Hi Everyone

1:43 am

CsCdeFounder

i actually found this to be the easiest puzzle, by far, since coming to this site last week

1:43 am

CsCdeFounder

hi lynx

1:43 am

lynxxx

Soxfan - the littleones tend to be really hard. do you use Lickety's list? link under Friends bottom left of this screen

1:45 am

lynxxx

Hi CCF - still playing I see, so Babble must be challenging enough for you?

1:46 am

soxfan22792

nope this is my first time here actually

1:46 am

CsCdeFounder

not particularly, to be honest...but it usually kills an hour of time when i'm bored (not tonight, but most times it does on the bigger ones)

1:47 am

soxfan22792

how do you switch puzzles (if you can)

1:47 am

CsCdeFounder

same puzzle for 24 hrs, sox

1:47 am

CsCdeFounder

can't switch them

1:47 am

soxfan22792

o

1:47 am

soxfan22792

thanks

1:48 am

lynxxx

Soxfan...most of use use Licketys list when we are stuck finding any more words...recommend it highly

1:48 am

soxfan22792

how do i use it?

1:49 am

lynxxx

Go to the link below to open it...it will give you (in alphabetical order) the first 2 letters of each word and the number of letters. I used to use 2 windows side-by-side

1:51 am

happy 4th everyone!

1:52 am

soxfan22792

ok thanks

1:52 am

lynxxx

Congrats Monkey...I'm just watching Licketys clip too

1:53 am

soxfan22792

wait so it gives the first 2 letters then what do the numbers mean?

1:54 am

CsCdeFounder

wtg monkey

1:54 am

lynxxx

the number before the comma is how many letters in the word. the number after is the points for that word. Read the Help menu above for how the points work

1:55 am

soxfan22792

o ok

1:55 am

CsCdeFounder

sox - the numbers correspond to word length and total points. As an example, di 4/5 means it's a 4 letter word that starts with di and is worth 5 total points.

1:56 am

lynxxx

Bye everyone. and goodluck Soxfan - see you again

1:56 am

Hi jilli, congratulations.

2:05 am

Atalante

yes, just about. arm's still swollen though! unbelievable! I thought a bee sting was just a bit of pain for a few moments! Ankhorite suggested that I pop into the dr at some point to tell them I had such a bad reaction to get an epipen for if it happens again

2:05 am

Jellen

Congrats, jilli!!!

2:06 am

FMitch

That sounds like a very sensible idea, glad you are feeling better :)

2:07 am

yes, I thought that was a very sensible idea. She misses babble so much, but just hasn't got time to come and play :(

2:07 am

Tecnogrrl

1 thing I shouldn't be...and that is UP!

2:10 am

FMitch

I think once you have established yourself in babble you become part of the global family and even if you don't play that often as a result of o/s infulences you are still always family.

2:11 am

Tecnogrrl

I have the iod word...what's the other I word?

OK now for the last 7 words!

4:37 am

Lizsark

OMG I have just had THE most ridiculous thing happen to me!!!

4:38 am

Haz1558

Which was?

4:39 am

Lizsark

I write a blog about where we live. Every year we have a Taverners cricket match here with celebs playing. This year the main celeb was Toyah but shes not coming now

4:39 am

Andree

hi everyone

4:39 am

Haz1558

Hello Andree!

4:39 am

Lizsark

So I wrote on my blog that she had pulled out and I've just had a call from someone who says Toyah's pa wants my blog changed to remove that sentence!!!

4:40 am

Andree

i am sooo happy to see a small grid as with the end of financial year i have been too busy to even make an attempt with anything larger

4:40 am

Haz1558

Does Toyah feel that her public image will be tarnished by you telling the truth?

4:40 am

Andree

who is toyah?

4:41 am

Lizsark

Because I am so important and so many people read my personal blog???? LOL LOL LOL

4:41 am

Haz1558

Andree, it's small but with a few 'novelty' words scattered about. But it shouldn't take you too long to get back to the financial stuff.

4:41 am

Haz1558

Exactly, Andree - she's hardly world celebrity status.

4:41 am

Lizsark

She WAS a pop star Andree

4:42 am

Haz1558

Eighties pop star, now actress, took part in 'I was a celebrity, resurrect my career by watching me eat maggots'.

4:42 am

Andree

i live under a rock i know as i have never heard of her

4:42 am

Lizsark

ROFL Haz

4:43 am

Haz1558

Well, I mean....

4:43 am

Andree

i haven't missed much then

4:43 am

Lizsark

I never heard anything so stupid in my life as this request to change something that is the truth that noone would ever read anyway!!!

4:43 am

Haz1558

You've missed nothing, Andree.

4:43 am

Lizsark

Talk about ego!

4:44 am

Haz1558

I dare you to put it in the blog.

4:44 am

Lizsark

I'm very tempted Haz

Haz1558

And be sure to tell us where to find the blog so that we can't read it.

4:44 am

Lizsark

dont suppose anyone can clue me the last do 5/12 pls

4:45 am

Haz1558

do5/12 - Miss Summer, Miss Air, Madge with the Ma taken off from the front.

4:45 am

Lizsark

Haz my blog address is on my profile ...now I wonder what I could put that I can get away with without Toyah wanting to sue me!

4:45 am

Andree

i just found a do that oops what haz said

4:46 am

Lizsark

ah got it ty Haz

4:46 am

Haz1558

Okay, so casually as all get out, I will read the blog....

4:46 am

Lizsark

I already removed the offending truthful statement lol

4:48 am

Haz1558

Oh, Liz, the pressures have got to you.

4:50 am

Lizsark

My mind is boggling over the sheer arrogance of some people Haz!!

4:50 am

Haz1558

But how did the PA find your blog? Are they googling Toyah obsessively to find any and all mentions of her?

4:50 am

Andree

you shouls have left it there liz

4:50 am

Lizsark

Haz...I may have remembered this wrong but I'm sure that FMitch said if anyone saw you to say hello

4:51 am

Lizsark

Well that was what I wanted to know Haz...Its not like google would put a blog like mine very high up on their results list!!!

4:51 am

Haz1558

Oh,that was nice of her - she's probably away working today, hopefully I'll 'see' her later today.

4:51 am

Lizsark

:))

4:51 am

Haz1558

I'll try googling Toyah and see what happens...

4:52 am

Haz1558

I googled Toyah Willcox, Sark and your blog came up top spot!

4:53 am

Lizsark

ROFL I just did that and guess what??? If you google Toyah Sark, it still brings up my original sentence even though I removed it from the blog HA HA

4:54 am

Haz1558

So, throughout the day, we just have to tell people to google Toyah Wilcox, Sark and the truth will out...

4:54 am

Lizsark

I wish you could see me giggling

4:54 am

Lizsark

what does it matter anyway??? She must be soo weird to think it is important

4:54 am

Haz1558

That PA will probably need hospital treatment.

4:55 am

Haz1558

Or a new job.

4:55 am

Haz1558

Or possibly both.

4:56 am

Andree

fo6/30 please

4:56 am

Lizsark

I am all powerful! The keyboard is mightier than the mouth!!! ROFL

4:56 am

Haz1558

It's okay, Liz, just as long as you get a good defence lawyer for when you're asked about the malicious and hurtful nature of saying that someone has thrown a spanner in the works. I mean to say...

4:56 am

Lizsark

fo 4/8 with two vowels on the end Andree

4:57 am

Haz1558

fo6/30 - one interested in eating and the technical side of ingredients.

4:57 am

Lizsark

It was obviously very wrong of me to put it and I am suitably chastened ;-)

4:57 am

Lizsark

Honest!

4:57 am

Andree

thx liz and haz

4:57 am

Haz1558

I can tell that, you're writing in a very chastened manner.

4:58 am

Lizsark

I have 4 words left and I am totally stuck

4:58 am

Haz1558

You're welcome, Andree.

4:58 am

Lizsark

LOL Haz

4:58 am

Lizsark

yw Andree

4:58 am

Haz1558

I'm happy to help if you want clues, or if you want to keep going, that's fine.

4:59 am

Lizsark

oh go on then ;-)

4:59 am

Lizsark

an 4/4 (yes a 4 letter word believe it or not!)

4:59 am

Lizsark

the 2nd one

5:00 am

Haz1558

The second one differs from the first in only one letter. Change the double consonant for a vowel. In fact move one letter on in the alphabet.

5:00 am

Lizsark

strange word! ty

5:01 am

Lizsark

az 5/22?

5:01 am

Haz1558

az5/22 - az plus the first three letters of a false god

5:02 am

Haz1558

A lazy sounding false god, to be precise.

5:02 am

Lizsark

even stranger! I must go and look that one up

5:02 am

Lizsark

ty

5:03 am

Lizsark

ni 5/12 pls?

5:03 am

Haz1558

ni5/12 - combine the baby louse with his passport

5:03 am

Lizsark

oh well it was chemistry! Forget it no wonder I couldnt get it without your help Haz LOL

5:04 am

Haz1558

I know, chemistry isn't exactly top of my vocabulary list either.

5:04 am

Lizsark

neither are baby lice but I'm working on it LOL

5:05 am

Haz1558

An alternative clue, ni plus three letters of what, along with time, waits for no man.

5:05 am

Lizsark

ah....another weird one! I'm learning so much!

5:05 am

Lizsark

and my very last one....

5:05 am

Alleyn

Don't get the passport clue?

5:06 am

Haz1558

(Dedicated to Toyah Wilcox)

5:06 am

Lizsark

it was for the last two letters Alleyn

5:06 am

Lizsark

Laughing at Haz

5:06 am

Lizsark

zo 5/22??

5:06 am

Haz1558

Alleyn - it's a shortened d form of identification at the end of the word.

5:07 am

Haz1558

zo5/22 - animals enclosed show their passports

5:08 am

Lizsark

Yahoo!!!! Fireworks!!!! I owe you lots of help one day Haz :)) TY

5:08 am

Haz1558

You're welcome - congratulations!

5:09 am

Andree

yay liz

5:09 am

Lizsark

Right I'm off to weep buckets of sorrow at having offended a pop goddess....

5:09 am

Haz1558

Can I send over some sackcloth?

5:09 am

Haz1558

Raid the hearth for some ashes.

5:09 am

Lizsark

It would be too good for me Haz

5:10 am

Haz1558

I'm surprised I'm even talking to you. I suppose it shows that I'm very forgiving.

5:10 am

Lizsark

Never again will I throw a spanner anywhere!

5:10 am

Lizsark

You are very merciful Haz

5:11 am

Andree

please don't mention i have never heard of her if you do happen to meet

5:11 am

Haz1558

I think so. But I will tell others about you so that they can be shocked as well.

5:11 am

Lizsark

She would be mightily offended if I did Andree

5:11 am

Andree

shame upon me!!!

5:12 am

Lizsark

from now on until the end of time I shall never utter another truthful word....

5:12 am

Andree

lol liz

5:13 am

Lizsark

so if I tell you I'm staying you will totally understand that I really mean I'm off now! Thanks for the laughs Andree & Haz see you both soon

5:13 am

Haz1558

You've learned your lesson - it's been character building, hasn't it?

5:13 am

Lizsark

very! I'm stronger than a brick wall now!

5:14 am

Haz1558

Bye Liz - be safe! (Watch out for crazed PAs with revenge in mind)

5:14 am

Andree

Haz - as always you are a star! Off for a while. Back to watch Wimbledon .......if only

5:16 am

Haz1558

A relief for you, then!

5:17 am

Dianne

Haz - I always thought there was an E at the end of that word - duh. thanks

5:17 am

Haz1558

Bye Alleyn - Wimbledon is a bit of a roller-coaster, mostly firmly on the ground!

5:18 am

Haz1558

There can be an e, I think, but as always enable likes to tease us.

5:19 am

Haz1558

Right, I'm going to take advantage of some dry weather and get the dog out. Back later to say hello. Bye for now.

No, that would take all the interest out of it.

1:29 pm

lucyloo

oops my hand slipped !!!!!!!!!

1:29 pm

Lizsark

HELLO

1:29 pm

LeslieAnn

hey liz

1:29 pm

Lizsark

oops sorry about the caps

1:30 pm

Lizsark

I got fireworks earlier. Just popped in to say hi. Does anyone need any clues while I'm here?

1:31 pm

LeslieAnn

not yet, liz, just started

1:31 pm

lucyloo

hi ya io 5 please x

1:31 pm

Lizsark

no probs - love the puppy LA

1:31 pm

LeslieAnn

thanks, she met her new kitten brother today and was very good.

1:32 pm

Lizsark

io5 io + another word for supper (short version)

1:32 pm

Lizsark

aw bless her. I have a black lab

1:33 pm

LeslieAnn

oh i see you have dogs and cats, liz. any tips on how to get them to get along once the kitten comes home?

1:34 pm

Lizsark

We never had any probs between ours really. The cats all stand their ground with the dogs. They rule the roost around here.

1:34 pm

LeslieAnn

that's good. we are getting one of the feistier kittens so he will be able to stand his ground with the dog

1:35 pm

Lizsark

We always just made sure that the cats had high up places where the dogs couldn't get too them and that they had plenty of escape routes, Eventually they all just muddles along. Now the cats sleep in the dogs baskets

1:35 pm

Lizsark

how old is the puppy?

1:35 pm

LeslieAnn

she is 10 weeks

1:35 pm

LeslieAnn

the kitten is 5 weeks and will be home in a few weeks

1:35 pm

lucyloo

sorry for butting in but i have 5 cats and a dog, and and have found that the kitten will hold it own in the house as they rarely show fear more curiousity,just mealtimes was more cautious x thanks for the io x

1:35 pm

Lizsark

awwwwww I'm so jealous. Oscar was just gorgeous at that age (actually he still is only he's huge now lol)

1:36 pm

Lizsark

not just me daft enough to have 5 cats then Lucy!!

1:36 pm

LeslieAnn

yeah, lucy, the kitten was hissing at first but by the end of a half hour was pretty much indifferent

1:37 pm

Lizsark

Just keep an eye on them at first, they'll soon settle. I had to keep a watch especially if the puppy sniffed the cats in case they lashed out near his eyes

1:37 pm

LeslieAnn

yes, i think we'll pick him up on a friday night and have the whole weekend to keep watch on them

1:38 pm

Lizsark

good idea

1:39 pm

Lizsark

right I'm off to find another game to play. Its so unusual for me to finish the grid :) Bye for now

1:39 pm

LeslieAnn

congrats on the finish, bye liz

3:51 pm

SamanthaJoy

Come to think of it, I'm not sure how legal it is for the tattoo guy to draw a trademarked figure on someone for money--but YAY anyway. I'd like to see it. :D

3:52 pm

Hello Babble Team. It has been a dark and rainy day here.

6:40 pm

renfield

i've been working

6:41 pm

renfield

hey scrabs

6:41 pm

pam

the rain just started here, in earnest, a few minutes ago,,. we really need it...

6:41 pm

Scrabbler

I wanted a big grid today...waaaahhhh

6:41 pm

pam

me, too, scrabs!

6:41 pm

renfield

i did 2 scrabs

6:42 pm

pam

headache coming on....

6:42 pm

Scrabbler

Yes, we need the rain too, but I want it to take place overnight only.

6:42 pm

spanjo

love the little grids have just enough time to finish

6:42 pm

pam

Hope it is going to be a mild one...

6:42 pm

Scrabbler

Drugs, drugs!

6:42 pm

pinkhatlil

it would be great if it rained at night only lol

6:43 pm

pam

took the 3 Aleve that I am supposed to...

6:43 pm

pam

I wish I could tell sooner if the "big guns" were necessary

6:44 pm

Scrabbler

I know, I always struggle with that...wait and see, or knock out what could be bad

6:44 pm

pinkhatlil

goodnight all

6:44 pm

Scrabbler

Good night, Lil

6:44 pm

renfield

i can always tell - i get tunnel vision or my fingers and hands tingle...imitrex.....yes!

6:44 pm

renfield

niters pink!

6:45 pm

Scrabbler

I get blurred vision in my left eye

6:45 pm

pam

an RN friend of mine has lectured me that the stuff I take isn't that much of a big gun, so I shouldn't hesitate--but she works on a hemonc floor, so NOTHING is a big gun to her if you are ambulatory< LOL

6:46 pm

pam

If it's a migraine without barometric involvement, it's my left ear and a feeling like I am in an aquarium

6:46 pm

pam

The barometric/sinus migraines go into my jaws...

6:46 pm

renfield

ouch pam!!!

6:46 pm

pam

night, pink

6:47 pm

pam

ouch to all, ren, LOL

6:47 pm

renfield

yes ouch ouch

6:47 pm

Scrabbler

Look up the trigeminal nerve anatomy, Pam, that is the area involved. It wraps over the side of the face/jaw/temple

6:48 pm

pam

so that would be migraine, yes?

6:49 pm

pam

I know it's not tic douleroux...

6:50 pm

pam

*douloureux

6:50 pm

Scrabbler

Research into migraines has changed the way migraines are understood--not vasoconstriction then vasodilation, but a wave of electrical and biochemical changes, with involvement of that nerve. That is why anticonvulsants can prevent migraines. It is fascinating, except for us sufferers.

6:51 pm

pam

true enough! I had a co-worker for whom depakote was nirvana

6:53 pm

renfield

i was in a study group - i have abnormal brain waves - i guess i was a lab rat.... maltrax made me hallucinate

6:54 pm

renfield

did you see al lthe i i i;s in that sentence - am i stuck on myself or what?

6:54 pm

Scrabbler

Migraines are thought to be epileptic type episodes.

6:55 pm

renfield

that's what they told me scrabs

6:56 pm

renfield

the abby normal brain waves

6:56 pm

pam

i hallucinated from cafergot

6:57 pm

stidmama

6:57 pm

Scrabbler

My name is Abby Normal too!

6:57 pm

stidmama

scrabbler I am still shaky from the migraine I had this weekend -- without the usual aura. It hit me like a ton of bricks between the eyes on Friday.

6:57 pm

renfield

i went into seizures from cafergot

6:57 pm

Scrabbler

Hey and we are all Babblers!

6:57 pm

stidmama

oh cafergot -- in high school I got ALL my homework done in the two days after I took it... not that any of it was legible...

6:58 pm

pam

wow, ren

6:58 pm

stidmama

oh ren, quelle horrible!

6:58 pm

pam

LOL, stid!

6:58 pm

So now, I take the 3 Aleve and the Vicodin

6:58 pm

Scrabbler

Sending healing vibes to Mass.

6:58 pm

stidmama

oh and btw, je deteste la letra Z

6:58 pm

renfield

whoa stid!!!!!

6:59 pm

Scrabbler

Only one of the Z words is "regular"

7:00 pm

stidmama

I have the zo 4... and the zi... *sigh* it's my last wurd and I really really want to do it without help. *banging head against wall, keyboard and hand*

evanonut

7:05 pm

renfield

yes - starts on the 9th mistress

7:07 pm

renfield

i may have psycho theraphy now that we're on the road to recovery

7:07 pm

Jacula

stid - head-banging here in UK describes the way we used to dance to rock music in the 70s. LOL. I used to do a lot of it, but it makes me dizzy now.

7:07 pm

featherbee

ahh back

7:08 pm

renfield

brb - need to make a salad

7:08 pm

Jacula

Ren - why's that?

Except for yes, which wasn't that way, but still high on my list, LOL

7:09 pm

Scrabbler

Bye Stid

Scrabbler

Go go featherbee!

7:12 pm

pam

LOLOL, feather

7:12 pm

Jacula

My daughter's off to the Bloodstock (Heavy Metal) festival in Derby soon. If you look the site up check out Irish band Finntroll. V. interesting. It's the 'RaaAAAH' type of vocals though.

7:12 pm

Scrabbler

It's hard to stretch out 55 words over a day

7:12 pm

featherbee

very scrabbler.

7:12 pm

Scrabbler

Bloodstock--sounds dangerous

7:12 pm

pam

I will google it later, Jac! "RaaaAAAAH" means like whom?

7:13 pm

pam

Ok, so I am GoodSearching it now 8-)

7:13 pm

Jacula

The weekend after that, she's off to The Reading Music Festival and the day she comes home from that she has to drop off her laundry, have a shower and get over to her Dad's ready for a safari holiday in Africa for 9 days. !0 days after that, she is off to university. I'm not going to have my 'baby' at home for much longer.:(

7:14 pm

featherbee

what do the two d5s start with please? (no clues yet though!)

7:14 pm

featherbee

wow, what a busy summer!

7:14 pm

Jacula

pam - those kind of roaring men who make a noise over the music but you can't work out what the lyrics are. LOL

7:15 pm

Jacula

Scrabbler - Bloodstock's just a heavy metal/goth pun on Woodstock.

7:15 pm

pam

She is one busy gal, Jac!!!!!!

7:15 pm

pam

Oh, not intoo the RAAAH stuff, Jac.

7:15 pm

Scrabbler

A safari---cool!

7:16 pm

pam

Much more into knowing what's being yelled at me!

7:16 pm

featherbee

got one , the do5. anyone know what the other d5 starts with? (no clues!)

7:16 pm

Scrabbler

One do5 is pl of do4, and the other is a variation of a do4 (lady's name, or prima do***

7:17 pm

featherbee

hiding chat for a minute...

7:17 pm

Jacula

pam - me, too. However, Finntroll are amusing.

7:17 pm

Scrabbler

Oops, did you not want a clue...it's your last word, huh? Sorry!

7:17 pm

featherbee

ehhh, that's ok! got it, and done!

7:18 pm

featherbee

fireworks not loading. gotta restart lickety.

7:18 pm

Scrabbler

Yippee Feather

7:18 pm

pam

WOOOO HOOOOOO, feather!

7:18 pm

pam

I will try to listen at some point

7:18 pm

pam

Kid Rock amuses me, too!

7:18 pm

Scrabbler

Wow, I just checked the Finntroll web site, and got my ears blown out with hostile screaming and shrieking

7:20 pm

featherbee

doug likes kid rock

7:20 pm

Jacula

Well done, feather!

7:20 pm

Scrabbler

And they are scary looking guys. Are they like Z-Z Top overdosing on Red Bull?

7:20 pm

featherbee

LOL scrabbler

7:20 pm

pam

I like him and the Red Hot Chili Peppers a lot

7:20 pm

greenbayladi

hi all. how

7:20 pm

Jacula

Scrabbler - sorry! I did warn you it was RaaaAAAGH type vocals.

7:21 pm

Jacula

Scrabbler - Nice description. I will try to remember it to tell my daughter.:-)

7:21 pm

featherbee

i love these cartoon fireworks

7:21 pm

greenbayladi

I finshed the grid earlier today.

7:21 pm

Scrabbler

"WAAHHH, RAAAHH, life sucks, go away, I hate you...la-dee-dah"

7:21 pm

greenbayladi

the video is funny

7:22 pm

Scrabbler

It is a cute video

7:22 pm

featherbee

hee, yeah

7:22 pm

Jacula

LOL, Scrabbler. How's Callie, btw?

7:22 pm

Jacula

And ever it was so with teens and young adults, Scrabbler.

7:22 pm

Scrabbler

Callie is doing well and is right behind me---always my little shadow

7:23 pm

featherbee

awww ((((callie))))

7:23 pm

Jacula

Must go to the lickety video site now to see what you're all talking about.

7:23 pm

Jacula

Scrabbler - glad to hear it. BRB.

7:24 pm

featherbee

how did she get the name callie?

7:24 pm

Jacula

Ah, can't get today's. Last one on the list in there was 1st July's Weord Al's 'Polka' Love Weird Al.

7:26 pm

Scrabbler

LOL, it was originally Calvin, after one of my favorite comics, Calvin & Hobbes, then after a few months I realized he was a she and the name changed to Callie. It was a shock!

7:26 pm

featherbee

that was a strange one

7:26 pm

featherbee

oopsie!

7:26 pm

pam

I have the 6 letter beginning with the fo, what does the other start with?

7:26 pm

pam

Oh, and thanks!

7:27 pm

Scrabbler

I got her when she was a little handful of orange fluff, and she could squeeze between the bars of the cage and escape

7:27 pm

Scrabbler

io6=pl of io5

7:28 pm

pam

THANKS!

7:28 pm

Scrabbler

Do you have io5, Pam?

7:28 pm

featherbee

calvin sounds like a perfect name for a rascally bunny

7:29 pm

Scrabbler

Yes! And that comic is a perfect depiction of a rascally boy.

7:29 pm

Scrabbler

I have been very unproductive today, and feeling rather guilty

7:29 pm

featherbee

daniel's gonna turn into a calvin i bet. and then a jeremy, from zits.

7:30 pm

Jacula

Scrabbler - that's how our Flossie ended up being named. We got his sex wrong. Didn't like to change it and confuse him. I guess we could have named him after Ozzy Osbourne and changed it to 'Ozzie' because similar sounding. Didn't fancy him biting heads off bats in the rabbitery though. LOL.

7:30 pm

featherbee

it's a holiday. thus ok to be lazy.

7:30 pm

Scrabbler

LOL, Jeremy IS a grown-up Calvin. Both artists are so clever and creative.

7:30 pm

featherbee

i get zits sent to me daily in emails.

7:31 pm

Jacula

Scrabbler - there is no rule that says you have to be productive every day of your life. Cut the guilt, girl! You didn't sign a contract at birth, did you? *grins*

7:31 pm

Scrabbler

When rabbits are babies their parts are SO itty-bitty, and the testes don't form for a while

7:32 pm

Scrabbler

I know, Jacula, but I have so many things to do around here that relaxing seems against the "rules" in my head.

7:32 pm

Scrabbler

***throwing guilt out the damn window**

7:32 pm

Jacula

..and when a rabbit's very furry 'underneath', it's hard to detect the empty 'tabs'.

7:32 pm

Scrabbler

*Crash*

7:33 pm

Jacula

Scrabs - I know exactly what you mean. I do it all the time myself!

7:33 pm

Jacula

Well done, Scrabs! I'll call the repair man, shall I?

7:33 pm

Scrabbler

Yes, it is, Jacula. But it's strange, Callie does not have nipples and my previous female had 10 (one ended up being removed--she had breast cancer)

7:34 pm

Jacula

How odd, Scrabbler! Not seen that before. Is Callie maybe a hermaphrodite?

7:34 pm

Scrabbler

Silly conversation item---rabbit nipples, but who else would know but you, Jacula?

7:35 pm

Jacula

LOL, Scrabbler!

7:35 pm

Scrabbler

I just don't get it---she was spayed.

7:36 pm

Jacula

Scrabbs - she could have been spayed even is she was an hermaphrodite.

7:36 pm

Scrabbler

I was more aware because of my previous bunny--I had felt the mass. NO, I was not doing breast exams on her 10 nipples

7:36 pm

Jacula

Or did you mean the rabbit with breast cancer?

7:37 pm

Scrabbler

Well, she is quite the little sass, that is what I know---nipper and chewer.

7:37 pm

Jacula

Are you sure she's got none? Or are you just missing tiny ones amongst all the fur?

7:37 pm

Scrabbler

Yes, my previous female was Rusty (also an orange bunny)

7:37 pm

Scrabbler

Wait a minute, I will check her, and risk getting a laceration

7:38 pm

Jacula

Okay. LOL

7:39 pm

Scrabbler

Nope, I feel nothing. And she is upset that you called her a hermaphrodite.

7:39 pm

Jacula

(An aside to any readers)... bunnies can be very vicious when they want to be. Scrabbler really IS putting the unbroken state of her skin at risk here...

7:39 pm

Jacula

LOL! Sorry, Callie.

7:40 pm

Aussieme

OMG, such a tiny grid, but such hard words !!!!! Hello Babbling Buddies.....

7:41 pm

Scrabbler

A Google search comes up empty for rabbit hermaphrodism or intersex--must be poorly researched, for some odd reason, LOL

7:41 pm

featherbee

hehe, interesting conversation ladies!

7:41 pm

featherbee

hi aussie!

7:41 pm

Scrabbler

My hands and arms are scarred from being a bunny companion

7:41 pm

Scrabbler

Hi Aussieme

7:41 pm

Aussieme

Hey Feather.... Hows baby bump ??

7:41 pm

Aussieme

Hey Scrabs !!

7:41 pm

Jacula

I guess the only way to have told if she was truly female was to get her in kit. However, if no nipples appeared after the birth, if there was one, then problems would have ensued.

7:42 pm

Aussieme

Hey Jac !!

7:42 pm

Scrabbler

Featherbee, would you have ever expected to read about bunny nipples here?

7:42 pm

featherbee

very bumpy! i think it did another rapid expansion recently, as i keep bumping it into things.

7:42 pm

pam

Hi, aussie

7:42 pm

Jacula

Feather - nipples are always interesting. At least they are to men when they show through tee-shirts. LOL

7:42 pm

Aussieme

Hey pam.... Awww feather, I know how it feels..... I remember just how it went...

7:42 pm

featherbee

i was telling chat earlier today it was i think about daniel's and my nipple conversation

7:42 pm

pam

LOLOL, jac. To me, too, 8-)

7:42 pm

Aussieme

LOL @ Jac.....

7:43 pm

featherbee

LMAO pam!!!!

7:43 pm

Scrabbler

What did Daniel say?

7:43 pm

Jacula

feather - I must have missed that! Must check back later.

7:43 pm

Aussieme

I'm impressed, its only taken me 5 minutes to monkey the h word.....

7:43 pm

Jacula

Sorry, Pam, forgot to include you in that. Yes, to you, too.

7:44 pm

pam

No problem, Jac! No problem at all!

7:44 pm

featherbee

he had recently discovered his, and was asking about them. asking what they were. (i don't remember if it was today or yesterday jac!) so i told him they were his nipples. he asked if i had them too (we'd already been through the mommies don't have penises conversation)....

7:44 pm

Scrabbler

Once I was seeing a new baby girl in the office and her 3 yr old brother was sitting in the chair "breastfeeding" his teddy bear. It was adorable. He wanted to do what Mom did.

7:44 pm

Jacula

My daughter, like my mother (it skipped a generation with me) is terrified of her nipples showing. Her bras are that 'armoured' that they dent if you bump into them!

7:45 pm

featherbee

i said yes, he wanted to see. he's 3, i didn't care, figured he'll see them as i nurse the baby, so showed him i had them too. he says "big nipple?" stinker! well, compared to his, and in my pg state, he was right!

7:45 pm

Aussieme

I did that too when my sister was born Scrabs... I was only 4....

7:45 pm

pam

Oh, I missed that gene, Jac!

7:45 pm

featherbee

awwwww, that's sweet scrabs

7:45 pm

Jacula

feather - who is this 'Daniel' guy?

7:45 pm

Jacula

Your son, feather?

7:45 pm

pam

Cute story, feather!

7:45 pm

Aussieme

awww Feather..... Jac, Daniel is feathers son.....

7:46 pm

featherbee

my soon to be 3 year old son!

7:46 pm

Scrabbler

What day is his birthday?

7:46 pm

Jacula

I just realised it's your son, feather. I thought you were talking about some new Babble poster at first and got worried. LOL.

7:46 pm

featherbee

that's nothing compared to the day he was playing with his penis in the tub, looked up at me as it was naturally doing what penises do when played with, and said with a huge grin "big penis!"

7:46 pm

Scrabbler

7:47 pm

featherbee

opposite of big sewwell

7:47 pm

pam

very petite, sew

7:47 pm

Jacula

ti4/6 = not large.

7:47 pm

sewwell

Oh, my, how obvious! Thank you, pam!

7:48 pm

Scrabbler

I'll be in Utica that day and not on Babble during my vacation. I have another vacation in August too. No Babble during vacations.

7:48 pm

pam

yw...

7:48 pm

featherbee

lol, reread what i typed with your original meaning in mind jac, yes i'd have been worried too!

7:48 pm

featherbee

what do you do on vacation?

7:48 pm

Jacula

*suppresses snigger at last clue* V. childish, I know. But considering we were talking about nipples and penises....

7:49 pm

featherbee

it's always interesting where the chat goes to on small grid days

7:49 pm

Scrabbler

Two trips to the Adirondacks---yippee! Kayaking, hiking, skinnydipping, and laughing a LOT. The first trip will include a stop in Utica to visit with my mother's sibs and spouses.

7:49 pm

featherbee

ohh, awesome! my mom's up there now, near old forge

7:50 pm

Jacula

Food, sex, football, family.... chat on small grid days. LOL

7:50 pm

pam

sounds fun, scrabs

7:50 pm

Scrabbler

I will be with fellow Babbler, cousin "earth"--she doesn't chat much here

7:50 pm

featherbee

i love skinny dipping. haven't in quite a while though, as the only place i'll do it is in the creek across from my mom's house, and we haven't gone swimming there in ages.

7:50 pm

Scrabbler

I love Old Forge Hardware. A very cool store.

7:51 pm

featherbee

isn't it the neatest? there's also a very nice toy store up there

7:51 pm

Scrabbler

We get up early every morning, kayak across the lake, then skinnydip. It is so invigorating.

7:52 pm

Aussieme

first fa4/7 clue please ?? eyes are crossed already....

7:52 pm

featherbee

not skinnies

7:52 pm

Scrabbler

fa + opp of yes

7:52 pm

Aussieme

I skinny dip in my bath every morning !!

7:52 pm

featherbee

oh, gotta refresh! i'm on the firefox grid, and still have 11 words left here!

7:52 pm

Scrabbler

I hang my bra across the tree branches and call it our camp flag, LOL

7:52 pm

Aussieme

Ahhh, fankoomuch scrabs

7:53 pm

Jacula

Can't remember the last time I 'skinny dipped' except in the bath. The sea is grat for that, if you cn find somewhere where someone won't be offended these days. PC's gone mad in the UK. It's driving the population mad now. Expect a revolution a la France very soon!

7:53 pm

Aussieme

lol @ scrabs

7:53 pm

Scrabbler

:)

7:53 pm

featherbee

there we go, sorry bout the false clue

7:53 pm

Jacula

Scrabbs - good for you, re the flag!

7:53 pm

featherbee

i've only ever done it when by myself, or with doug.

7:53 pm

Scrabbler

The lake we stay at is remote, so no one is around except the loons making their funny noises

7:54 pm

featherbee

my mom saw a loon family this morning! with babies!

7:54 pm

pam

I wish that the pc phase would moderate a tad so that there could be a new one, a personal responsibility phase

7:54 pm

Jacula

Loons don't tell tales to the press, Scrabbs.

7:54 pm

pam

That is so cool, feather!!!!

7:54 pm

Jacula

Let's vote for Loons in the next election.

7:54 pm

Scrabbler

I have never seen the babies---were they on the adult's back? I have seen photos--very neat

7:55 pm

pam

be careful, jac, what you wish for!

7:55 pm

featherbee

don't know, i'll have to ask

7:55 pm

Aussieme

Jac... Monster Raving Loons !!

7:55 pm

Aussieme

Screaming Lord Sutch !!

7:55 pm

Scrabbler

Ah, yes, the Loon Party---they have secretly invaded all other parties

7:55 pm

featherbee

*thinking back to phone call* errr, or it could have been a duck family....daniel was being distracting at the time....

7:56 pm

featherbee

shoot, now i don't remember which it was

8:00 pm

Jacula

Aussie - Screaming Lord Sutch (David Edward Sutch), 3rd Earl of Harrow (though not really any kind of lord or baronet in reality) always made me smile. Odd that, since he was a manic depressive who committed suicide by hanging himself on June 16, 1999, following the death of his mother a year before.

8:00 pm

featherbee

*nudges chat*

8:01 pm

featherbee

anyone follow the Tour de France?

8:01 pm

Scrabbler

That's OK, Feather--I can picture either occurring

8:01 pm

Aussieme

Blimey, I dont keep up with the news ...... I didnt even know he was dead !! **pokes self to keep uip with current affairs**

8:02 pm

Aussieme

Does anyone follow the Wrestling ?

8:02 pm

featherbee

i'm so excited, it starts saturday

8:02 pm

pam

sad, jac

8:02 pm

featherbee

nope aussie

8:02 pm

Aussieme

I dont follow Tour De France feather....

8:02 pm

pam

I try to look at it on line, feather

8:03 pm

featherbee

i'm the only one in my circle of family or friends who does. they all think i'm weird for loving to watch 23 days of bike racing.

8:03 pm

pam

LOL, feather

8:04 pm

pam

a guy at work, who is one of the owners, follows it, as well as a couple of the guys who work downstairs... and, my uncle (actually, my ex's uncle with whom I have remained in touch) is a big fan....

8:05 pm

Jacula

Nope, Tour de France, wrestling and Wimbledon all pass me by. Wimbledon might have interested me had we not been force fed it by our headmistress after her pupil Anne Haydn Jones won Wimbledon.

8:05 pm

bummer

I am a new babbler....I understand the notation (ex. mi5/14) but how do you know how many points the word will be worth?

8:05 pm

featherbee

daniel was born near the end of lance's 6th winning tour. i was concerned i'd not be able to see him win!

8:06 pm

pam

LOLOLOL, feather

8:06 pm

featherbee

bummer, bottom left corner, under "friends of babble" look for lickety's clue list link

8:06 pm

pam

too bad, jac, that that was crammed down your throat

8:06 pm

Aussieme

bummer, the points are the last number after the letters....

8:07 pm

Jacula

It was, Pam! See link to Ann (sorry, she didn't have an 'e' at the end): http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/tennis
/wimbledon/bbc_coverage/2006676.stm

8:07 pm

bummer

thanks for the help! I get it now.

8:07 pm

Aussieme

mi5/14.... mi5 letters, 14 points

8:08 pm

pam

She looks very blonde, LOL

8:08 pm

Aussieme

Jac, its the American Wrestling i watch... WWE and all that jazz....

8:08 pm

Jacula

She was, Pam!

8:09 pm

Jacula

bummer - ... and the points for word work like this...SCORING
Each tile has a point value. To determine the score for a word, the point-value for the length of the word is multiplied by the total letter values for the word:

4-letter word = 1 x Points
5-letter word = 2 x Points
6-letter word = 3 x Points
7-letter word = 4 x Points
8-letter word = 5 x Points
9-letter word = 6 x Points

Example:
Word: BABBLE
Points: 3 x (3+1+3+3+1+1)
Total: 36 pts.

8:09 pm

Aussieme

ok, I got 3 of the 4 z words.... am missing first zi4/9

8:10 pm

featherbee

white zinfadel wines are called this sometimes

8:11 pm

Jacula

zi4/9 : think of the fan or maga zi*es.

8:11 pm

Aussieme

Thanks feather.... thought I'd tried that combo....

8:11 pm

Jacula

Take out 2nd vowel.

8:11 pm

Aussieme

thanks Jac...

8:12 pm

y/w, Aussie.

night, aussie

8:13 pm

Jacula

Night, Aussie.

8:13 pm

pam

stumble upon??? what is that?

8:14 pm

featherbee

it's a toolbar button, and you click categories you like, and when you click on the stumble button it will give you a random website in one of those categories.

8:15 pm

pam

sounds fun

8:15 pm

featherbee

www.stumbleupon.com

8:15 pm

Scrabbler

I LOVE it, Pam--I found it last summer when I switched to Firefox, as it is a Firefox extension. I think you can get it with your Mac too.

8:16 pm

pam

You are right--i just opened thebookmarks toolbar and there it is!

8:20 pm

featherbee

Hello. Minver.

8:23 pm

Pam--you can enter your preferences, then when you view a site you like, you "tag" it to the "del.icio.us" site

8:23 pm

featherbee

i'm driving doug nuts, wanting everything to be done and NOW

8:25 pm

pam

FRAN!

8:25 pm

FranMag

lol jac, i was hoping the flag would show up, but it didn't

8:25 pm

FranMag

i'll have to switch back to US

8:25 pm

Jacula

Try The Maldives, Fran.

8:25 pm

FranMag

is that any different from usual heather? ;-)

8:26 pm

Jacula

Fran - I guess Heather is just a tad more frantic at present.

8:26 pm

featherbee

not really, just a little more intense now!

8:26 pm

Jacula

And who can blame her?

8:27 pm

featherbee

in 1-2 weeks, i've gone from the room to still having computer room stuff in it to now being almost baby ready

8:27 pm

FranMag

what is it 4 more weeks now?

8:27 pm

Minveryork

I came back on to get my last word and I just got it!

8:27 pm

FranMag

yay min!!!

8:27 pm

Jacula

New baby (+ small child already in existence) = nil sleep for about 6 weeks. You have to pre[are for that kind of thing!

8:27 pm

featherbee

yay min!

8:27 pm

featherbee

i'm 35 weeks friday

8:28 pm

FranMag

i like how you combined today's theme with the 4th min! wish i had thought of it.

8:28 pm

Jacula

Well done, Minver!

8:28 pm

pam

ok, pain has abated some. Time to walk--or quickly o-u-t the dog and get some sleep

8:28 pm

pam

Yay, min

8:28 pm

featherbee

what pain pam?

8:28 pm

Jacula

3 weeks to go then, feather... or maybe less.

8:28 pm

pam

headache, feather

8:29 pm

featherbee

awww (((gentle hugs)))))

8:29 pm

FranMag

yuck, hate getting headaches, glad it's better pam!

8:29 pm

featherbee

40 weeks is term. 38 weeks is possible though!

8:30 pm

Jacula

Drink some room temperature water, pam, to help dissipate that. Not cold water; that just heightens the pain at the start.

8:30 pm

Scrabbler

Good night everyone--see you tomorrow.

8:30 pm

featherbee

night srabbler

8:30 pm

FranMag

second delivery is so much quicker heather, i went from my very first contraction to delivery in about 12 hours.

8:30 pm

FranMag

night scrabs!

8:30 pm

Jacula

We keep a bottle of cold filtered water in the fridge and a filter jug out in the room.

8:31 pm

pam

Thanks, jac

8:31 pm

pam

night, scrabs

8:31 pm

Jacula

'Night,. Scrabbler.

8:31 pm

featherbee

i'm very nervous about that fran. going to talk with the midwife tomorrow at my appt. i was 4 and 1/2 hours with daniel! 25 min of pushing! i was induced with pitocin, and want to know how much of the speed was me, and how much was pitocin.

8:31 pm

FranMag

and it was 10 days before due date.

8:32 pm

featherbee

i'd love to go early

8:32 pm

Jacula

I was 7 hours 36mins with my 1st child (a breech delivery done naturally) and about 1hr 35 mins with 2nd child. (Just as well I intended to have her at home!)

8:32 pm

FranMag

doc thought Gigi would be over 9 lbs. if i went to term

8:32 pm

featherbee

see, that's what i'm afraid of jac! i live 20-25 minutes away from the hospital too, so will need to be very careful i think

8:33 pm

Jacula

Having said that about both deliveries... I did get 4 or 5 hour warnings beforehand (which were uncomfortable, but not too much so).

8:33 pm

FranMag

are you having the baby at home or hospital heather?

8:33 pm

featherbee

hospital

8:34 pm

Jacula

Fran - you've been through a labour before and so should recognise the signs this time... hopefully.

8:34 pm

featherbee

owie. he just rolled over my bladder. icky feeling.

8:34 pm

featherbee

or me, jac, lol

8:35 pm

FranMag

i had no false labor or braxton-hicks with gigi, it went quick.

8:35 pm

FranMag

lol jac, i'm not planning any more labours!

8:35 pm

featherbee

neighbors are setting off firecrackers

8:36 pm

FranMag

we got to the hospital in plenty of time though, i wouldn't be too worried about it heather.

8:36 pm

Jacula

feather - I remmber a friend from work passing out when her baby did that. How weird it is how different we all are.... I just loved and enjoyed any sign or feeling of my babbies moving around within me. Tht was the best part of pregnancy to me.

8:36 pm

FranMag

i'm dreading tonight, although New Year's Eve is always worse.

8:37 pm

Jacula

Erm... eek, sorry. meant feather, not Fran. Oh, LOL. Silly me!

8:37 pm

featherbee

ehh, i'm not 100% in love with being pg! about 90% i'd say. kicking or poking the bladder is not fun!

8:37 pm

FranMag

i enjoyed that part of pregnancy too jac.

8:38 pm

FranMag

i must have gotten used to it. i had to empty bladder every two hours from about 12 weeks on!

8:38 pm

FranMag

day and night!

8:38 pm

featherbee

i'm sitting here with a pretty full one, for a pg gal, so i'm bringing it on myself too

8:38 pm

featherbee

i only get up once a night

8:39 pm

FranMag

you may be excused to use the bathroom heather. :-)

8:39 pm

featherbee

ahem, brb

8:40 pm

FranMag

hey jac, i wouldn't mind having more kids, but then they would outnumber us (my husband and i)

8:41 pm

Jacula

Feather - you try (next time - oh, roflol) having a breech baby who insists on banging his head up against your diaphragm (muscle layer twixt abdomen and chest) causes long time pain during pregnancy and for 2 weeks after.

8:42 pm

FranMag

amazing jac.

8:43 pm

Jacula

... and THEN the litle b*gger insists on being born bum first (not great for the cervbix, since the bum is soft not hard like the skull) and then he spend the rest of his life talking like someone born ar** first!

8:43 pm

FranMag

ROFL

8:44 pm

featherbee

ouchie!

8:44 pm

featherbee

brb....

Doll414

My first baby turned 30 today and reading this log brings back so many memories

8:44 pm

FranMag

hi doll, good ones i hope

8:45 pm

Doll414

absolutely

8:45 pm

Jacula

Dol - happy, sad or just bl**dy painful memories?

8:45 pm

Doll414

my picture is my baby's baby

8:45 pm

featherbee

(a friend mentioned perfect strangers, that she'd never seen the show, so am now looking for youtube clips)

8:45 pm

Doll414

actually I was wishing featherbee a labor like mine

8:46 pm

Doll414

8 hours start to finish

8:46 pm

Jacula

Oh Gid! 'My baby's baby.' That makes me feel so old. My 'baby' hasn't had a baby yet, but she is old enough to have done so.

8:47 pm

Jacula

Who's Gid? Is that a new religion? I meant, God.

8:48 pm

Doll414

so very funny in the ironic kind of way

8:48 pm

Doll414

just as I typed about him my son called

8:48 pm

Doll414

he lives in

8:48 pm

Doll414

colorado and we are on the east coast

8:49 pm

Jacula

Dol - all of my humour these days is ironic.

8:49 pm

FranMag

that's so nice doll!

8:50 pm

Doll414

but anyway as I was starting to type before I wish Feather just enough time in labor to get to the hospital but not long enough to feel like it will never end

8:50 pm

FranMag

your grandson is a cutie.

8:51 pm

Doll414

Fran I called him earlier at 4:22 to wish him a Happy Birthday and he was returning my call

8:51 pm

Doll414

Thanks Fran we think so

8:51 pm

FranMag

i'll be back in a bit. my baby (2-year old) is insisting on reading a book this minute

8:52 pm

featherbee

yep, with the first one being four and a half hours, i want to be sure i make it to the hospital in time for this one!

8:52 pm

featherbee

wee, found on aol.com/in2tv i can watch tons of episodes of perfect strangers!

8:52 pm

featherbee

off to watch, night!

8:53 pm

Jacula

Dol - I wish her the same. And LOL about your son ringing just as you mentioned him. My son has the same kind of nose for a freshly brewed pot of tea. He never fails to come downstairss and half-empty it with the huge mug he has. Recently, myOther Hlaf (not his Dad) found himself a bigger mug to clash antlers with! I'd love to shgow you a pic of that but I'm still stuck with my naked, alien computer with none of my stuff on it.

8:55 pm

Jacula

Feather - If you can find the book 'Farmer Flinders' Hat' it's great for young children. If not, let me know through BabAnon messaging and I will scan it in for you.

8:56 pm

Jacula

It's all about Farmer Flinder's horse taking charge of the hat.

9:00 pm

Jacula

Another great book for young children is 'Where The Wild Thins Are' by Maurice Sendak. Mind you, you might have to cope with questions from 10 or 11 year olds about why the little boy in the story has a moustache!

9:00 pm

Jacula

*Where The Wild Things Are

9:01 pm

Jacula

Anyway, enough burbling from me now... everyone seems to have finished and no one needs clues.

9:01 pm

klaurel

I NEED CLUES!

9:02 pm

Doll414

off to watch some tv before bedtime - night all

9:02 pm

klaurel

I had to come back after 4th stuff

9:02 pm

klaurel

anyone have the first NA?

9:02 pm

Jacula

Ask then, klaurel.

9:02 pm

klaurel

and the NI 5/12?

9:02 pm

Jacula

na4/4 - type of Indian bread.

9:03 pm

klaurel

okay, got the NI

9:03 pm

Jacula

ni5/12 = hair mite + little identity.

9:03 pm

klaurel

thank you and that concludes our grid for the nite

9:04 pm

Jacula

Well done, klaurel!*~*~*~*~*

9:04 pm

Jacula

Giving you old style fireworks there.

9:07 pm

FranMag

yay klaurel!

9:07 pm

FranMag

baby was ready for her nap, that's why she wanted me to read to her.

9:09 pm

Jacula

Son just came down into my study and asked what the hell my tissue (r/h side of mouse) was - I told him Whistler's Mother with a hangover. I promise you it does look like that,. Can't post photos at present though.

9:10 pm

FranMag

i can't wait until your naked alien PC is fixed up jac, you have a lot of pics to post.

9:11 pm

Jacula

I did just take a shot of it, Fran. LOL.

9:11 pm

FranMag

i'm going to remind you to post that when you're able to.

9:13 pm

Jacula

I know you will, Fran, and ill rely on you to do so. If you can't, I will have to get a biro out and write illlegible notes to myself. (Most of my writing box is filled with notes or observations like that.)

9:14 pm

Jacula

When I read these notes I leave myself abut writing or whatever, I do wonder if JRR Tolkein did hthe same and that is why it took his son and then grandson to work his notes out for so long.

9:15 pm

FranMag

the tissue and the competing tea cups.

9:15 pm

Jacula

Fran - no, it was the tissue and stolen red wine.

9:16 pm

FranMag

i leave myself voice mail sometimes, on our home answering machine. sometimes it's the only way to remember.

9:16 pm

Jacula

My anitbiotics are done and I can drinkj fuzzy drinks again. LOL

9:16 pm

FranMag

my husband is no help at all.

9:16 pm

FranMag

yay for fuzzy drinks!

9:17 pm

FranMag

stolen red wine? i think i missed that

9:18 pm

Jacula

Fran - no hope whatsoever in telling husbands or other partners to remember things. You must either record it on tape or try to write it legibly when it occurs to you. (That's fun in the middle of the night, with your notebook in reach). Oh , LOL. you maybe get half of what you meant?

9:18 pm

FranMag

btw, i'

9:18 pm

Jacula

bEING 'a wRITER' AIN'T EASY!

9:19 pm

FranMag

let's try that again, i'm going to email you for that lamp kleptiko recipe. my husband likes lamb and i wanted to try it at home.

9:19 pm

Jacula

|See wht I mean? LOL.

9:20 pm

FranMag

LOL, i see.

9:20 pm

Jacula

Fran - i will gladly give you the recipe. Howeever, use one lemon, not two

9:20 pm

FranMag

i mean "lamb" kleptiko of course.

9:21 pm

FranMag

okay, i'll remember that.

9:21 pm

Jacula

Or perhaps 1 and a half. I love Grek food and I loved the dish. Other Half is of the mind set that 'fruit should be served with custard or pastry and not meat.

9:21 pm

FranMag

i would email you right now, but internet is really slow right now and it will take forever to switch to email.

9:22 pm

FranMag

lol, we love lemon with everything so maybe my other half won't mind.

9:22 pm

Jacula

Fran - no rush. Contact me whenever.

9:23 pm

FranMag

Filipinos use a lot of citrus in their main dishes.

And the spring wore on, and the plants developed lovely buds, then leaves and flowers -- and attracted the attention of the little birds as well as Jill's visitors.

11:53 pm

Jellen

11:53 pm

jaianniah

Her garden also attracted the attention of the local migrants... the iris peeked out from among the tall spikes of leaves -- and the deer ate them.

11:55 pm

timhorton

11:55 pm

stidmama

Jai, and all -- please continue your conversations and cluing... this is just an additional distraction for those of us who are not enjoying the fireworks.

11:57 pm

stidmama

The roses sent out lovely full buds -- and the deer ate them.

11:57 pm

FranMag

11:57 pm

stidmama

Jill walked in her garden one afternoon, and saw the remains of her flowers, and the remnant of the wicker basket she had set out the day before, and her heart sank.

11:58 pm

stidmama

This was not the lovely, tranquil garden she had dreamed of and planned for!

11:58 pm

Jill hired a man to build a fence. The deer leapt over it and continued their feast.

stidmama

DRBERNABO

Jill built a taller fence... and the deer walked through the gate.
