jillibus

LOL!

1:52 am

jillibus

It's a "phew" for me -- had to print 160 sheets and my machine is on its last legs -- but it held up and the job is done, phew!

1:52 am

VolleymomDee

fantastic! that's a lot of printing

1:52 am

jillibus

did it 10 at a time, just in case

1:53 am

VolleymomDee

1:54 am

jillibus

oh -- warning to highwire -- in about 4 minutes there will be a hiccup here when nothing will enter, so don't keep hitting Enter. It just lasts a little while. Happens every night/day at this time (midnight grid time)

1:57 am

highwiregirl

wierd

1:57 am

2:01 am

highwiregirl

laaaaate flip

2:11 am

justafreep

should I go to bed or dive in?

2:11 am

VolleymomDee

hi

2:12 am

jillibus

would it help you make up your mind if you knew gremlin finished a little while ago?

2:12 am

justafreep

I'd assume he and dart were finished if they were here

2:13 am

jillibus

well, it took him more than 10 minutes this time, lol

2:13 am

jillibus

I don't think dart finished, did he, dee?

2:14 am

gremlinn

I only finish in under 10 minutes if it's amazingly small/easy or if lickety posts clues in the first few minutes

2:14 am

justafreep

lol. so it's a toughie. Well, I grayed the upper e so when I stop, I'll feel happy about SOMETHING

2:14 am

VolleymomDee

not sure jili; I didn't see

2:17 am

VolleymomDee

fireworks

2:17 am

jillibus

I'm slowly approaching halfway and will head for bed when I get there

2:17 am

jillibus

YAY dee!!!

2:18 am

VolleymomDee

ty

2:18 am

jillibus

I know Eire won't work, but I have to try it

2:18 am

VolleymomDee

definitely needed grem for last 40

2:19 am

VolleymomDee

I always do, too jili

2:19 am

jillibus

when will we ever learn...

2:20 am

VolleymomDee

lol never I guess...

2:22 am

jillibus

hah! exactly halfway!

2:23 am

VolleymomDee

well, I am off for some cough medicine and an antibiotic... wtg jili

2:23 am

flosey

wtg jilli

2:23 am

jillibus

antibiotic?

2:23 am

VolleymomDee

got coughed on one too many times last week... have the crud

2:24 am

jillibus

bronchitis, dee?

2:24 am

jillibus

if it's a virus, antibiotics won't work

2:24 am

VolleymomDee

wish people would stay home when they are sick... irritates me to death... I think it is more in my head and sinuses and cough is just from drainage, but time will tell

2:25 am

jillibus

but I hope you'll be better soon

2:25 am

VolleymomDee

think it started as a virus and ended up as infection in my sinuses (yes, you are correct)

2:25 am

jillibus

I so agree about people staying home when sick.

2:26 am

VolleymomDee

very frustrating, especially with those of us who have compromised immune systems

2:26 am

jillibus

well, take care, dee

2:26 am

VolleymomDee

okay, that is my soapbox for the day HA HA...ty jili; hugs to you (germ free)... poofing

2:27 am

VolleymomDee

cya the flip

2:27 am

jillibus

*waves to departing dee

2:27 am

flosey

agree - couple weeks ago, a couple of bridge players came with bad colds - there was jilli with the hand sanitizer, coughing, handling the cards that we would later pick up

2:28 am

flosey

g'night Dee

2:28 am

jillibus

I wasn't the sickie

2:29 am

flosey

sorry jilli - that came out rather twisted!

2:29 am

flosey

you were the life saver

2:29 am

jillibus

LOL!

2:29 am

flosey

should read before hitting enter!

2:29 am

jillibus

flosey, I sent you an email a few minutes ago

2:30 am

flosey

oh, thanks, I'll read it now

2:30 am

flosey

ah, super

2:31 am

flosey

hope she'll be back

2:31 am

jillibus

she said she would :)

2:31 am

flosey

no doubt hooked already!

2:31 am

jillibus

I think she got hooked when they were here and I showed her

2:32 am

flosey

good for you, jilli - you've brought in a few haven't you

2:33 am

jillibus

just you and the late dilly so far -- tried for more, but they didn't bite

2:33 am

flosey

is Jean still playing? think she said she was playing but didn't bother chatting

2:33 am

flosey

just the night owls eh!

2:33 am

jillibus

oh, I don't know! Funny Jean.

2:34 am

flosey

yes, I'd think she would enjoy the chat

2:35 am

jillibus

I can't figure her out

2:35 am

flosey

nor I

2:38 am

flosey

she and I both leaving the AH committee this year

2:38 am

flosey

Patricia took over the scoring from me

2:38 am

jillibus

how long have you been on it? Jean?

2:39 am

flosey

I've been on 4 years, don't know about Jean

2:39 am

jillibus

phant -- eight

2:39 am

flosey

I tried that

2:39 am

jillibus

that's enough, right?

2:40 am

FMitch

Good evening jilli and flosey and morning to those in my time zone :)

2:40 am

flosey

hello FM

2:40 am

jillibus

good morning, FM! Nice day?

2:40 am

FMitch

Trust all is well with you both?

2:41 am

flosey

great, thanks Mitch

2:41 am

FMitch

Very damp and overcast at the mo but it is still early.

2:41 am

jillibus

just fine, thanks

2:41 am

FMitch

Heavy rain last night has flattened the crocus but water is good for the garden and the temp is already +14

2:42 am

jillibus

blow hard and the clouds will obediently drift away

2:42 am

flosey

kitty just stopped by for a head rub

2:42 am

jillibus

we're having a bit of a cold snap here

2:42 am

jillibus

awww

2:43 am

FMitch

Ata was showing me some brilliant pics of her cat yesterday, in catnip heaven!

2:43 am

jillibus

I think they were on FB, weren't they?

2:43 am

FMitch

yes

2:44 am

jillibus

such bliss!

2:44 am

FMitch

but as I am not on FB I hadn't seen them

2:45 am

FMitch

Sily is so photogenic and such a pretty pusscat.

2:45 am

jillibus

I'm on it mainly for Lexulous but I haven't been keeping that up either. I do drop in to see what's up from time to time

2:47 am

justafreep

oh well. must sleep. got 140 done, but stopped dead now

2:47 am

justafreep

night all!

2:47 am

FMitch

I have kept that email you sent me jilli re the place you lived for a while near me and will be going out to explore soon. Will take my camera and let you know. :)

2:47 am

FMitch

Nighty night freep

2:48 am

jillibus

Oh great, FM!

2:48 am

jillibus

Well done, freep -- I only have 122 and I'm crashing

2:48 am

flosey

what a lovely thing to do FM

2:48 am

FMitch

I will wait for a sunny day so that you can see blue skies rather than grey.

2:49 am

flosey

well, I have 75 to go and they'll have to wait for tomorrow

2:49 am

flosey

off to bed, goodnight all

2:49 am

FMitch

I haven't even started yet but it is only 10 to 8 in the morning.
Bye flosey.

2:50 am

jillibus

look for the stile past the church. I bet it's still there. My cousin and I used to climb over it and get into the fields. We were scared we'd run into some bulls we were told were there but we never saw one.

2:51 am

jillibus

well done, flosey -- I now have 100 to go -- nice even number to leave for tomorrow although again I won't have much time.

2:51 am

FMitch

oh I will look for that then and the bulls :)

2:52 am

jillibus

I'm pretty sure they were ficticious, mentioned so that we wouldn't wander too far.

2:52 am

FMitch

*grin*

2:53 am

FMitch

Time for breakfast so will say TTFN.

2:53 am

jillibus

time for bed so ditto!

2:54 am

gremlinn...if you are still online may I take a moment to thank you for the lists you post in your profile! Many times I wouldn't have seen fireworks without you!

3:07 am

gremlinn

you're welcome

3:08 am

ddb4nana

could you tell a curious fellow babbler what your picture represents?

3:08 am

ddb4nana

it often brings a smile!

3:09 am

gremlinn

it's a "chog" (half chicken, half dog)

3:09 am

gremlinn

a joke on the other meaning (chog = chat log)

3:10 am

ddb4nana

cute! we had a liger here in Utah at our zoo...for real!

3:10 am

gremlinn

ah, I'll bet those are a bit easier to breed

3:10 am

ddb4nana

he died many years ago and is now on display...stuffed...if you can imagine!

3:11 am

ddb4nana

yes, easier to breed!

3:11 am

ddb4nana

I wonder what you feed a chog?

3:11 am

gremlinn

corn biscuits

3:12 am

ddb4nana

hmmm...

3:12 am

ddb4nana

it is 2:12 am here...off to bed...

You're welcome. Good morning/evening all.

3:54 am

ooh, people!

3:54 am

Haz1558

Oooh, hurshy!

3:54 am

hurshy

why is not eggier a word?

3:54 am

Haz1558

A good question.

3:55 am

FMitch

Hi hursh

3:55 am

tfgrrl

Sounds like a word to me

3:55 am

hurshy

hiya.

3:55 am

Haz1558

Since it accepts the adjective, you'd think the comparative should work.

3:55 am

hurshy

and i'm sure i've heard people use it.

3:56 am

tfgrrl

Like the cake needs to be eggier?

3:56 am

FMitch

Ther are some great p words today

3:57 am

hurshy

or this french toast is eggier than i like

3:57 am

FMitch

lol

3:57 am

tfgrrl

There are lots of real words enable doesn't allow

3:57 am

Haz1558

tfgirl, can you make your photo icon smaller? It's because it's so big that the chat log is being jerky and not scrolling normally. I haven't the smallest clue how to do it, mind you.

3:58 am

hurshy

that's weird, haz, it's not doing that for me, it's the size of everyone else's

3:58 am

tfgrrl

Or maybe you shouldn't eggier on? Heheh

3:59 am

Haz1558

Maybe babble is just being strange for me today. I had to log on - haven't had to log on for ages, especially weird since I hadn't logged off.

4:00 am

FMitch

Think it might be you Ha

4:00 am

tfgrrl

U don't like my giant-tongued dog? The pic is same sized for me too, but I'm going to bed anyway. I'll try to crop it tomorrow

4:01 am

rubyfoo

if anybody knows the cropping site, I'd be grateful, because I haven't been able to change my icon since ata put it in for me

4:02 am

rubyfoo

and BTW, good morning everybody

4:02 am

windows or mac, ruby?

Good morning, ruby.

4:04 am

rubyfoo

hello haz

4:05 am

hurshy

ok, go into your profile and right click on the pic. choose save and save it to your desktop. open it up. it should open in microsoft picture manager. go to tools... i think tools... if not explore the menus until you find the crop tool... crop as desired. there's also resize if you just want to make it shrink. save when you're done, then go back to your profile and say you want to upload a new pic, choose the file, and presto.

4:06 am

rubyfoo

ty, hurshy, I'll try it again in a little while after I try to get a few words

4:08 am

Haz1558

hurshy, did you get your problems sorted out with the rearranging of the dates?

4:08 am

Haz1558

PHone...

4:08 am

hurshy

yeah.

4:09 am

Haz1558

That's good.

4:09 am

Haz1558

Still frustrating, though, when people make life more difficult than it needs to be.

4:10 am

hurshy

yes. but today i go to see the kiddies!

4:10 am

Haz1558

That will be fun!

4:10 am

hurshy

yes!

4:11 am

Haz1558

It's very nice when small children consider you to be wonderful.

4:11 am

Haz1558

But then, you probably think the same about them.

4:30 am

hurshy

name that proper noun! some say he sleeps upside down like a bat... all we know is... he's called

4:31 am

Haz1558

The Stig!

4:31 am

hurshy

ding ding ding!

4:31 am

Haz1558

Do you know the origin of the name?

4:32 am

hurshy

hmm... they're gits and he's the opposite?

4:32 am

Haz1558

It was the name attached to the small boys at Jeremy Clarkson's school. So when one of the big boys required something done, they'd yell for a Stig.

4:32 am

hurshy

oh bother, i've said a word

4:33 am

hurshy

ha!

4:33 am

hurshy

public school, then?

4:33 am

Haz1558

Nobody will have noticed. I take it you enjoy Top Gear?

4:33 am

Atalante

from Stig of the Dump?

4:33 am

hurshy

didn't picture jeremy as a public school boy. yes, indeed i enjoy top gear estremely.

4:33 am

Haz1558

Yes, public school. Not sure whether Stig of the Dump was the original inspiration or not.

4:34 am

Atalante

very very public school. his accent gives it away

4:34 am

Haz1558

It's funny, I'm not into cars at all, but I do watch Top Gear and enjoy it. But James May has been needing a hair cut for years.

4:34 am

hurshy

james haircut yes. is he or is he not actually gay?

4:35 am

lynxxx

don't reckon

4:35 am

KatieMcG

not that I know of

4:35 am

Haz1558

No idea. I'd imagine he'd be better groomed.

4:35 am

hurshy

they're always joking about it

4:35 am

Haz1558

Oh look, more peole! Hello, lynxx and Katie.

4:36 am

hurshy

i suppose if he were they might not.

4:36 am

lynxxx

Hi

4:36 am

Haz1558

*people

4:36 am

KatieMcG

according to wiki he lives with his partner sarah and a cat so can't be a bad person!!

4:36 am

KatieMcG

Morning everyone

4:36 am

lynxxx

oh Hursh - how the little angel has grown!

4:37 am

hurshy

sarah and a cat. that sounds nice.

4:37 am

Haz1558

Oh well, if he's got a cat and a Sarah, he can't be bad. You'd think Sarah could shear that mop while he was sleeping.

4:37 am

hurshy

it IS a wonder any woman will put up with it

4:38 am

Haz1558

James May has done series separately about toys of yesteryear and about inventions etc. I think he's a very good communicator but decidedly in need of a haircut.

4:38 am

lynxxx

Was watching an nold show with him in it the other day, looked rather ordinary with a neat haircut though

4:39 am

hurshy

i love hammond. and oliver.

4:39 am

lynxxx

nold = old

4:39 am

Haz1558

Of course, we haven't seen what Sarah looks like. She might be ripe for a makeover as well.

4:39 am

Atalante

it's his trademark now

4:40 am

Haz1558

He could get another trademark. He could wear a bow tie.

4:40 am

Haz1558

Or a bowler hat.

4:40 am

hurshy

speaking of trademarks!

4:40 am

Haz1558

I sense a proper noun coming, or a trademark...

4:41 am

herinfernallady

Hello

4:41 am

Haz1558

Hello, herin.

4:41 am

hurshy

etrade has been doing ads with a baby talking about stocks for a while and they did a superbowl one where the baby was videochatting with a girl baby and she said, "that milkaholic lindsay isn't there, is she?"

4:42 am

Haz1558

Lindsay Lohan?

4:42 am

hurshy

and lindsay lohan is suing them because, her lawyer claims, they have unfairly used her name/persona without compensating her, because she has the kind of one-name recognition of madonna or oprah.

4:43 am

lynxxx

hi Infernal

4:43 am

hurshy

if she hadn't said anything, i never would have thought to associate it with her. lindsay is a common enough name. now she's essentially declared herself a tramp and a drunk.

4:44 am

Haz1558

I'd be more upset about the implications of addictive personality.

4:44 am

herinfernallady

waves

4:44 am

Atalante

I'd be more worried about how far too sensitive she was being

4:44 am

hurshy

and to have one name recognition i think your name kind of has to be unusual. oprah might not just be called oprah if her name was linda.

4:44 am

Haz1558

LIndsay is the only well-known female that I can think of and it's pretty sad that the -oholic gave the extra clue.

4:44 am

KatieMcG

I would have known they were talking about her with the addiction reference lol

4:45 am

hurshy

the thing is, i don't know that they WERE talking about her. i think they accidentally stumbled into this.

4:45 am

Haz1558

On a completely different tack, I find those ads with talking babies or babies dancing etc to be quite creepy.

4:46 am

hurshy

i just think it's ridiculous - too sensitive and too world-revolves-around-me

4:46 am

Haz1558

Maybe she retains lawyers to be sensitve on her behalf.

baby ad - very funny

4:48 am

hurshy

exigent, erudite

4:48 am

herinfernallady

Lynxx that advert is disgusting.

4:49 am

lynxxx

oh come on Infernal it's so true! you obviously haven't been a Mum

4:49 am

Haz1558

In my experience, no 2 was signalled much more vigorously!

4:50 am

herinfernallady

No I haven't and lord forbid I want to. But exploding poo is disgusting. We don't have adverts on tv for condoms because they are offensive but it is ok for baby poo

4:51 am

Haz1558

I suppose if the condoms adverts worked, there'd be less need for exploding nappy devices.

4:51 am

hurshy

haz beat me to the joke :)

4:52 am

Haz1558

I don't know whether herin is laughing, though.

4:53 am

herinfernallady

And I agree with Haz. not laughing though.

4:53 am

Haz1558

Oh well, we'll move on to something else.

4:53 am

mummy

that ad where the boy 'wants to do a poo at Paul's house' is awful, and the previous one in that series for air freshener, I could strangle him

4:54 am

mummy

perhaps if he goes to Paul's house we will be rid of him

4:54 am

Haz1558

Anyway, I'd better go, someone's calling soon and I need to get more civilised looking. (And if I were Paul's mum, I'd tell him to get lost!)

4:54 am

rubyfoo

hello everybody, in reading over the chat, it's hilarious! They have condom ads on Frecnh TV, also the "Paul" add, but no explosing poop. Also the animated babies -- worse than poop

5:07 am

lynxxx

hi Ruby

5:08 am

rubyfoo

hi lynxx, my daffs have buds since yesterday! yay

5:08 am

rubyfoo

hi herin. Are things better today?

5:08 am

Haz1558

Back again, ae8/45 - one with taste.

5:08 am

rubyfoo

hi again haz

5:09 am

rubyfoo

lovely clue, ty

5:09 am

Haz1558

Hello! I managed to get civilised looking just in time. Friend has called and is away again.

5:09 am

hurshy

that was quick

5:09 am

rubyfoo

I'm actually dressed but still haven't cleaned up elaborate Saturday breakfast! Don't feel like it

5:09 am

lynxxx

mmm - no cup runneth over? but pr7.36 is OK

5:10 am

Haz1558

I know. The civilising was done on a very rapid timescale, I'll be more thorough before I venture out!

5:10 am

hurshy

haz do you have the other two, we have ae, ne, te mentioned.

5:10 am

Haz1558

th8 is another.

5:11 am

rubyfoo

hmm, pr7 NOT

5:11 am

Haz1558

th8/45 , an awkward age

5:11 am

Haz1558

I'm missing one 8.

5:11 am

hurshy

thanks... why the most normal of them, i miss??

5:12 am

Haz1558

Sometimes they just don't reveal themselves.

5:12 am

rubyfoo

the 60's? awkward? lol

5:13 am

hurshy

and usually we don't see the words for numbers written out, i guess.

5:13 am

lynxxx

TY Haz

5:13 am

Haz1558

Just checking through the archive, the last 8 is an uncommon pr8. (uncommon according to gremlinn)

5:14 am

hurshy

i thought it might be pr, since i need 3 p's

5:14 am

rubyfoo

still stuck on the age thing-y

5:15 am

lynxxx

seems french - builds on the levered up word - TY Grem

5:15 am

Haz1558

It's a number, ruby, signals the beginning of the crossover between childhood and adulthood. Think angst and acne.

5:16 am

rubyfoo

duh, I was looking at the wrong th!

5:16 am

hurshy

oh, i have heard that word, only i don't think it was all one word

5:16 am

rubyfoo

tks for your patience

5:16 am

hurshy

i'm sure i've seen it in dorothy sayers

5:16 am

Haz1558

No problem.

5:17 am

hurshy

thank you lynxxx

5:17 am

rubyfoo

I can't believe the pr8 isn't French and unacceptable, but thnk you

5:18 am

rubyfoo

is it what you kneel on?

5:18 am

Haz1558

It's certainly French and I'm pretty sure that it's two words normally.

5:18 am

lynxxx

apparently - but not me

5:19 am

Haz1558

It's normally hyphenated. Enable is a law unto itself, isn't it?

5:19 am

rubyfoo

I just looked it up in my petit Robert French dictionary, and it wasn't even there!

5:20 am

rubyfoo

all kinds of "prie" words, but not that one

5:20 am

lynxxx

Just really why my skin is all red and itchy on the face...my Angels Trumpet is full bloom and the perfume is heavenly at night - but hell on my skin

5:20 am

rubyfoo

I'm all rashy, too, hoping the sun will make it go away.

5:21 am

rubyfoo

now getting ready for lunch (out - TG - it's Saturday)

5:21 am

rubyfoo

see you later and haven't even reached half!

KatieMcG

wandering back in after holiday dreaming.....

5:26 am

Haz1558

Where were you dreaming about?

5:27 am

KatieMcG

Reethi Beach in the Maldives. 5 weeks 4 days (not that I'm counting)

5:27 am

Haz1558

Your poor neglected animals.

5:28 am

KatieMcG

Worse this time, Mari & Mr Mari are coming with us. Norma will be looking after the poor neglected things!!

5:28 am

Haz1558

Well, I hope you can live with your conscience.

5:29 am

KatieMcG

It's a struggle but somehow I manage

5:29 am

Haz1558

You, lapping up the luxury, them, wailing and moaning and refusing to eat out of sheer heartbreak that their owners have left them again.

5:30 am

KatieMcG

Crumble could do with losing weight! Actually I have real problems on the first couple of days we can't discuss them as I worry, then I get in to the holiday and forget lol

5:30 am

lynxxx

callous!

5:31 am

Haz1558

I'm shocked. Are you shocked, lynxxx?

5:31 am

Haz1558

That she could profess to love them and yet forget. It's shocking.

5:31 am

KatieMcG

it makes them appreciate us all the more (obviously after the sulking has finished). I would also like to point out Mari has 2 abandoned cats as well!!

5:32 am

Haz1558

So there are herds of abandoned cats when you go away?

5:33 am

KatieMcG

Usually we look after each others but as we are away together this time we have recruited lovely people to help us out

5:34 am

Haz1558

Fair enough, I won't say a word against Norma, who is a babbler of unblemished repute.

5:34 am

KatieMcG

we are doing a pre-thankyou meal at Easter, I know my brats can we work lol

Good morning, bojazz.

You're here early today?

5:36 am

*Babblers - sorry, it's early

5:36 am

KatieMcG

morning arms & bojazz

5:36 am

lynxxx

hi Arms & Bojazz

5:36 am

bojazz

actually a little late for me

5:36 am

arms

hi lynx

5:37 am

bojazz

anyone have list?

5:37 am

Haz1558

You'll find one in gremlinn's profile, not sure if any others have been posted.

5:37 am

lynxxx

Gremlin does

5:38 am

KatieMcG

did you watch comic relief last night Haz?

5:38 am

bojazz

how's everyone? fine, i pray

5:38 am

Haz1558

I watched some of it, Katie, I actually prefer it to comic relief.

5:39 am

Haz1558

I'm well, bojazz, thanks.

5:39 am

KatieMcG

sorry yes I meant sports relief. I said the same last night it is the best one, usually I give money and don't watch, last night I gave money and watched a lot of it

5:40 am

bojazz

thx lynxx

5:40 am

bojazz

& Haz

5:40 am

KatieMcG

I missed Match of the Day does Masterchef which was a shame as I believe that garlic was missed out of the garlic bread which would have been an entertaining watch. Â£29m is very impressive

5:40 am

Haz1558

I don't know what it is, just more fun and less hype.

5:41 am

Haz1558

The Masterchef sketch was good - Mark Lawrenson forgot to put the garlic in. Alan Hanson won with sausage, mash and remarkably burnt onions.

5:42 am

KatieMcG

I think it is because people are pushing the limits of what they can do rather than trying to be funny. I must look up Masterchef on iplayer

5:43 am

Haz1558

Yes, the Olympian Choir with Gareth Malone was good. They were working out of their comfort zone but took it seriously and sounded .... if not professional, acceptable considering that they had so little time to rehearse.

5:43 am

KatieMcG

I did sob copious amounts during the Chris Moyles appeal (both times it was shown) but again I think it was because there was nothing staged about it, and he is not the sort who would be comfortable crying on air

5:44 am

Haz1558

I missed that one.

5:44 am

KatieMcG

wasn't that gymnast a great singer. It was so funny when Gareth met him, that relief wasn't faked

5:44 am

Haz1558

I know! Both husband and I declared 'He can sing!'

5:45 am

Haz1558

And Lee Pearson acquitted himself well (Paralympic equestrian)

5:46 am

KatieMcG

He was the surprise of the performance he had a lovely voice

5:47 am

Haz1558

I think he was surprised himself!

5:50 am

KatieMcG

i'm off for some breakfast, see you all later

5:50 am

Haz1558

OKay, time I was getting ready to do the dreaded food shopping. See you later. Bye for now.

9:13 am

redturtlehead

Annie, how is your friend in the rehab doing?

9:13 am

Pinikula

"special" work?

9:13 am

herinfernallady

Yes Rep It's called Lickety has a life. He has a wife and 2 kids and his list is not a right it is a preverlage. Sorry to sound rude.

9:14 am

Anniebrook

red, she is walking gingerly on the affected leg..doing much better..thanks for asking

9:14 am

reparteena

Maybe so herin, but we do pay him to play!

9:14 am

redturtlehead

repar, we dont actually pay Lickety at all.

9:14 am

redturtlehead

Dr God and lickety are two different people.

9:14 am

Pinikula

we don't pay lickety to play (for life), we pay Dr. God

9:14 am

redturtlehead

good news annie.

9:14 am

Dippnall

well said herin!

9:14 am

Pinikula

lickety is a "bonus" :)

9:14 am

redturtlehead

I am so glad shes up and moving now.

9:15 am

Mubner

Morning all, I found a list under Babblers Anon

9:15 am

herinfernallady

Sorry it is one of my sore points. LIckety did have it on auto but the programming had a spaz

9:15 am

Anniebrook

red, so is she.

9:15 am

car.eeyore

Pini...please may I have a clue for that N word?

9:15 am

Dippnall

tither

9:15 am

Dippnall

aaargh!

9:15 am

car.eeyore

I think it may have to do with the dead or underworld...?

9:16 am

hi all

sistah...think ancient egyptian goddess...(adjust accordingly)

9:16 am

Hi TO!

9:16 am

herinfernallady

I need a warning sticker today '"Beware Queen Bitchy Pants are on '' So sorry

9:16 am

herinfernallady

HI TO

9:16 am

Anniebrook

hi dippnall..off to the pb for you where all the goodies are

9:16 am

Anniebrook

Hi Owl

9:16 am

Tanja

LIckety is a bonus and I am thankful for any and all time he gives......... just as I am for any player that contributes clues,lists and hints and so should we all be for those that share - THANKYOU - I could not achieve without you

9:16 am

Pinikula

or...wait....let me look it up to be sure I'm on the right clue page!

9:16 am

reparteena

I know however this isnt explained in any form, so I think I am not the only one to think the list goes hand in hand. Maybe Dr god should take this under consideration. Aside from that it was only a question. This is why I refrain from doing any chatting at all.

9:17 am

redturtlehead

I think Repartena may not have been aware that Lickety is not Dr God. And I think we can all understand the confusion.

9:17 am

Dippnall

calling from pb - lunch is great in here!

9:17 am

smooth_pappa

thanks mubnar!

9:17 am

herinfernallady

As I said sorry if I seemed rude.

9:17 am

Pinikula

* tries to find old gold statue in PB to hand Tanja as award *

9:17 am

herinfernallady

everyone has been copping my shirty tude today

9:17 am

redturtlehead

Herin, not to be rude, but you did seem rather rude.

9:17 am

reparteena

I was aware however I was under the impression that it was part of the game.

9:17 am

Tanja

lol

9:18 am

car.eeyore

Well Herin...just take off your shirt then! Tee hee!

9:18 am

herinfernallady

Yes I was that is way I said sorry

9:18 am

Takuma Sato

ribaldry!

9:18 am

redturtlehead

In the case of Lickety Repar, its not really part of the game.

9:18 am

Anniebrook

mrp (lickety's wife) once explained that lickety started doing a list because she was taking too long to do the grid and he wanted to help. Hence the list. Lickety is not paid. He is a rare babbler.

9:18 am

reparteena

TU

9:19 am

redturtlehead

Repar, I like to see you and Met, so I hope you wont stop chatting when I am around.

9:19 am

72 Temple Owl

is anyone else i theme today?

9:19 am

Tanja

thats cool Herin - actually it isi nice to know someone else can be as grumpy as me at times - makes me feel not so bad lol

9:19 am

smooth_pappa

takuma: that is a word that definitely needs to get used more in day to day life. :)

9:19 am

herinfernallady

I have been unwell

9:19 am

car.eeyore

Pini...I am only coming up with Nefertiti and I can't make it work!!!!

Pinikula

that's how I got it, sistah...change the F sound!

9:20 am

redturtlehead

herin I hope you feel better.

9:20 am

Takuma Sato

I think that word needs to describe more of day to day life

9:20 am

Pinikula

sorry to here, herin....hope you feel better soon!

9:20 am

herinfernallady

Lots of sleep

9:20 am

car.eeyore

9:21 am

smooth_pappa

9:21 am

Pinikula

add **** of passage

9:21 am

car.eeyore

Duh! TY Sistah!

9:21 am

redturtlehead

I think it has to do with the kidneys? maybe best to just look it up.

9:21 am

Pinikula

oh, and it has something to do with "mineralogy"

9:22 am

redturtlehead

a compact or fibrous variety of actinolite, varying from whitish to dark green: a form of jade.

9:22 am

Pinikula

^5 sistah ;)

9:22 am

redturtlehead

9:23 am

herinfernallady

I need to get my but moving

9:24 am

Pinikula

Pini wishes Red a good run - but will watch from the comfort of her bed this morning while she "relaxes" (and perhaps goes back to sleep)

9:24 am

72 Temple Owl

hmm think i will return later to finish

9:24 am

car.eeyore

What is nbs?

9:24 am

Pinikula

CadFan

I have one just two years past that - she's ugh.... sometimes

9:47 am

hillary

literally 'under laughter' or not quite laughing

9:48 am

Uneaixoise

my one and only baby girl is about to be out of school and gainfully employed full time -- wahoo!

9:48 am

stidmama

9:48 am

Uneaixoise

(with 2 master's degrees under her belt)

9:48 am

ah cadfan, I feel your pain! ((hugs)) but it's also such a great age of discovery (at least that is what I keep telling myself)

9:49 am

CadFan

She's great sometimes too - a beautiful girl with many friends and many talents

9:49 am

stidmama

9:49 am

Uneaixoise

9:50 am

Anniebrook

9:50 am

Haz1558

Good morning/afternoon all.

9:50 am

Uneaixoise

yay, annie!

9:51 am

Uneaixoise

hey, haz!

9:51 am

Anniebrook

pr8---pr5 and 2 vowels

9:51 am

stidmama

hello Haz! how has the first day of spring been for you?

9:51 am

CadFan

pr8 makes a circle from the start through vowels - adds a consonant near the left corner and back up to the start

9:51 am

Anniebrook

Good afternoon, Haz

9:51 am

Uneaixoise

(pr5 and 3 vowels)

9:51 am

Anniebrook

pr8---pr5 and 3 I mean 3 vowels

9:51 am

Haz1558

Hello! It's definitely getting warmer. I've been out shopping without a coat. Everything is still very late, no sign of daffodils yet.

9:52 am

Uneaixoise

:-D

9:52 am

Uneaixoise

haz, I have a yard full of daffodils! :-)

9:52 am

hillary

sorry to be thick but which of the many pr5s?

9:52 am

stidmama

well, I would rather a bit late, myself. I worry every morning I wake up and see frost on the peach and pear blossoms.

9:52 am

Uneaixoise

pr5/14

9:52 am

CadFan

My tulips are starting to come up in thick bunches - still a bit until they bloom though

9:53 am

stidmama

hillary, the pr5 that is "pulled up" word past tense

9:53 am

Haz1558

They'll come eventually, but we had such an extended period of freezing weather that I don't blame them for being slow to show their faces.

9:53 am

Anniebrook

hillary, pr 8 is a piece of furniture to kneel upon

9:53 am

Uneaixoise

stid, we usually have a late frost that has me panicking but this year maybe not . . .

9:53 am

hillary

got it thanks

9:53 am

stidmama

I think ALL of my tulips were eaten, not just the beautiful ones by the front door. I am just fit to be ti4!

9:53 am

hillary

another french word!

9:53 am

CadFan

6 inches of snow here yseterday - not a cloud in the sky and sunny today

9:53 am

Uneaixoise

i can't plant tulips -- the squirrels and chipmunks dig them up :-(

9:54 am

CadFan

Stid - do you have deer in your area - is that what eats them?

9:54 am

stidmama

tulips did fine for me for ten years. oh well. maybe it just took them that long to find them

9:54 am

Uneaixoise

:-D

9:54 am

stidmama

deer, raccoons, chipmunks, red squirrels (no gray squirrels yet)

9:55 am

Uneaixoise

ok, 80 to go and taking a break to walk pups . . . later! *poof*

9:55 am

stidmama

9:55 am

Anniebrook

9:55 am

herinfernallady

2 more weeks to go then I can have sanity

9:55 am

CadFan

Wow- the squirrels don't touch them here - but I think perhaps we set them too deep?

9:56 am

stidmama

I will buy more bulbs in the fall and plant in cages, but that won't help anything if the critters nibble all the green down (again).

9:56 am

stidmama

you can do it, lady. I have one more week of vacation, and looking foward to sleeping in after tomorrow.

9:57 am

stidmama

Haz1558

It is - where have you been?

10:18 am

sandr

in everyday just havent got long enough to play and chat

10:18 am

Haz1558

That's probably true of the majority of people these days. Do you still follow chat but just in silent observation mode?

10:20 am

sandr

mostly alot of the people i dont really know these days only the likes of you,peri,herin etc

10:20 am

Haz1558

Otherwise known as the oldtimers....

10:22 am

rururocks

what is considered an old timer?

10:22 am

sandr

its only been 4/5 years cant remember when exactly i started

10:22 am

Haz1558

I think when you've been here more than 2 or 3 years.

10:23 am

sandr

im suprised we have'nt run out of grids yet!!!

10:23 am

Haz1558

He could serve up some from a few years back and we wouldn't know any different.

10:23 am

10:25 am

rururocks

I think I am still in the minor leagues here

You nearly jumped ship, ruru. Remember the New Year resolution?

10:26 am

rururocks

10:26 am

Haz1558

Are you feeling better, TO, I saw you were having sinus problems?

10:27 am

Haz1558

It was quite funny. You had everyone giving you fond farewells, people pleading with you not to go, and then - I'm back! Two days and you'd had enough of no babble.

10:27 am

sandr

10:31 am

bojazz

does the es7 build off the es5?

10:31 am

redturtlehead

Her article has no comments, and I'd lover her to get some! thanks Haz. Its very short.

10:31 am

Haz1558

Dryer filters - the sort of shopping that fills you with excitement.

10:31 am

10:32 am

periwinkle

beautiful day here!!

10:33 am

72 Temple Owl

also to do research for car shopping

10:33 am

72 Temple Owl

which i dread

10:33 am

periwinkle

are you lookin for a new car Owl

10:33 am

periwinkle

I will be looking for a newer car in a few weeks

10:34 am

bojazz

thx Haz

10:34 am

72 Temple Owl

yes, peri. but likely pre owned

10:34 am

bojazz

hi red - off to read...

10:34 am

Haz1558

You're welcome, bojazz.

10:34 am

periwinkle

I need to do research too. thinking of a hyundai elantra or Honda fit

10:34 am

periwinkle

I am looking into pre-owned as well

10:34 am

72 Temple Owl

love the elantra also the kia forte in that size/price range

10:35 am

periwinkle

how old is your current car, Owl? My corolla is 18!!

10:35 am

72 Temple Owl

peri, i will go to the car broker i mentioned to you, never a dealer

10:35 am

72 Temple Owl

my car is 8 years old in the fall

10:35 am

sandr

dont you have something like exchange and mart like we do over here TO

10:35 am

periwinkle

what is the name of the car broker again, pls?

10:36 am

72 Temple Owl

i don't know what that is, sandr. the broker only deals in cars no more than three years old, off lease, promo or program cars.

10:37 am

72 Temple Owl

with warranty remaining.

10:37 am

bojazz

red - i must be reading the site wrong, can't get it

10:37 am

sandr

its an internet mag over here now that people place there old cars in to sell so they can buy a new 1

10:38 am

72 Temple Owl

sandr, we do. i have a honda accord, no problem selling

10:38 am

72 Temple Owl

will sell at work

10:38 am

Haz1558

The thing about buying from people you don't know is that you really need to know about cars etc. and when you don't, it's good to find a dealership you can trust.

10:38 am

periwinkle

why are you getting rid of your car, Owl?

10:39 am

sandr

true haz or you pay a mechanic a few pounds to come with you so you arnt conned

10:39 am

72 Temple Owl

because it is time

10:39 am

72 Temple Owl

while i am still wokring

10:39 am

10:40 am

10:40 am

periwinkle

going to do some earrands, bbl

10:41 am

72 Temple Owl

peri, no financing. works by referral only. suggest you check the price of 2 year old car in model you want and plan on paying wholesle.. he won't buy older than that

10:41 am

redturtlehead

http://stliving.com/?p=1573 here is a repeat link for Bojazz.....

72 Temple Owl

peri they won't take you unless you are referred to them

10:41 am

72 Temple Owl

10:41 am

1:13 pm

PAV3

I think I may have shared this past Dec for my friend's son's 15th BD on the 23rd Dec, I told him I 'd show him how to make a trifle...he went around telling his friends I was going to show him how to make truffles...

1:15 pm

PAV3

mole' is traditionally made with choc, yes.

1:15 pm

rubyfoo

I'd rather have trifle!

1:16 pm

rubyfoo

but you can never tell people what's in it, or they start to taste it too much. Otherwise it just makes the sauce lovely, rich and shiny

ty, ty, ty -- I knew there must be a reason I studied french instead of latin!

2:04 pm

cybernan

It is a dead language that won't die, it seems!

2:04 pm

PAV3

and I've always wanted to learn French instead of the Latin I did have...

2:04 pm

PAV3

I figured with Latin I could learn more

2:05 pm

cybernan

Living in Canada, French is an automatic choice for a 2nd language -- I think it should be compulsory

5:21 pm

fuquayvarina

we've been playing together since I was in high school. it used to be very competitive, but I have to pull my punches now or I win all the time.

5:22 pm

Scrabbler

Spring has arrived so my last day of cross-country skiing was March 10th. I am hiking a lot--did 1 hr today through the park--and waiting for it to warm up so we can kayak. I also played tennis doubles today for almost 2 hrs.

5:22 pm

fuquayvarina

you are an inspiration!

5:23 pm

Scrabbler

Hey, I have chosen to be single + childless so that I can do what I want--be active, especially outside in nature.

5:28 pm

crosshair

5:28 pm

Prednisone will make you puffy (water retention) and eat a lot, and perhaps irritable.

5:28 pm

stidmama

okie dokie, cross. but I will look for bacon tea, just in case.

5:28 pm

crosshair

5:31 pm

stidmama

5:31 pm

redturtlehead

i rather enjoyed my last course of them for my ankle. would not mind one more course.

5:32 pm

6:04 pm

hey Min! well done!

6:11 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I have 162 words and 2152 points. Is there a way to compare progress, or is it all or nothing -fireworks oriented?

6:11 pm

crosshair

i take the lipton base,add extra stock and dice up a skinless chicken breast i did up yesterday

6:12 pm

o-o

I often have wondered what caused chicken soup to be so cowardly

6:12 pm

stidmama

when the puzzle ends, Kaplan, the archives tell who got how many words (and you can see which words they found, too)

6:12 pm

crosshair

as you get your babble time in,getting the fireworks becomes less of a dire thing

6:13 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Yeah, it just becomes a place to hang out and learn weird new words

6:13 pm

stidmama

I think Tom is talking to one of his parentals... that tone of voice only happens with his family... *grin* he enjoys the "argument" though!

6:13 pm

stidmama

CROSS!!! *stern mama look* PB! (but leave the soup, please)

6:13 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Who is Tom?

6:14 pm

Tom is my long-suffering, wonderful spouse, Kaplan

6:14 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I have one of those. He's making dinner.

6:14 pm

redturtlehead

Kaplan there are the rankings, you can see progress there of course. I never feel that competitive about this.

6:15 pm

stidmama

:-D it's nice to have one, isn't it? I highly recommend all Babblers acquire one...

6:15 pm

stidmama

yep. it's his mother... *sigh* she can really get him riled up sometimes.

6:15 pm

stidmama

I think soup will be on our menu tonight.

6:15 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Wordsplay is very competitive, and there are teams

6:15 pm

stidmama

I am only competitive with feather and pini. and sprite, but Sprite always wins against me! LOL

6:15 pm

hillary

I have 31 to go and I can't believe there isn't a word meaning containing more egg than something else. It's a word in OUR house, Babble!

I have fooled my whole family into thinking I don't know how to cook- for 20 years. Unfortunately, I did forget how to cook in the process.

Kaplan the Magne

Huscook.

6:20 pm

java2

In fact, my huscook has just finished and I'm off for pork chops and broccoli...til later...

6:20 pm

hillary

The problem is that the word for the noun 'smile' is 'souris' which also means 'mouse'...

6:20 pm

stidmama

I still cook -- I like soups/stews, sauces and stir fries; the occasional fancy dessert... but full-fledged meals are beyond me these days

6:20 pm

stidmama

mmmmm. enjoy, java!

6:21 pm

stidmama

I knew that souris meant mouse, didn't know it was also smile. *considers the implications* are mice funny?

6:22 pm

stidmama

ah, the elder stidkid is home from his bike ride. A good way to celebrate the first day of spring.

6:26 pm

6:26 pm

re5/14 is to put the sails up again...re6/24 is the third person singular of same

6:26 pm

6:28 pm

Does anyone think that there is the possibility that we will get Lickety's clues for today? Thanks

6:37 pm

mummy

just had sis & hubbIe dOwn for dinner, went out to kitchen to get desert &~ cat is sitting there with mouse beside hiM. by the time I said to Hubby 'there is a mouse in the kitchen' it had disappeared. Gone under the cooker. took the kick boards off and with the aid of a broom ( the cat is watching all this) the mouse was deaded by the broom handle, hubbie threw it over the next door fence. half an hour later cat brings back dead mouse and lays it at the door as if to say 'look what I caught - arent i clever? He is in the dog house now!

6:37 pm

reading back red,completion is not valuable,babble has become a wealth of knowledge for me,a place where i can exchange ideas,thoughts,concerns and to ask advice

he is just getting us back for putting him in the cattery for three weeks when we went to Australia!

6:40 pm

mummy, too funny....cat may be a bit peeved. DOgs seem to like kennels better than cats like being uprooted.

6:40 pm

gapeach

See, he knows revenge is sweet.

6:41 pm

redturtlehead

down to 20. sooooo slow like molasses.

6:41 pm

mummy

Now he is snuggled up in hubby's arms like butter wouldn't melt. I take second place to the animal.

6:41 pm

redturtlehead

Cross, caught your comment and I agree. SOMetimes I like to complete, but when I can not I dont get too riled up anymore.

6:42 pm

redturtlehead

At one point though there was a babbler whom I found annoying, and truthfully I completed every day for about 6 months to beat that babbler. then I gave it up and that babbler no longer annoys me either.

6:42 pm

mummy

I wouldn't mind so much but I was the one who wanted the cat and he takes precedence over me as hubbie is his favourite

6:43 pm

gapeach

Does anyone think Lickety will be able to clue today? It just isn't any fun without his list.

6:43 pm

redturtlehead

Mummy, get a second cat. My mother had a similar thing happen with one of the cats, she loves my dad. eve follows him into the woods and sits and watches him work.

6:43 pm

redturtlehead

Gapeach, I dont think lickety will clue today as the day is pretty much done in Austrailia.

6:44 pm

gapeach

OK, thanks, red.

6:46 pm

Just1Mar

I just posted the list in my profile, that I had copied from someone who finished about an hour after flip

6:46 pm

mummy

NO, onecat is enough, the Cats Protection lady didn't want us to have him as he was feral but we persuaded her. I wanted to have one of his sisters too but hubby said no, one is enough.

6:47 pm

redturtlehead

ah well, you will have to be second to the kitty then...

6:47 pm

jan

Wow--an hour after the flip! I've been pecking away on and off for hours and still have seven to go--and I thought that was good going!

7:06 pm

its a fairly nice grid up to the end...where I am at.

7:06 pm

mummy

sorry, pressed enter before I had typed in proper. Fortunately I am able to control my migraines by taking paracetamol when I feel the first symptons, ie tingling fingers and blurred vision. I have seldom had to revert to stronger meds, such as migrelieve prescribed by the Gp.My mum suffered severely but mine don't seem so bad.

7:07 pm

Dorens

yes me. when there's no lickety it can take me forever.. can't line up my words with other people's lists. 86 to go can take me two hours!

Minveryork

I feel there is a di 4/5 ne 4/5 for me to do a story of clues so he4/5 it is. Was hi5/14 as a teacher in 1998 There are advantages & disadvantages to teaching. Teachers have to ex 5/20 a lot of energy with their students.Teachers come across all different kinds of students. Some students are ne 4/5s and others are not.There can be cliques between te4/4agers which can causes ri 5/16 between students.Some students do not always gr5/14 teachers with respect, others do.It hi4/5 me hard when students are disrespectful Students hu 4/6 for what makes you tick and play on that. Sometimes fights er 5/14 in the classroom and students get hu 4/6. Students can be ir4/5 by other students. Sometimes students ex 4/9 the classroom without permission. Some students are just pr 5/16 and can ga4/6 you w/their behavior. Some students gr5/16 when assigned homework.However,Some are are so pu 4/6 & innocent. Some students are pu5/14 than other students.In addition to different kinds of students, there are also different kinds of teachers. Some teachers are so bad they getfi 5/18. However, it is hard to get fi 5/18 if you have te 6/21 or are te 7/36. Some teachers havetr 5/12 teaching&decided it was not for them.Some teachers become ti5/12 of teaching.Some teachers are ti 7/32 than others and burn out. Other teachers have a special gi 4/9 to be teachers. Some can teach for ag 4/6 and never burn out. All in all, I ag5/14 with other teachers that it is a very rewarding profession, that much is tr 4/5. I'd ur4/7 any young person to become a teacher.I hope you have pr 5/14 some words out of my clues. Now I am ti 5/12 and must get ready for bed. Bye babblers!

Hi Jacula

I think I might know why Lickety wasn't around today. I saw MrP on FB and she's had a nasty accident. She was getting the chickens in and walking on a wobbly plank when a flapping chicken startled her and she fell off the plank. Has broken her left fibula (calf bone) and her right ankle.

9:21 pm

Une - I know. I was horrified when I read her message on FB.

9:24 pm

Riverdance

hope the tibia wasnt involved = those combo tib/fib fractures are the worst

9:25 pm

Jacula

Momn - she only mentioned fibula. Let's hope her leg bones are in better shape than her arm bone.

9:26 pm

periwinkle

ouch, that is terrible news about mrp

9:28 pm

Jacula

Here's part of what MrP said on FB. I don't suppose she'll mind me quoting. Hope not anyway! "Sucks! Fractured the left fibular just below the knee and the right ankle has nasty ligamental damage to top it all off. "

9:29 pm

Tanja

ouch - ankle is bad - currently have dd with broken ankle - had to be pinned and plated whch menat ten days in hospital whilst waiting for the swelling to go down - then an infection which meant another two weeks in hospital then another 2 weeks and only just aloowed on crutches sovery nasty and hugs and good htoughts to them

10:10 pm

Jacula

Ah, well you do know what I mean then Momn.

10:11 pm

Jacula

Momn - do you cook yours on the hob in water or in the oven, tightly covered after browning it?

10:13 pm

Riverdance

In the oven - tightly covered in aluminum foil

10:13 pm

Jacula

I can't use the slow cooker (electric hotpot) 'cos the joint's too big for it. Will use the oven and foil.

10:13 pm

MPittore

oh oh...need pr8/55 pls

10:13 pm

Jacula

Ah, we think alike.

10:14 pm

Riverdance

My pressure cooker and crock pot are also too small. The oven works just fine. Low temp for a long time.

10:15 pm

Riverdance

Time for bed - enjoy your brisket and thanks for the help. Maybe see you all tomorrow. Night all!

10:15 pm

Jacula
