lynxx, you are talking about the huge baby. I really want to put up a photo of our new Jack Russell puppy . I am working on it /

7:06 am

I am sure the puppy will be very cute but not as much as that child

7:06 am

It has been really dry here but finally some rain over the last week to put water into our tank. We rely on rain for our water . No scheme water on the farm. Saves on water bills

7:08 am

Of course it is my grandchild. She is called Rosie and is really sweet .

7:08 am

bore water?

7:08 am

best name ever, sandy

7:09 am

We have a bore but the water is fraught with minerals. Not even good enought for stock. We have a dam . We use rain water in the household

7:09 am

Good morning everyone

7:09 am

hiya car.ee :) *hug* How's life?

7:09 am

I didn't even turn my computer on yesterday. I was too busy with my little nephews. We had a fun weekend.

7:13 am

Ruby they are interviewing Chris Froome at the moment

7:14 am

The pics of them in the pool are adorable!

7:14 am

too busy for puters is a good thing, Scrabs

7:14 am

Hello Une

7:14 am

scrabs, loved the pic of the boys zonked after their fun day :-)

7:15 am

Before we got in the car, to go meet their mother, Ryder, age 30 months said, "I'm driving!" He is a brute, physically and otherwise. Fearless.

7:16 am

:D

7:16 am

hee hee

7:16 am

Ryder....driver....fits!

7:16 am

LOL Scrab, we make sure there are no keys in any vehicles with our little 3 year old around

7:17 am

He is a typical bossy toddler.

7:17 am

Smart, sandy.

7:17 am

Soon to be 3

7:17 am

Bonjour une, scrabs, car.. totally French at this moment

7:18 am

7:19 am

Ruby, we do love our guys -- you've been watching the Tour and right now Nadal is about to play his first match at Wimbledon 2017! woohoo!

7:19 am

Eva, I didn't see you, bonjour

7:20 am

Bon jour, Ruby. I don't know which TV channel has the Tour de France.

7:20 am

I love this; it's a grand annual pleasurem

7:20 am

Eva, boys are especially sneaky, fast, clever, and fearless.

7:21 am

hi Scrabs, Eva, ruby

7:21 am

hiya bichon

7:21 am

hey bichon :-)

7:21 am

<Maybe a cable sports channel, scrabs?

7:23 am

Ooh I like Nadal but unfortunately the Tour takes precident

7:23 am

The race used to be on NBCSN but I don't get that channel anymore.

7:23 am

hi Une, sprit

7:23 am

fireflies. Have a lovely day/evening all

7:23 am

on my tv the Tour is right now live on NBCSN

7:23 am

bye sprite!

7:24 am

bye Sprite - have a good day

7:24 am

i subscribe to the sports channel that carries tennis -- i guess that's why I have NBCSN, eh?

7:24 am

google "le tour" ... they have a list of about fifty outlets ... I recall from last night that NBCSN is one of them

7:24 am

There used to be a wonderful "color" commentator, Jean-Paul Olivier, with whom I was smitten, but he's retired now, replaced by a dullard

7:25 am

Our commentators are good but there was one - can't remember his name that I really loved. I think he died

7:25 am

It's on NBCSN so I will have to follow the race on the website.

7:26 am

I Wonder how all the slack-jawed riders keep from swallowing insects

7:26 am

Prhaps it's an added proteint for the Tour di**

7:26 am

LOL I don't know but I bet they all are very smelly at the end of these stages

7:27 am

I think of that when they're all hugging at the end of each day -- yuck!

7:27 am

I always wonder how their rear ends hold up!

7:28 am

Last one - di 6/30 any clues available?

7:28 am

7:53 am

*countries

7:55 am

we used to but not now. any body got a clue for the te5/12 please. I am so stuck on this one

7:57 am

They pretend to recycle here, but unless bottles are sorted by color, it's not real.

7:57 am

no, sorry, don't

7:57 am

'morning folks

7:57 am

hi welki

7:57 am

We have single stream recycling

7:58 am

7:58 am

yay thanks molly

7:58 am

7:59 am

caveat - calgary recycles like crazy

7:59 am

what is that, bichon?

7:59 am

We have everey other week curbside pick up of recycling. Glass, plastic and paper

7:59 am

good morning all -- who though daylight saving as a good idea?

8:00 am

yeah nan, i hear you - 4:30 and feels like it's time to get up

8:02 am

I never understood DST. It's based on an agricultural economy

8:02 am

I hate daylight saving cyber, it is too hot here and the best time of the day is 5pm when it starts to cool. Daylight saving makes our long hot days even hotter. When we had a trial for it here it was too hot to even have a barbie the trial failed

8:03 am

I would like it in the winter when we could do with a bit more daylight

8:04 am

if we had it in the winter here, the kids would be coming home from school in the dark

8:05 am

but 4:30 am birdsong is a little early right now!

8:06 am

I sleep with window fans and ceiling fan and they drown out all noise

8:06 am

the kids here might go to school in the dark in winter but would come home in the light and have some time to do something before it got dark

8:07 am

except that baseball players could not play evening games....not enough time before dark... ;o)....hello all....

8:08 am

di 6/33, pls

8:08 am

there are arguments on both sides....during the energy crisis in the 70s we didn't use daylight savings for some reason...kids did have to go to school in the dark...

8:09 am

People at norther latitudes get used to having their day in mostly darkness

8:09 am

the only reason they want it here in west aus is to fit in better with the eastern states stock market trading times

8:10 am

but that's all they are used to....

8:10 am

in the summer here we have long sunny days. My neice lives in Sweden where she says it almost never gets dark

8:10 am

there is a movement here to change Maine to Atlantic time....that would be weird for us....

8:11 am

I guess that is in their summer

8:12 am

i have been in northwestern Russia in the winter and summer....in summer, it's great.....light till midnight....but in the winter it's terrible....dark at 3 until 10 the next morning...

8:12 am

and it's worse in Dec. and Jan. ... i was there in mid Feb...

8:49 am

nan - that c/30 has to do with the church

8:49 am

di6/30 sounds like a division of the Catholic Church but ends in sometimes vowel, not ese

8:51 am

It actually has nothing to do with the church, it is a Greek word meaning "contains male and female"

11:56 am

11:56 am

12:02 pm

oh well. 22 to go - bbl to find my sad lonesome missing O

12:04 pm

12:04 pm

stats or clue for your missing o, HH?

12:04 pm

Harry, it is OD 4/6.

12:05 pm

hi, ori! Hope your fraud ordeal got sorted out!

12:07 pm

Back to work, lunch is over. I

12:08 pm

I was one of the few who didn't take today off. Not like it's a stressful day, though! Nice and quiet.

12:08 pm

hi all. any clues for any of the 8s or the 7? ty

12:09 pm

harry please clue the an 8 for me. ty.

12:09 pm

Hi JBs. Still working on the fraud, but have taken steps in the right direction.

12:14 pm

is the an 8 two words with first being "against"?

12:19 pm

there's not an an-8

12:24 pm

Good to know. I spent about 10 minutes looking for one :D

12:24 pm

oh i thought someone said they found it. sorry

12:25 pm

an 7

12:25 pm

ok i get it: the person said they found an 8 and i assumed ....silly me. any clues for 8s welcome with stats.

12:25 pm

This is how chat goes awry. Harry posted "found an 8"...meaning he found an 8 letter word. Then someone assumes he means an/8. And off people go on wild goose chases.

12:26 pm

when you assume you make an ass out of u and me.

12:26 pm

i did it. i admit it. i am guilty

12:26 pm

i have the ad 8. opposite of subtraction

12:26 pm

so all clues welcome.

12:26 pm

Sorry, no clues. Stats only: ad8/50, na8/40, su8/50

12:29 pm

Thanks Gwen. That is why it helps to consult the list if you are unsure.

12:34 pm

mkg, the an7/32 is a musical term meaning slowly.

12:34 pm

na 8 - academic word for swimming

12:35 pm

su 8 - medical word for sweating

12:35 pm

(won't make a comment about molly posting about 8")

12:35 pm

ty Knight, I was wondering what it meant.

12:35 pm

Hi Ru

12:35 pm

Ha, I gave up writing fiction. : P

12:37 pm

I'm so behind the times. I thought the medical term for sweating was diaphoresis.

12:38 pm

that's excessive sweating.

12:38 pm

me too, Molly

12:38 pm

(wistfully thinking about excessive sweating)

12:39 pm

:D

12:39 pm

Oh, that explains it. For me, there is only one kind of sweating. Excessive.

12:40 pm

True

12:41 pm

And since my experience is with medical transcription, diaphoresis is the only one I had to commit to memory. Doctors don't usually mention regular old sweating in their notes.

12:41 pm

true again

12:42 pm

I don't easily sweat

12:42 pm

diaphoresis sounds like wet depends to me

12:43 pm

And I doubt anyone will ever read about su8 on her swelling cleavage in a Harlequin romance novel. : D

12:43 pm

Kind of does

12:44 pm

swelling cleavage sounds interesting as a subject

12:44 pm

Whot? Not a soaked nappy? Blimey.

12:44 pm

5:59 pm

(ducks from tomatoes)

5:59 pm

"he knows the faith secretly" is the translation

5:59 pm

cool...

6:00 pm

but it's funny to adolescent boys taking latin because church latin pronounces "sc" as "sh"

6:02 pm

I think i'll have a gin and tonic and contemplate that by the pool in the sun :D

6:04 pm

agrees with Pen.. I think this is the best and most honorable pope in a long, long time

6:07 pm

amen to that...

6:18 pm

At the very least he isn't a ex-nazi like the last one

6:19 pm

Amen to that too

6:20 pm

what are you all talking about? did i miss something????????an ex nazi????????

6:26 pm

The previous pope had a connectio. To the nazi regime and had ties to some terrible things
