3:02 am

froelica

the oregon coast is cool because it changes SO much from north to south. something for everyone.

3:02 am

Atalante

why would I ever do that!!!

3:02 am

Atalante

its gorgeous. I love Cannon Beach, and I love the big shipwreck on the beach that I can never remember what its called

3:03 am

froelica

that's my personal favorite place on the coast ata

3:03 am

sprite

Perhaps for asking you to change things back :)
So, now I need to get dressed for physiotherapy. When will I babble? *giggles*

3:04 am

snppngtrtle

Do either of you know where to find the rock form The Goonies? My boyfriend and I searched for a while but couldn't find it.

3:04 am

froelica

haystack rock at cannon beach

3:04 am

Atalante

*giggles* things like that don't bother me in the slightest :) well, not for the first 12 times ...

3:05 am

snppngtrtle

Cool thanks! We'll have to get out there again before winter.

3:05 am

froelica

the movie says its in astoria, but its really all filmed in cannon beach- haystack rock and ecola state park just north of the town

3:06 am

Atalante

3:07 am

sprite

((((Ata))))
Wow, I need to go there. Looks beautiful!

3:08 am

froelica

if anybody ever goes to cannon beach again, go to ecola state park. absolutely the best view of the coast.

3:08 am

Atalante

there's a few pretty oregon pics here: http://elegaer-again.deviantart.com/ga
llery/ all from May

3:09 am

snppngtrtle

3:10 am

Atalante

3:10 am

froelica

beautiful, ata

3:10 am

snppngtrtle

We went to Cape Disappointment when we were there. That was really amazing.

3:11 am

froelica

i know, deceiving name, huh :)

3:11 am

sprite

Great, Ata! I am so glad you feel that way. It is working out even better than we thought, isn't it?
And PSP helps, I think?

3:12 am

snppngtrtle

Yeah, no disappointments there. Unless you're a ship.

3:13 am

Atalante

yes - PSP really helps :) and yes, its going to end up wonderful, I just know!

3:13 am

froelica

hehe! "yay, land! waaah!!"

3:14 am

snppngtrtle

Great pics Ata!

3:15 am

Atalante

you both live in a gorgeous gorgeous place ...

3:15 am

froelica

thanks! i think so too :)

3:16 am

snppngtrtle

Yeah, I had the choice of moving here or New Orleans. I think I made the right decision. Although I do love NO.

3:16 am

froelica

i'm slowing down. i'm distracted by conan o'brien...

3:17 am

froelica

i've never been, always wanted to go, snpp!

3:19 am

Atalante

I'd love to go there too ... next year I'm hoping *fingers crossed* to be able to come over to the US for a good few weeks. My best friend and I are aiming to go down to Dragon*Con in Atlanta, and then she wants to show me around Arizona, where she grew up. Then some time in Astoria as well

3:19 am

snppngtrtle

It's a wonderful city. Really sad to go back after Katrina though. The destruction is just unbelievable.

3:19 am

sprite

Atalanta to Atlanta... seems fitting!

3:20 am

Atalante

lol yes! hadnt thought of that!

3:20 am

froelica

that sounds awesome ata. see, and i'm hoping to go to the uk next year. we'll be ships passing in the night

3:20 am

Beast

well i'm off now for dinner, cya later

3:21 am

metaleather

bye for now Beast

3:22 am

Calqhoon

I'm surprised spam isn't recognised. Is it considered a brand-name or something?

3:22 am

sprite

Isn't it an abbrev?

3:22 am

froelica

yeah, i think its technically not food either

3:22 am

Atalante

you should like it over here, its very similar in a lot of ways to Oregon

3:23 am

Calqhoon

Stupid, Pointless, Annoying Meat.

3:23 am

sprite

Hehehe :)

3:23 am

metaleather

but tasty if fried very crisp

3:24 am

froelica

3:25 am

sprite

I have to go, back later. Looking forward to your mail, Ata! *hugs*
For those finishing before I get back, have a great day/night/whatever.
And for the rest: happy babbling ;)

3:25 am

3:27 am

Haz1558

It's a lovely sunny day here, though I think we had some frost through the night...

3:27 am

froelica

3:27 am

froelica

frost already? wow

3:27 am

amandacath

Morning all! There aren't possibly 286 words in there - there are exactly 133, I'm sure of it!

3:28 am

rumplestiltskin

Anyone have a clue for the sp4,6 just above the sp*****, worn with a kilt?

3:28 am

amandacath

prose

3:28 am

amandacath

ummm, 134...

3:28 am

ExWren

Morning Haz. Just a noe to say I'm not playing again today. 285 is too much for me. However I did find an icon from todays grid!

3:28 am

Atalante

nope,definitely 137 amanda!

3:29 am

FMitch

Add a cons to the end amander for 135

3:29 am

ExWren

Ha! rumple has already found it

3:29 am

FMitch

Morning Haz and Hi ExWren

3:29 am

amandacath

rumple, is that sp4/6 the nasty word for mexicans?

3:29 am

Haz1558

Good morning ex-Wren - your sp7/32 is a very decorative one!

3:30 am

Haz1558

Good morning FMitch!

3:30 am

ExWren

And an expensive one, priced at $285.

3:30 am

rumplestiltskin

That was it Amandacath, thanks.

3:31 am

Haz1558

My word! I knew kilts were expensive, I didn't realise all the accoutrements could be so dear as well.

3:32 am

jeanniejinx

Morning all..This was a bit of a shock after two easy grids..114 and pulling hair out already

3:33 am

froelica

i know, jeannie. slowed to a halt at 128, myself

3:33 am

amandacath

yw, rumple

3:34 am

FMitch

Haz that's probably why they can't afford anything underneath.

3:34 am

jeanniejinx

I always say I'm not gonna start these big ones..Always do then waste the rest of the day trying to find words i've never heard of lol..True addiction

3:34 am

Haz1558

That's as logical an explanation as any, FMitch!

3:34 am

Atalante

sounds very very familiar ...

3:35 am

jeanniejinx

lol

3:38 am

Atalante

and I think this one is going to certainly take a while ...

3:38 am

jeanniejinx

3:46 am

Haz1558

Fmitch - it sounds as though he's just arrived in your house.....

3:47 am

FMitch

HaHa

3:48 am

Atalante

I'm too tired to deal with excel today - next door neighbours have yet another new kitten - he's very cute, but he yells at our window at 3am onward every morning ...

3:50 am

Haz1558

Not quite the dawn chorus the poets talk about....

3:50 am

Atalante

haz? is that napoleon?

3:51 am

Haz1558

3:51 am

Haz1558

3:54 am

FMitch

I was wondering what he was cluing Haz, and I still am as I don't have that one yet

3:54 am

Haz1558

No, nothing so complicated!

3:55 am

Haz1558

FMItch - if you find out Napoleon's birthplace, then you're almost there.

3:55 am

Ray100

So "Satan" doesn't exist after all!

3:55 am

FMitch

Got it before you posted thanks Haz

3:56 am

FMitch

3:56 am

Haz1558

You're welcome!

3:56 am

amandacath

3:59 am

Atalante

4:01 am

Haz1558

4:01 am

jeanniejinx

cya FMitch

4:01 am

Atalante

byeeee!

4:02 am

Atalante

whats the strangest present you've ever received?

4:02 am

amandacath

see ys mitch

4:02 am

amandacath

Ata, is your icon a clue - 'cause if it's not I'll quit wracking my brains to figure it out...

4:02 am

PappouTed

morning all, I knew it was too good to be true. Back to jumbo grids, LOL

4:03 am

Atalante

yes it is :)

4:03 am

jeanniejinx

well there were the two foot high black cat shaped vases with holes in their heads for flowers..they were pretty scary looking too lol

4:04 am

Atalante

oh. um. yes .... interesting! I remember my mother bought me a terracotta pot for putting garlic bulbs in when I'd asked for books. That was kinda strange

4:04 am

amandacath

oh dear, jeannie! Were they at least funky, or just plain yuck?

4:05 am

jeanniejinx

well they were a 21st birthday present from my bother..he wanted to get me something 'unusual' lol

4:05 am

jeanniejinx

*brother

4:06 am

jeanniejinx

They were downright frightening..I've never seen cats with faces so vicious ..i had to use them for a while, but used to turn them round at night so i didnt have to lookat them lol

4:07 am

amandacath

ah, men and presents. That explains it. I finally developed the strategy with my ex of taking him to the store and putting what I wanted into his hand and leading him to the check-out. It was the only way...

4:07 am

jeanniejinx

but knowing my brother..that was exactly what he expected...

4:08 am

jeanniejinx

Ah Husbands fine..Can always get the right thing there, perhaps it's a bit of sibling rivalry lol

4:08 am

Jacula

Morning all. My icon is a clue for j6/36.

4:13 am

Jacula

I've just opened my back door to find that a phantom head shaver has been out there overnight... going by the colour of the hair it's either Paul's or my daughter's boyfriend's. As there's no grey in it (so5/14 Paul!) I'm assuming it the daughter's b'f's. 'Nice' of him to leave it strewn all over the back door ma4/4!

4:13 am

ilandrah

4:13 am

amandacath

4:14 am

PappouTed

4:14 am

Atalante

4:15 am

ilandrah

4:15 am

PappouTed

FranMag

5:03 am

amandacath

the grid-theme today seems to be scottish accoutrements. We've got hats and bags, maybe there are some shoes, gloves or stockings hidden in there somewhere!

5:04 am

sprite

I am trying everything in sight with 'male' or 'males' behind it. I just cannot believe what takes!

5:17 am

FMitch

Have you got the yo8 sprite - that has to be today's strangest word!

Whoo Hoooo, a big grid on my vacation day, LOL

5:34 am

metaleather

the dictionary is unreliable... it accepts the singular of the last st5/10, but won't accept a plural!

5:34 am

amandacath

Hi Pam Hi Pam

5:34 am

pam

Only, I am taking a train to CT, and the train is not wired, 8-(

5:35 am

pam

Hi, marso, fran, amanda, et al!

5:35 am

Haz1558

There's a debate about the st5/10 - it isn't included in enable, but Dr-God accepts it here. The plural must be a stage too far.

5:36 am

marso

hi haz :)

5:36 am

pam

what st 5/10???? Inquiring minds....

5:36 am

Haz1558

Hello marso!

hey mrp

9:45 am

bunnyvicious

ty, we'll find out how well today after I start a nailin'! Trying my luck with gardening too, still can't figure the difference between peat and mulch...

9:45 am

stidmama

Hi MrP! :-)

9:45 am

raelite

yay stid!

9:46 am

mrpresident

time to play!! very late here, but going to go for it!!

9:46 am

stidmama

Peat goes IN the soil to add acidity and "loft" -- mulch goes ON the soil to keep down weeds and hold in moisture.

9:46 am

Anniebrook

Hi mrp!

9:46 am

metaleather

hello Mr.P

9:46 am

hi stidmama!

9:47 am

raelite

you can do it mr pres!

9:47 am

mrpresident

hi rae, rolin, stidmama, annie metal et al!!

9:47 am

bunnyvicious

Ooh, Stid, TY! So..um (stupid question), does potting soil already have peat in it?

9:47 am

mrpresident

it is saturday morning!! good lord... later than I thought!

9:48 am

stidmama

LOL MrP!

9:49 am

stidmama

not a stupid question at all! read the label on the potting soil. It should tell you everything that went into it. A good potting soil is generally neutral pH or slightly acid. It should feel slightly damp coming out of the bag, but still fall apart fairly easily.

9:49 am

rolin

mrp..isnt 3am there??

9:49 am

stidmama

oh -- and some potting soils use peat moss, others use "cocoa peat" which is more environmentally friendly.

9:50 am

mrpresident

coming onto 1am rolin

9:50 am

rolin

oh yeah...maths has never been a strong point with me

9:50 am

caitlyn

mrpresident you must be tired!

9:50 am

bunnyvicious

Thanks, maybe a can get a few plants to live. I'm starting off easy, Crepe Myrtle, Rose of Sharon, Roses... I'll do some good landscaping next year after I get the retainer walls built.

9:51 am

torgone

rolin used a word ..

9:51 am

rolin

i did???

9:51 am

raelite

I read that coco peat is really dangerous for dogs, stid

9:51 am

rolin

ooops..so i did...lol..s5

9:51 am

raelite

my agility club sent an email around about dogs eating coco peat and dying!

9:52 am

Wyrd

peat of any kind can be a breathing irritant in house plants

9:52 am

torgone

m4/6s

9:52 am

mrpresident

what is coco peat?

9:52 am

bunnyvicious

As long as it's ok with the cats, I am not a dog person. Oh, and the kids. The twins still eat dirt and grasshoppers.

9:52 am

Wyrd

which, if you put peat in houseplants, it can make them get mossy, not a great indoor thing

9:52 am

mrpresident

what is an agility club??

9:52 am

raelite

peat made with cocoa tree bark I think

9:52 am

raelite

agility is a dog sport where they jump over things and run through shutes

9:53 am

mrpresident

ah!

9:53 am

abe79

if peat is in houseplants, will it sometimes form a white , mold-like layer on top of the soil?

9:53 am

raelite

and go on teeter-totters! it's so much fun

9:53 am

stidmama

Crepe Myrtle is a small tree, Rose of Sharon is related to Hisbiscus but is a much airier (and smaller)shrub. Have the people at the nursery show you where the plants start to swell just above the roots -- that needs to be kept just above the soil line... and all new plants, even trees, need regular DEEP watering the first year -- don't let them dry out.

9:53 am

Wyrd

i think it tends to form green molds

9:53 am

bunnyvicious

Have I mentioned I'm easily confused.... I'll just stick with miracle grow.

9:54 am

raelite

I have a rose of sharon...it's beautiful! blooming like crazy right now too

9:54 am

stidmama

I haven't heard that about coco peat, but I always have it as part of the mix -- my dogs don't tend to eat dirt!

9:54 am

abe79

interesting...

9:54 am

raelite

apparently they can smell the cocoa in the peat...

9:54 am

mrpresident

my dog is perfect... she doesn't do doggy things... oops... must be a cat

9:54 am

bunnyvicious

TY, for the advice Stid, I'll know where to beg for help come spring!

9:54 am

stidmama

mold can form on and in ANY soil (actually some needs to, it helps break the soil down for the plant to use it).

9:55 am

EvaNadine

whoa, i think i fell asleep there for a minute...heh

9:55 am

caitlyn

LOL mrpresident

9:55 am

dl88

i thought you put the lime with the coco nut and shake it all up

9:55 am

Anniebrook

Stid, I dont have a backyard (live in an apartment) but I have a terrace, would a Rose of Sharon do well in a large pot on a sort of windy terrace????

9:55 am

stidmama

And I apologize for the confusion. Cocoa hulls as mulch are different from coco peat -- which is the fibers off coconut husks.

9:55 am

aknitter

morning all -- all this garden advice is great. anyone know how to gegt rid of bittersweet vine?

9:55 am

Wyrd

raelite, i have a rose of sharon blooming too, but i really dont know anything much about them

I don't know much about it either, wyrd, but I keep it well watered and give it fertilizer every 2 weeks in the summer and it seems to love life

9:56 am

aknitter

some evil bird dropped bittersweet berries in to my garden and now the vine has taken over

9:57 am

caitlyn

Hi FMitch

9:57 am

stidmama

Annie, I think you want something a little more wind-resistant and cold-tolerant, unless you have a place to bring it inside for winters. There is a lovely plant called "abutilon" with similar foliage and beautiful dangly flowers that does well in pots and would be relatively easy to keep alive (or treat as an annual and get new ones in the spring)

9:57 am

stidmama

{{{daisy}}}

9:57 am

FMitch

Hey caitlyn

9:57 am

aknitter

pa 8 is an outfit from the 80's thank god they are out of style

9:57 am

mrpresident

the T's are tricky!! (and that better not be a word)!!

9:58 am

stidmama

evanadine, there is a little more about his passing at BabAnon under "Meet and Greet" -- there will be a memorial in Memphis this Sunday.

9:58 am

caitlyn

Great icon clue FMitch

9:59 am

Anniebrook

Stidmama, thank you for your advice, I will get an abutilon nexy year and try it on the terrace. I have a garden out there and it is so pretty and restful. I didnt think a Rose of Sharon would go but had to ask.

9:59 am

FMitch

Thanks caitlyn

9:59 am

stidmama

oh -- and I think miracle grow is a fine way to get into gardening. As your confidence improves you can think about some of the other ways to feed your plants. I highly recommend the "Organic Gardening" website and magazine for new gardeners...

9:59 am

Ragalla

thanks akintter, i had one and at the time thought it was ace. i was young and foolish...

9:59 am

10:01 am

raelite

...neither is mens though

10:01 am

bunnyvicious

I'll look into the site, I definately need the help. My grandma and mother have been helping me along. Some of it is common sense, I'm having more trouble knowing what I can plant together, and what amounts of sun and shade to put them in. I just drive around and scope out what is doing well in other yards.

10:02 am

rolin

i can remember being taken to the races for the first time...when i was 14...and my mum bought me a very stylish bright green pa8

10:02 am

I like your icon raelite

10:02 am

raelite

thank you

10:03 am

shorty

and what you wrote in your bio

10:03 am

stidmama

bunny, your last sentence is the KEY to easy gardening! Look at what seems to do well locally (everyone will be growing it!) and ask the local nurseries for advice because they know the climate and soils. And don't be afraid to experiment. DO consider the mature size of plants though... it's easy to plant way too much too close together otherwise (from one who knows... *grin*)

10:03 am

11:06 am

majmom

am7/32 and as4/5 any clues please

11:08 am

abe79

am 7- sounds like an illness that afflicts the elderly, similar to alzheimers

11:08 am

stidmama

I just had a lucid moment... and realized that one of the things that annoys Tom most about our Lucky is inherent in the breed.

11:09 am

abe79

what is that 'thing', Stid?

11:09 am

stidmama

He's a german SHEPHERD dog. *duh* so when we wants us somewhere he comes right in next to us and pushes on our legs! *facepalm*

11:09 am

phandmd

Hey Guys! I am back for some more words. need clue for 1st en words pls

11:09 am

stidmama

It annoys Tom no end, but it's what the dog DOES! LOL now I understand what's going on, perhaps I can figure out a way to explain it to BOTH of them so they can get along!

11:10 am

stidmama

hi phandmd!

11:10 am

phandmd

Hi Stid!

11:10 am

majmom

ty abe79 got the am7/32-any clues to as4/5

11:10 am

phandmd

that would be 1st 2 en words I need clues for

11:11 am

stidmama

not far enough along to help phand, not listed yet.

11:11 am

phandmd

as 4/5 is something to do with computers

11:11 am

phandmd

darn

11:11 am

phandmd

I think the as 4/5 is a language

11:11 am

abe79

Stid- my SIL has a german shepherd and he loves to get next to people, but he's so big that he often pushes too hard. he doesn't mean it, like you said, it's in the breed

11:12 am

hurshy

hellokeydoo everyone

11:12 am

majmom

ty got it

11:12 am

abe79

i call him the lumox (sp?). Hi Hurshy

11:12 am

phandmd

yw

11:12 am

stidmama

{{{hurshy}}} how is school going so far? are you about a month in?

11:12 am

hurshy

the computer language has 2 i's, but, it does help for cluing

11:12 am

hurshy

lol, stidmama, no, kids arrived yesterday and classes start monday

11:12 am

bethanyej

an5,10?

11:13 am

hurshy

lummox i think abe

11:13 am

stidmama

yes, abe, that's been the concern. I think I can use it to everyone's advantage now that I know what's motivating him. Thanks for confirming my hunch!

11:13 am

ch1212

both are plurals, beth

11:13 am

stidmama

oh! you start late for an east-coast school!

11:13 am

rolin

does anyone have the ar4?

11:13 am

hurshy

*guffaws at rolin*

11:13 am

ch1212

you bet your ar** I do

11:13 am

stidmama

rolin, what are you sitting on?

11:14 am

ch1212

:D

11:14 am

stidmama

*giggle*

11:14 am

hurshy

private school, stid. but also, i went to public school on the east coast and we started around now too.

11:14 am

abe79

ah lummox...thanks! those german shepherds can be a little ditzy, but they are oh so loyal!

11:14 am

rolin

o poo...i didnt look up.......thats not to say i have my head up me a4....lol

11:14 am

hurshy

now, may i have some clues? i need si7 and the sp7/8 combo.

11:14 am

stidmama

oh -- in Virginia (thirty years ago) we started middle of August -- always a week or so b!efore labor day

11:14 am

bethanyej

thanks

11:15 am

abe79

si 7- continuation of si 4/5

11:15 am

rolin

hurshy...sp7/8 is the scotsman purse

11:15 am

hurshy

i am supposed to know what scotsman carry their money in? (and where do they put it? do kilts have pockets?)

11:15 am

stidmama

yes, he loves me, and he tolerates the others *smile* actually I think he is almost as protective of them as he is of me. But not to the point of being mean to others -- as soon as I hug someone, he seems to understand they're "mine" and he is to play nice.

11:16 am

stidmama

scotsmen wear a little pouch in front of their "parts" outside the kilt. It's usually fur-covered.

11:16 am

rolin

you know...sp+alternative+fast walk past tense

11:17 am

abe79

my SIL has a 7 month old girl, and Jake is great around her as well

11:17 am

hurshy

i have got it, and now i have learnt my new thing for the day

11:17 am

hurshy

11:17 am

Atalante

it features prominently on scott's porage oats packets :P

11:18 am

hurshy

hey ata! i don't think we have those here.

11:58 am

Wolvie

ah - refresh ak - you will see the difference. :-)

11:59 am

Wolvie

the bridge was yesterday - I was bad and didn't change my icon until this morning

12:00 pm

aknitter

when i click on your icon for a close up i still see a bridge the weenie version on the chat looks different

12:00 pm

Wolvie

oh. well - no idea how to fix that - on my screen they are one and the same.

12:01 pm

aknitter

very odd

12:03 pm

ladynoire1013

12:04 pm

ladynoire1013

and why isnt "hemastat" a word?

12:05 pm

kc8501

lots of words that aren't "words"

12:05 pm

Atalante

cos its hemostat isn't it?

12:05 pm

Wolvie

lady - there are many that "aren't" today - frustrating, I agree

12:05 pm

ladynoire1013

depends on the manufacturer

12:07 pm

torgone

wolvie used a word . . .

12:08 pm

Atalante

makes more sense as hemo- / haemo- I would think cos that's the normal word root

12:08 pm

Wolvie

Hey, I'm a nurse and I can't keep up with all the changes

12:13 pm

bubba218

12:13 pm

Atalante

(tr) sounds like a trade name ...they probably couldnt register the "proper" spelling

12:13 pm

ladynoire1013

2:22 pm

Krys10

if you can't get out of the ticket, at least you won't have to pay as much higher insurance since it's only for a certain number of years after the incident

shmoozanne

hey wolvie

2:24 pm

chj

it was a bogus ticket...theres a stretch of about 2 miles where they reduce the speed limit to an unreasonably low 35 mph...the cop said i was doing 72....no friggin way was i doing 72...55 tops

2:24 pm

Wolvie

one 5/12 was ma *** - one who walks thru a labrynth, say

2:24 pm

Wolvie

the other ma 5/12 right with that, I don't have

2:25 pm

chj

and a few weeks later i went back over the same stretch at 35 and nearly caused a big pileup what with the other cars whizzing by

2:25 pm

nrkii

chj, I got a ticket like that... went to court... all they wanted was my money

2:25 pm

nrkii

stinkers

2:25 pm

sorry to hear that, chj, NY cops have always favored CT license plates for giving tickets

2:26 pm

chj

i dont mind the money as much as the bad mark on my driving record

2:26 pm

Wolvie

bad news, chj - hope it works out

2:26 pm

nrkii

they took away all the points and reduced the fine from $270 to $100

2:26 pm

2:45 pm

ladynoire1013

sounds like a fun wedding - not!

2:45 pm

2:46 pm

nrkii

5 to go

2:46 pm

oggy

any clue for so7 please

2:46 pm

klaurel

so I said that we will keep her out of the ceremony, and the maid of honor was like "No offense, but that is probably best since she is . . ." and I pretty much tuned her out before I punched her

2:46 pm

klaurel

my daughter is a rambunctious 3 year old (barely)

2:47 pm

klaurel

and people usually think that a little of that is cute.

2:47 pm

torgone

Give her a bunch of candy then take her to the ceremony ..

2:47 pm

debbinla

yeah, she is what - FAMILY?

2:47 pm

klaurel

at least I always think so.

2:47 pm

debbinla

lol torgone

2:48 pm

klaurel

nah, she is asleep anyway. hubby getting a ride to church with someone else and I will drive there later

2:48 pm

debbinla

it's rude

2:48 pm

Atalante

we didn't have any young kids at our wedding, but we'd decided on that ages before and asked people *very* politely if they wouldn't mind getting a babysitter or something for that evening. you can't just ban them on the day!!

2:49 pm

Krys10

ok, my laptop is out of juice. will be back to finish later. thanks to everyone for all the good clues!

2:49 pm

klaurel

but, it was HILARIOUS, we went ot lunch with the groom and his best man (aka brother) and his family and his wife was like, oh, its okay, just sit her in the back and it will be fine when I said that I wasn;t going to the ceremony and the bride won't mind

2:49 pm

jillibus

brb

2:50 pm

klaurel

and I said, oh no, when my hubby was walking his sister down the aisle during rehearsal and daughter ran to daddy, bride said to hubby "She'd better not to that at my wedding", so, we decided to sit out, the best man's wife was like OH.

2:50 pm

klaurel

so, I got my licks in :)

2:50 pm

klaurel

since I said it in front of the groom

2:50 pm

ladynoire1013

2:50 pm

klaurel

who didn't know we wer't coming to the ceremony

2:50 pm

nrkii

2:50 pm

I agree with Atalante. People need to make decisions about children beforehand. Good on you, Klaurel, for being the better person!

2:51 pm

2:51 pm

chj

ta5 ta*** buds

2:51 pm

klaurel

2:52 pm

klaurel

:) I always said the best people in my hubby's family married in and that I got the only good one out of that bunch

2:52 pm

cybernan

Considering the bride's attitude, I think I would have skipped the wedding entirely -- won't it be interesting to see what she thinks, when she has a three year old?

2:53 pm

klaurel

I wanted to, but she is still my sis-in-law.

2:53 pm

abe79

baby ushers? aw, they must have been adorable!

2:53 pm

klaurel

that is SO nice, Atalante.

2:54 pm

abe79

klaurel - will the 'festivities' take up the entire weekend?

2:54 pm

3:09 pm

klaurel

and hubby had to zip me into my dress before he went

3:09 pm

cybernan

lunch time -- good luck, everyone -- back at the flip. Hope you have a lovely time at the reception, klaurel -- dance on the table top!

3:10 pm

gailinrb

3:10 pm

klaurel

OH! And when I said that I was thinking of a black dress, she told me I couldn't wear a black dress because it is the bridemaids color

3:10 pm

klaurel

I mean, I Can understand EGGPLANT or FUSCIA, but BLACK!!

3:10 pm

gailinrb

what? her bridesmaids are wearing black??

3:10 pm

Atalante

3:11 pm

Klaurel sounds like you are better off staying where you are for the time being dang what a bitch

3:11 pm

Atalante

and *why* are the bridesmaids wearing BLACK!

3:11 pm

abe79

she has no right to tell you what to wear

3:11 pm

klaurel

yes and kinda. I found this dress that looks almost like a tux with a white lacy top and long black skirt

3:12 pm

klaurel

Black is really in now for bridesmaids, I wore black as a bridesmaid in a friend's wedding, but black is such a common formal color that to say no is ridiculous

3:12 pm

Charm

kl, I can only hope it gets better from here!
Eat all the most expensive items on the menu !!
at least my outlaw waited until we had a child before telling me everything she regretted about me and our marriage.

3:12 pm

phandmd

8:23 pm

Jacula

Lev - I wouldn't dream of giving you clues unless you asked for them. Mind you, if you don't want to see clues, as I don't when I first start a grid, you could switch the chatlog off...

8:23 pm

kalea

phan....its french for rogue

8:24 pm

Jacula

phan - it's a French rogue, a lothario/Delboy type.

8:32 pm

Jacula

I was trying to clue the ha5 but the server's gone weird on me again. Dr_G's advice worked for a week or two, but, today (maybe because a big grid?) it's all 'unresponsive script' stuff in Firefox again.:(

8:38 pm

Jacula

aknitter - I will scan in the pattern and send it to you later then. How big is your inbox? (If you'll pardon such a 'personal' question)? Do I need to zip it into a folder and, if I do, do you have the means to unzip it?

8:38 pm

brandyjack

en5/12, he made an insensitve remark, and in the en***ing upraor gat smacked with a fish...

8:38 pm

8:39 pm

Jacula

Hiya BJ. Are you another guy like Torg who found ti4.4 jumped out at him?

8:39 pm

Jacula

aknitter - Should I send the pattern, since it has a pic, too, in a zipped file?

8:40 pm

brandyjack

actaully, the te4/4 variant is more noticable to me. I mean, I did find it, eventually. I'm not blind. Much.

8:40 pm

Vicuna

Guys must love it when ti4/4 do that. It worked for Justin Timberlake! (If I have my pop reference right.)

8:40 pm

Jen34

sp 7 plz?

8:40 pm

aknitter

it should come through just fine unzipped jac (that sounds rather funny doesn't it)

8:40 pm

wurdygurl

I know this is a fish but I need the p 4 right after the one you cook on

8:40 pm

Jacula

LOL, BJ.

8:40 pm

jillibus

8:45 pm

wisedoggy

Is hairy manpurse a clue to a real word ?

8:45 pm

Vicuna

Okay, wisedoggy. First 4 letters of the "seeds" of a mushroom or fern, plus what you did in a race.

8:49 pm

Jacula

aknitter - I need to scan the pattern into my computer. That might be a noisy process at 2.48 am here when both my 'kids' (a miracle!) are upstairs sleeping and so is my Other Half. I went to bed at about 20 past 9 last night and got up and about 9am. Too much sleep!

8:49 pm

jaianniah

8:53 pm

Jacula

wurdygurl - pa6 means 'giving birth to'. pa + ro5/12 minus last letter.

8:54 pm

Vicuna

8:54 pm

Jen34

8:54 pm

Vicuna

Goodnight, aknitter.

8:54 pm

Jacula

8:54 pm

wisedoggy

8:54 pm

scv

ah! i hadn't even thought of that one, vicuna

8:54 pm

jillibus

8:54 pm

Jen34

I think the last time "grid" was on the grid, we were all granted fish immunity

8:55 pm

Jen34

vi's clues are great. I heart vi.

8:55 pm

Vicuna

But it's such a good-looking clue, jilli!

8:56 pm

Vicuna

8:58 pm

stidmama

Hi Jill! How's Tarquin?

8:58 pm

stidmama

hi all!

8:58 pm

Jacula

Since Babble went Beta I've found that when I save my found words to 'notepad' it, irritatingly also includes 'Look Up Word' on the l/h side of my word list. I've overcome that by doing 'Replace All/Match Case'. Is it just me though?

8:58 pm

Jacula

Hi again Stidmama. Are you rested now?

8:58 pm

stidmama

Hi Jacula!

8:59 pm

As Nan fell asleep last night, she thought she heard the beat of wings on the window.

9:05 pm

stidmama

LOL inge! I will tally it again when I am done -- thanks for letting me know!

9:06 pm

svso

I just noticed this grid doesn't recognize a lot of foreign food. Ramen, rosti, and suey (as in chop suey) are all here. lol

9:06 pm

stidmama

It was probably only the branch of the vine that clambered up the front of the house and crawled over the roof of the porch. Still, it "sounded" like wings. And her dreams were filled with strange creatures and far-off lands.

9:06 pm

Jacula

inge - I was INJF on the Myers-Briggs thing.

9:07 pm

stidmama

She saw again the strange bird-person. It was perched on the tall roots of a toppled tree near a river.

9:07 pm

inge

but the ENfj are gaining...

9:08 pm

stidmama

The cataracts of the river drowned out the sound of its voice, but Nan strained to figure out what it wanted.

9:08 pm

stidmama

The wind shifted, and so did her dreams.

9:08 pm

Jacula

Don't care, Inge. I was nevr part of a gang anyway!

9:09 pm

stidmama

She was walking in a lovely valley, bright with spring flowers and the blades of new grasses. Little birds cavorted on the breeze and a baby rabbit hopped across the path in front of her.

9:10 pm

stidmama

A shadow fell across the path and the birds scattered.

9:10 pm

stidmama

She looked up, and a huge bird was circling, circling.

9:11 pm

stidmama

The wind outside shifted again and rattled the tiles on the chimneys, sending a puff of smoke through the brickwork into the room.

9:12 pm

stidmama

Nan was standing at the door of a tavern or inn, looking for someone. She couldn't remember who she needed to find, but she knew it was urgent.

9:12 pm

Amyvon1

wisedoggy are you on line?+

9:13 pm

stidmama

She tried to find the innkeeper, but in all the commotion and confusion, she found herself in a corner of the inglenook, face to face with a ragged, dirty stranger who shook a bony finger at her and started to scold.

9:13 pm

Natasha

Hi everyone

9:13 pm

Jacula

(I had a 'phone call from an old schoolfriend earlier. It seems one of the old gange from '72 has had an abrupt career change. She's starring in a sma;; theatre production play as almost the only actor. Having had the plot read to me, it doesn't sound a bundle of laughs. But she's invited about a dozen of us to see it. 'Blo*dy hell! I said to the old friend on the 'phone. 'What do we say when we go backstage, if it's awful?' 'Jac!' she said. 'You went to the same school as I did. Surely you must have learned to lie? Failing that, just slosh the wine back before, during and after and hope to God i doesn't make you truthful!' Oh! OOeer!

9:14 pm

stidmama

The wind shifted and died down, and Nan was in a small room lined with wood panels. Around the room were arranged beautiful boxes and brilliant lanterns in many colors.

9:14 pm

stidmama

Hi Natasha!

9:14 pm

stidmama

She reached out for a red and green bottle.

9:15 pm

Amyvon1

anyone have a clue for th 7?

9:15 pm

Jacula

Hi NAT. Welcome!

9:15 pm

stidmama

Esmeralda was in the downstairs bedroom, kept warm by the kitchen fire through the night. She lay a long time, thinking about her life.

9:15 pm

Jacula

Plural of th6. Amy.

9:16 pm

Amyvon1

thanks! got it

9:16 pm

stidmama

She remembered how, as a child, she had learned from her mother to recite poetry, and from her father to look carefully at everything and describe it with words.

9:16 pm

jillibus

OOps - supper's ready and I'm missing stid's story again! And regrettably, supper does not contain my new icon, as5/14

9:17 pm

stidmama

She remembered how as a young woman, she had married and set up house not far from her parents, anticipating many years of working side by side with her mother as the children grew up.

9:17 pm

stidmama

Later Jill!

9:17 pm

Jacula

Jilli's icon respresented the savoury jelly.

9:18 pm

Jacula

Stid - just must interrupt for a moment to check you are NOT La Vryle Spencer?

9:19 pm

stidmama

The tears leaked from her thin eyelids as she recalled the day she and her mother had climbed the hill to gather fresh bitter greens, leaving her husband to care for the little boy, just learning to walk and chattering in a happy tone all day long.

9:19 pm

stidmama

LOL Jacula!

9:20 pm

stidmama

From near the top of the ridge, they had looked back at the village in horror as they heard a rumble, and saw the village swallowed by a wall of mud and trees and rocks.

9:20 pm

stidmama

Her mother had fallen there, her heart broken, and had not risen.

9:20 pm

inge

this is going to be a very sad moment, isnt it, Stid???

9:20 pm

Jacula

I wasn't joking, Stid. I knew your story telling reminded me of someone... La Vryle came to mind first and then Nick Sparks.

9:21 pm

stidmama

[Sorry inge, I think it will resolve comfortably, though]

9:21 pm

stidmama

Esmeralda put her hands to her face and focused, as she had been taught in the monastery.

9:21 pm

Jacula

Stid's going to leave you on cliff-hanger now, Inge, if she's the story teller I think she is!

9:22 pm

stidmama

Slowly, small memory by small memory, she constructed the face of her husband. She recalled the sound of her son's voice. She felt the touch of her mother's hand.

9:22 pm

inge

no, Jacula, I trust her to leave me with plesant thoughts for the night

9:22 pm

Jacula

I'll just shut up shall I,. Stid? ZIIIIPPP!

9:23 pm

wurdygurl

could I interrupt with a request for the ra 7 clues pls

9:23 pm

stidmama

Her husband smiled at her, and held out his hand. She reached out, and -- just for a moment -- felt the warm strength as he embraced her.

9:23 pm

stidmama

Then, in an instant, they were gone.

9:24 pm

stidmama

Nan was standing by her bedside, shivering, despite the warmth of the room.

9:24 pm

9:25 pm

Amyvon1

thank you inge

9:25 pm

stidmama

"Doctor, I had a dream."

9:25 pm

stidmama

She hugged Esmeralda as if she were about to slip away.

9:25 pm

stidmama

Esmeralda hugged her back, gently.

9:26 pm

Jacula

ra7/32 - Thin brownish chaffy scales upon the leaves or young shoots of some plants, especially upon the petioles and leaves of ferns. Rhymes with an la**** that may bee sung at a funeral (and then addd 1ast vowel at end).

9:26 pm

stidmama

"I dreamed the bird person told me I needed to find you, and I was in a pretty place that was in danger, and then I was alone, and didn't know my name. And then I was in my pretty box and it was safe again."

9:27 pm

Jacula

Which word, Stid? scooched?

9:27 pm

inge

found no scooch in Webster's, how about scoot as a substitute?

9:27 pm

Jacula

No idea! I knew what you meant.

9:27 pm

stidmama

The doctor cleared her throat, "And what do you think that was about?"

9:27 pm

stidmama

yes Jacula -- I've never seen it written, just heard it!

9:28 pm

stidmama

Nan shivered, "I think it was about a Journey we take."

9:28 pm

stidmama

In a very small voice, she added, "I think it is about a journey you have to take."

9:29 pm

stidmama

They were silent for a moment, each thinking her own thoughts.

9:29 pm

lbdawger

help, need last st5 pls

9:30 pm

inge

9:30 pm

The little girl's heart stopped racing, and she relaxed as she felt the steady, strong rhythm of the old woman's breathing.

9:30 pm

stidmama

go lbd go!

9:31 pm

Jacula

lbd - last st5/10 is that medicl shunt thing they put into your body to give drugs like morphine etc. Can also be put into a heart to make it pump better.

9:31 pm

wisedoggy

Hey Amyvon - Did you have to start over?

9:31 pm

stidmama

Finally, Esmeralda spoke again. "Long ago, when I was a little bit older than you are now, my parents took a journey and I went with them.

9:31 pm

stidmama

that looks better, thanks lbd, and YAY!

9:32 pm

stidmama

"We had to travel by boat and we went over the same ocean that your father did. It took us many days on the water, and then many weeks traveling beyond that to reach the land where my father had been born."

9:32 pm

Amyvon1

hey wisedoggy, yes I did...only have 135...you?

9:32 pm

Jacula

9:32 pm

wisedoggy

9:33 pm

Amyvon1

9:33 pm

wurdygurl

I think I may give up...58 left and I have been here for what feels like all day

9:34 pm

wisedoggy

It must have been painful staring over. Actually just came back to this from "Ruins"...

9:34 pm

Jacula

Amy - you will have to be more specific than that to get clues on here.

9:34 pm

stidmama

"My father's people were known for their wisdom and ability to create things. They lived in strange woven houses high up on the sides of cliffs."

9:34 pm

Amyvon1

what part are you on?

9:35 pm

Jacula

Strange woven houses? Now tht's interesting!

9:35 pm

lbdawger

Jac, i googled it...that's the closest that came up to what i thought Stid was wanting.

9:35 pm

wisedoggy

Only about 50 pages past where I was today.

9:35 pm

wisedoggy

Nothing earth shattering yet

9:36 pm

inge

I googled skootch, and it does exist

9:36 pm

stidmama

"I remember my grandmother, she had very dark hair, like a young woman, that she wore in an intricate braided manner. But her skin was very thin and pale. And her nose was sharp and pointed. Her mouth was almost lipless."

9:36 pm

Amyvon1

yet...

9:36 pm

stidmama

"I was quite afraid of her, at first."

9:37 pm

Jacula

lbd - but I KNEW the word she said and what she meant by it. A colloquilism(?spelling) that has become people speak?

9:37 pm

lbdawger

grandma sounds like the bird person!

9:37 pm

Jacula

Grandma sounds v. scarey!

9:38 pm

wisedoggy

You never took my email address. That is why you had to start over right? We might be done by now!

9:38 pm

stidmama

"But after a few days, I grew to like her. She would take me with her to gather things -- bits of bark and grasses, roots and berries, flowers and branches and leaves. She gave me names for all of them, and repeated them as often as I needed until I knew them."

9:39 pm

Amyvon1

I forgot I needed it...it didn't take too long to get to about 80...now I'm stuck at 142

9:40 pm

lbdawger

go Phan!

9:40 pm

wisedoggy

Jeff alluded to something...an idea that he had, that he didn't think any of the others were ready for, not yet. I think that was foreshadowing for something intense. I think it has something to do with sacrificing Pablo.

9:40 pm

wisedoggy

Just a thought. .

9:40 pm

stidmama

"But they were all very much older than I was, and had their own tasks and lessons. Only my grandmother had the time and the patience to take me along on her walks."

9:41 pm

Amyvon1

jeff is a realist, and very selfish...

9:41 pm

"My mother just sat in the little house, doing needlework. My father would bring her a beautiful hank of wool or linen -- it was very soft and shiny, and I never did learn what it was called in our language -- and my mother would work as long as there was light, stitching, knitting, mending. She was very fast, and very good. It was a skill that all my cousins and aunts and uncles did not have and they were greatful for her abilities."

9:43 pm

wurdygurl

9:44 pm

wisedoggy

Stidmama, What novel are we reading ?

9:44 pm

stidmama

"My father was gone most of the time with his brothers and the other villagers. They seemed to be working on something important, but they never spoke of it near me or my mother."

9:44 pm

Amyvon1

9:44 pm

"Meantime, I climbed the cliffs with my grandmother, as spry as she was wrinkled, and walked the valleys, and paddled in the river on the warm days, looking for beautiful stones."

9:46 pm

stidmama

yes, wisedoggy.

9:46 pm

Jacula

For those only interested in finishing the grid right now, if you want to read Stid's story later, go to BabAnon.

9:46 pm

9:47 pm

stidmama

"The night before we left, my mother presented each of my relatives with a beautifully made robe. They were black when you looked at them one way, but rainbow colors when they moved. My father presented each one with a carved box."

wisedoggy I just went pro and you never loose the grid

9:48 pm

wisedoggy

Von - that is the plural of a musical instrument

9:48 pm

9:48 pm

Amyvon1

9:49 pm

wisedoggy

wurdy, what do you mean by "never loose the grid"

9:49 pm

Jacula

Being a Pro player is so much more fun.

9:49 pm

wisedoggy

9:49 pm

wurdygurl

after your trial period you lose the grid at the bottom that tells you how many words there are for the day and how many from each letter

9:50 pm

wisedoggy

Oh, yeah, the grid rocks.

9:50 pm

lbdawger

9:50 pm

stidmama

"My grandmother gave me a necklace, with a flask on it, and told me to guard it carefully and that I would someday know what it was for. She gave my mother a basket that could fold up very small, and a thin book. And to my father she gave a kiss."

9:50 pm

Amyvon1

"We left early in the morning, and did not look back at the village as we walked." When we came to the ocean, we got on a boat and came home. We did not look back."

"My parents never spoke of our travel unless asked, and to strangers they would say only that we have visited my father's family and spent some time with them so I would know them."

9:52 pm

Hetty, plural of the te 6/18

9:53 pm

stidmama

Nan snored gently and Esmeralda slipped her arm out from beneath the girl's head.

9:53 pm

Jacula

Hetty - te7/28 is plural form of te6/18 before it.

9:53 pm

stidmama

Carefully, she climbed out of bed and sat wrapped in an extra blanket in the chair by the window.

9:54 pm

stidmama

She watched the tops of the trees dancing in the moonlight, and watched the clouds as they scudded along, now thicker, now thinner, but never threatening rain.

9:54 pm

wisedoggy

OK just got back. One of my boys fell out of bed...thud!

9:55 pm

Jacula

Some of you may think I've been distractin Stid during her story. I hope Stid doesn't think that. I try to clue without distractions at the times I am here when the story is being told.

9:55 pm

9:56 pm

stidmama

She reached inside the neck of her shift and pulled out a delicate green and red vial. In soft, birdlike tones, she began singing a song of cliffs and updrafts, of the delight of the sunrise and the dark of the night.

9:56 pm

stidmama

YAY phandmd! good night.

9:56 pm

stidmama

Jacula, I am glad you clue people (usually I pick up a few words from you too)!

Jacula

Keep on telling the story, Stid...

9:57 pm

Amyvon1

10:17 pm

Scrabbler

With the bigger grids, and depending on the day, I shoot for 50%, so I have passed that point.

10:17 pm

Jacula

My first paid submission to and editor was when I was about 8. It never stopped from then until I .. my husband left me. I think he stole myy 'muse'.No one wants to read 'bitter' stuff and, until I can cntrol myself from scripting Top Gear, then I need to take a back seat/
