my daughter's other name is in the grid.

3:13 am

sprite

not valid though... egyptian goddess of fertility

3:13 am

westford

I remember such a beautiful name

3:14 am

sprite

thank you :) We still love it (and her) so much, and so does she.

3:17 am

sprite

lyn, your doggy tiara is pretty. That is one dog feeling beautiful, isn't it?

And west, I have seen so much body art I loved! Too bad none is to your liking.

3:20 am

lynxxx

TY Sprite, I thought she was rather regal

3:21 am

sprite

couldn't agree more

3:23 am

westford

was buried in the grid I mostly liked the hand art but you had that

3:25 am

sprite

there's this gorgeous add on dutch television of pregnant women, with their bellies done up with body art. It is amazing.

3:25 am

westford

lyn perfect dog too

3:26 am

westford

I have seen that done comes off eventually doesn't it?

3:26 am

sprite

oh yes, body art is temporary, not like tattoos. It is done with paint.

3:27 am

westford

first I thought I'd use Native American war paint but started reading about Commanche raids

3:27 am

lynxxx

looks a LOT like Stew too. My daughter thought I had doctored a photo

3:27 am

westford

Then I liked face painting from Papua New Guinea and read about witch hunts and torture

3:28 am

westford

So I said 'forget this'

3:28 am

sprite

lol brilliant, lyn.

3:28 am

sprite

ouch, I understand, west.

3:28 am

westford

and then most weren't for general viewing

3:28 am

rbud

I enjoy looking at henna art, that comes off, too. so delicate, some of it.

3:29 am

sprite

oh yes, especially on those fine indonesian hands. So beautiful.

3:30 am

sprite

that is why I picked hands. Some people might be shocked by painted nude bodies, however beautiful, alas.

3:30 am

westford

I really enjoy a delicate flower or butterfly tattoo strategically placed but I kept finding people who belong in a circus

3:31 am

westford

I'll look again and have something when I return

3:31 am

sprite

too much of a good thing, west, tattoos all over, ugh.

3:32 am

westford

all I know is I would never have one

3:32 am

westford

maybe the painted kind and maybe a long time ago

3:32 am

sprite

I have one, and will have another one some day.

3:32 am

westford

what do you have?

3:33 am

sprite

I have a little sprite on my arm :)
The fairy kind, not the soft drink.

3:33 am

westford

of course I'll bet it's perfect

3:35 am

westford

you should take a picture someday

3:36 am

lynxxx

BBL my attention is elsewhere

3:37 am

sprite

bfn lyn

3:37 am

o-o

I have been tattooed a few times but black and blue is not permanent.

3:37 am

sprite

not that kind, no. Luckily.

3:37 am

sprite

perhaps I will, west :)

3:38 am

o-o

I went to get a tattoo of a tattoo but was told the tattooer could not tattoo a tattoo pf a tattoo.

3:39 am

rbud

lol, BR!!!

3:39 am

sprite

sounds like you have to find a more creative tattooist.

3:40 am

westford

sounds like copyright infringement

3:41 am

rbud

did you see jilli's icon, sprite? can't get Tiny URL to come up, but: http://www.playbabble.com/profile_mini
.php?id=24882

3:42 am

rbud

I think it's pretty cool

3:44 am

westford

that is outstanding rbud

3:46 am

sprite

almost picked that one! Cool, jilli :)

3:49 am

rbud

I have one little rose tattoo, not sure if I'll ever get another one.

3:50 am

sprite

aw cute rbud!

3:51 am

rbud

Hubby has several, thought I might try one.

3:51 am

westford

did you get it recently?

3:52 am

sprite

no, she has been living on my arm for many years already

3:52 am

sprite

am looking for a pic, thought I had one, but cannot find it.

3:52 am

westford

I meant the rose

3:52 am

sprite

ow sorry

3:52 am

rbud

mine's about 12 years old

3:53 am

westford

I should get one the grandchildren would disown me

3:54 am

rbud

haha, go for it, west!

3:54 am

sprite

go for it! They might love it :)

3:54 am

westford

I don't like pain

3:55 am

rbud

I got mine so it shows above a semi-low neckline, unfortunately it keeps getting lower, lol!

3:55 am

westford

I'm afraid that would happen to me too

3:55 am

sprite

lolll everything goes south when you grow older, right

3:56 am

westford

and here it's the law for retirees to move to Florida

3:56 am

rbud

I didn't think it hurt, really, was more like a mildly electric sort of feeling.

3:57 am

sprite

depends on the place. Some areas of the body are quite painful, others not.

3:57 am

westford

one of our granddaughters got a tiny bee on her little toe and said it really really hurt

3:58 am

westford

I saw some on the bottoms of feet I can't imagine getting one there

3:58 am

rbud

closer to the bone hurts more, I've always heard. a "padded" area is better.

3:58 am

sprite

argh, on a toe! Ouch.

3:59 am

westford

I have plenty of 'padding' lol

3:59 am

sprite

yeah but not on my toes

3:59 am

rbud

me, too! lol!

3:59 am

westford

maybe I'll try decals

4:00 am

rbud

that's what I did, to decide how I wanted mine.

4:01 am

westford

rbud was your husband surprised?

4:01 am

rbud

No, I made him go with me.

4:02 am

rbud

he got yet another one while he was there

4:02 am

westford

redturtlehead

No not nearly, I am about 45 min from Daytona. We had about 1 foot.

5:14 am

westford

5:14 am

Thank goodness. I thought it was only me who wanted to say nasty things about <------- that.

5:44 am

LoriP

Hey Lynx! Raining again FM? Last day of sun here, monsoons start tomorrow

5:45 am

Haz1558

Not <---------Spangle, the grid. Just in case of misunderstandings.

5:45 am

FMitch

Haz!!! and lynxxx, Hi there.

5:45 am

LoriP

G'd morning haz, art thou struggling with this ugly little grid too?

5:45 am

FMitch

I am so glad it is not just me.

5:45 am

Haz1558

Yes, I am struggling and not enjoying it one little bit.

5:46 am

Haz1558

AND it's raining.

5:46 am

LoriP

I've tried some very creative words, and not had much success.

5:47 am

FMitch

lol but tomorrow it is going to be 24 degrees, allegedly!

5:49 am

LoriP

Yah yah, you just believe that too, don't you. :p

5:49 am

Haz1558

I don't care. It's raining today and this grid is nasty.

5:49 am

FMitch

Found quite a few babblets.
lol Lori

5:50 am

LoriP

oooh, forerunner of a potential Haz tantrum? How unseemly.....\nThe hi 6 anagram words are exhibit A of enhancing my stress level with this grid. Poopy

5:51 am

FMitch

and those would be 2 of many of my missing words :(

5:51 am

Haz1558

Well, to be honest, those hi words kind of please me. We use them to describe a certain type of cough. Not found in dictionary, of course.

5:52 am

LoriP

I tried to do small word voluems first, but it was sucking my will to live (see above), so I changed my approach

5:52 am

Haz1558

I don't have an approach, I just want to retreat.

5:52 am

Eva

This is a truly hideous grid!

5:53 am

Haz1558

Amen, sister!

5:53 am

LoriP

Prob'ally not a bad idea. Uni has an unbelievably busy day. She'll be skipping this grid.

5:53 am

FMitch

Had to laugh this morning, the window cleaners turned up, it's pouring down and there is scaffolding over most of the windows. They took one look and whent away!

FMitch

Hi Eva! and Merp :)

5:54 am

Haz1558

If BabbleRabble tries to claim that this is easy, there'll be a lynch mob after him.

5:54 am

Eva

It's unusual for a grid this big to be this awful

5:55 am

Haz1558

Okay, maybe not a lynch mob, but there'll be frosty silences.

5:55 am

6:11 am

Jacula

6:11 am

zoozzoom

Gardening in the rain...Yuk

6:12 am

Eva

jac-any more help with those se7's?

6:12 am

Jacula

It's not raining here but must have been earlier, as I see Paul brought all the washing in and hung it on the airer.

6:12 am

Trifioso

ugh, thanks jac - I thought the seal word was spelled with an se, so I wasn't getting anywhere

6:12 am

FMitch

Yup zooz and earlier it was the window cleaners :)

6:12 am

periwinkle

the picture is saved to my desktop but when I click on my icon, the picture takes up the whole screen and I cannot see the words" update icon or edit ;(

6:12 am

Eva

gardening in the rain has the advantage that the blackflies don't suck all the blood out of you in the rain

6:13 am

Haz1558

You're sure they're not press photographers in disguise, FM? Has word got out about you?

6:13 am

Jacula

Trif - it sometimes is. I tried it, too.

6:13 am

herinfernallady

6:14 am

FMitch

Spangle's fine. She doesn't have to do the grid.

6:16 am

Jacula

Eva - se6/21 - se** (sounds like a part of a play) + ** (abbreviation of Arnie's US state). se7 = plural.

6:16 am

Trifioso

the kitties are a handful!!! they keep escaping and hiding themselves in all sorts of interesting places - up inside chairs, couch cushions, and the like

6:16 am

Eva

Merp is doing well thank you herin. Lying at my feet snoring away. However, has developed a real foot fettish, and nibbles on the toes of guests.

6:16 am

Jacula

Peri - perhaps he can delete the pic for you?

6:16 am

Eva

Gail

Good advice, but I will try it. Maybe more sour cream vanilla strawberry bread toasted with that coffee.

6:26 am

periwinkle

really, Haz, you are definitely not yourself since you started this grid

6:26 am

Haz1558

I know, peri. I keep suggesting that DR G instals a transcript thingy with rolling news. Today's would read, 'This grid will seriously annoy you, so think carefully before starting'

6:26 am

crosshair

warning this grid may cause irratibility,nosebleeds,bloating and a sudden desire to see is a monitor can really fly:)

6:26 am

herinfernallady

Hey there Crossie

6:26 am

Haz1558

I know, FM, and if you could make the font any bigger I would have shouted even louder.

6:26 am

periwinkle

I wish we could stop working on nasty grids and not have it change our ranking

6:27 am

periwinkle

I like that idea Haz

6:27 am

crosshair

lol ive never looked my ranking:)

6:27 am

Haz1558

I keep suggesting it, but Dr-G never sees. Maybe you could suggest it while you're getting the grid changed?

6:28 am

Haz1558

Things like 'there's an extra word in Lickety' could go on it.

6:28 am

crosshair

does the list go that far to the bottom?

6:28 am

periwinkle

well I already sent one e-mail. let's see what happens with that first

6:28 am

periwinkle

not seeing any n words today

6:28 am

6:28 am

6:29 am

My "Who's Hot" ranking goes down even though I finish every single grid. I have no idea why.

6:30 am

6:30 am

Oooooh, never thought of that! Well, it will just stay down then.

9:17 am

Anniebrook

Welcome back and hi, Haz

9:17 am

LoriP

Wb Haz, yep, in all its poopy glory.

9:17 am

Haz1558

Hello Annie. I'm feeling a touch nervy today (it's the grid's fault). I even used capitals this morning.

9:17 am

suefrad625

ok, A-D done, have to start homework, bbl

9:18 am

Haz1558

You'll know I've gone over the edge if the !! start proliferating.

9:18 am

Anniebrook

I have taken hold of myself and have meted out the !!!'s.

9:19 am

Haz1558

You're such an inspiration, Annie. A steadying influence in a sea of uncertainty about whether any more words really exist in that abomination over there.

9:20 am

cherlyq63

clue please for ca 6 21 the last

9:20 am

LoriP

Finally finished the bottom row. Missed some basic words. Poopy

9:20 am

LoriP

I'm missing a bunch of c'

9:20 am

Haz1558

Missed basic words are just the worst. Permission to kick something.

9:21 am

Anniebrook

The esses will send me Over the Edge. Kick away, Hazel

9:21 am

LoriP

Oooh, kicking something seems so appropriate right now. Still 29 left after all this torment

9:21 am

Haz1558

Thanks, Annie. The desk is getting what for today.

9:22 am

LoriP

Clean the house? ***My eyes!!!!***

9:24 am

Haz1558

Well, Lori, it serves you right!

9:25 am

Trifioso

your eyes would burn worse if I didn't clean it, lori!

9:25 am

Haz1558

Refusing to take my criticisms lying down. That's what you get..

9:26 am

Haz1558

On a happy note, I have actually found some more words since I came back. Not enough, but it's better than nothing.

9:26 am

LoriP

Somebody's full of piss'n vinegar today! ***backs away slowly....***

9:27 am

Anniebrook

my last resort...going to wash the coffeemaker in the hopes of finding words when I return...later, dear babblers

9:27 am

LoriP

Tri, if it comes to that, there's always safety goggles.

9:27 am

Haz1558

I hope that woman doesn't ring after hours again tonight...

lol Annie, catch ya' later perhaps.

Bye Annie, see you later.

So scratch him!

Re-emerges after several phone calls to view the bedlm in the log!

9:28 am

LoriP

That missing i torments me so. Fish worthy is it?

9:28 am

LoriP

Hah "bedlm" tell her Haz, tell her!!!!!

9:28 am

Haz1558

Hello FM - It's Lori's fault.

9:29 am

Haz1558

Bedlam.

9:29 am

Haz1558

Lori made me.

9:29 am

FMitch

am going to rub salt into the wounds as I have finished!

9:29 am

LoriP

Whoa now, that was a typo, right? You meant FM.... :(

9:29 am

Haz1558

It's strange how much you can go off people, isn't it?

9:30 am

FMitch

LOL

9:30 am

LoriP

You sassy frass! Hush now. Finished, pshaw!

9:30 am

cherlyq63

hi fm

LoriP

***ribs aching...***

9:30 am

FMitch

Hi cheryl

9:30 am

cherlyq63

only have 127 left

9:31 am

FMitch

well stop scatching then Lori :D

9:31 am

Haz1558

I do have all the i words, I think. Unless some more have appeared while I've been gone. They're normal.

9:31 am

LoriP

Go cherly!

9:31 am

LoriP

Normal? Darn. Looking again complete with pouty face. Thanks Haz.

9:31 am

Haz1558

How did you manage to finish, FM? Did you ask for lots of clues?

9:32 am

LoriP

Prob'ally asked for every word to be clued. Twice.

9:32 am

FMitch

heh heh :)

9:32 am

LoriP

It's the only way one could finish this grid.

9:32 am

Haz1558

At least. Probably more I'd think.

9:32 am

Haz1558

Did you hack into someone else's list?

9:33 am

LoriP

OMG, I'm sooooo glad I didn't ask for the third i. (make 'yer own jokes)

9:33 am

NonoNanette

yes I words all very normal

9:33 am

FMitch

ROFL

9:33 am

Haz1558

You'd have blushed worse than I did the day I reported laughing out loud somewhere.

9:34 am

Haz1558

You wouldn't have been able to continue playing babble at all. You'd have had to change your name and try to begin again.

9:34 am

FMitch

were you in pubic haz *snort*

9:35 am

cherlyq63

ty for i clues

9:35 am

Haz1558

And we'd all have been saying 'Whatever happened to that Lori?'

9:35 am

FMitch

oh hell

9:35 am

Haz1558

And we'd reply ' she asked for a clue for an i word'

9:35 am

LoriP

C'mon now haz, shirley you don't expect me to believe you showed emotion.

9:35 am

FMitch

Yay it has finally stopped raining!!

9:36 am

Haz1558

Emotion? I literally sat with my sweater over my face to try to stop the blushing from lighting up the neighbourhood.

9:36 am

LoriP

Yea for FM, no more rain!

9:36 am

FMitch

darn phone again brb

9:37 am

Haz1558

Hooray! No rain for 10 minutes, Guinness book of records being informed.

9:38 am

LoriP

Holy cow. Missed more totally normal words with the g. ***les sigh***

9:38 am

Haz1558

FM still hasn't revealed how she did this grid. She's being very secretive, don't you think?

9:38 am

LoriP

Still missing a g though. Yuk

9:38 am

Haz1558

Is there a dial-a-babble-word phone line do you think?

9:39 am

FMitch

I used lickety and counted a lot

9:39 am

LoriP

I believe that FM found some kind of internet tool to assist, OR she's simply lying as I personally believe this grid is un-possible.

9:39 am

FMitch

once I got down to about 40 left.

9:40 am

Haz1558

Did you count out loud? Does that help?

9:40 am

LoriP

Abacus? Toes? Fingers?

9:40 am

FMitch

hmmm ponders the possibility of setting up a babble clue line.
Out loud and used toes and fingers.

9:40 am

Haz1558

Slide rule?

9:41 am

Haz1558

Maybe that's where I'm going wrong. I've not been counting out loud enough.

9:41 am

Haz1558

A babble clue line might be a real money-spinner. You'd need to have great telephone manners.

9:42 am

LoriP

Gah, last r. The Indian sounding word. Yeesh

9:42 am

Haz1558

Sort of calm and soothing and not laughing out loud when people ask for a clue to a normal i word. No yells of 'Wait till you hear what Lori's asked for now!'

9:43 am

FMitch

Oh I was thinking more along the automated responses rather than real people.

9:43 am

LoriP

Oh come now, clue a word 6 or 7 different ways, and I'll get it. Eventually.

9:43 am

cherlyq63

not as much fun automated

9:43 am

Haz1558

It'd be far more fun with real people.

9:44 am

FMitch

press 1 to really be insulted, press 2 for a cryptic clue, press 3 to e fished etc

9:44 am

Haz1558

I'm telling you, this could be a whole new industry.

9:44 am

cherlyq63

i have as much fun trying to clue as doing grid (most of time)

9:44 am

Haz1558

You've got the idea, FM!

9:44 am

LoriP

Something like "You've reached the Babble Clue Line For 4 letter word clues press 1,4,3,8,4,6,0,7,5,6,1,2,4,3,1,2,78, in the correct order

9:45 am

FMitch

LOL Lori

9:45 am

Haz1558

And you'd have to pay more for each clue that you don't get.

9:45 am

Haz1558

We could make a fortune on huge grids.

9:45 am

Haz1558

Does anyone know how to copyright an idea?

9:45 am

LoriP

cherly, isn't it great to see the different ways words can be clued?

9:46 am

LoriP

If you're frustrated, please press # key repeatedly

9:46 am

Haz1558

We'd need people to solve the words, then people to write clues (20 per word) then people to sit and answer the phone.

9:46 am

cherlyq63

yes it is

9:46 am

Haz1558

And can I put in a plea that if the lines are busy, we do NOT tell people that their call is important to us.

9:46 am

cherlyq63

though have to admit sometimes get frustrated if clue 3 different ways and they still dont get it

9:47 am

LoriP

Okay, the g's annoyitating me now. Anyone know if there's just the 2 go's so I can at least narrow it down?

9:47 am

FMitch

well said cherly!

9:47 am

Haz1558

Frustrated when giving clues? Whatever next? I have been known to throw things at the screen.

9:47 am

LoriP

I hear that cherly!

9:47 am

FMitch

only 2 x go

9:47 am

NonoNanette

Haz when i get that message on a phone i yell back "if I'm important to you talk to me!

9:48 am

LoriP

Mercy Buckets FM. ***Haz must go through a lot of monitors***

9:48 am

Haz1558

Exactly, Nono!

9:48 am

LoriP

Nono knows.

9:48 am

cherlyq63

2 gos

9:49 am

LoriP

Oooh, that's a word. T'was a 7. Mercy Buckets again FM. Thanks cherly

9:49 am

Haz1558

And the music for when the lines are busy - it needs to be soothing but not soporific. Bright but not too energizing.

9:49 am

LoriP

Now just a ridiculous volume of c's and c's, all 22 of them. Gah

9:50 am

LoriP

No music, it's maddening enough being on hold

9:50 am

FMitch

Greensleeves played on a Stylaphone?

9:50 am

Haz1558

As long as we don't have the human saxophone - one of the alleged acts on Britain's got Talent.

9:51 am

LoriP

Perhaps some Greek Dancing music, but that's only if you've been on hold in excess of 1 hour.

9:51 am

Haz1558

Talk about deluded.

9:52 am

cherlyq63

finally got 100 words, only 115 to go

9:52 am

Haz1558

The music could be optional as well. Maybe we could recruit some live musicians - just don't tell Vicuna in case she wants to sing.

9:54 am

Vicuna

Wow! What a time to enter!

9:54 am

Haz1558

Quick, talk about something else.

9:54 am

Haz1558

Hello Vicuna dear!

9:54 am

FMitch

Hey Vi!

9:54 am

Vicuna

Just in time to have my suspicions confirmed: all Haz ever does is abuse me behind my back. Sheesh.

9:54 am

LoriP

G'd afternoon Vic. Watch out for Haz, she has GMS today

9:55 am

Haz1558

And how are your children?

9:55 am

Haz1558

Achieving glory in twinlike fashion?

9:55 am

Vicuna

Oh, try to appease me by inquiries after my offspring, will you? Well, it won't work!

9:55 am

Vicuna

Hello, dear FM and Lori!

9:56 am

Haz1558

And your wonderful artistic endeavours? Do they go well?

9:56 am

Vicuna

=P

9:56 am

LoriP

I keep trying to "ish" words, but not much luck with that.

9:56 am

FMitch

Vit forgive Haz, I have had to administer the blue and pink pills to her for the first time in ages!

Haz1558

You've found the Denmark one, I take it?

9:57 am

LoriP

***I'm starting to question the very fabric of my existance now***

9:57 am

Vicuna

Oh okay. All is forgiven. In token of which I shall croon a tender song of forgiveness...

9:57 am

Haz1558

I know, Vicuna. I'm not myself today.

9:57 am

Vicuna

Just kidding.

9:57 am

LoriP

Yes Haz, amazingly enough d is finito

9:57 am

Haz1558

And Lori's in denial about being alive as well. It's the grid!

9:57 am

Vicuna

IS the fabric of your existence satin or chintz?

9:58 am

FMitch

By he way Vi, if you haven't started the grid, DON'T!

9:58 am

Haz1558

EARPLUGS! NOW!

9:58 am

LoriP

Singing could be the straw that breaks Haz's back. Tread carefully.

9:58 am

Vicuna

Too late, alas, FM. I have 131 down.

9:58 am

FMitch

LL

9:58 am

FMitch

LOL even

9:58 am

LoriP

The grid is pure evil. I await the Priest who is conducting the exorcism.

9:59 am

Vicuna

Awww, I wouldn't want to break Haz's back.

9:59 am

Judi

Back to do battle with the last 59.

9:59 am

Haz1558

THank you, Vi. You're extending more mercy than I deserve.

9:59 am

Vicuna

It'll be a listing day, at any rate.

9:59 am

LoriP

Good luck with dat Judi. WB

9:59 am

FMitch

Oh sorry Lori, he isn't coming, he is tied up in Soduko land right now.

10:00 am

NonoNanette

14 left and mostly s's that ARE NOT THERE

10:00 am

Vicuna

ANy time, Haz. Just takign the high ground the better to drop burning coals down on you, or something.

10:00 am

LoriP

That's just great FM, now what do I do.

10:00 am

Haz1558

Your arrival reminded me of the embarrassment I felt ages ago when one babbler arrived just as we had been slagging her off for demanding spoonfeeding of clues.

10:01 am

rururocks

ki7 anyone either?

10:01 am

Haz1558

Hello Judi.

10:01 am

FMitch

Stop being such a wimp Lo and get those words found!

10:01 am

Judi

*scrolls back to make sure I haven't been slagged* I think I'm safe. I haven't asked for clues... yet.

10:01 am

Vicuna

Yes. One must never forget that the chat is a public forum. Which makes it all the more odd to me when people share such personal stories... but let's not get into that right now! ;)

10:01 am

rururocks

is it dangerous to ask for clues?

10:02 am

Vicuna

ki7? Good gracious! *looking*

10:02 am

Haz1558

Not like FM, Judi.

10:02 am

Merk

half finished, but the wall looms ... all the easy ones are found, I fear ....

10:02 am

Vicuna

Nope, rur. Only dangerous to demand that every letter be spelled out because one is too lazy to figure anything out.

10:03 am

Haz1558

No, ruru. Unless you ask for the same word to be clued twnety different ways.

10:03 am

FMitch

*sigh* I ust be off again. Bye for now.

10:03 am

rururocks

whew.. wondered if I had to put protective head gear on while playing

10:03 am

Vicuna

here it is: ki7/48 - cattle + --- the dog on the thief

10:03 am

LoriP

ru, expand on 'yer ki 4 by adding opposite of Bro, then change last letter to 3rd letter

10:03 am

Haz1558

Bye FM. We'll talk about you once you're gone.

10:03 am

rururocks

hi & Bye FM

10:03 am

LoriP

Laters FM!

10:04 am

Vicuna

Awww, FM, but I've hardly had any chance to bask in your presence! =(

10:04 am

FMitch

I expect nothing less dear Haz :)

10:04 am

Haz1558

Kindly, of course. 'That FM, what a blessing she is'

10:04 am

NonoNanette

bye bye FM

10:04 am

rururocks

thank you lore

10:04 am

Vicuna

That FM. She's like sunshine on a cloudy day.

10:04 am

Judi

But, FM... if you go, who will we blame?

10:04 am

Haz1558

'No-one can come close to FM when it comes to counting fingers and toes'

10:05 am

Vicuna

No one can say FM doesn't count.

10:05 am

Merk

FM is a true friend and babbler.

10:05 am

Haz1558

'FM - able to solve a grid with no more than a pencil, a paper and her digits'

10:06 am

Vicuna

Well, she does usually use her computer, as well, i believe.

10:06 am

Judi

Extra digits! Turning genetic mutation into a mathematical benefit.

10:06 am

beachboggle

Hi fellow Babblers!

10:06 am

Haz1558

Okay, pencil, paper, computer and unbelievable numbers of digits.

10:06 am

cybernan

ki 7: biblical term for cattle + sibling

10:07 am

Vicuna

Why, how many digits does FM have, anyway? Like 30 or so? 48?

10:07 am

NonoNanette

Hi Beach

10:07 am

cybernan

good morning everyone :)

10:07 am

Haz1558

At least 50 - it's the only way she can cope with the high scoring words.

10:07 am

Vicuna

She brings new meaning to the term "Digital Age."

10:07 am

Merk

Morning cyber

10:08 am

Judi

Really! Think of the texting ability!

10:08 am

Vicuna

Hello, cybernan, and everyone el4!

10:08 am

Haz1558

FM's not the only babbler to have problems with genetic mutation. I remember the day Ata announced that she was having a boob removed from her back. Except that it was a blob, but still. I worried for a while.

10:08 am

NonoNanette

Morning Nan

10:08 am

Haz1558

Good morning cybernan.

10:09 am

Vicuna

Hmmm, yes. Evolution has not favoured mammals with boobs on their backs.

10:09 am

Judi

Well there's a dilema. Which is worse? A supernumery mammary or an alien infestation?

10:09 am

Haz1558

Try getting a bra to fit.

10:10 am

Vicuna

Well, you can try to remove them both, but the mammary is less likely to fight back, so I'd rather deal with that.

10:10 am

Haz1558

You can get rid of the chest asset/back defect. Those aliens are tricky.

10:10 am

stidmama

*quickly adjusting boobs to front* hello all! hey vi! didn't see you there!

10:11 am

Becca Lorum

Afternoon everyone

10:11 am

Vicuna

Wow, adjustable boobs! Now that's a breakthrough!

10:11 am

Haz1558

Hello stidmama - and Becca!

10:11 am

Vicuna

Hello, stidmama and Becca!

10:11 am

Judi

Hi, Stid & Becca. Wow, Stid. You must be very poplular at the beach.

10:11 am

stidmama

rofl...

10:12 am

cybernan

did you get my ki 6 clue or were you so busy chatting you missed it?

10:12 am

rururocks

movable boobs?

10:12 am

NonoNanette

Hi Stid and Becca

10:12 am

stidmama

I am working on the paper that is due next week, and trying to do the research from home -- but it's looking more and more like I will need to be doing a fair bit at the college library... *sigh*

10:12 am

stidmama

of course that got ruru's attention!

10:13 am

stidmama

I missed it, nan...

10:13 am

rururocks

just trying to keep abreast of the situations stid

10:13 am

Becca Lorum

*groans*

10:13 am

Judi

Arrrrgh.

10:13 am

cybernan

ki 6: biblical cattle + sibling

10:13 am

stidmama

oooh! NOW I got it!!!

10:13 am

Haz1558

For pity's sake. I've been looking at this grid for centuries and only now see the female relative. Did I get hypnotised today or something?

10:13 am

Vicuna

Ata has a bonus boob on her back, stidmama's got adjustable boobs, Judi's got an alien-infested boob... I feel so... boring.

10:13 am

stidmama

*ignoring ruru -- sorta*

10:14 am

cybernan

should give you the ge 7 as well

10:14 am

Haz1558

But Ata got the bonus thing taken away so she's as normal as she's ever going to be.

10:14 am

stidmama

there there, vi -- alpacas aren't boring, just... *considers word choice* functional.

10:14 am

stidmama

oh! it did! almost to halfway!

10:14 am

rururocks

I did not know there were so many boob options...

10:14 am

Judi

Let the record show that I have neither alien infestation nor extra boob(s).

10:15 am

NonoNanette

Haz dont forget to plural that relative

10:15 am

Becca Lorum

trying to work out what biblical cattle are

10:15 am

rururocks

Does Judi's "phone home?"

10:15 am

cybernan

140 down and off for the list

10:15 am

Haz1558

If you want options, just phone the new babble clue line - once it's up and running you'll be spoiled for choices.

10:15 am

Judi

*tosses bag of stem cells to Vic*. Grow your own!

10:15 am

Vicuna

Biblical cattle are relatives + a vowel

10:15 am

cybernan

think of the plagues in egypt

10:15 am

stidmama

becca, try : ki* (relative) + last four letters of the first book of the Bible

10:16 am

Vicuna

Thanks, Judi, but to tell the truth, when I want eccentricity I usually just go with the owl ont he head.

10:16 am

Becca Lorum

oh, I've never heard that word for cattle before. Thanks

10:16 am

NonoNanette

one more s word

10:17 am

stidmama

when I want eccentricity, I just make sure all the fuses are pointing the right way and plug in to the wall...

10:17 am

stidmama

go nanette go!

10:17 am

Vicuna

And then you get a dreadful eccentrical shock?

10:18 am

Becca Lorum

any clues for the left e?

10:18 am

stidmama

indeed I do -- sometimes! I had curly hair once...

10:18 am

stidmama

left E are en 6 and EC 6

10:18 am

cybernan

en 6 is the left e

10:18 am

Vicuna

ec6/21 and en6/18 come from the left E

10:19 am

stidmama

en 6: an + short for small land mass in big water

10:19 am

stidmama

ec 6: ec + end of first biblical book

10:19 am

Becca Lorum

thanks, i have them oth now - and a grey tile!

10:20 am

stidmama

ah. down to 100 and heading for the list when I come back. You folks are sure more interesting than looking at old census records and phone books!

10:20 am

Haz1558

I've never had a compliment like that before, stid. Thank you!

10:20 am

Vicuna

Ah, phone books. Just wait till you get to the Smiths. Fascinating!

10:21 am

Becca Lorum

I've never been compared to a phone book before either. Thanks stid!

10:21 am

Vicuna

I can hardly wait for the sequel!

10:21 am

NonoNanette

NonoNanette

6:57 pm

hurshy

as some of you who happened to be around may know, i was in a very bad car accident friday night. i was not hurt, but car rolled over twice. since then, i have found that a witness reported what happened all wrong (presumably, since he was on the side of the road, he wasn't actually paying attention before he heard the crash and just made up a picture in his mind about what had happened without even realizing that he was doing so), and the police report seems to be largely based on his statement, and it's all very very maddening.

6:57 pm

redturtlehead

good for things.

6:57 pm

redturtlehead

Hursh, I am glad that you are not hurt.

6:58 pm

pam

Hursh, I had no idea. Glad you weren't hurt.

That really and truly sucks, hursh. So-called witnessing....

6:58 pm

reparteena

so sorry hursh, thank the Lord you're ok!

6:58 pm

hurshy

the policewoman did not even put anything that i told her happened in her report.

6:59 pm

DR1965

Can you write down what happened and give it to them??? or your insurance Company????

6:59 pm

hurshy

of course. you have to write down what happened and give it to them and insurance. i did that. but like, i am concerned about being believed.

7:02 pm

redturtlehead

goodbye Min.

7:03 pm

hurshy

i feel like a lot of people i've had contact with as a result of the accident have just been really ... mean. even the guy at the towing place where i went to get stuff out of the glove compartment was like, i dunno, being judgmental about me having been in a crash, even though he knew nothing about it and it was not my fault. like "your car looks really bad so you must be bad".

7:03 pm

Minveryork

*waving goodbye to pam and point to the penalty box

LOl--I refuse to not use my adieu because it's gridded, min... Consequently, I own the PB when it's in the grid...

7:04 pm

pam

Hursh, hard as it is, I think you need to let go of what other people project on to you --- who knows what car accidents they've been in... Car crashes tend to do that to folks--hit close to home

7:05 pm

DR1965

I am sorry you are having a hard time Hurshy!

hi hurshy I'm so sorry to hear of your car accident.it must have been very scary

7:09 pm

hurshy

yes. it's just wounds of the heart caused by unreliable witness and derelict police officer.

7:10 pm

72 Temple Owl

hurshy: what is the worst thing that can happen as a result of those actions?

7:10 pm

hurshy

my insurance rates could go up.

7:11 pm

72 Temple Owl

hurshy: you've got to learnh to say, F*** 'em. higher insurance rates are no reason to feel bad about yourself and question the motives of other people.

7:12 pm

72 Temple Owl

IMHO not that you asked

7:12 pm

hurshy

i don't really question their motives. i don't think they meant to do anything wrong, i think it's just human psychology going awry.

9:08 pm

kje

that is very common hursh

9:08 pm

hurshy

one of my cats, marty, doesn't cuddle with my husband, only me. he doesn't dislike other people, but he's like the baby dinosaur on that 90's show "dinosaurs" - everyone else is just "not the mama!" so since i was away for several days, he is now on my lap every minute i have a lap.

9:09 pm

9:16 pm

I am thinking of training our dogs to be seeing eye dogs...for toddlers (they are maltipoos).

9:19 pm

stidmama

yep. *drops another irregular vowel*

9:19 pm

jesdraggon

they apparently have a lot of trouble finding dogs that'll make it through the training, because everyone wants small dogs, and all the rescues get are large dogs

9:20 pm

jmcnrick

the problem with hearing aids is that they do not discriminate between sounds

9:20 pm

stidmama

LOL dave!

9:20 pm

There are times when I wish my son (just 25 on 26th May) wasn't so like his father (my ex). There I was, happily watching a series of separate plays I'd downloaded from BBC and doing my ironing, when he came down to chat to me. But it's not a chat, it's a preaching session/a debate/a confrontational thing - certainly not relaxing.

10:16 pm

I've had over 2 hours of it and now, instead of going peacefully to sleep, I feel more in need of a drink!

10:23 pm

DR1965

10:24 pm

10:25 pm

DR1965

Jacula

I am now, DR, but I didn't used to be in my younger days until I learned to 'cont to 10 first'.

10:26 pm

10:29 pm

gapeach

Thanks, Hon.

10:29 pm

Jacula

I think the last time I really 'lost it' was when my daughter was about 3 and had emptied out all the contents of the drawers, cupboards, bookshelves and wardrobe in her room for about the 4th time in a week. It looked like there'd been a ri4 or a burglary. I just went ape and picked everything item by item off the floor and threw it forecfully along the landing whilst yelling. I remember that (now) Ex and the kids were holed up in the bedroom next door peeping out and ducking back in occasionally.:-(

10:30 pm

gapeach

ar5-10 the 3rd and 4th please. Thanks

10:31 pm

Jacula

I was like a woman possessed, but it wasn't all about the mess in the room. (I'd begun to suspect seriously at that point that my ex wasn't exactly a faithful kind of guy.)

10:31 pm

gapeach

Gotcha!

10:33 pm

Jacula

ar5/10 (1sr) is a town in France. ar5/10 (4th) is ar + 'not your bro'.

10:34 pm

gapeach

Thanks much,Jacula.

10:34 pm

Jacula

Another clue for the town in France = ar + *** Miserables.

10:35 pm

10:37 pm

harpjane

10:37 pm

Jacula

ca7, harp, is the plural of the ca6 before it. It has many meanings but is a female name I believe there is a song about.

10:37 pm

gapeach

I'm down to 2: el4-5 and si6-30 please. Thanks

10:38 pm

Jacula

Brookes & Dunn did the song, but it had a different 1st vowel.

10:38 pm

Jacula

gap - el4.5 = el + 'Hello' greeting.

10:39 pm

Jacula

si6/30 = si6 threads. (Golden and si6. maybe)

10:39 pm

gapeach

Thanks much...Jacula.

10:40 pm

Jacula

No need for the Richie Blackmore lyrics link then? LOL.

10:40 pm

gapeach

Have that one, dear....need the very last si6-30. Thanks

10:42 pm

Jacula

Ah! That's another name for a goldfinch, my dear. 'Not your bro' + 'a member of your clan or family'.

10:43 pm

Jacula

Speaking of birds - there's a magpie doing his machinegun cry outside my window right now.

10:44 pm

gapeach

That was it. Thanks again. I'll hang around for a few minutes in case I can be of help....then back at the flip.

10:44 pm

Jacula

Oh, he's sitting atop the lamp post and is probably having a go at a fox in the garden next door.

10:49 pm

herinfernallady

The secret is she like to hog the bed so she waits till himself is up then she takes over it :D

10:49 pm

Jacula

Herin - that's not true, as you know, if I have home soil in my box. LOL

10:49 pm

gapeach

The reason I asked is because I have a problem getting (and staying) asleep....sometimes I can't get to sleep before dawn.

10:50 pm

herinfernallady

Cat useless. go boot him out

10:56 pm

Jacula

10:57 pm

Jacula

ki7 - 1st = and old word for a cow + a 3-letter word usually but in brackets to say the word printed has been printed as recieved (i.e. with spelling error/s)

10:58 pm

Jacula

Or, failing that, try ki* (family or clan) + vowel + 'not well minus last letter' (think 'vomit')

10:59 pm

torgone

But I just spent a few enjoyable hours with a delightful person who has helped me realise that not all is horrible blackness ..

11:36 pm

angel13136

nan, it also varies in the U.S. - I didn't become a big tea-drinker 'til college on the east coast. CA is not big on tea

11:36 pm

danf63

MOSt of my family drinks tea...including my son. I think I'm the only one that doesn't like it

11:37 pm

danf63

iced tea is fairly popular here though

11:37 pm

cybernan

We were in CA -- and there weren't many non-Canadian tea drinkers

11:37 pm

DR1965

I am glad to hear that Torg- you had us worried last night

11:37 pm

Jacula

cyber - taking your own teapot and teacosy and teabags doesn't always help when going abroad ; the water's different and so it the milk. It just doesn't taste the same until you get back home.

11:37 pm

herinfernallady

oh Torg i have no idea what is happening but have a hug

11:38 pm

cybernan

I always use distilled water for my tea, so that doesn't make any difference.

11:38 pm

angel13136

true, dan, but not as big as it is in the south/midwest. In MO, my family always had at least one pitcher of iced tea (sweetened, of course). Unsweet, if we had strange company.

11:38 pm

Jacula

So, you might have had the most fantastic holiday, but the first thing you want when you get back home is 'a decent cup of tea'.

11:38 pm

dave70la

i just use instant tea...

11:38 pm

cybernan

yuck!

11:38 pm

angel13136

ewww...dave, I taught you better!

11:39 pm

herinfernallady

INstant Tea what the hades is instant tea?

11:39 pm

jillibus

ugh! Instant tea???

11:39 pm

danf63

so i just got told "not to be the way I am"...any ideas how i should manage that?

11:39 pm

Jacula

Dave - instant tea as an anathaema!

11:39 pm

dave70la

just kidding...i brew my tea too

11:39 pm

torgone

Jac please send it to me .. I would like to read that .. And I am sorry for what I did last night .. It was overly dramatic and a bit juvenile and I appreciate everyone's concern and I am sorry for being a ass ..

11:39 pm

dave70la

dan...everyone can change...admitting you have a problem is the first step.

11:39 pm

cybernan

Best selection of teas I found in CA was at World Market

11:40 pm

herinfernallady

Ok that is gross and up there with instant coffee

11:40 pm

angel13136

were you g***ing us? (Note the use of a grid word)

11:40 pm

Jacula

Torg - there is never total blackness, though it sometimes seems like it. If you just try to calm down and hold backa bit before 'doing something stupid', you will see the way out clearly lit.xxxxxx

11:40 pm

herinfernallady

The only instant tea i use is that stuff for peach tea iced drinks

11:41 pm

danf63

*clears throat* My name is Dan, and I don't have a problem...

11:41 pm

dave70la

i actually brew my iced tea too...instant anything is pretty worthless.

11:41 pm

angel13136

ROFLOL!

11:41 pm

Jacula

Torg - I have no idea what you 'did' last night because, for once, I was tucked up in bed sleeping.

11:41 pm

angel13136

(Sorry, when you feed me a straight line like that...)

11:41 pm

jillibus

I think I've told this tale before, but anyway -- my very Brit mother and I were travelling on a train in North Carolina and went to the dining car for tea. There was a conference at the other end of the car between the waiters, and eventually we were presented with a cup of hot water and a teabag on a lettuce leaf.

11:41 pm

dave70la

hey dan...maybe dr can give you the list of what is wrong with you...like she was doing for me the other day.'

11:41 pm

DR1965

Torg- I am just glad you are ok..

11:42 pm

danf63

DR...anything?

11:42 pm

DR1965

11:42 pm

angel13136

11:42 pm

danf63

11:43 pm

dave70la

11:43 pm

danf63

11:43 pm

cybernan

11:43 pm

angel13136

Dave, your daughter would like to begin that list for you now, beginning with "ruiner of fun plans"

11:44 pm

dave70la

nan...make it a double.

11:44 pm

angel13136

And, Martha says Rheanna is mad at you, too.

11:44 pm

11:44 pm

11:45 pm

torgone

Maybe I'll try this grid tomorrow ..

11:45 pm

DR1965

Dave- you ruined th eplan?

11:45 pm

DR1965

* the plan?

11:45 pm

Jacula

Torg - I'll try to find the poem n the piles of paper, but, basically, it said that every time your heart breaks and gets glued together again, just like a pot it gets stronger, if the right type of glue has been used. If a stopgap, cheap glue has been used then it just falls into more shards whn thrown into the air again. In the end, you get so many shards you wonder if they can all be reunited. And then The Master Mender comes along.

11:45 pm

danf63

eplan?

11:46 pm

DR1965

the computer version Dan

11:46 pm

danf63

11:48 pm

torgone

Niters Jacs .. I can't bear listening to these dorks in the hotel lobby tonight .. Great Leaping Mother of Abraham Lincoln on a Pogo Stick ..What a batch of dorks! ..

11:48 pm

dave70la

11:48 pm

angel13136

Oh, no! I laughed so hard I snorted!

11:48 pm

jillibus

obviously they had no idea how to make tea.

11:49 pm

angel13136

11:49 pm

dave70la

11:49 pm

torgone

Cheers .. Now I'm out ...

11:49 pm

Jacula

Try saying this, first slow and then fast, and faster: 'I'm not the pheasant plucker, I'm the pheasant plucker's mate. I'm only plucking pheasants 'cos the heasant plucvker's late.'

11:50 pm

jillibus

Jacula

jillibus
