12:07 am

hurshy

nothing, krad

12:07 am

GreyWoulf

LA -- we met the other night :)

Nat -- don't put yourself down that way -- the true measure of success is the amount of joy/fun you derive from the game!

12:07 am

hurshy

w's are easy :)

12:08 am

Jen

Woo hoo, I stayed awake for the flip, etc! I'm too excited! Even changed my icon for hte greatest inventions! it's the "dial-a-down" for the football game! :)

12:09 am

hurshy

oh, i forgot, let me change my icon

12:09 am

krajcd55

I guess it means change of games?

12:09 am

hurshy

yes krad, but you don't get any prize for being here for it or anything :)

12:09 am

NatLT

leslie what is your invention?

12:09 am

GreyWoulf

Yay -- time to feed Seb -- I get to go to bed soon!! ;D

12:10 am

GreyWoulf

My invention is the nap! LOL

12:10 am

hurshy

ca7 x 2 (where's debs?)

12:10 am

kristinc

Kraj, we're just easily excited and entertained...no surprise if you hand out here for any period of time! (And I mean this in a good way friends!)

12:10 am

Jen

ooh, hurshy, I guess this means we are both gonna be hurting tomorrow morning!

Could it be my antibiotic that is making keeping me awake?

12:10 am

NatLT

of course, the pic is just small I couldn't tell

12:10 am

krajcd55

I have been playing for 6 months, I know you don't get a prize for it, just wondered what it meant. :)

12:11 am

kristinc

Okay, I didn't even start tonight but will be back tomorrow. Too sleepy and a big day ahead. TTFN. Thanks for all the help!

12:11 am

LeslieAnn

i know, scrunched down printing presses kind of look like electric chairs.

12:11 am

cybernan

Hi Everyone :)

12:12 am

hurshy

jen - it's spring break, so i can sleep in

12:12 am

cybernan

A nice sized grid tonight!

12:15 am

hootowl

Not paying attention -!
Good night to those leaving and hello to those arriving.

12:15 am

Jen

Ahhhhh, spring break! Has a lovely ring to it! I am about to fade... and FAST!

Gotta leave here about 2 to meet hubby for the weekend (yea yea, not supposed to say he;s been away for 7 weeks, but I am too pumped)

12:16 am

GreyWoulf

Have a great reunion with him, Jen!!

12:16 am

hurshy

:) jen

12:18 am

Jen

thanks woulfie! Could be interesting since we have one hotel room and a 4 1/2 year old sharing it. :)

12:19 am

GreyWoulf

It'll work out for the best, Jen ;D

I have faith :)

12:19 am

LeslieAnn

yes... interesting. good word choice, jen.

12:20 am

Jen

I have faith and BCPs! LOL We have one wonderful child and that's enough! :)

12:21 am

GreyWoulf

ROFL

12:21 am

LeslieAnn

faith and birth control pills... that would be a good band name

12:23 am

chic

I'm back and in the hunt :-)

12:24 am

Jen

hey chic!

12:27 am

Jen

Woot! And the Ws down! And with that I will head to bed since little man will wake up early being so excited to see Daddy tomorrow evening. Any W clues needed?

12:30 am

hurshy

16 grey boxes, how very lovely

12:30 am

LeslieAnn

hey nat are you still here?

12:31 am

Jen

ah'ight... see y'all in a more decent hour!!! :)

12:31 am

NatLT

yeah, what's up?

12:31 am

GreyWoulf

so i have a question for all the parents out there -- Seb has a tendency to throw himself about while in my arms unlike his sister who would calmly sit there when she was the same age -- is this just variance in babies or is it related to the gender as well?

12:31 am

LeslieAnn

i think that whenever the boys start in on world of warcraft talk, we should just start a babble conversation.

12:32 am

hurshy

i'm not a parent but my neighbors have 2 boys and the second is much calmer than the first, so i think it's prob just personality

12:32 am

LeslieAnn

i just thought of that. i feel brilliant.

12:32 am

NatLT

oh I really like that idea, maybe it will break them of it, probably not, but it would be fun for us anyway

12:32 am

chic

'nite, jen!

12:33 am

hurshy

anybody have any brilliant suggestions for the lower g, i have the ones to do with social flitting and a gh4, can't for the life of me figure the other 2

12:33 am

Onpaki

Jen, how many W's are there? --paki--

12:33 am

Jen

woulfie, I would say a variance in child... my son never tried to throw himself out of my arms but I have taken care of children who do/don't ( no gender spec)

12:33 am

hurshy

10 w's

12:34 am

hootowl

Just different strokes woulf. You were a calm baby too. But verrry curious. You stopped taking naps when you were about 2 because you had to see everything going on around you. Just be sure he doesn't skip out of your arms!

12:34 am

harpjane

invention day! I'm taking a break from my menopausal rearranging of furniture, to babble before bed (bbb).

12:34 am

LeslieAnn

hurshy do you have a ga 4 meaning a lot?

12:35 am

GreyWoulf

Thats what I thought, it's just disconcerting when he is lying there calmly and then flings himself about w/o warning -- he has almost made it to the floor a couple of times -- thank goodness for good reflexes :)

12:36 am

Onpaki

i found 9 w's & am stuck. same for all the rest. i need a break to clear my mind.

12:36 am

hurshy

leslie, if you're thinking of an sc5, then yes...

12:36 am

Jen

Naps? Did I see naps? I do not know of these things as my son stopped taking them about 22 months!! LOL

12:36 am

krajcd55

ca 7/40

LeslieAnn

12:37 am

Jera

Jen

12:38 am

GreyWoulf

Kristianna gave up her naps around 18 months -- so she must have her dad's genes relating to sleep

12:38 am

Jera

12:39 am

GreyWoulf

(*Jera*)

12:39 am

12:42 am

hurshy

12:42 am

hurshy

i'm just missing two from the top g now

12:43 am

Jera

Insomnia... too much to do so I can't turn off my mind to sleep... keep making lists in my head. So now I'll be exhausted for my road trip to Martinsburg...

12:44 am

Jera

GW, I wish I could be like your icon!

12:44 am

Dianne

in that order.

12:44 am

GreyWoulf

So do I Jera!

12:44 am

hurshy

12:45 am

Jen

Mine is a new antibiotic... but I feel myself about to crash! Hope you have sweet dreams soon... I know the feeling! That's why I take trazodone!

12:45 am

Jera

I was just about to post that very complaint, hurshy! Or the alternate spelling, owee...

12:47 am

GreyWoulf

kimber -- that's for that insight... though I know that part of his prob is that he likes to hide burps from me -- I could do the anvil dhorus on his back and he will still fall asleep rather than burp!

12:47 am

krajcd55

hurshy

12:55 am

GreyWoulf

Wow -- the 8's are both independant of the 7's -- and no where to be seen :D

12:55 am

chic

how about a clue, GW for the ca 7/48?

12:55 am

hurshy

maybe the grid thinks there is a t that we can make superlatives out of?

12:55 am

Jen

Hmmm, crazy and DC to me means 4th of July in '96 brfore they stopped allowing alcohol on the Mall!!! But, hell, whatever works! ;)

12:57 am

Jera

I did the 4th in DC the summer of '83... that was crazy enough...

Jera

Weeell, what we are thinking of doing is the 18th you can go to the Smithsonian & make a kite... then fly it in a contest the next weekend... might be a bit older than your littlie...

3:42 am

mrpresident

hi angel!

3:44 am

Angelsong

MrP: I was working on your Babble resource page the other night, and the template I had planned to use is not workable. I am unable to find a template in purple that is acceptable. Do you have another color choice?

3:46 am

mrpresident

oh Angel... you are so talented... you choose!!

I would love my kumquat kat to be a colour feature... green and white would be lovely! Thank you!

3:47 am

3:51 am

mrpresident

Thank you Angelsong!

3:52 am

mrpresident

Angel, did you see the 'additional' information that has been added with the checkboxes??

What do you think!?

3:53 am

Angelsong

I'm going to be working on it this weekend, MrP. By the way, I've added a link for your tick box list to the page online.

3:54 am

Angelsong

I'd love to see tick boxes on BJ's list as well!

3:55 am

mrpresident

thanks. we added the link onto the original page so that people could look and see if they wanted that feature... seems to be going ok!

3:56 am

Angelsong

any clues for the 8's?

3:57 am

mrpresident

compound word... se4 + ca4 meaning a pod for carrying se**

3:57 am

Atalante

ca8/45 - plural of the mayfly larva

3:57 am

Angelsong

my vote: Include the tick boxes on the alternate list!!!

4:00 am

Atalante

or if you don't know the intimate habits of the mayfly, add a letter into one of the golfing ca7s!

4:04 am

Blaze

just popped in to do a few words.... trying out the new bab site with check boxes....GREAT !! Thank you

4:09 am

lbetterman

tks for ca8

4:12 am

Dianne

Hi Haz - how are you?

4:13 am

Atalante

hi haz!

4:13 am

Haz1558

I'm well. I've gone back through the chat log to get as many clues as possible. Still have a lot of words to go!

4:14 am

Dianne

well I need 9 more but refuse to finish today because I need the excuse to log on in the morning to see what's happening :)

4:16 am

Haz1558

I confess to going back through the previous day's chat log sometimes just to see if I've missed anything.

4:17 am

Angelsong

how does one find the previous day's chat log, Haz? I'm just curious.

4:17 am

Haz1558

If you click on Yesterday's puzzle at the top of the page, it takes you to the previous day's chat log.

4:19 am

Dianne

Angel - you can alos click on Archives at the top of the page and pick any previous day.

4:20 am

Haz1558

I didn't know that, Dianne. I should note down days of special interest so that they can be revisited!

4:22 am

Dianne

I did that today because everyone was talking about something that happen a couple of days ago when it was my night time. I scrolled through the whol logs but din't seem to find anything much so I guess I had the worg day.

4:23 am

Dianne

I've got to learn how to type if I'm going to post :)

4:25 am

Angelsong

thanks, Haz and Dianne. I've added that informaton to the resource page.

4:26 am

Haz1558

It's okay - we got the gist!

4:28 am

Haz1558

Angel, I've just realised that you're up at an unearthly early hour. Have you been to bed and up early?

4:28 am

Angelsong

:) now the resource page has a favicon! check it out.

4:29 am

Angelsong

I have indeed been to bed, Haz. got up for a call of nature; will be heading back for a nap shortly.

4:30 am

Dianne

Oh my g-d - Angel you really are an addict.

4:31 am

Haz1558

That's good. You need sleep to restore all those brain cells and creative juices.

4:31 am

Angelsong

Dianne, you sound surprised......:)

4:34 am

Dianne

There are levels of addiction - are you full blown or are there an even higher levels?

4:34 am

Angelsong

I'm going to be in big trouble if Babble ever ceases to exist.

4:35 am

Dianne

Angel - if that should happen we will all rely on you to create a Babble2 ;)

4:37 am

Angelsong

full blown, no doubt. the resource page online is my creation, and I did it originally as a page stored on my hard drive, just three days after I found Babble. Took me ten minutes of playing the first day to go Pro. Oh, yes, full-blown, no doubt about that.

4:40 am

Angelsong

I wish I knew how, Dianne. not that I'd compete with Dr G.

4:40 am

Atalante

Angel - 2 useful links for you - mineral names - http://mineral.galleries.com/m inerals/by-name.htm, hebrew letters - http://www.jewfaq.org/alephbet .htm

4:52 am

Chris P

Does anyone have clues for the last 3 ca's (ca6/30, ca7/48 & ca7/44)????

4:53 am

Haz1558

Chris - it uses the q and sounds like cask

4:53 am

Atalante

yay! the babble husbands' network!

4:54 am

Haz1558

That's for the 6. Then either plural, or past tense for the 7.

4:54 am

Chris P

TYVM haz - c's now finished.

See ya later Jacs.

Morning Capone. Today's theme is 'famous inventions'.

Haz1558

Can spellcheck be regarded as one of them?

6:17 am

FMitch

LOL Haz, happy Friday's!

6:18 am

Haz1558

I'm laughing, Capone - your phonetic rendering is much more meaningful!

6:18 am

Haz1558

FMitch - is that the first computer we're seeing?

6:18 am

capone

wutz rong wit pore speleengs?

6:18 am

gramma

G'day every1. 8) Looks like a decent grid today. Are looks decieving ? I've heard they can be.

6:20 am

Haz1558

Ah, now speaking of looks being deceiving, did you know that the Japanese have a specific word for a girl who looks from behind as though she is pretty, but isn't when viewed from the front?

6:20 am

FMitch

It is indeed Haz, the forerunner, but Babble would't run on it so I chucked it out.

6:22 am

gramma

Haz, is it the same word for men?

6:22 am

Jacula

Haz - What's that word? 'Omigod'?? LOL.

Cat's got their revenge on me in usual way. Won't tell you what I've just had to clean up.:-(

6:22 am

Haz1558

Englishmen just say 'disappointment' but Japanese men apparently say 'Bakku-shan' - or so the Readers Digest informs me...

6:22 am

Jacula

Just thought of another word is could be, 'Shezaminga'.

6:23 am

Jacula

Haz - What does bakku-shan mean?

6:23 am

gramma

Men here would probably call her a 2 bagger.

6:24 am

Haz1558

Excellent - I don't know if there's a male equivalent in Japanese. Ezaminga, perhaps?

6:24 am

Jacula

LOL, Haz. Yes, it works both ways.

6:25 am

Haz1558

bakku-shan ' A girl who looks as though she might be pretty when seen from behind, but isn't when seen from the front.'

6:25 am

gramma

BRB coffee calling

6:26 am

Jacula

I wondered if there was some literal translation like 'YUK!'

I shall write that word down and tell Paul about it. Being a trucker, he'll probably find everyday use for it.:-)

6:26 am

Haz1558

Hawaiian people are also creative with their language. They have a word or phrase 'O Ka La Nokonoko' which means 'A day spent in nervous anticipation of a coughing fit'. That would look good on your sick note for work, wouldn't it?

6:27 am

Atalante

just a FYI for anyone who likes dogs - the Crufts website is officially crap, but there's a wonderful one here - http://www.bbc.co.uk/birmingha m/crufts/ - with lots and lots of pics!

6:29 am

Jacula

Haz - I'd love to see a boss's face if faced with that on a sick note.:-)

Atalante - Thanks. I missed the working dogs section on TV last night. That's the only bit that really interests me. I'm hoping to pick some footage up on the Net.

6:31 am

Jacula

The Hawaiian phrase is probably all too true if you need 'Tena pads' or 'Depends'. :-(

6:32 am

Jacula

Haz - Is that this month's copy of RD magazine you're getting the info from or one of their books? Sounds fascinating reading.

6:33 am

RHiggins

woo hoo Finished!!!!

6:34 am

Haz1558

It's the March 2006 copy - it's just a little article which tickled me.

6:34 am

Jacula

Well done RHiggins! Maybe you can clue me in on the as5/14 & 6/24? I still don't have them. Echo sounders didn't work for me.

6:35 am

Jacula

Thanks, Haz. I will check it out.

6:37 am

Atalante

wow - isnt it amazing when you remember words you can't even remember you knew - I wouldn't have ever thought about that echo sounder word, but as soon as echo sounder was mentioned, I knew it immediately

6:37 am

Atalante

and Jac - as + short form of book where words are listed

6:38 am

Jacula

I AM DONE! Thanks Atalante. That's a new word I've learned today.

6:40 am

Good Morning all :)

6:40 am

Eva

Jacula-I used to have a cabinet in which I kept my sweaters, underwear, etc. The cat liked to jump in there and rummage around the sweaters while I got dressed. One day I didn't notice and closed the door and left the house for 10 hours. Can you imagine? Had to buy a lot of new sweaters and underwear.

6:42 am

Jacula

I'm off for something to eat. I may be back later if I can disentangle myself from the ironing board. I shall watch my recorded episodes of Dalziel & Pascoe to lessen the pain of having to iron. Toodlepip!

7:41 am

musicmom

Prescription for resolution:
apology (even if you didn't do anything)+chocolate+foot massage

7:41 am

faeriekae

Oh Capone- I woman can hurt you with her tounge worse than with a slap on the face or a kick in the nu**

7:42 am

capone

lol, whats an apology?

7:42 am

faeriekae

See MusicMom - he just doen't know when to quit...

7:43 am

musicmom

Something you would be very smart to learn about very quickly. We were married 2 years when I got preg. with Sarah. Greg learned how to say "I'm sorry" really quick. He's never forgotten either.

7:43 am

capone

i'm just joking about apology btw. just needs some cooldown time. guess its agood thing i came home.

7:43 am

musicmom

Repeat after me:
'I'm Sorry Sweetheart"

7:44 am

capone

well, she already knows i'm sorry, so i saved myself from being reminded and just left it at "i apologize"

7:44 am

musicmom

Dr_God answered my prayers. We have S and ED today. YES!!!

7:56 am

faeriekae

7:56 am

lola100

musicmom, that is wonderful! You must be very proud of your kids : )

7:58 am

musicmom

Well haz yes I have but I'm fond of my icon.

8:37 am

Haz1558

Is there a built in air freshener?

8:44 am

musicmom

Is the seat cushioned? Heated?

8:45 am

faeriekae

LOL - Need to borrow a candle from Music Mom...

8:46 am

musicmom

I have apple pie, vanilla, clean linen, mango, peach and blueberry. Which would you like?

8:46 am

faeriekae

Clean Linen sounds nice for the pottie room. lol

8:47 am

musicmom

I have it in the room with the litter box<g>

8:47 am

faeriekae

Funny, I have a peach candle burning in my kitchen right now. I love it.

8:48 am

musicmom

My peach one is in my kitchen as well. Blueberry in the piano room because the room is blue, apple pie in the living room (they were housewarming gifts), vanilla in the bedroom.

8:49 am

Jen

I have a pear candle in the kitchen that I got as a gift... didn't think I'd like it, but it really neutralizes odors!

8:51 am

shorty

ok new icon since this seems to be the theme

8:51 am

faeriekae

Lets see I have Peachy King in Kitchen, Lilac Blossom in Bath and Orange Patchouli in Bedroom....I love Patchouli.....I actually wear the lotion every day and put the oil in my hair along with faerie dust.

8:52 am

faeriekae

(((((shorty))))) LOL good one.

8:52 am

Lupe613

sorry to jump in - speaking of candles - I bought some a couple of candles from Kohl's they are great - nice strong (not overpowering) scent. They are under $10. Good Morning by the way....

8:52 am

musicmom

I like Patchouli but have to be careful with it. Too much gives Greg a headache.

8:53 am

musicmom

Morning Lupe

Shorty - I love it. Whoever picked this theme is probably cringing now. <g>

8:53 am

faeriekae

Lupe - from Kohls huh...gotta go there tomorrow with friends daughter....I know what I'm looking for. Thanks

8:53 am

faeriekae

I mix my Patchouli with Vanilla to tone it down....

8:55 am

Lupe613

We had a 30% coupon so I figured I would try a couple on and get them on sale - I regret now buying more.... I usually get the candles from bath & body works during their semi-annual sales - I think I may be switching Kohl's candles from now on....

8:55 am

Haz1558

Can I recommend Yankee Candle's Cranberry Chutney?

8:55 am

Jen

I can't stand vanilla scent... reminds me too much of my great aunt's bathroom.

8:56 am

musicmom

I might try that Faerie - Vanilla doesn't bother him at all. That's one reason I wear it and have candles in that scent. I use Warm Vanilla Sugar from Bath and Body works as my every day scent in the winter. Mandarin Mango is my warm weather scent. Like anyone cares. I don't know why I am so chatty.

8:56 am

musicmom

OOOHhh haz. Thanks for that recommendation. Sounds heavenly.

8:57 am

Haz1558

It's a lovely warm fruity smell. Some of the cinammon ones are too heavy, the cranberry one is really pleasant.

8:58 am

faeriekae

Patchouli is a scent that you either like or not...I feel in love with in about 5yrs ago and have learned how to mix some wonderful scents...lucky for me John like it too.

8:59 am

musicmom

Excellent I agree about some cinnamon ones.

8:59 am

Lupe613

musicmom - I love the perfume scents from bath and body works - I have the raspberry one and the fig vanilla - LOVE them! As a matter of fact got an e-mail that they have their spring line out - I'll be going to sample them this weekend.

8:59 am

faeriekae

Haz-I have a Yankee Candle Store just down the road from me. The Cranberry was the flavor of the month last month I think. It smells good enough to eat....

9:00 am

Haz1558

Yes, I really like it and my husband has even asked that we keep buying it as he likes it so much.

9:00 am

Lupe613

I like Yankee Candles too - a little pricey though -

9:01 am

Bugzy

LOL - Lupe - I'm going to Bath and Body Works this afternoon cause Im running out of the Fig lotion. Also love Gardenia for summer :)

9:01 am

shorty

sorry mm was chatting with my niece just saw your post LOL they probably are LOL

9:01 am

Lupe613

Bugzy - did you get the latest e-mail - it has a coupon attached to it...

Lupe - i'm boring I always get the same thing at B&B. Yankees are pricey but they last a long time.Longer than the cheap candles from other places in my opinion.

faeriekae

Now Jen-Vanilla used to be worn by women as perfume when they couldn't afford it...But mixing it with other scents can be fun. I also like Victorias Secret Love Spell.

10:23 am

faeriekae

I know exactly where Secord Lake it. It is really nice there. My ex and I actually camped there a few times.

Must get going and get the house warmed up and start supper for everyone. I love doing that. Having the house smelling of good food and all dusted and ready for lots of fun. Doing some shopping for John this weekend. He needs an area rug for the dining room. Can't wait.

10:27 am

ca 7/40 is the plural golf carrier people

10:28 am

Vicuna

they're the two verb forms of the ca6 previous

10:28 am

Haz1558

Do you have the ca 6/30? If so, the 7's are plural and past tense

10:29 am

Haz1558

ca 6/30 rhymes with mask but uses the double letter tile.

10:29 am

fit1

I figgered that. I can't find th ca6 after the ca732. That is my problem

10:29 am

lola100

ca7/48 and ca7/44 past tense and plural of the ca6/30. It's a helmet. Sounds like what you do to wine while you age it, uses the double letter tile : )

11:30 am

EasternBlue

matty - hang in there...you know you've been playing for awhile when there are words you'd never heard of (BB - before Babble), and now they look 'commonplace' - altho' you'd be darned to figure out how to drop them casually into everyday conversation!! 8 )

11:30 am

Could I get a clue for the OR words? Thanks.

11:30 am

11:47 am

thanks! ga6/33?

12:01 pm

Boysaway

Hi everyone, just started - any clues for the long words?

12:01 pm

EasternBlue

Deutsch -

se + opp of stop

12:02 pm

Deutsch

aahhh, thanks EB

12:03 pm

Deutsch

boys, one is se 8 50 it's a compound word

12:03 pm

EasternBlue

boys - I only have 1 8 so far (lots of 4's & 5's)

se 8 -
what plants grow from +
(think Sherlock Holmes) The _ _ _ _ of the Missing Cat

12:04 pm

Boysaway

Thanks Easternblue and Deutsch!

12:05 pm

Cathy

Ok, refresh for my greatest invention icon. And, as a bit of an explanation, am sitting here at the moment with a fractured foot ... so these things ... along with my stylish boot cast, have taken on a greater importance in the last few days !!

12:05 pm

Deutsch

The other 8 is ca 8 55, the plural of the ca6 above it
The ca6 27 is a coarse woolen fabric

12:05 pm

EasternBlue

Cathy - what happened??!!

12:06 pm

Deutsch

very good, Cathy. How much longer will you be using this great invention?

12:07 pm

Cathy

EB, that's the odd part -- I've no idea. Just started having pain in it, but can't remember really doing anything that would have caused it. Of course, my walking (or should I say limping) around in denial for about 10 days probably didn't help the situation :) Yes, I'm a stubborn old fool, I know !! :) :)

12:08 pm

Cathy

Deutsch -- I'm told about 8 wks ... which seems REALLY long right now !!

12:08 pm

EasternBlue

Cath - I'd say brave (with an extremely high tolerance for pain) if you walked around for almost 2 weeks with a broken foot!! OUCH! and (((HUGS)))

12:09 pm

Deutsch

Cathy, just in time for summer!

12:09 pm

Cathy

yeah, a cast & boot is just what you need during a Florida summer :)

12:10 pm

Cathy

Thanks EB -- but dumb is definitely more like it !! But look on the bright side, I get to be home today and chat with my Babble friends :)

12:10 pm

Boysaway

Can't get the ca8 or ca6 - any other clues please?

12:11 pm

EasternBlue

Cathy - true...there's a bright side to every pain (hey, it's Friday - I'm giddy 8 ) )

12:13 pm

Deutsch

boys, the first ca6 is the golfer's helper
The second is the same word, but replace the last letter with a curvy letter

12:13 pm

Vicuna

ca6 (and 8) is also a type of fly. It starts like a scoundrel and ends like slang for blow someone off.

12:14 pm

Boysaway

Thanks Deutsch!

12:14 pm

Boysaway

and Vicuna.

12:14 pm

Grey boxes everywhere. Thank you for your help! Done,

Hi caitlyn -- thanks. not sure if we've chatted much before, but I just read your profile and love it. Similar story here, and my husband always told me "you'll do anything to spite your mom and prove her wrong, won't you ??? :) :)

12:20 pm

EasternBlue

caitlyn - it will be memories they treasure when the get older...

I remember my grandparents used to come up from Florida for several weeks in the summer - it was wonderful to spend that much time with them!!

12:20 pm

Yea! Harp!

Thanks, Cathy. I always try to stay upright!

12:23 pm

caitlyn

Cathy i think we met a while ago when i was a new babbler I normally come on at this time to finish

12:25 pm

Cathy

Yeah, you're right. Probably with the time difference we just don't run into each other very often. But good to get to chat with you again, caitlyn. Hope you enjoy your weekend with the grandkids. Sounds like fun!

12:43 pm

Deutsch

Hi bexetal

12:43 pm

bexetal

12:43 pm

EasternBlue

hi bex....

12:45 pm

kissmyglass04

gi4/6 ( ends in s)
but the other gi 4/7 i think i tried everything possible still nothing

12:46 pm

kissmyglass04

12:46 pm

EasternBlue

12:46 pm

kissmyglass04

thanks bex, took me a minute but got it

12:47 pm

bexetal

Hi Deutsch how are you?

12:47 pm

kissmyglass04

oh good clue too EB...ty

12:47 pm

bexetal

Thats ok...my clues are a bit fuddled! This is a bit of a toughie today.

12:49 pm

EasternBlue

bex - it's been going in 'spurts' for me...I'll get a bunch & then get stuck for a bit... : )

12:50 pm

EasternBlue

kiss - *blush* thanks!

12:50 pm

Deutsch

I'm great, bexetal! Just finished the puzzle and am trying to give coherent clues. Not much luck there, though! LOL

12:51 pm

ruthy

evening all. thats me finished

12:51 pm

EasternBlue

Deutsch - how 'bout the di 6/21, please??

12:51 pm

EasternBlue

congrats ruthy....

12:55 pm

EasternBlue

just got the di 6/21...

12:55 pm

bexetal

Yep same for me. I'll do good for a bit and then I get stuck. I was trying to go down the list of letters on babbles anonymous, but it is really difficult! hey ho its fun though!

12:55 pm

Deutsch

The di 6 looks like the di 4 5 above it only plural

12:56 pm

EasternBlue

bex - that's the spirit!! the clues and list are a whole puzzle too!!

12:56 pm

Deutsch

WTG. ruthy!

12:56 pm

bexetal

Congrats Deutsch on finishing. General question for anyone out there who wants to answer and just because I am nosey. Does everyone normally finish the grid? and has everyone been on the game for a while?

12:57 pm

bexetal

EB you are right there! I have a very simple brain, I've also had a very busy week, but Sunday I'm planning to really have a wander through all the pages and find out a little more about this new world I've found!

12:57 pm

EasternBlue

bex - I try to finish every grid...does it happen every time (I wish!!)...

I don't play every day...only when I "think" I might have enough time to try & finish...

BrandyJack's List helps (along with the clues from people much swifter than I at finishing...)

12:57 pm

Deutsch

bexetal, this is the first I've finished in a while.
I've been babbling sense last fall.

12:59 pm

EasternBlue

bex - there's a new link under the Friends of Babble - called Angelsong's Resources...it's a great compilation of tools & clues...compiled & designed by another player (along with all the fun stuff in BabAnon)

1:03 pm

bexetal

Cool I will have a little wander around them all on Sunday! thanks for answering :-)

1:04 pm

Deutsch

I'll see y'all later.

1:04 pm

Cathy

Woo Hoo !!! Finally finished !!! bex -- to answer your question, it was nearly 6 months of playing before I ever finished a grid. And, like EB, I try to finish each time now, and won't even start if I know time won't permit me to even have a chance. Not saying that's the best way to do it, but it's my personality ... and it just frustrates me if I don't have enough time. But enjoying it is really the key -- no matter what your goals are ... the game and the people are both equally fun :) Ok, I'm limping off my soap box now, crutches in hand :)

1:05 pm

kissmyglass04

i barely ever finish if that makes you feel any better, i miss the most OBVIOUS words and seem to get all the ones i pull out of my rear, i still have 55 words to go and ive been doing thisd on and off for 5 hours...:D

1:06 pm

EasternBlue

bye Deutsch!!

1:06 pm

Thank you Cathy. I love words and I used to play boggle as a kid. It is fun and the wierd words that come up wow! well done in finishing today.

1:07 pm

bexetal

Well I got about 76 words to go if that makes you feel better!

1:07 pm

Cathy

bex -- you'll find the more you play, the easier you'll recognize some of those odd words that crop up in Babble repeatedly. Might not be used in everyday conversation, but you'll see them here :)

1:07 pm

kissmyglass04

lol yes actually it does :) what does <<bexetal>> mean?

1:08 pm

bexetal

Happy Birthday Cathy!

1:08 pm

bexetal

does anyone know as4/5 it has been driving me nuts for the past 20 mins!

1:09 pm

Cathy

Thanks for the party & cheers, everyone. Guess I'd better actually get back to work, since I am supposed to be working at home :) Maybe I'll be back in tonight for a while, if any of you are around then. See ya !!

1:09 pm

bunnyvicious

Me too then, my washer broke, so I went to the laundry mat with thirteen loads... piled it all on Stephen's side of the bed.

5:07 pm

snowyowl

LOL bunny - I'd rather lose my cooker than my washing machine

5:08 pm

doxy1lover

I'm with you snowy. You can always order a pizza, but hate going to laudromat.

5:09 pm

bunnyvicious

Someone came and fixed it two weeks ago, now it's leaking and the trans it out! They want almost $400 to fix it again. i ordered the part and am doing it myself for $55. Pooh on them! Until then, five kids and a husband who works outside produce alot of dirty clothes!

5:10 pm

CATHB

ok lets have an ironing party...1 bottle of wine for each load pressed...by the end we wont care what it looks like.

5:11 pm

bunnyvicious

By the end, you'll be carrying me around on a stretcher! Wait, I don't iron..hehe...

5:11 pm

snowyowl

Nightmare!!!! I do any washing that the littlies wear when they are here and I'd forgotten how dirty they get! Kira Jane can make one square of chocolate cover vast amounts of clothes & surfaces. She is without doubt the messiest child I ever saw!

5:12 pm

CATHB

snowy...John can beat her

5:12 pm

Schroeder

LOL Snowy..

5:13 pm

bunnyvicious

You should meet my twins. If they are watching TV, 80% of the food they aim at their mouth ends up in their lap.

5:13 pm

Schroeder

Makes me happy mine is old enough to do her own laundry...one of the upsides to 14

5:15 pm

snowyowl

I reckon I could spot where Kira had sat in a room of 100 children! She makes marks with water! Her handiwork is everywhere!

5:15 pm

CATHB

bunnyvicious - sound just like my husband...had to put an apron on him tonight -eating pasta)...you can guarantee that he will drop something on his shirt....

5:15 pm

bunnyvicious

Have to relay that to the 29 year old husband..
I better get, going to start on the MOUND of clothing.
Thanks for your help Snowy, you got me to the finish line!!

5:16 pm

bunnyvicious

LOL CAThB, got me beat there!

5:16 pm

Schroeder

5:16 pm

5:45 pm

evanonut

5:46 pm

renfield

what kind of shampoo is that nut?

5:46 pm

evanonut

meant to ask ren, what's with the icon

5:46 pm

mab

Writing is my favorite invention.

5:46 pm

renfield

today is inventions - so i picked the bc patch....it was there...

5:47 pm

evanonut

ah, patch is bad now you know

5:47 pm

evanonut

get fuzzy is my favorite invention.

5:49 pm

renfield

oh no!!! everything is bad...bad candy, bad patch.....

5:49 pm

renfield

what is get fuzzy?

5:49 pm

mab

I think the patch is okay if you just use it on bicycle tires and so on.

5:49 pm

evanonut

yeah, i'm bad too }:-{)

5:50 pm

EvaNadine

whats wrong with the patch?

5:50 pm

renfield

LOL mab!!!! then the bike and the asphalt are safe!!!

5:50 pm

evanonut

mab - i stand corrected

rennie - best cartoon ever about a neurotic cat and rather unintelligent dog

5:51 pm

mab

What is wrong, evanout?

Nice choice, slinky, evanadine.

5:51 pm

renfield

i'll need to find it and read it.

5:51 pm

evanonut

EvaN - supposed to deliver higher hormone than advertised and i guess that causes more health problems than claimed.

5:51 pm

EvaNadine

thanky :)

5:51 pm

mamabear

Did I read something about a Pizza, Booze & Babble party tonite???????????????????????? ?????????????

5:52 pm

evanonut

just go to cartoons.com mab

5:52 pm

EvaNadine

criminey!
i have a GYN appt in 2 months + i was gonna ask for the patch...
:/

5:52 pm

evanonut

sorry, i mean ren

mab - wrong?

5:52 pm

hurshy

i use the patch too, and heard about this - there's just a slightly higher risk of some things than with the pill - but i don't think it's a huge deal

5:53 pm

hurshy

the risks increase with age of course

5:53 pm

EvaNadine

i was on depo before, but i wanted to try something different to see if it had different side-effects

5:53 pm

renfield

mama...torg's gonnan have a pizza, beer, and babble party!!!

5:53 pm

evanonut

EvaN - i had serious problems with the patch, not health related mind you, but making it stick. i'd get undressed at night and there it would be wrapped around my bra or stuck to my undies, and i swear i needed duct tape to make is stick in the humid summer times.

5:54 pm

hurshy

it can't be too much of a worry since my doctor didn't say anything like "you might want to consider going back to the pill" when i was in last month

5:54 pm

EvaNadine

ooh! i want in on that party!!

5:54 pm

renfield

gentle paper tape works well....

5:54 pm

hurshy

i haven't had any trouble with it sticking
and no side effects either

5:55 pm

evanonut

shower every day hursh? (wink wink)

5:55 pm

renfield

too much humidity here and my skin type is an oil well

5:55 pm

hurshy

not always, actually :) but even when i do it sticks fine

5:56 pm

renfield

how long does it take torg to get home???? party party party

5:56 pm

evanonut

ewe ren, perhaps we could enlist you to solve the energy crisis...

5:57 pm

renfield

right nut...i think i could!!! and it keeps me young looking!!

5:57 pm

evanonut

well hursh - i wish i could have made it stick, it was better than taking these pills everyday, i wanted to try the ring, but i couldn't find out if it was made of latex.

5:57 pm

EvaNadine

well, depo works, but ive put on weight (also my own fault for not being active enough!), im tired a lot, and im moody...
just wanted to try something new to see if it has different effects

5:58 pm

hurshy

couldn't you ask the doctor what the ring was made of?

5:58 pm

evanonut

i once took a higher hormone pill, it made me so i hated my self, i was an evil, vile, tempermental woman.

5:59 pm

mamabear

Hi E-Nut!!!! How's Hubby Nut doing????

5:59 pm

hurshy

i wonder how long i have to wait before i can do the permanent solution - husband vasectomy. the doctors may not be willing to do it yet since we have no kids and we're still quite young

6:00 pm

EvaNadine

evano:

found this on the net:
"In October 2001, the US Food and Drug Administration approved Nuva Ring, a vaginal contraceptive ring developed by Organon, Inc. Nuva Ring is a non-biodegradable, flexible, colorless ring made up of a polymer of ethylene vinyl acetate and magnesium stearate."

6:01 pm

hurshy

i wonder if it, like, moves during sex, or what?

6:02 pm

mab

I went through menopause in my 30s and couldn't get pregnant beore that anyway. When I think of the years I struggled with the diaphram (sp) - slippery disk flying across room as I ineptly tried to insert it. I never got the hang of it.

6:02 pm

renfield

nut...the mental picture of a latex ring allergic reaction.... priceless.....ewewewewe

6:02 pm

EvaNadine

hurshy -- *supposedly* it stays put + you cant feel it.
i think i wouldnt be able to get over *knowing* its there...heh

6:03 pm

hurshy

i dunno, it sounds kinda good
the patch is ugly, it always accumulates discoloration around the edges

6:04 pm

hurshy

the ring you put in a new one once a month, right?

6:04 pm

EvaNadine

i think its one of those things that you just either love or hate...heh

6:04 pm

EvaNadine

yup, in for 3 weeks, out for 1

6:05 pm

hurshy

of course seasonale is also appealing but that's back to every day AND in a way i like having periods because then i KNOW i'm not pregnant.

6:05 pm

EvaNadine

see, part of why i loved depo so much is that i NEVER got a period...
wear what i want, do what i want, never hafta worry...its lovely.
;)

6:06 pm

hurshy

it would be lovely... except for that lack of reassurance. (i REALLY don't like babies)

6:07 pm

EvaNadine

heh, me too...
another part of the reason im looking to switch...

6:08 pm

Vicuna

testing..testing...
(Don't mind me, just seeing if this thing is on...)

6:08 pm

hurshy

this whole 99% effective thing freaks me out. i want 100%!!!

6:09 pm

EvaNadine

hurshy...i believe youre looking for "gettin none" then...hehe

6:10 pm

hurshy

hey vi - it's on :)

6:10 pm

hurshy

i should go make some dinner

6:10 pm

hurshy

thanks for the girl talk :)

6:11 pm

Vicuna

Yup! :)

6:13 pm

renfield

6:14 pm

evanonut

sorry, just got back - great news on the ring
rennie - my learning experience came from condoms
mama bear - better and better, just got back from a nice littel heart to heart with him.

6:15 pm

EvaNadine

6:15 pm

Vicuna

6:16 pm

renfield

6:22 pm

Vicuna

HelenK - a wise choice! Babbleland is not for the squeamish tonight/today!

6:23 pm

evanonut

and with protection - love/ly

6:24 pm

renfield

no love and lie allowed

6:24 pm

helenkeller

lol vic, yep, you guys might want to keep in mind that this site is used by impressionable 14 year olds too - there's nothing like the voice of experience

6:24 pm

evanonut

nor love and lye

6:25 pm

helenkeller

just saying - try & not scare them off birth control completely, lol

6:25 pm

evanonut

better from us mature and decent people than those you find in "other" places

6:25 pm

renfield

as always nut...you are the best!!!!

6:25 pm

helenkeller

true enough evan

6:25 pm

evanonut

* takes a bow *

6:27 pm

Vicuna

(Yeah, although with any luck we might scare them off the need for birth control altogether, if you know what I mean...)

6:28 pm

evanonut

dunno, at 14 i could have used birth control.

6:28 pm

evanonut

okay, that "looked" bad.

6:29 pm

renfield

nut!!!!!!!

6:29 pm

helenkeller

LOL vic

6:30 pm

evanonut

no no no no no no no, what i "meant" was that i could have used some of those side effects. missing school once a month was strongly frowned upon by those teachers.

6:30 pm

renfield

ok....8)
hey how about that co 5 - which direct does it go?

6:30 pm

evanonut

it's not like i was heading out to a bunch of or 6/24's or anything.

6:31 pm

Vicuna

LOL nut!

6:32 pm

evanonut

i could have been saint nut back then

6:32 pm

Vicuna

renfield

6:35 pm

Vicuna

6:37 pm

evanonut

oooh, i hope mad scientist

6:39 pm

renfield

neither vi - i'm ambulance chasing bean counting terminator rolled into one

6:40 pm

evanonut

bummer ren, i was hoping for mad scientist about to crack the cure for skin cancer - are you S U R E?

6:40 pm

renfield

sorry to disappoint you nut....i am mad though.....

6:41 pm

Vicuna

Whoa...

6:41 pm

renfield

i'm sure...my brother is the mad scientist!!!!

6:41 pm

evanonut

so ren = mad

and I = nut

no wonder we get on so well.

6:42 pm

renfield

LOL nut!!!!!

6:42 pm

evanonut

* considers a career on stage *

6:42 pm

Vicuna

Hmm... I'm afraid I'm merely eccentric.

6:43 pm

evanonut

eccentric, such a lovely word

6:44 pm

renfield

that works for me vi - no problem w/ eccentrics! i like the word....

6:44 pm

Vicuna

Okay, time to tuck the darling children into bed. At last!Goodnight!

6:46 pm

evanonut

6:46 pm

renfield

nite vi!!!

6:48 pm

helenkeller

i am having a greater than ususal problem with lag here tonight & have refreshed about a kajillion times, any suggestions?

6:49 pm

evanonut

helen - stand up, spin your chair as fast as it will go, jump on the middle and hang on. once you manage that, it won't seem so slow.

6:50 pm

helenkeller

k, so that explains the 'nut' part of your name, lol

6:50 pm

evanonut

aw, and i was being serious

6:54 pm

renfield

bbl - gotta p/u supper

6:54 pm

evanonut

hey, not to resort to the old subject or anything, just opening last weeks mail you know, and turns out my gyne is retiring. well, okay, but the name of the guy she has replacing her is....Bill Murray.

i don't think i can do that!

6:55 pm

doxy1lover

good luck with that one evan

6:56 pm

evanonut

i mean, i could never have an appointment of feb. 2nd...ever

6:56 pm

evanonut

he'd probably come in and say goood morning, i hope you have your booties on cause its cooooold out there, iiiits ground hog day

6:57 pm

evanonut

or even worse, he'd come in with venkman, and they'd go on about not crossing the beams as they looked down at me in my stirrups.

6:59 pm

evanonut

he could even come in an present himself as the man that knew too little, how reassuring that would be

7:00 pm

evanonut

ah well, good night to you

7:01 pm

doxy1lover

good night evan

7:09 pm

aknitter

ca 6/30 is an old word for helmet. there used to be a bar in boston called the ca**** and flaggon

7:44 pm

torgone

c6/30 = "A helmet, especially an ornate visorless headpiece of the 16th century"

7:45 pm

7:45 pm

LeslieAnn

The new addition to Friends of Babble - Angelsong's Resources - has a link to Babbler's profile, for up-to-the-minute theme info.

mamabear

How about Beethoven's 5th.... you know, to go with the pizza!!!!!

8:43 pm

72 Temple Owl

Torgone's 5th is rapidly disappearing ..

8:45 pm

mamabear

Tomorrow is Tools...... could be dangerous.

8:45 pm

Jacula

Erm, I said hello a while ago.

8:46 pm

mamabear

Hi Jac!!!! I didn't see you come in, I'm sorry... how are you doing?

8:46 pm

72 Temple Owl

hi jacs!

8:46 pm

Jacula

The theme was 'new inventions'.

8:46 pm

mamabear

OK. I checked back, you came on before I did, Jac, so I really didn't miss your entrance!!!! I so hate when I do that.....

8:47 pm

torgone

Over 105 posts ago Jac - We have short attention spans ...
Hi Jac!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

8:47 pm

Jacula

Not my fault if I'm sharing my computer tonight. LOL.

8:47 pm

mamabear

Torgone, did you put something in my drink? I feel dizzy all of a sudden.....

8:48 pm

Jacula

I'm just wondering who is going to claim 'the chopper' for tomorrow's 'Tools' theme. LOL.

8:50 pm

jeffer

ok give up a clue please for ca 6/27 - 2nd one

8:52 pm

Jacula

Erm.. just wondering if that term translates from UK to US? An 'axe' in UK terms can be what you chop wood down with, i.e. a chopper, and can also refer to an electric guitar. A 'chopper' can be an axe (not a guitar), a type of bicycle, a helicopter, and a name for 'male tackle'.

8:53 pm

Jacula

ca6/27 - a golfer's attendant. (The one who drags the golf clubs around.)

8:53 pm

torgone

We just took delivery of a giant laser cutting machine, and all I could think of was Sean Connery strapped to the table saying "You expect me to talk, Goldfinger?" and Goldfinger saying "No Mr. Bond. I expect you to DIE!"

8:54 pm

jeffer

Ta, Jacula, the other ca 6/27 please

8:54 pm

Jacula

LOL, Torgone.

8:55 pm

Jacula

The other ca6/27 - A coarse woolen fabric, yarn, or ribbon binding.

Also the name of a fly.

8:55 pm

GreyWoulf

Good Evening to all!!

And how are things tonight?

8:56 pm

jeffer

thats too hard - give me the golfer one again

8:56 pm

pbr

Evening Grey Woulf

8:56 pm

Jacula

Look up Trichoptera. for the fly.

HIYA WOLFIE!(((((((((HUG)))))))))))

8:56 pm

jeffer

kidding, jacula, thanks

8:57 pm

GreyWoulf

((**Jac**))

8:57 pm

Jacula

That's a sweet sleepy wolf in your icon, Wolfie.

8:57 pm

pbr

Things seem very good tonight !

8:57 pm

72 Temple Owl

jeffer: almost all of the c's are derivations of the golfer's helper

Hi woulf!

8:58 pm

torgone

Jac - There's a humour magazine & website called "Axes & Alleys". You've confirmed what I was thinking about the name ..

8:58 pm

GreyWoulf

actually, I think it is a lab, Jac --- but I have been using this pic for a while now -- it best reflects how I have been playing -- with Seb sleeping on my chest :)

8:59 pm

GreyWoulf

HI Temple -- hows things?

9:00 pm

torgone

Heya GW! How's that baby doing?

9:00 pm

72 Temple Owl

things are good, woulf....how's seb?

9:01 pm

GreyWoulf

He's doing great, torgone -- especially when I don't overfeed him :) I did so earlier and ended up witnessing a formula eruption that landed all over me! :D

9:02 pm

jeffer

tanks temple owl, i have all of those

9:02 pm

Lupe613

Just sneaking in to say hello to all you night owls - don't usually have a chance to babble in the evenings!

9:03 pm

Jacula

Wolfie, you cannot complain aboutt Seb simply reminding you to look for the most common Babble word - Etna. LOL.

9:03 pm

GreyWoulf

Hey Lupe!! (*Hug*) - I don't get to see you much anymore :(

BTW -- Kristianna loves the CD at least as much as I do ;)

9:03 pm

mamabear

Torgone.... you didn't answer me..... what did you put in my drink, hon?

9:03 pm

72 Temple Owl

hey lupe!
guys - i really must go now - see you tomorrow! *blows kisses to all* happy babbling!

9:04 pm

GreyWoulf

So the latest news for me on the job front is that they have reassigned me -- I am now in the front office as a service dispatcher

9:04 pm

Lupe613

Hey Grey! Rumor was that you were part of the babble night crew! The baby must be getting big!!!

9:04 pm

mamabear

nite Temple (de ja vu!)
Hi GW!
Hi Lupe!

9:04 pm

Lupe613

Hi - Bye Temple - enjoy your weekend!

9:05 pm

GreyWoulf

Bye Temple -- Sleep well -- I'll see you on Sun -- got company over so won't be here tomorrow

9:05 pm

torgone

Ha! Been there a few times. They will definitely overflow the tank if you let them!

9:05 pm

Lupe613

Hey Mama!! Geez - haven't "seen" you in a while either!

9:05 pm

GreyWoulf

(((***Mama***)))

9:06 pm

Jacula

Hi and bye to all those coming and going.

9:06 pm

Lupe613

Hi Jacula!

9:06 pm

mamabear

good to see you too, Lupe!!! working too many hours.... and no time at work to "sneak babble" either.... harumph!!!!

9:06 pm

GreyWoulf

Lupe -- the truth is that sometimes the only way to get him to calm down at night is to sit at the computer with him on my chest -- I think the hum of the fan plus the beating of my heart soothes him :) -- so what better way to spend the time at the screen than here?! ;D

9:07 pm

Lupe613

I've been pretty busy as well. Been mostly lurking - sticking in my two cents when the topic's good.

9:07 pm

mamabear

He's a Babble Baby!

9:07 pm

Jacula

Once I've finished my *shock horror* CIGARETTE (at least I didn't say fag and confuse you lot in US, LOL) I'm off to bed to cuddle up to my man.

9:07 pm

Lupe613

Oh my God Grey that is so beautiful. Whatever it takes to soothe them right???

9:08 pm

Lupe613

LOL Jacula

9:08 pm

GreyWoulf

Btw, the best part of my new position is that I may be able to Babble during my lunch breaks!

9:08 pm

helenkeller

there, done, i liked this one much better than the last two - does anyone need any help?

9:08 pm

Lupe613

want to finish my last 90 words?

9:09 pm

GreyWoulf

Exactly Lupe -- I used to drive for nearly two hours every day to get Kristianna to take naps her first year of life :)

9:09 pm

Lupe613

Cool - maybe I'll see you during the day from time to time.

9:09 pm

Jacula

*~*~*~FIREWORKS FOR THE BLIND ONE, OOPS! MEANT HELEN KELLER*~*~*~*~

9:09 pm

helenkeller

LOL lupe, uh, no, i don't think so, but good luck with that

9:10 pm

GreyWoulf

I hope so, Lupe

9:10 pm

mamabear

LOL Lupe - I need 115!!!!

9:10 pm

helenkeller

lol jacula, thanks!

9:10 pm

torgone

Not much better than holding a baby in your arms ..

9:10 pm

Lupe613

I was blessed Grey - my son slept from 9p to 6a - which was my schedule the whole time I was pregnant.

9:10 pm

Jacula

Hi Hell, knew you'd appreciate the greeting.x

9:10 pm

Lupe613

Hey - I tried hellen...

9:11 pm

mamabear

Babble at lunch, GW??? COOL!!!! Maybe "nooners" are in the forecast!!! LOL

9:11 pm

helenkeller

that's my philosophy too lupe: it never hurts to ask

9:12 pm

GreyWoulf

one of these nights I promise I WILL get a pic of him sleeping to share with everyone :)

9:12 pm

torgone

Well, there is holding a consenting adult of the opposite sex in your arms . . .

9:12 pm

GreyWoulf

Very true torgone

9:12 pm

torgone

. .If I remember correctly .. . .

9:12 pm

mamabear

I see the "5th" is starting to take effect, Torg!!!!

9:12 pm

Lupe613

Well - I'm off. Have a great weekend. I hope to "see" you all next week. Big hugs and smooches to the kids Grey. Mama, enjoy this weather - it won't last. Helen - are you sure about that last 90? Goodnight all.

9:13 pm

mamabear

good nite Lupe!!!!!!

9:13 pm

helenkeller

good night lupe, nope, i'm sure, lol

9:13 pm

GreyWoulf

(*Lupe*) -- G'nite and have a great weekend as well!

9:15 pm

Jacula

What's this about consenting adults? Have I missed something?

I think me and my other half were very consenting earlier, but, with teenaged kids in the house who knows who is going to burst into what room? And, at 3.14 am my beloved has just gone off to the Land of Nod after consuming much red vino. I'm fine, but I doubt he's 'up' to it. LOL.

9:16 pm

helenkeller

ok, last call for clues, otherwise i'll see you all later, have a great evening/day, whatever applies!

9:17 pm

Jacula

Helen - I finished the grid UK lunchtime. Just here to chat now. Sleep in peace.x

9:17 pm

mamabear

LOL Jac.... you'll have to catch him on the "flip side"!!!!

9:17 pm

jeffer

jacula that fly clue won't, for me (no looking it up)
can you add another angle?

9:18 pm

GreyWoulf

Mama -- I am not going to touch that straight line -- you make it too easy for me -- besides as a gentleman I must refrain from comment ;)

9:19 pm

helenkeller

jacula, i understand that, this is a nice place to chat with interesting, well-versed folks

9:19 pm

GreyWoulf

helen -- have a great night and wekend -- and to think only a short time ago you expressed concern over finishing a grid

*sniff*

How quickly they grow up... ;D

9:19 pm

Jacula

Wolfie - LOL on both counts.

9:20 pm

mamabear

se 8 anyone?

9:20 pm

helenkeller

awww grey, you remember, i'm touched

9:21 pm

mamabear

LOL, GW!!!! That's why I'm glad I'm not a gentleman, I can say what I want!!!!! LOL

9:21 pm

helenkeller

se + talking horse + 'basket****'

9:21 pm

GreyWoulf

helen -- spend enough time with me and you find that I tend to remember too much at times -- it has disconcerted more than one ex girlfriend :D

9:22 pm

Jacula

Jeffer - if you have the first 6/27 then knock off the last letter and add a curly consonant in place of it.

Will that do you? *Jeeze! This bloody purists!* ROFLOL.

9:22 pm

mamabear

thanks helen!!!! glad I didn't waste too many brain cells on that one....

9:22 pm

helenkeller

now i feel like i've been useful (i hope)

9:22 pm

torgone

Mama - When you used to roll joints, and separate out the bits that didn't get you high, but you saved those bits in a container, in case you wanted to plant them at some later time - the name of that container.

9:23 pm

mamabear

Why, Torgone..... I neva!!!!!!!

9:23 pm

Jacula

Torg - WARNING!!!!! TOO MUCH INFO! You never know who's watching.

9:23 pm

helenkeller

lol grey, good thing someone excels at remembering, they say memory goes with age & i am tending to agree more & more

9:24 pm

torgone

Well, that's what I've heard . . .

9:25 pm

helenkeller

tor, i think i heard that too, of course i am older now & have some memory issues, hmmmmmmm . . . . . .

9:25 pm

torgone

And by "rolling joints" I of course meant "Bending your ankle the wrong way" . . .(How's that?)

9:25 pm

mamabear

Let's ask GW.... I'm sure he REMEMBERS!!!!!

9:26 pm

GreyWoulf

LOL, tor

9:26 pm

helenkeller

well, of course we knew that tor, in fact that explains why i just had a hip replacement, yeah, that's the ticket!

9:27 pm

GreyWoulf

huh.....remembers what?

;D

9:27 pm

Jacula

I've never been a pothead. I knew, eve back in 60s/70s that it messed your brain cells up.

9:28 pm

helenkeller

lol grey

9:29 pm

Jacula

However, I believe it gives good, if unlawful, relief for rheumatism etc. You can take it in cakes, so eat it rather than smoke it. Pensioners' Pot Cake. LOL.

9:30 pm

helenkeller

jacula, may i ask, when exactly did we start talking about anything illegal? now that, for sure, i do not recall

9:31 pm

jeffer

Jacula - thank you kindly. it was for my last two words, but i really was looking for something between the "trichoptera" and the "curly consonant" way, i promise.

9:31 pm

Jacula

With Torgone 9.25pm - 'And by "rolling joints" I of course meant "Bending your ankle the wrong way" . . .(How's that?)'

9:31 pm

torgone

Let's get back to babies, and/or consenting adults of the opposite sex . ..(sorry, my bad)

9:32 pm

helenkeller

lol jac, nice recovery

9:33 pm

Jacula

Not really a recovery, Helen, since, like I said, I have never 'done' drugs.

9:33 pm

GreyWoulf

di6/21?

9:34 pm

Jacula

Anyway, let's take up Torg's suggestion of getting back to babies or consenting adult.... or maybe even Babble clues, if anyone still needs any...

9:34 pm

helenkeller

renfield

nite helen

9:37 pm

Jacula

di6/21 - a plural word for a character used in printing to indicate a cross reference or footnote. Sounds very Shakespearian or battlefield since it's a 'double dagger'.

9:38 pm

mamabear

AND well protected, Rennie!!!!

9:38 pm

Jacula

Failing that, just sling an 'es' on the end of your expires di4/5!

9:39 pm

Jacula

Hiya Ren. SIGN IN!
