12:26 am

PAV3

thanks Lore and Jilli...I love blue, but I'm hoping to find a truly breathtaking photo that will be worthy of presenting to my fellow Babblers...

12:26 am

pugmama763

after the ass reaming you got months ago I'd think you'd have learned its considered Licketys privilege to say when clues are up MLF

12:26 am

MLFAN17

pug Lickety came in here and said that ANYONE could say it

12:27 am

Kazozz

I've been living in Tahoe for the past 13 years Lore!

12:27 am

MLFAN17

the unnecessary reaimngis what you should say

12:27 am

loredana

12:29 am

loredana

Kaz i always assume your in the UK just read your profile how very wonderful for you

12:30 am

MLFAN17

lickety has never mentioned it ot me directly anyway so apprently LICKETY IS NOT OFFENDED by it

12:30 am

Kazozz

its a little confusing..didn't leave the UK until my early 30's Lore..we only intended to stay here for 2 years...but here we still are!

12:30 am

1:15 am

Andree

ah to be young again dc

1:15 am

mrpresident

andree... our place is tiny, but our rent is 'reasonable'... so to live large or live like sardines comes down to the price (and my sanity)

1:15 am

mrpresident

hi dcs :))

1:15 am

Andree

sanity works for me

1:15 am

dcseain

hello, mrp, pav3, andree

herinfernallady

We ahve a 3 bedroom house for under $2 000 a month but next door is new and close to $3 000

1:22 am

dcseain

i can get 3BR for 1500-1900 around here right now.

1:23 am

herinfernallady

wow

1:24 am

Andree

Sydney prices are double that dc, daughter and i pay 740 per week, but it is very large and has a pool

1:25 am

dcseain

i'd pay 300-1500 more closer to the city. I live about 20km West of DC, and about 15km W of the inner burbs.

1:25 am

Andree

and it is less than we were paying before we pooled our resources

1:25 am

herinfernallady

That is obscene

1:26 am

dcseain

i want to buy in inner burbs, but buying there is much cheaper than renting there for some reason.

1:26 am

dcseain

pooling resources does wonders

3:40 am

hurshy

how did you do them so fast???

3:40 am

sprite

training. And it only works if they are short. As soon as there are bigger K words, I am still completely lost.

3:40 am

KatieMcG

cheating,,,,,,,can be the onlly answer

3:40 am

sprite

*sprite never cheats*

3:41 am

hurshy

well, good to know they are short... i have 2 more to find

3:41 am

KatieMcG

I've been working on them for ages and have only got 4

3:41 am

sprite

only one is a 5, hursh

3:41 am

hurshy

and i have it so that's good

3:41 am

hurshy

are they all ka?

3:42 am

sprite

you'll remember how I never could find them, and then started to get them out of the way first before allowing myself to babble on? That is a good way to learn.

3:42 am

sprite

no hursh, 2 are not

3:42 am

Atalante

nope

3:42 am

KatieMcG

Only one to go and I've got the 5 :-)

3:42 am

hurshy

aha

3:42 am

hurshy

i need those 2 then

3:42 am

hurshy

got a kn

3:42 am

sprite

yay Katie, only shorties to go then

3:43 am

sprite

3:43 am

KatieMcG

3:43 am

hurshy

3:43 am

Atalante

3:43 am

sprite

wtg both of you!

3:44 am

sprite

*joins Katie and Ata and jumps around*

3:44 am

sprite

all three of you

3:45 am

hurshy

why is it that if you wake up in the wee hours you are hungrier than if you wake up at the normal time, even though at the normal time, it's been longer since you ate?

3:45 am

sprite

no idea, but it is true

3:48 am

sprite

yay for me, spotted the on the ocean word!

3:48 am

hurshy

i feel like the U's should be easier than this...

3:49 am

sprite

hm, am still babbling at random and don't have a single u. That bodes ill ;)

3:49 am

Atalante

Us are never easy

3:49 am

KatieMcG

I have one but only one

3:50 am

hurshy

i have 7...

3:50 am

hurshy

but i have 26 L's

3:50 am

sprite

so why can't I disconnect a chain?

3:50 am

hurshy

you would have to use the N twice

3:50 am

Atalante

so you can derat but not unrat? typical!

3:50 am

sprite

oh! Smart hurshy! Thanks hun, too true.

3:51 am

KatieMcG

I could get lots of u words if we could have the n twice

3:51 am

sprite

oh, but I found a fun toy :)

3:51 am

sprite

not with an U though

3:52 am

Atalante

yay sprite's found the sex toys!

3:52 am

KatieMcG

so many lines so little time :-)

3:52 am

sprite

:)

3:53 am

hurshy

2nd row grey!

3:53 am

sprite

I have 4 grey tiles. One of my own doing.

3:54 am

sprite

but using the toy past tense is not valid

3:54 am

hurshy

cause people are sleeping by then

3:54 am

Atalante

no, just the plural

3:55 am

sprite

that must be it. Though good sex always gives me energy. Hubby goes to sleep and I am awake for hours.

3:57 am

hurshy

oh jeepers, i'd overlooked the bone and related

3:57 am

hurshy

that leaves only 2 U's, phew

3:57 am

sprite

thanks hursh

3:57 am

LoriP

Ack!!!! My last vowel ***tiny smug*** was in 7. A whopping total of 2 7's now.

3:58 am

KatieMcG

I'm on 97, going to take a break as I still only have one u word :-)

3:58 am

sprite

go Lori go!

3:58 am

LoriP

***u' don't count as vowel in my current world, because there is no u....***

3:58 am

LoriP

4:00 am

G'd morning hydra. I haven't hardly touched the d yet.

4:00 am

hydra

Do you have the one connected with fashion, hursh?

4:00 am

NonoNanette

good morning hydra

4:00 am

sprite

4:00 am

hurshy

yep

4:01 am

hurshy

oh, the other one is my last D word, let me look...

4:01 am

hydra

Oh no! Poor sprite. It sounds ghastly.

4:01 am

sprite

how are you doing, hydra? Any publishing yet?

4:01 am

hydra

No. Given it up for the time being in favour of astrology.

4:01 am

sprite

nothing serious, hydra, just very irkitating (hey Lori, do you see my new word?)

4:02 am

sprite

woot for astrology. Very interesting study and practice.

4:02 am

hydra

That's a great word. Irkitating - I like it!

4:02 am

sprite

:)

4:02 am

hydra

hurshy? Any news of the de word?

4:02 am

LoriP

irkitating. heh

4:03 am

hurshy

no. it ought to be pt of de4 but it ain't

4:03 am

hydra

Yes, I tried that and it wouldn't have it. Grrrr!

4:04 am

hurshy

and it's not getting rid of fungus

4:04 am

hurshy

so then it has to be deo or deu, i guess

4:04 am

NonoNanette

hi Monkey :)

4:05 am

MonkeyGames

I saw how you are, Sprite; Hang in there!!!! How is Caya?

4:06 am

sprite

oh nice, thanks, and that leads to a 7 as well

4:06 am

MonkeyGames

Not using the list yet... mine is a 6/27

4:06 am

hydra

Got that one, Monkey. There's another after the de7/44

4:06 am

MonkeyGames

Will let you know if I see it...

4:06 am

sprite

Caya is still on the mend MonkeyG! The shadows under her eyes are lessening all the time, she has more energy every day and has started wanting to do things again. Going well :)

4:07 am

MonkeyGames

Oh good! Walter was still having the occasional raccoon-eyes day right up to a ocuple of weeks ago. Poor Caya!

4:08 am

sprite

as long as she is going in the right direction, it is ok, MonkeyG :) Glad you MonkeyMan is back to his normal shiny self. I keep things simple: as soon as I see her raccoon-look coming back, I put her in bed early after a prolongued hug-cum-reiki.

4:09 am

sprite

*youR MonkeyMan

4:09 am

MonkeyGames

Yes, that's the right approach. Gove her a kiss fo rme.

4:09 am

sprite

I will! She really wants to see you again. Especially Walter of course :)

4:10 am

MonkeyGames

Of course. Yes, I'd like us all to get together again! I'll cook something over here this time.

4:10 am

sprite

lovely! Give me some more time to get better and we will make it a date.

4:11 am

hurshy

jeepers, all these vowels are like a flashlight in the eyes

4:11 am

MonkeyGames

You bet! I need some time too; school is intense right now.

4:11 am

sprite

that easy to find, hursh, or that blinding?

4:12 am

sprite

I bet, MonkeyG! Go for it, you are so close to finishing!

4:12 am

hurshy

blinding

4:12 am

sprite

darn. I'd have preferred easy to find.

4:12 am

hurshy

i should go back to sleep anyway. i have 28 to go, and that's 2 dreaded 14's. ttfn

4:13 am

hydra

Babble is great for those sleepless hours...

Babble is a great place to be when the land of dreams stays closed to you

4:29 am

Atalante

she likes pheasants :)

4:30 am

sprite

she could bring you one home, Ata :)

4:30 am

LoriP

lol Ata, a couple hours alter, and he finally gave in?

4:30 am

Atalante

yep!

4:30 am

sprite

so shall I come to dinner tomorrow then?

4:31 am

Atalante

make it a few weeks, pheasant tastes better when hung for a while

4:32 am

sprite

ah, there I go with my shining lack of knowledge, lol. Ok, a couple of weeks and not one day :) Will remember.

4:32 am

Atalante

*grin*

4:33 am

Atalante

the only problem is that she's only ever caught *1* pheasant in her 6 years of life ...

4:33 am

sprite

then she is due for another

4:34 am

Atalante

that 1 was about 2 months ago LOL

4:34 am

LoriP

Maybe the hub will give Hobbit somepointers this morn....

4:35 am

Atalante

yeah ... his idea of giving the dog a good walk is to sit on a nearby tree trunk and watch hobbit run around

4:42 am

sandr

help with the as 5/10 please

4:43 am

sandr

got it thanks

4:43 am

LoriP

4:44 am

LoriP

G'd mornign sandr

4:48 am

sprite

hi sandr

4:49 am

niksforjaff

can someone please explain..i put in the de6/27 in lickety and checked with morewords and the grid tells me its not in the dictionary..hi sprite

4:49 am

sprite

lickety uses a newer version of enable than babble, might be what has caused the difference.

4:49 am

sprite

and hi nikki :)

4:50 am

niksforjaff

so its a completely word then?

4:50 am

sprite

afk for a short while

4:50 am

niksforjaff

different word?

4:51 am

rolin

niks...do you have the abbrev. de4/6?

4:51 am

Haz1558

Forget that word (demoed) as far as babble today is concerned. It won't take it and won't give you any points. Babble thinks it doesn't exist.

4:52 am

niksforjaff

i have the de4/6..is it a plural of?

4:53 am

niksforjaff

ok..thanks

4:53 am

LoriP

G'd morning niks, rolin, Haz

4:53 am

Atalante

you'll be proud to know I didn't feed Hobbit this morning, Haz and Lori ;)

4:53 am

Haz1558

Good morning/evening all by the way.

4:53 am

niksforjaff

hi lori

4:53 am

NonoNanette

good morning Haz!

4:53 am

LoriP

excellent. Feeding pets is highly overrated.

4:54 am

Haz1558

Great news, Atalante - pleased to hear it. Spangle hasn't been fed this morning either.

4:54 am

NonoNanette

and why are we not feeding the animals?

4:54 am

Haz1558

In case we spoil them.

4:55 am

Atalante

they are all going on a diet of gruel once a morning

4:55 am

NonoNanette

me thinks its already too late for that Haz :)

4:55 am

Atalante

*once a day!

4:55 am

LoriP

Since when is food a right?

4:55 am

Haz1558

It's a case of staging an intervention with Ata. She had thought she was supposed to feed them regularly.

4:56 am

Atalante

i suppose i should get her a kennel too

4:57 am

Haz1558

Absolutely. One without any comforts of any kind.

4:57 am

LoriP

Outside will teach them survival skills they lack, when being fed by humans.

4:58 am

Atalante

you mean she might learn to catch more pheasants?

4:58 am

LoriP

Musn't coddle them.

4:58 am

Haz1558

I'd say pheasants are currently quaking in their boots at the thought of a new improved hunting Hobbit.

4:59 am

Atalante

i'd say they are probably laughing

4:59 am

LoriP

word got out about Hobbit's recent capture, so they are hiding en masse. bad for the bird population.

4:59 am

Haz1558

And the peasants who look after the pheasants are probably talking about 'The Black streak'

5:00 am

LoriP

***Wow, I am HATING this 'm'***

5:00 am

Atalante

she did chase her Arch Enemy up a tree yesterday. that was a success for her!

5:00 am

Haz1558

It's not pleasant to be a peasant pheasant owner when the Black Streak is around.

5:00 am

LoriP

See? Be firm Ata.

Hello all.

crosshair

we have you regular poof,your virtual poof and your actual poof...mmmm

6:00 am

Scrabbler

Hi ata

6:00 am

crosshair

howdy scrabbs;)

6:01 am

SharonRA

good morning everybody

6:01 am

crosshair

morning sharon;)

6:01 am

Scrabbler

Hi crossbow, which is what I call you in my mind

6:01 am

Scrabbler

Hi Sharon

6:01 am

Atalante

hi sharon

6:01 am

crosshair

crossbow?? well whatever works;))

6:02 am

Scrabbler

OK, Mr Hair.

6:02 am

crosshair

as long as the ladies are not trying to kill me,im happy

6:02 am

Scrabbler

I would never hurt you. You are a sweetheart.

6:03 am

crosshair

not well this morn..will they ever get something better than this poison to kill off the cancer scrabbler?

6:04 am

Scrabbler

Isn't it awful?! It IS a poison, a toxin. Cancer is SO evil that we must poison those rogue, nasty cells. Some cancers now are being treated with vaccines created by harvesting the patient's cancer cells then making a vaccine designed specifically for that person.

6:05 am

crosshair

i think the small anti nausea bag they give you first is just for the mind....

6:06 am

Scrabbler

Placebo, huh?

6:06 am

crosshair

has a nice red label on it that you can look at while the room spins....

6:07 am

Scrabbler

Aha, visual imagery.

6:07 am

Atalante

might as well find Johnny Walker red label

6:08 am

crosshair

and why must the damn needle they put in for this be #1 made of plastic and #2 be 1/4 in diameter? good grief!

6:08 am

crosshair

k enuff bitching time to get sum words;))

6:08 am

Scrabbler

No way, the needle isn't plastic?

6:08 am

Atalante

i think you're allowed to bitch!

6:08 am

elder

Good afternoon everyone .

6:09 am

crosshair

wish i could ata..there is a running joke for this..the cancer diet consists of all the chips you can eat;/

6:09 am

Scrabbler

Hi Elder. It is still pitch black here at 7 AM. I have to leave for work in 45 minutes.

6:10 am

Scrabbler

You mean ICE chips?

6:10 am

Atalante

*thinks* are Canadian chips like UK chips or US chips?

6:10 am

Atalante

hi elder!

6:10 am

crosshair

its like a doubble needle scrabbs..they stick you with the whole think then pull the outer sleeve off,leaving the iv needle in

6:10 am

elder

Scrabbs, did all go as well as could be expected for everyone yesterday during such a sad time.

6:10 am

Angelsong

morning, all. I have a link to baby pictures in my profile.

6:10 am

crosshair

either one ata

6:11 am

elder

Hello Angel.

6:11 am

Scrabbler

Oh, yes, Cross, the plastic catheter stays in.

6:11 am

Scrabbler

Hi Angel--I will go look.

6:11 am

Atalante

that's kinda interesting, cos the only thing I can eat while being horribly travel sick is chips. And I get *horribly* travel sick

6:11 am

crosshair

anyways must go for now..tc all and have a great day

6:11 am

crosshair

poof

6:11 am

elder

bye Cross. this grid looks tricky today.

6:12 am

elder

Ata, is that with all travelling modes.

6:13 am

Atalante

pretty much, yeah

6:13 am

Scrabbler

It is tough and I think I need to begin some words with vowels if I am to make progress.

6:13 am

elder

oh, poor you, how awful.

6:13 am

SharonRA

hard puzzle

6:13 am

elder

hello Sharon.

6:14 am

SharonRA

hi elder

6:14 am

Atalante

but! I have a solution now! We discovered that an anti-sickness drug hospitals use after operations just about manages to stop it. So now I just get drugged up for long journeys!

6:15 am

Scrabbler

Which one? Ondansetron?

6:15 am

elder

Ata, what a good solution.

6:16 am

Atalante

it's *mind goes blank* *goes to look*

6:21 am

Scrabbler

The sun is coming up--the sky is pink in the east.

6:22 am

elder

Always a good sign.Scrabbs.

6:22 am

Atalante

prochlorperazine

6:23 am

EspritdJean

well that stomach sickness you are all talking about is in the grid

6:23 am

Scrabbler

Ah, yes. That works--and is sedating too.

6:23 am

elder

Can see why you needed to have a look Ata.

6:23 am

Atalante

its wonderful stuff

6:23 am

EspritdJean

in fact it's been blurted

6:23 am

Scrabbler

OK, I need to eat something before work. I shall return later in our afternoon. Enjoy the day everyone.

6:23 am

Atalante

ddb4nana

6:38 am

elder

6:43 am

redturtlehead

I just realized your flag is Portugal! My Parents have been there twice, they even lived there for 3 months, which was quite an experience for them...

6:43 am

elder

No sugar and little cream, I like it strong.

6:44 am

redturtlehead

Coming right up. I have put it in a fiarly scary lookig Holly Hobby mug, but I think you'll like it.

6:44 am

elder

6:44 am

redturtlehead

6:45 am

elder

6:45 am

elder

I am not a great pizza fan.

6:50 am

redturtlehead

6:53 am

redturtlehead

Jean, and elder, I am laughing hearing the weather forecast, they are saying the temp is going to bottom out at like 58 degrees, what kind of world do I live in!

6:53 am

elder

the U's are not to bad.

6:54 am

elder

Red, where are you Florida?.

6:54 am

6:54 am

EspritdJean

excusing the spelling of course

6:55 am

elder

Esp. lol

6:55 am

EspritdJean

;-p

6:55 am

elder

redturtlehead

6:57 am

elder

With my sister, have been talking over the Phone about the elections and our opinions, as she lives in America and what happens in USA impacts on us here.

6:58 am

redturtlehead

Where does your sister live elder, I think you told me but I forgot...

6:58 am

elder

Colerado.

6:58 am

EspritdJean

Joe the Plumber is going to become a millionaire

6:59 am

redturtlehead

Oooh a hotly contested state!

6:59 am

elder

Esp. LOL. that creases me when I hear it.

6:59 am

redturtlehead

Jean, I just read that Joe the Plumber actually owes a bunch of back taxes....so if he isnt going to pay what does he care about rising taxes?

7:00 am

EspritdJean

it's pathetic, really

7:00 am

EspritdJean

the whole country's focus switched from the issues to Joe over night

7:00 am

EspritdJean

ge of every paper

7:00 am

EspritdJean

yes Red, I heard that too

7:00 am

elder

Umm.. yes Colorado is the most wonderful state, but its politics are sometimes .... ..

7:00 am

EspritdJean

but his appearances on the talk shows will cover it :-)

7:01 am

redturtlehead

I think the problem is that suddenly the issues are very scary, easier to focus on a plumber.

7:01 am

elder

Obama is in the lead in the polls.

7:01 am

redturtlehead

COlorado has some interesting Religious sects....

7:01 am

redturtlehead

Obama is ahead but just barely, and I hope it isnt a wierd effect.

7:02 am

redturtlehead

funny Jean!

7:03 am

elder

I do wonder if MCcain is regretting his choice of running mate.

7:03 am

EspritdJean

American politics have got to be the laughingstock of the planet

7:04 am

EspritdJean

McCain has dead-looking reptilian eyes in my opinion

7:04 am

elder

Esp, probably not, we do pretty well ourselves at times.

7:04 am

EspritdJean

I think he's a cyborg

7:04 am

redturtlehead

it is entertaining that Palin looks so much like the comedienne Tina Fey!

7:04 am

EspritdJean

Red, every time Palin opens her mouth a cartoon writes itself

7:05 am

elder

I do get concerned when I hear some of the reasons why the American people are voting for one or the other candidates.

7:05 am

redturtlehead

but you forget Jean....according to the lady on talk radio, Obama is not an American citizen...the dems apparently are hiding that.

7:05 am

elder

I don't know Tina fay.

7:05 am

EspritdJean

she is a riot Elder

7:05 am

redturtlehead

It's horrible elder, I've heard people say they don't think Baraks name is presedential enough...

7:06 am

EspritdJean

she has impersonating Palin down to a "T"

7:06 am

redturtlehead

She is Palins Lost twin.

7:06 am

Anniebrook

I saw Tina Fey impersonating Palin on Saturday Night Live and she was dead on....it was amazing

7:06 am

EspritdJean

Elder you can find it on the internet

7:06 am

oodleberry

eaus

7:06 am

redturtlehead

Good Morning Annie, Coffee?

7:07 am

EspritdJean

look under Saturday Night Live

7:07 am

elder

Stunning when you hear he ( Obama) has done this, that and the various allegations made about him and his family.

7:07 am

elder

Hello Annie.

7:07 am

elder

Ok.

7:07 am

Anniebrook

Good Morning Red, Yes, thank you! *hugs out cup*

7:07 am

Anniebrook

Hi elder

7:07 am

redturtlehead

Yes, I agree...my cousin sent my Mom an email alleging that Obama eats children!

7:08 am

EspritdJean

OMG

7:08 am

EspritdJean

I thought he was vegetarian!

7:08 am

redturtlehead

My Cousin is a bit wierd.

7:08 am

redturtlehead

LOL Jean!!!

7:08 am

elder

One woman said he was a child/ baby killer and that he was not a Christian.

7:08 am

EspritdJean

;-p

7:09 am

elder

red. lol

7:09 am

Anniebrook

there are many people who will not vote for Obama because he is african-american...damn shame

7:09 am

EspritdJean

exactly right annie

7:09 am

redturtlehead

I met Obama in NH last summer. He really impressed me.

7:09 am

EspritdJean

and he will probably need the largest secret service detail in the history of the country

7:09 am

elder

Yes, sadly I think you are correct.

7:10 am

Anniebrook

yes Jean

7:10 am

redturtlehead

Jean, several African Americans I work with are predicting his win and assassination.

7:10 am

elder

there is no doubt he can hold a crowds attention.

7:10 am

EspritdJean

Red, I think that is enough information that we can staart a rumor that you and Obama trysted in NH last summer

7:11 am

redturtlehead

LOL jean! lets not start that.

7:11 am

Anniebrook

Jean, and people will believe it and pass it on

7:11 am

EspritdJean

Never let me have any fun :-9

7:11 am

elder

That's a worry. wasn't there, a few months back a man/men arrested whilst trying to get to him to kill him.

7:12 am

Anniebrook

they are trying to destroy the minority vote by besmirching and suing Acorn

7:12 am

EspritdJean

I don't recall that elder

7:12 am

elder

and what has Acorn done, except to hang on trees.

7:13 am

EspritdJean

Acorn has done some shady things regarding voter registration elder

7:13 am

redturtlehead

I just feel McCain is such a schmuck. He graduated close to last in his class....

7:13 am

Anniebrook

LOL, elder and registering people to vote

7:13 am

elder

Esp, it was on our news..

7:13 am

redturtlehead

And Acorn has had apparently some bad behavior, but...

7:13 am

elder

Red, tell it how it is. lol

7:13 am

Anniebrook

AND Palin went to SIX colleges before she finally graduated

7:13 am

EspritdJean

I don't want to see McCain's plastic barbie doll wife as 1st lady either

7:13 am

redturtlehead

I want a smart pres....strange as that seems.

7:13 am

redturtlehead

You got the same email Annie?

7:14 am

redturtlehead

Cindy McCain appears hideous to me. Michelle Obama is so much more appealing and competent appearing.

7:14 am

Dippnall

help please! 2nd de 6/27

7:14 am

EspritdJean

but Annie, she can take down and skin a moose single handedly!

7:14 am

Anniebrook

7:14 am

elder

Esp, what State are you from.

7:15 am

EspritdJean

7:15 am

redturtlehead

Jean, how do you all feel about Obama as Senator???

7:15 am

elder

Dipp, sorry have not got that. and Hello.

7:15 am

Anniebrook

Jean, my favorite picture is of Palin and her 6 year old by the bloodied caribou she just killed....goood experience for Vice Pres

7:16 am

redturtlehead

Hi Dipp!

7:16 am

EspritdJean

Red, I can't claim to be informed on his record as a senator

7:16 am

Dippnall

7:16 am

Anniebrook

hi dipp

7:16 am

redturtlehead

He was an Illinois Senator?

7:17 am

EspritdJean

7:17 am

redturtlehead

Sorry.

7:17 am

redturtlehead

I am accustomed to thinking of him as the next President.

7:18 am

redturtlehead

I need to stop bringing up Politics, but I have to admit I am lately just fascinated so much by it.

7:18 am

elder

Taking a break. be back later.

7:18 am

redturtlehead

Soooo, off topic. Has anyone been following the mediVac chopper crashes???

7:18 am

EspritdJean

8:32 am

Anniebrook

Hazel, I am laughing hysterically

8:32 am

Haz1558

Well done FM. She's obviously trying to redeem herself from some blame.

8:32 am

Atalante

we were discussing clues

8:32 am

Haz1558

Oh. Clues. That's never been discussed before.

8:32 am

Haz1558

Do you think McCain or Obama has a stance on clues?

8:32 am

72 Temple Owl

Hello, sorry had to go and attend to cooking things in the kitchen

Atalante

8:33 am

FMitch

So glad to see you Haz I am traumatised!

8:33 am

Haz1558

Hello FM - a funny thing has happened. You're to blame for something.

8:33 am

Haz1558

I'll have to read back to see what happened. I'm steeling myself.

8:33 am

Atalante

8:33 am

FMitch

Goodness now theres a novelty!

8:34 am

72 Temple Owl

the cakes will be all gone by the time i get to the market *sob*

8:34 am

Anniebrook

Well, we can always blame FM although she was an innocent bystander

8:34 am

Haz1558

Or even worse, TO, they might be 'picked over' - my husband's favourite term of abuse when not able to get a full choice of something.

8:35 am

72 Temple Owl

btw ata it's been so long i had not seen the olde clueriousity shop before!

8:36 am

72 Temple Owl

8:36 am

Atalante

the olde clueriousity shop is fab!

8:36 am

Haz1558

When did the clueriosity shop make its first appearance, FM?

8:36 am

72 Temple Owl

i miss bj - i wonder if he still babbles?

8:36 am

Haz1558

They have coolers at the open air market? That's very high-tech. We don't get temperatures high enough to warrant that.

8:37 am

FMitch

Crumbs it must have been around a year ago

8:37 am

Haz1558

I remember its first appearance and being intrigued by the phantom jets!

8:38 am

Haz1558

I've reached the bad language part. My notebook is open....

8:38 am

72 Temple Owl

well they have something i hope. actually, one baker said they b of h won't let them take perishable baked goods.

These blessed safety people have a lot to answer for.

8:38 am

Atalante

poor Hobbit. I was out in the fields in the Cotswolds last week and we got buzzed by 2 of the Tornadoes from the local RAF station. Happens all the time. But Hobbit had never come across such a thing before. She just looked in absolute astonishment as if to say "go away! stop disturbing my walk!"

8:39 am

FMitch

To go and get your purchases done or I will have to carry the blame for eternity!

8:39 am

72 Temple Owl

LOL thanks for the gentle shove, fm! later everyone! *poof*

8:41 am

FMitch

*sits quetly munhcing on hot roast chicken waiting for Haz to finish reading the log*

8:42 am

Haz1558

I've finished reading the shocking and appalling part. FM, you were very good. You can NOT be blamed.

8:42 am

Atalante

she's always to blame!

8:43 am

Haz1558

You're beginning to sound like Madonna, saying that Guy Ritchie was nasty to her.

8:43 am

FMitch

Thank you for your considered judgement Madamme Haz

8:43 am

Atalante

poor traumatsed Madonna

8:44 am

Haz1558

Never let it be said that I am swayed by fear or favour. I'll get your cheque on Monday, FM?

8:44 am

Haz1558

I know! Who would have imagined that she was suffering so?

8:44 am

Atalante

mind you, poor Guy was suffering too. Dont' forget him

8:44 am

Haz1558

She has hidden her torment well. Like her wrinkles.

8:44 am

FMitch

Shhh, already made electronic transfer to your Swiss bank a/c

8:45 am

Atalante

can you get Botox for torment?

8:45 am

Haz1558

Oh good. I knew you could be discreet.

8:45 am

gramma

I always knew this was a source of evil! Now you've documented it.

8:45 am

Haz1558

I don't know. How has she coped all these years?

8:45 am

FMitch

none of this paypal rubbish with me ;)

8:46 am

Atalante

all these 7 years

8:46 am

Haz1558

Rubbish? Rubbish? Paypal stands second only to morewords in my estimation of electronic resources.

8:47 am

FMitch

lol

8:47 am

Haz1558

7 years - a long time to live in fear and trepidation.

8:47 am

FMitch

Hello gramma

8:47 am

Atalante

because she couldn't escape to one of their 10 houses

8:47 am

Haz1558

Hello gramma.

8:47 am

Haz1558

Well, that just shows you. A man who can't provide more than 10 houses is just cruel.

8:48 am

Atalante

do you reckon he feeds his dogs?

8:48 am

FMitch

Imagine the housework involved in 10 houses!!! Lori would faint!

8:48 am

Haz1558

Only a maccrobiotic diet.

8:49 am

Haz1558

The dogs probably refuse the stuff. What dog wants lentils for tea?

8:49 am

Atalante

not many!

8:49 am

niksforjaff

hello everyone- sounds like a lot of mayhem in the chat tonight

8:49 am

Haz1558

8:50 am

Atalante

8:50 am

Atalante

cats are not vegans. how hard is that to accept??!

8:50 am

8:50 am

niksforjaff

oh hello and this isn't nikki, its Sandy and im finishing for her

8:50 am

Darth Maul looks like someone you wouldn't want to take home to mother

9:02 am

Haz1558

He's probably got a grant from the Arts Council, you know.

9:02 am

Sandi when was that date in Oct that the aliens were due to appear?

9:02 am

niksforjaff

unless you hated your mother

9:02 am

Atalante

he's probably up for the Turner Prize

From what I can see, Darth Maul has a face that not even his mother could love.

what's the Turner Prize

9:04 am

FMitch

A prestigous Arts Award here in the UK

9:04 am

niksforjaff

I did not see a fleet of extra terrestrials - i didn't even see one

9:04 am

Atalante

for pretentious modern "artists"

9:05 am

AQUALADY

hi! please tell me how many words? tks

9:05 am

Haz1558

It's a prize for Art. It usually goes to something which makes the majority of people scratch their head and wonder where the artistry is.

9:05 am

FMitch

172 Aqua

I like contemporary art - but that is a bit much

lol Ata

9:07 am

I wonder whats on his personal parts

9:07 am

Haz1558

This year - 'Art on the move' Maybe his name is Art and he is his own inspiration.

A large pair of underpants, hopefully.

The guys who were painting my house told me they had a friend who had a blowfly tatooed on the end of his "thing"

9:08 am

I'm telling you. He'll have a blog, there'll be T-shirts and fridge magnets.

What Haz, the guy with the blowfly??

9:09 am

LOL they were such a hoot!

Sandieangel

can anyone clue the da4/9 plz? completely stuck

9:09 am

niksforjaff

I laughed for the two weeks they were there

9:10 am

Haz1558

da4/9 - a word meaning damp and nasty, usually attached to estate agents' descriptions of dungeons.

9:10 am

Haz1558

It rhymes with what the Titanic did.

9:10 am

Atalante

often containing blowflies

9:10 am

da 4/9 nikki has it it is a description of the feeling you might get in Darth .... s underpants

Haven't you eaten that cake yet kje - by the way I copied the recipe and put it in my recipe file

9:16 am

FMitch

em4/6 flightless bird with an extra vowel

9:17 am

Haz1558

But, Ata, it occurred to me that you could have a musical refinement - music! Ave Maria or something.

9:17 am

ylleria

tx, FM

9:17 am

Haz1558

And it could be adapted for brides. They could come up the aisle to one tune and down to another.

9:17 am

kje

nik - were you the person who asked me to hold it? I can't remember who asked me to leave it there so they could copy it, if it was you, then I can change!

9:17 am

Atalante

oh yes. or a picture of Mary to light up

9:17 am

FMitch

Take Hazs toy bear clue and change the last lastter for a vowel for the 4/6 and add 2 letters to pl it

9:18 am

niksforjaff

actually kje its Sandyloo Im just finishing for her

9:18 am

Atalante

who needs an orchestra when you can have a tiara?

9:18 am

Haz1558

It could be a marketing triumph.

9:18 am

Atalante

it would make millions

9:18 am

Atalante

and you could have them for dogs and cats too

9:18 am

ylleria

thanks, again, FM, much appreciated

9:19 am

OK, now confused nik... so sandy, was it you? LOL

9:19 am

Haz1558

It's a wonder nobody has thought of it before. I feel a Dragons Den appearance approaching.

9:19 am

Atalante

Duncan Ballantyne or however you spell it would go apoplectic

9:20 am

niksforjaff

it was kje, I have only ever cooked one cake so it better work

9:20 am

Haz1558

But it would make great television. And some people would think it was great.

Haz1558

Duncan Bannatyne, it is.

9:20 am

Haz1558

No! We're talking about a light up tiara.

9:20 am

Atalante

lol ballantyne is whisky, isn't it?

9:21 am

kje

well, the recipe works...every time... can not speak to your baking skills though... if you really have only baked one cake before, can post a really easy cocoa cake tomorrow if you like, that is to die for

9:21 am

niksforjaff

or a light up blowfly - I think that would be a good marketing ploy!

9:21 am

Atalante

oh yes, you could call it Chav Design

9:21 am

Haz1558

I think so. As if I would know anything about strong liquor.

9:21 am

niksforjaff

I'm trying to give Nikki a bad reputation

SpiDesign sounds great!

I need a clue for the second de6/27, please

9:24 am

Was looking at recipes for those coh cakes in a mug but the calory content is horrendous

9:24 am

9:24 am

FMitch

There is only one de6/27 phae

9:24 am

that de 6/27 was on lickety and accepted but not accepted by the babble grid (so nikki said)

so we skip it?

I want to draw something random and can't think what

9:30 am

A light up tiara? It could be the first drawing for our Dragons Den appearance.

9:31 am

Atalante

lol! you know, I might just do that!

9:31 am

Haz1558

As long as you take no suggestions from sandy..

9:31 am

Atalante

I've been *working* all week, and I need to dust off the "work" art grind, and enjoy something for today

9:32 am

nbjasmine

i take no prisoners. does that count?

9:33 am

nbjasmine

never mind.

9:36 am

nbjasmine

oops. carry on. didn't mean to kill the chat!

9:36 am

Atalante

LOL :D

9:36 am

Atalante

I'm trying to kick some words out of the grid

9:37 am

Haz1558

Have some semtex.

9:37 am

nbjasmine

oh good. no one died.

9:37 am

nbjasmine

semtex/

9:37 am

nbjasmine

?

9:37 am

Haz1558

We only 'die' for long periods when we want to ... make it appear that we are not here.

9:38 am

Atalante

ooo semtex!

9:38 am

Haz1558

Semtex - highly explosive material. Ata might do better with it with this grid than kicking.

9:38 am

nbjasmine

ah. i will get a clue and go away now.

9:39 am

Atalante

oh haz - random question - what do you think of the new film about thingamabob who starved himself to death. I can *not* think of words today! Is there much angst in NI?

9:39 am

Haz1558

It's okay - semtex was used rather a lot around here a few years ago, I tend to forget that others might not have had the same experience.

9:39 am

Haz1558

Bobby Sands?

9:40 am

Haz1558

I didn't even know that a new film had been released, so maybe that answers your question!

9:41 am

Haz1558

Quite a cruel wall slogan appeared in loyalist areas after Bobby Sands died 'We'll never forget you, Jimmy Sands'

9:41 am

Atalante

lol! yes, I think so! it had it's premiere last night I think

9:41 am

Atalante

ouch

9:42 am

Haz1558

I know. We have quite a black sense of humour (on both sides) but it probably has helped to get us through.

9:43 am

Atalante

absolutely. humour is necessary when things get worse and worse

9:43 am

Atalante

it' meant to be a pretty good film, actually

9:43 am

Haz1558

So, is it based on Bobby Sands?

9:44 am

Haz1558

Most films feature people with dreadful Northern Ireland accents.

9:44 am

Atalante

yep: http://tinyurl.com/5nj6t3

9:44 am

Haz1558

If they'd just use Liam Neeson, they'd be half-way to success.

9:44 am

Atalante

the accents provide the humour

9:46 am

elder

Good afternoon everyone.

9:46 am

Haz1558

Hello elder!

9:47 am

Atalante

hi elder!

9:47 am

Haz1558

Just read the piece, Atalante. Both sides are unhappy, so it probably means that the film is okay.

9:47 am

onyx

morning babblers!

9:47 am

Haz1558

Good morning onyx.

9:48 am

Atalante

I don't know if that's a good review, it was just the first I found, but yes, I think everyone's equally grumbly, so it sounds quite interesting

9:48 am

elder

Bobby Sands, crikey I hope they get it right. Who is making the film.

9:48 am

Atalante

it's interesting for me, cos I'm just a bit too young to actually remember these events. The concept of starving yourself to death just seems so horrific, I can't easily see what could lead to that

9:48 am

elder

forget what I just wrote.

9:48 am

Haz1558

The problem is that it will be told from one perspective. Those with a different viewpoint won't accept that there was an alternative view and will just want THEIR side put across.

9:49 am

elder

Quite.

9:49 am

Atalante

apparently this film doesn't deal with the politics. um, how?

9:49 am

elder

I remember it well and all the horrid things that were actioned.

9:50 am

elder

Pointless then.

9:50 am

Haz1558

It'll probably be told from the psychological point of view, but since he was in Long Kesh for political reasons, it'll have to be touched on.

9:51 am

Atalante

I think I'd quite like to see it at some point

9:51 am

Haz1558

I lived through the whole thing, though obviously not at the centre of the action. I was only 11 when the whole thing started and I remember feeling guilty because, as a child, I used to think 'Nothing exciting ever happens here.'

9:51 am

elder

Bringing memories and not all bad.

9:51 am

dan2bit

yay! found the 8 on my own

9:51 am

elder

Intriguing..

9:51 am

Atalante

lol be careful what you wish for cos it might just come true ...

9:52 am

elder

Oh, Haz * hugs *

9:52 am

Atalante

My husband lived on Murder Mile while he was at uni. Insane man

9:52 am

Haz1558

It has been a long haul to get to where we are today. I still find some aspects of the peace process hard to swallow.

9:53 am

Haz1558

Maybe that explains a lot, Ata. He could sue.

9:53 am

Atalante

is there anyone in NI that hasn't had to compromise over the peace processes?

9:54 am

Atalante

lol I was in junior school when he went to uni

9:54 am

Haz1558

Everybody has had to. Republicans haven't got their ultimate goal.

9:54 am

Haz1558

Loyalists have had to accept an Irish dimension.

9:54 am

elder

the many women also, for their marches of peace.

9:54 am

Haz1558

Neither side is completely happy. The law-abiding majority just have to deal with being pawns in a bigger political game.

9:56 am

Atalante

I can see it more now, but when I was growing up I could never understand how people like Gerry Adams could be lauded for being peaceful and in charge when they used to kill people. Wonderful childhood simplicity

9:56 am

elder

Sadly Haz, I that is true for most of the population there and here.

9:57 am

Haz1558

I know, elder.

9:57 am

Haz1558

One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter.

9:57 am

elder

Many years ago I worked in Northern Ireland, with youngsters from both sides.

9:57 am

mom2han8

OMG... this grid is a nightmare, LOL!

9:57 am

mom2han8

Haz... that is true!

9:57 am

Atalante

yeah ... it's such a - an impossible concept

9:58 am

Haz1558

The trick is in getting people to think that the past has to be forgotten, or at least viewed through different eyes.

9:58 am

Haz1558

And mom2 - what you said about the grid is true!

9:58 am

Haz1558

To think this all started with semtex...

9:58 am

Atalante

when most of them don't want to see differently

9:58 am

Haz1558

elder, when were you in NI?

9:59 am

elder

yes, I remember thinking that when Margaret Thatcher was heralding the leader of the Polish union Party at a time when she was destroying ours.

9:59 am

Atalante

lol yes sorry for dragging everyone off into deep and meaningfulness!

9:59 am

mom2han8

Forgeetting history is probably not the best advice.... LOL!

9:59 am

Haz1558

Oh, absolutely, Ata. It takes an act of will to see things from another's point of view. Seeing another's point of view doesn't mean that you have to agree.

10:00 am

elder

I was in NI the late 80's not at the worst time but scary a times with all the no go areas that we had to go into.

10:00 am

Haz1558

I love history - but you have to be careful about knowing what is history and what is progaganda.

10:01 am

Haz1558

How interesting! I think the 70s were definitely the worst times.

10:01 am

elder

Oh yes they were..

10:01 am

Haz1558

Having said that, it's amazing how you take things for granted. Our freedom to move around was restricted but you just adapt.

10:02 am

mom2han8

The problem is that everyone has an agenda, which skewers their point of view, i.e., someone might want to vote for, say, Obama, but then it is put forth that if you are a small business owner you will suffer under Obama... historically small businesses have done better under democrats, but, if you believe the other side, then your personal agenda as a small business person outweighs the fact that he might actually be the best candidate for the COUNTRY...

10:02 am

onyx

I have been "listening to your conversation, it is like living history for those of us that only read about it in the papers. Keep talking, keep educating the rest of us. Although i have n't been able to do the puzzle

10:03 am

Atalante

lol onyx, I havent' even looked at the grid for ages!

10:03 am

mom2han8

The conversation is more interesting and less frustrating than the puzzle.. LOL

10:03 am

elder

On a lighter note, also had the most amazing times and laughter, there and the scenes were beautiful.

10:03 am

Atalante

I think the only time the troubles actually affected me was one day I was in London when some of the big nail bombs exploded there. That was quite surreal being rushed home and seeing my mother scared for the first time ever

10:04 am

Haz1558

That's what used to be so frustrating. The country is beautiful and yet it was depicted as burning buildings and people shooting at each other.

10:04 am

onyx

Didn't some one say that war brings out the best and the worst of humanity?

10:04 am

Atalante

it's the same in South Africa. All you'd see on the news for years was Soweto

10:04 am

Haz1558

That was true for a minority of people. The rest of the time, life was pretty normal - or as normal as it could be.

10:05 am

Haz1558

That's true, Ata. It's why I always watch news reports with the feeling that we're only seeing a small element of the truth.

10:06 am

Atalante

absolutely

10:06 am

elder

Haz, there those of us who knew better.I still hold dear the country and its people. Even before the peace agreements, I used to suggest to people to go on holiday there.

10:06 am

Haz1558

For instance, in the late seventies large parts of Belfast were cleared so that a new road could be put through. Those cleared houses were often used as examples of how people were suffering because of the troubles!

10:07 am

Haz1558

Good for you, elder - keep telling them because we love visitors - everybody remarks on our welcomes!

10:08 am

Atalante

and my aunt's maid (yeah, well, it happened) in Cape town lived in this shanty town which was always on the news seeing how awful life was etc etc. Yes, it certainly wasn't nice in any way, but you went into her house, and she had a microwave, tv, video recorder, you name it, they had it!

10:08 am

onyx

this grid is HORRIBLE

10:08 am

Haz1558

Did they have light up tiaras, though?

10:09 am

onyx

ooh i got the 8 all by myself too

10:09 am

elder

I do and will continue to so, it is great for all ages so much to do and see.

10:09 am

Haz1558

It is, onyx. That's why we're chatting, to try and blot it out!

10:09 am

Atalante

probably!!

10:11 am

Okay. The evil dog owner is going to take the raw-hide bone from the dog (bought for her dental health, nothing to do with her enjoyment) and take her for a walk. Again, she'll hate it, but I need a break!

11:12 am

un 7 -- another form of un 8

11:12 am

periwinkle

found a me6/27, not sure how to make it me7

11:12 am

periwinkle

thanks nan

11:13 am

Atalante

cat noise is me6

11:13 am

JBV

me 7/36 is plural of 6/24 and..

11:13 am

Atalante

the me7 is a combo with another word

11:13 am

JBV

me 6/27 is past tense of me 4/6

11:13 am

cybernan

there is a me 6-7 combo -- sounds something like a CA county

11:14 am

periwinkle

don't have the right me6 then

11:14 am

JBV

dan2 bit clued it earlier - yesterday we had mecca, today it's me 6/24

11:14 am

cybernan

me + D. Martin's nickname -- change last vowel

11:15 am

periwinkle

thanks for me7, never would have found it

11:15 am

periwinkle

11:16 am

11:20 am

Haz1558

That's probably one of the few words that people DON'T need clues for, datrob.

11:22 am

72 Temple Owl

this grid needs another n and another s at the top

11:22 am

Haz1558

You're back! Did you get your cake?

11:22 am

72 Temple Owl

uh...er....

11:23 am

72 Temple Owl

i am going the martyr route.

11:23 am

Haz1558

You're wearing sackcloth and ashes to the market?

11:23 am

Haz1558

You're making the cake yourself?

11:24 am

72 Temple Owl

yep. but i did do towo loads of wash and wash and dry my hair. gong to pay bills next

11:24 am

72 Temple Owl

and take a keyborading class :/

11:24 am

Haz1558

Are you trying to make the rest of us feel guilty?

11:25 am

72 Temple Owl

no, not at all! if you swa this palce you'd see it's a matter of survival

11:26 am

Haz1558

What do you mean, if I saw? You haven't spotted the hidden cctv?

11:26 am

72 Temple Owl

WHAT!

11:27 am

Haz1558

Oh good. Those men meant it when they said they were good at covert operations.

11:27 am

72 Temple Owl

well goood thing i did just take the half inch of dust from the baseboard heat in this room :D

11:28 am

Haz1558

Yes - dust isn't known as the root of all evil for nothing.

11:28 am

72 Temple Owl

i truly believe it is. think of all those horrible looking mites.

11:29 am

datrob1234

nide*

11:29 am

Haz1558

I know! Millions of them.

11:29 am

72 Temple Owl

all those teeny tiny compound eyes...

11:30 am

Haz1558

Sto* doin* tha*, datro*. It's not necessary.

11:30 am

Haz1558

And you thought cctv was all-seeing....

11:30 am

datrob1234

fine its nided

11:30 am

72 Temple Owl

rofl

11:31 am

Haz1558

Maybe you don't realise that we don't want words posted in the grid. We want to find them by ourselves, thanks.

11:31 am

datrob1234

Fine . Shuting up

11:31 am

datrob1234

Fine . Shuting up

11:35 am

72 Temple Owl

*sigh* i think it's list time. this grid has all the proper latters, they are just in suboptimum positions

11:36 am

Haz1558

If it's any comfort, I hit the list much earlier than usual. The highest proportion of unusual words I think I've ever seen.

11:37 am

Atalante

is 28 to go good going sans list?

11:37 am

Haz1558

It's worthy of HUGE quantities of smug.

11:37 am

72 Temple Owl

well gee thanks, ata. now i must wait until i get to 28. not that im competitive or anything.

11:38 am

Atalante

loool sorry TO!

11:38 am

Atalante

ok *smug*!

11:38 am

Haz1558

Never listen to her TO. Think of your sanity.

11:38 am

72 Temple Owl

ata" i'll see your smug and raise you a crow

11:38 am

72 Temple Owl

or a strut

11:39 am

72 Temple Owl

although it's hard to strut and type at the same time. lord knows i have enought trouble typing as it is.

11:40 am

Haz1558

Haven't you got handles round your laptop? A bit like what cinema usherettes used to have for selling ice-cream.

11:40 am

72 Temple Owl

hmmmm..8considers the possibilities*

11:41 am

Pinikula

if it's any consolation, I think I listed at 28...

11:41 am

Pinikula

...ok...actually at 50...but this grid is tough!

11:41 am

Haz1558

You could exercise and babble, walk and babble, and when you're feeling triumphant, strut and babble.

11:41 am

72 Temple Owl

which means i need 7 more

11:42 am

72 Temple Owl

i kep seeing duodenal

11:42 am

Atalante

gah! now I most beat pini :P

11:42 am

Atalante

oh. ok. *still smug*

11:42 am

Pinikula

I have 64 now...not through the list, but through hints in the chog

11:42 am

Haz1558

Ata - she meant she used the list when she had found 28 words.

11:42 am

Pinikula

I think there are just tooooo many vowels!!!

11:43 am

Haz1558

I must switch on the universal translator, Ata's mind is going.

11:43 am

Pinikula

No, I really listed at 50 (that was my goal)...I only said 28 becuase someone got that far before going to list?

11:43 am

72 Temple Owl

you haven't been smugged till you;ve been smugged by ata

11:44 am

Pinikula

er...I mean...someone had 28 LEFT to find before going to list...

11:44 am

Pinikula

....or maybe I need glasses to read better.

11:44 am

Haz1558

Some people may not have used the list at all.

11:44 am

Pinikula

* sigh *

11:44 am

Atalante

*gasp*!

11:44 am

Haz1558

They have huge dictionary shaped heads.

11:45 am

Pinikula

that didn't help Haz

11:45 am

72 Temple Owl

haz i do NOT LOL

11:45 am

Haz1558

It didn't?

11:45 am

Haz1558

I thought it would spur you on to some day be like them.

11:45 am

72 Temple Owl

but i think i did read it when i was young. of course it had a lot fewer words then.

11:46 am

Atalante

did sprite use the list?

11:46 am

Haz1558

I don't know.

11:46 am

72 Temple Owl

plesae tell me - how did they do it on the days there was no list?

11:47 am

72 Temple Owl

i mean, there were people who did in the ancient days.

11:47 am

Haz1558

There was a much lower expectation of finishing in the old days pre-list.

11:48 am

Atalante

but we all tended to work together

11:48 am

72 Temple Owl

absolutely. *zips it before the word clues comes out*

11:48 am

Haz1558

And they were all geniuses then.

11:48 am

72 Temple Owl

the revered elders lol

11:49 am

Pinikula

I'm too young for the "old days"

11:49 am

Pinikula

11:49 am

Haz1558

Clues? I predict a record turn out of the Cue Clue Clan with this one. Thank heavens I won't be around.

11:49 am

72 Temple Owl

good point - i think it's list time after all ;)

11:50 am

Haz1558

Speeding up so as to avoid them? You know it makes sense.

11:51 am

Pinikula

Good thinking!

11:51 am

72 Temple Owl

yes. i will be spenidng my sat night baking

11:51 am

Haz1558

12:24 pm

Atalante

and you'll get perfectly better, hopefully soon!

12:24 pm

Atalante

and after a while,they will encourage you to get out and about, you'll run again soon enough :D

12:24 pm

phandmd

indeed. I am more than 1/2 way now, and I am attempting to make apple sauce while sitting down and need to get back to it...

12:25 pm

Atalante

12:25 pm

72 Temple Owl

12:25 pm

phandmd

I am a little concerned though, because 2 years ago I tried to take up running and just when I was starting to like it, I got a stress fracture in my ankle!

12:25 pm

Atalante

oh nooo!

12:26 pm

phandmd

So, I had a bone scan to check my bones in general. I am not a spring chicken anymore, so, I need to take care of myself

12:26 pm

Atalante

absolutely

12:26 pm

lynxxx

12:26 pm

12:26 pm

phandmd

12:34 pm

MonkeyGames

Hey Pink, are you where you can copy/paste?

12:35 pm

Pinikula

yes

12:35 pm

MonkeyGames

OK, so, get a package of spring roll wrappers. Then get some ground chicken or pork, maybe about 6 cups.

12:35 pm

Pinikula

oh oh...let me open word... ;)

12:35 pm

MonkeyGames

Let that sit in some soy sauce while you do the following:

12:35 pm

kn4.8 rhymes with wha you drive ku4.9 rhymes with what is asked for here

12:36 pm

MonkeyGames

Stir fry about a cup or so grated carrots.

12:37 pm

Put a can or two water chestnuts through a chopper and set aside. Set the carrots aside. Hi Stid! Have owed Pink this recipe for Years!

12:37 pm

Pinikula

You're too funny, stid!!!

12:37 pm

stidmama

May I post the recipe on BabAnon when you are done?

12:38 pm

MonkeyGames

Get some water boiling and put into it about a large handful mung bean glass noodles. Wait three minutes and drain. Chop about a cup of cilantro.

12:38 pm

Pinikula

*** I'm a cuttin' and pastin' as she posts! *** can't wait to try them!

12:38 pm

lynxxx

k4.8 is dble vowel and a plural word

12:39 pm

aknitter

does this mean we can not steal the recipe?

12:39 pm

MonkeyGames

Of course! It is my own recipe based on years of trial and error. Where am I? OK, if desired soak and thinly slice a dozen or so dried shitake's, and stir fry until brownish on at least one side.

12:39 pm

Pinikula

ths agin lynxxx

Use at will! Use at will! If your restaurant gets famous with it I want kickbacks.

12:39 pm

what is this recipe for?

12:39 pm

Pinikula

Lumpia!

12:40 pm

MonkeyGames

Set all this aside...

12:40 pm

lil*monkey

ooooh i luv lumpia

12:40 pm

Atalante

what's lumpia?

12:40 pm

MonkeyGames

Get about 2 cups bean sprouts and set aside (do not cook).

12:40 pm

Pinikula

Me too...haven't had it in years!!!

12:40 pm

lil*monkey

lumpia are philippine eggrolls

12:40 pm

Atalante

ooooo

12:40 pm

aknitter

monkey type faster

12:41 pm

Pinikula

It's a Philoppino "egg roll"

12:41 pm

Pinikula

(sorry for the misspelling)

12:41 pm

MonkeyGames

OK... that should be all the basics. Now you have all these bowls of stuff sitting around. Stir fry the chicken (ground, remember) or pork until well cooked. Splash with rice wine. Then add back to it all the other things, a couple of tablespoons of oyster sauce, around a tablespoon of sesame oil. These are the Vietnamese style ones.

12:42 pm

MonkeyGames

Once everything is well mixed put it in a collander or similar over a big bowl and chill and drain simultaneously. If it isn't cold when you wrap the wrappers will deform.

12:42 pm

aknitter

gag oyster sauce -- leaving that out

12:43 pm

lil*monkey

oh i agree , knitty... oyster sauce is like snot

12:43 pm

aknitter

not ever having tried snot i will take your word for that one monkey

12:43 pm

lil*monkey

i mean it LOOKS like snot

12:44 pm

MonkeyGames

You do not notice the opyster sauce in the finished product. But as I said this is MY recipe, so YOURS can be as you like. Try a tablespoon Superior Dark Soy instead if you like. You can add chilis or whatever at will. Chopped cashews are a good substitute for the water chesnuts if necessary.

12:44 pm

aknitter

mental note to omit snot

12:45 pm

stidmama

Monkey, you are making me so hungry!

12:45 pm

Atalante

*I* like oyster sauce. Mine doesn't look like snot!

12:45 pm

Scrabbler

Hello all. I am awaiting the arrival of a friend. We will walk to the park on this glorious, sunny autumn day.

12:45 pm

MonkeyGames

OK, so now it's chilled and your wrappers are thawed. Place a wrapper on a plate. Have a small bowl of water handy. Put a line of filling across the wrapper corner to corner, leaving some space at the ends. Fols the ends over the filling, the points I mean. Lots of filling should still be visible.

12:45 pm

MonkeyGames

Hi Scrabbs.

12:45 pm

lynxxx

hi Scrabs

12:45 pm

stid all this talk of snot is making you hungry? how odd

12:46 pm

hello dear cousin! It is about as lovely as it gets here in western WA too.... it's NOT raining!

12:46 pm

Scrabbler

Brilliant observation, red. I see nothing.

12:46 pm

stidmama

knitter, I have spent my week in microbiology lab looking at E. coli and fungus roots. SNOT is an improvement!

12:46 pm

MonkeyGames

Now take one edge of the wrap and fold it verteh filling. This should leave a reasonable amount of the other side of the wrapper outlining the side you just folded up.

12:46 pm

Atalante

there is nothing in the grid!

12:46 pm

Scrabbler

It was SNOWING at 8 AM!

12:46 pm

One part soy sauce. One half part Chinkiang vinegar ideally, otherwise regular Chinese rice vinegar. Six or eight parts Thai or other sweet chili sauce.

12:48 pm

stidmama

12:51 pm

I think Monkey may be teasing...

12:51 pm

I have a spaghetti squash if anyone has any ideas on how to cook it?

12:51 pm

Scrabbler

Finland and Sweden and Norway have very high qualities of living.

12:51 pm

Pini, I think you just split it and cook it.

12:51 pm

Glad Sam is improving some. It just takes longer to recover at that age. I will keep him on my "list" Monkey. :-)

12:51 pm

OK, off to watch film. Have fun everyone!

Bake or roast it, Pini.

1:49 pm

MonkeyGames

Hi again. Probably briefly. DVD player finally gave up the ghost mid film. Been lurking +/- a minute. As to clueing, well, I used "Do ******** Dream of Electric Sheep" the other day so I guess I'm in the "obscure reference" group?

1:50 pm

lil*monkey

1:50 pm

MonkeyGames

OK, now I AM going again... we have some recorded documentaries. Away with me.

1:50 pm

lil*monkey

1:54 pm

dcseain

lil*monkey

i search the chat that's here on the screen, but i don't go back and search the entire chat archive

1:55 pm

1:55 pm

lil*monkey

2:54 pm

Kazozz

hullow jes lol

2:55 pm

sprite

I didn't think today's grid was that bad, actually. Even the Ks were doable.

2:55 pm

Kazozz

i'm not liking it one bit sprite lol

2:55 pm

Kazozz

had to go to the list at 60 words found

2:55 pm

DR1965

its an ok grid...

2:56 pm

Kathihle

sprite> ja, no problem if you're used to making up words as you go along

2:56 pm

DR1965

too many d's

2:56 pm

sprite

well, I have done grids that everybody said were easy and that made me headbang the walls and climb the curtains, so I guess it is a personal thing. I am used to vowel combinations, which helps in this grid. Dutch is full of vowel combinations.

2:57 pm

DR1965

true Sprite- it probably personal preference

2:57 pm

sprite

making up words is mandatory when playing babble Kathihle. Often words you make up are even valid.

2:57 pm

Kazozz

this is definitely a headbanger for me..but it could be coz the meds have addled my brain this weekend lol

2:57 pm

Pinikula

I still think there are not enough vowels! LOL

2:58 pm

redturtlehead

sprite this grid has been a tooth puller for me.

2:58 pm

Kazozz

lol pini

2:58 pm

Kathihle

Pini> There are plenty of vowels, but they're misplaced

2:58 pm

sprite

Pugmama: you could say look at that es*** go and mean a snail you can eat.

2:59 pm

sprite

and the es5 contains my most beloved letter

2:59 pm

Kazozz

es and word that ryhmes with something you might drive

2:59 pm

DR1965

lol Sprite!

2:59 pm

Kathihle

4:13 pm

Miss B probably goes upstairs and opens the gate herself to hang out with the boys while you are at work ;-p

4:14 pm

4:14 pm

4:14 pm

Scrabbler

I hope not! And I have 2 gates at Tucker's doorway because he escaped in the summer, came down here and there was a fur tornado. It took 2 months for Miss B's wound to heal.

4:15 pm

4:17 pm

dcseain

4:17 pm

Scrabbler

Yes, Tucker is solid muscle.

4:17 pm

9:15 pm

MetFan

Miss Pug and I have been major boggle fiends (the physical game, not online) for 30 years

9:16 pm

Nef

I've never seen so many words starting with "U" here before

9:16 pm

Minveryork

I am here to give clues until flip time if you need Nef.

9:16 pm

MetFan

Hi Min. I'm doing well again (I've updated my info recently again)

9:17 pm

MetFan

20 to go, dearrrrr....

9:17 pm

Nef

I could use help with all of the U words if anyone wants to help

9:17 pm

pugmama763

go Metster go!!!

9:18 pm

MetFan

While we're at it, how about a clue, please, for the sa6/18??

9:18 pm

pugmama763

ALL of them????

9:18 pm

Nef

WTG, Mets!

9:18 pm

Minveryork

uk 5/20 word is uk + last 3 letters of la 4/4 word Nef.

9:18 pm

MetFan

Hey Nef

9:18 pm

pugmama763

sa6---sounds like stuff used for lenses with diff last vowel Mety

9:19 pm

MetFan

TANKS< Miss Pug!!

9:19 pm

Nef

sure, pugmama; why not? :D Any word --well, I did get the us and 1 ul word

9:20 pm

Minveryork

ul 4/5 is ul plus indefinite article. ul4/5 is anagram of first ul 4/5. ul5/14 is ul plus Mr. Quayle backward. ul 5/12 is latin plural of the ul4/5 word. ul5/12 is ul 4/5 plus hook letter.ul5/12 is regular plural of ul4/5 word

9:20 pm

MetFan

I went to school with someone with that last name exactly!!!

9:22 pm

Minveryork

un 4/6 is un plus two more vowels. un 6/24 is un plus la 4/5 word & un 7/40 is past tense. un 6/24 is what you do w/dryer when clothes are dried & past tense.

9:22 pm

Minveryork

And the last u word, us4/6 is past tense of utilize Nef

9:22 pm

Nef

I'm going to have to look these words up in a dictionary! Good Grief! I don't know what they mean even (and I thought I was literate!)

9:23 pm

Minveryork

When it comes to babble, I believe that the literate become illiterate.

9:23 pm

Nef

Thanks Min. I owe you a few now! :D

9:24 pm

pugmama763

the why not is that while I'll happily clue requests I believe "bulk cluing " is spoon feeding ....not trying to offend you , just explaining.Luckily for you Min doesn't mind!

9:24 pm

Minveryork

Actually,I'm done. That is why I was able to clue them

9:26 pm

Nef

Pugmama, I appreciate what you are saying and have said the same in the past myself. I just want to finish a grid again to raise my stats so I'm back on all 3 stats columns again (purely selfish, I know)

9:26 pm

FunGuy

I like to clue words that don't exist in the puzzle

9:27 pm

pugmama763

i don't fret over the stats thing but I only "compete" with myself so to speak....

9:27 pm

Nef

I've been playing Babble for several years but this past year has been tough and I'm trying to get back to some sort of *normal* again. Finishing this grid would feel good for a change

9:28 pm

pugmama763

'tis an insatiable addiction once hooked....

9:28 pm

Minveryork

LOL FunGuy!

9:28 pm

Minveryork

Now I know why your name is FunGuy!

9:59 pm

lbdawger

it's been weird weather all year. the west side should have had at least a skif of snow, and we haven't. the east side should be getting the rain.

9:59 pm

Nef
