12:09 am

bbnaz

12:10 am

bbnaz

Between you and the vaunted BrandyJack, my babbling skills are manifold!

12:10 am

licketySplitAUS

And it can handle words up to 28 letters in size!

12:10 am

SueQ

12:14 am

Avaneko

12:14 am

stidmama

(((sorry))) sorry....

12:15 am

sprite

onyx, it sure is! Nice grid today?

12:15 am

Kickstart70

hey now...slimer should be valid.

12:15 am

Kickstart70

slimes

12:15 am

joey

Kick - i just had the same thought

12:15 am

onyx

ok one, my screen blinks too much tho

12:15 am

cybernan

Good evening all!

12:16 am

stidmama

hi nan!

12:16 am

cybernan

229 --- too big for me on this format -- will skip and wait for a smaller one --- good luck.

12:16 am

georgiaj

left

12:16 am

stidmama

okay, stalled out. going for Lickety's list.. brb

12:18 am

wassup

got the list

12:18 am

stidmama

later nan! (course, you could stick around and just visit)

12:19 am

joey

anyone having problems? i keep getting the message - word couldn't be added

12:20 am

Kickstart70

limer should also be valid...to lime something is reasonable (builder's lime, if not the fruit)

12:20 am

Avaneko

I just got that.

12:20 am

wassup

mine is just S L O W

12:20 am

Ornith

yeah, I had to reload the page

12:21 am

lodestar

I am getting "the message" too.,, and having problems adding words to my list.

12:21 am

wassup

it's probably just really busy right now. usually gets better within 30 min or so after the flip

12:21 am

stidmama

I think a lot of people are here, all adding words that they are finding.

12:21 am

sprite

Ok, so I wasn't the only one.

12:22 am

joey

thanks, I will go slower

12:22 am

licketySplitAUS

Could be general internet issues - somewhere on the path to the server.

12:22 am

joey

mitt

12:22 am

joey

oops

12:22 am

wassup

thanks joey!

12:22 am

joey

yw

12:25 am

lodestar

hmmmm... the plural of men (mens) isn't accepted.... not a problem with the server stalling either. Maybe I'm goofy. I'm up way past my bedtime.

12:26 am

lodestar

I mean possessive not plural

12:26 am

wassup

no, it never takes it. i don't know why either

12:26 am

stidmama

possessives dont' work...

12:26 am

licketySplitAUS

lodestar - mens is not in the enable dictionary

12:26 am

sprite

'men' is already plural.
I suggested to Dr_G to make the cursor jump back to the Add Word window after posting a message in the log, but he says that is counter-intuitive.

12:27 am

wassup

oh...

12:27 am

lodestar

Well, that would explain it! Thanks

12:27 am

Ornith

I just wish I could click on the letters

12:27 am

sprite

possessives must have an apostrophe, right?

12:27 am

licketySplitAUS

drG knows about that one - probably slip it in soon

12:27 am

Ornith

except for a few pronouns, sprite

12:28 am

lodestar

note

12:28 am

lodestar

rats! sorry

12:29 am

sprite

Looks like my intuition is more of the kind we babblers share, because we all keep posting words in the log after posting messages in the log...

12:30 am

lodestar

It is a problem for sure. I saw it often in the last puzzle.

12:30 am

lodestar

rems

12:30 am

Kickstart70

anyone have the 9 yet?

12:31 am

lodestar

g'nite all. I'm making too many mistakes!

12:31 am

sprite

lodestar is on a roll

12:33 am

stidmama

good night lodestar, but don't leave on our account! LOL

12:33 am

wassup

yeah lodestar...we WELCOME your mistakes... :)

12:37 am

sprite

It's not you, lodestar, it is the site. I posted my suggestion to Dr_God once more, hope he will reconsider.

12:38 am

Kickstart70

crap, I guess latin isn't accepted ;)

12:39 am

sprite

Kickstart, some words are. Others aren't. Welcome to the dark mysteries of the enable dictionary ;)

12:39 am

Kickstart70

I figured 'diem' was common enough

12:39 am

Ornith

kickstart, it seems to include medical and botanical terms that most people would consider latin

12:39 am

sprite

Like in carpe diem. I would agree. Enable doesn't, however. :)

12:40 am

sleeky

where is diem in the puzzle?

12:40 am

earbox

Yeah, it's not actually there.

12:40 am

sprite

Would have to be spelled deim in this grid.

12:40 am

wassup

hehe...

12:41 am

Kickstart70

yeah, but I tried anyway ;)

12:41 am

wassup

sue, you still there? got the list?

12:41 am

sprite

Hey, that is good babble technique. I always try anything I see, think I see, wish I could see or hope is in there somewhere. Along with anything remotely likely to be a word. And it works ;)

12:42 am

stidmama

AHA! so that's your secret! you monkeytype real fast...LOL

12:42 am

sleeky

what's odd is it didn't say "diem does not exist in the puzzle" It said it wasn't in the dictionary.

12:42 am

stidmama

and here we-all thought you were just really brilliant... ;-)

12:43 am

wassup

sleeky, i've noticed that on the new server it does that sometimes

12:43 am

Kickstart70

I just cannot see the three other j words. :(

12:43 am

sprite

Now you've got me right, stidmama :) Monkeytyping away and among the rubbish some good stuff arises...

12:43 am

Ornith

kickstart, change the vowel in the one you just used

12:44 am

FranMag

organ should be in the grid

12:44 am

SueQ

yeah, i'm here, one more word and i MUST go nighty night. I have to get up at 6:30 for church, singing tomorrow

12:44 am

Ornith

fran: or oranges!

12:44 am

Kickstart70

Ornith...maybe you think I have a different one :)

12:44 am

Ornith

hehe

12:44 am

Avaneko

I agree!

12:44 am

Ornith

was hoping you did so I could ask for a clue

12:44 am

stidmama

that's how I play word games in Spanish and German LOL! good way to learn new vocabulary...

12:44 am

wassup

well then, farewell. see you at 4 tomorrow!

12:44 am

sprite

Nope, the one you used in your post was close, Kick.

12:45 am

Kickstart70

ornith: I have the equivalent of 'joke'

12:45 am

Ornith

easier in spanish, stidmama, but in german that has to be hard!

12:45 am

Ornith

same here kickstart

12:45 am

stidmama

good night SueQ, enjoy the service!

12:45 am

Kickstart70

but there's only one vowel next to j

12:46 am

Avaneko

I've found that French helps a lot.

12:46 am

Ornith

Avaneko, almost any romance language helps.

12:46 am

Kickstart70

Avenko: 9 years of high school french and I can't speak it

12:46 am

sprite

Another J is airplane + not off.

12:46 am

Kickstart70

err...not just high school

12:46 am

sprite

and plural

12:46 am

sleeky

kickstart - don't get too hung up on vowels. ;-)

12:47 am

Avaneko

Yeah. I'm not fluent either.

12:48 am

sprite

and yet another one is J + long time.

12:48 am

Ornith

that's all of em, sprite

12:49 am

Kickstart70

Awesome, got all 4 now

12:49 am

Ornith

...three of which are not in the dictionary

12:49 am

earbox

I'm still short one.

12:49 am

earbox

I have the one in the dict.

12:49 am

mrpresident

gr9/72

12:50 am

Ornith

lol earbox. the 6 is the plural of the 5 and that last clue was the other 4

12:50 am

sprite

12:50 am

Avaneko

I have that.

12:51 am

mrpresident

Hi Sprite!!

12:51 am

earbox

Meric, ornith.

12:51 am

Kickstart70

gran9?

12:51 am

Ornith

ok, I have 2 of the an4/4s, and monkeytyping is getting me nowhere on the other ans or the as. anyone?

12:51 am

earbox

Merci, even.

12:51 am

Ornith

I have "against" and "picnic bugs"

12:52 am

sprite

Kick, that is giving away a lot of letters of one word...

12:52 am

Avaneko

Think of emo people. They have a lot of an***

12:53 am

joey

an plus second vowel plus snake

12:53 am

Ornith

huh, must have missed that monkeytyping

12:53 am

Ornith

12:54 am

Ornith

12:54 am

Avaneko

What you do to a drink

12:54 am

Avaneko

Kickstart70

Avenko: murder it.

12:55 am

earbox

Suck it down gladly, then order a second.

12:55 am

Kickstart70

2:10 am

licketySplitAUS

Actually - I could provide a list! But I'd be kicked out of the country!

2:10 am

2:10 am

wassup

nah, just your town...

2:10 am

Ornith

you can't say [bleep] on the babble screen?

2:11 am

wassup

how about he6? (I have one of the 4/5s and it's plural, but not the other)

2:14 am

SummerBreeze44

I've tried 3 times and it just won't change it's mind.:/

2:14 am

Ornith

er, the first he6

2:14 am

Ornith

2:14 am

sprite

Past tense of another He4.

2:14 am

sprite

Summer: but the elevator ones work.

2:15 am

sprite

And the ones in torn up clothes.

2:15 am

Freckle

de5/12 hints?

2:15 am

Ornith

looks like it's the he4 I don't have, no way to make the past tense of the ones I do

2:15 am

Ornith

that's pretty weird - all these compounds except the ones people actually use

2:16 am

Kateq

think WWII salute as verb

2:16 am

sprite

Think of the hitler greeting for that He4.
And for the De5/12, it rhymes with this He4.

2:16 am

Avaneko

The Nazis he**** Hitler

2:16 am

Ornith

I have that one...

2:18 am

MikeyInBerlin

hello, Sprite! :-)

2:18 am

wassup

2:19 am

Ornith

2:19 am

SummerBreeze44

lol :)

2:19 am

Ornith

it'll take lots of thingmen, but not hitmen, mikey

2:19 am

sprite

Mikey: just commenting on 'hitmen' not being valid, while 'titmen' is ( in grids that allow that word, of course, not this one)

2:20 am

MikeyInBerlin

oh, really? how strange! :-P

2:20 am

sprite

But I must admit, I take a titman over a hitman any day.

2:20 am

Avaneko

HA!

MikeyInBerlin

2:23 am

Avaneko

Lol. Maybe.

2:23 am

Ornith

I dunno sprite... I have several ti pairs

2:23 am

the last ti 5/10 is pretty rough -- either that or i've forgotten my SAT vocabulary =P

6:41 am

Eva

Fran-I haven't looked at any of the lists yet, so don't know the order of things. the only ti6/21 I have so far is the plural of the thing you use to make sure your cake in the oven doesn't cook for too long.

6:50 am

movieman

FranMag

dbridges, look for a three letter word that means males and add that to the plural of gr 5/14

6:58 am

Wizard13335

tile stats say how many words you've found that originate from that tile/how many words total that originate from that tile

6:58 am

movieman

dbridges - the 9 is the plural of the gr5+adult males....

bex777

7:03 am

mattygroves

Nope - care to pass ona clue ;)?

7:03 am

evanonut

good morning in babble-land

7:04 am

marsch

In the tile stats, for H it says 2/19. I found held (6)and hire (5) -- which only adds to 11; what am I not doing right??

7:04 am

bex777

if someone if being horrible you could say they were being na*** but if there was more than 1 person they might be na*****

7:04 am

Jera

Good morning, evanonut!

7:04 am

dbridges

the second number is how many words there are to be formed on that letter

7:05 am

mattygroves

Got it - thanks Bex!

7:05 am

dbridges

when people gilve clues like gr 5/14, then it's letters/points. on the actual tile stats its words done/ words total

7:06 am

evanonut

(((jera))) - hiya buddy

7:08 am

Jera

How are you today, evanonut? I am still recovering from my daughter's birthday party yesterday!

7:08 am

Tanga

I can't believe hitmen isn't a word.

7:08 am

evanonut

ouch - how olds the daugher jera (if i disappear, just changeing icon)

7:09 am

Jera

The big 1-0, it was a blast. They set up the tent & camped out in the backyard!

7:09 am

evanonut

oh man! that's near teenage!

7:10 am

Jera

I know, I'm getting scared!

7:10 am

evanonut

looks like we still gotta refresh to see our new i cons

7:11 am

Jera

Yes, that confused me at first... I almost asked, but figured refreshing cures so many ills, I'd just do that...

7:11 am

evanonut

i'm sure she'll be a model teenaged daughter - so, how s this grid today

7:12 am

Frances

evanonut
Like the icon

7:12 am

Jera

NOt too bad at first, but the second half seems tricky. Pretty normal, I guess! I'm at 140 with no list, took me about an hour, if that helps gauge

7:12 am

mattygroves

I haven't yet upgraded, so whilst I have the tile count, I don't get the te7/14 and all that stuff (I made that bit)

7:13 am

evanonut

thankyou frances - former jav thrower her
good gage jera, means i'll finish with about 1/3 of the words

7:14 am

Jera

Of course, I will be slowing down due to the recently added 4-year-old awake factor... he cried so hard last night, wanted to sleep outside with the girls!

7:14 am

evanonut

poor kid, make him a tent in the living room!

7:16 am

mattygroves

I'm failing...with 111 words left. sigh

7:17 am

Jera

He was so exhausted (one big reason for not allowing it) he just keeled over on the couch beside me.

7:18 am

Jera

I think I'll send him out to wake the girls about 9... heh, heh, heh...

7:18 am

Angelsong

first se4 is elusive. help? thanks!

7:18 am

evanonut

matt: learning by doing!
jera: sinister!

7:19 am

evanonut

sorry angel, only up to twelve

7:21 am

Jera

I only have 2 se4's no idea if they are first... but one is partial & the other rhymes with respected gentlemen (yes, si*) but second vowel + s

7:22 am

Angelsong

I have those Jera, thanks..I'm looking for an se4/7

7:23 am

Jera

I will do the same, Angelsong.. haven't broken out the list yet...

7:23 am

macuser

se4/7

7:23 am

macuser

se + no **'s ands or buts

7:24 am

macuser

7:24 am

Jera

Thanks, macuser... I also found a se5/8 in my hunt!

7:24 am

Angelsong

thankks, macuser..was looking at the wrong S.

7:24 am

macuser

7:24 am

Jera

Me too Angels song, but that's how I found the 5!

7:24 am

Jera

It's all good at this point...

7:25 am

Uneaixoise

7:25 am

Jera

My son is sitting in a milkcrate, with another one over him... looks like he's in a cage... so funny!

7:26 am

mattygroves

Oooh - I know that one. It's the little box in the upper right hand corner of the chat box (next to the speech bubble)

7:26 am

evanonut

7:26 am

Uneaixoise

Hurrah! though I claim both flags - born and raised in New York...married an Englishman. Someone had to (boom boom)

7:28 am

Jera

Do you have dual citizenship, matty? Pleased to meet you, btw!

7:28 am

mattygroves

My daughter does...I have the forms...but that's as far as I got - though I've been here 18 years!

7:29 am

cliffopa

managed to get 125 words while lurking - although you can't truly lurk anymore since people can see who is online :)

7:29 am

Jera

I'm curious because I've been researching citizenship/immigration laws recently, because of the hoopla over here about the Mexican illegals

7:31 am

macuser

7:32 am

macuser

yes, wizard, that would be a correct assumption

7:32 am

cliffopa

i consider all of you my 'friends' :)

7:32 am

Jera

Never mind, I figured it out... much simpler with not having to be approved!

7:32 am

Wizard13335

What kind of mac are you using? I have a Mac Mini.

7:32 am

evanonut

but doesn't the post office close on sunday? i'm sure my brother in law doesn't work on sunday.

7:33 am

evanonut

cliffy could be a politician

7:33 am

cliffopa

did i say sunday or monday?

7:33 am

macuser

iMac here, wizard

7:33 am

cliffopa

i actually was a politician.

7:33 am

Wizard13335

Cool. Is it one of the new intel iMacs?

7:34 am

mattygroves

I have one of the Js - can anyone help with the rest? At least how many letters? Anything?

7:34 am

evanonut

sorry, cliffy, thought you said today, not monday, these words are so small

7:34 am

macuser

no, not yet, wizard

7:34 am

evanonut

7:34 am

macuser

cliff

7:35 am

macuser

cliff

7:36 am

cliffopa

7:36 am

evanonut

hey cliffy, i'm so honored...you mentioned me in your profile!

7:36 am

Jera

*looks sadly at her lack of any J words*

7:37 am

cliffopa

7:37 am

Uneaixoise

je4/9 to joke

7:37 am

mattygroves

Ohhh - thanks - got those two - one more to get (I got the obvious jokey one)

7:37 am

Jera

Got the je4!

7:37 am

evanonut

yes, yahoo does have that superior something

7:38 am

mattygroves

AOL bites.

7:38 am

Uneaixoise

je4/9 (first one)--just delete the middle letter in je5/20

7:38 am

cliffopa

but the important thing is you are always making me laugh ms. nutty. i like it when people make me laugh.

7:38 am

Jera

The je5 is not obvious to me... will stare at grid a bit...

7:38 am

Wizard13335

I prefer Google Talk for IM

7:38 am

mattygroves

I used...a crossword solver. I am evil, I tell you. Any clues on the final J?

7:38 am

evanonut

probably cause i like it when people laugh silly girl

7:39 am

Uneaixoise

je5 is French for token, like subway token

7:39 am

Jera

I have 2 je4's now! Don't know French for subway token...

7:39 am

cliffopa

my husband can't figure out what i'm laughing at when i'm in my studio/office and he is watching cnn.

7:40 am

Uneaixoise

it's been in the grid several times before :-)

7:40 am

mattygroves

Is it? Oh. But can anyone give me a clue for the remaining j? I've got JE4/9, je5/20 and je6/33

7:40 am

evanonut

french token, la coin!

7:40 am

mattygroves

This is only the second time I've played...

7:40 am

Uneaixoise

first 3 letters are "a very fast plane"

7:40 am

Jera

*looks sad because jenga, a great game, is not in the grid*

7:40 am

cliffopa

cnn makes me sad and angry. and bored. i like babble much better. always something new instead of the same old same old.

7:40 am

Uneaixoise

matty, i know, i was answering Jera

7:40 am

evanonut

cliffy = o

7:41 am

jera: i know! =( i was a bit disappointed too

7:41 am

squishies

7:41 am

Jera

I was a much better player before my hands started shaking so much...

7:42 am

evanonut

was going to say, i'm driven to babble by the tv's constant sports news status. i consider myself and enlightened woman, love sprots actually. but can't stand to sit and watch a bunch of retired jocks trying to be heard over each other.

7:42 am

cliffopa

jera, i have a 9 year old niece who is unbeaten in jenga. i swear she has magic powers.

7:42 am

mattygroves

Jera

My daughter loves it too, she just turned 10...

7:45 am

evanonut

jera is too kind

7:45 am

Jera

I know evano, it's one of my few faults... ;>

7:45 am

Jera

No definition, matty!

7:45 am

evanonut

7:47 am

7:48 am

Jera

9:12 am

movieman

baobab

the clue for na/7 can be very culturally specific

Douglas

In the Jethro Tull song, "Bungle in the Jungle,"
The rivers are full of crocodile *******,
and He who made kittens put snakes in the grass.
He's a lover of life but a player of pawns ---
yes, the King on His sunset lies waiting for dawn
to light up His Jungle
as play is resumed.
The monkeys seem willing to strike up the tune.

9:18 am

amandacath

...so there's a word that rhymes with grass, we can assume?

9:19 am

mattygroves

Fabulous - a Tull fan - man after my own heart. "Sitting on a park bench...eyeing little girls with bad intent..."

"I really don't mind if you sit this one out/your word's but a whisper, your deafness a SHOUT"

9:19 am

mattygroves

No, it doesn't rhyme with grass..not really, anyway. Plural of an adjective meaning unpleasant, or evil, or bad?

9:19 am

Douglas

Not exactly, amandacath, Tull was taking poetic license

9:20 am

baobab

9:27 am

movieman

YW, Amanda....

9:27 am

Boysaway

The only drawback about this new site is that you can no longer lurk in the background pretending you're not here!

9:27 am

Douglas

If someone can be disgruntled, can they be gruntled as well?

9:28 am

amandacath

I'm all for it, Douglas!

9:28 am

mattygroves

The first fi 5/18 (not the one you do to your nails)

9:28 am

movieman

And how come someone can have a lack of gorm, but gorm itself isn't a word....

9:29 am

dcseain

my friends and i fully beleive is shevelling a gruntling th world.

9:29 am

Boysaway

MATTY, MEADOW

9:29 am

movieman

So, technically, the whole world is gormless!!!!!

9:30 am

Douglas

But if I said to someone "Ah, I'm feeling very gruntled today," meaning to say "Ah, I'm feeling very contented today," people might not understand what I'm trying to say without further explanation

9:30 am

billie1987

has anybody got any clues for a .....

9:30 am

Boysaway

lol, movieman, beacuse no-one has any gorm!

9:30 am

mattygroves

Meadow? Beginning FI...? RE gruntled - we'll know! We can also be ept, ruth, kempt...

9:30 am

dcseain

they'll learn, Douglas

9:30 am

amandacath

But then that would be their problem and not yours, wouldn't it, Douglas?

9:31 am

Boysaway

Fi

9:31 am

baobab

sa/7 clue anyone?

9:31 am

Douglas

Well, yes, but I'm generally opposed on principle to saying words that I know other people wouldn't understand...

9:32 am

movieman

The 1st he4/5 plz...

9:32 am

amandacath

That makes it difficult to talk to alot of people, I'm afraid. Or at least to have fun while doing it... :)

9:33 am

Douglas

When I think about the word "gruntled," I remember that Monty Python embarassment sketch where the announcer tests for embarassment by saying "Shoe...megaphone...grunties"

9:33 am

baobab

he 4/5 = employ

9:33 am

amandacath

Movie, are you looking for the Hitler word?

9:33 am

brandyjack

So, Douglas. Does that mean you won't use any words of more than two syllables? I find that confuses most people....

9:35 am

movieman

yes, amanda, but now I'm stuck on the he6/4.....

9:35 am

Boysaway

s7, add an insect, third vowel and a consonant

9:35 am

Uneaixoise

he6/4 saluted Hitler

9:35 am

movieman

Sorry,. I meant the he6/24.....

9:35 am

mattygroves

fi 5 meadow

9:35 am

Douglas

You have a point, brandyjack

9:36 am

Douglas

I didn't expect the Hitler salute to be in the dictionary...

9:36 am

amandacath

can't help you there, but we can look together

9:36 am

Uneaixoise

did you get the past tense of the Hitler salute?

9:36 am

amandacath

Oh duh! he6/24 thing for your head

9:36 am

brandyjack

It's one of the reasons I hang out in here. Where else can you find so many people utterly confused and unable to see a simple 4 letter, single syllable word...... And willing to broadcast the fact....

9:37 am

brandyjack

it's not the nine letter words that we find last.....

9:37 am

Boysaway

Yes BJ,even when the word is staring you in the face!

9:37 am

Supid stupid me. Stupid, stupid stupid me. Time to go to the pub, methinks. If I turn everything off, will this thing remember my progress (59 words to find...though could be difficult after a few beers...)

9:42 am

amandacath

Any help for my last j? I've got the casino ones and the funny one...

9:42 am

baobab

why can't there be words *i* use on a daily basis here, i never talk about immature newts... but thanks, did get the word!

9:42 am

Boysaway

Lolly, the word starts the same way as a word meaning fury, then add the abbreviation for street

9:42 am

Jacula

I think I'd better stop skiving off here in the study and go and help Paul repaint the garden furniture!8(

9:42 am

brandyjack

it seems to be a common problem for those who toalk too much.... 8}

9:43 am

10:00 am

amandacath

Thanks, baobab, that way my last n-word. The other is another word for grandmothers

hurshy

10:01 am

amandacath

10:02 am

baobab

i need one more he/6, not the one that's the past tense of the fascist saluting

10:29 am

evanonut

but it was a favorite of mine, that and canard

10:30 am

hurshy

you'll want to know this when you have your actors come for the test - "voulez vous couchez avec moi ce soir?"

10:30 am

baobab

evanonut, are you thinking "de rien"?

10:30 am

hurshy

baobab - soldiers and football players wear them on their heads

10:30 am

evanonut

yes yes! i know that one, hurshy, except it is a request, and i was thinking more of a requirement.

baobab, i think you could be correct

10:30 am

amandacath

baobab - you mean the thing you wear on your head?

10:31 am

72 Temple Owl

anyone finding the site very slow ?

10:31 am

baobab

yes, got i t now

10:31 am

hurshy

10:31 am

MikeyInBerlin

'de rien' is another way of saying it, besides 'il n'y a pas de quoi', sure

10:32 am

baobab

hi/7 please

10:32 am

MikeyInBerlin

'of nothing'.....think nothing of it

10:32 am

evanonut

only to load 72 - then its good

i can't translate hursh, but i'm thinking it sounds good.

10:32 am

baobab

de rien is less formal than il n'ya pas de quoi

10:32 am

hurshy

unless you only want one at a time, nut

10:32 am

evanonut

10:34 am

hurshy

10:34 am

10:35 am

MikeyInBerlin

oh my, evanonut; a toy party, hmm?

hurshy

10:35 am

MikeyInBerlin

10:35 am

evanonut

i doubt i could shock you mikey

10:35 am

amandacath

So if the hi6's aren't hitmen (which I've attempted over and over, it still won't work) what are they?

10:35 am

hurshy

i don't even want to know what a toy party is i think

10:35 am

MikeyInBerlin

10:38 am

hurshy

10:38 am

amandacath

10:38 am

hurshy

yeah but i mean the ones we're looking for, the 6's and the 7

10:38 am

evanonut

and both could be, if seriously missused, lewd and crass.

10:38 am

Minski

oh....and I wouldn't mind some help with the His either.

oh, btw; don't know if all of you are aware of this yet, but if you re-upload your photos/images for your icon/avatar, you can have them display bigger in your bio pages.....the old site automatically resized them to tiny 60 x 60 pixel thumbnails, but this one doesn't.....it just displays them even a little smaller than that in the chat log, but they are much bigger now in the bio pages; not sure if they will display there to whatever size you upload, or if it's a maximum sizing of 200 x 200 pixels, but that is the size of the one i've uploaded, and it displays at that size there.....just thought you all might like to know that, anyhow! ;-)

11:24 am

MikeyInBerlin

ja; actually 'Guss' has several different meanings in our language, some of which would be 'pour', 'shower', 'gush', etc.....'flush', 'deluge', that sort of thing; but it can also mean 'cast' or 'casting'.....as one would do in a mold, and also means 'cast' iron! :-)

11:24 am

Jen

MikeyInBerlin

hmm; i don't know, wassup.....any dogs we've had (our family) have been very good; very well trained, etc.....but cats? man; they go everywhere they shouldn't, and can't be taught not to.....i'm just glad mine is outside a lot, not wreaking so much havoc in our home here! :-P lol

11:33 am

Jera

Speaking of cute kitties... I was spring cleaning & found a box of kitty baby pictures... gotta scan them & use as icons...

My cats are very well-behaved...

11:34 am

well, maybe we've been unlucky or you've been lucky... our cats were always so good. sure, they sat on the furniture and shed alot, but never had any accidents. our dogs are well trained and pretty good, they're just so stinkin' big!

11:36 am

Jera

Oh snowy, how terrible.

i'm looking for a picture of my dogs. should have been easy enough, but they're all with the kids!

11:39 am

MikeyInBerlin

hmm; i love dogs, and have always found them easier to live with than cats.....they learn what not to do, whereas a cat doesn't care, and only lives to please themselves; and i find dog a much better companion, 'cos they can go places and do more with you! :-) we have one here; Heinrich's tiny toy Yorkie, 'Fritz', and i'm getting one of my own again soon.....checking out breeders in the area, and what puppies might be available soon! :-)

11:40 am

MikeyInBerlin

ach; that was supposed to be 'where as' :-P

11:40 am

hurshy

no, mikey, you had it right, actually.

11:40 am

te5/10 rhymes with the vehicle used to carry a dead person

11:40 am

I like dogs too - but other peoples!

11:40 am

tarajane

many thanx It was there all aong, but I wasn't looking in the right place. Finished. Love the new fireworks thing

11:41 am

MikeyInBerlin

well, ja; but i'd intended to type 2 separate words, which also works, anyhow :-P

11:41 am

snowyowl

congrats tarajane!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

11:41 am

tarajane

I have three pomeranians, also known as pome-hooligans.

11:42 am

MikeyInBerlin

it's one word auf Deutsch, 'waehrend'

11:42 am

hurshy

it's one word in english also, splitting it would be incorrect.

11:42 am

Jera

I must have extremely weird cats, or have some sort of special cat-attracting pheromones... I have never had an aloof cat!

11:42 am

MikeyInBerlin

but then how many English 2-word tems are one word in German? lol

11:42 am

wassup

mikey, perhaps i should have a yorkie! refresh to see my beasts

11:43 am

MikeyInBerlin

lol, wassup; maybe so.....might be much easier to manage! :-P

11:43 am

wassup

ok, maybe not. it didn't take!

11:43 am

MikeyInBerlin

ah, Boxers, wassup, ja; i had to open your bio page to see the photo big enough to make it out! ;-)

11:43 am

wassup

if you click on my profile you'll see them bigger

11:43 am

wassup

yeah, what you said

11:43 am

MikeyInBerlin

well no *wonder*.....lol; not a breed i'd probably have!

11:44 am

hurshy

jera - i think people with aloof cats are more people who work all day - if you leave a cat alone a lot, i think it decides it doesn't need you and finds its own resources of entertainment, but if you spend time with them, they bond with you. also like people.

11:44 am

MikeyInBerlin

and 2 of them together? yikes; like bulls in a china shop, i imagine! ;-)

11:44 am

wassup

they are good dogs, just too big for our little house.we also have a 4 year old and a 5 year old (kids) Too busy!

Exactly, it's just a good thing they don't have tails!

11:45 am

MikeyInBerlin

lol, ja; your tables would be swept clean, though! ;-)

11:46 am

wassup

we had a rottweiler about 6 years ago. he was HUGE! He didn't have his tail docked, so it was like swinging a baseball bat around the house.

11:46 am

Jera

Maybe that's it, hurshy, I've always been a homebody

11:46 am

hurshy

are there 18, or 19, t4's?

11:46 am

hurshy

me too jera :)

11:47 am

Jera

The Sprite wants a dog & asked when she could have one. I told her when she's old enough to be totally responsible for it & leaving me out of it!

11:47 am

wassup

not me. I wish i was a homebody. i can never sit still. even now, i'm doing about 5 different things. folding laundry, chatting, babbling, drinking coffee, and i have cookies in the oven

11:48 am

wassup

jera, that would be when she's 18 and living on her own...

11:48 am

Jera

I multitask at home as well!

11:48 am

Jera

Probably wassup

11:49 am

MikeyInBerlin

ja; i don't go in for big stocky dogs like that, really.....i will probably get a collie, Doberman or Deutscherschaefferhund, though; but while they're also good sized dogs, they're very intelligent, alert, responsive, trainable dogs.....there are some/many breeds i know i could never live with! :-P i grew up with rough Collies and Dobermans, and they were wonderful dogs :-)

11:49 am

bendamalina

Hey wassup...what is your avatar?

11:50 am

Jen

Labs are great as long as you don't mind goofy! :)

11:50 am

Jera

And keep it off me when I come to visit! Dogs love smelling me prolly cuz I smell like cats!

11:50 am

wassup

stewie griffin from family guy is still showing up for me, but my dogs are in my profile. What are you seeing? :)

11:50 am

MikeyInBerlin

bendamalina; you can click on anyone's little pawn type icon to the right of their name to view their bio page, and then you'll see the avatar pic full size :-)

11:51 am

Jera

Some of the smaller dogs are cute (practically cats) but they also tend to be noisy. That would be dangerous for the dog if it were around me much...

11:51 am

snowyowl

LOL Jen - My son & his wife have just had a lab. If she grows into her paws they are in big trouble! She has completley cured the children of their fear of dogs tho'!

11:51 am

wassup

i think the smaller dogs have a lot more attitude too. our big dogs are silent!

11:52 am

bendamalina

ah, i guess it's the family guy thing

11:52 am

MikeyInBerlin

lol, Jen; the Labrador Retriever is one of the breeds i know i couldn't live with.....big, goofy and klutzy; any i've been around tend to knock things over and get in the way all the time, seeking attention and/or food constantly, it seems! :-P

11:52 am

wassup

oh, he's in a diaper. i love him. :)

11:52 am

bendamalina

it's small, so it looked a little like a character from a very cute japanese video game i like to play

11:52 am

Jera

We had a German Shepherd when I was a kid... best dog in the world (not that I'm biased)... he was a retired military dog & spookily well-trained. He'd sleep with a child but rip an attacker to shreds!

11:52 am

Jen

my lab is awesome with everyone and everything... except other dogs! I guess if that's the worst of him, then I can handle it.

11:53 am

wassup

jera, that's what i want.

11:53 am

Jen

Mikey, ours is actually LESS clumsy than our cat! LOL

11:54 am

3:10 pm

LeslieAnn

plural of a li 5/12... if you have a corona you might want to li*** it up

3:11 pm

stidmama

I haven't changed it in a couple weeks... usually I only change them when they go dry! LOL but this year I put them out earlier than normal. Do you think they spoiled from lack of use?

3:12 pm

tndaisy1960

just get a little bleach and clean them out with that. and of course rinse them very well after.

3:12 pm

stidmama

thanks daisy! will go out and grab them in a while so they are dry before tomorrow. :-)

3:13 pm

tndaisy1960

they'll love you for it, i'm sure

3:13 pm

katieW -- just saw your comment about the rain... did the match go well? did your team win?

3:19 pm

hurshy

add a different consonant to the end of the li4 fruit

3:19 pm

hurshy

3:20 pm

hurshy

he 6/24 is past tense of the 4 before it

3:20 pm

KatieMcG

Yes they one 2-1 and it was the last game of the season so it was really good. Very strange happenings with the other team and food poisoning though.

3:20 pm

KatieMcG

*won*

3:20 pm

stidmama

oh dear, food poisoning is no fun. Too bad it spoiled their day. But glad your team did well. :-)

3:21 pm

Lolly

cheers hurshy! legend!

3:21 pm

KatieMcG

it was the team we hate the most so we weren't that bothered but their fans weren't happy at all :) At one point it looked like the game would be cancelled, then I wouldn't have been pleased with a 220 mile trip for nothing

3:21 pm

LeslieAnn

hursh, ever since you gave that clue about the little mermaid i've had those songs running through my head

3:22 pm

stidmama

3:25 pm

stidmama

3:26 pm

stidmama

the sa 6/18 is like sa*** claus only change the last vowel and add a consonant. plural for the 7

3:26 pm

knutmeg

I'm not too sad, she needed a nap really bad, and the other babies are a *LOT* more mobile than she, so I don't have to worry about her as long as she is sleeping.

3:26 pm

stidmama
