Hello all you trouble makers...

2:29 am

herinfernallady

I can't explain how to help your itchy spot. I can only explain it by steeping and soaking a washcloth and wringing it near dry and dabbing it on the itch

2:29 am

KIMMYDEE

2:29 am

herinfernallady

Hey i resemble that remark

2:34 am

KIMMYDEE

7:45 am

Scrabbler

Hi Jane

7:45 am

Anniebrook

scrabbs, that is wonderful news!

7:46 am

Scrabbler

Mary needs to get stronger. She needs a walker and someone at her side, and her left side is weaker, but she and her husband and the older kids are SOOOO happy to have her at home.

7:47 am

Anniebrook

scrabbs, last I read the tumor had shrunk considerably. will she regain the strength in her left side?

7:49 am

Scrabbler

We hope so. It bothers her a lot.

7:49 am

tingtong

how many words today?

7:49 am

Anniebrook

I will not stop praying for her

Hello Babblers

7:50 am

AsGreen

I lost track of the time, and now have to run too - bbl!

7:50 am

Scrabbler

TY, Annie--Mary is determined to be a long-term survivor. Her husband and the kids need her.

7:50 am

Scrabbler

Hi tingtong and pabtrek.

7:50 am

Anniebrook

anyone want any clues before I go into the world? Hi Pab, bye green

7:51 am

7:51 am

Scrabbler

Oh, Annie, I am struggling so much with this grid and have found only 24 words. I may open the list and end my suffering.

7:51 am

pabtrek

hi ting

7:51 am

Anniebrook

scrabbs, list away!

7:52 am

Anniebrook

what I meant was, of course, go to the list

7:52 am

Scrabbler

I am typing some silly words, just to find something.

7:52 am

tingtong

Hi

7:52 am

Scrabbler

Oh, OK, Annie, I first tilted on the chair here, LOL.

7:53 am

Scrabbler

TY for that direct clue, tingtong, as my brain is ad***d with this grid.

7:54 am

Anniebrook

ting, that was a great clue

7:55 am

Scrabbler

The list is an immense help, Annie!

7:55 am

Anniebrook

Yes, it most certainly is

7:55 am

tingtong

yw scrabbler!

7:56 am

tingtong

i am new to this and have never chatted before, forgot which box I was in!

7:56 am

Anniebrook

so if noone wants any clues, I am off! *poof*

7:56 am

Anniebrook

welcome to babbleland, ting!

7:56 am

burken

I am still a newbie and I am going backwards. I have found 26 words today

7:57 am

Anniebrook

welcome, burken, bye!!!

7:57 am

burken

See you later

7:57 am

FMitch

26 words is good start for a grid like this now or not!

7:58 am

burken

Thanks that makes me feel better. I have been trying a few days now and never seem to find more than a third.

7:58 am

Scrabbler

Welcome, tingtong & burken. We all place words into the chat occasionally. Sometimes we do it so we can get treats in the penalty box.

7:59 am

Scrabbler

Some grids are easier than others.

8:00 am

Vicuna

No, no, no, Scrabbler, don't mis-educate the newbies! You're never supposed to put words in the chat! Never never never! (Only sometimes they do just end up there somehow anyway!)

8:00 am

FMitch

I started the same burken, a lot of words are not normal every day ones but you'll remember more of them as time go by.

8:00 am

FMitch

LOL Hi Vi ... and anyway the PB is shut

8:01 am

Scrabbler

Yes, we never do it on purpose, but if we do it is not a crime, unless Hazel is here.

8:01 am

Vicuna

Yes, I heard, FM. The ankle irons were getting so outdated. And is the ribbon to be pink for the grand reopening?

8:01 am

tingtong

I will try and behave in future, I have to go now, but will be back tomorrow

8:02 am

burken

I use British spelling and find that I am learning more American versions day by day. No offense meant. I am Australian and some of our words are not recognized.

8:02 am

FMitch

Bye tington :)

8:02 am

Scrabbler

Will the traction device be removed too? And has Hazel decided to stop the waterboarding torture?

8:02 am

Vicuna

Goodbye, tingtong. See you later.

8:02 am

Scrabbler

Bye tingtong

8:02 am

burken

Night Tingtong

8:03 am

Vicuna

Don't you know waterboarding isn't torture, Scrabbler? Not when we do it, anyway.

8:03 am

burken

hiya

8:03 am

Scrabbler

It isn't torture for the person doing it.

8:04 am

Vicuna

Exactly, Scrabbler! Because nothing we do is torture! Only when other people do it to us. I can see you're ready for a career in the administration.

8:04 am

Scrabbler

I believe that I am qualified to be a bureaucrat.

8:13 am

burken

Pardon me but what is the "list"?

8:13 am

toadandtoadette

I want to put in beefy... its not there grrrr

8:19 am

Scrabbler

I just found the theme word for this grid. we5/20!

8:19 am

toadandtoadette

I'll throw fe4 at you... whatever that word means

8:20 am

toadandtoadette

8:20 am

FMitch

Thank I always try to spell that wi not we

Scrabbler

Yes, Une!

8:21 am

Vicuna

Me, too, FM. That's one of my words that I never get right.

8:21 am

toadandtoadette

because of the rule, I before E except after C, it breaks the rules

8:21 am

8:22 am

Haz1558

Hello all.

8:25 am

well, I guess it could be the same vowel, just depends on how you pronounce it

8:26 am

Vicuna

Oh, thanks, Une. (Had to go supervise piano practice for a second.)

8:27 am

FMitch

One second is that all the time you make you child practice?!

anyone have a clue for the f?

8:28 am

Vicuna

Well, actually it pretty much is, FM! They're only 5 and this is not supposed to be high-pressure, get them on stage by age 7 as child prodigy stuff! Each week they are assigned one song, and each day I make them play the song through one time.

8:28 am

Vicuna

Bye, burken.

8:28 am

Haz1558

fe4 - fe plus male possessive,minus the vowel

8:28 am

Vicuna

fe4/8 - excalmations of disgust (abbblet)

8:29 am

Vicuna

*babblet, that is, * exclamations, those are

8:29 am

nancethefan

thank you haz

8:29 am

FMitch

Thats good ideas Vi, I had so much pressure on me to play as a child it killed any enjoyment I might have got.

8:29 am

Judi

I like abbblet, too, Vic.

8:30 am

Ouwachita

any clue for the be6? last one I need

8:31 am

Vicuna

That's too bad, FM. I never took piano lessons and didn't start cello until I was older, but I adored it.

8:31 am

KristineNas

tyvm

8:31 am

Haz1558

be6/30 - looks like a word for chaos, two letters swopped.

8:31 am

I've kept a lot of my sheet music so that should I be able to get a piano ni the future I can start again.

8:32 am

FMitch

Going to put the kettle on. back in a mo

8:32 am

Haz1558

Will the new refurbished PB have a piano for jolly singalongs?

8:32 am

Uneaixoise

me too, fmitch--also have some of my mom's ooooold sheet music, like Shirley Temple songs!

8:32 am

Haz1558

Vicuna spends very little time in the PB so we should be safe.

8:32 am

Uneaixoise

oh, fab idea, haz!!

8:32 am

Vicuna

We don't have a piano, actually, but we just bought a reasonably decent electric keyboard for the kids to practice. They're surprisingly affordable.

8:33 am

Vicuna

The keyboards, not the kids.

8:33 am

Uneaixoise

beautiful icon, vicuna

8:34 am

Vicuna

Thanks, Une. I like it, too. Although it's left over from the day Earth was the theme. I'm out of date on my planets.

8:35 am

Vicuna

Ha ha ha, Haz. Maybe I need to start typing more words in chat just to torment you.

8:35 am

Haz1558

That's a catch 22 situation, isn't it?

8:36 am

Vicuna

Or maybe I'll just sing without typing words first...

8:36 am

Vicuna

"When you walk through a storm keep your head up high..."

Uh oh! Keep singing, Vic!

8:37 am

8:37 am

FMitch

Who se t Vi off singing?

8:37 am

Haz1558

Spangle has started to howl.

8:37 am

Uneaixoise

is a golden sky and the sweet silver song of the lark

8:37 am

Judi

LOL.

8:37 am

Vicuna

Was that a flopping entrance, or a flop at my singing, Ata? In either case, hello.

8:37 am

Haz1558

Hello Atalante!

8:37 am

FMitch

LOL
Hi flopsy :)

8:37 am

Vicuna

That would be Haz, FM.

8:38 am

Haz1558

You can't blame me - not while FM is here to be blamed for everything.

8:38 am

Judi

If you can't walk on, Ata, as long as you're down there - you might as well crawl on.

8:38 am

Atalante

a flopping entrance of course! your singing is quite - special

8:38 am

Atalante

just been for a 3 hour walk with the hound

8:38 am

Haz1558

Atalante is set for a career in the diplomatic service.

8:39 am

Vicuna

Awww, thanks, Ata! You're so tactful. But how come no one is appreciating Une's lovely singing?

8:39 am

Haz1558

Either that or she's going to be 'the good judge' in al those talent shoes where Simon is the nasty one.

8:39 am

FMitch

Talent shoes? my my

8:39 am

Atalante

I only want to be judging if John Barrowman is judging too

8:40 am

Haz1558

Talent shoes. Worn by clever clogs.

8:40 am

Uneaixoise

they're hoping I'll go away if they ignore my dulcet tones! LOL

8:40 am

Vicuna

Are your purple high heels talent shoes, FM?

8:40 am

Judi

Perhaps if you wore your talent shoes, you wouldn't flop.

8:40 am

FMitch

But he is not of that pursuasion Ata

8:40 am

Atalante

I know *sigh* but I could still stare longingly at him

8:41 am

Judi

I guess that means Mr. Barrowman would be wearing light loafers?

8:41 am

Vicuna

Okay, I must go read "Old Turtle" to the sprats. Back in a mo.

8:41 am

FMitch

*whispers - Ladies I am worried about Haz, she is making sp mistake and that is not like her at all*

8:41 am

Atalante

8:44 am

Haz1558

Just while we're on the subject, (we're not really but thought I would raise it), who is going to open the new PB when it opens?

8:44 am

Atalante

Toyah

8:44 am

Haz1558

Have we any A list celebrities lined up?

8:45 am

Haz1558

Please, not Heather Mills. Her speech would go on for eveeeeeeeeeer.

8:45 am

FMitch

ZZ Top?

8:45 am

Haz1558

As in Dr_G?

8:45 am

FMitch

well as in the band that Dr_G likes

8:45 am

Atalante

John Barrowman. Or Hayden.

8:46 am

FMitch

Torchwood team? Ata will be going which one is Owen?

8:46 am

Haz1558

Imran?

8:46 am

Atalante

aha! I know that now!

8:47 am

tygerbryght

hey, peeps

8:47 am

Atalante

but who was the guy at the end of the episode??

8:47 am

Atalante

8:47 am

FMitch

Ahhh that would be telling, you will just ahve to wait and see

8:47 am

tygerbryght

just popping in for a mo - uploaded my list. think I'll take the day off :)

8:47 am

Atalante

thats not helpful LOL

8:47 am

Haz1558

Imran is politician, sportsman and all round decorative man. I think he's pretty multi-purpose.

8:47 am

Haz1558

Hello tyger.

8:48 am

Vicuna

Haz can ask Liam Neeson's mother to ask him to come.

8:48 am

FMitch

Hello tyger, do you work for yourself?

8:48 am

tygerbryght

Haz. I think that's what most of us need - a multi-purpose man ;D

8:48 am

Haz1558

Ah yes, Kitty should get on the phone to him.

8:48 am

tygerbryght

mitch - I work for nobody; been that way for almost 10 years now

8:49 am

tygerbryght

but today's grid was so ... brief. I've got the whole day free, now

8:50 am

FMitch

Oh tyger there was a marvellous programe on last night with hidden cameras in the jungle filming the daily comings and goings of a tiger and her cubs.

8:50 am

tygerbryght

what I need to do is draft several days' worth of blog posts, Just In Case we get another run of big grids

8:51 am

tygerbryght

really? was this one of the shows that comes our way eventually?

8:51 am

tygerbryght

I didn't mean to upset the whole conversation. I saw HM mentioned (not E2R), and just had to find out what was going on

8:52 am

FMitch

I would hope so BBC1 and David Attenborough, always a brilliant combination.

8:52 am

tygerbryght

oh, yeah - it surely is a brilliant one

8:53 am

Judi

Yawn. Fireworks.

8:54 am

tygerbryght

not a big fan of Macca, but have never liked the (now) ex

8:54 am

tygerbryght

yay, judi

8:54 am

Haz1558

Congratulations Judi.

8:54 am

FMitch

Are you blase Judi or still waking up? Congratulations too :)

8:55 am

pabtrek

congrats Judi

8:55 am

tygerbryght

too ... preachy

8:55 am

Haz1558

tyger - I had never liked her either, and worried that I had been prejudiced by the bad press. I think my gut instinct has been proved correct.

8:55 am

FMitch

HM is not a popular person for most (myslef included)

8:56 am

Haz1558

So, no takers for membership of the Heather Mills Appreciation Society?

8:56 am

tygerbryght

when you see someone who has clawed their way up from the streets, ya gotta respect that, but when somebody takes a voluntary dive first ... well. discretion is a more appropriate virtue

8:57 am

KristineNas

anybody have a clue about the two e's on the bottom?

8:57 am

tygerbryght

or at least it seems so to me

8:57 am

FMitch

No thank you Haz

8:57 am

tygerbryght

kris - one is the variant spelling of the 5 letter word for weird

8:57 am

pabtrek

the only admirable thing about Heather Mills is the guts it took for her to be on Dancing with the stars

8:58 am

KristineNas

ok ty

8:58 am

FMitch

Ummm tyger said a worrrrrd

8:58 am

Haz1558

I don't deny that she has physical courage and a determination to overcome, but....

8:58 am

FMitch

Had forgotten about that pabtrek as it was over your side of the pond.

8:59 am

tygerbryght

oh, crud. sorry. well, you guys said you wanted someone to check out the upgraded PB :P

8:59 am

FMitch

Don't think so tyger as I haven't finished building it yet *grin*

8:59 am

Haz1558

It's not open yet. We're all agog for the new and improved version.

8:59 am

pabtrek

she would have done better just to keep her mouth shut, she protested and attacked too much to be totally innocent

8:59 am

tygerbryght

the word in today's grid that fascinated me was the one for the ancient Irish spelling word

9:00 am

tygerbryght

work fast, mitch :D

9:00 am

Haz1558

HM doesn't do discretion.

9:01 am

tygerbryght

well, she's been discreet about her Arab boyfriends, hasn't she?? :P :P :P

9:01 am

tygerbryght

or am I dignifying the relationships? :P

9:02 am

FMitch

lol

9:02 am

Haz1558

Where's Ata when HM's relationships are being discussed? She usually has something tactful and diplomatic to say.

9:02 am

tygerbryght

I really shouldn't be ugly like this.

9:03 am

tygerbryght

but HM ... *invites* it so

9:03 am

Haz1558

It's okay. I read the High Court judge's statement with my chin on the floor.

9:03 am

FMitch

Probably getting tea or something if she and Hobbit were out for 3hrs.

9:04 am

tygerbryght

haven't read that, haz. should I?

9:04 am

Haz1558

Either that or producing another masterpiece.

9:04 am

tygerbryght

yeah, a cuppa after 3 hrs walk sounds ... desirable :)

9:04 am

FMitch

whilst putting a wash on and completing sudoku, all whilst being smug :)

9:04 am

Haz1558

Yes, tyger, you should. It was on timesonline and made for illuminating reading.

9:04 am

Atalante

i'm here - just on the phone!

9:05 am

FMitch

multi tasking!!

9:05 am

tygerbryght

I read a news report about the verdict, but it was mostly about HM offering advice to other women outside the courthouse

9:06 am

Haz1558

Do look it up, tyger, I was amazed at how candid the judge was.

9:06 am

tygerbryght

oops. timesonline got me the Beaver County & Allegheny Times ... not, I presume, what you meant

9:07 am

EvaNadine

mornin babblers!

Haz1558

9:09 am

Haz1558

Hello EvaNadine.

9:09 am

tygerbryght

I had to google, to find The Times. that's astounding, that a dinky US rag could preempt the venerable Times, where web IDs are concerned

9:09 am

billmster

9:09 am

tygerbryght

I googled for The Times, and got the real thing :D

9:09 am

9:13 am

tygerbryght

not all of us, mitch! :) I live in a brick apartment building

9:14 am

FMitch

Thas why I put it as a pt tyger, I was trying to be as uninflamitory as possible :)

9:15 am

tygerbryght

LOL

9:16 am

FMitch

as for the d4 that is not nice to Italians or Spanish .. well!

9:16 am

tygerbryght

Nathaniel Hawthorne wrote a book titled The House of Seven ga6/30

9:16 am

tygerbryght

yeah - an inflammatory grid :D

9:17 am

tygerbryght

2 other versions of the GA in grid

9:17 am

FMitch

or there was the "Anne of Green ... " version

9:17 am

Vicuna

ga5/18 - actor Clark up on the roof

9:17 am

FMitch

Anyway that is me done for cluing Bill hope that helps

9:17 am

EvaNadine

or actor Clark GA***

9:17 am

tygerbryght

true - Maud Montgomery is one of my all time favs

9:18 am

FMitch

Oh good one too EvaN

9:18 am

tygerbryght

see saw, Marjorie da* (PT in grid)

9:18 am

tygerbryght

of course, that's not a Real Word (TM)

9:19 am

Haz1558

I'm often accused of being ba5/28 and le4/9 in my humour - Benny Hill?

9:20 am

tygerbryght

don't forget ba4/11 - once upon a time, the term for a "fallen woman"

9:20 am

FMitch

*Shocked look* you are Haz ?????

9:21 am

tygerbryght

when drops of water sprinkle the grass at dawn, it's described as be5/24ed

9:21 am

FMitch

Will have to get Ata to do you as Nell Gwyn.

9:21 am

tygerbryght

sometimes I feel as though my wits are ad5/14 (PT)

9:21 am

Vicuna

Or maybe Haz is impersonating Mae West.

9:22 am

tygerbryght

the word in the grid I just clued is NOT pt, tho

9:22 am

tygerbryght

Vic, I think you've got it! :D

9:22 am

FMitch

Time out tyger, we want to leave some words for Bill to find along!

9:22 am

tygerbryght

thx, mitch. I'm exhausted anyway :)

9:23 am

Atalante

ok I'm back properly now!

9:23 am

tygerbryght

WB, ata - NOW we shall do! :)

9:23 am

FMitch

Oh sorry Ata we areall just leaving

9:23 am

FMitch

Only joking!!

9:23 am

Atalante

9:23 am

tygerbryght

9:23 am

billmster

ya/5boat movind from side to side

9:24 am

billmster

ya/5boat movind from side to side

9:24 am

billmster

9:24 am

Haz1558

Last one out turn off the lights.

9:24 am

AsGreen

I'm back - hoping to pop in, use the list, finish the grid! 45 to go for me

9:24 am

tygerbryght

hey, green!

9:24 am

AsGreen

hi tyger!

9:26 am

FMitch

Ata sudoku is good today

9:26 am

tygerbryght

one more clue I *wanted* to give: La be6 sans merci (variant spelling)

9:27 am

billmster

og/4 Pictish script

9:27 am

FMitch

LOL tyger

9:27 am

Vicuna

lol, tyger. It would have a very different connotation, though. And all those art nouveau artists who love to illustrate it would not have nearly so much fun.

9:27 am

Haz1558

By 'sudoku is good today' do you mean that lesser mortals could conquer the sucky ducky game?

9:27 am

tygerbryght

bill - I mentioned that one about the time you came in

9:28 am

tygerbryght

o'course, the spelling in the grid is more consonant with the "old hag" variant

9:28 am

FMitch

It is as quriky as babble but yes Haz.

9:28 am

billmster

Boss says we must do the dishes!

9:28 am

FMitch

Hope that 'we' doesn't include us too bill!

9:29 am

Haz1558

And you know she's right, bill.

9:29 am

phaeton

Good Morning! How many today?

9:29 am

tygerbryght

glad to help all I can from 4K miles away :D

9:29 am

Lizsark

:)))) Haz, FM

9:29 am

Haz1558

Well, hello Liz!

9:29 am

Haz1558

Hello phaeton, 74 words today.

9:29 am

pabtrek

hi phaeton and Liz

9:29 am

FMitch

Hellooooo liz :))

9:30 am

tygerbryght

hey, phae!

9:30 am

Vicuna

Hello, Liz. Hello, phaeton.

9:30 am

phaeton

9:30 am

FMitch

9:30 am

Atalante

9:30 am

Lizsark

9:30 am

Haz1558

Keep going, phaeton!

9:30 am

tygerbryght

phae, there's a ton of clues back in the log a few minutes, if you want them

9:31 am

Lizsark

He's feeling a bit sorry for himself Ata

9:31 am

Haz1558

She's fine, thanks. She's a dog who can pass chocolate. Not like Oscar!

9:31 am

AsGreen

***having a tough go at the be's - have the 5/24, not the other two

9:31 am

Atalante

awwwwww poor boy

9:31 am

phaeton

i got them tyger except the og word, that clue confused me

9:31 am

Lizsark

Oscar cant pass anything even resembling food

9:31 am

tygerbryght

do you have it now?

9:32 am

Atalante

was he very sick?

9:32 am

Haz1558

be5/16 - be plus the beginnings of Samson's nemesis (as sung by Tom Jones)

9:32 am

AsGreen

tx haz!

9:32 am

Haz1558

be6/30 - looks like the chaotic hospital for the confused, switch round the middle consonants.

9:33 am

Lizsark

Ata he wasn't sick at all but you do NOT wanna know about his other end *bleugh*

9:33 am

tygerbryght

cloth that will accept color is said to be dy6/33

9:33 am

Atalante

*cringe* I don't think I do ....! As long as he's ok, though

9:33 am

tygerbryght

liz - he blew you away?

9:33 am

Lizsark

thanks for that one Haz :)

9:33 am

AsGreen

tyger said a woooooooord

9:33 am

Lizsark

thank you Ata he's going to be fine

9:34 am

AsGreen

still thinking haz

9:34 am

tygerbryght

oh, no.

9:34 am

Atalante

and how did your son take the lack of eggs?

9:34 am

tygerbryght

I think it's time for me to go

9:34 am

tygerbryght

I keep putting my foot in it.

9:34 am

Haz1558

Or be5/16 - three letters for where you sleep, first two letters of England's QUeen

9:34 am

AsGreen

nope, can't get the be6 :(

9:35 am

Haz1558

be6 - first three of something that rings, last three, something that stops water

9:35 am

FMitch

Back.

9:35 am

lshult

be6/30 sounds like something you ring + a wall holding back the water

9:36 am

AsGreen

you rock Haz - thx!

9:36 am

Haz1558

You're welcome, As.

9:36 am

phaeton

AsGreen, be6...doorbe*l and what keeps water back in a river

9:36 am

tygerbryght

later, all *poof*

9:36 am

phaeton

Late

9:36 am

AsGreen

got it - but thx Ish and phae!

9:36 am

Haz1558

Bye tyger.

9:36 am

Vicuna

Goodbye, tygerbryght.

9:36 am

phaeton

bye tyger

9:37 am

AsGreen

ooooh, bye tyger!!

9:37 am

FMitch

Bye tyger

9:37 am

phaeton

thanks for all the clues

9:37 am

FMitch

Liz, does the trek feel a bit like a dream now you are back?

9:38 am

Vicuna

When you get home and unload your groceries, I think you could be said to debag them.

9:39 am

Vicuna

And due to his wealth, Donald Trump is unexpectedly weddable.

9:39 am

FMitch

Wasn't debagging something they did at Oxford or Cambridge or was it Eton?

9:39 am

phaeton

You can debug, but i guess you can't debag

9:39 am

Vicuna

Yes, I've come across it in novels of the 30's, I think.

9:39 am

Haz1558

But I thought women married him so that they would know the secret of the hair?

9:39 am

phaeton

No he's not, he's wedded

9:39 am

AsGreen

I like every one of the e words today!

9:39 am

FMitch

removing trousers?

9:39 am

Atalante

the hair is a secret?

9:39 am

Vicuna

It's a secret?

9:40 am

Haz1558

There used to be Oxford bags (trousers) so I think it's probably related to University high jinks..

9:40 am

Haz1558

Oh yes. It's been declared a National Mystery.

9:40 am

Vicuna

Yes. Such droll, well-educated humor!

9:40 am

phaeton

On one of his apprentice shows he let the contestants check out his hair, it's all his

9:40 am

EvaNadine

missing a 6...
i have:
AD6
BE6
GA6 x2
MA6
WA6
Wi6

9:41 am

FMitch

ah ha hense the de bag

9:41 am

Haz1558

dy6

9:41 am

Atalante

if that's real, I wouldn't admit to it

9:41 am

Vicuna

dy6 - recently clued

9:41 am

phaeton

Just a lousy way to wear it, but it seems to be his trademark

9:41 am

Haz1558

You've got it, Sherlock.

9:41 am

EvaNadine

thanks!

9:41 am

EvaNadine

that makes 28 words left to hunt down...
but, alas, tis a busy day, and im leaving early!

9:42 am

Vicuna

Of course it's his. That doesn't make it real or natural!

9:42 am

Haz1558

It deserves to be a National Mystery. You look at that hair and you think 'how?' and then you think 'why?'

9:42 am

Haz1558

Then you think 'what's he hiding?'

9:42 am

Vicuna

But don't you then go on to think "Who cares?"

9:43 am

phaeton

It's like the classic combover!

9:43 am

Haz1558

Yes, but that's a lot of questions for one hairstyle, don't you think? A National Mystery.

9:43 am

Haz1558

Let's face it, since his face became well known, it's now an International Mystery.

9:43 am

phaeton

More Global then National

9:44 am

FMitch

It's not THAt interesting surely?

9:44 am

Haz1558

Okay, it's a Global Mystery.

9:44 am

Atalante

its quite impressive for a few strands of hair

9:44 am

Vicuna

I think Haz is drawing a distinction between mysterious and interesting.

9:44 am

sadie52

hello everyone

9:44 am

Vicuna

And if she isn't then I will do so on her behalf.

9:45 am

Lizsark

DoG sorry! Got dragged away by a nappy emergency just then!

9:45 am

Haz1558

I firmly predict that if aliens landed, their first question would be 'Donald Trump's hair - why?'

9:45 am

Vicuna

Hello, sadie.

9:45 am

FMitch

zzzzzzz *jolt* sorry dropped off there for a moment.

9:45 am

Haz1558

Thank you, Vicuna.

9:45 am

phaeton

morning sadie, did you get to watch yesterdays race?

9:45 am

sadie52

hiya vicuna

9:45 am

Haz1558

Waken up, Fmitch, you've kept awake through less riveting stuff than this.

9:45 am

Vicuna

Then we could say to the aliens, "Take him, study him... don't bother to report back."

9:46 am

Lizsark

Less riveting than Donald Trumps hair? I dont think so!

9:46 am

Atalante

riveting? as in those things sticking the hairpiece / dead rug to his head?

9:46 am

Lizsark

...mind you, ... Toyah's hair....

9:46 am

Haz1558

But would that mean that they'd solve the mystery and we'd be left wondering still - How? Why?

9:46 am

Haz1558

Oh good. Toyah baiting time.

9:46 am

FMitch

Sorry Haz and you are right of course.

9:47 am

Lizsark

*blush* sorry

9:47 am

Vicuna

Well, I think what FM is trying to express here, Haz, is that we wouldn't actually be wondering.

9:47 am

Haz1558

You don't suppose that Donald Trump has his PA searching the internet for references to him the way Toyah had for her?

9:47 am

Atalante

he has a whole company doing that

9:47 am

AsGreen

LOVE that wi is in the puzzle - thought it was a phantom!

9:48 am

FMitch

Put bucket over Haz's head in desperate attempt to stop her going on about The Hair!

9:48 am

Lizsark

OMG watch out Haz!

9:48 am

Haz1558

Umbrella is useful at times like these.

9:48 am

phaeton

Can i have a clue for the og word?

9:48 am

AsGreen

(ignoring all the hair talk, fyi(

9:48 am

AsGreen

*)

9:48 am

Haz1558

og4 - og plus shortened mother, backwards

9:49 am

FMitch

ooooo Liz, you've done it. How exciting and well done :))

9:49 am

Lizsark

oh goodness kids everywhere schools out...must go

9:49 am

phaeton

Thanks Haz

9:49 am

Haz1558

See you Liz.

9:49 am

FMitch

I now know who is going to open the new PB

9:50 am

Atalante

hayden?

9:50 am

Haz1558

Are you going to tell us, or will it be a surprise?

9:50 am

Lizsark

bye all *poof*

9:50 am

phaeton

another PB, i thought we just got a redecorated one

9:50 am

Vicuna

Oh, my friend flicker is back, drumming on our chimney cap. What a ruckus he makes! I certainly hope all the females are suitably impressed.

9:50 am

OrangeCat

hi everyone

9:50 am

phaeton

bye liz

9:51 am

phaeton

hi orange

9:51 am

Haz1558

phaeton, FMitch is never one to rest on her laurels. The improvements are bound to be great!

9:51 am

Haz1558

Hello Orange.

9:51 am

Vicuna

Bye, Liz, hello, Orange.

9:52 am

FMitch

Log froze completely there.
Stringfelow

9:52 am

Atalante

in a leopard print thong?

9:52 am

FMitch

only if the weather is warmer

9:52 am

Haz1558

Let us all pray earnestly for snow.

9:52 am

Atalante

haz must be thrilled

9:53 am

FMitch

she may be speechless for the first time

9:53 am

Haz1558

I'm overcome.

9:53 am

FMitch

Anyone got some smelling salts for Haz?

9:54 am

Atalante

I noticed yesterday that Boots still sell smelling salts

9:54 am

Clod

Hey everyone! any clues for dy6 and ga6?

9:54 am

Haz1558

I need emergency medicine. Where's George?

9:54 am

Haz1558

dy6 - hair which takes a colour is dy6.

9:54 am

Vicuna

Really? Do they still sell corsets, too?

9:55 am

Haz1558

ga6 - descriptive ending on ga5/18

9:55 am

AsGreen

wow - 8 left - :)

9:55 am

FMitch

and eau de cologne for ones lace hankie

9:56 am

Vicuna

If the eau de cologne is strong enough you probably don't need the smelling salts.

9:56 am

Atalante

Old Spice works just as well

9:56 am

Haz1558

Or Brut.

9:57 am

Haz1558

Is it still made? Brut, I mean.

9:57 am

Atalante

think so

9:58 am

Haz1558

I'm overcome again.

9:58 am

Vicuna

Quick, put the Brut under Haz's nose!

9:58 am

o-o

you have gone past your destination?

9:58 am

Vicuna

Whoops, that seems to have made it worse.

9:59 am

FMitch

She'll be getting the vapours next and then swooning all over and making the place look untidy.

9:59 am

Vicuna

Untidy, perhaps, but I'm sure she'll swoon in a suitable high-class manner.

10:00 am

Haz1558

Just googled it. In a masterstroke of marketing they got Paul Gascoigne to advertise it. That helped to make it severely unpopular.

10:00 am

Vicuna

And now it's time for me to put up my daughter's hair, and start in on lunch-time. Back later, all.

10:00 am

Haz1558

As if the smell wasn't enought to do that.

10:00 am

Atalante

LMAO. Oh my

10:01 am

FMitch

Bye Vi

Hello BabbleR

10:01 am

AsGreen

fireworks for me!

10:01 am

Haz1558

For those who don't know, Paul Gascoigne was a footballer who famously attacked his wife.

10:02 am

Haz1558

Congratulations As.

10:02 am

AsGreen

I do love a small grid! :)

10:02 am

Atalante

10:02 am

FMitch

Congrats AsG

10:03 am

Haz1558

I'd forgotten that, Ata. Thanks for putting that mental image back in my head!

10:03 am

AsGreen

tx all! OK, time to run - got lots to do for a Monday!

10:04 am

Haz1558

Bye As - have a good day.

10:04 am

AsGreen

10:06 am

phaeton

Haz1558

Vicuna

Twas brillig, and the slithy toves were not allowed to gyre or gimble in the wabe, because Enable wouldn't accept it.

1:08 pm

Vicuna

It's enough to make anyone all mimsy.

1:08 pm

FMitch

and the momeraths were as outgrabe as they could ever be!

1:09 pm

Vicuna

Tragic, really.

1:11 pm

Atalante

hi Vi!

1:11 pm

FMitch

I did feel a teeny bit sorry for the Jabberwock who was obviouly misunderstood to some degree

1:11 pm

TeaNCrackers

1:11 pm

TeaNCrackers

sorry!

1:12 pm

Vicuna

When it comes right down to it, he was just wiffling along, burbling happily to himself when SNICKER-SNACK!

1:12 pm

Vicuna

Hello, Ata! =)

1:12 pm

FMitch

I mean, it came whiffling thought the tulgey wood burbling - clearly under the weather if you ask me.

1:12 pm

FMitch

LOL!!

1:12 pm

Vicuna

You think burbling is a sad sound? It sounds sort of contented to me.

1:13 pm

Vicuna

Cheerful little brooks burble, for example.

1:13 pm

FMitch

It was trying to cheer itself up! Wern't vorpal swords outlawed?

1:14 pm

Vicuna

Not until the Blade Conventions of 1671.

1:14 pm

FMitch

Ahhh, yes you are right.

1:15 pm

Vicuna

I think it's the jub-jub bird that was making all the trouble.

1:16 pm

FMitch

and the Bandersnatch joined in after he had been shunned and the rest is history.

1:16 pm

Vicuna

Anyone that frumious is bound to be a bad influence!

1:16 pm

FMitch

Ata stop droling over Captain Jack!!

1:17 pm

Vicuna

* hands Ata an absorbent cloth*

1:18 pm

FMitch

Well that was fun what shall we do next?

You get to pick the next topic.

1:19 pm

FMitch

I can't I left my brain at a clients

1:19 pm

FMitch

Ata could read us a story

1:19 pm

Atalante

me?

1:19 pm

Vicuna

Unfortunate. Let's hope they don't clean it up and throw it out before you're able to go back for it.

1:20 pm

Vicuna

Oh, what's the story about, Ata?

1:20 pm

FMitch

Obsure and ancient seaweed?

1:21 pm

Vicuna

Sounds intriguing!

1:21 pm

Atalante

FMitch

Thank you for coming. NEXT!

1:22 pm

Atalante

1:23 pm

Vicuna

No story? *quivering lower lip, welling tears*

1:23 pm

Vicuna

(A likely excuse, Ata. How... convenient.)

1:23 pm

FMitch

Once upona time you were able to get decent story tellers, but not any more.

1:24 pm

Vicuna

The End

Vicuna

I used to be able to do The Highwayman, but I doubt I've got it all down pat these days.

1:25 pm

FMitch

I can't do mine. Being a mime doesnt really work here.

1:26 pm

Vicuna

And I can do only chunks of The Raven...

1:26 pm

Vicuna

fruittart

1:26 pm

FMitch

Hi fruit and hurshy

1:27 pm

fruittart

Aloyisius

1:27 pm

Aloyisius

1:27 pm

FMitch

Fruit I looked at your flickr pics and put on 10lbs!!

1:27 pm

Vicuna

Oh, no fair! Hurshy's here with some entertainment options, and now I have to go!

1:27 pm

Vicuna

Oh look, we've got lots of Highwayman fans! Maybe we could get it all between us! =)

1:27 pm

fruittart

;) sorry!

1:28 pm

FMitch

We can had on the baton of entertainment to them Vi :)

1:28 pm

Atalante

1:28 pm

Vicuna

Except I'm about to have to spur off to the elementary school with the white road smoking behind me...

1:28 pm

Atalante

Ode to Spot? YAY hurshy!

1:28 pm

Aloyisius

when the highwaymen came riding, riding...the highwaymen came riding, up to the old inn door

1:29 pm

Vicuna

shrieking a curse to the sky...

1:29 pm

FMitch

LOL Bye Vi and hello aloy too

1:29 pm

fruittart

have you French cocked hat?

1:29 pm

Aloyisius

i was so taken by that poem, i mean, i could hear the pounding of the hoofs

1:29 pm

Vicuna

(Just one, Aloy. there was only the one highwayman! lol)

1:29 pm

Vicuna

No, but I'm cock-eyed. Does that count?

1:30 pm

Aloyisius

they spoke not a word to the ... oh, ty Vicuna.. lol

1:30 pm

hurshy

Felis catus is your taxonomic nomenclature
An endothermic quadruped, carnivorous by nature
Your visual, olfactory, and auditory senses
Contribute to your hunting skills and natural defenses

1:30 pm

Aloyisius

he spoke not a word..

1:30 pm

Atalante

wooooooooot!

1:30 pm

Aloyisius

um, Felis domesticus?

1:30 pm

Vicuna

lol, hurshy!

1:31 pm

FMitch

*Cheeers, round of applause* Yay Hurshy

1:31 pm

hurshy

(there's more)

1:31 pm

Vicuna

I'll be back later to recite "The Listeners" to anyone who hasn't run off and hidden yet.

1:32 pm

fruittart

Thing 1's favorite poem now is . . . The naming of cats is a difficult matter, it isn't just one of your holiday games . . .

1:32 pm

hurshy

I find myself intrigued by your sub-vocal oscillations
A singular development of cat communications
That obviates your basic hedonistic predilection
For a rhythmic stroking of your fur to demonstrate affection

1:33 pm

Aloyisius

ahhh, music to my ears, Hurshy... applause..

1:33 pm

hurshy

A tail is quite essential for your acrobatic talents
You would not be so agile if you lacked its counterbalance
And when not being utilized to aid in locomotion
It often serves to illustrate the state of your emotion

1:33 pm

Atalante

you may think at first I'm as a mad as a hatter when I tell you a cat must have 3 differentnames

1:34 pm

FMitch

Settles back to listen

1:35 pm

hurshy

O Spot! The complex level of behavior you display
Connotes a fairly well-developed cognitive array
And though you are not sentient, Spot, and do not comprehend
I nonetheless consider you a true and valued friend.

1:36 pm

Atalante

yay data!

1:37 pm

hurshy

i gotta go now, bye!

1:37 pm

Aloyisius

last word: a we5.20 one? NOT ! so off I go, see y'all next grid! (-: Thanks for the lovely chat!

2:39 pm

Vicuna

Hello, Takuma. I haven't seen you in a while.

2:39 pm

FMitch

Hugs Vi, I've been waiting up for you, they all went home hun.

2:39 pm

Vicuna

da4/7 - detective slang for fingerprints, or pokes with a paintbrush or a rag

2:40 pm

FMitch

Its a fish too

2:40 pm

Vicuna

That was so kind of you, FM. =)

2:40 pm

scubadiver

Oh, got the da 4/7. Feel pretty silly. (knocks self alongside the head...)

2:40 pm

Vicuna

Literally and figuratively on the fish.

2:45 pm

Vicuna

But only a host of phantom listeners
That dwelt in the lone Babble chat then
Stood listening in th quiet of the moonlight
To that voice from the world of men...

2:47 pm

lil*monkey

just found the wi6 :)

2:47 pm

FMitch

sits silently

2:47 pm

Vicuna

"Tell them I came, and no one answered,
That I kept my word!" she said...

2:47 pm

lil*monkey

*sits beside FM and grooms her hair*

2:48 pm

Vicuna

Does FM need her hair groomed? Or are you merely doing the social monkey thing?

2:48 pm

lil*monkey

well, both!

2:49 pm

Atalante

shouldn't you ask first??!

2:49 pm

Vicuna

Ata's back!

2:49 pm

2:49 pm

FMitch

Umm, thanks but Ata overgroomed me the other day

2:50 pm

lil*monkey

waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

2:50 pm

Vicuna

I had been wondering why you looked so picked over, FM, but I didn't like to ask.

2:51 pm

FMitch

Hola, Babblers! For those of you who want to reload the page, I've added a neat little blurb of news to the top of the site. :)

2:53 pm

FMitch

Hey Dr_G good to see you!

2:53 pm

Vicuna

Hello, Dr_G.

2:54 pm

2:55 pm

FMitch

The news of babble is spreading far and wide!

2:55 pm

Vicuna

So which of us wrote this book, anyway?

2:55 pm

Norma

Any clues for 2nd da4 please ;o)

2:56 pm

FMitch

Haz!

2:56 pm

Vicuna

da4/7 - derogatory term for Italians, I think

2:56 pm

Norma

Thanx Vicuna great help ;o)

2:57 pm

Vicuna

But I thought we knew who Haz really is. Has it all been a sham?

2:57 pm

lucyloo

evening to you all x

2:57 pm

Vicuna

Hello, lucyloo.

2:58 pm

Atalante

she's a master of mystery

2:58 pm

FMitch

Perhaps HAz is HAz and this is her nom de plume?
Hi lucy

2:58 pm

Vicuna

Well, I guess that's possible. Hmmm...

2:58 pm

FMitch

Remember the movie script we were working on, we had better get it copyrited

2:59 pm

FMitch

Shouldn't that be a Mistress of Mystery Ata?

2:59 pm

Atalante

if you're politically correct

2:59 pm

Vicuna

Good point, FM. Or any day now we'll be hearing of a new movie by the famous Rosina Lippi, in which she steals all our contributions!

3:00 pm

Kazozz

hi all, luckily for me this was a small grid!! Back to get my last 10 :)

3:00 pm

3:00 pm

FMitch

politics and mistresses pretty much go in hand don't they :)

3:00 pm

Vicuna

lol, FM!

3:00 pm

Vicuna

Hand in hand is the euphemistic way to describe it!

3:01 pm

Atalante

tongue in cheek more likely

3:01 pm

FMitch

sighs deeply, I know Vi, I just can't co-ordinate my brain/fingers

3:01 pm

Vicuna

And now I'm off again. Sigh. TIme for piano lessons, and I suppose everyone will be off to bed by the time I return. And me with 4 blasted words still to find.

3:02 pm

FMitch

Yes I will be gone Vi as I am about to poof, enjoyed the poetry and fun

3:03 pm

Vicuna

Goodnight, then! Just remember, poetry any time you want it!

we heard a truly lovely piece by the advanced brass choir as part of the concert, too. Amazing the sounds that can come out of instruments like that!

7:40 pm

Scrabbler

Feather, warning: this grid has lots of we5 and ee4 words!

7:40 pm

featherbee

easter break over, spring break up in a few weeks

7:41 pm

stidmama

Scrabbler

And I like the harpsicord---baroque music.

7:44 pm

stidmama

7:44 pm

Scrabbler

Mine plummeted rapidly this AM, feather, when I was stuck after just several words.

7:45 pm

stidmama

LOL darth -- now see, I LOVE saxophones and bassoons. They are nice deep sounds.

7:45 pm

featherbee

i'm 10 words in

7:45 pm

darthdude

I take that back I LOVE the tenor...but it doesn't count as a sax because Ryan plays it and he used to play clarinet

7:45 pm

stidmama

7:50 pm

stidmama

*quietly turns off feather's TV and places laptop in front of her again*

7:51 pm

Scrabbler

They were close the entire game, even ahead briefly, then lost by 2 when their last shot didn't make it.

7:51 pm

stidmama

hey feather, would it be okay if I start another game with you? I know I am slow and all, but you're a great teacher.

7:51 pm

scubadiver

7:52 pm

Scrabbler

Harumph! "Dawgy" is not a word! Don't tell lbdawger!

7:52 pm

featherbee

7:52 pm

stidmama

8:03 pm

stidmama

rofl feather! sounds like a normal preschooler to me!

8:03 pm

Shirlockc

thx stid

8:03 pm

featherbee

me: "WHAT are you doing? Get back in bed! No more power tools!" and that's a direct qoute from a moment ago.

8:05 pm

featherbee

hmpf, owie is a word

8:05 pm

Scrabbler

Haha, Feather! At least they aren't real tools, or else the walls and furniture would be damaged beyond repair.

8:05 pm

stidmama

okay feather, another turn taken

8:05 pm

featherbee

ugh, finished the first pass and not halfway yet

8:06 pm

stidmama

yes, I know feather. This was not an easy grid for its size.

8:06 pm

featherbee

yes, very true scrabs! of course, yesterday he drew on the sheets with a pen, about 5 hours after i had just washed them. and then last night he took his pull up off (it was itchy) and went back to sleep, and peed in the bed. i love him very much, but he's driving me nuts!

8:06 pm

stidmama

have you tried to explain to him that his toys need their rest? tools and babies need their sleep!

8:07 pm

featherbee

he'd buy that if it was a creature or animal...i don't know about tools.

8:08 pm

stidmama

well, actually it's true. mechanical and electronic things need to rest periodically so they don't burn out. It's not sleep as we know it, but it is important.

8:09 pm

stidmama

and you know, of course, that drawing on sheets (walls, books, etc) is how Tomie dePaola got his start?

8:09 pm

featherbee

i did your game stid, but can't get into yours scrabs

8:09 pm

pam

wandering back in to re-apply myself to the grid...

8:09 pm

Angela

ugh - too many interruptions...10 to go

8:09 pm

Jacula

Hi everyone.

8:09 pm

featherbee

my mom reminds me that i drew on my sheets with a marker, which made me feel better

8:09 pm

Angela

hi jac

8:09 pm

featherbee

hi pam, jac, angela

8:10 pm

stidmama

8:10 pm

stidmama

hey jac!

8:10 pm

stidmama

*waves to feather's mom*

8:10 pm

stidmama

go angela!!!

8:10 pm

Angela

feather - my husband used to carve his brother's name into things so he would get in trouble. :)

8:10 pm

Jacula

Stid - I've just been into BabAnon. Didn't find anything to do admin-wise. No we5/20 members trying to join or anything.

8:10 pm

featherbee

it's a great word to get rid of vowels! along with eau, naoi, toea, etc

8:11 pm

featherbee

i carved my name into my dresser. mom wanted to kill me.

8:11 pm

Jacula

Angela - your hubby sounds like he was an evil little kid. LOL

8:11 pm

stidmama

yes, things are pretty quiet there. It's rather easy to moderate (at the moment)

8:11 pm

featherbee

nice brother!

8:11 pm

Scrabbler

I took my turn in our game, Feather. I had to click around a lot to access 4 games.

8:11 pm

Angela

it was a mutual torment feather, trust me :)

8:11 pm

featherbee

yeah, i'm having trouble getting to our game

8:12 pm

Angela

nah, just trying to defend himself from the big brother Jacs.

8:12 pm

stidmama

LOL wait'll you see the word I came up with this time, feather! *giggle*

8:12 pm

Scrabbler

Featherbee, when Daniel is a teenager you will recall, with yearning, for the days when your biggest problems were kiddie power tools, ripping off a diaper, and drawing on sheets.

8:12 pm

featherbee

and i was just about to say i'm giving up on scrabble for the moment! now i have to keep trying!

8:13 pm

featherbee

oh no scrabs! *dum dum dummmmmm* the sound of future doom....

8:13 pm

Angela

de 5/14?

8:13 pm

stidmama

YES!!!! another man in! (that's 3 to 1 at the moment)

8:13 pm

Jacula

When I was small I just couldn't resist picking at a loose seam on the wallpaper by my bed and then having a little pull of it. A piece ripped off and I knew I'd be in trouble if it was discovered so I got out my crayons and coloured the bit of bare wall in to match the missing wallpaper. When it was eventually discovered, I got into more trouble for 'being deceitful' than for ripping the paper!

8:13 pm

stidmama

de 5/14 is de + past tense to le** a horse to water

8:13 pm

Scrabbler

Adolescence is challenging for both the adolescent and his/her parents.

8:13 pm

Angela

LOL Jac!!

8:14 pm

Scrabbler

Haha, Jacula.

8:14 pm

Angela

oh boy...fishy squishy

8:14 pm

featherbee

oh, that one reminds me that i took a red crayon and made a tiny dot on several of mom's paintings...just to see if i could i believe

8:14 pm

stidmama

you said, it cousin. Which reminds me: you want a yard boy for the summer? He's looking for a home... *grimace*

8:15 pm

featherbee

hehe, first thing to pop into my head was "acid" stid

8:15 pm

Jindigo

evening all - i have 14 to go and dy6/33 is perplexing me - any help would be appreiciated!

8:15 pm

Jacula

feather - LOL. Did you believe your whacked backside?

8:16 pm

stidmama

my last word, Jindigo: dy + if you can, you are **** (the word is also in the grid)

8:16 pm

featherbee

she never knew

8:16 pm

Dubi17

wedding shoes are dy++++

8:16 pm

featherbee

and i don't think she knows to this day

8:16 pm

Jacula

Evening Jindigo. dy6 means something can be changed to another colour.

8:16 pm

stidmama

hello dubi!

8:16 pm

Dubi17

dy +ab5/6

8:17 pm

Angela

8:17 pm

Dubi17

8:17 pm

Jindigo

wow - thanks! I had did not see that ending.

8:17 pm

Jacula

feather - are you ever going to confess to her?

8:18 pm

Scrabbler

Yes, Stid, I would love a yard/home helper for the spring + summer!

8:18 pm

Jindigo

thanks Stid, Dub & Jac!

8:18 pm

featherbee

*checks over shoulder*

8:18 pm

Jacula

Maybe she saw the red dot and thought it meant 'SOLD'. That's what it usually means on a painting.:D

8:18 pm

stidmama

okay, I'll send him "boot mail" next time he acts up!

8:18 pm

Angela

lol jac

8:19 pm

8:19 pm

Jacula

Scrabbs - I send you a friend invite on Facebook.

8:19 pm

Scrabbler

8:19 pm

Jacula

*sent (yesterday).

8:19 pm

featherbee

8:19 pm

Scrabbler

TY, Jacula! I will check.

8:20 pm

lori ann

8:20 pm

featherbee

doug heard noises, so went down the hallway with heavy feet...daniel hears, dives under the covers....doug opens the door, daniel actually faked a snore! but then he giggled halfway through it!

8:20 pm

Jacula

Hi lori. ae + little Archbishop Tutu.

8:21 pm

Jacula

ba5/28 = what some old music hall acts were - a little risque.

8:21 pm

pam

he is funny, feather!

8:21 pm

stidmama

ae 5/12 is babblet: ae + past tense letters in reverse order + plural letter

8:21 pm

Jacula

Must be quite painful to snore and giggle simultaneously!

8:21 pm

stidmama

8:22 pm

stidmama

okay, taking a short break for cake baking... back in about 30

8:23 pm

8:23 pm

Angela

8:39 pm

*Vision of Angela pulling out plug and disappearing under the duvet. Rest is censored.*

8:39 pm

rururocks

If I ever start babbling in bed I would be divorced

8:39 pm

featherbee

8:39 pm

Jacula

Ah. Vision was not quite correct, I see.

8:39 pm

Angela

8:40 pm

lori ann

8:40 pm

Jacula

8:40 pm

featherbee

i'm trying to think of what to do to my kids at school tomorrow

8:40 pm

featherbee

hmm, good point

8:41 pm

Jacula

My Dad, bless his soul, used to put cotton reels in the toes of my socks, tack (loosely sew) sleeve ends up etc.

8:41 pm

frantique

LoL that will be a great one to do to them

8:42 pm

frantique

lol

8:43 pm

Jacula

He once tied all of the cutlery in the cutlery drainer together with cotton. (Goodness knows how long that took to do!) When my Mum came to get it out next morning, the whole lot crashed out in one go.

8:43 pm

frantique

lol

8:43 pm

pam

what a hoot, jac!

8:44 pm

featherbee

lol!

8:44 pm

featherbee

so do you have any ideas for what to do to a room full of kindergartners?

8:44 pm

featherbee

ugh, i teach it yet can't spell it

8:45 pm

Jacula

I think that was the same year as she played a trick on him. She wrapped the block of wood he used to wrap his sandpaper around up in greaseproof paper, because it was about the same size as his usual pack of sandwiches for work. She put his real lunch pack further down in his work bag. Thing was, he found the block of wood but not the sandwiches! That taught him a lesson. He was starving when he got hom!

8:46 pm

frantique

lol

8:46 pm

Jacula

I'm trying to think what could be set up for a room of little kids...

8:47 pm

featherbee

can't really mess up the crayon baskets, as the leprechauns did that for st. patrick's day

8:47 pm

Jacula

Without any parents starting litigation for 'little Chuck or Sienna's traumatisation'...

8:48 pm

featherbee

actually, pretty much anything i do, they'll blame on the leprechauns at first i bet!

8:48 pm

featherbee

they're such creatures of routine...i could change the order of the lunch menu, rearrange our schedule...

8:49 pm

dcseain

sorry, got pulled away. i'm well. :)

8:50 pm

lori ann

I guess I am off to bed. Take care and good luck all...

8:50 pm

Jacula

Feather - having pudding before dinner will probably please them. LOL

8:50 pm

dcseain

g'night, lori ann.

8:51 pm

Jacula

How about mixing the pudding with the dinner? Don't know what the menus are but how about Chips, burger and raspberry jam? That sort of thing.

8:51 pm

Jacula

'Night, Lori.

8:52 pm

featherbee

no, just mean changing the signs for what they're picking. everything in the room has its place, if i change the order they'll be thrown for a loop

8:52 pm

featherbee

oooohhh, no, but that gives me an idea for snack time....

8:52 pm

Jacula

What, feather?

8:53 pm

featherbee

we normally put a few crackers or something in a little 3 oz. cup. we could put pebbles, or something else unedible! then have the real snack afterwards.

8:53 pm

Jacula

Whatever trick you play, it has to be done before midday or else you are the 'fool'.

8:53 pm

DR1965

clue for be6 please?

8:53 pm

Jacula

Maybe not pebbles, feather. Some little twit might choke on one.

8:54 pm

dcseain

dr, mental hospital anagram - word from hospital means not well managed, crazy.

8:54 pm

featherbee

lol

8:54 pm

featherbee

good point

8:55 pm

Jacula

DR - be6 is an old word for an old hag. It's not that different to my phantom of the day, which means lunacy and was the name of an old mental hospital here in UK.

8:56 pm

DR1965

ok... looking***

8:57 pm

Jacula

Feather - how about dog biscuits in place of the crackers? At least if any kid eats one it won't kill him/her.

8:57 pm

Jacula

DR - the full version of that word was originally two words (French) meaning 'beautiful woman'.

8:58 pm

featherbee

can't do that, there's a snack that's called scooby snacks, looks like dog biscuits! they'd all eat it

8:58 pm

DR1965

ty Jac and DC- I found it!

8:58 pm

dcseain

firewords :)

8:58 pm

Jacula

Do you have mini Bonios in the States? (Small bone-shaped dog biscuits.)

8:58 pm

featherbee

i'm thinking crayons or something like that. just something in the classroom.

8:58 pm

DR1965

Yeah DC!!

8:58 pm

Jacula

Well done DR and dcs.

8:59 pm

dcseain

8:59 pm

frantique

oh i just read a prank online... move your hubbys car, before he leaves for work. he'll think its been stollen

8:59 pm

Jacula

feather - do you have one of those computer blackboards in the room? You could turn the page upside down or sideways.

8:59 pm

frantique

there was another one, add food color to milk in a paper container

9:00 pm

pam

hi dc, frantique, and anyone else I haven't seen yet today...

9:00 pm

Jacula

Hi, harp.

9:01 pm

featherbee

and darn, we can't get in to change the properties on the destop of the computers, or i'd do something there.

9:02 pm

pam

hi, harp

9:02 pm

Jacula

Shame, Feather. You could act like it was right way up and really confuse them. You could even start worrying if anyone had a cricked neck if they'd worked it and and were trying to read it.

9:02 pm

dcseain

love the colourised rings, harp! hello

9:03 pm

LuwandaHL

9:04 pm

LuwandaHL

9:04 pm

Jacula

ma5.22 = mouthed?

9:04 pm

LuwandaHL

m = a4/9

9:04 pm

Jacula

ba5/28 = risque, like music hall songs were.

9:04 pm

Minveryork

ba 5/28 is ba 4/11 plus sometimes vowel LuwandaHL.

9:05 pm

Jindigo

ba 5/28 is the one before with a sometims vowel ending

9:05 pm

featherbee

*grins*

9:05 pm

LuwandaHL

thanx - duh!

9:05 pm

harpjane

for about ten years, every 4/1, I would take last year's newspaper and put it on my mother's porch, removing the current one for next year

9:05 pm

featherbee

oh that's good harp

9:06 pm

Jindigo

thank Luw & Jac!

9:06 pm

Jacula

LOL, Harp. Did she eventually rumble you?

9:06 pm

harpjane

she never really caught me, but my bil did

9:07 pm

harpjane

then she started taking extended trips and wasn't always home on the first

9:07 pm

frantique

LOL too funny newspaper I like that one!

9:07 pm

Jacula

Aw, shame. But did she ever realise she was reading year-old news?

9:08 pm

Minveryork

Hello to all!Just popping in to say I just got fireworks

9:08 pm

harpjane

i eventually told her

9:09 pm

Jacula

Did she whack you, Harp?

9:09 pm

Jacula

Hi, Min. Well done!

9:09 pm

pam

yay, min and all finishers.

9:10 pm

Jacula

I guess she didn't realise about the year-old news stuff if you had to tell her, Harp?

9:10 pm

featherbee

gotta go pay bills. bye!

9:10 pm

harpjane

i got the idea in 1979 when I spent a summer on an island, the only newspapers and magazines were usually 3-4 weeks old and we were happy to have them. one day i saw a newspaper, and thought to my self, this one is only a week old, not bad! I was quite a ways into it before i realized it was a year old....

9:10 pm

Jacula

Good luck feather, don't clear the account out!

9:10 pm

frantique

I think i'll tell my hubby that i'm preggo. hahahaha.. me 48 he 50 thats the last thing we'd want! LOL

9:11 pm

harpjane

it was same old stuff-- a new pope, an african coup, a trucker's strike, gas prices increase, the president fires his cabinet....

9:11 pm

Minveryork

Wish I could stay and clue,but must get to bed early!

9:11 pm

Jacula

Nothing really changes, does it, Harp?:-/

9:11 pm

Minveryork

Goodnight to my fellow babblers!I'll see you tomorrow

9:11 pm

frantique

9:11 pm

Jacula

Fran - That's NOT funny!

9:11 pm

harpjane

9:12 pm

harpjane

9:12 pm

Jacula

Hope he sees the joke! 'Night, Fran.

9:12 pm

Jacula

'Night, Min.

9:12 pm

Jacula

Which comics, Harp?

9:13 pm

Jindigo

da 5/22 anyone please?

9:14 pm

harpjane

i don't remember, after all it was 29 years ago!

9:14 pm

Jacula

I've no idea what 'Dear Abby' is but if it was the problem page they've changed a heck of a lot since I used to read 'Dear Cathy and Claire' in Jackie mag.

9:14 pm

harpjane

dy6?

9:14 pm

Jacula

dy6 = something that can have its colour changed.

9:14 pm

harpjane

yup, advice column, Abigail Van Buren had one and her sister Ann Landers had another

9:15 pm

Jindigo

harp - add ab 4/6

9:15 pm

Jacula

da5/22, Jind = same as ma5/22.

9:15 pm

harpjane

thanks

9:15 pm

Jindigo

i apparently am blind to that ending

9:16 pm

gfball84887

5,22 = d+ an expression of utter disbelief in past tense

9:16 pm

Jindigo

once again - thank you Jacula

9:16 pm

stidmama

9:17 pm

DR1965

Hi Stid

9:17 pm

Jacula

Back in the 70s, all the teen problem pages had to deal with was 'I fancy this guy, how can I make him see it', I've got spots, what can I do', 'I think my boyfriend wants to French kiss me... should I let him' etc.

9:17 pm

Jacula

These days it's 'Position of the Week' and worse!

Back then, if a girl got a love bite, she was deemed to 'have done IT'. These days they ask what is the most fashionable pattern to display love bites in.

9:20 pm

Jacula

Amongst their various body piercings, that is.

9:20 pm

harpjane

Or he's gay an so am I and so are all of our chidlren, bar one. Can you help him to be part of the family?

9:26 pm
