12:21 am

stidmama

jill dear, drop a crumb or two my way... the AD you found?

12:22 am

cybernan

at least you still play, melon -- haven't touched my violin (other than to get my granddaughter started) in 40 years or more.

12:22 am

melonheadjujube

oops - spoken like a violist {hides lest a shoe be thrown y way}

12:22 am

jillibus

12:22 am

VolleymomDee

thanks for the ad's, the cr and the rh... great finds!!

12:22 am

cybernan

I keep saying I'm going to get back at it, but I hate to cut my fingernails -- never had any when I was young!

12:22 am

jillibus

stid -- contains a 6 tile

12:23 am

stidmama

thanks jill! that was perfect!

12:23 am

pinkhatlil

phantom traitor

12:23 am

stidmama

I have it now... almost to halfway...

12:23 am

jillibus

*beams*

12:23 am

cybernan

did someone call an rh?

12:23 am

pinkhatlil

yes nan

12:24 am

jillibus

yep, nan -- not me tho

12:24 am

melonheadjujube

cybernan, I actually moved my bass into my bedroom - NOT AS WEIRD AS IT SOUNDS - so I can just pick it up & play it. When it was in a corner in the living room I had to move things around to get to it - amazing how a little barrier can keep one from playing. i do play 15 or 20 min a day. My 12 year old cellist nephew thinks i'm great - that's enough to keep me going. i have a hilarious video of him laying my bass on youtube.

12:24 am

VolleymomDee

rh 8 was called

12:25 am

stidmama

melon! that is my problem with the guitar and the piano... the latter makes an all-too-convenient resting place for sundry papers...

12:26 am

melonheadjujube

oh, yeah - piano as hat rach/bookshelf/jigsaw puzzle surface, etc. etc. . .

12:26 am

stidmama

not that I am all that good at either anyway... but perhaps I can think of something... the guitar hanger just gets it off the floor, but doesn't really make it easier to get to.

12:26 am

melonheadjujube

s the rh8 a word i should know?

12:26 am

stidmama

yeah. the etc. etc. is what gets me in trouble... LOL

12:27 am

egbokmom

12:27 am

melonheadjujube

12:27 am

pinkhatlil

12:28 am

cybernan

12:28 am

stidmama

12:28 am

jillibus

Why? That seems very LAME. Its not like scrabblers icon is an everyday thing. If anyone uses one of my icons that i have taken as a pic with my own camera i will be pissed

1:13 am

MVA

bye egbok

1:13 am

MVA

hi hugs and pink

1:14 am

jillibus

I think it would be polite of egbok to change because Scrabbler has used that icon for ages and it's identifying

1:14 am

jillibus

hi MVA

1:14 am

zephyr

jeez its only a pic

1:15 am

MVA

Hi Fran

1:17 am

FranMag

hi infernal!

1:17 am

moonwoof

I think egbok could have been asked nicely before jumping. They might not have even known it was scrabblers'.

1:17 am

herinfernallady

Um Sometimes pictures are actually taken by members cameras like mine ego stealing. As i said i am a crabby bitch today so just ignore the crazy lady

1:17 am

jillibus

egbok was told several times

1:17 am

moonwoof

You guys are usually so good about making people feel welcome. That was hard to watch.

1:18 am

moonwoof

Evening fran

1:18 am

moonwoof

TOLD. Not asked.

1:18 am

pinkhatlil

i think she felt away, so she logged off!

1:18 am

jillibus

told it was scrabbler's icon, not told to change

1:18 am

moonwoof

Could you blame them?

1:19 am

moonwoof

And it seems to me that they could have been asked, not told... That's all I'm saying.

1:19 am

FranMag

hey moon!

1:20 am

moonwoof

How's new year's in the Aloha State, fran?

1:20 am

FranMag

we had a busy weekend, but other than that it's fine.

1:20 am

Hugabugs

I suppose the me7 and me8 have been called?

1:20 am

cybernan

maybe we should have given at least one day for egbok to change the icon

1:21 am

pinkhatlil

has anyone seen greenbayladi recently, i haven't seen her in ages!

1:21 am

good morning all :) My first day of translating :)

Hiya Spritey! You've started then??

1:22 am

FranMag

thanks moon, i wish i knew some ukrainians.

1:22 am

jillibus

moon, egbok was not TOLD anything, but the fact that it was scrabbler's icon was mentioned. S/he was given every opportunity to realise it or mention it or change it but chose to ignore it.

1:22 am

sprite

every workday from now on, woof, and in the weekends too if possible. :)
Will start with the short story, then the rest.

1:23 am

moonwoof

That's Very cool to hear Sprite. I'm looking forward to it.

1:23 am

sprite

dutch to english, pink, my own book.

1:23 am

FranMag

i was going to use sprite's icon for "dutch things" day...i'm sure glad i didn't!!

1:24 am

jillibus

Nan, what a lovely legend in your profile!

1:24 am

o-o

so what? who decides who "own" and icon? where is it written that the same icon may not be used by more than one?

1:24 am

sprite

Fran, why not? You are totally allowed to, lol. What's with the icon stress all of a sudden?

1:24 am

moonwoof

Well, what would you do with the ukranians if you had them, Fran?

1:24 am

pinkhatlil

just checking, it might have seemed like a dumb question, but i thought it could have been another langauge ;)

1:24 am

cybernan

ty jill

1:25 am

FranMag

i don't know moon, celebrate christmas with them maybe. :-)

1:25 am

herinfernallady

Hi Sprite

1:25 am

FranMag

nan, that is a nice story and a cool icon!

1:25 am

sprite

I don't know any other language well enough to make a real good translation, and I am that critical b*tch that cannot go for anything less, lol.

1:26 am

FranMag

hi babrab!

1:26 am

moonwoof

Ahah. If you need another Xmas, fran, we could set an arbitrary Babble Xmas date, and celebrate, then...

1:26 am

sprite

I am with Rabble on this. WIll ask a 3rd time: what's with the icon stress?

1:26 am

pinkhatlil

you always make me smile sprite

1:26 am

herinfernallady

Babble my icon is from my camera therefore as the photos owner it is mine. Also ignorance pisses me off. I always look at others icons to make sure im not treading on peoples toes.

1:26 am

moonwoof

Evening BR. Just check the log, guys.

1:27 am

sprite

let's make every day Xmas, forget the humbug and go for peace

1:27 am

moonwoof

You can NOT possibly tell me, herin, that that was a picture scrabbler took. *I* have found it on the web...

1:27 am

FranMag

from what i gather sprite, a new babbler is using the same icon scrabbler uses. i personally don't think it's a big deal either.

1:27 am

o-o

and what you considerr ignorance is your opinion

1:28 am

pinkhatlil

please, no one argue over the icons, is it really worth it?

1:28 am

o-o

well, someone was driven from the room over it

1:28 am

sprite

seems simple to me. Either you own the picture, like lady here, or the icon is for common use. But I understand you have exhausted this discussion already... I will stop, LOL.

1:28 am

moonwoof

No, it's not useful to argue about Any of it. I'm just disappointed.

1:29 am

sprite

remember the day mrP came home? All limecats :)

1:29 am

MVA

hi babrab

1:30 am

sprite

which reminds me... after the crash I lost all my icons. Also my little lurker here. Better refind it on the internet! Before I go with a theme for the day and afterwards have to go without my lurker...

1:30 am

moonwoof

really? that would have been Uber confusing for me, but amusing, nonetheless

1:30 am

sprite

very amusing, and mrP loved it, woof. And yes, it was a little confusing, but since the names are next to them, it was ok.

1:30 am

cybernan

ah -- just spotted the volcano and got down to 50 all in one fell swoop --- good night all -- see you tomorrow :)

1:30 am

jillibus

the dolphin is a phantom

1:44 am

I promise, it's virus free. I've been offline for a while, but I've never seen anything get thru the hardware firewalls my friend makes.

1:45 am

moonwoof

Dern dolphin!

1:45 am

I could have sworn it took that one. =P

1:45 am

Hi Lady!

1:46 am

Marmar, can I ask you something? Are you planning on becoming pro or do you like being unpro?

1:47 am

sprite

why do I always forget which babblet is the buffalo...

1:47 am

sprite

is it the t4?

1:47 am

jillibus

an sprite

1:47 am

moonwoof

I am So glad you're the writter... I'm as graceful with words as I am with toupees

1:48 am

lollll woof.... SO not true. You are a marvel with toupees. Couldn't do it half as well if I tried.

1:48 am

moonwoof

Me, neither =P

1:48 am

jillibus

the buffalo is a phantom too

1:49 am

jilli, then the buffalo is as ghostlike as the dolphin today?

1:49 am

I consider that a yes ;)

1:49 am

herinfernallady

is there two JU words please

1:49 am

Marmar

Sprite, I want to, my husband offered it to me as a Christmas present but the day before he sort of insulted me (that I spend too much time here) so I refused....can you say "bite off your nose to spite your face"?....I can be so dumb sometimes.

1:49 am

jillibus

yes, sprite!

1:50 am

sprite

lol Marmar, no way, good for you. Presents should be something to enjoy, not things that have a bad aftertaste.

1:50 am

moonwoof

Should we spite her face?

1:50 am

metaleather

My mom sucks, and I need a new one. I can't pay well, but I take myself out for walks. Interested?

1:51 am

Marmar

Sprite, Instead I signed up for an online scripture study, never done anything like that before. But I will probably just sign up for Pro on my own soon.

1:52 am

sprite

I love your name, actually, woof.

1:52 am

I can see how that would be bad, woof. But now you are grown up, you can boast an original and strong name.

1:53 am

sprite

wb Fran! Did it work?

1:53 am

moonwoof

I am litter trained. And I clean stuff as often as any other fur kid. But *I* have a driver's licence and can be there in 3 months...

1:55 am

metaleather

1:56 am

moonwoof

Those Are real names, sprite. That's what Frank Zappa named his son and daughter respectively.

1:56 am

1:56 am

FranMag

1:56 am

moonwoof

I can build a bigger desk. It'll work out fine, Mom!

1:57 am

I've always wondered why they got stuck with those and the other boy got the relatively normal sounding Ahmet

1:57 am

sprite

kind of cruel, woof

1:57 am

herinfernallady

thanks.

1:57 am

herinfernallady

Sorry if i have been mean and rude over the last few days

1:57 am

moonwoof

I think even Frank Zappa can buckle under enuf peer pressure...

1:58 am

sprite

as a kid, I had neighbours with last name Olie (oil). Dad's first name was Peter. Right, Petrol, in dutch exactly so. Guy named his daughter Petra.

1:58 am

herinfernallady

Fran i used to work in the court system and i didn't see that ju 5

1:59 am

FranMag

well, it is twisty infernal, perfectly understandable.

1:59 am

the ju5 is the only one I have. I better get moving, or I will babble away my translating time!

1:59 am

sprite

moon, did you get my email?

1:59 am

moonwoof

Actually, Sprite, now that I'm all Growd Up, I realize it's all perspective. Little kids mock Everything. I could have been named Jenny or Liz or anything and they would have mocked me.

1:59 am

FranMag

lynxxx, if i wasn't looking for I words, it wouldn't have been found until later i'm sure. :-)

2:01 am

FranMag

and if you have a normal name like Frances, they decide that you look like Carol Burnett and call you that. :-)

2:01 am

sprite

if they cannot mock you over your name, they will mock you over your nose, mouth, hands, clothes, bike, shoes, mom, dad, friends, grades....

2:40 am

moonwoof

Want to take bets on how long it takes her to notice her new status?

2:40 am

lynxxx

2:40 am

2:40 am

FranMag

moonwoof

That's very true.

2:41 am

2:41 am

FranMag

FranMag

which pet was it, i know you guys have a few

2:42 am

moonwoof

That's harsh MrP. I empathize.

2:42 am

sprite

2:43 am

moonwoof

Ella was a rat, correct?

2:43 am

lynxxx

thats sad MRP...give her an extra cuddle from us all.

2:43 am

mrpresident

Her favourite pet that loved her so much, Ella was the rat, and Claire, the other rat, is crying

2:43 am

moonwoof

Learning that life is constantly changing is a good thing to learn, tho.

2:44 am

sprite

that is incredible. Didn't know they could. I am gonna send Maddison an e-card at your addy, mrP, okay?

2:45 am

moonwoof

Having a loved one die is a hard way to do it... but maybe they can help console one another.

2:45 am

mrpresident

my son cuddled her for half and hour, crying... he is sad for claire too. claire is trying to wake ella up, is kissing and cuddling up to her. It is so sad

2:45 am

mrpresident

thanks sprite, that woud be lovely!

2:46 am

FranMag

so maddison won't know until tomorrow? poor thing

2:46 am

moonwoof

It's good that she still has a big family to help her thru it, tho.

2:47 am

mrpresident

i wonder should I call her and tell her. Ella has been very sick for the last couple of days so she knew what might come

2:48 am

FranMag

i wouldn't mrp

2:49 am

sprite

I would not. Early enough when she gets home.

2:49 am

moonwoof

She cant change it where she's at. Unless you can go get her I dont think I would tell her, yet...

2:49 am

mrpresident

i took the rat to an emergeny vet at 11pm about a month ago... we noticed she was really unwell. she seemed to recover, but we knew it was a matter of time. poor ella, poor maddie

2:50 am

Flask1

Good morning all......any chance of a clue for ad6/7 combo please?

2:50 am

moonwoof

Morning Flask!

2:50 am

mrpresident

she wanted the rat to have an operation to save her, but I know that the operation and recovery would have been worse! we would have had a very depressed rat, in pain and not living a rat life. I explained that to maddie and she accepted that

2:51 am

FranMag

hi flask!

2:51 am

metaleather

hi Flask

2:51 am

FranMag

2:51 am

Well, if she accepted that, then perhaps she can accept that her friend isnt in pain, anymore.

2:52 am

lynxxx

2:54 am

FranMag

2:55 am

Flask1

2:55 am

FranMag

FranMag

3:01 am

metaleather

3:01 am

moonwoof

3:05 am

FranMag

3:06 am

coolits

frank can i have for a clue for 8's plz?

3:06 am

moonwoof

Just to bug you, Dr. G has updated the site with optical illusions to draw you off the course of Real Words.

3:07 am

FranMag

coolits, i only have two, di8 and me8

3:07 am

moonwoof

It's like those illusions that are really in black and white but fool your brain into seeing colors...

3:07 am

FranMag

di8 is like a pan****** photo (really wide), but start with di

3:07 am

coolits

ok thats good...

3:08 am

FranMag

me8 is one who tries to reach a resolution between two parties

3:09 am

coolits

very well then.. thnks that could be help

3:09 am

moonwoof

me8's are often diplomats

3:11 am

FranMag

moon, do you have the ju7? someone mentioned it earlier, but i haven't found it yet

3:13 am

moonwoof

yes... the group of peers you mentioned earier... take off the "y" and add ac**** (not alkaline)

3:14 am

FranMag

3:14 am

moonwoof

3:14 am

moonwoof

yw, of course.

3:14 am

coolits

any other clue for di8??

3:15 am

FranMag

a scene, often in miniature, reproduced in three dimensions by placing objects, figures, etc., in front of a painted background.

3:15 am

FranMag

that's the definition, the di8 is the adjective version of that word.

3:16 am

moonwoof

hmm. di8 = latin word for god + a male goat + "**k, that tastes awful"

3:16 am

coolits

tnx frank got it

3:16 am

Hi Traveller

3:33 am

FranMag

we went to see an open house today, it was absolutely gorgeous!

3:33 am

mrpresident

go look on google.com/maps

3:33 am

lynxxx

Are you in the market too Fran?

3:34 am

moonwoof

I will mention, tho, that IF you are a "duh" you have good taste. Welcome to the grid

3:34 am

traveller

hello lynxxx

3:34 am

FranMag

lynxxx, we like to dream that we can afford a house here. :-)

3:34 am

moonwoof

I have dreams about places with a dishwasher that works...

3:34 am

traveller

lol...i think this is my third or 4th... have finished 2

3:35 am

FranMag

that's great for a newbie traveller

3:35 am

lynxxx

wow! thats fantastic traveller, took me months!

3:35 am

traveller

well.... lickety and helpful clues.... great site

3:35 am

moonwoof

Then you're doing better than I did, when I started, traveller. It took me 2 weeks of banging my head on a dictionary before I figured out that people were even cluing.

3:36 am

traveller

many words i have never heard of.... now have a big list of words to look up some meanings

3:36 am

lynxxx

I don't think Lickety was going when I first started - Fran?

3:36 am

moonwoof

I dont think I finished a grid that whole time and I kept wondering what people meant when they kept saying "fireworks".

3:36 am

moonwoof

I like that part, actually. The dictionary is a great book, even if it lacks charachter development.

3:37 am

FranMag

when i started lickety was around, that was almost two years ago

3:38 am

moonwoof

Well, it was 2 months ago... and I was too thick to realize anyone might make something like Lickety did... I'm so dense sometimes it's eerie.

3:38 am

FranMag

i actually didn't play a grid until May 2006 even though i started my account in March

3:38 am

lynxxx

Traveller - you know you can click on the ? next to bthe words and get the meanings (most times)

3:38 am

moonwoof

omg. *I* didnt know that Lynxx LOL

3:38 am

traveller

the hard part of this site - is leaving it to do whatever needs to be done lol..... like now i need sleep...

3:39 am

moonwoof

See? I'm still an id5

3:39 am

FranMag

hah! traveller is hooked, time to go pro

3:39 am

moonwoof

I thought I was missing a graphic or something LOL

3:39 am

lynxxx

lol thanks id5! didn't have that

3:40 am

moonwoof

yw, I'll call it a fair trade. =)

3:40 am

traveller

crikey fran - just finding my way around the site - pro is a bit much lol

3:40 am

traveller

i must have an addictive personallity (1 L or 2??)

3:41 am

FranMag

after two weeks it gets harder traveller, you won't have the tile and word stats. :-)

3:41 am

moonwoof

Pro actually makes it a little easier, traveller, IMO.

3:41 am

moonwoof

one "L"

3:41 am

lynxxx

especially after the first 2 weeks!

3:41 am

traveller

ahhhh then i might need to reconsider

3:41 am

moonwoof

personality. Something I'm accused of, so I looked it up {{grin}}

3:42 am

moonwoof

Especially after your first couple of weeks and the stats go away.

3:42 am

FranMag

it's a lifetime membership, so it's a great deal traveller

3:42 am

traveller

ok will consider it

3:42 am

moonwoof

And 15 bucks is Nothing for a good game, nowadays.

3:42 am

FranMag

okay, getting late here, i have to get to some other puzzles and then to bed

3:42 am

lynxxx

and and and - you can then ask Lickety for BasbbleExpert - your life will be sooo much easier when we get the huge grids

3:43 am

traveller

our exchange rate might be more - but will look

3:43 am

moonwoof

Nite fran. Sleep sweet =)

3:43 am

traveller

huge grids

3:43 am

lynxxx

goodnite Fran

3:43 am

moonwoof

Yup. Huge. The largest since *I* started was 300 some... But there have been 500s

3:44 am

traveller

but... must sleep - nice to chat - night and good luck with the grid

3:44 am

lynxxx

300-400+ They used to take me hours and hours before BabbleExpert

3:44 am

carleekat

so is this a real grid or just another sicko twisted monster in disguide?

5:31 am

carleekat

disguise

5:32 am

Eva

sicko

5:32 am

carleekat

so I shouldn't even BOTHER starting..as I will be equally angry today as yesterday?

5:33 am

Eva

I don't know carlee.

5:33 am

Eva

I've been finding them all frustrating recently, but that might be due to my sun starved half/brain

5:35 am

Eva

there's lots of poison to take in the grid if things get too hard

5:36 am

carleekat

lovely... that at least is comforting

5:39 am

carleekat

holy cow..going up to 62 here later today...

5:39 am

Eva

i know-there was a record here overnight of 42!

5:40 am

Eva

it will probably make everything incredibly slippery, but it's nice to have the snow sliding off the roof even if the avalanches make us jump every time

5:41 am

carleekat

it was 52 here yesterday.... most of our snow all gone

5:41 am

carleekat

cripes I just looked it was 52 over night too

5:41 am

Eva

funny that it's warmer up there than in Vermont

5:42 am

carleekat

the great lakes....

5:42 am

carleekat

it makes us more like west coast ntil a long chill time occurs to close up the lakes

5:42 am

Eva

those bring a warming environment?

5:43 am

carleekat

actually we NEED a long deep freeze to get the water levels coming back up

5:43 am

Eva

Lake Champlain doesn't do the same thing. Burlington has a wicked cold wind.

5:44 am

Eva

How does a deep freeze raise water levels?

5:44 am

carleekat

water cools slower then air...and is the cold air mass that brings in winter....with the ground bordered by a "warm mass" yes...keep sus warmer...lake champlain is... a teeny tiny lake compared tot he great lakes

5:44 am

carleekat

keeps water from being evaporated .....puts a lid on evaporation

5:45 am

carleekat

once the lake frozen..look out...FREEZING COLD weather

5:46 am

Eva

ah. I never knew that, but it makes a lot of sense. Maybe that's one reason that droughts are so rare here. It has been a relief to have a real winter this year, as opposed to the semi-tropical one we had last time. The ski areas have been celebrating and the entire economy depends on snow. I hope we aren't going into another weird one now and that this is only a temporary January thaw.

5:47 am

carleekat

i'm all for spring happening now..but that just me be selfish..i HATE the cold

5:48 am

carleekat

i want to live somewhere wherewinter means 70f

5:48 am

Eva

okay....so why Ontario?

5:48 am

carleekat

my family..my husband...we grew up here.....our parents grew up here...and so on

5:49 am

Eva

We have been thinking lately about being someplace else for part of the winter. Seems the natural trend for those over 50 around here. Everyone seems to be moving to Ashville, NC(-:

5:49 am

carleekat

my father lives 1/2 time up here...1/2 in braydenton ( sp?) florida

5:50 am

Eva

the warmth in Florida just doesn't make up for everything else about Florida for me.

5:51 am

Eva

well, I've got 66 left and going nowhere fast.

5:51 am

carleekat

he's on gulf side norht of tampa...where there is a bazillion golf courses

5:51 am

chiley

Ok...I'll jump in here. I was born & raised in Asheville and have lived in Florida since 1980. I go back to visit my son, but cannot wait to leave Asheville and head back home.

5:52 am

carleekat

i want to move overseas actually

5:52 am

Eva

I'm really interested in knowing more about why chiley?Trying to learn more about the Ashville area.

5:53 am

carleekat

scarlet lives in asheville eva

5:53 am

Eva

where do you dream of being carlee?

5:53 am

carleekat

cairo

5:54 am

chiley

Well, for starters, I'm used to having cultural opportunities here in Fl. We enjoy the Broadway series of plays, philharmonic concerts, etc. It's just a different lifestyle.

5:54 am

emtiandeca

an 7 please

5:54 am

wow! I've spent quite a bit of time in Israel but only been in Egypt once, and that was the Sinai. Why Cairo?

5:55 am

5:55 am

herinfernallady

Hi

5:55 am

carleekat

i don't know really... a feeling... I am friends with a few egyptians..i love their sense of humour...but its just a gut feeling

5:55 am

Eva

Interesting chiley, because one hears so much about asheville being a cultural mecca

5:56 am

Eva

hi hrein

5:56 am

emtiandeca

Thanks - great clue

5:56 am

carleekat

i need to go there...maybe not live...but I definitely need to vosit

5:56 am

Eva

yw

5:57 am

Eva

The middle east is about as different from New England as anything could be...in terms of nature but also expressive patterns, attitudes towards privacy, etc. A wonderful way to stretch oneseelf.

5:58 am

chiley

There are a lot of artists who live there. It's become quite well known as an art colony. But I don't think it can compare with the West Palm/Ft. Lauderdale area for performing arts.

5:58 am

carleekat

i am very good friends with many of the muslim women here in my city... I know some of the language...

5:59 am

Eva

sounds like its time for a visit...and if you have friends with family there it will make it so much richer.

6:00 am

Eva

however, its certainly no 70 degrees all the time there. How are you with grueling dry heat?

6:01 am

carleekat

no no no..i said I want winter of 70f

6:01 am

carleekat

I LOVE 100F

6:01 am

Eva

sounds like you definitely need to get going!

hi, people who pray, could you please pray for me? my sleep troubles have been increasing and i'm going to ask my doctor to increase my dose - which is only necessary because i'd told her the wrong dose to begin with - less than i was on - can you just pray that she'll do that for me and i can get some good nights' sleep again?

6:50 am

hydra

Anyone got that first re5/18?

6:50 am

jean1953

Hi Hurshy, I will certainly remember you in my prayers lets hope you can get some sleep soon:)

6:50 am

Angelsong

bfsog...you can see some of my work. I did the online resource guide for Babble.

6:51 am

hydra

Oh, poor hurshy. I do sympathise. I suffered insomnia for three years and had to resort to getting visitors to Spain to buy me over the counter sleeping tabs cos the doc wouldn't give me any. Now I've bought a white noise machine and am sleeping much better as it shushes you to sleep and calms the brain.

6:51 am

periwinkle

never thought of white noise machine

6:52 am

jbp

i have one of those, and LOVE it

6:52 am

hurshy

i've tried that but it doesn't work that well for me. i use earplugs, plus prescription meds. but in the last couple months it's gotten worse - maybe bc of my accident? and i had one of my bad nightmares last night, which i haven't had in ages.

6:53 am

jean1953

Oh Hurshy that is so grim for you, I get the occasional night of not sleeping too good and I know how that feels you poor thing

6:53 am

hydra

It cost me Â£79 but is worth every penny. They are made in the States and mine is called a Sound Screen Sleep Mate dual speed.

6:54 am

i just read a study that showed that not getting good sleep can increase your risk of diabetes as much as putting on 30 pounds would!

di 8 ----di --beginning of public speech and what they speak into (first 3 letters) this a clue given earlier but I forgot who gave it

7:26 am

Jacula

di8 = surname of designer Christian + French friend + consonant that sounds visual or watery.

7:26 am

Anniebrook

Hi Jacula!

7:26 am

KatieMcG

Jacula

7:31 am

Scrabbler

((Babble buddies))

7:32 am

KatieMcG

It hurts so much at the moment I can't wait to get them taken out!!

7:32 am

Scrabbler

Is your appt today?

7:32 am

pinkhatlil

Scrabbler, your icon was a hot topic this morning!

7:32 am

Scrabbler

Why, oh, why?

7:33 am

bbnaz

hello everyone

7:33 am

Scrabbler

I changed it once, to match the daily theme, and I was told to bring back the green bunny.

7:33 am

Scrabbler

Hi Betsy!

7:33 am

EspritdJean

what happened to yuo Katiew?

7:33 am

Anniebrook

hello, bbnaz

7:33 am

Anniebrook

good morning Babblers

7:34 am

7:34 am

Anniebrook

and Nono, hi

7:34 am

Scrabbler

Hi Nanette

7:34 am

bbnaz

arizona

7:34 am

KatieMcG

It's tomorrow scrabbler, Esprit, nothing serious I just need two teeth taken out which will stop the toothache :-)

7:34 am

johnnyrocket

what a lovelye state

7:34 am

bbnaz

Nono, I have really enjoyed your videos of late!

7:34 am

Jacula

Hi, nono & bb and anyone else I've missed.

7:34 am

Scrabbler

Hi johnny

7:34 am

EspritdJean

ah, feel better!

7:34 am

bbnaz

Jac! Nice to see you.

7:35 am

NonoNanette

ty bb

7:35 am

pinkhatlil

because another player had your icon, and some thought they should have changed it, and others thought you do not own the icon, so anyone can use it. To cut a long story short, the babbler left the chat room! check log between 12:30 and 1:30am

7:35 am

Scrabbler

I watched the Beatrix Potter movie, "Miss Potter", on Saturday and loved it. I have posters of her drawings in Callie's bedroom.

7:35 am

johnnyrocket

hey scrabb

7:36 am

Scrabbler

True, I do not own it at all, and sometimes Babblers do have the same icon. But there is only one of me.

7:36 am

Jacula

Scrabbs - I watched that film just before Christmas. It's really nice. I watched an adaptation of Ballet Shoes last night (I'd recorded it over the holiday) and loved it.

7:37 am

Anniebrook

Scrabbler, the next movie on my netflix list is Amazing Grace...look forward to seeing it

7:38 am

Scrabbler

I still think of it, and William Wilberforce. You must watch the music video in the Special Features section too.

7:38 am

Anniebrook

Will do, scrabbs

7:39 am

Angelsong

we have already had 1179 words in Babble this year.

7:39 am

KatieMcG

Been back to check the chat, it seemed a bit harsh, although if i'd have done it I would have changed it when I realised.

7:40 am

KatieMcG

I had to change my icon away from Fuggy as someone was phobic about rodents, didn't mind as we are one big happy family in chat.

7:40 am

Scrabbler

It would not have bothered me, Kitt.

7:40 am

Scrabbler

Angel, I am glad they were not all in one grid.

7:41 am

Anniebrook

When I first came into Babbleland I had FM's icon. It was brought to my attention and I changed it..It was not a problem at all

7:41 am

Anniebrook

Scrabbler is the green bunny and that's it!!!

7:41 am

KatieMcG

It's funny how some people get upset and things that don't bother others :-)

7:41 am

pinkhatlil

babblers having the same icon doesn't bother me, however, it was a personal pic taken with my camera as someone pointed out, i'd be very annoyed.

7:42 am

Uniquity

Icons are apparently tremendously more important than I had ever thought before...just read back to that. Whew!

7:43 am

Anniebrook

I am going to read the brouhaha...be back soon

7:43 am

pinkhatlil

*if it was* typo!

7:43 am

Jacula

I'll read back later as doing so freezes my browser. I guess it's like turning up at a function (the icon thing) and finding someone wearing the same dress as you.

7:43 am

pinkhatlil

lol jacula, you hit the nail on the head!

7:43 am

Uniquity

Quick question - Lately when I refresh babble I get a "word list couldn't be loaded" error message. Has anyone else had this?

7:44 am

Uniquity

My junior high prom (ugh) 4 people had the same dress as me! We were stylish...

7:45 am

KatieMcG

one of my friend when I was younger had a tatoo done, turned up at the pub and there was a girl with the same one on the same place on her shoulder. Put me off tatoos for life!!

7:46 am

Jacula

Okay, I have 20 words left to find. Got work to do. BBL. Happy Babbling!

7:46 am

pinkhatlil

bye jac!

7:47 am

pinkhatlil

i haven't had that problem uni, with the word list

7:47 am

Uniquity

Neither had I until the other day...maybe it's just a surprise glitch

7:50 am

pinkhatlil

must do lunch bbs

7:50 am

KatieMcG

I don't know if it is just me but i'm really finding it hard today. I can see the list being used very early :-)

7:50 am

EvaNadine

mornin babblers!

7:50 am

Uniquity

I used the list at forty! I feel so weak...but I am not making progress even with list.

7:50 am

Uniquity

Morning Eva!

7:51 am

EvaNadine

how is everyonet oday?

7:51 am

Uniquity

Bad at babble, good in life ;) Yourself?

7:51 am

Scrabbler

I reviewed the chat and I don't think egbokmom left because of the icon discussion.

7:51 am

EvaNadine

sleepy, but good. :)

7:53 am

Scrabbler

I just noticed the J--it was hiding on me all this time.

7:54 am

Anniebrook

I just read the chat about the green bunny...i agree with scrabbler..I think egbok just left not because of the icon. We need a copyright lawyer here. LOL

7:54 am

Uniquity

Or maybe we need to wait and see if the original icon holder would be upset (I read it more carefuly and it reminds me of another mega icon fight of recent weeks)

7:55 am

EvaNadine

rut roh -- what did i miss this morning?

7:55 am

Scrabbler

Most of our snow has melted during this January thaw. I was smart to cross-country ski on Friday. Now we have to wait for more snow.

7:55 am

mari

fireworks !!

7:55 am

KatieMcG

Uni, you make me feel so much better I'm on 39 and going for the list :-) Honestly I didn't know icons were such a sore subject for some people. I always use my own photos so at least I'm not going to upset anyone

7:55 am

Uniquity

Scooby or Astro, Eva? :)

7:55 am

Uniquity

YAY mari!

7:56 am

KatieMcG

Go Mari :-) and you are in the grid if not a word :-)

7:56 am

Scrabbler

Yahooo Mari! And your name is in the grid--I noted it earlier.

7:56 am

EvaNadine

whichever works, uni. ;)

7:56 am

pinkhatlil

congrats mari!

7:56 am

KatieMcG

Now you have an afternoon with children to look forward to ;-)

7:57 am

bbnaz

this grid is trench warfare for me

7:57 am

bbnaz

HUZZAH ,aro

7:57 am

bbnaz

*mari

7:57 am

Scrabbler

I am struggling too, Betsy--it is a humbling experience.

7:57 am

bbnaz

even my fingers can't find the keys

7:58 am

Uniquity

Alright...class ahoy! Be back later, take care all

7:58 am

KatieMcG

bb, join the club!

7:58 am

pinkhatlil

be uni!!

7:58 am

KatieMcG

bye Uni :-)

7:58 am

Scrabbler

Take good notes, Uni.

7:58 am

Anniebrook

later, Uni!

7:59 am

Scrabbler

Phantom = adroit

7:59 am

Scrabbler

And "adorer"...damn, I can't find the AD words. *hint=help?*

7:59 am

pinkhatlil

and cypriot scrabbs

8:00 am

Scrabbler

Haha, I would not have seen cypriot--too sophisticated for me.

8:00 am

pinkhatlil

ad + guilty or innocent vote givers

8:02 am

Scrabbler

Ha, I typed in adplea....I am a moron.

8:02 am

KatieMcG

thanks pink:-)

8:02 am

pinkhatlil

lol

8:02 am

Anniebrook

thanks, pink!

8:02 am

KatieMcG

lol scrabbler :-)

8:03 am

Scrabbler

Is the 7 related?

8:03 am

pinkhatlil

ad6 is very similar, change ending

8:03 am

bbnaz

well there is one of the 8s

8:03 am

pinkhatlil

yes scrabbler

8:04 am

Scrabbler

And I am a moron again--I found the ad6 first.

8:04 am

Scrabbler

Those are new words for me.

8:05 am

Scrabbler

I am going down the list and will go in reverse alphabetical order, just for fun. These little things give me such joy in life, haha/

8:06 am

KatieMcG

I'm wedded to my routine, when I try and go from bottom to top I get too confused ;-)

8:06 am

pinkhatlil

i seem to do the grid faster when going backwards, strange!

8:06 am

EvaNadine

a few pictures of my brand new baby niece up on my flickr account (and in my babble profile!)if anyone wants to take a peek.
:)

8:07 am

pinkhatlil

is that baby's mum in pic

8:08 am

Scrabbler

What is her name and when was she born?

8:08 am

KatieMcG

She's lovely eva :-)

8:09 am

EvaNadine

thats me in the picture...she was born friday morning, as of saturday, still to be named...dunno if theyve chosen a name yet, but they will have to soon, as theyre supposed to be going home today!

8:10 am

Scrabbler

I have seen babies leave the newborn nursery with no name...some parents want more time to ponder names. Until the birth certificate has a name, they are "baby boy" or "baby girl"

8:11 am

EvaNadine

from what i understand, i think here, they have to have a name for the birth cert + that has to be filled out before they leave...

8:12 am

Scrabbler

She has a very cute little face!

8:12 am

EvaNadine

and lots of dark hair!

8:13 am

bbnaz

man that di8 made me dizzy typing it.......

8:13 am

Aloyisius

Congratulations, Aunt Eva! Happy Monday to all

8:13 am

pinkhatlil

gosh, i didn't name my daughter until she was well over a week old, and i was allowed to leave hospital

8:13 am

Scrabbler

Oh, Betsy, make me get dizzy, please. Hi Aloy

8:13 am

EvaNadine

knowing my brother, he may have just told her the hospital said that to hurry her along. ;)

8:14 am

KatieMcG

Lol eva ;-)

8:16 am

Angelsong

fireworks for me.

8:16 am

Scrabbler

ty5 anyone?

8:16 am

Scrabbler

And the Y's and the ur7's and.....

8:16 am

Scrabbler

Yahooo Angel!

8:16 am

NonoNanette

woohooo congrats Angel!

8:17 am

EspritdJean

8:17 am

Aloyisius

8:17 am

EspritdJean

8:17 am

EspritdJean

ty***al

8:17 am

pinkhatlil

8:17 am

KatieMcG

8:18 am

Scrabbler

8:18 am

Scrabbler

british spelling threw me off

8:18 am

pinkhatlil

wtg angel

8:18 am

amelu0218

ty6, a rather evil ruler?

8:18 am

pinkhatlil

thanks amelu

8:19 am

amelu0218

welcome!

8:19 am

Scrabbler

Haha, I once called my boss, Richard Head, a ty6, and he still wants me to apologize, rather than ask why I chose that word.

8:19 am

Scrabbler

Hi amelue and ty

8:19 am

amelu0218

*waves*

8:20 am

carleekat

this grid SUCKS! worse then yesterday's

8:20 am

Scrabbler

**waving back**

8:20 am

pinkhatlil

LOL scrabbler, i guess he'll have to hold his breathe for one of those!

8:20 am

pinkhatlil

hey, carlee

8:20 am

EspritdJean

LOL he's lucky you only called him a ty**** instead of his shortened first name and last name

8:20 am

carleekat

hi pink ~~~~~

8:20 am

Scrabbler

I never finished yesterday, carlee, and hello, as I was not home all day and when I returned late there was no one to clue for me

8:20 am

periwinkle

hi all, back from my walk

8:21 am

carleekat

i gave up

8:21 am

periwinkle

yes, this grid is worse than yesterday's

8:21 am

carleekat

{{{PERI}}}

8:21 am

NonoNanette

hi Carlee

8:21 am

Scrabbler

Hi Periwinkle!

8:21 am

carleekat

and I think I will already throw in towel for today

8:22 am

Aloyisius

aww, carlee.. don't leave us to struggle

8:22 am

EspritdJean

ok somebody HAS to appreciate my joke about scrabbler's boss

8:22 am

montreal13

"Have tea, will babble" - how's everyone ?

8:22 am

pinkhatlil

wb peri

8:22 am

Aloyisius

head buried in grid, Esprit.. missed your joke.. hi peri

8:22 am

carleekat

I didn't say leave.....i'm just not entering words

8:22 am

LadyNatts

oh too bad Scrabbler... I was on for quite a while... not a soul was talking or asking for clues, so I left. I had finished the grid yesterday morning.

8:22 am

pinkhatlil

didnt understand it

8:23 am

NonoNanette

wb Peri and hi luc

8:23 am

amelu0218

LOL! There was a guy in our office we used to call Richard Cranium... of course, he's the one who started it...

8:23 am

EspritdJean

do you know the nickname for "richard" pinkie?

8:23 am

pinkhatlil

no

8:23 am

Scrabbler

I got it, Jean. TY. He brought it up at a mtg recently and said, "I am still waiting for an apology" and I just stared at him.

8:23 am

Aloyisius

LOL... got your joke, carlee..

8:23 am

carleekat

hi aloy

8:24 am

pinkhatlil

im guessing its d**k maybe EJ?

8:24 am

Scrabbler

He hasn't bothered to wonder or ask, "Why would you think I am a ty6?"

8:24 am

EspritdJean

yes add that to his last name of Head

8:24 am

Aloyisius

doofus, methinks

8:25 am

Scrabbler

Any help with the Y words?

8:25 am

bbnaz

well that storm that has pounded California arrived yesterday and this morning it is cold, windy and raining. quite nice actually

8:25 am

pinkhatlil

he must really grate on you, i'd be really offended if someone called me one

8:25 am

Aloyisius

i have one that rhymes with the tweetie animal

8:26 am

Aloyisius

yi4 that is

8:26 am

Scrabbler

TY, Aloy--now i do recall seeing that here before. I need to store it into my Babble harddrive

8:26 am

bbnaz

YI4 sounds like where the grass grows only with the I vowel instead

8:26 am

Scrabbler

He grates on everyone in his path, Lil.

8:27 am

Aloyisius

yw, Scrabbler. there are a bunch of babblets in this grid

8:27 am

bbnaz

and the other sounds like the scots word for man

8:27 am

Scrabbler

Ty for yi4

8:27 am

Scrabbler

Oh, I got it on my first try, Betsy--TY

8:27 am

periwinkle

can't see the ad6 and ad7

8:27 am

bbnaz

nevermind then, putting my head back down into the grid

8:28 am

Scrabbler

And with 110 remaining, I must get ready to take on the day. Bye everyone.

8:28 am

bbnaz

Peri - when you go to trial you are entitled to a **** of your peers

8:28 am

Aloyisius

bye, Scrabbler.. have a marvy Monday!

8:28 am

bbnaz

a member of that **** is called a *****

8:29 am

Scrabbler

Marvy, I like that.

8:29 am

bbnaz

so ad + singular member of that group

8:29 am

bbnaz

for the ad6 change the ending by leaving off final consonant and changing the vowel to the second vowel

8:30 am

Aloyisius

second cuppa time, brb

8:30 am

periwinkle

8:44 am

pinkhatlil

normally a grid of this size i would have completed, but this is slow and painful

8:44 am

Aloyisius

di8 is all about the box you made in grade school that has a little scene in it

8:45 am

Jayde287

Guess I won't finish this one today

8:45 am

grammaterri1

I have a cr8

8:45 am

Hello again. Haz - see my icon & bio.

9:05 am

Aloyisius

ty, all. Lucien is a great name

9:05 am

Haz1558

Hello Jacula - looking now.

9:05 am

Haz1558

I love it! I yelled with laughter and Spangle is now barking in confusion.

9:05 am

Aloyisius

LOL, good one, Jacula!

9:06 am

Jacula

I thought you'd like it, Haz. (Sorry Spangle!)

9:06 am

Haz1558

She's settled down again - cat patrol at the front door.

9:07 am

Tallyho, and off I go... happy Babbling to all. See you next time.. (-:

bye aloy HAGD!!!

9:07 am

Haz1558

Tinkety-tonk, Aloy. (Can you detect the PG Wodehouse influence?)

9:07 am

Jacula

My cat keeps using the bathroom window as a cat flap, which would be fine if he'd close it after him. *sighs* I don't really want the window wide open in this weather.

9:07 am

flosey

bye Aloy, see you at flip

9:08 am

Jacula

'Bye, Aloy.

9:08 am

Haz1558

Cats don't seem to respond to training, do they? I saw an article in the paper the other day about a Newfoundland which did just about everything bar paint the lady's toenails.

9:09 am

Jacula

Cats only respond to what it suits them to respond to.

9:10 am

Jacula

Did you read the article about the Christmas disaster involving a whippet in today's Daily Mail, Haz? V. funny.

9:10 am

Haz1558

So it seems.

9:11 am

Haz1558

Yes, I did. Poor man. He must have a great sense of humour if he's prepared to laugh about it.

9:12 am

Jacula

Please clue the di8 - driving me crazy

9:13 am

Haz1558

I'm sure Aloy would appreciate it, she was so happy to find plural forms of the injury site recently.

9:13 am

Jacula

The dog diary extract was good, too. I think it was in 'Weekend' magazine (D/Mail again).

9:13 am

pinkhatlil

fireworks, i said it yesterday, and i'll say it again, i am glad to see the back of this grid!!

9:14 am

Haz1558

Yes, I read it as well. I'm a sucker for dog stories.

9:14 am

Jacula

I'm saving both stories to show to my Mum.

9:14 am

moonwoof

the di8 = a pana***** camera angle but starts with di instead

9:14 am

NonoNanette

woohooo congrats pink!

9:14 am

hurshy

i know i know - di8 - related to a 3-D model like kids make for school projects

9:14 am

Jacula

Well done, pink.

9:14 am

Haz1558

di8 - di plus the ending on J M barry's Peter that makes it an all round view.

9:14 am

moonwoof

Morning everybody

9:15 am

pinkhatlil

hi moon, have you calmed down now lol

9:15 am

Haz1558

Or follow the 'New Look' creator with a vowel and the beginning of 'David's' creator.

9:15 am

NonoNanette

morning moon

9:15 am

Haz1558

moon wasn't the one who needed calming....

9:15 am

Jacula

Hello moon.

9:16 am

Haz1558

hurshy - you are here at a peculiar time?

9:16 am

Jacula

Calming? What's been going on? What did I miss?

9:16 am

moonwoof

Yes. And I'm sorry if it upset you, Pink. But I Am still very disappointed.

9:16 am

I am having trouble finding the at 7 and the at5 behind it...any clues

9:16 am

NonoNanette

Buttonman

Hi Nono

9:17 am

Haz1558

Good morning Buttonman and moonwoof.

9:17 am

hurshy

yes haz, i haven't really got anything to do at work at the moment

9:17 am

ursh

ty all for the di8 took me a while but i got it

9:17 am

Jacula

Hi, button.

9:17 am

hurshy

another reason why it's too bad i'll never hear from the place i sent my resume to this weekend.

9:17 am

moonwoof

I only have an at7 and no 5 behind it.

9:17 am

Haz1558

If you got yourself over here, you could clean my dog. Look at Jacula's profile to see what I mean.

9:17 am

Buttonman

morning Haz, how are you?

9:17 am

Buttonman

Hi Jacula

9:17 am

moonwoof

good job ursh!

9:18 am

Haz1558

I'm well, Button. I have a clean house, the bills are paid, the grid is here.....

9:18 am

Haz1558

Well done on the di8 ursh.

9:18 am

Buttonman

Moon, according to the list there is a at 5/10 behind it....can you clue me for the at 7 please

9:18 am

moonwoof

But she has a Very Dirty Dog.

9:19 am

Buttonman

Could not ask for a better day Haz

9:19 am

Haz1558

at6 is what you're looking for.

9:19 am

moonwoof

I'm sorry button. I read at6, too...

9:19 am

Buttonman

I am sorry.....I am talking about the an 7 and the five behind it...sorry

9:20 am

moonwoof

At7 = against + what we breath

9:20 am

Haz1558

In the interests of accuracy, Spangle isn't THAT dirty.

9:20 am

Haz1558

That's an7 though.

9:20 am

moonwoof

breathe (GACK!)

9:20 am

Buttonman

thanks Haz, got it...what about the 5?

9:20 am

moonwoof

and the aN7 ... it is So a monday morning.

9:21 am

Jacula

-P's home. I'd better look busy!;-o

9:21 am

Haz1558

You mean you haven't got the vacuum in the study with you?

9:21 am

moonwoof

I probably also meant that spangle is a Very Cute Dog.

I'm also a little glad it's monday for most everyone else too lol

9:24 am

pinkhatlil

moon, i just wish all that didn't happen this am. I have never seen a real argument on here before

9:24 am

moonwoof

I'm glad to see you got your new icon working =)

9:24 am

periwinkle

did I miss an argument?

9:24 am

hurshy

who had a argument? i haven't got time to load whole chat log, can someone sum up?

9:24 am

periwinkle

if so I am glad

9:25 am

moonwoof

Me, too, Pink. That's why I was so upset. I've Never seen anybody treat anyone else like that. Especially another Pro member... {{sigh}}

9:25 am

periwinkle

moon can you see a bigger picture of me when you click on my icon

9:25 am

moonwoof

I did It was lovely Peri.

9:25 am

Haz1558

I didn't see the beginning of the argument. Basically a new babbler had an icon normally used by Scrabbler. She had been told about it, but didn't change. Another member made quite a fuss about it.

9:26 am

periwinkle

when I click on my icon I just get another small picture

9:26 am

periwinkle

:-)

9:26 am

moonwoof

Well, but you have the original, and I think that would be better =D

9:27 am

good luck all in grid *hugs to all*

has Scarlet been on yet this am, have not seen her in a few days

9:27 am

flosey

I haven't seen Scarlet today

9:28 am

moonwoof

I feel really bad. I get really defensive about what I percieve as people picking on others. I empathize too much and I didnt deal well.

9:29 am

hurshy

hmm, that makes me feel better about my argument with mikey.

9:29 am

flosey

was that old argument going on again this morning? it dragged on a bit last night

9:29 am

moonwoof

That's one of the things I've adored about being here. Everyone that I've seen here has always been so supportive from what I've seen. And the newbie felt so bad she left the chat and the grid.

9:30 am

Haz1558

moon - I'll probably get shot down in flames (again) but it's not the first time that player has upset others.

9:30 am

moonwoof

No, not again, Flosey. Honest.

9:30 am

Haz1558

You argued with Mikey, hurshy? How could you?

9:30 am

moonwoof

I've Never seen them before, Haz. Is it something you really think they would do on purpose?

9:31 am

periwinkle

well, off to take a shower, and do some chores around here, bbl

9:31 am

bbnaz

slogging away here with 68 to find. Actually having read the icon brouhaha, it didn't seem that the party left due to the icon issue. sounded basically tired that's all.

9:31 am

moonwoof

Cya Peri!

9:31 am

bbnaz

mikey from berlin?

9:31 am

Haz1558

All I'm going to say is that I no longer chat or have the chat log open at certain times.

9:31 am

moonwoof

Then the timing was pretty convienient.

9:31 am

FMitch

Afternoon,
My two penneth worth - it wasn't that big of a deal and the new person will either return or not. It doesn't help to keep mentioning it as it perpetuates the um event.

9:32 am

bbnaz

Haz, I enjoy your chat......

9:32 am

flosey

Haz, best to get away and let those who 'must' get it out

9:32 am

Haz1558

Hello FMitch!

9:33 am

flosey

right mitch but do hope she comes back

9:33 am

FMitch

moon - there have been and probably will be worse happenings in the log, we just have to live with them.
Hello Haz, loved Jacs funny pic earlier.

9:33 am

Haz1558

Thank you bb.

9:33 am

bbnaz

You know, it is only a game and chat. It is not like folks are writing references here. If my nose got in a knot everytime someone said something contrary to me, well what a waste of babble time (and future help of clues!)

9:34 am

Haz1558

Wasn't it great? I'll not show it to Spangle in case it gives her id4 s.

9:34 am

NonoNanette

and FIREWORKS!

9:34 am

kathw

anyway......can anyone help with the yi4 I'm sure its easy but it is driving me nuts

9:34 am

flosey

Haz, does Spangle like the water?

9:34 am

Haz1558

It's great that you can rise above it, bb.

9:35 am

Haz1558

Congratulations Nono!

9:35 am

flosey

WTG nono, good for you

9:35 am

FMitch

Congrats Nono

9:35 am

moonwoof

Hmm. Well, I'm not likely to ever know all the details or ever understand everyone here. I was just so Very surprised. I love it here. And so far have only seen generally positive supportive people...

9:35 am

moonwoof

Congrats Nono!

9:35 am

NonoNanette

kath it is like the place you grow grass but using the i instead

9:35 am

Haz1558

Spangle would LOVE the water if I allowed her to indulge in that sort of bathing.

9:36 am

Haz1558

Stick around, moon. We've had years of it.

9:36 am

flosey

lol, we have a pond but our lab won't swim but if she's chasing something, she'll run right through the creek

9:36 am

moonwoof

I really hope you mean years of support. =P

9:36 am

flosey

more support than anything else moon

9:36 am

Buttonman

WTG Mono

9:37 am

bbnaz

Moon, just like any large family, there are sometimes bruised feelings. Doesn't mean that you are not loved.

9:37 am

Haz1558

Yes, the positive outweighs the negative, but the negative has made me change my babbling habits.

9:37 am

bbnaz

HUZZAH Nono!

9:37 am

kathw

ty nono and congrats

9:38 am

FMitch

moon - take your rose coloured specs off, we are just like any extended family here in babble.
Sticks tongue out at Haz :)

9:38 am

NonoNanette

ok I am off now... happy babbling everyone

9:38 am

moonwoof

The really screwed up part, to me... Is that I usually only get like this about really dear friends I've had for years. I could care LESS what anyone says about me... But the moment it feels like someone else. I get all GGRRR faced.

9:39 am

moonwoof

I like rose... It's making your icon all redish...

9:39 am

moonwoof

Wait. That is your icon.

9:39 am

Haz1558

I'll see that tongue and raise you a raspberry, FMitch.

9:39 am

bbnaz

roflmfao

9:39 am

Cya Nono!

9:40 am

FMitch

So long as there is no cream Haz, raspberry away friend!

9:40 am

moonwoof

mmmm. raspberry ice cream

9:40 am

Haz1558

No, no cream.

9:40 am

Jacula

I'm back again for final 6 words. I just gave P that whippet article to read and then stabbed the jacket potatoes ready to put in the oven. *grins evilly* He winced.

9:41 am

Haz1558

He winced at the article?

9:41 am

FMitch

Hello Jacs, love your pic.

9:41 am

Haz1558

Or he winced at the thought of the subject of the article and then the potato stabbing?

9:41 am

Jacula

Haz - I timed it so I did the stabbing as he reached the pertinent part of the article.

9:41 am

Jacula

Hi FM.

9:41 am

Haz1558

And now he's sitting with legs crossed.

9:42 am

FMitch

LOL

9:42 am

Jacula

Yup, Haz, and a protective hand there.

9:42 am

Haz1558

Belt and braces.

9:42 am

FMitch

So long as he isn't wearing your undies - but that is a whole nother story

9:42 am

moonwoof

Amusingly Haz, when it's all little like that it looks like my partners dog.

9:43 am

Haz1558

I was impressed that he could get into his wife's undies.

9:43 am

Jacula

FM - ROFLOL

9:43 am

FMitch

OK am going to pretend I didnt type that in the first place!

9:43 am

bbnaz

dagnabbit Jac, I missed the photo fun I guess

9:43 am

Marc Freeman

Good morning, need a clue for ad6/33, please?

9:44 am

Jacula

bbnaz - photo's still there.

9:44 am

moonwoof

ad6 = to command solemnly

9:44 am

hurshy

i had a brief spurt of work!

9:44 am

moonwoof

ooops. that's the 39.

9:45 am

moonwoof

Ok, Mark. You meant 6.39

9:45 am

bbnaz

the pup playing in the water?

9:45 am

bbnaz

and where the heck are your flickr fotos?

9:45 am

Marc Freeman

yes I meant the 6/39, going to look for it now thanks

9:45 am

moonwoof

Is that good Hursh? I hope you didnt strain yourself.

9:45 am

Jacula

springer spaniel in muddy water, bb!

9:46 am

moonwoof

The 39 is the biggest clue, Marc

9:46 am

bbnaz

we raised springers for many years.........

9:46 am

Jacula

I don't know what happened to my flickr pics, bb. I can't get babble to accept them back.

9:46 am

billmster

ty Moon

9:47 am

moonwoof

Jac, that dog really doesnt look self cleaning... I'd say self-wetting. Even tho that sounds even more dirty.

9:47 am

moonwoof

yw bill and good morning

9:48 am

Jacula

moon - it was a play on something Haz said earlier about Spangle being self-cleaning.

9:48 am

flosey

does anyone have a clue for at6 please

9:48 am

bbnaz

not common flosey - the ending "al"

9:48 am

moonwoof

Well, now *I* have to go back and read the log.. ty Jac

9:48 am

Haz1558

at6 - not being the usual representation of something (normally with Mr Gore at the end)

9:49 am

FMitch

Sorry can't help flosey, don't actually have any words in my list

9:49 am

flosey

thanks bb and haz

9:49 am

bbnaz

62 to go........

9:49 am

Haz1558

Ooooh, FMitch is being all sensible and work-orientated again. The discipline of it all.

9:50 am

Haz1558

The sort of discipline that gets her high marks in her essays!

9:50 am

bbnaz

i am getting really sick of monkeying the or6 :p

9:50 am

FMitch

Umm well I wouldn't say that exactly. I should be work focused but babble side tracked me and Im playing around with some bracelet design ideas.

9:51 am

bbnaz

found it finally

9:51 am

Haz1558

That sounds good. We like to side track.

9:51 am

hurshy

work is good. i wish i always had plenty of it and didn't have to resort to babble at work.

9:52 am

moonwoof

BB, that was my last word... It's from the o way down in the corner, and that makes the word much easier.

9:52 am

Haz1558

Resort to babble. What kind of talk is that?

9:52 am

moonwoof

good job BB!

9:52 am

FMitch

blasphemy!

9:53 am

moonwoof

Is "shiny" a discipiline? If it is, I'm Very disciplined.

9:53 am

Haz1558

You'll get run out of town soon, hurshy, if you keep up that sort of talk.

9:53 am

bbnaz

i swear that i am slogging through thigh deep mud dragging along a grid called babble this date.

Haz1558

Sorry - was lost in morewords there. Let me think....

10:00 am

montreal13

"Have more tea, will babble some more" - need clue for an7/28 please...

10:00 am

Haz1558

I quite like it as a grid, enough normal words to make you feel half human, enough strange ones to make the hunt interesting.

10:00 am

Uniquity

Well, back from first class of the year nad had the weirdest experience yet. Our December exams (a three hour killer which destroyed many trees as well as my wrist) were stolen, unmarked from his car two hours after the exam. We have no marks...and have to take a class vote to double the weight of the final, or use our marks from our three papers. This is...bizarre

10:00 am

FMitch

The fact you have to think is probably statement enough!

Hello monty.

10:01 am

Uniquity

Unfortunately, that exam was going to bring my marks up, as well! This is a tough class, and I could have used the boost.

10:01 am

montreal13

hi FM, hazel Uni et al ...

10:01 am

Haz1558

Hello uniquity, and welcome back montreal.

10:02 am

What a situation Uni!

10:02 am

moonwoof

Morning Montie! And I'm sorry to hear Uni. Welcome to Monday.

10:02 am

Haz1558

Uniquity, that is really annoying, especially since you worked hard for the exam and during the exam.

10:02 am

montreal13

Stolen papers ...or laziness Uni ???

10:02 am

bbnaz

Oh Haz, I am enjoying the slog tremendously. It makes the puzzle far more interesting than a dash.

10:02 am

flosey

Hi Luc

10:02 am

moonwoof

an7 = against + what we breathe

10:02 am

Haz1558

Such a cynic, montreal, and from one so young.

10:02 am

flosey

10:02 am

bbnaz

Luc. How are you today?

10:03 am

bbnaz

the bunnies ran free in the backyard, she couldn't catch them.

10:22 am

Jacula

Very funny, Haz. ;-)

10:22 am

10:25 am

Haz1558

Congratulations on fireworks anyway, flosey. You did the work, you deserve the glory.

10:25 am

moonwoof

I have a theory about solitaire, Flosey. I have a deck of cards in my purse so that if I ever get lost I can start playing solitaire... Cause I KNow that when I get stuck someone will come by to point out a move, and I can ask em for directions.

10:25 am

hurshy

i have sympathy for them, though i do think charles should abdicate in favor of william

10:26 am

Haz1558

No, Eva, potato stabbers relates to what flosey could do to inflict pain on her husband for getting the last word.

10:26 am

hurshy

no they decided she can't be called queen, didn't they?

10:26 am

montreal13

good one moon...

flosey

lol moon, that's for sure

She could be called Queen, says she won't be, but who knows?

10:27 am

flosey

will they accept a divorced woman as queen?

10:27 am

bbnaz

and if queen mum was any example, queen should be around for a long time........

10:27 am

hurshy

they were a generation caught in a transitional period, and it screwed them over

10:27 am

Haz1558

Eva - details on the new niece?

10:28 am

moonwoof

Why would he abdicate so soon? I mean look how long his mom is lasting... He's still got another 30 years to go...

10:28 am

Jacula

The botched launching of and subsequent Norovirus outbreak on the Queen Victoria liner does not bode well for Camilla.

10:28 am

10:58 am

moonwoof

Sorry I've just now gotten like 90 things that somehow all seem to need my attention right now and was distracted. I figured with the comedy talk Owl would have been one of those.

Haz1558

1:54 pm

Scarlet

Lori, I also have an Oster stand mixer that is going strong after 22 years!

1:55 pm

LoriP

Scarlet, the air was blue around me this afternoon. This grid lowered my IQ, a hit I couldn't afford.

1:55 pm

Scarlet

LOL... not a chance dear... your I.Q. gets sharper with every triumph of this dagnabbity game...

1:55 pm

LoriP

Really Scarlet? Impressive. You couldn't take my KA from me for any amount of money. It saved my life.

1:56 pm

Scarlet

My KA and the Oster do triple duty about four times a year, and I would be lost without them...

1:57 pm

LoriP

My past record was 3 hand hel mixers in 1 year.

1:57 pm

Scarlet

The only thing I have not caved into doing with the KA is using the kneading hooks... I still do it the old-fashioned way: two hands and a lot of oomph!

1:57 pm

LoriP

* held

1:57 pm

Scarlet

Wow... now THAT is impressive! LOL

1:58 pm

LoriP

Oh Scarlet. It kneads bread, and assorted dough so beautifully.

1:58 pm

Scarlet

1:59 pm

lil*monkey

oh thanks scarlet, i am still monkeying that O

1:59 pm

LoriP

The year I was pregnant with #4, 3 hand held mixers. Blew my mind. Honestly, try it, you will be pleasantly surprised.

1:59 pm

Scarlet

The balloon whip is a gem of a creature, though!

2:00 pm

Scarlet

I am making a wild guess here and ASSUME that you are not talking about pregnancy nor having my mind blown... LOL

snags

bichon, how do you keep your dogs eyes and face from turning brown?

2:30 pm

bichon

that picture is not actually my bichon, but a show dog. The show dog people and groomers have many tricks, none of which I think is fair to my own pet. I love him the way he is.

2:31 pm

2:31 pm

snags

my daughter has a white bichon. she bought something that is sprinkled on her food in a powder form

2:31 pm

snags

however it runs about 60 dollars a month

2:32 pm

snags

so she is seeking other methods of keeping her white

2:32 pm

bichon

I know there are items you can use, but I'm just not into cosmetics, for myself or pet. I do take him to the groomer, but that's to keep his coat from getting all matted.

2:33 pm

bichon

dampy

2:33 pm

bichon

sorry

3:22 pm

Dorens

3:22 pm

Merk

Same here, a few more minutes then off for a swim. Too cold to walk outside here for my exercise.

3:46 pm

Brookie

ty6 - an evil ruler

3:47 pm

3:47 pm

Robo-bonobo

ty 6 = a fearsome leader

I love it kristin, considering my options for employment or education next year...

4:35 pm

kristinc

glad I can be of service kate (if only weight loss were that simple yes?)

4:35 pm

dcseain

the fluctuating temps in the winter are normal here, it's why most are sick through a lot of the winter, i think. it rarely stays cold enough to kill things

4:35 pm

kthdsn

tell me about it lol

4:35 pm

stidmama

okay, these UR 7s are killing me! please help if they aren't fishy...

4:35 pm

4:36 pm

4:36 pm

thanks DC

4:36 pm

stidmama

hi flask! missed your entrance!

4:36 pm

Flask1

I said hi to you all!

4:37 pm

stidmama

woot!!!! TEN to go!

4:37 pm

kthdsn

what's this subbing all about then?

4:38 pm

herinfernallady

I love those dogs i really do. Great big white ball of fluff

5:25 pm

LadyNatts

5:26 pm

herinfernallady

big and cuddly a bear as a dog

5:26 pm

LadyNatts

5:27 pm

herinfernallady

How long for the cone?

5:27 pm

hurshy

5:38 pm

ChrissieDee

sounds like we're all tired at the moment

5:38 pm

dcseain

ta5/10 - too much in spanish/italian - it's music term. think lone ranger

5:38 pm

herinfernallady

I think that i need food

5:38 pm

ChrissieDee

thanks dc

5:38 pm

LadyNatts

ta5/10 is "much" in another language... t+picnic pest + 4th vowel

5:38 pm

bichon

dc how many languages do you know?

5:39 pm

dcseain

a few, bichon

5:39 pm

5:42 pm

ChrissieDee

thanks all, goodnight, see you tomorrow

5:42 pm

herinfernallady

Night Chrissie

5:42 pm

bichon

learning arabic would really be a challenge. It's spoken really fast, fster than Hebrew

5:42 pm

LadyNatts

they didnt do a bad job... we did the poor dog an injury by not watching him the first night... when he got past the cone that was too small and licked himself into complications

5:42 pm

dcseain

g'night chrissie!

5:43 pm

dcseain

pretty icon, herin!

5:43 pm

herinfernallady

Thanks DC that is one of my photos i took at the Dalesford convent.

5:43 pm

dcseain

i'm hoping the tad of hebrew i know will help.

5:43 pm

herinfernallady

Don't blame your self Natts dogs do these things

5:44 pm

bichon

there's lotsw of similarities. I think it's supposed to be like Spanish and Portuguese

5:45 pm

dcseain

that's my understanding too, bichon. i'm intimidated by the writing system, but i figure i learned to write chinese, how hard can that alphabet be.

5:45 pm

LadyNatts

They do... I've never had a more traumatic neuter, though... I've had 3 dogs and 5 cats go through it.

5:46 pm

herinfernallady

Well he does have a big boof head

5:46 pm

LadyNatts

lol... yep!

5:46 pm

bichon

I agree DC. Hebrew isn't difficult to read if they have the system of voweols [nikudot] in ther. Otherwise it's a mystery to me.

5:46 pm

herinfernallady

I would love a big dog but we are cat people

5:47 pm

eieios

an 7 clue, please!

5:47 pm

LadyNatts

we are cat people too.... have 5

5:47 pm

Marc Freeman

need a clue for cy7/40, please?

5:47 pm

dcseain

hebrew began to make more sense after i studied some Tegrinya, and ethiopic language derived from hebrew.

5:47 pm

LadyNatts

there are two cy7/40's marc

5:47 pm

dcseain

hy, marc, extend the colour, then change the vowel toward the end.

5:48 pm

herinfernallady

yawn

5:48 pm

bichon

Actually, as a language, Hebrew is easy. It only has the continuous tense and all the words come from 3-letter roots. It's the reading that I found hard.

5:48 pm

LadyNatts

an7 = an4/4 + what we breathe

5:48 pm

dcseain

that makes sense

5:49 pm

Marc Freeman

dc I got one cy7 but the other one is eluding me?

5:49 pm

eieios

thanks, lady. seen that before. should have known![i

5:49 pm

dcseain

ty, natts, i was looking from the wrong A

I just got here, Herin

7:07 pm

Krista

Same here - more masochism

7:07 pm

herinfernallady

I had to hace a shower as i was falling asleep

7:07 pm

Krista

I

7:08 pm

hurshy

so... who else is watching american gladiators?? :) :)

7:08 pm

Krista

I'm eating leftover candy canes, drinking Diet Dr. Pepper, and playing Babble. What a combo.

7:08 pm

doxy1lover

I'm here for a few more minutes.

7:08 pm

herinfernallady

I am watching Underworld Evolution. I want Dr Pepper

7:08 pm

Krista

Not me, that's for sure, Hursh.

7:09 pm

Krista

Hi Doxy - you finished?

7:09 pm

hurshy

i'm so thrilled they brought back the gladiators, such a fun show

7:09 pm

Jacula

I'm here. I was reading back on yesterday's log and am now trying to find Sprite's heart icon for her.

7:09 pm

Krista

My ex-husband was hurrying home to see it when he brought our daughter home.

7:09 pm

hurshy

i mean i think it's so fabulous that they took the whole gladiatorial competitive idea and made it non-lethal and padded and fun :)

7:09 pm

Jacula

Hursh - I used to like Gladiators. Eunice Cathcart was just the very best competitor.

7:10 pm

Krista

Is something wrong with Sprite? Hope not.

7:10 pm

Jacula

That as the UK version though... I think.

7:10 pm

Jacula

Krista - No. When her pc crashed she lost her icons, including her trademark heart one.

7:10 pm

Krista

rotaty is not a word, in case you wondered

7:11 pm

Krista

Aw, glad that's all it is, Jac. Nice of you to look for it.

7:11 pm

Jacula

LOL, krista. Can't say I tried that one though I did try adding a 'y' to other words.

7:11 pm

herinfernallady

That and i have a goldfish brain

7:12 pm

hurshy

what's british trash talk? oh, i say, i am planning to boil your pudding

7:12 pm

herinfernallady

Is that the heart with the barb wire that sprite had?

7:12 pm

Jacula

BTW, I finished hours ago if anyone needs clues. If I'm slow in replying it's 'cos I'm off looking for that icon.

7:12 pm

Krista

What is Underworld Evolution, Herin?

7:12 pm

Krista

Lol, Hurshy!

7:12 pm

herinfernallady

Vampires vrs Werewolfs

7:13 pm

Jacula

British trash talk?

7:13 pm

herinfernallady

The worse thing is im trying to watch it but my brain is all a twitter

7:13 pm

Krista

You know, how they'd talk to each other on "British Gladiator"

7:13 pm

doxy1lover

have 42 left. will be back later to finish.

7:14 pm

Krista

I'd be happy with 42, Doxy. :) See you later.

7:15 pm

herinfernallady

Krista my b.f and i saw Underworld together as our first date. Talk about perfect pair as we are both geeky role players

7:15 pm

Krista

This is not one I'll be finishing.

7:15 pm

Krista

Aw, so that is your special movie.

7:16 pm

lil*monkey

last me5 ???

7:17 pm

Krista

have the others, but not that one, sorry

7:17 pm

Jars

cr6 or cr8 anyone?

7:17 pm

Jacula

last me5 = same 4 first letters as one before it then add personal pronoun vowel for end.

7:17 pm

Jacula

cr6 and 8 have to do with the skull.

7:18 pm

lil*monkey

just got the last me5, first 3 letters of other me words, plus 3rd vowel twice

7:18 pm

Jacula

BBS - text from my daughter just arrived.

7:18 pm

Krista

ok, Jac

7:18 pm

bubba218

Hi Krista, how goes it?

7:18 pm

herinfernallady

Krista yes it is (shhhh)

7:19 pm

Jacula

Aw, bless her little cotton socks! The text said, 'How long do I boil an egg for if I want it hard-boiled? xxx'

7:19 pm

Krista

Doing well! And you, Bubba Bubba Bo Bubba Banana Fana Fo Fubba?

7:19 pm

Jars

ty, jacula

7:20 pm

bubba218

Still alive and kicking

7:20 pm

Krista

Wow, young people text their Moms for those questions now. I feel so old.

7:21 pm

lil*monkey

i am stuck on the first two mi words... anyone have those ???

7:21 pm

Krista

I guess that's the most important thing, Bubba. Well enough to crawl to the keyboard = good day. Are you finished?

7:21 pm

herinfernallady

Jac tell her 3min or till the water boils dry and the egg explodes if you like he he he

7:21 pm

lil*monkey

LOL herin!

7:21 pm

bubba218

busy day, so 5 left

7:22 pm

nrkii

Jacula, your daughter sounds like me... I'm always asking my Dad or Mom questions like that

7:22 pm

nrkii

1 left here

7:22 pm

nrkii

but I'm stuck

7:22 pm

Krista

Get to work, Bubba. Monkey..I only have the last two mi's so far, sorry again.

7:23 pm

herinfernallady

Or tell her to look it up on the net :D

7:23 pm

Krista

What good am I.

7:23 pm

nrkii

first two MI words are "small"

7:23 pm

bubba218

mi***scope

7:23 pm

Jacula

Herin - don't be horrible!;-) I told her 6 mins and then put the cooked in in cold water to avoid getting a grey rim around the yolk.

7:23 pm

herinfernallady

Hi Bubba and Nrkii

7:24 pm

Krista

AH ty

7:24 pm

bubba218

and then change the last vowel for the mi5

7:24 pm

bubba218

Hi Herin

7:24 pm

nrkii

help with DI 8 please?

7:24 pm

lil*monkey

hey THANKS nrkii

7:24 pm

Krista

I hate the gray stuff..I always overcook..I'll use that tip, Jacula!

7:25 pm

Krista

Nice to see your Nellie Olsen, nrkii. :)

7:25 pm

nrkii

hi herinfernallady

7:25 pm

lil*monkey

di8 is di + 4th vowel + a panor**** view

7:25 pm

Jacula

Krista - you need to hange the cold water 3 times, the first 2 times rapidly and then leave it in the 3rd lot until cold.

7:25 pm

Jacula

*change

7:25 pm

nrkii

YAY - that's fireworks -- thanks monkey!!!

7:26 pm

lil*monkey

YAY YIPPEE NRKII !!!!

7:26 pm

nrkii

Krista, I just can't give Nellie up

7:27 pm

Jacula

Well done, nrk.

7:27 pm

herinfernallady

Jac my mum exploded an egg once

7:27 pm

nrkii

tough grid today

7:27 pm

Krista

ok! hope that makes them easier to peel, too. I'm hit or miss with the eggs. I can cook a mean omelette, though.

7:28 pm

nrkii

Krista, I always roll them before I peel them -- makes it very easy, if they're cooked right

7:28 pm

Krista

Congrats, nrkii. Good for anyne who finishes this one!

7:29 pm

pam

congrats, nrkii

7:29 pm

Jacula

Krista - the peeling, easy or not, is more about the eggs you buy and how thick the shells are. Factory eggs have thin shells and don't usually peel well. Proper free-range eggs are easier to peel and are the kinder option anyway.

7:29 pm

pam

hi, jac

7:29 pm

hurshy

i have another poll

7:29 pm

Krista

It's that cooked right part that gets me. :) Rolling - good tip.

7:29 pm

Jacula

Krista - do you add water of milk to your eggs for omelettes?

7:29 pm

Jacula

Hi, pam.

7:29 pm

Jacula

A poll, hursh? Go ahead.

7:29 pm

hurshy

would you rather be you than anybody else?

7:30 pm

Jacula

Krista - that was water or milk, not of milk. LOL

7:30 pm

nrkii

ooh, Jacula, I add milk for sure!

7:30 pm

Krista

Just a tiny bit of water, Jac. I used to use milk, but I like the end result of the water better. Fluffier.

7:30 pm

nrkii

Hurshy, hands down YES

7:30 pm

nrkii

interesting... must try water one of these days

7:30 pm

Jacula

Hursh - I'm used to being me, I know me pretty well, so, on balance, I think I'd be me.

7:31 pm

Krista

I never heard of that until my cousin's wife told me - it works.

7:31 pm

Jacula

Krista - I agree - one tiny splash of water per egg.

7:31 pm

pam

water or milk to boil eggs in ???

7:31 pm

nrkii

meanwhile, I made meatloaf yesterday that called for cream or sweet milk in the recipe -- it was odd, but turned out fabulous

7:31 pm

Krista

Eeesh - having never been anyone else, I guess I'd stick with me. Not that I'm so great, but I'd rather deal with the familiar.

7:31 pm

nrkii

no pam, for omelettes (but I read it that way at first too!)

7:31 pm

Jacula

The same applies to milk (one tiny splash per egg) when making scrambled eggs. Too much liquid makes sloppy scrambed, Yuck!

7:32 pm

pam

Oh, omelettes... I have been told water works better... cold water. But, I have never read the ON food and cooking or science in the kichen books

7:32 pm

pam

hi, jac

7:32 pm

hurshy

i like my scrambled eggs slightly sloppy and wet

7:32 pm

pam

oh, said that already...

7:33 pm

Krista

yes, nrkii, that's an odd one! (the meatloaf)

7:33 pm

nrkii

okay, have to run... 2 big packages were waiting on my doorstep when I got home tonight, and I haven't opened them yet

7:33 pm

nrkii

Night all!

7:33 pm

pam

I like my scrambled made with cream cheese...

7:33 pm

Krista

Ooh! Packages! Hope they're good ones.

7:33 pm

Jacula

Do you , hursh? I like mine drier and in separate lumps. I also add salt, freshly ground black pepper and parsley to the mix.

7:33 pm

pam

Have fun and good night, nrkii

7:33 pm

nrkii

yes, Krista, 2008 Christmas presents already :)

7:34 pm

nrkii

night!

7:34 pm

hurshy

i do not like to add any spices or herbs, i like to either eat them with ham and homefries, or on buttered toast

7:34 pm

Jacula

nrkii - I wouldn't have waited before opening them! Have fun!

7:34 pm

Krista

Sometimes I eat catsup on mine, or salsa.

7:34 pm

herinfernallady

Um there is Easter eggs on our shelves here

7:34 pm

Krista

I bet that was her reward for finishing the grid.

7:35 pm

pam

I add stuff, hursh...

7:35 pm

Krista

mmm home fries

7:35 pm

hurshy

if i were not already full, i would have to go make some scrambled eggs... lol

7:35 pm

Jacula

hursh - have you noticed that scrambled eggs on toast leap off in a last desperate bid for freedom just before they reach the mouth?

7:36 pm

Krista

How do you add, Pam?

7:36 pm

Krista

I meant WHAT

7:36 pm

pam

lolol, hursh and jac

7:36 pm

herinfernallady

I have lunch cooking

7:36 pm

hurshy

not so much if you have another piece of toast on top holding them down

7:36 pm

Jacula

I've caught many of the little blighters in my bra cleavage.;-)

7:36 pm

pam

I add salt, pepper, and onion...

7:37 pm

herinfernallady

I add chlli

7:37 pm

Jacula

hursh - the crush and subdue tactic? I must try that. LOL

7:37 pm

pam

I scramble the cream cheese into the egg, along with the herbs. i usually fry the onions first... If I am making Lox, eggs, and onions, I don't use the cream cheese

7:37 pm

JBV

good evening- interesting chat - I just had a light dinner of two scrambled eggs - mushrooms, fresh spinach and served with ketchup

7:37 pm

herinfernallady

HI JB

7:37 pm

pam

sounds great, jbv!

7:38 pm

Krista

Pam, that sounds great.

7:38 pm

Jacula

So many cooks and so many new id4's! Brilliant!

7:38 pm

JBV

got started late today - it's 8:30 here - and I have 57 words to find!!!

7:38 pm

hurshy

you should jac :) i'm not saying it's 100%, but i imagine it's better than not.

7:38 pm

Jacula

JBV - Hi. I'm here to clue.

7:38 pm

pam

thanks, krista

7:38 pm

Krista

That's a cooincidence, JBV! My grandfather used to make catsup that was soooo good on scrambled eggs. It was nothing like store-bought. Some day I'll try to make it, but it's very labor-intensive.

7:39 pm

phaeton

a clue for the ta6/18?

7:39 pm

Jacula

hursh - I seem to have lost you off my MSN. Not suggesting a chat now but I know we had one a few nights ago during which I rudely left you hanging. Truly sorry about that!

7:39 pm

JBV

thanks, jac - there's an a 5/10 that I have not been able to figure out - can you help?

7:39 pm

Krista

I've never had lox, though..don't think I'd like them.

7:39 pm

Jacula

Latin plural of the an4.4 before it, JBV.

7:39 pm

hurshy

oh that's ok jac, it's the nature of online chat :)

7:40 pm

herinfernallady

Krista how hard?

7:40 pm

Uniquity

Hi all! Hopefully oding last 106 words...

7:40 pm

Krista

Once again, hopelessly distracted from the grid by food talk.

7:40 pm

Jars

me 6/27 anyone, please?

7:40 pm

JBV

thank you - my a's are done!

7:40 pm

pam

love lox- smoked salmon for those who don't know--and when cooked into scrambled eggs with onions, it's a Jewish deli treat!

7:40 pm

pam

LOL, krista, me, too

7:40 pm

Jacula

ta6/18 - a bit like sex without touching word that ends in 'ic'. Thing Sting & Trudi.

7:41 pm

Krista

Lots lots and lots of peeling, cooking, processing of tomatoes,not to mention the canning process. Not for me. But I would love to taste that stuff again.

7:41 pm

hurshy

and the girls run for the food... (the cats... the timer just kicked in)

7:41 pm

phaeton

Who are sting and trudi?

7:41 pm

hurshy

sting is a really famous singer

7:41 pm

pam

sting of police fame and his wife trudi styler, why, phaeon

7:42 pm

phaeton

oh...that sting

7:42 pm

hurshy

and his wife appeared on friends

7:42 pm

hurshy

his son supposedly teased ben by saying his mom was a lesbonym

7:42 pm

phaeton

huh, guess i'm not with it

7:42 pm

Krista

Good clue, Jac. I saw the Police in July.

7:42 pm

Jacula

me6/27 is a doctor, as a Mexican might describe him?

7:42 pm

hurshy

i saw the police in july too - they gave me a speeding ticket.

7:43 pm

Jars

lol, thanks again jacula

7:43 pm

pam

lol, hursh.. nice clue, jac

7:43 pm

Krista

Bet they didn't sing to you, though. :)~

7:43 pm

pam

phantom: empiric

7:44 pm

phaeton

ok, so that didn't really help me very much

7:44 pm

Jacula

LOL, hursh.

7:44 pm

Krista

Sting's son's band was the opening act...sounds just like him

7:45 pm

herinfernallady

Krista making sauce really isn't that hard it is the canning thats a pain in the arse

7:45 pm

Jacula

'Sting' is really a Geordie named Gordon Sumner who was once a teacher and gained his stage name from teasing after he wore yellow and black striped jersey for a gig he once did with a jazz band he was in back in the mists of time.

7:45 pm

Krista

phaeton, they are famous for having a peculiar type of sex that starts with ta

7:45 pm

blueruin

7:46 pm

blueruin

i just met a girl named ma5,12

7:46 pm

hurshy

how do you solve a problem like her?

7:46 pm

phaeton

ok, but having trouble finding it in the grid

7:46 pm

blueruin

good question, hurshy

7:46 pm

herinfernallady

BLUEEEEEEEEE hugs

7:46 pm

Jacula

Nice clue, hursh!

7:47 pm

Krista

sounds like a temper ta*****

7:47 pm

blueruin

(((((((((((infernal)))))))))))))))

7:47 pm

hurshy

ta6 rhymes with a chant that you repeat over and over

7:47 pm

blueruin

haven't been around, i was in sunny florida

7:47 pm

Krista

Hi Blue

7:47 pm

herinfernallady

I remember that. I haven't been around as im lazy

7:47 pm

blueruin

hey krista!

7:47 pm

blueruin

haha good reason lady

7:47 pm

Jacula

Nice clue, again, hursh. Probably much better than my Sting and Trudi one.

7:48 pm

hurshy

climbing a wet 30 foot cargo net really does seem very hard.

7:48 pm

Krista

Tom Waits quoter, if I remember correctly without looking at your profile.

7:48 pm

JBV

he 7/32 - is it related to the he 4/5?

7:48 pm

blueruin

good memory, krista!

7:48 pm

hurshy

and then the hand bike...

7:48 pm

herinfernallady

I have been either finishing the grids quick or they have been driving me nuts

are you watching gladiator, hursh?'

7:51 pm

Jacula

JBV - he7 is an ancient Greek concubine. If you get annoyed you get he* up, add what you breathe + a vowel.

7:51 pm

Jacula

Hope that didn't spell it out too much, JBV?

7:51 pm

hurshy

yes!!!!!!

7:51 pm

bubba218

Krista, monkeyed it, o + baseball players use ste***s + second vowel

7:51 pm

pam

lol-- i thought so, hursh! i am watching football...

7:52 pm

JBV

thanks, I knew the concubine personally - from crossword puzzles - just didn't recognize her!

7:52 pm

Krista

that 3rd ta 5/10 is in the grid a lot

7:52 pm

Krista

nice work, Bubba..thanks

7:52 pm

Jacula

I'm not watching anything other than the chatlog.:D

7:52 pm

hurshy

maybe it's because i am weak, inflexible, slow, and have very little endurance, but i can't help enjoying watching gladiators and world's strongest man.

7:52 pm

pam

lol, jbv. I was looking for joni mitchell's hejira...

7:52 pm

Jacula

JBV - you knew her personally? No, don't answer. LOL

7:52 pm

Jars

Anyone for ra6/21?

7:52 pm

pam

ROFL, hursh...

7:53 pm

bubba218

ra + princess ****e

7:53 pm

pam

I can see why, jac... everything is moving at warp speed...

7:53 pm

JBV

at least my fantasy life is exciting

7:53 pm

hurshy

course by that token, dumb people should enjoy jeopardy and stuff, but i don't think they do.

7:54 pm

Jacula

ra6/21 - knock the last letter off the glowing with health word after it.

7:54 pm

pam

thanks, bubba...

7:54 pm

Jars

Yeah, someone offered that before...all I can come up with is Princess BRIDe...which doesn't work. I'll keep thinking. Oh wait! That helps, thanks, Jacula.

7:54 pm

Jars

I owe you a lot.

7:55 pm

pam

jars--bonny prince Charles' first brinde...

7:55 pm

Krista

Same here, Jars!! lol

7:55 pm

Jacula

pam - I found a book that had somehow passed me by in my childhood. I watched an adaptation of Noel Streatfield's 'Ballet Shoes' the other night and was enchanted. I've ordered boththe DVD and the book.

7:55 pm

hurshy

does that mean that physical prowess is more admired in society, or does it mean that smart non-athletic people are more secure than dumb athletic people, so they can handle watching people do things they can't remotely do?

7:55 pm

Jars

Yeah, I got it. Doesn't her name end with an "a"?

7:56 pm

pam

hmmmm, thanks, jac!!!!!!!!!!

7:56 pm

bubba218

maybe it does, but I tried

7:56 pm

Krista

I started to try that, but that wouldn't end in 'e'

7:56 pm

Krista

yeah, what Jars said. :)

7:56 pm

Jacula

Hursh - in short, I dunno.x

7:56 pm

Krista

But got it, thanks very much

7:56 pm

herinfernallady

bler

7:57 pm

hurshy

you have to be able to see past people's cluing errors, get inside their heads and thing what they must have meant...

7:57 pm

phaeton

i need a to4, one of the first four, don't kn ow which one, help

7:57 pm

hurshy

i mean think, lol

7:57 pm

bubba218

to4, foot digit + first vowel ( a common babblet)

7:57 pm

Jacula

di5/16 - is that what you seek? If so, it's your daily blog but on paper.

7:58 pm

JBV

what word can possible start with ih? am I going to be embarrassed when I find out?

7:58 pm

Jacula

ih is another babblet. ih + male sheep.

7:58 pm

Krista

I think it's because watching displays of physical prowess is more appealing to athletic and nonathletic alike because we weaklings can still aspire to physical greatness...but who likes being reminded that they're not so bright?

7:59 pm

Jacula

The definition of the ih word is this: the dress worn by male Muslims on their pilgrimage to Mecca, consisting of two white cotton cloths, one worn round the waist, the other over the left shoulder.

7:59 pm

JBV

ok, thanks, not embarrassed - totally new word for me

7:59 pm

Krista

If that made one bit of sense.

7:59 pm

phaeton

well, i know i typed that twenty times and it wouldn't register. Thanks Bubba

7:59 pm

phaeton

any help with the ur7's, my last two words

8:00 pm

hurshy

i totally cannot aspire to physical greatness. or anyway, i don't. if i could get to the point where i was flexible enough to touch my toes, that would be enough for me.

8:00 pm

bubba218

ur + low blood count ( take out the n)

8:00 pm

bubba218

change the last letter for the second ur7

8:01 pm

featherbee

gekki babblers. ha, my right hand was off by one letter. i kind of like gekki better than hello.

8:01 pm

Jacula

I watched that 'Half Ton Mom' programme the night before last, about the lady who begged for help when she was 40 stone, didn't get it until she was 64 stone and then died 2 weeks after her gastric band op., leaving behind 2 young daughters and a grieving (mostly overweight) family. I felt so sorry for her! Overeating (as in the body not sensing the 'full now!' signal is an illness, just like anorexia is.

8:01 pm

phaeton

Thank YOu Bubba! I'm Done!

8:01 pm

bubba218

congrats phaeton

8:01 pm

hurshy

and i'm not even fat, i'm tall and thin, but i just cannot touch my toes. my hamstrings are years of stretching away from it. isn't that so sad?

8:02 pm

hurshy

gekki to you feather

8:02 pm

featherbee

why didn't she get help before?

8:02 pm

JBV

congrats, phaeton!

8:02 pm

phaeton

Thanks Bubba, JBV, Hurshy, and anyone else out there for the clues. Good night

8:02 pm

bubba218

at 6,30 please

8:02 pm

bichon

my friend's daughter had a gastric by pass and lost 150 lbs. Now she's pregnant and going to deliver at home with a midwife in a pool of water in her living room. How dumb is that

8:02 pm

herinfernallady

Jac some people actually are missing the bit between stomach and brain that says 'stop eating;

8:02 pm

Krista

I think my point was that, yes, brains are probably more admired in society. But then again, you wouldn't know it if you judged by paychecks (a neurosurgeon vs. an NBA star, for example)

8:03 pm

Jacula

feather - because all the hospitals slammed the door in her face and told her to lose weight before she could have the gastric banding op. They put her in touch with their dieticians. Thing is, if she could have followed a diet, she would have done.

8:03 pm

phaeton

returning the favor...at6...at + sometimes vowel end with ice ***k

8:03 pm

featherbee

why dumb bichon?

8:04 pm

featherbee

very sad jac

8:04 pm

Krista

we're the opposite, Hurshy - I'm overweight but have always been very flexible - i can even put my leg behind my head..whoo hoo..put that on my resume

8:04 pm

Jacula

Herin - yes, I know that. However, judging from the forum stuff I've read since I looked up Renee Williams' story, not so many people know that.

8:04 pm

Krista

My MIL goes for a consult for lap-band Wed. Ugh. And GEKKI Feather!

8:05 pm

hurshy

i saw a woman on discovery health channel who was always thin until she was about 22 and had an operation, got blood transfusions obviously during it, and then gained 100 pounds within a few months. very sobering, isn't it? it was very clear that something they gave her changed her whole physiology. very sobering.

8:05 pm

herinfernallady

Bichon there is nothing dumb about having a child at home with a midwife in water. Babies can breath in water in the first breath. Also our coxic bone (the one at the end of the spine is flexible and its meant to go back when in birth. Having babies on ones back isn't very helpful to the body

8:05 pm

bubba218

Thanks phaeton, we're even

8:06 pm

featherbee

that's very strange hursh. i wonder if dr. house could figure out what happened?

8:06 pm

hurshy

my sister had her baby in the water, but at a birthing center, not at home. they had a real nice big tub there.

8:06 pm

hurshy

oh feather, what a delightful idea!

8:06 pm

Uniquity

Dr. House can figure out ANYTHING. **back to grid**

8:07 pm

herinfernallady

Oh also accidents and injury (mental or physical) can play up the brains chemicals and make you gain or lose weight.

8:07 pm

hurshy

i have been speculating that my sleeping problems are caused by a tumor in the area of my brain that regulates temperature.

8:07 pm

herinfernallady

Hursh that is awesome

8:07 pm

bichon

my inference was that someone who's had serious internal surgery shouldn't be delivering at home

8:07 pm

featherbee

i tried to labor in water. had heard that it was much easier, and was very for it. however, for some reason, i couldn't relax as much as i thought i would! and i had even switched rooms so i'd have a tub. ah well. it probably works great for everyone else. i did my own thing, and was fine.

8:07 pm

Krista

I was always so grateful I didn't have to get blood during surgeries. That is such a nasty thought to me.

8:08 pm

herinfernallady

Bichon if the woman has spoken to a doctor then she should be ok. Midwifes are amazing people

8:08 pm

featherbee

i'm speculating that my sleeping problems are caused by a benign growth attached to me in the middle of the night, that during the day goes by the name of nick.

8:08 pm

bichon

Her doctor knows nothing about her plan to deliver at home

8:08 pm

herinfernallady

LOL Feather

8:09 pm

featherbee

i was wondering if that was your meaning bichon, that's why i asked what you meant. would the gastric bypass make labor more dangerous?

8:09 pm

pam

i am soooooo tired all of a sudden... i need to go....

8:09 pm

pam

ciao

8:09 pm

hurshy

my sister ate so healthy and did everything so right. when she started having contractions she knelt down and leaned against the couch a bit. she then proceded to bake a cake. she said that when she got to the point, later on, where she was prepared to feel like she just couldn't do it and so forth, it was time to push! she had such a quick labor. she said of her labor, "it was great!"

8:09 pm

Krista

Bye Pam!

8:09 pm

hurshy

and pam departs... for the penalty box!

8:09 pm

herinfernallady

Bichon that doesn't sound good. But if she has been to a doctor about the pregnancy well thats their descion

8:09 pm

featherbee

night pam

8:09 pm

Scrabbler

I am speculating that my occasional sleeplessness is from a technological device beeping so as to arouse me from sleep, get a message from a chipper answering service lady, and call a frantic parent.

8:10 pm

bichon

I think and I'm not a doctor, that stress of labor might cause a problem

8:10 pm

featherbee

toss the beeper out the window scrabs!

8:10 pm

herinfernallady

Scrabler hide the pager?

8:10 pm

featherbee

does the midwife know her history?

8:10 pm

Scrabbler

During my career it has landed in the toilet twice---when it falls off of my pants.

8:11 pm

featherbee

lol! oopsie. beep beep blurb!

8:11 pm

Scrabbler

I am also very tired and am struggling to keep my eyes open.

8:11 pm

Krista

Ewwwww! Bet that was fun to sanitize.

8:11 pm

bichon

yes, she does, but personally I believe that midwifes have a cause. The mother-to-be is a doolah and also believes that hospitals aren't conducive to a natural birth.

8:12 pm

featherbee

scrabs, do we have a birth story from your friend that i helped out yet?

8:12 pm

Scrabbler

Totally gross to get it out of the bowl---repeated handwashing.

8:12 pm

Jacula

My midwife tried to give me a water birt experience when I had my daughter at home. I didn't want to stay in the bath where the water rapidly went cold. I staggered off to the bedroom to give birth kneeling down (where the penultimate contraction had floored me). However, the midwife, the ends of her hair all wet where she'd tried to attend to me in the bath where she wanted me really, said, 'It's killing my knees down here on the floor and I can't really see. Do you think you could get up on the bed?' One major last ditch effort on my part got me up there and daughter really did shoot out.

8:12 pm

harpjane

hello

8:12 pm

Krista

My son keeps dropping too-expensive-to-flush Lego pieces in the pan...

8:12 pm

featherbee

she's right, hospital's aren't conducive to a natural birth, but that doesn't mean it can't be done. i did twice.

8:13 pm

danf63

and as I recall feather, you where back on babble about 9 hours later...you're still my hero!

8:13 pm

hurshy

my sister's birthing sister was on a hospital campus, in case of emergency complications, but it was basically like a little house. we all kind of had a party there after the baby came.

8:14 pm

Scrabbler

I told her to write to you, Featherbee. 19 hrs of labor, but no meds. She tried various positions. She rolled around on a ball for a while. Her husband helped her a LOT. She is SO happy to have done it naturally.

8:14 pm

featherbee

what jac? "excuse me, i know you're in the middle of one he** of a contraction,and are dealing with some major pain/concentration issues, but i'm a little awkward down here, do you suppose you could heave your large belly up on the bed?" lol!

8:14 pm

bichon

I had a great natural irth in a hospital and I think there is some degree of propoganda attached to strong believers in home births.

8:14 pm

bichon

I had a great natural irth in a hospital and I think there is some degree of propoganda attached to strong believers in home births.

8:14 pm

Jars

I'm getting overly tired.... anyone have ra5/12? I have the one that's got consecutive vowels in it.

8:14 pm

bubba218

Never understood the desire for natural childbirth, if it come out where it is supposed to come out, it is natural-- would you consider natural root canal?

8:14 pm

Krista

I had totally medicated from start to finish c-sections...I don't recommend it, but hey, you have to do what you have to do. And I couldn't breastfeed either one..am I still a woman? In some circles, probably not.

8:14 pm

bichon

Their fall back is "we can get you to a hospitaol in 10 minutes" Ten minutes can be the difference between happiness and tragedy

8:14 pm

LoriP

No epidurals, no drugs for all 4. The only way to go.

8:15 pm

herinfernallady

You lot have put me off having kids for ever

8:15 pm

featherbee

lol, not quite that fast dan! but yeah, it was a quick labor and recovery for me

8:15 pm

hurshy

in my sister's case, bubba, it had more to do with a VERY severe needle phobia...

8:15 pm

JBV

ra 5/12 is the plural of a part of a circle - from center to edge

8:15 pm

Scrabbler

I skipped the entire pregnancy thing altogether.

8:15 pm

Jacula

Hi, harp!

8:15 pm

Uniquity

I wasn't even breastfed and I am five foot ten. :)

8:15 pm

Scrabbler

Wow, Lori!

8:15 pm

Krista

Kind of selfish midwife, Jac!

8:15 pm

LoriP

If you're in a hospital, get out as quick as possible.

8:15 pm

herinfernallady

Scrab you just had rabbits

8:16 pm

Krista

Bubba, very good point! LOL!

8:16 pm

JBV

can I get a clue for the last me 5/14>

8:16 pm

Jars

I have the plural circle measurement...I need the other one?

8:16 pm

featherbee

well, for me, it was natural and learn how to deal with the pain on my own, or *SHUDDER* have someone stick a needle in my back, or give me drugs when i've never ever had anything stronger than tylenol. i decided i wanted to do it on my own.

8:16 pm

Scrabbler

I agree, hospitals are truly dangerous places---full of germs, and people that make mistakes.

8:16 pm

Jacula

No she wasn't really selfish, Krista. I ended up on my back (we won't discuss where the rest of my limbs were placed) but daughter did shoot out rather than slide out.

8:17 pm

LoriP

Krista, I didn't nurse #1, and she's fine. The Laleche crowd are a little too fanatical with their agenda. Jacula, I had 1 in a rocking chair......

8:17 pm

JBV

oh, jars, get ready, it's what people had before TV

8:17 pm

Jacula

Scrabbler - that statement you just made has made me more than ever determined to avoid a hysterectomy.

8:17 pm

bichon

I'm surprised to hear that from a MD, Scrabbler

8:17 pm

Krista

They gave me an epidural DURING a contraction, Feather. COuldn't wait a few seconds.

8:17 pm

featherbee

krista, you are still a woman, still a mother, and still were strong to get through the birth. any woman who goes through 9 months of pregnancy and then birth is strong in my books. no matter how they do it. HOW you birth is all personal choice.

8:17 pm

bichon

Aren't they also places where people heal

8:18 pm

Krista

Lori - she's fine and 5'10, right? Lol!

8:18 pm

LoriP

Scrabbler knows, hospitals are terribbly germy places. i was outta' there like a rocket.

8:18 pm

hurshy

my sister is so disturbed by medical things that she had a seizure when she had to have a cast for a fracture, and another one when the dentist gave her novicaine (not allergic, just phobic). asking her to have an epidural would be like asking me to hold a boa constrictor while giving birth - last thing i'd want at such a time!!!

8:18 pm

Scrabbler

Women, as all people, have various pain thresholds and tolerances, and differently shaped pelvises, and different sized babies, etc---some women can go without pain meds and others cannot and should not.

8:18 pm

Uniquity

...a seizure? You can have seizures from fear? Wow.

8:18 pm

LoriP

Krista, it bothers me that nursing is like the be all end all to birthing. A healthy fed baby is all that matters. The rest is personal choice, IMO

8:19 pm

herinfernallady

I am a sook. I had 4 different pain killers for my teeth

8:19 pm

bubba218

In my experience, maternity areas of the hospital are the nicest, cleanest and most cheerful

8:19 pm

hurshy

they aren't real seizures, they are some kind of pseudo seizures. they did an EEG and it was normal.

8:19 pm

aknitter

evening all... an 7 clue please

8:19 pm

featherbee

my theory is that every woman is different, and every birth does not need to be the same. it's all about what makes that particular woman most comfortable with her own birth experience.

8:19 pm

LoriP

uni's only a little psychologically damaged from not being nursed, right? :-)

8:19 pm

Jen

Hello all.... need to weigh in on the birthing process... had my one and only in a military hospital (with the door to the hallway facing my nether-regions), had an O-6 OB/GYN AND a midwife AND all the drugs I could get.... ahhhhhhhh, the only way to experience it! :)

8:19 pm

Jacula

How you go through birth IS a personal choice and, for me, I felt that if I went through no pain I may not bond properly with my child. (I thought this after seeing a friend go through a knock-out caesarian and come out of it not knowing who she was,let alone that she'd had a child. It took her 5 years to bond with her first son!)

8:19 pm

herinfernallady

I have been accused as a junkie as i don't process codine well

8:19 pm

hurshy

nobody can really explain how or why she gets these pseudo-seizures.

8:19 pm

Krista

Heck, a few generations of us weren't breastfed. Though that era was full of misconceptions and hang-ups, too.

8:19 pm

bubba218

an7, against what we breathe

8:20 pm

aknitter

ah ty bubba

8:20 pm

LoriP

I was a Carnation baby! :-)

8:20 pm

Jars

I can't believe I'm jumping into this, but my wife has birthed children both natural and with an epidural. Looking back, she appreciates both experiences for much different reasons.

8:20 pm

featherbee

i'm very pro-breastfeeding, but will never knock those that don't. again, all personal choice.

8:21 pm

hurshy

my grandma was under general anaesthetic during her 3 ... only way to go in my unexperienced opinion!!!

8:21 pm

Jacula

So, I had both of my children with no pain relief, though I did have to fight staff in enforced hospital birth re 1st child (my son). He was breech and refused to turn. I refused a Caesarian, delivered him naturally, he came into the world bum first and has been awkward ever since! LOL

8:21 pm

herinfernallady

I am pro health of kid and mum

8:21 pm

Uniquity

If I ever get to that point...I don't yet see the necessity of it all. I think it just creates an exclusive bond between child and mum which is beautiful for them, but damages possible relationships with others.

8:22 pm

herinfernallady

Jac lol. My friend used a mid wife and natural for her twin boys both 7 to 8 pounds each

8:22 pm

harpjane

cr6?

8:22 pm

Uniquity

**it all, should breastfeeding. I don't even know how that one happened.

8:22 pm

Scrabbler

Yippee for women that endure pregnancy, labor, any which way of delivery, and being Mommies! We are all here because of our moms!

8:22 pm

featherbee

now see, i did natural births, but put me in a dentist chair, and if i was given the option of general anesthesia or novacaine, i'd opt for being knocked out! lol, different situations

8:22 pm

Krista

Thanks, Feather. That's what we all need to hear, really. But I have to admit, I feel really left out in many a conversation like this one. Eric keeps asking me how he "came out"..and why it wasn'tlike he had heard it happens..now where this 6 year old "heard" about it is another question!

8:22 pm

Jen

although, on the nursing issue... I have Crohn's Disease and much of the medical research shows that breastfeeding can lessen one's chances of that, especially if there is a family history... I was pure formula fed.... believe me, I nursed my son in hopes he doesn't get this!

8:22 pm

LoriP

Feather, i had a room mate in the hospital, reduced to tears, because she ahd to send her hub for formula. I found that very alarming. The pressure on her by staff, was unreal. I told her to stand her ground if that's what she wanted.

8:23 pm

Jars

cr6 is the plural form of a word for the head (and also a popular board game)

8:23 pm

Jars

(I think...)

8:23 pm

Jacula

I didn't breast feed either of my two beyond the first 3 days of colostrum. After that it was formula in bottles.

8:23 pm

featherbee

breastfeeding is better for many reasons, but formula isn't poison either, and if that's what you have to do, that's what you have to do.

8:23 pm

harpjane

thanks!

8:23 pm

featherbee

i keep losing track of who i want to respond to, this is moving so fast!

8:24 pm

Jacula

Also used Peaudouce French disposable nappies, and neither ever had nappy rash.

8:24 pm

Jacula

feather - same here! It is fast.

8:24 pm

Scrabbler

I need to go to bed--I am SO tired. See you tomorrow.

8:24 pm

LoriP

Sleep tight Scrabbler. Take care!

8:25 pm

featherbee

night scrabs!

8:25 pm

ok WHY do people on deal or no deal act like they are skilled or unskilled at opening "the right cases" when it is all a matter of chance????

8:25 pm

aknitter

8:25 pm

Krista

Thanks for chiming in Jars..it is all in how you look at it. I was glad the kids were healthy, and how they got here was really details.

8:25 pm

Jacula

Scrabbs - sorry we were all talking 'work' for you! xxx

8:25 pm

LoriP

Contrary to popular belief, formula makers invest greatly in making asure babies are properly nourished.

8:25 pm

featherbee

i keep hearing weird sounds, brb

8:25 pm

LoriP

Hey Jars! You're still hanging in? good for you!

8:25 pm

herinfernallady

back later gators. I have a shrinks appointment

8:26 pm

Scrabbler

It's OK, Jacula. I chose to not be a mother but I take care of them when they come out.

8:26 pm

Jacula

at6 = not conforming to the usual type.

8:26 pm

Jars

at7 = "against" + what we breathe

8:26 pm

lbdawger

Howdy everyone!

8:26 pm

bubba218

at + sometimes vowel + people use a wooden tooth ***k to clean their teeth

8:26 pm

harpjane

hi ldb

8:27 pm

Jars

Yes, Lori...I can't believe how much time I've put into this...if it takes this long every day, I can't do this!

8:27 pm

EvaNadine

evenin babblers!

8:27 pm

Jacula

I know that, Scrabbs! I wouldn't be friends with you if I thought otherwise.xxxx

8:27 pm

LoriP

Gotta' choose what works for you. Your way is not mine, and mine is not yours. To each their own.

8:27 pm

aknitter

got it ty kindly for the clues

8:27 pm

Krista

Speaking of those little creatures...mine need me now! Night,and thanks for the thought-provoking chat!

8:27 pm

Jars

Okay...forget my clue for at7...

8:27 pm

hurshy

hmm, the banker does not offer very good deals these days.

8:27 pm

featherbee

correct lori. as i said, it's not poison. however, it also isn't as good as breastmilk for many reasons. it will never harm any baby to be on formula, but on the other hand, it can give them many medical advantages to be breastfed!

8:27 pm

featherbee

gotta go check out those noises....

8:27 pm

Jars

I'd take $166K

8:27 pm

LoriP

It gets better Jars, except for the addiction part.... :-)

8:28 pm

hurshy

i would too, because it's enough. but statistically, the banker should offer 250,000, that is the fair market value.

8:28 pm

Krista

The banker's an arse.

8:28 pm

Jacula

Hi, AK. Just saw you down there.

8:28 pm

LoriP

Feather, I nursed the last 3, non nursed Uni. I saw and see no difference at all.

8:30 pm

hurshy

:) :) :)

8:30 pm

Jacula

Hi, Eva. Breastmil is a must, if possible, for the first 3 days when the colostrum is coming through. This is the liquid that gives the baby the mother's immunities. After that, well...

8:30 pm

Krista

So true, Uni.

8:30 pm

Krista

BYE BUBBA

8:30 pm

bubba218

8:31 pm

JBV

Immune systems can be readily jumpstarted by passing the baby around, and allowing their system to work, rather than sheltering them from every germ

8:31 pm

Jacula

8:32 pm

bubba218

lbd, I like you clue better

8:32 pm

hurshy

i gotta say, life is life. you never know. you do your best, but bottom line, everyone gets dealt some crap at some point. i'm physically healthy but psychologically not. you could be the healthiest person in ALL respects and get hit by a bus.

8:48 pm

JBV

8:48 pm

Jacula

If it was up to me the PB would hold only stale bread and brackish water. LOL

8:48 pm

tygerbryght

di5: teenage girls used to keep these journals

8:48 pm

lbdawger

dear di***, this grid was really wicked.

8:48 pm

lil*monkey

na4/4 is a little melange of vowels

8:49 pm

tygerbryght

na4/4 - n + 3 vowels

8:49 pm

harpjane

thanks, i'm sort of a double id5, because I actually kept one!

8:49 pm

jesdraggon

yup. still useless. i keep monkeying my way into fish.

8:49 pm

JBV

8:49 pm

tygerbryght

8:49 pm

Jacula

di5 is your daily write up on your day.

8:49 pm

lil*monkey

jacula! you are so mean! brackish water?

8:49 pm

LoriP

this grid was evil incarnate, IMO

8:50 pm

Jacula

Yep, Lori! |Stale water that's got a taste of metal.

8:50 pm

tygerbryght

I didn't think it was so bad. I only had 25 left when I went to the word lists

8:50 pm

tygerbryght

and only one of the 8s

8:50 pm

tygerbryght

Of course, sometimes I have a hard time with a grid that others think was easy :P

8:50 pm

Jacula

I thought it was a very nice grid.

8:50 pm

Jacula

LOL

8:50 pm

kthdsn

8:51 pm

LoriP

Well tyger, I saulte you, since I duly cursed this one. the air was blue.....

8:51 pm

tygerbryght

I loved the clue with the fashion designer - was that yours, jac?

8:51 pm

Jacula

Oh no! Not di8 again. This really has been the word of the day that has stumped most.

8:51 pm

Jacula

it was mine, tyger, yes.

8:52 pm

kthdsn

sorry!

8:52 pm

tygerbryght

lori, I had a conniption fit about the grid the first day that MrP & Lickety were on their mini-vacation

8:52 pm

LoriP

di 8 was one I atually got. 5's seemd to mock me in this one

8:52 pm

JBV

clue for oi 5/12, please?

8:52 pm

Jacula

kth - no! Not having a go at you, it was just a general thing.

8:52 pm

tygerbryght

and I don't think most others found that one so bad

8:52 pm

tygerbryght

oi5: oi + Spanish for 1/7th of a week

8:53 pm

LoriP

LOL tyger, I too was unimpressed with Lickety's real life infringing on Bable..... :-)

8:53 pm

kthdsn

so, any chance of a clue?

8:53 pm

LoriP

oi + ***l-up is slower than high speed

8:53 pm

tygerbryght

I was TORN, lori! I knew they desperately needed some time off

8:53 pm

Jacula

oi + first 3 letters of the **meter of something.

8:53 pm

tygerbryght

maybe jac will repeat it, kth

8:54 pm

Uniquity

I found it...interesting...to try and do it on my own. Taught me to appreciate the back-up of the list, just in case

8:54 pm

JBV

thanks for the oi - that was another weird one!

8:54 pm

LoriP

I love Lickety and mrP to bits. that said, i was selfishly unamused..... :-)

8:54 pm

8:54 pm

8:55 pm

8:55 pm

di 8 is like a pan****** view

8:55 pm

Jacula

I do wish I'd saved that clue so I could C & p it!

8:55 pm

kthdsn

8:55 pm

8:56 pm

tygerbryght

we all need help sometimes, kth

8:56 pm

tygerbryght

8:57 pm

LoriP

Lickety and mrP had the never to go camping Jac. imagine!

tygerbryght
