Ankhorite

Hup, got it... but it should be a blue tie! :) To prevent confusion with AIDS, to be similar to the plain blue ribbons for prostate cancer. Pink is for breast; I found one image that combines the blue & pink ribbon to be a "family awareness" pin: "test together, live together."

12:08 am

Yes, just like Boggle. Be careful where you are typing; when you're new, it's easy to type all your words up here in the chat, and if you do, we throw fish at you! :)

2:17 am

Dianne

volley - I think if you scroll down you will see Friends of Babble and there is a link to Anglesong's page - that might give you the rules. If not let us know.

2:23 am

Flask1

Hi Jean.....how are you?

2:23 am

Ankhorite

Volley, still with us? See the tiny ? next to each word you've found? clicking that opens a new window with the definition. Huh, okay -- Dianne doesn't have a picture so I assumed she was unpaid, and she does have a flag -- but I guess I was wrong. Sorry about that, Volley. *blush*

2:23 am

flosey

2:25 am

Flask1

a clue for in8 please?

2:26 am

Ankhorite

2:27 am

Flask1

Dianne

Thanks so much. I do feel like the outsider with no pic.

2:43 am

Haz1558

Good morning all - just arrived to see what the grid has in store for us today.

2:43 am

Ankhorite

Okay, you see how we talk about st5,10? That means we need a word that starts se, has five letters, for ten points. BUT you need to know -- 4 letters means points equal the numbers on the tiles. FIVE letters means DOUBLE those numbers.

2:44 am

Ankhorite

Haz! Not so bad!

2:44 am

jean1953

good morning Haz:)

2:44 am

Dianne

se5/10 - think dog, Irish se**** - drop last 2 letter and make plural.

2:44 am

Haz1558

Oooh, have we caught another victim?

2:44 am

Ankhorite

Yes, be nice to Volley, she's been her less than an hour.

2:44 am

Morning Haz

2:45 am

jean1953

lol it seems we have Haz

2:45 am

Dianne

Looks like she is getting hooked from the get go.

2:45 am

Ankhorite

Oh, Dianne, really, slap me with a sturgeon. I had the singular.

2:45 am

VolleymomDee

lol years and years ago was a boggle addict, but it has been a terribly long time ago

2:45 am

Ankhorite

Yeah... she already longs for a wee flag, I can tell!

2:45 am

Haz1558

Who gets the prize for capturing her?

2:45 am

Ankhorite

*buffs nails with nonchalance*

2:46 am

Ankhorite

THis is like Boggle, but much quieter. In terms of decibels, that is. The chat here can get quite loud.

2:46 am

FMitch

Ankh did, she is our resident mother hen today.

2:46 am

Haz1558

Well, VolleymomDee, you know who to blame when the going gets tough. Ankhorite!

2:46 am

Ankhorite

*flaps her little hamster wings*

2:47 am

VolleymomDee

LOL

2:47 am

Ankhorite

Well, I remember what I wanted to know when I was new, not so long ago.

2:47 am

garyandjulie

it's wonderful being hooked but does anyone actually get a full ights sleep anymore?

2:47 am

Haz1558

No sleep, no housework, no food. You'll adapt.

2:47 am

garyandjulie

I mean I get up to see to the children or to let cat in and I have to just check to see if I can find last few words *g*

Hi Biltong

Haz1558

Gosh, I hadn't looked at the statistics.

3:00 am

Biltong

Hi FMitch, one consolation though, there are no re words

3:01 am

FMitch

I only looked as I cant see any more words at the mo. May have to go to the list soon
True Biltong no re's does make a change.

3:03 am

Biltong

I just popped in to see what the grid is like. I'll be bacl later. Enjoy!

3:11 am

Haz1558

Thank you, dictionary corner.

3:11 am

diem

thanks dianne great clue

3:12 am

Dianne

and look at me - i thought it had something to do with meeting someone..........

3:14 am

Haz1558

That sounds reasonable to me.

3:14 am

FMitch

It does sound like that Dianne, now that you've said it.

3:14 am

Dianne

especially in south America.

3:33 am

FMitch

Anyone have clue for the 1st de7/32?

3:33 am

Haz1558

The first one I have is to make something clean again.

3:34 am

FMitch

Yup that'sthe 1st one lovely thanks.

3:35 am

Haz1558

That's good! I've got to 110 and am about to trawl the che chat log for clues.

3:36 am

Haz1558

And I'll give my fingers and brain a good talking to, in order to get them to cooperate....

3:36 am

FMitch

LOL Im on 112.

3:37 am

Haz1558

We'll agree not to race, shall we?

3:37 am

FMitch

We won't race or play guess what I am missing :)

3:38 am

Haz1558

Just looking up the chat log - hurshy had 92 in 9 minutes. She's slowing right up.

3:39 am

FMitch

Sheesh and I was pleased with my 80 in 30 mins

3:40 am

Haz1558

Going that fast doesn't give you the chance to welcome each word properly. And it's bound to play havoc with the keyboard, eventually.

3:42 am

Dianne

de7/32 - de + what you get on you pants when you slide on grass.

3:43 am

FMitch

Thanks Dianne

3:46 am

diem

FMitch ihave 82 and started yesterday

3:48 am

FMitch

just found a nice run of words - or5 and 2 x 6 all related to public peaking.

Hi diem, thats a good chunk of words.

3:50 am

FMitch

*public speaking, heaven help my typing.

3:50 am

Haz1558

public peaking - show off mountaineers?

3:51 am

FMitch

I know, I know!

3:52 am

Haz1558

Better than private peeking. You can get arrested for that.

3:55 am

VolleymomDee

found o's related to clergy, too

3:56 am

FMitch

WTG Volley

EnemyisME

Hello, Haz

EnemyisME

4:06 am

Haz1558

4:06 am

EnemyisME

I plug and plod and enjoy the search

4:07 am

Karys

Good morning everyone :)

4:07 am

Haz1558

That sounds good. I do wish we could have oxter (scots armpit) but the x is redundant this morning.

4:08 am

Haz1558

Good morning Karys!

4:08 am

FMitch

Strange to ahve to address someone as Enemy

Karys and happy cat!!!! Morning

4:08 am

Haz1558

I know - Beast is another one where I always feel as if I'm insulting the person!

4:09 am

VolleymomDee

I think ewess should be a word

4:10 am

Haz1558

Why?

4:10 am

FMitch

4:25 am

FMitch

Evening lynxxx

4:26 am

Book Doctor Gwen

hiya mitch, infernal!

4:27 am

Karys

ooo...this is a silly grid, I keep trying to go and do something else and then I find another word !

4:28 am

Karys

hello infernal

4:29 am

FMitch

Hi BDG
The grid is nice like that today Karys, words just falling out of it ... and then they suddenly dry up lol

4:30 am

Book Doctor Gwen

yeah, and look at the right tier. Nothing! LOL

4:30 am

herinfernallady

hey gwen sorry registring new backpack

4:31 am

Karys

right;...on this particular drying up session, I WILL go and do something else ( reluctantly )....back in a bit

4:31 am

Book Doctor Gwen

(wondering how one registers a backpack, or why)

4:32 am

herinfernallady

Oh soryry its a new targus laptop backpack by paying $100 aus (my otherhalf bought it for me) you get a lifetime warentee

4:33 am

Haz1558

TIme to go and do other things. It's a nice grid, very few really peculiar words, by babble standards anyway.

4:33 am

herinfernallady

pardon my spelling i cant really see all that good out of my right side tonight

4:33 am

Book Doctor Gwen

hmmm, just for the backpack, or does that include the laptop?

4:33 am

herinfernallady

nope just for the backpack the laptop was a grand

4:34 am

Book Doctor Gwen

yee-ouch!

4:34 am

Book Doctor Gwen

(then again AUD are smaller than USD, aren't they?)

4:34 am

herinfernallady

um hang on a sec

4:35 am

lynxxx

AUD1000 = USD700 = GBP400 ....ish

4:35 am

VolleymomDee

my eyeballs are crossing... is my game automatically saved?

4:35 am

FMitch

Bye Haz catch up later :)

4:35 am

FMitch

Yes it is Volley

4:35 am

lynxxx

It is Volley

4:36 am

Eva

good morning everyone. So far this has been a well behaved grid

4:36 am

herinfernallady

Yep about that lynxx,

4:36 am

herinfernallady

just storted

4:36 am

VolleymomDee

ty lynxxx; ty all so much for nice welcome. I'll be back to visit! Have a great day all!

4:37 am

FMitch

Bye Volley

4:37 am

lynxxx

Bye Volley - see you again!

4:37 am

herinfernallady

there is way too many doubles that im seeing double, bye volley

4:37 am

lynxxx

Hi Eva

4:38 am

ExWren

Morning/afternoon everyone. Looks like I just missed Haz. I did get the Fireworks yesterday, but didn't bother chatting, there was a silly little troll making a nuisance of herself. Hopefully Rolin has sorted her out

4:38 am

herinfernallady

Gwen my partner doesn't want the very expensive new toy to get damaged that is why he got me a back pack so i can travel.

4:39 am

herinfernallady

Oh dear wren, thats not like rolin, must of had a bad hair day, how big was yesterdays grid?

4:40 am

lynxxx

Hello ExWren! belated congrats then for yesterday. You would be liking todays?

4:42 am

herinfernallady

i cant wait to go and get this in pro form got the card now to do it

4:42 am

ExWren

There were roughly half of today's total in yesterday's grid. I haven't looked at todays grid yet.

4:43 am

herinfernallady

there was 78 words i just checked archive, i was too busy at work over the weekend to log in

4:44 am

lynxxx

ExWren - it seems easier today -although only half way through. anyway must get back to it!

4:44 am

Book Doctor Gwen

infernal, ahh, i guess that makes more sense than what i was thinking 8-)

4:44 am

Book Doctor Gwen

(only 33 words left and haven't starting "cheating" yet!!)

4:45 am

herinfernallady

when i get a back pack i try to get one with a lifetime guarentee, its handy if its used every day, Way to go gwen i amk about to cave in

4:46 am

Eva

18 left....think I

4:46 am

Eva

think I'll rest for a while and then try the list

4:47 am

herinfernallady

oh i already got 30

4:47 am

EnemyisME

What is considered cheating? Where are the rules that establish what a babbler does to be considered a cheat?

4:48 am

Eva

I can't think of anything that would be considered cheating. Everyone has their own patters of what and when they use help.

4:48 am

herinfernallady

nothing is cheating its asking for help, the only one you are cheating is your self, go as far as you can then look at licketys list

4:49 am

Eva

it's about keeping it interesting but not excrutiating

4:49 am

FMitch

Someone came up with a great line on that Enemy - the only cheating is a solver program, the rest is research.

4:49 am

Book Doctor Gwen

by "cheating" i mean looking at the licketysplit page and using the 2-letter clues. Oh, and also asking you guys for clues!

4:49 am

EnemyisME

if nothing is cheating how can you cheat yourself?

4:49 am

Eva

some people use a2z, or different word finding programs. Others use nothing.

4:49 am

lynxxx

"cheating' is in the mind of the player only - no rules except those each player imposes upon him/herself. Hi Enemy!

4:49 am

Book Doctor Gwen

(that's why I used the quote marks, ya know)

4:50 am

Book Doctor Gwen

and when I'm really stuck i use that a2z page sometimes. helps find the "weird" words i've never heard of

4:50 am

Ankhorite

When I use morewords.com I feel like I'm cheating, but I only do it when I'm totally desperate... not gonna say hi, just in here to shut down the computer. :) And most days I don't finish -- I'm not one of the big competitors. But once in a while, a missing word will REALLY annoy me, and then it's morewords time! BBLater, all.

4:50 am

herinfernallady

Sorry i think to me cheating is when you look at the grid 'go i cant be arsed trying i'll look at the list' instead of giving it a go, I also say what lynxx said as its better said

4:51 am

herinfernallady

sorry i really cant see the screen properly so i apoligise for the poor spelling

4:51 am

EnemyisME

If I am going to be labled a cheater for specific conduct, I want to know what that conduct is. To be thought of as a cheater is offensive to me.

4:51 am

Book Doctor Gwen

this grid today so far only has a few "weird" words and they're ones i already know

4:52 am

Ankhorite

*blinks* I guess I missed something... I don't think anyone can label someone here a cheater. I label myself that way when I hit morewords; and I try to resist Lickety's list now that I have some experience; but I can't imagine anything anyone ELSE would do that I would call cheating.

4:52 am

Eva

I can't imagine that anyone would consider you a cheater. The only times I have seen people get a bit miffed is when someone comes on and asks for basically every word to be given to them, without making any effort themselves.

4:53 am

herinfernallady

NO enemy not saying you are cheating i get grilled for saying 'im off to cheat when i use lickteys list and amo instead of saying 'my brain is dead im off for help

4:53 am

Ankhorite

Oh,yeah, Eva, but that's just ruuuude. I've only seen it from trolls I suspected were under age 15. Okay, turning this off now, no matter how attractive the chat may be! BBL! :)

4:53 am

Eva

bye ankhor

4:53 am

JFB

Surely the best way is to do what you feel comfortable with. For myself being limited for time I try to get over halfway - thats a victory for me!!

4:53 am

Book Doctor Gwen

hey hey hey, I'm the one who use the word "cheating" and it was in quotes and it was about me! so don't be miffed

4:54 am

herinfernallady

I will put my hand up on that one eva, i was a multi cluer at first then i got the hamg of the game now i don't ask unless im getting a waffle head from the keyboard

4:55 am

herinfernallady

'pokes out my right eye so i can focus the left better'

4:55 am

Eva

no infernal-you were enver like that. Asking for clues a lot int he beginning is just fine.....and sometimes we all geet tired and need a lot of help. Ankho was right-it's been trolls.

4:56 am

Eva

Anyway, we all seem to be in agreement that there's no such thing as cheating.

4:56 am

herinfernallady

Um i think i could be classed as a troll at first to, but now im a reformed troll and try to respect everyone. I hit my self with the attitude adjuster stick

4:57 am

herinfernallady

oh dear im really lossiing it i failed to se a we 4/9 since im cateering one on saturday

4:57 am

Eva

Far be it from me to challenge your trolledness herinfernal(-:

4:58 am

herinfernallady

rasberry at eva. Im so dead i just told my partner that i would 'fix the bag up when im a lot more concentrated' i think i poored one to many jugs of cordial over the weekend

4:59 am

Eva

that raspberry woke Merp up herinferna

5:00 am

herinfernallady

Who is merp?

5:00 am

Eva

my cat-the handsome guy in the picture

5:01 am

JFB

The best thing about the chat is the way you can differ but never fall out and do it over 2 or 3 continents - where else could you do that?

5:01 am

Eva

it is very neat JFB

5:02 am

herinfernallady

CUTE

5:03 am

Eva

my neck and shoulders are sending me clear messages that I've been babbling too long, so time for a break. See you all later.

5:03 am

JFB

Great fun! I'm well past my target [103] so I ought to do something else. bbl

5:03 am

lynxxx

Bye JFB

5:05 am

Dianne

Hi all - just back for a bit. I think we might be up to 5 continents by now.

5:07 am

lynxxx

Hi Dianne. you are right. have we ever had anyone on from South America (really, that is, not the people with the I-wish flags)

5:07 am

Book Doctor Gwen

dianne, i thought i knew all the flags but what is yours?

5:08 am

Dianne

I've never seen anyone from South America but that doesn't mean that there isn't a lurking player from there :)

5:08 am

Dianne

Book Doctor Gwen

5:12 am

Dianne

5:13 am

lynxxx

Congrats Dianne! I have got too many to find - but you could tell me if you used the X in any words

5:13 am

Book Doctor Gwen

Book Doctor Gwen

5:20 am

herinfernallady

5:20 am

Book Doctor Gwen

Hi Metal.

ExWren - its Mo'vember in Melbourne (at least). Guys grow moustaches and raise awareness - and money - to support Protrate Cancer Awareness - do you have this over there?

phandmd

Wait, what happened, first I said good morning all and thought I had hit return...

5:44 am

ExWren

Not that I am aware of lynxxx. It seems as if we are only just beginning to talk about it at all. If you have read my profile today, you will see that my husband has had the big 'C', but we also know at least a dozen men who are in varying stages of it

5:45 am

phandmd

wonder if I might get a small clue for the in 8?

can't help yet phandmd.:(

5:47 am

metaleather

Wren, I don't mean to pry, but how did you first become aware of your husband's illness... I mean, what prompted you both to see a doctor?

5:47 am

LoriP

G'd Morning all! I hope this grind is gentler with me than yesterdays's was

5:48 am

phandmd

grind? is that a freudian slip?

5:48 am

LoriP

This is an excellent subject choice. My Father is a 15 year + survivor.

5:48 am

metaleather

hi Lori

5:48 am

lynxxx

ExWren - perhaps you can pinch this idea then. Prostrate awareness has become quite 'commonplace' over here as a result of a lot of media attention/publicity. All very good as the earlier it is detected the better. I haven't read your profile yet but I will - best wishes for your husbands total recovery.

5:49 am

LoriP

LOl Phan, nope, just a poor typist

5:49 am

sunny09

hi Lori

5:49 am

diem

ph it starts in

5:49 am

phandmd

Yah, got that far...

5:50 am

ExWren

Without putting too fine a point on it metal, he found he was getting up several times in the night, then not able to pee

5:50 am

Book Doctor Gwen

got to get some work doen, see y'all, bbl, bye

5:50 am

sunny09

bye Gwen

5:50 am

LoriP

Later bdg

5:50 am

metaleather

see ya later Gwen

5:50 am

ExWren

There are more and more articles in the press about it now

5:51 am

metaleather

ty Wren, I'm sort of the health watchdog for my fella and was wondering what to watch for

5:51 am

LoriP

A regular exam is the way to go, signs or not.

5:52 am

diem

SWAP (baseballcards) drop last letter add two in spanish

5:52 am

ExWren

I shall never forget the look on Bill's face when his Consultant just came right out with it and said "you have cancer".

5:53 am

sunny09

ExWren, how did he feel going to a doctor?? My MOTH is very shy about the whole consultation side of checkups. He says he has enough to cope with getting regular colonoscopies for his Crohns disease.

5:53 am

lynxxx

In Aust tey are encouraging ALL men over 40/50 to have a simple annual bloodtest with rectal examination as well which can detect early stages of the disease even before other symptoms - my husband actually had these done this week.

5:54 am

ExWren

The examination and biopsy is not a pleasant experience, but better than dying an awful death.

5:54 am

sunny09

thanks Diem.. good clue

5:54 am

metaleather

it's an uphill fight to get my fella to go to the doc. when he has pneumonia... but after eight years together, he's learning not to resist when I "encourage" him to see the doc.

5:55 am

phandmd

was that a clue for the in 8?

5:55 am

metaleather

I'll make it a point to see that he has an exam next trip to the doctor.

5:55 am

ExWren

When he was diagnosed his PSA blood count was 6.9%, they cannot detect it now.

5:55 am

metaleather

very good clue indeed Diem

5:56 am

phandmd

Gosh, now I feel stupid, I don't get it :-(

5:56 am

sunny09

why do most men have such a hard time seeing a doctor??

5:56 am

MaverickWill

Because we're cowards!

5:56 am

metaleather

especially about things... "down there".

5:57 am

metaleather

phan... what do you do with baseball cards? you swap them. what's another word for swap?

5:57 am

sunny09

lol maverick!!

5:57 am

metaleather

combine that resulting answer with the spanish word for two

5:57 am

LoriP

It's changing with the generation IMO. Dad is now 85, my brother, who previously would NEVER go (is now 56), goes regularly and has convinced male friends of teh ebnefit as well.

I think most women feel the same way about pap smears but the benefits outweigh the embarrasment

6:03 am

Go phan! What is the word total today please?

6:05 am

I seem to be the exception, though - I've got no problems with doctors taking a look. Or nurs... Never mind...

6:05 am

thanks for remembering sunny

6:08 am

herinfernallady

i just found out someone i know is rorting social security and it isses me off that we have dobbed him in before and he keeps doing it

6:08 am

sunny09

are you prepared for it or is the groom still giving you grief?

6:09 am

herinfernallady

grief lots, i must go find two grooms now

6:10 am

herinfernallady

oh sunny your little one is a cutie

6:11 am

herinfernallady

im so cross right now im grinding my teeth

6:11 am

MaverickWill

Herin - keep ratting on him. He's defrauding the taxpayers.

6:11 am

sunny09

thanks Herin, he is a livewire. A mega personality

6:12 am

herinfernallady

we do from 2 people and they don't listen, he just got 2 grand for selling a website and in the 30 min i was gone i found out this information and im not a computor nerd

6:13 am

MaverickWill

And there's nothing wrong with a guy being like that. Think about it - he has no control, he's praying he doesn't say the wrong name at the altar, and he's hoping you won't kill him, the best man and half the guests if he passes gas during his speech.

6:14 am

sunny09

no Maverick... Herin is the caterer not the bride.

6:15 am

MaverickWill

My apologies! Replace you with she... Although, if he's paying you, he should be a bit more courteous.

6:17 am

6:26 am

sunny09

darn it!! sorry

6:26 am

metaleather

I've half a piano keyboard left to find, I'm hungry and my feet are cold. Perhaps taking a head-clearing, food finding and sock putting on break will solve all three problems

6:26 am

MaverickWill

I thought it was too. Mind you, I can't believe I wasn't allowed trainset...

6:27 am

Deeha

No it isnt just Aussie slang we call them westies too

Little trick from the lovely Brazilians - get a can of expanding foam (think the stuff they use for wall insultaion). Grab your victim by the Adam's apple, and hold for 10 seconds. When you let go, they gasp. Shoot the foam down their throat. Fills up their lungs, then disintegrates inside the body... after doing the job, of course!

I agree wholeheartedly Annie, hodag... it's only for today and tomorrow it's back to nights for two days, then one day off then another day, then a day off then two nights.

7:16 am

metaleather

lots of switching up for these next several days. it should even out once he switches to the new job.

7:16 am

metaleather

he'll be two weeks one schedule, then two weeks the other schedule. still hard to change, but easier than switching every day.

7:17 am

Anniebrook

It sounds as if he is a fireman

7:17 am

lots of luck to you metal.

7:17 am

it's a change from all nights, but the commute is much shorter and the money is almost half again per hour.

Hello Harpjane, it is Prostate cancer awareness. I am hoping we can save a few men's lives

9:40 am

Cherrypop

I have alerted all my male relatives since a friend was just diagnosed and had surgery.

9:40 am

Scarlet

'Morning, all. ExWren, thank you for your icon. My hubby just completed an 8-week radiation therapy regimen and is recovering well... but it is scary and exhausting for him. All is quite good, now.

9:41 am

Mom

Hi Scarlet

9:41 am

Scarlet

Hi Mom!! That sounds so wonderful to say.

9:41 am

Mom

My dad, at 73, just had the radiation seed implants in October.

9:42 am

Scarlet

My loved one also has Parkinson's Disease, and was not considered a very good candidate for the seeds nor the surgery.

9:42 am

ExWren

Best wishes to your husband, Scarlet. My husband finished his radio therapy two years ago now, and his PSA count is zero

9:42 am

Mom

I am "mom" to everyone, except my mom and dad. It is a title I treasure.

I am just Mom, no grandchildren. Our sons are 22 and 18 and in college and no serious love interest.

9:46 am

Scarlet

ExWren and Mom, loved one will never be allowed to have another regimen of radiation... he had the max allowable by science.

9:47 am

"there shined a shiny demon....in the middle....of the road...."

12:55 pm

Siouxz

Hey Peaches! Good grid today, once you get started, it flies!

12:56 pm

Dachef

"...Or I'll eat your souls", and we said, "Okay".

12:56 pm

Bloodaxe

"plaayyy the best song in the world...or I'll eat your soul"

12:56 pm

MaverickWill

But Tribute's not the best song in the world. It's a tribute to the best song in the world. And if you look at the music behind the song - there's even a small section I've only heard on the live recordings that's blatantly taken from it - the song's all about Stairway to Heaven.

12:56 pm

Bloodaxe

that's right dached!

12:57 pm

Bloodaxe

this is true maverick, but i can honestly say that I like Tribute much more than I like Stairway to Heaven.

12:57 pm

EvaNadine

"he asked is *snarl* 'be you angels?'
and we said 'Nay. we are but men.' Rock ON!!"

12:57 pm

Bloodaxe

hahahaha..ROCK!

12:57 pm

snowyowl

Hi Dachef - CATHB had lunch at your place last week & enjoyed herself -I still haven't got there yet! Am planning an escape route so mry get there sometime!

12:57 pm

MaverickWill

It's more fun, I'll give it that, but Stairway's just awesome.

12:58 pm

Bloodaxe

dang, now i wish i would have brought my dvd with me....7 loooooong months until i can see it again.

12:58 pm

Siouxz

MissyNelson are you around?

12:58 pm

snowyowl

Bye Stidmama!

12:58 pm

Dachef

But why should you not be alarmed if there is a rustle in the hegero

12:58 pm

MaverickWill

Oh, goodness... Livin' On A Prayer just came on my media player. Do I let it play, or not?

12:58 pm

Dachef

Hedgerow, even?

12:59 pm

EvaNadine

you TOTALLY let it play!

12:59 pm

Atalante

Dachef! Hi!

12:59 pm

MaverickWill

Because it's just a sprinkling from the may-queen.

12:59 pm

Bloodaxe

the dvd has footage for them playing on tv shows. they played on Mad TV and Dave Grohl was playing the drums.

12:59 pm

torgone

It's just a spring clean for the May queen . . . .(?)

12:59 pm

Dachef

Hi Ata! LTNC!

1:00 pm

Bloodaxe

Maverick...you NEVER turn off Bon jovi.

1:00 pm

MaverickWill

The weird thing is, neither of us knows if we're right. I think that's the nature of Stairway. Plus, the unbelieveable reverse lyrics...

1:00 pm

Bloodaxe

wow evan....it's obvious that we're both 27;

1:00 pm

EvaNadine

hah -- its a good age to be bloodaxe!

1:01 pm

cattyrina

ok I have to jump in too now to join the 27 year old club!

1:01 pm

Bloodaxe

it's the best!

1:01 pm

Bloodaxe

yay catty!

1:01 pm

MaverickWill

Oh, I still insist 19's better. I was born the year this came out! Love Bon Jovi, but there's better songs than Prayer...

1:01 pm

Dachef

The lyric "sprinkling for the MayQueen" is an allusion to a pagan festival, where the men were encouraged to consecrate the ground.

1:01 pm

EvaNadine

bon jovi was my first concert....i think i was about 10...heh

1:02 pm

Dachef

BTW, I just totally made that up.

1:02 pm

Bloodaxe

maverick, my favorite is "Blaze of Glory".

1:02 pm

MaverickWill

And now Extreme have come on... Get The Funk Out! :D

1:02 pm

cattyrina

1:02 pm

Bloodaxe

MaverickWill

Raise Your Hands is awesome. And, yes, I'm a Young Gun too...

1:04 pm

Bloodaxe

Oh YEA... I forgot about Raise your Hands...the intro to spaceballs!

1:04 pm

Bloodaxe

that's one of the best guitar riffs ever!

1:04 pm

Bloodaxe

for an intro, that is.

1:05 pm

MaverickWill

My first "concert" (because my sisters wanted to go, so they used me to get their own way) was the Backstreet Boys, age 6, or something...

1:05 pm

Dachef

ah, Spaceballs! "You didnt see anything did you?" "No sir, I specifically did not see you playing with your dolls again sir!" Classic movie.

1:05 pm

Cantstop

my first concert was the backstreet boys hehe

1:05 pm

Bloodaxe

"they've gone plaid...."

1:06 pm

Bloodaxe

maverick, another one of my firsts was Amy Grant.

1:06 pm

cattyrina

I would've judged you without those inverted commas Mav!!

1:06 pm

EvaNadine

"may the schwartz be with you!"

1:07 pm

Dachef

"oh my god, they've jammed the radar!" "mmm, raspberry. I hate raspberry."

1:07 pm

MaverickWill

I also know all the lyrics to Mmbop - by choice, though...

1:07 pm

Clues for the W words, in order, with number of letters - Marries (4). Not East (4). Soaks (4). Breeze (4). Breezes (5). Comes first (4). Wi + Sun-___ Lotion (5). A colour, without its second letter (4). Add a d to the colour (5). Add an s to the colour (5). Intelligence, smarts (4).

Docking, and Ear Cropping for dogs, just as is Declawing for cats, are cruel and barbaric practices which should be banned.

Stepping down off my soap box now.

She looked like a weimaraner as far as coat/coloring/conformation but if you "rolled back" her coat... she had the thick woolly undercoat of a chow. her tongue was black, and when she was a puppy her eyes were ice blue, changing to light amber when she grew up

we got lady because the salvage yard owners who owned her parents and used them as guard dogs didn't think she was much to look at or would amount to much. They saw her when she was about six months old and offered $500 for her. (She was as tall as a Weim., a bit stockier, and absolutely gorgeous... very protective but gentle and well-behaved)

2:33 pm

This is the first time I've ever played this. It's diabolical!

3:00 pm

annotherone

you take care fran

3:01 pm

annotherone

diabolical?

3:01 pm

wjydna

Well, challenging

3:01 pm

annotherone

it's certainly that

3:02 pm

annotherone

it's also very addictive

3:02 pm

ren8

Hello wjydna, it is but very addictive

3:02 pm

metaleather

VERY addictive

3:02 pm

annotherone

can't go to bed until I've had my 'fix' of babble

3:03 pm

wjydna

How obscure are the more challenging words?

3:04 pm

annotherone

some of them are really obscure but everyone on here helps when you're stuck

3:04 pm

annotherone

sometimes deciphering the clues your given can be as intriguing as doing the puzzle

3:04 pm

annotherone

you're I mean

3:05 pm

metaleather

and there's always Lickety's Clues list to fall back on

3:05 pm

annotherone

the bible for us babbles

3:06 pm

cattyrina

Am looking for the first st5/10 and the last st6/18. I'm getting square eyes looking for them and I have lessons to plan for tomorrow!!! help please :'(

3:07 pm

metaleather

catty: st5/10 a mark or spot on fabric

3:07 pm

ren8

haven't started on the st's yet sorry

3:07 pm

metaleather

st6/18 layers, an anagram of the 6/18 previous to it

3:08 pm

cattyrina

omg. I thought I had put that st 5/10 in so i was ignoring it. You're right though thanks metal- no wonder I couldn't find it!!

3:08 pm

metaleather

and... the "spot" is an unwanted one ... that may help

3:08 pm

wjydna

What does st6/18 mean? And such

3:08 pm

metaleather

yvw catty

3:08 pm

ursh

Hi all - popped in to shut down for the night early clue for that st6 was plural wispy clouds

3:08 pm

ren8

thanks metal, thats 2 less for me to find when I start on the st's

3:08 pm

kthdsn

hi all

3:09 pm

ren8

Hi Ursh

3:09 pm

metaleather

the letters are the first two letters of the word you're seeking

3:09 pm

metaleather

the first number is the number of letters in the word

3:09 pm

metaleather

and the second number is the total point value of the word

3:09 pm

ren8

and kthdsn

3:09 pm

metaleather

hi ursh

3:09 pm

metaleather

hi kt

3:10 pm

ursh

Had ladies dinner - good food - nice wine lots of man bashing so good laughs

3:11 pm

metaleather

wjy... if you'll look near the bottom of this page, beneath the grid, there are various links... the one "Angelsong's..." will take you to a great page with much information about Babble

3:11 pm

annotherone

wjydna - you need to bring up the lickety's babble clues link

3:11 pm

metaleather

there's a link there for Lickety's clue page also

3:11 pm

annotherone

that tells you what the first 2 letters are of each word and how long it is

3:12 pm

annotherone

hence you see people asking for clues for the st6/18 etc

3:13 pm

3:40 pm

I love it actually blood. I would have answered differently last year, I was in a REALLY rough school so it was really demoralising. I get a lot out of my job and have real fun. It's hard work but I would recommend it! What do you do (apart from delivering eggs)?

4:09 pm

cattyrina

ta 5/12 that is...

4:09 pm

Bloodaxe

well, delivering eggs is really a full time job. you'd think that just because i only "work" one day out of the year, i'd have a lot of leisure time. but the eggs don't make themselves...and it's a lot of eggs.

4:09 pm

Bloodaxe

hi bil.

4:28 pm

cattyrina

I bet it will blood. There are loads of great tefl courses in the uk, so I'm sure there are elsewhere as well. Class sizes for tefl would prob be smaller, though I dunno how it works over there. If you're up for working hard, there's no better fun than teaching a good lesson and getting positive feedback.

4:28 pm

Hi Ya Biltong

8:49 pm

jillibus

I'm getting hungry...

8:49 pm

I hate to be the bearer of bad tidings, but the weatherman just announced that we shouldn't expect a thaw anytime soon :(

9:25 pm

FranMag

we're actually getting cooler weather here too, they're predicting low 60s overnight this week.

9:26 pm

stidmama

oh Fran, break out the parkas!

9:26 pm

FranMag

colder at higher elevations.

9:26 pm

stidmama

yes, nan, I heard that earlier. WAY colder tonight than it has been, and perhaps even more snow on top of the ice...

9:26 pm

lbdawger

i already broke out my down parka. it got up to a blistering 10 degrees today! it was 4 when i got back in my jeep tonight.

9:26 pm

cybernan

I could easily take that kind of cool at this point, Fran -- I wasn't ready for such an early winter!

9:26 pm

FranMag

i'm going to have to stid! (maybe a sweater)

9:27 pm

tndaisy1960

9:27 pm

cybernan

lol daisy -- I agree!

9:27 pm

stidmama

I have on long johns under my clothes, two shirts, a heavy sweater, a blanket, my laptop (like a portable personal heater) and a dog on my feet...

9:28 pm

jafro2

9:28 pm

lbdawger

9:28 pm

FranMag

sorry, wasn't looking for sympathy, just pointing out that it's cooler everywhere right now..

9:28 pm

stidmama

in 5/10, the first one is to put something "in" something else, like woodwork or jewelry

9:28 pm

jafro2

thx

9:29 pm

stidmama

the second is short for in*****tion, to make an acquaintance

9:29 pm

cybernan

there are two: one is a p.i.p. the other is a prefix for "beginning"

9:29 pm

lbdawger

Fran, i imagine that 60 there can be rather chilly especially with all that water around you.

9:29 pm

cybernan

*that means beginning"

9:30 pm

helenkeller

bb after boston legal

9:30 pm

stidmama

*grinning at Fran* but for you, 60 IS cold! I remember what it was like in Puerto Rico... *offers a warm cup of tea and a couple cookies*

9:30 pm

stidmama

later helen!

9:30 pm

FranMag

lbd, it's only chilly for me because i grew up in Guam (90+ weather all year and never goes below 70 at night)

9:30 pm

lbdawger

9:31 pm

arleneehm

this canuck is going to leave before the rest figure out it's going to be 14+ C tomorrow and thursday.... have a good night all

9:40 pm

jafro2

se 7,28

9:40 pm

lbdawger

it must be stid, she's frozen and can't respond

9:40 pm

stidmama

LOL lbd!

9:41 pm

stidmama

se 7: "a poem of six six-line stanzas and a three-line envoy"; se + consonant + singer **** turner

9:41 pm

jafro2

ah! never would have figured that one out...thanks again!

9:43 pm

stidmama

it's really quiet now... *shhhh --- do not disturb!*

9:43 pm

lbdawger

it's one of the weirder ones today Jafro

9:44 pm

jafro2

i know, everything is in one little quadrant on the board

9:44 pm

lbdawger

people must be having lives or something Stid...how dare they?

9:44 pm

jafro2

it's not freezing here in TX yet, but i'm sure frozen on this game...

9:45 pm

lbdawger

where in tx are you Jafro

9:45 pm

stidmama

what part of TX, jafro?

9:45 pm

stidmama

LOL lbd!

9:45 pm

jafro2

central TX, the armpit of the state :)

9:45 pm

stidmama

so while we're waiting, what would you like to see in the next installment, lbd?

9:46 pm

lbdawger

hmmm, i'm curious about Sebastion, but i also wonder about Nan.

9:46 pm

stidmama

oh -- one winter my family was driving across the country to come home to Washington. The snow in texas, that long, flat stretch of freeway was amazing, and there were nothing but country radio stations.

9:47 pm

stidmama

what do you wonder about nan, lbd? i miss getting the instant feedback of telling the story in the log

9:47 pm

jafro2

wait...you mean there's other kinds of music?!?!?

9:47 pm

lbdawger

Just if she's going to get better and how her life is going to turn out.

9:48 pm

lbdawger

lol Jafro!

9:49 pm

stidmama

*giggle* apparently so, jafro!

9:49 pm

stidmama

okay lbd, and what about Sebastian?

9:50 pm

lbdawger

what will his next adventure be, and how will he get off that island and what is he learning from these experiences.

9:52 pm

stidmama

okay, thanks. I'll see what inspires me tomorrow! :-)

9:52 pm

lbdawger

i'm not a country western fan, i can listen to alabama, eagles, and a few others for about one song each. driving through cw country would drive me over the edge!

9:53 pm

lbdawger

i also love the stories about Adam and Ava courting, and Paul and Gwylly. all your characters are wonderful. Esmeralda is also a mystery.

9:55 pm

stidmama

Thanks lbd. *blush* my favorite parts are the ones that almost stand alone -- that explain something about a particular character or relationship.

9:56 pm

jafro2

lbd, that's about all the "county" i can really take, too...but my mom is stuck on Toby Keith

9:56 pm

lbdawger

I think that's what makes your story so special. each character can stand alone and you wonder about him or her and what will happen next.

9:56 pm

jafro2

country, sorry

9:57 pm

stidmama

*wondering who toby keith is*

9:58 pm

lbdawger

I try to be open minded about music, but i really cringe at "the tears in my ears lying on my back crying over you." songs

9:58 pm

jafro2

you're better off not knowing, stid

9:59 pm

lbdawger

lol Jafro! aren't we glad there are cd's and tape players in cars now!

9:59 pm

stidmama

my Tom won't listen to country -- ever. Not sure why. But I like some, generally the older stuff that is more like the bluegrass and folk music I enjoy

9:59 pm

lbdawger

welp, gotta go put the ol' body to bed. nighters everyone. see you tomorrow.

10:00 pm

trads

10:19 pm

stidmama

we used to steam or boil them and then use them like peas. the website "All About Fava Beans" says: Add fresh fava beans to risottos, spring vegetable stews and ragouts and soups. They are great with their springtime partner - artichokes.

A favorite traditional Italian appetizer is peeled cooked fava beans sprinkled with olive oil and salt along with salami, prosciutto and slices of Parmesan or pecorino cheese. Simply wonderful!

10:19 pm

harpjane

thanks, I'll check out the website!

10:20 pm

jafro2

i hear they're great with a census taker's liver and a nice chianti :)

10:20 pm

stidmama

I used to put a tomato sauce over them. They were tender and fresh and very "meaty" not dry and mealy like lima beans, and not too bitter

10:21 pm

stidmama

jafro, that's silly. Poor census taker!

10:22 pm

stidmama

okay, I am taking an eyeball break. hope to see you-all again later or tomorrow!

actually, the countries that show up red on the map are also some of the longest-lived countries... young men don't often get prostate cancer and it's usually slow growing even with older men.
