1:00 am

sprite

Hihihi, jilli... it's easy for me to say, the flip comes here at 7 am.

1:00 am

Krys10

i haven't looked back in the log yet - feeling lazy - any clues for the 7's?

1:01 am

jillibus

10 pm here, sprite -- too tempting

1:01 am

Krys10

1:01 am

sprite

1:01 am

tazpink

1:01 am

Krys10

ack, sorry

1:01 am

herinfernallady

i got coffe its all good

1:02 am

herinfernallady

i see that we have a small grid again, pout

1:02 am

sprite

That will keep on happening until (if ever) drG sees fit to fix it, Krys. Never mind.

1:03 am

jillibus

Okay, I said I would get to work and not chat, but I paid no attention to myslelf - as usual

1:03 am

Krys10

ah, right, the icon; actually i don't play scrabble that much, but i was inspired after reading "word freak" and I noticed that I had some scrabble letters with different point values than the standard english set.

sprite, I asked DrG about it recently and he said it wasn't easy to fix and he wasn't going to.

1:03 am

sprite

You just have this social side of your personality that is somehow stronger, jilli ;)

1:03 am

Krys10

the icon would be better if my name were Kate :)

1:04 am

tazpink

i play scrabble and i feel babble has helped my game

1:04 am

knutmeg

lol! Mom finished the puzzle in a car, an hour outside of St. Louis, MO, in the dark, on the back of a deposit slip, using a picture phone to get the grid. Go mom!

1:04 am

jillibus

Dr G said he couldn't fix it - that was a couple of days ago when he was in the chat dealing with a cou-le of trolls

1:04 am

sprite

I disagree with the first part, Krys, but I figured as much as the last part.

1:04 am

knutmeg

with extra special kudos to her driver, Katie who helped :-)

1:04 am

herinfernallady

1:05 am

knut, that is just great, LOL!

1:05 am

jillibus

WOW on jai, knut!!! She's a real champ!

1:05 am

Krys10

this is what he wrote back:
There is no solution that doesn't involve introducing more, bigger problems. This is something that I do not plan to change.

1:06 am

firefly779

wait, I'm confused - we'll have small grids forever now?? what problem?? I'm lost

1:06 am

sprite

Well, I will say it only once more and then remain silent: just changing the cursor position after entering a chat message would solve it.

1:06 am

bleugirl2

i like small grids. i may actually have time to do them now.

1:06 am

Krys10

the problem with how the chat box cursor doesn't bounce back into the word entry cursor box, so we all accidentally put our guesses in the chat log

1:06 am

Krys10

i like small grids better too ;)

1:06 am

knutmeg

Message from Jai: "Neither rain, snow, or lack of computer will stop me from babbling, LOL"

2:22 am

oggy

any clues for the e words please/thanks

2:22 am

Douglas

But the reason I mention it is that there's been a bit of a kerfuffle on this side of the little pond, over President Bush's first veto...

2:22 am

chj

i was hoping to find adze but there was no a in the puzzle

2:22 am

2:42 am

Preethi

2:43 am

chj

Please excuse my ignorance because im new here, but why do people keep comingf online and asking how many letters there are in the puzzle..it's right there on the screen.. does that stat disappear after the two week trial period?

2:44 am

herinfernallady

yah preethi, knew you could doit, yes chj sadly after 2 weeks the stat screen disappears if you don't pay

2:44 am

rolin

ok..maybe im thick...but i cant go anywhere from the santas helper...its an el what?

2:44 am

herinfernallady

thats why i asked if there was a z used today

2:44 am

herinfernallady

rolin hello

2:45 am

Preethi

24 words more

2:45 am

Merk

Greetings all! I've had my nose in the grid and have finished. Actually I like these shorter grids ... I have more of my day left to get other things finished.

2:45 am

herinfernallady

rolling there is no el but if you add letters you get the de clues bar one, trying to help preethi and thats the only clue my brain could come out with

2:45 am

Flask1

Morning Rolin!

2:45 am

oggy

you only get the extras when u go pro and is does not cost a lot to go pro

2:45 am

herinfernallady

yah merk

2:46 am

Flask1

Morning Merk!!

2:46 am

chj

im with you oggy

2:46 am

Merk

Someone talked me into pro b/c I thought I didn't need to. But I am so glad that I did.

2:46 am

Merk

It is worth every penny ... and it's not many pennies actually for a lifetime use.

2:47 am

oggy

i think is cost me about 5pounds

2:47 am

chj

i dont mean to insult anyone but its a small amount for a lifetime membership and it is rather annoying to have to continually answer questions for those of you who are handicapped by not having the statistics in front of you

2:47 am

herinfernallady

i would spend on pro but there is 3 reasons i wont which i wont go into

2:47 am

Flask1

No....infact, it's remarkably cheap!!

2:48 am

herinfernallady

trust me i am very appreciative of the fact that people pay, i am just a very broke person right now

2:48 am

Atalante

ah we don't mind - and there's good reasons why some people can't go pro

2:48 am

Flask1

Now you have got me wondering Herin!!!!!

2:48 am

Zoki

well, chj, no one is forcing you to answer any clues :P

2:49 am

oggy

herin maybe one day you can go pro.

2:49 am

Flask1

Morning Atal!

2:49 am

herinfernallady

flask i have had no response from dr god regarding a problem i have had and today i am in too much of a happy mood to explain, plus i don't like boot marks on my butt

2:50 am

chj

i agree, but i am a helpful person by nature..it just gets old after a while trying to help people who could easily answer their own questions

2:50 am

herinfernallady

i have to wait another 4 hrs till my friends plane lands so i am way to hyper, i thought i would see if anyone needed help and i wanted to see if the z actually was used

2:51 am

herinfernallady

chj i go to liketys list to see what the word count for the day is, if no lickty then i ask chat room

2:51 am

Atalante

what happened to herdarkmistress, herinfernallady? can't you stick to one name please!!

2:51 am

Merk

My short term memory stinks, but I don't think I typed a z in any word today. It's purely ornamental.

2:51 am

Flask1

lol.......well actually and technically you still play the same game as the rest of us...who ARE pro.......but without any fringe benefits!

2:52 am

herinfernallady

this is my name atalante and i don't know herdarkmistress. i told you that i was someone else but that was ages ago

2:52 am

chj

merk..its good to have a babler from china

2:52 am

herinfernallady

merk i think the z is space filler

2:52 am

Merk

I love your icon Flask. I'm too busy to change mine. People can just see my panda and know it is me.

2:52 am

Atalante

ah right. yeah.

2:52 am

Zoki

this game is open to everyone guys... let's get over the status...

2:52 am

herinfernallady

flask i would like to upgrade but trying to finish studies and move house

2:53 am

Merk

Unusual to have an unused letter smack dab in the middle of the grid.

2:53 am

herinfernallady

merk you seen the panda puppys?

2:53 am

Flask1

Thanks Merk!

2:53 am

Merk

It's good to be in China.

2:54 am

chj

there were other unused letters..i dont believe the r in the upper left or the n below it were used

2:54 am

Zoki

and just as many pro players ask for clues than non... alright, that's it for me!

2:54 am

Flask1

I bet it is Merk.....its somewhere I would love to visit!

2:54 am

Merk

No, I am in the northeast, they are in the southwest.

2:55 am

Merk

One nice thing is I can start the grid on one day and if I'm too busy to finish, I can go back until 1 the next day.

2:55 am

chj

zoki..you are quite right, it's just the level of the info requested..well im sorry i brought the subject up..it seems to be a sore point for some

2:56 am

chj

merk..if you dont mind my asking, are you a native or just visiting

2:56 am

Haz1558

Good morning all.

2:57 am

2:57 am

Atalante

hi haz!

2:57 am

chj

hi haz..is that a springer spaniel in your icon

2:57 am

Flask1

chj:....I think its sad if people are made to feel obliged to go pro!

2:57 am

FMitch

Morning Haz

2:57 am

rolin

herin...are you in the uk?

2:57 am

Flask1

Morning Haz......how are you???

2:57 am

oggy

hi haz

2:58 am

Haz1558

Yes, Spangle is a Welsh Springer spaniel - well spotted chj!

2:58 am

chj

theyre lovely dogs

2:59 am

herinfernallady

no aus rolin, melbourne

2:59 am

Haz1558

I agree!

2:59 am

chj

is the welsh springer different from the english springer

2:59 am

rolin

oh ..ok..cos you asked about ferrets...and there just a report about fashion for ferrets on tv

2:59 am

Haz1558

Remember I asked what rain was yesterday? Well, it arrived overnight. Now I remember!

3:00 am

Flask1

Well Haz....you're one lucky lady!!

3:00 am

rolin

and wasnt it fab hazel..i sat with my head stuck out of the landing window...watching and listening

3:01 am

herinfernallady

o.k. rolin they are banned in queensland, i asked because someone here has ferrets and there was a cute photo of them

3:01 am

Haz1558

Yes, the English springer comes in black and white, and liver and white colours. The Welsh is a rusty colour (like an Irish setter) and white, slightly smaller with shorter ears.

3:01 am

herinfernallady

rolin in japan you don't see naked dogs that often, dogs where clothes, i cant see a ferret putting up with that

3:01 am

rolin

theyre banned in qld????... ya gotta be joking...on what basis...they have to have something that will take on the cane toads..lol

3:02 am

Haz1558

rolin - I wakened to the sound of rain - it does now feel a little fresher, but still humid.

3:03 am

rolin

well i can hear my little garden slurping still..its just so depressing watching plants die

3:03 am

herinfernallady

rolin darft logic is they will run free if they get lose and cause bedlum, stupid thing is ferrets aren't found of the heat

3:04 am

Haz1558

We haven't any drought measures or anything in force so the water sprinklers have been well used here.

3:04 am

FMitch

It great how quickly the grass starts to bounce back after a bout of rain

3:05 am

Haz1558

I had visitors last week from America who had visited London. They were amazed at how little grass there was in the parks.

3:05 am

rolin

oh youre lucky haz..

3:05 am

rolin

its funny mitch....the way my partner put that idea...he didt seem so pleased..lol

Can You see me down here?
Can you feel my pain?
Can you see me tears
As i cry out your name
Lord, I feel so lost
I want to serve you
but I'm afraid of the cost
Will I stay true?

Oh, God I hurt!
Do you know how I feel?
I'm so uncertain
Is your love for real?

I am in endless agony
Like glass wedged in my heart
God, help me
I'm falling apart

10:22 am

jmsmo93

I want to cry But I can't
Nothing in my world is clear
I'm so tired of pretending
Images grow wavey through my tears
I beat my fists into the walls
Slowly I give up the fight
I want to scream through the sobs
I need your grace tonight

Crying to the God I want to know
I'm giving You my load
I pass to You my scars
Your blood has overflowed

Sitting
Dying in the heat
The heat from within
The burning flame

Shivering
Shaking from the cold
Releasing the toxins
Setting it right once more

Shaking
Hairs upended
Purifying the soul
To remove all the troubles

Weak
Unable to move at all
Pushing to the limit
Too much for one soul to handle

Scratching
Tearing out the skin
An itch from the inside out
Wanting to get to it; impossible to succeed

Falling
Hitting the ground
Violent thud
A broken body

Crying
Silent anguish
Just one day at a time
To break down the barriers of agony

Panting
Breath isn't coming easily
The feel of a thousand bricks
Piled on top of a fragile frame

Dying
No way to win this war
No way to overcome
Detox incomplete.

Â© By Maren B. Fischer

As a man puts to his lips that dank, sordid liquid, what is he thinking of?
Does he realize that he's acting just as stupidly when he first puts it to his lips
as he does when his brain is finally drowned in it?
Does he recognize the harsh realities brought on' he must-
But it seems he doesn't care in the least.
When cramped balding cubicle workers keep their printers company
as they shoot out file after file of statistics,
And smiling reporters, perfectly manicured, sit properly in their seats
and sing to the world how many teens were killed that night,
And when radio show hosts that giggle at trivia games
nonchalantly recite that Jack Daniels murdered a father,
how could it not be known?
The men must not care, could not possibly care.
Lives are torn, thrown bare and emaciated,
And minds are lacerated, while the rain simply meets the sidewalk for its nightly date,
And soon small rivers are humming softly on their way along the streets,
Nicely parting for the occasional empty beer bottle dying alone on the pavement.
Wives will throw themselves out windows, husbands, uncles, brothers
Dressing in black.
They don't say, they never say, 'I don't want to see him in that box- I don't want to see him like that. I want to remember him how he was before.'
Because he was already like that. His brain never truly functioned, did it?
After he started to shove pint after pint down his throat,
When he smiled, his teeth were never really clean, were they?
His eyes were never truly focused.
He was already dead.
The stories have become hackneyed. The tears clich'd.
No words escape howling mouths; burning, blazing vocal chords that scream in despondency.
As souls hang dilapidated over spiked fences, and the sky pounds out rhythmic words:
'The grass will grow again. The guilt will fade. The questions might not be answered, but you'll move on.'
But the heart can only take so much.
Hands shake and pulses speed as eyes scan surroundings.
Depressants make the minds of others so much more alive.
The poison that turns adults into five year olds.
But those adults were always children, never giving themselves the chance to grow up.
And dying before they had reason to try.

jmsmo93

Goodbye my love
We tried
In the end we can say
That instead of tears
We smiled wonderful memories
Upon what once was
But we each know the truth that life holds
And the realities that unfold
So if love is a dying flame
At least we can say
That were warm
Until the end.

Sometimes I sit alone in my room
Thinking about what I want to tell the world
But my message loses it's meaning
When i take a look at the messenger
Sometimes I sit alone in my room
Praying to God about things I need
But while my right brain talks to God
My left brain is deep in sleep

Sometimes I sit alone in my room
Reading the book of God's Holy promise
But as my eyes scan familiar stories
My heart has forgotten their meaning

Sometimes I sit alone in my room
Thinking about what I want to tell the world
But my message loses it's meaning
When i take a look at the messenger
Sometimes I sit alone in my room
Praying to God about things I need
But while my right brain talks to God
My left brain is deep in sleep

Sometimes I sit alone in my room
Reading the book of God's Holy promise
But as my eyes scan familiar stories
My heart has forgotten their meaning

Sometimes I sit alone in my room
Thinking about what I want to tell the world
But my message loses it's meaning
When i take a look at the messenger

My left brain is deep in sleep

TheFiz

sounds like you had too much fun on holiday, jac!

11:22 am

shorty

what happened Jac?

11:23 am

Arturion

awww... no fireworks now? I just finished my 14-day period :(

11:23 am

Arturion

but I'm done

11:23 am

Jacula

Ear infection was caused by pilot who took us to Crete making a very steep and speedy descent on landing. The mossie bite is one of many I got on my legs (as did Paul and also his Mum). They left his Dad alone. Maybe he doesn't taste so nice! The bruise was sustained on a jeep safari into the Dikti Mountains.

11:23 am

TheFiz

~*~*~*~*~*~*FIREWORKS*~*~*~*~**~*~ for arturion. i strongly suggest going pro....

11:24 am

Flask1

methinks I'll stay at home....lol

11:24 am

lola100

jacs, i hate those cowboy pilots : /

11:24 am

Flask1

Well done ART!!

11:24 am

shorty

oh wow Jac

11:24 am

lola100

...and what does dad drink? I have a theory that's why the mossies leave some of us alone : )

11:24 am

Arturion

heh... thanks. I might just go pro, I'm also thinking of going pro for iron sudoku so I can play the archives

11:25 am

Jacula

...and then there's Paul. He trod on a Scorpion Fish (like a Weaver Fish; spiny) on the last day and had to go to hospital over that when we got home. Yesterday, he cut his hand on a glass in the sink and had to go to hospital again for stitches. So, his left foot and his right hand are bandaged up now.:( What a paor we are!

11:25 am

shorty

what is a mossie?

11:25 am

Arturion

mosquito, I think

11:25 am

TheFiz

lola - if you figure out the answer, will you please let me know? i get swarmed from head to toe...

11:26 am

shorty

oh

11:26 am

lola100

fiz....if i ever stop mixing my drinks i might! lol....and you'll be the first to know : D

I've missed you!! How are you?? I'm ok.

11:27 am

lola100

i'm good thanks! missed you too! : ' )

11:27 am

Jacula

Lola - His Dad was drinking Mythos, the local beer, and Raki, the local firewater. As was Paul. I've been told that eating Marmite puts mossies off. It's the Vitamin B1. You can just take the tablets though.

11:28 am

lola100

no jacs...it's the marmite. mossies are actually VERY intelligent.

11:28 am

Jacula

Lola - LOL!

11:28 am

lola100

: D

11:29 am

lola100

....and isn't there vit B in beer?

11:29 am

TheFiz

rather have itchy bites than eat marmite :(

11:29 am

Jacula

Mosquito advice (straight from my GP): take vitamin B1 tablets for a fornight before going on holiday and during your holiday. Puts the little blighters off.

11:29 am

lola100

me too fizz : / blech!

11:29 am

Jacula

*fortnight

11:30 am

Jacula

I love Marmite. Paul hates Marmite.

11:30 am

Lupe613

it's nice to finally see names I recognize (jacula, shorty, faerie, lola) - wow. almost feels like home again.

11:30 am

shorty

11:30 am

bubba218

skin-so-soft by Avon, works well, it is used by the marines on Paris Island, which is a buggy swamp

11:30 am

TheFiz

interesting. wonder why they don't like vitamin b? the biologist in me wants to know....

11:31 am

lola100

11:35 am

Jacula

Lola - What's your job? (If you don't mind saying.) Anj., too? Champion!

11:35 am

bubba218

bye for now

11:35 am

Jacula

Fiz - Re the mossies. I just found this for you:As a prevention for insect bites, garlic and vitamin B1 (thiamine) supplements are effective, as they give off an unfavorable scent to the insect. A vitamin B complex can be added to B1 for several weeks to prevent imbalances. Use brewerâ€™s yeast supplements for pets, or nutritional yeast for humans. Garlic is more effective against ticks. Take these supplements several days before and throughout a trip to wooded, damp areas.

Very high doses of vitamin C, taken together with calcium, can be used effectively to combat the *allergic and toxic effects of all kinds of bites, even against venomous spiders and *snakes. The calcium also seems to markedly reduce the *pain.

11:36 am

Jacula

Daily Dosages

* Vitamin C, with bioflavonoids, 4,000-10,000 mg immediately following a bite and 1,000 mg every few hours
* Vitamin B1, 50 mg twice daily
* Garlic, 2 capsules three times daily
* Vitamin B complex, 50 mg daily
* Calcium, 1,200 mg

Herbal Remedies

Herbal remedies can promote healing of the *skin, decrease inflammation, help the body cleanse residual toxins from the blood and boost the *immune system.

* Yarrow reduces the *itching and swelling, while lemon balm, plantain and ivy leaves soothe and heal. Crush or gently rub leaves on the bite.
* Aloe vera gel is excellent to soothe and heal the affected skin.
* Citronella oil is a natural insect repellent that should be rubbed on the skin and is safe for children and *pregnant women. Keep away from eyes.

11:36 am

Rainbows created my imagination
As it arched across the sky
On one end there sat you
At the other end, there sat I

Imagining I could slide across
Over the rainbow to the end
There would be my pot of gold
The sweet love of my dear friend

The rainbow is a connection
Like a bridge from me to you
It appears joined by sunlight
Then the grey skies turn to blue

Arriving after the rainstorms
It became so evident to me
Thoughts of love follow rainbows
They arched right across the sea

A colourful arching rainbow
It has no gate, it has no door
It reaches from friend to friend
It arches from shore to shore

I smiled up today at the sky
How far would my loving smile go
It slid right over to the other side
The other end of the coloured rainbow

12:14 pm

Sometimes I sit alone in my room
Thinking about what I want to tell the world
But my message loses it's meaning
When i take a look at the messenger
Sometimes I sit alone in my room
Praying to God about things I need
But while my right brain talks to God
My left brain is deep in sleep

Sometimes I sit alone in my room
Reading the book of God's Holy promise
But as my eyes scan familiar stories
My heart has forgotten their meaning

Sometimes I sit alone in my room

2:51 pm

TheFiz

faerie - it's a rhode island landmark. it's a big termite named nibbles located right off the highway - they dress it up in appropriate outfits for different holidays (rudolph nose, uncle sam hat, etc).

2:52 pm

faeriekae

Fiz that is sooooo cute. I'd love to see it in person

2:52 pm

ypsigirl

SOunds trippy!

2:52 pm

faeriekae

well I gotta get off of here and get some work done. Happy Babbling everyone!!!!! Peaceout

2:53 pm

TheFiz

well if you're ever on rt. 95 in RI you can't miss it. it's such an institution that a highway relocation project has been designed so as not to disturb it

2:53 pm

TheFiz

2:54 pm

2:55 pm

Krista

Do you live near Quahog, Fiz?? (ha)

2:55 pm

TheFiz

lance bass of n'sync has come out of the closet - like we didn't all have our suspicions from the get go....

2:55 pm

TheFiz

2:56 pm

Krista

Me too! Saw your post about PeeWee..never saw it on CNetwork..when is it on?

2:57 pm

ypsigirl

yeah finished! fireworks! woo hoo!

2:57 pm

TheFiz

2:57 pm

Krista

Lance? My hag-dar was off on that one. Oh, we watch Alton Brown at 11 - will definitely tune in for PeeWee, ty.

2:58 pm

pbr

TheFiz -- you are absolutely correct about the termite. I travel to RI during November and March. Of course, I must see what it looks like on any given day. It is not the most attractive landmark, but it is visible!!

2:58 pm

ypsigirl

we love Alton Brown too!

2:58 pm

TheFiz

anyway - my question - do you think that lance will be able to explain to his friend JC Chasez why some girls dance with women now?

2:58 pm

Krista

He's so funny - great edu-tainment, ypsi!

2:59 pm

TheFiz

lol pbr! it's now featured in a PSA about speeding through the S-curves

2:59 pm

ypsigirl

yeah I saw the people magazine with Lance's picture and in huge yellow letters across his chest it reads I'M GAY and I was like , so what

3:00 pm

Krista

You mean papa Chris never talked to JC about the birds n bees?

3:00 pm

lbdawger

TheFiz

Yay lbd! best return on investment EVER...

3:01 pm

Wasn't JC Chasez linked with Eva Longoria a while back

3:01 pm

Krista

true confessions: saw N'Sync live, but only to take my niece (they are not of my generation anyway)..I was a Duranie

3:02 pm

TheFiz

i avoided the boy-band craze, but my partner was nuts for nkotb.

3:02 pm

TheFiz

she used to make her dad drive her to boston to stalk joey.

3:02 pm

ypsigirl

my sister loved nkotb

3:02 pm

ypsigirl

lol

3:03 pm

TheFiz

to this day, her password for everything is joey mcintyre's birthday. so if you figure out who i am in real life you'll be able to hack into my (oh so exciting) voice mail.

3:03 pm

Krista

LOL! They were so lame. I saw Joey on something recently, can't remember what.

3:04 pm

TheFiz

that people cover was so Ellen from 10 years ago...

3:04 pm

marjoriewiener

"dimed" (as in "he was nickel and dimed") is not accepted here. why not?

4:16 pm

EasternBlue

The second chapter does NOT build on the first, but gives more background on other characters

4:16 pm

jillibus

Love your icon, stid! Have to catch up on the story - I only saw Chapter One, as you know. BTW, Hetty's having computer problems.

4:16 pm

Flask1

Uncagain

4:27 pm

bubba218

A few times, Avebury is wonderful, the "devils den" is located in a farmers field about 2 miles away. Since it is a historic site it is open for people to walk the field. Except when he has the bulls there.

4:27 pm

charliesmomuk

my stats tell me I have one x4 left and 1x5, both off the m and according to lickety, both me words but I have the pizza one

4:51 pm

stidmama

so you might be missing the me 4 that snow does when it gets warm, and then plural it for the 5

4:52 pm

stidmama

oooh -- I was wrong! (no surprise) the very first ME is weird.

4:52 pm

chj

Fran...who or what is Groove Baby?

4:52 pm

ME +Princess ** (mother of william and harry) + repeat that vowel

4:53 pm

FranMag

4:54 pm

FranMag

chj, it says groovy baby, just a image i found googling.

4:54 pm

chakramspice

hello all lovely babblers... might i have some clues for the u's? i have the 5/12 but no others :)

4:54 pm

stidmama

the ME fours are defined in order as
to combine or put together
to liquify from a solid
the weird one I clued earlier
what you look at to know what a restaurant serves
the me** kids leave behind if they cook
the illegal drug made from sudafed

4:54 pm

chj

i thought it might be a group or an album name

4:54 pm

charliesmomuk

Arrghhhhh

4:54 pm

stidmama

okay, starting the story now....

4:55 pm

stidmama

charliesmom -- are you okay?

4:55 pm

FranMag

4:55 pm

FranMag

4:55 pm

charliesmomuk

4:56 pm

stidmama

*settles skirts and grabs teacup* okay, let's go back to the twins.

4:56 pm

FranMag

chakra, here are the Us
un6/27 to remove protective head gear
un7/40 plural
un5/14 without a leader

4:56 pm

bubba218

congrats, now you have that little twinkle in your eyes

4:57 pm

stidmama

They had decided, after putting the donkey in the stable, to look again at the cart.

4:58 pm

jillibus

charliesmom - click my icon for more fireworks - groovy ones!

4:58 pm

stidmama

Carefully, they began inspecting the sides, noticing that one side had been repaired, and the other looked scarred as if it had scraped against a wall for a while.

4:59 pm

stidmama

The front of the cart held a simple bench seat, worn smooth from use, with a box underneath that held a whip and a hoof file and frog.

4:59 pm

stidmama

*oops frog cleaner!*

5:00 pm

FranMag

*whispers to jilli* what's frog cleaner?

5:00 pm

stidmama

The main compartment in the cart was fitted with holders for a canopy, and tie-down cleats.

5:00 pm

jillibus

*snuggles down with sammie* (I think it cleans the bottom of hooves)

5:01 pm

stidmama

There was a good bit of dirt in the corners, but the bottom looked as if it had seen hard use.

5:02 pm

FranMag

(thanks jilli)

5:02 pm

stidmama

*background moment. The inside of a horse or donkey's hoof is soft, and is called a "frog" -- sometimes dirt/mud or rocks get caught up in it and make it uncomfortable for the animal to walk. The frog cleaner is a hook that has a dull point -- specially for cleaning the hoof.*

5:02 pm

bubba218

Stid, sounds like I'm listening to Piers Anthony

5:02 pm

FranMag

(you were right jilli)

5:03 pm

stidmama

At one point, the cart had been painted, inside and out, and must have been quite pretty when it was new.

5:03 pm

stidmama

(thanks, bubba, to me that is quite a compliment!)

5:03 pm

jillibus

*wriggling for being right*

5:04 pm

stidmama

The twins popped inside and snagged a hard-bristle brush, a bucket of water, and a few rags.

5:04 pm

stidmama

They set to work, carefully removing the grime, first outside, then inside.

5:05 pm

stidmama

Under the bench, wedged between the floorboards, they found a small key.

5:05 pm

stidmama

In the back, a length of rope turned out to be quite strong and they rubbed off the dirt and set it on the fence while they continued working.

5:05 pm

jillibus

Alice's?

5:06 pm

stidmama

The slightly older twin found a large silver coin in one corner as he brushed it out.

5:06 pm

stidmama

The other twin found a small ring -- with an inscription in a foreign language.

5:07 pm

FranMag

(interesting comment jilli. could the story take a turn into fantasy?)

5:07 pm

stidmama

They put these finds into their pockets and continued working.

5:07 pm

jillibus

(stid can go anywhere...)

5:08 pm

stidmama

They discovered only a few loose boards that were quickly secured with nails, and soon turned their attention to the wheels.

5:08 pm

stidmama

The wheels were in abysmal shape.

5:09 pm

stidmama

No longer completely round, they were also warped. The iron that bound them had been worn thin and in places was almost gone. One or two of the spokes were missing completely, and several others were cracked beyond repair.

5:10 pm

bubba218

In Xanth, things are not always what they appear to be

5:10 pm

stidmama

They wondered that the cart had made it home from the Inn, let alone back to their village@!

5:10 pm

FranMag

(i was wondering the very same thing.)

5:11 pm

stidmama

Shaking their heads in amazement, and sharing thoughts, as twin often do, they looked under the cart simultaneously, one from the right at the rear and one from the left near the front.

5:12 pm

stidmama

I am needed in the kitchen. Can we "pause the story" -- brb

5:12 pm

FranMag

(jilli, just looked at your profile...all i can say is thank goodness it isn't animated in the log!)

5:13 pm

jillibus

I made sure of that, Fran!

5:13 pm

renfield

5:15 pm

FranMag

5:15 pm

jillibus

hi ren! Love your wacko profile!

5:16 pm

jillibus

Yes flask, but continues right under it - with comments by the kids in the audience

5:16 pm

FranMag

5:16 pm

renfield

5:21 pm

stidmama

When the young men looked under the cart, they were astonished.

5:21 pm

CobraLimes

Blue china pluralled

5:22 pm

stidmama

Not only was the wood completely intact, but it appeared to be brand new!

5:23 pm

stidmama

The iron brackets holding the axles were in perfect condition.

5:23 pm

jbp

how about the E in the lower left

5:24 pm

jillibus

think tree, jbp

5:24 pm

jbp

5:24 pm

stidmama

The axles were strong, with iron collars spaced regularly along the length.

5:24 pm

jillibus

no -- think newt babies - sry - to absorbed by stid's story

5:25 pm

jbp

thanks jilli

5:25 pm

jillibus

yw

5:26 pm

stidmama

A grease bucket hung predictably near the rear, and it also appeared to be new: no dents, no scars. Only a small bit of dust adhered to the foreward edge of the bucket.

5:27 pm

stidmama

The twins crawled under the cart and met in the middle.

5:27 pm

saphyre

hi everyone

5:27 pm

jbp

hi saph

5:27 pm

stidmama

"What is with this cart?" whispered one.

5:27 pm

FranMag

hi saphyre!

5:27 pm

jillibus

hi saph - stid's storytelling

5:28 pm

stidmama

The other opened his mouth to reply, then shrugged. Each sat silently for a moment looking at the other.

5:28 pm

stidmama

They examined the axles with their hands, as if to test the veracity of their eyes.

5:29 pm

stidmama

They ran their finger tips over the joinery and fittings, checking for flaws.

5:29 pm

stidmama

There were none.

5:29 pm

stidmama

Slowly, the backed out from under the cart and stood up.

5:30 pm

jbp

my monkey minions and I still have 6 left...

5:31 pm

stidmama

Once again, they walked around the cart, examining in detail each corner, each scar, each trace of paint, each road-weary inch.

5:32 pm

FranMag

gooo jbp! ask for clues, it's okay.

5:33 pm

jbp

i'm workin it

5:33 pm

stidmama

One twin picked up the tongue. The other took up position at the back. Slowly, they moved the cart from in front of the house to the stable.

5:33 pm

jbp

need one top s, and 2 ms

5:33 pm

jbp

5:34 pm

saphyre

to *** with love plural and an anagram of the same

5:34 pm

stidmama

Parking it in front of the doors and setting some firewood under the wheels to keep it from rolling, they moved almost in unison -- putting the rags on the fence to dry, dumping the water at the base of a small fruit tree, setting the brush and the bucket on the back steps.

5:35 pm

jbp

thanks saph...not up on my titles for men in India

5:35 pm

stidmama

The twin who had slightly darker hair reached under the cart and removed the grease bucket.

5:35 pm

jillibus

i - a little sprite with an extra eye

5:35 pm

stidmama

Walking toward the barn, he stopped in his tracks and turned toward his brother.

5:36 pm

jbp

Minveryork

5:44 pm

stidmama

The younger sister reached for the box, and her brothers pushed it toward her. Feeling with her hands, she grasped the key and pushed on one side of the box.

5:45 pm

FranMag

*ooh, a trick latch*

5:45 pm

stidmama

Min -- I am almost at the end of this chapter.... do you want to see the surprise, or do you want to come back in five minutes?

5:45 pm

Minveryork

Congratulations jbp on your fireworks! Good for you!

5:45 pm

stidmama

You could start reading in the archives and get caught up fairly quickly. I think I started an hour ago?

5:45 pm

stidmama

The key started to turn, then stopped.

5:46 pm

jillibus

(yeah -- extra sensitivities)

5:47 pm

stidmama

Biting her lip, the girl felt around near the latch, and with a satisfied smile, jiggled it.

5:47 pm

stidmama

The key turned the rest of the way.

5:47 pm

stidmama

She pushed the bucket back to the center of the table, and her three sisters put their hands to their hearts in anticipation.

5:48 pm

jillibus

*me too*

5:48 pm

stidmama

Her youngest brother was practically dancing from excitement, and the twins were humming nervously to themselves.

5:48 pm

EasternBlue

oooo...just finished babanon...jumping back in log to catch the start of the next chapter....

5:48 pm

stidmama

One twin held the bucket, the other lifted the lid of the box. They sat down, and poured the contents all over the table.

5:49 pm

stidmama

There, between the children, were small, colorful stones, bits of glittering chain, coin of all shapes and sizes.

5:49 pm

FranMag

(this is where they always cut to a commercial)

5:50 pm

saphyre

lol

5:50 pm

stidmama

The youngest girl put out her hands and felt among them.

5:50 pm

stidmama

She lifted a small carved bird out of the pile and held it to her ear. Experimentally, she put it to her lips.

5:50 pm

Babbler

cool! : )

5:51 pm

Buttonman

can anyone help me with the pr6 please?

5:52 pm

stidmama

From the bird came the most lovely, clear tone they had ever heard. In that tone was the warmth of their mother's love, the strength of their grandfather's hands and the joy of a child's first butterfly.

5:52 pm

saphyre

plural of the 5/24 before it

5:52 pm

jillibus

plural pr5/14

5:52 pm

FranMag

button, plural of the pr5/14 which is a piece of glass that breaks light into a rainbow

5:53 pm

stidmama

Quietly, then with more excitement, they passed the bird around. For each, the bird gave a different tone -- with its own story to tell.

5:53 pm

Buttonman

I don't have the pr 5/14!

5:53 pm

jillibus

fran just gave it to you

5:54 pm

stidmama

The rest of the cache remained untouched and forgotten.

5:54 pm

Buttonman

And the evening drew slowly in, casting a warm light around the kitchen and caressing the family inside.

5:54 pm

FranMag

stidmama

*and that is the end of the chapter.*

5:55 pm

Anniebrook,I also noticed the other day I was not on the list in the archives. I wonder if this is something Dr. God can fix for us.I hope it does not happen alot.

6:32 pm

ExWren

I don't think there is enough room to print all of the names who complete the grid in the archives, I've never seen my name there, as long as I make the rankings.

6:35 pm

Minveryork

I think that if you're not in the archives,then you're not in the rankings for that day either. Who knows!

6:40 pm

Minveryork

So is everybody finished already!The log seems to be slow! I think I have seen snails move slower than the log!

6:41 pm

Jera

Hey all! Long time no Babble!

6:42 pm

Minveryork

Hello Jera! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid!

Jera

Okay... di5/14... & I assume the 6 is a plural?

6:48 pm

Minveryork

di 5/14-10 cents with a consonant in the middle Jera

6:48 pm

Minveryork

Di 6/24 is the plural of di 5/14 Jera.

6:50 pm

Minveryork

Just remember to use the d at top of the grid, Jera.

6:51 pm

Jera

Having trouble with the middle consonant... do you have a definition?

6:52 pm

Jera

Got it, thanks!

6:52 pm

Jera

I was going the wrong way

6:52 pm

7:17 pm

stidmama

7:21 pm

featherbee

7:32 pm

Minveryork

Button, do you need anymore clues?Did you get your un words?I made a mistake when I clued them for you

7:34 pm

Minveryork

lbdawger, we have to wait 4 1/2 more hrs! Oh what to do?!I'm usually racing to finish before the flip!Now it can't come soon enough! I guess I will play Scrabble

7:35 pm

lbdawger

well, i was kinda hoping some late comers would come in

7:35 pm

Minveryork

Since nobody seems to need clues I am out for now. I will be back for the flip later on!Happy babbling to all!

7:36 pm

SainteEph

I'm a latecomer! Help!

7:36 pm

lbdawger

7:37 pm

SainteEph

How 'bout the S on the top row? I have the gentlemen, but need the next.

7:37 pm

Minveryork

Hi SainteEph!How are you doing? Welcome to the grid

7:37 pm

Minveryork

SainteEph it's an anagram of word you already have.

7:38 pm

SainteEph

Oh, that is a *ridiculous* word. Thanks!

7:39 pm

Minveryork

You are welcome SainteEph! What else do you need?

7:39 pm

SainteEph

fethent

7:40 pm

lmustudent

Good evening all! I've got 2 words left, the un6 and 7... are they related to other words in the grid?

7:40 pm

Minveryork

Sorry, that ridiculous word isn't in the grid SainteEph

7:41 pm

SainteEph

Drat. Sorry. Need some of the Fs: I have women, spilling beans, and what looks like an abbreviation for leg irons.

7:41 pm

Minveryork

un 6/27 is un + to steer a boat/ship.Un 7/40 is plural

7:41 pm

lmustudent

I'm so silly - I had the 6, didn't even THINK to do the plural, duh! THANKS Mineryork!

7:42 pm

lmustudent

Kaboooooom! Yeah!

7:42 pm

Minveryork

Hi lmstudent!How are you doing? I'm here to help out!

7:42 pm

Minveryork

7:43 pm

Minveryork

fe 4/8 is de plus double hump letter plus snake letter.

7:43 pm

lmustudent

THanks Min...you got me the last two... anyone else need clues?

7:43 pm

featherbee

if anyone sees stid, tell her i read chapter one to my friend, who loved it! my voice got tired, so we'll read chapter two later. i did skim through it and saw my nephew was very nice to share the popcorn and blankets!

7:44 pm

SainteEph

Thanks, Min. I think that's one of the Fs I have--women, right?

7:44 pm

featherbee

(i had to read to her, as she was far enough away from the screen to make it difficult)

7:44 pm

Minveryork

fe 4/7 is fe plus double snake letter. Fe 4/7 is fe plus cross letter + snake letter,SainteEph. Does that help

7:44 pm

featherbee

off to play mancala, later!

7:45 pm

Krista

my kids are playing that right now..weird

7:45 pm

SainteEph

I think those are all the ones I have, but the stats say I have 4 more to go off that F tile.

7:45 pm

Minveryork

Goodbye featherbee! I'll see you tomorrow in the log!

7:45 pm

lbdawger

7:46 pm

SainteEph

Oh, duh. Only one more F.

7:46 pm

Minveryork

Congratulations lmstudent on your fireworks!Hooray

7:47 pm

lbdawger

wtg imstudent

7:47 pm

Minveryork

I clued all the fe words for you.The fl4/8 is if you ran away from the cops you fl**, Sainte.Last F in the grid

7:48 pm

SainteEph

Bah, finally got the last F, and it was despicably obvious. Thanks for the help, though, Minver!

7:48 pm

SainteEph

Now on to the H words, which are probably just as obvious.

7:48 pm

Minveryork

Congratulations SainteEph on your fireworks!Hooray

7:48 pm

Minveryork

Oops! I jumped the gun! I thougnt you were finished!

7:49 pm

Congratulations, ronnilee! That's some fast solving!

7:51 pm

lbdawger

wow ronnielee! record speed!

7:51 pm

Minveryork

I like these grids as well!But the only disadvantage is you finish early & then have to wait forever for flip!

7:52 pm

lbdawger

it's not like being addicted or anything huh Min?

7:52 pm

ronnielee

record speed for me when it usually takes me all day & up til the final 1 to 2 hours before the flip to finish

7:53 pm

lbdawger

that's me with any of the grids over 150! that's usually the ones with the freakin' impossible words

7:53 pm

Minveryork

I'm so addicted!I go through withdrawal as I wait for the flip! But I like having a chance to practice cluing.

7:53 pm

ronnielee

8:04 pm

Krista

8:04 pm

lbdawger

you'd still have allergies, believe me! mine got worse while down there

8:06 pm

lbdawger

8:06 pm

Nef

Hi all. How are you all doing?

8:07 pm

Nef

8:08 pm

Nef

It's pretty country, but I prefer the rolling plains and lake country here in MN

8:08 pm

Krista

yes, prob not a good idea for us, then, lb

8:09 pm

Krista

kids having a sleepover..need to go referee all the "fun." I have suuccchh a headaaaache

8:14 pm

Nef

8:14 pm

lbdawger

Hi Nef, I live in the Flathead valley

8:14 pm

atropos

nah i am just staring blankly at the grid...

8:14 pm

lbdawger

look from the middle out. starting in a corner doesn't do a thing for finding words in the grid

8:15 pm

Nef

that's beautiful country, Lb. I've stayed in Kalispell a couple of times

8:15 pm

lbdawger

yes it is beautiful up here, but it's growing way too fast!

8:16 pm

Krista

kids calmed down..sure it's only temporary..

8:16 pm

Nef

LOL! I saw the story online about the farmers plotting out their land on the edge of Kalispell and the city commissoners concerns

8:17 pm

lbdawger

sleepovers...you are a brave woman krista!

8:18 pm

lbdawger

a lot of the farmers are selling off their land. like the rest of the country farming isn't making it. even the cherry orchards are hurting this year and we have a bumper crop!

8:18 pm

Krista

i put it off all summer, believe me! It wouldn't be so bad, but my 5 year old son is trying to join in with the 10 year old girls who dont want him around!

8:18 pm

EasternBlue

phew...glad I could back online...my computer (or my connection) wigged out me....bleah!!!

8:18 pm

Nef

How many kids for tonight Krista? My dtr once invited 25 "close and personal" girlfriends over when she was in 5th grade

8:19 pm

Krista

poor little dude...just two girls, but it sounds like 25! Oh nef, now YOU are the brave one!

8:19 pm

lbdawger

and you survived Nef?!?! glad you could make it back Eastern

8:20 pm

Krista

hey Eastern Blue

8:20 pm

EasternBlue

phew!! glad I can see the grid again...my computer was going all wiggy on me!!

8:20 pm

lbdawger

i'm available for clues if anyone needs them

8:21 pm

stidmama

okay, friend off phone, kicked Tom off my computer... :-) looks like I am not needed for cluing, though, so will go finish transcribing today's chapter.

8:21 pm

Krista

don't mess with the Babble game...you can mess with anything else, but NOT the Babbling

8:22 pm

Nef

I think thatI ruined some of the girls plans after the parents fell asleep that night. Little did some of them know that I was a night nurse at the time and I could stay up longer than they could! :D

8:22 pm

EasternBlue

stidmama - thanks for a wonderful chapter again...I think you should publish it once it's finished!! : )

8:22 pm

Krista

Hello Stid, I have been meaning to go find the beginning of the story...

8:22 pm

Krista

That's funny, Nef!

8:22 pm

lbdawger

Nef! lol how much trouble could 5th graders get into?

8:22 pm

sillylily

can anyone help with the two te words?

8:23 pm

EasternBlue

Krista - it's out on the Bab Anon. site under General - Other Interests...Stidmama's story (I think)

8:23 pm

Krista

I remember when i was in 5th grade...lots. ;)

8:23 pm

Krista

oh, ok, cook

8:23 pm

Krista

i mean cool!! LOL!

8:23 pm

lbdawger

what a thermometer reads and plural

8:23 pm

Krista

thinkng about food again, I guess

8:24 pm

lbdawger

well, kinda plural, think latin

8:24 pm

Nef

Some of the girls in that crowd could have gotten into a lot of trouble; my daughter only invited them because they were the *popular* crowd and she wanted to be part of them!

8:24 pm

EasternBlue

I'm stuffed...while the connection was down, I made quesadillas for dinner....

8:24 pm

sillylily

thanks!

8:24 pm

Krista

yummy!

8:25 pm

Nef

(that group was a bunch of slimey 2-faced little devils, I was glad that she decided she didn't like them after all)

8:25 pm

lbdawger

geez it's been ages since i was in 5th grade...how old?

8:25 pm

renfield

yum yum eb!!

8:25 pm

8:26 pm

lbdawger

oooh quesadillas! yummm!

8:26 pm

EasternBlue

Nef - she sounds like a smart girl 8 )

8:26 pm

Krista

that's one of the advantages of homeschooling, not that some of them aren't slimy and two-faced, too, tho

8:26 pm

Krista

gracias!

8:26 pm

Nef

5th grade = 10, 11 years old

8:27 pm

8:29 pm

renfield

i have your icon on a t shirt mab!

8:29 pm

Krista

my friend's daughter has an eating disorder now, thanks in large part to all the teasing for being 'fat', which she was not.

8:29 pm

lbdawger

that' so true, puberty is such a drag. hormones raging and so the emotions are on overdrive

8:29 pm

mab

i'd love to see nut's version of psychodelia (sp).

8:30 pm

renfield

where is that nut?

8:30 pm

lbdawger

haven't seen nut today

8:31 pm

mab

nuuuuuuuu-uuuuut! nuuuuuuu-uuuuut?

8:31 pm

Nef

Krista and Lb; I really think it starts at an earlier age these days; the kids keep thinking that they *have* to grow up so fast!

8:31 pm

lbdawger

it doesn't help that the media pushes that idea too

8:31 pm

Nef

I agree

8:31 pm

Krista

and physical puberty is happening earlier, for sure

8:32 pm

mamabear

Good day all!!!!

8:32 pm

EasternBlue

I wouldn't want to go back to that age...I think kids feel so much pressure to 'grow up'

8:32 pm

i heard on the news that kids aren't being allowed to be kids. parents and teachers are really pushing them to over achieve.

8:33 pm

Nef

If I'm ever going to finish this grid; I better shut up and start guessing

8:34 pm

lbdawger

i believe in encouraging kids to read over the summer, but to assign bookreports and math homework?! geez, let the kids be outside and play

8:34 pm

i have like 31 left to find

mamabear

10:30 pm

GreyWoulf

I finally got my tax refund -- I had forgotten that I told them to direct deposit it to my checking account

10:30 pm

Smeltzdog

Buttonman... I have a cuzzi ready. What would you like?

10:30 pm

mamabear

Drinks on GW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

10:30 pm

Smeltzdog

cuzzi?...I meant sippy.

10:30 pm

FranMag

money you forgot about, that's the best kind!

10:30 pm

Jacula

I have a daughter and a son (the son being the elder). I also have a sort of step-daughter. I truly believe that girls are messier than boys.

10:30 pm

Smeltzdog

Water?

10:31 pm

Smeltzdog

Tea?

10:31 pm

Smeltzdog

Juice?

10:31 pm

GreyWoulf

I had some issues due to my daughter having a hyphenated last name so I ended up filing late and they deposited it before I have received my notification yet

10:31 pm

Smeltzdog

Kool Aid?

10:31 pm

Nef

Blue Koolaid, Smeltz

10:31 pm

Smeltzdog

Smeltzdog

10:32 pm

mamabear

10:32 pm

Smeltzdog

What can I get you Buttman?

10:32 pm

Nef

the chat log here is always so positive and helpful; I think that is one of the reasons I hang around for a while after I finish a grid

10:32 pm

Jacula

Sangria? How about Raki (Greek home-brewed fire water/drain cleaner, depending on your tastebuds)?

10:32 pm

Smeltzdog

Sorry again...I meant Buttonman.

10:32 pm

Cathyar

rocketman mama

10:34 pm

Jacula

10:34 pm

Jacula

Cathyar - you know full well you misheard that. LOL though!

10:35 pm

mamabear

Any merlot on the shelf, Smeltzie?

10:35 pm

Jacula

Jacq sings her own misheard lyric... 'Muck of Kintyre, mince rolling in from the sea....'

10:35 pm

Smeltzdog

Jac - you caused an actual burst of laughter. Well done!

10:35 pm

helenkeller

10:35 pm

Smeltzdog

10:36 pm

Cathyar

FranMag

10:36 pm

GreyWoulf

Button, button, who

10:36 pm

mamabear

just wave Smeltzie - it's safer

10:36 pm

GreyWoulf

oops

10:36 pm

Jacula

Who wanted Merlot? There's some in the wine rack, I think. Not a fan of red myself.

10:36 pm

GreyWoulf

who's got the button?

10:36 pm

Smeltzdog

Cath ... see ya!

10:37 pm

GreyWoulf

Fare well, Cath!!

10:37 pm

mamabear

man + sensible = oxymoron (present company excluded)

10:37 pm

FranMag

i know, it's one a website of misheard lyrics i came across once.

10:38 pm

helenkeller

no nef - i seems i just need to put esses on words - i'm such an idiot!

10:38 pm

libarebel

oh, good idea for a website!

10:38 pm

Jacula

Mamabear's singing an old Ian Dury & The Blockheads hit, I think...?

10:38 pm

FranMag

that one too, people submitted so many misheard lyrics they had to stop accepting them.

10:38 pm

Minveryork

Goodbye Buttonman! I'll see you tomorrow in the log!

10:39 pm

mamabear

10:39 pm

helenkeller

10:40 pm

Minveryork

So Grey, what is button button who's got the button?

10:40 pm

FranMag

night nef!

10:40 pm

Jacula

FranMag - a good friend of mine has a lot of stuff on that website. A real life friend, I mean. We also write song parodies both separately and together. But, when we're together and there's music around, we sure need a notebook!

10:40 pm

mamabear

Nite EB and Nef!!!

10:40 pm

nrkii

10:41 pm

helenkeller

10:41 pm

Jacula

Night EB, Nef, Helen. Hi nrkii!

10:42 pm

Minveryork

Goodbye EasternBlue!I'll see you tomorrow in the log!

10:42 pm

FranMag

that's great jac! i had a friend that i used to sing with also, she got me to sing in front of an audience for the first time also.

10:42 pm

nrkii

I'm just starting the grid... is it a GOOD 56 words, or a BAD 56 words?

10:42 pm

Minveryork

Goodbye NEf! I will see you tomorrow in the chat log!

10:42 pm

mamabear

half and half, nrkii

10:42 pm

FranMag

nrk, you should blow through them, only a couple weirdos.

10:42 pm

Smeltzdog

Goodnight EB and nef

10:43 pm

Jacula

FranMag - we write in public and sing in private. LOL. It's probably best that way.

10:43 pm

GreyWoulf

it is hard to say, nrkii -- I think it is fairly tricksy today, but I am distracted by the log as well

10:43 pm

FranMag

jac, you threatened to send me file of you singing, i thought you were serious!!

10:43 pm

Jacula

No, actually, we have to sing to make sure the phrasing and timing is right. Mind you, after all these years, we don't often get it wrong on spec.

10:43 pm

Minveryork

Hello nrkii! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid!

10:44 pm

Jacula

FranMag - I may yet do that. LOL.

10:44 pm

nrkii

good, thanks min

10:44 pm

FranMag

i used to love listening to song parodies on Dr. Demento. i wonder if he's still on the radio?

10:45 pm

nrkii

glad the grids yesterday and today were small -- been busy catching up with blog so not getting to them till late

10:45 pm

FranMag

nrk, i see you're back in the swing with quote-puzzler though! 4 stars today maybe?

10:46 pm

Jacula

Last thinh we wer at was an ABBA tribute band on a 70s night.... The notebook nearly ran out of pages.. what, with the wonderfully bendable lyrics plus kids all learning the Crazy Frog dance... we wer in parodyists' heaven.

10:46 pm

nrkii

good day on there today fran! also I see a lot more babblers have tested the waters there

10:46 pm

Smeltzdog

It looks easy.

10:46 pm

GreyWoulf

btw, nrkii -- thanks for bringing quote puzzler to our attention -- I have been enjoying it a lot

10:46 pm

FranMag

there's got to be at least 20 babblers there now!

10:46 pm

nrkii

woulf, are you there as yourself, or did you change your name?

10:47 pm

FranMag

you do well too wolfie! you should subscribe.

10:47 pm

nrkii

fran, and I notice that the top scorers are more often babblers than not!

10:48 pm

FranMag

i noticed that too nrk, makes sense with all the weird words we're exposed to! :-)

10:48 pm

GreyWoulf

I was able to be there as myself, nrkii -- though I don't always get that lucky -- apparently there is at least one other person on the net who uses my alternate spelling of wolf :)

10:48 pm

FranMag

angb has started babbling now, she was on last night.

10:48 pm

Jacula

Re quotepuzzler. I've been in through your link, FranMag, and it won't accept either of my uk e-mail addresses as 'properly formatted' e-mail addresses. But, whe I tried my MSn address again, with your link, it told me my address and user name were already in the system. Nothing's come through yet, though!

10:48 pm

nrkii

oh, so we're having crossover fran?

10:49 pm

GreyWoulf

I am seriously considering it, Fran -- with my cash influx I just may

10:49 pm

FranMag

jacula, i would email douglas, his address is on the contact page.

10:49 pm

FranMag

yes nrk, she (he?) specifically said you mentioned babble

10:50 pm

GreyWoulf

di5?

10:50 pm

Jacula

FranMag - Douglas is the site boss?

10:50 pm

FranMag

yes jac.

10:50 pm

Jacula

I will do that later, if so

10:50 pm

Douglas

???

10:50 pm

mamabear

what is quotepuzzler? (see,GW - I told you I would forget!)

10:50 pm

FranMag

wolf, add an S in the middle of the coin

10:50 pm

Minveryork

di 5/14-10 cents plus a consonant in the middle Grey.

10:50 pm

FranMag

not our douglas, another one!

10:51 pm

GreyWoulf

thanks

10:51 pm

nrkii

different douglas than our douglas here though

10:51 pm

FranMag

mamabear, it's a puzzle site that nrk introduced us to.

10:51 pm

Jacula

Wolfie - di 5 sound like a teenager's version os 'ignore me!' without the last 'S'.

10:51 pm

FranMag

www.quote-puzzler.com

10:51 pm

mamabear

will go check it out.....

10:51 pm

renfield

quote puzzler is funnnnn

10:52 pm

Smeltzdog

Are any of you paid members of quotepuzzler?

10:52 pm

Jacula

It's true meaning is a 10th part, or a tithe. Which I could not have clued had it occurred in yesterday's puzzle, since tithe was A Word. LOL.

10:52 pm

babblinanm

hello...3 to go and quite stuck! Please help with the first me!

10:53 pm

mamabear

which game in there do you play? there are so many

10:53 pm

FranMag

i am smeltz, so is nrk

10:53 pm

FranMag

mama, all of them

10:53 pm

nrkii

mamabear, I play all 7 that are behind the "quote puzzler" link -- they take only a couple minutes each

10:53 pm

mamabear

ok - brb

10:54 pm

Smeltzdog

If you get me your referal code, I can get you two free months.

10:54 pm

Minveryork

Hello babblinanm! How are you? Welcome to the grid!

10:54 pm

GreyWoulf

Have any of you started on the treasure hunt site?

10:54 pm

Jacula

me5/14 is the plural of your middle finger.m Think of a short word for an ocean, the Me* and than add to personal pronoun vowels.

10:54 pm

FranMag

here's mine smeltz: ECX8X1

10:54 pm

babblinanm

Thank you Minver!

10:55 pm

Minveryork

me 5/14 is me plus consonant plus two of third vowel.

10:55 pm

FranMag

woulf, i started, but there were too many words! lol

10:55 pm

nrkii

mine is MU0F42

10:55 pm

GreyWoulf

btw, Sorry I didn't have anyones code to enter when I signed up or I surely would have

10:55 pm

nrkii

gw, I tried the treasure hunt, and it nearly killed me

10:55 pm

Smeltzdog

There you go Fran

10:55 pm

nrkii

I got about 3/4 of the answers right, but could not get the rest

10:55 pm

stidmama

sorry I disappeared, was finishing the next

10:55 pm

stidmama

{{{NRKII}}} yippee!

10:56 pm

FranMag

don't worry about it woulf, it's just nice to have more people there.

10:56 pm

stidmama

was finishing the next entry in my trip blog...

10:56 pm

nrkii

{stidmama!} :)

10:56 pm

FranMag

thanks smeltz!

10:56 pm

Jacula

I just wish it would allow me to sign up! I think it is prejudiced against UK e-mail addresses.

10:56 pm

GreyWoulf

I took a brief look at the treasure hunt -- it looks interesting but I don't have the mental capacity these days to give it the attention it deserves

10:56 pm

nrkii

stid, me too! I have day 1 and day 2 done... 3 days to go... plus I posted a poem today, first time posting my own poetry

10:57 pm

stidmama

except that the more people on quote-puzzler the fewer my chances of winning the games!

10:57 pm

FranMag

i think if you email douglas he can fix that jac.

10:57 pm

FranMag

same here woulf!

10:57 pm

nrkii

Jacula, I'm sure Douglas will help you

10:57 pm

nrkii

stid, yeah, I wish I had thought of that before I told you all about it, LOL!!!

10:57 pm

Jacula

And I'm still peed off with webBoggle. They MUST use cheat programmes on there. It is not physically possible to type that fast. And I'm a fast typist.

10:58 pm

Minveryork

Guess what? After all this time,I just discovered how to look at people's profiles! I accidently clicked on a person & a profile came up. I just went through and read everyone's profile in the chat log.They're funny!

10:58 pm

Uncagain

wowser, nothing for you real vets, but i am up to 100,000

10:58 pm

Jacula

Oh drat! I guess that means you know how old I am now, Min?

10:58 pm

Jacula

LOL

10:58 pm

GreyWoulf

you learn something new everyday, Min :D

10:58 pm

FranMag

but...since the stars go to top 10%, the more people that play the easier it is to get stars for 2nd, 3rd or 4th place finishes.

10:58 pm

stidmama

oooh! Tom just loaded a Star Trek spoof (he won't tell me what it is) so I am going to be completely distracted... see you-all tomorrow!

10:58 pm

nrkii

Min, yes all sorts of cool things in profiles...

10:59 pm

mamabear

it looks confusing

10:59 pm

nrkii

see you stid!

10:59 pm

FranMag

okay stid! see you tomorrow.

10:59 pm

GreyWoulf

take care stid!!

10:59 pm

Minveryork

Goodbye stidmama!I will see you tomorrow in the log!

10:59 pm

riemann

Hi StidMama. Ok, you talked me onto this site.

10:59 pm

FranMag

mama, i found that reading the instructions clears things up a lot! :-)

11:00 pm

Minveryork

Now I can check to see who is female and how is male

11:00 pm

babblinanm

Ok...whew! Thanks Jac and Minver for the clues!

11:00 pm

nrkii

mama, definitely read the directions on each one... very easy to assume and end up with low scores the first few times

11:00 pm

babblinanm

Two to go!! I've heard talk of fireworks...hope to see em!!

11:01 pm

Jacula

FranMag - I'll mail Douglas later then.

11:01 pm

GreyWoulf

and on an off day it is even easier to get a low score from silly errors, LOL

11:02 pm

Jacula

Which 2, babblinanm?

11:02 pm

nrkii

woulf, yes, like clicking on the check answer on the quote instead of moving the rest of the letters up

11:03 pm

Jacula

Wolfie -sure is! I was 15 on the rankings when I went away on hol for a fortnight. I was still there when I came home. I'm 17 at last look though!

11:03 pm

babblinanm

the last he and the first id are the final two Jac

11:03 pm

GreyWoulf

haven't done that yet, nrkii -- but came close the other day

11:03 pm

FranMag

my mouse was dirty last night and i couldn't do cross phrase quickly enough!

11:04 pm

FranMag

babblin, id is it** of clothing, change first consonant

11:04 pm

Jacula

babbleinam - I finished the grid hours ago. I was clueing you in. But thank you anyway.

11:04 pm

GreyWoulf

9 to go, but time to tuck in a sleepy wife -- back in a few to finish

11:05 pm

FranMag

he4/5 is the last he, rhymes with what you pay the landlord

11:05 pm

babblinanm

I was askin' for clues Jac!! :)

11:05 pm

Jacula

Oh! Right!

11:05 pm

FranMag

babblin, 11:04 and 11:05 are your clues

11:06 pm

Jacula

id4/6 - no carbon required paper. Used for forms.

11:06 pm

stidmama

ummm.. riemann? are you in South Dakota?

11:07 pm

mamabear

maybe it's too late..... the instructions are not helping.... about as foggy in my head as London on a rainy day

11:07 pm

Jacula

Mama - what instructions?

11:07 pm

FranMag

try it when you aren't so tired mama.

11:07 pm

Smeltzdog

I agree...it seems challenging

11:08 pm

mamabear

on the quote puzzler site

11:08 pm

FranMag

jac, she went to try quote-puzzler

11:08 pm

riemann

I haven't seen any stone carvings of Presidents lately, but I do like algebra, geometry and OLD friends. *grin*

11:08 pm

FranMag

yes smeltz, they are short and challenging and work your brain!

11:09 pm

stidmama

*singing*
A foggy day
in London Town
had me low and had me down.
I viewed the morning
with alarm
the British Museum had lost its charm.

How long, I wondered,
Could this thing last?
But the Age of Miracles hadn't passed --
for suddently
I saw you there

And through foggy London Town the sun was shining ---
everywhere!

11:09 pm

nrkii

I try to do them before babble -- good way to start day with a brain stretch

11:09 pm

Jacula

FranMag - ah! Well, I wouldn't know! It won't even let me try it! GRRR. Will get hold of that Douglas person you mentioned later.

11:09 pm

babblinanm

Ok!!! Fabulous...thank you all for your assistance! I've just been entering all the words in lickety's page though...guess I have to enter on the babble page if I want to see the fireworks eh??

11:09 pm

FranMag

brb, have to start dinner

11:09 pm

stidmama

OLD is relative, professor! LOL so what do you think? OF course you get to start with a small, relatively easy grid!

11:10 pm

stidmama

folks, meet our dear friend of over 20 years -- riemann (though why he chose this name, I do not know).

11:10 pm

Jacula

babblinanm - you mos certainly do!

11:10 pm

FranMag

yes babblinanm!

11:10 pm

FranMag

welcome riemann!

11:10 pm

mamabear

welcome, riemann!!!!!

11:10 pm

FranMag

brb

11:10 pm

babblinanm

transferring data now!!

11:10 pm

stidmama

Though it is really unusual for him to be awake this late!

11:11 pm

riemann

Thanks, people. 'Tis not as easy as it looks, but I seem to be making progress.

11:11 pm

nrkii

welcom riemann!!!

11:11 pm

Jacula

I don't even see him in the chatlog.

11:11 pm

mamabear

we're here to help, riemann!

11:11 pm

Jacula

Sorry riemann!

11:11 pm

Jacula

Ah! Gotcha at last! Hello.

11:12 pm

riemann

Good e'en, Jac

11:12 pm

Jacula

5.11 am here in UK. So, it's early here!

11:12 pm

nrkii

we have good sailing words tonight, which I am grateful for

11:12 pm

oggy

morning all.

11:13 pm

stidmama

funny, I always interpret those babblets as being armorial in nature!

11:13 pm

Jacula

Or even late, in my case, since I've not been to bed yet.

11:13 pm

Minveryork

Hello Oggy! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid!

11:13 pm

stidmama

morning, oggy! it finally cooled down on our side of the world, how goes it for you?

11:13 pm

Minveryork

Stidmama,sorry I interrupted your great story today

11:13 pm

Jacula

First word I found on today's grid was pi4/5.:(

11:14 pm

mamabear

Someone just hit me with the sleepy fish - will tackle that puzzle quote thing another day - nite all!

11:14 pm

oggy

its still warm here, a bit too warm.

GreyWoulf

They have been discussing a Wonder Woman movie and they actually were considering asking her to try to reprise the role, but she quickly pointed out that she is too old for the part-- but they will most likely cast her in the role of Hippolyta -- WW's mother

GreyWoulf

Love My Fair Lady and have a claim to family fame there. My grandfather (eventually Professor of Linguistics at Columbia in NY) was a pioneer in phonetics and taught all his 10 kids his methods. One son was the technical advisor to the movie *Pygmalion" on which MFL was based. He supplied all the speech exercises which GBSahw didn't, such as "The Rain in Spain..." etc
