As if I can't look back. :P

3:16 am

hello sprite. Terra filled in your spot when you weren't here.....

3:37 am

hah found a jiddish word right away. One day I am going to learn that language.

3:38 am

grannyrose

well the driveway is still th5, back lawn gives a new meaning to the word "swamp"

3:38 am

sprite

hi rubyfoo, yes am sorry, had a couple of rough days. Especially sorry to have missed Annie's birthday.

3:38 am

rubyfoo

are you OK now? I didn't know it was Annie's birthday :(

3:38 am

3:41 am

rubyfoo

yiddish and dutch

3:42 am

sprite

oh! Yes indeed. It is sort of in between german and dutch.

3:43 am

sprite

came across a jiddish saying yesterday: Man tracht and God lacht. Men try and God laughs.

3:43 am

lynxxx

I like that

3:44 am

sprite

and = und, of course, grin

3:45 am

rubyfoo

how similar is Flemish?

3:45 am

sprite

yeah, puts things in perspective, doesn't it

3:47 am

sprite

very. Flemish has most words similar to dutch, but it sounds softer and gentler and many words they use are old-fashioned for dutch. In fact, Flemish and dutch are so similar that many people forget they are two different languages all the same.
And sometimes the same word has a whole different meaning. Like 'poepen', which in dutch is 'to poo' and in Flemish is a very rude word for doing the sexual act.

3:49 am

rubyfoo

too funny. It's like the Fr word "baiser" which really means to kiss, but is used in a much more vulgar way. Husband's Fr teacher said "Never use it!"

3:49 am

sprite

grin, they don't tell the dutch kids about that! Will inform my children to never use it either. What can they say for 'to kiss'?

3:50 am

grannyrose

dee, can only find one sl, same for you?

3:50 am

rubyfoo

embrasser

3:50 am

VolleymomDee

only one he 4

zoozzoom

Well le4 just say i can eat anything and i mean anything, and i will not put any weight on wh4 so ever.

carleekat

5:23 am

grannyrose

5:23 am

rubyfoo

hahah sprite

5:24 am

carleekat

might be hard times...but they are going to be happy hard times...

5:24 am

rubyfoo

my sympathy, carlee, for what you must be going through

5:24 am

Sally-catlover

Carlee, I have always thought that you can live with someone if you no longer love them, but not if you no longer like them.

5:24 am

rubyfoo

in the dictionary next to di**, it shows many of our exes!\

5:24 am

sprite

I wish you all kinds of happiness and relaxation, carlee, and freedom of irritation! You will have loads of energy once you are free of that, I think.

5:24 am

rubyfoo

sorry, rough talk!

5:25 am

carleekat

no liking happening here... irritation..annoyance...impatience... pity

5:25 am

grannyrose

know wh4 you mean. when my ex died earlier this year, had a tough time trying not to gloat....but th5 you go....

5:26 am

rubyfoo

when I got sick, 20 years ago, my ex, from whom I'd been divorced for a long time, wasn't even sympathetic to our son!

5:26 am

carleekat

well..i doubt I;ll gloat...he does have good qualities...but he just beat me down so often... and he is good to the kids....

5:27 am

Sally-catlover

I don't wish my ex any ill, and in fact I have tried to bring him and my son together again, but I think he's a complete (insert rude word of your choice).

5:27 am

carleekat

arse

5:28 am

grannyrose

my ex even on his death bed, denied the right for my sons for me to be at his funeral, to comfort them

5:28 am

rubyfoo

I never say a bad word about my ex to our son, but he still says many about me!

5:28 am

sprite

well, my ex-boyfriend (not husband) was an alcoholic and agressive in words and with his hands (not with me, the latter, though) and he could be a total ass, but th5 was a lot of good in him too and I never forgot that.

5:28 am

rubyfoo

and it's 40 yrs!!

5:28 am

Sally-catlover

Not much he could do about it, though, granny!

5:29 am

carleekat

they are odd beasts at times

5:29 am

sprite

some people are like that, rubyfoo. They cannot take responsibility for their part of the divorce etc and feel the need to keep blaming the other party. Very hurtful, but also total nonsense.

5:29 am

rubyfoo

that is horrible, granny

5:29 am

grannyrose

same he4, ruby, in fact my ex's family have so poisoned my eldest son's mind that he hasn't spoken to me for 4 years.

5:30 am

carleekat

( and i hate when i start re entering words i have already put in..)

5:30 am

sprite

so very sad, rose :(

5:30 am

carleekat

that is so sad rmc

5:30 am

grannyrose

sally, the last words my eldest spoke to me was " don't even think of coming, or I will throw you out"

5:30 am

sprite

well at least you can join us in the PB now, carlee

5:31 am

rubyfoo

that is so awful, granny!

5:31 am

rubyfoo

we are developing a nice coffeeklatsch in the pb!

5:31 am

Sally-catlover

Oh, sad, granny, but ha** hurts the people feeling it in the end, not you.

5:31 am

carleekat

oooh... i didnt have that 7...how cool is that...gee..when i drop a word unknowingly at least it is a good one

5:31 am

grannyrose

ah, well, wh4 can i do? he's 35 now, and a fully grown man.

5:32 am

sprite

wtg carlee

5:32 am

carleekat

(((rmcc)))

5:32 am

rubyfoo

why isn't sterno a word?

5:32 am

grannyrose

* smiling at you babe * and hugs all around

5:33 am

sprite

nothing you can do, rose, except living on the way you feel is right, and keeping your he5 open to him. Things can change, and may they will. But if they don't, at least you have done the right thing and you are not consumed by ha4.

5:33 am

grannyrose

ruby, change the last letter

5:33 am

rubyfoo

I thought that might get me into the pb, painlessly!

5:34 am

grannyrose

bbl, have to do something about dinner

5:35 am

carleekat

5:38 am

Sally-catlover

5:47 am

carleekat

5:48 am

sprite

th5 are 6, carlee. Just play with the endings.

5:48 am

carleekat

Sally-catlover

Congrats ruby!

5:51 am

5:52 am

sprite

monkeys are learning too, rubyfoo

5:52 am

rubyfoo

6:06 am

sprite

hi bichon. VolleymomDee posted a list, and in grannyrose's profile you can find the Ts and Ss

6:08 am

Sally-catlover

My English grammar teacher would turn in her grave at the comparative endings allowed on Babble - like the ho 8/45 for instance. Stamps foot and has a little rant.

6:08 am

lynxxx

I would agree with her - very awkward

6:08 am

sprite

I couldn't agree more, Sally. In Babble I try everything now, however silly.

6:09 am

Sally-catlover

And it would jar on my ears if someone used it.

6:09 am

bichon

ho8?...clue perhaps ( back with coffee flavoured with a drop pf vanilla from my baking cupboard to treat myself)

6:10 am

lynxxx

from ho6 not deceitful

6:10 am

Sally-catlover

More truthful.

6:10 am

bichon

ty lynxxx

6:10 am

Sally-catlover

At least, I suppose that's the meaning since as far as I'm concerned there is no such word!

6:11 am

carleekat

damn..i tried the EE ending in there too...babble didnt take it...

6:11 am

carleekat

do we know what the 10 is?

6:11 am

bichon

yes, absolutes, cannot take a comparative, like unique

6:11 am

sprite

vanilla is such a consoling scent.

ha10, carlee. Afrikaans word.

6:11 am

Sally-catlover

ha 10/91

6:12 am

carleekat

and....so we have any idea beyond ha10 what the ha10 might be?

6:12 am

Sally-catlover

African animal, carlee.

6:13 am

Sally-catlover

any large African antelope of the genus Alcelaphus, having ringed horns that curve backward: some species are endangered.

6:13 am

carleekat

ok...my face just did a sprite eyebrow raise at that...gone hunting

6:13 am

Sally-catlover

So now you know "-)

6:14 am

bichon

Got it, thank you

6:14 am

bichon

I've actually seen them in Africa

6:14 am

Sally-catlover

If you get the ha 4/5 first, which is a kind of deer, you are half way.

6:15 am

sprite

the bodypart/organ of love minus one letter, combines with animal with a double vowel in the middle.

6:15 am

carleekat

yay..got it:)

6:15 am

carleekat

thanks sally

6:16 am

carleekat

still not halfway tho

6:16 am

Sally-catlover

I'm finding it particularly difficult to chat today without using words in the grid :-)

6:16 am

carleekat

i...am ignoring that

6:17 am

sprite

lol always that way with big grids. We are more forgiving with big grids, also, so don't worry ;)

6:17 am

carleekat

with 403 words to find...if i drop one in conversation....how much closer will they be to finishing...not near as if was a 100 grid

6:18 am

Sally-catlover

Actually sometimes I don't notice until other draw attention to the word, then I immediately look back to find it! That does more ha** than good, in that case.

6:18 am

sprite

yeah but it is so much fun!

6:18 am

carleekat

like the 7 i dropped earlier that i had yet to find

6:19 am

sprite

6:22 am

Sterno and novy not accepted.

6:56 am

Sally-catlover

what does novy mean kaplin?

6:58 am

Kaplan the Magne

Short for Nova Scotia lox--people just say novy. I think it's a cultural thing. It goes on bagels.

6:59 am

carleekat

w's done :)....first letter greyed

6:59 am

Kaplan the Magne

I think it's not really a word.

6:59 am

Sally-catlover

Prob counts as a proper noun.

7:04 am

NonoNanette

morning babblers

8:20 am

NonoNanette

Luv sprite has one in her profile but it doesnt seem to be complete either

8:21 am

LuvWordGames

thanks Nono

8:26 am

LuvWordGames

Sprite's list seems to be missing 3 words

8:27 am

NonoNanette

and i think they are t's she only has 61, should be 64

8:27 am

LuvWordGames

thanks that's helpful info.

8:27 am

NonoNanette

but better than volleydee's

8:28 am

LuvWordGames

I knew we wouldn't have a Lickety list today because of the extra words in yesterday's list. Too bad it's such a big grid without Lickety

8:29 am

NonoNanette

yeah i feared that as well this one is huge

8:29 am

LuvWordGames

yeah, haven't had one this large in a while. And of course I'll be gone for a good part of the day

8:47 am

Trifioso

big grids mean very quiet chog. boo

8:47 am

CiociaJudy

{{trif}} how's FIona?

8:47 am

CiociaJudy

*Fiona

8:48 am

Trifioso

she is doing quite well, other than a splitting headache. Please, call her secondo here in babble land,okay?

8:48 am

CiociaJudy

np sorry

8:48 am

Trifioso

not at all! it's my weird paranoia, after all!

8:49 am

Trifioso

the biggest issues she faces now are infection in the wound site, and after fears of walking out in the dark, and the woods. can't blame her though!

8:49 am

Trifioso

also, rumors are FLYING at school - to hear the kids tell it, she is one step away from the ICU....lol

8:50 am

CiociaJudy

oh the halls of gossip are alive I'm sure

8:50 am

CiociaJudy

I feel bad for her because now she will have those fears; all because of some idiotic (I assume) kid

8:50 am

CiociaJudy

I feel bad for her because now she will have those fears; all because of some idiotic (I assume) kid

8:50 am

CiociaJudy

oops

8:51 am

Trifioso

i did phone the school to tell someone what really happened, so they could keep things in check. we have the day off today, but she will be back tomorrow and I am sure she will spend the day explaining it a million time

8:51 am

Trifioso

I agree, judy. and thanks so much for asking after her. you are so kind to remember!

8:51 am

CiociaJudy

will they ever be able to find out who did it?

8:51 am

CiociaJudy

did she see anyone?

8:52 am

CiociaJudy

I wanna shake the living crap out of that idiot

8:52 am

Trifioso

we filed a police report, but not much hope there. My bet is on the gossip factor -- whoever it was will eventually tell someone, and they hopefully will tell us. no, she didn't see anyone. but those kind of idiots always manage to trip themselves up, don't they?

8:53 am

CiociaJudy

I sure hope so. He'll just keep doing stupid things like that until he's hauled in and gets his a** kicked

8:55 am

Trifioso

ugh -- just found my least favorite bird in the grid -- the one that keeps eating all the fish out of our pond!

8:56 am

robwhy

we have a goldfish pond too. Thx for the clue...knew immediately which bird

8:57 am

Trifioso

they are pretty to look at, I'll grant them, but oh, they are greedy piggies! and so RUDE! they always kick over my plants

There in the night stars are now right.
Eons have passed: now then at last
Prison walls break, Old Ones awake!
They will return: mankind will learn

Clearly, you are a sadist, Red.

12:29 pm

onyx

just like when i began playing this game and you had to solo or get and give clues

12:29 pm

redturtlehead

I never use the list til I have only about 40-50 left, so this is to my advantage! plus I am really sort of stuck on couch, my legs are hurting.

12:31 pm

redturtlehead

it is just too confusing when there are tons of blanks!

12:32 pm

Judi

Have all of you Americans voted yet?

12:34 pm

Judi

Ice up, Red.

12:35 pm

redturtlehead

it's ok, it was a 12 mile run that seemed to go on forever, very frustrating with pace, so I am glad to sit.

taking a much needed break from the madness, and find madness in babble.... a huge grid with no lickety=increased stress

12:46 pm

Mom

true, Sprite has one in her profile

12:46 pm

onyx

why no lickety?

12:46 pm

roncook

thamk you all fireworks at last.

wow, We do have school today.

12:47 pm

Mom

so many of the schools are used for polling places.

12:47 pm

roncook

the stats in sprites profile is missing 1 TE 7/28

12:48 pm

SeaSpray

Congrats Ron

12:48 pm

Mom

so as to not go to school on Monday and be off Tuesday, they close both days

12:48 pm

Mom

thanks Ron, will remember that

12:48 pm

SeaSpray

No school here, that's where we vote

12:48 pm

MollyL

Halfway and grayed the first R. That was my goal. Everything else is gravy.

12:49 pm

redturtlehead

that makes sense, here we use churches and libraries, but when I was a kid I recall they did have voting at my school while we had classes...I think they are more careful abotu who arrives at schools these days.

12:49 pm

Mom

oh they are for sure Red

12:50 pm

Dorens

they vote here.. just keep the polling places as separate as possible

12:50 pm

Erda

Does anyone know why is there no Lickety today?

12:50 pm

inge

ve

12:50 pm

inge

f

12:50 pm

bichon

some school districts here have no school in elementary schools where the voting takes place, but school in middle and high school

12:50 pm

redturtlehead

Hi Inge!

12:50 pm

msideb01

because Lickety is out voting?

12:50 pm

Mom

Erda, when Lickety has extra words in the grid like yesterday, it takes him a day to reset the program he uses

12:50 pm

Mom

hi Inge

12:51 pm

Mom

so I am told

12:51 pm

Erda

Ty Mom!

12:51 pm

Judi

Lickety is in Australia.

12:51 pm

NonoNanette

no lickety today because there were extra words in his list yesterday, that knocks his auto progam off

12:51 pm

Mom

you're welcome Erda

12:51 pm

bichon

is that true Nono?

12:51 pm

Mom

Erda, there is a list in Sprite's profile

12:52 pm

Judi

There is also a list in Bab Anon.

12:52 pm

redturtlehead

Haz said what Nono said yesterday, so I suppose that is what occurs.

12:52 pm

NonoNanette

yes bichon it is true, he came in one day asking what the extra word was the day before and explained it

12:52 pm

Erda

Yes, Mom, I know. Of course, it WOULD happen on a 400-word grid...

12:53 pm

Mom

I thought the same thing Erda

12:53 pm

redturtlehead

403 Erda, those 3 are important!

12:53 pm

NonoNanette

and on a day it seems i have a thousand things to do

12:53 pm

Erda

Suuuure

12:54 pm

redturtlehead

LOL, I have no plans but sit on couch, so I am good.

12:54 pm

NonoNanette

at least i have the voting out of the way

12:54 pm

Mom

I think I'll go and sit for a spell as well. ((Hugs)) to all of you

12:54 pm

bichon

There's no way I'm getting to finish this grid, list or no list

12:54 pm

redturtlehead

i did indeed vote.

12:56 pm

bichon

I did an absentee ballot because I was supposed to be going to CA today, but I'm not going cause my hubby is going to be on Millionaire next week

12:56 pm

redturtlehead

neat Bichon!

12:56 pm

NonoNanette

omg Bichon, has it already taped?

12:56 pm

Judi

Way cool, Bichon!

12:56 pm

bichon

No, taping next week. Show on in late June!!!

12:57 pm

NonoNanette

oh you will have to remind us all when it is time for it to air

12:57 pm

bichon

I will. Everyone seems to have it on at a different time of day

12:58 pm

Judi

Phffth. Bichon will be too busy travelling the world and spending the million by then.

12:58 pm

NonoNanette

ours airs at 5:30 pm

12:58 pm

bichon

When was the last time anyone won a million on that show

12:59 pm

NonoNanette

I dont think anyone has won it since Meredith started doing it

12:59 pm

redturtlehead

oh I hope he wins! very exciting.

12:59 pm

bichon

I think the goal is to get to the $100,000 question and then walk with your earnings

12:59 pm

NonoNanette

i remember Regis having a couple of million winners

1:00 pm

NonoNanette

yeah thats pretty much the goal with the new format

1:00 pm

bichon

We went to sit in the studio audience last week and they had a guest host, Sherry Sheperd from "The View"

1:00 pm

NonoNanette

I wish him much luck Bichon!

1:01 pm

bichon

Thank you all. I will be in the audience next to my daughter Becky

1:01 pm

SeaSpray

That is awesome bichon!

1:01 pm

NonoNanette

will be be sworn to secrecy about how much he wins until it airs?

1:01 pm

bichon

Definitely. My problem is my daughter, Blabby

1:02 pm

NonoNanette

heheee I would have trouble keeping quiet about it

1:02 pm

redturtlehead

Bichon, I think you need to come on and give us a thimbs up or down....

1:02 pm

redturtlehead

err, thumbs...

1:02 pm

bichon

I will say he was happy with the results or very happy with the results

1:03 pm

Judi

Is Blabby aware of what Daddy is going to do? If not, keep the little songbird in the don't know.

1:03 pm

redturtlehead

:D

1:03 pm

SeaSpray

How do you qualify for the show bichon?

1:03 pm

bichon

Blabby is a grown woman with a child and a facebook account

1:04 pm

NonoNanette

oh geez cut off her internet LOL

1:04 pm

Judi

Oh. LOL! Well then, whatever secrets you may have will be doomed.

1:04 pm

redturtlehead

blabby....does she know her nickname? that will for sure shut her up for a while...!

1:05 pm

bichon

You go to NYC Sea and take the test. 30 question about a wide variety of subjects. Not that many people pass. Then they interview all the passers. Then they tape the people they like and put you in the contestant pool. If yo're lucky, they will call you.

1:05 pm

NonoNanette

that IS a very long time to keep that sort of secret

1:05 pm

Judi

Put all the MENSA friends on the "phone a friend" list.

1:06 pm

SeaSpray

Was just curious, best of luck to you hubby

1:06 pm

bichon

Blabby doesn't know her nickname, but I doubt she could keep that information from her family and friends. We're not telling anyone who isn't in the audience. We did that when he was on Jeopardy many years ago

1:06 pm

NonoNanette

they dont use phone a friend anymore do they?

1:06 pm

bichon

No more call friend lifeline

1:06 pm

bichon

You can ask the audience and you get to "jump" two questions

1:06 pm

Judi

Whaaaa?? Guess that shows how long it's been since I've watched that show.

1:06 pm

SeaSpray

He was on Jeopardy? wow!!! That is my favorite show!

1:07 pm

Judi

I suppose now you are just allowed to Google it.

1:07 pm

bichon

He was on in the mid-90's. He won one game [small amount of money] and A trip to Hawaii for two!!!

1:07 pm

1:40 pm

bethn

it is amazing how dependent we are. he has been here since before i started playing. In the "good old days" there was no list. i don't think i could have devoted the time necessary to finish daily

1:40 pm

hootowl

the story I got was that because of the extra words he has to redo his program. Might actually have one later I would think.

1:41 pm

hootowl

There is a list in my profile

1:41 pm

rubyfoo

I almost never finish bethn, unless somebody carries me along for the last few. I've only finished once without help and it was a smallish (100+) grid

1:41 pm

bethn

yes, he has to find the extra words and th4 jiggle something i guess

1:42 pm

zoozzoom

Thanks, Hootowl, going to it now.

cosdem

4:48 pm

JBV

4:49 pm

cosdem

lol

4:49 pm

dcseain

i got no electioneering calls happily. They've bombarded my email instead. Including Mr Wolf of the VA 10th. Mind you i live in the VA 8th.

4:49 pm

cosdem

4:49 pm

cosdem

we got calls from president clinton, obama, both senators today and yesterday

4:49 pm

4:52 pm

JBV

oh, yes, m9 - I ordered my father's birth certificate microfilm at the FHC (saved me a trip to NYC). I didn't know how to find an index for it, but the FHC lady is SO GREAT!

4:52 pm

dcseain

4:52 pm

m9f9l

4:53 pm

m9f9l

ah! did you get that off immigration? (they usually had to declare who they were going to)

4:53 pm

JBV

hi Min!

4:55 pm

JBV

yes, it was on the passenger manifest, but my FHC guru also just happened to notice (!) by browsing around that this brother had the same parents - the woman has an amazing memory. It's as if it's her own family.

4:55 pm

Minveryork

I need to get on my political soap box&say something important here.

4:55 pm

m9f9l

LOL... that's how Darlene in our FHC is!

4:56 pm

JBV

I guess after doing this work for many years, it becomes second nature. I'm in awe right now.

4:56 pm

JBV

ok Min......

4:56 pm

Minveryork

I have something important to say
Today is Election Day
Please vote today if you care
Please vote today if you dare
Please let your voices be heard
If you don't, then that's absurd
Just cuz it's not a Presidential election
Doesn't mean you shouldn't make your selection
Go out and excersise your 15th amendement right
Go vote in the morning, noon or at night

4:57 pm

m9f9l

4:57 pm

m9f9l

se6/21 the portuguese Mr.

5:46 pm

MollyL

se 6/18...Howard *****, radio djay + first vowel

5:46 pm

Dorens

yw j. i find yiddish misspellings oddly disconcerting, but I suppose they are just alternative spellings and we should rejoice that it is one less word to find

5:46 pm

MollyL

Crap that was st 6.18

5:47 pm

MollyL

se 6/18....one who offers people a chair

5:47 pm

zoozzoom

se6/18 calm, peaceful

5:47 pm

5:48 pm

Howard, radio DJ?

5:49 pm

zoozzoom

sh 7/32 roof over your head....the sh6 is a different spelling .

5:49 pm

m9f9l

yes. I don't listen to him..

5:49 pm

JBV

I think there are different ways to represent the yiddish pronunciation in English (just a guess) -

5:50 pm

sammysmom

last sh 6/21 ??

5:50 pm

Gail

Does anybody have a clue for the very last st6/18? That seems to be the one I am missing.

5:50 pm

Dorens

i guess, since it originally was an oral language

5:50 pm

bichon

Yiddish is written in Hebrew characters which don't correspond exactly to English letters

5:50 pm

Dorens

(i think?)

5:51 pm

Dorens

yes but i had always seen it spelled in the 6 letter version, bichon-- you too?

5:51 pm

5:51 pm

lil*monkey

5:51 pm

bichon

yes, I do, but you never know with these transliterations

5:51 pm

Dorens

indeed monkey, crazy, eh?

5:52 pm

lil*monkey

i don't think i even want to start

5:52 pm

lynxxx

last sh6.21 same as the yiddish 7 before , drop last vowel

5:52 pm

m9f9l

you could just go for nbt

5:52 pm

Dorens

speaking of sicilian, jbv, have you read the bestiary by nicholas christopher?

5:52 pm

5:54 pm

MollyL

Lil, I don't think I could complete a 403 word grid if I had the whole day with nothing to do. As it is, with 9 hours of work and a couple of hundred other things to take care of, I'm luck to get halfway with a grid this massive.

5:54 pm

6:00 pm

m9f9l

6:44 pm

redturtlehead

the results are not looking good for Florida.

6:44 pm

Dorens

just wish he had picked a time when lickety was up.. i don't mind big grids, i don't mind lickety's day off now and then, but 400 words + no lickety means my entire evening is on babble. and i do have other things need doing

6:44 pm

redturtlehead

And the Orlando Magic game was cancelled due to some Aesbestos in the Knicks arena.

6:45 pm

72 Temple Owl

er...have you considered not playing?

6:45 pm

Dorens

i am so afraid to hear the election results -- New York governor, Connecticut Senator, Florida, Nevada, the list goes on and on

6:46 pm

Dorens

me? not play? i really should have, but too late now, down to the final 98 (which could take two hours)

6:46 pm

72 Temple Owl

no. not that long. one letter at a time

6:46 pm

mixi6

must go paint part of ceiling, then look at election results.

6:46 pm

redturtlehead

I am a bit surprised about the Florida results, I am so so not happy with the Governor race...I am not that anti Republican but Rick Scott had a bad rep in the medical field due to his fraud cases, but yet they are electing him.

6:47 pm

Dorens

what? a fraudulent politician? unheard of!!

7:52 pm

Minveryork

He 4/5 is a story of clues for those who need it. Was disappointed to see such a big grid when I en 5/10ed Babbleland today. I was very bu 4/6 today and didn't have much time to Babble.I knew I wouldn't finish the grid. I ha 4/5 it when I don't finish.My monkeys were not my he4/5. When I tried to ho4/5 in on them they saw the grid size they re 5/14ed & ro 4/4ed "No way are we helping you!" I tried to entice them w/be 4/6 but that did not work. Monkeys just st5/10ed at me. They always have to te 4/4 my patience.I gave them a st5/10 look and I beat them with a be 4/6 but that only got me a few more words out of them. They only found the easy on4/4. The ne 5/16 of them to not be th 6/21ed by my wrath!They're used to me ha 4/6ing them with my be5/14.I wanted to te 4/4 their heads off. Th 4/5 I kicked them in the re 4/4 & se4/4 them on their merry way knowing I was not going to finish anyway. They ran off to ro 4/5 in the fields with the ha 4/5s.I'd ra 4/4 their behavior a negative th 5/12. I did the be4/6 I could to find a few more words but I got no way ne 4/4 finishing. Now my story is ov 4/7. Hubby is ho 5/18 over me because he wa 5/18 to use the computer. If I don't give him computer soon he'll become a ra6/18 and ra4/4 on about me hogging the computer. He ra 5/10 all the time about it. Now I am going to get out of this se 4/4 and be an ea 5/10 and have some dinner. Then I'm going go watch tv and he 4/5 what the political analysts have to say about the election for the re 4/4 of the nite. Goodbye Babblers!

I was watching Babbler JC on TV the night before last in 'Monte Carlo or Bust'. His butter pat wasn't good to look at, but I'm sure it tasted nice, and it really wasn't very nice of he and Zoe's host to tell them it would take an hour to turn it into butter.

10:24 pm

Pinikula

butter pat?

10:25 pm

Pinikula

doesn't it take awhile to churn butter?

10:25 pm

Pinikula

..or not?

10:25 pm

Pinikula

Jac...do you know if it's on hulu or youtube?

10:27 pm

Jacula

Churning butter takes as long as it takes. About 10 mins in modern times.

10:27 pm

Pinikula

ahhhh ...

10:27 pm

Jacula

The TV programme? Not sure. Will check.

10:27 pm

dcseain

20 min on a step churn starting with 5 gallons of liquid

10:29 pm

Jacula

Or ages and ages using a hand turned churn from Victorian times.

10:30 pm

Pinikula

I suppose you can tell I've never made butter before ;)

10:31 pm

Jacula

http://www.tvrage.com/shows/id-26792

10:31 pm

Jacula

That's the ip for the TV series.

10:31 pm

Pinikula

thx jac ;)

10:32 pm

Jacula

Pini - if you whip cream up too much past the peaking stage, you'll get butter.

10:33 pm

Pinikula

maybe someday I'll take a stab at it ;)

10:33 pm

Jacula

Homemade cream and butter taste like nothing you've ever bought in a shop. No salt, no preservatives. Heavenly.

10:34 pm

Jacula

I meant Jodie, not Zoe, re JC's Monte Carlo partner. I've no idea why I get those names mixed up.

10:35 pm

Pinikula

opened the link, but can't figure out how to watch the episode

10:37 pm

Jacula

It was a pity that Penny, using her body and legs as a last resort to win the round, didn't realise that the judge was gay. The Eiffel Tower they were given is the one my son brought back from Paris for me many years ago. I use it as a ring holder.

10:37 pm

Pinikula

:)

10:38 pm

Jacula

Pini - you could try clicking on the links, but it was on ITV. You might need the silver player to view it.

10:39 pm

Pinikula

thx anyway, jac...I'll keep an eye out for it ;)

10:41 pm

Jacula

Pini - I've checked ITV.com and it doesn't show it. Sorry.

10:42 pm

Pinikula

's ok...I'm sure JC can hook me up if I get too impatient! :)

10:43 pm

Jacula

I'm sure he can.

10:43 pm

Pinikula

10:44 pm

10:44 pm

Sheesh, John Boehner is getting all teary!

10:47 pm

dcseain

evening, jilli

10:47 pm

jillibus

He has 11 brothers and sisters!

10:48 pm

Jacula

I'm not sure JC is a fan of mine since the time I questioned the veracity of a group of famous gays suddenly arriving he4 in Babble. However, only the Boy George figure has really ever been rude to me. So, we'll see. I do think JC is genuine, even if I don't always agree with his opinions.

10:48 pm

jillibus

Hi dc :)

10:48 pm

dcseain

we had paper ballots this year instead of electronic machines :D

10:48 pm

jillibus

JC is indeed genuine.

10:49 pm

dcseain

yes, he is

10:49 pm

Pinikula

agreed ;)

10:49 pm

Jacula

However, JC still didn't answer me when I was going to his show, and ditto to another Babbler. But maybe that's just a showbiz, people in the office thing. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt, and no doubt he'll come in here and tell me to eff orf.

10:51 pm

Jacula

I think JC is the real thing, but I'm not sure the others are.

10:51 pm

dcseain

George is, though he tries to stay on the down low.

10:52 pm

Pinikula

I only know of 2 and believe both of them to be who they are...not sure who the others may be...not that it really makes a difference...I suppose anyone could be anyone online ;)

10:52 pm

dcseain

hm. missing a st5.10 in the long run.

10:52 pm

dcseain

fonud it :)

10:53 pm

Boy George? The one who effed and blinded at me and told me where to get off when I greeted him by saying, 'Hello Mr. O'Dowd'?

10:53 pm

MPittore

dc I'm missing an st 5/10 also..monkeyed myself into a tizzy

10:53 pm

jillibus

George is and has been fun here. I don't know of other "famous gays" who have been here.

10:53 pm

dcseain

yes. he wants very much to keep low profile re that on here if possible

10:53 pm

Jacula

That's the guy who was in prison for having sex with minors in Bangkok?

10:53 pm

MPittore

only 3 left...

10:53 pm

10:54 pm

dcseain

10:55 pm

jillibus

No, George didn't do that. A guy he hired as a model made claims which were untrue.

10:55 pm

Jacula

'yes. he wants very much to keep low profile re that on here if possible' I'll bet he does!

10:55 pm

dcseain

change last letter of the st5 st5 for last st5 in that group

10:55 pm

jillibus

And this is no place for such a discussion.

10:55 pm

dcseain

indeed, jilli. enough said.

10:59 pm

Yep - but the clue worked, did it not?

10:59 pm

No!

10:59 pm

Good, I'm not aloner.
