12:18 am

jillibus

m9, or anyone else, if you find sprite online or in the rankings, put her in your My Friends. She lists all the icon themes. I try to keep up but I don't list them -- maybe I should copy sprite's list for those who are not here when she is. Anyway, please put me in your My Friends and you will be able to see what the day's theme is.

12:19 am

jillibus

Thanks, flosey -- yours too!

thanks Samantha

12:53 am

SamanthaJoy

Sure. I'm one word away from NBT and the frustration is spurring me on to new and greater heights.

12:54 am

Douglas

Are you missing the Bronte governess?

12:55 am

SamanthaJoy

Nope. It's the single E in the fourth column that's killing me, and the Bronte governess comes from the lower E i nthe fifth column

12:56 am

Douglas

The Beatles' lovely meter maid is in the grid

12:57 am

Douglas

You must have been submerged when I talked about the northeast hermit

12:57 am

jillibus

the 4th column

12:57 am

jillibus

is a bugger

12:57 am

dizgrannie

sam, er 7

12:57 am

jillibus

ah, ty doug

12:58 am

SamanthaJoy

hmm. jilli, was that a commentary or a clue? Should I be looking for a synonym of "sodomite"?

12:58 am

jillibus

and I see oreo is here again :-/

12:59 am

jillibus

nonono, sam!

12:59 am

jillibus

just a commentary!

12:59 am

m9f9l

northeast hermit?

1:00 am

SamanthaJoy

Got it! Thanks, everyone, for all your help.

1:00 am

Douglas

Indeed, there's a hermit living in the northeast part of the grid

1:01 am

jillibus

now I'm baffled by that bottom A in the 4th column (very dense tonight)

1:01 am

Douglas

In fact it's rather amusing that the hermit starts at a tile with only one word. She really is all alone!

1:02 am

SamanthaJoy

AT 5, ends with a Latin plural, jill

1:02 am

m9f9l

well I've got both the one word tiles.

1:02 am

SamanthaJoy

Douglas, you're right, that's amusing.

1:02 am

SamanthaJoy

There are three one word tiles, m9, sorry

1:03 am

m9f9l

oh yes.. I have them all. only two in the northeast

1:03 am

jillibus

ty sam -- nbt at last

1:04 am

SamanthaJoy

I'm well over halfway, dead exhausted, and NBT--off to bed. Night all.

1:04 am

jillibus

1:04 am

m9f9l

1:51 am

Douglas

1:52 am

rururocks

1:52 am

jillibus

You lot should all go to bed! As for me, must venture outside in the freezing cold to do some chores... sleep well, everyone.

1:54 am

Jellen

Bye dofith

1:55 am

Jellen

Hi, ruby

1:55 am

jillibus

brrr, dofith!

1:55 am

dofith

'bye jellen - send me some sunshine so my washing will dry.

1:56 am

Jellen

I'd love to, dofith!

1:56 am

jillibus

hi ruby

1:56 am

rururocks

ohantom: eateries

1:57 am

dofith

Yes, jilli - but better than heat, in my opinion. Anyway, must away..xx

1:57 am

rubyfoo

hi jilli

1:57 am

rubyfoo

hello douglas

1:57 am

Jellen

I must try to settle down for the night...with my flea-bittn cats...sigh!

1:57 am

jillibus

bye dofith!

1:57 am

Jellen

*bitten

1:57 am

rubyfoo

hello jellen, how are you and Time doing?

1:57 am

rubyfoo

Tim*

1:58 am

rururocks

me too.. conking out.. head hurts...nite all

1:58 am

jillibus

night ruru -- feel better!

1:58 am

Jellen

Tim's doing okay, given he stays on top of his pain meds...

1:59 am

rubyfoo

so you have to be Nurse Ratchit (or are you too young to know the name?)

1:59 am

jillibus

Oh dear -- Tim needs pain meds!

2:00 am

Jellen

Will have to recheck the reference...One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest?

2:01 am

Jellen

Yes, jilli...tumor in his neck is putting pressure on his spine, apparently...

2:02 am

jillibus

Oh, Jellen, that's too bad! Has any treatment been decided on yet?

2:02 am

rubyfoo

I feel like that all the time with DH; he keeps losing weight, out of vanity, I think. Weighs less now than he did when he got out of the army in '45!

2:03 am

rubyfoo

men are very difficult to manage!! I keep saying "I'm not your mother, but...."

2:03 am

Jellen

Not yet...we're being sent back to Springfield to the oncologist...

2:04 am

jillibus

rube, better he lose weight than get grossly obese like so many guys

2:04 am

rubyfoo

your situation must be terrible, jellen! I can really empathize....

2:04 am

jillibus

When, Jellen?

2:04 am

Jellen

Thursday

2:04 am

rubyfoo

no, but he's been up and down many times, which is worse, and 145-50 was a great weight, not 134!

2:05 am

rubyfoo

and he develops plaque in his arteries no matter what

2:05 am

jillibus

Fingers and toes crossed that the pain can be relieved and the tumour killed!

2:05 am

Jellen

I hope the tumor in his neck can be removed surgically...

2:05 am

jillibus

oh my, ruby -- how tall is he?

2:06 am

rubyfoo

about 5'9", definitely too thin!

2:06 am

jillibus

Jellen, I had a cousin who has surgery done with a gamma knife -- not intrusive.

2:07 am

rubyfoo

he loves when people compliment him on his weight!

2:07 am

jillibus

Oh yes -- that's a bit on the skinny side for a man of that height.

2:07 am

rubyfoo

happily, jellen, many of us on here are cancer survivors and we're all rooting for you and are here to support both of you!

2:08 am

jillibus

ruby's right, jellen -- I'm one of them.

2:08 am

rubyfoo

and crossy

2:08 am

Jellen

Thanks to both of you...

2:08 am

jillibus

and others unnamed...

2:08 am

Jellen

Crossy's been great...

2:08 am

rubyfoo

care is much better now than when I was young and it is not a taboo subject any more

2:09 am

rubyfoo

the other night, not including crossy, I think there were 4 of us on at the same time!

2:09 am

jillibus

I met someone the other day who was a melanoma survivor, hale and hearty.

2:11 am

Jellen

That's good to know, jilli...

2:11 am

jillibus

Ruby, that's so true, and when I was a kid people used to whisper about diabetes too. Not any more, thank goodness!

2:11 am

rubyfoo

and breast cancer was a death sentence. Not any more!!!

2:12 am

rubyfoo

(as usual, first 50 words are easy!)

2:12 am

Jellen

I must go now and try to get some sleep...

2:13 am

jillibus

Remember the jerks who divorced their wives because they could bear a woman who had had a mastectomy?

2:13 am

rubyfoo

if the anxiety gets to be too much and you can't sleep, ask your (or Tim's) MD for a prescription for Xanax. It works for me and is very mild and has no side effects

2:13 am

jillibus

*couldn't bear, I men

2:13 am

rubyfoo

my husband married me AFTER I had had surgery!

2:13 am

Jellen

If anything, I sleep too much, ruby! Just at the wrong hours...

2:13 am

jillibus

good for him (and you!)

2:14 am

rubyfoo

that's another way of handling anxiety....

2:14 am

jillibus

ruby's advice sounds good, jellen, and might help you sleep at the right hours!

2:14 am

Jellen

Very true, ruby...it drives Tim nuts...

2:15 am

jillibus

How is he handling things?

2:15 am

rubyfoo

I take mine at 11:30, fall asleep around 12 and sleep until 8AM. If I didn't get those 8 hrs, I'd be a wreck.

2:15 am

rubyfoo

actually, I'm a wreck anyway, but not for lack of sleep lol lol

2:16 am

jillibus

lol, ruby!

2:16 am

Andree

hi everyone

2:16 am

jillibus

hi andree

2:16 am

Jellen

We haven't really had the big picture discussions, jilli...when he's in pain, he just wants everything to be over...

2:16 am

Jellen

Hi, Andree

2:16 am

rubyfoo

hello andree, nice to see you!

2:17 am

rubyfoo

2:18 am

rubyfoo

2:18 am

rubyfoo

what pain meds are they giving him?

2:18 am

jillibus

nm, ruby -- had it. And I must go to bed -- 73 left but very little time tomorrow.

2:19 am

jillibus

Goodnight all.....*poof*

2:19 am

Jellen

They upset his stomach, but they do relieve the pain..he just takes naproxen and vicodin now...

2:19 am

Haz1558

Hello, Sally - still warm with you?

2:24 am

2:25 am

Haz1558

Oh Andree! How could you forsake us?

2:25 am

Sally-catlover

Much cooler so far today, but still early. Having a day off today since have been doing major physical things outside in all the heat.

2:25 am

Sally-catlover

Hi Andree - I can play Babble on my iPhone through Safari!

2:26 am

Haz1558

Enjoy the rest, Sally. Looks like you may be needed to counsel poor, foolish Andree. Show her the right use of an i-phone.

2:26 am

rubyfoo

I garden until I can't see for the sweat pouring into my eyes

2:26 am

Andree

me too sally but solitaire is easier in minature

2:27 am

Sally-catlover

lol ruby, I have a sweat band otherwise I can't see through my glasses. I may look stupid but who would know?

2:28 am

Andree

i tried a friends new i pad , now thats the way to play babble, am wanting one

2:28 am

Douglas

Made it to mnbt2, but got stuck trying to reach mnbt3. Good night all!

2:28 am

Sally-catlover

Yes I want one too. My son has one and I'm longing to visit to see it - oh, and my grandson of course!

2:28 am

Haz1558

I'm not usually attracted to technology, but the adverts for i-pads do make them look appealing.

2:28 am

rubyfoo

that's a good idea, sally; I look stupid anyway lol

2:28 am

Haz1558

Goodnight, Douglas, sleep well.

2:28 am

sandrafrances

good morning all. how many worsd today please

2:29 am

rubyfoo

186, sandra

2:29 am

rubyfoo

gn douglas

2:29 am

Sally-catlover

186

2:29 am

Haz1558

186 and good morning.

2:29 am

sandrafrances

thanks rubyfoo

2:29 am

sandrafrances

and also haz

2:29 am

Sally-catlover

It really does help ruby. I also wear it for major housework on a very hot day - stops the sweat dripping onto my clean floor!

2:30 am

Haz1558

You're welcome - have you just started or are you midway through?

2:30 am

rubyfoo

it's funny because my husband barely sweats; he looks at me like I'm strange!

2:30 am

Haz1558

I've never seen anybody sweat like Andy Roddick, the tennis player. His baseball cap is soaked, sweat drips off the front, and yet still he runs on.

2:31 am

Sally-catlover

Perhaps you expend more energy.

2:31 am

rubyfoo

I am almost always hot

2:31 am

Andree

i am not either haz and got the i phone on a whim but love it and as i was going to get a new laptop which i no longer need as i have moved the office home i think i will spend the money i intended for that on an i pad

2:31 am

rubyfoo

my dad was the same way

2:32 am

Haz1558

Do let us know if and when you get the i-pad so that we can share in the experience. They look so attractive but I can't imagine that I would ever be able to use it to its full potential.

2:32 am

rubyfoo

I had better get dressed now, see you later -- 71 words!

2:33 am

Andree

i don't sweat either, its odd, i walk sometimes with a friend and the sweat drips off her

2:33 am

Sally-catlover

I already have two iMacs, husband and I both have iPhones, so I can feel this step is not too far!

2:33 am

Haz1558

See you later,ruby.

2:33 am

rubyfoo

tore

2:33 am

rubyfoo

whoops again! leaving. But it's much more ladylike not sweating; you are lucky andree

2:33 am

Haz1558

Sally, you're much more into technology than I'd have imagined!

2:34 am

rubyfoo

sally is brilliant!

2:34 am

Sally-catlover

Really? I'm very deeply into technology. Absolutely love gadgets and finding out how things work. Son is the same.

2:35 am

Haz1558

Maybe it's because I associate you with the garden.

2:36 am

Sally-catlover

And I associate you with cooking delicious meals every day!

2:36 am

Andree

I have part ownership of a mac, daughters boyfriend gave it to our house at christmas, never used it but it would not take much for daughter to show me, without her i would not even contemplate an i phone

2:36 am

Haz1558

I don't know about every day! I make a special effort on Sundays, that's for sure.

2:37 am

Sally-catlover

Once you get used to a Mac, you would never go back to a PC I think.

2:37 am

Haz1558

I suppose we all build up mental images of what babblers busy themselves doing when they're not sitting at the computer.

2:38 am

Sally-catlover

Yes that's true. For all you know I might be a quantum physicist, or even someone really famous incognito (!!)

2:39 am

Andree

or a serial killer

2:39 am

Sally-catlover

I suppose what we all have in common is the love of words.

2:39 am

Andree

thats the thing about the internet, who knows

2:39 am

Sally-catlover

lol Andree. You guessed. I suppose even serial killers might like to play Babble.

2:40 am

Haz1558

I'm now debating what methods a quantum physicist might use to be a serial killer.

2:40 am

Andree

hopefully from their cells

2:40 am

Sally-catlover

Very clever ones Haz.

2:40 am

Sally-catlover

Are they allowed internet access in their cells I wonder?

2:41 am

Haz1558

I know. But maybe working out all those physics problems might leave them with not enough time to carry out their schemes.

2:42 am

Haz1558

I don't know about the internet access in prison. I imagine they wouldn't have access in their cells, but under supervision, probably.

2:42 am

Sally-catlover

I was never very good at physics at school, so I am floundering here.

2:42 am

Haz1558

I wasn't even good enough to take physics.

2:43 am

Sally-catlover

Visiting a prison (or being a resident!) is one of those life experiences that has passed me by.

2:43 am

Sally-catlover

That's all right then Haz, we can bluff each other.

2:43 am

Andree

they seem to be allowed most home comforts, its weird

2:45 am

Haz1558

Any prisoners out there? What's it really like?

2:46 am

Andree

lol haz

2:46 am

Sally-catlover

Do you think they would admit to it, Ambassador?

2:46 am

Haz1558

We'll know if 'Fingers Dave' or 'Al Capone' responds.

2:47 am

Sally-catlover

lol Haz

2:48 am

Haz1558

Looks like we're prisoner free, or else they're sewing mailbags.

2:49 am

Sally-catlover

perhaps it's ruby. That's why she has to leave at regular intervals. Not really mixing aperitifs at all.

2:50 am

Haz1558

Perhaps she's the warder and her husband's the prisoner. Gulp.

2:50 am

Sally-catlover

Thought it was the other way round :-) Unless she's really Rosa Klebb in disguise.

2:51 am

Haz1558

Ruby and Max are the prison dogs, patrolling the property.

2:51 am

Andree

perhaps i haven't been around for few weeks because i have been in solitary

2:52 am

Haz1558

That's true, Andree. Maybe you've been spending your time throwing a ball against the wall like in 'The Great Escape'

2:52 am

Sally-catlover

lol Haz. And the Heron is the code name for either a master criminal or the governor of the prison.

2:52 am

Andree

and the pond is really a moat

2:53 am

Haz1558

I like the idea of The Heron being the governor, striking fear and loathing in the heart of prisoner and warder alike.

2:53 am

Sally-catlover

With a drawbridge?

2:53 am

Sally-catlover

We must make sure ruby reads back in the chog, unless she is really secretly monitoring us.

2:54 am

Haz1558

I think she usually does read back.

2:55 am

Sally-catlover

Only joking ruby, honest! Exit screaming to sound of chains dragging on the dungeon floor.

2:56 am

Haz1558

They made me do it, ruby! They trapped me! I AM INNOCENT!

2:56 am

Haz1558

Of course, Andree has nothing to fear since she may already be in prison.

2:57 am

Sally-catlover

Must get coffee. There will now be a small intermission.

2:57 am

Haz1558

(It's roll-call, I can see through things)

2:58 am

Andree

and everyone here claims they are innocent haz so that won't save you

2:59 am

Haz1558

I know. Maybe ruby is a forgiving woman.

3:00 am

Haz1558

Must take a break as well, back shortly. Don't go anywhere, Andree. Oh, that's right, you can't...

3:01 am

Haz1558

(taking ten..)

3:01 am

Sally-catlover

Back.

3:01 am

Andree

later haz

3:01 am

Andree

How you

3:34 am

Sally-catlover

I'm good. Having a quiet day today.

3:36 am

herinfernallady

I just dissected 2kilo ofchicken.

3:37 am

Sally-catlover

*checks chicken enclosure anxiously*

3:38 am

herinfernallady

No it was from the butchers your chicks are fine

3:39 am

Sally-catlover

:-) What are you cooking?

3:39 am

herinfernallady

I went to the butchers and the 2k bird was $15 but because the back (not the meaty bit) was broken

3:42 am

Sally-catlover

Good bargain then?

3:42 am

Sally-catlover

That's a big bird.

3:43 am

herinfernallady

It was $6 so I tossed the broken bit in the stock pot, the two legs into the oven and then the breast is tidied up for tommorrow

3:45 am

herinfernallady

I grabbed a very limp and dead like leek from the fridge and the rosemary from the yard and am making a stock

3:46 am

Sally-catlover

Sounds good herin.

3:46 am

herinfernallady

Have to be creative at this time of week

3:46 am

Sally-catlover

We're eating out in the pub tonight. Usually do on Wednesdays.

3:47 am

No excuses now, then.

Hello again. My ten minutes away stretched somewhat.

5:18 am

Kazzer99

hi haz

5:18 am

Sally-catlover

Hi Haz. Sorry, was deep in the T words

5:18 am

Haz1558

Hello! I'm hoping fresh eyes will accomplish much.

5:20 am

Sally-catlover

You would think so :-( Still have 9 to find.

5:21 am

Haz1558

It's amazing what you miss, isn't it?

5:24 am

Sally-catlover

Yes! She says with feeling, just having slapped herself with a fish.

5:24 am

KatieMcG

Kazz on my phone, not easy but possible!

5:24 am

Sally-catlover

Playing on your iPhone? Have done that.

5:25 am

Kazzer99

oooh might have a go - i thought it might be tricky getting things in the right boxes

5:26 am

Sally-catlover

No, quite easy as soon as you touch Add Word the keyboard comes up. Hammers the battery, though.

5:27 am

KatieMcG

Back to work will be back @ lunchtime

5:27 am

Haz1558

Bye, Katie.

kje

re7/48?

5:29 am

Sally-catlover

Kind of engine, kje

5:30 am

Haz1558

Ends in the type of engine that Elton's Benny might have used. That dates me, doesn't it?

5:31 am

kje

thanks, FW!

5:33 am

Sally-catlover

Bye for now. FW for me too. Any other clues needed before I vanish?

5:33 am

Haz1558

Good morning, Nono, nice to see you.

5:34 am

Haz1558

Congratulations, Sally and kje. it took me a minute to work out FW. I'm losing it.

5:34 am

NonoNanette

Thanks Haz, always good to see you too!

5:35 am

Haz1558

LoriP is around as well, but she's lying low. I think there's going to be a preemptive strike when FM appears.

5:36 am

NonoNanette

yes I think I saw Lori lurking somewhere

5:36 am

Haz1558

She thinks she can hide from us,but her lurking skills have diminished.

5:37 am

NonoNanette

hard to believe but your right Haz she has gotten rather lax with her skills

5:38 am

Kazzer99

dont get the re 7 clue

5:38 am

Haz1558

I know.

5:38 am

Haz1558

re, first letters of a word of apology (two) then a type of engine much used in planes.

Haz1558

You're welcome.

5:39 am

Kazzer99

anyone know what it means

5:40 am

Haz1558

No dictionary results from dictionary.com

NonoNanette

what's with the clue for re 7. your clue seems to be a five letter clue so i must be missing something with my sleepy mind & eyes.

7:10 am

Mom

I have been wanting to tell you how wonderful I think it is that you have still been smoke free with all you have had going on.

7:10 am

jmbdobie2

7:19 am

Mom

Hi tceicher

7:21 am

Riverdance

I guess it was just time but the cost is what really made me think about it. Thowing away $50 a week when I am trying to figure out how to pay for daughters college next year - just didnt make sense. Talked to my Doc during yearly physical. She gave me prescription for Chantix - friends used it and it worked real good for them. I dont think it worked well for me but I had so much support from friends and babbler - thats what did it

7:21 am

YAY faor Riverdance. I am so very proud of you!

7:26 am

Mom

Annie, have you noticed any improvement with the medication?

7:26 am

Haz1558

I'm fine, thanks, and Spangle is, as you say, as pretty as ever. I tried changing her for another icon but there was an outcry.

7:26 am

7:27 am

Anniebrook

Mom, Funny you should ask. My union will not pay for it until I have tried some cheaper ones. Of course, the one that is in dispute was helping. I am now on another one..hope it does the trick.

7:27 am

Haz1558

e plus a doing again prefix, finish off with the unwanted insect (think of dust and what it contains)

7:27 am

Mom

thank you Bubba and Haz

7:28 am

Oh geez, Annie, that is just awful

now Haz and bubba, you should know that babblers have no idea what "dust" is, we all are excellent housekeepers and have our homes in order before we play babble.

Mom

7:28 am

Haz1558

Everyone is welcome! (which is not what you'd put on an open Facebook invitation)

7:29 am

Haz1558

I know - dust was a theoretical image only.

7:29 am

Nancy Boy

au contraire, Haz; that is how the best parties start ;)

7:31 am

also a way for things to get out of hand :-)

River, how long will Keith have to stay in the hospital?

7:58 am

Riverdance

that will depend on how the procedure goes - minumum 2 days in ICU or step down unit - thats the best case - if he needs a pacing wire or has some other complication - it could be several days or weeks. So we hope all goes well and he comes home Wed or Thurs

7:59 am

Riverdance

It will all depend on what they find when they get in there

8:00 am

Riverdance

He was diagnosed with Wolffe Parkinson White Syndrome - you can google it - the procedure is a radiofrequency ablation

Good Morning Crossy

9:30 am

gremlinn

lucky I knew the first re7 - would have been a headache to guess

9:31 am

Riverdance

I snatched that clue from someone else *smiling*

9:32 am

gremlinn

still, it comes up so rarely (may have been a year or more) that it took hours of fumbling around to spy it

9:33 am

Riverdance

first time I have seen it in my 4 short months here

9:33 am

gremlinn

yep, probably learned it on Word Racer or Wordsplay long ago.

9:34 am

Riverdance

never did notice it on wordsplay - different words there

9:35 am

gremlinn

Wordsplay has a lot more, so it's unfortunate to learn "words" there that don't work anywhere else

9:35 am

mkg

os please?

9:35 am

gremlinn

like "omerta" which would have worked here

9:36 am

gremlinn

ro6, minus the first letter

9:36 am

gremlinn

if you need that ro6 first, it means "redder"

9:37 am

Riverdance

you have to be quite fast to outclue gremlinn here - so I will sit back and relax

9:43 am

flosey

you must have an amazing memory, grem, to remember such words

9:44 am

gremlinn

I didn't know the definition, but I just looked it up to see if was related to another word in the puzzle - sure enough, it is.

9:44 am

Riverdance

you must have a great love of words grem

9:45 am

gremlinn

yeah, I got obsessed with Boggle at some point

9:45 am

flosey

have never tried Boggle

9:46 am

gremlinn

well, that's the generic name for this sort of game

9:46 am

gremlinn

rather, the original game name

9:46 am

flosey

ah, thanks

9:46 am

gremlinn

so I just think of every game of this type as a "Boggle" game

9:47 am

the king has fallen -- Berdych defeats Federer

9:48 am

gremlinn

I started with "Word Racer" on Yahoo Games in 1998 and it's been pretty much constant since then (several times I took a few months in a row off, and once I quit for a year straight but fell back into it at some point).

9:48 am

flosey

ah crossy, we recently unsubscribed to an email "central" sort of thing, sent numerous emails every day -= sometimes 30 and more!

9:48 am

Riverdance

I heard about this from some folks on Wordsplay - could have been vlcl or ormal - cant remember - so thought I would check it out ......

I don't see the french tr... or how to get to it..

10:21 am

Haz1558

If you get the first three letters, think of what women put for their maiden names. That gives you the letters, put the consonant between the two vowels and voila!

10:21 am

crosshair

nor do i,if i were still fluent in french(instead of just ordering booze and hitting on french women) lol

10:23 am

Riverdance

tr + that commed**** was so funny

It's the sort of engine used in lots of modern planes. The kind that Peter Paul and Mary left on.

10:42 am

rururocks

Andy doesn't work hard enough to win Wimbledon

10:42 am

Uneaixoise

then the Williams sisters lost their doubles match today -- another shocker

10:43 am

Haz1558

Yes, he seems not to be popular with the players, talked of as being aloof, but then, you can only go on what commentators tell you.

10:43 am

Uneaixoise

ruru, he should have gone further tho

10:43 am

Haz1558

Andy Roddick - not work hard enough? The man sweats enough for 6.

10:43 am

Uneaixoise

TRUE!

10:44 am

FMitch

lol

10:44 am

Haz1558

And you can't say that he didn't give Federer a real match in last year's final.

I'm not on facebook.

Dr god, how come some of us didn't get emails asking for suggestions?

10:47 am

FMitch

I was just about to type the same thing Haz, and HI Dr_G

10:47 am

Uneaixoise

just curious

10:47 am

Haz1558

(All non-Facebook people join hands and sing)

10:47 am

FMitch

HAve you got your up to date email addy in your account setting Une?

10:47 am

Haz1558

Not sure what we'll sing, and now wondering if an open invitation to sing when VI might be around is a good thing.

10:47 am

Uneaixoise

yep -- hasn't changed since i signed up

10:48 am

FMitch

strange Une :(

10:48 am

Haz1558

Aloy didn't get one either.

10:48 am

FMitch

We will be blaming you Haz if Vi does break out into *glorious* song.

10:49 am

Haz1558

I know, everybody get earplugs ready just in case.

10:50 am

Crossy advised us to get out of Facebook! there had been problems

*Considers being offended at slight against non-Facebook people... decides not to bother.*

10:50 am

*is Vi on Facebook?*

10:50 am

FMitch

Hey TO

Erda I tried it too and didn't like it either.

10:50 am

Haz1558

Oh, let's just all be offended for five minutes to get it over with.

10:50 am

Uneaixoise

uh oh, so you're primed to create the song for non-facebook folks! LOL

10:50 am

Vicuna

No, Vi is not on Facebook. =D

10:50 am

Vicuna

Hello, all.

10:51 am

72 Temple Owl

best to leave fb alone if you can't keepup withprivacy issues

10:51 am

Haz1558

So, what protest songs do we know? We shall not be moved....

10:51 am

FMitch

Hi flosey, almost missed you ther.

10:51 am

My Face is like an Open Book,
So you don't need a computer to take a look...

hi FM and Vi, TO, all who came in within last few minutes

10:52 am

How about We Shall Overcome

Joe Hill is my favorite (but inappropriate in this case)

10:52 am

10:52 am

hey, judi :-)

10:52 am

FMitch

lol Judi

10:52 am

flosey

lol, Hey Jude!

10:52 am

rururocks

that's the B of A protest song

10:53 am

Judi

Hi, kids. Here's a thought: Let's not sing!

10:53 am

72 Temple Owl

hi judi

10:53 am

jmbdobie2

*humming quietly at my desk*

10:53 am

Haz1558

We need to get ourselves organised. Someone artistic, like dear VI, should organise the painting of the banners. That leaves those with tolerable singing voices to do the music. She'll not realise she's been sidelined.

10:53 am

Erda

Edit Piaf's "I don't regret anything," (much better in French) -- rien de rien

10:54 am

Haz1558

Oh yes! Lots of guttural rrrrrrrrrrrrr. BUt what are we not regrrrrrrrrrrreting?

10:54 am

Uneaixoise

non, rien de rien . . . non, je ne regrette rien . . .

10:54 am

Vicuna

*still not bothering to be offended... but puts a particularly grotesque charicature of Haz on the banners*

10:54 am

Judi

Me hungry. Want lunch.

10:54 am

FMitch

I've forgotten already what we are protesting about - oh yes Vi's singing *giggle*

10:54 am

Uneaixoise

:-D

10:55 am

Vicuna

*FM's distorted protrait leers from the second banner*

10:55 am

Haz1558

We're protesting about some people not being asked for opinions and about Dr G onlytelling people on Facebook. We need a snappy slogan otherwise the banners will be a mess.

10:55 am

FMitch

LOL, anyway it's it all Haz's fault she started it.

10:55 am

Judi

Poor Haz & FM. Displayed in effigy.

10:56 am

Erda

We don't regret NOT being on Facebook -- that's what...

10:56 am

Haz1558

It's Dr-G's fault! He'll be easy to in caricature with that beard of his.

10:57 am

Vicuna

Banners says, over pic of FM and Haz, "We've kept our faces off Facebook as a public service."

10:57 am

FMitch

LOL!

10:58 am

Haz1558

That Vicuna. Not a note in her head but she keeps a sense of humour.

10:58 am

Judi

"Babble Discriminates Against Prima Donnas!"

10:58 am

Uneaixoise

been standin here waitin here mr. postman
So-o-o patiently
for just a card,or a letter

10:58 am

Uneaixoise

The sooner the better . . .

10:59 am

Vicuna

I don't know about that, Judi. I think we find a welcoming space for quite a few of them here! ;)

10:59 am

Judi

2 minutes to lunch. *hunkers into pounce out door mode*

10:59 am

jmbdobie2

check it and see one more time for me.

10:59 am

Haz1558

Babble discriminates against longstanding valuable and dearly beloved babblers by not sending them e-mails and we're not going to put up with it any more!

10:59 am

Vicuna

Yeah, that's snappy, Haz!

10:59 am

Judi

10:59 am

Dr_God

For those of you not on Facebook, I'm currently creating a Twitter account as well. I'm sure most non-Facebook folk are also not using Twitter, but Twitter's not as "icky" as Facebook, and it has a much lower "barrier of entry."

dr god - how do i facebook you?

11:00 am

Haz1558

We thank you, Dr_G. At least it stops Vi from starting to sing. That was enough of a threat to put anyone into action.

11:01 am

Vicuna

If you're concerned about privacy on Facebook, just grow Dr G's ZZ Top beard and all will be concealed.

11:01 am

Dr_God

And if you didn't get an email from me, make sure your email address is up-to-date in the My Account area, that you have "Email Updates" checked, and that your spam filter didn't eat up my emails. :)

11:01 am

*smug* I got an e-mail.

i dont tweet but i am beginning to love facebook

11:02 am

So, is the protest called off?

11:02 am

rururocks

<<------ haz is special

11:02 am

FMitch

Kazzer Dr_G posted a link, you will have to scroll back to get it.

11:02 am

Vicuna

Oh, I probably don't have "updates" checked, I suppose. Good thing I didn't bother getting offended.

11:02 am

Haz1558

*smugger*

11:03 am

Haz1558

We'll have to work on your righteous indignation levels, VI.

11:03 am

Vicuna

Err.... actually, the send updates box *is* checked. Starts to seriously reconsider that whole offended thing!

11:04 am

Vicuna

... then again, why bother?

11:05 am

Haz1558

Oh go on, we can't have a protest otherwise. We've got the slogan ready and everything.

11:05 am

FMitch

No football on TV today at all ... yay!

11:06 am

11:08 am

guernseygirl

don't mention cavities. i've just spent an hour at the dentist for him to crown a tooth. after 10 injections he couldn't numb it and had to fill it instead. hello all

11:08 am

Haz1558

You're welcome, Kazzer.

11:09 am

Haz1558

So, guernsey. What's your view on cavities?

11:09 am

FMitch

owie gg!

11:09 am

guernseygirl

unspeakable

11:09 am

guernseygirl

unprintable

11:09 am

FMitch

10 injections, you will be dribbling for hours!

11:09 am

Kazzer99

i would never have got that far - would have had it out and even if it was a front one

11:10 am

Haz1558

And you probably can't say anything anyway without dribbling.

11:10 am

guernseygirl

he says the filling may not hold an i may have to go to the dental hospital and be put to sleep

11:10 am

rururocks

<------ dribbles without injections...

11:10 am

72 Temple Owl

just back from fb. from what i undersand, if you are friends with anyone who joins this group and they make their profiles more available than you do, you will be vulnerable to fb's whims. :(

11:10 am

PinnyPoppins

GG - if you need to see a proper dentist, come to London and see my dad

11:10 am

Haz1558

Don't take a wrong turn and go to the vets instead. Putting you to sleep would have much more final consequences.

11:11 am

guernseygirl

like my cat - i hope not

11:11 am

Poor guernsey gorl!

11:11 am

Vicuna

er, girl.

I hope you get it sorted out!

Kazzer99

no good going for the list - if its up

11:12 am

guernseygirl

thanks pinny. i think its my mouth not my dentist. i've had this problem with this particular tooth before. i'm more frightened of having a tooth out than i am of having it crowned. thanks Haz

11:14 am

Right, I'd better make a move towards the kitchen. Enjoy the grid those of you still playing and see you tomorrow!

my feline is too fat to be crazed, the only way she would interact with the keyboard is if i rubbed turkey or catnip on it : )

12:16 pm

rururocks

last te 7?

12:16 pm

bethn

i have had to put a keyboard "skin" over the keys to keep the parrot from pulling them off and laughing like a loon while he runs away

12:17 pm

We have 3 four-leggers of the feline variety, all boys and they drive me nuts!

12:17 pm

12:47 pm

12:48 pm

rubyfoo

eeew again!

12:48 pm

EvaNadine

i must say, that does NOT sound pleasant...heh

12:49 pm

To me, it sounds both painful and kind of intimidating!

12:50 pm

congrats RUby, I am not even there, and I am going to have to nap again soon...

12:51 pm

sleep? I've forgotten what that is ;)

12:51 pm

redturtlehead

sort of, I have to go to work at night, so a nap is needed....

12:55 pm

EvaNadine

i need to make sure i get my rest tonight -- dear fiance has talked me into taking off friday to head to the beach for an early 4th of july celebration. we will be back before most of the hordes head out there, but our friends band (our wedding band!) is playing out there tomorrow night and it will be a long day of work, a long evening of driving, and a long night of dancing and drinking!

12:58 pm

Nancy Boy

sounds amazing, Eva! I forgot about 4th of July...we'll be celebrating here in London about that time too, starting on the 3rd....it's pride fortnight!

12:58 pm

Ormal

wow sounds like fun - hope you enjoy

12:59 pm

Ormal

pride fortnight?

12:59 pm

EvaNadine

being from london, my dads favorite joke was this:

yknow, they celebrate the 4th of july back in england too -- only they call it thanksgiving.
;)

1:01 pm

Nancy Boy

yeah Ormal, and it's right on my doorstep this year - just have to make up my mind whether to be lazy and go to the street party, or make an effort to see the parade

1:02 pm

Nancy Boy

LOL Eva!

1:03 pm

PinnyPoppins

Hey Everyone! NB - if Straight Tom is cute, I'm sure I can help out with that avalanche :)

1:03 pm

Ormal

wish they had something like that where I live -

1:04 pm

Nancy Boy

omg he is, Pinny ;) too cute to be straight. we'll get 'im...

1:04 pm

EvaNadine

im pretty sure they just recently had our local pride parade...

1:05 pm

PinnyPoppins

No no no! Leave some good ones for me!

1:05 pm

Nancy Boy

do they not, Ormal? a lot of big cities seem to now...if you feel you're missing out, head down to London next year - we're hosting international pride week. Should be interesting!

1:06 pm

Ormal

I'd have to move to a city for street parties I think. I wish I could head to London next year. I've not been to England before

1:07 pm

Nancy Boy

play fair Pinny, you get the remaining 95% of the male population to pick from ;)

1:07 pm

Ormal

I do a lot of wishing, can't you see?

1:07 pm

Nancy Boy

well, it's partly luck for me, Ormal - I kind of live in the centre of London's 'gay district', so it makes sense that it'd be right on my doorstep!

1:10 pm

Nancy Boy

We're having ours in July because the universe is giving me a break, Eva ;) June was a sad month; July has pride and my birthday...party month.

1:10 pm

EvaNadine

pinny -- clearly NB doesnt understand that 95% of the GOOD male population ARE gay. ;)

1:10 pm

praise2him

oh duh

1:10 pm

praise2him

wasn't looking at the list right

1:10 pm

praise2him

thanks Babble Rabble

1:11 pm

o-o

yw, ma'am

1:12 pm

PinnyPoppins

So true EvaN! All the guys I know are short, fat and balding.

1:13 pm

PinnyPoppins

But my former gay housemate was a model (from Singapore). So unfair!

1:13 pm

Ormal

Poor Pinny! I think you need to meet straight Tom.

1:13 pm

EvaNadine

s'why i cling for dear life to my fiance. he may not be perfect, but hes perfect for me. ;)

1:14 pm

PinnyPoppins

Ha ha. Actually, I've got a date to meet a personal trainer and I've lined up a date with a hot lawyer for when I'm in Boston

1:14 pm

PinnyPoppins

So keep your fingers crossed for me

1:14 pm

Nancy Boy

Eva, that is one of the most romantic things I've ever heard!

1:15 pm

Nancy Boy

Good for you, Pinny! Knock 'em both dead and have them fight to the death to win your hand.

1:15 pm

Ormal

Best of luck to you Pinny@!

1:15 pm

Ormal

ra

1:16 pm

EvaNadine

i can be romantic once in a while. ;)

1:16 pm

PinnyPoppins

now, can i pleeeease get a clue for the single E and single A in the 4th column for NBT

1:16 pm

PinnyPoppins

i'm baffled

1:16 pm

Nancy Boy

*tuts* there she goes, bringing the grid into it..

1:16 pm

Ormal

it

1:17 pm

CadFan

singular A - plural for a valve

1:17 pm

PinnyPoppins

hahaah. i assure you that if either of the dates go well, i won't be on here talking about the grid!

1:18 pm

Ormal

sorry I don't have them yet Pinny

1:18 pm

CadFan

singular e... hmmm.... it's a 7 letter - old fashioned before a small bug

1:18 pm

Nancy Boy

well, I'm afraid I can't offer you any clues, but I can try and follow your good example. Dating in London looks completely terrifying, there's not a sane person to be seen.

1:19 pm

CadFan

Wow - you have high standards if you're looking for sanity NB. ;)

1:19 pm

PinnyPoppins

Wait NB - don't want to stir up bad memories, but I've clearly missed the latest stage in the Leo situation :(

1:19 pm

amelu0218

the A is like a courtyard...

1:19 pm

dofith

or, for single a, plural Roman enclosed garden thingy

1:19 pm

Nancy Boy

guess I'd better get back to work, though, and hopefully prince charming will come charging through the doors. It could happen. See you all later ;)

1:20 pm

PinnyPoppins

ooh - thanks for all the good clues. wish i could get them!

1:20 pm

dofith

Courtyard, that's it! plural

1:20 pm

CadFan

Ahhh better clues... I always resort to science stuff

1:20 pm

PinnyPoppins

OK - got the single A!

1:20 pm

Ormal

have a good evening NB

1:20 pm

CadFan

THe A - can sometimes have fibrillation

1:21 pm

dofith

Same, really - a chamber of the heart? like a room?

1:21 pm

EvaNadine

from speaking with my cousin, who also lives in london, im afraid i may have to agree with you, NB.
glad its not a scene i have ever had to date in. ;)

1:22 pm

CadFan

YEs - I said valve but really chamber.

1:22 pm

EvaNadine

pinny -- unfortunately, Lep turned out not to be the lovely prince we had hoped he would be, and NB has left him and moved out.

1:22 pm

CadFan

LOL love the typo.. Lep....

1:23 pm

PinnyPoppins

Wow. I missed that chapter in the story. I knew Leo had already done the bad thing. Where's NB living now? Is he doing ok?

1:24 pm

EvaNadine

as it turns out, a friend of his as looking for a flatmate, so things turned out quite well.
he seems to be handling it all very well. but of course, we are all worried like the friends and mothers that we babblers are...

1:25 pm

PinnyPoppins

OK - thanks for the update Eva. Poor NB. I hope he finds someone worthy very soon

1:26 pm

EvaNadine

*sigh*
dont we all?
we love our wittle NB. ;)

2:07 pm

Aloyisius

2:08 pm

Aloyisius

2:08 pm

Nef

Hi sprite, jacq, and Aloy

2:09 pm

Ouwachita

any clue for the at7 ? last one i need

2:09 pm

sprite

seems to be the common judgment

2:09 pm

Nef

I've been here almost 10 minutes and have 3 tiles til NBT; so it's *starting* out okay

2:10 pm

Aloyisius

at + put your mind to ***t, then add two vowels

2:11 pm

Ouwachita

thanks aloyisius

2:11 pm

Aloyisius

yw, glad you found it

2:12 pm

Nef

Aloy, I've put my mind to sleep, or at ease, or to do something; but Can't figure out your clue

2:12 pm

Ormal

It's mostly an easy grid, but then there are some words that just are difficult to find

2:12 pm

sprite

thanks Aloy and Nef

2:12 pm

Aloyisius

lol, you are close.. don't ***t on your laurels

2:12 pm

Nef

NM, Aloy, I just got it

2:12 pm

Aloyisius

yay (-:

2:13 pm

sprite

it was Nef's question that made me see what the *** were :)

2:13 pm

Nef

now if you would have clued it as a medical term.... ;-)

2:13 pm

Aloyisius

my mind is very much at ***t today, lol

2:14 pm

Aloyisius

ok, closure of a body passage, or maybe its absence

2:14 pm

Aloyisius

or maybe it just wore away

2:14 pm

Nef

:-D

2:15 pm

Aloyisius

(-: pretty word for something not so pretty

2:16 pm

Nef

very true. Aloy. And often not the easiest diseases to work with

2:16 pm

Aloyisius

finishing up the t's and thinking of terra.. how is your pooch, sprite?

2:17 pm

2:19 pm

Nef

Okay, my dtr. just stomped upstairs (she's sick today and didn't go to work) and was angry and yelling at us because I took the phone down to HER to deal with her creditor! It isn't MY fault that she's blown this guy off for several weeks; but WE are getting the calls from the credit company! Sorry, Girl, *I* am not going to take this garbage from you and it isn't my fault you haven't dealt with this call before this!

2:19 pm

2:34 pm

Nef

Please could I have the letter counts for the 2nd row E and I; and something from the the 3rd row O? I can't find anything thus far

2:36 pm

Nef

(that was the 2nd row, 4th column E, BTW. The LONE E and I

THANK YOU! Now that I know the count, my mind is saying HOW did you NOT see thaose?

2:37 pm

sprite

yep that is the one :)

2:37 pm

sprite

and io4/4

2:38 pm

sprite

babble blindness. Very common.

2:39 pm

Nef

I wish there was a quick remedy for it, sprite!

2:39 pm

wildcat17

asking for a clue usually works for me .. the second I ask, I see

2:39 pm

hurshy

and i wish there was a quick remedy for depression

2:40 pm

hurshy

and a quick remedy for hating your job (that didn't involve no longer having an income)

2:41 pm

wildcat17

sounds like someone is having a tough day

2:41 pm

sprite

wanna hug, hursh, or wanna beat up something?

2:41 pm

hurshy

beat up something!

2:41 pm

Nef

(((hurshy))) I've always said that if you don't like your job; get out.

2:42 pm

sprite

*puts up sturdy puppet that looks like someone you are mad at*
Go ahead!

2:42 pm

wildcat17

anything in particular (ducks)?

2:42 pm

hurshy

i have boxing games on the wii. unfortunately i want to beat something up when i am HERE, but once i get home, i just feel more tired and defeated.

2:43 pm

sprite

finding a way to let your anger out would help against the depression. But that is easier said than done, I know.

2:44 pm

Nef

if you love your job; it doesn't matter how little you earn; you will get by and do fine. If you hate your job; nothing else matters; it spills into the rest of your life. If it's just 1 person in that job who is making it unbearable; the murder is justifiable. ;-)

2:45 pm

hurshy

the increased exercise i've been doing for awhile now definitely makes me feel better... but then i come to work and blech. it's hard to know if it counts as depression if, yes, you have underlying tendencies that way but there are things wrong with your life, too.

2:45 pm

hurshy

of course, my marriage also sucks, so basically all i have going for me on a day-to-day basis is the cats and the wii.

2:46 pm

hurshy

anyway. i don't want this to become a whole thing in the chog, so, talk of other things.

2:47 pm

KatieMcG

cats are good at least

2:47 pm

sprite

I think it counts as depression if you feel unable to do something about the problems. Repressed anger can be so very paralysing. Speaking from experience and not at all trying to say the solution is easy!

2:47 pm

hurshy

cats are great!

2:47 pm

sprite

cats are cool

2:48 pm

hurshy

i wrote a poem when i was six...
"cats are nice
cats are great
but cats don't have
a fishing bate"
and drew a picture of a sad cat on a shore looking at a happy fish.

2:48 pm

sprite

awwww that is so sweet

2:48 pm

jacq

hurshy, speaking from experience, you need to get out of one or both bad situations (((((hursh))))) i hope life gets easier hun

2:48 pm

jmitch

i add those that aggrevate me to the long list titled "people I must outlive so I can pee on their grave"

2:48 pm

hurshy

it's still on my grandmother's fridge, hehe

2:48 pm

mixi6

I like cats. They like me.

2:48 pm

sprite

lollll jmitch!

2:48 pm

hurshy

well, i am hopefully going to be making a job change in about 6 months, so, just trying to look forward to that and hope it makes things a little better.

2:49 pm

mixi6

like your poem hurshy.

2:49 pm

sprite

hursh it sounds dr Seuss like, seriously. You must have been one helluva 6 yo.

2:51 pm

sprite

fireflies. Good grid, smooth parts and chewy parts.

2:51 pm

KatieMcG

congrats sprite

2:51 pm

2:51 pm

2:51 pm

2:53 pm

hi, all :) I also saw some discussion of hated jobs...since I'm at work right now, I'll happily pitch in to that.

2:53 pm

Nef

hi NB. How are You?

2:53 pm

KatieMcG

I got back at gone 8pm tonight for the third night in the row, good job I like mine!

2:54 pm

7 7 letter words left. ugh.

2:54 pm

Nancy Boy

((Sprite)) :)
and hiya, Nef! I'm alright I suppose, a little fed up. Yourself?

2:57 pm

Nef

I'm tired. A member of DH's small family died and I drove up to the funeral Monday and back again yesterday with DH and his 84 yr old Aunt. It's a 7 hour drive each way

2:57 pm

hurshy

ugh, sounds exhausting

2:57 pm

Nef

great picure for your icon, BTW

2:58 pm

Nancy Boy

oh man, Nef :( last thing you need!

2:58 pm

Nef

and I didn't mention that there was road construction everywhere we went!

2:58 pm

Nancy Boy

thank you :) I haven't had much cause to smile lately, so the picture is there to remind me to do so ;)

3:00 pm

Nancy Boy

sounds like the journey from hell, Nef!

3:01 pm

Nef

NB, go read the bottom sentence of your profile. Thenigs will be better soon

3:02 pm

sammysmom

re 7/48??

3:03 pm

Nancy Boy

I guess :) it just feels strange to suddenly be on my own. This is such a big planet and I'm drifting around on it entirely unprotected ;) thank you though - a good thing to keep in mind!

3:03 pm

Nef

It wasn't too terrible. The weather was nice for traveling. The sad thing was that this was a woman younger than me who didn't let anyone know that she was so sick. It was wonderful to see the whole town turn out for both the visitation and the funeral. It's just going to be hard for many people for a while

3:04 pm

hurshy

ooh, there's an re7/48?! good to know...

3:04 pm

mixi6

re + ** there! + plane engine

3:04 pm

Nancy Boy

oh Nef, how sad! wonderful to know she was so loved and appreciated, though - very touching for those close to her

3:05 pm

hurshy

well no wonder i hadn't stumbled upon THAT!

3:05 pm

mixi6

er7,32? help?

3:05 pm

Nef

NB, you aren't all alone in this world. That was something that hit home yesterday: we all have so many others we are connected to and it doesn't always show

3:05 pm

hurshy

phantom - temerity

3:06 pm

hurshy

er7 = poetic 'before' + tiny bit

3:06 pm

jmitch

Nothing wrong with being alone....helps you find yourself.

3:06 pm

Nancy Boy

yeah, guess I have a lot to be grateful for, when I think about it. thanks, Nef! you make a good agony aunt ;)

3:06 pm

sammysmom

thanks

3:08 pm

hurshy

compound 7 letter word - the hour at which we have our scones and hot beverage...

3:08 pm

Nef

what's an agony aunt? I've never heard that te** before

3:08 pm

hurshy

yet the homonym of what you have when you go golfing doesn't count...

3:09 pm

mixi6

that's two words hurshy.

3:09 pm

Nancy Boy

an agony aunt is someone you go to for advice :)

3:09 pm

Nancy Boy

erk, I'd better get back to work, though..

3:09 pm

hurshy

why should it be two words if the other one isn't?

3:10 pm

mixi6

I dunno.

3:10 pm

mixi6

'cuz it's English?

3:11 pm

Nef

back to work then NB. (DH is futzing around; needs attention every so often)

3:12 pm

Nancy Boy

right you are Nef ;) and thanks. later, all!

3:14 pm

found the tiny bit is a bug.

yes. tiny bit. bug.

YAY, mixie!!! WTG!!!

3:26 pm

Wait- I don't get the ji clue :(

3:27 pm

hurshy

that's because there wasn't a clue, other than that it's four letters...

3:27 pm

hurshy

it rhymes with italian hello/goodbye word.

3:27 pm

Nef

j + 3 different vowels, Pinny

3:27 pm

PinnyPoppins

oh! Ha! that explains it!

3:27 pm

PinnyPoppins

Thanks Nef! Just greyed my J

3:28 pm

well i'm done and i'm goin' home, bye all.

3:29 pm

Nef

Good night, hurshy. Stop and smeel the flowers on your way home so you can relax a bit.

3:45 pm

Nef

Geez! I just re-read my last post and no one commented about the "smeel!" You guys ARE all focused on finishing the grid!!!

3:48 pm

littlebit

i did see it...was just trying to be kind :)

3:48 pm

littlebit

it did make me grin though

3:50 pm

Nef

LOL! It was an accidental misprint; but I'm glad it made you smile!

3:50 pm

littlebit

i have typos all the time, so i know how to read it

3:52 pm

Nef

we all make typos a lot.

3:54 pm

littlebit

that is true

3:58 pm

Nef

as I play this game, I sometimes think it's my typos that make some of these grids harder than others

4:01 pm

littlebit

i know the feeling!!

4:02 pm

littlebit

i have to brag on my son's new car...it's my icon.

4:04 pm

Nef

it's a black... miata?

4:05 pm

Nef

no Nissan

4:05 pm

littlebit

2003 nissan 350z

4:05 pm

littlebit

just got it a week ago...he's very happy!

4:06 pm

Nef

did he buy it himself or did you help him?

4:07 pm

Nef

it's nice looking. I've always told my kids that red and black are the 2 colors of cars the police pull over the most often.

4:07 pm

littlebit

i co-signed only because he goes to school part time and only works part time

4:08 pm

periwinkle

hello all

4:08 pm

littlebit

i know!! but he had his heart set on a black one.

4:08 pm

periwinkle

tired of this grid and 52 left

4:08 pm

Nef

How old is he? I did help by co-signing for my kids on their first "newer" cars; we'd always given them our old hand-me-downs at first

4:09 pm

periwinkle

I had a red car for almost 19 years and only got stopped once

4:09 pm

Nef

hi peri.

4:09 pm

littlebit

he's 23. his credit score was good enough, just not enough income on his own.

4:09 pm

Nef

it mustn't have been the right shade of "Pull Me Over Red" then, peri! ;-) Or it wasn't a cool car

4:10 pm

littlebit

his first car he bought outright...paid cash for a junker.

4:10 pm

KatieMcG

could I please have a clue for the er7 please

4:11 pm

littlebit

don't have it yet katie...sorry

4:11 pm

Nef

I learned that color from a co-worker. She was a transplant nurse coordinator and bought this cute but fast little red convertible. She was pulled over 4-5 times before she learned to slow down.

m9f9l

hey GE

4:18 pm

Good Enough

hey nef how did the trip go yesterday?

4:20 pm

m9f9l

that is REALLY funny about the donor cards!

4:20 pm

Nef

it was okay, 7 hours driving up and 7 hours back with road construction both ways (it wasn't bad to drive through, just LOTS of short bits of road work); plus too hard on DH

4:21 pm

m9f9l

ew yuckers

4:21 pm

Good Enough

is he resting lots today?

4:22 pm

Nef

We went up Monday for the visitation and then the funeral was Tues. AM. The whole otwn turned out for both. That church couldn't have held one more person if it had too. It really made me aware of how much one person connects with everyone else. She was avery quiet good person, and it was apparent that everyone loved her

4:23 pm

Good Enough

then i guess it was worth the trip

4:23 pm

Nef

yep. He wanted to do stuff and I told him NO and that *I* didn't feel up to it (sometimes that works better than saying HE looks tired)

4:24 pm

periwinkle

who died Nef?

4:24 pm

KatieMcG

good thinking Nef

4:25 pm

Nef

my DH's cousins' wife. DH only has 4 cousins and as a young boy and teen he'd go up to stay at his cousins' and help with the farm work. This is his oly male cousin

4:27 pm

Nef

She was younger than me and had cancer; we knew that but no one knew how sick she was. Her middle child went to see her 2 days before she died and she was still talking about getting a second opinion; her son went back home (about 800 miles away and she died and he couldn't get off for the funeral. :-(

4:28 pm

Nef

(that should have been "ONLY" not "oly"

4:28 pm

periwinkle

sorry for your loss Nef

4:28 pm

Good Enough

that's terrible that he couldn't be there

4:28 pm

Nef

thanks, peri.

4:28 pm

periwinkle

37 left bbs

4:29 pm

Nef

I agree GE

4:30 pm

Good Enough

we got back from vacation on tuesday and i haven't been able to really get into the grids the last few days; just kinda skimming across the top

4:31 pm

Good Enough

i think i need a day off to dig into a grid completely

4:32 pm

Nef

sometimes that's good enough, GE. this isn't really the type of game where you want to win regardless of anyone else

4:35 pm

Good Enough

very true. i just haven't done them to my satisfaction and i don't necessarily mean completing the whole thing

4:36 pm

KatieMcG

tr 6/33 please

4:37 pm

Nef

well, you're okay with the game unless you wake up in the middle of the night and have to rush out and add words in the middle of your sleep!

4:37 pm

Good Enough

LOL

4:38 pm

Nef

tr 6/33 is a number and a type of plane

4:40 pm

littlebit

4:55 pm

redturtlehead

We get some every day, but usually onyl for a few minutes, this one is nice and cooling. May knock the temp off..

4:55 pm

Nef

what's a flash mob?

4:57 pm

JBV

Good evening, babblers -

4:57 pm

Uneaixoise

here's wikipedia's def edited slightly by moi: a group of people who assemble in a public place, perform an act for a brief time, then disperse. The term flash mob is generally applied only to gatherings organized via telecommunications, social media, or viral emails

4:58 pm

Nef

hi JBV

4:58 pm

Jellen

Hi, JBV

4:58 pm

Uneaixoise

Nef, lately there've been some great videos posted on youtube of groups suddenly bursting into song in unlikely places like the grocery store . . . and there was a great Ghost Buster's performance recently at the New York Public Library :-)

4:58 pm

JBV

I am in the midst of a strange and wonderful day - first day of retirement but that's not even the best part.....

4:59 pm

Uneaixoise

yes . . . ??

4:59 pm

Nef

thanks, Unea. I guess my age is showing

4:59 pm

JBV

had a call from a cousin of mine in Italy who I haven't seen or talked to in 37 years (!!!!) - still can't believe it!

4:59 pm

Uneaixoise

how exciting!!

4:59 pm

Jellen

Wow, JBV!

5:00 pm

MizHoffle

that is a wonderful surprise!

5:00 pm

Nef

WOW, JBV! Congrats on retiring and how wonderful to hear from an old family member like that!

5:00 pm

JBV

it's part of a longer drama - I can summarize quickly: I had visited my father's hometown in Sicily in 1973, lived with this family, kept up a correspondence for a few years, then let it evaporate, you know how that is

5:00 pm

MizHoffle

I think you have your next vacation

5:00 pm

JBV

then this year my brother decided to take his wife and 3 grown kids to the same town to see what's up

5:00 pm

Uneaixoise

last year my ex-BIL called from New Zealand out of the blue -- talked forever -- hadn't communicated since the '80s

5:00 pm

Good Enough

retirement?!! ohhhhh... *sigh*

5:01 pm

Uneaixoise

JBV that is SO cool! :-)

5:01 pm

JBV

they meet my aunt, who's now 91 and exchange addresses, phone numbers, emails, etc. , so voila - this call out of the blue

5:01 pm

Uneaixoise

serendipitously fabbo!

5:01 pm

Nef

WONDERFUL!! Great story, JBV!

5:02 pm

JBV

if it was in a movie, people would say it's too far out, could never happen

5:02 pm

JBV

now I have to brush up on my Italian - they don't speak a word of English

5:03 pm

Uneaixoise

oh, wow, so your phone conversation was all in Italian?

5:03 pm

Nef

WOW! That's even more interesting! How much Italian do you remember?

5:03 pm

JBV

yes, Une - I did pretty good

5:04 pm

Uneaixoise

impressive -- i think it's sooo much harder when you can't see lips moving!

5:04 pm

Nef

Had you been exposed to Italian in the past 37 years?

5:04 pm

JBV

yes, I agree, we might try Skype next time but I need my son to help me with that and he said the same, can't do it without his son

5:05 pm

JBV

Nef, I speak Spanish very well and I do try to keep the Italian wheels oiled, but no, no one really to talk to here - I go to an online forum which is very helpful, wordreference.com

5:05 pm

Nef

LOL!

5:07 pm

Uneaixoise

back in a mo . . .

5:07 pm

JBV

wordreference.com is good for anyone who is trying to get native speakers to help with translations - you can join a forum in Spanish, French, English and I think they have German too

5:08 pm

Nef

At least you know some foreign languages. I've never had the chance to learn (other than short medical phrases, such as Cough, pain, turn, etc.)

5:08 pm

JBV

LOL:)

5:08 pm

JBV

my sister-in-law is a nurse and over the years has become very proficient in Spanish (they live in Santa Fe0

5:10 pm

Nef

I used to know how to ask if a person has pain and other short phrases in Russian, Korean, Greek, Hmong, Vietnamese, Ethiopian; but NO Spanish!

5:11 pm

MizHoffle

help with either of the at's please

5:11 pm

MizHoffle

just so I know which comes from which A

5:11 pm

Nef

(I worked on kids with heart defects from around the world once upon a ti**

5:11 pm

JBV

at 5/10 - architectural term - open space or lobby

5:11 pm

Nef

at*** is the upper chambers of the heart

5:11 pm

JBV

(plural form)

5:12 pm

MizHoffle

thanks!

5:12 pm

JBV

and at 7/28 - at + consonant + memory loss is amn****

5:12 pm

Nef

at 7 is another medical te** meaning closure; as in Pulmonary At*****

5:12 pm

JBV

that's funny, Nef, we defined the same word 2 ways

5:12 pm

JBV

and I had no idea about the meaning of at 7

5:13 pm

MizHoffle

thanks again!

5:13 pm

Nef

I *know* both of the ways I described them

5:13 pm

MizHoffle

and both ways were perfect!

5:13 pm

Nef

:-)

5:30 pm

JBV

speaking of hearts, have you heard from RIverdance, we were all worried about her son

5:34 pm

Jellen

Saw her yesterday, but she didn't mention anything about her son's health...

5:35 pm

Jellen

She went to see her son's team play, and they all signed a mini bat for him...

5:46 pm

Kaplan the Magne

That phantom neonate is really annoying.

5:46 pm

Jellen

Hi, Kaplan

5:46 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I'm just barging in- probably something important is being discussed.

5:46 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Hi Jell.

5:47 pm

Jellen

Barge away...I already killed the chat...

5:48 pm

weiik

the chat has a life of its own, hi jell, how is the store progressing

5:48 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Ok. I've been monkeying for 10 minutes with no results in the 4 letter word category

5:48 pm

hpb

I need the e in the second row for nbt. I figure it's an er, but I don't know which one.

5:48 pm

Jellen

5:49 pm

weiik

5:49 pm

Kaplan the Magne

5:50 pm

hpb

5:50 pm

Jellen

With Tim's health the way it is, we'll just have to see...

5:51 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Poor Elmo. He is not a word.

5:51 pm

weiik

5:51 pm

JBV

sorry, had to go check my email - waiting for a reply from Italy

6:51 pm

Kaplan the Magne

6:53 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I think it's really interesting that for some of you it is the next day.

6:53 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Or that my present is yesterday for you.

6:53 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Even though we are here at the same time.

6:53 pm

aknitter

Kaplan the Magne

6:56 pm

Kaplan the Magne

It is not early- it is your yesterday.

6:56 pm

Kaplan the Magne

hi again. I have 85 left and am watching Through the Wormhole with Morgan Freeman. I'm really distracted tonight!

Hi, harp

Hey Jane!

9:35 pm

lbdawger

hi harp

9:35 pm

Good Nef? not heard of that but he is usually great.

Excellent program (on the Science Channel)

Hey, ruru

9:36 pm

LeslieAnn

hey ru

9:36 pm

lynxxx

hi Ru

9:37 pm

Jillyjill

hi ruru

9:37 pm

Nef

harp, we won't be able to make it. I thought I let you know; I can't leave DH and he can't travel that far. We just had a family funeral (his cousins' wife) up north and it was tough. It was a 7 hour trip each way

9:38 pm

lbdawger

sorry to hear that, Nef. had she been ill?

9:38 pm

rururocks

7 hours is like running to the store for groceries in Montana

9:38 pm

harpjane

I figured nef, but I haven't been on much

9:38 pm

lbdawger

not quite, ru, but close

9:38 pm

Jillyjill

ah Nef I'm sorry, I was hoping to see you too, but we understand

9:39 pm

rururocks

I am going to Big Sky and Bozeman this summer

9:39 pm

Jillyjill

you can drive for 7 hours and still be in MT!!

9:39 pm

Nef

I know, ruru; but for someone with MS and new to wheelchairs etc. it is a tough drive. The trip to MT from here is 24-6 hours driving; and would not be pleasant (I'd be the only driver)

9:39 pm

lbdawger

go to the museum of the rockies this time, ru

9:39 pm

rururocks

my point exactly jilly

9:39 pm

harpjane

(well, they have cars like that in rhode island too!) (old joke!)

9:39 pm

Nef

I drove 7 hours and was still in MN, Jilly!

9:40 pm

rururocks

oh.. i get it nef.. I understand

9:40 pm

harpjane

what's the occasion ruru?

9:40 pm

Nef

OOHH! Do go to the Muzeum of the Rockies, ru!

9:40 pm

rururocks

visiting some friends in Bozeman.. they own a home in Big Sky too

9:40 pm

Nef

Harp, I hope you, Jilly and lbd can still get together in spite of my not coming.

9:40 pm

lbdawger

lol, harp...just got the joke! (doh)

9:40 pm

Jillyjill

Yep, it's a two LONG days drive to go across MT from east to west!

9:41 pm

harpjane

jill, you can do it in one, if you're young and nuts!

9:41 pm

rururocks

they have three boys so I am giving it second thoughts though

9:41 pm

Jillyjill

wow ruru that's a pretty expensive area now. I grew up close to Big Sky, Bozo's home

9:41 pm

lbdawger

they'd love dylan!

9:42 pm

Nef

Jilly, it's ONLY 12-14 hours driving straight through across MT. It's another 12 hours across MN and ND or SD

9:42 pm

Jillyjill

well, we're about 6 hours west if you need to 'escape'!! lol

9:42 pm

lbdawger

i haven't been back to bozo since 93

9:42 pm

rururocks

they stopped by here for a few hours and the three kids wore us out

9:42 pm

rururocks

they have soooo much energy ...

9:42 pm

lbdawger

how old are the kids, ru?

9:42 pm

harpjane

If you need to escape go to Yellowstone, it's always nice and quiet there in the summer!

9:42 pm

Jillyjill

Sheesh Jane, I have never been that young and nuts BTW!

9:43 pm

rururocks

5, 7 , 10

9:43 pm

Jillyjill

OMG

9:43 pm

rururocks

I don't know how they do it..

9:43 pm

lbdawger

way too much energy! but they'll be in their own environment, so should be able to burn it off without your help

9:44 pm

Nef

Jilly, I've made that trip every other year up til 2006. And I'm not a young nuts person anymore

9:44 pm

Jillyjill

been way to long for me. my 'baby' turned 24 today...

9:44 pm

rururocks

whoa.

9:44 pm

Jillyjill

non-stop driving Nef?

9:44 pm

rururocks

...er jilli.. that's not a baby anymore

9:45 pm

Nef

A number of times we have done it that way; when there are at least 2 drivers.

9:45 pm

harpjane

Twin Cities to Montana isn't bad. it's exactly 24 hours of driving from Missoula to St. Paul

9:45 pm

Jillyjill

they are always your baby...but I meant my youngest

9:45 pm

rururocks

oh...

9:45 pm

rururocks

my mom doesn't call me my baby

9:46 pm

Jillyjill

lol

9:46 pm

Nef

yep, harp. Have you done it before? (It's longer going through on I-90 than I-94

9:46 pm

lbdawger

maybe next time you can plan on taking the train to whitefish

9:46 pm

Jillyjill

I really hate trying that!

9:47 pm

Jillyjill

Dawg! Great idea...I love traveling on the train

9:47 pm

Nef

lbd, we really tried to find the cheapest way to go. This year it wasn't possible due to medical bills in January (before DH got sick)

9:47 pm

rururocks

.... I hear that train a comin' ...

9:48 pm

lbdawger

i know, nef. but maybe next year or whenever.

9:48 pm

Nef

I love the train; but they didn't have any deals this year

9:48 pm

Nef

I WILL come out and meet up with you; I promise!

9:49 pm

Jillyjill

I used to take my mother back and forth from MT to cA and used to take the train back in the fall....so much fun!

9:49 pm

lbdawger

i've never taken a train, it would seem like a great way to actually see the country

9:50 pm

Jillyjill

It is, I really wish people would be less rushed and take trains, more cost effective than any other travel mode.

9:51 pm

Nef

the one problem is that the train now goes through some of the most beautiful country at night and you get to see most of flat North Dakota and eastern MT during the day

9:51 pm

72 Temple Owl
