FIREWORKS! *~*~*~*~*
you zoomed past me there jac
yay, Jac!
I have 43 left. Probably because I'm thinking of poetry instead of Babbling.
It's late, I have to be up early, I've satisfied my minimal requirements of NBS, NBT, and at least halfway on every tile and stat. So I'll be back to finish this later. Or I won't. Either way, I'll see y'all later. *poof*
I was thinking Peter Frampton - Do You Feel Like I Do
CONGRATULATIONS JACULA!
"there once was a fellow from Kent..." - th4 kind of poetry?
oh, fine, a clean one, then? ;) "While browsing museums in France, "I gave their exhibits a glance. "My kindly advice "Is those paintings are nice, "But the statues are needing some pants."
well, then, having apparently cleared the room, and having reached a nice level of 120, I'll be off till tomorrow.
good morning all
fireflies. Bye all, have a blessed day and a peaceful night. *leaves hug in chog for rose to find*
Evening all :)
Hello, Mrp. How are you keeping? Any sgns of Spring arriving yet?
Signs*
Hello zoom! Winter is on us!
I’m well thank you! How are you?
All fine here thanks! We have been getting some of your Summer weather here with temps around 30c loving it!
Ooh, that is nice! Hot summer nites?
Not too bad..around 17-19c I am right next to the sea so mostly get a sea breeze as you know that knocks the temperature down a bit more. So it is nice!
Perfect! We have terrible hot nights in January and February...up around 32 with 95% humidity. Glad you have nicer weather
Surprisingly here there has been non Precipitation here for just over a month now. Have used most of the water from the three water containers I have.
Oh yuck high humidity with big temperatures is an energy zapper that is for sure. Hope you good A/C or lots of fans.
We are ac friendly for sure! Very expensive though.
No rain? That is unreal!
Yes I can imagine it is. A case of sweat and melt or spend money and try and keep cool.
I know..the grass here everywhere looks like hay. there are pockets of rain in the UK but just has not got to this part yet.
We are very dry! No green at all.
Bbs zoom! Happy babbling
Very nice to see you, Mrp. Hope yo have a great evening!
You too zoom m)
Hi there. We finally had rain last night. I'm hoping we get a little more over the next few days. I didn't manage to mow the lawn at the right time (and it's more weeds than grass, so some things shoot up really fast). Most of the lawn is too dry to mow, it would just rip it all out
Hi, Buggie :-) Weeds are a bane that is for sure. I should thinkyour grass will soon be lush and green again in no time!
They say there is some rain for this area tonight but it is very localised and could miss us completely. After that there is no more forecast for a while. Not to have rain often is not the norm here. It normally rains here every other day lol
Oh I discovered that my lawn used to be the veg patch, which is why the grass is so patchy. I haven't been able to do anything about it yet (so much to do on the house and in the garden). But over here it's quite common for the lawn to be brown in august. It seems to take good instincts (and well timed free time) to get it mowed just before it completely dries out
Down to 38 words. Have one of the sevens. But I need the E on the right hand side. May I have the stat for it please?
(the Google Earth software is great as you can go back in time on the satellite images)
Yeah I heard that some vegetables can stunt the growth of other plants so i suppose it is the same for grass. Maybe the thing to do is dig down a feet or so and remove that dirt and replace it. That way the grass should be able to grow fine. But a big job depending on how big the patch of land is.
Google street is good too I often go to my parents home and we google street where we used to live and go up and down the road LOL
I'd estimate that part of the garden is around 500m². I need to start sowing grass seeds in the wetter seasons. In some places it's all moss on the ground
but I don't mind it too much. I had lots of wild orchids and poppies this year that I mowed around
And it's really beautiful when it turns into a sea of violets or daisies
Oh wow that sounds really nice, Buggie. I love the look of a natural looking garden/field flowers
I heard the best time to sow grass seed is in the autumn as there is less chance of the bigger weeds growing then.
I have fond memories of "bluebell woods" where I originally come from in England. So the violets this year were such a lovely surprise. It was a very wet spring so some things grew amazingly well
noted zooz, thanks
I get moss on the lawn where I have trees as it tends to stay darker and damp.
I have a forest near by, Buggie that has a natural bluebell groth in it. It is a site to behold when they are all out! A carpet of blue with all the trees.
Well when I say I have I don't mean it is mine LOL just near by.
Yes, I love bluebells. They don't grow so well here
right, off to get my shower before the delivery man gets here
Hope you have a great day, Buggie. And thanks for the chat. Good to see you :-)
Ha! And I found that lone E YaY me!
Right my time is up for now. exactly 35 words left and only one seven left to find.
Will come back later to see if I can find any more words.Happy babbling everyone!
have a good day zoozzoom
Can I have a clue for the lone E in the last column, please?
et6/18 - wrap up some hard labour in vowels.
Or simply a French star.
Thank you!
You're welcome.

morning
hi Trif
hello
ok....slight rant. WHY can't people just let things be simple? We were invited to join friends for a sport event this weekend. Of course one of the group had to get all "let's over kill this" and created a frigging online sign up thing for people to say what they would bring. and now she is hammering those who haven't signed up yet. Because god FORBID someone not just, I don't know, show up and have fun? okay, rant over.
LOLOLOL! I say stay home and help me move instead :)
you know EXACTLY who it is too.....think Patsy from Ab Fab
I already guessed
tee hee...poot...tee hee
hahahahaha
Tell her you will bring a chair to sit in and a bottle of wine
No...better yet, a BOX of wine
hahha. not an option. resistance is futile
I signed up for turkey sandwiches, waters, and ladderball. because I am MAD white
OMG> waaaaaaay too much work
and what day is this happening? Pouring rain Sunday or tropical steamy wet Monday?
she signed up for "homemade potato salad" - AS IF. it was made in someone's home, but sure as sh*t not hers!
tomorrow
Well that's good. Try to let this petty shit go and just enjoy the day wtih friends.
She thinks she is helping and organizing and that is just her way
did you just call me petty? lol
No...her
It seems petty to us but to her it is important for a successful function

quiet in here this morning
want me to make some noise???
lol
This is the first morning in a while that I just can't even pick up the newspaper or watch the morning news.
oh crap i don't even want to know why
I get that, dorens... it is just so exhausting
morning kje
hi kj. no special reason feather, I just can't handle it anymore. Need a break
how about this to cheer you up: https://bit.ly/2uMSeio
colbert's take on the double negative
ahhh, ok, yeah i totally get that. i've not really been on FB as much this past week, and i think that's a good thing. i'll go in to catch up, but i'm not being sucked in for ages.
i'm finding i like being here instead.
he is inviting putin to another mtg here in the states for the fall
oh goodie
that'll be fun. *snark*
and I can't even laugh with the late niters anymore, bc it just isn't funny
yes kj, I heard that last night and I think that might have been the last straw for me. The insanity of it, while we're all still trying to figure out what deal he made behind closed doors. Just purely incredible
Maybe he will let him light the Christmas tree on the White House lawn....
yes, shirl. I record Colbert every night, love his monologues, nut right now i'm finding it hard to laugh at it.
*snort* dianne!
and congress has completely abdicated their role in governing. it is amazing
Where are the intelligent moderate Republicans? They actually refused to pass a bill yesterday to fund election monitoring? Seriously????
watching them twist into pretzels to try and justify this s*** is amazing
I am becoming terrified. No checks and balances anymore. The future looks pretty grim. Mueller may be the only hope
dorens, he's already sowed so many "it's lies" seeds that mueller would only be more partisan
it's sad how scared i've gotten to talk about it. i'm so used to monitoring what i say on FB because i have family that like him, so to be able to talk here is interesting.
All right, before we get chastised for daring to talk politics in chog, maybe we should leave it here. I just assume that people with brains (and that includes most babblers) are of like mind.
it's going to get worse before it gets better
Ah, I wrote that before I read feather. Go ahead and vent, why not?
lol, no, it's fine! just to know that i can *snort* here and if anyone has a problem with it, i don't really care because i'm not related to them!
hahaha
how democracies die, dorens? very well documented historical look at democracies around the world by some historians... I wish we could count on mueller or the supreme court, or congress... but when they start to align like they are now, there is no one of them that can stand up and save it - it takes a unified force to call out someone with despotic tendencies, and that isn't happenening. The conquor and divide tactic is definitely winning
yeah, i'm curious, feather, how do your peeps justify? is it just FOX gospel?
that should have started - have you read
they don't challenge or question anything. they believe the craziest crap, and everything is twisted.
I'm easing off facebook for a different reason. I've been so involved with Indivisible groups and we all keep posting the same stuff and it's beginning to weigh too heavily and I need a break from it.
one of my friends keeps saying you have to let them talk as they're entitled to their opinions, i say, they're entitled to their INFORMED opinions, otherwise, it's garbage
ok KJ, IF everyone who feels this way got involved with Indivisble groups and worked on getting out the vote and educating the majority who pay no attention, that might help
what's indivisible? i've not heard of it
the november vote is critical
i just hope people aren't apathetic in november
in my congressional district only 37% of registered voters voted in the last midterm election. I'm involved in door to door canvassing of all registered democrats or independents,
Good morning
hi ori
and postcard writing, and sending Vote By Mail applications to all 18 - 22 year olds who aren't registered republicans with notes exhorting them to vote
Indivisible groups began all over the country after the 2016 election. Trying to create a movement much as the Tea Party did in response to Obama
ahhh, ok
Folks who have good representatives can sign on to write postcards to targeted districts that can (and MUST) be flipped in November
don't forget the gerrymandering problem -- it's hard to flip when the districts are so carved out
IF interested, check out NJ11th For Change on facebook. Or nj11thforchange.com Rachel Maddow, Newsweek, BBC news, the New York Times have all featured us. We actually succeeded in getting our Representative (Rodney Frelinghuysen, chair of appropriations committee) to not run for reelection.
really? wow!
Eric Holder is working on a committee to deal with that, Shirl
And we have a Female Navy Helicopter Pilot and former US attorney running for the seat. We're working our butts off to get her elected. And there are women all over the country who are doing the same.
you have another babbler in NJ who has also been super involved. (asgreen) It is somewhat different here because I am in a densely blue area with the highest consistent voter turnout in the state of CA
feather I haven't been on fb in a few years don't even know if I still have a page there or not
i feel my area is a mixed bag
first column a?
I know amanda - She grew up in my town
wow mlf!
yes, that area should be
not my choice feather
I am rooting for Beto in my old stomping grounds... he has outraised cruz but it will be a very hard win
ohhh mlf
And ye, KJ that is why folks from your district (all my kids are in Brooklyn, Cali, Maryland with terrific representatives) are signing up for postcard writing.
KJ you can find ou which indivisible organization is active in Texas and help them out, even tho from afar. Beto does need help
<---does not like this grid
Shirl, here's the link to Eric Holder's work on gerrymandering https://democraticredistricting.com/
TX actually has numerous large blue areas (as far as numbers of people)... they can switch this if they activate well
ok, down to 19, have to bbl

Are you finished mag?
halfway
I'll stay for a bit then... was having connection issues, but they seem to have resolved themselves.
I should be studying for finals, but needed a break
I can't believe doula isn't accepted!
Is your paper finished? Yes, definitely a brain break - switching gears is good.
Maybe it's still considered a foreign word?
Papers done!
WOOOT! One more thing off your mind :D
Yep. Have finals Monday and Tuesday and then a 3 week break before fall semester starts
That should be enough to give you a break and get the rest of your life caught up a bit ;)
That's an early start for the semester...?
I hope so!
Between mom breaking her hip and then her wrist, and everything else. I told her she was going to have to remain upright. LOL
Most schools in this part of the country start 2nd or 3rd week of August.
I didn't know about that mag... oh geez! Are you close enough that you are charged with care and recovery?
Yep. Only child. We moved her into assisted living in Feb. About 3 miles from house. She loves it there.
Ah.. well that works well then. You aren't the olny one to help her... so glad she loves it there.. making lots of new friends?
She has a new bestie. (which is good since the other one passed) They have lots of activities and take journeys out and about to lunch and shop
Sounds fantastic... I thnk the worst can be lonliness as we age.
We lived with her for two years, but she has some dementia (not terrible) and we worried about her when we couldn't be home with her.
That sounds more familiar... so glad everything is turning out so well.
Okay, I'm going back to studying. I'll pop back in later. Enjoyed chatting!
Bye mag!

Hello Babblers, I have both sad & wonderful news to report today. A dear friend of mine has died. I am in shock. My best friend for close to 40 years has dealt me another shock, although this one is incredibly the best thing that could happen right now.
Helen, I'm sorry for the loss of your friend.
Hello Helen. So sorry to hear.
What is the good news?
Sorry about your friend Helen
Hi Ori!
Get e-mail from BFF, he has been staunch Republican all his life, have long since given up arguing, let him have his rants. His brief note began with the words "OK, your team has won." Along with a link. I am very aware this is a taboo subject on Babble, but this is of such extreme significance that it cannot be ignored. My friend is genius level, except for the politics thing, but this goes so far beyond. I encourage everyone to read this link, listen to the entire video because here is THE PROOF. Your choice, of course, whether or not to listen, I strongly suggest you all do & then disseminate, disseminate, disseminate. https://bigthink.com/paul-ratner/34-ye\nars-ago-a-kgb-defector-described-ameri\nca-today
Thank you very much for the condolences. They are very much appreciated.
Interesting

No hego, it is not interesting. It is terrifying.
tried the link - got a message that page does not exist - has anyone else gotten to it?
No

Hmmmm, copying right from link. Try again, it worked for me. https://bigthink.com/paul-ratner/34-ye\nars-ago-a-kgb-defector-described-ameri\nca-today
remove the last part after paul-ratner and then it goes to his page and then scroll down to the story
https://tinyurl.com/ybkgub3o
I can see the problem. Clearly someone, my guess is Russians, don't want this to get out. Someone was inserted backward slashes, take those out.
Babble does not like long links so normally you would have to take out the /n in the link.
So it is always best to use tinyurl.com :-)
All hail to zoom!!! What he says.
He's always right!
:-)
zoom - those '/n' are not in the link I received, someone has changed them, this scares me more. Please listen to the entire interview.
no it is babble that inserts the /n, Helen. Not sure why. Been doing that for many years.
Thanks zoom, was not aware of that. I don't believe I've ever posted a link, but this news MUST get around. Especially if you are LGBT ..., a prisoner, anyone who feels threatened now.
afternoon, all!
Hi Eva!
Hows Mr K?
Has anyone listened to the link I posted?
hello hego -- little man K is doing quite well! not a baby anymore, thats for sure!
Will be 2 soon?
in September!
WOW!
i know - time flies!
yeah, mine will be 7 in september
When you watch kids grow it seems to go faster.
the rate at which they change is staggering
https://tinyurl.com/ybkgub3o It is THAT important.
read through the article - didn't realize you could also listen to the interview. The interview video link is all the way at the end of the article that I have
In 2 minutes Helen
Yes, the video is at the bottom of the article. Please listen, watch him closely, although a defector, still a look of immense pride for the Soviet accomplishment - and they just began.
I would argue that disbelieving facts in spite of evidence is not something that is engineered, but rather a core component of humans
mool - Are you questioning the veracity of what he is saying?
I am skeptical of the proposition that the
I am skeptical of the claim that the Russians have engineered the US political discussion
I believe the Russians are working to create chaos, but the claims within that article point to a process which has a certain conclusion, and that the Russians are basically the architects of what is going on right now
This video is 34 years old. Events have played out exactly as predicted. Russians play the long game, it is their strategy - explain to me why Stalin emerged from WWI unscathed after slaughtering over 20 million people - Long Game. I am showing you white in front of your face and you are denying it.
I think that is playing into fears, and providing a simplistic answer to something that is broader and more complex
People make the same claims about Nostradamus
I agree with Mool. Very sceptical.
Yes, exactly mool, that's exactly correct. The video is 34 years old, defector, who still shows pride in his face. Are you unfamiliar with Russian sleeper moles, Cold War. Yes, we should be afraid, very afraid.
Stalin emerged unscathed for the same reason that people like the Kim family in North Korea survived...or Castro in Cuba, or Pol Pot in Cambodia...or Kabila in Congo
or even Maduro in Venezuela
They rig the system around them to retain the power
Exactly, they have been & continue to be rigging us. You refuse to believe it.
In Stalin's case he ruled by fear, he killed off those who were a threat, in the same way that the North Korean rulers do
And in the same way Putin does.
In China it's more political sabotage, but Mao Tsetung killed 10s of millions and remained in power for many years after he caused those deaths
Yes, Putin uses political power to isolate and neutralize his enemies
At the core is the rot, we, a country of free speakers have the ability to stop that rot. All those other countries you mention, every single one, did not have the 'rights' we do here. We can fight back, they didn't have the tools we do.
I do find the evidence that Russians are attempting to sow dischord as a legitimate claim, but the determinism in that article is more conspiratorial IMO that
In a sense, the article is using the same methods they're describing the Russians doing, to try and get you to come to a determined conclusion
Venezuela did, Congo does to some extent
Populism is powerful though
Hitler was popularly elected
Mussolini too
Okay, I'm done. You want to keep your blinders one, your right. You soon may not have that right.
What's going on in Turkey also could be construed to be the process of changing from a democracy to authoritarian rule
If you have a point that you think I'm missing, I'm happy to listen
No mool, I have said my piece in my last response, I have bigger fish to fry. I respect your right to have your belief.
https://tinyurl.com/ybkgub3o
As I do yours. I'm open to convincing, I am a liberal at heart, and I am a political junkie, but I am also someone who is very much driven by logic and discussion. I think it's good to be skeptical, particularly with politics...as most time someone is trying to sell you something
I strive to have an open mind, rather than a closed one...certainly don't feel I have blinders on
Found my last seven lettered word!
Congrats! I don't have any yet, but not through with my first pass yet.

zooz...sorry...had a client call. No, I don't think they're related. The tenrec is really small, more like a field mouse.
Found my last word a few moments ago. PA 6/24
Congrats!!!!
yay!
We do not have them here :-(
and tx for the clue
Most welcome.
Hiya babblers
Hi!
Hello, Temple Owl :-)
hey TO...happy friday
Oh haha! I like the joke icon, Mool!
Okay time to see if I can find some new music. Happy babbling everyone!
Have a lovely!
glad you do zoo :)
Hint for the da7?

tx ori
And I've never seen it before! Thank you!
My mom could darn socks. But I could always outdarn her... if that were only a word.
Hello. i got 72 words this AM. Like zooz, that first dive-in with a cuppa is a great pleasure
It's a wonderful thing! Feeling like I've hit a wall with 45 left.
l finally reached half -- feeling pretty dumb
You aren't dumb...the grid is a pain!
L just watched a whole movie in English witthout understanding a word. it might as well have been Chinese!
Did they mumble? ;)
They had regional accents, l guess, but it was truly incomprehensible (and maybe they mumbled)
Lots of times I can't understand Musterpice without captions.
l struggle with French-langguage movies, but as long as it's not comedy, l'm OK
thunderstorms are rolling through - nice steady rain and not downpours - will be a good watering for the lawn and plants

Oh geez, you have your hands full... your friend must be beside herself. Are you very close to the mother as well? So sorry to hear this.
HEH.. in HS... of course there were sleepovers... and mum would always mae us amazing breakfasts... but if we were out drinking the night before.. runny slimy eggs were the order
LOL... are runny, slimey eggs a good "cure". Sounds like she was slipping you a little reinforcing punishment ;)
not a cure at all... LOL...
so we are well into the Wizard of Oz.
Ooooh, mean mommy!
I loved those books when I was young.. read the original series :)
that is what i am doing... part way through book 1. i adore classic children's literature.. so we have oodles to get through
There are worse ways to spend your time. Good thing you are free now to help out with respite care. Are you finished the grid?
did not start. tired. My nephew was down last night for the night we sat up chatting late and we were up early
LOL, an auntie's work is never done.
I am guessing a quick dinner then off to the land of Nod for you?
just playing a brain dead puzzle game on my phone and contemplating an early bed. I go back to london tomorrow
snap* TK
Ugh! Sounds like a sandwich and off to bed for you. I am cooking now, but think I will end up with a sammich myself.
yeap..was quick leftovers for me.. reheated salmon and fennel... a bowl of tziki
Sounds good! Leftovers are a sanity saver in my house..

hi all and wtg fiinishers !!!!
Almost halfway then I will shower after a day of kayaking and swimming in the lake.
I used to go to these monthly two-day long meetings populated by high level folks. We all brought our laptops and my work one was acting up so I brought my personal one once. My friend had snuck into my computer and changed my background to one of that former VP candidate in a red, white and blue bikini with a shotgun over her shoulder and I had no idea. When I turned my computer on a bunch of these folks saw it. I didn't say a word.
Greetings Gwen
omg ori, lol

Hi Trif

Honestly, kate. It is so annoying. In Chrome, all I see are the candles. In Firefox, I see the flower, so I am using Firefox for Babble.
got all the OU words

and i'm convinced that the right job will be there for you soon
what do you do, pam?
Is there any percentage in knocking on the doors of the others you have worked under or with..all jobs are competitions...you can't scoop one before it is posted as a vacancy?
HI LeslieAn :)

Yes, thank you, just a tiny niggle left in the shoulder. right as rain by tomorrow, ty for asking :)

Are you getting those rains we are promised for later LeslieAnn? I heard some thunder out over the lake here a few minutes go.

No... I'm over on Lake Erie, very close to Buffalo., so east of you.

I need a clue for OU 6 21...

Congratulations Leslie Ann and teach!!!
good night all
Woot!
Niters teach :)
Hamooooo
Damn it
Is ls1 on here? We're neighbors and I don't think I've ever discovered another player from Chicago.
heya kit, I'm in Chicago, Howie was in Chicago, Yvo was in a very close suburb of Chicago, as is Mamabear.
Really? I just imagine everyone so far away I guess. I'm by Wrigley. Where are you?
kit =
Damn flat keyboard - easier than the raised keys on my old desktop, but I keep hitting enter when I don't mean to. I'm right down the road from you in Bucktown.
Well, nice to meet you and to know that people aren't just in New Zealand, they're also close by.
I have some vague recollection of Is1, I think she took her dogs to the dog park in Forest Park.
I don't think I've ever noticed her pop up in chat
LOL - not just in NZ, funny! Nice to meet you also, neighbor.
She's been in here in the past couple of weeks.
She has twice as many career points as I have, so she has clearly spent a lot of time. :-0
I haven't looked at those stats since I stopped the need to have to finish every grid.
And you've been a member since 2007?
Every once in a while I look and marvel at the folks who have 10 times the number I have!
Yes, and I played for a while before I commited
When did you fall into this hole?
Yes, me too. I held out like probably 2-3 years.
2006 for me - before Facebook.
I love it and recommend it to people, but it's also ridiculous. I laugh at myself for the time I spend.
I used to always say what great chat it was, the opportunity to meet & make friends all over the world.
I agree. There are some really nice people on here and a few crazy scandals too!
A friend of mine is going to be flat on her back for a few weeks and I recommended Babble to her. Really made me think anew about why I like it and why she should jump in.
So kit, when I was in school, my boyfriend lived right on Addison, that first block west of Wrigley. When we were 'getting busy' and there was a ball game on, sometimes the timing was hysterical. Have you had this amazing experience?
I can see the park from the high-rise I live in at the corner of Addison and LSD, but you really don't hear much all the way up here. I used to live on Elaine, and those were the days when I spent more time getting busy, but I don't remember funny overlaps. I applaud your experience!
LOL - yep, so weird.
I need help with a TH. I Cannot figure out which is missing. It is supposed to go before the TH 4,5 5, 12 combo I think, but I but I just can't find it. Help!
t + another word for cap
old-timey 'yours'?
I have th**!
I have th 5 12 too.
I dk how many th's there are. I have 4,4,5.
it goes 4 4 5 4 5 4
Thanks, then I have some more to go.
There are 6 th's, right?
yes, are you missing a 4 or a 5
Got them all now, which one do you need?
I am missing one. I only have this and one other T to go before fireworks.
Missing one th and one "to".
Which ones do you hav
For th, I have 4 4 5 44. One is missing.
add a cons to the 3rd th
I think it comes before the TH 4 th 5 combo.
t+Hello!+short for aged
My third th is a five letter word.
Ah!
I missed the 5 th chemical. I thank you!
you're welcome!
yay
Good clueing, Kitty!
Now looking for a TO. I will hunt. I then will have fireworks...
Fireworks!!!!! Thank you wonderful Babble people!!!
I have 39 to go. Very tired, very stressful day, sad. Going to chill before bed for a while. Nice talking to you all. Niters.
YAY jai !!!!!!
funny - I have 35 to go and was thinking the same. It was very nice to meet you, Helen.
Good night, Helen!
Since you helped me, I would be willing to help you. Anyone want clues???
What's that et?
French for star, and I believe. Et+ word for Labor+e
Actually, central word is word for petroleum.
Et+ petrol+e

Try googling French word for star.

Great... Anything else???
Any lurkers out there needing clues. Last call...
Good Evening, I'd say there's no chance of me completing this grid when I haven't had a chance to even start it; right?
hahaha... well, guess not. but I just squeezed my last 30 or so in and came in under the wire, yay
Good for you. I decided to at least try for NBT (yes I'm addicted to Babble inspite of telling myself I'm not!)
