stidmama

I would be an angelina if they counted the county for that term, but apparently they only use the city for that designation. *sigh* I would have liked to be an angelina...

12:04 am

Pinikula

I'm a "military brat"...no "hometown"

12:05 am

stidmama

as it is, as an adult I am not even an Olympian, since we live outside in an unincorporated area

Know the feeling pini, I am also a brat.

12:07 am

stidmama

12:08 am

Pinikula

ROFL ...

12:08 am

jillibus

I'm sort of a Shanghailander (the term for the Europeans living there) rather than a Shanghainese (the Chinese residents)

12:08 am

Pinikula

...it's the dau that has the obsession...

12:08 am

J. C.

There are flying army boots in here? Is it safe???

12:23 am

MLFAN17

TE 6

12:23 am

Pinikula

prefix, eh? hmmmm..

12:23 am

J. C.

I haven't finished any grids in ages, PAV - usually don't have time to. :/ But, I start them anyway - that's why my ranking's in the toilet now. :P

12:23 am

mrpresident

hi PAV!

12:23 am

J. C.

*FLUSH!*

12:24 am

mrpresident

my toilet is rank too!

12:24 am

J. C.

Ewww, mrp! :P

12:24 am

MLFAN17

12:25 am

mrpresident

can't right now JC... no point!

12:25 am

J. C.

Hmmm . . .

12:25 am

J. C.

Should I ask why? No . . . probably not. :P

12:26 am

Kazozz

JC when your mind is in the gutter..probably appropriate to have your ranking in the toilet?

12:26 am

J. C.

Are you inferring that MY mind is in the gutter, Kaz? ME??? :O Never!!! :P

12:26 am

mrpresident

la5 --->la7---->la8

12:27 am

mrpresident

JC, just be happy that the internet doesn't have smell-o-vision!

12:27 am

Pinikula

mrp...you're on a roll!

12:27 am

Kazozz

uhmm.... that little innocent me act doesn't work with me JC lol

12:27 am

PAV3

well JC, finishing is a prerequisite for my self-centered egotistical alt-ego...but I do manage to keep my toilets clean...if anyone would care to visit...my kitchen on the other hand could use some work...

12:27 am

Kazozz

mrp has grossed me out

12:27 am

J. C.

No, Kaz - that's because ruru isn't here to polish up my halo for me. He does that, you know - someone has to. :P

12:28 am

Kazozz

<--- pays someone to clean her kitchen and toilets lol

12:28 am

mrpresident

ruuster has his halo in the toilet!

12:28 am

J. C.

I cheat, PAV - cleaners come in to do that, although we do maintain it in between.

12:28 am

MLFAN17

IN 7/8

12:28 am

Kazozz

i cant make any words coz i'm laughing my butt off at the chatter this evening

12:28 am

PAV3

polishing a halo...is that an euphemism? or double entendre?

12:28 am

J. C.

Hmmm, mrp - ruru's is in the toilet, yet he polishes mine?

12:28 am

J. C.

Perhaps I don't want to know what he polishes it with? :P

12:29 am

J. C.

I know - toilet cleaner. :P

12:29 am

mrpresident

well JC... I only call them how I see them! LOL

12:29 am

J. C.

Oh, sorry Kaz . . . it's always a risk one takes when I'm around, though. :/

12:29 am

PAV3

ok off to walk Joey and then I'll come back and perhaps attempt a failure...

12:30 am

mrpresident

12:40 am

joshuavorbis

12:47 am

joshuavorbis

12:47 am

J. C.

HAHA, Josh - how funny!

12:47 am

J. C.

So we hae the same initials - probably not the same surname though.

12:47 am

J. C.

And definitely not the same first name, if you are Joshua?

12:47 am

MLFAN17

lynxxx

12:54 am

Douglas

I haven't been around in a while...it's a good thing I'm not holding myself to a very high standard of Babbling, as I have all of 50 words

12:55 am

Douglas

12:55 am

Kazozz

JC its related to the ea 4..past tense?

12:56 am

jillibus

12:56 am

Douglas

And while Oster is in the grid, it's not a word, but it describes my brain, in a blender

12:58 am

J. C.

Thank you, Kazozz! *MWAH!* ;)

12:59 am

J. C.

Douglas

We've had a few decidedly unsummery days, the last couple of days have been that way

1:02 am

J. C.

6:25 am

herinfernallady

OH Rolin that sounds nice

6:25 am

Jacula

Sounds lovely.

6:25 am

rolin

its been between 30 and 35 all week...but its not like london..the heat here is bearable

6:26 am

Jacula

We're off to Devon in a couple of days. No internet access where we're going, though.

6:26 am

herinfernallady

You people are so lucky to be off running about in the sun

6:27 am

Jacula

I think I'll be doing more reading than running, Herin.

6:27 am

Jacula

With the odd bit of strolling and swimming thrown in.

6:28 am

herinfernallady

Ok lounging then

6:29 am

Jacula

10 words to find and then I must get off to do 1001 jobs - ironing, washing, packing, cooking, fruit picking etc., etc.

6:29 am

rolin

well we are doing a good mixture of touristy things and doing nothing...today is a nothing day... thk goodness for unsecured wi-fi

6:30 am

Jacula

They seem to have the internet all locked up in Devon, Rolin. Still, a week without a pc is probably a good thing.

6:31 am

herinfernallady

Jac take lots of puzzle books

6:32 am

Jacula

I do, Herin, plus books, sketchpad etc.

6:32 am

herinfernallady

nice

6:32 am

Jacula

Oh, and cards and boardgames, and dvds.

6:33 am

herinfernallady

nice. We don't do cards or board games

6:33 am

Jacula

You should, it's a laugh.

6:34 am

Jacula

And we'll take the Wii. Great fun 'bowling' etc. There's also a mini bowling alley nearby.

6:34 am

herinfernallady

Nope Board games are BORED games in our house. THat and himself sucks at scrable

6:35 am

Jacula

Can't play Scrabble with other half as he's dyslexic but we play things like 'Payday', 'Snakes & Ladders', 'Game of Life' etc.

6:35 am

Jacula

Might even dig one of the Trivial Pursuits out this time.

6:36 am

herinfernallady

He would rather play his pc. We had 3 days without stuff

6:36 am

Jacula

Shame, it's good to interact.

6:37 am

Angelsong

fireworks

6:37 am

Jacula

Well done, Angel.

6:37 am

Jacula

5 to go here.

6:38 am

herinfernallady

Yah Jac.

6:38 am

herinfernallady

Wow Angel i mean. Jac its not our thing.

6:39 am

Jacula

Oh well, we can't all like the same things Herin.

6:39 am

herinfernallady

I would love to play scrabble.

6:43 am

Uniquity

Clue is a good one :) I love board games and jigsaw puzzles. Cranium is a favourite as well. We adapt it for a two player game. Also, trivial pursuit 90s edition, as we are young enough to know some of the answers.

6:44 am

Jacula

I like jigsaws, too. Got lots stacked up still to do. I like WAJIG ones and the Jan Van Haasteren ones.

6:45 am

Jacula

Uni - have you got the music edition of TP?

6:45 am

Jacula

*WASJIG

6:45 am

Uniquity

Oh, I have not. That would be one we could do very well at, I think. As for jigsaws, we just do whatever ones have made their way to us. The family sort of recycles them that way.

6:46 am

Jacula

I'll get it right in a minute! WASGIJ (jigsaw backwards) The puzzle is only clued by the pic on the box and is what the person in the pic on the box might be seeing.

6:46 am

Jacula

If that makes sense.

6:47 am

Uniquity

That sounds extra difficult. I think it is cheating to look at the box, so I try not to.

6:47 am

herinfernallady

My b.fs family was playing Quiddler but i didn't play as they would have made me feel stupid even if though I would wipe their behinds butt

6:47 am

Jacula

Our Queen is a member of a jgsaw lending library.

6:47 am

Jacula

I do seem to be having trouble typing jigsaw in any form today. LOL

6:48 am

Jacula

Not heard of Quiddler, Herin. Must check it out.

6:48 am

Uniquity

Ooh, Balderdash is one I love playing with a group of friends. We all do so well at convincing each other weird things.

6:49 am

Jacula

Looks interesting. I see there's an online version as well as the card game to buy.

6:49 am

herinfernallady

JAc: http://tinyurl.com/5bvyej

6:49 am

Jacula

I've been after Balderdash for a while now. Not seen it in any of our shops.

6:49 am

Jacula

Pictionary is fun.

6:52 am

Scrabbler

Hello all!

6:52 am

Jacula

Hi Scrabbs.

6:53 am

herinfernallady

OH I just heard the best news

6:53 am

Jacula

What's that, Herin?

6:54 am

Scrabbler

I love jigsaw puzzles and group games! We played Taboo the other day and always laugh so much with that game. Pictionary is fun too. I don't have Quiddler or Balderdash. Catch Phrase is another fun one for groups.

6:54 am

Scrabbler

Yikes, this grid is huge.

6:54 am

herinfernallady

One of our BIG supermarket chains has ditched the GST on all feminine hygiene products.

6:55 am

Scrabbler

That is the right decision!

6:55 am

Jacula

Is that like VAT?

6:55 am

herinfernallady

Goods and Services Tax

6:56 am

Jacula

Vale Added Tax

6:56 am

herinfernallady

It seems the people have spoken and finally a GIANT supermarket has listened

6:56 am

Jacula

Value I meant.

6:57 am

Jacula

I've always maintained that tampons and towels would be free if men had periods. After all, we can't help having them!

6:57 am

herinfernallady

Now they need to do the same on baby products

6:58 am

Jacula

FIREWORKS!:-)

6:59 am

herinfernallady

Yah Jac

6:59 am

Sorry to cut and run but I've so much to do before we go away. Happy Babbling all. x

7:44 am

let alone the thought of having snakes in the house with kids is beyond me

7:44 am

redturtlehead

There is always an inherent risk with pets. Kids have been hurt similarly by Dogs, even normally well behaved dogs...

7:44 am

Scrabbler

I just read that snake story--awful.

Hello everyone. I just found out that if you click on the Babble logo (top left on screen) it refreshes

7:53 am

redturtlehead

THough, Scrabbs, there are signs that it is improving slightly, home sales are up (thank god!), and I do see some consumer spending increasing.

7:53 am

Scrabbler

I did that just for fun now, Lynxxx.

7:53 am

herinfernallady

I did that the other day Lynxx

7:53 am

Hi jm and Nanette and judi. i went into kitchen to make oatmeal and cover it with raspberries

8:01 am

jmcnrick

hi scrabs!

8:01 am

Scrabbler

Anyone ever have steelcut oa**? better than regular?

8:02 am

NonoNanette

mmmmmmmm sounds good Scrabs

8:02 am

Judi

Never tried them, Scrabbler. Do they take longer than instant?

8:02 am

mom2han8

scrabbler... I am fond of Irish oats my own self... don't know if they are steel cut or not.

8:02 am

herinfernallady

I was talking to b.f about moving states. i would love Sydney - Too expensive and he wont move there and the other states are not appealing. I declare we need more states. OH maybe Perth.

8:03 am

jmcnrick

I have them from time to time--the main problem with instant is that they get so mushy

8:03 am

Scrabbler

I don't know, but I heard of steelcut oa** and wondered what makes them special other than I saw yesterday in the store that they cost more

8:03 am

mom2han8

They are a big treat for me... but they remind me of my childhood... so, once in a while, I buy McAnn's... 4 times the price of regular.

8:03 am

Scrabbler

I saw those too, mom2

8:03 am

herinfernallady

I love oa??? with a tad of apple / juice in the boiling process

8:03 am

Judi

lol, Scrabbs. Well they MUST be better then, if they cost more!

8:03 am

mom2han8

Those I can vouch for Scrabbler...

8:03 am

jmcnrick

when my husband was alive we concluded we were stuck with DC because I wouldn't move any farther norht and he would n't move anyfather south

8:04 am

Scrabbler

Silly me, Judi, I should have realized that.

8:04 am

mom2han8

I recently saw "instant" Irish oats... never tried them... would be afraid... the McAnn's take about 40 minutes, but worth it!

8:04 am

jmcnrick

they cost more because they are careful chopped rather than randomly ground

8:05 am

mom2han8

Good to know jmc!

8:05 am

herinfernallady

JMC Adelaide is very pretty but so so boring. Tasmania is too small. NSW most parts I want to live too expensive, Perth to far, Canberra too boring and Queensland / Darwin too hot

8:05 am

Judi

There's always those lateral moves. jmc. Maryland, other points in Virginia, West Virginia! Stop me before I keep going west.

8:05 am

mom2han8

The thing I like about the Irish oats is that they have flavor (yes, imagine that)... and they stand up to the milk!

8:05 am

Scrabbler

Confession: I am eating my oa** uncooked as I like them this way sometimes.

8:05 am

jmcnrick

I am a fount of useless information

8:05 am

mom2han8

I like them raw on yogurt

8:06 am

mom2han8

that's ok jmc... better than being useless fount, LOL.

8:06 am

Scrabbler

herin, I cannot help you with knwoing where to live in Australia

8:06 am

I would love to live in NY or New Orleans

8:06 am

ItsOK Scrabbler. I am bored and getting itchy feet again

8:06 am

8:07 am

Judi

8:07 am

NonoNanette

just did a search on them and they are cut into pieces rather than rolled. They have a nuttier texture but take longer to cook

8:07 am

mom2han8

Would not reccomend NO at this time.

8:07 am

Scrabbler

Are you in NJ or NY, mom2?

8:07 am

herinfernallady

Heck if i had the money I would. NO yes issues with that whole weather thing but for me meh

8:07 am

Whats wrong with NO?

8:07 am

Actually my sister lived in NO long ago.... did not really like it even before Katrina.

I just heard on NPR yesterday that NO is one of the fastest growing US cities right now

8:08 am

Judi

LOL. Mmm. Would you like a wing or a leg, Scrabbs?

8:08 am

herinfernallady

That sounds like NO.

8:08 am

jmcnrick

the city used Katrina as a way to force "undesirables" out of the city

8:08 am

Scrabbler

My sister is in Montvale, NJ, mom2.

8:08 am

Mother Nature flushed out the 9th ward. Plus, the State and the Army Corps of Engineers failed to maintain the levies.

8:09 am

Hi Ata!

8:10 am

herinfernallady

Yep JMC that no one gave a rats arse as they are mostly black and well poor and well haha to you for being at the bottom of the food chain. Might we add there is a HUGE swing now in the change of soco economical status there

8:10 am

mom2han8

The problem with NO has always been the poverty, unfortunately that abject poverty was mostly seen among African-Americans.

8:10 am

herinfernallady

Hi Ata

8:10 am

jmcnrick

okay scrabs are you a vegan or do we need to invent a new word for you?

8:10 am

Judi

Hello, Ata! I suppose if you put enough candy coating on bugs, they'd have to taste good. Best to toast the bugs first (so I'm told).

8:11 am

mom2han8

Really? Vegans don't eat honey?

8:11 am

Scrabbler

A vegan diet would be challenging to follow

8:12 am

jmcnrick

I could really take this conversation south with some of the things I have eaten over the years

8:12 am

herinfernallady

Yep. Its a product from an Animal

8:12 am

Atalante

exactly, judi. lol. I had some in Japan ages ago, and all you can taste is yummy caramel - toffee around them. the grasshopper just adds crunch

8:12 am

mom2han8

I think this conversation has already headed south!

8:12 am

jmcnrick

vegans don't eat any animal product including milk and honey

8:12 am

herinfernallady

You are ''enslaving the bees and taking away their hard work by eating the honey''

8:12 am

jmcnrick

lol mom

8:13 am

Judi

Vegans don't eat honey because they believe it is exploitive of bees. I have to roll my eyes at that one, because bees make honey willingly. It's not like someone is holding a gun to their little bee heads.

8:13 am

mom2han8

When I have the money I am an omnivore... when I don't I'm a pastavore! Not great for the glycemic index, but what can you do???

8:13 am

herinfernallady

I can't drink milk but it doesn't stop me eating them. i drive past dairy cattle and regularly yell ''useless beasts get on my fork''

8:13 am

Scrabbler

I saved the raspberries for la** with my oatmeal. I so love berries.

8:13 am

jmcnrick

did I tell you about PETA supporting the Vegan's in the military? apparently you can't take honey from bees but you can kills other humans

8:13 am

mom2han8

Funny image Judi

8:14 am

Atalante

lmao. oh that's just *typical*

8:14 am

LOL, herein. *passes the A1*

8:14 am

Scrabbler

8:14 am

mom2han8

the best PETA thing was when they went after President Obama for killing a fly on live television... LOL... they should have seen me last night.... I am the master "fly hunter"...

8:15 am

mom2han8

Like I said... money being the major issue right now... a box of that is $2.50... might as well buy meat!

8:15 am

jmcnrick

I actually got a conscientious objector to war application from a vegan which started with--"I am a vegan and one day i realized that people are animals too."

8:15 am

Atalante

our local farm shop has just started selling A1. For about $11 a bottle!

8:15 am

mom2han8

that's a good one JMC

8:15 am

Judi

PETA does espouse some pretty extremist tactics.

8:16 am

Scrabbler

Well, kids I have to get ready to make hospital rounds. The newborn that was to be discharged has a high bilirubin and is under the special lights now. The nurse called me at 6 with the lab result.

8:16 am

jmcnrick

absolutely true!

8:16 am

herinfernallady

Specially previous entrees about how PETA gave fur coats to homeless people because that is ok right as they are donated and fur there for isn't murder

8:16 am

mom2han8

Seriously, I can get regular pasta for $1 (or less)/lb... the whole wheat or high fiber is $2.50 for a 12 oz. box!

8:16 am

herinfernallady

Oh poor baby. Best wishes to them Scrabbler

8:16 am

mom2han8

Ah... poor baby. Take care of the kids Scrabbler!

8:16 am

jmcnrick

thank you for all that you do scrabs

8:17 am

herinfernallady

Make your own pasta

8:17 am

Scrabbler

It is upsetting to parents to have to stay longer than they wanted

8:17 am

mom2han8

$11 for A1??? Is it special A1 or something??

8:17 am

mom2han8

OK Herin, now you're just talking crazy! LOL.

8:17 am

Atalante

no! just bog standard! but it's an Imported Special America Thing *facepalm*

8:17 am

Scrabbler

8:18 am

herinfernallady

OH the Pasta thing? easy as

8:18 am

8:19 am

Atalante

8:19 am

Scrabbler

8:19 am

mom2han8

Wait... I am checking the bottle in my cabinet.

8:19 am

herinfernallady

Is n't that Brown sauce?

8:19 am

jmcnrick

there is a little more to A1 that that mom

8:20 am

Judi

I don't care for A1. Tastes weird to me. I don't eat beef anyway, so feh.

8:20 am

herinfernallady

um Ata don't you have A1 in England?

8:20 am

jmcnrick

A1 without beef is probably not so good

8:21 am

herinfernallady

sorry my bad

8:22 am

herinfernallady

I was thinking HP brown sauce.

8:22 am

mom2han8

Certainly you could add some brown sugar or (yikes!) honey for some sweetness.

8:30 am

Good. That supermarket link is fairly cool to I want that here save me a packet

8:31 am

My mother was much the same, Jean. If I ever whined about being bored, I ended up cleaning cobwebs or washing windows. I leared to occupy myself.

8:31 am

Oh and I don't think you heard about the big Supermarket here finally doing the right thing.

Dorens

i thought courgette

At the age of 10 I was making 3 course meals.

Sorry.

10:54 am

jmcnrick

word stats are how many words you have left

10:54 am

jmcnrick

tile stats are how many words can be found in the grid

10:54 am

SiobhÃ¡n

Only what they mean... I donâ€™t understand the numbers with the slashes?

10:54 am

rururocks

i can look them up later for you

10:54 am

redturtlehead

siobhan, the tilestateshave twonumbers in them. Say 2/10 it means you got 2 of the 10wordsformed from that letter.

car.eeyore

10:54 am

SiobhÃ¡n

jmcnrick

the left number is how many you have found starting with that tile

11:17 am

11:17 am

Trifioso

11:17 am

jmcnrick

$22 thats not enough trif

11:17 am

KatieMcG

11:18 am

Trifioso

oh, katie! :(

11:20 am

Trifioso

I got asked this recently - would you rather be in perfect health, but a few pounds heavier than you would like, or underweight, but with health issues?

11:20 am

jmcnrick

the first which is what I am

11:20 am

ch1212

perfect health!

11:20 am

SiobhÃ¡n

The first.

11:21 am

KatieMcG

the first

11:21 am

Trifioso

I said the first too. Health issues can really diminish a life. If I could have perfect health to do all the activites I love, who cares if I do them with a fat ass?

11:21 am

jmcnrick

secooper

redturtlehead

11:29 am

SiobhÃ¡n

Maybe you can if you have rags on your floors instead of rugs? Or ragrugs?

11:30 am

SiobhÃ¡n

We have a kitchen mat that is a small rug made from woven multicoloured acrylic rags.

11:36 am

ucfalum

Is this the game where where two English-speaking players are shown a sentence in a foreign language that neither of them speak, and are presented with a list of possible meanings (in English) below each word. Players try to agree upon a set of English words that forms the most coherent sentence

11:36 am

redturtlehead

no uc it is not.

11:37 am

ucfalum

Where can I play that game developed by Luis Von Ahn?

11:38 am

SiobhÃ¡n

No ucfalum. You enter as many words as you can see in the puzzle to the left of this, into the slot that says â€œAdd Wordâ€ immediately beneath the puzzle.

11:38 am

SiobhÃ¡n

No idea, sorry.

11:38 am

ucfalum

The guy who invented the Captchas?

11:38 am

ucfalum

Ok, thanks

11:39 am

car.eeyore

Hi...I'm trying to sway Nikki to come to the Babble dark side....

11:41 am

redturtlehead

Dont know uC, but this isnt it. Guess you watched Nova this week.

11:41 am

ucfalum

Yep

11:41 am

ucfalum

Human Computation seems awesome to me and that babble translation game seems cool

11:42 am

hootowl

sounds interesting though. If you find it, let us know please

11:42 am

SiobhÃ¡n

Yes it does.

11:43 am

ucfalum

I will, I don't get this game

11:43 am

ucfalum

I am writing words that I see, but I get "rage" does not exist?

11:43 am

ucfalum

Rage or Steep as an example

11:43 am

SiobhÃ¡n

Itâ€™s a word search, ucfalum. You find as many words in the puzzle as you can and enter them below it.

11:43 am

redturtlehead

the lettershave to connect like in Boggle. Rage connect...

11:43 am

ucfalum

ok no P

11:43 am

hootowl

It's like Scrabble. Letters have to connect.

11:43 am

NonoNanette

urge does not connect in the puzzel

11:44 am

ucfalum

ok

11:44 am

SiobhÃ¡n

Yes, sorry...didnâ€™t explain that fully. The letters have to touch each other in each word.

11:44 am

SiobhÃ¡n

My first day trying this!

11:44 am

ucfalum

in any order?

11:44 am

ucfalum

it's not a bad game

11:45 am

SiobhÃ¡n

If you mean any direction, yes.

11:45 am

SiobhÃ¡n

They have to be in order, though.

11:45 am

SiobhÃ¡n

The words can bend, too.

11:45 am

ucfalum

you see the same puzzle as me?

11:45 am

ucfalum

for example GREET

11:45 am

SiobhÃ¡n

Of course.

11:46 am

ucfalum

it's not all in the same direction but I got it

11:46 am

redturtlehead

not in any order. and yes, we are all looking at the same puzzle.

11:46 am

SiobhÃ¡n

There is one puzzle per day.

11:46 am

SiobhÃ¡n

Yes, ucfalum...perfect.

11:46 am

redturtlehead

Which is why we dont usually type words we find into chat.

11:46 am

SiobhÃ¡n

That is one example.

11:46 am

Alleyn58

Welcome to new babblers

11:46 am

ucfalum

ok, but it's a collective game, once we all find the words

11:46 am

SiobhÃ¡n

Thanks Alleyn!

11:47 am

ucfalum

we are done?

11:47 am

redturtlehead

yes once you find the words, you are done.

11:47 am

Alleyn58

How about typing the 9s and 10s in!!!!

11:47 am

wildcat17

no each person finds the wrds on their own

11:47 am

SiobhÃ¡n

It isnâ€™t competetive, youâ€™re just trying to complete the puzzle in your own time for fun.

11:47 am

redturtlehead

allyn, I can clue the 9/10combo.

11:47 am

ucfalum

ok

11:48 am

Alleyn58

Yes please

11:48 am

redturtlehead

Well, Siobhan, there are stats kept and some people are competitive...

11:48 am

redturtlehead

Both are re's

11:48 am

redturtlehead

meaning togo back on an agreement...

11:49 am

redturtlehead

re + consonant +the ci6 word...

11:49 am

Alleyn58

and the the third letter is?

11:50 am

SiobhÃ¡n

Oh okay, red...Iâ€™m not though. I just enjoy things like this for fun and to stimulate my mind.

11:50 am

redturtlehead

wellthen that would be spelling the wordthen Alleyn1!!

11:50 am

rururocks

last st 6./18?

11:50 am

ucfalum

You would probably like cryptograms then

11:51 am

kantplay

there is only one consonant between the re and the ci/6 word

11:52 am

Alleyn58

Thank you so much

11:52 am

SiobhÃ¡n

Well, warn them, Trif - this is a different country these days. Such doom and gloom and recession is just unbelievable.

3:07 pm

Trifioso

hmmm. I might NOT actually soodle. they are already stressed out enough about the trip, as they are going with just their dad, and they REALLY don't want to go, but they have to.

3:08 pm

Trifioso

and it's pretty much what we have here, too, doom and gloom and all, so I would rather encourage them to enjoy their little cousins, and their gran's party and not worry about the other stuff.

3:08 pm

Soodle

Oooooh golly! How old are they?

3:08 pm

Trifioso

13 and 10

3:16 pm

redturtlehead

So many odd names in the world.

3:16 pm

6:09 pm

car.eeyore

There is an LA word with 7 letters and then an 8 right after it. Chances are, it is a plural of the word before it, so it is often referred to as a combo.

One can never be reminded enough to use proper grammar, Jilli. Texting has fouled our language up so that we no longer write well.

trif, told you all I know from Mr Flosey, who will be going over tomorrow. He said mama is up and around but has stitches -- I suspect a C-section because there were hard contractions without dilatation earlier, but all is well now. Mr F is naughty and says the baby is perfect and has all 12 fingers and toes. Flosey will stay a while to help.

8:33 pm

CiociaJudy

HI all. I was coming in earlier but there seemed to be a good-natured family arguement going on, and so I left again. I'm totally knackered after fruit picking, cooking, washing, ironing, bed changing etc in prep for our holiday next week. Later is packing - food, clothes etc., etc., but it's still too hot to sleep.

9:10 pm

May I please have a clue for re6-21 the 2nd? Thanks

9:20 pm

Jacula

Jilli - a neighbour of ours has had a buddleia bush growing from halfway up their chimney for about the past 16 years. It just got removed when new people moved in and had the roof redone. Do people really NOT look up at their rooves?

9:20 pm

2nd ar5?

9:23 pm

gapeach

Thanks, jilli. How about the re5-12 the 1st? Thanks

9:23 pm

Jacula

Jilli - I think the word applies to a type of sunfish known as the 'crimson auricle' (not really - re6/21 sunfish).

9:23 pm

Jacula

The lilac wild one, Jilli (re the butterfly bushon the chimney).

9:24 pm

torgone

Sleep over if you can't drive ..

9:24 pm

Shirlockc

nm, got the ar5

9:24 pm

Trifioso

Jili, I do the EXACT same thing! I put in a word, and pronounce it strangely, as I am looking at the structure of it

9:24 pm

Trifioso

Drive over if you can't sleep!

9:25 pm

gapeach

Don't know the sunfish...thanks anyway, jilli.

9:25 pm

Jacula

Trif - I did that not long ago with a really simple, ordinary word - can't remember what it was now.

9:26 pm

Jacula

Sometimes, our brains' electrical pathways get clogged and we can't see the simplest things.

9:27 pm

Jacula

We only have to worry if the pathways get destroyed, as in Alzheimer's Disease and others like it.

9:28 pm

Jacula

But, as we age, our brain's filing cabinets are filled with so much info and on so many floors, it takes the clerk a bit longer to charge up and down, get his or her breath, and find it, and then relay the info back.LOL

9:29 pm

rururocks

and some of us are missing important folders if you know what I mean

9:29 pm

Jacula

So, next time someone asks you something you KNOW you know the answer to, just give the poor brain clerk a moment or two.

9:29 pm

torgone

I like that Trifs ..

9:29 pm

Jacula

Indeed, ruru.

9:30 pm

rururocks

myself included

9:30 pm

Nef

Jac, my brain is old and it leaks every so often. Sometimes what comes out of my mouth has no connection to what I'm thinking or talking about. That clerk gets in the wrong file!

9:32 pm

Jacula

Got that, Nef. Hasn't happened to me yet, but I don't doubt it will. It only happens now when typing under the 'affluence of incahol' or when very tired.

9:33 pm

gapeach

May I please have a clue for ra5-10 the 2nd? Thanks

9:33 pm

Nef

and then somedays my mouth just won't say what my brain is thinking. I tried to say "Human chorionic gonadotropin" today; and there was no way it would come out! Thank goodness that initials work too!

9:34 pm

Jacula

I could once rattle off the English name and Latin name of every plant in my garden, and many of those that are not. These days, my brain goes blank when someone asks me what a particular plant is called. When I do find a name, it's usually the Latin name, which is odd, as I was rubbish at Latin at school.

9:35 pm

Nef

you probably had to work harder at memorizing it; so it's stored in different parts of your brain now

9:35 pm

Jacula

2nd ea5/10 is the plural of ra4.4 (speed or tempo).

9:35 pm

Jacula

Nef - that might be so. Never thought of that.

9:36 pm

Jacula

Thing is, I usually find the Latin name of a plant by looking at it and describing it.

9:36 pm

forwardbyfaith

zo6 please?

9:36 pm

Jacula

I would have thought I'd have done that better in English.

9:36 pm

dan2bit

rhymes with movie po6

9:36 pm

Jacula

zo6 - a form of Herpes.

Nef

9:39 pm

Jacula

Kad - aa5/16 - you can't put wine in plastic. It makes it taste horrible!

9:40 pm

kadresa

My wine doesn't stay in the glass long enough to spoil.

9:40 pm

Congrats, kadresa!!!

9:40 pm

Nef

nm, I just answered my own question

9:41 pm

Jacula

LOL Kad.

9:42 pm

9:44 pm

forwardbyfaith

ae5,12 anyone?

9:44 pm

Nef

I noticed, jac. Thanks! :-)

9:44 pm

Jacula

Nef - you got the ar6 from that, too, I hope?

9:45 pm

Jacula

9:45 pm

Nef

9:46 pm

gapeach

May I please have a clue for tr5-10 the 1st? Thanks

9:47 pm

Jacula

Or Reggae star Mr. Dekker's first name, or Mr. O'Connor's first name. Or maybe, changing last letter, Mr. Arnez (Lucille Ball's hubby)'s name.

9:47 pm

Nef

I did get the mosquito, jac. Thanks

9:47 pm

Nef

sorry, ga, I don't have it yet

9:48 pm

gapeach

Thanks anyway, Nef.

9:48 pm

Jacula

gapeach - tr5/10 (1st) - like the rubbish you throw out but with a different last letter that matches the penultimate letter.

9:49 pm

Jacula

Or thing of the tr5/10 (2nd) that is a lock of hair and change 2nd letter.

9:50 pm

Jacula

I meant 3rd letter, sorry!

9:52 pm

gapeach

Have it now, thanks, Jacula.

9:52 pm

Jacula

Anyway, I hope a;; pf the mad celebrating aunties have worked out where they're staying for the night before they go to see their new family member.

pugmama763

hi all! help with last 2 words please?

9:55 pm

pugmama763

Last RE6/18 please?

9:55 pm

Jacula

Son keeps trying to give me 'ergonomic' keyboards he's tried and rejected. As a classically trained typist, I don't want either a bendy, uppy or anything less than a normally stepped 'flat' keyboard. I'm a speed touch typist and anything off the norm will throw me.

9:56 pm

Nef

Sorry, pug, I don't have it yet (first 100 down!)

9:56 pm

Jacula

re + 'on the t*** of the lonesome pine',pug but take the 'i' out.

ag8,50 - is it related to the other ag words?

9:57 pm

pugmama763

dont know the reference jac but ty for trying

9:57 pm

No, forward, it's not. It's a field related word.

9:57 pm

gapeach

May I please have a clue for sa5-10 the 1st? Thanks

9:58 pm

pugmama763

9:58 pm

forwardbyfaith

ty Jacula

9:59 pm

Jacula

sa5/10 (first) rhymes with the ha meat. Or is like lettuce, tomatoes, celery etc sa*** but with a diff last letter.

10:00 pm

Jacula

er6 = a substitute or fake. Uses the 6-point tile.

10:00 pm

pugmama763

ah monkeys found the RE6

10:01 pm

Jacula

er + was seated + high point consonant.

10:05 pm

pugmama763

not used to seeing you attack such a big grid on a work night dear!

10:05 pm

Jacula

I've been trying to persuade my other half to go to sa5/10 classes with me for ages.

10:06 pm

Jacula

He won't and I haven't yet, either.

10:06 pm

gapeach

Just need the first sa5-10.

10:06 pm

sugyroxdemsocks

its the best bonding moment two souls intertwined can embrace in a moment in time!

10:07 pm

I decided that since tomorrow is my holiday, and I get paid anyway, I'm not going to work - get a jump start on my Vacation!!

10:07 pm

10:08 pm

gapeach

Thank much, Jacula.

10:09 pm

Jacula

sug - Damn! I wish I could get him to go. I have a good left foot and a crap right one, a good left hip and a rubbish left one, and he's a foot taller than me with no sense of rhythm (so he thinks).

10:09 pm

Jacula

I want to dance with him!

10:09 pm

MetFan

I just said Screw 'em, they'll run without me

10:09 pm

Jacula

Mel - if that makes you happy, go with it.

10:09 pm

pugmama763

indeed, they'll manage.

10:10 pm

MetFan

Lots of stuff I have to do - having the 2nd date at my place on Sunday!!

10:11 pm

pugmama763

oooh ! I want all the dish! and it will have to be juicier than the first one was!!!!!

10:11 pm

Jacula

We've becom full time parents when we were never parents in the first place and, to quote something my recently moved in with us stepdaughter said last night, 'I want quality time'. When DID kids first learn all this psychobabble??

10:12 pm

MetFan

There'll be no dish - we're taking it slow and getting to know each other, we'll go to a movie and grab a bite.

10:12 pm

pugmama763

oh PUH LEEZ! there's ALWAYS dish amongst sisters dear!

10:13 pm

MetFan

No, really, dear, so far, so good, he's a nice boring Jewish boy, just what I need.

10:13 pm

Jacula

I meant when we never never parents together of the same child. I have 2 grown-up kids and he has 1 14-yr-old, and, when we got togeether, I told him I didn't want anymore kids.

10:14 pm

more than one of the 4th letter CWEST

10:15 pm

Jacula

If you lot are going to start all of this Jewish talk, I may have to wake my 42-year-old Jewish bachelor friend up and introduce him to you. That's if he hasn't got the sound turned right down on his MSN so his Mum can't hear us talking.

10:15 pm

MetFan

It IS my first time dating someone in quite a few years, I'm rusty, there's bound to be mistakes along the way, who knows???

10:16 pm

autumn moon

hi all. How's it?

10:16 pm

you'll be fine dear! just be your wonderful self!

10:17 pm

MetFan

AUTUMN!!!!!

10:17 pm

pugmama763

I amy be biased but what's not to love?

10:18 pm

Jacula

I don't see any takers for my Jewish bachelor. Come on girls!

10:18 pm

MetFan

{{{{ I don't have ADD, do I? Oh, look - a chicken!!!}}}}

10:18 pm

autumn moon

met - there are no mistakes - only life lessons!

10:18 pm

MetFan

You are so right, Autumn - how have you been, dear?

10:19 pm

pugmama763

BLAH-HAHA

10:19 pm

autumn moon

life has been busy. Finally finished the flooring and painting. Moved upstairs from the basement. Got all my stuff from storage and have been slowly unpacking everything. I haven't completed a grid in months!

10:19 pm

Jacula

Can't one of you give my friend the thrill of his life? He thinks his parents are holding him back, but, actually, they're not...

10:19 pm

gapeach

de5-12 the 4th please. Thanks

10:19 pm

pugmama763

well Jac if you can get him to PA for me I'll take a look...

10:20 pm

cwestexan

thanks pug

10:20 pm

MetFan

That's why I haven't seen you for so long!!

10:21 pm

Jacula

Pug - if he could be moved out of his attic room in North London,, with all of its catalogued shelves of tapes, cds and dvds, his parents wouldn't keep going away on holiday so often. None of us can shift him!

10:21 pm

cwestexan

sometimes its the easy ones that give me the most fits!

10:21 pm

pugmama763

sounds like Mets cup of tea there!

10:22 pm

autumn moon

hey - has anyone watched Jamie Oliver's new "food revolution" show?

10:22 pm

cwestexan

and too many refils on the wine!

10:22 pm

Jacula

I only know him through the internet, and he has sent me some lovely bouquets of flowers, but shift him from London? Not done yet in 7 years of chatting.

10:22 pm

MetFan

I was about to say, dear...

10:23 pm

pugmama763

stubborn bugger eh? But he does sound like match for you Met!

10:23 pm

Jacula

Last time his Mum answered the 'phone to me, she was most 'unJewish Mother' - 'Hello. Cam you get **** out of his room and into life?'

10:23 pm

Jacula

LOL

10:23 pm

autumn moon

*off to play in the grid for a while*

10:24 pm

MetFan

Sounds like I'd like to get him out of his room and into the Jacuzzi!!!

10:24 pm

pugmama763

haven't been to London since I was 12 so I guess I'm out....

10:24 pm

Jacula

Met - I must make a pint of trying to introduce you two when I come back from my holiday in a week's time.

10:25 pm

MetFan

In a week I'll be visiting with Ms Pug!!!

10:25 pm

pugmama763

is he gay or a switch hitter or does Met have to convert him?

10:25 pm

Jacula

I'm not sure K is gay though, Met. I think he might be shy. He did run a page 3 site on the net.

10:26 pm

mkg

gee my experience is jewish boys are not boring. they are challenging.

10:26 pm

MetFan

At the very least, we have the music and DVDs in common

10:26 pm

mkg

as a matter of fact smart people are challenging period and most jewish guys are smart. dumb is good. dumb is content.

10:26 pm

Jacula

mkg - challenging - the right word. Do their mothers or their rabbis make them like that?

10:27 pm

mkg

my dad used to say he envied the factory workers who were IQs of 100 or less. they were so so happy with their lives.

10:27 pm

Jacula

K IS smart but naive also, I think.

10:27 pm

pugmama763

speak for yourself! dumb is a yawn or infuriating ....

10:27 pm

mkg

nope not mothers or rabbis. it is the IQ. non jews who are smart are also challenging.

10:28 pm

mkg

i am so much stupider than my hubby and i am so much happier.

10:28 pm

MetFan

Dumb is DEFINITELY irritating....

10:28 pm

Jacula

K once asked me to marry him, but I declined. He is not really my type, despite the flowers, and I am not Jewish, and I do know he wants to please his parents.

10:28 pm

mkg

doesnt matter if jewish or christian or what. if you are very smart you are a mess.

10:28 pm

mkg

a shrink friend told me the smarter the more discontent. i believe it.

10:29 pm

MetFan

Opinion, mkg, mere opinion.

10:29 pm

pugmama763

it is true the dolts are seldom as neurotic as the intelligent...

10:29 pm

mkg

ok i agree but it is also my experience.

10:29 pm

Jacula

My son is very smart and he would not say he is a mess, though I think he is. I, too, was once very smart but am now 'a mess'. LOL

10:29 pm

autumn moon

that's because ignorance is bliss.....

10:29 pm

mkg

when i have clients who arent very smart, wow, they are so lovely to deal with.

10:30 pm

mkg

yup ignorance is bliss. totally agree

10:30 pm

autumn moon

if I don't know what I don't know, then I don't know I'm missing anything, eh pug?

10:30 pm

mkg

anyone on this chat doing the grid is smart. period. so we are all full of issues. none of us would be easy to live with. i am not for sure.

10:30 pm

MetFan

You're now confusing ignorance with just plain nice.

10:30 pm

MetFan

You're now confusing ignorance with just plain nice.

10:30 pm

Jacula

mkg - I know you didn't mean that to sound condescending, but it did - as do me and my kids when we chat amongst ourselves and get overheard.

10:30 pm

mkg

smart muslim men are a nightmare.

10:31 pm

MetFan

People can be smart and nice , or can be dolts and difficult.

10:31 pm

pugmama763

indeed,even in my own family.The happiest person is the only one with a less than remarkable IQ

10:31 pm

mkg

did you see the movie with sally fields "not without my daughter"? if not see it! amazing. smart muslim man............

10:31 pm

autumn moon

true, true, met

10:31 pm

mkg

condescending to who? sorry if i am insulting anyone.

10:31 pm

Jacula

I think you're al right re less smart = more happy. Less to get annoyed or worry about, Iguess.

10:32 pm

mkg

ok ok i agree i am stereotyping. apologies.

10:32 pm

jillibus

Is all this an excuse for dumbing down?

10:32 pm

Jacula

mkg - condescnding in that, in today's oh to PC world, thinking or saying anyone is less intelligent than yourself is frowned upon.

10:33 pm

mkg

met, i am not saying smart is not nice. but smart is still very very keenly perceptive and that makes them discontent. it is not an issue of not nice. a person can be very nice but inside be suffering.

10:33 pm

pugmama763

OH HELL NO!!!

10:33 pm

mkg

well guess i flunk PC 101. sorry all.

10:34 pm

pugmama763

endlessly lament the dumbing down of America...

10:34 pm

Jacula

Of course, there will always be the thinkers, the movers and the workers. Look at the ants and the bees - they still work on that understanding.

10:34 pm

pugmama763

PC is largely a crock.

10:34 pm

mkg

but please dont misunderstand me. i am not saying smart means not nice. i am saying smart people are keenly aware and therefore they analyze and are upset by their own shortcoming and limitations and that makes them unhappy. unhappy does not equal nasty! one of the nicest men i know is a sweet guy, a doctor, who is very depressed. and very smart.

10:35 pm

jillibus

I spent my youth trying to get people to think I was not as bright as I really was, but in spite of that, got known as "the brain".

10:35 pm

Jacula

Jilli - dumging down?? NEVER! As my son would say in jest - nuke everyone with an IQ less than ours.

10:35 pm

mkg

so how do you feel about that title now jilli?

10:35 pm

mkg

i was always an underachiever. now i know i have add.

10:35 pm

pugmama763

I hear ya Jilli...got called "Miss Dictionary " in grade school..

10:36 pm

jillibus

I was perfectly happy in spite of many problems (WW2 caused) and so were several of my super-bright cousins

10:36 pm

Jacula

I was t'The Vicar' when I got a 1st at RE in my firstyear of secondary school.

10:36 pm

mkg

isnt argh a word? as in the sound???????

10:37 pm

jillibus

I just hate to hear people talking about "elitism" as if it were a terrible thing. What's a heaven for?"

10:37 pm

pugmama763

MY GOD! I f I hear one more TV News show about Wacko-Jacko I will projectile hurl!

10:38 pm

Jacula

I've never been unhappy with myself andmy intellect, unless outside influences have worked on me to make me feel less worthwhile, My son teels me that's a weakness. I thinkm though I have no awareness of having taught him to be like that, that he's my alter-ego. My daughter is also now very pro-self.

10:38 pm

jillibus

mkg -- double some letters

10:38 pm

Nef

mkg, stretch it out

10:38 pm

mkg

ty. dumb grid. argh should work too. dont they read comics? argh is a great word.

10:39 pm

Jacula

I have two great kids who know who they are and what they want out of life. I hope I've done my job.

10:39 pm

jillibus

pug -- I've been tuning to BBC World and Canadian news channels for a bit of relief.

10:39 pm

mkg

ok so why do they double both letters? very strange

10:39 pm

Bugsaw

mkg you have a point but it doesn't stand up. Less intelligent people can be easily intimidated by the fast pace of our changing world and know they don't have as many choices as more clever people. Paperwork can be overwhelming and job choices are more likely to disappear on them. They have stress

10:39 pm

mkg

oh got it with only one doubled.

10:40 pm

jillibus

the aa6 doubles 2

10:40 pm

mkg

ok i need some clues.

10:40 pm

pugmama763

Ok my lovlies,I'm fading fast...off to bed for me.Happy Babbling all!! nighty night!

10:40 pm

mkg

ok bugs. you have a point.

10:40 pm

jillibus

about 300, mkg?

10:41 pm

mkg

anyone have a clue for me? only have the 9 that is the 10 singular. need other one.

10:41 pm

mkg

what about 300? i only have 151. goal is half way tonight. then sleep.

10:41 pm

jillibus

currently, is seems bright people are sneered at

10:41 pm

pugmama763

jilli you slay me...

10:41 pm

pugmama763

poof!

10:41 pm

jillibus

lol, pug :)

10:42 pm

Jacula

I liked MJ and was sorry he died, and think he's ben manipulated for far too long and not given the psychiatric help he needed. I haven't been following all of the news, but, if the conspiracy theories are corect and we see a hooded figure in North Devon next week (he planned to move there), I'll let you know. Actually, I won't. Since we plan to move there oursselves eventually, we didn't want any Jacksons there - press, fans, too much fuss etc.

10:42 pm

mkg

does anyone have clues to share with me? need second 9, and need one more c word............

10:43 pm

Jacula

Jilli - my daughter was sneered at in the school I've just sent my stepdaughter to for 'being a BoFF'/

10:44 pm

jillibus

second 9? Can you be more specific please, so we don't have to search through over 300 words to figure out which one that is?

10:44 pm

mkg

i only have 2 grey ones. and the h of course. so that is bad.

10:44 pm

jillibus

wot's a BoFF?

10:44 pm

Jacula

Didn't stop her getting to Uni though and it won't stop my 'step' when she settles in.

10:44 pm

mkg

sorry must go to lickety. didnt yet.

10:45 pm

jillibus

about time, mkg

10:45 pm

Jacula

A BoFF is someone who wants to work in school.

10:45 pm

jillibus

what does it stand for?

10:45 pm

Jacula

Someone who seems to know more than their year group.

10:45 pm

MetFan

...and I always thought I knew what a boff was....

10:45 pm

Jacula

Can't remember now, jilli.

10:46 pm

jillibus

oh, big help!

10:46 pm

Jacula

Ah, I remember, it's short for BOFFIN. But I'll bet the kids who use the word BoFF don't know that.

10:46 pm

jillibus

I wasn't even a swot -- just cought on fast and had a good memory.

10:47 pm

Jacula

United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa, boffins are scientists, engineers, and other people who are stereotypically seen as engaged in technical or scientific research. Also, a boffin is a particularly clever person. 'Boffin' is an insult used by British teenagers. American equivalent is "Egghead"[1]. The word may conjure up images of men in thick spectacles and white lab coats, obsessively working with complicated apparatus. Portrayals of boffins emphasize both their eccentric genius and their naive ineptitude in social interaction. They are, in that respect, closer to the "absent-minded professor" stereotype than to the classic mad scientist. Alec Guinness's character in the film The Man in the White Suit (1951) is a classic example of an eccentric and obsessed boffin.

10:47 pm

Jacula

That's from Wiki

10:47 pm

jillibus

aahhh, that makes sense -- boffins -- WW2 brains

10:47 pm

Jacula

Jilli - same here re swot.

10:48 pm

jillibus

but sneered at, see? (ADORED the Man in th White Suit)

10:48 pm

Jacula

But I went to a grammar school where we were all expected to be high achievers, so none of that boFF stuff went on.

10:49 pm

mkg

need ag 8 plz.

10:49 pm

jillibus

Ditto at the "Public" schools I went to. We were just expected to do our best.

10:50 pm

jillibus

ag + **** in Peace, Mr Gore.

10:50 pm

Jacula

..And I just started a sentence with 'but' and another with'And'. My old Eglish teacher would kill me if she saw that/

10:51 pm

Jacula

*English. Sorry Mrs, Roberts.

10:51 pm

jillibus

Ah yes. Not to start with "however" either...

10:51 pm

autumn moon

off to bed for me. have a great night all.

10:51 pm

Jacula

'Night Autumn.

10:52 pm

jillibus

jac, interesting comma after Mrs. There is a theory that if an abbreviation ends with the same last letter as the full word, there should be no "full stop" ("period" in American). Such as Dr and Mr and Mrs (Mistress)

10:53 pm

Jacula

I'm not too worried about my old English teacher or my old Art teachers. I did both proud some years ago and will again in the future.

10:53 pm

jillibus

night autumn -- long tome...!

10:53 pm

jillibus

*time

10:53 pm

Jacula

It was a typo, Jilli.

10:53 pm

jillibus

I know, jac, but how about the Dr and Mr and Mrs

10:54 pm

mkg

cant get that 8 that is the peace clue. any others?

10:55 pm

Jacula

I may have done the comma after the Mrs. in some kind of Freudian way, because I know she left her police sargeant hubbby, got back to being a hippy and went to teach English in an inner city school with 'difficult' kids.

10:55 pm

mkg

got that ag 8. ty for clue.

10:55 pm

jillibus

mkg -- don't you know what R.I.P. stands for?

10:55 pm

Jacula

I'm old-fashioned, Jilli. I'll still go for the full stops.

10:56 pm

mkg

yes i do just didnt know the word ended with Gore first name.

10:56 pm

jillibus

never mind the comma, jac -- don't you get my question about the lack of a punctuation mark under those circumstances?

10:56 pm

mkg

need ae 5 first one please.

10:56 pm

jillibus

Jacula

I saw a sign from USA on TV that confused me recently - it was a sign for a lawn firm owned by a female but read, can't remember her name now, so I'll make one up: 'Sarah Rice esq.

10:58 pm

jillibus

yw

10:59 pm

Jacula

Esq - short for esquire, was the forerunner of 'Mister'/Mr.

10:59 pm

jillibus

Ah -- Jac, that's an American title for a lawyer -- most peculiar IMnotsoHO

10:59 pm

mkg

gee cant even finish the a words.

11:00 pm

jillibus

Esquire was a landowner, I believe.

11:00 pm

Jacula

It's not correct though, Jilli. Esq is MALE.

11:01 pm

jillibus

Check out a Webster's dictionary, Jac. It's just a title or something in the US, sexless

11:02 pm

jillibus

All my parents' male friends, ncluding my dad, although they were not landowners, were J.O.E. Blow, Esq.

11:02 pm

Jacula

Over here in UK up until the late 60s, we used 'Esq' after 'Master' when addressing envelopes to a male after age 11. He became 'Mister at 18 and only got to be 'Esq' if he went into a profession rather than 'a job'.

11:03 pm

jillibus

Yes, I was talking Brit, jac

11:04 pm

mkg

in 9 plesae?

11:05 pm

mkg

nm got it.

11:05 pm

jillibus

And there was another thing, now quaint, for married women. They were Mrs J. O. E. Blow unless they were divorced, when they became Mrs. Jane Blow.

11:06 pm

Jacula

Male child 0-10 - Master J. Smith. Male child 11-18 (unleess apprenticed in law before or a landowner) = Mr. J. Smith. 18-yr-old male landowner or in the profession of law - J. Smith Esq.

11:06 pm

jillibus

(if Jane was their real name)

11:07 pm

mkg

herinfernallady

HI Jilli sprite was here on Monday. Sorry I have finished this grid and I am floating about

11:09 pm

Jacula

Jilli - back in the 70s, i remember the Family Planning Clinic, who were supposed to serve all with no discrimination, shouting out whose appointment was next... If you were married, it'd be 'Mrs. J Smith!' If not, it would 'Janet Smith!'
