scroll down in chat to see what MrP said, she won't be available tonight

2:52 am

sprite

and on a totally other note: I love your granddad's icon, dc! He looks like a gentle yet powerful man.

2:52 am

dcseain

hm.

2:52 am

dcseain

ty

2:53 am

dcseain

his mother alway said "We raised 8 lovely children. Don't know where we went wrong with Dave..."

2:53 am

sprite

what an ugly thing to say about a child!

2:54 am

dcseain

you've never met Dave. He's very good at what he does for a living, not the most personable man i've ever met. I adore the woman he married in April, though.

2:55 am

sprite

well, if he survived that with the ability to have such a gentle look in his eyes, I rest my case... he has a lot of power inside.

2:55 am

sprite

I am glad he found a loving wife!

2:55 am

dcseain

yes, he does, and he and i have a fair amount in common. And the neatest people come by his shop.

2:56 am

dcseain

yes, Bea is his 3rd wife. At this point in his life, he's out lived 2 wives and 2 of his 3 kids. That's a lot to bear.

2:56 am

sprite

I think there are worse people to have a lot in common with ;)

2:56 am

sprite

that is really tough :(

2:56 am

dcseain

oh, indeed so!

2:58 am

dcseain

my sister, her sons and i all went up for his wedding, so it's not like we totally dislike him or never go to see him. :)

2:58 am

dcseain

started in on the grid yet?

3:00 am

sprite

just wrote a message to mrP on Skype, now diving in :)

3:00 am

sprite

whoops, small one today :(

3:01 am

dcseain

yes, some people finished in~30

3:01 am

sprite

I bet, this is really small

3:01 am

dcseain

took me 2 hrs, with interruptions for chatting here and elsewhere

3:02 am

sprite

well, not using the list will slow things down too :D

3:03 am

dcseain

yes, i only dug list out for my lost 5 tonight.

3:04 am

sprite

hey, and K-less :D :D

3:06 am

dcseain

lots of 8 EX words, including an 8, and an obscure TO7 in store for you though.

3:07 am

dcseain

8 EX words... that should read

3:07 am

sprite

lol, I already have the to7, it has been in babble before. Thanks for the ex8, all biggies accounted for

3:10 am

sprite

must be a kind of record... fireworks

3:11 am

dcseain

congrats!

3:12 am

dcseain

sprite, do you know black-eyed susans? Like a daisy, but yellow petals and black centre?

3:12 am

sprite

yes I do

3:13 am

sprite

lol @ the video today... nice pick, Fran!

3:13 am

dcseain

saw the flowers in ur flckr, and they brought the susans to mind. They're a common wildflower here.

3:14 am

sprite

I think there are some in my garden somewhere... not wildflowers here, but they are easily sowable.

3:14 am

sprite

quite another size than sunflowers though :D

3:15 am

dcseain

indeed so. someday, i want to see the plains, around Kansas, where sunflowers grow wild.

3:16 am

sprite

I have been in France, where they have whole fields with them. I loved that so much :)

3:16 am

dcseain

the tiny slice of the plains i've seen was starkly beautiful - flat with tall grass, and a rare tree, all the branches pointing east from the westerly winds.

3:17 am

dcseain

and amazing big sky all overhead. almost like being on the sea, bit it was flowing grass.

3:18 am

sprite

wow... sounds so wonderful... and you are a bit of a po4 :)

3:19 am

dcseain

hm. rereading that, it does have potential. i'll copy it off to my writing journal for future development.

3:20 am

sprite

good!

3:21 am

dcseain

kids off to school smoothly today?

3:22 am

sprite

no, they are having a holiday this week, autumn holiday

3:23 am

sprite

they have been staying with a friend of mine for 3 days, and tomorrow they will go out camping and canoeing with their dad... today they are mine :)

3:23 am

dcseain

interesting. we have no fall break like that, though there is one in the Spring.

3:23 am

dcseain

sounds like a fun week :)

3:25 am

sprite

I recently talked with mrP about that... dutch schedules are quite different from US and Aus. Our kids have 6 weeks in summer, usually 2 or 1,5 with Christmas, and several short breaks in between.

3:26 am

sprite

well, babble and sudoku done already... guess it is time for me to go plan the rest of the day with the kids :D

3:26 am

dcseain

until i was 10, school started in July, 9 weeks in, 3 weeks out, 9weeks in, 4 weeks out, 9 weeks in, 3 weeks out, 9 weeks in, 3 weeks out.

3:26 am

dcseain

enjoy, and i hope your day is wonderful!

3:26 am

sprite

I feel a little bit bad about leaving you all alone here :(

3:27 am

dcseain

eh, i'm thinking on going to sleep soon.

3:27 am

sprite

hey you lurkers, can someone come out of the closet and chat with dc on his lonely and boring working night?

3:27 am

dcseain

oh, and i need to do laundry, should go gather towels and do that.

3:27 am

sprite

ah, are you home! That is good :)

3:27 am

dcseain

i'm off from work today, sprite

3:28 am

dcseain

i'm here because i choose to be. :) now go have fun with the kids :D

3:28 am

sprite

lovely, dc! In that case, I will not feel bad and I will leave the lurkers in peace ;)
You too, have a great day / night / whatever.

3:28 am

dcseain

ciao!

3:38 am

lynxxx

bye Sprite!

3:44 am

dcseain

hi, lynxxx

3:45 am

lynxxx

Hi DC - my farewell to Sprite was a tad late, didn't read the time correctly

3:46 am

dcseain

short puzzle, been pretty quiet here tonight

3:47 am

dcseain

i just spent 5 min observing my towels in the washer through the glass. were i a chaos theorist, it would be even more fascinating, i'm sure.

3:47 am

lynxxx

wouldn't have minded a long one myself, can't be bothered starting a new book

3:47 am

lynxxx

lol DC

3:49 am

dcseain

the items move differently in the washer than the dryer i noticed, at least in part due to the change in rotational direction of the washer.

3:49 am

dcseain

well, and the adding, rather than removing, water, too. :)

3:50 am

dcseain

to7 and ex8, fyi

3:52 am

lynxxx

front loading machine then. what is the point score on the to7 pls. I think I found the 8 b4 you did - I just finished working for a book publisher who distributed worldwide so was easy for me to see

3:53 am

dcseain

to7/32

3:53 am

lynxxx

TY

3:54 am

dcseain

since working for Customs, a whole new world of vocabulary has come to the fore for me.

3:57 am

Marmar

Hi everyone. I'm a struggling Babbler, fairly new but totally addicted...and not very good I'm afraid. +#

3:59 am

FMitch

Morning all and welcome Marmar :)

4:00 am

lynxxx

DC ..Prior to the book publisher, I worked for a fashion house who imported fabric and later finished goods - mostly from Asia - so have had a fair knowledge of freight & customs. LOL in fact I have just remembered - that clothing company was actually charged with either smuggling or piracy (can't remember which one) by our Customs people. They were not alone, it was quite the done thing at the time!

4:00 am

dcseain

welcome, marmar, morning, fmitch

4:00 am

lynxxx

Hello Marmar - welcome to the madhouse

4:00 am

dcseain

hee, interesting, lynxxx :D

4:00 am

lynxxx

Morning FM - how are we this lovely day

4:01 am

FMitch

Hi ds and lynxxx, very short and fast grid today I see. LOL lynxx, is that the royal We?

4:03 am

dcseain

so, should i work this toward a po*m or a short story, if poem line 1 goes away:

the tiny slice of the plains i've seen was
starkly beautiful
flat with tall grass,
and a rare tree, all
the branches pointing east
from the westerly winds.
and amazing big sky all overhead.
almost like being on the sea, but
it was flowing grass.

4:03 am

lynxxx

Well I'm alone and feeling very well. And you Queenie?

4:04 am

FMitch

Oh that is evoative ds, poem definitely and pretty much done.

4:05 am

lynxxx

Nice DC - leave that as is and then continue as a short story - ?

4:05 am

FMitch

Good thanks lynxxx, coldish day but bright and sunny, Godmother taking me out to lunch so zooming arund getting work things done first.

4:06 am

Marmar

dc, I had just thought to myself how poetic that line was in your previous post! Lovely!

4:06 am

lynxxx

well Babble is spot on today if you have other things to do - you must have placed an order

4:07 am

dcseain

ty, lynxxx and marmar, i was leaning that way. I shall entitle it Sunflower, and likely add a tad bit before finalizing.

4:07 am

FMitch

Good selectio nof words in the grid but we must keep Haz away from the po6/21 or there will be trouble *grin*

4:10 am

lynxxx

FM you do like to get your tup pe5.14 in when she's not here - no wonder you get into trouble!

4:13 am

FMitch

She will get me back later no worries :)

4:13 am

dcseain

mmmm... soon as the cat gets off me, gonna have a glass of po4/5 as a nightcap.

4:14 am

lynxxx

cat, dryer, drinking, mmm hope DC doesn't get too bored

4:14 am

dcseain

LOL

4:15 am

FMitch

po4, po6, po6 all alcoholic beverages!

4:16 am

lynxxx

"the ro4.4 of all evil"

dcseain

4:17 am

FMitch

lol

4:19 am

dcseain

huh no po4 onhand, only sherries, so Captaz AndrÃ©s instead, anyone else like some? I've some Bristol Cream also, if you'd rather.

4:20 am

lynxxx

4:20 am

FMitch

Somehow not quite right at 10.20am but thanks anyway dc.

4:21 am

dcseain

4:35 am

Lizsark

hi all just got a handful of minutes to spare - popping in briefly

4:35 am

FranMag

cool!

4:35 am

FranMag

hi liz!

4:36 am

dcseain

wb, liz, busy day, eh?

4:36 am

lynxxx

good morning Liz

4:36 am

Lizsark

one of those mad dashing about days DC

4:36 am

Lizsark

hi Fran, Lynxxx

4:38 am

FranMag

who is in your icon liz?

4:38 am

dcseain

there, posted poem to my writing blog, linged it from my regular blog, and pimped Babble to boot.

4:39 am

Lizsark

he was my Great Grandfather Fran 1882 - 1954

4:40 am

FranMag

nice picture...i wish i had digitized pictures of my older relatives.

4:41 am

Lizsark

I have lots of mine Fran from doing my family tree over the last twelve years or so

4:41 am

FranMag

woo hoo! found the 8 by myself

4:41 am

dcseain

i met 8 of my 12 great-grandparents, Two died before i was born, two were estranged. Two divorces account for the number. I meaningfully knew 5 of them.

4:41 am

dcseain

yay fran!

4:41 am

lynxxx

a veerry nice picture Liz - did you have it restored in any way?

4:41 am

Lizsark

No Lynxx that one was just scanned as it was

4:42 am

FranMag

that's amazing dc, i only knew my two grandmothers and only one grandfather.

4:42 am

Lizsark

Wow DC I didn't know any of my greats

4:43 am

lynxxx

same here - no greats and only 3 grands. Your family is long-lived DC? your dad looks quite young too

4:44 am

dcseain

yes, i was noting the dates you mentiond and diffed with your age. Generations in my case ar 20-25 yrs, your family's appear longer.

4:44 am

dcseain

that's my dad's dad at about age 77 in the picture today. He looks about the same today; he's now 83

4:44 am

Lizsark

My family seem to either be very long lived or die young with no in-betweens. Two of my Grandparents lived well into their 90's and the other two died in their 50's

4:45 am

dcseain

and yes, mostly long-lived 85-100 or so is normal. Though others, like my father and his mother died in their 40s.

4:45 am

lynxxx

good genes then DC - lucky you.

4:46 am

babbleKIDfromUSA

how many countrues go onto babble

4:47 am

FranMag

quite a few kid, you can check the flags in who's online

4:47 am

Lizsark

Anywhere you can get internet access I would guess?

4:47 am

lynxxx

Hi Kid. I think its either 25 or 40 from something I read....but you could start listing the flags that you see beside the pictures

4:48 am

dcseain

Bermuda is the smallest country i've seen represented, i believe.

4:49 am

Lizsark

I bet I am from the smallest island though LOL

4:50 am

dcseain

yes, i believe so, liz :)

4:50 am

FranMag

lol, with 600 people, you're probably right liz

4:50 am

FranMag

what is the land area liz?

4:50 am

Lizsark

I always knew I was unique ROFL

4:51 am

Lizsark

the island is 3 miles north to south and 1Â½ miles east to west

4:52 am

FranMag

yup, that's small. :-)

4:52 am

Lizsark

If you nip over to my blog there is an aerial shot right at the top of the page http://elmontsonline.blogspot.com/

4:52 am

Marmar

Lizsark

4:53 am

4:53 am

dcseain

4:53 am

lynxxx

We have a player ToadandToadette who, though American, is currently living in Germany. Anumber of other babblers seem to have strong German ties

4:54 am

FranMag

marmar is what they call flower garlands made in Chuuk, one of the Micronesian islands, that's why i asked.

4:54 am

Lizsark

Its 545 hectares officially DC but I dont know what that converts to in square miles

4:54 am

Hurra

I haven't seen anyone from Norway either

4:54 am

Lizsark

hello to you in Norway then Hurra :)

4:55 am

FranMag

hi Hurra!

4:55 am

Lizsark

Aww is that a Moomin?

4:55 am

dcseain

hi, hurra.

4:55 am

lynxxx

Hi Hurra...lots of flags for Kid to count!

4:55 am

Marmar

Hi Fran,

4:55 am

FranMag

liz, if sark island has their own flag you should ask dr_g to load it up for you.

4:55 am

Hurra

hi to all of you - yes, it's a moomin

4:55 am

dcseain

yes, someone is logged in from France right now, also i noticed.

4:56 am

Marmar

Marmar is a childhood nickname (real name Mary) given to me by my five brothers!

4:56 am

FranMag

cute marmar. :-)

4:56 am

Marmar

Maybe my nickname will come up in a grid! Now I know what it means...

4:57 am

dcseain

heh, anyone call you that in real life anymore, maramar?

4:57 am

Lizsark

What a lovely nickname if it really means flowers

4:57 am

FranMag

bostonmermaid babbles from france, but she doesn't chat much.

4:57 am

FranMag

unfortunately enable doesn't speak chuukese, marmar is not a valid word. :-(

4:58 am

Lizsark

Fran yes we have our own flag. We are self governing!

4:58 am

FranMag

liz, you should scan it and email it to dr_g (like he has nothing better to do)

4:59 am

Lizsark

LOL Will put it on as my icon so you can see it

4:59 am

Marmar

dc, yes, my brothers still, all the time. It beats the other nickname they called me when I was little..."Moose"

5:00 am

Lizsark

Marmar I have a cat called Moose lol

5:00 am

FranMag

lol, ah, what i missed out on, not having brothers. :-)

5:00 am

Lizsark

Fran my flag is there now - if you refresh you will see it

5:00 am

lynxxx

what a noble flag!

5:01 am

FranMag

are those dragons?

5:01 am

Lizsark

leopards

5:01 am

FranMag

thanks liz, it would definitely be unique to have that as your profile flag

5:01 am

lynxxx

which is why there is not a huge population on Sark !

5:02 am

dcseain

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Fla
g_of_Sark.svg

5:02 am

dcseain

Lizsark

FranMag

5:08 am

lynxxx

TY

5:08 am

dcseain

the more you play, marmar, the easier it gets.

5:08 am

FranMag

marmar, do you know about lickety's babble clues in the links below?

5:09 am

Marmar

dc, I was hoping that's the case

5:09 am

Marmar

Fran, I check it out from time to time and it certainly does inspire

5:09 am

FranMag

it is marmar, you'll start recognizing the weird ones

5:10 am

dcseain

like yesterday's 'lwei' - an Angolan subunit currency.

5:11 am

Marmar

I already approach the grid more critically than at first. And I love learning this strange little words. I even get some right when I just start fishing for words. Thats always neat

5:11 am

FranMag

i always need to be reminded of that one dc, it hasn't stuck.

5:11 am

FranMag

Hawaiian goose alert!

5:11 am

dcseain

yes, i found that one early today. :)

5:12 am

Marmar

5:12 am

FranMag

5:14 am

dcseain

i missed a vegetable to which i'm allergic to nearly the end today. we all have our blind spots :)

5:15 am

FranMag

what's in it that makes you allergic dc?

5:15 am

FranMag

and are you allergic to the seed also?

5:15 am

FranMag

although seed is from a different plant, right?

5:16 am

dcseain

i'm allergic to pieces of the carrot family, Fran, incuding the seed and vegedtable in today's puzzle, dill seed, but i can eat dill weed, i can't have caraway, can have carrots and celery and carrot greens and celeriac and celery seed.

5:16 am

7:03 am

Atalante

I'm trying not to get my last 9 then I don't have to do anything useful

7:04 am

Haz1558

How are you managing to avoid finding them?

7:04 am

Atalante

by not looking at the grid LOL

7:04 am

Sandieangel

Gotta rehearsal this afternoon but I'll pop back later and see if anyone else needs clues. Byeee babblers. Happy babbling.

7:05 am

Haz1558

That's a good way. Otherwise they'll just leap out at you.

7:05 am

Haz1558

Bye Sandie.

7:05 am

mrpresident

bye sandie :)

7:06 am

Atalante

and the grid's blurring slightly cos FM has given me her cold / flu / tonsillitis thing *again*

7:07 am

Haz1558

Two doses? She needs isolating, that one.

7:07 am

Atalante

she certainly does!

7:07 am

Haz1558

Has she been around or has guilt laid her low?

7:08 am

Atalante

I think she was here earlier. Well, I vaguely saw her little sunset pic from over on the sofa when I looked at my laptop

7:09 am

Haz1558

I'll have a little look back over the chat log to see if she's shown her face at all.

7:12 am

Lizsark

Hi all

7:12 am

Lizsark

FM was in earlier

7:13 am

Chris P

why isn't pootle a word? i do it all the time

7:13 am

Atalante

hi liz!

7:13 am

Haz1558

Yes, there she was at 3.59. And just when I was about to accuse you of being feverish, Atalante.

7:13 am

Lizsark

I dunno Chris - it definitely should be there :)

7:13 am

Lizsark

Hi Ata

7:13 am

mrpresident

hi liz and chris :)

7:13 am

Lizsark

I have 15 left - methinks I will have to go to the list

7:13 am

Chris P

hi mrp, liz, haz, ata et al

7:14 am

Lizsark

Hi MrP

7:14 am

Haz1558

She's going out to lunch with her godmother. No time for us unworthies....

7:14 am

Haz1558

Hello liz and Chris.

7:15 am

Atalante

phew! obviously not *that* feverish! Don't you just love it - when I was freezing cold yesterday, Hobbit wouldn't come near me. Today now I'm boiling hot she has an intense desire to sit on me

7:15 am

mrpresident

I have 10 left... and I need some assistance

7:15 am

Haz1558

And she'll be like a furnace at the best of times as well.

7:15 am

Haz1558

Shout them out, mrpresident.

7:15 am

Chris P

down to 17 & running out of words

7:16 am

Atalante

is she *ever*! I swear she's got a boiler inside her

7:16 am

mrpresident

ok, pe5, the first one please?

7:16 am

Haz1558

It must be a trait of spaniels.

7:16 am

Haz1558

Another way of saying lots of British coins (part of a pound)

7:16 am

mrpresident

ox5.... don't laugh at me... I am not seeing much today so if it is a fishworthy one, just slap me with a foul mouth bass

7:17 am

Atalante

Spangle too? Its lovely in winter, but in the summer ...

7:17 am

mrpresident

thanks haz! never use that word!

7:17 am

Atalante

its an armpit, mrp

7:17 am

Haz1558

ox5 - ox plus part of the seabird. It's Scots for armpit.

7:17 am

Haz1558

We call Spangle Dragon Breath - not because it's smelly but because it's HOT.

7:18 am

Atalante

does she steam up the car windows after a walk??

7:18 am

Haz1558

She would if husband didn't insist on driving with all windows open. He's a fresh air fiend.

7:19 am

Atalante

I do too, but husband likes warmth. By the time we're back home, he can hardly see for the fogged up dog breath windows

7:19 am

Haz1558

Turn your fans on!

7:20 am

Atalante

he does. its just funny sometimes to see how foggy is gets! (until it gets dangerous of course!)

7:21 am

mrpresident

last ex5? please

7:21 am

Haz1558

ex5/20 - a word used when praising the virtues of someone.

7:21 am

mrpresident

thanks haz :)

7:22 am

mrpresident

second fe6 please

7:22 am

Haz1558

You're welcome.

7:22 am

Atalante

7:22 am

mrpresident

7:22 am

mrpresident

7:23 am

mrpresident

7:23 am

sandr

Atalante

7:24 am

mrpresident

the seabird is killing me!!

7:24 am

mrpresident

7:25 am

Atalante

7:25 am

mrpresident

7:25 am

Haz1558

Thank goodness - we'd have hated to see you defeated by an armpit!

mrpresident

7:27 am

DR1965

Good morning... could I get a clue for the last pe5?

Haz1558

By the way, Hi everyone. I'm fairly new here, but addicted. Trying to improve vocabulary. I love the online community here and after I get the 30-40% everyday words, I benefit from y'alls clues for some of the harder words. Thanks for that. Today is my first day of contributing to the chat.

Yeah; I know but it's EVERY DARN TIME I'm here I do that! <I'm so embarrassed.>

1:40 pm

Nef

And if more that just a few were *really* words; it would be less emarrassing! :)

1:40 pm

Sandieangel

Never mind Nef - I'm sure the head and the hands will co-ordinate eventually! LOL.

1:42 pm

Brewster

1:42 pm

Brewster

*clues

1:42 pm

Sandieangel

ex+ up a **le.

1:43 pm

Brewster

thanks sandie; shoulda seen that one; the easy ones always seem harder than some of the long ones

1:44 pm

Brewster

especially since I got the ex 6/36 and 8/70

1:44 pm

Sandieangel

I always get the difficult ones as well and miss the most obvious ones. Must be some kind of weird mind set we have!

1:49 pm

sallyds

I've reached the place where I have only one left and I've monkeyed until my fingers are bloody. RE6/21. Please don't tell me that it's unbelievably obvious and I just don't see it (it's probably true but please don't tell me). ;)

1:49 pm

praise2him

1:49 pm

praise2him

1:50 pm

Sandieangel

1:50 pm

mcurlschool

1:50 pm

Nef

sally, it's easy once someone tells you

1:51 pm

Sandieangel

Poor sally - you are suffering from babble blindness.

1:51 pm

Nef

a problem we ALL have several times each grid I'm afraid!

1:51 pm

sallyds

Bless you all. FIREWORKS!

1:51 pm

redshoes

1:56 pm

Sandieangel

1:58 pm

dareaper

1:59 pm

some of these words are... a little obscure!

2:00 pm

redshoes

ok, going to go do more work. bye folks!

2:00 pm

Sandieangel

I'm convinced some of them don't exist! They only seem to occur on babble.

2:00 pm

Erilar

dareaper, it usually means home"brewed". . .

2:00 pm

dareaper

lol i think so too

2:00 pm

Sandieangel

Phone call - BRB.

2:01 pm

dareaper

o0o i gotcha kinda like moon shine

2:01 pm

Erilar

The odd part, to me, is that some of the archaic words and an occasional German word will work and others won't

2:01 pm

Erilar

Moonshine in Ireland 8-)

2:02 pm

eieios

2:07 pm

mcurlschool

fireworks!!

2:07 pm

Sandieangel

Wd - the people who got fireworks while I was gone!

2:08 pm

mcurlschool

just in time too, lights are flickerng.....expecting our first BIG wind storm moving in fast it seems.

2:08 pm

Sandieangel

ooooo whereabouts are you in the states mcurlschool?

2:09 pm

mcurlschool

pacific northwest

2:09 pm

mcurlschool

washington to be exact

2:09 pm

Sandieangel

Fancy that - I live in Washington UK.

2:10 pm

mcurlschool

that's interesting

2:10 pm

Sandieangel

We're the original Washington where the family came from.

2:10 pm

mcurlschool

didn't know that....never to old to learn they say

2:11 pm

Sandieangel

Yup! The Washington family were from the north-east of England - in other words they were Geordies! LOL,

2:12 pm

Brewster

down to 8 f's

2:12 pm

Sandieangel

keep going brewster!

2:12 pm

mcurlschool

well, I guess you could say we're the "washers".....we like to joke that most of those born and raised here have webbed feet (all the rain you know).

2:13 pm

Sandieangel

so I've heard - bit damp where you live. Come to think of it it's not too much better in this Washington. Must be something to do with the 'wet' name.

2:14 pm

mcurlschool

how true. I've discovered that if we go to someplace where they need rain....I can honestly say it will rain BEFORE we leave......it happened to us when we went to Miami in May!

2:15 pm

Sandieangel

Now that is just unfair!

2:16 pm

mcurlschool

could be a curse sometimes though especially we we're trying to get OUT of the rain!

2:17 pm

Sandieangel

We had my son's girlfriend from Southern California here over the summer - I think she found the weather 'challenging'.

2:20 pm

mcurlschool

we get the same thing here......another joke is "don't like the weather, wait 5 minutes it will change.

2:21 pm

Sandieangel

how's that windstorm shaping up?

2:22 pm

mcurlschool

I heard there were 60 mph winds out on our coast and should start moving closer inland around 2pm our time....but, the coast covers a lot of area here and if we have any luck we won't get the really big gusts

2:23 pm

Sandieangel

good luck with that - hope things work out OK for you.

2:23 pm

Sandieangel

Phone call. Happy babbling!

2:23 pm

mcurlschool

keeping my fingers crossed; I have big winds as we have LOTS of large trees around our home.

2:23 pm

mcurlschool

bye

2:24 pm

mcurlschool

sorry that would have been I hate big winds.....

2:25 pm

Brewster

3:52 pm

Jellen

Northeast Oklahoma

Hello again. Anyone here?

4:52 pm

hurshy

4:52 pm

hurshy

4:53 pm

Nef

hi, hurshy. It looks like no one is here!

4:53 pm

hurshy

oh, so i'm no one, eh?

4:53 pm

Minveryork

Hi to my fellow babblers!How is everyone doing today

4:53 pm

Nef

I've got 27 left; and seem to have run out of words at this point

4:53 pm

Minveryork

By the way, congratulations to all the finishers! YAY!

4:54 pm

hurshy

you can't run out of words

4:54 pm

hurshy

just like how death cannot stop true love

4:54 pm

hurshy

all it can do is delay it for a while

4:54 pm

Nef

Hi Min. Hurshy, you ARE someone, you know what I meant. I was here by myself I think

4:55 pm

hurshy

suuuuure nef, *i* see how it is

4:55 pm

Dorens

i'm here too now. hello

4:56 pm

hurshy

there is a ladybug problem in our foyer

4:56 pm

Nef

I ran out of words on this grid. Everything I enter now hasn't been found in the dictionary that Babble uses. :(

4:56 pm

hurshy

when i entered it, i was hit in the face by at least five ladybugs.

4:56 pm

meeeee

I have 10 left!

4:56 pm

Dorens

aggressive ladybugs

4:56 pm

hurshy

you are merely encountering a temporary stuckageness. don't get discouraged.

4:57 pm

meeeee

Never had fireworks before...so im excited!

4:57 pm

hurshy

how long since you started playing, meeeee?

4:57 pm

Nef

hi Dorens. When I went back in the chat; there were several people that commented on this place being too quiet today

4:57 pm

Dorens

shall i make some noise?

4:58 pm

Dorens

I've found that small grids make for quiet chat... folks come in and out quickly and don't chat much

4:58 pm

Nef

oh, yes, please! My hubby is napping and he ignores MY noise!

4:59 pm

Dorens

HELLLOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

4:59 pm

meeeee

I'm an occasional babbler...I don't have a permanent account yet even...and i have never sat down for long enough to finish...but i think this might be my first time!

4:59 pm

Dorens

not an easily addicted person, are y ou meeeee?

4:59 pm

hurshy

ok, now let me be clear, i am not ASKING for a clue for the 7 - which i noted this morning in chat as being a TO7 - but i am asking merely this: if i were to ask for a clue for the TO7, would i regret it?

5:00 pm

Nef

Go, meeee! And Dorens; that didn't phase him one bit!

5:00 pm

meeeee

oh no...im addicted...i have played everyday for the last year...

5:00 pm

hurshy

well meeeee if you first registered more than 2 weeks ago, i fear you will not see fireworks today.

5:00 pm

Zugzug7

so this is where everyone disappears to.

5:00 pm

meeeee

just never with enough time to win...

5:00 pm

Nef

I don't know, hurshy. I don't have it yet

5:00 pm

Dorens

depends hursshy.... it's a word i've seen here before, but never anywhere else

5:01 pm

Dorens

i think perhaps i might see it if I worked in a chem lab or something, but not sure

5:01 pm

hurshy

well may i have the third letter of it then, please?

5:01 pm

meeeee

really?! No fair!

5:01 pm

Dorens

u can

5:01 pm

Minveryork

Hello Dorens!How are you doing? Welcome to the grid

5:01 pm

Dorens

sorry... u may

5:01 pm

meeeee

I just graduated from college...so I might be too broke to register...

5:01 pm

hurshy

well meeee, you can have the ones people make in chat

5:01 pm

Dorens

hi min... just back from grueling hour at the dentist's actually.

5:02 pm

Minveryork

Hello meeeee!How are you doing?Welcome to the grid

5:02 pm

hurshy

it is 15 dollars to go pro, and it lasts forever.

5:02 pm

hurshy

will you give it to me, please, dorens dear?

5:02 pm

Dorens

and worth twice the price at leasst!

5:02 pm

Dorens

i did, hurshy dear... i did give it to U

5:02 pm

Nef

hurshy, I just got it on Dorens hint!

5:02 pm

Minveryork

Hi Zugzug7! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid!

5:03 pm

hurshy

it was only 10 when i joined... back in the day

5:03 pm

Zugzug7

ty. i'm not sure I get it. too many letters. I must be a numbers guy.

5:03 pm

hurshy

i am confused. if it is a to7, U cannot be the third letter.

5:03 pm

Dorens

zug... disappear to here... from where?

5:03 pm

meeeee

Hi Minveryork! Thank you:)

5:03 pm

hurshy

sudoku

5:03 pm

Dorens

oh sorry hurshy. blame it on the dentist... L

5:03 pm

Nef

that's the 4th letter

5:03 pm

hurshy

well now, lol

5:03 pm

Dorens

(thinking I was being clever, and actually being doltish)

5:04 pm

meeeee

I actually know some of you because I have a different name every 15 days..the result of not having signed up pro...I know..I'm cheap...I just really should...

5:04 pm

hurshy

thanks, that makes it real easy

5:04 pm

Minveryork

Was 12.95 when I joined. I'm glad I joined when I did!

5:04 pm

hurshy

ohhh, well, if you have a new name within two weeks and doc has it based on screen name, then, i guess you will be able to see fireworks

5:04 pm

Dorens

i don't know.... people spend far more than $15 on things that last much less

5:05 pm

hurshy

if you can see stat boxes, you can see fireworks, i think that's how it goes

5:05 pm

Nef

It was $12 when I joined. I've really enjoyed playing and chatting. It's been my best investment on the internet yet!

5:05 pm

Minveryork

It took me awhile to go pro too,but I did not have to change my name every fifteen days meeeee.Why did you have to do that? Is that a new thing with Babble?

5:06 pm

Zugzug7

do they charge you for both Babble and Sudoku?

5:06 pm

Minveryork

After my house, Babble has been my best investment!

5:06 pm

hurshy

meeeee is probably changing names to maintain the stat boxes

5:06 pm

hurshy

yes, zug.

5:06 pm

Dorens

yes.. they're each separate games

5:06 pm

Zugzug7

:(

5:06 pm

hurshy

doc's gotta make a living

5:07 pm

Nef

meeee, you should join. Ask someone to give you Babble for your b'day or Christmas or whatever comes first. You will never regret it and you will start to build stats that way.

5:07 pm

hurshy

if you think about how much joy he brings to your life, doesn't it seem like a small price?

5:07 pm

Dorens

how much does it cost you for one night at the movies?

5:07 pm

Minveryork

Fortunately, I'm not into Sudoku,so I do not have to pay twice.I tried Sodoku,but never got into it really.

5:07 pm

Minveryork

Good point Dorens!

5:07 pm

Dorens

gosh.....it's not as if we have to spend $15 each month... this is it for life

5:08 pm

Dorens

best deal on the internet

5:08 pm

Nef

I've just paid up for Iron Sudoku and haven't finished a game there yet

5:08 pm

meeeee

Yes, yes. I know. I didn't realize thats all it cost for a life-time membership. Will do it asap

5:09 pm

Dorens

goood. now we can get downn off our soapboxes

5:09 pm

Dorens

:)

5:09 pm

Nef

AND I just bought a babble tee shirt in a pretty blue! Now everyone keeps asking what my shirt says!

5:09 pm

meeeee

Geez Dorens!:) You're going to make me feel guilty every time I watch a movie now!

5:09 pm

Minveryork

Off to do chores.Would rather pay for Babble than a maid! I'll be back later on to finish the grid hopefully!

It has been an emotional rollercoaster with Mary. The pathology reports are coming in from various specialists locally and from cancer ctrs in the US. We are praying for a cure from medical science +/or divine healing. The kids all spent the afternoon at the hospital with her, including the newborn.

Brain tumors suck. Short of a cure we are hoping to "buy time" with radiation and control the cancer as long as possible.

9:28 pm

momof3boys

how can i get my ex to go on this show??? LOL

9:28 pm

GreyWoulf

What I really love about it is the dialogue -- it is written in a style reminiscent of the dialogue from movies like Grosse Pointe Blank or Little Shop of Horrors

9:28 pm

harpjane

twin peaks was the BEST!

9:28 pm

GreyWoulf

Hi Lady

9:29 pm

rururocks

yes creepy and good

9:29 pm

Mom you still got that dog?

momof3boys

anyone else watch brothers and sisters?

9:29 pm

momof3boys

lol ..yes herin...i still got my pup!

9:29 pm

GreyWoulf

my prob with Twin Peaks was that there was so much hinting going on of things to come, that if you missed an episode you were totally lost

9:30 pm

Ok im off. Back after flip

9:31 pm

harpjane

i have them all on tape

9:31 pm

GreyWoulf

mom0'3 -- I strongly recommend you see Grosse Pointe Blank! It is one of the only movies I have ever felt compelled to buy the sound track album for and I think it showcases John Cusack's talent wonderfully

9:31 pm

harpjane

the owls are not what they seem....

9:31 pm

momof3boys

will do grey...sounds great.

9:31 pm

momof3boys

i just caught Gladiator with russell crowe this week... good movie.

I agree with you on Gross Pointe Blank, GW.

9:32 pm

harpjane

well i'm back to the dreaded E's

9:32 pm

GreyWoulf

At some time I will go back a watch the whole series, harp -- I do remember that at the time I was wondering if Kyle MacLachlan was ever going to portray a normal person

9:32 pm

I loved that movie, too, jellen and grey

9:33 pm

i think one of the new characters on Boston Legal was Norma on Twin Peaks?

9:33 pm

momof3boys

9:33 pm

momof3boys

i love james spader.

9:33 pm

GreyWoulf

pam and jel -- it was the movie that made me aware of John Cusack -- I had missed his earlier stuff -- now I try to at least catch his movies on video whenever I am in doubt about what to rent

9:34 pm

I find Spader to be one of those actors that sneaks up on ;you -- I haven't seen him in much, but everytime I have found that his character portrayal was fabulous

9:37 pm

Firefly was the SF series that Joss Whedon made after Buffy the Vampire Slayer -- it gained a huge cult following because of the characters and his dedication to realism

9:41 pm

jillibus

Hi all -- just have to pass this along...
Q: How many women with MENOPAUSE does it take to change a light bulb?

Woman's Answer: One! ONLY ONE!!!! And do you know WHY? Because no one else in this house knows HOW to change a light bulb! They don't even know that the bulb is BURNED OUT!! They would sit in the dark for THREE DAYS before they figured it out.

And, once they figured it out, they wouldn't be able to find the # &%!* light bulbs despite the fact that they've been in the SAME CABINET for the past 17 YEARS!

But if they did, by some miracle of God, actually find them, 2 DAYS LATER, the chair they dragged to stand on to change the STUPID light bulb would

STILL BE IN THE SAME SPOT!!!!! AND UNDERNEATH IT WOULD BE THE WRAPPER THE FREAKING LIGHT BULBS CAME IN!!! BECAUSE NO ONE EVER CARRIES OUT THE GARBAGE!!!! IT'S A WONDER WE HAVEN'T ALL SUFFOCATED FROM THE PILES OF GARBAGE THAT ARE A FOOT DEEP THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE HOUSE!! IT WOULD TAKE AN ARMY TO CLEAN THIS PLACE! AND DON'T EVEN GET ME STARTED ON WHO CHANGES THE TOILET PAPER ROLL !!

I'm sorry.What was the question?

LuwandaHL

jillibus

11:17 pm

LuwandaHL

ooh home page for cc say jackets with longer lenght

11:17 pm

tygerbryght

I wish I'd thought to mention Orvis to herin. They've got nice stuff, and size/height okay, but "mature"

11:18 pm

tygerbryght

all right! Lu! :)

11:18 pm

tygerbryght

I guess everybody's got their puzzles finished?

11:20 pm

jillibus

even Petite pants are too long for me. But even at my advanced age, I am the same height as I always was since I grew up.

11:20 pm

tygerbryght

I might have been, except for arthritis [sigh]

11:20 pm

jillibus

I'm a bit wider, though, ugh

11:21 pm

tygerbryght

11:21 pm

11:23 pm

tygerbryght

I'm the age McCartney useta sing about. The Fateful Day was last month

11:23 pm

jillibus

ah, loved that song

11:24 pm

tygerbryght

AARP made a big thing out of it in the issue with the feature interview of him a while back

11:25 pm

jillibus

tyger, my little boy will reach that age in 5 years

11:25 pm

tygerbryght

so you had him at 21? That's how old I was when I had my son

11:26 pm

jillibus

Gave up subscribing to AARP years ago, but that's nice

11:26 pm

jillibus

yep, tyger

11:26 pm

tygerbryght

they put the feature interviews up on their webpage, I'm pretty sure

11:26 pm

jillibus

You're so good at math, giggle

11:26 pm

tygerbryght

11:27 pm

jillibus

tygerbryght

11:30 pm

jillibus

11:30 pm

tygerbryght

fe6/30 uses an epee

11:31 pm

tygerbryght

fe6/27 is a spice, popular for sausage

11:31 pm

tygerbryght

yw, jilli

11:31 pm

jillibus

well, tyger, if you read all my bio you'll see I'm not a native North American

11:31 pm

tygerbryght

need more help, Lu?

11:31 pm

saintfranny

thanks tyger! GRR i get so mad when i dont see "obvious" words like that

11:31 pm

Jellen

fe + double consonant + ** Cid (Spanish hero)

11:32 pm

tygerbryght

I'll read when we're not chatting :) I'm half Native, but not the side from Canada

11:32 pm

LuwandaHL

ty in could see the first fe and i hate the taste of the other so i blocked it out

11:32 pm

tygerbryght

yw, fran

11:32 pm

tygerbryght

[chuckle] Lu, I'm not fond of that taste, either

11:33 pm

jillibus

Who is Babbler's icon for today? To see it if you're using BabblerExpert, go to Resources -- if not, go to Lickety's page and Icon Themes...

11:34 pm

saintfranny

any help with the 2 c words?

11:35 pm

jillibus

ce + **ply and ce+ **ll the truth

11:35 pm

tygerbryght

Franny, the first one is Latin for wax. the 2 syllables rhyme, the second often appears in memo & email subject lines

11:36 pm

tygerbryght

the 2nd one, take the word for whales - ****cean, and substitue a different vowel for the final one of the 4 letters

11:37 pm

LuwandaHL

i was struggling with my last fe. i was blind to the plant. duh

11:39 pm

saintfranny

gracias

11:39 pm

tygerbryght

yw, franny

11:39 pm

LuwandaHL

sometime i see that difficult ones before the obvious

11:39 pm

tygerbryght

with the combo of Jilli's clues & mine, I guess it wasn't *too* hard? :)

11:40 pm

tygerbryght

me too, Lu

11:40 pm

tygerbryght

I got the 8 in today's fairly early

11:40 pm

jillibus

aw, franny, didn't you get my clues at 11:35?

11:41 pm

tygerbryght

'course, that's not *really* a hard one

11:41 pm

saintfranny

yes i did jilli - many thanks. have 17 left now, but at this point i'm ready for the new grid :)

11:41 pm

tygerbryght

jilli, I thought she was thanking both of us

11:41 pm

saintfranny

i was tyger :)

11:41 pm

tygerbryght

want more clules, franny? We're right here :)

11:42 pm

jillibus

oh, good -- I thought maybe I was being too succinct

11:42 pm

tygerbryght

I'm always wordy - and always jealous of succinct :P

11:42 pm

jillibus

how many to go, franny?

11:42 pm

saintfranny

well, i appreciate the offer. i might could get'em if i used lickety, but at this point doesn't seem worth the effort. i AM stumped at the other "O" though - got the not closed

11:43 pm

saintfranny

still 17 jilli

11:43 pm

tygerbryght

I can boil my prose down, but it takes numerous rewrites

11:43 pm

Jellen

ox + sis*** (female sib)

11:43 pm

saintfranny

i greatly appreciate the succinct, but also enjoy the wordy cuz it's a challenge :)

11:43 pm

saintfranny

Ahhh got it jellen

11:44 pm

tygerbryght

well, it means "armpit" :D - Jellen's clue is excellent

11:44 pm

Jellen

Armpit, really? Huh.

11:44 pm

jillibus

0x5/20 -- ox + ***rible word for armpit!

11:44 pm

tygerbryght

didja get the Hawaiian goose, Franny?

11:45 pm

saintfranny

anyone here drink "republic of tea" brand of tea?

11:45 pm

saintfranny

was that the ne4 tyger?

11:45 pm

tygerbryght

ROFL, jilli!!

11:45 pm

Jellen

I have, franny

11:45 pm

tygerbryght

one of 'em

11:45 pm

tygerbryght

the last one, franny

11:46 pm

Jellen

Just the herbal varieties, though. Not a big black tea drinker.

11:46 pm

LuwandaHL

tyger, you mean annoying Hawaiian goose :)

11:46 pm

saintfranny

i just ordered a batch of the Ginger Peach tea - MMMM my god i luv it so - and got a conf. email from the " minister of orders"... thought that was funny

11:46 pm

tygerbryght

really? but then geese are generally annoying

11:47 pm

tygerbryght

Jellen - I love jasmine tea. Do you consider that "black"? It's usually made with green tea

11:47 pm

LuwandaHL

I can almost understand why they were almost extinct

11:47 pm

LuwandaHL

lol - not really

11:47 pm

Jellen

I'll drink green teas occasionally.

11:48 pm

saintfranny

hey Luwanda - i'm orig. from indiana! anderson to be exact

11:48 pm

tygerbryght

I like teas of most kinds, especially those from Asia, but not the really black ones - especially that tarry stuuff

11:48 pm

LuwandaHL

we live in greefield

11:48 pm

LuwandaHL

small world

11:48 pm

jillibus

I prefer good old Orange Pekoe, strong, being an ex-brit. Jasmine ltea is lovely with Chinese food, being an old Shanghailander.

11:49 pm

tygerbryght

I don't think Chinese food is any good without Chinese teas :)

11:49 pm

saintfranny

i really encourage any tea drinker to try the ginger peach. i just about make a pitcher a day in the summer with my iced tea maker. Mmmm good. needs no sugar at all

11:49 pm

saintfranny

Jilli - my winter fave tea is "Constant Comment" - it's an orange pekoe... that i use Lots of sugar with. and it's great with toast on a cold morning. :)

11:50 pm

tygerbryght

I prefer my flavored teas hot. for cold/iced, I want "plain old" tea

11:50 pm

Jellen

brb

11:50 pm

saintfranny

i once had a brit. friend who got me to enjoy earl grey, with cream and sugar

11:50 pm

tygerbryght

franny, I love Constant Comment hot in winter, too!

11:50 pm

saintfranny

mmmm isn't it the BEST tyger?? oohhh the smell when you open the packet!

11:51 pm

tygerbryght

I was on an Earl Grey kick for a few years, but finally got tired of it. That was about 20 years ago

11:51 pm

jillibus

Ginger peachy tea and such are pleasant hot drinks for them as likes'em, but for me they're not tea.

11:51 pm

tygerbryght

I agree, franny, the smell is intoxicating, but I also love raspberry teas (even tho not preggers) :)

11:51 pm

saintfranny

i never add sugar to my iced tea, but i DO actually still like "sweet tea" - the southern tradition of a glass of sugar with a bit of tea thrown in for good measure

11:52 pm

jillibus

Never cream in tea!!!! Milk and sugar, yes

11:52 pm

saintfranny

is raspberry good for pregnant ladies?

11:52 pm

saintfranny

oh maybe it was milk, jilli. didn't mean to upset you so! haha

11:52 pm

tygerbryght

ROFLOL, franny! I like "sweet tea", but only from those places where they DON'T put a ton of sugar in

11:53 pm

tygerbryght

raspberry leaf tea is excellent for pregnant ladies, especially those nearing the end

11:53 pm

saintfranny

well, my parents are from west virginia, which is considered the "south" even though they're not Really geographically so... and the southerners DO love their sugar. and butter.

11:54 pm

tygerbryght

in winter, I usually alternate between Constant Comment and raspberry (or sometimes just mixed berry) teas

11:54 pm

saintfranny

good to know tyger. i think next year is the year to try and get pregnant. have some fibroids to deal with first, but then, tick tock - time to get on with it already! but i don't know Squat about pregnancy!

11:55 pm

tygerbryght

my mother was from KY, also not really south to the people here in Mississippi. but she taught me how to cook greens and cornbread

11:55 pm

tygerbryght

well, best of luck with it, franny

11:55 pm

jillibus

Once upon a time my Brit mother and I travelled on a train from NY to NC in the days when there were dining cars. We ordered tea, and the guys went into conference in the galley. They showed up with a cup of hot water and a teabag in a saucer on a lettuce leaf.

11:55 pm

saintfranny

ohhh KY is most def. "the south". :) never had greens, but Oh my mom does love her cornbread, with a big pot of beans

11:56 pm

saintfranny

a lettuce leaf!!! LOL

11:56 pm

tygerbryght

I daresay there are enough of us here with experience to "hold your hand"

11:56 pm

tygerbryght

really, jilli? how hilarious/horrible

11:57 pm

tygerbryght

I just noticed, we're almost to flip!

11:57 pm

jillibus

Well, the thing is, tea has to be made with BOILING water in a heated pot and steeped for about 3 minutes.

11:57 pm

saintfranny

thanks tyger... you know, you're right - i love having my babble family who is always here, any time of day or night when i'm feeling lonely - am i'll be quite "alone" ('cept for hubby of course) if i get pregnant - i moved 1,000 miles from "home"

11:57 pm

tygerbryght

jilli, I have Brit friends, and so I know very well that it's not tea if it's not properly steeped in *boiling* water

11:58 pm

tygerbryght

where are you now, franny?

11:58 pm

saintfranny

am worried about not having a support system to go thru those 9 mos. and infancy with, but Duh - All the great broads on here are a goldmine! i'm in RI

11:58 pm

tygerbryght

I also read a lot of Brit fiction

11:58 pm

jillibus

but the guys on the train tried... :)

11:58 pm

tygerbryght

yup, they did try, bless their little hearts

11:59 pm

tygerbryght

I do recall, that's how hot tea orders were filled back when I was a kid

11:59 pm

saintfranny

my brit fiction consists of Rosamunde Pilcher. i used to GOBBLE up every one of her books

11:59 pm

tygerbryght

franny, "little Rhody"?

11:59 pm

saintfranny

yeah, that's one thing it's called. :)
