Babble: Archived Puzzle for Tuesday, January 17, 2006

12:00 am

sprite

morning all!

12:00 am

cybernan

Hello again

12:01 am

harpjane

HEllo!

12:01 am

mrpresident

Hello all! looks like a C grid!

12:01 am

cybernan

We've had heavy wet snow all day here -- power lines coming down, etc. If I disappear, it's because we've lost power again.

12:03 am

CJ162003

hi all

12:04 am

sprite

Poor cybernan... :(
You need a laptop, so a powerdown will not affect your babbling :)

12:04 am

GreyWoulf

Hi sprite! It figures--- you are here bright and early and I have to go rub Kirsten's back -- I'll be back in about 10-15 mins -- (*HUG*)

12:04 am

cybernan

r 7/32

12:04 am

harpjane

146 words, it says

12:05 am

chic

*sigh* still had 9 to go... oh well, on to the next one...

12:05 am

sprite

*big hug back*
The rubbing is more important than any babbling can ever be, Woulf. Enjoy ;)

12:08 am

sprite

R7/32

12:08 am

sprite

C7/36

12:17 am

sprite

C7/40

12:17 am

cybernan

Don't I wish though, Sprite

12:18 am

sprite

And M7/36.
All very common words :)
I only have a laptop, no real pc.

12:18 am

cybernan

First run through yielded only 56 words -- this is going to be tough!

12:19 am

sprite

Hit 70 just a few moments ago. I agree!

12:19 am

mrpresident

I have to tell you all... this is the best chat place I have ever visited... everyone is great!!
Last night, Jac was in full form... she made me laugh so hard I was crying!!... I love coming here for babble and blah blah...

12:20 am

GreyWoulf

I'm back!

C-nan -- I went and tried Cubis 2 -- it's fun, the time limit on each board is long enough to not feel restrictive

12:20 am

sprite

mrP, you are totally, completely and utterly right :D

12:21 am

GreyWoulf

mrp -- when I googled I came up with bouncy baby -- is that yours?

12:21 am

mrpresident

grey... that is mine!! Like it??

12:21 am

Hugabugs

Good day to everyone!

12:21 am

sprite

Woulf, when you said 'bouncing baby' I thought... ;)
But still counting down, I presume.

12:22 am

sprite

Hugs, hi!

12:22 am

GreyWoulf

mrp -- looks nice -- only took a quick peek though -- will definitely take a closer look when I have more time! :)

12:22 am

sprite

N7/36 - 8/50

12:23 am

mrpresident

oh Sprite! the babble song competition was hysterical!!

12:23 am

sprite

What song was decided upon in the end?

12:23 am

sprite

Another C7/40

12:23 am

GreyWoulf

(*HUGS*) for Hugs :D

(I love saying that! ;) )

That's right, sprite -- all is well and according to plan, so far :)

12:24 am

GreyWoulf

What song competition?

12:25 am

mrpresident

I think that the archives is getting the
'babble babble' (my one!!) sung to 'rebel rebel'

I am too embarassed to repeat it!

12:25 am

sprite

The babble parody song competition.
Good to hear all is going well! Wish Kirsten good luck for the last stretch :)

12:26 am

GreyWoulf

Thanks sprite, I will -- she is soooo looking forward to having energy again, that it makes the anticipation all the worse :)

12:26 am

mrpresident

Jacula wants to hold a babble parody song competition so I think she is doing something on bab anon... look out for it... should be a scream!! :)

12:27 am

sprite

*quoting mrP in the babble competition*

babble babble, your grid is a mess
babble babble, you have no regrets
babble babble, your words are so sad
hot dog babble, that fart word is bad!!

12:28 am

GreyWoulf

Babble filks -- what will we come up with next?!

12:28 am

mrpresident

oh Sprite!! ROFLMAO!!

12:28 am

sprite

Woulf, I know the feeling. My thoughts go with her (and you), with my best wishes.

12:29 am

Hugabugs

Hi Sprite and GW *hugs*

So far I can't see any of those 7's or 8's....

*stares intently at grid*

12:29 am

GreyWoulf

I only have the M7 so far myself :)

12:37 am

sprite

The N-biggies are not nice, a kind of tumor(s).
I have rhyming C7 and R7.
And a C7 that was a popular way to pass your time in the middle ages, with the blessing of the church.
The other C7 is the same, except for the last letter.

12:37 am

CJ162003

ok i'm doing very bad on this grid

12:40 am

GreyWoulf

Thanks sprite -- I had just found the rhyming R and C -- but not the other C's -- still need to noodle the N's :)

12:40 am

sprite

No fish so far, but I found an interesting E4/8- 5/18 : fresh-water tortoise(s).

12:41 am

sprite

Woulf: for the Ns think of getting on one's nerves ;)

12:42 am

Hugabugs

Got the N's with that one Sprite... thx

12:43 am

sprite

CJ: just keep on looking, the words will jump out of the grid to you when you least expect them to ;)

12:44 am

CJ162003

ty sprite- i printed out the grid trying to find words

12:45 am

Hugabugs

Oh... got the M7 now... :o)

12:46 am

sprite

Actually, I am surprised, in every grid, that after getting completely stuck at some point, somehow some hidden corner of the grid opens up and supply me with another load of words. Teaches me to never despair, just to go on trying until I succeed, and not just with babble ;)

12:46 am

cybernan

Did you notice that in almost every other puzzle medical prefixes are accepted as words -- but not in this one!

12:47 am

sprite

cybernan, the ways of the enable dictionary are completely obscure to me :D

12:47 am

GreyWoulf

The grid also helps to remind me that it is OK to ask others for help -- even with the simple stuff :)

12:48 am

CJ162003

printing the grid is helping some

12:49 am

sprite

So true, Woulf! We tend to be so hard on ourselves, only allowing ourselves to ask for help when the problems are running out of hand, if even then. And all is so much better if we reach out earlier. Especially with the simple stuff, that sometimes is too obvious to be noticed.

12:49 am

cybernan

thanks, Sprite -- got the n's

12:49 am

GreyWoulf

Who would've thought that such a simple game could have such deep meaning attributed to it?

12:51 am

sprite

WTG nan!
Woulf, I think every game has that potential, if you give it a chance. Perhaps this babble site helps bring out that potential, because of the openness of the chatters about how they experience the playing. Could be that being not competitive has something to do with that, I think.

12:52 am

CJ162003

i found the r7 and c7 that rhyme

12:54 am

sprite

Great going, CJ! The church-approved C7 has to do with forcing others to accept the christian belief system, at knife's point if need be.

12:55 am

CJ162003

ty sprite- its like the light bulb just lit up

12:55 am

sprite

I always love that feeling :)

12:57 am

CJ162003

now maybe i'll find the n's

12:58 am

mrpresident

three double faults in a row!!! Hewitt deserves to lose!

1:02 am

mrpresident

... and he dug himself out!!

1:03 am

sprite

I just cannot count MY double faults.
I have been 'oopsed' about a million times already. Today.

1:04 am

GreyWoulf

Finallly! I have the N's as well :)

The other thing I have learned from the grid ---- How to decipher a text that has been through at least two spin cycles! ;D

1:04 am

cybernan

Finally -- the c's too!

1:08 am

cybernan

I keep wanting to type in carbs!

1:09 am

CJ162003

i want to keep typing nurse

1:09 am

mrpresident

I keep wanting to eat carbs!!

1:10 am

Blaze

Hail and hello... to all.... my interveiw was great and I got the position.... I start late in February as a Facilitato/Presenter..... a fantastic day...

1:11 am

CJ162003

wtg Blaze

1:11 am

GreyWoulf

Huzzah for you, Blaze!!!!!!!

1:12 am

Blaze

thank you thank you all

1:12 am

cybernan

You had to bring that up Pres -- now you've got me thinking about chocolate! and pie! and sticky toffee pudding!

1:12 am

mrpresident

congrats Blaze!!

1:12 am

cybernan

Great news! -- Congratulations, Blaze.

1:13 am

mrpresident

mmm.... pie, and chips, and rice pudding, and pasta marinara....

1:14 am

CJ162003

now you have me wanting pasta and pizza

1:14 am

mrpresident

... yeah... in the same bowl!!

1:15 am

Hugabugs

Well done Blaze, congrats! :o)

1:15 am

CJ162003

its too bad i'm stuck at work

1:19 am

cybernan

oh yes -- chips -- big salty ones!

1:19 am

Blaze

I am very excited about this new venture.....I will be presenting information on Families raising Child relatives my favorite subject....

1:21 am

Babbler

congratulations, Blaze!

hi all : )

1:21 am

sprite

Blaze, congratulations! Well done and good luck! (((Blaze)))

1:21 am

CJ162003

hi babbler

1:22 am

mrpresident

... chips with heaps of vinegar!

1:22 am

GreyWoulf

(((***Babbler***)))

Haven't seen you in awhile! Missed you! ;)

1:23 am

sprite

Hi Babbler! Enjoy the grid, this is a nice one. Well... perhaps except for the Cs, some of them were pretty obscure to me.
It's 146 words / 4.65 average length / 1673 points today. Good hunting to all of you and thanks again for the great company :)

1:23 am

Babbler

Hi GW!! I've missed you too! I logged on the other day and just missed you by minutes! (((hugs))) how are things?

1:24 am

mrpresident

bab... can we have aussie theme day for 26th Jan please!!

1:24 am

Babbler

congrats, Sprite! and hi! :D

1:24 am

Babbler

mrpresident.... you haven't checked my handbag today, have you? ; )

1:25 am

Babbler

(Fmitch told me) :D

1:25 am

mrpresident

doing it now (anticipation!!)

1:25 am

GreyWoulf

Babbler -- Pretty good, though gettin down to the wire -- Baby is due on Feb 3 :)

Mama tried to start an impromptu Baby Shower icon display earlier, but not enough people were around for it to go too far

1:25 am

mrpresident

oh you good sport! what a champ!! Thanks matey!!

1:26 am

Babbler

I knew it was imminent, GW. We don't have baby showers in the UK. At what point do we do them, and what's involved?

1:26 am

Babbler

my pleasure, mrp ! :D

1:26 am

cybernan

CJ -- did you know that Costco as really thin crust pizzas called Margharitas (green box) that taste good and aren't too bad on the carbs?

1:27 am

sprite

Don't they usually take place AFTER the baby is born?

1:28 am

Hugabugs

GW - Feb 3rd is my oldest daughter's b-day. She was due on the 4th.

1:28 am

mrpresident

sprite... it is like a bridal shower... before the big day!

1:28 am

CJ162003

cybernan... ty for the pizza tip..... thankfully i'm a naturally thin person..in fact i'm trying to gain about 15 lbs

1:29 am

Hugabugs

mrp - Most of our baby showers here in Canada, at least in Manitoba, are held AFTER the baby is born.

1:29 am

Babbler

..... we don't have bridal showers either.... : / what happens then?

1:29 am

GreyWoulf

I think the timing is up to whoever wants to organise the shower -- I have seen them before to help the new parents stock up on needed supplies and accessories -- and I have seen them after to fill in the missing supplies -- also after you know the sex of the baby so you can get the right clothes ;)

1:30 am

Babbler

ahaaa, so showers are presents?

1:30 am

mrpresident

the bride gets really plastered... gets a stripper... gets a belly button ring.... and wakes up in the morning with one eyebrow shaved off!!

1:31 am

CJ162003

babbler... a shower of any type is like a party where you give gifts and play silly game, time to celebrate

1:31 am

Babbler

lol mrp!! we call them Hen Nights over here! :D:D:D

1:31 am

sprite

CJ: you can have mine :)
I have some lbs to spare :D

1:31 am

Hugabugs

We call those Stagettes here

1:32 am

GreyWoulf

Babbler -- a baby or bridal shower is an excuse to get together and throw a party with the theme being to celebrate the imminent event (birth or wedding) -- the idea is that the guest of honor will be 'shower'ed with gifts to wish luck and demonstrate love :)

1:32 am

Babbler

CJ, I picked up a few extra lbs over Christmas. Happy to share!! :D

1:32 am

CJ162003

lol sprite i will take them if i could

1:32 am

mrpresident

we have a combined hens night/ bridal shower... lots of fun and presents!!

1:32 am

GreyWoulf

Cj -- why the need to gain weight?

1:33 am

Babbler

well, if we have a baby shower for you on 1st Feb, would that be ok, GW?

1:34 am

sprite

Woulf, did I mention my daughter is born on Feb 3th?

1:34 am

CJ162003

i'm 5'7 and about 105 lbs.... but i've been like this for 7 years.. i just think i would look better and feel healthier maybe

1:34 am

GreyWoulf

Sounds good to me, Babbler!

We already know that it's a boy so let's have some fun!!!!

1:35 am

Hugabugs

Sprite - so is mine! :o)

1:35 am

Blaze

hugs you have mail

1:35 am

Babbler

If you're naturally slender, CJ, I wouldn't worry. : )

1:35 am

Blaze

Mine is Feb 23rd

1:36 am

GreyWoulf

sprite -- I think you may have, but I had forgotten -- so Sebastian will have some great company for his birthday celebration, with both daughters :)

1:36 am

mrpresident

my daughter is feb 24th

1:36 am

sprite

This is getting weird :D
If your son behaves, we will have 3 babble kids with the same birthday. What would be the odds in such a relatively small community??

1:37 am

GreyWoulf

* sprites and Hugs for those who got lost ;D

1:37 am

Babbler

GW - done. : )

1:38 am

Babbler

Sebastian?? What a fantastic name! Great choice! :D

1:38 am

cybernan

Ooh, CJ -- I have 15 pounds to spare!

1:38 am

Blaze

I have multiples of 15 pounds to spare....

1:38 am

CJ162003

cybernan send them my way

1:39 am

GreyWoulf

CJ -- have you actually consulted with a doctor before trying to add the weight? Babbler is right, natural tendency does play a big part :)

1:40 am

Blaze

cj if you have been at the same weight for 7 years then that must be your natural body weight... do you feel good are you active ???

1:41 am

cybernan

For 6 letter words, I have the following:
ce, cu, de, duX2, or, ra, ru, sc, un

Can any of you tell me what I'm missing?

1:41 am

CJ162003

my doctors encourage me gain weight i have never been heavier than 110 lbs, my father is a naturally thin person so i don't think that i will get to be 120 lbs unless i have a baby

1:43 am

GreyWoulf

My last word on the topic, CJ, before I look like I am preaching --- What ever you do, please be sure to be healthy about your food choices, ok? :)
We all care about you (*hug*)

1:43 am

Babbler

Doctors don't always get it right, CJ.

1:43 am

CJ162003

Blaze i love going to the gym and love running but i don't get to do it much anymore... i'm very busy with work and college... i want to play softball this year.. maybe it will happen

1:43 am

Babbler

me too, last word. : ) ((hugs))

1:44 am

mrpresident

CJ - I am 6 foot and 130 pounds... can't gain anything either!
But I have to try and try to stay healthy!

1:44 am

sprite

You are missing ca, another ce, co, do, ma.

1:45 am

CJ162003

GW before i graduated H/S i was going to join the military.. they would not take me because i couldn't gain the weight...

1:45 am

Babbler

CJ, mrpresident, what happens if you stop trying to gain weight?

1:45 am

cybernan

Not to worry CJ -- at your age I was 15 pounds underweight too -- then I hit 35 and it's been the battle of the bulge ever since!

1:46 am

mrpresident

at my age, and with two small children to chase, I get sick and lie down!!

1:46 am

cybernan

CJ -- when I graduated, I was 5'8 and weighed 107 pounds.

1:47 am

GreyWoulf

Then by all means, Good luck in your endeavour, CJ -- Hopefully you will be able to achieve both goals -- my former housemate was denied the ablility to serve though she wanted to and is very bitter these days as a result -- I will send positive mojo your way to help if you like :)

1:47 am

cybernan

Thanks, Sprite

1:48 am

Babbler

hmmm.... *makes mrp a peanut butter and jam sandwich*
; )

1:48 am

mrpresident

bab... in the same sandwich??

1:48 am

Babbler

*makes one for CJ too* : )

1:48 am

Blaze

I say thin or not.... just enjoy life and Live it to the fullest.....

1:49 am

CJ162003

babbler i have to eat at least 2 meals and 4 snacks a day... i have hypoglycemia .... so eating is a have to

1:49 am

Babbler

oh mrp!! haven't you tried it?? it's yummy scrummy!! I like brown bread, crunchy peanut butter, and blackcurrant jam. MMmmmmm!! :D

1:50 am

Babbler

CJ, that sounds about right. Anything less and you'd faint.

1:50 am

mrpresident

... I've been deprived!!! I am going to try one!!

1:50 am

CJ162003

bab.... blackcurrant jam???

1:51 am

Babbler

oh CJ! yes, blackcurrant. It's divine!! My favourite jam. (but I only have strawberry jam if I'm having a cream tea).

1:51 am

Babbler

lol mrp!! wave bye bye to 105lbs! lol! : )

1:51 am

CJ162003

my fav. snack is peanut butter and red apples

1:52 am

Babbler

CJ, I really like peanut butter and kiwi fruit. On rice cakes.... (lol!) yes, I am a bit adventurous...

1:52 am

Blaze

peanut butter and green apples on a bagel is good too

1:53 am

CJ162003

that sounds intersting bab

1:53 am

mrpresident

I love vegemite, avocado and cheese melt!

1:53 am

Babbler

yummmy..... not tried it with a bagel before..... ! :D

1:54 am

Babbler

oh mrp! sounds gorgeous! we call vegemite 'marmite' over here. I love it!

CJ - the juicy kiwi fruit goes really well with peanut butter, I think. : )

when we move to the house i won't get that much sleep as by the time we've finished working and then esating it will be late and then i;ll have to be up at 6.30am to get to work on time. AAGGHH. You should put a boring film on, that will send you to sleep.

2:53 am

Babbler

eeek, Bubbles, I'm not sure I like the sound of that! I know, you'll have to find a fabby new job like Bobsta's, but closer to home. :/

2:54 am

Bubbles

Missy- I don't know what the word above it is. I have the other cu7, but it ends with a consonant.

5:20 am

MissyMe

sorry...that was a cr word

5:20 am

SunnFlower

cu7 is a plural fish that rhymes with your ru6 and 7 combo

7:40 am

mrpresident

Jac... take the credit card and beat it into submission! Retail therapy is a blessing!

7:40 am

Jacula

MrPres - is it the one you put in BabAnon. You just beat me to it, if so. Someone e-mailed me that poem the other day.

7:40 am

Jera

I'm home with Gwyd today... he was up most of last night with coughing & fever... poor baby, it's really not fair...

7:40 am

mrpresident

jac, that's the one! I laughed so much...!

7:41 am

Jacula

Oh, by the way. Had a reply back from Dr_God about the parody song for Babble. He says he's no preference for what song we do, free choice. I'll put a thread in BabAnon for people to put their ideas and attempt in.

7:41 am

mrpresident

jac.... excellent!

7:42 am

Jacula

Jera - Hope Gwyd's better soon.x

MrPres - It's P's birthday pressie I'm off to get. Oh, and probably some more 'hairy' wool for scarf knitting.

7:43 am

mrpresident

I love hairy wool scarfs... my kids go mad for them!!

7:44 am

Jera

Are those the really soft & fuzzy ones? Sprite is working on one... I plan to steal it as soon as she's finished!

7:53 am

mrpresident

7:54 am

Jen

NOt me, not yet at least. My knitting is a lot like my quilting... straight lines only! :)

7:54 am

Jacula

Mr.Pres - I should have a pattern for mittens somewhere. I'll post it to you via ez-boards message box if I find one.

7:55 am

mrpresident

Jen, I would pay sooooo much for a quilt!! Please quote me and I will give you my email! (everyone here is witness to this)

7:55 am

Jacula

Think I'm going to leave it at 86 words found for now. I'll be coming home in the dark if I don't go out soon. TTFN all.x

7:55 am

Oooh I love peacock/iridescent... the one Sprite has is more of a raspberry but sooooooooo soft!

mrpresident

thank you jac!! You are the best mum in the world!!

7:56 am

Jera

{{{Jen!}}} How are you today?

7:56 am

7:57 am

9:00 am

Atalante

I bet - its much nicer having a cool cover rather than a vastly expensive apple one! and TY - I will do!

9:02 am

Jen

Mia, do you knit those like you would knit a cap? I actually did manage to knit a cap for my son.

9:03 am

miametro

i knit hats on straight needles and then seam them, so yeah, same process for the cover :) they're really, really easy. just a rectangle, folded in half and seamed.

9:04 am

Jen

Okay, cool! That's how my Grandma taught me to knit the cap... on straight needles. I'm not ready for the knitting in the round!

Blech! I used to think re words were the worst, but du is definitely running neck and neck!

9:43 am

Bugzy

FMitch - I agree (though I just started)! I thought it was just me being slow today....

9:45 am

FMitch

No Bugsy it's not just you :)

Jen watch out for the cu's and su's too, oh and don't forget the u's all be it there are only 5 of them!!!!

9:47 am

Bugzy

At least the y's were relatively easy... :)

9:49 am

FMitch

True, true.

9:50 am

U's were pretty easy for me, but not looking forward to any of the C's!

9:51 am

Atalante: Can I please have a clue for the ca6/21
Thank you!!

9:55 am

harpjane

Hello.

9:55 am

Jen

Morning harpjane!

9:55 am

Bugzy

Hi Harpjane :)
Is the theme fairy tales today, I'm guessing?

9:56 am

Atalante

CA6/21 - it rhymes with the thing you store beer in!

9:56 am

lshult

ca6= A partially partitioned nook in or near the stacks in a library, used for private study.

9:56 am

harpjane

Fairy tales. Mine's the harp from Jack and the Beanstalk.

9:57 am

lshult

I'm stuck on ce6/24 (2nd one) & ar5/14?

9:57 am

Jen

Yup, fairy tales today. While I know The Princess Bride isn't a classic tale, I think it's a wonderful story! :)

10:00 am

Bugzy

Oh (%*$! I'm a librarian. I should have seen ca6/21!!
Jen- I love the Princess Bride. "My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die" :)
Off to find a fairy tale - back in a few :)

10:00 am

Atalante

*sigh* I've got rid of Darthy - got a fairy tale pic too now :)

10:01 am

lshult

not a fan of Princes bride, but I did meet Mandy Ptempkin last year!!

10:01 am

Atalante

ca6/21 was the first word I saw - habits from PhD days are obviously too engrained!

10:03 am

Jen

It's one of my favorite movies and the book is even better! Especially when one pictures Cary Elwes! ;)

10:04 am

just getting started babbling, im afraid!

:X

10:11 am

Atalante

had a better icon idea. david bowie in tight trousers. very fairy tale-y :)

10:13 am

mab

Evanadine I love your icon! Too bad her feet are cropped out. Sleeping Beauty, I assume. I picked out some ballet sleeping beauties too.

Ishult, you met Mandy Ptempkin? He's so gorgeous. Sometimes I like him a lot, and sometimes I think 'schmaltz.' It depends on what he's doing I guess.

10:14 am

gramma

Oh my goodness! I am waaaaay beyond stuck. I walked away for awhile hoping my babble eyes would return; but, to no avail. This could be a long day:{

10:15 am

EvaNadine

her feet actually are in there, its just very hard to see with the icon being so small...
and its clara, from the nutcracker -- my favorite fairy tale of all time!

10:15 am

lshult

Evanadine - he was staying on my Kibbutz for a couple of dayd, taking part in a bike ride. The longest conversation I had with him was when I pointed out the way to the bathroom!!

10:33 am

10:34 am

Uneaixoise

Jac, roflmao! Still a little too early for that yet. :)

10:52 am

EvaNadine

gin tastes like chritsmas trees...heh

10:52 am

mab

eva!!! It does!

10:53 am

I gotta agree with you EvaN... the only thing gin is good for is soaking olives.

Well, then I am out of here. Have a great rest of the day everyone! :)

10:53 am

That'll be the juniper berries.:-)

10:53 am

Have you guys eaten christmas trees? How do you know?

10:54 am

EvaNadine

heh, fmitch...good point!
gin TASTES like christmas trees SMELL.
:D

10:54 am

mab

It tastes the way pine trees smell - at least that's my line of reasoning.

10:55 am

Jacula

Nice ice-cold with tonic and a slice of lemon though.

10:56 am

FMitch

Gin and tonic is a summer smell to me as that is the only time I drink it. Funny how smells/taste and music can be so evocative.

10:56 am

Jacula

Indeed, yes, FMitch.

10:56 am

Jacula

2 summers ago, I made gin and tonic gelees, served on fresh slice of lime. Had to make them several times since. Even people who don't care for gin seem to love them.

11:00 am

EvaNadine

any hints for the 2 Ns in the corner?

11:01 am

FMitch

gramma, thats sounds great - perhaps you could post the how to do on BabAnon?

11:02 am

You can find the recipe in Bon Apetit. There's also an agave watermelon, that is amazing.

By the time I finish typing a mesage ..others have allready responded. I'm a little slow w/ this computer stuff.

11:08 am

Jacula

Gramma - I'm searching the Bon Appetit database. Do you have the exact title of the recipe?

11:11 am

gramma

I thought it was gin and tonic gelees. God only knows the way my mind works. It was a summer issue. Margarita watermelon was the other name, I hope

11:13 am

Jacula

Gramma - Thanks. Can't seem to find it at the moment. Never mind, I'm sure I can put a recipe together. Would be nice if you can help out with a list of ingrients. Don't worry if you can't.

3:34 pm

Obscurity, it let me use the word "rads."

3:42 pm

MissyMe

JW...just saw it on my list! Good thing you saw that. Obscurity...you either put it in and didn't see its on your list, or the list hasn't updated properly, (refresh the page to make it show up), or you may have mispelled it while typing it in

3:42 pm

LUCKY

Oke Missy I thought so already but now I know...
about the icons .....lets cross that "bridge" when we get there

3:44 pm

3:48 pm

obscurity

ok then, what about MEDS

3:48 pm

MissyMe

Hello Eva :)

Well, that painting is gorgeous, Lucky!

3:49 pm

EvaNadine

meds is a slang abbreviation for medicines...while the babble rules are shaky, they generally dont accept abbreviations or slang

3:49 pm

MissyMe

Meds is an abbreviation, I think that's the reason why it's not an acceptable word

3:49 pm

sandr

could i please have a clue for the er (have the one meaning to make mistakes) thanks

3:50 pm

EvaNadine

3:51 pm

LUCKY

HENK HELMANTEL you may look him up online he has his own site but I do same thing ... will refresh with one of my own later so you may see oke?

3:51 pm

MissyMe

3:54 pm

MissyMe

4:05 pm

MissyMe

thank you Babbler :)

4:06 pm

Babbler

what does everyone think of Full Evening Dress, for a theme?

4:06 pm

MissyMe

That's a good idea

4:07 pm

MissyMe

Maybe like the Black & White Balls that organizations host. :)

4:08 pm

hurshy

have we done hats yet?

4:08 pm

Babbler

hi hurshy : ) No! I don't think we have!! What does everyone think of Hats as a theme?

4:09 pm

hurshy

:) hi babbler :)

4:09 pm

hurshy

i like the evening dress one too.

4:09 pm

Babbler

MIssy, I like Black & White Ball as a theme. Is there a suitable date this year we can save it for?

4:10 pm

MissyMe

Be nice to save it for Easter to do "Easter Bonnet" theme :)

4:10 pm

Babbler

I mean a special occasion?

4:11 pm

MissyMe

that easter bonnet theme was for the hats. For the Black and White I think it would be great for spring

4:11 pm

smaller

Hurshy...

is that Q?

4:12 pm

MissyMe

hmmm, special occasion...how about election day?

4:12 pm

hurshy

smaller - if you haven't refreshed lately, then yes. he was my super villain from a few days ago.

4:12 pm

MissyMe

Election day won't work for everyone, though, we international...just remembered that lol

4:13 pm

hurshy

today's is picard as robin hood (courtesy of Q, of course ;)

4:13 pm

Babbler

oooh! when's election day? is that american elections? is it a biggie?

4:13 pm

hurshy

what day was "the thomas crown affair" released - it featured a notable black and white ball...

4:13 pm

hurshy

that's not hugely special but it's something

4:14 pm

MissyMe

it was released in 1968

4:14 pm

EvaNadine

we dont have another presidential election til 2008

4:14 pm

hurshy

i meant the new one with pierce brosnan :)

4:15 pm

MissyMe

How about the ball saved for Dr. God's birthday?

4:15 pm

hurshy

hey we should have a history theme day sometime. be educational and all.

4:15 pm

Babbler

Right, I see in my diary you have President's Day on Feb 20. What shall we do? I think we can ALL participate!! : )

4:15 pm

hurshy

didn't Dr_G's birthday just pass? or did we just honor him for fun?

4:16 pm

Babbler

Missy - fantastic idea!!! when's Dr God's birthday?

4:16 pm

hurshy

lol - pick your favorite president or prime minister on feb 20

4:16 pm

Babbler

we honoured him for fun (unless he had a birthday while I was away??)

4:16 pm

MissyMe

Hurshy I must not have been here when it did. I don't know the date

4:17 pm

snowyowl

Hello All - the back & white ball sounds great! Also the Easter bonnets. How about an Easter bonnet Parade? Easter sunday is 16th April here. Hows about the end of March for the ball? Clocks go forward somewhere near the end of March I think

4:17 pm

hurshy

we gotta find out his bday then

4:17 pm

Babbler

h snowy! :)

4:17 pm

MissyMe

Hello Snowy :)

4:18 pm

Niamh

hello all!

4:18 pm

snowyowl

Hi Niamh!

4:18 pm

MissyMe

Hello Niamh :)

4:19 pm

Babbler

hi NIamh : )

I've asked Dr G when his birthday is.

4:19 pm

MissyMe

Niamh You are my favorite little elf. Dopey is so cute and sweet. :)

4:19 pm

Niamh

so we're having a ball for Dr. God but we need to know his birthday... am I all caught up on the chat?

4:20 pm

MissyMe

Niamh That's what's missing...finding the date.

4:20 pm

Niamh

oh thank you, I really like me (him) too!

4:20 pm

Babbler

Snowy, I was thinking for Easter, we could keep it general, which gives it a wider scope, eg for easter eggs, etc. Are maypoles associated with easter? (memory's getting hazy now!) Also, do we do Easter on the sunday? What shall we do for Good Friday and EAster Monday?

4:21 pm

ExWren

Somebody mentioned evening dress, so I am dressed ready for tomorrow!

4:21 pm

Niamh

good friday is all about food for me... can we be our favorite desserts?

4:22 pm

Babbler

hi Ex Wren : )

we were throwing ideas around for future themes. Tomorrow's is Bridges! : )

4:22 pm

Babbler

I thought Good Friday was about fish? Am I wrong?

4:23 pm

Babbler

omg!! FISH!!! Why haven't we thought of that before?????

4:23 pm

MissyMe

It really is hard to celebrate religious holidays because we're all so diverse, (and wonderfully so!), in our beliefs

4:23 pm

hurshy

lol

4:23 pm

Niamh

I don't know, I've just always had a "good" friday... that includes lots of "good" food.

4:24 pm

hurshy

good friday could be fish for the christians but just plain haddocks of obviousness for everyone else though :)

4:24 pm

MissyMe

For Catholics Fridays used to be a day when you were restricted to only eating fish but a pope years ago stopped that practice

4:25 pm

snowyowl

We do Easter on the Sunday Babbler - Good Friday is for the day of the crucifixion so not a great cause for celebration! No meat eaten on Good Friday, therefore the fish. Sunday is the resurrection day - therefore the celebration!

4:27 pm

Babbler

ahaa, thanks Snowy, it all makes sense now. So Fish for Good Friday, fish for the christians, and other fish for others.

And on Easter Sunday, ooooh!! I know!! Let's have a parade!! (How will we do that?)

And Easter Monday, errr.... need help now..

4:27 pm

snowyowl

The Easter bonnet parade could be for everyone tho'! A party should be inclusive don't you think -that way we have the fun and bypass the religious. We are such a diverse lot it would be a pity to make anyone feel excluded

4:27 pm

Babbler

hear hear, snowy!! exactomundo!!! :D:D:D

4:28 pm

MissyMe

Have you done any astronomical themes, like planets, stars, icons of galaxies?

4:28 pm

snowyowl

Easter Monday could be favourite leisure activties - perversions excluded tho' lol

4:28 pm

Babbler

I think there's one scheduled, Missy.

4:28 pm

Schroeder

Hi everyone!!

4:29 pm

Babbler

Is Easter Monday about leisure, snowy? And when do we do maypoles and morris dancing??

4:29 pm

MissyMe

Hello Schroeder :)

4:29 pm

snowyowl

Hi Schroeder

4:29 pm

Niamh

hello Schroeder :)

4:29 pm

Babbler

hi Schroeder : )

4:29 pm

snowyowl

May Day is for Maypole dancing Babbler LOL MAY pole!

4:29 pm

hurshy

well, or easter could be sort of a mix - it could be religious for those who want, non-religious (bunnies, etc) for those who don't

4:30 pm

cybernan

Been reading the log -- maypoles are for May Day (May 1) -- think it's rooted way back in some pagan rites of one of the ancient tribes in England.

4:30 pm

MissyMe

Then a theme dedicated to a famous invention...any kind?

4:30 pm

Babbler

yay! I love maypole dancing! :D

4:30 pm

hurshy

and btw, i think the no-meat-but-fish on fridays rule was established to help out the fish industry, originally :)

4:30 pm

cybernan

Invention works for me -- missy -- diverse enough that there should be some variety.

4:30 pm

Babbler

that's what I was thinking too, hurshy, then everyone can play, regardless of religion or background. : )

4:30 pm

snowyowl

Oh Missy - thats a great one!

4:31 pm

hurshy

but we should still get a hat day in there somewhere

4:31 pm

Babbler

Missy, that's obvious - the computer!!! How else would we have met each other???

4:31 pm

MissyMe

cyber I'm already thinking about the littlest inventions in our lives that mean so much to us and are so useful

4:31 pm

cybernan

Agree with Hurshy's comments on Easter

4:31 pm

Babbler

absolutely, hurshy, a Hat day. (I wear a lot of hats, don't you fret!) ; )

4:32 pm

hurshy

just inventions would be more fun than specifically computers - then someone could do the cotton gin :)

4:32 pm

Babbler

good thinking, hurshy! :)

what's a cotton gin?

4:33 pm

cybernan

What about birthday symbols -- stones, flowers or zodiac - representing our birthdays?

4:34 pm

MissyMe

Babbler...yes the computer is primo...but I was thinking about things like saftey pins, paper clips, pens, pencils, airplanes, printing press...and, of course, the greatest invention of all time....DUCT TAPE!

4:34 pm

hurshy

lol, something that processes cotton, i don't think it's in use anymore, but eli whitney invented it and every american kid learns about it in school (it was also mentioned in a friends episode).

4:34 pm

Babbler

how many Mother's Days are we going to have this year? The UK date is different to the US/Aus date. (UK 26 March, US/Aus 14 May)

4:35 pm

Babbler

cyber, we've got star signs coming up, but not symbols. could schedule that in for a future date?

4:35 pm

hurshy

lol, that reminds me of a funny. my friend edward's mom is french, but his dad is american and they live in the states. on american mother's day he does nothing for her because "she's french!" but on french mother's day he does nothing because "she's not in france anymore!"

4:35 pm

Schroeder

Post its rank up there with Duct tape...

4:36 pm

Babbler

if we're doing Duct Tape, then we have to do WD40....

4:36 pm

cybernan

How about things we would like to give Dr. G for his birthday?

4:36 pm

MissyMe

Hurshy lol
If only I could be so clever in my excuses when I want to get out of something unpleasant!

4:36 pm

Babbler

"Sometimes, we just need to remember what the rules of life really are:
You only need two tools: WD-40 and Duct Tape. If it doesn't move and should,
use the WD-40. If it shouldn't move and does, use the duct tape."

4:37 pm

hurshy

i hope we're still putting all these little inventions together - it would be hard to find a lot of WD40 icons!

4:37 pm

Babbler

ooh oooh!! we'll have to have a Tools Party!! LOL!!

4:38 pm

MissyMe

cybernan I love that idea! Or something fun like what we would give an alien to sum up earth for him in one picture

4:38 pm

hurshy

how about a time capsule day - what we would put in one to show people 100 years from now what we were like?

4:38 pm

snowyowl

My favourite inventions are the hot glue gun, the stapler & blu-tack.

4:38 pm

MissyMe

hurshy yup that's what I wanted to pick and choose what we think is a great invention

4:39 pm

Babbler

that's good cyber, I'll put that in when I find out when Dr God's birthday is.

I'd give an alien a pencil. Interesing, Missy!!

4:39 pm

Babbler

Time Capsule Day!! wow!!

I'd better get a pen and some paper, hadn't I?? busy busy!

4:40 pm

snowyowl

oh & double sided sticky tape! I should have been on Blue Peter

4:40 pm

Babbler

*hands Snowy an empty bottle of Fairy washing up liquid*
*oh, and some sticky back plastic*

4:40 pm

MissyMe

I'd like the Time capsule one too...and to reinforce Hurshy's other idea, the hat day would be fun too...where we have a choice of any hat

4:41 pm

hurshy

pirate day!
dessert day!

4:41 pm

MissyMe

snowy lol

4:41 pm

snowyowl

-------------Tracy Island coming up! LOL

snowyowl

Babbler thats Anjs futurama day isn't it?

4:51 pm

Babbler

4:52 pm

hurshy

4:52 pm

kristin

Snowy, as the future dates are some way off, I think it's ok to move things.

4:53 pm

Niamh

how far ahead are we planning babbler? (My birthday is in June)

4:54 pm

MissyMe

That holiday is celebrated on Feb 6th. Ummm...how about displaying political documents of all kinds because that's the day a treaty was signed

4:54 pm

Babbler

my pleasure, hurshy. It's nice to be able to help you for a change! : )

4:54 pm

snowyowl

Babbler

I'm really enjoying being the list monitor, snowy! It's really good for my memory skills!

4:55 pm

hurshy

well if you like helping me, then i won't be shy about asking for help with the second ce6

4:56 pm

MissyMe

first ru4/5 and 5/12 it's like the expression, "You'll ru* the day you were born!" This is the person who actually does...he's a ru**...the 5/12 is the plural
or6/24 or + third du4/6

4:57 pm

Babbler

lol hurshy! yes, add opp of them to your ce4/5 just above it.

4:57 pm

Babbler

what date is your birthday, Niamh?

4:57 pm

hurshy

4:57 pm

MissyMe

Hurshy

4:57 pm

mrpresident

4:58 pm

Babbler

5:00 pm

Babbler

what about Hobart Regatta Day (S Tasmania) and
Launceston Cup (N Tasmania) ??

what happens on these days?

5:01 pm

kristin

Missy, got the or, but not getting the ru clue, got another clue?

5:01 pm

mrpresident

bab, there is not alot to do in Tasmania... ;)

5:01 pm

renfield

hi shro - how's your dad?

5:01 pm

hurshy

cr 5/14?

5:02 pm

MissyMe

Hobart Regatta Day The public holiday is the culmination of three days of races and other water activities held on the Derwent River. Yachts, motor boats and ferries all participate. Vantage points all around the river provide good viewing. I guess boats would be appropriate then

5:02 pm

Babbler

should I put them in as themes, mrp?

5:02 pm

Babbler

hurshy, it kind of rhymes with the lady in the Starship Enterprise....

5:02 pm

Niamh

kristin, the stuff you make with flower and water when you're trying to thicken the gravy... then make it a person then make it plural

5:03 pm

mrpresident

bab, not even I know what they are LOL! one is a yacht/rowing race and the other is a horse race??
I don't think they are 'theme' worthy myself

5:03 pm

hurshy

a perfect clue for me. i have her autograph, you know. :)

5:03 pm

kristin

thanks niamh and missyme!

5:04 pm

MissyMe

kristin
ru4/5 it rhymes with the first su4/5...just different first letters
the ru5/12 is the plural

5:04 pm

Babbler

ok, thanks mrp! I'm just running my Notable Dates in my diary with you all, please just say Yay or Nay, as appropriate. : )

5:04 pm

Schroeder

5:08 pm

peester

Howdy from Kentucky. I'm in need of clue(s) for the one word I've got left: last co 5/14. I've got the plural of measured cord of wood and both english and latin plurals for the unconscious state (co 4/6).

Now I'm back I find my icon still has not changed Glad you like HENK HELMANTEL TOO so much he is my alltime favorite and he is a very nice humble man at that he is a true artist.
Will try refreshing again

5:09 pm

hurshy

5:10 pm

MissyMe

peester
co 5/14 spelled like the 5/14 following it on the list but drop the consonant and add an "e"

5:11 pm

MissyMe

Still here Lucky...glad you're back :D

5:11 pm

MissyMe

You're welcome Drum :)

5:12 pm

peester

Thanx Hurshy... that was it. Sorry about the other word, meant to say PILE of wood... May I help anyone with some clues?

5:12 pm

renfield

shro - that's good news....dads are like that sometimes..8)

5:14 pm

Babbler

mrp, we had a day along those lines before Christmas. Having said that, why don't we have it again????

what does everyone think?

oh, mrp, there are some Aus/NZ dates I'm unsure of - all the different Labour Days WA, VIC, QLD, NZ, and ACT/SW/SA; and the three Queen's Birthdays. What shall I do?

5:15 pm

MissyMe

I say yay to another day of our children, (or grandchildren) :D

5:16 pm

Niamh

I missed the children day, I'd love another opportunity!

5:16 pm

MissyMe

for those who don't have kids they can put up their pets or a favorite relative or person

5:16 pm

mrpresident

labour days - nay - we just sit around a drink beer!!

Queens birthday - mmm... we should have that on the Queens ACTUAL birthday... I will hunt around for some good holidays that actually have meaning!! :)

5:17 pm

Niamh

or themselfs when they were little, that might be a fun theme in itself....

5:17 pm

MissyMe

I've always thought the Queen a very classy person. I was especially impressed with her work during WWII...very inspiring!

5:17 pm

mrpresident

thanks bab... 'gorgeous children' theme for sure!!

5:17 pm

Babbler

thanks, mrp. That would be brilliant!

good thinking, Missy and Niamh. I think that's what some people did last time.

We spend all day shopping & cooking ready for Easter Sunday Babbler & setting up Easter Egg hunts!

5:23 pm

MissyMe

RobRob
lol...that name is cracking me up...LuvMyPom *snicker*

5:24 pm

Babbler

what would be an appropriate theme for that day?

5:24 pm

evanonut

hurshy, i didn't know that, and i was raised catholic

* crosses self in recognition of ignorance *

5:24 pm

hurshy

um... maybe black?

5:25 pm

MissyMe

Eva I don't need to see another cu word for a long long time. This puzzle was maddening!

5:25 pm

RobRob

been waiting to tell LuvMyPom something but never see him/her here!

5:25 pm

Babbler

you mean black clothes? black dresses and suits?

5:25 pm

hurshy

mo 5/16?

5:25 pm

Babbler

mo5/16 operandi..... !!

5:26 pm

hurshy

i don't know, black anything, as long as it's sort of respectful.

5:26 pm

evanonut

hmmm, not starting this puzzle, but the first word i think of when i hear the letters 'cu' isn't a nice one.

5:26 pm

MissyMe

Rob I'm sorry...I haven't been around long enough to see the long term people who play off and on :(

5:26 pm

Niamh

ne 7 & 8 anyone?

5:26 pm

hurshy

lots of latin today.

5:26 pm

Babbler

Rob, I haven't seen Luvmypom for a while now.... but I've been on and off myself lately. : /

5:27 pm

MissyMe

Niamh those words mean a type of brain tumor

start off with the latin for "brain" which is a neu...and so forth and add the Italian spelling of the City Rome, (it has a different vowel at the end)

5:27 pm

evanonut

curiously me too babbler, and what would your excuse be?

5:27 pm

Babbler

hurshy, if we go for black clothes, I can guarantee it will lean towards party frocks. What else do you think we could do that would be appropriate?

5:28 pm

evanonut

sunrises

5:28 pm

RobRob

Thanks Missy : )

5:28 pm

Niamh

thank you missy, I saw that clue earlier... but I wasn't paying attention, sorry. Thank you again!

5:28 pm

Babbler

evan - you mean why I've been on and off? I was at home with my family till the weekend just gone. What about you?

5:29 pm

chic

Babbler, how about angels?

5:29 pm

MissyMe

Niamh YW :)

5:29 pm

evanonut

5:29 pm

RobRob

5:29 pm

hurshy

5:29 pm

MissyMe

Chic I remember doing angels at Christmas I had a fish with wings--angelfish :)

5:30 pm

snowyowl

how about contemplation Babbler - not sure I''ve thought that through. - or it may be just better to leave Good friday & Easter saturday free and celebrate on the Sunday

5:30 pm

chic

or crosses...

5:30 pm

Babbler

we did angels before Christmas, Chic. Thanks though.

all things quiet?? that sounds like it might be good!

5:30 pm

MissyMe

5:31 pm

MissyMe

5:32 pm

hurshy

this is getting ridiculous, but...ra6?

5:32 pm

Babbler

Snowy, maybe I'll do that, leave Good Friday and the Saturday free. Hurshy, do you think that would be acceptable?

5:32 pm

MissyMe

oooo how about strange sites around the world...architecture...such as stone henge, the rock, the pyramids and so forth...let people chose

5:33 pm

Babbler

ra6 - usually see this word with an e at the beginning. (which was the name of an 80s band).

ra + su4/5

5:33 pm

Niamh

ra+ raise your hand if you're su**

5:33 pm

MissyMe

ra6 ra + 4th su4/5

5:33 pm

Babbler

Missy, I was thinking about architecture last night!! You're in my brain!! Great minds!! :D

5:33 pm

hurshy

how funny, i looked for that as an e7, but didn't know it could be an r6!

5:34 pm

MissyMe

once again we're thinking alike! :) indeed...

5:35 pm

Babbler

Missy, I've put it in for after Easter, (and credited us both!! lol!) I called it Architecture, Ancient & Modern.

5:35 pm

MissyMe

How about deep sea creatures?...there's a new species discovered every minute :)

5:36 pm

Babbler

hurshy, I left Good Friday, the Sat and Easter Monday as free choice. Is that ok?

5:36 pm

MissyMe

5:36 pm

5:38 pm

hurshy

Babbler

su5 - su + what you open to enter a room, minus a hoop.

oh yeah, favourite president..... eek! what shall I do? another date for it?

5:40 pm

MissyMe

first su5 su + what you open and close to get into and out of buildings...drop one of the vowels

5:40 pm

Babbler

5:40 pm

MissyMe

5:41 pm

Niamh

5:41 pm

MissyMe

The Black and White can be on April Fool's Day just for kicks

Dachef

Evening ladies and germs! Started this thing this morning at the flip - 6 am here - a few minutes before I went to work. Just returned home after a killer day (its now almost midnight), only to find this grids a bit of a b*gger. Wish I hadnt started this morning!

5:53 pm

kristin

nite snowy

5:54 pm

kristin

i agree dachef, not a friendly puzzle today

5:54 pm

Anj

...you're not the only one Dachef : /

Evening All : )

5:55 pm

kristin

evening anj

5:56 pm

Niamh

well hello Dachef!

5:56 pm

Niamh

and hello anj!

5:56 pm

Niamh

love that book, and the whole series anj.... great choice!

5:58 pm

Anj

Niamh, haven't read any TB for years now. I must be 6 or 7 books out of date. He's written at least two more Shannara trilogies since I last dabbled... : /

5:58 pm

MissyMe

Dachef I'm only a fair Babbler but the experts around here have had trouble with this puzzle, tells me this is a real booger!

5:58 pm

Dachef

stuff this for a game of soldiers. Far too tired. When you keep putting in words with a w in them and wondering why it wont accept them for 5 minutes before realising there is no w in the grid, you know it just aint gonna happen.

5:59 pm

MissyMe

Hello Anj :)

5:59 pm

Niamh

I have one he wrote a few years back, The voyage of the Jerel Shannara, I think... still waiting for me to read it

5:59 pm

LUCKY

Hi all I am trying for ages to change my icon ..
I check the correct ending of the pics and refresh but still without luck does anyone have a clue to this problem?

6:00 pm

Niamh

I had to reread the kingdom of Landover series recently... they were calling me

6:00 pm

Dachef

got down to 40 words to go - cant even be bothered to reconcile my list with the babble anonymous site. Need sleep.

In the words of the immortal one, "smoke me a kipper, I'll be back for....."

6:01 pm

Niamh

lucky, I usually open the pic I want full screen, then copy the entire web addy (ctrl C) then when I get to the profile I erase the http:// that is already there and paste the whole thing in (ctrl V)

6:01 pm

MissyMe

Lucky what file name is your icon you're trying to upload?

6:02 pm

LUCKY

Missy the filenames are jepgs

6:02 pm

Anj

Whoops! Hi Kristin, MissyMe : )

Lol Dachef, been there, done that, didn't admit it at the time tho' ; )

6:05 pm

MissyMe

Lucky...you're right...that should work. But open it in Paint, copy it and then save the copy as a .gif or another file name to see if that works

6:06 pm

MissyMe

then after you upload, refresh while still on the edit page...see if it's there

6:06 pm

LUCKY

thanks Missy I'll do but mabe later because I now want to get on with the grid .... you will see my paintings I promise

6:07 pm

cybernan

6:08 pm

Anj

Well the random word generator has thrown a few curveballs today. I'm struggling to find 46 words in common usage in this grid : /
Maybe it's using the Disable Dictionary... : )

6:08 pm

LUCKY

Those DU'S are a chore! any clues recycling?

6:08 pm

snowyowl

just a thought Lucky - is the pic you are trying to use saved as a jpeg? - I think you have to use a pic that is a jpeg

6:09 pm

Anj

Lucky, 10 of them start with the same 3 letters...

6:09 pm

cybernan

Lucky -- which du's in particular?

6:11 pm

MissyMe

Lucky except for the first two du's...the rest are dur's all the way down...just add different endings

6:12 pm

cybernan

last 4 du's:
du 4/6: rhymes with sound a cat makes when contented
du 5/14: add vowel to above
du 6/24: pluralize the 5/14
du 5/14: pluralize the 4/6

6:14 pm

MissyMe

cu5/20 is like the two words above it but it has a funn"y" ending

6:16 pm

MissyMe

the happy, snappy, doubble consonannts in the puzzle are our friends throughout the grid

6:16 pm

LUCKY

Thanks snowyowl yes they are jpegs
Thanks anj that saves time
thanks cybernan and all others ..
this way I think I might even finish the grid tonight ...

6:24 pm

LUCKY

No Missy I would not **** but enough chat left over LOL

6:25 pm

MissyMe

kristin I do that and feel bad when the person gets back to me and says something like, "I've tried and tried to fit that in and it just won't accept it", then we find out I had given the wrong clue

6:25 pm

kristin

MissyMe

Babbler...we'd drive her crazy picking her mind for clues lol

Me and my mother used to play US scrabble in dutch, english french, german and latin for the Q at the same time.. makes wonderful high scores into the 500

8:34 pm

Babbler

8:34 pm

MissyMe

Lucky...that is so impressive!

8:35 pm

MissyMe

Babs lol she is a joy when she's around...her energy is catching

8:35 pm

Babbler

Lucky, wow!!! so many languages!!! I knew you would speak a few, but I didn't think of latin. Wow!!

8:35 pm

LUCKY

What's more in japan one is NOT supposed to eat in public.... bye bye snacks, bye bye drinks, gone is the peanutbutter ooooh boy what are we in for

8:36 pm

MissyMe

I didn't know that, Lucky...interesting...

8:37 pm

LUCKY

Babbleras to the latin .... had one year of latin in school and studied law for some years (actually partied more hush)

8:38 pm

Babbler

Miya is awesome! Lovely girl. Very wise for someone so young.

I did a year of latin at school too, Lucky, though I don't remember too much of it. Badly taught.... :/

8:38 pm

LUCKY

MissyMe ask Miya if you want to know details ... this is all I know (and fussy about showing pubic hair on tv as well... everything else is aloud)

8:39 pm

MissyMe

I'm a retired medical transcriptionist. I had to take Latin and Greek in school to be able to break down medical terms

8:40 pm

Babbler

most of the latin I remember is from science and biology lessons at school.

8:40 pm

LUCKY

Babbler ... AMO AMAS AMAT, AMAMUS AMATIS AMANT...
or something

8:40 pm

MissyMe

Lucky, I know about the way sex is protrayed in the media in Japan...there always must be something between the man and the woman...no actually skin to skin contact during a "sex" scene

8:40 pm

Babbler

we never learnt any greek. I'm always stuck when there are greek letters of the alphabet in puzzles.

8:41 pm

LUCKY

MissyMe how awfully boring!!!!

8:41 pm

MissyMe

What's nice about a site like Babble, we all love words or we wouldn't be here...:) Nice to meet like-minds

8:41 pm

Babbler

though I remember a few from a book. alpha, beta, gamma, delta, epsilon. sigma, omega, zeta..... that's it! lol!

8:42 pm

EvaNadine

"And Shepherds we shall be
For thee, my Lord, for thee.
Power hath descended forth from Thy hand
Our feet may swiftly carry out Thy commands.
So we shall flow a river forth to Thee
And teeming with souls shall it ever be.
In Nomeni Patri Et Fili Spiritus Sancti."

thats from one of my favorite movies.
:)

8:42 pm

Babbler

yes Missy! This site is wonderful. I've never met so many like-minded people! :D

8:43 pm

MissyMe

In the name of the father, the son and the holy spirit...

8:43 pm

EvaNadine

good work missy!

8:43 pm

Babbler

the saddest line I know comes from a Siegfried Sassoon poem: "Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori".

8:44 pm

Babbler

which means "It is a sweet and fitting thing to die for one's country". I think he wrote it around the 1st World War. So sad.

8:45 pm

Babbler

no, it was Wilfred Owen!!

8:46 pm

MissyMe

Lucky...with their attitude about showing the actual sex act...they sure make up for it in their anime! lol very very sexy material

8:46 pm

Babbler

*bashes head over thtoooopid memory*

8:47 pm

MissyMe

Babbler was he being patriotic when he wrote that or sarcastic? (I don't know the poem)

8:48 pm

Babbler

I'm just looking at it. He said it was "the old lie".

8:49 pm

Babbler

it's called Dulce et Decorum Est if you want to look it up. I studied it at school and it stayed with me.

8:49 pm

MissyMe

ah...good for him! :)

8:51 pm

LUCKY

Eva..
It should long have passed away... says my mind..
or never have happened at all
taking at same time each event
so small into consideration.
Alike a lawyer facing facts..
but still on the ball to make the best of it
Choosing her speech so keen
not to loose a friend plausible between
the audience present
Oh its my mind not or I would have won this case
keeping track and easy pace with acceptation.
As an Emperor infact but rules my soul on end too strict
My heart skipping few beats...
Not able to contradict!
Lucky

8:51 pm

MissyMe

I just bookmarked it and will read it later...thank you :)

8:52 pm

EvaNadine

lucky -- did you write that?

8:52 pm

Babbler

I agree. He describes what it's really like to be a soldier and says if you knew what he knew, you wouldn't say it's a good thing to die for one's country.

8:53 pm

LUCKY

MissyMe the poet in me was busy so
Should we have a sex grid then some time eh!

8:54 pm

LUCKY

Yes Eva I did

8:54 pm

MissyMe

Lucky...very intelligent with good measure. You must have written that while studying law?

8:54 pm

Babbler

wow Lucky! It's brilliant!

8:55 pm

MissyMe

Lucky I would say yes to that but for one reason, we can never tell how old some of the Babblers are who come here...it might get Dr. God into trouble with the parents...

8:56 pm

LUCKY

Yes MissyMe a long time ago but I LOVE writing poems... sad that my painting studies (and babbling )takes up most of my time now

8:56 pm

LUCKY

MissyMe I know of course was just kidding LOL

8:57 pm

Babbler

I love writing poems too, though I have hardly written anything since I discovered Babble! : )

8:57 pm

LUCKY

Thanks Babbler ... we aim to please!!

8:58 pm

MissyMe

Poetry is not a job, it's not something you can do all the time have the poetry be fresh and alive. Poetry is pure expression, alive and beautiful like nature...created as a surprise and...secret like a mother's womb...

8:59 pm

Babbler

I like that, Missy! Yes, very secret! :D

9:00 pm

LUCKY

Babbler shake hands!!!

Something simple and straight
Alike a flute made of straw

Lucky

9:04 pm

Babbler

9:04 pm

LUCKY

Welcome Babbler!;)

9:04 pm

Babbler

how about you post them in BabAnon, Lucky? So we can read them again?

9:05 pm

Babbler

su5/14 - su + what you go through to enter a room, minus a hoop

9:06 pm

MissyMe

Tim
su 5/14
su + object you open and close to enter and leave a building, (drop one of the vowels)

9:06 pm

LUCKY

Babbler
a. How would I go about that?
b. They are not THAT great!
c. What about copy rights?

9:06 pm

Babbler

Missy, we're in sy4/7 again! : )

9:07 pm

MissyMe

Lucky...posting them online is almost as good as a copywrite because dates and times are always recorded as we are here

9:07 pm

MissyMe

Babbler we sure are!

9:07 pm

Babbler

I think you can add an entry whereever you want, Lucky. Hmmm... hadn't thought about copyright. Mind you, these chatlogs are archived, so your poems are here now!

9:08 pm

LUCKY

Talking about sy ** MissyMe any left overs to spare???

9:08 pm

Babbler

...and Lucky, I really enjoyed them!!

9:08 pm

Tim

9:09 pm

LUCKY

Oh boy Babbler had not thought of archives ooops!

9:10 pm

LUCKY

Babbler poet...
may we enjoy some of your work some time soon?

9:11 pm

Babbler

Lucky, no way! I'm very very secretive! And they are awful anyway! They're just how I'm feeling at the time. Nothing special. Just a creative way of working things through.

9:11 pm

MissyMe

I'm having ham, fried rice and corn tonight if that sounds good to you, Lucky. You're welcome to a place at our table :)

9:12 pm

LUCKY

MissyMe I am running ....where will you have me?

LUCKY

9:17 pm

Babbler

ok : D

9:17 pm

LUCKY

MissyMe I am FLABBERGASTED how wonderful it smells good too ;D

9:18 pm

Babbler

*tries to talk with mouth full* delishush! :D

9:18 pm

MissyMe

You'll think me outrageous, Lucky but when I write poetry it's for cleansing my heart and mind...ridding myself of daemons...when I'm finished writing, the exorcism is not quite complete...I have to tear up the poem and throw it away...it must be destroyed...after that act I feel better

9:18 pm

LUCKY

Anything else cooking?????

9:18 pm

MissyMe

thank you thank you :)

lol

9:19 pm

Babbler

Missy, I know what you mean. I rarely go back an re-read them.

9:20 pm

MissyMe

We only have peanut butter cookies for dessert this evening...oh I have some vanilla ice cream with some homemade hot fudge my daughter's mother-in-law made for us...it's delicious!

9:20 pm

LUCKY

MissyMe .. let me fill you in...
By all means
We DO NOT destroy poetry of any kind shape or form
We better eat our hats. LOL

9:20 pm

Babbler

come to think of it, everything I create is kind of like that. I rarely keep anything I make. Funny that. It's just that whatever it is is hugely invested with how I'm feeling. And I reckon once it's gone, it's gone.

9:21 pm

Babbler

*cross-eyed over thought of ice-cream and homemade hot fudge*

9:21 pm

MissyMe

lol Lucky

But poetry is therapy for me. If I were to leave it lying around it would haunt me. I'm of the same mind as Babbler...it's secret to me

9:22 pm

Babbler

lol Missy!! I write in a notebook..... and anytime I have visitors, I hide it!!! :D

9:23 pm

LUCKY

Did you say cookies and icecream MissyMe....
You have to move here definitely!

Taring of poems is hereby graciously forgiven!

9:23 pm

MissyMe

((((Babbler)))) Okay we must have been siamese twins separated at birth...or both of us were car salesman and partners in another life! lol

9:24 pm

MissyMe

Lucky is your heart in your painting...or are you would you rather go back to either being a lawyer or doctor?

9:31 pm

MissyMe

Babbler..this site is wonderful...I have yet to see a Troll here. It's full of such nice people

9:32 pm

Babbler

you're lucky Missy, I've seen a few trolls. We just ignore them now and they go away. But yes, I love the people on this site too! : )

9:33 pm

Dianne

Hi Babbler - thanks for the good wishes - same to you.
Darn work has been getting in the way of babbling.

Trying to play today's grid but not having too much success :(

9:33 pm

MissyMe

Babbler...are they at least articulate? My guess is they're not and what really chases them off is the intelligence naturally welling up from this place. :) They didn't just meet their match...they met their master!

9:34 pm

Babbler

Dianne, Sprite said it was a nice grid, so I jumped in. I found it tough too! I found most of my words just monkey-typing. Some strange words today! :/

9:34 pm

Babbler

ahaaaa!! well put, Missy!!! I like that! :D

9:34 pm

Babbler

you're right, they're not usually articulate.

9:35 pm

Dianne

The Ur4/6 is vexing me - been worrying with this for ages - monkey typing hasn't helped at all.

9:35 pm

MissyMe

Dianne, this grid was made for monkey typing...once you get the first 3 words you can monkey type a good many more...and reuse middle parts of words to complete other words...

9:35 pm

LUCKY

MissyMe I would never want to be neither a lawyer nor a psych anymore since I was accepted to this artschool
My father was an artist so it must have been in my genes all along but my soul, heart and all the universe are combined in my painting would not want to do anything else for as long as I live and beyond....

9:36 pm

MissyMe

Ur4/6

its like the last 4 letters of cu5/16

9:36 pm

Babbler

Dianne - ur4/6 - ur + 4th letter of alphabet + what makes a word plural

9:37 pm

Babbler

follow your passion, Lucky. : )

9:37 pm

marigold

ur4/6 and ur4/7 are almost the same just change the third letter to a d

9:38 pm

MissyMe

Lucky...you are hereby christened an artiste...your home is where your heart is...you have come home...

9:38 pm

LUCKY

Yes Babbler could not agree more but you and MissyMe are in my heart too

9:38 pm

Dianne

marigold & babbler - I have the Ur4/7 and Ur4/5 - it's
the 4/6 that I can't get for anything.

9:38 pm

LUCKY

MissyMe could not agree more!! here here

9:39 pm

Babbler

I'm sad to say it's time for me to go. : (
Thanks for the great company!!! Goodnight and God bless all. : )

9:50 pm

LeslieAnn

dianne, i gave a clue at 9:43. or.... ur + fourth letter + plural

9:50 pm

GreyWoulf

Dianne -- so you have the su4/6?

9:51 pm

MissyMe

ad 5/16 ad + abbrev. of the brother of your parent, (what he is to you)
ar 5/14 Noah's ar* (change the k to another vowel) + opposite of the word "them"

9:51 pm

JoJoFunLvg

Gald she is going c-section then. Feb. 5th, right? I'll be thinking about you all.

9:51 pm

MissyMe

I mean change the K to another consonant...sorry
not a vowel

9:52 pm

LUCKY

Oke Babbler lets have MissyMe and GW join us at what time tomorrow?

9:52 pm

GreyWoulf

Feb 3rd, JoJo :)

9:52 pm

kristinc

thx missy...real simple huh?

9:53 pm

MissyMe

I'm usually on the grid about 3-5 p.m. PST to chat

9:53 pm

Dianne

GW - I have the su4/6. I have the ur4/7 that has tas the last 3 letter of the su4/6 and then plural.
What I don't have is the word that comes after that -
the Ur4/6. This is making me crazy.

9:53 pm

GreyWoulf

Lucky -- the earliest I can usually log on is after 9:30 EST-- I work during the day and the baby's bedtime is 9 :)

9:54 pm

MissyMe

kristinc this puzzle was a doozy! so many odd spellings!

9:54 pm

JoJoFunLvg

GW: **HUGS** I'll be thinking about you guys on Feb. 3rd. Are you going to let us know how things went on the 4th.

9:54 pm

Babbler

I'm in and out all day, every day! :)

9:54 pm

GreyWoulf

Dianne -- the ur4/6 is the su4/6 with the s at the end without changing the order of the other 3

9:55 pm

kristinc

Missy...no kidding. I have 88 left to go and actually am not sure if I'll finish!

9:55 pm

LUCKY

Oke MissyMe and GW we'll meet again and Missy I will try hard to change icons
Sleep well all ...
it was great fun (((HUGS))

9:55 pm

MissyMe

Dianne
Think of ur4/6 this way
like Little Bo Peep eating her c**** and whey. Now drop the c and you have the word

9:56 pm

MissyMe

(((Lucky))) Thank you for the wonderful chat this evening Sleep well!

9:57 pm

GreyWoulf

JoJo -- most likely you will hear from me that night -- the procedure is sometime in the morning, like 7 AMish -- I will probably get the baby to bed and then come here to destress

9:57 pm

LUCKY

Babbler you too sleep well I am leaving you with 17 words to go

9:57 pm

Dianne

MissyMe, GW and everyone else - I need to quite this game - It is the Ur4/7 that I don't have (I need to learn how to add). Sorry to have had you all helping me with the wrong word.

9:58 pm

MissyMe

arg...not little bo peep...what am I thinking...its little miss muffet eating her c**** and whey...sorry about that!

9:58 pm

GreyWoulf

Good job, today, Lucky -- go get your much deserved rest --- there will be another grid tomorrow! ;D
(*Hug*) -- sleep well, dream deep

9:59 pm

JoJoFunLvg

Woulfie: You will probably be so stressed out that you won't even think about babbling. But, if you aren't, I will probably be here.

9:59 pm

MissyMe

Ur4/7 this sounds like the word herbs...spell it according to the first two letters you have to shart with :)

10:00 pm

GreyWoulf

Dianne -- (*Big Hug*) -- it's quite alright, you aren't the first, and you won't be the last -- the 4/7 is the cu5/18 (plural of the edge of the street) minus the c

10:02 pm

Dianne

MissyMe and GW - thanks for the help. Thank goodness I finally got that. I appreciate all the time you took helping me :)

10:03 pm

GreyWoulf

Dianne -- you have helped me a time or two in the past as I recall --- just my way of balancing the books ;D

10:03 pm

MissyMe

Dianne...just another monkey word. I started off this grid by monkey typing when I saw the letters involved. I didn't bother looking for "real" words until I had moneky typed about 40 words! :)

10:04 pm

Dianne

MissyMe - this grid seems filled with "non-word" words.

10:05 pm

MissyMe

YVW Dianne :) You've helped me too

10:06 pm

MissyMe

Dianne Indeed...its the oddest collection of "what the heck does that word mean" words I've ever come across.

10:07 pm

GreyWoulf

You're telling me!

Help with the cr5/14?

10:07 pm

JoJoFunLvg

Glad I am not the only one having problems with the grid. I thought I may be loosing it!

10:09 pm

MissyMe

I don't want to sound like I'm complaining...I actually had fun finding the secret Martian code. Oh...according to the grid's secret grid, the Martians are anticipating the new season of Stargate SG1...they mentioned they really like comedy...

10:10 pm

GreyWoulf

ROFL, Missy! ;D

10:11 pm

MissyMe

GW cr5/14
first 3 letters of word above this word + cheer **, **, **, sis boom ba!

10:11 pm

Dianne

Gw - Cr5/14 - same first 3 letters as cr4/7 then first 2 letter of the word you yell when cheering for your team.

10:11 pm

GreyWoulf

And here I thought it actually said -- "Eat at Wnoeir's!"

10:11 pm

MissyMe

GW LMAO!!!!

10:12 pm

GreyWoulf

Thank you, Dianne -- must have missed monkeying that one :)

10:13 pm

10:16 pm

Dianne

The 1st Cr4/6. I've got the one with the first four letters of the bread edge.

MissyMe

10:18 pm

Kind of short notice, though, isn't it? ;D

10:21 pm

markbowers7

Missy, i have not...maybe i should check that out...(ther's so many places online...mind-babbling)... ;)

10:22 pm

MissyMe

10:22 pm

Angelsong

GW, hardly. she has a son almost 2 years old and she's marrying the baby's father. About time, I'd say.

10:24 pm

GreyWoulf

ROFLMAO, Angel!!!

MissyMe

10:28 pm

Tim

clues for the or6 and the two ca5/14........:~)

10:28 pm

GreyWoulf

mark -- I had noticed right after you left the other day, that there is a link in the Friends box that says 'Become a Friend' -- so I have a feeling that it is pretty simple ;)

10:29 pm

mikenz

so how many words can I get in an hour?

10:29 pm

MissyMe

Tim
or6 or + the third du4/6

10:29 pm

markbowers7

"The Friends of Babble are all blogs that have professed their love of Babble. If you want to become a Friend, just mention Babble in your blog, and I'll add you to the list." -- Dr_God....i don't know if my site counts as a blog

10:30 pm

GreyWoulf

Hi mike! -- depends on how fast you type and how many clues you want? ;D

10:30 pm

Dianne

Ca5/14 - you play bridge witha deck of these.

10:30 pm

Angelsong

GW, it is easy. you post about babble to your site or log, then e mail dr_god to let him know. that's it.

10:31 pm

MissyMe

two ca5/14
~ playing ca***
~first three letters of above word plus sound people making when meditating...

10:31 pm

GreyWoulf

Then I guess you will have to email Dr God after all, mark :)

10:31 pm

markbowers7

thx, Angel, i will have to modify my site to include that...that would be sweet.... :-)

10:31 pm

Angelsong

I did the Friends thing and let dr_god know, but no link to the left of this page for my blog yet.

10:32 pm

Dianne

2nd Ca5/15 - ca + word that follows CD___

10:32 pm

markbowers7

so Grey, have u checked out my new song at Soundclick yet? 10 minutes for free....

10:32 pm

Dianne

10:33 pm

Tim

thanxs again got em........good clues...had the playing ca... didnt realize it.....:D

10:33 pm

GreyWoulf

Oh boy -- 25 words to go and they are all D's or M's!

10:33 pm

MissyMe

Tim lol I did that a few times with this grid...and yw :)

10:34 pm

GreyWoulf

not yet, mark -- but will do so now --- it's this darn obsessive personality of mine -- I get focussed on one thing and forget how to multitask ;D

10:35 pm

markbowers7

lol, Grey

10:37 pm

Tim

just 16 more to go........slowly finding out what they are ....having a hard time with the do's....have only one do/4 .....Help....Please...

10:39 pm

Dianne

All the Do's have the same first 3 letters.

10:40 pm

MissyMe

all of them start with the same first 3 letters...so the one you have already is a start

use the double consonant for the first two do words

drop one of the double consonants for the next word and make it plural

the next is the first three letters + "sa+

the next is add a "d" to the end of the above word

10:40 pm

GreyWoulf

mark -- I just got it started -- It's wonderful!

10:41 pm

markbowers7

thx, Grey...it didn't make the cut for the CD, because it was a one-shot deal...composed/arranged as i played it...i like the spontaneous stuff now and then

10:43 pm

Tim

SWEET got all of em again......thanx 11 more........

10:43 pm

GreyWoulf

mark -- In my opinion, the spontaneous is what defines the artist more accurately than the planned :)

10:46 pm

markbowers7

Grey, i am so quoting u on that! thx...
most of my songs have grown out of spontaneous wanderings, but that one was TOTALLY spontaneous

10:47 pm

GreyWoulf

Go ahead, mark -- you may quote me with my blessing ;)

10:47 pm

MissyMe

cool Tim :) go go go!

10:47 pm

Tim

having trouble with all of the mo 5s.........why ?

10:47 pm

markbowers7

hey, it's a good quote...what can i say?

10:48 pm

Niamh

10:48 pm

harpjane

Hello. 79 words to go.

10:49 pm

markbowers7

back from where? outerspace?

10:49 pm

GreyWoulf

Hi Niamh! -- (*Hug*) -- I got your email, but haven't had the opp to answer yet, but I will by the weekend :)

10:49 pm

Niamh

very cool, I was wondering if you received it or not

10:50 pm

Tim

hello ::::harp

10:50 pm

Niamh

yes outerspace mark.... I had to have a little chat with my kin

10:50 pm

MissyMe

~ mo + anothe word for donkey...but drop one "s"
~this rhymes with the movie title Tora, Tora, Tora!
~ short little word...same first 3 letters as word above it + pluralize it

10:50 pm

GreyWoulf

harp -- looking at your icon just reminded me that I didn't actually need to find one special for today :D

10:51 pm

Tim

hello:::::Niamh

10:51 pm

markbowers7

<grin>...doesn't surprise me...next time say hi for me... ;)

10:51 pm

harpjane

Very good, GW, are you the big bad one?

10:51 pm

MissyMe

Harp was that harp in The Little Mermaid?

10:52 pm

harpjane

No, Jack in the Beanstalk!

10:52 pm

GreyWoulf

only if you want me to be, harp ;)

10:52 pm

MissyMe

It just looked like an underwater scene is the reason I asked :)

10:53 pm

GreyWoulf

Aaaahhhh!
My cat just decided to leave my lap and now I can stretch my legs for the first time in about a half hour :)

10:54 pm

harpjane

The dial up gods are being very cruel tonight. I don't think I could type in 79 words in an hour, even if I already knew what they were! Oh well, it's only a game.....

10:54 pm

MissyMe

GW you're like me...I will keep myself in an uncomfortable position if my friend/pet is comfortable

10:55 pm

GreyWoulf

Missy -- the worst is when I have Kristianna on one side and the cats on the other!

10:56 pm

MissyMe

GW...you find a little comfort in the fact they feel so drawn to you...good spirit in you obviously!

10:56 pm

Niamh

I have ferrets... they don't cuddle :(

10:57 pm

DarleenMB

what is it with cats and computers? Mine will only stay on my lap when I'm trying to do anything on the computer...

10:57 pm

MissyMe

Niamh My son wanted a ferret but we have laws in California making it illegal to own one. I understand they're curious to the point of distraction...and can be distructive if not kept busy...is that correct?

10:57 pm

Tim

thanx Missy ...but Imstill missying the mo 5/16 and one mo5/14......::::::::)

10:58 pm

MissyMe

Darleen...is it possible they are attracted to the static electricity and other forces a computer bleeds out?

10:58 pm

DarleenMB

nah, I think she knows it annoys me ;-)

10:58 pm

Niamh

they are very curious, but not so destructive... I would say it's like having a kitten ~ forever playful and active

10:58 pm

luvmypom

Mark - Just listened to your "Untitled" piece on Soundclick. I really liked it. Is that the one you were referring to?

10:59 pm

Dianne

Tim - I'm done and I don't have a mo5/16. Check again.

10:59 pm

GreyWoulf

Thanks, Missy -- I do :)

Darleen -- before I moved to PA, my one cat, Meeper, claimed my lap whenever I was in the computer room -- the other two had to content themselves with sitting in the doorway

10:59 pm

markbowers7

no Luv, the "new" song is The Medley...

11:00 pm

MissyMe

mo 5/16 mo*** operandi

mo5/14 (could you mean mo5/12?)
both are spelled the same except for the last letter...one ends in a vowel...the other a consonant, but both vowel and consonant are used to pluralize the word

11:00 pm

luvmypom

Got that one playing right now... verrry nice. :)

11:01 pm

Niamh

clue for the last ce 6/24 please?

11:01 pm

MissyMe

Niamh I find them fascinating creatures but I don't have the energy to keep up with them :)

11:02 pm

kristinc

ce 6:plural of the ce 5 (a type of tree)

11:02 pm

markbowers7

thx Luv...i wanted to put up some free tunes before the next CD

11:02 pm

Dianne

Tim - sorry - I do have the mo5/16 mo + 4th letter in alpha + you & me.

11:02 pm

Niamh

not the plural one... the other one

11:02 pm

GreyWoulf

mark -- this is definitely a great piece for using as background for a guided meditation

11:03 pm

The Theory of Cat Gravity states that cats convert sunlight into gravity and can release it at will -- this is best seen by the fact that when a cat jumps into a window they ghost up and in, but when they jump down they go 'Thud!'

11:13 pm

MissyMe

ru5/12 this is the plural of word above it...

11:14 pm
