1:09 am

Andree

1:09 am

Christine

Okay - I think likening Obama to BinLaden is tacky. My opinion, and not necessarily that of others, but BinLaden isn't exactly someone you'd want yoyr family member likened to .... whoo, exhausted myself.

1:09 am

VolleymomDee

I think this is a free country and folks can speak their mind... at least my ancestors fought for the freedom to speak

1:10 am

Andree

i am no fan of our prime minister but he is no terrorist

1:10 am

VolleymomDee

I may not even agree with what they say, but they may speak

1:10 am

1:28 am

bookwomen

My Mom has found stinky soap like Irish spring keeps the deer away. We do not have any deer here.

1:28 am

rbud

first time I've tried tulips, guess I'll have to put up a big fence!

1:28 am

jillibus

fence, andree

1:29 am

jillibus

I tried Irish Spring and everything else

1:29 am

Andree

jilli it would have to be a complete enclosure to keep them out and so not possible as i rent

1:29 am

jillibus

The deer here are very hungry

1:29 am

jillibus

so grow daffodils!

1:30 am

Andree

the whole place is fenced , they just run along the top of the fence and laugh at me

1:30 am

jillibus

deer fences have to be about 7 ft high

1:30 am

rbud

so far they've not nibbled on a little tree we planted last year, it's up front and the dog does her business all around it. I think it may keep them away.

1:30 am

Andree

i am addicted to growing veg jilli

1:30 am

sandr

wouldn't a twelve bore do the trick hehe!!!

1:31 am

rbud

do they not like daffodils, jilli? lol, sandr!!

1:31 am

Christine

Perhaps you could train your dog to mark her territory, all along the fence?

1:31 am

1:35 am

VolleymomDee

nm found it my missing s was sa 5/10

1:35 am

Roses6

Also, you can build low fences as long as the area is small, less than 5 feet wide/deep. They wont' leap into small spaces. Lots of advice on the web.

1:35 am

broll

another 5 at the end

1:35 am

VolleymomDee

ty

1:36 am

jillibus

lots of things deer "don't eat" they do eat here

Rose6 - have you seen Park's catalog? Lots of plants that are deer resistant.

1:36 am

VolleymomDee

1:36 am

now that's good to know, Roses - all my beds are prety narrow.

1:38 am

rbud

and yet tulips grew right across the road unmolested for years. maybe mine were special!

1:38 am

Roses6

No, haven't seen it. but I'll check it out. We bought a cabin a few years ago, and it's in the wilds. when we're not there the deer eat everything, so it's been a real challenge figuring out how to garden there.

1:39 am

Christine

Maybe they're too young to cross the road

1:39 am

VolleymomDee

LOL

1:39 am

jillibus

3:50 am

Haz1558

No thanks, I'm still on my first run through.

3:51 am

grannyrose

okay, i see lickety is on line, so maybe the clues will be up soon. i'll look in later. time for dinner here

3:52 am

Haz1558

Enjoy your meal!

4:01 am

Jacula

Good morning. Shame 'bumgas' isn't a word. It should be! :-)

4:02 am

Haz1558

Good morning, Jacula.

4:04 am

Jacula

Nice to see you, Haz. It's been ages.

4:04 am

Haz1558

I know - a combination of factors.

4:05 am

Haz1558

How are you? I had a little look at your blog a few days ago.

4:05 am

Yvo

Good Morning Haze so good to see you ,i miss seeing you

4:06 am

Haz1558

Good morning Yvo - nice to see you as well!

4:06 am

Jacula

I'm fine thanks, Haz. Will be getting into the swing of gardening again soon. You?

4:06 am

Jacula

PB for me. I said a word.

4:07 am

Jacula

I'll make a pot of tea while I'm in there.:-)

4:07 am

Haz1558

It'll take a bit longer for things to be ready to head outdoors. We're in the midst of decorating so I'm permanently sticky with paste.

4:08 am

Jacula

Oh no, Haz., you don't want to be covered with paste with soil and grass stuck to it.

4:08 am

Haz1558

Absolutely not.

4:09 am

Haz1558

So, Jac, is this you up to stay up for the day?

4:10 am

Jacula

Is it just one room you're doing or are you going through the whole house?

4:10 am

Jacula

I hope not to be at Babble all day, Haz. I have meatballs to make. LOL

4:10 am

Jacula

... and ironing to do. :-(

4:11 am

Haz1558

Well, you know what it's like. You do one room, and then it makes others look bad. We took the head staggers and put in a new bathroom (or at least two nice bathroom men did) and we've been reforming our bedroom as well.

4:12 am

Jacula

Oh, lucky you! I'd love a new bathroom suite.

4:12 am

FMitch

Good morning Haz and Jacs!

4:12 am

Haz1558

We decided that the time was right and thankfully it was all done very efficiently - noisy, but efficient.

4:13 am

Haz1558

Oh look! Good morning FM.

4:13 am

Jacula

Morning FM!:-)

4:13 am

FMitch

Had to pop in and say hello :)

4:13 am

lynxxx

Hello all. Head staggers Haz, you were shaking your head at the cost or is that some sort of constuction thingy?

4:13 am

Haz1558

The interesting thing about bathroom suites is that you don't need to worry about colour. They're all white. After that, the choice is mind-blowing.

4:13 am

Jacula

I'm glad it went well, Haz.

4:14 am

Jacula

We still have an avocado suite - a faded and battered one.

4:14 am

Haz1558

Hello lynxxx. 'Taking the head staggers' is an expression we use to indicate doing something impulsively.

4:14 am

FMitch

Hi lynxxx

4:14 am

Jacula

Hi lynxxx.

4:15 am

Haz1558

Jacula, avocado may come back in style if you hold out long enough. Just call it vintage - it seems to work with clothes.

4:16 am

Jacula

LOL Haz.

4:16 am

FMitch

LOL my batroom was all pink when I moved in.

4:16 am

Haz1558

Which suggests that you changed it?

4:16 am

FMitch

bathroom even!

4:17 am

bfsog

hey all

4:17 am

Jacula

Oh, poor you, FM. I've always hated pink b/room stuff.

4:17 am

Haz1558

Good morning bf

4:17 am

lynxxx

I see on all those UK 'house' shows people shuddering at the avocado suites...I quite like them. Nice with black and white

4:17 am

lynxxx

hi bfsog

4:17 am

Jacula

Hi bfs.

4:17 am

FMitch

Hi bf
Yes it got changed pretty quickly.

4:18 am

bfsog

no icon fm?

4:18 am

Jacula

lynxx - our avocado suite's been in place since the 70s and is very battered.

4:18 am

Haz1558

Do you get lots of the UK house shows? The ones that show a house being transformed in a matter of minutes are all LIES.

4:18 am

FMitch

No bf, I switched it off a while back, quite like being grey now.

4:19 am

Jacula

The small 2nd bathroom has a 'champagne' suite (i.e. cream), but that's okay and was only built 8 years' ago.

4:19 am

bfsog

one day we will all be grey

4:19 am

Haz1558

FM is the eminence grise around here.

4:19 am

lynxxx

I had our bath recoated...very successful - and cheap

4:19 am

Jacula

Not if our hairdressers can stop it, bfs!

4:19 am

lynxxx

Heaps Haz

4:20 am

hydra

Our house has a grey suite and every spot of soap and toothpaste shows. Oh for white!

4:20 am

FMitch

My hairdresser won't colour my hair

4:20 am

Jacula

That works on cast iron baths but not plastic.

4:20 am

Haz1558

Change your hairdresser, FM. Or else offer to pay...

4:20 am

Jacula

Sack your hairdresser, FM!

4:20 am

Jacula

Hi Hydra.

4:20 am

lynxxx

hi Hydra

4:20 am

Jacula

Same with the avocado, Hydra.

4:20 am

Haz1558

Hello hydra - white seems to be the way forward. I just hope we haven't put it in only for fashions to change straight away.

4:21 am

Jacula

Haz - I don't think white will ever be out of fashion.

4:21 am

FMitch

LOL Haz, actually I agree with him butI am getting so much grey now I may have to take some drastic action.
Hi hydra

4:21 am

Haz1558

You reassure me, Jac.

4:22 am

Haz1558

FM, just how drastic is the action you might take?

4:22 am

Jacula

You haven't had one of those square toilets have you, Haz? My friend had one back in the 70s, a royal blue suite, and it felt really weird to sit on. Bums aren't square.

4:22 am

Haz1558

No blue rinses. I'm begging you.

4:22 am

Jacula

Is FM going for the bald look maybe?

4:22 am

Haz1558

No, 'tis not square.

4:23 am

FMitch

Blue rinse! I think not *looks indignant*

4:23 am

Jacula

Purple rinse?

4:23 am

Haz1558

There's a relief.

4:23 am

Jacula

You could be like Phyllis from Corrie was and change your hair colour every week.

4:24 am

hydra

Hi Jac, Has, FMitch, lynxxx; it's a meeting of the old crowd. (Not as in age!) Anyone got a clue for the am5,16?

4:24 am

FMitch

eeek!

4:24 am

Haz1558

Oh, I remember her! She used to flirt outrageously with the old man. What was his name?

4:24 am

Jacula

Percy

4:24 am

FMitch

Can't help you hydra, haven't even started the grid yet

4:25 am

Haz1558

Percy Sugden?

4:25 am

Haz1558

He was always complaining about something, wasn't he?

4:25 am

Jacula

That's the fella.

4:26 am

hydra

Oh no! I was following Likety and it's Tuesday's list, not today's. Forget the am word then.

4:26 am

Haz1558

We're really going to show how old we are. I even remember the night Martha Longhurst died in the snug.

4:26 am

Jacula

LOL Hydra. Dippy old hippy!

4:26 am

Jacula

So do I, Haz.

4:26 am

hydra

So very true :-)

4:27 am

Haz1558

I was terribly impressed when they didn't play any music at the end.

4:27 am

FMitch

I don't remember that and I am of a similar age.

4:27 am

Jacula

... and when the train crashed on the viaduct. And when Harry Hewitt died on the day of Len's wedding.

4:27 am

hydra

Mr Grumpy went to the dump this morning only to find it had closed. He is now driving round with a carload of rubbish. Tee-hee!

4:27 am

Haz1558

You were probably practising your dance moves in your Greek tunic, FM.

4:27 am

Jacula

Closed for good, Hydra, or just closed at the moment?

4:28 am

FMitch

shhhh!

4:28 am

Haz1558

Have you seen the Victoria Wood Coronation Street sketch? It's brilliant - she plays Ena Sharples.

4:28 am

Jacula

Don't watch Corrie any more, nor Emmerdale.

4:28 am

hydra

Closed for good. Part of the rail expansion to Heathrow.

4:29 am

Haz1558

Corrie's the only one I watch, but it's going downhill rapidly. Too many young things cavorting about.

4:29 am

Jacula

Oh heck, Hydra. Is there another one to go to?

4:29 am

hydra

Well, having got a mere 64 words, I'd better b***** off and do some work.

4:29 am

FMitch

I must away, lovely to have seen you. Toodles!

4:29 am

Jacula

Has - No, I haven't seen the Victoria Wood sketch.

4:29 am

Haz1558

Bye FM - it's good to see you as well.

4:29 am

Jacula

'Bye FM & Hydra.

4:29 am

lynxxx

bye Hydra & FM

4:30 am

Haz1558

We couldn't live without our local dump. It's all beautifully organised, woe betide you if you don't dump stuff in the right places.

4:30 am

Haz1558

Jac - it's on Youtube, well worth seeing.

4:30 am

Jacula

Same as ours, Haz.

4:31 am

Jacula

I'll take a look, Haz. What's it called.

4:31 am

Haz1558

Notices all over the place. 'Rubble only. No plasterboard'. 'Clean, flattened cardboard only'

4:31 am

Haz1558

If you type in Victoria Wood, Coronation Street it should bring it up.

4:32 am

Jacula

I'll have a look later. Thanks.

4:33 am

Jacula

Today's phantom - squirrel.

4:33 am

Haz1558

I think you'll enjoy it - Julie Walters as Martha, someone else as Minnie Caldwell.

4:33 am

Jacula

I can imagine JW as Martha.

4:34 am

Jacula

I love her Mrs. Overall character, the way she moves slowly across the room with a tray full of cups etc.

4:34 am

Haz1558

She's a brilliant actress.

4:35 am

Jacula

She is.

4:36 am

Haz1558

The last thing I saw her in was about a woman's fight for voluntary euthanasia, it was very moving. She can make you cry tears of laughter or sorrow.

4:37 am

Jacula

I had to miss that prog., Haz, as it was on our SKY+ box when Sky recently did their replacements.

4:37 am

Jacula

Our box was one of the ones they thought might be faulty.

4:37 am

Jacula

I'm sure it'll be on again, though.

4:38 am

Haz1558

It was very well done, so if it does come on again, take the chance to see it.

4:38 am

Haz1558

Have you got the new sky box sorted out?

4:39 am

Jacula

She played my friend Deric's late wife Diana in Wide-eyed & Legless. (Thora Hird played his Mum). He was very pleased with the interpretation.

4:39 am

Haz1558

As in Deric Longsden?

4:40 am

Jacula

Yes, Haz. They changed the box. The new one's failed to record when pre-set a couple of times, so we may have to get them back to look at it.

4:40 am

Jacula

Deric Longden. Yes, Haz.

4:40 am

Haz1558

We have the video of 'Lost for words' - talk about wonderful acting from Thora Hird!

4:41 am

Haz1558

How interesting that you should know the people behind the story! He comes across as a very caring person.

4:41 am

Jacula

That's a great film, too, Haz. Deric's Mum to a tee.

4:41 am

Jacula

Have you read his books? Thermal the cat will have you in stitches.

4:42 am

Jacula

Deric's a lovely man, Haz. So's his 'new' wife, Aileen.

4:42 am

Haz1558

No - never read any of his books, but I should look out for them.

4:42 am

Jacula

a lovely woman, not man, that is. LOL.

4:43 am

Jacula

I think you'd like his books, Haz.

4:43 am

Haz1558

I certainly got the impression of him being a real gentleman - and his new wife being lovely as well. I liked that his humour and his impatience came across so that he was very human. His mother was quite a character!

4:44 am

Haz1558

I'll look out for them, Jac. More to add to the reading list!

4:44 am

Jacula

I got a surprise the other day. I'd ordered A McCall Smith's new book, Tea Time for the Traditionally Built and they sent me Miracle at Speedy Motors instead.

4:44 am

Haz1558

Is Miracle at Speedy Motors not an earlier one?

4:45 am

Jacula

Yes. Fortunately, I haven't read it yet.

4:46 am

Haz1558

I tend to get a bit mixed up with the sequence of things. It's not as easy to keep track of the Katy books. What Katy did. What Katy did next. You can't go wrong with those sorts of titles.

4:46 am

Haz1558

I once gave husband one of the No 1 Ladies Detective stories to read. He handed it back 'Nothing happened.'

4:47 am

Jacula

True, Haz, re the titles.

4:47 am

Jacula

I suppose we can't all like the same things. Men tend to prefer mor action/blood/mayhem.

4:48 am

Jacula

*more

4:48 am

Haz1558

Maybe his thinking is that you can read any of the books in isolation and not worry about the sequence.

4:48 am

Jacula

Could be.

4:48 am

redturtlehead

I have to say hi and I see chat is discussing McCall Smith and mysteries! I enjoy those books, just finished Blue shoes of happiness....

4:49 am

Jacula

Hi red. Haven't read that one yet.

4:49 am

Haz1558

Hello red. Yes, they're very enjoyable, gentle books.

4:49 am

lynxxx

hi Red

4:50 am

redturtlehead

Definitely gentle. and hi jacula, haz and lynxx.

4:51 am

Haz1558

Alexander McCall Smith was interviewed on TV recently and his explanation for the books not having complicated plots or dreadful things happening, was that enough horror was around us in real life, this was a way of escaping to a gentler place.

4:52 am

Jacula

I read on his website that he's giving 44 Scotland Street a rest for a while. Will poor Bertie ever get past 6?

4:52 am

Jacula

He's right, Haz.

4:52 am

lynxxx

ain't that the truth

4:53 am

Haz1558

I just want poor Bertie to be rid of Irene. Could she not run away with Dr Fairburn and leave the child to grow up happily?

4:53 am

Jacula

Is the new baby's Dr. Fairburn's?

4:54 am

Jacula

And why do they keep forgetting where they've parked their car?

4:54 am

Haz1558

Ulysses? That's the lovely thing, you're left wondering whether it could really be.

4:55 am

Haz1558

I sometimes forget where I've parked my car half an hour ago.

4:55 am

Jacula

LOL, Haz.

4:55 am

Haz1558

The number of times I've been about to report a stolen car.

4:56 am

Jacula

*grinning madly*

4:56 am

Jacula

in the PB box again.:-(

4:56 am

Haz1558

Thankfully, I've always managed to restrain myself.

4:58 am

Jacula

You'll have to tie something to the aerial so you can see it - like you do on a crowded beach so kids don't get lost.

4:59 am

Haz1558

The good thing is that it's a bright colour, but being small it tends to get hidden behind all these huge people carriers and jeeps people seem to need to drive.

4:59 am

Jacula

Oh, don't start me off on that subject Haz!

5:00 am

Haz1558

So, Jac, what do you think of people driving people carriers and jeeps?

5:00 am

Jacula

*claps hand firmly over mouth*

5:01 am

Haz1558

And have you always felt this way?

5:01 am

Jacula

*nods*

5:01 am

Haz1558

(Knowing nod of recognition)

5:02 am

Haz1558

Will we change the subject?

5:02 am

Jacula

*nods*

5:02 am

Haz1558

(Nodding back in understanding)

5:04 am

Haz1558

So, we've covered bathrooms, books and big cars. What's left?

5:04 am

Jacula

*removes hand from mouth so she can type two-handed again*

5:04 am

Eva

Good morning. Things are getting slow and weird again.

5:04 am

Haz1558

Yes, I find typing when you're sitting on your hands really difficult.

5:04 am

Eva

Not you guys (-: the server

5:05 am

Jacula

Yes. Stabbing at the keyboard with your nose is both painful and inaccurate.

5:05 am

lynxxx

hi Eva

5:05 am

Haz1558

Good morning, Eva. So glad you explained!

5:05 am

Jacula

Hi Eva. Thanks for explaining.

5:09 am

Haz1558

Well, look at the time - I must get a move on and get something else done. Good to talk to you all and I'll be back later. Bye!

5:09 am

lynxxx

Enough for tonite, off to nurse this cold a bit more. Bye all - have a good day

5:10 am

Jacula

'Bye Haz. Lovely to see you.

5:10 am

Jacula

'Bye llynxx.

5:10 am

Haz1558

You too - bye!

5:10 am

Jacula

60 left to find. They can wait until later. I'd better get some work done, too.

8:15 am

Merk

This grid is slow to open up tor me. I think I must need breakfast or coffee first

8:16 am

Haz1558

Rururocks announced that he was going to quit babble in the New Year to pursue other interests. It lasted 2 days before he was sucked back in again.

8:16 am

EvaNadine

hah

8:16 am

Uniquity

Aha! If he had succeeded, he would have pulled a Uni. Only I didn't announce it, I just disappeared, lol.

8:16 am

LoriP

lol, that's the evil of Babble.

8:17 am

EvaNadine

*says Uni, who is here babbling right now*

8:17 am

Haz1558

He got lots of tributes and heartfelt pleadings not to go. It was quite touching and then hilarious when he didn't disappear at all.

8:17 am

LoriP

Your issue was internet Uni, soon as it behaved, where did you jump back in????? <----- ***cough***

8:17 am

Merk

is anyone else struggling with this grid?

8:17 am

Uniquity

Well. I went from August 08 - jan/feb 09!

8:18 am

Uniquity

Merk, this grid is awful. Heinous and disgusting, oughtn't even exist at all.

8:18 am

Haz1558

Hello Merk. It needs a bit of work, very few sequences.

8:18 am

LoriP

It's a hard slog Merk, you're not alone.

8:18 am

Marc Freeman

Good morning, Lori could you explain the py's are the 3 al pl4/5? Also could you give a clue on the pl6/24 I have the 4/7, thanks

8:19 am

Merk

That is so good to know. I thought it was just me.

8:19 am

EvaNadine

im up to 65 words at the moment. :)

8:19 am

LoriP

Missing 1 stoopid h, for hours now. Is there more than the 1 7?

8:20 am

LoriP

pl 6 is the lining of the lung Marc

8:20 am

Uniquity

I am 44 in and tempted to list, as I can't think of anything.

8:20 am

Haz1558

Just one 7 and an 8

8:20 am

LoriP

Go Ehva!

8:20 am

Merk

I expect that with short grids, but one of 194 should have some easy ones. Hitting the wall at 9 words? Yikes!

8:20 am

Haz1558

Keep going, Merk, they will emerge blnking into the sunlight.

8:20 am

EvaNadine

feel free to share the H7 and H8 :)

8:21 am

LoriP

py + opposite of out, then plural

8:21 am

LoriP

An 8? Aha. Thanks Haz.

8:21 am

Haz1558

he8 - looks like a combination of a flavoursome plant and an operatic solo

8:21 am

LoriP

he 7 is caused from lifting things sometimes EhVa, 6/7 combo

8:21 am

LoriP

heh, thanks Haz. Wouldn't have found that

8:22 am

EvaNadine

thanky. :) up to 71 words now!

8:22 am

Haz1558

You're welcome.

8:22 am

LoriP

Tried to extend it in other unacceptable words though, that should have counted for something at elast. :)

8:22 am

LoriP

Got the ps' now Marc?

8:23 am

Merk

Yes, I just doubled quickly to 18, but with some good clues and I peeked in on.

8:23 am

Marc Freeman

Yes Lori thanks, had to stop and get the he7 and 8

No problem.

8:27 am

Uniquity

My heavens. Only 56 words in and I have been trying for an hour.

8:28 am

Haz1558

Isn't it good that it isn't timed?

8:28 am

LoriP

I have 2 7's from the d. Any more big ones?

8:28 am

LoriP

This grid is poopy, isn't it.

8:28 am

Uniquity

So very good, it's true.

8:29 am

Haz1558

No, they're the biggest, Lori.

8:29 am

Marc Freeman

yes but I would like to go back and finish old grids like you can in Suduko. As anyone asked why that is not possible. Maybe get half credit for finishing late.

8:30 am

EvaNadine

ive got the long-lasting DU7, hints on the other?

8:30 am

Haz1558

Why not suggest it to Dr-G? You'd have to do it on your own, no chat hints.

8:31 am

LoriP

heh, you can add sometimes vowel to the 6/7 for another 7. wheeeeee

8:31 am

LoriP

da 4/8 to smear? extend it like mad

8:31 am

EvaNadine

guess i need to get the 6-7 :)

8:32 am

LoriP

I'm missing a d, but that gave me the 4, a 5 a 6/7/7 Ehva

8:32 am

Haz1558

That second da7 would describe my attempts at painting.

8:32 am

LoriP

lol Haz.

8:33 am

LoriP

I have 11 da's and 8 du's. Any thoughts?

8:33 am

Haz1558

Oops, and thanks Haz

Haz1558

8:35 am

LoriP

Missing 4 a's, so I'll continue to ignore that. To the M! I guess.

8:36 am

smcarrier

Thanks Haz!!

8:37 am

Haz1558

You're welcome, sm.

8:51 am

Haz1558

You should have held out and made it far more complicated, Lori.

8:51 am

NonoNanette

lori, you and some of the others are throwing out some great clues.... I'm all the way up to 79 now :)

8:52 am

LoriP

Yea Nono! Welcome back

8:52 am

Judi

Clues for dummies. Just my speed. Keep it up, Lori.

8:52 am

Haz1558

Hello Nono.

8:52 am

NonoNanette

hi Haz!

8:52 am

LoriP

Haz, perhaps like og + 2 other letters near the o?

8:53 am

Uniquity

d + Mixed up deer + backward king....

8:53 am

Haz1558

Always introduce something backwards, that helps to bamboozle.

8:53 am

Uniquity

DEODAR!

8:53 am

Haz1558

Somebody shoot Uni.

8:53 am

LoriP

I don't get it

8:57 am

Oops! last 3 letters of the city in Latvia ***sigh***

Marc Freeman

Marc Freeman

Haz1558

No blood drawn, I hope?

9:00 am

Uniquity

You getto your room, Kim Basinger! She's my Mum :)

9:01 am

Uniquity

Only mine. She is fine.

9:01 am

LoriP

lol Marc, yu've found me out. lol

9:02 am

LoriP

And whoever has stlen my "o" if you just give it back, I won't ask any questions or press charges.

9:02 am

Uniquity

This ba 7/8 - is it normal?

9:02 am

LoriP

Define normal? It's the one doing it....

9:02 am

Haz1558

Absolutely. Women look for them all the time.

9:03 am

harpjane

thanks Lori

9:03 am

Atalante

haaaaaaaz! lori! uni!!!!

9:03 am

Haz1558

Ata!

9:03 am

Haz1558

(Note the restraint - though glad, glad, glad to see you)

9:03 am

LoriP

Ata Hari!!!!!!! <----extra!

9:03 am

Uniquity

**swooned at sight of glorious Dr Ata**

9:04 am

EvaNadine

ata!

9:04 am

Atalante

*hugs everyone madly*

9:04 am

Haz1558

Poor Uni. That blood loss to Emma has done for her again.

9:04 am

LoriP

Haz, one of these days we'll lure you to the dark side of !!!!! abuse

9:04 am

Marc Freeman

Uni ba7/8 is a compound word and then pl

9:05 am

Haz1558

People will know it's not me when the punctuation goes into overdrive.

9:05 am

Atalante

blood loss to Emma???!!!!

9:05 am

Judi

*waves at Ata* Don't mind me. Just chopped liver over here.

9:05 am

Marc Freeman

I can get the 7's and 8's but not the 5's need a clue for the second sa5/14, please

9:05 am

NonoNanette

hi Ata!

9:05 am

Atalante

hi nono! hi judi! hi eva!

9:05 am

Uniquity

No blood loss to Emma!! Slight claw loss (on purpose) and a bit of fur by accident.

9:05 am

Haz1558

Emma was having her claws clipped, only blood loss was Uni's.

9:06 am

LoriP

Oooh Judi, you're patÃ©? :D

9:06 am

Atalante

ohhhhh ... that. dangerous, that.

9:06 am

Haz1558

sa 5/14 - like the long family story with a vowel inserted right in the middle.

9:06 am

Uniquity

At least I didn't shear her fur *snicker*

9:06 am

Marc Freeman

Anyone ever going to organize a babble convention?

9:06 am

Haz1558

No, nor post pictures of the indignity.

9:07 am

Haz1558

Several meet-ups have happened in various places, Marc, not sure about the logistics of getting people together from so many different places.

9:07 am

Atalante

did I post the really really bad photo? seeing as you're all here, let me find it ...

9:07 am

Marc Freeman

Thanks got it haz

9:08 am

Haz1558

You're welcome, Marc.

9:08 am

Uniquity

Only if logistics is code for cost...

9:08 am

Haz1558

Don't forget to introduce the photo with a warning 'People of a dog-loving nature should avert their eyes'

9:09 am

LoriP

We could all met on the internet, like in a chat room. Oh wait...... :D

9:09 am

Judi

That would be fun, Marc. We're global, so some of us are far flung from others. Perhaps a virtual convention - big screens, celebrity hosts, etc.

9:09 am

LoriP

LOL Judi, maybe Jon Stewart could emcee?

9:09 am

Atalante

there. note the zig-zag patterns ...

9:10 am

Haz1558

Oh, Ata, that's shameful.

9:10 am

Marc Freeman

LoriP could be the celebrity host

9:10 am

Atalante

see why no-one saw till now??

9:10 am

Uniquity

We would need one celeb from each country. I vote Ed from BareNakedLadies for Canada. Or Leonard Cohen.

9:11 am

Uniquity

Oh my! Poor Hobbit. She needs many hugs...

9:11 am

Haz1558

It's perfectly understandable, Ata. Only pictures taken from the other side have been available up to now.

9:11 am

chiley

That poor dog looks like it just wants to hide it's head in shame.....Hello Babblers

9:11 am

Haz1558

Hello chiley.

9:12 am

Atalante

I don't mind people seeing now cos her fur has grown a bit now and she looks almost respectable again!

9:12 am

chiley

Hi Haz...long time no see

9:12 am

Haz1558

Whereas Spangle, though forced to sleep in a kennel, is sporting a professional haircut.

9:12 am

NonoNanette

hi chiley

9:12 am

Haz1558

I know, chiley, it's been a while. I just felt like chatting today, so here I am.

9:12 am

harpjane

we should have an icon day for "the most famous person from your home town"

9:13 am

Atalante

lucky Glitterata!

9:13 am

Uniquity

Emma still has a barren belly, but that was the vets fault. Made her a lady.

9:13 am

LoriP

Is that even legal Ata?

9:13 am

Haz1558

I'd be able to put up Liam Neeson for that icon day.

9:13 am

harpjane

I'd do either Allen VIzzutti or Mike Mansfield

9:13 am

LoriP

G'd morning chiley

9:13 am

harpjane

(or i suppose i could do the Unibomber)

9:13 am

Uniquity

Lori is the most famous person from my hometown. Although I've got several of those, so who knows?

9:13 am

Atalante

poor Emma, is her fluff starting to grow back yet?

9:14 am

Atalante

I'd have Bob Geldof

9:14 am

Uniquity

Hey, Bob Geldof! Yay Ata's hometown!

9:14 am

NonoNanette

jane thats a good icon idea

I could claim Mark Twain as he lived here for a time and is burried here

9:15 am

Judi

My Babble keeps locking up, Dammit. Have to keep exiting out and re-opening.

9:16 am

Haz1558

That K9 dictionary sounds about right, chiley.

9:16 am

chiley

DEAFNESS: This is a malady which affects dogs when their person wants them in and they want to stay out. Symptoms include staring blankly at the person, then running in the opposite direction, or lying down.

9:16 am

Judi

Ata - poor dog looks rather tragic. Perhaps professional groomers next time rather than sheep shearers?

9:16 am

Atalante

yep, Bob shops in the local Tesco

9:16 am

bichon

lol Chiley and so true. How about WHINING, any definition of that.

9:16 am

harpjane

BATH : If you find something especially good to roll in, humans get jealous, and they use this degrading form of torture to get even.
Be sure to shake only when next to a person or a piece of furniture.

LEAN: Every good dog's response to the command "sit!", especially if your person is dressed for an evening out. Incredibly effective before black-tie events.

BUMP: The best way to get your human's attention when they are drinking a fresh cup of coffee or tea.

9:18 am

Haz1558

Have a good time, Marc, keep an eye out for Lori.

9:18 am

Marc Freeman

9:20 am

Marc Freeman

Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr, plus Donovan and Sheryl Crow, Jerry Seinfeld and Penelope Cruz. It is the David Lynch Foundation concert. First time Paul and Ringo have played together in 25 years. Go to www.davidlynchfoundation.org.

9:20 am

Haz1558

It sounds like whoever compiled the dictionary for dogs needs the Dog Whisperer!

9:20 am

Judi

Way cool, Marc. Enjoy. Where is the concert happening?

9:21 am

Haz1558

Hope you enjoy it, Marc. I'm old enough to remember Donovan and the Beatles first time around.

9:21 am

Marc Freeman

Radio City Music Hall

9:21 am

bichon

If our dogs didn't have these "charming" traits, what would we talk about?

9:21 am

harpjane

Wow, that sounds awesome! I really like David Lynch. Glad to hear he does something like that!

9:21 am

Judi

Wow. Sounds like a once-in-a-lifetime event. *jealous*

9:21 am

Atalante

cats!

9:22 am

Uniquity

Let's do talk about cats.

9:22 am

harpjane

Twin Peaks episodes dictated my schedule in the 80's

9:22 am

NonoNanette

cats are their own master

9:22 am

Atalante

mine too, harp

9:22 am

Judi

Cats rule, dogs drool.

9:22 am

harpjane

pl6?

9:22 am

Marc Freeman

He is trying to raise money to teach one million kids in the inner cities TM. They have done some test schools in SF with great results.

9:22 am

Haz1558

Not all dogs drool.

9:23 am

Haz1558

pl6 - think lungs and latin ending

9:23 am

Atalante

Spangle would never drool. Far too ladylike

9:23 am

harpjane

good cause!

9:23 am

Uneaixoise

huge Twin Peaks fan here too, harp!

9:23 am

Judi

I know. I love both dogs and cats. Twice the love and shedding.

9:23 am

Atalante

do hamsters drool?

9:24 am

harpjane

is he a TM practicer himself?

9:24 am

Haz1558

Never. I hated that Beethoven film because of all the drool.

9:24 am

LoriP

Down to 31, need a mental health break. BBL have a good one all. "Specially Marc ***wink wink***

9:24 am

harpjane

I hate to think that some of his ideas came to him during meditation!

9:24 am

Haz1558

See you later, Lori.

9:24 am

Marc Freeman

yes, but Haz did not get the sc5/14. Thought your clue was obvious and when I plugged in the three letter that it should of been it did not work

9:24 am

harpjane

thanks for the pl

9:24 am

NonoNanette

take care Lori

9:24 am

grant

pl6- lung structures

9:25 am

Atalante

bye lorikins!

9:25 am

Haz1558

sc5/14 - It's the same word as what you get with a wound, but put an extra vowel in towards the end.

9:25 am

Marc Freeman

I know Harp that is frightening. I almost used a word on the grid. But he did most of his stuff prior to meditation he says.

9:25 am

Uniquity

My hamster does not drool. He is one today, so getting on in life. I must make im a wee cane.

9:26 am

Atalante

it's Jake's birthday? HAPPY BIRTHDAY HAMMY!!

9:26 am

Judi

Hamster birthday party for Uni's rodent!

9:27 am

Glad to hear that, I think, Marc! ("my log has something to say....."

9:27 am

Marc Freeman

Thanks Haz had a different letter at the end.

9:27 am

Haz1558

He should have an extra helping of gr5/16 for his birthday.

9:27 am

Haz1558

You're welcome, Marc.

9:27 am

Uniquity

Poor guy is sleeping through all the celebrations.

9:28 am

Uniquity

I'll make him a carrot shaped like a cake. He'll go nuts for it. Maybe a bit of ice cream, lol.

9:28 am

Atalante

awwwww

9:29 am

Judi

Do hamsters like ice cream?

9:29 am

Haz1558

What will you do for Emma's birthday? A cake shaped like a mouse?

9:29 am

Uniquity

Jake does. BIG fan. I have a pic of him and Emma (the cat) sharing ice cream drippings.

9:30 am

NonoNanette

of course Haz with catnip frosting

9:30 am

Uniquity

Em doesn't like mice. Her birthday is two days after mine, I'll make us a cheesecake!

9:30 am

Atalante

mouse cheesecake. haz will have a recipe

9:30 am

Uneaixoise

Today is the birthday of my precious springer -- no longer with us . . . I used to take him out for a cheeseburger every year on his special day! :-)

9:30 am

harpjane

(trying to wrap my brain around a hamster birthday....)

9:30 am

Haz1558

I'm a very bad pet owner. I know Spangle was born in November but don't know what date.

9:31 am

harpjane

(no, make the hamster dance stop!)

9:31 am

Uneaixoise

haz, I now have 3 rescue dogs -- your guess is as good as mine re bdays! LOL

9:31 am

harpjane

I don't usually know when my pets are born, they just show up in my life and inform me that they are going to live here now

9:31 am

Uniquity

Haz, it helps when both of your pets are under one. Jake's I made up based on his age when I got him, and Emma I know since the was born in Lori's shed.

9:31 am

rururocks

how long do hamsters live?

9:32 am

Judi

Our animals don't have recognized birthdays. For one, I have no idea when any of them were born (one adopted us and the other two are foundlings from shelters). Lord knows they get enough treats to make everyday a birthday.

9:32 am

Uneaixoise

hey, ruru!

9:32 am

NonoNanette

exactly Jane, so we celebrate adoption dates

9:32 am

Uneaixoise

same here, judi LOL

9:32 am

Uniquity

days to years, Ruru. Average of 2-3 years. He's in middle hammy age now. :)

9:32 am

Haz1558

Here's ruru! You were mentioned in dispatches earlier.

9:32 am

Atalante

I only know Hobbit's age because she arrived here with her ancestry papers including her birth date

9:32 am

rururocks

Haz1558

EvaNadine has an April fool's icon today claiming that she's leaving babble. I told her you had tried out the idea at New Year without success.

9:34 am

rururocks

oh.. yeah.. didn't work out for me.. I am addicted and there isn't a chapter of Babblers Anon out here

9:34 am

Uneaixoise

ah, yes, I seem to remember that resolution LOLOLOL!!

9:34 am

harpjane

si5?

9:34 am

rururocks

plus I went cold wordy ... too hard to do..lol

9:35 am

Haz1558

I thought it was quite funny. All the goodbyes and fond farewells and suddenly, you're back.

9:35 am

harpjane

every day is april fools day with my icons!

9:35 am

Uneaixoise

si5 greek letter

9:35 am

Haz1558

si5 - if it started st, it would be the sort of thing that's hard to live down.

9:35 am

rururocks

I am a fool everyday...

9:36 am

harpjane

last year on AF day I wore a HIDEOUS coat and waited to see if anyone would comment. It took four days....

9:36 am

harpjane

thanks for the si

9:36 am

Uneaixoise

yw ;-)

9:37 am

Judi

BBL. Going on a caffeine run. More like a crawl, but you get the idea.

9:37 am

Haz1558

Did you have to wear the coat for four days to get any response?

9:37 am

Vicuna

Hello, Good People!

9:37 am

Haz1558

See you later, Judi.

9:37 am

harpjane

this year i am thinking about buying a copy of "How to Profit from the Coming Rapture" and sneaking it onto the shelves of a bookstore that would NEVER carry a book like that!

9:37 am

Haz1558

Hello good Vicuna!

9:37 am

Atalante

hi Viiii!111III!!!iiii!!!

9:37 am

NonoNanette

9:38 am

NonoNanette

hi Vicuna

9:38 am

Vicuna

ANy joyful mayhem today?

9:39 am

Haz1558

Mayhem? In an orderly chat log like babble?

9:39 am

Vicuna

Oh, well, all right. I don't know what I can have been thinking.

9:40 am

Vicuna

*sigh*

9:40 am

Haz1558

Nothing too strange today, apart from the grid. People have been complaining about the grid.

9:40 am

harpjane

my sister knows someons who got the A F virus

9:41 am

rururocks

no new trolls or anything?

9:41 am

Vicuna

That's mayhem all right, harp, but not joyful.

9:41 am

Haz1558

When the Scots ba5/14 grows up, his ambition is to toss the ca5/14. He needs to take care to avoid getting a he6/21

9:41 am

flosey

does the A F virus automatically go away at noon?

9:41 am

harpjane

lol flosey!

9:43 am

Vicuna

Hmmm... I'll have to figure out what they toss besides hammers and golf clubs.

9:43 am

Atalante

lmao *says nothing8

9:43 am

rururocks

they should have bagpipe tossing

9:43 am

Haz1558

You mean you're not up to speed with Highland games?

9:44 am

flosey

lol ru, as into the sea

9:44 am

rururocks

yes

9:44 am

rururocks

the most hideous instrument made

9:44 am

Vicuna

No, but I just learned that a burgeoning sport in Scandinavia is rabbit show jumping!

9:44 am

Haz1558

People, people, your Scots ancestors will be rolling in their graves.

9:44 am

FMitch

Pops head round the door to say Hello!

9:44 am

Atalante

bagpipes are torture

9:44 am

Atalante

FMMMMMM!

9:45 am

rururocks

HI FM

9:45 am

Haz1558

Hello FM!

9:45 am

Vicuna

FMMMMMMMMMMM!

9:45 am

flosey

hi FM

9:45 am

NonoNanette

hello FM!

9:45 am

Vicuna

I find that bagpipes, like train whistles, are quite lovely and evocative when heard from a sufficient distance.

9:45 am

Haz1558

Husband and his sister once attended a bagpipe contest (lasted about 4 hours). They came crawling home begging never to hear another bagpipe.

9:46 am

rururocks

Yeah like 20 miles

9:46 am

FMitch

Hello all, lovely to see you

9:46 am

Atalante

omg

9:46 am

Haz1558

I quite like them under the proper circumstances. Never have bagpipes play in a confined space, it'll blow your mind and your ears.

9:46 am

rururocks

I went to a bagpipe and lute concert once... never heard the lute and hated the honking and sqeaking sounds that brought on a headache

9:47 am

phaeton

hello

9:47 am

FMitch

I agree Haz, my cousins are Scottish and had bagpipes at their weddings

9:47 am

Atalante

my uncle composed a bagpipe *thing* for my wedding. It was lovely. But painful!

9:48 am

harpjane

i was in a parade recently where for some unknown reason they decided to put the bagpipers right behind the horses! Lasted about 2 seconds!

9:48 am

Vicuna

Scottish horses must be made of stern stuff.

9:48 am

jmcnrick

hi all

9:48 am

flosey

at the end of my dad's funeral, graveside, a lone bagpipe player stood quite apart from everyone, and played amazing grace - none of us knew he was there - it was beautiful

9:48 am

Haz1558

Hello jmc.

9:49 am

Vicuna

Hello, phaeton and jmcnrick.

9:49 am

rururocks

morning jmc and phae

9:49 am

jmcnrick

I listened to bagpipes at the Kirken of the Tartan at the National Cathedral in DC and liked it alot

9:49 am

suefrad625

"AS" word?

9:49 am

Haz1558

Yes, flosey, it can be wonderfully appropriate in the right setting. The Edinburgh Military tattoo always ends with the lone piper on the battlements and it's wonderfully atmospheric.

9:49 am

FMitch

Ah now that is a different matter fosey and I can feel the hairs rise just at the thought of that

9:50 am

Haz1558

as7 - as , an auto, a verb form of 'to be'

9:50 am

Vicuna

Thanks, Haz. Didn't have that.

9:52 am

Hey kje :)

Bye, suefrad.

Bye sue.

9:53 am

jmcnrick

bye sue

9:53 am

jmcnrick

sorry to hear about your mac kje

9:54 am

Haz1558

Did somebody play bagpipes to close to it?

9:54 am

Haz1558

*too

9:54 am

kje

so sad, jmc... bu get to pick it up today with my new hard drive installed! woohoo!!!

9:54 am

kje

and.... a new system for backing up - LOL

9:54 am

Vicuna

If you can't play bagpipes for something named Mac, when can you play bagpipes?

9:55 am

jmcnrick

woohoo indeed.

9:55 am

rururocks

never

9:55 am

kje

LOL vi

9:55 am

Judi

Back from coffee run. *shudders* Bagpipes. Arrgh. Sounds like someone squeezing a bag full of feral cats.

9:55 am

Haz1558

This is true, Vi.

9:55 am

Vicuna

Judi and ruru can bond over bagpipe aversion now!

9:55 am

kje

I like bagpipes in the right setting - very mournful sound

9:55 am

jmcnrick

I like bagpipes

9:55 am

Haz1558

You don't hear of many pieces written for bagpipes and solo voice, do you?

9:56 am

jmcnrick

and bagpipes and drums are almost enough o get me to pick up a rifle and march

9:56 am

Uneaixoise

me too, jmc

9:56 am

Vicuna

That's really not true, Judi! When I squeezed a bag full of feral cats it sounded quite different.

9:56 am

rururocks

in Texas they would beat bagpipe players to death

9:56 am

Judi

Props to the Scots for wrestling music out of that contraption.

9:56 am

Vicuna

In Texas they beat all kinds of people to death.

9:56 am

jmcnrick

not true there are highland games in Texas too

9:56 am

rururocks

the bag of ferals we did sounded just like bagpipes

9:56 am

kje

a little frisky today, ru? up for a spat?

9:57 am

jmcnrick

besides in TX there are tons of accordian players so they have no room to talk

9:57 am

Judi

Depends on how you sqeeze them, I suppose. (bagpipes or cats)

9:57 am

rururocks

where are the highlands in Texas..lol

9:57 am

Haz1558

Don't forget that lots of people play variations of pipes, it's not just the Scots. The Breton pipes are more painful to my ears.

9:57 am

Vicuna

Good point, Judi!

9:57 am

Atalante

if I squeeze Sily, she just vomits

9:57 am

kje

funny, i have never heard an accordian player in TX... but have heard bagpipes

9:57 am

Vicuna

But she's not feral, Ata, so the comparison is moot.

9:58 am

jmcnrick

you guys have got to stop squeezing your cats--its just mean

9:58 am

phaeton

Is the highlands the same as the Hill Country?

9:58 am

kje

LOL jmc

9:58 am

flosey

I can't imagine any parade without the bagpipe players in full regalia

9:58 am

jmcnrick

there are lots of German and Mexican polka bands

9:58 am

rururocks

IO can

9:58 am

rururocks

I can athat is

9:58 am

Atalante

ok, I need to go and find a feral cat now

9:58 am

Haz1558

Are you a sucker for a man in a kilt, flosey?

9:59 am

flosey

I love the polka bands too

9:59 am

jmcnrick

there are lots of Scottish descent in TX--for example I am a six generation in the US and almost pure blooded Scot

9:59 am

kje

lots of mexican mariarchi bands, but they do not usually have accordians

9:59 am

movieman

have ga8 and ma8......clue me the other two 8s plz

9:59 am

jmcnrick

ata I think it is best to leave feral cats alone

9:59 am

Haz1558

Are you going to test the feral cat squeezing theory, Ata?

9:59 am

rbud

I love a man in a kilt, and hi, all!

9:59 am

Vicuna

*Requests the honor of this dance with flosey.*

10:00 am

flosey

no no haz, but I think the band looks very handsome in parade

10:00 am

jmcnrick

no no the mexican polka is a big deal

10:00 am

Haz1558

ba8 - plural of ba7 - what you look for in the cut price shop

10:00 am

10:02 am

rbud

could I get a hint for the ca7? (my last 7)

10:02 am

jmcnrick

klan is a more of a social club in some parts these days but still scary anywhere

10:02 am

rururocks

sheets are at a premium in Texas

10:02 am

Vicuna

Social it may be, but of a very sick society.

10:02 am

jmcnrick

why are you so down on TX today ruru?

10:02 am

Haz1558

ca7 - plural ca6/21 - sounds like but spelled differently to a woman's name (think Christmas songs)

10:03 am

jmcnrick

I agree vic

10:03 am

rururocks

just like to pick on kje..just kidding

10:03 am

Vicuna

ca7 - pl of ca6 where you study at the library

10:03 am

kje

yep, ru is definitely spoiling for a fight..... hmmm, whether to take the bait

10:03 am

Vicuna

Ankles crossed.

Vicuna

Quick, let the polka band in while he's gone!

10:10 am

jmcnrick

*thinking: ruru had enough stimulates*

10:10 am

Judi

You must have been playing Babble in an alternate universe, Vic. One lump or two?

10:11 am

jmcnrick

woohoo *dancing polka*

10:11 am

Atalante

does anyone else have a dog that likes climbing cliffs?

10:11 am

Vicuna

One, please, Judi. How kind of you to offer. Lovely weather we're having, isn't it.

10:11 am

Vicuna

*thinking...*

10:11 am

Vicuna

No.

10:11 am

Haz1558

No, I know of no cliff clmbing canines.

10:11 am

Judi

Quite. Quite. Finger sandwich?

10:12 am

Atalante

always knew Hobbit was unique

10:12 am

jmcnrick

ick eating fingers?

10:12 am

Vicuna

Only tender new fingers, jmcnrick. Judi would never serve inferior quality.

10:12 am

Judi

Scones? Clotted creme? Lemon curd?

10:13 am

jmcnrick

oh in that case *looking over plate*

10:13 am

Vicuna

*adjusts monocle and applauds the polka band politely*

10:13 am

flosey

ah Judi, you got me there, love scones, clotted creme and lemon curd

10:14 am

Haz1558

Fix your hat, Vicuna, the bird appears to be tilting.

10:14 am

Judi

Only the finest fingers for my sandwiches.

10:14 am

jmcnrick

I never saw a woman wear a monocle before! Very nice

10:14 am

Vicuna

The real question, Ata, is whether hobbit can rappel (abseil) back down.

10:15 am

Vicuna

Thank you, Haz. *adjusts hat, bird, and bird's monocle*

10:15 am

Haz1558

I knew you'd want to know.

10:15 am

Atalante

there. check my pictuer!

10:15 am

Judi

lol, Vic.

10:15 am

jmcnrick

Gosh that monocle on the bird is so small!

10:15 am

Haz1558

Your pictuer?

10:15 am

Vicuna

Well, women need to stare superciliously at things just as much as men do!

10:16 am

EvaNadine

man, i keep getting dragged away by work, but every time i return, the chog just gets curioser and curioser!

10:16 am

Vicuna

Very nice, Ata!

10:16 am

jmcnrick

I assume the funny black spot is hobbit?

10:16 am

Atalante

picture as well!!!!!!

10:16 am

Haz1558

And are you complaining or approving, EvaN?

10:16 am

Judi

Impressive, Ata. I bit of moutain goat in that spaniel.

10:16 am

Vicuna

Cute, isn't it, jmc. My eccentric owl likes to peer superciliously at things, too.

10:17 am

Haz1558

She's probably just looking for somebody to take her to the groomers.

10:17 am

Atalante

yep. I turned my back on her for about 10 seconds ...

10:17 am

Atalante

*sporfles*

10:17 am

Judi

Eva, you are such a fraud. We know you're not going anywhere. No one ever leaves Babble. Ever. They may disappear, but they never leave willingly.

10:17 am

jmcnrick

indeed. I wonder if the Rice Owl could get one? I think it would add to a school mascot

10:18 am

jmcnrick

sporfles?

10:18 am

Haz1558

I'm telling you, you could raise some money for a proper haircut if you went to Canterbury, paraded Hobbit and threatened to play the bagpipes if people didn't contribute.

10:18 am

Vicuna

Ata does that on occasion, jmc. Don't worry; it appears to be harmless.

10:18 am

jmcnrick

lol haz

10:18 am

Judi

Could someone clue the As7 please?

10:19 am

Haz1558

as7 - as plus an auto, then two letters of verb form 'to be'

10:19 am

jmcnrick

oh *backing away from Ata* sure

10:19 am

Vicuna

Don't bother going to Canterbury. Just extort from ruru and Judi without ever leaving the comfort of your computer chair.

10:20 am

jmcnrick

as+auto+form of to be

10:20 am

jmcnrick

sigh must run off to bank--I am working from home today so will get to play more, but still have to work

10:21 am

jmcnrick

Hello, all. I'm just taking a break from ironing and going to try this grid which some people have apparently taken to champagne because of the difficulty and they hate (not the champagne, the grid.) So far is that correct? I shall commence my word work now.

12:50 pm

Yes, stidge, you got it right.

good luck, stidgmere.. you should breeze through the first sweep... the newbies have been giving my monkeys a workout, but thanks to them and to Lickety's list, am almost done..

12:51 pm

I sometimes think I don't even know English after working on the grid.

12:52 pm

Aloyisius

lol, and enable's English is interesting too

12:52 pm

stidgmere

Aloyisius, you might mistake me for my daughter, who is amazing. I am the one who has two dictionaries at my right hand.

12:53 pm

Aloyisius

well, that's a good tactic for sure! I might grumble, but I think "newbies" are one of the attractions of this game.. (-:

c'est terrible. Hi uni

Uniquity

I believe you are up early, Lynxxx! How are you?

3:16 pm

lynxxx

No, I have actually slept in today. 7am here. I'm OK. French? did you speak French anyway?

3:17 pm

Uniquity

Mon francais est tres terrible. I am in a first year course, and just barely learning.

3:18 pm

Uniquity

And 7 am is early in my book, but I guess that is a luxury of student life.

3:19 pm

lynxxx

I think I just assumed all Canadians spoke french and english fluently, obviously wrong

3:19 pm

72 Temple Owl

hello all!

3:20 pm

Uniquity

Nope. Canada is bilingual, but only something like 1/3 of the population speaks both languages. The sad part is that I have acadian heritage, but my grandfather decided not to teach me French

3:27 pm

lynxxx

yi4.6 uses dble cons

3:27 pm

Uniquity

Lynxxx, in NS english isprimary language, but there are french language schools and french immersion programs. It varies province by province. I would assume Quebec teaches primarily in French, but most are largely English.

3:28 pm

Uniquity

I had six years of (mandatory) French in elementary and junior high, but learned nothing. This course has taught me far more than all those other years combined which is silly. If I had been taught properly at a young age, science says it would have been easier.

3:28 pm

5:38 pm

J. C.

And how *are* you??? Well, I hope? :)

5:38 pm

Lindrickway

oh cool thanks JC, I am looking at Ashford, Faversham & Canterbury at the moment!

5:38 pm

stidmama

I am P****D O**, actually... but somewhat relieved also. NOT going in to the college early because I am SO ANGRY.

5:38 pm

J. C.

Oh - never mind, I see now Lindy - you're thinking of moving over here?

5:39 pm

J. C.

I see . . . what makes you want to move here?

5:39 pm

stidmama

NO!!!! LINDY CAN'T MOVE FARTHER AWAY!!!!! *wail*

5:39 pm

westford

would you like to vent stid?

5:39 pm

J. C.

Oh no, stidmama - I'm sorry to hear it! :(

*Hugs* stidmama . . .

stidmama

the woman at the college who hired me to do some part-time work this quarter and next is an old friend.

5:40 pm

Lindrickway

thanks Stid!

5:41 pm

stidmama

BUT she is a very poor communicator and didn't articulate her needs to me clearly.

5:41 pm

J. C.

Erm, have you any idea how much more expensive it is to live over here, Lindy? :P I know it's much worse than where you are now . . . it's worse than almost anywhere, I think! :P (I'm trying, stid!) ;)

5:41 pm

stidmama

WHEN I would do things for her I ALWAYS asked her to check and tell me what was accurate, and what needed to be changed.

5:41 pm

J. C.

Oh, I see, stid . . . and what's happened?

5:41 pm

J. C.

Yes, of course - that makes sense.

5:42 pm

Lindrickway

LOL I have always wanted to live near London and with the house prices dropping over there now might be my best chance!

5:42 pm

J. C.

You can't do anything without knowing that!

5:42 pm

stidmama

BUT she wasn't doing HER part... and now she is upset because things move so slowly. so she asked a woman at the college (professional programmer) to try to do the work that I was HIRED to do.

5:42 pm

westford

not very fair stid

5:42 pm

J. C.

Hmmm, but why Lindy? What's wrong with where you are? You would probably miss your homeland and famly and friends there terribly . . .

5:43 pm

stidmama

AND she is miffed that I am not at her "beck and call" 24/7 (I hate that expression), and surprised that I have classes to attend and study for, and children to take care of.

5:43 pm

J. C.

It's a very big adjustment, to go live in another country, where you don't know anyone - or do you have friends or family here?

5:43 pm

Lindrickway

(((((Stid))))))))

5:43 pm

stidmama

*grumble* and now she's on the phone.

5:43 pm

Lindrickway

I am English born & bred JC!

5:43 pm

J. C.

Oh goodness, stid - as if you're not supposed to have a life of your own???

5:43 pm

J. C.

Oh I SEE, Lindy - well, that makes more sense then!

5:43 pm

Uneaixoise

oh, stid, that's SUCH an infuriating situation --- soooo sorry!

5:44 pm

J. C.

So you would be moving back here . . .

5:44 pm

J. C.

Coming home! ;)

5:44 pm

stidmama

*sigh* back later....

5:44 pm

Lindrickway

Yes but I am from North Yorkshire, so it would be an exciting adventure again!

Ahhh, just looked - north Yorkshire, yes!

5:49 pm

J. C.

I'm enjoying the peace and quiet and cleaner air, out here. It's nice to take walks around here with the dog, and all that . . .

5:50 pm

J. C.

Yes, Lindy - exactly. It's a reasonable commute from here, but far enough away! ;)

6:23 pm

Hmmm . . . I think you'll have to get summer eventually?

6:23 pm

6:24 pm

J. C.

You probably want to swat me right about now . . .

6:24 pm

stidmama

6:24 pm

o-o

6:25 pm

6:25 pm

westford

fit as a fiddle fuqua

6:25 pm

stidmama

hello BR

6:25 pm

fuquayvarina

oh, ty!

6:25 pm

o-o

is 7

6:26 pm

J. C.

It's like a word for very angry, stid - only a different last consonant.

6:26 pm

stidmama

thanks BR and JC

6:27 pm

J. C.

You're welcome . . .

6:27 pm

fuquayvarina

I could use a little more help on that is7, br

6:28 pm

stidmama

*thinking* very angry? like steamed? or more so?

6:28 pm

stidmama

oh! I GOT IT!

6:28 pm

o-o

is + vowel and tele****

6:28 pm

stidmama

fuquay, it ends like a metric measurement for "ounce" (g4)

6:29 pm

fuquayvarina

ty, br. was trying everything I could think of with that prefix

6:29 pm

fuquayvarina

JC's word is from the other i

6:29 pm

J. C.

Oh good, stidmama - thought you had it already when you said think you. Must be how you've been feeling today? :/

6:29 pm

J. C.

Mine was from the other i ?

6:30 pm

J. C.

I didn't think so - but I still don't undestand how this all works, sorry! :(

6:30 pm

J. C.

I try . . .

6:30 pm

stidmama

down to 109. Will stop when I reach halfway.

6:30 pm

fuquayvarina

yes, JC. the word that started with the middle row i was the is7 that br clued.

6:30 pm

o-o

101.5

6:30 pm

stidmama

*now trying to get last i from JC's clue*

6:31 pm

J. C.

Oh, I'm lost . . .

6:31 pm

stidmama

LOL that is what Lucky's "normal" temp is!

6:31 pm

J. C.

Think of a 3-letter word for extreme anger, stid . . .

6:31 pm

fuquayvarina

the way it works is that words are "attached" to the first letter in the grid (starting at top, reading left to right) that they could be made from

6:31 pm

J. C.

Then a 5-letter word meaning the state of having that feeling, only change the 2nd consonant.

6:32 pm

J. C.

Oh?

6:32 pm

stidmama

oh! got it JC, thanks!

6:32 pm

J. C.

You're very welcome, stidmama! :)

6:32 pm

fuquayvarina

so your word could have started with the i in the 2nd row, or the i in the 3rd row, but because the 2nd row is first in the sequence it gets "credited" to that letter in the grid

6:33 pm

J. C.

Oh, OK - thanks for explaining that, fuq. :)

6:34 pm

stidmama

oh my. halfway!!!

6:35 pm

fuquayvarina

yw. more than you wanted to know, probably

6:35 pm

J. C.

Well, no - I needed to know it! ;)

6:35 pm

J. C.

So thank you . . .

6:36 pm

fuquayvarina

it does make cluing quite tricky at times

6:37 pm

J. C.

Yes, I can see that now . . .

6:38 pm

fuquayvarina

clue for L? can't seem to see anything from there

6:40 pm

westford

6:40 pm

stidmama

8:37 pm

rururocks

so are a bunch of drunk guys for that matter

8:37 pm

redturtlehead

Drunk women are very very mean, whereas drunk guys are usually easily directable.

he4 - at lunch today i orderd must-o-museer as appetizer and they gave me a small plate of parsley and watercress and radish and onion with it, which was quite lovely.

9:31 pm

Jacula

I thought it a strangely familiar grid when I began it. It all seemed to fall into place and that's why I put the stats up when I finished before Lickety appeared.

9:31 pm

herinfernallady

and the last one Jac?

9:31 pm

dcseain

tyvm, jac :)

9:32 pm

westford

9:32 pm

Jacula

I've done all 4, Herin.

9:32 pm

herinfernallady

ma 8?

9:32 pm

dcseain

no, west, as it's a yogurt and onion thing, ther was a small piece of feta with it, though

9:32 pm

Jacula

y/w dcs.

9:32 pm

herinfernallady

is that what you ment?

9:33 pm

westford

yogurt rather than sour cream then?

9:33 pm

Jacula

Yes, Herin. ma8 = the ones who made the (disputed) Elgin statues.

9:33 pm

herinfernallady

ok thank you

9:33 pm

Jacula

Sorry about typing a 6.

9:33 pm

dcseain

must-o-moseer is yogurt and onion as far as i know; never heard of sour cream in nor with it, though i'm sure there are regional variants

9:34 pm

Jacula

(extend the ma6, Herin - a good surface for making pasty on.)

9:34 pm

westford

reminds me of a plate my mother used to make for my dad in the summer

9:34 pm

westford

I believe it had cucumber slices in it as well

9:35 pm

9:37 pm

Jacula

Jacula

Harp - that's why you should write it down either as you're doing it (food all over the notepad) or just after you've done it. LOL

9:39 pm

Shirlockc

i don't write stuff down tho so makes it hard to redo -- it's always a surprise!

9:39 pm

Jacula

West - glad you like my sauce.:-)

9:40 pm

westford

9:40 pm

herinfernallady

9:42 pm

I have noticed that any kind of tomato sauce spurts when you are heating it. Or rather splurts; it warms up, starts to bloop and then splurts all over the place if you don't cover the pan.

9:46 pm

Jacula

Do tomatoes have some kind of jumping beans in them?

9:46 pm

westford

seems like doesn't it?

9:47 pm

my house rule was I would not go out of my way to cook something I knew you didn't like but you had to eat what I cooked

9:54 pm

Jacula

West - My Other Half? Yes, he does.

9:54 pm

dcseain

ah, circular logic :)

9:54 pm

westford

challenge him to make a soup that he will eat

9:54 pm

jmcnrick

it was funny when a new guy came among my son's friends and I cooked supper all of the others said to him -- try a little bit you might like it!

9:54 pm

magazinemom

lol Jac- sounds like my ex and his uncle. They order hamburgers everywhere you go, because it "is the one thing no one can screw up"

9:54 pm

westford

or a stew

9:55 pm

West - I might just do that when we're next on holiday and he's not stressed by work.

Me too, except sushi.

Jac it is on the Travel Channel here in the US- the guy's name is Andrew Zimmern and the stuff is just unbelievably repulsive, although I guess if you were a native of some of the places he goes it wouldn't be

10:00 pm

harpjane

sa5/14 has a vowell insterted into the first sa4

10:00 pm

Jacula

sa5.24 kind of rhymes with the Indian big cat who's orange with black stripes.

10:00 pm

harpjane

I'm trying to get 1030, never have done that! It involves babbling 30 consecutive days, which I usually don't do

10:01 pm

i guess i really should do shtuff

10:01 pm

I once saw Bruce Parry (in the series 'Tribe') eat a large spider which had been cooked over a fire wrapped in a leaf and then pick his teeth with its fangs.

10:01 pm

The ultimate insult to the spider, I guess.

Oh Gawd, West - you're 11 years' older than me. Is that yet another 'delight' I have to look forward to, after stress incontinence and hot flushes?

10:12 pm

westford

students dread them torg

10:12 pm

Jacula

Torg - the blank space at the side of the page in your schoolbooks.

10:12 pm

westford

10:13 pm

torgone

Thanks again

10:13 pm

Jacula

Ah, West, that does irritate the bladder. I drink very little coffee, but lots of tea. Both have caffeine.

10:14 pm

westford

funny thing I didn't drink coffee until I was well into my 40's

10:14 pm

westford

not counting Irish coffee lol

10:15 pm

Jacula

I notice that the ma6/27 is ready drawn in schoolbooks now. Back in the 60s and 70s, one of the first tasks of the new school year after writing your name and form (class number) on the front cover, was drawing the 1" margins on each page with a ruler and a pencil.

10:16 pm

Jacula

West - I love Irish Coffee, but I don't often drink it.

10:16 pm

westford

and they'd better be straight too!

10:16 pm

westford

that's what I meant when I said students dread them

10:17 pm

Jacula

I drank coffee until I was 27 and into my first pregnancy. I drank tea more often after that.

10:17 pm

we meant to have it on St. Pat's day but we never got around to it

10:17 pm

EEEK! I said the word. Sorry!

I didn't get that clue west because we never did that

10:18 pm

10:18 pm

West, if you do have an Irish coffee make sure you use Jamesons whiskey in it.

10:18 pm

No

10:19 pm

10:19 pm

10:29 pm

Jacula

sue - exercise system Ta* Chi + first 2 letters of a thing played in football, baseball, hockey eetc.

10:30 pm

Jacula

West - if she came, I'd be gobsmacked, but I'm not sure I could cope with all the security checks beforehand. I'm a rebel at heart.

10:31 pm

westford

I imagine they get tired of all the security too

10:31 pm

Jacula

My home is my castle, and if I had the money to buy up land and woodlands to stop the spread of building roads and housing estates, I'd do it.

10:31 pm

westford

a necessary evil

10:32 pm

westford

still building as much?

10:32 pm

Jacula

She does, West.

10:32 pm

Jacula

But how can she sidestep it in today's over-cautious society?

10:33 pm

westford

I remember hearing years ago that someone came in and was sitting on the side of her bed

10:33 pm

westford

bet heads rolled that day

10:33 pm

Jacula

How many staff did Obama's entourage have when visiting UK on Tuesday? Over 200, I think.

Michael somebody or other, that was, West.

She was very calm on the outside about that. Bet she was sh*tting herself inside. I would have been.

10:40 pm

westford

I meant Prince Philip

10:41 pm

Jacula

I'd be the one with the knife. As a cook, I have some biggish knives, but I don't own a sword.

10:41 pm

Jacula

West, I know you did. He does own a sword or two, but I doubt he keeps them in his bedchambers.

10:42 pm

his sword is around here somewhere part of his dress uniform

It must be hard (well, not *hard*, if you're a Royal male). How can you 'perform' when you know there are peope listening outside the door? I guess the only way to gt over that is to be or become one who enjoys flaunting.

10:49 pm

westford

10:49 pm

jillibus

the wine was the best part ;)

10:49 pm

flosey

jilli, have you tried Bruce's take out? in Gasoline Alley?

10:50 pm

jillibus

no, Southern Fried chicken breast, scalloped spuds, fresh brussels sprouts

10:50 pm

Jacula

The problem with sleeping with your head on the crown jewels is that they gt rather hard to sleep on when morning comes, you will be shove=ed away so fast that yourhead might snap off, as the 'keeper' rushes off.

10:50 pm

jillibus

no -- flosey -- must do -- I thinkhe was in GVM the other day, buying a load of ham

10:50 pm

flosey

sounds good jilli

10:50 pm

Jacula

Hi Flosey. You saying Gasoline Alley makes me think of the Rod Stewart song.

10:50 pm

suefrad625

not getting it DC

10:50 pm

flosey

he's a big boy!

10:51 pm

suefrad625

nm, got it

10:51 pm

westford

Gasoline Alley is/was a comic strip

10:51 pm

flosey

great icon jilli, I purposely didn't choose the jay, figuring you might

10:51 pm

jillibus

how big, flosey?

10:51 pm

flosey

yes west, I remember it

10:51 pm

westford

your dinner sounds delish jilli

10:51 pm

suefrad625

ir5 and le5

10:51 pm

flosey

hmmmm, easily 300 + lbs

10:52 pm

jillibus

and Gasoline Alley here is a street behind a gas tation. We also have Tin Can Alley, on the way to the recycle depot.

10:52 pm

jillibus

It wasn't him, then, flosey!

10:52 pm

westford

great names jilli

10:53 pm

Jacula

ir5 - Muslim word, but try i plus sounds like police storming into a place.

10:53 pm

flosey

he was a former student of George's and was very thin back in HS - since becoming a Chef guess he samples everything

10:53 pm

Jacula

le5 - Hawaiin tree with red flowers.

10:54 pm

jillibus

flosey -- how gracious of you not to pick our Jay! And if you had, I would have picked our quail!

10:54 pm

flosey

lol

10:54 pm

Jacula

Jilli - my daughter's latest b/f is a chef. It's so nice to see someone of her own age looking after her and cooking for her.

10:54 pm

flosey

also thought of the gulls, as hubby calls sh** hawks

10:55 pm

jillibus

west, that's one of the things I like about not livingin Quebec, where English names are illegal

10:55 pm

flosey

lucky girl Jacula, my son does the cooking, his wife does the cleaning

10:55 pm

suefrad625

FIREWORKS

10:55 pm

suefrad625

ty all

10:55 pm

westford

wow jilli illegal?

10:55 pm

jillibus

YAY sue!!!

10:55 pm

flosey

wtg sue

10:55 pm

westford

and didn't they just pass a law that woman must keep their maiden names?

10:55 pm

jillibus

well, here we have our ruru...

10:56 pm

jillibus

yes, west, on both counts

10:56 pm

Jacula

Women MUST keep thier maiden names? What if they don't want to?

10:57 pm

westford

who would you be in Quebec jilli?

10:57 pm

jillibus

they can hyphenate, I think

10:57 pm

flosey

hmmmmmm, I'd have preferred my maiden name to Laundry!!!

10:57 pm

jillibus

Gillian Murray

10:57 pm

westford

that would be more sensible

10:58 pm

westford

so Gillian is French too?

10:58 pm

Jacula

I wanted to keep mine when I married, but couldn'd back in the 70s. However, should I choose or be chosen to marry again, I'd like to marry my own maiden surname with that of my partner.

10:58 pm

jillibus

hell no, wset, lol!!!

10:58 pm

westford

but you said English names were illegal

10:59 pm

flosey

when my daughter came home from her honeymoon, she asked if she could have kept maiden name, I told her yes, just leave it the other for legal purposes

10:59 pm

Jacula

Mine is 'Sayle' an his is 'Aylett'. I thought 'Saylett' would be quite nce.

10:59 pm

Jacula

It incorporates both names.

10:59 pm

flosey

nice combo Jac

10:59 pm

dcseain

i have friends, she was Love, he was King, now they are bothe LoveKing

11:00 pm

jillibus

several of my French Canadian women friends have used both their maiden and married names, un-hyphenated, but off and on. If they drop one, it's the married name.

11:00 pm

westford

how sweet

11:00 pm

Jacula

LOL, dcs, that's fun.

11:00 pm

westford

I had a friend named Kitty Love

11:00 pm

westford

sounds like a stripper

11:01 pm

flosey

lol,

11:01 pm

jillibus

my grand-kids are Brown-Evans. If my GD married a Smikth-Jones, would their kids be Brown-Evans-Smith-Jones? It gets silly.

11:01 pm

westford

it does

11:01 pm

flosey

at least they're short names jilli

11:02 pm

flosey

can you imagine Steadman-Laundry

11:03 pm

flosey

then Sandra's hubby's name is Koropatnick - a bit of a mouthful

11:03 pm

jillibus

But she is "in a relationship" with a Reid. Times have changed.

11:03 pm

Jacula

Hmm, I was forced to become a 'Brown'. who then lived next to a 'Smith' and who had many,many relatives called 'Jones'. sonce that was ma-in-law's maiden name.

11:03 pm

westford

ooh the ladies that owned our house were the Reids

11:03 pm

westford

11:06 pm

westford

Jacula

11:21 pm

jillibus

flosey -- we do have lovely common birds here, don't wee -- like the dark-eyed juncos (as common as sparrows back east) -- the towhees, and the other sparrows like the white-crowned, chipping, and so on

11:22 pm

flosey

for sure jilli - they're so beautiful

11:22 pm

flosey

11:22 pm

flosey

11:25 pm

flosey

have even had a blue heron on occasion

11:26 pm

jillibus

They're endangered. I saw a few on a beach ramble a few years ago. Their nesting places are easily disturbed and idiots
violate them in spite of pleas to stay away

11:26 pm

flosey

that's so sad,

11:27 pm

jillibus

They say "I have a right to go where I please..."

11:27 pm

flosey

we had a creek behind our house back in Aurora, had a green heron hanging around for one summer

11:27 pm

In case any of you are wondering, the Driftwood is our local weekly paper. A front page headline today was "Bush buys island parcel" and goes on to say "The Driftwood has learned that former U.S. president George W. Bush and his wife Laura have purchased a property on Salt Spring Island..." and so on, including a visit by Bill Gates in his Microsoft yacht Octopus...
