Mrs. Obbly Doobly had a square cut punt.
Not a cut punt square but a square cut punt.
It was round in the middle and square in the front

3:13 am

Jandy

So did you have a good anniversary, Just?

3:14 am

Just1Mar

mmmm not really Jand...had a fight with hubby! (after 29 years what else is new?!)

3:15 am

Just1Mar

3:15 am

Jandy

Uh oh..... that's not exactly what you were looking for in a specially occasion...

3:15 am

westford

not yet thanks though

3:16 am

Just1Mar

well on sunday evening when my son and his gf came over with a nice bottle of champagne that was a wonderful evening

3:16 am

Jandy

Me neither, Just, since I just started... I like to maintain the pretence that I can do this thing!!

3:16 am

Just1Mar

we had a fight about the fact that he never tells me anything..then tries to pull a gaslight on me by swearing he told me

3:17 am

Just1Mar

which is full of sh** cause I have an incurable memory

3:17 am

o-o

phantom: Weltanschauung

3:17 am

Jandy

Uh oh.... this is sounding just like home!

3:18 am

Jandy

I remember EVERYTHING.... it's not just my arse that is like an elephant's!!

3:18 am

westford

sounds familiar

3:18 am

westford

they really think they said it

3:19 am

Jandy

They do... but we know better!!

3:19 am

westford

we are women hear us roar

3:20 am

o-o

oh good, another male bashing session ... time to leave

3:20 am

westford

don't take it personally bab

3:20 am

Jandy

Not at all, BR, this is memory specific, not gender specific!!

3:20 am

Jandy

I have male friends who have good memories.. I just didn't marry one of them!

3:20 am

Just1Mar

well babrab when you're finding phantoms such as the one below...yep it's time to leave

3:21 am

Just1Mar

sigh....I wish I could forget many many things

3:21 am

westford

we love them with all our hearts it's just that they have faults

3:21 am

westford

and we don't

3:21 am

Jandy

Me too, just...

3:22 am

Just1Mar

exactly west but they'd swear it was the opposite

3:22 am

Jandy

ROFL, west... we're especially not smug!! NEVER!

3:22 am

Just1Mar

but we, of course, know better

3:23 am

westford

what was it you sent just get married so someone can annoy you for the rest of your life...something like that

3:23 am

Just1Mar

yeah something like that westie!

3:24 am

Jandy

BRB... phone

3:24 am

Just1Mar

unfortunately he can annoy me to know end....that gaslight thingy may start to work one day I fear

3:25 am

Just1Mar

and no* too.....see it's working (smirk)

3:25 am

westford

this is why babble was invented

3:26 am

Just1Mar

more so the flip time of babble west.....he's been in la la land for hours and hours

3:26 am

westford

they do like their sleep lol

3:27 am

Just1Mar

amazing, isn't it?

3:27 am

westford

they have nothing to worry about

3:27 am

westford

mothers do

3:28 am

Just1Mar

I keep telling him he shoulda married his mother :(

3:28 am

westford

hah!!

3:29 am

westford

I actually liked my mother in law but she lived far far away

3:29 am

Just1Mar

cause I sure as hell ain't like his mother (although she is a sweet lady) but she's perfect you see......and I ..well I'm not perfect

3:29 am

westford

I think it was their generation

3:30 am

Just1Mar

I don't run around all day long cleaning up his mess!

3:30 am

westford

my mother is 91 and she still caters to my brother

3:30 am

westford

exactly

3:30 am

Just1Mar

well my M in Law is 87 and she does the same for her son westie

3:32 am

Just1Mar

yep totally differnet generation and in my case.....my hubs is the child of a holocause survivor..not a good thing :(

3:32 am

westford

my son stays home 2 days a week and works nights and weekends so he can take care of the girls

3:32 am

Just1Mar

that's so sweet westie!

3:33 am

westford

I don't like being the sandwich generation

3:33 am

Douglas

I've really been enjoying not being in this conversation, but I can't figure out for the life of me what words start with the a in the second row, and the bottom 2 n's...

3:33 am

westford

they really have a 50-50 marriage

3:33 am

Just1Mar

I'm not really sure what generation other than baby boomer, 3rd generation Canadian born

3:34 am

westford

hi doug

3:34 am

Douglas

Hello westie...

3:34 am

Just1Mar

3:35 am

Karys

3:38 am

Karys

bye just, and thnk you

3:38 am

westford

in new england

3:39 am

westford

I hate it when I think I've found a word and I haven't

3:39 am

Douglas

Not insulting anyone, Just, fronthandedly or otherwise, just knowing that silence is sometimes a beautiful thing...

3:40 am

westford

it was her anniversary and they had a fight so tried to commiserate

3:40 am

westford

and didn't think you were insulting

3:43 am

Douglas

That's good...

3:45 am

Douglas

What's one of the two words from the n in the fourth row?

3:46 am

Haz1558

French no plus a vowel

3:46 am

Haz1558

And plural

3:47 am

westford

I gave that to you when you first asked doug guess you didn't see it

3:47 am

westford

hi haz

3:48 am

Haz1558

Good morning westford - and everyone.

3:48 am

Douglas

Thanks haz...

3:48 am

Haz1558

You're welcome, Douglas.

3:49 am

Douglas

So it would seem, west...

3:49 am

Douglas

loading sixteen...

3:50 am

westford

as long as you have it now

3:50 am

westford

I'm stuck on the first 2 cr's

3:52 am

Douglas

One of the Two Ronnies is in the grid...but which one?

3:53 am

Haz1558

cr5/12 and its plural - similar structure to french brother, but using different vowel in the middle.

3:53 am

westford

thanks I'll work it

3:54 am

Haz1558

Ronnie Barker was a genius - I don't think it was fully realised by the public that he wrote so much of the material.

3:55 am

westford

got them thanks haz

3:55 am

Haz1558

That's good, westford.

3:58 am

Douglas

This is a family game, some es6 that es6 right out of here, before a politician gets a hold of her...

3:58 am

Douglas

And that goes for the whole lot of them...

4:02 am

pinkhatlil

morning!

4:02 am

Douglas

Oops, *somebody* instead of some...

4:02 am

Douglas

Hello pinkhatlil

4:02 am

pinkhatlil

hello Douglas

4:04 am

Haz1558

Good morning pink.

4:04 am

pinkhatlil

Hello Haz!

4:05 am

westford

hi pink

4:06 am

pinkhatlil

hi west

4:10 am

Douglas

Are any UK Babblers participating in the Times Crossword Championship in Cheltenham?

4:11 am

Haz1558

I don't know, Douglas.

4:11 am

pinkhatlil

no douglas, im not

4:12 am

Douglas

It was suggested to me that Peter Biddlecombe, last year's winner, get an automatic invite to the American Crossword Puzzle Tournament...

4:13 am

Douglas

And it was great writing a blog post with the title "Cheltenham Chosen For Championship"

4:14 am

Haz1558

What are the qualifications for entry to the American one?

4:16 am

Douglas

I believe you just have to pay an entry fee and show up, Haz

4:16 am

Haz1558

So, no qualifying stages or anything?

4:16 am

Douglas

Tyler Hinman, the winner of the American tournament, doesn't think he can do cryptics at competition speed yet...

4:17 am

Douglas

No, there were over 200 people showing up for the first time this year...

4:18 am

Haz1558

In that case, why not invite the British winner? I had wondered if some of the other entrants might feel resentment at someone coming from the outside, but if it's just a case of hand over the money - let them feel they are competing internationally.

4:18 am

Douglas

I have a beautiful dream, a dream of a bi-national, bi-continental crossword competition

4:19 am

Haz1558

And it would be very civilised, as long as you establish rules ahead of time about what spellings are acceptable. Would there be cultural differences in the cryptic clues?

4:20 am

Douglas

Of course! That would make it all the more interesting!

4:21 am

Haz1558

What is the prize? Or is the glory enough?

4:21 am

Douglas

I'll trade you a Seinfeld reference for an AbFab reference!

4:22 am

Haz1558

I wouldn't be great on either! Frasier is more my style.

4:22 am

Douglas

Hmm...that's the tricky part...There should be a prize...need sponsors...

4:23 am

Haz1558

I reckon a shiny little trophy and the glory would be enough.

4:23 am

movieman

clue for the 8 plz

4:24 am

Douglas

It might be for some...

4:24 am

Haz1558

re8/65 - when the beauty contest is declared invalid and the second placed one gets the prize?

4:26 am

Haz1558

Douglas, if they enter the competition knowing ahead of time that there's no really big prize, there can be no complaining. Or do you think the talented ones won't turn up?

4:27 am

movieman

ty haz

4:27 am

Haz1558

You're welcome.

4:29 am

Douglas

The number of people showing up at ACPT has been a turn-off for some people...I've heard that Jon Deflin is pretty good at cryptics...I'm not sure there are very many who are really good at both kinds...I do know that the glory is a great motivator for crossword enthusiasts

4:29 am

Douglas

Orson Bean is in the grid...

4:30 am

Douglas

That had nothing to do with anything in particular

4:30 am

Haz1558

Is there any provision for an audience to see what is going on? Or is that a really silly question?

4:36 am

Douglas

Windows says my network signal strength is very low...

4:37 am

Douglas

Having an audience see the solvers solve in real time would be a great part of the fun!

4:38 am

Douglas

They do that in the final round of ACPT, where the finalists where headsets, noise blockers, and solve on large whiteboards

4:39 am

Haz1558

It's probably possible to have all sorts of technical things going on, but it would probably cost a fortune.

4:40 am

Douglas

In my mind's eye, I'm seeing a website, where visitors can see the solvers solve in real time through some sort of applet, with a furious chat going on at the same time that the solvers can't see...

4:41 am

Douglas

But when you hear about it Haz, remember you heard it here first...

4:41 am

Haz1558

The mind's eye costs nothing!

4:42 am

Haz1558

Oh I will, Douglas, I will.

4:43 am

Douglas

True...but that's why we need sponsors, to finance the internet connections, etc.

4:45 am

Haz1558

Most competitive sports trade on the good looks of some of the contestants for advertising etc. Are the crossword people decorative?

4:45 am

Douglas

On an unrelated note, I'm past halfway, so I'm declaring moral victory, and going to sleep, and dream my beautiful dream...

4:46 am

Haz1558

Well done on your moral victory and sleep well. Good night, Douglas.

4:46 am

Douglas

I take it you haven't seen the movie Wordplay...

4:46 am

Haz1558

I think I've seen trailers. Point taken.

4:47 am

Douglas

None of the American crossword stars are particularly decorative...neither is Peter Biddlecombe

4:48 am

Douglas

...but that's not the point...

4:48 am

Haz1558

There's bound to be a decorative crossworder somewhere. Still, sleep well!

4:48 am

Douglas

Variety magazine said Wordplay had a great screen kiss in it...

4:49 am

Douglas

Goodnight Haz, and all...

4:49 am

Haz1558

Ah well. I've just googled Peter Biddlecombe. He looks harmless.

6:08 am

Scrabbler

Jandy--I need a dream interpretation. What does it mean when I find money in my dreams? Like finding big bills and grabbing them up. I will offer free medical advice in return for your expert interpretation.

6:08 am

Jandy

I think ardilla went to sleep on her keyboard....

6:08 am

Thanks Jandy, take care all!

6:10 am

ardilla

sorry about that thought i was pushing shift key not enter *blush*

6:10 am

Scrabbler

Come on, Jandy, I expect you to use some big words, like richness of my soul, transcendental wealth, etc.

6:10 am

Jandy

Scrabbler, it would be tempting to say you are going to win the lottery and should start buying tickets immediately, BUT I fear not....

6:11 am

Jandy

I will give you two interpretations and you can choose the most appropriate for you at this time

6:11 am

Scrabbler

Uh, oh, one of the bunnies, I think Sebastian, is thumping upstairs. I wonder what is going on.

6:11 am

pinkhatlil

right im guessing no one needs clues so im off, good day/evening everyone!! *hugs*

6:11 am

Eva

good morning everyone. Could someone help me out with that bottom "n" that is driving me crazy. I have the feelings its a fish.

6:11 am

Scrabbler

Oh, that's good, jandy: giving the client 2 choices. You are getting good at this.

6:11 am

Jandy

Good night pink! Talk soon!!!

6:11 am

Scrabbler

Bye Pink

6:12 am

ardilla

bye pink & melissa hi eva & jandy

6:12 am

Eva

hi ardilla

6:13 am

ardilla

ni + ***smoking seating in a restaurant

6:13 am

Jandy

Okay, Scrabbler.... The first possibility is that you are going through a period of your life where you feel the strain of many demands on you, and where you feel you need to be replenished in some way. In this instance, the money represents not cash, but security, peace, and a guarantee of the resources you need to continue supporting and giving to others...

6:13 am

Eva

bless you ardilla! That must be the one combo I hadn't tried

6:14 am

Scrabbler

I do this everyday here: type in a word, get rejected, ask how it cannot "be a word" then realize it is a phantom. Silly Scrabbler!

6:14 am

ardilla

yw eva someone clued it earlier :)

6:14 am

Scrabbler

Yes, yes, Jandy!!! Go on, please.

6:15 am

ardilla

mi6/7 combo small fish or gillian's boat

6:15 am

Jandy

The second interpretation could be that you are going through a period of awareness, concious or not, of your own good fortune and relative wealth and security. You already feel well resourced, secure and blessed and you are revelling in that...

6:15 am

ardilla

co6/7 combo longneck beer served with a lime

6:15 am

Jandy

That second might be particularly relevant if you have been dealing with close friends or relatives who do not have your resources...

6:15 am

Scrabbler

Wow, Jandy! Both are quite meaningful to me! TY!

6:16 am

Jandy

Oooh.. thanks ardilla... I know beer!

6:16 am

ardilla

Here is another meaning: my taxes are due April 15th and I will come up short. I really NEED to find money right now. But I have had the money-finding dream frequently over the years.

6:17 am

Jandy

Way too prosaic and literal, Scrabs... anyone could work that out! LOL!!!

6:18 am

Eva

morning mrp!

6:18 am

mrpresident

bloody marvellous!

6:18 am

Scrabbler

Hi mrp. I like your sun icon.

6:18 am

Jandy

Now Scrabs, for the free medical advice...

6:18 am

Scrabbler

Well, Jandy, I am not insightful like you, a trained dream interpretation professional.

6:18 am

mrpresident

thanks! am going to do more like it

6:19 am

Scrabbler

Go ahead, Jandy.

6:19 am

Jandy

Having a TAH in two weeks.... need to decide whether to include a BSO (assume you use the same nomenclature). I am leaning away from a BSO.... thinking that I might have to get rid of the dress, but there is nothing wrong with the perfectly good pair of shoes that go with it! Your thoughts?

6:20 am

Jandy

And thanks for the acknowledgement, I have been interpreting dreams since.... oh, let's see.... last weekend!

6:21 am

Jandy

How's your site looking with your line out, mrp? Healing up at all?

6:21 am

Scrabbler

I had a TAH at age 41 (massive fibroids) then a BSO at 43 due to a large ovarian cyst and a peritoneal cyst. I was and still am relieved to have those ovaries gone as the specter (?spector) of ovarian cancer is SO frightening to me.

6:21 am

Scrabbler

How old are you, Jandy?

6:21 am

Jandy

110 today....

6:22 am

Scrabbler

You are not 110 years old!

6:22 am

aknitter

110 ! wow jandy happy birthday

6:22 am

Jandy

But nearly 50 in real life. But I had a DVT last year (travelling) so can never have HRT (though I would have only used it as a last option)

6:22 am

Jandy

I decided years ago that we3

6:22 am

Jandy

rats

6:22 am

Scrabbler

It is my sister's birthday today. Is it really yours today too?

6:23 am

Jandy

That we're all stupid lying about our age in a downward direction... would be a really well-preserved 58 year old!

6:23 am

Jandy

No Scrabs... I will be 50 on June 14th... so I will save the happy birthday till then, thanks knitter!!!

6:23 am

Scrabbler

I am now 48, never took HRT and never plan to. I take vit D with calcium and get a lot of exercise.

6:24 am

Jandy

Got no family history of breast or ovarian cancer... that would make the decision easy for me... but I have an intellectual aversion to the removal of healthy tissue

6:24 am

Scrabbler

My great fears, health-wise, are ovarian cancer, breast cancer and cardiac disease. I was so relieved to have the ovaries gone! Ovarian cancer is typically diagnosed at a late stage as symptoms are vague.

6:26 am

Scrabbler

Well, I had my tonsils and adenoids removed as a kid, asked the doc to remove my appendix while he was in there digging out my uterus, lost my gall bladder along the way, and then my ovaries too. I don't miss any of those parts.

6:26 am

Jandy

And that would be the big reason to do it, I know. I also get hormone related migraines, which I think would be helped by Whipping Them Out. And yet, for reasons I don't really understand, I would like to keep them... and I'm not generally a hoarder, LOL!

6:26 am

ardilla

re7/8 combo to make someone a king again

6:27 am

ardilla

happy birthday, scrabb's sis!

6:27 am

Jandy

LOL, Scrabbler... I certainly do NOT miss my gallbladder!

6:27 am

Scrabbler

Also, my chronic depression disppeared after getting those ovaries out. I just have felt great! I still get migraines but mine have never been hormone-related.

6:27 am

Jandy

How are you feeling, ardilla? Been doing any more episodes of Korea On Crutches?

6:28 am

Jandy

Okay... will have to reconsider. I know most gyns would advise removal... but most gyns are also middleaged men...

6:28 am

ardilla

my adventures are getting less adventurous as people are making me sit down and stay in place more now

6:29 am

Scrabbler

Is it the idea of saying good-bye to the eggs, the ones we are born with?

6:29 am

Jandy

I am delighted to hear it, pet! You sounded like you had really overdone it the other day... I was quite worried about you!

6:29 am

ardilla

today my lunch was brought in to me and i didn't leave my floor until time to go home

6:29 am

Scrabbler

I never had or wanted kids so I never needed that silly uterus or ovaries--nothing but trouble for me.

6:30 am

Jandy

Nah... I'm not sentimental at all! I think my bias is just toward changing as little as possible in your biology

6:30 am

ardilla

yeah, i was exhausted today i'm just tired

6:30 am

Jandy

Oh ardilla, that's sounding SO much better! How's your turtly friend?

6:31 am

Scrabbler

http://www.drnorthrup.com/
This doc has lots to say about women's health, but I don't know her stance on ovary removal.

6:31 am

ardilla

she's okay, just a little butt right now and hissing when i pour some water on her to keep her hydrated

6:32 am

Scrabbler

Haha, Ardilla.

6:32 am

Jandy

I didn't know I had really serious anaemia, Scrabs... and now I'm really run down and my stored iron is zip.. so I'm really very happy about the TAH now that the decision is made. We followed the recommended treatment path (I have been a sales manager for women's health surgical products for the past two years) and I'm happy we explored all other non-surgical possibilities

6:32 am

Uniquity

Are you sure the hissing isn't cuz she is hot and the water is cold? :)

6:32 am

ardilla

she's being too difficult and squirmy for me to pick her up and give her a bath :(

6:32 am

Jandy

A little turtle butt! Hee hee...

6:32 am

Jandy

LOL Uni.... thanks for the mental picture!

6:32 am

Scrabbler

I thought that too, Uniquity.

6:33 am

Uniquity

Thank heavens somebody else had the mental image of a steaming turtle...

6:33 am

hurshy

so what's up with the bottom N's? i can't figure 'em

I don't see it either, Ata, so let's enjoy being stupid together.

There was no need to admit that I didn't see it. I should have waited for a clue. Silly Scrabbler. I have to remind myself to avoid public humiliation.

Okay Ata, shoot! ***Uni did it**** :-)

6:38 am

Atalante

every day in the news here we are getting pictures of baby seals with big eyes being clubbed to death. what do real canadians think about the seal hunts?

LoriP

LOL, no glory here.

TY Jandy. I'm sure there would be less fuss about it if seals didn't have big eyes ...

6:40 am

ardilla

Jandy

wi 6/7 combination rhymes with little fish...

6:40 am

lynxxx

bye jandy

6:40 am

Uniquity

Uni students in exam/paper period don't think about it at all...but they do laugh at the irony of a seal boat sinking recently and are glad that someone is at least pretending to enforce less...disturbing methods of killing. I have a dislike for hunting at all though, so...

6:40 am

LoriP

Real Canadians are as divided as everyone else, IMO. The problem is, baby seals are cute, so, that somehow makes it even more wronger. :) We live in an overly aware PC time, and it's just not popular, 'specially with the anti fur movement. If baby seals were ugly, it'd be a lot less contentious.

6:40 am

ardilla

ty jandy didn't know that was a word

6:40 am

sukee

Personally, I'm against it... Then again, we kill lambs and other cute animals and other not so cute animals

6:41 am

ardilla

hi uni

6:41 am

Jandy

Well actually, ata, we were discussing how many fricking seals there would be if they DIDN'T do it, given how many they kill... not that I am supporting it, in the particular way it was done...

6:41 am

Jandy

something to do with grain and harvesting, ardilla...

6:41 am

LoriP

G'd night Jandy, sleep tight!

6:41 am

Jandy

But if they stop it, I think they'll have to start having Family Planning Clinics for Seals!

6:42 am

Atalante

there would be miiiillllions of them. We have the same issue with culling deer here. They have the Cute Factor

6:42 am

Uniquity

I don't think I could be against keeping any animal population down...if we don't do it, sharks will have to step up to the plate? Oh dear, bad joke..

6:42 am

Jandy

Hmmm..... Bambi..... yes....

6:42 am

Atalante

But does the seal hunt actually help Canada? Profitwise? Or just the tiny region involved?

6:42 am

Uniquity

I take ti we don't have any vegetarians on right now!

6:42 am

LoriP

Now, the connection to depleted fish stocks and seals is a point that's only valid to a degree. The population does need to be maintained, but the destruction of the fishery, can be laid squarely at the door of draggers and raped and pillaged seabeds.

6:42 am

Uniquity

I've never gotten any dead baby seal money..

6:43 am

lynxxx

and we are currently having the same issue with a kangaroo cull

6:43 am

Jandy

Grin, Uni, will see what we can do! Lots of sharks die in the nets protecting the swimming beaches here, but only the real animal activists get too excited about that

6:43 am

Haz1558

Is it a general rule that those who are least affected by animal issues are the loudest in condemnation of those who are?

6:43 am

Angelsong

fireworks for me. no unfinished business for after work tonight...

6:43 am

LoriP

Ata, it's an economic necessity, for lack of a better word, to the areas involved. Geographically specific.

6:43 am

ardilla

woot angel

6:43 am

Jandy

Exactly, lynxxx.... they are in plague proportions in Canberra at the moment.... culling via road kill, which is terrible!

6:43 am

Atalante

oh poo, don't blame the poor seals for fish! there is only so many fish a seal can eat LOL as you say. Fisheries models screwed the fishing business many years ago. And I;m not getting started on that topic cos I know too much about it

6:43 am

Jandy

YAY ANGEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

6:44 am

lynxxx

congrats Angel !

6:44 am

LoriP

Congrats Angel!

6:44 am

Atalante

absolutely, HAz

6:44 am

sukee

The profits are very limited, as far as I know. And may of the areas were offered different industries and refused.

6:44 am

Haz1558

*smug* - endorsement from the smuggest.

6:44 am

Jandy

I think so, Haz

6:45 am

LoriP

That's my point Ata, it's factor, but so much BS that should only carry so much weight.

6:45 am

Atalante

if its really an economic necessity, I have little issue with it. Its when it isn't, and the animals are killed anyway that I get annoyed. Its like Inuit whale hunting. No-one complains about their small take of whales each year that are necessary for their survival

6:45 am

hurshy

i dunno, i'm not affected and i haven't said a word :)

6:45 am

Jandy

I think it might be the METHOD of the seal killing which should be the issue... cute or not, they wouldn't let it happen in an abbatoir..

6:45 am

Atalante

absolutely, Lori. People just like shoving fisheries responsibilities away from them and onto the "natural world"

6:45 am

Jandy

Grin, hurshy.... and now you've gone and done it!

6:46 am

hurshy

nuh-uh, i still didn't say an opinion

6:46 am

Jandy

Abattoir, maybe... the double b just didn't look right!

6:46 am

Uniquity

I always assumed the issue was the method, not the actual killing...except from a PETA point of view. But what..are you going to shoot a seal?

6:46 am

Atalante

good point, jandy. does anyone know *why* they use clubs and not anything more humane looking?

6:46 am

LoriP

In NFLD Laborador, unemployment hovers at 18%, it's a poor province. The seal hunt is much needed economics.

6:46 am

Jandy

True, very true!

6:46 am

Ogdens Nut

Pity you don't know very much about simple 4-letter words beginning with in, your appalling smugness

6:46 am

Uniquity

They just made new rules about the killing and it'

6:46 am

Atalante

I am above 4 letter words. Or something. LOL

6:46 am

LoriP

The PETA folks are insane. Ata, you seem to have a good handle on it. Very informed.

6:47 am

Uniquity

it's methods...they are supposed to be making it more human

6:47 am

6:47 am

Jandy

That's what was in the paper here on the weekend, Uni. Still seems a bit harsh... but I am a sucker for anything with big brown eyes. That's how I got married...

6:48 am

Atalante

nearly all of my last year at uni was fisheries and fisheries modelling and fisheries economics

6:48 am

Jandy

And now there are days I could cheerfully club HIM to death!

6:49 am

Atalante

looool jandy

6:49 am

Ogdens Nut

hi ardilla, what you doing in Korea?

6:49 am

Uniquity

Watch out or we will have to see big cute bunny eyes and bambi eyes and moose eyes (lol) and feel bad about that too. I have never eaten or worn a seal, nor have I killed one. Same for bambis (well, i ate deer once) and bunnies

6:50 am

hurshy

and then she ends up addicted to a game where we hit ourselves with fish... it's some sort of a complex.

6:50 am

Atalante

seal tastes horrid. you don't want to!

6:50 am

LoriP

As an aside, some folks may find poetic justice in the drowning of those sealers, but the Ice Breaker towing them, should never have left men aboard, and it was outrageous how they conducted the tow.

6:50 am

Jandy

Right, no more shenanigans... I'm gone, though this is a very interesting discussion and, as lynxxx says, we are working on the same issues here with Skippy! I guess it's all about balance, like the answer to everything else. Or reservoirs!

6:51 am

Atalante

it is poetic justice, but its still loss of life and they still leave grieving wives and kids. I hope they get justice too

6:51 am

hurshy

well, listed it for the last 7, and the results were: 2 fish, 3 words that i must have typed too fast before so they didn't go, 1 latin plural, and ts6.

6:52 am

Atalante

(and thank you all for being so fab to be able to discuss these contentious issues in harmony and interest!)

6:52 am

LoriP

Where's the outrage for 10's of thousands of chicks and chicken whose entire existance is in a 2x2 wire cage? Chickens aren't cute, and KFC needs product, right?

6:52 am

Atalante

2 real fish, or fishy fish?

6:52 am

hurshy

fishy fish

6:52 am

Uniquity

Lori! There are already more chickens than humans!!! We need to eat them!!

6:52 am

Atalante

the cute the animal, the more people are outraged. the exception are whales, which aren't cute

6:53 am

LoriP

Sleep tight (again :-)) Jandy. ***Babble is powerful***

6:53 am

hurshy

i'm outraged about the chickens' living conditions, i just dunno what i can do about it.

6:53 am

Uniquity

Also, I have been yelled at by many vegetarians because KFC is cruel. I don't eat it, but it's still my fault?

6:53 am

hurshy

whales are not cute but they're majestic. and, star trek 4.

6:53 am

LoriP

Yes Uni.

6:54 am

Atalante

there were whales in star wars? related to jabba?

6:54 am

hurshy

i mean nobody wants THAT to happen.

6:54 am

Uniquity

I think whales are cute..except when they wash up dead on the beaches

6:54 am

hurshy

:P

6:54 am

LoriP

I see a lot of hypocricy in these issues, thus my utter contempt for PETA

6:54 am

Atalante

yes, Uni. We blame you for KFC. absolutely

6:54 am

LoriP

Ooh, Uni. that is nasty. Remember the one we had.

6:54 am

Atalante

PETA is worse than the people farming the animals

6:54 am

hurshy

did you see that story a week or two ago about the dolphin that rescued some stranded baby whales? so cool.

6:55 am

Atalante

oh yes! dolphins are *so* clever

6:55 am

aknitter

according to my teen son PETA stands for people eating tasty animals (groan)

6:55 am

Uniquity

I remember...it stunk. Why am I being blamed? Isn't that FMs job.... *check's list of absolutel rightness* Yup! I am right, FM is blamed. Next order of business?

6:55 am

LoriP

I agree Ata. Indeed, dolphins are absolutely fascinating.

6:55 am

chiley

Morning all.....my son has a t-shirt that says PETA on the front...the back says "People Enjoy Tasty Animals"...of course he's afraid to wear it in public.

6:56 am

hurshy

the whales were in some sort of shallow harbor or whatever and kept beaching themselves and couldn't figure how to get out, and people spent quite a while trying to help and having no success, and then this dolphin showed up and guided them in a deep channel back out to sea.

6:56 am

Atalante

ok. FM is officially blamed for KFC. We shall inform her of such

6:56 am

anyone have the first na word?

7:01 am

aknitter

bacon! gasp! from a cute little piggy

7:02 am

Atalante

seal bacon?

7:02 am

bacon is the perfect food. It should be in its own group. Besides, pigs are ugly, so it's okay.

7:02 am

7:09 am

Thank You Nono for that video! It's quite the workout......

You can get lots of clues: click on the tiny green link at the bottom for Lickety's Babble Clues

Lickety gives you the first two letters of each word, plus how many letters in the word, plus the word's point value

The point value sometimes helps you figure out if you need a word with a high-scoring letter in it, and things like that

Uh oh. Carlee is venting. Aloy - tendonitis from lifting a weight at the gym. Figures. Try to do something healthy and hurt myself. Oy vey.

10:50 am

What happened, Carlee??

10:50 am

A penalty for over-paying? What kind of messed up shi*t is that?

10:53 am

Jacula

A penalty for over-paying? Bl**dy Hell, Carlee, you just can't win!

10:54 am

Aloyisius

no wonder you are upset, carlee.. I would document this fiasco.. dates, actions, etc... and try to take it to the highest authority

10:55 am

Judi

Meanwhile, your credit rating is probably taking a beating. Ditto to what Aloy suggests. Go to the top and stop talking to the flunkies.

carleekat

i am SO beyond wanting to take it to next level..cus i am BLOODY FED UP WITH THIS SH*T I just want it all to go away

10:57 am

Judi

Totally understandable, Carlee. Six months is WAAAAY too long to be going round with an insurance co. Is there some board or oversight agency you can report them to? Some ins. cos have been known to stonewall just to save money. Rat out the rats, I say.

10:58 am

Aloyisius

i agree, Judi.. they can wear you down.. don't let em do that, carlee

was listening!) leaned over to me and asked quite audibly in her shrill little girl voice that many others could hear, "Mom, what is butt dust?"

My daughter's due home at 10.30am from her 21st birthday prezzie from her Dad - a week in St. Peterburg, Russia.

8:22 pm

JBV

I need one more o - I have 3 with oc, 4 with or, and 1 with ow -

8:22 pm

JBV

wow! that's quite a present, Jac!

8:22 pm

Aussieme

4 x oc JBV..

8:22 pm

Jacula

4 x oc words, JBV.

8:23 pm

Aussieme

I bet you need the 2nd oc6 dont you...

8:23 pm

JBV

got it, thans aussie - it was a plural!

8:23 pm

Jacula

You probably need oc6/21, which is oc5/12 with Latin ending.

8:23 pm

Aussieme

add 2nd vowel to end of 2nd oc5...

8:23 pm

Aussieme

ah, bless you...

8:23 pm

JBV

no, it was the atlantic plural I didn't have

8:24 pm

Aussieme

blimey....

8:24 pm

Jacula

LOL, JBV. How the simple plurals evade us as we seek stranger and stranger words.

8:24 pm

Aussieme

am currently fighting to find the an words....

8:25 pm

Jacula

an4/4 = Indian childminders. an4/4 = written by an unknown author.

8:25 pm

pugmama763

the ans were annoying indeed

8:25 pm

Aussieme

I have the last 4 letters of the yellow fruit..

8:25 pm

Jacula

an4/4 = sounds like a reply. an 5/10 is the Latin plural of that.

8:26 pm

Aussieme

have the unknown, not sure of the sounds like reply...

8:27 pm

JBV

how about the m's - I have the 6 and 7, need 2 more

8:28 pm

Aussieme

nm, I got them, eventually...

8:28 pm

Jacula

Son's Dutch girlfriend headed home after a week here earlier. I'd just been up to the bunny and g/pig shed to open it up for the morning and found one of our old male guinea pigs had died in his sleep. 'Can I see the animal shed?' she asked. 'Erm...' said I. 'Yes, but I've got a dead one in there.' What must she have thought??

8:29 pm

Jacula

mi6 and 7 are tiny fish.

8:29 pm

Aussieme

awww, sorry to hear about the guinea pig Jac....

8:29 pm

JBV

have that Jac, need the other two

8:29 pm

pam

hmmm....wonder what she thought indeed, jac. And sorry about the guinea pig...

8:30 pm

Aussieme

I have several of the tropical variety of those fish Jac..... white cloud mountain Mi7

8:30 pm

Jacula

Aussie - I've been telling his owner, my daughter, who's away at Uni most of the time now, that's he's 'not right' for about a month. However, he came up for his food, if a little quietly, the night before. I knew his time was near. He went in his sleep, no big traumas to him.

8:31 pm

Aussieme

still a shame Jac.....

8:31 pm

Jacula

Yes, Aussie.

8:32 pm

Jacula

5 is a good age for a guinea pig though.

8:32 pm

JBV

aussie, I'm working on that white cloud mountain - care to add a little more?

8:32 pm

Aussieme

it is Jac, it is....

8:32 pm

Aussieme

JBV, tiny fish, erm, hang on there two ticks....

8:32 pm

JBV

hm, now I have all 4 m's so I don't know what your clue was for

8:34 pm

Aussieme

lol JBV, here is latin name for mi6 and 7...Tanichthys Albonubes....

8:35 pm

Jacula

I just hope our very geriatric, only surviving rabbit, who lived next to him, doesn't go next. He looked very down today. I've cleaned the hutch out and I'll leave it overnight to air and then move the two young male guinea pigs over to keep him company. Thing is, daughter is planning to take them to her new house with her next month. All that will be left then are the 3 female guinea pigs who live above him in a huge hutch. I don't think they would take kindly to being moved downstairs to a 4 foot long hutch.

8:35 pm

JBV

aussie, you are giving me the fish - but I had those- anyway I have all the m's now- I see you were translating the latin fish name???

8:35 pm

Aussieme

yes, I did JBV....

8:36 pm

JBV

sorry if I was dense

8:36 pm

Aussieme

I have some of those fish JBV....

8:36 pm

Aussieme

its ok, we all have our moments, I have more than others though....

8:36 pm

Aussieme

I have my fingers crossed Jac...

8:37 pm

Jacula

I doubt that, Aussie, re the more than most post.

8:37 pm

Aussieme

I dont know Jac.... I can miss the easiest of words...

8:39 pm

Aussieme

and I have lots and lots of fish thrown at me too...

8:39 pm

JBV

e in middle of top row - I have 1 er and 4 es - any clues?

8:40 pm

Jacula

Incidentally, sseing how the so-called 'care home' lost my Dad's glasses and hearing aid, never mind most of his clothes when he was in his final months of life, I'm wondering, since I need my specs, should I have laser eye surgery to at least prevent me not being able to see (and also hear - I can't hear that well without my specs on) before I reach the stage where my kids need to put me into care??

8:40 pm

Aussieme

another er JBV...

8:40 pm

Aussieme

both er4/4...

8:40 pm

Jacula

I know that sounds silly, but it IS coming into my thoughts lately.:-(

8:41 pm

JBV

got it, aussie, thanks

8:41 pm

Aussieme

dont know whether to laugh or not.... not at the part about your Dad.... just the bit of not hearing without your specs on bit....

8:41 pm

Aussieme

yvw JBV...

8:42 pm

JBV

Jac, you remind me of someone I work with who told me she made her children promise that when she's old and blind they will NEVER dress her in clothes that don't match!

8:42 pm

JBV

(she's something of a fashion plate right now)

8:42 pm

Jacula

Aussie - believe me, in care homes and on geriatric wards (if those still exist in UK), black humour is most necessary to survive. For both patients (until they're beyond that) and for families.

8:43 pm

Aussieme

I know, my Sister In Law works in a BUPA home, and she says it is terrible there, not as bad as the place she worked before though....

8:44 pm

Aussieme

se

8:44 pm

Jacula

JBV - in Britain's wards and homes for the old, the staff don't bother. Many of them want to care, don't get me wrong. Maybe the person in charge started out caring, too. But it's all about budgets and targets now, not human life. Pity!

8:45 pm

JBV

that's very sad

8:45 pm

Aussieme

she made a slight faux pas one night, as they were making the rounds....

8:45 pm

Jacula

It is, JBV. Anyway, enough of that! What clues do you need?

8:46 pm

JBV

thanks, Jac- I need n's - I have 5 na's, 2 ni's and 4 no's

8:46 pm

Aussieme

ok, onto clues...

8:46 pm

Aussieme

need another na JBV...

8:46 pm

Jandy

Hello all you chickens! Back to see if I can do the last 34...

8:47 pm

Jandy

8:48 pm

MaMaWA

8:48 pm

Aussieme

I am doing fine Jandy, you

8:48 pm

JBV

aussie, that helped, got the last na 4

8:48 pm

Aussieme

*you ?

8:48 pm

Jandy

LOL, reminds me of our rescued Old English Sheepdog who we took on at age 8, and were told she wouldn't manage more than another couple of years...

8:48 pm

MaMaWA

Hence the icon, and then daughter went to college LOL

8:48 pm

Aussieme

yvw JBV...

8:49 pm

MaMaWA

And dog has taken over

8:49 pm

Jandy

She went on till she was fifteen and a half!

8:49 pm

Aussieme

awww, bless Jandy....

8:50 pm

Jandy

LOL, MaMa... I hope the two of you are very happy together! She is a beautiful looking dog, might I say.

8:50 pm

Aussieme

ok, cant stay awake any more...... am so tired, and hubby will be up in just over an hour for work.... night night Babble Family, sweet dreams...

8:50 pm

Jandy

Night Aussie!

8:51 pm

Jacula

'Night Aussie.x

8:51 pm

MaMaWA

Oh yes thank you we are very happy helps with losing , daughter to college

8:51 pm

JBV

I think I'm missing the first no 4, 5 - does it have r in the third position?

8:51 pm

MaMaWA

Night Ausssie

8:51 pm

JBV

night, Aussie, thanks

8:51 pm

Jacula

No, JBV.

8:52 pm

JBV

ok, just found it, thanks JAC

8:52 pm

Jandy

Have you started on your decking, yet, Jac?

8:53 pm

Jacula

Jandy - it's done. He's also made me a new window box out of the spare.

8:53 pm

Jandy

woo hoo! Excellent! That'll give you what is possibly the only mouse sanctuary in England!

8:54 pm

Jandy

You might have to up the cat's food a bit, LOL!

8:55 pm

Jacula

I casually mentioned a window box on the 'jobs to do in the garden' list when he came in after completing the decking... he had a cuppa and then went back out there and knocked one together in about half-an-hour. 'You've made a few of those before now, I guess?' said I. 'No', said he. 'It's the first one.' MY HERO!

8:55 pm

Jandy

Now THAT'S sexy!

8:56 pm

Jacula

HE is, erm, I mean it is, Jandy. LOL

8:56 pm

jillibus

Yummy hubby, jac!!! And hi all

8:56 pm

MaMaWA

woo Jac a man that knows how to use his tools ;)

8:56 pm

Jandy

Hi jilli!

8:56 pm

Jandy

Grin, MaMa... very important.

8:56 pm

MaMaWA

Hey Jilli

8:57 pm

jillibus

ahem, MaMaWa

8:57 pm

pugmama763

can you clone me one jac?

8:57 pm

Jacula

He needs to add a cat seat at the end though, Jandy, to stop said 12lb cat sitting on my plants as he looks in through the kitchen window asking to be let in about half a minute after he's been let out.

8:57 pm

Jandy

My husband could and would do the job, and it would be the most soundly contructed, over-engineered window box ever, but it would take him much, much longer...

8:57 pm

Jacula

Hi, jilli.

8:57 pm

MaMaWA

Absolutely, mine likes power tools also HEHE

8:57 pm

Jandy

ROFL.....

8:57 pm

Jacula

OOh! A lot of female hormones in the log tonight. LOL

8:58 pm

MaMaWA

Jandy ours might be relatated, slow and proper

8:58 pm

Jandy

My dog does that. Drives me frickin' nuts! Tappy tappy tappy to go out. Looks in bowl. Sighs. Tappy tappy tappy to come in... and so on....

8:58 pm

MaMaWA

Okay I am either blushing or having a hot flash !!

8:59 pm

Jandy

Indeed MaMa... he would be perfect if only he wasn't such a perfectionist! But when he makes things, they do stay made.

8:59 pm

MaMaWA

Gotta love em Jandy :=)

8:59 pm

Jandy

I hope it's the former, MaMa... sounds like more fun!

8:59 pm

jillibus

My hubby would have and could have and did do things like that -- he loved woodworking and did great things <mourn>

9:00 pm

MaMaWA

mmmm hugs jilli

9:00 pm

pam

hi, again

9:00 pm

Jacula

Ihad the most intense hot flush/flash I've ever known day before yesterday. I almost knocked other half over in my rush to get outside. I've never known heat like it radiating out from inside. I truly believed I was going to burst into flames.

9:00 pm

Jandy

Ah jilli... as I get older and more aware of our mortality, I must say I criticise less and appreciate more.. or try to at least...

9:00 pm

Jacula

Aw, jilli. ((HUGS)))

9:00 pm

Jandy

Hi pam!

9:01 pm

MaMaWA

OMG Jac its not real until youve had it

9:01 pm

Jandy

Sounds like fun, girls... I'm 50 in June and nowhere near it.... can't wait!

9:01 pm

JBV

talk of hot flashes makes me wonder if i'm really human - menopause came and went without ONE symptom - never had a hot flash -

9:02 pm

jillibus

I never had a hot flash/flush -- does that mean I was frigid?

9:02 pm

Jandy

My girlfriends SWEAR by Remifemin, which is all natural, for cutting down the flushes and the mood swings...

9:02 pm

Jacula

Jandy - your hubby sounds like my ex-hubby. He went through a phase though, of finding quick fixes for DIY jobs. He mended our broken coffee table top with angle iron. Bl**dy things weighed a ton after he'd done with it!

9:02 pm

MaMaWA

Hubby and i were at tax mans today and he made joke about enough life insurance and i thought to myself not enough money to fill the gap

9:02 pm

Jandy

Fingers crossed, jilli and JBV!

9:02 pm

JBV

but I do notice the slowing down of the little grey cells - that I did not escape

9:02 pm

Jandy

Grin, Jac... maybe he was hoping you'd test it out!

9:03 pm

Jandy

Well, hysterectomy for me in just over two weeks, and the big debate is, ovaries out or ovaries in...

9:04 pm

MaMaWA

I have heard some of us girls dont get the whole meno experience

9:04 pm

MaMaWA

wish i was one lol

9:04 pm

jillibus

DEar hubby was a tease -- he mended an old chair with duct tape to my horror but didn't tell me he had made an appointment to have it re-upholstered

9:04 pm

Jandy

My theory is that, while I acknowledge that the dress has to go, there is nothing wrong with the shoes that go with it, and I see no reason to get rid of perfectly good shoes because you got rid of the dress!

9:05 pm

Jacula

Me, too, MamaWA. I could do without the hot flashes AND without the period pains when no period is forthcoming. I'd rather have the period sans pain!

9:05 pm

Jandy

Grin, jilli... I do love a man with a sense of humour! You must miss him dearly.

9:05 pm

MaMaWA

Sounds familiar jilli mine aggravates the HE88 out of me but wouldnt have any other way

9:05 pm

JBV

if you have a choice, I'd say stay with as many body parts as you came with

9:05 pm

jillibus

out, Jandy! Small deal.

9:06 pm

Jacula

jilli - your lovely hubby sounds just like my Other Half (who's not my hubby because he's not bothered to get divorced yet after 5 years together).

9:06 pm

jillibus

Jandy, he had a GREAT sense of humour which is one reason I married him

9:06 pm

MaMaWA

I like your theory Jandy, keep as much as given as long as we can

9:06 pm

Jandy

That's my theory JBV... no history of breast or ovarian cancer in the family... I'm just worried that I will be plunged, overnight, into menopause, which I think is probably still some years away for me naturally

9:06 pm

jillibus

Jancy, who needs to worry about ovarian cancer?

9:07 pm

Jacula

Well, Jilli - Most women like a man who can make them laugh, which is why GSOH is a popular abbreviation in Lonely Hearts ads.

9:07 pm

Jandy

I know Jilli.. and if we had a family history or any other high risk factors i would say Whip Them Out.. but we don't, thank goodness.

9:08 pm

Jandy

It really is one of the most attractive traits, isn't it! (GSOH, that is, not ovaries!)

9:08 pm

Jacula

Ah! This discussion about to leave it in or to whip it all out was in the log earlier when I first started the grid.

9:09 pm

MaMaWA

I always think that in these medical issues gather as much info as you feel comfortable with and then make an informed decision that works for you :)

9:09 pm

Jacula

I, for what reason I am not sure, want to hang on to my innards.

9:09 pm

Jandy

that was probably me and Scrabbler, Jac... the same debate! She was in favour of Out. We were trading free medical advice from her in return for a free dream interpretation from me!

9:10 pm

MaMaWA

I think I missed most of that earlier talk I was *in and out* lol

9:10 pm

Jandy

That's me too, Jac... and I think you're right MaMa. I am an extremely well informed consumer, and I think they are probably Staying In!

9:10 pm

MaMaWA

cracking myself up

9:10 pm

Jacula

Yes, Jandy - that was the convo I read as I drank my cuppa and tickled the grid in an inviting manner.

9:10 pm

Jandy

Now, ladies, any chance of a clue for some O words please? Javem

9:10 pm

Jandy

Rats

9:11 pm

Jandy

Haven't gone to the grid yet, but only have two from the top right.

9:11 pm

Jacula

oc5 = a sea like the Pacific. oc5 is plural.

9:11 pm

Jandy

I have 2 x or 4/4

9:11 pm

MaMaWA

Yes I too am stuck on the O words and most of the others still have 96 to go

9:11 pm

Jandy

And did the grid respond accordingly, Jac?

9:11 pm

JBV

first two o's are oc - atlantic and pacific

9:12 pm

JBV

next two o's are oc - oc + first three letters of re 4 (peruse)

9:12 pm

Jandy

So, what kind of fish today, grin?? Thanks JBV!

9:12 pm

JBV

well I had tuna for dinner - want some leftovers?

9:13 pm

Jacula

Next oc5 and Latin plural 6 are rhubarb joints. Try oc+ not false minus last letter and then Latin plural it.

9:13 pm

Jandy

Mmmm... I love tuna. You can keep salmon, while I can have tuna!

9:13 pm

Jacula

Not keen on tuna. Sorry!

9:13 pm

JBV

there are 2 or 4/4's and 1 or 4/5

9:14 pm

Jacula

I'll take the salmon then, Jandy.

9:14 pm

Jacula

4 x or words.

9:14 pm

JBV

and the or 5 is a nymph or sprite - mythology word

9:14 pm

Jandy

Thanks Jac... make you a rhubarb crumble if you like..

9:14 pm

Jacula

3 x or4.

9:15 pm

Jacula

Okay, Jandy. I'll wait for it in the post.

9:15 pm

Jacula

i x ow4.

9:16 pm

JBV

clue for to 5/18?

9:16 pm

Jandy

Straight rhubarb or mixed with apple?

9:16 pm

Jacula

Don't mind, Jandy. Whatever takes your fancy.

9:17 pm

Minveryork

to5/18 word is plural for another word for village JBV

9:17 pm

Jacula

Throw in a stray rasberry or two, if you like.

9:17 pm

Jacula

raspberry, I meant.

9:18 pm

JBV

AY! thanks, min - I had the singular! -

9:18 pm

Jandy

The raspberries are just finishing here... had raspberry pancakes for breakfast last Sunday, with them picked five minutes before... yummmmm

9:18 pm

Jandy

Googling the sprite, thanks JBV!

9:18 pm

Jandy

My monkeys are still on a go slow..

9:18 pm

Jacula

to5/18 is smaller than a city but larger than a village.

9:19 pm

JBV

got my last word - wo - so now come the fireworks - thank you to all - could not have finished without you

9:19 pm

Jacula

But it's plural of the to4/8 I just clued.

9:19 pm

Minveryork

yw JBV

9:19 pm

Minveryork

Congratulations JBV on your fireworks! Good for you

9:19 pm

Jacula

Well done, JBV.

9:19 pm

Jacula

Hi, Minver.

9:20 pm

Jandy

Oh yay JBV!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

9:20 pm

Minveryork

Hello Jacula. I came here to try to find my last word.

9:21 pm

Jacula

Need a clue for it, Min?

9:21 pm

jillibus

btw, I have one word left and I know what it is. I was babbling during a lull at work (library) but didn't hit Enter (or Return if you're a Maccie) because I wanted to enjoy the video with sound, not possible in the library (ssshhh!)

9:22 pm

Minveryork

I finally got fireworks.na 6/18 was my last word! YAY

9:22 pm

Jacula

Well done, Min.

9:22 pm

Jandy

Yay Min!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

9:22 pm

ItalianGreyhound

9:22 pm

Minveryork

I can help with clues for a little bit before I go to bed

9:23 pm

Jacula

I'll be ever so quiet, jilli.

9:23 pm

Minveryork

Thank you all for your enthusiasm for my fireworks!

9:24 pm

jillibus

YAYAY Minniemouse! (You missed my explanation of that name the other day -- one of our dear DAnes was called Yasmine, so we called her Mini --> Minniemouse, much loved

9:24 pm

Jacula

y/w, Min. That's Babbleland!

9:24 pm

Jandy

I could do with some more A words please... I have the ae4/4 and the an4/4

9:25 pm

MaMaWA

Wtg all finishers :)

9:25 pm

Minveryork

Which is the reason why I love it here in babbleland!

9:25 pm

Jandy

And I'm terribly sorry, JBV, but I can't find the nymph or sprite word.... can find plenty of them, just not beginning with an O...

9:25 pm

jillibus

No thanks, jac -- I know the word -- was saving it for now....

9:25 pm

Jacula

an4/4 - sounds like a reply. an + abbreviation for South Africa. an 5 is the Latin plural of that.

9:25 pm

jillibus

Fireworks, lol!

9:25 pm

Jacula

LOL, jilli!

9:25 pm

Tones

hey plushfrenzy how are you?

9:25 pm

Jacula

I won't mention the word anal.

9:25 pm

Jandy

Yay jilli!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Turn the volume up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

9:25 pm

MaMaWA

I have 4 ocs and 3 or s and still need something up there in that right corner

9:26 pm

Jacula

Nope, won't mention it. ROFLOL.

9:26 pm

Jacula

WELL DONE, JILLI!

9:26 pm

Minveryork

an4/4 is plural of first name of Ms. Alicia from Falcon Crest. Another an 4/4 is an plus *outh *merica Jandy.

9:26 pm

Jandy

Thanks, Jac.. got them now!

Minveryork

9:27 pm

Jacula

9:32 pm

Jacula

Jandy?

9:32 pm

Jandy

Cough... I don't know what came over me!

9:32 pm

MaMaWA

Good for you ItalianGrreyhound, and your dogs are beautiful btw

9:33 pm

Jacula

I thought you meant black dog, which is either a bad omen or depression.

9:33 pm

ItalianGreyhound

thx mamawa and yours!

9:33 pm

Jandy

So (changing subject to distract from disgraceful behaviour) what is today's icon theme... there are lots of lovely dogs.

9:34 pm

ItalianGreyhound

hard

9:34 pm

Jacula

No idea why black pets, esp, cats are seen as bad omens. I love my black cat and she loved me.

9:34 pm

Jandy

Now, Italian Greyhound, was today really your first day finishing without the list?

9:34 pm

Jacula

The theme is still planets, Jandy. Today's is Pluto but I decided to be silly with it.

9:35 pm

MaMaWA

Jandy before the whole memory loss ( back to the menopause thing again) I used to know how to change my icon but forgot

9:35 pm

Jandy

Me neither Jac.. my black dog makes me very happy. I will have to put him on my icon

9:35 pm

DR1965

Hi Everyone

9:35 pm

ItalianGreyhound

hard to find something depressive about a dog Jac! lol

9:36 pm

Jacula

MamaWA - go to your bio, click on edit under your pic and find a new one either on the net or from your own pc.

9:36 pm

Jandy

Hi DR!

9:36 pm

Jacula

Hi, DR.

9:36 pm

DR1965

Hi Jandy- How are you?

9:36 pm

ItalianGreyhound

Jac, im proud of my accomplishment today!

9:37 pm

Jacula

What have you done, my Saluki friend?

9:37 pm

Jandy

The only issue with a very black pet is that they aren't awfully photogenic... I have lots of shots of a black blob with a pink tongue sticking out!

9:37 pm

DR1965

IHi jacula! Love your Pluto

9:37 pm

jillibus

that video is HILARIOUS!!!!

9:38 pm

Jandy

Congratulations, Italian Greyhound.... it is a really big deal! I have only managed it once or twice and it's much harder work.

9:38 pm

jillibus

time to show you MY Pluto, which I chose yesterday -- back in a bit...

9:38 pm

Jandy

I'm good thanks DR... what's happening in your part of the world?

9:38 pm

ItalianGreyhound

thx!

9:39 pm

DR1965

Relatively quiet here in san Diego..

9:39 pm

Stephanaki

anybody have clues for the ni words?

9:40 pm

Jandy

I do think it is a lovely city, DR... there's something a bit Australian about it in some way...

9:40 pm

pugmama763

ni + skim milk is *** fat

9:40 pm

MaMaWA

I will work on changing it soon, Jac but for now I must say good night to all of you lovely people i still need 84 words but had more fun (as usual) reading and chatting..Until next I hope you all stay well :)

9:40 pm

pugmama763

then plural

9:40 pm

Jacula

Black pets ARE very hard to photograph, but it must be their only failing, apart from being the most allergenic.

9:40 pm

Stephanaki

ahhhh. thank you so much

9:40 pm

Jandy

Thanks MaMa and good night!

9:40 pm

DR1965

I have never been to Australia Jandy but would love to visit!

9:41 pm

Jacula

'Night, MAmaWA.

9:41 pm

pugmama763

bye mamawa

9:41 pm

ItalianGreyhound

good clue Pug! I think I saw you here about 6 hours ago!

9:41 pm

DR1965

Gnight mamawa

9:41 pm

Jandy

Well, Jac, I have a spoodle, and he doesn't smell or shed at all, so he doesn't set me off in the least!

9:41 pm

pugmama763

yes I've been lurking in & out

9:42 pm

Jandy

We're just such a long (expensive) way from you guys, DR.... but it's worth it!

9:42 pm

DR1965

I saw a snorkie the other day..schnauzer/yorkie

9:42 pm

Jandy

I think my husband sheds more that the dog, actually...

9:42 pm

hetty

Hullo everyone. I've just finished my first babble for several weeeks and it feels good!

9:42 pm

ItalianGreyhound

im in & out through the day as time permits too.

9:42 pm

Jandy

A snorkie! Was it an attractive mix?

9:43 pm

Jacula

If I could ever afford it, and take the time off to go by sea, because I don't think my body would take the air journey, I'd love to visit Aus for about a week, see friends and stuff, then to NZ for the same and then onto Tasmania for a fornight to see what properties are available to buy there and if I could live there.

9:43 pm

Jandy

Yay hetty!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Woo Hoo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

9:43 pm

DR1965

It was funny looking.. little, grey and silver

9:43 pm

pugmama763

why do people feel compelled to come up with these silly names for cross breeds?

9:43 pm

DR1965

Yeah Hetty!!!

9:43 pm

DR1965

They used to be mutts

9:43 pm

Jandy

If you break the air trip up it's not too bad, Jac.... but you've still got eight hours from Asia to us...

9:44 pm

Jacula

spoodle - spaniel/poodle. No hair loss, totally neurotic and slightly mad, but great dogs.

9:44 pm

Jandy

Now they are designer mutts and more expensive than pure breds!

9:44 pm

pugmama763

Now people act like mutt is a dirty word

9:44 pm

hetty

Yeah one and all! A special Hi to you, jilli. How's island life?

9:44 pm

pugmama763

hi hetty

9:44 pm

Jandy

I don't know pugmama, but you can have fun with it... imagine if you crossed a bull dog with a shi tszu (?spelling)

9:45 pm

Jacula

Hi, hetty. How lovely to see you again. xx

9:45 pm

pugmama763

that's a cute one jandy

9:45 pm

Jandy

Our spoodle is actually 3/4 cocker and 1/4 standard poodle and I think it's probably the perfect mix. He's laid back but smart....

9:46 pm

hetty

Sweet Jac. When we go to Australia it's to the West thro Hong kong or Singapore and it's really not bad in two stretches. Try Perth Jac.

9:46 pm

Jacula

A mutt is a Heinz 57 in UK, or, failing that, a mongrel, or a cross-breed, or Xbreed as the vets put it.

9:46 pm

Jandy

But I agree about the whole mutt thing... he is just a glorified mongrel. We have groodles, moodles, schnoodles, cavoodles...

9:46 pm

DR1965

re7- what is the third letter?

9:47 pm

jillibus

Hello at last again, Hetty dear!!!

9:47 pm

Jandy

That's the way to do it, hetty. The direct flights are somewhat taxing, even if you can get an upgrade!

9:47 pm

Jandy

c DR

9:47 pm

hetty

Hullo my darling Jillibus. How I've missed you.

9:47 pm

Jacula

I'd need to go to Sidney in Aus.

9:48 pm

pugmama763

yw

9:48 pm

jillibus

IG, I knew a Dane breeder in the Toronto area who was also an IG breeder, lol

9:48 pm

Jandy

Good for people like me, jilli, who are allergic but don't want a straight poodle... Didn't react to the Old English we had before, either, cause that's more like wool...

9:48 pm

Jacula

Auckland in NZ and anywhere in Taz.

9:48 pm

hetty

Talking about dogs, our maltipoo is e toast of our new condo unit. Everyone loves her

9:49 pm

jillibus

Sydney in Aus, Sidney in BC

9:49 pm

Jacula

Sydney. I knew that was wrong. LOL

9:49 pm

Jandy

The really hard part is just geting your foot into Australia, Jac, after that the distances are all manageable. Though it is still about 5 hours from Perth to Sydney....

9:49 pm

jillibus

Yes, Hetty, they are adorable, but still but...

9:50 pm

harpjane

hello 82 to go

9:50 pm

ItalianGreyhound

ouch, jill! actually, same dog,in their heads lol

9:50 pm

hetty

Also, Jac, South island New Zealand is heavenly

9:50 pm

Jandy

At least I haven't seen anyone try to cross a Great Dane with a poodle yet, jilli!!! The mind boggles...

9:50 pm

Jacula

Jandy - I don't want to live in Aus - just visit.

9:50 pm

pugmama763

hi harp

9:50 pm

Jacula

9:50 pm

Jandy

Hiya harp!

9:50 pm

Minveryork

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

9:50 pm

DR1965

Hi Harp

9:50 pm

Jandy

Oh I know Jac, I just meant from the travelling perspective! It is a long way, but there's so much to see when you get here!

9:50 pm

Jacula

I might consider living in NZ or Tasmania, once I've been there.

9:51 pm

harpjane

Talking about Sidney, are we? I have a friend whose name is Sidney, and she just went to Sidney, Nova Scotia. She is trying to visit all the cities in the world named Sidney!

9:51 pm

harpjane

I'm good Minver, how are you?

9:51 pm

Jandy

Tassie is just lovely... a cross between the UK and Australia!

9:51 pm

jillibus

There was an accidental cross of a sleeping Dane bitch with a horny dachsund, and I have a newspaper photo showing the disatrous results, lol!

9:52 pm

Jacula

I love my country and never ever considered leaving it until this stupid nanny government got a hold on it.

9:52 pm

jillibus

funny, Sidneys on both coasts of Canada

9:52 pm

Jandy

LOL jilli.... that would not be pretty!

9:52 pm

Minveryork

I am well harpjane. I am here to help clue if you need.

9:53 pm

harpjane

thanks min, i don't know what i need yet, except more popcorn....

9:53 pm

ItalianGreyhound

my older ig (12 pounds) is best friends a a 60 pound collie. neither knows who is alfa dog!

9:53 pm

Jandy

Would be fun for a holiday, anyway, Jac... it's different enough to know you're somewhere else!

9:53 pm

Jacula

Everywhere I go in the world, I take part in and enjoy, but when I see the green and pleasant land below me... I can't wait to get baack to the PG Tips, the rain, etc.

9:54 pm

Jacula

Has Harp come out from behind the palm plants? Hi, Harp!

9:54 pm

jillibus

I'm sorry I have never been to the land of my mother's family (Australia) and now I think it's a bit too late

9:54 pm

Jandy

Well, you would really miss the green in mainland Australia... the equivalent to your "green and pleasant land" is " I love a sunburned country, a land of sweeping plains..."

9:54 pm

Jacula

Why so, Jilli?

9:54 pm

Jandy

You never know jilli, you just never know...

9:55 pm

Jacula

When I flew over Spain it was all ORANGE! tHE EARTH NOT THE FRUIT.

9:55 pm

jillibus

Jac, having been brought up an overseas Brit and having been there too briefly, I still love Jerusalem (you know what I mean)

9:56 pm

harpjane

hi jac i just got home!

9:56 pm

Jandy

Yerrsss.... so is the middle of Australia.... somewhere between an orange and a pomegranate, maybe, to keep the fruit analogy!

9:56 pm

Jacula

I do know what you mean, jilli. No reason for you not getting to Aus in the end, though. xx

9:56 pm

jillibus

Jandy, what lovely words -- from Australia, the fair?

9:57 pm

Jandy

No, jilli, from a poem by Dorothea McKellar... it's iconic

9:57 pm

Jacula

Hi again, Harp.

9:58 pm

jillibus

Travelling is too much of a grind now, and alone sucks, as they say.

9:58 pm

Jacula

I know, jilli!xx

9:58 pm

jillibus

Well, Jandy, it's beautiful

9:59 pm

Jacula

Travelling alone has always been not a lot of fun, but travelling anyhow is such a grind now, thanks to terrorists and the PC brigade.

9:59 pm

Jandy

Here is the first two verses, jilli.... as an imported Briton, the first verse is really powerful for me...

9:59 pm

Jandy

My Country
by Dorothea McKellar

a poem about Australia

The love of field and coppice,
Of green and shaded lanes,
Of ordered woods and gardens
Is running in your veins.
Strong love of grey-blue distance,
Brown streams and soft, dim skies -
I know but cannot share it,
My love is otherwise.
I love a sunburnt country,
A land of sweeping plains,
Of rugged mountain ranges,
Of droughts and flooding rains.
I love her far horizons,
I love her jewel-sea,
Her beauty and her terror â€“
The wide brown land for me!

10:00 pm

DR1965

last word... na6 clue please

10:00 pm

Minveryork

na 6/18 is what people might call their grandmother.

10:00 pm

Jacula

Once, the journey was part of the holiday. These days it is a delay and a hard grind we try to forget.

10:00 pm

That is so pretty Jandy

Well done, DR.

10:02 pm

Minveryork

Congratulations DR1965 on fireworks! Hooray for U!

10:02 pm

jillibus

Jandy -- thanks so much for that -- and come to Salt Spring Island for a reminiscence of the first part -- one reason I love it here

10:02 pm

DR1965

ty all... the video is great!

10:02 pm

Jandy

We did a great trip last year, Jac. Flew to Singapore, which is only 8 hrs and had a few days there, then got the train to Bangkok, which took three days... real travelling! Then popped down to Phuket by plane (1 hour) and had two weeks there...

10:03 pm

Jacula

Sound good, Jandy.

10:03 pm

Jandy

I'm glad you like it, jilli.... it was a huge shock to us as English kids to arrive to the heat, the light (which is like the light nowhere else) and the SPACE... It's home now and I love it, but I can still appreciate the green, lush scenery in other places.

10:04 pm

jillibus

Although I started out in Shanghai, brown river, flat land, but a lovely park with a mulberry tree and tadpole pools and an Aladdin's Cave...

10:04 pm

Jacula

No holiday abroad for us this year but we might return to see more of Crete next year. Who knows?

10:04 pm

Jandy

What an adventure you've had, jilli! Shanghai is the only place I have been in China... fascinating city...

10:05 pm

Jandy

Just keep going in the same direction, Jac, and eventually you will be here!

10:05 pm

jillibus

what a wonder full world

10:05 pm

Jandy

It is that, jilli!

10:05 pm

Jacula

I want to go to Africa but may have to wait until a) finances allow and b) the various local unrestedness has settled.

10:06 pm

harpjane

could someone clue the first cr5?

10:06 pm

Jandy

I think that would be fascinating, Jac

10:06 pm

jillibus

Jandy, my Shanghai is long gone <mourn>

10:06 pm

ItalianGreyhound

cr + mineral

10:06 pm

Jacula

c + what sounds like a lion noise, harp.

10:06 pm

harpjane

I want to climb Kilimanjaro

10:07 pm

harpjane

thanks jac

10:07 pm

jillibus

cr + source of minerals

10:07 pm

harpjane

co6?

10:07 pm

Jandy

You might find bits of it in the back streets, jilli... I swear some of that has never changed! But oh, the high rises, and the building going on, and the pollution, and the traffic!

10:07 pm

Jacula

I'm not sure I'm capable of climbing that mount, but would like to see it.

10:07 pm

pugmama763

co6 brand of mexican beer

10:07 pm

jillibus

co6 -- the ring around the sun or Mexican beer

10:08 pm

harpjane

supposedly it's not too hard as "highest mountains on continents" are measured!

10:08 pm

harpjane

thanks jill

10:08 pm

Jandy

Mmmm... more like my style.... from a good hotel window, with a drink in one hand and a savoury in the other!

10:08 pm

Jacula

co6 = the halo around the sun or a pop drink in UK or a beer in USa, so I believe.

10:09 pm

Jacula

both co7's are plurals of that. One is the regular one and the other is the Latin.

10:10 pm

Jandy

harp, if that's your aim, you should DEFINITELY come to Australia... even I could get up Mt Kosiosko! Well, maybe not, but it would be classified as "A Doddle" to anyone who actually climbs!

10:10 pm

Jandy

Thanks Jac... didn't have the Latin one!

10:10 pm

Jacula

Harp - when I rose quickly from our sofa tonight and both of my knees cracked loudly - my other half was more in pain than I was, just through hearing it.

10:10 pm

Jandy

It's about 20 metres high, harp!

10:10 pm

Jacula

:-(

10:11 pm

harpjane

ok i can Definitely do that one!

10:12 pm

harpjane

the one is Europe isn't supposed to be too high either

10:12 pm

Jandy

Need two more C words... I have co 4,5,4,5,6,7,7,5 are there any more co words, please?

10:12 pm

jillibus

Jandy -- we didn't venture into the chinese back streets. Our Shanghai was the International Settlement and the French Concession and the Bund (rhymes with fund) and Nanking Road and Avenue Edward VII and so on and on -- and Wing On's department store where I wondered why Father Christmas looked Chinese and Dombey and Son, the gorcers with dead chickens hanging around .... I can't go home again, ever.

10:12 pm

Jandy

It'll be higher than our hill, harp!

10:13 pm

harpjane

Climbers don't count the one in Australia when they are doing the 7 continents. There's some awful thing they do in New Guinea, and they say it's the highest point in Oceana!

10:13 pm

jillibus

And the Chocolate Shop, yum

10:13 pm

harpjane

there are two ce words

10:13 pm

Jandy

jilli.. you're making me think of the movie... what was it called, about the boy who goes to a concentration camp.... is it Empire of the Sun?

10:13 pm

Jandy

O thanks harp.. don't have them!

10:13 pm

harpjane

and six cr words

10:14 pm

jillibus

I think I'd better go and have supper, lol!

10:14 pm

Jacula

ce + little Rosemary, then plural.

10:14 pm

Jandy

Got them....

10:14 pm

harpjane

ice cream break

10:15 pm

harpjane

im back

10:15 pm

Jacula

cr words are cr + METAL + PLURAL, black bird that caws, royal headgear and plural or verb form, plural black bird from before.

10:16 pm

Jandy

Got the singular straight off, Jac....

10:16 pm

Jandy

Of the ce, that is

10:16 pm

Jacula

Jandy - add a snake consonant for the next.

10:17 pm

Jandy

I am A Nidiot! Was trying to plural the plural.....

10:18 pm

Jandy

I have all the cr words, I think... I have a total of six, which is what Harp said

10:18 pm

jillibus

Yes, Jandy, and the book was written by a boy a friend of mine had a crush on -- I didn't know him -- and others I knew were unpleased about how kindly he wrote about the treatment they got. My dad was imprisoned as a civilian in Hong Kong and the treatment there was horrible -- a friend shot for having a radio, all starved. I didn't see him from when I was 12 until I was 22.

10:18 pm

Jacula

LOL. I hope Nidiot gets put into the Babble dictionary, if not Enable/Disable. LOL

10:18 pm

Jandy

that came from a Snoopy strip a long long time ago, Jac... A Nidiot and An Ucklehead!

10:19 pm

jillibus

Enuf awreddy -- going for supper -- sorry about the bad memories

10:19 pm

Jacula

jili _ I just read those and do not apologize!

10:19 pm

Jandy

Wow, jilli.... that's not bad memories, that's part of a rich and adventurous life you've had!

10:20 pm

Jacula

That's a sh*t life throws, jilli. You're old enough to know that by now. xxxx

10:21 pm

Jandy

Exactly, Jac! But it's what, in a terrible way, makes life interesting and makes us who we are, too! I loved hearing about your Shanghai, jilli!!!

10:21 pm

jillibus

Oh, and by the way, the colour of the school blazer was wrong -- it was deep purple, not maroon, because he went to the Cathedral Boys' School, which was Church of England, and used the Bishop's purple, but what did Spielberg know?

10:22 pm

Jandy

LOL! What indeed, jilli!

10:22 pm

Jacula

I'm going to wander off to sleep now. If I'm not up in time to go grocery shopping with my Mum later I will be in big trouble!

10:22 pm

harpjane

bbl jac

10:22 pm

pugmama763

sleep tight jac

10:22 pm

harpjane

sweet dreams

10:22 pm

I don't want to get you in trouble with your Mum, Jac! (Are we never too old for that?) Good night... thanks for the help and the laugh

10:23 pm

jillibus

Jac, SO glad you're not staying up all night as before!

10:23 pm

harpjane

funny how our mums still get us in trouble....

10:23 pm

Jacula

Despite beiung nearly 51m I still have to keep in with my Mum!:-((

That's a good girl, jac!

10:24 pm

I always find it wise myself, Jac!

10:24 pm

jillibus

night jac!

10:24 pm

harpjane

tr7?

10:25 pm

Jandy

disloyalty to your country, harp

10:25 pm

jillibus

tr7 -- betrayal of your country

10:25 pm

harpjane

thanks

10:26 pm

jillibus

and now I really depart -- back for the flip, I hope -- it's been a lovely cocktail hour for me xoxoxo all

10:26 pm

Jandy

Bye jilli! Enjoy your supper!

10:27 pm

Jandy

And thanks for sharing with us!

10:34 pm

vah

Jandy

Third letter w, for two of them, vah!

10:36 pm

Jandy

Sorry, but not for the 4/4s!!!!

10:37 pm

Jandy

I am missing the third so 4/4 but have the others... do you know which you're missing?

10:44 pm

vah

No I don't. Well, I do have the three 5/10 plurals, so i guess I have the 4/4s that go with them.

10:44 pm

Jandy

Clues for the st5/18 please?

10:44 pm

Jandy

I've got them all now, vah, so will have a quick look

10:45 pm

Jandy

Okay, vah, I think you need drunken so4/4...

10:45 pm

Jandy

10:47 pm

vah

10:47 pm

Jandy

jesdraggon

10:54 pm

Jandy

Hiya jess!

10:54 pm

Jandy

It's not exactly a walk in the park but I got down to the last 15 before I went to the list, so it can't be too horrible

10:55 pm

jesdraggon

so there's a reasonable chance i can hack it out in an hour... i'll give her a go :)

10:56 pm

Jandy

I think you can.. I did way too much chatting early in the piece!

10:58 pm

harpjane

i finished, fireworks, thank you for the help!
