12:39 am

Just1Mar

12:39 am

sandyloo

Jilli it is great and she is much brighter- involves breaking her arm and turning the joint around, partial joint replacement, cleaning of spurs etc. and muscle tightening - 2 well know perth surgeons are doing it together

12:39 am

VolleymomDee

sounds so great sandy! so happy for you both

12:40 am

12:50 am

Hugabugs

12:50 am

jillibus

night hugs

12:50 am

sandyloo

yes JC and they kept on giving it to her until they clicked! then the seizures stopped!!

12:51 am

J. C.

Because it's been causing her to have very violent seizures, Just . . . which have then caused that.

12:51 am

VolleymomDee

have a great day hug!

12:51 am

herinfernallady

My IDIOT dentist person in the hospital gave it to me and it was the worst thing. I was a zombie for 2 months as it interfered with my anti depressants. If it was not for the darling Sprite I wouldn't have known. Just it was a side effect of the drug that caused the problem

12:51 am

sandyloo

Just, when she had a seizure it dislocated her shoulders

12:51 am

12:55 am

Just1Mar

12:55 am

jillibus

I've seen that av6 before but with a C in the middle instead -- a pretty wading bird

J. C.

1:00 am

J. C.

Why is that, herin?

jillibus

J. C.

Very sensitive, to pain.

1:04 am

jillibus

LOVE Lobster Thermidor -- my very fave. But you must be looking at the scorpion from yesterday -- better refresh!

J. C.

Herin, I have been to a 'free range' place - they had about 100 chooks in a sandy chook yard , not really like our own chooks that wander around under the trees and on the grass

1:09 am

herinfernallady

Nup. They flip them over and eat the belly.

1:09 am

sandyloo

markbowers7

how come "goth" isnt a word? weird

2:40 am

jillibus

hello mark

2:41 am

J. C.

I think because it's a slang, shortened name for 'gothic', Mark? Not sure if it's in any dictionary yet . . .

2:41 am

jillibus

proper noun, mark

2:41 am

markbowers7

greetings all

2:41 am

westford

hi mark

jillibus

last call for clues...

2:45 am

westford

this one was so much friendlier than last night's

2:45 am

o-o

Enable is capricious. It matters not whether words in the grid are denied access to the list. Enable is the final and sole arbiter of what letters are accepted for any particular grid.

2:46 am

markbowers7

im amazed that "shant" is also not legal

2:46 am

Frances

THank you jilli. I liked it too. What is the theme for today?

melonheadjujube

2:47 am

Frances

I wish melon.

2:48 am

jillibus

melon -- my musical symbol icon was a Byzantine one -- I had hoped you would see it

2:48 am

melonheadjujube

2:48 am

Frances

Thank you jilli.

2:48 am

westford

bab re what you said about enable how did that get chosen to be our word guru?

2:49 am

melonheadjujube

2:49 am

jillibus

and I'm sorry I missed yours, melon

2:50 am

melonheadjujube

2:50 am

3:21 am

niksforjaff

im just used to jules

3:21 am

J. C.

My friends never call me that, because there is already a 'Jules' in our social circle - his name is Julius. Too similar already, but then everyone calls him 'Jules'.

3:22 am

niksforjaff

ah ok-but he dosent come on here does he?

3:22 am

niksforjaff

would you like caeser instead

3:23 am

J. C.

Why would you call me that, when my name isn't Julius? :P

3:24 am

niksforjaff

ok ok..you win

3:24 am

J. C.

Hmmm . . . but, as his is - we should call him that! :P

3:24 am

niksforjaff

:P

3:24 am

niksforjaff

yes its a great honour

3:24 am

J. C.

It is?

3:25 am

niksforjaff

i would have thought..the great julius caeser..probably ive spelt it wrong though

3:26 am

J. C.

Caesar . . . almost right! ;)

3:26 am

J. C.

I don't think I'd want to be confused wth him! :P

3:26 am

niksforjaff

ah yes..thats it..almost

3:26 am

5:07 am

jacq

thank you for that laugh, i needed it so badly

5:08 am

bfsog

tbh i would have too, i can see the funny side but it has done nothing for my opinion on seagulls

5:08 am

bfsog

no problem, these things seem to happen to me

5:09 am

jacq

LOL could have been worse, before the depletion of the fishing fleets they used to follow the boats in and eat the guts discarded as the men gutted the catch

5:10 am

jacq

all that fishy of5 falling on your car

i'm sorry for laughing but it reminds me of taking my daughter for her first day as a volunteer at a marine aquarium and she had a close encounter and we had to take her home to change cos it went everywhere

5:11 am

jacq

heya kje

5:11 am

bfsog

the birds? or did she get scared? lol

5:11 am

kje

omg, bf - there is no way I would have touched that stuff

5:11 am

kje

hi jac

5:12 am

jacq

the birds, oh my it was like a cloudburst of poop

5:12 am

bfsog

i know but it was at 8am and i work til 6 so didnt want it sticking in, gave it a wash last night

5:12 am

jacq

brb doorbell

5:13 am

kje

i would have been late to work and run it through the carwash... but could never have done what you did... yuck

5:13 am

bfsog

bird poo bringing babblers together, anyone else have a story to share haha

5:14 am

kje

i got hit on the shoulder and side of head once by bird poo in cyprus - gag

5:14 am

bfsog

yeah it is said to be good luck

5:15 am

kje

was in a small village about to walk into an art gallery - it was horrid

5:15 am

kje

good luck? have never heard that

5:15 am

bfsog

us weird brits just put a positive spin on everything

5:16 am

jacq

it is supposed to be good luck, but god knows why

5:16 am

kje

trying to remember if I was lucky after that.... hmmm

5:18 am

kje

nope

5:18 am

jacq

you'll probably find if you research far enough back that some poor person was pooped on and in going home to change their clothing they missed some terrible disaster, that's where most of the good luck or bad luck stuff comes from

5:19 am

kje

this grid is hard... everyword so far is a search

5:19 am

jacq

i know from my dad being a fisherman that they were very superstitious and would turn the boats van around if they saw a certain local village idiot, because some boats crew had seen her and the boat sank a few days later with the loss of some lives

5:20 am

kje

wow, jac... that recently? sounds like something from the middle ages

5:21 am

jacq

that recently, it's a very human thing to blame some small change in routine for a disaster, boats in the north east of scotland won't have swan vesta matches on board

5:21 am

kje

what is that?

5:21 am

jacq

they look for something beyond their control and yet not entirely outwith the realms of reason

5:22 am

jacq

i think in the past it was a way of dealing with the losses, the town i came from was a very small place in the 17th century, they had enough able bodied men to crew two boats

5:22 am

jacq

one day as the boats were coming into harbour, with their wives and children waiting on the beach to offload the fish both boats overturned and every man was lost

5:22 am

kje

what is a swan vesta?

5:23 am

jacq

it's a type of match, long narrow yellow box with a swan on the top

5:24 am

kje

interesting

5:25 am

bfsog

what village jacq?

5:25 am

kje

i just wasn't raised superstitious, and know very few people who are... I wonder if certain professions, like fishing, where danger is high, are more apt to be superstitious

5:25 am

jacq

the boats used to be blessed by the local minister before they went to sea, these were the days in the 20th century when all the men in a family would crew a boat, so losing a crew was a real blow in a town where everyone was related through blood or marraige, no matter how distant

5:26 am

jacq

buckie, in moray

5:26 am

bfsog

know it well

5:26 am

jacq

you do?

5:26 am

jacq

really?

5:27 am

jacq

i think they are kje, and they use routines to ward off bad luck, hence the superstition about small changes

5:27 am

bfsog

well, i mean i know where it is

5:27 am

jacq

ahhhhh

5:27 am

bfsog

my surname is quite similar to buckie

5:54 am

jacq

both boys were totally silent watching this, they had never seen anything like it

5:54 am

jacq

they spoke about it the whole weekend we had them, it was amazing

5:55 am

carleekat

I live a 5 min walk from Lake Huron, yesterday I got in my car to go to work..loaded all my "stuff" for the day ( was running to pathfinders from work )...and I thought...that a funny noise....openned door..was the crashing of the waves I was hearing

7:15 am

J. C.

Ouch, jimmel - hope it goes well!

7:15 am

crosshair

jimmel here is a program for the thumb disabled "dragon naturally speaking"

7:15 am

crosshair

i can set it up so i never touch the keyboard with that program

7:15 am

jacq

my speach recognition can't recognise my accent

7:15 am

jacq

speech

7:16 am

jacq

achhhh

7:16 am

crosshair

good for when the carpel tunnel operation is ready

7:16 am

crosshair

this one will

7:16 am

jimmel

My "trigger thumb" is quite amusing when it's not keeping me awake at night with pain...snaps back and forth into place....

7:16 am

crosshair

you train it

7:16 am

crosshair

by reading text to it and teaching the individual words it misses

7:16 am

jacq

i tried training it, i even tried beating it witha sharp pencil

7:17 am

jacq

i gave up

7:17 am

crosshair

mm your brogue must be thick as the head on a glass of stout

7:17 am

crosshair

lol

7:17 am

jimmel

does it recognize the queen's english, jacq? then you could use a sword tip instead of a pencil

7:17 am

jacq

laughs it can be if i've just spoken to the girls or my mum

7:18 am

jacq

well the boss tried it too and he speaks better english than i do but he just got mad at it

7:18 am

crosshair

version 10?

7:18 am

jacq

dunno, will look

7:18 am

crosshair

casue my da,s is pretty thick still and i got it to do his voice

7:19 am

jacq

how long did that take?

7:19 am

crosshair

ive been in canada too long so ive lost most of mine

7:19 am

jimmel

i'm afraid babble doesn't incorporate most of my frustrated mutterings in the grid, so the voice recognition would be a wash for me!

7:19 am

crosshair

took 2 months of traing the program

7:19 am

crosshair

read to the thing every day

7:20 am

jacq

and the swear words would be interesting

7:20 am

jacq

bed-time stories?

7:20 am

crosshair

i should really use it more

7:20 am

jimmel

Lots of effort there...any fairy tales?

7:20 am

crosshair

lol gaelic swar words may not work lol

7:20 am

jacq

laughs, i don't know most of the babble words never mind how to pronounce them

7:21 am

crosshair

i once tried to speak newfie to it lol think vapour locked

7:21 am

crosshair

thing

7:21 am

jimmel

relating to that, jacq!

7:21 am

jacq

LOL

7:23 am

crosshair

need more newfie screech on board im thinking

7:25 am

jimmel

Back to the 23 ornery words hiding in this grid...will consider 4-fingered typing after tomorrow's cutting job on my near-useless thumb---

7:25 am

crosshair

im of the hunt and peck breed anyways

7:26 am

jimmel

you and my hubby...

7:26 am

crosshair

but ive gotten good at it,i can type almost 50 wpm with 2 fingers

7:26 am

jacq

i hope it goes well

7:26 am

jimmel

it's a skill

7:26 am

jimmel

thx, jacq...dr says 99% certainty it will fix the prob..

7:26 am

crosshair

nerve damage?

7:26 am

jacq

good

7:28 am

jimmel

um...tendon "pulley" that is enlarged and irritated...common, apparently...he will snip the tendon...right now it hurts from thumb tip to beyond wrist...swollen, etc...and kinda misshapen after abusing it for 4 months

7:28 am

crosshair

ahh ok..ive seen many with that from construction injuries

7:29 am

crosshair

it just depends how far you have abused it since it has started

7:29 am

jimmel

wielding a mouse, a remote, and a paintbrush (done 7 rooms and all the trim work) hasn't helped!

7:29 am

jacq

yeah, when they say rest it, they really mean pretend you have no hand

7:30 am

crosshair

indeed jaq

7:30 am

jacq

nods, i've had trouble with wrists and elbows for years, and steroids can't be used any more

7:30 am

jimmel

my left hand is useless..needs immediate training in how to do everything...can barely dial a telephone with it...

7:30 am

crosshair

steroids can cause as many issues as they resolve

7:31 am

jacq

jimmel start today, tie your hand to a belt lop

7:31 am

jacq

thinning of the skin, etc

7:31 am

jimmel

i had a cortisone shot in december, but this dr says he doesn't even try that with thumbs...

7:31 am

jacq

and after tomorrow pretend you have only a left hand because if you do more damage you will regret it

7:31 am

jimmel

well, it will have to be a quck training session, jacq..like overnight!

7:31 am

crosshair

you get that thinning on predneslone (sp)as well

7:32 am

jacq

you have no option, you can't even accidentally use the bad hand after the op

7:32 am

jacq

i've had 4 steroid injections in each wrist and each elbow, gawwwwd they hurt

7:32 am

jimmel

i should have done something about it long ago, but am stubborn about getting things done! The re-do on our house was something I happily took on...but i'm paying for it now

7:32 am

crosshair

nasty

7:33 am

jimmel

kinda like being vain and in pain (high heels, etc) for others...mine is "house vanity"

7:34 am

crosshair

my brother who works with the computer as part of his job got carpel tunnel in both wrists hence i set him up with the speech to type program..funny thing my hunt and peck method will prevent me from ever getting it,it typing propery with bad wrist support that causes it;)

7:34 am

crosshair

damn typos

7:35 am

jacq

smiles we worked it out

7:35 am

jimmel

I've had that already, crossy...surgery in '94 on right wrist...you are so right! I sound like a masochist!

7:35 am

jacq

<< doesn't do vanity like makeup or heels

7:35 am

crosshair

9:58 am

Haz1558

Is it complicated?

9:59 am

10:30 am

Vicuna

Hello, all non-marshmallow Peeps!

10:30 am

Haz1558

Greetings, Vicuna!

10:31 am

Vicuna

How are you, Haz the Magnificent?

10:31 am

72 Temple Owl

hi vand all!

10:31 am

Vicuna

and TO the Grand?

10:31 am

Haz1558

Magnificent? Moi?

10:32 am

72 Temple Owl

?!

10:32 am

Haz1558

I'm very well, thank you. How are you and the twins of wonderment?

10:32 am

Vicuna

Sure. Why not? It's better than being Haz the Mediocre.

10:33 am

Haz1558

This is very true. And I've always thought of TO as being distinctly not average.

10:33 am

Vicuna

Swell, as always, thanks. We went to girl-Tog's class "parent coffee" this morning, and each of the kids had a little computer thing that said what they would like to save their money for...

10:33 am

Vicuna

It could be anything, and the items ranged from a packet of stickers to a vacation house, but our daughter said...

10:34 am

Vicuna

"I'm saving my money for a cell phone, because I can't find my old one."

10:34 am

72 Temple Owl

well maybe "not normal: would be more precise ;)

10:34 am

Haz1558

She didn't.

10:34 am

Vicuna

I was so embarrassed and wanted to reassure all the other parents, "Don't worry, our 6-year-old never had a real cell phone!"

10:35 am

Haz1558

And did they believe you, do you think?

10:35 am

Vicuna

We let her play with her dad's old cell phone that wasn't on a calling plan any more, but it could still take photos. Sigh.

10:35 am

72 Temple Owl

LOl kids say the darndest things...

10:35 am

Vicuna

Well, I didn't say it, so I have no idea what they're thinking! lol

10:36 am

Haz1558

Did they allow eyes to roll or tongues to tut?

10:36 am

Vicuna

So that's my news. Anyone else got anything?

10:36 am

72 Temple Owl

btw are the v words ordinary? i only have the measure of electricity.

10:36 am

Haz1558

My mind always goes blank when asked for news.

10:37 am

Vicuna

I have one that's va4/7 and I have no idea what it means.

10:37 am

Haz1558

The measure of electricity plus a letter and va4/7 is the other.

10:37 am

72 Temple Owl

i do, however, see ernest borgnine's wife and the king of denmark today

10:37 am

Vicuna

Ah, apparently L pl of duct

10:38 am

Haz1558

You keep such exalted company, TO.

10:38 am

Haz1558

It's a wonder you talk to us at all.

10:38 am

72 Temple Owl

ty all the v s are vanquished!

10:38 am

Vicuna

She's really so down-to-earth in spite of it all, isn't she.

10:39 am

72 Temple Owl

*giggle*

10:39 am

Haz1558

Absolutely. She may be grand but she knows how to talk to the little people.

10:39 am

Vicuna

So unspoilt.

10:39 am

Haz1558

Completely. It's so refreshing.

10:39 am

Vicuna

It's an honor to be around her.

10:40 am

72 Temple Owl

thank you.....thank you very much ;)

10:40 am

Vicuna

Because Ernest Borgnine's wife hasn't said a word to me all morning.

10:40 am

Haz1558

I know - especially when you know that she's planning her will. She's been to a seminar and everything.

10:40 am

Vicuna

And the King of Denmark has been giving me the cold shoulder.

10:40 am

72 Temple Owl

lololol

10:40 am

Haz1558

That Borgnine woman could take a leaf out of TO's book.

10:41 am

Haz1558

'How to talk to the little people' by Mrs Borgnine.

10:41 am

Vicuna

Ah yes, the will... Did I say how lovely TO is?

10:41 am

Vicuna

How much she feels just like family to us?

10:41 am

Haz1558

Closer than family. Close as close as close can be.

10:42 am

Vicuna

SUUUUUPER close.

10:42 am

72 Temple Owl

i am sad to say that you are not lineal reltives, so you will pay taxes over 15%

10:42 am

Haz1558

They're talking about naming a glue to describe the closeness of us to TO.

10:42 am

Vicuna

That's okay. If I have to pay 50% taxes, the other 50% is still sounding nice!

10:43 am

Haz1558

I don't think the law of England applies to American tax laws. I'm home and dry.

10:43 am

Vicuna

They already did -- Super glue, of course!

10:43 am

Haz1558

But this is the extra strong version. Super duper glue.

10:44 am

Vicuna

True enough, Haz. It would be a shame to underestimate the incredible bond we share with our beloved TO.

10:44 am

Haz1558

Don't misunderestimate that bond.

10:44 am

Haz1558

I do apologise. I didn't mean to bring back bad memories.

10:45 am

72 Temple Owl

however, the proceeds from life insurance are not taxed...

10:45 am

Vicuna

Aaargh!

10:45 am

Haz1558

Aha! Speak on, TO, you interest me strangely.

10:45 am

Vicuna

The aargh was for Haz. For TO I am sneaking up very very quietly...

10:45 am

72 Temple Owl

where is our babble attorntey when we need her?

10:45 am

Haz1558

Your life insurance is in good shape?

10:46 am

Haz1558

There's a question for FM's quiz. Where's our babble attorney? (WHo is our babble attorney, I've forgotten?)

10:46 am

72 Temple Owl

lo lyou lot of connivers.

10:46 am

Vicuna

We have a Babble attorney?

10:47 am

72 Temple Owl

fm is giving a quiz? i am good at quizzes

10:47 am

Haz1558

Sticks and stones, TO. You're just testing our bond. It is unshakable, just like super-duper glue.

10:47 am

Atalante

hi all :)

10:47 am

Haz1558

Yes, she's composing a babble quiz to see who knows their babblers. She'll need help in getting some hard questions.

10:47 am

Haz1558

Atalante!

10:48 am

72 Temple Owl

that reminds me. need to go get the passport app

10:48 am

Vicuna

How are you, Ata the Marvelous?

10:48 am

nrkii

hi all!

10:48 am

Haz1558

Nice to see you - are you well? And suck up to TO, she's making out her will.

10:48 am

72 Temple Owl

ata! things like what was thethe infamous hot tub filled with? who had the key and list it?

10:48 am

Atalante

oooo I like that!

10:48 am

Haz1558

Hello nrkii!

10:48 am

Vicuna

And nrkii the Fabulous!

10:49 am

72 Temple Owl

hi nrk!

10:49 am

Haz1558

Exactly, TO. It will sort out the sheep from the non-sheep and see who's paying attention.

10:49 am

nrkii

I am fabulous, aren't I?

10:49 am

Atalante

I don't need to suck up to TO. She thinks I'm wonderful already

10:49 am

Vicuna

If you're not a sheep are you a lamb or a human?

10:49 am

Haz1558

I've always said so, nrkii. Every day I think 'That nrkii is a marvel'

10:50 am

Vicuna

Perhaps, Ata. But has she made you a beneficiary in her will?

10:50 am

Haz1558

If you're not a sheep, just be thankful.

10:50 am

72 Temple Owl

i think it's the accent. gives a halo effect.

10:50 am

Vicuna

Oh, I am no sheep. I am a most splendid Vicuna!

10:50 am

Atalante

good point

10:50 am

nrkii

well Haz, it's always good to include those little reality checks throughout your day

10:50 am

Haz1558

Does the halo effect cover all British accents?

10:51 am

Haz1558

Absolutely, nrkii. When things are going astray, I can ground myself in knowing that you're a marvel.

10:51 am

72 Temple Owl

hm*thinks of craig ferguson* maybe not

10:51 am

Anniebrook

and so I enter...hello you stupendous babblers

10:51 am

nrkii

hi Annie!

10:51 am

Atalante

Annie!!!!!!

10:52 am

Vicuna

Hello, Annieb the Fantastic!

10:52 am

Haz1558

Anniebrook the wonderful! How nice that we superior beings are gathered together.

10:52 am

Anniebrook

Ah, Vicuna and Haz know me well

10:52 am

Vicuna

Man, I'd better put on some sunscreen before the combined brilliance of the chat log becomes a burn risk!

10:53 am

Anniebrook

I understand Owl is adding a codicil to her will

10:53 am

Anniebrook

Owl dear, you darling girl, how are you today?

10:53 am

Haz1558

Getin line, Annie, get in line.

10:53 am

Atalante

topical, Vi. Sunscreen is in the news today

10:54 am

Vicuna

We were just discussing TO's will when all of a sudden, rawther suspiciously, all you folks started popping up!

10:54 am

Vicuna

Is it, Ata? What for?

10:54 am

Atalante

too many young ladies getting skin cancer because they don't know about tanning being bad

10:55 am

Vicuna

Still? Sigh. That's not new news.

10:55 am

72 Temple Owl

oops back...phone . anniebrook!

10:55 am

nrkii

ugh, I have to do my will one of these days

10:55 am

Anniebrook

Owl, dear

10:56 am

72 Temple Owl

ooh ata too weird. that was my skin doc on the phone.

10:56 am

Atalante

nope. you would think people would have learnt by now!

10:56 am

Vicuna

Uh oh, time to turn the flattery machine on "Fulsome" and direct it toward nrkii.

10:56 am

72 Temple Owl

nice try annie ;)

10:56 am

Anniebrook

Owl, Is everything okay?

10:56 am

72 Temple Owl

every thing is fine!

10:57 am

nrkii

Vicuna, I'll leave you all my babble clues, k?

10:57 am

Vicuna

Awww, that's lovely, nrk! I'll keep them in an urn by my computer.

10:57 am

Anniebrook

Owl, glad to hear that

10:57 am

nrkii

LOL Vi!

10:57 am

72 Temple Owl

and the patent on all of your inventions. the inventions will be in fm's quiz?

10:57 am

Vicuna

That's good, TO. Was there a scare?

10:57 am

Haz1558

You see, Vicuna has a flattery machine. My sentiments are from the heart, not mechanically generated.

10:58 am

nrkii

shoot, 6 left and I'm totally stuck

10:58 am

Haz1558

Fear not, nrkii. CluesRus is in operation.

10:58 am

72 Temple Owl

last year. so must go for checkups periodically.

10:59 am

Vicuna

That may be so, Haz, but mine are the highest quality technology can provide, sleek, shining, electroplated, and delivered at up to 60 mph on a single charge.

10:59 am

nrkii

is there an A6 at all?

11:00 am

Haz1558

Still. Where there's technology there's the possibilty of failure.

11:00 am

Vicuna

av6/27 - alt spelling of shorebird

11:00 am

72 Temple Owl

av 6

11:00 am

nrkii

or an L6, or an M6?

11:00 am

Haz1558

Indeed there is, nirkii. Second letter needed?

11:00 am

Vicuna

Like there wasn't the possibility of failure in pre-industrial-revolution flattery?

11:00 am

Haz1558

No l or m6

11:00 am

72 Temple Owl

s6. t 6 all i have so far

11:01 am

nrkii

thanks for the a6 hint

11:01 am

nrkii

is there a p6?

11:01 am

Haz1558

There was the possibility, Vicuna, but unmechanised flattery is most reliable. Call me old-fashioned but there you have it.

11:01 am

Atalante

that's silly. It's clearly not really spelled that way

11:01 am

Vicuna

nope

11:01 am

Haz1558

No p6

11:02 am

72 Temple Owl

brb must get lunch

11:02 am

Haz1558

Be careful not to choke, TO. Not before you get that will written.

11:02 am

Vicuna

I agree, Ata.

11:02 am

nrkii

okay, so I'm missing one s6 and one t6... already have sa 6 18 and ta 6 33 and te 6 18

11:03 am

Vicuna

11:03 am

Vicuna

ta6/33

11:03 am

nrkii

yep, have that one... or are there 2?

11:04 am

Haz1558

Vicuna

I have only 1, but there could be more.
Aha!

silver lining is how much caring people have offered

11:22 am

nrkii

also, there are very funny moments and sweet moments peppered throughout anything like this

11:22 am

Haz1558

I thought the silver lining was being able to babble with wonderful people like us.

what are the rules for cluing is it any clue but the answer

1:25 pm

aslindy

I don't know of any real rules, other than avoid using the words in the grid

1:26 pm

Vicuna

That's a slightly controversial topic here in Babble, Mik! Generally speaking, best to try to give clues that are definitional or cryptic, or break the word down a little, but not to spell it out! Some people request "dumbed down" clues if they can't figure it from the others. Congrats on finishing! (And with that, I must run!)

10:00 pm

How did you find tofay's grid, Sandy? I found it fairly quick and simple.

10:01 pm

Jacula

Apart from that stupid av6 spelling of the shore bird.

10:01 pm

sandyloo

10:02 pm

Jacula

Better get the housework done, Sandy. And then come and do mine. (I have a list.):-)

10:02 pm

10:03 pm

sandyloo

I really hate dishes, vacuuming laundry etc

10:03 pm

Jacula

LOL, Sands. Yes, I know I hit the 'f' key instead of the 'd' key.

10:04 pm

sandyloo

maybe I should have said 'fishes'

10:04 pm

Jacula

How about, dusting, wiping and polishing... oh, and ironing?

10:04 pm

sandyloo

oh I like ironing , just never have time to do it

10:05 pm

Jacula

Only if you really hate your fish(es).

10:05 pm

sandyloo

I have a steaming iron station thing

10:05 pm

Jacula

You LIKE ironing? GASP! I must tell my mother this. I inherited her aversion to that activity.

10:05 pm

sandyloo

10:08 pm

Jacula

Have fun with the mower, Sandy.

10:08 pm

sandyloo

I might change my icon, that will give me something to do

10:08 pm

Jacula

Does the slashing mode mean it cuts brambles etc?

10:09 pm

sandyloo

not really, it can clear weeds and long grasses - which makes the snake thing safer

10:09 pm

Jacula

I have no idea what the icon theme is. I suppose I should check.

10:10 pm

sandyloo

me too and im going to do it now'

10:10 pm

Jacula

I can understand what that would help over there in Aus.

10:11 pm

Jacula

Ah, the theme for today is 'just too cute'. I'd better find a photo of me then. :-D
