cybernan

Good nite, Hugs

1:16 am

cybernan

Any clues for an 7/28 and ar 7/28, please?

1:19 am

sprite

Back for a quick bit ;)

1:24 am

sprite

Nan: An7 tropical American evergreen shrub or small tree (Bixa orellana), having heart-shaped leaves and showy, rose-pink or sometimes white flowers. Also called lipstick tree.
Ar7: well, that's the only difference, actually.

1:27 am

Chessy

thanx sprite - what's worrying is that the lipstick tree word was in the puzzle only a couple of days ago - short term memory obviously ain't what it was :/

1:28 am

Babbler

hi Sprite : ) thanks! we've had this an7 word before, I remember now.

1:28 am

Babbler

a couple of days ago? did I play that day?? *tries to remember*.... :/

1:30 am

sprite

You've got it all wrong, Chessy. It's just that you expect Babble to be more original and creative in its choosing words, and not to go repeat itself so much :)
I am off again, bye dear gang, enjoy both grid and day!

1:31 am

cybernan

Thank you Sprite ((hugs))...

That's me done. 11:30 pm -- think I'll hit the hay at a decent hour for a change. :)

1:31 am

Chessy

5:44 am

Ho Hum

There were a load of good "a" clues given at 02.41 if you scroll back.

5:44 am

Eva

hebbzy-the an7 is the dreaded lipstick tree and the ar7 is the same accept for second letter.

5:45 am

gramma

hebbzy, you're being ignored for some reason. Oh yeah, I was too lazy to answer. I don't have either :)

5:46 am

Eva

Thanks hebbzy! Done.

5:46 am

hebbzy

wey hey for eva, well done

5:47 am

Eva

I'm really not totally iliterate-do know the diff between accept and except, except this morning.

5:48 am

Eva

Morning gramma. It's a really cold one isn't it?! Haven't ventured out from under the comforters yet, but have to or the stoves will go out completely.

5:50 am

gramma

Eva, it's quite chausty out there this am. The dog did what he had to and right back in we came.

5:50 am

Eva

hebbzy, did you get those long a's yet?

5:50 am

hebbzy

i'm finally done, thanks eva

5:52 am

Eva

TADA for hebbzy!!!!

Gramma, never heard "chausty" before.

5:54 am

gramma

ok now I can't remember how to spell the lipstick tree. I've tried and it's just not right. Could somebody walk me thru it? an + ? + ? etc.

5:55 am

gramma

Eva, I would guess your not from here :D

5:56 am

marigold

if you have an4/4 just add tto for the an7/28

5:57 am

gramma

Eva, I'm not sure how to spell it. I might have fancied it up a bit. Maybe it's spelled chosty.?

6:02 am

gramma

marigold, I thought I had tried that. But, evidently NOT. Thank you. I could have sat here for days obsessing. The grid would change...family would stop coming by or calling...just an old woman sitting in her chair ..mumbling lipstick tree lipstick tree...

6:03 am

marigold

y/w gramma

6:10 am

Eva

Nope gramma-wha you all call a flatlander, although I have lived in the hills before-but in Western Massachusetts. Just moved to Vermont a bit over a year ago.

6:12 am

Eva

so it is a hybrid of chilly and frosty? trying to bone up on my Vermontese here.

6:14 am

gramma

Careful w/that " you all " of yours. I'm proud to be a flat lander form the hills of Wisconsin. I had my youngest child here in Vrrrrmont. But, you know what they say..." just 'cuz the cat has her kittens in the oven, ya don't call 'em biscuits, do ya?

6:16 am

gramma

Don't get me started on the whole language thing. I love it. You bet cha Mister Dooley! Well, jeezum crow!

6:19 am

Eva

gramma -LOL-never heard the kittens in the oven one before-it's great. Now note that I didn't say "y'all". My route has been New York City (childhood-hated it from as early as I can remember), Chicago (college didn't much care for that either), Boston briefly, then the midddle of nowhere in Western Massachusetts for 18 years, then Boston again for a long stint and then here. So I'll never qualify as a true biscuit.

6:19 am

Eva

I think that my favorite so far is our postmistress, who instead of cursing says "Oh Mandy!!"

6:22 am

gramma

Eva, there are sooo many. My daughter has thought about teaching Vermont to people moving in here. Sort of like ESL; but, VSL.

6:23 am

Eva

One of my favorite language riffs are the multiple expressions for shuffling off this mortal coil:
circling the drain
taking a dirt bath
buying the farm

6:25 am

gramma

Eva, I have Never heard circling the drain. That's the best!

6:27 am

gramma

Off to get some coffee..bbl

6:28 am

Eva

bye

6:37 am

gramma

I only went to the kitchen:) I bet our Vt.talk is about as welcome as a skunk at a lawn party to those unfortunate people that don't live here.

6:57 am

tbear

Good afternoon babblers :-))

6:59 am

Angelsong

6:59 am

7:33 am

Ouwachita

DONE...anyone need a clue???

7:34 am

musicmom

good morning all. I have about 15 minutes to play

7:34 am

musicmom

Not as many obscure words today are there?

7:34 am

ExWren

I think I am heading the competition for the most number of 'oops' messages!

7:34 am

Babbler

that should get you half way, musicmom : ) hi! :)

7:35 am

Babbler

only a few, musicmom :)

7:35 am

musicmom

Then I am about there. I have 36 so far...

7:41 am

Jera

Good morning all, how goes the grid today? Very small... I'm frightened!

7:42 am

musicmom

Hey Jera. I'm finding it pretty easy

7:42 am

musicmom

Did I see you say you went to Girl scouts yesterday?
I'm a leader of a Junior troop

7:42 am

Jera

That's encouraging... these small ones can be... well, devilish...

7:43 am

Jera

Really, musicmom? That's what I have, too! We had a blast last night, got a lot accomplished!

7:43 am

Babbler

heh! they can, Jera : ) hi! : )
this one isn't so bad....

7:44 am

musicmom

Terrific. I had just left to help my daughter and one other girl work on their bronze when you posted that.

7:46 am

Jera

What year do you have? All mine are first year Juniors, & two total newbies... we have only picked out idea for bronze, no real work yet... what are you guys doing for your project?

7:46 am

musicmom

What are you working on in GS?

7:46 am

Jera

Two encouraging reports, thanks Babbler... I feel better with you here in case I get stuck!

7:46 am

tbear

Jera...today is your day for being in the grid..

7:47 am

Jera

Last night we earned the Historically Speaking Australia patch & I gave them the China one for homework... we are deciding what country to do for Thinking Day... big decision!

7:48 am

Jera

I didn't even notice, tbear... too bad I'm not valid!

7:48 am

musicmom

Terrific! We are doing Bangladesh for Thinking Day because we have a native in our troop. She and her parents are a huge help

7:49 am

Jera

So far we've earned GS in the USA & Art in 3D, Cookies Count & Animal Care are in play, also Girl Scouting Around the World, of course! We are busy beavers!

7:50 am

musicmom

You sound like us. I have third year J's so the focus has switched a little from badge earning to getting ready for bridging. We hosted the Cookie Kick Off here at the beginning of Jan.

7:51 am

musicmom

The first two years we averaged 10 badges for 9 month school years as a troop. most of my girls did individual work as well.

7:53 am

Jera

Oh that's fun as they get older & more together & do more of the planning for themselves!

7:54 am

Jera

Are you familiar with Historically Speaking? They are excellent for exploring other countries... also states, if you are doing SWAPS or pen pal stuff...

7:54 am

Jera

Has Jen been around yet today? We might be going to the movies this afternoon...

7:55 am

musicmom

No doubt! A couple weeks ago we had a "mystery party" where they acted out the parts to solve the whodunit? My co-leader and I ended up visiting in the living room because they really didn't need us and we were more in the way than a help. After the mystery - they played Scattergories. We have a meeting a week from tonight that will be hard work -- lots of Thinking Day prep and presentations from the Bronze candidates.

7:56 am

musicmom

I've never heard of Historically Speaking. Is there a website?
Is it okay to be discussing this here? I'm new - don't want to get anyone in trouble.

7:56 am

Jera

Sounds exciting, musicmom! What country are you doing?

7:57 am

musicmom

We are doing Bangladesh. A fashion show and food sampling. I have a girl who was born there and she and her parents have been incredible.

7:58 am

Jera

Oh sure, people fall into conversations all the time, anyone can jump in or out, no problem... here's the addy for the countries page, but there are tons of other patches, fun & earned, even a Daisy Low one! We are earning that for the Mother/Daughter Victorian Tea Party we're hostessing in May!

http://www.patchworkde signs.net/patchprogramscountri es.htm

7:59 am

Jera

That kinda got garbled... no spaces, all together.

Bangladesh sounds exotic! How cool to have a native to keep it authentic!

8:00 am

musicmom

Thanks! I'll check that out. We are doing an 'Iron Chef" No bake off for the She and Me in May. My girls and a Brownie troop from a neighboring town are doing it for the SU>

8:02 am

musicmom

Well, all, I only have 29 more words but have to sign off for now. I'll be back this afternoon (EST). Have a great day, afternoon or evening whereever you are.

8:05 am

Angelsong

aaaan 7 and ch 7 are found. need help with the other two.

8:07 am

Angelsong

oops, meant an7.

8:07 am

Babbler

angel - lipstick tree

8:08 am

Babbler

ar7 is just about the same word. :)

8:09 am

Jera

Nice talking to you, music mom, later!

8:09 am

Jera

Yikes, the recurring lipstick tree that I never get...

8:10 am

Jera

Well, I'm halfway, time to duck out for BA chart...

8:11 am

EvaNadine

omelette for breakfast...yay!

8:12 am

ExWren

Finished, and it's only just after 2pm!!

Now I suppose I'll have to find something else to do.

8:13 am

Angelsong

ta7?

8:14 am

EvaNadine

Ta7 -- a place where they make leather

or a place where young women get ready for the beach.
;)

8:14 am

Jen

Morning all!

8:14 am

EvaNadine

mornin jen!

8:14 am

Jera

I only have a few more minutes... littlies are off school today so we are getting pictures taken & going to the movies!

8:15 am

Babbler

hi Jen : )

8:15 am

Jera

JEN!! Are we doing the movie thing this afternoon?

8:15 am

Jen

{{{ Jera!}}}

I am so sorry we can't go to the movie with you! I've got soooooo much to do today! :/

8:16 am

Jera

That's okay... I understand... do try & catch it if you can, though, it's really good!

8:16 am

Jen

My list is long and seemingly unending! Rent check, bank, Ethan hair cut, return movies, grocery store, laundry, pack....

8:17 am

Jera

Pack? Are you going somewhere, hon?

8:17 am

Jen

FL

8:17 am

72 Temple Owl

hi xwren, babs, evaN, jera, musicmom, jera, angelsong...

8:18 am

Jera

Nice time of year to go... I always get the urge to run away to Australia in February...

8:18 am

Jen

Hey there 72TO!

8:18 am

EvaNadine

i heard on the news this morning that Air + Space has a new movie showing in the IMAX...supposed to be showing in the DC museum, as well as at the Dulles facility

8:18 am

Jera

Greetings, TempleOwl!

8:18 am

EvaNadine

mornin TO -- didja get the songs i sent last night?

8:18 am

Babbler

hi T-Owl! : )

8:19 am

Jen

Did you know that if you go to the Dulles annex after 4:30, parking is free? They charge during the day to keep airport traffic out.

8:19 am

72 Temple Owl

yes thanks evaN - are they mp3?
and did you get a reply?

8:20 am

EvaNadine

yknow, ive never been to the dulles facility...
i used to work at NASM for 5 years when i was in school -- i even worked the Dulles groundbreaking...
but i havent had a chance yet to make it out there to see the place!

8:20 am

Jera

Good tip, Jen... I am pretty lucky with my handicapped tags...

8:21 am

EvaNadine

TO -- i think theyre MP3...heh...not so techy-savvy here.

i may have gotten a reply -- between sending them + getting error messages about some files being to large or some peoples mailboxes eing full, im not quite sure what i read!
hehe

8:21 am

Jen

It's pretty cool, obviously not as big as the one downtown. They do have the Enola Gay there, though. And a space shuttle.

8:22 am

Jera

They are having some good Girl Scout specials with the Mars mission this spring... we might do some, haven't decided yet...

8:22 am

EvaNadine

yeah, that was sorta the idea behind getting a hangar -- at the DC one, they just dont have the room to display the lerger artifacts...
in the DC one, they can only display 10-20% of what they actually have.
because of the size of the Dulles hangar, now theyre displaying closer to 80%

8:24 am

EvaNadine

jen -- do you recall at the Dulles one if they have a bunch of young people in (i think) red shirts working there, called the Explainers?

8:24 am

Jen

I don't remember seeing any red shirts, to be honest. Lots of older people (retiree age) acting as docents though.

8:26 am

EvaNadine

yeah, we had docents at the DC one too...heh...

i was an Explainer in DC -- we worked in just one gallery -- How Things Fly.

i thought they expanded the program to Dulles, but maybe not...

8:26 am

Angelsong

hi TO!

8:26 am

Jera

Oh brother, the puzzle's screwing up for me (keeps saying 1 min to go... I don't have time for that nonsense... later, people, have fun!

8:27 am

Jen

Bye Jera!

8:30 am

Jen

I need to get moving as well... I'll try to get back later. See you guys later. :)

8:33 am

72 Temple Owl

bye jen, jera...

8:42 am

Angelsong

10:40 am

Lupe613

You'd think so - the thing is wired, but it doesn't have the big ball, it's a little tiny plastic ball, with a laser. I am about to throw it out the window (if my office had one).

10:40 am

smaller

ren,
that's way too much personal info
: )
let's keep it at least PG-13 please

10:40 am

Schroeder

*desparately searches post for it*

10:46 am

Judi

Lupe - there is no Ta5/7

10:46 am

renfield

ta 5 = lone ranger's side kick - onlt change the 2nd vowel

10:46 am

Judi

There is a TA5/10. Sounds like the Lone Ranger's sidekick.

10:47 am

Lupe613

I meant the 5 and the 7 - sorry..... Thanks ren, got the 5

10:47 am

Judi

Anyone have clues for the An7/28 and the Ar7/28?

10:47 am

Lupe613

thnx Judi.

10:48 am

Schroeder

Lupe add the sometimes vowel to your 6

10:48 am

renfield

ta 7 place where they cure animal hides.... or it could be a palce where you go toe get a ta* inside a ta***** booth

10:48 am

Schroeder

Sorry Judi, not that far yet

Lupe613

Hi Bugzy!

Lupe - could you expand on the An7/28 clue a little. I found a seed/food coloring that starts with An, but it's not the one I need.

10:52 am

Schroeder

Hi Bugzy!

10:53 am

Judi

Hi, Bugzy.

10:53 am

Lupe613

10:53 am

Bugzy

10:54 am

Bugzy

I don't have the no 6

1:09 pm

Bugzy

no6 - kinda like the absence of paintings, sculptures, etc.

1:09 pm

Schroeder

no 6/18 think about an empty gallery, or a fake Monet would be no6/18

1:10 pm

Bugzy

Would a velvet Elvis be no6?

1:10 pm

Lupe613

Happy Friday Schroe!

1:10 pm

EasternBlue

Bugzy - NEVER! It is the highest form of art!!

1:11 pm

EB - sounds like me. I bought my first painting. I totally fell in love with it and was able to convince the artist to give me a break in the price so I could buy it. Well, it's still in the box for "when I get a house." I feel guilty it's not hanging on my wall...

1:23 pm

nenaluli

An 7/28 plz

Jera - I hope you mean they got their pictures taken!!
LOL

1:25 pm

EasternBlue

*casts a worried look around*

1:25 pm

1:26 pm

EasternBlue

Jera - is that pix from before their execution?? LOL!!

1:26 pm

EasternBlue

Hi movieman!!

Hi Jacula!!

1:26 pm

mamabear

I figured it had to be pics - if she really had them shot she wouldn't be announcing the fact!! I think there are still laws against that in most states!!! LOL

1:27 pm

EasternBlue

Jera - they WERE cute children...may they R.I.P.....

1:27 pm

Jera

During, EB! Gwyd did NOT appreciate being told how to hold his hands just so... but she got him to pose surprisingly well...

1:27 pm

EasternBlue

I believe Jera has gone into hiding!

1:28 pm

Bugzy

Hi Movieman!
Jera - they are too cute :)
*whispers* I feel like getting mine shot sometimes too ;)

1:28 pm

Bugzy

Hi Jacula too :)

1:28 pm

Schroeder

Hi movieman and jacula....
Jacula how is your little one?

1:28 pm

Jera

LOL, I figured you guys would assume medical... not that I don't feel sometimes like lining them up with a blindfold & a cigarette...

1:28 pm

Lupe613

After receiving an e-mail from my son's teacher this morning, I was planning his shooting for after work today!!

1:29 pm

Jacula

Hi all. Excuse my manners. It was the shock of reading Jera's announcement.:-)

1:29 pm

Lupe613

LOL Bugzy!

1:29 pm

Jera

*fans Jacula worriedly*

Sorry for the shock, guys...

1:30 pm

1:30 pm

mamabear

Hi Jacula!!!!

1:30 pm

mamabear

Little one ill, Jac?

1:31 pm

Schroeder

I'm glad to hear that Jacula :)

Lupe does he know his teacher emailed you

1:31 pm

Jacula

I finished the grid in about 30 mins this morning. I'd popped in now to see if there had been any news of GW's new arrival.

1:31 pm

EasternBlue

Jacula - (((HUGS))) to your little one....

1:32 pm

Schroeder

No news yet, we are all kinda waiting to hear. The champagne is chilled......(less the bottle we opened)

1:32 pm

Jera

Gwyd had to stay home one day this week, he had some tummy flu... it's going around at his school...

1:33 pm

mamabear

No news yet, Jacula... I'm suspecting if we hear anything today it won't be until late tonite after he has gotten Kristianna to bed. I'm sure he will be exhausted!

1:33 pm

Jacula

Mama/EB - My little one had a minor op last night. Nothing to worry about. She'll be fine.

1:33 pm

movieman

Anyone wanna help someone (i.e. me) who's struggling with the 8?

Gracias.....

1:34 pm

((((((Jac's little'un))))))))))

1:34 pm

Lupe613

Yes Schroeder - he found out after I called him this morning (he's home today) and was scolding him on the phone!! It was a stressful beginning to my day.

1:34 pm

Jacula

Mama - Yes, I'm sure GW will be exhausted. It kind of knocks you for six when a baby is born, even the Dads. A nice kind of exhausted though.

1:34 pm

EasternBlue

Jacula - glad to hear she's o.k...

1:34 pm

mamabear

movieman - just try and get the 8 out of me!!! go ahead get an at****** and sue me!!!!

1:35 pm

Jacula

Movieman - at8 is a lawyer.

1:35 pm

Jera

Movieman, I love your icon... I had a crush on Daredevil as a kid... now my daughter loves him too (from the movie, not the comic for her)

1:35 pm

movieman

Thanx all.....

1:35 pm

Jera

Has the an7 been hinted about recently??

1:36 pm

movieman

Jera - are you sure it's Daredevil and not Ben Affleck.....lol

1:36 pm

mamabear

Several times, Jera = google this:
"A tropical American evergreen shrub or small tree (Bixa orellana), having heart-shaped leaves and showy, rose-pink or sometimes white flowers. Also called lipstick tree. "

1:36 pm

Jacula

an7/28 - lipstick tree.

1:36 pm

Lupe613

mmmmmmmm Ben Affleck....mmmmmmm!

1:37 pm

Jera

Jacula, I don't get that very common clue, I must not wear the right brand or something...

1:37 pm

periwinkle

DONE, the last few words were really easy ones that I had overlooked :)

1:37 pm

Lupe613

An7 - begins with the an 4/4 (the girls name) + double consonant and a vowel.

2:19 pm

Jera

Yes GoBraves -

2:22 pm

Lupe613

inge - pls don't get me started again!

2:23 pm

Bugzy

Lupe - actually, I was going to give the Spanish clue too :)

2:24 pm

GoBraves

ty lupe...or should i say mucho gracias signorita

2:24 pm

Bugzy

To be fair, I think the horse was his friend too....
;)

2:25 pm

Lupe613

de nada!

2:25 pm

GoBraves

after brokeback mountain, this whole "friend" of the lone ranger thing might have a new meaning

2:26 pm

Lupe613

Bugzy - please don't - I'm to the point of tears over here. Someone's going to walk in here with a straight jacket very soon!

2:26 pm

Lupe613

LOL GoBraves!

2:26 pm

Bugzy

Didn't he have the horse stuffed? Or was that like Gene Autry or someone like that???

2:26 pm

Bugzy

LMAO GoBraves!!

2:27 pm

GoBraves

what was up with the mask and the hearty hi ho silver and all, ya know....i think we should explore this

2:27 pm

Munner

I'm pretty sure that was Roy Rogers who had Trigger stuffed.

2:27 pm

Lupe613

*turns red as she forces herself not to laugh*

2:27 pm

GoBraves

stuffing their horses....ok....more to ponder

2:28 pm

Bugzy

TY Munner :)
ROFLMAO Go Braves !!!

2:28 pm

GoBraves

2:29 pm

2:29 pm

GoBraves

2:29 pm

GoBraves

2:30 pm

Bugzy

Just goes to show there's been crazy stuff happening on the range for a looooong time.....

2:31 pm

GoBraves

Yeah....some romantic campfires under the stars...a little peyote....pretty soon the horse looks good

2:32 pm

mo

sob sob sob ... I cant seem to get the no6/18 and one of the no4/4....if anyone can take pity on an aged lady please!!!

2:32 pm

inge

and I had a dormmate in college nicknamed Silver, cause her mom exclaimed Hiho Silver at her birth.

2:32 pm

GoBraves

I think we may all be disturbed to learn the real meaning of the phrase "kimosabe"

2:33 pm

Lupe613

no 6/18 think about an empty gallery, or a fake Monet would be no6/18 (from Schroeder earlier)

2:33 pm

Bugzy

LOL !
If my kids had been named what I was shouting at their birth, they'd have to get their mouths washed out every time they said their own name!!

2:34 pm

inge

lst no 4 and no 6/18 have same first four letters

2:34 pm

Bugzy

"Who was that masked man.... "

2:36 pm

GoBraves

Can't seem to get the William Tell Overture to stop playing in my mind...

2:36 pm

mo

Lupe and inge thank you both ...i will sort it i am sure!!!!

2:37 pm

GoBraves

Speaking of which, what kind of guy shoots apples off his kids head with an arrow? I mean really....I think you would go to prison for that now, or at least you would end up on Jerry Springer

2:40 pm

Lupe613

I played it safe and used a clue posted earlier - I've learned my lesson!

2:41 pm

Bugzy

In this year's Darwin Awards, one of the winners was a guy who, as an initiation rite to a club, tried to have some drunk guy shoot a beer can off his head with an arrow. Arrow went into his head - ( he survived ). I posted it on BA>

2:42 pm

GoBraves

Good one bugzy. Sounds very Darwinian, as in "let's see how fit this guy really is to survive".

I think Jerry would have loved it, though

2:44 pm

Vicuna

Hey, GoBraves, actually, the story goes that Will Tell was forced to shoot the arrow at his kid by the bad guy. After the show, he put a second arrow back away. The bad guy asked him what the second arrow was for and he answered, "If the first one had missed, the second one was for you."

2:45 pm

GoBraves

Thanks Vicuna, much more noble that way. Worthy of orchestral composition even, I must say

2:46 pm

Bugzy

*drumming the William Tell Overture on her desk with her fingers*

2:46 pm

GoBraves

wanna dance to it, bugzy?

2:47 pm

sherb

I'm not sure I want to be a devil...

evening all :)

2:47 pm

GoBraves

yeah, why isn't someone using a Duke logo?

2:48 pm

GoBraves

Or a picture of Coach K or JJ Redick?

2:48 pm

Bugzy

It has a nice beat ... :)
Jera was a Blue Devil earlier, before she shot her kids!

2:49 pm

GoBraves

Kid shooting

right up[there with apple shooting and horse stuffing...we have a whole week's worth of shows now for Jerry!!!

2:49 pm

Bugzy

Hi Sherb :)
I, of course, am a Sun Devil (even though I didn't go to ASU.)
There are those who would say that Coach K or Redick *are* the devil...

2:49 pm

Lupe613

Hi Sherb!

2:50 pm

GoBraves

2:50 pm

Hubby lived in Phoenix / Mesa for a while - he's a huge ASU fan... It was either that or the NJ Devils, but since they beat the Wings a couple of years ago, I just couldn't do that. And Duke... no way!

3:13 pm

sherb

EB - I need to do some research into this subject... I have no idea what Duke is, lol... I just got the idea from GoBraves... assuming it's a football team?

3:14 pm

Bugzy

LOL Sherb - Duke's a university in North Carolina with a basketball team that almost ALWAYS wins!

3:15 pm

Bugzy

Which is why many college basketball fans have a seething hatred of Duke :)

3:15 pm

EasternBlue

sherb - a college in North Carolina...best known for Basketball (as their 'top' sport) although they're pretty good in Lacrosse too...

5:09 pm

Schroeder

Welcome Tee, are you talking about the RA 6/18 clues?
It means a word that starts with RA, has 6 letters and is worth 18 points

hiya, does anyone have a clue for the no 6/18?

5:44 pm

Schroeder

Hi Chic, think of an empty gallery, or if you bought a fake Monet it would be no6/18

5:45 pm

Schroeder

Or someone said earlier that a velvet elvis is considered no6/18....lol

5:47 pm

chic

thank you, schroeder!

7:22 pm

lalobstah

nevermind. got it.

7:25 pm

Tim

cr5/12?......cr6/21???

7:27 pm

Tim

got em..

7:30 pm

shorty

can I get a clue for ha4/5 I have the one that means in danger please

7:31 pm

Tim

h+ insect

7:31 pm

Jacula

It's an anagram of a th4/5.

7:33 pm

shorty

I dont have the th one

7:34 pm

Tim

hey jac, how about a clue for the ch7/36?

7:34 pm

shorty

got it sorry Tim I didnt see your clue thanks

7:35 pm

Jacula

add 2 letter to the end of ch5/14 - think 'either **'

7:39 pm

Tim

ty jacula, need 2 more.

7:39 pm

Jacula

Tim - which 2?

7:41 pm

Tim

cr6/21 ...and no4/4.. thought I had the cr6/21 but was wrong.

7:42 pm

Jacula

cr6/21 sounds like a toasted bread cube you float in soup. Change the 2 vowels after the 'r' for just one (different) vowel.

7:43 pm

Jacula

There are 2 no4/4's - one means 'nothing' and the other is Latin for 'note' (often followed by the word 'bene').

7:44 pm

Tim

The stats show 3 no4/4s

7:45 pm

Blaze

grerat news and congratsulations to GW and family

7:45 pm

Jacula

Tim - Sorry! You are correct. The first no4/4 is like the 'nothing' word but with a diff. vowel at the end.

7:45 pm

Tim

Its a boy?

7:46 pm

Jacula

Blaze! You've heard from GW then???

7:46 pm

Blaze

Yes... Sebastian I beleive

7:46 pm

Tim

I have the 2 that you posted a t 7:43

7:47 pm

Jacula

Tim - see my 7:45 clue - it has to do with 'nine'.

7:47 pm

Blaze

It is in the log way back this afternoon..... 8:22 am 7 lbs 8 oz and 21 inches... they knew it would be a boy....

7:48 pm

Tim

Got em all. Done and Done ....THANKS....:-)

7:49 pm

Tim

Thats great...I love newborns

7:49 pm

Jacula

Well done Tim!

Blaze - Thanks for that! Must've have missed it. Thanks for passing the news on.

CONGRATS TO GW, K & K AND YOUNG SEBASTIAN.xxxxx

7:52 pm

Jacula

Blaze - ra6/18 - sounds like a type of canework used for chairs etc.

7:53 pm

Jacula

Hi Mama & Angelsong.

7:53 pm

mamabear

I changed to an It's a Boy in honor of Sebastian's arrival!!

7:53 pm

Blaze

7:53 pm

mamabear

hi again jacula!

7:54 pm

Jacula

Good idea - the icon change, Mama. I'll be glad to get rid of 'the red guy' from 'Cow & Chicken' (my icon) as I can't stand him!

7:56 pm

Jacula

REFRESH for new icon in honour of Sebastian's arrival.

7:56 pm

Blaze

yeah....

7:56 pm

Babbler

LOL!!! errrrrr.......... :D

7:57 pm

CJ162003

HI ALL

7:57 pm

Blaze

hey cj

7:58 pm

Jacula

At least we're spreading the news, Babbler. LOL.

7:59 pm

Babbler

LOL!! yes indeed! : D

*refresh* I just got changed.....

8:00 pm

Jacula

Very nice, Babbler! Very good of you, too. It's like turning up to an event in wearing the same dresses, isn't it? LOL.

8:00 pm

Jacula

Hi CJ.

8:01 pm

Babbler

lol! yes! a major faux pas! :D

8:01 pm

CJ162003

ok i must have missed the theme for the day

8:02 pm

Jacula

Not if you both look gorgeous in the dress, Babbler, which we both did.;-)

8:02 pm

Babbler

CJ - it WAS Devils, but seeing as Grey Woulf's son was born today, and he's a good buddy of ours, we have changed our icon to reflect his good news. :D

8:03 pm

Jacula

CJ - the theme for the day was devils (now dragons by UK times) but we're celebrating the new arrival in GreyWoulf's family at the moment.

8:03 pm

Babbler

that's ok then, Jac! :D:D:D

8:04 pm

mamabear

I think I should change - you can't even read the "its a boy" - it's so itsy bitsy

8:04 pm

CJ162003

wow.. that must have been a shock for GW.. didn't he join the world earlier than expected?

8:04 pm

Babbler

I see you Mamabear *peers down chat log*
(((( huggies!!! )))) :D

8:04 pm

Blaze

cj yes indeed they moved it up by a week,,, or so.... all is well in an much earlier post...

8:05 pm

torgone

Actually, it was fairly well planned out, CJ.

8:05 pm

Babbler

a week early, CJ, yes.

8:05 pm

Jacula

Mama - The blue tells us it's a boy and that bear is so cute. Please keep him.

8:05 pm

shorty

what!!! did gw have there baby?

8:05 pm

mamabear

(((((((((((((BABBLER)))))))))) ))))))) How are you sweetie?

8:05 pm

Babbler

but it wasn't a shock, GW knew earlier this week.

8:05 pm

Jacula

Meant to ask - was the post in the log timed 8:22am or is that the time that Seb arrived?

8:06 pm

Babbler

yes shorty!! it's in the log if you want to scroll back. He also got a job today!! A temp-to-perm, so it's good news day today. : )

8:06 pm

Blaze

I am the babbler that started the icon change today... it is so much fun... a new baby needs lots of celebration....

8:06 pm

mamabear

yes shorty - 8:22 am - 7 lb. 8 oz. 21" long - mom & baby are doing fine!!!!

8:06 pm

shorty

awww thats great!:)

8:06 pm

Babbler

the baby was born 8.22 am GW's time. it's in the log about 9.45pm our time, so about 4.5 hours ago.

8:09 pm

shorty

i wasnt on here at that time

8:09 pm

Babbler

I'm ok, thanks, Mamabear : ). My sleep is still topsy turvy, so I feel a bit out of sync with the world, but otherwise I'm good. How about you? Better and much recovered? : )

8:10 pm

evanonut

hullo

8:10 pm

Babbler

hey evanonut! : )

8:10 pm

Blaze

hullo to you too

8:11 pm

evanonut

did someone have a baby?

8:11 pm

mamabear

Hi evanonut!!!!!!
Sorry about the non-sleep, Babbler - your sleep is so important. I feel like I am finally getting better. Still coughing a bit and sinus congested, but it doesn't hurt to keep my eyes open anymore!

8:11 pm

Babbler

GW's son arrived today!!

8:11 pm

mamabear

Grey Woulfe & Kirsten welcomed Sebastian into the world this am at 8:22, 7 lb. 8 oz. 21 inches - all doing well!

8:12 pm

evanonut

ooooooooh - eez it a boy?

8:12 pm

Babbler

Glad you're on the mend, Mamabear! Good to see you back in the chat log. :D

8:12 pm

evanonut

hmmm - q came up a little slow there

8:13 pm

mamabear

Thanks, Babbler! Good to see you too! I haven't answered your em yet, but I will....

8:14 pm

Babbler

no worries, Mamabear. You just prioritise yourself and get better. :Dxxx

8:15 pm

Jacula

Just tried a little icon experiment with a handwritten greeting for Wolfie and Kirsten & family. REFRESH! Does it work?

8:16 pm

Blaze

Jac... looks great

8:16 pm

Babbler

IT'S FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!

bravo, Jac! :D

8:16 pm

mamabear

Very good, Jacula!!!! Can read it just fine!

8:18 pm

Jacula

Glad you can read it! I wrote in in big fat marker pen but had to reduce the pic on scanning. It does seem to have worked though.:-D

8:22 pm

mamabear

Is anyone still working on the grid? I have 9 left..

8:22 pm

boatierra

Can someone give me a defintion for the CH 7? Thanks.

8:22 pm

Blaze

8:22 pm

torgone

8:23 pm

CJ162003

STILL HAVE 52 LEFT

8:23 pm

Blaze

he who does the ch 5/14

8:23 pm

Jacula

ch7 - add 2 letter to the end of ch5/14 - think 'either **'

8:24 pm

mamabear

Oh good. I so hate to hunt alone.. gets lonely in the forest.

8:24 pm

tabbycat

I have two left
ar 7/28 and no 6/18
Any hints would be appreciated

8:25 pm

Jacula

ar7 - one letter different from an7 (the lipstick tree).

8:26 pm

boatierra

Got it!! Thanks all. I just had to look a little harder :)

8:26 pm

Blaze

jac thank you

8:26 pm

shorty

my daughter had an ultra sound done last week and I swear he looks like his little brother

8:26 pm

Jacula

no6/18 - sounds like dreadul paintings, sculpures etc.

8:27 pm

Jacula

Shorty - the ultrasounds are more like photographs these days, aren't they? When I had my kids back in the 80's the scans were blurry black and white things.

8:28 pm

shorty

thats for sure

8:28 pm

tabbycat

thanks jacula...got them both so I'm finished.

8:29 pm

Jacula

Well done, Tabby.

8:30 pm

Blaze

ahh that's done with now... on to other stuff till grid change over..............

8:30 pm

mamabear

When I was icon shopping I saw a cartoon of a woman lying on the table having an ultrasound, and the doctor said "yes, see there, it is definitely a boy!" - the picture on the screen was a baby holding a tv remote control!

8:31 pm

Jacula

BRB, I've jsut got to hand-wring a jumper as the washing m/c can't seem to get the water out of it.

8:31 pm

Blaze

ain't it the truth

8:31 pm

shorty

LOL MAMABEAR

8:32 pm

mamabear

I got so angry 2 weeks ago, I took all the remote controls to work with me!!! That got a rise out of him!

8:33 pm

Jacula

LOL Mama. He had to 'rise' to change channels.:-)

8:34 pm

mamabear

And I "forgot" them in my drawer at work for a week.

8:35 pm

mamabear

puzzle done!

8:35 pm

Jacula

Why IS it that men feel the need to keep flicking through the channels? Anyone know?

8:35 pm

Jacula

Well done, Mama.

8:36 pm

torgone

We have to keep track of everything on every channel, that's why.

8:37 pm

mamabear

I had a feeling Mr. Torgone would defend his gender!

8:37 pm

Jacula

NOTE TO REN (if she's around). I tried to mail you earlier but my main e-mail isn't working again at the moment. Service seems 'intermittent' at best, at present.GRRR!

8:38 pm

Babbler

why, tor?

8:38 pm

Jacula

Torg - but there are hundreds of channels and most of them are rubbish...

8:40 pm

torgone

There's also the minute chance we might catch a brief glimpse of some boobs or something. Also, we have the attention span of a hummingbird....

8:40 pm

Jacula

LOL, Torg.

8:40 pm

helenary

hello all.
I know its been asked a lot but could I jave the clue for an7/28??
thanks

8:40 pm

mamabear

ROFLMAO, Torg!!!!!!!

8:41 pm

Babbler

awwwwww (((Tor-Tor))))

8:41 pm

Jacula

an7/28 - Think An** Karenina (Tolstoy novel) + a stuttered short 'also'.

8:43 pm

helenary

thanks Jac

8:44 pm

Jacula

Brief break whilst I go and check on my friend in New Zealand. She's been signing in and out of MSN Messenger like a loony - the little flag's been popping up and down like billy-o on the bottom r'h corner of my screen. Either she's having connection probs or she's trying to get my attention!

8:45 pm

helenary

second at6/18 and I am done. Help please?

8:45 pm

Jacula

I'm back. She's gone again! LOL.

8:46 pm

Jacula

at6 - what an at8/50 does.

8:47 pm

Jacula

Proper definition is: To agree to remain as a tenant of property after the transfer of its ownership.

8:48 pm

helenary

beauty jac, thanks. The concept of att..... is not used much here..we say solicitor

8:48 pm

helenary

interesting

8:49 pm

helenary

back to the Australian Open now. Womens finals

8:49 pm

boatierra

I know that ATTO is not a word, its a prefix, but that does not stop me from trying each time....

8:50 pm

Jacula

Helenary - so do we!

8:50 pm

mamabear

and one day it just might work, boattierra!!

8:50 pm

Jacula

boatierra - I do the same with 'erse'.

8:51 pm

torgone

..and "oner"

8:51 pm

Jacula

Was miffed 'nonny' didn't work today. ' Hey, nonny, no' and all that!

8:52 pm

boatierra

Jacula and torgone - LOL

8:55 pm

torgone

How about "jart"? I still have a jart wound . .

8:56 pm

Jacula

Grid wouldn't accept 'Jera' or 'Ren' either. An outrage, since they're both regulars!

8:56 pm

mamabear

I tried that word at least 5 times, Torg!! Jart wounds take a while to heal. poor guy.

8:57 pm

hootowl

Evening Ladies & Gents. I see you are all agog on the arrival of Sebastion. Or should I say agiggle? :):):)
I would like the the second ey 4/6 - whichever it may be. No way to tell if I have first or second. It's my last word. Pleeeaaassseee!

8:57 pm

Jacula

'Jedi' and 'phaser' aren't acceptable either. The Babble dictionary obviously doesn't watch films.:-(

8:58 pm

torgone

Thanks Mama. Actually it was my own fault; I tried to block a shot . . .

8:59 pm

Jacula

Good evening, Hoot. CONGRATS GRANNY!:-)

2nd ey: The reddish-brown color phase of the jaguarundi.

Failing the definition, think authoress Jane Ey** and change the last vowel to a different one.

8:59 pm

mamabear

Ahhhhh, I see - you were playing the tackle version. I hope you were wearing your helmet.

9:00 pm

hootowl

I see the conversation has gone to weird words. Everyone else must be finished. I want to know if the weirdos are Britishisms or just persnickidyisms. A word I know is real is dumped as not a valid word - and a word I know is an acronym or abbreviations is accepted.
Any ideas?

9:00 pm

mamabear

congrats on the new arrival, hootowl!!

9:01 pm

torgone

Helmet???? Um . . .yeah . . . .

9:01 pm

Jacula

Hoot - It is just the perverse way of the Babblegrid.

9:02 pm

mamabear

"persnickidyisms" - I think that is my new favorite word

9:02 pm

Jacula

Good word, that. What would it score?

9:02 pm

mamabear

Well at least your shin gards and ummmmmm *mamabear whispers "cup"*

9:03 pm

hootowl

I don't feel like a grandma! I don't act like a grandma! I think it's all made up!

9:03 pm

Jacula

The latest ad for Pampers (nappies) over here is using the word 'stretchification' and I was actually sad enough to work its Babble score out earlier - a 15/264, I think.

9:03 pm

hootowl

But thank you.

9:04 pm

Jacula

LOL, Hoot!

9:06 pm

hootowl

Gee that would be most of the grid. Lets try it at home and see who gets farthest with it. But it's only 16 (I think) letters. Need 9 more. What do you suggest?

9:06 pm

torgone

If I remember correctly ( and I rarely do), it was "Death Wish" Jarts, and my injury didn't even rate a full point.

9:07 pm

Jacula

Hoot - I'm 48 now (not far off 49) but when I went to my first school reunion about 3 years ago I was, of course, only 45/46. Quite a few of my fellow 'pupils' wee grandmothers by then, but, one of our number was absent because (now on her 2nd marriage) she had just given birth to twins. God help her!

Also, despite being all roughly the same age (only a matter of months or weeks in difference) some had preserved better than others.

9:08 pm

mamabear

I shudder to think how you might have played bocce ball!

9:09 pm

Jacula

*were grandmothers, I meant. LOL. Freudian slip there?

9:09 pm

hootowl

I've noticed that the amount of deterioration is a direct to the number of kids. :):):)

9:10 pm

Jacula

Hoot - you're no doubt right there (so thank God I only have 2 of my own and a sort of 'step' one). You were also right about stretchification being a 16-letter word.

9:12 pm

mas

Hello everyone. 5 more to get tonight. I'm stuck on the TA7?

9:12 pm

mamabear

where did Babbler go? *mamabear looks to the right and left..... and peers around the room*

9:12 pm

doxy1lover

good evening everyone

9:13 pm

mamabear

ta 7 - add the sometimes vowel to the ta 6 above it

9:13 pm

dcseain

ta7 is a place that ta6's work at

9:13 pm

mamabear

hi doxy!! you're all heart!!!!

9:13 pm

torgone

You mean "Drunken Nude Coed Fast-Pitch Palestinian Rules Flaming" Bocce? I was first string . .

9:13 pm

hootowl

I only have the one and I have a good reason why.
There was this cute, tiny girl in my class. I met here about 5-6 years after graduation in a store. She had married right after graduations, had 5 kids, was pregnant again and looked about 60 years old.
Excellent argument for birth control.

9:13 pm

doxy1lover

gee thanks :D

9:14 pm

Jacula

Hoot - I know what you mean. I don't look bad for having had 2 kids though.

9:16 pm

hootowl

Woulf said he'd try to get on after Kristiana was in bed. I'm finished and going to watch Monk. Maybe later.

9:17 pm

Jacula

'Bye Hoot. See you again soon.

9:17 pm

mamabear

THAT was YOU?????? I used to sneak behind the bocce backfield bleachers just to get a glimpse.... who'd of thought one day we'd meet up again.. fate.

9:17 pm

mas

Thanks dcseain and mamabear. And thank you Jacula, I just read your icon and realized it was THE announcement I was wondering about!

9:17 pm

mamabear

Have fun Hootowl! Don't forget to wash your hands first (it's required before watching Monk)

9:18 pm

Jacula

Mas - y/w

9:20 pm

torgone

I might have to take a break. My old football injury is acting up . .

9:21 pm

mamabear

football too? what a jock

9:24 pm

torgone

Actually it's hemorrhoids; I sat on the bench the whole time . . . .

9:25 pm

Jacula

So, Torg., you have piles of problems? LOL.

9:26 pm

torgone

Yep. I'm an aggravated a-hole.

9:26 pm

mas

Done!

9:26 pm

GreyWoulf

Hi everyone!

9:27 pm

Jacula

WELL DONE, MAS.

Torg - Yuk!

*Jac cups a hand to hear ear, 'Do I hear the distant sound of celebratory howling?'*

9:27 pm

Jacula

Damn, GW! Your post got in just before mine. LOL.

9:27 pm

GreyWoulf

AAAOooooOOOOOooooooOOOOOOOoooo oOOOWWWW!!!

9:28 pm

doxy1lover

hey GW, congrats.

9:28 pm

mas

Congrats. to your family, GreyWoulf.

9:28 pm

Jacula

wooooooooooooooohawhoooooooooo oooo

9:29 pm

GreyWoulf

Thanks mas and doxy!

9:29 pm

Jacula

That wolf looks mighty proud (but not very grey!).:-)

9:30 pm

torgone

Muchos congratulados (?) GW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

9:30 pm

doxy1lover

so, give us the stats.... weight , length, etc.

9:30 pm

GreyWoulf

Its actually the dingo I found for Australia day, Jac :D

9:30 pm

Jacula

Doxy - Read my icon! The stats are there.

9:31 pm

GreyWoulf

Doxy -- Jac already did it for me

Time -- around 8:22 AM
Wgt -- 7 lb 8 oz
Lgth -- 21 in

9:31 pm

Babbler

me too me too me too congratulations (again!!!) :D:D:D

(just went to get a snack and some tea, Mamabear ;) )

9:31 pm

mamabear

GW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.!!! GREAT BIG NEW BABY HUGS FOR YOU & KIRSTEN & THE NEW BIG SISTER!!!!! Glad to hear everyone is doing well. You must be exhausted.

9:31 pm

doxy1lover

thanks jacula, couldn't tell what it was you had there at first.

9:32 pm

mamabear

Oh, ok, Babbler.... i was looking around and you was not here!

9:33 pm

GreyWoulf

Yeahm just a bit, Mama -- was up til 12:30 last night, chatting and burning off energy -- then had to be up at 5 to take Kirsten to the hospital for all the preop prep -- so it has been a long day -- glad it is a small grid ;D

9:33 pm

Babbler

awwww, somebody missed me! *bashful*
I saw your post, Mamabear : D

9:33 pm

Jacula

Everyone's done (gridwise) here, aren't they? Except Wolfie. We must give him all the help we can.

9:34 pm

doxy1lover

I'm still working on this one. Worked today.

9:34 pm

mamabear

so does he look like Kristianna? You? Kirsten? Or just himself for now?

9:34 pm

Jacula

Doxy - Don't worry, we'll help you, too.:-)

9:34 pm

Babbler

yup, I'm done, happy to help! : )

9:36 pm

GreyWoulf

doxy -- you will be able to appreciate this -- they had a little difficulty (nothing worth getting concerned about) due to the fact that Kirsten's womb is heart shaped

MAMA -- he looks like himself at the moment -- haven't had a chance to really look at him cos they had to keep checking his blood sugar levels until they stabilised

9:37 pm

Jacula

Hoping Wolfie gets his answer in before me, so it doesn't look like I'm interrupting, but... kids seem to go through phases about who they look like or don't look like. Well, it even happens as your life goes on. Have you ever seen yourself unexpectedly, by glancing in a mirror or shop window and seen one of your parents looking back at you? That happened to me in the hairdresser's once, and in my own mirror at home.

9:37 pm

GreyWoulf

A secondary effect of having a healthy pancreas take over from a diabetic one

9:38 pm

doxy1lover

that is a perfect size for a diabetic mom. I'm glad everything went really well for you two today.

9:39 pm

GreyWoulf

Jac -- I have always looked a dead ringer for my father :) When I was in high school, we used to joke that I should go into his job every now and then so he could get a couple of extra days off

9:39 pm

Angelsong

GW: congratulations on your new family! My daughter's wedding was lovely. It's been quite a day.

9:39 pm

torgone

I don't think there's anything more intensely joyous than seeing your own offspring enter the world and breathe their first breaths. . .

9:40 pm

GreyWoulf

Thanks again, doxy :)

Angel -- Glad to hear it!! Congratulations to you as well!!

9:40 pm

mamabear

Congratulations, Angelsong!

9:40 pm

doxy1lover

congrats to you too angelsong.

9:40 pm

Jacula

GW - A bi-cornuate womb can cause probs., but need not do so with proper obstetric care. Luckily, that care was there for you all.

9:40 pm

GreyWoulf

tor -- you definitely have that right!

9:41 pm

Babbler

congratulations, Angel! :D

9:41 pm

mamabear

How true, Torgone! And how ironic that after all the days of pregnancy and hours of labor, it is the DAD that gets to experience that!!!

9:41 pm

GreyWoulf

And for those of you who haven't read my posts from when I was on earlier -- I have yet another piece of very promising good news ---- I have a new job that I am starting in two weeks!!

9:42 pm

Jacula

Angel - congrats on gaining a son and becoming a Mum-in-Law.

Torg - no, nothing's more beautiful than that. I think the Queen song, 'It's A Kind Of Magic' must have been written for that occasion.

9:42 pm

Angelsong

GW wonderful news about your job as well!

9:42 pm

doxy1lover

good luck to you in your new endeavors. I hope this works well for you.

9:43 pm

Jacula

Oh, yes. Sorry, GW, meant to say congrats on new job also.

9:43 pm

GreyWoulf

I will be hired on in a temp to perm position at a battery company -- I need to learn the trade of repairing batteries and battery chargers, once I do and I impress the boss that I am serious and capable, it should be made permanant!

9:43 pm

mamabear

GW- that is wonderful news as well. I came on this afternoon and read your news, but you had just left I was told. I hope it goes well for you, as I am sure it will.

9:44 pm

Jacula

Wolfie - how are you doing with the grid?

9:45 pm

GreyWoulf

when I take the time to look I find the words so I have only 27 to go -- will call for help if I need any ;)

9:45 pm

mamabear

When will Kirsten and Sebastian be able to come home?

9:46 pm

GreyWoulf

Mother and son will be coming home on Tuesday

9:47 pm

torgone

GW - Good luck in the new job!! Try hard and you'll do okay.

9:49 pm

GreyWoulf

Thanks tor -- I will do my very best -- the only bad part will be that I will have to severelly cutback on my Babbling as it is a M-F 8-5 position -- so my late nights of Babbling are over except for maybe on the weekends -- but I will do my best to at least jump on the log for a little bit -- all depends on Sebastian's schedule :)

9:50 pm

doxy1lover

and we all know who will determine his schedule, don't we??? :)

9:52 pm

mamabear

I'm in the same boat, GW, usually only stay on late on weekends, because of work during the week. We do what we can do!

9:52 pm

GreyWoulf

Yep! He will!!!!! -- But given a choice between financial security and Babbleing -- we all know what the choice has to be :)

9:53 pm

mamabear

Yep! Until someone pays us to Babble!

9:54 pm

torgone

Ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-changes! Embrace the changes, GW. We all know what's going on. Do what you have to for your family. That is always first priority. Your real friends will be around when you need them.

9:55 pm

Jacula

If we got paid to Babble, we'll all be doing quite well!

9:56 pm

mamabear

Yeah, and if we finish the grid and then stay on longer to chat... that would be OVERTIME!

9:56 pm

Jacula

Anyway, folks, it's time I was a-sleeping. 'See' you all later.xxx

9:57 pm

doxy1lover

bye jacula

9:57 pm

mamabear

'nite jacula! sleep well & dream deep!
mamabear used a wo-ord....mamabear used a wo-ord.... (there I saved you the trouble!)

9:58 pm

Babbler

see you later, Jac! : )

... and me too, time to go, see you all later for Dragon Day! : )

9:58 pm

doxy1lover

bye babbler

9:59 pm

GreyWoulf

Exactly tor!

On a related note -- being a Witch I cast the runes about my choice (After I had made it) -- The simplest casting is 3 runes:

1st -- where I am -- Movement -- I am in a time of transition
2nd -- what I am experiencing -- Initiation -- I am in the process of undergoing personal tests and transformation
3rd - what the future holds -- Joy -- I will enter a time of positive energies and happiness

Talk about having an outside source affirm your decisions!

9:59 pm

GreyWoulf

G'nite Jac and Babbler!!!

(*HUGS*)

10:10 pm

GreyWoulf

Nice dragon, doxy!

10:11 pm

mamabear

first at 5/10 - he felt guilty of his sins and felt he had to at*** for them

10:12 pm

mamabear

at 6/18 - someone who at 5/10's
the next at 5 - same as the first at 5, but change the last vowel to the sometimes vowel

10:12 pm

boatierra

Put an A in front of several of the TO words. There are also a couple of ATT words. Good luck.

10:13 pm

mamabear

I could tell you what the at 8/50 word is, but nah, I think you'll have to get an at****** and sue me!

10:13 pm

boatierra

OT 5 - A fragrant essential oil or perfume obtained from flowers (alternate spelling).

10:13 pm

harpjane

OK, Thanks! I have all the AT's now!

10:17 pm

Angelsong

that finishes the grid for me.

10:17 pm

GreyWoulf

I will check in tomorrow night -- may be at the flip later depending on how long I stay next door ;)

(*Hugs to all*)

10:25 pm

10:27 pm

renfield

10:27 pm

mamabear

He was always one of my favorites as my kids were growing up, too!!

10:27 pm

Niamh

nobody wanted to be devils today?

10:28 pm

JoJoFunLvg

Mama: If he isn't back at the flip, that is OK. His family comes first.

10:28 pm

mamabear

We were all devils during the day, then switched to "it's a boy" icons for GW.. now that he left, I switched to tomorrow's theme.

10:28 pm

Niamh

ah.. I see that makes sense!

10:29 pm

Niamh

I suppose most of you are done?

10:30 pm

mamabear

10:30 pm

harpjane

I'm not done, 28 to go. I left at 5:30 this morning, drove four hours for a three hour meeting, then drove four hours home, then played harp at a gig, then started the puzzle....

10:33 pm

Niamh

10:33 pm

harpjane

What is tomorrow's theme? Think I"ll go back to devil, for a while.

10:34 pm

Niamh

10:34 pm

renfield

10:34 pm

JoJoFunLvg
