1:16 am

VolleymomDee

other 7/8 co combo just requires one vowel change

1:17 am

FranMag

yay! found the em7, 7s greyed out

1:17 am

jillibus

1:17 am

VolleymomDee

def of ph 8 = pertaining to or based on the observable similarities and differences between organisms without regard to assumed genealogy.

1:17 am

jillibus

1:18 am

Douglas

1:20 am

VolleymomDee

1:20 am

FranMag

1:21 am

VolleymomDee

1:22 am

loredana

well its usually to take the focus off something else not sure what that would be though???

1:23 am

loredana

Jilli well it wouldnt put me off Jilli have wanted to visit Canada since i was a small girl and oneday i will get there

1:23 am

VolleymomDee

1:24 am

Douglas

1:24 am

VolleymomDee

lynxxx

Jilli - I just looked at the SmartTraveller site - that warning re terrorism is pretty standard on all the 100s of countries that have been covered. Actually the warnings around NZ look worse. The Govt site just gives an overview of most countries as advice for Australian travellers

2:32 am

2:32 am

dcseain

Tanja

2:53 am

FranMag

that's a good one sprite

2:53 am

dcseain

2:53 am

crpw48

good quote sprite

2:54 am

dcseain

Pohick is a place near hear, which is haunting me in the grid - it's a native name.

2:54 am

MVA

2:54 am

dcseain

sprite, was the quote attributed?

2:54 am

sprite

I took it to heart. Helps with a lot of fears!
and yes dc... though life seldom takes us where we want to go, it definitely brings us where we need to be. (and that is a quote from my book, lol)

2:54 am

sprite

dc, it wasn't, sorry.

2:55 am

dcseain

indeed so, sprite :) and all good about the attribution.

2:56 am

3:01 am

sprite

you are making perfect sense, dc, so don't bother.

3:01 am

ChrissieDee

Sprite, the "quote" I like is "don't sweat the small stull - it's all small stuff", far less poetic than your's but equally good for putting things in perspective

3:01 am

FranMag

another good one chrissie

3:01 am

dcseain

i had grilled swiss and tomato, friend had bagel w/lox and cream cheese.

3:01 am

3:15 am

dcseain

3:15 am

3:15 am

sprite

dc... what is T3?

3:16 am

dcseain

dream sweetly, fran!

3:16 am

dcseain

Tylenol 3 - acetominiphin with codeine.

3:16 am

ChrissieDee

bye fran

3:16 am

sprite

ah, I see. Pretty bad pain!

3:18 am

dcseain

ended up with the T3, after i had an anaphylactic reaction to Toradol, an NSAID.

3:18 am

sprite

how's the back now?

3:18 am

dcseain

Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflamitory Drug.

3:18 am

sprite

and Fran... sweet or naughty dreams, your choice ;)

3:18 am

dcseain

very well sprite, i strained it horribly in 3h of agressive dish washing while camping :)

3:19 am

dcseain

so i learned some useful limits and this year, i will recruit help

3:19 am

dcseain

need to start menu-planning for that event soon.

3:19 am

lynxxx

I knew camping was bad for you!

3:19 am

sprite

GOOD, dc. Do so. Bodily limits are there for a reason, lol... I know. Am learning that too.

3:20 am

dcseain

but, lynxxx, we gather for 3 days of ice-cream making!

3:20 am

ChrissieDee

dc are you accident prone - picking up the cat and dish washing are not usually debilitating activities lol

3:20 am

ChrissieDee

must be one fat cat and hell of a lot of dishes!!

3:20 am

sprite

depends on the amount of time spent in one rush, Chrissie, lol.

3:21 am

lynxxx

nope, can't convince me, nasty stuff that camping

3:21 am

dcseain

the cat and i were in bed - he sleeps curled on my arm. One night he pushed into my wrist with his rear claws, pushitg the point with the tendiniitis into a drawer pull.

3:21 am

dcseain

dishes - 3 hours of washing things in knee-deep - at the bottom - sinks, wash, rinse, sanatize, for equipment that had been stored for 2 years, plus anything else that came back while i was doing that.

3:21 am

sprite

lol lynxxx, don't worry, nobody will force you! *hug*

3:22 am

dcseain

friend and i stayed in a hotel, and commuted to the campsite, due to her disabilities.

3:22 am

dcseain

so, days and half the night at campground, back to hotel to sleep and shower.

3:23 am

lynxxx

now that sounds good though! hotel & ice-cream

3:23 am

ChrissieDee

with you there lynxxx

3:23 am

dcseain

last year we mad 98 flavours.

3:24 am

dcseain

i invented Indian Rose - a rose ice cream with cinnamon and cardamom.

3:24 am

sprite

oh wow, dc.

3:24 am

sprite

I love the sound of that, dc. Good combination.

3:24 am

lynxxx

YUM!

3:25 am

dcseain

http://www.baitcon.org/ is the event

3:25 am

dcseain

flavour lists are there.

3:25 am

dcseain

we're putting together a new cookbook now.

3:25 am

dcseain

the tomato ice cream was fabulous- tasted like fresh tomato, based it on a recipe for grape ice cream.

3:26 am

dcseain

i'm working on perfecting teh recipe. i'll post it when i do, sprite. the spicing was good, but the texture was too hard when frozen.

3:27 am

sprite

please do, dc, I'd love to try it!

3:28 am

lynxxx

Usually don't like cooked tomato, but I used to make a tomato jelly (mould served with salad veges) so a tomato ice-cream would be equally yummy

3:29 am

sprite

mould? Now I am sure I got that wrong...

3:29 am

dcseain

lynxx, i'll get the recipe of that one for you, friend who lives by me made it.

3:29 am

dcseain

mold, sprite, british mould, in the this case to form into a shape using a mo(u)ld.

3:30 am

dcseain

like a gelatin, or an aspic, or a jelly, or a butter.

3:30 am

sprite

I must be crazy again. I am thinking of things that grow hairy in the fridge, lol.

3:30 am

dcseain

same word, sprite, 2 very different meanings.

3:30 am

sprite

that tomato jelly sounds great though, lynxxx. Very decorative.

3:31 am

lynxxx

same word Sprite. I use a lot of English spelling - as Australians usually do

3:31 am

sprite

ah, ok! Thanks dc :) Learned something new today, again.

3:31 am

dcseain

there was a tomato sorbet, also, but the ice cream was mich nicer. i lked the creamed corn ice cream and the pea ice cream also. It was easy to imagine them as a cold conterpoint to their hot counterparts.

3:32 am

ChrissieDee

popping head out of grid to say..it's not an easy one is it..no 7's or 8's yet

3:32 am

PH8 sounds like the word used to described sounds in speech, but change the 1 vowel for another

7:15 am

ph8 is like a method of writing where the words are spelled as they sound, e.g. telefone. Change 1st vowel.

inge

OK JB I am all ears

8:33 am

JBsAnno

On Tuesday, the Reverend Al Sharpton from New York City came to Philadelphia with high indignation and readiness to right a wrong, to fight injustice, and to garner more publicity for himself. He has a knack for showing up to "help"

8:33 am

Scarlet

Remember Tawana Brawley?

8:33 am

inge

always does

8:34 am

JBsAnno

Exactly, Scarlet - gold star for you!

8:36 am

JBsAnno

So His Honor, Michael Nutter, was shown in all his mayoral glory on the 11:00pm newscast politely but FIRMLY telling the good reverend - thanks for the offer, bub, but we've got it covered. Aren't there problems in New York City that you should be attending to? I'm sure they appreciate your talent there - basically go home, buddy, we ain't letting you play in our sandbox

8:36 am

JBsAnno

It was awesome!

8:37 am

weegee

JBsAnno

Then my DH (dear husband) starts chuckling....I looked at him expectantly...

8:37 am

Scarlet

That's a first... real guts in the face of the AL-storm... wow... kudos to Mayor Nutter!!

8:37 am

9:21 am

lilliann

9:21 am

Scrabbler

happy Australia Day!

9:21 am

lynxxx

9:21 am

Scrabbler

RTH--what is making you feel the worst? Respiratory sxs or just tired?

9:21 am

lilliann

9:22 am

lynxxx

9:22 am

dan2bit

9:22 am

Low grade fever Scrabbs, extreme stuffy nose and really really tired....Will Bunny be alright? It is only day 3 of Z pack...

9:23 am

lynxxx

ra6 ra + the curved roof on a cathedral etc

9:23 am

Scrabbler

Rabbits can develop a problem called gastrointestinal stasis--sort of like constipation, where they stop eating and pooping, and they can get sicker quickly and die. He did eat some pieces of greens but usually he devours his salad. He is also less active.

9:23 am

lynxxx

get better soon Red, look after yourself

9:24 am

redturtlehead

I hope your feedin him speeds his system up!!

9:24 am

Scrabbler

RTH--are you doing 500 mg/day x 3d?

9:24 am

lilliann

hope the feeding helps scrab

9:24 am

redturtlehead

I did 1000 mg the first day then 4 days of 500, on day 3...

9:25 am

Scrabbler

Big doses, RTH. Take some probiotics or eat yogurt.

9:25 am

dan2bit

ty lynxxx. get well soon, Scrabblerabbit

9:25 am

Scrabbler

Are you coughing much, RTH?

9:25 am

Scrabbler

TY all for your concern about Sebastian. He is my tiny 3 lb bundle of love.

9:26 am

redturtlehead

It was rather a big dose...Eat yogurt every day...No cough really...just feel so so tired, and all this sinus congestion...

9:26 am

Scrabbler

Do saline irrigations of your sinus spaces, with a Neti pot or sinus irrigation kit. That will help a lot.

9:26 am

redturtlehead

I really hope he gets better Scrabbs...when I worked at an emergency Vet Clinic, the Rabbits were some of the most sensitive creatures...hard to treat. He;s Lucky to have you.

9:27 am

redturtlehead

It won't wash up infection into the sinuses??

9:27 am

Uniquity

How many bunnies do you have Scrabbler? I forgot...:(
I hope that Sebastien gets well though..we need to call in Mr. Haz!
Good morning everyone!

9:27 am

lilliann

hi uni!

9:28 am

redturtlehead

Hi Uni!

9:28 am

lynxxx

Hi Uniquity

9:28 am

redturtlehead

Ooooh, icon theme is safari...I've actually done one...will upload safari image if I can find one..

9:28 am

Scrabbler

I have 4 bunnies. Sebastian is 5 and the sweetest one I have ever had. I sleep with him! Yes, I wanted to talk with Jacula or Loredana, as they have bunnies too, but I have dealt with this before and I know what I have to do for him.

9:28 am

Uniquity

Hey Lilli, Red and Lynxxx!

9:28 am

Uniquity

How is everyone feeling?

9:29 am

Scrabbler

RTH--read about Neti pots or the Neil Med sinus irrigation systems--making a resurgence in popularity.

9:29 am

Scrabbler

It just started snowing AGAIN!

9:30 am

Uniquity

Wow, 4 bunnies feels like a lot, but then again, they have a whole house to romp in, so I s'pose you could use some more! I've always wanted a bunny, but my stepbro finally got one a few years ago, and he is pretty much the killer rabbit from Monty Python. I think I am off bunnies for life :(

9:30 am

Scrabbler

I watched the Bourne Ultimatum last night--wow, great action!

9:31 am

Scrabbler

Rabbits have different personalities. Callie is quite sassy, Gandlaf has extreme anxiety, Tucker is kind of a dopey boy, and Sebastian is my lovey.

9:32 am

redturtlehead

Yay for the snow Queen, Scrabbs, thanks for your concern...Lots of docs I know like the neti pot, but I've n ot really been brave enough...if I can manage it I may go an investigate it...

9:32 am

Uniquity

I would want two, so they could keep each other company. One cuddly and one attitude...I am a cat person, and have always adored creatures that like to cuddle. (and eat cheese!)

9:33 am

Scrabbler

people swear by it, RTH, so it is something to consider--like a Roto-Rooter for your nasal and sinus spaces.

9:34 am

Scrabbler

Uni--the bunnies are separate as they are very territorial animals.

9:34 am

redturtlehead

Do your cats like to cuddle Uni? Only a few of my Moms really like that...She only has 3 lest anyone think she is a mad cat lady.

9:34 am

Scarlet

Back again. Hi, Scrabbler and Uni and all... I love my neti pot... I think it has been integral to my not getting very sick for years... but, as soon as I say that, I'll get hit with something...

9:34 am

Uniquity

Aww, that's no fun

9:35 am

Scarlet

Sorry about Sebastion, Scrabbler... I know he is your special one...

9:35 am

Scrabbler

OK, I have to go check on Sebastian upstairs and feed him by syringe. BBL Hi Scarlet! Dodge the germs!

9:35 am

redturtlehead

Dont get sick Scalret!!!! It isnt worth it.

9:35 am

Scarlet

I know, red! See you soon, Scrabbler.

9:36 am

lynxxx

by everyone, must go too

9:36 am

Uniquity

The cats currently at LoriP's are not cuddlers unfortunately (unless I am asleep, at which poiint Wanda will stand guard over me like nobodys business), but we have always had cats in pairs, and there has always been one who cuddled with me...Animals and I tend to get along quite well. At least one kitty always slept with me/foillowed me around

9:36 am

Scarlet

If we have any Australians on-line now: Happy Australia Day!

9:36 am

redturtlehead

Love you icon Scarlet...it should have been the theme for the day...

9:36 am

broll

Hi all. Just signed on and read he log. Red, as a longtime sinus sufferer, I can tell you the nasal lavage really works. I use the hottest water I can stand, and also put in 3 or 4 drops per cup of tea tree oil. Kills ALL the germs!

9:36 am

Uniquity

Take care Scrabbler and Lynxxx, and Happy Australia day!!

9:36 am

Scarlet

I know, red... I am not into safaris...

9:37 am

Scarlet

Bingo, broll!!

9:37 am

harpjane

hello

9:37 am

9:37 am

redturtlehead

I actually really enjoy Safariiing in Kenya...which I thought I would not.

9:37 am

Scarlet

Hi, harp!!

9:38 am

lilliann

hi broll and harp

9:38 am

Scarlet

A photographic safari would be amazing, red. Hi, lil!!

9:38 am

redturtlehead

So, when I am next able to actually get up, put on clothes, etc, I shall head to get the famed Neti Pot...though I am sort of hoping at that point not to need it!!!

9:38 am

lilliann

hi scar

9:38 am

redturtlehead

It ended up being more fun than I anticipated Scarlet...the hunting kind, I am not into...

9:39 am

dan2bit

9:39 am

redturtlehead

Yay Dan!!!

Once you see how easy it is to do, red, and the cleansing properties that you will enjoy, you will become a believer! Yahoo for dan2bit!!

9:39 am

Uniquity

Welcome Harp and way to go Dan!!

9:39 am

lilliann

we were hoping to go on a kenyan safari this christmas but because of the trouble at the moment they are not letting us book

9:39 am

redturtlehead

I guess you know, I've seen a few of these sinus irrigation used wrong....etc...

9:39 am

Scarlet

Uni... I am a staunch cat lady... with only one old girl now... but, I have nearly all my life, had cats.

9:40 am

lilliann

wtg dan!!

9:40 am

redturtlehead

Lilli, I am so upset about hte uproar...in Kenya, its such a wonderful country, you would really enjoy it, I think.

9:41 am

Uniquity

When I asked for a bunny at two, I was instead given my Katie...beautiful cat, best cuddler I have ever had. She was absolutely, 100% MY kitty and I adored her to bits. She lived to eleven, and only passed because my stepmother did not listen to my request that she remain an inside cat as she had her whole life. Too weak for the big world and was attacked. I have yet to get over it and still miss her very much.

9:41 am

Scarlet

OH, lil... you would be at such risk...

9:41 am

lilliann

i hope everything calms down soon, especially for the kenyans and would love to see kenya....a holiday of a lifetime!

9:41 am

redturtlehead

Oooh Uni....So so sorry.

9:42 am

Scarlet

That is an ache that you never completely overcome, Uni...

9:42 am

redturtlehead

Lilli, you have to go to Malindi...as well as Nakuru for the Flamingos...

9:42 am

lilliann

ahhh, sorry to hear that uni!

9:43 am

redturtlehead

Theres a fun train ride from Nairobi to Mombassa, I think...Have not been there in about 2 years now...

9:43 am

harpjane

safari is the theme?

9:43 am

Scarlet

Yes, harp.

9:43 am

harpjane

i could use my picture from the movie Hatari I guess!

9:43 am

Uniquity

I think it would be beautiful to go to Africa...anywhere, really.

9:44 am

Scarlet

But I went off-message to give a little celebration to our Aussie friends.

9:44 am

Haz1558

Someone mentioned flamingoes?

9:45 am

lilliann

we were going to do a beach and 3 day safari, red.... i think that will be enought ravelling for me!

9:45 am

redturtlehead

Africa is really wonderful...I want to go back to see South Africa, as well as a few other places...

9:45 am

lilliann

spelling awful today!!

9:45 am

Uniquity

flamingoes? What, is it somebody's fiftieth?

9:45 am

redturtlehead

Lilli, that is probably enough, I did a 3 day when on R and R, and that was plenty for me, but I'm not as nature focused as some...

9:46 am

lilliann

we were deciding between south africa and kenya red

9:46 am

redturtlehead

Hard choice, but I suppose SA is much mroe stable now...

9:47 am

Scarlet

Good morning, Haz!

9:47 am

Haz1558

Good morning Scarlet - just peeking in to say hello.

9:48 am

lilliann

we're going to leave it for a bit red and see what happens

9:48 am

redturtlehead

Hi Haz!

9:48 am

Scarlet

Is your icon a photograph that you and Mr. Haz took when you were visiting Africa, Haz?

9:48 am

lilliann

hi haz, love the flamingo pic!

9:48 am

Haz1558

Yes, scarlet - flamingoes at Lake Nakuru, as mentioned by redturtle.

9:49 am

Haz1558

From a distance the lake looked as though it was covered with candy floss.

9:49 am

redturtlehead

Gorgeous Haz, I had to represh as Spangle was showing her happy face!

9:49 am

Scarlet

It is a breath-taking shot, Haz... gorgeous in fact.

9:49 am

lilliann

how long were you on safari for haz?

9:50 am

Haz1558

We were on actual safari - under 'canvas' for three days. Long enough to see plenty - it's pretty tiring.

9:50 am

Uniquity

Oh my Gosh, I just saw spangle, but clicked your icon..that is breath-taking Haz

9:50 am

Scarlet

I have to ask: Did you wear a pith helmet, Haz?

9:51 am

Haz1558

We also had two nights at Lake Naivasha, staying in a lodge - we were taken to see animals from there as well.

9:51 am

o-o

I had a friend who went safari had to wire for more funds

9:51 am

Haz1558

Not quite, Scarlet. I'll show you.....

9:51 am

Scarlet

Good morning, BR-r!

9:51 am

lilliann

the one that we are thinking of is you stay at 3 different hotels whilst doing the safari

9:51 am

redturtlehead

Ooh, Haz I am jealous, I only had time for Amboselli...wet there because I like elephants lots...

9:51 am

o-o

9:52 am

lilliann

9:53 am

redturtlehead

Nice Haz!

9:53 am

Haz1558

And now husband has arrived home looking for computer..... and me sitting here and the shopping not put away yet!

9:53 am

lilliann

hi BR and judy

9:53 am

redturtlehead

Scarlet, I am unsure, but there is a preserve area right by the airport, and most times when I flew in, (to the main airport not wilson that it) I would see giraffes...

9:53 am

redturtlehead

There was a small park right outside of Nairobi you could go to...

9:53 am

Scarlet

Nice hat, Haz... straw... at least your face is covered... what a background!

9:54 am

redturtlehead

HI Haz's Hubby!!!

9:54 am

harpjane

are giraffes dangerous? i know that's proabably a silly question

9:54 am

Scarlet

Not that I have seen, harp... I love their black tongues...

9:55 am

redturtlehead

I have no real experience, I'd have to defer to Haz'shusband!

9:55 am

Haz1558

I know - it was winter time but still pretty hot during the day. (bear in mind we're not used to a lot of heat!) Anyway, better go and do the horror shopping putting away.

9:55 am

lilliann

there is a zoo in grance that you can give popcorn to giraffes and other animals

9:55 am

harpjane

I"d love to see Victoria Falls

9:55 am

Judi

For overhead shots of the African plains, play with Google Earth. Also, look at Disney's Animal Kingdom in Florida. We were able to spot giraffes and wildebeasts from satellite zoom-ins.

9:55 am

lilliann

Scarlet

See you soon, Haz, and thank you for sharing!

9:58 am

The grid is a typically miserly motley mix of phonemes

9:58 am

redturtlehead

If you do Hotels with nets you should be alright...

9:58 am

Judi

As did I Scarlet. It's right down there in the puddle, next to my Spanglish.

Bunny Sebastian ate some greens with some urging and then grabbed a carrot from his plate. I also massaged his belly and put a clean litter box right on the bed and told him to poop ASAP so Mama will feel better.

10:19 am

Uniquity

That link worked, thanks BabbleRabble. I have strong opinions on those sorts of situations, so I shan't comment but I always enjoy the info your provide in your profile.

Scarlet

It's not you, Do.

10:21 am

When bunnies get this they need to be watched closely. He did eat some greens in the last hour when I poked them under his nose. And then he grabbed a carrot off his plate and ate that. I am glad he is eating on his own. He needs to poop!

10:45 am

Dorens

10:46 am

Anniebrook

I once took my cat on a city bus in a bag and the poor thing was mewing really loud and causing such a disturbance I had to get off the bus. I never did that again

11:38 am

montreal13

This guy is a film director Ata ?

11:38 am

featherbee

11:38 am

Atalante

urf, yes, he is. I forgot that bit of his life!

11:38 am

Haz1558

Hasn't he directed some famous stuff? Obviously so famous I can't remember it.

11:38 am

Anniebrook

11:40 am

Scrabbler

11:40 am

montreal13

11:40 am

Haz1558

It's a wonder the Goths haven't adopted that for one of the perfumes Vicuna was sampling the other day.

11:41 am

Dorens

Scarlet

Or uterine cancer?

11:41 am

12:14 pm

rururocks

co 5/14 I need for my last c?

12:14 pm

bethn

is there a difference? we were under contract too,, in engineering it is called shopping. you get a contract to work for x amount of time. when time is up you can move on or extend if they still need you. it is your choice where you want to go. not a negative term, just what engineers call it :)

12:15 pm

Scarlet

Please surround me in many smelly fish... I just monkied the darned ch5/14 above the eating noise... duh!

an 6 --- add a boat/ship that moves oil

12:16 pm

montreal13

12:16 pm

redturtlehead

We dont call it shopping, I guess because to me shopping implies that someday I might buy, and stay some place...

12:16 pm

redturtlehead

But its essentially the same thing...

12:16 pm

Scarlet

Very nicely, thank you, Luc. LOL

12:16 pm

we had fun red. no kids just the cat and us. some good places some not so good, but always interesting.

12:17 pm

MLFAN17

babble is thier a ch in that?

12:17 pm

redturtlehead

I know a nurse couple that travels with their kids...homeschools, I think its too difficult actually, but no kids, makes things fun, for the most part.

12:17 pm

Atalante

what didthe cat think about moving so much?

12:18 pm

bethn

we call it spping because the agenciex that contract you are called "job shops" we did finally "buy" when i got prenant. i miss the travelling sometimes.

12:18 pm

redturtlehead

my dog gets wierd each time we move, but he is starting to get better at it...no cats!

12:19 pm

12:31 pm

Flask1

its only when she's left alone in house that she does it....does anyone know why?

12:31 pm

gwenski

MLF, it sounds like a type of snake, but change the 2nd consonant

12:31 pm

MLFAN17

babble?

12:31 pm

redturtlehead

I will tell him you said he was pretty Ata. He will like it.

12:31 pm

MLFAN17

12:32 pm

Great news! Bunny Sebastian has pooped and is acting like his perky self now! Yippee! Now I will ski in the woods, relieved about my bunny.

Yay Sebastian!!!!

12:32 pm

they are very territorial.

12:32 pm

Flask1

lmao...MLF...

12:32 pm

MLFAN17

betth you arent kidding

12:32 pm

Scrabbler

Bunnies are territorial too. Callie Bunny often pees to mark her territory.

12:32 pm

bethn

hooray scrabbler! yay for bunny poop!

12:33 pm

o-o

co 5 ---add a baby carriage: ***m

12:33 pm

Atalante

I thought he looked young. He still has a lot of time to learn calmmness then ...

12:33 pm

rururocks

pr 5/12 clue please

12:33 pm

Scrabbler

I put fresh litter boxes in his room so i could see if he pooped.

12:33 pm

MLFAN17

these co clues arent getting me anywhere lol

12:34 pm

redturtlehead

I hope he does. He is 10o% lovely but jumps on everyone, and thats a bad habit, I have tried a million things to break it....nothing works...

12:34 pm

Atalante

yay Sebastian!

12:34 pm

Scrabbler

I shall return later.

12:34 pm

redturtlehead

but otherwise, hes been good...

12:34 pm

redturtlehead

Have fun Scrabbler!

12:34 pm

MLFAN17

red my male cat loves to bed petted and wants attention

12:34 pm

Flask1

Gwenski...the an5 clue doesn't work!

12:34 pm

Atalante

i know that issue, red!

12:35 pm

o-o

pr 5 --- means before and often is followed by "to"

12:35 pm

redturtlehead

I'm hoping as he ages it will become less "fun" they say its a self rewarding behavior. always fun no matter what...

12:36 pm

MLFAN17

u just got the pr 5/12 wohooo

12:36 pm

Atalante

if lizsark comes on, you might want to talk to her about it. she has a young lab that is a nightmare in a lot of ways. She may know some different things to try!

12:36 pm

gwenski

Take the an5 (silly action) and add a consonant to make an6. (Sounds like the an5)

12:36 pm

redturtlehead

Go MLF Go!

12:37 pm

MLFAN17

now red if only i could get this darn co lol

12:37 pm

o-o

I think if people put in half as much time understanding other people as they do with their pets what a wonderful world it would be

12:37 pm

redturtlehead

that would be good. Teulu for the most part is a good boy...his other thing is that he barks incessantly at inatimate objects, but on that account he is improving...

12:37 pm

MLFAN17

babble nahh no fun

12:37 pm

Flask1

Sorry Gwenski [thought you said vowel first time] ok got it now, thanks!

12:38 pm

12:38 pm

Atalante

The same with Oscar - Liz's dog - though he *destroys* things as well

12:39 pm

12:40 pm

redturtlehead

thank goodness Ata that he is not a destroyer... he chews what I give him, but nothing else!!

12:40 pm

MLFAN17

babble...what????

12:41 pm

Shirlockc

ditto with the wha?

12:41 pm

gwenski

Don't know how, but I understood the clue, BR!

12:41 pm

sassyB

ph8 sounds like learning to spell words the way they sound with a different vowel in the middle

12:42 pm

MLFAN17

gwen you must be smarter then me lol

12:42 pm

redturtlehead

I didnt...

12:42 pm

MLFAN17

shir glad we are in same boat lol

12:42 pm

MLFAN17

12:42 pm

bethn

red, have you ever seen the dog whisperer? when i was sleeping in rec room after shoulder surgery would have thetv on at all hours because of pain. he has a wonderful way wit all kinds of behavior issues with dogs . aggression, barking jumping etc. i know he has videos. maybe your library might get them for you (if you are home long enough to reserve or request) he was amazing to watch

12:42 pm

o-o

congrats. ypsigirl

12:43 pm

gwenski

I don't think smarter is the right word. (But I'll accept that as a compliment, regardless!)

12:43 pm

MLFAN17

GOT IT WOOHOO

12:43 pm

Shirlockc

k, figured out the ph, was good clue BR, just took a while

12:43 pm

MLFAN17

12:43 pm

redturtlehead

12:43 pm

ypsigirl

12:43 pm

sassyB

yvw, MLFAN17

12:44 pm

Atalante

he sounds like my Hobbit. Just goes mad when people love her

12:44 pm

redturtlehead

Its jsut hard to have 78 pounds of wild love, yo know...

12:44 pm

MLFAN17

sassy can you clue the co6?

12:44 pm

bethn

hard to be angry with a dog that loves to loved :)

12:45 pm

LadyNatts

my gr pyrannees pup is 86 lbs of unbridled love

12:45 pm

redturtlehead

This is true...

12:45 pm

Atalante

... with a tail that hurts when whacked against you at full speed!

12:45 pm

gwenski

co6: created together

12:45 pm

MLFAN17

beth thats the way my hubby is with our cats even if my female cat is bad

12:46 pm

redturtlehead

Pyrs are supposed to make very loyal pets Lady, I'll bet your is very loyal!!!

12:46 pm

MLFAN17

ty gwen great clue as well

12:46 pm

LadyNatts

so far, so good... but he's not yet 9 mos old, so still needs a lot of training

12:46 pm

MLFAN17

gwen are any of the 7and 8 co's related to it?

12:46 pm

redturtlehead

Does he jump?

12:47 pm

sassyB

sorry MLFAN17, I was away when you asked

12:47 pm

o-o

What's E.T. short for?

12:47 pm

gwenski

Not there yet, sorry MLF. (Paying too close attention to the chat, I guess.)

12:47 pm

MLFAN17

extra terrestrial

12:47 pm

o-o

So he can fit in his space ship.

12:47 pm

LadyNatts

you mean does he knock people over by trying to stand up with his paws on them? yes

12:47 pm

MLFAN17

its okay sassy

12:47 pm

bethn

if you are an animal person god gives you an blind spot when it comes to bad behavior. i would have strung my kids up if they peed on the bed or did half of the evil things our parrot has done

12:47 pm

sassyB

no, MLF, the 7's and 8's are different

12:47 pm

gwenski

ohhh - that's baaaaad, BR

12:48 pm

redturtlehead

beth, you are making me laugh now!

12:48 pm

sassyB

do you want clues for them?

12:48 pm

MLFAN17

yes please sassy

12:48 pm

Atalante

my dog isn't big enough for that, so what she does is goes round to people's backs and tries to knock them over but jumping up at the back of their knees

12:48 pm

bethn

parrots are very humorous when they are not yours :)

12:49 pm

sassyB

co 7's - think of what metal does when it gets old, and change middle vowel

12:49 pm

sassyB

co 8's past tense of the 7's

12:49 pm

gwenski

Thanks, sassy!!

12:49 pm

redturtlehead

Your dog is precious Ata, I love the way she looks out into the chat!!!

12:49 pm

MLFAN17

sassy i got the 7/36 for that

12:50 pm

MLFAN17

adn the 8/55

12:50 pm

LadyNatts

Storm is so big (and so powerful), it's a challenge to move when he wants attention. he pushes you up against a wall and pins you there

12:50 pm

bethn

she has a plan ata, and carries it out - very sophisticated thought patterns :}

12:50 pm

Atalante

Hobbit's problem really is that she's far too clever for her own good! I always wonder how she realised people tend to stagger if she gets them at the back of their knees!

12:51 pm

MLFAN17

sassy theirs another co 7 right?

12:51 pm

redturtlehead

Dogs....have plans, that they never reveal...

12:51 pm

sassyB

did you get the other set - also 7/36 and 8/55?

12:51 pm

MLFAN17

i have one co 6

12:51 pm

Atalante

she does, beth! its quite amazing. then its equally amazing when you throw her a titbit and she doesn't even notice so it bounces off her nose. so clever ... so dumb ...

12:51 pm

bethn

they are always thinking behind thier smiling faces

12:51 pm

MLFAN17

sassy 7 and 8 co no

12:52 pm

o-o

then dogs would feel right at home running for office

12:52 pm

bethn

12:52 pm

sassyB

12:54 pm

The strangest thing just happened: a huge bluejay just flew dead, smack-on into the kitchen window (it didn't break, but it made a big noise) and I ran outside to see if he was all right... I touched his neck to see if he had any pulse and he righted himself in one leap, looked at me, and took a few steps... wobbled for a bit, then flew off...very odd.

1:00 pm

MLFAN17

ruru is that a 5/16?

6:08 pm

Krista

6:08 pm

Krista

6:09 pm

mamabear

I think I saw Hook, but don't remember a name from there

6:11 pm

Minveryork

You are very welcome. Just remember name of movie

6:11 pm

Atalante

you should definitely have some once, krista!

6:11 pm

mamabear

I didn't see the movie either, unfortunately.... now I have a very severe mental block built against this word

6:11 pm

Minveryork

I'm a movie buff, so most of my clues relate to movies

6:11 pm

Krista

What do u do with it, Herin?

6:12 pm

featherbee

ok, he's settled again

6:12 pm

featherbee

how is the grid?

6:12 pm

Minveryork

Does anyone have a clue for the po 6/27 word please

6:12 pm

featherbee

ewww ok

6:12 pm

Scrabbler

It is a monster, Featherbee!

6:12 pm

mamabear

if Krista gets some, she has to share!!!

6:12 pm

Minveryork

It is a tough one. I have been off and on all day today

6:12 pm

featherbee

getting out 10 foot pole

6:12 pm

Scrabbler

po6/27 = hair stuff

6:12 pm

herinfernallady

Wormwood? I used to smoke it now i use it to cleanse the house mixed with other stuff.

6:13 pm

Krista

First time I heard of it was when I saw Dracula with my boyfriend, and he said that's what they were drinking in the scene where Gary and Winona first meet

6:13 pm

mamabear

po + I **** it all by myself!!!

6:13 pm

Scrabbler

Mama--m + 2 vowels + hook + vowel

6:13 pm

Krista

Ata's bringing us some on her next stateside visit, Mama.

6:13 pm

Atalante

6:13 pm

mamabear

thanks scrab!

6:14 pm

herinfernallady

Ata i think the word your looking for is STUPID. Its ok

6:14 pm

mamabear

I swear I tried every combination possible on that one

6:14 pm

herinfernallady

I was stupid and ill admit

6:14 pm

Minveryork

Thank you for the po6/27 clue. I just found the word

6:14 pm

Scrabbler

Mama, Hazel would not approve that type of simplistic clue, but I know you were desperate.

6:14 pm

Atalante

LOL, I wasn't going to say that! honest LOL

6:14 pm

herinfernallady

Its ok i don't mind

6:15 pm

Scrabbler

I watched the Bourne Ultimatum last night--action thriller! Tonight I am going to watch Freedom Writers. At least when I find my last 25 words.

6:15 pm

Atalante

didn't it just taste horrid?

6:15 pm

mamabear

heck with hazel... desperate times deserve desperate measures

6:15 pm

herinfernallady

Nod

6:15 pm

herinfernallady

No it doesn't Ata

6:15 pm

Atalante

really>? interesting!

6:16 pm

herinfernallady

Don't do it it leads to interesting head messups

6:16 pm

mamabear

ok how about the co 7 and 8 right after what goes in the top of a wine bottle?

6:16 pm

Krista

Is it a pagan thing, or just a, uh, stupid thing, Herin?

6:17 pm

Haz1558

Taking note - heck with hazel....

6:17 pm

LadyNatts

LOL

6:17 pm

Scrabbler

My skiing friend didn't end up going out of town, so i will have a skiing buddy in the woods tomorrow. Today I was alone, except there were many people on the trails.

6:17 pm

jillibus

If nobody needs clues, I'll do something else for a while...

6:17 pm

mamabear

oops.... hi Haz...... *blushing*

6:17 pm

Minveryork

co 7/36 means to deteriorate or to impair mamabear

6:17 pm

Krista

Freedom Writers...will have to look that up

6:17 pm

herinfernallady

Krista the burning in the house is my pagan thing. The smoking was stupid and was for a cheap buzz

6:17 pm

Scrabbler

Haha, Hazel! Is your computer programmed to alert you when your name is mentioned?

6:17 pm

jillibus

hi haz

6:17 pm

herinfernallady

Hi Haz

6:18 pm

mamabear

no offense intended, Haz.... please forgive the humble bear

6:18 pm

Haz1558

I'll leave you to your blushes, mama - glad you're okayish after your accident.

6:18 pm

Atalante

Hazel :D

6:18 pm

LadyNatts

later, jilli

6:18 pm

Haz1558

No, just happened to be passing - going again - BYE!

6:18 pm

Krista

I'll have to ask my wiccan friends if they do that. Interesting.

6:18 pm

Minveryork

co 8/55 is past tense of the co 7/36 word mamabear.

6:18 pm

mamabear

thanks, haz....... {{{{haz}}}}}

6:18 pm

Scrabbler

Mamabear--what accident were you involved with?

6:19 pm

mamabear

I was in a car accident on Jan 15th. scrab

6:19 pm

Scrabbler

Oh, dear, Mamabear--are you OK? Obviously you are alive.

6:19 pm

LadyNatts

the first co7/36 co8/55 combo is just like the second, only with a different vowel.

6:19 pm

Krista

Mama, so sorry!!

6:19 pm

mamabear

isn't that the last co 7 and 8 combo?

6:19 pm

featherbee

hey ata, wait'll you see what i just did a bingo with! i totally didn't think it would be accepted

6:19 pm

LadyNatts

oh my, mama!

6:19 pm

inge

Hi Babblers, I see you are ok MAmabear, how is the car?

6:20 pm

Scrabbler

Guten Abend, Freundin Inge!

6:20 pm

Krista

It's not gaydars, is it, Feather? (one of Ata's words)

6:20 pm

mamabear

the insurance company has deemed my car totaled.....

6:20 pm

herinfernallady

MAMMA Bear are you ok? hugs

6:20 pm

Mom

Mom

6:21 pm

mamabear

6:21 pm

inge

Then it was a pretty damaging event, mambear

6:21 pm

Atalante

oh wow!!!

6:21 pm

Krista

Hey Mom....Inge, your sunny icon is warm to look at.

6:21 pm

Scrabbler

I don't want the snow to melt yet, Inge--this is cross-country ski season and today was just perfect out on the trails.

6:21 pm

mamabear

I wonder if I can post pics on my profile.... let me see

6:22 pm

Scrabbler

Mamabear--you are SO lucky!

6:22 pm

inge

Only because I am too lazy to follow the icon themes

6:22 pm

Mom

{{Krista}} hello

6:22 pm

herinfernallady

Krista mixed wormwood and sandlewood i used for my contact with the departed spells. There is a lot of stuff i do on my own that is hard to explain. None of the stuff i do is black magic and anything i do i never do that will bite me in the arse. Only once did i blood curse someone and that was not nice and im glad it bit me back

6:22 pm

Krista

Me too. I"ll probably have Horus as my icon for weeks. I like your icon.

6:23 pm

Scrabbler

herin--did you graduate from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft & Wizardry?

6:23 pm

featherbee

it was "unrotten"

6:23 pm

Krista

I love the smell of sandlewood. Yes, use your powers for good, missy. I meant to ask you..how is the diet going?

6:23 pm

inge

Herin, did you meet Harry Potter at school???

6:23 pm

LadyNatts

mamabear, did you get my co clue?

6:23 pm

herinfernallady

Scrabbler seriously i find that kinda cute but insulting. I have been a pagan wiccan witch for about 15 years

6:23 pm

Atalante

why do you think she got a cat? ;)

6:23 pm

Atalante

it was fab, feather!!

6:24 pm

Krista

**wonders if Babble allows unrotten**

6:24 pm

herinfernallady

Krista fantastic on the diet frount

6:24 pm

featherbee

an it harm none, do what ye will

6:24 pm

inge

sorry, herin, did not mean to offend

6:24 pm

herinfernallady

Hey my cat is white so maybe she could be a bleached witches cat. pounders

6:24 pm

Minveryork

I love following the thems & I love to see those icons of babblers who also follow the themes.Friday's is my favorite theme, but not many participate in themes.

6:24 pm

Scrabbler

No insult meant, herin---I am fascinated.

6:25 pm

LadyNatts

my 2 cats are black... what does that say?

6:25 pm

Atalante

I thought Pagan and Wiccan were different paths to tread ....

6:25 pm

herinfernallady

No offense taken. THat is why i do talk about it.

6:25 pm

Scrabbler

And I am a huge Harry Potter fan with fantasies of attending Hogwarts.

6:25 pm

Krista

I'm not sure why I got out of it, Min, because I like it too. Probably afraid I'll miss something on the chog. ;) What is today's theme?

6:26 pm

herinfernallady

Feather i used the Dig Macro on my camera for my icon that is the result. I am lucky i have a patient cat.

6:26 pm

inge

they dont admit anyone over age 18 Scrabbler

6:26 pm

Krista

Did u see Ace of Cakes Thurs? They did a cake for H Potter premiere. It was awesome.

6:26 pm

featherbee

oh wow, that's awesome herin! i needed to refresh

6:26 pm

Minveryork

Today's them is Safari, hence the giraffe icon Krista.

6:26 pm

featherbee

and herin, did you see my 6:24 comment?

6:26 pm

LadyNatts

and my lion too :D

6:26 pm

Krista

I thought Wicca is a form of paganism, Ata.

6:27 pm

Minveryork

Today's theme is Safari, hence the giraffe icon Krista

6:27 pm

Scrabbler

But Inge, I will fake my birthdate! I want to live in Gryffindor and play Quidditch, and be a Hogwarts student so bad!!!!!!!

6:27 pm

herinfernallady

That is Right on both counts. I am a little brain dead this am.

6:27 pm

herinfernallady

Yes i did Feather

6:28 pm

Atalante

its a specific path within the bounds of paganism, however they aren't the same thing. Wicca is a much more precise form of living than "paganism".

6:28 pm

herinfernallady

Feather i have more stuff at flicka. The pics labled titled Dig Macro are of that setting

6:28 pm

herinfernallady

Thank you Ata i seem to have lost my power of thinking and speech this fine morning

6:29 pm

inge

what about all those poor sick kiddies?

6:29 pm

Krista

ok, here's a pith helmet (first thing that came to mind for safari)

6:29 pm

featherbee

grrr, can't get into your flickr

6:29 pm

Scrabbler

I need a new career, Inge--I am getting burn-out.

6:30 pm

featherbee

argh! daniel skipped his nap today and is being especially annoying right now. will have to bbl.

6:30 pm

Atalante

good luck feather

6:30 pm

Scrabbler

Cranky Boy Daniel---you get to bed now!

6:30 pm

featherbee

he's on the verge of giving them up, but i don't like how he acts when he skips one

6:30 pm

Mom

bye bye Feather

6:31 pm

Krista

i must have missed something, Ata..chog going fast..did someone say it's the same thing?

6:31 pm

mamabear

I can't remember how to put new pics on flickr

6:31 pm

featherbee

*cranky mamabee poof*

6:31 pm

herinfernallady

Feather it worked for me.

6:31 pm

LadyNatts

I spent a lot of time researching for tomorrow's icon theme. It gave me nightmares last night, actually.

6:31 pm

herinfernallady

Mama use a yahoo mail account

6:31 pm

herinfernallady

Natts that is true.

6:32 pm

herinfernallady

Ok later gators i have to bounce off to a shower and go across the road and do shoping

6:32 pm

mamabear

I have pictures on there I just can't remember how to get to it

6:32 pm

inge

I put babblers icon and bag into my friends, list, so I can call it up for icon themes

6:32 pm

mamabear

I got the co 7/8 clue, Lady... thanks

6:32 pm

Scrabbler

Is ec5 related to the ec4 beofre it?

6:32 pm

Krista

Natts, I can't handle that stuff.

6:33 pm

Scrabbler

NM, it is.

6:33 pm

LadyNatts

have a great day, herin

6:33 pm

LadyNatts

blessed be

6:33 pm

Minveryork

I also clued co 7/8 for you mambear. Glad you got it!

6:33 pm

Atalante

not really, krista. I was just intrigued as to how Herin called herself a Paganist Wiccan Witch

6:33 pm

Krista

NVM, Ata, I see what you meant now.

6:33 pm

LadyNatts

oh good mama, it was quite a while ago, and lots of chat followed, so I wasn't sure

6:33 pm

Krista

Bye Herin.

6:34 pm

Scrabbler

13 to go and I haven't looked at the CO words yet.

6:34 pm

mamabear

thanks min!

6:34 pm

inge

and tomorrow's theme is Holocaust memorial day

6:34 pm

Krista

Kind of redundant, to me.

6:34 pm

LadyNatts

that's what I meant, inge... it gave me nightmares last night, as I picked my icon

6:34 pm

Krista

Like saying you are a Christian Methodist Churchgoer

6:35 pm

Atalante

yes exactly :P

6:35 pm

Scrabbler

On to the CO's--9 to go. This grid has been endless, it seems.

6:35 pm

Atalante

I was just wondering which was the important one

6:35 pm

Minveryork

I think the icon themes are often redundant. We've had safari before & dice a couple of time before too.

6:36 pm

inge

first co is a repeat section of a music song

6:36 pm

Minveryork

Feet is another icon theme that has been redundant.

6:36 pm

LadyNatts

I've thought of suggesting an icon topic, but I'm relatively new and don't know what's been done before

6:36 pm

inge

Well some icons should be held over for a few days, since thre are so many possible pictures

6:36 pm

Krista

Let do a redundant icon theme theme!

6:37 pm

Atalante

lol! :D

6:37 pm

LadyNatts

LOL Krista

6:37 pm

Minveryork

I have also thought about suggesting a theme, but it eventually becomes a theme, like pictures of yourself

6:37 pm

mamabear

why can't I get this to work......

6:38 pm

inge

Well, in Feb. we will do state flowers, state birds, state nicknames etc. I asked for it. Babblers not living in US states can do teh same for their coutry or province.

6:38 pm

LadyNatts

so you telepathically suggest themes then, min?

6:38 pm

Krista

Need to go. Thanks for the clues and the chat.

6:38 pm

Scrabbler

"corrite" seems like a real word, doesn't it? NOT!

6:38 pm

Krista

Will catch up on Scrabulous games tomorrow (if it's still there).

6:38 pm

Scrabbler

Bye krista

6:38 pm

Mom

bye Krista see you tomorrow

6:38 pm

Scrabbler

Good, Krista.

6:39 pm

Atalante

am I being stupid not seeing the i word?

6:39 pm

Scrabbler

No, you are not stupid, Ata, it is right there.

6:39 pm

inge

there are two co 7 words meaning to turn to rust, ony the penultimate vowel is different, then make them past tense

6:39 pm

Krista

Niters!

6:39 pm

LadyNatts

ata, you could get IR*** ... but it's a different consonant

6:39 pm

Jayde287

Hey all- 2 words left

6:39 pm

Scrabbler

It sounds similar to an IR word meaning angry.

6:40 pm

stidmama

she's not stupid? *mental image of Atalante falls apart* ;-)

6:40 pm

stidmama

6:40 pm

6:44 pm

LadyNatts

not easy to clue, aknitter... but if you take the an and add the first three letters of your ID (anagrammed) and then add the second vowel, you'll get it

6:45 pm

inge

*cover, I meant

6:45 pm

mamabear

I am doing ok.... still in much pain and tired from and of meds... but little by little

jillibus

sounds yum, jac. I'm on a preprandial red wine

8:28 pm

jillibus

hi jellen and all

8:28 pm

Jacula

8:28 pm

pam

Kazozz

8:29 pm

Jellen

ir sounds like really angry

8:29 pm

jillibus

ir -- like angry with a diff last cons

8:30 pm

Jacula

bb - ir is erosion of rock by water if I remember rightly.

8:30 pm

Tanja

10 left and i have half an hour before i have to go out - should be achievable

8:31 pm

Jacula

Oops! No, it isn't. Just looked it up. It's a Muslim ruler's decree, apparently.

8:31 pm

jillibus

na5/12 rhymes with terpsichore

8:31 pm

Jellen

na5 = rhymes with da*** (move rhythmically to music)

8:32 pm

Jacula

LOL, erosion of rock by water was the first co7/36.

8:32 pm

Jellen

Go, Tanja!

8:32 pm

bbnaz

8:34 pm

bbnaz

8:34 pm

Jacula

Try this, bb - Irish terrorist organisation + first two letters of letter greeting. **ar bb, I hope you are well. etc. Love from....

8:34 pm

jillibus

there there bb

8:35 pm

bbnaz

must be the new coif which has me feeling flirty and foolish......

8:35 pm

Jacula

Oh drat! The cat's just gone right under my desk to the back, which is up against a wall. If he doesn't co4 out of his own volition it's going to be a devil to get him out of there.

8:35 pm

jillibus

what's the new coif like, bb?

8:35 pm

Kazozz

thx for the na help :)

8:35 pm

bbnaz

a longer version of a clara bow

8:36 pm

jillibus

8:36 pm

Jacula

What the heck's a clara bow? *goes off to Google it*

8:36 pm

jillibus

8:36 pm

Jacula

Oh, a bob! LOL

8:36 pm

jillibus

and bee-kissed lips?

8:37 pm

Jellen

I loved her hair in the It Girl

8:37 pm

Jacula

LOL, jilli. Have you seen those machines they used to do perms with in 'the old days'?

8:38 pm

Tanja

ch7 44 please

8:38 pm

Douglas

Babble ate my cluing of ch5, with a verse from Mull of Kintyre...waah!

8:39 pm

jillibus

jac, have I SEEN them??? I've been a VICTIM!

8:39 pm

Minveryork

The ch 7/44 word is a kind of cheese Tanja.

8:39 pm

Jacula

Tanja - a type of cheese you might Gorge yourself with.

8:39 pm

Jellen

ch7= is a type of yellow cheese, sharp or mild

8:40 pm

jillibus

you know, I'm no good at finding big words, but I got that cheese one all by myself before anyone else did!!!

8:40 pm

Jacula

jilli - I had a feeling you might say that about the permanent wave machine, that's why I put 'the old days' in inverted commas. LOL

8:40 pm

bbnaz

nope, no marcel waves, but i did put color in my hair for the first time in maybe 20+ years........

8:40 pm

pam

or aged and extra sharp... yummmmmm

8:40 pm

Jacula

pam - That's my ex Ma-in-Law, not a cheese!

8:40 pm

pam

LOLOLOL, jac

8:41 pm

jillibus

jac, the result was ghastly -- all frizz

8:41 pm

jillibus

aged and extra sharp -- I'd like to be that

8:41 pm

Jacula

I can imagine, jilli. What was it like being hooke up to the thing, though? And did your hair go brittle and break off afterwards?

8:42 pm

Jacula

jilli - I was thinking of extra sharp as 'bitchy and pernickety' rather than 'bright as a button'.

8:42 pm

Tanja

yum - had the short version lol pk last one ch5 16

8:42 pm

jillibus

no worse than sitting under a dryer with a book to read, jac. And no, the frizz just grew out. I was all of 13.

8:43 pm

Jacula

Tanja - ch5/16 is the short word for cancer treatment.

8:43 pm

Tanja

oh of course - should have picked that up arlier

8:43 pm

Tanja

thank you all - fire works

8:44 pm

jillibus

jac -- interesting diff between US and UK -- US says perSnickety

8:44 pm

Jacula

LOL, jilli, I've shoved many clients under the driers with a magazine... and then forgotten them. (I used to work in a salon many, many moons ago.)

8:44 pm

Jellen

Yay for Tanja!!!

8:44 pm

Jacula

Well done, Tanja.

8:44 pm

jillibus

YAY Tanja!!!

8:44 pm

bbnaz

HUZZAH Tanja!

8:45 pm

Jacula

jilli - the word makes sense either way; sounds like what it means.

8:45 pm

Minveryork

Congratulations Tanja on your fireworks!Good for U!

8:45 pm

jillibus

lovely fussy word, eh jac?

8:45 pm

Tanja

ty all - tis a nice feeling on a small puzzle - i tend to get frustrated if i dont get it now on anything less than a 150 words

8:46 pm

Jacula

Another word, a grid word, that sounds like what it means is ch5/18 - get your gnashers into a chunk of food.

8:46 pm

jillibus

BTW, hi min!

8:46 pm

jillibus

Min -- how are you liking your new house?

8:52 pm

KatieMcG

I've got the co 8 meaning rust and the an 8 but could do with clues for the other please

8:52 pm

Jellen

na4 is the next word anagrammed

8:52 pm

Jacula

katie - ph8 is like the way of spelling things how they sound but change the first vowel.

8:52 pm

bbnaz

fran

8:52 pm

jillibus

the other what, katie?

8:52 pm

bbnaz

fran's duck is here

8:53 pm

KatieMcG

Thanks Jac :-)

8:53 pm

jillibus

and the volcano

8:53 pm

Jacula

co8 (1st) is like the 2nd but change the 2nd vowel.

8:53 pm

Jellen

co7/8 is the same as the one meaning rust; just change one vowel.

8:53 pm

KatieMcG

Sorry Jill I am looking for the other 8s I only need a co8 now

8:53 pm

herinfernallady

Bb thats a goose not a duck. But still bird like

8:54 pm

Jacula

co8 (either) is past tense, katie.

8:54 pm

KatieMcG

Thank you got it now :-)

8:54 pm

jillibus

jac jumped to it, katie

8:54 pm

Minveryork

I am a teacher jillibus, so I should be done with work at 3:15,but I teach an after school program 3 days a week. When I don't teach after school I can be home @ 4:30.I often have errands to do so I get home late anyway.Since the move, I often get to babble until 9 or 10 at night. Sometimes I do not get to it at all! :=(

8:54 pm

bbnaz

duck goose they are all swimming chickens to me!

8:54 pm

KatieMcG

Cats have been fighting all day, now getting out of hand. I feel like a nagging mother!!

8:54 pm

herinfernallady

Second that bb

8:55 pm

Jacula

LOL, bb. The taste entirely different.

8:55 pm

jillibus

Where are you teaching, min?

8:55 pm

Jacula

Speaking of cats, mine's now emerged from under my desk, thank Gawd!

8:55 pm

Minveryork

I still teach in Yonkers, which is where I used to live.

8:55 pm

bbnaz

have you ever noticed how folks will tell you something "tastes just like chicken, just like chicken"........well if I had wanted chicken I would have ordered chicken.

8:55 pm

jillibus

jac, I though s/he might eventually

8:56 pm

Jacula

He's now sitting on the doormat behind the front door... which means, if I've not put him to bed by the time my daughter arrives ho4, she'll brain him when she opens it!:(

8:56 pm

jillibus

oh yes, Min, that's qite a commute as you know I know!

8:57 pm

bbnaz

woot -- no more 7s!

8:57 pm

bbnaz

or 8s for that matter

8:57 pm

jillibus

wtg bb

8:58 pm

Jacula

jilli - cat's a he (well a neutered 'he!). My she cat died last year.

8:58 pm

KatieMcG

Lol jac, I did feel for your earlier. Fuggles cornered Crumble in a gap the other day when he was out in his ball (brave cat is my crumble!!) and I didn't realise they couldn't go backwards easily. I rescued her when I realised.

8:58 pm

herinfernallady

Jac what about a water pistol

8:59 pm

KatieMcG

herin, putting him to bed is probably easier than upsetting him

8:59 pm

jillibus

ach, jac. My old girl (going on 19) is fading but still eating...

8:59 pm

Douglas

When I see co7, I have a picture of Squidward reading Boring Science Digest and chuckling to himself..."Heh...erosion"

8:59 pm

Jacula

Cats hate going backwards as (a) they can't see what they're backing into (they also need their whiskers' width to gauge gaps) and (b) their claws aren't really meant for reversing.

9:00 pm

herinfernallady

No the kitty under the bench when they cant be reached

9:00 pm

jillibus

brb

9:00 pm

KatieMcG

Oh jill that's lovely. My cat, Tuppy, lasted to 18. It's lovely to have them so long, I only hope I am so lucky with my three

9:00 pm

herinfernallady

Were as my kitty loves water

9:01 pm

Jacula

Herin - I don't need to use a water pistol on him (I only use that when he's after nests in spring). He's out from under the desk. I'll pick him up (and he'll lie in my arms with his legs in the air) after the tumble dryer's finished it's cycle. If I put him to bed in that room before than, he'll puke or worse, or both.

9:02 pm

KatieMcG

The first time it rained Rhubarb kept leaping in and out of the cat flap as to her horror water kept falling from the sky. Cute at first, annoying after the first two hours!!

9:02 pm

Jacula

Eek! its cycle. Sorry about the greengrocers' apostrophe.

9:03 pm

pam

lol, jac. i came back to the grid at a "fun" time, LOL

9:04 pm

jillibus

I did notice it, jac -- LOL!

9:04 pm

Jellen

9:06 pm

Minveryork

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

9:06 pm

Jacula

I remember my 'half cat' (Smokey, who officially lived next-door - not with the horrible neighbours we now have - but adopted us, too.) She's burst into the bathroom when I was in the bath and sit on the shelf that used to be at the back of it (before I lost that to make more room for a 2nd bathroom). She'd look down at me in horror, pat my bare shoulder with a concerned paw and miaow, 'Co4 out of there! Nasty water! What are you doing?'

9:06 pm

bbnaz

woohoo

9:06 pm

Minveryork

Hi egbokmom!How are you doing?Welcome to the grid

herinfernallady

Hi Eg and sorry if i missed anyone

9:07 pm

Jacula

Hi, Eva. No. If I shut him in the room where he sleeps, which is where the laundry gets done and the washing machine or tumble dryer are working, the noise and heat upsets him.

9:07 pm

Eva

thanks minver...started this morning, but am stuck with 34 left and my eyes drooping. Merp is in the basement looking for things to kill.

9:07 pm

Minveryork

jillibus

9:08 pm

KatieMcG

Crumble has fallen in the bath as she loves running water and was walking round it when it poured, thank God I wasn't in it! Tuppy used to fall in it when I was in regularly when I was growing up, I surprised I have no scars

9:08 pm

bbnaz

rockets! now off to cook dinner. thanks to everyone who once again help to make me look brilliant finishing the grid

9:08 pm

herinfernallady

Jill i couldn't see a dog that big being scared

9:08 pm

Eva

He left us a shrew the other day. Doesn't like the taste of them. I thought of putting it out for the barred owl who's been hanging around looking really hungry, but didn't know whether owls will eat food that's already dead?

9:08 pm

herinfernallady

Yah Bb

9:09 pm

Jacula

jilli - our old dog (sheltie x jack russell) used to be like that when we went into the sea.

9:09 pm

herinfernallady

Eva maybe if the owl is hungry it might

9:09 pm

jillibus

He wasn't scared, he was worried -- brow all wrinkled, pleading noises

9:09 pm

9:25 pm

Kazozz

9:25 pm

KatieMcG

Congrats Kaz & good night

9:26 pm

Jacula

Speaking of which, is there any more concrete evidence about Heath Ledger's demise, herin?

9:26 pm

herinfernallady

9:26 pm

TexasAngel

wow ty herin

9:26 pm

Minveryork

Congratulations Kazozz on your fireworks!Way to go

9:26 pm

Jacula

'gat' cowboy? Meant 'gay' cowboy.

9:27 pm

Minveryork

Hello TexasAngel! How are you? Welcome to the grid!

9:27 pm

herinfernallady

I did that and Jac she seems like a dick.

9:27 pm

Jacula

(I was thinking of Brokeback Mountain, re Heath Ledger.)

9:27 pm

robwhy

where are you Texas? I'm in Austin

9:27 pm

Minveryork

Goodbye Kazozz! I will see you tomorrow in the chat!

9:28 pm

Minveryork

Hello robwhy!How are you doing?Welcome to the grid

9:28 pm

9:28 pm

Tyler

9:28 pm

robwhy

Aha, east Texas. How nice

9:28 pm

herinfernallady

It seems that the evidence is still not complete on Heath Ledger. They did find a variety of perscription pills so it could have been a complete mistake. He was a method actor so thus for Dark night he really did sleep for 2 hours a night and became slightly nuts for that role

9:28 pm

Jacula

I've been reading a bit about Heath Ledger's background. What were their parents thinking of (other than Wuthering Heights) naming a brother and sister Heathcliffe and Cathy?? Doomed from the start! Lord!

9:28 pm

Douglas

In the movie Yellow Submarine, one of the Beatles said "To the skirmish shall we he5?" and another Beatle said "I think we should stop sitting on the he5"

9:29 pm

TexasAngel

well it's a bit cold right now lol

9:29 pm

herinfernallady

Jac i know of people that have named their kids strange names. I do like Heath though

9:29 pm

Minveryork

Goodbye katieW! I will see you tomorrow in the chat!

9:30 pm

Jacula

I liked Heath, too, Herin. Frist saw him in Neighbours and then the film 'A Knight's Tale'.

9:31 pm

herinfernallady

It would have been Home and Away i think Jac

9:31 pm

Jacula

Mind you, what I I say about people naming their kids after other people? I named my son after a rock star who died through crashing into a tree and my daughter after a lovely lady who's still going strong but wrote all her best stuff when depressed.

9:31 pm

Jacula

Was it, Herin? Well I knew it was one of the Aussie soaps. LOL.

9:32 pm

herinfernallady

Yep

9:33 pm

Scrabbler

Hey all. Jacula--Bunny Sebastian had a brief episode of GI stasis today that had me on edge.

9:34 pm

Jacula

Back in the 80s in Neighbours, Madge had a brother called Max. He had black, curly hair and wore denim dungarees and always seemed to be yelling. I'd sat and watched that soap for my 'middle of the day rest' during my 1983/4 pregnancy an, when my son was born, he already danced along to the theme tune. One day, after Max went out of the show, he asked me, 'Mummy. Where's The Shouting Man gone?' He liked Max!

9:34 pm

herinfernallady

So Jac is this the woman that gave her children milk and cookies and then gassed herself?

9:34 pm

Scrabbler

I am not sure what set him off(hairballs are thought secondary to the stasis, not the cause) but I massaged his belly, made him eat greens, and told him he had to poop.

9:37 pm

Minveryork

Hi carleekat!How are you doing? Welcome to the grid

9:37 pm

Scrabbler

It wasn't easy, Minveryork---it took lots of work to tease the words out of the grid.

9:37 pm

Minveryork

Hello DR1965!How are you doing?Welcome to the grid

9:37 pm

Scrabbler

Why, carlee?

9:37 pm

Hi again.

9:37 pm

DR1965

Hi Herin.. Hi Min

9:37 pm

Scrabbler

Why, carlee?

9:37 pm

Jacula

Scrabbs - I had a very old guinea pig who got impacted. I used to have to literally turn his anus inside out to evacuate the mass. The reason for his problem was arthritis.

9:37 pm

herinfernallady

What is wrong Carlee

9:38 pm

Jacula

What's up, carlee?

9:38 pm

Minveryork

I agree Scrabbler, this grid is hard! I got 2 words left

9:38 pm

carleekat

my daughter and I have been watching the WHOLE series of gilmore girls... we JUST finished... we spent the last episode balling oour eyes out curled up together on sofa..and I am still all...sappy :(

9:38 pm

Scrabbler

Sebastian refuses to eat hay, but I give him extra amounts of greens.

9:39 pm

Scrabbler

Carlee, I never watched that show.

9:39 pm

Scrabbler

Need clues, Minveryork?

9:39 pm

gdine

any help for the ph8?

9:39 pm

herinfernallady

Oh no more Gilmore Girls?

9:39 pm

Jellen

Awww, carlee. I know what you mean.

9:39 pm

carleekat

its a really good mother daughter show

9:39 pm

Jacula

Flossie's stopped eating hay now, too, Scrabbs. Earlier, I found he'd made a nice nest of it all around his dry food bowl.

9:39 pm

egbokmom

one of my bichons stole a serving of string beans and got diarhea last week

9:39 pm

carleekat

we finished it..all 7 seasons in 5 weeks

9:40 pm

Jacula

Do you think, Scrabbs, that just like old humans, old rabbits don't like to chew too much?

9:40 pm

DR1965

I LOVE GIlmore Girls {{{HUGS}}

9:40 pm

Scrabbler

9:41 pm

Minveryork

Hello gdine! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid!

9:41 pm

Douglas

Just found the thingy that's almost a tirade...maybe it's just a mild complaint...

9:41 pm

herinfernallady

They say there is more episodes carlee

9:41 pm

Scrabbler

Sebastian has refused to eat hay since he was a little guy, and he is 5 now. He is now back to himself, but I was quite anxious for several hrs.

9:42 pm

carleekat

I guess is just a whole mixture of everything in our lives..this was a special time she and I spent following all the crap with hubby...

9:42 pm

carleekat

no..the show finished last year...

9:42 pm

gdine

I suppose you've all got the po6/27 and past tense? po + 'manufacture/create'? It's a hair polish from way back, think Goergian times.

10:04 pm

Or even Georgian times.

herinfernallady

Grin thanks. Thats my kitty being cute

10:10 pm

Jacula

DR - the thing with kids is that they interpret the words they encounter within their own experience and they also think more literally/laterally(?) than adults. This results in things like my step-daughter asking me if I want her to get me semi-skilled milk from the shop.

10:11 pm

DR1965

I Love that Jac!... The one that gets me is crowns instead of crayons

10:11 pm

Oh, we have those accental differences here, too. A bus (used to be 'bus, due to being called autobus originally) is a buss in Birmingham by the university and a 'buzz' further out among the 'plebs'. LOL

10:57 pm

I loved the library when I had no internet and I could go there to Babble. However, one library kicked me out since games were not allowed to be played there.

10:57 pm

10:57 pm

10:58 pm

Minveryork

Somebody at my job asked me that question at lunch.

10:58 pm

Minveryork

I think there is a TMZ television show and a web site.

10:59 pm

jillibus

some time ago our library didn't allow games or email because we only had a couple of terminals and it was felt they should be used for research. This no longer applies. In the kids' secton there is a terminal devoted to games (no internet there though)

11:00 pm

herinfernallady

Red http://wwitv.com/

11:00 pm

Minveryork

If games are not allowed at the library I was at,then they should block the website like they do at my job.

11:00 pm

herinfernallady

Just google telly online

11:02 pm

jillibus

that looks like a fabulous site, herin!
