HI guys , just logged one

1:20 am

sandyloo

on

1:20 am

jillibus

hi sandy

1:20 am

Ormal

odd question - has anyone ever seen a bug bite that looks sort of like a mosquito bite which has a black center?

1:21 am

jillibus

not I!

1:21 am

sandyloo

bites vary a lot orm, maybe a spider

1:22 am

bookwomen

yes. the black center maybe a bee stinger. or a spider bite.

1:24 am

Barb's Horses

hello all

1:24 am

sandyloo

how are you today Jilli, it is a beautiful day here in Aus

1:24 am

Ormal

thanks. I wish I had seen it when I slapped at it, but I guess it got me twice instead and still snuck off unseen. Thanks

1:25 am

sandyloo

hi barb

1:25 am

jillibus

It was lovely here today too, sandy.

1:25 am

jillibus

hi barb

1:27 am

sandyloo

we are having very warm sunny days at the moment but hugely cold nights (horses are double rugged and no rugs in the day)

1:27 am

Barb's Horses

my horses finally have their "rugs" off now

1:28 am

sandyloo

just coming into winter here Barb

1:29 am

sandyloo

orm, that is such a pretty place in your icon

1:29 am

Barb's Horses

do yours like them...mine don't they try at every moment to get them off...mainly have them on to keep them clean here..field gets really muddy in the winter time

1:31 am

sandyloo

I think mine love to get their rugs on. I feed just before dark and its getting cold and they come up and just stand there for me to put them on

1:31 am

Barb's Horses

this doesn't seem like a friendly grid

1:31 am

sandyloo

Even in winter it is not muddy here

1:31 am

jillibus

I heartily agree, barb!

1:31 am

Barb's Horses

you are so lucky not to have to deal with mud

1:31 am

sandyloo

just starting the grid

1:32 am

Barb's Horses

glad it isn't just me jilli..by the way mom is home. they had to shock her heart twice to get it to beat properly...can't believe the last 24 hours...

1:33 am

sandyloo

oh Barb, I hope she is going to be ok.

1:34 am

jillibus

Scary, eh? But she's home now so they must feel it's safe.

1:34 am

Barb's Horses

they are hoping it fixed everything....we have to check her pulse daily to watch.

1:34 am

Barb's Horses

if she has any more issues then they will look further into it, hoping it is just a one time thing due to age

1:35 am

Barb's Horses

it was very scary jill

1:36 am

jillibus

How old is she, barb?

1:36 am

sandyloo

how old is your mum, barb

1:36 am

Barb's Horses

She will be 87 on Aug 5 this year

1:37 am

sandyloo

is she usually well?

1:37 am

Barb's Horses

has never had any heart issues before either they were worrying last night about a possible stroke too but have ruled that out

1:39 am

Barb's Horses

she has arthritis, diabetes type 2 which she keeps very controlled, and some high blood pressure other than the usually age related issues she still cooks most of her own meals and cleans her house once a week

1:39 am

sandyloo

she sounds fantastic Barb, I hope she will be ok

1:39 am

Barb's Horses

the only thing now is she doesn't get out as much now because of two knee replacements from the arthritis

1:40 am

sandyloo

My mum is 83 and is fit as a fiddle, but when I hear something like this, I realise we must make the most of her

1:40 am

sandyloo

I always think of my mum as being immortal

1:41 am

Barb's Horses

She has slowed the last year alot but loves to do her crocheting

1:41 am

Barb's Horses

I think we all do sandy and then something happens to make us realize how special they are indeed

1:41 am

sandyloo

that is amazing for someone of that age to still be able to see well enough]

1:42 am

Barb's Horses

I hope my son thinks of me like that when he is much older and I am her age

1:42 am

anike

fireworks

1:42 am

Barb's Horses

I have a large dinning room table cloth that she made me I tressure it every day

1:42 am

Barb's Horses

yeah anike

1:43 am

sandyloo

My mum is a good sewer and still makes skirts for my girls and she is editing an architect's PHD paper at the moment -he says he doesn't trust the young ones to do it!

1:44 am

anike

My mum is 93 and still loves sewing but her eyesight is becoming a problem

1:45 am

Barb's Horses

Good for her sandy...it is good to keep busy and keep the mind going. My mom is always making something dish clothes, hand towels, decorative doillies...she use to do needle work too but her eyesight isn't up to that anymore

1:45 am

sandyloo

which is all the more amazing when you know that my mum was raised on a sheep station and never even went to school until she was 11- she has amazing word and grammatical knowledge

1:45 am

Barb's Horses

awesome sandy....great she is doing so well

1:46 am

sandyloo

still Barb... they are getting older and we must appreciate them while we have them

1:47 am

anike

Back to work for me - happy babbling

1:47 am

sandyloo

bye ani

1:47 am

Barb's Horses

yes sandy more than every i realize that today...i was so afraid I would loose her last night couldn't sleep at all

1:47 am

Barb's Horses

bye anike

1:47 am

sandyloo

it would be horrible Barb, I dread anything like that

1:49 am

Barb's Horses

me too...it was different for me when my dad died...I looked after him with his cancer and knew at some point he would go...but yesterday morning she was fine...and then by 3 in the afternoon very ill so sudden and unexpected and again just as suddenly she is home again

1:51 am

sandyloo

My dad had cancer too and I know what you mean, but Mum has always seem invincible to me

1:51 am

Barb's Horses

mine too

1:51 am

sandyloo

I suppose it is part of our journey

1:51 am

jillibus

What was it, barb? Fibrillation?

1:52 am

Barb's Horses

yes but sometimes it seems so hard to go that route

1:53 am

Barb's Horses

yes in a way jill...her heart would be down at 46 then jump to 104 then to 86 then 54 then112...it was all over the place and this was making her throw up

1:53 am

jillibus

oh, poor thing!

1:55 am

Barb's Horses

then they would loose sinus rhythm...then it would beat very slow indeed...it was terrible and she kept insisting we still leave her and go have our mothers day dinner...there was no way I could leave her the way she was...so we had a mothers day dinner with no mothers in attendance...we plan another special dinner this coming sunday to celebrate.

1:56 am

Barb's Horses

my heart beats very fast now...they call mine tachicardia...she is now classed as bradicardia

1:56 am

jillibus

oh yes, slow...

1:57 am

Barb's Horses

gosh...I only have found 15 words...I better head off to bed and try to sleep tonight although I want to run downstairs to check on her...but don't want to disturb her rest either...fighting the urge to check..okay heading to bed...night all

1:58 am

jillibus

night barb -- take care!

1:58 am

Barb's Horses

thanks for letting me share it helps so much to "babble"

1:58 am

Barb's Horses

thanks jill

1:58 am

Barb's Horses

night sandy

1:59 am

Barb's Horses

bye all others

1:59 am

sandyloo

bye barb hope all is well

2:10 am

jillibus

halfway and I think that's enough for tonight -- miserable grid!

2:10 am

Douglas

I think halfway is an accomplishment for this grid, jilli

2:11 am

jillibus

thanks to Lickety's return! Hi doug.

2:12 am

jillibus

Stil 6 bt! I haven't found a single A word.

2:12 am

Douglas

I think it was some sort of harbinger that my first word was ca6, as in ca6 oil

2:12 am

jillibus

Yuck!

2:13 am

Douglas

I have 3 a words, would it help to give stats?

2:14 am

jillibus

not really -- I have lickety up.

2:14 am

jillibus

Thanks anyway.

2:15 am

jillibus

I wouldn't mind real clues, though ;)

2:15 am

jillibus

Ah -- just got as5/12

2:16 am

Douglas

In the first book, O Theophilus

2:16 am

jillibus

That's too cryptic for me, sorry!

2:17 am

jillibus

(got the pl too, of course)

2:17 am

Douglas

It's the first bit of the first verse in the Book of ac4

2:18 am

jillibus

ty for the Book of Ac4

2:18 am

jillibus

Do I have to go and get my Bible?

2:20 am

Douglas

Most folk consider the Gospel of Luke and the book of Acts to be two connected works written by the same author and/or edited by the same editor

2:21 am

forwardbyfaith

ac6,7- to confront or challenge

2:21 am

Douglas

Not really

2:22 am

jillibus

The former treatise....(I did look it up) ;)

2:24 am

Douglas

I'm dating myself with a geezer translation...what translation are you using?

2:24 am

jillibus

St James, isn't it? I'm not a Bible student.

2:25 am

jillibus

thanks, faith -- finally got them. I'm just too sleepy to see things quickly

2:26 am

forwardbyfaith

yw!

2:26 am

jillibus

King James, I mean, duh.

2:29 am

jillibus

"The former treatise have I made, O Theophilus..."

2:30 am

Douglas

I like bible.cc, as it puts a bunch of translations for a given verse in front of me at once

2:32 am

Douglas

The 2 words forward clued, and the word I clued are the total of all my a words

2:33 am

forwardbyfaith

ac5 - the person who does the ac4 word you clued doug

2:36 am

rubyfoo

I don't really have time to play right now (still have a houseguest), but wanted to say "Good Morning"

2:39 am

jillibus

hi ruby!

2:39 am

jillibus

and ty again, faith

2:40 am

rubyfoo

if you check my new profile, you can see a link to my son, John's first CD! I am so proud and have gotten a lot of great feedback from my friends. Sprite has even become a fan! Bless her heart!

2:40 am

jillibus

i

2:42 am

jillibus

I did see that, ruby, and quite enjoyed Justine although I'm not a rock fan ;

2:43 am

rubyfoo

ty jilli

2:43 am

rubyfoo

I raised him on rock and roll and it paid off!

2:47 am

jillibus

That's great! I can see wy you're proud :)

2:51 am

jillibus

ach -- too tired to type right -- time for bed -- goodnight all, and thanks for the help! *poof*

2:59 am

Douglas

Following John on Twitter...I've heard that Arthur Brown, psychedelic Godfather, is living in Austin

3:00 am

sandyloo

ruby, have gone to the site do you have to log in to hearit

3:02 am

Douglas

I think all you have to do is click on the black play buttons next to the songs

3:02 am

sandyloo

i tried that but I will try again thanks doug

3:05 am

lynxxx

yummm sc***s are in the grid - which reminds me that I forgot to make some pumpkin ones on Sunday, maybe tomorrow

3:06 am

Douglas

Grayed the eastern column

3:09 am

Douglas

When I was a child, I recall a commercial with the cherry jingle "Call ****-Rooter, that's the name, and away go troubles, down the drain."

3:10 am

lynxxx

that would be met with much sniggering here

3:12 am

Douglas

*cheery*

3:13 am

Haz1558

Good morning/evening all.

3:13 am

FMitch

Morning evening lynxx and Doug

3:13 am

FMitch

Oh and hello Haz!

3:13 am

Haz1558

Gosh, it's like a pincer movement from the Brits!

3:13 am

lynxxx

Hi Haz & FM, what a nice double

3:14 am

FMitch

Good grid today but a tad short.

3:14 am

Haz1558

Timing - you can't teach it.

3:14 am

FMitch

LOL

3:14 am

lynxxx

certainly easier than yesterday.

3:15 am

FMitch

Didn't get time to do yesterdays.
Sun is shining so alls well in this neck of the woods.

3:15 am

Haz1558

Have you got the house nice and tidy for your cleaner, FM?

3:16 am

Andree

hi everyone

3:16 am

Haz1558

Hello, Andree! Nice to see you.

3:16 am

lynxxx

hi Andree

3:16 am

Douglas

The blank tiles on the west coast are rather nasty

3:16 am

Haz1558

Don't say that, Douglas, you'll give them a complex.

3:16 am

FMitch

oh ha ha Haz, his book is written with the 'to dos' and he is due at 9.30 as are the window cleaners so domesticity reigns here this morning.

3:17 am

FMitch

Hi Andree!

3:17 am

Haz1558

And do you stay around to supervise operations? Draped on a chaise longue with a drink and a languid air?

3:18 am

Haz1558

Or do you just get on with work with a mirror strategically placed to see all that's going on?

3:18 am

FMitch

*grins at the image of me draped on a chaise*
I just let them get on with it.

3:18 am

lynxxx

dear me Haz, do I detect a wee hint of jealousy?

3:19 am

Andree

or do you use a white glove

3:19 am

Haz1558

lynxxx, what a thought! If the cleaner turns out to be a George Clooney lookalike, then perhaps I might turn a delicate shade of green.

3:19 am

lynxxx

mind you I am dead set jealous.

3:19 am

FMitch

Ahh I have been known to run a finger over door and picture frames.

3:20 am

Haz1558

(Makes note to attend to door and picture frames)

3:20 am

Andree

jelous here too

3:21 am

FMitch

HAving a cleaner is an indulgence I am happy to pay for and they do is so much better than I or should that be me?

3:21 am

Andree

jealous too

3:21 am

lynxxx

Anyone who works should have a cleaner

3:21 am

FMitch

It is only once a fortnight.

3:22 am

sandyloo

I had cleaners when the kids were little but now i can't justify getting them into the shed!

3:22 am

FMitch

It was v cold overnight but luckily no frost.
Hi sandy.

3:23 am

lynxxx

the shed?

3:23 am

Andree

hi sandy

3:23 am

sandyloo

LOL, but we will see when the new house is built ....(she said in trepidation of keeping the house clean)

3:23 am

FMitch

Oh there goes the doorbell, back in a while.

3:23 am

Haz1558

Mr Sheen has arrived!

3:23 am

sandyloo

Lyn, we are living in our shed on the farm. We have our Nedlands house up for sale and we are going to build a new house here

3:24 am

FMitch

:)

3:24 am

sandyloo

Does Mr Sheen wear a 'thong'

3:24 am

lynxxx

Hope the building moves along swiftly for you

3:25 am

Haz1558

That's what neighbours nicknamed a very houseproud man who lived near us. He was always polishing or dusting or doing something domestic. His wife just let him get on with it, she couldn't meet his exacting standards.

3:25 am

lynxxx

lol, what are you suggesting Sandy!

3:26 am

sandyloo

Oldest daughter is an architect and she has yet to come up with the working drawings - I don't care though, the shed is fun and it is gorgeous here - and not so much house work (we have separate bedrooms and a kitchen and bathroom

3:26 am

Haz1558

FM will do well not to set up that mirror if he does appear like that.

3:27 am

sandyloo

Haz, our current prime minister looks JUST like Mr Sheen - he is the absolute image!!

3:27 am

Douglas

Running out of gas...good night all

3:27 am

Haz1558

Good night, Douglas.

3:27 am

Andree

bye douglas

3:27 am

lynxxx

goodnight Douglas

3:28 am

Haz1558

We're going to have a new PM.

3:28 am

lynxxx

The guy with the attractive pregnant wife?

3:28 am

sandyloo

Yes I saw that Haz

3:29 am

Haz1558

We don't know yet. All we know is that Gordon Brown is going to stand down as party leader by September.

3:29 am

Andree

friends husband does all their housework and his fav. job in the world is vaccumning.... go figure

3:29 am

sandyloo

Mitch's cleaner must wear a thong - she rushed off very fast!

3:30 am

sandyloo

mine doesn't know what a vacuum cleaner is

3:30 am

lynxxx

I am getting worried about your obsession with thong wearing cleaners Sandy

3:31 am

sandyloo

Uh Oh! Nikki is going to watch THAT show (B&B)

3:31 am

sandyloo

I'm picturing Mr Rudd in a thong at the moment

3:32 am

Haz1558

Have you been skipping your medication, sandyloo? You know you need to take those tablets every day to keep the bad thoughts away.

3:32 am

sandyloo

LOL and I can see those gleaming cheeks (of Mr Rudd) to match his gleaming cheeks

3:33 am

lynxxx

ewww - wasn't Abbot enough for you

3:33 am

Haz1558

And you're worried about your daughter watching a soap opera?

3:33 am

sandyloo

I don't like any of our politicians at the moment lyn

3:34 am

lynxxx

I think she means with or without thongs on too

3:34 am

sandyloo

A friend of mine is married to one and she goes on all sorts of trips at our expense! (half her luck) but it isn't right

3:36 am

sandyloo

aaaaah , Haz , don't tell me you are a fan of THAT show! She also watches Corrie but I like that

3:36 am

Haz1558

No, we don't have the B and B show over here. Bold and Beautiful, is that it?

3:37 am

sandyloo

yes , that's the one

3:38 am

Haz1558

It's been going for a long time, hasn't it? They're probably on their 50th long lost child, 100th rare disease.

3:38 am

sandyloo

My mum watches the B&B as well and she is a very intelligent woman - I guess it's her 'guilty pleasure'

3:39 am

sandyloo

It has been going for ever and the main stars are looking like old floor rugs

3:40 am

Andree

probably wearing old floor rugs on their heads too

Haz1558

It's the ending of the as9.

3:44 am

Haz1558

3:44 am

Haz1558

Sorry, last letter changed to a vowel.

3:45 am

Andree

3:45 am

Haz1558

You're welcome.

3:47 am

Andree

3:47 am

Haz1558

You're welcome, the name part stands alone as well.

3:47 am

sandyloo

thanks from me too

3:47 am

Haz1558

No problem sandy. Anything to get your mind off men in thongs....

3:48 am

sandyloo

now i'm thinking of buying my husband one]

3:49 am

Haz1558

EIther vacuum or you're wearing thongs? Poor man, what an ultimatum.

3:50 am

sandyloo

the combination would be good

3:50 am

sandyloo

We should have a 'babble husband thong wearing day'

3:51 am

Haz1558

Seriously, sandy, find those wee tablets now and take a hefty dose.

3:51 am

lynxxx

what! with my husband's chicken legs! you jest

3:53 am

Haz1558

sandyloo, I saw you mentioning Grand Designs the other day - is it the British one with Kevin McCloud?

3:53 am

sandyloo

It is and it is one of my favourite shows

3:54 am

Andree

it is a good show

3:54 am

lynxxx

mmm Kevin McCloud - now he could be nice in a thong

3:54 am

Haz1558

I watch it as well. It's funny, you can tell how old they are by how much hair he has on top. My favourites are where people restore and add to old buildings and breathe new life into them.

3:54 am

lynxxx

did you all see he Grand Tour short series?

3:55 am

lynxxx

he = his

3:55 am

Haz1558

I saw bits of it. He's not your average TV presenter, is he?

3:55 am

sandyloo

I loved one where they restored a absolutely derelict old castle

3:56 am

Andree

25 left, back later

3:56 am

sandyloo

It was a mass of rubble to begin with

3:56 am

sandyloo

58 left here

3:56 am

Haz1558

Was that the one where they put a spectacular modern roof on? I was in awe of that and the dedication of the couple.

3:57 am

Haz1558

See you later, Andree.

3:58 am

sandyloo

Me too Haz, it was such a challenge, I thought they were mad!

3:59 am

Haz1558

I wouldn't even have contemplate starting. He (Francis Shaw) looked like an office bound civil servant, he just didn't look the type to do so much hard physical work.

3:59 am

Haz1558

*contemplated

4:01 am

FMitch

Back again :)

4:01 am

Haz1558

And what to report, FM?

4:01 am

sandyloo

I couldn't believe they actually finished it - does my memory serve me correctly when I am thinking that they made it into a bed and breakfast to support the finance at the end

4:02 am

Haz1558

Yes, that's right, sandy.

4:02 am

FMitch

sparking windows.

4:02 am

FMitch

or sparkling even

4:03 am

Haz1558

That's a sure fire way of getting the rain to tip down in about 15 minutes.

4:03 am

sandyloo

Hmmm, Mitch is he wearing a thong?

4:03 am

FMitch

sandy did you manage to listen to rubys sons tracks?

4:03 am

FMitch

Forgive me for leaving the ' out of that Haz.

4:04 am

FMitch

LOL no he is not.

4:04 am

sandyloo

No, I have tried but I have a new computer and maybe it needs something downloaded...I don't know..

4:04 am

sandyloo

That's your story Mitch!

4:04 am

FMitch

shall we say he bats for the other team.

4:04 am

FMitch

Shame sandy they are both very good tracks.

4:05 am

sandyloo

In that case he probably looks great in that thong

4:05 am

sandyloo

I am going to keep trying

4:05 am

FMitch

LOL

4:05 am

sandyloo

Take a photo and put it on your icon.

4:07 am

FMitch

Oh yes I can see that working, umm *excuse me can I just take a pic of you as the world wants to see you in a thong* How to scare off the dometic help!

4:08 am

sandyloo

and it could be a bit 'racey' for us (not for you though)

4:08 am

Haz1558

It was never like that in Mr Hudson's day.

4:08 am

Haz1558

Jeeves would not approve either.

4:09 am

FMitch

Oh dear Mr Hudson, loved that series.

4:09 am

sandyloo

Is Mr Hudson your old family retainer Haz (I love Jeeves and Wooster)

4:09 am

FMitch

heavens I am losing my punctuation all over the place.

4:10 am

Haz1558

Mr Hudson as seen in Upstairs Downstairs. The ac5/s name will come back to me.

4:10 am

sandyloo

No wonder with what is going on in your house, mitch

Points for lynxxx!

4:12 am

FMitch

4:12 am

4:13 am

Haz1558

He appeared in a wonderful TV production of A town like Alice - years ago now, but it has always stuck in my memory.

4:13 am

FMitch

lynxx, happened to be reading the chat yesterday when yu said about stews antics when you are making the bed, made me laugh but I couldn't comment at the time as I was on the phone.

4:14 am

lynxxx

He is cheeky, does the same thing when I am trying to lift or move the rug to vacuum

4:15 am

FMitch

*grin*
Talking of dogs, train of thought to Hobbit and then to Ata, wonder if she made it home OK yesterday?

4:15 am

Haz1558

I was just thinking that. We've got a lot of catching up to do.

4:16 am

sandyloo

whoops time to feed and rug the nags bbl, lovely to talk to you all

4:16 am

Haz1558

We'll need to find out if the leg was broken, for a start.

4:16 am

Haz1558

Bye sandy.

4:16 am

lynxxx

4:16 am

lynxxx

4:16 am

Good morning all..........yes she is home she wrote on fb about her long uncomfortable trip back.

4:17 am

lynxxx

hi Caitlyn

4:17 am

Haz1558

See? She talks to facebook and not to us, FM. Are you miffed? I'm miffed.

4:17 am

caitlyn

LOL

4:17 am

Haz1558

I've never been so miffed.

4:17 am

Haz1558

OKay, there was the Tescos incident, maybe I was more miffed then.

4:17 am

Haz1558

I cut up a credit card that time.

4:18 am

gortmold

hey babblers, clue for the ac6 and the an5 please?

4:18 am

lynxxx

wow

4:18 am

caitlyn

That must have been a bad miff for you to do that

4:18 am

Haz1558

as6 - comes at the beginning of a pick and mix, an as6 ment of sweets.

4:18 am

lynxxx

an5 a & air ***ditioning

4:19 am

lynxxx

ac6 type of shrub/tree common in SA & Aust

4:19 am

Haz1558

Oh, I was cross! Tesco credit card and loyalty card shredded and sent to the manager with a letter of protest.

4:19 am

Haz1558

(Just wondering if I should shred anything and send it to Ata)

4:19 am

lynxxx

SA South Africa (not Sth Aust)

4:19 am

gortmold

thanks lyn and haz, sorry, i meant the 2nd ac6/24

4:20 am

lynxxx

ac6 held up or fronted

4:20 am

Haz1558

ac6/24 - to meet someone in a violent manner. ac plus the price of something.

4:20 am

lynxxx

What DID Tesco's do Haz, I knew you despised them but?

4:20 am

gortmold

ahh of course (smites noggin), thanks again haz and lyn

4:22 am

Haz1558

lynxxx, it was all to do with the way they managed the changeover to a new store. Basically, they allowed their old store to run down so much that it couldn't be considered worthy of the name of a shop. They were so greedy that they couldn't just shut it down and say 'We'll open our new store in a week's time'. Instead, they allowed shoppers like me to waste their time trying to get groceries from near empty shelves. I just felt they treated their customers like dirt.

4:23 am

caitlyn

That is bad Haz, do you shop there now?

4:23 am

Haz1558

So, I wrote and protested and told them I wouldn't be shopping in their new store, even though I'd been a loyal customer for years. They never even acknowledged my letter.

4:24 am

Haz1558

Tescos is a no-go zone!

4:24 am

Haz1558

It's become a bit of a family joke, people admit sheepishly that they've bought something in Tescos etc.

4:24 am

lynxxx

that does sound poor

4:24 am

FMitch

Sorry am on phone call back in a bit.

4:24 am

caitlyn

okay FM

4:25 am

Haz1558

I'm afraid that once my good opinion is lost, it's extremely difficult to get it back. If they'd even said 'Sorry you were inconvienced'' I might have felt better, but no.

4:25 am

Haz1558

*inconvenienced

4:26 am

lynxxx

I'm down to 20 and so cold leaving to get some sweet potato and leek soup. See you all tomorrow I hope. Night

4:26 am

caitlyn

These big shops really do not care about the customers feelings, only their profit margin

4:26 am

Haz1558

Apparently my major complaint when I came back from that abortive shopping trip was 'You couldn't even buy a carrot' - as if that qualifies a supermarket to call itself a supermarket.

4:26 am

Haz1558

Exactly, caitlyn, and I just thought that I'm not going to add to their profits any more.

4:27 am

caitlyn

Bye lyn keep warm

4:27 am

Haz1558

Night, lynxxx, sleep well.

4:28 am

Haz1558

Okay, time I was doing something else. I'll need to take an extra blood pressure tablet now that I'm miffed about Ata and remembering the fury over Tescos!

4:29 am

Haz1558

Nice to talk to you, caitlyn. Have a good day!

4:29 am

Haz1558

*gone*

4:30 am

4:58 am

rubyfoo

Just planted greens in the garden and took out 4 tomato plants that had died from all the rain. If we don't get some sunshine soon, I had better start growing mushrooms and snails

rubyfoo

hello movieman

4:58 am

sprite

hey movie my man

4:58 am

rubyfoo

Last night, movieman, I saw Good Morning England again. Do you know the movie? Philip Seymour Hoffman and Bill Nighy. It's about sex, drugs and rock and roll and is one of my faves!

4:59 am

movieman

is anyone else having probs with the left hand column?

4:59 am

Eva

I planted spinach and kale a few weeks ago, but even thought it seemed like early summer, have lived in new england long enough not to be fooled. Snow twice since then and expected again within the next few days.

4:59 am

sprite

nope, all letters clear here. Do you have red x's?

4:59 am

Eva

yes movie

4:59 am

rubyfoo

I was only on for about 15 mins earlier, got nothing in the left-hand column and only 24 words

5:00 am

rubyfoo

somewhat distracted, you might say LOL

5:00 am

movieman

Ruby, you mean The Boat That Rocked?

5:00 am

movieman

That's what it is called over here

5:00 am

sprite

oh.... jeezzz I am being dense. Sorry, didn't understand. So far going well but only just started.

5:00 am

rubyfoo

We planted spinach and kale plus 12 strawberry plants and 6 new raspberries

5:00 am

rubyfoo

Yes, that must be it. I was going by what they put in the French TV guide.

5:01 am

Eva

are the berries hardy? I have mine from past years so they are doing fine

5:01 am

rubyfoo

Did you like it?

5:01 am

movieman

Not seen it yet Ruby

5:01 am

movieman

But may decide to purchase in the near future

5:03 am

rubyfoo

I had raspberries before, but they didn't have enough sun and pushed out the blackberries. These are new ones and should be very hardy here

5:03 am

rubyfoo

It's a charming movie IF you like 60's rock and roll

5:03 am

rubyfoo

you have to like the music

5:04 am

Eva

finally found two of the left u's!

5:04 am

movieman

Well, I DO like 60s music......

5:04 am

rubyfoo

the DH wouldn't watch it!

5:04 am

movieman

5:04 am

rubyfoo

5:05 am

rubyfoo

for the E, think of playing on stage, plus 3rd person singular, + person doing it

5:05 am

movieman

ty eva

5:05 am

rubyfoo

It's interesting that, in French movies or even commercials, when they need music, they use either British or American music as their stuff is such derivative junk!

5:05 am

Eva

the bottom e isn't bad although I'm still missing one

5:06 am

rubyfoo

nice clues, sprite, ty

5:07 am

rubyfoo

I'm being rude to our guest, but after all that gardening, it feels good to sit down for a minute

5:08 am

sprite

yvw and your guest will appreciate your being more relaxed later on

5:08 am

rubyfoo

since John's disc came out, I can't stop smiling!

5:08 am

rubyfoo

and he is my husband's best friend, so they can talk over aperitifs without me!

5:09 am

sprite

one E is french for boring, irritating

5:09 am

rubyfoo

5:09 am

rubyfoo

I missed the boring one, lol, ty sprite

5:09 am

sandyloo

ruby, I have been to the site but it won't play, do I have to log in maybe?

5:10 am

rubyfoo

you are on of my few quadrilingual (or is it cinquelingual?) friends

5:10 am

sprite

yvw :)

5:11 am

rubyfoo

maybe, to reverbnation. It's free and doesn't seem to be obtrusive. Since John is a computer guy by day, I think it's a safe site!

5:11 am

sprite

and the single E is an Ec7. First 3 letters are the start of environmentally correct things, last 4 the sound of an musical instrument.

5:11 am

rubyfoo

how are you, sandyloo? My husband actually noticed my improved mood this morning. Too funny!

5:12 am

rubyfoo

elegant clue, sprite

5:12 am

Eva

5:12 am

sprite

thanks :)
Oh, I tried eunuch too!

5:12 am

rubyfoo

hey, a eunuch would be a good person to have around!!!!

5:13 am

Eva

Funny how one tries things which are missing a letter.

5:13 am

Eva

cane

5:13 am

it is the nature of the mind to try and fill in the blanks, I think

5:13 am

Eva

sorry!

5:14 am

rubyfoo

other people's little mistakes are usually a boon to my inept babble-mind

5:14 am

It is nice to know we are not the only ones trying silly things ;)

5:15 am

movieman

anyone have the n words yet?

5:15 am

rubyfoo

silly is as silly does! This is such a kind group, not like the Lexulous sharks (of which I was almost one)

5:15 am

Eva

I keep trying for sw words and not getting anywhere

5:17 am

Eva

and actually the word i was trying would need an "h" too in english -nachon

5:17 am

Jayk

Thx Sprite! Those were pesky

5:17 am

sprite

yeah that H is in the wrong place

5:17 am

rubyfoo

Jayk

the E is also in the wrong place!

5:18 am

SPRITEE. I saw new shoes and want one of each pair :D

5:30 am

sprite

lollllll what a wonderful idea!

5:31 am

sprite

and when you walk around with one of each pair, people will say: you have odd shoes! And you can say: yeah, isn't it weird, and I have exactly the same pair at home too!

5:32 am

herinfernallady

Sprite I would love to. Problem is you have USA price plus sales tax import tax and postage so your cheep cheap shoes are not so cheap when you get them

5:32 am

sprite

no I bet. Still, glad you found great shoes.

5:33 am

herinfernallady

I love shoes but you know my wallet doesn't

5:34 am

as9: cryptic clue: the bottom of N***y Boy :)

5:34 am

you can wear them in your dreams

5:37 am

herinfernallady

I am proceeding to ''check out'' the shoes to see what it will hurt the wallet

5:37 am

sprite

ohoh... hold that fingeer.......

5:41 am

herinfernallady

Sprite how is you and yours today?

5:41 am

herinfernallady

Sprite It will cost half the shoes in postage :(

5:42 am

sprite

son is great, daughter is fine, hubby is tired and not feeling too well. I am a little shaken from therapy, but not unhappy with it... am very impatient with getting better though.

5:42 am

sprite

that is crazy, lady. Don't. Maybe you can find them closer to home.

5:42 am

Trifioso

herin!!! wait! if you want to order shoes from here, tell ME, and I will order them for you and send them over! I do it for my BIL all the time! what I pay for shipping and postage to Oz is literally a FRACTION of what you will!

5:43 am

sprite

great idea, Trif! And hi :)

5:44 am

Trifioso

hiyas. I am not really here yet, since I don't have NBT, and usually don't chat until I do, but I could let dear herin go into debt for shoes!

5:44 am

herinfernallady

Trifs you sure I mean seriously shoes are an absolute mega itch to send

5:44 am

sprite

you are such a great person, Trif

5:44 am

sprite

even though you aren't really here

5:44 am

Trifioso

I do it all the time herin! do you have a paypal account? that is what my BIL uses to pay me back

5:44 am

Trifioso

It's not a big deal at all!

5:45 am

herinfernallady

Trifs that is wonderful. I will get to you when I get $$$. i will use my credit card ship it to you then post to me if that works. I will send you a FB message if and when I do it

5:46 am

Trifioso

we could absolutely do it that way, but check they don't tax you Oz rates. See, if I pay for them, I pay for US tax rates and US shipping. Or hang on - what store are you getting them from?

5:47 am

herinfernallady

See how can a girl resist.

I am dancing all around it, sprite, but can't quite get the bottom half one. will keep trying. LOVED that cryptic clue,

5:51 am

herinfernallady

I have to get $$ first. I will first of all tell you when we do it. The credit card is debit so there is no need for me to sell a kidney

5:51 am

sprite

:D :D

5:51 am

Trifioso

see, this is what I am saying! $6 whole dollars, vs. what you would have paid. do you need them right away, or can they take the slow boat?

5:52 am

herinfernallady

I am not sure yet. I have to get $$ first

5:53 am

Trifioso

c'est va. just let me know, dear one

5:54 am

6:10 am

Trifioso

no, just not time for her to be awake yet. Oh, I suppose that was an update for you too, herin. she is still sleeping in my bed, though she IS working on it. the therapist I got her is SO NICE! I am really glad that part worked out so well.

6:12 am

Trifioso

good point, sandy! will do

6:12 am

angelskye

6:12 am

herinfernallady

I was I think 16 and I used to get really bad nightmares and I would sleep in the hall near my parents or I would sleep on the floor

6:12 am

sandyloo

this is the chog angel, it means the chat

6:12 am

Trifioso

you are in it angel. it is what we chat in

6:13 am

Trifioso

i think its a combo of chat and log...is that right?

6:13 am

dcseain

this is, angel - chog is a portmanteau of chat and log

6:13 am

angelskye

i get it now lol!

6:13 am

dcseain

hello, everyone :)

6:13 am

sandyloo

hi dc

6:13 am

6:14 am

JBV

hi Trif, sandy, angel, herin and everyone

6:14 am

6:14 am

hi, sandy, jbv, trif, angel, et al

6:15 am

good morning everyone

6:15 am

6:15 am

herinfernallady

Hi DC

6:15 am

dcseain

hi, herin

6:15 am

Trifioso

good morning crossy. oh, I have shocking news for you, my fine lad!

6:15 am

sandyloo

herin, I went to your 'tinyurl' are those the boots you want?

6:15 am

crosshair

?

6:15 am

dcseain

morning, crossy

6:16 am

Trifioso

I got sent home from work yesterday -- food poisoning. dare I tell you what the offending food article was? and it got to the children too!

6:16 am

crosshair

howdy dc

6:16 am

crosshair

oh no

6:16 am

crosshair

not bacon?

6:16 am

Trifioso

got it in one. oh, its the food of the gods, but when it turns on you, look OUT

6:16 am

crosshair

was it old,cross contamination or outdated?

6:16 am

dcseain

time to feed the kids (i'm babysitting) bbs

6:17 am

crosshair

see i do not have that problem as i have never had bacon sit in my fridge any longer than 2 days lol

6:17 am

Trifioso

I have no idea. just that it was not a good idea to eat. good thing about food poisoning though is that you can set your watch by it. 12 hours, all done

6:18 am

crosshair

yup

6:18 am

sandyloo

are you sure it wasn't bacon crossy?

6:18 am

Trifioso

of course, now i have conditioned taste aversion for bacon. will be a loooooong time before i can eat it again. oh well. more for you!

6:19 am

JBV

test question to see who wins this office argument: rice cakes with an expiration date one month old - I was the only one "daring" enough to eat them, I said they taste like stale cardboard when they're fresh, what difference could an expiration date make?

6:19 am

crosshair

my M.I.L used to take pride in how she could make a pound of bacon last for 2 weeks by only doling it out 2 strips at a time.imho,thats not something to boast but a sad waste of the bacon experience

6:19 am

EspritdJean

I agree with u JB

6:19 am

Trifioso

I am with you on that one, jbv. any food in a dried state is fine for eternity as far as I can see. it might not taste as good, but it can't hurt you

6:19 am

Merk

Good morning

6:19 am

JBV

ok, good, so far no food poisoning from old rice cakes

6:19 am

Trifioso

morning merk

6:20 am

EspritdJean

highly doubtful

6:20 am

sandyloo

i'd say they would taste exactly the same

6:20 am

sandyloo

even a year later

6:20 am

crosshair

i once had animal crackers that were a year old,too many chemicals to go bad

6:20 am

Trifioso

rotfl sandy

6:20 am

JBV

you should have seen how they all looked at me tho, people are so phobic about some things

6:20 am

EspritdJean

true

6:21 am

EspritdJean

I used to work with someone like that, wouldn't touch a thing if it was one day past the "pull" date

6:21 am

herinfernallady

Can I add my 2 cents. I am shocked that the WOD allows psuedo child porn

6:21 am

crosshair

when i was a teen,i used to win bets by eating milk bones..the veggie kind are the best

6:21 am

Trifioso

my next door neighbor is an undertaker, and he was telling me that at a conference he attended they said that people are now taking YEARS longer to decompose, due to the fact that by the time we die we are loaded with preservatives. charming, huh?

6:21 am

JBV

WOD?

6:21 am

Merk

This grid appears to have lots of twists and turns.

6:21 am

JBV

but I bet they are still charging the same for embalming !

6:21 am

crosshair

my wife is like that if a fly does a touch and leave on her food it will go right in the garbage

6:22 am

sandyloo

herin, I looked at those boots, now Nikki has made me bookmark the page and she is on the boot trail!

6:22 am

Trifioso

world of disney? that wouldn't shock me

6:22 am

herinfernallady

No World of Dance

6:22 am

herinfernallady

O dear Sandy

6:22 am

Trifioso

we have a healthy "two second rule" here

6:22 am

JBV

I also work with a crew who go through gallons of hand sanitizer - I can't stand the smell of it and never use it - so they know I have a "hand-sanitizer-free-zone" around me at all times

6:23 am

sandyloo

I will eat whatever i can get

6:23 am

Merk

I am enjoying reading your chat.

6:23 am

Trifioso

sandy same deal holds - if you want them, ship them to me, and I will ship them to you. it will save you TONS of money, trust me! do it for the BIL in perth all the time when he wants to order stuff from Victorias secret for his wife

6:23 am

EspritdJean

I just use the sniff test, if it makes your eyes water, don't eat it

6:23 am

sandyloo

also drink whatever i can get

6:23 am

sandyloo

LOL jean

6:24 am

Trifioso

I sort of rely on the "rainbow test" -- think of old ham. if it has that rainbow thing going on, out it goes

6:24 am

EspritdJean

;-p

6:24 am

crosshair

hand sanitizer also makes me queazy jbv but i think it is an association think from all my time at princcess magerettes

6:24 am

sandyloo

Thanks trif, but I haven't said yes to anything (except a glass of wine) yet!

6:24 am

JBV

i don't understand how they can rub it all over their hands and then eat lunch - it's like eating soap

6:25 am

Trifioso

I must admit, I have mixed feelings about all that sanitizing. I am more afraid of super sanitizer resistant germs than regular germs

6:25 am

sandyloo

Merk, you should have been on earlier -FMitch had a cleaning person (male) and we suspected he was wearing a thong

6:25 am

EspritdJean

I second that Tri

6:25 am

JBV

good ol' soap and water for me

6:25 am

crosshair

i had to use that stuff ten or more times a day on and off for 3 years,so i had enough of it for a bit

6:25 am

JBV

where was that crossy? did you work in a hospital?

6:26 am

Merk

clue for the 9 please

6:26 am

crosshair

lol cancer hospital for my 3 episodes,immune system goes to hell

6:26 am

JBV

oh, I see - so glad that is over for you, crossy

6:26 am

sandyloo

I am very suss when I go to visit in hospitals , I must admit to not liking touching anything

6:26 am

Trifioso

can we celebrate that "scort" isn't an acceptable word?

6:26 am

JBV

great chat, folks, but time for me to start on my day - see you later and good luck with the grid

6:27 am

crosshair

yup all clear and causing chaos;))

6:27 am

EspritdJean

yeah it's not the 70's any more Tri

6:27 am

Trifioso

merk, I am going to pass on sprite's amazing clue: bottom half of N***y boy

6:27 am

EspritdJean

6:27 am

Merk

Does anyone have a clue for the 9 please? Thanx

herinfernallady

I think we are too clean these days.

6:28 am

sandyloo

I'm not

6:28 am

Trifioso

.....and a hush falls over the chog as everyone dives in in search of the nine.....

6:29 am

sandyloo

Herin, are you watching Masterchef?

6:29 am

Trifioso

a few days with my tribe will cure you of that notion, herin my dear

6:29 am

Merk

I trying to think of what N***y is.

6:29 am

sandyloo

6:29 am

sandyloo

6:29 am

Trifioso

6:29 am

EspritdJean

6:30 am

EspritdJean

6:30 am

Merk

And what's so special about his bottom half?

6:30 am

sandyloo

6:30 am

EspritdJean

6:30 am

bichon

what does the as9 have to do with N***y boy?

6:30 am

Trifioso

6:31 am

crosshair

6:31 am

herinfernallady

Trifioso

6:39 am

crosshair

6:39 am

6:39 am

crosshair

6:40 am

herinfernallady

Cross what does the other half do again?

6:40 am

crosshair

red greene makes wallets out of it trif lol

6:40 am

Trifioso

my dad SWEARS by the universal rule of home repair - if it moves and it shouldn't duct tape. if it doesn't move and it should, WD40

6:40 am

crosshair

wise words

6:40 am

Trifioso

my son makes EVERYTHING out of it crossy - shoes, wallets, folders, you name it

I feel like I'm stuttering with the first batch of ca words.

6:43 am

herinfernallady

Cross the b.f works in Air con heating and such

6:43 am

Trifioso

though I do worry those kids sweated like crazy in some of those outfits

6:43 am

Trifioso

herin, these are RIGHT up your alley, my dear girl! I can see you doing something as creative

6:43 am

crosshair

lol!!!!!

6:44 am

herinfernallady

I have seen it

6:46 am

Trifioso

herin, remember those costumes I made for secondos play? the school sent me a notice yesterday - they want them all returned, plus a $50 rental fee paid to the school. HUH?

6:46 am

crosshair

crossy hits herins bf over the head with a roll of duct tape

6:47 am

herinfernallady

Tell them to go get stuffed

6:47 am

herinfernallady

Crossy that isn't nice

6:47 am

crosshair

there is also this big wide weaved aluminium sticky wrap herin

6:47 am

herinfernallady

Did you tell the school that the costumes went to the students?

6:48 am

Trifioso

I am sure herin could find a better use for duct tape and her boyfriend (wa wa waaaaaaaaaaaa)

6:48 am

crosshair

ohhh kinky...

6:48 am

herinfernallady

Chicka walla

6:49 am

Trifioso

if memory serves....

6:49 am

herinfernallady

Trifs did you 'make' the costumes off the top of your head? Did the school pay for the materials or did the students pay? Did they give you any sort of contract?

6:51 am

Trifioso

I made the costumes and the school reimbursed me for materials. there was never any mention of "rent" or any cost to the parents, and as far as I know none of the other parents had to surrender the costumes. I see their point about having the parents contribute to the materials fee, but then let the kids keep them.

6:51 am

crosshair

so they just wanted you to make costumes for their supply room...how nice

6:52 am

herinfernallady

so tell them STUFF YOU.

6:52 am

Trifioso

due to the nature and materials the costumes can never be washed, so how gross is it to think they are going to be worn by other kids? and please, what other play is going to call for four multicolored birds with vegas style headdresses? Our town?

6:53 am

herinfernallady

Maybe one of the teachers is a closet drag queen

6:53 am

Trifioso

"maybe"?????

6:54 am

herinfernallady

Ps bf says to tell them to shove it up their butts unless there was anything in writting

6:54 am

Folies Bergeres apprenticeship? :-D

6:54 am

Trifioso

I mean, it is not like we are wearing them every day. I really don't care if the school wants them back, they did pay for them. it's the $50 I don't like

6:56 am

10:02 am

CiociaJudy

Fine thx. I hate when work interferes with my Babbling.

10:03 am

10:03 am

CiociaJudy

Thx Scrabs--though maybe you could help Katrina.

10:03 am

rubyfoo

I miss work :(

10:03 am

redturtlehead

oh hi everyone. I wanted to announce that the dog for some reason has relented and I have now been able to trim off the offending toenails. thanks for the encouragement that babblers gave a while ago. we did do it without treat though.

10:03 am

CiociaJudy

ac + how much does that purse ****? (price) + plural

10:03 am

rubyfoo

ac + price

10:03 am

Riverdance

I dont think I will miss it when my time comes to retire

10:04 am

CiociaJudy

good for you red; me either Mom.

10:04 am

Boobear

ty

10:04 am

CiociaJudy

Red, how are you at trimming cat claws?

10:04 am

rubyfoo

I wouldn't mind so much if I was the only one retired, lol

10:04 am

CiociaJudy

yw boo

10:04 am

redturtlehead

I am a bit thrilled beyond belief.

10:04 am

Riverdance

wouldnt that figure - all ready had that word

10:04 am

Riverdance

lol ruby

10:04 am

redturtlehead

Not any good judy. I think cats need a wide berth. All of our cats have been outdoors ones so..

10:05 am

redturtlehead

I know it is dangerous for an outdoors cat, but 2 of them died this year at ages 16 and 18, so...

10:06 am

rubyfoo

those are amazing ages for outdoor cats!

10:06 am

rubyfoo

any clue for the 9 or for either w?

10:07 am

redturtlehead

yes, especially considering they live on 22 acres, with a road in the middle.

10:07 am

rubyfoo

were they hunters?

10:07 am

CiociaJudy

think around your middle minus the last letter (vowel) and plural for the w's ruby

10:07 am

redturtlehead

the w is a w 4 it is like trash without a vowel at the end and plural it.

10:07 am

Riverdance

as9 = what you sit on + vowel + NB's name less last letter

10:07 am

redturtlehead

They were very god hunters, one especially ruby.

10:07 am

redturtlehead

good that it.

10:08 am

rubyfoo

did it bring you "gifts"?

10:08 am

rubyfoo

ty for the w's

10:08 am

CiociaJudy

glad my cats are all indoors; don't like cat gifts LOL

10:08 am

redturtlehead

I think they did. the one was my cat but left at my Mom's house (I am a terrible cat owner.) but they always left them outside. Its very rural, I once found a snake curled up in drawer at that home.

10:08 am

rubyfoo

we have suicidal birds who keep crashing into the windows

10:09 am

Riverdance

had the first w but didnt see the plural **slap** thanks red and ciocia

10:09 am

rubyfoo

in tact or chewed on?

10:09 am

redturtlehead

YW Mom.

10:09 am

redturtlehead

ruby the snake was very alive. I had to call the neighbour to handle it, totally not poisonous, btu very surprising.

10:09 am

rubyfoo

the snake, that is

10:09 am

Riverdance

oh no - not a snake

10:10 am

rubyfoo

that is a wild story!

10:10 am

rubyfoo

mom would have to move!

10:10 am

redturtlehead

thank goodness for good neighbours. she came right over and released the poor thing.

10:10 am

rubyfoo

10:11 am

Riverdance

I would have been on the floor out cold - yes day 20 - woohoo

10:11 am

redturtlehead

CiociaJudy

10:16 am

rubyfoo

10:16 am

rubyfoo

it's like "Cursing Mommy" in The New Yorker

10:16 am

Riverdance

I can tell a difference in my breathing already - just need to get off the meds (chantix) gives me a headache and feeling down most of the time

10:17 am

Riverdance

lol ruby - deep breath now and babble away

10:17 am

rubyfoo

I just don't feel like dealing with anybody real and tomorrow my son is either coming or not....I still don't know for sure!

10:18 am

rubyfoo

10:18 am

Riverdance

10:18 am

rubyfoo

11:39 am

Scrabbler

Still painful + needing meds, but way better than last week.

11:39 am

CiociaJudy

Hmmm. Is there Babbler's insurance to cover injuries?

11:39 am

Scrabbler

11:43 am

joshuavorbis

11:43 am

joshuavorbis

11:43 am

11:46 am

CiociaJudy

11:47 am

joshuavorbis

it has a suffix having to do with the environment, if that helps

11:48 am

Soodle

Hi everybody :) Scrabbler - how is the tooth?

11:48 am

Scrabbler

I found ec7 = prefix related to environment + to4 (hue, color)

11:51 am

guernseygirl

11:52 am

Scrabbler

Our time together is good for all of us as we grieve the loss of Mary/Mommy.

11:52 am

Soodle

11:54 am

Typical - It doesn't seem to be refreshing. Grrr

11:55 am

guernseygirl

it looks very nice on the chog, soodle, i shouldn't worry

11:55 am

CiociaJudy

11:55 am

Soodle

Testing...

11:55 am

Boobear

hi soodle

11:56 am

Soodle

Hi Boo.

11:56 am

stidmama

bye scrabs, sorry, the computer is REALLY slow today

11:56 am

CiociaJudy

Soodle, love the girls' wisdom on your profile!!

11:57 am

stidmama

Judy, school is going. I am going to survive this quarter, and really looking forward to summer, but not sure at all how or whether I will be student teaching.

11:57 am

Soodle

Lol Judy. Theres a lot of truth in it!!

11:57 am

CiociaJudy

Absolutely, Soodle.

11:57 am

CiociaJudy

When do you finish this quarter Stid?

11:58 am

Boobear

is someone's icon too large..the chog is slow

11:58 am

stidmama

back. I refreshed and it's better boo -- I think soodle's old icon was big?

11:59 am

guernseygirl

it was fine on the chog, just too big on the profile

11:59 am

stidmama

the last day of class is June 4
I can hardly wait!

12:00 pm

stidmama

when it's big in the profile, then it is too big for the chog -- the computer still tries to load the entire picture every time the person posts.

12:00 pm

stidmama

so, class starts in half an hour. I am really hoping I am ready. Not sure, but hopeful! LOL I didn't bring any of the books we read for today for some reason. My pack is WAY lighter than normal.

12:02 pm

CiociaJudy

You'll do just fine, Stid.

12:03 pm

stidmama

I think so, Judy. I am currently more concerned about my elder kid who is only just beginning to grasp the realities of not studying in HIS classes (or doing the assignments or ...)

12:04 pm

CiociaJudy

Yikes Stid. What grade is he in now?

12:04 pm

stidmama

first year of running start at the community college... high school grades wouldn't be a big deal, but actual college grades that tank are!

12:05 pm

stidmama

we'll get him figured out. I have already informed him that he is to have a job this summer -- no classes, no lounging around. He obviously needs a dose of reality!

12:05 pm

CiociaJudy

WOW--can't believe he's in college (but of course I'm not getting any older)

12:06 pm

stidmama

neither you nor I, Judy, we are ETERNALLY youthful! LOL

12:07 pm

CiociaJudy

Did you see the pics of the Baltimore Babblefest, Stid?

12:07 pm

stidmama

no I don't think I did Judy -- your profile or seain's?

12:08 pm

stidmama

this grid is only moderately friendly.

12:08 pm

CiociaJudy

mine

12:08 pm

CiociaJudy

12:08 pm

stidmama

*looks for soodles* did I scare her away? (come back, soodles!)

12:08 pm

Gadget

I started this grid thinking it was nice...now the A's scare me!

12:09 pm

stidmama

oh, I will go take a peek. We have FB blocked at home to keep said stidkid from getting sucked in all the time.

12:09 pm

CiociaJudy

CiociaJudy

12:15 pm

Soodle

Look on the bright side, FM. You can carry out some dastardly crime now, and not get caught by your prints!!

12:15 pm

CiociaJudy

LOL Soodle

12:16 pm

FMitch

LOL Soodle!

12:16 pm

stidmama

Soodles, you know if I had the money, and you didn't have a monster volcano practically in your backyard fouling the airspace, I would!!!

12:16 pm

Soodle

Clouds, silver linings and all that...

12:17 pm

Soodle

Stid!! Its not OUR volcano! (What did we ever do to Iceland, anyway....)

12:17 pm

stidmama

well, down to 65, still have blank tiles, but they will have to wait for this evening. See you-all again as sooooooon (not artful dodge of PB) as possible! LOL

12:17 pm

FMitch

Airspace is fairly clear over the UK so far. So all we need to do is get a babble lottery win and then we can all meet up - simple!

12:17 pm

stidmama

I said "practically" soodles... we have actual ones in our backyards!

12:17 pm

CiociaJudy

bye Stid

12:17 pm

stidmama

12:18 pm

Soodle

Byeeee stid

12:18 pm

guernseygirl

it's more, what did iceland do to us? started our recession, possibly.

12:18 pm

FMitch

Didn't Iceland buy out Bejams back in the 80's - can we blame them?

12:19 pm

guernseygirl

got to blame someone.

12:19 pm

Soodle

I think we can blame Iceland for everything! (Theres no Icelandic Babblers, are there?)

12:19 pm

guernseygirl

it's their fault we still have not governemt in the Uk then

12:19 pm

FMitch

Not that I know of, the closest are Scandinavian Babblers.

12:20 pm

12:22 pm

FMitch

Imagine a global meet - we would have to stage it over a couple of days *grins at the prospect*

12:23 pm

CiociaJudy

12:23 pm

1:29 pm

rubyfoo

I am very lucky!

1:30 pm

Boobear

ro 5 just the hen but with a double vowel

while we wait can someone help with the E in the left hand corner, the lower left corner?

1:41 pm

Nancy Boy

same, Katie! I looove wedding dresses...they definitely beat the traditional wedding dress from back home, which is kind of hard to look at

1:42 pm

redturtlehead

oh no, shes run off with the dress.

1:43 pm

EvaNadine

ok, i think im all updated. dunno how well you will be able to see anything (and keep in mind the dress isnt yet fitted either!)

1:43 pm

Nancy Boy

ooooh Eva, I LOVE the way it falls in the back! so graceful!

1:44 pm

MizHoffle

help with the first (?) ac 6/24 please...and I am voting to see the dress

1:44 pm

EvaNadine

this is the designer's website's photo:
http://tinyurl.com/yc5n2tu

1:44 pm

MizHoffle

I am a sucker for anything wedding!

1:45 pm

EvaNadine

when i went to buy it, the designer was in the store, so she gave me a few freebies, such as the extra length needed (since im a little tall) and the crystal buttons that only go part of the way down the back will go ALL the way down to the kick-pleat on MY dress. :)

1:45 pm

Nancy Boy

tall eh? some people have all the luck ;)

1:45 pm

KatieMcG

I thought once I was married I would be 'over' the wedding thing but honestly it's been two years and if anything I am worse I love everything about them

1:46 pm

EvaNadine

and the front of my dress will be altered to a bit of a sweetheart neckline

1:46 pm

EvaNadine

NB, i think im the same height as you, my darling. but apparently in wedding-dress world, thats tall. ;)

1:46 pm

MizHoffle

which one is it?

1:46 pm

KatieMcG

right got the web site which dress is it evan

1:47 pm

EvaNadine

oh, i thought that link went right to the dress!
it is Style No: 31793235

1:47 pm

Nancy Boy

I don't think 5'5" is tall in anyone's world, Eva ;) I'm just silly about it 'cause Leo is a giiiiant

1:47 pm

KatieMcG

I had to get a longer dress as well but luckily my designer was a sweetheart and I didn't have to pay more

1:47 pm

EvaNadine

ahh, im a whopping 5'6"
sometimes theres an extra half-an-inch, if i stand up straight. ;)

1:48 pm

MizHoffle

I'm 5'5" and they actually suggested me get it in petite so I wouldn't have to have it altered

1:48 pm

KatieMcG

i'm 5'11"so needed quite a bit of length.

1:48 pm

Nancy Boy

LOL! I'm 5'5" with shoes on and a VERY straight back. Leo is 6'5" - see what I have to deal with? ;)

1:49 pm

EvaNadine

they basically said that if i was going to wear flats, it would be fine, but if i was going to have even a kitten heel, i should order it taller.
normally, you have to pay for extra length (as katie said) but the designer also gave that to me for free. :)

1:50 pm

MizHoffle

what a pretty dress!!

1:50 pm

EvaNadine

TY, MizH!
i have to say, it actually looks SO much more gorgeous in person!

1:50 pm

MizHoffle

you are quite welcome

1:51 pm

EvaNadine

whenever i was looking for dresses, i kept picking dresses from this one designer. well, she was going to be at the shop for like 2 days, so i made sure to be there when she was there!

1:51 pm

MizHoffle

nice!

1:53 pm

EvaNadine

NB, i was this tall when i was like 10 or 11 years old, so i have always had this complex of being a giant!
it wasnt until college when it dawned on me that 5'6" is really not THAT tall for a girl. :)

1:55 pm

KatieMcG

it's a lovely dress EvaN. I always think that yours are so much cheaper than ours, although I was gutted to find out that the dress I loved was the second cheapest I tried on!

1:56 pm

Nancy Boy

lol, Eva! Well, I was tall until I moved to the UK...people are just giants here. Lots of Leo's shirts just look like dresses on me, LOL!

1:56 pm

EvaNadine

i dont know that i would say mine was cheap... my ideal dress price was like half of this one. but i just fell in love, so i went for it!

1:56 pm

KatieMcG

I was this tall at 14, it was very hard as a teenager but I love it now

1:57 pm

Nancy Boy

I'd love to be as tall as you are Katie - bet the air is fresher up there ;)

1:58 pm

KatieMcG

I think you have to EvaN it is a really special day and you need to love your dress. I didn't mean your dress was cheap it just seems that we have about a 20% markup on your prices. some of my friends have gone to NY to get their dresses they are so much cheaper for the same dress

2:01 pm

Nancy Boy

ugh...how many times am I gonna enter "nuance" today??

2:01 pm

EvaNadine

i hear ya, katie. whenever i have gone shopping when over in england, i have been amazed at the prices there.

4:07 pm

mo

I can give a clue if you need it Meliae.

4:07 pm

meliae

still looking will let you know, thank you

4:07 pm

saintfranny

JC/J.C. is indeed Julian Clary. For some reason, his character keeps coming under attack on here, and it's most distressing to not only him, but to those of us who are his friends. I wish those who have a problem with him would just keep it to themselves and find something better to occupy their time/their comments here on the chog.

4:07 pm

mo

sorry for interrupting saint.

4:08 pm

saintfranny

That is all. And not a problem mo. ;)

4:08 pm

and I think J.C. is OK.

4:12 pm

jmcnrick

my phantom is nano

4:13 pm

I seem to have missed something here.

4:13 pm

personal choices of a babble fodder for his blog? me too mo

4:13 pm

jmcnrick

??

4:14 pm

bichon

mo, your dog is cute

4:14 pm

jmcnrick

a babbler decided to get a pure bred dog and JC posted that information with a diatribe on his blog

4:14 pm

jmcnrick

we all say lots of things here but like vegas what happens in babbleland should stay in babbleland

4:15 pm

Nancy Boy

just scrolled back - I'm a friend of JC's and think that was well said, Saintfranny :)

4:15 pm

jmcnrick

that is the source of the animosity

4:15 pm

KatieMcG

oh I see, yes I agree that what happens in babble stays in babble

4:15 pm

KatieMcG

I have no opinion on JC I don't know him

4:17 pm

Hello all.

meliae

Hello Red

4:20 pm

mo

sorry ... called away ... phone. ty Bichon its not mine just a picture of a dog that looks like a friend of ours.

4:20 pm

Nancy Boy

and, things have gone way too far. he didn't mention the babbler in question in his blog...he was writing about the situation, since it frustrated him. Not a personal attack, at all.

4:20 pm

meliae

ok I will take a clue for that as 9 please

4:21 pm

redturtlehead

I will say I have no real opinion of JC, I actually found him annoying and pompous prior to the dog situation, but I just left each time he arrived thats all.

4:21 pm

redturtlehead

and it will be what I continue to do.

4:21 pm

redturtlehead

Now, moving right along.

4:22 pm

redturtlehead

meliae, the as 9 is what you maybe sitting on, (part of your body), a vowel and a shorter version of our beloved NB babbler.

4:22 pm

mo

as9 ... donkey + opp. of off + l**** (an old weapon)

4:22 pm

redturtlehead

Mo, that is a much more succient clue!!! I lvoe it

4:23 pm

thank you Mo

4:27 pm

saintfranny

was away - so a delayed thank you to NB. xo

4:27 pm

jillibus

Chiming in here -- jmc, it was NOT a purebred dog -- it was a mixed breed "designer" dog. Julian was blogging that people should not be encouraging such "breeders" and he did not mention the babbler's name. It was the principle of the thing -- he is ardent about rescuing homeless animals instead.

4:28 pm

mo

ca6/21 ... if you ca**** solve this clue I will be surprised!

4:28 pm

saintfranny

ah there you are Jilli. yes, well put.

4:28 pm

bichon

mo, I like you dog

4:28 pm

redturtlehead

had no idea that was a word and not two Mo.

4:29 pm

meliae

bleh lol ty Mo, and Firewords for me!

4:29 pm

jmcnrick

regardless he took recognizable information from babbleland . . .and considering i have my very own personal stalker i find that disturbing

4:29 pm

jillibus

I thought you said it well, too, franny -- and thanks, NB, for your support.

4:30 pm

Nancy Boy

it's nothing at all akin to stalking Jmc...this is, after all, a public place.

4:30 pm

jillibus

well, can we let it lie, please? This is supposed to be a friendly place and all this has scared off quite a few people.

4:30 pm

mo

congratulations meliae.!!!!

4:30 pm

ch1212

jmc, what's this about a stalker? Are you okay? (Regardless of our personal opinions about things, we babblers always look out for each other, don't we?)

4:31 pm

redturtlehead

I'm wondering actually why this is being brought up at all? I mean, JC can come and chat any time JC wants to. I will not be here, but thats certainly not the end of the world.

4:31 pm

meliae

Personal attacks should never be a part of Babble, nor should divuging other peoples information, with that said, If you dont like someone ignore them. I for one am uncomfortable with all of this and do not like to see the family being divided up.

4:31 pm

jillibus

ch1212, so we should, but JC has suffered undeserved scorn.

4:31 pm

redturtlehead

and of course part of my problem is that I never really liked him in the first place.

4:31 pm

jmcnrick

well if anyone here starts writing about what i say and do in the chog outside the chog i will quit and that will be that

4:32 pm

jillibus

JC has left because the other day he came in for a chat and to play the game and was greeted by vituperation that would make your hair curl.

4:32 pm

ch1212

We will respect your personage, jmc -- I think (hope) I speak for all.

4:33 pm

jmcnrick

ooo what a good word! vituperation

4:33 pm

Nancy Boy

that's the problem Red - there is a small clique of babblers that are making things very difficult for him, and being very unpleasant

4:33 pm

redturtlehead

Well, I would not have done that Jilli, I would have simply removed myself from the chat, which I think is the more appropriate thing to do. Dont like someone, dont chat with them.

4:33 pm

jillibus

Wel, I wish nobody ill and shall leave now -- busy day.

4:33 pm

ch1212

Here's a thought: This discussion has reminded all of us of the need to be respectful of our differences. So can we acknowledge our need for greater compassion of ALL... and maybe have a group hug ... ?

4:34 pm

meliae

well then I think that should be passed on to the boss of Babble and that should be the end of it. If you see someone being rude send off an e-mail, and that should be the end of it all.

4:34 pm

jmcnrick

that is pretty much what i do red, but i think if he would accept some responsibility for talking about the chog outside the chog he would receive much better reception

4:34 pm

PinnyPoppins

I love Babble - believe it or not, it's been a lifeline for me during some really tough times, and I'd be sad to think anyone felt unhappy playing such a super game.

4:34 pm

saintfranny

Jill - I concur. That's why I didn't go into details... and for the record, I myself was put off by this whole mess months ago and didn't visit babble at all til just recently. When it gets nasty and name calling ensues, and someone's REAL LIFE character is assaulted/questioned, that person deserves to be defended. So, that is all I have to say on the matter. The people in question should take it out of here - yes, a 'family' of sorts meliae.

4:34 pm

meliae

((HUGS)) Jilli

4:34 pm

jmcnrick

er can i skip the group hug?

4:34 pm

redturtlehead

with jmc, not really into the huggie thing.

4:35 pm

ch1212

well... okay, jmc ... since you asked so sweetly. We'll blow kisses your way...and to NB, and jilli, and stFranny, and pinny...and RED :)

4:35 pm

redturtlehead

jmc, I am glad to see your superman back up

4:35 pm

jmcnrick

*grabs red and runs into pb to avoid hugs*

4:35 pm

meliae

LMAO JMC

4:35 pm

saintfranny

JM - not to belabour this, but really, I think some of your info is wrong. No person was identified in any way outside the chog. It was the ISSUE, not the person, that was discussed. A "reference" to a person involved in the issue is not the same as Talking About said person. Ok. done.

4:36 pm

ch1212

And meliae {{ hugs }}

4:36 pm

redturtlehead

hides behind jmc!! and hands cookies out from the PB to deflect huggies.

4:36 pm

jmcnrick

I am hoping it keeps me feeling like i can stop a locomotive

4:36 pm

jmcnrick

I read the blog and it was recognizable

4:36 pm

Nancy Boy

I don't see what's wrong with mentioning the chat log outside the game. Errrr, it's a word game, not a cult...

4:36 pm

redturtlehead

jmc, I hope you have no current need to do so.

4:36 pm

jmcnrick

some of the people in babble land are shy elsewhere and this is a place where they can feel free

4:37 pm

meliae

Can we just drop it? why are we even discussing something that does not involve us? those who are slighted/involved need to talk to DR and just let this stuff get out of the chog

4:37 pm

jmcnrick

this week there have been lots of trains headed my way red

4:37 pm

redturtlehead

thank you Meliae. I am sorry JC is having a hard time, but at the same time, I do not miss him.

4:37 pm

ch1212

sensible, meliae.

4:37 pm

redturtlehead

JMC, what on earth is going on train stopping lawyer woman?

4:45 pm

meliae

4:45 pm

redturtlehead

If only "enator" from Phineas and Ferb were in here.

4:45 pm

ch1212

No, I see you don't. JMC, please email me (address in my profile.) I worked with a non-profit in Portland at one time, and my boss has spoken at the International Peace Conference. Wondering if you know him.

redturtlehead

the humidity really is not noticable.

4:47 pm

kje

4:47 pm

stidmama

that's a lot of humidity!

4:48 pm

stidmama

4:48 pm

redturtlehead

81% but it really was great.

4:48 pm

stidmama

drat. my fellow students are beginning to reconvene.

4:48 pm

stidmama

I am TOTALLY not ready for this afternoon.

4:48 pm

kje

LOL - 81 then... high! my hair would be curling all over the place

4:48 pm

jmcnrick

houston where i grew up was at 80% humidity except when it was raining

4:48 pm

kje

stid - fake it

4:49 pm

stidmama

that's my usual technique, kje! (so far I have them all fooled)

4:49 pm

kje

good girl!

4:49 pm

redturtlehead

my hair was a little odd, but, spent the day running, then being in the gym (ouch) and swimming, and then reading it was awesome.

4:49 pm

redturtlehead

And now I feel bad for stating pubically on the chat that I do not like JC.

4:49 pm

stidmama

why was your hair odd, red?

4:50 pm

stidmama

oh oh... gotta go. drat drat drat.

4:50 pm

redturtlehead

probably the pool,

4:50 pm

stidmama

4:50 pm

kje

stay awake stid!

4:50 pm

kje

red... forgive and move on... too late now

4:50 pm

redturtlehead

oh darn it Publically. that is what I meant and its spelled wrong too!!!!!!

4:51 pm

kje

LMAO!!!!! just saw what you wrote... NOW you should be red

4:51 pm

redturtlehead

yes, it was not a freudian slip.

4:52 pm

redturtlehead

ok going to list, hangs head in shame.

4:53 pm

kje

14 left here, will list at 10

4:53 pm

jmcnrick

i think you do not have to feel bad -- public people cannot be liked by everyone

4:53 pm

redturtlehead

30 here, I am weak, the list looks nice.

4:53 pm

redturtlehead

I am sure there are many who dislike me here.

4:54 pm

jmcnrick

besides his humor is very blue

4:54 pm

jmcnrick

i find that hard to imagine red

4:54 pm

Atalante

hello peoples, just popping in to say hi!

4:54 pm

redturtlehead

Ata how is the new squishy cast??

4:54 pm

Vicuna

Hello, Ata.

4:55 pm

Uniquity

*Admires Ata's cast free behind*

4:55 pm

kje

red - it is OK, I like some, I tolerate some, and dislike a few... and sure I am in those 3 categories as well for different folk... we are a diverse group - no biggie

4:55 pm

kje

take ata - I tolrate her ; )

4:55 pm

Atalante

oooh it' s cool! Literally LOL, so much lighter than the cast from hell

4:55 pm

kje

crap - tolerate... durn it

4:55 pm

redturtlehead

for a while kje, I thought you disliked me a lot.

4:55 pm

Atalante

tolerate! *gasp*! :P

4:55 pm

kje

that sounded like a heinous cast, ata! ankle to groin - omg!

4:56 pm

kje

you red? LOLOL

4:56 pm

redturtlehead

as long as you do not pubically tolerate. you are alright kje.

4:56 pm

redturtlehead

yes, I was sure of it. You disappeared a lot for a while when I came on, I was sure it was me!!!

4:56 pm

Atalante

it was really hideous. and then falling down over my ankle bones. horrid!

4:56 pm

jmcnrick

pb kje

4:56 pm

jmcnrick

ata!!!!!!

4:56 pm

redturtlehead

Ata it really messed up your vacation!

4:56 pm

SamanthaJoy

Hey jmc?

4:57 pm

Uniquity

The thing about babble fights is that with few exceptions, they fade quickly. It seems that fame keeps them going...and going...and going...

4:57 pm

jmcnrick

hey sam

4:57 pm

Atalante

it did, put a marine biology person in a marin ebio paradise and then tell her she can't go to the beach!

4:57 pm

redturtlehead

hi samantha.

4:57 pm

jmcnrick

i did not start that conversation uni

4:57 pm

SamanthaJoy

I just wanted to bring something to your attention--you know that Google indexes the chog here?

4:57 pm

redturtlehead

I felt for you a lot ata.

4:57 pm

Vicuna

Poor, poor Ata.

4:57 pm

Nancy Boy

It's not really fame that keeps this one going, it's a small group of people who won't let it go.

4:57 pm

redturtlehead

I know that samantha.

4:58 pm

kje

ata - love your new micro photos - such fun!

4:58 pm

jmcnrick

no thank you for mentioning that but since my name is never here that does not bother me so much

4:58 pm

kje

okay... to the list

4:58 pm

jmcnrick

you would have to know how to search for me

4:58 pm

Uniquity

No blame or worries, JMC. I just wish my opinions would be so resolutely heard, defended and opposed :D

4:58 pm

Atalante

no, it#s not NB. Not being funny, but you don't know the whole story of it. Just saying.

4:58 pm

crosshair

crossy,s back for a few more;)

4:58 pm

kje

LOL uni... no you don't

4:58 pm

Atalante

I loooove my macro lens! It's the best thing ever!!!

4:59 pm

Atalante

UNI!!!!!

4:59 pm

kje

OK, last en5?

4:59 pm

SamanthaJoy

Well, on a Google search for "jmcnrick" the Babble archives are the second or third hit, right on the first page.

4:59 pm

Uniquity

Google indexing = chog records? Everything is kept forever and ever, amen!

4:59 pm

redturtlehead

but jmcnrick isnt her name or even very close to her name.

4:59 pm

redturtlehead

kje, you are going to beat me, I got so distracted by chog!

4:59 pm

Uniquity

Kje, you're right. I don't. I like my side of the fence.

5:00 pm

jmcnrick

and i do not think my stalker knows that "name" but thanks sam for pointing that out

5:00 pm

Nancy Boy

Ata - I am one of the few people who has heard both sides of the argument. I'm young, not stupid...

5:00 pm

Uniquity

Also, how did you just notice me, Ata? I checked out your butt like five minutes ago!

5:00 pm

Vicuna

So the "show yourself doing something unspeakably stupid" ic4 theme would be a bad idea.

5:00 pm

Atalante

if you say so. about the argyment, not the youth!

5:00 pm

SamanthaJoy

That's fine. I'm not trying to change jmc's attitude or opinion; I just didn't want her to be under the illusion that this chog is private.

5:00 pm

Atalante

how were - for example - Liz and I affected initially?

5:00 pm

Kaplan the Magne

did I miss a controversy?

5:00 pm

SamanthaJoy

It's all good. I just thought I'd bring it up.

5:00 pm

crosshair

mmm chog is abuzz....

5:00 pm

jmcnrick

and i appreciate the info sam

5:01 pm

kje

LOL vi... or nude self portrait day

no one know the last en5?

5:01 pm

jmcnrick

yep kap and i hope it is done for the day

5:01 pm

Vicuna

en5 - French boredom

5:01 pm

kje

so happy to have lickety back!

5:01 pm

jmcnrick

NO ONE would want to see my nude self portrait

5:01 pm

redturtlehead

TY Vicuna.

5:01 pm

Atalante

the french are soooooo good at en5!

5:01 pm

kje

shoot... should have seen that - ty!

5:02 pm

redturtlehead

I have a nudie photo, but Only my face and toes show, the rest is in bubbles.

5:02 pm

Uniquity

Oh, Liz. That was a bad scene. Be good, Ata! *cracks whip. with love*

5:02 pm

Vicuna

I'm bad at en5. I like things too much to pretend that I don't.

5:02 pm

Atalante

just saying ... there's alwas 2 sides to each story

5:03 pm

kje

reminds me of that scene from french kiss

5:03 pm

Atalante

oooo Vi, I need to talk to you *will email in the morning*!

5:03 pm

Nancy Boy

quite, Ata. that's why I consider myself lucky to have heard both - getting to decide for myself was not a luxury many here enjoyed

5:04 pm

weboggle-whoa

anyone have a clue for to7/32? last one...

5:04 pm

Vicuna

Okay, Ata. I wait with bated breath.

5:04 pm

SamanthaJoy

Errr. Look, I am not a stalker, OK? But you might want to be SURE that they don't have this name, because I (knowing only the Babble alias) have just discovered your name, email addy, and phone number. And I'm pretty sure I could find more if I were looking.

5:04 pm

redturtlehead

And how is everyone today? Did anyone have a good lunch or something else>

5:04 pm

jmcnrick

er red just how did you make your living that you are covered with bubbles

5:04 pm

Atalante

pffffft. Seeing as you didn't answer my question ... but never mind. We can agree to disagree!

5:04 pm

jmcnrick

well that is disturbing sam

5:04 pm

kje

I was just about to ask that web

5:05 pm

redturtlehead

hangs head in bubble shame.

5:05 pm

Atalante

bubbles are gooood

5:05 pm

redturtlehead

bubbles hide many flaws.

5:05 pm

crosshair

crossy dives quietly into the grid...sploosh

5:05 pm

Atalante

and look pretty!

5:05 pm

SamanthaJoy

Yeah. The FB Babble page is apparently also indexed by Google, you use your email address publicly, and, well, it's just there. Google is ubiquitous and kinda scary.

5:06 pm

kje

red.. I am eating a "tasy" lunch now... not so good for me, but not too horrid, but yummy

5:06 pm

redturtlehead

gives crossy's dive a 7.5/10

5:06 pm

Atalante

what's tasy?

5:06 pm

redturtlehead

kje is eating a taser?

5:06 pm

Nancy Boy

eh? what question did I miss?

5:06 pm

kje

tasty... typos abound today

5:07 pm

Atalante

lol good typo!

5:07 pm

Uniquity

Nothing beats the pubic typos..

5:07 pm

Atalante

or the pubic ons

5:07 pm

Atalante

ones!!

5:07 pm

Kaplan the Magne

the idea that some people might not be liked makes me feel insecure...

5:07 pm

SamanthaJoy

I also know who you work for, more than one email addy, your religion, and what you look like. And now I'm done, really, because I'm not trying to scare you. :(

5:08 pm

redturtlehead

sorry.

5:08 pm

Vicuna

Uni, you really should even be trying to type with the pubic area. No wonder you make typos!

5:08 pm

Atalante

urf that's me misinterpreting uni's cleverness *facepalms*

5:08 pm

Vicuna

*not*

5:09 pm

Atalante

where#s FM when we need her!

5:09 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I looked up my public information on some site that is supposed to have everything, and it was wrong about most of my vital stats, like age, b'day, marital status, children...

5:09 pm

Uniquity

I feel so misunderstood. :)

5:09 pm

Nancy Boy

indeed, Kaplan ;)

5:09 pm

kje

yes, disclosing oneself pubically is the best for the day - LOLOLOL

5:09 pm

redturtlehead

I try to avoid that.

5:09 pm

SamanthaJoy

You think they had someone else, Kaplan?

5:10 pm

kje

kaplan... by this age, I know some like me and some don't... I can't worry too much about it, life is too short

5:10 pm

Atalante

urf it#s very hot having a cat constant;y draped round one's neck

5:10 pm

kje

to7?

5:10 pm

redturtlehead

indeed.

5:10 pm

Uniquity

Well, you did leave Sily. She must warm you for all the time you were away now.

5:11 pm

kje

oh wow, down to 2 7's

5:11 pm

Atalante

she#s like a little furnace

5:12 pm

Uniquity

Hot stuff, eh?

5:12 pm

kje

not a cat fan... that is one reason why - they must always lie on me even when I am sneezing and shooing them away

5:12 pm

Kaplan the Magne

the idea that my constructed persona might not be popular is too, too distressing.

5:12 pm

SamanthaJoy

According to the stats I have all of one seven, and I'm not sure which one that is. I've been spending too much time Gogoling.

5:13 pm

kje

i hope you are joking, kaplan

5:13 pm

Kaplan the Magne

that and the fact that Lena Horne is no longer among the living makes this a very solemn week.

5:13 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Me, joke? Never!

5:13 pm

KnightTime

contructed persona? Did you buy a kit at Radio Shack?

5:13 pm

Uniquity

I've got more than one archived babble chat to prove that my persona can be disliked. And more to show it can. Good balance.

5:13 pm

Atalante

she's only clinging cos she came back from caqttery today!

5:14 pm

Kaplan the Magne

We are all constructs, and my kit comes from Amazon.

5:14 pm

kje

uno

5:14 pm

redturtlehead

go kje go. 19 here...

5:14 pm

kje

wow, knight - longtime!

5:14 pm

redturtlehead

hi knight.

5:14 pm

Atalante

hi knight!

5:15 pm

KnightTime

count your blessings - i'm still looking for my persona, I think i lost it in nogales

5:15 pm

kje

mine is a d-i-y home model, kap, which explains a LOT

5:15 pm

kje

finito!!!!

5:16 pm

redturtlehead

mine came from the hospital I work at, thus I am just interchangable with a lot of otehrs.

5:16 pm

Atalante

yay kje!

5:16 pm

redturtlehead

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!kje

5:16 pm

kje

since no one clued to7, I will assume you do not have it (and not that you do not like me - LOL)

5:16 pm

Uniquity

Mine definitely doesn't come from amazon. A local indie bookstore, maybe, but not the big A.

5:16 pm

kje

to7 - to% with a fench vowelly ending

5:16 pm

lynxxx

Goodmorning everyone. Hi Ata, made it home in one piece that's good

5:16 pm

kje

oops another typo... sigh

5:17 pm

lynxxx

Congrats kje

5:17 pm

Uniquity

to7 - Big weight merged with french water.

5:17 pm

kje

to7 - to5 + french vowelly ending

5:17 pm

kje

much better clue uni

5:17 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Yeah, classy clue.

5:18 pm

Atalante

hi Lyn!!

5:18 pm

5:18 pm

Atalante

5:18 pm

lynxxx

Good job Red!

5:19 pm

5:19 pm

Kaplan the Magne

You may congratulate yourself publically, which I understand is how things are done here today.

5:19 pm

redturtlehead

thank you Ata. his were so so long and he was threatenng to bite, but today went really really well.

5:19 pm

Uniquity

Publically congratulating myself pubically? I think not.

5:20 pm

redturtlehead

lol uniq.

5:20 pm

Atalante

5:20 pm

redturtlehead

redturtlehead

5:21 pm

Atalante

5:21 pm

redturtlehead

and relieved.

5:21 pm

kje

smug red???? just doesn't have the same ring

5:22 pm

redturtlehead

well, I do feel smug, trimming this dogs toenails has on one occasion required complete anasthesia.

5:22 pm

kje

wow!

5:23 pm

redturtlehead

He does not do well with being touched on the feet.

5:23 pm

kje

foot nonfetish?

5:23 pm

kje

pubically displayed foot nonfetish?

5:23 pm

Atalante

poor Teulu. So many dogs are like that

5:23 pm

kje

LOL

5:23 pm

kje

sorry red... that was so funny

5:23 pm

redturtlehead

exactly. and my own fault for not overhandling them as a puppy, but today, I ran him, and about 30 minutes later I saw my opportunity....

5:24 pm

featherbee

hiya! ooooh, must go read chog

5:24 pm

redturtlehead

and I cut away and cut and cut, I have to use an adult nail clipper, the dog trimmers make him nuts.

5:24 pm

Atalante

some just never like it though, handling or non-handling

5:24 pm

kje

hi weed! (truly not worth the scroll back except for red exposing herself pubically)

5:25 pm

redturtlehead

Well, Ata, I think I have figured it out from now on, he has to go running. He is a sucky runner though.

5:26 pm

jmcnrick

6:13 pm

KnightTime

ec + vowel + sound

6:13 pm

KnightTime

as9 = what you sit on + vowel + na5/12

6:15 pm

cybernan

ty knight

6:15 pm

cybernan

ooh -- missing the to 7 as well

6:16 pm

KnightTime

add two vowels to the end of the to5 before it

6:17 pm

cybernan

ty again

6:17 pm

cybernan

*!* ta da *!* -- thanks for the help :)

6:17 pm

cybernan

everone finished, or does someone want clues?

6:20 pm

cybernan

just read your profile, Knight --- healthcare is never free -- has to be paid for somehow. Ours is supported by taxes, employee contributions and employer contributions -- still better than being faced with hundreds of thousands of dollars in medical bills, however.

6:23 pm

KnightTime

agreed nan, health care costs. What BHO is proposing will be a disaster for this country.

6:24 pm

KnightTime

we already have gov;t run healthcare in the form of medicare/medicaid/ and VA. All are on the brink of disaster.

6:24 pm

cybernan

don't see how -- better than nothing. My husband underwent quintuple bypass surgery last fall. The whole thing, including a mediflight to a major centre for the surgery cost us $160.00. If we lived in the states, we sould now be bankrupt.

6:26 pm

KnightTime

there are too many unknowns to make that statement. It is impossible to generalize from one anecdote.

6:26 pm

cybernan

I think the trick is to have comprehensive medical/dental care that covers preventative visits/procedures --- that certainly goes a long way to reducing health care costs.

6:27 pm

cybernan

But that would be true for anyone requiring treatment in Canada

6:32 pm

cybernan

Doesn't look like anyone here need clues, so will be on my way. back at the flip :)

6:32 pm

KnightTime

Just to clarify, insurance does not reduce health care costs (it slightly raises them because it is addtional overhead). Insurance spreads the costs among the paying members based on perceived risk by the insurer.

6:33 pm

cybernan

you are talking about private insurance companies ? -- the problem there is that they also want a very big piece of the pie

6:33 pm

KnightTime

in a capitalistic society, if there is not profit, there is not reason to be in business

6:33 pm

cybernan

It may not reduce medical costs overall, but certainly to the individual.

6:34 pm

cybernan

That is the best reason of all for having a federal government run medicare program.

6:35 pm

KnightTime

The government running (ruining) healthcare is a disaster. Medicare is broke. Most states cannot afford medicaid and the VA is overwhelmed.

6:36 pm

KnightTime

All of the gov't run healthcare systems in america are horrid

6:38 pm

KnightTime

That's why the hypocritical senators and representatives DO NOT use gov't insurance, they use private insurance. When OBAMA signs his family up for Obamacare, then and only then will I consider it.

6:41 pm

hootowl

1. Anyone with the wherewithall will buy excellent healthcare on his own. 2. Medicare is broke because rhe money put in was used by gov to finance wars. 3. Arguing with an admitedly biased person is a waste of breathe.

6:41 pm

KnightTime

just to clarify, having insurance does not mean access to healthcare. it means that the bill will be paid when you finally get healthcare. Without a profit incentive, it will become increasingly difficult to get healthcare.

6:42 pm

hootowl

You also have to remember that the "right" is voting against things that they wanted themselves. Just sour grapes!

6:42 pm

KnightTime

who's arguing?

6:43 pm

hayru12

when did the right ask for this?

6:43 pm

hayru12

castos

6:43 pm

hayru12

oops!

6:43 pm

hootowl

I'm trying to stop nan. Futile. And noone said there wouldn't be a profit. You can be sure the ins co's are already making changes, just like the credit card companies. And now I'm shutting up. I'm not into futility either

6:45 pm

hayru12

if everyone could just share a good game of boggle, everything would be alright! :)

6:45 pm

SamanthaJoy

Knight, even the most partisan economists of the Chicago school agree that health care is not a good subject for pure capitalism to work, because of the inequalities in information that are inherent.

6:45 pm

SamanthaJoy

I have nothing against capitalism, but the system just flat out doesn't combine well with health insurance

6:48 pm

KnightTime

tell that to the insurance companies - they seem to be doing well.

6:49 pm

SamanthaJoy

That's because they have both more power and more information in the otherwise "free" exchange.

6:50 pm

hayru12

Help with the ec7,32??? Please before I pull my hair out? I'm stuck on eco and can't jog my brain out of it!

6:50 pm

it eludes me...

ah ha!!! thank you knight!

featherbee

well, not loved as much as tolerated

8:33 pm

crosshair

you do not want anything with a heavy texture or sharp flavour

8:33 pm

stidmama

joey, I don't have any good suggestions, except to keep trying to find the things that taste good and are giving you enough nutrition.

8:33 pm

crosshair

when i had my chemo i went from 250 to 165 pounds

8:34 pm

kje

my mom told me today she despises jello... made it for us, but never ate it... texture thing

8:34 pm

8:35 pm

stidmama

8:38 pm

crosshair

try scrambled egg joey

8:38 pm

joey

Crosshair, that would kill me. i can not do it. i probably have only thrown up 5 times in my life, 4 of which were the result of drinking too miuch in combination with eating stupid things

8:38 pm

jillibus

I'm lucky. Although I've had 3 kinds of cancer, I've avoided chemo successfully.

8:42 pm

i know felling this bad is rough and i will not bother you further with advice joey but if you want to just vent or ask for food advice you can mail me at chipdip33@hotmail.com and put babble in the text

8:42 pm

mcurlschool

hi all

8:42 pm

jillibus

first cancer was breast and mine could respond to tamoxifen. There had been some spread to lymph nodes but the oncologist felt that chemo would only give a 2% better chance of preventing a return. 2nd was colon, and no spread -- no need. 3rd was just a bcc (basal cell carcinoma), no problem. I've had 3 of those so far.

8:42 pm

joey

thanks, crosshair, i really appreciate that a lot

I ca 6/21 help but write a paragraph of clues after I finish the grid. So without wa 4/8ing any more time, here it is.I'm so glad that it does not co4/5 anything to use Lickety's list. However, if it co 5/12 money in the future,I would be happy to pay for it. Sometimes my monkey ac4/5 weird and ca 6/21 help me out so I just have to sc4/5 the chat log for some clues & use the list to help me find some words. Sometimes I wish I could ca 4/5 a spell on all the monkeys so that they could find all the words for me. When I do finish grid, I usually celebrate w/my monkeys. They get bananas and I get an ice cream co 4/5. Now I'm off to change my ic 4/5 & then I'm going to sc 5/12 on outta here. I need to so 4/4 out my clothes for tomorrow & then it will be bedtime very so 4/4. Goodnight all babblers!

10:26 pm

gremlinn

astone, which of course works at Wordsplay

10:26 pm

gremlinn

unce, too

10:27 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

wordsplay has a weird dictionary, it take a whole bunch of plurals where it won't take the singular

10:28 pm

gremlinn

It's a mess, for sure

10:28 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

it's as if a human with little brains wne through and took out all the words they didn't like, but for some reason did not take out the matching plurals

10:29 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

gremlinn, how can you see the game? you have no pupils!! lol

10:29 pm

gremlinn

he left the dirty words in

10:29 pm

gremlinn

I do, they're just dark

10:30 pm

gremlinn

you can't see it in the small image

10:30 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

okay 8-)

10:30 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

and i can't even use a puter, cuz i have no hands lol

10:31 pm

gremlinn

I'm not even sure what you are

10:32 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

Dalek from the greatest TV show ever made, Doctor who http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dalek

10:32 pm

gremlinn

Perhaps a particularly creative torture device

10:32 pm

gremlinn

Ahh, I have not seen that show.

10:33 pm

gremlinn

Have heard references many times though.

10:33 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

a very cool "bad guy" and highly responsible for making the show a big hit

10:35 pm

gremlinn

oh, the word I was thinking of was "acajou", not "sacajou"

10:37 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

shucks, don't take acajou either

10:37 pm

gremlinn

it does, just not in the board

10:38 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

that's what i meant. 8-)

10:38 pm

gremlinn

phantom cicerone

10:39 pm

gremlinn

and cicoree

10:39 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

oh, wow

10:40 pm

gremlinn

tocattas, stocattas

10:40 pm

gremlinn

Err, make that toccatas, stoccatas - stupid double letters

10:41 pm

gremlinn

"Wicca" in there but not a word

10:41 pm

SmallChild

I'm new... by "phantom" you mean all the letters are there, but they don't connect?

10:42 pm

gremlinn

Basically, yeah.

10:42 pm

SmallChild

Thanx <3

10:42 pm

gremlinn

Or close to being in there in some other way (for example just one letter missing) - it's not too rigorously defined

10:42 pm

SmallChild

Ahhh, that makes more sense

10:42 pm

torgone

Or the letters are almost there and you see the word anyway ..

10:43 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

phantom, a word you keep trying to make cuz you see it in your head, but it not there. sometimes not all the letters are there, either

10:43 pm

gremlinn

Or you'd have to break a rule by reusing a letter

10:43 pm

torgone

Is ec7 a fish?

10:43 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

so, my brain construced sacajawia and i know it's projer name and it's spelled wrong, but it's almost in there . . .

10:44 pm

kimmtoats

Hi everybody! This puzzle is kind of a bugger!

10:44 pm

gremlinn

yep, had to look that up, it's "Sacajawea" - very nice find anyway

10:44 pm

SmallChild

Yeah, I keep wanting to enter waist -_-

10:44 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

oh, and a fish . . . a word that you just can't see even though it's a common word and should be easy to find

10:45 pm

gremlinn

terms to know: NBT, fish, flip, fireworks, phantom ... anything else?

10:45 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

for example, i often miss the word "nine" -- don't know why

10:45 pm

SmallChild

cool, danke!

10:45 pm

torgone

So is it?

10:46 pm

cherlyq63

there is an ec 7?

10:46 pm

gremlinn

I guess some people say "babblet" for a word that's not commonly known but which comes in a lot of puzzles, like "etui" or "nene".

10:46 pm

cherlyq63

hi all

10:46 pm

gremlinn

ec7 = environmental prefix + musical sound

10:46 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

hmmm, there's the dreaded troll -- someone who comes into the chat room just to cause an argument or make everyone mad at them

10:47 pm

cherlyq63

nm got it

10:47 pm

gremlinn

sure, but "troll" is more universal

10:47 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

yeah, not a babble exclusive

10:47 pm

torgone

Thanks grem!

10:47 pm

SmallChild

indeeds, I know of that one from gaming ^_^

10:48 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

NBT = no blank tiles = player announced NBT when they have found at least one word from each tile that has words that start from it

10:48 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

i still need that bottom N for NBT

10:48 pm

gremlinn

in other words, all tiles under "Tile Stats" grayed

10:49 pm

gremlinn

Err, not that. I'm confused, never mind.

10:49 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

grem, no, that means you done finished the puzzle!

10:49 pm

cherlyq63

most of a girls name gwen

10:49 pm

SmallChild

10:49 pm

gremlinn

Haha, yeah, that's the state I'm used to being in.

10:51 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

other N is na4, na + a vowel + plural letter

10:51 pm

Pinikula

hi kimm

10:51 pm

kimmtoats

nance

10:51 pm

Pinikula

na4 = na + *perating *ystem

kimmtoats

PB OOPS!!

10:52 pm

cherlyq63

ty

10:52 pm

Pinikula

;)

10:52 pm

Pinikula

how's everyone doing tonight?

10:52 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

and for the newbies, PB = Penalty Box = you have to go there if you say a word in the puzzle! (just fun, there's no box)

10:53 pm

SmallChild

do you just remember which tiles you've gotten words off of, or is it an added feature of the upgrade?

10:53 pm

Pinikula

(PB = tons of treats and cabana boys for the ladies)

10:53 pm

Pinikula

[imaginary, of course]

10:53 pm

kimmtoats

YEAH!!!

10:53 pm

gremlinn

well, there's no box officially, but off the record, let's just say they have good snacks in there

10:53 pm

SmallChild

lol pini

10:53 pm

Pinikula

hi Small

10:53 pm

SmallChild

hai hai

10:54 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

small child, do you see tile stats and word stats? look below the grid

10:54 pm

cherlyq63

yeah nbt

10:54 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

cabana boys? <perk!>

10:54 pm

SmallChild

nope

10:55 pm

SmallChild

I tried this out a looooong time ago and apparently my 14 day trial period expired, imagine that =P

10:55 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

i'm trying to remember, but i think you see them free for a week or two, then if you don't pay to join then you don't see them anymore

10:55 pm

gremlinn

if a word can start on multiple tiles, preference is given to the higher row (or left-er column, if they're in the same row)

10:55 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

ah, okay, 14 days then

10:55 pm

Pinikula

then you won't be able to see the stats unless you upgrade

10:55 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

it's $15 to become a member and then you get all the features back

10:55 pm

gremlinn

You could start a new name, probably, couldn't you?

10:55 pm

Pinikula

really, grem?

10:55 pm

gremlinn

Or does it prevent you from doing that somehow.

10:55 pm

kimmtoats

That's right Gwen

10:56 pm

SmallChild

I like my name =(

10:56 pm

SmallChild

I'll just deal with it until I upgrade

10:56 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

i love boggle so i paid up alsmot immediately and never "lost" the features . . .

10:56 pm

Pinikula

(that's a one-time fee for life)! and mucho worth it! :)

10:56 pm

kimmtoats

$15 period. No monthly charge, it's a good deal!

10:57 pm

gremlinn

Cost per hour, it's gotta be the cheapest (other than free) game I've played.

10:57 pm

gremlinn

That is, if I can count other Boggle sites.

10:57 pm

SmallChild

oh wow, I never noticed it was a one-time fee

10:57 pm

Pinikula

no kidding, grem...ain't that the truth!

10:57 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

yeah, it's practially nothing compared to, say, ISP fees or phone company rates!

10:57 pm

kimmtoats

And the best, Grem!

10:58 pm

gremlinn

Never gets old.

10:58 pm

cherlyq63

sorry guys going to hit sack as work in am, wont make it to flip tonight

10:58 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

and after you join, you can ask lickety for his very cool babble software, that puts his clue list right into the program with the game and the chatroom

10:58 pm

Pinikula

g'night, cheryl

10:58 pm

cherlyq63

night all

10:58 pm

SmallChild

nighty

10:58 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

bye bye cheryl

10:58 pm

SmallChild

flip means when the new puzzle comes out or something?

10:59 pm

Pinikula

the "friends" also make it worthwhile!

10:59 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

yep, new puzzle comes at midnight, Central Time (US)

10:59 pm

SmallChild

hoorjay for central time ^_^

10:59 pm

Pinikula

yes, small

10:59 pm

gremlinn

Oh, and "chog" is short for "chat log" - the archived transcripts of chat sessions from any previous day.

10:59 pm

gremlinn

So be careful what you say in here - it never goes away!

11:00 pm

SmallChild

I'm going to guess that "fireworks" is a complete puzzle? like in solitare?

11:00 pm

gremlinn

"Chog" is also short for a chicken with the head of a dog.

11:00 pm

gremlinn

Yeah.

11:00 pm

SmallChild

lol!

11:00 pm

Pinikula

fireworks are what you see when you've found all the words!

11:00 pm

SmallChild

cool cool

11:00 pm

kimmtoats

jast

11:01 pm

Pinikula

ja4 = the big shark

11:01 pm

kimmtoats

I keep doing it! The PB has my name permanently etched there!

11:02 pm

SmallChild

*solitaire

11:02 pm

Pinikula

* order engraved name plate especially for kimm *

11:02 pm

Pinikula

(that was note to cabana boys)

11:02 pm

Pinikula

;)

11:03 pm

kimmtoats

Ha ha! I need a good cabana boy!

11:03 pm

Pinikula

* giggle *

11:04 pm

Pinikula

how many more, kimm?

11:04 pm

SmallChild

I phail as a movie buff -_- took me forever to figure out ja4, lol

11:05 pm

Pinikula

how are you coming along on the grid, Small?

11:05 pm

Pinikula

ROFL!

11:05 pm

SmallChild

23 =/

11:05 pm

Pinikula

you can do it...do you know what you need?

11:05 pm

SmallChild

no idea

11:05 pm

SmallChild

lol

11:05 pm

SmallChild

'sok though

11:06 pm

Pinikula

are you using Lickety's Babble Clues list (located under "Friends of Babble" below the grid?)

11:06 pm

SmallChild

does it say anywhere how many words can be found in this puzzle?

11:06 pm

kimmtoats

its okay small, I only have 35 :-/

11:06 pm

Pinikula

let's go kiddies!!!

11:06 pm

SmallChild

noes >.< felt like cheating so I didn't open it

11:06 pm

Pinikula

there are 105 words in this grid

11:07 pm

Pinikula

not cheating, Small...consider it an AIDE! :)

11:07 pm

SmallChild

lol! "You can do it!" You have too much faith <3

11:07 pm

Pinikula

I try :)

11:07 pm

Pinikula

"encouragement" goes a long way!

11:07 pm

gremlinn

I think the standardly accepted rule is that it's cheating if you use some automatic word-finding program to list all the words in the puzzle, but it's not cheating to get clues or look for words on your own in dictionaries.

11:07 pm

Pinikula

you go, grem! :)

11:08 pm

gremlinn

Lickety cheats all the time ;-)

11:08 pm

SmallChild

naw, but I wanted to give it my best on my own since I signed on with an hourish to go

11:08 pm

Pinikula

...and I rather like the creativity of cluers!

11:08 pm

Pinikula

Lickety is "special" though! :)

11:08 pm

kimmtoats

Thank God Lickety cheats!

11:08 pm

gremlinn

I guess it doesn't count since he's not playing, though.

11:09 pm

SmallChild

lol

11:10 pm

kimmtoats

I don't like this grid.

11:10 pm

SmallChild

me either ::pouts::

11:10 pm

Pinikula

so, shall we throw out some clues?

11:10 pm

gremlinn

Yeah, too many Cs.

11:10 pm

gremlinn

61/105 words use a C. Horrible!

11:11 pm

kimmtoats

sure, pini!

11:11 pm

SmallChild

too many letter *right next to each other*

11:11 pm

SmallChild

well double letters

11:11 pm

Pinikula

what letter, kimm?

11:12 pm

gremlinn

Oh yeah, six different pairs of identical letters adjacent - eight if you count diagonals!

11:12 pm

Pinikula

(well, not a specific tile, but what letter should I start with?)

11:12 pm

Pinikula

you're scarin' me, grem, and I'm done!

11:13 pm

SmallChild

exactly

no doubt this grid is a little cockeyed . . .

11:13 pm

gremlinn

Remember that one a few weeks ago that was remarkably symmetric?

11:13 pm

SmallChild

lol, my OCD would have loved that

11:13 pm

kimmtoats

oo4

11:14 pm

Pinikula

whatcha need, gwen?

11:14 pm

Pinikula

oo4 = oo + **ar (russian ruler)

11:17 pm

Pinikula

or should I say oo + **e**e fly?

11:18 pm

Pinikula

or "These B**** Are Made For Walking"

11:18 pm

SmallChild

is that the only oo one? =3

11:19 pm

Pinikula

yes (thankfully)

11:19 pm

kimmtoats

ah ha! Thanks, Pini

11:20 pm

Pinikula

there's an or4 with the same ending

11:20 pm

Pinikula

oc4 = oc + ** the world turns

11:20 pm

SmallChild

nice ^_^

11:20 pm

Pinikula

os4 = os + smoked **lmon (fish)

11:20 pm

SmallChild

11:21 pm

Pinikula

11:21 pm

Pinikula

(consider it a dead letter)

11:22 pm

kimmtoats

I keep wanting "encore"

11:22 pm

gremlinn

another Wordsplay-only word: assot

11:22 pm

SmallChild

oh, but I thought that word doctor person said that acronym for every letter used?

11:22 pm

Pinikula

en5 = en + lights camera ***ion

11:23 pm

gremlinn

Oh, every letter that has at least one to start with.

11:23 pm

Pinikula

sometimes there are letters in the grid that don't start a word but may be used in a word

11:23 pm

gremlinn

In this board, 6 tiles have no words to find starting there.

11:23 pm

SmallChild

ohs, ok

11:24 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

anyone have the last en5/12?

11:24 pm

Pinikula

en + ***sance (irritant)

11:24 pm

gremlinn

So those 6 tiles would be free, and you'd have to find at least one word on the other 19 tiles for "NBT".

11:25 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

boy, thinking of millions of irritants, hmmmm 8-)

11:25 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

oh, DUH, got it, TY

11:25 pm

11:26 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

11:26 pm

gremlinn

11:27 pm

gremlinn

which also is in the dictionary - cool

11:27 pm

Pinikula

grem, if you're reading the dictionary, you have too much time on your hands! :)

11:27 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

prolly a typing problem

11:28 pm

Pinikula

oh, wait...that's why we're all here...too much time! :)

11:28 pm

gremlinn

I'm not - I just tried typing it in and see if it says "does not exist in the puzzle" - that means it's in the dictionary

11:28 pm

Pinikula

right?

11:28 pm

Pinikula

really?

11:28 pm

gremlinn

I like how it still lets you guess words after you've completed the puzzle.

11:29 pm

Pinikula

cool =)

11:29 pm

gremlinn

Yeah. Handy to see what will work.

Well, the icon theme for today was Diamonds (hence the crown with the Koh-i-noor in it, if you hadn't read about it in my profile). Tomorrow's theme is Pearls and I'm about to change over. These were both suggested by Sprite. There's lots of room for more suggestions so please send some to her -- she's now the Queen of Themes. Her profile can be found at htpp://tinyurl.com/6z/7unz
