I was just reading it, sprite -- thank you! And a beautiful example too.
1:47 am

1:49 am
jillibus
I'll have alook tomorrow -- I've copied the URL down.
1:49 am
sprite
as I did with your mystery site. Thank you :)
1:50 am
jillibus
You're very welcome! Have you read the Stieg Larsson books?
1:50 am
sprite
no can't say I have. Are those the books you referred to earlier? I scrolled down, but most of it was already gone
1:51 am
jillibus
yes -- they're great and addictive. Too bad there will never be any more.
1:51 am
sprite
too bad indeed :(
But at least there will be 3 books to read and reread.
1:51 am
jillibus
The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo is the first book.
1:52 am
jillibus
I've almost finished the second one, The Girl Who Played With Fire -- over 700 wonderful pages.
1:53 am
sprite
thank you! I so love mysteries, and reading, and english books. Sounds like a treat for me.
1:53 am
jillibus
The third one just came out -- The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest.
1:53 am
sprite
why won't there be any more?
1:54 am
jillibus
Well, they're English translations from the Swedish.
1:54 am
sprite
I cannot read Swedish, so I'll take the english, lol
1:55 am
jillibus
The author died suddenly before they were even published. Very sad. Google Stieg Larsson.
1:55 am
sprite
I will, thanks jilli. How sad :(
1:55 am
sprite
so... how will I find enoff words today?
1:56 am
jillibus
He was only about 47, if I remember correctly.
1:57 am
jillibus
There's a movie now of the first book, in Swedish with subtitles.
1:57 am
sprite
lol that reminds me of a running gag we have here... The english saying 'enough is enough' mispronounced as if it were french: 'un oeuf is un oeuf', and then to dutch 'een ei is een ei' --> an egg is an egg.
1:57 am
sprite
that is really really sad. And the saddest thing is, it will probably push up his sales figures immensely.
1:59 am
jillibus
There's a problem with that, too -- he and his ladylove never married but she was a big help to him for many years. His brother and father are claiming the inheritance.
2:01 am
sprite
am really sorry for his ladylove.
2:01 am
jillibus
Time magazine ran an interesting article about him a couple of weeks ago.
2:02 am
jillibus
I beleive she's fighting it.
2:03 am
jillibus
*believe
2:08 am
sprite
did you see our egg joke?
2:08 am
jillibus
oh yes -- very good!
2:09 am
sprite
:) It always makes us laugh, especially when other people go 'huh?'
2:11 am
sprite
47 found... this is a real tight grid, isn't it!
2:11 am
jillibus
and the Dutch word for enough is what?
2:11 am
sprite
enough = genoeg
2:11 am
jillibus
I have 48 words and not even nbt.
2:11 am
sprite
almost unpronounceable for you, I think. Two hard Gs.
2:12 am
sprite
no nbt here either
2:12 am
jillibus
well, genoeg ends in eg, anyway ;)
2:12 am
jillibus
I see our ruru is in the grid :)
2:12 am
sprite
lol yes. Though in dutch the oe is a single vowel sound, like the oo in book.
2:13 am
sprite
he is, and he is not valid. Tsssss silly enable.
2:16 am
sprite
actually, the pronunciation would be pretty close to:
'a nook', if you'd put a hard G in front and changed the k into another hard G.
2:18 am
jillibus
and I always thought Dutch and English were related! Not very, eh?
2:18 am
sprite
they are, to a certain extent, but the pronunciation is very different!
2:19 am
sprite
I think the relation can be seen if you look at the words: enough and genoeg. Like ywis and gewis. So very close in form.
2:20 am
jillibus
Oh, I know there are similarities and some words almost exactly the same, but not as many as I once imagined.
2:22 am
sprite
dutch is a very weird language, due to the longstemming international contacts. It is a mixture of the original roots, english, french, indonesian, japanese, spanish, yiddish, german, etc.
2:22 am
jillibus
I have hit a wall at 50 words found. This is another toughie!
2:23 am
jillibus
Well, so is English!
2:23 am
sprite
I am right with you at 53 and the wall. Still need 4 words for nbt.
2:23 am
sprite
that is true!
2:23 am
sprite
I love english. Maybe because of this, lol. Oh... wait, I must share something funny with you. Let me see if I can find it online as well. Was in the kid's paper last week.
2:24 am
Jivingjenny0
Good morning, I have been reading your chog for a while now - please please tell me what nbt stands for.
2:24 am
jillibus
so do I have 4 blank tiles. But it's morning for you and bedtime for me so I'll wait until my brain is brighter tomorrow!
2:25 am
jillibus
No Blank Tiles.
2:25 am
Jivingjenny0
thank you, it all makes sense now!!
2:25 am

wtg jilli!
This is the URL: http://tinyurl.com/5e37xw
2:26 am
jillibus
It refers to the Tile Stats under the grid. If you've been playing longer than two weeks without "turning pro" you won't see them.
2:26 am
sprite
hi Jivingjenny, it means we found at least one word for every tile.
2:28 am
sprite
Jivingjenny, you may like that URL too! It is a translation error, so funny.
2:29 am
jillibus
Oh that's a riot, sprite! Of course Welsh is a real mystery!
2:30 am
sprite
oh yes it is, but can you imagine, as a firm, having made that sign? So embarrassing, lol.
2:30 am
gortmold
ooooh translation error? i love translation errors. how can i get my mitts on one?
2:30 am
sprite
I don't think there is a chance in the whole world to learn welsh if you aren't born to it.
2:30 am

hi Andree!

hi Andree!
2:50 am
sprite
samnz, nbt means No Blank Tiles, meaning we found at least one word for every tile.
2:51 am
samnz
sprite: I think it might be part of the act. Orly? Cool I need 2 until nbl in that case =)
2:52 am
samnz
actually 3*
2:53 am

wtg samnz!
No I think not, look at him. It is hurting him on the inside, not just on the outside.
2:53 am
samnz
He puts it down to a lack of muscle memory tho! Come on, that's funny!
2:53 am
sprite
I need one more now, only the U with 4 words. I love this grid :)
2:54 am
lynxxx
I think that U must be very special, indeed the only one
2:54 am
samnz
lol I have no idea what the D word could be. Guessing it has to be dru... but after that I'm lost
2:54 am
sprite
I am a very soft case, samnz. When he says he is gonna give up some of that yoyo stuff, because he has't got the muscle memory, it makes me feel sad
2:55 am
sprite
it starts dw, samnz. It is a kinda uncommon word.
2:55 am
sprite
sorry I mean dh, NOT dw!
2:55 am

lyn, thanks! Great clue :)

3:23 am
Haz1558
Good morning, lizmac. How are you?
3:23 am
sprite
then my wish is going to come true, Haz
3:24 am
Andree
chilly here too but the rain has stopped, glad to see it come and after 2 weeks of wet weather very glad to see it go
3:24 am
Haz1558
My fondest wish is that George would be there at the finishing line, but he may have a busy diary.
3:25 am
lizmac
Raining in N.I., Haz? I'm grand thanks. Just back from a week in Carcassonne, for those that don't know it, it's well worth a Google..beautiful.
3:25 am
sandyloo
We need some wet weather but the days are beautiful at the moment
3:25 am
Haz1558
Yes, it's raining here as well, liz. We've had a few days of sunshine but it's gone for now.
3:26 am
Andree

3:26 am
sprite
hmz that would attrack a whole lot of walkers for sure
3:26 am
Haz1558
See you later, Andree.
3:26 am
sprite
bye for now, Andree
3:26 am
lynxxx
bye Andree, enjoy
3:26 am
lizmac
Same as us Haz, but lovely while it lasted.
3:26 am
Haz1558
That's the problem, sprite, all those women might be a security nightmare.
3:27 am
sprite
here as well. Overcast and chilly, after a couple of days of lovely summer weather.
3:27 am
Haz1558
It's amazing how sunshine makes you feel so much better.
3:28 am
sprite
they will be, I am afraid. Can't he promise a signed picture to all who finish? Or all who donate? That might speed things up without bringing danger to him?
3:28 am
Haz1558
I'll have to put the idea to him. Good thinking.
3:28 am
sprite
so very true. Quickens the body and the spirit.
3:29 am
sprite
am willing to help with the mailing!
3:29 am
sandyloo
who is 'him'?
3:29 am
lizmac
I'm still sun-lagged from holiday, so taking this very badly.
3:29 am
sprite
when it comes to Haz, there is only one HIM
3:29 am
sprite
chilled to the bone, liz?
3:29 am
sandyloo
I take it that Haz is running a fund raiser?
3:29 am
Norma
Help why am I getting the red boxes telling me my words cannot be added
3:30 am
Haz1558
George. And we're not talking Harrison or Formby.
3:30 am
lynxxx
sorry Norma, OK here
3:30 am
lizmac
Indeed, Sprite.
3:30 am
sprite
Norma: that must be a connection problem or a malfunctioning server somewhere. Restarting babble might help.
3:30 am
Haz1558
I'm walking, sandy, definitely walking! 10 miles of a moonlight walk (starting at 10 pm) although it stays light so long here that it will still be light when we start out.
3:31 am
sprite
(control F5 on a windows machine gives you a force refresh)
3:31 am
sandyloo
that happens to me sometimes norma and it generally disappears after a little patience
3:31 am
sprite
*sends liz a suncoloured warm blanket*
3:32 am
sandyloo
Haz, will you be holding His hand, during this moonlight stroll?
3:32 am
lizmac
Thanks, Sprite.
3:32 am
Haz1558
In my dreams only, sandy.
3:32 am
sandyloo
10 miles is a fair walk! I take it that you are looking for sponsors?
3:33 am
sprite
the sponsor page link is in Haz's profile, sandy
3:33 am
Norma
It isn't going away sandy lol
3:33 am
sandyloo
looking....
3:33 am
Haz1558
I'll actually be walking with another friend, sandy. Yes, details are on my profile if anybody wants to help.
3:34 am
Haz1558
Oh, I've just realised that rubyfoo will be pleased. Her dogs are here (ch4/10).
3:35 am
sprite
I lost a very dear friend to breast cancer, a few years ago. She was very young and it went very very fast.
3:35 am
sprite
so here's to regular mammograms
3:35 am
lynxxx
and they are both talking too
3:36 am
lizmac
Off for breakfast. Look up Carcassonne if you have a spare minute, folks, well worth a look.
3:36 am
sandyloo
got that link haz!
3:36 am
sandyloo
Is "He" going on the walk Haz?
3:37 am
sprite
enjoy, liz
3:37 am
Haz1558
I'm sorry to hear that, sprite. The National Health Service offers screening to women between the ages of 50 and 70. This charity offers free screening to women who are too young or too old to come into the category. They're picking up 6 cancers per month out of 1000 women and then referring for treatment.
3:37 am
Haz1558
Bye liz - I've heard of Carcassonne but I must refresh my memory.
3:37 am
sprite
6%! That is a lot. That proves how necessary it is, doesn't it.
3:38 am
sandyloo
In Aus we can get free mammograms over 50
3:38 am
sprite
my friend was barely 40
3:38 am
Haz1558
6 out of a 1000 rather than 100, though.
3:39 am
sprite
oh, sorry, I missed a zero in my enthusiasm. Still, 6 promille is still worth it.
3:39 am
lynxxx
It seems the same as Great Britain Sandy, stops at 70
3:40 am
Haz1558
It is. I know that any government has finite resources, so I suppose we're stepping in to help broaden the service in the hope of saving lives.
3:41 am
sprite
that's all anyone can do
3:42 am
lynxxx
It seems breasts are too dense to accurately detect lumps under 50....but there is so many young women who are getting it. Surely something is better than nothing. I worked with a young woman, full of life, who was taken at 30. Devastating
3:42 am
sprite
am so sorry, lyn
3:42 am
Haz1558
That's awful, lynxxx.
3:46 am
sprite
fireflies. Thanks all, for the help and the company. Have a relaxing evening and/or a lovely day.
3:46 am
Haz1558
Well done, sprite.
3:47 am
rubyfoo
good morning everybody
3:47 am
lynxxx
I can't support you Haz as all my support goes to our Cancer Institute here which does some wonderful research as well as treatment (as well as saving my life). I hope the your organization raises lots of money though!
3:47 am
lynxxx
Congrats Sprite!
3:47 am
Haz1558
Good morning, ruby.
3:47 am
rubyfoo
busy morning so far, met a neighbor whom I hadn't met before (in 11 years!) and we comared gardens. All in French and very nice.
3:47 am
Haz1558
lynxxx, I understand completely, I appreciate the moral support as well.
3:48 am
Haz1558
ruby, there's an easy word for you today. The clue is ch4/10 - Max and Ruby.
3:49 am
lynxxx
well I have passed Hursh's magic 14 so I must go and wash dishes BBL to finish
3:49 am
Haz1558
See you later, lynxxx.
3:49 am
rubyfoo
it's intetesting about mammograms: I had breast cancer almost 20 yrs ago and after I found the two tiny lumps (one the size of a pea, the other, a peppercorn), the mammogram didn't see them.
3:50 am
rubyfoo
I had to insist they were there and by the time the doctors agreed to remove them, I was stage 2A!
3:52 am
rubyfoo
is the theme dogs? wo** and ch** hahah

rubyfoo
my life really got started at 40 and my 40's were the absolute best!
6:03 am
rubyfoo
I worried about 30, was happy to be alive at 50, but 40 and onwards were wonderful!
6:04 am
PinnyPoppins
That's good to know! Mine had a good couple of years in my 20s, but then hit a downward slope
6:04 am
rubyfoo
I left my 1st husband at 27 and the years just before and several after, were very difficult
6:05 am
PinnyPoppins
Wow! You were married so young!

6:52 am
Nancy Boy

8:16 am
Mom
I would never have gotten that one
8:17 am
samnz
In which country do they speak yiddish? O_o
8:17 am
samnz
Not Yidland surely
8:19 am
samnz
Oh wow you can look at the dictionary definition by clicking on the [?] next to words in the word list. How handy!
8:20 am
samnz
Oh Yiddish is a Hebrew language?
8:22 am
mkg
yiddish was a language made up of german, hebrew and russian by jews living in those lands
8:23 am
mkg
no country ever spoke yiddish. the j ews in europe spoke it and the language of the nation they lived in. the jews made up languages
8:23 am
mkg
there was ladino which was half hebrew and half spanish, and several others, such as one with hebrew and arabic.
8:23 am
samnz
Interesting
8:24 am
mkg
yiddish is dying out now but the english dictionaries in the u.s. have yiddish expressions and words that entered the u.s. vocabulary like "kvetch", "schlepp" etc.
8:24 am
mkg
also words like "schmuck" which is penis in yiddish.
8:24 am
samnz

8:31 am

Oh well of course I probably have over the internet, but not much of the culture comes through text based communication. And I've seen plenty on the US TV shows that play on NZ TV. But have never talked to a Jew in person
8:32 am
samnz
comes through via*
8:32 am
bichon
We're much like everyone else, but with a great language.
8:33 am
samnz
lol, I only just got h4, the foot of a cow
8:33 am
bichon
Where in NZ do you live. I've been to the South Island

In Dunedin, yea the South Is.
8:34 am
lynxxx
Do you know John Key sam?
8:34 am
samnz
He's my uncle!
8:34 am
bichon
I wasn't there. Mostly we were out of the towns and cities, but we did spend a few days in Q'town
8:34 am
lynxxx
Really?! the politician, he is of jewish descent
8:35 am
samnz
Nah, I've seen him on TV. Something to do with the government
8:35 am
bichon
We went to see the movie LOTR in Q'town and people in the audience were commenting "I know that place"
8:35 am
samnz
Lol no not really, I thought you were making a joke of how everyone in NZ knows everyone else because its such a small country
8:36 am
samnz
I didn't know he was of Jewish decent tho
8:37 am
lynxxx
NZ does have a small population of jews, you should check it out.
8:37 am
samnz
Oh cool, Queenstown must have been great. I love that part of the country
8:37 am
bichon
I bet most of the Jews in NZ live in Aukland
8:37 am
samnz
Most of NZ lives in Auckland
8:37 am
bichon
Q'town has good restaurants and is the jumping off place for adventures in the wild
8:38 am
lynxxx
Oh, by the way, John Key is your prime Minister
8:38 am
samnz
Yep, he replaced Helen Clarke
8:40 am
lynxxx
whew - I am relieved that you do know, was a bit worried when you said"something to do with he government"
8:40 am
samnz
Yea sorry was just being silly
8:40 am
samnz
I think I'm a bit over tired
8:41 am
lynxxx

8:41 am
bichon
What time is it in Dunedin?

Well if I'm a g4.9 then you're a g6.24

Mmmm, I learnt how to make a steamed sponge pudding in the microwave today
8:45 am
samnz
Thinking of making another one
8:45 am

For a 2 AM snack lol
8:45 am
lynxxx
you don't sleep?
8:46 am
samnz
Nah, I'm just a teenager and a nightowl.
8:47 am
samnz
Have always preferred being awake at night time
8:48 am
samnz
Actually, I don't really prefer it. I just dont get tired
8:49 am
lynxxx
That cause your internal clock is used to being up all night
8:50 am
samnz
Yeah. It's hard to get back into a 'normal
8:50 am
samnz
... 'normal' sleeping pattern again
8:51 am
samnz
Well I wouldn't really even say again, because this is how I've been for most of my life
8:52 am
lynxxx
Yep - I have a 26 yo daughter who is still doing it. Crazy. You miss out on so much that is happening during the day
8:55 am
samnz
I think it's probably due to a lack of self organization
8:55 am
samnz
Like I have no schedule that I have to adhere to
8:57 am
lynxxx
You are at school or work or in between?
9:00 am
samnz

10:47 am
Haz1558
It's mostly easy with a few headscratchers, jmc.
10:57 am
jmcnrick
the big head scratcher for me is un7 since my typing it sent Mother spinning in her grave!
10:57 am
jmcnrick
I can hear her yelling you cannot modify un6/30!
10:58 am
jmcnrick
It is either un6 or not un6 and there is nothing else possible
10:58 am
Haz1558
I know. It's questionable at the very least.
10:59 am
Haz1558
Typing un7/44 has made you un7/44?
10:59 am
Haz1558
(There are two of them)
10:59 am
jmcnrick
oh ty I had not seen that!
11:00 am
Haz1558
You're welcome.
11:01 am
LeslieAnn
am totally baffled by this convo.
11:02 am
jmcnrick
oo what haz and I are talking about?
11:02 am
LeslieAnn
the un convo :)
11:03 am
Haz1558
Conversation. If something is un6/30 - it means it is special, one of a kind. It can't be more one of a kind, so un7/44, the comparative form is dodgy. un7/44 (the other) means disturbance - un plus not noisy.
11:03 am
jmcnrick
my Mother the English teacher drilled into my head that if something was un6 (singular, one of a kind) it could not be more one of a kind.
11:03 am
Haz1558
I think I would have liked your mother, jmc. She sounds like a fine woman.
11:04 am
crosshair
and yet it will not take noogie..the world is chaos!! aaahhhh!
11:04 am
jmcnrick
she had her moments!
11:05 am
Haz1558
I know, but I'm sure she could use an apostrophe correctly, couldn't she?
11:05 am
jmcnrick
absolutely.
11:05 am
jmcnrick
she could spell too --- I sometimes would call her up to ask her how to spell a word
11:05 am
Ormal
lol - I love this whole conversation. I was telling my son that un6 could NOT possibly be a word when you started talking about it. Then crossy steps in with his comment and had us both laughing. Thanks all.
11:06 am
Haz1558
As I said, a fine woman.
11:06 am
Ormal
sorry, meant un7
11:06 am
jmcnrick
in fact, when I was taking a course on reference library skills. . .
11:07 am
jmcnrick
(you are correct ormal! -- un7 is NOT a word)
11:07 am
crosshair
i believe that word will also work with est
11:07 am
crosshair
not today but i recall it on other grids
11:07 am
jmcnrick
we were given an assignment to find the names for different obscure items
11:07 am
jmcnrick
like aglet
11:08 am
crosshair
tryptch
11:08 am
jmcnrick
one of the words we were to find was the name of the paragraphs that are quotes frequently in a foreign language that are at the beginning of a chapter in a book
11:09 am
jmcnrick
I was the only student that got that word (which I have long forgotten)
11:09 am
Haz1558
Epigram?
11:09 am
Haz1558
Or epigraph?
11:10 am
Haz1558
Googling to find the difference.
11:10 am
jmcnrick
epigraph
11:10 am
jmcnrick
anyway the professor asked me how I found the word and I said. . .
11:10 am
Haz1558
Yes, epigraph.
11:11 am
jmcnrick
I asked my mother
11:11 am
Rhondabe
can anyone help me please with go5..20
11:11 am
Haz1558
But of course!
11:11 am
Deeha
Dont you hate people that say 'almost un6' !! If its un6 its un6 - a one off
11:11 am
aslindy
hello all
11:11 am
jmcnrick
the whole class laughed at me but my professor was impressed and said a good reference library is not afraid to use an resource
11:11 am
helensgirlkid
I was able to grit my teeth and try un7 (the first one) and just be grateful for the space filled. But wo6 - now that one has me boggling, which is an uncomfortable combination with babbling!
11:12 am
jmcnrick
oh no he's dead! he's a go5!
11:12 am
Haz1558
go5 - looks like a shortened version of a description of milk that's soured.
11:12 am
Deeha
Love that clue Haz!!
11:13 am
Haz1558
Or go plus a negative two letters,finish with a high scoring letter.

hi trish heln and aslindy and rhonda and deeha!
11:14 am
helensgirlkid
go 5/20 is, I think, another transliteration of a Yiddish word - in the US it's most commonly spelled with an "i" in the second syllable, and sometimes a double vowel at the end.
11:14 am
jmcnrick
no ala trish I couldn't make it work -- I am only going to Keny and Tanzania
11:14 am
Haz1558
wo6 - Think of the old James Stewart film 'It's a w******ful life, but replace one of the consonants (it ends up with a double helping of a consonant in the middle.
11:15 am
Haz1558
jmc, you're combining my 2006 and 2008 holiday destinations.

I had hoped to make it happen, but it got too complicated and my friends in SA are leaving the week after I am arriving in Kenya. . ..
11:16 am
helensgirlkid
Perhaps wo 6 is from a liberace quotation.
11:16 am
jmcnrick
Could I make a day trip from Dar to Durbin??
11:17 am
helensgirlkid
Got to run - big petroleum show here this week, must drop by - I wonder what they'll all be talking about?
11:17 am
Haz1558

1:05 pm
rubyfoo

1:05 pm
rubyfoo

1:05 pm
crosshair

1:05 pm

Awesome! Did you take time to enjoy it or inhale it?
1:07 pm
Ormal
My husband and I are doing the same Krysten, and I just hate the transition.
1:07 pm
Nancy Boy
all depends on whether you eat to live or live to eat, I guess ;)
1:08 pm
MizHoffle
I think my heart just seized up reading that!
1:08 pm
crosshair
lol car,it was an all day sort of thing:))
1:08 pm
Krysten
Ormal, it is hard to get started but it really does work. My husband has lost 40 lbs and me, over 30!
1:08 pm
rubyfoo
I'm afraid that I eat to live because there's nothing that great to eat around here!
1:09 pm
rubyfoo
everything crossy mentions sounds better than anything here, except maybe the guacamole
1:10 pm
crosshair
good food donw well is a celebration of life and laughter with loved ones,i dont made food just to put calories of minerals in or out.i had this one friend who used to only eat thinbgs when her body was in crisis for a particular mineral lol drove me nuts
1:10 pm
bichon
although un 7 is a word in Enable, it shouldn't be. How can yu have a comparative of a word that is an absoolute?
1:11 pm
Ormal
I've already started losing weight and we started almost 2 weeks ago. It's portion control that is killing my hubby. I started using one of those tiny plates for my meals.
1:11 pm
Krysten
that is the best thing to do! That's what we needed to do as well.
1:11 pm
rubyfoo
I'm a little bit like a pregnant monkey; I get very specific food cravings
1:11 pm
crosshair
she never enjoyed french fries,she ate it cause her sodium was crashing,she never ate beets for the taste,but because her hemoglobin was doing strange things lol
1:12 pm
Krysten
As well as eat breakfast and exercise more regularly.
1:12 pm
rubyfoo
I eat a good breakfast, however
1:12 pm
Soodle
Ah, stoppit, will you? I have just demolished a big dish of strawberries and fresh cream. Totally delicious, but murder on the waistline.
1:13 pm
Ormal
we bought bicycles since my knees are shot, and I have heel spurs I'm trying to heal.
1:13 pm
rubyfoo
I planted 12 strawberry plants this year and by next year should have enough to throw a babble party!
1:13 pm
crosshair
the rule i follow is this 'eat breakfast like a king,lunch like a prince and dinner like pauper"
1:13 pm
Krysten
whatever works for you and your husband, ormal, it doesn't matter as long as you move. Great work!
1:14 pm
rubyfoo
Irish cream!
1:14 pm
Ormal
All but one of my strawberry plants died! :(
1:14 pm
Krysten
I use a treadmill for about 90 minutes a day now and hate missing it. Of course, it took me 2 months to get that far.
1:14 pm
Nancy Boy
Soodle...your profile constantly amuses me
1:15 pm
rubyfoo
mine are really tiny and I have no idea if they'll survive next winter, but one has two berries, unfortunately eaten by a slug or something
1:15 pm
Soodle
Put my name down for the Babble Strawberry party, Ruby, and I will bring the cream.
1:15 pm
Krysten
Uhmmmm...how come "nooner" is not a word?
1:15 pm
crosshair
wife and i walk 3 mile per day nice way to burn those calories
1:15 pm
Soodle
Hiya Nancy :)
1:15 pm
rubyfoo

1:15 pm
Atalante

1:15 pm
crosshair
it will not take noogie either
1:16 pm
rubyfoo
my husband walks 55 minutes, 5 times a week, while I lie on the couch and read!
1:16 pm
Nancy Boy
well, it's ryanair, so it's a 1 1/2 hour flight, and then a two hour bus ride, and then a walk...
1:16 pm
Soodle
Yay. I'll start brushing up on my Francais.
1:16 pm
rubyfoo
oh ata, you are so young!!! lol
1:16 pm
Krysten
let me use it in a sentence..."my husband and I use to have nooners when we were younger"
1:17 pm
Krysten
it's better than lunch!
1:17 pm
rubyfoo
hahah krysten
1:17 pm
Ormal
I ride 7 miles a day 6 days a week.
1:17 pm
crosshair
we have nooners,but now they are at 3:30,after the power nap lol
1:17 pm
Krysten
And, it burns calories...just to tie the two subjects together!
1:17 pm
rubyfoo
great way to lose weight!
1:17 pm
Nancy Boy
I don't know what a nooner is, but I'm guessing it's relating to either sex or alcohol ;)
1:17 pm
Atalante
I see .. I think!
1:17 pm
Ormal
nooners went when the hubby started working so far away... darn
1:17 pm
bichon
ruby, I can commiserate with you. My hubby walks to work, 2 and 1/2 miles each way, in all weather. If he doesn't 2alk, he drives to the gym before work. I power walk, but it's not really enough
1:17 pm
Soodle
Then throw in the strawberries and cream...........
1:17 pm
Krysten
Gotta admit, better than bikes or treadmills!
1:18 pm

The amended version doesn't criminalize the act of online gambling, rather it prohibits American poker players from using U.S. financial institutions and their banking tools, including credit cards, checks or funds transfers, when depositing or withdrawing funds at Internet gambling sites. If the law is enacted by President Bush, it will become illegal for online gambling companies to accept monies from U.S. financial institutions.

I finished the grid toni4/4 so here is a story of clues I was a complete nu 4/6 today.At no4/4,on my lunch ho4/6,I babbled instead of socializing with the other teachers. I like to babble in my classroom where it is nice and qu5/16 with no husband to bother me.After having go4/6 shopping,I got home today after fo4/8 and reentered the words I found at work into Babble I almost qu4/7 because this grid got hard,but then I called upon those monkeys.My Monkeys were un6/30 today.Usually they are loud and un7/44.No4/4 of my monkeys were bad. They didn't go4/9 around today. They were qu5/16 obedient today and I did not have to hu 4/6 them. They were good hu6/24s & hu4/6ed for a lot of words. I think that I have re5/18ed faith in my monkeys. One of my monkeys was un7/44 than the others.He wanted to be rewarded with an Oscar Meyer we6/30 instead of bananas. After I completed the grid, I let them be ru6/21s and ru 6/39 to places unknown.Now I am available to clue.I think I need to ho4/5 my cluing skills.Then I'm going to look for some ch4/10 to ch 4/10 on. I still haven't eaten dinner yet

9:56 pm
Nef
I do feel for her, but everything *I* suggest is wrong according to her
9:57 pm
Nef
will that really help tor; or is that the usual remedy? I told her to try it
9:58 pm
lbdawger
not really a whole lot to do for a dry socket. don't suck on straws or chew gum, that just irritates the hole.
9:59 pm
Nef
she's been good about not doing either of those, lbd.
9:59 pm
lbdawger
maybe she needs a shot of whiskey or twelve. *wink*
10:00 pm
Nef
I don't know; for a minute there I thought of giving her a "shot" of my fist! She's 27 and was whining like a 2 year old

10:02 pm
