12:57 am

Douglas

I don't have any co words, but I just found 2 w's

NonnieLight

co4 = bovine ending in sometimes vowel

There's a particularly Aussie word in the grid, sandyloo

1:10 am

sandyloo

hmm , what will it be? I'll find it soon I just started- small grid but no doubt it will be difficult

1:10 am

sandyloo

I see it!

1:11 am

sandyloo

believe it or not , we do use that term all the time when we are finding each other on the farm

1:12 am

Douglas

It was a new word for me. I learned something today. I don't learn something new every day. In fact, I have days when I forget things I learned

1:13 am

sandyloo

I am surprised that it is actually an acceptable word

1:13 am

gapeach

I really hate to do this but I am so sleepy.....may I please have a clue for fo4-7? Thanks

1:14 am

jillibus

It's familiar to me -- my mother and aunts used it all the time -- their parents were Aussies

1:15 am

Douglas

Times New Roman, Helvetica, Verdana

jillibus

1:39 am

Barb's Horses

hmmm I am not doing so great on this one

1:39 am

sprite

really small grids are often sneaky and tight

1:39 am

Douglas

What this grid lacks in size it makes up for in anger

1:40 am

sandyloo

Nicky's shoulder operation failed and she had another one which seems to be sticking! However she fainted one day when it was over 40c and fell on the path and got burnt really badly. She spent nearly a month in hospital with very bad burns-

1:40 am

o-o

this one is a pattern grid

1:40 am

Barb's Horses

1:41 am

A pattern grid, BR?

1:41 am

sandyloo

Jilli, Her mother is suffering too but she is well on the way to recovery now and is the best she has been for a long time\

1:41 am

sprite

oh how awful, sandy, I am so sorry! How is she doing now? And how are you yourself?

1:42 am

sandyloo

Sprite, I have felt so stressed over it all but now I am a lot better too, I can even smile again

1:43 am

jillibus

It must have been hell

1:43 am

o-o

words having the same ending

1:43 am

sandyloo

Sprite, I have a new computor that's why I'm back , my old one was giving me hell/(as well as nicky Jilli)

1:43 am

sprite

have thought of you both a lot. Already thought things might be bad, because we didn't see either of you anymore. *hugs* to you both, and all good vibes I can stir up!

1:43 am

o-o

quite a few ie and y endings

1:44 am

sprite

indeed, BabbleRabble.

1:44 am

jillibus

sandy, I have a new laptop and IT has been giving me hell! Windows 7 is so different from XP, and my favourite mail program is incompatible

1:45 am

sandyloo

I am glad to see that most of you are still here, I feel bad that I have not been playing but I felt too bad and didn't want to complain to you all. Now I don't need to complain!

1:46 am

sprite

all those new Window versions are confusing. Am so happy with my XP pro, lol.

1:46 am

sandyloo

Jilli, I have windows 7 but not for long enough to know about it yet

1:46 am

jillibus

Nice to have you back, sandy

1:46 am

sprite

sandy, it is wonderful to see you again. You are always welcome in chog, also if you need to vent, btw!

1:47 am

sandyloo

it's really nice to be back but I know how much time it wastes....but it's worth it

1:47 am

rururocks

time is ...well.. relative

1:47 am

flosey

ready for tomorrow, now off to bed, goodnight all

1:48 am

sprite

hehehe play as relaxation and it won't be a waste of time.

1:48 am

1:49 am

Barb's Horses

what would you like to know? I have had them both for about 41/2 years now they are approx. 9 and 10 years old

1:49 am

sprite

as a friend of mine always said: we all have time. We have 24 hours a day. All the rest is a matter of priorities.

1:49 am

Barb's Horses

1:49 am

rururocks

1:50 am

Barb's Horses

they are 1/4 horse crosses of some sort

1:51 am

sprite

what is your view on time, ruru?

1:51 am

sandyloo

I love horses with a bit of quarter horse , I think it gives them a brain

1:52 am

Barb's Horses

they black and white paint is possibly crossed with a thoroghbred he likes to think he is the leader of the pack....someone forgot to tell him he is now fixed LOL

1:52 am

sandyloo

My view on time is that everyday should be a year long, then I could enjoy life for a longer time

1:52 am

sprite

lol sandy

1:53 am

sandyloo

That means more eating , drinking wine

1:53 am

graham000

1:53 am

Barb's Horses

1:55 am

FMitch

1:55 am

sandyloo

My daughter wants a big warmblood which are very popular here for dressage. I prefer something smaller with less distance to fall

1:55 am

Barb's Horses

very little these days...had a bad fall of the black almost 3 years ago...it may of been the cause that started my FM of so bad. I can only last about 15 - 20 mins in the saddle

1:56 am

jillibus

1:57 am

FMitch

The gird is not too bad for those who have babbled for ver as it has quite a few babblets and familiar words.

1:57 am

caitlyn

Your ty4/7 has just sent you to the pb FM

1:58 am

sandyloo

Speak for yourself FM, I have forgotten all of those words

1:58 am

2:03 am

Barb's Horses

I guess I should try and get some sleep nice talking to you sandy

2:03 am

sandyloo

see you again barb

2:03 am

rubyfoo

I thought I did something wrong, didn't notice the time, fighting with mr. nasty already, over breakfast today.....

2:03 am

Barb's Horses

night all (hugs) to all

2:03 am

sprite

a little better, rubyfoo, thanks for asking. Patience wearing thin, but hey, that is the true test of patience, right? How are you?

2:03 am

caitlyn

Bye for now Barb see you soon

2:03 am

jillibus

night, barb -- have a good sleep

2:04 am

sprite

night Barb

2:04 am

jillibus

patience about what, sprite?

2:04 am

sprite

getting well again, jilli, and feeling better.

2:05 am

rubyfoo

everything could be so wonderful here.....

2:06 am

rubyfoo

no matter what I say, the first thing out of his mouth is "no", even if he agrees with me (rare....)

2:06 am

sprite

better suit the questions to the answer then, rubyfoo... ask "Do you object?" Nooooo.

2:07 am

rubyfoo

hahah

2:07 am

jillibus

ruby, he sounds like a Republican

2:07 am

caitlyn

Great response sprite

2:08 am

jillibus

sprite, I'm sure that requires an awful lot of patience -- hand in there

2:09 am

sprite

will do, jilli, thanks. Having people who care helps!

2:09 am

caitlyn

ruby has he always been like that or is it a mid life change?

2:09 am

rubyfoo

I think he was, but we don't discuss politics! Yesterday, he was arguing whether a beautiful huge colorful bee was a bee or a hornet. I rescued it and he said "hornet". I wikied it and it was definitely a lovely bumblebee or honeybee or African honeybee but didn't say anything. I did an "ata" smugness. This morning, I told him and he said that wiki was totally unreliable!

2:10 am

jillibus

I meant hang in there, of course -- glad you understand ty4nese

2:10 am

rubyfoo

we've only been married 12 years, together more than 20, but he was always difficult. I think his age, 84, is changing him and he's getting worse, more forgetful and even nastier.

2:10 am

rururocks

he needs to volunteer somewhere ..

2:10 am

sprite

hehehe rubyfoo, for some men it is hard to say "I was wrong"

2:10 am

jillibus

Some people just have to be right all the time

2:11 am

rubyfoo

he "volunteers" to do the food shopping and cut the grass; those are big pluses!

2:11 am

sprite

for some women too, btw

2:11 am

rururocks

I am usually left all the time...

2:12 am

jillibus

Aww, ruru!

2:12 am

caitlyn

lol ruru

2:12 am

jillibus

last word, un5/12...

2:12 am

rubyfoo

this is a hard little grid! I would have liked a big, leisurely one today

2:12 am

sprite

that is a respectable age, rubyfoo. Am sorry he is nasty. What can you do to improve things?

2:12 am

rururocks

wow.. this is a stinker of a grid

2:13 am

sprite

jilli: loosen your shoes?

2:13 am

jillibus

Finito!

2:13 am

rubyfoo

nothing much. I try to take care of him but it isn't easy with somebody like that. And he's deaf, besides, so conversation is at a minimum

2:13 am

sprite

wtg jillibus! One stinker down!

2:14 am

caitlyn

Congrats jilli!

2:14 am

rubyfoo

congrats, jilli!

2:14 am

rubyfoo

the first 10 were easy! lol

2:14 am

rururocks

get him active doing something new ruby that he likes

2:14 am

jillibus

Funny, I didn't find it too bad. Maybe because it didn't have a lot of long words.

2:14 am

sprite

sounds like you need to find someone to babysit him for one day in the week, rubyfoo, or even just an afternoon, so you can do something for yourself and get a breather.

2:14 am

jillibus

I did a lot of guessing.

2:15 am

rururocks

(jillibus : New babble savant!)

2:15 am

rubyfoo

sometimes I go to an afternoon movie with a friend, that's helpful

2:15 am

sprite

you are one smart lady, jilli. And well versed in babblisms, babblets and monkey business.

2:15 am

caitlyn

My monkeys guessed more than me !!

2:15 am

jillibus

ruru has a great sense of humour

2:15 am

rubyfoo

maybe he could find a girlfriend!

2:15 am

rururocks

emphasis on monkey business

2:15 am

sprite

lol rubyfoo! Wouldn't that be great.

2:15 am

rubyfoo

same silly co5 word as yesterday!

2:16 am

jillibus

lol ruby and ruru for different reasons!

2:16 am

sprite

hold it, rubyfoo, not silly for our aussie babblers!

2:16 am

jillibus

It's not silly, ruby -- a useful call in OZ

2:16 am

rubyfoo

but yestyerday there was also an s version

2:16 am

sprite

cait, be sweet to your monkeys then! Extra bananas.

2:17 am

jillibus

Speaking of bananas...time for my goodnight snack

2:17 am

jillibus

Anyone want clues?

2:17 am

caitlyn

They have had them sprite, but they like them with sugar on the top LOL

2:17 am

rubyfoo

I thought it was a thank you for your monkeys!

2:17 am

sprite

milk and banana... go for it, jilli. And hurry back ;)

2:18 am

jillibus

ruby, the s version is useful for pig farmers

2:18 am

sprite

and that co has 2 spellings today

2:18 am

rubyfoo

facto

2:18 am

sprite

ipse facto, indeed. But not valid.

2:18 am

jillibus

I have to go to bed at a reasonable hour, sprite!

2:18 am

caitlyn

Time I had my shower and started the day, hope everyone has a good day/night.See you later, bye

2:19 am

rubyfoo

uh uh, not a word but pb anyway, maybe there's some coffee

2:19 am

jillibus

bye cait!

2:19 am

rubyfoo

bye caitlyn

2:19 am

rururocks

I'll nail those last ten in the a.m.

2:19 am

sprite

you are right, jilli, as usual, and wise. Sleep well, dear lady, and dream of pleasant things!

2:19 am

rubyfoo

gd night, ruru

2:19 am

rururocks

2:20 am

sprite

2:21 am

rururocks

:D

2:21 am

sandyloo

nite rur

2:21 am

sandyloo

nite jilli

2:21 am

rubyfoo

hi sandy

2:22 am

Douglas

Hmm...not only is a player for the Twins in the grid, but he's a word, too!

2:22 am

sandyloo

sprite, is terra as much fun as you anticipated?

2:23 am

rubyfoo

hello douglas -- only know the mets!

2:24 am

sprite

even more, sandy. He is so funny and sweet. He can make me laugh even if I feel awful and down, and he is full of silly surprises all the time. He is innocent and curious and brave and cuddly... ok will stop here. You can guess the rest :)

2:24 am

rubyfoo

he sounds like a wonderful dog, sprite!

2:25 am

sprite

fireflies. Not so very tough grid, but it helps to know babblets.

2:25 am

Douglas

Ozzie Guillen, manager of the White Sox, called him "a little piranha"

2:25 am

sandyloo

Sprite! Has he chewed things up, dug holes, got into the rubbish , killed the neighbours chooks..... anything bad?

2:26 am

sprite

he is, rubyfoo!

2:26 am

rubyfoo

uh oh, dreaded footsteps; I had better get dressed. See you later

2:27 am

jillibus

bye for now, ruby!

2:27 am

sprite

hmz... chewed up one chair and one pouffe. Dug holes under fence until my love put in chicken wire. He rubbed noses (nose to beak, actually) with a baby magpie, but never tried to bite. His worst habit is chewing up paper and eating it.

2:27 am

Douglas

TTFN, rubyfoo

2:28 am

sandyloo

Some dogs got onto our property and killed our lovely little pet sheep. Bruce was away and I had to dig a huge hole and bury it. But I caught one o the dogs and took it to the pound. It'

2:28 am

sprite

well, that and rolling in anything dead and/or stinking

2:28 am

sprite

bye rubyfoo

2:28 am

sprite

aw sandy that is sad

2:28 am

sandyloo

Its owner got in touch with the pound and handed the other dog in. It was very sad, but they had to be put down because once they kill, they keep doing it

2:29 am

sprite

doubly sad :(

2:29 am

sandyloo

Well he sounds pretty perfect Sprite if that's all he's done.

2:30 am

sandyloo

Really sad Sprite because I felt soooo guilty about it, but these dogs also chased the horses and there was no choice

2:30 am

jillibus

that's awful about those dogs and the sheep -- so sad.

2:31 am

sprite

yep, nothing big or terrible. We once came downstairs in the morning to find him in the midst of a paper explosion. My love had left a carton box with old paper on the floor... Terra found it and had a ball with it. He was sitting in the middle of the mess and looking soooo smug :D

2:31 am

sprite

no I can see that, sandy. If that instinct to kill is activated, what else can one do?

2:32 am

sandyloo

I think the people really loved the dogs and that made it worse but really there was no choice

2:34 am

meliae

41 words! good grief

2:34 am

jillibus

Sprite, be careful about the paper thing. My m-i-l lost a lovely English Setter because he ate sowm leftover icecream, carton and all, that he found in the garbage. It jammed up his innards and surgery was too late.

2:34 am

kimmtoats

clue for to5-22, please.

2:34 am

meliae

I just dont know if I Have the time to do such a huge grid

2:34 am

sprite

Bye all, thanks for the fun!

2:35 am

evening all

2:42 am

Douglas

Good evening girlie

2:42 am

Douglas

I bet she's never had a backstreet guy
I bet her momma never told her why

2:43 am

girlie

I already hate this grid

2:46 am

Douglas

I got past halfway a while back, and decided to go to Lickety's clues

2:46 am

sandyloo

going to have something to eat be back later

2:47 am

Douglas

I just clued something, girlie, if that helps...

2:48 am

girlie

haha, thanks, took me a while to figure it out

2:50 am

meliae

shes living in a down**** world!

2:50 am

meliae

I didnt get the clue until I found the word lol

2:51 am

Douglas

There are two baseball players in the grid, one currently playing for the Twins, one who once played for the Astros.

2:51 am

Douglas

I have nbt! and one word left!

2:52 am

girlie

nbt?

2:53 am

meliae

NBT = no blank tiles

2:53 am

Douglas

no blank tiles, where one has at least one word from every tile. I consider it an accomplishment if I get to nbt and get half of the words without assistance

2:55 am

Douglas

The player for the Twins in the grid has a .248 lifetime batting average

2:55 am

girlie

ahhhhh, excellent going :)

2:55 am

girlie

7 left

2:58 am

Douglas

The player for the Astros in the was nicknamed "The Toy Cannon," as he hit for significant power despite his short stature

3:00 am

meliae

~ Firewords ~ what an onery little grid

3:00 am

Douglas

I recall there being a seat in the upper deck of the Astrodome with a cannon painted on it, to commemorate an extra-long home run this player hit

3:01 am

Douglas

291 career home runs is certainly nothing to sneeze at

3:02 am

girlie

and we have fireworks

3:02 am

Douglas

Congrats meliae - btw, do you use onery on a regular basis. I use ornery, and didn't realize onery was a word until I started Babbling

3:02 am

girlie

meliae, I agree

3:02 am

Douglas

Yay girlie!

3:03 am

Douglas

*basis?*

3:05 am

Douglas

How about you, girlie? Do you say "onery" or "ornery?"

3:33 am

girlie

ornery :)

3:38 am

rubyfoo

I agre with you, douglas, nbt and half is fine with me. When I do better, it's just gravy!

3:52 am

periwinkle

really stuck, going back to bed, hopefully to get some sleep, bye for now

3:52 am

Nancy Boy

I am DEFINITELY a night time person, FMitch. It's not right for the sun to be so bright in the morning. There's something about being up before 10am that makes me feel just plain ILL, lol

3:52 am

Nancy Boy

yes Peri, go to bed!!

3:52 am

FMitch

TTFN peri and sweet dreams.

3:54 am

Nancy Boy

Oh no FMitch...what time did you surface today?

3:55 am

FMitch

5.30 :(

3:55 am

FMitch

But on the upside have got so much done that I can rest on my laurels this afternoon.

FMitch

So long as the laurels are not too prickly :)

3:58 am

4:47 am

Nancy Boy

4:49 am

Andree

maybe they are getting past the glances to the real person

4:51 am

Nancy Boy

that's slightly novel for London, Andree ;)

4:52 am

herinfernallady

That makes life a lot easier Nancy

4:53 am

Nancy Boy

5:19 am

herinfernallady

http://tinyurl.com/c8f5nn This is the other one but I want to meld the heart together with my b.fs first name initial which symbolises when my friend died (he had the same first name initial) my heart was broken but my b.f then mended it.

The green circle is Type O Negatives band symble

how are you ?

7:00 am

Anniebrook

hello everyone

7:00 am

Anniebrook

thanks une for the ac6

7:00 am

Riverdance

hi annie

7:01 am

herinfernallady

Hi Annie

7:01 am

Anniebrook

hi herin and momneeds

7:04 am

PinnyPoppins

I can offer clues for the other 6's if anyone wants?

7:06 am

Anniebrook

Hi pinny, I just started so I will hang in there. Nasty little grid.

7:06 am

Mr Bob

Good morning folks

7:06 am

Riverdance

hi mr bob

7:07 am

Riverdance

it is a nasty little grid - nasty word too

7:10 am

Anniebrook

hi mr bob

7:11 am

Trifioso

hello friends. man, this grid is making me cross!

7:11 am

FMitch

yes the c4 word does crop up from time to time unfotunately.

7:11 am

Riverdance

hi trif - you got that right

7:12 am

Trifioso

one of my students said it by accident the other day - she is a very young girl, and does not know all her vowel combinations quite yet. "count" came out VERY wrong

7:12 am

Anniebrook

HI FM! Didnt see the c4--hate that word

7:12 am

FMitch

I found looking at it sidewase helped :)

7:12 am

FMitch

Hello Annie.

7:13 am

Riverdance

and the laugh was stuck in your throat

7:13 am

Anniebrook

When my son was very very young and working on his speech he said F**k when he came off the bus...I was upset and called the Resource Teacher and she asked me if he pronounced it correctly.

7:13 am

Riverdance

I remember my son trying to say fire truck when he was learning to talk

7:16 am

Trifioso

oh dear!

7:16 am

FMitch

lol but I have to admit I hate the way the F word has become common usage. I am not a prude and feel there are so many other wonderful words that could be used instead.

7:16 am

Anniebrook

Lazy language.

7:17 am

FMitch

Guess that what makes me a babbler *grin*

7:17 am

Trifioso

fmitch, I have that discussion with the fry all the time! The F word makes the speaker sound less intelligent that they are, and I emphasize how many other words are more effective. Like "syphallitic druid" - THAT is a good insult!

7:18 am

Riverdance

taking notes

7:18 am

FMitch

LOL Trif. great words there!

7:18 am

Anniebrook

LOL, Trif...have to remember that insult

7:19 am

FMitch

syphallictic druid is going to have so much more impact than the F word!

7:20 am

Trifioso

"myrmidon" is another favorite - they were greek warriors that followed their leader blindly, no matter what, like robots.

7:22 am

Riverdance

woohoo - first two columns grayed

7:23 am

Trifioso

and my theory is, when you whiff such a word in4 an argument, right away you have thrown the other combatant, as they have to spend brain power trying to figure out what you just said, and they start feeling insecure, as they know you are WAY smarter than they are, and they start to doubt they can win the argument. And thus, you have already won.

7:23 am

Riverdance

I need to take lessons from Trif

7:24 am

Trifioso

and Trif needs to get ready for work, being the good myrmidon that I am.....have a good day all, and may whatever god you believe in bless you

7:24 am

Riverdance

bye Trif - have a great day

7:25 am

Anniebrook

bye Trif, bless you too

7:25 am

Trifioso

hi hego

7:26 am

FMitch

Why is it as you get older you are prone to tears? Just watchec Bill Crystal being interviewed and then he sang one of his big hits for the 80's ( I think) song called @Suddenly' ( I think).

SAstill mopping up and blowing nose ast was one of my favourtie songs.

7:26 am

7:50 am

Marc Freeman

Silly me got it

7:50 am

Anniebrook

hego, the co 5/16 is the last name of that evil person who killed that little girl in Florida and buried her alive. His name gives me the chills.

7:51 am

Anniebrook

glad you got it, marc

7:51 am

jmitch

I think this is the smallest puzzle I've ever seen

7:51 am

hego

ooo, really Aniie. How awful.

7:53 am

herinfernallady

Soory I am a little bit brain dead at the moment

7:53 am

Anniebrook

actually, he raped her, kept her in his trailer and then buried here. I dont mean to go on and on about it but it is so chilling.

7:53 am

suefrad625

Anniebrook

Hi sue

7:53 am

hego

Scary even

7:53 am

hego

Hi Sue

7:54 am

Anniebrook

there is no ac5---it is ac6 meaning shrewdness

7:55 am

hego

very twisty today

7:55 am

Marc Freeman

Is there a better clue for ac6 because I am not clear enough to get it from shrewdness, please?

7:56 am

hego

the eye doc tests your visual ac6

7:56 am

Anniebrook

good clue, hego

7:57 am

hego

hello everybody. While I'm burning dinner, I just wanted to tell mom that my "mystery" white tulips, when open, were pale pink, bright pink, white and green, almost like parrot tulips and are gorgeous. So no more whining

10:41 am

rubyfoo

hi ata

10:42 am

those sound beautiful - congrats on the wrong bulbs - it all worked out for the best then

10:42 am

lovely and fancy' I'll take pix in the morning when the light is right

10:43 am

Riverdance

would love to see them

10:43 am

hi ata. Did you see my comments re: Bella. She is definitely a cutie; you can see her personality on her face.

10:44 am

Good Enough

fireworks

10:44 am

Good Enough

guess i need to work now

10:44 am

Riverdance

well done good enough

10:44 am

rubyfoo

chows are interesting in that no two look alike, even from the same parents, and you can always tell the males from the females!

10:44 am

Atalante

haven't had a chance to look on FB today, but you're right, she is! she's a big soft teddy bear

10:44 am

rubyfoo

YAY good enough

10:45 am

rubyfoo

work? OMG! It's been too long.....

10:45 am

rubyfoo

Ruby is limping but won't let me touch her paw....

10:46 am

Atalante

awww poor baby!

10:46 am

rubyfoo

she must have a thorn or a pine needle

10:46 am

Atalante

ruby, let your mom see!!

10:46 am

rubyfoo

she is such a cuddler, that normally, I can touch any place on her body and she just swoons

10:46 am

crosshair

give dog belly rub,when she rolls over you can check paw at your leisure

10:47 am

Riverdance

my dogs ran into a porcupine last week - must haved pulled 30 quills from my old girls mouth

10:47 am

Atalante

omg mom, the poor baby!

10:47 am

rubyfoo

no, she is too canny for that!

10:48 am

rubyfoo

I've heard of that happening, mom, no porcupine in France, just hedgehogs and I've never seen one. They must be edible!

10:48 am

Riverdance

she sat there very quietly while we pulled them out with pliers. Luckily got them all so didnt have to take her to the vet. My young one only had one quill - guess she is smarter

10:49 am

rubyfoo

That is so sweet, mom, Ruby is very distrustful and when the vet comes to the house to see Max, she either runs away or hides under the table

10:49 am

rubyfoo

speaking of wildlife, this is a bear of a grid!

10:50 am

Riverdance

mine both shake like crazy when going to the vet. Just had their physicals a couple weeks ago. They put the brakes on just as we get to the door and then shake very badly.

10:50 am

rubyfoo

Max has never been off the property' he is too strange and if he ever got loose, nobody could ever catch him

10:51 am

Riverdance

how is he strange

10:52 am

rubyfoo

he is autistic, for one thing, and extremely timid. Fortunately, he's gentle, so never a biting problem. Just sort of beautiful and pathetic

10:52 am

Atalante

hobbit loooooves our vet. silly dog

10:52 am

rubyfoo

Ruby trembles like that when there is wind or fireworks (not the babble kind) and needs to be comforted

10:53 am

Riverdance

ohh poor thing - lucky for him he has you as him Mom

10:53 am

rubyfoo

how did you work that, ata?

10:53 am

Atalante

no idea! she bounds in there, runs around and fusses all the receptionists and nurses, and almost drags me down to the vet rooms!

10:53 am

rubyfoo

I think that black chows are too inbred; he;s the second one with whom we've had trouble. They are incredibly beautiful, though.

10:54 am

Riverdance

those things dont bother mine - thank goodness - they are hunting dogs so are used to gunshots - I guess lightning sounds the same

10:54 am

rubyfoo

that is so cute!

10:54 am

rubyfoo

and Ruby hate whistling! Even on television, it makes her annoyed

10:54 am

rubyfoo

dinner, now, see you all later

10:55 am

Riverdance

lucky you ata - I literally drag mine in while they have their brakes on. Its weird because they are very obedient and heel properly but when it comes to the vet, they will not listen to command - totally frightened

10:55 am

Riverdance

bye ruby

10:55 am

Haz1558

So, I have volcanic ash on my car.

10:55 am

Riverdance

oh no haz

10:55 am

rubyfoo

no kidding, haz, put a sample in a bottle

10:55 am

Atalante

Haz! La Glitteratina!

10:56 am

rubyfoo

and look at it under a microscope

10:56 am

Haz1558

It looks like sand, really fine stuff. I suppose it'll mean extra work for the car washes.

10:56 am

Haz1558

Bonjour!

10:56 am

rubyfoo

but it is very abrasive, n'est-ce pas?

10:57 am

Haz1558

It's just fine and dirty looking, not really sure about its abrasive qualities.

10:57 am

10:58 am

Haz1558

I was at a shopping centre today and lots of the cars are even worse than mine. There's a strong wind blowing, maybe that's why it's come down.

10:58 am

Riverdance

11:02 am

crosshair

ive not seen the news today,has it lessened or is it worse?

11:03 am

Haz1558

They keep changing their stories. Last night they announced that it was getting better, that flights would resume etc. Within minutes, it seemed, they were saying that actually a fresh cloud had gathered and that things were bad again.

11:03 am

Atalante

lessened then worsened I think

11:04 am

crosshair

mmm

11:04 am

jmcnrick

hi all

11:04 am

howdy jmc

11:04 am

11:04 am

Haz1558

Hello, jmc.

11:04 am

jmcnrick

i am guessing even i won't take long on this grid

11:04 am

crosshair

just a thought,last time this one erupted in the 1800,2,it did so for 2 years;((

11:05 am

Haz1558

The best declared time so far is about four minutes, jmc. That's your target.

11:06 am

crosshair

11:06 am

Atalante

I did it in 17 seconds

11:06 am

Rhondabe

11:06 am

Haz1558

If it keeps this up for two years, there won't be any airlines left to take anybody anywhere, or at least European airlines.

11:06 am

crosshair

yaa for ata!

11:07 am

Uniquity

What did you do in 17 seconds, you braggart?

11:07 am

Uniquity

Your e-mail about the de6 from the other day just made me come to babble...15 minutes before leaving for an exam!

11:08 am

Uniquity

*Smiles all around* :D

11:08 am

Haz1558

Oh exams! What joy for you, but good of you to drop in.

11:08 am

Haz1558

de6/24 - it never fails to raise a smile.

11:09 am

Haz1558

Now watch as everyone scrabbles to find a d in the grid....

11:09 am

Uniquity

Rarely does a word produce such instant and fond memories as the darling deodar.

11:10 am

Haz1558

I know. It's rarely seen so I don't know if it qualifies as a babblet.

11:10 am

Atalante

vry rarely

11:10 am

Atalante

what's a babblet?

11:11 am

Uniquity

HAH!

11:11 am

Buttonman

11:12 am

11:12 am

Well done, Buttonman!

11:12 am

Uniquity

Congratulations! Did you beat Ata's 17 seconds?

11:12 am

Buttonman

THANKS HAZ

11:12 am

Buttonman

thanks Uni and Mom

11:13 am

jmcnrick

whoo hoo buttonman

11:14 am

jmcnrick

dumb staff always interrupting me in my important babbling

11:14 am

Uniquity

It takes a brave person to interrupt a babbler knowingly.

11:15 am

Haz1558

It's probably proof of my twisted mind, but when you said 'dumb staff, I immediately thought of them trying out frantic sign language to get your attention.

11:15 am

Riverdance

My husband tries that quite often - he is learning to back away

11:16 am

jmcnrick

lol i know sign language but they don't except my son

11:16 am

Uniquity

Oh my. My sign language only allows me to say that I love cheese.

11:16 am

Atalante

lol

11:16 am

jmcnrick

lol surely you can manage i love you as well

11:17 am

Haz1558

When they start throwing themselves at your feet with beseeching hands, you'll know to stop typing.

11:17 am

Uniquity

Well, I could try.

11:17 am

jmcnrick

so is canadian sign language like british sign language or american sign language

11:17 am

Uniquity

It's interesting that I learned to say I love cheese instead though, hah!

11:17 am

Atalante

different accent

11:17 am

jmcnrick

i bought a net book so that i could take my laptop to be repaired

11:18 am

Riverdance

lol

11:18 am

Uniquity

Depends on the book you pick up (assuming you learn it that way). I would assume that as a country we use British, but we get more American books. It's a little complicated.

11:18 am

Boobear

fireworks

11:18 am

jmcnrick

lol no british is two handed and american is based on the french and is one handed mostly

11:18 am

Haz1558

Well done, Boo!

11:18 am

Riverdance

thats great Boo

11:18 am

Uniquity

Ata loves my accent. I bet it comes out strongly in sign language. I'm sure there is a sign for 'eh'.

11:18 am

jmcnrick

whoo hoo boo

11:19 am

Uniquity

Well, the sign for cheese that I learned takes two hands...

11:19 am

Uniquity

Congrats, Boo!

11:19 am

Atalante

it's soooo cute

11:19 am

11:20 am

Haz1558

Bye, Mom.

11:20 am

Uniquity

Ah, and I must away to the bus. Then to the exam. I'll see you fine folks later, perhaps!

11:22 am

jmcnrick

what is the exam?

11:23 am

Atalante

literature of some sort I would think

11:23 am

jmcnrick

is it woca woca woca or wooka wooka wooka?

11:24 am

Haz1558

Has anybody got the restraints ready for jmc?

11:24 am

jmcnrick

that is an important philosophical question

11:24 am

Atalante

do you want to hear what we had at KWT today?

11:25 am

Haz1558

Yes!

11:25 am

Atalante

chocolate cookies, white chocolate cookies, chocolate brownie cake, clotted cream shortbreads, victoria sponge, and um something else!

11:26 am

Haz1558

So, you majored on the cookies?

11:26 am

Atalante

choc cookies are my favourite thing. had a tiny bit of the brownie cake too, just to try

11:27 am

Haz1558

It sounds good. And tea?

11:27 am

Atalante

lots of tea

11:31 am

jmcnrick

TOTALLY AMAZING THING JUST HAPPENED!!!

11:32 am

Haz1558

George Clooney came in?

11:32 am

jmcnrick

remember when my house was burgled in Nov the week before my mother died?

11:32 am

Haz1558

Yes.

11:32 am

Haz1558

And lots of stuff was taken, wasn't it?

11:32 am

jmcnrick

(i wish -- if he had i wouldn't be talking to you guys we'd be in a lip lock)

11:33 am

jmcnrick

the police just called and it appears they caught the guy and got my laptop back!

11:33 am

Haz1558

Brilliant news!

11:33 am

Atalante

wooooot!

11:33 am

Haz1558

And can you bash him over the head with it while the police hold onto him?

11:34 am

jmcnrick

they found my business card which fell out of my purse when they were rifling it and so the police called me!

11:34 am

jmcnrick

no no haz i do not bash people over the head!

11:34 am

Haz1558

Or would that not look good for the director of a peace-seeking organisation?

11:34 am

jmcnrick

maybe a little slap up side the head but no bashing

11:35 am

Haz1558

You could pretend to be about to bash him, just to get him scared.

11:36 am

jmcnrick

hmmm i am not sure that fits the nonviolent persona

11:36 am

Haz1558

All joking aside, let's hope your laptop still has the stuff you need.

11:37 am

Jeff7

to5,18 please...last one!

11:37 am

jmcnrick

*sigh* that would be so nice. of course most of what i needed i needed for tax season but the photos of Mother i really would be glad to see

11:38 am

Haz1558

to5/18 - take out the n from to6/30 - the non-rurual dweller.

11:38 am

Haz1558

I hope it works out for you, jmc.

11:38 am

Hi everybody. Desperately seeking a clue for the FO 4/7???

11:39 am

Haz1558

up6 - the sort of girl that Billy Joel sang about.

11:40 am

Haz1558

fo4/7 - Times New Roman, Arial bold, as used in a christening, take your pick.

11:40 am

MizHoffle

11:40 am

Good woman yourself Haz. Thanks a mill.

11:41 am

Haz1558

You're welcome, Miz.

11:41 am

Haz1558

You're entirely welcome, Soodle.

11:41 am

Atalante

she's useful, isn't she?

11:41 am

Soodle

Very handy to have a Haz around. Every grid should have one :)

11:41 am

Haz1558

Except in a sewing crisis.

11:42 am

Haz1558

Youre on your own in that event!

11:43 am

Atalante

we can't all be perfect

11:43 am

Soodle

As a veteran of many crises (crisays??), sewing crisis'es don't scare me one bit!

11:44 am

Haz1558

Right, despite being useful in a grid crisis and for supplying scathing comments, time I was taking Spangle out for a late walk. We'll risk it without the breathing apparatus..... Soodle -we have ash!

11:44 am

Atalante

have a lovely walk!

11:44 am

Haz1558

I'll just use a wet hankie and try not to breathe too deeply. Spangle can hold her breath.

11:44 am

Haz1558

Bye!

11:44 am

Soodle

Apparently that cloud is right over us, Haz... Gasmask at the ready....

11:45 am

1:27 pm

rubyfoo

no, I'm back, after dinner. That's like Eats shoots and leaves!

1:28 pm

Atalante

welcome back! how's ruby's paw?

1:28 pm

rubyfoo

she's whining at me, very unusual for her, but she let me touch it and I couldn't feel anything

1:29 pm

rubyfoo

For big dogs, these chows are very fragile!

1:29 pm

Atalante

poor baby! maybe the thorn or whatever came out on its own and it's just a little owie now

1:29 pm

rubyfoo

you might be right

1:30 pm

rubyfoo

this is such a strange grid -- each word is on its own

1:30 pm

Barb's Horses

could she have maybe caught a nail and pulled it...I had a dog do that once...took me a while to see what he had done

1:31 pm

rubyfoo

eeewww! that's a horrible idea, barb. Was it bloody?

1:31 pm

rubyfoo

I think it's more likely to have been a thorn as she spends a lot of time under the hedge and brings a lot of plants back in with her.

1:32 pm

rubyfoo

not the cleanest house!

1:32 pm

Barb's Horses

actually in one case I had a dog actually rip off three nails and the quicks were just there..what a mess

1:32 pm

Barb's Horses

I hope it was just a thorn and it will feel better soon

1:32 pm

Atalante

ouch!

1:33 pm

Barb's Horses

three to go

1:33 pm

rubyfoo

how awful!

1:33 pm

Barb's Horses

it turned out in my case that he was sick and we didn't know it..but I am sure that isn't anything to do with your dog's paw

1:34 pm

Atalante

chows certainly have big enough paws to check over!

1:34 pm

rubyfoo

fat paws!

1:34 pm

Atalante

HUGE paws!

1:34 pm

Atalante

bear paws :D

1:34 pm

Barb's Horses

yes dakota's paws are huge to

1:35 pm

rubyfoo

Max has huge paws, huge head, big angel ears and then it all tapers down to very lean hips and a chewing-on tail....

1:35 pm

I-Mac

Am I blind? How is an fo4,8 before fo4,7 possible?

1:36 pm

rubyfoo

it's def possible, I Mac!

1:36 pm

Atalante

very possible!

1:36 pm

rubyfoo

Even I have that

1:36 pm

rubyfoo

what kind of dog is Dakota?

1:36 pm

I-Mac

I have tried everything...must be blind then!

1:36 pm

Atalante

do your chows have flat fur bits above their back legs where the tail sits?

1:36 pm

Barb's Horses

Dakota is a great pyrennesXsheppard

1:36 pm

Atalante

fo + **A - USA spy people

1:37 pm

rubyfoo

no, Ruby's tail is a huge plume which is always up and her bottom has very long fur, like mud flaps on an old Pontiac!

1:37 pm

Barb's Horses

one more...to4/10 the last to

1:37 pm

I-Mac

Oh my god...I am blind. Thank you!

1:37 pm

Barb's Horses

I just got him shaved down for summertime

1:38 pm

Atalante

oh! Bella has a funny flat patch of fur where her tail rests :D

1:38 pm

rubyfoo

1:38 pm

I-Mac

Still trying to get used to this.

1:38 pm

1:57 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

Atalante

2:00 pm

FMitch

Tsk, would have loved to have joined you.

2:00 pm

Atalante

2:00 pm

Atalante

good!

2:01 pm

FMitch

Am trying to work out a viable route for my GodMother to come and visit but as I am so rurual now public transport from Ascot is horrendous.

2:01 pm

Atalante

it really would be easier just to go and pick her up, I think

2:02 pm

salmocreston1

fireworks

2:02 pm

FMitch

That would mean a 3 hour round trip :(

2:02 pm

FMitch

Congrats salmo!!

2:02 pm

Atalante

yay salmo!

2:02 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

wtg salmo !!!! ~~~~ !!!!

2:02 pm

Atalante

not easy any way ...

2:03 pm

FMitch

on the upside am popping over to see Mum tomorrow a quick 20 mins drive :)

2:03 pm

Atalante

:D:D

2:03 pm

FMitch

instead of the hour and a qurater it used to be.

2:04 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

help the british commonwealth is outnumbering me! LOLOL

2:04 pm

Atalante

rule britannia! britannia rules the waves (just not the air)

2:04 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

god save the queen, oi

2:05 pm

FMitch

A week now (almost) and no flights out of most UK airports is very eerie.

2:06 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

is there a lot of ash hitting you guys?

2:06 pm

Atalante

odd isn't it. and somehow absolutely lovely. but I suspect only because I don't want to fly anywhere

2:06 pm

Nancy Boy

I would say it's quiet, FMitch, but where I live there's no such thing as quiet

2:07 pm

FMitch

yes Ata, glad I don't have to be anywhere but feel for those that do and al lthe businesses that depend on it.

Hey NB!

2:07 pm

FMitch

brb

2:08 pm

Atalante

hi NB!

2:08 pm

Nancy Boy

sorry to be impolite, evening all ;)
my little sister's maths teacher is stuck in California. Lucky - both my sister and the teacher!

2:08 pm

Atalante

very!

2:10 pm

Carolryberg

Hi all! Love these small grids. Don't feel guilty trying to finish.

2:11 pm

Atalante

I love them too, Carol

2:11 pm

Nancy Boy

oooh I don't like the smaller grids - the chat always goes very quiet because everyone finishes so quickly!

2:12 pm

Atalante

NB, had the oddest cocktail the other day. cherry liqueur, chocolate liqueur and champagne. very odd!

2:12 pm

Carolryberg

I don't chat with the larger grids, I'm too busy trying to find words.

2:13 pm

Uniquity

Cocktail? I'll have two...

2:13 pm

Atalante

UNI DARLING! *mwah*

2:13 pm

Nancy Boy

Never heard of that one before, Ata! Sounds very rich - nice?

2:14 pm

Atalante

how was the exam?

2:14 pm

Nancy Boy

find words? sometimes I forget that's what I'm here for...

2:14 pm

Atalante

nor had I, so I had to try it. The first sip I thought was very odd. Every sip after that got nicer! Very unusual, but very lovely

2:14 pm

Uniquity

The exam is over, and that's what counts. I wrote and wrote, and now it's done. Two on Friday, and I have myself an undergrad degree!

2:15 pm

Atalante

clever Uni!

2:15 pm

FMitch

Uni!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2:15 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

finished everything but middle row, yay

2:15 pm

Atalante

*utter happiness seeing Uni*

2:15 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

sending you good luck, Uni

2:16 pm

FMitch

Happy days to see Uni here:))))))

2:16 pm

Uniquity

Thanks for the love, guys. Also, MAMA FM!!!!!!!!!!!!

2:16 pm

FMitch

Big Hugs!

2:16 pm

Uniquity

If I had any of my delicious and bad for you homemade perogies, I'd give you some. Can anyone guess what I'm in the mood for? ;)

2:17 pm

Uniquity

How've you been, beautiful Mama?

2:17 pm

FMitch

All the better for seeing you dear.

2:18 pm

Atalante

people are writing such nice comments on my new macro photos. am amazed!

2:18 pm

Uniquity

What a pretty kitty pic! Is this a kitty I should know?

2:18 pm

Carolryberg

Bacon? Oh no that's Crossy.

2:18 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

fireworks! bye bye gotta run run POINK

2:18 pm

Uniquity

Your macro photos are so ridiculous!! I love them..had no idea that kind of detail existed, heh.

2:19 pm

FMitch

I wish, t'was my icon pic from pet Monday - Norwegian Forest cat - would love to have one.

2:19 pm

FMitch

Congrats Book

2:19 pm

Atalante

even I'm quite amazed! I'm going to the beach tomorrow and you're going to get soooo bored with photos from there!

2:19 pm

Uniquity

I had bacon yesterday. We Canadians are more alike than one might think. But right now I very much want some perogies. Loaded with cheese, and I make a sour cream dough to make them even more better for my taste buds.

2:20 pm

Uniquity

I never get bored of beach photos. I've been on a kick of taking shots of trees with sun behind them.

2:20 pm

Carolryberg

I have a friend I sew for and she pays me in perogies.

2:20 pm

Atalante

those sound soooo good!

2:20 pm

Nancy Boy

you wouldn't happen to offer a vegan option? ;)

2:20 pm

Uniquity

I could loan you Emma, FM. She's no forest cat, but she can take down (or at least spot) mice like no-one's business. She killed one, maimed one and found two more for us last week.

2:21 pm

FMitch

sounds like a good deal Carol

2:21 pm

Uniquity

I make veggis perogies, but no vegan. J'aime le fromage!

2:21 pm

Atalante

what a good cat!!!! hunter of glory!

2:21 pm

Uniquity

Mmm, payment in perogies. What a life.

2:21 pm

Atalante

can get vegan cheese i think?

2:22 pm

FMitch

Am still happily glowing that ta would trust me with Sily and Hobbit. The ultimate accolade.

2:22 pm

Uniquity

Really? Vegan cheese? How do you make cheese without the dairy aspect?

2:22 pm

Atalante

:D Sily would return soooo spoiled! I'd never hear the end of it :)

2:22 pm

Atalante

maybe I'm imagining it. NB?

2:22 pm

FMitch

LOL

2:22 pm

Uniquity

Ooh. To sit Sily and Hobbit is high honour indeed!

2:23 pm

Nancy Boy

I've never come across it, Ata, but I'm guessing there's going to be some sort of catch :P lemme google it!

2:23 pm

Uniquity

Google says there is vegan cheese alternative. Fake cheese. I don't know that I like this..

2:23 pm

Atalante

I have Hobbit at my right side, sitting by me. And Sily at my left side, fast asleep in her basket

2:24 pm

Nancy Boy

I know one can buy vegetarian cheese, which is made without all those tasty stomach extracts...

2:24 pm

FMitch

*wonders if fake cheese would not give bad dreams*

2:24 pm

Atalante

mmmmm stomach extracts!

2:24 pm

Atalante

ick!

2:24 pm

Uniquity

Fake cheese sounds like devil food. I shan't be tempted.

2:24 pm

Nancy Boy

LOL FMitch!

2:25 pm

Atalante

fake cheese does sound *very* wrong

2:25 pm

Uniquity

I could make you cheeseless perogies, but then the sour cream would be an issue. Is there fake sour cream? It's starting to sound a lot more like mashed potatoes, :D

2:25 pm

Atalante

soya cream?

2:25 pm

FMitch

Love cheese but have found out over the last couple of years that it really doesnt agree with me and I have so many strange greams now if I eat cheese.

2:25 pm

Atalante

greams sound very strange!

2:26 pm

FMitch

*dreams even

2:26 pm

Uniquity

Oh no. If cheese gives me strange dreams, I will sleep poorly for the rest of my life. I'm a cheese-aholic. I have a problem.

2:26 pm

Atalante

omg. Just have to say. I tasted the most amazing blue cheese at the weekend. I don't even like blue cheese and this was *incredible*. Kentish Blue, apparently

2:26 pm

Uniquity

Blue cheese and I come and go. Was it really smooth and strong?

2:26 pm

Nancy Boy

How bizarre, FMitch...maybe try the vegan cheese?!

2:27 pm

FMitch

lol Uni I think it one of those things that occurs as you get older.

2:27 pm

Uniquity

Stay away from the vegan cheese! Put down the fake cheese and no-one will get hurt... *aiming squirt gun*

2:27 pm

Atalante

it was - strong flavoured, yes, but without that overpowering flavour that blue cheese can get. It was smooth and beautiful and tasted like cream

2:27 pm

Uniquity

I refuse to age if I might have to give up cheese. Forever young, that's me.

2:27 pm

Atalante

I have to find somewhere to buy it

2:28 pm

Atalante

ditto Uni!

2:28 pm

Carolryberg

I agree!

2:28 pm

Nancy Boy

*whines* but I miss cheese...

2:28 pm

FMitch

No way NB, I will put up with the wierd dreams and enjoy the odd toasted cheese sarnie or orther lovely dishes.

2:28 pm

Uniquity

Ata - sounds fabulous. I love the smoothness of blue cheese, but don't like the super sharp (mould?) taste of some I have tried.

2:28 pm

Atalante

yes, ditto! this was just perfect

2:28 pm

Nancy Boy

LOL FMitch! some things are just worth it, huh :D

2:28 pm

jmcnrick

*blech* vegan cheese *runs away from lurking*

2:28 pm

Uniquity

NB, come to the dark side...we have real cheese!

2:29 pm

Atalante

I could quite happily be vegan, if I could eat cheese!

2:29 pm

flosey

in my younger years I had to avoid blue cheese - it was a migraine trigger, however, outgrew that and am now able to enjoy them all

2:29 pm

FMitch

Uni - have to ask hows yr Mum wish she would write to me, I miss her very much.

2:29 pm

Uniquity

I don't think my body allows me to give up cows and chickens and pigs and fishes. It's my constitution. :)

2:30 pm

Atalante

yes, we all miss your mom. tell her to email, if nothing else!

2:30 pm

FMitch

Greetings flosey.

2:30 pm

Uniquity

I think Lori has taken a bit of vacay from the world, but she seems in good shape! I'll prod her with a sharp stick next time we're in the same house. It's been ages!

2:30 pm

Nancy Boy

you do, Uni, but for me it's not worth knowing that a cow has to suffer being pumped full of hormones and kept locked up in the dark for its whole life. Yummy but cruel. There, lecture over!

2:31 pm

FMitch

Next time you speak to her send her my love.

2:31 pm

Uniquity

I have a lot of family in farm country. My eatings aren't all locked up or hormone filled. But lots are. I've definitely eaten creatures I had looked in the eye before.

2:31 pm

Carolryberg

What about free range cows?

2:31 pm

Atalante

it's funny, NB, I had a weird veggie experience so at odds to most people. I was vegetarian for many many years as a kid, until I went to uni. Then I studied marine biology, and had to chop up fish, and couldn't in all conscience be veggie while chopping up fish. So I stopped officially being veggie, but I hardly ever eat meat

2:31 pm

flosey

it doesn't happen in organic farming NB

2:32 pm

FMitch

As much fun as this is, I have to be off. Thanks for the chat and great catching up.

2:33 pm

Nancy Boy

true in the free range and organic stakes, but at the end of the day, Leo and I are dirt poor ;) plus, I have other problems with it, but those are the biggies.

2:33 pm

Uniquity

Oy vey, this makes me hungry. And i'm on my last bit of cheese!

2:33 pm

Uniquity

Take care, Mama! I'll work on my Mum and see where we get. <3!

2:33 pm

Atalante

and anyway couscous is the best food ever

2:33 pm

Nancy Boy

How funny, Ata! So it was a matter of principle ;)

2:34 pm

FMitch

(((Uni)))

2:34 pm

Atalante

strangely, yes! in a strange and inverted manner! but still, I hardly ever eat meat other than fish

2:34 pm

Uniquity

I've never had couscous. The beau and I only just bought some, might be having it for supper, finally.

2:35 pm

Atalante

oooo it's yummy! but make it properly. don't just add water like packets say

2:35 pm

Uniquity

Hmm. What is doing it properly, then? I hadn't looked into it yet.

2:36 pm

Atalante

will find you a link

2:36 pm

Carolryberg

Eveyone must have fireworks, no one is looking for clues.

2:37 pm

Uniquity

This is my first play at babble in months, I only have 19 words and got sucked into chat, as usual.

2:40 pm

Nancy Boy

I'm still looking into this vegan cheese. Just terrifying, what some people will think of making.

2:41 pm

Atalante

really!

2:41 pm

Uniquity

Agreed! I am off to buy a tv show I love. Take care, Babbletopia!

2:43 pm

Nancy Boy

although, there is possibly nothing more foul/just plain bizarre than the idea of cow's milk!

2:44 pm

Atalante

oh yes, there is. goats milk!

2:44 pm

Atalante

and sheep#s milk!

2:45 pm

Atalante

oh no, wait. yak butter is the worst

2:45 pm

Nancy Boy

LOL. Never tried the latter three - any difference in taste?

2:46 pm

Atalante

sheep's milk is odd. I think. It tastes like it comes out of a sheep.

2:47 pm

Atalante

(well duh lol)

2:47 pm

Atalante

yak butter? Liz and I will tell you when we get back from Nepal!

2:48 pm

jmcnrick

human milk there is a restaurant in NYC that has dishes with human milk cheese

2:48 pm

Atalante

OMG!!!

2:49 pm

Nancy Boy

See?! this confuses me - people are perfectly happy to usurp the breast milk equivalent from a different species...but when it comes from their own, THAT'S disgusting?!

2:49 pm

jmcnrick

you can pretty much find anything in NYC

2:49 pm

Atalante

I know ... odd, isn't it? I'd actually happily eat something made from any milk. But the initial idea is odd

2:51 pm

jmcnrick

seems a little personal to eat someone elses breast milk and a little bizarre to eat your own

2:51 pm

Atalante

but really, it's more sustainable and less stressful to aniamls to create a human breast milk insutry

2:51 pm

Atalante

NB - question - would vegans eat human breast milk products willing provided?

2:52 pm

Nancy Boy

LOL Ata - question I thought I'd never be asked ;)

2:52 pm

Atalante

lol I bet :P

2:53 pm

Nancy Boy

but I guess it depends on the reason why they turned vegan - if it's an animal welfare issue or an environmental issue, they may be willing. Personally I'd skip it - got over that stage in my life about eighteen years ago - but each to their own ;)

2:53 pm

Atalante

interesting question though. never considered it before!

2:55 pm

Atalante

I have to ask that on my facebook

2:55 pm

Nancy Boy

me either, but then I wouldn't have dreamed of a human breast milk restaurant! Nuts.

2:56 pm

jaybo33

the c word!

2:56 pm

Atalante

nuts, but really? I wonder what it tastes like compared to cows milk

2:56 pm

jmcnrick

it would depend on the vegan

2:56 pm

jaybo33

what????

2:57 pm

jmcnrick

it is thinner and sweeter ata

2:57 pm

jaybo33

omg

2:57 pm

jmcnrick

jay are you asking about the hogcall?

2:57 pm

jaybo33

cowy

2:57 pm

jaybo33

after a fashion!

2:58 pm

Atalante

so it's naturally skimmed :)

2:58 pm

jmcnrick

it is not as fatty as cow milk

2:58 pm

Nancy Boy

if the situation demanded it, would you draw the line at eating actual human?

2:58 pm

Atalante

*glee* put a question on facebook. Will report back tomorrow

2:59 pm

jmcnrick

it would depend on the situation for NB

2:59 pm

Atalante

if it was me or them, I'd eat them!

2:59 pm

jmcnrick

it would not be something that I would put high on my list of things to do

2:59 pm

Atalante

unless it was Nathan Fillion. LOL

3:00 pm

Nancy Boy

LOL Ata. Love it - not even a moment's hesitation! :')

3:00 pm

Atalante

being a biologist does give one a somewhat different viewpoint, I think

3:01 pm

Atalante

in that I at least feel very part of the global ecosystem. I eat things, things would eat me

3:02 pm

Nancy Boy

Hopefully I'd escape getting eaten, since we vegans tend to be a tough and skinny lot. The same principle also applies to zombie invasion...I think they'd go for the meat-eaters first ;)

3:05 pm

Atalante

LOL :)

3:06 pm

Nancy Boy

also, just googled nathan fillion. I see your point ;)

3:06 pm

Atalante

*grins* ohhhh yes!

3:06 pm

Atalante

try and get hold of Firefly. Youd enjoy

3:07 pm

Nancy Boy

Firefly? Is it a film? haven't heard of it :)

3:09 pm

Atalante

it's a TV series, from a few years ago in the US. Its just 1 series. Kind of sci-fi crossed with westerns. With Nathan and Adam Baldwin. It's really really fun

3:09 pm

mummy

just eaten the cat and now ready for some clues please, ac6/30

3:09 pm

Nancy Boy

just eaten the cat?! I think even the non-vegans will be horrified by that!

3:09 pm

jmcnrick

wasn't the cat hairy?

3:09 pm

Nancy Boy

Sci-fi westerns...sounds interesting :D

3:10 pm

Atalante

It's really worth watching if you can find it, I promise!

3:10 pm

Nancy Boy

ac + a vowel + a large settlement, a c***

3:10 pm

mummy

yes, got a furball in my throat but never mind

3:11 pm

Atalante

lol. already 12 comments about breast milk.

3:11 pm

Nancy Boy

Well I'll look it up, then, Ata ;) especially since we're at a loss for things to watch at the moment. There's a lot of Family Guy in this flat - the way they stereotype gay men is actually pretty hilarious

3:11 pm

Atalante

abotu 1/2 and 1/2 in opnion

3:11 pm

Nancy Boy

LOL! Saying?

3:12 pm

Atalante

Firefly is very tongue-in-cheek about a lot of stuff. I really do think you'd like it. Never found anyone who doesn't. And Nathan ... enough said!

3:12 pm

Atalante

anything from
"It's funny, but when we have a newborn that doesn't feed well it seems logical to me to put it to the breast of a woman who has a good supply, both to get it some food, and encourage it to suck. Most midwives think this is completely disgusting!"
to
"I'm vegan - eugh! No way would I have that."

3:14 pm

Nancy Boy

was the clue any good, Mummy? (feels very strange saying that ;))

3:15 pm

Atalante

I love my FB friends. I have everything from militant vegan protesters to capitalist party people. It's interesting

3:15 pm

Nancy Boy

sounds like a pretty mixed bag, then. I dunno, I guess I'd try it, but...hmmm.

3:16 pm

Atalante

interesting, isn't it? I really don't know ... I'd love to think I was ok with it. But if someone put a bowl in front of me ... it would be interesting

3:16 pm

jmcnrick

more likely a glass

3:18 pm

Nancy Boy

That yo5 an enable word...really?!

3:18 pm

mummy

thank you Nancy boy, got it now

3:19 pm

Nancy Boy

no problem :)

3:20 pm

mummy

now need fo4/7 please

3:20 pm

mummy

no, fo4/8 I mean

3:21 pm

jmcnrick

multiple fo** groups are used by ad agencies to test consumer applea

3:22 pm

Nancy Boy

fo + two letters from the large settlement of the previous clue!

3:22 pm

Atalante

ok. I'm going to bed. Yes, I'm a wuss. LOL

3:22 pm

mummy

thanks NB

3:23 pm

Nancy Boy

g'night Ata - early to bed, early to rise eh ;) I'd better be off out soon..

3:23 pm

Atalante

tomorrow morning is dedicated to bumming around on the beach in the sunshine. assuming we have sunshine!!

3:24 pm

Nancy Boy

oooh - good luck with that! you are british through and through to brave a beach in April ;)

3:25 pm

Atalante

3:25 pm

mummy

just on left now, ty4/7 please, then I can get fireworks

3:27 pm

Nancy Boy

You'll kick yourself when you get it Mummy...it's when you spell something wrong on a keyboard!

3:28 pm

mummy

3:29 pm

mummy

3:29 pm

LOL! No problem, in which case it's just ty and twin vowels!

3:29 pm

Nancy Boy

LOL! No problem, in which case it's just ty and twin vowels!

3:29 pm

Nancy Boy

3:30 pm

3:30 pm

5:23 pm

Riverdance

5:23 pm

Riverdance

our state requires 40 hours (logged) of parent driving with 10 of those being at night

5:23 pm

Riverdance

if my husband has his say - she will have double that before she takes her test

5:23 pm

LeslieAnn

that's good. when i got my license it was 6 hours required in class driving - that was it.

5:24 pm

LeslieAnn

9:18 pm

Pinikula

uh oh

9:20 pm

Bugsaw

Hi MIn and lbd

9:20 pm

Minveryork

Bugsaw I LOVE your icon!That is a great one to keep

9:20 pm

jmcnrick

they executed a warrant in Baltimore on a stolen car and found my business card in the car

9:20 pm

Pinikula

Nice!

9:21 pm

jmcnrick

so the poor burglar got connected to me because he dropped my business card when he was rifling my purse with no cash

9:21 pm

lbdawger

not very bright burglar to keep any personal information

9:21 pm

Bugsaw

I am impressed jmc. Whenever I have lost anything, the police have never been able to help

9:21 pm

jmcnrick

actually they got me my wallet back the same morning

9:21 pm

jmcnrick

and i got a call for my purse from someone else the same day

9:22 pm

lbdawger

maybe he thought he'd call you to be his lawyer? lol

9:22 pm

jmcnrick

so all i lost was my computer and it's bag

9:22 pm

jmcnrick

lol that's a thought lbd but they called the Center instead of my cell which is on my law office cards

9:24 pm

Pinikula

Is everyone done with the grid and just chatting now? If so, I'd like to ask for some help on a little project I'm working on...if anyone's interested

9:24 pm

jmcnrick

i am working on the grid but not very hard

9:24 pm

jmcnrick

what do you need?

9:25 pm

Pinikula

I'm writing a short little poem to go with the baby gift I'm giving. It's to give instructions on the gift. ;)

9:26 pm

jmcnrick

what is the gift

9:26 pm

Pinikula

A "Magic Shrinking Bear"

9:26 pm

jmcnrick

????

9:27 pm

Pinikula

Let's see...explain this one, eh?

9:27 pm

torgone

Makes perfect sense to me ..

9:28 pm

Pinikula

OK...basically, it's a stuffed teddy bear and that, once the baby is here, you take a picture of baby and bear once each week for the first year and then once a month thereafter...

9:28 pm

Pinikula

...you'll see the bear magically shrink!

9:28 pm

lbdawger

how cute, what a great idea!

9:28 pm

jmcnrick

very cute

9:28 pm

Pinikula

(then once a year on their birthday after about age 2)

9:29 pm

lbdawger

picture me here for just a short time, bigger than this tiny litte rhyme

9:29 pm

jmcnrick

hmmm brb

9:29 pm

Pinikula

;)

9:29 pm

jmcnrick

drop the word little or it doesn't scan

9:29 pm

Pinikula

If we're friends on FB, you can see my gson's bear!

9:30 pm

Minveryork

Hi torgone! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid!

9:30 pm

Pinikula

What I have so far (but definitely changeable): Simply take a picture
of baby and me,
just once a week
and soon you will see.

9:31 pm

lbdawger

i'm shrinking just a bit, just by a hair.

9:31 pm

jmcnrick

A week here and a week there and pretty soon a shrinking bear

9:32 pm

Pinikula

oh, you guys are good!

9:32 pm

jmcnrick

I'll shrink a bit, just a hair and pretty soon a shrinking bear

9:32 pm

jmcnrick

that is lbd and me together

9:33 pm

lbdawger

i'll shrink a bit here, i'll shrink a bit there,

9:34 pm

lbdawger

amd in no time you will see a magically shrinking bear.

9:34 pm

torgone

9:36 pm

jmcnrick

9:36 pm

lbdawger

yes, i like that ending better.

9:36 pm

Pinikula

How about this:
Simply take a picture of baby and me,
just once a week and soon you will see.
One week here, another one there
Iâ€™ll shrink a bit here, Iâ€™ll shrink a bit there.
Iâ€™ll keep on shrinking until baby is grown,
A magic shrinking bear he can call his own!

9:37 pm

lbdawger

wonderful Pini!

9:38 pm

lbdawger

i hope the mommy does take the pics. it will be a wonderful memory of how fast the baby grows as well as a marker in time for her

9:38 pm

jmcnrick

Simply take a snap of baby and me,
just once a week and soon you will see.
One week here, another one there
and soon you will see a shrinking bear.
Iâ€™ll keep on shrinking until baby is grown,
A magic shrinking bear he can call his own!

9:38 pm

Pinikula

I love looking Camo Cole's pics (lbd, are you on FB?)

9:39 pm

jmcnrick

Simply take a snap of baby and me,
just once a week and soon you will see.
One week here, another one there
and then you will see a shrinking bear.
Iâ€™ll keep on shrinking until baby is grown,
A magic shrinking bear he can call his own!

9:39 pm

jmcnrick
