this is a banner babble day
morning babblers
thanks Lickety!
sprite sprite there's only one K and it's the best K word of them all

yes!!!
okay, found it and I agree... sweet!
:D

Hello Grannyrose and Sprite
hiya Foxy :) How are you doing and how is the Kiwi?
We both good thank you. I started yesterday’s one and nearly finished and poof it was gone, time ran out, I forgot about daylight savings
poor Foxy! Silly DLS should have waited for you to finish.
funny, usually English has much shorter words for things than Dutch. But today there is a word in the grid, not that it counts, where it is the other way around. Your word 'interpreter' is our word 'tolk'.
cooee and g'day. * hugs * Sprite. * hugs * foxy
*hugs Rose* Hello darling, how did your posie giving go?
it was lovely. all the ladies said..." i was thinking of Fred this morning ". i think they were actually very happy to see the flowers. brought back many happy memories of Fred. ( during the war he was a submariner, and as he wasn't much taller than I am, you can imagine him scooting through those doors in a submarine)
aw that is so sweet
how are you coping, honey? it was nice to see Rob up and about a bit. i hope he didn't over do it as much as i hope you don't over do things.
no, I told him in no uncertain terms he had to keep it down to the minimum and he did. He is still slowly improving. And I didn't do too much yesterday, and took a long shower. Only need to do the dishes and make sure everything is still clean
this is NOT my favourite time of the decade. time for my 5 yearly gastro-enterology procedure. I swear my GP was almost gleeful as she wrote out the request. Like PT's, i think GP take extra courses in how to send patients demented with their requirements..lol
roflol
yeah, sounds horrible. Still, good to keep it checked
yeah, well i won't be ROFLOL, any extra strain on abdo muscles could result in .... fill in the blanks.
fill in the pants
i'll try not to, but that prep is lethal.
don't envy you that one a bit
brb, Don just home with shopping
okay sweetie
Shouldn’t there have been a semi colon on GR’s comment?
good one, ru, take a bowel
With my humor I can be a little sphincter
you are fart too funny
I do havevinte
haha ruru. what is a full colon will soon be an empty colon...
I do have intestinal fortitude
I don't want to pooppoop rose's suffering though
awww go head ruru.... i can take it, and give it back too
Well you two tend to bladder on
it will be through the eye of a needle at 40 paces though.
that is because we are always so happee to see eachother
Well urine good company then
oh stop it ruru... laughing so hard here.
Sprite is a whiz at this
all in the tinkle of an eye
ruru, tell me please, is it true about prez and his comments about Mattel?
Sooner or later we will be flush out of puns
I will give that day a piss
it's all just a flash in the pan, ruru
No idea GR. He says all kinds of crazy shit these days. We are only 100 days in Yikes
it scares me shitless. No pun intended. Really scares me.
hang in there mate. just a little over 900 to go provided he doesn't change the terms of his employment, or should that be deployment?
i'm worried for my son. he works for Amazon here in australia, and now he has to have 4 levels of security clearance to keep his job. it's Amazon for crying out loud, not NATO.
Yes he seems determined to break our constitution
just know my heart is breaking for all those decent people in America. my fellow country men aren't much better actually. the millenials have just voted a Labor government back in for another 4 years. I have lived too many years under Labor. I can tell you, this is not good.
Sprite, stay where you are even if the rusky is knocking on your door. nowhere is safe any more.
I am upset for my Canadian friends. It is just so stupid
so long as they stay north of the border ruru. i am so very proud of the way the Canadian government has stood it's ground.
fireflies. Poofing with hugs.
* hugs * sprite. WTG SPRITE !!
Good morning, Babblers. :)
Happy Mother's Day. Hope all you Mom's get treated like queens today.

Super annoyed that the sound you hear on a landline isn't a valid word.
It's two words, not one
In my head it's one!
I would direct you to the complaints department, but there isn't one
Ooooh....good thought!
There officially isn't one since Dr. God's email doesn't work anymore. We are cut off.
Really? What's up with that?
Side effect of the server move. And he doesn't know since no one can email him.
Is he on the FB page?
I don't know. I asked if anyone chats with him there to let him know, but so far, emails to him keep bouncing back.
I just posted. We'll see.
Thanks Champ.
anyone get the ho7?
The most ho4/6
ty Champ
Stats for the last column e please?

FW! Have a great day everyone!
bye champ
well the 8 was easy to find.
*He said smugly
kind of an easy grid today.. nothing too weird other than the e
happy mother's day molly
I so wanted taoism, but I guess it's a proper noun
Thanks Ru
rollin with the homies
happy mother's day too to you hookie
Carla is so word up with the hip lingo
thanks, ruh roh
that's from a 1995 movie classic!
between that and hip acronyms she's years ahead of me
how was that 30 years ago??
Clueless is a movie classic? Dear God.
it's a perfect movie - not one moment in it i would change.
yes, yes it is
It's just Emma modernized
"just"? it's such a clever adaptation of it!
that's what I've always heard but of course I haven't read Emma
you haven't seen any of the many movie versions of it either hokie??
okay I'll take out the "just", I'm meaning that's why it wears so well
isn't gwyneth in one? I have a ban on gwyneth movies.
oh I agree hokie.. can't stand her
and I've probably had this ban for 30 years. she's the worst.
how the f*** Shakespear in love won the oscar that year I will never comprehend
kate beckinsale is in one
somebody called Romola Garai is in another
and Anya Taylor-Joy from the Queen's Gambit is in the most recent
I will give the credit for that Oscar to the hot Fiennes guy and Judi Dench
Paltrow is insufferable
i think people liked seeing Shakespearean times brought to life in a way that felt very relatable
yeah, I saw a youtube video a couple of months ago about the worst oscar wins and they mentioned that and how it won. IIRC, it was basically due to Miramax and Weinstein.
what else was nominated that year?
saving private ryan
Judi Dench could read the phone book and I'd love it
she's an awesome actress
"she's a national treasure"
agreed
except she'
I mean, saving private ryan is one of the best movies I've ever seen in my life.
she's a british national treasure
Have you seen Tracy Ullman's spoofs of her? That's her line
Blythe Danner was in an early Columbo and it is crazy how much she looked like Gwyneth
they promoted the film (Weinstein) heavily to make it win
yes
Academy awards are not based on popular opinion
true
how Good Fellas didn't win drives me nuts.. one of the greatest films of all time
and Pulp Fiction
did Fargo win the oscar?
goodfellas and the godfather(s) are like my princess bride, ruru
pulp fiction was the same year as shawshank and forrest gump right?
fargo won best screenplay
shawshank was great too.. Gump shouldn't have won
Fargo is a very great film
pulp fiction also won best screenplay
fargo is great, I watch it every so often
how dare you compare good fellas to princess bride hookie
no, I said it's my princess bride, as in I've never seen them like you've never seen princess bride
oh.. you gotta be kidding me
it is a masterpiece
I wasn't even old enough to see it in theaters when it came out
I tried to watch a part of Princess bride once and it was so dumb and ham fisted humor, and horrible acting. I had to change channels
(now feels very very very old)
...with ham fisted...
I love the humor in PB, the acting is great. you probably just think it's horrible due to the humor.
I know that's a sacrilegious comment around here
I've never seen it either, ru.
*high fives Bea*
And I have seen Good Fellas and All the Godfathers.
what are y'all's feelings on A League of Their Own? One of my top 5 movies.
the first Godfather is one of the greatest movies of all time
I enjoyed that movie hokie.. but i have a soft spot for Gena Davis
now the first godfather was before I was born, ruru
(especially after Thelma and Louise)
I never actually saw thelma and louise
oh.. you gotta be kidding me
was just looking through a list of other past oscar winning pictures and can't believe Dances with Wolves won either
do you live in a cave for goodness sake
oh dances with wolves and paint drying.. I'll watch the paint
that was another stupid win
well, the problem with thelma and louise is if you get spoiled by the ending, why bother
???
sometimes it's about the journey, not the destination, eh? but that was definitely how i felt about Titanic - did not like the foreknowledge
same, I'm a huge cryer in movies but didn't even cry in titanic because I knew what was coming
I couldn't watch the titanic.. I despise James Cameron
It's a cultural icon at this point, you need to see it just for that
i really did not enjoy it
Still talking about T&L here, not titanic.
that's just the tip of the iceberg hursh
:D
har har har
dang it, i thought dalit counted
ok, back to this grid...after two rows, the last col seems to be the worst
I guess the saying is true.. whatever floats your boat
ruru, the puns on this one are a sinking ship. let it go.
ooh, found the 8
gotta go get ready for my hike.. have fun everyone. Happy mother's day to all.
thanks ruru. have fun.
watch for mountain lions
scare 'em off by banging two sticks together
right
I'll pun those suckers to death
re: the last column, hokie, i do need 3 Fs and cannot think what the E can be
es7
I need 2H (and that was a struggle) and 4F. haven't gotten to E yet.
it's like a large party gathering for ethnicity and drop the F
wow, thanks
weird
was probably not going to get around to trying that
what does ethnicity have to do with it? you can have a strawberry fe8 when the strawberries are ripe
there are tons of kinds of fe8s
i know I picked the easiest one to clue
Hookie got it right away so it was a good clue
:D
well, because I had just found the 8 made it easier
are you purposely calling her hookie now or is that a repeated typo?
I was meh about A League of Their Own
no ... someone else called her hookie and I've stuck with it as I think it's funny
aha
it's a cute movie molly... even madonna wasn't that bad
It's some weird nickname thing those two have going on. Hookie and RuhRoh
of course you were, molly. LOL
ruhroh is from scooby doo
everybody knows THAT
I barely know who scooby doo is
never watched it.
not some of these old geezers, hurshy. see??
i never really watched it either but i know that is where ruh-roh comes from!
I watched it as a kid and my kids watched it.
I hope I live long enough to hear about Hookie complaining about aging
oh, I'm already super old
oh LOL sure
well I feel like it
I know where Ruhroh is from. I just find the whole obsession with nicknames thing perplexing.
its very vexing when you got to the shops specially to buy ingredients, spend ages making something and it still looks like a splodge in a bowl
ah look its smurshy
lol, sounds delish
it's fun molly.. at least to us
What did you make, Ata?
Oh boy, there is another US vs UK word thing. Splodge here means something on the ugh side.
it means different here?
I read one yesterday (a Scottish word) Cockwomble that was really interesting
japanese potato salad, its deliicous but does look rather like chunky vomit
not sure I've seen splodge here or there
cockwomble is a very UK word
I'm assuming molly thinks it's semen
Here it is a reference to semen which I am sure you didn't mean
I drove through ABerdeen last summer Atlante I didn't realize you lived there.. so gorgeous in the higlnands
Cockwomble describes Trump
highlands
well actually, now you come to mention it ... japanese mayo is pretty resmbling
ru!! yes, isn't it all glorious :D
I just loved Scotland .. we went all over the country and out to a few islands
ooh, just found the at6/7 set
atalante must've made it happen
i found those too but still need 3 a from there
also need 3
nay, 2
I know I'm pretty biased living there, but Scotland is one of the most incredible places. which islands did you get to?
We spent a few days on Mull and a couple On Islay
Origami, Saanich, Doren and me
I hope to go someday too
Mull was AMAZINGly gorgeous
ah, good islands :) I love Mull in particular
i guess people probably brood a lot there
I got to see my puffins too by taking a boat out to the reserve
go go hurshy
lol, hurshy. I was thinking Mull doesn't conjure up amazingly gorgeous. probably a name.
mull and iona and ulva are super special
i should live there, i do have a strong tendency to mull things over
we went to Staffa
and Iona
I'd live there in a heartbeat
phantom limit
cold weather or not
did you get into the cave on staffa or was it too bumpy to land?
Doren walked to the Basalt Cave I climbed the hills to see the puffins (a bucket list item for me)
I want to move over to the west coast. But I guess I'm over in Oban / Fort William every other weekend in the summer so thats pretty good
I like the west side.. we stayed in Abrichen ? sp?
i had sheets with puffins on them for a while but then they ripped
the west coast is gorgeous until midge season
some of the small towns on the way to Oban were lovely
also phantom timid
Ru travels with a harem
we didn't have a midge issue
yeah, I've heard about the midges
which is why you love the west coast so much :P
yikes
no one liked my driving though
.. I better get going. ... see you all tomorrow
drving round the back roads in scotland is a bit of an art!
phantom vision
well, 28 left after first pass. 8-8-7-5....must get to my quilt sandwich
Vs Vanquished!
11 left here
100 left here :D
but I like the roundness of the number
makes sense
hi, babblers
i found 49 at the flip so i have found 100 this morning
hiya welki
welki!
whoops, finished fours
9 left
atalante i just had a crossword clue 'Pod group' and i thought of whales before peas, are you proud of my marine biology bent?
very :D
which reminds me that i saw pea icecream in china
eww
I didnt try it
i don't blame you
some spring peas are very sweet, it might be tasty
lots of things on the original iron chef were not things i would have wanted to try
I was really interested in the 'normal' fruits set out each day for snacks / breakfast etc. Dragonfruit, tomatoes, melon, cucumbers
I have never seen so many tomatoes
Think of it, vanilla is in a pod, peas are in a pod, who knows what the result is. I like dragonfruit, and I have had an English breakfast with tomatoes.
dragonfruit is dellllicious
tomato is a staple breakfast thing, but I'd say normally as a vegetable in a fry up not a fruit course

fe8 - a large public celebration
of course, thank you april
You are most welcome :)
mistlefoe; that person you run from when you accidentally stand under the mistletoe
just stepped out for a minute and 3 new arrivals :) Hi everyone
down to 11 - enough for me
made it down to 17...1-4-7-5... way too many 6s and 7s for me without a list
oh, just looked over and saw a 5
has anyone been in touch with dr god>
hello TO. what is the problem?
hi rose. it's most annoying, when i try to add words, a code is suggesting them.
may be browser but has never done this before
babble used to do that many moons ago. not sure if it's a Dr God issue or not. he has just changed servers.
would you like me to contact him for you?
his address no longer works since the change- uness you have managed to contacthim>
hey TO, I think you are describing what some of us talked about the other day. we could not narrow it down to a browser IIRC. we tried changing certain settings but mine is still doing it. I can hover over the right of the suggested word and x it out.
I have no idea also why it does it sometimes but not others
sp annoying and wastes time
anyway happy mother's day to all mothers here
thankyou TO. and Happy Mother's Day to you as well.
thanks, and to all of you
i need 34 but an just fed up. this may be the thing to make me quit
can you x them out? mine were building up and being super annoying but after I x'd all those out, I only have like one at a time every so often.
it's like an ai that fills in random words as i type them into the box.
so i do not understand how i would x them out?
are you all gone?
good night
sweet dreams TO. apologies. prepping for a gas/colon and needed to fill in the dates when i stop some meds, and start certain food/drinks. ugh. i hate this time of the decade.
sorry, I was gone. yeah, so on mine if I hover over the right side next to the word, an x appears.
