12:53 am

cybernan

12:53 am

Trifioso

Mr. Hate gave me two decent pieces of jewelry, and I lost one. :( :( :(

12:53 am

J. C.

Oh no - sorry to hear that, Trif. :(

12:54 am

J. C.

Have you retraced where you went, to see if you can find it?

12:55 am

Trifioso

yes, and left messages in at the restaurant and all. AND I drove home at a slooooow pace just in case it was lying in the road or something. how pathetic! I really hope it turns up somewhere

12:56 am

J. C.

Oh no - I hope so too, Trif! :(

12:56 am

jillibus

good luck, trif. I had a lvoely sapphire ring my mother gave me -- put it on the dresser after a night out. Had workmen in to do something with windows. No more ring.

12:57 am

jillibus

This was many years ago, in the Montreal area.

12:57 am

J. C.

Oh no, Jilli - how awful to lose something of such sentimental value! :(

12:57 am

Trifioso

oh, no jilli!!!!

12:58 am

flosey

good luck trif. I lost a gold earring that hubby had given me, my favourites, it had been election day in BC, and next time I was in the hall there it was pinned to notice board

12:58 am

Trifioso

I am just so bummed that I didn't notice I lost it. my own stupidity....

12:58 am

Trifioso

1:10 am

mrpresident

1:10 am

J. C.

No, he said nothing, mrp - he just surprised us!

1:10 am

heya Lori

4:45 am

Andree

hi again

4:45 am

Haz1558

Good morning/evening all. Just passing through but thought I'd say hello.

4:45 am

mrpresident

hi andree (hugs)

4:45 am

LoriP

Mornin' Andree

4:45 am

Andree

hi haz

4:46 am

LoriP

G'd Morning Hazaurus!

4:46 am

Andree

hi lorip and mrp

4:46 am

Haz1558

Hello there!

4:46 am

jacq

morning Has, Mr P Ma'am, Andree

4:47 am

jacq

oops Haz, sorry

4:47 am

Haz1558

Have we noticed that FM is here (in the grid)? The one who takes all the bl5/16.

4:47 am

jacq

lol

4:47 am

LoriP

I thought of her right away......

4:47 am

jacq

i thought that was ata

4:48 am

mrpresident

too right haz! but ata is the bl6 child

4:48 am

Haz1558

FM is at fault for most things. It's a gift.

4:49 am

jacq

LOL gift or curse?

4:50 am

Haz1558

We tell her it's a gift.

4:50 am

jacq

LOL poor FM

4:50 am

jacq

ok 93 left time to hang laundry again brb

4:50 am

Haz1558

I must investigate why my icon isn't changing. I've uploaded a pic of Scottish Parliament buildings to illustrate ey7 but it won't take. Too ugly, I suppose.

4:50 am

LoriP

FM knows it's her fault, and she accepts it. As she should.

4:51 am

LoriP

No doubt that's the reason Haz.

4:53 am

Haz1558

It's worked now.

4:54 am

Andree

it sure is ugly

4:54 am

Haz1558

It's ciriminal, bearing in mind how lovely the rest of the city is.

4:55 am

Andree

a beautiful city i do so agree

4:55 am

jacq

way too ugly and a huge waste of taxpayers money, like most government projects

4:56 am

Haz1558

Have you seen or heard about the laying of tramlines in Edinburgh? Princes Street ripped up for years all for the sake of two tramlines.

4:57 am

Haz1558

I will step off my soapbox now!

4:57 am

jacq

it's a nightmare for tourists, especially those on coach tours, the coaches can't get to the city centre hotels

4:58 am

jacq

one driver i know said his elderly passengers had been expected to walk almost a mile uphill with their cases

4:58 am

jacq

he was livid because he couldn't help them all

4:59 am

Haz1558

It's outrageous that they're spending that amount of money when, apparently, nobody in Edinburgh wants it. Our taxi driver was giving off about it at a great rate!

4:59 am

jacq

ok am done ranting now.

4:59 am

jacq

nobody wants it because it's costing a fortune, it's impractical to reintroduce trams in an area that already has severe traffic controls

5:00 am

jacq

ok am really done ranting now

5:00 am

Haz1558

I think every governing body should have 'A sensible person' to veto mad schemes.

5:00 am

Andree

governments seem to have a great knack of wasting taxpayers hard earned money

5:00 am

jacq

actually i'm not, it's all down to backhanders and those handshakes they all make before they get elected

5:01 am

jacq

Andree all politicians are corrupt, just to varying degrees and i should hush now

5:01 am

jacq

lol

5:01 am

Haz1558

(I've heard that Gordon Brown watches babble chat log closely)

5:02 am

zoozzoom

Gordon Brown..you are an idiot.

5:02 am

Andree

lol

5:02 am

jacq

the toen i come from has serious employment issues, with no prospects, we have had the chance for a superstore, will provide almost 600 jobs, but the local council who approved the sale of the greenbelt land to the possible store have since blocked all approvals for construction

5:02 am

Haz1558

zooz is a brave man.

5:02 am

jacq

gordon brown has no right to be in No 10, he wasn't elected by the people and he's hanging on tight

5:02 am

Andree

p*** off gordon

5:03 am

zoozzoom

LOL

5:03 am

Haz1558

Paws off Gordon. Who knew that Andree was such a fan?

5:03 am

jacq

i'm sure everyone else knows who the last chancellor was that took power without being elected, and look what he did to the civilised world

5:04 am

Haz1558

You're sure he wasn't elected?

5:04 am

jacq

tony blair was elected

5:05 am

jacq

anyway shushing now, politicians really irritate me, they forget they are there to serve the needs of the populace, not their chums with their old school ties

5:06 am

Haz1558

Just checking, he was appointed to chancellor by president but he did have popular support.

5:07 am

Haz1558

I'll be back later as well. Bye!

5:07 am

Andree

bye haz

5:08 am

jacq

bye Haz

6:04 am

zoozzoom

6:13 am

zoozzoom

we found it..well done everyone.

6:14 am

Lickety used a more recent version of Enable than DrG used for babble which is why Lickety sometimes has extra words

Wolvie

6:14 am

6:42 am

sprite

Wolvie, it is not an obligation. But it is great if you share fitting icons and much appreciated by the babblers who follow and/or watch the themes.

6:42 am

sprite

I got a few emails with new suggestions, will get to those this weekend, I think. Babblers are very creative people!

6:43 am

Wolvie

well, I have a tingling on the outside of the one of my inner toes while in walking shoes

6:45 am

redturtlehead

is that a good or a bad thing?

6:45 am

Wolvie

LOL - better a tingle than none I suppose

6:45 am

sprite

I'd say, unless you enjoy the tingling, remove the walking shoes then.

6:46 am

Wolvie

I love it! all different reactions

6:46 am

sprite

*grin*

6:46 am

o-o

I think it could be a good thing or a bad thing

6:47 am

Wolvie

uh huh - that would be consistent. :-)

6:47 am

sprite

it may be a terrific day, if that tingling is the most noticeable thing!

6:47 am

9:04 am

Haz1558

I wonder why they removed it?

9:05 am

Aloyisius

no clue, Haz..

9:05 am

Haz1558

It's a nuisance when you've gone to the trouble of remembering it.

9:06 am

Judi

I think because it's a... whatchamacallit - each letter stands for a separate word.

9:06 am

Aloyisius

h'mm, could be Judi

9:07 am

Aloyisius

acronym.. is that it?

9:09 am

Aloyisius

9:09 am

Haz1558

Or, you could just say someone who doesn't eat well (because he burnt the cakes)

9:09 am

Aloyisius

Hi Aloy! (and everyon else). Coming to you from a motel room - today's the big day. Just hopped on to copy the grid and clues so I can pursue the words during the day. Gotta go, bye!

9:20 am

Haz1558

The king was on the run and disguised himself as a peasant. He sought shelter with a poor family as refuge, the lady of the house left him with instructions to watch the cakes in the oven. He had no clue about cookery, was neglectful and let them burn. She told him off very crossly, not realising that she was telling off the king.

9:20 am

Aloyisius

.. and hi to crossy and Eva and .. broll!!! Hi.. so happy for you all.. how's the weather up there?

9:21 am

Haz1558

I've probably got some historical details wildly wrong, but you get the gist.

9:21 am

FMitch

9:27 am

Aloyisius

so, what happened to the woman?

9:28 am

Haz1558

History draws a veil over her. It's one of these stories that gets told in primary school, or at least used to be.

9:28 am

Aloyisius

the story reminds me of "the Emperor's New Clothes"

9:29 am

Judi

And the moral of the story is, don't let kings in your kitchen.

9:29 am

Haz1558

Exactly.

9:30 am

Judi

In that case, someone should begold or bediamond me.

Hi West. Its nearly August - its Ireland. Cold - wet - Nothing new there!! lol

3:06 pm

Is this grid as hideous as it looks?

3:07 pm

westford

it's doable then not lol

3:10 pm

Soodle

I really hate it when I come into the chog, and almost everybody goes quiet.......I don't feel paranoid, but I do feel that everybody hates me...........

3:10 pm

westford

oh not so everyone has gone except me I think

3:11 pm

KatieMcG

i'm eating chicken bbs

3:11 pm

Soodle

You and me and the chicken-eating Katie, then, West!! :)

3:13 pm

fratfitz

hi all

3:13 pm

Soodle

West - I had a quick peep while I was at work today. But they monitor the internet sites we use in work, so I cant be seen to be on Babble for longer than 5 mins or so.

3:13 pm

westford

thanks fitz

3:13 pm

Hi, West.thanks Frat

soodle, heating on and lights on, a lovely July evening

3:14 pm

westford

hi red

3:15 pm

Soodle

I have just lit the fire here...

3:15 pm

westford

what was wrong with the dog?

3:15 pm

Soodle

Red - I am having mental images of a mollified dog.... weird!!

3:15 pm

redturtlehead

Oh he needed a walk. Its 87 out though so I wanted to wait,but there was no waiting to be had...

3:15 pm

westford

and we just put in the a/c after a month of cold and rain

3:15 pm

Soodle

Where in the UK are u Katie?

3:16 pm

westford

how does he do with thunderstorms?

3:16 pm

redturtlehead

Soodle, he looks very very satisfied.

3:16 pm

KatieMcG

I'm in Tamworth in Staffordshire about 16 miles from Birmingham

3:16 pm

Soodle

I like the concept of a molllified dog!!

3:16 pm

KatieMcG

Day started off ok but got colder and rainier as it went on, all in all I've had a rotten day

3:16 pm

Soodle

Katie, I take it the weather is as bad there as it is here?

3:17 pm

Soodle

ditto

3:17 pm

KatieMcG

yep I think we get yours about 1/2 day or a day later

3:17 pm

redturtlehead

West, he seems o not have too much of an issue with them. I think I'm lucky there, occasionally he gets riled up before a storm, especially a big one.

3:17 pm

KatieMcG

and this is a mean grid, I need cheering up and hoped at 291 words I could do 150 quickly

3:18 pm

westford

that is lucky red we had to sedate one of ours he would panic

3:18 pm

redturtlehead

Oh Katie, I am sending hugs....

3:19 pm

redturtlehead

Wow West, that would be terrible, I'd be sedating all the time. All in all, he's a fairly mellow dog, only gets excited around other people.

3:19 pm

Soodle

Hey Katie.... How can we make things better for you? Jokes? Hugs? Songs?

3:19 pm

westford

we don't have that many so it was lucky

3:20 pm

KatieMcG

ty red, I've done chocolate and wine so feeling a little better :-s

3:20 pm

redturtlehead

I do wish Teulu would be better around others but...

3:20 pm

fratfitz

anyone have a clue for the n7/32? thx

3:20 pm

westford

is he a golden?

3:20 pm

fratfitz

sode

3:20 pm

fratfitz

oops

3:20 pm

westford

fitz those are the people that drive you crazy

3:21 pm

Soodle

And in the neurotic dog stakes - I am claiming the number one spot. I have a Rothweiller here, who is scared of ....everything. Cats, rain, wind, cars, water, suitcases, carpets, vacuum cleaners, hairdriers, toasters, - need I go on?

3:21 pm

fratfitz

thx, west :)

3:21 pm

KatieMcG

just chatting is good thanks soodle, one of my closest friends has been diagnosed with cancer today and I feel so helpless, I just want to hug her (see lives about 150 miles away)

3:21 pm

westford

oh no sood

3:21 pm

redturtlehead

Soodle, you must be a patient parent of that doggie.

3:22 pm

westford

so sorry katie she's lucky to have you even if the miles separate you

3:22 pm

redturtlehead

Katie, see if you can sign up your friend for Chemoangels.com its a great support, and even though its American they do do overseas patients.

3:22 pm

Soodle

And the funny thing is , people who call to our house, and don't know him, are absolutely PETRIFIED of him. He looks the part....he walks the walk, he talks the talk, but, God help him - he is a phoney!!!

3:22 pm

fratfitz

so sorry Katie...horrible

3:23 pm

westford

what's the name of your pussy cat dog sood?

3:23 pm

KatieMcG

ty west. She is being so brave she sees the Cancer nurse on Monday. People always complain about the NHS but they have gone from first mamogram to diagnosis within 3 weeks with treatment starting next week so couldn't have better care

3:23 pm

KatieMcG

I'll try that thanks red

3:24 pm

Soodle

Oh Katie. All you can do is focus on the positive with your friend. She needs all the help/support/encouragement/ jollying she can get. She is in for a tough ride, but (like todays grid) its do-able!! And you just have to reaffirm that with her. I speak from personal painful experience!

3:24 pm

westford

that's good katie sounds like she's in good hands

3:25 pm

KatieMcG

I know when she phone to tell me I was very practical and supportive and then cried for an hour when I got off the phone

3:26 pm

Soodle

And West - the Pussy Dog is called King. Kingo when he is being good, and 'that feckin' animal' when he's his usual naughty self

3:26 pm

westford

I think I like him already

3:27 pm

KatieMcG

The strange thing is that she went for the same medical checkup as I did through work the only thing is I signed up for it and she didn't. They do say that God works in mysterious ways!

3:28 pm

westford

so true katie but now the healing can begin

3:28 pm

KatieMcG

I love the sound of pussy dog, I love slightly strange/stupid animals (that's why crumble is my favourite but don't tell the others)

3:29 pm

Soodle

I would guess that there is nobody here on tonighs chog that hasn't been personally affected by the curse of cancer. What an insidious disease

3:30 pm

KatieMcG

crumble is so thick that if we let her out the front door she doesn't realise that she can climb the fence and get in through the cat flap! I think she thinks it is a different house lol

3:30 pm

Soodle

And my spelling of the word 'insideous' should indicate why Soodlebum's rating is still teenchy!! LOL

3:31 pm

westford

I have had friends and relatives that have been diagnosed with cancer but I'm sure I can't imagine what it would be like

3:31 pm

KatieMcG

I know soodle I have been very luck up till now *now working that I didn't notice insideous was spelt wrong are kitt and crumble close in intelligence than first thought!!*

3:31 pm

westford

lol katie our KC is like that but he's my fluffy boy

3:32 pm

KatieMcG

She was telling her 3 children and said that it was the worst part, even thought they are adults they are still her babies

3:34 pm

Soodle

West - you have probably read the line in books 'I felt as if I was hit in the stomach with a sledgehammer'. Well - try and imagine what that ACTUALLY feels like. A wham of a sledgehammer to the stomach. And thats only the start. Not a happy place.

3:35 pm

Soodle

And it goes DOWN from there............

8:54 pm

hurshy

wait, that's not quite right. there is a first em7, it's just that it's the only em7, and the one you think you are looking for does not exist.

8:55 pm

torgone

The first and ONLY em7 is the plural of the em6/24 before it ..

8:57 pm

stidmama

8:57 pm

stidmama

8:57 pm

torgone

Correctamundo stid ..

8:57 pm

hurshy

sadly, the only em6/24 i've got is already a plural.

I also note that "dremel" doesn't count, though it is now part of nearly every woodworker's vocabulary...

8:58 pm

hurshy

8:58 pm

stidmama

brb

8:58 pm

em6/24 = em + cons. + ***ney Dangerfield

I'm going to wander off to bed soon. Only stayed up 'cos Step had got up from an early to bed night to play on the WII with her Dad and then decided to watch a film. I wanted to be around in case she needed to talk, since she'd been asking questions and then trying to fill in the blanks herself earlier about how me and her Dad met on the internet. In the end I had to tell her that I didn't want to give her the details because I thought she'd been through enough for the moment and didn't needto hearmore home truths about her mother.

9:59 pm

Dorens

ah, don't envy you jac.. rough going there.

9:59 pm

jmcnrick
