2:02 am

sprite

when the game says it is 2 am, there is always a big lag. We think the servers are reset then, or something like that. Messages don't appear until after the hiccup. So if you keep hitting enter, they appear a lot of times.

Hey herin, what you said about your pc reminds me of the most romantic thing a guy ever said to me. It was, 'What we've got between us is like rocket fuel. We may crash and burn, but at least we'll have been once around the stars."

4:09 am

herinfernallady

Monkey i had to reboot it twice (nearly made it a third (out the door)

4:09 am

herinfernallady

Hydra that is so nerdie but very cute

4:10 am

hydra

He was a driving instructor, herin. The reason why I never passed my test. He moved in after the fifth lesson!

4:11 am

FMitch

Haha hydra

4:12 am

hydra

After that romantic revelation from years ago, I must bog off and do some work. Byeeeee!

4:12 am

herinfernallady

Enjoy Hydra

MonkeyGames

Oh, I just saw that three ducks, after what must have been a laborious quest from the end of the street where the cnal is, have found teh bakery: the Source of Bread. Good thing they haven't figured out the door yet. They're over there walking back and forth staring through the window.

4:19 am

MonkeyGames

Go Diem!

4:19 am

diem

thank you 1st one in 3 days

4:20 am

herinfernallady

Monkey that is cute

4:20 am

MonkeyGames

Must be the same three that followed alter and I for two blocks a few weeks ago.

4:22 am

lynxxx

You weren't dropping a trail of breadcrumbs so you could find your way home were you Monkey?

4:23 am

herinfernallady

Monkey Bread crumbs like the witch huh?

4:24 am

MonkeyGames

Heehee, can never guarantee that with a three-year-old in tow, but I don't THINK so. I think they were hoping to discover the Source of Bread... which they have now done.

4:24 am

herinfernallady

Monkey smart birds i hope teh town cares for them

4:26 am

MonkeyGames

These are mostly just wild and feral ducks. We have a group that will see to injured ones but as for the rest they don't need care; there are tons of canals and ponds everywherew ith all their natural foods, and hordes of eager children clutching stale bread. The ducks just hang out with the migratory ducks, the geese, and the swans. Guess I'm glad this isn't three swans down there-- once they decide to wander around residential streets there's no getting rid of them. NOT kidding.

4:27 am

herinfernallady

Still cute. Ruled by stomach me thinks

4:28 am

MonkeyGames

Ducks are. Except in breeding season. That gets ugly.

4:28 am

MonkeyGames

Stupid, I know, but could I get a clue for the ah4?

4:29 am

Jellen

ah4= sailor's greeting

4:29 am

MonkeyGames

Oh DUH! Thank you!!!

4:30 am

MonkeyGames

10 words to go...

4:30 am

MonkeyGames

All of them nonexistent...

4:30 am

herinfernallady

Then its feathers and squaking?

4:31 am

MonkeyGames

Female ducks sometimes get drowned under groups of males trying to get that crucial back-of-the-neck grip.

4:31 am

MonkeyGames

Who can clue the 1st and last ch4's?

4:32 am

herinfernallady

wow that is viscious

4:33 am

lynxxx

ch4.6 an uproar without the s on the end

4:33 am

MonkeyGames

Ducks are not gentle in the breedeing season. There are three in the local flock with old broken wings; that usually results from fighting.

4:33 am

MonkeyGames

Thanks!

4:33 am

lynxxx

ch4.9 c & what you give someone if they are crying or sad

4:34 am

MonkeyGames

Lest you worry about these three, they just don't need to fly. They walk and swim everywhere and have been going through life just fine for years.

4:34 am

MonkeyGames

Thanks again!

4:34 am

MonkeyGames

Completely missed that direction for the ch's!

4:35 am

herinfernallady

Stupid question how does one remove a program from the pc?

4:35 am

MonkeyGames

That can be easy or complicated and depends on what program.

4:36 am

herinfernallady

found it never mind (sigh not bright today)

4:37 am

Lorrie_in_SA

Just thought I would say hello to everyone - I only came across this site on Monday and have been a quiet little lamb all week - not my usual state I can assure you, but I think I was boggled by the Babble!

Jellen

Hi, Nono

5:59 am

Haz1558

Yes, my mother was something of a perfectionist where housework was concerned.

5:59 am

LoriP

LOL, G'd morning Haz. Years ago, I had an Uncle who'd come home every summer from Worcester, and always left a 50 cent piece above the door to see if us kids "cleaned there". He created great mmories for us.

6:00 am

I ment kje sorry

6:05 am

6:06 am

Haz1558

Yes, JBV. She came from a line of houseproud women. I've inherited some of the genes, but not all.

6:06 am

JBV

she also taught me how to sit on a windowsill with my butt hanging out so I could clean the outside of the windows - today a mother doing that would probably be accused of child abuse

6:06 am

kje

I figured it out diem : )

6:07 am

JBV

beautiful picture, diem - is that near where you live?

6:07 am

Haz1558

Oh, her method of doing the landing window was to get right outside the window. People passing might have thought she was attempting suicide on a regular basis. It used to frighten the life out of me.

6:07 am

Awy

how do u get those photos

6:08 am

Haz1558

She perched on a tiny ledge, hanging on with one hand and wiping madly with the other.

Sometimes when she was in spring cleaning mode, we would come home from school to find her flushed but triumphant. 'Can you see the difference?' We would have to admit that it looked as clean as ever. 'If you had seen the dirt of that lampshade!'

6:26 am

72 Temple Owl

6:26 am

Haz1558

Ah. Another strategic retreater. We should form a club.

6:26 am

LoriP

FM is often to blame for these things. She's quite rowdy.....

6:26 am

Haz1558

Oh, I remember now. You called for me as well (I read the chat log yesterday)

7:11 am

Inge2

I'm sorry to hear that, Carlee. Take care of yourself.

7:11 am

carleekat

the kids and I are fine... he has simply decided to become a very selfish bitter person instead of taking this life changing event and become a better person for overcoming his challeneges

7:11 am

herinfernallady

Hugs Carlee

7:12 am

carleekat

the kids and I talk..and we know where all of this is headed... and I think..ultimately they willhave a better relationship with dad in the end

7:12 am

Inge2

Must be very frustrating for you, Carlee.

7:12 am

Scrabbler

Too bad he has made that choice, but he is still grieving and I hope he can move to a better place in his mind.

7:13 am

carleekat

It was....but I've made my decision....and my decision is for my kids first... and I am not doing anything rash...or hasty... within a year...not within a month or week

7:13 am

Inge2

very level-headed, Carlee.

7:14 am

carleekat

and perhaps witin that year..he will get to a better place in his mind

7:14 am

Scrabbler

You must be a model for the kids--to show that a wife must be respected and loved by her husband.

7:14 am

herinfernallady

Hugs carlee

Scrabbler

You must protect yourself and the kids from the anger, hostility, negativity.

7:16 am

carleekat

7:19 am

Scrabbler

In pediatrics we teach parents of toddlers to use the phrase "If....., then...." to teach their kids about choices and consequences. That's what you are doing.

7:20 am

Scrabbler

Well, Carlee, you are sensible and you have a support system in place.

7:20 am

herinfernallady

Carlee loves

7:20 am

carleekat

7:24 am

carleekat

herin...my son..almost 16... and he has lost every single ounce of respect fro his father.. I have had to battle with myself as to enforce the "respect him he's stillyour father" or....allow him to see the truth of who his father has become and move forward and decide himself to not lie about the matter and be honest with himself....if was not his father... and he saw a dad treating a wife and kids way his father is...he'd kick that guy's a**

7:57 am

EvaNadine

Annie Pay day 0 dollars in my account to two weeks time. Bills paid and such and will have to burrow/ take $80 to pay for another bill. Sick of being broke and tired of fighting the never ending cycle of poverty. Scrabbler that is wonderful about Mary

EvaNadine

Scrabbler

The Ted Kennedy diagnosis made me relive the horror of Mary's diagnosis.

8:04 am

Anniebrook

herinfernallady

Hi BGL

8:15 am

EvaNadine

found some other awesome ani lines:

8:15 am

Atalante

lol sounds familiar BGL

8:15 am

EvaNadine

They say that the truth will set you free
But then again, so will a lie...
It depends if you're trying to get to the promised land
Or if you're just trying to get by.

* Promised Land

8:15 am

EvaNadine

So I walk like I'm on a mission cuz that's the way I groove.
I got more and more to do, I got less and less to prove.
It took me too long to realize that I don't take good pictures
Cuz I have the kind of beauty that moves.

* Evolve

8:15 am

EvaNadine

And we hold these truths to be self-evident:
Number one-- George W. Bush is not president.
Number two-- America is not a true democracy.
And, Number three-- the media is not fooling me.

* Self-Evident

8:15 am

EvaNadine

Love sets fire to your schedule,
And then calls an end to time.

* Star Matter

8:15 am

BGL

Thanks... it's good to have a day to just sit and play (while ignoring the houseowrk!)

8:16 am

redturtlehead

I must must do houseworkd today...so far just running and resting from it...

8:18 am

Scrabbler

Am I the only one not liking this grid?

8:18 am

Atalante

I refuse to do housework. My husband left the house as a rubbish tip, and he can clean it up when he gets back

8:18 am

redturtlehead

I have ambivalent feelings about it scrabbs.

8:18 am

Scrabbler

As in, "It is better than no grid at all?"

8:19 am

Atalante

its a nice grid!

8:19 am

redturtlehead

Nah its Meh, OK....

8:19 am

herinfernallady

You went Alone/

8:19 am

pugmama763

could anyone clue the ah6 please?

8:19 am

Scrabbler

My eyes/brain don't like it ...yet....I still have the migraine that I woke up with yesterday AM.

8:19 am

Judi

Morning, all. Oh, Ata - my DH is the same. Can't leave him unsupervised for a minute.

8:20 am

Scrabbler

Sneeze sound/word

8:20 am

redturtlehead

pug its a sneeze with an unusual spelling.

8:20 am

Scrabbler

Hi Judi---is he trainable?

8:20 am

herinfernallady

Lol.

8:20 am

pugmama763

had afeeling it was sneeze related just couldn't figure how to make it work

8:21 am

Judi

We're still in training, Scrabbler... going on 23 years now. His motto: "The world is my laundry basket. I shall not wont."

8:21 am

pugmama763

ty red

8:21 am

Scrabbler

My colleague says, "Males are trainable--start when they are little boys." She has a son, 3 step-sons, and her husband.

8:22 am

Scrabbler

So there is hope, Judi.

8:22 am

BGL

hehehe, Judi!

8:22 am

Scrabbler

Or: "My wife is my mother. I shall not wont."

8:22 am

Judi

Well, that's his problem. I always tell him he is the victim of an over-indulgent mother. She did everything for him.

8:23 am

BGL

I thank my mom-in-law - she did a GREAT job with my hubby! He cooks and does laundry - he just doesn't clean to my standards...

8:23 am

pugmama763

the older I get the more virtue I see in staying single

8:23 am

Atalante

so did my husband's mother. he's having a bit of a shock now lol

8:23 am

Judi

I have trained him to vacuum, mop and do odd jobs around the house. He's actually coming along well in his training.

8:23 am

Scrabbler

me too, pug, and all my friends are envious.

8:23 am

Scrabbler

Good job, Judi!!

8:24 am

herinfernallady

My B.f is perfectly trained. But he works alot and has me to tend to wifie duties.

8:24 am

Judi

Laundry and cooking still elude him. Probably just as well.

8:24 am

Scrabbler

When my nephew stays overnight here I train him and tell him that someday his wife will thank me.

8:25 am

Scrabbler

And that he will thank me.

8:25 am

Uniquity

My bf had a very demanding mother, he had done all the cleaning in their house since he was ten. In our apt, we share all duties EXCEPT dishes, which I have refusedto do for years.

8:26 am

Judi

I suppose we are fortunate compared to most, Scrabbs. I can't watch Wife Swap or Super Nanny without screaming at the television.

8:26 am

BGL

Okay - must take break. 25 to go and I am typing and retyping the same words... off to the kitchen I go. See you all later...

8:26 am

herinfernallady

I am too well pampered and cared for to mind being wifie

8:26 am

Scrabbler

Well, I must get ready for an early lunch with a friend before I work from 12-5.

8:26 am

Scrabbler

Enjoy the day everyone!

8:27 am

BGL

I agree about Wife Swap, Judi! I am always thankful for the balance of our life! :)

8:27 am

herinfernallady

Enjoy lunch Scrabbler

9:00 am

Haz1558

Hello FMitch!

9:00 am

Anniebrook

hello jane

9:00 am

Atalante

uni, I waved at you as I flew nearly over Nova Scotia the other day

9:00 am

FMitch

Hello Annie! and Haz and harp and Mrs Smug too

9:01 am

Uniquity

Hammy does tricks for attention whenever he is lonely...and will do *anything* for a sunflower seed (note the icon) He's given up on fear and will run off any height. It's worrisome.

9:01 am

Atalante

Dr Smug, please

9:01 am

FMitch

Bows in acknowledgement to Dr Smug

9:01 am

Uniquity

That's what that was! I knew I saw a tiny little Ata head and hand in an airplane over my head...did you see me waving back?

9:01 am

Haz1558

Darn. I forgot to curtsey to Ata.

9:02 am

harpjane

does anyone have an icon clue for me?

9:02 am

Haz1558

You'd think I'd have perfected it, having seen royalty this week and all.

9:02 am

Haz1558

<----------icon clue

9:02 am

ypsigirl

9:02 am

Atalante

9:02 am

Judi

Finito! Pyrotechnics!

9:02 am

FMitch

Love the pic Uni.

9:02 am

Haz1558

Congratulations ypsi!

9:02 am

Uniquity

Congrats ypsi, Judi!!!

9:03 am

Haz1558

Gosh, everybody is finishing at once. Well done to all.

9:03 am

Atalante

yay Judi!

9:03 am

FMitch

Congrats, wonderful firework display

9:03 am

Atalante

does he do somersaults yet, Uni?

9:03 am

Judi

Now I'm bored.

9:03 am

redshoes

if one can reheat, why can't one reco**?

9:04 am

harpjane

thanks haz, i'd forgotten all about those interesting little people!

9:04 am

Haz1558

I heard that hamsters can do triple axles with pike twists.

9:04 am

Haz1558

Glad it worked, harpjane!

9:04 am

Uniquity

Well, there are flips involved, but I doubt they are on purpose. I love when he balances on one foot and uses his other three to clean himself.

9:04 am

Atalante

those hamsters would indeed be smug

9:04 am

harpjane

off to get a new icon now

9:04 am

Atalante

I think we need video of that, Uni

9:04 am

Haz1558

Yes, smug and dizzy.

9:04 am

Babs1

I know i'm always mystified by what you can use re with and when you can't. Who made it up?

9:05 am

redshoes

probably someone named "re"

9:05 am

redshoes

very choosy about what he puts his name to, you know?

9:05 am

LoriP

***Wonders if the police should be called to report the smugging***

9:05 am

Atalante

when enable wants us to, and when it doesn't

9:05 am

Haz1558

There's probably a committee that sits every year. 'To re or not to re'

9:05 am

Uniquity

Ata - He's really quite impressive. Our cameras are old though and are too slow to really catch him move, as he is so fast. I have been trying to get a pic of it for days.

9:05 am

Babs1

good one re(dshoes)

9:06 am

redshoes

nice babs1, nice.

9:06 am

FMitch

groan Lori

9:06 am

redshoes

that is the question Haz.

9:06 am

Uniquity

I knew Lori would catch that...btw, the quotations marksin your profile aren't coming out properly. Check it out.

9:06 am

LoriP

***tough crowd***

9:07 am

Haz1558

Everybody runs to look at Lori's profile.

9:07 am

redshoes

don't worry Lori, Haz's (re)fe(re)nce to The Bard was worse.

9:07 am

LoriP

Hmmm, why did that happen? Oh well, I'm too lazy to change it. Thanks heavens red! :-)

9:08 am

Haz1558

(Debating whether to throw a tantrum or not)

9:08 am

LoriP

The upside of today is that the fog isn't burning off, so thusly defers my laundry plans.

9:09 am

Atalante

yay for fog!

9:10 am

LoriP

Are you jet lagged ATa Hari, or adjusted already. Had to Google Balut, I so wish that I hadn't......

9:10 am

FMitch

Ata adjusted?

9:10 am

Haz1558

You can't be jet lagged and smug.

9:11 am

Haz1558

Smugness outweighs jet lag every time. Look at Michael Winner.

9:11 am

Atalante

sorry, lori. its not pleasant, is it?!

9:11 am

Atalante

unjet lagged now :D

9:11 am

FMitch

LOL

9:11 am

elder

hello everyone, for those of you in the Uk is it not lovely, to have the sun smiling, so good for the soul.

9:11 am

Haz1558

He even has his own jet - cue extra smugness to conquer the lag.

9:11 am

Atalante

I've even just done sudoku

9:11 am

Haz1558

Hello elder.

9:12 am

FMitch

Hi elder, it is indeed between showers tthough.

9:12 am

LoriP

G'd morning elder. Send the sun across the pond if you please.

9:12 am

elder

Haz see you have given a clue :) what a kind though.

9:13 am

Haz1558

You're welcome, elder. Ata may be smug, I try to be kind.

9:13 am

Anniebrook

bye dear babblers. off to do chores...ugh

9:13 am

Haz1558

Bye Annie!

9:13 am

LoriP

No Annie, chores are evil! :-) Have a great day.

9:13 am

Atalante

I can be kind *and* smug at the same time

9:13 am

FMitch

You are so brave and determined Annie!

9:14 am

LoriP

Smund ?

9:14 am

elder

Lori, I expect it's drifting to you, as out weather for our Bank holiday is grim. Enjoy.:)

9:14 am

Anniebrook

thank you, thank you! poof!

9:14 am

Haz1558

That's true, Ata.

9:14 am

elder

Ata smug - surely not :)

9:14 am

LoriP

Thanks elder, much appreciated.

9:15 am

Atalante

*grin*

9:15 am

Haz1558

Smug? She defines the word, elder. (this is all in fun, you understand)

9:15 am

FMitch

Ata did you leave a trail of smug all over Oregon too?

9:15 am

Jandel

Hi everyone. Is the co6 27 related to others?

9:15 am

Atalante

I was just thinking of you know who ...

9:15 am

LoriP

Smug of tea anyone?

9:15 am

elder

Yw , oh! to have the power to grant more...

9:15 am

Haz1558

co6/27 - one on an equal level with another

9:16 am

LoriP

No jandel

9:16 am

Uniquity

Watch you don't get smugged or smuggled.

9:16 am

Haz1558

Yes, so was I, Atalante.

9:16 am

Atalante

oh, of course. well, all over Astoria anyway. Giving Viggo some of my prints was utter smugness

9:16 am

elder

Haz I understand....

9:16 am

LoriP

We are her loyal smugjects...

9:16 am

FMitch

Gasp, youdid!?

9:16 am

elder

Haz, similar to FMitch causing trouble:)

9:17 am

Haz1558

Good. It's just that it was taken wrongly by somebody once and horribly mangled.

9:17 am

Uniquity

Sometimes, when I can't sleep at night, I think of her smug and fall peacefully to slumber...

9:17 am

Haz1558

Trouble? Fmitch defines the word.

9:17 am

elder

Oh dear um... unpleasant ...

9:17 am

FMitch

Hey hey!

9:17 am

elder

Haz LOL..

9:18 am

FMitch

9:18 am

LoriP

Oh, oops FM's still here..... :)

9:18 am

elder

hello FMitch i see your rising :)

9:18 am

Haz1558

Yes, she is but it does her no harm to know what trouble she causes.

9:18 am

Uniquity

Hey now...no attacks or I might have to ask someone to leave.. ;)

9:19 am

FMitch

I am a rising star :)

9:19 am

Haz1558

You're shaping up beautifully in your deputy role, Uniquity.

9:19 am

elder

FMitch.. I see, a quote from my Fair Lady and looked what happened to her :)..

9:19 am

FMitch

Well done elder, you get today's prize for spotting that.

9:19 am

Uniquity

We wouldn't want to offend anyone...enough sensitivity about as it is.

9:20 am

LoriP

Uni always did toe the line. Didn't get my genes.....

9:20 am

elder

Uni, i would like to stay, as i have just arrived.. Please.. could it be someone else?

9:20 am

pabtrek

9:24 am

Hello Vi :)

hello Vi.

9:47 am

Atalante

in the "Mammoth Book of Vampire Romance", its a compilation of short stories edited by one of the UK's main paranormal agents. and all stories of not "typical" romance status. none are vampire meets girl, sucks blood, shags, lives happily ever after

9:48 am

Atalante

it was her *first* short story submission to an agent

9:48 am

Boobear

hi Vicuna

9:48 am

FMitch

That says something for her talent then!

9:49 am

Vicuna

I like to think that these paranormal agents of whom you speak are themselves undead or something.

9:50 am

Atalante

trish (the agent) is canadian. does that count?

9:50 am

redturtlehead

another Babble Story
Several ch5,16 were sitting with their ay5,16 in the lo4,6 having just arrived at the theater in several ch5,18. The ch4,8 (or sh4,6) of one of them, a da4,7, was driven by a notorious ha8,60 who had hidden his ha4,6 under the ha4,6 on the lockbox. He ga4,7 to get it and bumped his he4,6. The oh4,5 and ah4,5 where atypical of the invective normally spewing from this ya5,16. The loud cries ec6,27 throughout the oc5,14 od4,5 and the co4,6 crowd oh4,6 and oo5,14.

Gu 4,8 and furious the co6,27, a ga4,8 ch4,7 co5,15 ch4,6 to his lady, took a ch4,9 of al4,4 juice and told himself to remain co4,5. Sh4,6 and sh5,14 with only one sh4,5 he sh6,24 the dog that he wanted to sp4,7 and ga5,20 the ha8,60. Ah6,27 went the ha8,60, ec4,6 of these ho5,16 cause me to sneeze. Eg4,7 said the co6,27, do I hear an ec4,6? Whatâ€™s the de4,5? Go to ga4,6!

2:34 pm

KnightTime

2:34 pm

nbjasmine

2:34 pm

KnightTime

thanks, these small grids inspire boredom

2:35 pm

KnightTime

enough to make one a ha8,60

2:36 pm

nbjasmine

at least i got to finish this one. last couple were no-go's for me. i only wish i could be a ha8 in my life now. sadly, i have children to set an example (or be a warning) for

2:36 pm

cwestexan

thanks nbj!!!

2:37 pm

KnightTime

true, mine are grown, but still no desire in me to start a drug habit :)

2:37 pm

nbjasmine

yw, glad you got it

2:38 pm

nbjasmine

i did all that in the 80's. well not THAT much. but my share of experimenting

2:38 pm

KnightTime

didn't we all

2:39 pm

nbjasmine

enjoyed it, too. but now, along with kids, my husband would be visited by the men in suits if any drug hanky panky was going on

2:40 pm

kje

80s? not 70s? : ) ha4/6 was so passe by the 80s - LOL

2:40 pm

kje

hello all

2:41 pm

nbjasmine

not in my circles. shrooms, lsd, maryjane and grateful dead. we were in palo alto and having a lot of fun

2:43 pm

kje

I graduated HS 1981...and it seemed by the time I got to college that people were starting to slow on the drug scene a bit, meaning it became more marginilized rather than mainstreamish

2:43 pm

Boobear

clue for co 5/18 please

2:44 pm

nbjasmine

i thought you were younger than me. i gradded in 85

2:44 pm

KnightTime

i graduated HS in 1971, drug culture was in full swing

2:44 pm

kje

no 5/18, but the co 5/14 is PT of pigeon sound

2:45 pm

kje

yes, that is when I think of it being Knight

2:45 pm

kje

I am 44 jasmine, but graduated early from HS

2:45 pm

kje

so, yes that would make me older than you (thank you SO much for pointing that out - LOL)

2:46 pm

nbjasmine

well, there was a big resurgence in the 80's of such activity. i DIDN'T do coke

2:47 pm

kje

oh yes, coke was big in 80s, as was heroin, but LSD and speed and such was earlier I think

2:47 pm

kje

either way, I missed it all - bummer - LOL

2:49 pm

nbjasmine

we were into the so called "natural" drugs. how lsd fits with that, not sure. but it was the "thinking" persons trip of choice as stanford

2:49 pm

nbjasmine

*at*

2:49 pm

kje

actually, the only one I am curious about is LSD - some of the writings say it was amzng for creativity...as long as you didn't have a bad trip

2:50 pm

nbjasmine

nowadays there is meth which scares the beejesus out of me- yikes!

2:51 pm

jillibus

our only drugs were nicotine and alcohol back in the 40s

2:51 pm

kje

in B-more, it was still all about the heroin - and was devestatingly sad in certain neighborhoods, but you are right, the drgs seem to be getting meaner and more addictive

2:51 pm

jillibus

hi all

2:51 pm

nbjasmine

i never had a bad trip. ever.

2:51 pm

kje

hi jilli

2:51 pm

nbjasmine

jilli- pot was around then

2:52 pm

Boobear

clue for co 4/5 please

2:53 pm

jillibus

maybe, but it wasn't considered cool -- all of it was around long before -- there's an old song, "Morphine Bill and Cocaine Sue, were walking down the Avenue..."

2:53 pm

kje

well, at least in your circles... opiates and coke date back to the late 1800 early 1900 although their bad effects were not clearly understood. There was a famous surgeon at Hopkins who was a opiate addict and then switched to coke in the late 1800s

2:53 pm

kje

co 4/5 - opp of hot/warm

2:53 pm

periwinkle

hello, help with The A next to the L please

2:55 pm

kje

desert actually - LOL

2:55 pm

nbjasmine

kje- i don't eat that for dessert

2:55 pm

jillibus

I think it's 20s -- "Oh, honey have a [sniff] on me, honey have a [sniff] on me" Several verses -- will google

2:57 pm

kje

yes, 20s would sound right - coke was popular in the jazz age

2:57 pm

lmj643

last one...ha8/60 clues?

2:57 pm

nbjasmine

love it, jilli. wasn't there reference to reefer madness and stuff, too?

2:58 pm

kje

ha 8 - potato breakfast dish + noggin

2:58 pm

kje

lmj - it is slang for a marijuana user

2:58 pm

nbjasmine

well there you go kje. nice clue. no questionable association there

2:58 pm

nbjasmine

6:23 pm

westford

my son would never wear shorts in the summer just heavy jeans then he got married...

6:24 pm

stidmama

6:36 pm

JBV

6:36 pm

KrisE

6:37 pm

dcseain

hell, Natts, jbv, krisE

6:37 pm

LadyNatts

6:37 pm

JBV

6:37 pm

JBV

snap, Lady!

6:37 pm

KrisE

hi dc and Lady

6:37 pm

LadyNatts

hell to you too, dc :D

6:37 pm

JBV

hell and hello

6:38 pm

JBV

dc, haven't "seen" you for a while - how's things?

6:39 pm

dcseain

alright, long 6-day week this week, and i'm running on about 4.5h sleep :)

6:39 pm

LadyNatts

I made the mistake of babbling in the middle of the night, when I woke up at 2:30 a.m... finished the grid, and now I have nothing to occupy me until hubby gets home

6:39 pm

dcseain

just starting the househunting thing, planning to move to Arlington, VA

6:39 pm

LadyNatts

so sorry, dc

6:39 pm

jessic4

fireworks

6:39 pm

dcseain

i did it through lickety @ wk and uploaded it now that home.

6:40 pm

KrisE

Woohoo, jess!

6:40 pm

JBV

I lived in Arlington many years ago - on Columbia Pike

6:40 pm

dcseain

congrats, jessic4!!!

6:40 pm

LadyNatts

yay jessic4

6:40 pm

KrisE

Good luck in the househunt!

6:40 pm

dcseain

i'm looking along there, now jbv, i lived near Columbia Pk and Geo Mason some years ago myself.

6:40 pm

godthaab

FINISHED! VERY EXCELLENT!

6:40 pm

KrisE

woohoo god!

6:41 pm

KrisE

(I like saying that :)

6:41 pm

dcseain

congrats, godthaab!!!

6:41 pm

JBV

yep, my old neighborhood - I remember it very well

6:41 pm

LadyNatts

That's something that strikes me about US citizens... they seem to move around the country a lot. I'm living in the very house I grew up in - parents bought it when I was 2.5

6:41 pm

godthaab

Thanks.

6:42 pm

KrisE

Some stay - around here, if you move from Gloucester to Wakefield (about 10mi,you've moved far away)

6:42 pm

dcseain

Natts, Arlington is only 15mi from where i grew up, and next door to where i was born. I've lived in Northern VA or DC for all but 2 years of my life

6:42 pm

SamanthaJoy

That's unusual these days in the US, Lady. We're generally expected to not live with our parents anymore when we hit our late teens; to be "living with one's MOM" is a sign of failure, esp. for men.

6:42 pm

JBV

Lady, when I moved to DC from NYC I was the first person in my family to venture out beyond the homestead, I grew up in the house my mother was born in (in 1919)

6:42 pm

LadyNatts

ah, then people do gravitate back home, then.

6:43 pm

dcseain

.my parents moved here from Ohio before i was born, because my dad got a job with the US Gov't

6:43 pm

KrisE

my dad was a Gov't employee, too, dc!

6:44 pm

LadyNatts

oh no - my ex-husband and I moved in here after parents moved out to live in the country. I had only lived on my own (in the same city) for about 3 years.

6:44 pm

dcseain

mine was Secret Service. I'm working for Customs now.

6:44 pm

KrisE

Mine was internal revenue; before that the US Army

6:44 pm

dcseain

my sister lives about 5 miles from mom, in the next town north. my goal, from age 4, was to move back inside the beltway again.

6:45 pm

LadyNatts

It's nice being in a familiar place. Many of the neighbours who watched me grow up have now watched my children grow up. And my kids would love to keep the house if I ever moved away.

6:45 pm

KrisE

Is that going to be an up-in-price move, dc?

6:46 pm

dcseain

no, KrisE, i live in Reston, Arlington will actually be cheaper.

6:46 pm

dcseain

my sister and i look forward to selling mom's house someday. We don't like the neighbourhood, though it was a nice place to grow up in back then.

6:47 pm

KrisE

Lots of tech in Reston

6:47 pm

Lindrickway

hi guys, just popped in for a very quick minute between naps to say hi

6:47 pm

LadyNatts

6:47 pm

KrisE

Woohoo, LIndy! How are you feeling?

6:47 pm

dcseain

howdy, lindrick!

6:48 pm

Lindrickway

i'm feeling really great kris thanks

6:48 pm

Lindrickway

6:48 pm

JBV

interesting chat, can I interrupt for another clue? need one more o from the dead center - I have od 4, oh 4

6:48 pm

dcseain

6:48 pm

Lindrickway

Lindrickway

6:48 pm

Lindrickway

6:48 pm

dcseain

6:48 pm

AsGreen

Lind - just popped on to see if kje was here. glad to see you back. should we make you laugh?

6:49 pm

Lindrickway

i can laugh asgreen it doesn't hurt

6:49 pm

Lindrickway

so go ahead

6:49 pm

AsGreen

Perfect grid for you to come back to - it's cute and friendly

6:49 pm

JBV

I think I have that one, dc - plural of theater

6:49 pm

LadyNatts

oc5 is a color (I think) ... spelled different than how I would spell it.

6:49 pm

KrisE

Ok - someone tell a joke for LIndy

6:49 pm

KrisE

I have the oc5, but not the od or the oh

6:50 pm

JBV

ah, thanks, Lady!!

6:50 pm

SamanthaJoy

Um. All the jokes I know are from the fourth grade. They're all in the "what's brown and sticky?" category

6:50 pm

dcseain

re oc5 and yelow oc5 are both colours, if this one spelled funny in the grid.

6:50 pm

LadyNatts

you're welcome!

6:50 pm

LadyNatts

KrisE ... dc clued it, sorta... he had a great ID** but you use an O instead

6:51 pm

dcseain

i have fun with punny clues :)

6:51 pm

JBV

1 more word - a c- but since I didn't use the list- not sure what I need, I have 6 ch - are there more?

6:51 pm

KrisE

Thanks, Lady (and DC)- I'm thick today

6:51 pm

Lindrickway

is it a nice grid?

6:51 pm

KrisE

What is brown and sticky?

6:51 pm

JBV

and 6 co and 1 cr

6:51 pm

SamanthaJoy

It's a bad word of a grid

6:51 pm

SamanthaJoy

A stick!

6:51 pm

Lindrickway

don't know what is brown and sticky?

6:51 pm

LadyNatts

as for the OH.... Just shorten your oo by one vowel.

6:51 pm

AsGreen

I got to 50 before going to the list

6:52 pm

dcseain

7 COs, 6 CHs, and a CR

6:52 pm

Lindrickway

oh i might just have a go since i am awake!!

6:52 pm

dcseain

this one is tougher than it looks, but not godawful.

6:52 pm

JBV

ok, thanks, dc, i'll keep looking...

6:52 pm

LadyNatts

alas, I only got to 43 before going to the list... but it was 2:30 a.m!

6:52 pm

KrisE

thx lady

6:52 pm

dcseain

marmite is brown and sticky :)

6:53 pm

SamanthaJoy

It's not as sticky as a stick!

6:53 pm

KrisE

Jump in, Lindy -

6:53 pm

LadyNatts

so is pine sap (or gum)

6:53 pm

Lindrickway

i have done kris!! lol

6:54 pm

KrisE

I'm at 20 and I just started using the list

6:54 pm

AsGreen

it's no where as bad as yesterday's!

6:54 pm

dcseain

we used to get in trouble from the pine tar on our clothes. we used t spend lots of time in a white pine grove near home.

6:54 pm

LadyNatts

there were 2 or 3 grids I didn't finish in the last week... very disappointing.

6:54 pm

dcseain

true, asgreen!

6:54 pm

JBV

well, I only have one more word so I think I can do this without the list

6:54 pm

dcseain

go, jbv!

6:55 pm

SamanthaJoy

I just quit yesterday's. I don't give two hoots about a rating and it was killing my peace

6:55 pm

LadyNatts

ooohhh... good for you, JBV!

6:55 pm

Lindrickway

go jbv go

6:55 pm

KrisE

I haven't finished any all week. Too much work! Crap!

6:55 pm

KrisE

Go JBV, go!

6:55 pm

LadyNatts

I think the key is to be playing when the chat is thick with clues (and paying attention to it). I sometimes dive in with my eyes closed and miss all of that.

6:56 pm

dcseain

i can easily see why samantha. i was at work and bored, so trudged on through yesterday.

6:56 pm

SamanthaJoy

DC, why do you use a Dvorak keyboard?

6:57 pm

KrisE

And the icons should be clues today :)

6:57 pm

dcseain

i had trouble with qwerty, gave dvorak a go 13 years ago, never looked back.

6:58 pm

SamanthaJoy

okey doke!

6:58 pm

dcseain

dvorak so much easier. i'd not noticed the right hand does nothing at all on a qwerty layout, esp since i space left-handed.

6:59 pm

SamanthaJoy

My right hand seems to do all the work when I type! But then I don't type as one is "supposed" to

6:59 pm

Lindrickway

have one column greyed out already!! woohoo my brain is still working!!

6:59 pm

LadyNatts

I don't even know that I've ever heard of or seen a Dvorak keyboard before.

6:59 pm

LadyNatts

Yay Lindy! Go, lindy, go!

6:59 pm

Lindrickway

thanks lady

7:00 pm

dcseain

my keyboard looks like qwerty, i just use a dvorak driver; built-is security device against the clueless :D

7:02 pm

SamanthaJoy

That is one fo the funnier things I've ever heard!!!!!!!!!!!!!

7:02 pm

KrisE

clue for ec4/6 and 5/7?

7:03 pm

JBV

need some help here - I have four co 4/6, one co 5/14, and one co 4/5 - who will set off the fireworks for me????

7:03 pm

dcseain

http://xkcd.com/52/

7:03 pm

SamanthaJoy

ec 4/6 is what you hear back when you holler down a canyon

7:03 pm

dcseain

ec4 sort of lie Spanish H, then past.

7:04 pm

KrisE

I have that one, Samantha

7:04 pm

KrisE

Thx, dc! (Thanks, Samantha, too)

7:04 pm

SamanthaJoy

Than change the last vowel

7:04 pm

SamanthaJoy

Then*

7:05 pm

KrisE

jbv, you need a co6/27, I think

7:05 pm

KrisE

I'd clue it, but I dont' have it :)

7:05 pm

dcseain

co6 - to lead together/jointly, as an organization

7:05 pm

JBV

well, I tried cohere, but it's not here

7:06 pm

KrisE

thx, dc!

7:06 pm

KrisE

it's the end of the ha8

7:06 pm

SamanthaJoy

co + he 4/6, though

7:06 pm

JBV

thank you, dc - that's fireworks for me!

7:06 pm

dcseain

ha8 is know to describe a relatve of mine.

7:06 pm

LadyNatts

whoot, JBV! WTG

7:06 pm

dcseain

congrats, jbv!!! :D

7:06 pm

KrisE

Woohoo, JBV!

7:06 pm

LadyNatts

LOL dc

7:07 pm

Lindrickway

WTG jbv WOOHOO

7:07 pm

KrisE

probably some of my relatives, too, dc

7:07 pm

LadyNatts

something about that ha4... really goes to your he4.

7:08 pm

LadyNatts

I have relatives more likely to be po7's

7:08 pm

KrisE

and your waisline

7:08 pm

KrisE

Sorry - misisng the po7

7:09 pm

SamanthaJoy

There is no PO7

7:09 pm

LadyNatts

lol, krisE, there is no PO7

7:09 pm

SamanthaJoy

There is no PO, period

7:09 pm

KrisE

No, I mean the refernce, Lady - what are your relatives? Potatoes?

7:10 pm

SamanthaJoy

pooheads!

7:10 pm

SamanthaJoy

AAAAAAWWWKKK! I said a word!

7:10 pm

LadyNatts

reference to today's ha8... and dc's relatives... mine would be more like po*h4s

7:10 pm

JBV

that's funny, KrisE- unless you can smoke potatoes,I don't think so...

7:10 pm

pam

hi, all

7:10 pm

SamanthaJoy

AND I typoed! AAAWWWKKKK!

7:10 pm

Lindrickway

7:10 pm

KrisE

Oh, dear! I'm so slow! I may have to pack up and go home and eat!

7:10 pm

LadyNatts

hi pam

7:10 pm

KrisE

Hi Pam!

7:11 pm

SamanthaJoy

Got the munchies, Kris?

7:11 pm

KrisE

No - it's past dinnertime, and I'm still at work

7:11 pm

LadyNatts

it's okay, KrisE... there's no fish involved when you don't get a reference to something in the chat that's not in the grid...

7:11 pm

pam

hi, lind! how did it go?

7:11 pm

KrisE

Fish sounds good!

7:11 pm

Lindrickway

it went very well pam and i have suffered no pain at all

7:12 pm

icepyro

I had fish... it wasnt so great

7:12 pm

pam

just trying to read chog and the ha8 makes no sense to my addled self

7:12 pm

pam

That is GREAT, lind! Wooooo Hooooo

7:12 pm

Lindrickway

thanks pam

7:12 pm

SamanthaJoy

Look, all, I have to go. My house is a sty and I want to be able to snuggle on my husband when he comes home soon, so i've got work to do. See y'all tomorrow!

7:12 pm

JBV

that's great, Lind - we were all sending you get well thought waves

7:12 pm

KrisE

DC-- the co4 after the co6...is that somebody you'd find in a brothel? ;)

7:12 pm

Lindrickway

7:12 pm

LadyNatts

bye samantha!

7:13 pm

KrisE

Bye Samantha!

7:13 pm

pam

bye, samantha

7:13 pm

JBV

no, KrisE - that's the fish we keep sending each other

7:13 pm

LadyNatts

lol JBV!

7:13 pm

LadyNatts

I thought we were doing tuna today, not salmon!

7:13 pm

KrisE

Fish!

7:14 pm

icepyro

Im starting to want sushi now

7:15 pm

KrisE

I'd be happy with goldfish crackers

7:15 pm

KrisE

I'd be happy with goldfish crackers

7:16 pm

Shawndra

You're all making me hungry :) for everything except sushi.

7:16 pm

dcseain

i grew up with fresh-caught trout and crawdads, the latter, obviously, not a fish.

7:16 pm

icepyro

whats wrong with sushi?

7:16 pm

KrisE

Ok - rather than keep whining, I'm going to pack up and go home for the last 8 words. See you in a bit -- Lindy it's so great to hear from you-I'm glad it went well!

7:16 pm

icepyro

crawdads... I havent had any of them since I moved out here

7:16 pm

KrisE

*poof*

7:16 pm

dcseain

mmmm... tamago :D

7:17 pm

dcseain

bye, krisE! hasta

7:17 pm

Shawndra

just not something I'm fond of.

7:17 pm

Lindrickway

bye kris

7:17 pm

Lindrickway

thanks kris

7:17 pm

Elsh

i don't like sushi either. oh and hi.

7:17 pm

LadyNatts

I should have grown up near the ocean. When we go to a restaurant, I'm more likely to order salmon (even badly prepared) than I am to order rib-eye steak.

7:18 pm

LadyNatts

hi elsh, how are you?

7:18 pm

Elsh

i'm ok, and you?

7:18 pm

icepyro

heh... I didnt even like salmon until I moved out here and had it prepared different than fried...

7:18 pm

Lindrickway

hi elsh

7:18 pm

pam

hi, elsh

7:19 pm

Elsh

i like salmon, but not raw.

7:19 pm

dcseain

i always hated steak back when i ate meat. never was that big on beef at all.

7:19 pm

dcseain

howdy, elsh!!

7:19 pm

Elsh

i love cooked salmon.

7:19 pm

Elsh

hi lind and pam and dc!

7:19 pm

Elsh

i never liked beef either. i was vegetarian for 11 years and although i eat meat now, not beef.

7:20 pm

LadyNatts

you have gone vegetarian, dc? I'd be interested to hear what sorts of menus you dine on. My hubby has never eaten meat in his life, and it is a challenge for this omnivore.

7:20 pm

icepyro

what about pork?

7:20 pm

Elsh

well i don't eat pork because pigs are intelligent and sweet animals, might sound weird, but i just can't do it.

7:20 pm

pam

can someone clue the ha8?

7:21 pm

LadyNatts

it's a compound word, pam.... consists of two h4 words.

7:21 pm

dcseain

some one who smokes too much and fries their brain, pam ;) then they're hungry

7:21 pm

Shawndra

mmm that sounds good ice. Just last week I had some pulled pork BBQ. The smell of the sauce hit me at least 4 car lengths fromthe restaurant. yum!

7:22 pm

dcseain

pork was very, very, rare in my upbringing. dad's family doesn't eat it at all, and half of mom's family are jews.

7:22 pm

pam

thanks and how the heck is that a word, dc?

7:22 pm

dcseain

i've been ovo-lacto veggie for 18 years now.

7:22 pm

icepyro

mmmm BBQ sand with some coleslaw on it ... nice and sloppy.. sounds wonderful

7:22 pm

dcseain

you hang out in the wrong cicrles, pam, or at least more law-abiding than mine ;)

7:22 pm

Shawndra

drool...oh sorry <grabs a napkin>

7:22 pm

pam

pork was served on paper when I was young, LOL

7:22 pm

LadyNatts

I do eat pork, though I do agree with you, Elsh. I'm not particularly fond of eating it, except certain cuts. But then, being married to a vegetarian doesn't give me much opportunity to eat meat anyway.

7:23 pm

pam

trust me, there are many in my family, dcs... pot h's, too

7:23 pm

icepyro

hmm where was this bbq place? Ive only had truly good bbq once since I moved to cali

7:23 pm

LadyNatts

sorry, dc... what's an ovo-lacto veggie? someone who still eats eggs and dairy?

7:23 pm

Elsh

I wish my husband would be less fond of meat...I would have stayed vegetarian otherwise. But it's just too difficult so I haven't been veg for years.

7:23 pm

dcseain

indeed so, Natts :)

7:23 pm

Elsh

lacto-ovo eats dairy and egg

7:24 pm

Elsh

i used to be that type

7:24 pm

dcseain

what's life without heavy cream, butter, and eggs.

7:24 pm

pam

I call myself a pescetarian as I eat fish

7:24 pm

LadyNatts

ah, that would describe my hubby too. But he is the pickiest eater on the planet.

7:24 pm

pam

LOLOLOL, dcs! Sconeless?

7:24 pm

Elsh

i thought about going pescetarian after i wasn't veggie anymore, but my husband wants meat too much and preparing separate things would just be too much.

7:25 pm

Elsh

he wants other meats i should say

7:25 pm

dcseain

scones, biscuits, muffins, cakes, pies, candies, ice cream... :D

7:25 pm

pam

whipped cream...

7:25 pm

LadyNatts

Elsh, that's what I find difficult too. My kids are true carnivores (and 2 of them still live with us), and I'm classic omnivore (can go for days without meat), but hubby is picky picky picky vegetarian.

7:26 pm

traveller

I say let him do the cooking

7:26 pm

Elsh

My husband is picky too, unfortunately it mostly means we eat junk :p

7:26 pm

dcseain

i'm not too uptight about my veggism.

7:26 pm

dcseain

don't know if i'll stay this way.

7:27 pm

Lindrickway

well gotta go and rest for a bit bbl

7:27 pm

LadyNatts

lol traveller... good advice, often I do, but I get tired of the whining after awhile.

7:27 pm

dcseain

ive mainly stuck with it for environmental reasons.

7:27 pm

Elsh

i was glad i didn't eat meat for 11 years, would have preferred to stay veggie. but now that i'm not i really do like salmon and such.

7:27 pm

LadyNatts

take care, lindy... hope to see you back again soon!

7:27 pm

Elsh

and fish is good for your health

7:27 pm

Elsh

see you lindy

7:27 pm

pam

I stopped eating meat because it disagrees with me, so while I am not uptight about it, after 27 odd years, I am unwilling to eat meat

7:27 pm

pam

bye, lind!

7:27 pm

icepyro

If I go too long without meat, I start craving a nice new york steak cooked med rare with a good wine sauce I make.. omg... my fangs are growing just thinking about it

7:28 pm

LadyNatts

lol icepyro. that's kinda my state as well. I love vegetarian food, but after awhile, I just crave meat.

7:28 pm

pam

I loved it, ice, but it really, really did a number on me

7:29 pm

LadyNatts

are we all ravenous now?

7:29 pm

icepyro

well I'll eat an extra steak next time for you

7:29 pm

icepyro

lol actually Im pretty full on the cheap fish filet sandwich I had earlier, but my mouth is watering

7:30 pm

dcseain

severaly of you my find this thread about the usage of 'even', of interest: http://tinyurl.com/3kgqg7 it addresses aspberger's and autism in the comments, too.

7:30 pm

Shawndra

Hubby just delivered dinner <grabs hankie and sneezes> My hungries are gone now. Back later.

7:30 pm

Elsh

i'm hungry, i even just went grocery shopping before this convo, haha.

7:30 pm

dcseain

on that note, i must off to bed. Hope yall have a great night or what, and catuch you another day :D

7:30 pm

Elsh

7:30 pm

8:35 pm

lbdawger

8:35 pm

featherbee

now if i could only get him to sleep past 5:30. once he starts to sense daylight, that's it.

8:35 pm

Scrabbler

Go Nicky go!

8:36 pm

lbdawger

put up some extra dark curtains in his room, feather

8:36 pm

featherbee

i can't wait to someday sleep in till 8am. what a luxury that would be. heck, even 7 would be great anymore.

8:36 pm

featherbee

we have room darkening shades, but still light creeps in at the edges, and he must sense it

8:36 pm

Jindigo

sprinkle a little Tylenol PM on his applesauce ;)

8:37 pm

Lindrickway

aaawww (((( feather)))))))

8:37 pm

Scrabbler

No, feather, it is a conspiracy: kids vs parents.

8:37 pm

Lindrickway

try shades and drapes feather

8:37 pm

featherbee

it's definitely a consipiracy. the days nick sleeps in a little, daniel wakes up at 6:30. the stinkers take turns.

8:37 pm

lbdawger

8:37 pm

Scrabbler

Duct tape and bungee cords work wonders.

lbdawger

8:40 pm

featherbee

daniel does! i give a deadly "look". i had a headstart before i had him, perfecting it on my school kids.

8:40 pm

Scrabbler

My father used to put his hands on his belt buckle, to threaten taking it off.

8:41 pm

featherbee

nick wilts at any slight frown. he bit me once when nursing, i yelped, and he ended up very sad and upset!

8:41 pm

Scrabbler

Yes, feather, the "teacher's look."

8:41 pm

lbdawger

awwwww

8:41 pm

featherbee

my kids stand no chance

8:41 pm

lbdawger

we call it the "mom" look

8:42 pm

Jindigo

thanks Feather and Ibd

8:42 pm

featherbee

but on the other hand, if anyone grins within 5 feet of nick, he starts to laugh. he thinks his brother is the funniest thing on earth.

8:42 pm

Lindrickway

I no longer need the look with my kids LOL

8:42 pm

lbdawger

let's hope he always thinks that, feather

8:43 pm

lbdawger

I saw ya5/26 but, for some reason, didn't type it in until later. I guess the intermet chat and e-mail thing confused me into thinking it's a proper noun rather than a jubliant expression.

11:19 pm

jillibus

ha8 -- corned beef ha** + noggin

11:19 pm

GreyWoulf

of course! The only compound word I didn't try

11:20 pm

GreyWoulf

how about the lo5?

11:21 pm

jillibus

knight did a hilarious babble story full of clues at 2:17 grid time if you want to go to the backlog, lol!

11:21 pm

jillibus

lo5 -- went to the british bathroom?

11:22 pm

Frog Momma

shoe

11:22 pm

GreyWoulf

I have to admit that I have done that the past couple of times I have finished the grid -- I usually don't have the energy to chat.... the one time I do, everybody is somewhere else

11:22 pm

GreyWoulf

present company excepted, of course

11:22 pm

Frog Momma

sorry - newbie here and I entered my word in the chat box. sigh.

11:22 pm

jillibus

well, woulf, I'm here to clue

11:23 pm

LadyNatts

hi gang...

11:23 pm

LadyNatts

happens even to veterans, Frog Momma... the penalty box is always full of treats

11:23 pm

jillibus

ok, frog -- we've all done it from time to time and the PB (penatly box) is full of goodies

11:23 pm

GreyWoulf

No worries, Frog Momma -- and welcome

11:23 pm

LadyNatts

11:24 pm

jillibus

Hi LadyNatts

11:24 pm

jillibus

yep, natts!

11:24 pm

Frog Momma

thanks - i'm lurking a bit - played a few yesterday but tried harder today - some are a bit over my head, I'm afraid

11:24 pm

LadyNatts

hi GreyWoulf

11:25 pm

jillibus

frog, this is a weird dictionary we all wail about but keep coming back anyway

11:25 pm

GreyWoulf

Frog Momma - some of these words are a bit over everyone's head... the enable dictionary which this site draws upon is not the most logical dictionary around

11:25 pm

Frog Momma

it's definitely stretching my brain

11:26 pm

jillibus

same with all of us -- they say exercise is good for us, lol

11:26 pm

Frog Momma

lol

11:26 pm

LadyNatts

I think I may even be around for the flip today!

11:27 pm

GreyWoulf

woohoo -- down to three -- all h's

11:28 pm

Atalante

do you think we'll have a huge grid tomorrow?

11:28 pm

jillibus

yay natts! And the new icon theme is The Worst Toupee (Cranial Cover) Ever!

11:28 pm

jillibus

gogogo woulfie!!!

11:29 pm

GreyWoulf

Hi Atalante

11:29 pm

Ata, I betcha it's be a monster

11:29 pm

jillibus

11:29 pm

LadyNatts

Yes, I just checked jilli... I don't think I have the energy to search that one out in the next half-hour.

11:29 pm

GreyWoulf

I just went for some brain food -- who else wants snickerdoodles or peanut butter cookies? I think there are some oatmeal raisin left too

11:30 pm

LadyNatts

I'll have some PB ones, please.

11:30 pm

jillibus

natts, just post a pic of Sam Donaldson

11:30 pm

Atalante

toupees? as in Donald?

11:30 pm

GreyWoulf

*passes the cookie jar around*

11:30 pm

LadyNatts

(not sure I've ever heard of snickerdoodles... is that in the enable dictionary?)

11:31 pm

jillibus

Yes, ata, but that's mine -- will post it now and please use the link!

11:31 pm

GreyWoulf

hint for the first ho5/16, please

11:31 pm

jillibus

ho5/16 -- booze

11:31 pm

GreyWoulf

snickerdoodles are a type of spice cookie -- excellent with tea or milk, just as good solo

11:32 pm

kje

Turner and Ho*** (movie)

11:32 pm

GreyWoulf

brain is definitely in slow motion tonite

11:33 pm

renfield

11:35 pm

jillibus

ren -- see my new icon (refresh)

11:35 pm

GreyWoulf

I hate it when I can't monkey a 4 letter word!!

11:36 pm

GreyWoulf

Ah! found it and now I have Firewords!!!

11:36 pm

Atalante

apparently it is, but it looks damn like a bad wig!

jillibus

YAY woulfie!!!

11:38 pm

jillibus

the icon theme includes Cranial Cover

11:40 pm

renfield

i went to temple w/ a guy who was a real estate dude and his toupee looked like a someone's pet sitting on his head. i had to change the time i went so i wouldn't giggle

11:41 pm

renfield

nice guy - bad hair

11:41 pm

LadyNatts

There, I've changed too... seems the cranial covers in the 19th century were better looking

11:42 pm

jillibus

oh natts! delightful story!

11:43 pm

LadyNatts

hehe... thanks!

11:44 pm

jillibus

Has anyone ever seen a shot of The Donald from the back view?

11:44 pm

jillibus

that's funny, ren!

11:46 pm

renfield

not me - love your story natts

11:47 pm

LadyNatts

not I, jilli... I am so "famous oblivious" I wouldn't even know him if he came personally to tell me "you're FIRED!"

11:47 pm

LadyNatts

thanks, renfield

11:48 pm

renfield

the apprentice is my favorite tv show

11:49 pm

LadyNatts

see... that's the thing. I rarely watch TV - only when hubby turns it on or I'm doing laundry (which is, in itself, rare). I don't read newspapers or magazines. I am oblivious to politics and entertainment.

11:50 pm

Atalante

from the back? is it scary?

11:50 pm

renfield

probably is ata

11:50 pm

LadyNatts

the front is scary enough, ata... I imagine the back would be.

11:50 pm

kje

10 minutes... seems a lifetime, may fall asleep

11:51 pm

jillibus

I would imagine so, ata, if it's a comb-over

11:51 pm

Frog Momma

hoil

11:51 pm

kje

he swears it isn't a comb over

11:51 pm

kje

that he just likes that cut

11:51 pm

LadyNatts

cute icon clue, kje!

11:52 pm

Frog Momma

I think he's afraid to go bald. Would probably look better that way, tho, imo

11:52 pm

LadyNatts

bald is so acceptable nowadays

11:52 pm

kje

TY lady

11:52 pm

Frog Momma

shiny is in :)

11:52 pm

jillibus

kje, I tried to find an animated icon clue for that -- got one but it wouldn't work here

11:53 pm

Atalante

there isnt a back pic that i can see on google. it must be very bad

11:53 pm

kje

I've never tried the animated ones

11:53 pm

jillibus

kje, click on my tiny url (lol!)

11:54 pm

jillibus

my guess is a back view would look like a slipped mullet

11:57 pm

kje

ick, jilli, why did you make me look at that

11:57 pm

jillibus

I believe The Donald lived in or near Forest Hills, Queens, NY, where I lived for a while

11:57 pm

jillibus

just to taunt you, kje, lol!

11:58 pm

kje

you are cruel - that could be used as a form of torture

11:58 pm

jillibus

LOL (cackle cackle)

11:59 pm
