J. C.

1:00 am

J. C.

As in 'kidnap'.

m9f9l

Hi Christine - what flavour today.

J. C.

And yes...

1:30 am

Hello, luv - Earl Grey, but I think it may be stale, not a strong flavor of bergamot.

1:30 am

Christine

Marianne may join us.

1:30 am

loredana

1:30 am

jhb

Well let's go to the source and get some eh?

1:31 am

J. C.

Hi, jhb.

1:31 am

jillibus

1:31 am

J. C.

And melonheadjujube...

1:32 am

Judith (jhb) and I have a sister, Marianne, who hasn't Babbled for a while.

1:32 am

jillibus

1:32 am

jillibus

ah, I see

1:32 am

J. C.

Ah, I see. What's her player name?

1:32 am

Christine

Marianne signs in as Mal.

1:33 am

jillibus

Haven't seen a Mal

1:33 am

J. C.

Neither of my sisters Babble. My partner has a few times, though.

1:33 am

jhb

Hi this is becoming happy families. Anyone else like to join our family?

1:33 am

Christine

Not for quite a while

1:33 am

J. C.

And a couple of personal friends do...

1:33 am

jillibus

I can't get any of my family to babble :(

1:33 am

J. C.

Ah. Well you have your Babble family, Jill?

1:34 am

jhb

Well Jilli Christine is VERY persuasive

1:34 am

J. C.

Mind don't either...

1:34 am

Christine

Jillibus, they're probably aware how much time could be spent here.

1:34 am

J. C.

I've just been told I am also, jhb. News to me...

1:34 am

flosey

my daughters came in a while back but just to say hi

1:34 am

jhb

Christine - wat's your new icon?

1:34 am

jillibus

Yes, I think they're afraid to, Christine

1:34 am

J. C.

Quite, Christine.

1:35 am

J. C.

It's terribly addictive.

1:35 am

J. C.

Your daughters have Babble accounts, flosey?

1:35 am

Christine

Some nights, I sign in at 10pm flip, and get carried away, before I know it, its

1:35 am

jhb

But like all addicitions we can quit when we want to huh

1:35 am

Christine

s 6am.

1:35 am

Christine

oops

1:35 am

flosey

I doubt it, JC

1:35 am

jillibus

1:36 am

J. C.

Babbleanon. :P

1:36 am

J. C.

Babbleholics Anonymous?

1:36 am

flosey

that's us!

1:36 am

jhb

Yes JC - one day at a time

1:37 am

J. C.

And every day there's a new grid. :P

1:37 am

Christine

I quit smoking 46 years ago, but miss the smell of the smoke -- I think Babble is like that, I quit for over a year, but was drawn back -- oh well, I'd just waste my time sleeping, or summat.

1:37 am

jhb

Dinner time here - 7.30. Back later

1:38 am

jillibus

A couple of years ago there was a Babble Shop (imaginary) and one item was a catheter so nobody would have to leave for a pee

1:38 am

J. C.

'Summat' - as they say 'oop north'? :P

1:38 am

jhb

Jilli - did they do deliveries so we wouldn't have to have kitchen breaks?

1:39 am

J. C.

Ugh, Jill. :P I don't mind making bathroom trips, thank goodness. Or let dogs in and out, make tea, etc. I'll even talk to Ian once in a while...

1:39 am

jillibus

sorry, no, jhb, but you could start that business

1:39 am

jhb

Like the way Ian comes after everything and everyone else. How does he feel about that?

1:40 am

J. C.

He doesn't, jhb - far from it. ;)

1:40 am

jhb

Well jilli you can buy and sell almost anything on line now - so I might just do that.

1:40 am

jillibus

lol, jhb :)

1:43 am

Christine

The solution is to have an envelope full of menus

1:44 am

jillibus

what?

1:44 am

loredana

back with liptons black and 30 to go

1:44 am

J. C.

Hmmm?

1:44 am

Christine

I don't cook

1:44 am

jillibus

1:45 am

J. C.

And no AE, either. :/

1:45 am

jillibus

1:45 am

1:47 am

Hello! Greetings to Hobbitellina

2:53 am

Atalante

she's prowling around wanting a walk ...

2:53 am

Atalante

not tthat spaniels prowl very well

2:53 am

Haz1558

No, they're more bouncy and springy than prowly.

2:54 am

Atalante

very much so

2:54 am

rubyfoo

picture a pack of spaniels surrounding prey, jumping up and down and wiggling! hahah

2:55 am

Haz1558

Who's on dog walking duty this morning?

2:56 am

Atalante

husband, I can't take her on long walks yet

2:56 am

Atalante

hobbit has been known to wiggle at a downed rabbit ...

2:56 am

Haz1558

I thought so.

2:59 am

Atalante

maybe next week for me

2:59 am

Haz1558

Any restrictions on you driving?

3:00 am

Atalante

nope :) as long as I can do emergency stops it's fine

3:01 am

Haz1558

That's good, not driving is restrictive.

3:02 am

lynxxx

Have you had an operation Ata?

3:02 am

Atalante

especially with a new job!

3:02 am

Atalante

yes, arthroscopy last week

3:03 am

Haz1558

And she donated spare brain capacity at the same time.

3:03 am

Haz1558

She's very public spirited.

3:04 am

Atalante

I do try

3:04 am

lynxxx

Are they pleased with you - that is are you happy with it? Job too???? You have been busy

3:04 am

Haz1558

Yes, we need details of when the job starts etc.

3:05 am

lynxxx

and job description pls

3:05 am

Atalante

officially started last week, but unofficially tomorrow!

3:05 am

lynxxx

...if that is not too nosy

3:05 am

Haz1558

Never mind nosy, lynxxx, we're entitled to know!

3:06 am

Atalante

working for Kent Wildlife Trust as a marine officer - looking after survey programmes (diving and on the shore), marine advocacy etc

3:06 am

Haz1558

You're going to be a voice for the fish? Does Hobbit get to come as well?

3:07 am

Atalante

she can come along on some things, I'm sure

3:07 am

Atalante

yep, I have to learn salmon dialects

3:07 am

lynxxx

Lovely...all that volunteering ...what goes round, comes back etc

3:07 am

Atalante

yes!!

3:08 am

Atalante

and it's part time, half a week, so I have time for art as well. It's pretty much perfect

3:08 am

Atalante

and guaranteed for 3 years

3:08 am

lynxxx

and and do you get to wear a uniform ----with badges!?

3:08 am

Haz1558

That's super, Ata.

3:09 am

Atalante

nooooo lol. no uniform! I need to buy some heavy duty waterproofs though. And I get my own pigeonhole!

3:09 am

lynxxx

wow 3 year guarantee - unheard of

3:09 am

Haz1558

And an official clipboard. You must have an official clipboard. You can work your way up to needing a walky-talky.

3:09 am

Atalante

I have an official diary and notebook too

3:10 am

lynxxx

lol

3:10 am

Atalante

and an official GPS unit

3:10 am

Haz1558

I'm impressed.

3:10 am

lynxxx

That is really great Ata, I am very happy for you - and the fishes

3:11 am

Atalante

http://www.kentwildlifetrust.org.uk/ is a wonderful place to work

3:12 am

Atalante

I hope the fishies are happy, they now have 2 marine officers to look after them

3:13 am

Haz1558

The word will probably get around and all British fish will gravitate to the Kent coast. Fishermen around the coast will scratch their heads and wonder what's going on.

3:13 am

lynxxx

SevenOaks, that is where my fathers brother lived before he came over here 10 years ago

3:13 am

Atalante

oh really? wow!

3:16 am

lynxxx

this is a hard grid

3:16 am

Haz1558

Lots of individual words.

3:17 am

lynxxx

oops better check the oven BBS

3:23 am

Atalante

trying to decide whether I want to pa5 or study today

3:23 am

rubyfoo

got half, but for nbt pls, anything for the u or the lower o?

3:23 am

Haz1558

ok4 - vegetable

3:24 am

rubyfoo

slap me with one of ata's fish!

3:24 am

Haz1558

up6 - up plus a feathered missile used in pubs.

3:24 am

rubyfoo

thank you haz

3:25 am

rbud

oi4, piggy noise

3:25 am

Haz1558

You're welcome. Extend that up6 for up9.

3:25 am

rubyfoo

ty rbud!

3:26 am

lynxxx

up always seems to be teamed with such unlikely words

3:26 am

lynxxx

TY Haz

3:26 am

rubyfoo

wow, 9 cleared, ty ty

3:26 am

Atalante

can I ask you lot of generally intelligent people a question? It's something for the coastal defences thingy I'm studying, and I'd like to see "non-marine" reactions

3:26 am

rbud

oooh, thanks for the up9! :)

3:26 am

Haz1558

I know. up8 times 2 as well.

3:27 am

Haz1558

Are we generally intelligent? I'm flattered!

3:27 am

lynxxx

I am worried about that 'generally'

3:27 am

Atalante

I thought I'd add the generally proviso in!

3:27 am

rubyfoo

oh my, what a grand infusion of words!!!!

3:27 am

Atalante

just in case someone isn't feeling intelligent

3:28 am

Haz1558

up8 - the activity when people tell you about their lives on Facebook/Twitter. Or another up8, up plus what Michelin inspectors give to restaurants and hotels.

3:28 am

lynxxx

very nice it has been a loong day here and I am feeling a bit brain dead

3:29 am

rubyfoo

nice to clear the u's!

3:29 am

Atalante

I'll assume you all are. Imagine this ... you have a lovely old house on some cliffs. You've lived there for ages, loads of memories etc, and the cliffs have been the subject of good coastal defences. Now, the government says they aren't going to maintain the defences any more and in a few years, your beloved house will get swept over the cliff. Boom.

3:29 am

Haz1558

You need to eat fish, lynxxx - brain food.

3:29 am

rubyfoo

that is too awful, ata!

3:29 am

Atalante

Do you feel that you should be entitled to compensation from the government for all / some of that house's worth? Or relocation costs (as an alternative)

3:29 am

rubyfoo

but not ata's

3:30 am

Haz1558

It depends on what conditions were when you bought the house. Was coastal defence promised for ever more?

3:30 am

lynxxx

Yes to compensation - probably relocation. When I bought the house they did not tell me they were going to stop

3:30 am

Atalante

ah, there's the crux. The govt *never* promise for ever more, but most people *assume* the defences will always be there

3:32 am

Atalante

but also sea can eat away at cliffs so quickly that you could inherit a house 10 miles from the sea and have it nearly in the water now

3:32 am

Haz1558

I don't think I would ever assume anything. In a sense, if you choose to stay somewhere where there is a risk, however remote, I think you have to accept some of the pitfalls. But I would expect some help, especially if I'd been there a long time.

3:33 am

rubyfoo

pangon

3:33 am

rubyfoo

whoops, sorry

3:34 am

rubyfoo

that's called running out fo words and typing at ra****

3:34 am

rubyfoo

*poof*

3:34 am

Haz1558

Bye, ruby.

3:34 am

lynxxx

but if the govt had been maintaining the defences previously then they can't/shoudn't stop. If it is to save money, then surely they should pass over some to the people who are going to suffer

3:34 am

Atalante

so .. one would naturally expect some help, you'd hope ... but then - if you got your way and managed to persuade the government to keep on with the defences, would you expect the people along the shore that those sea defences would affect to be compensated too (generally flood defences screw up places downshore from them - people might be flooded there, have their own houses fall off cliffs)

3:34 am

rubyfoo

bye haz and thanks for all the words!

3:34 am

Haz1558

No problem ruby.

3:35 am

Atalante

sea defences generally stop being maintained because it's for the best for the coast - just not the best for the people who happen to live there

3:35 am

rubyfoo

that sounds like a horrible problem, much like in California, where people build on cliffs AND faults

3:35 am

Haz1558

So the coast isn't ever a fixed point?

3:35 am

Atalante

yep, CA is a nightmare! FL too

3:36 am

Atalante

no, the coast should be allowed to erode and rebuild itself - we just constrain it by building defences and towns on the seaside

3:36 am

rubyfoo

we live on a tiny, old fault line, they occasional have 2.0 or 3.0 earthquakes, but nothing much

3:36 am

rubyfoo

and it's extremely expensive land because there is so little of it

3:36 am

ursh

we have similar here - upmarket coastal area - houses getting closer and closer to the beach - one very high tide and lots of damage done - who is responsible ??

3:37 am

lynxxx

they are saying our local beach will be gone in 10 years if they don't do anything...at least we are in a bay

3:37 am

rubyfoo

hello ursh. Are you near Capetown? or Durban?

3:37 am

lynxxx

hi Ursh

3:37 am

Haz1558

I suppose I'd go for the general good - what's best for the coast and what will make most people reasonably happy about the security of their homes. Unfortunately it looks as though some might have to make the sacrifice in order to secure the homes of the majority.

3:37 am

Atalante

it really is an awful problem, and one where people and the coastline are in direct opposition - which is quite rare, usually there's some compromise that can work

3:38 am

ursh

Durban ruby - north coast took a huge beating in high seas

3:38 am

Haz1558

And now, having proved my general intelligence, I must be off! Lovely to see you and I'll be back later to wrestle with the grid.

3:38 am

Atalante

thank you for your general intelligence!

3:39 am

lynxxx

bye Haz - enjoy lunch

3:39 am

Haz1558

*gone with the ti4/5*

3:39 am

rubyfoo

and the Indian Ocean is pretty wild anyway. When I uused to go to PE from time to time, sometimes the waves would break over the road below the hotel and the ocean park

3:40 am

ursh

I feel if you want to live that close to the sea you must surely be aware of the risk - today there is no shortage of info at hand

3:40 am

Atalante

I just hate writing essays that are 100% doom and gloom.It's so depressing that there's just no solutions acceptable to all

3:41 am

Atalante

do you think there should be limits on developers? not allow them to build too close in areas where there are issues?

3:41 am

rubyfoo

I gree, ursh, but people want those ocean views.....

3:41 am

rubyfoo

for sure, ata

3:41 am

Soodle

Hello everybody. Brisk frosty morning here.

3:41 am

rubyfoo

7:49 am

Mom

congrat Ouw

7:49 am

Anniebrook

Lickety redundant? Never, I say.

7:49 am

FMitch

*hands towel to Annie and sprite, sorry* Lunch is finished now.

7:49 am

sprite

alas yes, the new site will not work together with lickety. But you get clues for every tile then.

7:50 am

FMitch

So Ouw will have to cough up the $ then :)

7:51 am

sprite

we may want to do something nice for Lickety, as thanks, btw. I am under the impression drG has not been in contact with Lickety at all about this.

7:51 am

Ouwachita

unlikely I will till I have more time to devote to this

7:52 am

Ouwachita

working my butt off...see no butt left

7:52 am

Mom

what a wonderful idea Sprite, do let me know how I can help

7:52 am

Anniebrook

Ouw, where are you?

7:52 am

FMitch

Wish I had no butt ;)

7:53 am

Mom

Ouw .... you can work some of my butt off then, if you have gotten rid of yours :)

7:53 am

Anniebrook

I would love to do something nice for Lickety..what a nice idea

7:53 am

sprite

7:53 am

sprite

any suggestions highly appreciated!

7:54 am

FMitch

will put our thinking caps on.

7:54 am

Mom

that Sprite is one smart cookie, hardly using Lickety

7:54 am

Mom

:)

7:54 am

Ouwachita

been working 7 days a week for about 10 years now...every now and then I have to take a day off...getting tired of it fast

7:54 am

Anniebrook

Mom, If we have to contribute money can you do it for me once again and I will repay you?

7:54 am

sprite

He is quite a cutie

7:54 am

Mom

I surely will Annie

7:55 am

Anniebrook

Mom, thank you

7:55 am

sprite

that is pretty awful, Ouwachita.

7:55 am

Mom

rofl, Sprite

7:55 am

MollyL

I'm not really up on the new site news. So, when the new site goes up, no list? Am I getting that right?

7:55 am

Anniebrook

sprite! oh mrp...mrp....

7:55 am

Mom

you're welcome Annie

7:55 am

FMitch

jeez Ouw you can't keep that up for ever you will burn out - what do you do?

7:55 am

Ouwachita

i did go to Holland once tho...went to Keukenhof

7:55 am

sprite

Molly: a mini list for every tile, I believe.

7:55 am

Mom

Molly, it will be built in to Babble and you can click on a tile to get clues

7:56 am

sprite

don't worry, Lickety wouldn't be interested.

7:56 am

Mom

Molly, are you on Facebook?

7:56 am

FMitch

AS we don't even know when the new site is going to be ready I am not going to worry.

7:56 am

sprite

de Keukenhof is beautiful. Did you enjoy it?

7:56 am

MollyL

Yeah, I'm on Facebook. My kids made me join so I could see their photographs.

7:56 am

Anniebrook

Something to keep in mind for Lickety

7:58 am

NonoNanette

Facebook is so very unsafe, please all of you who use it be very very careful

7:58 am

Ouwachita

I loved it...wish I could go every year...met a couple of women while I was there...VERY FRIENDLY COUNTRY...LOL

7:58 am

sprite

hehehe yes it is. Glad you had a good time, Ouwachita.

8:00 am

sprite

let me think on it, we still have time. New site has not been announced yet, no date anyway.

8:00 am

MollyL

I agree about Facebook Nono. I'm hardly there. I check it once in a while for pictures, that's about it.

8:00 am

sprite

don't use FB. Not for anything personal anyway.

8:00 am

sprite

I don't, that is.

8:01 am

NonoNanette

when i found out they retain all rights to anything you have there even if you close your account, well that did it for me

8:01 am

FMitch

I don't use it either.

8:01 am

Anniebrook

neither do I

8:02 am

Ouwachita

were you one of the women I met, Sprite?

8:03 am

sprite

am afraid not, Ouwachita :(

8:03 am

MollyL

Facebook baffles me. When did keeping in touch via email become too much work?

8:03 am

Mom

Molly, on Facebook type in Babble Community in the search box and you can see what Dr. God is up to

8:03 am

FMitch

or even picking up the phone Molly :)

8:04 am

Ouwachita

well, time to go to work...see you all later

8:04 am

Anniebrook

or writing a letter? or am I a dinosaur

8:04 am

Mom

got a Facebook account when the babble community started one. That is the only reason and then my boys "friended" me. Such an honor. :)

8:04 am

sprite

on Facebook you can find people you don't have email from... look up old classmates or colleagues... flirt with strangers... all kind of things I don't do anyway.

8:04 am

Anniebrook

bye Ouw, come back soon

8:04 am

Mom

bye bye Ouw

8:04 am

FMitch

Bye Ouw have a good day.

8:04 am

sprite

bye Ouwachita, good luck at work

8:04 am

Mom

I agree. I would much rather telephone or write a letter

8:05 am

Mom

I figure it this way, everyone I want to keep in touch with I do. Screw the rest of them.

8:05 am

Anniebrook

LOL, Mom

8:05 am

sprite

that is the spirit

8:06 am

MollyL

I agree Mom.

8:06 am

Mom

I get on Facebook just to see if it is my turn at Lexulous. Thanking Doren and Lil*Monkey for that.

8:07 am

MollyL

I have long distance friends I have actually lost contact with because all they do is text and I don't.

8:07 am

sprite

lol a conversation I am overhearing from the neighbours (daughter is 4)
"Mom can you help me do ......?"
"I am in the garden now, Fien, ask Daddy."

kje, I am going to take tylenol extra strength, 2 tabs 2x a day...is that okay

8:36 am

NonoNanette

morning Feather

8:36 am

Anniebrook

hi feather

8:36 am

kje

anie, take 2 extra strength tylenol (or 3 regular strength) every 6 hours while awake (3 times daily) take it scheduled, ot as needed, scheduled just like a BP med, for the next 4-5 days. That will be your basal pain control

8:37 am

kje

then if you eed additional, you can take alleve twice daily as well, but I suspect after a day of the tylenol dosed on a scheduled basis, you will not need much alleve

8:37 am

kje

make sure you take the alleve with food, and do not take it the lay down

8:38 am

Anniebrook

thank you very much, kje

8:40 am

tylenol is a very good pain medicine when taken scheduled, it prevents pain build up... not as effective once the pain gets really ramped up

Hi Sprite. I went hiking with a woman from Holland. Actually she is an American that married a Dutch man 35 yrs ago. She lives in a city called Sl______. I couldn't understand it. And, sadly, she doesn't know a Sprite or a Monkey Games.

Hi welki. I like that movie too, and I am sure you enjoy the fly fishing.

8:57 am

Close to Memento Morris

9:01 am

yes, carpe diem and memento mori. Sorry, tried to be funny.

9:01 am

Scrabbler

Yep, watching a Law & Order marathon, drinking tea, Babbling (chat + grid) and flipping over to Facebook to make my words in word games.

9:02 am

That is a show that has not pulled me in. I love Criminal Minds, and Bones is pretty good.

9:06 am

sprite

9:07 am

Scrabbler

Criminal Minds is about FBI profilers that investigate crimes--focusing on forensic psychopathology.

9:08 am

sprite

oh that sounds very interesting, Scrabs. I hope they air it here as well.

9:08 am

Scrabbler

It's a more intelligent show compared to much of the nonsense on TV.

9:09 am

sprite

I have to admit I like a bit of nonsense now and again. Like CSI.

9:09 am

welki

i like those shows, too ... but sometimes need that nonsense

Yes, NB! I almost *GASP* had to turn on the vacuum cleaner.

9:52 am

welki

hehehe ... rescued by the ip provider!

9:53 am

Nancy Boy

Good grief, Scrabbs, you should be more careful. It starts with a little vacuuming here and there; before you know it you have a full-blown addiction and you're scrubbing the skirting boards.

9:53 am

Scrabbler

I turned off everything, incl the modem, turned it back on and fiddled with some settings...phew!

9:53 am

I like to try to do that too.. when I have time. Fun to set "goals" with each grid and try to stretch yourself.

11:21 am

varumba

it is about having time, isn't it? and of course not too big a grid/.. or too hard

11:22 am

Aloyisius

11:30 am

Aloyisius

varumba

fireworks almost all on my own!!!! no more words... only 7-8 clue si think!

11:32 am

FMitch

enable declined me Gonk, so unfair as I had several as a child.

11:32 am

varumba

hi fm

11:32 am

Haz1558

diane, sometimes lickety shows up an extra word (this is because Lickety uses a more up to date version of enable than Dr-G). Ignore it, that de7 is not needed to get fireworks.

11:32 am

dianedecoder

okay... thanks var. :-)

11:32 am

Aloyisius

hi FM ! tell me what a gonk is, please

11:32 am

varumba

yw

11:32 am

dianedecoder

I do know a word that works, but it wouldn't accept it

11:32 am

varumba

any1 want a clue before i go?

11:33 am

Haz1558

Gonks may well be trademarked, but I tried it as well, FM.

11:33 am

dianedecoder

thanks all !! Now I can go make brunch... be back later to hopefully finish

11:33 am

Aloyisius

ooh, congrats, varumba! didn't realize you had finished.. yay, wtg!!

11:34 am

dianedecoder

hi, FMitch

11:36 am

Haz1558

FM is probably trying to find her Gonk.

11:36 am

FMitch

I am but tinyurl is playing up

11:37 am

Aloyisius

lol, think you are right, Haz.. she is off Gonk searching

11:37 am

Aloyisius

that's ok, FM.. I'll google later, ty for trying

11:37 am

FMitch

Look for a stuffed oval toy not the trolls with the sticky up hair.

11:38 am

Aloyisius

ok.. will do.. and does the Gonk have a face?

11:38 am

Haz1558

Yes, trolls were never my cup of tea, gonks were somewhat hairy and squat.

11:38 am

Aloyisius

there is just no end to what one can learn from Babblers!

11:38 am

Haz1558

The face was pretty rudimentary, mostly felt as I remember.

11:39 am

FMitch

Yes its like a humptydumpty egg top half face bottom half body with sticky out arms and legs.

11:39 am

Jillyjill

OK, have nbt and 1/3 done, unforunatly have pounds of tomaotes to can...bbl

11:39 am

Aloyisius

aww, sounds cute

11:39 am

Aloyisius

bye Jilly.. have fun canning!

11:39 am

FMitch

So where are you now Aloy up north or still down south?

11:41 am

FMitch

Oh there was a spectacular firework display in the village last night and I didn't have to leave home to see it.

11:41 am

Haz1558

Was it for a special occasion?

11:41 am

Aloyisius

still up north, FM.. and glad to be here bc of all the glorious Fall colors, etc.. such a different world.. fresh apples, mums, clear blue skies, (some days).. a crispness in the air

11:41 am

Aloyisius

clam bakes, football games, corn mazes, hayrides..

11:41 am

FMitch

Early Nov 5th celebrations Haz.

11:42 am

FMitch

Sounds lovely Aloy.

11:42 am

Aloyisius

ooh.. nice FM, and now you have to educate me again.. what is Nov 5?

11:42 am

Haz1558

Extremely early! Not that we can talk, Ballymena now has three Christmas trees in position.

11:43 am

FMitch

Guy Fawkes was caught trying to blow up the Houses of Parliament back in the 17th(?) centuary and we commemorate that day still.

11:43 am

FMitch

Oh Haz that is so so early :(

11:43 am

Haz1558

Yes, early 17th century.

11:44 am

Aloyisius

ahhh, ty.. have heard of Guy Fawkes day

11:44 am

FMitch

Actually the shops have a boom time selling fireworks - wonder how many really remember where it all stems from.

11:44 am

Haz1558

It's madness. They're not decorated yet, just erected, but there's something odd about having Halloween decorations mixed with Christmas stuff.

11:45 am

Haz1558

We're not allowed to have fireworks here, special licence required, but somehow they get smuggled in from down south.

11:46 am

FMitch

I guess I can understand that.

11:47 am

Aloyisius

am listening to a program from GB now, "My Word".. enjoy it

11:48 am

Haz1558

They were being used for anti-social purposes so they brought in regulations. It has cut down on things a lot but there are still illegal fireworks to be had if you know who to ask.

11:49 am

Haz1558

That should probably be 'whom to ask' shouldn't it?

11:50 am

Aloyisius

yes, objective case

11:50 am

Scrabbler

Good day, ladies!

11:51 am

Aloyisius

Scrabbler! hi there

11:51 am

Judi

Hello, Babblonians!

11:51 am

FMitch

Hello Scrabs.

11:51 am

Scrabbler

hi Judi

11:51 am

Haz1558

Hello, Judi and Scrabbler.

11:51 am

Aloyisius

hi to Judi too!

11:51 am

Scrabbler

While the vacuum cleaner takes a break I am having leftover spaghetti.

11:52 am

FMitch

and Hello Judi

11:52 am

Judi

Pondering the U's. Just not seeing the light.

11:53 am

Scrabbler

all up-----

11:53 am

Aloyisius

just as you two came on, fireworks went off for me.. and Hubby came in with a surprise.. wait..

11:53 am

Judi

Well, at least I guessed the up part correctly.

11:53 am

Haz1558

Well done, Aloy!

11:54 am

Scrabbler

Oh, Aloy, Ruru would say something hilarious if he read that.

11:54 am

Scrabbler

Congrats Aloy!

11:54 am

Judi

Reading back in the chog... black market fireworks are the best.

11:54 am

Aloyisius

over 10 years ago, he made some wine in an oak barrel, and it tasted awful.. way too oaky.. so we left it in the fruit cellar..

11:54 am

Scrabbler

and it's yummy now /

11:54 am

Aloyisius

well, now he is cleaning out the fruit cellar and opened a bottle of the old awful wine

11:54 am

Judi

You left hubby in the fruit cellar! Someone call the authorities.

11:54 am

Aloyisius

and it has transformed into something like a smooth sherry

11:55 am

Aloyisius

not bad at all.. what a surprise!

11:55 am

Aloyisius

you ladies are funny..

11:55 am

Scrabbler

how old is it /

11:55 am

FMitch

lol Aloy and congrats

11:55 am

Haz1558

Which proves the proverb, 'good things come to those who wait'

11:56 am

Judi

Good things come to those who wait, Aloy. Enjoy the fruits of your cellar.

11:56 am

Aloyisius

well over 10 years, Scrabbs..

11:56 am

Judi

*snap, Haz*

11:56 am

Scrabbler

fascinating, aloy

11:56 am

Haz1558

I think Judi and I must be in receipt of the same batch of brain cells donated by Ata.

11:56 am

Aloyisius

thinking back... maybe 15 or so years

11:56 am

FMitch

Mr and Mrs Aloy will be hic-upping merrily later then :)

11:57 am

Judi

Goodness. Better look on the front stoop. Didn't realize someone left brain cells for me. Rather in the nick of time, I might add.

11:57 am

Aloyisius

lol... well FM, he said "maybe we should be careful - it could give us headaches"... so we will sip cautiously

11:58 am

Aloyisius

we were just going to save it for cooking.. so we didn't throw it out

11:58 am

Judi

Obviously, if it tastes good, it's probably bad for you.

11:58 am

Aloyisius

true, Judi !

11:58 am

FMitch

Back in a mo must go downstairs and turn the heating off, am feeling decidedly overcooked.

11:58 am

Haz1558

Yes, Ata donated brain cells while she was in having her arthroscopy. If you feel smug, you'll know why, Judi.

11:59 am

Judi

:() There are worse side affects that smugness.

11:59 am

Scrabbler

Vacuum cleaner has sufficiently rested, I finished the leftovre spaghetti, and I must finish cleaning the downstairs. Then I will hike, return, and clean the upstairs.

12:00 pm

Aloyisius

1 pm here.. must scoot and get something accomplished. Enjoyed chatting with you all.. be good, FM (-: Bye, Haz, Judi, Scrabbler.. see you next time, I hope.

12:00 pm

Haz1558

Bye, Aloy, good to see you.

12:00 pm

Judi

I'm procrastinating going to the market. HATE grocery shopping.

12:00 pm

Scrabbler

Haha, Haz, and Ata is so packed with brain cells and they are so efficiently networked, that she will still excel with her remainder.

12:00 pm

Haz1558

Scrabbler, slow down. You'll make the rest of us look bad.

12:00 pm

Judi

See ya, Aloy!

12:01 pm

Scrabbler

I have delayed cleaning as long as possible these last 2 wks or so, and I must get this done.

12:02 pm

Judi

Spare the vacuum and spoil the dust bunnies, Scrabbs.

12:02 pm

Scrabbler

Bye, Ladies! Enjoy your day. Oh, Judy, I did that yesterday and it was easier with my iPod + earphones--I didn't have to listen to store music, screaming parents + kids, etc

12:03 pm

Scrabbler

The bunnies drop their cocoa puffs when they jump out of their litter boxes so I must tidy up as they refuse to.

12:04 pm

Scrabbler

*waving* BBL

12:04 pm

FMitch

Bye to those that are going!

12:07 pm

Haz1558

That's going to include me, I'm afraid. See you tomorrow!

12:07 pm

Haz1558

Bye1

12:07 pm

FMitch

Okey dokey Haz I will follow your lead :)

12:12 pm

Judi

12:18 pm

PAV3

12:18 pm

sammysmom

12:19 pm

rubyfoo

12:20 pm

rubyfoo

no deer here; the French have eaten all of them

12:21 pm

sammysmom

see my icon ruby.. this is in my back yard

12:21 pm

PAV3

I had not known my friend to express a hunting desire...perhaps it's his midlife crisis

12:21 pm

rubyfoo

great photo, mom!

12:22 pm

PAV3

are you allowed fencing , mom?

12:22 pm

rubyfoo

there are foxes here that come through my garden during the night, but I've never seen them, just smell them in the morning

12:22 pm

Judi

Off to do the shopping. BBL. *POOF*

12:22 pm

sammysmom

thinking of calling an old friend who likes to hunt with bow and arrow... quiet dontch know? and he says he can dress out a big buck in an hour ...... havent had venison in years.... hemmmmmmmmm

12:23 pm

rubyfoo

there are a lot of wild boar here as well as chamois, up in the mountains behind the house but there are no rabbits, either

12:23 pm

sammysmom

i can t affor fencing pav or i would already have it

12:23 pm

PAV3

well, as long as you post the no trespassing sign, and the deer ignore it, you should be able to

12:24 pm

sammysmom

lol

12:25 pm

rubyfoo

103 words and I've hit the wall!

12:25 pm

PAV3

chamois? as in the cleaning cloth?

12:25 pm

rubyfoo

yup, pav, but they're very shy and I've never seen one

12:26 pm

PAV3

you've not seen a chamois cloth?

12:27 pm

rubyfoo

they probably used to make the cloths from the hide (like suede) but not any more, I hope. They are elegant little creatures

12:29 pm

PAV3

We arenâ€™t even into the Fact yet and we already know that the Chamois lives in mountainous regions of Europe and has a leather hide that is great for cleaning vehicles. Letâ€™s continue on and see what else we can learn, shall we? The chamois is a very nimble animal and is able to reach speeds of 50 km/h (30 mph) on rough, uneven ground. Heck, I had a tough time driving an ATV at these speeds through the mountains. ( I just googled chamois)

12:29 pm

rubyfoo

I love it! We are in the foothills of the French alps

12:33 pm

rubyfoo

Soodle

Don't agree with you there, Jmc. I sure wish I had babbled instead of saying I Do. Life would be a whole lot less complicated now!

1:23 pm

Vicuna

Heck, wear a long opaque veil and you could be doing anything under there!

1:23 pm

jmcnrick

okay i double checked and . . .nbt

1:47 pm

lbdawger

lol, Molly, I'm old enough to admit my age and young enough to pray i'll get older!

1:48 pm

jesdraggon

ah. that should be just ducky for helping treat/prevent diarrhea, but I don't think it'll have any effect on ear infections.

1:48 pm

welki

^5 dawg .. someones asks, 'how's life?' my answer, 'better than the alternative'

1:49 pm

welki

maybe it's not the right product. i'll find out and let you know next time we're on together

1:49 pm

jesdraggon

can't say that i think the "gelatin for joints" is going to do much though.

1:49 pm

cybernan

I just assumed you had reached that "certain age", dawger -- after all -- you do see Maxine's humour!

Anniebrook

ga 5/10 means thief in Yiddish

1:50 pm

Oh crap, I did type out d 6/27, didn't I? Off to the penalty box. Hope there are goodies left.

1:50 pm

jesdraggon

I'm also always a little leary of a site that doesn't list AMOUNT in their product information, instead of just re-listing the ingredients

1:51 pm

jesdraggon

keep in mind that none of the "nutritional supplements" are FDA regulated, because they aren't considered drugs, so buy from a brand you're familiar with and know is reliable, lest you get something that doesn't actually have in it what it claims.

1:51 pm

fuzzybunny

sorry Nan

and with that, i'm off to unload the railroad ties from the truck :) Have fun!

yes, NB, it's always good to feel alive!

3:04 pm

zoozzoom

I Love hot weather..not keen on cold, but can tolerate it if i have somewhere nice & warm afterwards :-)

3:05 pm

Nancy Boy

right, Pav ;) I suppose I just like dramatic weather. I like it to be very hot or very cold. if it's raining, I want it to rain hard...

3:05 pm

Nancy Boy

this is a very English discussion ;)

3:05 pm

zoozzoom

LOl, true, we brits always talk about the weather..hahaha

3:06 pm

Nancy Boy

I'm not even British! How unfair :P

3:06 pm

PAV3

while I like the cleansing of a good downpour, I'm more of a sprinkles guy meself....I don't likethe leopard effect on my car afterward though

3:06 pm

zoozzoom

LOL, must be dust spots

3:07 pm

Nancy Boy

haha, Pav! Can't fault the logic, I guess. Don't have a car myself, so one less thing to worry about.

3:07 pm

zoozzoom

you can be a Brit, if you like NB :-)

3:07 pm

zoozzoom

in fact, dustless spots.

3:07 pm

Nancy Boy

I could be Zooz, but I rather think my appearance denies it ;)

3:08 pm

PAV3

what? dust in Arizona! ...unfortunately, yes, there are veritable mountains of dirt here in AZ, and that's just the living room...!

3:08 pm

zoozzoom

hahahaha,but you love the place, Pav..right?

3:09 pm

PAV3

why can't you be British with a flair for oriental looks? capitalize on your strenghts

3:09 pm

zoozzoom

why would it, NB

3:09 pm

zoozzoom

snap, Pav

3:09 pm

Nancy Boy

Hmm, well I've tried it, when people ask me where I'm from. "Where are you from?" "London." "No, where are you REALLY from?"

3:10 pm

PAV3

AZ is "warm" enough yes, do I miss th cold and snow? not much...just wish the dirt wouldn't be in so many places at once..

3:11 pm

zoozzoom

oh i see what you mean, NB...you are not missing anything, so i would not worry about it, NB..lol

3:12 pm

zoozzoom

i think you might tell i am not very patriotc..lol

3:13 pm

PAV3

I understand , as well, NB, appearances are sometimes limiting...in HS I was thought to be French, in college Native American, in the SW I'm hispanic bordering on illegal esp when I don't wear a shirt and tie, and then I'm thought of as wait staff...go figure!

3:15 pm

Nancy Boy

Ironically, I'm pretty patriotic! I love England...could never leave, definitely not to go home. When I got back here from Korea, I felt like kissing the ground!

3:15 pm

zoozzoom

ok, goy my hot vegeatable chunky soup, take care all.

3:15 pm

Nancy Boy

LOL Pav!! Well in the onlookers' defence, 'wait staff' is hardly an ethnicity :P

3:15 pm

3:38 pm

Soodle

Strange, but really good....

3:38 pm

Magyk

I was due Christmas day, but arrived early New Year's Day. My marmie was out to eat with friends when she went into labor!

3:40 pm

Magyk

I always seem to surprise her.

3:41 pm

Soodle

LOL. My Sarah made 'an entrance' on Dec 29th, and now, aged 18, continues to be a drama queen! (She is gone to a halloween party now as Cleopatra.... late... to make 'an entrance'!!!

As her Mom, I wish she had gone out in a green baby blanket..........

3:43 pm

Soodle

Do you have kids, Mag?

3:44 pm

Magyk

No, not yet. But I have 6 nephews who I feel like are my own.

3:45 pm

Soodle

My son, age 20 has just gone out dressed as Fred Flintsone..... . Oooh Nephews are great! I have 5, and I love them to bits (specially when I can give them back)......

3:46 pm

Soodle

I spent the day with my partner's 2and a half year old twin nephews....Billy & Luke. Two tough guys!!!!

3:47 pm

Magyk

Oh yes, I love to spend time with them, but I'm glad I'm not there all the time! The oldest is 12, then 10 and 8 and the triplets are 4!

3:48 pm

Soodle

Triplets!!!! Oh my!

3:49 pm

Magyk

They are...a handful!

3:50 pm

Soodle

I can't even begin to imagine! My boss has just had twins.She is 45 - and doesn't know if she is on her head or her heels! Its a true cads

I can't even begin to imagine! My boss has just had twins.She is 45 - and doesn't know if she is on her head or her heels! Its a true cads

Soodle

I can't even begin to imagine! My boss has just had twins.She is 45 - and doesn't know if she is on her head or her heels! Its a true cads

3:51 pm

Soodle

Its a true case of 'Be Careful What You Wish For....

3:53 pm

Soodle

She doesn't have any other kids, so these little darlings were very much waited for, but she is on top of her head!

3:54 pm

Magyk

I don't know what I would do...it's so much to handle, but my sister does it well.

3:55 pm

Soodle

Does the triplets mean that multiple births run in your family, Mag (Not trying to freak you, or anything...)

3:56 pm

Magyk

Oh no, they don't! I've very carefully considered this. Not to mention, my boyfriend is a twin. But he and his brother are the only ones in his family, also!

3:59 pm

Soodle

Hmmmmmm. You never know! Que sera sera :-)

4:00 pm

Soodle

Lovely chatting to you, Mag. I think I will head off to bed now. You take care.

4:00 pm

4:47 pm

gapeach

Thanks. Does it come in a bottle or do they brew it?

4:47 pm

gapeach

Oh, thanks for the info.

4:47 pm

MollyL

You can get the same effect putting pumpkin pie spice in your coffee grounds before you brew it.

4:47 pm

cosdem

molly is right. that would be a lot cheaper

4:48 pm

MollyL

I do that with cinnamon and nutmeg too sometimes.

Hello, MollyL..love your icon :-)

5:00 pm

cosdem

5:00 pm

MollyL

My son and I decorated for Halloween this weekend. I'm feeling festive. Kudos to Cos for pointing out the wizard name correction.

5:00 pm

zoozzoom

Rather cold here too..Brrr

5:01 pm

5:02 pm

MollyL

Zoom, you folks across the pond celebrate Halloween earlier than us?

5:03 pm

cosdem

some states in the US have trick or treating on days NOT halloween..

5:03 pm

cosdem

in iowa it's always 2 days before Halloween

5:03 pm

zoozzoom

we celebrate it on the 31st october, Molly

5:04 pm

cosdem

because the lawmakers feel it is dangerous for kids to treat on halloween night.. a lot of crazies

5:04 pm

Magyk

In Indiana it's always the Saturday before...so kids can stay up late.

5:04 pm

MollyL

See what I get for not listening to the news. I'm not up on any current events.

5:04 pm

cosdem

personally i grew up trick or treating on halloween night.. i think it should be that way! dont mess with tradition :)

5:05 pm

Magyk

I agree!

5:05 pm

Jillyjill

Our local merchants host a halloween parade and trick/treating after at their businesses

5:05 pm

MollyL

I am traditional like you Cos. Plus, I went to Catholic school and the next day is a holy day of obligation so we always had the day off. Now they make the kids go to school on holy days and trot them to mass during school hours.

5:05 pm

cosdem

i live in colorado now and they trick or treat on halloween here ... yay!

5:05 pm

cosdem

ah yes.. all saints day right?

5:05 pm

zoozzoom

Although the children, here, trick or treat long before that, just to get as many sweets/candy or money/mony as possible.

5:05 pm

cosdem

i was raised catholic myself

5:06 pm

Jillyjill

I certainly make sure my black cat is locked safely in my bedroom...

5:06 pm

MollyL

Yeah, I think. I'm a retired Catholic.

5:06 pm

cosdem

lol so am i Mollt

5:06 pm

cosdem

Molly

5:06 pm

cosdem

actually i call it "recovering Catholic"

5:07 pm

Jillyjill

Hey!! Active proud Catholic here....

5:07 pm

cosdem

i mean no offense

5:07 pm

cosdem

but the church thinks i'm going to hell for my orientation so...

5:08 pm

MollyL

I've got no problem with the Catholics. I just gravitate more towards a Univeralist way of talking to God these days.

5:08 pm

cosdem

i cant be part of a group that has damned me in their eyes you know? but i mean the church not the congreation.

5:08 pm

Jillyjill

Okay, well I'm dealing with that in myown life...our youngest is gay

5:08 pm

cosdem

but i do believe in many things Catholic.. i still say my hail marys, etc.

5:08 pm

Jillyjill

So, there may come a time when I change to Episcopalian

5:09 pm

cosdem

we joined an U.U church.. and our priest married us.

5:09 pm

Jillyjill

I have seen recent changes to more hardline conservatism....

5:09 pm

MollyL

It kind of amuses me that the Catholic Church has not reversed itself on homosexuality. So many of the religious are gay. I still say my Hail Marys too Cos. I believe in the Sacred Feminine.

5:09 pm

cosdem

yes i feel it's gotten more conservative after the death of John Paul.

5:10 pm

MollyL

Cos! That is so cool. Congratulations. I bet it was a wonderful ceremony.

5:10 pm

cosdem

it was.. my mother in law flew in for the wedding... my parents didnt come because my dad had to have elective surgery

5:10 pm

cosdem

but we've been married a year and 3 months.

5:10 pm

Jillyjill

We seemed to be moving foward with the Church acknowledging sexual orientation is not a choice

5:11 pm

J. C.

Let's hope so...

5:11 pm

J. C.

And congratulations, cosdem. :)

5:11 pm

MollyL

Jilly, that would be a wonderful thing, because I don't believe it is.

5:11 pm

Jillyjill

but then they say one can't act on it...all I know is the Church lost a dynamite person in my son.

5:11 pm

cosdem

Jilly, in Chicago the arch bishop a few years ago was Joseph Bernardin.. he set up a church for catholic gays.. he was amazing. then he died and the new cardinal just set the whole thing backwards

5:11 pm

J. C.

We have talked about it - don't know if we will or remain as we are, cohabiting.

5:12 pm

cosdem

Hi JC

5:12 pm

J. C.

Hi, cosdem. :)

5:12 pm

cosdem

it's sad though. we moved here to colorado from iowa. and now our marriage isn't legal.

5:12 pm

cosdem

but we still have our marriage certification hanging on the wall! :)

5:12 pm

Jillyjill

LOL..had a pollster phone call today, started with my sex, then age THEN the question about "should marriage be between a man and woman only?"...Don't think they got the answer they wanted!!

5:12 pm

J. C.

Ah. Your youngest is gay, Jillyjill?

5:13 pm

cosdem

lol jilly

5:13 pm

J. C.

Marriage should be for all couples in love who wish to marry. That's the answer I would've given...

5:13 pm

Jillyjill

Yes and has been in a relationship for 3 years, but both are still young so marriage not right now (they live in Massachusetts)

5:13 pm

MollyL

The first thing the Catholic Church has to do is reverse itself on the "sex it only for procreation" thing. All issues with sex and the Catholics seem to flow from that. Even with heterosexual people.

5:14 pm

cosdem

but we're making progress.. 5 years ago gays could not get married anywhere... and today we can get married in 5 states and the district of columbia

5:14 pm

zoozzoom

Good for you, Jilly...i just cannot understand why people have such hang up on people being gay..SO WHAT.

5:14 pm

Jillyjill

Well, it was a computer poll, "push 1 if yes...."

5:14 pm

MollyL

Good answer J.C. I so very much agree.

5:14 pm

Nancy Boy

I couldn't agree more, Julian :)

5:14 pm

J. C.

Yes. As I understand it's taken a while for it to be legalised over there - and is still illegal in some States.

5:14 pm

J. C.

Well I'm gay, MollyL.

5:14 pm

Jillyjill

Love=Love

5:15 pm

MollyL

Well, I'm not J.C. and I still agree with you. : )

5:15 pm

J. C.

:)

5:15 pm

cosdem

the republicans in Iowa are so angry about the legalization that they have targeted the judges .. campaigning on "vote no on retention" in next week's election but even if they lose retention they can't do anything.. it's law of the state and it would take two constitutional conventions to overturn it

5:15 pm

Nancy Boy

Just read back - Cos, that is so sad! But congratulations :)

5:15 pm

J. C.

Of course - anyone should see it that way.

5:15 pm

Jillyjill

Well, not to age myself, but a good friend's parents were mixed race couple. Had to be married in California when they legalized it...it just takes time

5:16 pm

MollyL

I'm the same age as you Jilly and I remember crap like that.

5:16 pm

Jillyjill

I am concerned here in USA that we are getting knee jerk responses now

5:16 pm

J. C.

It's astounding that marriage between a mixed-race couple would've been illegal, really. :/

5:17 pm

cosdem

i got a little miffed at my mom a few weeks ago when she called ryan "my friend".. a few days later i called her again and said "ryans not my friend" she said "i know what do i call him im not sure" i said "husband" she laughed and said ok.. and later when we were hanging up she said "tell your HUSBAND hello and give my love" lol that made me feel good

5:17 pm

Jillyjill

And it fries me that the black vote in California was what helped overturn gay marriages there...

5:17 pm

cosdem

yes jilly.. but the courts overturned that vote.. it's now on appeal..

5:17 pm

J. C.

Awww, cosdem. :) Were your parents at your wedding?

5:18 pm

Jillyjill

Oh, I know...just bigotry should be seen in ALL its forms!

5:18 pm

Minveryork

Good evening to my fellow babblers! How is everyone?

5:18 pm

cosdem

well they were supposed to come but my dad had an infection on his wee-wee and had to have an emergency circumsition.. why they told me the details i do not know.. i got so digusted lol

5:18 pm

Minveryork

By the way, congratulations to all the finishers! YAY!

5:18 pm

Jillyjill

Hey Minv!! Welcome!! I haven

gapeach

Hi there, Min. Hope all is well with you.

5:19 pm

Nancy Boy

Gosh, I'm in a gay mixed-race relationship. I can feel the conservatives shrinking away from me when I walk past them ;)

5:19 pm

cosdem

but ryans mother flew in from colorado and paid for the catering and the alcohol!

5:19 pm

J. C.

Yes. Don't undrestand why they would have to do that. Surely antibiotics would be sufficient?

5:19 pm

Minveryork

Hello gapeach1066. Can't really complain.How are you

5:19 pm

Jillyjill

LOL OMG Cos....

5:20 pm

J. C.

Ah well, Jesse. You don't want people like that around you anyway. ;)

5:20 pm

J. C.

5:20 pm

Jillyjill

5:21 pm

J. C.

cosdem

5:21 pm

Minveryork

5:22 pm

Minveryork

5:22 pm

MollyL

Cos, there are some things we do not need to know about our parents, and that is definitely one of them.

5:22 pm

J. C.

She throws what in your faces?

5:22 pm

cosdem

lol thank you Molly

5:22 pm

cosdem

J. C.

Oh, paying for the move, etc. Sorry. Just caught up.

5:23 pm

cosdem

5:23 pm

Jillyjill

I know...my mother told me things about my dad after he died....finally had to tell her to STOP!!

5:23 pm

cosdem

lol

5:23 pm

Jillyjill

And Cos...you need to tell her she needs to be proud for her investment!!

5:24 pm

cosdem

yeah shes all about money though...

5:24 pm

MollyL

J.C. you are cute. So is your partner. I love it that I can say that to gay men and they don't think I'm hitting on them. : ) Nice pictures of both of you.

J. C.

Both at once?

5:35 pm

5:36 pm

J. C.

You do but it's a nice photo, Jesse.

5:36 pm

Nancy Boy

thanks, Julian :) I'm keeping it because if I back away and squint I think there's something a bit Jim Morrison about it. Not that I'm big-headed or anything.

5:37 pm

hootowl

yep - gone now. Guess it just had to catch up or sumpin....

5:39 pm

cosdem

MollyL

That's awesome Cos, congratulations.

5:46 pm

Nancy Boy

oooh, thank you, Molly! Flattery will get you everywhere ;)

5:47 pm

I don't think you look lonely either NB. More contemplative. It's a good photograph.

5:47 pm

cosdem

5:51 pm

Minveryork

Hello CiociaJudy! How are you doing? Welcome to grid

She already had a son....her parents brought him up. She was a habitual liar...the rest of the family were fine people. I found my birth father when I was 40...I had 10 half siblings and grew up alone. But that was years and years ago. I'm still kicking.

cosdem

9:25 pm

Minski

9:25 pm

Jillyjill

Yep...Scrabbler

9:25 pm

ruru, pav, crossy at least -- hi all!

9:25 pm

cosdem

ah good :)

9:26 pm

torgone

9:26 pm

Great! I am planning the halloween party for my daughter's preschool. Making decorations, getting donations, going crazy, etc. but it's all fun! I love Halloween

9:31 pm

J. C.

Gay male Babblers? Thought my ears were burning.

9:31 pm

Minski

oops. I keep forgetting how old my baby is getting. She's 5 and in kindergarten so it's not her preschool it's her elementary school.

9:31 pm

jillibus

Oh well, NB, you look pensive and beautiful as usual. I mean the beautiful part, not necessarily the pensive part, lol!

9:32 pm

10:03 pm

nrkii

I'm not as set on finishing every grid these days... just want to try to get to 90%, and then decide if it's worth it to go on... RA6 got me to 90% :)

Jillyjill

11:03 pm

jesdraggon

hah. weird words do abound

11:05 pm

jillibus

I believe it has something to do with engines

11:05 pm

jesdraggon

i've got the up8s, but can't seem to find the up6. how's that for backwards?

11:06 pm

jillibus

I had the same problem, jes -- up6 = up + a speedy babbler

11:06 pm

dianedecoder

up + projectile in a pub game

11:06 pm

jillibus

If you've met that person...

11:07 pm

jesdraggon

thanks :) got the 9 from it too

11:07 pm

jillibus

better clue, diane, and hi!

11:07 pm

dianedecoder

hi Jilli :-) how are things on THE island ?

11:07 pm

jesdraggon

and lickety says i'm done but the grid says i have an M left...

11:08 pm

jillibus

windy here, daine!

11:08 pm

dianedecoder

I was looking at your icon themes.... can anyone participate ?

11:08 pm

jillibus

hmpf, jes!

11:08 pm

jesdraggon

is there an m5 that lickety doesn't list?

11:08 pm

dianedecoder

we had a skiff of snow this morning.... more forecast for tomorrow

11:08 pm

jillibus

Absolutely, diane, and if you have some suggestions, just send them to sprite.

11:08 pm

dianedecoder

I don't think so, jes.

11:09 pm

jillibus

no, jes.

11:09 pm

jesdraggon

huh. ok... i have 2 mo5s, what sort of m5 am i missing?

11:10 pm

dianedecoder

I like the one for Friday... could be fun

11:10 pm

jesdraggon

nevermind. i found it.

11:10 pm

jesdraggon

no idea why it was lost here, since i remember entering it, and it copied to licktety.

11:11 pm

jesdraggon

but that's firewords. thanks for all the clues!

11:11 pm

jillibus

Friday icon clues are great fun -- just wish more would participate!

11:11 pm

dianedecoder

way to go, jes

11:11 pm

jillibus

YAY jes!!!

11:13 pm

dianedecoder

You are probably like me, Jilli... you don't see the grid until it is 7 or 8 hours old... then you'd be scrambling for an icon to go with a word. I have hundreds of images on my computer but probably none a babble word !!

11:13 pm

dianedecoder

we'll see what happens on Friday :-)

11:13 pm

jillibus

I use google a lot, diane

11:14 pm

dianedecoder

yes...lots of images there

11:14 pm

jillibus

and I'm nearly always there at the flip

11:14 pm

dianedecoder

that is where many of mine came from

11:15 pm

dianedecoder

yes... the flip for you comes at 10 p.m. your time. I have stayed up a few times, and played a few words before going to bed... but then I DREAM about the grid !!

11:15 pm

jillibus

oh, so do I!

11:16 pm

jillibus

But I'm a night-owl and stay up far too late -- try to quite at minight (pumpkinphobia)

11:16 pm

jillibus

*quit

11:16 pm

dianedecoder

as with anything new that I've done repeatedly on the computer. Used to happen when I played Text Twist for hours.

11:17 pm

jillibus

I never played Text Twist -- is it a speed game like most of them?

11:17 pm

m9f9l

hi all

11:18 pm

jillibus

hi m9 :)

11:18 pm

dianedecoder

it is timed, yes... an anagram game.

11:18 pm

dianedecoder

hi m9

11:18 pm

jillibus

I don't do timed games -- well, this is timed too, I guess, but 24 hours...

11:19 pm

dalia

de7, anyone? I want it to be the gerund of de4, but it tells me that's not a word...

11:19 pm

jillibus

de7 doesn't exist -- it's a mistake

11:19 pm

jillibus

Lickety shows 160 words but there are only 159

11:20 pm

dalia

ah---how odd!

11:20 pm

jillibus

it happens every sooften -- Lickety uses a slightly different dictionary

11:20 pm

m9f9l

dhelp with ga 5/6 please?

11:21 pm

dalia

I see--thanks for letting me know!

11:22 pm

jillibus

...trying to think of clues for those ga words...

11:23 pm

jillibus

g + make ** **fer for that item up for bargaining.

11:23 pm

m9f9l

thanks jilli!

11:23 pm

jillibus
