I have no business being up this late. kid has cross country practice in the morning.

1:29 am

Just1Mar

yes and even if one doesn't...they will save all the money that would have been spent on rent, laundry (apt laundry washers and dryers are crazy expensive)

1:29 am

VolleymomDee

how many ex words please?

1:29 am

Just1Mar

I will try to enjoy westie...we've been empty nestors for 2 years now..

1:30 am

melonheadjujube

btw, I started a no-added-sugar diet today. My triglycerides are up and I'm mad at myself. My doc rote an RX but it strikes me that I would be taking a pill just so I could get away with a rootbeer float from time to time. ridiculous.

1:30 am

westford

she seems like a lovely girl

1:30 am

ChrissieDee

I only have ex5/24 Dee

1:30 am

westford

you're doing the right thing melon

1:30 am

Just1Mar

she really is...very quiet and unassuming (takes up hardly any space..lol))

1:31 am

melonheadjujube

anyway, I have to think of sweets like high heels - something I remember fondly but can't handle anymore. such is middle age. . .

1:31 am

kje

no sugar added? not low fat?

1:31 am

melonheadjujube

Thank you, westford!!!!

1:31 am

westford

what about artificial sweetener is that just as bad?

1:31 am

VolleymomDee

I have ex 4/9 and ex 5/24 chrissie... have any idea what other words come from the e in the 4th column?

1:32 am

rbud

those are the only ex words I have, Dee.

1:32 am

melonheadjujube

Nope. sugars and refined carbs are what push up triGs, even tho triGs are fats.

1:32 am

ChrissieDee

eu 8/55, I think?

1:33 am

ChrissieDee

do you have a clue for the eu rbud?

1:33 am

rbud

maybe not, might be the one in the 4th row.

1:33 am

westford

ty rbud

1:33 am

flosey

thanks rbud

1:33 am

rbud

eu 8 is pl, they are nice things said at funerals

1:34 am

melonheadjujube

I hac gotten them down before restricting sugar and using whole grains - and not even too much of those. I ate my "feedbag" breakfast - oat bran, flax meal, and butermilk. It's an acquired taste but actually very satisfying.

1:34 am

ChrissieDee

ty rbud

1:34 am

westford

sounds quite filling

1:34 am

jillibus

no fruit juice, melon?

1:35 am

melonheadjujube

West - I hate artificial sweeteners - always have. I have to truly rethink how when and why I eat. i felt good today, so hopefully I will keep up.

1:36 am

westford

I find Sweeta tolerable

1:36 am

melonheadjujube

fruit juice is as bad as pop in my case. Fruit is OK because it has fiber which slows sugar absorption. V8 juice is fine. Infact, veggies - non-starchy - are my new bffs.

1:36 am

westford

but I really don't care much for sweets

1:37 am

VolleymomDee

I am missing 4 e's: so far I have: ea 5, 6, 4; eg 4, 5, 4; el 5 er 4, 5, 6, 6, 7, 6, 5 es 4 eu 8; ex 4, 5... others?

1:37 am

jillibus

I love orange juice with pulp -- is that ok?

1:37 am

westford

melon do you make most things yourself? so much added sugar and salt in canned and boxed food

1:37 am

melonheadjujube

For you it might be. Well, now to bed. Thanks for all kind words. Happy babbling everyone! {poof}

1:38 am

ChrissieDee

I have ea 5,6,4,4,5,5

1:38 am

I'm trying to cut sugar -- not much of a sweet tooth anyway

1:38 am

1:38 am

melonheadjujube

West - Oh, yes, I am a big from scratch. Also part of a produce co-op so I have a huge bag of vegs to prepare each week. Fortunately I loves my veggies, even the kale!

1:39 am

melonheadjujube

anyway - now I shall truly poof outa here. Byee! {poof}

1:39 am

Kazzer99

if you are trying to retrcit your sugar fruit juice can be your worst enemy - you tend to drink too much of it. My diabetic nurse told me to only have one very small glass a day as a glass of ornage juice can be as much as 4 or 5 ornages

1:39 am

westford

veggie co-ops are wonderful used to belong to one

1:39 am

1:44 am

kje

westford

1:47 am

jillibus

rbud and west, I use the Low Sodium V8, not so salty

kje

i'll drink tomato juice occasionally, but not v8

1:47 am

TraderKate

8:53 am

jmcnrick

roasted salmon is not good for smashing sprite dear

8:54 am

sprite

terra is doing quite well today! I see improvement every day, even in his way of walking. He no longer goes halfway down all the time while he walks, he stays high on his legs and seems to be painfree!

8:54 am

faze

hello i am new to the game can anyone explain the question marks at the side please?

8:54 am

herinfernallady

Sprite what was wrong with Terra?

8:54 am

sprite

darn, you are right, jmc! And thanks for the cloth.

8:54 am

jmcnrick

if you click on them they supposedly give the definition of the word faze

8:55 am

sprite

faze, just click them and a dictionary will open, with (hopefully) an explanation of the word. Sometimes that dictionary doesn't know the word though.

8:55 am

jmcnrick

hi faze and welcome to our corner of the insane universe

8:55 am

herinfernallady

Hi Faze. Welcome to your new addiction. This is like scrabble combined with boogle. Look up and there is a Help thingy. Look down and at Anglesongs page and LIicketys Babble clues for the list of words if you need help

8:56 am

sprite

lady: terra has been ill (a virus) and afterwards had trouble walking. Vet checked his hips and said they were very painful and there was way too much room in them. It might be a condition that isn't unusual with this breed. We hope not. Will make x-rays next month.

8:56 am

herinfernallady

What virus?

8:56 am

herinfernallady

Awww poor puppy.

8:56 am

faze

8:57 am

faze

I used to play tangle and miss it really bed!!

8:57 am

faze

bad!!!

8:57 am

sprite

vet said the hips and the virus are not connected. Probably just showed more when he was feeling bad.

8:57 am

jmcnrick

the board changes every day and for most of us a day is what it takes faze

8:57 am

sprite

lots of tangle players here, faze. Have fun and welcome.

8:58 am

jmcnrick

Merk

9:03 am

9:03 am

Merk

True

9:03 am

sprite

9:05 am

sprite

faze is probably deep into the grid, lol

9:05 am

Trifioso

we are heading to the country fair today! It is always so exciting. the kids have several art pieces and photos entered in the contests, and I can't wait to see how they did.."fared" if you will....

9:05 am

Angelsong

9:05 am

jmcnrick

sound nice trif

9:05 am

sprite

woot Trif, be sure to let us know, ok?

9:05 am

Merk

9:06 am

DR1965

sounds like fun Trif!

9:06 am

jmcnrick

wow that means *calculating in head* it will take me three days

9:06 am

Trifioso

lol sprite - of course! like I am usually so withholding of personal info???? LOLOL

9:06 am

sprite

hehehe I am glad you're not

9:06 am

Trifioso

good thing haz isn't here - she hates me and my "personal chatting" tendencies!!!

9:07 am

jmcnrick

????????

9:07 am

sprite

I once thought the same from Haz, but I was wrong. I am sure she doesn't hate you!

9:07 am

herinfernallady

http://tinyurl.com/npndhe its 8 odd minutes long be aware of potential of crying

9:07 am

Trifioso

okay, okay, maybe not me personally, but she does hate the personal chatting!!!

9:07 am

jmcnrick

typing often sounds harsher than intended

9:07 am

sprite

thanks lady, for sharing

9:07 am

DR1965

some times people here just come off that way. I agree with Sprite

9:08 am

Trifioso

I am saving that link for later, herin - can't be all red faced and puffy and sniveling with the kiddos!!!

9:09 am

sprite

Haz is a very private person, while some of us open up easily and share personal info. It may not always match up together, but there is no hate involved.

9:09 am

Trifioso

I was more thinking of the profile she put up a while back...totally slamming those who chat about things other than the grid.

9:09 am

Trifioso

it was very sharp in tone.

9:10 am

jmcnrick

then she must really hate me! LOL

9:10 am

jmcnrick

and I couldn't care less

9:10 am

Trifioso

LOL.

9:10 am

Trifioso

is there a list today?

9:10 am

DR1965

lots of us fit in that catagory

9:10 am

Uneaixoise

yep

9:10 am

jmcnrick

as far as I know I get along with haz and I refuse to think otherwise

9:10 am

herinfernallady

Trifs seriously. I have one cat perched on my head and one on my foot

9:10 am

jmcnrick

hey une

9:11 am

Trifioso

oh, thank heavens for that! imagine trying to finish this listless! god bless lickety

9:11 am

Uneaixoise

hey :-)

9:11 am

jmcnrick

I hate having cats on my head *shivers*

9:11 am

Trifioso

no yoga for you, herin!

9:11 am

sprite

I remember that text. Lots of frustration there, and I know it was not directed against you, Trif, or others present. Haz is a babbler who is always willing to help cluing and such, and I value her for who she is.

9:11 am

jmcnrick

it took even lickety quite some time though!

9:12 am

Trifioso

oh sprite, of course it wasn't! I didn't mean to upset anyone....

9:12 am

Uneaixoise

list didn't show up till around 5:00 . . .

9:12 am

jmcnrick

*looks around* no one looks upset to me

9:12 am

Trifioso

time to make the list, or to solve the puzzle? I thought the computer made the list from a program he wrote?

9:12 am

jmcnrick

so you done une?

9:12 am

herinfernallady

heheh Trifs and the one on my head is being revolting and cleaning herself

9:12 am

sprite

lol Trif, I was one of those very upset back then, so that is why I am saying this now. Haz wouldn't intentionally hurt anyone.

9:12 am

Trifioso

oh GROSS herin! get a hat

9:13 am

Uneaixoise

nope, 55 to go :-)

9:13 am

jmcnrick

depends on what exactly she is cleaning

9:13 am

jmcnrick

go Une go!

9:13 am

jmcnrick

268 left here lol!

9:13 am

DR1965

go Une- you rock!

9:13 am

Uneaixoise

dogs woke me up at 4:00 so OF COURSE I started babbling! LOL

9:13 am

herinfernallady

No its the noise. She is either eating her feet or cleaning her side

9:14 am

Uneaixoise

went back to sleep for a while :-)

9:14 am

Trifioso

well then sprite, I will admit, I was very upset too. I had only just joined a few weeks prior, and had been happily chatting away, and then read that, and everyone seemed to be agreeing with it, and then haz and I had an exchange where she basically tore me a new one, and I have to admit, I have been skittish with her ever since. but that's on me, not her

9:15 am

Trifioso

une, i did the exact same thing! cats though, not dogs were the culprits

9:15 am

DR1965

Trif-we love you... (( HUGS))

9:15 am

sprite

that must have been unpleasant, Trif, and very bad timing as well.
Let me say that I love your chatting and personal stuff and your presence :)

9:15 am

Uneaixoise

:-D

9:15 am

Trifioso

back at you, sprite!

9:16 am

jmcnrick

that was about when I joined and there did seem to be a bit of hostility then but since then everyone is pretty happy so I thought I just read too much into it

9:16 am

sprite

hi Une, I gotta love those dogs for bringing you with us

9:16 am

Trifioso

I like coming on at weird times, une -- you get a different mix of people. for example, because of where I live, 4 am is "australian babbler time"

9:16 am

Trifioso

I like coming on at weird times, une -- you get a different mix of people. for example, because of where I live, 4 am is "australian babbler time"

9:17 am

Uneaixoise

they will bark at ANYTHING -- I think they saw bunnies in the front yard -- they always come out to munch after rain

9:17 am

Trifioso

yes, jmc, I agree - and then I stupidly brought it up again this morning...and now I am putting it down. done

9:17 am

Uneaixoise

12:15 pm

jmcnrick

thirsty little buggers eh

12:16 pm

72 Temple Owl

i bought a peony and never planted it. it was looking a bit peaked

12:17 pm

jmcnrick

maybe you will have time to put it in the ground today

12:17 pm

jmcnrick

I got nbt by accident

12:17 pm

72 Temple Owl

too hot. i beleive in the darwin theory of gardening but that might be pushing it

12:18 pm

Wolvie

wrong time for that I would say. Wait for the heat to pass

12:18 pm

jmcnrick

lol probably good advice wolvie

12:18 pm

Wolvie

LOL To - darwin would definitely award that peony now. :-)

12:18 pm

72 Temple Owl

yes. have to be tought to survive in my yard

12:18 pm

Wolvie

if there is one thing i am, it is a gardener. ;-)

12:19 pm

Wolvie

good rule of thumb

12:19 pm

jmcnrick

good to know I will come to you with gardening questions then

12:19 pm

Wolvie

;-)

12:20 pm

72 Temple Owl

btw no ants apparent upon my return. kitchen looks weird with a ring of cloves around the counter

12:20 pm

Wolvie

this was for an invasion of the tiny black ants?

12:20 pm

jmcnrick

I went out an bought boric acid and covered the ant hills

12:21 pm

72 Temple Owl

firstwas the normal kind, last were the tiny ones. grease ants

12:21 pm

jmcnrick

I have had a terrible year with them -- they have crossed the cinnamon line!

12:21 pm

Wolvie

ooh - easier to by borox and put it out for them to feed on

12:21 pm

Wolvie

ick. Hate ants in my house

12:21 pm

72 Temple Owl

will that work on any type?

12:22 pm

jmcnrick

the cinnamon still keeps them out of my cat food

12:22 pm

phaeton

clue for the last pu5/14?

12:22 pm

jmcnrick

borac acid kills bugs dead

12:22 pm

Wolvie

borox? I'm not sure about fire ants - never have had to deal with them, but - for he big black and little black, yes

12:22 pm

Wolvie

the acid is immediate, that is true

12:22 pm

Wolvie

phae - icky discharge

12:22 pm

jmcnrick

green ichy stuff from infection

12:23 pm

jmcnrick

pl

12:23 pm

phaeton

i always thought that had double cons in it

12:24 pm

jmcnrick

we us5 it for fire ants in Texas when I was young

12:24 pm

72 Temple Owl

is borx equivalent to diatomaceous earth?

12:24 pm

phaeton

ty wolvie and jmc

12:25 pm

jmcnrick

ach! us5 my own clue word! good thing the pb is closed on account of grid size!

12:25 pm

Wolvie

sodium borate

12:25 pm

Wolvie

i should have been typing borax. Le sigh

12:25 pm

jmcnrick

it is different TO

12:25 pm

Wolvie

me and my spelling

12:25 pm

Wolvie

lol jmc

12:26 pm

72 Temple Owl

they eat it and it is sharp and cuts them

12:27 pm

Wolvie

no, it poisons them.

12:28 pm

jmcnrick

and that tells you how bad it is that I would use poison in my organic house!

12:28 pm

72 Temple Owl

oh. the d. earth is not humane but is not toxic to anything

12:28 pm

Wolvie

if you pour straight acid, you can still miss the buggers underground, that's why i like to let them eat borax, sometimes lightly mixed to paste with sugar water

12:29 pm

Wolvie

ahhh - but a NATURAL poison, jmc. I do organic as well

12:29 pm

72 Temple Owl

i hate chemicals and consider them a last resort

12:29 pm

Wolvie

kills just as dead tho - so I'd call that toxic. lol - (i know what you mean - just kidding around)

12:29 pm

jmcnrick

I poured it on top of their hills. I know wolvie but I am not fond of even organic poison

12:30 pm

jmcnrick

well natural poison rather

12:30 pm

Wolvie

I know jmc, but sometimes you have to resort to stuff like that - sad

12:30 pm

72 Temple Owl

i was actually considering a spot sprayin the kitchen. they seem to be th eonly things that like my cooking

12:30 pm

jmcnrick

but it has gotten to where there is no peace in my kitchen

12:30 pm

Wolvie

;-)

12:30 pm

jmcnrick

lol TO

12:31 pm

jmcnrick

I had to when the termites ate my house too.

12:31 pm

jmcnrick

There is no organic nonchemical way to get rid of termits

12:31 pm

Wolvie

termites? EEK

12:31 pm

o-o

a flame thrower works well on recalcitrant ants if you can tolerate some collateral damage

12:31 pm

jmcnrick

and termites are your worst nightmare

12:31 pm

phaeton

re8/90?

12:32 pm

72 Temple Owl

12:32 pm

72 Temple Owl

good lord. when i turned over a rock last week and saw the waelth of grubs i was sure they were more than ants

12:32 pm

jmcnrick

I think those are illegal in the city limits

12:33 pm

jmcnrick

and since I have a semidetached my neighbors might have something to say about it

12:33 pm

there are many who finish but never speak .. I wonder at times how really outstanding these babblers are

12:49 pm

jmcnrick

okay 200 words seems a good break point bbl

12:50 pm

Wolvie

by jmc - 36 left here

12:50 pm

jmcnrick

12:50 pm

o-o

12:50 pm

Wolvie

12:50 pm

jmcnrick

12:53 pm

flosey

hi Wolvie

12:54 pm

flosey

have been since Aug 7 BR, and very happy to be here - hear regularly from daughter who is doing very well and thoroughly enjoying her son

12:54 pm

flosey

mean't I just went for a walk to clear the cobwebs from my head - back to finish up, I hope

12:55 pm

72 Temple Owl

-before lickety, not everyone finished. there was a different feel to the game

12:55 pm

o-o

thought you had mentioned a trip to vic

12:56 pm

flosey

I bet TO, I would not ever finish these big ones without Lickety

12:56 pm

flosey

oh yes, BR, it was just a day trip - over to take a friend to lunch and run a few errands

12:56 pm

72 Temple Owl

clue requests were reserved for the last hours of the grid. i remember hardly ever asking and feeling proud when i did finall finish one.

12:57 pm

Wolvie

wow - must have been challenging

12:58 pm

72 Temple Owl

it was the norm. and the stats were more valid.

12:58 pm

flosey

but that last hour would have been difficult for some players in different time zones

12:58 pm

Wolvie

true

12:58 pm

72 Temple Owl

yes but there were always some around to clue

12:59 pm

o-o

have not seen brandyjack for a very long time .. he helped

1:00 pm

flosey

yes, wonder where brandyjack has gone - or given up? would be good to hear from him again

1:00 pm

72 Temple Owl

he sure did! he felt he was no longer needed when lickety came along. brandyjack generated al ist and posted it in babanon

1:00 pm

mkg

that re list is horrendous! yipes.

1:00 pm

Wolvie

it was long mkg. :-)

1:00 pm

flosey

I'm leaving the re words to the end

1:01 pm

Wolvie

not me, I got those out of the way

1:01 pm

flosey

smart girl

1:02 pm

Wolvie

not so you can tell it. ;-)

1:03 pm

o-o

lists are tools ... not having them might be considered horrendous by some

1:04 pm

mkg

please up 7 clue first one?

1:05 pm

phaeton

all the up words are followed by r words

1:05 pm

72 Temple Owl

1:17 pm

phaeton

OH! Poor TraderKate...that is a sorry thought to have. :)

1:17 pm

72 Temple Owl

after allof our science viruses are still mysterious to us

1:18 pm

phaeton

That is right Dorens....they think what happens is a white cell lays dormant and something triggers it later in life to reproduce malignant celss

1:18 pm

TraderKate

have no one to kiss any way, not a great deal to cede

1:18 pm

72 Temple Owl

I use it all the time at the end stage -- sometimes even sooner

2:45 pm

TraderKate

back....so you're a lurker haz???

2:45 pm

Haz1558

Am I a lurker?

2:46 pm

jillibus

I have a mere 244 left and things to do, so will just be here and there

2:46 pm

TraderKate

jumped in only @ mention of morewords...glad you spoke up looks like a good site...no wonder you all do so well.

2:47 pm

Haz1558

I think you'll find it useful.

2:48 pm

TraderKate

did yesterday's puzzle the hard way, so extra proud...no "cheating" but it took me forever....will avail myself of it in future! thanks again all

2:49 pm

Uniquity

Haz may not be a lurker, but she's a looker ;)

2:49 pm

jillibus

morewords is no more "cheating" than asking for clues is.

2:49 pm

Haz1558

Hello Uni.

2:49 pm

Haz1558

Yes, define cheating?

2:49 pm

jillibus

Hi Uni

2:50 pm

TraderKate

didn't have what i was looking for though...some esoteric/archaic word no doubt

2:50 pm

Uniquity

That notion seems to keep popping up in chat...that using moreqords or a2z is "cheating." I find it rather disturbing.

2:50 pm

Uniquity

Hello Haz, Jilli, etc

2:50 pm

jacq

it's not cheating

2:50 pm

jacq

heya uni

2:51 pm

TraderKate

did not mean to offend . merely meant without assistance. mean as a tool to help solve

2:51 pm

jillibus

hi jacq

2:51 pm

jacq

heya jilli

2:51 pm

Haz1558

It's making sensible use of available resources.

2:51 pm

jillibus

Kate, you're not the only one who uses that term, as you can see, lol!

2:51 pm

Uniquity

Then there are the days when people used to throw words in chat purposely...that comes closer to 'cheating,' methinks.

2:51 pm

jillibus

Kate, do you have a Mac or a PC?

2:52 pm

periwinkle

hello all, yes I agree with Haz

2:52 pm

periwinkle

really like morewords

2:52 pm

jillibus

hi peri

2:52 pm

Uniquity

Haz is queen of sense and sensibility. As well as England.

2:52 pm

periwinkle

2:53 pm

TraderKate

i do agree. assume there are purists that frown on use of tools.

2:53 pm

Haz1558

It's always best to agree with me, peri, isn't it? Hello!

2:53 pm

periwinkle

jilli, there are nekkid people inyour icon :-)

2:53 pm

jillibus

let them frown. We can't see them.

2:53 pm

jacq

nekkidness???? on here??? covers my saintly eyes

2:53 pm

jillibus

but it's artisitc nekkidness, peri ;)

2:54 pm

TraderKate

....put it in quotes for a reason folks....caused hackles to raise any way, sorry.

2:54 pm

Haz1558

And there I was thinking that jillibus had a picture of a pink elephant.

2:54 pm

jacq

no Kate, you didn't, just a different view

2:54 pm

Uniquity

*Sees no hackles.

2:54 pm

Bugsaw

I use Lickety's List when I am stuck. If I only entered words I knew, I would never increase my vocabulary. I dont think it is cheating

2:54 pm

jillibus

no prob, kate -- did you see my queston?

2:54 pm

TraderKate

jil have ibm thinkpad pc

2:55 pm

jillibus

Lol, Haz -- just an icon clue I couldn't resist.

2:55 pm

TraderKate

thaks uni

2:55 pm

jillibus

So Kate, do you know about BabbleExpert?

2:56 pm

TraderKate

not yet, too busy doing things tthe hard way to explore fully

2:56 pm

Uniquity

Nothing like a grid where you are over 1/4 done and there are still 293 words left.

2:56 pm

TraderKate

thought i'd look at babble for dummies first...

2:58 pm

TraderKate

is that ".com" jil?

2:59 pm

jillibus

well, it speeds things up because everything is on one page and there's the Lickety Add box where if you type one word it automatically goes to the list (and to Lickety's when it's available) and if you type more than one word it goes to the chat. There are Resources too, with a link to morewords among other things. All free if you email Lickety, although it's preferred that you go pro for that measly one-time $15.

2:59 pm

jillibus

All that was about BabbleExpert

3:01 pm

TraderKate

is that the bit about lickety beta testing on bottom right of lickety's page? assumed it was only for pros...

3:02 pm

jillibus

I guess so

3:02 pm

Uniquity

It is not only for pros, but it is preferred as it makes babble much easier and some might use that without ever paying for the permanent stats panel, etc.

3:04 pm

periwinkle

help with both gl7 pls

3:04 pm

JBV

hi, everyone - you must have been calling me - another vote for Babble Expert - it's great!

3:05 pm

TraderKate

truthfully, not sure i'll stay on. you're all lovely, and i like the puzzle, but it's Very time-consuming and addictive....not very good at self-control at times...can be very driven to "find the answer"...

3:05 pm

Uniquity

Annie gives some good enthusiasm for expert now that she uses it :)

3:05 pm

JBV

what a day for this to happen - I got up to 200 words this morning, then lost my internet connection!! had to wait for my personal tech consultant (my son) to get home and bring me back to babble life

3:05 pm

jillibus

Dr_God supplies Babble itself, and it's only fair to recompense him

3:05 pm

Haz1558

gl7 - past and present tense of 'take delight in'

3:06 pm

jillibus

Kate, we all hae that problem, lol!

3:06 pm

jillibus

thanks, Haz :)

3:07 pm

Haz1558

You're welcome, jillibus.

3:08 pm

TraderKate

perhaps it will take less time using expert? i have no p-roblem with payment for such a fine site, though don't like to pay on line. yes,yes, know it's secure - just knee jerk reaction

3:09 pm

Expert and morewords absolutely speed things up -- besides, not all grids are as gigantic as this one and many recent ones

3:10 pm

TraderKate

will see to e-mail for expert...if it cuts the time down, i may be able to squeeze you into my busy life.

3:10 pm

this is what Flamboyant said of the 25 word grid: "what the...4 vowels...technically 5 if you count y...grrr..babble is evil"

3:50 pm

broll

Flam may be right! But I would say that about the larger grids.

3:52 pm

o-o

August of 2005 is a popular month for turning pro

3:53 pm

o-o

I don't view words or grids in terms of good or evil. People make choices. No one forces Babble on anyone.

3:53 pm

TraderKate

babble is a woman...harsh mistress, cruel taskmaster, and enticing siren ready to dash us all against the rocks

I always thought Break a leg was associated with first night in teh

yes inge, wouldn't have said it to mrp though!

4:26 pm

Bugsaw

You are supposed to ay it to people who are going to perform in some artistic event - like play the piano or act in a play.

4:26 pm

Bugsaw

Apparently to wish them luck will hex them

4:26 pm

Soodle

Yeah Bug - thats what I was attempting to say..

4:26 pm

Bugsaw

You can say it before every performance Soodle

4:26 pm

theatre folk very superstitious, that's instesd of good luck..

4:27 pm

ooooh. Eviction coming up in Big Brother. Gotta go... BBL

4:27 pm

Bugsaw

Theatre folk are even more superstitious than athletes if you ask me.

4:28 pm

TraderKate

it is however part of common vernacular now.

4:29 pm

inge

And I never associated that phrase with the theater. Weird.

4:29 pm

TraderKate

these are the people that will not utter the name of "THE SCOTTISH PLAY"...very bad luck

4:30 pm

Takuma Sato

I asked an actor friend how far that extended, and she said they say the character's name, but not the play's

4:31 pm

Takuma Sato

which much get tough, remembering to say "I'm playing Macbeth in The Scottish Play"

4:31 pm

TraderKate

tee hee

4:31 pm

Takuma Sato

There's going to be trouble when someone writes a play called "The Scottish Play" and it becomes popular...

4:32 pm

TraderKate

don't they use a euphamism for name as well?

4:32 pm

Bugsaw

When I was growing up we had actors hanging around the house a lot. They were a weird lot. One used to prepare for his performance by lying on the floor under the coffee table with his arms folded across his chest like he was in a coffin.

4:32 pm

TraderKate

euphemism

4:33 pm

TraderKate

creepy, bugsaw

4:47 pm

72 Temple Owl

4:51 pm

o-o

you can denigrate me all you want.. it is in the dictionary

Shivs Fitz

The cat likes marmelade? Ours wouldn't touch it.

7:10 pm

herinfernallady

Yep and spicy bbq corn chips, spicy potatoes he tries human food at least once or smells it and runs. Madam on the other hand is a fussy moo and will wait to see if it kills him first then eats it. Not obvious that Lucius (black cat under 1 year and Pandora (aka Madam Fatty or Madam 3 years) are my kids

7:11 pm

Shivs Fitz

Madam is the smarter cat.

7:11 pm

herinfernallady

No she is the fatty and well is just selective of her food just like me

7:12 pm

Shivs Fitz

Yes and who can blame her?

7:14 pm

Bugsaw

Welcome to the game Shiv

7:15 pm

herinfernallady

That is true. I just did a quick icon change and have the pair of them up. Hi Bug

Shivs Fitz

They're lovely!

7:16 pm

herinfernallady

That is the mentals. Bug s that icon of yours one of your creations?

7:16 pm

Shivs Fitz

Solid black and solid white? Opposites!

7:17 pm

Bugsaw

No, sorry. It is left over from a day when I supposed to show what I would take to the Penalty Box. I am feeling a bit low today so I am just playing the game without trying to appease anyone

7:17 pm

Bugsaw

I do love to bake tho

7:18 pm

herinfernallady

Thank you. They know that they are attractive but are both very spoilt never over fed and fed the best pet food on the market. Yes Shivs. Lucius isn't sold black he has white tuffs on his arm pits and a small tuff under his chin. We think she may be White Russian judging by her build and the black grease mark she had on her head as a kitten

7:18 pm

herinfernallady

mmmm Bug you have pleased me greatly. I would love to make a meal out of that Trifle

7:19 pm

Bugsaw

I have the same trouble herein. That is why I don't make it much!
