1:41 am

jillibus

Not evil, sprite -- supplying you with a plethora of Ks for the next gridful.

1:42 am

sprite

people are clueing words sometimes, by referring to the K as "the letter sprite hates". Does that give the picture? ;)

1:42 am

FranMag

sprite, at least dr_g didn't join in the evilness and there are no Ks in the grid today

1:42 am

sprite

lol jilli, ok, that is definitely a positive way to look at it! I think I am going to collect them!

1:42 am

blueruin

that's a great idea!

1:42 am

jillibus

attagirl, sprite!

1:42 am

MeTarzanUJane

1:57 am

FranMag

blue, it's not traumatic or anything. :-) it's pretty funny

1:57 am

jillibus

It's a bit tangled, mar

1:57 am

blueruin

does it have anything to do with restaurants, sprite?

1:57 am

blueruin

because this one doesn't

1:57 am

sprite

it does... somewhere in the lyrics they are sitting in a restaurant having dinner! That is smart of you!

1:58 am

blueruin

you can get anything you want...

1:58 am

blueruin

at alice's restaurant

1:58 am

Joesdinner

hmm. rosacea is in puzzle, but not counting as a word. is it a proper noun?

1:59 am

jillibus

in Alice's Restaurant ... (Arlo Guthrie, as I said)

1:59 am

FranMag

ae7 starts like the US equivalent of a cosmonaut and ends with took a seat tarzan

1:59 am

sprite

rosaceous would be valid

1:59 am

blueruin

indeed, jill. and i don't think i'm too smart, sprite.

1:59 am

FranMag

make it plural for the ae8

2:00 am

blueruin

and...yeah that must have been a strange experience for you, fran

2:00 am

Joesdinner

2:02 am

FranMag

2:02 am

sprite

2:02 am

herinfernallady

Oh dear. My housemate just made the best comment.

2:02 am

sprite

2:03 am

jillibus

nm, blue -- it happens every day/night at this time -- 2:00 am chat time

2:03 am

FranMag

oops!

2:03 am

blueruin

ohhhh. took a seat tarzan out loud sounds like tuccasee tarzan. is that how you spell that word?

2:03 am

sprite

only way to avoid trolling at that point is not hitting enter :)

2:03 am

blueruin

oh. well. i said it like fifty times, sprite.

2:04 am

sprite

ok, ruin, you can join Fran in the sin bin then. Best pl5 to be, to be honest... cookies and drinks and everything!

2:07 am

Joesdinner

goodness, running out of steam at 171. going to be a long puzzle.

2:07 am

jillibus

mar -- at 2 am chat time there is often a glitch and things that people enter in chat don't appear so they keep hitting enter or return (PC or Mac) and the entry reappears many times

2:07 am

sprite

LOL! Ok... let me see... hiccup time: 2 hours after the flip the chat misbehaves.
Sin bin = naughty corner = place you get sent to when you post a grid word into the chat accidentily.

2:07 am

herinfernallady

2:26 am

Just1Mar

I also started playing wordscape on iwin... a d/l'able game...not bad but each game is 20min long

2:27 am

Joesdinner

wordscape bores me - too hard for my little brain.

2:27 am

Joesdinner

i like to type real fast, not figure out long words.

2:27 am

Just1Mar

the ae words are my nemisis (nemises)lol

2:27 am

at least we have a back up possibility here... we might find drG and lickety willing to work out a solution if drG wanted to pull the plug.

2:27 am

dart001

thats what i liked about tangle....2 mins/game....one min break.....then next game

2:27 am

bananafour

I'm not liking Wordsc*** at all

2:28 am

Just1Mar

2:28 am

Just1Mar

at least it's not a typing contest which tangle in a sense was

2:28 am

herinfernallady

NO

2:29 am

bananafour

2:31 am

dart001

4:08 am

lynxxx

and I'm married to a Ken, and my maiden name was Kaigg...nothing wrong with K!

4:08 am

4:08 am

mrpresident

Fiona Klutzer??

4:09 am

mrpresident

oh crap! I just saw how many words today!!!

4:09 am

7:23 am

Uniquity

Oh no....Are we on a code of some colour here?

7:24 am

AsGreen

so, I was trying to use Lickety's yesterday to drag words over - can someone tell me how to do that? after I type in a list, what next?

7:24 am

montreal13

"diving back in"

7:25 am

Aloyisius

are you using Beta V11, asgreen?

7:25 am

lynxxx

Asgreenblatt...did you emaill Lickety to get babbleExpert?

7:26 am

bbnaz

I use the expert asgreen. and not only that, i do the words here and then send it to Lickety so I haven't figured out the reverse.

7:26 am

AsGreen

no - ??? I've paid to be a full memeber

7:26 am

bbnaz

it doesn't cost asgreen

7:27 am

Aloyisius

email Lickety.. he has developed a great program! He will send it to you..

7:27 am

lynxxx

Asgreen - Lickety is quite seperate to Babble, as a favor for his wife and happily the rest of us he provides the list and BabbleExpert

7:27 am

blueruin

the email address is at the bottom of his page

7:28 am

Uniquity

Babble expert is the most hopeful tool I have found for babble yet

7:28 am

bbnaz

Mrpresident is Lickety's better half

7:28 am

AsGreen

ok, so I email lickety - is that on his list page? his email address. Oh yeah, I paid for the upgrade...that's what I did - it was so long ago and then I went (to borrow a phrase) on babbatical for a bit - now I'm back)

7:29 am

Aloyisius

lol, babbatical!

7:29 am

blueruin

LOL

7:29 am

bbnaz

7:29 am

AsGreen

ok - I see the address - will do - sorry to bother!

7:29 am

blueruin

Aloyisius

7:30 am

montreal13

7:30 am

lynxxx

bbnaz - Use the Lickety Add Button on the top of Expert. If you enter into this box you will update babble and Licketys List at the same time

7:30 am

Inge2

babbatical...I like it. nice

7:31 am

AsGreen

OK, emailed, now I'll try to work a bit (on the puzzle that is!)

8:34 am

bbnaz

long story but my best friend and her brother were going to montreal to see a baseball game. at the border the french speaking guards were slower than the two of them wanted so her little brother kept calling them "jacque du mer" after they went through she asked him what he was saying and he thought he was calling them merde du tete (excuse my fracturing of the language). so ever since, jacque du mer is an insult for us.

8:35 am

EvaNadine

hah, i KNOW what merde du tete means!

8:35 am

bbnaz

she about drove off the road when she told him that he as calling them "Jack of the Sea"

marde is french for SH** and tete is french for head. :)

8:40 am

montreal13

now why would the teacher make sure you guys learn that "bad" word ??? ...

8:41 am

EvaNadine

probably the only way to get us at all interested...heh...
plus, i believe he was the "cool" teacher...

8:41 am

EvaNadine

our favorite phrase that year was "merde! et merde encore!"

8:42 am

montreal13

ahhh now it all makes sense...lol

8:42 am

EvaNadine

This is a wonderful grid to see on a foggy, damp day...

9:07 am

okay I am now seriously dizzy after monkeying that silly en8 word.

9:07 am

Scarlet

LOL... oh, Lucien, he literally changed my life... as well as Ayn Rand... to whom I owe more than can be covered in a chatline.

9:07 am

Scarlet

HI, bbnz...lovely present to see this morning!

9:08 am

but I do have my first coffee of the day - hopefully that will help clear this head

9:09 am

Scarlet

I first read Atlas Shrugged when I was ten, then again at 15, etc... Then, the Fountainhead... she absolutely impacted who I am today... I still read her masterpieces every three or fours years, and understand more as I age.

9:10 am

thanks, bb

9:10 am

Can anyone help with the un 7/36 - it's my last word and i need to go to bed

9:10 am

Atlas shugged ranks in my top-5 all-time books scarlet...

9:11 am

bbnaz

to release your doggie from his tether

9:11 am

bbnaz

anike that was for you

9:11 am

Scarlet

bbnaz, so much of what Rand wrote in Atlas Shrugged, is happening today, i.e.: the government, infrastructure, etc. Likewise, Luc... it is my top book... that's why I revisit it periodically... It is new every time...

9:12 am

bbnaz

no doubt Scarlet but I love non-fiction.

9:12 am

bbnaz

have read The Fountainhead though back in the ice ages.

9:12 am

montreal13

it might be classified as "fiction" but rarely a book has been so profound in its meaning and ways to see the world...

9:13 am

Scarlet

Integrity vs power... a classic

9:13 am

anike

ty bbnaz! fireworks - I looked for that earlier but forgot about the n below - was trying to go the other direction. Silly me

9:13 am

montreal13

wtg anike !!

9:13 am

bbnaz

Every so often I will go on a fictional reading binge however.

9:13 am

bbnaz

good onya Anike. Now go to bed

9:13 am

Scarlet

Exactly, Luc... and the profundity is more astonishing as I become a little wiser and realize how very little I do know.

9:13 am

Scarlet

Yahoo for Anike~~

9:13 am

ardilla

thanks bbnaz

9:14 am

ardilla

congrats anike

9:14 am

9:17 am

9:17 am

bbnaz

ae - in the sky + abbreviation for fully soaked

9:17 am

Scarlet

I love ancient history, bbnaz.. Greek, Roman, the very foundations of goverment and philosophical thought...

9:17 am

ardilla

100 words down...

9:18 am

montreal13

history is always fascinating reading - what i know about history, i learned thru reading...certainly not thru schools...

9:18 am

NonoNanette

they looked much better yesterday than against the ravens

9:50 am

bbnaz

my steed's name is in the puzzle

9:51 am

Scarlet

Yep... and the defensive coordinator I was complaining about, must have kicked some tushies, because they were much tighter... and the offensive line was much more disciplined...

9:51 am

Scarlet

What is it, bbnaz?\

9:53 am

rolin

i can see that its a lot more accessible to letters...but find it hard to process...but i tried it..then went back to line..and didnt like the restriction of the lines..lol..so i guess im just gonna have to practice..

9:55 am

Atalante

you just have to almost look through the moving about, if that makes any kind of sense

9:55 am

Jacula

If my username is the same as my screen name on Flickr, that is.

10:02 am

Thanks, bb. I didn't know they were gone until FMitch pointed it out to me.

thanks deb!

10:11 am

Haz1558

If you have pe7/40 (combination of veg and fish) add an extra vowel

10:11 am

Haz1558

Or, add the fish to the preceding pe5/12

10:11 am

flosey

yes, have that, thanks Haz

10:11 am

Atalante

oh what a lovely word!

10:12 am

10:34 am

Haz1558

Hello Uniquity - welcome to civilisation!

10:35 am

Uniquity

Can't get any money from the bank like I intended, but I passed in my paper and I can do the monster grid now while I study. Wahoo!

10:35 am

petemcb

how many total today? When I see how many words people have left, I'm guessing this is a monster.

10:35 am

Scarlet

359

10:35 am

Uniquity

359...It's great!

10:35 am

Scarlet

Yahoo for Uni!! I knew you could do it!!

10:35 am

Haz1558

It's big in terms of size, but is benign.

10:36 am

Uniquity

Hey Ata, Haz and Scarlet

10:36 am

petemcb

that's what I was afraid of. OK, 204 to go.

10:36 am

Haz1558

Congratulations on passing your paper, Uni.

10:36 am

Scarlet

Haz, I am trying to make the reddish skin condition... is it hopeless, or do I keep stabbing at it?

10:36 am

Haz1558

It's hopeless, Scarlet.

10:37 am

Haz1558

The ro words end with the flower.

10:37 am

Scarlet

Thank you! On to other words, then!

10:37 am

petemcb

Haz, you're describing me: a 6'3" 243 lb. social worker. Big and benign.

10:37 am

Atalante

how's the hopefully-not-so-injured one?

10:37 am

Haz1558

I hadn't intended to, pete, but you sound like someone who could befriend people nicely!

10:38 am

abi

hi

10:38 am

Haz1558

Atalante - slight complication in that we now think there is a bit of infection in the paw. Antiobiotics now as well!

10:38 am

Atalante

oh no! poor darling!

10:38 am

petemcb

it's what I do.

10:38 am

Uniquity

What happened to Spangle?

10:38 am

Scarlet

Ohhhh, what happened to our favorite mascot, Haz?

10:39 am

Haz1558

Antiobiotics? Sounds like an irish version Anti O'Biotics.

10:39 am

abi

ERM U GEEKS

10:39 am

Haz1558

It all began on Thursday morning when she lurched out of her kennel, holding up a paw and looking pathetic.

10:39 am

Scarlet

(Of course, SilverClaw is our feline mascot) I don't want Ata to feel left out... LOL

10:39 am

bbnaz

goodness why go through the trouble for such erudite expletives?

10:39 am

abi

NO 1 CARES HAZ

10:40 am

Haz1558

She was given cortisone, painkillers etc, but it's now apparent that her paw is puffy as well, so the big guns are out now.

10:40 am

Scarlet

bbnaz... it seems to be a cautionary flag at this point...

10:40 am

petemcb

phantom word: lesion.

10:40 am

Uniquity

abi, I can guarantee you you're drastically mistaken. And unwelcome from what I saw this morning.

10:40 am

Scarlet

Oh, dear Spangle...

10:40 am

Uniquity

Poor pup...animals re great at looking pathetic

10:40 am

Atalante

poor spangle :( did she tread on a thorn or something?

10:41 am

Haz1558

So, she's stil not really putting her weight properly on the paw, but hopefully things will get sorted out.

10:41 am

Haz1558

There's no apparent injury to the pad or anything, so it's a bit of a mystery.

10:41 am

Scarlet

I cannot stand to see our animals hurting...

10:41 am

Scarlet

Can an insect sting in between the pads, Haz?

10:42 am

Atalante

like Hobbit's ear ... just there somehow

10:42 am

Haz1558

We probably wouldn't have any insects around at this stage of the year to do any stinging damage. Spangle is the only one who knows, and she's not telling.

10:42 am

Scarlet

How is your wonderful Hobbit now, Ata... lampshade off and no more scratching?

10:43 am

Atalante

at least she has her own personal physician

10:43 am

Scarlet

LOL, Ata..

10:43 am

flosey

clue for ca6/21 please?

10:43 am

Haz1558

She does, Ata, even if he does make jokes about Euthatol.

10:43 am

Atalante

lampshade half on ad half off. Off until she scratches enough that the skin starts getting red, then lampshade on for a bit

10:43 am

Haz1558

ca6/21 - Julius or Augustus spring to mind

10:43 am

Atalante

yes! BAD Mr Haz

10:43 am

bichon

ca 6 Julius

10:44 am

flosey

thanks bichon

10:44 am

flosey

and Haz

10:44 am

Haz1558

You're welcome, flosey.

10:45 am

Scarlet

That is diabolically brilliant, Haz... the Euthatol... very funny.

10:46 am

Haz1558

It's the name of the drug, Scarelt. He was drawing up cortisone, I asked what it was, he claimed it was Euthatol.....

10:46 am

Scarlet

LOL...

10:47 am

Atalante

I would not yet have forgiven him for that! I would wait till you make a sauce he doesn't know what's in it, and when he asks, say Euthatol

10:47 am

Scarlet

*snort*

10:47 am

Haz1558

I can't type today. Scarlet, that's your name, not that other aberration.

10:50 am

Haz1558

You're welcome, flosey.

11:05 am

caitlyn

Good afternoon all.........

11:05 am

Haz1558

Good afternoon, caitlyn.

11:06 am

FMitch

I say the teperature is dropping here, think I had better pop the heating on BRB.
Afternoon caitlyn.

11:06 am

NonoNanette

40 left and time for lunch bbl

11:06 am

Uniquity

I was watching a video of hobbit Ata, and found myself shocked at your voice...I discovered that despite knowing where other babblers are from, I imagine them all speaking with a boring American accent (no offence to Americans)

11:06 am

Haz1558

See you Nono.

11:06 am

Niamh

speaking of no accidents, she gave me the sign and I had to run there for a minute.. we're back now

11:07 am

Atalante

LOL Uni, I know that feeling! I always imagine all Americans speaking with a normal boring English accent!

11:07 am

Haz1558

You always think that everyone else has an accent!

11:08 am

Uniquity

I'm trying to imagine everyone as they normally speak. It's very difficult! Even when I use my fake British accent...which I tend to use way too much

11:09 am

Atalante

Haz has probably got the nicest accent, coming from Northern Ireland. Unless she sounds like she's an IRA hitwoman

11:09 am

FMitch

lol Uni

11:09 am

flosey

Fireworks !!! didn't think I'd get this one done - very busy day now

11:09 am

Haz1558

The problem is that there are so many variations on a 'British' accent.

11:09 am

Haz1558

Ah yes, I've got a voice like an assassin's!

11:09 am

Niamh

congrats flosey!

11:09 am

Haz1558

Congratulations flosey!

11:10 am

FMitch

She sounds like Ian Paisley Ata.
Only joking, Haz has a lovely soft accent.

11:10 am

Uniquity

YAY Flosey! A canadian accent, I can imagine that in my sleep :)

11:10 am

caitlyn

I had a great laugh today I had ordered a C.D from Amazon of Paul Potts (Britians got talent winner)I thought it wasa long time coming ..it came today from Argentina ..
Congrats flosey!!

11:10 am

Atalante

*imagines an Ian Paisley accent on the Chief of POlice*

11:10 am

flosey

and there are many canadian accents too

11:10 am

FMitch

Congrats flosey

11:11 am

Uniquity

My stepfather who is from NS lived in BC for a while and was tortured for his accent. Apparently we turn car into a 2-3 syllable word somehow

11:11 am

Haz1558

Yes, chief of police needs no megaphone.

11:11 am

Atalante

Ian Paisley's voice could raise the dead

11:12 am

Haz1558

He's not as loud now as he used to be, though. He's mellowed.

11:12 am

flosey

I had to call for tech support and had one terrible time understanding the accent of a new canadian and felt terrible having to ask him to repeat

11:12 am

FMitch

The C.o.P needs no voice, she just stands there and give you "that look" worse than being back at school

11:12 am

flosey

he was so patient and helpful

11:13 am

flosey

must run now, thanks for all the great clues

11:13 am

FMitch

See Ata, she is doing it now, can't you feel it?

11:13 am

Haz1558

Yes, a look is very effective. ALthough some of my sternest looks have been wasted because some people haven't seen them!

11:13 am

Atalante

I'm blithely ignoring it

11:13 am

bbnaz

woot woot for Flosey!

11:13 am

flosey

see you an hour or so after flip

11:13 am

Haz1558

Oh my!! now I've seen everything. UK ladies, do you remember the young girls mag called Jackie?

11:15 am

Haz1558

Indeed I do.

11:15 am

caitlyn

Yes

11:15 am

FMitch

11:15 am

Haz1558

What sort of names are on it?

11:16 am

FMitch

Just showed the Bay City Rollers, v young David Essex etc!

11:16 am

Atalante

totally before my time :P

11:16 am

Haz1558

David Essex was very handsome. The Bay City Rollers were...... Scottish.

11:16 am

FMitch

Pokes Ata

11:17 am

Haz1558

You missed out on the Bay City Rollers?

11:17 am

Haz1558

No wonder you're smug.

11:17 am

Atalante

only by a few years, but yes

11:17 am

FMitch

Ah the younger generation today, sheesh.

11:17 am

Haz1558

Dear goodness, I've had a thought. They'll not reunite?

11:18 am

Atalante

well I was born in 1974, were they around then?

11:18 am

Haz1558

I can't bear the thought of 40/50 something women pouring themselves into tartan trousers to attend concerts.

11:18 am

caitlyn

Im trying to remember what year we are talking about

11:19 am

Haz1558

Their heyday was in the early 70's.

11:19 am

caitlyn

You are just a baby Ata

11:19 am

FMitch

Oh No Haz please no, what a thought!

11:19 am

Atalante

The first music I remember was Queen adn T-rex - my mother's records from when I was a babe

11:19 am

Haz1558

And not even full length trousers. Half mast ones worn with platform boots.

11:20 am

Atalante

didnt they have tartan floppy caps too?

11:20 am

Haz1558

It was the era that taste forgot.

11:20 am

Marjetta

hi everybody

11:20 am

Haz1558

It it was tartan, Atalante, they had it.

11:20 am

caitlyn

Hi Marjetta

11:20 am

Marjetta

why isn't catapiller a word?!? LOL

11:20 am

Marjetta

Hi Caitlyn

11:21 am

Niamh

hello Marjetta

11:21 am

Atalante

because its caterpillar

11:21 am

Marjetta

hello Niamh

11:21 am

Haz1558

A catapiller is a patented device for giving medicine to a feline.

11:21 am

FMitch

You can find it on Amazon Â£11.95 and it comes with a booket with interviews, gossip and 'Cathy & Claire@

11:21 am

72 Temple Owl

hi all!

11:22 am

caitlyn

Hi TO!!

11:22 am

FMitch

LOL Haz, Hi TO

11:22 am

Niamh

nice one Haz, but does it actually work?

11:22 am

Marjetta

hello TO

11:22 am

Erda

Brava, Haz!!!

11:22 am

Haz1558

So catapiller might well have either a capital letter or be a brand name.

11:22 am

Haz1558

Hello TO.

11:22 am

Niamh

hello TO

11:22 am

Haz1558

Well, I haven't invented the catapiller yet, but I'm sure it would be great..... Atalante could do the drawings.

11:23 am

Marjetta

sounds good to me Haz

11:23 am

Haz1558

Was Cathy and CLaire the agony column, FMitch?

11:23 am

Erda

...and I bet the average cat would find a way to NOT use it...

11:23 am

Atalante

does the catapillar come with a tot of brandy for the person administering it?

11:24 am

FMitch

Sorry was distracted there by the fact you get 2 posters as well. Yes they were Haz.

11:24 am

Niamh

and bandaids... it should come with those too

11:24 am

Haz1558

It comes with a pair of gauntlets attached.

11:24 am

FMitch

Phone

11:25 am

72 Temple Owl

i keep seeing :ipecac" in this grid

11:25 am

Haz1558

I think the catapiller should come with multiple hands each capable of doing something to restrain the cat, to reassure the cat and to get the pill down the cat's throat.

11:26 am

72 Temple Owl

haz just make it robotic.

11:26 am

Atalante

thats the deluxe model

11:26 am

caitlyn

That sounds like any woman Haz!

11:26 am

Niamh

that's a very good idea Haz

11:26 am

Haz1558

My thinking exactly, TO.

11:28 am

Haz1558

How much would anyone pay for such a device? (I'm working on my pitch for Dragon's Den)

11:28 am

inge

does anyone have a clue for the pa 5/12 5/21 combination? I cannot find it for the life of me. Please and thank you.

11:29 am

Atalante

Â£27.95 then you can have a good profit margin

11:29 am

Haz1558

pa5/12 - a variation of spelling for a hymn of praise, inge.

11:29 am

Haz1558

p plus a very long time, then plural for pa6/21

11:30 am

Haz1558

That sounds expensive, but then a catapiller is for life, not just for Christmas.

11:30 am

bbnaz

okay, anybody have any idea what the RE8 is?

11:30 am

Atalante

exactly. and reduces stress *dramatically*

11:30 am

Atalante

you can probably link it to a decrease in heart attacks in cat owners

11:30 am

inge

oops, I got that one . I need the one after the pa****knife

11:31 am

Niamh

bbnaz, plural of the put back what you've used

11:31 am

Haz1558

re8 - either rises up again or gets something different

11:32 am

bbnaz

thank you i swear i was ready to throw myself under the catapiller

11:32 am

Niamh

ooo, don't have the rises up again *looking*

11:32 am

Haz1558

pa5/12 - add a vowel to the end of the pa4/5 before it and then plural it, inge.

11:32 am

FMitch

I had a catepiller once in a big jar and it cocooned and bacame a butterfly. Facinating to watch as a 7 yr old.

11:32 am

Merk

11:32 am

Haz1558

And did you have a releasing ceremony?

11:33 am

bbnaz

ty Niamh, I had that one, it was Haz's that I was missing

11:33 am

Haz1558

Just clued below, Merk - add a vowel, then plural for pa6/21.

FMitch

Yes and it landed on my head, paused and then flew off

11:33 am

inge

11:35 am

72 Temple Owl

11:36 am

caitlyn

Bye inge

11:36 am

Haz1558

You're very dedicated to babble while travelling, Merk. If I tried that I'd be ill with nausea.

11:37 am

Haz1558

Well, good that you get the chance to forget about work and real life for another little while, Eva.

11:39 am

EvaNadine

11:50 am

DISCLAIMER: i know that stats are just numbers and the camaraderie here is primary with finishing the grid secondary. That being said I am getting really really annoyed that the first two columns are moving yet the "Who's Hot" which is supposed to be for a 30 day period, has not moved since I failed to finish one puzzle on November 4th. I mean, even if it only shifted a point but nooooooooooooo, nada, nothing, zilch zip.
okay rant over.

12:28 pm

periwinkle

12:29 pm

EvaNadine

thanks, P, me too!

12:29 pm

Scarlet

And I never did see your sister's name...

12:29 pm

montreal13

Becca Lorum is pregnant - she was to go for her test (name es****s me now) - some of us were kidding her about her getting triplets...

12:29 pm

Scarlet

Oh, I thought there was a slim chance that it might be true... but, knowing you... hmmmmm

12:30 pm

12:55 pm

Scarlet

I bet it is, Uni... last time I decorated, other than a candle and a fancy tablecloth, was for daughter's 17th birthday... on Dec. 18.

12:55 pm

Scarlet

She'll be 26 next week....

12:55 pm

Krista

So are you going all out? OMG,that IS a long time.

12:55 pm

Mum's is also Dec 18 and i've never seen a tree or decoration before that date...I've been pushing her this year though...we might have a tree before that!

12:56 pm

Uniquity

Wow Scarlet...you just blew Lori out of the water! Personal objection or jsut don't want to?

12:56 pm

Krista

We'll have to tell Judy if we see her....

12:57 pm

Scarlet

I always thought is was a great deal of ado about nothing, kind of like Willie's famous speech about Life... a tale told by an idiot...

12:58 pm

Krista

Having small kids helps a lot, Scarlet. I may be just like you some day. Or, ahem, the OLD you. :) :)

12:59 pm

Scarlet

But, this year has been scary in some respects, and I do have so much for which I am grateful... and I have grandchildren now, so for them... (yeah, sure... LOL) Lori's birthday and my daughter on the same date. Wonderful!

Flavorless chestnuts. Wonder why all the hype about them.

4:24 pm

72 Temple Owl

i may have to get clues, when the grid is this large my home pc cannot handle it

4:25 pm

Haz1558

The nice thing about the grid is that there are so many normal words and I always enjoy the first rush of enthusiasm.

4:26 pm

72 Temple Owl

yes! i think i had over 200 until things got challenging

4:27 pm

Haz1558

Having said all that, there are still some new words for me today.

4:27 pm

72 Temple Owl

yes and fun ones too - like the pe7/8's

4:28 pm

Haz1558

Speaking of which I must look up the definition...

4:29 pm

72 Temple Owl

i think i will change my schedule - supposed to work 9 hours but got in late, hate going home in the dark

4:29 pm

Haz1558

That's the nastiest thing about winter, so little daylight. Still, the turn of the nights is coming soon.

4:30 pm

72 Temple Owl

yes. i usually change from 9 to 8 hour days and forego the extra day off

4:31 pm

72 Temple Owl

i so wanted rosacea to be in there, and the plight and light

4:33 pm

mkg

haz i am sorry to have upset you the other day on the grid. i take it all in stride and joke around a lot and well i didnt mean to upset anyone.

4:34 pm

Haz1558

mkg, thanks for that. You maybe don't realise that when you use so many question marks and exclamation marks, it gives the impression that you're getting upset.

4:34 pm

mkg

well i am so sorry. i am sitting laughing when i type that all in.

4:34 pm

Haz1558

I was also frustrated that you seemed to be rejecting clues as being not quite what you wanted or not quite correct. I just lost patience.

4:35 pm

Haz1558

But I appreciate you saying sorry.

4:37 pm

Karys

well...would you believe it.... I've finished !!!!

4:37 pm

mkg

no i wasnt upset with the clues at all. i was just commenting. i dont get upset or angry while at this cuz otherwise why do it? it is only a game after all. so i take it all as fun and funny and interesting. the enable dictionary is amazing to me. my husband prides himself on a very broad vocab and he and i laugh a lot at the enable dictionary. so kknow that i am laughing. anyway life is too short to get upset by this grid or game. so please know that whatever i type in it is with jest.

4:37 pm

Haz1558

I would believe it, Karys - congratulations!

4:37 pm

mkg

way to go karys. i am impressed.

4:37 pm

4:41 pm

Karys

I loved it yet again TO !!!!

4:41 pm

72 Temple Owl

the exchange rate was grand wasn't it?

4:41 pm

Haz1558

If I had any wit I'd be writing Christmas cards, but no, I put it off for another day.

4:42 pm

Karys

I am probably feeling a little smug Haz, since one of the things I was busy with was the cards !

4:42 pm

Karys

TO, the girls couldn't believe their bargains !

4:42 pm

Haz1558

Ah, you can join Atalante in being smug, then!

4:42 pm

Karys

The dreaded wrapping awaits though

4:43 pm

kangabrat

now i'm panicking! i haven't even finished shopping yet...

4:43 pm

Haz1558

Husband is a dab hand. I reckon it's all the experience with bandaging. He knows how to cover things and keep them on.

4:44 pm

Karys

aahh...I have help with the cards, but the wrapping is mine I fear !

Hi Kanga and Karys and anyone else i missed

4:44 pm

Karys

hello herin :)

4:44 pm

72 Temple Owl

is the use of gift bags not widespread in uk?

4:44 pm

kangabrat

hi herin!

4:45 pm

Karys

Haz... I get to catch up with some of the foster kids at this time of the year, which is a bonus ( or not )

4:45 pm

Haz1558

You can use gift bags to a certain extent, but part of the mystery is not knowing what's inside, hence the wrapping.

4:46 pm

Karys

TO..we don't have the Christmas wrapping in the shops as you do

4:46 pm

herinfernallady

Im on the phone arguing pointless rule monkey behaviour. ''No you can not have that cd it doesn't have a cover. No we don't care its one of 4 left in aus and its unavailable anywhere you can't have it'' Arrr head desk

4:46 pm

kangabrat

i've been hoarding shoe boxes all year.

4:46 pm

Haz1558

So, you look forward to seeing some and not others. Are the foster children mostly grown up now.

4:47 pm

72 Temple Owl

the bags hid eoddly shaped items well. i do prefer wrapping, though the bags save the day on late things

4:47 pm

Haz1558

(There should be a question mark there!)

4:47 pm

Takuma Sato

Hi guys. Just dipping in for a bit

4:47 pm

kangabrat

what's the cd, herin?

4:47 pm

Haz1558

Hello Takuma.

4:47 pm

Takuma Sato

looks like loads of fun today?

4:47 pm

72 Temple Owl

hi ts karys, what do you have and not have exactly?

4:47 pm

Karys

me too kanga !!..... Haz, it's not so much 'seeing' as 'hearing', and yes a lot are grown, which doesn't always mean good news !

4:48 pm

Haz1558

It's a great grid, Takuma.

4:48 pm

Karys

hi Takuma

4:48 pm

Haz1558

Ah, sometimes things haven't turned out as you would have hoped?

4:48 pm

herinfernallady

Oh its a very old dance cd. Dj Alligator project. It isn't even available on his website. All ready had 2 tanties at said store and they still wont give me it. Its policy dang it

4:48 pm

herinfernallady

Hi tak

4:49 pm

Karys

Sadly no.....but mostly it's good

4:49 pm

Karys

Hindsight is a wonderful thing !

4:50 pm

Haz1558

Karys, you're still enjoying Cranford? What a mixture of comedy and tragedy all wrapped up in social history. Life has always had its ups and downs.

4:50 pm

Takuma Sato

heh, no 'tase'? But that was the OED's word of the year!

4:50 pm

bethn

hi all! back for final 40

4:50 pm

72 Temple Owl

don't try to talk logic to enable...

4:51 pm

Karys

Yes Haz....it's becoming unmissable, I havn't read the books, so I am unbiased

4:51 pm

Haz1558

Hello beth, one more push...

4:51 pm

mummy

herin, did you try JJB (i think that's the name of the shop)in Camberwell at the top of Riversdale road? they have heaps and heaps of old stuff there?

4:51 pm

Karys

hi beth

4:51 pm

72 Temple Owl

anyway you'll get no sympathy from me, i cannot stand making verbs out of nouns

4:51 pm

herinfernallady

YAHHHHHHH they found my CD.

4:51 pm

kangabrat

goooo herin!

4:51 pm

Takuma Sato

Heh, I'm skeptical of it anyway -- I think it was originally a proper name ('taser' that is)

4:51 pm

Haz1558

I was so shocked when both Walter and Miss Deborah died!

4:52 pm

herinfernallady

Mummy hi. Thanks not on JB hi fis system :( But this legend just ferreted through the stock and found it.

4:52 pm

Takuma Sato

me too, TO. though it's been ubiquitous here. I'm at UF, location of the infamous "Don't tase me, Bro!"

4:52 pm

herinfernallady

Karys i congratulate you on looking after foster kids

4:52 pm

Karys

I was very worried that it might be Miss Matty's turn if the others could go so suddenly !!

4:52 pm

mummy

well done, glad you found it!

4:53 pm

72 Temple Owl

i see! must go, bll i think to finish, only 53 left : p

4:53 pm

Karys

thank you herin, but I have retired from that now, I just have one 'special' still left

4:53 pm

Haz1558

I hope she's safe. I'm just concerned as to how the young doctor will get out of marrying three women.

4:54 pm

Haz1558

Bye TO!

4:54 pm

Karys

silly, silly boy.... just being so nice has got him into all sorts of bother.

4:54 pm

Karys

bye TO !

4:55 pm

Enomis65

good evening babblers

4:55 pm

Enomis65

wow a monster grid!

4:55 pm

Haz1558

Yes, but there's been skullduggery from his friend and those women see a proposal in the most unlikely things. Who'd have thought lavendar gloves could mean so much?

4:55 pm

Enomis65

why doesn't this happen on week-ends!

4:55 pm

Karys

good evening to you Enomiss

4:56 pm

Haz1558

Hello Enomis - it's a big grid, but fun.

4:56 pm

kangabrat

so i can spend time with my kids, enomis? :p

4:56 pm

Karys

Indeed, indeed Haz....you will be careful with gifts this year won't you ?

4:56 pm

Enomis65

well - I am now plunging!!! (plouf)

4:57 pm

Haz1558

I'll look for the hidden meanings carefully!

4:57 pm

Enomis65

kangabrat - you are so right but really, such a big grid is great for Sunday mornings...

4:57 pm

Karys

and do stay clear of lavender

4:57 pm

spellit

l

4:57 pm

herinfernallady

I also get to go to my gym which is in the same center so yah

4:58 pm

Haz1558

I will - not that keen on it as a scent, but it looks wonderful growing in the fields.

4:58 pm

kangabrat

got to go... with 75 still to get. sob.

4:59 pm

Karys

I like it in the garden, when you walk past it is quite gentle

4:59 pm

Haz1558

Yes, I know what you mean, it's okay outdoors, I just don't want to smell of it!

5:00 pm

Haz1558

See you later, kanga.

5:00 pm

Karys

ooohh.... I forgot... I recently learned I am to be a Grandma again !!!

5:00 pm

Karys

bye kanga..hope you get the rest

5:00 pm

Haz1558

How could you forget something like that? Congratulations!

5:01 pm

Karys

I know, I know... thank you, not for ages yet but still....

5:02 pm

Haz1558

It must be fun. I loved seeing my mother with my children when they were little - she just adored them and excused things that I would never have got away with as a child!

5:03 pm

Karys

oh yes....I am exactly the same, mine had to toe the line, but the line has moved somewhat now !!!

5:04 pm

Haz1558

It's the first rule of grandmotherhood. Put on the rose-tinted glasses and keep them on.

5:04 pm

doxy1lover

6:08 pm

saphyre

angelinaxox

hi aussie, flask and scarlet

6:08 pm

saphyre

the family is doing as good as can be expected

6:09 pm

Scarlet

Hi, angelina!

6:10 pm

Scarlet

Saphyre, I was asked if there is a street address for some of us to send cards directly... I know it is irregular, in that Internet security should be sacrosanct, but it is a very special case.

6:10 pm

Krista

Was she someone you knew in "real life," Saphyre?

6:10 pm

saphyre

scarlet - anyone who would like the address can email me at spectrum@bestweb.net

6:11 pm

saphyre

yes Krista - a good friend

6:11 pm

Scarlet

You are so very special, saph. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. *hug*

6:11 pm

Krista

Oh my.

6:13 pm

Krista

Always hard to deal with loss, but moreso this time of year.

6:13 pm

saphyre

She took care of Dakota (my dog) whenever we went away... her son is my best friend - a wonderful family

6:14 pm

Krista

Did she introduce you to Babble?

6:15 pm

saphyre

No Krista - I introduced her to babble - she was housebound and I knew she loved all word games

6:15 pm

Aussieme

You will be getting an email from me then saph..... I would like to send a card to the family..... I know about loss near to Christmas.... My Grandma died December 19th, and was cremated December 23rd, the year I turned 14.... That was one of the hardest Christmases I have dealt with. I am here for you Saph, and anyone else....... xxx {{{{hugs for saph}}}}

6:16 pm

saphyre

thanks Aussieme - I am sure the family would love to know how much her babble friends cared :)

6:17 pm

Krista

Then you certainly gave her a lot of pleasure and company, Saph.

6:18 pm

littlebit

s

6:18 pm

saphyre

I tried - fixed her computer for her whenever she couldn't get online so she could babble :)

6:18 pm

Mooch

anyone have a clue for the 5th ta5/12?

6:19 pm

Krista

I have been trying so hard to remember another Babbler who was going through chemo before I took a long break. I haven't seen her since I've been back and am wondering about her.

6:19 pm

Krista

Just can't think of her name.

6:19 pm

saphyre

I remember that too Krista but do not remember who it was

6:20 pm

Hey Nutty.....

6:46 pm

evanonut

6:46 pm

Scarlet

Awwww... you are a woman of depth, Krista.

6:46 pm

hurshy

haven't had a chance, nut. what's the sugg?

6:46 pm

Krista

I thought his acting was BAAAD in Robin Hood, but I take it you weren't looking at his acting, Aussie. :)

6:47 pm

evanonut

now now, i'm not spoiling it, but i'll let slip that it involves star trek

6:47 pm

Scarlet

And James Earl Jones can't do anything wrong...

6:47 pm

hurshy

lol

6:47 pm

Krista

I must find this Babblecast.

6:47 pm

Aussieme

Awwww, scarlet, just read your message..... that is a lovely sentiment.... lol @ Krista **I AM blushing**

6:47 pm

evanonut

and on costner...i don't think he's a very great actor

6:47 pm

hurshy

he's not, he's not, he's almost as bad as keanu reeves!

6:47 pm

Krista

Yeah, I remember that scene by the river, Aussie!

6:47 pm

evanonut

yes krista, you must find this babblecast...not terribly difficult to find though.

6:48 pm

Krista

**woodpecker on head** (seen it on Family Guy, Hurshy??)

6:48 pm

evanonut

at least keanu makes up for it by being eye candy

6:48 pm

Aussieme

James Earl Jones has a voice to die for, I also Love anything with Morgan Freeman in it....

6:48 pm

Scarlet

Ditto, Aussie!

6:48 pm

hurshy

for looks i would prefer costner. i don't generally go for men with such dark hair. i like a warmer color.

6:48 pm

AtomSmasher420

Lean On Me was good

6:49 pm

evanonut

i could have an affair with sean connery's voice

6:49 pm

Krista

brb

6:49 pm

AtomSmasher420

6:49 pm

Aussieme

Scarlet, Have you seen the film March Of The Penguins ?? Morgan Freeman did the voiceover for it....

6:49 pm

AtomSmasher420

6:50 pm

AtomSmasher420

6:51 pm

Scarlet

The last movie I saw was "Lions for Lambs" and I about had a conniption... I thought I was back in the 60s with the same old, same old Vietnam redux viz Robert's politics... I like Redford, and do not necessarily disagree with him, but I was p'o'ed with the movie...

6:51 pm

Krista

back...wanted to see that, Atom! Was it as good as "they" said??

6:51 pm

Aussieme

6:51 pm

Scarlet

Shawshank was excellent, Aussie.

6:55 pm

Oh, Krista... when the grandchildren visit, it's the Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, Lion King... you name it... fortunately, I love them all!

6:56 pm

Scarlet

Denzel is amazing...

6:58 pm

Krista

It does help to like them...think it would be maddening otherwise! Especially the ones in "high rotation!"

6:59 pm

Scarlet

Oddly, the children would rather play with me, or do something outside than watch a video... busy little beavers! lol

6:59 pm

hurshy
