2:09 am

2:13 am

sprite

halfway. How are you doing, fellow babblers?

2:14 am

lynxxx

hang on...I'll need to get up a sprint to catch up to you...have you had breakfast yet?

2:14 am

jillibus

33 left and heading for bed -- zzzzzzzzz

2:15 am

sleep well jilli.

2:15 am

jillibus

happy days, sprite and lynxx and anyone else here

2:16 am

lynxxx

nite Jilli, sleep well

2:19 am

sprite

back with bread and coffee.

2:20 am

lynxxx

good timing, just past halfway

2:20 am

sprite

wtg lyn! So far it seems a sweet grid.

2:21 am

lynxxx

not so sure about that

2:22 am

sprite

I still need 4 of the biggies though... might be bad in the end

2:29 am

sprite

I always try 9 with an R at the end. So odd that it does not work.

2:30 am

lynxxx

I do that too

2:30 am

sprite

glad I am not the only one :)

2:39 am

sprite

I need another coffee, back soon

2:47 am

sprite

back with nescafe wiener melange. Yummmmmmy.

2:48 am

lynxxx

coffee, sausage, but what is melange?

2:48 am

sprite

it is a kind of coffee with a touch of chocolate/cocoa in it.

2:49 am

lynxxx

oh, I thought wiener meant sausage, silly me

2:49 am

sprite

melange means mixture, I believe

2:49 am

sprite

no, wiener means 'from Vienna'.

2:50 am

sprite

and that is not silly at all

2:50 am

o-o

in the US perhaps a vienna sausage

2:51 am

sprite

exactly, grin. Hi BabbleRabble, good to see you.

2:51 am

o-o

hello sprite and lyn

2:51 am

lynxxx

hi BabRab

2:53 am

sprite

lyn, in Dutch, Vienna is written Wenen, so for us it seems logical. But 'wiener' and Vienna don't look that related at first view.

2:58 am

lynxxx

Just looked up the Def (here) a wiener is a frankfurter from a Wiener Wurst Vienna sausage. I guess 'mixed' is right anyway being a sausage - all kinds of things in it

3:00 am

sprite

melange as a word for mixture is especially used for mixtures of coffee or tea, in dutch.
Language is such a fun subject!

3:00 am

sprite

I think it translates as blend?

3:01 am

lynxxx

I have heard the word before but can't remember in what context

3:03 am

lynxxx

lol - it was the 'spice' on Dune!

3:04 am

o-o

Definitions of vienna sausage on the Web:
* short slender frankfurter usually with ends cut off
wordnet.princeton.edu/perl/webwn
* A Vienna sausage is a wiener. The word wiener means Viennese in German.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vienna_s
ausage
* A small frankfurter, often served as an hors d'oeuvre.
www.cookeryonline.com/Resou
rce/GlossaryS-Z.html

3:04 am

sprite

hahahaha.... well that settles it. I guess it is used for mixtures that are related to smell and taste.

3:05 am

sprite

thanks BabbleRabble!

3:06 am

lynxxx

we call the 'hors d'oeuvre' ones 'little boys' in Australia (wonder why?!). No kids party was complete without them - plus fairy bread of course

3:07 am

sprite

*giggles* I can see why. And we use them likewise, on children's parties.
What is fairy bread?

3:07 am

o-o

A collection containing a variety of miscellaneous things; A Viennese coffee speciality, half steamed milk and half coffee; A fictional drug in ...
en.wiktionary.org/wiki/melange

3:07 am

sprite

ah, nice! Dune made it into the wictionary, lyn!

3:08 am

sprite

argh... sin bin for me

3:08 am

lynxxx

Fairy bread is buttered white bread with hundreds and thousands sprinkled on them. 100's and 1000s are tiny multicoloured round sugar sprinkles

3:09 am

sprite

oh cool! We don't do that here, will remember to tell some mums of small kids. Must be perfect.

3:10 am

o-o

http://tinyurl.com/nvyy4o for definitions of melange ad nauseam

3:10 am

sprite

*checking out link*

3:12 am

sprite

oh indeed, used for yarns as well.

3:12 am

lynxxx

I may have heard it in connection with the yarns actually. TY BR

3:13 am

sprite

yes, that rings a bell here as well. Cool, BabbleRabble. The connotation with smell/taste might be dutch, I am looking. Could also be me being totally off mark of course.

3:15 am

sprite

yes that is dutch. Here it says it is used for potpourri and tabacco mixtures as well.

3:15 am

o-o

the right word is supposed to enhance communication not obnubilate

3:16 am

sprite

and also for candies. But there is a special meaning for diamond mixtures.

3:16 am

sprite

lol

3:17 am

sprite

obnubiwhat? would be the obvious answer to that, BabbleRabble!

3:19 am

o-o

"The lover whose soul shaken is
In some decuman billow of bliss."
Francis Thompson; The Way of a Maid

3:20 am

sprite

I looked it up :)

3:21 am

o-o

# obscure: make less visible or unclear; "The stars are obscured by the clouds"; "the big elm tree obscures our view of the valley"
# confuse: make unclear, indistinct, or blurred; "Her remarks confused the debate"; "Their words obnubilate their intentions"
wordnet.princeton.edu/per
l/webwn

3:22 am

sprite

decuman is vast, huge. In this sentence, anyway. Have we ever had this word in babble grids?

3:22 am

o-o

I believe so

3:22 am

lynxxx

my brain has just shut down...taking a break. BBL

3:23 am

o-o

be well, lyn

3:23 am

sprite

I like it, that word.

Bye for now, lyn!

3:23 am

o-o

I think I could handle a large billow of bliss

3:23 am

sprite

I wish it poured over you right now.

3:24 am

o-o

Is the little lion still enjoying his life's journey?

3:26 am

sprite

every step, as far as I can tell, BabbleRabble. He is so eager to learn new things, very curious mindset, likes a bit of a challenge. He wears himself out completely and then sleeps like a log.

3:26 am

o-o

Yeah, for Terra!

3:27 am

sprite

:D

3:28 am

sprite

my son took him walking a bit too far, yesterday. Terra simply dropped flatout on his stomach, hind legs stretched out behind him, front legs under him, head flat on the floor. Tim had to carry him home for the last meters.

3:29 am

o-o

He gave it his all.

3:29 am

sprite

he did, and then refused to be pushed any further. I love that.

3:30 am

Sally-catlover

Hi sprite, everyone. My son used to do that when small, sprite :-)

3:30 am

sprite

hi Sally, wonderful :)

3:31 am

Sally-catlover

Successful though :-)

3:32 am

sprite

very, and it should be. It took ME 40-odd years to learn to respect my own limits. Still am learning.

3:37 am

sprite

ok that wasn't supposed to be a stopper...

3:38 am

o-o

I am thinking

3:38 am

Sally-catlover

Sorry,, wresting with grid. Not finding this one good.

3:39 am

sprite

was for a moment afraid I'd ruined the atmosphere. I actually like this grid, but it has some tough-to-find words.

3:39 am

joshuavorbis

hi again

3:39 am

sprite

hi josh

3:39 am

Sally-catlover

hi josh

3:40 am

sprite

I managed to recall the yt word from memory, I was so proud, grinnnn.

Sally-catlover

3:44 am

joshuavorbis

NBT

3:45 am

o-o

the wi 6 describes an acceptance I could not countenance .

3:45 am

sprite

hey that is my missing 6 then, thanks!

3:46 am

Sally-catlover

I keep forgetting that there are two Ys - and thinking words won't work

3:46 am

joshuavorbis

ty babblerabble

3:48 am

Sally-catlover

3:49 am

Sally-catlover

I do find you very wi 5/22, BR!

3:50 am

joshuavorbis

3:50 am

3:50 am

o-o

3:51 am

sprite

fireworks.

I agree, BabbleRabble, and you are very good in providing some. Thanks again!

3:51 am

o-o

be well, josh

3:51 am

sprite

3:51 am

o-o

Congrats, sprite

3:52 am

suefrad625

I am the Treasurer on the PTCO at my sons school

6:10 am

mrpresident

lynxx, i called a meeting with the principle, and told him the issues. He is an idiot and wants to be 'liked'

6:10 am

NonoNanette

does zoe-anne have an attitude?

6:10 am

suefrad625

the parents hate me, theyll get over it

6:10 am

periwinkle

is is hard to deal with idiots

6:10 am

mrpresident

he won't do anything about it

6:10 am

periwinkle

6:11 am

suefrad625

I did what was right

6:11 am

suefrad625

6:11 am

mrpresident

6:11 am

suefrad625

suefrad625

I wouldnt give christmas bonuses to just the teachers

6:11 am

mrpresident

what happened sue!!

6:11 am

NonoNanette

My tortie did, it was her way or no way :)

6:11 am

suefrad625

they are NOT the school

6:11 am

westford

well good for you

6:12 am

suefrad625

so I took a vote and wrote every person in the school who works there $50

6:12 am

carleekat

oops..serious coversation... Tiptoeing to corner...

6:12 am

LynnNate08

gm all

6:12 am

herinfernallady

Sue you gave bonuses to teachers and helpers?

6:12 am

suefrad625

the parents are still having a hissy fit

6:12 am

suefrad625

yes herin

6:12 am

mrpresident

you know what sue, you just said the right thing... I can live with myself, cause I haven't done anything wrong

6:12 am

suefrad625

and the cafeteria works and maintanence

6:13 am

suefrad625

To thy own self be true

6:13 am

herinfernallady

Ok so if they are going to be so un happy about it give them a lump of coal

6:13 am

mrpresident

too right

6:13 am

westford

mrp do you have the authority to close down the canteen for a few days? that would get their attention

6:13 am

herinfernallady

Mr PRes dont be upset with yourself they will lose out on a wonderful person if they boot you

6:13 am

suefrad625

everyone makes up that school, and I will be damed if I tell the ladies in the office they arent as important as the teachers

6:13 am

lynxxx

MRP Ultimately it IS his problem. If you resign he is going to have to replace you. Tell him that you cannot continue in the current situation - much as you would like too

6:13 am

periwinkle

good for you, sue

6:13 am

Andree

gosh i hope next week is a better one, i bet you are glad its the weekend

6:14 am

suefrad625

but I kept all the promises also

6:14 am

suefrad625

we bought a new smart board (they are now fighting over where to put the lousy thing), paid for the field trips & raised moral

6:14 am

suefrad625

that is what I said I would do.

6:15 am

suefrad625

MrPres, the best advise I can give you, is tell them if they dont like it, Join and help or shut up

6:15 am

mrpresident

I have sue, and they can't handle it

6:15 am

suefrad625

I didnt take the job to make everyone happy, I took it because it needed a person who wasnt an ass kissser

6:16 am

mrpresident

andree, i am glad to not have to talk to those idiots!!!

6:16 am

suefrad625

so, in Dolly's words, tell them to "take this job and shove it"

6:16 am

westford

but you love the kids don't you mrp?

6:16 am

Andree

help with the 1st 2 in words please

6:17 am

herinfernallady

Sue. Smart BOard needs a room rotation routine if they don't like it stiff

6:18 am

mrpresident

I didn't take the job to make 'everyone' happy, I took it cause I am good at what I do and get results. The volunteers are happy, the kids are happy and the people who use the canteen are happy with what we (Kay AND I) have developed. They are all pissy about the financials, so is everyone else on the planet!!

6:18 am

suefrad625

MrP, seriously, the parents really hate me. Even off in the neighborhood they are still gripping. But when the cafeteria people, the office workers & the maint. people came up to me and told me that he/she was the only working person in the family and the $50 made Christmas for them, I knew that is why God made me take the horrid job.

6:18 am

mrpresident

we have smart boards in every room now

6:18 am

mrpresident

you are an angel sue... tell them all to FO and get a life

6:19 am

mrpresident

I do everything, and I mean EVERYTHING for my kids and the kids of that school

6:19 am

suefrad625

Herin, from you mouth to thier ears. I love smartboards, but I dont think it is a replacement for good teaching

6:19 am

Trifioso

we have smart boards in all the rooms too - and up to 29 kids in a class! I get so frustrated when our school dept decides to invest in technology and not people....

6:19 am

periwinkle

what is a smart board?

6:19 am

suefrad625

that is all you can do MrP.

6:20 am

herinfernallady

hang on you are telling me that those ungrateful SOB's are complaining about $50

6:20 am

suefrad625

Peri, it is an electronic whiteboard and a computer monitor, and a tv

6:20 am

periwinkle

opk

6:20 am

periwinkle

*ok* even

6:20 am

suefrad625

very much Herin

6:21 am

Trifioso

mostly they seem to exist so that teachers can check their personal emails in full view of their classes!

6:21 am

mrpresident

I do not give a flying flip about personality issues, griping parents or gossiping, mean-spirited people who have nothing better in their life but to criticize others.

6:21 am

suefrad625

I live in Concord NC, all the mills have closed, Philip Morris has moved and the Motor Sports industry has wittled to nothing.

6:21 am

herinfernallady

oh you are shitting me (pardon my french) $50 seriously what aholes. Sorry but $50 that is a nice meal for a family that is struggling that is a toy a kid may not have got. Wow that has me very saddened by the unkindness of others

6:21 am

suefrad625

everyone is out of work, and that $50, I will stand up for 100%

6:22 am

herinfernallady

I have tears in my eyes at the thought that people could be so nasty about $50

6:23 am

mrpresident

sue, they obviously are money mungers

6:23 am

suefrad625

a guy ever got in my face and said, "that is like giving a garbage man a tip for doing his job!", well I do that also I told him. Everyone, Everyone makes the WHOLE and when you dont remember that, you cause a weakness like cancer.

6:23 am

mrpresident

I believe that the whole issue I have at school is just because of financial woes, but I am a soft target.

6:23 am

Trifioso

who complained, sue, the teachers or the parents

6:24 am

suefrad625

that is right MrP, and I am a lot stronger then they thought.

6:24 am

suefrad625

Parents Trif

6:24 am

suefrad625

A lot of loud mouthed, cold hearted parents, who by the way, received Christmas bonuses at their jobs.

6:24 am

Trifioso

what did the want you to do with the money? and how many staff members are we talking here?

6:25 am

herinfernallady

Wow if the guy didn't clean the bins you would have rats. See next time they bitch and whine you ask them do they donate to help others?

6:25 am

suefrad625

70, and they wanted another 1/2 of a smartboard. All the money I gave, I personally raised.

6:25 am

herinfernallady

Mr PRes don't you take their sht either

6:26 am

mrpresident

do the parent's have voting rights?? was this a voted issue sue?

6:26 am

suefrad625

MrPres, stand for what right. You wont be able to live with sitting down. Your are not that kind of person. I would rather stand for what is right, then fall for anything.

6:26 am

herinfernallady

Ok you would be shocked at how much my old high school has

6:27 am

suefrad625

we voted on the PTCO, there is only 3 of us and we asked the Principle.

6:27 am

mrpresident

I told my friend today, I have the strength of character to see this through, and come out of it at the other end without suffering .... however......

6:27 am

suefrad625

it hurts anyway, doesnt it

6:28 am

herinfernallady

trhis is my old high school
http://tinyurl.com/nmhkt5

6:28 am

mrpresident

I do not have the fortitude, or resilience, if you like, to take the stress... it affects my health

6:29 am

mrpresident

it hurts so so much

6:29 am

mrpresident

well, if it was voted on, they can FO

6:29 am

suefrad625

yes it does, and I left because of it

6:29 am

herinfernallady

Mr PRES stop and think and dont take their crap

6:30 am

suefrad625

I could not believe people where so horrible. Now I send gift bags to everyone 2-3 times a year. They have chocolate or something little, but I just want them to know, they are appreciated

6:31 am

everything will be standardized..may as well build a kid prison

6:35 am

mrpresident

paranoia has become the founding problem of our parent committee

6:36 am

crosshair

you know that one school ,because of a great teacher,actually has a robotics course??? that wont be allowed to be in the super school you can bet on that

6:37 am

mrpresident

what is a superschool anyway?? another word for over extended classes and fewer teachers and facilities?

6:37 am

crosshair

anyways good morning mrp my darlin of the pretty eyes;))

6:37 am

herinfernallady

i just feel of my chair at the amount of stuff my highschool has and i bet you its still a viper den of homophobia

6:38 am

crosshair

actually homophobia is a dying art here since they have all the marriage rights etc..amazing how fast it became a non-issue

6:38 am

mrpresident

sue, when you bailed out, how did you do it??

6:39 am

mrpresident

oh good morning crossy! You are my blessing because of your warm and loving heart!! You are a sweetie!

6:40 am

mrpresident

I am wanting to quit, but do it with my reputation and past involvement in tact

6:40 am

suefrad625

I told the Principle, she can use me to through to the dogs to keep them from the school, and to tell them that because of thier concerns I would be excused.

6:41 am

suefrad625

I told some of them that they where using me as a distraction from the kids, and that would not due

6:42 am

Andree

nearly missed your post mrp, yes call me i will be home most of the day

6:42 am

mrpresident

Yesterday, I cried cause someone was so nice to me... actually, I had made a mistake and rang to apologise, and he said 'don't worry about it! no problem... and I will sort out all your other suppliers and make sure you have everything you need... let me handle it and you just take it easy love'.... I was so blown away, I sobbed and thanked him for being nice to me.

6:42 am

6:42 am

herinfernallady

Oh MR pres

6:43 am

mrpresident

ok andree... maddie has netball, I am hoping to see you around 2pm, but have to see what is happening with soccer (hoping it is off with this rain).
Otherwise, I will catch you during the week?

6:45 am

suefrad625

is netball, like volleyball or tennis?

6:45 am

mrpresident

see ya andree!

6:45 am

mrpresident

sue, how did you resign?? and did you keep the respect you deserved in tact??

6:46 am

mrpresident

netball is like basketball, but you can't bounce the ball, or take more than 1 and half steps without passing the ball

6:46 am

mrpresident

the court is divided into 3 sections, and only two people from each team are allowed in the goal circle

6:47 am

suefrad625

MrPres, that could take the respect and shove it, I have the dignity from God and the appreciation from the people at school who have NEVER gotten a bonus before.

6:48 am

mrpresident

sue, you are good.
You are a good person

6:48 am

suefrad625

mrp, I dont know how to say this nicely (my Yankee up bringing), you know in your heart you are right, that has to be good enough.

6:48 am

mrpresident

sue, I am inspired that you moved on and don't give a flying toss about who likes/dislikes you

6:49 am

mrpresident

yes sue, I agree... I just want to say it in a way that sticks it to them, and assures them that they can't do it to anyone else.

6:51 am

suefrad625

tthen stay

6:51 am

suefrad625

do the job as it should be done and dont care about them.

6:51 am

suefrad625

but I did care that they were able to stay on that one subject

6:52 am

suefrad625

they didnt think that not one of them helped at all with any of the events or even to help at the school

6:52 am

mrpresident

The people on the committee go like this:
President - no balls
Vice President - overbearing and everything is a meeting, meeting, meeting
Treasurer - fantastic! but soap opera inflicted
Secretary - self absorbed and very happy to tell everyone how wonderful she is cause of all her charity/committee/fundraising etc... praise me, praise me, praise me some more!

6:52 am

suefrad625

tell them what Jesus did

6:52 am

suefrad625

Those without sin, throw the first stone

6:52 am

LoriP

G'd morning again! Down to 13 after the first sweep. Grid remains quirky....

6:52 am

mrpresident

sue, I think staying there is a good way to stick it to them.
They will find a way to get shod of me, but it won't be pretty

6:53 am

herinfernallady

LoriP

6:54 am

suefrad625

mrp, I went down dirty and clean. I pissed them off with my honesty and integrity. I can look to God and say I did what was right for Him. That is all the respect I need.

6:54 am

suefrad625

*blushing furiously*

7:01 am

suefrad625

I didnt get my foodstamps this month because I messed up the paper work, so it will be until 6/11 before any help arrives from the Gov. I am a big shopper, so i have enough to carry us through, but my neighbor just came over with what he says is "overstock he wont ever use". It will help a lot, and it is because, what you give, is what you get.

7:02 am

Anniebrook

I wish someone would put the el7 in the chat accidently

7:02 am

suefrad625

Tut,tut, Annie. That's called incitement or entrapment or something.

7:03 am

Standing for what is right, but not popular...hurts. I have to read this book "Roads Less Traveled" for school. The first line is: Life is difficult.

7:04 am

suefrad625

so as long as you know that, and accept it, really understand it, then life gets easier.

7:04 am

I'm debating what to use for my icon today. I'd feel a bit sheepish about using ew4/8, I can't get much momentum for in7/36 and fear George might be offended if I use Carter to illustrate wy4/10. It's a bit of a lo7/36.

7:20 am

Well, it's about time for me to go and start thinking about maybe starting something.

8:13 am

Haz1558

Hello Takuma, it's pretty well stocked with babblets.

8:13 am

periwinkle

hello all

8:13 am

NonoNanette

dont think too hard Lori it will get you into trouble

8:13 am

LoriP

G'd morning Tak, this grid is right up your alley, quirky but doable.

8:13 am

NonoNanette

hi again Peri

8:13 am

periwinkle

laodicean was the winning word in the National Spelling Bee

8:13 am

Haz1558

Starting something? Any more details?

8:14 am

Takuma Sato

lol, thanks Lori

8:14 am

Rushie

What about a pronouncing bee peri, because I couldn't pronounce that with a gun to my head and a million dollars

8:14 am

LoriP

I don't like to say too much Haz, National Secirity and all 'dat.

8:14 am

periwinkle

missing a 7. I have el, inx2, lo.

8:14 am

Haz1558

Lay oh da see an

8:14 am

LoriP

with that, have a great day kids! Later gators.

8:15 am

Rushie

I'm not much of a huge random word fan

8:15 am

Takuma Sato

ciao Lori! Have a good one

8:15 am

Haz1558

te7 - combine a seabird with a charged particle

8:15 am

NonoNanette

same ones i have peri

8:15 am

periwinkle

most of the words in the bee I had never heard of let alone spell correctly.

8:15 am

Haz1558

Bye Lori!

8:15 am

Rushie

Especially when it's a word I will only use once in my life and that's wondering what the #%$@ it means.

8:15 am

periwinkle

thanks Haz

8:15 am

NonoNanette

ty Haz!

8:15 am

NonoNanette

bye bye Lori

8:16 am

periwinkle

lots of french words and words starting with vowels. and words that had more than one vowel in the middle

8:16 am

Rushie

I remember I saw one video on Youtube of some poor kid who had to spell "negus" and he's looking like... Dude did you just say the N-word?

8:16 am

periwinkle

Haz, where is Spangle and who is that in your icon

8:16 am

Haz1558

You're welcome (for the te7)

8:17 am

Haz1558

I think it helps if you can see the words in your head (for spelling)

8:17 am

Rushie

Yeah, I can spell really well but those spelling bees are hard

8:17 am

periwinkle

it helped that the winner had studied the final word

8:17 am

Haz1558

peri, Spangle is fine but I'm using the actor who played Carter in ER to illustrate wy4/10

8:17 am

periwinkle

ok, Haz

8:18 am

NonoNanette

oh excellent clue icon Haz

8:18 am

Haz1558

Thank you, Nono. He's decorative, isn't he?

8:18 am

NonoNanette

sure is

8:19 am

NonoNanette

i was surprized when i learned he had been on ER from the very beginning

8:19 am

Rushie

*sigh*

8:19 am

Haz1558

I always liked the character he played in ER. Young,rich, handsome and caring. Not George Clooney but you can't have everything.

8:20 am

EspritdJean

noah wylie is very cute

8:20 am

NonoNanette

I know Haz, I was so upset when George left the show

8:20 am

Rushie

...

8:20 am

Haz1558

The final ER was shown here last night - I enjoyed the programme before it 'Previously on ER' - lots of good memories.

8:21 am

NonoNanette

yes it was very good. It aired here about a month ago

8:22 am

Haz1558

We have hospital dramas over here, but I don't think they come close to matching ER.

8:23 am

Haz1558

My main problem is following what they're saying during the frantic minutes when a casualty arrives. Lots of 'STAT'!

8:23 am

NonoNanette

I think only those who work in the medical field would understand all of what they say

8:24 am

harpjane

good morning, does anyone have an icon clue?

8:24 am

Haz1558

I used to put the subtitles up just to make sure I hadn't missed anything.

8:24 am

NonoNanette

I do and so does Haz

8:24 am

Haz1558

Yes, harpjane - mine is of Noah Wy4 who played Carter.

8:25 am

periwinkle

what is yours a clue for nono?

8:25 am

NonoNanette

ew4/8 and 5/18

8:25 am

periwinkle

ok, got them, thanks nono

8:26 am

periwinkle

ok, need to get ready for my focus group, bbl to finish

Takuma Sato

8:26 am

NonoNanette

8:26 am

Takuma Sato

take care peri

8:27 am

Takuma Sato

wow - lots of words from the far end of the alphabet for a grid this size

8:27 am

Haz1558

Well, time I was doing something even more exciting than this! Happy babbling to all and bye for now.

8:28 am

NonoNanette

bye bye Haz

8:28 am

Haz1558

Bye!

8:28 am

Takuma Sato

good luck haz - have a great day

8:29 am

Takuma Sato

anyone have a definition for the wy4/10? dictionary.com doesn't, and I'm curious

8:30 am

NonoNanette

which one taku there are two

8:30 am

Takuma Sato

I mean, I'm curious about what it means, not "I'm strange"

8:30 am

Takuma Sato

oh! the one haz's icon provided a clue for

8:31 am

Nebelungenlied

(obsolete, except in Scots) To blame; to regard as guilty.

8:31 am

Takuma Sato

but thanks -- I got the other one, thanks to your question :)

8:31 am

Takuma Sato

Thanks, nebe!

8:36 am

Takuma Sato

8:37 am

Takuma Sato

hi dinok

8:37 am

dinok

hi tak. grid not to promising today

8:38 am

Takuma Sato

yeah, it's shaping up to be a tough one

8:40 am

Rushie

I'm not going any further on this grid, way too impossible for me

8:40 am

dinok

8:41 am

NonoNanette

more of the in6

8:41 am

dinok

Takuma Sato

heh, and the in6 I have can't be modified that way

8:43 am

Nebelungenlied

8:45 am

Takuma Sato

9:17 am

dinok

9:17 am

Anniebrook

in5---motionless, just laying there

9:18 am

Judi

In5: crazy; In7: more crazy

9:18 am

Scrabbler

Hello Babble buddies!

9:18 am

Judi

Hiya, Scrabbler!

9:18 am

dinok

is that in7/36?

9:19 am

Judi

Oops. No. Sorry, dinok. That's an in7/28.

9:19 am

dinok

hi scrabbler!

9:20 am

Anniebrook

Hi Scrabbs

9:20 am

mymuseisme

Hello everyone

9:20 am

LynnNate08

in 7 motionless?

9:20 am

Scrabbler

*phone call*

9:20 am

Anniebrook

Hi muse...long time

9:20 am

Trifioso

I am motionless today. Just can't seem to get it together. ever have days like that?

9:21 am

Anniebrook

Hi Trif...absolutely

9:21 am

mymuseisme

Hi Annie .. I know ... but babble is "pulling" me back.

9:21 am

mymuseisme

too many trif ;)

9:22 am

Judi

Hiya Trif, Annie, mymuse, etc. etc.

9:22 am

Anniebrook

Hi Judi

9:22 am

Scrabbler

Many days start like that for me, Trif. Move forward.

9:22 am

mymuseisme

hi Judi

9:22 am

Trifioso

I am sort of starting to think about moving....

9:22 am

mymuseisme

hi Scrabs ... how was your last kyaking trip?

9:22 am

MonkeyGames

Hi briefly!

9:23 am

Judi

Monkey! How ya bean?

9:23 am

dinok

hi monkey

9:23 am

Trifioso

monkey!!! hi doll!

9:23 am

Anniebrook

hi briefly back to you, MG

9:23 am

mymuseisme

hi MG

9:23 am

MonkeyGames

OK, stressed in the work search and Danny's work fiasco but otherwise OK!

9:23 am

Scrabbler

Great kayaking trip! No bald eagle sighting though.

9:24 am

Judi

Sorry to hear that, MG. Keep playing that lo7/36!

9:24 am

mymuseisme

aww ... well 3 new falcons born here in the city ... the closest I get to see is on the TV

9:25 am

MonkeyGames

Can't afford a lo7 ticket. Oh well.

9:25 am

Judi

Well, it was a good way for me to sneak a clue in, anyway.

9:25 am

MonkeyGames

I did find a perfectly good Weber barbecue being thrown away though, so that's gone a good way to cheering us up-- got some spare ribs slow-smoking as I write.

9:25 am

mymuseisme

oh thanks for the lo7, hadn't spotted it yet :)

9:26 am

MonkeyGames

I was using an old tin plant pot and a steamer. No smoking possibilities there, just quick and dirty grilling.

9:26 am

dinok

i dont get the clue

9:26 am

Judi

Mmmm. Yummy!

9:27 am

Judi

Game of chance, dinok. Numbers printed on a ticket...

9:27 am

MonkeyGames

Soaked them in rice wine and dark soy sauce and Chinese red sugar and Chinese chives and ginger for a while, now they're in there in a bath of that.

9:28 am

dinok

oh ty judy!

9:28 am

Judi

Dang, that sounds good, MG. Set the table, I'm coming over. I'll bring the beer!

9:28 am

Anniebrook

Back later for the elusive 6

9:28 am

MonkeyGames

You're on!

9:29 am

welki

re-hi. help with the last in 5/10 and 6/18 for fireworks, please

9:29 am

Judi

Or I should say, I'll smuggle in the beer.

9:29 am

MonkeyGames

You can bring something like 20 liters in your luggage.

9:30 am

Trifioso

I have an in 5.10 that is what you smooth clothes with + a vowel, if that helps at all?

9:30 am

Trifioso

ooops, sorry - that is an IR 5....

9:30 am

Judi

LOL! I'll keep that in mind. Although, I would be verry worried about breakage and subsequent beer-soaked clothes. Probably not the best idea.

9:30 am

dinok

welki,in7/36 take away last 2 letters

9:30 am

welki

thanks, trif, but they begin with ir .. i'm looking for in

9:31 am

MonkeyGames

I've managed it several times. Just use stiff-sided luggage and wrap each bottle separately in at least 2 t-shirts.

9:31 am

welki

that's the first in 5/10, dinok .. but thanks just the same :)

9:32 am

welki

probably something sooo simple to figure out

9:33 am

Judi

Really now, what crazy tourist would bring beer to the Netherlands? That would be like bringing salt water to the ocean.

9:33 am

MonkeyGames

Everywhere has its own nice beers. Keep the wealth spreading around, I say!

9:34 am

MonkeyGames

Hey, Aloy is in the grid!

9:34 am

dinok

the *****duction - the beggining

9:36 am

welki

ahhhhh! thanks, dinok's son! yay!

9:36 am

welki

can i help anyone before i go?

9:37 am

dinok

i need in7/36, and yvm!

9:37 am

Trifioso

how many ty words are there, please?

9:37 am

MonkeyGames

Well, I need... let's see... 82 clues... but I won't bother you with that now.

9:37 am

Judi

So, MG - How's our little copper-penny haired Walter doing?

9:37 am

MonkeyGames

Walter is on day 1 of chicken pox (visible spots day 1, that is), but seems to be OK so far, no fever, not so many spots yet, not so much itching. He's pretty moody though.

9:38 am

MonkeyGames

We popped in to the doctor this morning to confirm, and then he was able to go to school for a big party day (half day). He's not the first in his class to come down with it, one kid is ALL spots right now.

9:38 am

Judi

UHG! That's a bummer. Better to get the pox out of the way while he's young though.

9:38 am

welki

it's that first in 5/10 + the ending that might change a noun into a descriptor ... like i'm in heaven ... and then, this hot fudge sundae is heaven**

9:39 am

MonkeyGames

I know he'll probably be feeling pretty low in a day or so though. I'm glad he didn't have to miss the party today. Yes, early is better. I got it when I was 15, bleah.

9:40 am

Judi

I think I was 5 or 6. Whatever my older brother got, he generously gave to me. I'm sure my mother was always thrilled to have two sick kids.

9:40 am

MonkeyGames

Oh yes, taht's a total thrill. I just have Walter, but the neighbor has 3, one is just 4 and one is 2 and one is a baby. They all got the stomach flu recently. I was glad I am not her.

9:42 am

Judi

She has my sympathies. I found it easier not to have any children, so I didn't have to go through any of the diseases, or worry, or expense, etc.

9:43 am

welki

(no ty words)

9:43 am

dinok

is there a cclue 4 in7/36

9:43 am

MonkeyGames

Oh yes, that would be easier. But I can't imagine life without Walter. We did wait until I was 36-- that's just how things worked out. He will probably be an only child. Certainly can't think about a second one now, and i'm already 40.

9:44 am

Judi

Well, he's perfect, so you couldn't top him!

9:45 am

welki

i answered you at 9:38 (look down :)

9:45 am

Trifioso

thanks weilki - that would certainly explain why I can't find one!!!

9:45 am

MonkeyGames

Yes he is. Thank you for noticing. I'm not so worried about whether he'll be an only child or not. I was until I was 11 and it was fine with me.

9:45 am

mymuseisme

in7/36 add an adverb ending to a science term used to describe matter when it is inactive

9:45 am

dinok

or a clue 4 te7/28

9:46 am

Judi

Fair warning to everyone: there is a yt6/26.

9:46 am

welki

a sea bird + the end of the edible bulb that makes you cry (te 4/4 + on***)

9:46 am

MonkeyGames

How do you spell that shudery noise Sideshow Bob makes when he steps on a rake? No, I do have that one though. But still.

9:46 am

dinok

ty welki and muse

9:47 am

MonkeyGames

OK, must off to scrub things and put things away and check those ribs. I'll be back sporadically. Have fun, everyone!

9:48 am

mymuseisme

ty welki :)

9:48 am

Judi

See ya!

9:48 am

mymuseisme

ciao MG enjoy

9:52 am

dinok

OMG still 97 left!

9:53 am

Scrabbler

Phone call is done. I am helping a friend who is having marital problems--husband is interacting with another woman to an unclear extent and my friend has been struggling for a few wks.

9:53 am

Anniebrook

Can I get a clue for re 6/21?

9:54 am

Anniebrook

Scrabbs, I feel for your friend.

9:55 am

Scrabbler

I don't have that and 85 other words, Annie.

9:55 am

mrpresident

ah, the girls and boys of the later time are here!
Hello all :)

9:55 am

mymuseisme

Scrabbs, I know what she's going through ...

9:55 am

Trifioso

you are such a good friend, scrabbler!!!!

9:55 am

mymuseisme

hi mrp!

9:55 am

dinok

hi mrp

9:55 am

mrpresident

French Open is on... I do not sleep during the night.... vampire time!!
How is everyone!??

9:56 am

mrpresident

trif! muse! scrabbs! annie! judi! monkey! din! et al :)))

9:57 am

Scrabbler

She is giving him a chance to demonstrate commitment to her and their toddler son, but he is not showing signs of being a committed husband and father, so it is time to discuss separation. he is being such a jerk.

9:57 am

phaeton

hello

9:57 am

Scrabbler

Hi phaeton, mrp

9:57 am

Anniebrook

mrp :))

9:57 am

dinok

hi phae

9:57 am

mrpresident

oh man! Nadal is wearing a pink shirt!! Noooooooo! not a good colour on the boy

9:57 am

Trifioso

I can highly, highly recommend collaborative lawyers, scrabbler. It works

9:57 am

mrpresident

hi phae!

9:57 am

mymuseisme

hi phaeton

9:57 am

phaeton

Been there Scrabs...I wish her the best.

9:57 am

dinok

lol!

9:57 am

Scrabbler

Oooh, maybe I should switch to the laptop and sit in front of the TV.

9:58 am

Anniebrook

Scrabbs...stupid husband..

9:58 am

Anniebrook

hi phae

9:58 am

mrpresident

If I have already had 4 glasses of wine... would a 5th really make any difference??

9:58 am

Scrabbler

One of my sisters is a lawyer, and has gone through divorce, so my friend will call her now.

9:58 am

Trifioso

I fear it may tomorrow, mrp!

9:58 am

mrpresident

who is getting unhitched???

9:59 am

Anniebrook

mrp...only if you want to stand up

9:59 am

mrpresident

ah trif... no commitments tomorrow!

9:59 am

Trifioso

me, for one

9:59 am

Scrabbler

My friend, mrp, is dealing with a suddenly jerky husband.

9:59 am

mrpresident

surprise surprise surprise! don't fall off your chairs! I actually am not 'volunteering' for something this weekend!

10:00 am

mrpresident

suddenly jerky huh?? hmmmm, suss.

10:00 am

Scrabbler

Good for you, mrp. rest, relax, spend time with Lickety and the kids.

10:00 am

dinok

*he falls*

10:01 am

mrpresident

my babies came home to me tonight, after 3 days away!! No contact... no nothing!!
I wanted to die! But the little angels are sleeping next to me now.... puuuuurrrrrrrr

10:01 am

Scrabbler

*wide butt remains firmly planted on chair*

10:01 am

mrpresident

LOL! I surprised myself!

10:03 am

suefrad625

hello again all, the Jeep is ready for trading!

10:04 am

suefrad625

man there was a lot of dog hair

10:04 am

dinok

hi sue

10:04 am

mrpresident

suddenly jerky husband can be one or more of three things:
he is in midlife crisis
he is cheating with another man/woman
drugs

10:04 am

mymuseisme

hi sue ... good luck with the trade

10:05 am

Scrabbler

My first auto was a 1988 Jeep Cherokee. I loved it and drove it to 197K miles.

10:05 am

suefrad625

that is what we are trading in

10:05 am

dinok

wow!

10:05 am

suefrad625

suddenly jerky husband my ass, he just got caught

10:06 am

mrpresident

oooh, first cars!
Mine was a Honda Accord.... 1985... kermit the frog green!

10:06 am

Scrabbler

mrp, it is "midlife" stuff---married x 4 yrs, toddler son, financial demands, debt, AND a younger woman, also with a son, is tempting him.

10:06 am

mrpresident

scrabs, he is a dickhead and will regret it all

10:07 am

Trifioso

okay, I am going to go and try to add some value. 20 words left for later....love to all!

10:07 am

mrpresident

love you too trif!

10:07 am

suefrad625

bye tri

10:07 am

dinok

cya trif

10:07 am

mrpresident

don't mind me... just speaking my mind

10:07 am

mymuseisme

ciao trif ... hand!

10:07 am

Scrabbler

He has become mean, nasty, and then at other times is nice and loving. I think he is ambivalent--wants to behave like an adolescent again, but also understands what he "should" be doing as a responsible adult/husband/father.

10:08 am

Scrabbler

Bye Trif! (Trif)

10:08 am

mymuseisme

I agree mrp ... could be a case of the grass looks greener on the other side ...

10:08 am

mrpresident

mean, nasty... nice, loving....
bipolar

10:08 am

suefrad625

scrabs, tell her to stand up and know that this is not due to her lacking in any way and that he needs to divorce him and forgive him truely. Then God will squish him like a bug. that will be after he marries this twit, pays your friend child support, and then he will cheat on her.

10:08 am

suefrad625

like I always say, what goes around, comes around.

10:09 am

mrpresident

leopards don't change their spots

10:09 am

Scrabbler

Could just be confused too....he never acted this way before and he is 34.

10:09 am

suefrad625

that is young scrabs

10:09 am

suefrad625

he just got through his childhood, now he knows stuff

10:09 am

Scrabbler

I am supporting her so much

10:10 am

mrpresident

i find it facinating that some of my friends have nabbed husbands that have cheated on their ex-wives... then they wonder why their husband leaves them for another woman!
DUH!@

suefrad625

and stuff is filling his eyes. and if he was confused and honest, he would have gone to counciling w/and without your friend.

10:10 am

Scrabbler

I do not think he is bipolar, perhaps he is depressed over his current situation

10:10 am

phaeton

mid-life crisis

10:11 am

Scrabbler

He is confused and is struggling with life's responsibilities

10:11 am

mrpresident

scrabs, no excuse... there is always therapy... and a child to think of

10:11 am

suefrad625

Scrabs, I stood by my X through 3 seperations, it was enough. I was and still am better then that

10:11 am

suefrad625

mid-life phae, he is only 34, will he do this again at 50?

10:11 am

phaeton

my ex was younger than that when he started his roving eye

10:12 am

mrpresident

oh hell no! life's responsibilities are waiting around the corner like a hungry tiger.

10:12 am

suefrad625

He has no right to make her feel like she is feeling. I know she is scared, but tell her God doenst give more then you can handle.

10:12 am

Scrabbler

My friend has given him a few wks to demonstrate his willingness to be committed and to get help, to repair the marriage. It is time to separate now. I am so disappointed in him.

10:12 am

suefrad625

that is why he is an ex, right?

10:12 am

phaeton

hard to say, my ex went through another wife before finally settling down, with someone that he didn't want me to become

10:12 am

mymuseisme

Scrabs, no empathy ... what is different from what he is thinking of perhaps leaving and going to? would be even more responsibilities financially

10:13 am

Scrabbler

Yes, mrp, he has no idea how much divorce will cost him financially, and child support.

10:13 am

phaeton

right! I got tired of being told he didn't love me, I wasn't the kind of wife he wanted, but when I filed he said his whole life was ending...the kids and I were his whole life...HAH!

10:13 am

mrpresident

i don't think that some men think this through.... leave the wife and child... rack off with another woman with a child...
hello??? expensive much?

10:14 am

suefrad625

scarbs, I would tell her to let him go, get the seperations papers done so that when he wants to show off for his girlfriend buying a bunch of stuff they cant afford, it wont come back on her.

10:14 am

phaeton

He tells the kids it was the worst mistake he ever made...hindsight!

10:14 am

Scrabbler

Yep, she is going to speak with my attorney sister this morning and learn how to protect herself and her son

10:15 am

suefrad625

then I would advise her to go to a divorce care class, to see what life will be like for her again. She is going to be ripped in half by this, two became one, and it is not a clean cut.

10:15 am

mrpresident

if I left lickety, I would be a stupid beyatch with little regard for myself and my children!
Everything can be resolved. Just My Opinion!

10:15 am

phaeton

Give her all the support you can!

10:15 am

dinok

woah, tough conversation!

10:15 am

mrpresident

ya reckon dinok! LOL

10:15 am

suefrad625

And then I would wish him the best, because he will need it to be with a woman that would take a man away from his kid.

10:15 am

Scrabbler

She will need to grieve for what she hoped her life would be, but she will be better off without him. We will surround her with love and support.

10:16 am

mrpresident

sue, she is a slag

10:16 am

suefrad625

that is what she will need

10:16 am

suefrad625

lol

10:16 am

dinok

anyway i gotta go 4 a while. bbl babblers!

10:16 am

suefrad625

10:16 am

Scrabbler

Bye Dino

10:17 am

mrpresident

see ya din :)

10:17 am

suefrad625

scrab, you also have to give her alone time to fall into the pit that she alone can climb out of

10:17 am

suefrad625

that will give her the strength to not deal with this again

10:18 am

mymuseisme

Scrabs, what is his excuse for spending time with this other woman?

10:18 am

suefrad625

it will be horrible to watch, but time heals, not you. She need to get mad at the maker and cry with the child. Curl up next to him and find her reason for life. then she can see the light again

10:18 am

mrpresident

all I can say at this interception is....
dumbass!!!

10:19 am

Scrabbler

I was always unea** with this guy, even before the marriage, but I couldn't quite pinpoint why.

10:19 am

suefrad625

My favorite candy is the sugar fruit slices!

11:24 am

Uniquity

FM is throwing off her underpinnings and waving them at the lumberjacks.

11:24 am

Haz1558

The i words aren't too unusual, TO. A little crazy, a little motionless, but not unusual.

11:25 am

72 Temple Owl

and robud is so sparkly!

11:25 am

Uniquity

Cirque was phenomenal. I only wish I could watch every one of the 17 shows here :P

11:28 am

72 Temple Owl

11:28 am

Haz1558

We could have a chorus of 'Starry starry night'

11:28 am

Uniquity

Usually the motion icons just do not work for me...I like that one though, glittering away.

11:28 am

Haz1558

I haven't, TO. What's it all about?

11:28 am

72 Temple Owl

11:29 am

Haz1558

'Are the stars out tonight?'

Haz1558

You're welcome.

11:34 am

Uniquity

Citizenship, pah! You're still part of our motherland. Get a work visa or something. I could move home and we could make the boys live in the shed and have parties all day and night. Come on down for an ocean view!

11:35 am

Haz1558

All day and all night parties? And when does she get time to babble at that rate?

11:35 am

72 Temple Owl

any compound words beginning with oxygen?

11:36 am

FMitch

We will build the PB and hold 24/7 Babble parties :D

11:36 am

Uniquity

Babble parties sometimes, silly. You and Ata could come too. Bring Spangle, Hobbit and Sily. Emma will rule them all.

11:37 am

Uniquity

FM, you really need a pet so we can talk about her. Needs to be a her, as well.

11:37 am

11:38 am

Haz1558

You have a pink something. Did Ata not disclose it one time?

11:38 am

Uniquity

Is pink hippo a reference to the things under the thongs??

11:39 am

Haz1558

Enjoy the sun, TO!

11:39 am

Uniquity

Bye, TO! Thanks for dropping by at the same time as me, :)

11:42 am

72 Temple Owl

Scrabbler

Nope, Owl, but I can be here.

Haz1558

How many of those pills was I supposed to take?

11:43 am

Scrabbler

I just took my pills, LOL.

11:43 am

Haz1558

Was 5 too generous a dosage?

11:43 am

FMitch

Nope TO the only pink ish thing I have ever had as an icon was Ermintrude the Cow from the Magic Roundabout.

11:44 am

FMitch

LOL Haz, see you in about 2 weeks then with that dose!

11:44 am

Scrabbler

Z is done.

11:44 am

Haz1558

Ah yes. FM is named after Ermintrude, did you all know that?

11:44 am

72 Temple Owl

oh now wiat a darn minute.....no more sending me out looking for uk cartoon and childhood characters, that ended badly last time.

11:44 am

Uniquity

Perhaps you've got a bug or a worm somewhere you could dye pink, use as a pet and name Hippo. Then we would all be right.

You'll not go wrong with Ermintrude, TO - very innocent little programme.

11:45 am

Scrabbler

LOL, Cwossy

11:45 am

72 Temple Owl

yep. i have heard that before. like with captain hornblower or whatever.

11:45 am

FMitch

oookkk Uni if that would make you happy I have a pink sock and I will call it Emma2

11:46 am

Haz1558

Captain Pugwash.

11:46 am

11:46 am

11:46 am

72 Temple Owl

you could make a caterpillar from the pink sock. like a sock monkey.only a pink worm. with lots of legs.

11:47 am

FMitch

lvery creative TO, love it.

11:47 am

Haz1558

Gulp. The thought of needles and threads....

11:47 am

Haz1558

Or could you staple on the legs?

11:47 am

FMitch

and thimbles :)

11:47 am

Uniquity

Too much gulping. I think everyone has raided a certain wine cabinet....

11:47 am

72 Temple Owl

no needles. no threads. fabirc glue.

11:48 am

FMitch

Oh did ruru leave his keys in the PB again?

11:48 am

Haz1558

Fabric glue? Why couldn't that have been around in the days when my sewing teacher was trying to torture me?

11:49 am

72 Temple Owl

staple on the legs. sounds cruel.

11:49 am

Haz1558

You'd anaesthetise the worm first, of course.

11:50 am

Uniquity

Bigger than Ruru's resources, I am thinking ;)

11:50 am

FMitch

or use pipe cleaners and just poke them through the sock

11:50 am

Haz1558

Oh, good thinking FM. You can get sparkly pipe cleaners for extra oomph.

11:51 am

FMitch

ruru has a vinyard, how much bigger are we talking??

11:51 am

72 Temple Owl

well it would not be alive until you stictched the last stictch, so s'ok.

11:51 am

72 Temple Owl

what ARE you lot talking about, fm and uni?

11:52 am

Haz1558

Beats me, TO. They need to stick to the subject at hand, i.e. the creation of an animal from a pink sock.

11:52 am

FMitch

Uni implied some had been on the booze and I was just questioning her facts :)

11:52 am

Uniquity

How about a parrot? Buy some feathers, glue them on (not hot glue, of course) and voila. A parrot.

11:53 am

72 Temple Owl

well it's is nearly time to go. wokring on a project and i fear a colleague has los tthe data. after working for two days on it. i hope i am wrong.

11:53 am

FMitch

Oh Ata has lots of feathers, I could steal some of them.

11:54 am

Uniquity

With Hobbit around, you could get the feathers straight from the source. IE - a mouldy dead crow.

11:54 am

72 Temple Owl

a matter of not renaming file after data has been entered, it's on a shared drive.

11:54 am

crosshair

someone say booze?

11:54 am

HE has watched me play for a while and is somewhat familiar with how Babble works

7:00 pm

Bugsaw

I don't believe kids who know themselves are misbehaving. I admire their spunk. A friend's son heard an adult swearing at a kid on the ski hill and even though he was younger than the kid getting chewed out, Mathew went up and told the out of control adult that he did not appreciate that kind of language in public and it was not appropriate to talk to anyone that way. All the adults standing around clapped because he said what they were thinking.
