12:20 am

Just1Mar

not at list...111 left but still 2BT's :(

12:20 am

Atalante

tannoy not in the dictionary?

12:20 am

Atalante

what's that got to do with salt?

12:21 am

mrpresident

it sounds like it does

12:21 am

jillibus

sel is salt in French

12:21 am

Just1Mar

sounds like it would have something to do with salt...that's how I got it lol

12:21 am

flosey

have been trying that way jilli, still no luck

12:21 am

Atalante

oh. sounds like. yeah, I got that. but it isn't really

12:21 am

flosey

aha, just monkeyed it

12:22 am

jillibus

the ? says it is a salt of an acid

12:22 am

Just1Mar

I will look it up but before I do could it possibly have something to do with the word selenoid (selinoid) like the important part of a car's igintion system?

12:23 am

mrpresident

well, it is a salt then

12:23 am

Just1Mar

nope guess not

12:23 am

Atalante

I guess it's a salt that way yes! But the sel isn't salt. Just saying!

12:24 am

flosey

finally got that last a for nbt

12:24 am

Just1Mar

but ohhh how many selenoid switches I've had to have replaced over the years sigh

12:24 am

Just1Mar

but yes...sel is salt in french ata...at least in quebecois french, it is

12:25 am

Atalante

well yes. but the base of the se8 word is not a reference to salt, but rather to an element

12:25 am

Just1Mar

speaking of french...there's an ma6 a jewish word!

12:25 am

Pinikula

well, sadly, I'll have to work on it tmw...gotta git...night all!

12:25 am

Just1Mar

12:25 am

mrpresident

12:26 am

Atalante

so not a big deal. was just saying in passing

12:26 am

Just1Mar

12:26 am

broll

hate to be picky, but the electric coil thingy is a solenoid. Close, but no cigar.

12:27 am

1:01 am

Atalante

it's something to do with arthorpods I *think*

1:01 am

justafreep

ahh, a latinate ending

1:01 am

justafreep

yes, Mr. P, I do have it

1:02 am

cybernan

1:02 am

Atalante

arthropods

1:02 am

mrpresident

arthorpods? ?

1:02 am

Just1Mar

thx freep...did you actually monkey that?

1:02 am

1:03 am

cybernan

well, seeing has how I'm not an entymologist....

1:04 am

justafreep

yes, just1 - I did. once I had the 6 (which I got), I gathered from Mr. P that the 8 was related.

1:04 am

Atalante

1:04 am

Atalante

am looking for the 8 now

1:04 am

Just1Mar

1:08 am

Atalante

1:08 am

mrpresident

1:09 am

cybernan

no 8 - kind of food a dieter eats

1:09 am

Atalante

oh wow, would never have monkeyed that!

1:09 am

mrpresident

ata, no8 comes off the no6.... doesn't make you put on weight

1:09 am

mrpresident

the te8 is not in the dictionary damn it!

1:10 am

jillibus

1:11 am

Atalante

An arthropod is an invertebrate that has an exoskeleton (external skeleton), a segmented body, and jointed attachments called appendages. They include the insects, arachnids, crustaceans, and others. :D

3:45 am

grannyrose

dee, fortunately, mine is tied in with my central sleep apnoea

3:46 am

VolleymomDee

which means what granny?

3:46 am

Just1Mar

I sleep very odd times too now,dee but due to "other problems"...hubby is just starting (hopefully) to understand my sleeping habits

3:46 am

3:46 am

VolleymomDee

with my CPAP , a lot of things have sorted themselves out. my brain sometimes forgets to tell my lungs etc to do their thing.

3:47 am

VolleymomDee

so sorry eva big hug to you, too

3:47 am

Eva

thanks and the same for you

3:47 am

VolleymomDee

... I have wondered if I might need to investigate that granny...

3:47 am

Just1Mar

well it depends on their personality...my hubby is an earlier riser and can close his eyes and be asleep in less than a minute

3:47 am

VolleymomDee

ty

3:48 am

VolleymomDee

exactly same here just

3:48 am

VolleymomDee

but I think he did get weary of all of my tumbling around, so I think he does appreciate my disappearing from the bed...

3:48 am

Just1Mar

he tells me to close my eyes and follow the dot....so I ask him...what f***ing dot and where do I find it!

3:48 am

VolleymomDee

LOL

3:49 am

rbud

my hubby works nights, so I don't really have any good excuse for staying up this late...I just do! :)

Eva

klonopin has been a blessing for me.

3:49 am

VolleymomDee

lol and we are glad you do rb!

3:49 am

grannyrose

not all that difficult, dee. usually a sleep study, overnight stay, then a second night with a CPAP to work out what setting you need.

3:49 am

Just1Mar

but I also love the quiet and solitude of the nights....

3:50 am

VolleymomDee

thx for info granny; what is klonopin eva?

3:51 am

Eva

it's in the benzo family and helps with sleep and seems especially effective with fibro. I take a very small dose and it has made a huge difference in my sleeping

3:51 am

grannyrose

overhere we had to go through an ENT speciallist

3:51 am

VolleymomDee

I do, too just... I try not to schedule anything in the mornings, which usually works out (cept for church on Sun)... sometimes I just stay up Sat night then go to church, come home and sleep in the afternoon; hubby usually watches sports, which I think he kinda likes not being bugged

3:51 am

VolleymomDee

3:52 am

rbud

I love the quiet at night, too, but I also have a son, 18, who comes and goes at all hours, so if I do go to bed, odds are he (and the dog barking) will wake me up at some point, lol

3:53 am

VolleymomDee

2 ph 7's eva; what you call on; minus last vowel add man's name for ph 7/36; other is ph 7/40 call + personal pronoun

3:54 am

Just1Mar

well now that my kids (son and his wife) have moved in here for the next 10 months or so, they're both finding me a bit strange but it fits in fine tho...

she's only 1 year younger than my son...my only child too

4:04 am

grannyrose

dee, that quality time you had with your daughter is priceless

4:04 am

VolleymomDee

ty so much mar (((mar)))... I think you are right, except when I worry about our debt..

4:05 am

Just1Mar

ohhh dee so sorry about that...hope it's not your home, at least.....we live very simply now, esp since I haven't worked for 6 years now and that was only part time with no benefits....

4:05 am

VolleymomDee

I loooooved that time; she played travel volleyball; I chaperoned one of her travel teams; we had such a wonderful time for all those years

4:05 am

Just1Mar

but we never accrued debt ....at least not for that last 20 years

4:06 am

Just1Mar

and that's something that no one can ever take away from you dee....

4:06 am

grannyrose

i did the same thing for my sons, after my divorce...le4 a 60k a year job, went on4 benefits of 8k a year for 2 years.

4:06 am

VolleymomDee

my hubby is a self employed independent insurance salesman, so our economy has had its negative effects; we are praying that the worst is over

4:07 am

VolleymomDee

nice granny; you understand too

4:07 am

grannyrose

very well, dee

4:07 am

Just1Mar

sure hope so too Dee....You so deserve a stressfree life...stress is what prob caused the AR and Fibro...I know it did for my sister

4:07 am

grannyrose

still can't work out how i managed.....

4:08 am

Just1Mar

sheer will granny, sheer will!

4:08 am

VolleymomDee

I definitely realize stress impacts both; they think the RA started from a virus (triggered by) I encountered when we were in England and Scotland in 95, but I think I had it prior to that undiagnosed

4:08 am

VolleymomDee

agree granny

4:08 am

rbud

I begin to understand your icon, g'rose! :)

4:09 am

grannyrose

* giggle * rbud

4:09 am

VolleymomDee

there are so many amazing women here (and men)..

4:10 am

VolleymomDee

such a pleasure to get to know you; feels like old friends... how very cool

4:10 am

Just1Mar

Well AR is an auto immune disease (like my son's Crohn's Disease) and yeah conditions prob came together (like the perfect storm) virus....compromised immune system some other factor too....

4:10 am

grannyrose

stress has a lot to answer for. i vote we chuck out stress and bring in something el4....now what could replace stress?

4:11 am

Just1Mar

well if I was younger granny, I'd say sex....

4:11 am

grannyrose

peace, love and happiness....good start

4:11 am

FMitch

LOL the babble answer would be chocolate!

4:12 am

VolleymomDee

ditto to all that

4:12 am

VolleymomDee

LOL fm

4:12 am

grannyrose

got that just......oops. did i say that out aloud?

4:12 am

VolleymomDee

peace and joy and love... top of my list

4:12 am

Just1Mar

it's too bad women don't rule the world....now how much war and hate do you really think there'd be?

4:12 am

FMitch

Hi Volley and rose and Just :)

4:12 am

Just1Mar

Hi FM!

4:12 am

VolleymomDee

hi fm; finally finished the stupid m's

4:12 am

grannyrose

we'd drown in logics, of course

4:13 am

Just1Mar

wtg Dee!

4:13 am

FMitch

Good to see you Ladies :)

4:13 am

grannyrose

hey mitch

4:13 am

Just1Mar

so nice to see you too FM! :)

4:14 am

VolleymomDee

I don't know just; I used to hate women... pain in the ... at work... biting, malicious, nasty... when I worked liked men much better, but now I am meeting more and more nurturing wonderful, intelligent females who are edifying and supportive, so my opinions are changing a bit

4:14 am

grannyrose

brb, call of nature...these old bladders aren't what they used to be..

4:15 am

Just1Mar

oh I hear ya about women in the workplace....esp back in the late 80's and the 90's....a powertrip for sure

4:16 am

VolleymomDee

just, I think we were not taught properly; we started out being so jealous of one another, rather than being cheerleaders for each other; am noticing a small difference with our daughter, but in her industry, men seem to still be the best mentors

4:16 am

FMitch

wow I could have written the same words Volley, I always preferred working with men as you knew where you were with them but now I too cherish the women in the same age group as me - we have such experience on so many levels.

4:16 am

Just1Mar

but I think as we age, we realize just exactly what is truly important in life, and buying the newest toys and having the latest fashions and lifestyles is NOT what is comforting

4:17 am

VolleymomDee

for sure fm

4:17 am

lynxxx

I agree - what is that about women on the workforce - so competitive or so much to prove - or just too much on their plate at home and work?

4:17 am

VolleymomDee

absolutely true just

4:17 am

lynxxx

hi FM

4:17 am

Just1Mar

family, simplicity, love is all we truly need

4:17 am

VolleymomDee

as corny as this sounds, I have been thankful for diseases, because I "see" the world differently

4:17 am

FMitch

Hello lynxxx

4:18 am

Just1Mar

and good friends of course!

4:18 am

VolleymomDee

not sure lyn... think some of it has to do with not teaching our daughters better

4:18 am

Just1Mar

I hear ya Dee....a "blessing in disguise"...

4:18 am

FMitch

oh yes - where would we be without friends! Especially the girlfriends who accept you as you are spots and all!

4:18 am

VolleymomDee

as they become more educated; more confident; maybe some of the garbage will dissipate and they will be more trusting of one another

4:19 am

VolleymomDee

ditto that fm

4:19 am

Just1Mar

I think I have become an agoraphobic, but I am more at peace now than I ever have been

4:19 am

VolleymomDee

me, too just!!

4:19 am

VolleymomDee

that comes with pain I think

4:20 am

Just1Mar

At least Dee...in this climate, and with winter on its way, I don't have to make excuses

4:20 am

Just1Mar

mental as well as physical pain, dee

4:20 am

grannyrose

Babble has the magic of bringing a lot of kindred spirits together, I doubt that Dr_G knew the impact that his 'game' would have on our lives.

4:24 am

Atalante

4:24 am

VolleymomDee

LoriP

Sleep tight Mar. G'd morning AND g'd night. :)

4:33 am

lynxxx

BBL an interesting show coming on discussing the idea that more cancers may be caused by viruses than they currently know. We had an instance in one ABC (our BBC) building in Queensland where 16 women all got breast cancers within a couple of year - a lot sitting around same desk!

4:33 am

LoriP

Mornin' jmc, thanks for the mops. It's all FM's fault of course. Ata Hari!!!! <------ How's Hobbit?

4:34 am

jmcnrick

i'd give you a stern mama look lori for passing the buck but I am too wired

4:34 am

LoriP

Interesting idea Lynx, catch ya' later perhaps.

4:34 am

FMitch

Oh hells bells phone brb

4:35 am

Atalante

4:38 am

FMitch

I know!!!!!!!!!!!!!

4:38 am

forwardbyfaith

hi all - anyone have the te6 or te8?

4:38 am

Atalante

Yes, walked her within an inch of her little life :)

4:38 am

jmcnrick

you need a solicitor to tell you you are moving?

4:38 am

jmcnrick

*wondering about moving law practice to GB*

4:38 am

LoriP

Morning forward, sorry, I gots me ZERO words.

4:38 am

jmcnrick

the 8 builds off the 6

4:39 am

LoriP

***wonders if walking a dog within an inch of her life is legal or ethical.... :)***

4:39 am

LoriP

FM, let the lawyers send it by carrier pigeon. More eco friendly anyays!

4:39 am

FMitch

LOL to jmc and LoriP

4:40 am

Atalante

legal, yes. probably not ethical lol

4:40 am

jmcnrick

if i could only spell i would clue the te8

4:40 am

jmcnrick

okay no making fun of my lack of spelling at 5:30 after no sleep and I will clue it

4:40 am

FMitch

Actually that is not a bad idea as we are under the threat of a postal strike.

4:40 am

Atalante

te + big car manufacturer + tolkien's tree + vowel

4:41 am

jmcnrick

oo a better clue than I had anyway!

4:41 am

FMitch

There goes Atsa having done the big walk with Hobbit and able to clue an 8! Us lesser mortals haven't even stated the grid.

4:42 am

Atalante

I even knew what it meant without looking it up!

4:42 am

jmcnrick

ata is my idol

4:42 am

LoriP

somehow, given jmc's disclaimor, it may have been more fun to let jmc clue it.... :D

4:43 am

forwardbyfaith

hmm...wondering what tokein's tree is

4:43 am

jmcnrick

te+constinant+not adult girls+british bood-bye

4:44 am

jmcnrick

my spell check and I are feuding again

4:44 am

FMitch

bood bye? Thats my sort of typing!

4:44 am

jmcnrick

hi forward

4:44 am

LoriP

heh heh heh "bood bye" I knowed jmc's would be more beter-er!

4:44 am

jmcnrick

ggrrrr

4:44 am

Atalante

constinants sound painful

4:44 am

jmcnrick

to be fair no one agreed not to make fun of me

4:45 am

jmcnrick

*sulks*

4:45 am

LoriP

lol Ata, sounds like the risk of alien probes would come in to play somewhere along the line

4:46 am

LoriP

Exactly jmc! As a typo Queen, I'm honored to have you amongst my number. :)

4:46 am

Atalante

awwwwww

4:46 am

jmcnrick

4:47 am

Atalante

4:47 am

jmcnrick

i knew if i were blue i could come here and be cheered up

4:47 am

LoriP

Shock AND awwww Ata, or just awwwww?

4:48 am

FMitch

ditto jmc

4:48 am

LoriP

Babble has provided me with some of the best laughs ever

4:48 am

jmcnrick

i know and appreciate it

4:49 am

Atalante

too early in the day for shock

4:49 am

jmcnrick

actually my close lifelong friends would probably tell you that i seldom laugh out loud but babble chog has changed that

4:49 am

forwardbyfaith

all these great clues and I still can't get the te8 - maybe I shouldn't be playing tonight!

4:49 am

jmcnrick

unfortunately i am usually at work!

4:50 am

FMitch

Babble has given me some very good friends and has also got me through some hard times.

4:50 am

Atalante

one thing Babble has taught me is that I can be funny. I never used to think that at all

4:51 am

jmcnrick

lower appendage substitute t for the first letter + adult boys + british GOOD bye

4:51 am

jmcnrick

ata you are so funny!

4:51 am

Atalante

see! :) LOL

4:52 am

LoriP

Ata has a wicked sense of humor. Many a monitor short out incident because of her one liners....

4:52 am

jmcnrick

lol

4:52 am

FMitch

LOL!!

4:53 am

Atalante

but I never ever realised that before Babble. I thought I was totally incapable of being funny. Amazing what you learn

4:53 am

forwardbyfaith

ty jmc - finally got it!

4:53 am

jmcnrick

yeah forward!

4:53 am

LoriP

***tiptoes behind FM and grabs her portable phone, hops on a bus and journeys to the Thames and ceremoniously throws it in, grabs a plane, flies back home and acts all innocent like***

4:54 am

LoriP

Yea forward!

4:54 am

FMitch

Ata you have a great sense of humour

4:54 am

Atalante

gosh, Lori, you have a speedy plane!

4:54 am

jmcnrick

what are the stats on the ny words? I know they are in there somewhere

4:54 am

FMitch

I think Lori is using the TARDIS

4:55 am

Atalante

she can't! it's in Cardiff

4:55 am

Atalante

unless she stole it ......

4:55 am

jmcnrick

I was more impressed by the speed of the bus!

4:55 am

Atalante

think sex mad, jmc :)

4:55 am

jmcnrick

ty ata

4:55 am

o-o

4:56 am

jmcnrick

hi BR

4:56 am

FMitch

Yay BR is here - was wondering when you would show your face :)

4:56 am

iblues429

what do those numbers mean?? i'm new and confused haha

4:57 am

Atalante

confused? join the club

4:57 am

jmcnrick

it means that there are three words that begin with ny

4:58 am

LoriP

well blues, I'm middle aged and confused, so it's all good.

4:58 am

jmcnrick

one is 5 letters one is 6 and one is 7

4:58 am

forwardbyfaith

first number is how many letters in the word, second number is point value for that word

4:58 am

LoriP

Mornin' BR

4:58 am

iblues429

oooh ok that makes sense, thanks!

4:58 am

jmcnrick

i still get confused by the points since the number of letters factor into that

4:59 am

jmcnrick

but the points are helpful to ferret out high point tiles like the Z

4:59 am

jmcnrick

and welcome to the chog iblue

4:59 am

FMitch

Many a grid I have managed to complete by frantic number counting.

4:59 am

LoriP

39 m's? Gross

5:00 am

LoriP

41 actually if one were going for accuracy, which I think is highly overrated.

5:00 am

Atalante

as bad as 26 Fs

5:00 am

jmcnrick

and there i restrained myself from correcting you

5:01 am

LoriP

Are you kidding me? There's an f in this grid? Gah

5:01 am

Atalante

26 of the blighters

5:02 am

FMitch

think I will pass on todays grid - haven't event done sucky duck (as Has would say) overslept this morning thanks to someone!!

5:02 am

jmcnrick

sucky duck??

5:02 am

LoriP

Sucky Duck would be fun if it weren' for the numbers and stuff.

5:03 am

Atalante

brb

5:03 am

jmcnrick

5:03 am

LoriP

You overslept FM? ***snickers quietly***

5:06 am

FMitch

OK time I went and kicked some butts - great chatting with you all - back in a while.

5:06 am

jmcnrick

5:07 am

LoriP

Alas I must wander off for a bit, some crazy law that says I should send snacks and lunch with the kids to school.

5:07 am

LoriP

Every day no less, can't even forget it once. Madness.

5:07 am

jmcnrick

7:04 am

Wolvie

time shifting?

7:05 am

herinfernallady

Oh that is a pain in the arse. When I was an insomniac i got to see some good Canadian shows.

7:06 am

crosshair

the cable company has support for many provinces and as you go west you lose time and as you fo east you gain time,we take advantage of that wolvie

7:06 am

Wolvie

ahh - we are prevented from doing that with our sat system, as well as with cable when we used to have that

7:07 am

Nef

hi jmc. Are you often on at this time of day?

12:41 pm

harpjane

12:41 pm

jmcnrick

sometimes it depends on what's up in the office and if i have meetings

12:42 pm

Nef

It's damp and cool here today, harp. Plant a few for me too! :-D

12:42 pm

12:50 pm

jacq

then i won;t have to have had beans on toast

12:50 pm

harpjane

thanks!

12:51 pm

Nef

jac, "beans on toast?" Sounds --very different

12:51 pm

KBfanatic

thought ne6 was a name

12:51 pm

rbud

was going to clue it as a wrestling hold, a half-ne****

12:52 pm

jacq

it's certainly different from honey and mustard glazed pork with peppers and lemon

12:55 pm

harpjane

se5?

12:56 pm

rbud

that's the Biblical one, se + do re mi fa so ** + consonant

1:00 pm

Nef

rbud, it helps to know the difference between a vowel and a consonant today (I *definitly need some coffee now!) ;-)

1:00 pm

o-o

ne 6 seems to be an eponym

1:01 pm

rbud

now there's a word I had to look up, BR! :)

1:03 pm

o-o

ultracrepedarians like me use it on occasion

1:04 pm

rbud

okay, you got me there, can't find that one, lol! ;)

1:05 pm

superflippy

Is it just me, or are the M's particularly tough?

1:05 pm

rbud

does it mean wrinkly? (giggling)

1:05 pm

rbud

and yes, I have lots of M's unfound, and I've been trying since last night.

1:06 pm

superflippy

BR, how many points would that be? It would have to make the all-time long word list!

1:08 pm

FMitch

I think it means expressing your opinion on a subject that you dont really know about but I could be wrong? or am I being a ultracrepedarian in saying that ;)

1:10 pm

rbud

I based my guess on the "crepe" part of the word, heehee

1:11 pm

Atalante

how come you can spell that and not Hza?

1:11 pm

Nef

too bad we can't use eponym today in this grid (I looked for it!)

1:11 pm

FMitch

cos 'copy and paste' is a great facility!

1:12 pm

Nef

LOL!

1:12 pm

Atalante

*grin*

1:13 pm

jessmom

i think it would be ul 18/357, superflippy

1:14 pm

FMitch

seeing the word eponym makes me start singing the song 'The Girl from Epanema' sp?!

1:14 pm

KrisE

The girl from Eponyma?

1:14 pm

FMitch

Ipanimia?

1:14 pm

FMitch

1:15 pm

jessmom

1:15 pm

Nef

I read you first spelling as Ep *enema*!

1:16 pm

FMitch

Oh, I garee, FM. I would never really want to live through my 20's again; but that is where my mind decided to settle in!

1:40 pm

jacq

1:40 pm

Nef

The 20's were such an unsettled time for me: unsure of my self but full of energy. I don't understand why my brain wants to stay that age.

1:41 pm

Atalante

I loved my 20s, but I've loved every year so far

1:41 pm

6:43 pm

stidmama

hm. stidkid #2 seems to have a swollen lymph node OR salivary gland. So I am going to call the consulting nurse and just see how worried I am supposed to be. After all these years if it's not delirium or spurting blood I often don't jump fast enough.

she's an old friend from Houston who comes up to visit her cousin with CP for whom she is the trustee. she uses my house as a pied de terre

7:47 pm

jmcnrick

I don't really have to do much more than say hi

7:48 pm

lbdawger

that's nice of you to let her have a place to land

7:48 pm

jmcnrick

she does the same for me when I go to Houston. we are friends enough not to expect more than a bed from each other.

7:49 pm

jmcnrick

and she is bringing me Elgin Sausage as a bread and butter gift!

7:49 pm

jmcnrick

mmmmm elgin sausage

7:49 pm

lbdawger

7:49 pm

lbdawger

7:50 pm

jmcnrick

we usually do talk but if I am too tired or she is it is okay to say so and go to bed

7:50 pm

jmcnrick

7:50 pm

lbdawger

how long have you known each other?

7:51 pm

8:06 pm

Dorens

of her generation.......But she has a wonderful daughter and one out of three grandchildren is also always there for her. Yes, she does... and she is still quite alert, funny and ascerbic. It must really be hard to be that old, I don't know how all us baby boomers will handle it

8:07 pm

lbdawger

i'm sure we'll find a way, with all our cyber friends it will be an interesting journey

8:07 pm

8:14 pm

MaMaWA

8:19 pm

lbdawger

8:19 pm

Dorens

8:19 pm

Dorens

8:19 pm

MaMaWA
