12:01 am

renfield

12:02 am

Mooog

Missed by 8 . . .sooooo frustrating

12:02 am

mrpresident

I was told today I was quicker than the dead! How do I take that!??

12:02 am

mamabear

you did extremely well, GW for the short amount of time you had!!!! A very good job, ol' chap!

12:02 am

kristinc

well done anyhow GW, I think my computer has a delay btw (in case no one can tell at this point!)

12:02 am

mamabear

not sure, mrp.... but doesn't sound like a compliment!

12:02 am

GreyWoulf

Thanks for all the great help --- I got a lot further than I thought I would -- I figured I would miss by at least 20

(the fact that Seb stayed asleep the whole time didn't hurt either ;D )

12:03 am

mamabear

any guesses on word count?

12:03 am

kristinc

okay, I just stuck around to help GW and others so off to bed for me!

12:03 am

At first glance, looks like this grid could use a few more r's ;)

12:04 am

renfield

179

12:04 am

mrpresident

put me down for $10... I guess 145

12:04 am

GreyWoulf

179 and the breakdown is remarkably similar to yesterdays :)

12:05 am

mrpresident

oh... ren already had it!!

12:05 am

Mooog

*Hint* Dan Quayle (politician) would have a doozy with this one.

12:05 am

mamabear

cute icon, rennie!

12:06 am

renfield

12:06 am

doxy1lover

12:08 am

GreyWoulf

f8/65

12:09 am

GreyWoulf

p7/40

12:11 am

mamabear

12:23 am

ch1212

12:23 am

mamabear

g'nite doxy... sleep well & dream deep!

12:23 am

GreyWoulf

Sleep Well, doxy (*Hug*)

12:23 am

renfield

12:26 am

mamabear

29 a's???????????????? Cruel.... just cruel.....

12:27 am

mrpresident

ch12... they look the same as eachother!!

12:27 am

Krys10

chalk it up to another unfair Enable/Babble event: won't accept "realtor"

12:28 am

cybernan

I don't like this puzzle -- the e isn't in the right spot and we need another one!

12:28 am

ch1212

I know - scarey! They both have faces that are very similar in bone structure, so morphed together is just ... very, very strange.

12:28 am

mamabear

you're right, kris10!!! and that REALLY is a word!

12:29 am

renfield

A's luv you mama.... there's 30 p's..why do they put peas in my chicken pot pies????

12:30 am

mrpresident

ch12... 'they' look like vanessa williams!

12:30 am

mamabear

because there has to be something green or they would look colorless!

12:31 am

renfield

ch12 - they also look like a daughter of a friend of mine......

12:31 am

GreyWoulf

and broccoli gives you gas!

12:31 am

ch1212

ohmigosh, you're right! I wonder if their baby will grow up to look like this? Frankly, the morph makes them look (searches memory for that word that means unisexual) uh... you know what I mean.

12:32 am

renfield

LOL wolfie...and peas don't.....but why? why do they put peas in my chicken pot pie???

12:32 am

mrpresident

grey... what have I given my poor children!!

12:33 am

GreyWoulf

because if they didn't, it would be 'ot ie' and who would want to order that in a restaurant? ;D

12:34 am

mrpresident

hermaphrodite... that is what they should call their baby!!

12:34 am

mamabear

LOL, GW!

12:34 am

renfield

LOL wolfie!!!! you have answered the riddle!!!

12:35 am

GreyWoulf

Gotta go -- Kristianna is crying -- something she never does in the middle of the night :\

12:35 am

renfield

later wolfie....

12:35 am

mrpresident

... and her nickname could be aphrodite to be kinder!

12:36 am

mamabear

hope everything is ok... GW.....

12:37 am

renfield

aphrodite pitt...?????

12:37 am

ch1212

ANDROGENOUS! That's the word -- meaning no particular sex at all, which is odd considering that individually they are both considered very sexy. Mmm. Interesting. Okay, back to our regularly scheduled programming :)

12:38 am

ch1212

OK Mr. P I must admit, I like yours better -- especially the aphrodite name!

12:38 am

mrpresident

... JOLIE-Pitt

12:38 am

mamabear

good nite, all!!!! See you tomorrow! (or should I say "later today"!!!)
happy babbling!

1:02 am

renfield

good going dad!

1:02 am

mrpresident

grey... that is not uncommon... My daughter got bad at one stage, really screaming!

1:03 am

mrpresident

Then she started sleep walking... opened the fridge one night, squatted and peed in the vege cooler!

1:03 am

GreyWoulf

I've actually been expecting it, mrp -- just not tonight --- you know the one night I am finding the big words before others beat me to it ;D

1:04 am

LeslieAnn

oh dear mr. p... when i was an RA in college one of the... let's just say, very under the influence girls mistook a guy's room for the bathroom and used a chair in his room as the toilet in the middle of the night!

1:05 am

dalmatian5

another f 7/48

1:07 am

mrpresident

I had a sleep over party at a friends hous well ... my best friends dad was sleep walking, came into her room, opened the cupboard, and peed in it!!! We killed ourselves laughing!!!

sherb

2:46 am

sprite

Hi :)
How's the grid today? Found a 6 right away, but now only small ones.

2:48 am

elmer

I have 90 so far and they are all 4, 5, and 6's
It's slow going for me

2:49 am

sherb

most words are straightforward, but there's a few tricky ones to slow you down...

2:49 am

renfield

i've been watching a t-rex doc...so i keep losing my words....

2:49 am

sprite

21, 2 6s and for the rest only small ones. Looks like a rather tough one today!

2:51 am

sherb

only one 7 so far...

2:52 am

sprite

What's the team today? I like guessing, but sometimes... is it faces?

2:53 am

sherb

it's brad and angelina...

2:54 am

sherb

...who I find completely uninteresting...

2:55 am

renfield

i'm a bald pitt

2:55 am

sprite

Ah... not too inspiring ;)
Argh, 3 8s and 8 7s and I haven't found a single one of them yet!

3:05 am

Angelsong

:) found my first 7.

3:06 am

sprite

71 words and still nothing above 6. I am not impressed by myself today ;)

3:07 am

renfield

f 8/65

3:07 am

Angelsong

f7.

3:09 am

sprite

It would probably help if I could stop seeing 'frontal' all the time. Well, actually I am having fun. At least I know there are 11 big words there that I will find somewhere today... the hunt continues :)

3:12 am

sprite

F7/48! :D The one that's a combo with 6/33. There is hope for me ;)

3:14 am

Ho Hum

p6/27 then alt sp for p7/40

3:15 am

SweetTooth

Hello everyone!

3:15 am

sprite

Hi SweetTooth!
Ho Hum, I only have a P6/21 so far. Thanks for the tip :)

3:17 am

renfield

hey ho hum and sweet tooth....

3:17 am

sherb

nice p7/36 - paragon of chivalry...

3:18 am

sherb

hi Ho Hum and SweetTooth :D :D

3:19 am

SweetTooth

Sprite, did you notice that you can get the F 7/48 from the upper right corner and the bottom left? Also R 7/28 from the bottom left and the middle right.

3:20 am

sprite

Not yet, SweetTooth, I am really being stupid today. Not to mention blind.
Sherb, now I want to have 'paragon' too! :P

3:21 am

renfield

nice sherb!

3:21 am

sprite

I just tried 'optain'.
Time for coffee, I think.

3:29 am

sherb

p7/40 and p8/55 - things of no importance...

3:35 am

Angelsong

shertb, that clue went straight over my head.

3:36 am

Angelsong

*sherb...sorry for the typo. I shouldn't try to type this early.

3:37 am

sprite

Found the chivalry 7 :) :)

3:40 am

sherb

another p8/55 - area of land

3:41 am

sherb

woo, my final P uses the Z... :)

3:41 am

sprite

Some strange words there in that P-department. P7/32 too. Starts very cold.

3:43 am

davetins

p5/22 with a z in

3:46 am

SweetTooth

Sherb, is the P 8 related to the P 7/40 that is thick soup?

3:47 am

sprite

One P8 is, only needs one letter inserted.

3:48 am

renfield

mab will like that 5p w/ a z

3:48 am

sherb

SweetTooth = no, it's sort of related to the p4 and 5 that are about peeling fruit and veg... but different meaning...

3:49 am

sprite

Related only in appearance, I mean, not in meaning.

3:52 am

SweetTooth

Thanks for the help, finally got it.

3:53 am

sprite

Do you have F8/65? It is similar.

3:55 am

Angelsong

the f8/65 is a word I come across in my job, believe it or not. I have the p that is a thick soup, but the things of no importance and the area of land elude me.

3:56 am

sherb

oh well, time to get dressed and do Saturday things... later all :D

3:57 am

renfield

later sherb....i should either finish my report...or go to sleep - only....i don't want to- so there!!!

4:00 am

SweetTooth

Sprite, how was your daughter's birthday party?

4:03 am

sprite

Bye sherb!
Angelsong, they are a bit odd indeed.
The area of land-P is (in form) an extension of the soup. Double one for the 7, then insert one for the 8.
The things of no importance are no common words.
Try this: use the first P5/12. Then take E5/14, change last letter and make an overlay with the P5. That gives you P8/55. Then play with the ending to make it into the P7/40.

4:04 am

sprite

SweetTooth: a great success! Daughter and guests were really enthusiastic, as was husband, and we all made beautiful things. How were things on your end?

4:06 am

sprite

Or wait... yours is still to come... or was it mrP's? I am confused, I think... sorry!

4:07 am

mrpresident

it is mine sprite, and still to come

4:08 am

SweetTooth

Sprite, Glad to hear it was a success!
The weather has been beautiful lately which could not have come sooner because I was about to pull my hair out after a month of rain. I'm from California and it was finally getting to me. My hubby is in San Francisco this weekend so I'm babbling the night away.

4:10 am

mrpresident

still no babanon stats... will have to go to bed and get the early edition of babble... see you all then!!

BYE (wave)

4:11 am

sprite

I am single too this weekend, my love has taken the kids on a canoe trip :) Time to babble for mom.
Glad to hear the weather is improving.
MrP, sorry again and sleep well!

4:11 am

SweetTooth

Bye mrp!

4:14 am

SweetTooth

Sprite, are you enjoying having the house to yourself?
Canoeing sounds like fun! I'll have to try it some time.

4:16 am

Angelsong

sprite...you lost me completely, I'm afraid. I still need the E5/14

4:19 am

sprite

SweetTooth: oh yes, I love being alone for a while. Used to go canoeing too, it is wonderful. So very peaceful, seeing nature from the water. Can't really go anymore since the birth of my daughter, so they go with dad and I enjoy some peace and quiet at home.

Angelsong: they are really hard to give clues for, sorry. E5/14 is a fungus.

4:21 am

Angelsong

just found the e5/14, before your clue, sprite

4:23 am

sprite

Okay, I will try another approach, let's see if we can take it from here:
First part: 2 letter word for dad.
Second part: behind, backside, minus one vowel (= 3 letters)
Last part: other word for disappeared, minus last letter (= 3 letters).
That is the 8. For the 7, make greek plural ending.

4:24 am

sprite

WTG Angelsong :)

4:26 am

SweetTooth

P 7/40 & related P 8/55 - a composition derived from a larger work.

2nd P7 - alternate spelling of thick soup, add another t.

4:27 am

Angelsong

I got them, Sprite!

4:30 am

dalmatian5

Do you have a clue for the p 7/36?

4:30 am

sprite

Yeah! They are strange, don't you think?

4:31 am

dalmatian5

I also need the p 7/32. Any help would be appreciated.

4:32 am

sprite

dalmatian: someone gave a nice clue: paragon of chivalry. Think loyal follower.

4:32 am

SweetTooth

sorry, i don't have that one yet.

4:35 am

sprite

P7/32: object that results when an electron in the conduction band of a crystalline insulator or semiconductor deforms the lattice in its vicinity.
(Now you know!)
Start with the P5/12 "from a very cold area". Then use "not off" as ending.

4:37 am

Angelsong

Sprite, I nearly choked trying to pronounce those P's.

4:38 am

sprite

LOL! Glad I am not the only one who's got difficulty with them.

4:38 am

SweetTooth

thanks sprite! still need two more p's.....ugh!

4:38 am

dalmatian5

Thanks! Wow, I hope you looked up that definition and did not just have it at the tip of your tongue! lol

4:40 am

sprite

Dalmatian: I even had to google for its def :)

4:41 am

dalmatian5

Well, that makes me feel a bit better.

4:43 am

Angelsong

I can hardly wait for dinner tonight. I am making homemade enchiladas.

4:43 am

sprite

I always feel proud when my habit of trying all endings on all words results in a new word :D :D
Costs a lot of 'oopses', but sometimes it pays off.

4:45 am

sprite

*hops on a plane and joins Angelsong for dinner*

4:46 am

Angelsong

Sweet Tooth: can you give another clue for the p7/40 and 8/55?

4:46 am

Angelsong

LOL, Sprite..you are more than welcome. I love to cook, and I love making Tex-mex.

4:47 am

SweetTooth

what time is dinner? :-)

4:47 am

sprite

You will have a babble meal tonight, Angel :D

4:50 am

Angelsong

funny thing is, making enchiladas looked easy when I watched someone do it..but they always kind of scared me for some reason. Then, I found a recipe I could work with, and no more fear.

4:51 am

sprite

Sounds great! :)
Got to go for now, happy hunting and thanks for the great company :)

4:51 am

Angelsong

Sprite: I have the thick soup, with the double consonants in the middle. Still need the p that is an area of land, I think.

4:53 am

sprite

Insert a letter right after the P!

4:54 am

SweetTooth

P 7/40 - start with Pa 5/12 add the the abrev. for the state of Georgia. For the P 8/55 change the ending to not off but **.

4:54 am

Angelsong

ty! got it now

4:55 am

SweetTooth

Oh good!

5:03 am

elmer

could someone give another clue for p 7/36 and p 8 55
thanks

5:04 am

Haz1558

I've just found the pa 7/36 - first three letters - word meaning friend or chum, vowel then three letters meaning noise

5:05 am

sandr

thanku haz,i see your on early today

5:06 am

Haz1558

The pa8/55 - use pa5/12 (one who peels vegetables) combined with first three letters of word meaning away or disappeared

5:06 am

Haz1558

I'm 'redeeming the time' while my daughter gets ready for us to go shopping. For groceries, nothing exciting!

5:11 am

Haz1558

Ooooh! At least you're leaving yourselves plenty of time to get in shape rather than trying to 'lose two dress sizes in a week' the way some magazines advocate.

5:12 am

sandr

its the other half who needs to loose two dress sizes maybe a few inches for me(like say 12")

5:13 am

Jera

Good morning, all! Stuck halfway!! Where is brandyjack? Does he think he gets a break on weekend? people are depending on him, ya know...

5:14 am

Haz1558

For pity's sake don't let her read back in the chat log! 22 years on I can still remember my husband telling me that if I wasn't careful I would end up the same shape as my mother. Well - he's now the same shape as his father (very overweight) and I'm NOT the same shape as my mother was.

5:14 am

sandr

5:19 am

Jera

My daughter barely stayed awake for USA to come through... she was struggling...

5:19 am

Haz1558

5:20 am

sandr

5:20 am

Jera

Haz1558

Right, have to go and do the grocery shopping. I'll be back later. Finally found the elusive p word with z in. pl5/22 - sounds like small pieces of land or storylines.

6:13 am

Trotters

Yes, I'll put it away now and see what I get, just saw all those f's and wanted them out of the way. I hope someone else will come up with the 30 p's eventually(pretty plse).

6:13 am

SunnFlower

elmer that f 8 isn't a very nice word, it's the act of rubbing up against some one to get sexual gratification

6:15 am

SunnFlower

trotters, still need 7 p's

6:16 am

SunnFlower

sorry,meant you dalmation, have you found it yet?

6:16 am

Trotters

Ferrari, I still need 13 p's and stalled. I'll wait with baited breath for you to finish yours.

6:16 am

trishtrash

Was someone asking for the f8?
fr8/65 ... drop the p from the po7/40 & add 'fr'.

6:17 am

Trotters

Oh my!!! I hadn't looked at the definition!

6:18 am

trishtrash

sorry, the log has frozen, I see you had it well in hand.

6:46 am

amandacath

Angelsong: I was reading back thru the log, and I just have to ask - if you come across the f8/65 in your job, um... what is it exactly that you do for a living?

7:08 am

Eva

Good morning everyone!

Is there anyone around who could give me an idiot's guide (and I mean idiot) to using my own photos for icons? I have a Mac, and my photos are stored in iphoto. I have no idea how to do this and am very new to the whole digital photo thing.

7:12 am

ja314

Have I lost my mind, or are Brandyjack's stats way off?

7:12 am

SunnFlower

eva , if you go into your profile I think it tells you what to do, you need option 2 then my pictures file and it downloads for you

7:13 am

SunnFlower

ja314, they're yesterdays!

7:15 am

ja314

Okay. I feel better. I was trying to find words that simply couldn't be there and then I realized that there were other words that weren't on the list. So how many words are there today?

7:16 am

SunnFlower

Great! You're missing an animal. Without looking it up, I tink it's a funny looking horse.

Of course! we've had that one before. lol

there's another da4/7 at the beginning

7:41 am

Trotters

Hello, Chris, nice to see you and thank you.

7:43 am

Chris P

You're welcome. Just popped in to size up today's grid.

7:43 am

Trotters

Of course, thanks everybody, missed the not very nice word for a foreign person

7:44 am

Trotters

Anyone got the 3 r's from the bottom row?

7:46 am

SunnFlower

have you got the ro4/4 that means bad plus a consonant?

7:47 am

amandacath

I've got 3 r's from the bottom row, but they could also be made in different directions, so they may not be the ones you're looking for ... does that make any sense?

7:49 am

Trotters

Oh, forgot that one Ferrari, it's an old favourite isn't it. Yes it makes sense Amanda, the ro4/4 list is one but on our stats comes from the right hand side

7:51 am

Trotters

Just got ro4/7 ferrari, Mr Harris from down under

7:53 am

SunnFlower

thx, tried to explain that way to an American once, she couldn't get it

7:54 am

Trotters

He's not big over there then.

7:55 am

amandacath

I wouldn't have gotten it from that either, being American as well. But it's on my mental list of Babble-Words

7:55 am

SunnFlower

just big down under! and here ooooh

7:56 am

SunnFlower

amanda do you know why realtor isn't a babble word?

7:58 am

fit1

the bottom left R is a word that is used to mean throw up. Yuck :)

7:59 am

amandacath

I typed my fingers silly trying to get it accepted, but no matter how many times I tried, Babble just wouldn't take it. Only thing I can figure, after checking the definition to make sure I wasn't imagining words, is that Enable thinks its a proper noun. Who knows?

8:00 am

fit1

I think realtor is considered a proper noun for babble. In my book, that makes lawyer, doctor, etc. proper nouns. But Babble takes those.

8:01 am

SunnFlower

strange that it's a proper noun

8:03 am

amandacath

Enable works in mysterious ways. What's in it is as strange as what's not in it.

I'm missing one e - can anyone help? I've got:
an old-fashioned exclamation
old-fashioned impartial
latin for thus
a fungus
a mistake

8:05 am

SunnFlower

when you work you ea** a living

8:05 am

Trotters

Amanda, have you got ea4/4 to make money working

8:06 am

Trotters

oops, sorry, ferrari beat me to it

8:06 am

rosalind230

any clue for the last fe 4/7 please

8:06 am

8:07 am

caitlyn

Hi all .doesnt bj love us anymore?

8:07 am

amandacath

rosalind, it's a type of p5/12

8:07 am

hurshy

oh, and refresh.

8:07 am

Trotters

Go down the log a little Hurshy and you'll see the discussion about realtor

8:08 am

hurshy

oh, sorry, you just discussed realtor. :)

8:08 am

rosalind230

thank you I have it now

8:08 am

SunnFlower

hurshy we've just been talking about that, it's capitalised maybe

8:09 am

hurshy

no way is it a proper noun. that's crazy, it should be in here.

8:10 am

SunnFlower

complain to dr god, and mention sideshoot and portside and resat and resit and and and :)

8:11 am

amandacath

I hear the exclamation being said by a man with a walking stick and stiff upper lip at a country manor. But maybe that's just me. If that doesn't help it's e4/7 at the top of the list.

8:11 am

hurshy

lol - well, he reads all the chat anyway, doesn't he?

8:11 am

Uneaixoise

fr8/65 french for "rubbing"

8:12 am

SunnFlower

8:12 am

hurshy

lipstick tree?

8:12 am

amandacath

...oops! Not the top, it's the one after making money

8:13 am

Trotters

I'm missing the fungus!

8:14 am

Atalante

oooh yes lipstick tree with a weird alternative spelling none the less!

8:14 am

SunnFlower

ah yes amanda, thanks

8:15 am

amandacath

Oh d***. I hate the lipstick tree. I can't ever get it spelled right. It's an6, right?

The fungus is thus + a consonant

8:15 am

lalobstah

if not, does anyone have the count for p, r, t, u and z?
i work backwards.

8:15 am

hehe...was worth a shot!

9:40 am

amandacath

Hursy - there are more? bring 'em on, pleeeeez

9:42 am

hurshy

no, i mean, there are lots of anagrams, but they aren't words that count. i just meant i monkeyed a lot before i hit the right one.

9:43 am

amandacath

Oh, that's a shame. There are a couple that are almost-anagrams of it, though.

9:46 am

Hey Hurshy ^^ sup, homie? :)

9:50 am

amandacath

the Greek marketplace.

You're back, Angelsong. I was reading thru the log earlier and you mentioned you get the f8 in your job, and I just had to ask...um, what is it that you do? And is it legal? :-)

9:50 am

hurshy

oh, not much. wow, i'm a homie now.

9:51 am

Miyavi_fan

lol...yup :D

9:51 am

9:51 am

Hee hee - thanks Sherb!

9:51 am

sherb

great Miyavi... belated happy birthday to you :D

9:51 am

Angelsong

my job is very legal; I am a social worker; I take reports of abuse/neglect to children/elderly/disabled persons for a state agency.

9:53 am

Miyavi_fan

Thanks Sherb! ^^

Wow, Angelsong...that's really admirable!

9:53 am

hurshy

anyone - the an 6/24 other than the sweater wool?

9:54 am

trishtrash

sorry, Hursh ... an + la5/14 without the 'r'

9:54 am

Angelsong

I"ve been at my job since 1998, which is a LONG time for this kind of work.

9:55 am

amandacath

Ahhh, that would explain it! I hoped you weren't getting paid to do the f8, or worse, have it done to you!

9:55 am

hurshy

danke schein

9:55 am

hurshy

did i spell that right?

9:56 am

Angelsong

nope! my job is to document the f8 when someone else has done it, so it can be stopped.

9:56 am

Miyavi_fan

not sure, Hurshy *has done German in school for three years* could be danke shon?

9:57 am

amandacath

Hurshy - almost. Danke schÃ¶n (or schoen, for those of you who don't have a German keyboard). That an6 is actually a German word - didn't know English had taken it on

9:57 am

sherb

danke schoen

9:58 am

amandacath

Oops! The log doesn't accept foreign letters. That's supposed to be an o with two dots over it

9:58 am

sherb

... a famous song...

9:58 am

hurshy

see, i thought it had an o. but i googled it my way and things came up so i thought...

9:59 am

amandacath

Good for you Angelsong! f8 is definitely only for consenting adults!

10:00 am

Miyavi_fan

aaah, I love German. Any language where the word for toilet is 'scheissenhausen' - literally "house of poo" cand never be bad

10:02 am

Yvo

Mi its Scheisshaus lol

10:03 am

Miyavi_fan

*bangs head against desk* bah! almost there! thank you ^^ I always thought the gist of german was to add -en onto the end of every word!

10:04 am

amandacath

Closer to shi*house - but I like your version better Miyavi (and yvo's right)

10:04 am

hurshy

done. that got much easier after BJ posted. :)

10:04 am

Miyavi_fan

Amandacath, shxxhouse ran through my mind first XD

10:05 am

10:06 am

Hi Miyavi.Hope your birthday was a goody.A quick visit to babble whilst kettle boils then back to Olympics.

10:07 am

Miyavi_fan

Hey Mac! it was great thanks ^^ (is speed-babbling an olympic sport?)

10:08 am

amandacath

Yvo, how good's your German? The only clues I can think of for it have German words in them

10:09 am

macadam

Excellent suggestion.Need heaps more practice to get up to speed though.Not a medal prospect.Besides I`m on alpha and beta blockers.Banned beforeI begin.

10:09 am

Yvo

german perfect

10:10 am

Miyavi_fan

lmao Mac! I could maybe win a medal for "not giving up, even though she knows the prospects of finishing are hopeless"

10:10 am

amandacath

Ok, then here goes:
What bath towels are made of in German - the last two letters + how old you are in English

10:11 am

macadam

Back later.

10:13 am

Yvo

Thanks Amanda got it

10:14 am

amandacath

nix zu danken. Are you in Germany?

10:15 am

Yvo

no im live in a suburb of chicago but was born Frankfurt Germany

10:16 am

amandacath

Ah - Other way around for me. From the States but live in Hamburg.

10:18 am

Yvo

have a girlfriend living in Hamburg been there a couple of times,its a nice city with a lot of history

10:21 am

Miyavi_fan

wow...it must be great to be able to speak two languages fluently! I speak bits of french, bits of german (er...or not o_o) and I write Japanese (hiragana, anyway), but I'm nowhere near fluent!

10:21 am

amandacath

Yeah, it's ok if you can deal with the winters. Although Chicago winters are just as bad, I suppose. What does your girlfriend do here? Maybe I know her...

10:24 am

amandacath

Miya - it has it's advantages. Although I tend to say I speak 2 half-languages. After a while they kinda get mixed up. Especially when I get irate at Babble for not accepting what I type in, until I remember it's a German word and not an English one.

10:25 am

Yvo

she lives on Anderson Ring her name is Linda Schuppan

10:25 am

Miyavi_fan

thats what I do sometimes...I ended up having a (one sided) shouting match with my 'pooter because babble didn't accept kasa or yume...(umbrella and dream)

10:27 am

periwinkle

Hi, Everyone!!!!

10:28 am

amandacath

Nope, Yvo - haven't run into her. But you never know!

10:28 am

Miyavi_fan

Hey Peri! How are you?

10:28 am

Yvo

mi Just knowing Japanese is quite an acomplishment its a hard one to learn

10:28 am

amandacath

Today's puzzle would be great for German words - there's alot of them in there

10:29 am

Yvo

Amanda i think weatherwise its about the same ,however we had a mild Winter so far , but who knows whats to come

10:30 am

amandacath

I second Yvo, Miya. Hats off!

10:30 am

Miyavi_fan

well...I don't know much of it, speaking-wise...and my kanji is a mess. Pretty much all I can unravel is hiragana :/ A work in progress!

10:31 am

Hi,Miyavi_fan, doing well here. Waiting for a big snowstorm and not happy about it. Pigging out on guacamole with salsa and whole grain tortilla chips :)

10:33 am

Miyavi_fan

*basks in praise* XD

oooh...Peri...my envy-waves are now radiating through your computer screen!

10:33 am

amandacath

Actually I think Chicago winters are probably worse - we get a bit of the tail-end of the Gulf Stream, so it generally doesn't get as cold here as in the midwest US. It's the lack of daylight that really gets me. I don't know how Scandanavians manage!

10:34 am

Miyavi_fan

Does Norway count as part of Scandanavia? (asks the girl who's doing a GCSE in geography) if so, I may not be able to see to ski :/

10:34 am

ExWren

I don't have any aptitude for languages, except that I often have to sing them. I have sung in Latin, French, German, Maori, Hungarian and Maltese to name a few, but they are all learnt 'parrot' fashion.

10:35 am

Yvo

btw p is a word i just found

10:37 am

Miyavi_fan

Wow, Wren! That's part of the way I learn Japanese, through singing! (even though I'm a visual learner...weird -_-) When did you sing in Maori?!

10:38 am

amandacath

He's right, Wren. Tsk, tsk! Yeah, Miya, Norway is Scandanavia, but it must be light enough to ski there since so many skiers come from there. Dunno, and don't plan to find out - I'm as far north as I'm ever going to go!

Ex-Wren, your profile reminds me of the character Dame Judy Dench plays on "As Time Goes By" -- we get the program here in the states and it's our favorite show each week. Just had to mention that, in case you had not seen the program. Produced in Brittain.

10:43 am

Yvo

Bye for now ,fixing Lunch

10:44 am

Well it's certainly a good reason to go, Wren! As in "Dear Sir, I would very much like to sing for you in your language, so may I please have an all-expenses paid round trip?" Worth a try...

hi doxy!!!

2:46 pm

doxy1lover

hi mamabear

2:47 pm

smithchick

Slow today. Got off to a late start. Life intruded upon my babbling.

2:47 pm

EvaNadine

is it excusable to kill someone if they ruin your birthday plans??

2:48 pm

doxy1lover

isn't that the way it goes. I just got back from shopping. Bought what I needed to make baby's christening dress.

2:48 pm

mamabear

I think it's punishable in some states, eva - where do you live?

2:48 pm

doxy1lover

evan, most definately!!!

2:48 pm

Anj

...right up there with crime of passion EvaN : )

Er, not good news then... ?

2:50 pm

smithchick

Sure, extenuating circumstances and all of that. It would probably be a short sentence...

2:50 pm

mamabear

how cool, doxy! I crocheted a christening gown, bonnet, booties and blanket for my middle daughter!!! What fun!

2:50 pm

EvaNadine

same girl who flaked on me a few months ago...was supposed to go to see the band with me tonight...just called AT THE TIME WE WERE SUPPOSED TO BE LEAVING to say she cant risk getting snowed out there cause shes got too much to do tomorrow

2:51 pm

doxy1lover

I would go with you if I could. Who were you going to go see?

2:51 pm

Anj

...guess she sorta lives life on the edge : /

Any favours you can call in?

2:51 pm

mamabear

Oh evanadine, that's AWFUL!!! Yes, definitely justifiable homicide! I wish I could go with you!!!

2:52 pm

EvaNadine

the only other friend who wants to go cant leave til late and its a few hours to get there

2:54 pm

smithchick

That's the pits! Ask an acquaintance you'd like to get to know better. Maybe you'll make a good friend on the drive over and can forsake the fair-weather friend.

2:54 pm

72 Temple Owl

hello everyone in babbleland...where it never snows and i won't have to shovel a foot of the white stuff...:D

2:54 pm

Anj

How about friends who are available? Must a be a gig-buddy about somewhere? Someone who is twiddling their thumbs at home and hoping for some excitement : )

2:54 pm

hello temple owl wish it would snow here

2:54 pm

EvaNadine

no one else i know could go

2:55 pm

Hey, temple. We ended up not getting any snow that stuck. My kids were not happy.

2:55 pm

doxy1lover

hi temple. BBS, have to change a diaper.

2:55 pm

Anj

Aww EvaN...there must be someone : ) Next door neighbour?

What band are you going to see?

2:55 pm

72 Temple Owl

uh oh evaN...snow screwed up your plans?

2:55 pm

mamabear

Hi Temple! It's snowing like the dickens here, too!
Evanadine - is there someone "along the way" that you could pick up to go with you?

2:56 pm

Anj

Hi T-Owl : )

2:56 pm

EvaNadine

just my friends band...

absolutely no one else...id asked everyone in the first place. even the BF has other plans tonight -- he made them since i had plans + now hes busy.

2:58 pm

mamabear

Hey Anj - let Evanadine borrow your mascara so that she can bat those LONG lashes at the BF.... so he changes his plans & goes with her!!!!!

2:59 pm

ruthy

thats me all finished. how u doing sha?

2:59 pm

Anj

It's a long drive on your own : /
What's the weather like??

2:59 pm

its why i wanted to leave earlier...

3:00 pm

Anj

Yay Ruthy : )

Mama, good plan : D

3:00 pm

72 Temple Owl

how far is it, evaN? can you go it alone - maybe stay over somewhere?

3:01 pm

smithchick

Yay, ruthy!!!!

3:01 pm

Anj

Mama, it's the act of rubbing. Could be brass...could be... but probably not ; )

3:01 pm

sha

need 65 words ruthy

3:02 pm

EvaNadine

was planning on staying over anyway cause its 2 1/2 hours away...dont wanna go alone though -- had to do that last time they were in town cause the same friend flaked on me then too

3:02 pm

mamabear

Alrighty then, Anj hand over the mascara to Evanadine..... Evanadine, make them REALLY long.... real "Battable".... (is the BF persuadable?) Long lashes, maybe throw in a tear for effect? Whatdaya think?

3:02 pm

Anj

That's my thought T-Owl...

EvaN, if you do decide to go make sure the roads are clear and speak to your friend in the band before you leave to check that they will deffo be there...you could even angle for a place to stay for the night in case the snow decides to stick...

3:02 pm

sha

doesnt sound like 2 good a friend evandine

3:02 pm

Hi quick! : )

3:58 pm

gramma

Well...I was considerably older than the crowd, but they were good to me. Age has it's advantages. These young girls would tell me "oh, that guy is so cute". I would just amble over and engage them in conversation. Usually starting with " you look familiar. I think I know your parents" They'd open right up and I'd introduce the girls and the rest is history. It kinda sounds like I was a pimp, but; it really wasn't like that. I was just facilatating. And of course I was into a wee bourbie ;)

Debberzz

hhhmmm...I put in the word for a person who sells property and homes & it says it's not a valid word. I didn't think that was a proper name. Weird.

5:06 pm

Haz1558

Deb - that has been remarked on before in the log. No-one knows why it isn't accepted.

5:06 pm

doxy1lover

sorry deb, it won't accept realtor

5:06 pm

mamabear

yes, Debberzz - that was noticed early on in the grid... weird, huh?

5:07 pm

Norma

thanks Haz and everyone for your help - it is a great chatroom

5:07 pm

Blaze

DEB me too.... alas alac it is babble land

5:07 pm

Debberzz

doxy, is that an American spelling or something?

5:08 pm

harpjane

Actually, if you notice, the word Realtor is always capitalized, and has a trademark symbol after it! Useless trivia!

5:09 pm

doxy1lover

have no idea

5:09 pm

EasternBlue

Deb...the creator is American...uses the "Enable" dictionary...every once in a while you just get words you think should be in there, but aren't....

5:09 pm

Debberzz

harpjane, that explains it then! Thanks!

5:09 pm

doxy1lover

hi harpjane

5:12 pm

mamabear

hi musicmom!

5:13 pm

sandy211

short of a da4/7 , help please

5:13 pm

musicmom

Haz, this is a middle school (6th grade - 8th grade) social dance for Valentines Day. They will have a dj playing pop music. The girls will giggle and the boys will stare and everyone will have a great time.

5:13 pm

Haz1558

Add the command 'Leave' to get a less than complimentary word.

5:13 pm

harpjane

Oh. That reminds me. What's today's theme? I haven't played for a while. Angelbuns was my birthday gift to evandine, and/or "mythical creatures...."

5:13 pm

Chessy

Mama, it's a slang and disparaging word for Spanish or Italian person ...

5:14 pm

Norma

da4/ I think americans call mexicans this

5:14 pm

mamabear

thanks Haz! Now I know why it's not in a2z!

5:14 pm

Haz1558

So it's not the full evening dress, fake tan, make-up, stretch limo night?

5:14 pm

harpjane

I'm off to church now. Later.

5:14 pm

ch1212

norma, it's a slang term for Italians -- old world derogatory for immigrants from Italy

5:15 pm

Wow, harpjane, with that icon, Church seems appropriate :0)

Isn't it strange how fashions come around again - velvet blazers were so fashionable in the 70's and now they're back!

5:16 pm

Norma

Thanks Chessy

5:17 pm

musicmom

Yep my daughter is a decided jock --- usually work out clothes is her favorite dress. But she picked this blazer out at Christmas time with a gift certificate. it makes her look so grown up :-(

5:17 pm

Norma

thanks everyone i don't manage it very often so it is ""Fireworks""

5:19 pm

Haz1558

Well, I hope she has a good time anyway. The dress up dances are something of a nightmare. Start saving!

5:20 pm

Chessy

... and now all my little squares are grey - nite all :)

5:20 pm

musicmom

I know! My best friend's daughter went to a dance last weekend and the dress was $90.00 and the shoes were $30 and the nails.... and the hair..... and the dinner..... UGH!

Well done Chessy/Norma etc! I'm ages behind...

5:20 pm

EasternBlue

congrats & good night Chessy!!

5:21 pm

Haz1558

School dances used to be relatively tame affairs. Then the craze started for full make-up, hair appointments, flowers for mothers, stretch limousines etc. We blame the American influence, of course!

5:22 pm

musicmom

<grin> Of course.......

5:25 pm

mamabear

5:44 pm

5:44 pm

Well, it's Saturday... that helps. But the transmission place is closed today so I won't even KNOW what's wrong with my car until Monday. And that means getting to work and back will be tricky also... but THIS grid'll take your mind off ANYTHING!

EB thank you so much!

7:03 pm

7:04 pm

mamabear

"Fairy of Dreams"..... I like that! I LOVE dreams!

7:05 pm

EvaNadine

"we are the music makers, and we are the dreamers of dreams."

7:06 pm

EasternBlue

mama - like your poem....

I think that would make a marvelous picture book by the way!!

7:06 pm

musicmom

I love that quote. I used to have it hanging in my jr. high choir room.

7:06 pm

mamabear

evanadine - have you read my Dreams poem in my bio?

7:06 pm

mamabear

EB - yes I think you are right!!! Wonder how I would go about that? I don't even know how I could get the POEM published...

7:08 pm

EvaNadine

lovely mama!

7:08 pm

EasternBlue

eva & musicmom -

I love that quote too...

My jr high orchestra teacher had it hanging in her room too...

7:08 pm

mamabear

thank you!

7:09 pm

EasternBlue

who said that quote??

7:10 pm

musicmom

mama that is a beautiful poem. It would make a wonderful children's book. Don't know how to go about it though. I think the company I do direct sales for should buy it from you. We do books, cds and manipulatives for children.

7:10 pm

EvaNadine

7:10 pm

mab

8:06 pm

mamabear

8:06 pm

renfield

wasn't the us pair beautiful!!!

8:06 pm

musicmom

Mama - my husband was just asking the same question. <g> But then again why do we clean our houses when they just get dirty again. We could use the same reasoning.

8:07 pm

72 Temple Owl

8:07 pm

musicmom

8:10 pm

musicmom

Finally found the on I was looking for a 7 instead of a 6. Sheesh. thanks for the help.

8:11 pm

mamabear

How anyone can spin in the air like that and land on ice skates is beyond me!

8:12 pm

musicmom

this chinese skater is making me nervous

8:12 pm

72 Temple Owl

need a break - bbl!

8:13 pm

renfield

the 2nd chinese group?

8:13 pm

renfield

i mean the 2nd chinese pair?

8:14 pm

musicmom

Yes because of his ankle. I don't know that I would have trusted him to throw me up in the air like that. EEK!

8:14 pm

mamabear

yes - the couple whose man has a torn achilles

8:16 pm

renfield

me either - mez had to have his achilles grafted and he has never walked the same since....

8:20 pm

musicmom

lo 5?

8:20 pm

Vicuna

lo5- sounds like Caesar's wreath (girl's name), but spelled lo

8:21 pm

mamabear

lo 5 = l + or 4

8:22 pm

musicmom

ty thought I had tried that

8:23 pm

Vicuna

You probably had. There's absolutely no doubt that sometimes it sneakily refuses to admit that you typed in a word before!

8:23 pm

musicmom

Thanks Vicuna that makes me feel better<G>

8:25 pm

mamabear

It happens to me, too, mm!

8:26 pm

renfield

me too also as well!!!!

8:27 pm

musicmom

Ahhhhhh so it's the grid's fault.

8:27 pm

mamabear

most definitely! nasty grid... nasty, nasty grid!

8:28 pm

renfield

right - never us...no not us -we are so goooddddd 8)

8:28 pm

musicmom

I love this line of reasoning.

8:29 pm

Vicuna

Well, come on. You KNOW it's true!

8:29 pm

musicmom

Of course it is true.I would hang out with people who aren't most excellent wordsters.

8:29 pm

EasternBlue

in the comics today, Cathy reasoned that it was the chocolate's fault she at it...I completely understood her logic!! : )

8:30 pm

mamabear

Well of course... you can't just go around teasing a person like that and not expect them to eat you!
(oooohh, that sounded bad, didn't it?)

8:30 pm

musicmom

Oh most definitely Eb.

8:30 pm

renfield

you know it's true - WE didn't ask for chocolate -

8:30 pm

EasternBlue

ooops...ate it...

yeesh!! typing it not my forte today!!

8:31 pm

EasternBlue

mama - ROFL!!!

8:32 pm

Vicuna

I think I just heard some chocolate calling out. It was very clearly saying "Come and get me!"

8:33 pm

mamabear

There ya go! Real life proof even as we speak!

8:33 pm

EasternBlue

Like Alice in Wonderland....

8:33 pm

renfield

my chocolate begged me to take it out of it's warpper...so i did...

8:34 pm

Vicuna

It's really only kindness to do the poor chocolate favor sometimes. (Did I say "sometimes"? I meant "always.")

8:35 pm

renfield

always vicuna...always....

8:36 pm

mamabear

Lookie what I did:

musicmom

Go Vicuna

8:38 pm

Vicuna

Musicmom, what are you making? I'm working on quilts for my kids.

8:38 pm

EasternBlue

Woo Hoo Vicuna!!!

8:38 pm

renfield

way to go vicuna!!!

8:39 pm

kristinc

hooray vicuna!

8:39 pm

musicmom

I am handquilting a quilt of 30 - 12" blocks that I swapped with people on the internet back in 1997. This quilt is for me and has been on the back burner for a LONG time. I want to get it done before Spring hits hard.

8:39 pm

mamabear

Good job Vicuna!!!! And this was a toughie!!!
Welcome back, kristinc!

8:40 pm

mamabear

That sounds beautiful, mm!! Quilting is the one craft (besides stained glass) that I have never tried. Maybe someday.

8:40 pm

EasternBlue

hint for the ga 5/20?? pretty please with chocolate on top???

8:41 pm

Vicuna

Oh I'm impressed by handquilting! I like the piecing but I actually don't like the quilting part of quilting. I always do machine quilting, and as little as I can get away with.

8:41 pm

musicmom

I really love it. I finished one for Hannah (my 5 yo) and one for my Grandma at Christmas time. Grandma's was machine quilted by a friend but I did the piecing. Babbling has distracted me from quilting.

8:41 pm

mamabear

ga 5/10 = ga + cons + hey, cutie do you come here **ten?

8:42 pm

EasternBlue

I'd love to learn quilting sometime...no space in my apartment right now, but once I can get a house....craftworld here i come!!

8:42 pm

Vicuna

ga5/20- variant spelling of a Yiddish word for scoundrel. Ends with the 4-pt consonant

8:42 pm

kristinc

mm, I have nothing in my scrapbook from August 05 on...hmm...about the time I started babble-go figure!

8:42 pm

musicmom

Actually, I started babbling because I was having trouble with my arm while I was practicing for last week's gig so much. I've been resting it all week and it finally feels like I can start again. I'm only quilitng for an hour tonight though. I want to take baby steps.

8:43 pm

Vicuna

Yeah, me too. Babble distracts me from all the things I could be doing. But to be fair, quilting distracts me from Babble, too!

8:43 pm

musicmom

eb I quilt in a hoop instead of a frame because of the space issue.

8:43 pm

musicmom

Okay. I need to babble or I'm still going to have 41 words 25 minutes from now. Can I have clues for er 5/14 and 5/10?

8:43 pm

EasternBlue

musicmom - I'd have to take a class first...I've only done a little sewing...

8:44 pm

mamabear

I used to do so much and so many different kinds of crafts. Have a whole room in the downstairs dedicated to it. Since I started working full time though, I have neglected all of it. Except for an occasional crocheted hat or scarf here and there... or baby blanket gift or something.

8:44 pm

musicmom

Come visit. I'll teach you. I've taught others.

8:44 pm

mamabear

er 5/14 - er + how many words you *** (or have)

8:45 pm

kristinc

My husband (he's kind of crafy to begin with) even gets into quilting because he likes to help me plot out the square paper or on the computer...so that is kind of fun.

8:45 pm

mamabear

I would LOVE to learn, musicmom!

8:45 pm

musicmom

Yep my husband helped me design a quilt that looks like a chess board for our room.

8:45 pm

Vicuna

er5/14 - a disease that infects rye (I think?) and makes it poisonous. Add a consonant to er4/6
er5/10 - it would be a grave er- to eat poisonous rye

8:46 pm

mamabear

mm & kristinc - that is SO cool that your husbands get involved. I envy you.

8:46 pm

EasternBlue

I don't quite see my hubby doing that...he leaves the 'creative' stuff to me....

8:46 pm

kristinc

Yep...I always promise him I"ll never tell anyone...oops and i did!

8:47 pm

EasternBlue

*whispers to kristin*

we'll never tell!!

8:47 pm

mamabear

er 5/10 - when you do something wrong, it is an er*** on your part

8:47 pm

musicmom

Thanks for the clues ladies. I'm serious. We could have a babble free weekend of sewing at my house. I have a guest room and extra sewing machines.

8:48 pm

Vicuna

Kristinc- there's actually quite a tradition of male quilters through history. They tend to go for designs with bragging value, like the most patches in the world, or something like that.

8:48 pm

mamabear

how far are you from Chicago, musicmom?

8:48 pm

kristinc

okay...focus.
Howz about the two re 5/14s? (I have the first 6/24 but not the second)

8:48 pm

musicmom

heheh that's true Vicuna. Or the quilt that uses all the blue fabric it is possible to find.

8:48 pm

EasternBlue

kristin -

re 5 -
kings & queens....

8:49 pm

kristinc

vicuna...really? That is great! I'll tell him.

8:49 pm

musicmom

Mama - I'm about 8 hours. But if you're in Chicago I'll come to you! I've always wanted to come there. Greg has been but I haven't.

8:49 pm

mamabear

re 5/14's
1. think royal OR re + another 3 letter word for girl
2. same first three letters and what we call cybernan for short, minus the last n

8:50 pm

kristinc

thanks EB!

8:50 pm

EasternBlue

I'm a bit far from Chicago & So. Ohio...not sure if I'd be able to make it!!

8:50 pm

kristinc

thanks mama!

8:50 pm

Vicuna

re5/14 - royal
re5/14 - related to latin for queen, or to rule
re6 - add a consonant to the previous, to make it adj.

8:51 pm

mamabear

the second re 6/24 - add an l to the last re 5

8:51 pm

Vicuna

Oh, I see skating's back on, so I'm off to watch a bit. Goodnight!

8:52 pm

kristinc

thanks folks!

8:52 pm

9:11 pm

EasternBlue

9:11 pm

mamabear

fl 7 - what you do in water to stay on top of it, minus the a + how old you are

9:12 pm

Jacula

LOL, Mama. Okay, you can have a jammy cookie.

9:12 pm

9:35 pm

I didn't find those biggies until this afternoon sometime WITH clues, I might add.

9:36 pm

GreyWoulf

I have 66 to go, Mama -- oh and the reason why Kristianna was crying this AM was that she had her 1st ever nightmare -- all resolved fairly quickly, but you werre gone when I got back on :)

Yes I was... neck was hurting and I went to bed. But I scrolled back through the log this morning when I came back on to see what happened... I felt better knowing you came back on and she was ok. Poor thing. Dreams are wonderful... bad dreams are not.

9:38 pm

There are all kinds of "rooms"... there are a lot of Social Rooms that have numbers. We could pick a number and just all go to that room at a certain time and find each other. Like one day when the grid is small, or something.

10:06 pm

mrpresident

10:19 pm

72 Temple Owl

so woulf - new job on monday?

10:19 pm

mamabear

you would not need it to play, Temple, it would just be a way for us to communicate and navigate us to the same place at the same time. We could use this forum, too until we got the IM thing organized.

10:19 pm

72 Temple Owl

i do have a yahoo mail account

10:19 pm

evanonut

yes, we could annoy every wonderfully that way

10:20 pm

GreyWoulf

10:20 pm

mamabear

g'nite, evanonut..... thanks for the tips!

10:38 pm

mamabear

GW - can you answer a Yahoo IM question? I started the download process and there is a security warning that says it might harm the computer. Is that just a "have to say it" type warning? I don't want to hurt the computer.

10:40 pm

GreyWoulf

I honestly don't remeber seeing that -- I just said yes to everything so I could install it

10:41 pm

mamabear

And I take it you had no ill effects to your 'puter?

10:41 pm

GreyWoulf

no probs at all :)

10:44 pm

Eva

There is, for those who love Scrabble, a fantastic scrabble site where it is easy to play with each other or several players. It is free although they ask for a small donation to cover expenses if you play a lot. the address is: thepixiepit.co.uk

10:44 pm

kristinc

hello all, I'm back with a tummy full of homemade goodies. Mama, you're still here? You were done ages ago! (glad you're here anyway)

mamabear

I am almost done with this IM thing then I will be back to help with clues.... sorry. I shouldn't have done this so late....
GW - do I want to check "automatically sign in"???? and "sign in as invisible"?

10:56 pm

GreyWoulf

Mama -- you can change those settings whenever you want -- I do sign in automatically --- the invisible is so you can be logged in without being interupted, but since you don't have many contacts you don't have to

10:57 pm

mamabear

What does the "sign in automatically" mean or do?

10:58 pm

GreyWoulf

automatically starts up messenger when you turn on the computer -- that way if you want to IM you can do so immediately :)

10:58 pm

mamabear

OK. Thanks. I will not check it. I PROMISE I will give the best clues I can in a few mins.

11:00 pm

speedfreak

Anyone with a clue for the PL 8 at least trying to get the big ones out of the way!!

11:00 pm

GreyWoulf

Mama -- I have made myself available on messenger so you can send me a message to test when you are done -- you already know my yahoo id :)

11:01 pm

Eva

I've been very frustrated trying to use photos of my own for icons! I have a Mac, and use iphoto. So I used the second option on the update profile page, clicked on the browse button as instructed, went to my apps, and then to iphoto, but as soon as I click on iphoto to pull up specific photos, it places that address (the iphoto one) into th ebox, which of course doesn't work. Could someone at least marginally less inept at this than I am offer any guidance?

11:01 pm

EasternBlue

pl 8 -
to pl _ _ (evil plan) + same lasT letter + the number of years you've been around...
