Haz1558

Good morning/evening all.

4:03 am

lynxxx

Hello Haz....its nice to see a friendly face

4:03 am

Haz1558

Hello lynxxx - I've not been here for too long but the grid looks inviting! How are you?

4:04 am

lynxxx

Slightly wound up after the day, so looking forward to a nice relaxing grid. Yourself?

4:04 am

Frances

Back again.........just heard that cricket is off today.......more time to babble.

4:05 am

Haz1558

I'm fine, thanks - at the other end of the day, so not stressed yet. Is work still being a pain?

4:05 am

Haz1558

Good morning Frances!

4:05 am

lynxxx

Hi Frances

4:06 am

Frances

Hello Haz and lyn from a very wet Essex.

4:07 am

lynxxx

Haz...slightly - but only 2.5 weeks to go till I finish/retire (well, from that job anyway - might see if a can get a few days a month somewhere else)

4:07 am

Haz1558

There's talk of an Indian summer, but I wonder if they're just saying that to keep our spirits up.

4:08 am

Haz1558

Well, lynxx, at least the end is in sight with regards to the job. I know it has been a burden for you.

4:08 am

Frances

Any type of summer would be most welcome.

4:09 am

lynxxx

So with all this rain in G.B. - does ths mean your 'drought' has been broken?

4:10 am

Haz1558

We never had a drought in our area, but I imagine any attempt to restrict water in England would be met with hollow, disbelieving laughter. Unless all that water was the wrong sort.

4:10 am

Frances

We had lots of floods recently. So, I've been waiting for the annual hose pipe ban to be announced!

4:11 am

Karys

hello everyone.... guess what !!!...I just found an 8 all by myself, now this may not figure greatly in your babble lives, but in mine it is a cause for a little excitement !!

4:11 am

lynxxx

I think I have been confused...

4:11 am

Frances

Great Karys

4:11 am

Haz1558

Well done Karys!

4:11 am

lynxxx

Go Karys!!!

4:12 am

sunny09

hooray Karys!!

4:12 am

Karys

thank you all..... *bowing nicely*

4:13 am

sunny09

4:13 am

Karys

4:14 am

sunny09

4:14 am

Karys

ooo....a favourite !

4:14 am

Haz1558

From Donaldson's Dairy?

4:15 am

lynxxx

an oldie but a goldie

4:15 am

Haz1558

It's great. All those dogs.

4:16 am

Karys

I sent a package of books to Roger's grandson in Australia for his first birthday, and that was one of them. The Very Hungry Caterpiller was another, and Gowing on a Bear Hunt.

4:16 am

Karys

Going... might be better.

4:17 am

Haz1558

I loved the Jolly Postman series by Janet and Allen Ahlberg with the little letters included.

4:17 am

Karys

and, did anyone else do Elmer the Patchwork Elephant ?

4:17 am

Haz1558

They're more suitable for older children, though (and adults!)

4:18 am

Karys

I don't know that one Haz.

4:18 am

lynxxx

The Very Hungry Caterpillar was my daughters favorite (cause grandma read it to her) along with Are You My Mother? (my fav)

4:18 am

Haz1558

They're lovely, Karys, the postman carries letters supposedly from nursery rhyme characters.

4:18 am

Karys

Susannah still has ( and won't let go of ) a book called I'e Forgotten Edward.

4:19 am

Karys

I will have to look out for those then, for one of the other grandsons.

4:19 am

Haz1558

Was the teddy bear left behind?

4:19 am

Karys

Yes lyn, our's liked Are you my Mother too.

4:20 am

Karys

Yes Haz, and all the places they had to go before they got home to get him !

4:21 am

Haz1558

But they got him in the end? (Fingers crossed for a happy ending)

4:22 am

Karys

I really enjoyed reading to all of mine, and it seem to be something they all remember fondly. Of course they did, there he was, waiting patiently !!

4:23 am

Haz1558

Good for Edward! I know, I remember reading to my two as well and loving the time when you could leave out a word or phrase and they could fill in the gaps.

4:24 am

Karys

LOL....yes , that and the expectation on there faces of what was to come.

4:25 am

Haz1558

My younger daughter confused me one day when we were out for a walk, she in the pushchair, the older one walking alongside. 'Sing kwite an tewwy!'

4:25 am

lynxxx

Not fair - Karys has grandchildren!

4:25 am

lynxxx

Translation Haz?

4:26 am

Haz1558

I had to ask again - 'Sing what?' - 'Sing kwite an tewwy' this time more insistently. I hadn't a clue what she meant until the older daughter explained. 'She wants you to sing Mary Mary quite contrary'

4:26 am

Karys

LOL...LOL

4:26 am

lynxxx

awww

4:26 am

Haz1558

So we did!

4:26 am

Karys

I do Lyn, but all boys up til now !

4:28 am

lynxxx

Baby boys give more cuddles - so no loss (preparing for backlash on that comment)

4:28 am

Karys

I DO happen to like boys....( don't tell anyone )

JBsAnno

Does anyone else see 'splat' in this grid? (mmm, this is some tea! -english breakfast for those who want to know-)

4:44 am

4:44 am

JBsAnno

*seeing words that aren't really there*

4:45 am

Colhad

4:45 am

Colhad

I will email lickety

4:46 am

lynxxx

Colhad - it's more than excellent, many features

4:46 am

Colhad

FranMag

4:47 am

Colhad

ohh :(

4:47 am

lynxxx

Its on his Clue List page - over to the right

4:47 am

FMitch

4:48 am

Haz1558

I'm going to the hairdresser this afternoon, so one has to make an effort.

4:48 am

FMitch

Such a relief Haz LOL

4:48 am

FMitch

Oh for heavens sake, that is like cleaning before the cleaning lady arrives.

4:49 am

JBsAnno

I've tried 4 times to get lickety's Babble Browser to work, but when I open it on my computer, nothing happens, just a couple of blank columns

4:49 am

lynxxx

Yeah, but we all do it don't we!

4:49 am

Haz1558

Well, yes, wouldn't you?

4:49 am

JBsAnno

Haz, you look maaahhhhvelous!

4:49 am

FranMag

lol, i do too

4:49 am

greenbayladi

good morning all

4:50 am

FranMag

hi greenbay!

4:50 am

FMitch

I'd be too embarrased, my skirting boards and, er, rather dusty.

4:50 am

Haz1558

Thank you JB - more help needed all the time!

4:50 am

JBsAnno

Okay, FranMag, you look maahhhvleous too!

4:50 am

Karys

I don't, I just go as I am !

4:50 am

lynxxx

Hi Greenbay

4:50 am

Karys

Me too Mitch...I was just thinking I wouldn't dare have a cleaning lady.

4:51 am

licketySplitAUS

Hey everyone - just dropping by. I saw someone finish this grid after just one hour - I think it's not too harsh

4:51 am

Karys

Hi greenbay

4:51 am

Haz1558

Hello lickety!

4:51 am

Karys

Hello lickety

4:51 am

FMitch

LOL thats easy for you to say lickety as you don't play!!

4:51 am

FranMag

hi lickety! if you mean drbernardo, he's just not normal. :-)

4:52 am

lynxxx

Hi Lickety - thanks for that piece of information - hardly encouragement though!

4:52 am

licketySplitAUS

Hehehhehe - true. I think its was ABEs

4:52 am

licketySplitAUS

Oh lynxxx - you finish every one - I'm sure of it!

4:52 am

Haz1558

This is the first time I've realised that it could be Dr Bernardo, I just always saw the letters as a jumble before.

4:52 am

lynxxx

How is our Star Soccer Player?

4:53 am

cyclinggirl

hi franmag. just to let you know, i use lickety's page on a mac all the time!

4:53 am

JBsAnno

Hi, lickety!

4:53 am

FranMag

haz, i just call him doc, always assumed it was dr bernardo

4:53 am

Colhad

hi Lickety, I've been told about Babble Expert, I just sent you an email

4:54 am

FranMag

i use lickety's page also cycling, but the babble expert he sends out if you ask doesn't work on Mac

4:54 am

Haz1558

It makes sense - all the capitals run together don't make for easy deciphering.

4:54 am

licketySplitAUS

cool colhad - hope you love it - will reply now

4:54 am

JBsAnno

Oh, lickety, can you tell my why I get blank columns when I open the browser? I have Windows XP

4:55 am

licketySplitAUS

oh lynxxx - soccer - We won again on the weekend - and I got man of the match 2 weeks in a row! I can't believe it - I didn't play that well

4:55 am

licketySplitAUS

JBs - try this : Run windows Updates, fire up IE - see what it does. Check firewall settings.

4:55 am

Haz1558

You've heard that Rooney is injured AGAIN? England may find some English blood in you Lickety, and call you up.

4:55 am

FMitch

All hail the bright star in the firmament tee hee
Well done lickety

4:56 am

FranMag

wtg lickety!

4:56 am

lynxxx

Too modest Lickety! or otherwise everyone is goddam awful which would be highly unlikely ....Yay for our Man!

4:56 am

licketySplitAUS

colhad - check email

4:56 am

JBsAnno

Thanks, lickety, I'll try that and let you know!

4:56 am

Colhad

ty Lickety :)

4:56 am

licketySplitAUS

Oh Haz - I'm not that good - Geez - Over35's and Division 4 - and Reserve team too!

4:57 am

Haz1558

Sounds about right for England.

4:57 am

Haz1558

(Ducking for cover)

4:57 am

JBsAnno

Hmm, do we have a budding Beckham? (who, btw, didn't play much his first game!)

4:57 am

lynxxx

Lickety - do the kids you coach play as well? how have they fared?

4:57 am

FranMag

yes, but he took his shirt off which is all that matters JBs. :-)

4:58 am

FMitch

Nothing wrong with reserve teams lickety. We have 55+ in our league that I broduce the weekly bulletin for.

4:58 am

JBsAnno

Please note Haz still looks good while ducking for cover ;)

4:58 am

licketySplitAUS

Yeah I coach 8 year olds - This year the 4th team - mixed girls and boys. So far 9 wins 4 losses - so not too bad

4:58 am

Haz1558

All those tattoos though...

4:58 am

Haz1558

On Beckham, not me.

4:58 am

JBsAnno

Tattoos, shmattoos. You should see Allen Iverson's!

4:58 am

lynxxx

Oh - he's gorgeous - until he opens his mouth

4:58 am

Colhad

cool, got Babble Expert running

4:59 am

FranMag

true lynxxx

4:59 am

Haz1558

It's a big let-down, you know, lynxxx, you know.

4:59 am

licketySplitAUS

colhad - Lickety Add is the good part - and use it to add to this chat too

4:59 am

lynxxx

Thats good Lickety...more than enough to keep them motivated - well done on that front too!

4:59 am

licketySplitAUS

one word goes to grid, more than one goes to chat etc. You can try options - thin box - after size and moving it - Don't be afraid to make it really small.

5:00 am

licketySplitAUS

Thanks lynxxx - it's been tough this year - 11 kids rather than 7.

5:00 am

licketySplitAUS

and some of them are really co-ordination challenged

5:00 am

Haz1558

Two left feet?

5:00 am

Colhad

hello lickety

5:01 am

Colhad

using Lickety add

5:02 am

licketySplitAUS

cool colhad - grid words go to both clues and grid. Move the yellow bars to get the right spacing - or hit the middle to hide clues etc. Try all the options

5:02 am

lynxxx

and we forgot to tell you about the extra Fireworks too Colhad

5:02 am

Haz1558

You'll have to wait until another day to test out the wonderment of the send words to clues feature, Colhad.

5:02 am

licketySplitAUS

oh yeah - the video fireworks ;-)

5:02 am

licketySplitAUS

You finished todays grid Colhad?

5:02 am

Colhad

ahh, always tomorrow ;)

5:03 am

ch1212

Good morning everyone. FRANMAG, good to see you -- I just finished checking on Flossie and told my husband you live on the big island. Are you prepared?

5:03 am

FranMag

5:03 am

ch1212

Oh! For some reason I had you in Hilo ... now I remember, Pearl City?

5:04 am

FranMag

it's not tracking to hit us, but we have our water, MREs and canned goods standing by. :-)

5:04 am

Colhad

ohh yeh, saw a fireworks display not long before you came in Licktey

5:04 am

licketySplitAUS

5:04 am

Colhad

Lickety

5:04 am

FranMag

5:04 am

ch1212

Good. We'll be thinking good thoughts for all concerned.

5:04 am

licketySplitAUS

Colhad - did you get the fireworks video then when you started it?

5:05 am

licketySplitAUS

Hit Refresh Babble if you didn't

5:05 am

Colhad

nope

5:05 am

FMitch

Fran is this a hurricane heading your way?

5:05 am

FranMag

there's a new babbler that's on the Big Island, everyone think send good vibes for her.

5:06 am

FranMag

it's hitting the Big Island (Hawaii) tonight, but weakening and shouldn't be a problem for us (cross your fingers)

5:06 am

lynxxx

May you ALL be safe!

5:06 am

sunny09

thinking of you Fran :)

5:06 am

FranMag

coming from Guam though, i've experienced enough erratic storms to know that anything can happen.

5:06 am

FMitch

Ditto what lynxxx said and everything is crossed even though it makes typing rather hard :)

5:07 am

ch1212

It looks massive on the radar in relationship to the size of the islands, but all hurricanes do.

5:07 am

FranMag

lol FM! thanks. :-)

5:07 am

lynxxx

BBS organising some dinner

5:08 am

FranMag

No pressure, then.

5:12 am

FMitch

Nods off whilst waiting for the question.

5:12 am

Haz1558

Wake up!

5:12 am

Karys

I have some pork chops and some shop bought stuffing, cranberry and spiced orange, I thought I would like to top the chops with it and am trying to think of something to caot the chops with first, any ideas ?

5:13 am

FMitch

Wwh what! where, oops sorry, hope I wasn't snoring

5:13 am

Karys

Listen here.... I am having trouble with washed hands again today !

5:13 am

FMitch

Think layer of mustard

5:14 am

Haz1558

I do a pork dish with crushed coriander and ginger, topped with chunky orange marmalade.

5:14 am

Karys

Now thats a good idea....why didn't I think of that !!

5:14 am

FMitch

*thin

5:14 am

sunny09

try marinating the chops in a little cran juice and frying with a layer of wholegrain mustard on top

5:14 am

Haz1558

Mind you, that's over a loin of pork, rather than an individual chop.

5:14 am

Xanika

It wont let me add my words!

5:15 am

FMitch

Yum, Haz and sunny

5:15 am

sunny09

mmmm Haz! Pork and marmalade! I'll have to try that.

5:15 am

Haz1558

It is tasty - the whole loin is roasted/steamed in chicken stock and orange juice.

5:15 am

Xanika

why wont it work???

5:16 am

Karys

I think I might try the mustard idea, with some wholegrain, spread very thinly first, then the dry stuffing mix. They should be ok in the oven shouldn't they ?

5:16 am

Xanika

why wont it work???

5:16 am

FMitch

Don't know Xan, sorry.

5:17 am

Karys

I like the sound of your recipe Haz.

5:17 am

ch1212

Xanika, try hitting the add button rather than enter, and if that doesn't work, refresh :)

5:17 am

Haz1558

They should be fine, Karys, keep an eye on them or wrap in foil parcels to begin with?

5:18 am

Haz1558

It's really easy, Karys, and the good thing is that the liquid stops the pork from drying out.

5:18 am

FMitch

Does the stuffing mix not need a drop or two of water?

5:18 am

Karys

That might be nice, and just open them for the last little while.

5:18 am

FMitch

Woohoo we are all of to Karys's for dinner tonight then?

5:18 am

Haz1558

My mouth is watering already, Karys.

5:19 am

Karys

I will have to wait til I open it Mitch, then see, it just might need something.

5:19 am

ch1212

I'll bring the steamed asparagus to go with :)

5:20 am

Karys

I just liked the sound of it, so I bought it, but not to stuff anything with, my lot wouldn't eat it that way !

5:20 am

FMitch

and Haz can bring wone of her wonder deserts

5:20 am

5:20 am

sunny09

5:21 am

ch1212

Do we want a nice Chardonay with dinner? Or Riesling?

5:21 am

Haz1558

I thought that was an Elmer Fudd version of drat!

5:22 am

ch1212

Or sparkling grape for those who don't indulge

5:22 am

Karys

A nice dry Riesling please, the Chardonay's seem to be getting a little too creamy !

5:23 am

ch1212

Excellent choice!

5:23 am

sunny09

6:39 am

periwinkle

thanks Haz, got the di8 right off, great clue

6:39 am

periwinkle

still working on the st8

6:39 am

carleekat

6:41 am

carleekat

sorry...two fine kids ( coffee#1 still )

6:41 am

pinkhatlil

trashy!! you dont have anything to worry about on that front carlee, your husband left her for you.

6:42 am

periwinkle

found half, bbl

6:42 am

movieman

clue for the 9 plz

6:43 am

carleekat

oh..i know..he was embarrassed too... its just..yes..trashy... and in order to keep the "neighbourhood" together... ( which her actions threatened to tear apart) my reaction..or rather lack of... is/was a bit of a tightrope

6:43 am

Haz1558

me9 - it's a greek plural, I think, referring to the midgut.

6:43 am

pinkhatlil

its still not nice, she obviously has no respect for you, your husband, your marriage or hers, the children or herself!!

6:43 am

Haz1558

me, four letters of dispatch in the past, finish with a three lettered period of time.

6:44 am

movieman

ty haz

6:44 am

Haz1558

You're welcome/

6:44 am

carleekat

exactly my thought pink... which is too bad... her kids are good kids..and her husband although definitely not my type..is a very good and kind hearted man

6:46 am

lynxxx

TY Haz.

6:46 am

Haz1558

You're welcome, lynxxx.

6:47 am

pinkhatlil

some people just dont realise how lucky they are...she cant be happy in her marriage if she's "throwing herself" at your husband

6:49 am

lynxxx

Just a women with no self-confidence who needs the constant admiration of others to feel worthwhile. Really a bit of a sad case

6:49 am

carleekat

no..I know she is not..and she is going through a difficult time herself...she had a severe underbite..or was it overbite..no..under...affected her "bite" and just had surgery to correct it ( this was the woman I threw the "crunchy" party for ) and her appearence has significantly changed... and we all know how we feel when we get a pimple on the end of our nose...to us it is a huge red blotch covering our entire face..but to others is nothing....

6:50 am

carleekat

so am sure..with low self esteem and a drastic change in appearance... she is going through a great deal of inner turmoil

6:50 am

carleekat

not an excuse...but a motive at least

6:50 am

Haz1558

Maybe it wasn't her at all. An interloper?

6:51 am

lynxxx

Carlee - you are amazingly kind and caring - no wonder you are cherished by your husband

6:52 am

carleekat

her husband is loyal to nth degree... there are other issues... hahaha...not so cherished..maybe tollerated lynxx... HAHAHA..thanks for the laugh...

6:52 am

carleekat

he loves me every other day :D HAHAHAHA

6:53 am

lynxxx

I don't retract a word!

6:54 am

pinkhatlil

its sounds as if her confidence was knocked really hard but i agree with lynxxx. i know what she has been doing is wrong and i do not support those of things, but try to understand where she's coming from at the same time. she is in low place at the moment

6:54 am

carleekat

thanks lynxx... I guess you would have to know my husband... cherish..i doubt is even in his vocabulary...

6:55 am

lynxxx

double dare you to ask him...

6:56 am

carleekat

exactly pink... i know her whole history... and to maintain the peace...am just trying to fly low under the radar...and not get my knickers too knotty..sorry to vent here... but helps to keep it all in check elsewhere

6:56 am

carleekat

ok lynxx I will...

7:05 am

sprite

just on top of everything else wild accusations of my work that I am not really sick but working elsewhere secretly, and out of the blue a letter from an old insurance that we are 3 years behind in paying and that they have notified our morgage holder. I am panicked beyond control right now, babbling to try and stay 'here'. Can't really chat right now, sry. Thanks for the hugs and the warmth all.

i'm SO sorry sprite

7:06 am

carleekat

as long as you have proof of payments to an insurance carrier...you are fine sprite...notify your mortgage company with notorized copies of your insurance and get ahold of documentation from your bank and all will be good

7:07 am

carleekat

as for rumours.... what goes around comes around... like in the case of my neighbour... she the one hurting herself... it will come back to bite them on the bottom

7:07 am

pinkhatlil

Iam sorry to hear that sprite !! *gentle hug*

7:08 am

sprite

as far as I know that insurance was closed when we got our new morgage. It has all have to be looked into. I am scared. They never told us anything about still having to pay, it is the bank that stopped doing incassos or what it is called. Now they want 9000 euro before half september, out of the blue.

7:09 am

pinkhatlil

must be off everyone take care, i'll bbl to finish up!!

7:09 am

carleekat

then make an appointment with the bank..

7:09 am

carleekat

7:10 am

carleekat

it will all get sorted out...its a computer data entry glitch... and you have 6 weeks to sort it all out

7:10 am

sprite

right now my husband is looking into it and making contact with some banks/instances. I am just in total panic.

7:10 am

sprite

bye pink

7:10 am

FMitch

Phone your mortgage company first and find out what their situation.advice is. They are usually very approachable and willing to help where possible.

7:10 am

lynxxx

bye Pink

7:11 am

carleekat

its just one of those computer age glitches that happens to annoy us... but in all likelihood will all be sorted out.... and end up being just alittle speed bump

7:12 am

sprite

you all have very good and sound advice and I know my husband is doing that right now. That's why I said I cannot really chat right now, I can't handle it. Am not yet well enough to, I guess, and what I need to do now is trying to come 'down' from panic city to the here and now. Babble should help. Thanks for caring *hug*

7:13 am

7:56 am

toadandtoadette

7:57 am

Atalante

Prawns? Where! Yum! hi :)

7:57 am

Jacula

aw4/8 is a Scottish adverb meaning 'awhile'.

7:58 am

toadandtoadette

oooooooooooooh ok

7:58 am

sprite

hey Ata

7:58 am

Jacula

Hi, Ata. No prawns in the grid... the end's in the wrong place.

7:59 am

Jacula

No 'earwax' either, though I keep seeing it. LOL

7:59 am

toadandtoadette

the "r" and "m" need to switch, I want an exam

7:59 am

lynxxx

8:06 am

Jacula

Ata - Yuk! Just watched the video.

8:06 am

Atalante

8:18 am

Dorens

well, maybe someday I'll get some pictures and figure out how to post them, and sit down to babble anonymous (was suggested the other night, but haven't tried yet) suffice it to say now that I think it was everything I wanted (except the 50 degree weather in Paris friday and saturday) (and the rain the last two days of the barge) but the food.... ooh la la! et du vin! (i am now in love with lugagnac.. thinking i could buy it here i didn't get any and now can't find it here)

8:19 am

NonoNanette

my ex is French and has never lost the accent living here but now has an occasional very weird Southern-Frenchism pop out of his mouth! LOL

10:03 am

EvaNadine

my parents are both from england (outside london) but they have been over here for 40+ years...
their accents are very americanized, but people definitely know theyre from england...

but MAN, went we go back to visit the family, their accent kicks in FULL FORCE!

10:03 am

Atalante

I didnt know that, Eva! You're English really! Yay!

10:04 am

Uneaixoise

exactly! :-) and no matter how hard I try, if/when I visit the Louisiana cousins that drawl creeps back in!

10:05 am

greenbayladi

clue for sp 6/21

10:05 am

EvaNadine

english by adoption, if that counts!

my brother used to think that accents were genetic + the only reason WE didnt have an english accent was because we were adopted...heh

10:05 am

Marjetta

My husband is the same way. His parents are american, but he grew up in Germany. He didn't come back to the states until he was in high school. Then went in the army and they sent him bak to Germany. He speaks both like a native, except for certain words. It is really funny.

10:06 am

My sister and I convinced my middle sister, who looked nothing like us, that she was adopted and we were having rinocherous meat and spuds for sunday dinner once. Well the spuds part was true! My sister and I got in so much trouble, because she wouldn't eat! She didn't care that she was adopted.

12:42 pm

Dorens

we are fine stid.... Just got back from ten days in france, barge trip in burgundy and then a few days in Paris. babble withdrawal!

12:42 pm

Dorens

How are you stid, has anyone heard from fran and has feather had percy yet?

12:43 pm

stidmama

tres avec, dorens! LOL that must have been lovely.

12:43 pm

stidmama

we are fine and feather has the whole birth story up on her blog (baby was born sunday)

12:43 pm

stidmama

and his real name is Nicholas Logan...

12:43 pm

plantgirl

any clues for st 5 (I have 4, I need 2 more)

12:44 pm

Dorens

oh great, will have to check it. And the trip was more than lovely... i ate and drank great food and fine wine and they had to roll me off the plane :)

12:44 pm

stidmama

my mother's first trip to france was barge trip on the seine, too, btw -- now when she goes it's for a whole month and she finds a nice place to stay for most of it.

12:44 pm

stidmama

plantgirl, do you know which ST 5 you need? are you using the list?

12:44 pm

Dorens

have you gone with her yet?

12:45 pm

stidmama

no dorens, i am not a very good traveler with all my allergies. maybe someday.

12:45 pm

Dorens

I didn't get to Paris until I was 50... and this was my fourth trip ( I love it inordinately!!)

12:45 pm

Dorens

And the allergies may improve with age, you never know! keep hoping so

12:46 pm

stidmama

:-) my mother always has such good tales to tell of the people and the food -- and brings back such nice pictures. I loved the ones she took a few years ago of the flamingos in the area near the mediterranean

12:46 pm

plantgirl

I have 5/10, 5/10, 5/10 and 5/12

12:47 pm

stidmama

I think it's called the comarche?

12:47 pm

stidmama

you need the two st 5/18

12:47 pm

stidmama

they come at the end of all the ST, and the first is like dry grass

12:47 pm

Dorens

I've not yet been to the south of france,... somethingn to look forward to. But barge travel is so nice... you get out and walk along the canal, or bike, and really get to see the countryside... which is beautiful. Such flowers. I don't know how they do it

12:47 pm

stidmama

the second st 5/18 just changes the vowel

12:48 pm

Vicuna

you may also need st5/10 - cattle or direct a vehicle

12:48 pm

stidmama

mother thinks it is the "laissez faire,' dorens -- they can't even tell her the names of the flowers! of course, when I try that method of gardening all I get are weeds...

12:49 pm

Minveryork

YAY!Two days in a row finishing re words on my own!

12:49 pm

plantgirl

thank stidmama

12:49 pm

Dorens

I get weeds even when I don't laissez faire, stid

12:49 pm

stidmama

well done Min! (I almost asked what you were doing home this time of day -- did you finally get some vacation?)

12:50 pm

stidmama

rofl... ah, the gardening life, eh dorens?

12:50 pm

Minveryork

Yeah,summer school is over so i have some free time.

12:50 pm

Dorens

Min,what do you teach?

12:51 pm

stidmama

speaking of which, it is a lovely day and I should check on some of the areas of the garden. Going to head into town in a little and change cars with Tom so he has the air-conditioning in the evening.

12:51 pm

Dorens

My garden did miss me, Stid... we had some major major thunderstorm activity here.

12:51 pm

Dorens

ok.. bye stid. see you later

12:51 pm

stidmama

Min -- are you going to post pics of your cottage one of these days? I am curious because I am sure my mental picture is not what it's really like!

12:52 pm

stidmama

yes dorens, the weather has been so strange and nasty back there this summer. okay, see you all this evening/tomorrow!

12:52 pm

Minveryork

I teach English as a Second Language (ESL). I taught a reading program during the summer though.We go back to school after Labor Day. Not looking forward to it. Once I go back, Babble time will be very limited

12:53 pm

plantgirl

any clues for se 5 ( I have 5/10)

12:54 pm

Dorens

we really need an esl teacher at my school// we have many mexicans, some albanians, bulgarians, macedonians, philipinos and our "esl" person somehow got certification, but it's really not her thing... she is a bsi teacher

12:54 pm

Minveryork

se 5/10 is plural of se 4/4 word & other se5/10 adds a vowel to I se 4/4 a letter in the mail plantgirl.

12:55 pm

bubba218

12:55 pm

Minveryork

We have a good mixture at my school two.There are 2 ESL teachers at school including myself (big school)

12:56 pm

Dorens

12:57 pm

Vicuna

My second pe6/21 is irritate.

12:57 pm

Dorens

12:58 pm

Vicuna

My other pe6/21 is French think.

12:58 pm

Dorens

12:58 pm

Vicuna

Okay, then I can't help! =)

1:01 pm

Dorens

1:01 pm

onyx

couldn't

1:01 pm

Minveryork

Congratulations greenbayladi on fireworks! Hooray!

1:01 pm

mcurlschool

heck no; I find time to play during the school day--recess and lunch!

1:01 pm

Dorens

i love being able to sit down at any time during the day and babble a bit... instead of the frantic, frenetic pressure to do it all in the evening, when there's other stuff to do

1:02 pm

Minveryork

My school is pre-k to 5th grade. I think over 500 kids

1:02 pm

Dorens

oh, our school computer blocks the site, which is just as well.... have my own office and would be tempted too much otherwise

1:02 pm

mcurlschool

our school used to block the site, however, the teacher I work for uses it as a reading/spelling game for class

1:02 pm

rolin

evenong all..can someone clue me the st8 pls?

1:03 pm

onyx

htey manage to keep us pretty busy. there is n't really free tme in high school

1:03 pm

mcurlschool

more of the st7

1:03 pm

Minveryork

I can't play Babble at school. My district has blocked any game website. I guess because of the kids or for Babble addicts like myself. I do get Lickety's list, so I use that at work sometimes. That site is not blocked

1:03 pm

Dorens

those folks who help out on planes, and trains

1:03 pm

rolin

oooh i love hearing teachers complain about the work load....now im out of teeaching..lol

1:04 pm

Dorens

mc, i hope no one ever unblocks it at my school

1:04 pm

greenbayladi

good luck finishing everyone.. Have a great afternoon

1:04 pm

Dorens

oh no, min,, you shouldn't have told me!!!!

1:04 pm

rolin

thx dorens

1:04 pm

Dorens

yw rolin

1:04 pm

mcurlschool

the only drawback is that they block the word lists so if you get stuck you are stuck until you get home

1:05 pm

Dorens

i'm just afraid that my addiction is too strong... all these kids will be waiting outside my door needing help and i'll be babbling away!

1:05 pm

Minveryork

LOL Dorens!

1:06 pm

mcurlschool

we have kids that hang around our computers and help play.....have to shoo them back to work

1:06 pm

rolin

dorens..i used to love getting the detention room..cos id sit at the desk playing babble..while the kids just had to be wuiet..

1:07 pm

Minveryork

I keep two tabs open. One tab is Google and one tab is Babble so if anybody comes into my room I can hop over to Google quickly. Now how pathetic is that?!

1:07 pm

mcurlschool

the teacher and I help each other out; she plays on her computer, me on mine and then we share lists!

1:07 pm

onyx

my son's school had inadequete it ( read that unblocked computers) you should see the crap they get into!!!!

1:07 pm

Dorens

oh i can just imagine that rolin

1:08 pm

Dorens

my problem is that i'm the school counselor, self scheduling, and would feel so guilty babbling. somedays i check before leaving hte house and if i have a heavy evening planned and it's a big grid, i print it out and work on it during lunch

1:08 pm

Dorens

but that's just not the same. i like playing on the computer

1:09 pm

mcurlschool

I don't chat much but like to see what all is going on elsewhere

1:09 pm

Minveryork

It's not the same using Lickety's either. At least it is something!Then I come home & enter into Babble site

1:09 pm

mcurlschool

I've got my husband hooked....if I can't finish I let him know and he does it for me

1:10 pm

Dorens

withthe bulk/add.. does that mean if you enter it into lickety's, you can transfer easily when you get home, min?

1:10 pm

Minveryork

My husband won't go near Babble with a 10 foot pole!

1:11 pm

mcurlschool

mine wouldn't either at first....just sat back and watched the grid from across the room giving me words

1:11 pm

Minveryork

In fact, many times it's caused some arguments with us.My husband thinks I neglect other responsibilities

1:11 pm

Dorens

sorry to have to leave... will be back later to finish my last nine (I KNOW i neglect other responsibilities, fortunately there's no husband here to mind tho)

1:11 pm

Sandieangel

Can anyone clue me for the 1st oa5/10 plz. I just can't get it.

1:11 pm

1:12 pm

onyx

1:12 pm

Atalante

min, its psychologically soothing. it keeps you sane. (as well as driving you insnae)

1:13 pm

mcurlschool

my husband is surprised if he comes home and I'm not playing......asks if I'm done already!

1:13 pm

1:22 pm

Atalante

Lizsark

1:23 pm

Atalante

its sooooo hard when you know they are getting sicker and sicker

1:25 pm

Lizsark

I'm kinda hoping (in a not too awful way) that one day we'll just find her asleep if you know what I mean

1:25 pm

Lizsark

rather than a trip to the vets I mean

1:25 pm

Atalante

yes, its so much easier that way

2:52 pm

Congrats!! Is that your work on the website in your bio?

2:52 pm

Uneaixoise

2:52 pm

Atalante

2:53 pm

artlady

Thanks, Une! It isn't.

2:57 pm

plantgirl

2:58 pm

plantgirl

tado

2:58 pm

Atalante

I think the general riff-raff can come in too, I'm not entirely sure though

2:59 pm

Atalante

The ship is Vingilot, Earendil's ship in which he sailed to Valinor. Its a very tricksy ship because Tolkien never gives very stable descriptions! It can be sailed by 1 person. It can be sailed by a crew of 4. But it has oars! etc etc

2:59 pm

FMitch

I could always carry your portfolio for you :)

3:00 pm

Atalante

sounds good!

3:00 pm

3:03 pm

FMitch

Hi Ursh and congrats

3:03 pm

Atalante

um. it will probably end up as coloured pencil over watercolour

3:04 pm

artlady

Sounds good, Ata.

3:04 pm

debjed

i have a colored pencil how to book, but not very good at blending

3:05 pm

Atalante

step 1) have lovely soft pencils otehrwise forget it!

3:05 pm

FMitch

Google reed boats Ata and then add norse influences?

3:06 pm

FMitch

You could get beautiful textures with the hull work and decorations

3:06 pm

Atalante

ooooh reed boats, thats a good one. I've been googling "single sails" "one sail" "viking ships" etc etc etc etc etc

3:06 pm

debjed

have prismacolor brand

3:08 pm

Atalante

oh yeah, prismacolors are nice for stuff like that

3:08 pm

FMitch

Just emailing you one interesting bow shot from google Atta

3:08 pm

Atalante

TYTY!

3:08 pm

artlady

They're nice, but too pricey for me to use with my students. We use the Crayolas, also soft.

3:10 pm

debjed

i need some lessons. maybe there's an adult ed class somewhere

3:10 pm

Atalante

I use Caran d'Ache, but you dont tend to get them over there, I think?

3:10 pm

Atalante

I LIKE that, FM!

3:11 pm

artlady

Oh, Ata, those are very nice. Yes, we can. I have... (have to check!)...

3:12 pm

FMitch

There are 2 more on the way

3:12 pm

artlady

Derwent! Just got them recently.

3:13 pm

debjed

what age do you teach, artlady?

3:13 pm

Atalante

oh they are lovely :D aren't pencils just wonderful these days!

3:14 pm

artlady

2nd thru 5th grade and university, deb.

3:16 pm

FMitch

BRB must put kettle on

3:16 pm

Atalante

strange question, artlady ... how long a lead do you recommend for coloured pencils for detailed work?

3:17 pm

artlady

I'm not very proficient with them, Ata. I find (in my limited experience) that if they're too long they break too easily. However, you are probably more knowledgeable than I in this area!

3:18 pm

artlady

That was my non-answer... ;-)

3:18 pm

Atalante

LOL I do too, but I know extremely clever artists who have leads about 1/2 - 3/4" long. And I'd love to know how they cut them and stop them snapping!

3:19 pm

KatieMcG

could I have a clue for the me9 please

3:19 pm

artlady

Yikes! I just have to keep re-sharpening them--I'm afraid to go that long!

3:27 pm

artlady

They sure are cute!

3:32 pm

KatieMcG

Sorry atalanta - I was lost in the grid. Crumble (the lighter one) is poorly again but she is good at taking her medicine, apart from that they are normal kittens, into everything they shouldn't be!

3:34 pm

3:36 pm

Atalante

oh, katie, have you got a pets@home nearby? they sell kitty cranberry treats that are specifically made for urinary infections

3:38 pm

KatieMcG

Atalante, that's a great idea I will get some tomorrow, after all it works for humans :-)

3:39 pm

Atalante

they seem to work for a cat I know who has chronic urinary infections, they've really helped her. you'll probably have to break the treats in two for a tiny kit, but hey

3:40 pm

KatieMcG

Fireworks :-) I'd better go and cuddle my poorly kitty, thank you for your help, I'll let you know how she gets on.

3:40 pm

Atalante

yay, give her cuddles for all of us

3:41 pm
