fruittart

12:31 am

stidmama

I think kje, that it's not just about being prepared, there is also a need for people who can a) think on their feet and b) pull things together in less than optimal conditions. I believe you will do fine.

12:31 am

stidmama

go ruru go!

12:34 am

flosey

I did notice them stid, nice, but yes, noticed the sweater

12:34 am

stidmama

thanks kje -- they are not frameless, but very thin frames. pretty detail on the side though.

12:35 am

kje

12:35 am

stidmama

*grin* I LOVE my green sweater. normally only wear it in the spring, but the gray weather was getting to me.

12:35 am

rururocks

I am thinking about shaving my head...

12:35 am

stidmama

hold on...

12:35 am

kje

yes, ru...men generally do that as they go bald

12:35 am

stidmama

ruru, that would be okay with me, since I don't remember what you look like WITH hair! or hats, or ...

12:35 am

stidmama

I don't know, sophie -- it's just a clue -- the icon theme today is a word from the grid which will be a clue. If you click on the icons (pictures) you will see various bits of information about the babbler whose icon it is

2:57 am

MayneGuy

hi everyone. i'm having trouble finishing this one.

hello sprite :)

3:03 am

sprite

hi all, have been babbling a little while already but with chat hidden. Am working on your clue, jilli :)

3:03 am

jillibus

and I just saw your clue, sprite -- no idea!

3:05 am

lynxxx

lol - I thought pie charts but then realised what is was when I checked my n words

3:05 am

jillibus

got it, sprite -- thanks!

3:06 am

sprite

lol I realised it wouldn't be an easy clue, just because it is so very literal. But it struck me as funny.

3:07 am

jillibus

very clever icon, sprite!

3:08 am

sprite

it is a word I have trouble spotting, anyway.

3:09 am

jillibus

not surprising in this grid particularly!

3:11 am

jillibus

I must go to bed -- only 61 words and not seeing anything else

3:11 am

sprite

ah found your clue with the help of an online dictionary, jilli! I knew what it meant but I didn't know the word. Do now :)

3:11 am

lynxxx

Goodnite Jilli

3:11 am

sprite

sleep well, jilli, and dream even better *hug*

3:12 am

MayneGuy

jilli, i've looking for a word for an hour. then i figured out your clue, knowing that your french is very strong.

3:12 am

jillibus

that's great, sprite! I realise a lot of people don't know French but they do know how to find things online. Flosey used a print French-English dictionary.

3:13 am

jillibus

good, MGuy -- my French is limited but that's one which cropped up in the dog-breeding game, lol!

3:13 am

sprite

I would have done that if I had owned one. Time to polish up my knowledge of french, it seems, lol. Thanks a lot, wouldn't have found it without help.

3:14 am

MayneGuy

thanks jilli, that's fireworks, and i'm off to bed. poof.

3:14 am

sprite

wtg MGuy and sleep well

3:14 am

lynxxx

Congrats mayne...bye

3:14 am

jillibus

WOW, MGuy!!! Well done!

3:16 am

jillibus

I believe the Spanish for the condition is "embarrasado" or something -- was warned not to use the word for what it means in Englich, lol!

3:17 am

sprite

oh! That is quite a different meaning from what one would expect, lol!

3:18 am

jillibus

Well, happly babbling all who remain -- nighty night!

3:47 am

mrpresident

3:48 am

mrpresident

we are watching Firefly... have you been able to get your hands on a copy sprite?

3:49 am

3:49 am

mrpresident

3:49 am

sprite

:) It is the only one of that list that I ever use, lol.

3:50 am

mrpresident

this grid has some tricky stuff... but will leave it till tomorrow

3:50 am

sprite

and when it is really bad I tell them they get another 15 minutes to find a solution they are happy with, or I will find one and nobody will be happy with it ;)

3:51 am

mrpresident

indeed sprite... and if mother isn't happy, ain't nobody happy

3:52 am

sprite

ok, I will take my leave th4 and get some housework done. And I will not complain about it. Bless my toilet pots. Bless my washing machine and laundry.

3:52 am

mrpresident

poor girl! take it easy

3:52 am

sprite

where did I read recently... BabbleRabble's profile? Not certain. "The best thing a father can do for his children is love their mother"

3:52 am

mrpresident

I like that! and how true!

3:53 am

5:35 am

I did see your kitty pics Cliff. This kitty is nutty. He was jumping on walls and then when we got him he came straight to us and sat on my shoulder like a stoull

5:38 am

Merk

If you're on Facebook, be aware that a fast-spreading worm called Koobface is targeting users and trying to steal personal information such as credit card details.

5:39 am

herinfernallady

Merk I am very carful

5:39 am

Merk

The Koobface worm sends a message to the Facebook user, supposedly from a friend, that says things like "you look funny in this new video" or "is it u there?"

5:40 am

herinfernallady

I never open those

5:40 am

Merk

To be forewarned is to be forearmed. After clicking on the video link, the user is asked to download the latest version of Adobe Flash Player. Only after the user clicks on the fraudulent Flash update is the Koobface worm installed.

5:41 am

cliffopa

if only those people who write viruses would use their talents for good instead of evil.

5:41 am

Merk

This malware can quickly seize credit card details in two ways - either by waiting for the user to buy something online and remembering the details, or by searching the computer for cookies from past online purchases.

5:44 am

herinfernallady

I would like anyone to try and do that I have a separate credit card for the purchase of internet stuff and never do net banking

5:44 am

Merk

This grid is slow for me this morning.

Thank you. The good side is that she never had any pain. But the thing was growing so fast there was no other choice-- she was losing weight and didn't want to go out anymore, and then there was a complication with the biopsy site due to it being over a cyst-- there was no other choice.

6:16 am

MonkeyGames

Yes, it was what we had to do. We didn't want her to start suffering and it was imminent. Walter is handling it OK but he misses her, and I brought her body home for a day so that the dog could know what was happening and will not look for her all over the place for weeks.

6:17 am

hey kris--don't stop him, I'm on a roll! :o)

I mean I thought about them and their loss too but never knew that would help them to understand.

6:20 am

MonkeyGames

Thank you.

6:21 am

MonkeyGames

Yes, it really takes away the mystery for them. Saskia (the dog) just went over and sniffed her and made her uncertain whine, then stood there looking at her for a long time, then went and lay on her bed and looked sad. She is not looking for SCSI at all, but she does stop and stand looking at her favoprite places and sighing. So do I.

6:58 am

jorjahgal

did the 9 get clued yet?

7:00 am

jorjahgal

I have often wondered about that for when we pay our house off.... should you not keep an equity loan so that when you have to make a big purchase it can be counted on taxes... Our house pmt is the only tax break we get

7:00 am

crosshair

mm good thought jorja

7:00 am

herinfernallady

ar so many conversations im confused

7:01 am

NonnieLight

an equity line of credit?

7:02 am

NonoNanette

does an equity loan count the same as mortgage when it comes to tax breaks

7:02 am

jorjahgal

taxes eat us up... my hubby works his butt off at a paper mill, and yeah makes good money BUT we also have three kids in college and they don't qualify for grants because he makes too much, yet we struggle to pay tuition for 3 kids and books... OUTRAGEOUS..

7:02 am

crosshair

even so id feel better with all loans finished off

7:02 am

jorjahgal

I believe so Nono

7:02 am

7:03 am

72 Temple Owl

sorry hi all

7:03 am

herinfernallady

We have 2 loans the car and the pcs

7:03 am

NonnieLight

I think so, nono but not sure. If it is an old loan, the interest rate is probably a lot higher than what they are offering now. I would at least refinance and get the lower rate. A local bank offered to refinance an equity line of credit for a friend of mine at no cost!

7:03 am

NonoNanette

my only loan right now is the car which will be paid off in another 2 months! YIPEEEE

7:03 am

crosshair

mm see/ all kinds of good info:))))

7:04 am

carleekat

urg..we So in debt..but fortunately we are in an open variable rate fixed payemnt mortgage that I can opt to lock in anytime....we have paid off a HUGE ammount of principal that way this year

7:04 am

NonnieLight

go nono go! That is wonderful!

7:04 am

herinfernallady

There is a great book i saw um how do i do this. Its mainly for the states

7:04 am

crosshair

my five year lease is up and im into the buy back this may;((((

7:04 am

jorjahgal

that is great Nono..I can't wait for those days

7:05 am

NonoNanette

Crossy do you feel that the lease was the right way to go?

7:05 am

NonnieLight

rates are very low right now carlee...keep an eye out and you may want to lock in before they start to climb again.

7:06 am

crosshair

definatly..you wait for the dealer specials,the total cost of this particular lease over 5 years was only $768.00

7:06 am

jorjahgal

hey let me ask ya'lls opinion on something... how long does it take to build credit back up? Our score dropped this past year because honestly there were months upon months that it was pay something on time or be able to stay with my mom in the hospital...I chose my mom

7:06 am

crosshair

on a $19,000 dollar car

7:06 am

carleekat

they won't for a while nonnie....but yea we watching

7:06 am

crosshair

credit bounce back can take 5 years

7:07 am

herinfernallady

http://tinyurl.com/8jz87k here and
http://tinyurl.com/6wf5ex THIS stuff is mostly state side

7:07 am

NonoNanette

jorjah it will take a while but keep paying everything on time again and it will rebuild

7:07 am

crosshair

they look at long curve payments

7:08 am

herinfernallady

I downloaded the free book as the priniciples seem the same

7:08 am

jorjahgal

thanks.... and even tho' it hurt us.... I don't regret the decisions one bit...sometimes bad things happen to good people and you have to do what you have to

7:08 am

NonnieLight

jorj, get everything off of your rating that you have paid off but are still opened. They look at that as potential loans or whatever. In otherwords, close everything out.

7:09 am

crosshair

nonnie is right

7:09 am

crosshair

its amazing what they keep on the books that should be closed

7:09 am

jorjahgal

so even tho' you don't owe anything on it... like my sears card for example... close it?

7:09 am

crosshair

equifax..i cant remember the other

7:10 am

herinfernallady

Um JOrg have a look at the links i gave

7:10 am

NonnieLight

Yes jorj...if you don't need it for an emergency, close it out.

7:10 am

NonoNanette

credit reporting agencies such as Equifax will still keep those accounts on your records tho for as long as 20 years even if you close them

7:10 am

crosshair

they see it as a POTENTIAL debt

7:11 am

crosshair

keep just one all purpose card

7:11 am

NonnieLight

For the history, right. But the potential for the debt is gone.

7:11 am

NonoNanette

Trans Uniion and Experian are the other credit reporting companies

7:11 am

herinfernallady

did any one see my links?

7:11 am

crosshair

besides that,sears rates are crazy!

7:11 am

crosshair

trans union,thats the other

7:12 am

crosshair

better off using your master card in sears than the sears card!

7:12 am

NonnieLight

Sears can be bears to work with also.

7:12 am

NonoNanette

yes Herin i already downloaded Orman's book

7:12 am

jorjahgal

sorry... herin didn't realize those were meant for me... I just opened them and then saved them in bookmarks

7:12 am

jorjahgal

thanks so much!

7:12 am

crosshair

sears,and other in store cards should be the first to be cut

7:13 am

NonoNanette

if you must use a credit card use one with a low interest rate and try to pay it off each month

7:13 am

herinfernallady

WIth all your credit ratings and stuff i have no idea how that all works state side. Jor that Orman book may help

7:13 am

crosshair

and put a limit on the cards you do keep

7:13 am

herinfernallady

I dont even have a credit card

7:14 am

jorjahgal

We 3 cc... sears... owe nothing.... dell and union plus and together those are about 1500 .... but instead of paying them off we were making pmts to try to up our score but it does not seem to be making a diff. .. and yes paid on time

7:14 am

crosshair

my mastercard company keeps bumping my limit.o mean who actually needs a card with 20,000 limit.im gonna slash that soon

7:14 am

NonnieLight

jorj, you may think about transferring high interest loans to a no or very low interest card, with no fee and that will lock you in at the low rate.

7:14 am

NonoNanette

I keep two..... one i use most of the time but pay the full amount each month the other is only a back up if the first isnt accepted someplace

7:14 am

jorjahgal

I did that with sears... they tried to give us a 5000. limit and I knocked it down to 250.

7:15 am

kantplay

To avoid not paying bills, set up online account for a recurring bill payment every month. That way you can't miss a payment. You can pay the minimum and then at least you made a payment rather than missing it.

7:15 am

crosshair

get rid of the sears,they carry a craqzy interest rate,and since they take visa and mc,you dont need it

7:15 am

herinfernallady

We live on under $4000 a month here half goes in rent and petral

7:15 am

NonnieLight

but make sure you make the payment on time. They will jack that rate up to an ungodly amount and be laughing all the way to the bank.

7:15 am

jorjahgal

rather they did and I made them change it... I know me too well.... awwww look at 100 inch lcd tv for 3000 toooo tempting

7:16 am

herinfernallady

Jorg Check that Ormond book likely to have all your answers in there

7:16 am

crosshair

you would laugh at what we live on herin:/

7:17 am

herinfernallady

Crossy we don't have money to buy frivolous crap.

7:17 am

72 Temple Owl

if you are all able to, join a credit union . they have expanded membership and if it's a strong one, they have better rates on everything and free counseling

7:17 am

NonoNanette

herin I wish I had that much income a month

7:18 am

NonoNanette

very true TO!

7:18 am

jorjahgal

I sure appreciate all ya'lls help. Most places were very understanding when I had all that going on with Mama but some coulda cared less. We have always banked at our credit union

7:18 am

jorjahgal

that

7:18 am

jorjahgal

that

7:18 am

crosshair

i always use a credit union:))

7:18 am

NonoNanette

about the same here Crossy for the two of us

7:18 am

72 Temple Owl

or meet with a debt counselor. worth the money. another way is to work part time and earmark the money for a certain bill. you can figure out how long you will have to work and will have a goal in sight.

7:18 am

jorjahgal

geesh sorry hit the enter button instead of the key

7:19 am

crosshair

good advice to;))

7:19 am

herinfernallady

sorry i suck at adding. $3600 between us. $1386 rent

7:19 am

NonnieLight

Right and as soon as you get one paid off, double up on another. It really goes fast when you put your mind to it.

7:19 am

72 Temple Owl

if i worked as many extra hours as i babble....

7:19 am

NonnieLight

oh my...what is very high rent!

7:19 am

herinfernallady

Cross is that before or after bills and the like?

7:19 am

NonoNanette

lol TO we would be rich if we did that

7:20 am

crosshair

and things like bringing your own coffe from home instead of takeout can save 100 a month

7:20 am

72 Temple Owl

7:20 am

herinfernallady

7:20 am

Time for a break. Going to pop onto CNN and look at more "Miracle on the Hudson" pics.

Is the te9 a compound word?

Haz1558

en8/45 - French for pregnant, en8/60 - wraps oneself around, en8/45 - en, junior Miss Cruise, rearrange the number after ni4/4

8:47 am

Sandieangel

en8s - one is an old fashioned word for being pregnant and the other is twisted together.

8:47 am

Anniebrook

hi there, crossy

8:48 am

Haz1558

Sorry, that should be es8. e plus Miss Cruise etc.

Hi fellow babblers! How is this grid?

8:50 am

Haz1558

I know, Aloy, it just sounds better somehow. But then, most French words do, it's just that sort of language.

8:50 am

Aloyisius

8:53 am

Sandieangel

wrapping en 8 start with babies who are born together and then add a vowel.

8:53 am

Haz1558

Eva - think in terms of en plus the sort of thick string you use for wrapping parcels.

Hello Dorens.

Dorens

8:57 am

crosshair

lol i pocket compost and dont eat things that cast a shadow;)

8:57 am

Anniebrook

kje was saying how much she liked their coffee and since I am a coffee fiend I ordered some online and I am enjoying the coffee very much

8:58 am

Haz1558

Mr Geller was very popular here in the seventies, claimed to bend spoons, stop Big Ben, that kind of thing. He's obviously not as famous as he (or I) thought he was.

8:58 am

Dorens

nan. china japan, these countries are o****al---that is the end of it

8:58 am

crosshair

ahh remember "the amazing kreskin?"

8:58 am

cybernan

Ihave the ending, it is the beginning I'm not finding

8:59 am

cybernan

yes -- I do remember Kreskin

8:59 am

Dorens

annie.. did you get it ground or whole bean? any particular blend? (i am a coffee fiend too... not as bad as my kids who have to have it freshly ground!)

8:59 am

Dorens

nan e + i am **re you can find it

8:59 am

inge

thanks Haz, I finally got it m, the en 8

9:00 am

Haz1558

es plus Agatha Christies famous eastward bound train, changing the first vowel in the direction word

9:00 am

Anniebrook

I decided to start with the house blend and I ordered the whole bean and ground it myself

9:00 am

crosshair

te**** anybody? whos up for a good game of te****?

9:00 am

Haz1558

Glad you got there, inge.

9:00 am

Oh -- I see the confusion now -- I am looking for the last en 8, please... I have pregnant, and wraps around

9:01 am

Dorens

that is what we're cluing nan

9:01 am

Dorens

e + i am **re you can find the o**** express

9:02 am

cybernan

thankyou all very much -- have all three -- I thought haz had clued 3 en 8's earlier. Sorry!

9:03 am

Haz1558

Glad it's sorted out, I made an initial mistake and I think it confused things.

9:03 am

cybernan

break time -- bbl

9:03 am

Dorens

all's well that ends well

9:04 am

Haz1558

That would make a good name for a play.

9:05 am

Dorens

indeed

9:05 am

Vicuna

You think so Haz? I dunno - it might give away to much of them ending. It would never be popular.

9:05 am

Vicuna

too

9:05 am

Vicuna

the

9:05 am

Dorens

hi vi

9:05 am

Vicuna

*wonders whether to give up and disappear again*

9:05 am

Anniebrook

Hi Vicuna, please stay

9:05 am

Haz1558

Ah, but then it could be just to confuse the audience.

9:06 am

Vicuna

Hello. =D

9:06 am

Dorens

annie you are in the grid. i am often, so is stid, but i don't remember seeing you there

9:06 am

Haz1558

You know, make them think it's going to be fine but then hit them with a shock.

9:06 am

crosshair

crossy hands vic a nice leather club jacket....

9:07 am

Vicuna

Ahh, sneaky. Like calling your play "Hamlet" and then not even having it be set in a small village!

9:07 am

Anniebrook

yes, I see it....it has been there before too

9:07 am

Vicuna

Wow, crosshair! Thanks!

9:07 am

Haz1558

Exactly.

9:07 am

Vicuna

ANd then being long-dead so theatre-goers can't demand their money back.

9:08 am

Haz1558

Midsummer's Night Dream - with members of the cast in ski gear

9:08 am

Dorens

and starting a bunch of rumors about who you really are and did you really write all those plays yourself?

9:08 am

Vicuna

... and awake.

9:09 am

Haz1558

And day time

9:09 am

Vicuna

Exactly. It's all about getting people talking.

9:10 am

Vicuna

Clearly we should all have careers in marketing.

9:10 am

Haz1558

I think so. Do you make lots of money in marketing?

9:10 am

Vicuna

Me? No. But I hear there are people who do.

9:11 am

Haz1558

The Rich Marketeeers?

9:11 am

Dorens

i know a couple. i wouldn't want to be one

9:11 am

Vicuna

Especially if you're willing to market cigarettes, and alcohol to minors, and weapons to unstable governments, and so forth.

9:11 am

Anniebrook

The Merchant of Venice working for Madison Avenue?

9:12 am

Dorens

sounds good annie. and then again, how bout starbucks?

9:12 am

Vicuna

The Merchant of Venice is probably the marketer who convinced that casino in Vegas to build the fake canals and gondolas and all.

9:12 am

Haz1558

It makes me laugh every time I see it. What possessed them?

9:13 am

Anniebrook

They are possessed

9:13 am

Dorens

oh i was actually there vi.. with a friend on the way to a party associated with the convention she was there for... and it was amazing, rushing through the halls, looking up at the sky (at 8:30 pm) and then hearing the gondoliers singing

9:14 am

Dorens

they have the ceiling looking like a blue sky with a couple of clouds.. you would swear it was daytime... eerie

9:14 am

Vicuna

My brother (who's a climber) did a funny over-the-top gig at a Vegas convention once, rapelling down from the ceiling wearing fake lederhosen and an Austrian hat. They really are completely nutso.

9:15 am

Haz1558

Did he yodel as he descended?

9:15 am

Dorens

and a teacher at my school who just loves las vegas thinks she doesn't need to go to paris cause she has been to the paris hotel and sat at the cafÃ© and eaten french dip

9:15 am

Vicuna

No, he did not have to yodel, thank goodness!

9:16 am

Haz1558

Have you slapped that woman hard, Dorens?

9:16 am

Dorens

vegas has turned into disneyland for adults... all plastic and makebelieve... and americans seem to love that

9:17 am

Vicuna

Maybe it's just as well if people like that stay home so folks in other countries don't get even worse impressions of US-ians. Still... a teacher!

9:17 am

Haz1558

But there's such a word of difference between a pastiche and the real thing. You just get a sanitised version that really is a fantasy.

9:17 am

Christa

Haz1558 .. I total agree. I have seen such changes since I started babble in 2005

9:17 am

Haz1558

*world of difference

9:17 am

Dorens

ha.. no haz. she is terrific. She is editor of a menswear retailing magazine and every august they have a huge convention... and there are parties everywhere in the evening. this was a party at the venetian hotel... she isn't into that stuff... but the party was fun and the food delicious (wolfgang puck's restaurant0

9:18 am

Haz1558

Hello Christa - you've read the profile? Lots of people feel the same way, I think.

9:18 am

Vicuna

(I think Haz was suggesting slapping the teacher, not your friend, Doren!)

9:19 am

Haz1558

Oh, slap everyone if it makes them see sense i.e what you think.

9:19 am

Dorens

the teacher is one of those young women who really shouldn't be teaching... pathetic. and i really have a hard time being collegial with such a moron

9:19 am

Vicuna

(Not that I would advocate slapping anyone, being a pacifist, and all. But I do understand the temptation.)

9:19 am

Haz1558

You're quite right, Vicuna. Virtual slaps are the best.

9:20 am

Dorens

i'd love to slap this one, for several reasons. but guidance counselors who teach conflict resolution can't quite get away with that

9:20 am

horsegal

why won't it take rubescent???

9:20 am

Haz1558

enable mustn't like the word, though it sounds very nice to me.

9:20 am

Vicuna

lol, Doren. Back to the marketing! Hard to market yourself as a conflict resolver after fisticuffs in the school hallway!

9:21 am

Haz1558

Oh Dorens, sometimes conflict resolution consists of knocking heads together.

9:21 am

Vicuna

Enable ought to be blushing at that omission!

9:21 am

EvaNadine

if you slap them unconscious, the conflict will be over!

9:22 am

Dorens

just glanced through your profile haz.... wish more people felt that way. i am getting tired of hearing excruciating details of some peopes' lives. suppose i've been guilty of a bit of it myself once in a while, but it seems insufferable sometimes

9:22 am

inge

May I have a clue for ne 7/32 please? What is the third letter?

9:22 am

Vicuna

ne7/32 - ne + liquid bodily waste

9:23 am

Haz1558

I know. In my case I've been babbling for quite a while and feel that I could tell people's life stories for them. Closing the chat log has been a blessing. I only emerge when I think it's safe.

9:23 am

Vicuna

Which leads me to realize that I never actually entered the liquid bodily waste in its own right. Sometimes my density astonishes me. Time to try "etna" just on principle.

9:24 am

inge

thanks vicuna

9:25 am

Vicuna

I think Dr_G should make a choice of chat logs. There could be the under-13 chat log, the pet discussion chat log, the injury and sickness chat log, the trouble with children chat log, and the frivolous flippancy chat log.

9:25 am

Haz1558

No go with etna? I checked just in case as well!

9:25 am

Vicuna

I know where I'd be.

9:25 am

Dorens

daily reports on every little thing every one of their children do every day. and far too many unnecessary reports on pets digestive systems (i almost said something the other day, but lack the nerve)

9:26 am

Vicuna

Or there could just be the spelling-out-clues log versus the obscure-and-difficult-clues log.

9:26 am

Vicuna

I know where I'd be.

9:26 am

Haz1558

I lenjoy having conversations with people, not listening to monologues of likes and dislikes.

9:26 am

Dorens

oh funny. i tried etna too

9:27 am

Dorens

conversations rather than daily checking of the monotony

9:27 am

Anniebrook

and I tried nini just in case the spelling of the goose was different

9:27 am

Dorens

and i tried ninnie since there are so many of us

9:28 am

Vicuna

Whenever etna is in the grid, it's always one of the last words I find... Even though I generally get ante right away. This makes me feel exceptionally stupid every time!

9:28 am

Vicuna

lol, I tried ninnie, too.

9:28 am

Vicuna

ANd ninnier.

9:28 am

Anniebrook

niner

9:28 am

Haz1558

I've often talked about how exceptionally stupid you are, Vicuna. Tone deaf and stupid, it must be difficult.....

9:29 am

torgone

Neener

9:29 am

Vicuna

It is, Haz. Believe me, it is. *sigh*

9:29 am

Haz1558

Hello torgone!

9:29 am

Vicuna

Are you taunting us, tor?

9:29 am

Anniebrook

Hi torgone

9:29 am

torgone

Good morning ..

9:29 am

Trifioso

good morning tor

9:30 am

torgone

No that would be "Neener neener"

9:30 am

Vicuna

Half a taunt just doesn't cut it, eh?

9:31 am

torgone

It's just a tauntlet at that point

9:31 am

Vicuna

Hello, Trifioso.

9:32 am

Haz1558

I like the sound of a tauntlet.

9:32 am

Haz1558

It should go nicely with the throwing down of a gauntlet.

9:33 am

Haz1558

If you're writing a poem about 'The duel'

9:33 am

Vicuna

Good point, Haz. *smack* And your mothers smells of elderberries!

9:33 am

Vicuna

All of thems does.

9:34 am

torgone

I say neener to you Sir. How do you answer my tauntlet?

9:34 am

Dorens

just got off the phone. i seem to have missed wonderful conversation

9:34 am

Vicuna

lol, tor

9:34 am

torgone

Not really ..

9:34 am

Vicuna

Nah!

9:35 am

Haz1558

I say to you 'Fie' Here's mud in your eye, and at your feet I throw down my gauntlet!

9:35 am

Vicuna

Isn't "here's mud in your eye" supposed to be more of a toast than a tauntlet? I think you're sending mixed messages, Haz.

9:35 am

Haz1558

It doesn't scan too well, but we've got that tauntlet and gauntlet rhyming nicely.

9:36 am

Vicuna

*musing* You could spit in his eye, of course, but I think that's a full-fledged taunt at that point.

9:36 am

Haz1558

I don't know. I think mud in anybody's eye would cause them to act on tauntlets and throw down gauntlets.

9:36 am

Haz1558

That's why knights wore armour - to avoid mud in their eye.

9:37 am

Vicuna

Okay. And the next line can be something about "And your unclet is cuckolded by your aunlet."

9:37 am

Vicuna

That's auntlet. *sigh*

9:38 am

Haz1558

I think the auntlet has had problems with her show off daughter - the flauntlet.

9:38 am

Anniebrook

that did it! I just fell off my chair laughing

9:38 am

Vicuna

And after someone gets killed in the ensuing duel, they can become a hauntlet.

9:38 am

torgone

I want to go pick up chicklets

9:39 am

Haz1558

Oh good! I love it when we cause bodily injury on babble.

9:39 am

Vicuna

Ah yes, the flauntlet - didn't she go off on a jauntlet with the jester?

9:39 am

LoriP

***perchance can jauntlet work in here somehow? Good Sir Knight's trip to the armory.***

9:39 am

Haz1558

Yes, the hussy!

9:39 am

Vicuna

LoriP!!!

9:40 am

Haz1558

I think you're right - sense can come from Canada!

9:40 am

LoriP

Vic! G'ad almost afternoon Babblers.

Vicuna

*dusts off AnnieB and sets her back in her chair*

9:40 am

hootowl

Thank you all! I needed a good laugh and someone to say what I have been thinking!

9:41 am

Haz1558

I have visions of the flauntlet going for a walk - the sauntlet.

9:41 am

Haz1558

Hello hootowl!

9:41 am

hootowl

You are all very talented wordies!

9:41 am

Anniebrook

thank you, Vicuna.....is Act II coming up or is there an intermission?

9:41 am

LoriP

I have finally broken my months long silence and have embarked on fontlet.

9:41 am

hootowl

hi haz

9:41 am

Dorens

finally made my morning coffee (latte actually) and come back to read more hilarity... this is a good chog... but doesn't anyone want to whine about anything? thn we might have an awwwwwntlet?

9:41 am

LoriP

G'd afternoon Hot, Dorens, Annie anyone I missed

9:41 am

Dorens

hi lori nice to see you again too

9:42 am

Anniebrook

Hi Lori...glad to see you

9:42 am

hootowl

hahaha - hot I'm not! Hi all

9:42 am

Dorens

hi hoot

9:43 am

Vicuna

No Act II. The flauntlet has eloped, the unclet has throttled the auntlet, the tauntleted knight is slain, and the curtain goes down on the whole mess.

9:43 am

LoriP

Dorens on to it, something of an awwwwwnlet could be a nice descriptor.

9:44 am

Haz1558

But the hauntlet?

9:44 am

Haz1558

Most of the chog stuff is a yawnlet.

9:44 am

Anniebrook

Well, that was great....sort of Mel Brookish

9:44 am

Vicuna

While the puzzled audience says amongst themselves, "Wait, that was the play they advertized as "All's Well that Ends Well?????""

9:44 am

Dorens

nice tying together there vi

9:45 am

Haz1558

It's so nice to be able to laugh!

9:45 am

Vicuna

And Shakespeare himself comes out (in the form of a hauntlet, of course) to give a little vauntlet about his wonderful achievements.

9:45 am

LoriP

Nothing like a good riblet.

9:46 am

Haz1558

Oh, a vauntlet! The athletic one?

9:46 am

Vicuna

No, the boastful one.

9:46 am

Haz1558

No - it would be the vaultlet, wouldn't it?

9:46 am

Vicuna

Wouldn't the athletic one be a vaultlet?

9:46 am

Haz1558

We share a brain cell, Vi.

9:46 am

Vicuna

Which coincidentally is also the place where Romeo and Juliet snuffed it.

9:47 am

Vicuna

It's a good cell, isn't it Haz.

9:47 am

Dorens

we admire it from afar

9:47 am

Haz1558

Yes indeed.

9:48 am

Vicuna

(Not the same sort of cell where Friar Lawrence lives, of course. We're co-cogitators, not co-habitators.)

9:48 am

Haz1558

Sometimes we're co-agitators.

9:49 am

Vicuna

Just keep stirring the pot!

9:49 am

LoriP

***snickering uproariously***

9:50 am

Takuma Sato

howdy folks

9:50 am

Haz1558

Hello Takuma.

9:50 am

Vicuna

Hello, Takuma! Jump in - the broth is fine!

9:50 am

Haz1558

Why, Lori. What can you mean?

9:50 am

Dorens

hi takuma... another long time no see

9:50 am

LoriP

G'd afternoon Takuma

9:51 am

Dorens

broth meaning the chat, vi? i haven't looked at the grid in ages now

9:51 am

Dorens

haz, do you have some sort of aura? while you're here, the others don't chat??? it's been a while and I haven't seen "them" yet

9:51 am

LoriP

Covens and cauldrons and tauntlets, oh my!

9:51 am

Vicuna

Yep. Contained within the proverbially stirred pot, of course.

9:51 am

Haz1558

I'm not sure, Dorens.

9:51 am

Trifioso

it's because we are all afraid to chat when Haz in on

9:51 am

Trifioso

is on

9:51 am

Vicuna

Who you calling a coven, Lori? Was that a tauntlet?

9:52 am

Haz1558

Oh really?

9:52 am

Dorens

no reason to fear haz... she speaks righteously

9:52 am

Haz1558

It strkes me that you're never afraid to chat.

9:52 am

LoriP

More of a barblet really...

9:52 am

Trifioso

lol lori!

9:52 am

Dorens

indeed lori

9:53 am

Anniebrook

oh, are we throwing gauntlets around again? oh goody!

9:53 am

Vicuna

Ah well. I can live with that.

9:53 am

Dorens

we have had hilarity here... no reason to stop, is there?

9:53 am

Vicuna

Annie's been collecting and stockpiling all the thrown gauntlets. She's sufficiently armed for an octopus at this point!

9:54 am

Dorens

annie. i just checked peets website, and they do sell in some nj stores, so i think i'll pick up some beans and see. the info on their coffee shops is interesting, tho... wish we had one of those here

9:54 am

Dorens

but will she throw them down, vi, that is the question

9:54 am

Haz1558

Okay, time I went. Obviously Trif has something majorly important to say and I'll be cramping her style. Bye for now.

9:55 am

Trifioso

I have nothing to say

9:55 am

LoriP

No! Clear the air! Talklet!

9:55 am

Vicuna

Awwwwwntlet, Haz!

9:55 am

Dorens

no haz.... peaceful conflict resolution... it is possible for you both to be on.............

9:55 am

Trifioso

really, I don't! I just read your bio and got really intimidated, is all....

9:55 am

Anniebrook

Hazel! I am putting all the gauntlets in my vaultlet

9:55 am

Dorens

(well placed awwww, vi)

9:56 am

Vicuna

Haz, Dorens will be "resolving conflicts" again if you don't watch out! There will be cracked heads!

9:56 am

Dorens

haz you belong here... room for everyone.... (and I just might try out this newfangled headcracking rather than reflective listening)

9:56 am

LoriP

Annie will have them on e-bay as we type.....

9:56 am

Anniebrook

Do I have to get my winglets out and start hovering again?

9:57 am

Vicuna

Sigh. So, Doren, this "grid" of which you speak...

9:57 am

rururocks

sounds like the chat room is on the dangerous side today.. (ducks)

9:57 am

periwinkle

and a cheery good day, afternoon, evening to all

9:58 am

Vicuna

Howdy, rururocks. Yes, beware of flying rhymes.

9:58 am

LoriP

Not a't'all. I do believe people are sensitive, because it is readily misinterpereted, the difference between chat and all out therapy....

9:58 am

periwinkle

my cat just threw up and not in the kitchen. On the carpet in the living room

9:58 am

Dorens

yah vi... maybe we will have to look for words here

9:58 am

Dorens

hi ruru and peri... it is safe

9:58 am

periwinkle

it was a whopping 11 degrees F when I got up. Now 14 degrees

9:58 am

periwinkle

found 2 en8

9:58 am

Anniebrook

So Haz left with one of my gauntlets?

9:58 am

Dorens

peri is determined to be cheery

9:58 am

tragicstud

9 and 13 here peri... gonna be 8 when i get up tomorrow...

9:58 am

Trifioso

I am so embarrsassed now. My cousin, aknitter, told me about this place, and invited me to check it out. the first couple of days i was on, all I did was try to figure out the puzzles (duh). then I got sidetracked into reading the chog, and there was someone sharing something pretty personal, so I thought it was okay to talk about real life here.

9:58 am

periwinkle

I saw there was an es 8 earlier, but trouble with internet connection and missed the clue

9:59 am

Vicuna

Was it yours, Annie? Finders keepers?

9:59 am

periwinkle

I am sure trying to be

9:59 am

LoriP

Grab her Annie, don't let ger steal your garblet!

9:59 am

rururocks

you can accessorize those gauntlets you know...

9:59 am

Vicuna

Trifioso, it's definitely okay to talk about real life.

9:59 am

Dorens

keep them locked up annie, don't let them out

9:59 am

Dorens

yes tri, we all do it, honestly

9:59 am

Vicuna

People do enjoy getting to know one another.

9:59 am

Trifioso

then I read Haz's profile, and I am totally, totally, scarlet. seems I inadvertently was one of the people she vehemently HATES, and her posts today would certainly support my theory

9:59 am

LoriP

Not a thing wrong with real life. We all do it.

10:00 am

Vicuna

The frustration for some of us merely comes with overkill.

10:00 am

Trifioso

Haz does not agree with you, lori.

10:00 am

Vicuna

And I doubt you are top of Haz's list, Trifioso!

10:00 am

periwinkle

help with te7 please

10:00 am

Dorens

peri e + i am **re you can get this + murder on the o**** express

10:00 am

Vicuna

Lori! Speak for yourself! I, for one, utterly deny having any real life!

10:00 am

Dorens

haz doesn't hate anyone tri (not that i am in her head.. just trying to empathise and could be wrong)

10:00 am

Trifioso

vic, look at how she responded to me at 9:54, and the poist before that

10:01 am

Anniebrook

I am waiting for Vicuna to be unaware of my hovering then I will steal back my gauntlet and bop her with my panlet

10:01 am

Trifioso

post

10:01 am

LoriP

I beg to differ Tri. I had a real life once, but it was unsuitable, so I ignore it now....

10:01 am

Dorens

she just likes the chat to not get bogged down in these things.... keep it light, clever, word oriented, not a daily blog

10:01 am

Vicuna

Ouch!

10:01 am

Trifioso

i am just so embarrassed (being quite for the next year and a half, now, as she suggests....)

10:01 am

periwinkle

thanks, Dorens, never would have found that one

10:01 am

rururocks

don't take it personally tri... haz doesn't work that way...

10:02 am

Dorens

stealth annie

10:02 am

LoriP

Haz, get back here!

10:02 am

Trifioso

don't take it personally, ruru? who did she name when she stomped out?

10:02 am

LoriP

Annie hovers softly, and carries a big panlet. lolol

10:02 am

Dorens

lighten up trif

10:02 am

Vicuna

Trifioso, I think you're overreacting. If you read her profile again you will note that she never says anything about forbidding all personal conversation. She repeatedly uses modifiers such as "endlessly repeated," etc.

10:02 am

Anniebrook

Hazel does not stomp....she glides via Ginger Rogers

10:02 am

periwinkle

is there an ot8?

10:03 am

rururocks

she just used that as a convenient exit...there is no issue

10:03 am

Dorens

dunno peri, i'm listless

10:03 am

periwinkle

I am too

10:03 am

LoriP

ot peri? te 9

10:03 am

Dorens

indeed annie... glides like the plane into the hudson river yesterday

10:03 am

GraceM

can't be an ot...

10:03 am

periwinkle

ok then, help with the te7 or te9 pls

10:04 am

rururocks

tri everyone gets stuck on certain words and teh clues (while trying to be helpful) don't connect and you have to ask for another view..

10:04 am

Vicuna

Well, Trif, she could just as well be bewailing that you hate her because she's the one you accused of frightening her! Maybe you do, of course, but I'm thinking that's a needlessly strong word for either of you to be accusing the other of.

10:04 am

LoriP

9 is an extension of the 7. What this chat currently suffers from te 7....

10:04 am

Anniebrook

dorens...that was a miracle...waterways came so quickly

10:04 am

Vicuna

10:05 am

10:05 am

Vicuna

Aha! yes!

Saskia is pretty down about it too, but being a dog at least she was able to cheer herself up by being a total goon in the woods with some puppies today. Walter seems to be taking it very well but at this age it's hard to tell, of ocurse. He did wake up severalk times in the night, very unusual for him since his terrible sleep problems stopped at 14 months old, but he doesn't remember why he woke up. And he's been pretty wild. I thin khe's compensating.

12:45 pm

Thank you. She was only 9. But she never suffered; this took an unusual course and was far more visible than usual, so we were able to make the right decision at the very moment she started to decline-- just in the last week she didn't go out anymore and slept a lot, and started losing weight, but she was never in pain except for a day from the biopsy. And she went out purring, I saw to that. More I could not do.

12:49 pm

The vet also said if it was his cat he would have done everything we did, step for step-- needle biopsy two months ago, which said benign, then when it started growing so unbelievably fast, x-rays followed by a surgical biopsy when the x-rays looked like it could be easily removed, then facing facts when the cyst interfered with the biopsy spot... Peri, I WAS crying buckets. And all the way home too.

12:53 pm

stidmama

no, because it's french. it's going to be backwards and inside out and upside down.

what did they force you to eat?

1:02 pm

Atalante

no, actually, after a long saga about picking my car up from renault, I ended up with a really swimmy migraine headache and I just had to stop and get something to eat and drink cos I dont think I could have driven home otherwise

1:02 pm

Atalante

and I *thought* I found things that were realtively healthy, at least for garages, but no! ha! so screwed today!

1:02 pm

cybernan

es + express train to the east -- change first vowel

1:03 pm

Dorens

yes, and then you had to eat really fattening food... I hate when that happens to me

1:03 pm

KatieMcG

I see we fell for the "I'll point when I get home" trick

1:03 pm

Atalante

I had no choice, it was throw up everywhere in car or eat *something*!!!! hey, I avoided chocolate!!!!

1:04 pm

cybernan

lol

1:04 pm

Atalante

silly me thinking low fat yoghurt drinks and a salmon and salad sandwich were remotely healthy. I should have jjust eaten chocolate!!

1:04 pm

KatieMcG

That's good, but you haven't answered the question.........what did you eat?

1:04 pm

Atalante

there :P

1:05 pm

cybernan

anyone want clues before I leave?

1:05 pm

It is sooooo frustrating when you try and be good and then get tripped up

1:05 pm

evil Esso! I know! I'm just indignant LOL

1:05 pm

Dorens

dark chocolate is soooo good for you, too

1:05 pm

1:06 pm

KatieMcG

Myself!

1:06 pm

MINKIE

sipping tea and fresh chocolate chip cookies here... )

1:06 pm

1:06 pm

Atalante

GO YOU!!!

1:06 pm

KatieMcG

ohhhh minkie that sounds very good

1:06 pm

Atalante

1:07 pm

KatieMcG

Bye nan

1:07 pm

Dorens

ata, can you get greek yoghurt 0% fat?

1:07 pm

MINKIE

I used the huge chocolate wafers, salt and a ton of butter. I am very happy .

1:07 pm

KatieMcG

and think of the 10 points you saved up till now

1:08 pm

Atalante

yep!!! and I'll take Hobbit for a loooong walk tomorrow to get some more exercise points for then

1:08 pm

MINKIE

any clue for the te 9 please?

1:08 pm

Dorens

minkie stop tempting me! fresh baked chocolate chips are irresistable!!

1:08 pm

Dorens

one who causes te7

1:08 pm

EvaNadine

TE9 adds a suffix to the TE7

1:09 pm

MINKIE

Oooh....thank you!

1:09 pm

Atalante

anyway ... *stops ranting rather shamedly*

1:09 pm

MINKIE

I figure one cookie at a time...per day that is, won't kill me. ;)

1:09 pm

KatieMcG

*hopes minkie put some in the pb, a word will be entered soon!*

1:09 pm

MINKIE

at least not right away *grin*

1:09 pm

Dorens

but they need to be eaten fresh!

1:10 pm

Atalante

they do! they taste best fresh!

1:10 pm

Dorens

occasional rants are not frowned upon, ata..

1:10 pm

MINKIE

*delivers cookies to the pb on a nice porcelain plate* (then sneaks in pb)

1:10 pm

I know ... it's just annoying that such things are annoying!

1:10 pm

KatieMcG

1:11 pm

Dorens

can we just go in there without saying a word??? never thought about that

1:11 pm

MINKIE

I will start the bread for tomorrow in a little while. Want some of that too?

1:11 pm

KatieMcG

No Dorens, take the pain like the rest of us!!!!!!!

1:12 pm

KatieMcG

I'm not eating bread, mind you I wasn't drinking either and I'm half way through a bottle of wi**!!! It was a really really bad day!!

1:13 pm

MINKIE

Trick to cookies....leave dough to rest at least 24 to 32 hours. (keeping dough away from my son is the true test of cunning.)

1:13 pm

Atalante

awwwwwww, why so bad?

1:13 pm

KatieMcG

dough........resting............no getting it

1:14 pm

KatieMcG

I really don't want to talk about it but I'm sure things will pick up, needless to say my 'professional' stance about not getting the job went out the window as they gave me the second major project to be dumped on me

1:14 pm

MINKIE

You make the dough, then cover it and stick it in the fridge for 24-32 hours before baking the cookies. ;)

1:15 pm

KatieMcG

I love raw dough Minkie, I wouldn't be able to leave it

1:15 pm

Dorens

not eating carbs for a afew days... no cookies, no bread, no pasta, no potatoes.... no fun. (but I did just take a nice piece of dark chocolate)

1:15 pm

Atalante

urf. *sigh* *hugs kitt*

1:15 pm

MINKIE

*Sending cookies, fresh dough and a new bottle to Katie.*

1:15 pm

1:15 pm

1:16 pm

Atalante

1:17 pm

Dorens

my daughter just called and told me there were massive layoggs at the company where she works (and just began two months ago). she is thrilled it's not her... not now... but says the te7 is real strong there

1:17 pm

Dorens

ooh.. read layoFFs, not layoGGs

1:17 pm

MINKIE

In the summer I make chocolate ice cream with cookie dough in it. I will send out the invites. *note to self: tell Katie's boss....but don't invite him. Walk by his office with fresh cookies...stick tongue out.*

1:17 pm

KatieMcG

Lol Dorens, I went more down the route of screaming tantrum. Still it got them to take me seriously. I'm going to Counselling next week so hopefully things will pick up.

1:18 pm

Dorens

things will katie, they always do, just sometimes we can't see the future

1:18 pm

Atalante

*hands over yet more wi4*

1:19 pm

Dorens

oh right, it is evening there, you ladies can drink all the wi88 you want... i will wait till later. and toast you both.

1:19 pm

Atalante

how many points is a *proper* size glass of wine? not the 3 sips they talk about?

1:19 pm

MINKIE

OOooO wi4 and cookie party! I am so there!

1:20 pm

KatieMcG

Tonight I have no idea and care even less;-) Like I say, back on track tomorrow!

1:20 pm

Wish I could, Minkie - I get most of my daily calorie allowance from drink and chips, so the rest of the time it's celery. Yummy, yummy celery

1:25 pm

MINKIE

I actually like celery. Perhaps as a stirrer in a bloody mary for you nb?

1:25 pm

Atalante

ok that's better. except I waylaid by vodka and orange juice before seeing any wine

1:27 pm

Atalante

I have got to learn to drink vodka with something else but OJ now!

1:27 pm

Nancy Boy

Can't go wrong, Minkie ;) I had a bloody mary for breakfast this morning. Tomatoes, celery and worcestershire sauce? practically a meal.

1:41 pm

Just the smell makes me queasy now peri. Anyway going to try diving into the grid now...

1:42 pm

I love mudslides, but not with real icecream as it makes me ill, I'm going to do it with soya icecream in the summer

1:42 pm

MINKIE

aha! ty!

1:42 pm

hurshy

i suppose because you can't verify the age of the buyer.

1:42 pm

Atalante

I only know that because my best friend collects unopened miniatures and occasionally I find cool things for her on ebay, so I got to know the rules

1:42 pm

Haz1558

Good thinking hurshy.

1:43 pm

Atalante

any kids would just have to buy a lot of miniatures LOL

1:43 pm

1:43 pm

Ata I'll make sure my doorstep is clear for Amaretto dumping anytime.

1:43 pm

what kind of minis? i have a bunch of older ones. i think some of them are unopened.

1:43 pm

Dorens

bad guys, peri?

1:44 pm

Haz1558

si6/18 - a bad person, one who transgresses.

1:44 pm

MINKIE

You can verify the age of the buyer through the credit card. There are very strict laws in the US on interstate sales of alcohol. That may change in the next year.

1:44 pm

o-o

boola boola, hurshy

1:44 pm

Dorens

no, i mean one bad guy

1:44 pm

mcurlschool

Katie--not many places make a mudslide the way I like so I only have them on occasion at home where my "mix-master' hubby fixes it for me! I bet any kind of ice cream would be good.

1:44 pm

Atalante

her father collected them for years, especially when stationed in Germany, and she just took over when he died. Yes, just the shapes, the labels, sometimes you can get really cool bottles

1:44 pm

periwinkle

thanks for the si

1:44 pm

Atalante

if you've got unopened miniatures, joey, sell 'em on ebay! There's a big market so I've discovered!

1:44 pm

Think of the dusting if she has them out on display.

1:45 pm

joey

go to my profile, send me an email and i will respond with what i have.......

1:45 pm

Frances

Poor innocent me - what are mudslides?

1:45 pm

Atalante

she has - wait for it - about 300 of them - in a *sealed* cabinet!

1:45 pm

joey

well, i didn't know that....... i will have to look.

1:45 pm

Haz1558

Wise woman, Ata. That's a lot of dusting avoided.

1:45 pm

ice cream, kaluha and either vodka or rum. coat the glass with swirls of chocolate syrup.....yum

1:45 pm

1:46 pm

Frances, I'm innocent as well. I'm waiting to hear what I've been missing.

1:46 pm

please send email.............. thanks

1:46 pm

Atalante

could you do such a thing with baileys instead of kahlua?

1:46 pm

joey

bye

1:46 pm

mcurlschool

you can get "mudslide" mix but it doesn't use the ice cream

1:46 pm

Haz1558

I don't think you should mess with Baileys.

1:46 pm

periwinkle

I love Baileys!! but can't have it here. It is too tempting

1:47 pm

Haz1558

Apart from using it in cheesecake, of course, or decorating graves.

1:47 pm

mcurlschool

I don't see why you couldn't use baileys.....I'v used coconut vodka

1:47 pm

Frances

Oh that sounds good. Tia maria too Ata?

1:47 pm

Atalante

I just couldn't use any of the coffee liqueurs. the resy sounds gooooorgeous

1:47 pm

Frances

Decorating graves Haz?

1:48 pm

Haz1558

Were you not around when I recounted the story of the traveller's funeral?

1:48 pm

Atalante

please tell it again!

1:48 pm

Frances

No. Please tell.

1:48 pm

Haz1558

One of the last funerals featured a wreath in the shape of a Baileys bottle. Brown carnations, blown up label, the works.

1:49 pm

Haz1558

Apparently it was the deceased's favourite tipple.

1:49 pm

Atalante

so fabulous

1:49 pm

Haz1558

His hobby was represented by a fish shaped wreath and the fact that he was a man of peace was represented by doves being released.

1:50 pm

Haz1558

The rumour is that it was pigeons dipped in flour, but that may just be a rumour.

1:50 pm

Atalante

couldn't they get the flowers for a dove wreath?

1:50 pm

Frances

Must check on youtube to see if it is there. Sounds a riot.

1:50 pm

Frances

LOL Haz

1:50 pm

Haz1558

Come to think of it, I think there were some doves featured in flowers somewhere along the line.

1:51 pm

Atalante

that will live in Ballymena history for ever

1:51 pm

Haz1558

Frances, I don't know whether there would be any footage!

1:51 pm

MINKIE

ooOo...dibs on the pigeons. *licks lips*

1:51 pm

Atalante

the travellers have all been very quiet recently, or have you just not discovered anything interesting?

1:52 pm

I'm telling you, I wish I could be a fly on the wall of the local florists when the mourners pile in with their requests.

They've been quiet recently, Ata, but first communion will be coming up in February, I think, so pink stretch limos will be about.

1:52 pm

Haz1558

And light-up tiaras.

1:53 pm

Atalante

I'm still horrified by that BBC First Communion programme from last year

1:53 pm

torgone

5 hours in and I finally have nbt ..

1:53 pm

Haz1558

I know. But you can bet that lots of them will have watched it and loved it.

1:54 pm

Atalante

and taking inspiration from it

1:54 pm

Haz1558

Slow down, torgone, you'll make us all feel bad.

1:54 pm

o-o

does watching make them evil and demented?

1:54 pm

Haz1558

Absolutely, Ata, planning on how to do bigger and gaudier this year.

1:55 pm

torgone

I'm sorry .. Guess I won't gloat about having 53 left ..

1:55 pm

Atalante

oh yes. you'll have to learn how to use your camera and go down and take pictures

1:55 pm

o-o

and does anyone force you to watch

1:55 pm

Haz1558

Nobody forced me to watch, that's true.

1:56 pm

Haz1558

But can I not watch and express an opinion on what I've seen?

1:56 pm

MINKIE

Ok...enough fun for me. Back into the studio. Bye all.

1:56 pm

Atalante

but it was impossible not to watch

1:57 pm

Haz1558

Bye Minkie.

1:57 pm

o-o

not impossible, people can turn the television off if nothing else

1:57 pm

MINKIE

bye haz :) poof!

1:57 pm

Atalante

yes ...

1:57 pm

stidgmere

I have been very quiet trying to zip through this and as a result have a nice 111 left. Still not finished I think. Those with lunch hours are back to work, I think. Time for me to warm left overs. Nice soup from yesterday.

1:58 pm

Atalante

go go stidgmere!

1:58 pm

stidgmere

Atalante, you are such a cheerleader. Yeh.

1:58 pm

Haz1558

Yes, and I do turn the television off if I don't want to watch. I wanted to watch this programme because it featured local people. It featured differing attitudes to the taking of First Communion and it was interesting and mind-boggling at the same time.

1:59 pm

Atalante

it was. I learnt a lot watching it, both about first communions, and about people

1:59 pm

Atalante

oh Haz!!

2:00 pm

Haz1558

Yes?

2:00 pm

Lizsark

Atalante

2:12 pm

Vicuna

I know Toot & Puddles. They're pigs.

Toot & Puddles are two pigs that are best friends and live together; one a home body, one a world traveler

Who live in Woodcock Pocket.

Fruit - Its always been like that in our house until I went to Jordan last year and now I have the bug too

2:13 pm

2:16 pm

Just be glad that the pig books don't come with smells attached...

2:17 pm

Lizsark

scratch & snifff ahhhhhh

Atalante

mmmm pig manure!

2:17 pm

fruittart

Haz -- that's the best part of books, it's a selective sensory experience!

2:17 pm

Haz1558

It wouldn't be an aaaah of pleasure with a piggy smell.

2:17 pm

Vicuna

* in a Pepe le Peu accent* Words, where are you my leetle words! I am calling to you! We could make such beautiful musics togezzer!

2:18 pm

Lizsark

When I was little I had a scratch 'n sniff Xmas story and since then whenever I smell oranges I think of Christmas

2:18 pm

Haz1558

You're right, fruit.

2:18 pm

Atalante

do you remember those awful scratch and sniff stickers and pencils and stuff?

2:18 pm

Lizsark

2:18 pm

Haz1558

sc5/12 can rouse so many memories.

2:18 pm

Atalante

2:19 pm

Lizsark

My Mum has no sense of smell - I always think that must be so awful

2:19 pm

Atalante

awwwwww

2:20 pm

Haz1558

It would be, Liz. Taste would be affected badly as well. Has she ever had the sense or did she lose it?

2:20 pm

Lizsark

No never. She has a liking for really strong tasting foods, like Chinese or Curry or such

2:20 pm

Lizsark

or lemons - she loves lemons

2:21 pm

Haz1558

Does she eat them the same way we would eat oranges?

2:21 pm

Lizsark

and ginger too - God nw my memories are going overtime

2:21 pm

Atalante

I had a friend who could eat limes like that

2:21 pm

Lizsark

LOL NO! But she does put them in almost all her food

2:22 pm

Haz1558

I once lost my sense of smell thanks to an awful sinusitis - food tasted like cardboard. It was such a relief to get it back.

2:22 pm

Lizsark

You know what? Now I suddenly feel like eating something ginger flavoured - how odd!

2:22 pm

Vicuna

Mmmm.... ginger....

2:23 pm

Haz1558

Not diving for a lemon?

2:23 pm

Lizsark

I have to go - Son has a pal round for a sleepover and they are banging on about ice cream....

Lemon ice cream?

2:33 pm

2:33 pm

Vicuna

And I hope there isn't too much electricity between them!

Haz1558

I think Oscar is fully recovered, isn't he?

Thank you Doren, thank you.

3:04 pm

Haz1558

I know, and she needn't feel stupid. I do much more silly things but just keep quiet about them.

3:04 pm

Atalante

volcano? today?!

3:04 pm

Haz1558

Try it and see.

3:04 pm

Dorens

ectually, vi, i was typing that before you fished shamefully for the compliment

3:04 pm

mo

Haz ... just backtracked ... glad to know she was on earlier, so hopefully no problem.

3:05 pm

Atalante

didn't think so!

3:05 pm

Haz1558

I think everything's okay, mo.

3:05 pm

Dorens

but haz that may be where the intelligence shines, some of us do keep quiet when we feel silly

3:05 pm

Dorens

no no volcano, but she mentioned it earlier this morning

3:06 pm

mo

ty Haz.

3:06 pm

torgone

what do put on a pig's cut?

3:06 pm

Vicuna

That wasn't fishing for a compliment, Doren, that was stating an undeniable truth most forcefully.

3:06 pm

Haz1558

I don't know, torgone.

3:06 pm

torgone

Oinkment

3:06 pm

Dorens

indeed it was vi.

3:07 pm

Haz1558

Groan - good one!

3:07 pm

mo

how corny can you get!!!!....

3:07 pm

Vicuna

You ought to know that, Haz, married to a vet and all!

3:07 pm

Dorens

must not be in hs textbooks as well as the book haz is reading from

3:08 pm

Haz1558

'Doctor doctor, I can't pronounce my Fs, Ts and Hs' 'Well you can't say fairer than that then!'

3:08 pm

Vicuna

lol

3:08 pm

Haz1558

I know, I should have seen torgone's punchline coming.

3:08 pm

mo

Haz ... you have been reading the Daily Mail!

3:09 pm

Haz1558

You're a very astute woman, mo. Yesterday's edition is right beside me.

3:09 pm

Haz1558

Husband amused himself last night by reciting some of the jokes.

3:10 pm

Vicuna

Mo, this is where you say, "Elementary, my dear Haz."

3:10 pm

mo

there are some funnies in the DM .

3:10 pm

Haz1558

Can you write a sentence with politics in it?

3:10 pm

mo

LOL!!!

3:10 pm

Atalante

I love Pam Ayres's accent

3:10 pm

Haz1558

My parrot swallowed a clock and now politics.

3:11 pm

Dorens

major groan here

3:11 pm

mo

seen that too Haz.... hehe!

3:11 pm

Haz1558

Ata, are you too young to remember her on Opportunity Knocks?

3:11 pm

Vicuna

*giggle*

3:11 pm

Atalante

yes, sadly

3:11 pm

Atalante

I do love her though

3:11 pm

Haz1558

She's stayed well preserved in a natural sort of way.

3:12 pm

Atalante

yes, she looks like someone of her age should look, if that makes sense

3:12 pm

Haz1558

It makes perfect sense.

3:14 pm

mo

well must stop chatting ... still got 73 to go...

3:15 pm

Haz1558

etna isn't one of them, Vi established that for us.

3:15 pm

Vicuna

You're welcome, everyone. Just one of those helpful little services I like to render the community.

3:16 pm

Haz1558

And we thank you for it.

3:16 pm

Atalante

nor is business

3:17 pm

Haz1558

Niece isn't there either. For once I thought I had spotted it umprompted, but no.

3:17 pm

Atalante

nor sierra

3:18 pm

Vicuna

lol, Haz. I never never get niece - even worse than etna... and yet I did the exact same thing today. I was so proud of myself for spotting it and then - NO.

3:18 pm

Atalante

I never get niece or sierra

3:19 pm

Haz1558

It's humiliating, isn't it? What is it about niece?

3:19 pm

Vicuna

Well, I haven't got any. Maybe that's my problem.

3:19 pm

Atalante

it's just impossibel to see

3:19 pm

Haz1558

Nor have I. Could that be it?

3:20 pm

Haz1558

Do you have any nieces, Ata?

3:20 pm

Vicuna

Must be. I'd ask my siblings to produce some for me in order to improve my Babble game, but somehow I'm not sure they'd appreciate it.

3:20 pm

Atalante

2 step-nieces

3:20 pm

Dorens

if you don't get sierra, do you get si****?

3:21 pm

Atalante

no! LOL

3:21 pm

Haz1558

Gently done, Dorens.

3:24 pm

Atalante

yes, ty, dorens

3:25 pm

Vicuna

Well, son has asked me to find the Mexican Hat Dance music on the computer so he can practice! lol So, good-night, all!

3:26 pm

Dorens

glad to be of help

3:26 pm

Haz1558

Night night Vi.

3:27 pm

Dorens

bye vi, nice seeing you

3:30 pm

Dorens

how rude.... my firefox crashed. i don't think that ever happened before.

3:30 pm

Haz1558

Can we stop being entertaining and witty for Vi now?

3:30 pm

Atalante

bad firefox!

3:31 pm

Dorens

was in the process of printing the confirmation for my hotel reservation for my son's wedding in martha's vineyard - maybe it objected to something there

3:32 pm

Haz1558

I hope you don't end up getting booked twice.

3:33 pm

Dorens

doubtful.. and very very excited about this wedding.

3:34 pm

Haz1558

When is it?

3:35 pm

Dorens

may 17th. david is the one who told me about babble, when Jaime told me about it... he has babbled himself from time to time.. digeridoo. an exceedingly silly boy

3:35 pm

Dorens

that was supposed to be when Jaime (a lovely girl, thank the lord) told HIM about it. she is an english teacher and students showed it to her

3:36 pm

Haz1558

I hope all goes well with the arrangements. What age is your son?

3:37 pm

Dorens

he just turned 30... he had sort of lost himself for several years, and the love of a good woman, etc, etc.. He is now enrolled in Harvard and is interested in becoming a librarian

3:37 pm

Haz1558

That must be a relief for you. No wonder you're excited!

3:37 pm

Dorens

she has been fantastic for him.. and he brought her to martha's vineyard four years ago to meet us on our family vacation and i just loved her from the start. and now she loves the place and chose it for her wedding.

3:38 pm

Dorens

yes yes much happiness involved here... and his brother (phoebe's father) is now a professor at harvard, and they are expecting child #2 in july.. so the family is growing in several dimensions

3:38 pm

Haz1558

That sounds lovely. You're not in line to feature in any mother-in-law jokes if this continues.

3:39 pm

Dorens

hahahaha... no, no moi!

3:40 pm

Dorens

altho ken can make lots of bad girlfriend jokes about me (and my kids love laughing at them) favorite pasttime at our family get=togethers... making fun of mom

3:41 pm

Haz1558

The family that laughs together stays together?

3:41 pm

Dorens

something like that, lol they still like our annual week in Martha's vineyard... just booked a week in august, and they are all coming, so i guess they're making fun of me can't be all bad

3:42 pm

Dorens

ooh look at the errors there. their.. not they're ... one of my favorite pet peeves, too. and no period after the ubiquitous "lol"

3:43 pm

Dorens

I need to get back using capital letters, proper punctuation, and proofreading.

3:43 pm

Haz1558

It's a wonder I'm talking to you at all.

3:43 pm

Dorens

A wonder indeed. I am highly honoured.

3:44 pm

Dorens

i'm down to 25 listless, shall I list or soldier on?

3:44 pm

Dorens

make that 24

3:44 pm

Haz1558

Oh I'll say list and Ata will say soldier on.

3:44 pm

Haz1558

It depends on how much time or patience you have.

3:44 pm

Atalante

list!

3:44 pm

Dorens

oh my.. that is two lists?

3:45 pm

Haz1558

Just to prove me wrong....

3:45 pm

Atalante

soldier on!

3:45 pm

Dorens

that was surely her reason

3:45 pm

Haz1558

Now she's being provoking.

3:45 pm

torgone

Soldier off!

3:45 pm

Dorens

provoking me??

3:45 pm

Dorens

or confusing me. that's it. I shall soldier off, clean a drawer or something, and come back fresh later on.

3:45 pm

Haz1558

No! Provoking me by saying both options.

3:46 pm

Atalante

looool

3:46 pm

Atalante

provoke Haz? never!

3:46 pm

Dorens

she does like doing that doesn't she, haz?

3:46 pm

Haz1558

What stage have you reached, Ata?

3:46 pm

torgone

There not paying attention too they're punctuation over their.

3:46 pm

Haz1558

She just likes a bit of mischief now and again.

3:47 pm

Atalante

ermmmmmmm 69 left

3:47 pm

Haz1558

But you did get a late start.

3:47 pm

Atalante

yes, and I have had a headache migrainey thing most of the day

3:47 pm

Haz1558

And torgone has been very distracting with all those jokes.

3:48 pm

Dorens

and ate bad esso food

3:48 pm

Haz1558

And it is Friday.

3:48 pm

Atalante

yes, all very distracting from grid activities!

3:48 pm

Haz1558

(Where are we going with this?)

3:49 pm

torgone

I am still at 53 and I'm listless .. shifty and listless ..

3:49 pm

Haz1558

But devilishly handsome, torgone, don't forget that.

3:49 pm

Dorens

just got to 22. lethargic and listless

3:49 pm

torgone

Or is shiftless and listy ..

3:49 pm

jjks

Haz, the dog in your icon pic is just darling - looks a bit mischievous!

3:50 pm

Dorens

the famous spangles... mischievous?

3:50 pm

torgone

Time for new glasses Haz ..

3:50 pm

Haz1558

Spangle is a great pet. She's lovely company for me.

3:50 pm

Haz1558

Funnily enough, torgone, I have two new pairs ordered.

3:51 pm

Dorens

Tor, you are our heartthrob

3:51 pm

Atalante

I looked at that and thought you meant 2 new pairs of Spangles!

3:51 pm

torgone

That picture is 10 years old ..

3:52 pm

Haz1558

No! 2 pairs of reading glasses (2 for 1 offer) to replace the pair eaten by my house.

3:52 pm

torgone

she'd be pentaSpangled then ..

3:52 pm

Haz1558

Ah, but torgone, in our heart you stay forever young.

3:54 pm

torgone

I am a bit immature ..

3:54 pm

torgone

Oh YOUR heart ..

3:54 pm

Dorens

you are a man, yes?

3:54 pm

Haz1558

Well, in the words of Deputy Dawg, (too young to remember him, Ata?) 'The time has come for me to go'.

3:55 pm

Dorens

bye haz... me too. i am serious about cleaning out that drawer today. twenty words left.. they will be here after the sun goes down. night haz

3:55 pm

Atalante

yes! for once!!

3:55 pm

8:25 pm

Jellen

8:25 pm

redturtlehead

Oh no, Pini, is the poor dog already leaking butter?

8:25 pm

Pinikula

...and just took a (solid) dump on the carpet! OY!

Pinikula

8:26 pm

redturtlehead

11:32 pm

11:32 pm

rururocks

11:33 pm

jillibus

the first 2 fu words are obscure dialect (I hated this grid) - fu4/10 is fu + bullshit (sorry about that) - the nest is more so

11:33 pm

rururocks

drops his canvas kilt too...lol

11:33 pm

Trifioso

birdee - fu + abbreviation for cow poo, then that same word, but even more so, then fu that is joining nuclear atoms (or something like that)
