GroovyKiwi

12:41 am

Andree

no its used as a noun to describe a twit

12:41 am

herinfernallady

YEs ANk it is being a right tosser, toss pot, toss is pretty much the same thing as calling someone a wanker

12:41 am

Andree

or what herin said

12:42 am

Ankhorite

meaning that they are, um, over-involved in self-stimulation?

12:42 am

dcseain

i just found that myself, jilli :)

12:43 am

Andree

no we also use wanker[ pardon] to describe an idiot

12:43 am

herinfernallady

no meaning that the person isn't quite a complet richard head but is really annoying

12:43 am

herinfernallady

Yes Jill it is sorry

12:43 am

Ankhorite

Thanks, Seain... I thought a wanker = tosser = masturbator? but no?

12:43 am

herinfernallady

12:43 am

ANdree I have english parents i speak good Queens English. I say castle instead of Kasle

12:45 am

jillibus

herin, do they call you a pommy?

12:45 am

dcseain

the T is pronounced? Never in US dialects that i've encountered, unless making a point when
teaching spelling.

12:45 am

Andree

i spoke the queens english till i came to Aus at age 9, then i practised very hard to sound like everyone else

12:46 am

Ankhorite

:: agrees with Seain, no T in US casssssles ::

12:46 am

Douglas

It's my understanding that speaking the Queen's English is Australia is a good way to get people to look at you funny...

12:46 am

Andree

it was my way of fitting in at school

12:46 am

dcseain

makes sense, andree.

12:47 am

Ankhorite

114 and I'm stuck... grr.

12:47 am

jillibus

andree, that's what happened to me when I hit the USA, then had to modify in Canada. I think I can be described as Mid-Atlantic

12:47 am

dcseain

i have a friend who came to US from Belarus at age 12. She still has accent, because she realised she could learn to say it right, or learn to speak, and she chose the latter.

12:47 am

ardilla

hi all

12:48 am

Just1Mar

If I were to solemnly vow not to tell you what the re7 was, and then changed my mind, you might say that Douglas re7 on his solemn vow...get it?

1:06 am

jesdraggon

restless, and still awake, dc... so i figured i'd come bury my brain in random words :)

1:06 am

dcseain

1:06 am

jesdraggon

sorry, ankhorite, i don't know--i just got here

1:06 am

Andree

hi jess

1:06 am

Just1Mar

random and obscure

1:06 am

jesdraggon

but douglas, reneged is not in this puzzle :P

1:07 am

mirandapan

--or vice-versa, Douglas--often used in card games, right? Hi, all.

1:07 am

dcseain

i had to google, never seen that spelling before for that word.

1:07 am

dcseain

it has an extra letter.

1:07 am

Douglas

Indeed yes, miranda...

1:07 am

Just1Mar

oops methinks someones got to hit the PB

1:07 am

dcseain

i thought that was what you were getting at, but.... anyway have it now. ty

1:08 am

Douglas

1:08 am

Just1Mar

dart did you watch the games tonight?

1:08 am

Andree

1:08 am

Just1Mar

ie hockey?

1:08 am

dart001

1:08 am

dcseain

i learned it w/out the vowel.

1:08 am

VolleymomDee

for sevens I have: ca, er x 2; ge; re; sc x 2 any others?

1:08 am

Douglas

They had high school hockey on TV in Minnesota...

1:08 am

jesdraggon

me? hmm. better go find the word i used :)

1:09 am

Andree

and you probably spell colour without the u dc

1:09 am

Just1Mar

errr was talking about the NHL doug....

1:09 am

Hugabugs

That's what I have Dee

1:09 am

dart001

lol...im in minn didnt see those either

1:09 am

Andree

and color is so not a word

1:09 am

jesdraggon

guess i'm clueless, douglas. i don't see the word i used...

1:09 am

dcseain

personally, i'm random about the u in words like that, andree.

1:10 am

Douglas

re6, with the d on the end, jes...

1:10 am

SweetTooth

1:10 am

dart001

saw about 10 mins of the ottawa phoenix game...which one just1?

1:10 am

jesdraggon

or so it says when i try to enter it

1:11 am

rabbasar

How come this puzzle doesn't recognise 'henge' - the common name for an ancient stine structure (as in Stonehenge) - or, for that matter Pelaton - the main pack in a bicycle race (not allowable in the puzzle the day before yeaterday). This dictionary needs an urgent upgrade!

1:11 am

Just1Mar

did mes canadiens win tonight darty?

1:11 am

Ankhorite

Rabba, we already grumped about that... the official dictionary just doesn't have henge.

1:11 am

Andree

it is funny how we have different spelling for the same word, my kids did much of their high school at american schools in asia , i was nearly driven insane with how they were taught to spell

1:11 am

dcseain

because enable, the dictionary, as jilli put it earlier, is an ignoramus, rabbsar. hello.

1:12 am

jesdraggon

hmm. well it worked the 4th time. guess it is the penalty for me. sorry.

1:12 am

dart001

mont 5 --- la 2

1:12 am

dcseain

-er and -or instead of -re and -our bother you that much andree?

1:12 am

parisla

it's peloton

1:12 am

Just1Mar

well us civilized folk here in the great white north (errr Canada, and I mean great and white) use the u as in neighbour, colour, etc etc

1:13 am

Just1Mar

yeahhh thx dart

1:13 am

jesdraggon

rabbasar--it also doesn't recognize cria (baby llama) or degu (gerbil-like rodent). it is frustratin

1:13 am

ursh

i googled it the other day parisla and its pelaton

1:13 am

Andree

not really but it was pretty silly when the kids got marked wrong for what is actually correct spelling

1:13 am

dcseain

how petty of the instructors, IMHO.

1:13 am

Ankhorite

Hi, Ursh, didn't see you before. :)

1:13 am

Just1Mar

u talkin' bout the u Andree?

1:14 am

ursh

hey ank

1:14 am

Just1Mar

it's so funny that I can't see the words minus the U....

1:14 am

dcseain

gaol/jail kerb/curb i can see, but most like -ise vs -ize are just cosmetic.

1:14 am

parisla

it's a french word, so I should know ;-). Wiki says The peloton (from French, literally meaning ball and related to the English word platoon)

1:14 am

ursh

i need 4 more words to take a break with 100 left and cant find any more grrr

1:15 am

Just1Mar

yeah and the ize vs ise too....never even knes ise was okay

1:15 am

Andree

yes just u caused alot of problems, i ended up sending the 2 younger kids to the british school

1:15 am

dcseain

pelota - a ball for a game in Spanish

Must have Sprite - the clock on Babble is an hour different

3:59 am

sprite

that was what I was thinking, but I am easily confused with time differences. We won't hit DLT until 30 March.

3:59 am

sprite

which is extremely late... happens about only 8 times in 500 years that DST starts after easter.

4:00 am

lynxxx

and we are early April - very late too

4:01 am

sprite

indeed so, lynxxx! Well, at least we will be more or less staying the same. I will have to make note of the US... and them having different time zones within the boundaries doesn't make it any easier, lol.

4:07 am

lynxxx

broke 100, went to list, first word I see is ac4.5 ! oh well, at least I am consistent as I never see it

4:08 am

sprite

lol lynxxx, we all have words like that. One of mine is asea. Never spot it, and it is really not such a tough one.

4:09 am

sprite

indian butter alert... cowboy throw-rope alert ;)

4:10 am

lynxxx

the lariat was my 153rd word

4:11 am

sprite

thought you would have them already... but who knows, someone might benefit ;)

4:13 am

lynxxx

the more people playing the less chat it seems

4:13 am

hydra

Hello. Thanks for those tips, sprite! I'm Babbling while my cat snores his head off a few feet away. He snores louder than my partner!

4:13 am

sprite

lol hydra! Hi and yvw :)

4:14 am

hydra

Hi lynxxx. Didn't mean to sound as if I was leaving you out.

4:14 am

lynxxx

Hi Hydra. Bet he's easier to stop though

4:14 am

sprite

yeah, sometimes that seems true, lynxxx. But there are so many times more lurkers than chatters in this game.

4:14 am

hydra

I'm guilty of lurking when I'm busy and have only ten mins to spare.

4:15 am

sprite

ah... the nose-in-the-air arrogant word I recently confused with high-up, is now in the grid :)

4:15 am

sprite

nobody can be guilty of lurking. It is a right we have :)

4:15 am

hydra

I have to start work in a minute, really, even on Sunday, as I have to produce three chapters of a novel by Monday. I only started on Friday! I've done nearly 9000 words since then. It'#s a hard life!

4:16 am

sprite

eeeeks hydra... what did you do with it? Write it, translate it, correct it?

4:17 am

lynxxx

Rolin - dont be such a smart al** (let's see if I can flush her out)

4:17 am

hydra

Write it. From scratch. I don't know if the publisher will want to buy it, it's all on spec. But a literary agent is meeting the publisher tomorrow and will take it with him if he thinks it's any good.

4:17 am

sprite

lol lynxxx!

4:17 am

herinfernallady

HI

4:17 am

wow hydra. Go for it and I will keep my fingers crossed.

4:18 am

hydra

Thank youI am really exhausted.

4:18 am

hydra

Hi infernal!

4:18 am

sprite

I bet! But it sounds like a chance you cannot pass up on. It might be worth a little overtime.

4:18 am

hydra

I see a Robbie Williams song in the grid today

4:19 am

sprite

my re4 name is in the grid today :) But not valid, alas.

4:19 am

hydra

You're right, sprite. It was a real challenge. I'm not even sure how the story will end but have to figure it out and write a synopsis. I'll let you all know how it goes.

4:20 am

sprite

please do, hydra! I am excited for you, I really am, lol. You will work it out in time and make it great, I just know it.

4:20 am

herinfernallady

What are you writing about hydra?

4:21 am

hydra

You're making me blush, sprite. It's a Joanne Trollope type of romance set in a country village, with a twist, because the woman who's just moved there has a secret... I shall say no more!

4:21 am

sprite

wanna read it already. If it gets published, please let me know how to obtain it, hydra!

4:21 am

4:44 am

herinfernallady

If you get a chance watch Jekyll its very good

4:44 am

Marmar

Hi Lady, our Priest goes a rung up on the Church ladder. Monsignor, I believe, is the step before Bishop, then Cardinal and finally Pope. He is a wonderful leader, speaker, shepherd if you will! And his family name is Heil which means "healing" in English. So appropriate as he helps so many people.

4:45 am

herinfernallady

wow. Um is that part of the Catholic church? Im a little sketchy with things this eve

4:45 am

Marmar

Oh, yes, I should have said that at the beginning.

5:29 am

lynxxx

5:30 am

Jandy

That would be the battery to us!

5:30 am

sprite

husband was doing better on the new meds, then got a new attack the day before yesterday. He now has to take another med as well, and that helps. He is without pain today, for the first time this year.

5:30 am

sprite

ohhhhhh am so sorry. Yes, the battery. Stupid me.

5:30 am

Jandy

Working on the grid with the clog wog again.. he needs to join up himself!

5:31 am

Jandy

Dank je wel! En jij ook!

5:32 am

ardilla

thanks lynxxx

5:32 am

lynxxx

er7.36 means soon. sort of compound and sounds archaic

5:32 am

Jandy

Well, figuring out what was going on muust have made an enormous difference, so I hope it stays this way for him, sprite!

5:33 am

sprite

so do I, Jandy! He is not as used to pain as I am and it took out so much of him. He still goes to bed extremely early, often with the kids. And even though he does not understand why, I do, LOL.

5:33 am

sprite

does anyone want a list of the 7s, with second letter and points?

5:34 am

Jandy

True enough, sprite. Pain is very tiring. As you know!

5:34 am

herinfernallady

Please

5:34 am

Jandy

Thanks lynxxx, great clues

5:34 am

ardilla

yes, cuz i'm missing 3 pls

Lickety is up Sprite

5:34 am

sprite

took me 10 years to figure that out myself, lol, Jandy. I am not very smart that way either.

5:35 am

Jandy

Funnily enough, I think I'm quite perceptive about how people are doing. Except for me!!

5:35 am

Jandy

I think a lot of us are like that... especially mothers...

5:37 am

sprite

ah, ok lynxxx, that is great. My toughest 7 was the sc32. Thing on the skin of a snake + first vowel of the hawaiian goose I think I forgot that one on the babblets list, btw.

5:37 am

sprite

hi and bye, Chrissie! :)

5:39 am

sprite

first vowel? I am really stupid this morning. First syllable, I mean.

5:40 am

Jandy

Now, sprite. Enough of the stupid talk! Here you are chatting away in a language which is not your first. I admire anyone who can do that!

5:40 am

sprite

oh, and occasion is a phantom, in case you wondered. As is fo**ile.

5:40 am

herinfernallady

thanks Sprite

5:41 am

Marmar

Sprite, don't say things like that about yourself please. You're a jewel.

5:41 am

Jandy

I think California is a phantom in this one...

5:41 am

sprite

well, chatting away is one thing, getting words totally mixed up is another. So ok, maybe not stupid, but definitely confusing, lol.
The snake skin thing + first SYLLABLE of the hawaiian goose, it should read.

5:41 am

herinfernallady

Sprite no your not

5:41 am

5:43 am

is that the physical cause of narrowmindedness, BabbleRabble?

5:44 am

Jandy

Oh, that

5:44 am

o-o

some people have a mind like a steel trap ... once it closes nothing gets in

5:44 am

Jandy

Oh, well you are clearly having an excellent day in Morocco. How's the food? Had a tagine yet?

5:45 am

Jandy

Quickly scans grid to make sure tagine not there... not wanting to be sent You Know Where!

5:45 am

herinfernallady

dang it

5:46 am

yeah, guess that is true. Ok, if I can't help any more, I will be off and do some chores. *hugs* to you all, happy babbling and thanks for the wonderful company, help and fun. You guys rock.

5:49 am

The dress industry, BR?

5:50 am

herinfernallady

Babble i agree.

5:50 am

ardilla

clue for the so7 pls?

5:50 am

herinfernallady

I am a FAT size 16 to 18 and i should be a 12 to 14 to be healthy. Its totally b.s

5:51 am

Jandy

Well, intellectually I agree, but it depresses the life out of me given that I wear several sizes bigger than a few years ago. So the news is even worse than I thought! thanks BR....

5:51 am

herinfernallady

Judging by how one is treated in the stores you should be a 10 -12. mmm b.s

5:52 am

Uneaixoise

so7 one who so6/21

5:52 am

herinfernallady

Jandy and babble the male and female species need to stand up and say ' i like my body im not a size im a person.

5:52 am

Jandy

Interesting experience with new govt here, BR. they are being pretty up front with the population about how things really are. Somewhat novel approach.

5:53 am

ardilla

i don't have the so6.21 either ;(

5:53 am

Uneaixoise

so6 comfort

5:53 am

o-o

my take is a politician will jump at any excuse for laxity in personal accountability and integrity

5:54 am

herinfernallady

SO plus thing used to tie your shoes

Jandy

Very true, une. It's an awful, awful thing.

5:59 am

herinfernallady

Im am trys stupid

5:59 am

Uneaixoise

waterboarding is an "acceptable" form of "persuasion" used on political prisoners

6:00 am

ardilla

thanks BR

6:01 am

herinfernallady

Ok so the states is allowing crimes against the person. mmm I wonder if Bush also thinks that Hitler wasn't a bad man but totally misunderstood. HEAD DESK FECK TARD

6:01 am

Uneaixoise

Shrub = any means to an end

6:02 am

Uneaixoise

and he believes that results in reliable information . . .

6:02 am

herinfernallady

But if i poke you alot with a cattle prod arent you going to tell me what i want to hear to make me stop?

6:02 am

ardilla

water boarding was used in the spanish inquisition

6:02 am

Uneaixoise

precisely

6:03 am

herinfernallady

Can the world charge bush with crimes against the people?

6:03 am

herinfernallady

um human rights dohicky

6:03 am

Uneaixoise

good luck

6:03 am

o-o

waterboarding was used by the US in the Phillipines during the spanish american war

6:03 am

herinfernallady

at least hes going this year

6:04 am

Uneaixoise

wondering if it's possible to ever repair all the damage he's done . . .

6:05 am

Jandy

I think it is, Une. Time heals a lot of things...

6:05 am

Uneaixoise

i salute your optimism

6:05 am

Uneaixoise

seriously

6:06 am

o-o

I have been very sincere in telling congress they are spineless twits incapable of managing a pile of rocks

6:06 am

herinfernallady

I was against him the moment he vetoed funding to third world countries for birth control

6:06 am

Jandy

Well, if you look at countries like Germany and Japan, they have rebuilt from the ground up successfully...

6:06 am

Uneaixoise

yep, one of his many brilliant moves, herin

6:07 am

herinfernallady

Yep. I even think i was so disgusted about that i wrote to the Washington post

6:07 am

Uneaixoise

but you know, jandy, there are folks who will never trust Germany ever again

6:08 am

Jandy

That's true, and there are Australians in particular who hold a grudge against the Japanese. But it is still a generational issue, and more time yet will pass and people will forget that bias.

6:08 am

herinfernallady

DOn't get me wrong its just one person not the people

6:08 am

Jandy

My word, waxing philosophical tonight, aren't we!!

6:08 am

sukee

lol

6:10 am

ardilla

hi sukee

6:12 am

sukee

I'm hoping whoever gets in reverses some of Bush's decisions. It would be a bit hypocrital of McCain (if he is elected) to approve of torture. Well, more than a bit...

6:12 am

herinfernallady

McCain from what i heard can it my arse

6:12 am

pinkhatlil

im back!! *waves*

HI pink and angel

Hi Angel, splendid thanks. And you?

6:14 am

hey, angel :-)

Tired, our clocks lost an hour today. And I got up to do laundry and the laundry room is still locked.

6:14 am

Eva

as one of the few USers on right now, please everyone, use whatever psychic means you have to make sure we don't have another republican president. Or you guys north of the border may be seeing me soon.

6:14 am

herinfernallady

We lost on hour of babble

6:14 am

herinfernallady

He eva

6:15 am

sukee

Harper is trying to be like Bush though, that's why I want a Democrat in the US

6:15 am

Eva

hi herin

6:15 am

herinfernallady

Eva come to us

6:15 am

Eva

it's a bit far herin...Canada is only a couple of hours away.

6:15 am

Jandy

I was the same with our elections late last year, guys. But we did get a change of govt after 11 long years. Still, there were lots of people who thought the previous govt did a great job.... depends on your measurement.

6:16 am

Jandy

Weather's better, though, Eva! LOL!

6:17 am

sukee

there are some words in the grid today that fit Bush :)

6:17 am

herinfernallady

Sukee Tw plus picnic ant isnt in here

6:17 am

Eva

not too many people here now think that Bush is doing a good job, but there is such a desire to be "saved" by some big strong daddy figure who promises to fight the bad guys- who can't be fought that way. Obama, right now for me, is the only one who is representing a return to statesmanship rather than mindless aggressive posturing.

6:17 am

herinfernallady

opps

6:17 am

Uneaixoise

yay, eva!!

6:18 am

herinfernallady

My kitty has a bald spot from her colar

6:18 am

Eva

that depends Jandy....I'm not big on super heat. However, as get older, the winters are getting more wearing too.

6:18 am

ardilla

yeah, i like obama

6:19 am

ardilla

i think hillary is the antichrist in a pantsuit...lol

6:19 am

sukee

Don't talk to me about winter...I had to cancel yet another social engagement because of all the snow we got yesterday. I haven't been able to get out practically all winter.

6:19 am

Jandy

LOl ardilla...LOL

6:19 am

Eva

I feel much more despair over my fellow citizens than I do over the specific leaders. They got elected after all.

6:20 am

sukee

I'm happy that a lot of the really conservative people say they won't vote of McCain, of course they probably will anyway because George told them to

6:20 am

Jandy

Well, it's a big country, eva, so you could pick your spot. We have a nice winter here. Just freezing on a cold night then about 16-20 C during the day. And it hardly ever gets to 40 any more!

6:20 am

Eva

sukee, it's been a particularly hard one hasn't it? The 4+ feet of snow were dealable with, but when we had that slight thaw about a month again and everything turned to ice I stopped being able to take my walks - even with crampons strapped onto my feet it was just too icy and scary.

6:21 am

ardilla

clue for the first fo6 pls?

6:21 am

sukee

...debates moving to Australia...likes it all except for the bugs :)

6:22 am

Jandy

We lived in St Louis for a few years and I really never understood till then what an INCONVENIENCE the whole thing was....

6:22 am

Jandy

Bugs, sukee? What bugs? We have some little spiders....

6:22 am

herinfernallady

Oh and the things that kill u

6:22 am

ardilla

like the deadly snakes?

6:23 am

Jandy

Shhhhhh...lady

6:23 am

sukee

I don't like spiders...

6:23 am

herinfernallady

Jandy the Funnel Webs that live in the water and the drop bears

6:23 am

herinfernallady

:D

6:23 am

sukee

And I bet your spiders are a lot bigger than ours

6:23 am

Eva

New Zealand sounds like paradise to me. But I just don't think that I could move so far away from my friendship network. As you get older you realize how incredibly rare it is to find soul mates who weather the test of time. Not something I take lightly.

6:23 am

herinfernallady

Sukee not really.

6:23 am

Jandy

We had one recently that you could actually hear walking on the wall, sukee. But not poisonous.

6:24 am

sukee

Even hearing that made me cringe

6:24 am

ardilla

wow!

6:24 am

Jandy

I'm with you Eva. I would happily go and live in Thailand for a few years except for that network.

6:24 am

sukee

Most of my grandfather's family moved to Australia...I'll have to find out who and where they are :)

6:25 am

herinfernallady

The goliath birdeater tarantula of South America is arguably the biggest spider in the world. The venomous night hunter can grow to be one foot (30 centimeters) long and sports one-inch (2.5-centimeter) fangs.

6:25 am

Jandy

You should do sukee.

6:25 am

herinfernallady

We don't ahve dinner plate spiders thanks

6:26 am

sukee

Of course, my kitty could take care of those spiders...

6:26 am

Jandy

Strangely enough, I can pick the great big (non venomous) spiders up on a piece of paper and put them outside. But I don't care for moths... yukk....

6:26 am

herinfernallady

Um no

6:26 am

herinfernallady

Jandy great place to live for loath of moths

6:27 am

sukee

Interesting...conversation went from Bush to insects...

6:27 am

Jandy

But I did have a big fat redback in the boot of my car last week, with a web going, and that would kill your kitty dead. Fast.

6:27 am

Jandy

And make an adult pretty sick...

6:27 am

herinfernallady

We know that hes a roach right

6:28 am

sukee

Ok...enough talk of spiders. It's making my skin crawl :)

6:28 am

herinfernallady

Jandy thats what hairspray and bbq lighters are for

6:28 am

Jandy

True, lady, we get those disgusting, furry, huge bogong moths.... blerk!

6:28 am

6:32 am

Eva

I have never been able to convince Merp to eat bugs, except for houseflies. He just watches spiders. Spiders, roaches and leeches are really the only animals that give me the creeps. Oh, not big on ants when there are lots of them either. Rodents and snakes are just fine.

6:33 am

ardilla

*sighs of relief*

6:33 am

herinfernallady

I don't like most green veggies what makes you think id eat bugs

6:33 am

ardilla

6:34 am

Eva

I have a very close friend in Australia and would love to visit, but just can't bear the idea of the interminable plane journey. Getting on a plane at all is something i avoid whenever possible, I dream of some day having the time and money to go by sea.

I can't open any pages at the moment except this one.

7:41 am

1:48 pm

Scarlet

This is a real toughie today.

1:48 pm

dcseain

1:48 pm

KatieMcG

I can only go from the top, if I start at the bottom it throws me off completely :-)

1:49 pm

gwenski

Usually I put in as many words as I can find, but I'm limiting myself to just those in the group I'm currently looking for. (Right now, it's 'sc')

1:49 pm

Scarlet

Every darned time I see it, I have to try it, and it NEVER is accepted... the folk from The Time Machine... the eloi

A girl at work couldn't see why I didn't lie to the vicar and say I had been Christened as he would never know. I pointed out that his boss would. Therein lies the difference between an athiest and a believer :-)

every time I say their names to ask a question (for example if they want to have some cake) I get a grumble at best or a disdainful remark. And when I have to insist that they do something (like homework/housework) ... well you can imagine.

4:50 pm

JBV

cr 5/12 - fishing gear (a basket, I think) - cr + long fish

4:52 pm

stidmama

we don't have snow in these parts, BR -- or they'd be building an igloo to sleep in tonight.

4:53 pm

herinfernallady

Stid chuck a tanty your self. Just grunt at them and dont feed them . When they question 'were is my food' tell them 'you can't be poliet and civil and ask for things then nothing for you. NO cake or treats either' and don't do their laundry.

4:53 pm

MLFAN17

i monkeyed the eg lol

4:53 pm

pam

snow shovelling is better than the egregious child abuse I suffered, babblerab! Would that I could have shovelled them...

4:53 pm

stidmama

I have the better solution -- I shall eat all the cake (chocolate) and they shall have NONE. *emphatic fold of the arms*

4:55 pm

stidmama

great minds think alike

4:55 pm

JBV

just a sign as to how times have changed, when my mom was alive, we had her fill out a journal (for the grandchildren) and it asked "What punishments did your parents give you when you were disobedient?" Her answer ? "We were not allowed to be disobedient"

4:55 pm

4:57 pm

KatieMcG

Thanks BR

4:57 pm

4:58 pm

MLFAN17

babble can you help out a bit more please

4:58 pm

Lindrickway

how many do you have left to get jacula?

6:48 pm

Jacula

36, Lindrick.

6:49 pm

Lindrickway

oh i have 17 and am struggling now!

6:49 pm

JBV

Jac, if you have the cr 6/21, the 24 is the same except for the last letter, change the vowel to a 2-point consonant

6:49 pm

Shirlockc

cr = indian tribe + the be silent sound

6:50 pm

harpjane

oh, i monkeyed and it dind't know it!

6:50 pm

Jacula

Thanks JBV and Shirlock.

6:53 pm

Shirlockc

sc5/12 after frightens?

6:54 pm

Jacula

Italian word for part of an act in a play.

6:54 pm

chrisk

sc5/12 - parts of acts in plays

6:54 pm

Lindrickway

like the sc*** of the crime but the last vowel is the first vowel

6:55 pm

Shirlockc

thx all, fireworks!

6:55 pm

6:56 pm

Lindrickway

6:56 pm

Shirlockc

there's no ce6

6:56 pm

JBV

harp you mean cr6?

6:56 pm

harpjane

yes that is what i mean, what is wrong with me today?

6:56 pm

Jacula

Harp - it sounds like it needs ironing because it has a pucker or pleat. Diff. 2nd vowel though.

6:56 pm

JBV

the first one looks like swiss, gruyere or parmesan, just change the h to r

6:57 pm

harpjane

thanks that was it

6:57 pm

JBV

for the second one 6/24 = take off the final vowel and add a 2-point consonant

6:57 pm

JBV

na 6/21, please?

6:58 pm

Jacula

See, Lindrick? JBV and me just clued the word in 2 different ways. One way will work for one person and one for another, or both together will bring enlightenment.

6:58 pm

Lindrickway

yeah but did you read my last clue jacula, it didn't even make any sense!! lol

6:58 pm

JBV

6:58 pm

6:59 pm

JBV

7:00 pm

Jacula

Harp's right, JBV. I'm typing rubbish. LOL

7:00 pm

JBV

oh, wait - there's a plural?

7:00 pm

Jacula

22 more words to find. *Dives into grid.*

7:00 pm

JBV

thanks, I was not looking heavenward!

7:03 pm

Jacula

JBV - one should always glance heavenwards every now and again... a plane might be discharging its block of iced toilet contents, or a big bird might be plunging down having died in mid flight, or a cow might have fallen off a place higher up. (Yes, people have been killed by all 3!)

7:04 pm

JBV

hmm.... or a giant tree branch might be falling on a car - it happened in new york this weekend

7:05 pm

JBV

actually, it was a whole tree - the picture was amazing! totally flattened the parked car

7:05 pm

Jacula

JBV - we're due for a big storm here with 80mph winds (240mph 5 miles up) later. I hope no one is hurt.

7:06 pm

Jacula

Off to PB----------> I said a word.:(

7:06 pm

Lindrickway

lol

7:06 pm

harpjane

oooh goodie, i hope it's a word i don't have yet....

7:07 pm

JBV

we had a very windy weekend here, but not that bad - maybe 40 mph winds - wish you luck with that storm - stay indoors and tie down everything that may get airborne

7:08 pm

Jacula

Will do, JBV.

7:08 pm

JBV

I had to go out at 1:30 in the a.m. to retrieve my garbage pails which were flying down the street

7:08 pm

Lindrickway

yeah gl jacula

7:09 pm

Jacula

I've already put a brick on top of the 3 recycling boxes.

7:10 pm

Jacula

I'm more concerned about the prolonged heavy rain forecast, since my house has flooded 4 times before and my insurers withdrew flood insurance.

7:10 pm

Lindrickway

oh charming of them!

7:11 pm

Jacula

Yep, Lindrick. Charge nearly Â£80 a month for 'premium' insurance and kick you when you're down.

7:11 pm

Lindrickway

wow that's a lot

7:12 pm

Jacula

It's building and contents, Lindrick, but it's still a lot, yes.

7:12 pm

Lindrickway

do you live in a castle or palace?!!

7:12 pm

Lindrickway

lol

7:12 pm

Jacula

Neither. LOL.

7:13 pm

Jacula

You'd have been ever so shocked if I'd have said, 'Yes' to either of those, wouldn't you, Lindrick? *grins*

7:14 pm

Lindrickway

who me? i don't shock that easily!!!

7:14 pm

Shirlockc

anyone need clues?

7:14 pm

harpjane

could someone clue the second fo5?

7:14 pm

Jacula

Especially if my screen name was 'Lizzie2'. LOL

7:14 pm

Lindrickway

eeuu don't even go there jacula!!

7:15 pm

Shirlockc

one is plural for 4/7

7:15 pm

Jacula

Paper size, harp.

7:15 pm

Shirlockc

the other fo5 is fo4/7 + 1st vowel

7:15 pm

Jacula

Or.. a record of work if you put 'port' before it.

7:15 pm

Ankhorite

Harp, art students keep flat works in a fo5.

7:16 pm

harpjane

thanks

7:16 pm

Lindrickway

oh no, only 5 left and they are all re's!!

7:17 pm

Jacula

19 left here. Some might be re's. Dunno.

7:17 pm

harpjane

i have 106 to go, you guys are lucky...

7:17 pm

Lindrickway

i know but i don't like re's, only 3 now!!

7:18 pm

Jacula

We'll help you through, Harp.

7:19 pm

Lindrickway

re 6/21 anyone please?

7:20 pm

Lindrickway

oh nevermind i have it

7:20 pm

Lindrickway

ty anyway

7:20 pm

Lindrickway

7:20 pm

Jacula

To whack at school again, Lindrick?

7:20 pm

JBV

re 6/21 is what you do to repair a woven chair seat -

7:20 pm

Lindrickway

lol ty

7:20 pm

JBV

great clue, Jacula -

7:21 pm

Lindrickway

both great JBV

7:22 pm

JBV

mine was just mundane, Jac's was inspired

7:22 pm

Lindrickway

lol

7:23 pm

Jacula

Not that it ever happened to me. Our headmaster was a lay preacher and a very lovely man. His way of punishing pupils was to tell them how disappointed he was in them. In those days, when kids had respect for those that respected them, it worked.

7:24 pm

Lindrickway

too right

7:24 pm

JBV

so, true, Jacula - were you here before when we were having this very same conversation??

7:25 pm

Lindrickway

i give in does anyone have re 6/24 & re7/36 please?

7:26 pm

Jacula

Not been he4 for most of the day, JBV, so missed that. Been busy having a family Sunday and cooking a roast, doing some baking, mending, talking, TV watching etc.

7:26 pm

JBV

re 6/24 - to go back on one's word - as in a business deal

7:27 pm

Jacula

Thanks for those 2, JBV. Didn't even know I needed them until you clued them.

7:27 pm

Jacula

15 to go now...

7:27 pm

Lindrickway

woohoo finished ty very much

7:27 pm

Lindrickway

for all your help

7:27 pm

Jacula

Congrats, Lindrick.

7:27 pm

JBV

well people were responding to a mom who was getting some "adolescent attitude" from her kids and others responded as you did, about how things have changed - all we needed was a stern look and we would not have dared to say or do the things kids do today

7:28 pm

Jacula

True, JBV, but common courtesy, respect and care for others seems, mostly, to have fallen by the wayside now. Sad but true.

7:28 pm

Lindrickway

it seems to be respect that is missing nowadays

7:29 pm

Jacula

Not everyone is like that, of course, but enough to make a difference world wide are.:(

7:29 pm

Lindrickway

i wonder how so many lost respect in the first place?

7:30 pm

Lindrickway

Can't blame tv cos i used to watch tv and violent shows too and i still respected my elders

7:30 pm

Jacula

Lack of discipline from the 'hippy' generation to a degree, methinks. It's a 'ME, ME,ME' world now.

7:31 pm

Lindrickway

but i am a child of the sixties and the kids in my school all had respect for elders!!

7:31 pm

Jacula

Same here, Lindrick. I meant children after that. (I was born in 1957.)

7:32 pm

JBV

Lindrick - I guess we're about the same age - and I agree that we were raised differently

7:32 pm

Jacula

There have also been recessions that, rather than leading to 'all pull together' have lead to 'everyone for themself and dog eat dog'.

7:32 pm

Lindrickway

i was born in '65, but i think it could be something to do with the fact that kids can sue their parents and such like

7:33 pm

Lindrickway

i brought my children up to respect their elders, i was quite strict in the beginning and then could relax somewhat when they knew their boundries

7:33 pm

Jacula

Well, Lindrick, they can in USA (sue their parents) but it's only just starting here in UK. Not sure it's that. I do think the rise of too much 'political correctness' has led to a loss of pride in both oneself and one's country over he4.

7:34 pm

Lindrickway

it can't help can it jacula

7:34 pm

Ankhorite

Jacula, your grandma said the same thing... and her grandma did too... all the way back to the first writings we have from Socrates and such, complaining that the new generation doesn't care about anything but itself. :)

7:34 pm

Lindrickway

it is probably a mix of lots of things, but it's not a good way to go really

7:34 pm

JBV

Also consider how the world around us has changed - you mentioned tv- but today's kids are exposed to much more - they have the world at their fingertips with the computer

7:35 pm

Jacula

Lindrick - I brought my children up same way, only to respect those who treated them with respect. My kids and all their friends are the ones I hope will shape the future. Unfortunately, the feral majority might win out. (It's like Mad Max out there at times.)

7:35 pm

JBV

so the idea of protecting or sheltering kids is no longer valid - they lose their innocence much earlier

7:35 pm

Ankhorite

I strongly agree with children suing their parents, depending on what for. Sexual assault, you betcha. But for a less sensational example, even MINOR children "sue" their parents in car crashes -- this is done to make the parents' insurance company pay what it is supposed to pay.

7:36 pm

Lindrickway

I still think it comes down to the values instilled at a young age that insures kind caring individuals

7:36 pm

Ankhorite

I like the phrase "feral majority" - hadn't heard that before!

7:36 pm

Jacula

Thanks, Ankh, 'tis my own phrase. *Makes copyright sign on it" LOL

7:37 pm

Lindrickway

i agree ank but a lot of parents are becoming afraid to chastise their children because of the fact that they can be sued

7:38 pm

Ankhorite

Lindrick, I don't believe it. I think that sort of thing is netlore -- to sue for physical abuse, the court would demand a remarkable standard of proof, burns and broken bones, something like that.

Ankhorite

Oh no, the state of the world?! I didn't come here to get depressed! Do not even get me started with the state of the world today! All I know is we need a new President. Not that the new President will be able to change the state of the world.Just change the state of things in Iraq hopefully.Anyway, I will shut up now.

evanonut

7:48 pm

lbdawger

to answer some of my more computer illiterate questions.

7:48 pm

Minveryork

7:48 pm

evanonut

7:49 pm

evanonut

7:50 pm

Scrabbler

Sorry, I got paged, then got a call, and now I have to call a mother about her kid's fever.

7:50 pm

Minveryork

evanonut, what does that mean, it is a meebo chat?

7:50 pm

lbdawger

7:51 pm

Jacula

Well done, JBV.

7:51 pm

Minveryork

Scrabbler, I have a medical question for you.Maybe I will send it to you in an email later on. Is that alright?

7:52 pm

Scrabbler

You may e-mail me, Minveryork, so as to maintain confidentiality.

7:52 pm

evanonut

meebo is a service minver, you can use it to talk on all instant messengers, and you can also have a personal chat room, i used to have it on the babblecast page.

7:52 pm

lbdawger

nut, i'm having to download yahoo. be a few minutes

7:53 pm

Minveryork

All this high tech is totally not me at all! The internet and cell phones are about as high tech as I get! LOL!

7:54 pm

Jacula

Nut - is that chat not on babblecast now?

7:54 pm

Jacula

Looking for 9 's' words and one 'l' now.

7:55 pm

Scrabbler

Is Mom still he4? I wanted to know how much snow she got. Or was it her that said 10.6 inches?

7:55 pm

Minveryork

7:58 pm

Mom

I think you all are near the end of the month, Jacula or the beginning of April

7:58 pm

Minveryork

I just googled the movie Jacula. Don't know anybody in it. It's from 2008. Did I google the right one Jacula

7:58 pm

lbdawger

hopefully, that will mean he'l lcrash and burn soon, feather

7:58 pm

8:02 pm

BrokenStasis

Hey guys :) Hi Feather

8:02 pm

8:03 pm

featherbee

8:03 pm

Krista

8:04 pm

Krista

aw thanks :) feels like I've not been on here for ages..think it was 2 days

8:05 pm

Mom

and you weren't suffering withdrawal, Krista?

8:06 pm

Krista

I had awful withdrawal! But had to catch up on things that "went to pot" when I was sick (is that a local saying or do others use, too?)

8:07 pm

Mom

I use it a lot, Krista

8:08 pm

lil*monkey

hi eveyone! back to find my last 50 words :)

8:08 pm

Mom

{{LilMonkey}} hello

8:09 pm

DR1965

hi Monkey

8:09 pm

lil*monkey

hi mom! {hugs}

8:09 pm

Krista

hee hee..i don't even know what it means, but I use it a lot,too..because things are always going to pot!!

8:09 pm

lil*monkey

hi Dr.!

8:09 pm

Krista

hi Monkey woman

8:09 pm

lil*monkey

hi krista!

8:09 pm

Mom

that saying and things are going to hell in a hand basket is another I use a lot

8:10 pm

lil*monkey

LOL i've heard that one too, mom

8:11 pm

DR1965

clue for si6 please?

8:11 pm

Scrabbler

OK, phone calls are done. 43 to go.

8:11 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

hi all, and i share my first phantoms with you: canoli, genie, saloon, saline, congeal

8:11 pm

Mom

Hi Gwen

8:12 pm

Krista

ooh, that's useful in my house, too :) I did read the origin of that one once, but forget now

8:12 pm

featherbee

my house has gone to pot

8:12 pm

DR1965

Hi Gwen

8:12 pm

Scrabbler

si + road/street

8:12 pm

featherbee

ever since i had a second baby!

8:12 pm

lbdawger

si+ narrow road.

8:12 pm

Krista

hi Scrabbs and Gwen

8:12 pm

lil*monkey

si + Beatles song Penny ****

8:12 pm

BrokenStasis

si- car pool ****

8:12 pm

Scrabbler

You shouldn't be smoking pot at your age, Featherbee.

8:12 pm

DR1965

ty Dawger

8:12 pm

DR1965

and others :)

8:12 pm

BrokenStasis

Lol, three different clues

8:12 pm

featherbee

lol, heaven forbid!

8:12 pm

Krista

me too, and the baby is almost 7!

8:13 pm

featherbee

oh no krista! i was hoping there'd be a light at the end of the tunnel soon! lol

8:13 pm

Mom

me three and my baby is 20

8:13 pm

lil*monkey

naughty feather!

8:14 pm

featherbee

i always make an attempt, but except for rare occasions, i can never seem to get the whole house straightened up at the same time. like now, the dining room and living room are pretty good, daniel's room and nick's room are disasters, and my room is shut the door worthy

8:14 pm

Mom

lol Feather.

8:15 pm

Krista

Lol, Mom...and I keep hoping,too feather...but I guess the kid-related clutter never ends..that's exactly the same here...one step forward, three steps back

8:15 pm

featherbee

in the next few nights, i'll work on the bedrooms, and in the meantime the living/dining room will look like a tornado of toys hit it

8:15 pm

Mom

I follow the philosphy ... my house is clean enough to be healthy and messy enough to be happy.

8:15 pm

Jacula

I'm back, 7 left to find. I was just talking to my son about state of house and how when you work full-time you manage your time much better. LOL

8:15 pm

featherbee

i would need both boys to be gone for 24 hours to get the entire house done at once

8:16 pm

featherbee

i like that philosophy mom

8:16 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

for me the question is "where to hide the clutter" not "how much clutter to throw out" LOL

8:16 pm

Krista

i'm working on my scrabulous turn, feather..if you could do your whole house in one day, you're not as far gone as u think

8:16 pm

Mom

love the plastic containers, Gwen

8:17 pm

Krista

oh, Mom, I really like that saying...that's plaque-worthy

8:17 pm

featherbee

i had finally gotten myself cut waaaay down on the clutter before daniel was born. then this kid arrives with all his toy-clutter!

8:17 pm

Mom

thanks Krista, it is a life saver for me

8:17 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

move it around a buit, yes, but i'm too lazy to throw it away. anyway, half of it is to be recycled as soon as I find all the places to take it!

8:18 pm

featherbee

let me amend that: the whole upstairs part of the house. let's not even discuss the family room downstairs, which became the repository of all the stuff that had been in nick's room! i'd like to turn that into a family/play room this summer, but don't know where to start.

8:18 pm

Mom

I think we get overwhelmed by so much clutter we don't know where to start

8:18 pm

Scrabbler

The 2nd fo5 please?

8:19 pm

lbdawger

scrabs, a port fo***

8:19 pm

Scrabbler

That is how I feel, Mom....like, "Someday I will clean that closet/room/drawer/cupboard..."

8:19 pm

Scrabbler

Ty, dawger!

8:20 pm

Mom

I use the FlyLady philosphy, and it has helped

8:20 pm

Mom

www.flylady.net

8:20 pm

featherbee

i love flylady

8:20 pm

Krista

we're doing the same with the basement, Feather..the half we want to start using is unfinished, so it will be a lot of work, but we need more elbow room..love having all of us home al the time, but it has its disadvantages...she has helped me a lot, Mom! I love her!

8:20 pm

Mom

I know the feeling Scrabbler

8:20 pm

featherbee

that's how i cut down on my own clutter before daniel

8:20 pm

Mom

she is good

8:20 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

canoli, arg!

8:21 pm

featherbee

i need a flylady for working moms though

8:21 pm

lil*monkey

I'm in "LO hell" right now...

8:21 pm

mkg

hi all. as 6 please? cant get it.

8:21 pm

Mom

lol Monkey

8:22 pm

Mom

8:22 pm

Mom

Hi MKG

8:22 pm

lil*monkey

Xscuse my *expletive*

8:22 pm

Scrabbler

TY for that reference, Mom. I see on there a book called "Body Clutter"--that is a good term for my thighs and belly.

8:22 pm

Krista

hi mkg

8:22 pm

featherbee

dunno, been a while since i've been to the site. hmm, daniel's 3 and a half? ok, so been about 4 years since i've been there!

8:22 pm

Mom

as + another word for dirt (the so 4/4 word)

8:22 pm

Krista

I have that book, but haven't read it yet (as my fat body can attest)

8:23 pm

Jacula

Gwen - comes a time when you have to give stuff away, recycle it, bin it or sell it. It's quite liberating. I'm still in the midst of doing it. It was hard with the books though, I admit.

8:23 pm

Krista

she addresses working moms a lot, Feather//maybe that is new since you left

8:23 pm

Mom

I think I have that book too. Definitely not using it

8:23 pm

Mom

you're welcome for the site, Scrabbler

8:24 pm

Scrabbler

Anybody have the last 3 GE words--ge6-7-8?

8:24 pm

Jacula

I've not read or he4d of the book, 'Body Clutter' but, a 50 and having had 2 kids, I have some. LOL

8:24 pm

Krista

I'm sure these sour gummy worms I'm eating are very nutritious

8:25 pm

Scrabbler

I bookmarked the site, Mom!

8:25 pm

featherbee

i still use the timer to do fast room sweeps!

8:25 pm

inge

Scrab, think military, top army leader is ge 7 and two of them are g3 8

8:25 pm

Scrabbler

hey, give me the orange ones, krista

8:25 pm

Jacula

Mom - I, too, have bookmarked the site.

8:25 pm

Scrabbler

Danke, Inge--I got all 3 now!

8:25 pm

inge

the ge 6 reminds me of non-brand drugs

8:26 pm

mkg

ty for the as 6 word clue. got it.

8:26 pm

Krista

if u sign up for the reminders, scrabbs..be prepared for a lot of email.. but I still allow them..figure one day I'll use them **hands Scrabbler all the orange gummies**

8:26 pm

inge

i AM TRYING to change my icon. BBL

8:27 pm

Mom

I hope it helps all of you.

8:27 pm

Scrabbler

FlyLady will send me reminders? When I sign up I better tell her that I am a procrastinator! Will she know when I ignore her reminders?

8:27 pm

Jacula

Nipping off to find my last 7 words.

8:27 pm

Mom

Scrabbler, nah, she won't know

8:27 pm

Jacula

LOL, Scrabbs.

8:27 pm

Mom

Scrabbler, I would be happy to send you her book, if you would like

8:27 pm

Krista

yep, Feather..that's the best thing from her "I can do anything for 15 minutes"

8:27 pm

Krista

i never read sink reflections

8:28 pm

Mom

lol, I have her timer sitting right here, I was going to use it for babble, but decided nah

8:28 pm

Scrabbler

The only GN words I know are gnus and gnocchi.

8:28 pm

Jacula

Good decision, Mom. You live life how YOU want, that's my philosophy.

8:29 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

and gnostic, which helps not

8:29 pm

Jacula

There's a gn that is a rough bit of a cut off branch left on a tree.

8:29 pm

Jacula

gn + pirate word.... me hearties!

8:29 pm

featherbee

i had to get a new timer, hers broke finally after daniel had his hands on it. i do have her feather dusters too!

8:29 pm

Jacula

..Jim lad. etc.

8:30 pm

Mom

oh I love the feather dusters

8:30 pm

Krista

They don't work for Babble. ;)

8:30 pm

featherbee

i like the 27 fling boogie too, but usually just go for the timer

8:30 pm

DR1965

ty Jac!

8:30 pm

Scrabbler

TY, Jacula.

8:30 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

and there's that tiny littel gnat, also not in the grid 8-(

8:30 pm

inge

Gee, my computer keeps updating itself, and now I don't know how to put the image of my choice into my icon. Will try again tomorrow. Gute Nacht.

8:30 pm

Jacula

y/w, DR. Now shut me up until I've found my final 6 words.

8:30 pm

Jacula

'Night, inge.x

8:30 pm

Krista

they really are better than most, and I have bad dust allergies...it must be the purple feather in the middle

8:31 pm

Mom

good night Inge

8:31 pm

featherbee

one thing i've learned to do when cleaning up toys, don't know if it's from flylady or my own thing: i take a laundry basket and just toss EVERYTHING in the basket in 5 minutes. then i set the basket on a table and sort through it. saves a lot of backtracking as i put things where they need to go, and makes the room look tons better instantly!

8:31 pm

Mom

definitely the purple one

8:31 pm

Scrabbler

Gute nacht, Inge.

8:31 pm

Krista

GET TO WORK JAC

8:31 pm

Krista

night inge

8:31 pm

8:32 pm

Argh, another phone call---fever phobia is today's theme, as usual.

8:32 pm

Jacula

*cowers* Oh, okay Inge. *dives backintogridtrembling*

8:34 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

salsi, plural of salsa. not a word????

8:34 pm

Jacula

Phew. Just found a nice calm word, se6/18.

8:34 pm

Scrabbler

I tried salsa at least twice today.

8:35 pm

Krista

basket thing good idea...especially when you are good and actually put the stuff away later

8:35 pm

Scrabbler

2nd jo4 please?

8:35 pm

Krista

maybe it's salsae, Gwen :)

8:35 pm

featherbee

i force myself to do it right away as much as possible. longest the basket ever sat is one day. it's such a morale booster to see the room look better almost instantly!

8:36 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

it's a non-traditional plural: salsoom LOL

8:36 pm

Scrabbler

**thinking of Jerry Seinfeld + George Costanza saying "Salsa, salsa."

8:36 pm

Krista

true confessions: two days ago I put things away from a clothes basket that I use to clean off kitchen table in Dec. Found lots of interesting things I had been looking for.

8:36 pm

lbdawger

angelina jo**e

8:37 pm

Jacula

Now I've found an sn5/10 so I can be nasty! LOL

8:37 pm

lbdawger

oops, wrong vowel...but you can play with it.

8:37 pm

featherbee

it's ok kirsta. i have a clothes basket down in the garage that has miscellaneous things in it from when we moved in to this house...several years ago! just seems to be one of those things i never get to.

8:38 pm

Scrabbler

TY, dawger--I figured it out.

8:38 pm

Krista

Are we finished Jacula??? Back to work!

8:38 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

ah, the joys of finding things you thought you'd never see again! 8-)

8:38 pm

Krista

They are like little time capsules! Yeah, that's it! It's fun to look through them years later.

8:38 pm

featherbee

LOL!

wtg jacula ~~~ !!!

8:45 pm

Krista

trying to get rid of my clutter, and just picked up a carload of books from my mother's house..is there a site you can recommend for selling them/researching prices? I've sold some books on eBay, but find listing them very tedious..thought about donating them to the local AAUW book sale, but would like to at least know what I am donating. Some of them are from the 1800s; the oldest is 1802!!

8:45 pm

Scrabbler

14 to go....

8:45 pm

lbdawger

go, scrabs, go!

8:46 pm

Scrabbler

Wow, Krista--those must be worth some $$$$!

8:46 pm

DR1965

Go Scrabs!

8:46 pm

Jacula

Mylast word was an le4 that follows the things you walk on. Made me think of a lift sc5/12 between Goldie Hawn and Peter Sellars in a Pink Panther film.

8:46 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

krista, i agree, ebaY is tedious, but might be your best venue if 1) you are an anatuer and 2) you want to get the most $4 you can. however . . .

8:46 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

(amateur and $$ i meant)

8:47 pm

hillary

can anyone help with the last ra6/18?

8:47 pm

hillary

sorry lb, just saw your clue

8:47 pm

Scrabbler

I clued it below for you, Hillary.

8:47 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

however, you have other options, and I would start with your local used book dealer: call and ask if they can give you a free appraisal on them. if you have more than 3 or 4, though, then just bring the best loking 3 or 4

8:47 pm

tygerbryght

hey, peeps

8:48 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

(best looking) (oy)

8:48 pm

Scrabbler

Sorry, Hillary, I typed AR instead of RA. Silly Scrabbler.

8:48 pm

lbdawger

hi tyger

8:48 pm

Scrabbler

Hi Tyger

8:48 pm

tygerbryght

krista, there is a Book Board on eBay. many pro sellers hang out there, and some of them are very nice about helping people figure out what their books are worth

8:48 pm

tygerbryght

hey, scrabs, dawg

8:48 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

most used-book dealers can are at least willing to look over a few books, but won't look over a whole ton of them for free advice

8:49 pm

mkg

fi 8 and 7 please?

8:49 pm

Krista

not sure, Scrabbs, but they were certainly fun to look through..made me sick how she got them...the Episcopal church behind our house was cleaning out the rectory sometime in the 70's...my brother came running home with armloads of these books...which they were burning on a bonfire! ACCKK..a former parishoner..in 1899, according to the bookplates, donated them to the church

8:49 pm

tygerbryght

what gwen said - when you've got a big bunch, the cheapest route by far is to do your own research. there is lots of info available online, entirely aside from the eBay book board

8:49 pm

Scrabbler

That is awful Krista! Oh, how I love books!

8:50 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

if these books have any serious value they cannot be evaluated sight unseen

8:50 pm

Jacula

Last ra6/18 is plural Indian princesses.

8:50 pm

hillary

tks all for your help... i find it hard to switch back and forth in time... then when I go to type a message my fingers turn into thumbs

8:50 pm

Jacula

Etend the ra5/10 before it.

8:50 pm

lbdawger

mkg, fi5.16 + two vowels

8:50 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

krista, if you would like to send me an email ( gwenfoss@netrek.net ) I can give you more detailed advice . . .

8:50 pm

*feels faint* burning them? bonfire? ack!

8:50 pm

8:51 pm

ok, thank you very much, Gwen...I appreciate the advice..I will try it all..online research, local,etc.

8:51 pm

Jacula

Burning books?? *swoons*

8:51 pm

tygerbryght

krista, don't forget the eBay book discussion board

8:51 pm

featherbee

*leans against jac* let's steady each other

8:51 pm

tygerbryght

I've seen lots of people get help there (useta hang out there)

8:51 pm

Jacula

Okay, feather, let's do that.

8:51 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

tyger, how does one find this book board on ebay? (she hesitates to ask)

8:52 pm

tygerbryght

I agree, jac & feather, that's the horridest thing I've heard in a while

8:52 pm

jillibus

krista -- have a look at abebooks.com

8:52 pm

Krista

Yes! Isn't it awful? And most of them were NOT church books, which I don't think have much value. There was a first edition Nathaniel Hawthorne book at one time..not sure what happened to that one.

8:52 pm

featherbee

my freshman college roommate once stepped on a book i had let fall of the edge of my bed when i was reading in bed and tore the cover. i never forgot that.

8:52 pm

Scrabbler

Fireworks--TY all for clues!

8:52 pm

Jacula

Erm... feather, what happens when one of us wants a wee or when one of your kids wakes up?

8:52 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

some books are only good for using as winter heat sources. like romance novels and old phone books!!

8:52 pm

Well done, Scrabbs.

8:53 pm

hmm....someone want to get us some chairs here?

8:56 pm

Krista

I'm with ya, guys! I'm still reeling from the story.

8:56 pm

Krista

They are in the car...bad idea?

8:56 pm

Jacula

Burning books, aside from being a horrible reminder of 'Reformation' times, isn't great for the environment. Paper and card rot down without any nasty gasses and without any need for fumes from burning. Think of all the Mills and Boon novels used for pulp under the M6 motorway extension he4 in UK.

8:56 pm

Scrabbler

Time for bed--I did not sleep well last night. TY all for clues. See you tomorrow. (Krista, listen to the Book Doctor.)

8:56 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

oh, i guess the car is okay. i was thinking a shed or something

8:56 pm

jillibus

I have 49 left, now tackling the R words -- maybe. I'm not enjoying this grid -- too big and too full of obscure and archaic words -- a waste of time IMHO

OK, on the eBay community page, there is a link for discussion boards. on the discussion board page, you'll see Category Specific Discussion Boards, and under that, one for booksellers

i need help with the third sa5/10, any ideas?

9:00 pm

Jacula

Damn it, feather. You're 43 points ahead.

9:00 pm

tygerbryght

problem with eBay is it's one of those websites where the idiot programmers do MULTIPLE writes to all the cookies for each page as it loads

9:00 pm

Krista

we were just talking about Little Bear today at my parents' house..we love it still..wish they made new ones

9:00 pm

chrisk

oops that's ge the 4th - ge the third is the plural of hair ge*

9:01 pm

Jacula

ea5 is very keen, MKG.

9:01 pm

tygerbryght

3rd sa5/10 is alternate spelling of India woman's dress

9:01 pm

eieios

mkg, ea5 sometimes paired with beaver in describing someone avid about something.

9:02 pm

Jacula

hillary - 3rd sa5/10 is Indian garment for females with a diff. spelling. Not one vowel but 2 of another.

9:02 pm

featherbee

don't worry jac, too many vowels right now to do much

9:02 pm

Krista

WOWZA...10pm already...thanks for the chat, all..see you again soon

9:04 pm

problem when one is referring to Indian is to discriminate between people from the sub-continent and N Amer natives :P

9:04 pm

tygerbryght

yay, monk

9:04 pm

tygerbryght

go, harp

9:04 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

9:05 pm

lbdawger

go harp go!

9:05 pm

Jacula

sub-continent word, tyger, for the woman's garment. Long length of cloth wrapped around and about in a very clever fashion that I've still not quite got the hang of. But I will!

9:05 pm

lbdawger

whooo hoooo MONKEY!

9:05 pm

lil*monkey

whew! I really had to ra6 that grid!

9:07 pm

featherbee

9:07 pm

lil*monkey

mkg, er7 is er + if you skin your knee, it's called an abr*****

9:08 pm

lil*monkey

the other er is er + football player Howi* **** (hope you watch football)

9:08 pm

Jacula

mkg - 1st er7 = scraping away of flesh surgically. Like the 'wearing away by sea on rocks' word but diff. 2nd vowel. er7/36 is old poetic word for 'soon' or 'before too much time has passed'.

9:09 pm

Jacula

lilmonkey - her in Midlands of UK we call that knee injury a 'scrage'. Bet that's not in the Enable dictionary.

9:10 pm

eieios

i have the ge 8. what does the other start with?

9:10 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

ty jacula!

9:10 pm

9:11 pm

Jacula

9:11 pm

tygerbryght

fi8/55 is plural

9:11 pm

tygerbryght

eie, other is fi8

9:12 pm

eieios

good to know.

9:12 pm

Jacula

fi8/55 is plural of the fi7/40 before it, which extends the fi5.16 before it, which extends the fi4/7 before it.

9:12 pm

Jacula

LOL

9:12 pm

tygerbryght

gwen, did you find the book board?

9:13 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

yep, tyger, thanks. in fact the fiurst post i looked at seemed more intelligent that i expected (joke!)

9:13 pm

Jacula

Well, monkeym I think it's a Brummie/Black Country (West Midlands) UK word.

9:13 pm

tygerbryght

satnrose is one of those who are very nice about helping people

9:13 pm

lil*monkey

UK people, are you familiar with "cockney slang" where one uses a different rhyming word for something else? Like "i bounced a Gregory" (Gregory PECK rhymes with check)

9:13 pm

tygerbryght

yw, gwen

9:13 pm

eieios

is it the fi 4/7 that is a homonym for a type of dough?

9:14 pm

Jacula

Monkey - yes, but sometimes translating it needs some thought.

9:14 pm

tygerbryght

monk, didja know there's a website explaining those? (I can't get to it; it's on the other PC) :(

9:14 pm

lil*monkey

no offense, but it's the stupidest thing i've ever heard

9:14 pm

tygerbryght

yes, eie

9:14 pm

Andree

hi eveyone

9:15 pm

tygerbryght

or at least I thought it was; I checked, and dic said it was a threadlike structure

9:15 pm

tygerbryght

hey, andree

9:15 pm

tygerbryght

monk, the object of cockney slang is to be impenetrable to outsiders :P

9:15 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

lil, seriously, you've never heard of any thing stupider than rhyming slang? like pet rocks or anything?? 8-)

9:15 pm

lori ann

Hi all...back to see if I can get my last 120!!!

9:15 pm

tygerbryght

good luck, lori

9:16 pm

Minveryork

Hello lori ann!How are you doing?Welcome to the grid

9:16 pm

lil*monkey

hmmmm, i think the cockney accent itself makes understanding them impenetrable to outsiders

9:16 pm

tygerbryght

ec4?? I'm finished, lori, and I don'ts gots any ec words

9:16 pm

eieios

what wrong tip, tyger? i am still trying to monkey it.

9:16 pm

tygerbryght

LOL, monk

9:17 pm

tygerbryght

the root word for the 8 has a different vowel ending than the dough word

9:17 pm

hillary

ge5/14 ?

9:17 pm

lil*monkey

but I do agree, pet rock is stupid too

9:17 pm

lori ann

woops, I can't read my own writing tyger. I went to the list and wrote the wrong letter down. LOL

9:18 pm

Jacula

Rhyming sl5/14 has it roots in reason, as does the code spoken in WW2. I can't remember what my M-I-L spoke then but it had its roots in Navajo.

9:18 pm

lil*monkey

ge5,14 is flying honking birds

9:18 pm

tygerbryght

ge5/14 - large birds (pl) - domestic ones are mostly white

9:18 pm

hillary

thanks --- so obvious yet so hidden

9:18 pm

lori ann

I'm doing well minn...thanks for asking hope all is well with you.

9:18 pm

clue for cr 5 12 second one please??????????

9:18 pm

tygerbryght

yw, hill

9:19 pm

lil*monkey

Bf's mom's husband ( a Brit) says rhyming slang was started so cockney blokes could discuss things in front of police and not be understood

9:19 pm

Jacula

No weather forecasts were broadcast in WW2 and all place signposts were removed.

9:19 pm

tygerbryght

2nd cr5/12: a container for holding a fisherman's catch

9:19 pm

tygerbryght

oops, that's the 3rd one

9:19 pm

2nd one is another large bird

9:20 pm

Minveryork

cr 5/12:cr plus another word for butt or donkey mkg

9:20 pm

lil*monkey

9:20 pm

tygerbryght

this bird just happens to be one that also fishes :D

9:20 pm

9:21 pm

lori ann

Make that EL 5,10

9:21 pm

tygerbryght

1st re6/18 is another word for logic

9:21 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

lil*monkey, that story rings true, although I can't confirm it from the point of view of heavy research. there are many examples of "new languages" (variations on English) invented for such purposes

9:21 pm

Dorens

a + lo4

9:21 pm

Minveryork

That ee 4/4 word is a slippery water animal hillary.

9:21 pm

Jacula

snakey in water things, hillary.

9:22 pm

tygerbryght

:D monk

9:22 pm

tygerbryght

nite, dorens

9:22 pm

Jacula

She's tutored me (a former Latin student) in it, but I still don't get it. LOL

9:23 pm

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

9:23 pm

tygerbryght

9:24 pm

lil*monkey

9:25 pm

Andree

need se5/14 and next 4 se words please, seem to be blind to them

9:25 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

9:25 pm

Jacula

Twas brillig and the slithey tothes di gyre and gimble in the wabe... kind of agree with you there, Gwen.

9:25 pm

hillary

last two cr6/s, any clues?

9:25 pm

Andree

gibberish is what my 18month old grandaughter speaks, lol

9:25 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

jacula, that is Carrollish, not Gibberish LOL

9:26 pm

lil*monkey

TY dr. gwen... still learning "text speak"

9:26 pm

Jacula

In My Not So Humble Opinion, monkey.

9:26 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

no, there is a specific English code-language called Gibberish

9:26 pm

harpjane

the last lo5?

9:26 pm

lil*monkey

is text speak called Gibberish?

9:26 pm

Jacula

Love Carollish, Gwen!

9:26 pm

lil*monkey

plural of not short, harpjane

9:27 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

The Gibberish that I know is purely oral, and I learned it about 30 years ago. text speak is something that came along after the world wide web, as far as I know

9:27 pm

Jacula

It's perfectly understandable to any scholar of the English language but not to 'Jerry' foreigners. LOL Which was the point.

9:28 pm

harpjane

oh, i have something in the wrong order....

9:28 pm

Jacula

Lasty lo5 is verb form of the aeons before it. You want him... you yearn for him.. youy lo5 for him. LOL

9:29 pm

Hi Everyone -- finally made it home this afternoon -- already miss that lovely warm weather in Palm Desert!

9:31 pm

doxy1lover

hi nan

9:31 pm

Jacula

Text speal gives us things like 'c u l8r'. ??? Ah! 'See you later'.

9:32 pm

hillary

i'm struggling with the se5/14 myself andree but i can tell you that the last two you asked about are plural of vaccine and the same with added consonant.

9:32 pm

mkg

la 5 10 please and the 6 18 after it?????????

9:32 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

text speak must have evolved from vanity license plates LOL

9:32 pm

Jacula

However, 'see you later', a term coined in the 80's/90's... didn't mean what it seemed to. No not later today. Sometime, anytime, maybe never. Oh LOL.

9:33 pm

Jacula

That one still gives me gyp!

9:33 pm

Jacula

(Annoys me!)

9:34 pm

hillary

mkg think the first three letters of a word meaning big and add a double vowel, then plural

9:34 pm

hillary

25 left and life's too short. bye all
