1:23 am

MizHoffle

is it cheating to use a dictionary?

mixi6

fireworks

1:24 am

MizHoffle

yay mixi!

1:26 am

MizHoffle

because I use one often...I don't want to be breaking any babble rules

1:26 am

MizHoffle

just being resourceful

1:27 am

MizHoffle

and finding lots of words not in the puzzle that still don't seem like real words and not finding words in the dictionary that are in the puzzle.

1:27 am

Pinikula

I don't think any aid is considered cheating...I'd consider it more "creative resourcing!"

1:28 am

Pinikula

(just passing through on way to meet pillow)

1:28 am

MizHoffle

and here I thought was just typing to myself!

1:28 am

MizHoffle

night pini

1:28 am

MizHoffle

I am heading there myself. Just trying to get the big words done so it doesn't seem so daunting in the morning

1:28 am

rururocks

if it is funk & Wagnals.. that is definitely not good

1:28 am

Pinikula

glad I passed through, Miz!!! will cya tmw! :)

3:47 am

Jayk

3:47 am

LoriP

Life is good. No point in whinging, because nobody wants to hear it anyway. :p How 'bout with you?

3:48 am

FMitch

Fine and dandy hun, we have summer this week!

3:48 am

3:48 am

All week? That's some kind of record for England, no?

3:49 am

FMitch

3:49 am

LoriP

Holy Schmoley. The end times for sure.

3:49 am

FMitch

It usually pours with rain when Wimbledeon is on but not a drop so far.

3:49 am

rubyfoo

3:49 am

Jayk

3:50 am

FMitch

Couldn't sleep Jayk?

3:50 am

LoriP

3:51 am

Jayk

3:52 am

FMitch

Is Uni enjoying her new job?

3:52 am

LoriP

She is. She's been pleasantly surprised at how she's enjoying it. We'll see after the honeymoon phase. It's important to like what you do, and that's all I really want for her.

3:53 am

LoriP

That's what I do Jayk. No point in laying there, drives me nuts.

3:54 am

FMitch

Oh I hve those moments too Jayk.

Glad Uni is enjoying it so far!

3:54 am

LoriP

3:58 am

FMitch

Phone, back in a while as it is my Mum.

3:59 am

FMitch

3:59 am

rubyfoo

any hints for the 7's? As usual, the first 50 are easy

4:00 am

LoriP

Strangers on the Internet, dropped like spoilt meat. That FM has strange values.

4:00 am

Jayk

i don't have them yet

4:00 am

rubyfoo

I feel rather like spoiled meat this AM!

4:01 am

LoriP

have only just started Ruby, haven't gotten any yet. they'll show up eventually

4:01 am

rubyfoo

is delicious a phantom?

4:02 am

sprite

morning all

4:03 am

rubyfoo

good morning sprite! how are you feeling?

4:03 am

LoriP

Mornin' sprite

4:03 am

sprite

hmz bad day to ask me, am down and panicky and overloaded. Ask again on Monday and i promise I will be ok again.
How are you, rubyfoo and Lori?

4:04 am

rubyfoo

I made currant jelly yesterday. Although it's a little bit soft, would a jar cheer you?

4:04 am

LoriP

Life is good thanks.

4:05 am

sprite

happy to hear it, Lori

4:05 am

sprite

sounds lovely, ruby, thanks :)

4:05 am

rubyfoo

does anybody know if I should re-cook it?

4:06 am

sprite

no idea, I have made jelly once in my life and had the pan overcook and the whole furnace deepred and sticky and I never dared again, grin.

4:07 am

rubyfoo

I need a domestic goddess to advise me, I guess

4:08 am

LoriP

I've re-cooked apple jelly successfully, but I also add a wee bit more pectin when taking that unfortunate route.

4:09 am

sprite

I can google for you on runny currant jelly

4:09 am

rubyfoo

usually currants set up easily; I think I was rushing it a little, 4 mins instead of 6.....

4:10 am

sprite

that is what I read here, it comes from boiling it too short.

4:10 am

sprite

so recooking should work, with Lori's trick added, I'd say.

4:11 am

rubyfoo

aha, so I'll dump it all back in, trying to maintain the lovely color. THEN, I'll jump in the car and drive to Holland!

4:11 am

LoriP

I never time it. The instructions are more like guidelines.... :) When it gels on the spoon, it's done. The time I had to re-cook it, I followed the instructions. :)

4:11 am

rubyfoo

to cheer up Sprite!

4:11 am

sprite

hehehe I am willing to settle for a virtual one, rubyfoo, don't worry. It is quite a drive.

4:11 am

LoriP

***FM, you're being rude. tell your Mother you can speak later. :)***

4:11 am

sprite

intuition rules, Lori :)

4:12 am

sprite

lolllll

4:12 am

rubyfoo

I know....

4:13 am

sprite

as for the phantoms, delicious is one, deficient too, defiance almost.

4:13 am

rubyfoo

I feel bad that you are having a tough day! I wish there was something we could do. Maybe if we all sing.....

4:14 am

LoriP

Mom had sever Arthritis all my memory, and as kids we were her hands. We baked, cooked under her supervision from the time we could raech the counter. I remember thinking that I'd never be able to go by "feel". Now I do, lol. Things change.

4:14 am

sprite

Monday will be better, don't worry. It is doing too much in too short a time and having to participate in things that are not good for me. Some sacrifices to happiness for my kids and hubby, and to maintaining a good relationship with the people living in our street.

4:15 am

sprite

wow Lori! You must have learned a lot that way. Did you mind doing it?

4:15 am

LoriP

I think it would be awesome if the volcano could be Latin-ated. But no. Denied again. No Etni for me.

4:15 am

rubyfoo

ebtice, another phantom!

4:15 am

sprite

silly volcano. Isn't that somewhere in the italian realm? All the more reason to adhere to latin rules!

4:15 am

LoriP

Not a't'all sprite. It was what it was.

4:16 am

rubyfoo

entice* can't even spell the phantoms!

4:16 am

LoriP

Plus, we liked to eat, so it breeds enthusiasm. lol

4:16 am

sprite

my kids had to help me a lot too and they don't mind either. Aren't children wonderful.

4:16 am

LoriP

Exactly my thinking sprite, Etni, we should lobby for change! Perhaps a letter writing campaign.....

4:17 am

LoriP

When you're a kid you don't think anything of it. All quite normal. Helping out, or dark basements...... You don't even really think about it.

4:19 am

sprite

that is true, I never questioned anything later. But I think helping out and doing a part of the chores will not damage children. Dark basements... yes. They will.

4:19 am

sprite

never questioned anything until later*

4:21 am

FMitch

The only time I follow a recepie to the letter is when baking.
and good morning spritey sprite.

4:22 am

sprite

hiya FM :) How are you and yours?

4:23 am

FMitch

I fine, a tad warm, Mum is OK too all things considered.

4:24 am

lynxxx

Hello everyone. Wow FM your garden has grown palm trees next to the pond

4:24 am

rubyfoo

4:24 am

sprite

*waves FM and her Mum a bit of coolness with a palm leaf*

4:24 am

LoriP

Oh, you're gifting us with your presence again FM? ***Hands FM a towel to wipe the sarcasm drips***

4:46 am

LoriP

***Not sure what's more disturbing, the fact that FM has all these questions, or Hazaurus knowing the answers***.

4:46 am

sprite

4:47 am

sprite

I knew a couple too :P

4:47 am

LoriP

Honestly, my memory gets worse by the minute. at least I don't remember long enough to worry about it.

4:48 am

Haz1558

I can remember things if I'm interested in them which is why all maths and science went in one ear and out the other.

4:49 am

FMitch

*shudders at the memory of trying to learn the laws of probablility*

4:49 am

FMitch

4:53 am

Haz1558

Capital cities are sneaky, you think you have them off pat and then they go and create new countries.

4:54 am

FMitch

yup it's Bolivia

4:54 am

sprite

i agree, FM

4:56 am

lynxxx

lynxxx

I have width (unfortunately around the hips)

4:58 am

FMitch

lol lynxxx me too.

4:59 am

Haz1558

It's babble to blame, lynxxx, posterior spread is a well known side effect.

4:59 am

Haz1558

Cakes and chocolate have nothing to do with it. Nothing.

4:59 am

FMitch

No cakes or chocolate in this house, just not a lot of exercise.

5:00 am

lynxxx

so it's OK that I have just taken another Root Beer Cake out of the oven?

5:00 am

Haz1558

It's fine, lynxxx, you are not to blame.

5:00 am

sprite

of course. Put it in the PB. I'll pay a free word to get a slice.

5:00 am

FMitch

It is fine lynxxx so long as you don't eat any of it.

5:01 am

guernseygirl

oh my word, how energetic everyone is.

5:03 am

Haz1558

Hear that, Lori? She scrubs the bird bath.

5:04 am

FMitch

It is the only thing I scrub, anything else waits for Andy to do.

5:04 am

lynxxx

lool, glad you got in first FM

5:04 am

LoriP

C'mon now FM, pull my other leg.

5:04 am

Dachef

is that a euphemism? "She scrubs the birdbath..." nudge nudge, wink wink......

5:04 am

LoriP

Nobody scrubs things, never mind a birdbath.

5:05 am

FMitch

Dachef!!!!!!!!!!

5:05 am

Haz1558

Good morning, Dachef.

Dachef

5:06 am

Haz1558

Have the UK authorities blabbed to the US about you?

5:07 am

FMitch

Patience is a virtue and old sayings are a pain the butt.

5:07 am

Dachef

hope not.

5:09 am

FMitch

Fingers crossed it won't take too long then Dachef.

5:09 am

Haz1558

Why FM, how can you wish for Dachef to leave these happy shores?

5:10 am

Dachef

Ta. Still working, but on US time. The time diff is killing me.

5:10 am

FMitch

I want an excuse to go to the States?

5:10 am

Haz1558

Oh, does that mean you do your best babbling during US day?

5:11 am

LoriP

All righty kids, I'm off too. Have a great day all!

5:11 am

FMitch

only joking - the idea of doing another long haul flight leaves me flat.

5:11 am

Dachef

'best babbling'? Bit of a misnomer that one.

5:11 am

FMitch

Bye Lori, good to have seen you hun!

5:11 am

Haz1558

Ah, are you angling for a role in Dachef's film, FM?

5:22 am

guernseygirl

5:22 am

Haz1558

You're welcome.

5:24 am

guernseygirl

my monkeys have just found a group word for badgers - i love those group words.

5:25 am

Haz1558

|here are some great ones in English. I wonder if other languages are as inventive?

5:26 am

guernseygirl

i'm afraid my knowledge of other languages is not good enough to answer that

5:27 am

Haz1558

No, I don't know the answer either, just wondering!

5:27 am

guernseygirl

but i believe that English has the largest vocabulary of any language so we've probably got more

5:28 am

Haz1558

Good answer.

5:29 am

guernseygirl

ah, i've just found the in8

5:29 am

Haz1558

And now you're in quarantine.

5:29 am

sandrafrances

any clue for the in 8

5:29 am

guernseygirl

that's right. sandra, Haz's last remark was the clue

5:29 am

Haz1558

If you're in8, quarantine might be a good precaution.

5:30 am

lynxxx

Bye from me also

5:30 am

sandrafrances

5:30 am

You're welcome, Sally - see you later, perhaps.

5:31 am

5:33 am

guernseygirl

just thought i'd change my icon before i left

5:34 am

Sally-catlover

Oooooh! Are they yours?

5:35 am

guernseygirl

Violet and Barnabas. Sadly Barnabas had to be put to sleep last year, but Violet thrives

5:35 am

Sally-catlover

Lovely photo, gg

5:36 am

guernseygirl

it's my favourite. Violet used Barnabas as a settee

5:37 am

Sally-catlover

We had a black and white cat like that, called Puddy - a very approriate name as it turned out because he would eat for England. When we found our two tiny abandoned kittens, they used to climb into his basket and cuddle up to him.

5:39 am

guernseygirl

Barnabas was a stray and very thin but heand got very fat when he ended up here. i used to think that he always thought that every meal he had might be his last. he ws very gentle with violet when she arrived as a 6-week old kitten

5:40 am

guernseygirl

Anyway, i really must go now. See you later i hope

5:41 am

Sally-catlover

Puddy would eat everyone else's food then his own. The kittens we found were only about 4 weeks old, so when we had weaned them we put their special food in a cardboard box with holes cut in just their size to keep him out!

5:41 am

Sally-catlover

Bye gg

6:11 am

Sally-catlover

Fireworks, so bye to all lurkers.

8:07 am

good morning everyone.
M9, you might have to refresh

8:07 am

Mom

{{River}} hello, how was the pre-op yesterday?

8:08 am

m9f9l

8:08 am

Riverdance

long and stressful - he is in pretty bad shape - cant talk about it again right now

8:09 am

Mom

ah, I see. Welll, good morning

8:09 am

m9f9l

{{{{{river}}}}}

8:09 am

Mom

oh {{{{{River}}}}} I am so sorry

8:10 am

Nancy Boy

it's alright M9...I don't have a wedding picture at all ;)

8:12 am

Mom

Hi {{NB}}

8:12 am

Nancy Boy

Hi Mom :) and River and everyone else! just on break at work...have a 20 minute window

8:12 am

m9f9l

yeah..I suppose if things hadn't gone down the way they did you could have posted a pic of the tat. I'll settle for a pic of a kitten!LOL

8:13 am

Riverdance

I'm at work too - no one else here though

8:13 am

m9f9l

and NO COMMENTS... just realised my mistake there...

8:13 am

m9f9l

(you have a naughty mind NB!)

8:13 am

Nancy Boy

the tat? what's that? :)

8:13 am

m9f9l

tattoo

8:14 am

Nancy Boy

OH. Well the tattoo is a bit too low down on my body to really be broadcoast on babble before the watershed ;)

8:15 am

m9f9l

tattoos are so common in America it's just shortened to tat. I meant Leo's tattoo!LOL

8:15 am

m9f9l

watershed..is that like water cooler?? gives new meaning to scuttlebut!

8:16 am

Nancy Boy

LOL! The watershed here means 9 o'clock in the evening, after which time TV programmes can use baaad swearwords and show scenes of a sexual nature ;)

8:17 am

m9f9l

OH! funny

8:18 am

Nancy Boy

as for Leo's tattoo, posting a picture of your ex-boyfriend's chest is really more revenge prank than wedding photo ;)

8:18 am

Minski

Greetings All! I'm not babbling right now. Just popping in to see how everyone's doing.

8:18 am

m9f9l

hi min!

8:18 am

Mom

Hi Minski

8:18 am

Minski

I was just reading and found a great quote that pretty much sums up my life up to about age 30.

8:18 am

Minski

A quote from the book Marley & Me that pretty much sums up our earlier years: "We ate a lot of pizza, drank a lot of beer, and gave exactly zero thought to the possibility of someday being anything other than young, single, unfettered consumers of pizza and beer."

8:19 am

m9f9l

hmm... revenge.... hmmmmm

8:19 am

m9f9l

NB! is that you?

8:19 am

Minski

It made me laugh so I thought I would share.

8:20 am

Nancy Boy

LOL Minski!

8:20 am

m9f9l

that is funny.. we read that in book group and then not long after the movie came out.

8:20 am

Mom

lol Minski.

8:20 am

Minski

Hi Nance!

8:20 am

Minski

Hi m9.

8:20 am

Minski

Hi Mom1

8:20 am

Nancy Boy

Oh! Yes it is, M9 - not the most flattering picture though, since it was taken the morning after my housewarming...I was a bit worse for wear ;)

8:20 am

m9f9l

or someone working on a head for a wax museum...?

8:21 am

Minski

I haven't seen the movie yet. I'll add it into my netflix queue now that I'm reading the book. but I'll bet the book is better.

8:21 am

m9f9l

you got that correctly Min..

8:22 am

m9f9l

you're adorable NB@

8:22 am

EspritdJean

if anyone wants to take a movie OFF their netflix queue, I suggest Shelter Island

8:23 am

Nancy Boy

my morning hair is something of a disgrace, M9 ;)

8:24 am

Minski

DH and I watched "It Might Get Loud" last night.

8:24 am

m9f9l

8:29 am

LOL M9. I was just sooo excited about the star wars clue.

8:29 am

Riverdance

I need more caffeine to find my last 4 - brb

8:29 am

m9f9l

yes.. that was a very good one!

8:29 am

Mom

**sigh** never seen Star Wars

8:29 am

m9f9l

Mom?!?!?!?!??!??!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!?!??
!?!?!?!?

8:29 am

m9f9l

although I should talk.

8:30 am

m9f9l

<<<never seen Titanic

8:30 am

Mom

my sweetie and the boys love them

8:30 am

Mom

saw that one, not at one sitting though

8:30 am

Nancy Boy

neither have I, Mom. I've made lightsabers out of glow-sticks on occasion, but never seen the films

8:30 am

m9f9l

I never could get into the newer ones.. but the first? classic!

8:30 am

Nancy Boy

never seen Titanic! Go and watch it NOW!

8:31 am

Mom

I am not a big movie watcher

8:31 am

m9f9l

NB...it's like thinking looking at a huge mountain and thinking "I have to climb THAT?" the thought of watching it tires me.

8:33 am

Riverdance

OMG - you all havent seen Star Wars or Titanic - lets not tell movieman - the shock of it all

8:33 am

m9f9l

but I actually met a man who was on the Titanic!

8:33 am

Nancy Boy

I see what you mean, M9. But, I love Titanic - makes me weep everytime. Kate Winslet's character is a right b*tch in it though; like there wasn't room for Leo on the big door?!

8:33 am

m9f9l

hey! I've seen star wars!

8:33 am

Riverdance

phew!

8:34 am

m9f9l

ROFL!! (or at leas t I just snorted out loud. for REAL!)

8:34 am

Mom

I am the one who hasn't seen Star Wars

8:34 am

Nancy Boy

Gosh, M9 - what a terrifying experience for him to have! I've been on a sinking boat before, but it was an inflatable dinghy which one of my friends punctured with a fork ;)

8:34 am

Riverdance

I taped them off of HBO when they first came out - proably watched them 50 times back then. Still have those old tapes - lol

8:35 am

Mom

I still prefer tapes.

8:35 am

m9f9l

I think the originals for all their hokey effects are way better

8:36 am

Riverdance

absolutely

8:36 am

m9f9l

there are certain trek movies we watch over and over too

8:36 am

Riverdance

anyone have the in6

8:36 am

Nancy Boy

to give someone a disease?

8:37 am

Riverdance

I never got into the remake movies - I loved star trek the original show with Wm Shatner and Leonard Nemoy

8:37 am

Mom

I have in 6/30, clean your wound so it doesn't get in6ed

8:37 am

m9f9l

thanks for th!ose

8:37 am

Mom

who plays if it's a tie, Pwinn? I have no idea how it works

10:25 am

m9f9l

wow pwinn...looking at your tree. and those sandwiches look..um... overkill?LOL

10:25 am

pwinn

In case of a tie, they use "other factors," which probably favor Uruguay, I think. I'm a bit fuzzy on that myself.

10:27 am

pwinn

In the group rounds, they had this list: http://bit.ly/aZp5aU

10:27 am

But in this round, I'm not entirely sure.

so you're a photo freak pwinn?

10:33 am

Nancy Boy

see what you mean about the sandwiches ;)

10:33 am

Nancy, looks like the same rules apply in Round of 16, so it should be possible to do the math and figure out who would advance in case of a tie.

Nancy, 7 pts to 4 leading into today's game, so I think S.Korea needs to win it outright, not just tie. :-(

11:24 am

herinfernallady

fair enough. Did the hairdresser cry?

11:25 am

Nancy Boy

I can understand that...my hair used to be very long but cutting it short(er) felt fantastic.

11:25 am

helensgirlkid

More to the point, did the hairdresser pay you for it?

11:26 am

smooth_pappa

HA! actually, that's interesting... the guy who cut my hair is someone I went to high school with, and hadn't seen in about 10 years. I didn't know he was a hair cutter, but when I walked into the place, he looked at me... and just got this big ol' grin on his face

11:27 am

smooth_pappa

yeah NB... As you see in these posts, I had it long for such a long time... and it felt a little wioerd at first when I cut it, but I do really like it.

11:27 am

herinfernallady

My b.fs hair was down to his butt the hairdresser cried

11:28 am

Nancy Boy

Same - I felt very light when I got rid of mine. Now I can't stop flicking it around though. I love it but it's probably made me at least twice as annoying as I was ;)

11:28 am

smooth_pappa

hehe

11:29 am

Riverdance

if it was that long - hope you donated it

11:29 am

Nancy Boy

how long was your hair before?

11:30 am

herinfernallady

River nope. he has it in a box somewhere. My first tail is some where too

11:30 am

smooth_pappa

it fluctuated... but generally between my shoulderblades

11:30 am

Nancy Boy

aww, you should donate it, Herin! I donated mine, there was just about enough.

11:30 am

Riverdance

my daughter donates hers every 2 years - need 10 inches minimum

11:31 am

herinfernallady

nope. Mine was badly dyed. His I don't think he wanted to.

11:32 am

herinfernallady

I have my hair short at the moment as I wanted to get all natural colour. Then it started to go white

HI Barb

11:37 am

smooth_pappa

ok... buying new furniture is kind of frustrating right now. Looking for a new sofa, and for the life of me jst can't seem to find one in a stylke that I really like

11:37 am

herinfernallady

Smooth have you tried seconds stores and Ikea?

11:38 am

Judi

;-) Nancy Boy. It's my purpose in life.

11:38 am

Judi

Smoothpapa - go to www.furniturefind.com. That's where I bought my sectional set. Awesome prices.

11:38 am

smooth_pappa

yes and yes. lol Actually... I found a company that makes some designs that I really like, and are in my budget. But I would have to order online, and I'm having a really hard time convincing myself that buying a sofa without seeing it, sitting on it, feeling it is a good idea

11:38 am

herinfernallady

River on Donating hair I don't want someone to have my hair.

11:39 am

smooth_pappa

thanks Judi!

11:39 am

herinfernallady

Can you get said sofa then return if not to specs?

11:39 am

Judi

And, they have a HUGE selection. Something for every budget.

11:40 am

smooth_pappa

it looks like it! How was the quality? Did you have any issues ordering online?

11:40 am

Judi

I believe furniturefind has a no-questions-asked return policy.

11:41 am

smooth_pappa

herin... I can return it... at my cost, and freight shipping across the country is not cheap. In fact, if I did need to return it, I'd pay nearly as much just shipping it as I would have paid for it to begin with.

11:41 am

Judi

Excellent quality. Just make sure what you order is in stock. I had to wait several months for the manufacturer to make my sectional. I didn't feel too bad though. It was made in America. How rare is that?

11:41 am

herinfernallady

damn Smooth that is a pain

11:42 am

herinfernallady

Judi I have book marked that site myself

11:42 am

Judi

We love our sectional. It's super comfortable. The cats and the dog agree (little punks).

11:45 am

um... I might have just found my new sofa. lol

I also bought my kitchen dining table & chairs when we first moved to this house. Very nice stuff. Smooth - sign up with them and wait until they send you an e-mail saying "free shipping". They actually do it quite often. Huge savings.

So, are you shopping for a new sofa too?

11:52 am

11:52 am

herinfernallady

Judi not in this lifetime no

11:53 am

Nancy Boy

I don't think it's even the Burton influence; I just always found the story really nightmarish.

11:53 am

NB... I loved that one. Guess Judi and I disagree on that... but it was so visually pleasing!

11:54 am

Nancy Boy

It is gorgeous Smooth, but I feel unsettled ;)

I'm 5'4" - not tiny, but my ex was 6'6"! I felt like an elf.

12:18 pm

Judi

Very OCD, Candyman.

12:19 pm

m9f9l

nah... I didn't see him poking with each question...

12:19 pm

Nancy Boy

nah, it happens when you post and then hit enter more than once - I do it when my connection gets especially slow. Too impatient!

12:19 pm

m9f9l

a little Korean poofster elf?? this gets better all the time!

12:19 pm

Judi

I could make a joke about seeing eye to eye, but I won't.

12:20 pm

smooth_pappa

Yeah, I'm a little more than 5'4", but not quite 5'5"

12:20 pm

m9f9l

12:22 pm

Judi

Hiya, DC!

12:22 pm

Nancy Boy

You'll get to grow more then, Candyman ;) I guess I'm just one of those people who will never get a good view at gigs.

12:22 pm

dcseain

i still think of myself as short, though i'm 5 10, as i'm short for my dad's side of the family, though i'm taller than he was.

12:22 pm

m9f9l

ack..I passed the puter on my way to do laundry.....

12:22 pm

smooth_pappa

but, nb... you'll never have to worry about hitting your head on anything, either

12:23 pm

dcseain

laundry is a great chore. it mostly does itself while you do other stuff

12:23 pm

rubyfoo

gd evening everybody -- waiting impatiently for the match!!!

12:23 pm

Judi

Boys don't stop growing until they're about 24.

12:23 pm

dcseain

hi, ruby

12:24 pm

Judi

Hiya, Ruby!

12:24 pm

Nancy Boy

Sadly Smooth, I'm also reeeally clumsy, so I do find a way to smack my head on most things...even if I have to jump to do it.

12:24 pm

Judi

Mentally, most of them never grow up.

12:24 pm

dcseain

testify, judi!

12:25 pm

Judi

Maturity is spelled: S-E-X.

12:25 pm

smooth_pappa

Judi, I don't think I grew much past 17 or 18. I'm still waiting for that last growth spurt I was told would happen in college ;)

12:26 pm

Judi

Clue for Ou5 & 6, please?

12:27 pm

smooth_pappa

OU5 a synonym for "should"

12:27 pm

rubyfoo

I keep hoping for a growth spurt but I'm pretty sure it's too late! hahah

12:27 pm

dcseain

you ou5 find it yourself

12:27 pm

dcseain

then plural

12:27 pm

Judi

My nephew grew 4" after he went away to college. I swear they must spike the beer and chicken wings with extra hormones.

12:27 pm

dcseain

and ty for those, judi :)

12:27 pm

Judi

Ty, DC.

12:27 pm

Nancy Boy

Not past 17 or 18? I'm 20 soon. Damn!

12:28 pm

Judi

Huzzah. I have vanquished the vowels.

12:28 pm

rubyfoo

once your kid finishes college, are the possibilities of growth spurts over?

12:28 pm

dcseain

the vast majority of the time, yes, ruby

12:28 pm

dcseain

though girls usually stop growing sooner

12:28 pm

smooth_pappa

I suppose you could still grow a little past college, but probably not all that much. And for me, that was 8 years ago... so I'm pretty sure I'm done.

12:29 pm

Judi

Yeah, you're toast, smooth.

12:29 pm

smooth_pappa

but i carry it well, Judi. :P

12:29 pm

m9f9l

ah see? that was your prob NB!

12:29 pm

Nancy Boy

I can totally see it coming. On my twentieth birthday I'll suddenly sneeze violently and grow six inches.

12:29 pm

rubyfoo

I am very small!

12:30 pm

smooth_pappa

HA! you HAVE been watching too much Lewis Carroll, NB

12:30 pm

m9f9l

the x and the s are too far away from each other.. but the guys are phanting it anyway..right?

12:30 pm

Nancy Boy

what was my problem, M9? :)

12:31 pm

m9f9l

dc comment at 12:28

12:32 pm

Judi

I think M9 just called you a girl, NB.

12:33 pm

Nancy Boy

*aghast* I may be small but I am every inch a man!

12:33 pm

rubyfoo

today is the first hot day, lovely!

12:33 pm

rubyfoo

12:33 pm

dcseain

12:34 pm

m9f9l

12:34 pm

dcseain

12:34 pm

rubyfoo

that's horrible seain!

12:34 pm

rubyfoo

12:34 pm

Judi

Even if you are a girly-man.

12:35 pm

JBV

12:35 pm

dan2bit

12:35 pm

JBV

and to all the men who think they're short at 5'10' or so, think about what it's like to be like me, same height I was when I was 12 - 5'1'', maybe a little less with shrinkage

12:36 pm

JBV

sy 7 - sounds like a poison

12:36 pm

JBV

te 7 - tiresome

12:36 pm

rubyfoo

I used to be 5'1" but shorter now.... :(

12:36 pm

dcseain

my friend Maggie is the same height today she was when we were 9.

12:36 pm

MizHoffle

sy + vowel + not day (spelled wrong)

12:36 pm

Nancy Boy

Girly, Judi? I'm outraged.

12:36 pm

dcseain

12:37 pm

m9f9l

12:37 pm

JBV

hey, dorens, waiting to hear...

12:37 pm

dcseain

hi, doren. :) What's up? Howdy, dan

12:37 pm

Dorens

a surprise retirement in my school district is freeing up some $$$ which will definitely make it more likely that I will get my job back

12:37 pm

Nancy Boy

yeah, but a manly hissy, with beer and facial hair and stuff.

12:37 pm

dan2bit

hi dcs & dorens. yay!

12:37 pm

MizHoffle

my brother stopped growing, went into the air force and grew another 5 inches

12:37 pm

Judi

Need clue for Ye4 and following ye5. A2Z won't load for some reason.

12:38 pm

rubyfoo

that's very good news, dorens!

12:38 pm

Dorens

so, not definite yet, but definitely more likely. will keep you posted

12:38 pm

dcseain

oh, good news, doren!

12:38 pm

m9f9l

oh.. right nb.

12:38 pm

MizHoffle

I stopped at 5'5", but my feet didn't get the message

12:38 pm

JBV

oh, that is great news, doren - you must be so relieved

12:38 pm

Judi

That's really good news, Dorens. Fingers and toes crossed for you!

12:38 pm

m9f9l

abomanable!

12:38 pm

Dorens

how about you, dc... any prospects now?

12:38 pm

JBV

I think the same thing will happen in my district but it hasn't been announced yet, people are really suffering

12:38 pm

m9f9l

that's great doren!

12:38 pm

Dorens

(yes jbv... immensely relieved)

12:38 pm

dcseain

judi, after which ye5?

12:38 pm

MizHoffle

good luck to all!

12:39 pm

Judi

Nm. Found the stupid ys.

12:39 pm

rubyfoo

hahah, miz!

12:39 pm

Dorens

the person who makes more money than anyone other than principals retired at the end of the last school day... no idea why he wanted to keep it a secret like that, but he did.

12:39 pm

rubyfoo

at least nobody can knock you over!

12:39 pm

JBV

will you be able to return to your same job or to another school?

12:39 pm

m9f9l

you mean the abominable ye's??

12:40 pm

rubyfoo

or the busybody spelled wrong?

12:40 pm

MizHoffle

actually they can because they are really narrow...I am so uncoordinated!

12:40 pm

Judi

Yes. Got them, M9.

12:40 pm

JBV

and there may be more retirements, coming, doren, I've seen two more people this week decide to retire as of Sept. 1

12:40 pm

MizHoffle

although I would rather have narrow feet than wide

12:40 pm

m9f9l

one to go

12:40 pm

Dorens

they abolished the position at both schools... so I will have to take over the other position... travel, and deal with 1000 kids instead of 450. but still better than nothing

12:40 pm

Judi

With any luck, JBV, you could be doing more than one job (but probably for only one salary).

12:41 pm

JBV

yes, it's unfortunate but true, doren, the workload will increase for everyone next year

12:41 pm

m9f9l

fireworks

12:41 pm

Dorens

our district is very small (just the two schools) so i'm not sure that there will be too many more... there were two last week, and that is probably it.

12:41 pm

Dorens

yay mf

12:41 pm

dcseain

congrats, m9

12:41 pm

JBV

and Judi, my luck is that I am retiring (last day is June 29!) so I will be doing a lot less than one job next year

12:41 pm

m9f9l

and now...laundry!

12:41 pm

m9f9l

*poof*

12:42 pm

rubyfoo

yay, m9

12:42 pm

Dorens

didn't realize you were still in school jbv, our last day was wednesday and it seems all other schools closed before us.

12:42 pm

rubyfoo

more time for babble, jbv!

12:42 pm

Dorens

and learning mandarin... are you continuing with that?

12:42 pm

JBV

last day for teachers was Fri (6/25) but i'm a 12-monther

12:42 pm

dcseain

schools around here closed last week for the Summer

12:42 pm

Dorens

oh yes, "administration".. i forgot

12:42 pm

JBV

more time for everything, ruby - can't wait!

12:43 pm

Judi

Are you going to do any subbing, JBV?

12:43 pm

JBV

No Chinese classes during the summer, but I will sign up again in the fall, now maybe I can catch up on all the homework I did not do this year :)

12:43 pm

rubyfoo

you can be like me, start 50 projects and play babble instead hahah ruefully!

12:43 pm

Dorens

i have four more years now... in the process of buying back time... who knows what christie will do to the system... probably won't be any more by the time i go

12:44 pm

JBV

buying back time is costly but worth it -

12:44 pm

rubyfoo

12:44 pm

72 Temple Owl

Dorens

i just wish i knew that they changed rules BEFORE november 08... the years I taught in Phila won't count towards health benefits since i didn't buy them back before then. my wonderful union didn't warn us of that

12:45 pm

Dorens

hey owl. yes, potentially great news... just waiting for contract

12:45 pm

JBV

No subbing, Judi - I plan to relax a lot, then do the projects that ruby alluded to, then maybe think about some part-time work, consulting, etc.

12:46 pm

rubyfoo

ty seain!

12:46 pm

jmcnrick

contract?

12:46 pm

JBV

I didn't know that either, doren, I bought back time from NYC, but it was purchased in 2001

12:46 pm

rubyfoo

maybe you can finish my projects, jbv....

12:46 pm

Dorens

smart lady!

12:46 pm

rubyfoo

hi jmc

12:46 pm

Dorens

contract to work again next year, jmc -- it's looking likely, but I won't really celebrate till it's done

12:47 pm

JBV

well, if a trip to france is included, ruby, why not?? we can procrastinate together while playing babble

12:47 pm

rubyfoo

or scrabble!

12:48 pm

JBV

Mais oui!

12:48 pm

Vendetta's always making fi5! :)

12:48 pm

Dorens

my son told me he's going to paris in december for a conference, and wants to take Phoebe, and could use me to come as a nanny. THis was meant to sweeten my "retirement".. but i think i'll do it anyway.. take a few personal days or something

12:51 pm

2:06 pm

jmcnrick

<====much worse culprit

2:07 pm

lbdawger

uhm, why did you put your foot on the keyboard?

2:07 pm

KatieMcG

or with me when Rubarb or crumble walk over the keyboard and join the chat

2:07 pm

LeslieAnn

maybe she was really frustrated with the puzzle

2:08 pm

jmcnrick

i had set my laptop on the floor while i watched a tv show and did not realize my foot was on a key

2:08 pm

LeslieAnn

hahaha

2:08 pm

jmcnrick

then there was the time I put my entire list into the chog

2:08 pm

KatieMcG

2:09 pm

lbdawger

hiya, Haz!

2:09 pm

KatieMcG

hello Haz

2:09 pm

Haz1558

Hello!

2:10 pm

Haz1558

I'm just looking in to see if all's well.

2:10 pm

KatieMcG

seems to be

2:10 pm

lbdawger

pretty quiet in here today.

2:11 pm

Haz1558

Nobody trying to type with their feet like FM, nobody posting entire lists. It's a quiet dayin babbleland for sure.

2:11 pm

KatieMcG

i'm just back from the beach so plodding along putting words in slowly

2:12 pm

Haz1558

But you did use sun tan lotion, didn't you?

2:13 pm

KatieMcG

of course, factor 20, it was roasting but most people seemed to be being sensible with suntan cream

2:13 pm

KatieMcG

Crossy told me off last year and I wear it all the time now

2:13 pm

Haz1558

That's good to hear. Was the beach crowded with men with hankies on their head?

2:14 pm

lbdawger

lol, what an image!

2:14 pm

KatieMcG

no but many gu** hanging over too tight jeans and tatoos (both men and women)

2:14 pm

KatieMcG

I don't think I have ever sat on a deckchair on a british beach as an adult

2:14 pm

Haz1558

It's the archetypal image of British men - tie a hanky at four corners- voila, instant sun hat.

2:15 pm

lbdawger

argh, that's an image i don't want in my head...going back to think about hankies

2:15 pm

Haz1558

But don't ask them to take off their socks. Not with those feet.

2:15 pm

lbdawger

foot rot?

2:16 pm

lbdawger

extra toes?

2:16 pm

Haz1558

No, they've just been encased in shoes for the whole year, some British men don't ever see their feet and think that sandals are a foreign plot.

2:16 pm

lbdawger

ahhh, i know some americans like that too

2:16 pm

KatieMcG

we went to Weston super Mare, some girls came back from the sea (which was about a mile out by this time) and I thought th** had boots on, it was only when th** got closer I realised to my horror that th** were covered in mud.

2:17 pm

KatieMcG

When we were in the Maldives an asian man wore socks and sandles all the time. He even wore normal socks with his fins when snorkling, we found it facinating

2:17 pm

lbdawger

hopefully, the mud washes off

2:19 pm

KatieMcG

hmmmm one thing with the beaches was that there were no showers

2:19 pm

pwinn

My kids and I tend to go to TKD class with no shoes on, so when we stop off for sodas or slushes later, we walk through corner stores barefoot. Technically illegal, but nobody's called us on it yet.

2:19 pm

shooshoo

yahooo fireworks

2:23 pm

Haz1558

Oh, that's good, how long did you get away for?

2:23 pm

KatieMcG

2:32 pm

Candyman

hideous phanton hideous

2:32 pm

KatieMcG

2:32 pm

Haz1558

Ah! That explains things. I love the picture of Poppy and Buster, but then I'm hopelessly biased about spaniels.

2:32 pm

rururocks

elephants need prozac?

2:33 pm

Haz1558

Probably. But really big doses.

2:33 pm

Candyman

*phantom*

2:33 pm

rururocks

do they get them at trunk sales?

2:33 pm

KatieMcG

Poppy was looking at an art elephant for her birthday, however if the elephant is feeling down they may need a course of it

2:33 pm

KatieMcG

ruru that is awful

2:34 pm

Poppy4

HI everyone. I dropped DH off at the grocery store (he's on a scooter and shopping) exactly 20 minutes ago and he just called to say he lost the list! He used to go shopping for 2 hours at a time; so I thought I'd have some Scrabble time all alone. No such luck

6:27 pm

Nef

WTG, car.ee! YAY!!!!

6:28 pm

Oh no Nef! Tell him to wingit!

Nef

I have to go help him; I told him I'm watching a TV show and would leave at half past. I love the man dearly, but this 24 hour care is starting to wear me out. And that's *my* complaint for the day. How is everyone else?

6:33 pm

Nef

okay; off I go now. BBL (I hope!)

8:54 pm

shorty

hi cross i dont think n e 1 is here

8:55 pm

lbdawger

which one did you get, crossy?

8:55 pm

crosshair

do not worry about talking to yourself as you will never be lonely

8:55 pm

shorty

lol

8:55 pm

crosshair

i had my brother grab me the barnes and noble nook reader while he was going through the states

8:55 pm

lbdawger

hi shorty! i've been popping in and out

8:55 pm

shorty

do u have the te7?

8:56 pm

shorty

hi lbd

8:56 pm

lbdawger

the te7, is very te7 to find, it makes the grid seem quite te7.

8:56 pm

crosshair

ty ibd

8:57 pm

lbdawger

one ne4s to be quite tenacious to find such a te7 word.

8:58 pm

shorty

thank you lbdawger fireworks

8:58 pm

crosshair

they are having a sale on the nooks ibd,159 dollars us

8:58 pm

lbdawger

whoooo hoooooo shorty!

8:58 pm

crosshair

good time to get in the game

8:59 pm

lbdawger

borders kobo reader is 149

8:59 pm

lbdawger

and i think i saw a sony reader for 129

8:59 pm

crosshair

brother says the kobos are a cheap flimsy build

8:59 pm

shorty

thanks lbd

8:59 pm

crosshair

i wanted the full 6 inch screen

8:59 pm

lbdawger

hope i wasn't being to te7 with that clue, shorty

9:00 pm

crosshair

so it was a choice tween the nook and the top end sony

9:00 pm

lbdawger

you'll have to tell me how you like it, crossy. does it have a back light?

9:00 pm

shorty

no no it wasa very good clue

9:00 pm

crosshair

kindle is out of the race

9:01 pm

crosshair

no,all e-bkk readers now only offer the light in the optional storage case

9:01 pm

lbdawger

i think kindle will be revamping to keep up with the competition

9:01 pm

crosshair

my wifes sony 700 was the only one to offer built in lighting

9:02 pm

lbdawger

i guess sony decided it was causing too much glare, that's why they discontinued the backlight

9:02 pm

lbdawger

brb

9:02 pm

crosshair

indeed,but the wife loves it

9:02 pm

crosshair

so it was only a 3 month run on the 700

9:03 pm

yogo1

hi

9:03 pm

crosshair

the 3 screens on the 700 did indeed cause some glare issues but they overplayed it a bit

9:03 pm

crosshair

howdy yogo

9:04 pm

crosshair

it is not that bad

9:04 pm

yogo1

brb

9:04 pm

crosshair

but now because of the limited release,they are quite rare

9:04 pm

yogo1

:)

9:05 pm

crosshair

with tax and everything in for the 700 model it ended up costing me 459 dollars!!!

9:07 pm

crosshair

so to finish my blabbering,i recommend either the sony with the 6 inch touch screen or the b+n nook

9:09 pm

crosshair

the nook being a pain because it has to be bought in the states only,they do not like to share;(

9:10 pm

lbdawger

oh, too bad about not being able to get it in canada

9:10 pm

yogo1

so whats happening

9:11 pm

Trifioso

9:12 pm

Trifioso

btw, I was DESPERATE to chat with you earlier this week - was having all sorts of house-maintenance issues....got most of them sorted though, but it wasn't the same....

9:12 pm

crosshair

ty trif,it is an amazing device!!!

9:12 pm

yogo1

like what red

9:13 pm

crosshair

im sorry i was not here for you trif;((

9:13 pm

lbdawger

when they get voice activation, i think they'll sell really well.

9:13 pm

Trifioso

LOL crossy, no worries! I was just funny when I realized how accustomed I had become to running any house stuff by you....

9:13 pm

crosshair

9:14 pm

pwinn

I'm puzzled on ti6

9:14 pm

pwinn

It's between two words that don't seem like they should have a word between them.

9:14 pm

Trifioso

wicked good, lbd! "our cyber handyman...." LOVE that!

9:14 pm

crosshair

do not need voice activation ibd,with a single tap of the screen it goes from the screen saver,fires up and finds the last page you were at and go to your favorite font style and size

9:15 pm

redturtlehead

you can read, or play a board game, or write a letter to you grandparents or aunties, play with someones pet, help your parents with laundry or dishes....write a poem, go for a jog, go for a swim...take up a new hobby like knitting or painting....listen to some new kind of music that you have not heard before...go hiking,

9:16 pm

crosshair

indeed!! i have not been bored since 1994!!

9:16 pm

redturtlehead

9:17 pm

9:17 pm

redturtlehead

I keep wanting to enter dentist.

9:17 pm

redturtlehead

Yes, well yogo, in life we have to do things we do not like.

9:18 pm

Trifioso

man oh man....my friend kept saying how much she liked the "hoarders" program on TLC, so it's on in the background whilst I am babbling....geez louise, this show is REALLY depressing!

9:18 pm

crosshair

my kid is learning as we speak that he is not going to just lay around the house all summer

9:18 pm

yogo1

yeh i guess....

9:18 pm

redturtlehead

I could not watch that Trif... I am unfortunately now a big fan of the deadliest catch...crab fishing...

9:18 pm

pwinn

Everytime my wife and I watch that show, we have to watch something else after, to cheer us up.

9:19 pm

Trifioso

these poor people! does make me feel better about my house, though....

9:19 pm

11:02 pm

Jacula

Why would I want to do that, FM? 4 years courting, 18 years married and then POW! me - single parent. The 70s clothes and haircuts might be quite amusing, though.

11:02 pm

stidmama

glad you're doing okay jes -- we FINALLY have some sunshine on this side of the mountains.

11:02 pm

evanonut

11:03 pm

FMitch

Oh didn't know that Jac, sorry :(

11:03 pm

FMitch

But I bet the 70's look would be a blast.

11:03 pm

evanonut

*takes mug hoping it doesn't all come flying out the other end in a few*

11:03 pm

stidmama

I should probably get something to eat. it's 9 pm here (had late lunch at around 4).

11:03 pm

Nef

11:05 pm

Jacula

FM - Beloved has been my toyboy for 7 years now, so you have no reason to know about the past. Don't think a wedding is in the offing though, much to the disgust of Beloved's Auntie Ida.

11:05 pm

Barb's Horses

Jillyjill

Hello babblers!

11:06 pm

stidmama

hey Jilly! how are you this fine evening?

11:07 pm

Jacula

FM - anyway, Beloved still isn't divorced yet, since his ex neither reads nor signs papers sent to her. I'm not sure what her problem is, since she cast him aside before we got goether.

11:07 pm

Jellen

Hi, Jilly

11:07 pm

Nef

Hi Jilly

11:07 pm

jesdraggon

heh. yeah, jac, bf and i will probably not marry soon. his folks just sigh and are sad that we're going to hell when we die, but at least they like me ;)

11:09 pm

Jacula

Hell might not be such a bad place, once I've got over these bloody hot flushes. It's warm and mosst of my friends will be there.;-)

11:09 pm

stidmama

11:09 pm

FMitch

11:09 pm

stidmama

11:10 pm

Jacula

Back in a mo! Just heard cat asking to be let in.

11:10 pm

Jellen

lol, Jac...

11:10 pm

Jillyjill

I am really going to enjoy sleeping in my bed tonight.

11:11 pm

Nef

I had a client this past week in for a pregnancy test and also intake into our prenatal program. Her BF was with her and he said that" they were getting married soon;" and she said to me that they "would do things in the right order and not rush it." Afterwards, I told another person this and I said "when did the order change?"

11:11 pm

FMitch

My Mum is very tolerant but I don't think she will ever get over the fact that I have not given her grandchildren.

11:11 pm

Jellen

Too true, nef!

11:11 pm

Barb's Horses

could I please have a clue for in7/64?

11:11 pm

Jillyjill

rofl! I sang at three weddings two years ago and all the brides were 'with child'. Heavens...oh well.

11:12 pm

jesdraggon

nef--when being a single mom stopped meaning being disowned and cast out

11:12 pm

FMitch

in + mended

11:12 pm

Barb's Horses

thanks fm

11:12 pm

Jacula

Nef - kids before marriage? LOL.

11:12 pm

Nef

I always told my kids "First finish school, then marriage, then kids" But now it seems to be the exact opposite

11:13 pm

FMitch

Nothing seems to run in the right order these days.

11:13 pm

jesdraggon

i've got the first step done!

11:13 pm

Jacula

Jillyjill - pregnant brides. Oh! *sigh*

11:13 pm

yogo1

11:13 pm

jesdraggon

11:13 pm

Jillyjill

in white non-the-less....

11:14 pm

Jellen

Bye, jes

11:14 pm

Jacula

In white? Now that's just taking the p*ss!

11:14 pm

Nef

jes, I have another gal, 19y/o, who was kicked out of her home and disowned for being pregnant

11:14 pm

stidmama

what worries me is that for us, and for many others like us, our choice was to wait until we were financially stable and start a family in our 40s... or have kids and be poor for a couple decades while careers caught up to paying living wage.

11:14 pm

stidmama

see you later jes

11:14 pm

stidmama

we chose to have kids when younger.

11:15 pm

jesdraggon

i'm just choosing not to have them... i've got bf's kid, he's 13. i rather like not having had to be pregnant

11:16 pm

jesdraggon

i mean, i'm glad other people (who want to be mothers) have kids, but i've never wanted it.

11:16 pm

stidmama

AND you have all those critters that need nurturing! one doesn't need to have loads of children to have a full, interesting life.

11:16 pm

Jacula

I chose to have my children before I was 30. Had my first child just after my 27th birthday and my second just before my 30th.

11:16 pm

FMitch

same here jes

11:16 pm

Jillyjill

Now I'm glad I had kids early, too young and dumb, but they survived. But empty nesters by 45! And now have the $$ to enjoy it!

11:17 pm

FMitch

Going to take a break for a while and get brakfast, back for the flip.

11:17 pm

Jacula

Then, when I was 52 and 'done with all that' I got a 14-year-old stepdaughter. full-time.

11:17 pm

stidmama

we won't be empty nesters by then... but soon enough. And hopefullly enough years between that and grandkids that we will be in the right financial state to help them out.

11:17 pm

stidmama

later FM

11:17 pm

stidmama

I am going to head out too -- my eyes are having trouble seeing the chog

11:17 pm

Jacula

See you next grid FM. x

11:18 pm

Jillyjill

11:18 pm
