Morning dear gang :)
A babygrid, I see... is it tough?

2:09 am

lshult

morning sprite
Small but deadly!!

2:09 am

sprite

Argh, I see... 10 words in 5 minutes, that's not boding well...

2:13 am

lshult

Been going just short of an hour, still need 30 words and they are coming verrrrrrry slowly now!!!

2:14 am

sprite

Stats panel claims there are still 57 other words hiding in here. Don't believe it! ;)

2:22 am

dalmatian5

Sprite, you will find them. All of a sudden they will just pop out.

2:23 am

sprite

Hi dalmatian! You are right, down to 32 now. Still a tough one, though.

2:23 am

lds

a missing qu6 all that's left! ideas?

2:23 am

dalmatian5

It is not easy but not as bad as last night!

2:24 am

lottijw

Morning..... Oh i don`t like baby grids on a Wednesday!!! I take it to work with me, but this is hardly worthwhile. I like one to sink my teeth into :/

2:25 am

sprite

Lousy timing of babble to be small then, lotti! ;)
Good luck at work!

2:26 am

lottijw

Thanks Sprite :)
How you doing today?

2:28 am

sprite

A bit shaky. We got the concept analysis from the company doctor last Saturday. Yesterday we got the copy of the final version, as sent to my employer. So we never got a chance to object to all the misconcepts in there... and I spent half the day writing a letter to her and to my superior, to put things right. That company doctor is so utterly incompetent it is frightening.

2:28 am

macadam

Morning all.Just thinking of you lotti.Not a lot to keep you busy with only 84.

2:29 am

sprite

Hi macadam :)

2:31 am

lds

te5, small mountain or glacial lake? Can't find it!

2:31 am

macadam

Hi sprite.Someone ought to do a concept analysis of the company doctor.Keep your chin up.You`re better than they are.

2:31 am

lottijw

Aww thats so frustrating, especially as you had corrected the doctor and was ready to quote your truthful version!!!! Lets hope it finally dawns on someone how useless she is!!! Well i`d better go ... school run to do.
Take care, i`ll speak to you soon ((((xxx))))

2:32 am

macadam

lds I have ta4 small lake + plural

2:33 am

macadam

See you later lotti.

2:33 am

lottijw

Hi mum.....looks like a "Take a Break" day!! I may even brave it an open my math homework folder!!!!!!! Arrrgghh!!!!!!!

2:33 am

macadam

Brave child ;-)

2:34 am

lottijw

LOL...Bye everyone : )

2:34 am

lshult

still missing the qu6/33?
all the other q's came fast!!

2:34 am

sprite

I agree on the analysis of the doctor, LOL! My husband is very good on juridical things, so he was a big help. We made our own analysis, made a very to-the-point letter for the doctor and wrote a letter to my superior, with all the other stuff attached. So he'll know what's going on.
That doctor put in the analysis I don't want to talk to my superior. So untrue. All I turned down was his invitation to come and have a cup of coffee with my colleagues. Quite a different thing, don't you think?

2:36 am

macadam

qu6/33 small committee often part of a government but supposed to be neutral

2:37 am

macadam

Very different sprite.Perhaps your superior will see the light now.

2:38 am

sprite

Let's hope so, macadam. First impressions often linger, and he doesn't know me. He's the sixth superior in 3 years time, we haven't even met yet. But at least he will have two reports to compare with eachother, not just the faulty one of the company b... er... doctor.x

2:41 am

sandyloo

hi guys , can u tell me is there any way of looking at yesterdays solution

2:41 am

macadam

That is a rapid turn over for the top job.Is this anything to do with their ability or otherwise to do the job.

2:42 am

sprite

sandyloo: click "view yesterday's puzzle" and then select one of the names of the people that finished. All the words are listed there.

2:43 am

sandyloo

lmao: now i see it!!!! and thanks

2:44 am

sprite

It is even worse, macadam. The company thinks that team leaders shouldn't get attached to their team, they must stay impartial. So they make them switch teams every year at least, sometimes more often.
Our company has been in a massive reorganisation for years now and it won't be finished anytime soon... it is pure hell to work there. Management is crazy.

2:44 am

FMitch

Hi guys,

My sentiments too mac, I was just thinking that is a very hight turnover, something is not right there!

2:46 am

FMitch

That's nuts , how can you have impartial team leaders!!!!

2:46 am

macadam

Hi FM.A bit odd so many in such a short time.How are you?

2:48 am

macadam

What kind of system are they using? Designed by a shrink to test their theories?

2:48 am

FMitch

Morning macadam, not so good the Company I was working for has been closed and I am trying to tie up all the loose ends this week and then start job hunting next week.

2:48 am

sprite

That's just it, management IS crazy. They have such stupid ideas, and we all know beforehand they won't work out as planned, but we are not believed until proven right, years after the facts...
I often feel like I am explaining all day that water is wet... and I am not believed.
I really think it is time to look for another job. It's just very hard, because I am partly handicapped. I am a great employee, but how to convince a company of that??

2:49 am

sprite

FMitch: sorry to hear that. That's tough!

2:49 am

lds

Ra6, RA7 - don't have a clue! Anyone?

2:50 am

macadam

Sorry to hear that FM.I hope you find something soon.Your life will be on hold for a while I suspect.

2:51 am

FMitch

sorry lds, can't hep you on the r's yet.

2:51 am

lshult

ra6 - baby toy (+ plur)

2:52 am

lds

thanks - was just playing with granddaughter today and used it!

2:53 am

FMitch

Am just keeping fingers crossed that I will be able to get the salary and expenses that are owing otherwise.... anyway back to the grid, Only found 15 words so far.

2:54 am

lshult

despite mac's earlier clue, I still can't get the q6/33?

2:54 am

FMitch

Sounds a bit like the firey dance that is also in the grid Ishult

2:55 am

lds

GA6 & TA5 and it's all over for the night but...
And not the dance or the lake

2:55 am

macadam

quasi non governmental organisation.

2:56 am

lshult

thanks FMitch, didn't have the dance yet either!!

2:56 am

sandyloo

ive got 32 so far

2:56 am

macadam

Sorry only half a message ishutt.The qu6 is based on that title.

2:57 am

FMitch

macadam - that is definately todays facinating fact, I didn't know that was how the name came about!

2:58 am

macadam

I`m a dustbin of useless information or so I`ve been told.

3:00 am

FMitch

LOL

3:04 am

sprite

:D
I love you, macadam!

3:04 am

lds

done in record time - I like these short ones! Some cute constructs

3:05 am

sprite

WTG lds!

3:07 am

macadam

Thanks sprite.The feeling is mutual.Remember we all care about you.YOU ARE IMPORTANT.Believe us.

3:08 am

sprite

Thank you for that. I will bear that in mind and it will help :)

3:08 am

FMitch

Seconded by me!!!! Well said macadam!!

3:09 am

macadam

Must go now.Work calls.See you later.

3:09 am

sprite

Good day at work, macadam, and thanks again :)

3:10 am

sandyloo

these game sites are so theraputic and they stave off alzheimers as well

3:10 am

FMitch

Bye, mac, good to see you.

3:10 am

sprite

Somehow this has become a very supporting chat community indeed... and alzheimer, sure... er... what was that again?

3:11 am

FMitch

LOL sandyloo - theraputic or adictive?

3:12 am

sprite

Addictively therapeutic or therapeutically addictive.

3:12 am

sandyloo

nothing wrong with addictive after all they're not fattening and they dont give u lung cancer and as well as that our livers stay healthy ....lol...so i guess its all good

3:12 am

lshult

Finished!!!!!!
Time to give clues
Any takers?

3:12 am

FMitch

I'll buy into that sandyloo!!

3:14 am

FMitch

WTG Ishult - I don't have enough words to be at the clue stage yet but thanks for the offer.

3:14 am

sprite

Hear hear sandyloo!
And fireworks for Ishult!

3:16 am

sandyloo

dont know why it wont accept ehah i always say that when im riding my horse!!!!! eeeee haaaa!

3:17 am

sprite

Babble is sooooo partial on words like that!
Ehah should be valid, since pfui (or worse: phooey) is.

3:19 am

sandyloo

it should be especially valid when im trying so hard for the dark grey e square up there....boo hoo

3:20 am

sprite

I am with you there... can't find that one myself either.

3:22 am

FMitch

Are you talking about the e on the right hand side 2nd line?

3:22 am

sprite

That's the one.

3:22 am

sandyloo

yes

3:23 am

sandyloo

ehah fits lol

3:23 am

FMitch

Can't believe it - just found it with monkey typing and the def is as weird as the word el4/5
Of, relating to, involving, or designed for use in grades 1 to 12.

3:25 am

sprite

Right! We came across that one before. I forgot... might be alzheimer after all ;)

3:25 am

sprite

I think it is a kind of abbreviation. First two for ..... dear Watson. And the other two for not low education, perhaps?

3:26 am

sandyloo

When i discovered this site ...less than a week ago ...they warned of addiction...as i am already addicted to tangle and i thought this looked a bit quiet i confidently joined in,...now , hmm, i must admit to finding it strangely compelling and even maybe with the view of perhaps becoming a little addicting

3:26 am

sprite

LOL sandyloo... you're sliding, my dear, slowly but surely...

3:27 am

FMitch

...soon she will be one of us..!!!! LOL

3:27 am

sandyloo

im definitely in denial

3:29 am

sandyloo

cant believe i could ever be more addicted to anything but tangle

3:32 am

sprite

For me it's got at least something to do with it having an end. That nagging "you have 14 words left to find" will not let me go until it's become zero. Argh!

3:32 am

sandyloo

if i ever got to zero i would be truly amazed

3:33 am

sprite

Hm..... I'll give you two weeks. Tops. You will have finished a grid before that, I am sure! :)

3:34 am

FMitch

... and once you finish a grid there is no turning back!!

3:34 am

sandyloo

well one can always live in hope

3:35 am

sandyloo

u must get to know some of the more tricky words i guess and while i have the first half of the e word I(i like sherlock holmes) the second part still evades me

3:37 am

sprite

You are right, the nasty strange ones become familiar after a while and that helps a lot.
Second half of the E4 is abbrev. of not low.

3:37 am

FMitch

I can't believe how many grey boxes I have but still am only at the half way mark.

3:37 am

sandyloo

whoo hoo

3:38 am

sprite

I am down to 10 and the going has gotten really tough. Can't be called going anymore. Even crawling is too optimistic.

3:40 am

sandyloo

ive got 40 left to find so im feeling very productive lol

3:41 am

sprite

Great going, more than half through. The halfway mark is always interesting... usually it gets tougher after that ;)

3:42 am

FMitch

and then the site hic ups and throws you out for a few moments.

3:43 am

sprite

*beats site over the head with a fish*
Don't throw FMitch out, you, hear you!

3:46 am

sprite

Well... overlooked the house renters, the vulcano, the wise man and dear Russian Peter. Guess that after repairing that I am finished :)
Any clues needed?

3:46 am

lshult

never thought I would be dissapointed to have finished a grid.
Supposed to be working, but can't be bothered. Would rather still be babbling!!

3:46 am

sandyloo

ok its wine oclock here so i will be back later

3:48 am

sprite

See you, sandyloo!
Ishult, I know the feeling. We should ask Jamie to put up another grid, apart from the rankings, for those finishing too early on the day, LOL! For the hard core addicts.

3:54 am

lshult

Mabey a "classic grid" page featuring those massive 400+ grids that only the crazy diehards finished in the day. Us mere mortals could go back on a day like this and babble to our hearts content!!

3:55 am

sprite

That's a nice idea! I am off, good luck hunting all!

3:56 am

lshult

I'm off too. Time for a spot of lunch I think.

4:07 am

FMitch

argh, site froze on me again, bye to those that have gone!!!!!

4:19 am

Haz1558

A quick good morning to all.

4:20 am

tiger

Morning Haz

4:20 am

Yvo

good Morning
a half an hour and 14 words later ,this one is hard

4:23 am

Haz1558

I've cheated with every resource available to get finished as I have lots to do today. There are more normal words in there than you might imagine.

4:24 am

tiger

i've got 26 words left to find I've started to struggle now

4:27 am

Yvo

its the normal ones i get
its the abnormal im having trouble with

4:35 am

4:41 am

FMitch

Hey MrP, How are you doing?

4:41 am

mrpresident

I don't believe what I just did!!!

I reached into a jar in the pantry to get some almonds, and got a mouthful of dog biscuits instead!!

E E E W WWWWWW!!!!

4:42 am

mrpresident

**washing my mounth out with vodka to disinfect it**

4:42 am

FMitch

4:45 am

Haz1558

g plus girl's name plus beverage

5:31 am

cykopunk2003

WHEW THANKS

5:32 am

Haz1558

Scots people also use it to describe someone who is greedy - presumably because the bird is a voracious feeder.

5:35 am

sandyloo

5:37 am

Haz1558

spellit

All done - bit of a relief today after recent grids!

6:27 am

Jacula

All done. Didn't even have to look to the log for clues. Disappointingly easy grid.:-( I suppose I'll have to do real work for the rest of the day.

6:54 am

ExWren

me too! I had to leave it a few times to do other things, do that too often and I will be barred!

6:54 am

shorty

wow it vey quite in here

6:59 am

FMitch

It is Shorty!!!

7:01 am

shorty

i never seen it so quite

7:02 am

FMitch

7:03 am

7:05 am

EvaNadine

7:13 am

bunnyvicious

Sneaking in while the twins are still in bed....Shhhh

7:13 am

EvaNadine

*tiptoes over + whispers hello to bunny*

7:14 am

bunnyvicious

Well THAT didn't last!!! Maybe she will go back to sleep. How's the grid?

7:15 am

EvaNadine

84 words total, i started less than 15 minutes ago + im half done with no outside help...
hehe

7:16 am

bunnyvicious

Wow, good for you, I can't even focus yet, waiting for those last few drop of coffee to brew....gives me hope. It's nice to get a short one every now and then.

7:17 am

EvaNadine

always seem to get the short ones on the days that im short on work -- and therefore have time to do a longer puzzle!
hehe

7:18 am

bunnyvicious

Sad as it sounds, I will shirk my wifely and motherly duties to finish a grid, after a real big one, everyone is starving, you can barely walk through the house, and I can't feel my legs anymore, so a short one does me a bit of good.
It might have something to do with the chat log too!!LOL

7:20 am

Evan I know what you mean about the short ones hitting on the days you have time. Although today I have tons of things I *should* do. I'd rather babble.

7:21 am

bunnyvicious

Morning Music and Anj!
Guess the theme is fish today, but the boy has his mouth hanging open...

7:22 am

musicmom

He's cute Bunny

7:22 am

bunnyvicious

Unfortunately, "rather babble" means to me - I'd rather babble than get up and circulate the blood in my legs or find some food after HOURS

7:22 am

Anj

Morning Eva, BV, 'mom : )

7:23 am

musicmom

Me too Bunny. My husband was making comments about that last night:-))

7:23 am

7:25 am

bunnyvicious

I have the ra and te, haven't pulled out the list yet.

7:25 am

musicmom

I just started - been chatting more than looking at the log.

7:47 am

7:55 am

smithchick

7:56 am

bunnyvicious

7:58 am

bunnyvicious

7:58 am

smithchick

Hmmm... Obviously there were at least four nights when hubby didn't have a headache, bunny!

7:59 am

musicmom

hehehehe smithchick - good one. Maybe that is the cure for the headache.

7:59 am

smithchick

Now, anj.... About being a good boy...I've been lurking around here for months, and I know better!!

7:59 am

sandyloo

8:00 am

sandyloo

8:00 am

smithchick

Too true, bunny. He better have a whole lot else going for him!

8:00 am

ToeSockMonkey

EvaNadine

:D

8:00 am

bunnyvicious

OK, I'm strtching a weeeee bit, maybe five....

8:00 am

sandyloo

bunnies dont have that sort of reputation

8:01 am

bunnyvicious

He's fun to look at and very witty, plus, he takes out the garbage every now and then and snores very loudly, what more could a girl want?

8:02 am

bunnyvicious

Jeeez, wonder what he tells all the guys about me?

8:02 am

sandyloo

maybe one that doesnt check his bank statement

8:03 am

smithchick

Oh, well.... as long as he takes the garbage out, it's okay then.

8:03 am

musicmom

Heheee Evan -- all kids *like* to think that. Sarah has just gotten to the age where Greg and I flirting with each other totally grosses her out. hehehehehe Fun!

8:04 am

Jen

Morning everyone!

8:04 am

bunnyvicious

he's actually very sweet, I haven't been up to par here lately, he let me sleep WAY in this weekend and brewed me a pot of coffee, burnt some scrambled eggs, and set me out some socks for when I got out of bed.

8:04 am

smithchick

Hubby and I bicker a lot so when we are affectionate, the kids are just relieved that we aren't getting a divorce!

8:05 am

Ouwachita

biggest argument we ever had was over garbage...she wanted it taken out during the last 10 minutes of the Superbowl...then proceeded to throw the bag at me when I refused...lol

8:05 am

Anj

Cheers Sandy - that reminded me to make a couple of updates to it : )

smithchick

Ditto on the qu!

8:29 am

EvaNadine

TO, the QU6 i just found rhymes with a tropical fruit

Jen

Being a savory rather than a sweet person, I adore Dutch pancakes made with ham and cheese!

8:29 am

EvaNadine

the other QU6 is plural of a QU5

8:29 am

Jacula

Jen - ours are much thinner. They don't contain sugar, oil or baking powder, either.

8:30 am

Jen

So more like a crepe, then.

8:30 am

Jacula

qu5/16 - Surname of Mary, fashion guru of the 60s/70s. qu6 is plural.

8:30 am

Anj

It's an acronym over here...
Quasi AUtonomous Non-Governmental Organisation : )

8:31 am

72 Temple Owl

i want snart to be a word...i just like the sound of it!

8:31 am

Jacula

qu6/33 rhymes with the ta5/14 dance. (The one you do with a rose between your teeth.)

8:32 am

Bugzy

LOL Temple... I was just monkeying around with the sn's and thinking the same thing!!!

8:32 am

Anj

I mean, come on Enable...

8:32 am

smithchick

I can honestly say that I've never seen or heard of that qu6/33 word. Never, ever, ever.

8:33 am

Jen

I want the bad word with an 'e' at the end to be a word!

musicmom

8:36 am

Jacula

sn4 is a problem or hitch.
sn5 has no definition but rhymes with the paved thing that goes up your garden. (And that you may sometimes be led up...)

8:37 am

musicmom

*tongue freezes in that position*

9:22 am

Jera

It won't stick very much, plus it's supposed to be 40-something today & 50-something tomorrow, so I'm not getting too excited. The kids might at most come home early & get a delay in the morning. But I love snow!!!

9:22 am

smithchick

Well, I'll be back in a minute. I've got to do the USA Today crossword puzzle...

bunnyvicious

You'll pardon me, I need to vent, shaping up to be an awful morning!

9:28 am

Jera

Jen, did you get to meet LEMONed yesterday? We learned a new word... warai!! (Or at least i did)

9:28 am

Jen

Yikes! I wish you a speedy recovery on that!
I ended up going to an urgent care clinic... mine cough turned out to be bronchitis.

9:28 am

Jera

Vent away, BV... we're cheap therapy!!

9:29 am

Jen

No, I wasn't on yesterday... playing golf w/ my Dad. What does it mean?

9:29 am

Jera

Take care of that, Jen, it's been known to turn into pneumonia if you aren't careful! The weather you are having is good for recovery... much better than here!

9:29 am

bunnyvicious

I just learned that my mother is losing her job teaching after 12 years because she won't move to resource and take a pay cut. My kids go to scholl there, and now that her contract is terminated, the ditrict wants $600 PER CHILD so that they can finish their school year! transfer fees...

9:30 am

Atalante

Hi everyone! I have a hammerhead shark pic - they are soooooo cool

9:30 am

Jera

Warai = Japanese for LOL (more or less)... funny guy, very nice!

9:31 am

Jen

The doc gave me a Z-Pac of antibiotics, so I "should" be recovered in 2 more days. LOL

Bunny, I am sooo sorry to hear that! After 12 years, doesn't she have tenure?

9:31 am

bunnyvicious

We are buying a house in a crappy school district just because my kids get to go to her school for free, so NOW!!! I'm so MAD!!!

9:31 am

Jera

That's horrible, BV!! Yikes!

9:32 am

LEMONed

Arigato gozaimas, Jera-san! ^^

9:32 am

Jera

Zithromax = very good meds... saved my life a time or two...

9:32 am

Bugzy

Hi Atalante :)

9:32 am

bunnyvicious

9:32 am

Jera

{{{LEMONed}}}

I was just speaking well of you!!

9:32 am

Jen

LEMONed, I'm Jen, nice to meet you! :)

9:32 am

Jera

Jen, LEMONed... LEMONed, Jen (I've actually met her in real life!)

9:33 am

Bugzy

Wow, bunny, that stinks! Can't her union do anything?

9:33 am

Jen

Is she part of the union? I bet she's got a good case!

9:33 am

LEMONed

ohiyo Jen, it is nice to meet you too!

Jera-san, I am very touched! Thank you so much :)

9:33 am

Jera

I've never heard of tenure expiring... does she have a lawyer??

9:34 am

bunnyvicious

I don't know all the details, welcome to small town life, someones cousin probably needed a job.
And thank you for letting me vent, I really need to make some friends to cry on. talk about up a creek...

Jera

So are you brave enough to do battle with this puzzle, Lem? The short ones can be difficult...

9:35 am

FMitch

9:35 am

smithchick

I'm back. What'd I miss?

9:36 am

Jen

I need to get ready so I can take my son to the library, so I am off for now. LEMONed, nice meeting you! Jera, I hope your knees get better real quick, and bunny, hang in there!! And to all the rest, tata! :)

9:36 am

Jera

Small-town school politics = ptooi!!!

My best friend who is disabled got treated very badly last year because of small-town school politics...

9:36 am

bunnyvicious

I think, might be mistaken, that they sign on three years at a time, this being her fourth "term", once again, I'm not sure. But she goes out on a limb for this district, it's very small. Always there when they need her to be and none of the others will volunteer, almost cost her a divorce at one point, you just can't trust anyone anymore.

9:36 am

LEMONed

Jera, I am...I think you say 'feeling strong', today! Lots of the help you all gave me yesterday influence my English today...thank you all :)

9:36 am

Jera

9:38 am

Jera

Hang in there, BV... keep us posted... let me know if I need to hex anybody!!

9:38 am

LEMONed

ohiyo Faeriekae :)

9:39 am

Jera

Weeeeell... getting nekkid on Babble is better than getting nekkid in real life, I suppose... cyber parties have less consequences...

9:39 am

faeriekae

Jera (((x))) hows the grid to? Do I need to get out my faerie dust* :D

9:39 am

Jacula

TTFN, everyone. I'd better go an do 'things domestic'.

9:45 am

LEMONed

Aa, there is nothing that cannot be improve with a little faerie dust...

9:45 am

Jera

One of my favorite english words starts with AA...

9:52 am

faeriekae

I can't pull a bow back because of my shoulder or I would love to try it. I shoot skeet mostly and just love it.....Gets rid of a lot of fustration.

Skeet is wonderful, I'm not as good as I used to be because of my eyesight. Bow & arrow is more primal to me, which I like.

smithchick

Everything is great with me today, LEMONed. How about you? Dang is just slang for people like me who don't really swear. Instead of damn...

9:58 am

Jera

dang, darn, dagnabit = mild curses

9:58 am

LEMONed

Aa, well that would makes more sense! thank you ^^

9:58 am

faeriekae

Smith - warai - how are you doing? Is hubby still home?

9:58 am

smithchick

Faerie, I'm sorry I misspelled you!

9:59 am

LEMONed

*sheepish* <-- new word of the day :) thank you!

9:59 am

smithchick

Hubby is home and still planting trees. Apparently, it takes some time for one guy to plant 500 pine trees in the rain!

9:59 am

Jera

There are a few weird ones, but most of them are recurring Babble words, so I knew them... your mileage may vary...

9:59 am

smithchick

I love warai, LEMONed!! Thanks for introducing us to it!

10:00 am

Jera

Why is he planting trees now, smithchick... is it an occasion or deadline of some sort? My Girls Scouts are planting trees for Arbor Day but that's 2 months away...

10:01 am

LEMONed

warai Smithchick, you are very welcome! I alway forgetting 'lol'

10:02 am

smithchick

We bought some land that we are going to build our "dream" house on and hubby is from southern Arkansas where pine trees abound. He just bought a bunch of them from the forestry dept. so he can have his beloved pines... There is a limited window -weather wise- for him to get them planted. It has to be cold enough but not too cold or something.

10:03 am

faeriekae

Jera - I have glaucoma soooooo I have no perifial vision which is hendersom "bad spelling" but I do pretty good for a girl.....I shot on a mixed league. Very challenging.

10:03 am

faeriekae

Oh yes planting trees in the rain. What fun :(

10:04 am

faeriekae

Must get to the grid. I'll be lurking about.

10:04 am

smithchick

So far I have been spared planting duties. It could be because every time he suggests that I may want to help him, he gets THE look...

10:05 am

faeriekae

NOT the LOOK!!!!!! "Dramatic music in back ground"

10:05 am

Jera

Sounds wonderful, smithchick... I grew up in the woods so I love lots of trees!! oaks are my favorite, though, especially red oaks... we are planting lots of them in our back yard so I can have my own private grove...

10:05 am

Angelsong

all done!

10:05 am

LEMONed

warai Smithchick! :)

10:06 am

ToeSockMonkey

CAPONE!! Hurray!

10:07 am

faeriekae

Angel (((((x))))) *sprinkle*sprinkle*sprinkle faerie dust for you sweetie.

10:07 am

smithchick

Way to go, angelsong!!! Jera, my hubby likes those tall, skinny pines but I prefer a good oak, myself.

10:07 am

Angelsong

I'm off to start making some Babble resource pages for some Babblers.

10:08 am

smithchick

I see that you are familiar with THE look, LEMONed! Japanese moms give it too, huh?

10:08 am

faeriekae

Angel - Congrats - I didn't realize you had finished.
I could use a clue on the "ag" an "ag" will do.

10:09 am

faeriekae

Ok I got the ag 5/14

10:09 am

smithchick

ag5/14- someone who represents someone else
ag4/6- a + not there (minus the last vowel)
ag5/14- tack on the last vowel you just dropped.

10:09 am

LEMONed

Congratulate, Angelsong!

I love the sakura - cherry blossom, I think you say - trees. They were everywhere in Kyto, and in Shigatsu all the blossom would fall...it was beautiful

10:10 am

Angelsong

one ag is a ten percent-er
one is a shortened form of a word for extreme pain
one is the same as above with an added vowEl

10:10 am

LEMONed

Smithchick, I can only spoke for myself!

...but my mom could win medal for her 'LOOK'

10:10 am

smithchick

Ooohh, I bet they are beautiful, LEMONed. Trees that blossom are so gorgeous!

10:10 am

Atalante

done! that last one took ages, but at least I can say I did it without clues from the log or a2z!

10:10 am

smithchick

WooHoo Atalante!!! Congrats!

10:10 am

faeriekae

Smith - Thanks got them all......* _ *

10:11 am

capone

NO!

<---- addict, tyvm TSM

10:11 am

Jera

I grew up among the pines (long-leaf) of North Carolina, so they are a bit boring to me. Red Oaks are a bit more exotic, although we did have them. Cool shape of the leaves

10:11 am

Jera

Well-done, Atalante!!

10:11 am

ToeSockMonkey

Capone did I get you addict to babble already?

10:11 am

LEMONed

I love them, Smithchick! It seems to be a law in Kyoto that everywhere must have it own supply of the sakura trees. When I use to walk home from school through them, the blossom would cover the girl in my class and they looked beautiful, like brides :)

10:12 am

Jera

I want a dogwood in my back yard...

10:12 am

ToeSockMonkey

EVERYONE! I just got my bestest buddy capone addict to babble! HURRAY!

10:12 am

faeriekae

Yeah Alalante:)

10:12 am

Jera

Lemon, we have many beautiful cherry trees in Washington DC... they are sight to see when in bloom!

10:12 am

smithchick

LEMONed, I'm not too shabby with THE look, either! My 11 yr. old daughter has already started practising it and she has it down pretty well. Pity her children when she has them.

10:13 am

smithchick

How sweet, LEMONed. You have the soul of a poet!

10:14 am

LEMONed

Congratulate, ToeSockMonkey! :)

Jera, they are just a breathtake sight ^^

Smithchick, I think it is a gift all women are birth with!

10:14 am

smithchick

TSM, I'm trying to get my younger sister addicted, but she isn't cooperating. I did get my older sister hooked, but she has computer problems so she can't play as often as she'd like. (She's elmer)

10:14 am

LEMONed

warai Smithchick! My English sensei would not agree! thank you :)

10:14 am

capone

TSM you will pay for this.....big time!

10:15 am

ToeSockMonkey

smith - woot! thats awesome :) Family event hehehe

10:15 am

Jera

I tried to get my sister addicted over Christmas, but she doesn't really have time for it... silly woman, priorities!!

10:15 am

smithchick

There are a few men born with THE look, too! My father's got a mean one.

10:15 am

ToeSockMonkey

Ooooh beware Capooooone! *shivers* he looks just like Al Capone too ;)

10:16 am

smithchick

That's what I'm talking about, Jera (as she sits in the filthy hovel that is her house, typing away).

10:17 am

LEMONed

Smithchick, is it something I can learned? :D

10:17 am

smithchick

I'm putting off typing up a program for a church thing tonight because I'm inept and it will take me forever to figure it out. RAWR

10:17 am

ToeSockMonkey

Any help on ANY of the "E" words please? =o)

10:18 am

smithchick

You seem to be a pretty quick study, LEMONed. I'm sure you could learn. Just thing of things most unpleasant and glare at them as those you would like to skewer them. (stab with something pointed and sharp).

10:19 am

LEMONed

warai! I'll think of my English homework! It general makes me want to 'skewer' thing...

10:19 am

Jera

el4 = el + short friendly greeting

10:19 am

hurshy

(generally) (things)

10:20 am

smithchick

Well, there's the el4/5- having to do with school
there is the volcanic one and it's plural et4/4 and et5/10
there is the et4/5 that is a prefix with a plural letter on the end
there is the en5/10 -someone gave a clue about trees in LOTR with two vowels on the end.

10:20 am

Jera

smithchick...I was very stern with myself this morning... had to clean the kitchen before coming here to chat...

10:20 am

smithchick

Warai!!! Too funny, LEMONed. Now skewer that English assignment with a look meant to shrivel it up!

10:21 am

hurshy

refresh for fish

10:21 am

ToeSockMonkey

Thank you bunches :)

10:21 am

LEMONed

warai! here is my DAISUKINA sensei :) arigato gozaimas!

10:21 am

Jera

*imagines Lemon practicing withering look at computer*

warai!!

10:22 am

smithchick

Hey hurshy! How are ya? Jera, I've managed to do about 30 minutes worth of housework this morning.
LEMONed, has your whole family moved to London or are you doing an exchange thing?

10:22 am

LEMONed

*glares*

...

*wails* it is not working!

10:23 am

smithchick

Warai, LEMONed. Maybe it only works on people (and dogs).

10:23 am

LEMONed

Smithchick, near my whole family :) Sadly sofu and sobo (no idea of the english!) still live in Japan :(

10:24 am

hurshy

(nearly)

10:24 am

LEMONed

I am hoping my face will not get stuck like this...

10:24 am

hurshy

hi everyone. am having horrible day.

10:24 am

LEMONed

^^ thank you, Hurshy-sensei!

10:24 am

smithchick

sofu and sobo- are those your parent's parents or sisters or brothers?

10:25 am

smithchick

That's only if you roll your eyes, LEMONed.
What's the trouble hurshy?

10:25 am

LEMONed

Aa, thank you! I could not remember the translation...they are my parent's parents :)

10:25 am

faeriekae

Hurshy - Hi (((X))) sorry your having such a bad day. What's up?

10:25 am

LEMONed

what is wrong, Hurshy-sensei?

10:26 am

smithchick

Grandparents is the formal term. Here they have all kinds of nicknames...Nana, Poppa, Papa, Granny, Gran, Granddad, Grandma, etc.

10:27 am

hurshy

the "mothering" is not going so well. my "son" may want to move out. it's a very long story. also having slight but annoying medical problem.

10:27 am

ToeSockMonkey

I am stuck

10:28 am

LEMONed

Smithchick, Aa...complicated! x_x

10:28 am

faeriekae

Hurshy - I'm so sorry. I know you have had some problems with him but don't beat yourself up. And what's up with YOU???

10:29 am

LEMONed

Gomen nasai, Hurshy-sensei :(

10:29 am

ToeSockMonkey

"nogo" should be a word!

10:29 am

smithchick

Well, I'm sorry about that hurshy. Is this a teen angst thing that will shortly pass? Remember my sister that is raising my 18 yr. old nephew? They had a huge blowout last night because he has three f's in school, is sleeping in class and then gets belligerent when the teacher has the audicity to wake him.

10:30 am

hurshy

boys - don't read this, you won't like to hear it.

what's wrong with me is yeast.

10:30 am

hurshy

our blowout was over dip.

10:30 am

smithchick

Eeww, itchy!!

10:31 am

smithchick

It's usually something little that sets things off when there is tension. He must be frustrated about something and is taking it out on you.

10:31 am

hurshy

well, not just the dip - it turned into a whole thing about freedom and stuff.

10:31 am

faeriekae

Hurshy - Call the doctor and have them call you a Rx. I keep it on hand at all times. Every time I take antibotics I get a yeast infection.

10:32 am

hurshy

i've already had 2 doses of diflucan and still not got rid of it - i've called the doctor again and i'm waiting for them to call back.

10:32 am

LEMONed

eheh...it looks like it is not a good place to be a teenaged (is that the expression?) boy ^^;

10:32 am

smithchick

It's hard when they are legally of age, but maturity and emotional age don't match up. Also, when they are still in school and not the most responsible of creatures.

10:33 am

smithchick

One of my sisters has had a recurrent one for months. Can't get rid of it. Hers is the painful kind.

10:33 am

nitenurse

Hurshy

10:33 am

faeriekae

"holding hands over Lemon's ears" - go ahead and talk ladies. I've got this one covered :)

10:33 am

smithchick

Just think of the education that you are getting, LEMONed!

10:33 am

hurshy

yes, exactly smithchick (about the legally of age but immature bit)

10:33 am

smithchick

Warai, faerie!

10:33 am

hurshy

hello nitenurse

10:34 am

hurshy

well lemon, at least you seem more responsible than my lad

10:34 am

faeriekae

Have his daddy kick his ass....

10:34 am

LEMONed

warai Faeriekae, Smithchick! I will look away :)

10:35 am

smithchick

It must be especially frustrating because there is no biological "ownership" so he can threaten to leave anytime things aren't going his way.

10:35 am

faeriekae

Lemon - I supose you have to learn these things eventually. LOL

10:35 am

LEMONed

Hurshy-sensei, I am sure my own parents would not agree! :)

10:35 am

nitenurse

Hurshy Oops for last one.
Eat yogurt. Make sure it says it has live yogurt culture in it. It helps. The cause is the antibiotics. Have to have one and then the other gets worse. What a miserable cycle. Also, I've gone thru the teen-cycle. I'ts hard. I'll pray for you.
NN

10:35 am

smithchick

They can still be so needy without even realizing it at that age...

10:36 am

hurshy

the trouble is, nothing works with him. the tough approach has been tried, the soft approach has been tried. he responds to nothing. he is relationally bankrupt and wants to just be alone in the world except for casual surface friendships in which he can just have fun.

10:36 am

hurshy

smith - you understand so well!

10:36 am

LEMONed

That could be tough, Hurshy-sensei :(

however, the English homework is calling...I must go practiser my glaring! bai bai

10:37 am

faeriekae

Hurshy - any signs of drug usage?

10:37 am

Atalante

and cranberry juice - drink gallons of it. It does help!

10:37 am

Jera

Hurshey, I used to have trouble like that... I have a yogurt cup every day & no trouble for nearly 20 years!

10:37 am

hurshy

nitenurse - i hate yogurt. but my friend said it doesn't have enough in it to really make a difference anyway. the only thing i like is these new weight watchers yogurt smoothies - they don't taste very yogurty but they do have some active cultures in them.

10:37 am

faeriekae

Lemon-see ya later-hurry back*_*

10:37 am

smithchick

It takes a really long time to build trust. It sounds like he is testing you to see if you really care about him or not. My advice would be to continue with the boundaries but let him know you aren't giving up on him. They will break your heart whether you gave birth to them or not.

10:38 am

Jera

How many words did you find, Lemon... or are you just using us for chat practice??

10:38 am

hurshy

cranberry juice, eh?

i've been using ice cubes to numb it, warai!

10:38 am

smithchick

Warai, LEMONed! Give it a glare for me! See you tomorrow?

10:38 am

Doll414

how about acidopholus?

10:38 am

hurshy

he uses tobacco and pot. has tried other things but doesn't use them regularly.

10:39 am

capone

TSM getcha E yet?

10:39 am

nitenurse

Then maybe just the idea will help. Sorry you don't like it. YOu can buy yogurt tablets. Also is your nephew on drugs. Has he seen a Dr. Maybe he is bi-polar?
NN

10:40 am

faeriekae

Hurshy-well tobacco and pot doesn't make you act out like that but I do know that the speeders and other drugs will. Had lots of experience as a youngster.

10:40 am

hurshy

i've heard about the yogurt tablets...

10:40 am

hurshy

no, faerie, it's not that, it's just his ridiculous personality.

10:40 am

smithchick

It seems like he is very discouraged in general and doesn't know how to be happy. Find lots of little things to praise him about every day so he can get used to encouragement instead of hopelessness.

10:41 am

hurshy

it may just be too late, i don't know. he may be determined to move out and back into the dorm at this point.

10:41 am

faeriekae

Hurshy - I will remember your family in my prayers...

10:41 am

smithchick

I think it is a generational thing, too. A lot of kids today have a sense of entitlement. And the whole gloom and doom thing.

10:42 am

hurshy

oh, he thinks he knows how to be happy - do whatever he wants and have no consequences.

10:42 am

Deutsch

capone, I don't have the last e. I'm about to resort to the list. TSM? still here?

10:43 am

smithchick

Nobody has ever had a life as hard as theirs... Yada, yada, yada. My kids act like that and I just want to say, "Oh please! Give me a break! I had to walk twenty miles up hill, one way, in the snow, etc"...

10:43 am

nitenurse

I'll try not to be too graphic, you and your husband may be giving to each other.

10:43 am

Atalante

has he ever had to actually take the consequences of his doing-as-he-wants actions?

10:43 am

ToeSockMonkey

Not all the e's

10:44 am

smithchick

Well, unfortunately for some, letting them suffer the consequences is the only way they learn. I have a sister who suffers them over and over again, and still doesn't learn. I hate that you have to suffer in the process of his growing up...

10:45 am

hurshy

nitenurse - haven't done it since before the infection - i do know about that

10:45 am

hurshy

atalante - yes, he has. he flunked everything last year in public school, that's why he was sent here and is having to repeat his junior year.

10:46 am

TSM and capone, I'm evidently missing the en 5 10. any clues?

Hey, Deutsch!

thanks, Hurshy, but I'll have to google that. I don't watch much popular TV.

Stress will definitely cause them. The only yeast infections that I've ever had were at stressful times. Marriage, death of son, graduation from college while moving and being 9 months pregnant, etc.

12:39 pm

Babbler

hi Judi : )

12:40 pm

Judi

Must say, the Qu6/33 is my favorite word of the day. I can't help but put it with "wango-zee-tango" ala Van Halen.

12:41 pm

EvaNadine

i think a bit of both...
id prefer a longer, easy one, myself..hehe

12:41 pm

ExWren

If anyone is still interested, LEMONed is a 15 yr old boy from Japan, living north of London, his name is Takumi, and from Kyoto.
I had nothing better to do so I went back and had a look!

12:41 pm

Deutsch

All right, now that's done.

12:42 pm

EvaNadine

hehe...i think exwren may have me topped for boredom!!
;D

12:43 pm

Hmm. We could fix him up with Miyavifan, if she didn't already have a boyfriend.

12:44 pm

EvaNadine

judi -- thats what we were joking about yesterday...they seem to have an awful lot in common!!

12:44 pm

Judi

Just think... a Babble love connection!

12:45 pm

caitlyn

I agree Evan

Thinking more about LEMONed perhaps i made a mistake I cant remember if LEMON said male or female .Think I need a break after babysitting.LOL

12:46 pm

caitlyn

Perhaps i need fish to wake me up!!!SORRY!!!!!!!!!!

12:46 pm

Judi

Gotta skoot. Have to shopping for a work party that I probably won't even be able to attend.

1:07 pm

Jera

Babbler, tell me about your icon?

1:07 pm

LEMONed

Babbler-san, formally you would say 'Hai, genki desu, okagesama de'...which, I think, literally means "I am healthly, thanks to you"! Informally you could just say 'mama desu'...like, 'I'm okay' :D

1:07 pm

LEMONed

Hi all logging in qucikly whilst the litlies are being entertained by the girl next door! Then have to write up minutes & set agenda for a meeting tomorrow.

1:23 pm

1:25 pm

LEMONed

Hi Anj! Yes, I could not keep away :)

1:25 pm

EvaNadine

skuraki -- rhymes with a tropical fruit

1:26 pm

hurshy

skuraki - it rhymes with a ta5 dance

1:26 pm

EvaNadine

*gets anj with a wednesday whallop!*

1:26 pm

hurshy

ok, so now someone tell me, i have te7, what are the other 2 7's?

1:26 pm

LEMONed

Snowyowl, I am not sure what you mean by that but I will try anyway ^^

Jera, why are you missing out? :(

1:26 pm

skuraki

yeah. . .thx bunches. . .my first finished puzzle ever. . .yippeeeeeee!!!!

1:27 pm

hurshy

lemon - digits are fingers and toes (the word digit has other meanings, too)

1:27 pm

Anj

HI again Eva : )

*Counters with Wednesday Whale*

1:27 pm

congrats skuraki!!!!!!!!!!!!!

1:27 pm

EvaNadine

lemoned -- she means cross your fingers -- people do that for good luck.
:)

1:27 pm

Jera

The Sprite is home sick this afternoon... she missed yesterday, went in this morning, then called me to come get her... some new variant on the flu, I believe. She's asleep now.

1:28 pm

hurshy

oh, poor kid.

1:28 pm

skuraki

time to go. . .bus duty calls

1:28 pm

Anj

Hursh, ta7 - straight liness off of circles and ra7, noisy end of a snake, not the hissing bit : )

1:29 pm

Jera

It's a company dinner... i told my husband to order the biggest thing they had & bring me home a doggie bag, warai!

1:29 pm

LEMONed

Aa...thank you Hurshy-sensei and Evanadine! :)

1:29 pm

hurshy

oh, no, and me a math teacher! i am the stupidest person ever.

1:29 pm

snowyowl

Jera - hope she is feeling better soon. We have had a flu virus around here since Christmas & it was a horrible thing. Both Hubby & myself succumbed. Of course he was a lot more ill than I was! LOL

1:30 pm

hurshy

8 to go... must i succumb and use the list?

1:30 pm

Jera

I hope so too, snowy... she has Girl Scout cookies to deliver!! Plus Mardi Gras party tomorrow night!

1:31 pm

Jera

No, hurshy, no... use us instead!!

1:31 pm

hurshy

well, they are mostly fours anyway, so i should be able to monkey a bunch, you would think...

1:31 pm

LEMONed

warai Jera! :D Am I right in thinking that a doggie bag is like leftovers?

1:32 pm

Jera

Exactly, Lemon... you are getting the slang... that's hard!

1:33 pm

snowyowl

Why don't we get ill in the boring parts of our lives instead of when there are nice things to go to? Not that i get much time to be bored! LOL I want free time for my birthday this year - no gifts -just free time!

1:33 pm

hurshy

ooh, got a 5, only one of those left and then 6 fours.

1:34 pm

LEMONed

It is all I hear at school!

1:35 pm

Jera

I told her she was going tomorrow night unless she was projectile vomitting or had a temperature of 103 (in which case she'd be in the hospital)... since I'm the Leader! I'm not cancelling a meeting because she's sick (gods, I'm mean)!

1:37 pm

Jera

Lemon, could you help me on pronouncing warai? I'd like to use it in conversation, but don't want to mess it up... is the ai like an A or like an I??

1:37 pm

snowyowl

LOL Jera I know the feeling- I'm often saying 'don't you dare be ill 'cos theres 20 girls depending on me'!

1:38 pm

hurshy

2 left - one R and one S, one is a 4 and one is a 5, don't know which is which. who wants to take a stab at what i might have overlooked?

1:39 pm

hurshy

oh, nvm, got the sn5.
so it's down to one r4.

1:40 pm

LEMONed

It's like the 'ai' in the way you pronounce the word 'aisle'...so more of an 'i' sound :)

now...how do you pronounce the 'th' sound? :D

1:40 pm

Babbler

very nice fish, Anj! : )

hi to all who just joined : )

1:40 pm

hurshy

i have two 4/6, two 4/4 and one 4/5, all of which are real words to me

1:40 pm

Anj

Hursh, possibly an ra4/5...sounds like a word for anger without the usual W at the start : )

1:40 pm

Anj

Hi Babs : )

1:41 pm

Jera

Speaking of fish, I'm thinking of getting some for my son's first pet... any recommendations? I'm thinking some fat goldfish, maybe lionheads... they are pretty cool.

1:41 pm

hurshy

lemon - "th" depends. in "the" you want to vocalize while saying it, in "teeth" you don't - you're just blowing air out of your mouth while having your tongue between your teeth.

1:41 pm

Babbler

Lemon, you pronounce the 'th' sound in two ways. One is like a lisp (someone who can't say S sounds). The other is harder and you use your voice behind it. Like V. (hope this makes sense!) : )

1:42 pm

hurshy

YES, that was it anj! thank you! i have finished without the list!

1:43 pm

LEMONed

thank you! they were good describes :) I cannot seem to help saying 'th' as 'S'! thank you comes out as 'sank yu' with my accent :/

1:43 pm

Jera

Thanks, Lemon, I will try that & see how many weird looks I get...

th is like sticking your tongue out slightly but your top front teeth keep it from going too far. Don't let your cheeks puff out though or you'll look silly, warai!

1:43 pm

LEMONed

Congratulations, Hurshy-sensei!

1:43 pm

Babbler

well done, hurshy! : )

1:43 pm

EasternBlue

hi kids - just taking a 'little' mind break from create process flows....

snowy - so happy to hear your mother-in-law is doing well...

Jera - poor Sprite!! (gentle hug) for the wee one!!

Hi to all!!

1:43 pm

Babbler

(descriptions) : )

1:44 pm

Anj

wOOt Hursh : )

1:44 pm

EasternBlue

ooops...creating process flows....ergh!!

1:44 pm

hurshy

when you say "s", lemon, your teeth should be touching each other. when you say "th" (either one) you should have your tongue between them. you should practice by over-exaggerating until you get the hang of it.

1:44 pm

Anj

Hi EB : )

Right, time to go again. More footie beckons : )

Later folks : )

1:44 pm

Babbler

Lemon, I think the S and the 'th' sounds are very closely linked. Push your tongue just a little further forward towards your teeth and try that! : )

1:45 pm

Babbler

what channel Anj? Sky?

1:45 pm

hurshy

babbler - this is great - with two of us catching his mistakes, it's a lot less work :)

1:45 pm

EasternBlue

congrats on finishing (to all who have...) I haven't started yet...(will do after work today since it's a 'shortie'!!)

paranoia is the THING you feel, paranoid is the WAY you feel.

1:50 pm

Jera

Not sure what you meant, Lemon, but I don't think it's paranoid... that means thinking everyone is out to hurt you (especially when they aren't). Do you mean practice, maybe?

That's the exercise my son does, he is mildly autistic.

1:51 pm

CATHB

hi everyone - snowy have the littlies stuck themselves to the wall yet

1:51 pm

hurshy

jera - i think he might have really meant it - like he would be paranoid about looking silly

1:51 pm

LEMONed

warai...I am confuse myself x_x

I will use the smaller words from now on, I think...

1:52 pm

LEMONed

Aa! Thank you, Hurshy-sensei...so that is how you would say it! :)

1:52 pm

hurshy

no wait, lemon, i think you might have been ok. did you read my last post? is that what you meant? that you would be worried about looking silly while practicing? because if so then paranoid is a fine word.

1:52 pm

hurshy

oh, and, (confusing)

1:55 pm

LEMONed

*groans* I should really begin to check before I post :/ Thank you and sorry! And, that was what I meant, worried about looking silly...I just did not know how to explain!

1:56 pm

Jera

Oh I see... this from the guy who practices withering looks? Warai!

1:57 pm

Jera

Seriously, Lemon... feel free to practice big words on us... we are a very friendly audience!

1:59 pm

LEMONed

thank you, Jera...when it comes to saying them, though, I am lost! When I start speak so badly in school, I usually have to whisper "senkyuuhyakuhachijuusannen" to myself, to convince myself I can still talk properly!

2:08 pm

2:17 pm

LEMONed

Aa! I just looked it up, and the english word was 'cooking'...used as a noun :) What site are you using, Hurshy-sensei? (thank you for making an effort!)

2:18 pm

Jera

I'm back... someone was at the door... Lemon, I am very very impressed that you could whisper such a thing to yourself... I doubt I could if my life depended on it, warai!

2:28 pm

doxy1lover

LEMONed, where are you?

2:28 pm

Jera

SWAPS are like little pins, miniature things to trade & pin on a hat or bag... we do them to commemorate different things we're learning. Some exotic Welsh SWAPS would be very cool!

2:29 pm

*happy dance of done-ness in her honor*

3:53 pm

renfield

3:53 pm

Jera

Good evening, is a nice nightime greeting or parting phrase. Good night is usually later & often implies sleeping soon.

3:53 pm

LEMONed

Congratulations, Smaller! (I think I said that right)

Jera, I would love that! I miss the sakura trees :)

Hurshy-sensei, you are amazing!

3:54 pm

bunnyvicious

Me too smaller, I just need ONE word!

3:54 pm

Jera

No problem... how much planning time do you think is reasonable, BV? Summer can get rather unpleasant here, at least to me. But I can just make sure we meet in the AC...

3:54 pm

LEMONed

Aa...thank you, Jera! I said oyasumi nasai to Lucky, I think that is more like your 'good night'

3:55 pm

smaller

Thanks Lemon, Jera and Ren.

Ren,

3:55 pm

Jera

What do you need, BV, can I help?

3:55 pm

bunnyvicious

Oh, don't go by me, get a concensus. I'll have to rent a car, but I might could bribe my Daddy to use his! My van eats gas like crazy.

LEMONed

Aa...I am face the fact that...I must sleep. No matter how much I trying to keep awake! Oyasumi nasai, everybody...thank you for make me laugh so much this evenning! I appresiate your friendliness here ^^

4:04 pm

Lupe613

somehow that sounded better in my head -- WE take pictures of landmarks with the monkey in the pic...

4:04 pm

bunnyvicious

That's a pretty good idea, don't get the monkey though!

4:05 pm

Lupe613

just something to tie all the pics together - a common denominator if you will...

4:05 pm

sherb

4:24 pm

does "superiority" have an adverbial form?

4:24 pm

sherb

4:38 pm

Yoink

Hi Snowy, Jera, Boreetos, Une, Ren...

4:38 pm

Uneaixoise

so did you host the party the next year?

4:39 pm

boreetos

what's a "king cake"? a mardi gras thing? did you know that Fat Tuesday is also national Pancake Day?

4:39 pm

boreetos

hi Yoink!

4:39 pm

Uneaixoise

mais oui!!

4:39 pm

Jera

I'm making a King Cake for tomorrow night (we are celebrating early)!

4:39 pm

snowyowl

Whats the baby in the cake all about please?!

4:40 pm

Uneaixoise

a king cake is a traditional oval shaped cake decorated with the mardi gras colors of green, gold, and purple

4:40 pm

renfield

une - what does that mean when you find the baby?

hey yoink!!!

4:40 pm

Uneaixoise

if you find the (plastic!) baby in your piece of cake you host the party the next year!

4:40 pm

Jera

I'm so sorry for wandering off again... yes, smaller, I'm done, finished in about an hour in the wee hours of the morning... the only time I get any peace around here!

4:41 pm

snowyowl

We are having a festival themed fun day for our guiding groups on 1st April and had wondered about Mardi Gras

4:41 pm

boreetos

any clues for the top a word? I'm stumped.

4:41 pm

Jera

Okay, who knows what the colors mean? (didn't know there'd be a pop quiz, did you?)

4:41 pm

Uneaixoise

there's tons of info about it online--you might want to look at the New Orleans website, www.nola.com

4:42 pm

Jera

Oh I know, Unea... this is a quiz... I have done my research for the Girl Scout meeting tomorrow...

4:42 pm

Uneaixoise

purple for justice
gold for faith
green for power

4:43 pm

snowyowl

boreetos -its the sound we make when the doctor asks you to open your mouth wide - in plural

4:43 pm

Uneaixoise

the scouts'll have fun with that, jera! are you having your very own parade?! :-)

4:43 pm

Jera

You switched green & gold but you get some beads anyway!

4:44 pm

boreetos

thanks snowy!! Nice icon, is that a butterfly fish?

4:44 pm

Jera

Not a parade, but we are making masks & jester's hats, & earning a France patch.

4:44 pm

Uneaixoise

oh, well, that's the info that came with the cake

4:44 pm

Uneaixoise

how cool!!

4:44 pm

snowyowl

It's an angelfish boreetos - yw

4:45 pm

Jera

Really? Huh, one would expect that to be accurate... I only did on-line research... better double-check before I teach the kids!

4:45 pm

Uneaixoise

you sound like my mom--she was our scout leader for years and years and we were VERY active!

4:45 pm

boreetos

yeah! angel! that's the ticket!!

4:45 pm

snowyowl

thanks for the site -une
and thanks for the ideas Jera - they sound great for us!

4:47 pm

Uneaixoise

i just looked at a website . . . apparently the king cake info was wrong . . . apparently they're alrighty dipping into the holiday booze!

4:47 pm

Uneaixoise

already, not alrighty! sorry!

4:47 pm

Jera

For April I'm in the mood for Easter... Spring planting... Earth Day/Arbor Day... maybe even ANZAC Day!

5:21 pm

i'll never even get to start it, i'll just stare longingly at it

5:22 pm

sha

hello all

5:23 pm

evanonut

heysha

5:24 pm

helenkeller

some of you babblers may enjoy the game i play, tangleword, on iwin.com (formerly playsite.com) it's just like this, EXCEPT, you only get 2 minutes to get as many words as you can

5:26 pm

helenkeller

actually you are able to create your own custom rooms anywhere from 30 seconds to 5 minutes & you can put a limit on the ratings of the players in the room (to make it more fair for newer players)

5:27 pm

evanonut

sounds good

5:29 pm

renfield

hey hey hut!!!!

5:30 pm

evanonut

oooooooooh rennie!

just the person to cheer me up.

5:31 pm

renfield

did i ever tell you my story about my pet barracuda? his/her name was berry and i pierced his/her fin w/a gold hoop.....8)

5:32 pm

evanonut

you serious!?...you're kidding right?

5:33 pm

renfield

nope - i lived in the caribbean and a baby barracuda adopted me.....

5:34 pm

evanonut

is there more to you than meets the eye ren? hmmm - kind of ...fishy ;-)

i once had a deer that was keen on following me.

5:35 pm

renfield

berry stayed by my side when i would dive and change propellors on vessels....berry liked soggy bread,,,

5:35 pm

renfield

wow a deer!!! a baby deer or a biggie one?

5:36 pm

evanonut

was berry a boy barracuda or a girl barracuda - and i thought they were supposed to be viscous. i think you're pulling my leg.

5:37 pm

evanonut

it was a biggie one, actually, i think it may have been a hit man. i'd go on a ride about the farm in my golf cart, and he would follow me all the way, then dissapear. then, right when i'd be working up a good head of steam down a steep hill, he'd bust out in front of me.

5:37 pm

renfield

nope - berry was a baby...i don;t know how to tell a boy berracuda from a girl. but he adopted me...would i lie to you baby?...no really nut...it is true.

5:38 pm

renfield

was it a boy deer ot a girl deer?

5:38 pm

evanonut

okay - believe ya ren - how could i not? that is very cool, i've never been scuba diving - i think it sounds fun

5:39 pm

evanonut

wasn't the right time of year to tell, no one was in racks.

5:40 pm

renfield

i guess it's fun as a sport...i was trying to make a living since i had chucked everything else and ran away from the world.... i spent a lot of time under boats. lot of cool fishies

5:41 pm

renfield

oh...do deer shed their racks? if it was a guy deer maybe he was trying to attract your attention!!

5:41 pm

evanonut

i wouldn't mind chucking a few things...maybe boarding a plane to california and not looking back (not telling anyone where i went either)

5:42 pm

evanonut

hmmm, so are you suggesting that it was a boy deer and it was sweet on me? interesting - like i had a young buck!

5:42 pm

renfield

california.....hmmmmm....where ? frisco? la?

5:42 pm

helenkeller

sha, it took me awhile to make out your picture - very cool, where did you find it?

5:43 pm

evanonut

i'd say...anywhere, it's the other end of the country, thats what counts. sometimes i look at the company postings for out there and sigh, course, i sighed over the puerto rico posting too.

5:43 pm

Quick

Good evening all. I'm just getting started, again

5:44 pm

5:48 pm

renfield

5:48 pm

renfield

5:49 pm

helenkeller

and ren, every time i see your name come up, i think it's me, first 3 letters of my first name

5:49 pm

evanonut

* looks up from work * - i do believe i was driven past it on a third class tour - or was that the bahamas? i dunno, i think not.

5:50 pm

evanonut

yeah, i didn't - puerto rico was bicardi factory and shopping.

5:51 pm

renfield

helen.....it's only me.....don't mean to tease you...

5:51 pm

renfield

5:52 pm

helenkeller

lol, k ren

5:52 pm

helenkeller

catch you all later, i'll be back for the flip

5:53 pm

renfield

nope - they wouldn;t let berry in...it was a party and they said he/she had to much mercury in him/her to join the party....so i went dateless

5:53 pm

evanonut

wish work would take me there ren, most exciting thing it does for me is take me 100's of 1000's of feet underground

6:51 pm

Cathyar

hmmm....can't figure the first ga4/6...but got the others you gave me clues for hurshy

6:52 pm

hurshy

is it because you don't know what a homonym is? two words that sound exactly alike but are spelled differently...

6:52 pm

Cathyar

6:53 pm

9:47 pm

Cathyar

must be tough to adjust to having a baby around all the time tho....
my parents did that for me when i first had my son...now i'm a proud homeowner!!! and landlady!!!

9:48 pm

Cathyar

gotta love my family for helping me out when i really needed it though.

9:48 pm

doxy1lover

haven't had a baby in the house for 19 years. I'm not used to it. (my youngest is 19).

9:49 pm

Cathyar

Hang in with it Doxy... she will (or should) appreciate it in time all you and hubby now do for her.

Hello!

9:50 pm

hi harpjane

9:50 pm

Cathyar

how old is yer grandbaby Doxy?

9:50 pm

faeriekae

Harp Hi :)

9:51 pm

doxy1lover

almost 6 weeks.

9:52 pm

Cathyar

Oooh...the late night feedings stage still!!! Wow...that's a tough time. My son was colicky...my parents helped me pace the floors with him nights so i could get up to go to work without killing myself with exhaustion.

9:52 pm

doxy1lover

I'm looking forward to the small break away from everyone and everything.

9:53 pm

doxy1lover

I have to close my bedroom door all the way so I don't hear her at night. That mom hearing kicked in. She isn't back to work yet and I work 12 hour shifts.

9:54 pm

Cathyar

Doxy...I can't say that I blame you!!! It's gotta be hard...specially when u thought your baby days were over awhile ago!!!

9:55 pm

doxy1lover

It's hard, but like a parent, I'll do whatever I can for my kids. My daughter's inlaws keep thanking me for what I am doing. To me, it's just what parents do.

9:55 pm

Cathyar

Does baby's papa help out at all?

9:57 pm

Cathyar

Well...as my parents do...you deserve a medal for the love you have for your kids!

9:58 pm

Cathyar

Believe it or not...many out there would say "fend for yerself...u made yer bed, now go lay in it".

9:59 pm

Cathyar

I thank god daily my parents have the mindset u have... I hated having to depend on them for 2 years...but I dug my way out and I think they're now very proud...and they so LOVE their grandson

9:59 pm

doxy1lover

It's a long story. He was involved in a situation before he met my daughter, took responsibility for his actions. He got kicked out of a program he was in by a counselor that doesn't like him, and got sent to prison for a short time. It's a complicated situation, and he is really a decent guy. He just got put in a situation that he was unaware of at the time.

10:00 pm

doxy1lover

That is why my daughter had to move back in. He just got arrested again about 3 weeks ago.

10:00 pm

Cathyar

Oh Doxy...sounds very hard for everyone! Keep yer chin up!!! Your daughter should do the same!!!

10:01 pm

Cathyar

MAJOR CUDOS TO DOXY AND FAMILY!!!!

10:01 pm

doxy1lover

she had a rough couple of weeks. But I think things will get a little better with us helping as much as we can. We are hoping she will go to school while she is living here. She will be able to get a much better job that way.

10:03 pm

Cathyar

Doxy, your daughter is quite young?

10:03 pm

I'm just jealous of my hubby. He went to Tuscon for the weekend. He is volunteering in a PGA tournament.

10:03 pm

doxy1lover

she is 23

10:04 pm

Cathyar

Now it's his turn...you get to get away for your conference and he gets to help out on his own!

10:05 pm

Cathyar

Ahh...I was 32 when I had my son, but I already had my career somewhat established...which helped a lot.

10:05 pm

doxy1lover

no, he is in Tucson(?) now. He doesn't come back til Sunday night. I'm only going to St. George, Utah. It's about 4 hours from here and 4 hours from Las Vegas.

10:05 pm

Cathyar

Harder for a 23 year old who prob would rather be out with friends than having baby to take care of while daddy gets hauled away.

10:07 pm

Cathyar

welll...you SHOULD make a point of taking some YOU-time at some point over the next couple months!!!

10:07 pm

doxy1lover

I am going with someone from work, and we are talking about going to Mesquite, Nevada after the conference. It's a one day conference on stabilizing mothers before transporting to another hospital.

10:07 pm

Cathyar

Ahhh...so you are a nurse!!!

10:07 pm

GreyWoulf

Good Evening to all :)

10:08 pm

doxy1lover

Hubby is taking me to Arkansas in May. He is going for another golf tourny, I am going to visit a cousin.

10:08 pm

doxy1lover

10:08 pm

Cathyar

10:09 pm

GreyWoulf

He is home and sleeping in the bassinet beside me :)

He has a nebuliser treatment in an hour and a half

10:09 pm

doxy1lover

10:11 pm

Cathyar

10:11 pm

GreyWoulf

As are we all :)

Kirsten has just gone into a much needed sleep -- I will prob stay out here all night so she can have a full 8 hours uninterrupted :)

She asked me to relay her gratitude for all the well wishes, prayers, and support from everyone here :)

10:12 pm

doxy1lover

10:12 pm

GreyWoulf

10:29 pm

hootowl

Hi woulf . You planning on staying awake all night???

10:30 pm

hootowl

What do you have to do with the nebulizer?

10:31 pm

hootowl

And for how long?

10:32 pm

GreyWoulf

The nebuliser is to administer meds to help his breathing -- I am not sure how long he will have to be on it -- but the treatments are every 4 hours and on Fri he goew to the doctor to assess if we can drop the frequency to every 6

10:33 pm

cykopunk2003

I can't believe I am only 3 words away and can't find them.

10:33 pm

hootowl

Fantastic way to start a new job!

10:34 pm

GreyWoulf

And I will prob be catching catnaps here and there -- Kirsten has been at the hospital the whole time and thus not been able to get anything remotely resembling proper sleep for the past few days :)

10:34 pm

hootowl

Which one cyKo?

10:34 pm

zubie

Hello everyone :)

10:35 pm

cykopunk2003

I need te 6/21

10:35 pm

GreyWoulf

Yeah -- I even commented on that to them -- they are completely sympathetic because both of the top bosses have had to deal with similar situations

10:35 pm

hootowl

It's the plural of the 5/12

10:36 pm

cykopunk2003

I'm a moron I found it.

10:36 pm

GreyWoulf

Hey zubie :)

10:36 pm

hootowl

10:37 pm

zubie

Hi GW. :) How's the family?

10:37 pm

hootowl

Is Seb hungry or just fussing now?

10:37 pm

GreyWoulf

cyko -- there are no morons here in Babbleonia! We all overlook the obvious sometimes :)

10:38 pm

hootowl

No morons here. You see any morons woulf?

10:38 pm

GreyWoulf

Zubie -- a lot better now that we are all home together again :)

hoot -- I don't know -- gassy definitely, but I put him on his belly while preparing a bottle and he calmed down again

10:39 pm

hootowl

Whatever works!

10:39 pm

zubie

You were not all home together all this time, GW? *Confused*

10:41 pm

cykopunk2003

Ok all I have left is a ta 4/6 and ta 5/10.

10:42 pm

GreyWoulf

Sorry, zubie -- thought you knew -- Seb contracted RSV -- a respiratory virus that is particularly dangerous for infants and children --- he was admitted to the hospital on Sunday --- Mom has been staying with him the entire time -- they came home this evening :)

10:42 pm

hootowl

The 4/6 is what you get when you bite a lemon - ta**
the 5/10 is plural of 4/4 above.

10:42 pm

cykopunk2003

Found the 4/6 just need the ta 5/10 now

10:42 pm

GreyWoulf

ta4/6 -- drop the last 3 of the 7

10:43 pm

zubie

Oh dear. I'm sorry I didn't know, GW. Haven't been around much. Glad he's well enough now to be home. :D

(((GW)))

10:44 pm

GreyWoulf

10:44 pm

10:48 pm

hootowl

Thanks woulf - rhymes with latin dance

10:49 pm

hootowl

Sorry cyko - 7

10:49 pm

harpjane

qu6 rhymes with ta5, which is also a word used in a Marlon Brando flick from the 70's, Last T*** in Paris

10:51 pm

hootowl

cyko are you working of the list in Bab Anon? It's in General and is posted for every new game. Tells you how many words and their size & point value. Up in the box on top - last line.

10:51 pm

GreyWoulf

now that is a word I have NEVER encountered before!

oops -- now I think Seb is hungry-- let me evict the cat and get him :)

10:52 pm

hootowl

Seems like I'm ALWAYS encountering words I never saw before! And I got it from A2Z! I'm not 100% crazy...just 98%

10:52 pm

hootowl

Hi Harp

10:52 pm

10:53 pm

cykopunk2003

It is really great to finish one been playing for a couple weeks now.

10:53 pm

GreyWoulf

zubie -- I do that all the time :D

10:54 pm

hootowl

Happens to everyone. I always miss the plurals and other endings on the first run thru. You learn to look for them as you go along.

10:54 pm

zubie

Ok. I'm on 53. Dare I ask how many are in this grid?

10:54 pm

GreyWoulf

84

11:04 pm

hootowl

Lots of help showing up zub and this is an easy grid. Think you may already have the hard ones. Just remember it's alphbetical and you can monkey-type a few too.

11:05 pm

Angelsong

GW, ask her quick to check her e mail :)

11:06 pm

Angelsong

11:36 pm

zubie

Ah no wonder I was confused, owl. Thanks. Got that 5 now. Funny I've been wandering about all over the grid and never spotted it.

11:38 pm

hootowl

I think the eyes just refuse to cooperate after a while. I try to break up my hunting into sections. A 15 min break can amke a difference.

11:39 pm

hootowl

Of course nothing helps the typing!

11:39 pm

maaike44
