12:07 am

DarleenMB

[waves at chic] glad to see I'm not alone in here

12:07 am

chic

doesn't look like too big of a grid....

12:08 am

DarleenMB

169, big enough. Look at all those K's!

12:09 am

Norad

Hi Darleen and chic, just waiting to see the stats...hmmm, should I start or not? that is the question...is there a theme for today?

12:09 am

chic

I must be feeb... I didn't see that many words there. What coast are you on?

12:10 am

chic

Th 5 is dragons...

12:11 am

DarleenMB

chic, I'm in Wyoming... no coast :-(

12:12 am

chic

I'm Az; when CA drops into the ocean we'll be coast again...

12:12 am

Norad

12:13 am

chic

12:14 am

12:19 am

DarleenMB

Hi GW {hugs}

12:19 am

GreyWoulf

Hi Darleen (*Hug*)

12:19 am

Norad

your welcome darleen, chic pointed it out... :)

Hey GW, congratulations!! How are mom and son?

12:19 am

chic

Congrats ,Grey Woulf on your new arrival! All is well I hope with Mom and son?

12:21 am

GreyWoulf

Doing well, Norad --- no complications other than low blood sugar for him, but that was expected since mom is diabetic

12:21 am

Norad

glad to hear all of you made it thru ok...I logged on just as you left yesterday...when will they be home?

12:22 am

GreyWoulf

When we left them, he was sleeping in mom's arms -- Kristianna is very happy to have a brother :)

12:22 am

GreyWoulf

Tuesday -- just enough time to finish my last minute prep work

12:24 am

Norad

I bet she can't wait for him to get big enough to play with...maybe you and she can log some sleep time before Tuesday then...

12:26 am

GreyWoulf

I'm gonna turn in in a few --- just getting some of my last major babble time before life totally changes ;)

You saw I will be starting a new job in two weeks also, didn't you? It runs M-F 8-5 so I will not be able to do these late nights anymore --- will still be able to play during the week, but finishing will not always be an option

12:26 am

GreyWoulf

another c7/36

12:28 am

Norad

congrats on the new job...we will certainly miss your gentlemanly (is that a word?) ways on the late night chats...but I rarely get to finish anyway...too much full time mom stuff...and I only have one teen left at home...

12:29 am

GreyWoulf

Thanks, I will miss everyone as well -- so you better believe I will be doing my best to play on weekends!

12:30 am

Norad

we'll be looking for you...and now, it's off to bed for me, late high school basketball game tonight and early church youth retreat tomorrow...good night all

12:31 am

GreyWoulf

1:52 am

sprite

Hi FMitch :)
Seems the complete babble gang is busy elsewhere. I have gotten spoiled here, with always a couple of babble friends to play with :)

1:52 am

FMitch

Hi chessy and sherb, I didn't want toget out of bed this morning, soo cozy and warm.

1:53 am

sprite

:D :D
Chessy, sherb! See, there is part of the gang :)
Good news from Woulf? Wonderful! So all went well?

1:53 am

Chessy

is that the first 'Babble baby'?

1:54 am

FMitch

sounds like it sprite, son and mom doing well.

1:54 am

sherb

I work up with work on my mind... hoping Babble will be a distraction...

1:54 am

sprite

I am pretty sure it is.
SeBabbleastian.

1:54 am

Chessy

1:55 am

sherb

1:55 am

I am so glad, they deserve every bit of happiness.

1:56 am

sherb

1:56 am

FMitch

love that sprite. I'm sure GW on't mind.
must get tea, can't function without it......

1:57 am

Chessy

I've just got the tea FMitch, but it's not helping a lot ...

1:57 am

sprite

I have a huge mug of tea here and I can't find any more words than before, so don't bother ;)

1:58 am

FMitch

2nd mug usually does the trick for me, back in a bit.

2:09 am

sprite

Through my second mug of tea and all I keep seeing is 'trophee'. Argh.

2:10 am

Chessy

this one is really sneaky :/

2:10 am

FMitch

I was doing well, found the t7 and was just celebrating when I noticed the k and the fact it has 7 words off it, urgh!

2:11 am

sprite

I am glad to hear you say that, I feel like I have another grid than that which belongs to the stats panel.

2:14 am

dalmatian5

I am finding this grid is not so easy!

2:14 am

sprite

I second that!

2:15 am

FMitch

carried unanimously:((

2:15 am

dalmatian5

Babble has a way of keeping you in your place! Yesterday I did well and was feeling good. Now today I wonder how i did so well yesteday!!!!

2:16 am

sprite

Babble is a humbling game for sure!

2:18 am

sprite

Can't believe I must find 4 more Kwords. But then again, I can never believe there are any Kwords in there. What is it, with that K-otic letter??

2:19 am

dalmatian5

I have been monkey typing around the k and have only come up with three words. You always wonder if they really can produce all the intended words - and then lo and behold they do.

2:21 am

sprite

Also three here, one like a name, the other two anagrams of eachother. And stuck.

2:21 am

sprite

And mr Reeves will not take. :(

2:21 am

FMitch

I have given up on the ks for now was getting fed up with so many "oops", will come back to them later.... oh thanks sprite at least I have one of them now.

2:22 am

sprite

Ow right, one more. The one who inkerits your fortune.

2:26 am

dalmatian5

Do you have the one that we get sugar from but with a different spelling?

2:28 am

Blaze

whew I have the K's done.... do you have the k 5/18 sounds like the things you get in your money change

2:28 am

sprite

I am not sure, am a bit slow in uptaking your clue.
I have 6 now, all 4/8.

2:28 am

Blaze

ooppss hello to all

2:28 am

Chessy

i7/28

2:29 am

FMitch

LOL Hi Blaze, good to see you!

2:29 am

sprite

Blaze, hi and thanks!
Thanks to you I finished those blasted Ks!

2:29 am

sherb

morning Blaze :)

...and why is the name of a city in Normandy accepted?

2:29 am

Chessy

morning Blaze :)

2:29 am

Blaze

hello back to all.... the K's are like Q's to me... yech

2:30 am

sprite

'Cause it also means 'known'.

2:31 am

sherb

apparently, it's also a breed of ducks... you learn something knew every day...

2:31 am

sprite

LOL!

2:38 am

sprite

I found a 7, I found a 7! :)
*stares grateful at that first biggie*

2:39 am

FMitch

WTG - which one??????

2:39 am

Blaze

2:39 am

sprite

The i7 :)

2:40 am

FMitch

oooooh! "leaps back to grid to find it"

2:41 am

sprite

It is sung in celebration :)

2:44 am

sherb

there's a p8 which you might use to describe someone in favour of marriage...

2:46 am

Chessy

thanks sherb :)

2:46 am

sprite

That prefix is driving me bananas, really. Thanks for the clue, I am working on it.

2:47 am

dalmatian5

Sherb - what an excellent clue - thnx

2:47 am

Blaze

it is also some one who's job requires him to work in a local association

2:52 am

Chessy

this puzzle is like wading thro treacle, half way now, time for a break, bbl :)

2:53 am

Blaze

chesdsy I absolutely agree

2:53 am

sherb

later Chessy :)

2:56 am

FMitch

time for me to be off too, but will be back later. Byee for now.

2:57 am

sherb

later FMitch :)

...ointment would have been a good word...

2:59 am

Blaze

yes, to soothe our tired grid locked eyes..., later fmitch

3:03 am

sprite

I really feel empty-headed. Later chessy!

3:04 am

Blaze

well good nite to all... my head needs to find my pillow... see you all tomorrow

3:05 am

sprite

sherb, thanks, got the P8 :) :)
And the U5 that goes with it too.

3:05 am

sprite

Bye Blaze, sweet dreams! :)

3:05 am

sherb

nite Blaze... sleep well :)

3:08 am

sprite

Ooooh! And the P9 and the U8 :)
Same ending, those two.(last two letters only)

3:08 am

Cmith

A clue for the p9/72, anyone?

3:11 am

sprite

Hm, I thought I had a nice clue, but I can't find anything about that meaning in the def. Probably Dutch (to do with having an artificial limb).
One could say it's being in favour of being presented dogmatically; arbitrarily prescribed (T6/24)

3:13 am

Cmith

It's okay - I got it. done. Anyone need any help before I leave?

3:13 am

sherb

time for me to get dressed and do Saturday... good luck, and have a good day folks :D

3:14 am

sprite

Done? Wonderful! WTG Cmith :D
I still need too much words, can't ask for a specific clue yet.

3:16 am

sprite

But thanks for offering!
Bye sherb, have a great weekend :)

3:16 am

Cmith

pr 9/72 means the act of putting a prefix on a word to ease pronouciation

3:17 am

sprite

Well, that certainly clears that def up for me, I was a bit lost. Beautiful clue, Cmith :)

3:19 am

Cmith

Ah, with that kind of misspelling, it is a wonder I ever finish - pronounciation. Night all.

3:20 am

sprite

Which is in itself a very interesting word, btw.
Night Cmith, sweet dreams to you :)

3:21 am

sprite

You have to kiss a lot of frogs before you meet a P6/24.

3:28 am

macadam

Very true Sprite.Morning all.

3:32 am

macuser

n8/50

3:41 am

3:42 am

macuser

4:01 am

Eva

Yuck! What a snarly, nitsy grid! Should never have started. Now I'm caught. I found the p9, but haven't been able to locate the 7 or 8. Any clues?

4:02 am

dalmatian5

There are two p 7's. One is a covered roof.

4:03 am

dalmatian5

Oh, sorry, that was a po 7 not a pr 7.

4:03 am

macuser

It truly is a testy grid.
The pr8 is... in favor of + un5/12

4:04 am

Eva

Thanks for the roof! Keep thinking that french for chest should be a word, but it isn't. Will now go looking for the other one.

4:06 am

Eva

Thanks macuser-didn't have the p or the u.

4:06 am

macuser

you're welcome :)

4:06 am

dalmatian5

The other is p7 is a serving of food.

4:08 am

Eva

Thanks so much you guys. Have them all now. I'm ignoring the k's for now or I'd go insane.

4:11 am

Eva

4:31 am

4:35 am

Eva

4:35 am

4:45 am

FMitch

thanks macadam, yours is fun!!. I'm not really here as I am working but I couldn't help popping in for 2 secs. nasty nasty grid today.

4:46 am

macadam

It`s not a pleasure this grid.Don`t work too hard ,you`ll need to concentrate on this thing if you want to finish.

4:46 am

Eva

still not finding it guys. Is it built from the ur5/12?

4:47 am

macuser

Yes, it is Eva

4:47 am

FMitch

eva yes it does, add the last 3 letters of the ac5

4:49 am

Eva

Would do if I had the ac5(-:

4:52 am

macuser

Eva
It ends with ***key Mouse

4:54 am

Eva

YES! Never heard the word before, but I'll take it.

4:55 am

macuser

lol, it sounds painful, whatever it is

4:57 am

Eva

Can't find a definition for it, but bet it's some variation of renal disease.

4:58 am

Eva

83 words left to find and little hope in sight so I think I'll try to get a bit more sleep. Not a likely prospect, but you never know.

5:01 am

gramma

Sleep tight and don't let the bed bugs bite.

FMitch

adsman for the ac look at the log at 04.52

5:48 am

gramma

ak is a 1 seeded fruit.

5:49 am

FMitch

the ak sounds like a + another word for "eager" but spelt wrong.

5:51 am

FMitch

hay gramma - I was in the kitchen too and must head back there, keep coming back to the grid in the hope I will find another word or 2!

5:52 am

Adsman

6:49 am

macadam

Hi Baggo.Lotti ,baldyman is fine.

6:49 am

lottijw

It`s juggling all the zero`s I find difficult especially when there`s a point in the number aswell!!!

6:50 am

lottijw

Did you slope off to make a coffee then mum???

6:51 am

baggo

well if i could help you i surely would. i'll just send positive vibes your way...i think of everyone on here so much when i'm not on...it's like part of my family missing...

6:52 am

macadam

Yes,sorry about that.Freezing still from the hole in the wall,even though that was sorted an hour ago.Sandra is making lunch for the guys.

6:52 am

lottijw

I know what you mean Baggo.....it`s a strange feeling to miss people that you don`t even know!!!

6:54 am

baggo

i know.. my hubby says i need to get back on here..the other prob was i gave my log on to some friends to distract them during a tough time, and they get on and play, so my game is over, and then i come on and don't see people i know so i get off... :-(

6:55 am

lottijw

Sandra`s a star!!!
I thought you`d taken a while to answer, that`s why i asked. You left your needles last night, i`ll bring them at some point. Lewis has returned and he`s got Louis here for the afternoon now!!

6:57 am

lottijw

Aww Baggo....tell them it`s easy enough to get on as themselves. They don`t need to go pro, they can use your log on to get the stats and go back on as themselves!!!
How is that gorgeous hubby of yours btw?? ;)

6:57 am

macadam

No rush for the needles.I`ve just ordered new blinds for the new windows and the curtains are washed and ready to put back.I must throw more "stuff" out.I can`t stand all the clutter.

6:59 am

lottijw

Watch out the pops doesn`t get thrown away in your clear out!!!!!!! LOL :)

6:59 am

baggo

lovely and he just said to tell you hello...he just came in to see who was on...this chat is so totally amazing..i'm thinking about talkin with dr_god and seeing if i can change my password or something so they can't be me..at least i know they don't chat

7:00 am

lottijw

I did that not long ago and you change your password on "My Profile"

7:01 am

baggo

i must've missed that, i went a looking and didn't see anything...so i'll be off in a sec to go and change that...seems kinda mean, but it's my game..lol

7:02 am

baggo

i guess i was looking for a change password icon...do i just type over my old one???

7:02 am

Gwen

Have there been any clues for the pr9/72 other than act of putting a prefix on a word to ease pronouciation?

7:02 am

lottijw

I know where you`re coming from.....it`s like buying the newspaper just for the crossword and someone else filling it in for you!!!!! Grrrrr.....

7:03 am

lottijw

If i remember rightly...yes!

7:04 am

baggo

lottijw

Hi Eva....not too friendly is it!!!!

7:16 am

baggo

thanks ferrari...i was just tellin lotti, it's amazing how much you miss people that you have never met..

7:17 am

Eva

Nooooo. And there's a limit to my willingness to monkey type! I could say that it's worth it because I'll enlarge my vocabulary, but given the state of my memory, that would be a lie.

7:17 am

SunnFlower

I'll look out for you both then. It's funny cos when I'm in Asda or something I wonder if I could be walking right past you both

7:18 am

SunnFlower

it is stange baggo, haven't seen Anj or Miyavi for ages

7:18 am

baggo

you know neuro is a perfectly good word in the medical community

7:19 am

Eva

ferrari-is that a dog, a cat, or a small dragon?

7:19 am

lottijw

LOL Eva!!!
Ferrari....i`m the same, but we rarely go to Asda!! We tend to shop at Tesco`s in Brighouse or Batley!!

7:20 am

macadam

I`ve wondered the same thing myself.We could have queued next to each other and we`ll never know.

7:20 am

SunnFlower

do you mean my icon Eva ?

7:20 am

baggo

isaw anj thursday, but have not yet seen miyavi...anyone know how she is???

7:21 am

lottijw

No idea Baggo....I haven`t seen her for weeks :/

7:21 am

baggo

okay just because they took me for ages to find the ne4/6 and the 5 and the 6 all go together off that ne4 odd little word

7:21 am

Eva

The grey blob on mine is a komodo dragon.

7:21 am

SunnFlower

baggo

ooohhh good for her...that's where all her time is spent now i'm sure..well i hope he's nice to her..or i may have to cross the pond

7:24 am

lottijw

7:24 am

lottijw

7:25 am

7:26 am

SunnFlower

Eva, a rat, I call them ratty so people don't go ugh

7:27 am

SunnFlower

thankyou niece

7:28 am

Eva

Now I can make it out. A very beautifullly coloured rat indeed. I sort of like them, when theyre not big and feral and out in the city streets.

7:30 am

SunnFlower

she was a little girl called Wonky, and she was very cute and very different from wild rats

7:31 am

SunnFlower

we must have about 18 rats buried in our garden, and several hamsters

7:32 am

Eva

When I was growing up I was allergic to everything with fur and featthers (or so the doctors said) so I had horned toads, iguanas, and baby alligators. Have always love pretty much all animals except for spiders. Hey, maybe the them for one day could be phobias and aversions - our own that is.

7:33 am

lottijw

Best go feed the kids some lunch!!!
See ya later everyone :)
((((Baggo))))

7:33 am

SunnFlower

sounds different eva, must find either a needle or a precipice for my icon

7:34 am

Eva

I share the precipice one!Don't mind being up high as long as I'm not anywhere near an edge.

7:35 am

SunnFlower

me too, open staircases one of the worst

7:35 am

baggo

((((lotti))))

7:39 am

Eva

I used to refuse to do fire drills in elementary school, because it meant walking down the open outdoor fire escape. I figured I'd wait until there were actual flames to see which was worse.

How does one go about suggesting themes?

7:42 am

SunnFlower

I once froze on a school trip round Yorkshire TV Studios, there was a huge open staircase there, I couldn't move. I don't know how you suggest themes

7:42 am

baggo

babbler is the one that does the themes if ya see her on you might tell her...

7:43 am

Eva

Then they're those hideous glass elevators in some posh hotels. But at least you can keep your eyes closed.

7:44 am

Eva

Have you seen Hitchcock's "Vertigo"?

7:44 am

Eva

Does anyone have a complete list of the 7's?I'm still mjissing 6 of them.

7:44 am

SunnFlower

7:47 am

SunnFlower

an7,ce7, ch7x2, ci7, in7, ne7, po7x3, pr7x1, th7, tr7.

7:50 am

Eva

Oh god, yes! And then they're the omni theaters - can't do them either. Went on an amusement part ride, roller coaster, once when I was a child- Don't know what possessed me except for not having a clue and wanting to be "normal" with my friends. Never, ever again!

7:50 am

Eva

Oh, and thanks tremendously for the 7 list.

7:53 am

SunnFlower

my kids conned me into going on one of those swing boats, never again, and worse than that a chairlift on the Isle of Wight. I think it all started with a fiendish ride at Bell Vue when I was very small

7:56 am

SunnFlower

Griffums

No, I'm here very very very late. :) Didn't play last night, went to bed. Didn't play today, should have been working but was out helping place doggies in new homes. Now I'm under the grid pressure cooker!

9:27 pm

Babbler

hi Griffs! We'll help! : )

9:27 pm

GreyWoulf

Welcome to my world, Griff!! ;D

9:28 pm

renfield

hi grif!!!

9:28 pm

Griffums

Thanks babbler, I may need it. But right now I'm not even done with a first pass (have 29 words only) so will dive in and I"ll be sure to holler in a while when I get stuck!

9:28 pm

musicmom

I'm behind too. How about help with ak 5/18?

9:30 pm

Babbler

hi musicmom - ak + a suffix to make it an unsaturated organic compound

9:30 pm

Dianne

musicmom - A + Barbie's boyfriend + a vowel.

9:31 pm

Babbler

an alt clue for the th7/40 - the norse god of war + first person + what you say when you're thinking...

9:31 pm

cybernan

Got the 7, thanks.
The other th 6/24?

9:31 pm

cailte23

Oh I hate rude annoying little 12 year old snots!

9:32 pm

cailte23

Sorry, just needed to vent for a second.

9:32 pm

cailte23

I'm better

9:32 pm

musicmom

ty must have been crosseyed - missed that last vowel!

9:33 pm

Babbler

th6/24 - like your pr9, but drop the pro

9:33 pm

musicmom

I have almost 12 yo snot that lives with me. I feel your pain.

9:33 pm

doxy1lover

hi caitte. Sorry about the snotty 12 year olds.

9:35 pm

cailte23

Thanks. I was playing an online game and people just have no courtesy animal. They are just downright rude at times. I guess I just believe that if I'm spending a monthly fee to play a game, I shouldn't have to deal with someone who's just ignorant and rude.

9:35 pm

Babbler

hi caitte : )

9:35 pm

cailte23

no courtesy anymore*...i'm so frustrated i can't even type! lol

9:36 pm

Babbler

sounds like a 12 yo troll. Forget her/him and join us here! : )

9:36 pm

doxy1lover

just think what they are like in real life. Scary thought.

9:36 pm

JoJoFunLvg

Caitte: Who is your 12 year old snot? ~~ by the way, all 12 year olds are snots.

9:37 pm

cailte23

yep. I'm just happy I don't have to come home to that every night. lol

9:37 pm

musicmom

Cait when they are your's --- you have a little more control over doing something about it.

9:37 pm

doxy1lover

at least you have us to vent with... : D

9:37 pm

cailte23

Dunno who they were. They were just some exceptionally rude person with no common courtesy. Only a 12 year old would think they can get away with things like that.

9:38 pm

cybernan

Have three left -- help please...

pr 7/32
th 6/24 (2nd one)
tr 6/18

Thanks

9:38 pm

doxy1lover

acutally, I've met some adults who are that rude and obnoxious...maybe they were 12 year old in disguise.

9:39 pm

cailte23

lol. probably. Ah well. :)

9:39 pm

GreyWoulf

tr6/18 -- insert an e in the tr5/10

9:42 pm

cybernan

Thank you, GW

9:43 pm

Babbler

9:43 pm

GreyWoulf

doxy1lover

9:45 pm

GreyWoulf

Thanks

9:47 pm

Griffums

Hey, found the fish! They've been gone a long time!

9:47 pm

cybernan

Babbler -- the female Tiger went over my head!

9:47 pm

Babbler

cyber - Tiger Woods is a pr*. Add the french suffix that denotes female.

9:48 pm

Babbler

feminine, I mean. :/

9:48 pm

Griffums

Nan - a ballerina's twirl, minus the I and the U

9:48 pm

Griffums

9:49 pm

cailte23

lol

i just wish i understood the clues. all this letter/then a number stuff....sadly. i don't understand

~blush~ i'm still new to all this

9:49 pm

cybernan

thank you, Griff

9:50 pm

GreyWoulf

You have plenty of time to give clues, Griff! 2 hours is more than enough time to finish -- especially with the clue masters online --- trust me I know what I am talking about ;D

9:50 pm

Griffums

Oh, I've been picking up every word that's been clued - you guys are great!

9:51 pm

cybernan

Last one ---

the 2nd th 6/24?

9:51 pm

Babbler

caitte, have a look at Babble Rules (top of your page), but basically, tr4/5 for instance, means a word that begins with tr, there are 4 letters, and the tiles total to a value of 5.

9:52 pm

musicmom

I think I have figured more words out from clues than from seeing them today.

9:52 pm

JBsAnno

Hey everybody!
Griffums, saw your message (2nded by the new Daddy Woulf!)
Me too, real life has prevented much of my participation in the Babbleverse in the last few days...

9:53 pm

Babbler

cyber - you either need "from that place", t + he5/14

or you need the second part of your pr9 word. drop the pro.

9:53 pm

cailte23

it's all becoming clearer. lol

i'd read the rules but never got the as/1/1 stuff.. :D

THANKS!

9:53 pm

Griffums

hey J
May I also point out that there are some s-head words in here, and at the moment I don't really mean stupidhead...

9:53 pm

dcseain

Howdy, All. I'm down to one: the 2nd an5. Any help please?

9:54 pm

Babbler

hi JB ! : )

9:55 pm

Babbler

an5 - either an + tree from Lord of the Rings (or abbreviation for ***tertainment)

or like the veg that makes you cry, but begin with an a instead.

9:55 pm

cybernan

an 5/10: one letter different from a root vegetable used for seasoning

9:56 pm

GreyWoulf

Cute kitty, JB!

9:56 pm

JBsAnno

Babbler!
cybernan!
doxy!
Jo Jo!
Happy Babblers all!

9:57 pm

JBsAnno

GW - I missed the baby shower (reference: real life) so this is in honor of the little guy!

9:57 pm

dcseain

Thanks, all. I felt like a total idiot for not seeing that.

9:57 pm

cybernan

Thank you, Babbler

Done, folks!!!!!! -- thanks for the help :)

Be back in a bit to help.

9:57 pm

JBsAnno

Okay, need to make a decision -
Put away groceries?
or
Babble?

9:58 pm

Babbler

congrats, cyber!! : )

dc - it's that kind of grid today, don't worry. : )

9:58 pm

GreyWoulf

JB - compromise -- put away the perishables ;)

9:58 pm

musicmom

babble - I hate putting groceries away. Well.... better put anything frozen away.

9:58 pm

Babbler

JB - put it all away..... in 30 seconds... GO! ;)

9:59 pm

JBsAnno

Try to get 150 more words in 2 hours?
or
Catch up on much needed sleep after battling the flu?

9:59 pm

JoJoFunLvg

JB: Put those things that need to be refrig'd tonite and then continue to babble.

9:59 pm

JBsAnno

The fridge is full! This stuff has to go on the porch tonight.
Good thing it's cold in Philadelphia tonight!

9:59 pm

Babbler

JB - this is a very tough grid. It's a beast. We'll help, but how are you feeling, really?

10:00 pm

GreyWoulf

150 in 2 hours with the Babble Support Squad on standby is doable --- but let your body make that decision for you

10:01 pm

cailte23

yeah philly! my hubby's family is from there. :)
that's where we want to move to.

10:01 pm

JBsAnno

Oh, you are all GREAT! I'm sitting here smiling and laughing, and agreeing, yes, the perishables have to go away, because the cats will get into them!
I have weird cats...they like cantalope and fresh bread.

10:01 pm

cailte23

My cat just wants the bags it all came in. :)

She likes to lick plastic. lol

10:02 pm

GreyWoulf

Bread I've witnessed -- but cantaloupe!?!

10:02 pm

JoJoFunLvg

Got to click off tonite, BECAUSE, I am going to the Seahawks rally tomorrow and have to leave her by 6:15am to get to Seattle and send our team off to Detroit. Paul Allen, the owner, wants every Seahawk fan to be there, so am anticipating a huge crowd. I am ready to scream and yell and support our team.

10:02 pm

JBsAnno

but to how I'm feeling - yeah, I can type, but chasing the words through the grid, log, morewords, even with all your help...best wait for tomorrow's grid to tackle it again.
(sniffles, cough) (sorry!)

10:03 pm

GreyWoulf

Have a Blast, JoJo!!!

10:03 pm

Babbler

have a great time, Jojo! : )

10:03 pm

JBsAnno

Go, JoJo, with blessings from all Super Bowl fans, no matter which team we're rooting for (go Steelers)!

10:03 pm

doxy1lover

have a good time jojo.

10:04 pm

GreyWoulf

JB -- don't apologise -- health comes first --- Babble will always be here tomorrow

10:04 pm

cailte23

gooodnight JoJo. :)

10:04 pm

doxy1lover

JB, get better soon.

10:04 pm

Babbler

no worries, JB, you rest up and get better. Maybe tomorrow's grid will be kinder?! : ) xxx

10:04 pm

cailte23

you too JB. get some rest.

ya sound awful ;)

10:05 pm

JBsAnno

caiite,
I really do love living in Phila, the city's been good to us.
My cats like bags, but just to get into them. I can't leave any open paper bags (or cardboard boxes for that matter) without one of them making it their place for a while

10:05 pm

JoJoFunLvg

All: Thx a lot. However, what is this "Go Steeler's" ??? Go Seahawks, right?

10:06 pm

Griffums

go steelers go!

10:06 pm

JBsAnno

(cough, cough, hack, wheeze, giggle, choke)
You guys are making me laugh so hard I'm choking and tearing up!
Thanks, I'll take your advice, and go to bed (after groceries...)

10:06 pm

cailte23

lol I still have a cardboard box from christmas that i can't throw away. If I move it at all, even to vacuum, Pounce gets all pissy with me.
She starts meowing and looking around like she lost her best friend. :)

10:06 pm

GreyWoulf

JB -- my cats are the same way -- I will leave boxes or bags around intentionally just to watch the gymnastics they will go through to fit!

10:07 pm

JBsAnno

JoJo, I know it's hard for you to understand (wink, wink), but the Seahawks actually have to PLAY another team to be in the SuperBowl!

10:07 pm

Griffums

Nanny boo boo, Caitte used a word in the grid...

*griff hurriedly makes sure 'steeler' isn't in here'
or nanny
oh hell just get back to it

10:08 pm

cailte23

crap i did?? what was it?? lol

10:08 pm

JBsAnno

Me & Griffums ( & maybe GreyWoulf)
Go STEELERS!
Representing Pennsylvania!

10:08 pm

Babbler

hey, have we had a My Pets th5? Maybe for those of us who don't have pets, we could post a pic of our ideal pet? What do you say? all in favour say aye! :)

10:08 pm

Griffums

Representing THE FREE WORLD!

:)))

10:08 pm

GreyWoulf

Go Steelers!

10:08 pm

JBsAnno

AYE!

10:09 pm

cailte23

10:09 pm

Griffums

Your kitty's name, Caitte!

10:09 pm

doxy1lover

AYE!! to babbler suggestion

10:09 pm

JBsAnno

...still coughing...

10:09 pm

JoJoFunLvg

JB: You are listening to the east coast. Seahawks have no respect on the east coast. The Seahawks have beat the Redskins and the Panthers, which "were" real teams". We are in, and we are going to win.

10:09 pm

GreyWoulf

So now I am to... conflicted (almost used a word)--- do I watch Fawlty Towers or The Magnificent Seven?

10:10 pm

JoJoFunLvg

Wolfie: You too are for the Steeler's? I am hurt.

10:10 pm

renfield

aye to pets
wolfie - watching a buster keaton movie - free and easy

10:10 pm

JBsAnno

lol, caiite, your kitty picture looks like it's saying
"crap, I did what?"
"and you found out?"
LOL
uh oh, gotta get some water! (hack)

10:10 pm

GreyWoulf

oh and... AYE!

10:10 pm

Griffums

East coast? I think not!

10:10 pm

Babbler

Fawlty Towers, of course!!! : )

10:10 pm

cailte23

oh my goodness!! you're right!

bad Cailte bad! ::blush::

10:10 pm

renfield

magnificent 7!!!

10:10 pm

Griffums

oh, BASIL!

10:11 pm

GreyWoulf

PA loyalty overrides, JoJo -- nothing personal :)

10:11 pm

Babbler

thanks! My Pet / Ideal Pet is in the (hand)bag. : )

10:11 pm

JBsAnno

lol, babbs!

10:11 pm

JBsAnno

True, so true, JoJo - blood or geography will tell!

10:11 pm

doxy1lover

jojo, I was rooting for the Seahawks to get there. I guess I will keep on "Go Seahawks"

10:12 pm

renfield

wolfie - mez said faulty towers....
as the clash sing...magnificent 7's

10:12 pm

cailte23

JB..she frequently has that look upon her face. lol

10:13 pm

JBsAnno

doxy, I understand and support your right to make that decision...
but maybe you'd like to reconsider?
(nudges politely)

10:13 pm

JoJoFunLvg

Oh, OK, Are any of the PA babbler's going to a rally for the Steeler's tomorrow? If not, where is the fan in you? Don't goof around with my Seahawks!! Love you all, but my Seahawks are tops.

10:13 pm

GreyWoulf

Well, Fawlty Towers it is then -- I own Mag 7 anyway... and have it mostly memorised to boot! It is one of my favorite westerns/Yul Brynner flicks of all time :)

10:13 pm

doxy1lover

sorry, closer to west coast. "Go Seahawks"

10:14 pm

JBsAnno

I'd go with FT, GW, because the music from the Mag7
would run through my head all night!

10:14 pm

renfield

we have all of fawlty towers...

10:14 pm

cailte23

I'm a native Texan tho I'm now on the eastcoast...

I have no allegiance to any particular time..cept the Eagles which my hubby loves. :)

10:15 pm

JoJoFunLvg

Doxy: Love you!! **KISS & HUGS**

10:15 pm

JBsAnno

Okay, doxy!
Ready, Steelers fans?
The W A V E starts here!

10:15 pm

cailte23

any particular team*

WHAT is wrong with my ability to type?
maybe I should close the window...think it flew out?

10:15 pm

Babbler

I love Magnificent 7 too. One of the best! But anytime Fawlty Towers is on...... lol! : )

10:15 pm

Griffums

*wave skips 4000 miles to get to griff*

10:15 pm

JBsAnno

I wish the Eagles did better this year too!

10:15 pm

GreyWoulf

cailte -- my household is Eagles all the way, but since they washed out this year we have passed our support onto the Steelers

10:15 pm

Babbler

*wave skips to London, England*

10:16 pm

Griffums

EAGLES? Ptui! Hack!

10:16 pm

JoJoFunLvg

JB: Surprised you are using the WAVE thing tonite. That initiated in Seattle. We are the WAVE champs!

10:16 pm

cailte23

um...gee..can I guess you're not a fan?

LOL

10:16 pm

Griffums

(In my book, being a Steelers fan is the prize you get for being a Pirates fan!)

10:17 pm

Minski

Super Bowl? What's that? I say it's baseball season! Go Red Sox!!!!

BTW -- Greetings All!!!

10:17 pm

GreyWoulf

I will also repeat what I have said before ---- I personally do not know enough about football to make an informed decision about any of the teams -- I let Kirsten be the fan for both of us ;)

10:18 pm

doxy1lover

hi minski

10:18 pm

renfield

it's the new york yankees....YES!!!!

10:18 pm

Griffums

Too right, GW. Because football is all about being informed. :)

10:18 pm

JoJoFunLvg

Min: I will be ready for baseball season as soon as football is over. Who in baseball will you be routing for?

10:20 pm

GreyWoulf

pr8/50 and po7/40 please?

10:20 pm

JoJoFunLvg

GW: I thought that Kirsten was FOR the Seahawks and now I find out you are routing for the Steelers. Am I correct?

10:20 pm

cailte23

Sadly, I must call it a night. I have friends coming tomorrow and I'd rather clean tonight then wake up really early to do it. lol

Y'all have a good night :) See ya later!

10:20 pm

Griffums

10:21 pm

Minski

Ho Hum. If the Patriots aren't in the Super Bowl I don't bother to watch. And the Pats blew it big time this year so it's baseball season for me.

GO RED SOX!!
BOO YANKEES!!!

10:21 pm

renfield

later caiit!!!

10:22 pm

GreyWoulf

JoJo - you are correct -- I explained that to you the other day -- she feels that the Hawks have a good chance but it will be a hard fought battle and She will root for the PA team anyway

10:22 pm

renfield

hahahaha minski...we've got jonny damon now!!!! 8)

10:22 pm

GreyWoulf

She WAS for the Hawks last week --- but that was not against the Steelers :)

10:23 pm

Minski

I know. He sold his soul to the dark side for a few extra bucks. We should have expected it. He does call himself an idiot after all. 8)

10:23 pm

renfield

pr 8 = pr + 4th vowel + un 5/12 (not the tinkle stuff)

10:24 pm

renfield

hahahaha - we are the yankees!!!!

10:25 pm

chic

hiya, may I have a clue for the po 6/21, please?

10:25 pm

JoJoFunLvg

Minski: I lived back in Boston for a year while my husband was in the service during Vietnam era, it is a great city. I have always routed for the Red Sox, loved it when they went to the world series two years ago. Now, they got our Coca Crisp, he was a Mariner you know, the M's were the one that brought him up from triple A. Then,of course, as always, the M's messed up and traded him. You have a great player in Coca Crisp. He will do well for Boston.

10:25 pm

GreyWoulf

add a vowel to the po5/12

10:26 pm

Griffums

Still too many words to go but they're all 4's and 5's now - I think I can I think I can I think I can

10:27 pm

10:28 pm

GreyWoulf

thank you, ren

10:28 pm

JoJoFunLvg

Ren: I have great respect for Johnny Damon, with his hair for women with breast cancer and all. But, he is getting up there in years, the Yanks haven't done the World Series in a number of years, and I frankly don't think that Damon will make it all better. Yes, he is good, but it takes more than just one person to make a team.

10:28 pm

renfield

y/w

10:28 pm

10:32 pm

Minski

JoJo ~ He's a great player. I've watched him. I just can't help but giggle every time I hear his name. I hope it's a nick name. What mother could be that cruel?

10:32 pm

10:35 pm

10:42 pm

Babbler

Zubie, 169. Only 169. (but it's a beast of a grid :/ )

10:43 pm

JoJoFunLvg

Min: He is an excellent player, I said that two years ago when he came up from triple A. He will make Boston proud. Our mgmt for the M's is awful, Coca Crisp should have never been traded. You treat him well, OK. You will love him by the end of next year, guaranteed!

10:43 pm

harpjane

Yes, zubie! GW has great news! The Steelers are going to the Superbowl! (hee hee hee!)

10:43 pm

Hooray GW! (re: not grow up! My sentiments exactly! :D)

The Steelers are the team that is going to play the Seahawks in the SuperBowl. I am in the Seattle area, where the Seahawks are the home team, and when you said you didn't know who the Steelers were I had to laugh, because it seems like everyone on Babble is from or near the east coast and all routing for the the Pittsburg Steelers. So you really made my day.
