gremlinn

the second 7 was new to me

1:26 am

joshuavorbis

whenever you get those A N L T S tiles near each other it's a ride

1:26 am

joshuavorbis

this is huge!!!

3:14 am

rubyfoo

who is still here?

3:14 am

rubyfoo

I've only just begun

3:15 am

Sally-catlover

Hi ruby, I'm here but only for another 5 minutes before I go out.

3:15 am

rubyfoo

nice to say hello, anyway!

3:16 am

rubyfoo

some of the tulips I planted as pink or rose-colored per the package, seem to be coming up white!

3:16 am

Sally-catlover

The grid is pretty fast so far. Lots of easy words. Usually so with the big ones.

3:16 am

Sally-catlover

lol ruby. Well, white is pretty anyway.

3:16 am

rubyfoo

but I am very compulsive about my color scheme....alas

3:17 am

Sally-catlover

I was woken up at 6.30 hearing the sheep a bit nearer than usual, to find three mums with twins in our garden!

3:17 am

rubyfoo

did you get a photo?

3:17 am

Sally-catlover

One of the cats acted as a sheep-cat and helped me round them up :-)

3:17 am

rubyfoo

that is just too cute

3:18 am

Sally-catlover

lol, not on my mind at that time of the morning. Sheep are easy, the bull was a bit alarming and the pigs are just stupid.

3:18 am

Sally-catlover

The cat thinks she is a dog, I'm sure.

3:19 am

Sally-catlover

It's fun living in the country :-)

3:19 am

rubyfoo

do you have pigs or is it just a neighbor. They have a reputation as being smart. I guess not

3:20 am

rubyfoo

no farms around here but there are evidently "wild" animals, none of which I've seen : boar, foxes, chamois

A neighbour had small rare breed ones. They don't budge, I've learnt, unless you rattle a bucket with pig nuts in. (Or did you mean was my neighbour a pig?! :-) )

3:20 am

Sally-catlover

We had lots of wild boar coming through the property in Corsica.

3:23 am

rubyfoo

you lived in Corsica? It is one of my favorite places, although I only spent 3 wks there in 1979. Still drink Myrthe, [sp?] when I can get it!

3:23 am

Sally-catlover

No, holiday. Anyway, have 200 and must dash. See you later.

Hi, all - just checked London's weather on that site, Crossy. What a revelation - partly cloudy, partly cloudy, partly cloudy, cloudy, cloudy..

6:11 am

EspritdJean

I'm not gramma

6:11 am

6:11 am

Trifioso

LOL ...hello nancy! and bon matin esprit!

6:12 am

EspritdJean

hi tri

6:12 am

Nancy Boy

I wouldn't mind but it's not a five day forecast, more like a five month forecast ;)

6:12 am

Trifioso

oops - forgot to change up the profile photo....

6:13 am

crosshair

better stay over there then nb,anywhere else a sunbeam mat hit you and you will fry like an egg

6:14 am

Trifioso

okay, this photo cracked me up, but the caption might be too naughty for the chog -- consensus please?

6:15 am

crosshair

lol

6:15 am

EspritdJean

I LOVE IT!

6:15 am

Nancy Boy

LOL Trif!!!

6:15 am

Trifioso

okay then. it stays, for a bit anyway

6:15 am

Nancy Boy

I think that's fine, but where I live, "the eff word" is basically the building block of every sentence

6:15 am

EspritdJean

I mainly use it for therapeutic purposes NB

6:16 am

Trifioso

a woman at my office was having a FIT this week - and, honestly, rightly so - because her college roommate and her husband had their first child last month, and gave it the middle name "Effin" which they think is ***hilarious***

6:16 am

Nancy Boy

can quite understand the urge, Esprit...I do find cursing in a vehement and venemous fashion does make me feel better.

6:17 am

EspritdJean

human stupidity is a never ending source of wonder Tri

6:17 am

Trifioso

is rather too much....

6:18 am

Trifioso

enable doesn't take santa? what treachery is this!?

6:18 am

EspritdJean

proper noun silly girl

6:18 am

crosshair

id be swearing as well if my wife was humping my college room mate

6:18 am

EspritdJean

but you could try a different end vowel

6:19 am

Trifioso

ha ha crossy

6:19 am

Nancy Boy

In my old school, there was a family who gave their children middle names that were old family nicknames....which wouldn't have been too bad if "curly-wurly" hadn't gone into it. Poor kids.

6:19 am

Trifioso

oh, dog needs out. agony. be right back.

6:20 am

EspritdJean

that's too goofy, no wonder people need therapy

6:20 am

Nancy Boy

I know, right? Pr4s!

6:20 am

Nancy Boy

or in fact, just pr5, since it plurals itself ;)

6:20 am

EspritdJean

phantom parenteral

6:21 am

Nancy Boy

Oh no Esprit, I really want 'parent' now!

6:21 am

Nancy Boy

got the fatherly one though, and felt very proud

6:23 am

EspritdJean

one who fa5/16 should certainly be a fa**er

6:24 am

Nancy Boy

oh yes ;) but on that unsavoury note, I'm off to do hair and generally primp a bit - bbl!

6:25 am

EspritdJean

primping is fine, pimping not so much :-)

6:25 am

Trifioso

"parenteral" is a medical term, nancy. "parental" is the other one

6:26 am

Trifioso

crossy, you are sure to find this amusing -- primo's GF got a C on her report card, and her dad FLIPPED out and grounded her for the rest of the school year....she is only allowed to do school activities, nothing else. Primo and GF were in despair as to how they would see each other, when inspiration struck. Guess who just got parts in the school play, thus guaranteeing themselves parent-approved afternoons of leisurely rehearsal time?

6:27 am

Trifioso

I have to admit, I thought that was a pretty clever ploy.

6:29 am

mrpresident

6:40 am

mrpresident

Luke then got Whooping Cough! terrific February indeed

6:41 am

mrpresident

then I got broncitis for a couple of weeks, then broke my legs! I don't know who has cursed me, but I am not going without a fight!!

6:50 am

Trifioso

crossy, the best thing my step mom ever did was make sure both her boys worked in restaurants for at least one summer each. they are now amazing cooks, and believe me, the ladies notice!

6:50 am

Nancy Boy

6:56 am

bichon

13 y.o. girls are impossible

6:56 am

crosshair

ohh 13 year old girls are even worse..that why we leave them to our wives

6:57 am

mrpresident

hi bichon!! :)

6:57 am

Trifioso

oh, crossy, a memory stirs --- when I was in high school, I worked in a mall, and heard a mom and son arguing. He snarled "I didn't ask to be born you know!" and the BRILLIANT mom fired back - "well, if you had, the answer would have been NO!" I had to hide behind a shelf, I was laughing so hard

6:57 am

Riverdance

Good Morning everyone - oh are we talking teenagers this morning - got two of those myself

6:59 am

6:59 am

Riverdance

My daughter is so sweet in public - when we get home she turns into this evil demon

6:59 am

bichon

Yes, Trif I remember that phase. I keep reminding my daughter of that

7:00 am

Nancy Boy

I think my parents were spared a lot of grief when I was in school, because I had two names. If I'd done something naughty enough to warrant a phone call home, the head office would search and search for Jesse Kae's home number...but of course it was listed under my Korean name. Magic. Luckily, by the time they caught on, I was behaving myself a bit more ;)

7:00 am

Trifioso

crossy, did you see my earlier post about primo and his gf and the school play?

7:02 am

Trifioso

she was grounded by her folks for getting a c, and is only allowed to do school activities, no social outings. so they both got parts in the school play, assuring long afternoons of parent-approved rehearsal time. pretty clever, really

7:02 am

rubyfoo

at least he takes me out for lucnh -- often

7:02 am

crosshair

so=a type of iced treat

7:02 am

7:06 am

bichon

yes crossy, there's always the exceptions

7:07 am

mrpresident

8:25 am

MonkeyGames

Almost 5 months ago, Judi. He's OK now. His leg was shattered but it has healed well and he has even started gymnastics. He still has scar troubles and aches, and the leg is weak, but none of that is permamant and he's over the trauma.

8:26 am

Judi

Thank goodness the little copper penny haired boy is all better. That must have been very scarey for everyone!

Thanks, folks. We're out the other side of the whole thing now but I do still sometimes kind of fall apart about it when nobody's looking.... Walter wants to do a book about it so I'm working up some sample illustration styles for him to pick from. He wants other kids to read about it and learn. His idea. That's my boy!

8:31 am

8:34 am

MonkeyGames

Thanks, all, on both subjects! Yeah, after 3 temp jobs at the same time, here I am finally at rest at the Institute for War Documentation as receptionist and translator. And I am also proud of the little guy for thinking of the book. He'll tell the story and I'll illustrate it.

it's also very easy to customize, Scrabs. We had it in my old ICU unit for about 3 years before I left there. The hospitals can introduce it into each unit as they wish

9:14 am

Scrabbler

One hospital system in Buffalo uses GE Centricity.

9:14 am

Merk

I hope not; we're only just leaving the house. We won't get there until Sunday night.

9:14 am

Merk

We're hoping for no snow in the mt. passes.

9:15 am

robbie09

I hadn't thought of snow!

9:15 am

Nef

are you taking I-90 out, Merk?

9:15 am

Nef

or I-94?

9:17 am

Merk

Yes

9:17 am

robbie09

the dogs are barking, so i better let them out...be back la5/10!

9:18 am

Scrabbler

I need a break--almost halfway here.

9:18 am

Merk

I think we are with 94 maybe part of the way, but basically we'll pick up 90 20 miles north of here and stay with it, unless we take a shortcut around Belle Fouche

9:18 am

Nef

LOL! I-90 and I-94 turn into the same road in MT; I just was asking which you were starting on

Hi all! Diving right into this biggie.

9:29 am

Patxxx

I don't have enough time for the big grids. I am just getting up when the grid starts (6am here) so I turn it on and whilst I get going I knock off the easy words. When I can resume later in the day I kid myself that whatever is left is the size of the grid. There will be a break until after say 7pm when I start again and the grid is against a reduced one. I need my head examining cos I know the truth! Do they actually diagnose Babble Disease?

9:29 am

Patxxx

pant

9:30 am

hydra

I've got it too, Pat!

9:30 am

Patxxx

Sorry sorry sorry.

9:30 am

mymuseisme

Had it, weaned myself so I don't get too upset when I don't have the time to finish ... but that took a couple of years ;)

9:31 am

hydra

I have 260 words left to find and I should be working!

9:32 am

Patxxx

I weaned myself off the chat log because I couldn't do both AND sleep..

9:33 am

hydra

I just popped in quickly. Have found ten more words and now must go off to chemist as I have rotten earache! See you later.

9:35 am

Nef

Patxxx, I had to wean myself by forcing myself to leave grids unfinished so I could sleep. Now I don't worry so much if I don't finish; and I usually enjoy chat more than the grid

9:36 am

Nef

feel better soon, hydra!

9:36 am

mymuseisme

hi Nef!

9:36 am

Nef

hi mymuse! Haven't seen you for a while.

9:37 am

Nef

I know how that goes

9:38 am

mymuseisme

are you on FB?

9:38 am

mymuseisme

I usually play a few there ... helps with my addiction here if I don't have time lol

9:38 am

Nef

yes, but I'm not a big FB fan.

9:39 am

Patxxx

I was too stupid to remember to NOT type clues in the chat log box as I have ably demonstrated already. So the log had to go, well not completely.

9:39 am

Patxxx, I'm ALWAYS entering words (or almost words) into chat and chat into the word box

9:41 am

mymuseisme

scramble, packrat, etc.

9:41 am

Nef

see? there's WAY too much going on at FB!

9:42 am

mymuseisme

lol yes, but I can say hello there to a lot of Babblers if I can keep their monikers/real names straight in my head

9:43 am

Nef

and I can't seem to do that, mymuse. :-)

9:44 am

mymuseisme

not too much for me either ... that's why I keep it on my profile to help everyone else.

9:46 am

Patxxx

Nef, My cat is cleverer than me. She monkeyed a word once and I still look at her in wonder. I almost changed her name from Coco to Babble but shouting Babble late at night could be dangerous!

9:46 am

Nef

I have mine on my profile too; but others don't and that's where I get confused

9:47 am

mymuseisme

LOL Patxxx, that's cute

9:47 am

Nef

Patxxx, can I borrow her sometime? My dog just wants attention and doesn't ever try monkeying

9:48 am

mymuseisme

I will try and post it in my status ... see if that gets some to do it.

9:48 am

9:51 am

mymuseisme

see Pat I do it too lol

9:52 am

Patxxx

Nef, Coco the cat I spoke about is nicknamed Empress Victoria. She is so imperious. I have another cat and a Labrador and she has both under control. Pedro, tiger tom cat, appears to taste her foor for her then moves away when she wants to eat and he's a real toughie elsewhere. The Lab, Oscar, just gives in to whatever she wants. Thanks mymuse.. I would NEVER finish if babblers didn't occasionally lapse.

9:53 am

Patxxx

Nef: Food if the word.

Well, there is still a lock down on flights in the UK and various other places in North Europe but a plane passed overhead about one and a half hours ago. I'm in the North of England, near Leeds. Anyone else seen one?

11:58 am

You are welcome

they announced this morning that one plane got out of Prestwick bound for Toronto and a couple of flights landed in Manchester

12:00 pm

My niece was supposed to fly to Africa this morning, no news of when she can go

12:02 pm

It is so disappointing when you save up all year for your holiday and then it is cancelled thru no fault of your own

12:02 pm

cybernan

our news was that of over 28,000 flights landing daily in European airports, over 17,000 had been cancelled

12:03 pm

caitlyn

Some agencys are saying its an act of God and are not willing to pay compensation

12:03 pm

Norma

It is on the news at the moment that we will have shortages of food that needs to be brought by air .. eg bananas and fruits with a short shelf life ... another excuse for the prices to go thru the roof

12:04 pm

firefly779

Oh, i didn't realize the eruption was affecting so much - just saw a blurb in today's paper, but didn't read it. I suppose I should have!

12:05 pm

You are fortunate firefly the wind is blowing the ash away from you, it is covering most of Europe

12:05 pm

I feel for all those that are stranded abroad possibly running out of money

Yesterday, it was sooo quiet -I live about 1.5 miles from Leeds/Bradford Airport. But it has never bothered me so I guess we are not in the landing and take-off path. The scary bit was hardly no birds to be seen or heard yesterday and a subdued dog. Although how it's possible to tell if a Labrador is subdued I haven't the faintest. Stop and within seconds he's at rest or asleep UNLESS you are packing food then he just begs and begs with huge sad eyes. The cats, well I wouldn't ever know what they are thinking except, once again, FEED ME! FEED ME!

I know how you feel Bichon but the way our weather is we could be frezing tomorrow. I'm sure I heard a ground frost warning earlier. Never can tell here. In fact they were warning of snow a few days ago. Plays havoc with your wardrobe. Sometimes my style is 'YES I DID get dressed in the dark'.

smooth_pappa

I do have a favorite team, but they aren't that good right now... and I don't live near them, so I don't get to watch them very often... But I'm a St. Louis Blues fan through and through

4:22 pm

Riverdance

sa + double cons

4:22 pm

Nancy Boy

Mmmmhmm, and a teletubbies plaster ;) although I think they're called band aids in America. Or that might be something else entirely!

4:22 pm

Riverdance

4:23 pm

Riverdance

clue for the at6 please

4:23 pm

Nancy Boy

4:24 pm

Riverdance

4:24 pm

MizHoffle

My hometown has a minor league team that I am partial to

4:25 pm

Riverdance

duh - thanks pappa

4:25 pm

Nancy Boy

oddly enough it's gone straight across my lifeline. Hope that's not an omen!

4:25 pm

Riverdance

yeah - A's are done

4:25 pm

smooth_pappa

no prob

4:26 pm

Nancy Boy

thanks, pappa, I got that too :)

4:26 pm

Riverdance

of course not - most common area to cut - just keep that pressure while waiting for the doc

4:27 pm

Riverdance

brb - need a beverage

4:27 pm

smooth_pappa

I got a nasty cut across my palm a couple of years ago... that one bled bad, too. And it's such an easy place to iritate too. It tok a while for mine to completely heal

4:27 pm

kje

last ne5/10?

4:28 pm

smooth_pappa

NE + I studied the liberal a***

4:28 pm

o-o

rhymes with car rental h*****

4:28 pm

kje

ty

4:29 pm

Nancy Boy

that's the problem, Pappa - if I close my hand into a fist to keep pressure on it, the way the cut moves completely turns me over. I'm not good with blood - having to hold my hand above my head, to the amusement of everyone else here ;)

4:29 pm

smooth_pappa

hey babble!

4:30 pm

o-o

hello, smooth-papa

4:30 pm

periwinkle

smooth, is that you in the picture?

4:32 pm

kje

ok, down to 50... will be back later to finish

4:32 pm

smooth_pappa

when I cut mine, I was working for a pharmacy at the time. I was at my apartment, and on my way to ork when it happened... so I ran back up, and used some peroxide to clean it, but I was out of bandages... so I took some paper towels, wrapped my hand in that and drove across town to work, where I was able to get all the bandages I needed.

4:32 pm

periwinkle

soory to hear about your hand, NB. hope it heals quickly

4:32 pm

smooth_pappa

Hi peri! yup, that's me!

4:33 pm

periwinkle

nice picture, smooth, nice to place a face with a name. that is me in my photo too

4:33 pm

smooth_pappa

thanks! I did that with a self timer, and if you look at it larger, it's a little out of focus, but a thumbnail doesn't look to bad.

4:33 pm

Nancy Boy

how did you do it, Pappa? you must be pretty good with blood and like - I don't think I'd trust myself to drive!

4:34 pm

Nancy Boy

Thanks, Peri ;) gets me off work!

4:34 pm

smooth_pappa

I realized that I'd never really used a picture o myself in a profile, and when I came back a couple months ago, I decided to use this one

4:34 pm

gramma

Work is done, back to the grid.

4:35 pm

Pappa - you would be my daughters dream mentor - photography and the arts

* Why do most people have trouble obtaining blood transfusions in Taiwan?
* Because they only have Taipei.

4:36 pm

smooth_pappa

oh man! nancy, that's a bad question... it's a little scary to think about. I was throwing a bag of garbage into the dumpster in my parking lot, slipped on a patch of ice, and when I fell towards the dumpster, I reached out to keep from falling, and grabbed a sharp edge on the dumpster. I should have probably gone to the hosipital to make sure it was really disinfected... but I id use a lot of peroxide, so I figured , at the time, it would be enough.

4:36 pm

Riverdance

NB - take a few days off and be babied for the weekend by leo

4:36 pm

Nancy Boy

LOL BR!

4:36 pm

smooth_pappa

lol thanks mom :)

4:36 pm

Riverdance

thats what she wants to go to college for - photography first and arts second

4:38 pm

4:38 pm

Nancy Boy

Eww! oh yes, wish I hadn't asked now ;) I feel like a bit of a baby for coming to A&E (I think that's ER in the US) but work made me. And I'm too much of a sissy to stand up without passing out!

4:38 pm

smooth_pappa

SO7: It's a food crop... another word for it is edemame

4:38 pm

Nancy Boy

when I had a bad cut, I mean...not generally.

4:39 pm

Riverdance

Im just worried she wont be able to find a job in that field but you know = she needs to go into what she loves so I will help her anyway I can

4:39 pm

smooth_pappa

HA! that's a nice clarifier, nancy... now I have this image of you, just faling back fown very time you stand up. :P

4:39 pm

sammysmom

help....... (whine) need a clue for the 2nd la 7/28

4:39 pm

smooth_pappa

4:40 pm

MPittore

93 left....hi NB long time no talk....I've been travelling alot hope this finds you and Leo well!

4:40 pm

smooth_pappa

sammy: it's another word for toilet

4:40 pm

sammysmom

4:40 pm

Riverdance

sammy - its an army toilet

4:40 pm

Nancy Boy

Hi, MPitt! Thanks for asking, Leo and I are both great :) where have you been travelling?

4:40 pm

smooth_pappa

Mom: for example, I do fine art photography, but I could never make a living at it... now, a substantial part of my income comes from doing product photography for a catalog

4:41 pm

smooth_pappa

Hi Nef... I'm sorry to hear it!!

4:41 pm

Boobear

found the so7

4:41 pm

Riverdance

maybe photo journalism

4:42 pm

Nancy Boy

ugh, Nef, that's how they get you! I'm so glad I don't have my car anymore...don't miss it; don't need it!

4:42 pm

smooth_pappa

A lot of artists also find nice work doing things like web design o other graphic design... though photojournalism would be a fun one to pursue!

4:42 pm

o-o

pictures generally have a close resemblance to what the camera is aimed at.

4:42 pm

Riverdance

she was just accepted into a special art festival for high school juniors at the NH Institute of Art - hopefully they can introduce her to many areas of her art

4:43 pm

jacq

hello everybody

4:43 pm

Nancy Boy

hi, Jac!!

4:43 pm

o-o

Hello, jacq

4:43 pm

smooth_pappa

Generally, babble... though what I've been trying to focus on lately, in my own art, is using a photograph as a canvas to really create the visual concept I have in mind

4:43 pm

Riverdance

Boo can you give us a clue for that so7

4:43 pm

jacq

4:59 pm

speedfreak

4:59 pm

smooth_pappa

y problem is that I can spell, but I am really bad at making typos... from time to time, when I am working a grid early in the morning... before work and before coffe... I have tried to enter word two or three times, but keep typoing it. :0

5:00 pm

MizHoffle

I am totally guilty of the typo, but I don't have time of day or lack of caffeine to fall back on! :)

5:00 pm

smooth_pappa

5:01 pm

smooth_pappa

lol... the fun of the internet... inflection and intent can be completely subjective, depending on who's reading it.

5:01 pm

speedfreak

Now, I must get the waking kiddos from nap. Happy babbling and good job to all that finished this massive puzzle and good luck to all who are still going at it

I don't care how you clue the word as long as I get it LOL

5:03 pm

MPittore

Sorry miz...I am usually quite good at spelling and grammar but the clues are done quickly and usually people playing the game pick up the clues quickly but we don't fret over much here...it's all about the fun so no offense taken...glad to bring it to my attention...but it will probably happen again as we are typing so fast and furious esp on this big grid...

5:03 pm

smooth_pappa

Trifioso

yes, prob you are right, scrabbler.

7:07 pm

Trifioso

okay. got the list. right away, another 8, which somehow hid from me all picking day. I think my biggest problem is that I don't tend to pay much heed to the list of words I have entered, and thus miss a lot of obvious plurals and extensions. DUH

8:28 pm

pk

i thought maybe lynx, but someone is interested in adopting her

8:28 pm

I had a shitpoo before Stew and he was much more active

8:28 pm

pk

if it works out, she will go there, and then i can get another old girl off the farm

8:31 pm

herinfernallady

PK are they ex racers or what?

8:31 pm

pk

yes, all ex-racers, but i have a soft spot for ex-racers who were then used for breeding

8:32 pm

pk

by the time they are done having puppies, they are so old most people don't consider adopting them

8:32 pm

herinfernallady

Lynxx so you used to have a floor mop?

8:32 pm

lynxxx

Yes - we had only had smaller dogs before
