1:15 am

moonwoof

1:16 am

moonwoof

LOL Nice BW. You can write my carttons anyday {{twirls moooostach vilely}}

1:16 am

moonwoof

t = o for anyone not familiar with typo lingo.

1:16 am

AprilD

PA, public administration, public policy, writing it, researching it, public service (elected officials) down to trash haulers. Public Administration is anyone within government, and also non profits that service the public (social services, etc). I plan on advocacy in the form of worker's rights, especially the working poor aka farmworkers

1:17 am

rururocks

8 left and really stuck

1:17 am

moonwoof

Wha?? I thought you just had to be in the mob to haul trash =P

1:18 am

AprilD

in my school (and most grad schools in the US) that is pa as it relates to American governance

1:18 am

moonwoof

Ty for letting me know. I'm ignorant about American schools, really.

1:18 am

AprilD

well, I don't but your brother might moon!

1:19 am

MayneGuy

What grad school April?

1:19 am

AprilD

I am ignorant about other PA programs. I just happened to love my school and it is local. I saw no reason to look further (no practical reason, since I wouldn't be moving).

1:19 am

moonwoof

Oh, naw. He's a governmental aide, too. I forget to whom. But I never graduated college.

1:19 am

AprilD

Evergreen State College, MPA

gnite bw

1:20 am

moonwoof

He seems to like it. I couldn't be one, either, tho.

1:20 am

AprilD

49 left, thinking it is time for more port and to try and knit half drunk

1:20 am

vedaman

anyone have an so6?

1:21 am

MayneGuy

Funny, my sister graduated from there a few years back

1:21 am

moonwoof

Nite Brandy. Sleep sweet.

1:21 am

AprilD

Mayne, so you know lots about it!

1:21 am

moonwoof

oooo. Port. Good idea.
Sadly, none here.

1:22 am

dart001

so 6= name for the sun.....name for something you put on your skin

1:22 am

moonwoof

Dart, you still here?

1:22 am

AprilD

2 bottles here, one is actually pricey. The other is my regular 'wine'. Great, especially for how cheap it is.

1:22 am

MayneGuy

A little, I know my sister was a little less enthusiastic about the lack of grading, she likes a little more order in her life

1:22 am

dart001

yep

1:22 am

moonwoof

Got Port?

1:22 am

AprilD

Mayne, why did she go there then? I mean, that is a fundamental part of it.

1:22 am

AprilD

Evaluations are a real bitch.

1:23 am

MayneGuy

I also know it rates really highly as a liberal arts college

1:23 am

AprilD

you don't just get a grade (you don't get a grade) you have to self evaluate, evaluate your professors, and have them evaluate you, in each class, and have a meeting with each one to candidly discuss it. It is a lot of work.

1:24 am

AprilD

in the top 10 nationally. Could be higher now.

1:24 am

rururocks

I have le 4/6 X2 + le 5/14 + le 4/4 + lo 4/5 X2 + lo5/12+ lo 5/10 wth am i missing

1:24 am

MayneGuy

She moved to Tacoma when she got married and needed to finish her degree in the States, I think Evergreen had the nicest fit for her in terms of the program she was doing (sociology)

1:25 am

AprilD

did she go to the Tacoma campus? I went there for my last two years for my BA

1:25 am

dart001

lo 4,4 lo 5,10 lo 6,18

1:25 am

AprilD

which has a boatload of soc (my fav)

1:25 am

MayneGuy

I know, I've often thought it would be nice to have that sort of input into your education

1:26 am

MayneGuy

No, she did all here courses at the Olympia campus, she was only there for a year.

1:27 am

AprilD

if I get my master's in two, I will be at Evergreen for 4 years total, but not as a regular student, ever. Tacoma only has like 200 students and is completely different than Olympia. Then grad school is different too. I have had very few young 20 somethings in any of my classes.

1:28 am

MayneGuy

Interesting, I've been thinking about the MPA program at UVic in Victoria, not sure how Canadian programs compare to the US

1:28 am

rururocks

thanks dart.. just three s's to go

1:29 am

AprilD

well, the difference would probably mostly be in the different governance structure.

1:29 am

MayneGuy

I imagine that the majority of the students in that program will have a few years of public service under their belt

1:29 am

AprilD

if I were going to work in Canada, I would study there

1:30 am

MayneGuy

I know that it is the best school in BC for PA, there's some older programs back east in Ottawa and Montreal

1:30 am

AprilD

Not everyone. though many in my class (seems like most) do. I have very little, mostly volunteer and internship stuff. Or very low level stuff (well, I was a horticulturist in a botanical garden, which was non profit, but we were a tiny tiny staff).

1:30 am

rururocks

I have 8 se's + 6 sh's + 3 sl's + 2 sn's + 4 so's what am I missing?

1:31 am

dart001

1 se 2 so's

1:32 am

MayneGuy

btw April, and others, this is MayneGirls son who's visiting for the holidays

1:33 am

AprilD

I am kind of floored and scared to death by the amount of knowlege and experience in my program by the fellow students, at first I was so intimidated. I mean, they were already directors of their departments, and I have only been a worker bee, mostly in manual labor (as a gardener). But, there is a place for everyone, because public service, in my opinion, demands a multitude of life experiences that should be brought to the table. I am interested in the workers, because I have always been one.

1:33 am

GroovyKiwi

good eve all merry christmas and happy babbling

1:33 am

AprilD

and hi Maynes son!

1:33 am

MayneGuy

I've been in the public service for a couple of years now and have been trying to figure out what doors, if any would be opened with a professional grad degree

1:33 am

AprilD

hi kiwi

1:33 am

GroovyKiwi

i hope santa is/has been kind to you all

1:35 am

dart001

hi kiwi

1:35 am

MayneGuy

ty April, I agree that the public service needs people with a diverse array of talents, in BC we're expecting to lose half of our work force in the next 15 years through retirement, replacing those people will be tough

1:35 am

moonwoof

Yeah. And dart didn't indicate he did. =P Guess I'm gonna go dig lol

1:35 am

AprilD

well Mayne, it sounds like lots of doors will be opened for you then.

1:36 am

dart001

1:37 am

MayneGuy

1:37 am

MayneGuy

SNL and I are the same age April

1:37 am

AprilD

1:38 am

moonwoof

The best mead I've ever had (bunches) can oddly be found in West Virginia, of all places. And they ship =D

1:38 am

moonwoof

Very considerate dart, but still amusing, to me. What can I say?

1:38 am

AprilD

I like baileys, with vodka and kahlua of course :)

1:39 am

AprilD

1:39 am

moonwoof

I like Baileys in most stuff (not soda) but I think I like it best in Grasshoppers.

1:39 am

MayneGuy

Yep, first season featured Chevy Chase, Eddie Murphy and James Belushi, not a bad cast

1:39 am

AprilD

1:42 am

MayneGuy

It's a good decade to be from

1:43 am

AprilD

I dunno. Looking back in history a buncha people OD's the year I was born LOL

1:43 am

AprilD

1:44 am

GroovyKiwi

born in the sixties - but im a 80s chick through and through - music clothes hair the works lol

1:44 am

BigFootedMonster

I just have to interject that Eddie Murphy and James Belushi were not in the original SNL cast. John Belushi, Jane Curtin, Dan Akroyd, Gilda Radner, Chevy Chase, Garrett Morris and Larraine Newman were the original players.

1:44 am

moonwoof

I'm directly between the two of you. So to speak. 72.

1:45 am

BigFootedMonster

And I'm right there with Groovy Kiwi.

1:45 am

MayneGuy

my bad on John instead of James, I'm sure I've seen scetches with Murphy though, but thanks for the correction

1:45 am

moonwoof

I'm definately more of an 80's girl, too, Kiwi. Even if it sucked, it wasn't Disco =)

1:45 am

GroovyKiwi

actually throwing a lot of it onto my ipod for the trip as we speak lol

1:45 am

AprilD

1:45 am

AprilD

and Jane!

1:46 am

moonwoof

We used to have 80's music trivia nights. Ahhhh. How I miss them.

1:46 am

BigFootedMonster

I remember watching the series premiere. I believe George Carlin was the host, and Andy Kaufman was on.

1:47 am

dcseain

ah Andy Kaufman :)

1:47 am

AprilD

Andy, what a crazy dude

1:47 am

moonwoof

But hilarious...

1:47 am

MayneGuy

You'll have to excuse me, I was an infant and my memory is a littel shaky :)

1:48 am

AprilD

well, I was a true new waver, through and through. You can't take the new waver out of a new waver, ever.

1:48 am

BigFootedMonster

1:48 am

BigFootedMonster

Land Shark!!!

1:52 am

moonwoof

Nite April. I'll envy your Port from afar.

1:52 am

GroovyKiwi

something like that lol

1:52 am

GroovyKiwi

1:52 am

MayneGuy

That's cool. I liked him there, too. But not as much as BB.

1:53 am

moonwoof

Which extra were you?

1:54 am

GroovyKiwi

ya know the bit where the marshmallow man gets blown up and all the marshmallow falls down over the crowd - well i was one of the crowd lol

1:54 am

MayneGuy

alright, I'm handing this off to another family member, night all, good luck and happy holidays

1:54 am

GroovyKiwi

nite mayne sweet dreams

1:54 am

moonwoof

Oooo. That woulda been Sweet!

1:54 am

moonwoof

Nite MayneBoi

1:54 am

dcseain

how messy was that?

1:55 am

moonwoof

I bet that was a Ton of fun... depending on what they used for marshmallow...

1:55 am

GroovyKiwi

the funny thing was was that we were on holiday and visiting new york doing a tourist thing on the bus when we got stopped and asked did we want to stand in the crowd as they needed more ppl lol

1:55 am

moonwoof

But that had to be a cool story to take home from vacation...

1:55 am

GroovyKiwi

no speaking part no credits but it was a heck of a lot of fun

1:56 am

dcseain

what a cool random thing to encounter on vacation

1:57 am

GroovyKiwi

ive done a few local tv things too in my life lol - was a contestant on both local versions of sale of the centuary and wheel of fortune

1:57 am

GroovyKiwi

and i did a three year stint as production accountant for a small tv production company

1:57 am

GroovyKiwi

so i got credits on their shows lolol

1:57 am

dcseain

neat, kiwi

1:58 am

moonwoof

That's even more funny. My dad's basically an accountant and he waits thru All the credits until he finds out who the production accountants are. I wonder if he knows your name.

1:58 am

GroovyKiwi

i was gonna be an extra too in the LOTR trilogy films but i couldnt get the time off my real job lol

1:59 am

GroovyKiwi

probably not moon as they were new zealand local content shows

1:59 am

dcseain

the credits are half the fun, moon

1:59 am

GroovyKiwi

though if you know the comedian strassman i work on a couple of his shows here

1:59 am

moonwoof

I think so, half the time. My dad Only looks for the accountants, tho. He collects some Very odd things.

1:59 am

GroovyKiwi

then there were a couple of game shows and a music show

2:01 am

moonwoof

I suppose Kiwi. But he's an odd duck. With cable and satTV I'm hard pressed to say either way lol

2:03 am

jan

April, what port are you drinking? It's Dows 1983 here...with a Warres 10 year old tawny when the Dows gets drained...

2:03 am

moonwoof

She took off jan, sorry.

2:04 am

jan

2:04 am

moonwoof

Nite jan. Merry xmas

2:05 am

jan

Merry Christmas to you too moonwoof. Back tomorrow for the last 14

2:10 am

dcseain

g'night jan

2:15 am

moonwoof

hey dc? Are these games ranked by time spent, at all?

2:15 am

dcseain

no, moon.

2:16 am

moonwoof

ok, good. Otherwise I'd be getting worried, sitting here, monkeying.

2:16 am

dcseain

how the rankings are calculated is explained by a link in the upper left of rankings page. it relates to finishing grids, and how much you found if not finished

2:16 am

dcseain

penalties are harsh for not finishing. really better not to start rather than not to finish in most cases.

2:16 am

dcseain

brb

2:18 am

gran

How many words this Christmas morning

2:18 am

moonwoof

Merry xmas.

2:18 am

gran

2:19 am

moonwoof

2:21 am

movieman

I'll give Lickety the benefit of the doubt then

2:21 am

moonwoof

Seriously, they were in and out here All night. I figured for the kids.

2:41 am

dcseain

*passes moon the last cupcake*

2:41 am

3:22 am

moonwoof

3:22 am

dcseain

i think it's that they're from Costco.

3:23 am

moonwoof

I saw a really funny video last week. The song was pretty good... It was by a Jewish kid who does the same thing. gets Chinese that is.

3:23 am

moonwoof

Oh. No you didnt misread. But I wont need one, today.

3:25 am

3:25 am

moonwoof

That's why its Karma =)

3:26 am

dcseain

grazie, moon

3:26 am

moonwoof

Actually, According to this kids video, it's cause they're busy cooking for the Jewish families.

3:26 am

moonwoof

No problemo. =)

3:27 am

grannyrose

brb, must have drink and a little walk around, joints stiffening up, LOL, you should hear the creaking

3:27 am

moonwoof

I guess that could be "family time" tho lol

3:27 am

dcseain

see you soon, rmcc

3:28 am

moonwoof

At first i missed the theatre part

3:28 am

dcseain

i grew up with a week of 24/7 baking leading up to xmas eve, wrapping up at 1500 on the 24th.

3:29 am

dcseain

we turned out 200 dozen of various cookies, 40 dozen of assorted pastries, plus fudge and chocolate-covered peanut butter balls.

3:29 am

moonwoof

That sounds like it'd be kinda nice... We traveled too much for that, I think.

3:29 am

moonwoof

Ok. Now that sounds Way better than nice. That sounds heavenly...

3:29 am

dcseain

one type of cookie keeps into Summer. :)

3:30 am

dcseain

and they re-bake well if they need freshening.

3:30 am

moonwoof

My mom is a terrible cook, tho. I'd be kinda afraid of what might turn up if she tried that many varieties...

3:30 am

dcseain

found the yiddish in the grid today. where's ruru? :D

3:30 am

moonwoof

My grandma made a german cookie that had to sit for 3 months before xmas, so you wouldnt break your teeth, tho.

3:31 am

moonwoof

He took off before I found it too.

3:31 am

dcseain

huh.

3:31 am

moonwoof

She makes decent rum balls, tho.

3:31 am

dcseain

he greets me now with "Oy! it's dc" or something to that effect now :D

3:32 am

dcseain

rum balls are a favourite of mine. Met them for the 1st time when i was 7, have loved them since.

3:32 am

moonwoof

I found out about the teeth thing when I found like 6 Huge jars down in her basement and thought she might not miss one or 6. Tough lesson.

3:32 am

dcseain

there used to be a candy shop in Occoquan, VA that did nice onces.

3:33 am

dcseain

there's a bakery on 8th ave at W 56th in NYC that does ones w/candied fruit in them. i don't care for theirs so much. i hate candied fruit.

3:33 am

moonwoof

Blech. Rum balls shouldnt have candied fruit.

3:33 am

dcseain

sing it, Sister!

3:34 am

moonwoof

Godiva does a nice rum chocolate, comecially. It doesnt suck.

3:35 am

dcseain

Ritter Sport does too, but it's hard to find here in the States.

3:35 am

dcseain

i used to have a friend who brought them back from Germany.

3:35 am

moonwoof

And my mom's recipie is surprising easy. (I think one reason she never made bad ones.) I think I may have a copy somewhere...

3:36 am

moonwoof

That's why I mentioned Godiva. They're easier to find if you dont cook much. Like me. =)

3:36 am

moonwoof

At least, in the states.

3:36 am

grannyrose

i'm back!

3:37 am

dcseain

wb, rmcc! :)

3:37 am

herinfernallady

I sure as heck did. Man i ate too much Chocolate

3:54 am

herinfernallady

Angel can i please say something

3:54 am

herinfernallady

Angel can i please say something

3:54 am

Angelsong

my paternal grandfather died on December 22, 1983, and his funeral was the following day.

3:55 am

moonwoof

Funerals at xmas are about as cool as rum balls with candied fruit. And those aren't very cool at all.

3:56 am

herinfernallady

Have you thought that maybe the Grandparents are watching you transit into your new house and are glad you have finally found somewhere new and safe and some where to restart old traditions. I feel that they are watching over you. Please try not to be sad. Im sure that they are happy for you to enjoy this time with the family no matter how trying that senile Uncle Ernie is or how crazy Aunt Hattie has got

3:56 am

moonwoof

I thought you were enjoying the new house, tho... Is that changing?

3:57 am

Angelsong

thank you, herin. I do feel they are close...and thatt they are happy for me...I just miss them so much, and I wish they could see my new home.

3:58 am

Angelsong

not a bit. I still love the new house. I am so happy and peaceful here.

3:58 am

herinfernallady

Also do you have a pic of them together in that hall of yours? Maybe they would like pride of place on that wall or on a mantle?

4:00 am

Angelsong

I think some of the emotions I'm feeling are because we decided not to decorate this year...so it feels like something is missing. what with moving, unpacking, my husband's school/finals decorating was a bit much.

4:00 am

moonwoof

Well, good. Had me worried there for a second. But you know they wouldnt want you to miss them... or, especially, feel bad over the holidays. You have so very much to Enjoy.

4:01 am

herinfernallady

This is driving me nuts sorry having a second sight thing happening

4:01 am

Angelsong

yes, I have pictures, but they have not been hung yet...although my husband did hang some pictures and my degree on my office walls yesterday.

4:04 am

grannyrose

angel, my maternal grandma died 3 weeks after i was married ( the first time ). years later i had my first baby, he was crying so much, especially at night. i was really low and depressed. one night my grandma came to me, and said, get on with rosemary, you're the only one that little baby wants . from that night on, i never looked back, and i will always remember how nana came back and encouraged me.

4:07 am

grannyrose

by the way, i was wide awake at the time, lying there, listening to my baby crying

5:47 am

phandmd

good morning. One kid up (the youngest/boy) the others are sleeping still

5:48 am

sprite

we had a lovely breakfast, then the kids and I cuddled while reading thefinal english Harry Potter together. Now it is babble time for me... hubby and kids crawled back into the big bed for another cuddle, lol.

5:50 am

phandmd

today my idea is to just watch x-mas programs on t.v. or those we already recorded and do nothing.

5:50 am

phandmd

all after present opening of course

5:50 am

lynxxx

Good morning Sprite and everyone. I hope you all have had or will have a happy day as I have had, spending time with family and friends. A happy & peaceful Xmas to you all!

5:51 am

Andree

hi lynxxx

5:51 am

sprite

we don't have presents with Xmas here. This afternoon we will go canoeing, then have a midwinter BBQ. After that, home, dvd, warm cuddling. Tomorrow: nice breakcast, lazy day, mantra singing, mandala drawing and colouring... lovely family day.

5:52 am

lynxxx

Hi Andree - I hope you didn't spoil those grandchildren too much

5:52 am

sprite

lynxxx! *hug* and I wish you Light in all your days and nights.

5:52 am

phandmd

do you do it on the 6th of December?

5:53 am

Andree

I did lynxx and enjoyed every moment

5:53 am

sprite

on the 5th, to be precise, yes :) At Sinterklaas.

5:53 am

lynxxx

Good on you Andree - I'm just a bit jealous

5:54 am

o-o

fortunately , crapulence is not contagious

5:56 am

sprite

hi BabbleRabble, good to see you. I wish you Light in all your nights and all your days.

5:56 am

lynxxx

Sprite - your celebration seems to be more original - is Sinterklaas the original Santa Claus?

5:56 am

Andree

hi babble

5:57 am

lynxxx

hello BabbleRabble

5:57 am

o-o

Hello, peoples best wishes

5:58 am

sprite

Yes, I think so, lynxxx. Sint Nicholas was a patron of children. We celebrate a night of gifts and innocent fun (with tease presents and rhymes) on the evening before his birthday.

5:59 am

sprite

Xmas is originally not with gifts here, though the influence of the US and the commerce try to make it so. We celebrate Xmas with family things (and close friends), it is a more solemn celebration, focused on the inner Light and the birth of Christ for those who believe in that.

6:01 am

Merry Christmas People

6:01 am

sprite

or, for some people, an occasion to spend loads of money on even bigger loads of food, and stuff themselves.

6:01 am

hi lady, *hug* To you too.

lynxxx

I'm not religious Sprite, but that does seem more fitting

6:02 am

lynxxx

Hi Infernal - you have had a happy day?

6:04 am

lynxxx

Congrats Mari. Your lovely sentiments are echoed

6:04 am

jean1953

good morning everyone, Happy holidays:)

6:04 am

sprite

it is for me, anyway, lynxxx. Though I am religious in my own, weird way, I don't feel 'merry' this time of year. Exuberant festivities don't appeal to me. But I like to focus on Midwinter, on the light that starts winning from the dark again, from the process of everything turning into itself, drawing back power and life into the deepest core, and then the reversal of it. So that in our core the Light is born again and can start preparing for the outer birth as well.

6:05 am

sprite

you too, jean!

*climbs off chair again.... sorry, did not mean to start preaching here!*

6:06 am

Andree

hi jean

6:06 am

lynxxx

Is there a 6 letter f word that is a mexican food in the grid? not sure of the spelling

6:14 am

sprite

I have a 6 letter F word, but I don't know what it means. It contains a foreign word for milk, I think.

6:15 am

Andree

i have 2 6 letter f words, have no idea what they mean

6:15 am

sprite

and just like the profiles, the ? buttons don't work either for me yet. I have to find out what is blocking it all.

6:16 am

sprite

ah, found the other F6. Anagram of the first.

6:16 am

Andree

sound like alternate spellings of fl5/18

6:17 am

sprite

want me to go find the meaning, lynxxx?

6:17 am

herinfernallady

I think i may ahve caused offense by bragging be fore but i am soooooo excited today

6:17 am

littlebit

good morning and merry christmas everyone!

6:18 am

6:18 am

Andree

hi little

6:18 am

sprite

merry Xmas littlebit

6:18 am

lynxxx

6:30 am

ch1212

Well, I hope you will continue to share with us, especially if it kind of 'hits' in the coming days. There seems to be something more final about the actual paperwork, even when it's been years. ((( hugs ))) to you.

6:30 am

rolin

honestly sprite... the heavy stuff was over a loong time ago..

6:31 am

sprite

I know, hun, I know. But finalising it is always a bit of a THING. *hugs*

6:33 am

rolin

well it was kinda sweet really...cos his new partner's b/day was the friday and he went to the court house so it would be done on that day... so i told her she'd better look after him ..cos i wasnt gonna get her another b/day present like that...lol

7:29 am

pam

Gosh, I would have preferred a larger grid today...

7:29 am

hurshy

no but they have the same color hair, they both enjoy being wapped, they both enjoy grabbing their mama's finger, they are about the same size, they make similar noises, they both sleep a lot...

7:30 am

Brookie

why's that pam?

7:30 am

pam

because I like the larger grids...

7:30 am

pam

especially on a day off...

7:31 am

Brookie

7:31 am

hurshy

i have toooo much to do, i'm glad it's not too big... sorry pam. but i can shake my boggle cube and make you a second grid if you want.

7:32 am

pam

LOl, hursh! I don't have a lot to do. I am, however, being picked up at 2 EST for an afternoon of Christmas Cheer, so it's not like I am going to be alone...

7:32 am

Although, alone would not have sucked as badly this year as it would have last... enough of this ramblingon, LOL

7:33 am

Hi Uniquity! Are you home with Mom?

8:28 am

Scrabbler

Hi Lori! Enjoying the day so far? Before I went to bed at about midnight, I checked the NORAD Santa report and he was in Labrador so I knew you would be getting your deliveries soon after.

8:30 am

Uniquity

The Norad Santa tracker was incredibly complicated...he came to NS, then took a huge detour...then came back, maybe?

8:30 am

Uniquity

She is cleaning the rest of the ham we had for supper last night while I lounge and babble

8:31 am

Scrabbler

Yes, his global route was rather random.

8:31 am

arleneehm

phone - back later

8:31 am

Uniquity

it was 8:30 here and he hit dartmouth...so we sent the boys to bed, but then he went to south america for some time

8:32 am

Scrabbler

Well, he IS Santa, so he can do his deliveries however he wants, right?

8:32 am

Scrabbler

Do you have a few weeks off before the next semster?

8:32 am

9:07 am

flosey

this year, we are not celebrating until Friday - one daughter is working they'll come over Thursday evening

9:07 am

Uniquity

Exactly...I slept til 7:30 because my brothers were distracted by the socks until then. But, i was promptly roused by yelling kids :)

9:08 am

Uniquity

At least it allows for sleep, Flose! Our big family get-together is not til Saturday

9:09 am

flosey

ah, so same thing - actually quite appreciated here, has been such a last minute rush this year

9:09 am

Uniquity

It is nice if you are a late shopper too...everything is on sale!

9:10 am

flosey

lol - or, as in one thing that I was mulling over, all sold out by time I went back

9:11 am

Uniquity

True, but there are always returns tomorrow and day after. Well, depends on your province, but you get the point

9:13 am

flosey

yes, BC here Uni, and we live on Salt Spring Island, so have to take a ferry to go over to Victoria to shop

9:13 am

Uniquity

Oh! Well that is far more complicated than I had imagined, lol

Scarlet, we weren't going to come, as it means not having Christmas with our family, but we see family all the time, and rarely see our old friends in California

9:36 am

Scrabbler

Yippee, my migraine seems to have disappeared.

9:36 am

Scarlet

There can be only one 50th, Fiber... 'tis the season of giving, and you are giving yourself... how beautiful!

9:36 am

Gail

Baked ham. roasted potatoes and carrots, mashed sweet potatoes, homemade baked beans and cranberry orange relish.

9:36 am

Scrabbler

My parents 50th anniversary will be 10/25/08.

9:37 am

gopikrishnancmc

how does turkey taste?...i mean what makes it better than chicken

9:37 am

Fiber Art

Are you planning something for your parents, Scrabbler?

9:37 am

Scrabbler

Yummy, Gail. When do we eat and where do you live?

9:37 am

Scarlet

Gail, when I leave joanne's, I'll knock on your door, okay? LOL

9:38 am

Gail

Any time is fine. Just head for Vermont and give me a call.

9:38 am

Scrabbler

They will likely not want anything done, but it should be recognized that they didn't kill each other along the way.

9:38 am

Scarlet

gopik, I don't think it's better than chicken, but it is a more dense type of fowl... milder flavor... very versatile...

9:38 am

Fiber Art

Aha, that is a real accomplishment, Scrabbler

9:38 am

Scrabbler

I visited Burlington in Oct 2006 and fell in love.

9:39 am

Gail

I am about 40 miles south of Burlington, in Rutland.

9:39 am

Scarlet

I am laughing, Scrabbler...we had some family members who nattered on at one another constantly, but would be lost if they didn't have a "battle" partner...

9:40 am

Scrabbler

I once went to a tennis camp in Killington and we played indoors in Rutland, if I recall, on a rainy day. I would move to VT if my family were not here.

9:40 am

Scrabbler

Yes, Scarlet, my parents are like that--couldn't live without one another, but frequent bickering. My father is a saint.

9:41 am

Scarlet

We love them anyway, Scrabbler. Enjoy your day... I have to run... blessings to one and all! :-)

I have Christmas music that I put on my laptop. Thanks for reminding me to cue it up.

The music at church last night was so beautiful. Now I am listening to one of my favorite CDs, Lowen and Navarro - At Long Last, Christmas.

9:50 am

Scrabbler

I do both, Periwinkle. Visually I prefer Scramble, plus I like to rotate the grid halfway. There are some superstars on Scramble, including some familiar names from Noggin.

9:50 am

pam

Wishing all tidings of comfort and joy. And, I wouldn't mind world peace, too...

9:50 am

Scrabbler

Hi Pam!! I thought of you when I awoke with a migraine this AM. Sad, but true.

9:51 am

Fiber Art

I had to turn off the Christmas music. It makes me homesick.

9:51 am

Scrabbler

I love the brass music.

Oh, scrabs, so sorry. Must be the weather...

Scrabs, hope it doesn't last all day

9:52 am

periwinkle

do you need a script for the naproxen

9:52 am

Scrabbler

Will you call family, FA?

9:52 am

Scrabbler

No, OTC--works better than ibuprofen, at least for me.

9:52 am

pam

LOVE naproxen. The regime doc gave me was 3 naproxen, one vic... (I am super tolerant of these meds...)

9:52 am

Fiber Art

Hi, Pam. Other than that, we're having a good time. Scrabbler, so sorry about the Migraine. Good idea about the phonecall. Yes, I will!

9:53 am

periwinkle

what is the brand name so I can tell my friend who gets migraines

9:53 am

Scrabbler

Yes, I tried naproxen last spring and it typically aborts the migraine within 1-2 hrs.

9:54 am

Scrabbler

"Aleve", but I buy generic.

9:54 am

periwinkle

okay, thanks, Scrabbler

9:54 am

pam

I know how that goes, fiber

9:55 am

Fiber Art

I need to clone myself

9:55 am

Scrabbler

I get sentimental about Xmas's as a kid, with my late grandparents and with all of my cousins around. Those were great days.

9:55 am

pam

I find it works best for me. I don't bother with ibuprofen--doesn't have any affect on my headaches AT ALL.

9:56 am

pam

Xmas as a kid was with christian friends, so it was always nice because we were out of our crazy house...

9:56 am

periwinkle

I will tell my friend about the naproxin, thanks pam and Scrabbler

9:56 am

Scrabbler

I agree, Pam. I tried it after a local pediatric rheumatologist told me it is more potent than ibuprofen and she uses it on her arthritis patients.

9:57 am

pam

Sure, peri. I used to have a script for it, and that was the equivalent of 3, but I wouldn't advise that unless a doc says so.

9:57 am

Scrabbler

Yes, Pam, to be with "normal" adults and families was always a relief and such refuge.

9:57 am

pam

EXACTLY, scrabs...

9:58 am

periwinkle

I see Aleve advertised on TV for arthritis pain

9:58 am

Fiber Art

Christmas as a kid was only with my mother. Now, typically there are about a dozen people--my kids, my hubby, kid's hubbies and wives and children.

yay, peri!!!!

10:00 am

periwinkle

that was my first O

10:00 am

Scrabbler

Oh, I just got og4 and og5.

10:00 am

pam

It is better for some types of pain, and longer lasting, peri... And, for me, MUCH more effective on the headache pain

10:01 am

Fiber Art

those are all my o's, scrabbler. two to go.

10:01 am

Scrabbler

And I found another og4 and 5--so my left side is grey. TY for the motivation, Periwinkle.

10:01 am

periwinkle

wouild it work for rotator cuff pain

10:01 am

periwinkle

YAY for Scrabbler

10:01 am

periwinkle

10:02 am

it is worth a try, peri. It is used for menstrual cramps, too...

10:02 am

Fiber Art

yay, got all the o's

10:02 am

pam

Yay, scrabs

10:02 am

periwinkle

well, I am past menstrual cramps :-)

10:02 am

Scrabbler

Yes, is it a NSAID--non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug. These include aspirin, iburpofen, naproxen, Relafen and others--inc;uding recalled drugs Vioxx, Celebrex, Bextra.

10:02 am

periwinkle

Yay for Fiber!!

10:02 am

pam

LOL, peri

10:03 am

pythonx

would you care to clue the first og4 & og5?

Hysterectomy 11/01 was a milestone!

pam

yes, python, I think you've got it...

10:04 am

periwinkle

Yay for pam!!

10:04 am

Gail

NSAIDs aren't always safe, I have an incurable form of colitis from taking them for lupus for many years. You have to be careful.

10:04 am

Scrabbler

Yes, that is it, python!!

10:04 am

pythonx

ty

10:04 am

periwinkle

okay thanks Gail

10:04 am

periwinkle

don't want colitis

10:04 am

Scrabbler

Yes, they have adverse effects---GI bleeding, increased risk of stroke and heart attacks.

10:05 am

Gail

I was on Bextra for a couple of years. It worked great, but was not safe and was recalled.

10:05 am

periwinkle

I think that is why I didn't take Aleve when I first saw it advertised

10:05 am

pam

True, gail, which is why my doc and I talk... But debilitating pain isn't safe, either, and since I am regularly screened for colon cancer, I am glad I am so far so good with pain relief and no side effects to date...

10:05 am

Scrabbler

Yes, my father took that for arthritis.

10:05 am

bichon

my husband takes them all the time for his knees. He also takes glucosimine chondroiten. He doesn't seem to be afraid of the side effects

10:06 am

Gail

I agree, Pam. My kids and I have migraines, too. It's hard to know what to do.

10:06 am

pam

Well, peri, people get the same colitis from aspirin and ibuprofen. And, they take too much tylenol and destroy their livers... I think it is all in being informed and followed by a care provider

10:06 am

Scrabbler

I need breakfast or hypoglycemia will trigger a migraine return. BBS

10:06 am

periwinkle

okay

10:06 am

pam

It is hard, gail...

10:06 am

I had the most wonderful surprise today. My son sent me some tea from Pete's with a little "tea for one" pot. I think it had been at the unused front door for a while but the view from the street was blocked by the piles of snow. Sun. we had high temps and a rainstorm and a lot of the snow was washed away. In my walk with the Bichon this AM I spotted it. Now that's sort of a miracle

2:31 pm

lynxxx

ML - do you have mo4.10? if so just add the plural letter

2:31 pm

MLFAN17

2:31 pm

lynxxx

(There is 2 different plurals for the mo4.10)

2:32 pm

Exactly. Hubby doesnt get that, tho. So I figure when we build a house, it'll have to be on a Mountain. And have his part at the bottom and mine at the top. With an elevator.

2:32 pm

3:55 pm

Vicuna

Howdy, sprite! How are you?

3:55 pm

3:55 pm

And how are you?

That is wonderful, and what Christmas *should* be all about. =)

3:57 pm

LadyNatts

HI herin :)

3:57 pm

Vicuna

I'm spiffy, too. We've had a very pleasant day.

3:57 pm

sprite

so true! We kept it very simple and it was just perfect. And tomorrow will be simple too, and quiet and at home... drawing, colouring, singing. Easy does it :)

3:57 pm

Ooh, Congrats Vic!

3:59 pm

herinfernallady

Hello Natts. Uni are yuo and Lori friends??

3:59 pm

Vicuna

Husband has work again tomorrow, but the rest of my family will still be around and we'll find something leisurely to do, I'm sure.

3:59 pm

Uniquity

Lori is my mother Herin, I am home for Xmas holidays

4:00 pm

sprite

grin, you should, and so should LoriP. I think we were with at least 3 or 4 people who wanted to make you guys pro... I lost, grin.

4:00 pm

sprite

*hugs Vic*
Sounds good to me! Enjoy it :)

4:00 pm

Uniquity

I read, yesterday! I was overwhelmed by the original generosity, but when I discovered just hoe many people SEPERATELY had the same plan, my mind was blown. Thank you so much for the consideration

4:01 pm

herinfernallady

Ok Cool Wow big dumb grin on my face at the kindness of babblers. Jadeamoan paid for my sponsership

4:01 pm

herinfernallady

or how about sponsored my membership (that sounds better)

4:01 pm

Vicuna

Thanks! And now I'll rejoin the bosom of my family, who are currently discussing dinosaurs, in which we are very interested these days.

4:01 pm

sprite

so somebody el4 is going to be the lucky one, grin. It is good to keep some dear babblers even closer by tying them to the site forever!

4:02 pm

herinfernallady

VIc laters.

4:02 pm

Vicuna

Hugs to sprite, Merry Christmas where applicable, and Season's Greeetings to all!

4:02 pm

sprite

have fun, Vic! I loved seeing you again.

4:02 pm

Uniquity

I have been thinking about it..Saphyre also wants to sponsor someone in memory of GrannyMax...I have a couple ideas for her

4:03 pm

sprite

Granny has an eternal candle in my heart. I miss her.

4:03 pm

Uniquity

Dinosaurs, Vic? That's awesome! Enjoy your family and fun

4:03 pm

Vicuna

(And of course welcome to the wonders of pro-ship for Uniquity and Lori. Like marriage, pro-ship should merely be the outward sign of a relationship that has already been proven.)

4:03 pm

herinfernallady

yes oh how i miss Granny. Happy TInsel thoughts for you my dear

4:03 pm

sprite

I love how you put that, Vic

4:04 pm

sprite

ok, now for real, I am off. *poof*

4:04 pm

Uniquity

Ooh. Sprite's gone too? Enjoy!

4:05 pm

herinfernallady

I am in the most joyous mood

4:06 pm

Uniquity

Isn't it sleepy time in Australia? Or have I got myself all muddled again...Time Zones are tricky

4:07 pm

herinfernallady

No its not its 9am boxing day. I got so horridly spoilled by everyone. I didn't ask for anything this year

4:08 pm

Uniquity

Wow, you're 15 hours ahead of me. Maybe I will remember that sometime...Any big plans for the day?

4:08 pm

herinfernallady

Eat more ham

4:09 pm

herinfernallady

Buy new microwave read instructions on new camera

4:09 pm

Uniquity

Aww...man. I had a delicious homesmoked ham last night...Mmmm. New camera sounds fun...I adore technology

4:11 pm

herinfernallady

Yum Uni i got the new Canon Iso 70 from my parents. I was shaking when i was playing with it this morning. There was lots of wholly sh??s when i opened it. Then my b,f spoilled me with presents. My house mate gave me a Death head, he looks like Death from Hogfather.

4:13 pm

Uniquity

Sounds like a fabulous treat Herin

4:15 pm

herinfernallady

Yes the kindness had me in tears. We gave my b.fs mum earings and she squelled that was nice

4:18 pm

Uniquity

I s'pose I was more taken aback, but I was in tears after Ata told me to sign out and in again....Most unexpected gift of the year

4:18 pm

herinfernallady

Uni how is family day going for you?

4:18 pm

herinfernallady

That was very cool of Ata and Haz. Which i have not seen Ata about

4:21 pm

LoriP

It is a fabulous thing that Haz did, and I can vouch for Uni's tears from Ata's kindness. A few tears on my part, that Haz would do such a thing for me. A stranger.

4:21 pm

herinfernallady

Hi Lori.

4:21 pm

LadyNatts

so can someone tell me ... where do you go to play and get the chat and the video at the end?

4:21 pm

Uniquity

We're just suckers for great people ;)

4:22 pm

Uniquity

Well Lady...since I have no pro experience yet, I dunno, really. But the video popped up upon completion for me yesterday (while using babble expert)

4:23 pm

LadyNatts

but what's babble expert? and where do you find it?

4:23 pm

LoriP

Merry Christmas LadyNatts, but, like Uni, I have no experience. I finished, and the video popped up.

4:23 pm

LoriP

e-mail Lickety for a copy of Babble expert. It's awesome.

4:24 pm

LadyNatts

I guess you have to BECOME a babble expert or something...

4:24 pm

johnnyrocket

lori, I did that and he didn't give it to me. You have to buy the expert thing

4:24 pm

LadyNatts

sorry, Lori... Merry Christmas to you too!

4:25 pm

Uniquity

Johnny, I had it for over half a year while not pro...but I suppose I had been here a long time before that.
Natts - If you e-mail and ask, he will send it - it combines the grid and the clue list in one browser for ease of use (plus bonus video)

4:25 pm

LoriP

johnny, i only became pro yesterday. I've used Lickety's Babble expert dor months. lickety is my hero for creating it.

4:25 pm

LoriP

* for even

4:26 pm

LoriP

LadyNatts, Babble Expert is awesome on a big grid. Totally rocks. I highly recommend e-mailing Lickety.

4:26 pm

herinfernallady

Johnny LIckety may be busy with family or he may be now distrubuting the expert thing to Pro players to help the creator of the site

4:26 pm

johnnyrocket

Well I though so too. Uni... I did as you suggested and emailed him. He said I had to do the upgrade thing. I was very upset. I love this game, but right here at christmas it is just too much.. :-(

4:26 pm

Uniquity

Lickety makes expert independantly of Dr. God and as it is such a fantastic too, I'm sure they both feel that if he gave it to everyone right away that Dr. God would not get pro subscribers.

4:27 pm

Uniquity

Also, as Herin pointed out, they are in the process of moving as well as holidays. Much as I wish it was so, his job is not to serve my needs :(

4:28 pm

Uniquity

Like I said Johnny, I was here a long time before I got expert...and I was likely a fluke :)

4:28 pm

johnnyrocket

I emailed dr. god where do I get lickety... on his babbles clues?

4:29 pm

herinfernallady

Johnny yes its Chrissy yes its hard $$$ but there is only a small fee attached for life time membership. Lickety created a program Bable expert which is an upgrade of Licketys list which is under friens of babble Licketys babble Clues

4:29 pm

LoriP

I'm ashamed to admit i have not i'net chatted with Lickety lately. Perhaps he has changed his policy. I know it's a busy time for Lickety and hsi family right now. They have lots of irons in the fire in their lives.

4:29 pm

Uniquity

Dr. God has nothing to do with Expert, if that is what you e-mailed him about...Lickety's address can be found on his clues page. He created expert.

4:29 pm

LadyNatts

you know, I did mention it in chat to lickety once... didn't see me, I guess.

4:30 pm

LoriP

LadyNatts Send an e-mail and wait LOL He's very busy right now.

4:31 pm

herinfernallady

Lickety created the list and programs for his beloved to play. He has kindly shared this with us.

4:31 pm

johnnyrocket

thanks everyone... Taking a little long to understand.. ha ha

4:32 pm

LadyNatts

that's sweet of him.

4:32 pm

herinfernallady

Johnny its kinda like giving out a phone number without that persons permision.

4:32 pm

Marc Freeman

Good afternoon, merry xmas to all who are celebrating. I need a clue for so6/24, please?

4:32 pm

LadyNatts

down to 11 now!

4:32 pm

Marc Freeman

Well lady I only have 11

4:35 pm

Marc Freeman

Got the so6

4:36 pm

Marc Freeman

Lady I hope you did not take the fact that I only have 11 the wrong way it was just to let you know that I am just starting, way to go hope you finish soon. Best

4:36 pm

LadyNatts

thanks marc, no offense taken

4:37 pm

herinfernallady

Also Johnny. Why pay for pro when you get the bells and whistles for free. Dr God has to run the servers create the puzzles and monitor emails for pests

4:37 pm

herinfernallady

Go Nats

4:37 pm

herinfernallady

Merry CHristmas Marc

4:38 pm

Marc Freeman

hi herin

4:38 pm

herinfernallady

I am tired. Dang cat smacked me in the head with a pair of tweezers that was on the window sill as she was hungry. Then proceeded to yowl out me to get my attention for food. I ignored her.

4:39 pm

LadyNatts

It figures that all the words I have left are S's... I suck at S words

4:39 pm

LadyNatts

not a good idea, herin

4:39 pm

LadyNatts

cats do not like to be ignored

4:40 pm

LadyNatts

I also tend to miss the words that end in S ... :(

4:40 pm

herinfernallady

Nats when they yowl out you and in effect demand food its not a habit i encourage specially the waking me up till i fed her. SHe had no food left as she gutsed it all

4:41 pm

LadyNatts

true... I've tried that with mine too, but they are persistant

4:42 pm

herinfernallady

And do they try and kill you by curling about your feet

4:42 pm

LadyNatts

If I figure that might happen, I leave them out of my room

4:43 pm

herinfernallady

True but sliding door equals kitty attack till it opens. One night she kept me awake so the next day when she was asleep i poked her. SHe looked at me like 'what the heck was that for'? For which i answered 'Not fun being woken up is it?"

4:48 pm

herinfernallady

Merry christmas i am off

4:48 pm

LadyNatts

LOL herin

Minveryork

Congratulations LoriP on going pro! Hope you enjoy pro status! Have you been using the tile stats to help you out? Honestly, I do not really use the tile stats at all.I think they aren't helpful. I rely more on Lickety's

4:59 pm

it's a MMORPG... a little like Risk... you set up your own village, tend it, try to keep from being overrun by invaders, it's better than I can explain it.

I think my husband would divorce me if I got addicted to yet another game. I am already addicted to 4 or 5 games

I am back, had to get a phone call. Need a clue for lo6/18, please?

5:52 pm

metaleather

wb Marc, sorry no help from me on that one, I need it too

5:55 pm

LoriP

It is the plural of the preceeding five, which is to lo** the race + stick letter

5:55 pm

hellorady

no shrooms? :\

5:55 pm

chic

Hi If you got Ho 6/21 switch out the first letter...

5:56 pm

metaleather

ty Lori

5:58 pm

MaggieDoodles

I don't have the ho6/21 - can I get a clue for that please?

5:58 pm

MaggieDoodles

well, actually I have the first one but not the 2nd one

5:58 pm

chic

watering instrument with a consonant

5:59 pm

MaggieDoodles

that's the first one, right chic?

5:59 pm

chic

second the first is the hayburner

6:00 pm

MaggieDoodles

I'm sorry I don't understand what you mean

6:00 pm

chic

the first ho 6/21 is the four legged creature

6:01 pm

MaggieDoodles

right

6:01 pm

MaggieDoodles

but if you were giving a clue for the 2nd one I'm sorry but I didn't understand you

6:01 pm

chic

add a consonant to the ho 4/5 watering rubber thingy

6:02 pm

MaggieDoodles

ooh - I just got it

6:02 pm

MaggieDoodles

ty

6:02 pm

chic

Yay!

6:02 pm

MaggieDoodles

:-)

6:02 pm

MaggieDoodles

I only need 13 more - I've never been this close

6:03 pm

metaleather

go Maggie!

6:03 pm

chic

I have 12 to go...

6:03 pm

MaggieDoodles

ty metaleather

6:04 pm

MaggieDoodles

I guess if you figure I only need an avg of 2 more for the next 6 hrs it doesn't seem so hard

6:05 pm

metaleather

true, but figure it as 3 for the next 4 hours and that will leave 2 whole hours for that elusive last word

6:06 pm

MaggieDoodles

also a good strategy!

6:06 pm

Marc Freeman

Hey Lori thanks for the clue on lo6 but it is not showing up. The lo4/4 is to not find something then there is a lo5 which is the pl then the lo6/18 which I still cannot find. Any other clue?

6:06 pm

Marc Freeman

Hey Lori thanks for the clue on lo6 but it is not showing up. The lo4/4 is to not find something then there is a lo5 which is the pl then the lo6/18 which I still cannot find. Any other clue?

Hiu squrel

6:07 pm

MaggieDoodles

hi squrell

6:07 pm

pennyfinn

How was your Christmas

6:07 pm

metaleather

Marc... try a different consonant for the 5, instead of what makes it plural

6:07 pm

squrell2

i have like 50 left, sheesh,,,lol

6:07 pm

metaleather

then, for the 6, pluralize that word

6:08 pm

metaleather

hi squrell

6:08 pm

pennyfinn

me too, I kind of j ust started

6:08 pm

MaggieDoodles

ty metaleather - I needed both of those

6:08 pm

metaleather

yvw MD

6:08 pm

Marc Freeman

How do you pluralize a plural?

6:09 pm

metaleather

you don't

6:09 pm

squrell2

ty met, i got that one

6:09 pm

metaleather

take the lo5 which is a plural

6:09 pm

metaleather

change the last consonant

6:09 pm

metaleather

then, make a plural out of the word you get when you change the original 5

6:10 pm

Marc Freeman

Thanks for staying with me metal, I got it

6:10 pm

metaleather

np, we all need a bit of help from time to time; glad to be of assistance

6:10 pm

MaggieDoodles

6:12 pm

metaleather

it came to me via monkey

6:12 pm

MaggieDoodles

monkey, you say?

6:12 pm

metaleather

yep, the monkeys provided that one

6:13 pm

MaggieDoodles

which monkeys are those?

6:13 pm

metaleather

ahhh

6:14 pm

metaleather

it relates to the old saw about an infinite number of monkeys at an infinite number of typewriters.... one of them will eventually, completely by accident, type out the works of Shakespeare

6:14 pm

Marc Freeman

The first fl6/33, please?

6:14 pm

MaggieDoodles

oh that old saw

6:14 pm

metaleather

here, it means you were just entering random combinations of letters and hit on something

6:15 pm

metaleather

6:15 pm

MaggieDoodles

right. Don't mind me, my brains are kind of scrambled right now

6:46 pm

Jellen

Jacula

He was, Jellen! I got all I put on my 'I've been a good girl, honest!' list - yes, I actually got around to making a list for my partner and kids this year - and my kids also bought me one of those Krups fancy drinks making machines.

6:48 pm

metaleather

tyvm, and Merry Christmas to all of you fellow Babblers

6:48 pm

Jacula

Marc - Well done and happy cleaning. Don't forget the rubber gloves!

Hello Metal. Not seen you here in ages.

6:55 pm

Hello and Merry Christmas everyone!

6:55 pm

Incidentally, I'm here to clue if anyone needs it.

6:56 pm

Jacula

Hello, doxy. Merry Christmas to you, too.

6:56 pm

Jellen

Hi, doxy! Merry Christmas!

6:56 pm

jimmel

hi all... need two to finish...es4 and se5,14

6:57 pm

Jacula

The grid's a gentle one, of sorts. It has one or two surprises, like the last word I found...

6:57 pm

Jacula

Hi mrae - es4 is plural of the letter it sounds like.

6:58 pm

Jacula

se5/14 is like the se4.6 below it but with a 'negative' word at the end.

6:58 pm

Jacula

Jellen - was Santa good to you?

6:58 pm

MaggieDoodles

ok, hubby's been helping me - we only need one more word!

6:59 pm

Jacula

Anyway, as I was saying, the grid provides a few surprises like the last word I found, so6/24, which actually means 'pseudopodia of amoebas' but looks like some kind of French suncream preparation.

7:00 pm

Jacula

And that word is? (Maggie?)

7:00 pm

MaggieDoodles

it's se5/10 - we're trying to get it without a clue for now, but we may have to give in and ask!

7:01 pm

jimmel

thanks jacula... got 'em both. All finished and time to get busy on other things.

7:01 pm

Jacula

Okay, Maggie.

7:01 pm

MaggieDoodles

7:03 pm

MaggieDoodles

7:04 pm

Jacula

One should always remember to look for plurals or verb forms when Babbling.

7:04 pm

KMS

go maggie!

7:04 pm

MaggieDoodles

ge 5/16 is something that a male horse might dread

7:04 pm

MaggieDoodles

ty KMS

7:05 pm

Jellen

Santa brought my a hand-knit scarf, leather gloves, and cat jewelry, so far. Oh, and a gift card to one of my favorite clothing stores.

7:05 pm

Jacula

ge6/24 complies with the always look for plurals rule.

7:11 pm

Jellen

7:11 pm

doxy1lover

7:11 pm

MaggieDoodles

thanks to everyone for your encouragement - I'll say good nite now and I probably will go pro. Right now I just need to rest my brain!

7:11 pm

Jellen

Bye, metal.

7:11 pm

Jacula

The one-time fee is less than you'd pay for some computer games you'll tire of. You'll never tire of Babble and Babble's for life.

7:12 pm

Jacula

Goodnight, Maggie and Hubby.

7:12 pm

MaggieDoodles

7:14 pm

squrell2

7:14 pm

Minveryork

so 6/24 is so plus stick letter plus sticky stuff you put in your hair squrell2.

7:22 pm

Jacula

Refresh (press F5) to see my new icon. Mr & Mrs Robin have been very evident in the garden today, as they are every Christmas Day. Seems like they're telling all the rest of the birds, 'It's our day today. We're on all the Christmas cards!'

7:24 pm

Jacula

Not that any robin (unless a human Robin or Robina) would get a look in at any Christmas cake from this house! We all love it.

7:24 pm

Minveryork

Jacula,I hope you did not feel like you had to change you icon because of my icon. I will refresh to look at yours.

7:24 pm

quilterbassoon

I'm new here (a Christmas present!!) ...is there a way to look up a words definition?? Thanks

7:25 pm

Jacula

Min - No, not at all! I had lots of pics saved up to use.

7:26 pm

Jacula

Hello quilter. Yes, when you find a word you will see a ? in a box to the left of it on your word list. If you click on that ? it will give you the definition if there is one.

7:26 pm

Minveryork

Hi quitterbassoon! How are you? Merry Christmas to you

7:26 pm

Jacula

Welcome to Babbelonia, btw.

7:26 pm

Jacula

Oh! quitter not quilter! *cleans specs*

7:26 pm

quilterbassoon

Merry Christmas...just trying to figure this out :)

7:27 pm

quilterbassoon

sometimes I'd like to be a "quitter"bassoon!! :)

7:28 pm

Jacula

quilter - the help section above is worth reading, as is Angelsong's page (below left, bottom of 3rd column of green addresses).

7:28 pm

Jacula

I said quilter again! Excuse me; it's my age, you know! LOL

7:29 pm

quilterbassoon

THanks..I've read the help section, but didn't realize what the bottom was for....

7:29 pm

Minveryork

Jacula, I refreshed and I can see your new icon, but when I click on your profile, I still see your old icon. I think that it is the browser I am using. It is Modzilla.

7:29 pm

adorablelila1988

I have one more t word that I can't find

7:29 pm

adorablelila1988

grrrrrrr

7:29 pm

Jacula

7:30 pm

Minveryork

Which t word do you need adorablelila1988. I can clue it.

7:30 pm

Jacula

Firefox, Min. If you click on the profile and then refresh when you're in it, the new one will appear.

7:30 pm

adorablelila1988

7:30 pm

adorablelila1988

I don't know how to say which words i have without giving them away

7:31 pm

Jacula

No, adorable but we don't usually use 3-letter clues in the log.

7:31 pm

adorablelila1988

oops sorry

7:31 pm

Minveryork

I do not have firefox. I am using my sister's computer. I do not have my laptop, so I am using my sister's computer

7:31 pm

Jacula

The word you seek, adorable, is to4/6 (warmth ratings for duvets/quilts.)

7:32 pm

Jacula

Or, it is also a slang word for clothes.

7:32 pm

Jacula

If it's Modzilla, Min, it's Firefox.

7:32 pm

pennyfinn

first 3 mo words anyone?

7:32 pm

Minveryork

When my sister leaves, I will be stuck with my mother's computer. Babble does work well at all on her computer.

Scrabbler

Where in VT?

7:38 pm

Minveryork

My parents live in a VERY small town: South Strafford,VT

7:38 pm

Jacula

og4 - a double curve (window type). Sounds like an expression of perhaps delight? og5 is the plural.

7:38 pm

Jacula

og4 - to look at in a lascivious fashion. og5 - verb form.

7:39 pm

Scrabbler

I visited Burlington in Oct 2006 and was impressed--I could move there and be happy with the outdoor life---kayaking, hiking, etc.

featherbee

it's perfect for me! i love racing on here, but except for stid, rarely get partners

7:43 pm

Jacula

Hmmm, I added Scramble to my facebook profile a couple of days ago. Haven't played yet. Got about 4 inactive games on Scrabulous on there and it seems it's only me playing Herd a Word on there lately.

7:44 pm

pam

you are all so funny! I like plodding along, and you all race away...

7:44 pm

featherbee

inactive because of you or your partner jac/

7:44 pm

Scrabbler

I sucked at Herd-A-Word--too much movement, too many changes, too hard on my eyes.

7:44 pm

featherbee

belated hi pam!

7:44 pm

pam

hi, feather!

7:44 pm

Jacula

I cut my pc word game teeth (so to speak) on Wordo etc., and so am used to wording at speed.

7:44 pm

pam

Scrabs--is your headache still gone?

7:45 pm

pam

(It is so weird, I see the wreath and wonder who that is, then I remember it is me)

7:45 pm

Scrabbler

I am not a racer here. Unless I am in a rush, but I won't race another Babbler, just the clock.

7:45 pm

Jacula

Scrabbs - you can set herd a word in 'line mode) where the letters stay still, rather than herd mode.

7:45 pm

Scrabbler

Yes, Pam, I have done well.

7:45 pm

featherbee

i must need to refresh then pam

Christmassy words here today... lo4/5, ro4/5 (as 'Have you any ro5 at the inn?', ro4.4 (as in a plant that has thorns).

Scrabbler

The dysfunction is so bad it is funny almost. Like, "I grew up with this family? How did I survive? Am I my mother's daughter?"

7:48 pm

Jacula

Scrabbs - you are not alone!

7:48 pm

pam

I know the feeling, scrabs...

7:48 pm

Jacula

I think we even had 'noel' in the Christmas Eve' grid?

7:49 pm

Scrabbler

My sister's house is a mess and she had no food...no meal prepared at all. It is embarrassing. And my nephews live there.

7:49 pm

Scrabbler

Yes, I think you are right, jacula.

7:49 pm

7:50 pm

Scrabbler

Good thing I brought food.

7:50 pm

Featherbee, do you know that Quotepuzzler on your site has not worked for a few days.

7:53 pm

pam

It will be weird to hear the alarm in the morning, scrabs...

7:54 pm

Jacula

So funny seeing you two talking like that. Once, my house was so tidy and correct... then came various disasters and I gave up on all but the neccesities re cleaning, tidying, even though it mixed my mind up even more. However, I got my groove back about 3 weeks ago, after a set back from people using my sitting room as a warehouse, and began to tidy and clean... I've nearly driven everyone in the family to distraction. They dare not leave anything out of place (the place I think it should be in) for more than 5 minutes. As for food, well, you might spot a cobweb or two still (high up, 'cos I'm only a short person) in my house, but you'll not go short of food. LOL

7:54 pm

featherbee

hmm. i noticed it a few days ago, but haven't been to my blog in forever.

7:56 pm

A very Merry Christmas to all of you {{warm greetings}}

7:58 pm

pam

Take a deep breath Scrabs. Tell yourself that she is NOT in control of your destiny, and throw something unbreakable...

7:59 pm

Scrabbler

My mother enables my sister's poor decision-making and then wants to tell me everything.

7:59 pm

featherbee

it's much more fun to throw breakable things. i did that once. i was pregnant with daniel, and they said he was going to iraq. i wigged out, heaved an old canister set against the side of our barn. very cathartic.

7:59 pm

featherbee

ended up he didn't go, thank goodness.

8:00 pm

Scrabbler

Breathe in peace, breathe out stress. "You cannot get water from an empty well." "You are responsible for your own behavior and no one else's."

8:00 pm

Glad he didn't go. And, glad it felt good!!!!

MLFAN17

9:07 pm

Natasha

yeah, she tried not to wake me until 7, which was our deal, but she climbed into bed with me and tossed and turned for three hours before she finally got up to wait for the rest of us to get up.

9:07 pm

Jacula

I mean do they just wee anyway, knowing it's not going to cause Mommy washing to do, or do they realise that thought it might be nice and warm and comfy to begin with, the mess soon gets cold and feels sore and uncomfortable.

9:07 pm

featherbee

he occasionally wakes up dry, but it's usually wet. he is fully daytime trained however, very rare accidents, like once every few months.

9:07 pm

pam

oy, nat!

9:08 pm

Natasha

I was happy to take a nap with her this afternoon, I can tell you that!

9:08 pm

featherbee

the only thing he wanted was a sailboat "with real sails"

9:21 pm

Jacula

We're booked up as of (Xmas Eve just passed) to be awa at Christmas next year. 20th-27th. 'No stress!' my Other Half said, after he told me he'd booked it. 'If you mean no Xmas presents to buy, you're mistaken,' I told him. ' You just have to do it all a week before!' His face fell. LOL

9:22 pm

stidmama

oh, Jac -- but he's right it will be so nice to not have to clean the whole house like you did this weekend, and bake and cook so much.

9:23 pm

littleowl
