OK on stairs, though, but still leaves me breathless. Maybe it has to do with the fractured sternum from 2 yrs ago.....
1:50 am
dizgrannie
same as the GI 7
1:50 am
jillibus
well, maybe getting those tomatoes will get you some muscles too.
1:50 am

Marmar
Hi all! Ruby, I had a bout with (what the doctor called) Fibromyalgia over the last two years. Every movement hurt and it got to the point when I just saw a flight of stairs I had to climb, I would cry. My muscles tone was gone. I read alot about MBT shoes, got some and they have helped tremendously! My legs have never looked so good and I was always involved in athletics my entire life. My Fibro symptoms are 90% gone now, don't know what to credit, but for muscle toneing, the MBT's are GREAT!
2:03 am
gremlinn
I think we need more trains.
2:03 am
rubyfoo
that are MBT shoes? I have a dear friend in the South with FM and she is in absolute misery!
2:04 am
gremlinn
Especially trains of thought, because a lot of people lose theirs.
2:04 am
sandyloo
what are MBT shoes marm, my mother suffers from sore feet and its something to do with her nerves in the feet
2:04 am
rubyfoo
I don't have leg pain, just breathlessness and fatigue
2:04 am
rubyfoo
sandy, that sounds like the same problem
2:04 am
flosey
ah grem, like the train travel was back a few (or several) years - with really great dining cars
2:05 am
rubyfoo
my train of though has de-railed!
2:05 am
flosey
good one ruby
2:05 am
sandyloo
I am going to google those shoes
2:05 am
rubyfoo
I love travelling by train. Paris is less than 4 hrs away by train, more than 5 by car (not that I ever go)
2:05 am
Marmar
Well, if you google them, there are hundreds of testimonials about dramatic improvement of many ailments and pains: leg, foot, back, neck. They have a comprehensive website as well. They are pretty pricey, but they are the only shoes I wear just about.
2:05 am
sandyloo
I love trains also Ruby
2:06 am
rubyfoo
what does MBT stand for?
2:06 am
Marmar
Masai Barefoot Technology. They are a Swiss company.
2:06 am
Marmar
I am saving up for a pair of sandals (200€!)
2:07 am

thank you, marmar, I will tell my friend and look into them for me
2:07 am

Does Australia, with its vast distances, have good train service?

sandyloo
Ruby, I have been on the Indian Pacific which goes right across australia
2:08 am
Marmar
Also, don't buy them from online discounters, there are fakes being sold under the same name which are NOT the same and can actually do harm to the body. Also, Sketchers and Reebok have a copycat version, don't know about thier quality.
2:08 am
sandyloo
It was fabulous with sit down meals and sleepers etc
2:08 am
rubyfoo
you may just have done a great service to many of us!!
2:09 am
sandyloo
so marm, where do we get them , do you have a bonifide web site we can go to
2:11 am
sandyloo
I really have to go so I will check the chog later
2:13 am
Marmar
Oh I hope so. I love mine and the results I have gotten. There are "authorized sellers" listed on their website. I'm looking for the webaddress...
2:14 am

It keeps sending me automatically to the German site but I think the main site is www.mbt.com

3:07 am
Sally-catlover
Good morning Douglas. Probably, but only just started, so now wondering if I have this particularly tile-greying babblet.
3:08 am
Christine
J.C. - ling time no see.
3:08 am
Christine
or loooong time.
3:10 am
Haz1558
Good morning/afternoon all. Douglas is going to keep us in the dark about the tile-greyer. My money is on rh5.
3:10 am
Douglas
In the northwest corner
3:11 am
Sally-catlover
The N? Have that, but didn't think of it particularly as a babblet. My money was on the Y.
3:11 am
Haz1558
I don't think it's a babblet either. Not boding well, Douglas.
3:11 am
Haz1558
(How much did you bet, Sally?)
3:11 am
joshuavorbis
the y and the rh5 are babblets
3:12 am
joshuavorbis
well, i suppose not very well-known ones
3:13 am
Sally-catlover
Not a lot Haz :-)
3:13 am
Haz1558
Good, I'd hate for us to be impoverished over the head of Douglas.
3:13 am
Sally-catlover
I know have all the single word tiles except the C in the right column, so I assumed it was one of those.
3:13 am
lynxxx
Hello everyone
3:14 am
Haz1558
Hello, lynxxx.
3:14 am
Sally-catlover
Hi lynxxx
3:15 am
Douglas
That n isn't a Babblet?!?
3:15 am
Haz1558
No, I don't think it's ever been called a babblet.
3:15 am
lynxxx
no it's just a boring accounting thing
3:16 am
Sally-catlover
Perhaps it's a British thing, Douglas, but that's a word I would use in Real Life as opposed to Babble. (not that Babble isn't real)
3:16 am
Douglas
Hmm...maybe I should start over...
3:16 am
Sally-catlover
Whereas I can't say I've ever used the Y word, nor drunk out of the RH
3:21 am
Haz1558
I think it shows remarkable resilience on our part that we're back at babble after yesterday's horror.
3:21 am
Sally-catlover
Yes, it was horrendous wasn't it.
3:22 am
lynxxx
It was a doozie wasn't it...I finished and made sure I renewed my subscription to Morewords
3:22 am
Haz1558
It was. At one point I thought I was having hallucinations or a bad dream or something.
3:23 am
Haz1558
There would have been no prospect of me completing it without extensive use of resources. And you can guess which resources!
3:23 am
Christine
Do you think Morewords hires someone to make-up those words? It got to the point I stpped looking for the definitions.
3:24 am
Haz1558
I wondered if much cluing happened later on in the day, when I was on, people seemed to be too shellshocked to be asking for much. Definitely a mental health warning grid.
3:24 am
Sally-catlover
Same here Haz. I did finish, but didn't get that nice glow of satisfaction at having done all or most of it without resources!
3:24 am
Haz1558
Hello, jmc.
3:24 am
Sally-catlover
And hi jmc.
3:25 am
Haz1558
Never mind a glow of satisfaction, your sanity was intact.
3:25 am
Sally-catlover
Only just. I really didn't enjoy yesterday's.
3:25 am
jmcnrick
i was happy that i got 1/3 of yesterday's grid and stayed out of the pb
3:26 am
Haz1558
No, I finished out of a sense of pigheadedness.
3:26 am
Sally-catlover
Yees, what my husband calls obstinate and I call determined.
3:27 am
jmcnrick
i call it disciplined!
3:27 am
Sally-catlover
That's a good alternative, jmc!
3:28 am
Karys
hello everyone... I didn't finish, I sat here at 11.30 pm with Morewords and thought... WHAT am I doing, this is supposed to be fun !
3:28 am
jmcnrick
i am feeling especially undisciplined these days
3:28 am
jmcnrick
hi karys
3:28 am
jmcnrick
i agree that is why i never look at my score
3:29 am
Haz1558
Hello, Karys! Nice to see you.
3:29 am
Karys
But then, I don't seem to have time to finish so often these days.
3:29 am
Sally-catlover
I used to do that Karys, but now I just walk away if it's late. It is only a game, I tell myself. But I did finish yesterday's at intervals during the day. Was out in the evening so wanted to finish before then.
3:29 am
jmcnrick
and in to the pb for me after staying out all yesterday
3:29 am
Karys
Hi Haz, you too, although I see you most days !
3:29 am
jmcnrick
come join me karys *links arms*
3:30 am
Haz1558
Ah, you've become a silent observer, Karys?
3:30 am
jmcnrick
any coffee?
3:30 am
Sally-catlover
I'll make you fresh jmc.
3:31 am
jmcnrick
i am already fresh!
3:31 am
Haz1558
There's no doubt that joining in chat does slow down the finding of words - not that it seems to bother the speed merchants!
3:31 am
Sally-catlover
And enough for Karys too I see.
3:31 am
Karys
I have, I am in and out so much I hvan't time to keep saying 'hello' and 'goodbye', and it seems so rude not too !!
3:31 am
Karys
Please, may I have tea ?
3:32 am
jmcnrick
i have even been known to lurk although i think some would be surprised to hear that
3:32 am
Sally-catlover
Sure, will put a tray there.
3:32 am
Sally-catlover
I usually try to get the first half or first easy part without chatting.
3:32 am
Haz1558
I think most people have time when they don't join in the conversation.
3:32 am
Karys
It is different now that Husband has retired.
3:33 am
Haz1558
Does he keep whirling you away on days out?
3:33 am
Haz1558
Or does he have you chained to the kitchen sink?
3:33 am
jmcnrick
lol with that rule sally i would chat right away most time
3:34 am
jmcnrick
ha! pb for the nearly perfect haz!
3:34 am
Haz1558
Nearly perfect? When did the element of doubt creep in?
3:34 am
jmcnrick
looks like the pb is going to be as active as it was yesterday!
3:34 am
Sally-catlover
lol jmc. It's a self-imposed one, sometimes ignored (like today when I haven't actually reached half).
3:35 am
Haz1558
Must remember not to mention time units of more than 24 hours...
3:35 am
jmcnrick
i am stumped at 12 words today! *sigh* babble keeps me humble
3:35 am
Karys
Something like that Haz, it seems the only strutured part of the day is breakfast time, which is when I try to do as much as I can. The rest of the day I just do dribs and drabs as I pass the puter.
3:36 am
Haz1558
And do you like it, or would you like to be more structured?
3:36 am
Karys
No, I like the oddness of days !
3:37 am
Sally-catlover
I don't ever mind people not saying hallo or goodbye Karys, what I do find surprising is when someone just appears and asks for a clue without even a please.
3:37 am
jmcnrick
that does seem a bit abrupt sally
3:37 am
Karys
As an 'observer' I get very cross about that too Sally !
3:38 am
Haz1558
That's good, then. It would be horrible if you really wanted to be all organised but had to go with the flow.
3:38 am
Sally-catlover
I do ignore such demands :-)
3:38 am
jmcnrick
but i try to imagine that they are down to one last word and have to go do something else really really soon
3:38 am
Karys
I think I have what is called a 'butterfly' mind.
3:39 am
jmcnrick
and th** i try to model good manners
3:39 am
Haz1558
There's bound to be a more flattering term, Karys. If pigheaded can be translated into disciplined, we can get something nicer than a butterfly mind.
3:39 am
jmcnrick
ooo karys that totally discribes me! ty ty ty i never heard that before
3:39 am
lynxxx
that is charming Karys (must remember that for me)
3:39 am
Karys
Still a 'please' would be nice.
3:39 am
jmcnrick
active mind
3:40 am
jmcnrick
but i like butterfly
3:40 am
Sally-catlover
Multi-tasking mind?
3:40 am
Haz1558
Maybe nicer isn't the right term - more flattering to the joys of butterflydom.
3:40 am
Karys
Oh, I like that jmc.
3:40 am
jmcnrick
oo that is good too sally
3:40 am
Sally-catlover
Think I have a caterpillar mind this morning.
3:41 am
Haz1558
There you go - I knew we'd come up with a new improved actively multi-tasking description.
3:41 am
jmcnrick
that is what i usually say -- i can only multi-task on 10 things at one time -- the 11th kills me
3:42 am
Karys
Well this mind has to flit from Babble, to making a fish pie, to getting some of my quilting done, not forgetting I must pop into the garden.
3:42 am
jmcnrick
a fish pie? i never had one of those
3:42 am
Haz1558
Funnily enough, my mind never strays to quilting.
3:42 am
Sally-catlover
mmm fish pie.
3:43 am
Karys
I do really need some shopping too, but I will ring said husband and he can do that.
3:43 am
Sally-catlover
Nor mine, though it does often stray to food.
3:43 am
jmcnrick
i think about quilting and how i am going to doit when i retire if i ever retire which i doubt
3:43 am
Karys
That comes as no surprise to me Haz !
3:43 am
Haz1558
You know me so well!
3:44 am
Karys
Fish Pie has come into later life for me jmc.
3:44 am
jmcnrick
describe it to me please
3:46 am
Karys
Pieces of as many bits of fish you can logically get hold of, cooked and mixed with a sauce and a few bits of veg. covered with mashed potato and baked.
3:46 am
Sally-catlover
Basically, mixed white fish, can add prawns if you like, in modicum of white sauce. Mashed potato on top, cheese on that if you like. Bung it in the oven till brown on top.
3:46 am
Karys
Tweaked to you own desires.
3:46 am
jmcnrick
oo so a fish shepards pie
3:46 am
Sally-catlover
Yes jmc
3:47 am
jmcnrick
sounds tasty if i can use shrimp and salmon
3:47 am
Sally-catlover
I sometimes add tiny bits of bacon.
3:47 am
jmcnrick
working on liking talapia
3:47 am
Sally-catlover
You can add what you like jmc, that's the beauty of it.
3:47 am
jmcnrick
oo bacon is just the thing it needed!
3:47 am
Karys
A little smoked fish adds flavour.
3:47 am
jmcnrick
never thought of cheese with fish
3:47 am
Sally-catlover
And sweetcorn if I have it.
3:48 am
jmcnrick
sigh and here i am facing another day of rice
3:48 am
lshult
fish pie, also known as fisherman's pie (yes jm, like shepherds pie)
3:48 am
lynxxx
anchovies too?
3:48 am
Sally-catlover
I like the cheese on top.
3:48 am
rubyfoo
hello again
3:48 am
jmcnrick
hi ishult
3:48 am
lshult
afternoon all
3:48 am
Karys
I chopped up the stalks of a little bit of broccoli too.
3:48 am
Sally-catlover
Think anchovies would be too strong and salty.
3:48 am
lynxxx
hi Ishult & Ruby
3:48 am
Haz1558
Hello, Ishult, ruby.
3:49 am
jmcnrick
just a few anchovies
3:49 am
Karys
Hello Ishult and ruby
3:49 am
lshult
never liked anchovies!!
3:49 am
Karys
I don't like anchovies
3:49 am
jmcnrick
i did not until about three years ago
3:50 am
joshuavorbis
fireworks
3:50 am
Haz1558
Poor anchovies, the only fish deemed unworthy of fish pie.
3:50 am
lynxxx
even in a Caesar?
3:50 am
Karys
I have only recently learned to like olives !
3:50 am
lynxxx
Congrats Josh!
3:50 am
jmcnrick
i bought some anchovie stuff olives by accident and was amazed
3:50 am
lshult
too salty, too fishy!!!
3:50 am
jmcnrick
whoo hoo joshua
3:50 am
Karys
Well done Josh !!
3:50 am
Sally-catlover
Now I chop anchovies and broccoli and add to pasta. Very tasty.
3:50 am
joshuavorbis
this one was tricky, but not like yesterday's
3:51 am
rubyfoo
that sounds wonderful! I love anchovies but rinse them to remove some of the saltiness, only thought of that last year
3:51 am
Haz1558
Nothing has been like yesterday's for a long time.
3:51 am
rubyfoo
slow learner
3:51 am
jmcnrick
my son ha*** olives until he got desperate in Guatemala for food -- he learned to like a lot of things he "ha***" before
3:51 am
rubyfoo
fish pie sounds wonderful!
3:51 am
Sally-catlover
If you cook them a little with the broccoli, ruby (and hallo), while you are cooking the pasta, then stir it all together and add parmesan. Very good instant meal.
3:51 am
joshuavorbis
anyone need a clue or two?
3:52 am
rubyfoo
anchovy-stuffed olives are my faves, and not bad in a drink with vodka and water
3:52 am
lshult
could use clues for the biggies?
3:52 am
Sally-catlover
Oh yes please could you give me the stats only for the C in the right column.
3:52 am
rubyfoo
how about the 9 and 10, joshua (and hello, smartie!)
3:52 am
jmcnrick
i will try them in my next martini
3:52 am
rubyfoo
hello ishult, jmc, haz and sally
3:53 am
jmcnrick
*wonders if she can take a martini on the plane from the airport in brussells*
3:53 am
joshuavorbis
if you are iffy or indecisive about something, you are re*****nt + yerba mate **a + past tense
3:53 am
joshuavorbis
+ past tense for the 10
3:53 am
rubyfoo
when I went to London on Easyjet, I brought a beer on board and got a severe talking-to from the flight attendant!
3:55 am
jmcnrick
ty joshua
3:55 am
rubyfoo
I drank it anyway.....
3:55 am
rubyfoo
I don't get the re clue....
3:55 am
Karys
Thank you for that Josh, and now I will go and attack the fish pie, bye everyone, good to chat !!
3:56 am
Sally-catlover
I did :-) and thanks joshua.
3:56 am
jmcnrick
no i know i am not suppose to take alcohol on the plane -- i will buy multiple jack daniels instead now that they only take credit cards on the planes
3:56 am
jmcnrick
bye karys pop out again soon!
3:56 am
Haz1558
Bye Karys.
3:56 am
joshuavorbis
i am re*****nt to give you all my money because i need it to spend for my own things
3:56 am
Sally-catlover
Bye Karys. Have a good day.
3:57 am
Haz1558
ruby, first find the re6/24 - then put the past tense of consumed food for the 9, make it a proper past tense for the 10.
3:57 am
rubyfoo
bye karys
3:58 am
rubyfoo
aaah, that's my problem, don't have the re6!
3:58 am
rubyfoo
putting monkeys to work
3:58 am
rubyfoo
got it, ty everybody
3:59 am
Sally-catlover
It was the 6 you were given the clue for. I am re****ant to give you money
3:59 am
Haz1558
Well done!
3:59 am
rubyfoo
I thought I tried that! I guess not... :(
3:59 am
lshult
ty, got the re8,9 & 10....whats the other 8?
4:00 am
Haz1558
gu8 - along the same lines at the end.
4:01 am
Haz1558
gu8 - past tense of gu7.
4:01 am
lshult
got it, thanks
4:01 am
Haz1558
You're welcome.
4:02 am
Sally-catlover
Thought you'd gone to sleep there ruby.
4:02 am
lshult
oops .....sorry
4:02 am
Haz1558
No problem. Now I must take a break and try to bring some order to the house. Ishult is taking over the clues for a while...
4:03 am
Sally-catlover
The last one doesn't wor, ishult, but there are two anagrams of it which do!
4:03 am
Sally-catlover
tsk. wor -> work
4:04 am
rubyfoo
I was looking up gu6 eeeew
4:05 am
rubyfoo
nice anagrams, sally
4:05 am
rubyfoo
I just spent 1/2 hr looking for eggplants and zucchini which husband bought yesterday. He had put them in the pantry and I thought I had thrown them away.
4:06 am
rubyfoo
making ratatouille today
4:06 am
lshult
I make the best ratatouille
4:07 am
Sally-catlover
I like ratatouille - lots of garlic.
4:07 am
rubyfoo
every woman here has her own recipe. Mine is OK, but not great!
4:07 am
rubyfoo
what's your secret, ishult?
4:07 am
jmcnrick
mmmm ratatouille
4:07 am
rubyfoo
one neighbor cooks each part separately and with different spices
4:08 am
rubyfoo
do you put flour on the vegetables before you saute them?
4:09 am
lexi
when lickety is down, where does one go for clues?
4:09 am
jmcnrick
never thought about flouring the veggies
4:10 am
jmcnrick
some one usually posts them lexi
4:10 am
Sally-catlover
You could look in babanon, sometimes people post clues there, or gremlinn usually has them in his profile.
4:10 am
lshult
no real secret, I throw every thing in together (Zucinni, Eggplant, Green pepperts, onions), plenty of garlic, salt pepper, chopped tomatoes, tomato paste and a couple of Bay leaves. Cook really well.
4:10 am
rubyfoo
I've never done it that way, but I guess it changes the taste a little. I usually just saute what I can and then throw it all in a big pan and hope for the best. I'm not a dilligent cook any more
4:10 am
lynxxx
have a look on Babblers Anon, link under Lexi
4:10 am
jmcnrick
actually other than garlic and onion i don't saute anything
4:11 am
jmcnrick
lots of garlic.
4:11 am
rubyfoo
hello lynxxxx
4:11 am
rubyfoo
I like to read recipes for ideas, but then don't follow them

gremlinn usually has one, kim
5:27 am

Down to last two - fe 5/20 and ta 6/18 any clues please
5:27 am
Sally-catlover
fe5/20 - throw your dog a stick and say this.
5:28 am
City 17 dweller
ta6/18 ... tell on
5:29 am
gran
Thanks for fe 5/20 - got the ta - tell on. Are there two ta 6/18
5:30 am
Chris P
yes, gran. slang word for potato
5:30 am
City 17 dweller
I'm not using a list, gran, sorry.
5:30 am
Sally-catlover
I only have that one, but don't have all the Ts.
5:31 am
City 17 dweller
thanks for that, Chris :)
5:31 am
gran
Thanks and finished
5:33 am
Chris P
like your comment about the life raft city, in your profile. Reminds me of someone once saying the babble theme was the Eagles 'Hotel California' - you can check out any time you want, but you can never leave.
5:34 am
City 17 dweller
lol, Chris, so true ... I almost gave up babbling once before, on the principle that I was spending too much time online, but I seem to have, er, backslid ;)
5:35 am
Chris P
I've tried so many times to walk away, even if for a few days, but the only time I manage it is when I'm on holiday. I'm so sad!
5:37 am
City 17 dweller
*grins* ... at least we can say it's a cerebral pastime, and just sort of gloss over the 'addicted' aspect.
5:38 am
Sally-catlover
I'm not addicted. I give it up every day.
5:39 am
City 17 dweller
lol, Sally
5:40 am
City 17 dweller
I'm actually okay if I can't get to play every day, but if I open it in the morning, and it looks like a nice big grid and then something happens to keep me away from the computer... agony!
5:40 am
Chris P
and if I start - I have to finish
5:42 am
Sally-catlover
I'm getting better at not having to finish. If it's late and I'm tired, I walk away and go to bed. One night I was sitting here trying to finish and falling asleep at the keyboard, and I thought this is stupidl It's only a game. So now I walk away if it's late.
5:43 am
Chris P
you're much better than me sally - I just can't do it. far too anal retentive, I think
5:43 am
City 17 dweller
Me too, Sally... I used to be like Chris, but it stopped being as much fun to play, so I weaned myself off the 'ranking' bug and now just enjoy the grid.
5:44 am
City 17 dweller
It's okay Chris... you get to describe yourself as a completionist around here ;)
5:45 am
Chris P
aw - you're just trying to make me feel better!
5:46 am
Lilecama
Hello everyone. Just reading your chat.... and the 'ranking bug'.... Please tell me HOW to ween yourself off having to finish and climbing in the rankings? I'm SO stuck on it that I even have this log-in name AND another one (pro). I use this one if I'm not sure I can finish...!! And if I do, then I type in ALL the words in the Pro log-in.... it is SO sad....HELP!!
5:46 am
Chris P
I'm sorry - but you're a lost cause Lilecama!!
5:47 am
Lilecama
LOL!!! well thanks for that. At least I know now....
5:48 am
City 17 dweller
LOL Lilecama, that is dedicated babbling
5:49 am
Sally-catlover
Anything which gets in the way of your normal life is an addiction, lilecama, at least that's what I told myself. I just thought, as I said, this is stupid. I left it and went to bed, and you know what? No-one died, no-one except me noticed. The rankings are really really not important. After all, if you are away you will drop in the rankings through no fault of your own. Also, if it's a really huge grid I often don't finish just because of the time available.
5:49 am
Lilecama
ah! dedicated is not a word that would come to my mind - but thanks city!
5:50 am
hydra
Hello everyone. Does anyone know what the ten letter word begins with? And has anyone posted any stats?
5:51 am
City 17 dweller
Gremlinn has a list... I think the 10 is an RE but don't have it yet
5:51 am
Lilecama
yeah, Sally - I KNOW all of this.... but you see I DO know that I have'nt finished. and I am Very Vain and like to see me somewhere in the rankings - and then, of course, the inbred competative element of having to be the best in the class if you want your daddy's approval.... sigh.... maybe I need therapy... ;)
5:51 am
Sally-catlover
The 10 letter is re 10/91, and is pt of re 9/66.
5:52 am
hydra
I long ago stopped beating myself up for not finishing. It wasn't worth the pain! Thanks, Sally.
5:52 am

hydra
Yes please, Sally!

Lilecama, I watch the points go up in place of my 'babble' satisfaction... that way I can play most of every grid, finishing when I get the chance but not getting crazy if I can't come back to it.
5:53 am
Lilecama
*smiles* hey a buddy! what shall we do Chris?
5:53 am
Lilecama
btw de6/30 is a silly word
5:53 am
Sally-catlover
Start with the re 6/24: I am sometimes re****ant to give a clue. Then add what you did to your breakfast, then pt that.
5:53 am
Chris P
go to therapy together?
5:54 am
Sally-catlover
And also pt the re 6 you started with to give you re 8/55
5:54 am
City 17 dweller
Thanks Sally :)
5:54 am
hydra
Thanks very much!
5:54 am
City 17 dweller
I'd given up trying to extend that one, too
5:55 am
Sally-catlover
np
5:55 am
Sally-catlover
Someone else clued it earlier.
5:55 am
hydra
I've got the 9 but not the 10. It won't go plural.
5:55 am
Sally-catlover
Not plural, past tense
5:55 am
hydra
Oh! It's past tense. Got it now.
5:55 am
Lilecama
Well, I don't as yet go crazy, city, altho I do try and catch up and spend way too much time behind the screen in doing so.... Suppose it is mad in some way.
5:56 am
Lilecama
Chris.... I'll take you up on that!!
5:56 am
hydra
Well, with 97 left, I'd better do some work. *poof*
5:58 am
Lilecama
*waves to hydra with admiration for being able to just LEAVE!!!*

5:59 am
City 17 dweller
LOL, I'm with Chris on this ... you're a lost cause!
6:00 am
Lilecama
oh, well, at least I've got a lost cause friend together with me, eh Chris?
6:01 am
Chris P
absolutely Lilecama
6:06 am
Lilecama
oooh chris - you're up at 1028!! II was nearly up there with you, but then had to go on holiday. So I've just dropped 20 points.... WHat do you think... get up to 1030, take a screen shot and then drop the addiction?
6:07 am
City 17 dweller
I have to admit I've kept some of my associated rituals - I can't list until I'm below 30 words left, regardless of grid size
6:07 am
Chris P
I've been at 1030 before, but can't seem to rest till I get there again!
6:08 am
City 17 dweller
It's a nice place to visit, but I wouldn't want to live there...
6:09 am
Lilecama
Yeah, I have my 'rules' too. Yours seem to be pretty strict tho'. I allow Lickety to help me when I'm over half way...
6:10 am
Lilecama
Lol City! I can understand that. Too much pressure i suppose. Good for you Chris, having been there. I'd like to have a peek - just once.... one day..... after HOURS of babbling.... ;)
6:10 am
Chris P
my only 'rule' is that if I start, I have to finish
6:11 am
Sally-catlover
lol you two! I have fireworks and am off now. Any clues needed?
6:11 am
Lilecama
yep, that one counts for me too....
6:11 am

Lilecama
you can eat your sandwich in there then!
6:25 am
Lilecama
oops - and I'll come and join you!
6:31 am
City 17 dweller
Care for half a sandwich? Chicken and raw red onion, I'm afraid - not to everyone's taste.
6:32 am
Lilecama
thanks city! skip the raw onion and I'll chomp along with you.
6:32 am
City 17 dweller

you can find Gremlin in the rankings...
6:45 am
City 17 dweller
he's in the 1030 range in the rankings, Sandie, or he's been in the chog earlier, so you can get to his profile from viewing the chat log.
6:46 am

Ah thanks for that.
6:46 am

yes. we live in a townhouse with no yard, so nowhere to hang things to dry. plus, summers here are so humid, things would take FOREVER to dry.
some certain things we will lay out about the house if we *really* dont want them to go in the dryer, but we just dont have the space to hang everything.

dear fiance does most of our laundry, as he is very particular about how some of his pieces are handled.
the down-side is that im running frighteningly low on undies -- he tends to pick out his own things to wash and mine get neglected!

'Twas an evening in October, I'll confess I wasn't sober,
I was carting home a load with manly pride,
When my feet began to stutter and I fell into the gutter,
And a pig came up and lay down by my side.
Then I lay there in the gutter and my heart was all a-flutter,
Till a lady, passing by, did chance to say:
"You can tell a man that boozes by the company he chooses,"
Then the pig got up and slowly walked away.

Now there's a horse? Wicked!
10:32 am
Haz1558
You're welcome, ruru.
10:32 am

10:32 am
FMitch

10:33 am
Haz1558
Not for the horse - for me!
10:33 am
Haz1558
But not immobilon, please. It's a bit scary.
10:33 am
sprite
*grins* Ohhhh is th4 what you meant...
10:33 am
rururocks
that's what JMC meant by pulling the trigger then
10:33 am
jmcnrick
i actually thought you meant "with" and talk about imagination!!
10:33 am
FMitch
2nd day in a row I have to give Haz her blue and pink stripy pills, bad grid!
10:34 am
rubyfoo
it sounds like this chat has gotten a little out of hand, you rowdies!
10:34 am

10:34 am
rururocks
trigger ... horse..roy rogers..get with it jmc
10:34 am
Judi
Immoblion? Never heard of it. Sounds like a paralytic. Th4 must be trippy.
10:34 am
jmcnrick
FM you still haven't told what word haz misspelled
10:35 am
crosshair

10:35 am

I think I meant 'with' but I can fake a feeble mastery of the english language if you want me to
10:35 am
rubyfoo

Oh sorry jmc, I cant remember.

10:37 am

10:37 am

I once went to GB from Schiphol. Followed the whole path through the airport, finally into the tunnel.... all the way to the ground, where we had to climb a wooden crate to enter the very small airplane.
10:38 am
rubyfoo
sounds like the airports in the Bahamas!
10:39 am
jmcnrick
i think i will take a break too, my guard just walked by
10:39 am
sprite
it was really funny, lol. When we entered the plane, the steward actually tore our tickets and kept one piece. It was like getting into a bus or train.
10:39 am
rubyfoo
bye for now, jmc
10:40 am

10:40 am
helensgirlkid

10:40 am

small planes are better because a pilot has a vested interest in that if he put it into the ground,he will be just as dead as everyone else,i love the small cessnas,beavers and otter float planes of the north;)
10:41 am
sprite
the shame... of being seen Babbling...
10:41 am

I am down to the last word and just cannot see it/ It is a ta6/18 but not the one that mean to "tell on." Any clues would be appreciated! :)
10:41 am
sprite
crossy, it did exactly what it had to do, and we arrived in one piece. Most of the other passengers were business men.
10:42 am
Judi
I much prefer to think that all pilots have a vested interest in anything they fly and everyone they fly with. It's not like they can eject at the last minute before a crash.
10:42 am
Judi
Ta8: threadbare, ragged.
10:42 am
rubyfoo
I love seaplanes but they are just as dangerous as any other single engine plane
10:42 am

10:44 am
10s Gu

Um, that's giving a bit too much away, 10s.

But I have that one anyway. It is the other that I need.
10:46 am
rubyfoo
where I used to live, people would say "Is there something written on my forehead?" Is that the same thing?
10:47 am
sprite
we say here: does it read KKQS on my forehead?
Which would mean, translated: rotten jobs quick service

Which word are you looking for, cbr?
10:52 am

The ta6/18 that doesn't mean to rat out.
10:52 am
crosshair
irish spuds?
10:53 am
cbr1965
Isn't that one a ta5?
10:53 am

5:24 pm
jacq
that will give you the 9 and 10
5:24 pm
stidmama
we have been having such strange weather the last few years. Last year today reached 103 in Seattle... slightly higher here. Today it's close to normal, slightly below.
5:24 pm
stidmama
thanks jac. *thinking*
5:25 pm
jacq
then take the remaining word after the picnic pest is removed and that's a 6 for you, then past tense that for an 8
5:25 pm

5:25 pm

Jillyjill

Book Doctor Gwen
right side C is ci7, rhymes with a gi7
9:23 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

9:41 pm
featherbee
oh, THAT story. having nothing to do with me. ok. go for it.
9:41 pm
kje
today when answering a page, the medical student hears him say to the nurse on the other end of the phone "will you please hold me"
9:42 pm
kje
so the student grabs him and says "what did you just say"
9:42 pm
Scrabbler
Hello kids!
9:42 pm
Pinikula
hiya scrabs
9:42 pm
kje
he says " I ask-ed the nurse to hold me"
9:42 pm
featherbee
hi scrabs!
9:42 pm
kje
the student says, "do you mean to put you on hold?"
9:42 pm
Minveryork
Hi Scrabbler! How are you doing?Welcome to the grid
9:42 pm
Pinikula
a little "friendly", eh, kje ;)
9:43 pm
kje
so he tells me tonight that for the last 28 days he has been asking nurses to hold him
9:43 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
hold me, touch me . . . hold me, touch me . . .
9:43 pm
Scrabbler
My netbook got fixed and I just spent the evening re-installing Firefox + add-ons.
9:43 pm
Minveryork
LOL kje!
9:43 pm
kje
instead of to put him on hold while they look something up
9:43 pm
Scrabbler
Great story, kje
9:43 pm
kje
I cracked up - and told him the nurses are definitely now telling stories about him
9:43 pm
Pinikula
* giggle *
9:44 pm
Minveryork
A ga 6/27 word means to come together featherbee.
9:44 pm
Scrabbler
Yep, they will tell that story forever
9:44 pm
Pinikula
congrats scrabs...welcome back!
9:44 pm
featherbee
oops, meant the ga6/39
9:44 pm
kje
the funny thing is, he is not at all the lecherous type of guy who would ask the nurses to hold him, he was mortified when he realized his mistake
9:44 pm
Scrabbler
Next I will bring in my desktop to get tuned up--it is SLOW
9:44 pm
kje
yep, scrab... can't you hear them in their breakroom!
9:44 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
just found that ga6 = petrol + ending meaning to make something (look for high-calue letters)
9:45 pm
Pinikula
poor thing, kje...
9:45 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
calue = value (OY)
9:45 pm

9:46 pm
kje
I would have loved to have seen the nurse's face the first time he asked that
9:46 pm
Scrabbler
Especially new interns--they get brutalized + abused by everyone
9:46 pm
kje
especially one of the male nurses
9:46 pm
Minveryork
A gu8 word is the past tense of A gu7 word mungekin
9:46 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
gu8 = the eaves on your roof, but change the ending into a verb
9:47 pm
Pinikula
oh, to have been a fly on the wall when he said that to a male nurse! :)
9:47 pm
kje
ours get brutalized by some of the asshole fellows or surgeons when they try to call in consults, but for the most part, the nursing staff is very supportive
9:47 pm
kje
and very patient
9:48 pm
Scrabbler
Some attendings made me cry when I was a resident, but I never gave them the satisfaction of seeing me cry.
9:49 pm
kje
i must say, no one made me cry as a house officer, though I was so tired at times I wanted to cry just from that - but we had awesome attendings, and even the ones who weren't I never really took personally
9:49 pm
wht
clue for the first cu6,24 please
9:50 pm
kje
cu6y - utensils
9:50 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
cu6 rhymes with the man who runs your mansion

i had a micu attending who told my program diretcor that i was obstructionist after I refused to write an order to sedate a patient who was asking to leave (it is illegal) - my program director congratulated me
9:52 pm
Scrabbler
Good for you, doing the right thing!
9:52 pm
kje
he said it is a badge of honor if that particular attending didn't like you
9:52 pm
Pinikula
well done, kje! :)
9:52 pm
Scrabbler
So that attending like the passive, submissive residents?
9:53 pm
kje
but i was older when i went back to med school, so I had seen more and knew people better... some people are just asses and you can't take it personally
9:53 pm
kje
that attending was a jerk...
9:53 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
hope i never get stuck in a hospital that sedates *me* if i want to leave. sounds like a prison

Scrabbler
Yep, there are a lot of meanies that have power/control/ego issues. How did we ever get through residency, kje? I taught 3rd yr students yesterday and I felt so sorry for them
9:54 pm
kje
was a young guy who had come in intoxicated and it was NY eve and the attending said if we let him go he would just go out and get drunk and hurt himself
9:54 pm
kje
I said, that may be, but we cannot keep him here aginst his will
9:55 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
lu5, "filthy lu***"
9:55 pm
kje
he then asked me if i had children and i said no, so he said i cannot have an opinion about it
9:55 pm
kje
so i quietly handed off the chart to the fellow and said, i will not write that order
9:55 pm
Pinikula
what a jerk, kje
9:55 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
you can't have an opinion? OMG what an asshole
9:56 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
that's like saying i cant have an opinion about the death penalty unless i've been executed. LOLOL
9:56 pm
kje
she wrote it, and i told my chiefs who called an ethics consult - the next morning the guy was gone, apparently he decided to let him wake up and leave that afternoon
9:57 pm
Shirlockc
itty should be a word, itty bitty
9:57 pm

i figured he must have a kid with problems or something and was reacting to that rather than the young man we had...

Here's a story to help you be grateful, Feather: I saw newborn triplet boys--natural conception, no fertility drugs. The parents ALSO have a 6 yr old boy and 2 yr old twin boys (also natural conception). Recipe for insanity!
9:59 pm
Pinikula

9:59 pm
featherbee
