3:06 am
sprite
lolol yes, th4 one is pestering me too.

3:10 am
sprite
lynxxx, when someone pokes a dagger in your upper extremity, wouldn't it be called an ar*st**?
3:11 am
lynxxx
lol - are you getting desperate Sprite?
3:11 am
sprite
can you tell? :)
3:13 am
sprite
I also keep seeing humanitas, which wouldn't even be valid if it weren't a phantom.
3:18 am
sprite
desperation can be useful, though. Pr6. 2 syllables, no plural. Weird word.
3:18 am
sprite
former aluminium coin of Israel.
3:19 am

and st6. Makes me think of bacteria, might be all off though.

3:20 am
sprite
wtg lynxxx. Biggies out of the way, this is a tricky grid as you already said. But fun.
3:20 am
lynxxx
and I think you are on the right track
3:21 am
sprite
looked it up, it is indeed the short form of what it reminded me of. A random brain can be so handy, lol.
3:22 am
lynxxx
and got that last th...TY
3:23 am
sprite
yay! I am down to 16, and pretty sure they are unwords, lol. Or so plain I overlook them.

bwb... back with breakfast :)
3:36 am
sprite
hm, no unwords so far, just hard-to-spot ones. I like this grid.
3:36 am
lynxxx
down to 11 but only top row all greyed
3:37 am
sprite
top row and 2nd column here, down to 12. Are you having fun?
3:38 am
lynxxx
its not bad, I have the 2nd column too - we must have same words
3:39 am
sprite
I think so too. Might mean the last few are nasty, though :)
3:41 am
lynxxx
last column done
3:41 am
sprite
ok, found one nasty one. hu4/7.
4th column done.
3:44 am
sprite
and a tu5 looking like a plural, but singular is not valid
3:44 am
lynxxx
how many hu4.7s are there? I already have 1
3:44 am
sprite
there are 2.
3:45 am
lynxxx
tu5.14? the paint cleaner?
3:45 am
sprite
yes, that one
3:46 am
sprite
the hu4/7 nasty one looks like it is a mathematical weirdo, like the sinh.
3:46 am
lynxxx
yes, just found it TY again
3:49 am
sprite
ah, the pr6 has a shorter brother
3:50 am

4:02 am
bfsog

4:05 am
sprite
oops... next time tell me to sh4 up then, lynxxx.
4:07 am
lynxxx
Not at all Sprite!! I am meaning, for instance, when the grid starts - way too many people and talk. I deliberately avoid that time now
4:08 am
sprite
ah, when the chat flies by faster than I can read, lol. Ok, but if I chat too much, just tell me. I am off for today, thanks for the great company, fun and help. *hugs*

Diving in too

LoriP
***drains the pool, watches for reaction***
7:07 am

Not at all, it was HER fault
7:08 am
FMitch

Hello Vicuna!
7:45 am
lil*monkey
how can a Xmas tree be slutty?
7:45 am
FMitch
and Vi too how lovely
7:45 am
Haz1558
Yes, I was reading back in the log. Madame Lori has some explaining to do.
7:45 am
Anniebrook

7:45 am
FMitch
Thats what we are waiting to see lil*m
7:46 am
lil*monkey

7:46 am
Vicuna
Apparently the tree has tassels on its ti4/4.
7:46 am
72 Temple Owl
oo, what did i miss?! (hi vi)]
7:46 am
Vicuna
Motorized ones.
7:46 am
Haz1558
Is it the sort of tree la Jordan would have?
7:46 am
lil*monkey
LOL vicuna
7:46 am
Vicuna
At least, that's the impression I've gathered from the log.
7:47 am
EvaNadine
mornin babblers!
7:47 am
Haz1558
Oh good, Vicuna, I'm not the only one to read back. Were you not shocked at Lori?
7:47 am
Haz1558
Hello EvaN!
7:47 am
FMitch
i, I think you might need to get your eyes tested or your imagination tempered a little
7:47 am
Vicuna
Good morning, EvaN!
7:47 am
Anniebrook
morning, EvaN
7:47 am
EvaNadine
how is everyone today?
7:48 am
72 Temple Owl
hi evan
7:48 am
Haz1558
I'm well, thanks, EvaN, though considerably wind-tossed.
7:48 am
Vicuna
I didn't read back far enough to be shocked at Lori, I'm afraid! I only got as far as what was still on my screen! What naughtiness has Lori been up to this time?
7:48 am
Haz1558
She stuck out her tongue at me. Can you imagine?
7:48 am
carleekat
ok..slutty tree in place
7:48 am
lil*monkey
it had nothing to do with me, Haz
7:49 am
Vicuna
Disgraceful! And in absentia, too? That's just childish. Tsk tsk.
7:49 am
FMitch
How can you take a man seriosly when his name is Darling! Our Chancellor who is giving the annual Budget sppech for those that were even vaguely not interested :)
7:49 am
Haz1558
Listen, I get blamed for all sorts. Somebody last night asked for a clue for the undergarment, was told that they didn't have it, but that it was something to do with Haz!?
7:49 am
carleekat
is like our premier..dalton...how can ANYONE take that name seriously
7:50 am
Jacula
Afternoon 'well-balanced and sane' people.:-)
7:50 am
Haz1558
It's the fact that his eyebrows and his hair are two different colours that bothers me.
7:50 am
carleekat
ok..the SLUTTY tree in place
7:50 am
FMitch
Haz that goes down in history as The Classic moment
7:50 am
carleekat
hi there jacs
7:50 am
lil*monkey
are you going to explain, carlee?
7:51 am
Haz1558
Sorry, Jacula, if it's well balanced and sane, I think you're in the wrong place. Hello there!
7:51 am
Vicuna
*looks around anxiously, wondering where the well-balanced and sane people are*
7:51 am
carleekat
i did lil... its all tarted up..full of cheap coloured baubles... its my slutty xmas tree
7:51 am
FMitch
Im a bit disappointed, it's rather pretty carlee *grin*
Afternoon Jacs
7:52 am
lori ann
I'm back all...any help with the ta5 12 please
7:52 am
Haz1558
I don't think it's slutty, I think it's a lesson in embellishment.
7:52 am
lil*monkey
*pondering the meaning of 'slutty' tree*
7:52 am
Haz1558
ta5/12 - a plural for ta4/5
7:52 am
Vicuna
I don't know, carleekat. Unless there are details I'm missing it looks more overwrought than slutty! Possibly gaudy...
7:53 am
Vicuna
A trifle baroque...
7:53 am
Haz1558
Garish might be the worst thing I could say about it.
7:53 am
lori ann
Haz, that must be the only 4,5 I don't have?
7:53 am
Haz1558
But I think its morals are intact. It's a well-meaning tree.
7:54 am
lil*monkey
i have to leave for work! i hope i can see the tree later, carlee
7:54 am
carleekat
there... a close up
7:54 am
Vicuna
I agree, Haz. I see no evidence that it is a lost tree or a fast tree!
7:54 am
Haz1558
ta4/5 - ta plus female possessive minus the vowel
7:54 am
Haz1558
It's an anagram for the cardiac sounding h4/5
7:54 am
FMitch
ROFL only in babble would a tree's sluttyness or lack of it be debated.
Much more amusing than the budget speech though
7:55 am
Haz1558
Definite baroque overtones - I think you're right, Vicuna.
7:55 am
carleekat
i tuck it back amongst some other stuffs on a cupboard at xmas time..and it picks up the dining room light...sparkles appropriately... and gives a bit of colour
7:55 am
Vicuna
Whoooeee, carleekat! No doubt about it, though, that is a tree that likes its bling!
7:55 am
lori ann
Thank you, Thank you, Haz!!! It would have taken me all day to get that one!!
7:55 am
Haz1558
You're welcome, lori - take note of it for it'll appear again, it's a bit of a babblet.
7:56 am
carleekat
its a tree with personality..and it makes me laugh...
7:56 am
FMitch
Absolutely!!
7:56 am
Vicuna
Well, then it has not lived in vain! =)
7:57 am
carleekat
( much more interesting then a budget speech anywhere...
7:58 am
o-o
those who are baroque may want to consider bankruptcy relief
7:58 am
FMitch
98 words and 925 points :)
7:58 am
Haz1558
What astounds me is that they give all these details and then within about two minutes the Shadow Chancellor is on his feet pointing out the disadvantages.
7:59 am
Haz1558
His capacity to stay interested is amazing.
7:59 am
Haz1558
Congratulations FMitch!
7:59 am
carleekat
<POMPOM TWIRL> for fm..woot woot...
7:59 am
carleekat

Bye carlee
8:00 am
EvaNadine
"I had no Monet to buy Degas to make the Van Gogh!"
8:01 am
Haz1558
The summary - blah blah blah, tax on cigarettes, blah blah blah, tax on fuel, blah blah blah, tax on alcohol, blah blah, tax on breathing, blah blah blah.
8:01 am

I'm back. Went to see son off. He's flying to Amsterdam today.... if flight goes. It's still very windy here. Can't see a thing now as it's bright outside and my specs have darkened. LOL
8:02 am
Haz1558
He's a plucky one prepared to fly in that!
8:03 am
FMitch
Didn't realise it was another self portrait in your icon Jacs :)
8:03 am
Vicuna
You would have Botticelli, but you only had enough money for a Viola?
8:03 am
Jacula
Spent last night collecting other peoples recycling boxes (2), beer cans and bottles off our drive. Am still collecting flying rubbish now... which is more than the bin men are. No sign of them yet.
8:04 am
Jacula
FM - LOL. I need a shave.;-)
8:04 am
Haz1558
Jacula - don't you know that they'll have been grounded by Health and Safety?
8:04 am
EvaNadine
hints for the lonely lower A word?
8:05 am
feenixcat
can I get clue for un6,24 please?
8:05 am
Jacula
at + your little mother, Evan.
8:05 am
Jacula
Haz - Quite possibly.
8:05 am
Haz1558
un6/24 - plural of un5/14 - add an item of headgear.
8:05 am
EvaNadine
well, fish me for that one! thanks jac!
8:06 am
feenixcat
thanks!
8:06 am
Jacula
Time for a cuppa. *Wanders off to make one.*
8:06 am
Haz1558
You're welcome.
8:06 am
Vicuna
It's appropriate to have the second ur4 with today's theme.
8:07 am
Haz1558
Yes, indeed.
8:07 am
FMitch
You clever thing, I hadn't made that connection.
8:08 am
Haz1558
You deserve a gold sticker for that.
8:08 am
Vicuna
*tries on a smug for size*
8:09 am
richp
How many words today, anyone?
8:09 am
Vicuna
Nice and cozy, but a little bit itchy.
8:09 am
Haz1558
Speaking of smug, where is Atalante?
8:09 am
FMitch
mmm suits you.
8:09 am
Vicuna
98, richp.
8:09 am

Thanks, Vicua!

8:10 am
FMitch
I don't know Vi, I can't see past your bum
8:10 am
Haz1558
No, it's very becoming. What about the back view, though?
8:10 am
Jacula
ROFLOL, FM.
8:10 am
Vicuna
Or perhaps I should say ph4.
8:11 am
Vicuna
Well, FM, if you'd stop grovelling on the floor beneath me, you'd have a better view of my head.
8:11 am
FMitch
Ata, ATAAAAA where ae you?
8:12 am
Vicuna
AAAAAAATTTAAAAAAAAAA!
8:12 am
Jacula

Hi pab...

8:14 am
Jacula
What's the betting that if I make myself a bacon sarnie for lunch the bin men will arrive just as it's nearly ready? All the recycling stuff is in my porch. I need to run out and catch them if they ever come.
8:14 am
Haz1558
pr plus the Osmond state
8:14 am
Jacula
Hi, Pab. You're in the grid today, along with Ursh and Hursh.
8:14 am

It's a near certainty, Jac, all bets are off.

Her ears are a bit of a problem sometimes, but husband just keeps putting in the ear drops/cleansers etc. Spangle is very long-suffering and just lets him get on with it.

Scarlet
We are now at 10:16 a.m., DST, westford.
9:16 am
Scarlet
We are on the Eastern Seaboard, so we are not in a different time zone than you are.
9:16 am
westford
ok that's what the computer says I'll go by that
9:16 am
westford

LadyNatts
Scarlet, I beg to differ.... I still have 40 left.
9:24 am
nancethefan
hey lady & bfsog
9:24 am
LadyNatts
hi nance
9:24 am
Scarlet
Isn't it amazing how different we all are, Lady? Some days I think the grid is "unattackable", and others, it flies...
9:24 am
bfsog
hows the grid treating you
9:25 am
Scarlet
So far, so good, bf. I just started, but down to 26 left.
9:25 am
LadyNatts
it usually flies for me once I open lickety's clues... maybe I should do that.
9:26 am
bfsog
i flew through the grid this morning,
9:26 am
Scarlet
I opened Lickety at 45 found, Lady. When there are so many consonants, I get grid blindness.. LOL
9:26 am
LadyNatts
oh good... glad I'm not the only one
9:27 am
Scarlet
We are not alone in our Babble oddness... there must be 500+ people who do this on a daily basis... and I am willing to bet that there are 500+ ways to approach the grid! :-)
9:28 am
LadyNatts
true that, Scarlet. True that.
9:30 am
pabtrek
I try to tough it out, especially on a small grid like this, sometimes I go to the chat log for the day and get clues that way, list is last resort unless I'm in a hurry :)
9:30 am
LadyNatts
bah, it doesn't accept them...
9:31 am
LadyNatts
me too pab... but eventually I stall. Today I stalled with 40 left.
9:31 am
Scarlet
I usually do too, pab, but today, I am giving in early... LOL. I have tons of little chores ahead, and have no excuse to goof off with the grid... LOL
9:31 am
pabtrek
I have 9 left, must be a good day for me
9:32 am
Scarlet
Wow... you're sailing right through it, pab!
9:32 am
EricJohnson

9:32 am
Scarlet
I have 17 left, and it's whizzing by! The same one, Eric.
9:33 am
EricJohnson
Thanks!
9:33 am
LadyNatts

9:34 am
Scarlet
You're welcome. Glad to meet you. Is this your first visit to BabbleOnia? LOL
9:34 am

9:34 am
LadyNatts

LadyNatts

9:35 am
EricJohnson

9:35 am
LadyNatts

LadyNatts

EricJohnson

9:47 am
EricJohnson

9:47 am
nancethefan

Scarlet
Aha! There ARE non-wooters among us!!
9:57 am
nancethefan

9:57 am
LadyNatts
I was just thinking that, nance... my god, are you all mind-readers?
9:57 am
Scarlet
Yes we are. Closet wooters have mysterious powers, Lady.
9:58 am
LadyNatts
ohh! I was looking at the wrong t ... the one that didn't work a plural.. ty
9:58 am
nancethefan

9:59 am
Scarlet
Airplane. Three of diamonds. Woodchuck. Wow... I amaze myself!
9:59 am
LadyNatts

9:59 am
nancethefan
LOL - by golly, by gee - we are mind readers
10:00 am
nancethefan
i wish i could mind meld with y'all to get some of these words - lol
10:00 am
Scarlet
The Vulcan Mind-Meld is off track this morning, nance... Mr. Spock is on his honeymoon.
10:01 am
nancethefan
and lady, that's exactly what i was thinking, also
10:01 am
LadyNatts
I just monkeyed today's th6, nance. It was a new word for me.
10:01 am
nancethefan
well rats
10:02 am

10:02 am
OrangeCat
hi all. i'm filled with hope i'll be successful with today's puzzle! 98?? whats the catch?!
10:02 am
LadyNatts
the catch is weird words, orange
10:03 am
Scarlet
Oddball words are hiding in here, OrangeCat... but, for the most part, it is fairly simple.
10:03 am
nancethefan
hey cat - i find the smaller number of words, the more difficult to find them - but that's just me
10:03 am
LadyNatts
it is NOT just you, nance.
10:03 am
Scarlet
True, nance.
10:04 am
Scarlet
I just found some more oddballs...

Scarlet
Ooops, Eric...
10:05 am
LadyNatts
who, for instance, has ever heard of tu5, 14?
10:05 am
nancethefan
what's the estimated time y'all think we spend in here trying to locate words everyday?
10:06 am
Scarlet
Depends, nance... even with some big ones, you can sail through fairly quickly... and one like this can cost you two hours... not today, though.
10:06 am
EricJohnson
i havent, yet i guessed it
10:06 am
Scarlet
LadyN... I have heard of that... it is a nickname word for a resin.
10:06 am
nancethefan
ut o - penalty box - since you are new, you only have to stay there 10 minutes. but please be careful. the next time it happens, i've heard there is caning involved
10:06 am
LadyNatts
oh really? see how much we learn here?
10:07 am
Scarlet
When did we start caning?
10:07 am
OrangeCat

10:18 am
LadyNatts
I used to work in a liquor store, peri - parttime - in addition to my fulltime day job... good gin would be sapphire. and good vodka .... hmmmm... hard to say
10:18 am
godthaab
Vodka = Standart (usually written in Cyrillic- this is a letter for letter translation)
10:18 am
Scarlet
My mother used to keep the bottle in the freezer.
10:18 am

godthaab, I saw that brand but did not know that one either, thanks
10:20 am
periwinkle
the man in the store said that Grey Goose is made from potatoes and has a heavy potato flavor. I love tatoes but don't want to drink them :-)
10:20 am
nancethefan
i didn't realized u lived in NC scarlet. I used to live in hendersonville
10:20 am
LadyNatts
that's what vodka is supposed to be made of, peri
10:20 am
godthaab
It was given to me by a Russian in St. Petersburg (Russsia). He claimed it was the best.
10:20 am
redturtlehead
Peri, I think all thoseheavy flavors get really burnt out by the alcohol....but then again, I cant recall when I last had a drink of anything.
10:20 am
Scarlet
If you don't care about supporting the Russian manufacturers, peri... there's always Stoli... I don't know how to spell the rest of the word, but Stoli is what everyone calls it.
10:21 am
mkg

10:21 am
nancethefan

nancethefan
scarlet? isn't there a tunnel in asheville where the locals always blow their horns as they drive through it?
10:23 am
Judi
Really, Peri? Never heard of vodka from wheat, unless it's part of the distilling process and they have to list wheat for those with allergies.
10:23 am
LadyNatts
oh eric, remember, I had to go to clues when I got down to 40 left

LadyNatts
I've often wished the same, Eric.
10:26 am
nancethefan
i asked it at 10:23 lol
10:26 am
Scarlet
No, nance... the chat has been flying.
10:27 am
Scarlet
Oh, yes. The BeauCatcher Tunnel right outside the city... on the way to the Asheville Mall.
10:27 am
LadyNatts
blow their horns?
10:27 am
LadyNatts
Beaucatcher???
10:28 am
nancethefan
yep - thanks - that's the one - one of my friends took me through it - it was a hoot - everyone was blowing their horns
10:28 am
nancethefan
lol silly lady
10:28 am
Scarlet
Yep!! It's a bit of a joke that kids can grope one another in the relative darkness of the tunnel, but it is a short bit of darkness... LOL
10:28 am
LadyNatts
one is supposed to find a beau by blowing car horns?
10:29 am
Scarlet
No... announcing that they had been...er... ah... successful in the groping department... LOL
10:29 am
LadyNatts
lol... I always say, I learn something new every day here
10:29 am
Scarlet
Do your REALLY need to know this tidbit of Asheville history, Lady? LOL
10:29 am
nancethefan
it is - i wasn't told about the groping though - phew - i'm glad i made it through there safely - LOL
10:30 am
LadyNatts
oh nance, you are killing me, I am laughing so hard
10:30 am
EricJohnson
apparently slang works, a ghetto word for cool
10:30 am
nancethefan
well our horn was blowing but i wasn't groped - lol
10:31 am
LadyNatts
foreign language words work as well, eric, but it's hit and miss (some do, some don't)
10:31 am
redturtlehead
Only someslang Eric, the enable dictionary is very odd....especially since that cool wordis notreally used too much anyore.
10:31 am
nancethefan
i used to go the the Fletcher flea market - have you been there scarlet?
10:32 am
EricJohnson
thanks turtlehead
10:32 am
Scarlet
You were one of the few, then, nance... my beloved and I are simple travellers... no groping. I should paint one of those circle signs with a red line slanted through it and two shadowy people with arms around one another and put it on the bumper.
10:32 am
Scarlet
No, nance... but the Farmer's Market of Western NOrth Carolina is right down the road from us.

11:22 am
redturtlehead
Ahh Nance, I quit drinking soda about 2 years ago, everyonce in a while now, but i rarely drink the stuff.
11:22 am

nancethefan

11:23 am
redturtlehead
I feel alot better for it. but it wasn't easy.
11:24 am
nancethefan
especially if you drank sodas with caffiene in them - it will give you a killer headache for about a week
11:25 am
LadyNatts

11:25 am
redturtlehead
I have not been able to give up coffee, but...At least I am not drinking whatever is in the diet drinks.

11:43 am
nancethefan
crap seems to be a very popular word in the chat today
11:43 am
LadyNatts
and his breed typically tips the scales over 100lbs
11:44 am
redturtlehead
Lady you are brave. Teulu is done at about 78 pounds. and that is enough for me.
11:44 am
LadyNatts
ah no bravery about it, red... the giants are the gentle ones.
11:45 am
redturtlehead
But I have 3 months goals for my next contract, and dealing with his not being wellsocialized is one ofthem.
11:45 am
redturtlehead
Teulu is not very gentle, but I suppose he is only mid-sized.... :)
11:45 am

Babblet is a loose term. It generally just means funny little words that come up with surprising frequency in the grid but very low frequency in actual life.
1:30 pm

2:08 pm
FMitch
jilli I think you are the best transformation so far, so regal!
2:08 pm
jillibus
ok, you're forgiven, FM but you should take the blame for using it, lol!
2:08 pm
nancethefan
stid - what type & what are your blocks used for?
2:08 pm
Vicuna
Jilli, I agree about the dreadfulness of the Disneyfied version of Pooh et al.
2:09 pm
Atalante
you were a fab transformation, jill!
2:09 pm
stidmama
I only do things like that occasionally nance, I prefer to make stencils (though haven't had time for it this year)
2:09 pm
Vicuna
Yeah, I saw, stidmama. I love the way the petals and the leaves are almost reverses of each other.
2:09 pm
FMitch
I take the blame for most other things so why not poor Mr Sauders(?)
2:09 pm
stidmama
I had trouble recognizing Jill in her Cartlandised-pic
2:09 pm
jillibus
well, shucks, but ata was too kind!
2:09 pm
stidmama
thanks Vi. I was happy with it. A couple places I wish I hadn't carved out quite so much.
2:10 pm
jillibus
FM, I found a black and white Mr Sanders in Google Images for Pooh Bear
2:10 pm
jbp
it's way cool stid.
2:11 pm
stidmama
but that is the sort of thing that only more experience takes care of
2:11 pm
nancethefan
that's wonderful - before this darned depression got me, i used to needlepoint, cross stitch, quilt, stencil borders - o loved crafting.
2:11 pm
FMitch
That was just the sort of thing I was looking for jilli, c'est la vie.
2:11 pm

2:12 pm
Atalante
I can tell when I'm feeling depressed, I want to cross-stitch
2:12 pm
stidmama
you know nance, one of the things that helps me a lot when I am depressed is a small project. A very small one. Even a tiny little card can brighten my mood.
2:12 pm
stidmama
later Jill!
2:12 pm
jbp
well, it wasn't even a word.
2:12 pm
stidmama
did it work jbp?

FMitch

2:14 pm
stidmama
oh well... *looks harder*
2:14 pm
Atalante
of course lol
2:14 pm
nancethefan
thanks, stid. i am, or was, the type of person who wouldn't start with something small & easy - the prettier, largest & most difficult projects were the ones i wanted to so.
2:14 pm
jbp
i keep looking at that B and feel like there must be a mackerel smack coming my way, but I just can't break it
2:15 pm
jbp
(break it = turn grey)
2:15 pm
stidmama
oh, I see nance. for me, big usually means "unfinished" LOL I am a short and simple mind, and my projects must be likewise.
2:15 pm
Vicuna
I do some big and some small, but I do find that projects that seem as if they never will be finished start to loom rather depressingly.
2:15 pm
nancethefan
i'm proud of myself - i have finished a quilt top, & am long-basting the back to i can using the sewing machine to complete the edge & i'll be ready for hand-quilting - it means so much to me to have made it this far
2:16 pm
Vicuna
That's a big project all right, nance!
2:16 pm
stidmama
nance, that is WONDERFUL!!!! what an exciting thing to accomplish. how proud you must feel!
2:17 pm
nancethefan
i always tried to challenge myself. i have a dozen or so cross stitch pieces completed & all i need to do is get them framed - i can't even seem to get that done - but i will - will y'all help me with moral support?
2:17 pm
Atalante
woot nance!
2:18 pm
nancethefan
lol @ woot
2:18 pm
Vicuna
Do you like your moral support in the form of daily nagging?
2:18 pm
jbp

2:20 pm
stidmama
nance, shipwreck beads is a local outfit to me, they have a catalog and bill themselves as having the "world's largest selection of beads" -- I know the woman who goes around the world to find new sources. They have WONDERFUL beads
2:20 pm
sadie52
i had finished several victorian town pieces but no clue where they are got lost in the divorce somehow
2:20 pm
jbp
i did some a few years ago that went over well; I bought hollow glass ornaments and filled them with flat back sequins and beads... super easy and everyone loved them!
2:20 pm
nancethefan
have you seen the beautiful cross stitch angels with the flowing gowns & spectacular colors?
2:20 pm
nancethefan
the patterns i mean
2:20 pm
stidmama

2:22 pm
nancethefan

2:22 pm
jbp
Their website also has cool pattern instructions, if you're into that, for jewelry or stitching or weaving or whatever
2:22 pm
Atalante
I like Lavender and Lace

2:22 pm
stidmama
hello monkey!
2:22 pm
FMitch
oh have you got the web address handy jbp?
2:23 pm
jbp
I recommend playing with polymer clay
2:23 pm
jbp
you can make tiles similar to fabric, and use them to cover stuff like picture frames and it's very theraputic and pretty
2:23 pm
nancethefan
i was trying to figure out how string beads around styrofoam balls - any ideas how to keep them on without gluing?

Ive been making paper beads for a change, very satisfying. Thanks jbp
2:24 pm
lil*monkey
nance can you use straight pins (stuck straight into the foam ball)
2:24 pm
stidmama
i haven't tried that exactly jbp, but did have fun making some large beads once.
2:24 pm
jbp
if you string the beads ahead of time, I find that hairspray can make them adhere while you're stringing. also there are little upside down V things you can stick into the styrofoam
2:25 pm
jbp
there are a LOVELY poly clay beads all over flickr if you look for them.
2:25 pm
Vicuna

2:25 pm
jbp
I did the paper beads for awhile, but I didn't feel like I had as much creative control somehow.
2:26 pm
Dindrane

Jill is an artist par excellence!!!! she did landscapes, portraits, and even did commercial print ads for a clothing store in the 60s (or was it the 70s) -- blew me away when I first saw it all
3:16 pm
nancethefan

3:22 pm
stidmama
many of us suffer from depression/anxiety, don't we? But I will say, since finding Babble, I am a lot less anxious, a lot more able to cope with social situation, and a lot more comfortable showing people when I make something pretty.
3:22 pm
CadFan
Still seeking: How many 6 letter s's are there? How many 6 letter t's?

3:23 pm
LadyNatts

3:24 pm
Atalante
england is a special place. I generally don't like it, but it is very special
3:24 pm
LadyNatts
lol... alright, you're forgiven, then :)
3:25 pm
stidmama
well atalante, you are welcome to come visit us any time you are tired of the city... which reminds me: did your friend in oregon recover okay from the december storms? is her house okay now?
3:25 pm
LadyNatts
doesn't every place have its own specialness? I would love to go everywhere and see everything... alas, the lottery gods are not smiling on me
3:25 pm
stidmama
new computer nDan?
3:26 pm
Atalante
its just about ok now *and* I'm coming over *twice* this year. To Astoria
3:26 pm
LadyNatts
different computer than the one he started with, stid.
3:26 pm
nDanLia
different library - had to do school p/ups
3:26 pm
nancethefan
atalante - how beautiful - do you know that patterns like y'all's can be made into cross stitch patterns? That may be something that y'all could add to your business - You only have to grid the pattern & select floss colors (numbers). Being a cross stitcher myself, i would love to have choices of patterns like y'alls to select from.
3:26 pm
Atalante
everywhere has its specialness, but there's just something about the UK. its so old. continually old
3:26 pm
stidmama
I understand that entirely, LadyN -- of course, I am not big on travel, but... it would be nice to see some of these places just once
3:26 pm
nancethefan
I don't know if you would be interested, but i'm sure there would be a market for them.
3:27 pm
Atalante
I know, nance. When I get a few weeks spare, I'm going to try and get some designs taken up by a few of the major cross sticth companies. I'd rather do that than make up packs on my own
3:27 pm
LadyNatts
true, stid. I think I was a brit in a former life.... and perhaps an Egyptian in another.
3:27 pm
pugmama763
Good day / evening my fellow Babblers I'm off to finish the chores (sigh)If only homes were self cleaning.....
3:27 pm
Vicuna
That's a great idea, nance. I'm sure you're right.
3:28 pm
stidmama
have a great rest of your day pugmama!
3:28 pm
Vicuna
Goodbye, pugmama.
3:28 pm
stidmama
I think I shall follow suit, I've been awake for three hours, and feel the need for a nap... *sigh* being sick stinks.
3:28 pm
Atalante
awww *hands stiddy some nice warm tea*
3:28 pm
LadyNatts

3:30 pm
nancethefan
hey uniquity
3:30 pm
Uniquity

3:30 pm
Kazozz

3:30 pm
LadyNatts
ata, I must say, you are extremely talented. do you make any living from your art?
3:30 pm
Atalante
I know ... I really must get round to sorting out some cross-stitch piees
3:31 pm
Vicuna
pa5/14 - some sort of Persian nobility, pa4/6 + vowel
3:31 pm
Vicuna
un6/27 - not injured
3:31 pm
Atalante
about 1/2 and 1/2, LadyN. I'm working towards the being a full-time artist. *crosses fingers*
3:31 pm
FMitch
Ata perhaps you and i should ut our heads together
3:31 pm
Vicuna
Don't ut them together too hard.
3:31 pm
Atalante
we should
3:31 pm
nancethefan
would you just create the grid for others to do the needlework?
3:31 pm
Kazozz
slap slap ty on the un clue
3:32 pm
nancethefan
FM - r u the one with a website?
3:32 pm
nancethefan
who has the quliting website?
3:32 pm
Atalante
I'm not sure, nance
3:32 pm
Kazozz
and thought i had tried that pa, but obviously not! fireworks for me, and many thanks for the help!
3:32 pm
nancethefan
sorry for all the chat, but this is exciting to me
3:32 pm

That's Fiber Art.

I am the One! but not with a website
3:33 pm
Vicuna
FM getting all messianic on us.
3:33 pm
LadyNatts
is that a word, vicuna?
3:33 pm
nancethefan
ty vic
3:33 pm
FMitch
well its better than me saying I am a one *grin*
3:33 pm
nancethefan
u are a quilter?
3:34 pm
FMitch
Ata I have a s/w prog that converts pics to grids
3:34 pm
Vicuna
sure, LadyN.
3:34 pm
Vicuna
I make quilts by way of a hobby, nance. I only give them away and never sell them.
3:34 pm
LadyNatts
it took me some time to figure it out, but I guess it is!
3:35 pm
Atalante
oooo those are fun, fm
3:35 pm
LadyNatts
I don't think I even know how to sew... though I did sew a few things back when I was pregnant with my now 18-y-o daughter.
3:36 pm
FMitch
yes its specific for cross stitch
3:36 pm
Atalante
I can't sew at all, except for cross-stitch
3:36 pm
Vicuna
I love the piecing, but don't care for the actual quilting. But as I'm too stingy and too much of a loner to send them out for someone else to quilt, I'm always stuck with the job in the end.
3:37 pm
Uniquity
I love cross-stitches
3:37 pm
nancethefan
Vic - do you quilt and carve?
3:38 pm
FMitch
I'd forgotten how stunning Caterbury Catheral is, want to see York Minster again now.
3:38 pm
LadyNatts
all the good talents skipped a generation in me... my mother is a gourmet cook, does petite pointe, hardinger embroidery (and heaven knows what other kind), quilting, and on and on... I didn't inherit a single talent!
3:38 pm
Atalante
the cathedral is just stunning. its amazing
3:38 pm
nancethefan
yes FM - are you a quilter?
3:38 pm
Vicuna
The block prints are my "professional" thing. The quilts are a hobby.
3:39 pm
Vicuna
LadyN, maybe you're the one born to Babble!
3:39 pm
LadyNatts
lol vicuna! I guess so. Words are best strength.
3:40 pm
Vicuna
The hobby I'm itching to dive into tomorrow is pysanky eggs. Has anyone ever tried those? They are really fun.
3:40 pm
FMitch
I've done a couple nance but prefer freehand embriodery on smaller pieces.
3:40 pm
FMitch
heads to google immediately
3:40 pm
LadyNatts
oh! vicuna... that's where I CAN lend you a hand...
3:41 pm
nancethefan
why are you running to google fm?
3:41 pm
LadyNatts
beeswax... elastic bands... eggs, of course....
3:41 pm
Vicuna
Goodness, LadyN! If you can do that, how dare you say you have no talents?!?
3:41 pm
FMitch
gosh they are beautiful
3:41 pm
LadyNatts
the elastic bands are to guide your lines
3:42 pm
FMitch
to look up pysanky eggs
3:42 pm
nancethefan
ok Lady - where i can i look at your artwork?
3:42 pm
Vicuna
I've done them for several years over at a friends house, but last year after Easter I bought my own stuff so I can do them whenever I want... In theory, at least...
3:42 pm
LadyNatts
I grew up making them, Vicuna. I even bought books to tell me what symbols to use.
3:42 pm
Vicuna
Still waiting for a day with a nice big block of time.
3:43 pm
Atalante
time? whats that?
3:43 pm
Vicuna
I don't pay much attention to the traditional symbols or colors. They're interesting to learn about, but I just base my designs purely on looks.
3:43 pm
LadyNatts
nance, I have no artwork to display. my daughter's artwork is on display (check my profile)
3:44 pm
Vicuna
Exactly, Ata. *sigh* But I have high hopes for tomorrow.
3:44 pm
LadyNatts
yes, but the history is so intriguing.. I always used to like adding a symbol or two, whether people noticed or not.
3:44 pm
nancethefan
which site do i look at the pysanky eggs & are they yours lady?
3:45 pm
FMitch
type it in google nance and it will bring up loads
3:45 pm
Vicuna
That would be fun, LadyN.
3:45 pm
redturtlehead
Just changed my icon...So I am checking it. It is actually one of the themes.
3:46 pm

3:49 pm
GroovyKiwi
nice to see all those i usually dont see at nightly flip :)
3:50 pm
Vicuna
Oh, yeah. We used to do projects with tearing up scraps of that and wetting them.
3:50 pm
FMitch
What a good idea Lady
3:50 pm
LadyNatts
as i recall, we'd put them in boiling water with a splash of vinegar.
3:50 pm
LadyNatts
throw the eggs in there after you've done your design, and voila
3:51 pm
Vicuna
Good idea.
3:52 pm
FMitch
and if all else fails turn into egg salad
3:52 pm
LadyNatts
and there is no end to the number of colours you can get from those
3:52 pm
72 Temple Owl
i've used onion skins - a german custome - lovely monochromatic look. You can hold leaves and such in place with nylon stockings and make lovely patterns
3:52 pm

4:04 pm
Atalante
only 4s and 5s. I shuld be able to monkey them
4:04 pm
LadyNatts
grey means there are either no words with that letter or that you have found all the words with that letter...
4:05 pm
LadyNatts
also greyed on the word stats, meaning there are no words with that number of letters or that you have found all the words of that number of letters.
4:05 pm
Jindigo
Thanks much LadyNatts
4:05 pm
Wendy612

KatieMcG
Crumble the one in my icon eats like a bin, Rhubarb eats a lot for her size and Custard hardly eats anything
4:26 pm
westford
the vet gave us special food but she doesn't care for it so we try tempting her with anything
4:27 pm
ylleria

4:27 pm
westford

4:27 pm
LadyNatts

4:35 pm
pythonx
good idea west
4:35 pm
westford
well her cat was Gracie and it was a male..they couldn't come up with a name so the vet just wrote Gray C ( for cat ) on his record
4:35 pm
pythonx
lol ylleria
4:35 pm
LadyNatts

4:35 pm

i've just had a crappy, crappy day, you know?
4:58 pm

ylleria ... you can do it with our help!!!
4:58 pm
KatieMcG
What has gone wrong yll?
4:59 pm
o-o
crappy days may be quite moving
4:59 pm
ylleria
thanks, mo, but i think today is not the day for me to struggle on
4:59 pm
ylleria
i was in a car accident this morning, apparently i have whiplash :s
4:59 pm
ylleria
and a good friend ended up being referred by emergency appointment to a psychiatric hospital
5:00 pm
KatieMcG
Oh no yll, even without the whiplash it is really upsetting never mind being hurt, and bad news on your friend just hits you when you are down.
5:00 pm
o-o
So sorry, ylleria. Hope you get proper treatment and expeditious relief
5:00 pm
KatieMcG
Hopefully your friend will get the help they presumably need
5:01 pm
ylleria
i'll be fine, just a bit stiff and sore for a few days, i guess
5:01 pm
ylleria
yeah, my friend is actually quite positive about it now
5:01 pm
mo
oooh so sorry ...
5:01 pm
Aussieme
oh holy moley, thats not good ylleria.... I hope you get better soon, and try and keep the fsith for your friend....

May your friend look back on today as the day his life got better
5:02 pm
Aussieme
well worded babRab...
5:02 pm
ylleria
i called him earlier and he seemed fairly positive, although very groggy
5:02 pm
KatieMcG
Sometimes accessing the help is the hardest thing. You hear so much about people who know they need it and want it but can't be taken seriously
5:02 pm
KatieMcG
Babble you do always know the right thing to say :-)
5:03 pm
ylleria
that's a lovely way to put it BabRab, thanks
5:03 pm
mo
yller ... sorry to be flipant ... didnt realise the seriousness of things ... hope everything turns out well.

dawg, I volunteer at our old library along with about 150 others, managing desk staff, shelvers and such. We need a new building. About a month ago we had a leak in the roof so you can probably imagine what happened! Thanks to the unpaid volunteers going up and beyond, plus one of our two pros (the other was sick at the time) all is back to normal now.
9:41 pm
jillibus
And now I must go and have some supper. Back afterwards. Sorry to interrupt the clueing

9:46 pm
jillibus
Thanks to ht elocal grocery store (!) we didn't lose a lot of books. About 400 were soaked and stored in their freezer, which apparently dries them out. Then 400 boxes were filled with dry books, tapes and such while the library was dried out, and we had to wait for three days without rain until the roof could be repaired. That took a while -- rainy season on the Wet Coast. But now it's done, thank goodness, and all those boxes unpacked and back in place.
9:46 pm
Mom
that is wonderful news Jillibus.
