12:47 am

GroovyKiwi

lol i just cant see them

12:47 am

Geekmeister

I'm also a computer geek, hense Geekmeister. I work with them and teach part time at the local college. I always say there are 2 words for computers, the second word being computer. I leave the first word to your imagination. Keep a chin up. I've been to British Columbia. I have cousins there and Nova Scotia. beautiful country!!!

12:47 am

dcseain

and jilli, we're here for you, and coworkers will forgive/forget sooner than you think.

12:47 am

melonheadjujube

{{{jlli}}}

12:48 am

GroovyKiwi

good eve herin happy babbling -sorry wasnt seeing your hi down there

12:48 am

jillibus

the problem is I'm 80 and scared I'm losing it because I AM forgetting things, I hope because I'm doing so many of them

12:48 am

Jellen

Hi, herin

12:48 am

GroovyKiwi

hey jilli you cant be loosing it because you can still use the computer!!!

12:49 am

melonheadjujube

jilli, i'm forgetting things at 53 - i'll bet it's busyness in your case.

12:49 am

herinfernallady

Jill we all have 'no brainer days' regardless of age. We love and admire you.

12:49 am

dcseain

and jilli, you maintain coherent, current, conversation

12:49 am

cybernan

only have 3 9's: ra, da, wa -- what am I missing?

12:50 am

joso

jilli, didn't know you where 80. Cann't tell via internet. You seem prety sharp to me.

12:50 am

jillibus

computers are idiots and I'm the one who nearly deleted all the books in the library because I forgot to enter a number when I was tired

12:50 am

jesdraggon

i find internet ranting quite therapeutic, jilli. and free to boot :)

12:50 am

dcseain

ar9, nan

12:50 am

jillibus

joso, you can find out about people if you click on their icons, lol

12:51 am

Jellen

Library systems have backups, just in case that does happen

12:51 am

cybernan

is ar 9 a plural?

12:51 am

dcseain

frankly, jilli, if not entering a single number deletes the catalogue, something is wrong with the system, not you.

12:51 am

jillibus

and you're all reviving me and my sense of humour and proportion

12:51 am

Geekmeister

Remember, even if that happened, they just restore teh backup... Nothing catostrophic... It happens all the time!

12:51 am

dcseain

don't know, nan.

12:51 am

joso

I know, just saying it dosen't seem like you are loosing it from this point of view.

12:51 am

jesdraggon

computers are evil jilli. it's a conspiracy against you ;)

12:51 am

herinfernallady

Jill as the lovely Sprite says 'when i grow up i want to be like you'

12:52 am

melonheadjujube

jilli, any computer system that can delete things because of one key enetered or not is poorly designed. besides, files should be backed up. i'm speaking from my experience as a programmer and a bureaucrat.

12:52 am

jesdraggon

so be thankful for small favors--it didn't catch fire!

12:52 am

loredana

Jilli I think someone has been pulling your leg because no software programme would allow that to happen!!!

12:52 am

jillibus

dc, the system is to be changed soon, but still, I should have been more careful but slipped

12:52 am

DRBERNABO

199 left and average back up to 5

12:52 am

loredana

anyways you ask Lickety he will tell you... wont he mrp !!!

12:52 am

dcseain

eh, ur being too hard on yourself, IMHO.

12:53 am

jillibus

there is a backup, but because of my inattention, several others are to be inconvenienced and I'm loaded with guilt

12:53 am

melonheadjujube

1st da 8/9?

12:54 am

melonheadjujube

no guilt sweetie. no guilt!

12:54 am

chic

making less light, melon

12:54 am

joso

poorly designed system if a typo sends it into a tizzy, good that it is being replaced.

12:55 am

jillibus

gigantic mass {{{{{{{{{hugs}}}}}}}}}} to you all -- I REALLY feel better now -- let's change the subject xoxoxoxo

12:55 am

Geekmeister

Think of it as giving them the opportunity to test their backup restoral process. If they never test it, how do they know they have a good one :-)

12:55 am

melonheadjujube

i have that - the one before that

12:55 am

loredana

Jilli you get hold of that guilt and give it a big kick out the door!!! your co-workers should be ashamed of themselves maybe a little envy going around that library me thinks

12:55 am

melonheadjujube

after ballerinas and before musty basements

12:55 am

Geekmeister

Bablling on!!! ;-)

12:56 am

loredana

Jilli your the best!!~

12:56 am

herinfernallady

oh shinnie

12:56 am

melonheadjujube

yup Geek, i always say there's no test like production!

12:56 am

chic

1:34 am

herinfernallady

Oh so i did

1:35 am

1:36 am

herinfernallady

Just watching news and a lovely old building in Hobart got destroyed even possibly destroying the lovely old arcade next door

1:36 am

jillibus

sprite, I don't feel wise tonight -- old, yes -- blurted out a big wail earlier -- never mind -- this group cheered me up

1:37 am

dcseain

oh, so it spread beyond the building itself. so sad.

1:37 am

sprite

*gives jilli a warm hug*
You are always wise, even if you don't feel like it. And we love you.

1:37 am

GroovyKiwi

ok anyone want dinner - roasted chicken legs, mashed potatoes, pumpkin and gravy

1:38 am

GroovyKiwi

its so nice having hubby home for a week on leave - hes defrosted the freezer for me, made a banana cake for morning tea for work tomorrow and cooked dinner lol

1:39 am

jillibus

when are you opening the Chez Kiwi restaurant?

1:39 am

herinfernallady

The building was 171 odd years old and was next to an old arcade everything is a big mess.

1:39 am

GroovyKiwi

tomorrow hes gonna spring clean the laundry lol

1:39 am

GroovyKiwi

when you come for a visit jilli lol

1:39 am

sprite

jilli... just read back. If you wanna email, my addy is in the profile, just leave out all spaces. The coworkers are probably just jealous of you ;)

1:39 am

jillibus

oh, what a prize hubby, kiwi!!!

1:40 am

GroovyKiwi

he has small moments in time jilli lol

1:40 am

sprite

his way of showing his affection, Kiwi *hug*

1:41 am

GroovyKiwi

must be true sprite cause he sure as heck doesnt show it any other way lol

1:42 am

sprite

that was what I was thinking, Kiwi... Remembered what you told us and thought that there must be warm feelings under all the cold.

1:42 am

joso

hi sprite, great vidios this week

1:42 am

sprite

glad you like them, joso! It was such a pleasure collecting them :)

1:42 am

jillibus

the co-workers are not at all jealous -- they are great people, much more capable than I am -- we are all volunteers and the guy I inconvenienced the most is a retired PhD in physics, a very gentle man, so when he didn't disagree that I might be getting incompetent i have to take that to heart

1:43 am

GroovyKiwi

sprite only thing warm at the moment is the fire lolol

1:43 am

sprite

jilli, does this happen to you a lot lately or is this a singular incident?

1:43 am

herinfernallady

la sigh

1:43 am

sprite

and you, Kiwi, and you. Don't forget :D

1:44 am

helenkeller

yes, i agree - great videos choices sprite - i said the other night, that i was kinda bored at the start of the rainman one, but i'm really glad i'm stubborn & stuck with it - amazing!

1:44 am

GroovyKiwi

phhhhht lolol

1:44 am

jillibus

oh yes, sprite -- your video today with the fantastic juggler was a wonder! Thansk you so much for finding it!

1:44 am

herinfernallady

Sprite Video Rocks

1:44 am

helenkeller

i was thinking that this guy is like a human computer, you just gotta feed him the right information & then ask the right questions & he might just be able to tell you the meaning of life :)

1:45 am

joso

glad you shared them, widly varried, and all interesting

1:45 am

sprite

ah, I am glad you stuck with it, helen. Isn't it just brilliant! I was so impressed with the Rainman. Exactly what you describe! He seems to be so close to the unknowable answers.

1:45 am

helenkeller

yes, today's made me laugh & i applauded right along with the audience at the end - that's a lot of physicality there

1:46 am

sprite

When lickety said I had to fill the week, I decided to pick videos that touched me, no matter how. Some funny, some interesting, some amazing, some heroic.

1:46 am

helenkeller

great choices, well done sprite!

1:47 am

sprite

I am glowing from pleasure right now, so glad you like the videos :D

1:47 am

joso

oh, very much, every one.

1:47 am

jillibus

sprite, I've forgotten more appointments lately than usual but I've also been taking on more addictions like Babble and Geni (the family tree thing) and writing articles about the bridge results -- feeling a bit overwhemed -- but I guess not handling the overload as well as I used to

1:47 am

Atalante

oh so thats the light I can see from the direction of Holland!

1:47 am

herinfernallady

HI Ata

1:48 am

dcseain

jilli, duplicate or rubber?

1:48 am

herinfernallady

Ata your sign i say it as 'explosive dogs at work'

1:48 am

sprite

what I so loved about the juggler... he dances. There is an incredible beauty in each of his movements that comes purely from merging with his art.

1:48 am

dcseain

evening, ata

1:48 am

sprite

hi Ata :)

1:48 am

Atalante

lol exactly, herin

1:48 am

Atalante

and hi all :)

1:49 am

herinfernallady

Be very very very careful dogs go 'poof' in this area'

1:50 am

jillibus

exactly, sprite, about the juggler. I wish I'd seen the Rainman, but as you've suggestd, I can catch it later -- if I have time, which seems to be getting scarcer and scarcer!

1:50 am

sprite

jilli... handling a real overload less easy is pretty normal at your age. I am really sorry you felt incompetent today and no one supported you. Please believe me when I say that I think you are a wonder all to yourself. We are all entitled to make mistakes, even a series of them, especially when it is all a bit muchish.

1:50 am

joso

the magnetic phsyics one, bizzare how like life the patterns where, like coral growth or brain patterns, 2 legged dog, juggler. alway a good suprise, what should be in the bottom of a crackerjack box.

1:51 am

GroovyKiwi

good eve ata happy babbling

1:51 am

helenkeller

jili - do try to make time to see the rainman video - it speaks to the latent potential within us all

1:51 am

sprite

:D :D joso! Absolutely... I think that is what I wanted to do. Don't you love that feeling of not knowing the surprise and enjoying discovering it :)

1:52 am

jillibus

thank you sprite. It's great to have friends, even if they're far away. {{{BIG HUG}}}

1:52 am

sprite

let me check, jilli, hold on

1:53 am

1:53 am

GroovyKiwi

sorry herin there is but i havent got them all yet lol

1:53 am

helenkeller

hahahaha - yes, the physics one made me feel like a complete idiot, but i loved the intensity of the 'narrators' clearly i should have taken the physics appreciation course first so i could know exactly what it was that i was seeing

1:53 am

GroovyKiwi

2:00 am

sprite

2:01 am

jillibus

btw sprite -- my gloom wasn't only becoz of the library mess -- there were other things, like my adult grandson not bothering to reply to emails asking about his plans etc etc ad nauseam

2:02 am

helenkeller

234 words & 1 grey - sheeeeeesh

2:02 am

sprite

awwwww jilli... I am so sorry! I seriously mean this: if it would be helpful for you to vent some of it to a virtual friend, just know that I am one!
*sending you a warm virtual hug*

helenkeller

hiya lickety

2:05 am

helenkeller

another grey!

2:07 am

ARB

Pigeon, it's not a combo re 7 = re + s5

2:08 am

ARB

re 8 is a compound word of two smaller words in the grid

2:08 am

pigeonman

Yep. I just found that one. Still need the re 8 after it.

2:09 am

pigeonman

Crap. I can believe how long it took to find that word.

2:10 am

sprite

jilli, if you are still here: email on its way to you.

2:11 am

jillibus

sprite -- just got back from the Rainman -- what a wonderful film -- how do you find these things?

2:12 am

helenkeller

jili - great, wasn't it?

2:12 am

bookwomen

that is what you do in re 8

2:13 am

sprite

I search for keywords, jilli. When I find a theme that I think could hold some treasures, I type in the keyword and check out the results. Lots of nonsense there, but some real nice ones too :)

2:13 am

jillibus

not only the subject, but the way it was filmed

2:14 am

sprite

oh yes, I agree, jilli! To me it felt like I was gifted with a view on how he experiences things, from the inside almost.

2:15 am

jillibus

thanks, sprite -- now I'll check email and go to bed -- hope to get an uninterrupted night for a change -- dear old cat tends to yell for attenton starting at about 5 am sometimes

2:16 am

sprite

3:08 am

loredana

naughty shane never knows when enough is enough huh

3:08 am

loredana

hello andree

3:08 am

herinfernallady

But still i hate anyone that does the whole 'i love you i want do it again'. This is a man that seriously should be banned from any mobile phone use. Maybe he can be a spokesman for Virgin Text Monster plan

3:09 am

Atalante

3:09 am

loredana

3:09 am

herinfernallady

3:10 am

Atalante

ty! it hasn't made international headlines yet LOL

3:10 am

Andree

3:11 am

Atalante

I'm sure! We all like laughing at Shane Warne over here

3:12 am

Andree

he is a joke , so why not laugh

3:12 am

Atalante

we do :)

3:12 am

Atalante

saying that, he's doing a lot of good for UK county cricket

3:13 am

loredana

it amazes me how females can be so gullable maybe they think oh hge really menas it this time!!! huh

3:14 am

loredana

he is good at cricket and obviously deceiving females who dont mind getting involved with a married man

3:15 am

Andree

thats part of being female lore

3:15 am

loredana

really???? didnt think we were all that stupid

3:16 am

Andree

not stupid. just more trusting at first

3:16 am

Atalante

not all ... quite a lot though

3:17 am

loredana

ata do you mean to say getting involved with a married man is okay in your search for your ideal partner?

3:18 am

Atalante

didn't say it was ok, just say people do it

3:19 am

Andree

true, thats how rats like my son in law manage

3:19 am

herinfernallady

What did i miss?

3:19 am

granadan

Ugh - I spent 7 years with a married man - b*stard never told me he was married.... I thouht he worked away

3:19 am

Atalante

men like it, women fall for it. not all women, thank goodness, and not all men are like that. but some certainly are, on both sides

3:19 am

loredana

herin stop eating and put your tuppence in on Shane Warne and the likes of men like him and the females they get involved with

3:19 am

herinfernallady

My ex did the same thing but on the PC, moron didnt think i could back track his actions

3:20 am

Atalante

ugh granadan!

3:20 am

granadan

LMAO - Chris doesnt rea;ise you can go to pic viewer and scroll back through everythinhe has been looin at - keep me up to date with what underwear will tickle him this week LOL

3:21 am

granadan

I know ata - when he got found out it materialised he had 5 kids with three women - one was mine

3:22 am

herinfernallady

I also found my ex was cheating on me and found the receipt of the ring the girl he was seeing and i went to the store with said receipt and said that my finance had this receipt can i see the ring. They showed me and they were all 'maybe he bought it for you' In 'tears' im going 'no thats not my taste' and 'he spent our money'

3:22 am

Atalante

3:22 am

granadan

3:22 am

loredana

3:23 am

loredana

us girls deserve better

3:24 am

loredana

hey herin glad you got rid of him!!

3:24 am

granadan

I got a stunner this time round - very laid back, ives me free rein. Only drawback is he doesnt want any more kids, says our three are enough

3:24 am

Andree

i think most are decent human beings , its just the bad ones we hear and talk about

3:24 am

Flask1

Hi all....a clue please for ca10..ca/11 combo please?

3:25 am

Andree

3:25 am

herinfernallady

3:25 am

loredana

3:25 am

Atalante

flask - two horrid words put together. ca6 + wo4

3:25 am

Flask1

ok Atal....thanks!

3:26 am

I think ith a lot of them its complete naievity. they kno no better

3:26 am

loredana

whens your birthday Herin

3:26 am

granadan

what value is the ca6?

3:27 am

Atalante

takes 2 to tango. I think I'd "blame" whichever of the man or woman went into the situation with eyes open

3:27 am

loredana

i am glad you have someone nice now grana ... wait for the grandkids much nicer you can send them home when you have had enough lol

3:28 am

herinfernallady

24th of OCtober

3:28 am

granadan

Well, Id blame whoever was cheating - if she is single, shes betraying no one she knos. If he is married he wants a firework up his ar**4,4

3:28 am

loredana

talking about the women that get involved with people that are known to be married eg beckham,warne

3:28 am

loredana

3:29 am

loredana

lol grana

3:30 am

granadan

Im still stuck on this ca10

3:30 am

herinfernallady

3:33 am

granadan

3:34 am

Andree

3:34 am

Atalante

I certainly could!

3:34 am

granadan

3:34 am

Andree

and you are very wise thinking of what the kids might read grana

3:35 am

granadan

my eldest likes to log on here and have a go after school....

3:35 am

herinfernallady

Andree there is actually a growing trend in the um (ducks) older people of long term marriage separating

3:36 am

granadan

yep, and I bet its a hell of alot harder after 38 years than after 5 or 6.

3:36 am

Andree

it was hell and a HUGE decision

3:36 am

loredana

grana your still a baby lots of lifes experiences for you yet maybe forget the grandkids for a while

3:36 am

Andree

but best thing I ever did

3:37 am

granadan

I bet - it must be almost a new life

3:37 am

granadan

yep, Im in no hurry - just enjoying what Ive got :)

3:38 am

Andree

it is and I have so much to be thankful for and I was so desperatly miserable

3:38 am

herinfernallady

I am 30 this year and im looking forward. Having had a crappy 4 long term (more than a year) past relationships i am greatful for the lovely man im with today

3:39 am

granadan

3:44 am

granadan

3:44 am

Andree

3:44 am

Andree

yay groovy

3:44 am

granadan

I love cross stitch, but never get to finish any of it - i get lot, unpick and lose interest

3:45 am

Atalante

I love cross-stitch

3:45 am

granadan

Ive never tried patchwork - bought a couple of books on it, but never plucked up the guts

3:45 am

loredana

go kiwi

3:45 am

herinfernallady

I am in the middle of a big piece been at it on and off for 2 years

3:45 am

granadan

why no korma?

3:46 am

granadan

pics needed!

3:46 am

herinfernallady

I work off the unprinted fabric where you have to count it off yourself

3:46 am

Andree

I love cross stitch, one of my biggest projects was 8 dining chairs each with different berry plants, ex husband got custody of dining suite so girlfriend made him sell it

3:47 am

Atalante

hope he got lots of money for your effort!

3:47 am

Andree

me to herin , i have never done anything but counted crosstitch

3:47 am

granadan

OMg WHAT A WASTE! I ue the blank aida too, but have to do very small projects

3:48 am

herinfernallady

Andree that is rude. If you did the chairs i would gladly say keep it. I am not a fan of patterned cross stitch. Long stitch yes but not cross stitch as they never get the pattern printed right

3:48 am

Andree

i thought it funny that she was intimidated by it

3:48 am

Atalante

I dont like patterned aida, or aida in general. I love evenweave

3:49 am

Andree

i just love linen

3:49 am

granadan

LOL @ Andree - never tried anything but the ada - maybe one day ewhen I quit babbling LOL

3:49 am

herinfernallady

Thats what i never understand about relationship break ups. Separation of property. I never understood the need to be bitter or vindictive in property.

good morning all - can't sleep so might as well try for a few words

4:25 am

jwr

I'd appreciate knowing if se5/18 is a variant spelling of a place or if it has another definition altogether? Got it by accident (is that what y'all call 'monkey'ing?) but it won't fix in the memory without a reference.

4:25 am

lynxxx

Hi Flosey

4:26 am

Andree

hi flosey, thx dc, i need to think on this

4:27 am

FMitch

LOL, funny n'est pas?

4:30 am

Atalante

very!

4:31 am

FMitch

Hi Andree too.

4:31 am

jwr

Thanks FM but I started out that way, found nothing, and then googled "define" without result --- except that it turned up as a MISspelling of a common...very common!...place.

4:32 am

FMitch

ooo that is very frustrating when it does that.

4:33 am

Atalante

there's one se5/18 that is a type of wampum

4:34 am

FMitch

To which I must ask what is a wampum - and don't answer its a type of se5/18!

4:34 am

Atalante

every helpful, eh?

4:34 am

jwr

There's more than one se5/18?

4:35 am

Atalante

well, apart from being a type of se5/18 ...its cylindrical beads made from shells, pierced and strung, used by North American Indians as a medium of exchange

4:35 am

Atalante

also known as peag, another babblet

4:35 am

FMitch

Was Haz on yesterday? Haven't seen her since Saturday. Youd don't think she is having a life do you?
Ah ta Ata

4:35 am

Atalante

Atalante

4:35 am

Haz1558

Good morning/evening all. You called?

Hello Haz!!

The genie of the cooking sherry bottle has arrived, morning dear :)

4:36 am

lynxxx

It's magic! Hi haz

4:36 am

Haz1558

Hello all - yes, I was here yesterday, but the grid was too short for comfort. Today's is.....longer.

4:36 am

Atalante

St Haz of Amontillado

4:37 am

FMitch

ROFL

4:37 am

Haz1558

A life? When there's babble around?

4:37 am

jwr

Atalante -- you must have a secret dictionary; I'll be wampumed if I can find it. Thanx anyway -- I'm a bit more than halfway in the grid but 9/10ths asleep.

4:37 am

Atalante

she has a point

4:37 am

FMitch

Well thats why I was worried Haz.

4:38 am

Atalante

lol I just clicked on the ? and followed the trail (but I did know it anyway from doing that before in babble!)

4:38 am

Haz1558

I took a quick look at the grid earlier, but had to take a phone call, so no time for greetings at that time.

4:39 am

Haz1558

Did you spend your birthday money, FMitch?

4:39 am

movieman

Hiya, everyone!!!!!

4:40 am

Haz1558

Hello MM.

4:40 am

FMitch

Frustratingly No!! and not for w4 of trying.

4:40 am

lynxxx

Hi MM

4:40 am

movieman

Talk about a contrast.....yesterday, only 56 words, today, 428......

4:40 am

Andree

i keep telling myself to get a life but when you don't see me here i am either busy with work or my computer is playing up, lol

4:40 am

Atalante

you tried to shop but didnt spend money? something wrong there ..

4:40 am

Haz1558

That's a pity. Money to burn and nothing took your fancy?

4:41 am

FMitch

Saw the digi camera I w4 and it's out of stock,etc etc. Will have another go after client meeting tomorrow.

4:41 am

Atalante

typical!

4:41 am

Haz1558

Well, at least you know what you want.

4:42 am

Haz1558

Daughter's boyfriend used to work in Jessops. His biggest frustration was customers who wouldn't read their camera instructions.

4:42 am

hydra

Morning Haz, Atalante, FMitch, Andree, movieman, lynxxx. Just finished the W's, but in case you think I'm doing well, I'm working backwards!

4:42 am

jwr

t'Atalante. Next time I'll track the word to its lair and drag it home so I'll have it next time. Nite.

4:42 am

FMitch

It's very pleasant having the cash sitting there not earmarked for anything work or bill related.

4:43 am

Andree

hi hydra

4:43 am

Haz1558

Hello hydra.

4:43 am

FMitch

Morning hydra

4:43 am

Haz1558

Good night, jwr. Addiction has to give way to sleep eventually, doesn't it?

4:44 am

Atalante

ah, there are (at least) se5/18

4:44 am

loredana

morning Hydra

4:44 am

Atalante

the wampum one and one that seems to mean the same as a very similarly spelled word (I think thats what you're referring to jwr)

4:45 am

lynxxx

update on my Bob Haz - he lives (really a cat in disguise - 9 lives) - it could be a stroke or meningitus or brain tumor or viral infection or or or ?????? he is getting better although back leg still gives way and still veering to the right - we are all getting used to a dog leaning on us/wall/chair as he tries to get around - I really don't know what to do

4:45 am

FMitch

Have you seen my beloved Madagascan hedgehog is back in the grid along with the exploding mountain!

4:45 am

Atalante

YAY for the hedgehog!

4:45 am

Haz1558

Indeed, there's the wee critter.

4:46 am

FMitch

lynxxx how old is Bob?

4:46 am

lynxxx

14 years....I know it will come to me - the hedgehog that is!

4:47 am

Haz1558

lynxxx - it sounds as though the vets don't really know what is going on, they tend not to rush in when they think it's a stroke because they can recover more quickly than humans. Probably best to wait for a while to see if there is any improvment.

4:47 am

FMitch

Gosh that is a good age.

4:48 am

Haz1558

This grid has sewing words in it.

4:49 am

lynxxx

Thats what we are doing Haz...although we'll get a blood test in a couple of days back w. our reg vet - just in case its viral and he could take antibiotics.

4:49 am

FMitch

There, there HAz. Deep breaths.

4:49 am

Andree

sorry about that haz, lol

4:49 am

Andree

hope bob gets better lynxxx

4:49 am

Hi Mom
Hey sprite and Scrabbler and TO and, and, everyone

7:40 am

Jacula

Scrabbs - I've got bad bews for you. The object of your affection is already married and has 2 kids. Here's his bio:"Giles Andreae is Britain's best-selling contemporary poet, through his personas "Purple Ronnie" and "Edward Monkton".

A graduate of Oxford University, Andreae completed his degree under difficult circumstances as he developed Hodgkin's lymphoma, a cancer of the lymph glands, and began an intensive course of chemotherapy and radiotherapy the day before his final exams began. He managed to sit some of his papers, and was awarded an upper second class degree.

Giles lives with his wife Victoria, a childrenâ€™s clothes designer for Mini-Boden, in Notting Hill, where he shares an office with writer Richard Curtis and radio and TV presenter Mariella Frostrup.

He also has a seaside retreat in Dorset. Giles and Victoria have three children: Flinn, and twins, Freya and Nat, who were born at the end of the last millennium."

Scrabbler

It's OK, I am happily single. I cannot imagine sharing my life with a man.

7:43 am

Mom

no, that would be a bad idea.

8:03 am

lideola

most doctors do

8:04 am

Mom

gotta scoot. Need to run some errands.

8:04 am

dcseain

i go to a large practice with on-site urgent care. I usually only need to wait at most 5 min to get through.

8:09 am

NonoNanette

lol lideola she must be some character

8:09 am

dcseain

that's the only tw i've foud

8:09 am

dcseain

found even

8:10 am

lideola

it just seems to be the best word to describe her... she's not malicious, but not very likeable- she a tw4/8

8:11 am

lideola

dc- you can get that word in 2 directions- so you can build off it a bit in the other direction

8:12 am

Haz1558

Good afternoon/morning all. Back to the grid/grindstone.

8:12 am

8:13 am

NonoNanette

hi Haz!

8:13 am

Anniebrook

Hi Haz!

8:13 am

72 Temple Owl

actually lid, i think you want to describe her with thw twi word. do you know what twa means?

8:13 am

dcseain

hi, haz :)

8:13 am

Haz1558

Hello there - frustration is having a 428 word grid and a husband who thinks he needs to use the computer.

8:14 am

dcseain

ciao, TO

8:14 am

lideola

yes, i know what the twa means- and its better than the twi

8:14 am

72 Temple Owl

i won't use words whose origin is meant as a put down on all women, tw 4 is such a word. lid i think you got that backwards.

8:14 am

72 Temple Owl

i won't use words whose origin is meant as a put down on all women, tw 4 is such a word. lid i think you got that backwards.

8:15 am

72 Temple Owl

LOL, poor haz! you can use mine, no way am i playing today.

8:15 am

lideola

your opinion, my opinion

8:15 am

lideola

i'm not putting down all women

8:15 am

72 Temple Owl

what ever...do you use the cu word, too?

8:15 am

Haz1558

Are you not feeling well, TO? I'm judging from some of the comments earlier, not from the fact that you're not playing.

8:16 am

72 Temple Owl

affirmative, haz....

8:16 am

lideola

when it fits, but not usually- they aren't in the same class as each other in my opinion

8:16 am

Haz1558

I hope you get better soon.

8:16 am

lideola

with each other i mean

8:17 am

72 Temple Owl

ah, my understanding is tw is a brtit versin of cu word. i work with sailors, but i draw the line at those words.

8:17 am

Angelsong

na

8:18 am

dcseain

My ma used to tend bar near Quantico, and i'm certain some jarheads learned vocab from her. :)

8:19 am

lideola

i've always just thought that cu was extremely derogatory and tw was just not nice

8:19 am

Anniebrook

they are both the same

8:20 am

Haz1558

And endlessly repeating hints of the words isn't particularly uplifting.....

8:20 am

saintfranny

lideola - the twa word describes my horrid neighbor as wel i agree - in some instances, some words just fit better than others. if it offends the sensibilities, well - that Person offends My sensibilities! :)

8:20 am

lideola

i know they have the same anatomical meaning, yes they are the same- but my understanding of the connotation is different

8:21 am

dcseain

woo! greyed the W. Two tiles down, 23 to go.

8:21 am

lideola

and are either regular parts of my vocabulary? no

8:22 am

saintfranny

wow - good job dc

8:23 am

EvaNadine

i think "woot" should be acceptable -- i say it ALL the time. :)

8:24 am

saintfranny

problem with starting the grid when it's new, and then coming back to it 8 hours later - i keep repeating words i already have!

8:24 am

chiley

I'm quite sure I've seen Bush do a war da5/14, but I guess it is not a compound word

8:24 am

dcseain

yes, i think so too, as well as woots. Of coures, it doesn't allow the plural of the Indian oven, ta7/32, either.

8:24 am

Marc Freeman

Good morning. What a grid for a Monday morning when we had such a small grid yesterday when I had time. Anyway, I need a clue for re7/60 the first one, please?

8:24 am

dcseain

yes, st. franny, you do, but i find i see things i missed, often 4s and 5s.

8:24 am

lideola

hmmm just tried warda5/14 and its not a word, thought for sure that would be

8:24 am

dcseain

morning, marc

8:24 am

Marc Freeman

ta7/32 type of Indian cooking

8:25 am

dcseain

yep, i complained that it lacked the plural, as the style is named for the oven.

8:25 am

dcseain

sorry, didn't mean to be so cross.

8:25 am

Marc Freeman

morning dcseain

8:25 am

EvaNadine

i dont have that one yet, but i dont have many of the biggies yet...

8:26 am

dcseain

maybe i shoul sleep soon. Guess i'll see how tired i get.

8:26 am

smithchick

Hello all. I usually lurk this time of the morning because I don't have much time, but I have to comment on this issue. When I was in Junior High School, I was very naive. I overheard one of the girls on my cheerleading squad say the tw word and I figured it was the same as the twi word. So I was sitting in my civics class and my teacher (a male) called me a twi. I promptly responded by calling him tw4/8. There was a hush over the whole class. He called me out in the hall and asked me if I knew what that word meant. When I said no, he told me to go home and ask my mother. Man was she appalled when I asked her what it meant and I told her I called Mr. Evans that. Ah...good times...

8:27 am

Anniebrook

LOL. ....hi chick!

8:27 am

dcseain

lol smithchick. The joys of youth. :)

toadandtoadette

8:33 am

dcseain

heh. :) YAy!

8:34 am

dcseain

hm. tea. tempting.

8:34 am

lideola

is it chilly in the DC area? because here in the philly area its still warm... warm enough that i have the a/c on, and they are forecasting near 90's for this week

8:35 am

lideola

good luck tnt

8:35 am

dcseain

yes, it's chilly here this AM, but high is to be near 90ÂºF

8:36 am

Merk

ra 8s and 9 clues please.

8:36 am

EvaNadine

daytime is warm -- suppose to be 80s this week...
but the morning are quite chilly...and so is my office!
hehe

8:36 am

dcseain

they build on the 6 before them.

8:37 am

dcseain

the 9 is plural of the 8.

8:37 am

Merk

ty, I'm working on that one now

8:37 am

dcseain

merk, the 6 is to make as a mouse-like creature.

8:37 am

lideola

yes, the mornings here are around 60... but the days are warm... so sounds about the same

8:38 am

dcseain

it was in the 50s in Springfield, VA when i left work.

8:40 am

EvaNadine

im just a cold person by nature -- the BF will crank the AC while im pulling a blanket over myself...heh

8:40 am

dcseain

i don't chill easily. Got home an threw open the windows, but will close them before i sleep. Saves on cooling.

8:41 am

EvaNadine

yes, lunchtime outside and the walk home from the metro are quite nice...
but AC has a tendancy to give me a chill that i cant overcome...
i have my feet basking in front of the space-heater in my cubicle as we speak. :)

8:42 am

dcseain

i should suggest that the the tiny woman who's always cold at work. Thank you, EvaN.

8:43 am

dcseain

short wii break, back soon

8:43 am

EvaNadine

i dont think we are really "allowed" to have space-heaters here, as they are considered a "fire hazard."
but ive had mine for the almost-7 years ive been here, and god help the person who tries to take it away from me!

8:43 am

EvaNadine

ooh, wii!

8:55 am

EvaNadine

i do love me some wii tennis

8:55 am

dcseain

i like the bowling too. I like the TIger Woods golf better than Wii's though, it's more realistic.

8:56 am

dcseain

Have tried Excite Truck, WarioWare, or Raymond's Raving Rabbits?

8:57 am

Merk

re 7,44 clue please

8:59 am

EvaNadine

my roommate has the wii, so we dont have many games for it...the wii boxing kicked my butt though!

8:59 am

dcseain

the boxing is a great cardio, and whole body, workout.

9:00 am

EvaNadine

ive only played it 2-3 times...too much cardio for me!

9:01 am

dcseain

I used it to get in shape for the hiking season, and plan to use it more through the winter.

9:02 am

Marc Freeman

re7/44, please got the other?

9:02 am

Angelsong

morning, Babble...first complete pass through the grid with no clues or help leaves 63 words to find.

9:02 am

EvaNadine

9:02 am

Marc Freeman

sorry didn

9:02 am

dcseain

morning, angel

9:02 am

Marc Freeman

dcseain

yw, jpc

9:09 am

smithchick

What is the matter with us? Are we a bunch of dummies?

9:09 am

Scarlet

Marc, the best way to clue it is the polite way of saying the bathro**

9:10 am

inge

I will now make another stab at the re's\

9:10 am

Scarlet

Nope, that wasn't it, either. Sorry!

9:10 am

inge

9:10 am

EvaNadine

Marc Freeman

Wow thanks but I did not get any of those clues I have the relaxation word the re4 and the re6/21 is one who is mentally ill, which I feel like right now and in between is the re7/44 and the re/8 which I figured would be the pl.

9:13 am

hootowl

ywywyw bowing

9:13 am

Scarlet

*muted applause* It's too early to get rowdy, hoot... :-=)

9:14 am

Marc Freeman

9:15 am

fannieg

9:15 am

dcseain

9:15 am

Scarlet

That eight is the bath***, Marc

9:15 am

fannieg

ertarder

9:15 am

EvaNadine

re8 = loo

9:15 am

Marc Freeman

9:16 am

hootowl

9:16 am

Marc Freeman

Wow am I thick got it. Thanks all

9:17 am

fannieg

anyone have that re 8?

9:17 am

Scarlet

dcseain

LOL :D

9:19 am

dcseain

phantom: skewer

9:19 am

Scarlet

Wow... I am going to make a strong pot... Bad! It is the COFFEE that will be strong. Into the penalty corner for hideous usage of our language. :9

9:20 am

fannieg

oh it is the re 7 i need. i have the re 8 ............and it was what you do to a fire but what is that?

9:21 am

9:22 am

fannieg

9:23 am

hootowl

fan - EVERYTHING is a word in babble!

9:24 am

EvaNadine

everything youve never heard of anyway...the things you EXPECT to see in the grid will turn out not to be real words. ;)

9:24 am

dcseain

so true, EvaN

9:24 am

Scarlet

I monkeyed some crazy W words earlier and sat in awe that they were actual words...LOL

9:26 am

NonoNanette

re8/65 please??

9:26 am

dcseain

middle wo6/30 blew my mind

9:27 am

Scarlet

Exactly! LOL, dc... I was shocked! The WA words were beauties to behold, too.

9:27 am

dcseain

9:27 am

Scarlet

:-)

9:30 am

fannieg

would love a clue for wo 6/30 please. i have not had luck with is.

9:32 am

EvaNadine

WO6 = to decline in quality.
"i went to the hospital, and Bob's condition is WO****ing."

9:33 am

fannieg

ty got the 5 and the 6.

9:33 am

Scarlet

The other ending is not any better, either, then the first five letters ending with I be* you will get it.

9:34 am

EvaNadine

thanks scarlet -- didnt have that one. was wondering why you both thought it was so odd...heh...but yours definitely is!

9:34 am

Scarlet

It's a gagger, Eva!

9:35 am

hootowl

You will never learn proper english from babble!

9:36 am

Scarlet

I'm getting that one, hootie... it confounds me every day, but I am learning, slowly, some really fun Scottish words...l

9:36 am

hootowl

Actually never quite sure it's proper anything sometimes

9:37 am

Jacula

Ahem... the wo6/30 that ends in the alien who wanted to 'phone home is a type of cloth.

9:37 am

hootowl

Scot words are a blast!

9:38 am

hootowl

Clothe should be spelled with a d!

9:38 am

Scarlet

It's the one above that that is so harsh to American English speakers, Jacla.

9:38 am

Scarlet

*Jacula*

9:38 am

Marc Freeman

Well I have 180 to go and I have to go to work, thanks for all the clues

9:38 am

Jacula

Actually, it's a Norfolk words, hoot.:)

9:38 am

"Bye, Marc.

Good afternoon all.. a little grid yesterday and now this!!

9:39 am

EvaNadine

under 200 to go...
as far as im concerned, im already done...any words i find from here on out are icing on the cake...hah

9:40 am

Jacula

Scarlet - I agree about the word before the cloth. Only children and the uneducated would use that form of the word.

9:40 am

Scarlet

Hi, caitlyn... notice I'm getting in here fast before you start stomping your feel!

9:40 am

Scarlet

*feet*

9:40 am

hootowl

double nuts!

9:40 am

caitlyn

LOL Scarlet!!

9:40 am

Scarlet

Right, Jacula! What's wrong, hootie?

9:41 am

fannieg

personally i feel whatever this dictionary is, no english teacher or educated person would use many of these words.

9:41 am

EvaNadine

really? you guys dont think that WO6 is normal?
ive certainly heard it used, and by well-educated people...
*shrug*

9:42 am

Scarlet

The one word I fell in love with was "nunatak", and we laughed about it for weeks...

9:42 am

harpjane

hi guys, is it fast or slow? or in between,

9:42 am

hootowl

wrote another word into chat! I really can't handle doing both!!!

9:42 am

Scarlet

Hi, harp... fast and fun!

9:43 am

caitlyn

Hoot there are so many words its hard to avoid doing that

9:43 am

harpjane

okie dokie, here I come....

9:43 am

Scarlet

Into the drink....

9:43 am

Jacula

ah, Scarlet, the bare mountaintop. Nice word! Sounds like a film Whoopi Goldberg might be in.:)

9:44 am

Scarlet

LOL... exactly... rampaging Sisters of Mercy careening though the villages...

9:44 am

Jacula

LOL, Scarlet. I see your imagination is as wild as my own.

9:45 am

Scarlet

And, Jacula, I believe that it is a special blessing! :-)

9:45 am

Jacula

Indeed it is.... mostly.:)

9:46 am

Scarlet

Coffee calls me for a few moments... will return anon.

9:46 am

Jacula

'Bye, Scarlet. I'm here on a teabreak.

9:55 am

9:56 am

pabtrek

9:57 am

caitlyn

Only another 8 to gothen pab

9:57 am

Jacula

Well, I've heard of cossetting your pets but having a cat in a cot on your keyboard is taking things a little too far. :D

9:58 am

pabtrek

well before that happens, i'll go to the list

9:58 am

dcseain

i have a rabbit with its own bedroom, too.

9:58 am

caitlyn

Congratulations Angelsong - and hello to everyone again.

10:06 am

caitlyn

Hi Haz

10:06 am

Scarlet

I was just being "creative" and monkeyed a silly to5/18 word... sounds Swedish or Scandanavian. Hi there, Haz!

10:06 am

Jacula

Okay. Teabreak's over. Time to make moussaka. BBL for my final 80. (Hi & 'bye for now, Haz.)

10:07 am

Scarlet

Until later, Jacula.

10:07 am

dcseain

mmmm... mousaka. Later, jacula

10:07 am

caitlyn

Bye Jac see you later

10:07 am

Haz1558

Bye Jacula - maybe see you later.

10:10 am

superflippy

Hello. Quick question: is the ca10 more like the ca7 preceding it or more like the ca4 following it?

10:10 am

Scarlet

The prior.

10:10 am

dcseain

based on the 6 preceding it.

10:11 am

superflippy

Thanks! I think I see where I was going wrong now.

10:12 am

superflippy

Hee. ca6/33 + tw4/8 may not be a real compound word, but it's a great insult.

10:12 am

caitlyn

Got to get chicken casserole in oven...bbl..bye

10:13 am

dcseain

oddly, it's both, if i recall from much earlier chat

10:17 am

HELP WITH THE At 9/54 PLEASE

Haz1558

See you, dc.

10:18 am

Scarlet

Until later, dc. Rest well.

10:18 am

Scarlet

How are you, Haz? Isn't this a lovely grid?

10:19 am

Haz1558

ar9/54 - puts a picnic pest on the the of the ar6/18. The one who puts into custody?

10:19 am

Haz1558

It's a great grid, Scarlet, I agree.

10:20 am

Scarlet

Thank you for that ar9, Haz.

10:20 am

Haz1558

You're welcome - as always!

10:20 am

maccafixx

looking for the at 9/54

10:21 am

fannieg

haz what is this picnic pest ar???????? i am very confused by that clue. must be dull today. i have ar 6/18

10:21 am

maccafixx

nevermind

10:21 am

Haz1558

at9/54 doesn't exist.

10:21 am

fannieg

just got the ar9. funny one

10:22 am

Haz1558

ar6/18 - meaning to stop or put into custody. The picnic pest is shorthand cluing for the insect that sounds like your mother or father's sister.

10:23 am

Frances

st

10:24 am

Haz1558

Hello Frances.

10:25 am

Frances

Hi Haz. I think I just nodded off onto the keyboard. Hence the 'st'.

10:25 am

Haz1558

Ah, I wondered if it was code of some sort.

10:25 am

Scarlet

Good morning, Frances.

10:26 am

Frances

No just shock at seeing 428 words.

10:26 am

Frances

Hello Red

10:26 am

Scarlet

:-)

10:26 am

Haz1558

It's big, but the grid is fun, Frances.

10:27 am

Frances

I'll take your word for that Haz.

10:27 am

Haz1558

Frances, Frances, you should know me by now.....

10:28 am

Frances

.....exactly Haz. LOL.

10:28 am

Scarlet

LOL, Haz and Frances...

10:28 am

Haz1558

We're both smiling!

10:29 am

Scarlet

And, winking, too!

10:29 am

Frances

Grinning from ear to ear......or should that be gurning from ear to ear.

10:29 am

Haz1558

Oh no, don't pull faces, Frances. I promise you, you'll enjoy it.

10:30 am

Scarlet

I had the most diabolical thought the other day: what if a grid were to start all its words with the same two letters? Say, a 150-word grid... wouldn't that be the challenge of an age?

10:30 am

Takuma Sato

Woo Hoo! huge one today! How are you guys finding it?

10:31 am

Scarlet

HI, TS... fun!

10:31 am

EvaNadine

bite your tongue, scarlet!
id go nutty!

10:31 am

Takuma Sato

Lol, I'd say so, Scarlet

10:31 am

Haz1558

Hello Takuma. I'm just debating whether to shoot Scarlet or not.

10:31 am

Scarlet

But, but... Eva... don't you like me anymore! LOL, TS

10:31 am

Haz1558

It's a great grid, you'll enjoy it.

10:31 am

Frances

Now that is a thought Red.

10:31 am

Takuma Sato

I'd have to guess that is impossible, scarlet

10:31 am

EvaNadine

;)

10:32 am

Scarlet

Up against the stone wall, no blindfold, and one last cigarette, first, Haz!

10:32 am

Frances

By the way, forgive my bad manners. I forgot to say hello to everyone.

10:32 am

Takuma Sato

I played around with writing grid-generators a couple years ago, and I think there may not be a 150-word grid starting with just two tiles

10:32 am

Haz1558

Something like that. But with the no smoking policies these days you might have to forego the cigarette.

10:32 am

Haz1558

Just in case you pollute the atmosphere.

10:33 am

Takuma Sato

(there are those chocolate-candy cigarettes -- substitute those?)

10:33 am

Frances

But surely out in the open you can smoke.

10:33 am

Scarlet

Of course... that's the utmost consideration before my execution..

10:33 am

Haz1558

I suppose so. An open air execution would be of advantage to the tobacco addicted.

10:34 am

Frances

At the weekend I saw someone 'smoking' an electronic cigarette.....weird.

10:34 am

Takuma Sato

I've heard of those, Frances. poor sot replacing tobacco damage with EMF damage...

10:34 am

Scarlet

WHAT?

10:34 am

Haz1558

How did it work? Non-technical explanation preferred.

10:35 am

Scarlet

The EMFs have already had their way with us, TS

10:35 am

Takuma Sato

heh, but we don't often spend a lot of time with EMF generators inserted into our heads ;)

10:35 am

Takuma Sato

save earphones, I guess

10:36 am

Frances

Battery operated and I think has nicotine in it somewhere and vapour. As I said, weird.

10:36 am

Scarlet

That is too strange for me to weigh this morning...

10:37 am

Haz1558

It sounds like something you'd find advertised in the Sunday supplements. You know, the sort of things nobody needs nor wants but someone has invented it and thinks it should be sold.

10:37 am

Scarlet

That is right up there with pet rocks and plastic flowers...

10:37 am

Scarlet

Oh, yes, Haz!

10:37 am

Haz1558

And singing plastic fish.

10:38 am

Scarlet

Yes, the country-music twanging Bass on a Plaquard... I must have one.

10:38 am

Haz1558

You get them too, Scarlet? Nasal hair always seems to be a prime target.

10:38 am

Frances

Just looked it up on ebay.

10:38 am

Scarlet

And the ongoing challenge of dicing one's vegetables correctly...

10:39 am

Haz1558

And keeping things clean.

10:39 am

Frances

When you draw on th filter it feels just like a cigarette, and you inhale it just as you would with a conventional cigarette but when you exhale there is a little nictone/water vapour fume that is emitted which gives the feeling of real smoking but is not really smoke so it's perfectly legal.

It glows like a real cigarette at the end when you inhale but is not alight and it runs on a 4.7V lithium rechargeable battery.

12:15 pm

Haz1558

Hello to all!

12:15 pm

flosey

great one Haz - as usual

12:15 pm

Haz1558

You're welcome.

12:15 pm

flosey

never would have tried that

12:16 pm

Haz1558

I've got my clothes out on the line getting a pre-sunset whizz around in the wind.

12:16 pm

Scarlet

Thank you, Haz! Another excellent clue, as per usual.

12:16 pm

caitlyn

Hi Ata and bye..time to cook..hope you feel better soon flosey ..bye

12:16 pm

Scarlet

Later, caitlyn. Thank you for the clues!

12:16 pm

flosey

thanks cait, bye for now

12:17 pm

Haz1558

Glad to help, Scarlet. See you later, caitlyn.

12:17 pm

Scarlet

Hello, Atalante. Was the pre-sunset beautiful?

12:17 pm

flosey

love it when we can put the clothes on the line - they smell so much fresher than out of the dryer

12:18 pm

Atalante

it was really beautiful. very peaceful and golden

12:18 pm

Haz1558

And it's so much cheaper, flosey, our electricity costs are very high.

12:18 pm

flosey

that too

12:18 pm

Scarlet

We are not permitted to put up a clothesline here, but I am using the sun for "rack-drying" as much as possible.

12:19 pm

Scarlet

Ata... that is such a gift... to be able to "see" what others are too enmeshed to observe.

12:19 pm

Haz1558

Not permitted to put up a clothesline? How sad! I love hanging washing out.

12:19 pm

Scarlet

I know! That fragrance is unlike any other...

12:19 pm

flosey

we're lucky to be out of sight of our neighbours so no problem there - but we do have to lock up when not home

12:20 pm

Atalante

what would happen if you did put up a clothes line in rebelliuos defiance?

12:20 pm

flosey

usually pretty safe here but every once in a while we've had unwelcome 'visitors'

12:20 pm

Haz1558

Would the wiccans not join in the protest?

12:21 pm

Haz1558

Laundry wars. I see the headlines.

12:21 pm

flosey

my daughter had her clothesline stripped one night - just married so all new bedding, etc

12:21 pm

Atalante

Fight for your Right to Hang!

12:21 pm

toadandtoadette

okay gonna take a break. back later

12:22 pm

flosey

later toad

12:22 pm

Haz1558

So as well as remembering never to go to bed angry, you have to remember to bring in all your underpinnings.

12:22 pm

Scarlet

The doctor who owns this property has been so good to us... she had central air conditioning installed as soon as she knew that beloved has Parkinson's... I just think she wants the neighborhood to be as pristine a "nature reserve" as possible. Haz, you are more right than you know. We have three wicca lliving nearby! LOL

12:23 pm

flosey

but one would think the conservation of hydro might be an issue

12:23 pm

Haz1558

I do miss the sight of white nappies on washing lines. Everyone's into disposables now, but there's something terribly satisfying about their whiteness.

12:23 pm

Scarlet

Flosey, that is so logical...

12:23 pm

Scarlet

And the fragrance of fresh diapers... I loved doing that wash when the children were babies...

12:24 pm

flosey

how well I remember Haz - middle of winter, bringing in huge white frozen nappies! but they smelled so good

12:24 pm

Atalante

oh dear, i have a vision of people worldwide going round sniffing nappies now

12:24 pm

Haz1558

Isn't it funny the things you treasure. I remember the frozen nappies as well. I stubbornlyrefused to give in to disposables so remember the whole thing.

12:25 pm

Tinascratch2

Howdy, all. Huge one today! Stuck on the ak's - clue pls?

12:25 pm

Haz1558

Clean nappies, Atalante, clean ones.

12:25 pm

flosey

they weren't around for me but my grandson had them

12:25 pm

Haz1558

ak5/18 - a plus a reworking of the eager mustard word.

12:26 pm

Haz1558

Then plural for ak6/30

12:26 pm

Atalante

thank goodness for that!

12:26 pm

Haz1558

Disposables may be convenient, but who'll be reminiscing about them in 20 year's time?

12:27 pm

Tinascratch2

Eager mustard? Hmmm. Gonna turn it over in my brain for while - thx Haz

12:27 pm

Scarlet

The landfills, Haz...the breakdown time for the plastics is inestimal.

12:27 pm

Haz1558

It's a word beginning with k, associated with mustard (at least in Britain) and meaning eager.

12:28 pm

Haz1558

That's what I fear, Scarlet. They're going to be around for ever.

12:29 pm

Scarlet

Finally, there are some entire cities which have banned the use of plastic grocery bags; eliminated the use of styrofoam cups and containers; as well as having eliminated bottled water entirely!

12:29 pm

flosey

agree Haz and Scarlet re landfill - but not for mother-in-law to interfere

12:29 pm

Tinascratch2

Okay, got it - the mustard allusion went by me - must be a British thang :)

12:30 pm

Haz1558

Some stores here are beginning to penalise people for using plastic bags, and plastic bags are banned in the south of Ireland.

12:30 pm

mcr

It's an expression : **** as mustard

12:30 pm

Scarlet

Mothers-in-law must abide by the rule of silence.

12:30 pm

Haz1558

Sorry, Tina - hard to know when things will translate!

12:30 pm

flosey

yes, especially since we have such a great relationship - and have only the one grandchild

12:31 pm

Erda

Plastic bags are recycleable; I've been recycling mine for years

12:31 pm

Scarlet

We will not regret not having intruded with our opinions, flosey... but I have to admit, sometimes I do stew a bit.

12:31 pm

garyandjulie

silence? gosh you never met mine haz lol

12:32 pm

garyandjulie

no I have to admit mines not to bad. I have at least escaped having to go shopping with her. I am a girl who hates to shop

12:32 pm

flosey

oh yes, do that - lol g&j - I had a real dilly

12:32 pm

Scarlet

Likewise, g&j.

12:32 pm

Tinascratch2

That's okay - I'm actually very pleased to know it.

12:32 pm

Atalante

mine is dead. very easy to deal with. but she was very lovely when alive

12:32 pm

flosey

she never once smiled at me!

12:32 pm

Scarlet

How fortunate for you, Atalante.

12:32 pm

Haz1558

I was fortunate in my mother-in-law. She adored her son and reckoned he had to have good taste. I'm so glad!

12:33 pm

EvaNadine

afternoon babblers!
i dont yet have a MIL, but my BFs mom seems quite nice. :)

12:33 pm

flosey

how lucky you are Haz

12:33 pm

Haz1558

Good afternoon, EvaNadine.

12:33 pm

garyandjulie

Gary thinks I am very much like his mother in the way we think alike. Not sure if that is a compliment or not lol

12:34 pm

flosey

either way julie, as long as it works

12:34 pm

Scarlet

Hello, EvaN.

12:34 pm

Haz1558

It was quite funny - she maintained her partiality all through our married life until she died.

12:34 pm

ren8

Hi all

12:34 pm

flosey

I must get out to the kitchen - a bit of cleaning up to do, hubby made dinner last night

12:34 pm

Scarlet

Until later, flosey.

12:34 pm

garyandjulie

that was sweet of him flosey

12:35 pm

Haz1558

She was often ill and I used to take flowers to her (arranged) when she was in hospital. Apparently, one of the last times she landed in hospital, she looked around at the flowers and said 'These will pale into insignificance when Hazel brings her flowers'. What a woman!

12:35 pm

flosey

he is a real sweetie julie - but I do believe he used every pot in the house

12:35 pm

Atalante

hmmm can I get to 100 left before getting the list?

12:35 pm

Atalante

awwwww haz

12:35 pm

flosey

good luck Ata - you can do it

12:35 pm

Scarlet

I went to the list at 180, Ata.

12:36 pm

Haz1558

Just to sicken your happiness, Atalante, Angelsong got to 63 left on her first sweep.

12:36 pm

garyandjulie

course you can! I am at 267 to go and seeing some really obvious ones I missed earlier

12:36 pm

Haz1558

But get the list. Life's too short.

12:36 pm

EvaNadine

*giggles to self*
im so used to thinking of you as Haz, that i was like "who is Hazel??"

12:36 pm

Atalante

she would!

12:36 pm

Atalante

very sensible, scarlet. I'm just being stubborn

12:36 pm

Haz1558

'Tis I, Eva'

12:37 pm

flosey

I like that name Hazel, we don't hear it anymore

12:37 pm

Scarlet

What a lovely memory, Haz.

12:37 pm

flosey

like Florence - we've old names?

12:37 pm

Haz1558

It's not that common over here, but not so peculiar as to be strange....

12:37 pm

garyandjulie

I saw a check out girl with that name in hobbycraft on Saturday

12:38 pm

garyandjulie

my nan was a florence, used to get annoyed if she got called flo

12:38 pm

Scarlet

My daughter's middle name is Gabriella... I named her for the archangel.

12:38 pm

garyandjulie

it's pretty scarlet

12:38 pm

Haz1558

I like the old-fashioned feminine names - they're definitely making a comeback.

12:38 pm

EvaNadine

My one grandmother was named Elizabeth, but went by Hildy. (not sure where that came from!)
My other grandmother was named Bessie. (but not short for Elizabeth!)
My mom's name is Yvonne, but everyone calls her Liz. (Thank my dad for that one!)

12:38 pm

Scarlet

And, of course, her friends call her Gabi.

12:39 pm

flosey

think I've had just about every way one can call it - grew up with Lolo!! because they couldn't pronounce florence

12:39 pm

Scarlet

Thank you, g&j.

12:39 pm

garyandjulie

my daughter is called Leanne, she either goes by Lily, la la or tink!

12:39 pm

Haz1558

I was just going to say, hopefully she (Gabriella) gets the full name, but it would seem not.

12:39 pm

Scarlet

My little sisters could not say Bobbie, so they called me Baba... now my grandchildren call me that. I love it!

12:40 pm

flosey

I love Leanne

12:40 pm

flosey

anyway, this isn't cleaning up my kitchen!! bye for now

12:40 pm

Tinascratch2

That's so cute Scarlet!

12:40 pm

Tinascratch2

My son can't say Grammie Kathy so he calls my MIL gran taffy

12:40 pm

Haz1558

Bye flosey. Nice to see you again.

12:40 pm

Scarlet

:-) Thank you, Tina.

12:40 pm

EvaNadine

i think my parents merely tolerate me calling myself Sam -- but Samantha is such a mouthful!

12:41 pm

garyandjulie

by flosey take care

12:41 pm

Scarlet

Until another time, flosey.

12:41 pm

Tinascratch2

I like old-fashioned names too - my daughter's name is Annabella Jewel

12:41 pm

garyandjulie

I really regretted giving my son 3 names because it's such a mouthful to say all 3 and a surname when he is naughty

12:41 pm

Tinascratch2

bye flosey

12:41 pm

Haz1558

You mean, you're not EvaNadine? We'll have to get used to our real identities!

12:42 pm

Scarlet

Tina, that is a lovely name...

12:42 pm

Tinascratch2

i have instructed my kitchen to clean itself. I'll give it another 15 minutes to do so. :)

12:42 pm

EvaNadine

heh -- Eva Nadine is the name i decided back when i was like 12 that i would name my first daughter...
all these years later, i still love the name Eva! (but have decided to change the Nadine part...)

12:42 pm

Scarlet

*takes off cape and emerald tiara* Okay, Haz, there you go, popping my balloon!

12:42 pm

Haz1558

That sounds like a product that could sell. A self-cleaning kitchen.

12:42 pm

Tinascratch2

Thank you scarlet - we agonized over her name. Mark wanted to name her Annabelle Pepper but I just couldn't deal with it being so cartoon-y

12:43 pm

Haz1558

Can I borrow your emerald tiara, Scarlet? It's my birthstone.

12:43 pm

Scarlet

I heard this morning of a couple who has just welcomed their first child. Being Chicago Cubs' fans, they named the little boy, Wrigley! I laughed so hard.

12:44 pm

garyandjulie

another taurus haz?

12:44 pm

saphyre

hi everyone

12:44 pm

garyandjulie

hi saphyre

12:44 pm

Haz1558

Yes, gandj, a May baby.

12:44 pm

Scarlet

But certainly, Haz. I am stuck with the blue sapphire... I'd much prefer the emerald birthstone.

12:44 pm

EvaNadine

I've pretty much decided that my first-born will either be Eva Marcelle (my dads middle name is Marcel) or Evan Wylie (Wylie is my moms maiden name. just one though, not both.
and the other name i really love is Genevieve, which i later found out was my moms real moms name! (i never met her, since she passed when my mom was about 16)

12:44 pm

Haz1558

Hello saphyre!

12:44 pm

garyandjulie

LOL Scarlet my mate no word of a lie has the last name Murphy and called her soon Paddy.

12:44 pm

Haz1558

Oh, that is kind. I shall wear it babbling, always.

12:44 pm

Scarlet

Hi, saphyre.

12:45 pm

EvaNadine

Wrigley Fields, if i read it correctly, Scarlet.
;)

12:45 pm

Scarlet

You are a blonde, Haz... your coloring will carry it much more richly than mine. *Carefully hands over emerald tiara*

12:45 pm

Scarlet

That's right, Eva. The family's last name is Fields.~!

12:46 pm

Haz1558

Thank you so much!

12:46 pm

garyandjulie

I'm May the first, may day

12:46 pm

Haz1558

Snap, gandj.

12:46 pm

Scarlet

OH, g&j... too darned funny!

12:46 pm

EvaNadine

My best friends married last name is Hitchings, and they joked that they would name their kids Truck and Trailer...hah

12:46 pm

Haz1558

1558 refers to my date of birth, not the year, you understand.

12:46 pm

garyandjulie

Wow what are the odds, my BIL same date to

12:47 pm

Atalante

12:48 pm

EvaNadine

12:48 pm

Tinascratch2

Incidentally, I do know a man named Truck Van Carr. For real. Sigh, he's a Texan of course

12:49 pm

EvaNadine

*gasps*

12:49 pm

Tinascratch2

Yes, your mother's name is very beautiful and formal-sounding.

12:49 pm

EvaNadine

i thought it was odd that i knew a girl named Jasmine Jett and a guy named James James (cruelty of adoption, that last one)

12:49 pm

Haz1558

(Do we send to the penalty box when it's a capitalized word?)

12:50 pm

Atalante

think we should. standards and all that

12:50 pm

Scarlet

Seriously: the most 'wait a minute' name I ever heard is Gajda Heinie. True.

12:50 pm

Tinascratch2

I also know a girl named Caprice Capri, not as bad as James James

12:50 pm

EvaNadine

*LMAO*
thats fab, scarlet!

12:50 pm

Haz1558

I thought so, just didn't want to be too harsh without considering other points of view.

12:51 pm

Tinascratch2

Heehee - Gajda Heinie. There is a woman on my mama's board whose grandmother's name was (drum roll):

12:51 pm

Atalante

I know someone called Kriss Cross

12:51 pm

Scarlet

:-)

12:51 pm

garyandjulie

what do the parents think of lol

12:51 pm

EvaNadine

i remember reading once that the singer of some band used to register in hotels under the name Shiek Yiboudi.
*snickers*

12:51 pm

Tinascratch2

Lovely Pink Johnson

12:51 pm

Scarlet

*snort*

12:51 pm

12:53 pm

Cherrypop

Eva thanks for my laugh of the day!

12:53 pm

Tinascratch2

Ooh, eva - I would be unable to have a straight face to speak to the man in your building; I did know a family with the surname head who named a son Peter - guess people just don't think

12:53 pm

Scarlet

Then have at it, Harmony!

12:54 pm

pabtrek

12:54 pm

Harmony

Hey there, skheiny! welcome ! (smile)

12:56 pm

It's good to know that some states have sense. I reckon some people have to be saved from themselves.

12:57 pm

Scarlet

We do it all the time, skh... and look at us: fine, shining examples of multitaskers!

12:57 pm

Haz1558

1:29 pm

Scarlet

Are you traveling soon, Haz?

1:29 pm

Haz1558

I was cross because I had seen it in the window of the shop, it had my name on it, but the people in the shop wouldn't sell it to me. It had pictures of an elephant on it.

1:29 pm

Haz1558

This was last year, Scarlet, when we were on holiday in Kenya.

1:30 pm

Haz1558

ar6/18 - ar plus the counterpart to rave (as in angry tirade)

1:30 pm

FMitch

Scarlet the only travelling Haz will be doing will be accompanied by men in white coats is we pressure her too much with talk of stitchery :)

3:24 pm

Scarlet

Aloy, add some bait to the sore mouth

3:24 pm

granadan

pluralise for the 11

3:25 pm

Aloyisius

3:25 pm

Aloyisius

oh, hi there Scarlet! good to see you again.. (-:

3:26 pm

Scarlet

:-) Done with hubby and the shopping trip, Aloy? You have so much to do!

3:26 pm

Aloyisius

never,never would have found that without a clue..

3:26 pm

Aloyisius

shopped out, Scarlet.. sore feet.. glad to be back babbling.. I really don't enjoy shopping, much to the dismay of my daughter.. (-:

3:26 pm

Scarlet

I still have four eight-letter words to find, and my monkeys have been wonderful today, to say nothing of great clues along the way!

3:27 pm

Scarlet

We are of a kind, Aloy... I have never enjoyed it and probably never will... even food shopping, and I love to cook.

3:28 pm

frogface

monkeys are definitely working overtime on this grid, double time for the monkeys or they come out on strike.

3:28 pm

Aloyisius

ah well, Scarlet.. we need some personal assistants.. (lol).

3:28 pm

Scarlet

*Offers huge hands of bananas to frogface's monkey team!"

3:29 pm

Aloyisius

... so we can spend more time on important things like babbling!

3:29 pm

Scarlet

I know, Aloy... the non-joy of stores... :9

3:29 pm

frogface

they thank you, but don't expect much in return, my monkeys are pretty useless/

3:29 pm

Scarlet

Absolutely right, Aloy. That

3:29 pm

Scarlet

is such great logic!

3:30 pm

Aloyisius

exactamundo!

3:30 pm

3:48 pm

Scarlet

Add the wiggly bait to your hearing organ, ren

3:49 pm

Aloyisius

3:49 pm

Aloyisius

do you put gravy on those mashed potatoes, scarlet?

3:49 pm

Scarlet

Great minds, Aloy... LOL

3:50 pm

Scarlet

No, Aloy... they are cheddar/garlic mashies that are now in the oven with a Panko crumb/parmesan crust...

3:50 pm

ren8

what on earth is one of those??

3:50 pm

Scarlet

Whatever it is, I don't want it, ren!

3:50 pm

3:51 pm

Aloyisius

5:57 pm

hurshy

there's 350... so let's see, that would mean 15 more words to 85%... that's not so bad

8:10 pm

Jacula

Gramma - The most common typing error when I was a supervisor, many moons ago, in a typing pool, was beginning a letter 'Dead Sir'.

8:10 pm

grammaterri1

that dingbat pres of Iran was here today, did he make a stink lol

8:10 pm

herinfernallady

YEs and that Ra is to do with levels but my brain thinks of it as most stinky

8:10 pm

grammaterri1

oh lol that's funny Jacs

8:11 pm

Jacula

Another, was ruder, gramma - the typists often missed the 'o' out of 'account'.:(

8:11 pm

grammaterri1

even with spell check, I love to read the spelling errors like that

8:11 pm

grammaterri1

oh my lol

8:12 pm

herinfernallady

I like that one Jac. Its amazing with Freudian slips. I have a habit of miss spelling cook often

8:12 pm

8:16 pm

'Fagging' in case any of our USA friends are confused bythe public school term, meant a younger boy being an older ones 'slave'/'valet'/servant. If he misbehaved, or didn't do what was expected of him, he would be backed right up to the open fire in the dorm with hi s bare buttocks, perhaps whipped before to the flames.
