the ma6 I learned means "A swamp or bog formed by an accumulation of sphagnum moss, leaves, and decayed matter resembling peat"
1:45 am
gremlinn

the sa7 means "a figure skating jump with a takeoff from a back inside edge and landing on the back outside edge of the opposite foot after one or more rotations in the air"

Hi Haz

3:00 am
Haz1558

Hello! I love the rush of words at the beginning.
3:02 am
lynxxx

as do I - only problem is that half of them 'go missing' as I don't check to see that they have actually entered - I am a lousy typiste
3:03 am
lynxxx

(can't spell either)
3:03 am
Haz1558

That seems to happen to me as well - you're sure you've thought of the word, you remember typing it in, but it isn't there in the word list.
3:03 am
sprite

that makes it hard later on, I guess, lyn - when you remember finding a word that did not register
3:03 am
Sally-catlover

If I see there are only a few words from a particular square, I do like to get it greyed in. So now I have the right column greyed :-))
3:03 am

Happens to me as well Haz and lynxxx

to me too.
And gratz Sally!

3:22 am
Haz1558

Good morning. Soodle.
3:22 am
sprite

but great news, Ata. Your leg must be a lot better already!
3:22 am
Haz1558

Have you any treats lined up for today? (A 309 grid is a good start)
3:22 am
Atalante

well I don't think I'm going to be walking anywhere for the rest of the day ... that was *really* pushing it
3:23 am
Soodle

Hello Haz, Ata, Sally, Lynn, and everybody else.
3:24 am
sprite

I hope you aren't overdoing it too much, but am very happy you are this mobile again.
3:25 am
Atalante

not toooo much :P
3:25 am
sprite

lol
3:26 am
Soodle

3:27 am
Soodle

Sorry. That was just me musing.....
3:27 am
Haz1558

I thought you were maybe starting up a wee chant.
3:28 am
Haz1558

Or else trying to get the right pitch for a hearty rendition of 'Happy Birthday'
3:28 am
lynxxx

hi Soodle
3:29 am
Soodle

Me chanting would be 'ommmmmmmmmmmmm' - and, I am sorry Sprite, but tis a bit early for a hearty rendition of anything. Nope Haz - just the wrong box!!
3:29 am
Sally-catlover

Yay! Got a second 9!
3:30 am
redturtlehead

Happy Birthday Sprite!!!!!!!
3:30 am
lynxxx

Just entered a competition to win tickets to see Creation (Charles Darwin movie). Interesting to read that no distributor has picked it up in US as only 34% believe in evolution
3:30 am
Haz1558

And you got permission to share it?
3:30 am
sprite

my neighbour baby boy is 'talking' beneath my window. He is 7 months old and does the whole 'whaawhaa oo ooo eeeeeee' in all tones. It is as sweet as happy birthday.
3:30 am
sprite

hi red, thank you!
3:30 am
Atalante

34% .. wow .......
3:30 am
Sally-catlover

en 9/66 Haz
3:30 am
lynxxx

morning Red
3:30 am
sprite

oh Soodle, I like the ommm chanting thing, so go right ahead once you are awake enough ;)
3:30 am
redturtlehead

I have a special icon for you! the monkeys spent all night making the cake! hello everyone else.
3:31 am
Haz1558

Oh! The gave permission again was me wondering if you'd got re9/72.
3:31 am
Sally-catlover

Perhaps only 34% of the US population has evolved .... Sorry, only teasing :-)
3:31 am
sprite

aw thank you red! It is great!
3:31 am
Haz1558

Good morning, red.
3:31 am
lynxxx

what a clever icon Red
3:32 am
Sally-catlover

oh sorry Haz, no I already had that one.
3:32 am
sprite

*hunts for the en*
3:32 am
redturtlehead

Morning all. I feel rather un evolved, as it is 4:30 in the morning....
3:33 am
sprite

ouch red, that is still night in my book. Late shift or sleepless or both?
3:33 am
Haz1558

Put on your reading glasses, sprite, and you'll be on the way to finding it.
3:33 am
Sally-catlover

Or eat lots and lots of chocolate :-)
3:34 am
redturtlehead

up for running, I have to eat something first, but its the best time as it's still coolish, 22 degrees C. it feels great!
3:34 am
sprite

brilliant clues, thanks
3:34 am
Haz1558

Or look in one of those funny mirrors in the fairground.
3:34 am
Haz1558

Mind you, I reckon some of the mirrors in ladies changing rooms have the same effect.
3:35 am
sprite

all of them, in my case
3:35 am
rubyfoo

hello again, Happy Birthday, again, Sprite!! May this be a great and healthy year for you!
3:35 am
redturtlehead

We have one mirror at the gym that makes everyone look instantly 10 pounds slimmer, I love it!
3:35 am
Haz1558

Good morning, ruby.
3:35 am
Sally-catlover

Also have you noticed how clothes shrink in the wardrobe?
3:35 am
sprite

hi rubyfoo, thank you :)
3:35 am
Sally-catlover

Ah, ruby, there are two special words in the grid for you today :-)
3:35 am
lynxxx

hi Ruby
3:35 am
Haz1558

I want that mirror.
3:36 am
redturtlehead

It's full length and everything!
3:36 am
sprite

I'll swap you my wardrobe for that mirror
3:37 am
Haz1558

They should get some for dress shops - sales of clothes would soar.
3:37 am
redturtlehead

It's just in the gym, unfortunately the effects are not long lasting!
3:37 am
rubyfoo

uh oh, I'm afraid to look for the words.... Is one of them whine?
3:37 am
sprite

sure would
3:37 am
Sally-catlover

no, but close to your heart ruby
3:37 am
sprite

lol rubyfoo. No, they are very nice words. You love them.
3:38 am
Haz1558

I have visions of people dragging that mirror around with them 'Look, I really am thinner than you think. Look in here!'
3:38 am
redturtlehead

thats wonderful Haz!
3:38 am
Soodle

I think they already have, Haz. I buy stuff, they look ok in the shop window, then when I get them home, they sorta look different... :(
3:38 am
rubyfoo

When I worked for a company that sold mirrors, my friend and I wanted to donate them to all the women who didn't look at themselves full-longth (and especially from the back|) before they went out of the house. A BIG problem in Miami
3:38 am
Soodle

Shop mirror, that is..
3:38 am
rubyfoo

and closet shrinkage, big problem!
3:39 am
rubyfoo

hello soodle and hax and sally
3:39 am
rubyfoo

haz* that is
3:39 am
Haz1558

Re4/4 view mirrors are desperate, such a shock to the system.
3:39 am
Soodle

Hi {{{Rubes}}}, and all recent arrivals.
3:40 am
Soodle

Seeing the back of yourself is a bit like hearing a recording of your own voice. You just don't want to believe that its actra
3:40 am
Soodle

hic actually YOU.
3:41 am
rubyfoo

it is cool this AM so made stuffed chicken and sweet potatoes for din, weeded the garden (a little, lol), watered the tomatoes and made one pot of currant jelly. Now I can watch the Tour in peace
3:41 am
sprite

we once gave people who did a workshop with us a parting gift of a small mirror, telling them it was a picture of their own personal guru.
3:41 am
Sally-catlover

lol sprite
3:41 am
sprite

one guy said to his wife: "Hey, show me yours... wow, you got the same as I!"
3:42 am
Soodle

I am at work, so I better go and do a bit. Have a great birthday Sprite, and I will probably see you all later. Poof
3:42 am
redturtlehead

funny soodle on the own voic ething, it is so strange...
3:42 am
sprite

thank you, Soodle, have a good day at work!
3:43 am
rubyfoo

bye soodle, see you later
3:43 am
Sally-catlover

Found your special words yet, ruby?
3:44 am
Haz1558

My sister and I have exactly the same voice, so when I talk to her I know what I really sound like.
3:44 am
rubyfoo

got the dog one....
3:44 am
sprite

that is funny, Haz. It is always so weird to hear your own voice.
3:44 am
sprite

ruby: the dog oneS I hope?
3:44 am
Sally-catlover

Apparently I sound just like my cousin, to the extent that when we were younger and in the back seat of the car her mother didn't know which of us was speaking.
3:45 am
Haz1558

When we were younger and living at home, people always had to ask which of us was answering the phone - including parents.
3:46 am
sprite

that is amazingly close, if even parents can't make out the difference
3:46 am
Haz1558

It's about the only thing about us that is the same - oh and height.
3:48 am
sprite

Sally that is such a peaceful icon
3:49 am
Sally-catlover

thanks sprite. They really are deep in conversation, aren't they?
3:49 am
sprite

definitely
3:50 am
rubyfoo

1/3 way through, any hints for the 8's or 9's? even first letters would help me find a direction
3:51 am
Atalante

I suppose I should stop staring at te grid and actually enter some words
3:51 am
Sally-catlover

en 8/50, 9/66, 8/50 might be a good place to start.
3:52 am
sprite

I have re9, en9
3:52 am
Sally-catlover

And I have ge 9/78
3:52 am
sprite

and 2x en8 that go with the 9
3:52 am
rubyfoo

I put the monkeys to work!
3:52 am
sprite

woot Sally!
3:53 am
Sally-catlover

ruby, for the 8s think of photographic equipment, or what might happen to you if you ate too much
3:53 am
Sally-catlover

That's for the en 8s
3:53 am
rubyfoo

ty now I can find them!
3:54 am
rubyfoo

wow, and that gave me the l's, too
3:54 am
rubyfoo

ty ty
3:56 am
sprite

thanks for the ge9
3:56 am
Sally-catlover

And for the ge 9, start with the ge 4/7 that is a word for a virus, a bug, then built on it to get a 6,9,7,5
3:56 am
Haz1558

Just back from a phone call from my younger daughter who is sunning herself (with lotion!) in Portugal.
3:57 am
Atalante

ooo lucky her!
3:57 am
Haz1558

I know!
3:58 am
Haz1558

And the older one got engaged on Monday, so she's got her happiness to keep her warm.
3:58 am
sprite

gratz Haz
3:58 am
Atalante

did she know her sister's good news?
3:58 am
Haz1558

Thank you, sprite.
3:59 am
lynxxx

how lovely! congrats - nearly one off your hands permanently!
3:59 am
Haz1558

Yes, L phoned her - the younger one is already planning bridesmaids dresses.
3:59 am
Sally-catlover

Congrats on daughter, Haz.
3:59 am
Atalante

I bet!!! I hope she'll outdo Jordan ...
3:59 am
rubyfoo

hi lynxxx, I didn't see you!
4:00 am
Haz1558

We're really delighted, the young man is very steady and hard-working but with a wicked sense of humour. He's just right for her.
4:00 am
lynxxx

is he a local?
4:00 am
sprite

sounds very very good
4:01 am
Haz1558

He came and asked permission to propose - we threw ourselves at his feet in gratitude.
4:01 am
lynxxx

lol
4:01 am
Sally-catlover

lol Haz!!
4:01 am
Haz1558

He's local, lynxxx, in fact, brother of her best school friend so we know the family well.
4:01 am
sprite

:D
4:02 am
rubyfoo

that's lovely and old-fashioned, so nice compared to all the young people who just live together, even having babies that way
4:02 am
rubyfoo

maybe that's just Francew
4:03 am
lynxxx

this has been a long relationship' then? or have they suddenly just clicked?
4:04 am
Haz1558

They were just friendly for a long time and then they started to look at each other with new eyes a couple of years ago.
4:04 am
Haz1558

And the wonderful thing is that he's a whizz with computers.
4:05 am
Haz1558

We have our own IT support system.
4:05 am
lynxxx

you can swap cake for computer support!
4:06 am
Sally-catlover

Did you have any inkling he was going to propose?
4:06 am
sprite

that seals the deal. Be sure to tell your daughter that even if she will ever feel she has to divorce him,you won't.
4:06 am
Haz1558

Yes. Apparently he refers to us as 'The House of Plenty' (in food terms)
4:06 am
lynxxx

lol
4:06 am
Atalante

I bet he does!
4:07 am
Haz1558

We knew that they wanted to get married, but we weren't quite sure what the timescale was going to be. He made sure she was out on Monday, came trotting in to my husband and blurted out 'I have to talk to you about something'.
4:08 am
Sally-catlover

Oh, did your hearts sink for a moment?
4:08 am
Haz1558

I was in the other room so only heard a murmur of voices.
4:08 am
Sally-catlover

Oh, really old-fashioned then!
4:09 am
Haz1558

Husband's first horrified thought was that he was going to dump her. Then he wondered if he had financial trouble - that could be fixed. Monumental relief to hear that he wanted permission to proose.
4:09 am
Haz1558

*propose.
4:09 am
sprite

*pretends to be cynical but secretly loves the romance*
4:10 am
Sally-catlover

How old is your daughter, Haz?
4:10 am
Haz1558

She's 26, the younger one is 23.
4:11 am
Sally-catlover

How sweet.
4:12 am
Haz1558

So, I'm hoping that they take a little while to just enjoy the thrill of the engagement before they start getting started on wedding arrangements. No date set, but possibly/probably next summer.
4:13 am
sprite

have to be off, things to organise for daughter's last day at elementary school. Thanks all, and have a lovely day/night.
4:13 am
Haz1558

Bye sprite - have a lovely day!
4:13 am
lynxxx

bye Sprite
4:13 am
Sally-catlover

Enjoy the rest of your special day, sprite.
4:14 am
Atalante

she needs a classy glass pumpkin coach
4:14 am
Haz1558

Absolutely.
4:15 am
Atalante

and flowers in the shape of baileys bottles
4:16 am
Haz1558

I thought heart-shaped with cupid's arrows through them.
4:16 am
Atalante

as long as they are pink with many sparkles
4:16 am
lynxxx

With suggestions like that, I am sure she will do the opposite and have a classically elegant wedding!
4:17 am
Haz1558

Pink. sparkles and doves to be released at opportune moments.
4:17 am
Haz1558

I think a light-up tiara might be nice.
4:18 am
Haz1558

One that played 'Here comes the bride' as she was going up the aisle.
4:18 am
Atalante

ooooo yes. you need to watch that communion programme again for ideas
4:18 am
Haz1558

Somebody's bound to have thought of it. And we'll need to get started on the tanning programme, there's a lot of colour to be achieved.
4:19 am
Sally-catlover

And don't forget you have to outdo the bride Haz.
4:20 am
Haz1558

I've already been on websites for mother of the bride outfits but they're so understated, I doubt if they'll be appropriate.
4:20 am
Atalante

I doubt it
4:20 am
Sally-catlover

I think the words you are looking for are short, skin-tight and shiny.
4:21 am
Haz1558

Shiny. Very shiny.
4:21 am
Atalante

leopardskin maybe
4:21 am
Sally-catlover

Shiny leopardskin?
4:21 am
Haz1558

Can they incorporate fairylights into clothes?
4:21 am
Atalante

fake pink loepardskin
4:22 am
Atalante

absolutely
4:22 am
Sally-catlover

Ah! With spangles sown on, that would be good - and don't forget Spangle must have a matching outfit.
4:22 am
Soodle

candle
4:22 am
Haz1558

If they can't have fairylights incorporated, maybe get luminous material?
4:22 am
Soodle

oooh sorry
4:22 am
Atalante

oh yes, I hope Spangle will have an official role
4:22 am
Haz1558

We'll get Spangle dyed to match the bridesmaids.
4:22 am
Soodle

(Just nipped back on T-break...)
4:22 am
Sally-catlover

Don't be - I didn't have that one.
4:23 am
Sally-catlover

Spangle could be a bridesmaid.
4:23 am
Haz1558

We're thinking ring-bearer.
4:24 am
Lizsark

hello babblers :)
4:24 am
Atalante

she could carry a little basket in her mouth with the rings in
4:24 am
Haz1558

Hello, Liz - your island is in the grid!
4:24 am
lynxxx

hi Liz!
4:24 am
Atalante

LIZZZ!
4:25 am
Lizsark

so it is Haz :))
4:25 am
Sally-catlover

So how would you like Spangle died lilac and sparkly to match the bridesmaids, Haz?
4:25 am
Lizsark

who's getting married?
4:25 am
Atalante

Spangle would look gorgeous!
4:25 am
Atalante

Haz's daughter
4:25 am
Haz1558

My older daughter, Liz. We're arranging the details now. Jordan needn't think that she's the only one can arrange weddings.
4:26 am
Lizsark

Ooo congratulations Haz :)
4:26 am
Lizsark

I could lend you Toyah for entertainment if you like LOL
4:26 am
Atalante

*snerk*
4:26 am
Haz1558

Thank you! We're delighted.
4:28 am
Haz1558

Going to take a quick break - back later.
4:29 am

Bye Haz :)

yay, that's better
4:52 am
Kallia

what is chrome ata?
4:52 am
Atalante

it's google's browser - it's a lovely thing, very quick
4:53 am
Kallia

ah yes I have heard of it
4:53 am
Sally-catlover

Must be off. Be back later to finish.
4:53 am
Kallia

bye sally
4:57 am
Atalante

I am so bored of the news today. You'd think nothing was happening in the world apart from police trying to find this guy in Northumberland
4:58 am
Kallia

thing is there is nothing new to report, so they keep on repeating the same old stuff....gotta fill the time
4:59 am
Atalante

soooooooo boring!
4:59 am
Kallia

yep
5:00 am

NBT! exactly!

NBT exactly? how can you have NBT unexactly??!

I usually have 2 on some of them
5:04 am
Lizsark

Ata - I just downloaded Google Chrome too. Not sure I like it yet
5:05 am
Atalante

chrome is *fab*. it's certainly quicker than most others. you'll get used to it quickly!
5:05 am
Lizsark

I've been using Firefox for about a year now but its so slow...
5:06 am
Atalante

chrome kicks the backside of firefox, speed wise. ffox does have more functionality, but chrome is quicker and doesn't crash so much!
5:06 am
Lizsark

Right I'm going downstairs in the hope that I will find the ironing fairies have been whilst I've been babbling
5:07 am
Atalante

looool good luck!!
5:07 am

we don't have air-cons and are OK for a couple of days of that heat, but the 3rd day the house is pretty unbearable - so I sympathise

Good evening, everyone. Sorry you guys in the north are having such a hard time in the heat while we are so chilly.

9:35 am

ruru -- i am a tough gal to shop with. i usually have a rather specific idea of what i want, then its more of a hunt to find it, as opposed to just shopping.

it was his aunt's funeral today. I hate funerals, to the point of being utterly phobic about them, and any I go to causes a lot of emotional damage afterwards. I've met his aunt once. He's been going on and on about how I should have been there, how he would have *loved* me to be tehre etc. Gah! I've told him so many times I do NOT go to funerals!

2:31 pm

Tim is trying to rest...hard to get comfortable, and he's not taking as many pain meds as he probably should
2:51 pm
Dorens

can you sneak in another for him without his acquiescence, or is that too sneaky for you?
2:51 pm
Jellen

He's too alert for that, I think...
2:52 pm
Dorens

well, hope you can talk some sense into him then. i'm not a huge fan of pain meds, but he needs to get comfortable
2:53 pm
Kazzer99

we had a similar situation and the person who would take his full pain killers sai if he did he felt like he had given in to the disease - it was hisbit of independence
2:54 pm
Jellen

Yes, Tim's got an independent streak...
2:55 pm
Dorens

guess that's understandable then
2:55 pm
Jellen

Plus, he's stressed because his mom and sister are coming for the weekend...

5:39 pm
Uneaixoise

sorry, Peri, was reading articles at tennis.com :-)
5:40 pm
Uneaixoise

Jellen, hope Tim's able to get comfortable -- and re mom and sis coming, that can be incredibly stressful for the patient . . . bummer
5:41 pm
Uneaixoise

i remember reading years ago about how much a patient's temp rises during visits -- jeez!
5:41 pm
periwinkle

that is why hopsitals try to limit the number of visitor at one time
5:42 pm
Uneaixoise

5:47 pm
Uneaixoise

jellen LOL
5:47 pm
lynxxx

Jellen. That makes it hard then. Why don't you take advantage that there is someone to attend to Tim needs and takes some breaks/get out of the house while they are there. You need to take some breaks too!
5:48 pm
Nef

Seriously Jellen; you will have to tell them that he needs rest at times.
5:49 pm
Jellen

It is ra 4/4 of me to finish big grids. On the babble sc 5/12,I would rate this medium difficult.I made a little de4/5 in this la 6/24 than la 5/14 grid, but not going to finish so I will le 4/5 a hand with a story of clues. I was all ge4/6 up to watch some fireworks outside my window on the 4th of July, but I could not because of my dog. His na 4/5 is Jack. He did not gr5/14 me the pleasure of doing that.Usually have a gr5/16 old time on the 4th of July, but not this year. I ca 4/5 believe how much fireworks sc5/12 my dog got on the 4th of July. He acts all ma 5/16 and barks when it comes to other animals,but not when it comes to fireworks.My dog is not an ar 6/21 fan of fireworks and doesn't ca 4/5 for them. Loud noises te 4/5 to sc 5/12 Jack. He ac 5/14 so sc 5/12ed on the 4th of July. There were a lot of fireworks in my ar 4/4. The FWs were driving him insa4/4 and he was all up in ar 4/5 over them. He was so sc 5/14ed that he made a huge ma 4/9 on my floor with me 5/14. Then he re5/14 his dinner.I think they hurt is ea 4/4 and gave him an ea7/36.I wonder if fireworks also look en 7/36ed to him. It took him a long time to ca4/6 down when they were over but he finally did get ca 6/24. Jack ca 4/6 up on my lap and stayed on my lap for over an hour.I wanted to take a picture of the fireworks with a ca6/24,but I couldn't with him in my lap. I think he had nightma5/12 about fireworks because he didn't sleep too well that night. I hope they didn't sc4/5 him for life. Now my hubby is beginning to make his sa 4/5 old snide re 7/48 about Babble which means he wants the computer.I'm going to surre4/5er the computer to him. My story en 4/5 here. I know it was a la 4/5 story but I couldn't think of anything el 4/4 to write about. Now I am going to go ch 4/10 on some dessert. Then I am going to goto my co 5/12 bed and watch Dorothy,from The Wizard of Oz, travel to the Em7/36 city.Goodnight babblers!
