2:01 am

lottijw

I`ve just put in to6 it took ages to accept it, but it hasn`t given me any points with it!!! }:(

2:03 am

shorty

I'm having the same problem

2:04 am

sprite

Try refreshing the page, that usually solves the problem.

2:05 am

lottijw

Hi Shorty....Is it the same word to6 rhymes with the tu Khamun pharaoh, or just in general??

2:06 am

shorty

just in general

2:07 am

shorty

oh and hi don't mean to be rude

2:07 am

lottijw

Oooo Sprite i`ve refreshed and the word has vanished!!! :O

2:07 am

lottijw

LOL Shorty :)

2:08 am

sprite

:)
In that case it wasn't a valid one, shorty, sorry. Good luck hunting for the right one ;)

2:09 am

lottijw

Now it won`t accept the word at all..... You must be right :/

2:09 am

shorty

wasn't my word was lottijw

2:09 am

sprite

I mean lotti, not shorty... sorry again ;(

2:10 am

lottijw

It`s ok :)

2:13 am

shorty

sprite I just read your Bio whats the name of your books?

2:15 am

sprite

They are in dutch. First one is Jirelle. Sequel in translation would be something like The dark stream.

2:16 am

shorty

oh so there probably not in the states?

2:17 am

sprite

I am afraid not. They would need a translation, and the publisher will not invest that much money, alas.

2:18 am

shorty

oh darn them

2:19 am

sprite

I have been working on a translation, but as non-native speaker I can only do so much. And just okay just isn't good enough. But I keep believing that some day they will be translated.

2:21 am

shorty

that would be cool I'd love to read them

2:23 am

sprite

There is a little fragment translated on the website. If you would like to read it, it's on http://www.jirelle.nl/en/fanta sy-story.php
(you need to remove the spaces babble puts in)

2:24 am

shorty

oh ty got it am going to go read it thanks

2:26 am

sprite

I'd love to hear what you think about it :)

2:28 am

sprite

Ey7/40 should be lethal.

2:29 am

Blaze

I think that hotty should be a word.... LOL

2:43 am

sprite

Wow shorty, that's great to hear! I hope one day some american or british publisher will happen upon the site and say the same thing... so it CAN be translated and published abroad. Thanks for the support :)

macadam

England is a suburb compared to Australia LOL

4:32 am

Neeny

Hi Mr President,

Just come on-line and was hunting for previous clues when I saw your e-mails about Oz....I visited earlier this year and just had to say the penguins at Philip Island are so cute. One of the most amazing moments of my life sitting on the beach watching them come up to their nests. I'd love to go back and do it again someday.

4:33 am

mrpresident

Neeny... so glad you liked it! I see it every year and it never gets 'old'... one of the most wonderful things in the world to see! I agree

4:34 am

Frances

mrpresident
Love Aus. Never got to Philip Island. However, did have a picnic at hanging rock!

4:35 am

rolin

ha...done the picnic at hanging rock..but never saw the penguins at phillip island..despite growing up in melbourne..must check it out for next year

4:37 am

mrpresident

hanging rock!! I haven't done that... Three Sisters picnic at the Blue Mountains was the best I've done... and you have to visit again!!

4:38 am

Neeny

Sydney is lovely too....I can see why some of my friends moved there. They were convinced I was going to emigrate once I visited and it was pretty tempting. I'll definitely be making a return trip as I only saw one small corner of Oz and there's so much more still to see. I'm from lush green Scotland (although currently living in dreary grey London) but Oz has to be the most visually stunning place I've seen - the landscape is so colourful!

4:39 am

lottijw

Back for another 10mins.....
Hi Rolin, long time no see!! :)

4:39 am

mrpresident

Beautiful city... lovely weather... I haven't found better and I have seen alot!

4:40 am

macadam

Back again Lotti!

4:40 am

I would love to visit Scotland... my OH did in the dead of winter and he still had the most wonderful things to say about the place!!

4:40 am

4:40 am

lottijw

Yeah mum....then the duster and vac are coming out!! :(

4:41 am

Neeny

Wow Rolin, which part of London are you in??? I live in Hackney - there are some nice parks but it's not a patch on home. Luckily I do work on the edge of Epping Forest and I see plenty of wildlife which is a bonus!

4:42 am

Frances

I have lumps of opal found in the bush near Kangeroo Vallet NSW. Would love to visit Coober Pedy where the best come from and where they have the cave houses.

4:42 am

4:44 am

Those after Thanksgiving sales are insane, you can catch better prices all year long if you're vigilant. I pick up a few presents every week all year and come turkey day, I enjoy the show...

8:30 am

Uneaixoise

oh, faerie, i'm so sorry to hear that . . . my mom, who was always soooo fun and high-energy and ready for any and all adventures, is now pretty docile and child-like in many ways. I'm so glad my daughter (now 27) knew her before . . . but we both miss "the old Mimi" profoundly.

8:30 am

faeriekae

Bunny - I'm not a good shopper so this year was very hard for me but I will do better next year. I actually ordered a couple of things online yesterday for next Christmas.

8:33 am

faeriekae

Une-Mom still knows us at this point for the most part (there are 9 of us kids) but she is very child like also and very demanding. But we help each other and Everyone takes turns staying with Mom. She only weighs 92 lbs now.

8:35 am

bunnyvicious

I think when the kids all get older (many,many years from now), it'd be fun to make a trip of it, I have so many girls and they already love to shop til they drop, or at least til I do.

How many girls do you have?

9:57 am

fit1

re6 18. To get up again

9:57 am

sherb

to7 - made up of two words which, apart from the fact that they're both to do with the foot, have no apparent reason for being joined together!

9:57 am

EasternBlue

unless you are a ballerina....

9:58 am

Babbler

oohh yeeeaaah! I hadn't noticed Yoink's hamster had a little hat on! lol! sooooo cute!!

EasternBlue

hi zoom!!

9:59 am

sherb

well, EB, apart from my brief impersonation of Moira Shearer's red-shoed feet the other day, I've never come close to being mistaken for a ballerina! :D

9:59 am

Yoink

Even kung-fu hamsters celebrate christmas. Though I'd have imagined it being a Buddhist...

10:00 am

zoom

hi sherb - reckon i might ask for one in my christmas stocking :)

10:01 am

Jera

That's it for me... does anyone need some help before I go finish packing??

10:01 am

sherb

10:01 am

harpjane

Yoink - your hamster icon is a wee bit disturbing!!! Its like those egg credit card ads with the guinea pigs! Personification taken to the next level!

10:04 am

Jera

10:04 am

EasternBlue

hi Dachef!

10:04 am

zoom

hi dachef!

10:05 am

Have fun in Georgia!

Nonny

Good morning all! I'm down to my last one. Any help w/ re 6/18 please? Got lots to do so I'd like to finish this NOW!!!

10:06 am

Jera

I've got a full afternoon, which is why I worked hard to finish early... gonna finish packing while I watch The Brothers Grimm (so I can return the movie), then a bath & pick up Gwyd from preschool... then he has an appointment to see if he might be autistic... then back home to take off for the train... I hope traffic isn't too bad!

10:06 am

EasternBlue

thanks Dachef!

10:06 am

Dachef

sherb - mmmwah!

10:07 am

Jera

Sorry for the confusion harpjane... I should have put the code with the clue (I always forget that)...

10:07 am

Jera

10:10 am

Dachef

Schroeder - is your icon a pic of you? Grrrrrowl!

10:10 am

Jera

Hi Schroeder :)

10:11 am

Jera

10:11 am

Richplaydo

any help with the ne5?

10:11 am

Jera

ne5 = add a sometimes vowel to ne4

Schroeder

10:12 am

Richplaydo

10:12 am

richplaydo - ne5 - something that has lots of ne4/4?

10:12 am

sherb

10:13 am

brandyjack

ne5/15, add the sometimes vowel to the ne4/4

10:13 am

Jera

Thanks, sherb... I'm not too worried... just need to know if there's a problem that needs to be dealt with... he can be very frustrating & autism would explain alot.

10:15 am

Jera

Well... I'd better scoot so I won't be stressed out with last-minute problems... I think I'll leave the car cleaning & loading to my darling husband...

10:15 am

Jera

Happy Holidays, everyone & see you next week!

Smaller, it needs a firm hand lol

Sherb, mine just does this sometimes...it's like God creating bacteria. He was doing so well, having created dolphins, flowers, and some divine apple crumble, when he started to lose his touch and could only manage a couple of other things - baboons, perhaps, and toads - before he had to go have a lie down. That's what my computer is like.

Ah, I love made up words, they make life so much simpler. My personal favourites are: noi, snadwich, and 'hild cpry'

11:27 am

Schroeder

Oh smaller that almost made me smile....did you not give him a triple mocha before you tried to uncranky him

11:28 am

Miyavi_fan

11:31 am

sherb

some people just dont want to be happy - bah humbug!

11:31 am

Miyavi_fan

Okay, I don't wanna know :) I'm still pondering how the words 'child prey' translated to 'hild cpry'

um, that being said, I'll just say, Child Prey is a song. I'm not sadistic.

11:31 am

smaller

Tink and Ren, more specifically,

i had mentioned you and yoink to the pool goers a couple of days ago so it's become a "thing" now about being nice to each other. very funny. but there's one guy who's holding out so we're pouncing on him. So I stood next to his lane and yelled out things like "wow you're such a good swimmer" "wow nice flip turn" "your swim trunks are a nice color on you, matches your complexion well, are you a summer or a spring?"
then, he dunked me. not nice

11:32 am

artlady

There's always teh...I type that a lot!
Somepeople just don't uncrank easily.

11:33 am

sherb

*shoulders heaving with laughter* - smaller, just leave the poor guy alone! he probably thinks he's being stalked, lol :D

11:34 am

Miyavi_fan

lol Smaller! Reminds me of the time some friends and I were at the cinema, and were hyper, and so were going, "ooooh! ahhhh!" at the changes of scene, and yelling "U-S-A! U-S-A!" at the 'appropriate' moments. Then we got thrown out. typical. trying to bring a bit of jollity into the world.

11:34 am

smaller

LOL sherb and miya!

11:34 am

Smaller now that's funny *tries to keep mocha from coming out of nose*

And then we were called obnoxious. humph.

11:35 am

11:37 am

Oooh, gotta go.

11:38 am

Miya - i know, so unfair.

Tink - That's my christmas present for ya. knew you'd be pleased

Ren - a nice purple that matched the vein popping out on his forehead that I saw right before he dunked me

11:38 am

artlady

One rhymes with those nastly little critters kids get in their hair...

11:38 am

artlady

Oh smaller, what a great image!

well, I was just making a joke about his complexion...now I want what other significance purple trunks might have...

11:44 am

sherb

*now I want to know*

11:45 am

renfield

sherb - i don't know - purple people eater?

11:45 am

renfield

if i told my assitant her purple suit matched her complexion - i would probably need to post a help wanted....

11:46 am

smaller

oh,
no it was a reference to an earlier pool discussion that he scoffed at about what colors look good on people. sorry for the confusion. so "matching" meant that it was a good color "for" his complexion
i thought you and ren meant there was some sort of suggestive thing about purple trunks, i must have a dirty mind.
oh wait, yes i do

11:48 am

renfield

ok - see - i go to do something good for someone and miss an important part of the conversation.....leave me hangin - 8)

11:51 am

11:53 am

good point, sherb

Which season has cobalt blue and turquoise?

Good afternoon, evening everyone. I'm taking a chance to relax after a day spent decorating the house. Still have shopping to do but let's not think about that now....

11:58 am

Haz1558

Artlady - turquoise is one of those colours that can be worn by most people, although it depends on the shade. Cobalt blue would be winter.

11:59 am

smaller

artlady,
could be a winter or spring I think.

Hi Haz!
And a "Hi Deutsch" was to go earlier before the "i'm a spring too" so Hi Deutsch!

12:08 pm

Deutsch....it was murder to live through, because he took it right back to the breeze block walls leaving one cold water pipe or the outside tap!!! He did it with the help of a couple of friends during a lot of pain as he`d just been knocked off his bike!!

12:08 pm

sherb

well, I have a new kitchen, but I could always use a handy man ;) *adds name to list below Deutsch...*

12:09 pm

artlady

No, haz, I'm just the only one left who make it. Along with her piecrust--which is heavenly! Neither of my kids are interested, so I guess I'll hand it down to my grandkids...someday!

12:09 pm

lottijw

LOL Sherb!! He`s an electrical technician and engineer by trade!!

12:12 pm

Deutsch

Lotti, wow, but I guess it's worth it now. Wait, but not the pain on his part. Is he back to himself, now?
(Go shroeder!)

12:12 pm

Haz1558

Is it that they don't like eating the caramel or can't be bothered making it? In any case, make sure that the secret gets passed on.

12:13 pm

evanonut

artlady, feel free to think of me as family!
;)

12:13 pm

artlady

Haz, everyone LOVES the caramels. They are incredible. The problem is, it takes a couple of hours, a lot of it stirring a pot on the stove. Then it takes a couple of hours to cut and wrap them. I''m the only one who'll take the time.

12:14 pm

Haz1558

Well, some things are worth investing the time for. Those caramels sound like they're worth it!

12:16 pm

artlady

Oh, they are.
Well, it's been lovely, folks, but I'm done and the caramels are calling. I may not be back for a few days, so Merry Christmas and a Happy Hannukah to all!

Janet has a series of awesome books about a female bounty hunter that will make you laugh out loud wherever you are. I have gotten more people hooked on those books including my 80 year old mother.

12:44 pm

evanonut

smaller, you want to read an amusing mystery, just pick up one of her books.

12:44 pm

12:45 pm

renfield

smaller - are you janet evanovich?

12:45 pm

evanonut

good sherb - it'd be the stephanie plum series you want

12:46 pm

smaller

evanonut and joey,

so it's funny and mystery? like sitcom mystery
or
mystery with moments of good humor?

12:46 pm

evanonut

likes books that need to be great comedies with sandra bullock playing the lead role.

12:47 pm

smaller

Yes, Renfield.

I am Janet Evanovich, I really like to solicit compliments. I write great books but suffer from a very low self-esteem. such a shame

12:47 pm

renfield

smaller - it's humor, some bad language, and a wise cracking granny....

12:47 pm

joey

I don't consider them mysteries. More like action movies with lots of laughter and sexual innuendoes and the funniest scenes you can possibly imagine

12:47 pm

e_gurl85

i dont see the fy 5 letter word

12:47 pm

evanonut

* asks santa to make it into a movie for christmas *

12:48 pm

joey

my favorite mental image - the lead character and her very hefty friend who always dresses in spandex as befits her past as a hooker chasing some woman through a park to get her dog's droppings.

12:48 pm

renfield

the humor is pretty close smaller - 8)

12:48 pm

smaller

Evanonut,

I'm Santa too so gift will be granted....sometime.

12:48 pm

evanonut

like real life turned upside down - with laugh out loud, omg i think i just peed myself moments.

12:49 pm

joey

Sandra Bullock would be the perfect person to play the lead - however, there is a rumor that it will be Reese Witherspoon in actuality. Boo hoo

12:49 pm

evanonut

well look at that, smaller is janet ;)

12:50 pm

renfield

smaller should play stephanie

12:50 pm

joey

it is sometimes embarrassing when those moments happen in the books and it is really inopportune to laugh out loud but you do it anyway.

12:50 pm

evanonut

i wanna be lula

12:50 pm

joey

no, no, you can't be lulu, that is my role - she is just so sassy.

12:51 pm

Well, luckily the only one who currently works there is the brother in law at DCX... and they're probably doing the best of the 3. But yeah, things are not good for lots of people around here. :(

2:33 pm

evanonut

i think it's terrible...it seems like it is alway companies that pay decent that go belly up, something is wrong here.

2:33 pm

harpjane

Yup. 400. 2 cycle, 2 cylinder. Air cooled. You have to mix oil into the gasoline. (There's an oil reservoir. When you fill it up, you turn a crank to add the oil to the gas tank!)

2:34 pm

evanonut

wicked hj - just like my golf cart!

2:35 pm

Anj

...cuts? Haven't they just bought some small company...Kia, Daewoo or somebody like that, and rebadge them as Chevys over here...??

2:38 pm

Bugzy

Yeah - a lot of it's the insurance costs esp. for retirees. Big problems.
I think it was Daewoo Anj - supposedly it's one of the only parts of GM that's doing well....

2:38 pm

Anj

Ah Harp...the joys of owning a classic : )

2:40 pm

Anj

Bugzy, they didn't have a strong stable of cars over here, but they had an untouchable warranty and after-sales service which meant they didn't need to. Could be a canny buy providing GM build on the customer service : )

2:42 pm

evanonut

sorry..."stable" of cars?

2:43 pm

Bugzy

Hopefully it'll help them - the "global" market is where they're looking to bolster the bottom line.
Over here GM just needs to build cars people want to buy... Their design is a good 5-10 years behind the times... and their prices are high for what you get too. Hope they turn it around....

2:43 pm

renfield

demographics here are toyota and lexus have the market in autos / suvs followed by gm trucks / suvs, then ford trucks, then chrysler (dodge ram charger trucks)

thanks

2:49 pm

Anj

Bugzy, I think most of the big boys are still hoping to make another 'Mustang' - as in a facelift model using the existing or new old parts bins with minimal new engineering or investment. Probelm is you can only fold a piece of paper 7 times, as the saying goes... : /

2:49 pm

Miyavi_fan

Good thanks, Sherry! Have just said goodbye to all my lovely PV's, though...*sniffling*

Eva, the door is still in its rightful position...and to get my own back, I plastered it in pictures of J-rockers. So it's all good, thanks ^_^

2:49 pm

Anj

Ah, is that a Miy I see before me?

2:49 pm

Bugzy

Evanonut - Actually, yeah, what I do is marketing and research...not for the auto companies anymore but I used to... but I do love cars. Hard not to around here.

2:50 pm

FMitch

2:50 pm

smaller

evanonut-
yes, sorry didn't complete thought, meant the "1 for the M..."
wow people really do like janet. how could I have missed such a glaring possible addiction

2:50 pm

Miyavi_fan

Anj, possibly, possibly...unless you're looking at my icon. In which case it's a grumpy Kyo

2:51 pm

evanonut

bugzy - tough field, you gotta keep on your toes or you'll go by the wayside.

2:51 pm

evanonut

s'okay smaller, we've reeled you in now! but lula is definitely her masterpiece.

2:52 pm

Bugzy

I agree about these "new" models - the Mustang is tres cool - but the others... YUK!

2:52 pm

2:52 pm

renfield

smaller - keep us posted on how you like 1 for the mo

2:53 pm

joey

smaller, no the one before that - I have the "fart" one.

2:53 pm

Bugzy

That's why I got out of anything having to do with the auto industry....
I'm actually a librarian by training so I always have that to fall back on :)

2:53 pm

Sherry

joey: think of feet

2:53 pm

evanonut

mmm, library would be more my style - books books books

Miyavi_fan

HEY! Why me?

2:54 pm

FMitch

joey - think sun ri** in the morning and it does it again the next day.

2:55 pm

Miyavi_fan

SMALLER. I am waiting for an explanation!

2:56 pm

Bugzy

I loved the library but it got a little boring. And I hated working nights and weekends.
Ren - Love the late 60s GTOs. The most recent ones, not so much.

2:56 pm

Anj

Miy, can't we have a smiling one instead??

Ren, which GTO? young or old?? The latest GTO is offered as the Vauxhall Monaro over here

2:56 pm

evanonut

2:58 pm

joey

Smaller, you are so lucky. You will get to read 11 books in a row (if you like them) without having to wait for months for the next one to come out. I agree - you need to let us know what you think.

2:58 pm

FMitch

joey - the only other one I can think on the to4/4 is the to carry?

3:06 pm

joey

3:11 pm

3:11 pm

Miyavi_fan

You're welcome...I just can't believe Kyo is actually capable of smiling like that.

3:11 pm

renfield

not me - i like the brain - but i like ranger

3:12 pm

Miyavi_fan

Eva, I wouldn't feel safe. Even though Kyo is an above-average psycho, short of getting a knife out he's not that threatening ^_^

3:12 pm

smaller

yep evanonut, but don't talk about it, she's sensitive about it!

3:13 pm

When I was your age, Miyavi, I liked slender men, too. Never liked the muscled look, and still favor not so bulky.

hey miya, sometimes the turns your mind takes astound me, i think i'm dizzy now.

3:15 pm

4:14 pm

Anj

Ren, I prefer Blaze's take on that:

"Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, martini in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO what a ride!" : D

4:15 pm

Amen to that!

i buy from sellers who have a lot of sales (stars and stuff) and i read the complaints and kudos - there are a couple of sellers i have been buying from for about 4 years now - also - i use my amex and paypal - and if they're not nice to me amex won't pay them.

4:52 pm

Yoink

Lola, I don't mind you asking but the answer is somewhere in between. It is mainly for fitness, or an attempt to achieve it, and I am nowhere near competition standard, even at a local level

4:52 pm

sherb and deutsch -
well i guess something with chocolate would be more my style

4:52 pm

renfield

bye boxy -

speaking again of bye - ruff - BUY your eyedrops1

5:21 pm

shalee

drum77, the ce6 is like the font "san----" but spelled with ce and a little different ending, the ce7 is plural of that. sorry it's not the best clue.

5:21 pm

renfield

5:24 pm

sherb

5:24 pm

drum77

Looks like Old English spelling of ri 4/4

5:24 pm

Schroeder

harp, if something is really funny it's a ri**

5:25 pm

renfield

ry - list a misspelling of a people causing a distrurbance in public -

5:27 pm

5:27 pm

renfield

5:27 pm

5:33 pm

hurshy

oh hey nice icon sherb!

5:34 pm

renfield

everyone is gone from the office except me - i get phones, shipping, receiving, et al.... but i like it real quiet...kind of scary though

5:34 pm

sherb

thanks hurshy...it's been making me feel very laid back all day :)

yours looks like beautiful snow scene :)

5:35 pm

renfield

oh - and i get all the presents that have come in today!!!!

5:35 pm

hurshy

yes, i love snow

5:36 pm

sherb

sounds pretty good to me, ren ... I'd happily work in an empty office for half the week ... until I got lonely...

5:37 pm

Schroeder

I wish I had snow :( no white christmas for me, just rain and lots of it

5:38 pm

renfield

it only gets really scary when the guard goes home - i can amuse myself for hours and actually get more work accomplished.

5:38 pm

sherb

snow in the city is a nightmare - pretty for five minutes, then gridlock, ice and filthy slush ...much better out of town...

5:38 pm

hurshy

sorry to hear that schro - i will blow you some snow (((blows really really hard)))

5:39 pm

renfield

i want some snow to hurshy - we've got 70F

5:40 pm

sherb

don't you get to go home when the guard goes home? (*hears Psycho music in the background, imagining ren on her own in the office building*)

5:40 pm

hurshy

((((blows some snow ren's way))))

5:43 pm

Schroeder

Thanks Hurshy, it's hard to get in the spirit of things when there is no snow
*knocks on Renfield's door and runs away*

5:43 pm

renfield

shreb- i try to make it out of here before the guard....this is a really scary part of the highway. lot of women have disappeared from this area - one night i was just standing by my car watching the sunset - and this strange guy came by 3 or 4 times and finally stopped and asked me if i needed help...uh no

5:44 pm

renfield

you better stop that shro!!! i 've got alarms and dead bolts everywhere!!!

5:44 pm

hurshy

gosh ren, how scary. i always say that nice men may just be trying to be helpful but that they ought to know it's nicer to us to just stay away and not scare us. :)

5:45 pm

renfield

i agree hurshy - and what about those horn honkers when you're just taking a walk to enjoy the day or evening?

5:46 pm

hurshy

hmmm... well i live in a rural area myself, ren, so don't get a lot of that. but i do imagine it would be unpleasant. also, i'm beginning to think you are likely much hotter than me. :)

5:47 pm

sherb

you shouldn't be on your own there, ren...leave before the guard leaves and on't take any chances :)

5:49 pm

renfield

ah - to live in a rural area -
the guard still has some time o n the clock.i won't let him leave w.o me.

5:50 pm

sherb

well, time I went up the wooden hill to Bedfordshire ... or along the hall to the bedroom...

nite hurshy :) nite ren, and take care :)

5:51 pm

hurshy

nite sherb!

5:51 pm

Schroeder

Nite Sherb!!!

6:05 pm

renfield

i wonder if torg will be back with his stories tonight?

6:06 pm

hurshy

btw ren, was someone looking for me or something? i mean was there a reason you said "there she is!" when i posted first?

6:09 pm

renfield

not that i remember - just a friendly greeting! - i've been in and out of the chat log today and i noticed that you had not been in when i was around - and mab and harp were in and out - so it was just a note of surprise!! 8)

6:15 pm

hurshy

ah, well, thanks for the friendly greeting. yeah, i didn't get on at all yesterday and wasn't sure if i would today either. i've been (dare i say it) too bummed to babble.

6:17 pm

renfield

i'm sorry you're bummed hurshy. wish i could help.

6:17 pm

mrpresident

Hi all... off on holiday for a week so may not be logging in for a while.
Merry Xmas/Happy Holidays

6:18 pm

hurshy

it's ok, i feel a *little* better now. i probably won't feel totally better until january 3.

6:18 pm

ExWren

Finished at a more reasonable time tonight. I was struggling last night, and had to leave 3 words unfinished, and guess what, my rankings went back up again.

6:18 pm

renfield

hey mr. prez - enjoy you time

6:18 pm

hurshy

exwren - i think maybe the rankings only update up to 2 days ago, not up to yesterday. ?

6:19 pm

renfield

hurshy - do you miss the kids?

6:20 pm

Schroeder

Okay all, I'm going to head home...have a good evening if I don't get back..

6:21 pm

renfield

ok shro - see you later - or not - enjoy

6:26 pm

hurshy

oh, sorry ren, got distracted. yes, i miss, well, i miss the one kid. the one who lives with us, and is basically like a son to me.

6:35 pm

renfield

hurshy -- when you are use to someone being in your home, whether you see them that often or not, you do miss them.it's one of those aches that nothing can take care of until you see them again. i think you should cry and cry and cry - then get in your car and scream realllll loud - i think dorie previn wrote a poem about screaming in a 20 mile zone after andre left her for mia - i still scream in a 20 mile zone (Otractully going about 70 on the beltway) i scream until my throat hurts - you should try it. my mother recommended it to me.

6:37 pm

renfield

i made myself cry hurting for you - now all of my black eye make up is running down my face...

6:37 pm

ruffh2o

gee, ren, what will the security guard think?

6:39 pm

renfield

gee ruff - i don't know - i've got tears on my clothes as well - i better redo my make-up...oh well he thinks i kind of strange anyway...
did you get those eye drops?

6:42 pm

ruffh2o

*@&$%%@, no. I haven't left the house all day...got sidetracked trying to craft a response to a contested bid, have spent the past 10 hours straight on it. I need to leave the house, get eye drops, and pick up some special dried mushrooms for my mother before I head out tomorrow at 5 am to drive to their house.

6:43 pm

ruffh2o

I was so busy that I forgot to drive to work. OK, I didn't forget, but I was able to work longer and harder by not going into the office.
Am I strange or what?

6:45 pm

renfield

hurshy - he's the poem's web site
http://starwalk.com/dory/ twenty-mile.htm

6:45 pm

hurshy

wow, ren, thanks for the advice and the sympathy. i have been talking to my sister on the phone or i would have responded sooner. i am so touched by your sympathy.

6:46 pm

renfield

no ruff - you are not any stranger than me....or maybe we are strange..together....i get more work accomplished when i'm alone. contested bid.....no fun...

6:46 pm

Jo

I need help finding the first ho 5/12, its eluding me tonight. :-(

6:47 pm

renfield

jo do you like have the 1st ho4? make it plural

6:47 pm

hurshy

ho 5/12 panty****, but stick an i in the middle

6:47 pm

ruffh2o

take your first ho4, and make it plural

6:47 pm

hurshy

oh, oops, i gave clue for the second 5/12

6:47 pm

ruffh2o

I get so much accomplished on my own. Can't wait for next week, when everybody's on vacation.

6:48 pm

renfield

ruff - i like your icon

6:48 pm

Jo

Grrrr, that plural fish is leaving scars .... :-(
Thanks all! :-)

6:48 pm

ruffh2o

It's another one from that fractal day. So many fractals, so little time.

6:49 pm

hurshy

ren - can't access that poem web address - it's saying it's not found.

6:50 pm

ruffh2o

Actually, the contested bid is fun (as long as you're not the client). Responding to those requires more creativity than construction audits (snore).

6:50 pm

ruffh2o

hurshy - look closely, remove the space between / and twenty.

6:52 pm

renfield

ok - let me see what i can do
http://search.able2know.com /About/11184.html
can you google this one - it's the lyrics when she made it into a cd

6:52 pm

hurshy

ah, thanks for the assistance ruff.

6:53 pm

renfield

thnaks ruff - we all need a little help from our friends.

6:53 pm

hurshy

it's ok, i got it ren, after i took out the space

6:54 pm

Jo

*scared to ask for fear of obvious fish*
te 5/10?

6:55 pm

renfield

te 5/10 = te 4 below it (something you sleep in when you are camping) + insert the 2nd vowel before the last consonent

6:57 pm

Jo

hmm, don't feel as bad about that one, tho ... it was kind of obvious, huh? sigh, thanks.

6:58 pm

renfield

jo - why would you want to smack that smiley face w/ a stinky fish? 8)

6:58 pm

ruffh2o

well, I guess I'm going to go chase down those eyedrops. I'll be out of town for a few days - see you all next week, I'll sneak in to chat if I can.

6:58 pm

Jo

lol ... :-)
Thanks Renfield, I feel better now ...

6:59 pm

renfield

ok ruff - have a good trip and sneak in when you can...after tuesday - i will only be on at night...enjoy!!!

6:59 pm

JJ555

anyone have a clue for the oc 5/12?

7:00 pm

renfield

oc 5 = like 8 people singing

7:01 pm

Jo

Think of a musical group, a number of people to comprise a musical group. oc 5/12

7:01 pm

ruffh2o

oc5 is often heard in music...not a quintet (5), but 8.

7:01 pm

JJ555

thanks a lot!

7:06 pm

renfield

ok - like i have to go back to my parent's for a while - i'll see you all later. tell hurshy i'll see if she's on later tonight

7:07 pm

hurshy

oh i'm here!
bye ren! thanks again and again!

7:07 pm

hurshy

periwinkle

I really felt that! LOL , Note to self, again. Must remember to pluralize!

7:36 pm

kristin

don't feel bad peri my last word was a word that I made plural, but didn't make singular!

7:38 pm

periwinkle

kristin, I make that mistake too. I was just going to ask for help with the to6 but remembered to pluralize, Yea for me.

7:38 pm

periwinkle

But what about help with the to7

7:39 pm

kristin

1st 3 letters of the word above it plus what you wear on your feet

8:01 pm

mrkelley23

Please help with my last word. It's a co 5/12. I already have the plural of a co 4, and the singular of a co 6, but I can't seem to get the one in between.

8:02 pm

kristin

mrk double vowels x 2

8:03 pm

mrkelley23

Wonderful! Kristin, thanks so much. I only found this site a few days ago, but I"m already hooked. This is the first time I've been able to finish, though.

9:35 pm

torgone

Gosh, no. I haven't checked back in the log yet. I got really tired after telling all my goofy stories. Guess I'll go look now ...

9:43 pm

torgone

Well, I'm glad I could provide some amusement. I'm not sure what inspired me to relate all that stuff, but it's fun to relive old adventures sometimes.

9:45 pm

mab

Lotti was hoping you would pop in - you saw where she wrote what a wonderful man you are?

9:48 pm

torgone

Got her fooled, haven't I? jk ;) I wanted to stay up, but I was totally whipped by then . . I think I can stay up later tonight, because I've got FOUR DAYS OFF!!!!

9:49 pm

GreyWoulf

Good for you, tor -- after tomorrow I have three days off myself :)

9:49 pm

mab

Yey!!!

9:52 pm

GreyWoulf

Untrue. I'm always humbled by missing words that are recognizable as words!

10:05 pm

10:07 pm

If I may ask, why the BP issues?

10:35 pm

10:36 pm

GreyWoulf

GreyWoulf

JoJo -- sorry to hear that.... glad we can help you in our own special way ;)

10:41 pm

renfield

mab - did you get the ey's?

10:41 pm

JoJoFunLvg

Thx GW. Kudos to everyone!

10:41 pm

mab

Clues for the last EY5 and the EY6 please?

Also SH7?

10:42 pm

GreyWoulf

JoJo -- The main reason why I do so well is that I have a supportive wife who lets me play the game as my stress relief from the real world :)

10:43 pm

renfield

ey's = bronte novel jane ey** add the 3rd vowel before the last letter, then make it plural

10:43 pm

JoJoFunLvg

GW: Kudos to your wife for being so understanding.

10:43 pm

GreyWoulf

Add to that the fact that I regularly stay up till 3 AM after she goes to sleep and the secret of my success is not that much of a secret ;D

10:44 pm

renfield

sh 7 = the sh** heard around the world + X (roman numeral spelled out)

10:44 pm

GreyWoulf

Mab -- sh7 = sh4/5 + 10

10:45 pm

mab

Thanks tons Ren!

10:45 pm

GreyWoulf

Speaking of the wife -- who wants fresh choc chip cookies hot out of the oven?

10:46 pm

renfield

jojo - my dr jung told me to do this to keep me from working 24/7 - and i have a very supper understanding husband who is hoping i will learn to spell a little better

10:46 pm

torgone

ren, my oldest brother, my cousin, and a cousin's husband all had cars we took to the drags.

10:46 pm

renfield

y/w mab 8)
and i will take a choc chip cookie....please....

10:47 pm

GreyWoulf

(* presents plate to ren for first choice, then places it on the table for all to indulge *)

10:48 pm

renfield

west coast - right torg? the birth of the drag races? am i jealous? 8)

10:49 pm

renfield

thank your sweet wonderful wife!!!!!

10:49 pm

GreyWoulf

She says You're very welcome!

( she loves to take any excuse to bake ;) )

10:50 pm

torgone

Actually, I grew up in Ohio. We were regulars at Dragway 42 in West Salem. My cousin's husband's car was the best; a 67 Camaro built to the ti4/4.

10:52 pm

renfield

wow torg - that is fantastic - 67 camero - stock? modified? tell me more -tell me more...

10:54 pm

mab

I hate begging, but my brain is closed for repairs.

CO5/12 (I have the plural ropey one and the one making sounds like a pigeon)

SH5, one of the last ones (I have bang with a vowel on the end)

10:54 pm

GreyWoulf

Kirsten's stepdad was big in the local racing scene here in PA years ago -- HIs nickname was 'The Mongoose' and though he didn't get any recognition for it-- Johnny Rockets made a diecast version of one of his cars :D

10:56 pm

torgone

Street stock. I think he had a bored out 327 with big dual Hollys on top. It was a long time ago . .

10:56 pm

renfield

co 5/12 - do you have to pigeon w/ the er?

10:57 pm

mrkelley23

mab: that co was my last one too. If one is making sounds like a dove, what would be the word for the person he's making the sounds to? And the sh -- if you have one with a vowel on the end, try one with a consonant (double the last one)

10:57 pm

GreyWoulf

Mab - co5/12 -- an attention making call -- change the pigion call so it ends with a double vowel

10:57 pm

mab

Yes.

10:57 pm

renfield

sh 5 - do you have the sh** w/ the extra t on the end?

10:57 pm

JoJoFunLvg

Ren; don't work 24/7, not good for you or your family. Won't disclose how old I am, but after reading the chat line, I had an original 1967 GTO, 4 on the floor, with a hood mounted tac. Wish I still had it, it is worth a fortune.

10:59 pm

mab

Thank you so much everyone. Done.

10:59 pm

renfield

jojo - one of my cuz's cars is a 64 gto.... he has had it forever. i love gtos - even the new ones

10:59 pm

spatialbean

JoJoFunLvg

Applause for Mab

11:02 pm

renfield

torg - did you guys street race?

11:04 pm

torgone

My best car was a 67 Firebird ragtop. I blew up the stock straight six, and we dropped in a stock 396. When I blew that up, I couldn't afford to fix it. I miss that car.

11:05 pm

renfield

wolfie - snake and mongoose funny cars

11:05 pm

GreyWoulf

Ren -- unless there was more than one -- that's him -- he was active back in the 50's and yeah, a hot wheels --- people have told him that he should sue for money, but he is satisfied by being honoured in such a fadshion :)

11:07 pm

torgone

ren - We lived in a farm house on a state route about a mile from an Ohio Highway Patrol station. We would go past the cop shop and race back, down the divided highway.

11:07 pm

renfield

i am honored to know someone who knows the creator of the mongoose - i've seen the snake and mongoose funny cars.....tell him hey hey for me !

11:09 pm

GreyWoulf

Ren -- I'll be seeing him tomorrow, so I will confirm to make sure I am not mistaken -- let you know tomorrow evening :)

11:13 pm

renfield

torg - so what finally happened to you fb? personally i've had 3 mustangs 1 65 and 2 68's all were 289's stock

11:17 pm

torgone

I had to sell it for a song. I was poor and broke at the time. Last I heard, the guy was just letting it rust away in his yard. Pity.

11:18 pm

torgone

The 289 was an awesome mill (my Dad helped build 'em) My Bro had a 64 or 65 Mustang with a 289. Sweet ride.

11:18 pm

renfield

torg - that is sad - i still see on of my mustangs...it went to a good home....

11:21 pm

renfield

the 289's were great for stop lite to stop lite

11:21 pm

GreyWoulf

So is there anyone out there who wants/needs any clues?

11:24 pm

JoJoFunLvg

GW: Need lots of help, but not going to complete this game. Thx tho

11:24 pm

renfield

11:24 pm

JoJoFunLvg

Ren: I am on the West Coast, I am still here, why?

11:25 pm

renfield

jojo - there you were - 8)

11:25 pm

renfield

wondered how you were doing - 8)

11:25 pm

torgone

Jojo - fellow West coaster! It's early yet..

11:26 pm

renfield

where abouts jojo? ca?

11:27 pm

JoJoFunLvg

Ren: I don't chat very often, so what do you mean that I was -8? Sorry, not stupid, just not hooked into all the lingo yet.

11:28 pm

JoJoFunLvg

Ren: No Seattle area.

11:28 pm

torgone

11:29 pm

renfield

11:30 pm

JoJoFunLvg

Tor: Got only 32 minutes, and I got on probably an hour ago, NOT a lot of time, and if I keep chatting, I won't do squat, which is not really an important thing in my life, but I am from the Seattle area, You?

11:31 pm

JoJoFunLvg

Thx Ren, got it now.

11:31 pm

renfield

torg is giving you a lot of faces people make at one another - since this is so falt, balck and white - we need to show expressions in some way - this is a very expressive bunch - someone else can probably explain it better - i'm kind of an aire head at times

11:33 pm

GreyWoulf

JoJo -- chatting has proven to be the bane of my finishing on more than one occasion --- if the log gets too distracting you can always turn it off, just don't forget to turn it back on again ;) (that's a wink, btw (by the way))

11:34 pm

renfield

wolfie - that sounds good to me - i still have my hot wheels!!!!

11:34 pm

JoJoFunLvg

GW: Actually, I enjoy chatting, probably more than playing babble. Whoa, I will be beat up for that remark.

11:35 pm

torgone

San Diego, the opposite end of the coast. I have stopped worrying about my stats. I occasionally finish one, but not much anymore since I can't Babble at work. I am more interested in the chat and hanging out with the people I like. This game can be played however you want.

11:36 pm

JoJoFunLvg

Thx Tor, San Diego. Always nice to talk with people.

11:37 pm

renfield

torg - we do look like twins.....

11:37 pm

torgone

I like Seattle. Are you sleepless?

11:38 pm

JoJoFunLvg

Tor: Sometimes
