2:01 am

sprite

we had the worst storm in many many years in Holland yesterday, but I don't think it made it to the international news.

2:02 am

:D

i saw something earlier about massive storms in europe causing several deaths, but havent caught the news yet sprite

2:02 am

jillibus

yes it did, sprite, and earlier (before she went to bed) stid said to pass along her concern to all affected

2:03 am

scarydeb

the UK was badly hit with lots still without electricity

2:03 am

sprite

It was really bad for this part of the world. No trains at all, most major roads blocked for safety and several deaths.

2:03 am

:D

things rarely make the news unless there are numerous deaths

2:03 am

jillibus

I saw there were winds up to 91 mph

2:04 am

scarydeb

same in UK Sprite with still a lot of disruption today

2:05 am

sprite

Usually the Netherlands are too small to be of concern for american news, unless it is really desastrous. I was so incredibly relieved when my kids and love made it home yesterday.

2:05 am

herinfernallady

we had major power losses here on tuesday too

2:05 am

lynxxx

good grief ! hope you guys in the North weren't directly affected.

Angb

That sounds awful guys. Stay home and stay safe

2:07 am

herinfernallady

its too hot her its about 70 degrees humidity her its horrible

2:07 am

sprite

I was really shocked when I saw at the news that a father took his 6yo son on the dike in Harlingen, to see the storm and feel it. The kid was scared stiff, you could see that.

2:07 am

lynxxx

At least there is rain around Infernal - lets be grateful for that

2:08 am

Angb

Yep, and you are one point behind.

2:31 am

FranMag

lol angb! i got what you meant.

2:32 am

FranMag

now that you've pointed that out angb, i'm probably going to crash and burn the rest of the week!

2:32 am

Angb

You can't be too careful in chatlogs, often meaning is misconstrued as we see once in a while here

2:33 am

Angb

Right - on to trying to grey boxes.

2:34 am

FranMag

QP is humbling, every time i think i've done pretty good the rest of the players just blow my score away.

2:34 am

Angb

I know what you mean - I wish I hadn't looked now

2:35 am

jillibus

3:15 am

Angb

3:17 am

Angb

co 7 actual definition - a woman's lightweight foundation garment combining a brassiere and girdle in one piece.

3:18 am

FranMag

i went to morewords for that one angb, i didn't get the clue that was given at the flip, but now that i know the word, it makes sense.

3:19 am

Angb

Wasn't at the flip - monkeyed that one.

3:19 am

FranMag

cool

3:19 am

Angb

3:23 am

egbokmom

LOL

3:24 am

Haz1558

Good morning/evening all. This puzzle looks like a challenge. Why is it that 'challenging' and 'interesting' strike fear rather than cheer?

3:24 am

FranMag

hi haz!

3:24 am

FranMag

that's fireworks for me!

3:24 am

FranMag

used list for last 16

3:24 am

Haz1558

Just in time to say congratulations!

3:24 am

Angb

Yay fran - great going

3:24 am

Andree

yay fran

3:25 am

FranMag

thanks all!

3:25 am

FranMag

would anyone like a clue before i go? haz you can close your eyes!

3:26 am

Haz1558

Just to make the grid even more challenging, Fran? That could be the new aim for those seeking to make babble as hard as possible - don't look at the grid!

3:26 am

Angb

Dont know what I'm missing Fran - but thanks for the offer

3:27 am

FranMag

here's more of a challenge, have someone read the grid to you and find words that way...not!

3:27 am

egbokmom

sh/4 pooped

3:27 am

FranMag

okay then, going to do QP and go to bed then. night!

3:28 am

3:28 am

Haz1558

Goodnight FranMag - sleep well when you go.

3:28 am

Andree

bye fran

3:28 am

Angb

I'm thinking andree how to clue it

3:30 am

Angb

hi 6 = ends with the french for salt. Starts with a syllable that sounds like the female possessive word (whatever you call it in grammar)

3:31 am

Angb

Sorry - not up to that page in my son's English workbook

3:31 am

Andree

perfect angb

3:31 am

Angb

Cool

3:32 am

Haz1558

Possessive pronoun is the technical term but you've got the hardest word to spell correct!

3:32 am

Angb

It's the sort of word I usually hope someone else clues LOL

3:32 am

egbokmom

got hi 6!

3:33 am

Angb

Thanks Haz - must get son to work so I figure the proper names out

3:33 am

Haz1558

You've clued it perfectly. No dictionary definition given but we would use it here to describe a type of cough.

3:33 am

Angb

We did homophones today!

3:34 am

Andree

I have forgotten all those terms years ago am reduced to saying thingy,lol

3:34 am

Haz1558

I'm delighted to hear he's being taught grammar. It's the skeleton that holds a language together.

3:35 am

egbokmom

computers are the end for grammar

3:36 am

FMitch

Morning all
This grid makes you work for the points!!

Haz1558

Ah, that explains it. For a moment I thought you might have broken free from the addiction, but I should have known better....

3:43 am

jean1953

I have been altering my times Haz as I gave up smoking last week and it was a kind of association of playing babble and having a quick cigarette, but I can safely say I can play now without that happening lol

3:43 am

FMitch

Well done jean!!!!

3:44 am

Andree

congrats jean

3:44 am

Haz1558

Well done on giving up smoking! Bunny is also giving up - she was rewarded for a while the other day by sitting triumphantly at the top of 'who's hot' while all the star players were deprived of their normal place.

I'm back. hi Odin

4:53 am

Odin

Hey sug

4:53 am

Odin

I am working on a caffeine buzz myself...main food group for me!

4:54 am

sugar

me too, Odin! tx for the clues in your icon, greyed out the i's for me!

4:55 am

Odin

My pleasure...it is a great grid today.

4:55 am

sugar

that's a matter of opinion!

4:56 am

sugar

I hate z's..............

4:56 am

Odin

LOL...it is great if it is small and interesting...seems it may be both today.

4:56 am

Odin

I also am not found of the z's...any idea how many are in this one?

4:57 am

sugar

3

4:57 am

Odin

The less the better.

4:57 am

Haz1558

Those of us with z in our name COULD take offence....

4:58 am

sugar

no haz, only words beginning with!

4:58 am

Haz1558

You dug yourself out of that one well!

4:59 am

Odin

Mornin' to you Miss Haz...no offence intended. If I see you name in a grid I find it quite simply.However, there are z words the nuns never told me about!

4:59 am

sugar

why is zois not a word? it has a nice ring to it.....

4:59 am

Haz1558

Wise nuns.

5:00 am

Odin

Indeed...I must say I like your icon .. good clue.

5:00 am

sugar

naughty z's ? hmmmmm

5:01 am

Haz1558

Thanks Odin - have you seen FMitch's wasp waist courtesy of her diet/co6/21?

5:02 am

Odin

I believe I mossed it as I got into the grid after she was gone.

5:02 am

Odin

But I got the clue...thanks Haz

5:03 am

Haz1558

It's worth seeing if she comes back. The nuns might not approve though.

5:03 am

Odin

I expect you are noticing my typing skills are atrocious today...mind is fine fingers are on their own.

5:04 am

Haz1558

You're doing pretty well, no desperate spelling errors anyway. Our local paper carried a story where guests at a reception were treated to champagne and canopies.

5:05 am

Odin

LOL...if have seen a few in the papers. Tough getting the awning poles down from the canopies, huh?

5:05 am

sugar

lol haz! I cannot believe the amount of typos in newspapers - you'd think with spellcheck....???

5:06 am

Haz1558

The problem with spellcheck is that it doesn't know anything about context.

5:06 am

Odin

Exactly.

5:06 am

sugar

true, true

5:07 am

Haz1558

And I felt sorry for a young football team whose exploits as Carniny Clots just didn't sound as good as Carniny Colts.

5:07 am

sugar

I give up on the z's, only got ze4/4, somebody help, please!!!!

5:08 am

spanner

any clue for the 8 please?

5:08 am

Haz1558

Okay - zo4/10 - relating to animal life (add part of the frozen water)

5:08 am

Odin

Obviously spellcheck would have had no problem with clots...but where the hell are the editors and proof readers?

5:08 am

Odin

Don't have it yet spanner

5:08 am

Haz1558

zo4/9 - zo plus two vowels (ending of the popular beverage)

5:09 am

sugar

extension of mi6/21, spanner

5:09 am

Odin

TY Haz

5:09 am

sugar

tx haz, I feel better now!

5:09 am

Odin

Thanks sug

5:10 am

spanner

ty sugar, but I dont have mi 6/21 yet LOL

5:10 am

Haz1558

I don't think editors can be bothered any more - certainly our local newspaper editor claimed that he couldn't read every part of the newspaper and that he was depending on young journalists who hadn't a very good grounding in English. Why employ them??

5:10 am

sugar

My point exactly, Odin, these people are writing for a living, for Pete's sake!

5:11 am

sugar

what about the ea5/10 - to have ingested food

5:11 am

spanner

Some time ago a headline in my mothers local rag read 'vicar rapes parishoners' it was supposed to say 'vicar raps parishoners'....

5:12 am

Haz1558

Oh spanner!!!!

5:12 am

sugar

Thats hysterical, spanner - bet the vicar loved it, and Odins nuns went a whiter shade of pale!!!!

5:13 am

spanner

my mothers reaction to the headline was..'what? ALL of them?

5:13 am

sugar

your mother should be on the stage, LOL

5:14 am

spanner

She took me to see Sons and lovers some years ago, and when they were wrestling naked i the firelight she said (very loudly) oohhhh! Nice carpet

5:15 am

Haz1558

What a woman!

5:15 am

sugar

go MOM!!!!!

5:15 am

spanner

what a nutter...she has always been eccentric

5:16 am

Haz1558

Anyway, much as I hate to go, I have places I need to be. Back later!

5:16 am

5:17 am

featherbee

6:11 pm

Mooch

They just had a guy on the news who climbed up to change the lightbulbs in the jack in the box sign and got stuck in the box. He was stuck up there in the box for 6 hours. Can you imagine.

6:20 pm

mousey

6:21 pm

Eva

Hurshy-just looking at your blurb again and think I may have said this before, but don't know if I've run into anyone else who appreicated Cold Comfort Fram, although the book was much, much better than the moie. We probably did discuss this before, right? One of my neighbors has cows that look like they should all be named Feckless.

6:21 pm

hurshy

then why did you say eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeekkkkkkkkkkk

6:21 pm

hurshy

lol eva. i have to get around to reading the book.

6:23 pm

mousey

looks like a guy on runescape who try`s to robb you when you are trying to get to varrok

6:23 pm

Eva

It has, of course, much more detail. But there are certainly times when I wouldn't mind shutting myself in my room , getting room service and simply muttering, every once in a while "I saw something nasty in the woodshed".

6:23 pm

hurshy

lol

6:23 pm

hurshy

i love when the hollywood guy goes, "but did it see you, baby?"

6:25 pm

featherbee

"i do not think him is what you think him is"

6:26 pm

hurshy

buttercup. and he said "what can i do for you?" and she said "you can die slowly, cut into a thousand pieces"

6:26 pm

featherbee

lol, gotta stop now, or i'll be quoting all night

6:26 pm

hurshy

6:26 pm

featherbee

you killed my love

6:27 pm

hurshy

oops, i mean, he said.

6:27 pm

6:28 pm

featherbee

*forcing self to stop*

6:28 pm

gramma

Mooch, God bless you!

6:28 pm

hurshy

i can hardly afford to make exceptions - i mean once word gets out that a pirate has gone soft, then people begin to disobey you and it's nothing but work, work, work all the time

6:29 pm

featherbee

6:32 pm

hurshy

i can only assume he meant you

6:32 pm

Smdnjv

I hope you feel better soon gramma!

6:32 pm

Smdnjv

Bye Mooch!

6:33 pm

featherbee

faithfulness he talked of, your enduring faithfulness...tell me true, when you found out your love was dead, did you get engaged to the prince the same day or did you wait a week out of respect for the dead?

6:33 pm

hurshy

you mocked me once, never do it again! i died that day! and you can die too for all i care!

6:33 pm

featherbee

you mocked me once, never do it again!

6:36 pm

hurshy

ok, off to work on the blog post of favorite quotes now while it's running in my head

6:36 pm

Janiece

hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die! (Sorry, couldnt resist!)

6:38 pm

NonnieLight

ahaha, Janiece...I was thinking the same :)

6:38 pm

Janiece

My favorite movie! I was quoting right along!

6:40 pm

Smdnjv

Question please! How many times do you watch a movie to be able to quote so eloquently?

6:41 pm

Janiece

I can only answer for myself, and I would say 10 - 15 times. And I loved each time.

6:42 pm

Smdnjv

LOL Janiece!!

6:42 pm

NonnieLight

I can't quote like that no matter how many times I watch a movie!

6:43 pm

Janiece

Now feather and Hurshy really are eloquent! I wonder how many times they have watched it?...

6:43 pm

Smdnjv

I can't either. I watch "To Kill a Mockingbird" and Primal Fear every time I hear of them playing somewhere....but I can barely quote the titles!!

6:44 pm

Smdnjv

It would be interesting to know!!

6:44 pm

hurshy

i don't remember. i haven't watched it in several years. i should remedy that.

6:44 pm

NonnieLight

I have a hard time remembering the character's names...but I still love watching a good movie over again.

6:44 pm

hurshy

i just got the DVD for christmas to replace my old VHS copy.

6:45 pm

Smdnjv

I love a good movie. My best friend and I often go to the movies on Saturday afternoon and watch at least two.

6:46 pm

dianec1967

I can't remember the last time I saw anything but a "G" movie!

6:46 pm

NonnieLight

ah, I'm a cheap-o. I wait for them to be released.

6:47 pm

hurshy

princess bride is PG. it has just one swear word.

6:47 pm

Smdnjv

I fell in love with movies after viewing "Friendly Persuasion" as a child. I was so infatuated with all the characters in that movie...especially that mischievious little boy!!

6:47 pm

NonnieLight

see, I can't even tell you what the swear word is lol

6:47 pm

Janiece

I can, but I wont!

6:47 pm

NonnieLight

Lo)

6:47 pm

hurshy

inigo as he kills count rugen, "i want my father back you son of a ...."

6:48 pm

dianec1967

Oh, yeah. That's the one w/Andre the Giant. We have watched that.

6:48 pm

NonnieLight

ah, ok hurshy

6:48 pm

Smdnjv

I believe Hurshy can quote the whole movie!!

6:48 pm

NonnieLight

Imma thinkin so!

6:49 pm

hurshy

well, i am a little rusty, cause, as i said, it's been several years since my last viewing.

6:49 pm

Smdnjv

I wish I had that great a memory...but alas, I can barely recall my children's names.

6:49 pm

hurshy

but, i also have the script handy in my file cabinet, which i typed up myself in high school.

6:49 pm

dianec1967

LOL!

6:49 pm

hurshy

so i could use it if necessary

6:49 pm

NonnieLight

lol smd

6:50 pm

hurshy

maybe that is your problem - children. i don't have any, so my memory space is free for princess bride.

6:50 pm

egbokmom

what was the rh clue from earlier, I missed it.

6:51 pm

hurshy

how do you get balloons off the ground? you rh7!

6:51 pm

hurshy

that wasn't the clue from before... but... it's a clue...

6:51 pm

Smdnjv

LOL hurshey!!

6:51 pm

egbokmom

6:51 pm

Ping

6:52 pm

Ping

6:52 pm

hurshy

6:52 pm

egbokmom

lost me

6:53 pm

featherbee

came back for a second.....i used to have first a copy i taped of the movie off tv in high school....then i had made a tape recording of that so i could listen to it on the bus. i eventually got a real vhs tape of it, and then a few years ago got the dvd. i can't possibly count how many times i've seen it! i used to quote lines in my head at night to help fall asleep.

6:53 pm

Ping

it has the 6 point letter in it

6:53 pm

Smdnjv

Rh + vowel + H*** is where the heart is.

6:53 pm

NonnieLight

rh + l**ard + h*** run in baseball

6:54 pm

featherbee

i maybe saw it once this past year, maybe once in the 2 or 3 years before that. it's been quite a while, but once it's stuck, it's stuck for good.

6:54 pm

Smdnjv

Oooh forgot that middle part feather!!

6:54 pm

Ping

6:55 pm

hurshy

6:55 pm

Smdnjv

6:55 pm

featherbee

i used to twirl saber in the winterguard....a friend and i would try to act out the sword fight.

6:55 pm

featherbee

what can i say, i had no life in high school!

6:56 pm

hurshy

now the sword fight music is in my head

6:56 pm

featherbee

Ping

6:56 pm

featherbee

6:56 pm

hurshy

6:59 pm

Ping

7:00 pm

featherbee

Jillibus, the town is either poughquag or Beekman. It is near Hopewell Junction and it's in Dutchess County

8:40 pm

jillibus

Min -- I know the area well! My aunt had a summer place near Hopewell Junction and my cousins and I used to visit there. So lovely and so handy to NYC!

NonnieLight

oops, gran = fran

8:44 pm

8:47 pm

FranMag

8:47 pm

jillibus

well, fran, I was going to and then heard from Minveryork that she was pleased with a house right near where my aunt used to live and I used to vidit -- plus I knew the area very well even in dog-show years.

8:48 pm

relarion

You're too kind, Fran :=)

8:48 pm

jillibus

so I got all excited and had to look at my Road Atlas and reminisce!

8:48 pm

FranMag

you just can't resist a good conversation can you jilli? :-)

8:48 pm

NonnieLight

shahzam! ;o)

8:49 pm

FranMag

jilli, do you still watch the dog shows? the westminster dog show is this weekend i think on USA network.

8:49 pm

jillibus

Right -- and with Minver there are so many coincidences -- she now lives right near where my parents and three aunts used to live -- one of them being the one with the summer place we all went to.

8:49 pm

FranMag

i might be wrong about the dates, but i know it's on USA.

8:50 pm

jillibus

I love to watch the dog shows but it's hard to get Westminster live here

8:50 pm

FranMag

that's cool jilli! next you'll find out you two are actually cousins!

8:50 pm

jillibus

We don't get USA network

8:50 pm

FranMag

darn

8:51 pm

jillibus

yes indeed, fran!

8:51 pm

FranMag

the AKC/Eukanuba show is on Animal Planet/Discovery, do you get either of those channels?

8:52 pm

FranMag

it's not on this weekend though.

8:52 pm

FranMag

and it's definitely not as big as the westminster

8:52 pm

jillibus

Yes, but I forget the dates of that show -- it didn't exist when I was really active in the game

8:52 pm

FranMag

yes, it's only in it's 3rd or 4th year.

8:53 pm

FranMag

when you owned great danes did you show them yourself?

8:54 pm

jillibus

Westminster is also known as The Garden because it's held at Madison Square Garden. I went to several of them and met some Great Dane icons from England there, as well as well known US breeders who became good friends.

8:55 pm

featherbee

8:56 pm

jillibus

Hubby Trev and I handled our own Danes in Canada and youngsters in the States, but used pro handlers for adults. When asked why, I used to ask people if they would ride their own horses in the Kentucky Derby.

8:58 pm

featherbee

not really, though i usually don't do much in the way of cold meds anyway, so i'm not missing out at least on that

8:59 pm

FranMag

pregnancy with a toddler is hard when you're so tired, but you still have to take care of the little guy.

8:59 pm

lbdawger

well if it's a cold drink lots of liquids and try to flush it out.

8:59 pm

jillibus

9:39 pm

Buttonman

yes

9:40 pm

smooth_pappa

A dirty old man might be called a SL**** ball... but change the last vowel

9:40 pm

lbdawger

someone who is a scumbag is a sl***e change last letter to 4th vowel

9:41 pm

lbdawger

smooth, if the scumbag is a female would that make her a sl***a?

9:42 pm

smooth_pappa

lol quite possibly dawg.

9:42 pm

smooth_pappa

actually, I think that would make them most of my ex girlfreinds. ;)

9:42 pm

lbdawger

!!! rofl

9:43 pm

smooth_pappa

man! my latest ex... my ex fiancee... I still love her... like a sister now, but before her I made some DUMB choices. lol

9:44 pm

Buttonman

all of you are trying, but i guess i am just dumdum to night....i see the word but i cannot spell it.

9:44 pm

lbdawger

ahh, being young and hormonal? life experiences. gotta kiss a lot of frogs...

9:45 pm

smooth_pappa

lol... not so much young... hormonal? sure... and drunk? yeah!

9:45 pm

lbdawger

sl+ not hard + 4th vowel

9:45 pm

10:12 pm

GreyWoulf

It was tricky, but when I was on before, a lot of clues were flying through the log, so I was able to benefit. I don't chat at work so they don't have a reason to lock out the site

10:12 pm

72 Temple Owl

tell: you owe jean one dollar - her address is in the log about 11:00 AM

10:12 pm

bunnyvicious

I'm completely self employed last year, no W2's.

10:19 pm

smooth_pappa

lol hk

10:19 pm

Smdnjv

Quitting was one of the hardest things I have ever done. My thoughts have been with you during this.

10:19 pm

72 Temple Owl

yes the last time i quit it was awful

10:19 pm

FranMag

hmm, since it's about 5 am in the UK, not many of them would be up right now.

10:19 pm

bunnyvicious

I saw the wind over there on the news, unreal! Hope they are okay.

10:20 pm

GreyWoulf

The cold I just got rid of had me so distracted that I failed to call to let them know I couldn't work my shift until only 15 mins before it started -- hopefully a written apology will help mollify my boss

10:20 pm

Dorens

hi helen, kanga, owl smooth and all others.. i'm here for my final two and my eyes are barely open

10:20 pm

FranMag

oops, there goes the glasses in an hour guarantee! :-)

10:20 pm

bunnyvicious

I quit everytime I got pregnant, don't know why I even picked em back up. I found a cig in my 10 year old daughter purse and decided it was time to put a STUPID and expensive habit to rest.

10:20 pm

smooth_pappa

ouch! here, weather related abcenses are generally mroe tolerated

10:21 pm

smooth_pappa

oh the sickness cold, not temperature. lol nevermind

10:21 pm

bunnyvicious

Dorens, need a clue or two?

10:21 pm

GreyWoulf

But, I have made it clear at every job I have ever worked that my family is my first priority, and if they can't deal with that, I don't really need them -- there are always other places to work

10:21 pm

72 Temple Owl

bunny, you can never let your guard down .NEVER

10:21 pm

Dorens

going to try to tough it out firs, tthanks bunny

10:21 pm

FranMag

that's true wolf

10:22 pm

smooth_pappa

is that the first time you failed to show? and at least you gave them a few minutes. not much, but it's not like you failed to show completely

10:22 pm

72 Temple Owl

hey dorens - going up to NJ for my father's birthday in two weeks

10:22 pm

bunnyvicious

I know, I just didn't realize. I think they are getting older faster, sigh. I told her I was dissapointed. What more could I say? Mommy does it.

10:23 pm

kangabrat

sorry, the kids turned off the internet connection there, hi to helen and dorens1

10:23 pm

Dorens

that

10:23 pm

Dorens

that

10:23 pm

Dorens

s the first weekend in february? i should be around. let me know

10:23 pm

72 Temple Owl

my father told me it was one of the great guils of his life when he found out i had taken up smoking, because we had alwsya been after him to quit when we were kids

10:23 pm

GreyWoulf

pappa -- the prob is that my LC store is run more like an extended clique than as a professional business, therefore my failure was seen as a personal betrayal -- especially since we are short staffed and that night they had noone else to work in the lab

10:23 pm

FranMag

lol kanga! that used to happen to me all the time, my daughter finally lost interest in the on/off switch on the power strip.

10:24 pm

smooth_pappa

ahhh... I'm sorry to hear that, sounds like a wierd work environment

10:24 pm

kangabrat

mine was being energy conscious and making the main computer sleep... they're very ecology minded at her school

10:25 pm

FranMag

i guess you can't get upset at that kanga! :-)

10:25 pm

GreyWoulf

Anyway, as a result of last weekend, I am not on the schedule for the next three weeks, which means that next week I will not be working on Sebastian's 1st birthday :)

10:25 pm

kangabrat

noooo... guess not...

10:25 pm

bunnyvicious

GW, walk in crying, tell them they don't care about your feeling or personal problems. Make a scene. It works, promise.

10:25 pm

GreyWoulf

It is, pappa -- I have been trying to figure out if I could do without them for months, but the money is helpful

10:26 pm

Smdnjv

Bunny My son was about 5 yrs older when i caught him smoking. It is disappointing and i think it hurts a little also. Fortunately, it was just a phase for him. My entire family is smokefree now.

10:26 pm

smooth_pappa

I empathize about he environment, woulfe... I love my company, I love working in the arts, but sometimes it's run like yours as well... the idea of culture is behind every new hire... not "culture" like music or anything like that, but how well the personality would fit in the comapny, and work environment

10:26 pm

Dorens

got my fireworks... would love to chat with you good people, but it's been a long day and tomorrow will be even longer. howvever, i will make time for babble (natch--- a day is not complete without it, right?) g'night all and sleep well.

10:26 pm

FranMag

night dorens!

10:26 pm

kangabrat

go dorens!

10:27 pm

bunnyvicious

That's great, trying to get the hubby to quit to. He's right behind me, doing well. She hadn't lit the cig, maybe it was just to awe her friends with. At least I cought it in time.

10:27 pm

kangabrat

and goodnight, dorens...

10:27 pm

smooth_pappa

yeah dorens, good night!

10:27 pm

bunnyvicious

Yay Dorens!!

10:27 pm

GreyWoulf

LOL, bunny -- I don't operate that way, if my work ethic and quality isn't enough for them, then I don't really need them

10:27 pm

72 Temple Owl

goodnight, dorens...i'll let you know. see you tomorrow!

10:27 pm

10:30 pm

Smdnjv

I think the cig was for show also. She is way too young to even want to smoke. I had to pick my battles so I did not make a scene over him smoking..just told him I was disappointed. Fortumately his desire was to please and not rebel against his parents.

10:31 pm

bunnyvicious

What do they start with HK?

10:31 pm

kangabrat

any i can help with helen? (unlikely, tho)

10:31 pm

godthaab

Smooth Papa, you are the first person to get Godthaab!

10:31 pm

bunnyvicious

I didn't make a scene either, hoping I did the right thing. Either way, they aren't as available.

10:32 pm

smooth_pappa

lol got... I'm in wisconsin... I've been infatuatied with areas colder than here for a long time... that means I know a lot about greenalnd, alsaka, cnada, and siberia. lol

10:34 pm

smooth_pappa

If I could find a good job in fairbanks, I'd move there, gothaab, just to enjoy the winters

from Ezra Pound --
Winter is icumen in,
Lhude sing Goddamm,
Raineth drop and staineth slop,
And how the wind doth ramm!
Sing: Goddamm.

10:38 pm

But if you mean being able to locate all the words in a grid in a ridiculously short period of time like some of our more obsessed and talented fellow Babblers, then it could take a lifetime ;-D

10:38 pm

Smdnjv

Need clues Joe??

10:38 pm

what happened to" loudly sing cuckoo"?

10:38 pm

smooth_pappa

Nizhni is just where the volga and oko rivers meet... I'd like to actually head out into siberia, but nizhni was great! 3rd largest city in russia, but i was closed to foreigners, and most russians during the cold war, due to sensitive industry there... a city that many peole died trying to get into... now it's comparable to somehwere like cleveland or milwaukee... bu t it is a fun city :)

10:40 pm

kangabrat

go, helen!!!!

10:40 pm

dilly

So it was, but I don.t remember your winter song!!

10:41 pm

10:41 pm

Joemammy

SMDNJV do you need to have the pay version to play this

10:41 pm

jillibus

Dilly -- you'll see it again in Bridge Tricks next week

10:41 pm

godthaab

Are you Russian? How did you get into the city?

10:41 pm

smooth_pappa

nah joe... you get a couple of exra benifis, ut you can always play for free

10:41 pm

bunnyvicious

Sorry, put on coffee. Congrats HK!!

10:41 pm

helenkeller

does anyone need a clue?

10:42 pm

GreyWoulf

Joe -- paying for pro gives you a few perks, but with the help of the log, you don't NEED it

10:42 pm

Smdnjv

No....you have two weeks free trial which allow you to see the tile stats. after that you just see the grid.

10:42 pm

Shannon1

az?

10:42 pm

smooth_pappa

I got in first through a school exchange program... I'm only 26, so I was there in 2000. things have changed much since the cold war ended... its' open now, but still retains a bit of mystery

10:42 pm

Joemammy

Hey Woulf noticed you are from Lansdale

10:42 pm

jillibus

Dilly -- it's not MY winter song, but Ezra Pound's, and he was considered persona non grata for many years

10:42 pm

GreyWoulf

Are you local to me, Joe?

10:44 pm

Gaoing pro (a one-time small fee) helps maintain this site -- well worth it for no other reason IMHO

10:44 pm

dilly

I remember bits - will look up on net.

10:44 pm

bunnyvicious

I agree jilli, only reason I went pro in Sudoku.

10:44 pm

GreyWoulf

sorry, Joe -- I am a relative new import to PA --- have only lived here just over 2 years and have not had much opportunity to explore, what with having two small kids and lots of bills

10:45 pm

GreyWoulf

so I don't recognise PGH -- Hatfield, I know

10:45 pm

Joemammy

Same here that is why I move to PGH. Much more affordable plus the traffic there was getting on my nerves

10:45 pm

bunnyvicious

I got snowed into PA in 95 with the in-laws for almost a month, bad blizzard. Will never return. It is beautiful though.

10:45 pm

Joemammy

Pittsburgh

10:46 pm

GreyWoulf

thank you --- I thought so, but needed the confirmation

10:46 pm

godthaab

I bet! I think travel has opened up greatly in the last little while. I was there a couple of times in the early 90s and foreigners couldn't go anywhere. I was staying with a Russian family, so I had some perks. I remember standing in a train station and an American came up to me. He was completely lost because he couldn't read Cryllic. They didn't make travel easy in those days.

10:46 pm

kangabrat

hey, I got fireworks1

10:46 pm

10:58 pm

godthaab

Wow! I can believe it. Once I was on Arbat Street and I saw a Russian trying to buy something with US dollars. This was in the early 90s. Out of nowhere, two KGB officers grabbed him, and took him away while he was screaming "I'm sorry. I'll rubles!! Help!" They carted him off down the street; nobody intervened

10:58 pm

GreyWoulf

G'night bunny -- dream deep

GreyWoulf

I am getting jealous -- it seems like everyone has been out of the country at least once except me :(

11:09 pm

swviola

me too! I had the greatest time out in Erding which is about an hour outside of Munich

11:10 pm

jillibus

11:10 pm

hi all!

11:10 pm

swviola

Don't worry Woulf...I am embarassed to admit that I have only been to 8 states and have been out west only once!

11:11 pm

FranMag

I don't remember all the names swv, but my friends were stationed at Rose Barracks, which was a bit of a drive from Munich.

11:11 pm

FranMag

hi kier!

11:11 pm

FranMag

thanks jilli! yes, Kosrae is still very much a tropical paradise.

11:11 pm

swviola

Hi Kier

11:12 pm

GreyWoulf

even that beats me, swv -- but not by as much, so I feel a little better :)

11:12 pm

swviola

Is Kosraean a derivative of an asian language?

11:12 pm

72 Temple Owl

kier love your clue!

11:12 pm

FranMag

no, Kosrae is a little island in Micronesia.

11:13 pm

GreyWoulf

Hi Kier

11:13 pm

jillibus

smooth -- during McCarthyism I was living in Canada but often visited my family in NY -- crossing the border into the States we had to say where we were born (not our citizenship) and because I was born in China (but of British parents) I lied and said "Montreal" or I might have been detained as an enemy alien.

11:13 pm

FranMag

wolfie, i was born on an island, to go anywhere was out of the country!!

11:14 pm

GreyWoulf

LOL, Fran!

I want to do Italy, France and Spain

11:22 pm

o2baflyndog

11:22 pm

FranMag

i'd like to go to France and Spain also, as well as the UK since that's where my dad's ancestors are from.

11:23 pm

swviola

I have yet to see Italy...I am saving it for my future honeymoon....whenever that may be ;-)

11:23 pm

o2baflyndog

11:23 pm

o2baflyndog

and lived in Hawaii for a while

11:23 pm

o2baflyndog

sounds like a great honeymoon! what if he's always wanted to go to Antarctica??? =)

11:23 pm

FranMag

well, that will affect your choice of husband too, if they don't want to go to Italy, then no deal

11:23 pm

GreyWoulf

Before I had kids I had a dream of taking a year off to tour of the world to visit various sites of spiritual importance -- however that is now on hold, most likely indefinitely

11:24 pm

swviola

agreed, Fran!!

11:24 pm

o2baflyndog

GW, your kids would probably benefit greatly from such a tour

11:24 pm

swviola

JK

11:25 pm

GreyWoulf

true, but unfortunately, I don't have the income to consider it

11:25 pm

FranMag

flyndog, when did you live in Hawaii?

11:25 pm

o2baflyndog

1973 and 1974, Fran

11:25 pm

FranMag

wolfie, we'll cross our fingers for a lottery win in your future

11:26 pm

o2baflyndog

11:26 pm

GreyWoulf

that reminds me -- Powerball is over 200 mill -- I need to get a ticket tomorrow!

11:26 pm

FranMag

hee hee, of course flyndog!

11:26 pm

o2baflyndog

GW, my hubby has plans for that money... he wants to buy a submarine

11:27 pm

o2baflyndog

crazy man

11:27 pm

swviola

woulf...what states does your powerball cover??

11:27 pm

FranMag

were your parents in the military flyndog? (that's the first thing people ask me when i say i was born in Guam)

11:27 pm

GreyWoulf

I am not sure, smv -- I barely remember that we have it

11:27 pm

o2baflyndog

I did see the pearl harbor memorial when I was there, it was pretty new then

11:28 pm

11:52 pm

Douglas

Hello Fran!

11:52 pm

stidmama

11:53 pm

o2baflyndog

my grandmother had rats in the dining room, or so I convinced myself! =)

11:53 pm

o2baflyndog

I always RAN through the dining room as fast as possible, leaping high with every step

11:53 pm

stidmama

11:55 pm

FranMag

11:55 pm

stidmama

well, I have all day tomorrow to clean house. I took today off and watched an old Fred Astaire movie this afternoon!

11:55 pm

Douglas

It's a leftover from the day when stones were the theme...

11:55 pm

FranMag

i see.

11:56 pm

FranMag

kier, i thought i was just being sensitive because i was used to having my own way for 35 years, but i guess it's not just me.

11:56 pm

stidmama

Fran the icon for the Muslim New Year is beautiful -- is that the new theme?

11:56 pm

oldhousejunky

How was Fred Stid - love those old movies

11:56 pm

Douglas

He (Shelf Life) thought they should go into business making a5/14s, and corner the world's market, but Zippy was still hung up on people in Cincinnati being unable to button their pocket flaps if anything happened to that city in China

11:57 pm

o2baflyndog

no fran, it's not just you =)

11:57 pm

FranMag
