Good morning ex-Wren - sorry, was on the phone there.

3:16 am

Haz1558

It won't take defur. That's what happened to Spangle yesterday at the groomers, so why won't it take?

3:17 am

metaleather

it won't take the person who puts in or takes out the fu4/8 bdfore the fu5/20 either... and someone has to do it so it ought to take it

3:18 am

Haz1558

I agree.

3:18 am

metaleather

finally less than 10 to go

3:18 am

metaleather

I might make it before morning/bedtime after all

metaleather

rofl

3:29 am

FMitch

anyone found the wo6/33 and will I need a fish?

3:29 am

Haz1558

wo6/33 - a past tense of old fashioned 'accustomed to'

3:30 am

FMitch

Ah the magic of a "Haz clue" ;) thanks.

3:31 am

Haz1558

Glad it helped.

3:31 am

metaleather

I agree FMitch... they're always so eloquent

3:32 am

Haz1558

Thank you metal - I'm glad you like them too.

3:39 am

metaleather

You're most welcome Haz.

3:39 am

FMitch

I was going to change my icon to today's theme but coudn't find a good icon. It was going to be the infamous babblet lipstick tree which hasn't cropped up for ages now.

3:41 am

metaleather

I just picked the first thing that popped into my head... not representative of my area, just one of which I like the sound

3:42 am

Haz1558

I was just checking on the icon of the day - I'm pretty lazy these days about the icon, only changing when the fancy takes me, or on Fridays. I love clue icon Friday.

3:42 am

metaleather

on those Fridays, I'm never sure whether or not we're supposed to pick one clue and stick with it or keep changing them as our solved list grows...

3:43 am

FMitch

Me too Haz, icon clue Friday has so many possibilities

metal you can stick with one or change as many times as you like

3:44 am

Haz1558

You just do what you want, metal. It's fun, no matter how people approach it.

3:44 am

metaleather

I have severe brain fog... the caffeine's wearing thin.

3:45 am

Haz1558

Take a break if you can or want. Maybe the words will be clearer later.

3:45 am

FMitch

More caffine or time for bed?

3:45 am

Atalante

morning all. here for a few minutes. have severe everything fog after running round a field at top speed trying to get a pheasant away from Hobbit

3:46 am

metaleather

neither yet... not quite time for bed, but more caffeine will have me up and down to the restroom all morning instead of sleeping

3:46 am

metaleather

Hi Ata

3:46 am

metaleather

oh my goodness

3:46 am

metaleather

a pheasant?

3:46 am

FMitch

Oh heavens Ata, did you manage to save it?

3:46 am

Haz1558

Good morning Atalante. I bet Hobbit doesnt smell nearly as nice as my Spangle this morning. She was at the groomers yesterday.

3:47 am

metaleather

or is it nothing but fluff and feathers?

3:47 am

Atalante

yeah ... she likes chasing them ... and no, she smells horrid! all muddy and sweaty! and yes, pheasant lived to fight another day :)

3:48 am

Haz1558

We can all breathe easy. Except for Atalante who I can hear puffing and panting from here.

3:48 am

Atalante

awwww I bet Spangle looks gorgeous! You should put a post-trim pic up for general admiration :)

3:49 am

Haz1558

I'll maybe do that later - I have RDA this morning so I should really be getting on with heading out the door.....

3:49 am

Haz1558

By the way, did you finish at a decent hour last night, Atalante?

3:50 am

Atalante

yup! hurshy helped me with the last few :)

3:50 am

Haz1558

Good! You sounded weary.

3:50 am

Atalante

felt very very pleased with myself for not looking at a list at all!

3:51 am

metaleather

yayyy Ata

3:51 am

FMitch

Bye Haz, see you later and enjoy RDA

3:52 am

Atalante

3:52 am

3:53 am

Haz1558

Have a good day - see you all later.

3:53 am

Atalante

and yes Haz, one beuatiful Spangle pic requested for later :)

3:55 am

FMitch

Just incase anyone else is spending ages looking for the su5/14 - think animal skin.

3:56 am

Atalante

3:58 am

FMitch

Some words like that I am so blind to, earlier kicked myself for not spotting the white stuff that falls from the sky.

4:26 am

metaleather

I grab whatever I see first... then start working the letters with the fewest left

4:26 am

Odin

it is easy to stray Pap because your eyes want to move to words that pop up but I didn't miss the ed's or es's by working it left to right line by line today...it could be a fluke...

metaleather

it's a shame there's not something constructive you can do with it... to circumvent the recyclers I mean

5:28 am

Jacula

M3 - not totally wasted if you recycle it. Anything with an address on goes through the shredder in this house and then gets put in the rabbit & guinea pig hutches, after which is goes to green waste at the dump.

Jacula you are a woman after my own heart - my family (and work colleagues) hide their bins when I am around. I also have a wormery which is a great way to get rid of all the confidential post

5:38 am

Jacula

scarydeb - I used to have a wormery but, unfortunately, it attracted rats (who loved the fruit & veg peelings and, once they'd tasted kiwi and pineapple, virtually knocked on the back door to complain if they only found boring potato and carrot peelings).

6:06 am

Eva

First frost is supposed to hit tonight so time to bring in everything that canbe saved. Does anyone know if you can ripen red peppers indoors?

6:08 am

mrpresident

see ya later lynx

6:08 am

FranMag

i have no idea eva!

6:09 am

Eva

I may get away with covering them.Time to google frost questions

6:13 am

mrpresident

Eva, you can ripen them indoors if they have just begun to change colour

6:14 am

metaleather

can I help anyone with clues before I clear out for the day?

6:15 am

Eva

how mrp? Whole plants, roots and all, or fruit in paper bags?

6:15 am

CJ25

19 more to go!

6:16 am

mrpresident

the fruit needs to be about 4 inches long... pick it and put it in paper bags

6:16 am

metaleather

wtg CJ

6:16 am

Eva

great! There are about 12 that are that big.

6:17 am

beebee

EVA- You can eat most peppers when they're green, but they don't develop their full flavor until they turn colorâ€”whether it be red, orange, or yellow. Cut sweet peppers off the plant with a sharp knife or shears, leaving about a Â½-inch stem attached. Cayennes and some others usually pop off with ample stems attached.

Peppers will usually keep in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. Freeze or dry any excess fruit.

Harvest all usable fruit before the first hard frost. Or, if you have unripe fruit you don't want to waste, cut the entire plant and hang it indoors to allow the fruit to continue ripening.

6:18 am

Eva

so now, got any great recipes for green tomato preserves/chutneys,etc

6:18 am

Eva

beebee-that's wonderful advice! It's not clear how hard the frost will be tonight, but i souldn't be terrible. If I throw sheets over the stakes to cover theplants whould that be enough protection if it is in the upper 20's?

6:19 am

CJ25

the ti words are there only two that are from the 1st T down?

6:19 am

CJ25

I mean three

6:20 am

Eva

cj-there are 5 ti's

6:20 am

FranMag

yay! fireworks for me!

6:20 am

CJ25

Yes I know - but from the 1st T or any fro mthe 2nd T?

6:20 am

mrpresident

yay Fran!

6:20 am

metaleather

3 from the first

6:20 am

beebee

eva- what will the high be the next day? if it is warm in the days, then the sheet should be fine.

6:20 am

6:20 am

6:21 am

CJ25

6:21 am

Eva

yes-it's going to cloud back up and be in the 50's-60's the next day

6:21 am

beebee

eva- but if it's not getting warm in the days-you'd do better just to pick them

6:21 am

Eva

so good to be able to find expertise about just about everything right here!

6:22 am

FranMag

anyone want a quick clue before i go to bed?

6:22 am

Eva

8:15 am

Scrabbler

But I always freeze up when I see re, de, and an s

Scrabbler

I should just get over it

8:15 am

jackets

why do you people have to speak bad of the president? and don't even care who you offend

8:15 am

klaurel

OH! YES! With my son, the perpetrator has been suspended from riding the bus for 5 days and it has spread through the school that it was because she picked a fight with Stefan

8:16 am

raelite

oh really? that's great!

8:16 am

kc8501

klaurel: and if it goes the way it has for my son in the past, in 2 weeks he and the perp'll be best buds

8:17 am

Wolvie

8:17 am

klaurel

MrPresident - the 5th grade bully was running up and down the bus playing her trumpet, so my son told her (rather tactlessly) to shut up. And she hit him several times in the face and then punched him in the stomach

8:17 am

raelite

yay klaurel!!!

8:18 am

A tour bus driver is driving with a bus load of retired people when he is tapped on his shoulder by a little old lady. She offers him a handful of peanuts, which he gratefully munches.

After about 15 minutes, she taps him on his shoulder again and gives him another handful of peanuts. Again he eats hungrily. She repeats this gesture about five more times. When she is about to hand him yet another batch again he asks the little old lady,

"Why don't you eat the peanuts yourself?".
"We can't chew them because we've no teeth", she replied.
The puzzled driver asks,
"So why do you buy them then?"
The old lady replied, "Because we just love the chocolate around them."

Ed was in trouble. He forgot his wedding anniversary. His
wife was really pissed. She told him "Tomorrow
morning, I expect to find a gift in the driveway that goes
from 0 to 200 in 6 seconds
AND IT BETTER BE THERE."

The next morning Ed got up early and left for work. When
his wife woke up, she looked out the window and
sure enough there was a small box gift-wrapped in the
middle of the driveway.
Confused, the wife put on her robe and ran out to the driveway and
brought the box back in the house. She opened it and found
a brand new bathroom scale.

Funeral services for Ed have been scheduled for Friday......

A blonde was driving down the street in a sweat because she had an important meeting and couldn't find a parking place. Looking up toward heaven, she said, "Lord, take pity on me. If you find me a parking place I will go to Mass every Sunday for the rest of my life and give up sex and tequila."

Miraculously, a parking place appeared. She looked up again and said, "Never mind, I found one."

Little Johnny's kindergarten class was on a field trip to their local police station where they saw pictures, tacked to a bulletin board, of the 10 most wanted criminals. One of the youngsters pointed to a picture and asked if it really was the photo of a wanted person. "Yes," said the policeman. "The detectives want very badly to capture him." Little Johnny asked, "Why didn't you keep him when you took his picture?"

It was a small town and the patrolman was making his evening rounds.

As he was checking a used car lot, he came upon two little old ladies sitting n a used car. He stopped and asked them why they were sitting there in the car. Were they trying to steal it? "Heavens no, we bought it."

"Then why don't you drive it away." "We can't drive." "Then why did you buy it?"

"We were told that if we bought a car here we'd get screwed ...so we're

1:53 pm

good question, Jaime. as well as 'fuser'

1:53 pm

hurshy

because it is a noun, not a verb, and you can't make a noun past tense

1:53 pm

hurshy

now fuser, that makes no sense.

1:54 pm

Jaime

grammar schmammar. my favorite junior high subject bites me again.

1:54 pm

gailinrb

they just didn't put 'fuser' in their word list, i guess.

1:54 pm

1:55 pm

gailinrb

re5/18: re + opposite of lost.

Jaime

(past tense)

1:55 pm

hurshy

then again, if they put in MORE words, we wouldn't have any less of the weird ones to find that we already have, they wouldn't replace them, so i guess we should just be grateful.

evanonut

7:11 pm

Jacula

Yesterday, when I was in the grid clueing, my doorbell rang and it was a man selling fresh fish. That made me ROFLOL (which he must have thought was very odd). But, there I was on Babble and a guy comes to my door with fish...

7:12 pm

tinks

*sscchhlluuuuuurppp!*

7:12 pm

tinks

*aaaahhhhhhhh*

7:12 pm

lbdawger

7:12 pm

evanonut

7:12 pm

Judi

7:12 pm

tinks

7:13 pm

chj

was it the avon lady

7:13 pm

EasternBlue

tee hee hee!!!!

7:13 pm

Judi

No one would dare sell fish door to door here. My cats would havea feeding frenzy.

7:13 pm

lbdawger

EB was that hubby on the phone?

7:13 pm

evanonut

avon calling!

7:13 pm

brandyjack

as a matter of fact I do like it blue rare, but my wife is a nurse who is squeamish and can't stand the sight of me chowing down on something still mooing....

7:13 pm

EasternBlue

*glub, glub, glub* Ah!! Excellent drink, nut!!

7:13 pm

EasternBlue

lbd...yes...

7:13 pm

Jacula

chj - Yes, some home food deliverers do still exist. Not so many as there used to be.

7:14 pm

brandyjack

So i do it up like prime rib. lots of salt, garlic, and about 75 minutes on a low barbie...

7:14 pm

Jacula

BJ - LOL!

7:14 pm

lbdawger

blue rare...that's just barely getting the hide off the beasty

7:14 pm

evanonut

thanks eb, it's my specialty this year

7:14 pm

EasternBlue

he has 1 more thing to do & then he's calling back...it'll be my call of 'reprieve'....

7:14 pm

tinks

But if you don't want to cook - you can get just about anything cooked delivered

7:14 pm

evanonut

i'm a medium rare kind of girl myself

7:14 pm

Judi

Brandy - a squeamish nurse??? I think that's an oxymoron or something.

7:14 pm

lbdawger

and did you tell him Chinese

7:14 pm

chj

i love seeing the milkman in old movies delivering his wares in the early morning

7:15 pm

Jacula

tinks - My kids think I'm strange. My partner thinks I'm strange. Why should I be a wo7/44 if a stranger thinks I'm strange?;-)

7:15 pm

evanonut

remind you of your dad chj?

7:15 pm

brandyjack

I quite agree.

7:15 pm

EasternBlue

lbd - no...right about now, I'll agree to almost anything!!

7:16 pm

Jacula

Who are you agreeing with, BJ?

7:16 pm

tinks

I had a milkman up until a year or 2 ago - wan't using it all so had to cancel - delt really guilty as there's not that manya round anymore

7:17 pm

tinks

I wouldn't worry Jac - most people think I'm strange

7:17 pm

lbdawger

EB, careful what you agree too. although if hubs is buying it's negotiable! LOL

7:17 pm

Jacula

tinks - Have to admit I sacked my milkman 10-15 years ago. Got fed up with him trying to fiddle my bill. (At the time, there were 2 milkmen in the family and so I knew all the tricks.)

7:17 pm

Judi

Here in the states we have Girl Scouts delivering cookies (although that's getting to be rare to) and Schwann's (frozen food).

7:17 pm

evanonut

mmmmmm....chasing that snakebite with a bacardi silver

7:17 pm

brandyjack

almost anyone. but what about those of us who aren't strangers?

7:17 pm

tinks

I did have a few of those issues - but mostly when he was on holiday and someone was covering his round

7:18 pm

brandyjack

i love a straight line....

7:18 pm

Judi

*rim shot* for Brandy.

7:18 pm

Jacula

tinks - That's what I said... why be a wo7/44? You and me are obviously NOT wo8/60. <---- CLUES FOLKS

7:18 pm

lbdawger

is that strangers being plural of stranger meaning more than just a little strange?

7:19 pm

tinks

stangers find me strange sometimes...

7:19 pm

brandyjack

well Judi, I'm glad somebodies on the ball here....

7:19 pm

andy12489

ok guess I need help - fe 5/18 -- can't get two previous clues (Doug Adams, stinking water) - any more suggestions please?

7:19 pm

7:19 pm

tinks

lbdawger

Nut, when you move your mouse around the lower left hand corner, do you get any indication that something is there?

7:27 pm

evanonut

tried that mama, and i'm fairly certain that chj just wants me to reboot to be rid of me

7:27 pm

Judi

Hey, with men, we're lucky if they have three attributes: Opposable thumbs, a job and not a ridiculous amount of back hair.

7:27 pm

evanonut

7:29 pm

Jacula

nut - I think lbd's right!

7:29 pm

7:30 pm

lbdawger

neck hair can be shaved, and eewww about the nose and ear hairs

7:30 pm

Jacula

I used to hate hirsute men (other than hair in the more usual places, head included), but when I met my chap none of that seemed to matter any more... he's lovely and I love him to bits, hair and all.

7:30 pm

evanonut

i like to tell him that his happy trail never stops, straight up his chest and down his back

7:30 pm

aknitter

why do you suppose it disappears in some places and reappears in the oddest ones? what's with that

7:30 pm

Judi

No, nut - I'm merely speaking in grossly generalized terms.

7:31 pm

Jacula

aknitter - Are you talking about menopausal women now or about men? LOL

7:31 pm

evanonut

and mine is only thirty now, onlyl think of his hairy potential

metaleather

7:31 pm

EasternBlue

7:35 pm

Judi

Wax his nads? Ouch!

7:36 pm

lbdawger

7:36 pm

evanonut

jac, everyone knows that its the men with big glasses with yellowed lenses that have the criminal tendencies

7:37 pm

brandyjack

only by effete highbrows who call themselves 'Lord'....

7:37 pm

Jacula

Judi - have you never heard of the back, cr**k and sac wax? Some very funny cartoons on the net about that one!

7:37 pm

evanonut

just look at the pa megans law website for proof

7:37 pm

Judi

I tried Nads once. Dismal (and painful) failure.

7:37 pm

evanonut

nads doesNOT work

7:38 pm

tinks

What exactly is NADs?

7:38 pm

Jacula

Judi - you sadist! You never did? Did you? I joke about it, but I wouldn't...

7:38 pm

Jacula

tinks - testicles.

7:38 pm

lbdawger

never tried the stuff, just the name made me feel weird

7:38 pm

Jacula

Or rather testicular sac.

7:38 pm

tinks

I meant as a depilatory...

7:38 pm

evanonut

nads is also no heat wax hair removal

7:39 pm

tinks

Ah, can see that would be painful

7:39 pm

libarebel

hi, all-- quite the chat! :D

7:39 pm

Judi

I DID try it. Followed the directions to the letter. After the first pull, the rest of the tub went right into the trash bin.

7:39 pm

Jacula

This chatlog's getting out of hand! Does anyone need a clue for a grid word? (She asks in desperation, before they get zapped offline.)

Wow, I just joined in and reviewed the recent chat. I thought, "The words 'hair' or 'hirsute' must be in the grid." But, alas, they are not. And if I didn't get waxed I would have the "unibrow", thanks to my Italian DNA.

8:02 pm

I'm lucky, my wife snores almost as bad as me since she gained weight, but insomnia has never plagued me. My problem is getting 8 hours of sleep with about 5 minutes of rest. I get more rest in the hour that she is up putting on her warpaint and feathers (did I mention she's a nurse?) than I do all night.

8:04 pm

tinks

I agree eno - got down to 18 before I resorted to Lickety -t'was tough

8:04 pm

Natasha

i'm sure the snoring is a pain, but you should be really glad you don't have the apnea. it's really bad for your heart if you don't treat it.

8:04 pm

8:07 pm

brandyjack

most people only snore on their backs, I snore on both sides as well....... laying on my stomach is way too uncomfortable as well as suffocating.... A CPAC machine would be such a nice fix though. I have all of the symtoms of apnea except the most importatn one. My wife says I do stop breathing, tests say I don't. Although I have ditched 40 pounds over the last few years so that may have stopped the stopping part. Didn't seem to be a problem till I quit smoking and gained 60 pounds....

Sebastian's eyes grew big and he looked around the side of the wagon at the rapidly disappearing women.

9:23 pm

Jacula

Stid - is it on BabAnon or in the new place now? Reading the story?

9:25 pm

stidmama

Soon, they were driving past large furnaces, and the sound of hammers on iron drowned out all the other noises. The smell of the slag was intense.

9:25 pm

Enomis65

LOL thanks tinks!

9:29 pm

renfield

9:29 pm

helenkeller

ty, ty, ty

9:29 pm

stidmama

The roads were filthy -- the offal of the pack animals, the animals being led to slaughter and the debris of hundreds of days of traffic made passage difficult. Sebastian was glad that he was not walking.

9:29 pm

helenkeller

hey leslieann - long time, no see! how's it going, busy getting those wedding plans in action?

9:29 pm

chj

apparantly the tunnel was too big to fit through the internet..ill try again...but you did get the espresso didnt you?

9:30 pm

9:30 pm

stidmama

Already he felt lost. They had taken so many twists and turns coming in, sometimes seeming to nearly curve back to edge of the city before plunging again into the mad, fascinating crowds.

9:30 pm

LeslieAnn

yes ma'am! 5 weeks to go!

9:30 pm

9:33 pm

whitewitch1111

I know Min....I am a little bit late...

9:33 pm

helenkeller

grid is not so bad - got to 20 before i needed the list

9:33 pm

whitewitch1111

Hi helen...I miss BB

9:34 pm

LeslieAnn

i don't miss the jerks winning!

9:34 pm

whitewitch1111

and I had Erika and Boggie....

9:34 pm

whitewitch1111

I meant hate

9:34 pm

Minveryork

The grid isn't too bad.I did 60 before going to the list

9:35 pm

stidmama

The buildings were wide and tall. They cantilevered out, each level a little further toward the street than the one below, until the sky seemed to disappear. It was like driving through a very tall, dimly lit tunnel.

9:35 pm

helenkeller

i hate boog too - it sickens me he thinks he's some kind of winner, cause he's not

9:35 pm

whitewitch1111

lol I agree helen...

9:36 pm

helenkeller

lol leslie - hey, i guess you missed my earlier question on your wedding progress, how's it giong?

9:36 pm

LeslieAnn

although, hk and witch, i thought it was very interesting in the last episode that everyone picked on erika, like she was a big ho, when she was the one who actually liked him, and he was the big ho

9:36 pm

whitewitch1111

he is such a shame

9:36 pm

Enomis65

well off to bed now... after ER. Do you think Abby will lose the baby?

9:36 pm

grannyg

Clue for sn7/44 please? and ty

9:36 pm

LeslieAnn

no i answered! it is coming along, but still lots and lots to do

9:36 pm

whitewitch1111

right leslie

9:37 pm

stidmama

Suddenly, the cobbled streets gave way to a wooden wharf. Sebastian, who had never seen anything bigger than a rowboat, gasped at the size and number of ships and all the activity.

9:37 pm

Minveryork

Goodbye Enomis65! I will see you tomorrow in the log

9:37 pm

whitewitch1111

I wish I could apply for BB8

9:37 pm

Enomis65

lots of white stuff - more than usual granny g

9:37 pm

stidmama

Pancho grinned, "Impressive, isn't it? I remember my first time too! It was truly --"

9:37 pm

Minveryork

The sn 7/44 word is a superlative of sn 4/8 grannyg.

9:37 pm

stidmama

good night leslieann!

9:37 pm

grant

sn7- having more of the white stuff

9:38 pm

grannyg

9:38 pm

LeslieAnn

9:38 pm

Minveryork

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

9:39 pm

Minveryork

Does anyone have a clue for the de 6/21 word please

9:39 pm

helenkeller

okay leslie - so you're saying it's me then?!?!?! like i'm the one not paying attention ?!?!?! lol - i went to a wedding this weekend, know the bride well, she had it outdoors at the forest preserves & it was actually one of the best i've ever been too, she had this huge notebook, lol really worked hard, but it paid off very well!

9:39 pm

Minveryork

Sorry to interrupt again,but I am almost done w/grid

9:40 pm

tinks

stop that immediately Min!!! De****!!

9:40 pm

helenkeller

leslie - ITA about erika - smear campaign

9:40 pm

LeslieAnn

yeah, i have a big binder o' stuff, but that's not to say the apt. doesn't look like a wedding magazine exploded in here. lots of diy projects (invites, programs, centerpieces etc.)

9:40 pm

helenkeller

whitewitch - why can't you apply?

9:40 pm

stidmama

He cursed as a large barrel came swinging off a ship's hoist, the guide rope on the end trailing through the air. A loud splash announced the reason for the barrel.

9:40 pm

LeslieAnn

what is ita?

9:40 pm

Natasha

no 5/10 anyone?

9:41 pm

SamanthaJoy

pluralize the no 4/4

9:41 pm

tinks

White Witch - could you really cope with all those cameras?

9:41 pm

Mom

Minveryork - the de 6/21 I have is to cease

9:41 pm

stidmama

LOL LeslieAnn! I know it's going to be wonderful and beautiful to look back on. Have you scheduled any "downtime" for yourself in the last week?

9:41 pm

helenkeller

I Totally Agree

9:41 pm

whitewitch1111

helen - I am not a US citizen

9:42 pm

tinks

plural of the no4/4/ before Nat

9:42 pm

tinks

Nat dark file is a film no** and plural

9:42 pm

helenkeller

leslie - you making alot of the stuff yourself? my bride made these huge rosebud balls, it all sounded so weird but it was really very lovely

9:42 pm

grant

MYork-couln't be better. Thanks for asking. And you?

9:42 pm

Natasha

Doh! thanks

9:42 pm

helenkeller

WW - is that in the rules?

9:42 pm

LeslieAnn

oooh i thought i was missing something, hk. stid, not a whole lot, we're down a few folks at work so i can't take too much time off

9:43 pm

stidmama

The barrel slammed into the side of the wagon, pushing it sideways several feet and knocking the boards apart where it impacted.

9:43 pm

whitewitch1111

tinks - after few days you forget the cameras...and I don't care about them...don't forget the germans invented the nude beach...lol

9:43 pm

whitewitch1111

helen - yes it is in the rules....

9:43 pm

grant

Clue for fe5, anyone?

9:44 pm

LeslieAnn

yes, hk, i made everything for the invites, centerpieces, and am going to do programs, placecards etc.

9:44 pm

tinks

I would love to think I could do it - and think I could be entertaining, but just couldn't cope with 24/7 filming

9:44 pm

LeslieAnn

witch, maybe if you told them you liked nude beaches they would waive the us rule

9:44 pm

helenkeller

awww, that's too bad - no actually it's good, cause almost everyone on those shows ends up getting hated unless they are pure angels like jani, kaysar & hardy - who should have been an all-star before any of them ----- hardy=hot, hot, hot

9:44 pm

whitewitch1111

lol helen

9:44 pm

9:45 pm

LeslieAnn

yayyyy minver!

9:45 pm

helenkeller

leslie - you little control freak -who would've guessed, hahahaha!!

9:45 pm

stidmama

Sebastian was knocked to one side and fell out of the wagon. Pancho struggled to control the horse, and finally managed to calm it down several ships away.

9:45 pm

whitewitch1111

I agree helen

9:45 pm

tinks

YAY min!!!

9:45 pm

stidmama

Sebastian lost sight of him for a moment...

9:45 pm

Minveryork

I will shut-up now for the rest of storytime!Sorry stid

9:45 pm

jillibus

YAY Minveryork!!!

9:45 pm

stidmama

And was roughly grabbed by the largest man in the party.

9:46 pm

LeslieAnn

nah, i think the word is "thrifty," or, "cheapskate," whichever you prefer

9:46 pm

helenkeller

ROFL leslie - about the beaches - hahahaha- they would print up special shirts for ww - beach-ho

9:46 pm

stidmama

"Trying to get away, were you?" he rasped, reaching for his whip.

9:46 pm

stidmama

Min, don't shut up, I like your comments!

9:46 pm

helenkeller

wtg minver !!!!!!

9:46 pm

stidmama

YAY Min! *dancing for joy*

9:47 pm

stidmama

Sebastian turned pale.

9:47 pm

libarebel

yay, min!

9:47 pm

helenkeller

yep - control freaks always use excuses like that - typical, typical - you know i'm just giving you some grief - i like homemade much better cause it's more personal & unique!

9:47 pm

UFrunner

9:47 pm

helenkeller

hiya lib!!!

9:48 pm

tinks

C'mon Stid - am waitng for the next bit!

9:48 pm

whitewitch1111

Helen - I was thinking about getting in contact with Janey and invite her to St. Maarten....she mentioned in one of the shows that she would like to see St. Maarten....I am right here...house is big enough

9:48 pm

stidmama

"Where's Pancho?" The man walked ahead, pushing Sebastian along roughly in front. He reached the wagon and assessed the damage.

9:48 pm

Minveryork

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

9:48 pm

helenkeller

uf- pl people who fret

9:49 pm

stidmama

"Bah!" he spat on the ground. "Looks like we lost some of our stuff."

9:49 pm

LeslieAnn

all right, fine, i'm a control freak too ;)

9:49 pm

helenkeller

ww - that would be awesome - i bet she would be great to hang out with & she could probably really use some rest & relaxation away from prying eyes

9:49 pm

jillibus

sorry - watching ER from Winnipeg - back later

9:50 pm

helenkeller

leslie - aha !!! knew it! LOL

9:50 pm

whitewitch1111

well helen let me try....

9:50 pm

whitewitch1111

and I like the ww-beach idea lol

9:51 pm

stidmama

Pancho came around the other side of the wagon, looking grim. "That cursed Lady Mary!" he exclaimed, "They nearly got us last year, too! Why don't they replace that faulty hoist?"

9:51 pm

helenkeller

ww - yeah let us know how that goes, then you can introduce her to all her babble fans! - although, she is probably getting tons of offers from all kinds of people/places

9:51 pm

stidmama

The big man laughed, "Or the faulty crew!" He let go of Sebastian, who rubbed his bruised arm resentfully.

9:52 pm

libarebel

hi, helen!

9:52 pm

stidmama

"Here, boy! Start unloading the wagon."

9:52 pm

whitewitch1111

I will do that...

9:52 pm

Anniebrook

9:52 pm

whitewitch1111

9:52 pm

whitewitch1111

sorry

9:52 pm

LeslieAnn

hi annie!

9:52 pm

stidmama

Sebastian grabbed the first box and looked around. He couldn't see where he was to put anything.

9:53 pm

stidmama

Pancho turned him around and gave him a shove toward the closest boat.

9:53 pm

grant

tink- TYVM. Ufrunner- wo6 is an odd one, but take wo7 before it and substitute cross letter for its last two letters

9:53 pm

helenkeller

okay - catch you all later, maybe at the flip, bye now :)

9:54 pm

LeslieAnn

bye hk!

9:54 pm

Anniebrook

wo.6.30 Charles Dicken's "Little Do****" but change the first cons.

9:54 pm

Anniebrook

hi, LA

9:55 pm

stidmama

It was a sad little barque, with a rusty anchor chain and a flimsy-looking plank. The rigging was not frayed -- exactly -- but even Sebastian's inexperienced eye could tell it was not as well maintained as many of the others.

9:55 pm

stidmama

good night helen!

9:55 pm

stidmama

He gingerly started up the plank, which buckled and bowed at his every step.

9:55 pm

tinks

G'nite Helen

9:56 pm

stidmama

The men on board crowded around to watch him, and the men on the wharf and other ships nearby hooted and hollered.

9:56 pm

tinks

Anyone else for funny fingered clue?

9:57 pm

stidmama

His cheeks and ears burned, but he made his way on deck and stood, waiting for someone to tell him what to do next. A man in a funny hat growled, "Put it in the hatch boy, are you stoopid?"

9:58 pm

tinks

Of do Ipick up on Stid's story tomorrow

9:58 pm

tinks

later today infact

9:58 pm

stidmama

Sebastian tried to find a "hatch." But Pancho was right behind him. "Here, kid, this way," he said adding, "give the kid a break Red, he's never been on a boat before."

9:58 pm

LeslieAnn

not sure what you're asking, tinks?

9:59 pm

jillibus

ER over now - very powerful episode - supposed be here at fliptime but satellite dish enables time shifting so could watch earlier, phew. Stid I have a lot of catching up to do!

9:59 pm

tinks

Does anyone need any clues ?

9:59 pm

Natasha

last re 5/18, tinks?

9:59 pm

grannyg

I'm back. computer decided it didn't want babble so took me out. 1 word to go - clue for so7/28 please???

9:59 pm

stidmama

Pancho led Sebastian into the hold and showed him where to put the boxes. Then he took him on a quick tour belowdecks and gave him names for a few other places.

9:59 pm

jillibus

Now for a lte supper as usual!

10:00 pm

tinks

the most apologetic grannyg

10:00 pm

jillibus

so7/28 - more so than so618

10:00 pm

Anniebrook

so 7.28 male children and then add 2 vowels

10:00 pm

Anniebrook

and then make it comparative

10:01 pm

tinks

there are 2 so 7/28's

10:01 pm

stidmama

By evening, the supplies were stowed and the crew was assembled on deck. The gulls and ospreys overhead were calling the dinner hour as Sebastian was given the choice: stay and be part of the crew or leave and try to make his way home.

10:02 pm

Natasha

re 5/18 anyone?

10:02 pm

grannyg

Yeah, I need the other one - not the male children

10:02 pm

stidmama

The choice sounded hollow. He doubted he could find his way out of the city, let alone home without help. He knew no one... He quickly signed his name in the book and stood back.

10:02 pm

tinks

My clue below was the other

10:03 pm

stidmama

His adventure was about to begin.

10:03 pm

tinks

I'll try an alternative if you need

10:03 pm

Anniebrook

re 5/18--to come in first again

10:03 pm

10:25 pm

jaianniah

Like a nuclear blast zone....My house is STILL not repaired due to red tape and lack of contractors on the right side who aren't all booked....Lost a major bridge between Biloxi and Ocean Springs, causing all sorts of traffic jams six miles from my house....yuk, yuk, yuk!

10:26 pm

Natasha

10:26 pm

natasha, one who frets

LeslieAnn

someone who is anxious, natasha

10:27 pm

Natasha

I have that one, thanks. I think there is supposed to be one before that.

10:27 pm

Natasha

um, never mind. can't see straight. I didn't have it, but thought I did.

10:27 pm

FranMag

natasha, there is one after the plural of that one, a wo7/44, wo7/44 a lot

10:28 pm

pida 1

Best of luck with the repairs, Jai. I have a friend in Homestead, that just finally got the rest of her place repaired, and they didn't get hit anywhere near as bad as you did. Had problems with the insurance companies paying for repairs.

10:28 pm

LeslieAnn

i blame moose and squirrel, natasha

10:28 pm

jaianniah

Hi stid

10:31 pm

stidmama

:-)

10:31 pm

stidmama

oh no, Jai! not more in the saga of the blue tarp roof?

10:31 pm

pida 1

Jai, I hope you haven't been getting the rain we've had lately. We got 2 1/2 inches Tues night. But better rain the hurricanes.

10:31 pm

jaianniah

I have a blue roof....

10:32 pm

Natasha

so is the last wo6 as painfully obvious as the last clue I asked for?

10:32 pm

katrynwise

my mom and God made a deal.. if he would get her thru last hurr season she'd sell the house b4 this one.. so far she hasn't kept her end of the deal... but we cross our fingers every day

10:32 pm

jaianniah

Oh, yes, the ceilings are falling in now....the kitchen went a week ago...

10:32 pm

pida 1

I'm in the Tampa Bay area, now, but I lived in Homestead for 30 years.

10:33 pm

katrynwise

I'm so sorry... I lived there for Andrew and lost everything. It is soooo frustrating. Jai - I can't imagine...

10:33 pm

FranMag

no natasha, it's a weird one, same first 5 letters, but add another consonant at the end

10:33 pm

jaianniah

No- it starts out as the same, but ends with a short, two letter wi=ord that means "That thing"

10:33 pm

pida 1

Jai, didn't you get one of the "FEMA" trailers, they were bragging about on the news?

10:33 pm

Natasha

ok, I have no clue what that means. out comes the dictionary. and thank you.

10:34 pm

jaianniah

ty all for your caring and understanding this past year...Babble has made me laugh thru it all...

10:52 pm

Natasha

I may not be the best at this game yet, but I'm already addicted

10:52 pm

LeslieAnn

hmmm, sounds like a plan... the new hubby can fix all your computer problems

10:52 pm

Natasha

Fran, I don't think that would make for a very good honeymoon!

10:52 pm

FranMag

natasha, it gets easier with time, as your vocabulary fills with useless babble words!

10:53 pm

FranMag

you mean by leaving me a new one? :-)

10:53 pm

LeslieAnn

hmmm, i will have to see about that

10:54 pm

Natasha

LA, we have some of the same fave websites.

10:54 pm

LeslieAnn

oh really? i start getting the shakes if i don't visit those at least once a day

10:55 pm

Natasha

I go to gofugyourself daily, the others I check in on less regularly. I have too many knitting sites I visit daily

10:55 pm

FranMag

those are cool sites LA, i have an RSS feed for cuteoverload, but i haven't looked at my news reader for a while.

10:55 pm

Natasha

which is why I never actually finish knitting anything!

10:56 pm

LeslieAnn

haha, i even read their stuff for the magazine during fashion week, good but not as entertaining as the regular blog

10:56 pm

FranMag

the fug girls are quite famous in the blog world

10:57 pm

Natasha

yeah, I read it too and have to agree. They lost a lot of their edge for fashion week.

10:57 pm

LeslieAnn

i think they won a best writing award bloggy, or webby, or whatever those awards are... they deserve it, their writing is genius

10:58 pm

FranMag

i think fugly is used by a lot of people now also

10:59 pm

LeslieAnn

10:59 pm

Natasha

11:00 pm

LeslieAnn

Natasha

11:02 pm

LeslieAnn

11:03 pm

Natasha

which no 6/18 or no6/30?

11:03 pm

FranMag

LA, more inquisitive

11:03 pm

LeslieAnn

11:03 pm

FranMag

the other one is sort of a compound word, no + sage (as in advice)

11:03 pm

LeslieAnn

(thanks fran)

11:04 pm

LeslieAnn

11:24 pm

FranMag

a black oak?

11:24 pm

FranMag

oh, white oak, just looked at your profile jilli.

11:28 pm

jillibus

A Garry Oak, Fran - almost sacred around here! It has an endangered ecosystem full of beautiful wild flowers, like the blue camas lily and so on. HUmans are blamed for its endangerment, but around my house it's the deer who are devastating the wild flowers and eating the acorns.

11:29 pm

jillibus
