2:39 am

herinfernallady

oh

3:02 am

sprite

morning all... did babble shrink in the hot laundry?

3:02 am

herinfernallady

HI Sprite

3:09 am

LoriP

G'd morning Babblers! 68 words? Boooooooring......

3:09 am

herinfernallady

Hi lori

3:09 am

sprite

just you and me, lady? Everybody finished fast, I think

3:09 am

sprite

hi Lori :)

3:10 am

herinfernallady

Lots of people have finished

3:10 am

LoriP

Ack and poopy come to mind...... ***mumbles harsh things about 68***

3:11 am

sprite

poor Lori. Now what to do with the rest of your day :(

3:11 am

LoriP

Not housework...... :D

3:12 am

sprite

good girl. At least you know what not to do. Now for the rest ;)

3:13 am

herinfernallady

Lori you have already thought about doing the housework. It is the thought that counts

3:13 am

sprite

I had breakfast this morning. At a breakfasty time. I am actually proud of myself.

3:13 am

herinfernallady

Yah Sprite

3:14 am

sprite

apple with yoghurt and special K. Yay for me :)

3:14 am

LoriP

That's so radical it just could work sprite.

3:15 am

sprite

who knows, Lori! Next challenge is to repeat this feat tomorrow.

3:16 am

sprite

but now I am hungry. Seems my body got the message that we are awake, and actually digested the breakfast so fast it won't last me until noon. Hm.

3:17 am

herinfernallady

SPrite have some toast no butter and jam

3:17 am

sprite

toast, check. No butter, check, never eat butter anyway. But jam???

3:17 am

LoriP

Have a dougnut! Or greasy hashbrowns.

3:18 am

herinfernallady

Jam about a teaspoon. Like strawberry jam

3:18 am

sprite

dougnuts, yummy. But I seem to remember I was watching my calory intake a little. I better follow lady's advice.

3:19 am

LoriP

calorie counting? booooring.

3:19 am

herinfernallady

My dietician used to tell me snack is good. Like 2 dry biscuits that kind of thing.

3:20 am

herinfernallady

Oh and i don't refuse my self stuff either. If i want chocolate i eat it. Just a few squares and thats it.

3:20 am

sprite

did not say counting. Said watching. I am a 116 k woman with severe physical handicaps. I might benefit from weighing slightly less :)

3:20 am

herinfernallady

Well good on you Sprite for trying its really hard

3:21 am

LoriP

I'm on a seafood diet, If I see food, I eat it.

3:21 am

herinfernallady

Sprite how tall are you?

3:21 am

sprite

am debating getting help of a dietician. Makes it very official, which I don't like. But my friend's one seems to be great. So it might be a good idea.

3:21 am

sprite

1.68 m, lady

3:22 am

sprite

lol Lori, that sounds like heaven.

3:22 am

herinfernallady

Just under my height

3:22 am

sprite

and over your weight, hun. I know. I am horizontally blessed and vertically challenged.

3:23 am

herinfernallady

So you should be about 80 -90 kilos. I say speak to a dietician. They can be helpful. Give you really good food ideas. I go down by 5 kilo amounts.

3:24 am

sprite

I was thinking if I get serious about this, I may want to take at least a year to get to 100 kilos. No need to hurry.

3:25 am

LoriP

heh the 8 WAS an extension of the 7.

3:25 am

sprite

since I have neither, I can only say: YAY Lori.

3:25 am

herinfernallady

Sprite never hurry on weight loss otherwise it will find you again quicker

3:27 am

sprite

yup, I am sort of an expert, lady. Just terribly out of practice, lol. Didn't have any energy to spare for years. Now it seems I am getting less exhausted and I start longing for a little more room in my bed. Less sharing with the tummy.

3:27 am

herinfernallady

Hugs Sprite

3:28 am

sprite

thanks lady :)

3:28 am

herinfernallady

I have to depart latter

3:28 am

sprite

bye hun *hug*

3:30 am

sprite

found one 7, but don't think it will let itself expand to an 8.

3:30 am

sprite

oh... but the anagram does. Thanks Lori

3:30 am

LoriP

It's a pe.....

3:30 am

LoriP

: D

3:30 am

sprite

it's got to beheeheeheeheee.....

3:34 am

LoriP

***If this is so easy, why aren't I don yet?***

3:34 am

sprite

you will be soon, Lori

3:35 am

sprite

you do have the warm wind, I think, Lori?

3:37 am

LoriP

Yup. Still on the first sweep, so I'm not too worried.

3:40 am

sprite

yay, found a funny animal

3:41 am

LoriP

Ye for sprite.

Angelsong

morning, all

6:12 am

periwinkle

6:12 am

Haz1558

Bye elder -see you later!

6:12 am

Scrabbler

6:12 am

featherbee

aww, nice pic aussie!

6:12 am

Aussieme

Scrabbs, you there ?

6:12 am

Haz1558

That was a clue for it, peri. Fill in the missing word for do you want an7 clue....

6:12 am

Scrabbler

Hi Angel

6:12 am

Scrabbler

Yes, Aussie!

6:13 am

Haz1558

Scrabbler, do you memorise numberplates as well?

6:13 am

Aussieme

Nephew update : His face has picked up a little, and he moved the toes on his right foot yesterday !

6:13 am

Atalante

well its quite odd, none of the really famous guys are there this year, and the ones expeted to do well aren't doing so well

6:13 am

periwinkle

ah, I got the an7, thanks Haz

6:13 am

periwinkle

good news Aussie

6:13 am

Scrabbler

Yes, I do, Hazel. I am really weird.

6:13 am

Haz1558

You're welcome, peri.

6:14 am

Aussieme

Thanks Peri !

6:14 am

Haz1558

That's good news, Aussie.

6:14 am

Scrabbler

Yahoo, Aussie! Any diagnosis or determined cause for his stroke?

6:14 am

Aussieme

I know Haz, I was so excited !

6:14 am

Atalante

Mark Cavendish won a stage, which was great for us over here

6:14 am

featherbee

hmm, interesting! is robbie mcewan there?

6:14 am

Haz1558

I'm not as number fixated as you are, Scrabbler, but I do tend to memorise people's number plates.

6:14 am

Haz1558

Phone...

6:14 am

Aussieme

Scrabs, they think it is something rubbing on his brain, but they are not 100 % sure yet.

6:15 am

featherbee

how old aussie?

6:15 am

periwinkle

half way done, bb after the beach, byeee

6:15 am

Scrabbler

?? rubbing on his brain--wondering what that means

6:15 am

Aussieme

7 Feather

6:15 am

Atalante

he's there somewhere I think, but not up front. Cadel Evans is doing well.

6:15 am

featherbee

bye peri

6:15 am

featherbee

i remember that name from last year

6:15 am

featherbee

i'll have to make a point to watch today and try to catch up

6:16 am

Scrabbler

Bye Peri--have fun and put on sunblock every 30 minutes and wear your floaties when you swim and no swimming for 1 hr after eating and don't pee in the water

6:16 am

featherbee

LMAO scrabs, the last comment got me

6:16 am

Atalante

it should be a good stage today, we had the first big category climbs yesterday

6:16 am

Aussieme

he has a swelling on the right hand side which they found doing an **I think** its called an MRI ??

6:16 am

Scrabbler

Hahaha, Feather.

6:16 am

featherbee

ooooo, good!

6:17 am

Scrabbler

Yes, an MRI--more detailed imaging.

6:17 am

featherbee

ata, are you on facebook? hmm, i think maybe you are, and i think we might be friends, but i forget your "real" name, hehe

6:17 am

Atalante

lol yes I am. Becky Hitchin

6:18 am

Aussieme

They think the swelling is rubbing / and/or putting pressure on his brain, which has caused it, but they are still running tests.

6:18 am

Scrabbler

Well, I need to get ready for my trip--I have to get myself and my bunnies ready. I am having separation anxiety over my bunnies.

6:18 am

featherbee

ah yes, there you are with silverclaw

6:18 am

featherbee

just had to refresh my poor weak memory for faces/names

6:18 am

Aussieme

Scrabbs, your Bunnies will be ok.... {{Scrabbs}}

6:18 am

Scrabbler

Aussie, sometimes brain swelling is a result of a stroke.

6:19 am

Atalante

people usually remember Silverclaw, not me :D

6:19 am

Scrabbler

Bye everyone. I will miss you when I am gone. I shall return Wednesday evening.

6:19 am

Atalante

have fun, scrabs!

6:19 am

Aussieme

Oh :0( I was hoping that they were making headway :0(

6:19 am

Scrabbler

I know, Aussie, but I will miss them terribly, my little furballs.

6:19 am

Scrabbler

Bye Babble Buddies!

6:20 am

Aussieme

Well, I have to get ready for work. See you all later xx

6:20 am

Aussieme

**poofs after hugging Scrabbs**

6:20 am

featherbee

bye scrabs! still working on that bingo

6:23 am

Atalante

I wish Sily could decide where she wants to sit

6:31 am

Atalante

oh, and yesterday, some poor guy collided with a tree, feather!

6:35 am

Atalante

and no-one wants to talk to me!

6:35 am

SimonSark

I do Ata but I have customers :P

6:35 am

Atalante

looooool :)

6:35 am

SimonSark

OMG I'm logged in as my husband!

6:35 am

SimonSark

I'll be back in ten seconds

6:36 am

Atalante

not customers! how dare they!

6:36 am

Lizsark

Am I me now??

6:36 am

Lizsark

Ah thats better

6:36 am

Atalante

you are you now :D

6:37 am

Lizsark

I have to start the grid again now :(

6:37 am

Atalante

did I miss any adventures of Oscar during my internet-less weeks?

6:37 am

Lizsark

I dont think so. He's been on best behaviour lately - lulling me into a false sense of security

6:38 am

Atalante

uh oh

6:38 am

Lizsark

Oh Hobbits gone hairless!

6:38 am

Atalante

we got *so* much hair off her

6:39 am

Lizsark

Scully was always the same

6:39 am

Lizsark

I got through four pairs of clippers in her ten years

6:39 am

Atalante

Scully must have been even worse, I expect. Hobbit's coat never grows that long, her feathers only get about 3" long

6:40 am

Lizsark

Sasha was worse than Scully. It took me an hour per leg to get right through the feathers

6:40 am

Atalante

poor Hobbit's got a little bald patch on her ear now. But it was my first attempt at trimming her!

6:40 am

Atalante

omg. that's dedication!

6:41 am

Lizsark

Bless! I had years of practice on both of mine. I miss all that now I've only got the big bruiser

6:41 am

Lizsark

Dedication? I t was love!

6:41 am

Atalante

hobbit's coat is one reason I really like working cockers! They just don't get as hairy!

6:42 am

Atalante

she celebrated her new cut by rolling around in a stagnant pond full of pond weed. I think she thought she looked too smart

6:42 am

Lizsark

I never minded with my two. Oscar actually sheds more than they ever did believe it or not

6:42 am

Atalante

dedication *and* love :D

6:42 am

Lizsark

this grid is hard!

6:43 am

Kazzer99

Afternoon - anyone got a clue for fo 5 please

6:43 am

Atalante

type of wind, kazzer

6:43 am

Lizsark

OMG Look at the little donkey!

6:43 am

EspritdJean

fart doesn't have 5 letters

6:44 am

Atalante

fahrt does. but thats german

6:45 am

Kazzer99

ty vm got it - typical me not getting a weather word

6:45 am

Atalante

don't worry kaz, I never see ocean and I'm a marine biologist

6:46 am

Kazzer99

its not an easy grid today is it

6:47 am

Atalante

noooo

6:50 am

Lizsark

think I might close up for 5 mins and nip up the road to get some milk. I'm desperate for a coffee

6:50 am

EspritdJean

I have nothing bigger than a 5

6:51 am

Atalante

good idea. coffee is necessary

6:51 am

EspritdJean

oh yay just found a 7

6:51 am

Lizsark

vital in fact Ata! I'll be back in 5!

6:54 am

Atalante

sometimes I wish I could drink coffee!

6:56 am

Uniquity

As a non-coffee drinker, I can say coffee is *not* necessary! Stop spreading rumors.

6:57 am

Atalante

I hope its not necessary, or I'd be dead by now. I think I've had 3 sips of coffee in my life

6:58 am

Uniquity

I'm not a big caffeine fan..i avoid it in everything but chocolate.

6:59 am

Atalante

I love tea. Couldn't live without tea, but for its warmth, I'm equally happy with black tea or green tea

6:59 am

Lizsark

Back again and in fact Uniq it is vital to my business - I could not operate without it to say nothing of my babble stats lol

7:00 am

Uniquity

I <3 tea...but decaffeinated tea. As much as it can be, that is. I am a big fan of peppermint right now, but have run out. Plus, it is too warm most days to drink tea :(

7:00 am

Atalante

I'm just horribly allergic to coffee

7:00 am

Lizsark

ah see if I lived somewhere hot I may feel the same

7:00 am

Atalante

I have a *gorgeous* mint tea that I can't drink enough of at the moment

7:01 am

Lizsark

Ata! No! Well you can't share a tent in Peru with me then!!!

7:01 am

Uniquity

I hate the taste and smell of coffee. Makes me feel queasy.

7:02 am

Uniquity

One of myyounger bros used to drink mum's left over (cold) coffee....black. UGH.

7:02 am

Angelsong

fireworks for me...

7:02 am

Lizsark

well I'm happy now - coffee and pringles!

7:02 am

Lizsark

wtg Angel

7:03 am

Atalante

yay pringles!

7:03 am

Kazzer99

good for you angel

7:03 am

Kazzer99

I've got 6 ts left to find

7:04 am

Lizsark

Ata one pop and you cant stop :)

7:04 am

Uniquity

Mm, pringles. Nice choice, liz! Did your other half start playing? I think I recall you mentioning an impending simonsark..

7:04 am

Atalante

awww hobbit's back from her walk with husband

7:04 am

Lizsark

Yes he did. But I got my own back today as I accidently signed on under his account and half filled his grid HA!

7:05 am

Lizsark

actually half is probably an over-exaggeration!

7:05 am

Uniquity

Ha! I was about to ask if you didn't notice the lack of stats, but he would still have those if he just began.

7:05 am

Lizsark

trep

7:06 am

Lizsark

sorry

7:06 am

Lizsark

sticks head in the PB

7:08 am

Atalante

at least do a proper word!

7:09 am

Lizsark

I know I know *hangs head in shame*

7:10 am

Lizsark

#Hey Uniq! You have a book store too!

7:10 am

Uniquity

Well, I work at one. A wonderful little independant store. I go there in...half an hour! :)

7:11 am

Atalante

yay for bookshops!

7:11 am

Lizsark

I'm there now!

7:11 am

Anniebrook

I love bookstores! Hello everyone!

7:11 am

Atalante

I will have my own bookshop one day

7:12 am

Uniquity

A lovely Brit came in the other day and asked me where the restof the books are...she says bookstores are HUGE in the UK...but then we realized it's because they are almost all huge companies.

7:12 am

Lizsark

hang on my parents who are visiting want to see the shop! Have to stop chatting for a bit

7:13 am

Uniquity

Yay Liz and bookstores! I've never been so happy at a job as with the bookstore. Although we are in a mall (bad location) and it's slow sometimes :(

7:14 am

Anniebrook

Uni, do you get a lot of competition from the big book chains?

7:15 am

Uniquity

Way too much :( People come in and say (out loud, to me) "Isn't there a chapters around here?" Makes me soooo sad. We are barely a speck on the Indigo/chapters radar. But our customers are very loyal and wonderful people. The relationships areworth it.

7:15 am

lexleeanne

hey y'all

7:16 am

Anniebrook

Chapters? Is that a chain?

7:16 am

Uniquity

Yeah, it is the big one in NS/Canada. I think US too? Maybe not.

7:17 am

Anniebrook

Uni, not in the Northeast. I love small bookstores..they are personal

7:18 am

Kazzer99

thats it for me FIREWORKS - i am off to do some lunch for the hubby - we have been invited to friends for dinner so I get the evening off

7:18 am

Uniquity

Yay for Annie. You make somesmall business owner very happy. I never realized before how much easierit is when you are a corporation. The discount they receive from the publishers is nearly twice ours.

7:18 am

Anniebrook

yay for kazzer

7:19 am

Kazzer99

its sad really because i love small book shops

7:19 am

lexleeanne

SUPER cartwheelies for Kazzer99!!!!

7:19 am

Uniquity

Congrats Kazzer!

7:20 am

Anniebrook

Uni, I never go into a chain if there is a small shop nearby. I would rather pay a little more and give the business to the owner of the small shop because I know they are book lovers. You have to be to open a bookstore

7:20 am

Kazzer99

thanx all see you tomorrow

7:20 am

Anniebrook

bye, kazzer

7:20 am

Anniebrook

off to make coffee

7:22 am

Uniquity

It's very true. In NS, the chapters employees know nothing about their books and don't particularly enjoy them. Our store (I have discovered) is quite selective about employees and book knowledge. Not sure how I made the cut, but happy! :)

7:23 am

Atalante

I love smaller bookshops, but most books I buy I end up getting from bigger chains because they stock the obscure things I want

7:24 am

Uniquity

Until I worked here, I always bought from CHapters. My universitybudget left little room for full price books:( Here, we do special orders for obscure things that the big stores refuse to order (if they can't get it in five days, they refuse)

7:25 am

Atalante

it is hard on student budgets, price becomes the defining factor

7:26 am

Atalante

especially for books that are over Â£100 each!

7:27 am

Uniquity

I had my school bookstore. I try to get all my books elsewhere (mostly lit books) but it is hard. That's why it's lucky I don't seek out certain books (except Jasper Fforde) and instead read whatever looks fun.

7:27 am

Lizsark

sneaking in to comment - I sell lots of those :)

7:27 am

Lizsark

sneaking back out again...

7:28 am

Uniquity

**I really dislike my school bookstore. D'oh.

7:30 am

Atalante

all my books for my PhD were over Â£100 each. Eeeep. I used to persuade my supervisor to give me copies he'd received to do reviews

7:32 am

Uniquity

Argh. Not even halfway but need to go to work. Take care all!

Atalante

7:39 am

BzznBea

No, Ata.

7:39 am

Vicuna

You mean madder than usual, BzznBea? Not that I've noticed. Why?

7:39 am

BzznBea

Good morning/afternoon all.

8:15 am

Vicuna

Howdy, Haz.

8:16 am

Vicuna

My son says Spangle is a pretty dog. Natural good taste, obviously.

8:16 am

Haz1558

Hello Vicuna! We're on short rations with the grid today.

8:16 am

Haz1558

That boy will go far.

8:17 am

Vicuna

Short rations and it's a hard march to get them.

8:17 am

Haz1558

Strangely enough, there are not that many really strange words. By that I mean ones that have never appeared before.

8:18 am

Atalante

back with blissfully warm oatmeal

8:18 am

Haz1558

Do you mean porridge?

8:18 am

Atalante

yes LOL

8:19 am

Haz1558

I've always wondered if they were the same thing.

8:19 am

Atalante

I got so annoyed by american friends going "what's porridge?" that I gave in and called it oatmeal

8:20 am

Haz1558

The universal translator is needed more than you'd imagine.

8:21 am

Vicuna

They don't know what porridge is???

8:22 am

Atalante

oregonians are weird

8:22 am

Boobear

hi everyone

8:22 am

Haz1558

Hello Boobear.

8:24 am

8:24 am

Vicuna

We're not weird at all. No way.

8:24 am

Haz1558

Well, we'll unstick you.

8:24 am

Vicuna

Hello, Boobear.

8:24 am

Haz1558

Not in the slightest, Vicuna, I agree.

8:24 am

lil*monkey

oh thank you Haz! how about a clue for the to7 please?

8:24 am

Atalante

not at all

8:24 am

lil*monkey

(and i do know what porridge is)

8:25 am

Haz1558

to7 - compound word involving a garment towards the end

8:25 am

lil*monkey

oh my! I guess I'll need a fish for that one

8:26 am

Haz1558

We're rationing fish, they may be in short supply later on.

8:26 am

Atalante

especially haddok

8:26 am

lil*monkey

better order extra fish for today's grid

8:27 am

Vicuna

Must go hang out laundry. Back in a smidge.

8:27 am

See you shortly, Vicuna. Give your son an extra pat on the head. I like the sound of him.

8:30 am

lil*monkey

8:47 am

flosey

ah yes, suffered those - not worth it, need the sleep

8:48 am

Atalante

gosh, its amazing how much better you can feel after eating somethung, isn't it??!

8:48 am

Haz1558

We're probably fortunate over here in that flip happens in the morning when you've supposedly had brain-restoring sleep.

8:48 am

flosey

thanks for clues Haz and Annie, have a busy day

8:49 am

flosey

have a great day everyone, see some of you at flip

8:49 am

Haz1558

Bye flosey - have a good day.

8:49 am

Haz1558

You mean oatmeal/porridge?

8:50 am

Atalante

yep! its the most wonderfully filling and warming thing

8:50 am

Haz1558

I know. It's comfort food.

8:50 am

Haz1558

Phone......

8:50 am

Vicuna

Heh. I had to eat oatmeal/porridge every morning of my life for 17 years, and it would not break my heart if I never had it again.

8:52 am

Atalante

I had a similar childhood thing! I coudlnt' stand it for years, but recently its become good again

8:52 am

Vicuna

Actually, I don't dislike it. I just never seek it out.

8:54 am

Atalante

I do whenver I'm on a diet. low-fat food that's still filling!

8:54 am

Vicuna

Sticks to your ribs!

8:54 am

Vicuna

But not your bum.

8:54 am

Vicuna

As it were.

8:55 am

Atalante

thats fine! It can stick to my ribs as long as the fat comes off my bum!

8:58 am

Haz1558

I'm telling you - we need to get working on that fat transplant/fuel burning device.

8:58 am

Atalante

absolutely!

8:59 am

Vicuna

Wait a minute, Haz, I just had a dreadful thought...

9:00 am

Atalante

uhoh

9:00 am

Vicuna

If you ever pe7 your method of not having to feed one's family, won't that destroy the critical fat reserves for your feul scheme?

9:00 am

Vicuna

*fuel

9:02 am

Atalante

hmmmm. good point. but nothing is ever pe7

9:03 am

Vicuna

True. But I was hoping Haz would devise an7 brilliant solution.

9:04 am

Vicuna

Because then Haz would be my he4/5.

9:04 am

Atalante

she isn't already?

9:04 am

Haz1558

Back from yet another phone call. What do I have to be brilliant about?

9:05 am

Vicuna

Well, sure she is... But even more so!

9:05 am

Haz1558

Oh, the non-feeding of family? A tricky one. A diet of porridge/oatmeal?

9:06 am

Haz1558

They'd get bored, not demand to be fed so often, thereby reducing the amount of fat to be sucked out in the transplant programme. It would be a kind of two step process.

9:06 am

Atalante

hydroponic algae might work

9:07 am

Dorens

morning

9:07 am

Vicuna

For feeding or for fueling?

9:07 am

Haz1558

What is certain, is that a diet consisting of cr5/14 would be no use. Someone tried it once and the weight cr5/14 on at a steady pace.

9:07 am

Atalante

algal sludge is never appetising

9:07 am

Atalante

hi dorens

9:07 am

Vicuna

Hello, Dorens.

9:07 am

Haz1558

Good morning Dorens.

9:08 am

Anniebrook

Fireworks!

9:08 am

Vicuna

And when the co4/5 and to7 no longer fit, you know it's been a failure.

9:08 am

Haz1558

Congratulations Annie!

9:08 am

Dorens

yay annie!

9:08 am

Vicuna

Yay for Annieb!

9:08 am

Anniebrook

Hi dorens

9:09 am

Vicuna

So, Ata, are you saying algal sludge is tr4/7?

9:09 am

Atalante

well ..... maybe from the point of view of tastiness

9:10 am

Vicuna

So you would be lo4/5 to eat it then.

9:10 am

Atalante

I'd prefer it to brussel sprouts

9:11 am

redturtlehead

Morning people this is not exactly an easy little grid.

9:11 am

Vicuna

Oooooo, I love brussel sprouts! lol

9:11 am

Dorens

easy grids rarely are

9:11 am

Atalante

ewwwwwwwww

9:11 am

Vicuna

Hello, redturtlehead.

9:11 am

Dorens

brussels sprouts are the best

9:12 am

Vicuna

Easy grids are rarely easy, Dorens???

9:12 am

Well, my friends, I must go take inventory of how many picture frames I'll have to purchase. Back later. Maybe I'll bring a whole big platter of brussel sprouts to share!

9:18 am

Atalante

oh I do, and I rejoice in never having to eat them again!

9:18 am

Atalante

bye vi dear!

9:19 am

Dorens

thank you vi I will appreciate them! enjoy your day

9:20 am

Dorens

i hated them as a child, hated asparagus too (nasty tinned stuff my mother served)

9:21 am

Atalante

A lot of my tastes have changed since childhood, but I hated sprouts then and still dislike them utterly!

9:22 am

Dorens

all right, all right, I give up!!!! (more for me)

9:22 am

Atalante

*grin* yes, just enjoy all of them!

9:22 am

Atalante

firebirds!

9:23 am

Dorens

9:29 am

9:35 am

Lizsark

I'm back again...Ata? Are you still here

9:35 am

Atalante

yep, just about!

9:35 am

Lizsark

Oh rats more customers!

9:36 am

Lizsark

Did you finish the grid

9:36 am

Atalante

those customers are so annoying!

9:36 am

Atalante

yep, just now :)

9:37 am

Lizsark

they really are Ata but in this case its my friend June and she's coming to Peru!!!! (Hint!!!)

9:37 am

Lizsark

well done on the grid by the way

9:38 am

SeanS

morning everyone! how many words today?

9:38 am

Lizsark

only 68 Sean

9:38 am

Atalante

I keep pestering the Tolkien people to decide when their meeting is next year. Wish they would decide!

9:38 am

Lizsark

I wish they would too :)

9:38 am

SeanS

68?! wow, i was hoping for a nice long one today :(

9:39 am

Lizsark

It'd make fundraising hard if you dont have much time left

9:39 am

falon

Hey Sean... just log out and put in a new email address so you get the stats back

9:39 am

Lizsark

Sean its a toughie today

9:40 am

SeanS

is it? well, mabye it'll take most of my day at work anyway

9:40 am

Atalante

I *know*. grrrrrr. I keep pestering them though :)

9:40 am

Lizsark

Hey, talking of Peru I just ordered me another Hugh Thomson book. I so enjoyed Cochineal Red

9:41 am

SeanS

my brother lives in Peru right now. he loves it there

9:41 am

Lizsark

Nooooo really?!

9:42 am

Atalante

I'm glad you liked it, it really is a good book!

9:42 am

SeanS

he's teaching english in Lima

9:42 am

Lizsark

Thanks for letting me in on the Thomson secret lol

9:42 am

Lizsark

Sean I'm going out there in just over a years time and am trying to get Ata to come with me

9:43 am

Atalante

I'm quite good at finding obscure travel writers and good travel books

9:43 am

Lizsark

Find me some about Jordan then please Ata! LOL

9:43 am

SeanS

oh yeah? well, based on his blogged experience, i definitely think you would enjoy it. gotta see the jungle and the Incan ruins, from what i hear

9:44 am

Atalante

there aren't any! LOL. Well, I've never found any brilliant books about that area. Washington Irvine talks about Petra a bit though

9:44 am

Lizsark

We fly to Lima then to Cusco and then are trekking the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu

9:45 am

SeanS

i want to do that so badly, Liz!

9:45 am

Lizsark

I know Ata! I have only found one by Guy de Montfort but would love to get hold of another - more about the desert than about Petra

9:45 am

Lizsark

Sean would your brother mind me reading his blog?

9:45 am

Atalante

Have you read William Dalrymple's travel books? They aren't about Jordan, but generally about Middle East / India and they are *wonderful*

9:45 am

SeanS

i'm sure he wouldn't

9:46 am

Lizsark

I've read a couple of his about India Ata

9:46 am

SeanS

http://jef-s.livejournal.com/

9:46 am

Atalante

love his writing

9:47 am

Lizsark

Oh thank you so much :) I was just going to send you my email addy so you could let me know the name!!

9:47 am

SeanS

you might have to hit "go earlier" at the bottom a few times to get back to the beginning, Liz

9:47 am

Atalante

wow. *amazing* photos!

9:48 am

Lizsark

Oh My God! Ata you have to go have a look at the pics on there

9:48 am

Lizsark

Oh you just did LOL

9:48 am

Atalante

just have!

9:48 am

Lizsark

Thats wonderful Sean, thanks so much!

9:48 am

Atalante

I'm desperately hoping the Tolkien meeting will be the week before the Peru trek

9:49 am

SeanS

no problem :)

9:49 am

Lizsark

oh oh he flew over the Nasca lines too!

9:49 am

SeanS

indeed he did

9:49 am

Lizsark

I'll drop him a line on the blog and tell him you sent me there Sean. Its fab!

9:49 am

Haz1558

Are you definitely going to Peru, Atalante? Or definitely, maybe?

9:50 am

SeanS

he's had some time... been there since January

9:50 am

Lizsark

Haz! Hello

9:50 am

SeanS

feel free, Liz

9:50 am

Lizsark

After looking at those photos Sean I wish I was going this September not next!

9:50 am

Haz1558

Hello Liz - I've been dropping in an out a bit - phone calls and things are so disrupting.

9:51 am

Lizsark

I know! Dont you hate it when people interrupt your Babble time!

9:51 am

Haz1558

It's awful. You try to remain gracious but it's an effort.

9:51 am

Atalante

if my annual Tolkien thingy isn't in the same week, then yes, I want to go!

9:52 am

Haz1558

That would be amazing.

9:53 am

Lizsark

We could end up with a whole Babble tent going! We'll need a laptop!

9:53 am

Atalante

really really amazing

9:53 am

SeanS

yes, Liz... just happened to me! of course, I am at work, so I kinda have to expect it...

9:53 am

Atalante

I think Haz and Spangle and FM should come

9:55 am

Haz1558

Somebody has to stay at home and mind the stuff.

9:56 am

Lizsark

LOL @ Sean and Haz...we should all have signs over our desks saying "Babble Time Please Do Not Interrupt"

9:56 am

Haz1558

I'm not greatly into tents unless they have a bathroom attached.

9:57 am

SeanS

good idea, Liz!

9:57 am

Atalante

are dogs allowed on the ferries back and forth from NI?

9:57 am

Lizsark

You wouldn't have liked the Jordan trek then - loos were anywhere you could find in the middle of nowhere!

9:58 am

Haz1558

No, I don't think I would have liked it much!

9:59 am

Haz1558

Dogs are allowed, but they have to stay in vehicles or out of public areas.

9:59 am

Atalante

they have to be left in the car for the whole time! poor things!

10:00 am

Lizsark

Right! I have to go and do some bubble wrapping, back later...have fun all :) Sean thanks for the blog link :)

10:00 am

Haz1558

There's probably some health and safety rule.

10:00 am

Haz1558

Bye Liz.

10:01 am

Lizsark

*waves bye* *poof*

10:01 am

Atalante

when we were in Greenland, we'd dig holes for toilet functions, and we'd drop the used loo roll in the hole too (obviously). Which were always unearthed by the Arctic foxes which would promptly run round the island tangled up in loo roll

10:01 am

Haz1558

Ata, did you see the bit in the paper where a mother isn't allowed to accompany her own disabled son in a council provided taxi because she hasn't been CRB checked yet.

10:02 am

Haz1558

(Supply the missing question mark)

10:02 am

Atalante

ppl are sooooooo stupid

10:03 am

Haz1558

I know there are rules, but good grief, does common sense have to be banished?

10:04 am

Atalante

apparently so. that is ridiculous

10:05 am

Haz1558

Hopefully the council will have somebody on board who will say 'Make an exception to the rule'.

10:05 am

Atalante

oh I doubt it!

10:06 am

Haz1558

Well then, I need to get my banner painted and start picketing 'Your rules stink!'

10:07 am

Atalante

absolutely! and put "down with tesco" on the back

10:08 am

Haz1558

A double whammy. I like it. Bargain picketing.

10:08 am

Atalante

if you need any other message, paint it on spangle

10:09 am

Haz1558

Maybe I should just get a Grumpy old woman T-shirt with all my gripes written on it.

10:09 am

Atalante

i'll fabric paint one for you!

10:10 am

Haz1558

'Cut your hair', 'Put more clothes on' 'Look in the mirror before you come out' 'Look after your children properly'

10:10 am

Haz1558

I'll need a big T-shirt.

10:10 am

Lindrickway

Can you buy tshirts that big Haz? LOL

10:11 am

Haz1558

'Redundant apostrophe alert' 'That's not how you spell that' 'Manners cost nothing'

10:11 am

Atalante

you could make tags and tie them onto the shirt

10:12 am

Haz1558

Do you think I might start to look a wee bit conspicuous?

10:13 am

hetty

Hi Haz. While recently in Englnd I became an official member of thye society of the four A's--"Abolish Aberrant Apostrophe Association" Do you belong too?

10:14 am

Atalante

not in a town where funeral wreaths look like baileys

10:14 am

Haz1558

I'm possibly a founder member, hetty. Hello!

10:15 am

Haz1558

Is there really such a society? What do you do for activities?

10:15 am

hetty

Now all I need is some association to help me abolish my own mistypings

10:16 am

Haz1558

Well, spellcheck can only go so far. It can't work out context so its uses are limited.

10:16 am

Haz1558

Phone..

10:17 am

hetty

Well, there are a few of us who spent a happy time sharing our favourite aberrant apostrophe stories and declarng one another bona fide members .

10:17 am

Atalante

mistypings don't matter so much, because we all know it's just typing. If you were writing the same words, they would be perfect

10:19 am

hetty

Gee thanks Ata. You cheer me up. Only if I were writing the words they would be totally illegible!

10:20 am

hetty

Arthritis don't you know

10:20 am

Atalante

they are perfectly legible typed, anyway! most ppl's minds just skip over the typos and understand meaning anyway

10:22 am

Haz1558

I'm back. It kills me when I see a signwriter's work on a bakery van ' Wedding cake's, Anniversary's'

10:22 am

harpjane

hello

10:23 am

Haz1558

Hello harpjane.

10:23 am

hetty

O(.K. Haz. That contibution makes you a ona fide member of AAAA

10:23 am

Haz1558

Wonderful! I will be proud to tell people that I am a member of such a fine organisation.

10:24 am

hetty

How d ye do, Harpjane. We're discussing aberrant apostrophes.

10:25 am

harpjane

yes, it is one of my pet peeve's!

10:25 am

Haz1558

Anything to distract from <------- the grid.

10:25 am

harpjane

yeah i beginning to figure out that the grid is tough, i went to the list after, like, 12 words!

10:25 am

Haz1558

Which is not as savage as might first appear.

10:26 am

artlady

glad to hear that...I'm hitting a wall!

10:27 am

Haz1558

Hello artlady. There aren't that many that haven't appeared before in a babble grid, but some are more easily discovered than others.

10:36 am

Atalante

Haz broke the chaaaat!

10:37 am

SeanS

wow, i had a rush of customers there... finally back to the grid

10:37 am

Haz1558

It's one of those tumbleweed drifting through the chat hours.

10:38 am

Haz1558

I didn't want to disturb the concentrating babblers.

10:38 am

SeanS

wow, it appears that way... such a small grid, you would think more chatting would be going on

10:39 am

artlady

Much appreciated! (by us concentrating Babblers'...see I was paying attention to the apostrophe bit!!...also a pet peeve of mine!)

10:39 am

Haz1558

Sometimes the chat dries up, but that's normal, just like in any conversation.

10:39 am

SeanS

indeed, Haz

10:40 am

Haz1558

Of course, all the self-confessed apostrophe peevers will have to be extra careful not to slip up themselves.

10:40 am

artlady

true

10:42 am

SeanS

i don't have the discipline to be an apostrophe peever... i'm barely a decent speller

10:42 am

Haz1558

A recent TV show here (The Apprentice) saw a group trying to launch a range of cards aimed at a day to celebrate being single. It took them hours to debate where the apostrophe should go in SINGLES DAY. Single's Day? Singles'Day? Or Singles Day?

10:43 am

SeanS

i always think "Thor" should be a word...

10:43 am

SeanS

wow, that's pretty incredible

10:43 am

Atalante

oh yes! that was soooo annoying

10:43 am

artlady

It depends...Does the day belong to a singular single? Multiple singles? Or it it just a name of a day???

10:44 am

Haz1558

That was the crux of the debate, artlady.

10:45 am

artlady

Yes, and their final decision?

10:46 am

Haz1558

I can't remember!

10:46 am

artlady

lol

10:47 am

Atalante

I can't remember either, but I don't think they got it right

10:47 am

Boobear

artlady

ditto!

10:52 am

artlady

enjoy your walk!

10:52 am

Haz1558

Seconded.

10:53 am

Atalante

I will - its finally sunny here!

10:53 am

Haz1558

And I should take a break as well. Enjoy the grid and see you later.

Dorens

yay doren!

1:15 pm

Judi

Hi, Kids. I just started. Neighbor is having a pool party. Music blaring. Blazing sun. Alas, I am not invited.

1:16 pm

Dorens

well hope you have airconditioning... then you can be happy that you're not at his party.

1:17 pm

Judi

Oh, yes. Have A/C. Good thing, because I have to sand the remnants of some wall paper a little later. I'm procrastinating.

1:18 pm

Dorens

i know all about procrastinating!!!

1:19 pm

Judi

It's a hellish job, as the border strip of paper was just under the crown moulding. Ripped off the crown moulding... that was the easy part.

1:19 pm

Dorens

i'm impressed. i definitely would not have attempted that one myself

1:20 pm

Judi

Feh. A latter, a screwdriver and a little attitude - I finished it up in about 1.5 hours. That was a week ago. Wall paper border has been mocking me ever since.

1:20 pm

Judi

*ladder* Can't believe I did that.

1:21 pm

Dorens

i was just thinking you had to run to starbucks first for a latte!

1:22 pm

Judi

Fractured phoenetics. Home DIY really does damage your brain cells.

1:22 pm

Dorens

oh, in my case I chalk it up to age

1:29 pm

Judi

Is it just you and me here, Dorens? I know I'm late to the party today. Was running errands and made a few candles earlier.

1:32 pm

Judi

*sigh* One is the loneliest number.

1:35 pm

Uniquity

Two can be as bad as one.

1:36 pm

Judi

Ah! A faint echo in the cavern! Hello, Uni!

1:37 pm

Uniquity

Bonjour Judi! Is this grid hard, or am I slow?

1:37 pm

autumn moon

hullo. How's your afternoon going?

1:38 pm

autumn moon

I think it's hard, Uni. I have 2 found

1:38 pm

Judi

Hi, Autumn moon. No, it's rather tricky, Uni. The small ones usually are.

1:40 pm

Judi

I have 22 left. *presses nose to grindstone*

1:41 pm

Uniquity

24 here. I am uncertain over whether this grid is worth it. Is the 8 tricky? I have the 7s..

1:41 pm

autumn moon

I have 12 now but I think I will go grab something to eat

1:41 pm

Uniquity

**24 left here

1:41 pm

(oh, 56 left)

Madi95

hello babblers

1:42 pm

autumn moon

Hi Madi!

1:43 pm

Madi95

how's the grid?

1:43 pm

autumn moon

kinda icky, Madi.

1:43 pm

autumn moon

but that's only my opinion

1:45 pm

2:43 pm

lynxxx

Hi Jean!

2:43 pm

autumn moon

It was a long week and I have done very little today. Picked up groceries and finished the grid

2:44 pm

autumn moon

Went to list with 18 left

2:44 pm

gwenski

I'm sure many here will agree that you have had a productive day, autumn

2:45 pm

lynxxx

Autumn - 'little' sounds like just what you needed

2:45 pm

autumn moon

nah, gwen. Getting groceries is almost therapy for me

2:46 pm

gwenski

But, finishing the grid means something, right?

2:46 pm

autumn moon

yes, gwen. I really like big grids on the weekend, tho

2:47 pm

autumn moon

my crappy week.

2:47 pm

lynxxx

don't think so

2:48 pm

gwenski

Considering that we're moving in two weeks, I don't feel (as) guilty stopping and working on a grid that's small!

2:48 pm

autumn moon

I thought maybe you were by your comment about just what I needed

2:48 pm

lynxxx

oh no, when someone says a

2:49 pm

autumn moon

I am supposed to be packing the living room into boxes right now too, Gwen. But I found something better to do.

2:49 pm

lynxxx

'long' week it usually means it was draining

2:49 pm

autumn moon

so... on that note, clues before I go do that?

2:49 pm

lynxxx

Where are you moving to Gwenski?

2:50 pm

gwenski

YAY for Gwenski!

2:50 pm

lynxxx

2:51 pm

lynxxx

Congrats Gwenski - That's exciting!!

2:51 pm

autumn moon

Lynx - I can never figure out if you are up early or up late

2:52 pm

lynxxx

Usually up ridiculously early

2:52 pm

autumn moon

I am an early riser. Up at 4:45 during the week and if I sleep past 7 on the weekend - that's really sleeping in

2:53 pm

gwenski

Ugh. That's early. But we were up at 4:45 to go do a church cleaning job today, so it would be all spiffy before a wedding.

2:54 pm

lynxxx

I'm much the same then. I blame my son - who is now 30! - I never 'recovered' from those early morning feeds

2:54 pm

KrisE

no - though that would be fun

4:52 pm

redturtlehead

Bethaney, on licketys page there is a list of icon themes, is that what you mean? If you go to Lickety, there is a link to the themes, suggested by other babblers.

4:52 pm

KrisE

Yes - today's theme is cutlery

4:52 pm

BethaneyD

I just know that sonetimes in the chat people mention the grid's theme. I thought it is tied in somehow to the grid.
