it's a 5/22
3:23 am

I see the sh5/12 means there will be no shortage of fish to hand around.
3:24 am
blombol
i dont understand the terminology that you use. what does 5/22 mean. i only started this thing today so i am a little uneducated
3:24 am
saphyre
it means that it is 5 letters long and is 22 points total
3:24 am
FMitch
lol Haz, have a feeling will need lots of fish today too
3:24 am
EnemyisME
blombol, which is why I suggested you take a look at Angelsongs' at the bottom of this page
3:25 am
saphyre
read the help links for an explanation of how the points work
3:25 am
Biltong
blombol, go to the bottom of the page and click on AngelSong's Babble Page. I am sure you will find it useful
3:27 am
saphyre
Each tile has a point value. To determine the score for a word, the point-value for the length of the word is multiplied by the total letter values for the word: 4-letter word = 1 x Points,5-letter word = 2 x Points,6-letter word = 3 x Points,7-letter word = 4 x Points etc etc

nut...you've probably heard this before but that is really common in male cats (I didn't know that until we had issues too). We switched to a low ash, soft food and have never had another problem...more spendy but worth it (not having to replace furniture etc) Good luck, that is no fun for you or the kitty :(

1:19 pm

no, where we live just a couple inches (maybe 5 cm) in all, but we don't often get ANY, and it made the roads very icy. Some of them are still treacherous. But we're less than 200 ft above water level and within 1/8 mile of the shore.

ususally districts plan 2-3 extra days on the calendar. When they miss more than that, it has to be made up. I work for Head Start and we didn't put any extra days in our calendar (not my decision!) so we'll have to hold school during Spring Break

3:54 pm
mkl
Sorry Fran. Typed it before I saw your clue.

3:56 pm

3:56 pm
msilver620
sc 5 sc+ (the 8th leter) + the abbrev for the state where seattle is
3:56 pm

it's 4 consonants in a row and then the vowel
3:57 pm
Biltong

spooks - undercover operators.
8:07 pm
evanonut
007 types...he he he
8:07 pm
AprilD
he is probably a class or two short of his Bachelors, but you know, he is highly specialized, so I think he would like to stay in his field.
8:07 pm
Jacula
nut - really? Or is it your imagination?
8:07 pm
lbdawger
it could pay for his full education April. that's how my hubby got his degree
8:07 pm
Babblephish
Oh yeah! she gets over 1200 per month. pays the bills while she takes classes
8:08 pm
AprilD
I will ask him about that GI thing. Is that ontop of his full retirement?
8:08 pm
lbdawger
yup, the stipend for going to school is well worth it. It paid his bills and some of our bills.
8:08 pm
Babblephish
It wont pay for Harvard but it does pay for State schools and the UC system in California is superb
8:09 pm
Babblephish
oh yes April!

Mum was like me, daughter's like me and her. (Poor girl stood no chance of not being so... given that both her paternal and maternal grandmother's are shoe lovers, as is her father.)

i have that one, i think there's another one, jacula
8:55 pm
riemann
*chuckle* Guess you didn't get the notice about no after-school activities tonight.
8:55 pm
stidmama
I think we got above 0 C today, calm air until about an hour ago. But you're talking 0 F, aren't you?
8:55 pm
Jacula
trumpet-playing offspring, Stid? That's almost as bad as a violin playing offspring - in the learning stages! Steer them towards electric guitar! It's not half as bad.
8:56 pm
riemann
0 C would be fabulous. 0 F is the target.
8:56 pm
stidmama
*grin* actually, I DID check the emergency email service and there was no mention of activities being canceled. In fact they went out of their way to say that normal after-school activities were ON!
8:56 pm
stidmama
I have a fiddler also, Jacula -- and a pianist. Two kids. go figure. :-)
8:57 pm
riemann
Hmm... Did you have the right night for the event?
8:57 pm

9:00 pm
helenkeller
stid - i never "throw" money away on shoes! all 3 pairs i bought come with arch supports already in them - the slippers are haflinger, boiled wool with indoor/outdoor sole; then i got a pair of finn comfort- german shoes that never, ever retail for less than $225, i got a special deal for $163 & then the athletic shoes, well they just really work well for me, especially since the hip replacement - they are stability running shoes with springs in the heel & ball of the sole, so they "return" energy when you walk (banned from the boston marathon, btw)
9:01 pm

9:02 pm

The twister threw cars into the air and tore chimneys from roofs, brought down electricity cables,uprooted trees, crumpled caravans, blew away sheds and outbuildings and moved a steel ofice structur (portakabin?) 200 yards to the other side of a railway line.

jilli - I remember watching a programme on tv wher a foot-bound woman revealed her unbound feet. My feet still haven't recovered from the shock of that. What a painful experience it must have been!

a friend of mine had to have that done for a front tooth; just be sure to pay attention to the "after" care, and I bet you will do well!
11:40 pm
girlie
ok, the sa 7/52 has me stumped
11:40 pm
helenkeller
tea - i've had that done - had a post put in; i always ask for lots of pain killers, before, during & especially after
11:41 pm
TeaNCrackers
my dad just had the same thing done a couple of weeks ago and he is still miserable.
11:41 pm

11:42 pm
helenkeller
chj! - hey, great icon-finding there, LOL
11:42 pm
Jacula
T&C - better than false teeth though! Remember, when you end up on some ward when you are old and 'mad' they might lose both your teeth and your glasses. Proof to me, that tooth implants and lasrer eye surgery *may* be worth considering.
11:42 pm
girlie
ok, thats so a made up word, even for babble, arg
11:42 pm
TeaNCrackers
maybe I will be a better employee on drugs!
11:43 pm
jillibus
no girlie, sa7 is not a made-up word!
11:43 pm
girlie
I'm kidding jillibus!
11:44 pm
dicktrickle
it's a skating move
11:44 pm
Jacula
sa7 is an everyday word for a skater.
11:44 pm
girlie
I just checked the word finder tho ... and it ain't in there
11:44 pm
helenkeller
chj - are you a skating fan? i saw brian boitano being interviewed on tv last night & i still clearly remember the first time i saw him live, at the old chicago stadium, 1987 & he did this great bit to 'secret agent man' - i was impressed from the word go!
11:44 pm
tndaisy1960
Jac, my stepson had the laser eye thing done and he LOVES it! He has better than 20/20 now.
11:44 pm
girlie
I'm sure it is
11:44 pm
chj
yes i love skating
11:45 pm
chj
i wish they kept the figures
11:45 pm
helenkeller
everybody go get the laser eye surgery!!! (i've had stock in them since before human trials :))))
11:45 pm
chj
i think the last year they had the figures was the year boitano won the gold
11:45 pm
helenkeller
i love skating too & ita about the figures, that takes true expertise
11:46 pm
helenkeller
that hand straight above the head move was amazing!
11:46 pm
jillibus
I like the figures too -- did a bit of that years ago and some basic ice dancing -- great fun with a good-looking coach :-)
11:46 pm
Jacula
Glad to hear it, daisy! My gp's theory on that is, 'Let's see what the scar tissue does in 20 years' time!' Howver, my last post about the specs and the teeth was based on seeing my Dad stuck on a mental health ward with his specs and his teeth lost...
11:46 pm
helenkeller
wow jili- you must be a really good skater - i have a hard time dancing on solid ground
11:47 pm
tndaisy1960
<----has a hard time standing on solid ground :)
11:47 pm
jillibus
that sa7 was named after the inventor in 1909, Ulrich Sa7, a Swede -- see wikipedia
11:48 pm
helenkeller
jacula - a long time ago, i made some remark to my dentist about when i was going to have dentures & he said, why are just assuming you're going to have dentures, you won't! times have a-changed
11:48 pm
jillibus
not a really good skater -- had this good-looking guy to hang on to <VBG>
11:48 pm
helenkeller
lol daisy
11:48 pm
Jacula
I did some basic ice 'Gawd I'm going really fast here... hope I stay upright when I go over the watery bits! Don't want to fall down in front of the boys and show my knickers!' back in the 1970s.
11:48 pm
TeaNCrackers
I don't qualify for the laser surgery on the eyes and am headed towards dentures, given my history - ugh!

Got down to -25C here last night, -11 tonight. Not used to this cold --- wouldn't mind so much if it was cold enough to get rid of the pine beetle! -- think we need 3 weeks of -40 for that, though.
