if you can have da 7, why not ba 7?

12:15 am

gremlinn

I tried ba7 early on but didn't think to try da7

12:15 am

MLFAN17

grem is the DA 7 a word we should know?

12:15 am

gremlinn

probably

12:15 am

sammysmom

cybernan

yes it was -- wish I could see it!

12:16 am

flosey

there is a ba7, didn't call it, figured someone else would have

12:17 am

sammysmom

no flosey, but we think there should be

12:18 am

flosey

sorry, didn't realize it wasn't accepted! should check

12:18 am

gremlinn

da7 x 2

12:18 am

flosey

the ba7 sounds more reasonable than the da7

12:18 am

harpjane

that's what i think too flosey

12:19 am

MLFAN17

the IN 7 that was should that be a 6/7, if not i am calling In 6/7 :)

12:19 am

gremlinn

I called in7 and it was a 6/7

12:19 am

gremlinn

but there are too many 6s to bother calling them, unless they are neat words

12:20 am

MLFAN17

i knew it was called grem just making sure we didnt have two butit is supposed to be 6/7

12:20 am

MLFAN17

Which DA for the DA 7?

12:20 am

cybernan

does the 2nd da 7 begin the same?

12:20 am

gremlinn

there could be another in7 - still missing one 7

12:20 am

gremlinn

no, nan

12:20 am

gremlinn

it's a da 6/7

12:21 am

MLFAN17

grem which DA do we use?

12:21 am

gremlinn

1:08 am

herinfernallady

helo?

1:09 am

gremlinn

no problem

1:10 am

gremlinn

There seemed to be a lot of annoying, uncommon 4s in this one.

1:10 am

gremlinn

The 6s and 7s were interesting.

1:10 am

Hey. I am watching Cooking in the Danger Zone
Chernobyl on a farm 15k from Chernobyl. You just can't so no to Baba and her cooking

1:22 am

rubyfoo

good morning everybody! Winer is back! Cold and raining; I'm jumping in draped in a shawl and many layers of clothes!

1:22 am

rubyfoo

interestingly, the wild mushrooms here in the Alps were badly contaminated by the Chernobyl explosion!

1:24 am

herinfernallady

Hi Ruby.

1:25 am

herinfernallady

Ruby it wasn't a neat exclusion zone. A lot of mostly elderly people have returned to the exclusion zone

1:25 am

melonheadjujube

hi, herinfernal, and everyone else. what am I doing up at this hour???

1:26 am

herinfernallady

Ruby Mushies suck up the radioactive particles

1:26 am

rubyfoo

locals are still afraid to eat the wild mushrooms here (and in the stores, many of them come from eastern Europe anyway)

1:26 am

rubyfoo

yp

1:26 am

rubyfoo

yup*

1:27 am

herinfernallady

Yes.

1:28 am

herinfernallady

Hi MElon

1:28 am

herinfernallady

MElon your kitty looks rather pissy

1:33 am

flosey

must get to bed, it's been a long day, good night all, be back sometime tomorrow

1:33 am

rubyfoo

hi and bye flosey, see you tomorrow

1:35 am

herinfernallady

Ruby I don't really remember it I was young when it happened

1:36 am

melonheadjujube

NBT

1:36 am

rubyfoo

I used to live not far from Three Mile Island, but nobody made a big deal at the time. Cherobyl I barely remember, but when I moved to France, people were still worried about it, evidently the radiation swatch went right over these mountains

1:37 am

rubyfoo

swath*

1:38 am

herinfernallady

It does frighten me

1:39 am

rubyfoo

unfortunately, everything frightens me! lol?

1:46 am

herinfernallady

Ruby I was just looking at statistics. In Chernobyl was approximately 400 times more potent than the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima This is atomic rubbish. IN the Vic bush fires last year the energy of the fires produced 1500 times was released

1:48 am

rubyfoo

I think it is very hard to trust what we read in the papers. Frequently, I think local wisdom is better. When a local farmer says don't eat the mushrooms from "our" woods more than once a week, he is probably correct

1:51 am

herinfernallady

Ruby this is all scientific calulations

1:51 am

rubyfoo

that is very scary about the fires in Australia; I had no idea of the extent! Were you affected?

1:53 am

rubyfoo

yay! half

1:53 am

herinfernallady

No I wasn't as I live in the city. My cousin fought the fires and his old house was raised to the ground

1:54 am

rubyfoo

that is horrible. Was he able to save family treasures, photos and such? I always wonder what I would save in a fire.... I think dogs first, one statue next and then photographs

1:56 am

herinfernallady

They didn't live there. My parents have all there photo's and important papers in one spot

1:57 am

rubyfoo

that's very smart, keeping all the important stuff together. I need to think about that

1:58 am

herinfernallady

I grew up in the hills so we are used to having a plan

1:59 am

rubyfoo

were there a lot of animals where you grew up?

2:01 am

herinfernallady

Not really we had 2 dogs and a cat and fish

2:01 am

rubyfoo

is this one of those "breaks"?

2:01 am

rubyfoo

is this one of those "breaks"?

2:02 am

herinfernallady

yes

2:03 am

rubyfoo

I meant wild ones roaming (or croawling!) thrugh the garden

2:04 am

herinfernallady

Spiders, goannas, lizards

2:04 am

herinfernallady

birds

2:04 am

rubyfoo

big lizards?

2:05 am

herinfernallady

yes

2:06 am

rubyfoo

I think of Australia as having fabulous, but sometimes scary, wildlife. In France, there are very few edible animals left, except in the mountains. We don't even have squirrels, have only seen two (and I think it was the same one twice) in 11 years.

2:06 am

rubyfoo

No rabbits or deer because they ate them all.

2:06 am

herinfernallady

wow.

2:07 am

rubyfoo

We do, however, have foxes in the field above the house and there are vipers around although I've never seen one

2:07 am

rubyfoo

no other poisonous things, though

2:07 am

rubyfoo

and we have beautiful spiders!

2:07 am

rubyfoo

and many tiny drab lizards

2:07 am

herinfernallady

Ruby I love Orb weavers

2:08 am

rubyfoo

oh, and lovely small black bats that live in the cliff above us

2:08 am

rubyfoo

don't tell anybody, but there is a kind of beautiful spider, many -colored, that I feed. She is an argiope and I call her Caliope!

2:09 am

rubyfoo

I've learned how to catch flies without killing them

2:11 am

All flavors--pomegranate, peppermint, green tea....regular pekoe now.

5:51 am

Scrabbler

I decided to lower my caffeine intake to see if my migraine frequency would decrease.

5:52 am

Aloyisius

sounds great, more of a variety than with coffee. Ah, my daughter also has migraines and does not drink coffee, says it helps

5:52 am

Scrabbler

ea4 was not so ea4 for me to see it---evidence that I am still not fully conscious.

5:53 am

6:03 am

rubyfoo

strange word, but thanks, aloy!

6:03 am

Scrabbler

In Star Wars there was the Da6 planet or galaxy.

6:03 am

Scrabbler

Ruby, it can abort them but if one does not maintain the same intake it can lead to more migraines.

6:03 am

Aloyisius

hi ruby.. no, it seems that caffeine is good for regular headaches, but not for migraines

6:04 am

rubyfoo

this grid is OK but I can't seem to find any 7's. Any hints?

6:04 am

Scrabbler

I also want to drink more green tea--health benefits.

6:04 am

Aloyisius

da7 is the pl of the Buddhist shrine

6:04 am

rubyfoo

Oh, that's very interesting. I had migraines so long ago that they were still prescribing cafergot!

6:05 am

rubyfoo

I think I got them from birth-control pills -- oh so long ago!!!!

6:05 am

Scrabbler

Now the triptans are the most popular meds--"Imitrex", etc.

6:05 am

rubyfoo

I don't think they existed yet....

Nope--new in last 10 yrs or so.

6:22 am

Anniebrook

We had lunch in a diner yesterday. I ordered a BLT and, of course, crossy was in my thought immediately

6:22 am

Anniebrook

thoughts*

6:22 am

crosshair

indeed aloy was the old coinage term during the first 10 years.did you know that the first issue of american coins was melted directly from mrs washingtons silver service??

6:23 am

Aloyisius

wow.. no, I did not know that

6:24 am

crosshair

several examples are still in private hands and quite valuable

6:24 am

Aloyisius

do you collect coins, crossy?

6:25 am

crosshair

i do indeed,mostly canadian of course,but i have a general knowledge of U.S stuff

6:25 am

Aloyisius

numismatist? can't remember

6:25 am

crosshair

lol close enough

6:26 am

rubyfoo

6:26 am

Anniebrook

later, ruby

6:27 am

Aloyisius

we have a bunch of old coins, passed down to us from relatives who collected them, but none of our children have an interest in that hobby .. so one of these days, we will sell them

6:27 am

crosshair

be very careful selling,if they scent lack of coin smarts,the most your will get is 30% of book value

6:28 am

Aloyisius

ty for that advice crossy, I'm sure you are right

6:28 am

crosshair

there is a pricing book for U.S coins commonly called "the red book"

6:28 am

crosshair

can be had at book stores for about 7 dollars

6:29 am

Aloyisius

yes, I do know about that book.. we gave the coins to our B-I-L bc he wants to look them up in the red book

6:30 am

crosshair

cause like i say im not big on u.s coinage but i do know that some of the 1920,s sliver dollars are worth a crazy ammount of money

6:31 am

Aloyisius

holy cow, in6.27 = a meeting of S. African tribes. I knew that, lol

6:32 am

Aloyisius

brb, time for a refill

6:33 am

crosshair

i did have the fun of grading a bunch of U.S one dollar gold coins a few years back:) all were from the 1850,s and just a tad smaller than our current dimes

6:34 am

crosshair

imagine those things,back in the time when a man earned 20 cents a day for a hard days work:/

6:38 am

crosshair

and i killed the chat:(((

6:40 am

6:44 am

Aloyisius

6:46 am

Aloyisius

sorry that Martha had to lose her tea set though

6:52 am

Aloyisius

the fun doesn't end! Looked up sy4.8 to find out that it is a "cibol" which turns out to be an onion!

6:53 am

EspritdJean

that makes sense

6:53 am

EspritdJean

I think cipolla and cibolla are onion in italian and spanish

6:53 am

kje

weird

6:53 am

kje

7:12 am

kje

ty merk

7:12 am

kje

have you taken anything?

7:12 am

EspritdJean

thought you only needed to try ONE thing

7:12 am

periwinkle

took zyrtec, OTC which only helped a little, took it last night

7:12 am

Merk

yw and ty everyone ... see you tomorrow sporadically ... I can see that already.

7:12 am

Anniebrook

congrats merk and hi peri

7:13 am

kje

7:13 am

periwinkle

have prescription Allegra but don't want to take any yet

7:13 am

periwinkle

5 mg

7:14 am

kje

10mg is normal dose for an adult... you can take another now, then 10mg daily

just don't want to be drowsy when I drive

7:15 am

kje

and done

7:16 am

Mudd

Like the sy 4 ... is that considered a babblet?

7:16 am

periwinkle

yay for kje

7:16 am

kje

claritin is OTC and nonsedating, zyrtec is middle sedating, allegra is less effective than those 2 in my opinion

7:16 am

Mudd

congrats kje

7:17 am

periwinkle

ok, ty, kje

7:17 am

kje

doesn't occur frequently enough to be a true babblet

7:17 am

kje

nene is a babblet...

7:17 am

Mudd

Yes, but nene is a real word at least.

7:17 am

kje

7:59 am

redturtlehead

I have Phineas and Ferb now Hego...

7:59 am

Takuma Sato

I wasn't saying I'd rather be anywhere than here -- NH just suits me better :)

7:59 am

hego

syringes can also be a force for good.

8:00 am

redturtlehead

I did a contract in Clarmont NH, for one summer and rather enjoye dthe hikes there.

8:00 am

redturtlehead

but it was cold!

8:01 am

Takuma Sato

I think summer in NH has just about my favorite weather. I'll stop gushing now

8:01 am

Takuma Sato

Need to make some puzzle progress before I head off to work

8:07 am

rubyfoo

8:08 am

Riverdance

Hi Ruby - I got to run for a bit - bbl

8:08 am

rubyfoo

It is gorgeous and sunny and the house is wide open after a couple of grey, wet days. Spring is here, thanks to Hego

8:08 am

hego

Go Ruby!!

8:08 am

hego

Blushes modestly...

8:08 am

rubyfoo

I'm on hold with our satellite company....arrghhh!

8:09 am

hego

hate hold

8:09 am

rubyfoo

and the music loop is bad and repetitious

8:09 am

hego

It's become a way of life unfortunately, being on hold.

8:10 am

rubyfoo

annoying because we paid the bill and they're saying we haven't. and in French, to boot!

8:10 am

hego

And, the voice mail menu, motive for murder

8:11 am

hego

Oh, gosh, in French, even

8:11 am

Takuma Sato

Time for me to get to work -- good luck all!

8:11 am

hego

Bye Takuma

8:12 am

periwinkle

rain here too, seasonal allaergies and dentist appt. bah humbug!

8:12 am

rubyfoo

bye takuma-san

8:12 am

rubyfoo

poor peri!

8:12 am

hego

Now that's a bad day, Peri! :-(

8:13 am

rubyfoo

worse than being on hold; get a grip Ruby!

8:13 am

periwinkle

lots of people have it much worse than me, now worries. I will get thru the day. and hey maybe the sun will come out tomorrow

8:13 am

hego

Yes, Annie.

8:13 am

periwinkle

*no worries*

8:13 am

hego

that's the little Orphan one

8:14 am

hego

Still on hold Rubes?

8:15 am

rubyfoo

just got off. I actually think they are outsourcing their phone service; the young woman was speaking French with what sounded like a Chinese accent!

8:16 am

rubyfoo

very hard to understand, but we're sorted out

8:16 am

hego

Anythings possible.

8:16 am

rubyfoo

so, how are you, Hego?

8:16 am

hego

I'm good, Ruby. Status quo.

8:16 am

rubyfoo

I think I've hit a wall with the grid but I am so happy with the garden that I don't care!

8:17 am

hego

And that's a good thing.

8:17 am

hego

the happy gardener. :o)

8:18 am

rubyfoo

I've been "planting" moss for a few days on the raw-looking rocks around the tulips and it looks beautiful. Hard to tell if they will "take". Today I used a solution of yoghurt mixed with moss which Ruby kept trying to lick off the rocks

8:18 am

hego

sounds delicious.

8:18 am

rubyfoo

the first tulip opened today so there are hiacinths, scylla, daffodils, primroses and violets so far

8:19 am

hego

sounds lovely, Ruby

8:19 am

periwinkle

saw lots of spring floers and trees in bloom yesterday, it was lovely

8:19 am

hego

Are there any gy words?

8:19 am

periwinkle

off to do earrands, then the dentist, bbl

8:20 am

periwinkle

no hego

8:20 am

periwinkle

errands, even

8:20 am

hego

bye Peri

8:20 am

rubyfoo

and my housekeeper brought me a bouquet of pussywillow which evidently grow wild up above us. I kept them in a vase and today they are pollinating and growing roots. They're even fragrant -- who knew?

8:20 am

hego

Not me

8:21 am

rubyfoo

and the birds!!!!

8:21 am

hego

I also have great birds here.

8:22 am

rubyfoo

we don't have great birds, just a lot of them. Happily, they're all knew to me, so that's fun

8:22 am

hego

It's a very quiet area and there's a patch of woods behind me.

8:22 am

rubyfoo

new* duh

8:22 am

rubyfoo

English as a lost language

8:22 am

hego

I new what you meant. LOL

8:22 am

rubyfoo

what birds do you get?

8:23 am

hego

Mostly the normal east coast ones, Ruby

8:23 am

rubyfoo

I think New Jersey gets great birds because of its being in the eastern corridor migrational path.....

8:23 am

rubyfoo

I started learning about birds the one year I lived in Princeton

8:23 am

hego

goldfinches and blue jays and cardinals

8:24 am

inge

U=

8:24 am

rubyfoo

except for a few, most of the birds here are pretty small

8:24 am

hego

the odd turkey buzzard and red wing blackbirds now and then

8:24 am

rubyfoo

I love the way goldfinches fly and flit

8:24 am

hego

Also mostly a lot of them. robins galore

8:25 am

rubyfoo

no blue jay or cardinals here

8:25 am

rubyfoo

no robins, either

8:25 am

hego

I like them too. Some nest in the tree on my lawn

8:25 am

rubyfoo

our hedges are full of nests which I can hear but not see

8:25 am

hego

You have completely different birds then

8:26 am

rubyfoo

we've made the garden bird-friendly with a fountain/fish pond, hedges, lots of berries and a crazed husband who feeds them premium sunflower seeds 3X/day

8:26 am

hego

I like the magpies in Europe, don't have those here.

8:27 am

rubyfoo

the only ones in common are sparrows and the occasional woodpecker

8:27 am

hego

It keeps him busy anyway

8:27 am

rubyfoo

there are magpies but never on our property; I don't know why

8:27 am

rubyfoo

better than setting fires hahahah.....

8:27 am

hego

I dread hubby retiring. lol

8:28 am

hego

Yup

8:29 am

rubyfoo

this morning there was a pair of "Chardaronet Elegans" on the feeder, they have red, black and white heads, yellow and white epaulets and black and white tails. Even the beak is black and white.

8:29 am

rubyfoo

Retirement is no joke!

8:29 am

rubyfoo

the feeder is directly in front of the kitchen window and I can get a really good look without bothering the birds

8:30 am

rubyfoo

and I keep my French field guide right at hand

8:30 am

hego

The birds sound lovely, Ruby. I don't mind my retirement, it's his that makes me nervous. ;-)

8:31 am

hego

I like bird watching too.

8:31 am

rubyfoo

the best sighting, and it was only once and outside my studio (in the back) was a very big olive green (with a little red) woodpecker

8:31 am

hego

Ooooo

8:31 am

rubyfoo

I sort of miss working, but this is my first house and first garden, so that makes it OK. Also, his study is 2 floors away from my studio....

8:32 am

rubyfoo

and I keep it messy, so he doesn't bother me, except by phone

8:32 am

hego

nice arrangement

8:33 am

hego

I'm finishing the basement to make Bill a music room. So I have a plan, you see.

8:33 am

rubyfoo

very smart!

8:33 am

hego

:-)

8:33 am

rubyfoo

with its own little fridge?

8:34 am

rubyfoo

and an electric kettle?

8:34 am

hego

Not yet

8:34 am

hego

But an idea to consider for sure

8:35 am

rubyfoo

privacy is a real issue after retirement, I think, husbands tends to follow their wives around

8:35 am

hego

Oh, yes!

8:35 am

rubyfoo

I insist on certain hours to myself - selfish, but life-sustaining for me

8:36 am

hego

And we're used to having the place to ourselves

8:36 am

rubyfoo

and I was single for a very long time between marriages!

8:36 am

hego

Not selfish, sensible.

8:36 am

hego

It's the only way to coexist.

8:37 am

hego

Oooo big adjustment.

8:37 am

rubyfoo

Ruby and the garden are luring me out into the sunshine, but I hope to see you later! ((hego))

8:37 am

hego

HAGD Ruby.

8:37 am

Hi Ata

8:52 am

crosshair

best way to get a retired hubby out of your hair is to make sure he has a room for himself,a den,a fortress of solitude,a bunker of testoserone,all oak paneled,so he can jam his hunting knife into the wall to hang up his jacket,lots of leather and books and ships in bottles and brass clocks,and old wooden duck decoys glowing mellowly in the light of a small fireplace,and not a drop of lace to be seen:)))

8:52 am

featherbee

8:57 am

featherbee

in my girl cave, children would NOT be allowed!

8:57 am

crosshair

oh,children are verbotten in both caves

Riverdance

Hi Haz

9:41 am

Haz1558

in7/40 - if in7/40 had an L in it, it would mean a word that emcompasses, that involves. Or in plus what a cow chews, finish with a plural ending.

9:42 am

fineisfine

Lickety gives you the first two letters in each word in the puzzle plus their point values

9:46 am

Haz1558

Yes, there's wet dog smell, and there's muddy stinky dog smell. Something HAS to be done about muddy stinky dog smell.

9:47 am

Riverdance

My first day was a little confusing too - welcome aboard fine

9:47 am

Atalante

yes .... especially sulphurous stinky muddy dog smell

9:47 am

fineisfine

haz, give him a bath, thats always fun for me

Oh, sulphurous as well, not just plain stinky?

9:48 am

Riverdance

labs and rain - watch out

9:49 am

Atalante

labs are the worst!

Haz1558

Why were you exploring muddy places? And is your weather bad again?

9:49 am

once the entire house and furnishing smell like dog,then everyone will be fine:0

9:49 am

jimmel

Look below the grid, fineisfine, and see the heading "Friends of Babble"....the top listing in the middle column is Lickety's Babble Clues....go to that site and you'll see the list of today's words, how many letters each word contains and what the value of each one is....read the instructions and you can paste in the list you've created on Babble to see what you still might need. Invaluable!

9:49 am

Riverdance

Hunting season is always a thrill for me when my husband comes home with ours

Dear goodness, FM has been rendered practically hysterical!

FMitch

9:58 am

Haz1558

Dive booming - not a stealth operation?

9:58 am

Atalante

a smallish raptor

9:59 am

Haz1558

Did the sparrows escape? is there carnage?

9:59 am

FMitch

OK I go and calm down and come back :)

9:59 am

bichon

10:06 am

EvaNadine

10:06 am

FMitch

Tsk, he shouldn't have!

10:06 am

Haz1558

I know, but it had all been shaping up so nicely for spring.

10:07 am

bichon

Haz, the da 6, am I correct that the place in Ireland where peat is dug is a 3 letter word, part of the word Babble comes from

10:07 am

FMitch

You can blame him if it snows, just like I am blaming my neighbour for the fact it is pouring down as she put her washing out to dry today.

10:07 am

Haz1558

Yes, bichon, if you have the da4/7 - the derogatory term for a foreigner, just add the first letters of the noise a sheep makes.

10:08 am

bichon

I've never heard of that peat word, but I did get the da 6. TY

10:08 am

Haz1558

You're welcome.

lol indeed we do the same but we are right on top of them lol

crosshair

lol cool

10:21 am

hurshy

i can't find the 7/40 :(

10:22 am

FMitch

Must go and finish off a few bits, back soon.

10:22 am

Haz1558

in7/40 - structured like a word that encompasses and involves, but it's missing an L. in plus what a ruminant chews, give it a plural ending.

10:22 am

Haz1558

See you later, FM.

10:22 am

crosshair

nice clue haz,i was mulling over how to clue it,but without success

10:23 am

Haz1558

Thanks,crossy, and you're welcome, hurshy.

10:24 am

the other day i was being silly and doing something which my husband thought looked like the prow-riding scene from titanic, so he said something about me trying to be queen of the world, and i said, no, HAZ is queen of the world.

10:25 am

Haz1558

And did he give you a funny look?

10:25 am

hurshy

no, i'd told him that you were queen of the world before. he just forgot.

10:26 am

Haz1558

Ah well, he can't be expected to remember everything.

10:27 am

crosshair

good grief..

10:27 am

hurshy

it's true. boys' heads are filled with sports information and car information and stuff like that, so it crowds out other things.

10:27 am

Haz1558

Is he okay? I know he had some health problems?

10:27 am

hurshy

he's okay at the moment, but we still haven't got the biopsy results to say if it was cancer or not.

10:28 am

I hope the news is good.

Some pathology is trickier than others.

10:32 am

crosshair

10:32 am

Haz1558

ce4/5 - a liberal helping of the third letter of the alphabet.

10:33 am

hego

very tough

10:34 am

hego

we've been watching a cable series on the Tudors.

hego

Very racy. Didn't realize you were up to such shenanigans back then. lol

10:35 am

Atalante

it was quite - stylised. LOL

10:35 am

crosshair

lol there is nothing new under the sun,just better and more novel ways to do it

10:35 am

Haz1558

Yes, not the history of the textbook, shall we say?

10:36 am

hego

Up to Jane Seymour at present

10:36 am

Atalante

distinctly more bare bottoms than in textbooks

10:36 am

hego

no Haz. But Henry was a rogue.

10:36 am

hego

Like the acting though

10:36 am

Haz1558

Misunderstood.

10:37 am

hego

Really!

10:37 am

Haz1558

He was only thinking of the country. His own feelings didn't come into it at all.

10:37 am

hego

You think so Haz?

10:38 am

Haz1558

I'm writing in tongue in cheek font.

10:38 am

hego

Now you're pulling my leg, Lady Haz!

10:38 am

hego

I noticed. :o)

10:38 am

Norma

Hi Babblers can anyone clue the se6/27 please ;o)

10:38 am

Haz1558

You'll probably get some historian wanting to make a name for him/herself who'll give you any version of history you like.

10:38 am

hego

think of Henry

10:39 am

hego

true Haz

10:39 am

Haz1558

Don Juan - licenced to se6/27.

10:39 am

Norma

Great clue Haz thanks ;o)

10:39 am

Haz1558

hego

I can't wait for the Elizabeth part.

10:39 am

Haz1558

You're welcome, Norma.

10:40 am

hego

I never get tired of her.

10:41 am

Haz1558

She's certainly a character who gives full scope for the actresses playing her.

10:42 am

hego

And historically interesting as well.

10:42 am

hego

Quite a gal

10:43 am

Atalante

Haz would make a good Elizabeth

10:43 am

Haz1558

Yes, indeed.

10:43 am

Atalante

with some heels :P

10:43 am

hego

agreed

10:43 am

hego

big heels

10:43 am

Haz1558

Heels and a red wig.

10:43 am

Haz1558

Oh wait, I'd end up looking like little Orphan Annie or something.

10:44 am

hego

Actually, having seen Liz's tomb, I don't know that she was so tall.

10:44 am

hego

lol Haz

10:45 am

Atalante

still heels LOL

10:45 am

hego

:-)

10:45 am

Tall people are so smug.

I know. But they can reach things, so no wonder.

10:46 am

Atalante

*smug*

10:46 am

hego

We do need them for that

10:46 am

Haz1558

They don't have to waste energy dragging chairs or stepladders to do things.

10:46 am

Haz1558

Top shelf shopping is a breeze for them.

10:47 am

Atalante

Middle shelf shopping hard for Haz

10:47 am

hego

I have to climb the shelves like a rock climber.

10:47 am

hego

Ata's on a roll today.

10:48 am

Haz1558

Yes, she's managing to give a distinct impression that I veer towards being minuscule.

10:48 am

hego

microscopic even

10:48 am

Atalante

A Swiss roll woudl be nice

10:49 am

Boobear

Haz1558

11:07 am

Atalante

Dogs of Glory

11:08 am

hego

Do you arms hurt from patting yourselves on the back?

11:08 am

Atalante

11:08 am

11:09 am

hego

Yes, teeny tiny Haz.

Atalante

11:10 am

hego

Do they dust?

11:11 am

in7/36 - in plus what the burglar did to the joint to make his plans for robbery. (past tense of in6/21)

11:38 am

in7/40 - structured the same, but missing an L from a word that encompasses and involves. Or try in plus three letters of what a ruminant chews, give it a plural ending.

11:38 am

hi hego! bit of a typo there

12:20 pm

hego

How are you? Been thinking about you.

12:21 pm

PinnyPoppins

not good, i'm afraid :( how're you?

12:21 pm

hego

More anxiety?

12:22 pm

PinnyPoppins

yeah. doctors have been no help. feel myself withdrawing more everyday. feeling very hopeless

12:22 pm

hego

Have you told them that?

12:23 pm

PinnyPoppins

i did - they just doubled the dosage of medication they put me on, so now i'm sleeping about 12 hours a day and anxious the rest of the time

12:24 pm

hego

Gosh, I'm so soory to hear.

12:24 pm

hego

You've been through a lot.

12:24 pm

PinnyPoppins

it's ok. when you don't have private medical insurance, they don't want to know

12:25 pm

hego

Really terrible.

12:25 pm

PinnyPoppins

not sure what to do really

12:25 pm

Atalante

whereabouts in LOndon are you, Pinny?

12:26 pm

hego

Is there counseling available to you?

12:26 pm

PinnyPoppins

nw london - end of the northern line

12:27 pm

peabody

Don't mean to barge in Pinny & hego, but I have had panic attacks for years and it took years of different meds to get me 1/2 normal. I can now leave my home and go out - was house bound for years!

12:27 pm

PinnyPoppins

the wait list for counseling is about 10 months. i'd go into debt to fund my own, but can't seem to find a good counselor - went to see one woman last week, but she was awful

12:27 pm

PinnyPoppins

not a prob peabody - it's good to hear you're doing better now

12:28 pm

hego

As Peabody says, you can't give up on yourself. Keep at it.

12:28 pm

PinnyPoppins

just withdrew my application for a dream job at the bbc - was meant to have the second interview this week. am so heartbroken

12:28 pm

peabody

Well, don't let them just dope you up. And remember it takes all meds a couple of weeks to kick in. I'm on zoloft now with no side effects.

12:29 pm

hego

There is an answer somewhere.

12:29 pm

Atalante

ok, let me give you the name and phone number of the guy I saw in London. He is utterly wonderful. I'm not sure whether he does NHS practice still, but maybe he could help you find someone if he doesn't. He helped me more than I could say, suffering from the same anxiety, panic attacks etc

12:31 pm

hego

that's great Pinny.

12:31 pm

PinnyPoppins

i really appreciate it. the guy i wanted to see charges Â£250 an hour

12:31 pm

Atalante

he's SO helpful. Ask him for help. And just explain your money situation, ask about possibillities of seeing him for one session maybe and then he could give you ideas and maybe names of other people. He likes chatting on the phone too

12:32 pm

PinnyPoppins

thank you SO much

12:32 pm

Atalante

he looks utterly public school omg how could someone like that help - bow tie etc - don't let it put you off. He understands. I'd happily bet he's suffered from depression himself

12:32 pm

Atalante

and he has cocker spaniels

12:32 pm

Atalante

LOL ca you tell I think he's utterly wonderful?

12:33 pm

PinnyPoppins

i'm getting that impression!

12:33 pm

Atalante

he's very handsome too :P

12:33 pm

Atalante

lol but really, I would trust him with my mental health anyday

12:34 pm

hego

an added plus.

12:34 pm

peabody

Good luck Pinny - bless you ata - there was a reason for us all to be online at the same time. Will keep good thoughts for you Pinny

Pinny, do your fingernails look normal? Have white spots, or ridges?

12:38 pm

rubyfoo

hello, I'm back

12:38 pm

PinnyPoppins

fingernails look normal, although i do keep them painted all the time so it's hard to be certain

12:39 pm

hego

Hi Rube

12:43 pm

rubyfoo

I just read over the chat and the mental health discussion. What a wonderful group! After 9/11 I, too, suffered panic attacks but self-medicated and take 100 mg of Xanax and am fine now. Sleeping through the night but not more, etc. Anybody who hasn't been through it has no idea, Pinny, but this group is terrific.

12:43 pm

hego

She needs help Ruby.

12:43 pm

Atalante

panic attacks are terrible. I went through about 4 years of them, and generally so badly that I'd pass out *facepalm*

12:44 pm

rubyfoo

Certainly and it sounds like Ata gave a great recommendation!

12:44 pm

Sally-catlover

Hi all, so hope Pinny can get help.

12:44 pm

hey ata... keep an eye out for your snail mail..

12:46 pm

rubyfoo

how lovely to have a grandson!!! I never will, unfortunately, can just take pleasure in my friends' having them

12:46 pm

Atalante

if he doesn't, try and see if he knows of anyone who could help - at least a recommendation from him is probably a decent person

12:46 pm

periwinkle

it went ok, the dentist I saw was not the one Ihad made the appt with and the vit D I purs=rchase was not in the bag when I got home, but otherwise al is well. other peoples problems are worse than my not having a great day

12:46 pm

rolin

12:47 pm

I wish I could remember the name of the CBT lady I saw. She was Â£30 an hour a few years ago. Completely mad, but brilliant. Robin would be able to give you her contact details. She lives in Forest Hill and is a German opera singer called Cornelia? Cordelia?

3:28 pm

Nancy Boy

good evening all. Is it a young thing, Vlcl? I haven't seen any of them. No interest!

3:30 pm

poodletoes

just thought if weiik was young would not have been around when the movie was first out and might not be familiar with it.

3:30 pm

What are your fave films then, nancy boy?

3:31 pm

weiik

mine is old sci fi, I dined at the location for "the blob", friend of mine owned it for awhile

Sin City, Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dogs etc, Nancy Boy

3:33 pm

movieman

Also Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz

3:34 pm

Oh I -loved- Pulp Fiction! The dialogue just cracks me up. There's some of the same in Kill Bill too. Just ridiculous scripts.

3:34 pm

crosshair

3:35 pm

6 days ,seven nights,flight of the phoenix

3:35 pm

The Thing is bloody excellent too

3:35 pm

Shaun of the Dead was hilarious but I'm pretty jumpy...not a good film to watch if you're jumpy!

3:35 pm

movieman

Elm Street, Halloween, The Fly (remake)

3:35 pm

Nancy Boy

3:36 pm

3:37 pm

Hey Cyber :)

I loved Lord of the Rings, Ata, all three...probably just the hobbits though. They're adorable.

3:37 pm

I quite enjoy comic book films such as Iron Man, X-Men, Batman

3:38 pm

Iron Man was good. Dark Knight was *wonderful*

3:38 pm

Slumdog Millionaire, The Wrestler

3:38 pm

I was a kid when the Thing first came out and when you got your ticket you were handed a squashed down sponge of THE THING and the instructions were to put in water. It blew up into a big thing!

3:38 pm

Atalante

I still love A Knight's Tale even though it's utterly stupid

3:38 pm

Nancy Boy

I thought Slumdog Millionaire was great. OH and of course...probably my favourite film ever, The Shining!

3:38 pm

movieman

The Wrestler and Sin City are probably Mickey Rourke's two best performances

3:38 pm

crosshair

silence of the lambs,the stand,the abyss..i could go on and on but i wonbt lol

3:42 pm

Atalante

A Walk on the Moon, talking of Viggo

3:43 pm

3:44 pm

Nancy Boy

Oooh Ata I'm too scared by the mere THOUGHT of watching that! Leo has it somewhere (he loves horror) but I won't even touch it.

3:44 pm

movieman

crossy, is that film you';re thinking of called Rooster Cogburn?

3:44 pm

Nancy Boy

lol...that's the Exorcist, not Walk on the Moon. I'm not scared of hippies.

3:44 pm

Atalante

I only managed about 20 mins of it!

3:44 pm

crosshair

no,african queen,i remembered

3:45 pm

Nancy Boy

I cried after seeing This Is It, cos I realized I would never have the chance to see Michael Jackson in concert again

3:53 pm

Not allowed really to go veg from the nutritionist, but I culd probably eat more chicken, rather than actual red meat.

Hi Pip

6:19 pm

I have a feeling its the combo of the extra weight and the stress I am under lately.

6:20 pm

Scrabbler

Red, why aren't you allowed to become a vegetarian?

6:20 pm

crosshair

crossy needs meat!! i do not have 6 stomachs like a cow;((\

6:20 pm

Hi Car and pip sounds like you have had good days.

I saw bacon displayed at the supermarket a few hrs ago and thought of you, Crossy.

6:20 pm

car.eeyore

No! Just glad to be here!

6:20 pm

car.eeyore

Hi Crossy!

6:21 pm

redturtlehead

Well, I dont particularly want to become one, and often people with eating issues use vegetarianism to mask eating problems. So since I do believe honestly cows were made to be eated, I will continue to get some protien there, but maybe not from cows...specifically.

6:21 pm

crosshair

i can not ruminate leafy greens forever..im sorry

6:21 pm

redturtlehead

But I could do some less butter....

6:22 pm

Hello crosshair! How are you doing? Welcome to grid!

6:22 pm

6:23 pm

featherbee

pesci-ovo-lacto what???

6:24 pm

Scrabbler

I love seafood but it bothers me to eat animals.

6:24 pm

weiik

hi jell

7:30 pm

weiik

heard you got into the antique business, are you specializing in anything?

7:31 pm

Jellen

Not specializing in anything, but have recently gotten into vintage jewelry...

7:32 pm

weiik

we did one years ago, to cut our expenses we rented for 2 years, and do the yellow page ad, people will come to you with their stash,

7:32 pm

Goldieone

I am new here today. What are the tile stats below the puzzle?

7:32 pm

Jellen

We'll have a lot of glassware and pottery, some really nice books, old bottles...

7:32 pm

7:32 pm

Jellen

Yes, we also plan on buying estates...

7:33 pm

pippingeek

goldieone, the tile stats tell you how many words begin with that letter

7:33 pm

weiik

b4 prices went up, american indian african, inuit

7:33 pm

Jellen

7:34 pm

do your research, unless it is cheap, there are alot of fakes out there, pottery was our home run

7:34 pm

Goldieone

7:35 pm

pippingeek

also, goldie, if you go to the link below the grid for angelsong's page there is a lot of great info for noobs

7:35 pm

Jellen

Yes, research is a challenge...we've found some Cherokee marked pottery pretty cheap...not old, but pretty sure it's authentic...

7:35 pm

Goldieone

thank you again

7:36 pm

weiik

ebay is a great place to do research, but, not in front of a customer trying to sell something, sometimes they will bury pottery in the ground for a couple of weeks, then bring to you, make sure it does not smell

7:37 pm

weiik

look at pre-columbian pottery, most people do not know what it is and sell too cheap

7:38 pm

7:46 pm

Jellen

7:47 pm

It's better than the dream of a few months ago when I was breastfeeding one of my rabbits. I have a vivid, detailed, active dreamlife. I often wake up exhausted from the action.

9:50 pm

Pinikula

* closing eyes * TMI! TMI!

9:50 pm

Scrabbler

It's the Scrabbler Channel! Pini, it was a dream! I didn't really do that!

9:51 pm

Pinikula

ROFL!!!

9:51 pm

LuwandaHL

9:51 pm

Pinikula

Well, dreaming it is pretty scarey in itself!

9:51 pm

lbdawger

I think you should purge your dream file, scrabs.

9:51 pm

Scrabbler

I frequently have flying dreams--flapping arms to gain altitude. So fun!

9:52 pm

LuwandaHL

more fun, less traumatic

9:52 pm

lbdawger

Luw are you flying in a plane or flapping your arms?

9:52 pm

Jellen

Sigh, I rarely remember my dreams...

9:53 pm

Scrabbler

Oh, man, Jellen, you are missing out! I also frequently have lucid dreams--where one is conscious of dreaming so you can direct the dream but feel safe and in control.

9:53 pm

Pinikula

I'm with you, jellen

9:53 pm

LuwandaHL

Sorry; Heck of a way to re-enter the game! <BLUSH!!!>

10:33 pm

pippingeek

don't call me names, nef!

10:33 pm

jmbdobie2

i have 9 left and am bumping my head against the wall

10:33 pm

Nef

Pipping, I didn't mean you or anyone else; I thought I was in the other box again!

10:34 pm

jmbdobie2

hi nef & pippen

10:34 pm

pippingeek

i was actually joking, nef, i know you would never say that

10:35 pm

Nef

Sometimes I just get so excited when I have a word pop out that I just ENTER it and don't see where I'm at!

10:36 pm

Nef

(I *hoped* and thought I knew you were kidding, pippin!)

10:36 pm

Nef

Hi jmb!

10:37 pm

pippingeek

how are you jmb?

10:37 pm

jmbdobie2

i am about to give up the ghost

10:37 pm

pippingeek

i've had a glorious day but the wine has given me a headache

10:37 pm

jmbdobie2

sorry pippin

10:38 pm

pippingeek

can't really complain - got to sleep obscenely late, decadent lunch for free, clean sheets to sleep in, get to do a grid, and wasn't even supposed to have a day off!

10:39 pm

jmbdobie2

sounds pretty good but a headache can be a spoiler

10:39 pm

pippingeek

gonna drink some water and take some aspirin, i have faith it'll be fine

10:40 pm

jmbdobie2

my favorite line from man of la mancha is "have faith and shuffle the cards" faith, water, & aspirin should work

10:41 pm

Nef

eat some protein too. Lots of water and some protein might help

10:42 pm

jmbdobie2

think i'm going to hit the sheets and just leave the last 9

10:43 pm

Nef

probably a good plan if you're that tired, jmb. Sleep well!

10:43 pm

jmbdobie2

good luck nef & pippin

10:44 pm

pippingeek

had lovely lobster pasta for late lunch and dinner, so i think that counts as adequate protein

10:44 pm

jmbdobie2

ttfn

10:44 pm

Nef

YUM! Now I envy you! (But not for the headache)

10:45 pm

pippingeek

Nef

10:48 pm
