1:00 am

hurshy

1:00 am

jillibus

1:01 am

GreyWoulf

1:04 am

1:04 am

Jacula

Hiya, Wolfie - don't watch that clip from USA Wife Swap unlesss you want nightmares!

1:04 am

hurshy

lol

1:05 am

melonheadjujube

i had gotten the su7/8 - would have never looked for those slippery adjectives had you not been so witty . . . .;)

1:05 am

GreyWoulf

Jac -- I try to avoid all such reality shows at all costs -- I regard them as the death of TV as I used to know it

1:05 am

Jacula

That 'Gof Warrior' is truly firghtening! I ondr what harm she's done to her children.:(

1:06 am

hurshy

it wasn't so much that i was witty as that the first time i encountered either of those words as a child they were joined in that phrase, and so i always think of them together, it's just a lucky happenstance that the e's were in the grid :)

1:06 am

Atalante

ooo! got the 9 too!

1:06 am

FranMag

back from bath time.

1:06 am

girlfriday

any clues for the 9?

1:06 am

Jacula

Wolfie - like me, unlesss I encounter them on the Net, you do right.x

1:07 am

melonheadjujube

after my own heart jac - reality shows came in - like lampreys - to fill a gap during threatened actors and writers strikes. necessity being a mother - the networks found a cheap actorless/writerless cash cow.

1:07 am

FranMag

hi GF

1:07 am

hurshy

lampreys filled in for actors? how did i not notice that?

1:07 am

melonheadjujube

what a painter uses - as an adjective - superlative.

1:07 am

girlfriday

hello, fran.

1:07 am

melonheadjujube

oh, you know how skinny actors are these days - maybe it's the dental work?

1:08 am

Jacula

If happenstance isn't a dictionary word, it SHOULD be!

1:08 am

girlfriday

thanks, had all the others.

1:08 am

melonheadjujube

oh, girlfriday - that's one yummy latke!

1:08 am

hurshy

it is jac :) i just checked

1:08 am

girlfriday

I mean those related to that word

1:08 am

FranMag

yay! found the su7/8 combo

1:08 am

girlfriday

yes,it was my latke icon from days ago...

1:08 am

hurshy

and if we had happenstances, then, that would be the longest the stats could accomodate

1:09 am

hurshy

hi7, anyone got a clue?

1:09 am

melonheadjujube

and an iconic latke it is - golden, crispy not soggy - mmmmmm - latkes!

1:10 am

brandyjack

my stats don't show an Hi7....

1:10 am

FranMag

new phantom: hirsute

1:10 am

FranMag

i think it was a typo hursh

1:10 am

hurshy

oh... so somebody LIED!! ah well.

1:10 am

Jacula

But you must watch this woman on Yiu Tube - she's moe fundamental than the so-called fundamental fanatics. The hat inn her eyes is scarey. Dunno what Jesus or his Dad would make of her!

1:10 am

girlfriday

try lindasgourmetlatkes.com next hanukkah. Forget about making them yourselves, its a waste of time and too greasy. These are the best latkes Ive ever tasted and she ships them cooked and frozen, just reheat. I swear by them now

1:10 am

FranMag

i think melon said hi7 instead of hi!

1:11 am

hurshy

lol

1:11 am

melonheadjujube

oh, did i start that - i'm so sorry!

1:11 am

hurshy

grrr. decile, percentile, septile, stupid enable

1:11 am

Jacula

I missplet a lot too in my last post. Never mind!

1:12 am

Jacula

misspelt. LOL

1:12 am

melonheadjujube

gf - i don't think my kids would let me - tho non cooking this year since i'm recuperating.

1:12 am

FranMag

you got the point across jac, i understood every misspelt word

1:13 am

Jacula

God, or is that good, Fran?!

1:13 am

jillibus

gee, I have 8 grey tiles, lol

1:14 am

hurshy

hmm, i've gone from 200 words in an hour to 6 words in 15 minutes

1:14 am

melonheadjujube

i was grrr-ing about those exact same words, hursh - also ferrier - the guy who takes you across, not the blacksmith

1:14 am

jillibus

treer

1:14 am

hurshy

yes ferrier we had the other day and it was annoying then too

1:14 am

jillibus

ach

1:14 am

melonheadjujube

how ever can you do that & chat at the same time?????

1:15 am

hurshy

oh, me? i dunno, i guess the chat might have slowed me down in one way, but the mentions of long words help me find them, so it balances out

1:15 am

FranMag

ferris is irritating too, you'd think by now it would be a generic term.

1:16 am

melonheadjujube

i can understand that - i got my best jewelmaster score ever while on the phone.

1:16 am

girlfriday

goiong over to Lickety with 116 left...

1:17 am

hurshy

anyone have those 2 lonely r's?

1:17 am

Jacula

On he home front, what is set before me? Vaccuuming all of the house and finishing of shopping list. Oh, and going out to get car parts at some point before 5,30pm.

1:17 am

MVA

1:36 am

lynxxx

yes

2:27 am

sprite

great! I did not like yesterday's. Yeah, found a 7 already :)

2:28 am

Andree

how did you all enjoy yesterdays grid, I thought it was the pits and after 100 words rather than go to the list decided to give it a miss

2:28 am

mkl

Only one eight I haven't been able to find. Can someone clue the tr8?

2:28 am

Andree

rits

2:28 am

Andree

2:29 am

lynxxx

too advanced for me mkl

2:29 am

Andree

sorry, sorry , sorry

2:29 am

sprite

I struggled all the way through until 69 words or so, then hit the list. Pure stubbornness or addiction to not just give in, actually.

2:29 am

sprite

LOLOL Andree :)

2:29 am

mkl

Hated yesterdays. Love todays.

2:29 am

maniac_mitch

maniac_mitch

2:31 am

mkl

crap

2:31 am

sprite

Ah, thanks mitch, that is one that has passed this harbour before!

2:32 am

sprite

mkl: it also has a particular phase of sleeping in it.

2:32 am

maniac_mitch

used by greeks i think, maybe? had those funny eye things on the sides anyhow

2:32 am

mkl

Aha. Thanks sprite. Old Roman ship

2:33 am

maniac_mitch

roman/greek - same difference

2:33 am

mkl

23 to go, but I'm off for the night. Thanks for that clue. Luck to all.

2:34 am

sprite

2:35 am

Andree

2:36 am

sprite

F7, another kind of ship(s) ;)

2:38 am

lynxxx

I can see I am going to have to brush up on my nautical knowledge - do they both use the me4.5 at the end?

2:39 am

sprite

lynxxx - no, not at all, these are modern ships. They never travel far :)

2:39 am

hi kier

2:42 am

Andree

2:43 am

Andree

sorry again!

2:43 am

sprite

yeah, it is just a stupid thing in the layout of the site, Andree. It is not you.

2:45 am

kierlex

is babble delayed tnite?

2:46 am

kierlex

never mind...

2:46 am

sprite

not really. not here anyway

2:48 am

lynxxx

dont you love those Bs Andree - very Aust

2:48 am

kierlex

ahhk my hands are so cold i can'ttype.

2:49 am

Andree

yes lynxxx

2:49 am

2:49 am

FranMag

hi again babblers!

2:50 am

2:50 am

sprite

hey Fran!

2:50 am

Andree

hi fran

2:50 am

FranMag

hi andree! hi lynxxx! hi sprite! hi kier!

2:50 am

FranMag

kier is that keanu dressed as a snowman?

2:51 am

Andree

how funny that bu6/27 should appear at this time of year when it is so true

2:51 am

FranMag

oh, i'm seeing the wrong icon, your profile has keanu

2:51 am

kierlex

it's keanu with a santa hat.

2:52 am

FranMag

i'm still seeing a snowman in your small icon

2:53 am

kierlex

hmm. that was the Bumble from Rudolph the red nosed reindeer. He's not as smexy as keanu

2:53 am

sprite

refreshing or force-refreshing usually helps

2:53 am

FranMag

yes, i refreshed and there he is!

2:53 am

kierlex

what is force-refreshing?

2:54 am

FranMag

it gets rid of what's in your cache as well as doing a regular reload

2:54 am

sprite

in firefox it is control - F5 instead of F5 alone.

2:55 am

FranMag

for those times when the old icons are really "sticky"

2:56 am

kierlex

i have to laugh because i was thinking darth vader, like 'force-choke' My kids and I make fun of that with 'force-spank' and 'force-tickle' all the time.

2:56 am

sprite

LOL

2:56 am

FranMag

sounds cute kier!

2:57 am

FranMag

so you thought it was a refresh of the browser using the power of our mind?

2:57 am

kierlex

it's so cute to see them act out 'force-tickle'

2:57 am

Andree

bu7/40's after the digging word please

2:58 am

FranMag

andree, you can get a bu** under your saddle, it builds from that

2:58 am

kierlex

FranMag, well it was the first thought that came along. You must admit, force-refresh would be a hand add-on!

2:58 am

FranMag

very true kier! :-)

2:59 am

Andree

thx fran

2:59 am

FranMag

yw andree

ohmykeanu, i actually got the 9 letter word WITH NO HELP! wow!

3:02 am

sprite

ah, that too. WTG kier!

3:02 am

FranMag

woo hoo kier!

3:03 am

sprite

I don't have it yet :D

3:04 am

FranMag

i found it myself too sprite, so i know you'll have it in no time! :-)

3:04 am

sprite

it is such a pretty grid, I am positive I will be able to find it :)

3:06 am

kthdsn

morning all, thought I'd just pop in for a quick chat before I head off to work

3:06 am

sprite

hi there kate *hug*

3:07 am

kierlex

hi kt

3:07 am

Andree

hi kth

3:07 am

lynxxx

Hi Kate

3:08 am

kthdsn

had a bit of a bad night last night

3:08 am

FranMag

hi kate!

3:08 am

sprite

what was wrong, kat?

3:09 am

sprite

*kate

3:09 am

kthdsn

he had a bad night at work and came home late and in a bad mood, I know he can't be in a good mood all the time but I just didn't want to be there listening to it

3:10 am

kthdsn

and I keep asking him about the money he's meant to be getting and he doesn't seem to be trying very hard to get it, I know Â£20k is a lot to borrow from a friend but he's not going to get it if he doesn't go ask the guy

3:10 am

sprite

I can imagine. Coping with a partner's bad mood is for when there is still a good relationship, right? Now he better hold it to himself.

3:10 am

lynxxx

no more bad nites Kate! onward full steam ahead . Let him wallow in his own problems - he's made them all

3:11 am

kthdsn

he's sick of me nagging about it and I'm sick of waiting for him to get it, it's the last piece of my puzzle, and it's a bloody big piece

3:11 am

sprite

I hope he will do it, kate, but keep in the back of your mind that perhaps he won't. When it is about money, things tend to become ugly.

3:14 am

kthdsn

without the money I can't even manage to continue here, I've handed my notice in at work I'm only doing 3 more days

3:15 am

kthdsn

I've done it all the wrong way around I know, but I just want to get on a plane and get to a new start

3:15 am

sprite

I still think you should do well to get good council on this, kate. Some help would do you good.

3:16 am

kthdsn

counselling?

3:16 am

Andree

a lawyer

3:16 am

sprite

Some lawyer

3:16 am

kthdsn

oh i get it

3:16 am

kthdsn

was confused for a moment

3:17 am

kthdsn

I don't want to get all legal, I can't keep our friendship through a legal battle

3:17 am

Andree

counselling is good kth but will keep until you get to your mum"s

3:18 am

sprite

counselling might be nice - once you are settled in a new place and have time to think about that. But for now: go legal. If he hasn't arranged for that loan so far, he probably won't. He knows you have given your notice, so there is haste!

3:18 am

sprite

We are of one mind on this, Andree :)

3:19 am

Andree

if he isn't providing you with money to look after yourself and girls now let alone to get away, how can you call him friend

3:19 am

Andree

I see that sprite

3:19 am

kthdsn

he is providing the money to look after us, but his wages are not enough to sustain us long term without me earning

3:20 am

kthdsn

it's just frustrating waiting for him to get on and go see this guy, it's got to be daunting going to bed so much money from a gay guy who fancies you...

3:21 am

sprite

kate, he is not acting as a friend should. You have to protect your interest and that of your kids. In divorce, there isn't much friendship found.

3:21 am

kthdsn

beg not bed

3:21 am

kthdsn

we're not divorcing

3:22 am

sprite

splitting up, anyway.

3:22 am

kthdsn

well not at the moment anyway

3:23 am

Angb

Evening all.

3:23 am

sprite

hey Angb :)

3:23 am

FranMag

hey angb!

3:23 am

kthdsn

there are not many things that I do in a conventional manner and this separation isn't going to be conventional either, we are working hard together to remain friends and I'm sure that we will

3:23 am

ren8

Hello everyone, nice size grid again

3:23 am

Andree

hi angb

3:23 am

kthdsn

hi ang and ren

3:24 am

Andree

hi ren8

3:24 am

sprite

hi ren, yes it is, but it is much much nicer than yesterday's.

3:24 am

FranMag

hi ren8, but much friendlier than yesterday's

3:24 am

Angb

Hi ren8

3:24 am

FranMag

sprite, i almost typed nicer too

3:24 am

sprite

LOL - not the first time we sing in unison, Fran ;)

3:25 am

dorky

is there an easy way to take this list to lickety's??

3:25 am

kthdsn

I've finished my rant for the day now :)

3:25 am

FranMag

well, you know what they say about great minds sprite.

3:25 am

sprite

true fran ;)

3:25 am

FranMag

you mean besides typing them all in dorky?

3:26 am

dorky

yeah, it would be nice fran

3:26 am

dorky

my monkeys have made my fingers lazy

3:26 am

FranMag

you can always make a suggestion to lickety, i never thought about it, just always type them in again

3:27 am

dorky

typing them here then there plus all the chat and the not-words makes me a little lazy

3:28 am

Angb

I tend to leave the list until later - and then just tick off the words I have - working thru each two letter category - and fill in the holes. So it breaks the typing up

3:28 am

dorky

not that i chat much, but oh well - guess i need a borroca or something

3:28 am

kthdsn

I guess I should go and get ready for work, I'll probably be back here in about an hour as there doesn't seem to be much to do

3:28 am

FranMag

you can always checkmark the boxes on lickety's list without typing the whole word

3:28 am

FranMag

then just type in the ones that you're not sure where they go on the list

3:29 am

FranMag

okay kate, see you later

3:29 am

dorky

yeah but then i get lost and it makes it easier to locate a word if you can see the surrounding ones

3:29 am

sprite

later, kate

3:29 am

FranMag

lol, which is what angb already said

3:29 am

dorky

bye kth and good luck

3:29 am

ren8

see you later kate

3:29 am

Angb

bye kth.

3:30 am

FranMag

don't know what to tell you dorky. :-)

3:30 am

Angb

We were typing at the same time Fran

3:30 am

Angb

You could always forget the list dorky - see what percentage you can get each day LOL

3:30 am

dorky

thanks anyways, maybe 'stop being such a shlub' :D

3:30 am

FranMag

ah, another great mind! :-)

3:30 am

sprite

it almost takes more words to find a way to avoid having to type them into the list, than actually doing it :P

3:31 am

Angb

I wouldn

3:31 am

FranMag

good point sprite!

3:31 am

Angb

I wouldn't go that far Fran ... hmmmm

3:31 am

dorky

yeah, i have 72 left and just being lazy i guess, lol too tru sprite

3:32 am

FranMag

angb, are you being self-deprecating or insulting me? ;-)

3:32 am

sprite

as non-native speaker I am amused by L7/32 and S7/32 - so little difference in spelling and so much in pronunciation!

3:32 am

Angb

I'm exhausted tonite. School prizegiving at kid's school. I am chair of the Board. So had to make speeches. So I am on the downer after that - so not insulting you - just describing my abilities.

3:33 am

sprite

Anyone who can pull that off, is smart as h*ll, Angb :)

3:33 am

FranMag

that's right, how did it go angb?

3:35 am

Angb

I have no idea how it went... it was quite horrible because I had to make a speech about that sick mother ... and nearly cracked up on stage ... then when I sat down one of her daughters was crying just in front of my chair ... Aahhhh.

3:35 am

FranMag

sprite, i don't have either of those! can you tell me the second letters please?

3:35 am

sprite

Se and Le, Fran. Just find them at your L so they won't give you an S.

3:36 am

FranMag

aww, that was tough angb, i wouldn't be able to do it, i tear up and blubber during hallmark commercials.

3:36 am

Andree

thx sprite

3:36 am

FranMag

thanks sprite! great clues

3:37 am

sprite

That's really tough, Angb. But for what it's worth, I think that seeing how it touches you is a consolation for the daughter, it is not a bad thing.

3:37 am

FranMag

i had the first parts of both of those, didn't connect the ending!

3:38 am

sprite

Took me ages to see them too.

3:38 am

Angb

Yes, well I believe crying is good, however never like to be the cause of it. The poor wee girls have much more to go yet

3:39 am

Andree

must have been a very difficult evening angb

3:40 am

FranMag

good thing it's a nice grid and not yesterday's monster, hopefully you can ease your mind a little.

3:40 am

Angb

Yes, but more so for the family. All the aunties and uncles were there to support the two girls ... poor things. They have the tougher job - Not a nice Xmas for them.

3:41 am

Angb

Yesterday's was awful - I think I gave up after getting 40 words... never mind enuf chat about me.

3:41 am

sprite

The roughest job, true. I am glad they have so much support from their family. ((((Angb))))

3:42 am

Angb

Thanx for that sprite

3:43 am

FranMag

angb, i was the first to do quote-puzzler today, it's so weird not to have other scores to gauge the difficulty of a particular puzzle.

3:44 am

Angb

Yes, I often am early ... if I beat bozhawk I think yippee. But I've been busy so doing it in the morning. I do worse!

3:44 am

FranMag

then there is the pressure of knowing at least 9 other people will see your score if you do really badly!

3:44 am

Angb

LOL Fran - not you -

3:45 am

FranMag

there have been a few ugly scores angb! :-)

3:45 am

Angb

Should have seen mine this morning. I did secret word and have no idea where the time went. LOL

3:46 am

FranMag

that's my least favorite puzzle

3:46 am

sprite

I love them all, but haven't played for ages

3:46 am

FranMag

okay, 56 left to do tomorrow

3:47 am

FranMag

i'll see all you great people later!

Angb

There are days are like that

4:04 am

Andree

closing the office between Christmas and new year am so looking forward to a break

4:05 am

Angb

Good on you Andree - when you have your own business it is hard to take a break

4:05 am

Andree

4:06 am

Angb

Andree! LOL

4:06 am

Andree

might have been last Christmas

4:07 am

Andree

never mind I will get a nice long rest when I'm 6 foot under, lol

4:07 am

Angb

Andree you make me feel really bad - I get 9 weeks holidays a year with my job

4:09 am

Andree

angb I take every tuesday off to play golf and wednesday to babysit so I am just whinging, something I don't do too often

4:10 am

Angb

That sounds great Andree - and a good w(h)ine never hurt anyone

4:12 am

Andree

4:16 am

jg26

angb, just keep playing with all those suffixes and you'll get it

4:16 am

Angb

Are the fires near either of you?

4:18 am

lynxxx

happily no - in the country but the smoke layer is over the city as well - and has been for a good week or so

4:18 am

jg26

no angb, but the wind just keeps blowing the smoke over Melbourne. It's so hazy, sometimes we have to put our headlights on! awful for breathing

4:19 am

Angb

Oh no - we are getting lots of coverage - a lot about the Kiwis who were injured.

4:20 am

jg26

Yeah, that was terrible. They certainly put their lives on the line for everyone. It takes a certain special type of person I think.

4:20 am

Angb

For sure - I think you can say that for all firefighters - they are marvellous

4:22 am

lynxxx

3 cheers for all firefighters esp those volunteers !!!!

8:16 am

kthdsn

I don't see it, I'm thinking bats and butterflys, am I close?

8:16 am

bunnyvicious

Moving was a great incentive to get rid of those things I knew I'd never use again. I kept the garbage men busy for weeks. I even cried over some of the stuff I threw out, but it was needed, and I'm sappy. Those trash men thought I was nutty! There were people in my yard in the middle of the night hauling things away.

8:17 am

Uneaixoise

sorry, it's a little 'person' with wings

8:17 am

kthdsn

lol bunny thankfully I don't have to deal with that part, our house looks like a bomb hit and I'm just going to leave with the stuff I want

8:18 am

Uneaixoise

I cleaned out a bunch of stuff this summer --donated to a benefit sale for one of our local dog rescues

8:19 am

Uneaixoise

PLUS I'm a firm believer in regifting!

8:19 am

bunnyvicious

Une, that's a good idea. I didn't think any of mine was worth donating, but I guess some people did. i took some of the clothes to Goodwill. I need the beds and dressers I set out would get picked up by people who needed them.

8:49 am

8:54 am

EvaNadine

i definitely wont be finishing this one, but at least its not as aggravating as yesterdays!

8:54 am

bunnyvicious

I dunno, you might finish, alot of the words run build off eachother.

8:55 am

EvaNadine

man, for the want of a second "L"!!
shrill, shrills, shriller, shrillers, thrill, thrills, thriller, thrillers, sill, sills, hill, hills, till, tills....
im sure there are so many more, but i keep phantoming all of those!

8:56 am

sparklygem

lol!

8:56 am

sparklygem

does anyone have the le7/32?

8:56 am

raelite

flowery hawaiian thing + being certain about something

8:57 am

sparklygem

thanks rae, another obvious word I didn't spot!

8:57 am

raelite

it's all good...you'll get better at seeing them. I find pushing my chair back and looking from a distance helps

8:58 am

sparklygem

yeah I think it's time for another break actually, I have a few bits of housework to finish then back for my last 33!

8:58 am

bunnyvicious

I like to beat on the monitor until the letters move into place and show me the words.

8:58 am

sparklygem

bye everyone :)

8:58 am

sparklygem

lol bunny, sounds like a plan!

8:59 am

Mom

Bye Sparklygem

8:59 am

raelite

they frown on that at work though...

8:59 am

bunnyvicious

Bye SParkly

8:59 am

EvaNadine

man, ive been babbling for over 2 years now + i still never see the long ones without hints...heh

8:59 am

Merk

But Evan, we still have so many ier, iest, er, ers left. We would miss 1/3 of the words if we took away those potential suffixes. My biggest decision is whether to put an s behind the er or make it est.

8:59 am

shorty

rofl @ bunny!!

8:59 am

Merk

Bye Sparkly

9:00 am

EvaNadine

merl -- not sure to darn you or thank you -- not sure id noticed all of those suffixes!

9:00 am

raelite

!! evan said a worddd

9:00 am

EvaNadine

hah, i DID!

9:00 am

Merk

It's been a long time since I've twisted and turned around so many e and r tiles.

9:01 am

EvaNadine

unfortunately, it was one i already had...

9:01 am

raelite

oh frick!

9:01 am

raelite

oh well...

9:01 am

EvaNadine

dont forget the "more so" version of that word too. :)

9:02 am

raelite

yeah...lots of conjugating today

9:02 am

Merk

I'm not that far down yet, so I had to scour Evan's sentence to find the word. It's hard to chat without using a word now and then.

9:02 am

raelite

lol..it's true...I have a very good firend by that name so I always see it

9:04 am

bunnyvicious

I thought that "ish" ending would be used a lot.

9:04 am

Book Doctor Gwen

hi all, who can clue the 3rd BU? it's a bu6/27

9:04 am

EvaNadine

bunny -- there is the green stuff you put on a hot dog...

9:04 am

raelite

mmmm hot dogs...

9:04 am

bunnyvicious

That's the only one I have... I think. It hurts when I do.

9:04 am

Merk

That's what makes this grid better than yesterday's. Few longer words built on words around it. This grid flows. You get a base word and automatically can find three or four more in some cases.

9:04 am

Book Doctor Gwen

evan, thanks!

9:06 am

raelite

gwen the only bu 6.27 I have is: public transpotation + I"d like fr*** with my supersize

9:06 am

EvaNadine

YW gwen

9:06 am

bunnyvicious

Gwen, my third bu is a 6/27, but I'm not done with the b's, might not be the one you need. It's just like the br 6/27 before it, but pluraled instead of comparative.

9:07 am

bunnyvicious

The defs are someone or something that fill in a hole in the ground.

9:07 am

Book Doctor Gwen

tanx, guys, but them's ain't it. 8-)

9:08 am

EvaNadine

im not close to done, but the 3rd BU i have (which is a 6/27) is what a pirate does to his treasure

9:09 am

bunnyvicious

You can double the middle cons in that treasure one for a bu 7/40 :)

9:10 am

EvaNadine

theres an ME7-8 combo that i hope we all are this holiday season. ;)

9:11 am

raelite

yay 5 sleeps till santa!

9:12 am

EvaNadine

im generally quite happy this season...unfortunately, the BF is going through some tough times right now, so its tough to be in a good mood when someone you love is suffering... :/

9:13 am

bunnyvicious

My kids are like little hyenas. They walk by the tree and drool and stare at the presents. We just set out a santa present and fill the stockings on 12/24. I don't know if they can make it!

9:13 am

raelite

that's true, but being positive and happy will help more than any medicine, believe me!

9:13 am

raelite

do you let your kids open a gift christmas eve, bunny?

9:14 am

bunnyvicious

Usually we let them open one, but they only got 7 apiece this year, so it's gonna have to wait til Christmas morning.

9:15 am

EvaNadine

bunny -- my parents did the same thing!
there were family gifts + then certain ones from santa -- actually, i think i STILL get gifts from santa...haha

BTW -- did i know you were only 27? *ponders*

9:15 am

raelite

:) my parents used to give us new pyjamas to open christmas eve

rae -- i hope so. im trying to be happy enough to help him along, but not be so happy that it reminds him how rough things are for HIM, yknow?
i think he appreciates my being around to help him through it all...

9:15 am

bunnyvicious

That is an excellent idea! Pj's to wear that night, and they all love pj's and fuzzy slippers, you've inspired me!

9:16 am

raelite

exactly

9:16 am

raelite

thank my parents...

9:16 am

bunnyvicious

Eva, how old did you think I am?

9:16 am

raelite

we got new pj's to wear that morning for pics etc and we got to open a gift and it was something they had to get us anyway

9:17 am

EvaNadine

bunny -- i dunno, just most of the people on babble are about twice my age, heh (im also 27!)

9:18 am

Merk

I am missing a li 4,4. It comes either right after the untruths or before the speech impediment.

9:18 am

raelite

I'm 26!

9:18 am

wurdygurl

oh gawd...now I feel ancient...I am almost double an adults age....***whimper****

9:18 am

EvaNadine

merk -- french for "book"

9:18 am

bunnyvicious

I tell the kids I make monthly payments to Santa for their Santa presents, which are usually more expensive than the others. Got them all MP3's this year.
I'm only 27 for a few more days, thirty is comin up fast!

9:19 am

raelite

harp like instrument,

9:19 am

EvaNadine

wurdy -- *I* never claimed to be an adult!
quit calling me names!!
*hehe*

9:19 am

raelite

italian money

9:19 am

wurdygurl

that really floors me just goes to prove young is in the brain and not the number

9:20 am

Merk

My dictionary says French for book is livre or cahier

9:20 am

raelite

bunny, I'm sure your kids will be thrilled with their gifts...

9:20 am

wurdygurl

bunny---I am one of those nuts that gets up the day after thanksgiving at the butcrack of dawn and goes shopping. This year I got my kids an entire computer for $187 and mp3 players for $30

9:20 am

EvaNadine

oh yeah, guess my french is rusty....remove the V ;)

9:20 am

Merk

I have the one that is almost like Italian money. Is that French for book? So I still don't have my missing li 4,4.

9:20 am

raelite

french for bed

9:22 am

Merk

That is lit or couche. I'm using the plural of one of those. It should be right before or after the one that is like Italian money.

9:22 am

raelite

lish

9:22 am

sherb

li4/4 - like the currency, but change the final vowel...

9:22 am

EvaNadine

merk -- its the french book minus the "V"

9:22 am

bunnyvicious

Nooo, I don't even leave the house on Black Friday unless someone is injured! I start shopping in January. I present a week when I get groceries and $30 on a Walmart gift card so I can but clothes that will fit around October. I'm wrapped and done before Thanksgiving.

9:22 am

raelite

that's not one of them...fyi...

9:23 am

bunnyvicious

Yeah, i tried it.

9:23 am

raelite

lol

9:23 am

EvaNadine

wow bunny. *said in total awe and envy*

9:23 am

Merk

I guess I will stay stuck for awhile then.

9:23 am

EvaNadine

merk -- did you see my clue?

9:24 am

bunnyvicious

I'm a little too organized, maybe a bit obsessive. My clothes are color coordinated and the DVD's are alphabetized.

9:24 am

sherb

Merk - li4/4 - like the currency, but change the final vowel...

9:24 am

wurdygurl

I love black friday. We have this best buy around here that offers a personal shopper...I save my money all year like you do..and then make an appt with tthe personal shopper. The night before they pull all the items and i dont wait in line overnight. and it does not cost any thing extra. it is beautiful. and they give you coffee

9:24 am

EvaNadine

hah bunny -- my clothes are color-coordinated too! in the closet, anyway

9:25 am

Atalante

*pokes head back in* what's black friday?

9:25 am

raelite

ohh...black friday....I've always to go south for black frriday

9:25 am

bunnyvicious

You can usually get Black Friday sales online too, so I can order and have them mailed.

9:25 am

EvaNadine

atalante -- the day after thanksgiving in the US is called Black Friday

9:25 am

raelite

it's like boxing day Ata

9:25 am

wurdygurl

day after thanksgiving with all the nutty people go shopping really early in the am

9:25 am

EvaNadine

its the day all the holiday sales kick in + people go shopping like crazy -- thus taking the stores from being "in the red" to "in the black"

9:26 am

Atalante

oh! ty! :)

9:26 am

Atalante

never heard of that one before

9:26 am

raelite

don't you guys have crazy sales on boxing day?

9:26 am

bunnyvicious

Tis a day of bloody noses and little old ladied finding amazing bursts of strenght as they beat i Walmart with the 42" TV to save $10.

9:26 am

Atalante

utterly! huge ones!

9:26 am

raelite

that's black friday...UK style

9:27 am

Atalante

do you do black friday round 2 on boxing day?

9:27 am

raelite

only it's BEFORE christmas...what a concept!

9:27 am

raelite

they don't have boxing day

9:27 am

EvaNadine

we dont have boxing day over here.
though there are always great after-christmas sales.

9:28 am

Atalante

so is the day after christmas just a normal day then?

9:28 am

bunnyvicious

...beat you in Walmart.... my fingers went nutso

9:28 am

EvaNadine

yep. a day for recovery...heh

9:28 am

sherb

we have sales before Christmas now... some shops are doing so badly they have regular sales...

9:28 am

Atalante

do people go back to work on "boxing day"?

9:28 am

raelite

here, the night of christmas, everyone lines up outside ourr equivelent to best buy and wal mart for all the "deals"

9:29 am

bunnyvicious

If you shop throughout the year, you can usually find sales that are equal to it without the hectic rush, or clearance items. I get alot of discounts from shopping online too.

9:29 am

EvaNadine

atalante -- most people take the day off...the government doesnt give us the day off, so some people do have to go back

9:29 am

raelite

stile

9:29 am

bunnyvicious

They have great sales on Christmas items the day after Chritmas.

9:30 am

raelite

woops...that's aword...

9:30 am

sherb

I agree bunny...

9:30 am

EvaNadine

thanks rae -- didnt have that one yet. :)

9:30 am

Merk

So that gives you the me****** Christmas of all!

9:30 am

raelite

np

9:30 am

bunnyvicious

More Rae, more! I had that one.

9:30 am

EvaNadine

yeah, you can get great deals on wrapping paper + cards and decorations for the next year!

9:30 am

raelite

I'll try harder next time, bunny

9:31 am

EvaNadine

rae, feel free to accidentally post a coupla 8s ;)

9:31 am

raelite

k...will do :)

9:31 am

sparklygem

I always buy my christmas cards for next year in the sales

9:32 am

Atalante

so do I :)

9:32 am

sherb

eva - have you got the 8 which is most like your president?

9:32 am

Merk

Yes, Sherb, isn't that a cute one!

9:32 am

bunnyvicious

I like to get the lighted decorations or the inflatable ones, they are expensive, but 1/2 to 3/4 off after Christmas.

9:32 am

Merk

And I gave you a good me 8 clue a few moments ago.

9:33 am

raelite

have you seen that inflatable one with the moving carosel?

9:33 am

EvaNadine

theres a Dollar Store by my house that actually has really nice stuff -- i buy all my wrapping supplies there. the cards are so-so, but definitely good for keeping on hand, just in case. and i even buy small gifts for coworkers or for my dance girls there...

9:33 am

bunnyvicious

Yes... I want it! Hubby denied me.

9:34 am

bunnyvicious

Dollar General is the "cheapy" store here, they had some great stuff this year if you went in to buy as soon as they put out the holiday stuff.

9:34 am

raelite

lol...it's freaky huge! our neighbourhood associaton frowns on decorations bigger than car...

9:34 am

Merk

I have arrived at the dreaded re- words. Anything I should know before plunging in?

9:34 am

EvaNadine

most like my president? "dumbest" and "stupidest" arent in todays grid....

9:35 am

EvaNadine

oh, heh, i get it now -- yes, i have that one already sherb. :)

9:35 am

Atalante

they should be though, evan

9:35 am

raelite

it's hard to believe he'll be in till 2008...

9:35 am

raelite

he'll have been pres for almost 10 years

9:36 am

EvaNadine

yep, 2 terms. 8 years.
8 looooooooooooooooooooooong years.

9:36 am

Merk

Esp. when I had a son in Iraq.

9:36 am

bunnyvicious

At least his brother has said he isn't running, for now anyway.

9:36 am

raelite

I wonder how long it will take to clean up after he leaves...

9:36 am

sherb

at least you limit yours to two four-year terms... some of ours stay on well beyond their sell-by date...

9:37 am

Merk

Who knows, we might have a woman next time ... Clinton or Rice.

9:37 am

raelite

yes sherb...our pm was in for 14 years

9:37 am

bunnyvicious

I'd have liked to see Clinton in another term, but the two term limit has it's use when you want em' out.

9:38 am

raelite

"President Rice"...hmmm

9:38 am

bunnyvicious

I don't think rice will run, but I've heard a lot of rumors about Clinton going for it. I have to admit, having beem watching the news much. I didn't even vote in last two elections, I'm from Texas. My vote would not have counted.

9:39 am

bunnyvicious

My brain and fingers are not working together today.

9:39 am

sherb

no candidate I've voted for has ever won... but I still keep voting...

9:40 am

EvaNadine

i think its interesting that 2 of the strong-ish candidates with their hat in the ring so far are a woman + a black man...neither of which have held the office before.
i have researched yet what any of the candidates stand for, but i do think it would be amazing to see THAT kind of change in the office...

9:40 am

diem

Mari you with us?

9:41 am

bunnyvicious

And isn't the black man jewish, I'm not sure, just heard. That would be a first I believe.

i'm so sorry scarlet :(

72 Temple Owl

but this cancer kills quickly

12:16 pm

Scarlet

It usually does take only three or four months... Mom was in a clinical trial for some types of chemotherapy, and survived for a year and a half. Thanks for the compassion, Hursh

12:17 pm

hurshy

to quote the wicked witch of the west... "what a world, what a world"

12:18 pm

Scarlet

The odd thing about this invasion is that size doesn't matter... the cancer can have the perimeter of a pinprick, but be deadly. Life is very strange... but immutable

12:18 pm

kthdsn

hello, scarlett I'm so sorry to hear that, it must be hard for you

12:19 pm

Scarlet

Hi, Kate. Sometimes it stabs my heart, but then I get my head on straight and remember the wonderful times we spent and the most precious gift of all: Mom taught me how to die with dignity and total class. How irreplaceable! How are you, dear?

12:20 pm

EvaNadine

afternoon babblers...

kthdsn

I'm holding up, things aren't quite going to plan which is very frustrating, but he's going to go talk about getting my money tonight which will be a weight off my mind

12:22 pm

1:42 pm

is it true that the boar's head carol comes from an incident in which an oxford student was attacked by a wild boar; the student then stuffed his aristotle in the boar's mouth, choking it. wanting to retrieve his book, he cut off the boar's head and brought it back to college, where it was featured for christmas dinner?

Kate, I try to listen to all kinds of music... I used to hate country-western, but then was hired as a CW disc jockey and learned to love it. Was always a classic rock fan, and classical music as well. Now I'm listening to Jewel, Eminem, and some other rappers. Also a new singer Vienna Teng - she reminds me of some of the folk singers of the 60's-70's.

M.P.

You're very forgiving

6:56 pm

hurshy

you didn't do anything

6:56 pm

M.P.

OH, well ... you clarified again, I guess. Just a general compliment then

6:57 pm

hurshy

lol

6:57 pm

M.P.

What does LOL mean ... I should know? You can clarify

6:58 pm

hurshy

laughing out loud

6:58 pm

Sherylr1961

omg, i made it, all the re's done, that was a slog

6:58 pm

M.P.

Oh ... good thing I know, now I can use it. LOL at the ideas that I thought of

6:59 pm

Scrabbler

Hello Babblers. Looks like it's the MP and hurshy show here, with sheryl and me interrupting

6:59 pm

Jacula

I'm here, too. Just deep in grid...

6:59 pm

hurshy

how are you "sc"?

7:00 pm

M.P.

I guess so ... we had a dissagreement about my age and now we're just fooling around.

7:00 pm

NatLT

me too, but just starting out

7:00 pm

hurshy

still don't believe you, but don't take it personally

7:01 pm

M.P.

Well ... maybe I'm really good then!

7:02 pm

M.P.

(Not at lying, but with grammar)

7:02 pm

hurshy

exactly - if i'm wrong, it is a massive compliment.

7:02 pm

bichon

the 2nd re 6/21?

7:02 pm

M.P.

Yeah! Thanks, hurshy!

7:03 pm

hurshy

the cheese is solid again, we'll have to re6 it!

7:03 pm

bichon

thanx hurshy

7:04 pm

Scrabbler

Sorry for the delay, hurshy, I am off in another window checking my e-mail. Yes, mousey refers to me as "sc"--certainly easire to type.

7:04 pm

hurshy

i know i said HOW are you, not are you :)

7:04 pm

M.P.

Mousey ... she didn't believe I was eleven.

7:04 pm

Scrabbler

Easier than typing "easier" too.

7:06 pm

M.P.

We'll have this dissagreement going on for a long time ... until I get to be a pro babble member and put up my picture for you to see!

7:07 pm

hurshy

even then...

7:07 pm

Dorens

hello... back for the last 32

7:07 pm

hurshy

heya dorens

7:08 pm

M.P.

even then, you will be totally wrong. You know, I could get my tech teacher to get on here and tell you that I really am just eleven with a good grammar history!

7:08 pm

Natasha

hi all. can someone clue the br 7 and the br 8?

7:08 pm

hurshy

it's not worth worrying about, M.P. you are nice to chat with either way.

7:08 pm

Scrabbler

I am OK--had an inspiring afternoon volunteering at the cancer institute.

7:09 pm

Scrabbler

MP--you're really 11?

7:09 pm

hurshy

br7 more like a br5, and br8 is most.

7:09 pm

Scrabbler

Hi Dorens, Peri, Jacula...

7:09 pm

M.P.

Yeah ...I'm eleven ... not too good aat babble either

7:09 pm

Scrabbler

TY for the br clues

7:10 pm

Scrabbler

But, you can get better AND increase your "word power"!

7:10 pm

M.P.

I think I'll try that, thanks, but it's only my second puzzle ... I'm trying

7:10 pm

Scrabbler

MP--mousey is a boy that chats here a lot.

7:11 pm

Natasha

thanks for the br clues

7:11 pm

Dorens

hi hurshy, scrabbler (usually only run into you on weekends)--don't see mousey but hi M.P.

7:11 pm

M.P.

I know I met him in the chatterbox once

7:12 pm

Dorens

what

7:12 pm

M.P.

I'm new, Dorens, never met you before

7:12 pm

Dorens

what's wrong with ferris? as in ferris wheel? i have no idea what that second fe 6/27 is and i want it to be ferris (even if it doesn't fit alphabetically)

7:12 pm

Scrabbler

Dorens--I usually do some Babble in the early AM before work, so around 6-7 AM, and then again in the evening.

7:13 pm

hurshy

it's named after the guy who invented it and hence is still considered proper

7:13 pm

Dorens

well, I'm harmless mp.. nice to meet you... are you 11? what grade does that make?

7:13 pm

Dorens

aha... well, nice to see you whenever.....

7:13 pm

M.P.

I'm in sixth ... but I have talent levels, my teachers say, in eighth and seventh grade

7:13 pm

Scrabbler

That fe6,27 was clued earlier today--weird one. fe + part of the eye (***s) + vowel

7:13 pm

Dorens

makes sense hurshy, but can you count all the strange words that should be names but have made it into the enable dictionary?

7:14 pm

Sherylr1961

me again guys can someone clue the se 7 for me

7:14 pm

Dorens

ah, mp then you are a gifted sixth grader... a difficult place to be sometimes...

7:14 pm

hurshy

hey i explain what enable is thinking but i don't UNDERSTAND what enable is thinking.

7:14 pm

hurshy

7:14 pm

Sherylr1961

7:14 pm

Dorens

M.P.

7:15 pm

M.P.

7:15 pm

Scrabbler

7:15 pm

Dorens

sounds like someone who works on clothes. sheryl

7:16 pm

Scrabbler

MP--just read a lot on your own, in order to learn more and to challenge yourself.

7:17 pm

M.P.

That's what I do ... I must have 2000 books , I'm thinking maybe cyber school next year where you can set your own levels

7:18 pm

Scrabbler

Good for you, being ambitious and self-directed! How did you find Babble?

7:18 pm

bichon

I don't get the 2nd se 7. It's the act of epilepsy?

7:18 pm

hurshy

he's reading the odyssey in school now...

7:18 pm

hurshy

it's the thing you get when you have epilepsy, british spelling.

7:18 pm

Dorens

different second consonant though , bichon. like maybe british version

7:18 pm

Scrabbler

bichon--use snake instead of zed

7:18 pm

Scrabbler

That is serious reading, hurshy.

7:19 pm

M.P.

at the level of the highest 7th graders ... suprissed you remembered that, hurshy

7:19 pm

bichon

Minveryork

Hello stidmama! Glad to see you're ok.You have been missed! So are you going through Babble withdrawal?

7:41 pm

smooth_pappa

check on the bottomo... I'm just barely on the list.

7:41 pm

Minveryork

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

7:41 pm

Scarlet

Very good, Sherylr, I know that feeling and it is irreplaceable. No, it isn't easy, but you DID IT!

7:42 pm

stidmama

hello Min! good to see you, too! How's the househunting? (and withdrawal doesn't begin to describe it... have also been cloistered with two antsy kids, home on vacation...)

7:42 pm

Minveryork

Hell NaLT!How are you doing? Welcome to the puzzle!

7:42 pm

stidmama

well pappa! there you are, your name in lights!

7:43 pm

MayneGuy

Hi, Minveryork, ready to get to work!

7:43 pm

Minveryork

Congratulations Sherylr1961 on fireworks!Good for U

7:43 pm

stidmama

okay, so if I drop off chat suddenly, I am booting Tom's computer because mine died. I think I left my power cord at the library...

7:44 pm

stidmama

thank Mayne -- is Kahlua okay? It was SO scary -- trees and branches falling everywhere... our home was untouched, but several others on our street are damaged and one is uninhabitable

7:44 pm

smooth_pappa

stid... that's an easy one to maintain... I think. lol

7:44 pm

stidmama

stidmatt is online, btw, HEY KIDDO! are you babbling yet?

7:45 pm

Minveryork

Hello MayneGirl! How are you? Welcome to the puzzle

7:45 pm

stidmama

oops. he hollers back that his best friend in Tbilisi just sent him an email and he is too busy to say hi at the moment...'

7:45 pm

NatLT

anyone seen leslieann lately?

7:45 pm

MayneGuy

Kahlua is fine - very odd - storm passed right over Mayne Island - so we left warm, lighted house last Friday to go down to cold, dark house in Tacoma! But her power came on early Saturday morning. But Gig Harbor and area still without

7:46 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

so, who knows how to un-update one's copy of Mozilla Firefox? I updated it today and now the menus refuse to open

7:46 pm

MayneGuy

Hi MIn - so is everyone ready for Christmas!!!!!

7:46 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

mayne, stop with the pressure LOL

7:46 pm

stidmama

yes, Jill said they barely had a breeze on Salt Spring... glad Kahlua's power came on quickly! otherwise 'twould have been a cold visit!

7:47 pm

stidmama

Yes, this morning they said over 100,000 still without power in Western Washington

7:47 pm

Minveryork

I'm taking a break from house hunting until after the holidays. I have so much to do for Christmas and not ready. I leave for Vermont for a week on Friday and will be w/out Babble for a week. I'll be going through withdrawal also stidmama! Not looking forward to it!

7:47 pm

stidmama

really hoping AprilD is okay -- don't suppose anyone's heard from her this week?

7:47 pm

smooth_pappa

going skiing in vermont min?

7:47 pm

MayneGuy

Her hubby says first time he can remember in Tacoma losing power

7:47 pm

stidmama

oh Min -- perhaps you can invent an excuse to get to a library with internet? LOL

7:48 pm

MayneGuy

Broke down - bought an artificial tree today - small island - not organized (me) oh well!

7:48 pm

stidmama

I think you'll have a good time, though, Min -- Vermont must be lovely this time of year, though I doubt it looks as good as the picture postcards!

7:49 pm

smooth_pappa

it would if I took my camera out there stid. ;)

7:49 pm

stidmama

We have an artificial tree and the only way you really know is that I can still breathe! *grin* allergies can be so inconvenient.

7:49 pm

dilly

Hi all ---showing Glenn how I k

7:49 pm

stidmama

well, pappa -- you see that's why you are a pro and I an amateur: you can work magic with that gadget!

7:49 pm

stidmama

hi dilly! I guess you weathered the storm okay too?

7:49 pm

MayneGuy

Hey dilly - thought you were making dinner!

7:50 pm

Scrabbler

Gwen--that happened to me when Firefox updates for me. It was the firewall access issue--go into the security system to let it know that Firefox is OK

7:50 pm

Minveryork

Not much snow there now. It's been extremely warm for December(50s).It's too warm to even make snow!

7:50 pm

smooth_pappa

lol i don't think I can call myself a pro. I don't make nearly enough money at my photography to be considered a professional

7:50 pm

stidmama

hi Scrabbler! so a miracle happened and I am online FROM HOME!!!!

7:50 pm

MayneGuy

TG kids are older and not here till too late to complain! I'm going to love this little tree - no needles all over the house and NO watering

7:51 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

scrabbler, i don't use firewall software, i have a router. do you mean something windows does for my "benefit"?

7:51 pm

stidmama

Like I don't make enough at greeting cards to be called an artist? *grin* would just be happy someday to make back expenses, but the creative urge is too great.

7:51 pm

dilly

Well, I am -- but not chewing gum, so can chat too.

7:51 pm

Scrabbler

Hi Stid--great news. It sounds like your storm was much like the one that hit here Oct 12-13---massive tree damage, power outages....

7:51 pm

MayneGuy

Can't fool me, dilly

7:51 pm

smooth_pappa

lol completely understand stid

7:51 pm

chj

i have a tech prob that maybe someone knows about....i cant get the website icons to stay on my desktop...when i reboot they disappear for generic icons

7:51 pm

stidmama

yes -- only at least for us it wasn't out of season. yours really caught you-all by surprise.

7:52 pm

chj

and now i cant even drag them onto the desktop from the address bar

7:52 pm

stidmama

okay, I had best shut this box down and boot up Tom's before I lose all my data. back soon!

7:52 pm

Minveryork

Hello dilly!How are you doing? Welcome to the puzzle!

7:52 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

chj, my guess is that you have your browser set to clear your cache when you reboot. Thus the icons get eaten.

7:52 pm

MayneGuy

oh chj - much sympathy - my computer just updated Internet Explorer and I don't like it!

7:52 pm

Minveryork

Bye stidmama! I'll see you in the chat log soon I hope!

7:53 pm

lbdawger

no idea chj.

7:53 pm

Scrabbler

Gwen, you may have MS Windows security--I went through this about 6 wks ago but I cannot remember the details exactly. I wish I could be there to help. I have a router and wireless system here too, but for me the problem was security not recognizing the updated Firefox

7:53 pm

MayneGuy

Bye stid - take care - watch those allergies!

7:53 pm

smooth_pappa

my stid

7:53 pm

chj

i generally dont use ie....i use firefox

7:54 pm

Minveryork

I think she is Tom's stid smooth_pappa, but that's ok!

7:54 pm

MayneGuy

Probly I will too - but I liked the old look - whine, snivel

7:54 pm

8:13 pm

NatLT

Nick mentioned to me once that she used to feel a little left out at her birthday, so I try to make it special

8:13 pm

Minveryork

8:17 pm

hurshy

i meant emeril lagasse, the chef

8:17 pm

hurshy

8:17 pm

Minveryork

That is usually spelled with a y. Is it spelled with two e's at the end or ie on the grid?I mean the em7 word.

8:18 pm

FranMag

8:18 pm

FranMag

8:18 pm

lbdawger

ie Min

8:18 pm

hurshy

9:39 pm

Edvard Grieg lived in Bergen, Norway. It is on the west coast on (take out atlas) same latitude as Shetland Islands.

9:39 pm

stidmatt

I listen to this! Hi Nef!

9:40 pm

9:40 pm

Dorens

9:41 pm

stidmatt

It is, I just don't listen to more modern music then the beginnings of Jazz. Louis Armstrong is my favorite.

9:41 pm

Nef

I grew up listenig to In the Hall of the Mountain King on a 78 record on the big old phonograph as a kid! :)

9:41 pm

stidmatt

eg, music I don't listen to; rap, hip-hop, rock, blues.

9:41 pm

stidmatt

Cool!

9:42 pm

Nef

9:44 pm

Nef

9:45 pm

stidmatt

Oh man! That means she watches really old, listens to, recordings! That's cool!

9:45 pm

stidmatt

9:46 pm

FranMag

lol nef, i can imagine her surprise when you told her that not only was he not new, but he was dead when that duet came out!

9:47 pm

Nef

9:47 pm

Dorens

Nef, tell your daughter to listen to Æ’reddy cole...nat's brother...still recording and sounds terrific (i saw him last year at a local jazzclub)

9:57 pm

Dispatch

9:58 pm

stidmatt

Well, we have a generator, so we were keeping warm.

9:58 pm

stidmatt

And we also could run the stove.

9:58 pm

stidmama

we were warm "enough" Nef, we have a generator hard-lined into our propane tank for the well, so I ran it every few hours for the pump and the furnace.

9:58 pm

10:07 pm

NonnieLight

ah, I see...thank you Fran

10:07 pm

GreyWoulf

matt-- in my school, oh so many years ago, being a nerd was a term for being too smart for the norms to accept while being socially awkward at the same time

10:07 pm

NonnieLight

lol mama :o)

10:07 pm

stidmama

phantom words: slither

10:07 pm

flosey

Hi all, late start today, any clues for em5/12 please

10:08 pm

72 Temple Owl

a geek is technically someone who is overly fond of technology

10:08 pm

stidmama

your definition still applies, woulf!

10:08 pm

stidmama

hi flosey!

10:08 pm

FranMag

flosey, it's an alt spelling of the Eastern monarch

10:08 pm

stidmama

em 5: middle eastern ruler?

10:08 pm

72 Temple Owl

while a nerd is socially inept

10:08 pm

FranMag

usually has an i in it

10:08 pm

flosey

10:09 pm

flosey

good thanks Min, and you?

10:10 pm

FranMag

TO, change the last letter to another consonant

10:10 pm

GreyWoulf

geek has transformed recently thanks to the growing acceptance of Roleplaying games (like Dungeons & Dragons) -- it pretty much means a young (at heart if nothing else) person who is nerdy but possesses the selfconfidence to ignore the norms and choose to stand out from them

10:10 pm

Minveryork

I believe I'm going to slither on into bed soon! I have almost reached my goal. I hope tomorrow's is smaller!

10:10 pm

stidmatt

You don't have glasses! (he says while he adjusts his real glasses.

10:10 pm

GreyWoulf

I think another term that would work as a def would be - a socially accepted eccentric

10:10 pm

FranMag

yw flosey

10:10 pm

GreyWoulf

true Fran, though that def still applies to the now rare and almost extinct pencil necked variety

10:12 pm

Minveryork

I wear glasses, but I am definitely not a nerd! I don't even qualify to be a semi-nerd! I am totally nerdless!

10:12 pm

FranMag

10:12 pm

10:12 pm

10:12 pm

GreyWoulf

Min - by being a Babbleonian, you are a nerd by association

10:13 pm

stidmama

I am so close, just need three more words. Then I am halfway and will hit the list. Though tonight I am just glad to be back :-) and finishing would be only the icing on the cake

10:13 pm

stidmatt

b is worthless, but... c. A person who is extremely devoted to and knowledgeable about computers or related technology. That is the one we use all the time.

10:13 pm

FranMag

stid, you better have the lone i in the middle

10:13 pm

Minveryork

I hit the list when I was half-way through this puzzle.

10:14 pm
