Douglas

Hello everyone...

3:34 am

lynxxx

Good evening Douglas

3:34 am

Haz1558

Good morning Douglas. It's either an early start or a late bedtime for you.

3:37 am

Douglas

I'm not really sure what it is...

3:38 am

Haz1558

Best not to think about it too much, then. You'll need all your energy for the grid.

3:38 am

Douglas

But I'm glad there are some Babblers about...

3:40 am

Haz1558

This is the time when the British contingent start to sign on, the insomniac Americans finally go to bed and the Australians enjoy their evening wind-down.

3:40 am

hydra

Morning all. The grid seems a bit kinky today, a touch of S&M!

3:41 am

Douglas

Your eyes cast a spell that bewitches,
The last time I needed twenty stitches,
To sew up the gash that you made with your lash
As we dance to the masochism tango!

3:42 am

Haz1558

Douglas used a woooord.

3:42 am

Frances

Tom Lehrer.........Good morning all

3:43 am

Haz1558

Good morning Frances.

3:43 am

Frances

Morning Haz......quietly babbling away here.

3:43 am

Douglas

I have a confession to make...about 32 years ago, I sang that song in front of a couple hundred of my peers...

3:44 am

Haz1558

But you were young then, and lacking in judgement.

3:44 am

Frances

How about 'Poisoning pidgeons in the Park'

3:44 am

Douglas

True...

3:45 am

hydra

I dimly remember that, Douglas. Did 'I drank champagne from you shoe, tralala, I was drunk by the time I was through,' come from that song?

3:46 am

Frances

I used to love Tom Lehrer - so irreverent!

3:46 am

Douglas

Spring is here, as a budding is here,
Life is skittles and life is beer,
I think the lovliest time of the year is the spring
I do, Don't you? Course you do!

3:46 am

Haz1558

You'd have to be awfully picky about whose shoe you would be prepared to drink champagne from.

3:47 am

Douglas

The song you refer to hydra, is called "The Wiener Schnitzel Waltz"

3:47 am

Douglas

Which was the last song of the second side of "Songs by Tom Lehrer."

3:48 am

hydra

Oh yes, of course! How about the cynical May and September one? Whifch album was that on? And Poisoning the Pigeons in the Park? The animal rights people would lynch him for that these days!

3:50 am

Douglas

"When You Are Old And Gray" is on the same album as "The Wiener Schnitzel Waltz," and "Poisoning Pigeons in the Park" is on the album "More by Tom Lehrer"

3:50 am

hydra

What a good memory you have. Who painted your icon? It's an interesting portrait.

3:51 am

Douglas

Go to http://www.google.com/musica?aid=eyEIo
2KMPVI&sa=X&oi=music&ct=result, and you will find the 5 Tom Lehrer albums...

3:52 am

hydra

Thanks, I will, post-Babble.

3:53 am

Douglas

I actually don't know who painted it...I only know it is supposed to be a picture of Rumi, back from the day when the theme was poets...

3:54 am

hydra

Now I'm admitting my ignorance. Who is Rumi?

3:55 am

Frances

Just had to go and look through my records. I can only find 'An Evening with Tom Lehrer' and 'Tom Lehrer Revisited'

3:55 am

Douglas

Persian/Turkish poet of the 13th century. Perhaps you've heard of a whirling dervish? He was the guy who got the dervishes whirling in the first place...

3:56 am

hydra

Wow. I went to see some genuine whirling dervishes at the Festival Hall in London. Though I've been many times to Turkey, I never saw any there.

3:58 am

Atalante

ooooo Rumi's poetry is *wonderful*

3:59 am

Haz1558

Got to 163 words. It's time for a break and a whirlwind tidy up.

Jacula

Good Lord! I've just signed in and almost O/D'd on E's! For those who like a grid with vowels, this one has them in abundance... BBL.

5:16 am

Haz1558

Bye Jacula.

5:26 am

FranMag

hi everybody!

5:27 am

FranMag

first time in here tonight, how is the grid so far?

5:27 am

Haz1558

Hello FranMag!

5:27 am

FranMag

hi haz!

5:29 am

Haz1558

It's a nice grid today - just a few left to find.

5:30 am

FranMag

not that it matters either way! i would do the grid no matter what.

5:31 am

Haz1558

I know what you mean, but some grids are more satisfying than others. This one has a nice mix of the familiar and the more unusual.

5:32 am

FranMag

that's good, good length too.

5:33 am

Haz1558

Yesterday's was a bit of a slog towards the end. I had limited time so just had to keep the head down and keep going.

5:34 am

Haz1558

However, this one is done now, so I should really get on with some other stuff. Happy hunting!

5:34 am

FranMag

yay haz! bye!

Hi Andree - was just hunting the last few and didn't see your post :)

6:03 am

Atalante

why on earth is huss not in the dictionary?

6:05 am

Andree

I expect hussy probably is

6:05 am

allfleshisgrass

must be an unearthly reason?

6:05 am

hi atalante!

6:05 am

Atalante

must be. poor little unaccepted dogfish

hi afig!

Wolvie

off to update my icon brb

6:06 am

Andree

hi Wolvie

6:06 am

FranMag

ata, today's theme was your suggestion, where's your pre-raphaelite art?

6:06 am

Atalante

OOOOOOOO! is it today? *runs to find somthing*

6:07 am

FranMag

hi arb, don't have it yet

6:07 am

Wolvie

would that be the rock, ARB? first word I found whilst looking for an icon

6:07 am

Bloodaxe

hello. such dedicated babblers we are!

6:07 am

Wolvie

hi blood!

6:08 am

FranMag

thanks wolvie!

6:08 am

Andree

hi Blood

6:08 am

FranMag

hi bloodaxe!

6:08 am

Bloodaxe

today's grid is a little less intimidating after yesterdays.

6:08 am

ARB

Wolvie, what rock?

6:08 am

Wolvie

testing new icon...

6:09 am

Atalante

ok, now I have something pre-Raph - Rossetti's "Beata Beatrix", my fave pre-Raph painting for many reasons

6:09 am

FranMag

cool wolvie!

6:09 am

Wolvie

a hollow concretionary or nodular stone often lined with crystals, is the def ARB

6:09 am

FranMag

very nice ata!

6:09 am

Atalante

and yay for Waterhouse, Fran!

6:09 am

inge

good heavens, 99 words in 20 minutes! Hope it stays easy like that

6:10 am

Wolvie

ge plus O**, as in a song to, sort of

6:10 am

inge

feer

6:10 am

ARB

aha thank you -- you made me look in the opposite direction than I had been doing. FIREWORKS

6:10 am

Wolvie

congrats!!

6:10 am

Wolvie

was that the word??

6:10 am

ARB

twas, wolfie. thanks

6:11 am

FranMag

i wasn't familiar with these artists ata, but when i did my search i was more drawn to waterhouse.

6:11 am

Wolvie

cool

6:11 am

FranMag

yay arb!!!!

6:11 am

ARB

wolvie, sorry.

6:11 am

Wolvie

why so, ARB??

6:11 am

Wolvie

oh - I see -typo. No worries

6:12 am

Atalante

Waterhouse's work is *incredibly* beautiful. Many other PR artists aren't quite so classically inclined and more of a "specicialised" taste

6:12 am

FranMag

that must have been it ata!

6:13 am

Atalante

I could look at Waterhouse painting for ever and a day I think :)

6:14 am

FranMag

thanks for picking a great theme ata!

6:15 am

Atalante

I'm glad you like it! I'm just randomly imposing my art tastes on everyone :)

6:16 am

FranMag

well, it never hurts to learn or find something new!

6:16 am

Atalante

too right!

6:17 am

FranMag

whew, i'm glad the Ps were PHs and not PSs!

6:18 am

Wolvie

you made me look at that box, fran, thanks - got those 2

6:19 am

Andree

haven't made a start on those yet Fran

6:19 am

CJ25

nice Qu words :-o

6:19 am

CJ25

hi everyone :D

6:19 am

ARB

Actually, there aren't many wierd words today.

6:19 am

FranMag

hi cj!

6:19 am

Andree

hi cj

6:19 am

Wolvie

hi CJ

6:19 am

CJ25

Hey

6:19 am

FranMag

yw wolvie!

6:20 am

CJ25

ARB the Qu words arent 'normal'

6:20 am

FranMag

how long are they cj?

6:21 am

FranMag

my phantom of the night is squish

6:21 am

CJ25

5 and 7 letters

6:21 am

ARB

Outside of the Eng;ish speaking world, q is used, often even without a u. I'm very used to seeing transliterated words from Arabic and Hebrew which use the q for a gutteral K sound.

6:21 am

Wolvie

I wanted squire, fran. :-)

6:22 am

FranMag

and quisp didn't work either!

6:22 am

Wolvie

well, ARB - I am not - looks like these are going to be a tough thing for me to hunt down, should be fun. :-)

6:22 am

FranMag

thanks cj!

6:23 am

CJ25

is quisp a posh word for crisp? ;-)

6:23 am

FranMag

it was a cereal brand that didn't quite take off i think

6:23 am

ARB

The qu 5/18 has only a single vowel, the u. The qu 7/44 is the plural (by "normal plural rules).

6:23 am

FranMag

but i like your definition for sure!

6:24 am

Atalante

rhymes with a well-known babbler

6:24 am

Wolvie

thanks, ARB! got the 5, now on to the 7

6:24 am

FranMag

thanks arb and ata, got them!

6:25 am

Eva

thanks arb!

6:25 am

Wolvie

and the 7. thanks!

6:25 am

FranMag

i'm going to remember those for scrabble!

6:25 am

faeriekae

Good Day Babblers I just woke up in my own bed for the first time in 6 weeks and I feel Great!!!!

6:25 am

Atalante

another good one for scrabble is the same word but replace the U with an I

6:25 am

ARB

Check that they are in your scrabble dictionary, Fran.

6:25 am

FranMag

hi kae!

6:26 am

FranMag

i will arb! thanks

6:26 am

HI Wolvie :)

6:27 am

CJ25

moving to your new home :-)

6:27 am

faeriekae

YES

6:27 am

ARB

Great to travel, Faeriekae, and even better to come back to your own bed. We've been gone most of the summer, too, and it was a real pleasure to crawl into my own bed.

6:28 am

faeriekae

ARB - no truer words have ever been spoken

6:28 am

Andree

brb

6:29 am

faeriekae

I have to finish packing everything here in Michigan and then it's off to Kentucky to my new house where my family is :)

6:30 am

Wolvie

very cool faerie - hope the move is smooth

6:31 am

Bloodaxe

do you have to finish a puzzle for it to count in your rankings?

6:31 am

ARB

Lots of work. I only envy the opportunity to go through everything and get rid of unneeded/excess stuff

6:31 am

CJ25

I moved out of my parents over a year ago - Im still sorting out post to be re-directed.

6:31 am

Wolvie

Yes, blood - I beleive you do - did you finish yesterday?

6:31 am

FranMag

bloodaxe, once you start a puzzle it affects your ranking.

6:32 am

ch1212

morning --- first time to Babble in about 2 weeks due to our move from Idaho to Massachusetts. fairiekae, I feel for you! We're still getting unpacked

6:32 am

Bloodaxe

dang. No. I quit with 76 words left. I just couldn't take it anymore. I had worked on it for 16 hours.

6:32 am

Wolvie

hi ch1212 - nice to see you back! Where 'bouts in Massa are you? I lived in Uxbridge for quite awhile

6:33 am

Wolvie

oh my God, blood - wow. I never got back. stayed at my 100 words. le sigh

6:33 am

CJ25

Ive changed my icon to fit in so to speak

6:33 am

FranMag

bloodaxe, they'll get easier as you play more!

6:33 am

ch1212

We're in Athol, a relatively small rural area that is ladden with traffic :)

6:33 am

Wolvie

I know where that it, Ch - work take you there?

6:33 am

FranMag

cool cj!

6:34 am

Bloodaxe

i sure hope you're right fran. Yesterday I felt like the end of finals week.

6:34 am

ARB

Although yesterday's was particularly long and tedious.

6:34 am

ch1212

Yes, job related move. The leaves are just beginning to change and we think it's glorious here!

6:34 am

FranMag

yes, yesterday's wasn't particularly hard, just really long!!

6:34 am

ch1212

Good to be back with Babble! I've missed you all, and of course the game. Now I must go update my icon

6:35 am

Wolvie

yep - the timing of such a large one was bad for me - I ususally have folks over on Sundays during football season, so I couldn't play. :-(

6:35 am

Wolvie

it was going quickly for the time I was here, tho.

6:35 am

Bloodaxe

what team do you watch wolvie?

6:35 am

Jacula

Hi again. I've typed all my on paper words in and now have 66 to find.

6:36 am

FranMag

if you're concerned about rankings, then it's better to skip a puzzle that you don't think you'll finish, like wolvie did.

6:36 am

FranMag

hi jac!!

6:36 am

Wolvie

Patriots. and Lions. Not a good day for me. :-)

6:36 am

Bloodaxe

i'm sorry.
I hear the redskins were doing well?

6:36 am

Wolvie

Oh - I didn't skip it fran, I just didn't finish. I saved it for later, tho. :-)

6:37 am

Wolvie

not really, LOL - although they did win yesterday

6:37 am

faeriekae

Sorry everyone I just got booted off my computer due to "updates" LOL

6:37 am

Wolvie

Hi jac!

6:37 am

faeriekae

Hi Jacs :)

6:37 am

FranMag

hey jac! we both picked waterhouse! i really like your choice!

6:37 am

Wolvie

hello again, faerie

6:38 am

ch1212

hi again, faeriekae -- I was saying earlier I'm back on Babble after 2 weeks of moving across the U.S., so I feel for you with your move! Good luck with it

6:38 am

FranMag

nice icon ch!

6:38 am

faeriekae

Ch - Thank you and glad to hear you got moved :)

6:38 am

Jacula

Fran - Waterhouse is one of my favourites - picking the painting I liked the most was the difficulty. I have 'The Mermaid' (copy, not original!) in my hall. I chose 'The Soul of The Rose' for the icon though.

6:39 am

inge

ch1212, you have landed in Massachusetts!!!!

6:39 am

FranMag

it's beautiful jac!

6:39 am

faeriekae

Hi Inge nice to see you :)

6:39 am

ch1212

I like yours, franmag, though I just changed mine so not sure if you mean the Star Trek stamp or the pre-raphael ... yes inge, we are in beautiful Massachusetts, where the leaves are glorious and the traffic is not

6:39 am

Jacula

Fran - There's another of his painting called 'Good Neighbours' that I particularly like but it's a little wide to work as an icon.

6:40 am

inge

yea, I have been lurking since 7 am, good grid today

6:40 am

Wolvie

come out and play, inge. :-)

6:40 am

inge

faerie, let me know when you can receive plants

6:40 am

FranMag

6:40 am

FranMag

ch, i can see your pre-raphaelite icon

6:41 am

Scrabbler

Good morning everyone. How is the grid today?

6:41 am

FranMag

6:42 am

OK Faerie, my e mail is in my profile

6:44 am

faeriekae

Thanks Inge :)

6:45 am

Odin

Thanks Scrabbler...been quite some time since I have had any time off..acquisitions have a way of making things better and worse.

6:45 am

FranMag

thanks for the link jac, that is a great painting!

6:45 am

inge

and I lam not withi it yet Fran, wait till my husband comes upstairs and helps find a picture

6:45 am

faeriekae

brb

6:45 am

Jacula

y/w, Fran. Many of his other paintings are on that site. It's a feat for the eyes.

6:45 am

FranMag

i'll watch for it inge, it's a fun theme to search for.

6:46 am

pida 1

Good morning everyone. Is the grid easier today. At least there are fewer words, and I already found the qu's

6:46 am

Jacula

*feast, not feat!

6:46 am

Jacula

(Mind you, I am about to get vari-focals. LOL!)

6:47 am

FranMag

just added the link to my favorites to go look at it later, thanks jac!

6:47 am

Atalante

gosh everyone's waterhouse-d today!

6:47 am

Scrabbler

OK, I can't get the 2 Q's. I look for small victories, like greying out boxes, but what are those Q's? I am looking on the dictionary list on lickety's page.

6:47 am

ch1212

wonderful icons today!

6:48 am

Jacula

Scrabbler - the q's rhyme with a Babbler who recently did a tour of Europe.

6:48 am

Haz1558

q plus an anagram of a word meaning to hurry. No need to use that i!

6:48 am

FranMag

scrabbler, the clue that got it for me was, the only vowel in it is the U.

6:48 am

Wolvie

ARB clued them, scarbbler - the only vowel is the u, and it has a similarity to a babbler's name

6:48 am

Jacula

Hi again, Haz.

6:48 am

Wolvie

hi haz!

6:48 am

Haz1558

And then plural for the seven.

6:48 am

FranMag

5 and 7 letters scrabbler

6:49 am

FranMag

haz, you're back!

6:49 am

ch1212

great clue, jacs

6:49 am

Haz1558

Hi Jacula, Fran etc. I'm not really back. You're all having hallucinations. I'm really cleaning.

6:49 am

Atalante

and I'm really working

6:50 am

Jacula

Haz - like I'm really vacuuming.;)

6:50 am

FranMag

sounds like une an her sleep-babbling the other night

6:50 am

Haz1558

See! I'm not the only one.

6:50 am

Jacula

Haz - if we're hallucinating it must be due to all those E's.

6:50 am

FranMag

and i really should be asleep!!

6:50 am

Wolvie

hee, jac - true

6:51 am

FranMag

see you all later or tomorrow! night!

6:51 am

Scrabbler

I found them on the list of 5 letter words--I never heard of those words. TY for hints

6:51 am

Haz1558

You're right - far too many of them!

6:51 am

Jacula

Sleep well, Fran.

6:51 am

Wolvie

bye Fran!

6:51 am

Atalante

night fran!

6:51 am

6:52 am

Andree

6:52 am

Jacula

Haz - just run your duster over my monitor before you go. It might help me see more words...

6:53 am

Wolvie

hi Andree!

6:53 am

Atalante

gosh, the log really is looking *pretty* today!

6:53 am

Andree

6:57 am

Wolvie

Andree - haven't really started the re's yet - the only 6/27 I have is to fe** again.

6:57 am

ch1212

I need to note that as we travelled across the many states (it took a week with all our stuff in two vehicles) I marvelled at how many babblers I could place --- in Wyoming, Nebraska, Illinois, Iowa, Ohio, Indiana, New York, to Massachusetts. Even though we were just passing through it was nice to "know" people in each state!

6:58 am

faeriekae

ch that is so nice

6:58 am

Scrabbler

You passed me in western NY state!

6:58 am

Wolvie

cool, ch - did you meet any of them?

6:59 am

Scrabbler

I'll be in Burlington, Vt next week--anybody there?

6:59 am

ch1212

no, we didn't stop long anywhere -- but I thought about the different Babblers whose screen names I know who live in those states :)

6:59 am

Andree

thx Wolvie

6:59 am

ch1212

Scrabbler we spent the night outside of Buffalo in Batavia

7:00 am

Wolvie

was that it Andree? cool! :-)

7:00 am

Scrabbler

I am 35 mi south of Buffalo, and Batavia is about 30 mi east, halfway between Bflo and Rochester.

7:01 am

faeriekae

hello Evan :)

7:01 am

ch1212

I wondered, Scrabbler -- your name (and icon since I'm visual) flashed through my mind as we entered the state

7:02 am

Andree

yes Wolvie, its the only 6/27 in re's

7:02 am

Wolvie

nice to know, Andree - thanks!

7:02 am

Scrabbler

I knew that I played Babble better last week, like I had help! LOL

10:05 am

mkl

I knew there were some easy words there. They were just hiding from me.

12:46 pm

hurshy

just take my name, remove h and y, add q. it's just funny cause only the one vowel.

12:46 pm

sallyds

Me too. Dictionary rejects the only word I can find in the genuine dictionary.

12:46 pm

EspritdJean

but what's the OTHER q?

12:47 pm

hurshy

plural

12:47 pm

TeaNCrackers

plural

12:47 pm

FMitch

Jonsie - try the unbelievable - qu + 3 consonants, The other qis the pl of the 5

12:47 pm

sallyds

How can it have only one vowel when you can't get out of that corner with less than 2?

12:47 pm

EspritdJean

well I'll be . . . .

12:47 pm

EspritdJean

ty

sally this is babble so type the letters rather than think logically

12:49 pm

Haz1558

It's akin to the willing suspension of disbelief. Hello FMitch!

12:49 pm

sallyds

That u is a vowel no matter how you type it. ;)

12:50 pm

FMitch

Hey Haz, Thunder and rain is abounding at the mo.

12:50 pm

Haz1558

We've had REALLY heavy rain as well.

12:50 pm

pida 1

Sally, and remember that the qu counts as 2 tiles, so you just have to add 3 consonants

12:51 pm

Atalante

exactly, sally. the word has 1 vowel - the u :)

12:51 pm

majmom

fe 7/40 and the last fe 4/7

12:51 pm

pida 1

fe** french for father or priest

Does anyone have a relatively easy (but not a gimme) clue for the EG 7?

2:14 pm

I just adore Dante Rossetti's work. I could sit in front of his paintings all day long ... such an interesting man as well

2:14 pm

Bash

Stid, think humble...

2:14 pm

Inge2

so6/21?

2:14 pm

2:16 pm

stidmama

LOL Douglas! If only it could stand up in court!

2:16 pm

Atalante

Stid!!!! Wah! I don't think that's true at all. His really famous pics are, but there is a *lot* that people don't see and don't know

oh. I wish I retained more of my studies from a few years ago. The cycles of jewish observances are really logical in how they flow from one to another. And they make seasonal sense, too.

the second last ha6/21 any hints?

2:39 pm

5:07 pm

chj

go helen go

5:07 pm

Andree

still need last sh5/12 and 5/18 please

5:08 pm

helenkeller

just a little question here - i'm watching the news & i'm learning that it seems to be common practice (at least at this one dental clinic) to anethetize young patients for procdures, including cleaning - does anyone else find this outrageous?

5:08 pm

stidmama

last sh 5/12 is the jewish place where the dead go. often transcribed as "hell"

5:08 pm

cybernan

heli isn't in the grid *puzzled*

5:08 pm

saphyre

hi everyone - back for my last 60

5:08 pm

stidmama

the 5/18 is a bundle of something a sh*** of paper?

5:08 pm

hi saphyre!

5:08 pm

stidmama

different end vowel Nan

5:08 pm

cybernan

found them -- thanks

5:09 pm

helenkeller

tx chj - i never pictured her like this myself - don't know what i thought she looked like, but not this :)

5:09 pm

magzel

need the 2 so 5/10 that are tofgether please

5:09 pm

stidmama

helen, some children are very afraid of dentists and the only way to make them comfortable enough to work on them is to sedate them. Others, like one of my children, have problems with muscle control and some sedation can keep them from chewing or tongue thrusting involuntarily.

5:10 pm

Andree

have those, must be before that

5:10 pm

chj

maybe my painting can go out with your painting

5:10 pm

stidmama

magzel: bottom of shoe + vowel; then plural bottom of shoes

5:11 pm

helenkeller

hmmm - well, there's sedation & then there's sedation - but there are so many dangers associated with putting someone under, it seems crazy to me -

5:11 pm

stidmama

Andree -- the place you put knickknacks and books? on a sh***?

5:11 pm

Andree

must be first sh5/18 please

5:11 pm

helenkeller

& no reason for kids to fear dentists -seems to me some behavioral desensitization makes more sense than putting kids under as a matter of practice

5:11 pm

Andree

thx stid

5:12 pm

Andree

3 left, last le word 6/18 please

5:12 pm

stidmama

yes, and in general I wouldn't think it's a good idea, but I think that when the choice is between good dental care or otherwise... (and some kids fear dentists because they have little reason to trust any adult -- but that's another topic)

5:12 pm

helenkeller

but that's why it was on the news, seems this one girl is not coming out of the anesthetic after 2-3 days - not sure

5:13 pm

stidmama

last le word is the person who rents; the one who takes out the le 5 on a place

5:13 pm

helenkeller

yeah stid - i see your point about the ones who can't trust any adult

5:13 pm

stidmama

oh man! that's really bad -- sounds like she had an unexpected reaction?

5:14 pm

cybernan

strike up the band! *dances over the grey tiles*

5:14 pm

helenkeller

yeah - other patients are saying the dentist is a good guys & well credentialed - i just didn't realize it was so common

5:14 pm

stidmama

helen, have you had time to check the babblestory.com website? How do you think the colors/fonts are? I have a few minutes and was going to try tweaking it.

5:15 pm

stidmama

YAY NAN!!!! *joins in dance and tosses confetti*

5:15 pm

helenkeller

i've seen my dentist have the adult lay down in the chair & then have the kid lay on top of the adult with the adult hugging the child - it seemed nice - i was sooooooo tempted to say - OUUUUUUCH, but i restrained my self, hahaha

5:15 pm

stidmama

Of course, you can't know how everyone will react to any medication (like the time I hallucinated on a very common muscle relaxant).

5:15 pm

stidmama

LOL helen!

5:16 pm

cybernan

^5 stid -- btw -- sera was the one who introduced me to babble about a year ago now.

5:16 pm

metaleather

yayyy nan!

5:16 pm

stidmama

oh! I thought it went the other way 'round! *grin* Bet she's really busy between kids and work!

5:16 pm

cybernan

thanks, metal

5:17 pm

cybernan

I should say!

5:17 pm

Andree

thx stid, get the clue but no luck with word, still need le6/18

5:17 pm

helenkeller

stid - LOL - sounds like that muscle relaxent targeted your brain! - sorry to say, i have not been following the story - too much guilt over this 'to-read' pile of stuff i have here next to the bed

5:18 pm

stidmama

Andree, try: opposite of "more" + either/**

5:18 pm

cybernan

She teaches comp. sci. and math at a university in Alberta

5:19 pm

Andree

thx stid

5:19 pm

stidmama

I know the reading guilt. I am trying to get through "sailing the wine-dark sea" about the origins and contributions of greek civilization... keep getting distracted by bad editing (grammatical and stylistic problems)
