flosey
I didn't go to bridge tonight
1:17 am
m9f9l
did she stay at bridge? or go home in the outage?
1:18 am
flosey
power wasn't out in the hospital area and the Senior's centre, where we play bridge, didn't lose power
1:19 am
flosey
no one who was already at the club would have known about the outages until they left
1:20 am
flosey
I'll try to call, see if she's home ok and power returned up there
1:22 am
m9f9l
as soon as the power went out, I'd fill a couple bottles with hot water while still got some and get under blankets with them!LOL

My poor Bear has no stuffing, lost his growl, has one ear and one leg, no eyes, , and a tirny paw mended with navy sock-wool. Of course he's almost hairless -- a sign of too much loving.
1:31 am
flosey
we had one like that Christine, our first son found it out in the snow and brought it in to warm it - was gray and black - until I put it through the wash!
1:31 am
flosey
turned out it was a panda
1:33 am
flosey
and by the time it went through all four kids, it was threadbare - when one of the kids was sick on it, I figured it was time to give him an honourable burial
1:34 am
VolleymomDee
btw do we have lickety today?
1:35 am
flosey
looks like he's here but with an extra word again

Our aptartment was like a zoo - tw dogs two cats, hamster, goldfish, a parakeet that wore a harness pinned to Vanessa's blouse and came 'walkies' with us - Jack said it looked like the circus was in town, when he saw us taking the dogs/cats for their evening stroll.

in a release today, the New Oxford American Dictionary defended Palin's use of the word. "From a strictly lexical interpretation of the different contexts in which Palin has used 'refudiate,' we have concluded that neither 'refute' nor 'repudiate' seems consistently precise, and that 'refudiate' more or less stands on its own, suggesting a general sense of 'reject,' " the New Oxford American Dictionary said in a press release.

aw such a cute bear, jilli
1:58 am

Not as unkind as names like Moon Unit, imho.
2:15 am

"Moon Unit"? o.0
2:15 am
sprite
Moon Unit??? Oh my god, that is awful. What is wrong with those people? Don't they realise their child will carry that name a whole life long?
2:16 am
jillibus
Moon Unit's brother is Dweezel or something. Their dad is Frank Zappa (I think).
2:17 am
sprite
parents like that should have been castrated before conception.

I forgot it was supposed to be a party -- should have posed my old guy with a bottle of booze or something.
2:30 am
jillibus
But he looks a bit squiffed anyway
2:31 am

I'd say anything you and bear like together is a party... no need to wear party hats to enjoy yourselves :)

it used to be, in France, they could only use saints' names which was much more dignified (except in Brittanty which is another matter)
2:36 am
rubyfoo
but now they use any ole thing -- mispellings, strange combinations, etc.
2:37 am
flosey
don't people of the catholic faith have to have a saint's name?
2:37 am
sprite
sorry, must be off, back later
2:37 am
jillibus
I don't think they all do, flosey
2:38 am
rubyfoo
they fudge it by adding proper names at the Christenings
2:39 am
flosey
ah, the french girls I lived with in Toronto did, and claimed that was the case, but perhaps it was more of a local ritual
2:39 am
jillibus
maybe it's a French thing.
2:39 am
flosey
oh yes, it was usually a second name
2:40 am
flosey
on of them had a sister by same name (they hadn't expected one to live)
2:40 am
rubyfoo
that is strange
2:41 am
flosey
I thought so!
2:41 am
rubyfoo

Good morning zooz. Yes, I was able to get all 7 leading from that fairly early on.

rubyfoo
back, chimney sweep is gone, very politely and neatly!
4:12 am
Sally-catlover
Yes thanks zooz. At last seem to be coming to the end of this cold/cough/throat bug that is going round. Only thing keeping me awake at the moment is trying to set up a wireless network upstairs with homeplugs and an Airport Express! Last night I managed to lose the network completely, which wasn't the object of the exercise.
4:12 am
rubyfoo
now I have 20 minutes to myself1
4:13 am
zoozzoom
Bet you have a nice fire going now, ruby :-)
4:14 am
zoozzoom
Oh dear, Sally, i thought most wireless networks auto tune themselves, you just put in your wep key or what ever it is called.
4:14 am
rubyfoo
no, that is husband's job!
4:17 am
zoozzoom
i see you have an `apple` computer then , sally, what is your, wireless network called, i will see if i can find a step by step instructions on the net.

4:20 am
rubyfoo
getting towel
4:20 am
Sally-catlover
Thanks zooz. I have step by step instructions. It seems to be the combination with the homeplugs, though I found questions and answers about that too. I think the problem exists between chair and keyboard!
4:21 am
zoozzoom
LOL, bless you, sally, i am sure you will solve it.
4:22 am
Sally-catlover
Gosh, a needlecase and a mountain all in one day!

Wonderful to hear you are doing very well! You are so strong.
4:53 am
Sally-catlover
Hi sprite.
4:53 am
zoozzoom
Not listed i have a ey9 and there is only one 9.

4:54 am
Sally-catlover
{{sprite}}
4:54 am
Sally-catlover
no sprite.
4:54 am
Norma
I think it is an extra word on Licketys lits MollyL
4:55 am
sprite
Lickety's list might be off one word, Molly. Lickety doesnt use the same version of Enable as babble does.
4:55 am
carleekat
morning molls
4:55 am
sprite
ok thanks Sally!
4:55 am
Sally-catlover
sprite, the 9 is pt of a 6-letter word
4:56 am

4:57 am
Jellen
Good morning, Molly
4:57 am
zoozzoom
I think you are all wonderful :-)
4:57 am

4:58 am

I SOOO want elefant to be valid!
In Dutch it is olifant. Grrrr.
4:58 am
carleekat
i so want sleuth
4:58 am
sprite
oh yes! Good one!
4:58 am
carleekat
i rarely have a phantom..but when i do....sheesh
4:59 am
sprite
I always have them. Loads of them. They call it an associative mind. Here at home we call it crazy.
5:00 am
carleekat
my mind is too litteral...
5:00 am
sprite
we should merge and end up somewhere in the middle, grin.
5:00 am
carleekat
we should...
5:01 am
carleekat
crap..iknow i am going to go early and get danishes
5:01 am
sprite
sounds good to me.
5:02 am
carleekat
i have brownies and squares, cheesecake, cookies bagels and muffins....i friggin want a danish
5:02 am
sprite
I will settle for a muffin.
5:03 am
Sally-catlover
brownie for me, since you're offering.
5:03 am
MollyL
We always want what we don't have Carlee. Murphy's Law.
5:03 am
zoozzoom
the shop near have started to do there own, donuts, croissants & pan au chocolat
5:03 am
carleekat
passing sally a brownie...
5:03 am
carleekat
passing sprite a pumpkin muffin
5:04 am
sprite
oh lovely, thanks carlee!
5:04 am
Sally-catlover
ooooh, pain au chocolate. mmmmm. Looks up ferry times to Isle of Wight.
5:05 am
sprite
our bakery here has self made chocolate croissants. They are viciously good.
5:05 am
Sally-catlover
Somewhere in Ludlow has started doing the best brownies I have ever tasted. Have to remember not to go past there!
5:05 am
MollyL
As for Babble's Law...if ti4 is not in the grid...fa4 and fa6 will be.
5:05 am
zoozzoom
they are, Molly.
5:06 am
MollyL
Yep Zoom, that's why I said that. : P
5:06 am
sprite
hehehe Molly, very true!
5:06 am
zoozzoom
I do not know why, but i hate the taste of Pumpkin.
5:07 am
MollyL
In addition...if ti4 is not in the grid...te4 will be. Must reference the mammaries.
5:07 am
zoozzoom
i have tried, soup, pie but not muffin.
5:07 am
sprite
nothing as personal as taste, zooz. Usually, when you really cannot stand a certain food, it isn't good for you either.
5:08 am
carleekat
now..i have some frozen puff pastry and i have choc hazelnut spread...hmm..and seedless raspberry..i could conceivably make my own raspberry pain au chocolate
5:08 am
zoozzoom
never thought of it like that, Spritey.
5:08 am
MollyL
Zoom, the taste of pumpkin in muffins and cake is not as prominent.
5:08 am
Sally-catlover
I never understand the problem with ti4. They are birds too!
5:08 am
Sally-catlover
Also an engineering (?) term.
5:08 am
carleekat
my mum would make pumpkin loaf... chock full or fat raisins
5:08 am
sprite
not one of my babblets either, Sally
5:09 am
sprite
carlee, that sounds so very very good.
5:09 am
sprite
I mean the raspberry pain au choc, not the raisins
5:09 am
MollyL
Someone make sure the PB is well stocked. With all the commonly used th words, it's going to get some heavy traffic today.
5:09 am
carleekat
or just buy lemon danishes...
5:09 am
FMitch
Hi all!
What a fun grid today.
5:09 am
zoozzoom
Hello, FM :-)
5:10 am

5:11 am
carleekat

5:11 am
MollyL
Ah well, one person's idea of fun is another person's idea of a headache.
5:11 am
FMitch
Im at 137 ... sho who know about the reamining 36.
5:12 am
carleekat
my brain twists the completely opposite of anyone here ..i swear
5:12 am
sprite
it is because different minds work in different ways. We all spot words in different manners, so we cannot like all grids the same.
5:12 am
zoozzoom
lol, Bless you, Carlee.
5:12 am
MollyL
No Carlee, trust me, you have a soul mate.
5:12 am
FMitch
Yesterdays was good and full of babblets but way too short.
5:12 am
Sally-catlover
I think you will suddenly get a rush of them carlee, and wonder how you missed them.
5:12 am
carleekat
yes...well..sprite it is pretty common that i love the ones most of you hate
5:13 am
carleekat
i'll let you know sally
5:13 am
sprite
I never hate a grid, but some are awfully tight.
5:13 am
zoozzoom
ditto, sally.
5:13 am
Sally-catlover
Lots of things can be put in past tense or have plurals or can be extended in some way.
5:14 am
carleekat
well....i am already close to completely giving up....still at 21
5:14 am
sprite
I agree, FM, when I start babble I want a meal, not a tiny snack.
5:14 am
FMitch
I think it was Molly who called the grid babble lite yesterday - funny.
5:14 am
sprite
LOL good one
5:14 am
carleekat

sprite

Can`t wait for the invite to the wedding.
5:36 am
MollyL
Then Sprince better become a valid grid word. : P
5:36 am
Sally-catlover
There have been rumours of an imminent announcement for ages since her parents have been up to meet the family but I think they quite approved of William's parents <g>. Poor girl, what a spotlight.
5:36 am
FMitch
Oh I would have to get the babble jet out of mothballs for that event!
5:37 am
FMitch
Aparently they got engaged in October
5:37 am

Anniebrook

8:30 am
rubyfoo
hi carlee, when that happens to me, I just put a pillow over my head and think up 7-letter words. It works every time!
8:31 am
carleekat
i get up..and babble...up side today..i was awake when the news came re: william and kate
8:31 am
Anniebrook
carlee, if the 7 letter words dont work, then read, always puts me back to sleep
8:31 am
Nancy Boy
well normally I drag myself out of bed to have a cup of tea with him, but it wasn't happening today. Plus, I need to save my energy for the Eurovision ;)
8:31 am
rubyfoo
is a fa**let a small fa4?
8:31 am
Nancy Boy
William and Kate, Carlee?
8:32 am
carleekat

8:33 am
Nancy Boy

8:33 am
carleekat

8:33 am
carleekat
he;s going bald up top already..shame
8:36 am
Nancy Boy
I'm not really a fan of the royal family. Only room for one queen here ;)
8:36 am
carleekat
you've mentioned nb :p
8:38 am
EvaNadine
it seems to be true that americans are more enamoured with the royals than the english...
8:40 am
MollyL
NB!! : D I'm not a fan of the royals either.
8:40 am
carleekat
we've read too many romances using the peerage for characters... we dont have to live with the class system of england
8:40 am
MollyL
Eva, I have you beat. I'm up at 5:15AM on work days.
8:41 am
rubyfoo
does anybody have the o for nbt?
8:41 am
Nancy Boy
I just always find myself wondering what the royals would make of me, as a british subject. be horrified, probably :P
8:42 am
Anniebrook
oohed and aahhed
8:42 am
carleekat
past tense of the sound one would make if you knocked the wind out...or..OMG
8:43 am
Nancy Boy
found myself seeking out "ohemgee" in the grid then.
8:44 am
Anniebrook
see you all later, bye dear babblers
8:45 am
rubyfoo

8:46 am
MollyL
I think the o4 is a dumb word.
8:46 am
MollyL
And, of course, there is no definition for it.
8:48 am
Judi
Hate it when the network plotzes.
8:50 am
Angelsong
hi, all. Lickety's has changed a bit...no sections, just a straight word list
8:52 am
Angelsong
hmmm. just refreshed, and lickety's is back to normal.
8:53 am
carleekat
there..am finished
8:54 am
EvaNadine
*le sigh*
poor hubs has been waiting for almost a year now to find out if he has gotten his promotion. he thought it was all pushed through, but now hes just found out that the paperwork is still in the head-honchos office, and he doesnt even know if its been signed.
8:57 am
Judi
Geesh, Eva. That's ridiculously long. Maybe he should roll a grenade into the conference room to help quicken things.
8:58 am
carleekat
oh dear....porr mrfoster
8:58 am
carleekat
poor* even
8:58 am
carleekat
ok...i gotta go hagd all *poof*
9:00 am
EvaNadine
it had to get signed off by different people. each person just dragged their feet.
its now at the last level, but seriously, this process has been ridiculous. we thought things would have been settled months ago, and we actually thought we would be able to use some of that money toward the wedding...
9:01 am
MollyL
That sucks Eva. How disappointing for you two.
9:03 am
Judi
I swear, sometimes bosses just exist to bust balls .
9:03 am
EvaNadine
its the government, man. nothing moves quickly.
i knew it would be a long process, but i never imagined it would take THIS long.
9:04 am
Judi
Government. Well, that explains volumns.
9:04 am
EvaNadine
i just hope, for his sake, that at the end of this, they actually give him the promotion.
if they drag it out this long, then the head-honcho doesnt sign off on it, he seriously needs to find a new job. which is sad, because he actually likes his job...
9:04 am
MollyL
Try immigration sometime.
9:06 am
EvaNadine
ahh, its not like back in the day when my parents came over. their process was easy-peasy. :)
9:08 am
Judi
Are we talking state or Federal government, Eva?
9:08 am
MollyL
Over two years for my husband to get his green card. And WAY too many application fees.
9:13 am
EvaNadine
fed, of course. :)
9:21 am
MollyL
Gotta love the Feds. If there is a way to screw up/delay things, they know it and do it.
9:23 am
MollyL
an6/21???? What's that? When you throw your shirt on the table instead of poker chips?
9:28 am
Judi
I'm stuck on the te9. Any clues?
9:29 am
MollyL
There is no te9 Judi. One of those Lickety flukes.
9:29 am
Judi
Arrrrgh! I've wasted 20 minutes of my life looking for that stupid word!!!
9:33 am
Judi
Are there any other phantoms that I should know about?
9:33 am
rururocks
<----- boo
9:34 am
MollyL
* laughing at ruru*
9:34 am
aebmusica
there would be a te9...but Babble won't accept it (telnetted).
9:35 am
rururocks
of course.. telnetted how could I have missed that!!
9:37 am
MollyL
I'm sure you use the word at least twice a day ruru.
9:38 am
MollyL
It would be helpful in "New Babble" if there was some kind of bulletin board where things like "te9 is not a valid clue" could be posted.
9:44 am
EvaNadine
hints for the right-column E?
9:45 am
Judi
en7 & 8: show excitement for + past tense.
9:46 am
Judi
I suppose a better clue would be: is/was gung ho.
9:46 am
EvaNadine
TY judi
9:47 am
Judi
Primed, stoked, psyched.
9:47 am
EvaNadine
hows about that 9?
i hear it is indeed NOT a TE9.
9:48 am
Judi
There are also two et4's. Common babblets.
9:48 am
Judi
There is no Te9. I made that mistake earlier.
9:48 am
msideb01
I thought I had it with that one too... but one does not simply telnet into today's grid
9:49 am
EvaNadine
but what IS the 9?
9:49 am
MollyL
ey9...strange word...past tense of making small holes in fabric
9:49 am
Judi
However - if you type it into Lickety's List, it does accept it. Weird.
9:49 am
EvaNadine
TY molly. :)
9:49 am
EvaNadine
thats both NBT and NBS for me!
9:50 am
Judi
Okay. I'm outta here. See you kids tomorrow! *POOF*

11:38 am
stidmama
there is room for much optimism in this case I think
11:39 am
Soodle
I think so too. Plus, they have escaped much of the glare of publicity.....til now....
11:39 am
EvaNadine
i DO love how they say she comes from a "middle-class" family even though her parents are now millionaires.
i mean, i get that they were middle class when they met + married, but at what point are you finally not middle class?
11:40 am
carleekat
new money and not part of the peerage Eva ='s middle class
11:40 am
Soodle
Neuveau Riche!!
11:40 am
MollyL
I'm not sure I would want to wear the engagement ring of my fiance's dead mother.
11:41 am
EvaNadine
i think thats nutso.
new money or old, once youve got that much of it, youre not middle class.
11:41 am
carleekat
not in britain
11:41 am
MollyL
I agree with Eva and peerage? Really? Didn't that go out with the middle ages.
11:41 am
EvaNadine
i always knew those brits were backwards. ;)
11:42 am
carleekat
( my guess molly..he likely gave her a diff ring privately...and that one is for show)
11:42 am
carleekat
not like he hasnt got the $$$
11:43 am
carleekat
ok..i am going to go watch something other than bbcworld for a bit
11:43 am
stidmama
it used to be that occupation and education (and manners) defined various class structures - at least in the U.S. now everyone wants to pretend to be "middle class"
11:43 am

11:43 am

7:01 pm
crosshair
At the end of the tax year, the IRS office sent an inspector to audit the books of a local hospital.
While the IRS agent was checking the books he turned to the CFO of the hospital and said, “I notice you buy a lot of bandages. What do you do with the end of the roll when there’s too little left to be of any use?â€
“Good question,†noted the CFO. “We save them up and send them back to the bandage company and every now and then they send us a free box of bandages.â€
“Oh,†replied the auditor, somewhat disappointed that his unusual question had a practical answer. But on he went, in his obnoxious way.
“What about all these plaster purchases? What do you do with what’s left over after setting a cast on a patient?â€
“Ah, yes,†replied the CFO, realizing that the inspector was trying to trap him with an unanswerable question. “We save it and send it back to the manufacturer, and every now and then they send us a free package of plaster.â€
“I see,†replied the auditor, thinking hard about how he could fluster the know-it-all CFO. “Well,†he went on, “What do you do with all the leftover foreskins from the circumcisions you perform?â€
“Here, too, we do not waste,†answered the CFO. “What we do is save all the little foreskins and send them to the IRS Office, and about once a year they send us a complete dick.â€

8:07 pm

Interesting -- watching the news -- the US TV seems more excited about our Royals than the Canadian TV
8:07 pm
jmcnrick
i think i need to take a break
8:09 pm
jillibus
jmc, if you're still here, make sure your current email address is correct on flickr. All my pix disappeared from here when I changed it. Finally twigged and notified them -- voila!
8:11 pm
kje
it is just that our TV loves to focus on anything but real news... so the royals provide a diversion
8:13 pm
jillibus
is Prince William's engagement not real news? Some day, he will be King William V of England, and Kate will be his Queen Consort.
8:14 pm
kje
it deserves 10 seconds
8:17 pm
stidmama
hello all!
8:17 pm
stidmama
it's not real news to people in the United States Jill -- he will not be our monarch and to all intents and purposes the real political power is the prime minister always
8:18 pm
stidmama
hey bugs!
8:18 pm
stidmama
so... did the wind get you too jill?
8:19 pm
Bugsaw
I must tread carefully here, but I will say that I am not a monarchist.
8:19 pm
kje
she was commenting though that our news is giving more coverage than theirs
8:19 pm
Bugsaw
I like William because of his mother
8:19 pm
jillibus
Hi stid -- not really, although the power went out here for about an hour. However, at the time I was in Ganges playing bridge and it didn't go out there.
8:20 pm
stidmama
me too bugs -- and as a young man growing up as he has he (and his brother, finally) seem remarkably well-grounded and kind
8:20 pm
stidmama
I add that I rather like the young woman, as well -- she's not "just" a pretty face
8:21 pm
stidmama
hm. well, you know -- Canada is typically a step behind... *grins wickedly at jill and bugs*
8:21 pm
stidmama
unless I need clues, in which case Canada is usually light-years ahead!
8:22 pm
kje
wow, stid - gutsy comment there!
8:22 pm
jillibus
I've loved the royals, warts and all, all my life. They have been noble in the face of adversities of all kinds, including relentless spotlights and invasions of privacy.
8:22 pm
Bugsaw
good save stid!
8:22 pm
kje
I think I will sit over here on the side and watch the fur fly ; )
8:22 pm
welki
*sitting on the sidelines with kje*
8:22 pm
stidmama
personally, I like the story the now-queen actually working with trucks and stuff during the war SHE has guts!
8:22 pm
jillibus
No fur flying from me.
8:22 pm
stidmama
hey welki! (((hugs)))
8:23 pm
Bugsaw
you might want to put on a helmet if Jilli gets on a roll. Royalists are firm believers.
8:23 pm
jillibus
Nope. All are entitled to opinions, horrendously wrong as they may be <wink>
8:24 pm
Bugsaw
I agree with all of you. The people who make up the royals are interesting but I do not see the point of being in the Commonwealth any more
8:24 pm
stidmama
not our jill -- she is a lovely person through-and-through and knows that we all have our blind spots.
8:24 pm
stidmama
rofl, snap, jill!
8:24 pm
redturtlehead
evening all...
8:24 pm
jillibus
Hi red :)
8:24 pm
stidmama
hey red!
8:25 pm
stidmama
red, me luv... if the theme is FRUIT, then why are we all billowed out and running with the wind to catch the ey4 of pirates?
8:26 pm
redturtlehead
well stid...for one day my theme and words matched...
8:26 pm
Bugsaw
that is the best part of red's icons, stid. You have to make the connection yourself! It is fun
8:26 pm
redturtlehead
i need to change it, been crazy busy...
8:27 pm
stidmama
hmph. "tetley" doesn't count of course, being a proper noun
8:27 pm
Bugsaw
neither does delft
8:28 pm
stidmama
I can completely understand. my icon is stidkid #1 of course, need to finish getting pics loaded so I have a pic of #2 also...
8:29 pm
stidmama
no, but get the L out of there and it does!
8:29 pm
stidmama
how went the bridge anyway jill?
8:32 pm
jillibus
the bridge didn't go well, stid.
8:32 pm
stidmama
sorry jill
8:33 pm
jillibus
My partner was in a cranky mood and complained all night long.
8:33 pm
Bugsaw
too bad you can't switch partners some days
8:34 pm
jillibus
She is getting too old -- funny thing for me to say, but flosey knows.
8:34 pm
rururocks
nothing like a cranky partner.
8:34 pm
stidmama
ruru knows! *innocent mama look*
8:34 pm
jillibus
I can't let her down -- she's nobody's favourite.
8:34 pm
stidmama
jill, you are a saint
8:35 pm
jillibus
ruru, I'm sure you don't have one, lol!
8:35 pm
jillibus
far from it, stid!
8:36 pm
rururocks
oh.. she gets cranky all right
8:36 pm
jillibus
Let's say it's character-building ;-)
8:36 pm
rururocks
and I am always surprised because I am such perfect angel ..
8:37 pm
jillibus
oops, just saw a halo fly off
8:37 pm
stidmama
ruru's partner has LOTS of character then...
8:38 pm
stidmama
that was a toupee, not a halo!
8:38 pm
rururocks
don't need a toupee thank you stid..
8:39 pm
rururocks
but if I do go bald.. Im letting it go.
8:39 pm
rururocks

There's a great product called Curly Sexy Hair -- a foam you put in after a wash and just scrunch up with your hands, let it dry. Gives body to our fine hair too, kje.

9:06 pm
dianedecoder
Hi Pini :-))
9:07 pm
Minveryork
GMann7,you get fireworks for the first two weeks of your trial period,then the fireworks and tile stats go away. You will then have to become pro to get them.
9:07 pm
jillibus
GMann, you get fireworks for the first two weeks if non-pro. Then they disappear, and so do the Tile Stats and how many words there are. Pro is a bargain at about $15 one time only.
9:07 pm
rururocks
telnetted but enable doesn't take it
