daylight is plenty of time for the nitty grit of finishing...

rururocks

I think it is atomic in nature

12:24 am

brandyjack

it's a rare earth. usually found as a rare earth oxide bundled with 5-7 other elements. Samarskite-Y is one, quite pretty as a gemstone.

rururocks

1:13 am

moonwoof

oh, well if it's european, I guess, then it must be artistic.

1:13 am

metaleather

a character on a Sci-Fi series the name of which eludes me at the moment

1:13 am

rururocks

oh

1:13 am

metaleather

1:14 am

metaleather

1:27 am

moonwoof

dern it!

1:28 am

ursh

yay dart i am only just starting have been good and done h/work and laundry before i even logged in - notice the halo

1:28 am

moonwoof

I somehow think I'm just always going to have to aspire to dartness.

1:28 am

metaleather

yayyyy dart!

1:29 am

metaleather

***blinks, nearly blinded by the glow of ursh's halo

1:29 am

dart001

i see it ursh

1:30 am

moonwoof

I'm sorry I couldnt type there, for a second. I seem to be blind.

1:30 am

moonwoof

So, how was work, dart? the snow make it easier, or harder?

1:31 am

dart001

for my work it is actually harder when there is weather in chicago, detroit or in between those two

1:31 am

moonwoof

how's that work?

1:33 am

dart001

i work the airspace over wisconsin and northern michigan...so work tons of ohare stuff...lot of detroit, toronto, minneapolis and east-west overflights from coast to coast

1:34 am

moonwoof

hmm. So if chicago has weather there's more rerouting?

1:34 am

SaddySolar

urgh... stuck at 60

1:34 am

metaleather

sixty done or sixty to go Saddy?

1:35 am

SaddySolar

i wish... just 60 done

1:35 am

metaleather

I'm not much better off, just 65 done here

1:35 am

dart001

chicago is overbooked for flight arrivals even on a clear day....any fog, rain, snow cause massive delays and we have to hold the planes longer...in summer with t-storms..thet have to go around them...gets kinda messy sometimes

1:36 am

moonwoof

so the snow here didnt change much at work, basically... That's kind of nice to hear.

1:37 am

dart001

if they plow the runways...sometimes we hold them for a while

1:38 am

moonwoof

Makes sense, but still nice to know for sure =)

1:39 am

SaddySolar

any clues on the ar 8 an 9??? or is it too early for me to be begging for clues?

1:40 am

dart001

take the ar 6 and 7 in front of those 2 and put a 2 letter combo after the 4th letter for both

1:43 am

SaddySolar

LOL

1:43 am

SaddySolar

those are words lol

1:44 am

dart001

you got them i take it :)

1:44 am

moonwoof

the dictionary has a choice selection of amusing words. Just like those =)

1:45 am

moonwoof

One of my personal favorites is "zooglia"

1:45 am

SaddySolar

yeah thanks dart

1:45 am

SaddySolar

zooglia LOL

1:45 am

moonwoof

yup. zooglia.

1:45 am

dart001

that work moon?

1:46 am

moonwoof

or is it ea??

1:46 am

dart001

i know toea and zoea work

1:46 am

moonwoof

zooglea. Did zooglea work? Uhm. No. Not today.

1:46 am

dart001

my faves are teiid and aalii

1:47 am

rururocks

didn't find them myself yet dart still thinking

1:47 am

moonwoof

oh yes. If the letters are there, it's a real word. It's a jellylike mass of bacteria.

1:47 am

dart001

first one is like a salamander..second is a tropical plant

1:47 am

moonwoof

You like the "i's" then I take it lol

1:48 am

dart001

when you get a weird board...sometimes thats all you can find

1:48 am

dart001

teind works too

1:49 am

moonwoof

I read the dictionary a long time ago. But it lacked charachter development...

1:49 am

rururocks

found them in a dictionary.. weird..

1:49 am

dart001

the ar words...or the ones we just put up?

1:49 am

dart001

lol moon

1:51 am

moonwoof

well, needless to say, I haven't tried to read it, again. But maybe someday. =)

1:52 am

dart001

we'd find them when the cheaters came on the tangle site with their programs to find all words...you would see some real weird ones then

1:53 am

moonwoof

say what? why would anybody bother cheating at a word game?

1:54 am

dart001

usually kids trying to stir the pot and get everyone riled up...they come on here once in a while and try to get people going...best to just ignore and they get bored and go away.

1:55 am

dart001

they dont cheat here , but just call people names and use profane language

1:55 am

moonwoof

but still. That seems Well. That seems like one of the dumbest juvie pranks I've Ever heard of. And I invented one or two in my day.

1:57 am

dart001

they would take their ranking all the way down to zero points...then start using the program to score massive point totals...which hurts everyone elses rankings...people would understandably get mad...and they would just sit back and watch the fireworks

1:58 am

maniac_mitch

those were the days eh dart

1:58 am

dart001

mitch knows all about it lol....hiya mitch

1:59 am

maniac_mitch

heya

1:59 am

moonwoof

Hiya mitch. You're a tangle-refugee, too?

2:03 am

dart001

2:07 am

No way. I can be subtle =P

2:07 am

2:08 am

2:21 am

moonwoof

It was, actually. It was very pretty out, so I mostly encouraged myself to go down by saying "the view back on the skilift, etc"

2:21 am

metaleather

'night mitch

2:22 am

metaleather

Christmas was quiet Flask... just the cats and I here at the house (spousal equivalent was working)

2:22 am

dart001

2:22 am

metaleather

Where else? I went to Afton.

2:22 am

metaleather

*snatches back that I and substitutes a me

2:22 am

dart001

good snow or icy?

2:22 am

metaleather

*then panics and throws hands up debating on switching back

2:23 am

moonwoof

lol. Dont you hate when you accidentally type out loud, metal?

2:23 am

Flask1

My xmas was good thanks....just my son and myself [he's 28]...thats how we like it!

2:23 am

metaleather

yep

2:23 am

moonwoof

Actually, the snow was great, early. Later on it started to slick a little. But they were already starting to cut everything up by noon.

2:24 am

dart001

it was pretty light and fluffy this time

2:25 am

moonwoof

I had no idea they had a way to do that. In hindsight it makes sense, but was wierd to see arctic cats pulling threshers =P

2:25 am

Flask1

ok...ime to lose myself in this grid.......back soon!

2:26 am

moonwoof

Yeah, it was. There was one kid who must have slept overnight out there, cause he'd been at it for a bit by the time we got out there.. And he was impressive. Throwing like 20ft waves, stopping. He was pretty good.

2:26 am

moonwoof

Have fun flask!

2:28 am

2:28 am

2:29 am

2:29 am

moonwoof

Hiya M

2:29 am

joey

i think that the nu was the worst...... never heard of that...... thanks, moonwoof

2:30 am

moonwoof

I laughed really hard at the st one... that one so far, for me.

2:31 am

joey

thanks MVA.........

2:31 am

joey

the st 6 39 sounds like a fairy tale animal name

2:32 am

moonwoof

Exactly. I totally laughed. That's what i thought, and then it took it. I stared...

2:33 am

joey

yup....... me too....... guess I will have to find out what it really means!

2:33 am

moonwoof

I'm up to like 15 to look up =P

2:34 am

joey

holy crap....... the dictionary definition almost needs a dictionary....... i guess it comes from a flower?

2:35 am

moonwoof

Oh great. I'm gonna go look em up and still feel unsatified. That would Suck!

2:35 am

joey

well, it is certainly something that I would never use in any conversation........ lol

2:36 am

moonwoof

I dunno... You might be surprised =)

2:37 am

joey

not that surprised......... never happen. you must have some strange conversations......... no, wait, i can envision it. my perfume has undertones of st......

2:37 am

moonwoof

I know the fungus art one... and the nu8 but whats the ro6?

2:38 am

MVA

sounds fascinating, joey and moon ... anymore clues for st 6?

2:38 am

moonwoof

Umh, prolly not. I'm not a very girly girl But I Might call some one a " gelatinous pustule of odiferous st.. "=)

2:39 am

joey

MVA, no way to clue other than the definition - but it ends in a 6 point letter.......and has a 3 for a third letter

2:39 am

moonwoof

It's like the grecian river to hades with a room monitor in it.

2:40 am

joey

moonwoof, the ro 6 is a funky plural for a stage

2:40 am

MVA

got it ty!!

2:40 am

moonwoof

well then. I never woulda guessed that one.

2:40 am

JFB

Morning everyone

2:41 am

moonwoof

Morning J

2:41 am

moonwoof

ty, Joey. One less to look up, now =)

2:41 am

MVA

hi jfb, love theicon!

2:42 am

joey

yvw. ? what kind of a booth do you have at a ren fair? if I was reading right?

2:42 am

JFB

The star of the show hasn't seen it! She might not be so keen

2:42 am

MVA

probably not jfb!

2:42 am

moonwoof

Leather clothes and accessories. You from MN, too?

2:43 am

joey

no, from PA, but living in TX. very curious as I love Ren Faires.

2:43 am

moonwoof

Do you go to one in TX?

2:44 am

MVA

just going to get tea back in a mo

2:44 am

joey

sure do. U there?

2:44 am

moonwoof

Nope. Our sister company is at TRF, but not scarborough. Which one do you do?

2:45 am

moonwoof

Been thinking about it, but not doing it, yet, I should say.

2:45 am

joey

Scarborough. what is TRF? i don't know that one.

2:46 am

moonwoof

Texas ren fair. It's the Huge one. I believe outside of Houston (?) I'd have to look.

2:46 am

joey

ahhhhhhhhhhh. i don't get there enough to know that one. maybe this year I willl have to look for that.

2:47 am

moonwoof

If you like scarbie, I dont know if you'd like trf. It's so big they have a patron campground, cause you Can Not see it in a day.

2:47 am

joey

I am in Fort Worth

2:48 am

moonwoof

I have a great aunt in FW. That was one of the reason's I was thinking of trying scarbie... She's a very cool lady.

2:48 am

joey

always looking for new places to go. I will be there for some phillies baseball games.

2:48 am

joey

you have to....... and let me know.

2:49 am

moonwoof

trf runs during october and Nov. Is there still baseball, then (sorry, not really a sports girl)

2:49 am

moonwoof

The one thing I adore about texans is that you're not shy LOL

2:50 am

moonwoof

Dont they already have 4 or 5 leather booths there, tho?

2:50 am

joey

nope, wrong time. well, i have always been like this - yes, they do have leather booths, but hey, competition is good.

2:51 am

moonwoof

It is. But I (being also Not Shy) don't have a lot of competition on circuit =)

2:51 am

moonwoof

the Only competition I have (really) is a booth called Pendragon.

2:52 am

joey

i enjoy meeting people. i had a quiz tonight from a friend, things you don't know and one of my answers was that i can go almost anywhere in the USA and have lunch with someone that i have met.

2:52 am

joey

oh, i know that booth......... think that i have a friend who worked there part time in PA at the one at the winery

2:52 am

moonwoof

That's a good skill to have. Very handy.

2:53 am

moonwoof

Maybe. I dont know what fairs Pendragon does, anymore. I Do know that they only do one fair that we also do, right now. We own their old locations at 3 other fairs.

2:54 am

joey

where all do you go?

2:54 am

moonwoof

They do nice stuff, too. But it's different. So it's only "kinda" competition.

2:55 am

moonwoof

We do MN - NC - AZ - Boston and CO

2:55 am

joey

where in AZ?

2:55 am

moonwoof

At 2 months a pop tho, that fills up most of my year.

2:56 am

joey

do you know the Rogues? I believe that they play at some of those?

2:56 am

moonwoof

Apache junction, an eastern (far) suburb if Phoenix

2:56 am

joey

i know apache junction - when is that?

2:56 am

moonwoof

They play at most fairs. And yes, I know at least a couple of dozen rogues from different states.

2:56 am

moonwoof

Feb - Mar

2:57 am

joey

ahhhhhhh.. i have a friend in AZ that i plan on seeing in Feb......... he is in Tucson, maybe I can talk him into going. that would be way cool.

2:57 am

moonwoof

I'm familiar, very basically, with what the rogues "are", but I know I know at least that many.

2:58 am

joey

maybe not. they are a musical group from Houston.

2:58 am

moonwoof

That would be. bbnaz lives close by, too. We're planning on getting together. That would be very fun to add you.

2:58 am

joey

they play at Scarborough and a bunch of other places.

2:58 am

moonwoof

Oh. I had no idea they were also a band. Sorry.

2:58 am

MVA

well i've drunk half my tea but am slowing down, mayhave to eat to see if that spurs me on in babble, bbl, bye!

2:59 am

joey

i would love to meet more people.

2:59 am

joey

2:59 am

Reload this page for a new random joke.

#98
Once upon a time there were two little skunks named "In" and "Out." They lived in a hollow tree with their mother. Sometime In and Out played outside, but other times they played inside. One day In was out and Out was in. Mother skunk told Out to go out and bring In in. So Out went out and in a few minutes he came in with In.

"My my, Out," she said, "How did you find In so quickly?"

Out just smiled and said, "Instinct."

5:09 am

SaddySolar

Pierre, a brave French fighter pilot, takes his girlfriend Marie out for a picnic by the river. It's a beautiful day and love is in the air. Marie leans in and says â€œKiss me Pierreâ€

Pierre grabs a bottle of merlot out of his picnic basket and splashes it on Marieâ€™s lips. â€œWhat are you doing?â€ asks the startled Marie.

â€œI am Pierre, the fighter pilot. When I have red meat, I have red wine!â€ Marie smiles and they start kissing. Things heat up and Marie says â€œKiss me lower Pierreâ€

Our hero rips open her blouse and pours chardonnay on her breasts. â€œWhat are you doing now?â€ asks the bewildered Marie. He replies â€œI am Pierre, the fighter pilot. When I have white meat, I have white wine!â€

She giggles and they resume their passionate interlude. Now things really get steamy. â€œPierre kiss me much lowerâ€ says Marie.

Pierre rips off her skirt, grabs a bottle of cognac and pours it on her lap. Then he strikes a match and lights the cognac on fire! Marie shrieks and dives into the river. Standing waist deep in the water she screams â€œPIERRE WHAT THE F**K IS WRONG WTH YOU???â€

Our valiant hero stands up and says defiantly, â€œI am Pierre, the fighter pilot. When I go down I go down in flamesâ€¦â€

6:15 am

Scrabbler

Scroll down to below the tile stats and look for Lickety's Clues--a list of all words in the grid, with the first 2 letters, length of word, and point total of each word. It is VERY helpful and time-saving!

6:29 am

Scrabbler

I just have the cab one--not seeing others.

6:30 am

Scrabbler

TY, Miss Hazel!

6:30 am

Haz1558

The cab one can end in a different vowel.

6:30 am

carleekat

6:30 am

periwinkle

Hi there Haz

6:30 am

Haz1558

6:33 am

periwinkle

Haz, I refreshed and there she is

6:34 am

Haz1558

st6/29 - begin the piggy home, start a rodent finishing with that required x.

6:34 am

periwinkle

thanks Haz

6:35 am

Haz1558

su6/36 - sounds like what the Inland Revenue/IRS would like to collect.

montreal13

tx hazel - the su6 is just more income ***

6:35 am

periwinkle

thanks Luc and Haz

6:35 am

6:35 am

Haz1558

You're welcome.

6:36 am

Scrabbler

I did it--got st6!

6:36 am

Haz1558

I thought the grid was comfortably challenging

6:59 am

moonwoof

Ok. More broken.

6:59 am

sprite

*hugs woof*
Bend, but not broken, darling. Never broken.

6:59 am

montreal13

lol moon...we're all "broken" in some way(s)...

6:59 am

dcseain

my calendar, which needs some minor updating: http://tinyurl.com/2zmvpr

6:59 am

I liked that the grid made me go look up a couple of words.

7:00 am

sprite

I am broke, but not broken

7:00 am

moonwoof

I'm broek LOL

7:00 am

montreal13

7:00 am

sprite

LOL dc... your calender appears on my computer in dutch!

7:01 am

dcseain

yay for google!

7:01 am

dcseain

i think it'll still reflect my time zone, though

7:01 am

o-o

there likely is a smidge of dysfunctional in all of us

7:01 am

moonwoof

Actually, I am comparatively broken. But not my spirit. It's all just a matter of degree. And perspective. =P

7:01 am

dcseain

so very much so, babrab :D

7:02 am

sprite

I would say so, BabbleRabble.

7:02 am

montreal13

yes, just a smidge, a speck...

7:03 am

moonwoof

Oh, I definately agree, BR.

7:03 am

sprite

I need to believe so, or I would start feeling lonely... :)

7:03 am

o-o

okay, Lucien gets scintilla award ... congrats

7:04 am

Book Doctor Gwen

dysfunction? oh my yes. you get it from your entire family, especially descendants LOL

7:04 am

moonwoof

and in a group of like-ish minds, it's less like dysfunctional and more like "compatably screwed up" =)

7:04 am

sprite

lol Gwen!

7:04 am

moonwoof

Odd. My mom says that too.

7:04 am

montreal13

tytytytyty "taking a bow with a sweeping gesture with my fedora"

7:05 am

sprite

I like compatibly screwed up... will remember that phrase

7:05 am

dcseain

compatabiby screwed up is important among friends :)

7:05 am

Book Doctor Gwen

my family is a textbook case of dysfunction. you should see us trying to have x-mas dinner. scary!

7:06 am

moonwoof

I think so, too. =)

7:06 am

montreal13

so right DC...

7:06 am

moonwoof

At my house it's "you should see us try to avoid eating xmas dinner" lol

7:06 am

o-o

I don't let others define me ... if I want to be a flaming dysfunctional today, I just put out flares and orange cones

7:06 am

sprite

our family is so dysfunctional we don't share any parties or celebrations. But... out of the blue I got an email from my estranged sister this december... let's say it could be a start :)

7:07 am

dcseain

that's the way to live, babrab! :D

7:07 am

Book Doctor Gwen

sprite

hi Jac! Oh yes, so satisfactory :) *hug*

7:09 am

moonwoof

Morning Jac. Breaking stuff can be awfully fun... Enjoy =)

7:09 am

dcseain

fu4 reminds me of a kids in the hall skit, some fu4 traders were paddling along, singing Alouette, and whacking beavers w/their paddles. :)

7:09 am

dcseain

Morning, Jac.

7:10 am

dcseain

i have friend, we like to take loads to the wast transfer facility, becuase it makes such a sattisfying thud/shatter when you throw the stuff in :D

7:10 am

montreal13

hi Jac - sounds like fun and probably a gentle way to vent some steam as well...

7:10 am

Jacula

((Hugs)) Sprite. Yes, a pleasure denied us since the binmen started collecting stuff for recycling. However, they're not emptying the recycling boxes this week so we're off to the recycling bins at the supermarket.

7:10 am

sprite

lovely to be able to have that pleasure again then, Jac!

7:11 am

Jacula

I'd better go. BBL for my remaining 56 words. Have fun Babbling, Babblers. xx

that is, why does he feel hurt?

7:14 am

sprite

oh, were you honest with him? Dangerous, BabbleRabble.

7:15 am

o-o

He believes I have overstepped the bounds of decency with my criticism

7:15 am

sprite

My guess: you are right and he hates that.

7:15 am

montreal13

91 down - BBL - have a great day all and happy babbling "POOF"

montreal13

hasta pronto dc and sprite - "ACTUAL POOF"

7:17 am

sprite

since I cannot believe you have been rude or insulting, I take it he cannot counter your reasoning and he does not want to admit he is wrong. Enough grounds for hate for most people, grin.

7:18 am

moonwoof

Aw drat. I missed montie.

7:18 am

moonwoof

Dern pets.

7:18 am

sprite

is this the same guy you told us about earlier?

I admire the way you handled that, BabbleRabble. So he was taking it way too personal... good one.

7:20 am

moonwoof

I'm sure he'd rather I missed a little typing at him, than hearing that my dog ate my cat...

7:20 am

72 Temple Owl

only one way to desribe this grid: oy!

7:20 am

dcseain

nicely handled, babrab

7:23 am

72 Temple Owl

hi nono

7:25 am

moonwoof

You know the stuff you put on kids fingers to get them to quit chewing their nails?? Is there anything like that you can put on a cat?

7:25 am

dcseain

moon, to keep them from clawing things, or keep them from chewing?

7:25 am

moonwoof

{{{praying. please say there is}}}

7:25 am

periwinkle

Hi Owl

7:25 am

sprite

you can bathe the cat in it, woof, but she will not forgive you easily for that. She might prefer being eaten by the dog.

7:25 am

o-o

a mousetrap?

7:25 am

sprite

We call that stuff Bitex here

7:25 am

moonwoof

To keep my dog from chewing the cat.

7:26 am

dcseain

hot peper spray, but the cat won't like it.

7:26 am

sprite

lol dc

7:26 am

sprite

woof: education is the way. :D

7:26 am

72 Temple Owl

oooh lag is awful here : (

7:26 am

moonwoof

I'm >----< this close to pulling out lemon juice.

7:26 am

moonwoof

ty hunny. You're a goddess among women.

7:27 am

dcseain

yes, sprite, Bitex is the product here, too, at least the ones my friends used.

7:27 am

moonwoof

O. I bet the cat would make GREAT faces, tho.

7:27 am

dcseain

for the clawing thing, there are adhesive strips that ar tacky that have worked well for me getting the younger cat not to claw. The older one could care less.

7:27 am

sprite

*kicks TOwl's nearest server into good behaviour*

7:28 am

sprite

might be worth a picture shooting, woof!

7:28 am

moonwoof

That's not a problem, dc. That only took one bout of duct tape to teach the kitten.

7:28 am

moonwoof

That's a thought sprite.

7:28 am

dcseain

cool, moon :)

7:29 am

NonoNanette

moon if you find something that works, let me know.... i have a dominate cat who wants to chew on the other two all the time

7:29 am

dcseain

should i have the end of the buch de noel, or real food?

7:29 am

moonwoof

The dog, however, is a Whole other animal. So to speak.

7:29 am

dcseain

the others will learn to fight back, no, Nanette?

7:29 am

moonwoof

I certainly, will, Nono. However, that one's a little harder.

7:30 am

NonoNanette

its been two years dc and it is still going on

7:30 am

NonoNanette

one fights back slightly the other just lays down and hisses

7:30 am

dcseain

i still vote that they'll do alrgiht, Nanette, especially after all that time.

7:30 am

72 Temple Owl

oh dcsein what a silly question : /

7:31 am

moonwoof

The dog is trying to "protect" daddy. (who's sleeping.) And the kitten (being just that) is jumping on him when the covers move... You know the rest, I'm sure.

7:31 am

sprite

the buche while it is still fresh, silly

7:31 am

dcseain

well, buch de noel then :) brb

7:31 am

NonoNanette

i keep a spray bottle full of water handy ... all I need to do is pick it up and the dominate cat runs off

7:31 am

moonwoof

It can't hurt to try if it works, nono. I'll let you know in a week or two.

7:31 am

sprite

lol, love the image, woof!

7:32 am

moonwoof

It probably is funny. I can't quite see it. But I could record it for you lol

7:32 am

sprite

hehehe, it is funny from here. Not if I would live there!

7:33 am

moonwoof

The noise alone, is pretty funny sounding. The kitten is gawky. And still getting used to things like furniture.

7:34 am

dcseain

i was disappointed that the mushrooms on the buche were sugar, and not marzipan, as is appropriate.

7:34 am

periwinkle

I love marzipan!!

7:34 am

moonwoof

We rescued him in CO. He was definately alone for a while. But now he's teenaged, and FAT (ter). It's heartbreaking and hilarious to watch, all at once.

7:34 am

72 Temple Owl

sometimes they are meringue, no?

7:34 am

sprite

criminal, dc

7:35 am

periwinkle

never had buch de noel though

7:35 am

dcseain

my younger cat, water is effective, older one likes water.

7:35 am

dcseain

meringue would have been good, too, TOwl, yes they are.

7:35 am

dcseain

peri, you poor dear!

7:35 am

periwinkle

is it a cake or bread

7:36 am

72 Temple Owl

a cake. a glorious cake rolled up sothere is icing all over

7:36 am

dcseain

sheet cake, rolled around pastry creme, covered in chocolate butter cream and cocoa to look like a log :D

7:36 am

periwinkle

oh, sounds really good

7:37 am

periwinkle

I might have had some years ago

7:37 am

72 Temple Owl

aftera, cake is only a vehicle for getting qas much icing as possible ; )

7:37 am

moonwoof

It does sound good. Like a big HoHo. With Marzipan.

7:37 am

periwinkle

I like just plain marzipan candies

7:37 am

sprite

I agree, TOwl! I am not into creme at all. I'll have the cake and the icing :D :D

7:37 am

dcseain

hohos don't compare, though it is an apt description :)

7:37 am

72 Temple Owl

we had a choco one at work, with real ganache inside and out

7:38 am

dcseain

small layer of creme.

7:38 am

dcseain

oh, youm TOwl

7:38 am

72 Temple Owl

hmm, i think it is time to gently awaken my company...

7:39 am

72 Temple Owl

7:39 am

dcseain

i went to my favourite French bakery on Sunday, to get something to take to share at Solstice, and was pleasntly pleased to find my choice of chocolate, cappucino, or vanilla buches de noel :D

7:39 am

sprite

oh I can't believe I found the 9. By half mistyping, half monkeying around the verbal fighters.

7:39 am

moonwoof

I've got a cat you can borrow, TO...

10:09 am

hey, you kept upright, right, woof? Elegance and sure-footedness triumphed!

10:13 am

moonwoof

both dogs, and yes, probably is some sort of puppy nirvana... Oh, no. I meant the grace part. Anyone who's met me would laugh at "elegance + me" and I'll just say, it's a good thing the hall is narrow.

10:13 am

cybernan

good morning/afternoon, all :)

10:13 am

Marmar

Our dog Monty didn't actually get a "present" of any kind and believe me, he knew it. He moped around all day and at the end of the day, actually walked over to the tree, surveyed it carefully, turned his back to it and layed down...defeated. Next year, he'll get a present.

10:13 am

10:20 am

Those were helpful for the ar's, but how about the ag's :)

3:17 pm

JBV

ag 5 is a spanish word meaning bitter - ends in r + 2 vowels, ag 6 is plural

3:17 pm

JBV

same ending as at 5/10 - do you have that, matty

3:19 pm

mattygroves

There is no ag 5/10...?

3:20 pm

JBV

yes ag 5 is singular, ag 6 is plural

3:20 pm

ag4/7 ... malarial fever.

3:20 pm

JBV

ag 5/14

3:20 pm

mattygroves

Yah - got the 4/7

3:20 pm

3:20 pm

mattygroves

I have two of the 5/14s and the 4/6 and 4/7

3:20 pm

I was saying the ag 5/14 has the same ending as at 5/10

3:21 pm

NonnieLight

That's how I understood it and your clue helped me find the word too! ty jbv

3:21 pm

mo

pluralise one of the ag5/14.

3:22 pm

mattygroves

I don't have the one that is the plural. I have the first 5/14, then a 4/6, then its plural, and then I'm missing two, and finally I have the 4/7 that's a disease...

3:23 pm

JBV

ok, try this - do you have at 5/10 ? substitute a g for the t

3:23 pm

mo

you need another ag5/14 and 6/24.

ItalianGreyhound

Thanks, LoriP

4:09 pm

Scarlet

Ya talkin' to me, darth? *Snorth* *Rolls up sleeves* *Uses every cheap trick from Steven Segal movies*

4:10 pm

LoriP

scarlet!!!! ***Post Christmas tired hugs***

4:10 pm

Uniquity

Hey Red :)

4:10 pm

Scarlet

*Shrill whistle to LoriP* Gather your forces, Lor, it's gonna be a bumpy ride... LOL *Huggers and smooches to you!* Hey, Uni... More hugs and kisses!

4:10 pm

LoriP

***Where'd that kid come from, I thought she was busy....*** :-)

4:11 pm

Scarlet

*Very tired hugs back* That "Kid" is a breath of fresh air... don't go away, Uni... I need some sanity~

4:12 pm

Uniquity

Well, I've never been called that before! **beams** :D

4:12 pm

Uniquity

I can play the Blues Brothers and chat...it's called multitasking

4:12 pm

Scarlet

The next blessed wave of company is due in 10 minutes... let's all be totally brainless now... LOL

4:12 pm

LoriP

Lock the door, and turn off the lights......

4:13 pm

Scarlet

Yes.... *breathlessly awaiting next chapter**

4:13 pm

Scarlet

Are we reasonably alone here in chat right now, Lori?

4:13 pm

LoriP

We're just laying low, and I'm making pizzers. :)

4:14 pm

darthdude

I think I am gonna leave.....(fireworks) since there no chat.....peace and love all around

4:14 pm

LoriP

apparently Scarlet. Been pretty quiet as i roam in and out. Surprising, given how annoying this grid was....

4:14 pm

Uniquity

Aww, poor Scarlet, being loved by too many companies! **simple hugs**

4:14 pm

Scarlet

Yea! I saw Uni's e-mail address in her bio... Yea for darthdude... I tried, dude...

4:14 pm

Scarlet

Thank you so much, Uni! :-)

4:15 pm

LoriP

Congrats darth. We're boring today.

4:15 pm

LoriP

***suck - up*** :)

4:15 pm

Scarlet

*Twin suck-up*

4:16 pm

Uniquity

**is confused, but gives Scarlet a tinfoil hat to keep intruders out whilst putting on own**

4:16 pm

Uniquity

Hard day, red? We're here for you...

4:17 pm

Scarlet

Lori, I am asking you and Uni for a favor... I need some really honest feedback on a "situation" and you two are very level-headed... If I were to e-mail this to Uni, would you find a minute to respond? It won't be until later this evening, but I would appreciate it. YIPPEE... my OWN tinfoil hat... all my own...

4:17 pm

Uniquity

Absolutely...feel free to "use" us in any way necessary. That's what friends are for, darlin

4:18 pm

LoriP

*** shore *** LOL. Level headed? ***giggles immaturely....*** :-)

4:18 pm

Uniquity

**reminds mother to be the grown-up**

4:18 pm

LoriP

***Yells at Uni, to stop juggling lit fire batons in kitchen***

4:18 pm

Scarlet

Muchas gracias... it's a sticky wicket... YES... level-headed... the more insane women become, the more intelligence they draw on when the going gets "normal" LOL

4:19 pm

Uniquity

I think I should cross-stitch that on a pillow or something...I like that

4:19 pm

Scarlet

No, Lor, that's "Fire Bacon"...can't you get it straight??

4:19 pm

LoriP

Better than wicky stick-its!

4:19 pm

Scarlet

It could be BOTH!

4:20 pm

LoriP

Like my p's and q's, I always have a hard time miding the difference between c and t.....

4:21 pm

Uniquity

p's and q's are tricky...as are sticky wickets. I hope everything is okay for you Scarlet

4:21 pm

Haz1558

LoriP and Uniquity level-headed? And here I was, thinking that Scarlet was a good judge of character.

4:21 pm

Uniquity

Haz! **is overly, unnecessary ecstatic**

4:22 pm

Uniquity

My world is almost back to rights!

4:22 pm

Scarlet

Happy holidays to you, Haz... so good to see you before the New Year begins!

4:22 pm

LoriP

LOL Haz. There now Scarlet. See? We tried to warn you........ :-)

4:22 pm

Haz1558

I'm pleased that you're pleased.

4:22 pm

LoriP

Wicked good to see you! Happy 2 days afetr Christmas!

4:23 pm

Haz1558

Hello Scarlet, LoriP and Uniquity, hence forward to be known as the level-headed ones.

4:23 pm

Scarlet

You see, Haz is flashing that badge of hers, and she is frightfully logical... as always!

4:23 pm

LoriP

If we're level headed, be afraid. vewwwwy, vewwwy afwaid....

4:23 pm

Haz1558

Yes, nothing like using badges of office to make people do what they're told.

4:24 pm

Haz1558

Move along there, please. And pick up that paper.

4:24 pm

Scarlet

You may be a touch too late on this one, Haz... these women seem to be fully formed at this stage... LOL

4:24 pm

LoriP

If bribery and manipulation don't work, there's always authority! :)

4:24 pm

Haz1558

No loitering. Put her down, sir, you don't know where she's been.

4:24 pm

Scarlet

LOL, Lori... you are breathing proof of my prior words...

4:24 pm

Haz1558

A term in the home for the bewildered sorts EVERYONE out.

4:25 pm

Uniquity

Where's the head nurse? Does the head nurse have authority over Haz?

4:25 pm

Haz1558

NO-ONE has authority over the Police Chief. It's the law of England.

4:25 pm

Scarlet

No, Uni... Haz is the ultimate, last word!!

4:25 pm

LoriP

Methinks the ehad nurse would cower at Haz's supreme supremacy.

4:25 pm

Uniquity

*Loiters*

4:25 pm

Atalante

Haz! HAZ!!!!!

4:25 pm

Scarlet

And the Lesser Antilles...

4:26 pm

Haz1558

It's a benevolent dictatorship.

4:26 pm

Atalante

Do you think Imran will be assassinated next?

4:26 pm

Uniquity

This English law is starting to become suspect. I need to buy myself a copy of these laws...

4:26 pm

Scarlet

Atalante!! Happy Holidays!1

4:26 pm

Haz1558

Hello Atalante!

4:26 pm

LoriP

Atlante!!!!!!! ***hugs***

4:26 pm

Scarlet

Oh, my heart broke this morning...

4:26 pm

Haz1558

I hope not, Atalante - a shock, wasn't it?

4:26 pm

Uniquity

Ata, baby..coming down my chimney tonight...[/bad singing]

4:26 pm

Haz1558

The laws of England can be blamed for most things, including FMitch.

4:26 pm

LoriP

***I see that teaching her to question authority may have been a mistake...****

4:26 pm

Atalante

utterly. I'm still shocked, I think

4:27 pm

Haz1558

You like to think that people learn from history, but it seems not to be the case, sadly.

4:28 pm

LoriP

I heard it on the radion, coming home from work. I was surprised, but not overly so.

4:28 pm

Scarlet

For a strange moment this morning, I remembered the day that Anwar Sadat was assassinated...

4:28 pm

LoriP

radion is somehwat akin to a radio station, by the way ***slaps forehead***

4:29 pm

Atalante

no ..... *mope* I can't say I was surprised, just saddened. She must have known it would happen at some point, and to still go back with her life at risk like that is amazing

4:29 pm

Scarlet

She knew, Ata... and continued to stand tall for her people...

4:29 pm

LoriP

It took courage, no matter what one thought of the past events.

4:29 pm

Haz1558

Sadly I think it was only a matter of time. Those who wanted her dead weren't going to stop until they got their way. Something like 160 other people have been killed in the 2 attempts on her life.

4:30 pm

LoriP

exactly Haz. The cold hard reality. not if, but when.

4:30 pm

Scarlet

I just have such a gut-knot about Musharraf...I have never trusted him, and now I have nothing but comtempt for him, and his puppets...

4:30 pm

LoriP

***retreats to kicthen, and pizzer dough, hopes uni keeps me abreast of chat, since she is conveniently located in the kitchen***

4:31 pm

Scarlet

Enjoy those pizzas, Uni/Lori... I see the car pulling into the driveway... See you all later!

4:31 pm

Atalante

sorry, I've utterly depressed the chat now!

4:31 pm

Haz1558

You don't think Dubya will try to help?

4:31 pm

Uniquity

Enjoy your company Red! We'll be thinking of you

4:32 pm

Haz1558

Well, that's got rid of Scarlet and LoriP. We can talk about them behind their backs - Uni won't snitch.

4:32 pm

Atalante

if he helps, it'll go to hell in a handbasket like normal!

4:33 pm

Haz1558

You think he lacks the political sensitivity for the situation?

4:33 pm

chiley

HAHAHAHAHA....."Dubya help"............surely you jest

4:33 pm

Haz1558

Is that an oxymoron do you think?

4:33 pm

BettyAnne

st6/39 please someone

4:34 pm

Atalante

dubya? sen - sen - sen - what?

4:34 pm

chiley

absolutely...like jumbo shrimp

4:35 pm

Haz1558

st6/39 - a piggy place, followed by three uncooked letters, but move the last one one place further along in the alphabet. (an x opportunity)

4:35 pm

BettyAnne

Thanks Haz

4:35 pm

Haz1558

You're welcome.

4:36 pm

Uniquity

I think Dubya might just be too much of the second half to be involved in an oxymoron

4:37 pm

Haz1558

Ah well, soon he won't have to bother his head about all these things.

4:38 pm

Atalante

gold stars to Uni. thats fab. I love that *giggles madly*

4:40 pm

Uniquity

'Tis true...The countdown has become short. But then...what if it gets worse?

4:40 pm

Atalante

it can get worse?

4:41 pm

Haz1558

Somebody feel Uniquity's head. She's clearly feverish.

4:41 pm

Atalante

I suppose Arnie could change the legislature and become pres

4:41 pm

Haz1558

What sort of a mother leaves a ranting daughter so she can make pizzas?

4:41 pm

Uniquity

LOL....I have been by the fire all day, and I am mighty warm **checks temp**

4:42 pm

Uniquity

Well guys...I live just above the nutjobs! You're safely far away!

4:42 pm

Haz1558

I knew it. I can diagnose delirium from thousands of miles away. It's a gift.

4:43 pm

Uniquity

One of many Haz, one of many :)

4:43 pm

Haz1558

Ah well. The gift of sewing still hasn't fallen into my lap.

4:44 pm

Uniquity

Don't be selfish Haz...it's delirium diagnosis or sewing. Take your pick

4:45 pm

Haz1558

Delirium diagnosis kind of helps to save people from themselves. Sewing would only do that if I were a surgeon..... so maybe the fever thing is best.

4:46 pm

Atalante

talking of fever, did Spangle recover from her paw hurtiness?

4:47 pm

Haz1558

Yes indeed, she's firing on all four cylinders now. Antibiotics saved the day.

4:47 pm

Atalante

yay! thats great

4:48 pm

Haz1558

Hopefully that will keep her healthy for another while. It's hard to get a decent vet around here.

4:48 pm

Atalante

I bet. Awfully hard

4:48 pm

Haz1558

Money-grabbers.

4:49 pm

Atalante

definitely. overenthusiastic with prescribing euthanol

4:49 pm

Haz1558

I'm just laughing at my poor reading of the icons. I had Uniquity's as a blonde bombshell in a red feather boa and yours was a black headed sheep.

4:50 pm

Haz1558

Is a visit to the optician in order, do you think?

4:50 pm

Haz1558

But am I right in surmising that this is THE CAKE?

4:53 pm

Uniquity

Blonde bombshell....small child with a tinfoil hat...Whatever :)

4:53 pm

Haz1558

Is it the Junior Edition of 'Tinfoil hat making?'

4:55 pm

Uniquity

It's the best I could do as representation of our tinfoil hat...google gave me strange results such as tinfoil underwear :(

4:56 pm

Atalante

argh tell you in a sec!

4:56 pm

Haz1558

TInfoil underwear. You'd be kind of rustly.

4:57 pm

Uniquity

And uncomfortable, i can only hope

4:57 pm

Atalante

back. had to run for a wee. not that you needed to know that! yes, that is THE CAKE. think Jac would be proud?

4:58 pm

Uniquity

The cake looks delicious...I want one

4:58 pm

hurshy

friends!

4:58 pm

Haz1558

I think THE CAKE looks as if you spent a lot of time and effort on it. Did it taste scrumdiddlyumptious?

4:58 pm

Atalante

it tasted *gorgeous*. Really really gorgeous

4:59 pm

Haz1558

Hello hurshy!

4:59 pm

Atalante

hurshy!!!!!!!!1 yay!!!!

4:59 pm

Haz1558

You sound relieved, hurshy?

4:59 pm

Marc Freeman

Good afternoon, need a clue for st6/39, please?

5:00 pm

hurshy

i haven't seen you (haz and ata) in several days - it's just nice to see you again

5:00 pm

Haz1558

st6/39 - a pig home, plus the opposite of cooked, but move the last letter one along in the alphabet.

5:00 pm

Atalante

*hugs hurshy and marty who is bound to be lurking*

5:00 pm

Haz1558

I've been lying low, hurshy but decided to put my head above the parapet again.

5:01 pm

Marc Freeman

Thanks Haz great clue

5:01 pm

Haz1558

I'm glad it worked for you, Marc.

5:01 pm

hurshy

yes marty is real glad i'm home from work.

5:02 pm

Flask1

Hi everyone...and the seasons greetings to you all...

5:02 pm

Haz1558

Hello Flask - gearing up for Hogmanay?

5:03 pm

hurshy

poor pakistan... :(

5:03 pm

Flask1

Och my son is celebrating already...and I hate when he drinks to excess.....makes me ery nervous!

5:04 pm

Flask1

Yes Hurshy, its dreadful.....am just watching it now

5:04 pm

Haz1558

He'd notice if you watered down the drink?

5:04 pm

Flask1

Oh if only I could!

5:05 pm

Flask1

How was your xmas Haz?

5:05 pm

Anniebrook

hello, I'm back again

5:05 pm

Anniebrook

Terrible news from Pakistan

5:05 pm

Haz1558

It was busy, Flask, I had my sister staying for a couple of days and both daughters are home. I had a lazy day today, though.

5:05 pm

Flask1

Hi Annie....

5:06 pm

hurshy

will you look at that, even bush managed to talk about it without smirking.

5:06 pm

Haz1558

Hello Annie.

5:06 pm

Anniebrook

did he make sense, hurshy?

5:06 pm

Haz1558

We were wondering if he would offer to help the situation. Maybe he realises it's just a bit too hard for even him.

5:07 pm

hurshy

i only saw a short clip, but he did not... not make sense.

5:07 pm

Flask1

yes, but did you notice that they[murderers] must be punished........is this his next firing range?????

5:07 pm

hurshy

i dunno...

5:08 pm

Haz1558

It's just talk to fill up a sound bite.

5:08 pm

Atalante

oh, so cynical adn so true

5:09 pm

Flask1

yep!

5:09 pm

Marc Freeman

I have 2 of the 3 st6/18 the one that is a direct line and the ones that sounds Italian any clues for the other one?

5:09 pm

Uniquity

At least we're not fooling ourselves...just as he no longer seems to be fooling anybody

5:10 pm

Haz1558

st6/18 - one who declares?

5:10 pm

hurshy

here's a shocker: mitten is interested in my clam chowder

5:10 pm

Flask1

Very well said, Uniquity

5:11 pm

Marc Freeman

Sorry don't get the clue Haz

5:11 pm

Marc Freeman

Is this the first of the three?

5:11 pm

Haz1558

st6/18 - the first - add an alternative word to the preceding st4/4

5:13 pm

Flask1

Ok...am gonna bid you all goodnight...see you tomorrow!
Goodnight!

5:13 pm

Mom

good evening everyone. Haz, nice to see you again.

5:13 pm

hurshy

i'm puzzled by the bottom N

5:13 pm

Haz1558

Goodnight Flask - sleep well.

5:13 pm

Marc Freeman

Thanks got it finally

5:13 pm

Anniebrook

night, night, Flask

5:13 pm

Haz1558

It's a babblet, hurshy.

5:13 pm

Mom

good night Flask, pleasant dreams

5:13 pm

Haz1558

Hello Mom - how are you?

5:14 pm

Anniebrook

Hi Mom!

5:14 pm

Mom

I am doing just fine Haz, and you?

5:14 pm

Mom

{{Annie}} hello there

5:14 pm

Haz1558

I'm well,thanks.

5:15 pm

Mom

5:15 pm

Haz1558

I'm eating too much chocolate, though.

5:16 pm

hurshy

yay for haz

5:16 pm

Mom

lol, Haz. Isn't that part of the food pyramid?

5:16 pm

Minveryork

Hello to my fellow babblers! How's everone doing today?

5:16 pm

Anniebrook

hello minveryork!

5:16 pm

Mom

Hurshy, how did your visit go last week?

5:16 pm

Mom

Hi Min, good to see you.

5:16 pm

Haz1558

I suppose it is. When you're presented with chocolate it would be churlish to last it out for days, wouldn't it?

5:16 pm

lil*monkey

evening, babblers :)

5:17 pm

Minveryork

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

5:17 pm

bubba218

Anniebrook

5:17 pm

Haz1558

5:17 pm

Mom

yes Haz, it must be eaten immediately.

5:17 pm

Mom

{{LilMonkey}} hello

5:18 pm

Minveryork

I need to ask for clues for the last six words as I'm about to get booted off the computer. On my mom's computer

5:18 pm

Haz1558

Sell by dates and things. You can't be too careful, Mom.

5:18 pm

Mom

exactly my thinking, Haz

5:18 pm

bubba218

Thanks, Hazel, also means yellow in latin

5:19 pm

Haz1558

Another fact learned today.

hurshy

5:20 pm

bubba218

tr6,24 , my last word please

5:20 pm

Anniebrook

emergency room area in a hospital

5:20 pm

Mom

5:20 pm

Haz1558

5:21 pm

Mom

Bubba, I have it now, thanks to Annie and Haz

5:22 pm

Haz1558

ag5/14 - either a plural or ag plus female spanish river

5:22 pm

Minveryork

Actually, I need the third ag 5/14 word if anybody has it

5:23 pm

Mom

sorry Min, I don;t

5:23 pm

Haz1558

Then that's the ag plus Spanish river, female variety and plural for ag6/24

5:23 pm

doxy1lover

ag + hook letter + two vowels

5:23 pm

doxy1lover

Uniquity

Haz, Lori and I were wondering if you could give us a clue for the de6,24? :D

5:24 pm

Anniebrook

hi Tea!

5:24 pm

Haz1558

ar8 - to the first four contending letters add a slightly mixed up version of what the arsonist wants to achieve.

5:24 pm

hurshy

bush would probably tell people who disagree with him not to be ar8s

5:24 pm

Minveryork

Never mind!Just found the ag5/14 word! Thanks though

5:24 pm

doxy1lover

yw. Hi all by the way.

Minveryork

Does anyone have a clue for the te5/16 word yet please

5:28 pm

Haz1558

So Dubya DID help.

5:28 pm

stidmama

5:28 pm

evanonut

maybe we needs to do less stories

5:28 pm

hurshy

there's a first time for everything

5:28 pm

Haz1558

te5/16 - te plus the beginnings of a person appointed legally to look after children

5:29 pm

stidmama

fewer would be good... leave a bit for the next time.

5:29 pm

Haz1558

Or te plus the beginnings of the eighth month, backwards.

5:29 pm

evanonut

5:32 pm

stidmama

I almost have "neurosis" -- or is it neuroses? *grin* I found neurosy, but the dictionary didn't...

5:32 pm

stidmama

5:32 pm

snags

Hi, I was messing around, typing in words and came up with one that isn't in my dictionary, and I don't know what it means................ yikes

5:32 pm

5:46 pm

Haz1558

yt6 - y, help yourself to a double helping of the consonant, add a Spanish river, female variety. Then plural it.

5:46 pm

hurshy

it is from the gap - i got a gap gift card as a business present and had ordered it, and it arrived today. it's a brown cable-knit crew neck and the sleeves are nice and long and stuff, i like this whole "tall sweater" concept they have.

5:46 pm

evanonut

5:48 pm

hurshy

how did i have more fun? by getting a sweater?

5:48 pm

Haz1558

gu6 - reach a means of bringing in fish by means of a consonant

5:49 pm

Haz1558

Or, g, a funeral container, a little alien.

5:49 pm

LoriP

***sure do wish there was a de 6/24 in this grid***

5:49 pm

Mom

thanks Haz

5:49 pm

evanonut

5:49 pm

stidmama

LOL I liked the first clue, but the second one did it haz!

5:49 pm

Haz1558

Haz starts gibbering.

5:49 pm

Mom

Lori, you are Pro!!!

5:50 pm

stidmama

ah. NOW the snow is beginning to stick. brb after I call Tom and ask him to come home early...

5:50 pm

doxy1lover

thanks haz

5:50 pm

hurshy

ohhhh

5:50 pm

Haz1558

It's the sort of clue where you understand it AFTER you've found the word, stid!

5:50 pm

stidmama

congrats Lori! Uniquity told me your lovely
gifts!

5:50 pm

Marc Freeman

does the ar8 work off the ar7 before it?

5:51 pm

Mom

Stid, is Tom coming home early?

5:51 pm

LoriP

Thanks stid. Mom. Hugs to y'all! It rocks. I cried. I had a moment, as it were...

5:51 pm

stidmama

I don't think so... he's in the middle of fixing something.

5:51 pm

Mom

that is so sweet. I love your icon too.

5:51 pm

LoriP

sort of Marc, slight modification

5:51 pm

hurshy

oh, i just noticed i'm at the dreaded 14

5:51 pm

stidmama

oh well, I let him know, so it's up to him if he drives on wet pavement or otherwise.

5:52 pm

stidmama

go hurshy go!

5:52 pm

Mom

oh dear. I am sure he will make it home before too long

5:52 pm

LoriP

Did you have a nice Christmas Mom?

5:52 pm

stidmama

what is the second AG 5/14 please?

5:52 pm

Mom

Haz, was a sweet, thoughtful thing to do.

5:52 pm

Haz1558

Kind of, Marc. Take ar6, add a backwards Kipling poem in the right place so that you end up with a slightly rearranged version of what the arsonist wants to achieve (last four letters, that is)

5:52 pm

Mom

I did, Lori. How about you?

5:52 pm

LoriP

2nd ag 5 is a plural stid.

5:53 pm

stidmama

*fishBOP* thanks Lori!

5:53 pm

Haz1558

Mom, I knew that Lori had reservations about internet security, so I took the risk for her. Just call me a daredevil.

5:53 pm

LoriP

Was awesome Mom. Lots of laughs.

5:53 pm

Mom

Oh Haz, you do like living life on the edge. :)

5:54 pm

Mom

Glad to hear that Lori.

5:54 pm

Haz1558

Don't I?

5:54 pm

stidmama

Haz, you are SO reckless! *wishes I were more like Haz*

5:54 pm

LoriP

Not so much security, as my reluctance to take from "strangers". As time went on, a year later, nobody here is a stranger. Strange maybe....... :-) But not strangers.

5:54 pm

stidmama

second AU 5 please?

5:54 pm

Uniquity

I wish I were Haz.

5:54 pm

Marc Freeman

Thanks Lori got it and the 9 too

5:55 pm

stidmama

5:56 pm

LoriP

I do hope Haz pencilled in a cabana boy as well. It'd be most helpful......

5:56 pm

Haz1558

Not forgetting the dear ne5/10 babblet.

5:56 pm

Uniquity

Mmm...cabana boy

5:56 pm

stidmama

As and Es abolished and eliminated!

5:56 pm

hurshy

american darkness... hmmm...

5:56 pm

LoriP

Yea stid! Go! Go! Go!

5:57 pm

Haz1558

Scrub all that, hurshy. Giving wrong information on the n, it was talk of cabana boy wot done it.

5:57 pm

hurshy

ah.

5:57 pm

Haz1558

na plus backward Onassis

5:57 pm

hurshy

ty. that N has been bugging me all day.

5:57 pm

Haz1558

Or, na plus forwards Gershwin?

5:58 pm

hurshy

one of my favorite words is in the grid

5:58 pm

Mom

I think I will give this one up, at least for the time being. See everyone later. {{Hugs}} to all of you

5:58 pm

LoriP

6:01 pm

LoriP

***hoping tomorrow's grid has a de 6/24*** My monkeys were in hard shape today. I found this grid an odd one

6:01 pm

Haz1558

They've obviously not been trained in Scots law, Stid.

6:01 pm

rumplestiltskin

WOW! that is weird! They turned out beautifully. Recipients were happy!

6:01 pm

hurshy

ar8 = gw bush version of ar6

6:21 pm

herinfernallady

Is that nu 8 actually a word? Seriously people.

6:22 pm

tygerbryght

yes, herin, it is. it has an appropriately trivial meaning

6:22 pm

doxy1lover

apparently the dictionary thinks so

6:22 pm

Uniquity

The nu8 means trivial or unimportant

6:22 pm

herinfernallady

I think Stid and i were probably skiving off into the library hiding and playing a game or ten of scrable

6:22 pm

stidmama

first gr 4/6: what people say when you accomplish something: conGR**ulations

6:23 pm

tygerbryght

WRT the Us - a famous US politician said, I'm a un****, not a divider (several of the Us can be derived from that)

7:55 pm

LadyNatts

Jacula

Why Pink??

7:56 pm

harpjane

herinfernallady

Mine likes it. I fill the bath with a little bit of water to wash her paws as she wont let me do that bit then get a hair dressing tap nozel shower head thing she loves it. I guess kitty massage

9:38 pm

herinfernallady

Jac when she is in the mood she likes being vacuumed too

9:38 pm

Jacula

I used to be having a bath when the one before the barmy next-door-neighbours' cat would barge in, eithe through door or window. She'd pittypaw around the rim of the bath, looking down at me as though I was made to take such a risk, then she'd settle down on the shelf behind to put an occasional reassurring paw on my shoulder. I didn''t dare move or splash, or else she'd do the I'LL SAVE YOU! paw thing with the claws out.

9:39 pm

herinfernallady

Jac that is way too cute. Sans claws very cute

9:42 pm

Jacula

She was the sweetest cat, herin.

10:51 pm

renfield

herin - you might as well pitch those clothes / shoes etc - the smell will not leave them

10:51 pm

DR1965

He says he is on the third ( with a smirk)

10:51 pm

DR1965

10:51 pm

danf63

(then why is he asking steven for direction to the 8th)

10:51 pm

herinfernallady

Um last Thursday. Big rain storm. My friend lost (close your eyes if your a comic nerd or a collector) about 10 grand worth of stock

10:52 pm

skheiny

Did you lose much? But you could try Oxi-Clean...do you have that there Herin? That gets all kindsa crap out...if not I would love to send you a "tub"

10:52 pm

herinfernallady

Ren some stuff is ok as some of it was in the dead center of the bads.

10:52 pm

DR1965

fu= fu+spanish word for cat

10:52 pm

skheiny

Herin...Oxi-Clean...

10:53 pm

DR1965

Exactly Dan

10:53 pm

herinfernallady

Heiny i have no idea what i have lost its all in a bit of a pickle at the moment. Translate that to Herin is avoiding the clean up.

10:53 pm

DR1965

I am sworn to secrecy but you get the picture, Dan

10:53 pm

herinfernallady

Sk anything that i moldy is getting the toss. Anything that is clean but a little stinky gets a wash

10:53 pm

danf63

i'll let him battle Steven then...i'm still on the 3rd or 4th gym

10:54 pm

skheiny

:D bless your heart, now doubt...one of my occasional mantras is "ignorance is bliss"...tho I don't get to pull that one off too often

10:54 pm

DR1965

Sounds like a huge task Herin

10:55 pm

skheiny

Oxi takes out mold...if you have anything "dear" to you...there is a website...let me find it...

10:55 pm

DR1965

Did you get the fu clue Ches?

10:55 pm

skheiny

I did Dr, thanks!!

10:56 pm

renfield

oxi stuff is good herin - i used vinegar on my leather tennis shoes to get the "flood stink" out

10:56 pm

DR1965

Ok Glad to help SK

10:56 pm

danf63

hi ren! how are things?

10:56 pm

herinfernallady

YEp about 10 240 litre (about 60 gallon US) bags have to be dumped. Heiny i think what i have lost is mostly crap. That some of the stuff is over 10years old.

10:56 pm

renfield

hey dan - they be good - how be you?

danf63

11:00 pm

skheiny

Hmm...Herin...You are very fortunate to have a B.F. like that (smacking my gum in jealousy ;- )
