One of the actors screwed up a line and it caused a MAJOR crackup on stage, the other actors, the orchestra, and most of the audience. It was very funny!

12:57 am

harpjane

How are you doing sprite, hope spring is lifting your spirits.

2:59 am

And how are you, FM? Enjoying the garden, I see, and otherwise?

3:00 am

FMitch

AM well, settled into the house now and enjoying life.

3:00 am

sprite

Terra is lovely as ever. Shedding his winter coat right now, and trying to find out who is really boss. Falling in love with some bull terrier lady. Cuddly and funny as ever.

3:01 am

FMitch

oh how funny his first crush!

3:01 am

sprite

so glad to hear that :)

3:02 am

hi sandra

3:30 am

rubyfoo

made 78 words very fast, but probably won't get many more....but, although there was frost last night [!!], today promises to be gorgeous!

3:31 am

sprite

here as well, lovely day. 140 words pretty fast, now slowing down considerably.

3:33 am

rubyfoo

that is so cute about Terra! It reminds me of my second chow, Rufus, who, the first time he tried to pee lifting a leg, fell over. I was in Brussels at the time and my husband called me from Miami to tell me!

3:33 am

rubyfoo

neither he, nor Max, neither of them fixed, ever tried to mount a lday chow

3:34 am

rubyfoo

140 words!

3:35 am

rubyfoo

140 is a distant dream....

3:36 am

sprite

aw that is so sweet! I did not even know male dogs had to learn to lift their leg to pee, until babble chog told me, lol.

3:36 am

rubyfoo

he was a wonderful fentleman of a dog, lived to be 10, which is not too bad for a chow

3:37 am

rubyfoo

gentleman* and he was a better typist than his mom!

3:37 am

Morning ruby :)

3:41 am

sprite

wb FM. Weren't you the one who questioned my priorities recently? ;) Telephone over babble?

3:42 am

rubyfoo

I hate the phone! it is mostly telemarketers

3:42 am

FMitch

Babble always comes first but sometimes work gets in the way;)

3:43 am

sprite

my husband is wicked with telemarketeers. He turns tables on them... asks them which toothpaste they use, and why, and if they don't want to answer he goes like: "Don't you agree your teeth are very important? Don't you care about your teeth? Because if you do..."

3:43 am

sprite

indeed FM! So inconsiderate, isn't it

3:44 am

Sally-catlover

Morming all. lol sprite

3:44 am

sprite

hey Sally!

3:44 am

FMitch

Hi there Sally

3:44 am

rubyfoo

I got one who spoke French with a weird accent. Usually I say that I don't speak French or, if I realize it in time, I just hang up. One called back, twice, and said I was rude!

3:44 am

rubyfoo

Hi sally

3:44 am

sprite

wow that is pushy

3:44 am

rubyfoo

The final time, I made my husband answer and the guy hung up!

3:45 am

Sally-catlover

We don't get many. I have found recently they have a new chat-up line of "how are you?" I totally throw them when I ask, "why?"

3:45 am

rubyfoo

haha

3:46 am

sprite

oh yes, disrupting their script is the best way to go.

3:46 am

rubyfoo

sometimes you can tell because there is a long pause before anybody speaks

3:46 am

Sally-catlover

I had one that called back and said we had been cut off. I just said, no, we didn't get cut off, I hung up on you. I also tell them that on a point of principle I never ever deal with anyone that cold calls. We are on the telephone preference scheme here so I quote the regulations back at them and tell them they could be fined because they are breaking the law.

3:46 am

sprite

though I must say I don't usually follow my love's example. Since they are all just people hired to do this job, I simply say: I am not interested. have a nice day.

3:46 am

rubyfoo

after seeing slumdog, I realized that they sit in front of a console that dials many numbers at the same time and when someone picks up, they turn to that line

3:47 am

FMitch

Oh I do that too Sally as am in TPS too.

3:47 am

Sally-catlover

Oh, is that in slumdog? I had heard that was the case because that's why sometimes when you pick up there is no-one there.

3:47 am

rubyfoo

sometimes they call on our fax number which is relaly a nusance. then I have to run downstairs to disconnect

3:48 am

Sally-catlover

I do get very rude if they are pushy FM.

3:48 am

rubyfoo

yes

3:48 am

sprite

rubyfoo, there is a word in this grid you may not have seen before, a babblet. ni5/10 - 2nd generation Japanese immigrants.

3:49 am

Sally-catlover

Silence while everyone looks for the ni 5/10

3:49 am

sprite

lol

3:49 am

rubyfoo

is that to blow up the phone?

3:50 am

sprite

nope, that is another one

4:01 am

4:01 am

FMitch

Yay!

4:01 am

rubyfoo

100 now and almost lunch time

4:02 am

rubyfoo

husband is trying to be nice as this is my "birthday week", but his struggle is visible!

4:03 am

FMitch

Do you have any plans for 'the day'?

4:04 am

rubyfoo

he is taking me to the best rtestaurant in the region, Pere Bise, which I think is madness but "voila"

4:04 am

rubyfoo

I'm sure it has a website, if you are interested....

4:05 am

FMitch

Sounds lovely, I will google it.

4:05 am

Sally-catlover

Perhaps we should have a babble meet there?

4:06 am

rubyfoo

it is on the lake and only 10 minutes away

4:06 am

Sally-catlover

We'll all leap out of rubyfoo's cake, saying "surprise!"

4:06 am

rubyfoo

sounds good to me, but we'd need a sponsor, lol

4:06 am

FMitch

Oh wow the menu is wonderful!

4:06 am

rubyfoo

Veyrat, the famous chef, used to have another 3-star resto here, but he went broke!

4:07 am

Sally-catlover

brb - googling

4:07 am

FMitch

LOL Sally

4:07 am

rubyfoo

It is one of those places that gives menus without prices to the women, which I hate, as, when I worked, I used to take out clients all the time in NY and Chicago and other places!

4:08 am

rubyfoo

half!!

4:08 am

rubyfoo

French sexism is invidious (or insidious, I can never remember which) and is very annoying

4:09 am

FMitch

and such a beautiful location.

4:10 am

rubyfoo

yes, this is a lovely part of France!

4:10 am

rubyfoo

and I can see that lake from where I'm sitting

4:10 am

Sally-catlover

You are only 10 minutes away from the lake then ruby? I think we should definitely all check it out.

4:10 am

rubyfoo

you can almost see my house in google earth, route de Morat in Veyrier du Lac

4:11 am

FMitch

Time for me to get the Babble Jet out out of mothballs then.

4:11 am

rubyfoo

no, much closer, straight down the hill

4:11 am

Sally-catlover

Dons helmet and goggles in preparation for FM to pick me up en route

4:11 am

rubyfoo

you are both so sweet, now I'm off to make an apero for my trying-to-be-sweet husband.

4:12 am

FMitch

See you later ruby

4:12 am

Sally-catlover

bye for now then

4:12 am

rubyfoo

we are having lunch at a terrible Italian restaurant in the village. The chef tries to make French food and does so badly. When he makes his native Sicilian stuff, it's quite good.

4:12 am

FMitch

No need for goggles and helmet Sally, it is a plush jet complete with cabana boys.

4:12 am

Sally-catlover

Finding it difficult to concentrate this morning because we are having some work done immediately above my head and it's like a very very loud dentist's drill.

4:12 am

rubyfoo

and I drink grappa, so don't really care!

4:13 am

rubyfoo

oh, poor sally! That would drive me crazy.

4:13 am

Sally-catlover

*Puts Biggles helmet back in drawer

4:13 am

4:13 am

Sally-catlover

It is actually giving me a headache ruby

4:14 am

rubyfoo

4:14 am

Sally-catlover

Just glad I don't have an immiment dentist's appointment! The guy is wearing ear defenders, but I'm not!

4:15 am

FMitch

*lends Sally my ear defenders*

4:16 am

Sally-catlover

Oh, thanks, FM. They look fetching with the Biggles helmet.

4:16 am

Sally-catlover

(and the goggles of course)

4:16 am

FMitch

LOL! and the boiler suit, very fetching!

4:17 am

Sally-catlover

I didn't know you knew about the boiler suit! No, actually I have the leather/sheepskin jacket on.

4:18 am

FMitch

One thing though do get rid of the stick on mustache, it does nothing for the outfit :)

4:18 am

6:12 am

hydra

Hi sally, ruby. I'm just back from hairdresser. Long hair all chopped off. Feels very strange.

6:12 am

rubyfoo

yes, my food was fish in broth with rice, yummy. Husband had grilled squid which he didn't like, so I ate 1/3 of his, too. However, Grappa makes everything wonderful!

6:13 am

Sally-catlover

I remember when I had that done hundreds of years ago, hydra. Went from waist length to the Mia Farrow look! Felt like a different personality, and very draughty!

6:13 am

rubyfoo

My hairdresser imploded and my hair is horrible - not much of it but curly and grey!

6:14 am

Sally-catlover

At the time, the hairdresser kept asking me anxiously, are yoiu sure you want to do this?!

6:14 am

rubyfoo

My head looks like a [brely] fuzzy grapefruit!

6:14 am

rubyfoo

barely*

6:14 am

Nancy Boy

hi, everyone! I know what you're going through, Hydra...! For a while after having mine cut, I kept brushing my shoulder blades..:)

6:15 am

Sally-catlover

lol NB

6:16 am

Nancy Boy

however, I now appreciate being able to flick my head around without hitting anyone in the face :)

6:16 am

herinfernallady

Pounce

6:16 am

rubyfoo

hello herin!

6:17 am

Sally-catlover

You or the cat herin?

6:17 am

rubyfoo

6:17 am

Nancy Boy

hi, Herin!

6:18 am

rubyfoo

hey, NB!

6:18 am

Nancy Boy

Bonjour Ruby ;)

6:19 am

rubyfoo

bonjour, NB

6:19 am

Nancy Boy

Kidding myself there - I can barely speak -English-!

6:20 am

rubyfoo

lol lol

6:20 am

Atalante

bonjour tout le monde!

6:20 am

rubyfoo

but I'm another nancy (real name) but have many nicknames

6:20 am

Nancy Boy

my excuse always is, "it's a second language..." never mind that I know about two words of the first language, lol

6:20 am

Sally-catlover

Buongiorno Ata

6:20 am

rubyfoo

hello ata! how is your bitten hand?

6:20 am

herinfernallady

How are yuo Ata what happened?

6:21 am

Nancy Boy

ahn-nyeong Ata ;)

6:23 am

rubyfoo

that's like the guy who speaks 7 languages, none of them fluently! lol

6:24 am

Atalante

ahn-nyeong! oooo *learns new thing*

6:24 am

Nancy Boy

LOL Ruby, well quite! In my "native tongue" (oh please) I can't even transliterate my surname! It's got about ten alternative spellings

6:25 am

Atalante

it's very - um - yellow and black and blue and purple, ruby!!

6:25 am

rubyfoo

too funny! it's like having 10 nicknames

6:25 am

rubyfoo

but I share nancy with you

6:25 am

Nancy Boy

It might not be written right, Ata - things get lost in translation when a language forsakes letters for shapes! ;)

6:25 am

rubyfoo

but not infected, ata?

6:26 am

Nancy Boy

how kind of you Ruby ;)

6:26 am

Nancy Boy

brb - must dry hair!

6:26 am

Atalante

magandang umaga! I'm trying to remember all my Tagalog for an assignment I'm doing

6:26 am

rubyfoo

but I am nancy ellen (hard to grow up with that!)

6:26 am

Atalante

no, not infected. just bloody painful LOL

6:26 am

rubyfoo

you need my ruby to make it well!

6:27 am

Atalante

I get to see my friend's Bella on Friday night :)

6:27 am

herinfernallady

Crud I missed the chat. What happened Ata? Sorry I sniffed

6:27 am

rubyfoo

dogs make everything all right!

6:28 am

Atalante

oh - I separated Hobbit and a friend's dog - they decided to have a spat

6:28 am

rubyfoo

ata, bravely, tried to break up a dog fight! She should have known better, but instinct kicked in!

6:28 am

herinfernallady

bad puppies

6:28 am

herinfernallady

At least you didn't do that bull crap positive training and let them at it

6:28 am

Atalante

oh yes. and of course 10 mins later they were asleep cuddled up together

6:29 am

rubyfoo

while you were at the ER!

6:29 am

Sally-catlover

brb

6:29 am

Atalante

I did for a moment to see if they'd stop. they didn't. I know you're not meant to physically stop fighting pups, but it was just easier than dealing with an injured Hobbit or Belle!

6:30 am

herinfernallady

My g.f is against positive training it doesn't work and the dog gets confused

6:30 am

rubyfoo

I can imagine! Ruby has had some stomach upset for 3 days and I'm going crazy! It is hard to be rational about much-loved pups!

6:30 am

Atalante

I knew perfectly well I'd get bitten, so it was partly my fault, but it needed to be done

6:31 am

herinfernallady

I have a cold and Pandora since I got in has been all snuggles

6:31 am

rubyfoo

my husband has done the same thing, certainly understandable

6:31 am

rubyfoo

that is so sweet, herin

6:31 am

Atalante

awwwww

6:32 am

herinfernallady

Ata my friend stopped sending her dog to play group when the runner did positive training on a fighting dog. There is the no don't do that when they snap but this dog and got the other dogs face and was really trying to hurt it

6:32 am

Atalante

hobbit hasn't stopped cuddling me since that!

6:32 am

herinfernallady

Ata is that your smug Silly?

6:32 am

rubyfoo

they know!

6:32 am

Atalante

but the dog that bit me is sooo gorgeous, I don't remotely blame her. She's a *beautiful* young brindle staffordshire bull terrier, I adore her

6:32 am

Atalante

yep!!

6:33 am

herinfernallady

My gods that is the best pic ever of her

6:33 am

rubyfoo

chows are too sweet. They protect me, but I would never send them to a group with less-nice dogs!

6:33 am

Atalante

isn't she smug!

6:33 am

herinfernallady

See Stafs can get very that is my mum NO you go NO near them

6:34 am

rubyfoo

how did you get that cat to smile like that? Did you offer her a pre-chosen mouse?

6:34 am

Atalante

we *think* hobbit walked too near one of Belle's chews. But we're not sure

6:34 am

Atalante

lol no idea! I just saw her and RAN for the camera!

6:35 am

herinfernallady

Mum and Dad have outside play only with other dogs as she is a bit old and snappy

6:35 am

6:36 am

rubyfoo

herinfernallady

6:37 am

rubyfoo

rubyfoo

when bying a mouse you look for a construction type where the left and right mouse buttons are not 2 seperate plastic parts,but they are connected to the main top shell of the mouse and flow in a uninterrupted piece of plastic.they work better and break seldom

In one of the books I have re:PC"S for Dummies, it said to unscrew the bottom and wipe the parts with alcohol and put the bottom back on. I did and it worked. Mouse glided after that. It was like changing a diaper less the alcohol.

8:01 am

Trifioso

RKB, I was just asking bec I am sort of still getting the hang of gardening, and I have seen LOADS of people buying up all sorts of stuff at the local garden centers, but methinks it is still a bit early for this zone, yes?

8:01 am

herinfernallady

What did he see?

Good time for pansies.

A day to remember, shikari something, and two others I can't remember because I am old and scabby.

8:02 am

Trifioso

Nancy are you on FB? We should def become friends!

8:03 am

hego

Hi NB

8:03 am

Read-Knit-Bake

Yes, Trif. it is....usually Memorial Day is good. When there is NO possibility of frost. My friend who owns a greenhouse goes by the rule: after the full moon in May.

8:03 am

Nancy Boy

I'm not, Trif - I'm scared of FB! Just far too many people...I use yahoo now though, if you have that :)

8:03 am

Nancy Boy

Hey, Hego

8:03 am

Trifioso

Primo went to a concert in boston, and he and his friend phoned me at 11:30 pm to say they had "forgotten" to get rides home, and could I come fetch them at the train station? it was 12:30 before the train arrived, and I greeted them in full pink fuzzy bathrobe glamour

8:04 am

hego

Or after Mother's Day.

8:04 am

Trifioso

Thank you RKB

8:04 am

herinfernallady

Enter Shikari that sound it?

8:04 am

Nancy Boy

I wondered that, Herin

8:04 am

Read-Knit-Bake

Trif...there are some annuals that flaunt that rule though. Pansies are very hardy and can with stand a few cold nights, but dislike heat, so move those pots to another cooler spot once the heat starts. hey we are close..anytime you want me to come and share, I' be glad to.

8:05 am

Trifioso

best part was that about 10 other kids from school were there also, and you should have SEEN the faces on Primo on his friend when I asked them why they hadn't grabbed rides home with one of them. DUH x 2

8:05 am

Trifioso

Thanks RKB!!!

8:05 am

herinfernallady

Trifs is that right?

8:06 am

Nancy Boy

reminds me of hitch-hiking home from the Reading Festival. we all thought it was a reeeeal good idea at the time. You meet some strange souls out at four in the morning!

8:06 am

Trifioso

maybe, herin. Let me go check his tee shirt - I am sure its on the floor somewhere....

8:06 am

herinfernallady

ewww Trifs you are a brave woman

8:07 am

herinfernallady

8:08 am

mkg

iwould love a clue for the 8 plz.

8:09 am

herinfernallady

death metal (ok heavy metal) and a band that sounds like a Green Day rip off

8:09 am

Trifioso

oh, I WISH you guys could see what I am watching out my window - there is a mimosa tree in the yard, on which a young male cardinal is singing his HEAD off, and has been for over 45 minutes, non stop. on the stone wall and the oak trees are 3 female cardinals who could not give less of a shit about his nonsense. poor guy!

8:09 am

Mom

Hi MKG, I only have one ... Dennis the Menance was full of mi 8/70

8:10 am

herinfernallady

Trifs that sounds reverse still it is usually the girls fluffing it up for the boys

8:10 am

Nancy Boy

LOL Herin. I can't stand Green Day. They're one of the only bands to sound like a really naff tribute to themselves.

8:10 am

Trifioso

I know, right??? it's so funny!!!

8:10 am

Trifioso

I know, right??? it's so funny!!!

8:11 am

Trifioso

I sort of agree, nancy, but Primo LOVES him some green day, so I say naught

8:12 am

Nancy Boy

oh no, each to their own :) how old is he? he'd probably disapprove of my music taste!

8:13 am

Trifioso

17, and he is musically schizophrenic, just like me. our ipods have a little bit of everything on it. Really, nancy, you should emigrate....I would adopt you in a second, and you would fit right in here at our house

8:16 am

Nancy Boy

I'm afraid to adopt me you have to adopt Leo as well ;) and his new baby niece, because she is gorrrrgeous. and you'd have to put up with me staying up all night chatting to JC on msn...Leo has complained ;)

8:21 am

Trifioso

does leo do dishes and yard work? LOL

8:22 am

Nancy Boy

LOL! We're city boys; I don't think we'd know what to do in a yard!

8:23 am

herinfernallady

JC?

8:24 am

hego

Not the holy One I presume.

8:25 am

Nancy Boy

LOL Hego! Not Jesus Christ no ;)

8:28 am

Nancy Boy

okay, before this goes any further - he and I are friends; I don't wanna fight about this...so let's not. There's been a disagreement, but I don't want to be the 19-year-old that has to tell everyone to please behave like adults.

8:28 am

hego

Ooh, poor jmc.

8:29 am

blueheron

8:29 am

Atalante

I'm glad you are friends, NB. But you can't forget that he badly hurt a lot of our friends here in Babble land, and that's not a good thing

8:31 am

Atalante

I think he's a love or hate person!

8:31 am

Nancy Boy

it was just an issue very close to his heart, Jmc...which I can understand because it's close to my heart, too.

8:31 am

herinfernallady

i went from a 12 gallon flush to a 2 gallon flush

9:14 am

EvaNadine

alas, im not able to get out there to fix the toilet myself, so im telling her to call a plumber.
*grumbles*

9:14 am

low flow toilets pay off in 2 months

crosshair

if your doing that eva,buy a low flow toilet and give it to him to put in

9:15 am

crosshair

this way you are not heating 40 gallons of water all the time

9:27 am

herinfernallady

9:27 am

herinfernallady

$300 a quater

9:27 am

crosshair

ouch

9:28 am

crosshair

with a on demand heater the average home will save 300 per year so in 3 years you have it paid for,plus endless hot water

9:28 am

crosshair

imagine a 1 hour shower,,,lol

9:29 am

herinfernallady

yep I know it is bad when you think that would be like every light on in the house

9:31 am

crosshair

you using pig tail light bulbs?they last for 4 years and save 50 dollars in hydro over the life of the bulb,for each bulb

9:32 am

herinfernallady

Cross every light in this house is green lighting fridge is 4 star and no dryer

9:32 am

crosshair

then it is the hot water heater alone that is killing you

9:32 am

10:55 am

Riverdance

what a sweet baby ATA sporting her new collar

10:55 am

Atalante

haven't seen Saturday's yet. C wouldn't let me watch! LOVED the first one though

10:55 am

FMitch

I am not sold on it at all, it has lost its lutre for me.

10:56 am

Atalante

she's funny, she loves her collars. She always looks smug with a new collar. And when you take her collar off, she always tries to find it and bring it to me!

10:56 am

Riverdance

does anyone have the se6 - I am struggling with those 6's today

10:56 am

Atalante

really? awwww :(

10:57 am

FMitch

umm se + frozen water with a cons insterted just before the end.

10:58 am

FMitch

I know, I so want to like it but am just not getting the feel yet.

10:58 am

Riverdance

thanks much FM

10:58 am

FMitch

glad to help Mm

10:58 am

Atalante

I love Matt Smith. I loved him from the first moment though, so I'm kinda biased

11:01 am

FMitch

lol

11:01 am

FMitch

He has yet to convince me but I will watch on.

11:02 am

FMitch

Oh have you seen any of the new Heston Blumethal banquest series? 2 have aired so far and they have been amazing.

11:03 am

Atalante

I haven't ... should I?

11:03 am

jmbdobie2

100 left... back to work. find those words so you can help me later LOL

11:04 am

FMitch

Bye for now jmb

11:05 am

FMitch

WEll his creations are incredible and the prog is hugely entertaining, last nights theme was Fairy Tales

11:05 am

Atalante

ooo wow. boar's heads!

11:06 am

FMitch

Haz is out shopping for portacabins today, she left this morning with cheque book in hand.

11:06 am

Atalante

ooooooo! lol I wonder why you thought of Haz

11:07 am

FMitch

No reason, meant to mention it earlier.

11:07 am

Atalante

oh! I thought it was my bad ' :P

11:07 am

FMitch

you should see what Heston did with the cocks testicles.

11:07 am

Nancy Boy

*raises hand* I've seen them, FMitch! I love me a bit of Heston ;)

11:08 am

FMitch

He is just so OTT in his dedication to trying everything isn't he NB?

11:09 am

Nancy Boy

oh he's crazy. Although my little vegan heart was slightly broken by the boar's head :(

11:09 am

Nancy Boy

however, I WANT that house he made for the dessert!

11:09 am

Atalante

did he really do a boar's head? coool

11:09 am

FMitch

The modified or end version was a little easier to cope with and at least he didn't use the real eye.

11:10 am

FMitch

Oh god yes, now that was a childhood dream come true!

11:10 am

Nancy Boy

although that one female guest was very annoying. "ewww, I can't eat tongue", etc...if you're going to be like that, what's the point of being one of Heston's guests?! silly woman.

11:11 am

FMitch

Did you see the Willy Wonka one NB?

11:11 am

Nancy Boy

Sadly I missed it D: I can only imagine though...

11:11 am

FMitch

complete with lickable wallpaper.

11:11 am

Nancy Boy

and Ata - kind of. Tried a real stuffed boar's head first, and then modified it to make it look more appealing...

11:13 am

FMitch

I just find his level of creativity facinating.

11:13 am

Nancy Boy

same - that's why I watch it, in spite of obvious complaints ;)

11:14 am

FMitch

although I would draw the line at eating his snail porridge.

11:15 am

Nancy Boy

ERM yes :D

11:16 am

FMitch

Anyway, how is life going NB, hope all is well?

11:17 am

FMitch

Where has Ata gone?

11:18 am

Atalante

sorry, pup wanted a wee!

11:18 am

Nancy Boy

oh yes, thank you, FMitch! Swimmingly :) Although...just recently we have become uncomfortably aware that our neighbours across the way can see riiiight into our bedroom (awkward!), so we keep walking around behaving like characters in a 1920s play. But how are you and yours?

11:19 am

Riverdance

lol NB

11:19 am

rururocks

hmm.. hope you put on a few shows for them

11:19 am

FMitch

lol re the image of you and Leo as characters in a 1920s play, I am sure you would both be so debonair!

11:20 am

FMitch

Hey ruru!!!

11:20 am

Atalante

if you live in Soho, any neighbours can't be exactly prudes

11:20 am

rururocks

11:25 am

Nancy Boy

11:25 am

rururocks

I have a story you'll get a kick out of NB

11:25 am

Atalante

am trying to persuade friends to go to Levant for dinner - is a gorgeous gorgeous Middle East restaurant off Wigmore Street. Then Marylebone

11:25 am

Nancy Boy

oh yeah, Ruru? :) do tell!

11:26 am

Atalante

then bumming round Waterloo waiting for the first trains back home!

11:27 am

Nancy Boy

you're a woman after my own heart Ata ;) before I moved here I was regularly seen slumped outside the underground as the sun rose!

11:28 am

rururocks

When I was much younger (actually closer to your age) I used to go out with an older woman who own a gorgeous apartment overlooking SF...she had these bay windows and often our extra-ciricular activities would happen in her living room until one night we noticed a neighbor with binoculars checking out the action..lol

11:28 am

periwinkle

hello all

11:28 am

Atalante

lol yep! thank goodness for the stations being open 24 hours! I love Victoria for that. Must remember to bring a respectable change of clothes, am having to go straight down to Dover for a sponge identification course!!

11:29 am

Nancy Boy

OMG, Ruru!! I suppose you should feel flattered, LOL

11:29 am

Nancy Boy

Hi, Peri!

11:29 am

rururocks

11:30 am

Riverdance

Hope you took a bow ruru

11:30 am

Atalante

11:31 am

Riverdance

heading off to lunch - catch you all later

11:31 am

Nancy Boy

11:31 am

rururocks

LOL NB

11:31 am

rururocks

where's the tattoo?

11:32 am

Nancy Boy

11:33 am

(breaks out smelling salts)

11:35 am

FMitch

yw peri

11:35 am

Nancy Boy

It doesn't go down as far as you're all thinking, it's just in that general...vicinity. But yes it was painful getting it done!

11:35 am

periwinkle

no smelling salts needed here :)

11:35 am

rururocks

(atta girl!)

11:36 am

Nancy Boy

I can't imagine getting that tattooed. In fact, I REFUSE to imagine it.

11:36 am

rururocks

they do it in SF ... ouch

11:37 am

FMitch

eeew

11:37 am

periwinkle

ouch, indeed

11:37 am

rururocks

(heard stories)

11:37 am

periwinkle

NB, do you have any body piercing?

11:37 am

Nancy Boy

*grimaces* I think you'd have to be mad.

11:37 am

Atalante

this however is fab - WARNING! you can imagine what the pic is - http://www.americas-best.com/graphics/

11:38 am

periwinkle

11:38 am

periwinkle

OMG must check that out, brb

11:38 am

Atalante

it's actually very very cleverly done

11:39 am

KatieMcG

just looking at the po

11:40 am

Nancy Boy

oooh, it's an apadravya

11:40 am

KatieMcG

just looking at the photo and now realise I will need to show it hubby otherwise he will think I am looking at porn when I am off sick lol

11:40 am

Atalante

looooool

11:40 am

Atalante

its art, dear :P

11:40 am

Nancy Boy

LOL Katie!

11:41 am

Nancy Boy

at least I think it's an apadravya. But you have to have serious backbone to get one of those done...!

11:41 am

Nancy Boy

and yes, Peri, I do, but just my nipple. So far...

11:41 am

Atalante

absolutely! *ouch*

11:43 am

FMitch

Good havens what a pic Ata, that must have taken some time and pain to achieve that!

11:43 am

Nancy Boy

(I think Ruru has either fainted or is observing a minute's silence...)

11:44 am

rururocks

I can't look.

11:44 am

Atalante

just a bit! damn clever idea though

11:44 am

rururocks

(hates needles and such)

11:45 am

Nancy Boy

At least when one gets a piercing or tattoo in that general area, the pain detracts from the embarrassment! Mostly...

11:46 am

Nancy Boy

(when I had my tattoo done I was too busy crushing Leo's fingerbones to dust to feel that embarrassed)

11:47 am

Atalante

I just design the things and watch other people going through the pain :D

11:48 am

Nancy Boy

LOL! the best way to be, Ata, but I love my little lion and all that he stands for ;)

11:48 am

Boobear

clue for fi 5/20

11:49 am

FMitch

f + frozen water with a cons insterted before the end

11:49 am

Nancy Boy

Ata - did you say you were planning to get yours on your wrist?

11:49 am

Boobear

ty FMitch

11:50 am

Atalante

in theory - lol .... going onto the back of my hand. maybe. though I hate needles and pain. Great place to choose ...

11:50 am

Nancy Boy

I was going to say! mine hurt worst over my hip. bones seem to do it.

11:50 am

FMitch

I'm a wimp, don't even have pierced ears.

11:52 am

Nancy Boy

I wasn't expecting it to hurt, FMitch! I thought it'd sting a bit and have some pressure to it, but amazingly the needle going into my skin felt like...a needle going into my skin!

11:53 am

Atalante

shocking that :P

11:53 am

FMitch

Know whaqt that feels like - was in hospital for a while and had enough needles and stuff stuck into me.

11:54 am

Nancy Boy

ugh, FMitch. I can only take it for beauty reasons; not health reasons ;)

11:55 am

FMitch

Just realised the time, have a few things to tie up before the working day is over. TTFN and Happy Babbling.

11:55 am

Nancy Boy

see you later, FMitch :) take care!

11:57 am

Atalante

bye dear!

11:59 am

rururocks

i am a blank canvass

12:01 pm

Atalante

did you see that prog the other day NB about a man who made himself into a cat-man through tats and piercings?

12:01 pm

rururocks

yes

12:02 pm

Nancy Boy

ewww, no I didn't, Ata! I've seen it advertised though...gross!

12:02 pm

Atalante

quite quite bizarre

12:03 pm

Atalante

he did everything without anaesthetic. eeep

12:03 pm

Nancy Boy

stuff like that is crazy to me. I like having my one tattoo that just sort of celebrates something special to me, but I could never do ANYTHING like that!

12:03 pm

Atalante

I think cats were special to him ...

12:04 pm

Atalante

in a somewhat overly obsessive way!

12:05 pm

Nancy Boy

LOL. I'll save mine for humans I think ;)

12:05 pm

rururocks

wonder if he eats cat food

12:06 pm

Nancy Boy

in fact, if you think about it, I'm lucky to have someone whose name provokes such a gorgeous tattoo. If I was with a Brian or something, I'd have real problems. So I like my 'Leo' lion!

12:06 pm

Atalante

wouldn't be surprised

12:07 pm

Atalante

Gordon would be a difficult one to make pretty

12:09 pm

Nancy Boy

quite. if it hadn't been Leo I think it would have been initials ;)

12:10 pm

Atalante

lol yes

12:11 pm

Nancy Boy

hmmm. darn, I really want him home now! better go get ready for work though I suppose...see you later, all :)

12:12 pm

Hi {{Katie}}

2:00 pm

2:01 pm

KatieMcG

phew i thought it was the mad woman from the weekend!

2:01 pm

Mom

I had the sound turned down on the Tv (thankfully) so I am not sure if it is tablet, liquid or what but I think it is self explanatory

2:01 pm

Mom

who is that Katie?

2:01 pm

KatieMcG

Thank God we don't get adverts like that over here

im not a makeup guru. most of the "pinup" makeup ive had was really based more outta the 50s, not the 20s, and i never did my own...

2:03 pm

EvaNadine

i would think heavier eyebrows, dark eyeliner and red lips, but otherwise rather pale...

2:04 pm

clue for si 6/18 pls

2:04 pm

KatieMcG

my Ex's father forgot my name when we had been living together for 10 years!! When we broke up he wrote me to say that he hoped our friendship wouldn't suffer from the break up.........seriously deranged!

2:04 pm

Atalante

hmmmm, that's what I was thinking, Eva. Just wondered if you knew!

2:04 pm

Atalante

LOL!

2:05 pm

Anniebrook

Katie, LOL

2:05 pm

Atalante

oh, Annie, husband invited an old friend over for the weekend, even though I'd asked him not to because I don't like her. Apparently she was more important to accommodate than my feelings!

2:05 pm

lawyer-1

si 6/18 = s+i 5/10 to bury

2:05 pm

EvaNadine

see, Ata stops accusing me long enough to ask me question. ;)

2:05 pm

Mom

oh Ata, that is just not nice

2:06 pm

Anniebrook

Ata, pooh on him. Not nice at all.

2:06 pm

Atalante

2:06 pm

Atalante

2:07 pm

Mom

seriously? wow

2:07 pm

Anniebrook

Ata, I am getting steamed just reading about it. You do not have to put up with that.

2:08 pm

KatieMcG

i thought that he had decided she was a mad bitch after she said the weekend wasn't worth the effort

2:09 pm

Atalante

yes - but then karma struck

2:09 pm

Atalante

and she phoned him up after she left saying that his company wasn't worth the exortionate train fare. LMAO!

2:09 pm

Mom

:), jaw dropping

2:10 pm

Atalante

and I shouldn't laugh, but its SO funny

2:11 pm

Anniebrook

Sounds like something my EX husband would have done. Yes, it is funny but she should not have been there in the first place.

2:11 pm

Mom

what was his response?

2:11 pm

Atalante

now, that I don't know. He didn't say!

2:12 pm

Anniebrook

Too embarrassed?

2:12 pm

Mom

he ought not pin it on you though

2:12 pm

Atalante

I think so!

2:13 pm

Atalante

I wasn't there during the weekend - I went up to sisters, refused to be in the house while someone I disliked so much was there!

2:14 pm

Mom

Good for you!

2:14 pm

Anniebrook

Ditto.

2:16 pm

Atalante

2:17 pm

Mom

and you had an absolutely lovely weekend

2:17 pm

Atalante

yep!

2:19 pm

KatieMcG

we had a mad bitch but we faced her together. The final straw was when she phoned Bry on our wedding day crying because she wasn't very well and couldn't come luckily enough he recognised her for a mad one and we haven't had anything to do with her since!

2:20 pm

Atalante

2:21 pm

I had an amazing experience today. I went for a long walk on this beautiful spring day. I live in sort of a semi-rural area, outskirts of a small city. I didn't take Biscuit on the walk cause he's old and ailing. A coyote crossed the road about 100 feet head of me. I looked around and saw some male turkeys in the field with their tails ruffed up. They must have warned the coyote off. Glad I had no fluffy white thing with me

4:37 pm

cool bichon, and good evening all

4:37 pm

Didnt you take the opportunity to get your thanksgiving dinner into the freezer!!

4:38 pm

wild turkeys are scary

4:39 pm

pythonx

once while camping, i went for a walk and stepped into a clearing at the exact same time as a coyote. it was magical. we both stopped and he watched to see what i would do. when i didn't move, he continued on his way.

4:39 pm

Deeha

I just happen to have a wild turkey feather on my wall- I have family in America and one found a load of feathers and gave me one for a souvenier ) i before e eeer!!)

Hello Everyone - just stopping in to say HI - anyone need help

6:53 pm

wht

Hi all

6:53 pm

Riverdance

hi wht

6:54 pm

Brookie

Hi everyone!

6:54 pm

Riverdance

hi brookie

6:54 pm

wht

Mom, do you have a clue for the is6,24? I have the one that describes sheets.

6:54 pm

Brookie

Hi mom!

6:55 pm

Riverdance

is + **** (4/6) pet

6:56 pm

wht

Thank you mom. That gives me fireworks.

6:56 pm

Riverdance

hooray for wht

6:57 pm

Brookie

yeah wht! (still working on the is6)

6:58 pm

wht

It is a seedy kind of pet, Brookie

6:58 pm

Riverdance

grows hair (weeds actually) that looks like an animal

6:58 pm

wht

I hear tell it grows on you.

6:59 pm

Riverdance

all kinds of animal shapes now - who knows there may be exotic ones too

6:59 pm

Brookie

Got it, thanks!

7:00 pm

Brookie

I was looking for pets like "dog", "bird,", and "ferret" (phantom) and wasn't get anywhere!

7:00 pm

Riverdance

I didnt want to give away the first two letters that easily - need anything else

7:01 pm

Brookie

I'm not even halfway through... unless you want to guess on all the remaining 112 words I'm missing and provide clues... haha

7:02 pm

LuvWordGames

is the ca 8/65 a compound word?

7:02 pm

wht

Mom, I got it right away - but I only needed the one word and had found the pet earlier.

7:02 pm

Riverdance

i'm done - just watching the chog while watching my biggest loser recording from last night

7:02 pm

wht

Brook, I see in your profile that you have two young boys. They probably get into a lot of mi8

7:03 pm

LuvWordGames

is the ca 8/65 a compound word?

7:03 pm

Brookie

great clue! actually, they're pretty good, but who knows what they'll think of when they get older!

7:04 pm

Riverdance

and not much they will ad5/14 to

7:05 pm

wht

the ca8 is not a compound.

7:05 pm

Riverdance

i would not say so

7:05 pm

wht

It would be the process of turning something into a ca4,5

7:05 pm

Riverdance

similar to classi****

7:06 pm

wht

My monkeys got lucky on it. Its the only way I would have found it.

7:06 pm

Riverdance

wht and I are a clue team

7:06 pm

Brookie

thanks mom, still working on that clue. i'm just so tired tonight that my brain's not functioning properly!

7:06 pm

LuvWordGames

thanks I'll work on those clues

7:06 pm

Riverdance

where you look for good deals for sale

7:07 pm

Riverdance

similar to that but work off of a former word

7:07 pm

wht

So a lawyer has a bunch of papers. He thinks that if he leaves them sit long enough they will become ca8 and he can take them to court.

7:08 pm

LuvWordGames

thanks got it finally!

waving to all

7:12 pm

Riverdance

havent met you yet

7:12 pm

Riverdance

another northeaster

7:14 pm

aknitter

hey trif have you ventured up to the pond?

7:14 pm

Trifioso

not personally, but gary and drew were there. NO BEACH at all, and apparently a chipmunk got in the basement. fun!

7:15 pm

aknitter

the lower road to peter's is flooded out. you cant even drive over there. little west has completely surrounded the legion building

7:16 pm

Trifioso

fun! well, it will likely dry out some before the summer. it always does.

7:17 pm

aknitter

quite a mess

7:17 pm

Trifioso

indeed

7:17 pm

Trifioso

how is the pond you live on?

7:18 pm

aknitter

high as an elephants eye! the river that the herring journey up from the canal is all over the place. i fear the fishies wont find their way this year

7:19 pm

Trifioso

break out the lemon herbs!

7:19 pm

aknitter

awww

7:20 pm

Trifioso

in other news, I threw my back out today in spectacular fashion. I have never hurt my back before, and MAN I am just in agony. my mom had to come over and help me and everything. I am trying to rest up tonight as much as I can, as I HAVE to work tomorrow....

7:20 pm

aknitter

you know you are getting much to old to be doing things like this. how did you do it?

7:21 pm

Trifioso

shoveling compost

7:21 pm

Riverdance

Trif - ice, ice, ice to take down the inflamation. Some ibuprofen will help.

7:21 pm

bichon

I know the feeling Trif, that stuff can be heavy

7:22 pm

Trifioso

I found a bottle of oxycontin from 2008 under my bathroom sink. that's helping too.

7:22 pm

aknitter

shoveling contin or codone???

7:22 pm

Riverdance

yes that will do it for pain

7:23 pm

Trifioso

contin, maybe? I forget now, and I am incapable of getting down under the sink again. I cannot believe how much this hurts.

7:23 pm

aknitter

if it is contin it will do you better in about 12 hours so be wary

7:24 pm

Trifioso

what does that mean, knitter?

7:24 pm

aknitter

that is a long acting form it takes awhile for it to work - tomorrow you will feel pain free

7:25 pm

aknitter

oxycontin is sustained release oxycodone is for immediate pain relief

7:25 pm

Trifioso

hang on....

7:25 pm

bichon

my hubby threw his back out trying to open a frozen shut garage door. He was on the couch for 6 weeks before the doctor gave him steroid shots

7:26 pm

Trifioso

six weeks? I have to be better tomorrow. I am getting nervous

7:26 pm

bichon

he had ruptured a disc. The selling had to go down before a shot would work

7:27 pm

Riverdance

i totally understand back pain - I have a disk issue and deal with it daily - Monthly visits to a chiropractor keep in in line. Be careful for several days Trif even though you feel better. Meds will mask the pain. Make sure you ice it. Heat feels good but ice will help with inflamation.

7:27 pm

Trifioso

it's oxycodone with acetaminophen

7:28 pm

Trifioso

thanks all

7:28 pm

Riverdance

i feel for you trif - back pain sucks

7:28 pm

bichon

why would you mix a narcotic with acetaminophen, just curious

7:28 pm

Trifioso

I am so grateful to not have had it before

7:28 pm

Trifioso

and I was having a great day up until then, too!

7:29 pm

Riverdance

the acetimnophen is probably a very mild anti-inflamatory

7:30 pm

bichon

I don't think so. It's Tylenol, a powerful pain reliever. Ibuprophen is an anti-inflammatory

7:31 pm

Riverdance

I dont really know - i dont use tylenol - good to have a well rounded group here to educate us all

7:31 pm

aknitter

that is percocet triff it is ok to take

7:32 pm

bichon

I know Tylenol as a fever reducer and a pain reliever. It's not a narcotic, but is very potent and must be taken with care

7:33 pm

Riverdance

must go now - need to pick up daughter at dance - may bbl - happy babbling

7:33 pm

aknitter

just dont operate any heavy machinery (cranes, forklifts etc)

7:35 pm

Trifioso

will do. I have to drive to work tomorrow, but I don't plan on taking any more meds, so should be okay? I can take it at night, but that's it

7:37 pm

aknitter

take it to sleep and see how you are in the morning. just be careful you don't over do at work and make it worse

7:37 pm

Trifioso

I don't have to lift anything at work, so it's all good.

7:37 pm

gapeach

May I please have a clue for mi6-27? Thanks.

7:37 pm

Trifioso

now, could I have a clue for the ca 8 please?

7:38 pm

8:04 pm

do you have a time frame you have to decide by?

8:04 pm

redturtlehead

I think it shall, I am surely hoping for it.

8:04 pm

redturtlehead

I need to see the offer, and decide I am still waiting, but I have low hopes about some things.

8:05 pm

bethn

I haven't seen you in a while red, is this the job youoriginally moved to FL that you are unhappy in?

8:07 pm

redturtlehead

not really. I was a contracted traveller, so I have been at a bunch of places. Right now things are a little bit tight even for nurses, so, its frustrating, but a very long long story, and not interesting.

8:07 pm

redturtlehead

errr DEDICATE is a big phantom.

me neighbour has a bird that lives on the screened in porch, it always whistles at me and the dog as we go by...its a little odd.

8:29 pm

Trifioso

gawd help us all! I would not go back to the teenage years for all the tea in china

8:30 pm

bethn

you have to try and stay as far away as you can with the teenage drama, Trif. Unless she is being stalkerish or otherwise criminal

8:31 pm

Trifioso

oh, red, you should see the cardinal in my yard! he sits in this tree and sings his head off all day, and the female cardinals in the yard could not give less of a shit. It is so funny! poor little cardinal boy.

8:31 pm

bethn

red, he probably just wants you to notice him. We used to have an african grey that would yell "Hey, Hi.Hey" at passersby until they would say hello to him. then he was fine

8:31 pm

Trifioso

bethn, she has def crossed into stalkerville. and primo's new gf is a BITCH.

8:31 pm

lbdawger

he's singing the wrong song! silly birdyboy

8:32 pm

redturtlehead

it's funny. the whistle...

8:32 pm

Trifioso

the cardinal one? Yes, it is a funny, loopy sort of song, isn't it?

8:33 pm

bethn

I'm sorry, that is really rotten, Trif. I was very lucky all my son's girlfriends have been lovely. We are hoping this one is THE one (much later please) she is a real gem

8:33 pm

rururocks

stalkerville is scary

8:33 pm

lbdawger

yes, the cardinal is singing the wrong song.

8:35 pm

bethn

hopefully the new girl will be bitchy enough to your son that he will tire of her quickly and make a better choice next time

8:35 pm

redturtlehead

grid is killing me!

8:35 pm

Trifioso

thanks bethn

8:35 pm

lbdawger

8:36 pm

Trifioso

8:37 pm

lbdawger

8:37 pm

redturtlehead

9:45 pm

gapeach

May I please have a clue for is6-24? Thanks.

9:45 pm

Pinikula

good clue, mkg

9:45 pm

stidmama

If I were to transfer to the other college in reasonable range I would lose some credits, and much of the work of the last 2 years would feel as if it were for nought.

9:45 pm

stidmama

YAY HARRY!!!!

9:46 pm

redturtlehead

thanks. mkg!

9:46 pm

Riverdance

9:46 pm

gapeach

Thanks much, Mom

9:46 pm

Riverdance

hang in there stid

9:46 pm

Pinikula

* waiting for more from stid *

9:46 pm

mkg

huh mom? what kind of pet?

9:46 pm

stidmama

BUT. If I stay, I feel I will have my heart sucked out through my nostrils. And my brain will dribble out my ears.

9:46 pm

Riverdance

the kind that grows hair (grass) all over it

9:47 pm

Pinikula

Stid...have you made a pro/con list?

9:47 pm

stidmama

If I decide to leave at the end of this school year, can I reasonably quit this program (thus rendering this particular quarter less stressful), and can apply to the other college in the hope that they will accept most of my credits...

9:48 pm

Riverdance

buy it in department stores on on tv ads

9:48 pm

mkg

dont recall the name.............hmmm lava pet? no...gava pet?

9:48 pm

stidmama

the pro is I won't have to deal with what amounts to educational malpractice and unprofessionalism...

9:48 pm

Riverdance

ch4/6 mkg

9:48 pm

Pinikula

that'd probably be the straw that breaks the camel's back for me, stid!

9:48 pm

stidmama

and the con is that I am halfway there, and after this quarter will actually be in the schools for 66% of the remaining time (and therefore not having to deal with the offending professors)

9:48 pm

Riverdance

oh stid - I dont know - how close are you to finishing

9:49 pm

mkg

ty. what about other is 6?

9:49 pm

Riverdance

same professors for next classes?

9:49 pm

mkg

and i got it as a ch 4.

9:49 pm

stidmama

I need to survive the next 7 weeks, and then I have a couple months off before I start my first student teaching.

9:49 pm

Pinikula

will 66% of the time offsite be worth the 34% of the unprofessionalism you'd have to deal with if you stayed?

9:50 pm

Riverdance

i + love those ***** sheets - ooow so slippery

9:50 pm

Pinikula

to finish timely?

9:50 pm

Pinikula

ts?

9:50 pm

Riverdance

I dont know - I would probably stick it out - you are so close - have a big break etc

9:51 pm

stidmama

I don't know, pini. I think I can survive ten weeks next year IF the offensive one isn't my field supervisor. If that one is, then I will just quit quit.

9:51 pm

mkg

silky sheets??????????why am i so dumb

9:51 pm

Riverdance

those were tough pini - ts _ lemon***

9:51 pm

Pinikula

can you change field supers???

9:51 pm

Pinikula

thx mom ;)

9:51 pm

mkg

t + opposite of happy + vowel and change vowel at end for other one.

9:51 pm

Pinikula

got the other, too ;)

9:51 pm

stidmama

the sheets clue is a type of fabric, not velvet, not silk, but very very smooth and pretty. I sa* down on the chair + opposite of out

9:51 pm

mkg

mom what kind of sheets?

9:52 pm

Riverdance

sa5/10

9:52 pm

stidmama

I don't know. The other college gives grad students 7 years to finish from the time they start. Evergreen theoretically would allow a student to take a break mid-stream if necessary, but I am told by people who have been in the program that there were no reasons (dying family members included) that were sufficient.

9:52 pm

mkg

ty got it. and the sa 5.

9:53 pm

stidmama

I have to finish in the two years they plan or know that I am just not going to finish.

9:53 pm

mkg

mi 6 27 needed first one please and the 6 21 after it.

9:53 pm

Riverdance

ts5/12 - just change the vowel on the end from the last one

9:53 pm

Pinikula

stid, can you talk with your dept head? that might be another resource for information to make a more informed decision...

9:54 pm

Riverdance

no stid - you finish when you finish - masters programs usually dont dictate time. If you finish sooner - all the power to you _ if later - not a problem

9:54 pm

stidmama

at least not finish there. I have a third alternative, to take a one-year certification course (could even do it by correspondence)

9:54 pm

redturtlehead

si 6 please?

9:54 pm

stidmama

the dept head is the problem... at least the lead teacher is. And I don't have the sense that my opinion counts for much with any of them.

9:55 pm

Riverdance

mi + very unhappy with a double cons

9:55 pm

Pinikula

what about the dean's office?

9:55 pm

stidmama

the purpose is to be a teacher, at this point I would settle for anything. I know I can do it.

9:55 pm

Pinikula

I know you can succesfully secure your Master's degree...I just wish you didn't have to deal with *(&$heads on the way!

9:56 pm

Riverdance

mi6/21 - same first three letters and past tense of eat

9:56 pm

gapeach

May I please have a clue for se6-24? Thanks.

9:56 pm

mkg

miserable? dont see it in grid........

9:56 pm

stidmama

thanks pini. me too.

9:56 pm

Riverdance

It just sucks when you try so hard to better yourself and some idiot gets in the way

9:57 pm

redturtlehead

no one has help with the si 6, 18?

9:57 pm

stidmama

Right now, I am very very seriously thinking of not showing up again this quarter.

9:57 pm

Pinikula

You know I can empathize, stid...I mean I work with some very annoying BHs; would be much happier if they were gone...

9:57 pm

stidmama

If I don't, I will let down some classmates. The alternative is for me to continue to meet my obligations to my classmates, knowing that I won't continue at the end of the year.

9:58 pm

stidmama

OR, I can just keep soldiering on and make them kick me out (but giving them no legitimate reason to do so)

9:58 pm

Pinikula

I don't, red :(

9:58 pm

stidmama

oops. my first word was a da 7... *sigh* I wasn't going to play!

9:58 pm

mkg

still need mi 6 27 first one please?

9:59 pm

Pinikula

Stid, does the pursuit and accomplishment outweigh the jerks making it difficult along the way?

9:59 pm

stidmama

si 6/18 dutch word for "saint?"

9:59 pm

Riverdance

si6/18 to do bad is to commit a *** + my boss was going to ***minate my job

9:59 pm

redturtlehead

ahhh thanks Mom needs!!!!

9:59 pm

stidmama

getting the piece of paper, and NOT attending the graduation would suffice... my goal is certification, not self-aggrandizement

9:59 pm

Pinikula

Hi Jilli! 117 left but only started less than 2 hrs ago...sleepy too...worked hard at our motorhome on Lake Anna, VA...rake, burn, dig, plant...sip some wine....snooze...then again the next day...rewarding tho!

11:10 pm

MPittore

Hi Pini!!!!

11:10 pm

GreedyJoseph

Not even close. :(

11:11 pm

Pinikula

Was thinking, if you finished, greedy, that you could bring me and jilli across the finish line...

11:11 pm

MPittore

I want a small grid...I think...sometimes those are tougher tho!

11:11 pm

Pinikula

But having said that...are you getting the hang of the game?

11:11 pm

Pinikula

(oh, and MP, too...but, well...)

11:11 pm

GreedyJoseph

Yeah.

11:11 pm

Pinikula

11:16 pm

Pinikula

11:17 pm

Pinikula

Greedy, Lickety's Babble Clues is the top link in the second column under Friends of Babble (below the grid and tile stats).

11:17 pm

MPittore

yep...never done nothin' like that in my life before...I told him it was my version of a Harley Davidson!!!!

11:17 pm

MPittore

vroom, vroom..........

11:17 pm

GreedyJoseph

I see it. :)

11:18 pm

Pinikula

If you right click on it and open it another window (resize your grid window to accommodate setting your clue list next to it), you can see a list containing the first 2 letters of all of the words in the grid, their length/point value. ;)

11:18 pm

Pinikula

Nice going, MP!!! LOL

11:18 pm

GreedyJoseph

Ah. Very nice.

11:19 pm

MPittore

Never going to finish this one...117 to go...it's all about the fun not the finish!

11:19 pm

Pinikula

to "load" it...just follow the directions (i.e., copy your "My Word List" and paste it into the "bulk add" window and press the button! :)

11:20 pm

Pinikula

that's right, MP!!! gotta love fun!!!

11:20 pm

GreedyJoseph

That is brilliant. Thank you.

11:20 pm

Pinikula

no problem, greedy...anytime! :)

11:21 pm

Pinikula

(that should hopefully explain how we know what to ask for) Like, does anyone have the first da7/36?

11:22 pm

GreedyJoseph

I had no idea what crazy code y'all were using. :)

11:22 pm

Pinikula

Well, glad I've turned another light bulb on! :)
