herinfernallady

Wow BB thats awesome

1:26 am

herinfernallady

I love horse. I wish i could ride more

1:27 am

bbnaz

come and visit and you can ride the Silly Filly (the bay one). She is a half sister to Luna. I have raised her too.

1:27 am

herinfernallady

awww. My friends horse got out once and ate her prize winning roses

1:28 am

bbnaz

haha. that reminds me of when i first got married my hubby taught my dog to eat cherry tomatoes. he grew this magnificent beefsteak tomato and Nikki promptly ate it off the vine. She really really liked it.

1:29 am

herinfernallady

My b.fs parents breed standard poodles and one of them sensed when strawberries where ripe and she would eat them all but the green stem

1:32 am

herinfernallady

back soon

1:36 am

dcseain

Â¡ay! what a word the st7.

1:37 am

FranMag

how many points is it dc?

1:37 am

dcseain

st7/32

1:37 am

FranMag

thanks

1:38 am

FranMag

got it! thanks again

1:38 am

dcseain

:)

1:40 am

bbnaz

i am not at the st yet....but y'all are making me nervous.

1:41 am

FranMag

it just has a strange combination of beginning consonants bb. it would be hard to pronounce. :-)

1:45 am

FranMag

let us know when you need a clue for it bb.

1:46 am

dcseain

it's an odd word, bb

1:46 am

lshult

got ma6 & un6, what 6 am I missing?

1:46 am

FranMag

wow, didn't think fu4/13 would be accepted.

1:46 am

dcseain

lisp is the 2nd&3rd chars

1:47 am

FranMag

he6 lshult

1:48 am

FranMag

great picture dc...spooky, but really nice.

1:49 am

jillibus

thanks for the fu4/13, fran!

1:49 am

dcseain

i thought it was really beautiful. I like classic portrayals of Death, and totally adore the medieval treatment of Death in the Adventures of Baron von Munchausen. :)

1:51 am

o-o

the grim reaper seems somewhat nonplussed being eyeballed by the bunny

1:51 am

dcseain

is there more than one fu4/13?

1:51 am

dcseain

yes, i agree, babrab

1:51 am

FranMag

yw jilli

1:51 am

jillibus

no, dc

1:52 am

FranMag

good eye babrab, didn't even notice the bunny. :-)

1:52 am

dcseain

mmmm. cookie jar

1:52 am

FranMag

thanks for pointing out the un6 lshult, i didn't have it yet.

1:53 am

o-o

death is so permanent

1:54 am

dcseain

indeed so, but thus it is for the denizens of this world.

1:54 am

FranMag

has anyone ever watched the movie "Dragonfly" with Kevin Costner?

1:54 am

jillibus

yes, thanks fran again for thanking ishult for the un6 which I just got, lol!

1:54 am

dcseain

no, fran, i've not.

1:54 am

dcseain

may i get a clue for the un6, pls?

1:54 am

lynxxx

only for the body BabRab

1:54 am

o-o

some would say this is merely a way station; a hiatus in the life of an eternal

1:55 am

FranMag

the pres tells us it's state every month dc

1:55 am

dcseain

that matches my personal theology, babrab

1:55 am

o-o

un 6 is a plural of the afl-cio

1:55 am

jillibus

dc look in the upper left corner

1:55 am

dcseain

sigh. that shoulda been obvious. esp since i've been doing reserach on Grand Un5 recently.

1:56 am

FranMag

anyway, if you get a chance to watch "Dragonfly" do, the theme is along the lines of what we're talking about...the spirit living on.

1:57 am

dcseain

cool

1:57 am

o-o

thank you for the tip, Fran

1:57 am

FranMag

i was quite surprised by it, it was on USA network at 2:00 am so I didn't know what to expect. starts out like a ghost story, but ends in a really nice way. don't want to give anything away

1:59 am

o-o

I spent a lot of time when I was very young trying to get a grasp of the concepts of eternal and death .. I new it was a long time and frustrated myself trying to find a way to hold out and continue among the living

1:59 am

lynxxx

see you all later.....

1:59 am

FranMag

bye lynxxx!

1:59 am

dcseain

bye, lynxxx!

1:59 am

o-o

cya, lynxxx

2:00 am

o-o

knew too

2:00 am

dcseain

i, otoh, learned early on the lesson of mortality of the body, and the immortality of the spirit, thanks to the plethora of undertakers in the family.

2:00 am

dcseain

i'll check it out sometime, fran, sounds neat.

2:03 am

FranMag

just don't expect oscar material...it might have been straight to videotape. :-)

2:10 am

bbnaz

rockets red glare and now bed beckons. i will catch you all when i get back from tucson (if there is no wireless at the hotel)

2:10 am

o-o

congrats, bbnaz

2:10 am

FranMag

FranMag

wb sprite!

2:14 am

jillibus

well, more than halfway and drooping -- goodnight everyone

2:14 am

sprite

I have to ask: am I really such a b*tch when someone makes an honest mistake like jai did earlier?

2:14 am

FranMag

night jilli!

2:14 am

dcseain

off to process emails, back in a bit.

2:14 am

sprite

sweet dreams, jilli *hug*

2:15 am

sprite

and bfn dc

2:15 am

FranMag

later dc

2:15 am

jillibus

I doubt if you are ever b*tchy, sprite

2:15 am

FranMag

i missed that sprite. someone called you a b*tch?

2:15 am

sprite

I can be... try not to though. Especially in chat.

2:16 am

jillibus

I missed it too

2:16 am

sprite

oh no Fran, nobody did. It's just that they said it was lucky I was not online when jai made her mistake.

2:16 am

jillibus

what mistake?

2:16 am

sprite

entering words in the chat in stead of in the word add box.

2:17 am

jillibus

doesn't everyone?

2:17 am

FranMag

i see, it was actually very funny what jai was doing

2:17 am

sprite

I think I am too touchy about it, it is just... well, guess I am kinda vulnerable in this area.

2:17 am

FranMag

jilli, she did it for 5 minutes straight

2:17 am

FranMag

almost a third of the words in the whole grid!

2:18 am

sprite

oh yes, we all do! I can't remember ever having been angry at anyone doing it, you see.

2:18 am

sprite

only it seems jai was focussing purely on the grid and did not see it for a long time, lol... must have been funny

2:18 am

jillibus

sounds hilarious, poor jai!

2:18 am

FranMag

i think she had the chat hidden, she doesn't chat much at all anymore.

2:19 am

sprite

someone said posting a word in the chat would be known from now on as 'doing a jai' :)

2:19 am

FranMag

she was starting to repeat words so i think she was noticing that her word count wasn't changing.

2:19 am

FranMag

poor thing, everyone was practically shouting at her. :-)

2:20 am

FranMag

like not really leaving is "doing a jilli"

2:20 am

sprite

but well... anyway, the thought that people actually single me out as the one better not online when that happens, kinda worries me.

2:20 am

jillibus

:P fran

2:20 am

sprite

exactly, Fran :)

2:21 am

FranMag

don't worry about it sprite...those of us that babble and chat with you all the time know you wouldn't have been mean

2:21 am

jillibus

I'm really leaving now, lol! *poof*

2:21 am

FranMag

and then getting the word seconds after asking for a clue is called "pulling a peri" :-)

2:22 am

FranMag

((jilli))

2:22 am

sprite

that's what I hoped, Fran, but it seems not :(
Not for all my babble friends anyway.

2:22 am

sprite

*hugs jilli on her way out*

2:22 am

FranMag

in fact, i've never seen you be mean to anyone in the chat, so i don't know where they got that thought.

2:23 am

sprite

well, thanks for reassuring me that at least you don't think I am that intolerant. I think I better lay low for a while, not chat too enthusiasticly and watch my words...

2:24 am

FranMag

please don't sprite...i'll miss your company

2:25 am

sprite

so we have babble lingo: pulling a peri, doing a jai, doing a jilli and pulling a goldie (asking for another clue 2 secs after one was given, because you did not get it)

2:25 am

sprite

oh, I don't mean I won't chat, Fran, just am going to watch what I say carefully before posting.

2:25 am

FranMag

the goldie is a new one for me. :-)

2:25 am

sprite

and thanks for saying so :)

2:25 am

FranMag

oh, okay sprite...had me worried there.

2:26 am

sprite

no, I am worried that people I chat with so often would think I would give jai a hard time over something like this.

2:27 am

sprite

must have been some things I have said earlier, I guess... don't know which, so I better watch out what I say then.

and I realise I might be overreacting too... am still very vulnerable in this respect, one of the things from my past that are scrambled by my parents, have not totally gotten them straight again.'

2:29 am

FranMag

i went back and read the log...i had missed the comment, but i see what you mean now.

2:30 am

FranMag

i think everyone was just flustered by what jai was doing...don't read too much into it dear.

2:31 am

sprite

am trying not too... but doesn't really work, sigh. That's why I had to ask. Better ask than worry about it all day, right?

2:31 am

FranMag

that's true

2:31 am

o-o

I simply ask, sprite, if someone says something that you interpret as an unwarranted criticism, is that your problem? That person's problem is not your responsibility unless feel left out not having one.

2:33 am

sprite

I know you are right about that, BabbleRabble. I just told myself the same. But it seems my feelings aren't convinced by what I know to be correct.

2:33 am

FranMag

stupid enable...how is leche not allowed?

2:33 am

sprite

just drop last letter, Fran

2:33 am

FranMag

thanks sprite

2:33 am

o-o

then do yourself a favor and do a better job of selling what you know to be true

2:34 am

sprite

guess it has to do with old feelings. Like no matter what I do or say, people will view me in a negative way.

2:34 am

sprite

am trying to, BabbleRabble, really.

2:36 am

FranMag

brb, have to tidy up the kitchen real quick

2:36 am

sprite

good luck Fran!

2:41 am

dcseain

i do not view you negatively, sprite

2:41 am

Frances

Morning all. Phantoms manacle and manacles.

2:42 am

dcseain

morning, frances, and indeed so.

2:42 am

sprite

thanks dc, for telling me.

2:42 am

sprite

morning Frances

2:42 am

dcseain

for that matter sprite, getting to know you here has doubled my reasons for visiting Amsterdam.

Transference is that set of ways of perceiving and responding to the world which is developed in childhood and which is unually entirely appropriate to the childhood environment (indeed, often life-saving) but is inappropriately transferred into the adult environment.

2:43 am

o-o

hello, Frances

2:43 am

sprite

yup, exactly that, BabbleRabble

2:43 am

dcseain

excellent point, BabbleRabble

2:44 am

FranMag

i'm back!

2:44 am

dcseain

babrab, do you use a dvorak keyboard mapping?

2:44 am

sprite

wb Fran... kitchen all shipshape now?

2:44 am

FranMag

it wasn't that bad and the dishes will wait until tomorrow

2:45 am

o-o

no, dc, have no idea what it is

2:45 am

Frances

Beautiful day here. Temperatures forecast to be above average for the time of year.

2:45 am

FranMag

hi frances! wb dc!

2:45 am

sprite

sounds lovely Fran

2:45 am

FranMag

i think it's interesting that the qwerty keyboard was developed to slow down fast typists.

2:46 am

sprite

it is, Fran! But only to prevent the letter arms to get tangled.

2:46 am

sprite

for me, dvorac is a composer

2:46 am

FranMag

well, the dirty dishes aren't lovely, but i like washing dishes when there is sunlight coming through the window and i can look at the flowers outside.

2:46 am

dcseain

dvorak keyboard: http://tinyurl.com/9x84j i saw unually instead of usually and that's a typical dvorak substitution.

2:46 am

mrpresident

Lickety is on the roof! I have never seen so many leaves in a gutter!

2:47 am

FranMag

ah, that makes sense sprite

2:47 am

FranMag

hi mrp!

2:47 am

dcseain

yes, AntonÃn DvoÅ™Ã¡k is a composer. August Dvorak created the keyboard layout.

2:47 am

o-o

i am not a good typer or proofreader

2:47 am

FranMag

i learned to type on a manual typewriter so i am very heavy-fingered!

2:48 am

mrpresident

hi again fran :)

2:48 am

dcseain

all good. :) perfectly intelligible, it was.

2:48 am

dcseain

i learned on manuals also; in HS they introduced word processors.

2:49 am

FranMag

dc, did you have to relearn touchtyping to use the dvorak?

2:49 am

sprite

mrP, can we chat in Skype for a sec, by typing?

2:49 am

mrpresident

sure thing

2:50 am

FranMag

phantom: ensue

2:50 am

sprite

I learned on a mechanical typewriter too, Fran. I was able to transfer my power to speed and am very fast now

2:51 am

dcseain

yes, fran, but it was well worth it. i attached a tiny spreadsheet with teh layout to my keyboard for a week, and was transitioned.

2:52 am

FranMag

i'm pretty fast on a keyboard too, but you can still hear my typing in the next room. :-)

2:52 am

I learned on a manual too and am quite slow, but with multiple typos

2:52 am

your postings are always very low on typos, BabbleRabble, I'd say.

2:54 am

dcseain

well, only the A and M keys are in the same place of the non-numeric and ~ keys.

2:54 am

dcseain

i agree w/sprite, babrab

2:54 am

dcseain

oh, the | doesn't move either :)

2:55 am

FranMag

that's true, don't see many errors in your posts babrab, so you're a better proofreader than you think!

2:55 am

o-o

I have fun with typing

2:56 am

sprite

I have fun with your typing as well :)
Always interesting entries :)

2:56 am

Sigh. I was studying and the case study made me stop as i was getting pissie about it

4:48 am

dcseain

clue for le4/5?

4:48 am

herinfernallady

It is boring the case study is just stupid. For example. Maria works for Bob and Petes legal firm. Bob asks her to do a letter urgent. She finishes the draft and sends it off without Bob seeing it

4:49 am

herinfernallady

THe problem with this that i had is if you are my boss and you ask me 'Urgent' I will ask you 'by what time' which wasnt in the case study

4:50 am

herinfernallady

DC so far i have all As and one C which was a case of misunderstanding

Oh dear my friends snake got loose yesturday

4:58 am

granadan

oh heck, that would worry me lol

4:59 am

herinfernallady

Get a clip lid cage? Yes that worried her too. More of a worry if the 7 foot (or is that meters what ever is smaller) carpet python got out

5:00 am

wow - would never have got that - TY!

5:07 am

herinfernallady

no its 900pm but daylight savings has stuffed me up

5:08 am

granadan

oh. yes, wish they would leave it be

5:09 am

Haz1558

You wouldn't say that if you lived in the north of Scotland - little enough daylight hours in the winter time.

5:10 am

granadan

I dont mind which way round they leave it - wish they would just leave it. Im either hauling kids out of bed, or chasing them back into bed lol

5:10 am

herinfernallady

I have just eaten so i cant go to bed and i really need to read my study book but its annoying the heck out of me. It needs to be labeled 'How to work in confidentiality for dolts.

Haz1558

I remember when they did decide to leave it be one year. It was horrible!

5:12 am

ah well, Im in the midlands, so I wouldnt know. Only get to the highlands in glorious summer - amazing place

5:12 am

granadan

chuck the book out the window herin and snuggle under a duvet

5:13 am

Haz1558

It is beautiful in the highlands. We're not nearly that far north, but my abiding memory of the experiment was walking to school in the dark for what seemed like months.

5:13 am

Jacula

Morning all. Haz, I remember that, too. It was horrible!

5:13 am

Haz1558

I'm glad I'm not the only one, Jacula! I think it was a Harold Wilson idea, but I may be wrong.

5:14 am

herinfernallady

Seriously how did people know what time it was before clocks? People went on seasons and the moon. We are celebrating Samhein (Beltane here)tomorrow night

5:14 am

herinfernallady

Hi Jac

5:14 am

Jacula

It probably was, Haz. I remember the constant night, like you do.

5:15 am

Haz1558

I also remember the public service announcements and the sudden appearance of fluorescent strips and things.

5:15 am

herinfernallady

Or snuggle next to the boy and play the nitendo and not tell him ' I dont want' to in my sleep like last night. Hornets were chasing e

5:15 am

granadan

we have beltane at the start of may here

5:16 am

Haz1558

Jacula, do you remember the change over to decimal coinage? The jingle was 'Use your old coppers in sixpenny lots'

5:16 am

granadan

youve been eating cheese at bedtime again herein

5:16 am

herinfernallady

Thats right its your spring our winter

5:16 am

Jacula

Haz - I do! I still have the conversion chart they gave us.

5:16 am

herinfernallady

No Grana i was discomoded last night. Cheese was the other night

5:17 am

Jacula

(In fact, I still convert back sometimes! "Ten bob for that??" LOL)

5:17 am

Haz1558

It would be amazing now to see what old pennies could buy you. Everything has inflated so much in price.

5:17 am

Haz1558

I know! Look at the price of stamps - that could have paid a postman's wages for a week in the good old days.

5:18 am

Jacula

I remember feeling rich when my Godparents gave me a birthday card that was a sixpence tree. They'd filled it and the total was 2/6 (Half a crown).

5:18 am

Haz1558

Another memory - saving stamps with toddler Princess Anne on them.

5:18 am

Haz1558

Ten shilling notes were good as well. They appeared at Christmas time from doting relatives.

5:19 am

Jacula

...and those really long postage stamps with ships them. Nearly chocked yourself licking them.

5:19 am

Haz1558

You mean you didn't use the manky sponge in the post office?

5:20 am

Jacula

*ships on them

5:20 am

Jacula

Haz - yuck, no!

5:20 am

Haz1558

The thought of it!

5:20 am

Jacula

LOL, choked not chocked.

5:21 am

herinfernallady

I used to love getting parcels from England via Sea Mail

5:21 am

Jacula

I'll type better when I finished this cuppa.;)

5:21 am

Haz1558

Chocking would be a nice combination of the shock of choking.

5:21 am

ch1212

Okay, haz and jacula -- What is a "manky sponge"?

5:21 am

herinfernallady

Oh sponge that is icky and gross -Manky

5:21 am

FMitch

OMG *passes pension books, sensible slippers and cups of Ovaltine to the dear little biddies*

5:22 am

granadan

LMAO - tell us about the rations!

5:22 am

Haz1558

The manky sponge existed in every post-office. A container, a damp sponge with goodness knows what fluid to dampen it - you were supposed to use it instead of licking your stamps. Fat chance.

5:22 am

Jacula

A piece of wet, dirty, ripped, ink-smeared, glue-sodden, sponge in a pot on which you were supposed to moisten your postage stamps.

5:22 am

ch1212

Icky! Thanks .... carry on :)

5:22 am

granadan

they still have those in our post office

5:22 am

Haz1558

Six months? A sponge isn't considered beyond the pale here until it's done service for ten years.

5:24 am

5:25 am

Haz1558

She was explaining about rationing of clothes etc, gave them an exercise to use up their imaginary points on what they were allowed for the year. None of the boys bought underpants!

5:25 am

FMitch

It's OK grandan, we signed a contract that says we can't all abandon ship at the same time.

5:26 am

Jacula

Well, ch1212, we won't mention the old pubs with their sawdust strewn floors and spittoons then.;)

5:26 am

Haz1558

They wouldn't buy pyjamas either - said they would sleep in their boxers. They hadn't reached the bit about fuel rationing!

5:26 am

herinfernallady

There is one store in the city that if you dont buy anything and want to use the loo you have to spend 'a penny' which is donated to the Children's Hospital.

5:26 am

ch1212

it was more silly than bad- it was bad in the sense that there were lots of them and it took a long time of ignoring them to get rid of them... and they were a bit foul mouthed- more a nuisance and aggravating

LoriP

How ya' been hodag? I haven't seen ya' around much lately.

LoriP

Good description BR

6:49 am

herinfernallady

Its a me thing Pree i nearly slugged the dentist when he stuck his fingers near my face

6:50 am

Preethi

I have been working with disabled children for the last 4 yrs.. trying to do what i can to make things easier for them

6:50 am

LoriP

Uniquity, think I can relate to these facial injury conversations?

6:50 am

carleekat

just keep going.....I believe god gives us tests of faith....I have mine....and u have yours... and it sounds like you are focussing where you need to for now

6:50 am

herinfernallady

That takes someone very special to do that job Pree

6:50 am

montreal13

bravo preethi

6:51 am

good guote lori ... and so true...

6:52 am

montreal13

quote even*

6:52 am

herinfernallady

I kinda fixed the taps today

6:52 am

Preethi

yeah Lori. I use my weekends.. its hectic given I work 14 hrs a day during the week but the sense of gratification you get when you see those kids happy.. nothing like it

6:52 am

LoriP

montreal, I use it all the time. I love that quote, it means a lot to me.

6:53 am

P.J.

I'm doing pretty good. I have been spending a lot of time at my daughters house taling care of my granddaughter because my daughter juet lost their second baby and she really had a rough time of it.

6:53 am

montreal13

i live that quote lori so it does mean a lot to me as well..

6:54 am

LoriP

Oh hodag. I didn't know that. I didn't intend to pry, and feel somewhat awkward and apologetic now. My condolences.

6:54 am

herinfernallady

Pree it upsets me no end that cause a kid is high needs means they are stupid and dumb and that is so not true. My old friends brother was high end Autistic (high needs) and you mentioned retard and well youd get a smacking from him

6:54 am

chiley

Hodag....I'm sorry to hear that. My daughter lost 2 before she finally had Tyler...3 mo. old now

7:03 am

carleekat

it is nice isn't it hodag......one of the few things that kept me going during my long nites of the last month..thinking....someone somewhere that I "know" might right now be thinking about me/ my situation..... and it warms your heart...of course.>i could have been completely delusional at the same time..but the end result was the same

7:03 am

7:14 am

november 4th? monoliths?

7:14 am

LoriP

Like the Superbowl. Every game after that will be anti climax

7:15 am

Angelsong

now, I know this move is really going to happen. we've taken the family photos off the living room walls, and I've packed 80 percent of the things on my desk.

7:15 am

LoriP

excellent Angel. I'm so glad for you, despite all the work involved. Enjoy!

7:15 am

Scarlet

Exactly! New England gets to battle Indianapolis in the battle of the unbeaten teams.

7:15 am

carleekat

football? I presume?

7:16 am

Scarlet

How did you know, kattie! *snort*

7:16 am

carleekat

( I'm a pittsburg fan... through and through...but... its all sentimental..I haven't watched them play in over a year )

7:16 am

Scarlet

Angel, you sound as though your feet are not even on the ground...

7:16 am

Angelsong

I just remembered last night, our wedding anniversary is November 4th. it will be our 9th.

7:17 am

carleekat

< no pun intended of course >

7:17 am

Scarlet

Pittsburgh had some manners put on it last weekend,kat, but they are an outstanding team.

7:17 am

Angelsong

scarlet, I'm so far from the ground, I'm surprised I don't have a nosebleed....

7:18 am

carleekat

goes back to the days of old style quarterbacks.... terry bradshaw, roger stauback,

7:18 am

Scarlet

LOL, Angel. I am so happy for your good fortune!

7:19 am

Scarlet

Kat... each team sort of develops its leadership, and the old-style never really went out of fashion, just a cleaner way of captaining the team.

7:19 am

Angelsong

scarlet, take a look at the photos...

7:19 am

NonoNanette

Angel your house is going to be fabulous.

7:19 am

NonoNanette

is it in a new community?

7:19 am

Angelsong

yes, it is a new community.

7:19 am

carleekat

they....don't call the plays...they consult... i liked it when the coach trusted the quarteback to follow the game plan..not be lead through it step by step

7:20 am

Angelsong

in a really nice, small town setting, but still close enough to get to work.

7:20 am

carleekat

sounds lovely angel...

7:20 am

herinfernallady

Lovely house Angel

7:20 am

herinfernallady

Sorry everone i have to sleep. Falling further down couch

7:21 am

Scarlet

There are some teams which don't even use the offensive coordinator and play callers from the booth... they do trust the Q-back... like Manning and mostly, Brady, who are the field generals.

7:21 am

carleekat

nite nite herin... sweet dreams {{hug}}

7:21 am

NonoNanette

nite nite Herin sleep well

7:21 am

I guess..when I have time... i will try watching again red.... i still prefer a football game live... then on tv ...but....

7:23 am

carleekat

( see..lori... I DID tell you scarlet said your kids are wonderful)

7:23 am

Scarlet

Kat, you have been a bit "distracted" lately... I'm sure that sports is the last thing on your list...

7:24 am

montreal13

tea fine scarlet - quite weak by some standards but fine by me

7:24 am

Scarlet

Is it helping you with this grid, mon ami? If tea helped me, I'd be making it by the pot!

7:25 am

carleekat

well..its just that hockey takes up the time...actually when I visit hubby..in the evenings we curl up on his bed and watch the hockey games on tv...so..sports is on..just not your sports... the nurses let me stay past visiting hours as we are just sitting quietly not distubing anyone...

7:25 am

Angelsong

thank you, Scarlet. we've been working on the house project for the better part of the summer. We saw the model in late July, signed the contract the first week in August, and finished the mortgage paperwork the first week in October...now, we're watching the construction. We go out to the property once a week.

7:25 am

montreal13

i DO make it by the pot !! - helps me keeping warm and not dry...

7:25 am

Scarlet

Oh, kat... I can SEE you doing that with your hubby... so sweet!

7:26 am

Morning All!!

7:26 am

montreal13

good morning peri !

7:26 am

carleekat

what is funny is all the others in the room ( this rehab its by wards.... no semi or private allowed ) have the same game on their tv's..and we are all grumbling or cheering in unison...all behind our curtains...

7:27 am

carleekat

hi peri {{hug}}

7:27 am

Scarlet

Hello there, your Peri-ness! {{Hug}}

7:27 am

Scarlet

That's funny, kat... very funny!

7:27 am

periwinkle

thanks for the hugs :-)

7:28 am

Scarlet

Welcome!

7:28 am

carleekat

you find humour everywhere... no....we cheer for toronto....

7:28 am

montreal13

i knew it... grrr

7:28 am

Scarlet

Yes, I do, kat. Life can be brutal and if there is a quirk or a Twilight Zone moment, that appeals to my oh-so-serious mind!

7:29 am

periwinkle

looks like a hard grid, is it?

7:29 am

carleekat

by default really... I used to be a manic oiler fan... and I also cheer for the rangers... only cause I think their coach is one of the best and has had a really raw deal by the those that govern the establishment called the NHL

7:29 am

montreal13

yes peri... made it to 60 and i'm starting to think about lickety's...

7:30 am

carleekat

am at 67 and stalled... completely

7:30 am

Scarlet

Well, peri... I've been "visiting", so I only have eight words... looks tough, though.

7:30 am

montreal13

which coach was that carlee ?

7:30 am

periwinkle

just started and words are not popping out as they usually are, have 12 so far

7:30 am

ted nolan

7:31 am

NonoNanette

am missing one f...... i have fe x 5 and fu x 5 what am i missing?

7:31 am

montreal13

yessss - i agree with you completely - that was way below common decency...

7:31 am

Scarlet

Must make the beloved something hot and hearty... does last week's ham with some eggs and homefries fill the bill? The coffee is made, so it's to the kitchen for me for a bit!

7:31 am

carleekat

( I used to cheer for montreal when....and now am having a brain fart... they had the coach that was the former cop.... I'd cheer for his team no matter what team he's coaching)

7:32 am

montreal13

Pat Burns

7:32 am

cya later Scarlet

7:32 am

what's really neat is that my daughter and her husband are buying a new house also...they've been living here since mid-August, and they are moving into their home the same time as we are moving.

7:32 am

montreal13

7:32 am

7:33 am

chiley

Babble...I'm a big Eagles fan but haven't heard any of Long Road Out of Eden. Have you heard it?

7:33 am

montreal13

Pat Burns currently has his 15 minutes every morning on a french radio morning show... his comments are usually right on...

7:33 am

o-o

yes, really like it

7:34 am

carleekat

the guy that is coaching toronto think could be a good coach but the management of toronto is holding his reins too tight... tornot spends the most on their line..and no matter who the hell their coach is..no one SHOOTS the bloody puck...

7:35 am

montreal13

lol carlee...

7:35 am

carleekat

completely frustrating..and management doesn't care..cus win or lose..the arena is full every night

7:35 am

periwinkle

brb

7:36 am

chiley

BR...is it all new or some of the old too?

7:36 am

montreal13

we have the same problem here - arena always full so management doesn't seem to be motivated in improving the team...

7:36 am

o-o

all new

7:36 am

chiley

I'll check it out

7:37 am

carleekat

1st rule of hockey..you can't score if you don't shoot.... and crap..2nd rule is...if the goalie deflects the first shot...u have your man out front to SHOOT the puck again on the rebound..none of this..pass..pass..pass... pass..oops lost the puck at the point..better chase it back down the ice....grrrrrrrrrrrrrr

7:37 am

montreal13

lol carlee...

7:37 am

NonoNanette

Yay.... FIREWORKS

7:38 am

montreal13

wtg Nanette !

7:38 am

carleekat

and what the heck is this goalie flop business going on...every goalie these days goes down on the chot..so...YOU WHO!?!?!? shot high to the corner...it will sail past the glove

7:38 am

<POMPOM TWIRL> for nono...yippeee

7:39 am

carleekat

7:39 am

bonkler

the only hockey worth a fraction of a moment of attention is the canadian women's national team. the nhl can nibble my bum. after the greedy stance taken by both the league and the players, they lost my lifelong loyalty to the sport.

7:39 am

montreal13

you should see Kovalef... he turns and spins around players, dekes and re-spins and wil shoot only if there is no other options - he must have come from the Bolshoi !!!

7:40 am

NonoNanette

lol Carlee....... I know absolutely nothing about hockey other than it is played on ice and they chase that little round puck all over the place

7:40 am

carleekat

oh..i caught the final game in middle of the night rerun... wow..fab game..total domination..by mid of 2nd period..it was clear canada had so much depth... and usa was completely out of steam

7:41 am

carleekat

then..why isn't he on toronto's line <BUStING GUT LAUGHING AT SELF >

7:41 am

montreal13

i do like the Canadian women hockey team - year in year out, escellent hockey...

7:41 am

montreal13

excellent even*

7:42 am

montreal13

such talent...wasted it seems...

7:42 am

bonkler

they actually care about the sport and play with the grit and intensity that the game is supposed to embody. totally boycot the men's "olympic" tripe.

7:43 am

NonoNanette

ok i'm off everyone have a great day and happy babbling

7:43 am

Angelsong

fireworks for me.

7:44 am

EvaNadine

mornin babblers!

7:44 am

carleekat

i was watching I think it was game 3 of WS..and the announcer ( no idea who he was ) was talking about hockey... and that hands down...hockey players are the best conditioned athletes out there right now...I thought..wow...from some southern tv sports jockey even.... ( not to demeen southerners...its just..southerners typically are not interested in or not exposed to hockey......)

7:44 am

bonkler

way to go angelsong!

7:44 am

montreal13

agree with you bonk - but the root of this was that the other olympic hockey teams in the past were not really amateurs at all...

7:44 am

carleekat

<POMPOM TOSS> for angel....

7:44 am

montreal13

well done angel !

7:47 am

bonkler

fair enough montreal13 but i'd rather see us lose with honour than win without it. the olympics has taken a high dive into the toilet of commerce. they sold their ideals for an endorsement and a picture on a happy meal. i really feel for theathletes in the non-marquee sports that really do fulfil the olympic ideal as it was meant to be. they've been double crossed.

7:48 am

carleekat

i agree totally bonkler... i don't watch the mens hockey....or the mens basketball

7:48 am

montreal13

hear hear bonk ! - the olympics have lost their appeal, in my eyes at least, for the reasons you stated

7:56 am

10:35 am

Uneaixoise

I'll never forget opening up Time magazine a few years ago and seeing an article re Claudia Kennedy, a very quiet petite young woman I went to college with--she's the first and only woman Lieutenant General in the US Army--go figure!! LOL

a while into the show, he walks over to her and asks if shes in the show.
of course, she says No, and then he says, "well, get your GD feet of my Fing stage!"
(since pryor was known for his harsh language, it was a fun experience for her....heh)

Haz1558

It is, triple, I agree.

11:06 am

Scarlet

Oddball, FM.

11:06 am

Becca Lorum

HI Scarlet.

11:06 am

Becca Lorum

Weird words today FMitch

11:06 am

11:07 am

Haz1558

And as for the babblers...

11:07 am

Becca Lorum

Baah Again! I can't even resort to scanning and printing becasue my scanner cable has 'mysteriously' disappeared

Goodbye, Uniquity!

11:11 am

FMitch

Good question

11:11 am

montreal13

hi babblers everywhere ! back with 32 left...

11:11 am

Scarlet

Exactly, Haz... but that was a clue long ago.

11:12 am

nurse1000

Good morning all. Some weird words for sure today. Stuck at 5. Anyone please help el5,12 he5 14 , he6 24 , le5 12, ma6 27. Just can't see a thing at this point..

11:12 am

Vicuna

Same way O is a round consonant, I guess.

11:12 am

Haz1558

Hello montreal.

11:12 am

Scarlet

montreal... all braced with another pot of tea?

11:12 am

Scarlet

LOL, Vicuna...

11:12 am

Haz1558

he5/14 and he6/24 were clued just a minute or two ago.

11:12 am

Becca Lorum

HI Montreal and NUrse

11:12 am

montreal13

lol vi ! - no scarlet, just finished the entire pot !

11:13 am

Haz1558

el5/12 - e plus three letters of a yellow citrus fruit, finish with a vowel. A vowel!

11:13 am

Scarlet

Then have at it, montreal!

11:13 am

Scarlet

A real vowel, no doubt!

11:13 am

Haz1558

le5/12 - looks like a franglais version of The homme. Le plus a male.

11:13 am

FMitch

... and I bet you ate all the cookies too monty :(

11:14 am

montreal13

tx scarlet - i should be "pumped up" enough to tackle the remaining words...

11:14 am

Haz1558

ma6/27 - Mr Guevara tacked on the end of a male.

11:14 am

montreal13

lol FM - but no, I don't touch cookies...

11:14 am

Scarlet

LOL, montreal. *Passing platter of fresh oatmeal/raisin cookies to FM*

11:14 am

Haz1558

ma6/27 being the singular version of the first ma7/40.

11:15 am

FMitch

Oooh they sound scrummy Scarlet, thank you.

11:15 am

montreal13

"... tempted... but resisting..."

11:15 am

Scarlet

They are spicy with cinnamon and nutmeg, montreal...

11:16 am

Scarlet

buttery... still slightly warm...

11:16 am

montreal13

scarlet stop ! - you are leading me to the road to hell...

11:16 am

Haz1558

Scarlet, you should be in advertising.

11:16 am

FMitch

Good for you monty but occasional sweet treats are allowed.
Sounds like a recipe I have been trying to find for the last couple of weeks...

11:16 am

Scarlet

sooooooooo good with a hot cuppa Chai...

11:16 am

Scarlet

That's me, montreal... why do you think they call me "Scarlet"? LOL

11:17 am

montreal13

i swore off desserts many moons ago... except for birthdays and special occasions

11:17 am

Scarlet

I was, Haz. I hated being a "word-whore" pushing products in which I had no belief. I ran for my life and found my dignity.

11:17 am

montreal13

ahhh the temptress ?

11:17 am

Haz1558

Careful, Scarlet, or you'll get FMitch calling you something akin to sultry...

11:17 am

nurse1000

am5 12. last one. ty Haz and others who helped. Now maybe I can get something else done today

11:18 am

Takuma Sato

Good afternoon folks -- how's the grid today?

11:18 am

Vicuna

What could be more special an occasion than any occasion with fresh-baked cookies?

11:18 am

montreal13

hi TS - strange words today...

11:18 am

Scarlet

LOL, Haz.

11:18 am

Haz1558

am5/12 - two versions end in a vowel, one is a plural.

11:18 am

Scarlet

Hi, Takuma Sato... a brain cruncher, but fun!

11:18 am

nurse1000

am 5 12 - the first one .

11:18 am

montreal13

lol vic, but not an occasion "enough"...

11:18 am

Scarlet

Exactly what my husband says, Vicuna!

11:19 am

Haz1558

Hello Takuma - it is interesting today. Interesting that some words you've never encountered before, nevertheless exist.

11:19 am

trueheart11

this puzzle seems like a repeat. does it look familiar to anyone else?

11:19 am

Takuma Sato

cool -- I like the tough ones, as long as the toughness is not solely the result of babblets

11:19 am

FMitch

Shhhh Haz, I'm being good and virtuous today and concentrating on the grid.

11:19 am

Haz1558

I do beg your pardon, am5/12 - a plus what the foremost attraction would be called.

11:19 am

Takuma Sato

heh, haz, sounds like the kind of tough that approaches frustrating ;)

11:19 am

montreal13

nurse, my 1st am5/12 is a + **** street

11:20 am

Haz1558

It's a suspension of disbelief kind of grid at times.

11:20 am

Haz1558

FMitch is being good? That'll be a first....

11:20 am

FMitch

Tsk!!

11:20 am

montreal13

not familiar to me anyway trueheart...

11:20 am

Scarlet

No, trueheart... do you have another day's grid up?

11:21 am

nurse1000

Can you imagine I missed that first one. I guess the old brain has just given up by now. Thanks to all. finally fireworks and glad to see them. Nice chatting with you all.

11:21 am

montreal13

FM virtuous ????

11:21 am

trueheart11

no, it just seems very familiar

11:21 am

Haz1558

Well done nurse!

11:21 am

Takuma Sato

ah well. it's nicer, imo, to be able to get and give semantic clues than spelling ones, but I'll dive in anyway ;)

11:21 am

Haz1558

I know, montreal, kind of beggars belief, doesn't it?

11:21 am

montreal13

wtg nurse !

11:21 am

Scarlet

Well done, nurse!!

11:21 am

Takuma Sato

congrats, nurse

11:21 am

FMitch

Don't you start monty, Im in a "take no prisoners" mood today

11:22 am

montreal13

absolutely haz... incredible !!!!!

11:22 am

Haz1558

You mean you reject our hoops, our snakes, our chairs, Takuma?

11:22 am

Book Doctor Gwen

phantom sleuth and hi all!

11:22 am

Haz1558

Speaking of taking no prisoners, George has done a runner, FM. I blame you, of course.

11:22 am

montreal13

hi gwen

11:22 am

Haz1558

Hello BDG.

11:23 am

Vicuna

All right, FM, I think montreal deserves to be not taken prisoner. Let's see it!

11:23 am

montreal13

need another slave Haz ??

11:23 am

Takuma Sato

heh, when I need a clue, I'll take anything I can get

11:23 am

FMitch

Ah now that wasn't my fault - Zen was the one to gain most by George disappearing....

11:23 am

FMitch

LOL greetings Vi :)

11:23 am

Haz1558

George was useless as a slave. He kept talking about insurance restrictions.

11:23 am

nurse1000

ty all. Have a good day everyone. Gorgeous weather here today - should really work in the yard instead of housework

11:23 am

montreal13

well yesterday, it was all FM's fault...

11:23 am

Takuma Sato

It is interesting how the clues have developed, though -- way back when the game started with chat, the clues were almost always definitional

11:24 am

FMitch

Is Haz paying you monty?

11:24 am

montreal13

believe me, insurance would be the last thing on my mind...lol

11:24 am

Takuma Sato

for crazy words, people offered verbatim definitions, so the word could be googled if one wanted

11:24 am

Vicuna

Nowadays, Takuma, everyone seems to have an expectation of the right to finish, and clues must be provided that make that possible.

11:24 am

Scarlet

I think the majority prefer the thinking clues, TS

11:24 am

montreal13

no money has reached my hands FM...

11:25 am

Vicuna

I'm with you on a prefernece for clues that make you think... at least a little!

11:25 am

Scarlet

I had forgotten the "chairs" Haz...

11:25 am

FMitch

Yesm Takuma, babble is continuously evolving and changing, not always for the better.

11:25 am

Haz1558

I'm happy with definitions, anagrams, opposites, soundalikes. Just don't spell things out.

11:25 am

Scarlet

Oh, gosh, FM... what do you mean?

11:25 am

montreal13

i agree with you scarlet... none of the 1st vowel + 3rd cons. stufff.

11:25 am

Takuma Sato

I didn't think I was alone in the preference, heh. some of the spelling clues are very creative -- yours are great, for instance, haz

11:25 am

Haz1558

The chairs are for the snakes and hoops to rest against.

11:26 am

Haz1558

Thank you Takuma - I'm flattered.

11:26 am

Scarlet

Unless someone is really blindsided by a word, then it is merciful to lead them...

11:26 am

Vicuna

And the hook letters are for fishing them back up again when they try to drwon themselves.

11:26 am

Vicuna

Or drwon. Whatever.

11:26 am

Takuma Sato

Do any of you guys remember early on when chat was up and almost no one used it

11:26 am

Vicuna

D-R-O-W-N

11:26 am

Vicuna

Aaargh!

11:27 am

Haz1558

We're not nearly as old as you, Takuma.

11:27 am

montreal13

we're on the same wavelengths scarlet

11:27 am

FMitch

I do, chat was really only for calling the big ones and the occasional hello

11:27 am

Scarlet

I think so, montreal.

11:27 am

montreal13

lol haz - i dont remeber either takuma...

11:28 am

Takuma Sato

hrm

11:28 am

Vicuna

I dunno, Takuma, I've been on longer than you, and I remember much banter about hottubs and champers right from the start.

11:28 am

Haz1558

Yes, FMitch is really old as well.

11:28 am

Scarlet

I personally enjoy the international tone of chat... I learn wonderful words and expressions nearly every day...

11:28 am

Takuma Sato

lol -- guess I had that coming, sounding like a greybeard

11:28 am

montreal13

hot tubs !

11:28 am

Takuma Sato

can we see our start dates?

11:28 am

Book Doctor Gwen

champers and hottubs? (wonders if she's in the right chatroom)

11:29 am

Vicuna

Yes, it's in the profile.

11:29 am

Takuma Sato

My original username is Egregious Jones -- but I gave that to my mom for Christmas

11:29 am

FMitch

Yup Im really really ancient but Haz is older than me Ha Ha

11:29 am

Vicuna

Oh, so maybe you have been on longer than me!

11:29 am

montreal13

lol

11:29 am

Scarlet

I thought I was the resident ancient one...

11:30 am

Scarlet

Not insofar as Babble longevity, though.

11:30 am

Haz1558

I remember Egregious Jones - not the easiest to type!

11:30 am

FMitch

*Ahem, clears throat* It was I that suggested to Dr_G that he add the start date field to profiles when this site was in beta testing.

11:31 am

Haz1558

Round of applause for FMitch.

11:31 am

Deeha

the resident ancient one? Not even close Scarlet!!

11:31 am

Haz1558

Look out for that envelope from Buckingham Palace.

11:31 am

Vicuna

April 2004 - wow, you are ancient, Takuma!

11:31 am

montreal13

bring out the champers for FM !!

11:31 am

Vicuna

Yay for FM!

11:31 am

jan

Some of us still give definitional clues.

11:31 am

Vicuna

Throw her in the hot tub!

11:32 am

Deeha

Oh sorry came in in the middle. Though we were talking about what mu husband used to call anni domino!!

11:32 am

Haz1558

MBE for FMitch - for services to Babble. I can see it all.

11:32 am

FMitch

Ignores Haz but not before sticking tongue out in her general direction
LOL love the hot tub but it was always full of custard!

11:32 am

jan

sone

11:33 am

Vicuna

I think we had both ideas of ancient running simultaneously, deeha.

11:33 am

montreal13

brb

11:33 am

Haz1558

I'll just hotfoot it to the post box and retrieve that letter to the Queen....

11:33 am

FMitch

and MrP suggested the fireworks inset as before then there was nothing

11:33 am

Deeha

it must be our age Vicuna!!

11:33 am

Egregious Jones

howdy folks!

11:34 am

Vicuna

Egregious! Are you really Takuma this time?

11:34 am

FMitch

LOL how could one forget that icon!

11:34 am

Egregious Jones

This is the same person as takuma -- yep

11:34 am

ursh

Hello all - looking back at chat and must say "jan" is seriously babblancient

11:34 am

Haz1558

Well. looky here, Mr Jones has appeared!

11:34 am

Egregious Jones

Just wanted to check the start date. Feels a lot longer than 3 and a half years!

11:35 am

Scarlet

LOL, Deeha... I WAS talking about ages... there are such young'uns here...

11:35 am

Egregious Jones

back to takuma -- don't want to sow confusion

11:36 am

Vicuna

When was Babble first launched?

11:36 am

Haz1558

No, don't be like mousey and goldies. You got dizzy trying to work out who was who.

11:36 am

Takuma Sato

I don't think I ever knew, vic

11:36 am

FMitch

September 30th 2003

11:36 am

Takuma Sato

I seem to recall playing before there was paying

11:37 am

Vicuna

Oh, wow. So who's the oldest member?

11:37 am

Vicuna

Even I played before the whole pro thing came up, though.

11:37 am

Haz1558

Impressive, FMitch. You could take 'Babble' as your specialist subject on Mastermind.

11:38 am

Scarlet

Takuma... was the Jean Paul Belmondo (sp?) in your Egregious Jones' pix?

11:38 am

Scarlet

*that*

11:39 am

Takuma Sato

yep, scarlet

11:39 am

Scarlet

What a guy!

11:39 am

granadan

hi again everyone!

11:39 am

FMitch

I do't know Vi but on the day it launched there were 7 players and one of those was Dr_G

11:40 am

Haz1558

granadan - hello again!

11:40 am

Takuma Sato

heh, I think that pic of him smoking in his girlfriend's bathrobe about sums up his character in the movie

11:40 am

Vicuna

Hmm... I wonder if any of the other 6 are still playing.

11:40 am

granadan

cor - you still 'ere?

11:40 am

FMitch

I don't recognise the names but you can take a look by going back to the archives

11:41 am

Scarlet

I have had conflicting thoughts, FM... I want Babble to be highly successful, yet, if it were to make a big splash, we might be crowded away from an intimate sort of chat... I make myself crazy sometimes! LOL

11:41 am

granadan

I'm back to unashamedly beg for clues. 14 to go and himself due home from work in an hour or so - Im banned from babbling when he is home LOL

11:41 am

Vicuna

Oh, of course. Well, if you don't recognize them then I don't suppose I would either.

11:41 am

Scarlet

Hi, there, granadan!\

11:41 am

Takuma Sato

Anyone know what DrG's doing now? when Babble started, I think he was in law school

11:41 am

Haz1558

I have been away and returned!

11:41 am

FMitch

Scarlet I fe**/feel the same way

11:42 am

triplebock

ch 5/16 anyone?

11:42 am

Takuma Sato

I think babble was mentioned either in some very popular blog or a USA Today article a couple years ago, yielding a flood of new players

11:42 am

Scarlet

Checking on George's cubbyhole, Haz?

11:42 am

Haz1558

It's like holiday destinations. Keep all the other tourists away except you.

11:42 am

Vicuna

There was a big flood of us that came in when I did (my husband saw the article) and another big flood maybe another year after that.

11:42 am

Scarlet

Right, Haz!

11:42 am

Haz1558

No - it was telling granadan that I haven't sat here the WHOLE time since last we spoke this morning.

11:42 am

FMitch

It was in an MSN blog Takumo or at least I remember one particularly large influx of youngesters that came from that.

11:43 am

stidmama

(I was one of the new players nearly two years ago...) *returns to lurk mode*

11:43 am

11:50 am

11:51 am

FMitch

Scarlet rubies and diamonds are more your look

11:51 am

Vicuna

11:51 am

Scarlet

Mike Tyson is a moron.

11:53 am

Scarlet

I would not waste on word on that rapist, thug, Piltdown man!

11:53 am

granadan

Mr Eubank has that squeaky voice too

11:53 am

Haz1558

Exactly, granadan - I was thinking of him as well. He's not quite as thuggish though.

11:53 am

Deutsch

Scarlet, I like the Piltdown man reference

11:54 am

granadan

hes a right affected wurzel IMO

11:54 am

triplebock

12:05 pm

triplebock

was hoping the le 5/12 after that was going to build off of it :( any ideas?

12:05 pm

Haz1558

If you click on the ? beside a word it gives a definition - except for those where the dictionary people went on strike.

12:05 pm

MarkDF

ah, thanks. This reminds me of playing scrabble against my granddad, who knew all these obscure words

12:06 pm

Haz1558

le5/12 - structured the same as a yellow citrus fruit, save for one vowel. Ends in a masculine way.

12:06 pm

triplebock

12:10 pm

granadan

12:10 pm

Haz1558

I'm worried about Scarlet. Has she been bowled over by Chris Eubank's charms?

12:10 pm

montreal13

hey triple, was leading you astray last week - my icon is called fleurdelys - the Quebec flag is the fleurdelysÃ©e

12:11 pm

Haz1558

ma7 - first is a plural, second moves the last letter one along in the alphabet.

12:11 pm

granadan

we did warn her to strap down, so we arent liable

12:11 pm

triplebock

hey montreal! if you can believe even our football team has it on their jerseys! they are not very good but i still cheer for them!

12:11 pm

Haz1558

That's true, granadan. No responsibilty here at all.

12:12 pm

montreal13

u said it was the symbol of your town - which town is that ?

12:12 pm

granadan

TY Haz. ma*? I had hoped it was aplural of that other 7 lol

12:12 pm

triplebock

new orleans, louisiana...

12:12 pm

FMitch

How about another theme each day - clues to be given in a certain style? For example:
In txt spk
As Shakespeare would have asked.
In the style of Eubanks ... ... etc etc
*big grin*

12:13 pm

granadan

oh please no text speak.

12:13 pm

Haz1558

I give clues in text speak for no-one!

12:13 pm

montreal13

ahhh yesss Triple - now i understand ! - Louisianna was of course, a french possession until NapolÃ©on sold it to the US...

12:13 pm

granadan

ma8 anyone?

12:14 pm

MollyL

12:14 pm

FMitch

12:14 pm

montreal13

12:14 pm

granadan

or te7?

12:14 pm

Haz1558

ma8 is plural of ma7/40 (the second). ma7/40 the second is the same as the first, save for the last letter which moves one along in the alphabet.

12:14 pm

Deutsch

12:14 pm

aknitter

it is a 2 tissue laugh

8:21 pm

Minveryork

I am done! Thank you Jacula for cluing the last word!

8:22 pm

Jacula

I'm v. happy tonight, Min. My son (23) just told me he's found a girl he likes at last! He's off to Holland (where she lives) to meet her (and her parents) at the weekend. They (he and she) met playing WoW.

VERY SCARY, nut.

8:32 pm

Jacula

ak - it happens! Ever caught yourself unawares in a mirror or a shop window, ak, and wondered what your Mum was doing there?

8:32 pm

Jacula

That's even scarier than the pic nut just showed me... well, almost.

8:33 pm

aknitter

now that could not happen as she is about 6 inches taller than i am with red hair (mine is black) i resemble my dad

8:34 pm

Jacula

ak - it's not so much the physical resemblance as a certain expression just caught unexpectedly.

8:35 pm

aknitter

8:37 pm

herinfernallady

NUTTTTTTTTIE you there?

8:38 pm

Jacula

Actually, my Mum made a confession to me a couple of weeks ago that has relieved me greatly. She used to moan like hell at my Dad when he mashed my soft-boiled eggs up with bread and butter for me, and she moaned like hell on the morning of my wedding when he stopped at the Co-Op and the way from bringing me back from having my hair done to buy doorstep-sized bread and thick sliced bacon and made us both bacon sandwiches too 'set us up for the day'. Out of the blue, she mentioned this, and said she had no idea WHY she'd made a fuss about it. Not sure if it was the menopause or jealously.

8:39 pm

Jacula

I was SO glad she told me this.

8:39 pm

Jacula

Hi, herin.

8:40 pm

Jacula

I'd say 'bye to AK but she won't hear me as her head's in the tumble dryer.

8:40 pm

Jacula

Amy - sorry! Glad you got the word anyway.

Jacula

I was just off looking for a sound file of Vincent Price laughing that I could link to. No luck so far.

8:52 pm

harpjane

hi jac, scrab

8:53 pm

Jacula

The st7 means an excess of strength. st + 'Not she' + US secret service with different first letter.

8:54 pm

Jacula

I don't watch the UK TV series 'Spooks' for nothing, you know! LOL.

8:54 pm

praise2him

th5/24 plz?

8:54 pm

Scrabbler

TY, Jac--I have not seen that word but I have seen a + st7

8:56 pm

Jacula

th5/24 is a type of evergreen pine-type tree. Its oil is used to get rid of verruccas (foot or plantar warts).

8:56 pm

Jacula

Glad you found it, Scrabbs.

8:56 pm

featherbee

oh, i sent that william tell mom in to lickety! scrabbler, both you and my dad sent it to me almost the same day i think.

8:57 pm

Jacula

th5/24 = th + text form of 'you' + German for 'yes'.

8:58 pm

Scrabbler

It is quite entertaining.

8:58 pm

praise2him

that doesn

8:58 pm

praise2him

whoops can I have a little more of a clue?

8:58 pm

Scrabbler

I worked from 8:30 - 8 today and although I need to go to bed, I need some fun time for the day.

8:58 pm

Jacula

Scrabbs - I didn't catch every word she sang in the video, but I guess that's the whole point.

8:58 pm

praise2him

sorry didn't see the second part of your clue jac

8:58 pm

Jacula

Scrabbs - yes, you need to wind down.

8:59 pm

Jacula

Got it now, praise?

8:59 pm

Amyjv

te 7?

9:00 pm

Scrabbler

I just finished off a carton of Edy's Yogurt Blends---delicious frozen yogurt, especially because it is the chocolate fudge brownie flavor.

9:00 pm

Jacula

te7 might be the chap that comes to fix that box in your living room that you watch half the evening.

9:00 pm

praise2him

yeah ty jac

9:00 pm

Amyjv

lol ty

9:00 pm

Jacula

y/w, Amy.

9:00 pm

Scrabbler

Well now, I didn't start and finish the carton in one sitting (although I probably could), but I scraped the bottom.

9:01 pm

Jacula

Naughty Scrabbs! *Cups ear... is that the sound of pounds piling on I hear?' LOL

9:02 pm

Jacula

ONLY KIDDING, Scrabbs. You know my stance on eating issues.

9:04 pm

Amyjv

th 5, 24?

9:04 pm

bogster

he4/6?

9:04 pm

Jacula

Scrabbs - I read about the Mum with brain cancer who's your patient the other day.... how are things there?

9:04 pm

Jacula

Amy - I just clued that.

9:05 pm

Jacula

he4/6 = if you get a little tense you might be all he* up... add a consonant at the end.

9:05 pm

Scrabbler

****stretch** That is the sound of my thighs expanding from eating frozen yogurt, Jacula.

9:06 pm

Jacula

LOL, Scrabbs. Hope they didn't squash Callie.

9:06 pm

Scrabbler

The Mum is my dear friend, and the mother of 3 for whom i am the pediatrician. Mary went home today and will receive brain radiation Monday-Friday for 6 wks, and also receive chemo.

9:06 pm

Jacula

Amy - 8:56 & 57 are the th5/24 clues.

9:07 pm

Scrabbler

Callie is sitting quietly behind me.

9:07 pm

Amyjv

el 5,12

9:07 pm

Jacula

Scrabbs - is there ANY hope for her?

9:09 pm

Jacula

el5/12 = a type of massage oil. Start of pachyderm with a trunk (then a consonant, then 'not you' vowel).

9:09 pm

Amyjv

ty

9:09 pm

Jacula

y/w, Amy.

9:10 pm

Scrabbler

There always is hope, whether from medical science or divine intervention. But, realistically, based on data of similar people with this diagnosis....bad prognosis. Other than a cure, we are hoping for as much happy, comfortable time at home with her family as possible. It is too unbearable to think of saying good-bye to Mary.

9:10 pm

Jacula

Brain radiation sounds awful, seeing as radiation to other parts knocks a body about so much.

9:11 pm

Jacula

Scrabbs - let's hope for a strong will to live and maybe a tad of Divine intervention also. xx

9:12 pm

Scrabbler

It has been nice to see her recover from pregnancy, labor, delivery then brain surgery. But now the real fight begins, and chemo and radiation will take tolls on her.

9:13 pm

Jacula

Scrabbs - I don't know why but I have a good feeling that she will get through all of this.

9:14 pm

Jacula

She's been so strong so far... I don't think she will give up now unless she's totally overcome.

9:14 pm

Scrabbler

I hope you are right. She is a special person with a strong will and expectation to live. Her husband and kids need her. She is a powerful life force.

9:14 pm

Jacula

Fingers crossed.

9:15 pm

Scrabbler

I hope she is one of those people that survive and recover against all odds.

9:16 pm

Jacula

As a lapsed CofE, who got prayers almost pushed down her throat a school every day with no explanation the a child of that age could understand, I would say I don't pray. But, I think I probably do without realising it many days.

9:18 pm

Scrabbler

What is CofE?

9:18 pm

BerniceQ

good evening all. can someone tell me the total points in this grid?

9:19 pm

Jacula

In my mind, praying to the sun. moon, earth, wind, sky etc., to nature, makes more sense. (That's pagan or wicca) and, like i've said before, I did send ex-hubby's pagan grandad to his rest that way, after he was given a Christian funeral and kicked up a fuss about it (in some relatives' homes).

10:09 pm

tygerbryght

10:09 pm

mymuseisme

toothpicks in the eyes, to finish the grid lol

10:09 pm

renfield

and string cheese - uhmmmmmmmmmm

10:09 pm

10:10 pm

Jacula

Hi, Hell on Earth. Was just thinking I hadn't seen you lately.

10:10 pm

shdybr8

dill is a particularly good one

10:10 pm

mymuseisme

I like harvati better when it's melted

10:10 pm

tygerbryght

we're having an extended discussion of it, HK :)

10:10 pm

Jacula

No oeuf parmesan for tyger, then. LOL!

10:11 pm

tygerbryght

I like havarti just about any old way

10:11 pm

tygerbryght

nope, jac. It'd just come right back up

10:11 pm

renfield

harvati melted on dark bread is soooooooo good

10:11 pm

helenkeller

well, the grids have been small lately & i haven't been sticking around alot, but nice to see you all !

10:11 pm

shdybr8

would it ever get down? lol

10:11 pm

Jacula

dill is great with fish.

10:11 pm

renfield

hey helen!

10:11 pm

tygerbryght

when I was in 2nd grade, my teacher insisted I eat a boiled egg. about 5 minutes later, she got it on her shoes

10:11 pm

mymuseisme

oooh, thanks ren gave me something new to try lol

10:12 pm

tygerbryght

I don't care for dill with fish :(

10:12 pm

shdybr8

10:12 pm

helenkeller

fresh dill on buttered potatoes - heaven :)

10:12 pm

renfield

:) muse

10:12 pm

shdybr8

fresh dill in homemade chicken soup

10:12 pm

mymuseisme

lol tyger, I couldn't eat eggs until I was in my 20's, smelled good but couldn't, wouldn't touch it

10:12 pm

tygerbryght

I love grilled chese on dark bread (lotsa butter on the bread, to "brown" it)

10:12 pm

tygerbryght

that sounds better, shady

10:13 pm

Jacula

Hell - the grids have been crappily small and the convo sometimes about those under brridge creatures that should not be ggiven the attention they crave. I've not been here much, either. Though house and garden jobs did also figure in that.

10:13 pm

mymuseisme

fresh dill in carrots is good too

10:13 pm

tygerbryght

I still can't. I tried egg custard when I was 18. It smelled heavenly, and tasted great - but not so good the 2nd time around :( [sigh]

10:13 pm

shdybr8

starting to be a little cool here, so I've been craving soups, made potato-leek the other day, Saturday will be seafood gumbo

10:14 pm

renfield

fresh dill cures hiccups

10:14 pm

tygerbryght

we should get a nice big grid sometime real soon, jac

10:14 pm

tygerbryght

oh, shady, that potato soup sounds wonderful!

10:14 pm

shdybr8

i'm getting used to being disappointed when i see the grid size each day

10:14 pm

NonnieLight

emmmm, both sound wonderful, shdy!

10:14 pm

tygerbryght

I love the veggie cream soups

10:15 pm

tygerbryght

so long as they're over 100, I don't get too upset, but it hardly seems worth trying for one that's less

10:15 pm

NonnieLight

Our weather is turning to "soup days" also. I made chicken with homemade noodles on Sunday.

10:16 pm

Jacula

white fish n the base of the casserole dish, covered with a little dill. Splat a can of chopped tomatoes over that and then add cheddar cheeese (about 2oz) , mixed with 3-4oz white breadcrumbs and salt and white pepper/ Then bake it for about an hour. 40 mins covered and then 20 uncovered.

10:16 pm

shdybr8

potato is easy....saute leeks, garlic, finely-diced celery in butter, boil potatoes on side, when potatoes are "done" strain and add to other pot, cover with heavy cream, salt and pepper to taste, garnish with crisp peppered bacon and chives or scallions

10:16 pm

tygerbryght

we had about 4 days of that kind of weather here near the Gulf, but now we're back to 70F+ days [sigh]

10:17 pm

Jacula

Ren - I though a freezing cold keyu dropped down your back cured the hics.

10:17 pm

shdybr8

oh, and after adding cream, heat slowly until half the potatoes fall apart

10:17 pm
