12:50 am

herinfernallady

12:50 am

FranMag

FranMag

12:52 am

mymuseisme

12:52 am

FranMag

if you don't see it on that page, type "babblers worldwide" into the search box

12:52 am

herinfernallady

Fran a gollywog is a black doll with frizzy hair. Its called a Golly now as its rather unPC to use the wog bit. Now the interesting thing is is MIster Gollywog was a Dutch doll that had all these wonderful adventures.

12:53 am

herinfernallady

The reason he was black was he was a chimney sweep

12:53 am

FranMag

yes muse, the list on the left is to show you what your friend(s) are up to.

12:54 am

FranMag

that's interesting infernal, it's that PC thing again. *sigh*

12:54 am

mymuseisme

ok I'm in the "site"

12:54 am

FranMag

scroll down to the members box and see if you can find her there.

12:55 am

herinfernallady

Now to me this site is complete bullcrap as the Golliwog was a friendly man

12:55 am

herinfernallady

http://www.ferris.edu/jimcrow/golliwog
/

12:55 am

herinfernallady

THis is about the golliwog as a racist thing.

12:56 am

mymuseisme

12:56 am

herinfernallady

The thing was once again something innocent was twisted into something that wasn't

12:57 am

stidmama

12:57 am

herinfernallady

1:10 am

FranMag

1:10 am

FranMag

that's for external search engines

1:10 am

FranMag

if you set your search to "everyone" that should be enough

1:10 am

mymuseisme

Ok I bet feather has the same thing going on

1:10 am

herinfernallady

8:00 am

Anniebrook

8:00 am

Scrabbler

TY so much, Annie.

8:00 am

Scrabbler

The Blessing of Unanswered Prayers
I asked for strength that I might achieve;
I was made weak that I might learn humbly to obey.

I asked for health that I might do greater things;
I was given infirmity that I might do better things.

I asked for riches that I might be happy;
I was given poverty that I might be wise.

I asked for power that I might have the praise of men;
I was given weakness that I might feel the need of God.

I asked for all things that I might enjoy life;
I was given life that I might enjoy all things.

I got nothing that I had asked for,
but everything that I had hoped for.

Almost despite myself my unspoken prayers were answered;
I am, among all men, most richly blessed.

- Unknown Confederate soldier

8:01 am

I discovered this when I was searching for Thanksgiving Day prayers and I LOVE it so much that I am sharing it with everyone.

9:55 am

montreal13

onward to sudoku then --- "POOF"

9:56 am

Queenruejean

And I will finally wander away too. Laundry awaits. What fun! Take care all.

9:57 am

skheiny

Shoot, Queen...thanks...guess I can't keep up reading the chatter...too busy staring into space...I mean the board ;-)

9:58 am

skheiny

Thanks for your help! Have a good night Q

9:58 am

Queenruejean

You're welcome, SK. Do you need any before I go?

9:59 am

skheiny

Actually yes. 3 of the 4 "r"s...not the"pay" one

10:00 am

Queenruejean

Okay, the re4/4 are similar. One is a spelling for King, I believe. And the other has a double vowel in the middle. The ry is a type of bread, pluralized.

10:01 am

skheiny

duh...bread...thx, will work hard for the others, thx

10:01 am

Queenruejean

With the king one, think "I am, you are, she ** " for the ending.

10:02 am

Queenruejean

And both end in the same letter.

10:02 am

skheiny

geat clue on "king"!!!

10:03 am

Queenruejean

Glad it helped, SK. Remember the other one is a double vowel, so you already have the first one built in.

10:04 am

skheiny

got 'em all thx so much...I might actually finish one of the darn things! HAHA

10:04 am

Queenruejean

Good luck! If i can help anymore I'm really in no rush to do laundry!

10:05 am

skheiny

well..lets see..plz let me gather my biz (you're so kind to put off laundry for me ;-) )

10:06 am

Queenruejean

Yeah, I'm being noble, not lazy! That's it! :)

10:07 am

skheiny

2nd "d"...not de4/8

10:08 am

CadFan

do 4/11

10:08 am

Anniebrook

de + hi **

10:08 am

skheiny

sure...missing a 6

10:08 am

Uniquity

do - ends with double consonant

10:09 am

Anniebrook

do ---remove hat in greeting

10:09 am

Queenruejean

I'm not sure if you want the other de4/8 or the do4/11. do is to tip your hat. Ends in the opposite of on.

10:09 am

Anniebrook

I'm back for a while

10:09 am

Uniquity

2nd de - to be good with the hands (i believe)

10:09 am

skheiny

do 4/11...got that

10:10 am

Queenruejean

the de that Annie didn't clue means capable. If you are good at something you are de**

10:10 am

skheiny

got that de...still clueless :-)

10:10 am

Anniebrook

the other de has to do with stereo...the old type--hi **

10:11 am

Queenruejean

Or think of the word that means disobey & replace the last letter with a vowel.

10:11 am

skheiny

thx Annie!

10:12 am

Anniebrook

yw, sk

10:12 am

skheiny

OK, ya'll are great...I've got 9 left...never finished a puzzle so I'm kinda psyched :-)

10:13 am

Queenruejean

Go, SK, go!

10:13 am

Anniebrook

what do you need, sk?

10:13 am

Uniquity

I've been done for a few hours, so I'll try to help clue :)

10:13 am

Anniebrook

we are here to help you, go, sk, go!

10:14 am

Anniebrook

Finished too early, now I have to do productive things, arrrgghhh

10:14 am

skheiny

missing the bottom "a"...got the ai's and the "throat clearing"...what am I missing (if you can decipher my great hints ;-) )

10:15 am

Anniebrook

ae---bird's home

10:15 am

Queenruejean

An alternate spelling for an eagles nest.

10:15 am

Anniebrook

ae 4/6

10:15 am

Uniquity

Sounds like when there is a lot of space in a room...
Or the ending for an olden style little magical creature.
Or...ae + **e bread

10:16 am

Queenruejean

Good clues, Uniquity.

10:16 am

skheiny

Ya;ll ROCK! thx

10:16 am

skheiny

ok, next...

10:17 am

Anniebrook

which is.....

10:17 am

skheiny

"c"...I think it's one of the 5s?

10:17 am

Uniquity

there are no c 5s...there is a 6, is that it?

10:18 am

skheiny

sorry, don't know how to clue it better

10:18 am

Uniquity

If so, it is the 4,6 + two vowels.

10:18 am

Anniebrook

co 4/6 and another 2 vowels

10:18 am

Anniebrook

there is no co 5's

10:18 am

Queenruejean

There is no c 5. The 6 is the co4/6 plus 2 vowels.

10:18 am

skheiny

got the 6...shoot...

10:18 am

Queenruejean

I think there's an echo in here. :)

10:18 am

Uniquity

LOL. Great minds..

10:18 am

Anniebrook

we are all of the same mind....echo...echo...

10:19 am

Anniebrook

c + not on

10:19 am

Uniquity

Cs: two co4/6, one co6/24, one co4/11, one co4/8
Of those which do you have?

10:19 am

Anniebrook

co 4/6---boy and girl dorm

10:19 am

skheiny

not good at this...got 2 co4/6, a 6/24 and a co4/11...what am I missing

10:20 am

Uniquity

co + I o**en get confused at babble clues

10:20 am

Queenruejean

co4/8 c + ***en (frequently)

10:20 am

Anniebrook

you need a co 4/8----c + (pick up line) "do you come here ***en?

10:22 am

skheiny

LOL great clue from everyone...it's been awhile sonce I've heard I pick up line, but hey, evidently it still works!

10:23 am

Anniebrook

10:23 am

AsGreen

I'm back for a bit - coffee in hand

10:23 am

Anniebrook

hi asg

10:24 am

Queenruejean

Hi Asg.

10:24 am

skheiny

true that Annie! hmm "g"...not gi4/9 or the 6/36

10:25 am

skheiny

OMG 7 left...this is truly a record!!

10:25 am

Anniebrook

gi + ** Harris, the actor?

10:25 am

Queenruejean

gi + special **ucation.

10:25 am

Uniquity

I figure you don't need my third this time :)

10:26 am

skheiny

FAB! (gonna look that one up later LOL)

10:26 am

Anniebrook

Uni, was waiting for your clue :)

10:26 am

Uniquity

I think the selection is already perfect!

10:26 am

skheiny

ok..."t"...gee...how can I clue this short? plz hold for a sec

10:27 am

skheiny

the more the merrier uni...I can use soooo much help it's not funny! LOL

10:27 am

Anniebrook

sk....is it ti 7 ----Breakfast at Ti*****, Capote's short story

10:28 am

skheiny

got that annie ;-)

10:28 am

Uniquity

the first four letters of the seven are a word on their own

10:28 am

Anniebrook

ti ----a spat,--ends in double consonant

10:29 am

Anniebrook

Uni, great clue

10:29 am

Queenruejean

te4/10 ends the same as the ti4/10

10:29 am

Uniquity

There is also what a clock tells you (the ti**), past tense of one who tells it, plural of the past tense AND plural of the original four letter word. (Bit confusing, I know)

10:29 am

skheiny

I've got that and 2 4/5s, a 4/10, 2 5/12s and its 6/21

10:30 am

Anniebrook

the rest of the ti's have to do with seconds, minutes, hours..etc

10:30 am

Queenruejean

And I would clue the ti4/5 but I'm all ti** up right now.

10:30 am

Anniebrook

Uni spells it out perfectly

10:30 am

skheiny

sorry my reesponses come slow...I'm visit Russia

10:30 am

Anniebrook

that takes care of the T's

10:30 am

skheiny

so does my typing LOL

10:31 am

Queenruejean

Sounds like you may be missing the te I clued earlier.

10:31 am

Uniquity

skheiny - it is a pleasure to clue, especially to someone so excited to finish. Your response time is irrelevant (but fine!)

10:31 am

skheiny

Q = yeah, I totally missed that..is it out of reach? What time clock

10:32 am

skheiny

babble chatter goes so fast...

10:32 am

Anniebrook

sk ---you just "said" a Y word that is in the grid

10:32 am

skheiny

ryone for your help

10:32 am

Queenruejean

I agree with Uni.

10:33 am

Queenruejean

Not with me! My computer is the old Fisher Price model with the coal chute on the side. It's sloooow.

10:34 am

Uniquity

Lol @ ruejean...I have my two year old devoted lappy. Supposed to be writing a paper right now, but this is much better!

10:35 am

Queenruejean

Uni, you could write a paper on how to clue in Babble??

10:35 am

Anniebrook

Yes, she could and get an A

10:35 am

Queenruejean

SK, did you get the T you were missing?

10:36 am

Uniquity

I don't think my history prof. would be too impressed...if only I got credit for babble!

Let us know what you need sk, I'll try to be more comprehensive if necessary

10:36 am

AsGreen

omg that was AWFUL!!! : I closed the tab by mistake and couldn't get back in!! whew, I'm back

10:36 am

skheiny

Shoot...so many clues...pretty sure it's the "te" but I think the clues "runnoft" (from my fav movie)

10:37 am

Queenruejean

The te ends in a double consonant. Same as the ti4/10

10:37 am

Uniquity

!!! I just watched O Brother the other night!!!

10:37 am

Anniebrook

te + double consonant

10:37 am

skheiny

LUV IT!!! George Clooney...mmmmm

10:38 am

Queenruejean

Welcome back, Asg. :)

10:38 am

Uniquity

Man, showed it to two people who had never een it before...caught a few more things I had missed in my dozens of viewings. SO GOOD!

10:38 am

Anniebrook

Queenruejean

Pooh on SK's husband!

10:40 am

Uniquity

O Brother has been one of my fave movies (and soundtracks) for years. LoriP also agrees....but I think we are too much alike now!!!

10:40 am

Anniebrook

pooh, pooh

10:40 am

Uniquity

Sk's husband needs to try this for himself, I fear...

10:40 am

skheiny

BIG TIME POOH! 2 letters left...M and H...

10:40 am

Anniebrook

do you have slangy yes?

10:40 am

skheiny

Anniebrook

10:41 am

Anniebrook

10:41 am

Anniebrook

10:41 am

Queenruejean

There is a 4/9 that rhymes with a rude, icky person.

10:41 am

skheiny

10:42 am

Uniquity

take mi4/11 and add the sometimes vowel

10:42 am

skheiny

10:42 am

Queenruejean

Sure, we can't hear it enough. :)

10:42 am

Anniebrook

10:43 am

skheiny

I hate birds...need more :-)

10:44 am

Uniquity

It ends like the musical group Sha ** ** **.

10:44 am

Uniquity

my + babbies take **ps (and lucky grownups do too)

10:46 am

Anniebrook

forgive me Queen...hy + sha ** ** **

10:47 am

Queenruejean

Yes, I finally realized I put in one too many **'s

10:47 am

skheiny

LOL...if I tell ya'll hat the cle that made the most sense was the Sha ** ** clue...does that "date" me too badly? ;-(

10:47 am

Anniebrook

me too

10:47 am

Anniebrook

nah!

10:47 am

Queenruejean

Not at all. They are still touring!

10:48 am

skheiny

10:48 am

Anniebrook

gi 4/9 --Christmas gi**

10:49 am

Anniebrook

Past tense of gi 4/9

10:49 am

Uniquity

gi - another word for present (also take that four letter and past tense it)

10:49 am

Uniquity

gi + Mister ** (a horse)

10:49 am

Anniebrook

gi + ** Harris, the actor, again

10:50 am

Anniebrook

and that's all the G's

10:50 am

skheiny

OMG...I'll run out of time b4 I get a clue myself...Ineed H's

10:50 am

skheiny

got ha4/6

10:51 am

Queenruejean

The h's - ha4/6 is a pork product with a vowel inserted in the 3rd space. The next two ha4/5's start the same but end in different consonants. The two he4/5 both start the same. Look at he*, she is flying! The two hi's are past tense of to hurry and also the plural. And finally hy, is a song in a church.

10:51 am

skheiny

t ha4/5 (2)

10:51 am

10:52 am

Anniebrook

ha + **, the extraterrestial (sp?)

10:52 am

Queenruejean

Well, I thought she already had the g's so I was working on the h's. That's why I didn't clue any g's. Not so fast after all.

10:52 am

Anniebrook

not his but he**

10:52 am

skheiny

ha4/6; ha4/5, he4/5. hy'4/8

10:53 am

Anniebrook

10:53 am

skheiny

sorry, couldn't keep up w/chatter...(reviewing)

10:54 am

Queenruejean

10:54 am

skheiny

11:14 am

Dispatch

any hints on the y words?

11:14 am

Queenruejean

Allright Asg!! You are moving right along!

11:15 am

skheiny

80%!!! I'm jealous...I'm gonna have to pay fat delivery charges for last minute gift buying...I've got a 4 day window from USSR to Philly to see my sister

11:15 am

Queenruejean

The first y is a slangy form of yes. The second rhymes with a rude person. Like you might yell "What a J***!"

11:15 am

AsGreen

omg - 2 left!

11:16 am

Dispatch

queen, you are the greatest! thanks!

11:16 am

skheiny

Q - you are just so good/too fast. One day I want to be you ;-)

11:16 am

Queenruejean

You're welcome, Dispatch.

11:16 am

Dispatch

wow SK, I didn't think about the delivery charges. I bet they are steap!

11:17 am

Queenruejean

One day I want to be just like me, too! Wonder if I will?

11:17 am

Dispatch

11:17 am

AsGreen

11:18 am

Dispatch

11:19 am

Queenruejean

Happy shopping, ASG. And Happy Channukah!

11:20 am

skheiny

But I am trying to "weasel" with my US address, but some web sites are too smart..they know I'm in Russia and won't take my US infor :-(

11:21 am

skheiny

oh, it's Xmas/Channukah...time to splurge on the ones we love...right!?!

11:22 am

Dispatch

RIGHT

11:23 am

Queenruejean

No splurging for me this year. Can't even afford to send cards. :(

11:23 am

Dispatch

oh my, got that silly i word!

11:23 am

Queenruejean

If you need any clues on any, Dispatch, I'll be here a bit longer.

11:23 am

momof5

I'm down to my last two: CO6/24 and FA5/20. Clues, anyone?

11:24 am

Dispatch

lol...the fa is your bum

11:24 am

momof5

TY!

11:24 am

Queenruejean

Co is the 4/6 plus two vowels.

11:24 am

Dispatch

and the co is the first co 4/6 plus 2 vowels

11:25 am

Queenruejean

Good one, Dispatch. I forgot there were two co4/6. Bad llama.

11:25 am

Dispatch

clue for the e from the 4th column please?

11:25 am

momof5

TY, TY! Fireworks for me

11:25 am

Dispatch

hooray mom!!!

11:25 am

Queenruejean

Congrats to Momof5!! Woo Hoo.

11:26 am

momof5

E is a very scary word

11:26 am

Dispatch

thanks mom, but that's from the corner

11:26 am

Dispatch

i have the ed and the ee

11:26 am

skheiny

Q - let's chat...can I help? Is there 1 someone you'd like to do for? Really; I'd LOVE to help if I can...lemme know...SERIOUSLY!

11:26 am

Queenruejean

Dispatch, it means to give off something. Like you em** sunshine in your smile.

11:27 am

Dispatch

oh my! thanks queen

11:27 am

Queenruejean

Thanks, SK. It's fine. My husband's family doesn't do gifts & it's no big deal. Just a bad year.

11:27 am

Queenruejean

You are welcome Dispatch.

11:28 am

Dispatch

and to think i had the r5 but not the e4

11:28 am

Dispatch

i do that silly stuff all the time!

11:28 am

Queenruejean

I do that too often, Dispatch.

11:29 am

skheiny

Hey, we've all had those...but somehow, somewhere, something good can happen...LEMME KNOW! (may a small gift for a child?)

11:29 am

Dispatch

i'm depending on you now, queen. how about a clue for my missing s? i have the looker and the big truck

11:29 am

Queenruejean

Oh sure, SK. My husband & I consider our love a gift to one another & life is really good. As long as we are together. That's enough.

11:30 am

Queenruejean

Well, Dispatch, it se**s to me that you may be missing the se4/5.

11:30 am

Dispatch

queen you are truly an inspiration with your attitude. you both are fortunate to have each other

11:30 am

Dispatch

here i go again with a simple word that I just can't see. ugh!

11:31 am

skheiny

OK, than I will say a prayer that my husband and I have the gifts that you 2 do!

11:31 am

Queenruejean

We think so. I always say God saw two pathetic souls & put us together. We've been married 27 years.

11:31 am

Babs1

clues for the f's in the 3rd row??

11:31 am

skheiny

Love is the greatest gift after all

11:32 am

Dispatch

makes me somewhat embarrassed to ask for my last word...an m. but i really do have to get the housecleaning finished!!! it's a 4. i have me4/9 and mi4/5

11:32 am

Queenruejean

Babs, the 5 letter is your butt. The other is the beginning of the second one, but with a vowel on the end. 4/7

11:32 am

Dispatch

well, the f5 is your bum, and the f4 is fa + opposite of yes

11:33 am

Babs1

Thanks, queen, but looking for those in the 3rd row...

11:33 am

skheiny

OMG! We've been married only one year (after many failed attempts - cumulative) and we're so thankful we've finally found each other...that is THE GIFT!!

11:34 am

Queenruejean

There is a mi4/11 which is like you are angry wiht someone. And a my 4/7 that is a talking bird.

11:34 am

72 Temple Owl

this grid is a little stinker....

11:34 am

Dispatch

oh sorry babs, i clued the 3rd column!

11:34 am

Queenruejean

Me too, Dispatch. Were either of those m's what you needed?

11:34 am

Dispatch

i need the mi4/7

11:35 am

harpjane

hello

11:35 am

Dispatch

but not sure what the bird is

11:35 am

jeanne314

skheiny -- where in russia are you??? I have a friend from Siberia sitting beside me who is getting more words out of this puzzle than I am ... cheers, Jeanne

11:35 am

skheiny

this grid is one of the stinkiest ever! but I finished (for the first time!!) with the help of the many wonderful babblers

11:35 am

pbr

morning..any help for the ai5 and ai6

11:35 am

Queenruejean

There isn't an mi4/7. And my 4/7 or an mi4/11 or 4/5.

11:35 am

Dispatch

babs: 3rd ROW f's: fe + just ** it!

11:35 am

72 Temple Owl

11:37 am

pbr

Queen------thank 7 more to go.

11:37 am

Queenruejean

Dispatch, okay. It's a talking bird. But also ends in Sha ** **.

11:37 am

jeanne314

Oh!!! My friend greets you by way of Novokuznetsk!!!! What in the world are you doing in Krasnoyarsk??? How cold is it for you (Alex hopes you have warm underwear!!!!) Jeanne

11:37 am

Queenruejean

Good, Dispatch.

11:37 am

jeanne314

I just saw yer FRICKIN COLD!!!! I bet! J.

11:38 am

Dispatch

and babs, the other fe4 is like an accomplishment. it was a tremendous fe**!

11:38 am

Queenruejean

Babs, the other f in the 3rd row is a celebration. FE4/7

11:38 am

Babs1

Thanks, Queen...got 'em!

11:39 am

Dispatch

I thank you all for your wonderful clues! I must go now and get my housework done!! Enjoy your day everyone!

11:39 am

skheiny

my husband is an electrical engineer...oil/gas industry...he goes to crazy new start up places...and this is one...He's been to 80 countries! Since we've been married (for 1 year) I've been to 5!!!

11:39 am

Queenruejean

Congrats, Dispatch!

11:39 am

skheiny

Crazy life, but I love my man, so I follow...even to where hell freezes over LOL!

11:39 am

harpjane

this grid has a lot of high scoring words, for such a dinky puzzle!

11:40 am

Queenruejean

SK, it's neat that you get to travel with him. For the first 15 years of our marriage, my husband was in the Navy. I couldn't go with him. Wouldn't fit in the seabag. :(

11:42 am

jeanne314

Wow! what a way to see the world!!! I did 20 in the Air Force (it's how I learned a little Russian), but I never traveled like you!!!! I bet you've got a good sense of adventure (after you recover from the jet lag, of course)...and yes, when the love is there you'll go anywhere!!!!! Schastlivo!

11:42 am

Babs1

I have 4 co 4's..wondering what I might be still missing for the 5th c?

11:42 am

skheiny

LOL Q - I barely fit in the plane seat from Moscow to Kras...folks are shorter than me here on average (but I'm 6' so thats not saying much)

11:42 am

harpjane

wow, i live in montana and every now and then i go to idaho or wyoming. i don't even have a current passport any more!

11:42 am

pbr

one more re5/12 hlp..pl and ty

11:43 am

pbr

nevermind, I just found it...

11:43 am

Queenruejean

Babs, You could be missing the 4/8 c + ***en. (Frequently)

11:44 am

skheiny

Love is everything isn't Jeanne! My sense of lust for new food and architecture gives me the drive...USSR has amazing buildings, but sadly I see many landmarks being torn down for "western progress"

11:45 am

Babs1

hmm.. i have 1 co 4/8--are there 2?

11:45 am

Queenruejean

Or maybe co4/11. C + the opposite of on. Nope, just one 4/8

11:46 am

Niamh

hello all!
babs, maybe the co 6/24?

11:46 am

Babs1

I've 2 co 4/6, 1 4/11, and 1 4/8...

11:46 am

skheiny

LOL Harp...that was me too, TX to OK/LA/AR...this country has sooo many beautiful features...see/appreciate what you can...I never imagined I'd see so much...it's all beautiful...this world is glorious!!!!!

11:47 am

Babs1

thanks, Niamh...looking now..

11:47 am

Queenruejean

Yes, I think it's the co6. That is the first co4/6 plus two vowels on the end.

11:47 am

pabtrek

what does the 7 start with please

11:47 am

Queenruejean

7 starts with Ti, Pabtrek.

11:47 am

Babs1

Thanks, Queen...got it!

11:47 am

Sandieangel

Hi all - just got fireworks - too short a grid today!!!!

11:48 am

Queenruejean

Congrats, Sandieangel!

11:48 am

Niamh

I agree sandie, 9 left and I just started

11:48 am

Sandieangel

Pabtrek - think of breakfast at ti*****s

11:48 am

Babs1

Thanks for the 7, Queen....how about the e word in the first column?

11:49 am

Sandieangel

Now what am I going to do with the rest of my evening! I may need to do something useful! gasp.

11:49 am

pabtrek

thanks queen and Sandie

11:49 am

Queenruejean

Babs, it's weird. ED + ** you know the way to San Jose.

11:50 am

pabtrek

ugh, forget that horrible thing was my icon, must change

11:50 am

Niamh

I had a 5 day weekend, I was hoping for a lazy babble day at work... still hoping for the lazy part!

11:50 am

Babs1

thanks, again! Queen...

11:50 am

Queenruejean

Now, now, Sandie. Don't get rash. There's always something to do other than useful things!

11:50 am

Queenruejean

You're welcome, Babs. Sorry Pabtrek, I thought you just wanted the starting letters, not a clue. Dense.

11:51 am

Sandieangel

May need to slouch in front of the TV then Queen!!!!

11:51 am

pabtrek

that's okay, any kind of help is appreciated

11:51 am

Babs1

how about the e on the bottom row right corner?

11:51 am

Queenruejean

It's an alternate spelling of weird, creepy.

11:52 am

jeanne314

One has to bring a lot of "internal" energy to really enjoy the good things in life...I've never been bored anywhere, anytime in my life...but it takes work sometimes to learn about a place. Interestingly, my friend Alex was an electrical engineer there...the codes are quite a bit different!!! Do you have employment there??? Sorry for all the questions, but curiosity has yet to kill this cat. Do you speak Russian??? J.

11:52 am

Babs1

Thanks...duh! don't usually attempt to finish...but since this one is so short, thought I'd give it a go, but as you can see, not so self-sufficient in finding them all!

11:53 am

Queenruejean

No problem, Babs. We all need help sometimes.

11:54 am

pabtrek

ky

11:54 am

Babs1

usually I can get 30% and then I start getting stuck so go on to other things in my life! 7 left today just now...looking for one more g--got the 2 involving presents. and 3 more h's have ha 4/5, he 4/5, hi4/5 and hy 4/8..

11:54 am

jeanne314

Oh, and Alex wants to know if you have swum in the Enisej River yet...break the ice!!!! J.

11:54 am

pabtrek

sorry don't know why that happened

11:55 am

Queenruejean

Babs, the other g is gi4/7. GI + special **ucation.

11:56 am

pabtrek

Babs i have another ha4/5 and he4/5 and an hi4/6

11:57 am

Babs1

thanks, pab, just got the he 4/5... will look for the others

11:57 am

pabtrek

yw Babs

11:57 am

Queenruejean

There is an HA 4/6 which ends with Auntie **. The HA4/5s start the same. One ends with "I ** something that didn't agree with me."

11:58 am

Queenruejean

The hi 4/5 is the plural of to hurry. ANd the hy is a song sung in church.

11:58 am

pabtrek

thanks for that ha4/6 queen

11:58 am

Queenruejean

You're welcome, Pabtrek.

11:58 am

skheiny

myhusband John says that they seem to be in the 1970's as far as "codes"...35+ people have died on the sight due to inexperience...I am hoping to be emplyed jeanne...Joh plans to switch to the Kradnador office (better pay/living conditions/internet...etc) I'm a tech writer by trade...but I don't know the language yet (but I'm picking it up faster than J - LOL - he's too tech)...hopefully I can find a position int there contracts div..."go-between" from the translators to "official" contract language...make sense?

11:59 am

Queenruejean

Babs, sorry I reread & I gave you the hy when you had it. Ooops.

12:00 pm

Babs1

thanks, queen..got all the h's!

12:00 pm

Queenruejean

Great!

12:00 pm

skheiny

Sorry Jeanne - did l Iose ya? A "little" long winded LOL

12:00 pm

Babs1

I have a do 4/11 and looking for other d for the 2nd row..

12:01 pm

jeanne314

gotcha...just composiing and Alex is reading...

12:01 pm

jeanne314

I thought I had lost you as well...LOL

12:01 pm

Babs1

oh..i guess the d for the 2nd row I have is de 4/8

12:02 pm

skheiny

HAHA I can be long winded...especially when drinking this fab vodka!!!!!

12:02 pm

skheiny

sorry and thanks for sticking around

12:02 pm

Queenruejean

There are two off the second row d. They both are de4/8. ONe means handy, good at something. The other ends in a double consonant. Same as the do4/11

12:03 pm

Niamh

~!~Fireworks~!~

12:03 pm

Queenruejean

Dang, I need a new brain. The second de4/8 is actually like the word meaning to disobey, but replace the y with a vowel.

12:03 pm

pabtrek

that doesn't work Queen

12:03 pm

Queenruejean

Congrats Niamh!!!

12:04 pm

pabtrek

congrats Niamh

12:04 pm

skheiny

YEAH Niamh!!!! WTG

12:04 pm

jeanne314

Sounds like a great skill to have. Krasnodar should be a big improvement!!! Much better climate, close to Black Sea...fresh fruit...Don River...read Sholokhov's "And Quiet Flows the Don" (Tikhii Don) for a great history. I just finished it. Anyways, I really envy you! I'm glad you're progressing on the language. What a skill set you have!!!! I write too much, and sorry for pushing good clues down the screen sooooo fast!!!! Cheers, J. (p.s. alex wants to know how you like the Russian cuisine!)

12:04 pm

Babs1

yay niamh--4 behind you..

12:04 pm

Queenruejean

Right, Pab. My brain just shut off.

12:05 pm

pabtrek

that's okay, Queen, i tried to put it in 3 times before i realized it wasn't working :)

12:05 pm

Babs1

thanks, queen! makes more sense!!

12:05 pm

Niamh

go Babs Go!!

12:05 pm

Queenruejean

Babs, did any of that blather help you with de's?

12:06 pm

pabtrek

clue for the "i" please

12:06 pm

skheiny

USSR food needs spice!!! I'm from TX...we're "spicy people" :-)

12:06 pm

Queenruejean

Well, How about this? I don't think I'll eat that leftover turkey. It smells if** to me!

12:06 pm

Babs1

got the de's need one g--not the presents, and one y (have 4/7) and one r..have 4/4, 5/12, and 4/6..

12:07 pm

jeanne314

All - and why isn't semite listed in the dictionary!!! It's in the puzzle bigger'n Dallas, it is an adjective albeit a "proper" one...sometimes I wonder... Hahahaha I understand about the spice!!!! Alex suggests you don't call it USSR anymore even though the whole area may still suggest it still exists!!!! LOL, J.

12:07 pm

Queenruejean

Gi + special **ucation.

12:07 pm

Babs1

haven't had any turkey this year--actually one bite--converting to mostly raw and vegetarian...did enjoy some gravy though!

12:08 pm

lmj643

gi6/36, when you get the gi4/9, you've been gi****

12:08 pm

pabtrek

thanks queen

12:08 pm

Babs1

thanks lmj and queen! got the g!

12:08 pm

lmj643

ryes

12:08 pm

Queenruejean

The other y, rhymes with a rude person. Like "That guy is a real J***"

12:09 pm

lmj643

oh shoot, wrong box. that's why i don' chat :)

12:09 pm

Babs1

cool, thanks queen!

12:09 pm

Babs1

lol, lmj! fun when that happens!

12:09 pm

Niamh

I think the other r you need is another 4/4

12:10 pm

Queenruejean

There are two re4/4. One is re + I am, you are, she **. The other one ends the same but has double vowels in the middle.

12:10 pm

Babs1

12:19 pm

Atalante

12:23 pm

Babs1

Thanks, Atalante...she's been doing henna for about 4 years--will do at her school fair this Saturday all day! Will get some henna pics on deviant site..

12:23 pm

Atalante

wonderful! its something I'd love to do at some point

12:23 pm

skheiny

OK, signing out...I humble myself to those that clue better than I :-) I

12:24 pm

jeanne314

cheers, skheiny!!! good to meet you1!! j.

12:24 pm

Babs1

Atalante...just went to your deviant site--your work is so fabulous...i forget now what mediums you use mostly and where you studied??

12:25 pm

jeanne314

hies

12:25 pm

skheiny

Like wise! Jeanne! hope to visit again soon!

12:25 pm

jeanne314

goofed again..

12:25 pm

Babs1

by the way, how's your dog doing today??

12:25 pm

Atalante

I didnt study art, I just taught myself :) and I usually use watercolour and pencil. I'm trying to learn digital painting and failing miserably LOL

12:26 pm

jeanne314

get some sleep...it's rather late for you!!! (or early)....till next time, poka!!!

12:26 pm

Atalante

awww my poor babe, she has an infection in the skin of her ear :(

12:26 pm

Atalante

antibiotics, collar stays on for a while!

12:27 pm

Babs1

wow! Izzy is mostly self-taught as well. How do you find work? Any schools in England and Europe you'd recommend for college? one of her friends interested in tech. theater is looking for schools your way!

12:27 pm

skheiny

:-) thanks jeanne

12:27 pm

Babs1

bummer--those collars are so miserable, but worth it!

12:28 pm

Haz1558

Hello Atalante - what's the infection?

12:29 pm

Atalante

there are some really good theatre schools over here, especially RADA depending on what part of theatre one wants to study. Art schools, again there are great ones, but nothing I'd say thats any better than any over there

12:29 pm

Vicuna

Hello, all. Does anyone know the total points for today, please?

12:29 pm

Atalante

don't know, Haz. Vet has given us 10 days of antibios, infection probably came from a cut while out in the woods or something, who knows!

12:30 pm

pabtrek

12:30 pm

Vicuna

Thanks, pabtrek.

12:30 pm

Haz1558

Blame the critters, then.

12:30 pm

12:30 pm

JMHBEAN

help i have one word left it is hi 4/5 i know its right in front of me and obvious but i can't find it help!!!!

12:31 pm

Atalante

definitely blaming them. but hopefully antibios will stop it itching and de-puff it, then we can take the lampshade off!

12:31 pm

Atalante

haz, hi! Vi, hi! JMH, hi! *grin*

12:31 pm

Vicuna

there's "clue" at 12:25

12:31 pm

Atalante

that was a clue

12:32 pm

Vicuna

lol, Ata! Those were lovely hi4 you just gave us!

12:32 pm

Haz1558

Yes, hopefully you'll see progress in a couple of days. Farmers are notorious for injecting animals, waiting 3 or 4 hours, then ringing up to see if they can give any more effective antiobiotic.... it takes time!

12:33 pm

Atalante

LOL! poor vets. I'll give her till Thursday then try taking the collar off

12:33 pm

JMHBEAN

thanks sooooo much all of you, this is my first fireworks can't believe i actually completed onex

12:34 pm

Vicuna

Farmers and mothers! Around here the pediatricians have a terrible time with mothers who want their children to get antibiotics for everything.

12:34 pm

Atalante

yay JMH!

12:34 pm

Vicuna

Yay for JMHBEAN!

12:34 pm

pabtrek

congrats JMHBEAN

12:34 pm

Haz1558

Poor Hobbit. Was the vet sympathetic?

12:34 pm

Haz1558

I know, antibiotics are great, but you don't need them for everything.

12:35 pm

Atalante

very. she looooves the vet she saw today. absolutely adores him. she even let him do her anal glands without a whimper

12:35 pm

Haz1558

Congratulations on fireworks, JMH.

12:35 pm

Vicuna

Boy, I don't love anyone that much! lol

12:35 pm

Haz1558

Ah yes, the anal glands, the glamour end of vet medicine.

12:36 pm

Atalante

lol yes. such a lovely smell

12:37 pm

Atalante

we have vets from nice places here. the *best* vet is from Northern Ireland (I had to say that of course), but most of the others are from France / Belgium and they seem to have a lot more time for the animals than a lot of English vets do

12:37 pm

Haz1558

It's hard to beat a vet from Northern Ireland.

12:37 pm

Vicuna

It isn't nice to beat vets at all!

12:38 pm

Haz1558

True, and you probably shouldn't try beating them because they have superior weapons at their disposal.

12:38 pm

Atalante

he's called Cormac, has ginger hair adn drinks Guinness. Not a stereotype at all

12:39 pm

Vicuna

Yes, I only pick on people less talented than myself.

12:39 pm

Haz1558

No, absolutely not.

12:39 pm

Vicuna

So vets are right out.

12:40 pm

Haz1558

I think so, Vicuna. I've always known my place.

12:40 pm

Vicuna

"Cormac" must be in disguise. That's too good to be true.

12:40 pm

Atalante

lol I know, Vi! Its just perfect!

12:41 pm

Haz1558

Just as long as he doesn't say 'To be sure, to be sure, to be sure.' NOBODY says that.

12:41 pm

Robo-bonobo

are there only 55 words today? is that right?

12:41 pm

Atalante

not that I've heard. Yet.

12:41 pm

Haz1558

Just 55.

12:41 pm

JillF

help with the hi4/6...my last one and i am seeing double

12:42 pm

Haz1558

hi4/6 - past tense of the calling attention word.

12:42 pm

Babs1

so...atalante...how do you get commissions for your art--is that mostly what you do? exploring where Izzy's art might go, etc...wanting to give her different ideas about how people bring their art into the world..

12:43 pm

JillF

thanks haz! i cannot look at this crazy grid any longer and thanks to you, i do not have to anymore! good day

12:43 pm

1:49 pm

Atalante

1:50 pm

FMitch

Did I see in the log that the lampshaded one is still bedecked?

1:50 pm

Atalante

1:50 pm

FMitch

oh poor woofah.

1:51 pm

Atalante

FMitch

Confession time ...

1:56 pm

Atalante

Atalante

1:58 pm

Atalante

I want some new booots too

2:00 pm

Atalante

2:02 pm

FMitch

Looked at the scrabulous game this afternoon I am soooooooooooooo far from being in your league I off the map and in a very dark corner. *looks at Ata with scrabble awe*

Atalante

2:03 pm

Krista

2:03 pm

FMitch

Lucky you, loads of choice us 9ers get I/2 a full display if we are lucky.

2:04 pm

FMitch

Hi Krista

2:04 pm

Atalante

I used to be 8, I know your pain, fm!

2:05 pm

Krista

Your boots sound lovely! I'm a 9, too...thought your sizes were different there, though?

2:05 pm

FMitch

so you understand the lavender joy then LOL

2:05 pm

Krista

oh my..need to change my icon lest someone think I LIKE earwigs

2:05 pm

FMitch

well I was wondering Krista .... :)

2:06 pm

Atalante

yeah, your 9 would be about our 7 ish I *think*

2:07 pm

Krista

oh, so you are saying your feet are SMALL then

2:07 pm

Haz1558

I have dainty feet. Well, daintyish.

2:07 pm

Krista

i bought a pair of red suede boots one year that were at least 2 sizes too small, but I HAD to have them. They were worth the pain. :)

2:08 pm

Lizsark

hi all

2:08 pm

Lizsark

glad to see you Haz and Fm and Ata :)

2:08 pm

Haz1558

Hello Liz!

2:08 pm

Atalante

well I just know that my friend takes size 5 US and size 3-4 UK. so thats all I'm going off!

2:08 pm

Lizsark

oh oh look at poor hobbit

2:09 pm

FMitch

LOL Krista
Haz you are just dainty full stop :)
Hi Liz

2:09 pm

Atalante

2:09 pm

Lizsark

poor baby give her a cuddle from me

2:09 pm

Atalante

she's havign millions of cuddles :D even the vets were all cuddling her!

2:10 pm

Lizsark

I'm having a rotten day I'm so glad you're all here to talk to :)

2:10 pm

Krista

ok, new icon here, but it is probably scary to some...do they call those Elizabethan collars there, too? Hi Liz

2:10 pm

FMitch

Oh whats up Liz?

2:10 pm

FMitch

Krista, nothing small about my size 9s I can assure you :)

2:10 pm

Lizsark

Nothing much really FM - my little girl is really sick and I'm on my own coz husband is away on work.

2:11 pm

Haz1558

Yes, Elizabethan collar the correct term. Lampshade just sounds more fun.

2:11 pm

Lizsark

LOL Haz we called it a lampshade when Oscar had one

2:11 pm

Atalante

at our vet they call them Buster collars

2:11 pm

Haz1558

What's wrong with the baby?

2:11 pm

Krista

oh, ok...I was thinking backwards about the shoes...I get it now

2:11 pm

Lizsark

being sick literally. cant even keep water down. Its her birthday next week :(

2:12 pm

Haz1558

Spangle was spayed - needed no collar. Had a cyst removed and four stitches - no collar. Just a stern talking to.

2:12 pm

FMitch

Oh there, there Lizyloo hope little one feels better soon.

2:12 pm

debjed

at U of I vet med, we call them Buster Collars or E-Collars

2:12 pm

Krista

oh my, Liz..hope she doesn't get dehydrated

2:12 pm

Lizsark

thank you Fiona

2:12 pm

Lizsark

Haz where did she have the cyst?

2:13 pm

Lizsark

me too Krista she is only 1 so it affects her worse than if she was older

2:13 pm

Haz1558

It was an infected cyst on her back.

2:13 pm

Haz1558

She completely ignored the stitches, she was very good.

2:13 pm

Lizsark

Oscar had some massive cysts removed from the top of his head 2 years ago - horrible

2:13 pm

Atalante

this is the first time Hobbit's had one ... she's done the spaying and paw stitches collarless, but this she just *scratches*

2:13 pm

Lizsark

he ate two lampshades

2:13 pm

Lizsark

aw it must really itch

2:13 pm

Krista

sick kids (and pets) are the worst...we've been sharing strep and colds here for a few months, but as long as it's not stomach viruses, I'm grateful!

2:14 pm

Atalante

lol Oscar!

2:14 pm

Lizsark

I know what you mean Krista!

2:14 pm

Lizsark

I know Ata! Typical huh?

2:15 pm

FMitch

I thought sick husbands/BFs were the worst as they can cerbalise the fact that they are dying fro a sneeze or a cut finger and make it last for so long!!

2:16 pm

praise2him

2:16 pm

praise2him

2:16 pm

Haz1558

2:17 pm

Lizsark

2:17 pm

Krista

Atalante

2:29 pm

Lizsark

2:30 pm

Lizsark

You see, this is why I love Babble - you have all cheered me up no end and I've cleaned my computer too :)

2:30 pm

herinfernallady

2:31 pm

herinfernallady

ok liz i did recieve one thanks

2:32 pm

Lizsark

Are you enjoying it FM?

2:32 pm

FMitch

is it the Phillip Vellacott transation.
I so can't do smug like Ata can.

2:32 pm

FMitch

I also can't type *translation

2:33 pm

Atalante

i;ve seen Medea on stage in Greek *smug*

2:33 pm

Haz1558

Are there lessons in smug, or is Atalante self-taught, like her art.

2:33 pm

FMitch

LOL

2:33 pm

Lizsark

Yes it is the Vellacott one

2:33 pm

Haz1558

Well, I actually wrote Medea, it wasn't whathisface at all. Beat that for smug.

2:34 pm

Atalante

anyone who knows acient greek is inherently smug, its part of the teaching

2:34 pm

Haz1558

Is that last sentence grammatical? (Mine?)

2:34 pm

Lizsark

You wrote MEdea? I had no idea you were THAT old Haz LOL

2:35 pm

Haz1558

Sort of like people who master ancient Eastern martial arts have a smug look?

2:35 pm

FMitch

Liz have you scruibbled lots of useful answers and comments in it?
ROFL, Haz you left yourself wide open for that one.

2:35 pm

Haz1558

Okay, maybe I didn't write it, but I probably could have done.

2:35 pm

Atalante

its really haz1558BC

2:35 pm

Lizsark

Not a mark on it FM... you should see the course book though LOL

2:35 pm

Haz1558

(I think if I keep bluffing, they'll not realise I don't know one end of Medea from Medusa)

2:36 pm

Atalante

incest and child jkillings are your specialties, are they?

2:36 pm

Lizsark

*giggles*

2:36 pm

FMitch

Darn I would have paid twice for the extra notes ;)

2:36 pm

Lizsark

Only coz you know I passed the course lol

2:37 pm

Haz1558

Oh THAT Medea? I'm sorry, I thought you said something ENTIRELY different. (this is known as back-pedalling to a remarkable degree)

2:37 pm

Lizsark

ROFL

2:37 pm

FMitch

tee hee

2:37 pm

Atalante

I love the chorus wailings

2:38 pm

Lizsark

Just flicked through my copy - I had forgotten just how gruesome it is

2:39 pm

Atalante

it certainly is!

2:39 pm

Haz1558

I'll agree. Nodding head vigorously.

2:39 pm

Haz1558

Which isn't something herinfernal should be doing, otherwise she'll make the cat seasick.

2:40 pm

Lizsark

WE could tell you anything and you'd believe wouldnt you Haz :)

2:40 pm

Atalante

2:40 pm

Lizsark

2:41 pm

evanonut

gots five words so far....

2:41 pm

FMitch

No one warned me how depressing this course would be. look at monuments - war memorials.
Poetry, war poetry, we have the Medea and the French Revolution to lookforward to ... sigh

2:42 pm

Atalante

Medea's not *depressing*. Its just - gory

2:42 pm

Haz1558

Slow down, Dr Nut, you'll break sprite's record if you're not careful.

2:42 pm

frogface

hello all. Short one tonight.

2:42 pm

Lizsark

The war memorials bit got me down I remember but I loved the architecture stuff

2:42 pm

evanonut

sprite, she still needs to hook up with me for a show

2:42 pm

Haz1558

I may be short, frogface but I have dainty feet.

2:43 pm

Haz1558

She's away at a spa at the moment, Dr Nut.

2:43 pm

Atalante

she's away for a few days

2:43 pm

frogface

good things come in small packages haz.

2:43 pm

Haz1558

Or is it an island? Lots of water about anyway.

2:43 pm

Haz1558

I think so, frogface.

2:43 pm

Lizsark

ah I was wondering where she was

2:44 pm

FMitch

ack this coming weekend I think, certainly away for 5 days.

2:44 pm

Lizsark

Now you're just jealous of FM's feet arent you HAz?

2:44 pm

FMitch

I doublt it somehow Liz!

2:44 pm

Lizsark

*Finds a spot of coffee I missed with the screen wipes earlier*

2:44 pm

frogface

2:45 pm

Haz1558

I'm jealous of the boots.

2:45 pm

Lizsark

LOL FM

2:46 pm

Haz1558

Well, my feet aren't THAT dainty.

2:46 pm

Lizsark

Lizsark

Lizsark

what sort of dog is ben?

2:50 pm

FMitch

I am hoping Ben is your dog not your husband?

2:50 pm

Haz1558

Ben's your dog I take it? It would be a sore affliction to share a bed with a man that did that.

2:50 pm

frogface

3:36 pm

frogface

nobody loves me, everybody hates me, think i'll go and eat worms, long thin curly ones short fat juicy ones, look how they wriggle and squirm.

3:37 pm

Hannelore

That sounds not so appealing

3:37 pm

vedaman

now don't go and do that

3:37 pm

vedaman

worms are rather gritty

3:37 pm

frogface

desperation has hit

3:37 pm

Hannelore

so it seems!

3:38 pm

vedaman

I suppose if there's no alternative

3:38 pm

frogface

either that or the madness is back.

3:38 pm

Hannelore

While you are chatting about worms, can someone help me with clues for mi5,28??

3:40 pm

Hannelore

No, sorry. Working on it.

3:43 pm

frogface

mi and two identical constinants, peed off. angry.

3:43 pm

vedaman

look at the points. for a 4 letter word to be worth that much, it has to have a bunch of high value letters in it.

3:45 pm

Hannelore

Ok. I just started about ten minutes ago, so I only have 17 words yet! I'm working....

3:47 pm

Sudokuaddict

clue for co 6/24?

3:48 pm

3:51 pm

frogface

3:51 pm

Sudokuaddict

3:52 pm

vedaman

I'd treat it just like stewing chicken too, but I don't know how to do that either

3:52 pm

3:53 pm

Hannelore

**turkey, perhaps

I've heard it all day long. you have, too?

6:10 pm

6:10 pm

Mom

great, love those sales.

6:11 pm

Mom

I did mine last night

6:11 pm

tygerbryght

probably the lag is because there are lots more people online today than usual

6:11 pm

tygerbryght

or, at least, they're not just looking

6:11 pm

Mom

I think so too

6:12 pm

tygerbryght

I've already done most of my shopping. the music today was pure indulgence

I bought one of the neck pillows--it is fab! Glad your mattress is helping...

6:33 pm

Mom

I am a mother hen in the worst way :)

6:33 pm

tygerbryght

6:33 pm

tygerbryght

LOL, mom. I don't mind a bit

I had to look at Lickety's page. I don't put my words in on days when the word count is less than 100

7:00 pm

tygerbryght

7:00 pm

evanonut

sometimes i don't put in the words on purpose

7:00 pm

tygerbryght

like I'm doing today, nutty?

7:00 pm

evanonut

7:03 pm

Krista

I got 13 words earlier and had to quit..seems like it gets harder..am I right?

7:04 pm

tygerbryght

well, there is a LOT of Scottish vernacular in today's grid :)

7:04 pm

Krista

I'm screwed then!

7:04 pm

tygerbryght

even now, when I look at the grid, I want to see "tithes" there :)

7:04 pm

tygerbryght

I'm giving clues, you know

7:05 pm

tygerbryght

but I'll hafta leave in a little while

7:05 pm

tygerbryght

but there are always people around willing to give clues

7:06 pm

tygerbryght

bren, do I need to give you a different clue?

7:06 pm

brendiboo

i think i am going to try the ae 4,6 for a minute and go back to the others before i strangle someone ha ha

7:06 pm

robwhy

dang, just got here and don't see 10 words

7:06 pm

tygerbryght

okay. ae4: a different spelling for an eagle's nest

7:07 pm

tygerbryght

hey, rob

7:07 pm

tygerbryght

what's the problem?

7:07 pm

Krista

i hardly ever go beyond what I can get myself..it starts to feel like work then (don't like work)

7:07 pm

tygerbryght

LOL, krista

7:07 pm

Krista

i think this one's a little stinker, Rob

7:07 pm

tygerbryght

I can usually finish the grid on my own (with help of word lists)

7:08 pm

pam

I do what I can, and if I see clues on the chat, I like to resolve them.... I usually get 3/4 done--I don't use any lists...

7:08 pm

tygerbryght

but sometimes I have to get clues

7:08 pm

Krista

if I had a good memory, I'd do much better..I've been on here for a long time now, and find myself monkeying for the same "Babblets" over and over

7:08 pm

robwhy

uh, yeah

7:08 pm

tygerbryght

I'm somewhat compulsive. I hate to NOT finish anything

7:09 pm

Krista

I can understand that, tyger..I had to get over that myself

7:09 pm

pam

I have the same babblet issue, krista, LOL

7:09 pm

tygerbryght

I think I'm too old to try :)

7:10 pm

pam

LOL, tyger

7:10 pm

tygerbryght

:D

7:10 pm

brendiboo

woo hoo only the two ai to go

7:10 pm

Krista

I'll use Lickety's once in a while, Pam...frustrating, isn't it? You know we've seen those same words over and over!

7:10 pm

pam

Yup, krista, it can be frustrating!!!!

7:10 pm

tygerbryght

go, bren, go

7:11 pm

tygerbryght

think double-hump, bren

7:11 pm

tygerbryght

I'm thinking dinner. it's about time

7:11 pm

Krista

If any of you are on facebook, I'm looking for more scrabble opponents (my new addiction)

7:12 pm

pam

I would think it is, tyger!

7:12 pm

tygerbryght

not on facebook, and don't play scrabble (or hardly ever)

7:12 pm

Krista

what's on the menu, Tyger?

7:12 pm

tygerbryght

I usually eat at 7 & 7 (timed for pills)

7:13 pm

tygerbryght

haven't made up my mind. something frozen, probably, or maybe I'll finish the Turkey day sweet potatoes

7:13 pm

pam

Timing makes sense... food souds yummy

7:13 pm

Krista

mmmm..candied?

7:13 pm

featherbee

7:14 pm

featherbee

7:14 pm

7:14 pm

Krista

Ok! I'm working on Ata's FOUR games now. :)

7:14 pm

brendiboo

7:14 pm

pam

Hi, feather

7:14 pm

Krista

It has been acting screwy again, btw.

7:14 pm

tygerbryght

well, sorta candied. my mom's recipe - sauteed slices in butter, then layered with more butter and brown sugar

7:14 pm

featherbee

yeah, no kidding

7:14 pm

tygerbryght

more butter than sugar

7:14 pm

featherbee

four games with one person?

7:15 pm

Krista

sounds good to me, tyger

7:15 pm

featherbee

i've got 12 games going, and with the exception of our triple game with fran, all different people!

7:15 pm

lots

hi to you all this evening or where ever you are !!!!!

7:15 pm

Krista

7:15 pm

tygerbryght

7:15 pm

tygerbryght

7:15 pm

robwhy

7:15 pm

Krista

i'm doing 12, too

7:15 pm

featherbee

lol!

7:16 pm

tygerbryght

they are good. I don't like marshmallowed ones

7:16 pm

pam

Hi, lots

7:16 pm

pam

I don't sweet ones... Like them savory...

7:16 pm

tygerbryght

probably because I grew up eating them that way

7:17 pm

brendiboo

i think i must be a hopeless case tyger has given me too difference clues for the ai words and i still cant get them

7:17 pm

Krista

we don't use marshmallows, either...never had them savory - how do you cook them?

7:17 pm

featherbee

brb

7:17 pm

Krista

me too, Rob..don't feel bad

7:17 pm

pam

I don't add sugar or anything sweet. Salt, pepper, and whatever I am in the mood for...

7:18 pm

Krista

interesting...i used to eat watermelon that way when I was a kid..seems gross now

7:18 pm

Krista

not saying what you do is gross, tho!

7:18 pm

tygerbryght

ai + *other (female parent) + hard - not *asy + don't leave the *oom

7:19 pm

pam

LOL, krista. I am not one for sweets--don't like maple syrup in my yams, etc.

7:19 pm

tygerbryght

bren, I sometimes need several clues. don't feel bad

7:19 pm

tygerbryght

the brown sugar (not light brown) has a tang to it. some people wouldn't care for it because it's not entirely sweet

7:20 pm

pam

I sometimes need more than several!!!!

7:20 pm

Krista

i'm more of a salt fiend than sugar, too

7:20 pm

brendiboo

woooooooo hooo done it thanks for spelling that one out tyger

7:20 pm

tygerbryght

I recall at least one time that it took 4 clues

7:20 pm

brendiboo

*fireworks*** doing a little jig now lol

7:20 pm

pam

Yay, brend

7:20 pm

tygerbryght

not a salt fiend anymore. my blood pressure is salt-sensitive, and I've learned to live mostly without it

7:21 pm

tygerbryght

yvw, bren now make it plural

7:21 pm

Jellen

Yay for brend!!

7:21 pm

tygerbryght

yay, bren

7:21 pm

tygerbryght

missed bren's announcement of finish :P

7:21 pm

pam

I like salt over sugar, but don't use a lot of it. Used to use none, but the doc told me I needed to have SOME salt in my diet.

7:21 pm

brendiboo

that is my first ever grid solved woo hoo

7:22 pm

Krista

I worry about that happening to me, tyger. Right now I'm under dr's orders to eat more salt due to low blood pressure..I said if I eat anymore that I do, I'll explode or something

7:22 pm

brendiboo

thank you all

7:22 pm

tygerbryght

krista, maybe if you tried potassium instead??

7:22 pm

tygerbryght

or maybe there's some other factor that's keeping your BP low?

7:23 pm

Krista

it's funny how sensitive you become to it when you cut down, isn't it, Pam? It's a longterm side effect of chemo, tyger

7:23 pm

Krista

Congrats, Brenda!!

7:23 pm

tygerbryght

oh, krista. sorry to hear that

7:24 pm

pam

I have low blood pressure, too. And, I wasn't getting enough salt or potassium. Not chemo-related, might be endocrine, though. Doc is great and told me I had to eat salt--which made me happy

7:24 pm

Krista

Thanks. It's not a big problem if I drink enough and eat salt, though....Do you get fatigue with it Pam?

7:24 pm

tygerbryght

my doctor first told me to cut down on the salt 30+ years ago, when my BP was 108/78

7:25 pm

pam

Yes, krista. And lightheaded...

7:25 pm

tygerbryght

I still don't have to take BP meds, thanks to low salt

7:25 pm

pam

That's great, tyger!

7:26 pm

tygerbryght

today, it's 130/80

7:26 pm

Krista

Exactly, Pam. Especially when standing up. I was actually happy when they diagnosed me with the problem, because then I knew why I felt like crap and what I could do about it!

7:26 pm

tygerbryght

unless I'm hurting pretty bad, or upset

7:26 pm

Krista

That's wonderful, Tyger..always best do fix things with diet.

7:26 pm

tygerbryght

and I'm in my mid 60s

7:27 pm

pam

it's called postural hypotension, krista.

7:27 pm

pam

That really is great, tyger!!!!!!

7:27 pm

tygerbryght

OTOH, today doc said my son's BP is Ã¼ncontrolled" :( and he takes several meds

7:27 pm

tygerbryght

of course, he's seriously overweight, and diabetic

7:27 pm

pam

That can be scary

7:27 pm

Krista

yep, and they also referred to it as neurally mediated hypotension..not sure if there is a shade of difference there or if it's the same thing

7:28 pm

tygerbryght

yes, indeed. I worry about him

7:28 pm

Krista

brb in about 10 minutes..bottomless pit son needs food!

7:28 pm

tygerbryght

he claims to eat less salt than before, but he still eats quite a bit, by my standards

7:28 pm

pam

Hmmmm, never heard of that, krista...

7:28 pm

tygerbryght

I don't totally avoid salt; I just use it sparingly

7:29 pm

pam

perhaps it is relative, tyger?

7:29 pm

tygerbryght

dunno, pam

7:29 pm

tygerbryght

I'm gonna hafta go. getting late for pills

7:29 pm

tygerbryght

I'll try to come back later

8:11 pm

Minveryork

Hello EvaNadine!How are you? Welcome to the puzzle

8:11 pm

Jacula

Today's grid looks like one that has no words when you first see it. However, once your eyes settle, the words reveal themselves. It took me about 30 mins yesterday morning.

8:12 pm

Jacula

What, Eva?

8:12 pm

EvaNadine

the BF more or less ignored me all night tonight, and when i called him on it, he claims he wasnt.
how long do i let him stew before i stop being ticked off?

8:12 pm

EvaNadine

thanks minver -- i finished earlier, but i was popping in to see who was around. :)

8:12 pm

Eva - until he buys you flowers, chocolates and gorvels.

Congratulations on your early finish EvaNadine! YAY!

8:13 pm

Jacula

I meant grovels! LOL

8:13 pm

EvaNadine

jacula -- in that case, the relationship might be over!

8:14 pm

Minveryork

My hubby ignores me almost every night!I don't mind because I ignore him babbling.How did he ignore you?

8:14 pm

Jacula

Eva - In all honesty I can't advise because I don't know the history, the story or what type of person he is. You know him best. You must do what feels right for you.

8:15 pm

phandmd

I am outta here; pleasant dreams

8:16 pm

EvaNadine

well, hes not working right now, so hes here alone all day. so i figure when i get home, he might actually want to hang out with me. (we live together)
but lately, hes been spending most of the evening in his "man cave" and i keep trying to draw him out, but since i dont have ideas for what to do, he pretty much stays in there...

8:16 pm

Jacula

'Night, phan. Our matching icons will now be parted. Parting is such sweet sorrow! LOL

8:16 pm

phandmd

indeed!

8:16 pm

Minveryork

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

8:17 pm

evanonut

eva, walk out nekkid, that'll grab'im

8:17 pm

Jacula

Oh, I see, Eva. He may be a bit depressed if he's out of work and not feel quite the 'man' or 'the provider'. Maybe?

8:17 pm

Jacula

Nut - I was working up to that idea slowly!

8:17 pm

Krista

read Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus..it may be trite info, but it's VERY true..I found it very helpful early in my marriage

8:18 pm

inge

changed my icon, anothr butterfly

8:18 pm

EvaNadine

hes actually feeling better about the job thing because hes got a second interview this wednesday!
(and he sees me au naturalle every night. ;) )

8:18 pm

Jacula

Lots of us se4/5 to have chosen flutterbys today.:)

8:18 pm

Krista

the man cave is necessary for them

8:19 pm

Minveryork

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

8:19 pm

EvaNadine

im all for him having his man cave...i just like to actually feel like he WANTS to spend time with me sometimes...

8:19 pm

Jacula

Eva - if he sees you nekkid often then maybe it's time to cover up a bit... dress up, if you know what I mean.;-)

8:20 pm

inge

Hi Minver and all you Babblers. Cant stay, just wanted to post a butterfly for today

8:20 pm

evanonut

he's jobless, he feels a bit wounded by it i'm sure, i KNOW from experience, let him stew for a bit, that's what they need to do. once he wraps his brain around the problem properly, all will return to norma.

8:21 pm

EvaNadine

well, hes been jobless for 2 months now. thats not new, unfortunately, but my feeling ignored is...

8:21 pm

Jacula

The man cave is either the study or a garden shed here in UK. Since the study is my 'cave' and he hasn' yet built a shed to add to my 4 outsbuildings already in garden, the settee and the remote control & TV are P's man cave.

8:21 pm

Krista

The Rules is also good...if it feels like too much game playing...I know, but it's just human nature

8:21 pm

Minveryork

Nice icon inge! I chose a Monarch Butterfly as well. I guess we won't match anymore since you are leaving

8:22 pm

Minveryork

I'm finished! My last word was ti 7/60 word.Easy grid

8:23 pm

Jacula

Eva - perhaps, if it's not the first time he's been out of work recently it's getting to him a bit? Like you say, once he's got through the 'nobody wants me' stage, his natural urge to get things sorted will kick in. Do you think you can hang on in there while he works through that?

8:23 pm

Krista

It is fine to tell him how you feel, just make sure you are not accusatory.

8:23 pm

Jacula

Congrats, min.

8:24 pm

Jacula

Good advice, Krista.

8:24 pm

Minveryork

Thank you! I can help anyone with clues if they need.

8:24 pm

EvaNadine

i just dont think this is work-related. it was for a while, but he got past that.
i think hes just being "big dumb guy" tonight, and i think im gonna make him sweat for a while...

8:24 pm

Krista

Thanks, Jac..gotta use my degree somewhere.

8:25 pm

Jacula

Eva - you know him best.

8:25 pm

Minveryork

I agree! Many times husband takes things the wrong way because he believes that I am being accusatory.

8:25 pm

Krista

It's an easy thing to do when you feel wounded.

8:26 pm

EvaNadine

debating if i wanna play chess tonight before bed...
its a new thing we have been getting into, but im so annoyed tonight i dont think i wanna spend that much time with him...

8:26 pm

Jacula

Krista - you used that degree just by being a wife and mother, never mind a sibling, a child, a family member, a neighbour etc., etc.

8:27 pm

Jacula

Hmm - you two have been playing chess? A power game if ever there was one. Is this a new thing or something the two of you have always done?

8:27 pm

renfield

i always say "what did i do to tick you off this time baby!"

8:27 pm

EvaNadine

its new. we were looking for something to do together + we kinda took to chess...we are pretty evenly matched. :)

8:27 pm

Jacula

Hey ren. Yes, sometimes it pays to be direct. Mind you, by saying that you are putting the blame on yourself.

8:28 pm

Krista

More true than you know, Jac! That's part of what burns a lot of social workers out..we give in our personal lives then give on the job!

8:28 pm

renfield

hahahha - it's a line from an ellen foley song -

8:28 pm

renfield

i just say it casue it takes the tension off

8:29 pm

renfield

and out of the situation.

8:30 pm

Krista

you could be a total Girl and let him win (I could NEVER do that!!)

8:30 pm

EvaNadine

well, i guess id better get going...gotta get ready for bed...

8:31 pm

Krista

she throws off her clothes and gets the chessboard out...

8:31 pm

Jacula

Eva - If the b/f is feeling somewhat depressed and maybe a little unmanned now, this may or may not work.. like I say, you know him best. Spice up the chess game a bit by setting something that the winner wants as the prize. Alll fantasies and/or 'chores' to be written down in advance on small cards that are then shuffled and so neither of you know what's going to come out of the pack when the winnder picks it off the top of the pile.

8:32 pm

EvaNadine

more like flannel PJs and my glasses...

8:32 pm

EvaNadine

gnite all!

8:32 pm

Krista

lol

8:32 pm

Jacula

Get those wish cards written, the pair of you! Time to spice up your lives!:)

8:33 pm

Krista

I like that idea..then even the loser could win, if it's a good "chore."

8:34 pm

Jacula

Exactly, Krista. In fact, though I only just thought of it, I think I might have a go at that myself. The possibilities are endless.

8:34 pm

Minveryork

Goodbye EvaNadine!I will see you tomorrow in the log

8:35 pm

Jacula

'Night, Eva. Good luck!

8:36 pm

Jacula

Hi, diem.

8:37 pm

diem

hi Jac ionly have 54 to go

8:38 pm

Jacula

diem - you've been married for a long time. What do you think of my 'wish cards' idea re chess or whatever game for a couple? It needn't be chess, it could be something as simple as guessing how much the weekly shopping bill is going to come to.

8:38 pm

Jacula

Min and I can clue you in when you want re the grid, diem.

8:39 pm

harpjane

oooooooooh i'm going to go get ready for a good game of chess now........bbl

Jacula

Hi and 'bye, harp. Enjoy your game.

8:40 pm

Jacula

I doubt it, lots. I think they're all too busy playing chess now. LOL

8:44 pm

Jacula

It's gone awfully quiet in here. All I can hear is the sound of pens franctically scratching wishes on cards.

Or even frantically.

we got snow 1st this winter YES

8:52 pm

Jacula

diem - we had snow here in UK last Sunday. LOL

8:53 pm

Jacula

Or did you mean first as in 'before USA'?

8:54 pm

Jacula

Anyway, diem, all this talk about the weather isn't getting your words found... yell if you need a clue.

8:54 pm

diem

jac mari and baboe went from Brum to Glasgow today m6 they ok for weather

8:54 pm

Minveryork

No snow yet here in NY. We have just had flurries so far. I really wouldn't care if it did not snow at all here

8:56 pm

Jacula

Weather was fine in UK everywhere but where I am today, diem. Up here, over 300ft and level with the Russian Steppes, we have our own weather system. No kidding! Here, today, it was misty and half light for most of the day. 10 miles away, where Other Half works, the weather was clear.

8:57 pm

Jacula

M6 and M5 were snowbound Sunday before last, diem. Not as in stopped, but it was a blizzard once you got into Worcs from Staffs.

9:00 pm

diem

tks jac i feel better not a good place to be )on the border with a blizzard) tks again

9:00 pm

Jacula

Min - I was offered 'New Years' Eve in Times Square' by my Other Half, who'd been offered the trip by someone at work. I said, 'No, thanks.' I don't go out to New Year in Brum and can so no reason for 12 hours on a plane + all the hassle at airports each end to stand out in the cold in either city.

9:02 pm

autumn moon

hi all.

9:02 pm

Jacula

Maybe I'm just becoming a Grumpy Old Woman? LOL. No. I'd love a short trip to NY to catch up with a friend and to see the place. Not just a visit to get crushed in a crowd though.

9:02 pm

Jacula

Hi, autumn.

9:04 pm

autumn moon

hi Jac. See you are talking about snow. Took me 1 1/2 hours to get home tonight ... because it never snows in Vancouver and people don't know how to drive in it.

9:05 pm

wednesday

snow? in vancouver? nothing in pitt meadows (yet)

9:05 pm

Jacula

autumn - you'd think it never snowed in UK either, due to lack of gritting, general unpreparedness of drivers and road authorities. Mind you, I guess last time we had major snow here was in the 1980s...

9:06 pm

diem

cant imagine you grumpy far less old

9:07 pm

autumn moon

about an inch in Richmond and big flakes now. It was raining (pouring) downtown at 5:00

9:07 pm

wednesday

o great. supposed to go christmas shopping tomorrow

9:07 pm

Jacula

However, re snow in Vancouver. When my relatives lived on Vancouver Island, I know they said they had no snow (the only real big shock they got was when Mt. St. Helens erupted and they felt the shock wave)... but my cousin used to go up into the mountains to ski. He got a major knee injury, eventually, from an accident pursuing that hobby. He's recovered now, though.

9:08 pm

diem

streets white coming down like a bugger in north delta

9:08 pm

wednesday

argh! i do not want to hear this

9:09 pm

autumn moon

Wed - I lived through 5 Ottawa winters....this is nothing!

9:09 pm

Jacula

Snow's only fun if you don't have to be somewhere at a certain time. Am I right, Wednesday?

9:10 pm

wednesday

snow is pretty in pictures. most fools dont know how to drive and they panic and that's what causes all the hubbub

9:10 pm

Jacula

In UK, where we don't (or didn't) often work that far from our homes, we can take the option of walking.

9:10 pm

diem

snow ok slush yeuk!!

9:11 pm

Jacula

I think that driving in snow and on ice, and driving on motorways, should be part of the driving test.

9:11 pm

autumn moon

okay - needing to concentrate on the grid if I want to finish it before bedtime. I have lived 40 years in Vancouver and 5 years in Ottawa. I spent more time stuck in snow traffic in BC than in ON.

9:11 pm

Jacula

slush IS YUK!, yes. Black or brown slush is bad for your clothes and yellow slush should be avoided at all costs.

9:12 pm

wednesday

i am stuck on the k's grrrr i've tried everything

9:12 pm

autumn moon

back later

9:12 pm

stidmama

hello all -- here for five minutes to clue if needed...

9:12 pm

Jacula

autumn - for the 3 years I guess you have spent stuck in snow traffic you now have a free voucher for 5 clues.:) Ask away.

9:13 pm

stidmama

bye autumn!

9:13 pm

stidmama

wednesday: the k's are anagrams of each other: ka 4 and ko 4...

9:13 pm

Jacula

ka + 'atop'. ko4 is an anagram of that.

9:14 pm

Jacula

Hi, stid.

9:14 pm

wednesday

success :)

9:14 pm

stidmama

hey Jac! are you slushy -- or is autumn slushy? we had freezing rain for a little earlier, then it tried to snow, now it's stopped and warmed up a couple degrees.

9:14 pm

stidmama

go weds go!

9:14 pm

Jacula

WSell done. Weds.

9:15 pm

Jacula

stid - it's just misty and autumny here at the moment with frost at night. Weekend before last was snowy.

9:16 pm

stidmama

that's not too bad then. I like mist in the autumn. It feels.... autumnal!

9:16 pm

featherbee

(peeks in to tell stid i played my turn)

9:16 pm

stidmama

I saw... you sneaky person, you!

9:17 pm

Jacula

stid - godd news re my 'not'' Ma in Law today. She had her op., right breast removed, no further problems uncovered, op took only 1 hour 20 mins, not 3-5 hours like they predicted. She'll be in hospital until Friday so they can keep an eye one the drain etc.

9:17 pm

Jacula

good, not godd.

9:17 pm

featherbee

lol

9:18 pm

Jacula

The tight band headache I've had around my head all day has finally cleared.

9:18 pm

stidmama

so glad it went well Jacula! I know how scary things like that can be. Do you think she wants to be on my "list" of people I think about?

9:19 pm

stidmama

I bet Jac -- stressful!

9:19 pm

stidmama

and it's feather's turn now.

9:19 pm

Jacula

stid - I don't care if she wants to be on there or not, no idea! Just add her. xxx

9:20 pm

autumn moon

(popped in for a moment) Jac - if you knit, you can make a boob until she's ready for reconstruction surgery

9:20 pm

stidmama

You got it. {{{jac}}}

9:20 pm

stidmama

rofl... yeah, with a flourescent pink nipple!

9:21 pm

autumn moon

my aunt is a survivor and she makes them for all the women who come into the hospital.

9:21 pm

stidmama

seriously though autumn, are there really patterns for that? I would think it would be nice to have something like that.

9:22 pm

stidmama

that is so nice of her. And glad to hear she's a survivor, autumn, my aunt is not -- I never got to meet her.

9:22 pm

Jacula

autumn - she's decided not to go for reconstruction surgery but to get a 'chicken fillet' in her bras at some point. I'm interested in the knitting thing though?

9:23 pm

stidmama

completely off topic, how is this for a (real) headline: Canadian Man Arrested At Wash. Border With 93,000 Ecstasy Tablets

9:28 pm

Jacula

Sorry, autumn - page doesn't work.

9:28 pm

Jacula

'Bye, diem.

9:29 pm

diem

9:30 pm

autumn moon

jac - the site is www.knitty.com
then you can search (on the left hand side) for titbits.

9:31 pm

wednesday

stuck stuck and stuck. bye all.

9:31 pm

autumn moon

Wednesday - what are you stuck on?

9:32 pm

Jacula

Boobs are so much part of a woman's life. You're not always aware of brushing against them, or their being there as you go through your everyday tasks of life... but they are they and they are part of you as a person, a woman and a sexual being. I imagined what I might be saying to my right boob on Sunday night, if I was facing an operation to remove it next day... ''My last day with you... we've been through some times together, haven't we?' stuff like that. Sounds stupid, I know. I put a really pretty bra on today... It's sized a bit small for me now and gave me the '4 boobs' look like Nell Gwynne had. However, I think I wanted to tell my boobs I appreciate them being there or something. If that sounds mad, I don't care. It's how I felt.

9:36 pm

Jacula

Got the site saved now. autumn. Will check for the boob pattern later. Thanks.x

9:37 pm

Jacula

My partner also noticed and appreciated them just being there.

9:38 pm

Jacula

And, no, that was not a sexual comment.

9:40 pm

Jacula

Obviously talking to my self now. Sorry for getting 'too real' but I am Babble's official Reality Checker.

9:43 pm

autumn moon

Sorry, Jac - I have one to go on my grid today. Haven't used the chat for clues at all....

9:44 pm

Jacula

Best of luck with your last word, autumn. I can clue if you need.

9:45 pm

Jacula

I'm still too wound up from the day to sleep. I seem to have become super-sensitive lately.

9:46 pm

Jacula

menopause is like puberty but going in reverse!:((

9:47 pm

autumn moon

oh Jac...I know all about that too.

9:48 pm

Jacula

Have you found your final word yet, autumn?

9:49 pm

autumn moon

yup. Found it and had to look up the stupid co6. I didn't know what it was...I was just trying letters that added up right.

9:50 pm

Jacula

Incidentally, autumn - SG Atlantis is my fave. What says your Rotti?

9:50 pm

Jacula

Congrats, autumn!

9:51 pm

autumn moon

She seems to recognize the opening theme and lays on her blanket until the closing music. Right now, she is laying beside me, watching WWE Raw.

9:52 pm

autumn moon

I think I need to change my picture. It's been the same since my friend was killed in June

9:53 pm

Jacula

Who does your Rotti fancy? Ronon Dex? Phwoar! Erm... recovers self... Steve the Wraith is quite sexy. He look a bit like my daughter's b/f. Howwever, wheh I made the mistake of saying that to her, she said 'Back off from the boyfriend. MUM!@ Oh lol. I hope she realises I would never do that. Actually, I know she does know that; she said it for the comedy value. We're like that in this house!

9:54 pm

Jacula

Don't give her ideas., autumn with the wrestling stuff. It's all fake!

9:58 pm

autumn moon

She doesn't really fancy anyone in particular. I swear she knows I'm talking about her because she is looking at me so intently.....oh...maybe it's time for a pee???? Back later.

9:59 pm

Jacula

Okay, autumn and I'm sorry about your friend.x

10:01 pm

Hannelore

ANybody for clues on the hy 4,8 please?

10:01 pm

Jacula

Anyone need clues for grid?

10:02 pm

Jacula

hy4/8 is a song of praise sung in Church.

10:02 pm

Hannelore

please, on the h's! I've only 1 of the eight needed, and I only need 12 out of the whole thing!

10:02 pm

Hannelore

thanks a bunch jacula!!!!

10:03 pm

Jacula

The first thre 'h' words are Scotish Babblets.

10:03 pm

Jacula

*that's three and Scottish. Sorry!

10:03 pm

Hannelore

what's a babblet? Sorry for my ignorance... Us German Americans!

10:04 pm

Hannelore

lol :P

10:04 pm

Jacula

Babblets are word like inea, etna etc. Common ghrid words that might not be widely known words.

10:06 pm

Jacula

ha4/6 - Scottish for home -= ha = Actress Miss Thompson (think mostly Jane Austen stuff.)

10:06 pm

Hannelore

Oh Thank you thank you! I've the second one on the ha's nad the hy. Slowly but surely I'm to be working on the others !

10:06 pm

Jacula

ha4/5 = Scottish version of 'possesses'.

10:06 pm

Hannelore

I've that 4,5, but not the second

10:07 pm

Jacula

ha/5 (next) = Scottish version of 'in a minute'. It's an anagram of the thing your fire gives out to keep you cosy.

10:09 pm

Jacula

hy4/8 = a song of praise but it sounds masculine, like 'that man'.

10:09 pm

Hannelore

You're a novice Babble-addict's saviour!!!

10:09 pm

Jacula

hanne - that's 'cos I'm a seasoned Pro Babbler. LOL

10:10 pm

Hannelore

First day!

10:10 pm

Hannelore

"tis really so much fun!!

10:10 pm

Jacula

I thought I'd seen you in here before Hannelore?

10:12 pm

Hannelore

well, last nite, but I couldn't play for long. I only got half done before I had to let the computer go to my brother

10:12 pm

Jacula

Well, I thought I'd seen your well before that, Hannelore.

10:12 pm

Jacula

No matter.

10:13 pm

Hannelore

No, I just found a link to this from a blog yesterday. Perhaps there's another Hannelore???

10:13 pm

Jacula

Might be.

10:20 pm

Jacula

Welcome home, shdy!

10:20 pm

shdybr8

good deal, wasn't as difficult as small ones can be!

10:21 pm

Jacula

Yes, the grid at first sight appeared to have no words in it. But.. once you settled down and looked, they were there.

10:21 pm

shdybr8

:) exactly how it worked, good description, jac!

10:21 pm

Jacula

Thank you, shdy.

10:22 pm

shdybr8

after there wasn't one the other day (can't remember when, but i'm sure you were there too), he said enough to get us through the year were there

10:24 pm

Jacula

I thought he'd got it all computer generated ad infinitum. Seems not.

10:24 pm

shdybr8

i missed 4 days while at mother's house, but there was a day before that when it "ran out"

10:24 pm

Jacula

I should put Dr_G and my son in touch. LOL

10:25 pm

shdybr8

couldn't hurt!

10:26 pm

Jacula

Might do! Son apparently knows exactly how site works, etc., etc. Told him I didn't want to know... unless Dr-G has big probs he can't work out.

10:27 pm

shdybr8

i take it son works in programming?

10:27 pm

Jacula

At least my son didn't offer me 'cheat' options, which he could do. We both feel there's no point in pl;aying the ggame if you don't play it for real.

10:28 pm

Jacula

Masters in it. shdy.

10:28 pm

shdybr8

wouldn't be much fun, would it?

10:28 pm

helenkeller

flip !

10:28 pm

Jacula

No, shdy. I like to work things out for myself,. as do most folks.

10:28 pm

shdybr8

programming is a side effect of my profession, but not something i spend time on outside of work

10:29 pm

Jacula

flip, Hel? It's only n4.28 here in UK

10:29 pm

shdybr8

hk, you on a different clock?

10:30 pm

helenkeller

sorry, i meant late flip! very late flip!

10:30 pm

Jacula

Hi Hell on |Earth - are you having a 'Snowball' drink, have you flipped or are you just wishing for the Babble flip?

10:30 pm

shdybr8

ahh, then get to work, girl!!!!

10:30 pm

helenkeller

what's a snowball?

10:31 pm

shdybr8

i'll leave the 2 of you to man the station, enjoy!

10:31 pm

shdybr8

nite hk, nite jac....zzzzzzzzz

10:33 pm

Jacula

Hell - a snowball is Warninks Advoocat (egg flip), + lemonade + a dash of lime cordial + a cherry on a stick. Beloved drink of many middle-aged women at Christmas parties in UK up until about 1983.

10:34 pm

helenkeller

LOL - ok, a further inquiry then, what is an egg flip?

10:34 pm

Jacula

My Paul used to make 'snowballs' drinks for the kids at family parties (before he met me), not realisiing that the Advocaat was about 13.5% proof. LOL.

10:35 pm

helenkeller

LOL - yay paul!! kids musta loved him, parents too, after the kids settled down :)

10:36 pm

10:37 pm

helenkeller

10:38 pm

jillibus

hi4/5 -- present tense of the previous word

10:38 pm

Jacula

jilli - did you see the earlier discussion about chess and 'wish cards' suggestion?

10:38 pm

Jacula

It caused one male member to leave the discussion. I'm not sure what reason that was for.

10:38 pm

epsurreal

wait...the 7-letter word starts with ti, right? What about the 6-letter words? I have three, but need one more (guess I'm not being very clear, huh?)

10:39 pm

helenkeller

10:40 pm

Jacula

You've done the Chrimble cards already, jilli? Bugger! I've had the address book and the box with the cards in it out the kitchen table for a week now.

10:40 pm

10:41 pm

Jacula

ti7 is a girls' name or a type of art/lamp (think painted glass or silk with fringes)

10:42 pm

Jacula

You can also have breakfast at ti7.

10:42 pm

lshult

got it, thanks Jac

10:42 pm

epsurreal

I already got the ai6, gi6, and ti6. Can anyone tell me the starting letter of the last 6-letter word?

10:43 pm

Jacula

ti6 = those who hold the stopwatches.

10:43 pm

helenkeller

my almost 7 month pomeranian had all her baby teeth pulled today (she had 2 sets of teeth, freaky), & she is doing great, healnig so fast! still a little loopy

10:44 pm

Jacula

That is weird, Hell. 2 sets?

10:44 pm

epsurreal

Jac...I have that one. There are four 6-letter words, and I just need one more. It has to start with C, F, M, or K because those are the only letters I have open.

10:45 pm

Jacula

ai6 = those who want to be famous or reach the stars?

10:45 pm

helenkeller

yes jacs - i would have been completely freaked out, had not the same thing happened to Lenny's son's pomeranian last year

10:45 pm

jillibus

eps, there's a co6 which is the previous co4 + 2 vowels

10:45 pm

epsurreal

TY jill

10:45 pm

helenkeller

my vet says that, sadly, it is not uncommon in small/toy breeds, snout too small in proportion to head

10:45 pm

jillibus

yw

10:47 pm

Jacula

co6 = enigma co4 + 2 vowels.

10:47 pm

jillibus

HK, I have a friend who breeds pugs and cleft palates are common with them -- and they keep them

10:48 pm

Jacula

Yes, Hell. it is true. That's why I stick to Heinz 57's for my dogs.

10:48 pm

helenkeller

well, keeping 2 sets of teeth was out of the question, lol

10:48 pm

helenkeller

we gave it 3 weeks, playing a lot of tug-of-war, lots of rawhides, but they were stubborn little buggers

10:48 pm

lshult

Fireworkf************

10:48 pm

jillibus

that's why I was a careful breeder of purebred Great Danes as are other GOOD purebred breeders

10:49 pm

i have one of those too jacs

10:49 pm

helenkeller

yay for ish !!!!!!!!!!

10:49 pm

jillibus

YAY ishy!!!

10:49 pm

Jacula

Having been born with a mother who knows about dogs, I've learned some and that's why I choose my dogs carefully, should they choose to live with me.

10:50 pm

biggirlsblouse

Hi - new here and I have TWO words to go! That co6 one and ti5

10:50 pm

jillibus

2 sets of teeth is a minor probelm common to tiny breeds, pure or not

10:50 pm

helenkeller

i've been amusing myself lately answering questions on 'yahoo ask' & someone wrote asking how to tell if their dog was ready to breed, you should have seen - so many answers telling them (sharply) NOT to breed

10:50 pm

Jacula

I know that, jilli.

10:50 pm

jillibus

biggirl, both have been clued within the last few minutes -- just scroll doen

10:51 pm

lshult

co6=co4 +two vowels

10:51 pm

Jacula

Amusing, I guess, Hell?

10:51 pm

helenkeller

one person answered by asking how many championships the dog had won

10:51 pm

jillibus

there is SO much ignorance about dog breeding!

10:52 pm

Hannelore

ti5 is ti + past tense of what you do to your shoes

10:52 pm

Jacula

hell - like when the dogs are 'locked' because their owneers had been too busy on their exclusive breeders internet sites...

10:52 pm

Hannelore

actually that's the whole word. nvm the ti + lol

10:52 pm

helenkeller

yes jacs, i've gotten feedback from people (probably 11 year olds) telling me how wise i am - a nice shot in the arm :)

10:52 pm

helenkeller

LOL jacs - yep, like that

10:52 pm

epsurreal

i need one more K word. I already have ko4. Any hints?

10:53 pm

lshult

if you already have ti4 & ti 6, the ti5 's fit on either side

10:53 pm

jillibus

eps -- anagram the K word

10:53 pm

hiya book

10:55 pm

Jacula

Funniest thing I ever saw in my life was my snobby friend who had a Heinz 57 dog (a mongrel) that was locked back to back woith a stray male dog of similar variety)... they were on her opposite neighbour's front drive. She knew she coldn't separate them and so dried to carry both (as a coupled pair) behind the hedge 'where none of the Mum's on their wway to school could see them'. I'm STILL hooting with laughter about that tale and it was 20 or more years ago.

10:55 pm

jillibus

big, one ti5 is the pl of a ti4

10:55 pm

10:59 pm

helenkeller

11:00 pm

jillibus

well, you're really behind, stid -- next is a Nemo character *going to get one*

11:01 pm

stidmama

I wondered about that Jill -- It tried valiantly to snow here, too. May still, if it precipitates much over night.

11:01 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

bugs? (?)

11:01 pm

Jacula

\It was hysterical watching a 7' 12" woman trying to move about 26lbs of conjoined dog, yes. I know we were the same weight then 'cos we did a joint weight in.

11:02 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

7' 12" means eight feet tall???

11:02 pm

stidmama

no more bugs, I refreshed back to my "November" icon.

11:02 pm

Jacula

Not 7 foot twelve inches. I meant 7 stones and 12 lbs.

11:02 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

OH, oops

11:02 pm

stidmama

thanks Jac -- I had an image of a giantess in my head!

11:02 pm

stidmama

and the wind is picking up so if I disappear, you'll understand...

11:02 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

that's 110 pounds?

11:02 pm

helenkeller

oh, so much clearer now that she;s converted it to 'stones' LOL

11:03 pm

Jacula

LOL - sorry about that! Math has never been my stron point.

11:03 pm

helenkeller

stones have never been MY strong point, lol

11:03 pm

helenkeller

what's a stone?

11:04 pm

Jacula

1 stone = 14 lbs.

11:04 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

one stone = 14 pounds, yes?

11:04 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

we 'Mericans don't use stones. not a bit.

11:04 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

except in our kidneys 8-)

11:05 pm

Jacula

I know, Gwen! You should do! Stones, pouns and ounces aare so mjuch more forgiving!

11:05 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

Oh dear! Just been canoodling before O'H went off to work. I must stop that now if |I'm to clue decently.

11:29 pm

11:30 pm

stidmama

I took Lucky to the vet this evening ($90) because he has an infected eye. The good news was no scratches and nothing embedded. But now I have to wrestle him three times a day for a week to put ointment in the eyes!

11:34 pm

stid, I had to pin my dear Susiecat down on the bed today while I tried to cut off big mats on her side she sleeps on, and she screamed at me like a kid with his first haircut

11:34 pm

ti7?

11:35 pm

stidmama

oh Jill -- poor kitty. Poor you. Buffy does the same thing.

11:35 pm

Jacula

I just sneezed 8 times in a row. I guess that means I am becoming allerigic to my own cigarette smoke. However, I still stand up for the rights of smoker to smoke in their own homes.

11:35 pm

I hated doing it but she hasn't allowed me to groom her properly and didn't do it herself, so...

11:35 pm

11:37 pm

jillibus

gad, my Suze is a longhair and I couldn't bear to have her shaved! It's just her right hip area which is matted and I'm determined to fix it but it's hard to do alone.

11:37 pm

Jacula

I've got a guinea pig with the same prob. She screams the place down when I trim her hair and comb it and cut the tangles out.

11:38 pm

Jacula

jilli - kira, once shaved, and she did lie down and let P do it... seemed relieved once it was done.

11:39 pm

Jacula

She seemed much happier with all that fur gone.

11:39 pm

stidmama

I am heading out. See you lovely folks tomorrow! *poof*
