12:37 am

saanichcat

AND if you are really fast!

12:37 am

Cat9x

would take more than not chatting to help me :)

12:38 am

jesdraggon

well i haven't really been chatting, drb. and i've still only got 45 words.

12:38 am

jesdraggon

so i think it's more that you have an amazing brain.

12:38 am

saanichcat

agreed.

12:39 am

DRBERNABO

12:43 am

jesdraggon

i am obviously outclassed here

12:44 am

dcseain

dart and drb are not fair standards against which to measure one's prowess at this game

12:44 am

jesdraggon

you flatter, lynxx :P

12:45 am

jesdraggon

why not, dc?

12:45 am

dcseain

WTG Dart! :D

12:46 am

dart001

must be the minnesota connection...he's in northern minnesota and i'm in the south

12:46 am

dcseain

not everyone has it in them to type quickly enough, nor does everyone have the brain wiring to pick out the quasi-random rinkages needed to get all the words.

12:46 am

jesdraggon

that doesn't mean it's unfair to compare

12:47 am

dart001

im not a typer...rather mouse

12:47 am

kkiln

sla y

12:47 am

cybernan

1:10 am

1:53 am

jillibus

1:53 am

Ata, sure thing! We know words others (read: non-babblers) never even dream of. I haven't played Scrabble for at least 20 years now and it goes really well!

1:53 am

FranMag

that's what i was thinking too ata, one day i hope it will be a good place to visit.

1:53 am

rolin

lol..ty jilli...ill keep that for future use..

1:53 am

dcseain

scrabble could be fun, i've not played much in some years.

1:54 am

FranMag

good one rolin! i thought of something like that too...really cold and thin air doesn't sound like fun for me.

1:54 am

Atalante

and I've realised I take more pleasure in me or opponent having a *wonderful* word than winning the game

1:54 am

jillibus

I meant I wouldn't like to go there NOW -- but if you check out the links there are other things not too attractive

1:54 am

FranMag

i'll challenge you to a game dc...later. I have 11 games going now.

1:54 am

sprite

I will take rolin's place over concentration camps... and I am with jilli concerning the Afghanistan of NOW.

1:55 am

FranMag

1:55 am

sprite

1:56 am

dcseain

1:56 am

sprite

1:57 am

FranMag

the great thing is the game is saved and you make moves when you can. it's pretty great.

1:57 am

dcseain

oh, cool!

1:57 am

rolin

2:01 am

Atalante

2:01 am

Flask1

Good Morning all........

2:01 am

rolin

oops..sorry

2:01 am

2:02 am

FranMag

2:02 am

FranMag

2:02 am

sprite

jilli, we don't... we just go there, play and have fun... and lament the missed chores later on ;)

2:02 am

Flask1

Fran apologies for disappearing so suddenly last night....my carers arrived early so I had to just switch off......no rudeness was intended....

2:02 am

jillibus

great icon, ata -- and btw, you make great pix for flickr

2:02 am

dcseain

2:03 am

Atalante

2:03 am

FranMag

yikes, i don't have any either lshult!

2:03 am

jillibus

same here ishult!

2:03 am

sprite

Ata is one of the best pic makers I have ever seen.

2:03 am

Atalante

y's? there are y's???!

2:03 am

Atalante

*blush*

2:04 am

Atalante

actually I have a beautiful new picture of Silverclaw to unveil today

2:04 am

FranMag

ooh, the place i lived in Guam is there...Yona

2:04 am

sprite

yo4/6 is a hedgehog's name for me...

2:04 am

sprite

change last vowel of Fran's place for a valid word

2:04 am

Atalante

alas poor yoric, he's not in enable without his k

2:04 am

jillibus

what, sprite?????

2:04 am

dcseain

yi5/16 you were getting up anyway.

2:04 am

sprite

yay Ata! Looking forward to seeing it!

2:05 am

sprite

jilli, what do you mean?

2:06 am

jillibus

I mean I don't have a clue what your hedgehog clue is about, lol!

2:06 am

dcseain

oh, that yo4 makes an adjective for another yo5/16

2:06 am

dcseain

yi5/16 pie is a good clue too for the 1st one.

2:06 am

sprite

LOL jilli, I was afraid of that... it is probably a very weird association in my crazy mind. Take the place Fran mentioned and change last vowel for my hedgehog's name :)

2:07 am

dcseain

that's vaguely familiar, sprite, what story is that from?

2:07 am

dcseain

to me, the adj is closer to a hedgehog name

2:07 am

sprite

wish I knew, dc, it is just linked in my mind... hedgehogs are called this for me :)

2:07 am

dcseain

cool :)

2:08 am

sprite

wait... it might be from Watership Down!

2:08 am

jillibus

I've been trying to change fran's island and it hasn't worked. I think I missed something somewhere *scrolling back*

2:08 am

sprite

it is in the chat indeed, jilli. 2.04 am

2:08 am

Atalante

bablet for a lady's private parts, putting it politely

2:08 am

jillibus

ah, now I see...

2:08 am

dcseain

oh, my. i read that....25 or so years ago. i don't recall any character names, though that is plausible

2:09 am

FranMag

still working on dc's yi5, i found the other two, thanks all

2:09 am

sprite

no, not a char's name, dc... I think it is what rabbits call hedgehogs! Let me check

2:09 am

jillibus

and bingo -- got a Y -- thanks fran and sprite

2:11 am

rolin

i hate it when words dont have a definition...it just means they cant be real words

2:11 am

FranMag

go jilli go

2:11 am

jillibus

hear hear rolin

2:11 am

dcseain

which word, rolin?

2:12 am

jillibus

I'm all the way up to 28 words, lol

2:12 am

rolin

the yi5/16..the first one

2:12 am

dcseain

yep

2:12 am

sprite

rolin, the ? dictionary is rather limited. You can probably find a def on infoplease or another site for multiple dictionaries.

2:13 am

FranMag

sheesh, finally figured out the pie clue...thanks dc!

2:13 am

dcseain

google found no source for it using define: yi5/16

2:13 am

dcseain

:)

2:13 am

sprite

dc, I cannot find the book right now, but I am pretty sure that is where I have the idea from. It is the Rabbit name for the animal.

2:13 am

sprite

if I have found the yi5, I will see if I can find a def, LOLLL

2:14 am

Atalante

google is your friend :P he was a hedgehog

2:14 am

FranMag

dc's clues were good, i just had to kick my brain into rhyming gear.

2:14 am

sprite

LOL Ata

2:15 am

rolin

i googled it sprtie..and all it said is that its a valid word..and can be found in the merriman dictionary...but you have to subscribe to use it online

2:15 am

FranMag

ata, did you see my sad move in scrabble?

2:15 am

dcseain

i'll ask a friend w/OED access to look it up.

2:15 am

Atalante

Yona, a hedgehog who gossips a lot, gets El-ahrairah into trouble and helps him trick Prince Rainbow. The word also means "hedgehog" in general in the Lapine language.

2:15 am

Atalante

you were right too!

2:15 am

dcseain

oh, cool, ty ata

2:15 am

Atalante

*runs to look*

2:16 am

dcseain

may i get a 2nd letter for middle, solo, O if anyone has it?

2:16 am

rolin

ooooookay...im better shake my bootie outa here and get to work..ill probably be seeing you all this afternoon tho..bye all...

the Js were easy :)

2:22 am

FranMag

dee, is she okay?

2:22 am

hydra

How do you get onto the site, sprite? I got onto Facebook and typed in Babblers Worldwide Group and nothing came up.

2:22 am

sprite

omg Dee, how is she?

2:22 am

dcseain

2:22 am

herinfernallady

2:22 am

VolleymomDee

2:22 am

VolleymomDee

2:23 am

FranMag

Hope she'll be better soon, Dee. The poor girl!

2:23 am

VolleymomDee

2:23 am

herinfernallady

sh?t and f?ck that is not good

2:23 am

VolleymomDee

yes

2:23 am

sprite

hydra, at the left under applications, there is Groups. If you click that, at the top of the page there is a box Search for Groups. If you enter babblers worldwide there, it works fine

2:23 am

herinfernallady

Let me guess her car is not insured and written off?

2:23 am

hydra

Do you have to join facebook first?

2:24 am

VolleymomDee

I am so thankful no one else was involved and that she wasn't furt worse; not sure but car may be totaled

2:24 am

Atalante

but it might not if you're not logged in, not sure. facebook is funny like that

2:24 am

sprite

I am so sorry, Dee. Will think of her and pray for her... sounds like she can use some loving and healing vibes!

2:24 am

VolleymomDee

car IS insured thank goodness; not paid off yet; large deductible

2:24 am

VolleymomDee

absolutely sprite!!!

2:24 am

sprite

oh... yes, that is quite possible, hydra, that the groups only are visible to people who have joined.

2:25 am

VolleymomDee

hubby drove 4 hours tonight to get her from hospital, get her home, stay tomorrow to get rental... he sounded so tired and weary over phone

2:25 am

hydra

That will explain it, Ata. I am not a member and just get a box that allows me to search, but groups don't come up, though I can find my daughter!

2:25 am

hydra

Daughter's facebook name is wildfirex666, which says a lot about her!

2:25 am

FranMag

dee, my good thoughts and prayers go out to her.

2:25 am

Atalante

sprite

lol Dee... see, I always make good on my promises!

2:32 am

2:32 am

Atalante

or5 - big nasty Tolkien creatures + not out

2:32 am

sprite

jilli: or + where you to to see the movies (1st 3 letters) + when I am **d and wise.
Plural for the 8, drop a few for the 5.

2:34 am

VolleymomDee

or 7 turns into or 8

2:34 am

jillibus

and ty sprite!

2:34 am

dcseain

no, the other two are easier. Well, the Irish may be ugly, depending on how well you know Irish toasts.

2:34 am

FranMag

is it anything like french toast?

2:34 am

dcseain

sl7 is irish; mi7 is a plural

2:35 am

jillibus

groan, fran

2:35 am

FranMag

:-)

2:36 am

sprite

hey, Irish are never ugly!

2:36 am

VolleymomDee

so 7's are: sl 7, or 7, and mi 7?

2:36 am

hydra

As soon as you said sl7 was Irish, I knew what it was, dc. Doesn't it mean 'cheers!'?

2:36 am

Atalante

apart from when in 20 stone wedding dresses

2:37 am

dcseain

yes, hydra, it does :)

2:37 am

jillibus

I need one more tile with an entry so I can go to bed --the N in the top row -- anybody have it?

2:37 am

dcseain

i beg to differ, sprite

2:37 am

sprite

that is not related to being Irish, Ata... that is plain madness :)

2:37 am

Atalante

greek temple babblets, jilli

2:37 am

FranMag

found the sl7, thanks to dc and google

2:37 am

sprite

actually, dc, I am of the opinion there are no ugly people!

2:38 am

VolleymomDee

still looking for mi 7 tho

2:38 am

FranMag

thanks ata! haven't seen those for a while

2:38 am

jillibus

of course, ata *dodging tuna*

2:38 am

dcseain

you've never been to Southie, formally South Boston, though i agree with you in principle, sprite.

2:38 am

hydra

I'm dumb today. Just seen your post about toasts, dc and thought you meant the bread type. Think I'll go get some of that.

2:39 am

VolleymomDee

can anyone steer me toward the mi 7?

2:39 am

sprite

well, I am with you in so far that people can act incredibly ugly, dc...

2:39 am

dcseain

mi6, will lead you to mi7. (don't tell the British)

2:39 am

sprite

lol hydra, you are never dumb

2:39 am

dcseain

herinfernallady

2:41 am

hydra

My first name is in the grid today!

2:42 am

ok thanks DC....

3:12 am

VolleymomDee

I especially love LothlÃ³rien

3:13 am

Atalante

oh that moment was amazing, Dee. it was about 6am and the sun had just risen, I was all alone down by the river

3:13 am

Atalante

I think most vets will compromise - saves them hassle down the road with litters!

3:14 am

dcseain

flak, is your icon icon a pun?

3:23 am

I appreciate your humility, but you have to have special "eyes" to see and capture those places and times. I truly wish you the best and most abundant blessings!

3:26 am

mattmatt

3:26 am

herinfernallady

3:26 am

caitlyn

We have just adopted a puppy and she will be neutered for free

3:27 am

Atalante

3:34 am

herinfernallady

The lady that 'interviewed' me was lovely. Now i dont have to pay off my parents i can afford it

3:35 am

Atalante

its much easier not to have men around. then you spend the whole time wondering what they are thinking of all your wobbly bits

3:35 am

herinfernallady

Most of the time i go i dont give a toss about the blokes i just do my thing

3:36 am

herinfernallady

Bet yes it is nice. The machines are new

3:40 am

Mitchell

I wish we could have a grid with some good long words - haven't had any really long ones in ages

4:25 am

jwr

hello all you loverly folk. just popped in to note that my dentist says "onlay" IS a legit word (she's a great dentist with the softsweet caribbean accent that can lull better than most anesthetics, and a head of deep orange hair that adds a foot to her height). And I would vote for "trojan" as a common adj too. Is there a place to suggest new words for inclusion?

4:25 am

Becca Lorum

ok - time's up for me. bbl. bye all

4:25 am

Lizsark

I'm going to have to use the list - haven't had to do that in ages :(

argh, i be hungry, first mate, go get me some rum

4:38 am

Karys

hello again....just back from marinading chicken, but it hasn't given me any inspiration for the last 39 words I'm afraid, so as an inspirational remedy I can state, it doesn't work !!!

4:39 am

Haz1558

Oh dear, am I going to have to talk like a pirate as well? I'm not very good at it.

4:39 am

dcseain

wb, karys

4:39 am

Jacula

Good Lord! My cat just said exactly what bfsog did. I'd better feed him (the cat) and not on rum. BBS.

4:39 am

Haz1558

Hello Karys.

Haz1558

See you later Jacula.

4:39 am

haz: im glad someone noticed my pirate-esque dialogue

4:40 am

Haz1558

Oh, I did indeed.

4:40 am

Haz1558

I take it the Marie Celeste reference set you off?

4:41 am

Karys

Haz...just had an email from my daughter I would love to share with you, I found it really funny !

4:41 am

dcseain

heh

4:41 am

4:41 am

Not the iphone?

yay!

I'm sorry, it's all photo's so I would have to send it on

Bear with me both !!

4:43 am

Haz1558

I'm with you, Karys, the prospect of getting one of those would not be a happy one.

4:46 am

Jacula

It's hard to find a mobile 'phone that is simple these days; most do a song, a dance and make tea! In fact, it's hard to find anything that simply does what it's meant to these days. We needed a new kettle not long ago and there were 19 pages of the things in the Argos catalogue: ones that whistled, ones that changed colour, oh, all sorts. Took a while to find one that simply boiled water.

4:47 am

bfsog

use a pot and a cooker ring!

4:47 am

Haz1558

I went to buy a printer and came away with a scanner, printer and photocopier, so I know what you mean.

4:47 am

dcseain

IT whistles, changes colours, boils water, brews tea, and pours it in your cup while waltzing across the table!!!

4:48 am

Jacula

Haz - I have one of those, but they are v. handy - there's even a slot for your camera chip and a memory stick. The newer ones incorporate fax facilities, too.

4:48 am

Karys

won't accept you email address Haz

4:49 am

Haz1558

It's my full name, look in the profile for it, Karys, rather than haz1558.

4:50 am

Haz1558

It has been useful already, Jacula, daughter uses it for her school work preparation etc.

4:52 am

Jacula

Haz - If it's one of the HP Photosmart family be sure NOT to pull jammed paper from the front but only from the removable slot at the back. We had to buy a new HP after only 6 weeks after son/daughter/ex-hub (they're not admitting which) did that. Repairs would have cos about Â£80.

4:52 am

Haz1558

It IS one of the HP family, and since daughter is heavy-handed (she thinks kicking things is a good way to get them working again) I'll be sure to warn her.

4:53 am

Jacula

Please do, Haz!

4:53 am

Haz1558

Come to think of it, heavy-handed and kicking doesn't really make sense, does it?

4:54 am

Haz1558

She seems to store up all her frustrations with children to take them out on technology at home.

4:54 am

Jacula

Haz - I just thought she did both. LOL. (Hitting the telly used to work with the old valve sets.) Never kick a cooker whilst wearing slippers. I made that mistake once. It HURT.

4:54 am

dcseain

rebooting does rather make more sense than kicking/poinding

4:54 am

Karys

back in a bit..got to charge the new phone, youngest still here at the moment to put me right etc !!!

4:55 am

herinfernallady

Good night i was in the grid

4:55 am

Haz1558

See you later, Karys. Charging the phone shouldn't be too bad.

4:55 am

herinfernallady

Karys make sure that the phone is off and charged for the recomended time (usually 16) to fully charge the dratted thing as they dont like half arse charging

4:55 am

Jacula

'Night, Herin.

4:55 am

Haz1558

I'll bear the no kicking the cooker thing in mind, Jacula.

4:56 am

dcseain

later, karys

4:56 am

dcseain

you're in the grid, lady?

4:56 am

herinfernallady

I was trying to find words that and gym membership prices for comparison

4:57 am

Jacula

*Now imagines Haz donning steel-capped boots to kick various household appliances.* :D

4:57 am

herinfernallady

Dont do that either it dints the fridge

4:58 am

Haz1558

Either that, or padding of said appliances.

4:58 am

Haz1558

No, I'm more likely to take the dog for a walk. She doesn't answer back.

4:59 am

Jacula

Oh, I'm being miaowed at. Cat wants to go out. BBS.

4:59 am

herinfernallady

I got real mad one day and kicked the fridge WITH steel cap boots, put the door out of shape

4:59 am

dcseain

as long as you didn't put a hole in it.

5:00 am

herinfernallady

No it was a real old and sturdy thing

5:02 am

Karys

Right, back again, yes herin, going to be good and not cut corners on the charging time.

5:02 am

dcseain

good, that

5:02 am

dcseain

wb, krays, that was very cute.

5:02 am

herinfernallady

Same could not be said for my bruised toe when i kicked a 'plaster board' wall with my trainers on (the wall was concrete)

5:03 am

herinfernallady

Karys a girl i know bought her new fone and its stuffed already as she didnt charge it the full time

5:03 am

Karys

Just going to drink my coffee then I have to do packed lunch for youngest.

5:03 am

movieman

7s and 8 clues pretty plz......

5:03 am

Karys

Made me laugh dc, I have 3 sons
!!

5:04 am

Haz1558

Karys, they're priceless, especially the last one!

5:04 am

Karys

Yes herin, daughter's boyfriend did the same, even after she had told him !!

5:04 am

herinfernallady

I still pack my lunch when i go to work (WHEN :)

5:04 am

Haz1558

I can't oblige, movieman, sorry.

5:05 am

Karys

Thought you would appreciate it Haz !

5:05 am

Haz1558

I can look at my daughters in new light now.

5:05 am

herinfernallady

Karys he can fix that. Flatten the phone till the point were it wont turn on at all then recharge the full 16 hours

5:05 am

Jacula

Haz - can you forward Karys's mail on to me?

5:06 am

Karys

I will Jac if you like

5:06 am

Haz1558

Yes, I'll do my best. If you hear me kicking something, you'll know what has happened...

5:06 am

Karys

thank you herin

5:06 am

lynxxx

hello - again

5:06 am

Karys

hi lynxxx

5:06 am

herinfernallady

NIght all and hi lynxx

5:06 am

dcseain

hello, lynxxx

5:07 am

dcseain

g'night lady, sleep well

5:07 am

Jacula

I just took a photo of 3 of of guinea pigs all sitting in a furry pile. Not sure if it will show up through mesh but they moved when I opened the hutch door. I'll put the pic in flickr if it turns out.

5:07 am

Jacula

Thanks, Haz.

5:07 am

Karys

dc, can you clue the m6 & 7 for movieman please ?

5:07 am

Jacula

Incidentally, I've got some pics in there from the wedding I went to on Saturday.

5:07 am

Karys

Nite herin

5:08 am

dcseain

mi6/27 is a gathering of at least 10 jewish men for prayer, mi7/40 is the plural.

5:09 am

lynxxx

of course! TY DC

5:09 am

Karys

thank you...I thought you had said something like that

5:09 am

Haz1558

Isn't technology great? I think I've done it okay.

5:09 am

dcseain

or5/7/8 start with a whale, and are all related chemical terms; the 8 is plural.

5:09 am

Karys

it's a word I hadn't come across before

5:09 am

dcseain

it sometimes has a different vowel in the 2nd syllable than what it has in today's grid.

5:10 am

Karys

Haz...a little thrill of pleasure !

5:10 am

Jacula

Thanks, Haz. I'll go and check.

5:10 am

dcseain

technology is rather amazing, we very much live in the future.

5:10 am

Haz1558

Yes, but you know it won't last. Just set me to texting and see me crumble.

5:11 am

Karys

I had only heard in the context of someone's attendants

5:11 am

dcseain

texting takes some getting used to. I had the cabability on my mobile for nearly 2 years before i really used it.

5:11 am

Karys

then it has a different spelling

5:12 am

Karys

My secret to texting is to count the letters as I go along

5:12 am

Haz1558

It doesn't help when you see daughters going at a furious rate while texting. I'm one letter at a time, punctuation and everything. And the letters are so small!

5:12 am

dcseain

mi6 can differ in the last vowel, yes, and is spelled quite differently from the servents/attendents word in English.

5:13 am

Karys

I have to have the punctuation too, I'm a bit precise, but I think I am getting a little looser !

5:14 am

dcseain

i've gotten looser about both spelling and puntuation - though i still like my commas - in texting

5:14 am

Haz1558

Do you use any of the wee pictures?

5:15 am

dcseain

emoticons? yes :)

5:15 am

Karys

very rarely....I find them a little too 'wee' !

5:15 am

FMitch

LOL I'm a txt virgin, can't even turn off predictive txt!
... and Good morning :)

5:15 am

Haz1558

I suppose I could always read the manual.

5:16 am

Karys

I am as bad with texting as I am here with my .......'s I afraid.

5:16 am

Haz1558

Good morning FMitch. How are you today?

5:16 am

lynxxx

goodmorning FM !

5:16 am

dcseain

morning, FMitch! i like predictive text, myself

5:16 am

Karys

Hello there Mitch...how are you ?

5:16 am

Jacula

Hello, FM.

5:16 am

Eva

good morning everyone

5:16 am

Karys

I hate predictive text !

5:16 am

Haz1558

Good morning Eva.

5:16 am

KristineNas

GM e1

5:16 am

FMitch

Hello hello, fine thanks on this chilly day. Had to pop in for 5 mins but can't stay long.

5:17 am

lynxxx

hello Eva

5:17 am

dcseain

yeah, it's a like it or hate it thing it seems. i know no one who is neutral onit.

5:17 am

dcseain

morning, eva!

5:17 am

Eva

what is predictive text? Have never text messaged in my life.

5:17 am

Jacula

Haz - It worked. LOL. Thanks for sharing the fun, Karys. BTW, the lad looking at the lady's chest - they never grow out of that!

5:17 am

Karys

I have an email to forward to you Mitch, will do it now

5:17 am

jwr

Asked earlier but I guess there was no one to answer. Is there a way to get the Grid Genie to allow more words? Im getting the feeling this grid is in a new language: I'm certain of ONLAY, and pretty sure TROJAN is a common adj, and if samurai is acceptable, why not RONIN? feel a little frustrated with the permitted "extra" instead of the .....ordinary.

5:17 am

lizmac

soz, CUl8tr!!!!!

5:18 am

FMitch

Same here Eva. Predictive, takes what you type in and anticipates what word you mean - can be very funny.

5:18 am

Jacula

I hate predictive text! It never predicts correctly. I keep it turned off.

5:18 am

lizmac

I HATE text gobbledegook!

5:18 am

lizmac

BBL

5:19 am

FMitch

Hi jwr Dr_G uses the Enable dictionary as the DB for Babble and it is a little out of date so not a lot we can do Im afraid.

5:19 am

Haz1558

jwr - you sound like you're ready to kick something. You could always try e-mailing Dr_God to express your fury.

5:19 am

dcseain

YMMV, liz. (your mileage may vary)

5:19 am

dcseain

YMMV, liz. (your mileage may vary)

5:19 am

Karys

It never predicts what I want !

5:19 am

lynxxx

Hi jwr - no there isn't. Part of Babbles charm is to guess what words it will accept! Apparently the dictionary it uses has not been updated for a few years

5:19 am

dcseain

down arrow to get other words those keys can spell.

5:20 am

Jacula

The first time Paul sent me a text with 'cul8r' in it I had no idea what he meant!

5:20 am

Karys

But by the time I've done all that, dc, I can do it myself

5:21 am

dcseain

and if it makes you feel any better, jwr, lickety, who does likcety's babble clues, uses the latest enable, and he never comes out more than 6 words ahead. Enable is not the most complet dictionary.

5:21 am

Jacula

Karys - I'm with you on that. Oh, and I punctuate texts, too.:)

5:22 am

Karys

Isn't it nice to know that we are not on our own Jac !

5:22 am

Jacula

It is, Karys.:-)

5:22 am

dcseain

enable is...quirky

5:22 am

Haz1558

I've concluded that this is one of those grids that leads you up blind alleys. You think you're on your way to a good word, then, bang. A brick wall.

5:22 am

FMitch

LOL @ email Karys

5:23 am

Karys

I was so surprised that the choo choo wasn't there !

5:23 am

Jacula

Full-face helmet needed then, Haz!

5:23 am

Karys

Glad you liked it Mitch :)

5:23 am

Haz1558

I know, my nose is going to look like a boxer's at this rate.

5:24 am

jwr

Thnx for the responses. That was all I needed to stop me from as Haz said kicking the furniture, which would be a very bad thing to do since I it's someone else's gorgeous victoriana -- I live in what will become a guest house. Anyway knowing I can't do anything about it is second best to having a solution and waaaay better than not knowing. You're such a neat bunch.

5:24 am

Haz1558

Well, thank goodness we've spared furniture from abuse!

5:25 am

Karys

It's a good job we are not penalized for constantly reentering words that aren't there !

5:25 am

dcseain

indeed so, karys!

5:25 am

Jacula

Like - ronion and onion, Karys? Yes.

5:25 am

FMitch

laughing fences replaced by brick walls, babble can be a harsh place sometimes.

jwr, I lov your descriptive writing of your dentist in yr original posting.

5:25 am

Haz1558

I know it's frustrating, but what always comforts me is that everyone else is in the same boat, and NOT getting any points from a perfectly good word.

5:25 am

Karys

You've been down that road too then Jac ?

5:25 am

jwr

Right Haz. But the pets are cringing in the corner...

5:26 am

Jacula

Yup, Karys.

5:26 am

Haz1558

Oh, spare the puppy!

5:26 am

Haz1558

Don't hurt the cat!

5:26 am

Jacula

16 left to find. Think I'll take a break.

5:27 am

Karys

right, have to pop and do said packed lunch, bbl

5:27 am

Haz1558

See you later, Jacula - and Karys.

5:27 am

dcseain

hasta, jacula and karys

5:27 am

Haz1558

You know things are bad when you're looking for h to make crwth.

5:28 am

dcseain

i wanted the m and s for cwms

5:28 am

FMitch

Bye Jacs and Karys

5:28 am

Jacula

There's a black bird and some ro5/14 headwear, Haz.

5:28 am

FMitch

dc, have you been scribing recently?

5:29 am

Jacula

See you later. (cul8r). Byeee.

5:29 am

lynxxx

bye Jac

5:29 am

dcseain

i've begun drafting for another aronud, FMitch, so soon i shall.

5:29 am

jwr

oh, such mundane ideas of what contitutes a pet! These are imaginary (because of the furniture) For FMitch, there's a picture you can judge for yrself at terecitadean dot etc.

5:29 am

Haz1558

Got the bird and the headgear (bowing in the general direction of Buckingham Palace)

5:30 am

dcseain

at least if i can spell :)

5:30 am

Haz1558

Oh, imaginary pets? This furniture must be something else.

5:30 am

lynxxx

also an Italian farewell

5:31 am

FMitch

lol dc, will look forward to that.

5:32 am

FMitch

Wow you weren't wrong about the hair jwr, I'd be mesmerised whist she drilled.

5:33 am

dcseain

haz, have you the collection if tiny thingns - there are three, including 2 6/24s.

5:34 am

jwr

Solid walnut for the most part, polished hardwood floors, rich carpeting, antique fixtures and bricabrac -- learning to take care of it & yearning for a puptent in the yard. With a pup, o'course. The grid may not be kind -- certainly not tonight -- but you all are. Giving up so I can get up at a reasonable hour.

5:35 am

Haz1558

It sounds very grand, jwr and I'm sure they'll appreciate you taking good care of it. Sleep well!

5:35 am

dcseain

g'night then, jwr, we will see you another time. Pleasant dreams!

5:35 am

lynxxx

nite jwr

5:36 am

Haz1558

Good grief, it takes Gaelic for 'cheers'

5:36 am

FMitch

Bye jwr.

Should I too be sensible and depart this happy land...?

5:37 am

Haz1558

No, hang being sensbile and stick around.

5:37 am

jwr

Ta, Haz, fmitch et al. Leaving with 20 to go but too much full of new obscurities. As someone says, most appropriately ... and I hope I may flatter by appropriating: *poof*

5:37 am

Haz1558

Bye!

5:37 am

jwr

byeeeeee...

5:39 am

FMitch

LOL Haz OK, till 12 and then I too shall *poof* and turn into the vegetable soup making, washing up and essay finishing multi tasking whirlwind. Phew got tired just saying all of that!

5:40 am

Haz1558

You've grown an extra arm, then?

5:41 am

FMitch

Necesity sped up the evolutionary process

5:41 am

Haz1558

And how are you finding the clothes buying?

5:42 am

FMitch

Ah, the purchase of new aparel (sp) has declined as a surfeit has been reached for now and the bank balance needs to be given a chance.

5:43 am

Haz1558

I meant with the extra arm!

5:43 am

FMitch

I think my New Year resolution is going to be 'improve my spelling'

ROFL oh dear.

5:44 am

Haz1558

Well, I can usually follow your thought patterns, at least.

5:44 am

Haz1558

To change the subject, did you watch 'My Boy Jack' on Sunday evening?

5:45 am

FMitch

Thank goodness for that dear heart!

No I missed it, was it as good as it looked it was going to be?

5:45 am

Atalante

hi :)

5:45 am

FMitch

Hi Ata, good walk?

5:46 am

Atalante

cold adn wet!

5:46 am

Haz1558

It was. But my curiousity was stirred by a lesser character ' Corporal O'Leary' - perhaps because he had an Ulster accent. When I tried to find him, via internet, I came across a VC winner, Lance-Corporal O'Leary and am now wondering if they've merged the two characters.

5:46 am

FMitch

Urgh you have rain?

5:47 am

Haz1558

Hello Atalante!

5:47 am

Atalante

drizzle and cloud adn wind

5:48 am

Atalante

but the beach was still nice!

5:48 am

FMitch

How interesting Haz, I also managed to miss the Poliakoff that was on last night too

5:48 am

Haz1558

You'll find it all worthwhile when you get the Degree of Glory.

5:49 am

FMitch

Beach and November, just dog walkers this time of year I would guess?

5:49 am

Atalante

I'm really cross, I watched the first half of the Poliakoff programme about a library of photos - Shooting the Past - and managed to miss the last part :(

5:49 am

Atalante

ohhhh yes, only mad walkers at that

5:50 am

Haz1558

Do mad walkers have a gleam in their eye and a determined step?

5:50 am

FMitch

I have to stand up and admit that I watched some of the new Im a Celebrity lat night.

5:50 am

Atalante

most definitely

5:50 am

Atalante

and they only have Large Dogs. no foofy dogs on the beach in november

5:50 am

Haz1558

Did you know any of them?

5:51 am

Haz1558

So, mad people with large dogs. And you wonder why the beach is otherwise deserted.

5:51 am

Karys

Back again

5:51 am

Atalante

lol yes. and there were Very Big Dogs today. 2 HUGE Belgian Shepherds

5:51 am

Haz1558

Welcome back, Karys. Phone charging, as per instructions?

5:52 am

Haz1558

Did Hobbit feel intimidated?

5:52 am

FMitch

Had they lost their sheep?

5:52 am

Karys

I watched ' My Boy Jack'...can't take Poliakoff, and at the moment love Strictly !!

5:52 am

o-o

I think numbers are influenced by the aversities of w's

5:53 am

Karys

Phone charging beautifully Haz, it's a very nice looking thing, it's purple !

5:53 am

Atalante

Hobbit just ignored them as they barked like crazy at her! She's a gooood girl

5:53 am

FMitch

Hello BabbleRabble

5:53 am

Haz1558

Oh, purple - it would match Hobbit's best collar.

5:53 am

o-o

hello, peoples

5:54 am

Karys

Just for Sunday's and special occasions Haz ?

5:54 am

Atalante

Hobbit is very proud of her purple collar

5:54 am

Karys

5:54 am

Haz1558

Hello Babble!

5:54 am

lynxxx

Hi Babrab

5:54 am

Jack Wang

5:55 am

lynxxx

hello Jack

5:55 am

Jack Wang

5:55 am

Atalante

Hobbit's was sent to her specially from the US!

5:55 am

Karys

Well !!...Ata, what can one say !

5:55 am

FMitch

I bet she has a glitter one stashed away for those Baileys moments

5:56 am

Haz1558

Nobody loves Spangle enough to send her anything from the States.

5:56 am

Atalante

LOL :D I've found a distinct lack of purple collars in this country

5:56 am

lynxxx

good thanks jack - 1st time here?

5:56 am

FMitch

I sent her a pic of a bone but it's not the same is it?

5:56 am

Karys

I am going to New York shortly, would you like one bringing back for Spangle Haz ?

5:56 am

Jack Wang

yeah howd u guess

5:56 am

Jack Wang

5:56 am

Jack Wang

5:57 am

Haz1558

Not quite the same.

5:57 am

Atalante

the pic of the bone is sitting proud above her food bowl!

5:57 am

Haz1558

Oh, Karys, you're very kind! Setting off on your travels again?

5:57 am

Karys

Well, how about if I sent it whilst I was there, would that count do you think ?

5:57 am

FMitch

3mins before poof time * le sigh*

5:58 am

FMitch

Karys that last comment was for me

5:58 am

Haz1558

I just don't know if purple would be Spangle's colour....

5:58 am

FMitch

Gold Lame would work for Spangle

5:59 am

Karys

Feel good, taking my girls to New York for their Christmas presents ( not normally so extravagant !!)

5:59 am

Jack Wang

lynxxx you little minxxxx i asked you a question

5:59 am

Atalante

Irish tartan

5:59 am

Haz1558

What a Christmas present!

5:59 am

FMitch

Would you adopt me for a week or so Karys, never been to NY.

5:59 am

Karys

Spangle needs 'spangles'

6:00 am

Haz1558

Maybe spangles for Christmas Day?

6:00 am

lynxxx

sorry Jack, concentrating on last few words

6:00 am

Atalante

Haz could sew sequins to an ordinary collar!

6:00 am

Haz1558

Do you want me carried off to the Home for the Bewildered?

6:01 am

Karys

Haz..Haz.. SEW... what are you thinking of Ata !!!

6:01 am

Atalante

you're not already there?

6:01 am

Atalante

I suppose you could glue them on

6:01 am

Haz1558

No, I've managed to hide under the window every time the men in white coats have called.

6:01 am

Jack Wang

anyone here from bourne, england?

6:02 am

FMitch

Passes Haz, put of glue, you'll be OK with that. Just make sure it's all dry before you put the new collar on Spangle.

6:02 am

FMitch

*pot

6:02 am

Atalante

Where's Bourne?

6:02 am

hydra

Lincs, I think

6:02 am

Haz1558

Well, I suppose I do have a hot glue gun.

6:03 am

Haz1558

And there's a reason why it's advertised as 'hot glue'.

6:03 am

hydra

Just popped back in

6:03 am

Karys

Now there's a thought Mitch....how about beaded collars for dogs ?

6:03 am

Haz1558

Hello hydra.

6:03 am

Karys

hello Hydra

6:03 am

FMitch

Why have you such a dangerous thing?

LOL Karys!

6:03 am

Jack Wang

BOURNE?????

6:04 am

hydra

I get a warm fuzzy feeling looking at your and Karys' icons, Haz

6:04 am

Karys

aaahh...it's nice to feel useful hydra

6:04 am

Haz1558

That's nice to know, hydra.

6:04 am

Atalante

thats a great idea, Karys!

6:05 am

hydra

Where is it then, Jack? I thought Bourne was in Lincolnshire! Educate me.

6:05 am

Atalante

obviously not in LIncs LOL

6:05 am

FMitch

Evil thought, make a collar out of dog biscuits and treats, drive dog nuts.

6:06 am

rosalind230

Its in linconshire

6:06 am

hydra

I've just googled it. it IS in Lincs! Unless there are two Bournes.

6:06 am

Haz1558

Husband sometimes tucks a rawhide bone into Spangle's collar. He is evil sometimes.

6:07 am

FMitch

LOL always liked Mr Haz

6:08 am

Haz1558

He's usually very kind, but likes to get Spangle into a frenzy of excitement sometimes.

6:09 am

Haz1558

Races up and down the hall, that kind of thing. Chasing her and pretending he wants her bone. Hiding behind settees and grabbing her leg as she goes past.

And hello bichon.

6:10 am

FMitch

I see you didn't remind me when midday came and went. My time to poof is nigh.

*Poof*

6:10 am

Scrabbler

Me too, Hazel. That's why I am a pediatrician--I sit on the floor and get silly with the kids.

6:10 am

lynxxx

OK bye everyone..have a great day

6:11 am

Atalante

with spaniels, you can also tie gravy bones to the bottom of their ears using their feathers

6:11 am

Haz1558

I wondered when you were going to realise the time, FMitch - bye for now!

6:11 am

Scrabbler

Bye Lynxxx, hi Bichon

6:11 am

hydra

1 word left, the yi. Can't see it anywhere.

6:11 am

Karys

bye Mitch

6:11 am

Scrabbler

Haha, Ate.

6:11 am

bichon

Scrabbler, the picture is of my new little grandaughter. Do you like the newborns or the silly kids?

6:11 am

FMitch

Byeeeee See you later

6:12 am

hydra

Byee Mitch. I'm off, too. *poof*

6:12 am

Atalante

bye dear!

6:12 am

Scrabbler

I LOVE newborns--so miraculously perfect. I often still tear up when examining a newborn. My favorite age group is about 3-6 yrs--hilarious.

6:13 am

Scrabbler

What is the baby's name and birthdate?

6:13 am

Haz1558

I should go too. I'll be back later with a crowbar for the grid.

6:13 am

Scrabbler

Are we scaring off the UK crowd?

6:13 am

Karys

Yes.,. I best go and do 'something'...bye Haz and all

6:14 am

bichon

I went with daughter to the baby's first pediatrician visit. The doc seemed so happy examining her. Is it all fun like that?

6:14 am

Atalante

baby talk is always scary :P

6:15 am

FMitch

Ata - can you go onto IM for 2 mins, have a quick question pleease

6:15 am

o-o

A baby is God's opinion that life should go on. Carl Sandburg.

6:15 am

Scrabbler

The kids are all fun, except for many adolescents and all uncivilized kids. I like most of the parents although some are quite difficult.

6:15 am

Scrabbler

Why, Ata?

6:15 am

Scrabbler

I like that quote, BR!

6:15 am

Atalante

babies! ew! scary! they poo! LOL

6:15 am

bichon

Ok forgot about the teeners. Scratch pediatrician off my life goal

6:16 am

bichon

I work at a university and even the older teensw can be offsetting

6:16 am

Scrabbler

Ata, I have no kids myself, and never will, just bunnies, but I still love kids. I never wanted to be a parent.

6:17 am

Atalante

I'm trying FM!

6:17 am

Atalante

I think I'm babyphobic. Is that possible?

6:17 am

Scrabbler

I want to smack most teens. Yesterday though I saw 4 exceptional ones and I told them that. Some parents get it right and do the hard work to create great kids.

6:17 am

bichon

Being a parent can be very challenging, but grandparenthood it the sweetest

6:18 am

Scrabbler

Sure, Ata--babies are helpless, dependent creatures requiring total care and they cannot communicate other than crying.

6:18 am

Scrabbler

I have enjoyed being an aunt to my 3 nephews.

6:19 am

Atalante

I have never held a baby, actually I don't even think I'd have a clue how to hold one LOL

6:19 am

KristineNas

~!~!FIREWORKS!~!~

6:19 am

Scrabbler

Yahooo, Kris!

6:19 am

Scrabbler

Ata, then you need to become desensitized by handling one.

6:20 am

bichon

Off to work. Later to all

6:20 am

Scrabbler

Bye, Bichon.

6:20 am

Eva

I know it's bizarre, but I have a real soft spot for adolescents (as long as they're not living in my house). I find them funny, and courageous even in their often outrageous ways of trying to find their own way in the world. I worked with teenagers for much of my professional life.

6:20 am

KristineNas

TY Scrab

6:20 am

Atalante

ew no, it might poo LOL or jump out my arms and fall on the floor or something

6:22 am

o-o

not just babies, people poo; pets poo; it is a poos world

6:22 am

Atalante

the joys of having a small family with no cousins etc!

6:22 am

Scrabbler

Good for you, Eva. With teens one must find something they like or are good at and talk about that. I like many teens, but some are so darn rude---really they are just toddlers all over again.

6:23 am

Atalante

I do like children though when they are old enough that you can reason with them

6:24 am

Scrabbler

I must get ready for work. I shall return later this afternoon. Enjoy the day.

6:24 am

Eva

In a group they are often rude, but individually a lot of that drops, and they are so unused to anyone really treating them with respect and interest that when you do, surprising things can happen.

6:25 am

Atalante

I agree Eva

6:27 am

Eva

this grid is impossible! Much more frustrating than adolescents!

6:30 am

Uniquity

I love young children (2-6, with two year olds being my ab. fave) but even as a teenager myself I have never enjoyed or appreciated people of my own age. Anyone within ten years of me tends to drive me up the wall.

6:32 am

6:41 am

Uneaixoise

hey, BR . . . yeah, kinda stumbled onto "Rock of Ages"

6:42 am

Uneaixoise

googled the Jewish quorum--tx, BR!

6:44 am

phandmd

can anyone help with the ORs?

6:44 am

o-o

or5 -- add a movie house: ***ema

6:44 am

Atalante

6:46 am

phandmd

Yeah Jacula!

6:47 am

Atalante

ty Jac! yay!

6:47 am

Merk

Good morning!

6:47 am

Merk

Was it a hard grid Jacula? I've only just gotten here, but nothing is popping out at me.

6:48 am

Jacula

Thanks. Have to go again now. Might be back to clue later. In the meantime, don't drink too much ri5/20.

6:48 am

Jacula

Medium hard, Merk. I enjoyed it and I didn't have to use the list, though was tempted at 11 to go.

6:49 am

Atalante

thats allowed? wow

6:49 am

Jacula

TTFN.

6:49 am

o-o

The grid has its challenges, but don't they all.... I just do it

6:50 am

Merk

ty

6:50 am

Jacula

Ata - Yes. So's the Gaelic for 'Cheers!' (sl7/28).

6:51 am

Jacula

Really off now. Byeeee.

6:56 am

Atalante

off now too. lunchtime!

7:01 am

Uniquity

**tap tap** Is this thing on?

7:07 am

Angelsong

hi, all. there is a bird cr4/9 in the grid today; if you make that cr4 a monarch by putting a cr5/20 on it's head, it will be ro5/14.

7:07 am

Mom

good morning

7:08 am

Mom

thank you Angelsong, and good morning

7:08 am

rolin

ata..when you get back..its your move...

7:14 am

Merk

mi 6,24 the second one, please

7:14 am

Mom

Hi Merk, sorry but I don't have it.

7:16 am

Merk

Nothing is working for me. I can become illogical, stuck on one way to go. I think the first three letters have to be like the first three mi 6,24 before it because it cannot be like the mi 4 after it.

7:16 am

Mom

I only have 3 mi words and they are all 4 letter ones

7:17 am

rolin

i have one mi6/24...and its very very small..

7:17 am

Merk

Thanks anyway, Mom. Rolin, that is the one I have.

7:17 am

rolin

and its not the plural

7:18 am

Mom

thanks Rolin

7:19 am

Merk

No, there is an mi 6,24 immediately after the mi 6,24 we both have. The mi 4,5 immediately after limits what you can have alphabetically in that slot.

7:19 am

rolin

so how many mi6/24s are there?

7:19 am

Merk

Two right in a row. There's another 6, but it's way down, a 6, 27

7:20 am

Merk

Oh, dah, the two mi 6,24 are connected. One is a plural and the other ends in a vowel.

7:21 am

Merk

Sticky brain here

7:22 am

Mom

you good now, Merk?

7:22 am

Merk

Yes, I am, ty

7:22 am

Merk

You, too?

7:22 am

Mom

:)

7:22 am

rolin

oh good..cos you got me very confused..lol

Scarlet

Hello, scarydeb!

7:56 am

o-o

well done

8:00 am

Scarlet

BR-r... I was on the outer periphery of the chat this weekend as I quickly did the grid... You came home at the same time that many of my fresh-faced young friends did, too... but in body bags. Thank you for your service.

8:02 am

o-o

Yes, I was one of the fortunate ones

8:04 am

Scarlet

On reflection, that may debatable, BR-r, but I do not want to open any deep veins of sorrow... I do feel gratitude.

8:06 am

8:08 am

my guess is that the procedure started later than planned and that she got home very late. I am trying not to worry

8:08 am

Scarlet

Okay, peri... I kept a good thought last night!

8:08 am

Anniebrook

okay, I tried to join facebook but recd a message saying there was an acct with my name. I never tried to join before unless I am in a deep blackout but I do not think so. I wrote to facebook and explained my dilemma.

8:08 am

periwinkle

thanks, Scarlet

8:09 am

periwinkle

what is this about facebook?

8:09 am

Anniebrook

peri, rolin can explain it better....rolin, where are you?

8:10 am

Scarlet

Exactly, BR-r... we must turn the page and devote ourselves to the gratitude of being able to feel the worst, but weigh it with all of the highly positive... the scales tip to the latter every time.

8:11 am

Haz1558

Good morning/afternoon all. I'm back with crowbar for this grid.

8:23 am

Scarlet

Urf... Annie, Sprite made an account with "Sprite Babble", so you might want to be AnnieBrooklyn... if that helps.

8:23 am

Scarlet

And make up a new password.

8:25 am

Scarlet

You don't have an unusual last name, AnnieB, so I am certain that the site is accustomed to redundant lisitngs...

8:26 am

Anniebrook

scarlet.....cant get in....will try another time.....

8:26 am

carleekat

Flask1

9:25 am

9:32 am

Flask1

9:33 am

rolin

no..just open up a hotmail address specifically for facebook..cos anything that happens on facebook sends you an email...and some ppl get annoyed by that... so you can have a hotmail a/c you dont actually use as mail access..

9:33 am

nurse1000

10:33 am

Uniquity

10:33 am

Scarlet

Plural birds, ruru

10:34 am

rururocks

10:34 am

Scarlet

Digging out the compost bin, Haz... rotating the organic materials to breathe properly... and I am whooped out from that job!

Scarlet

No, ruru.

10:35 am

rururocks

oh I need the 18 then...

10:35 am

rururocks

10:35 am

Scarlet

Perhaps Miss Spangle would recommend a good human groomer to bring me up to snuff... or, sniff as the case may be!

10:35 am

rururocks

fireworks

10:35 am

Uniquity

I believe it is a variant on the spelling of the bird (still the 4,7)

10:35 am

rururocks

thanks I thought I had the 18 because of the plural

10:35 am

rururocks

it was the 16

bubba218

Thanks, didn't even notice that other hight point letter

10:38 am

Scarlet

Oh, no... do you bathe her right away, Ata?

10:38 am

Haz1558

She'd just snuff and snort and stick her nose ever closer. As if she can't believe just how good it smelled the first ime.

10:38 am

Mitchell

in5/14 anyone?

10:38 am

debjed

need one of the na4,4's. have the one with three vowels.

10:38 am

Atalante

10:39 am

Haz1558

YOU HEAR THAT HOBBIT? YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE A BATH!

10:39 am

Scarlet

Even bones hold on to that delightful gristle... Haz, you ruined Ata's surprise!

10:39 am

Atalante

she loves baths!

10:39 am

Atalante

luckily

10:40 am

Uniquity

in5: in + *** down a bet on something (or a variant on a way to place tile)

10:40 am

Haz1558

Waves of smugness have started. Her dog likes a bath.

10:40 am

Scarlet

You ARE lucky, Ata. I am fortunate that my old cat is wonderful when I bathe her...

10:40 am

Haz1558

How often do you bathe your cat, Scarlet?

10:40 am

Scarlet

Smugs of coffee all around...

10:41 am

Uniquity

na4: na + cha** is above hell in Paradise Lost.

10:41 am

Atalante

haven't tried bathing the cat yet though

10:41 am

Scarlet

Usually, about every six months... unless she has been poking about in the basement, and has rolled in all of my bulbs drying out on a screen... then emergency measures are necessary.

10:41 am

Haz1558

The cat of glory gets done once a week.

10:42 am

Atalante

she does??

10:42 am

Haz1558

Yes, apparently.

10:42 am

Scarlet

LOL... no ordinary American cat may deign to reach that gloriousness...

10:42 am

Atalante

*stunned into silence*

10:42 am

debjed

i don't know cha**

10:42 am

Mitchell

still being dim about in5/10 lol

10:43 am

Haz1558

Not having a cat, I have no idea about these things, but I thought it was more often than normal.

10:43 am

Scarlet

IN+ what you do in bed, Mitchell... you don't sit, you ***

10:43 am

Uniquity

Nope, I am pretty certain I just can't clue...two failures in a row. Someone help please?

10:43 am

Atalante

well Sily's 2 and she's never had a bath!

10:43 am

Haz1558

Mitchell, in5/14 - in plus what a chicken does to an egg.

10:43 am

Mitchell

lol, ta

10:43 am

Scarlet

That IS a bit much, however...

10:43 am

debjed

no baths for my kitties

10:44 am

Haz1558

na4/4 - na plus a distress signal, minus the first letter.

10:45 am

debjed

got it Haz, you can clue Uniquity, i just didn't know Paradise Lost. thank you.

10:45 am

Scarlet

My old gal was spayed when she was five months old, and has reached a very large size... she does not overeat, but her doctor said that she is genetically predisposed to largeness... so, I must bathe her regularly to keep a nice, shiny coat... and her daily brushings are a ritual that she adores!

10:45 am

Haz1558

Well done deb.

10:46 am

Atalante

I knew Paradise lost. Can I be smug?

10:46 am

Haz1558

She sounds like a happy cat!

10:47 am

Uniquity

Absolutely Ata

10:47 am

Scarlet

LOL... Ata, anyone who invites me to join a Vampire sect is okay in my book!

10:47 am

Haz1558

Yes, Atalante, your smugness quotient stays at record levels.

10:47 am

debjed

many of you can be smug, you're smart:)

10:47 am

Atalante

wooooot :)

10:47 am

Scarlet

Look who's talking, deb!

10:48 am

Scarlet

Okay, the siren call of the kitchen has reached my stomach... will be back eventually, but have a spectacular day, ladies!

10:48 am

debjed

oh, i think i ask for more than my fair share of clues and don't clue to many for others.

10:48 am

debjed

bye red

10:48 am

debjed

*too

10:49 am

bubba218

mi6,27 please

10:49 am

lideola

hello all

10:49 am

Haz1558

Cheerio Scarlet!

10:49 am

Scarlet

deb, there is no measurement for such things... Haz held my hand for many months when I first started... she even stayed up one night until after midnight (her time) to help me with a particularly difficult grid.

10:49 am

debjed

hi lideola, i need that mi too bubba

10:49 am

rolin

ok..i have 18 to go..*deep breath*..can someone clue me the no6 &6 pls

10:49 am

Scarlet

*Waving ta-ta

10:50 am

lideola

does anyone else miss the obvious words on the PITA boards like this one?

10:50 am

Uniquity

I get clues from my Mum when I am terribly stuck and use the AtoZ dictionary every day

10:50 am

Haz1558

mi6/27 - first three letters of the skirt length pioneered by Mary Quant, last three letters, the opposite of aye, but backwards.

10:50 am

Uniquity

I try to compensate by cluing, makes me feel better :)

10:50 am

Haz1558

no5 - looks like no to a Spanish river, female, and then plural.

10:50 am

lideola

so busy trying to find the obscure that I become blind to the obvious... like the ri4/5- probably the most common grain in the world, didn't get it until i opened lickety

10:50 am

debjed

got it Haz, great clue

10:51 am

Atalante

your mum plays, uni?

10:51 am

Uniquity

LoriP is my mum

10:51 am

Haz1558

Her mum is LoriP. Didn't you know?

10:51 am

Haz1558

Now I can feel smug....

10:51 am

bubba218

Thanks Haz

10:51 am

Haz1558

You're welcome.

10:52 am

Mitchell

still didnt get mi6/27 haz

10:52 am

Atalante

oh! never realised that!!

10:53 am

Uniquity

It sounds a lot like a helper or worker (usually a servant to an evil boss like Dr. Evil)

10:53 am

Haz1558

OKay, try first three letters of Mickie Mouse's girlfriend, last three letters, take the fifth month of the year, spell it backwards, but make the m one further on in the alphabet.

10:53 am

rolin

*slaps head*...ty haz...i had just used that word in scrabble..and still didnt see it

10:54 am

Haz1558

Poor head - hopefully you didn't hit yourself too hard?

10:54 am

Mitchell

i didnt realise thats how u spelt minyan lol, i thought it was minyon

10:54 am

rolin

nah.... couldja believe it...i have been described as hard headed,,lol

10:55 am

Haz1558

Here's my theory. It's the sort of grid that leads you up so many blind alleys that you just end up confused!

10:55 am

rolin

oops mitch

10:55 am

bubba218

Mitchell, not supposed to put the word in the gird

10:55 am

Haz1558

This is a different meaning, though, Mitchell.

10:56 am

Uniquity

The one I referred to is actually minion...I was just giving the sound, sorry to confuse

10:56 am

bubba218

an 6,18 please

10:56 am

Atalante

I can't think of what to call my latest pic. Stuck

10:56 am

Mitchell

i think my life is actually over after putting a word in the chat grid, oooooo nooooooo!

10:56 am

Haz1558

an6 - the term used when putting oil on someone?

10:57 am

inge

an 6 is a religious ceremony with oil

10:57 am

bubba218

Thanks Haz, that finishes the grid for me

10:57 am

Haz1558

It's not over, Mitchell, it was just a reminder to try not to give words away.

10:57 am

bubba218

Thanks also Inge

10:57 am

inge

Guten Tag Babblers, just reading up in the chat to stay in touch

10:57 am

Haz1558

Uniquity

11:09 am

bichon

mi 6/24 [the 2nd one after the small measurement unit], please

11:09 am

Mitchell

you sure about german for yes

11:09 am

Haz1558

It's the plural, bichon.

11:09 am

Haz1558

Ja!

11:09 am

lideola

plural of the mi 5/14 that starts that sequence

11:09 am

debjed

help with the sl7,28, Please

11:10 am

bichon

ty Haz

11:10 am

Haz1558

sl7/28 - Gaelic for 'cheers', add two letters of a beverage to the fallen ones (sl5)

11:10 am

lideola

sl is a gaelic toast or "cheers"... sl + slang for am not + vowel

11:10 am

Mitchell

so how does ri5/20 plus the german for yes make sense

11:11 am

Haz1558

ri plus a vowel, then German for yes.

11:11 am

lideola

ri 5/20 is spanish for river + german for yes

11:11 am

Mitchell

kk

11:11 am

lideola

or what haz just said

11:11 am

lideola

; )

11:11 am

debjed

11:12 am

Haz1558

You're welcome deb.

11:12 am

Ogdens Nut

Haz is here, how hopeful

11:12 am

Uniquity

Alright, I give up. Two more words, the ro5,14 and ro6,24. Please set me free!

11:12 am

Uniquity

I refuse to use the dictionary

11:12 am

lideola

aaaaaaah the queen, the king, they come from a ro*** family

11:13 am

Haz1558

ro5/14 - word describing a monarch?

11:13 am

Haz1558

Hello Zen - it's a tricky grid today, have your crowbar handy.

11:13 am

Uniquity

Oh. Wow. I hate myself now. But thank you...I am done

11:13 am

The third tr5/10 is appropriately about three.

11:14 am

caitlyn

Atalante

11:15 am

Haz1558

The one before that, rolin, mirrors the structure of the court case, but different vowel.

11:15 am

lideola

11:15 am

Atalante

Mitchell

Haz1558

Well done rolin - someone did it in 35 minutes this morning. Just to cheer us all up.

11:18 am

lideola

11:18 am

lideola

he always kicks my butt in tangleword

11:18 am

Haz1558

No, it was either dart or DRBsomething.

11:19 am

Haz1558

Would I jest, rolin?

11:19 am

Ogdens Nut

Oh, thanks haz, i had monkeyed that; it must be the one before that....

11:19 am

caitlyn

DrB always finishes in record time

11:19 am

Haz1558

Before that comes the group(s) of three, Zen.

11:20 am

rolin

it has been known haz....well.. im gonna take a break for a while... can i just mention again for those who havent yet heard...if youre on face book there is ababblers worldwide group...pls join up it would be great to get as many as possible on there

11:20 am

Ogdens Nut

Must be before that then!

11:21 am

debjed

that 35 minute babbler probably didn't ask for clues either.

11:21 am

caitlyn

I have only heard of face book..never tried the site though rolin is it good?

11:21 am

lideola

there is a tr5/10 that has the set of 3 + a consonant at the end

11:21 am

Haz1558

Okay, before that comes a tr5 and tr6 combination. Mirrors the structure of the court case (first tr5) but different vowel used.

11:21 am

lideola

but its not the plural- it has a different letter at the end

11:21 am

Uniquity

Lori hasn't veen finished yet

11:21 am

sandr

11:21 am

Uniquity

She went to work after a half hour of babbling with only 26 words

11:21 am

Uniquity

11:22 am

Haz1558

No, the 35 minute babbler always completes before clues are flying around.

11:22 am

rolin

Haz1558

Or how about a wee lie down in a darkened room?

11:48 am

Haz1558

I'm glad they helped Aloy. It's a grid to test the patience, that's for sure.

11:48 am

Haz1558

carlee - a crowbar works wonders.

11:48 am

Aloyisius

to be sure, Haz.. not easy sailing

11:49 am

Haz1558

Lots of false starts and dashed hopes, I reckon.

11:50 am

The monkey has to work overtime on this one

11:51 am

carleekat

2:30 pm

stidmama

rofl... fiz -- I have gained at least 20 lbs since you saw me! not sure how... *munching on chips*

2:30 pm

Dorens

nah, nut, she's smacking herself!

2:30 pm

carleekat

SO WHAT if u have gained weigth stid...

2:31 pm

evanonut

oh, like masochism?

2:31 pm

Dorens

do I have to come give you the lesson on self-esteem stid?

2:31 pm

stidmama

so it probably explains the excruciting knee pain of the last two weeks, carlee!!!! I am being given physical therapy so I can increase my activity level safely.

2:31 pm

TheFiz

stid i feel confident the weight has not made you into a witchy crone.

2:31 pm

stidmama

*cackles and stirs stidkid stew*

2:32 pm

eieios

we are only down on ourselves b/c the media says we should be 5 foot 10 and weigh 120 lbs!

2:32 pm

evanonut

me and stid can be cheese thigh sisters, i've done a lovely gain myself

2:32 pm

TheFiz

well....i *WAS* confident.

2:32 pm

eieios

it has nothing to do with the chocolates and cookies and chips!

2:32 pm

stidmama

actually, I know that weight contributes to the disabling pain in my knees. Losing 30 pounds would allow me to live medication free.

2:33 pm

stidmama

I am stunningly beautiful in real life, just not very able to do the things I love. :-(

2:33 pm

TheFiz

have you read "animal, vegetable, miracle"? the food production chain is a conspiracy against us.

2:33 pm

carleekat

I haven't got a clue if I have gained or lost during my...."episode" here..and frankly I don't give a flying f*&^ cus there are bigger things out there to worry about then that....and I for one..should KNOW

2:33 pm

stidmama

*looks to see if anyone wants to dispute last statement*

2:33 pm

eieios

high five on that, carlee

2:33 pm

evanonut

carlee, only reason i care is that i don't wanna go buy new pants and bras

2:33 pm

carleekat

I believe... I just did in a round about way stid

2:34 pm

TheFiz

ugh. no one of any size likes to buy bras.

2:34 pm

stidmama

{{{carlee}}} it's not about anyone else's weight or shape... just that on me it's uncomfortable to the point of tears.

2:34 pm

montreal13

need clue for 1 of the last tr 5/10 - i have the musical group(s) ?

2:34 pm

TheFiz

nothing makes you more conscious of your natural "variations" than that. except maybe bathing suits.

2:34 pm

carleekat

if it is uncomfortable..then yes..do soemthing but don't get down onyourself please stid

2:34 pm

evanonut

bras were invented by the devil fiz, tis true, but they DO keep the girls in check.

2:35 pm

eieios

did the devil decide how much they should cost too? yikes!

2:35 pm

carleekat

if its about living happier and healthier...but not in the mirror..then yes...do something..but this..."oh damn..I am so fat..." cock and bull crap....that brings us all down on ourselves

2:35 pm

TheFiz

i hear you. necessary to avoid the "flying south for the winter" effect, but buying them always sends me into a downward spiral of self-hatred.

2:36 pm

billmster

Closing down with 57 left!! Good night folks

2:36 pm

stidmama

4:33 pm

Babs1

TO...hmmm. well maybe do the smoothie a little later in the day then...

4:33 pm

herinfernallady

Babs1

This was a big change for me...I had always been thin, and then a few years ago packed on the extra 20# and couldn't seem to drop until I did the smoothie, more raw, started wanting less food, etc. The pounds just melted away--down from a 12 to a 6 or 8..

4:35 pm

herinfernallady

Hi Tiny

72 Temple Owl

good timing, hursh

5:05 pm

hurshy

it's one of the facebook apps

5:06 pm

Scrabbler

Would you be in favor of a Princess Bride sequel--with little Buttercups and Wesleys?

5:06 pm

hurshy

do you ever hate yourself and just want to bury your head in the sand? do you think ostriches are embarrassed about things and that is why they do that?

Scrabbler

5:11 pm

Scrabbler

Is the an6 related to the an5 before it?

5:11 pm

bendamalina

when you say it's so much like yesterday's, do you mean that it's REALLY annoying?

5:11 pm

hurshy

yes

5:11 pm

hurshy

that is precisely what i mean

5:11 pm

Scrabbler

Way MORE annoying, bendamalina!!!!

5:11 pm

carleekat

no..todays is worse then yesterday

5:11 pm

bendamalina

no, the an6 is a misspelling of what you do to a baby when you baptise it...you an**** it with oils

5:12 pm

hurshy

it's not misspelled...

5:12 pm

Scrabbler

TY, bendamalina

5:13 pm

Scrabbler

And Bunny Callie has entered the room to assist me.

5:13 pm

bendamalina

you are right. sorry hursh, i'm dumb sometimes

5:13 pm

hurshy

well the list is gonna enter the room to assist me cause i am tired of annoying grids

5:14 pm

hurshy

um, ok, see, this is where i feel awkward, because i like to have correct information out there in the world, but i don't mean for it to make people feel like they are dumb, and then i don't know what to say, because "you're not dumb" is so conventional...

5:14 pm

Scrabbler

I brought up the list too--I was struggling too much and there just isn't enough time to monkey these weird words.

5:14 pm

bendamalina

awww, that's not what i meant. i don't like putting misinformation out in the world, either.

5:15 pm

72 Temple Owl

scrabs, how do buniies beg? do they make noise?

5:16 pm

Scrabbler

Callie starts nipping my ankles, feet or pants. The others (upstairs) throw their dishes or toys around. Tucker tries to push his gate out, and is is sometimes successful.

5:16 pm

hurshy

and i can't tell you not to insult yourself because i insult myself all the time and so it would be hypocritical

5:17 pm

bendamalina

hahaa, well, being a hypocrit isn't the worst thing in the world. I hate when other people say stuff like that, but i do it anyways. but thanks. I know i'm not dumb, sometimes i just say dumb things :D

5:17 pm

Scrabbler

We all have "oops" moments.

5:17 pm

bendamalina

5:17 pm

Mitchell

Scrabbler

5:23 pm

carleekat

sorry scrabs..i'm contagious

Scrabbler

Remember, my brain is dead.

5:23 pm

5:43 pm

Haz1558

Bye doxy.

5:43 pm

Wyrd

help please?

5:43 pm

Haz1558

or5 - the whale, plus out's opposite

5:43 pm

hurshy

thanks haz, i would have murdered it!

5:44 pm

hurshy

so... umm... gaelic is like, scottish, right?

5:44 pm

Haz1558

or7/32 - add the beginning of Mr Cromwell's first name, then plural for or8.

5:44 pm

brandyjack

now there was a deadly insult......

5:45 pm

Haz1558

English has its quirks of pronounciation - so has Gaelic, though I only know a few words here and there.

5:45 pm

Haz1558

There's Scots Gaelic and Irish Gaelic.

5:46 pm

hurshy

are they... like... like old? like middle english? or is this what people use in everyday chats now?

5:46 pm

hurshy

i mean i know some words still get used but like, overall do they just speak english or do people speak like a whole other language?

5:46 pm

Wyrd

I got the 5, many thanks Haz, but I do not know of this Mr Cromwell

5:47 pm

Wyrd

oh i figured it out!

5:47 pm

hurshy

you don't know cromwell?!

5:47 pm

Haz1558

There are parts of Ireland (known as the Gaeltacht) where Irish would be the first language spoken, though most people would know English as well. Scots Gaelic would be spoken in some parts of the Highlands and the islands.

5:47 pm

hurshy

*officially apologizes for the american school system*

5:48 pm

Wyrd

hehehe, hurshy

5:48 pm

hurshy

so, would an ordinary scottish person living in the US know what i meant if i said "sl7"?

5:48 pm

Haz1558

I should have used an American reference, like North.

5:48 pm

Wyrd

I read lots! I just have CRS :(

5:48 pm

hurshy

what is CRS can't remember sh**?

5:48 pm

Haz1558

As far as I know, sl7 is Irish, so not sure if the Scots would understand.

5:49 pm

hurshy

ohhh it's irish

5:49 pm

hurshy

such an educational day

5:49 pm

Haz1558

You live and learn, hurshy.

5:50 pm

hurshy

so there is one benefit to living, at least.

5:50 pm

Mom

I will take an educational lesson, I don't know who Cromwell is

5:50 pm

Haz1558

Yes, I think so.

5:51 pm

hurshy

good ole ollie cromwell

5:51 pm

Haz1558

Cromwell decided that he would make a better job of looking after England than the King. He was wrong, so Charles II was restored to the throne. (Hope I've got my facts right)

5:51 pm

hurshy

he was the dude who stuck it to the royals and kinda got the whole democracy ball rolling

5:52 pm

hurshy

yeah it was rather a bust but sorta planted a seed, dontchano

5:52 pm

Mom

thank you for the lesson. :)

5:52 pm

Haz1558

17th century England - no wonder you haven't heard of him. He wasn't very attractive, he wouldn't have done very well in running for AMerican presidency.

5:53 pm

hurshy

what, was he too eloquent?

5:53 pm

hurshy

too intelligent?

5:53 pm

Haz1558

He was the one who asked the painters to depict him 'warts and all'.

5:53 pm

hurshy

not the type to go for plastic surgery, then. guess he'd lose the hollywood vote.

5:54 pm

Haz1558

And his parties would be useless. He was of the Puritan persuasion.

5:55 pm

hurshy

oh well, we get THOSE for presidents. at least, allegedly.

5:55 pm

Mom

I am still having a hard time wth the or 7 & 8, even with the clues. Can you all help, please

5:55 pm

Haz1558

If you have or5, add the beginnings of Miss Newton John.

5:56 pm

Haz1558

Or Miss de Haviland.

5:56 pm

hurshy

or nellie

5:56 pm

Haz1558

Or Miss Oyl, if it comes to that.

5:56 pm

hurshy

or not young

5:56 pm

hurshy

or smell-related

5:57 pm

hurshy

or young twist

5:57 pm

Mom

oh duh, I didn't catch the part where it played off the or 5 word

5:57 pm

Haz1558

(She'll keep on clueing until you raise the white flag)

My husband got his hands on a flake bar for me, but sadly, I didn't like it (they don't sell them here)

6:01 pm

redshoes

my pleasure. Am drinking tea, myself. =)

Haz1558

Wispa is Cadbury's chocolate with a hint of bubble throughout, similar to Aero, but not so much bubble. It was a sad day when they withdrew it, but it's back!

6:01 pm

Mom

that is halfway for me, time to do the dishes. Thanks for your patience in helping me with clues. Hugs to all

6:02 pm

redshoes

ahhhh. Interesting, Haz.

6:02 pm

Haz1558

Bye Mom - see you again.

6:02 pm

redshoes

bye mom!

6:02 pm

Krista

Our local grocery store just had the fruit and nut bars 10 for 1.00. I showed great restraint and bought ONE!

6:02 pm

Mom

bye bye Haz and Redshoes

6:02 pm

Krista

Bye Mom!! Don't get dishpan hands.

6:03 pm

Haz1558

10 bars for 1 dollar?

6:03 pm

Mom

thanks Krista, I won't. bye bye

6:03 pm

redshoes

I like the freeze the fruit and nut bars and just eat them a row at a time.

6:03 pm

redshoes

wait... 10 for 1? or $1 each?

6:03 pm

Krista

Oh wait...I meant 10 for 10.00!!

6:04 pm

Krista

Yikes, I would have bought them out at that price.

6:04 pm

Haz1558

Ah, that's more like it. I was about to wail about the price of chocolate over here, but that sounds more like the thing.

6:05 pm

Haz1558

This is how rumours start. That shop could have been inundated with people looking for the cheap chocolate bars.

6:05 pm

redshoes

Totally, Haz.

6:05 pm

Krista

That's why I need some coffee. Brain not working well.

6:06 pm

Krista

We are in Hershey country (although Hershey makes Cadbury now), so they don't sell fast.

6:06 pm

Haz1558

So, it's not imported chocolate, then?

6:07 pm

Krista

No, but we get some from the English relatives at Christmas.

6:07 pm

redshoes

I actually am not the biggest chocolate fan. I'd generally rather have nachos. Or reeses pieces. =)

6:07 pm

Haz1558

Does it taste just the same?

6:08 pm

Krista

My son loves the Cadbury buttons. They are very close, Haz. I can't taste the difference, but my husband can, but it's only slight, he says.

6:09 pm

Haz1558

That's good - it would be a pity to have Cadbury's on the outside and not taste the way it should.

6:09 pm

Krista

Didn't realize the time..have to get the kid to lessons. Thanks for the food chat! Bye RS, bye Haz. Sleep well.

6:10 pm

Haz1558

Anyway, pumpkin time has come, so I'd better take myself off. I've defended the honour of the Queen and dredged up some 17th century English history. My job is done! Bye for now!

that is the stupidest looking latin plural I have seen in a while!

8:26 pm

Jacula

dcs - Glad you enjoyed it. My son's just been asked if he wants to go on IT helpdesk at work. He's declined. Just as well - he's not the most patient of people with 'computer morons' (his term, not mine).

8:31 pm

jesdraggon

thanks

8:31 pm

dcseain

it does, jes, if in different courses, presuming there's no ham in the soup.

8:31 pm

Jen

I think I need to pack it in for the night... 0515 comes early! G'night all!

8:32 pm

jesdraggon

ah, but there was ham in the soup. the point of making the soup was to use up the rest of the ham i made last week :)

8:32 pm

8:32 pm

Jacula

I keep getting put off by my own icon when I glance down at it in the log. Keep thinking Haz and Spangle are here (though Haz went earlier, I imagine). I'd love to see a pic of Spangle with that lippy dog toy in her mouth, though. Maybe I'll get her one for Christmas.

8:33 pm

Jacula

'Night, Jen.

8:33 pm

dcseain

jillibus

oh poor you, dc!

8:34 pm

Jacula

3rd tr5/10 = groups of three.

8:34 pm

dcseain

well, i'm functional enough to maintain conversation (for now) :)

8:34 pm

dcseain

the joys of nightshift plus court appearances, jilli. :)

8:34 pm

jillibus

8:34 pm

carleekat

8:34 pm

jesdraggon

8:34 pm

Jacula

jilli - when I saw the theme was 'smiles' I immediately thought of the dog toy and looked for it.

8:34 pm

dcseain

3rd tr5/10 tr + 1 w/a different vowel

8:35 pm

Jacula

Hi, renster.

8:35 pm

8:36 pm

Jacula

8:41 pm

Minveryork

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

8:41 pm

renfield

is it the native american? the apache man?

8:41 pm

dcseain

hi/bye -- nitey nite, nut

8:42 pm

LOL, jilli. I can't drink vodka; it makes me sick. (No, not in any big amount but any tiny amount. It's never agreed with me.)

8:43 pm

Jacula

'Night, nut. x

8:43 pm

dcseain

i like gin better than vodka, myself.

8:43 pm

Jacula

G&T with ice and a slice. Nice!

8:43 pm

pam

LOVE gin bloody mary... Don't drink vodka, either... never agreed with me, either, jac.

8:43 pm

jillibus

Wow, I didn't know about the yo4 -- what we learn from Babble!!!

GreyWoulf

I can't drink gin, and don't really care for the taste of vodka

8:44 pm

Jacula

Oops! Just said a word. Sorry!

8:44 pm

dcseain

indeed so, jac!

8:44 pm

Amyjv

the fourth tr 5,10

8:44 pm

Minveryork

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

8:44 pm

jillibus

Yes, nice, jac, but a bit too sweet ;)

8:45 pm

harpjane

ri5/20?

8:45 pm

renfield

wow - i coulda had a v8!!

8:45 pm

dcseain

4th tr5/10 tr + 1 w/a different final vowel

8:45 pm

GreyWoulf

However, rum or scotch (depending on label) go down nice and smooooth

8:45 pm

jillibus

Hi GW, phan, Min and all those whose entry I missed

8:45 pm

Jacula

Wolfie - I generally steer clear of spirits and stick to wine or dry cider. The occasional bacardi and diet coke (not pepsi!) with ice and lemon is nice or Gordon's dry gin with tonic, ice and a slice.

8:45 pm

phandmd

the ri 4/20 uses the j

8:45 pm

dcseain

ri5/20 is a lovel Spanish wine region, la ri5/20, the make ri5/20s and crianzas

8:46 pm

Minveryork

Hello jilliobus!How are you? Did you finish the grid yet

8:46 pm

jesdraggon

down to the OR words now. any clues?

8:46 pm

Jacula

Another word that uses the 6-point tile like the wine phan just clued is ni5/20 - think Hero Turtles.

8:46 pm

dcseain

or5/7/8 all start with a whale that doesn't go out

8:47 pm

harpjane

thanks

8:47 pm

Amyjv

any other clues for the 4th tr 5,10

8:47 pm

phandmd

lord of the rings character + not out and the others build on it

8:47 pm

tinyteddy

ok guys i completely give in i been here 4hours and only half way, thanks for the clues but im over it

8:47 pm

tinyteddy

8:47 pm

tinyteddy

8:47 pm

dcseain

hasta, teddy

8:47 pm

phandmd

tr + not off + 1st vowel

8:47 pm

jesdraggon

you make me laugh, dc. but i understood it :)

8:47 pm

jillibus

I'm a purist. Gin is "mother's ruin". Scotch tastes like Ivory Soap. Rum is too sweet. Rye is boring. Vodka is pure and simple. but as they used to say, pick your poison!

8:47 pm

Amyjv

woot ty

8:48 pm

Minveryork

I think trojan should be accepted. Anyone else try it?

8:48 pm

jesdraggon

thanks muchly

8:48 pm

dcseain

cool, jes! the 8 is a plural of the 7.

8:48 pm

Amyjv

the last ha 5,12

8:48 pm

Jacula

Min - I didn't 'cos I know it's capitalised and I've tried it before. LOL. Wanted to try it, though!

8:49 pm

renfield

i tried it min

8:49 pm

jesdraggon

got them all from that first clue, actually

8:49 pm

Jacula

Also, phantoms 'ronion' and 'onion' were typed in by me at leat twice.

8:49 pm

dcseain

go you!

8:49 pm

phandmd

ha 5/12 - kinda like a grim's fairy tale character

8:49 pm

dcseain

last ha5/12 is hard to clue. it means "a company or guild of merchants in a northern European medieval town. "

8:49 pm

pam

got the or5, but can't seem to monkey the 7/8... Loved the hint to the words, though!

8:50 pm

Jacula

I also tried 'Olay' as in 'oil of...' face cream.

8:50 pm

jillibus

My goal for this grid is half way, and I'm not there yet. Didn't have time today.

8:50 pm

dcseain

pam, add a chemical ending

8:50 pm

Minveryork

Phantom words for me were hy 4/8 plus al and acorn.

8:50 pm

jillibus

jac, I ALWAYS try Olay!

8:50 pm

jesdraggon

nah, go you--you're the one that pointed me that direction :)

8:50 pm

pam

phantom-sayonara

8:50 pm

pam

phantom-sayonara

8:50 pm

Amyjv

got it ty

8:50 pm

phandmd

the or words end in the roun vowel and stick letter

8:51 pm

Jacula

Oil of Olay used to be called 'Oil of Ulay' in UK until a few years' ago. Apparently, it means something rude somewhere else in the world and was causing giggles... so... they changed the name.

8:51 pm

Amyjv

woot fireworks!

8:51 pm

Jacula

Congrats, Amy.

8:51 pm

Amyjv

:) thanks

8:51 pm

phandmd

Woot! Amy

8:51 pm

Minveryork

Another way to clue ha 5/12 word is h + an 4/4 word

8:52 pm

jillibus

Oh, funny, jac. I've heard of that happening with car names too.

8:52 pm

pam

thanks, dc

8:52 pm

Minveryork

Congratulations Amyjv on your fireworks!Good for U!

8:52 pm

Amyjv

tyty

8:52 pm

Jacula

Any 'for instances' on that, jilli?

8:52 pm

jillibus

YAY Amy!!! Now will you tell a fellow-Canadian where in Canada you are?

8:52 pm

GreyWoulf

I am working for the halfway point myself -- I actually had a chance to take my lunchbreak today and discovered that tech support has installed site blocking technology!! I can't babble on my lunch break anymore! 8-(

8:52 pm

Minveryork

Does anyone have a clue for the an 5/10 word please

8:52 pm

jillibus

I can't remember, jac

8:53 pm

Minveryork

Actually, I need the second an 5/10 word if you have

8:53 pm

Jacula

Oh, shame, jilli.

8:53 pm

phandmd

an + girl

8:53 pm

phandmd

the 2nd an 5/10 is a plural

8:53 pm

Jacula

2nd an5/10 is plural of an4/4.

8:53 pm

jillibus

yeah. I wonder if google can help

8:53 pm

pam

that stinks, grey

8:54 pm

Jacula

an4/4 is aa Babblet dwarf buffalo.

8:54 pm

Minveryork

I have the one that is plural.I need other an4/4 word

8:54 pm

jillibus

min, the 2nd an5/10 is more than one Celebes buffalo

8:54 pm

Minveryork

I meant I got an5/10 that's a plural. I need other one

8:54 pm

Jacula

Oh!:(( Poor Wolfie! How mean of them.

8:55 pm

jillibus

and I need the first two an 4/4 words, lol

8:55 pm

phandmd

well, both an 5/10's end in s

8:55 pm

Ping

hi friends

8:55 pm

Jacula

Min - the first an5/10 was clued to you by phan.

8:55 pm

phandmd

think rear end

8:55 pm

Jacula

Hi, ping.

8:55 pm

Minveryork

an 4/4:when someone is VERY picky how to do things

8:55 pm

GreyWoulf

very mean indeed, it is not like I get to play at work that often either

8:56 pm

phandmd

and for the other put 2 prepositions together

8:56 pm

GreyWoulf

hey Ping

8:56 pm

jillibus

bummer, wolfie. I'll be at our local library tomorrow where I volunteer and I don't think anyone will pull that stunt on us

8:56 pm

dcseain

1st an5/10: an + spanish plural fem def article

8:56 pm

Minveryork

The second an 4/4:an* alicia plus snake letter jillibus.

8:56 pm

Minveryork

Hello Ping! How are you doing? Welcome to the puzzle

8:57 pm

pam

ping!

8:57 pm

Jacula

Wolfie - best thing you can do is either write the grid down before you leave for work (like wot I do!) or print it off and play it on paper at your leisure. Type in the words on site when you can.

8:57 pm

Ping

hi jacula, gw, pam and min!

8:57 pm

dcseain

hiya, ping!

8:58 pm

GreyWoulf

Jac -- you presume that I am awake enough to turn on the computer before I go to work :-D

8:58 pm

jillibus

ah, got your an4/4 (1st) clue, Min -- ty

8:58 pm

Ping

hi dc!

8:58 pm

Jacula

Wolfie - you can adapt!

8:58 pm

dcseain

oh, what a good idea, jac!

8:59 pm

dcseain

YAY! a friend is going to have a Soup & Song night in December. :D

8:59 pm

jillibus

and thanks, phan for the 2nd. Now I don't see how the first an5/10 can be a plural...

8:59 pm

dcseain

1st an5/10 is not a plural, just ends like one.

9:00 pm

Minveryork

Don't get the spanish indefinite article feminine clue.

9:00 pm

Jacula

dcs - typing a whole list of words in at once is quite rewarding. LOL.

9:00 pm

phandmd

an + another word for girl (sort of) think scottish

9:00 pm

Jacula

Soup and song? That sounds fun? What does it entail?

9:00 pm

GreyWoulf

I suppose, Jac -- but first I want my voice back -- I have had a cold the past week and today it decided to graduate from sinus congestion to laryngitis

9:00 pm

Ping

i like that too - soup and song

9:00 pm

jillibus

Sou[ and Song night? What a great idea!

9:01 pm

phandmd

well, Law and Order SVU is on, so nitie, nite

9:01 pm

dcseain

every one brings a soup of their making, and we dine, then we sing and/or play instruments.

9:01 pm

dcseain

by, phand!

9:01 pm

Minveryork

Goodbye phandmd! I will see you tomorrow in the log!

9:01 pm

GreyWoulf

g'nite phandmd

9:01 pm

jillibus

good thing my dear late tone-deaf hubby won't be there, dc!

9:02 pm

Jacula

Wolfie - look on the bright side. When your voice comes back you'll sound like crooner Barry White for a while. Did you know he's responsible for more conceptions than any other singer? LOL

9:02 pm

dcseain

LOL jilli. I have a friend who loves to sing who can't carry a tune. We tolerate it, and avoid wincing in line of sight.

9:02 pm

Ping

night phan

9:02 pm

jillibus

You mean more than Sinatra?

9:02 pm

Jacula

'Night, phan.

9:02 pm

Ping

pam, i'm loving motherless brooklyn - thanks for the rec

9:03 pm

GreyWoulf

I don't care about sounding like Barry White! I care about being able to read books to my kids when they come up to me and shove them in my hands

9:03 pm

Jacula

jilli - yup! More than Sinatra.

9:03 pm

jillibus

Awww, woulfie!!!

9:04 pm

Jacula

Wolfie - you'll just have to read to them as Barry White. Actually, it's an opportunity with your eldest to get him to point out words and say them for you.

9:04 pm

GreyWoulf

At least I am able to whisper to them so I can wish them a good nite when I tuck them in

9:05 pm

Ping

this grid is harder than i expected

9:05 pm

dcseain

yes, ping, this one was quite challenging

9:05 pm

GreyWoulf

Jac -- my eldest is my daughter and she is doing just great at reading on her own now -- it is cool and scary at the same time

9:06 pm

Jacula

dcs - I have two friends (who were my 2 bridesmaids when I married back in '77) who are both tone-deaf. When one of them was singing along to the car radio when my half-deaf Dad was giving us a lift home from somewhere, it was that bad that he thought there was something wrong with the car!

9:06 pm

Ping

LOL, jacula

9:06 pm

dcseain

ROFL

9:06 pm

GreyWoulf

She is able to sound out many of the words in her books, but she doesn't always know what they mean so half the joy of reading is lost on her

9:06 pm

Jacula

Wolfie - they grow up so fast! Get Kristiana to help you read the bedtime stories.

9:07 pm

jillibus

The Sinatra I adored was the very young yearning one with Tommy Dorsey -- I was one of the swooning bobby-soxers at the Paramount Theatre in NYC, melting at age 14 when he sang "All, or nothing at all..." without really knowing what that was about (we were naive in those days)

9:07 pm

dcseain

a very thoughtful essay on US immigration policy: http://tinyurl.com/3cqxmq

9:07 pm

Jacula

Wolfie - try to use books with lots of story-leading pictures. That way K can virtualy tell the story on her own.

9:08 pm

GreyWoulf

Not only does she read the stories, but we are now reading chapter books at bedtime -- after we read a chapter or two she gets some time to read by herself... she usually spends that time rereading the chapter(s) we just read

9:08 pm

GreyWoulf

We just finished 'The Wizard of Oz' and have just started on 'The Adventures of Robin Hood'

9:08 pm

Jacula

Wolfie - are you like me when I read to kids in that you like to act it out and 'do the voices'?

9:09 pm

dcseain

i vote for Dr. Doolttle, woulf

9:09 pm

GreyWoulf

I don't always act it out these days, I usually am too wo4 out, but I do the voices

9:10 pm

jillibus

Woulfie -- whispering is bad for laryngitis -- better to croak (and I don't mean the finality)

9:10 pm

GreyWoulf

That is gonna be next, dc! It has been on her bookshelf since she was born waiting for her to be ready

9:10 pm

jillibus

How old is she, Woulfie?

9:10 pm

GreyWoulf

I will take that under advisement, jilli -- I am opting for total silence now that they are in bed

9:11 pm

jillibus

Oh yes, silence is best!

9:11 pm

dcseain

silence and tea with honey and lemon are my balm with laryngitis.

9:11 pm

Jacula

I was always the chosen one, by the kids, at playgroup/nursery to read the stories. Had kids on my lap, hanging off my legs, sitting all around. But that can backfire... I remember my little daughter, who was there because her older brother was a member of playgroup, putting a stop to that. She'd just learned to walk and could already talk and had obviously had enough of all those other children hanging around me. She stumped across the room, shoved little girls off my lap and yelled, 'MY MUMMY!'

9:11 pm

GreyWoulf

Kristianna is 4 1/4 years old -- her brother will be 2 at the end of Jan

9:11 pm

Jacula

She's 20 now and she still remembers doing it. (Still feels the same, too. LOL!)

9:12 pm

dcseain

how, charming, jac!

9:12 pm

GreyWoulf

silence may be best, but, of course, that ends up leaving the wife feeling a bit left out! Thankfully as a nurse, she can be sympathetic in her dismay

9:12 pm

pam

DC, do I want to read that Immigration essay 8-)

9:12 pm

pam

So cool that you read to her...

9:12 pm

dcseain

it's short, and pro-open borders, pam, so up to you.

9:13 pm

jillibus

well, woulfie, there are lots of substitues for silence witha wife *lecherous grin*

9:13 pm

Jacula

Wolfie - can't Mum join in with the story telling?

9:14 pm

Jacula

jilli - BEHAVE WOMAN!

9:14 pm

jillibus

why, jac?

9:15 pm

Jacula

Erm - dunno, jilli. Family site and all that?

9:16 pm

jillibus

;)

9:16 pm

GreyWoulf

Building family is what it is all about, Jac *sly grin*

9:16 pm

Jacula

ANyway, jilli, if Wolfie starts sounding like Barry (Crooner) White and his voice is so deep it vibrates through his wife's chair.... well, we'd better all leave the room. LOL.

9:16 pm

pam

Wow, dc.... this is me, LOL: simplistic, naÃ¯ve, starry-eyed, unrealistic, extremist, uncompromising, radical

9:17 pm

jillibus

attaboy woulfie! (remember that word from a grid or two ago?)

9:17 pm

Jacula

You two are incorrigible! LOL

9:17 pm

Ping

good for you, pam! i'm all for idealism!

9:18 pm

jillibus

Lead me to Barry White wot I ain't never heard of...

9:18 pm

GreyWoulf

Jac -- one of my appellations during my college days was "The everhopeful, incorrigible, encouragable romantic" ;-)

9:18 pm

Jacula

*Nips off to find typical Barry White trrack for jilli to listen to.*

9:19 pm

pam

8-) ping

9:19 pm

Jacula

Wolfie, I can believe that! BBS.

9:19 pm

GreyWoulf

mainly cos hopeless romantics are usually boring and pathetic

9:19 pm

Ping

pam, did you see my thank you below - about motherless brooklyn?

9:19 pm

jillibus

Oh yum to you woulfie!

9:20 pm

pam

No, ping, sorry, you know how I space in anad out of chat

9:21 pm

Jacula

jilli - Barry White (put your headphones on and turn the bass up!) http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=BXvHRnGe

9:22 pm

GreyWoulf

And I have to agree with an earlier comment that this grid is not as easy as it could be -- I am finding it to be positively beastly!

9:22 pm

Jacula

Here's another, jilli: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=-X-_OcmN

9:22 pm

herinfernallady

Hi

9:23 pm

dcseain

evening, lady

9:23 pm

GreyWoulf

good evening, lady

9:23 pm

Jacula

Wolfie - that's nonsense! The comment about hopeless romantics, I meant.

9:23 pm

Jacula

Hi, Herin.

9:23 pm

Ping

i'm really enjoying the book - that's all i said, pam

9:24 pm

GreyWoulf

Jac -- when they mature hopeless romantics are just fine, but when you are just out of your teens I stand by my statement

9:24 pm

herinfernallady

Hi back

9:24 pm

pam

Great, ping!!!!

9:24 pm

Jacula

Though I do have to admit that this Sinatra song probably best describes how I met Paul ;) http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=3uiLGNnm
9l8

9:25 pm

Jacula

(And we met on-line!)

9:25 pm

GreyWoulf

But there is a certain negative perspective related to being a hopeless romantic to me -- thus my twisting it to being everhopeful

9:25 pm

Jacula

Not on a dating site!

9:25 pm

jillibus

thanks, jac, I've saved tham and will tune in asap but right now there's a battle going on between babble, babblechat, Corrie (for another 5 minutes) and my need to have supper!

9:25 pm

herinfernallady

Jac is way too cute about your little one

9:25 pm

Jacula

jilli - what's for supper?

9:26 pm

Minveryork

Hi herinfernallady! How are you? Welcome to the grid

9:26 pm

Jacula

Thanks, herin. She looked like a little punk rocher when she was born, then changed to Betty Boop (dark hair and big eyes, just like her Mum but with her Dad's long eyelashes, damn him!) LOL

9:27 pm

Minveryork

Does anyone have a clue for the an 6/18 word please

9:27 pm

jillibus

Whoa, jac -- looong eyelashes!!!! Ooooh

9:27 pm

Jacula

rocker not rocher, whatever that is. LOL

9:27 pm

herinfernallady

Hi MIn

9:28 pm

herinfernallady

Jac that is still cute.

9:29 pm

Jacula

Paul has long eyelashes, too. Ex-hubby had fair eyelashes long enough for top and bottom sets to get tangled if he blinked wrong. GRRRRR! I've always wanted long eyelashes and high cheekbones. However, friend's Mum (who hadn't seen me for about 25 years till she saw me at her daughter's 2nd wedding last Saturday) told me I still looked 'just the same' and still had 'that cheeky grin' so that's cheered me up.:D

9:30 pm

Jacula

an6/18 is to spread oil upon a body.

9:31 pm

herinfernallady

Jac that will cheer anyone up

9:31 pm

Minveryork

Thank you for the an6/18 clue. I just found the word

9:31 pm

jillibus

jac, you won't approve of supper -- a deli pastiche of roast turkey, stuffing, mushroom gravy, roasted veggies, mashed spuds, which takes about 3 minutes in the (horror!) microwave so I can enjoy not cooking

9:32 pm

Jacula

LOL, jilli. I knew you'd say that.

9:32 pm

herinfernallady

OH Jill yummy

9:32 pm

Jacula

Herin - indeed it would. Did me, anyway!

9:33 pm

herinfernallady

I have not given up on the gym but i have

9:33 pm

Jacula

jilli - getting something from a deli is a little different to buying one of those freezer centre micro meals in a box.

9:34 pm

Jacula

Seen my new flickr pics of the wedding, herin?

9:34 pm

herinfernallady

looking now

9:34 pm

Jacula

I don't have a wonky leg in the one of me embarking on the boat... I just have one leg crossed over the other.

9:35 pm

jillibus

LOL jac, and Roy and Haley's caff just got burnt, wherewith I shall leave to warm up supper and let you explain that to the lot *cackle*

9:35 pm

herinfernallady

Jac whos wedding was it sorry?

9:35 pm

Jacula

Heck, jilli - I remember it happening but that's all I remember.

9:36 pm

maddline1

any help with the ors?

9:37 pm

Minveryork

I'm stopping at 90 words! Thank you all for the clues!

9:37 pm

Jacula

Herin - It was one of my old schoolfriends. 2nd wedding second wedding of an old schoolfriend I've been to this year. Weird thing was, 1st was Sheila and Gary and 2nd was Sue & Guy. Things come in threes so I am not wondering which of my other old schoolfriends whose name begins with 'S' is going to marry a man with a 'G'. LOL

9:38 pm

jillibus

Well, jac, you can have the pleasure of explaining Roy and Haley :)

9:38 pm

Minveryork

Goodnight to my fellow babblers!I'll see you tomorrow

9:38 pm

herinfernallady

Night Min

9:38 pm

lbdawger

night Min, hi everyone

9:38 pm

herinfernallady

Herin yes they do

9:38 pm

Jacula

madd - all 3 or words begin with the Tolkein character or a whale.

9:38 pm

GreyWoulf

Farewell, Min - have a great night!

9:38 pm

jillibus

Night Min!!! Hope you had fun!

9:38 pm

Jacula

'Night, Min.

9:39 pm

Jacula

Hi dawger. You were in the grid a couple of days or so ago. Not allowed though!

9:39 pm

jillibus

Well placed apostrophe, jac - lol

9:39 pm

GreyWoulf

hey lbd -- how's things?

9:39 pm

herinfernallady

OH boy i stuffed up

9:39 pm

Jacula

jilli - Oh! Thank you so much! How does one explain a nerd with a shopping bag who is married to a woman who was once a man?

9:40 pm

lbdawger

Hey Woulfie! things are cold here! how about you?

9:40 pm

jillibus

Hehe, jac :D

9:40 pm

maddline1

Jacula found the 7 and 8 thnx

9:41 pm

jillibus

ttfn (still short of half way)

9:41 pm

maddline1

just found the other :)

9:41 pm

GreyWoulf

too stinkin' warm around here!! I should not be able to take the trash out at midnight while wearing just a t-shirt and pajama pants

9:42 pm

Jacula

Ignore that jilli woman! She's just trying to leave me in deep sh**!

9:42 pm

herinfernallady

SOrry i meant Jac

9:42 pm

Jacula

Short or long pyjama pants, wolfie?

9:43 pm

Jacula

Just want a clear picture for the log. LOL

9:43 pm

Jacula

herin - I guessed that.

9:43 pm

GreyWoulf

I also blame the fluctuating temps for my cold and laryngitis -- if it would just stay chilly like it is supposed to, I would be fine

(Jac - long)

9:44 pm

Jacula

Spoilsport, wolfie! LOL

9:44 pm

GreyWoulf

...but short sleeves on the shirt

9:44 pm

herinfernallady

I am a little bit brain fried. I tried to do the Body Balance class and i lasted 10 min before my knee craped out

9:44 pm

lbdawger

i'm afraid you'd have pneumonia here Woulfie. although currently it's 33Â°F.

9:44 pm

Jacula

Do you have the arms of Ronon Dex, Wolfie? (SG-Atlantis, as though I need to tell you!)

9:45 pm

GreyWoulf

Yayyy, I finally have reached the halfway point! It should not have taken me an hour to find 55 words... even with all the chatting I have been doing

9:45 pm

lbdawger

blame it on the cold you have or the laryngitis...can't say the words to make them go to the grid.

9:46 pm

Jacula

Okay, sitting up straight now and not being silly any longer. I finished hours ago and so I can clue, if anyone wants.

9:46 pm

GreyWoulf

That would require me having the ability to work out without impinging on family time, Jac -- maybe in another year or so

9:46 pm

Jacula

LOL, okay Wolfie.

9:47 pm

herinfernallady

LB thats too cold

9:48 pm

lbdawger

the windchill is 29Â°F. it's a good reason to stay inside!

9:48 pm

herinfernallady

LB thats brass monkey and fur garter weather

9:48 pm

Jacula

Dunno if MrP and Lickety will use ALL of my firework theme videos for the lickety list (which I don't use and only see in catch ups re the vids later) but if they use them in the order I sent them they may be a little heavily weighted on the Ronon Dex (Jason Momoa) side. LOL

9:50 pm

Jacula

Mind you, my icon pic of Jason in the sea is certainly good for slowing up the ladies on finishing a grid when I haven't finished yet. I just chat a lot. LOL

9:50 pm

GreyWoulf

lbd -- having the nights go to freezing and the days linger in the 40's would be just perfect for me -- that would actually let me get better faster for being consistent

9:50 pm

Jacula

It's quite mild in the day at present here in UK, but when the sun goes down about 5pm it goes really cold.

9:51 pm

Jacula

Not cold a la Canadian/US temps though.

9:51 pm

lbdawger

i like the nights to be cold, good snuggle under the covers and sound sleeping weather. unfortunately, it makes getting out of bed all that much harder.

9:51 pm

GreyWoulf

Last night the temps actually starting rising overnight -- midnight was 5 degrees warmer than at sunset

9:52 pm

herinfernallady

Oh and im sick of my knee being a bitch thus im going to the gym

9:52 pm

lbdawger

I'm sure this front will be heading your way Woulfie. Stidmama sent it to me, and i gladly send it on

9:53 pm

mymuseisme

Hi everyone

9:53 pm

Any more clues needed?

10:06 pm

tygerbryght

10:06 pm

tygerbryght

wow, jac

10:06 pm

Jacula

Wow, what, tyger? What did I do/say?

10:07 pm

tygerbryght

jilli would have said "snap" because we were saying basically the same thing. are you usually up at "0 dark thirty" like this?

10:08 pm

Jacula

Oh, right. We say 'snap!' here in UK, like the card game.

10:08 pm

tygerbryght

I'm used to seeing you in the afternoon or early evening (western hemisphere time)

10:09 pm

tygerbryght

well, jilli is a brit - originally, ennywho

10:09 pm

renfield

marc! hey how are you doing? hows the business? hows the retired rabbi?

10:09 pm

Jacula

Well, tyger, I was unwell on Monday night and went to bed early and stayed there for about 12 hours. Not tired come Tuesday night, hence me being awake on Weds morn at 4.09am.

10:10 pm

tygerbryght

that explains it

10:10 pm

Jacula

Ren - you're back. Have you finished the grid yet?

10:10 pm

renfield

actually the mistress stays up all night and rests all day...until sundown that is :)

10:10 pm

tygerbryght

LOL

10:11 pm

renfield

yes i did mistress

10:11 pm

herinfernallady

HI RENIIIIIE

10:11 pm

Jacula

Tee hee, Ren. Many people don't make that connection between Jacula and Renfield, methinks. They see you call me 'mistress' and are too polite to ask why.

10:11 pm

renfield

herin!!!

10:12 pm

Jacula

Congrats on finishing the grid ren. That's not bad going for an insect eating crawler!

10:12 pm

herinfernallady

Oh my gosh i just realised your frecking reference

10:14 pm

10:14 pm

Jacula

Oh dear, Ren! Do you think I may have just dispelled lots of lesbian/s&M and gawd knows what else images?

10:15 pm

herinfernallady

No i was just trying to work it out and i knew that it had nothing to do with that

10:15 pm

Jacula

Well... they only think they know!

10:15 pm

Jacula

LOL

10:16 pm

renfield

you need to post your mistress of the dark icon!

10:16 pm

tygerbryght

don't know the literature/movie involved, but I do recognize literary references when they bop me on the head. :D

10:16 pm

Jacula

I do, Ren! I used to use that and my Kira (cat one) all the time, didn't I?

10:17 pm

Jacula

Yes, Bram Stoker, tyger.

10:17 pm

renfield

yes mistress! those are great icons

10:19 pm

Jacula

I just said that, herin.

10:19 pm

tygerbryght

unless she's using Greenwich time

10:19 pm

renfield

or a time clock?

10:19 pm

tygerbryght

which isn't very reasonable, on t'other side of the globe

10:20 pm

tygerbryght

nearly all time clocks use it, too

10:20 pm

Jacula

I am in UK and the time is 4.19am pip, pip, pip.

10:20 pm

tygerbryght

as ren said

10:20 pm

renfield

how are the wee ones ping? when are you guys out for the holidays?

10:24 pm

Jacula

I awas looking at the pics of MrP and Lickety's house on the estate agent's site the other day... how hard it must be to have all your clutter packed up, try to keep every particle of dust out of the house AND still live there with kids, as a family. As for the decorating everything neutral and giving incoming buyers nibbles and room-explanation cards... I have to be profane here. FU** OFF! If you do not have the imagination or the get up and go to see the potential of my home or the umph to want to make it your own, then you are not the one I want to buy my home.

hi harp

Jacula

What is it with all these unimaginitive home buyers? Do they not want to make their mark on a house to make it their own? That was half the fun of it when we were buying homes. Still is!

Hi Tyger, DR

Hi Ping

tygerbryght

when you're spending the money to buy, you can do what you please - if you have the imagination to "please", I guess

10:31 pm

tygerbryght

clues? (see if it doubles this time)

10:31 pm

GreyWoulf

Making your mark on your home is one thing, Jac -- having to remove someone elses mark first (and the related expense) before doing so is what buyers seek to avoid these days

10:31 pm

Jacula

tyger - was it yu who mentioned a 2-roomed apt when MrP first put up the pics of her spacious home?

10:32 pm

tygerbryght

no

mrp's moving from the tree house?

10:32 pm

10:33 pm

Well, all I can say is that I am glad I was born in late 50s and so got to know music before that (right back to 20s) and I think I am priviledged to have had my heyday in 60s and 70s when the most innovative music was being made (and in the time when the term 'teenager' was coined).

I had a supracervical hysterectomy 35 years ago. I am under continuous care of a GYN. I get a pelvic ultrasound annually

11:20 pm

Well, that's the best you can do, tyger!

11:21 pm

tygerbryght

11:38 pm

Jacula

My GP (local doc) recommended some 10 years ago that I should have womb, fallopian tubes and cervix removed... 'Your're 40 now, after all! Do you want any more kids? No? Well then get the lot taken out because your ovaries will only wither and die if you don't! Best to have it all taken out anyway! Who knows what will decide to turn cancerous?' Well, he had a point, I know, but I chose to ignore him, and anyway, the surgeion who was supposed to performm that, had I agreed to it, suddenly died, at 57.

11:38 pm
