1:12 am

westford

sleep well pav ( I think you will )

1:12 am

dart001

Phagophobia or Sitophobia

1:13 am

dart001

according to phobialist.com

1:13 am

westford

I thought you were kidding ruru

1:13 am

rururocks

I think it is sitophobia

1:13 am

dart001

fear of food or eating or being eaten

1:13 am

rururocks

when earlier west?

1:13 am

rururocks

I don't kid about phobias...

1:13 am

jillibus

ty dart -- phago is the fear of eating, I believe, not of seeing others eat. I'll check sitophobia -- ah, there you are, ruru!

1:13 am

rururocks

lol

1:14 am

westford

sitophobia..sounds like something a really energetic person would have

1:14 am

dart001

he's a lurker...wonder what the fear of being lurked upon is?

1:14 am

westford

I can't sit down I have too much to do

1:15 am

westford

I respect your fear of snakes that's high on my list as well

1:15 am

rururocks

I can't get that he 7

1:15 am

rururocks

arrrrggh

1:16 am

jillibus

nope, that's not it -- again, it's fear of eating or of food, not of seeing OTHERS eat, which is REALLY weird.

1:16 am

westford

it's a crime ruru

1:16 am

westford

starts with a dutch beer

1:16 am

VolleymomDee

ke 7 if not said

1:16 am

westford

that guy must not take his dates to dinner

1:16 am

flosey

ty west, the dutch beer helped

1:17 am

VolleymomDee

he 7 ... adjective often use with crimes

1:17 am

westford

yw flosey it's a staple around here

1:17 am

rururocks

got it

1:17 am

jillibus

quite right, west -- seriously, he admits it's a big problem and he's trying to overcome it with help

1:17 am

flosey

oddly enough, not here, until son comes

1:18 am

flosey

that would be a very difficult phobia to deal with jilli

1:18 am

jillibus

got the he7 -- as dee said, it's an adjective describing something bad, not just a crime

1:18 am

VolleymomDee

kn 6

1:19 am

rururocks

who has this problem jilli

1:20 am

cybernan

1:20 am

jillibus

1:21 am

jillibus

1:21 am

rururocks

1:21 am

westford

good night nan

1:21 am

VolleymomDee

en 6 x 4

1:23 am

jillibus

1:23 am

Douglas

"Hey baby, what's your sign?" "Ne4"

1:24 am

2:03 am

FMitch

:)

2:03 am

westford

they were married recently flosey

2:03 am

rubyfoo

my tulips started in November because we had a cold snap. I replanted the bed (with help, of course), took everything out including some poorly lavenders from last year, added about 200 lbs of soil, added another 50 tulips , re-planted the old ones and then covered everything with dead leaves for protection. It was early December but then the snow came and covered them, and they are still visible, so it may be a success.

2:03 am

rubyfoo

before* not because

2:04 am

flosey

thanks west

2:05 am

westford

we have nothing peeking and more snow on the way

2:05 am

FMitch

2:07 am

westford

yes ruby we need to see pictures when it's in glory

2:08 am

2:12 am

sprite

west, yours is Scoleciphobia :)

2:13 am

rubyfoo

I was very lucky the way it worked out as 11 yrs ago, the dollar was still valuable; now this area has become chic and we never could have afforded it.

2:13 am

westford

I'll remember that sprite

2:13 am

flosey

great timing ruby

2:14 am

westford

that was lucky ruby

2:14 am

sprite

sounds chic, doesn't it

2:14 am

FMitch

ah yes I remember the times back then when money had value and the world seemed a lot saner.

2:14 am

westford

I suppose so sprite but it's still yucky lol

2:15 am

rubyfoo

the house isn't chic, however, it was really ordinary, but when we re-did it, I made it look older by the colors and materials I used and by using all our old furniture

2:15 am

westford

2:15 am

rubyfoo

as we were just married, it was a new start for us. I mostly used his stuff; mine is mostly in the studio

2:20 am

jillibus

the cheese is Gjetost

2:34 am

jillibus

I guess you made that up, sprite -- google never heard of it, lol!

2:34 am

sprite

I combined the relevant parts of anorexia and Ithyphallophobia. Oh, that would make Ithyorexiaphobia.

2:35 am

sprite

Ithyphallophobia being Fear of seeing, thinking about or having an erect penis

2:35 am

westford

I thought I detected a phallic symbol there

2:36 am

2:36 am

rubyfoo

2:36 am

jillibus

2:37 am

westford

should I say it?

2:37 am

jillibus

sure, west

2:37 am

sprite

some lists are pretty good, separating the known disorders from the made-up ones. But no matter how weird a thing you think up, some people are bound to be afraid of it!

nbjasmine

10:19 am

nbjasmine

hello all

10:19 am

redturtlehead

it looks like fun, the wii...

10:19 am

dcseain

i think you can do it, jasmine

10:19 am

westford

but can be dangerous..our son and his family got one for Christmas and the mom was bowling and swung her arm back and hit the 3 year old in the nose

10:19 am

dcseain

Wii is great fun :)

10:19 am

westford

hi jasmine

10:20 am

redturtlehead

10:20 am

nbjasmine

thanks dc and west. i haven't managed to finish a grid in a while

10:21 am

westford

I'm not doing very well on this one

10:22 am

rubyfoo

hello everybody, I only have a minute while dinner cooks and somebody is stomping around upstairs (not dogs). Saw a great movie this afternoon, Lovely Bones!

10:22 am

westford

hi ruby I want to see that

10:23 am

rubyfoo

amazing movie; I didn't expect it to be that good

10:23 am

westford

I probably shouldn't admit it but I like movies with Marky Mark

10:23 am

nbjasmine

did you read the book?

10:23 am

rubyfoo

if I could go to a movie every day, I would

10:23 am

redturtlehead

i heard it was very well done.

10:23 am

rubyfoo

is marky mark Mark Wahlberg?

10:24 am

westford

yes lol

10:24 am

westford

I can't stop calling him that

10:24 am

redturtlehead

really ruby? i am not a movie fan...

10:24 am

rubyfoo

I think I read something else by that author, but if I did, it was a long time ago.

10:24 am

rubyfoo

I was wondering if that was the same Mark. Did you see him in Boomtown?

10:25 am

rubyfoo

I'm more of a movie addict than just a fan...

10:25 am

westford

we do netflix

10:25 am

redturtlehead

so hard to sit for that long...

10:26 am

westford

at home you can pause it

10:26 am

rubyfoo

so does my son in Texas; they don't have it here and we don't know how to use the VCR or whatever. I used to go every weekend with a girlfriend and sometimes we'd see two movies

10:26 am

redturtlehead

yes, i sometimes watch on line...and pause it a lot.

10:27 am

rubyfoo

I am happy to spend hours

10:27 am

westford

ruby I remember when there would be 2 movies at a time

10:27 am

rubyfoo

is your houseguest gone, redt?

10:27 am

rubyfoo

she and I would go to a multi-plex and sneak into the second film! Naughty girls

10:27 am

redturtlehead

for the moment he is. I am feeling much more like myself.

10:29 am

rubyfoo

we get a few decent movies a week on French TV, but it's hard to find ones that aren't dubbed. My husband needs subtitles because he can't hear at a reasonable volume and his French isn't that great

10:30 am

bichon

I'm shoveling alone today. Hubby went to work. At least the snow is pretty light. Doing it in shifts

10:30 am

westford

I don't envy you bichon

10:31 am

rubyfoo

when I was a kid there were still shorts and a cartoon!

10:31 am

bichon

Especially when they guy who owns the snow blower in the neighborhood is working on the driveway next door.

10:31 am

westford

maybe you're next?

10:32 am

rubyfoo

slip him a 20!

10:32 am

westford

oh yes ruby and you could stay and watch the features all day

10:32 am

redturtlehead

OK I need to get dressed in other clothing and take the dog to the park, its the great backyard bird watch and we are participating!!!! (well, I am...)

10:32 am

bichon

Yes, if I cough up a few bucks. No, I'm tough, I can do it. I'm only 63 years young

10:33 am

rubyfoo

OK tough bichon!! See you after dinner

10:33 am

westford

that sounds so nice red

10:33 am

bichon

Besides, I need a bath for Biscuit to march to the street and do his thing

10:34 am

bichon

*path, but yest, he does need a bath

10:34 am

westford

does he help with the shoveling?

10:35 am

bichon

of course west, I give him a specially adapted shovel made for paws

10:35 am

westford

well then your work is half done lol

10:35 am

rubyfoo

and a cookie afterwrd

10:36 am

westford

one of our daughters lives in western MA and a few of her friends are raising their own sled dogs

10:36 am

bichon

He's on a special diet for kidney disease. I give him some raw veggies

10:36 am

rubyfoo

they are so beautiful! blue-eyed dogs!

10:37 am

westford

does he love the snow?

10:37 am

bichon

Do they sleep outside in the snow?

10:37 am

westford

they do even the babies

10:37 am

bichon

Biscuit, no. He did when he was young. Now it's an inconvenience

10:38 am

westford

I like being inside looking out

10:38 am

westford

today it was like a picture powdered sugar on everything

10:39 am

bichon

It looks so pretty, but after shoveling for a while, I curse it.

10:39 am

westford

we're getting the brunt of the storm later

10:39 am

periwinkle

back from more shovelling!!

10:39 am

Minveryork

Hello periwinkle! How are you? Welcome to the puzzle

10:39 am

westford

I'm glad you're both taking breaks

10:40 am

bichon

I'm so tired. I stayed up til midnight watching Olympic figure skating

10:41 am

westford

weren't they amazing?

10:42 am

bichon

I'm so glad with the results, but I really like the Germans too. Too bad they made a few mistakes

10:42 am

westford

I agree I can't imagine the thousands of hours they put in

10:43 am

bichon

Yes, and pain of falling all the time

10:43 am

westford

some of them leave their families as young children too

10:44 am

bichon

Yes, if you ever read bios of the Chinese pairs, it is grim what they have to endure to be successful. The winners, who are married, had to live in single room dorms.

10:45 am

westford

I saw that but now they have their gold medal

10:46 am

bichon

Yes, they do and will reap reward way beyond what ordinary Chine can look forward to. But, they've been doing this forever, and it must get very wearying

10:47 am

westford

I know they probably don't know what it is to just relax

10:47 am

westford

we should get them on Babble

10:48 am

bichon

They'll probably earn quite a few bucks touring and lead a comfortable, normal, married life

10:48 am

westford

I hope so

10:48 am

bichon

In a bio of them, she grew up in the freezing cold of Harbin China and spent hours skating on a frozen pond. She never complained.

10:49 am

westford

you can tell it's a labor of love

10:50 am

westford

they seem genuinely fond of each other too

10:50 am

bichon

I don't know about that. It's a way to be successul in China. They probably would be working in a factory, if they never had started skating.

10:50 am

westford

weren't both of them hand picked to be figure skaters?

10:51 am

lil*monkey

10:54 am

Dorens

i had very hot thai chicken curry last night... cleared out the sinuses, for sure.. and some yummy dumplings

10:54 am

westford

bichon I know they are useful but I just can't handle it

10:54 am

bichon

bichon salivating wildly

10:55 am

lil*monkey

dorens, that sounds great... although right now all i'm eating is yogurt or soup

10:55 am

Dorens

10:56 am

Boobear

hi westford

10:56 am

lil*monkey

never mind, just foung the other 2

10:56 am

Dorens

there is an organic food place near my dentist's office that has great prepared foods, but ridiculously expensive. I treat myself to soup there after dental surgery.. a small solace, but delivious

10:56 am

westford

gj monkey!!

10:56 am

lil*monkey

dorens, i have not made larb na, but i love it. I think it would be easy... love those wide noodles

10:56 am

lil*monkey

what westie?

10:56 am

bichon

It's time to hit the snow again. bbl

10:57 am

lil*monkey

byeee bichon

10:57 am

Dorens

also tom yum kung (the hot soup), chicken with basil, etc. I don't do much thai cooking these days, but used to

10:57 am

westford

what what monkey? lol

10:57 am

westford

bye bichon take it slow and easy

10:57 am

lil*monkey

westie, you said "gj monkey" What does that mean

10:58 am

Dorens

ma ho. ground pork with peanauts and ypical thai seasonings, on a slie of pineapple and cilantro leaf on top .. fancy and tasty appetizer

10:58 am

westford

oh that you got the kn words

10:58 am

lil*monkey

OMG dorens that sounds soooooo good

10:58 am

lil*monkey

gotcha westie

10:58 am

Dorens

don't know if my keyboard is stuck or i'm not typing well. my last entry made me laugh when i read it

10:59 am

westford

one of the local Chinese restaurants is just now getting pad thai

10:59 am

lil*monkey

Mmmmmmmmmmm Pad Thai !!!!

10:59 am

westford

RI will eventually get the good stuff

10:59 am

lil*monkey

dorens, do you like "Drunken Noodles" It's wide flat noodles, spicy ground pork, very very very spicy

10:59 am

Dorens

you guys are making me hungry, and I left all the thai leftover's at ke*'* house last night

11:01 am

Dorens

yes i do, but larb, cold beef salad (another easy one to make... millions of variations), chicken with basil are my favorites.. i'm not a big noodle eater

11:02 am

westford

I'm taking notes

11:04 am

Dorens

get a couple of good basic recipes - keep nam pla, lime, hot peppers, and fresh cilantro and the ingredients on hand, and play around, westford. you can make many of the recipes yourself if there are no good thai restaurants near you

11:05 am

lil*monkey

also on that ingredient list: chopped peanuts, can of coconut milk

11:05 am

Dorens

and garlic

11:05 am

westford

thanks ladies this is a good start

11:05 am

lil*monkey

yea, garlic and ginger too

11:06 am

Dorens

can't really find galangal too easily

11:06 am

lil*monkey

is that the lemongrass?

11:07 am

Dorens

no, a straange ginger like thing that i've seen in chinatown sometimes. you can also buy thai green curry paste and rred curry paste in cans, and even good thai cooks use them

11:08 am

lil*monkey

now I'm thinking I might go out later to my local Thai restaurant and get some soup

11:11 am

westford

that should make you feel better

11:11 am

lil*monkey

i hope so, my jaw is now a dull ache

11:11 am

lil*monkey

i can't believe i paid someone a ton of $$$ to do this to me

11:12 am

westford

are you done or will you have to go again?

11:13 am

lil*monkey

i go back March 8 for the final crowns to be put on (have temps right now), then I go back in april for 2 more teeth

12:47 pm

12:55 pm

hurshy

el7 is when you run two words together because they have like, ending with a vowel and starting with a vowel. like in french, you have le chat but l'arbre.

12:56 pm

rubyfoo

When I was working and traveling all over the place, I used to love getting a rental and driving in new places!

there are so many olympic athletes who have changed their citizenship for one reason or another. the japanese woman who became russian to do pairs skating, etc. there was one story about someone becoming an american citizen and i was like, "they became an american on purpose?!" and my husband, appalled at my lack of patriotism, said that lots of people become americans all the time and i said, but if you're setting out to choose a new country, why not choose one with health care?

1:00 pm

lawyer-1

what word would u like?

1:01 pm

rubyfoo

any 7 besides the el that hurshy gave

1:01 pm

lawyer-1

1:02 pm

Sally-catlover

They would bounce around a bit though ruby.

1:03 pm

rubyfoo

1:03 pm

dcseain

a he7 crime, like murder

1:03 pm

rubyfoo

raofl

1:03 pm

FMitch

the mind boggles!

1:04 pm

Sally-catlover

Laughing so much I can't type the words in.

1:04 pm

crosshair

1:04 pm

rubyfoo

what a group, take my husband, please!!!!

1:05 pm

rubyfoo

naughty crossy!

1:05 pm

FMitch

again the mind boggles :)

1:05 pm

Sally-catlover

The shot-putters would have to be a bit careful too.

1:06 pm

rubyfoo

he also thinks that sportscasters need to have played the sport to talk about it -- which rules out most female commentators and non-athletes

1:06 pm

rubyfoo

terrible, unadmitted mysogynist

1:06 pm

crosshair

i tend to agree ruby,it is nice if they themselves have been there and done it

1:06 pm

FMitch

Oh stop I cant type for laughing too

1:07 pm

crosshair

1:07 pm

rubyfoo

yes, but I know more about baseball than he does, for instand, and I've never played

1:07 pm

hurshy

the ladies don't do the pommel horse. they have uneven bars, vault, floor, and beam. the men have parallel bars, pommel horse, rings, floor, high bar, and vault.

1:07 pm

rubyfoo

1:07 pm

FMitch

ROFL crossy, you devil.

1:08 pm

rubyfoo

I think the business of changing nationalities is a hoot but if only real Frenchman were on the national teams, they would never get beyond jr high school competitions!

1:09 pm

crosshair

ok then hursy the uneven bars..better use lots of chalk hehe

1:10 pm

helensgirlkid

Ruby's flag reminded me - does anyone recognise a flag identical to the French flag but with a single yellow star in the upper left corner?

1:11 pm

rubyfoo

hmmmm

1:11 pm

Sally-catlover

That K and N next to each other are useful.

1:11 pm

rubyfoo

maybe a former colony?

1:13 pm

rubyfoo

helen, is your profile photo a slow loris or a lemur?

1:13 pm

helensgirlkid

Saw it on a car this morning - very nice new flag - not likely to be a former colony that has since changed its flag. Wiki has an array of flags of sovreign nations, not there.

1:13 pm

rubyfoo

it's very cute but probably has sharp little pointy teeth

1:13 pm

helensgirlkid

It is the happiest sloth in the world.

fi6 adds a vowel to the fi5 above

2:53 pm

Kaplan the Magne

fi6 and the second en6. But if you start cluing me on the ones I already have, I might freak out again- I can't always control myself (it's because I was born with an extra vowel)

2:53 pm

Kaplan the Magne

jellen- you seem to have everything. Are you done?

4:32 pm

redturtlehead

I think if one skates at that level, red, one knows that "it happens" to everyone, even during important competitions.

4:33 pm

redturtlehead

true, but I guess If I were a pair I'd feel better if both of u were involved in the error....you know.

6:26 pm

crosshair

6:26 pm

Jeff7

6:27 pm

crosshair

6:28 pm

6:34 pm

crosshair

6:52 pm

redturtlehead

Oh tyvm! fish me...

6:53 pm

JBV

one large mackerel, coming up....

6:53 pm

jillibus

hi and here and there -- watching the men's skating with 22 to go

6:53 pm

JBV

ok, really going now (poof!)

6:53 pm

redturtlehead

hi jilli!

6:53 pm

Bugsaw

Hi jilli. I just got here and am watching the men at the same time too

6:54 pm

redturtlehead

i can not decide if i want skating or ncis....

6:54 pm

redturtlehead

Can I admit that Johnn wier irritates me.

6:54 pm

jillibus

what a story about that little guy from France who was so wonderful!

6:54 pm

Bugsaw

where we are, we can have it all red!

6:54 pm

jillibus

the skating is a one-off

6:55 pm

redturtlehead

well, ncus is on at 8, as is skating....

6:55 pm

Bugsaw

only saw the one who just finished

6:56 pm

jillibus

oh -- what a shame -- he was born in Brazil and abandoned on the street -- a French couple adopted him. He danced to perfection to the music from Munich with such poignancy too.

6:56 pm

Bugsaw

I don't know if there is a word for your fear jilli, but I found one that is pretty weird -- fear of teenagers, and it has a name

6:57 pm

redturtlehead

Maybe I shall be lucky, if they were smart they should have the NCIS be a rerun,,,,

6:57 pm

jillibus

exactly, red.

6:58 pm

jillibus

bugs, your teen phobia is quite understandable!

6:58 pm

jillibus

Here comes Yevtushenko -- bfn!

6:59 pm

Bugsaw

Red, I just checked. NCIS is called Good Cop Bad Cop and does not say it is new. Do you remember one that might fit that name? It could be a rerun for you.

6:59 pm

jillibus

oh, it's just the warm-up -- he's not on yet but Chipeur is...

7:00 pm

jillibus

I meant Plushenko, duh, not the poet

7:01 pm

Bugsaw

Yevtushenko was one of my favourite poets. I still tell kids, "Be equal to your talent, not your age."

7:01 pm

redturtlehead

Bugs I think it is a rerun....Yaaay....I remember it a little...

7:02 pm

Bugsaw

Hurray for red. You can have it all too

7:02 pm

redturtlehead

back to olympics! but does Johnny Wier irritate anyone else? or am I just out there.

7:04 pm

Bugsaw

he was never one of my favourites red. what irritates you?

7:04 pm

redturtlehead

I think its the air of drama he tries to create, that and the fact that he wore real fox fur...

7:05 pm

redturtlehead

and he comes off as a whiney pansie.

7:05 pm

Bugsaw

many of them are pansies which doesn't bother me, but whiney - you bet that is annoying.

7:05 pm

redturtlehead

the French Skater just went here, and he did a really nice job.

7:06 pm

redturtlehead

The pansy part does not bother me...its the whiney part...

7:06 pm

Bugsaw

I loved the way Toller Cranston skated but he whines too

7:06 pm

MPittore

Hello my babble friends!

7:06 pm

redturtlehead

7:06 pm

redturtlehead

7:07 pm

Bugsaw

sorry red, Toller is WAY old

7:08 pm

MPittore

7:08 pm

MPittore

meant "too"

7:08 pm

redturtlehead

OK I feel better. I feel a b it uncharitable, as I really think people shoudl jsut be who they are, but he is sort of trying too hard ot be who he is...

7:09 pm

redturtlehead

ahhh, not tonight then!

7:09 pm

MPittore

7:11 pm

redturtlehead

7:11 pm

jillibus

Bugsaw

Must go and get supper now -- back asap

8:25 pm

Bugsaw

we are so fortunate to have views like that every day, red.

8:25 pm

welki

red, have you ever been out this way?

8:26 pm

redturtlehead

I have been very close. I lived in Oregon for 2 years, did a lot of hiking on the Pacific Crest Trail, but did not get all the wa up in BC, just close to the border.

8:26 pm

Bugsaw

you will have lots of free places to stay if you ever get this far north red

8:26 pm

welki

i live in alberta and the views of the rockies here are spectacular ... BUT ... i have never felt as i did while sitting in the middle of kootenay lake, surrounded by the mountains of the same name. it was as if i was sitting in a postcard

8:26 pm

redturtlehead

oh no, I would never want to be a houseguest!

8:26 pm

welki

i've been to klamath and chiloquin, oregon

8:27 pm

redturtlehead

not after last week.

8:27 pm

redturtlehead

I lived in Corvallis. nearish to Eugene.

8:27 pm

welki

(but that was many, many years ago)

8:27 pm

Bugsaw

I think you would be a GOOD houseguest after last week

8:27 pm

welki

oh heck, the best houseguests are those who've had rotten houseguests!

8:28 pm

Bugsaw

Oregon has many beautiful areas too, especially the coastline

8:29 pm

redturtlehead

yes, I usually just hide and try to drink water from the tap...

8:29 pm

welki

oh .. guess what i did. i fell on new year's eve and sprained my ankle (common for me). six weeks later and it still hurts, so i went to the doc, had x-rays and get a load of this...

8:29 pm

welki

my ligament was pulled in such a way, and with such force, that it actually pulled a shard of bone from my ankle!

8:29 pm

redturtlehead

you broke it???

8:30 pm

redturtlehead

Oh no, how will this get fixed?

8:30 pm

welki

technically, yes

8:30 pm

Bugsaw

and you have been walking on it for 6 weeks?!

8:31 pm

welki

it's not a big piece of bone. i'm fortunate that my podiatrist's specialty is foot reconstruction .. he wants to immobilize it for a couple of weeks to see what happens. he's not too concerned that the piece of bone will "float," since it's still attached to the ligament

8:31 pm

redturtlehead

does not sound like fun Welki, but you can still fish right?

8:32 pm

welki

hehehe. technically, no. and not drive either. but i finagled him into 'allowing' me to drive to and from work without the walking cast (which needs to be refitted tomorrow ... i TOLD the tech it was too big, but she pooh poohed me),

8:33 pm

welki

(and we won't tell him about the fishing)

8:33 pm

welki

gotta tell you, though ... it felt great to have something be TOO BIG for a change! LOL

8:33 pm

redturtlehead

LOLOL, I hope it gets to feeling a lot better soon....

8:34 pm

welki

he's a good guy ... noticed a cyst in my fibula and some calcification around my heel (along with 3 more heel spurs) .. i've told my m.d. about my family's rheumatoid history, but this podiatrist wrote up an order for labs

8:35 pm

redturtlehead

ahhh I can not stay awake for anything anymore. goodnight dear babblers.

8:35 pm

redturtlehead

will see you tomorro!

8:35 pm

So can someone who isn't here help me with my last two ho words. The first ho 5,12 and the ho6,21?

9:21 pm

Jacula

Surely anyone who has played Babble and then come back for the chog for the past 5 years is weird?

9:21 pm

DR1965

I am proud to be weird

9:21 pm

aknitter

nope not weird

9:21 pm

DR1965

perfect is boring

9:22 pm

Jacula

First ho5.12 (says a voice from the ether) is to lift up a heavy weight like a crane might do.

9:22 pm

Jacula

It means the same as the he5/12 below it.

9:23 pm

wht

Ty jac. I have learned something today.

9:23 pm

Jacula

ho6.21 might be the li4 the cops have of the prostitutes in the area.

9:23 pm

aknitter

time for best in show at westminster. BBL to complete the grid. thanks for the company

9:24 pm

DR1965

bye AK

9:24 pm

Jacula

ho6 really means something like this: 'Psychology. any psychologic system postulating that the human mind must be studied as a unit rather than as a sum of its individual parts.'

9:24 pm

Jacula

See you again soon, I hope, AK.x

9:26 pm

Jacula

Or in other words, 'whole body approach'.

9:27 pm

wht

ty jac. Finally got that. Fireworks

9:27 pm

Jacula

Now, take the 'ic' off the end of the word you are trying to spell and you will have it.

9:27 pm

Jacula

Well done, wht.

Don't go stealing things TO.

9:31 pm

Jacula

The other 2 kn words describe a whip with multi leather thongs at the end, once used in Russia for flogginh 'criminals'. Sounds like slang word for 'nothing' (UK slang word..)

9:32 pm

DR1965

si6 please?

9:32 pm

wht

The other kn5 also sounds a bit like a tangled up rope.

9:33 pm

Jacula

The gel you find in little pouches to remove any moisture when yu buy a handbag, for instance.

9:33 pm

wht

si6 - the major ingrediant of sand.

I will be a good babble ho 4/5 and provide you with a story of clues. Since it was a V-Day a few days ago,I will tell you about li4/7 with my husband.We both fell head over he5/12 eachother when we met in 1993. I thought that he was the hottest guy that I had ever se4/4.He had some cheesy pick-up li 4/4 for me. But we have been together ever since. We walked down the ai 5/10 & became man and wi 4/11 in Oct. 2005. The wedding was fi 4/7 with no mishaps.But then we could not decide where to go for our honeymoon. He wanted a honeymoon in Vegas where the ca7/32 are but I decl5/12ed that idea.An argument en 5/12 and we were cl 5/12 to not having a honeymoon.Thought he might even fi4/7 for a divorce over it. So we had honeymoon in Mystic,CT.We bought our first ho5/14 in March 2007.The rest is history.I hope to never be alo4/4 again. Even though he can be a lo 5/12 and a w4/8 ass sometimes and I have wanted to ou4/5 him right out to the curb,I would hate to ever lo4/4 him. I would be lo 4/4 without him. I hope you are able to fi 4/7 away some of these clues. Now I am off to bed.
