stidmama

12:25 am

stidmama

HALFWAY!!!! *much better than I did on yesterday's grid*

12:26 am

jillibus

btw, stid, about the loonie ($1 coin) -- there was originally another design but the die for it fell off a truck or something and it got lost so they used the one with the loon on it and thereby history is written, giving birth to the toonie ($2)

12:26 am

joso

e9

12:27 am

MLFAN17

you mean er joso

12:27 am

Douglas

So the top row e word is the er9?

12:27 am

westford

I have a toonie

12:27 am

joso

yes

12:27 am

stidmama

that is good to know, Jill -- so there wasn't really a commentary on folks who live in Canada implied?

12:27 am

westford

got it crossing the border saving it for when we go back

12:28 am

MLFAN17

yes doug its the only ER word

12:28 am

jillibus

oh maybe, stid -- we have a sense of humour :)

12:28 am

Douglas

It isn't erinoriyo

12:28 am

jillibus

west, how about posting a pic of the tooniw -- it's purty

12:29 am

stidmama

my boys have real salt spring island money... it's a lot prettier than regular canadian currency

12:29 am

MLFAN17

doug i have no idea what it is lol

12:29 am

westford

It is and one thing I actually have with me and not at the other house

12:29 am

MonkeyGames

Could have told you that, douglas. It's not erishopse either.

12:30 am

jillibus

toonie, I mean! If you google it and go to Images, the second one is nice :)

12:30 am

MonkeyGames

Ordinry should be a word.... It's how SOME people pronounce it...

12:31 am

jillibus

Monkey, that's a good Brit pronunciation

12:31 am

MonkeyGames

Sure! SO I should be allowed to spell it that way, right? Right? Aw, heck.

12:32 am

jillibus

nudier should be aword

12:32 am

MonkeyGames

Absolutely.

12:32 am

westford

you may spell it that way monkey it just won't count

12:33 am

joso

if it helps th er9 is a bug

12:33 am

westford

it's too late to call my bug expert

12:34 am

jillibus

have we ever heard of the er bug, joso?

12:34 am

Douglas

It doesn't take much force to accelerate one gram one cm/sec/sec

12:35 am

joso

not in this lifetime, not listed in the dictionary, had to google to find it

12:35 am

stidmama

well, I am really tired and have to be up early tomorrow (my last scheduled early Monday for a while)... so I shall say bonne nuit (or bun newie) and head for la-la land. *poof*

12:35 am

12:40 am

justafreep

congrats dr. b

12:40 am

MonkeyGames

Since I'm on here with all you smart and helpful people... can anyone think of a reason why two toes would keep swelling up painlessly?

12:41 am

jillibus

12:41 am

MLFAN17

the easiest for me jill

12:41 am

jillibus

12:41 am

Douglas

Is there any diabetes involved?

12:41 am

MonkeyGames

Darn, it doesn't like "nyah". Well, nyah!

12:42 am

MLFAN17

lol monkey

12:42 am

MonkeyGames

I do not think I am diabetic... Had an unrelated blood test a few weeks ago that showed normal blood sugars...

12:42 am

Douglas

The reason I ask is that diabetics need to take special care of their tootsies...

12:42 am

bbnaz

glad to see that even whilst being away for a long time DrB is still HUZZAH in a hurry worthy

12:42 am

rururocks

12:43 am

MonkeyGames

Yeah, that and rheumatoid arthritis are about all web searches have been coughing up. I'll be trying to see my doctor today.

12:43 am

Just1Mar

ooo just got that compound word DrB mentionned!

12:43 am

Douglas

I thought about gout too, but doesn't gout hurt?

12:43 am

MonkeyGames

No, wrong side for gout and the joints aren't swollen, just soft tissue.

12:43 am

Just1Mar

gout is very painful

12:43 am

rururocks

most of the time I bet

12:43 am

westford

my cousin's husband just lost his baby toe and 1/5 of his foot to diabetes

12:43 am

MonkeyGames

And yes, gout is agonizing. My friend has it.

12:43 am

MonkeyGames

Ouch!!!

12:44 am

MonkeyGames

Well, I'll suggest to my doctor then we maybe do some fancier testing...

12:44 am

Just1Mar

MonkeyGames

12:48 am

Douglas

3:30 am

Atalante

3:31 am

herinfernallady

YOu can buy dog booties

3:31 am

maybe he had something in there that he tried to get out broken glass or..... he has been talking to Hobbit and she told him the foot saga to get extra hugs from mum

3:32 am

chakramspice

ni5/14: ni + pay your **es minus the e

3:32 am

lynxxx

I don't think so Ata. he walks on lead and we were mainly on footpath plus it was on top of foot where the 'fingers' start....then again maybe it was Hobbit, he is certainly milking it

3:32 am

herinfernallady

I just realised that my least favourite moron is on tv. so i turned it off. THis means some babble then cleaning up

3:32 am

Atalante

scroll to the bottom, in friends of Babbler, look for Lickety's list. ***Lickety is my hero***

4:03 am

LoriP

13 left, and refusing to list, even if it takes my last brain cell. :)

4:03 am

Andree

click on licketys clues which gives you the first 2 letters and point count

4:03 am

chakramspice

this way i can be FAR less annoying on here. thank you guys so much!!

4:04 am

LoriP

Not annoying at all. It's part of the game!

4:04 am

Haz1558

How have you managed to be on here and not know about LIckety? That makes me wonder if anybody has ever recommended www.moreword.com to you?

4:04 am

Andree

i am off to cook myself some dinner, bye all and happy babbling

4:04 am

Haz1558

www.morewords.com that should be...

4:05 am

LoriP

lol Haz. Smooth. Later Andree, take care!

4:05 am

Haz1558

Bye Andree.

4:05 am

chakramspice

haz today is the first i heard of it

4:05 am

chakramspice

maybe this explains my mushy brain, eh?

4:05 am

Haz1558

They've been holding out on you.

4:06 am

Haz1558

It also explains why the other players can finish. And there was you thinking they had great vocabularies.

4:06 am

lynxxx

and then Chak you should email Lickety for BabbleExpert which is very useful for the larger grids...in the meantime do Bulk Add to Lickety - see the instructions at the bottom of his list

4:07 am

chakramspice

oh man, that last j was embarassing

4:07 am

LoriP

***Lickety's can save marriages, it's THAT good*** :D

4:07 am

lynxxx

bye Andree

4:08 am

Haz1558

If Lickety's List could run for election, Hillary and Obama could have saved their energy.

4:08 am

chakramspice

wow, it's awesome! thank you guys so much. but now you understand why i had all these questions, and was wondering how everyone had so much babble ESP

4:09 am

LoriP

Our psychic illusion is shattered now chak, alas we are mere mortals. :D

4:09 am

Haz1558

It's okay! To be honest, sometimes I think it's better if people get a feel for the game before moving onto the aids.

4:10 am

lynxxx

yay - got the other 7. 16 to go, catching up with Lori

4:10 am

chakramspice

yeah i mean, it's the most fun to get what you can on your own

4:10 am

chakramspice

but since i just got 3 words, i'm thinking there's something to these tools... ;)

4:11 am

LoriP

Go Lynx go! It would appear I remain stuck at 13. ***makes room for Lynx at the 13 wall***

4:11 am

Haz1558

Exactly. Sometimes new players are shown the aids before they really get their word-finding skills stretched.

4:11 am

chakramspice

ONE LEFT YALL

4:11 am

LoriP

Go chak go!

4:11 am

Haz1558

I foresee fireworks. Yes, it's that old psychic thing again.

4:12 am

LoriP

***waiting excitedly***

4:13 am

Haz1558

I predict her last word will be un6.

4:14 am

chakramspice

if you guys could only see my eyes rolling back in my head

4:14 am

Haz1558

4:28 am

fairyhedgehog

hi alll

4:28 am

fairyhedgehog

does anyone know if there's any way to get into the archives without my browser falling over? I think I'll learn faster if I can check the answers from the day before.

4:28 am

lynxxx

Hi Fairy - welcome back

4:29 am

LoriP

G'd morning fairy

4:29 am

fairyhedgehog

Hi lynxxx, thank you

4:29 am

Lorrie_in_SA

Hi fairy! :)

4:29 am

fairyhedgehog

hi Lori

4:29 am

fairyhedgehog

Hi Lorrie

4:30 am

lynxxx

I don't Fairy, but you could drive yourself mad trying to remember all the words

4:31 am

fairyhedgehog

hahaha

4:31 am

LoriP

fairy, it'll make you crazy. Save yourself, don't do it! :D

4:32 am

fairyhedgehog

hehe, I'm getting the message! I'm just not very good at this yet. I've only got 25 so far today!

4:34 am

lynxxx

It takes a while Fairy to actually 'see' the words. Understanding the clues that are given is also difficult to pick up too. You are using Lickety's list when you seem to run out of words??

4:34 am

Atalante

try firefox, fairy

4:34 am

Atalante

the logs seem to play nicer on that

4:35 am

fairyhedgehog

sadly, I'm using firefox. I think my pc is not very high spec though, and getting into the archives uses up all my processing power and freezes

4:36 am

fairyhedgehog

I find that clues help a lot. I've noticed that my vocabulary isn't big enough, even though up till now I thought it was quite extensive.

4:36 am

Atalante

hmmm yes. sounds familiar. it does take a good bit of oomph to get the logs working

4:36 am

fairyhedgehog

I don't know what Lickety's list is

4:37 am

bluemonkey

I am using firefox and have no problems

4:37 am

fairyhedgehog

Oddly enough, I could access the archives 3 or 4 days ago and I'm not sure what's changed. Never mind.

4:37 am

lynxxx

See bottom of this page - Friends of Babble...Licketys Babble Clues. Hopefully you have enough space to open another window

4:37 am

LoriP

FF rarely gives me trouble. Right now though, I'm suffering from 4 letter word blindness.........

4:37 am

LoriP

G'd morning Blue

4:38 am

Hi Blue

4:38 am

fairyhedgehog

Thanks lynxxx. I can open several tabs without any problems at all.

4:44 am

Atalante

4:45 am

LoriP

bus returns at 2:45 pm

4:46 am

Atalante

wow. so early! (compared to us). and see your famous bay is in the grid?

4:47 am

LoriP

lol, yah, I noticed that, tried to enter it, then remembered to change last letter to a vowel. :)

4:48 am

Atalante

oooo ty!

4:48 am

LoriP

5:01 am

fairyhedgehog

I did some h----work this morning (sorry for swearing) and my husband may faint from shock when he gets in.

5:02 am

Atalante

mine certainly would

5:02 am

Atalante

though I did spend an hour this morning tidying up the results of his "cooking" last night

5:02 am

fairyhedgehog

oh, nice!

5:02 am

fairyhedgehog

I had to clear up after my son's birthday yesterday, but luckily there wasn't much mess

5:03 am

fairyhedgehog

I keep seeing words that are /nearly/ there - does everyone else have that?

5:04 am

Atalante

yep, they are called phantoms

5:05 am

fairyhedgehog

Well, I'm having lots of ghostly visions this morning.

5:06 am

Atalante

so are you officially addicted yet? you know the next step after seeing phantoms is to give in and subscribe ...

5:07 am

fairyhedgehog

Eek! I think I may have to do that soon.

5:07 am

Atalante

LOL quite probably :)

5:09 am

Atalante

are you an english person?

5:11 am

fairyhedgehog

Me? Yes I live in Epsom.

5:12 am

pinkhatlil

Good Morning Babblers!!

5:12 am

Atalante

ooo! have you met FMitch on here yet?

5:12 am

fairyhedgehog

I'm 54, married, two grown up sons, off work because of CFS or something similar

5:12 am

fairyhedgehog

No, I haven't met FMitch - another English person?

5:13 am

Atalante

pretty close to you, near another famous racecourse

5:13 am

Atalante

5:29 am

Atalante

my dear husband just asked me whether I wanted some random cooking implement for my brithday instead of Battlestar Galactica series 2 (that I had requested). um .....

5:30 am

Atalante

let me consider that for a microsecond

5:30 am

Merk

good morning

5:30 am

NonoNanette

hello Merk!

5:30 am

NonoNanette

LOL Ata don't consider it too much

5:31 am

Atalante

its not even worthy of consideration!

5:31 am

LoriP

Okay, back to my prolonged torture

5:31 am

NonoNanette

welcome back Lori

5:31 am

LoriP

LOL Ata, ask for a cook! :D

5:31 am

Atalante

look at what my dear husband asked lori!

5:32 am

LoriP

A cook would be a kitchen implement, IMO

5:32 am

Atalante

I was so unamused

5:32 am

LoriP

Right up there with the vacuum anniversary, isn't it.........

5:33 am

Atalante

yes, that would work. preferably one who looked like James Callis from BSG

5:33 am

Atalante

he bought me a squash racket as a nice surprise last christmas. (I already had one, of much nicer quality!)

5:34 am

LoriP

A spatula, the gift that says "I Love You"

5:34 am

Atalante

*facepalm facepalm*

5:35 am

LoriP

: D

5:35 am

NonoNanette

5:35 am

LoriP

Congrats Nono!!!

5:36 am

Atalante

yayyyy!

5:36 am

Atalante

haha just got an email back. he's utterly hurt that I still want BSG

5:37 am

LoriP

Run the cook idea past him.....

5:37 am

LoriP

Woot, found my last d's! Forgot about the dy possibility. :(

5:37 am

NonoNanette

I guess i have no excuse for not doing dishes now...... shoot should have made this grid last longer LOL

5:38 am

NonoNanette

wtg Lori your almost there now!

5:38 am

Atalante

we're meant to be Saving Money. which is why I verynicely only asked for series 2 of BSG, not series 2 and 3 ;)

5:38 am

LoriP

Dishes? What do you do with them? I have nooooo idea

5:39 am

NonoNanette

LOL Lori, my son seems to think they are for dirtying and leaving in the sink

5:39 am

LoriP

Ata, I just love esprit's comment, and I quote "I don't let my income get in the way of my lifestyle" lolol

5:40 am

LoriP

My bunch too nono. go figure?

5:40 am

Atalante

periwinkle

hello all

5:44 am

periwinkle

is this grid a nice one or not

5:44 am

Atalante

I bet he still doesn't get me BSG and gets me some shit he thinks I'd like

5:44 am

Atalante

30% nice

5:45 am

periwinkle

I liked yesterday's bui it was too big and wayyy too many re words

5:45 am

LoriP

Found my h's!!!!!

5:45 am

periwinkle

well, I already started

5:45 am

LoriP

It's er, different peri. G'd morning

5:46 am

pinkhatlil

hi peri

5:46 am

LoriP

Ata, perhaps a George Forman grill? :)

5:46 am

Atalante

oh gosh, probably

5:46 am

LoriP

1 stoopid word, which is a stoopid s, but at least it's a 4, which makes me more stoopider than this stoopid grid.

5:47 am

ajv74

Hello! My afternoon session starts from 66 words.

5:47 am

Atalante

his family have a really weird ethos when it comes to giving presents. they buy whatever they *think* the person would like, without asking or considering fully. So the recipient ends up getting random shit each year that they have to keep forever, because giving away / getting rid of gifts is tantamount to murder

5:47 am

LoriP

G'd morning avj. Go go go!

5:48 am

periwinkle

not good Ata

5:48 am

LoriP

Ahhh yes Ata. A dilemma. regifting is not an option......

5:48 am

Atalante

I've spent the last 6 years persuading him he can actually *ask* what I'd like LOL

5:49 am

periwinkle

do you buy him what he wants, Ata?

5:49 am

periwinkle

clue for the 9 please

5:50 am

Atalante

I ask him, and he always says "I can't tell you that!"

5:50 am

periwinkle

What? very strange Ata

5:50 am

periwinkle

are you supposed to read his mind then

5:50 am

Atalante

but luckily, as I'm a woman, I tend to have a good idea of what he wants anyway. which usually involves Playstation games LOL

5:50 am

Atalante

yep! its a very strange thing ...

5:51 am

LoriP

er + 3rd vowel + tr***y wife + slang for Jew

5:51 am

periwinkle

thaks Lori, never would have found that one

5:51 am

Atalante

and then he's always astonished when I end up managing to buy him things he wanted *facepalm*

5:52 am

Atalante

that 9 is SUTPID

5:52 am

Atalante

stupid even!

5:52 am

LoriP

Thus, Women are from Venus, Men are from Mars.........

5:52 am

Atalante

ohhh yes

5:53 am

periwinkle

man are clueless in general when it comes to gifts, IMHO, I once had a boyfriend buy me size 7 slippers when I wear a 9/10. YOu would think that he would have looked in my other shoes/slippers for the size

5:53 am

LoriP

The hub and I solved that problem by not exchanging gifts.

5:53 am

LoriP

Peri, peri, peri. So naivÃ©. Men think of that? :D

5:54 am

Atalante

that would involve more than a snap decision the evening before a birthday :P

5:54 am

periwinkle

and of course they did not have my size when I went to exchange them'

5:54 am

ajv74

Is the re-word a 4/4?

5:54 am

periwinkle

very hot again here, mid-high 90's. have fan on but will have to put the AC on very soon

5:54 am

Haz1558

Ladies. Choose what you want, make sure he is on hand to pay. It cuts out the surprise element, sure, but you get what you want.

5:55 am

LoriP

Of course.

5:55 am

periwinkle

good idea Haz

5:55 am

LoriP

yes avj

5:55 am

ajv74

Ty LoriP

5:55 am

Atalante

husband and I had a *huge* row last year when I threw out some jumpers he had *never* worn that he had as christmas gifts about 10 years ago. honestly, he didn't talk to me for about 4 days!

5:55 am

Atalante

that is exactly what I am trying to steer him towards, haz!

5:55 am

LoriP

Very sensible Haz.

5:56 am

Atalante

and did you see my pic? spot the hobbit!

5:56 am

Haz1558

It works beautifully. I'm very pleased with my choice of gifts and it saves him having to tear his hair out.

5:56 am

pinkhatlil

Hello Haz

5:56 am

LoriP

lol Ata. It's tough to combat the guilt hoarder. hub has t-shirts that don't fit, but are "sentimental". tossing them could mean divorce.....

5:57 am

Haz1558

My favourite was 25th wedding anniversary time. He never ealised that he loved me THAT much.

5:57 am

periwinkle

Lori, there is a word in the grid and you and I are very familiar with du4/6 :-)

5:57 am

LoriP

lolol Haz

5:57 am

Atalante

you would think I'd asked him to have various important parts of his anatomy cut off when I tell him to *ask* what I would like

5:57 am

periwinkle

LOL Haz

5:57 am

Haz1558

Hello pink!

5:57 am

LoriP

peri, I recognized it instantly, in a moment of great ir 5/14 :D

5:57 am

periwinkle

why don't you just tell him, Ata or use Haz's suggestion

5:58 am

Atalante

any mention of such blasphemy results in sulks lasting for days!

5:58 am

periwinkle

I think I am on the list for the Dept of Health re inspection :P

5:59 am

Haz1558

Husband is equally helpful. He provides lists of things he would like, together with where they may be purchased.

5:59 am

LoriP

Poor Ata. Cold wars can be very ugly.

5:59 am

Atalante

what an excellent man!

5:59 am

Haz1558

He is a proud graduate of Husband Training School.

6:00 am

periwinkle

you have done a good job Haz

6:00 am

Haz1558

He is, Ata. I'm holding on to him. There are 30th wedding anniversary presents to be had....

6:00 am

LoriP

peri, I'm beyond that, now, the archaeologists are after me. I keep saying no.

6:00 am

periwinkle

LOL, Lori

6:02 am

Atalante

6:02 am

LoriP

It's 66 here at 7:30. Definitely gonna' be hot, if it's this warm, this time of day on th coast. Housework could cause heatstroke, and I just can't take that chance.

6:02 am

LoriP

Oops, 8 am, not 7:30

8:10 am

EvaNadine

BFs jeep broke down on saturday...right in the middle of all of our plans + we were about 45 minutes away from home.
his brother came out to get us + it was a whole ordeal to get it towed (because of course it waited until after 6:00 on saturday to break down, when everything is closed)
ended up taking over 4 hours of our day away!!

8:11 am

herinfernallady

That sucks Eva that really does

8:12 am

SharonRA

frier

I hate car problems---a major inconvenience in life.

8:14 am

herinfernallady

Don't drive I loath public transport problems

8:14 am

EvaNadine

it was just so strange because the jeep was running fine, we had the top down, were enjoying the day....then, alluva sudden, i coughed, sputtered, and died...

8:14 am

EvaNadine

it *

8:14 am

herinfernallady

Bad car

8:15 am

EvaNadine

wouldnt even start after that

8:16 am

herinfernallady

what was wrong with it?

8:16 am

EvaNadine

we dunno. its at the shop right now.

8:20 am

Scrabbler

Maybe the battery or alternator. Anyway, it will be expensive--always is.

8:20 am

SharonRA

there cannot be 66 words left, that's just impossible.

8:20 am

herinfernallady

i have 10 have been starring at it foor an hour

8:21 am

EvaNadine

we dont think its the battery, since the radio was still working just fine...
hopefully its not something serious!

8:21 am

LoriP

Could be a fuel filter Eva. 412 bucks and you're on 'yer way.

8:22 am

SharonRA

$412!! that can't be right

8:22 am

herinfernallady

My uncle taught me a few car things could probably service his car

8:22 am

EvaNadine

Lori -- thats what someone else thought it might be...

8:22 am

LoriP

That'd be $12 bucks NOT 412......

8:22 am

SharonRA

ok

8:22 am

SharonRA

i was worried, lol

8:22 am

LoriP

The way it sputtered before dying suggests that. May the bill be cheap! ***fingers crossed***

8:22 am

Madi95

ooooh, a shorty today!

8:22 am

EvaNadine

we were driving alone just fine, then alluva sudden when he went to change gears, he said it just wasnt catching the gears. then it stalled out. he was able to get it restarted + it was idling fine for a while, so we thought we would try to get home, but a few miles later, the same thing happened again -- gears wouldnt catch, then it stalled out and died. couldnt get it started again after that.

ty all for the clues and support.. i am new to babble.. 2 weeks... used to do tangleword...

10:29 am

bbnaz

how is Spangle Haz?

10:29 am

Haz1558

Spangle is very well, thank you!

10:30 am

bbnaz

Sharon, just put another sometimes vowel in middle of SA5

10:30 am

superflippy

That's the last one I have left too, Sharon.

10:30 am

Haz1558

You've done well, iluv. It's a bit of an addiction, isn't it?

10:30 am

iluvcofee

yeah.. i was sad when they stopped tangleworld.. now found this.. good..

10:31 am

bbnaz

Sharon, superflippy -- did that help?

10:31 am

Haz1558

There have been quite a few tangleword refugees who have found solace in babble.

10:31 am

bbnaz

Haz, does Jacula come on any more?

10:32 am

nancethefan

thank you. i located it. the description "bio" was throwing me off. lol - it doesn't take much to give me a toss.

10:32 am

Madi95

se5? not the plural chair

10:32 am

Haz1558

She does, bb, but tends to be on a little later at night/early in the morning. She's on holiday this week, I think.

10:32 am

Haz1558

Glad you got it sorted, nance.

10:33 am

nancethefan

lol - thank you haz

10:33 am

bbnaz

Madi - add the second vowel to the end of SE4

10:33 am

rururocks

sa 5/16?

10:33 am

Haz1558

The other se5/10 is the latin plural of se4/4 - same letters as the chair but rearranged slightly.

10:34 am

Madi95

speaking of holiday, i'm going to DisneyWorld this Saturday. Sure it going to be fun, but the time away from babble will be eating out my insides...

10:34 am

Madi95

ty bbnaz

10:34 am

iluvcofee

sa5/16 - *** something + ego

10:34 am

nancethefan

lol @ "eating out my insides"

10:34 am

CadFan

No contest for me - Disney World or Babble... Disney World all the way - I am SUCH a kid!

10:35 am

Haz1558

I know how you feel, Madi, but sometimes you've got to suffer babble withdrawal for the sake of family harmony. You really WOULDN'T want to stay home alone with a computer, now would you?

10:35 am

phaeton

Madi...take the puter with you!

10:35 am

Madi95

and 4 days after we get back, i'm boarding a plane all by myself to go to Jr.NYLC in Washington DC.

nancethefan

10:36 am

Madi95

and no, i wouldn't like to stay my myself.

10:36 am

iluvcofee

sa6 - double the middle letter

10:36 am

Haz1558

Travel will broaden your horizons. Babble broadens your vocabulary and your backside.

10:36 am

bbnaz

Ruru -- when you get the SA5.16 then to get the 6.33 just double the sometimes vowel in the middle of 5.16

10:36 am

Madi95

true.

10:36 am

bbnaz

that is the truth Haz!

10:52 am

10:53 am

rururocks

10:53 am

Aryn

<<<<<BAM>>>>>>

10:53 am

bbnaz

we have been friends since the 70s

10:53 am

rururocks

She is a wonderful person

10:53 am

bbnaz

she doesn't do aussies any more though, she does beagles I thought (ever since Danny died at least)

10:53 am

rururocks

And a terrific dog handler ..her dogs are gorgeous

10:54 am

bbnaz

and these puppies go back to her breeding on my side

10:54 am

rururocks

oh I didn't know.. last time I saw her she had an incredible auusie

10:54 am

bbnaz

what a small world.

10:54 am

phaeton

Thanks Aryn and kisses to the babes!!

10:55 am

CadFan

ouch... I paid $3.75 this morning for 85 octane

10:55 am

Atalante

so who's going to get the email in first saying "I dind't know you knew ..."

10:55 am

bbnaz

just WHO are you ruru? Did you ever know the Lyles?

10:55 am

rururocks

we actually took lessons from the same trainer..although she was far more advanced than I

10:55 am

bbnaz

they live in napa

10:56 am

rururocks

don't know the lyles sorry

10:56 am

rururocks

Napa is a pretty big town nowadays

10:56 am

bbnaz

I handled a dog for her once who had his CDX and I told him to "take" the bait........not knowing of course that he was supposed to just hold it.

10:57 am

rururocks

she is a class act..like her a lot.

10:57 am

bbnaz

So my dogs have a lot of Gold Nugget and Tri Ivory breeding behind them. Don't know about the bitch and don't really care as I just want a female with my bloodlines to breed back to the male I have here.

10:57 am

nancethefan

brb

10:57 am

bbnaz

I lost my female unexpectedly and don't want to lose a lineage that I have been working on since 1975

10:58 am

bbnaz

Judy is the BEST. Too bad more breeders are not like her.

10:59 am

bbnaz

I used to live in the city and come to Sebastapol every weekend to work sheep. Danny, Judy and I would travel to dog shows together throughout NorCal. I LOVED showing up there. Here in Arizona it is not so much fun so I am back to showing horses.

11:00 am

Atalante

*random US doggy question* is flyball a big thing over there?

11:00 am

bbnaz

Yes. I used to think it was invented here back in the 70s but I am not going to swear by it.

11:01 am

sadie52

yea done :)

11:01 am

bbnaz

However, it is so fast these days, it boggles the mind

11:01 am

bbnaz

HUZZAH sadie!

11:02 am

Madi95

is sa6 plural of sa5 before it?

11:04 am

Atalante

not any more, my dog is too old and creaky. Well, creaky anyway. Next dog I would love to really get involved

11:04 am

Atalante

well, she's not even creaky, but she's got the start of hip problems and I don't want to work her over hurdles any more

11:05 am

Atalante

cockers are actually surprisingly good at it. if they have the lower set of hurdles!

11:05 am

bbnaz

that doesn't surprise me. don't they have height limits like they do in agility?

11:06 am

nancethefan

back - baby girl had to go do her potty, also

11:06 am

Atalante

yep, but in competitions they only use one height standard. but at crufts this year there was a little cocker who bounced over all the hurdles quite happily and kept up with the bigger dogs

11:07 am

11:23 am

Atalante

11:24 am

Madi95

i would be grief stricken if one of my precious pups died. (see icon

11:24 am

Angela

There is a lawsuit pending that I could have joined in on, but just didn't have it in me. Too sad and to hear someone say that your pet has "no monetary value" is just too much, ya know?

11:24 am

Atalante

oh yes. too much after everything that already happened

11:25 am

Angela

exactly. so we think about all the goofy stuff he used to do and say goodnight to him every night and that has to suffice.

11:26 am

Angela

aaawww!! very cute Madi! Beagles?

Atalante

still, I hope people that signed up get some acknowledgment from the pet food companies. horrid people

11:27 am

Angela

hi mystery

11:28 am

Angela

Frances

Not me EvaN........hi.

11:49 am

EvaNadine

a coworker was having some for lunch today, and it just smelled to DIE for!

11:50 am

caitlyn

Did you ask her for the recipe?

11:50 am

FMitch

I always make it up as I go along starting with a carton of good tomato juice and some balsamic vinigar to taste. Rub the inside of the serving bowl with a cut garlic

11:51 am

FMitch

and then have fun prepping, the add in bits such as cubed cucumber, onion, bread cubes bell pepper or whatever takes your fancy.

11:51 am

Angela

brb - work calls

11:51 am

FMitch

just make sure the soup is very well chilled before serving

11:52 am

caitlyn

Sounds good FM Ive never had it (hanging head in shame )

11:53 am

Atalante

nor me, cait

11:53 am

FMitch

It's very refreshing on a hot day and be a light starter or a big rustic main course depending on whatyou want to lob into it.

11:53 am

caitlyn

Oh Im so pleased to hear its not just me Ata

11:54 am

Atalante

11:55 am

caitlyn

LOL I have the same programme on FM

11:56 am

Atalante

11:56 am

12:55 pm

MLFAN17

12:56 pm

Haz1558

It would depend on which Parisienne cats we're talking about. The fancier ones would accompany le4/4 with a sniff and a sneer.

12:56 pm

FMitch

The Aristocats?

12:56 pm

MLFAN17

12:56 pm

Vicuna

Of course they would, and hold up their little manicured paws in a gesture of repudiation, too.

1:07 pm

FMitch

and Im in my 2 month football free period before the season starts again. I can even sleep in on a Sunday now if I wanted.
Ata being Italian does not automatically guarantee good legs.

1:07 pm

Oh HAz itsn't it the most stunning series. Last night was amazing too

Thats the ticket! Stiff upper lip and all that.

1:11 pm

You've gotta watch that, FM!

1:12 pm

Haz1558

Back again. Phone keeps ringing (we're on duty).

1:12 pm

Vicuna

lol, Ata.

1:13 pm

Vicuna

fr5/16 - a kind of chicken, or the one who cooks it, or the thing it's cooked in...

1:13 pm

FMitch

fr5 another type of Monk or a way of cooking food in fat or oil perhaps.

1:13 pm

Vicuna

... or the Catholic priest it sounds like...

1:13 pm

lexleeanne

thanks

1:14 pm

Haz1558

Or the specialist monk who can only cook one way?

1:14 pm

lexleeanne

how about fu4/9??

1:14 pm

MLFAN17

Nu 5 please

1:14 pm

Atalante

1:15 pm

Vicuna

nu5 - the kind of pics in Playboy

1:15 pm

MLFAN17

lol ty ata

1:15 pm

Haz1558

nu5 - what Prince Charles might have seen if the Polish horse thieves hadn't maurauded through at the wrong or right time.

1:15 pm

Atalante

and how would you nkow that, Vi???

1:15 pm

Chelsey was watching P.Harry playing polo at the w/e.

1:16 pm

FMitch

Vi was a bunny girl, thats how she knows.

1:17 pm

Atalante

ahhhh *that* makes more sense

1:17 pm

Haz1558

THAT's why she keeps giving du4/ bunny clues.

1:17 pm

Atalante

she has been quite obsessed with bunnies today

1:17 pm

Vicuna

Well, lexlee, that's an excellent question. *steeples fingertips* We have had this conversation in Babble before, and I first posited that the rest of you existed only inasmuch as I could see you here int he log...

1:17 pm

Atalante

ah but *you* only exist in my mind to think that you can see other people

1:18 pm

Vicuna

... But someone took that to be impossibly egotistical and offensive, so I acknowledged that perhaps it was he who existed and the rest of us did not...

1:18 pm

Vicuna

... but he did not want responsibility for any such disordered imagination that could devize us...

1:19 pm

Vicuna

... So I reckon we should just fall back on the old standby position...

1:19 pm

Atalante

I cant believe someone would consider you offensive and egotistical

1:19 pm

FMitch

*steeples fingertips* and rubs beard ponderingly.

1:19 pm

Atalante

thats my job

1:19 pm

Vicuna

... and blame FMitch.

1:19 pm

lexleeanne

okay.......... hedge???? fu????

1:19 pm

FMitch

of course!

1:20 pm

lexleeanne

hey good strategy if you misspell most of your words you can stay out of the PB>>>

1:20 pm

Vicuna

It was slightly odd, Ata, actually. I was being so ridiculously egotistical that I figured no one could possibly take me seriously, but apparently someone did. Unless of course, he wasn't being serious either, and I misinterpreted him! Very difficult on chat sometimes!

1:20 pm

FMitch

Yup hedge fu4 - think financial securities

1:20 pm

Atalante

was it zenmed?

1:21 pm

No, KnightTime.

1:21 pm

FMitch

dc!!! Hello :)

1:21 pm

Vicuna

But it is very hard to tell sarcasm without tone of voice, etc. I've seen myself and others get into trouble with that several times.

1:21 pm

Anniebrook

lexlee,.....Mutual fu** (where you put your money so it can grow, hopefully)

1:22 pm

Atalante

yes, very true

1:22 pm

Vicuna

Hello, dc!

1:22 pm

dcseain

been quite a while since i've been around this time of day. how is everyone?

1:22 pm

lexleeanne

there should be a sarcasm font

1:22 pm

Anniebrook

fine and you?, dc

1:22 pm

dcseain

well, ty, annie

1:22 pm

Vicuna

That's a brilliant idea, lexlee!

1:22 pm

lexleeanne

I get to go home now - - teacher work day finished - one more to go...

1:22 pm

Anniebrook

okay, I need two more....clue for su 5/14? please

1:22 pm

Atalante

and then people would be suspicious that you were using the sarcasm font sarcastically

sa6 is sa5 with 2 sometimes vowels in the middle

1:47 pm

Atalante

LOL yes :P to be honest, I use flickr as a repository for my photos. If anything ever happened to my laptop and my photo albums, I would have flickr!

1:47 pm

FMitch

It's a good idea.

1:47 pm

Haz1558

I wonder if Japanese people use flickr? I've never seen such keen photographers.

1:47 pm

Atalante

I like it. I panic at the thought of losing my photos, and its just one more backup

1:48 pm

MLFAN17

1:48 pm

They used to move about in groups with huge lenses on their huge cameras (as tourists). Now the cameras are smaller but they still take photos of everything.

1:48 pm

hello all -- have 15 minutes to get my last 9!

1:48 pm

MLFAN17

sorry dan just had to get my monkey working for that one lol

1:49 pm

danf63

hi nan

1:49 pm

FMitch

Very true Haz, you could always guarantee that even in the depths of winder there would be some Japanese clicking away round Windsor Castle or similar.

1:49 pm

Kazozz

hi all

1:50 pm

FMitch

cnan, Haz clued it at 1.37

1:50 pm

Hi Kaz and annotherone

1:51 pm

annotherone

in Scotland I saw a group of them set a tripod up on the hard shoulder of the motorway to get a photo of them in front of the Welcome to England sign

1:51 pm

Atalante

oh my. thats fab

1:51 pm

annotherone

hi FMitch

1:52 pm

Haz1558

That sounds like the thing. I once saw a group taking multiple photos of a giant ice-cream cone model in Italy.

1:52 pm

Atalante

have we had any photoshoots of baileys wreaths?

1:52 pm

FMitch

Oh I so wanted an ice cream today

1:52 pm

Haz1558

I don't know if they were interested in the ice-cream, in the concept of someone having made a model or WHAT.

1:52 pm

annotherone

they always have such lovely cameras too

1:52 pm

annotherone

it's ice cream weather certainly

1:53 pm

Atalante

its a Thing. It must be Photographed

1:53 pm

cybernan

excellent clue, dan -- ty

1:53 pm

Haz1558

No. That is a regret of my life, that I didn't take a photo of that wreath. A Japanese cameraman would have had it snapped up for posterity.

1:54 pm

danf63

yvw nan...would you like another before I head back to work?

1:54 pm

Atalante

bet the florist has photos!

1:54 pm

1:54 pm

MLFAN17

is the 2ND SE 5/10 an extension of the 4 above it?

She probably does. I'm pretty sure I know who was behind the abomination.

cyber oops

1:56 pm

FMitch

Sheesh it's 'only' going to be 25 tomorrow

1:56 pm

Haz1558

So, would it be a case of pretending to be interested in ordering a speciality wreath? 'I say, my good woman, what examples do you have of your previous work?'

1:56 pm

Atalante

yep! LOL secret agent Haz

1:57 pm

FMitch

Exactly

1:57 pm

Haz1558

Think of my street cred. Word would get about that I was interested in TACK.

1:57 pm

Atalante

"I hear you did a very excellent wreath for some friends of my husband's sister's boyfriend"

1:58 pm

Atalante

you work for RDA. you should be interested in tack! :P

1:58 pm

Haz1558

It would have to be further away than that!

1:58 pm

Boobear

hi all. clue for the last no 4 please

1:58 pm

Atalante

oh wait though. didn't we establish already that you didn't have any?

1:58 pm

I could invent a dead publican, perhaps?

1:58 pm

cybernan

ta 6?

1:58 pm

It's true that you thought my street cred might be a bit on the lacking side.

1:59 pm

Boobear

ty

1:59 pm

Atalante

I'm sure your imaginationis up to the challenge. If necessary, take Spangle with you to divert her attention. Spaniels let you get away with anything

1:59 pm

MLFAN17

booobear switch last two letters of previous 4

1:59 pm

Atalante

actually, I think that was FM. If not, I'm blaming her anyway

1:59 pm

MLFAN17

Kaz how are you today??

2:00 pm

Haz1558

Maybe if I googled Images for Baileys wreaths?

2:00 pm

Atalante

uhmmm not great but better than yesterday! thx for asking MLF!!

2:01 pm

MLFAN17

Kaz are you with us today???

2:01 pm

cybernan

ta 6, please?

2:01 pm

broll

Just signed on and read back in the log. We always laugh about the time we saw the Japanese tourists posing for pictures in front of trees at some chateau in France. I could have been any trees, anywhere in the world - no way to tell! ("And here we are in France. Or was it Australia? Or maybe our back yard?")

2:01 pm

FMitch

What am I being blamed for now?

2:01 pm

Haz1558

No joy. All the wreaths featured are far too tasteful.

2:01 pm

Atalante

Kazozz

2:02 pm

Atalante

SESAME PASTE

2:03 pm

MLFAN17

Kaz were those the only choices for meds for your migraines? Do you know the cause of them?

2:03 pm

Haz1558

ta6 - been in before, has the last letters of the two piece bathing costume.

2:03 pm

MLFAN17

Cyber i wish i knew i need that as well

2:03 pm

MLFAN17

HI Une

2:05 pm

Atalante

2:06 pm

Kazozz

oh yeah tons mlf lol..emergency hospital visits included pffft

2:07 pm

MLFAN17

kaz yea i just got those sh words at least two of them

2:07 pm

Haz1558

Spluuuge - it varies every day because the grid is changed every day. Some days more words that others.

2:07 pm

Atalante

finished, spluurge

2:07 pm

Kazozz

hard to answer that spluuuge..puzzles different every day

2:07 pm

Haz1558

Which reminds me -www.morewords.com is a great site....

2:07 pm

FMitch

A decent score is whatever you are happy with. The size varies every day so it's impossible to say but lots of people do finish

2:07 pm

MLFAN17

i just got the SH 7 but i think that had a double cons in the middle??

2:07 pm

Kazozz

there's 4 all related

2:07 pm

Uneaixoise

2:07 pm

Uneaixoise

2:07 pm

Atalante

2:08 pm

Atalante

what does morewords do? and do so well?

2:08 pm

Uneaixoise

sh7/32 doesn't have a double consonant

2:08 pm

MLFAN17

Une i tried to use it today

2:08 pm

Haz1558

Nor I, Uneaixoise. I'm trying to hypnotise everybody else.

2:08 pm

FMitch

Haz what about a2z?

2:08 pm

Uneaixoise

2:08 pm

Uneaixoise

LOL

2:08 pm

Spluuuge

Oh, it will tell you when there are no more?

2:08 pm

Uneaixoise

a2z is good too

2:09 pm

Haz1558

Some people like that other one, but as worldwide spokesperson for morewords, I have to recommend it.

2:09 pm

FMitch

Yes Spluurge, there are 110 to find today

2:09 pm

Uneaixoise

i prefer it too, haz

2:09 pm

MLFAN17

2:10 pm

Atalante

she's *gorgeous*

2:10 pm

Uneaixoise

actually she's a pretty big jigsaw visually but she's very very sweet!

2:11 pm

Uneaixoise

when they rescued her 2 years ago, she'd had 10 puppies and it was very hot and she was in a semi-cave out near the fairgrounds

2:11 pm

Atalante

oh poor darling!

2:11 pm

MLFAN17

Haz i used morewords today to get the ER 9

2:11 pm

Atalante

she looks a mix between aussie shepherd and corgi in that pic LOL

2:12 pm

Uneaixoise

i know . . . and she's a big galumph but very endearing and my other girls get along well with her

2:12 pm

Haz1558

You can use it to find any of the words, if you're using the list and know what you're missing.

2:13 pm

Uneaixoise

she kinda has a rottweiler head, black and white body, and giraffe colored legs, with a long tail LOL

2:13 pm

Atalante

awwwwww :D

2:13 pm

MLFAN17

Haz yeah its worked for the most part some i still needed more help with by getting clues as the list didnt have the right word i needed from that page

2:13 pm

FMitch

Big words, little words all words for morewords

2:13 pm

Atalante

2:14 pm

FMitch

There was indeed and you are lucky that Vi isn't here

2:14 pm

dcseain

i'm back :)

2:15 pm

Haz1558

You'll not build up much of a sweat doing exercises to 'It's only words'. Unless it's a disco remix.

2:15 pm

dcseain

just checked, it's 100F outside here. wee! Praise Elvis for air conditioning!

2:15 pm

Uneaixoise

i agree, dc!!

Does that count as a PB for Une? Singular?

2:16 pm

MLFAN17

i will be back

2:16 pm

Kazozz

type of moisturising butter?

2:16 pm

FMitch

Yes it does count, sorry Une

2:16 pm

evanonut

i would think regular butter is moisturizing

2:17 pm

Haz1558

But what a waste of butter.

2:17 pm

Atalante

it was the "cooling down" track

2:17 pm

dcseain

ty, kazozz!

2:17 pm

dcseain

olive oil and almond oil each do wonders for skin, and the former for hair

2:17 pm

Haz1558

That explains it, Ata.

2:17 pm

FMitch

Time for me to meander off, tired and have an early start tomorrow.
Hi nutty

2:17 pm

2:18 pm

Haz1558

Does the sugar and butter not get very sticky?

2:18 pm

Haz1558

Good night, FMitch. See you tomorrow!

2:18 pm

FMitch

Byeeee

2:18 pm

evanonut

i suppose not if the environment is cool enough has....i think its just a moisturizing/exfoliant body scrub - on and off

2:18 pm

Atalante

byee dear!

2:19 pm

Haz1558

Now we can do some heavy duty blaming.

2:19 pm

evanonut

i've never actually had it, but i may when my cousin and i do our spa get awa

2:19 pm

evanonut

y

2:19 pm

Haz1558

ANd I suppose it's the one doing the applying who gets sticky. You just lie there and get all scrubbed and pampered.

2:20 pm

dcseain

here, body wraps in palm leaves with pineapple/papaya has become fashionable

2:20 pm

Haz1558

I have a voucher for a pedicure but I need to get my feet looking a bit better before I go....

2:20 pm

evanonut

i recon, if i do it i'll be sure to submit a full written report

2:20 pm

evanonut

no one who values their health touches my feet

2:21 pm

Haz1558

You wouldn't lash out?

2:22 pm

evanonut

no intentionally

2:22 pm

Haz1558

Well, that's good. You'd hate to be going about your vocation of tending people's feet and have them turn nasty.

2:24 pm

dcseain

haz, finally got your er clue, really quite brilliant that clue.

2:24 pm

evanonut

yeah, even more i'd hate to deal with assault charges while i'm relaxing

2:24 pm

Haz1558

Oh good, dc. Glad you could decipher it.

2:24 pm

dcseain

took me a while on the language thing, i had the wrong one in mind for the longest time :)

2:25 pm

Haz1558

Ah well, you got there eventually. No point rushing these things.

2:26 pm

dcseain

indeed, i like a leisurely game in general :)

2:27 pm

Haz1558

I enjoy the first while when words are flowing easily, but the next part, teasing out the missing ones, is fun as well.

dcseain

exactl, haz :)

2:28 pm

Atalante

ditto

2:30 pm

Haz1558

I should set up my own political party. There's two votes I'd have for a start.

2:31 pm

Atalante

hobbit would vote for you too

2:31 pm

Haz1558

Spangle is nodding agreement as well.

2:31 pm

dcseain

i miss all the little parties in DC. Here in Virginia, not nearly as interesting, though the stakes are higher.

2:33 pm

Haz1558

We'll be sure not to call the party by too long a name. It takes too long to paint the banners.

2:33 pm

Atalante

Vote Haz. Easy

2:34 pm

Haz1558

I could be sponsored by morewords and Paypal, perhaps?

2:34 pm

MonkeyGames

Hi folks for a few minutes. So wh's watching the football? WOO-Hoo! WOO-HOO! Unless you're Italian, in which case may I offer my thus-far condolances.

2:34 pm

Haz1558

My detecting skills lead me to conclude that HOlland has won a match.

2:35 pm

dcseain

yes, haz, i think you could swing sponsoring from them.

2:35 pm

dcseain

so, not going well for Italy at all then, eh MonkeyG?

2:35 pm

MonkeyGames

Not yet but it's 2 - 0 at halftime.

2:35 pm

Haz1558

I know dc, when you think of the business I've swung their way.

2:35 pm

MonkeyGames

To my surprise, that's right!

2:36 pm

MonkeyGames

The neighbors have erected an enormous wide-screen TV and a wall of beer on the deck, and EVERYTHING is orange.

2:37 pm

dcseain

that must be a sight, Monkey, you should grab a photo for us :)

2:37 pm

BettyAnne

su5/14 please

2:37 pm

MonkeyGames

Oooh... might be rude, though. I'd have to just pop up over the fence...

2:37 pm

Haz1558

Is Jordan there? You'd never know, she'd be indetectable among all that.

2:38 pm

MonkeyGames

But really, people have even painted their bikes orange.

2:38 pm

MonkeyGames

Good thing it's Walter's favorite color.

2:38 pm

dcseain

i don't have it yet, BettyAnne

2:38 pm

Haz1558

2:38 pm

dcseain

2:39 pm

Haz1558

You're welcome.

2:39 pm

BettyAnne

Thanks Haz

2:39 pm

2:40 pm

MonkeyGames

Off I go. Never had a hope of finishing this grid anyway. Have fun!

2:41 pm

Haz1558

2:41 pm

dcseain

2:42 pm

Madi95

*pokes head in* hi everyone, how's the grid?

2:42 pm

dcseain

wow, the cat cleaned out my bowl from lunch almost as if from dishwasher

2:44 pm

Haz1558

The grid is fine, Madi.

2:44 pm

Madi95

our doggies wrestle us for our dirty bowls. They'll eat anything but peas and green beans. Fugures they wouldn't eat their veggies.

2:46 pm

Atalante

hobbit loves vegetables

2:47 pm

Madi95

they're about to enter their summer weight loss program. When we go on holiday, they won't eat hardly anything in the kennel. :(

2:48 pm

Madi95

i wonder if they go on strike...

2:48 pm

Atalante

2:49 pm

2:51 pm

Haz1558

Spangle will have to go to kennels for the first time ever this year. It's only for four nights, so hopefully she'll not fade away.

2:51 pm

Atalante

awwwwwww. daughters not being conveniently available?

2:52 pm

Haz1558

She's only gone and arranged a weekend away right at the start of our holiday. She'll be around for the majority of the time.

2:52 pm

Madi95

yup. I go to Florida this Saturday, will be gone for 8 days. Then i come back for 4 then leave for another 6.

2:52 pm

Atalante

how inconvenient of her!

2:52 pm

Madi95

2:52 pm

Haz1558

The other one is in New Zealand so, not terribly convenient either!

2:53 pm

evanonut

oye or oy vey?

2:53 pm

Haz1558

You'd nearly think they do these things just to be awkward.

2:53 pm

Madi95

brb

2:54 pm

Atalante

well yes. poor spangle. I'd look after her if I were on the same island as you

2:54 pm

Haz1558

I know you would, Atalante. However, she's going to 'Home from Home boarding kennels' as recommended by our receptionist.

2:54 pm

lizmac

Evening people. Cute video today.

2:55 pm

Atalante

awwww. she'll have a lovely time

2:55 pm

Haz1558

She'll be fine. If I keep repeating it often enough, I might believe it.

2:55 pm

Haz1558

Hello liz!

2:55 pm

Atalante

LOL. really she will. I'm always awful about Hobbit going to kennels. But she *loves* it there

2:56 pm

Madi95

yaaaaaaayyyyy!!! Mitchell's mom showed up and said boss let her off early because of extreme heat!!! I'm off the hook today!

2:56 pm

lizmac

Hi Haz....MORE holidays planned? Where are you off to?

2:56 pm

Haz1558

Just a wee jaunt to Tanzania and Zanzibar.

2:58 pm

Haz1558

Sister in law was planning to go and we did the charitable thing and offered to accompany her. We're good-hearted that way.

2:58 pm

Atalante

I'd love to go to Zanzibar

2:58 pm

lizmac

A bit warmer than Aushwitz et al, then. Lucky you, when do you go?

2:58 pm

EvaNadine

*sneaks into chatlog while dialed into her course*
*whispers* evenin babblers!

2:58 pm

lizmac

Drat, spelt Auschwitz wrongly!

2:59 pm

Madi95

2:59 pm

Atalante

*whispers* hi!

2:59 pm

Haz1558

It's the first two weeks in August - Zanzibar is for the last four days of the holiday. It won't be TOO warm because it's the African winter, but still warmer than our summer.

2:59 pm

evanonut

*hollars* HI

EvaNadine

2:59 pm

Haz1558

Haz1558

I never had EvaN down as violent.

3:01 pm

lizmac

3:01 pm

Madi95

PB!! both of you!

3:01 pm

EvaNadine

only in self-defense!

3:01 pm

Haz1558

It's physically impossible to watch slides for more than 10 minutes without wanting to nod off.

3:01 pm

evanonut

well, nuthin will keep you awake better than us evan

3:01 pm

Haz1558

Bye liz!

tonight is class 4 of 6

3:02 pm

Atalante

3:02 pm

EvaNadine

this slide is about "Correlative Active Clause Coverage"
*yawn*

3:03 pm

Haz1558

Apart from the water one, you mean?

3:03 pm

Madi95

*begins to drown in yellow pool* "blub...blub"

3:03 pm

Haz1558

There's just the one that means water, Ata.

3:03 pm

Atalante

yep

3:03 pm

Atalante

does it mean water? really?

3:03 pm

Haz1558

Gosh, I've always wanted to know about Correlative Active Clause Coverage.

3:03 pm

evanonut

i think i found my next pet

3:03 pm

Haz1558

You'll take notes for me, EvaN?

3:03 pm

evanonut

http://www.thinkgeek.com/gadgets/cellp
hone/84b2/

3:04 pm

Haz1558

Relating to water, I think.

3:04 pm

Atalante

sounds more likely to me

3:05 pm

EvaNadine

oh, i will haz. ill even send you the slides once they are posted to our wiki...its SOOOOO riveting...

3:05 pm

Madi95

hy 5/18 is an element

3:05 pm

evanonut

i love when i can understand written sarcasm

3:05 pm

Madi95

short for an element

3:05 pm

Haz1558

You're so good to me, EvaN. I nearly feel bad now for all the times I kidded you about your nu5 photos.

3:06 pm

EvaNadine

hah, which reminds me, i have my next shoot on saturday!

3:06 pm

Haz1558

But evanonut, we're going to have a special sarcasm font.

3:06 pm

Madi95

*covers eyes*

3:06 pm

evanonut

omg, she is violent, she's shooting!

3:07 pm

Atalante

which only sarasm is to be written in

3:07 pm

EvaNadine

im being shot AT!

3:07 pm

evanonut

would have to be a very bold font

3:07 pm

Haz1558

Is your costume tasteful?

3:07 pm

lexleeanne

hey that sarcastic font was my idea...

3:08 pm

Madi95

*walks to shed and shuts door*

3:08 pm

lexleeanne

who is taking that idea and passing it off as theirs???

3:08 pm

Atalante

i know. we're being sarcastic

3:08 pm

Haz1558

And you, lexie, will receive due reward at the next Nobel prizegiving.

3:08 pm

EvaNadine

i dunno yet -- its beach themed, and ill be borrowing stuff from her...

3:09 pm

Haz1558

I just said 'we're going to have'. Idea was unattributed. Please don't shoot me.

3:09 pm

EvaNadine

however, she DID tell me that i made it onto her list of models shes gonna call on for tasteful nudes! :-X !!

3:09 pm

lexleeanne

okay... we can call it the lexastic font

3:09 pm

evanonut

ack!!!

3:09 pm

Haz1558

Don't forget to let us see pics.

3:09 pm

EvaNadine

if/when it ever happens, maybe...hehe

3:10 pm

Haz1558

lexastic font sounds too much like support stockings.

3:10 pm

Madi95

*kneels in back of shed*

3:10 pm

Haz1558

There has to be a better title.

3:10 pm

evanonut

as in nekkid? *gasp*

3:10 pm

EvaNadine

she hasnt done many, so she offered free shoots for people who fit the body type she was looking for....
im a little heavier, but she said im on her list :)

3:10 pm

Atalante

sarcolex

3:10 pm

lexleeanne

lexastic DOES sound like support hose!! lol

3:10 pm

Haz1558

See - evanonut is shocked and she doesn't shock easily;.

3:10 pm

lexleeanne

sarcolex sounds like a laxative

3:10 pm

EvaNadine

technically nekkid, but strategicly positioned/covered

3:11 pm

Atalante

really?

3:11 pm

evanonut

no no no no...my only opinion is that you can't take that back...no do overs...

3:11 pm

Madi95

this is awkward

3:12 pm

EvaNadine

none of the bits + pieces get shown....ive seen the ones she has done, and theyre extremely tasteful

3:12 pm

lexleeanne

how about lexadonic - like sardonic

3:12 pm

Atalante

sounds fab!

3:12 pm

Boobear

clue for ha 5/22 please

3:13 pm

EvaNadine

its more hinting at nudity...

3:13 pm

Haz1558

Lexadonic - I can go with that.

3:13 pm

evanonut

not saying i don't personally approve evan, but as a person who works on background investigations i'm saying that it doesn't go away, and others may have other opinions

3:13 pm

Madi95

sounds like Supersonic though

3:13 pm

lexleeanne

ha 5/12 dislikes greatly

3:14 pm

Haz1558

Back later!

3:14 pm

Red Velvet

3:14 pm

lexleeanne

sorry don't have ha 5/22

3:14 pm

lexleeanne

3:14 pm

lexleeanne

110 words

3:14 pm

Atalante

are there any NY words?

3:15 pm

EvaNadine

im pretty sure i will never have the type of job that these pictures would jeopardize....heh....besides, these are classy, not pornographic....
and if i felt uncomfortable, i can always (1) not take them or (2) ask her not to show them to anyone)
shes very cool that way

3:15 pm

lexleeanne

as in words from NY or discribling NY...lol

3:15 pm

Atalante

or starting NY

3:15 pm

Red Velvet

ty

3:15 pm

EvaNadine

for me, at this point, its more a matter of feeling comfortable in my own skin...ive been unhappy with my body + i trust her to do something beautiful with it, so itll be good for me. :)

3:15 pm

Madi95

*peeks head out of door* Is everything ok now?

3:16 pm

EvaNadine

Atalante

go go go eva!

3:16 pm

Atalante

3:16 pm

evanonut

3:17 pm

dc, did you live in DC area back in 198? something, when the jet crashed into the 14th St Bridge, and the metro rail crashed underground, all at the same time, during a horrible blizzard ???

4:09 pm

JBV

boy, what timing - just checking in and I see your question, lil*monkey - I was there - January 1981

4:09 pm

dcseain

yes, monkey. we were on our way to DCA to go to great-grandma's funeral when the plane crashed

4:09 pm

EvaNadine

FREEDOM!!

4:09 pm

dcseain

we diverted to the Roy Rogers in Rosslyn, as we knew no flights were going out that night after that.

4:09 pm

lil*monkey

oh me too! I was actally on the metro car in front of the one that crashed...

4:09 pm

dcseain

yay EvaN!

4:10 pm

lil*monkey

trapped underground near the Rossyln station for 3 1/2 hours

4:10 pm

jillibus

hello all

4:10 pm

dcseain

that must've been scary, monkey. a friend of mine was on the metro bus that got hit.

4:10 pm

JBV

I was home waiting for my husband who used to take a bus across the 14th street bridge and watching the news on tv

4:10 pm

dcseain

how scary that must have been, jbv!

4:11 pm

lil*monkey

oh there was a bus crash too? ... when I came up from the metro (finally), I knew nothing about the plane crash

4:11 pm

EvaNadine

im gonna escape the computer now that ive been sitting here for over 2 hours -- goodnight all!

4:11 pm

dcseain

hi, jilli! :D

4:11 pm

dcseain

g'night EvaN!

4:11 pm

lil*monkey

that was such a horrible scary day!

4:11 pm

dcseain

yes, a Northbound 14A was hit by the landing gear, monkey

4:11 pm

JBV

He fortunately was not in anything that was hit, but had to sit in traffic stopped on the bridge for hours

4:12 pm

jillibus

dc, I love your flickr pic, with flowers growing out of your heads, lol!

4:12 pm

lil*monkey

wow, dc, all these years and I nver knew that

4:12 pm

dcseain

thank the heavans for that, jbv

4:12 pm

JBV

yes a horrible day unforgettable

4:12 pm

dcseain

so much happened that night, monkey, hard to know it all

4:12 pm

dcseain

i only became aware of the metro derailment a few years ago

4:13 pm

JBV

including the incredible rescue of a woman in the water - they keep showing that video, it's so dramatic

4:13 pm

dcseain

yes, jbv, i rememer that as if it were yesterday

4:13 pm

dcseain

and that man who died pulling others from the river.

4:13 pm

lil*monkey

one of my co-workers was in the car that derailed... the metro operators tried to back it up, that's when it started crumpling up

4:13 pm

Madi95

dr5, 1st one?

4:13 pm

dcseain

oh, my. she survived i gather, monkey?

4:13 pm

JBV

do you think that was national news at the time - or is it only because we were there that we remember it

4:14 pm

dcseain

not wetter, but dr5

4:14 pm

Madi95

ty

4:14 pm

lil*monkey

i think it was national!

4:14 pm

dcseain

i don't know JBV. i know it was covered in Baltimore, too.

4:14 pm

dcseain

probabl national, as planes don't go down often

4:15 pm

lil*monkey

my co-worker survived, but he was emotionally distraught for a loooooooooooooong time

4:15 pm

dcseain

understandably, monkey!

4:15 pm

lil*monkey

i believe someone in the metro rail car was killed and he had to hear all the screaming

4:15 pm

Madi95

it seems you would need counseling after survivin that, knowing you did, and others didn't

4:15 pm

lil*monkey

killed or injured, i can't remmebr

4:16 pm

lil*monkey

OK well, let's change the subject to a more cheerful topic :)

4:16 pm

dcseain

yes, there was a couple bad injuries in the car, a i think at least one death.

4:16 pm

JBV

there was a movie about that - surviving a crash, I mean - it was good, can't remember who was in it - harrison ford?

4:16 pm

dcseain

:) okay

4:16 pm

JBV

rosie perez

4:17 pm

JBV

4:18 pm

jillibus

4:21 pm

dcseain

4:24 pm

Madi95

4:25 pm

dcseain

4:25 pm

Madi95

ho4: Any of several evergreen climbing vines or shrubs of the genus Ho4
, with a home range from India and southern China to Australia and having opposite, simple leaves and axillary, umbellate flower clusters. Also called porcelain flower, wax vine.

4:28 pm

dcseain

probably unrelated to Saxa Ho4, though

4:29 pm

JBV

4:29 pm

dcseain

4:29 pm

Madi95

4:30 pm

JBV

dcseain

4:30 pm

dcseain

oops, no

4:30 pm

JBV

or so I heard, my latin and greek are quite primitive

4:30 pm

Madi95

ty

4:30 pm

dcseain

dy4 rhymes with the ti4 of a fork

4:31 pm

dcseain

so, all anglo, comining latin and greek, jbv :)

4:32 pm

JBV

AsGreen

so last night he's up in his bed, and he's asking us to do this, and do that and finally when we're about to kiss him g'night, he asks for one more thing and my husband gets all frustrated and says, "Scotty, you can't keep dictating how things are done around here" (or something like that)....

8:07 pm

AsGreen

and my son just bursts out laughing and says, "dictating, heh heh, Dad said dictating"....

8:07 pm
