4:02 am

joshuavorbis

4:03 am

herinfernallady

:( Josh

4:03 am

mrpresident

car accidents are bloody harsh on the moral fibre

4:04 am

joshuavorbis

that's true - and there's the added convenience of having to find a new car

4:05 am

mrpresident

at least you are not 9 months pregnant! a friend was in an accident last week, no car... no way to hospital

4:05 am

herinfernallady

Damn Josh Glad you are ok

4:05 am

joshuavorbis

herinfernallady

4:08 am

joshuavorbis

mrpresident

I love new car smell! That is a sexy smell!

4:09 am

herinfernallady

OH.My b.fs mum asked what would we do if we got Pregnant. The responses ranged from Sell it on ebay, sell it for slave labour give it Brangalina. Silly answers for an obvious NO answer

4:09 am

mrpresident

My daughter will never go out with a boy with a new car... she loves new car smell too! *weakness*

4:11 am

mrpresident

well infern... you never know!

4:11 am

herinfernallady

ack

4:12 am

joshuavorbis

if i got pregnant, i would sell it to the tabloids and buy myself a new car with the proceeds

4:12 am

herinfernallady

I would rather become a nun

4:12 am

herinfernallady

HEHEH JOSH

4:12 am

mrpresident

josh, there is a 'guy' that did that!

4:12 am

mrpresident

h

4:13 am

mrpresident

he was a woman, had everything "extroverted" but kept his womb. Got IVF and had a baby! ta da!! instant media money

4:15 am

mrpresident

you might have to infern

4:15 am

joshuavorbis

i dated a girl who later became a nun

4:16 am

cool girl

i hope that wasnt a reflection on you josh

4:16 am

o-o

perhaps better than dating a nun who later became a girl

4:16 am

mrpresident

better than going lesbian hey? being inlove with god is a good enough reason

4:16 am

joshuavorbis

the curious case of button superior

4:17 am

joshuavorbis

actually i take it as fodder for pride - i got to her before jesus did

4:18 am

o-o

and that certainly is a matter of pride

4:18 am

herinfernallady

It is terribly difficult to reconstruct a penis than it is to make a vagina

6:14 am

crosshair

6:14 am

sandyloo

6:17 am

Aussieme

6:17 am

sprite

6:17 am

TheLegend

here, here, sprite...lets hunt him down and f*** him up

6:17 am

some people cannot stand it when other people have a good time or enjoy themselves. That can be reason enough.

6:18 am

Aussieme

I don't know Sandy.... It's such a shame that the few spoil it for the many...

6:18 am

crosshair

like sandra bullocl??..mosy guys would crawl over broken glass to have the joy of dying at her feet...well not that much but she is cute

6:18 am

Aussieme

You know what.... It was probably some Troll that Dr_God had struck out before !

6:18 am

sprite

6:20 am

sandyloo

Stupid parents!

sandyloo

6:32 am

Eva

6:34 am

suefrad625

and her daughter

6:34 am

sandyloo

ten gold stars to the BBC for employing her!!

6:34 am

suefrad625

how will she deal with real world diversity later in life

6:34 am

sprite

not the kids indeed. They would accept it as a matter of fact, or of innocent curiosity.

6:34 am

lil*monkey

hi everyone!

6:34 am

sprite

hey lil :)

6:34 am

Aussieme

What gets me is this...... Isn't she just a lovely role model for children ?? Won't all the little kiddies who have one arm look and say "see, we could be like her too !"

sandyloo

There are a lot of people who face all sorts of adversity in life. People like her inspire those people

6:36 am

sprite

yes Aussie, and all kids with both arms but other handicaps, or challenges in their lives. Showing somebody with courage and determination is a great thing for the watchers.

6:36 am

sandyloo

I will tell Nicky about her and maybe that will help her face her problem

6:36 am

sprite

you smell great, crossy. We might eat you still.

6:37 am

sprite

good idea, sandy.

6:37 am

Aussieme

Yeah, it's lunchtime here Crossy, and you smell so good !!

6:37 am

crosshair

Oh gramma, I am so sorry about Miss Lily

8:52 am

JBV

very sad, gramma - sorry to hear about your dear horse

10:02 am

Anniebrook

bichon, best excuse

10:03 am

NonoNanette

MLF I fe** on the ice

NonoNanette

i should have served a big ol' tuna with that lol

10:05 am

MLFAN17

peri i am missing two TH words as well

10:15 am

Haz1558

You're probably missing the first th5/12 and th6/21. The first th5/12 is an anagram of the old fashioned th5/12 meaning 'your'

10:16 am

periwinkle

Indeed, those were the ones I was missing, thanks Haz

10:16 am

Haz1558

You're welcome.

Dorens

10:22 am

Haz1558

Hello chiley, nice to see you!

10:22 am

hurshy

i kept thinking i would need a double-r to build anything off that cause i was thinking of the past tense and the gerund.

10:22 am

NonoNanette

**
FIREWOKS **

10:22 am

chiley

I must go google this George guy.

10:22 am

Congratulations Nono.

10:22 am

periwinkle

I have 8 te, 5 th, 10 ti,6 to, and 8 tr

10:22 am

Haz1558

Chiley, George Fenetre doesn't exist. The only George worth googling is Mr Clooney.

10:22 am

periwinkle

yay for NoNo

10:23 am

Dorens

yay for nono and chiley- bye all. time to try to be productive. oh i am laughing at that..

10:23 am

NonoNanette

10:23 am

Haz1558

10:23 am

periwinkle

thanks, Haz, I have that one

10:24 am

hurshy

or who cans things

10:24 am

chiley

Well, yes, I agree that Mr. Clooney has no equal.

10:24 am

hurshy

(same word)

10:24 am

chiley

Google isn't finding him anyway

10:24 am

FMitch

hi all :) this isnt who you think it is

10:24 am

Haz1558

No, it's Ata Hari!

10:24 am

FMitch

yay!! how did you know?

10:25 am

mama2maddie

28 to go..time for a break

10:25 am

NonoNanette

hi Ata!

10:25 am

periwinkle

thanks NoNo

10:25 am

hurshy

haz doesn't mean he doesn't exist compared to clooney, he literally does not exist - it was an accident of dorens excited typing that created george fenetre.

10:25 am

Haz1558

I'm skilled in the art of keyboard detection. The way you strike your keys.

10:25 am

chiley

Ok. I give up. Who is this guy? I couldn't find him on google nor yahoo.

10:25 am

periwinkle

Hello there, Ata Hari :D

10:25 am

FMitch

you mean I don't make spelling mistakes?

10:25 am

chiley

Oh dear.....well that explains it

10:26 am

FMitch

Ha blooming Ha Ataaaa

10:26 am

Haz1558

Well, there is that.

10:26 am

Haz1558

Although you did miss out an apostrophe in your initial isn't which made me wonder.

10:26 am

periwinkle

I am missing a te, ti and to :(

10:26 am

FMitch

LOL from both of us!

10:27 am

Haz1558

Other babblers will think that you have morphed into a combo of Ata and FM.

10:27 am

hurshy

why does ata joining fmitch cause fmitch to have no picture?

10:28 am

Haz1558

Ata has leeched the pictures from FM.

10:28 am

FMitch

I weeeel steeeeeal ur pictures

10:28 am

hurshy

i didn't know she was so parasitic

10:28 am

Haz1558

There was a very worrying development last week when Ata's brains were draining away. FM is probably trying to effect a cure.

10:28 am

FMitch

OK Ata is no longer allowed near my keyboard
TTFN!!xx

10:29 am

Haz1558

Bye FM and Ata!

10:29 am

hurshy

well, i'm off too, want to do some things. ttfn!

10:30 am

chiley

Haz, last time I was here you were saying you've been keeping your head down. I wondered if someone was strafing you?

10:30 am

Haz1558

No, not exactly, chiley.

10:31 am

Haz1558

Bye hurshy (sorry, was in the kitchen)

10:31 am

periwinkle

Haz1558

There are three hi4

10:32 am

periwinkle

for i words, I have in5, and in4x2 and in6

10:33 am

chiley

That's a relief. I thought you might take shelter out in Spangle's shed.

10:33 am

periwinkle

fleur is not accepted

10:33 am

Haz1558

You have them all. Are your boxes not grey?

10:34 am

periwinkle

missing an i, not gray

10:34 am

Haz1558

Oh no - things haven't got that bad! I just prefer to say nothing most of the time and just chat a little in my afternoon.

10:34 am

Haz1558

Sorry, two in 5 words

10:35 am

chiley

I see. That's why I usually stay quiet also.

10:35 am

Haz1558

There are probably scores of babblers sitting on their hands.

10:36 am

periwinkle

help with missing in5, I have within

10:36 am

sadie52

yea i got every last re sheesh

10:36 am

Haz1558

Look for in5 that moves very little

10:36 am

periwinkle

thanks Haz

10:37 am

Haz1558

You're welcome.

10:37 am

HarryHood

60 down...gotta go shovel

10:38 am

Haz1558

Is 'enjoy' the right thing to say?

10:38 am

periwinkle

20 left, need to check on laundry

10:38 am

HarryHood

:) shoveling rules :)

10:38 am

HarryHood

later

10:39 am

Vicuna

Hello, folks!

10:39 am

Haz1558

Hello Vicuna!

10:39 am

nelleon

well, I sit on my hands a lot, because they inevitably hit the return key at the wrong time!

10:39 am

Vicuna

Just came in from shoveling. Oof.

10:39 am

Vicuna

Another snow day. Bah. We are pathetic wimps around here.

10:39 am

Haz1558

Oh poor nelleon - and poor Vicuna!

10:40 am

Haz1558

You mean you don't think school should have been cancelled?

10:40 am

chiley

We're having a cold spell here in S. Florida. It will only be in the 60's today.

10:40 am

Vicuna

I never think school should be cancelled!

10:40 am

Vicuna

lol, chiley.

10:40 am

Haz1558

Can the twins of glory not help in the shovelling process or can their piano hands not be risked?

10:41 am

Haz1558

60s would constitute a summer's day here, just about.

10:41 am

nelleon

I remember those cold days, chil. loved them!

10:41 am

Michnick

No snow here and finding this grid a grrr pain!

10:41 am

Vicuna

Sure, they "helped" a lot! And as for their piano hands, piano lesson is cancelled as well. Now I, who have never had a piano lesson in my life, am on my own to prepare them for this recital! Sheesh.

10:42 am

chiley

I like the change too, but it's so odd to see people bundled up in big coats. Our low this a.m. was 47 and you would think people were going to freeze in their tracks.

10:43 am

Haz1558

They 'll be fine - you can always blame the snow.

10:43 am

Vicuna

Oh yeah. After all, their Glory will shine about, as always.

10:44 am

Haz1558

Exactly. Glory can't be stopped.

10:44 am

nelleon

I had the heat on twice in 4 years when we were in fla - and thenonly for an hour or so. It was heaven!

10:46 am

nelleon

not the heat, but the fact we didn't need it!

10:46 am

Vicuna

Why can't I tell you people about the tr4/4ful of birds outside my window? Because Enable just can't accept it, that's why.

10:46 am

Haz1558

I suppose you spend the money on air-conditioning that we spend on heat.

10:47 am

Flask1

Hi all....clues please for ANY of the fe6's....I must be suffering babble blindness!!

10:47 am

Haz1558

Not just of birds. Surely a tr4/4 in leaf is a tr4ful of leaves?

10:47 am

Haz1558

fe6/27 - a vegetable/herb

10:47 am

Haz1558

fe6/27 - an animal

10:47 am

Vicuna

Exactly. How many leaves did I have to rake last fall? At least 3 or 4 tr4-fuls.

10:47 am

nelleon

i guess so Haz

10:48 am

Haz1558

fe6/27 - structured the same as the animal, but finish with a different consonant

10:48 am

Flask1

animal Haz?

10:48 am

Vicuna

It's a what you get when you cross the mammal with the herb.

10:48 am

Haz1558

Vicuna, the queue to lodge complaints with enable is only about a mile long, you should take your place.

10:48 am

Haz1558

Flask, the kind of animal that might fe6 about to find things

10:49 am

nelleon

I'm thinking someone was smkin" some re6/27 when this grid was devised!

10:49 am

Vicuna

Haz, I'm actually getting near the front of the line already... from when I got in for my very first complaint three and a half years ago!

10:49 am

Haz1558

That would make interesting headlines. 'Babble creator stoned'. Take out of that what you will...

10:49 am

Flask1

now am totally bamboozled!!!....lol

10:50 am

nelleon

rofl!

10:50 am

Vicuna

We're much more likely to stone the creator of Enable than the creator of Babble.

10:50 am

Haz1558

Oh well done, Vicuna. You're very patient!

10:50 am

Flask1

ok...I have the animal....

10:51 am

mkg

hi michelle. we have glorious snow. it is so beautiful out!!!!!!!!!!

10:51 am

Haz1558

Excellent. I won't have to say anything about trouser legs. Change the final consonant.

10:51 am

mkg

how are you mich?

10:51 am

mkg

purim sameach michelle

10:52 am

Flask1

wild maybe?????

10:52 am

mkg

i know i am a week early but wishing you and yours a happy healthy purim.

10:52 am

Haz1558

Yes, it sounds like the adjective for wild.

10:53 am

Flask1

Happy purim???
yes Haz...thought so!

10:53 am

Vicuna

Our town was overrun with fe6 fe6's, devouring fe6?

10:54 am

Flask1

And my trouser legs are safe....for now....lol

10:54 am

Alexis Elise

Good morning everyone. How's the grid today?

10:54 am

Haz1558

It doesn't bear thinking about, Vi. What sort of effect did all the fe6/27 have on the fe6/27 fe6/27s?

10:54 am

Haz1558

Hello Alexis. It's a nice grid today.

10:54 am

Flask1

May I ask mkg what purim is please?

10:55 am

nrkii

hi all!

10:55 am

Flask1

lmao.....Haz!!

10:55 am

Vicuna

It just made them fl7! So that they could fl4 from the animal warden.

10:56 am

Haz1558

I'm sure it can't have been good for the in5/10 fe6/27.

10:56 am

Vicuna

Until they got fu4 and then fu6, and then they fe4 over.

10:57 am

Haz1558

I suppose those who didn't like fe6/27 just got th7/32 and th7/32

10:57 am

Flask1

Haz, do you know what purim is?

10:57 am

Vicuna

It made them fe4 quite in5/10.

10:57 am

Haz1558

I think it's a Jewish religious observance, Flask.

10:58 am

Flask1

maybe even a secret one?

10:58 am

JBV

i'm not jewish but i think it's a joyous jewish holiday, celebrated for and by children

10:58 am

Haz1558

As long as it didn't make them tr4/4 too often to the toilet.

10:58 am

JBV

hi everyone - snow day!!

10:58 am

nrkii

hi JBV

10:58 am

Haz1558

I don't think it's secret.

10:58 am

Haz1558

Hello JBV.

10:59 am

Vicuna

Hello, JBV and nrkii.

10:59 am

Vicuna

If it's meant to be a secret, they don't hide it very well! lol

11:00 am

Vicuna

It's the one about Esther.

11:00 am

Flask1

lol.....Well I asked the question very very quickly and received no answer!!

11:01 am

Vicuna

Okay, TOGs require sustenance. Off I go. Back later!

11:01 am

Haz1558

Maybe she was distracted by something else, Flask.

11:01 am

Flask1

Oh am not even gonna ask what she did?!?!?.....lolol

11:01 am

nrkii

bye Vicuna!

11:01 am

Haz1558

Bye Vi. Be sparing with the fe6/27, its effects are unknown.

11:01 am

Flask1

maybe!

11:01 am

Flask1

lolol....

11:01 am

Vicuna

Heroically seduced the king on behalf of her people, Flask! Bye, all!

11:02 am

Flask1

thanks Vi.....bye!

11:02 am

Haz1558

She took a year to get ready for a date, didn't she?

11:03 am

Flask1

honest!?!?!!?!!

11:03 am

Flask1

and it was in minutes....lolol

11:03 am

Flask1

over*

11:04 am

Haz1558

I must reread the story to get the details right.

11:04 am

Flask1

the things we learn in Babbleland!!!

11:05 am

Haz1558

And if we don't know it, we make it up.

11:05 am

Flask1

How is the Emerald Isle these days Haz?

11:05 am

Flask1

which makes it all the more fun!

11:06 am

Haz1558

It was nice earlier on but we've got rain now. It's not nearly as cold as it was in January, thank goodness.

11:06 am

Flask1

My son has just informed that Tina Turner is 70 Today!!!

11:06 am

Flask1

Oh I know.....we've had some lovely days too!

11:07 am

Haz1558

Honestly? She's looked the same for years.

11:07 am

Flask1

I know.....its hard to believe...

11:07 am

sadie52

get out 70?? that is hard to believe she looks darn good for that age

11:08 am

Flask1

doesn't she!!

11:09 am

Haz1558

She looks amazing for that age.

11:09 am

sadie52

yeppers

11:10 am

Flask1

well I have just googled her and she was born 26th Nov. 1939.....so its certainly not today.....lol

11:11 am

Flask1

but still looking amazing for 69 and a half!!

11:11 am

Haz1558

So she's nearly 70. What's a few months between friends?

11:11 am

sadie52

close enough to say she looks darn good lol

11:11 am

Flask1

oh yes!

11:12 am

Flask1

Jacula, i adore Judi Dench also, she is really talented.

8:27 pm

Jacula

She is, red. I think she's brilliant.

8:27 pm

redturtlehead

I think she should be better known in the US, but you know, shes not Brittney spears sooo.

8:28 pm

redturtlehead

Sometimes Americans have bad taste.

8:28 pm

Jacula

Has Britney sorted herself out yet? (I'm not one for celebrity news.)

8:28 pm

redturtlehead

I dont know, I am also nto that much for celeb news.

8:29 pm

Jacula

I think Dame Judi put her family life before Hollywood, and who can blame her? Anyway, she's highly acclaimed here.

8:30 pm

redturtlehead

I think she actually has such range that she's got to be very well known, I mean she has done serious drama, comedy, and I thought Broadway type stuff?

8:30 pm

Jacula

Sandra Bullock's lovely, too. Have you seen her in 'The Lake House'? Saw the film last week onTV and loved it, then bought the dvd.

8:31 pm

redturtlehead

Have not seen an actual film in ages.

8:31 pm

Jacula

drama, comedy, Shakespeare, broadway stuff, the lot, red.

8:31 pm

Minveryork

Hello all! I mentioned Sandra Bullock in my profile as a good actress.It is hard to pick a favorite one though

8:32 pm

Jacula

How come, red?

8:32 pm

Jacula

Hi Min. You're a Sandra B fan, too. Oh good.

8:32 pm

Minveryork

I was not thrilled with The Lake House,but do like her

8:32 pm

redturtlehead

I have to admit it is very difficult for me to sit still that long...

8:32 pm

redturtlehead

Hi Minver.

8:33 pm

Jacula

Red - I'm a bit that way myself, so I do understand. That's the beauty of SKY+ and dvds - you can pause them.

8:34 pm

Jacula

I loved the concept/storyline of 'The Lake House',Min. As a writer, it inrigued me and I found it faultless.

8:34 pm

redturtlehead

yes, i like the pause, and at times I do also really like the dark of the theatre etc, but its rare and I am saving pennies these days.

8:34 pm

Minveryork

Don't like Keanu Reeves also. His voice grates on me.

8:35 pm

redturtlehead

OkI must go to bed, nice to chat with everyone!!!! Poof

8:35 pm

Jacula

Red - I undeerstand that, too. There are so many shows and plays I want to see at the theatre over the next year and I want to book them. However, not sure I can afford all of them.

8:35 pm

Jacula

'Night red.

8:35 pm

redturtlehead

Oooh yes, its going to be a difficult year.

8:35 pm

redturtlehead

and now Poof, see you all maybe tomorro.

8:36 pm

Jacula

Min - I don't mind Keanu Reeves. It's Creepy Cruise that I can't stand.

8:36 pm

Minveryork

I like Tom Cruise.I guess that would be an example of an American having bad taste. Said earlier I liked him

8:37 pm

Jacula

Never seen the 'sex appeal' of either Keanu Reeves or Brad Pitt though.

8:37 pm

Minveryork

Bye redturtlehead! I will see you tomorrow in the log!

8:37 pm

Jacula

Nor, who's that guy from Gladiator?

8:37 pm

Minveryork

I can see the sex appeal w/Brad Pitt, but not Keanu.

8:38 pm

Minveryork

Russell Crowe

8:38 pm

Jacula

That's the one. Give me Sean Bean any day!

8:39 pm

jillibus

Gotta rush but wanted to put my oar in for Meryl Streep and Alec Guinness again

8:39 pm

Jacula

But, Russell Crowe in that film about John whathisname? The maths genius. Brilliant.

8:39 pm

Minveryork

Goodbye jillibus! I'll see you tomorrow in the chat log!

8:39 pm

Jacula

Hi and 'bye, jilli. Don't disagree with you on either of those.

8:40 pm

jillibus

Another choice of mine, Jac, was Judi Dench,lol!

8:40 pm

Minveryork

I like Sean Penn also even if he is a "bad" boy. I liked his Oscar speech for "Milk".I have not seen movie yet

8:40 pm

jillibus

Bye now... back after the flip

8:40 pm

Jacula

Of course it was, jilli. I'd have been surprised if you hadn't included her.

8:41 pm

Jacula

'Bye jilli.

8:41 pm

Jacula

Not seen the Sean Penn stuff, Min. Still trying to remember the name of the film I mentioned earlier.

8:41 pm

wildcat17

k ... missing 5 ... need help

8:41 pm

Minveryork

I don't like Mr. Penn's voice either but he is talented unlike Keanu Reeves. Easier to tolerate a voice with a good actor. Also like Tom Hanks and Robert Redford

Hope Feather's nose doesn't get ground down too much. Don't know how big it was to begin with. Cheaper than plastic surgery though, I guess. :-)

8:57 pm

Minveryork

They are both verb forms of et 6/18. One is present tense and other is past tense.Both use high point tile

8:57 pm

jmcnrick

so the et 8 ends with the high score tile?

8:57 pm

Jacula

No jmc - the high tile is the penultimate letter.

8:58 pm

jmcnrick

8:58 pm

I found 100 much earlier just drinking my first mug of tea. The other 31 came in my coffee break from gardening. Not trying to show off, but just trying to illustrate that playing this game DOES increase your word power. It also infuriates it at times, when the out of date Enable dictionary doesn't accept words you KNOW are words.

9:21 pm

Minveryork

Congratulations featherbee on fireworks! Way to go

9:22 pm

featherbee

what i find weird, jac, is when i'm playing scrabble, and I'll know some weird word is a word, but have no clue what it means or how I know it! I usually chalk it up to being a babble word.

One legend for the black mulberry tr4 that yields blood red fruits: Pyramus and Thisbe were two lovers whose parents forbade their union. They lived in adjoining houses and conversed secretly through a hole in the wall. They agreed to fl4 together, and were to meet at ~Ninus' tomb~ by moonlight. Thisbe arrived first. While awaiting her lover, a lioness that had killed an ox approached the tomb. Thisbe fled in fright, dropping her veil. The lioness tore up the veil and soiled it with blood. When Pyramus arrived, he found only the bloody garment. In despair, he killed himself. Thisbe, returning, found his dead body under the mulberry tree. She died of grief and the mulberry has ever since born blood-red fruit.

9:52 pm

Oh blimey! I had a right 'go' at my son earlier for picking on every word I said and trying to be 'clever' and 'better than me'. He was only trying to make the best of our language, as I had taught him. GRR. Somtimes it comes back on me.

10:19 pm

J. C.

It's only 4:18 in the morning . . .

10:19 pm

jmcnrick

31 here

10:19 pm

jmcnrick

so where is here J.C.

10:20 pm

J. C.

UK, jmcnrick.

10:20 pm

Pinikula

sounds like UK

10:20 pm

J. C.

Is, yes - Kent.

10:20 pm

jmcnrick

kool

10:20 pm

Pinikula

not getting it, min...tried all 4 te's

10:20 pm

J. C.

Going to buy an account here - quite liking this!

10:20 pm

jmcnrick

jacula is in UK too but farther north I think ;-)

10:20 pm

Pinikula

wow...that's a quick assimilation!!!

10:20 pm

stidgmere

Well, you know sometimes it is time to say goodbye and not fry the brain cells completely. it is 8:20 here and the evening is progressing nicely. I shall be ready for tomorrow and perhaps even have fireworks. The conversation is as good as the challenge of the grid.

10:21 pm

Pinikula

yeah, the grids aren't bad...it's the peeps that are awesome!! :)

10:21 pm

J. C.

Yes indeed - what are you doing up at this hour, Jacula? :P

10:21 pm

Pinikula

rock on, stidg! ;)

10:21 pm

jmcnrick

I come primarily for the conversation

10:21 pm

Jacula

As for the USA and it's 'tv and fast food culture', yes, if it was totally true, it would annoy the hell out of me. But it's not all true, though you do need to get your fuel comsumption down.

10:21 pm

jmcnrick

I loved being "here" for the inaugural and the super bowl

10:22 pm

stidgmere

J.C., it is nice you are coming on board. This is a wonderful way to wind down and get a breath of fresh air when you need it.

10:22 pm

Pinikula

so, min...got any other ideas on that re6/18?

10:22 pm

jmcnrick

I gave up driving to work for lent jacula doing what I can

10:22 pm

Minveryork

re 6/18 is re plus number after ni4/4 + vowel Pinikula

10:22 pm

J. C.

Yes, stidgmere - next best thing to walking my dog! :) Thank you . . .

10:22 pm

Jacula

J.C. yes, farther North than you. There IS life beyond Kent and the Watford Gap! LOL

10:22 pm

westford

pini is that the custard? re 6/18?

10:23 pm

stidgmere

Yes, I think the conversations during events are absolutely first rate. Our Australian friends suffered with the fires and the smell of the burning fires reached through their words to our own homes.

10:23 pm

Pinikula

a number of us walk our dogs, too, JC!! :) You're among friends!

10:23 pm

jmcnrick

true stid

10:23 pm

10:24 pm

westford

10:24 pm

J. C.

HAHAHA, Jacula - I'm well aware. I work and spend a lot of time in London. ;)

10:24 pm

jmcnrick

there is a sign on my office that says that so I know it it true: torture is bad

10:24 pm

Pinikula

* cry * I'm moving on to something else for now...

10:24 pm

Jacula

Go Pro. J.C.

10:24 pm

torgone

10:24 pm

10:25 pm

10:25 pm

jmcnrick

10:25 pm

cherlyq63

Pinikula

10:26 pm

stidgmere

The ti 5, 12 is something that takes a tenth of your earnings for your church. The next word is past tense of the church donation.

10:26 pm

Jacula

If it's Kent, there are some lovelu places there, and some very unlovely places, too.

10:26 pm

Minveryork

10:26 pm

Pinikula

stidgmere

The first te 6, 18 is the word above with the suffix, one who is.

10:28 pm

jmcnrick

what a terrible word

10:28 pm

J. C.

I will have a face and name soon, I think - I only created a free account so I could try this out, but I like it so much I'll probably buy a proper account! ;)

10:29 pm

Pinikula

no worries...

10:29 pm

J. C.

Only 24 words left - and I'm good and stuck! :P

10:29 pm

Jacula

J.C. that's what we all did in the first instance.

Pinikula

10:32 pm

jmcnrick

bye stid

10:32 pm

Jacula

Sometimes we are tired, sometimes we are p*ssed (as in had too much to drink), and sometimes we are ladies of a certain age who are besieged by night sweats.

10:32 pm

Pinikula

ROFL...jac...don't give away all of our secrets!!!!

10:32 pm

J. C.

I know, Pini - was being funny, I hoped? :P

Jacula

re5.10 (last) is the term for going back to the past with stuff.

10:38 pm

J. C.

Facebook? No, I don't have time for much like that. I am on Yahoo! 360 though, because it's simpler and I don't do much with it - just post blogs my webmistress helps me with.

10:38 pm

Pinikula

fire

10:38 pm

jmcnrick

ah fire

10:38 pm

Jacula

J.C. I also have a blog but it's by invitation only. What's your blog?

10:39 pm

J. C.

Mine isn't viewable to anyone except added friends wither, Jacula - or friends of their friends.

10:39 pm

jmcnrick

so has some clued it? should I go look on the archive?

10:39 pm

Pinikula

so unfair...Koda wants to play and I only have 1 word to scrape from the bottom of the pile...

10:39 pm

Pinikula

clued what, jac?

10:40 pm

Jacula

Facebook is fun if you remember not to post all of your real self on here, unless you get tripped up by your kids who are also on there.

10:40 pm

J. C.

I have a few blogs - two about my pets, past and present, one about an anti-fur demonstration I staged last summer and one is just a general one to my friends. I have more in the works, whenever I get any time to post!

10:41 pm

Pinikula

I might have to be right back...Koda needs to go out for a moment...

10:41 pm

J. C.

HAHAHA, I see - don't have any kids to worry about, except two furry ones with four legs and tails, who think they're human! ;)

10:41 pm

Jacula

Look forward to meeting you when you go Pro, J.C.

10:41 pm

Well, Jacula - you know, perhaps it's best that way! ;) HAHAHA!

10:43 pm

J. C.

Kidding - I'll fill in my profile once I go pro.

10:43 pm

Jacula

10:44 pm

Jacula

10:57 pm

Pinikula

10:57 pm

Nef

re+ I ***the candle to see where I was going

10:57 pm

J. C.

Although as I discovered, someone here is already using my first name - so I'll have to get a bit creative.

10:57 pm

Pinikula

you will? why not use the JC?

10:58 pm

jmcnrick

my thought too but my monkey was busy

10:58 pm

Pinikula

I don't think we have JC yet...

10:58 pm

J. C.

Because it's not that good . . .

10:58 pm

J. C.

Or am I just too picky? :P

10:58 pm

cherlyq63

10:58 pm

Pinikula

10:58 pm

Pinikula

10:58 pm

jmcnrick

you haven't let JC come into your life pini?

10:58 pm

Pinikula

r + 10-1 spelled backwards

11:01 pm

jmcnrick

poor nef

11:01 pm

Pinikula

Oh, JC...if you go pro and want to change your name, you can do so with the JC account and then ask Dr_God to change it for you...that way you don't have multiple accounts. :)

11:01 pm

Nef

really, jmc? I didn't know that!

11:02 pm

jmcnrick

now I have to look it up to be sure brb

11:02 pm
