7:35 am

72 Temple Owl

red, marc> describing someone who can't sit still - superlative

7:35 am

sprite

an7 is less able to sit still, rather nervous.

The only du8 I found so far was not valid, MarkF.

7:35 am

7:39 am

72 Temple Owl

7:40 am

clued at 7.32 by BR and 7.35 by TOwl and myself, Marc

7:40 am

Marc Freeman

I was in Amsterdam a month ago.

7:40 am

you should have left those Smarts at peace, Marc, now they all think it were Hollanders who did it!

7:41 am

72 Temple Owl

not getting these clues, know the singer, that gives one only 7 not sure why marc gets 8

7:42 am

sprite

the an8 is a drink, rather oldfashioned I think. BabbleRabble's clue fits the 8 exactly.

The an7 is more of a picnic pest, with a letter inserted.

7:42 am

lynxxx

leave the s in TOwl

7:42 am

72 Temple Owl

got the pests

7:42 am

Marc Freeman

TO double the constanant at the end for the 8 but I cannot get the 7 from that clue

7:43 am

72 Temple Owl

OH! it is the italian liquorice flacored cordial!

Scrabbler

8:18 am

suefrad625

Hi, can I hav a clue for the de7?

8:18 am

Uneaixoise

8:18 am

lynxxx

de7 de*l*** your intentions - sub the l for a vowel

8:18 am

72 Temple Owl

adorable kazz! all the bunnies are too cute today!

8:19 am

Scrabbler

Nope, it is still there for me, Une. My downstairs bedroom is bunny-themed-posters of Beatrix Potter's books/stories, including an informative poster of Miss Potter herself. That room is for my bunny, Miss B(eatrix Potter).

8:20 am

72 Temple Owl

how many bunnies do yo uhave scrabs?

8:20 am

suefrad625

8:20 am

8:20 am

Scrabbler

And above my living room foreplace I have 3 large framed pics of bunnies--one is Tale of Benjamin Bunny, and 2 others

8:20 am

Scrabbler

4, Owl, each in their own bedroom...

8:24 am

72 Temple Owl

lol do they actually stay in their rooms?

8:25 am

Scrabbler

The boys upstairs have gates at their doorways, I have a gate at the bottom of the stairs and Miss B runs all over down here.

8:26 am

72 Temple Owl

and do all get along?

8:27 am

Marc Freeman

lynxx for some reason I did not get your clue for de7 could you or someone reclue it for me?

8:27 am

Scrabbler

They do not interact--bunnies are fiercely territorial but, with time and effort, they can become "bonded". I have nevre done that due to size/age

8:27 am

72 Temple Owl

ty. that is interesting.

8:28 am

sciencegeek

Morning all!

8:28 am

Scrabbler

My sister became a foster mother for 2 bonded brothers last December and she soon adopted them--Thunder & Lightning--black and one with a white stripe on forehead

Ooh. That sounds yummy, Welki. Bet he had fun getting that through customs.

"Sir, what is that smell?"

4:15 pm

welki

jmcnrick

ggrrrr

7:30 pm

lbdawger

7:36 pm

lbdawger

when I got my ensign bars, I was told to hang on to every word my command chief said, and make him my best friend. Asked if it was okay if I just married him.

7:37 pm

jmcnrick

so did you?

7:38 pm

Anniebrook

that would make a good story, dawg

7:38 pm

I met my husband down at the court house

7:38 pm

Anniebrook

dawg, What a great story!

7:39 pm

jmcnrick

I was representing some demonstrators and had no clue what I was doing

7:39 pm

jmcnrick

so I would go into the lawyer's lounge and ask the guys there what to do

7:39 pm

lbdawger

where else would lawyers meet? :)

7:39 pm

jmcnrick

two of them helped -- one this cute Jewish looking guy and the other a HIspanic guy

7:40 pm

Anniebrook

and?

7:40 pm

jmcnrick

after the week at the court house and I had gotten my clients release, the Jewish looking guy and I stoodout in the hall way and he would let the door of the lawyers lounge bang into him as we talked.

7:40 pm

lbdawger

...*waiting for which one turned out to be mr. right*

7:41 pm

jmcnrick

I said-- we could move and he said no no it's okay -- I found out much later that my blouse had fallen open and he had a birds eye view of my right tit

7:41 pm

lbdawger

!!! lol

7:42 pm

jmcnrick

he (the rick in my name here) used to say -- I met her at the court house -- she was a working girl

Hi all. I've been lurking - wanted to let you know, Scrabbler, that poison ivy oil is safe once it touches water, so your gear should be fine if you hose it down.

wonder what you could clean your gear with to strip that oil off?

9:44 pm

Trifioso

oh, and btw kad - I did read the post you alerted me to earlier this morning. gulp.

9:44 pm

rolotom

Clues for st5 10 please? I have the beer glass, the trying something out, and the 2 sto's -- what am I missing? Thx.

9:44 pm

kadresa

Hey Trif...remember what we discussed at church? Put a "hold" on it for the time being because all kids are overtired and just plain grumpy. Not the best of times to begin a dialogue

9:44 pm

jmcnrick

never actually decked my son . . . but I did think about it

9:44 pm

Trifioso

lol - snap kad! see my post below....

9:44 pm

kadresa

How about the thing they put in your heart or kidney?

9:44 pm

9:45 pm

rolotom

TY lbd!

9:45 pm

Trifioso

trying something out? Hmmmm

9:45 pm

kadresa

We would NEVER "deck" our kids. Words are the best and well-placed time outs for all parties.

9:45 pm

Trifioso

it is fun to imagine though....

9:45 pm

lbdawger

4 sto's and one st that means male who is available for sperm donation

9:46 pm

jmcnrick

unlike Jimmy Carter I feel there is no harm in an active fantasy life!

9:46 pm

lbdawger

okay, on that note, i gotta go get myself ready for the morrow. see you all, and good luck with the grid!

9:47 pm

Trifioso

goodnight lbd!

9:47 pm

kadresa

Hey Trif...is F helping tomorrow? We had Mom over for dinner and she seemed to think that she had to get S and bring her tomorrow? I thought both were involved.

9:47 pm

jmcnrick

bye lbd thanks for all the clues as always

9:47 pm

torgone

The fun part is imagining the look on their face after you body check them into the boards ..

9:47 pm

I'm a great speller...bon soir!

9:48 pm

Minveryork

Goodbye lbdawger! I will see you tomorrow in the log!

9:48 pm

J. C.

Why can't that 'thing they put in your heart and kidney' that kadresa clued, be pluralised? :/

9:48 pm

jmcnrick

*wondering about sperm donor and how horny gets spelled with st*

9:48 pm

jmcnrick

lol torg

9:48 pm

Trifioso

oh, Jee SUS lets go over this again! Called her to ask if she could bring Secondo. Explained it at least three times. She called me before she left for your house, and I said, no, it was Secondo, not Tertiare. And then she arrived at your house.....

9:48 pm

kadresa

I noticed that too JC...have no idea

9:48 pm

J. C.

Sperm donors and horny? Blimey - what have I been missing?! :P

9:48 pm

Scrabbler

52 left and I have had enough of this grid. Good night all!

9:49 pm

Minveryork

Goodbye Scrabbler! I will see you tomorrow in the log

9:49 pm

jmcnrick

bye scrabs

9:49 pm

Trifioso

LOL JC! pity you are affianced, my friend Russell just got dumped, and you would be so lovely together....

9:49 pm

kadresa

Well, at least she knows she has to get one of them! She seemed very confused this evening, but enjoyed talking endlessly about her upcoming trip (shudder...)

9:49 pm

kadresa

Bye Scrab!

9:49 pm

J. C.

Good night to you, Scrabbler . . .

9:50 pm

J. C.

Erm, it isn't a pity to me - and we'd be too far away, anyway. :P

9:50 pm

J. C.

What made you say that all of a sudden anyway, Trif?

9:51 pm

kadresa

Russell is fabulous JC!

9:51 pm

Trifioso

Oh, sweetheart, I know it is not a pity to you, JC! I would just love to see him with someone lovely is all.....your last post made me laugh, and is quite like what he would say.

9:51 pm

J. C.

Well so is my fellow! :)

9:51 pm

J. C.

HAHAHA, I see . . .

9:51 pm

gapeach

9:51 pm

kadresa

Just glad you have love in your life!

9:51 pm

J. C.

And thank you for that lovely compliment, Trif! :)

9:52 pm

torgone

The Enable-accepted def. of that st5 is not the same as the medical device therefore it can't be made plural .. But whatever that definition is ... WHO KNOWS?!?!?!

9:52 pm

Trifioso

ga I think it is someone that has a stiff upper lip

9:52 pm

kadresa

Someone who is very closed mouth about things that bother them.

9:52 pm

gapeach

You are right, Trif. Thanks so much.

9:52 pm

Trifioso

okay...so clearly *I* am not st5!

9:52 pm

J. C.

Oh yes - that was one of the first words I found!

9:53 pm

J. C.

For some peculiar reason . . .

9:53 pm

Trifioso

yvw peach!

9:53 pm

torgone

Not even a little Trifs ..

9:53 pm

jmcnrick

so another word for British ;-)

9:53 pm

gapeach

Don't need to be, Trif.

9:53 pm

Trifioso

JC, do you eat any sea stuff? Scallops, shrimp, that sort of thing?

9:54 pm

J. C.

Of course not, Trif.

9:54 pm

Trifioso

I wasn't sure. sometimes it is no face, no mother....

9:54 pm

J. C.

It's very unhealthy, besides being unethical - but yes, I used to not so long ago, until I learnt better. :/

9:54 pm

jmcnrick

okay I just realized I don't care about this grid at all

9:55 pm

J. C.

That isn't the only point, Trif.

9:55 pm

Trifioso

but you still love us, right jmc?

9:55 pm

J. C.

It's still unhealthy for us, besides unnecessary harm and suffering to other living beings.

9:55 pm

jmcnrick

Oh yes I definately do I talked about the chog in worship sharing today

9:55 pm

J. C.

You did, JMC?

9:56 pm

J. C.

Do tell? :)

9:56 pm

Trifioso

I am reading a very,very excellent book combining wicked old folk medicines with new ways of preparing herbs and such - trying to see if I could be using some of the stuff I have growing wild in the yard. it is a fascinating book, if a bit HUGE

9:56 pm

J. C.

Oh, that does sound interesting, Trif! :)

9:57 pm

jmcnrick

well Quakers generally worship by sitting in silence waiting for God to speak through them

9:57 pm

J. C.

I do use some herbs - and even have a mortar and pestle. I feel like an apothecary when I'm using it! :P

9:57 pm

jmcnrick

but in worship sharing we take a particular topic and there is a higher expectation of each person speaking

9:57 pm

gapeach

ra5-10 the 2nd please....thanks

9:57 pm

Trifioso

did god talk to you about the chog? or was it more like someone was weighing on your heart?

9:58 pm

Trifioso

i have one that rhymes with "to move to music" ga

9:58 pm

jmcnrick

the topic was "what positive thing is new inyour life?" and I talked about the chog

9:58 pm

kadresa

ra + do you ***d a clue?

9:58 pm

jmcnrick

trif you can eat parslane in salad

9:58 pm

gapeach

Thank you, kadresa.

9:59 pm

jmcnrick

also dandelions prior to their blooming

9:59 pm

Trifioso

oh, excellent jmc! what a ni4 way to bring the two together! yes, somedays the chog is just so uplifting, isn't it?

9:59 pm

jmcnrick

this woman who is 83 was quite interested so I may show her the chog before I head back to DC

9:59 pm

kadresa

Glad to be of help. Think I'm off to bed folks. Don't know that I'll see you tomorrow Trif. Bon soir!

10:00 pm

Trifioso

thanks jmc, have made note. I have a lot of tansy, and apparently it can be quite useful. I am also trying to find some recipes or at least concoctions for elderberries, which I am overrun with. Nettles, milkweed, etc.

10:00 pm

jmcnrick

bye kad

10:00 pm

Trifioso

10:01 pm

Trifioso

yes, I am learning that, jmc, but need to research further on HOW. also, I have a gorgeous muscat grape vine that bears bushels of grapes that just go fallow every year. seems a shame

10:01 pm

Trifioso

thanks again, jmc. It really is fascinating, learning about all the uses for all these plants that are just here by the grace of God.

10:03 pm

Trifioso

I bought some absolutely GAWGEOUS looking nectarines today, and they ended up in Primo's bag by mistake! he called me from the ferry to say he was sorry, he had just found them, and by the way, could he eat them?

10:03 pm

jmcnrick

it was from white (green) grapes and a pretty peach color and not too sweet at all

10:03 pm

Trifioso

that was money well spent. ah well, at least he is eating well!

I could actually use a skip, but I think I might be out of your delivery area, sadly

10:09 pm

Nef

Hi everyone. Trifi, you let your grapes just rot? You can make jams, jellies, juices, and even wine with them. We have 2 or 3 eidelweiss grapevines and we use them every year!

10:09 pm

Minveryork

Hello Nef! How are you doing? Welcome to the puzzle!

10:09 pm

jmcnrick

hi nef

10:10 pm

Trifioso

I am pledging not too this year, nef. the birds do make great use of them, as do the deer and other mini-bear type creatures, so they don't go completely to waste

10:10 pm

J. C.

Erm, no Trif - don't get time for that. Just exercises here at home when I manage those. :P

10:10 pm

jmcnrick

nothing worse than a mocking bird drunk on rotting fruit

10:10 pm

Trifioso

LOL JC

10:10 pm

Nef

I gave up procrastinating and just brought my last load of clothes up from the dryer. They still need to be folded; so I put the basket in front of DH and he took the hint! :-D

10:10 pm

J. C.

Refresh though - and tell me if I could possibly look any gayer? HAHAHA - it's my colour! :P

10:10 pm

10:13 pm

Trifioso

school kids are brutal!

10:13 pm

J. C.

I thought they would've just been glad to get out of class and away from their lessons, for a while. :P

10:13 pm

Minveryork

That wi 6/30 word is like a hotdog Andree

10:13 pm

J. C.

Oh yes - I was laughed at (people tend to laugh at me - imagine?) and called a 'fairy' - but as that's what I am, I'm never insulted by it. ;)

10:14 pm

Trifioso

but isn't it worth it to know that at least one little soul was watching you with a thrill in their heart, validation in front of their eyes?

10:14 pm

Andree

thx min

J. C.

HAHAHA - raid my closet for what, Andree? You wouldn't find me in there, that's safe to say! ;) I'm OUT of there!

10:16 pm

Trifioso

fancy dress means a costume, right, not an actual fancy dress?

10:16 pm

gapeach

Thank you, Trif. That was the last one for this grid. Sweet dreams, y'all.

Minveryork

Can anyone tell me how to put pictures on facebook?

10:18 pm

Nef

I did it a couple of times, Min, but the last 2 times I tried I messed up.

10:19 pm

Andree

it was hard to choose as there have been so many musicals i have loved, but laziness got the better of me and i have made the nuns dress and striped apron which maria wears in the 1st scene in sound of music

10:19 pm

Minveryork

I had trouble getting an icon picture,but finally did it

10:19 pm

Trifioso

I still think you should have gone with "oh, calcutta"

10:19 pm

torgone

Go to profile/photos/create album ..

10:20 pm

Minveryork

Thanks torgone! I'll try it. Want to post wedding pics

10:20 pm

10:21 pm

Trifioso

10:22 pm

Andree

anyhow my outfit is really ugly and i may not forgive my sister for this, for her 50th i went as a tart in a black petticoat but alas 10 years later i would just look as though i need serious help

10:23 pm

rururocks

is this a costume party?

10:24 pm

Andree

yes ruru

10:24 pm

rururocks

oh. fun...

10:24 pm

Nef

it sounds like fun, Andree

10:24 pm

Trifioso

andree, how do you describe a party where you need to dress up in formal wear?

10:24 pm

rururocks

a tart or Madonna?

10:25 pm

Andree

it depends on your opinion of madonna ruru

10:25 pm

rururocks

maybe that is an oxymoron..

10:25 pm

Andree

black tie trif

10:25 pm

Nef

I've never been to a B'day party where the guests need to dress up.

10:26 pm

Trifioso

oh, I see. so "fancy dress" means costumes, and not formal wear, ever?

10:26 pm

Andree

my sister does it for all her parties, its most annoying

10:26 pm

Trifioso

go dressed as your sister - that might do it.

10:26 pm

rururocks

I went to a polyester party once that was a total blast

10:26 pm

Minveryork

Hello rururocks!How are you? Welcome to the puzzle

10:27 pm

rururocks

10:27 pm

Nef

My younger sister turns 60 this month and I was just trying to figure out if I could get out to Montana for the event. Unfortunately, my workweek won't allow it; but I *could* make it the following week.

10:27 pm

Trifioso

oh, that sounds really funny ruru! LOTS of potential for train wrecks, definitely!

10:27 pm

Andree

and 1 of my friends did fancy dress for each of her 3 kids 18ths and 21sts, that was fun as mine were still at home and we coordinated

10:27 pm

Minveryork

LOL rururocks! It's about time I made some cents!

10:28 pm

rururocks

I wore teal blue tight pants, big white belt, eiffel tower purple shir opened to the navel, with a Mr. T starter set and BIG sunglasses.....and white shoes

10:32 pm

J. C.

It's a Samba shirt, Nef - we were doing a ballroom dance demonstration, at a school - the kids were less than impressed! :P

10:32 pm

rururocks

OMG!..lol

10:33 pm

Andree

i am surprised they didn't love it jc, something a bit different

10:33 pm

rururocks

That looks like you stole it from Barry Manilow

10:33 pm

rururocks

LOL

10:33 pm

Nef

They weren't impressed with the costume, or was it the dance? <muttering "dumb kids!">

10:34 pm

rururocks

Takes a lot to impress kids these days

10:34 pm

J. C.

Well, some had a good laugh at us, Andree - and I'd rather make anyone laugh, than make them cry! ;)

10:34 pm

Trifioso

nudge for ti, 5, 12 please?

10:34 pm

J. C.

Oh come on now, ruru - it's much prettier than anything Manilow would wear! ;)

10:41 pm

J. C.

Well, Nef, kids usually aren't terribly enthused about ballroom dancing - and these were no exception! :P

10:42 pm

J. C.

We did make them laugh, though - so all was not lost! ;)

10:42 pm

Minveryork

Guess torgone is gone. Does anyone else know about posting pictures on your wall in facebook?What does location box mean after the album name box?

10:43 pm

J. C.

Are you on MySpace, Minveryork?

10:43 pm

Nef

I don't know; I do remember when my kids were in elementary school they were fascinated by a dance demo at their school

10:56 pm

10:57 pm

mklein

Miniver, go to your facebook wall page, click on photos. You should see add album on the right. Create an album and then you should be able to add photos by browsing your photos. You might have to use the simple uploader instead of the first one you come to.

11:01 pm

Andree

thx min and fireworks

11:02 pm

Minveryork

Congratulations Andree on fireworks! Hooray for you

11:02 pm

Minveryork

Hello mklein! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid

11:02 pm

Minveryork

Yes, I tried doing that on FB and it still did not work.

11:02 pm

Andree

and now back to work for me, happy babbling all

11:03 pm

Nef

YAY, Andree! WTG!!!

11:03 pm

Minveryork

Goodbye Andree! I will see you tomorrow in the chog!

11:03 pm

mklein

Thank you for the welcome. I usually am here, but not chatting. I really enjoy facebook tho so I thoght I'd try to lend a hand

11:04 pm

Minveryork

I think it is the version of IE I am using. Need to use a new version of Internet Explorer I think. I'm on my hubby's computer, so need to try it on my computer.

11:06 pm

Nef

I love your dog pic mk! What breed is it?

11:06 pm

mklein

That's a good question. Our best guess is half boxer and half something else. No telling what that other half is.

11:08 pm

J. C.

My guess would be Greyhound, mklein?

11:08 pm

J. C.

Unless the dog is a lot taller - possibly Great Dane, then?

11:09 pm

J. C.

My dogs are both mongrels, also - adopted rescues. :)

11:09 pm

J. C.

One is still a puppy - got him in May.

11:09 pm

Nef

He? looks so sweet. I have a friend that had the sweetest boxer that went blind at about 8 years. She was still a sweet dog, but she got her circadian rhythm screwed up at the end of her life (I think she was almost 10 when she dies)

11:10 pm

mklein

I usually think of greyhounds as slender, and he's very stocky and strong. We've always dog's that wer part boxer. Theyre the best.

11:11 pm

J. C.

Awww, that's young for them to die, Nef. :( Well, Boxers don't have the longest life-spans. My first dog since I moved out of my parents' home was another mongrel I adopted from Battersea, a small dog - and she lived to be 19! I was just 21 when I adopted her, and had to puther down a couple days after my 40th birthday. I still miss her, and always will . . . :(

11:11 pm

mklein

He's big, but not that big - about 75 pounds and a real sweetie.

11:11 pm

J. C.

Is he very tall, mklein?

11:11 pm

J. C.

Or smaller than a Boxer?

11:11 pm

J. C.

Hard to tell, in that photo?

11:12 pm

Nef

All of our pets have always been mutts from the pound or animals that people couldn't care for anymore (for 1 or another reason)

11:12 pm

J. C.

My puppy is brindle - he's half Jack Russell and half Staffie.

11:12 pm

Nef

what's a staffie?

11:12 pm

J. C.

Yes, Nef- same here. I can't think of buying from a breeder, when tere are already too many dogs and cats out there, in need of homes. :(

11:13 pm

J. C.

A Staffordshire Terrier, Nef - they're a Bull Terrier breed.

11:13 pm

mklein

Pretty tall - I don't have to bend over to reach his collar, and he looks me in the eyes when he stands on his back legs - He's brindle too.

11:13 pm

J. C.

Erm - when 'there'. My typing's flying out the window.

11:14 pm

J. C.

Then he could be part Greyhound, mklein - with that coat, which is why I thought that. He could get the stockiness form the Boxer.

11:14 pm

Nef

I now have my second Shiz-poo mix. The first one was from the pound and was very smart. This one is dumber than a doorknob; but he's cute. (I got him because he was being neglected0

11:14 pm

J. C.

Or Great Dane, perhaps?

11:14 pm

J. C.

If he's very tall, perhaps he is part Dane?

11:15 pm

mklein

He's not so much tall as I am short.

11:15 pm

J. C.

He's a beautiful-looking dog, whatever he is! ;)

11:15 pm

Nef

he has such a cute face! I'd have trouble disciplining him with that face! :-D

11:16 pm

mklein

You're right there. He's a terrible beggar and usually gets a snack.

11:17 pm

Nef

LOL!

11:17 pm

J. C.

HAHAHA - he knows how to use that face for all it's worth, just like mine do! ;)

11:17 pm

J. C.

Here - I'll post a photo of my dogs, hold on.

11:17 pm

mklein

His name is Worry Wart, from the wrinkled forehead. He really uses it too.

11:18 pm

Nef

do you know about how old he is?

11:18 pm

Minveryork

Tomorrow's theme is pet icon Monday, so that would be a good icon J.C. I think I'll post one of my dog too.

11:18 pm

J. C.

OK, refresh - and you'll see it.

11:19 pm

J. C.

Valerie is the black dog (Whippet cross), and Albie is the puppy . . .

11:19 pm

mklein

Around six - he was a stray about 8 weeks old when I found him

11:19 pm

Nef

they are so cute, J.C.!

11:19 pm

J. C.

He's Albert - 'Albie' for short. A tip of the hat to the Nathan Lane character in one of my favourite films, 'The Birdcage'. :)

11:20 pm

J. C.

Valerie was less than impressed with him at first - as you can see in that photo! Doesn't the look on her face say it all ? HAHAHA!

11:20 pm

Minveryork

That is a GREAT picture J.C.! Perfect for tomorrow!

11:20 pm

J. C.

Thank you, Minveryork - and Nef! ;)

11:22 pm

mklein

Your dogs are adorable and your place sounds wonderful. My son lives in Brighton- is it anywhere near romney marsh?

11:23 pm

J. C.

Brighton isn't a terribly long car trip from here. It's lovely there, too.

11:23 pm

J. C.

Say hello to your son for me! ;)

11:25 pm

mklein

I spent May there, and it was great. Such a nice change from Dallas heat. I will say hello to him.

11:25 pm

Nef

ranced

11:25 pm

J. C.

Oh did you??? My birthday was in May - a milestone. You didn't even come help me celebrate, shame on you! ;)

11:25 pm

Nef

sorry,

11:25 pm

mklein

Actually he babbles too, sometimes so He might even be on at times.

11:25 pm

J. C.

Oh does he? What's his player name?

11:26 pm

J. C.

Do you have a Yahoo! acccount, by any chance, Margo?

11:26 pm

mklein

If I had only known...

11:26 pm

mklein

Yes, but I use Facebook now more than Yahoo.

11:27 pm

mkg

wow dont see one clue down the chat. amazing.

11:27 pm

J. C.

That's OK - anyone with a Yahoo! account automatically has a profile page there, they can connect to others' pages, Margo - and we have a little network on there, with some of the Babblers in it. :)

11:27 pm

J. C.

How might I find yours, to send a connection request?

11:28 pm

J. C.

Too much nattering going on, mkg. :P

11:28 pm

Minveryork

Hello mkg! How are you doing? Welcome to the puzzle

11:29 pm

mklein

I've looked for babbler's on facebook, but haven't found the group yet. You can look for Margotenk on facebook and that will be me.

11:29 pm

mkg

well need those clues. only have 63 words and very stumped. dont do lickety till half done.

11:29 pm

mkg

hi min

11:29 pm

Minveryork

There are many times I enter and see no clues in log.

11:30 pm

J. C.

I'm not on there, Margo - and won't be.

11:30 pm

Minveryork

I am the same way mkg. Don't list or look for clues til I am halfway done.I can help you with clues if needed

11:30 pm

J. C.

It doesn't suit my purposes . . .

11:30 pm

J. C.

How might I find you on Yahoo!, though?

11:33 pm

mkg

is the toin used at all?

11:34 pm

mklein

I'm not sure J.C The main reason I got interested in facebook was to list photos, especially while I was in England. My email is mmkleinq@yahoo.com

11:35 pm

J. C.

Well yes, I do that on Flickr and MySpace. Thank you, Margo - I will send a connection invite to that address now, so watch for it. ;)

11:35 pm

mkg

buffgirl71

Thanks J.C - I'l watch for it.

11:36 pm

J. C.

Well, Margo - I see you have a Yahoo! Profiles page, already filled in. :)

11:37 pm

J. C.

Go here, and you'll see the connection request in the upper right part of the page, to accept . . . http://profiles.yahoo.com/

11:37 pm

J. C.

Once you log into your account, that is. ;)

11:37 pm
