bye, eSeamus

jillibus

I don't know how you all get words so quickly

1:05 am

Jellen

I don't know either, jilli. I'm slow.

1:05 am

eSeamus

It never fails. I get set to step away and words jump out at me. Good night all.

1:07 am

jillibus

night eSeamus

1:09 am

CsCdeFounder

well, jilli, me personally...while i'm new to this game, this isn't the first game i've played whose setup is exactly like boggle/tangleword/word racer, so i find this to be pretty easy. I also happen to type extremely fast and since there's no penalties for typing in wrong guesses, that pretty much gives me free reign to type whatever words i want in.

1:14 am

o-o

congratulations, Cs ... I will always be the tortoise that never beats the hare .. . even, I enjoy the challenge

1:17 am

CsCdeFounder

i enjoy the challenge as well, as this game still isn't unbelievably easy to play either. I always manage to get stuck on 3 or 4 small words which in a puzzle of 300+ words, is like looking for a needle in the proverbial haystack. But usually at that point, I'll just start typing in every single combo for a word I can think of, even if they don't sound like words to me.

1:18 am

jillibus

Whatever, Cs, you're obviously miles ahead of the likes of me!

1:19 am

o-o

Why compare? Kudos to Cs! Kudos to you!

1:19 am

Jellen

Absolutely, BabbleRabble!

1:21 am

CsCdeFounder

i'm not comparing, jilli, nor am i trying to make anyone feel bad. Sorry if that's how you or anyone else took it. I'm just saying I've played games like this one before, and also tons of other word games online, so that helps out when I play this game. I'm not trying to belittle the game for anyone and I'm sorry if it came across that way.

1:22 am

o-o

That is not my intention either, Cs. You are a remarkable player. I tip my hat to you!

1:23 am

jillibus

That was I was doing too, Cs.

1:24 am

FMitch

Morning all
Popped in to see what sort of grid we have today and its another big one. Dr_G is making us work for our words!! But no C's today !!

1:26 am

CsCdeFounder

so, going totally off-topic here, lol...i'm not one to usually go out and see a movie in the theater, but my brother was treating me, so i couldn't exactly say no, lol...saw this movie called Knocked Up, and I gotta say, it was absolutely hilarious. I'd recommend it highly.

1:26 am

CsCdeFounder

sure, jilli...i play a word game called Cascade (which is over at www.iwin.com). The name might make some assume that I founded/invented the game, but it's really just a name I use over there. I now use it in several word games I play; either the CCF name u see here or my original name from years back in cascade, which was SMOKEYG23.

1:41 am

CsCdeFounder

i've been meaning to ask...why do most people here have icons next to their names along with flags of countries (i assume that's where everyone is from here)? Just wondering why there isn't an icon or flag next to my name.

1:41 am

happy holiday jilli

Happy Canada Day Jilli

1:42 am

jillibus

CCF, you have to pay up and go pro to get the icon and flag etc. If you click on the icons you get a profile of the players -- many interesting people here.

1:43 am

Xanika

You also get heaps more clues CS

1:43 am

jillibus

thanks MVA

Xanika

Hi all

1:47 am

CsCdeFounder

oh ok...didn't see anything about paying on this site when i signed up...since i am not paying to play this game, am i on some kind of limited membership right now that will expire at some point preventing me from playing this game?

1:47 am

Xanika

Are there any 'o' clues please?

1:48 am

lynxxx

No CsC - the only 'thing' you wil loose is the Tile & Word Stats after 2 weeks

1:48 am

herinfernallady

No Cs it wont prevent you from playing. I was unmemebered for about a year before Jader organised for my membership

1:49 am

jillibus

CCF, you get a 2 week trial period, after which you lose the tiles and the number of words and such, and you don't get to acquire an icon, profile, etc.

1:50 am

Jellen

oa4/4 you row with these

1:50 am

ikeyak

yes onset begining with o

1:50 am

CsCdeFounder

well, i suppose that will make this game more challenging for me then, in 2 weeks time, as the only thing i really rely on for help when i'm stuck are the tiles at the bottom, lol

1:50 am

i wondered why people are asking for the the word totals!!

the th 8/50 and 9/66 were probably the toughest ones in here, even though i think the bigger words are usually the easiest. They just look like weird words, but kind of easy once you get th 4/5 and ur 4/5

I just wondered about her reaction to the 21 K words -- someone suggested she might have taken a look and run away

2:08 am

lynxxx

loredana

I second that FMitch

2:36 am

grannymaxx

i know everyone is so supportive no matter what time i come on...its great to know that too!

2:37 am

herinfernallady

I have a few comic books, JTHM, the crow. My b/f has about 800 roleplaying books

2:38 am

lilycain

i always think nerds are the most interesting people, because they're always passionate about something... people who dont have that passion are boring!

2:38 am

herinfernallady

Second that Lily and I second that Lore and Fmitch

2:39 am

FMitch

Urgh the covers are on again at Wimbledon and the forecast is not good. Wonder if they will get any play today?

2:43 am

FMitch

Proper players (rather than troll types) Ages range from 14 to 80+

2:43 am

grannymaxx

well my average age is 64 if that helps :)

2:44 am

herinfernallady

2:46 am

herinfernallady

There is a 10 year old that has a membership CC

2:47 am

CsCdeFounder

i'm usually curious about the age ranges because in my experience, i've usually found that most people my age don't seem to be into word games, so the average age range i seem to encounter in word games is in the 40-65 range, with some younger and some older

2:47 am

loredana

Never mind Lickety imagine all the work you will get done so when they arrive home you be able to spend time with them and remember absence makes the heart grow fonder and we will look after you

2:47 am

FMitch

How old are you CsCd and what gender?

2:47 am

herinfernallady

Cs what range do you fall in :)

2:48 am

licketySplitAUS

lore- yeah - I'll be ok - it'll be strange, and I'll be working hard and very tired I bet - but lots of other things I'll have a break from.

2:48 am

loredana

Herin should bake a batch and send them to you Lickety

2:48 am

CsCdeFounder

i'm recently 26 (as of 2 weeks ago anyway, lol)...and i'm a guy

2:49 am

licketySplitAUS

CsCde - it's a strange range here - from 10 to 75

herinfernallady

2:49 am

loredana

2:49 am

grannymaxx

2:49 am

licketySplitAUS

2:50 am

mrpresident

2:51 am

FMitch

MrP Hi my lovely, good to see you.

2:51 am

grannymaxx

lmao fmitch

2:51 am

CsCdeFounder

i really just meant the average age range...i'd also have to say that in my personal experience, the gender ratio is usually 2:1 in favor of women, if not higher than that.

2:52 am

licketySplitAUS

mrp? what the? Strange Range? - Me?

2:52 am

ursh

2:52 am

lynxxx

Stranger Ranger!!

2:52 am

mrpresident

LOL lynxx!

2:53 am

herinfernallady

Is it? I bought an American book - Easy cooking with 5 ingredients has a recipe for Kahlua, bought it to get rid of the pesky packet products in my fridge/cupboard. The next 2 weeks have been labeled Apocalypse week - sounds more interesting than 'getting rid of the crap in the cupboards and fridge'

2:53 am

FMitch

I don't know about that ursh considering the lenght of CdCs's postings but then men do go on sometimes :)

2:53 am

licketySplitAUS

I range up the strangers? Well maybe I do - Lynxx - you go to the left queue please

2:54 am

loredana

Fmitch nice comment

2:56 am

3:31 am

CsCdeFounder

3:33 am

3:33 am

sunny09

hi Ata and FMitch, and also goodnight all. I have a chick flick and some peppermint chocolate with my name on it. Happy babbling :)

3:34 am

CsCdeFounder

i understand, granny...but at this point, i can only handle so much stress and cigarettes happen to be my outlet/relief...it's the not knowing what's wrong with me that is stressful, not to mention going to the doctors/specialists/hospitals all the time and coming up empty...i'm sure smoking doesn't help matters, but it's how i halfway cope with the stress

3:34 am

grannymaxx

bye sunny, enjoy both!

3:34 am

Haz1558

Sleep well, sunny.

3:34 am

lynxxx

Just had the most delicous vegetable casserole - sweet potato, eggplant, cous cous and a tough of Moroccan spices - too yummy for a winter night

3:34 am

FMitch

FMitch

3:36 am

grannymaxx

i do wish i could tell you some other way of coping with stress...

3:36 am

CsCdeFounder

i have to wait another month or so before i can start going back to doctors and whatnot...i've kinda given up hope of a diagnosis at this point since i've already had a biopsy done and that didn't reveal much, so not sure what else can really be done here

3:36 am

FMitch

If anyone could come up with a good idea for recycling ashtrays, thee will be millions going cheap!

3:37 am

herinfernallady

I do Yoga for stress and this but you just cant off the people that irk you

3:37 am

Haz1558

3:37 am

herinfernallady

Oh and playing the playstation and talking to friends help

3:37 am

FMitch

LOL I knew it wasn't you Haz, Invasion of the Body Snatchers.

grannymaxx

3:38 am

CsCdeFounder

3:39 am

FMitch

3:41 am

FMitch

LOL you two :)

3:41 am

Haz1558

Even worse, nowadays if I have to thread a needle, it takes good light, glasses and the conviction that it will be worth it in the end. Never is...

3:41 am

FMitch

Ata did you go to Hoobycraft on Thursday?

3:41 am

3:45 am

Atalante

3:45 am

Haz1558

It's gingernut biscuits, sandwiched together with whipped cream and crushed pineapple. That's fridged overnight, then covered with cream - the biscuits become nice and soft.

3:46 am

FMitch

Is the top left the cinnamon pavolva?

3:46 am

rolin

*nodding*...the aussie version is to used a biscuit called a chocolate ripple...a slightly lighter consistency than the gingernut..cream them trogether with a hint of mint..

3:46 am

Haz1558

Okay, there's a ritztorte (meringue with chopped nuts and crushed ritz biscuits, topped with whipped cream - that's the top left.

3:47 am

Haz1558

Next to it is cinammon pavlova (pavlova with a hint of spice, topped with nectarines and raspberries)

3:47 am

3:53 am

ren8

3:53 am

Haz1558

3:53 am

rolin

3:53 am

rolin

huh...haz...sorry..??...tap tap tap...i think im getting some kind of garbled nonsense from the chat log....lol

3:54 am

Haz1558

It's the invasion of the body snatchers again - normal Haz would be too sensible to make that kind of remark.

3:54 am

FMitch

LOL

3:54 am

rolin

well yeah...i was opting for the alien invasion idea

3:56 am

Haz1558

Next I'll be extolling the virtues of Paris, the heiress rather than the city. Proof positive.

3:56 am

loredana

Hello rolin nice to see you again

3:56 am

ren8

great watching the weather..... looks like another wash out for the weekend

3:56 am

Atalante

thats madness rather than body snatching

3:56 am

rolin

hey loredana...*s*

3:56 am

grannymaxx

clue for third er6.18?

3:56 am

loredana

Haz what have you been drinking?? The cooking sherry? lol

3:57 am

FMitch

I think the the8 & 9 are the strangest words I have seen in the grid for a looong time. Needless to say they are from the world of chemistry.

3:57 am

rolin

haz...if that happens...would you understand if we leapt thru the screen and tried you down very tightly?

3:57 am

ren8

hello loredana

3:57 am

FMitch

Ata you grab Haz'z left arm I'll take the right and rolin can put the straight jacket on.

3:57 am

loredana

hello ren!!

3:58 am

Haz1558

You would have my permission indeed. Husband would probably have given me a lethal injection before that could happen, though.

3:58 am

rolin

im with ya...

3:58 am

Atalante

ready!

3:58 am

Haz1558

You'd have to get past a shorn though valiant spaniel.

3:58 am

FMitch

lol rolin, we were both thinking along the same tack

@Go, go go" It's for your own good Haz, sorry.

3:58 am

rolin

lol..*thinking*...considering he would actually have access to such a thing...must make for an interesting relationship

3:58 am

loredana

well I still dont see why Rosie left the View over a catfight with elisabeth or was it really over her request for a raise??

3:59 am

Atalante

awwwww how is shorn-but-valiant-spaniel?

3:59 am

Haz1558

Not only that, there are firearms available - usually for shooting cattle, but hey, he's adaptable. I know my place.

4:00 am

Haz1558

The spaniel is shorn, and looking less than valiant, (snoring and valiant don't go together)

4:00 am

Atalante

fab gn6/24 word

4:00 am

rolin

lol @ haz

4:00 am

Atalante

LMAO maybe she;s having valiant dreams

4:01 am

4:21 am

FranMag

4:22 am

ddb4nana

oops...I already know the third letter...witch way do I go next? I am so lost and these are my last two words...

4:22 am

FMitch

Oh that reminds me there was a bit on TV this week re a woman who does drink her own pe, snofts it too and claims it has cured her of alergies. The mind boggles sometimes.

Sorry ddb we don't do 3rd letters but it is the same one as used by most of the other se's

4:22 am

loredana

wow shes beautiful!!!

4:22 am

ddb4nana

ty anyway...I will get it eventually...

4:23 am

Atalante

she's tuning into *something*!

4:23 am

Atalante

oh yes, its meant to be very good for you ....

4:23 am

loredana

i have heard that people use their pee to relieve chillblains!!! true

4:24 am

Haz1558

Would it cure not being able to sew?

4:24 am

Atalante

probably! doubt you'd even be able to see a needle after that

4:24 am

Haz1558

Would it cure Paris Hilton?

4:24 am

Haz1558

We could be onto something....

4:25 am

Atalante

must be worth a go

4:25 am

FMitch

Oh god don't say that lore, I have recently been diagnosed with chillblanes

4:25 am

grannymaxx

it would chill my bl(r)ain too lore :)

4:25 am

FranMag

haz, she's probably already done that

4:25 am

loredana

no but a good dose of apricot kernels or arsenic would

4:26 am

FMitch

Tell me you just soak your feet in it rather than take internally

BF thinks it's hysterical I have chillblanes in the summer.

4:26 am

loredana

hey Granny very clever now you have turned cryptic on us lol

4:26 am

loredana

yes FMitch

4:26 am

Atalante

well you can get foot creams that contain ur**

4:27 am

loredana

ata you are being so correct

4:27 am

mrpresident

ewwwww

4:27 am

FMitch

HAve Dr appt on Tues a.m will add to my list of things to disucss.

4:27 am

grannymaxx

sorry lore, just don't know what it is??

4:27 am

Haz1558

I'll have to have a look at the contents of my foot cream.

4:28 am

Atalante

ur** acts as a softener

4:28 am

FMitch

From cream cakes to foot cream. Suddenly not feeling so hungry :)

4:28 am

ddb4nana

could someone tell me the best way to find a word online when a clue is given such as "very hot chili"?

4:29 am

o-o

se 7 -- s + a mistake: ***or; and one way or ***ther; plural

4:29 am

rolin

but mitch...it does show the breadth of the babler's involvement in the world..

4:29 am

Atalante

google ;)

4:29 am

FranMag

google "scovill scale" nana, it should list hottest peppers

4:29 am

Haz1558

ddb4 - use www.morewords.com - type in the letters you know, leave dashes for the rest and work down the list given.

4:29 am

rolin

ddb...put it into google..and get the page able chilli types

4:29 am

rolin

*about

4:30 am

ddb4nana

ty all...I'll try those ideas...

4:30 am

FMitch

10 out of 10 for trying ddb, makes a nice change. A directional clue would be to go round anticlock wise

4:30 am

FranMag

hey babrab!

Wurdy i used to live in a unit opposite a big JW church they were nice and i wasnt allowed to be mean to them (the ex said to behave) Scarlet, using grey water is a big thing her. I had to let my garden at my old house die, it was sad

9:41 am

wurdygurl

yes, they do. Now, I have in laws that are JW, so I can't have as much fun with them as I used to

9:42 am

Scarlet

I've even taken to plugging the bathtub when showering, to scoop out the used water to feed the gardens...

9:42 am

wurdygurl

I always want to go over on prayer night or whatever they call it and bring a deck of cards and beer and interrupt their stuff just like they interrupt everyone elses, but hubby wont let me.

9:43 am

herinfernallady

We do that here scarlet. Some homes have introduced the 'melllow yellow' toliet policy

9:43 am

pinkhatlil

your so naughty wurdygirl lol...i really am going now bye!

9:43 am

herinfernallady

Lol wurdy i could so easily do that myself

9:43 am

wurdygurl

you already poofed pnk!

9:44 am

Scarlet

Yes, here, too, Lady. Asheville is in fairly serious condition... if it rains, the ground is too hard to absorb it, and we will have flooding... it's one thing or the other.

9:44 am

LeslieAnn

it's a double poof, she's quite the magician

9:44 am

Scarlet

Poof2... a new Babbler designation!

9:44 am

herinfernallady

Some pubs have put coloured ice in the urinals to cut down water use in the boys toilets

9:45 am

wurdygurl

Just knock on their door just like they do mine on CHRISTMAS for crying out loud! and be like "hey, I see you are having a party, lets have some fun and talk over beer and euchre"

9:45 am

bichon

We do the mellow yellow too. People are always shocked at how low our water/sewer bill is. Sometimes people have bill thrice ours

9:45 am

Scarlet

Isn't ice water, though, Lady? I don't get that one...

9:45 am

LeslieAnn

or actually, probably not a very good magician, if she needed 2 poofs.

9:45 am

Fiber Art

We conserve water, too, only flushing when necessary (or if people are coming over!), I capture wash water to flush kitty litter down (flushable corn-based litter).

9:45 am

wurdygurl

nah, she just apperated back and left again

9:45 am

Scarlet

LOL, LeslieAnn. HI, Fiber...

9:46 am

LeslieAnn

oh, so we're getting more for our money?

9:46 am

wurdygurl

exactly. And since it is free....

9:46 am

LeslieAnn

niiiiice

9:46 am

herinfernallady

Ok Scarlet a smattering of Ice melts over the course of the night and the urinal cleans its self slowly, were as the standard system the water flows frequently, think leaky tap

9:47 am

Scarlet

Okay, I get it now, Lady. Gosh, the ladies in here have some excellent ideas for water conservation. Yours is a good one too, bichon. We don't run a dehumidifier, though...

9:48 am

wurdygurl

ummm, what is that r that is under the s in the top corner? It has to be a ry right?

9:48 am

LeslieAnn

yup, ry + vowel + consonant, wurdy

9:49 am

Fiber Art

wurdy, it's a scandanavian rug

9:49 am

wurdygurl

bless you leslieann

9:49 am

wurdygurl

thanks

9:49 am

herinfernallady

Scarlet i think the toliets get cleaned anyway at the end of the night. Ok what really irks me the most is schools that have leaky taps and toilets, drives me batty. All schools should have rainwater tanks, duel flush bogs and non leaky taps

9:49 am

wurdygurl

my phantom today is stools I have typed it in countless times already

9:50 am

Scarlet

Since I am the resident Finn, I salute Fiber knowing that word. *Bows to FA!"

9:50 am

greenbayladi

any a clues please

9:50 am

bichon

Our basement is a living space [when kids lived at home] and we have furniture down there. It would be all mildewed if we didn't run one. We are very parsimonious. We compost every bit of vegetable matter.

9:50 am

wurdygurl

a clue for a...it comes before b

9:50 am

wurdygurl

sorry getting punchy

9:50 am

greenbayladi

that's ok

9:51 am

wurdygurl

it is good that you ag*** with me

9:51 am

Fiber Art

I'm not "fiber art" for nothing, Scarlet!

9:51 am

wurdygurl

or I wound get a bit an*** with you

9:51 am

Scarlet

We, too, have a compost bin that beloved built for me when I am pulling weeds, etc., using the broken, crushed eggshells, coffee grounds and veggie and fruit peels... it all goes in!~ LOL, Fiber!!

9:51 am

LeslieAnn

see, it is all part of wurdy's master clue plan

9:51 am

bichon

any ideas for the ar's?

9:52 am

Fiber Art

on our recent trip, I found that many places have dual flush toilets. good idea

9:52 am

Fiber Art

bichon, there's always one's rear end

9:52 am

wurdygurl

ar**, like ar* you crazy then plural

9:52 am

Scarlet

What is that, Fiber?

9:52 am

herinfernallady

Oh also Starbucks have free used grinds to put in composts. I think in AUstralia it is a law to have dual flush dunnys in house or something odd like that

9:52 am

Fiber Art

"Little water" for number one, "big water" for number 2

9:53 am

bichon

fiber, thanks, that seems to be in the grid every day lately

9:53 am

Fiber Art

Along with all sorts of other rude words!

9:53 am

herinfernallady

Some houses have a half brick in the dunny if its a single flush it does the same thing

9:54 am

LeslieAnn

well, with the hundreds of words we've had lately it's easier for words to keep showing up

9:54 am

Scarlet

Excellent idea... never heard of it. We have the mellow yellow in effect now... and a gallon jug of chlorine bleach alongside for me to keep things sparkling.../

9:54 am

Fiber Art

We used to put bricks in the tank, but now have low flush models

9:54 am

Scarlet

Yes, we used the two-brick system for years...

9:54 am

wurdygurl

I don' t mind rude wrods, at least I know those lol

9:54 am

Fiber Art

Hah, wurdy!

9:55 am

wurdygurl

sad but true

9:55 am

Fiber Art

I get a kick out of them. A recent puzzle had both di** and co**

9:55 am

herinfernallady

We have our minds in the gutter kiddies

9:55 am

wurdygurl

loved that one. They were my first words

9:55 am

wurdygurl

I was so proud

9:56 am

Fiber Art

Is "gutter" in the puzzle??

9:56 am

wurdygurl

sorry herin!

9:56 am

Fiber Art

and rightly so

9:56 am

Scarlet

Dagnabit... I have to go back to the housework... have a wonderful day, Babblers and to all, a good grid! Take care, be peaceful and love thy neighbor... wurdy... not you...you're too rambunctious... LOL

9:56 am

Fishbulb

9:56 am

LeslieAnn

9:56 am

scale

10:18 am

herinfernallady

Chilli info and yes you are right Leslie

10:18 am

LeslieAnn

oh no wait, i was wrong, they are much less hot than jalapenos

10:19 am

LeslieAnn

ah, right the first time. it's easy to be right if you say both things

10:19 am

doxy1lover

still spicy though

10:20 am

herinfernallady

No you are right the first time and im a wuss i hate hot spicy food, mild Korma is hot enough for me

10:20 am

herinfernallady

HI cyber

10:20 am

regular pepper, as in salt and pepper, can sometimes be too hot for me.

10:21 am

Korma is a mild coconut tasting curry

10:21 am

LeslieAnn

i had a very unfortunate accident with some jalapenos once, i cut them up to make salsa and a couple hours later my hands started burning, looked it up online and it said if your hands are burning, the oil's already in your skin, tough luck, wear gloves next time

10:22 am

doxy1lover

mine became a disaster again after the grandbaby moved in

10:22 am

featherbee

5:37 pm

TO 'ecky thump' An exclamation of surprise or shock. Often used to mock the Northern dialects of Lancashire and Yorkshire.

5:37 pm

Dorens

5:38 pm

72 Temple Owl

ty frances, some people were betting jack white made it up....is it ecky like "heck"? yes ty doren

5:38 pm

Niamh

this is what I found: Ecky-Thump (pronounced ehk-ee thoooomp) is an ancient and traditional martial art originating from Lancaster, Lancashire in Northern England. Similar but superior to Kung Fu in many respects, it utilizes long, fierce-looking Black Puddings in place of more inferior Eastern weaponry. Practitioners of the martial art are easily distinguished through their ritualistic flat caps and accompanying whippets.

5:38 pm

Dorens

female possessive + last three letters of roman means of transportation

The ecky thump business is a bit of a joke, in that it's an expression but it was made into a comedy routine by 'The Goodies' in the late 1970's.

21 Ks sprite! it was horrible. :-)

5:57 pm

featherbee

5:57 pm

FranMag

jellen, did you get that GN?

5:57 pm

FranMag

ROFL heather!

5:57 pm

Flask1

5:57 pm

featherbee

oh yeah, and they weren't just normal Ks either. weird ones.

5:57 pm

FranMag

(and yes, i've done that)

5:58 pm

feather, sometimes i do that with regular words that start with re, and i'm thinking the "again" meaning

5:58 pm

LeslieAnn

that's what i said, sprite

5:58 pm

FranMag

i doubt i'll remember those K words when they show up again.

5:58 pm

featherbee

yep. i was pronouncing it like the word for say hello, but was confused by the vowels.

5:59 pm

sprite

lol LeslieAnn and Fran... right with you on that ;)

5:59 pm

Dorens

6:00 pm

6:50 pm

stidmama

hurshy, if it's any consolation... you look good in scarlet... ;-)

6:51 pm

LeslieAnn

eh, to me scarlet means you cheated with/on somebody. your family can get over a divorce

6:51 pm

Jacula

hursh - ((HUGS))

6:51 pm

featherbee

random freebie: ro5/14: r + sounds like word for swear or curse or promise, with different second vowel. then plural.

6:51 pm

stidmama

6:51 pm

Jellen

6:51 pm

stidmama

I have a migraine so sent the kids and Tom off to the picnic our friends are having without me...

6:52 pm

LeslieAnn

oh well they can do without knowing that part.

6:52 pm

featherbee

((((((stid))))))) sending dark shades and a soda

6:52 pm

Jacula

stid - I kinda guessed that. LOL

6:52 pm

evanonut

*flips out picnic cloth*

6:52 pm

MonkeyMind

LeslieAnn...speaking of scarlet...did you know that Leslie Anne Warren played Miss Scarlet in the movie "Clue"?

6:52 pm

hurshy

yes, i should think so.

6:52 pm

featherbee

welome jac

6:52 pm

sprite

migraines suck big time. *hugs stid very gently*

6:52 pm

stidmama

{{{hurshy}}} it's none of th5 business... *emphatic protective nod of the head*

6:52 pm

evanonut

*lays out bottles of sparkling water and migrain meds*

6:53 pm

Jacula

LA - knobbly old trees (and knees!) are gn6/30, or full of gn6/24.

6:53 pm

stidmama

thanks all, I knew you would understand.

6:53 pm

LeslieAnn

i'm sort of named after her, monkey... not like my parents wanted me to follow in her footsteps, they just liked the name. and clue is one of my favorite movies of all time.

6:53 pm

featherbee

oh, nutty's preparing a migraine feast! make sure it's under a very dark shady tree though.

6:53 pm

MonkeyMind

stid...get in bed, turn off the lights and cover your head with a pillow. the computer light will exacerbate it

6:53 pm

sprite

hursh, hope your family will respect you and your decisions. I wish you all happiness possible, and fast :)

6:53 pm

MonkeyMind

leslieanne...i worked on it!

6:53 pm

bichon

sl8 please

6:53 pm

MonkeyMind

i was the director's assistant on it. what a small world

6:53 pm

evanonut

*looks up a sweeping weeping willow*

6:54 pm

stidmama

yes, VERY dark and shady. I have turned the monitor down, and wearing my shades MonkeyMind... thanks for the concern.

6:54 pm

hurshy

but even if they didn't know, *i* knew, and i feel terrible listening to the vows...

6:54 pm

LeslieAnn

you worked on it? that is the coolest thing i've ever heard

6:54 pm

LeslieAnn

i had that gn 6/24, thanks, i am looking for the last one, after the annoying bug

6:54 pm

featherbee

*giggle* i love listening to daniel's play talk when he's in the tub.

6:54 pm

MonkeyMind

eh...not so cool or glamorous. it's kind of the staple out here in l.a.

6:54 pm

MonkeyMind

but it was fun for sure

6:55 pm

LeslieAnn

such a wacky group of people around all the time!

6:55 pm

MonkeyMind

stid...i get migraines, too. i get that aura first, and take an imitrex immediately

6:55 pm

stidmama

stidmatt used to say, "dub dub dub whoosh!" when playing with fishies... [translate: glub glub glub splash!]

6:55 pm

Jellen

g + plural of sniffer

6:55 pm

LeslieAnn

do you work on movies for a job, monkey, or just something you did on the side?

6:55 pm

Jacula

hursh - I know what you mean about listening to the vows. After my hubby left me I couldn't go to a wedding for ages for fear of loudly saying, 'HA!' (in a bitter sort of way). I guess the boot on the other foot feels just as bad...

6:55 pm

stidmama

I usually get an aura, too. This one had no warning. Hit me hard and fast and I lay down for two hours.

6:55 pm

LeslieAnn

ah thanks jellen

6:56 pm

sprite

hursh, not that I know you very well of course, but th5 are several kinds of cheating and being untrue to your vows. You cannot have been happy with your husband if you have decided to cheat on him. The5 must have been pain and emptiness in your relation before... and your husband was responsible for that as well.

6:56 pm

featherbee

he's saying choo choo, playing with his tub thomas i think. other random noises too. oh, yesterday, for the better part of the day, he was "george" and i was the man in the yellow hat!

6:56 pm

MonkeyMind

leslie, i used to work in production. now i cast commercials

6:56 pm

MonkeyMind

did a bit of acting, too. like all los angelenos. :)

6:56 pm

stidmama

too cute, feather!

6:56 pm

LeslieAnn

oooh anything we might have seen?

6:56 pm

featherbee

ok, he's done i think. might bbl!

6:56 pm

hurshy

well i didn't DECIDE to cheat on him, it just HAPPENED.

6:56 pm

Jacula

sprite's right, hursh. There must be a problem of some kind for the severance to take place.

6:57 pm

Jellen

he5/16, last?

6:57 pm

LeslieAnn

re 6/21 and re 7/32, i'm assuming combo?

6:57 pm

Jellen

6:58 pm

hurshy

i'm not beating myself up, i'm just not beating around the bushes :)

6:58 pm

Jacula

LOL, hursh. Okay.

6:58 pm

FranMag

sorry, i got dragged into the kitchen to get a snack for my daughter

6:59 pm

stidmama

hurshy -- I "played the field" for a long time before I found the right man. Occasionally there is a twinge of guilt... but the truth is, when I found my Tom, I knew he was right. I suspect, because you married so young, you didn't have a chance to do that... and I think it's not logical to expect those vows to be "one size fits all."

6:59 pm

Jacula

*Now has mental image of Franmag being dragged along by her hair by daughter.*

6:59 pm

stidmama

*sniffing air and looking around for PB&J that Fran brought me*

6:59 pm

hurshy

what on earth can the righthand U be??????

6:59 pm

sprite

I am with Jac on this, you are being very hard on yourself. Take responsibility, but keep in mind that you have to be responsible for yourself in the first place. Being human is no crime, and having a non-working relationship is a matter of both partners, not of one.

6:59 pm

FranMag

that's basically it jac, she's very insistent!

6:59 pm

hurshy

oh i know.

6:59 pm

7:26 pm

Jacula

Oh! I've just realised from the hursh clue for sl6 that I've already got it! LOL. I was thinking of it as what farmers spread on their fields. (Manure in liquid form.)

7:27 pm

FranMag

i was stuck on it being a noun

7:27 pm

freebie from me: the thing you speak, eat and kiss with, plus plural... only change first letter into R.'

we have 17 acres, much in blackberries. not on purpose mind you. but we do have a logan, a thornless boysen on purpose. :) just found a wild Bing cherry tree today. (in OR, USA) Ollie's are N. CA

7:28 pm

featherbee

somebody be my willpower and kick me out if i'm still here in 10 minutes! i need to work on the crib.

7:28 pm

sprite

they drove me bananas, monkeyed and even opened a2z ;)

7:28 pm

Jacula

stid - It took me some time to realise that what you in the USA call a 'yard' is what most other folks call a 'garden'. A 'yard' here in UK is either a measurement of 3ft. or a concereted area for utility or haulage purposes. The hardstanding outside your back door, if 'poshed up', is a patio here. LOL.

7:29 pm

stidmama

oh! how much fun it would be to have the sort of land, woods. We have one acre, and I am planting it as full of fruiting things as I can.

7:29 pm

sprite

but we like your company, feather!

7:29 pm

Jellen

ty, sprite

7:29 pm

Ping

marionberry - that's what i was trying to remember

7:29 pm

featherbee

a garden is what's planted with things...if my 4 acre yard was a garden, i'd be in trouble!

7:29 pm

Ping

hey feather

7:29 pm

FranMag

okay heather, but i won't kick, i'll gently nudge.

7:29 pm

stidmama

true Jac -- AND feather! I can barely keep up with the half acre that is currently under cultivation.

7:29 pm

helenary

sorry got distracted!! Help plese with he4/5 and he5/12 just after the prince william one.

7:29 pm

hurshy

marion berry - was that a mayor of new york, or an olympic runner...?

7:29 pm

Ping

if my 4 square foot yard were a garden, i'd be in trouble

7:30 pm

featherbee

ok, a slight push out the door would help!

7:30 pm

featherbee

so in 10 minutes, everybody get real boring, ok?

7:30 pm

stidmama

feather, it's easy to do... either you get the crib put together, or the baby sleeps with you until it's in high school....

7:30 pm

7:31 pm

7:32 pm

featherbee

any potty training tips out there? he knows what to do, and where to do it, and is doing well as long as he's bare bottomed, but we tried underwear today and he thinks it's just another diaper. i'm assuming just time and talking will help?

7:32 pm

stidmama

I hear that feather, our kids slept with us too, but it was nice to have a safe "landing zone" when I just had to use the ladies room...

7:32 pm

Jacula

In 10 mins time, girls (and any chaps here) shall we start telling feather our gruesome-est (?) birthing stories? *grins wickedly* That should see her off!

7:32 pm

Ping

re potty training

7:32 pm

bichon

M&M's worked for my daughter.

7:32 pm

stidmama

our younger kid was not interested in training until he saw scooby doo underwear. I told him he couldn't have it unless he kept it dry. So he did. Day AND night!

7:33 pm

sprite

you will do fine, timhorton, just give it time.

7:33 pm

bichon

common sense for my son

7:33 pm

Ping

of course we used thomas tank train as the bribes - i wouldn't recommend them any longer

7:33 pm

Jacula

feather - join the club! LOL

7:33 pm

daniel doesn't seem to care about the undies....unless they're dora! WHY do the creators think only girls like dora? stupid pink lace....

7:34 pm

Re potty training - neither our son nor our daughter was banned from the bathroom when either of us 'went'. They got the idea of what to do fairly fast.

7:34 pm

hurshy

let him wet the undies and make him leave 'em on. i should think that would teach him quick enough.

7:34 pm

Ping

and pearl would love cars underwear if they made it for girls

7:34 pm

kristinc

hi everyone...tee hee about the undies...I love a freespirit!

7:34 pm

featherbee

we're doing a sticker chart, every 10 stickers, a present...that's helped with him going to use it on his own. and an immediate hershey kiss if he poops on the potty, which he has yet to do. he waits till i put on a pull up for naptime, then does it when he wakes up.

7:34 pm

FranMag

helen, a really hot pepper, sounds like mr. de bergerac with the big nose

7:34 pm

Jellen

7:34 pm

he's young enough. My boys wore any colors they liked... and it was okay with us. They were happy, we were happy

7:34 pm

7:35 pm

stidmama

hi kristin! how are you feeling? did you see the pics of feather with daniel at the lake?

7:35 pm

Jacula

Leaving wet (or worse) undies/nappies on them for a while also underlines the lesson. It's nice and warm when you first 'do it'... but not for long!

7:35 pm

8:09 pm

Jacula

Do you know, not being a mathematical type person, I still can't work out how the rankings work? How fast a time you do the grid in doesn't seem to figure. But how is it that when I go away on holiday and don't play for a week or 2 weeks, my placing can go UP? Yet, if I stay here and play every small and massive grid every bl**dy day, I can ei6/21 go up or down???

8:09 pm

Ping

8:10 pm

not finishing a grid is bad. worse than not doing it. because it only counts grids where you enter a word.

8:10 pm

Jacula

Fran - I was only joking about the boring!xxxx

8:11 pm

Jacula

hursh - I very rarely don't finish a grid.

8:11 pm

grannyrose

have that, ibd, must be the sh6/21 after that, pls

8:11 pm

lbdawger

does it have to do with how many players th5 are that day?

8:11 pm

kristinc

nope, I agree jac...sometimes I can do a grid each day for weeks and nothing changes and then one day, it is totally different...sometimes up, sometimes down

8:12 pm

Jacula

kristinc - not just me then! Glad to hear it.

8:12 pm

kristinc

it bugs me so I just stopped checking

8:12 pm

lbdawger

rmcc, drop the last vowel and add another hook with plural ending

8:12 pm

darin

8:13 pm

Jellen

hurshy

8:16 pm

hurshy

8:16 pm

greenbayladi

sh***T

8:16 pm

lbdawger

in order, sh6.21's another name for scissors, sh+ 3rd vowel + ** Cid plural; More than one in degree of bashfullness; place where hobbits live; sh+ 3rd vowel + double hook + snake

8:16 pm

8:18 pm

lbdawger

th8 a 9 are related to the th4.5 in that they have the first four letters the same

8:18 pm

Jacula

th8, Hursh = th + personal pronoun + 'belonging to us' + the 2 vowels that begin the phrase' **ch and every one' The 9 is the plural.

8:58 pm

Jellen

It's actually babelfish, I think. From the Douglas Adams series, Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

8:58 pm

Jacula

Babelfish is the Altavista translation site. Babblefish is a word that's come into net dictionaries via mistyping of Babelfish.

8:59 pm

hurshy

and a babblefish is a word that you miss that's easy :)

8:59 pm

hurshy

8:59 pm

Jacula

Jellen - Yes, and Hitchhiker's, too.

8:59 pm

lbdawger

well, since rennie is the one who suggested it...i'll go with hursh's def

9:00 pm

hurshy

i'm tired. can i have a clue for the re6/7 combo before re4 "count on"?

9:00 pm

Jacula

hursh - I thought that was a Babblet? However. the fish end seems better, since you get them thrown at yuor for missing easy plurals and words like the Babblet et4 for needlecase.

9:01 pm

hurshy

babblets are like et4

9:01 pm

Jellen

It's a little fish you put in your ear that instantly translates all languages into your native tongue.

lbdawger

hursh, re+ the bottom of your foot the achilles part

9:02 pm

Talking of 'licking' feather, my Other Half managed to embarrass myself, the male check-out guy and the female packer by him earlier. As I was about to pay for my goods, I saw him get out the Cadbury's chocolate eclair (toffee chews) he'd picked up n another shop earlier. 'That's cruel!' I said (thinking of the pain I've had for past month with bad molar and then post-extraction). 'You know I like those! That's nasty of you to have one!' He popped the toffee casually into his mouth and then said, 'Well, you know the answer... just SUCK IT!'
