2:06 am
flosey
didn't know lickety was up!
2:07 am
FMitch
lexi that is yesterdays list, there isn't one today.
2:07 am
FMitch
Evening flosey
2:08 am
lexi
it's up it's up!
2:08 am
FMitch
Hey lynxxx! how are you?
2:09 am
lexi
yup, lickity is up, but it says 159 words, not 157...
2:09 am
FMitch
oh lexi is right!
2:09 am
FMitch
I've got Volley list in my profile if that will help you lexi
2:09 am
lynxxx
OKish. How is everything in the countryside?
2:10 am
flosey
do6/27 might be one of the extras
2:10 am
lexi
I always kick myself when I spend forever searching for a word, and find out it's only on lickity and not babble, argh...:)
2:10 am
FMitch
No frost this morning but am still waking up.
2:11 am
FMitch
need more tea before I can talk more.

{{flosey and lynxx}} hello FM
2:26 am
rubyfoo
it is very cold this AM after high winds yesterday
2:27 am
flosey
we had high winds last night ruby, power was off for just over 3 hours - included most of Vancouver Island
2:28 am
FMitch
Morning ruby
2:28 am
lynxxx
BBS Strew is insisting we play
2:29 am
FMitch
lol TTFN lynxxx
2:29 am
FMitch
Do you have back up ower flosey?
2:30 am
FMitch
*power even!
2:30 am
flosey
yes FM, we have a generator but don't bother with it for short periods
2:31 am
FMitch
must be good to know it is there for severe conditions tho'.
2:31 am
flosey
I was alone, so it was strange just sitting in the dark with a couple of candles - blew them out in case I fell asleep!
2:32 am
flosey
yes, we've only had to use it once or twice
2:32 am
rubyfoo
fortunately, our power lines are underground, so whenthere are freakishly high winds, we still keep the power. It does go out, sometimes, for no apparent reason. It must be a French company.....lol
2:33 am
FMitch
I love candle light, will quite often have several lit on the desk rather than use electric (in the winter).
lol ruby.
2:34 am
flosey
oh lucky, ruby, ours aren't - hubby was at the bridge club and said there were signs where trees had fallen across the main road - road crews are very quick to keep the road clear though
2:34 am
lynxxx
Back. He was happy with a quick brush. Greyhounds lose so much hair!
2:35 am
flosey
really, lyn, but it's quite short isn't it?
2:36 am
lynxxx
Yes. But it gets everywhere though - not as bad now as when we first got him (they get heavier coats when in kennels)
2:39 am
flosey
guess they don't get out to run enough when in kennels?
2:41 am
FMitch
Having a hard time believing that there is an 11 (never mind a 9 and 10) in this grid today.
2:41 am
lynxxx
I am sure he used to get to run more when he was in kennels...we have a small house on a small block - he can't get much speed up here!
2:41 am
flosey
it's 5, 8, 9, 10, 11
2:41 am
lynxxx
bet it is a ph word
2:42 am
FMitch
on the other hand he could be thinking 'I love this slower pace of life' :)
2:42 am
FMitch
Ah thanks flosey, haven't got to the f's yet but will remember that.
2:43 am
flosey
for sure, if he's getting older
2:43 am
flosey
should say, as he gets older!
2:43 am
lynxxx
I am (house) painting at the moment. After his morning walk yesterday, he made himself a lovely 'nest' in our bed and stayed there all day
2:44 am
FMitch
Does he have the occasional moments of madness lynxxx?
2:44 am
flosey
just keeping it warm for you lyn
2:44 am
lynxxx
They are extremely lazy Flosey - couch potatoes
2:44 am
flosey
ah, seems surprising!
2:45 am
lynxxx
Usually screams around the house in the afternoon for a few minutes
2:46 am
FMitch
lol that was what I was imagining.
2:46 am
flosey
in Ontario, they had a Greyhound Coach Line and a running greyhound painted on side of all busses
2:47 am
lynxxx
They recommend a brisk 30 minutes walk once a day. If you want them to run with you (certainly not me!) you have to build them up to it. They are sprinters not really runners
2:47 am
flosey
interesting, lyn
2:48 am
rubyfoo
I comnb Ruby most days and get incredible quantities of fur our of her, enough to knit a small dog! And she is still messy
2:48 am
rubyfoo
when my husband was a teenager, he worked at the greyhound track in Miami and didn't like the dogs as they became so neurotic from never catching the "rabbit" and being muzzled the whole race
2:49 am
saanichcat
Good evening Flosey! Thanks for the"f" words. Now I can go to bed -- 24 left for tomorrow. Goodnight all!
2:49 am
flosey
that would be very frustrating for them
2:49 am
flosey
hi there saanichcat
2:49 am
flosey
well done then, I still have 40 to go
2:50 am
saanichcat
wow Fosey, you'll be finished tonight!
2:50 am
FMitch
I am sadly lacking in the word department due to chatting, so am going to dive in for a while.
2:50 am
rubyfoo
and they were very testy!
2:51 am
saanichcat
Flosey, I mean. How's your power?
2:51 am
lynxxx
There was a race here this last weekend. The lead greyhound took off in another direction after a (stupid stupid) live rabbit ran across the track
2:51 am
rubyfoo
you always have a way with words FM, which I sorely lack!
2:51 am
lynxxx
hi Sannichat
2:51 am
flosey
oh, it was only off for just over 3 hours last night Saanichcat, how about you?
2:51 am
rubyfoo
no wild rabbits in Miami Beach!
2:51 am
saanichcat
Heya Lynxx!
2:52 am
lynxxx
alligators eat them!?
2:52 am
FMitch
:) ruby and Hi saanichat
2:52 am
rubyfoo
no alligators on the beach, either! hahah
2:52 am
saanichcat
Flosey, not sure, we had a so'wester which really does me in - filled the bathtub and went to bed with a lantern and a book.
2:53 am
saanichcat
Hello FM!
2:54 am
saanichcat
For those nor in remote areas, the water won't work either as the well is electric dependent
2:54 am
saanichcat
so the full bathtub is so you have enough water to flush
2:54 am
flosey
we're on well, so depend on the power
2:55 am
flosey
and always have tub full when we have high winds
2:55 am
lynxxx
How much does it cost to dig a well?
2:56 am
flosey
no idea now lyn, that was done before we moved here - builder looked after it
2:56 am
saanichcat
Lynxx- depends how deep. Genarally about 3-6- grand complete with pump, pressure tank etc.
2:57 am
lynxxx
I see. Do you deal with your own waste water and sewerage individually as well?
2:57 am
flosey
our well is artesian
2:57 am
flosey
yes, we have septic systems
2:59 am
saanichcat
The water is always clean cold and pure. And our own water treatment plant aka septic is great.
3:00 am
saanichcat
So how do you make use of the artesian well, is it about the procedure? Curiousity - I don't know anyone but you who has one.
3:00 am
lynxxx
TY I find all that interesting. Things that we take for granted here - even though we are a large country. We have septic in outlying country areas but I don't know of anyone with their own well.
3:00 am
flosey
yes, the newer septic systems are much improved - some friends seem to have theirs pumped out a lot
3:01 am
flosey
small village has local water and sewerage - we're in rural area
3:02 am
saanichcat
in my outlying area everyone has well and septic, thousands of us
3:02 am
rubyfoo
many of the French locals steal the water coming down from the mountains by diverting the little streams that run through their properties. I can understand it, as water is very expensive here, but it's still illegal
3:02 am
flosey
there again, Saanich, we weren't here at the time, I believe they drill until they hit a seam
3:03 am
flosey
we are on a rock!!
3:03 am
flosey
I mean, our Island is one huge rock
3:04 am
saanichcat
The downside to this independence is that the water is very very hard. Things like kettles, dishwashers, hot water tanks get ruined. I use gallons of vinegar!
3:04 am
saanichcat
I dowsed my own well!
3:05 am
FMitch
So interesting as Lynxxx says we do take so much for granted.
3:05 am
flosey
we have filtration system - several tanks
3:06 am
FMitch
That is a gift saani, Mum had to get a dowser in and he found a spring in the basement - which explained why it kept flooding
3:06 am
flosey
we have manganese in the water and before we had the filtration system installed, you could see black lining the toilet tanks, so imagine what it was doing to the pipes!
3:06 am
saanichcat
Flosey I would do that too if it wernt so expensive. I also have an underground stream. Apparently it is wise to register the.
3:07 am
flosey
took a while to get it flushed out, but now everything is clean
3:07 am
FMitch
yay got the f words - thanks flosey.
3:07 am
saanichcat
Thanks FM. I too have helped a lot of people. It is a gift for which I am thankful.
3:07 am
lynxxx
are you talking about house pipes or peoples pipes Flosey?
3:08 am
flosey
you really have to watch these guys, we got taken (being newcomers) and was later told that the plumber who did the work use to brag about gouging the newbies
3:08 am
saanichcat
hahahaha!
3:08 am
flosey
lol, house pipes
3:09 am
saanichcat
Right on Flosey, ESPECIALLY with the new septic rules.
3:09 am
flosey
It doesn't pay to have a home built when you live 2000 or so miles away
3:10 am
lynxxx
You were game
3:10 am
flosey
so true lyn
3:13 am
flosey
also, a good idea to have a written contract - not just a hand-shake
3:13 am
lynxxx
ah, the penny just dropped for me with the f too. TY Flosey
3:14 am
FMitch
Topical for over here lynxxx but not for you going into summer or is it still spring?
3:16 am
lynxxx
Going into Summer in a couple of weeks...Spring has been pretty cool - with lots of rain! Gardens looks great and our dams are over half full. The drought has really broken
3:16 am
FMitch
and the fr8 is what happens to my hair in the misty moisty foggy weather we have had recently.
3:17 am
lynxxx
There is no zzeds here though
3:17 am
FMitch
That is good news re the dams, hope it doesn't get too dry during the summer.
3:17 am
saanichcat
thanks FM!
3:21 am
lynxxx
Need to go and find myself some food. Hate it when I am by myself! BBL
3:22 am
flosey
down to 25 but very sleepy, be back in the morning
3:22 am
FMitch
TTFN lynxxx, Im going to have to face up to the working day soon :)
3:22 am
flosey
goodnight all
3:22 am
FMitch
Bye flosey et al.
3:22 am
saanichcat
sweet dream Flosey! I'm gone too. Bye.
3:23 am
flosey

3:57 am
rubyfoo
back, 58 so far
3:59 am
lynxxx
Just came back too Ruby
3:59 am
rubyfoo
our water is extremely hard, too. Maybe that is why everything wears out
4:00 am
lynxxx
like your washing machine?
4:00 am
rubyfoo
I still didn't get a new one, just have to go in and switch the settings twice each load
4:01 am
rubyfoo
I think, too, when my son was here, he and his wife overloaded the machine
4:02 am
rubyfoo
I think I used a grid word before without realizing it was in the grid, te4

4:16 am
zoozzoom
Hello, All :-)
4:18 am
rubyfoo
back again, doorbell this time!
4:18 am
zoozzoom
Although if you take away the first letter & change a letter in my phantom, you have a word :-)
4:18 am
lynxxx
what has happened with the court case Ruby?
4:19 am
rubyfoo
and the plural, zzoozz!
4:19 am
lynxxx
and take away 2 letters from that and add a 'martini glass'
4:19 am
rubyfoo
first decision will happen on Friday. That is the criminal part against the dog owner. Then, my husband needs to be evaluated by a court-appointed MD to determine how much we will ask for in damages.
4:19 am
rubyfoo
Thank you for asking, this has been a terrible, bleak time
4:20 am
lynxxx
It doesn't sound like he is getting any better? not even with v isitors?
4:20 am
rubyfoo
I should know the glass since husband has a martini every day! putting those drunk monkeys to work
4:21 am
rubyfoo
no, he has a lot of pain in his back where the dog took him down. The arm has healed surprisingly well, however.
4:21 am
lynxxx
but are his wounds healed?
4:21 am
rubyfoo
he remains severely traumatized.
4:21 am
rubyfoo
and he is much diminished....
4:22 am
rubyfoo
famous, though, he's been in both local papers, not by name, but by village
4:23 am
lynxxx
I realise he is old but it is bad to hear that he has gone down so quickly - an extra burden you don't need either.
4:24 am
rubyfoo
I feel very sorry for him, but he still irritates me! Bad Ruby
4:24 am
lynxxx
It is understandable Ruby
4:25 am
zoozzoom
Can`t believe there are 15 `P`s
4:25 am
rubyfoo
But I think I should be nicer! It is just very hard
4:25 am
rubyfoo
no, zzoozz, you are making that up! hahah
4:26 am
zoozzoom
I only have three of them..lol

4:27 am

that is kind of you lynxx, but I think most wives would be more understanding. He is also getting very thin, is vain about being the same weight he was at 20, but I think he doesn't eat enough
4:27 am
herinfernallady
(((((((ruby))))))))0
4:27 am
rubyfoo
he weighs less than 135! and he isn't short
4:28 am

FMitch

5:31 am
gortmold
sounds like "try 'n s"tay with me, zoos
5:31 am
Lilecama
brilliantly dazzling clue gort definitely - it's given me fireworks
5:31 am
gortmold
i mean hump as in camel not as in how camels make other camels
5:31 am
zoozzoom
WTG Lile!!
5:31 am

5:32 am
gortmold
oh well as the old expression goes fm, whatever floats your boat or whatever humps your camel (please God may that only be another camel)
5:32 am
zoozzoom
YaY, thanks, gort, got it!
5:33 am
gortmold
well done zooz, you're doing well to follow my convoluted camel train of thought
5:33 am

zoozzoom
Maria Muldaur
5:36 am
gortmold
sorry fm, it's probably really witty to be singing midnight at the oasis, but i've never heard of it (yes, i've been living under a rock, at least it's shaded from the hot aussie sun)
5:37 am
FMitch
ahh zooz knows it.

another blast from the past. Local radio is doing an 80's retro play next weekend - can't wait.
5:39 am
zoozzoom
I kinda liked the 80`s music.
5:40 am
gortmold
maria sings sweetly, but she's far too fond of that soporific camel for my taste *gort ducks under rock again*
5:40 am
FMitch
So many memories are reignighted by just a bar or two of music.
5:40 am
Lilecama
I missed the 80's music
5:40 am
FMitch
LOL gort - I was always worried about the camel too.
5:41 am
FMitch
70's and 80's music was my time.
5:41 am
Lilecama
70's - yeah! :)
5:42 am
Lilecama
80's were taken up by listening to babies crying...
5:42 am
Lilecama
I sang 'dont cry baby' all the time...
5:42 am
FMitch
ah I think you might be a few years older than me then.
5:43 am
Lilecama
I may have started young! ;)
5:43 am
gortmold

5:46 am
Lilecama
wow gort - you're keeping well! (Dark Side of the Moon btw)
5:47 am
Lilecama
I thought that's what you meant with dark side of the rock.
5:48 am
FMitch
Pink Floyd and Led Zepplin and just giggles at so many memories
5:48 am
Lilecama
Anyway - must be thinking of heading off to do some stuff in my other life. Any clues before i go?
5:48 am
gortmold

5:48 am
Lilecama
Yeah - more memories then than now... strange that...
5:48 am
FMitch
Oh you can't go Lile! Cos if you do that reminds me I have to be grown up too :(
5:48 am
gortmold

5:49 am
zoozzoom
I am missing one letter a T6?
5:49 am
gortmold

6:17 am
Patxxx
What is a stealth babbler please?
6:18 am
Norma
Someone who doesn't join in the chat
6:21 am
gramma
I am a stealth Babbler. I 1st discovered this problem about a year ago when the chat became filled with so many people. I felt like I didn't know everyone any more.
6:21 am
Patxxx
That's me then. Thought it might be but I am incapable of remembering to switch over and end up putting my words found in the chat log. I can multi task at everything else but not Babble.
6:22 am
Norma
Can anyone clue the os 8 please ;-)
6:22 am
gramma
As long as I've outed myself, clues for the DI's please.
6:23 am
Norma
I feel the same gramma I try to join in but they know each other so well its difficult
6:24 am
gramma
I see we joined about the same time. It was a smaller community then.
6:24 am
gramma
Norma, I'm afraid I don't have that 1 yet; but, I'll look.
6:25 am
Norma
Di** the perfume and out of s*** and pluralize it
6:26 am
Patxxx
Sometimes, poss middle of the night here, nobody responds so I gave up. I felt I was being rude trying to chip in.
6:26 am
Jacula
Hi. Just got my fireworks & can tell you there IS no os8 word.
6:26 am
Norma
Thanks Jac I think Licketys list is going to pot yesterday there was an extra word in the clues ...
6:27 am
Jacula
y/w Norma.
6:27 am
Norma
Keep on trying Pat some will talk to you ...
6:27 am
Jacula
*waves to Pat*
6:28 am
gramma
TY Jac. What other word isn't there? Lickety has 2 extras, right?
6:28 am
Jacula
gramma - Don't know, as I didn't use Lickety. Will check for you.
6:29 am
Norma
Thanks Jac that would be a great help ;-)
6:29 am
gramma
Norma, I get the 1st part of your clue;but, not the out of s***. ty for trying.
6:29 am
Norma
If you cant see it it is out of s***
6:30 am
Uneaixoise
si4/4 location
6:30 am
Uneaixoise
hey, all :-)
6:30 am
gramma
Hi une. and ty,Norma.
6:32 am
Uneaixoise
re what was said earlier, the chog has definitely grown and grown and grown -- and I think we all, at various times, feel ignored -- sometimes our comments just get lost in the general flurry . . .
6:33 am
Jacula
Gramma - the other extra word on the Lickety list is do6/27.
6:33 am
Norma
I think that is probably the case Une if a theme is going and you ask for a clue people are usually to busy typing to read the chog lol
6:34 am
Jacula
So - os8 & do6 are the extra words. Hope that helps.
6:34 am
gramma
TY. Your timing is impeccable. I was just looking for that 1.
6:34 am
Uneaixoise
tx jac!
6:34 am
Norma
I have got DO6/27 Jac so I don't think it can be that one
6:34 am
Uneaixoise
hey, bonkler
6:34 am
bonkler
i play at sporadic points in the day and there are a number of chat cliques that cycle through over the day
6:35 am
Uneaixoise
true . . .
6:35 am
Jacula
Norma - definitely no do6/27!
6:35 am
bonkler
some folks are open and friendly and there are a few that are sniffy
6:35 am
bonkler
like life
6:35 am
Patxxx
Ta Jacula. Had to leave the keyboard then slapped handcream on and couldn't respond for a while.
6:36 am
Uneaixoise
speaking of cycling through, I'm cycling myself out for a mo -- BBL
6:36 am
Norma
Jac licketys clues have accepted it but babbles hasn't ...
6:36 am
Jacula
Pat - don't get the keyboard sticky. LOL
6:37 am
Jacula
Norma - out of interest, what was do6/27?
6:37 am
Norma
See you later Une
6:37 am
Jacula
If you can say without giving part of a word away, that is..
6:38 am
Norma
do .... abbr of brothers
6:39 am
Jacula
Found it! LOL. Do we get bonus points?;-)
6:39 am
Norma
I really think we should Jac lol
6:40 am
Jacula
I'm addicted; looking for words that don't count! *sigh*
6:40 am
bonkler
just noticed... 9, 10, 11 yikes. will need clues for those
6:40 am
Jacula
Time I was off and getting on with some chores. See you all again. *Note to self - remember to change icon!*
6:40 am
Norma
That is a sure sign of serious addiction, I just said to my husband I should do the ironing he said just go and do your babble lol .... even he knows what its like
6:41 am
bonkler
purty please
6:41 am
Jacula
bonkler - they're lovely words once you see them. What you get when you get too cold, makes your extremities drop off in severe cases.
6:41 am
Norma
See you later Jac HGD
6:41 am
Jacula
'Bye all. x
6:42 am
bonkler
woohoo! thanks jac!
6:42 am
sandr
thanx jac for the clue on the 9 10 and 11 got it from that
6:46 am
Norma
Your forgiven shame I have already got that one lol
6:46 am
rubyfoo
hello again, only 83 to go hahah
6:46 am
Norma
Hello ruby keep going
6:48 am
rubyfoo
bonjour une and "sniff" norma!
6:48 am
rubyfoo
love that 9!
6:49 am
rubyfoo
but still don't have 8, 10 and 11, dumb ruby!
6:49 am
Trifioso
hello babble friends. In my family, we say "I have to hotten this up" if our tea or whatnot has gone cold. Having grown up saying it, it never occurred to me that it wasn't a real word. but I guess not!
6:50 am
rubyfoo
hahah trif. and hello. How are you?
6:50 am
Norma
For the 8 ruby take off the vowel , for the 10 pluralise the 9
6:50 am
rubyfoo
ok, putting monkeys to work. they're a little bit tipsy from lunch
6:50 am
Norma
For the 11 add a vowel and cons to the 8
6:50 am
Trifioso
TIRED. Tertiare went to a concert last night, and I was the driver on the other end, the one who picked them up off the subway.....at midnight! and then the drive home....zzzzzz
6:51 am
rubyfoo
thank you for the hand-feeding, norma. I am hopeless without a lot of help!
6:51 am
Norma
Have a restful day today then Trif
6:51 am
Norma
You are welcome ruby
6:52 am
rubyfoo
wow, one short of half thanks to norma!
6:52 am
Trifioso
working today norma, and still dog sitting the BEASTS, so not a restful day. but it's all good
6:53 am
Norma
Well enjoy Trif lol
6:54 am
Trifioso
(whispering) so far this dog sitting gig is a nightmare. everyone told me I was nuts to do it -- they were right. shhhh
6:54 am
rubyfoo
if I ever find a dog-sitter who is willing to hand-feed my autistic dog, then I may someday get another holiday
6:54 am
Norma
How many you sitting Trif??
6:54 am
rubyfoo
even husband won't do it
6:55 am
Trifioso
2. one is an american shepherd who weighs 125 pounds and pees CONSTANTLY inside or out, the other is a unbelievably fat yorkie type thing
6:55 am
Norma
I was allowed our little boy on the condition he went into Kennels.. we found amazing kennels and he loves it there
6:55 am
rubyfoo
they sound awful! not like our lovely, gentle chows
6:56 am
Trifioso
i need the money.
6:56 am
Norma
Oh Trif I hope you have lots of newspapers lol
6:56 am
Trifioso
I remind myself that each and every time I am out walking them, like today in the driving rain
6:56 am
rubyfoo
Max has never been off the property since his arrival. He is much better than when he first came, but without Prozac, he'd still be a mess
6:56 am
Trifioso
the one have the most fun is my dog, diggity. he is so loving the company!!!!
6:56 am
Norma
Was he badly treated ruby ...
6:57 am
rubyfoo
that is so cute! does he chase the fat one?
6:57 am
rubyfoo
no, I just think that in order to get black chows, they are too inbred. He is very beautiful, though.
6:57 am
Norma
Doesn't Diggity get territorial ??
6:57 am
rubyfoo
and couldn't be sweeter or more gentle
6:58 am
Trifioso
not much, but he should. I swear, I am conflicted -- the little one is SO fat....part of me feels like I should turn this into a little fat camp for the poor thing, and the other part feels like I should follow the owners wishes and feed her the assigned amount
6:58 am
Norma
I don't think I have ever seen a black chow ... how unusual
6:58 am
rubyfoo
we had another black chow, a female, absolutely perfect but she never reached her full size and died at 2, I think of a heart anomaly.
6:58 am
rubyfoo
same breeder in Canada
6:59 am
Trifioso
Diggity gets territorial over his food dish, which the littlest dog thinks belongs to her...well, she thinks ALL the dishes belong to her, but other than that, he is so chuffed with the play date he cares naught
6:59 am
rubyfoo
my Ruby was getting chubby and I changed her diet and she is now the correct size, I can feel her ribs again
6:59 am
Norma
It is a shame they don't breed out the nasty things but they just seem to breed In more of the worse traits
7:00 am
Trifioso
the best part of having the shepherd around is that *I* am certainly going to tone up, and that is a good thing! All that walking is very good for me.
7:00 am
Norma
Perhaps the running around after each other will get the little on the lose some weight Trif
7:00 am
rubyfoo
this was a great breeder who destroyed any aggressive pups, but I think she either missed Max's shyness OR she knew we'd give him a loving home as we had 4 of her other chows over the years
7:01 am
rubyfoo
many of her dogs were international grand champions, but not black ones!
7:01 am
Trifioso
and now I appreciate low-maintenance Diggity all the more. He doesn't have to go out on the leash, and he lets me know when he needs to go out, and basically just delights in most things (car ride! my favorite! Kids! my favorite! oooh- bath = bummer. Kids! my favorite! Beach! my favorite!)
7:02 am
Trifioso
"destroyed any aggressive pups" is a troubling sentence
7:02 am
rubyfoo
diggity sounds like the perfect dog!
7:02 am
Trifioso
he is a real doggy dog, which I do love, I must say. and he is WICKED smart.
7:02 am
Norma
My little boy is a Jorkie a cross between a Jack Russell and a Yorkshire terrier and he has the best traits of both breeds he is so laid back he is horizontal he even lets our two cats push him around
7:02 am
rubyfoo
evidently, chows have very big litters plus a bad reputation. Not one of our five chows has ever bitten anyone even though they are wonderful watch dogs.
7:03 am
Trifioso
LOL norma. sounds like a keeper!
7:03 am
Trifioso
chows are what, a chinese breed in origin? Japanese?
7:03 am
rubyfoo
my husband loves Jack Russells, but I have only had chows, so have only known a few other dogs
7:04 am
rubyfoo
Chinese palace guard dogs with violet tongues, black gums and gorgeous, boxy bodies.
7:04 am
Trifioso
I like to play with other people's JRs, but I think they might be a little too spazzy for me personally
7:04 am
Norma
Jack Russells are really intelligent dogs ... but I think that passed by our little boy he is really dumb
7:04 am
rubyfoo
big heads but with the independent personalities of cats
7:05 am
rubyfoo
they are not noted for their intelligence, but that may be because they are not willing to follow instructions
7:06 am
rubyfoo
....like herding cats. However, they are very clean and housebreak themselves. We've only had 2 "accidents" over 20 years and 5 dogs
7:06 am
EvaNadine

7:08 am
Norma
Well done Kap
7:08 am
Trifioso

7:09 am
Kaplan the Magne
I got none of the 7s!
7:09 am
rubyfoo

Trifioso

7:09 am
gran

rubyfoo

7:10 am
MollyL
Which two words on Lickety are not viable?
7:10 am
Norma
HUGE is not the word you need a fortune to feed them
7:11 am
Norma
There is no OS8 or DO6
7:11 am
zoozzoom
OS8 & DO6 are extras in licketys list.
7:11 am
zoozzoom
Snap, Norma..lol
7:11 am
gran
So the total for today is 157/2351

I have been flying thru this grid but those big words eluded me for a long time, I guess because I don't want to admit that winter is coming and those are sure signs of it

EvaN, I asked earlier how your wedding went! (guess you were very deep into the grid, grin)
8:49 am
EvaNadine
uh, yes, very deep in the grid. ;)
8:49 am
EvaNadine
it was wonderful!
couldnt have asked for a more gorgeous day and for the most part, things went as planned!
8:49 am
sprite
am so glad! Love your pictures, and you are utterly beautiful.
8:50 am
EvaNadine
awww. well, thanky. :)
::blushes::
8:52 am
EvaNadine
i wish i could wear that dress every day. :)
8:52 am
sprite
you should!
8:53 am
EvaNadine
i have actually tried to figure out if there is any way i could have it altered for more everyday use, but i cant think of anything...
8:54 am
sprite
perhaps keep it in pristine state and give it to your eldest daughter later.
8:54 am
EvaNadine
we all like to think our daughters would want to wear our dresses, but how often does that ever happen?
8:55 am
sprite
almost never, lol
8:56 am
EvaNadine
my friends friend actually just got married. she + her hubs have a VERY retro, rockabilly style, and she had her grandmothers dress altered + slightly updated and wore it.
it was amazing how much it was her style!
8:57 am
sprite
oh that is wonderful!
8:57 am
EvaNadine
i like to think my dress is classic and timeless, but they never are, are they?
8:58 am
sprite
rock'n'roll never gets old :D
8:58 am
sprite
but you are right, they never are
8:58 am
EvaNadine
my mother had it cleaned and boxed up for me. so at least i will have it, should i choose to have something done with it.
8:58 am
MollyL
There is a funny bit in the show "Brothers & Sisters" where the Mom gives her wedding dress to her daughter and it just doesn't work at all.
8:59 am
EvaNadine
in the meantime, i have been wearing the HECK outta my wedding shoes, and i plan on figuring out a way to wear that hair flower again!
(even though -SECRET- i am planning on having all my hair chopped off tomorrow night!)
9:00 am
sprite
oh no, really? Kinda of a shame. But I bet you look gorgeous anyway.
9:00 am
MollyL
Whoa Eva, how short are you going?
9:00 am
EvaNadine
short. i have had it much shorter than this before, but im going super-short.
pixie cut!
9:01 am
EvaNadine
i had actually grown out the front for the wedding, but i really hate it in my face.
9:01 am
sprite
looks great on you though
9:01 am
EvaNadine
was already eager to get it cut, but i decided to really go for it this time!
9:01 am
MollyL
The most low maintenance "do" there is.
9:02 am
EvaNadine
hopefully it works for me!
*fingers crossed*
9:02 am
Good Enough
i was just reading a blurb yesterday about wedding dresses being turned into christening gowns and even Christmas tree skirts and such
9:02 am
Judi
Clue for the os8/40? Monkies are useless today.
9:03 am
MollyL
I think os40 is a "non word" from Lickety's list. There are two today.
9:03 am
Anniebrook
Judi, Os 8 is an extra word
9:03 am
sprite
all I have is an or7. And I have all the 8s. No os8, I think.
9:03 am
Anniebrook
and do 6 is extra also
9:04 am
Judi
Meaning....?
9:04 am
sprite
meaning forget about it, it isn't in today's babble, not as a valid word
9:04 am
Judi
Ah. Jolly good!

9:08 am
sprite
errrr no the other bi6/24
9:08 am
Judi
Pr7/32 does not exist. It's a mistake.
9:08 am
sprite
fi4bi6 should be a word
9:09 am
Judi
Bi6/24: if you get bi**** by a dog, you might need a rabies shot.
9:09 am
sprite
pr7: not an amateur + first two letters of the babblet needlecase + an exam is a **st
9:09 am
sprite
yes thanks Judi, that is why I said: fi4bi6 should be a word :)
9:10 am

3:38 pm
dianedecoder

3:38 pm
Mom

3:39 pm
dianedecoder
I like it too
3:39 pm
Mom
Little Drummer Boy is another favorite
3:40 pm
dianedecoder
andy williams.... the carpenters.... Perry Como ... Bing.... Sonny James... to name a few who've sung it
3:40 pm
Mom

3:41 pm
dianedecoder
I am a music nut....
3:41 pm
dianedecoder

3:41 pm
Mom
I am for Christmas music
3:41 pm
Mom

Hiya Molly
3:59 pm
MollyL
Oh man, too early for me. I'm not even ready for over the river and through the woods yet.
4:00 pm
dianedecoder
I'm not rushing it yet either ... although they are playing Christmas music in the stores already
4:01 pm
MollyL
There are those who like two solid months of Christmas decorations and music. Then there are those, like me, who prefer to start all that mid-December. It's all good.
4:02 pm
periwinkle
help with ro7 pls
4:02 pm
dianedecoder
about the same here... and then I enjoy the season for a few weeks afterward too

ro 7/28 the flower and the dimintive suffix
4:04 pm

due, ty diane, already had the shorter version of that word
4:04 pm
periwinkle

4:04 pm
MollyL
Not me. First of January I start my countdown to Spring. : D
4:04 pm
dianedecoder
diminutive ....
4:05 pm
dianedecoder
yw peri thought you might have :-)
4:05 pm
periwinkle
I could do without the winter season all together including the holidays, everything is so commericial and starts way too soon
4:06 pm
m9f9l
we don't tart christmas decorations until dec 7th. we can get our tree any time after that. and it has to be down by jan 5th
4:07 pm
MollyL
I agree Peri. It's way overdone. I don't think I'll really get into Christmas again until we have little people in the clan again. Still waiting on my son and girlie-in-law to make that happen.
4:07 pm
dianedecoder
and I'm waiting for the gread grands.... the little ones enhance the magic for sure
4:08 pm
hurshy
i object to thanksgiving being shafted, decor moves straight from halloween to christmas these days.
4:09 pm
dianedecoder
we don't have that problem... our Thanksgiving is always the 2nd Monday in October.
4:09 pm
m9f9l
and I don't like the tone of the commercials either. We heard one yesterday with a sarcastic elf.
4:09 pm
MollyL
Not here Hursh. We have two weeks of Thanksgiving decorations before the Christmas stuff goes up.
4:09 pm
periwinkle
it was a good day at the food pantry today. we got a huge donation of canned and packaged from a local private girls school.
4:09 pm
hurshy
which is a much more sensible time for it anyway - by the end of november, everything is grey, the leaves have fallen - mid october is much more festive.
4:09 pm
dianedecoder
awesome, peri
4:09 pm
MollyL
In our home that is. The stores do go from Halloween to Christmas with five minutes of Thanksgiving in between.
4:10 pm
m9f9l
my scouts will be doing food drive soon
4:10 pm
hurshy
oh, Molly, i'm only a poser, i'm really in the states
4:10 pm
hurshy
but canadian thanksgiving is much more ideal.
4:10 pm
dianedecoder
ours is right near to Columbus day, which you celebrate in the U.S.
4:10 pm
periwinkle
15 left, my stomach is growling, bbs
4:11 pm
MollyL
I would much rather have two months between Thanksgiving and Christmas than one. Canada does it right.
4:11 pm
hurshy
we DON'T celebrate columbus day at PC places
4:11 pm
hurshy
(PC as in politically correct, not personal computer)
4:13 pm
jmcnrick
most people around me call it indigenous peoples day
4:13 pm
hurshy
today i was behind a car whose license plate was ###-MEW :)
4:15 pm
jmcnrick
what does that mean?
4:15 pm
MollyL
JMC, Thanksgiving or Columbus Day?
4:15 pm
hurshy
it means i feel happy because i love cats and they say MEW!
4:16 pm
jmcnrick
columbus day
4:16 pm
hurshy
### just means i don't remember the number part.
4:17 pm
hurshy
oh the other day i saw one that was simply "RUBBER". i wondered - masseur? rubber company owner? any other guesses?
4:17 pm
m9f9l
the rubber hits the road
4:17 pm
hurshy
advocate for safe sex, perhaps?
4:18 pm
m9f9l
I was just gonna write that hursh!
4:18 pm
hurshy
oh yes, i thought of that too m9, forgot about it just now
4:18 pm
jmcnrick
an eraser is a rubber and so are boots
4:18 pm
hurshy
but if you owned a company that made boots or erasers wouldn't you get "RUBBERS"?
4:19 pm
hurshy
whereas if you just made rubber, you'd go singular.
4:19 pm
m9f9l
maybe it was a hitman
4:19 pm
jmcnrick
maybe for the boots but a rubber as an eraser is singular
4:19 pm
hurshy
oooooh, scary! it WAS a black SUV!
4:19 pm
jmcnrick
i thought of that too m9
4:19 pm
MollyL
There is no telling what people mean with vanity plates. Before they started getting scrutinized, someone got away with EMTAE. Imagine what that would look like in your rear view mirror.
4:20 pm
hurshy
but what i mean is, jmc, you make LOTS of erasers at your company, i would think you would want to get the plural one.
4:20 pm
hurshy
EMTAE is funny! it would be bad if it were UOYKCUF.
4:20 pm
jmcnrick
some states limit the letters
4:21 pm
hurshy
there was also SWMMOM, which i assume means her kid is a swimmer.
4:21 pm
hurshy
a single white male mom would be weird.
4:23 pm
m9f9l
yeah.. if you saw a vanity plate that said "teapot" I'd doubt you'd think.."hey.. maybe the driver's last name is Simmerer!"
4:23 pm
hurshy
come to think of it, SWFMOM or SWMDAD would be good ways to advert your availability while warning people who can't handle it that you have a kid.
4:23 pm
hurshy
what WOULD you think if you saw teapot?
4:24 pm
m9f9l
they collect them maybe?
4:24 pm
jmcnrick
sorry that was in answer to hursh
4:24 pm
hurshy
there is no do6, it's a typo in lickety.
4:24 pm
dianedecoder
kje apparently do 6 is an error
4:24 pm
m9f9l
or at least a discrepancy
4:24 pm
kje
what is the other error
4:24 pm
hurshy
maybe you would think that the person was short and stout
4:25 pm
jmcnrick
that seems to be happening a lot lately
4:25 pm
m9f9l
rofl.. which was true!!!LOL
4:25 pm
hurshy
oooh, i got one!
4:25 pm
hurshy
*feels smart*
4:26 pm
hurshy
what do you mean, what is the other error? what makes you think there is another one?
4:26 pm
m9f9l
hold on to that feeling.. this grid will try and take it away!
4:26 pm
hurshy
oh, i finished the grid, so i'm ok.
4:26 pm
kje
b/c babble lists 157 and lickety lists 159
4:26 pm
m9f9l
grid has 157 words... lickety has 159
4:26 pm
hurshy
oh. interesting.
4:27 pm
jmcnrick
echo echo echo
4:27 pm
hurshy
well i haven't heard the other error get mentioned.
4:27 pm
hurshy
and it didn't happen to come up in the 10 words for which i listed. so it probably isn't in the E's, F's, P's, S's, or T's.
4:28 pm
jmcnrick
hmmm i am getting nowhere fast in this grid
4:28 pm
dianedecoder
the other is os 8/40
4:28 pm

jmc, can we play GWJMCIM?

4:31 pm
hurshy
wow that is cool jmc (molly means you, if you aren't joking)
4:31 pm
MollyL
That is so cool. What kind of book?
4:31 pm
jmcnrick
the book is How the states got their shapes by Mark Stein
4:31 pm
hurshy
oooooooh i am an expert on state shapes
4:31 pm
MollyL
And what part will our lovely JMC be playing?
4:32 pm
jmcnrick
i am going to be walking down the Mall and they will ask me where i am originally from and then ask me if I can draw the shape of Texas
4:32 pm
jmcnrick
I warned them that my accent was light but genuine
4:32 pm
hurshy
when i was a kid, i had a puzzle of the states and i would close my eyes and my sister or my mom would hand me a piece and i would feel it and say which state it was and i even got good enough to distinguish wyoming from colorado.
4:32 pm
cosdem
we should have a babble party.. where we all watch the show and play the grid!
4:32 pm
MollyL
Ooo, ooo, ooo, can I come down to the Mall and sing "Deep In The Heart Of Texas" while you do that? : D
4:33 pm
hurshy
see if they want to throw me in the movie as the token weirdo
4:33 pm
cosdem

jacq
an hour? lol yesterdays took me an hour
4:39 pm
Nancy Boy
I'm kind of fascinated by how patriotic some Americans seem to be. I mean, I love England to pieces, but I think that's because I've experienced living elsewhere and know that if I'd stayed there, my life would be very different and very difficult.
4:39 pm
MollyL
I thought there were two b's in that word Cos. My memory is fading, fading, fading.
4:39 pm
Nancy Boy
hiya, Diane :)
4:40 pm
jacq
heya NB, long time no see, how are you?
4:40 pm
cosdem
there are 2 b's actually

Good for you. My son and I are going to wait until the crowds thin out.
4:43 pm

I guess I can't feel patriotic about the country I'm actually from. I kind of hate it.
4:43 pm
cosdem
come on its harry potter! :)
4:43 pm
cosdem
the boy who made the world fall in love with reading all over again
4:44 pm

4:44 pm

i am patriotic... to the land of my 10th great grandparents.
4:44 pm

NB I'm furious at your future king btw
4:44 pm
Nancy Boy
(Jac) so glad to hear you're all doing well :)
4:44 pm
jmcnrick
which future king?
4:45 pm
hurshy
which future king, charles or william?
4:45 pm
dianedecoder
charles, or william ?
4:45 pm
jmcnrick
it is a mutliple choice these days
4:45 pm
cosdem
im too mad to say his name. hes cheating on me with that no good.....
4:45 pm
Nancy Boy
Why's that, Cos? I doubt you're alone ;)
4:45 pm
jmcnrick
i had a crush on prince charles when i was young
4:46 pm
Nancy Boy
ewwww, c'mon, no!! can you imagine having to deal with THAT family?? I'm scared enough to meet Frank's parents...
4:46 pm
cosdem
thats a first!
4:46 pm
jacq
really? you had a crush on the ugly one?
4:46 pm
jmcnrick
alas he never came close enough to be floored by my beauty and charm
4:46 pm
cosdem
well if Diana was still alive i wouldnt mind
4:46 pm
jmcnrick
i really don't think he is ugly
4:47 pm
MollyL
Charles lost out big time JMC. And look what he settled for.
4:47 pm
jacq
NB, may i ask who Frank is? and does he make you happy?
4:47 pm
jmcnrick
i guess i am not horsey enough! lol
4:47 pm
Nancy Boy
Plus, the royals are just the biggest bunch of Hooray Henrys you'll ever come across. Grossss. Real RAs ;)
4:47 pm
cosdem
Agreed Molly. Camilla looks like a horse. But then again so does Charles
4:48 pm
hurshy
charles did NOT settle. camilla was his first love, and they sundered them because he was thought too young to marry. it just shows you what a mistake it is to make people marry people they don't want to marry instead of the people they do want to marry.
4:48 pm
jacq
thats why they changed their attitude
4:49 pm
jmcnrick
well just because they sundered them she could have waited until he was older ... i think that story is a case of a woman wanting it both ways
4:49 pm
hurshy
i suppose, though i don't know enough about the sundering to know if camilla thought that was just that, or what.
4:50 pm
jmcnrick
clearly she was more than ready to pick back up
4:50 pm
cosdem
I have no respect for anyone who allows herself to be the mistress of the future King. She just helped the Royals look even worse.
4:50 pm
Nancy Boy
Yes to both questions, Jac :) Frank is my saviour, my flatmate and my best friend. But it's probably quickest to call him my boyfriend ;)
4:50 pm
m9f9l
but not your cupid.LOL
4:50 pm
jacq
the people in that calss (uber snobby) live differently from us mortals, they have affairs etc and as long as they are discrete a blind eye is turned
4:50 pm
hurshy
i still blame the parents.
4:51 pm
hurshy
i still blame the parents.
4:51 pm
jmcnrick
so she should stayed a virgin for the sake of England?
4:51 pm
jacq
class lol not calss
4:51 pm
jacq
glad to see you happy NB, you deserve it
4:51 pm
hurshy
elizabeth I did, jmc!
4:51 pm
cosdem
No she shouldn't have stayed a virgin. I doubt she was a virgin when Chuck and Di married anyway.
4:51 pm
m9f9l
fireworks. was being TOTALLY blind! last word pe5
4:52 pm
jmcnrick
and you KNOW that is not true hurshy
4:52 pm
jmcnrick
whoo hooo m9
4:52 pm
cosdem
But if she was so horny she could always have gone to a pub. There's a lot of desperate men who would sleep with a woman who looks like a horse :)
4:52 pm
hurshy
i believe camilla was already married when charles married diana, so that is a safe bet.
4:52 pm
m9f9l
robot ending
4:52 pm
Nancy Boy
Mmm, thank you Jac :) there's been a very long story getting up to this point. Oh, and you know the babbler JC? He played cupid for us ;)
4:52 pm
hurshy
actually JMC, i read alison weir's biography and it sounds like it most likely was true.
4:52 pm
jacq
ahhhh nice to know we have a cupid in the group
4:53 pm
cosdem
I'm biased :) I know Di wasn't the wife of the year either but I've met her once. I like her :P
4:53 pm
jmcnrick
Di seemed to have gotten the short end of the stick
4:54 pm
hurshy
i wonder with all he's seen, how hard it will be for william to have a successful marriage.
4:54 pm
jmcnrick
well at least he had the sense to live with her first
4:54 pm
hurshy
oh my gosh
4:54 pm
jacq
it woild be awful to be married to someone who loved someone else, regardless of status or wealth
4:55 pm
kje
next to last st5?
4:55 pm
hurshy
they just said something on tv about eva longoria and tony parker splitting up, and i swear i was JUST wondering like two days ago when that would happen. i feel prophetic.
4:55 pm
Nancy Boy
I don't really mind. I'm not particularly fond of any of the royals. Seems to me that all they do is complain - as if any of them really have anything to moan about!
4:55 pm
hurshy
(and i do not follow celebrity gossip at all - the thought just popped in my head)
4:56 pm
m9f9l
sure you don't have second to last and are looking for last??
and now for the rest of the st5
4:56 pm
jmcnrick
i think being a royal has to suck since your life is so subscribed
4:56 pm
hurshy
tell me a st5... (swap letters 3 and 4 for the last)
4:56 pm
jmcnrick
Charles wanted to be an architect and he was not allowed
4:56 pm
kje
nope, I have last
4:56 pm

i want to be an architect and i can't afford it!

ep5 - nora *****n, screenwriter, swap last two letters.
4:57 pm

ep + everyone apparently thinks camilla looks like a ***se
4:58 pm
hurshy
i don't think camilla looks like an equine. she does enjoy riding them, i believe...
4:58 pm
cosdem
LOL nice clue
4:58 pm
jmcnrick
when i said horsey i was referring to having and riding horses
4:58 pm

No way can I afford university. I'm actually so skint it's getting kind of interesting.

7:16 pm
Nef
Oh! I meant 1 more E for me to find! I just started within the last hour or so; still have 96 to find
7:17 pm
Nef
When do you usually start playing, lbd?
7:18 pm
lbdawger
depends on what time i get home from work. so, sometime after two. didn't get started today until around 4pm. then had to make dinner...
7:18 pm
dan2bit
evening all
7:19 pm
lbdawger
hi dan, nef and everyone.
7:19 pm

hi dan2. Cute picture of the baby there! :-)

7:20 pm
Nef
She sure looks like it!
7:22 pm
dan2bit
can I have the counts for the top row E for NBT?
7:23 pm
Nef
ei 5/12 and et 5/12
7:23 pm
lbdawger
en5 or et5, dan
7:23 pm
dan2bit
it's the en I need, apparently
7:23 pm
Nef
sorry, lbd is correct on the en5; my ei was for the bottom E
7:25 pm
dan2bit
duh fish me
7:26 pm
lbdawger
nah, it escaped me too, dan
7:26 pm
Nef
I can't believ that I still have to get NBT! I usually do that first thing; but am still missing the 1st column S and the second column O!
7:27 pm
Nef
Every stupid S I get works on the left one, not the right one!
7:28 pm
lbdawger
i hate to have to so** thru and match socks.
7:28 pm
Nef
that's for the left S, lbd. But I did just get the O (finally!)
7:29 pm
lbdawger
tell me a st*** about your childhood
7:29 pm
dan2bit
sr4 babblet comes from left
7:30 pm
Nef
that's also from the right one (as was the last clue; I got my lefts and rights mixed up. I need the left S in the first column, third row
7:31 pm
lbdawger
she needs the top row 4th column S
7:31 pm
Nef
thanks dan2! That's it!
7:31 pm
dan2bit
if you mix up the middle of lbd's clue you'll get one that comes from the left S also
7:34 pm
Nef
lbd; I always confusr my lefts and rights! I am a lefty; and then for over 40 years I've listened to a patients' heart and lungs and had to chart it the opposite of what *I* thought it was!
7:35 pm
lbdawger
finito and with Lickety's bonus words too!
7:35 pm
Nef
YAY, LBD!!!! WTG!!!!!!
7:35 pm
Jacula
You don't get extra points for finding those, some of us tried earlier. LOL
7:36 pm
lbdawger

7:37 pm
dan2bit
woo hoo lbd
7:37 pm
Nef
LOL! Boy, I'd be one crabby person lately if that were true of me! :-)
7:38 pm
Jacula
Nef - I'am an ambidetrous lefty, as in only do precision stuff with left hand. I've never confused my sides. Mind you, I've never tried to listen to see if Dr Who ha a heartbeat.
7:39 pm
Jacula
Missed the all important 'x' out of that word.
7:40 pm
Jacula
Mind you, not all precision work is left-handed. I could no more wield a pair of scissors in my left hand than fly.
7:41 pm
Jacula
And when sewing, though the needle and thread is in my left hand, my right side guides what happens.
7:41 pm
Nef
Jac, I'm such a lefty that I once injured my right elbow and found tht the only thing I used my right hand for was turning on my car and the automatic shift. Oh, and curling my hair (back in the day before curling irons were popular)
7:42 pm
shorty
so os8/40 is not in grid ,what is the other one thats not in here please?
7:42 pm
HarryHood
10 to go !! wheee
7:42 pm
Jacula
I also tie shoelaces right-handed, which is why I couldn't help my best friend's total lefty son with that.
7:44 pm
Jacula
It's better to be ambidextrous, I think.
7:44 pm
Nef
danged if I know, shorty! I'm not ready to open the list yet
7:44 pm
Nef
You can do it Harry! Go for it!
7:44 pm
HarryHood

7:44 pm
Jacula
Kep on keeping on, Harry!
7:46 pm
Jacula
The big fr words are my favourites fromthis grid.
7:47 pm
HarryHood
5 woohoo
7:47 pm
Nef
they were fun to find all of them
7:47 pm
Jacula
But it won't be those words people just finishing are looking for. It'll be the singulars or plurals they thought they'd put in, or the ite endings.
7:48 pm
Nef
err, I meant IT was fun....
7:48 pm
HarryHood
shorty - the do6/27 is the other

Jacula

7:51 pm
herinfernallady

7:54 pm
herinfernallady
Thanks. Do yo think that it is acceptable to contact people after a week of applying if it is with a recruitment co?
7:54 pm
Jacula
dan - I never look at tile stats, I just find words as and where I can.
7:54 pm
rururocks
yes to thank them for the interview and to tell them that you would like to work with them
7:55 pm

8:07 pm

8:55 pm
Trifioso
oh of course he is! he might be a threat to miss palin, and thus locked up tight. If he was just gonna kill his wife they would have let it go. But threated a Palin and you get the mama grizzly, remember?

8:58 pm

Just starting and I usually can rip off a bunch of easy ones but this grid looks like it will be quite a bit harder tonight for me!
9:44 pm
stidmama
it's not easy after the first 80
9:45 pm
stidmama
but there are some rather nice words, nicer because they are not common
9:46 pm

now down to 38 and getting sleepy. *sigh*
9:50 pm
lbdawger
grab the list, stiddy.
9:51 pm
stidmama
no LBD, the only way I can list nowadays is to flip between screens. my eyesight isn't good enough to do parallel windows... and no expert for mac
9:51 pm
lbdawger
oh bummer. it would make it go so much faster for you.
9:52 pm
stidmama
it would. I would finish WAY more grids if I still had access to expert
9:53 pm
lbdawger
we really need to get lickety to make expert work on macs
9:53 pm
stidmama
but in a way it's a much better challenge. I feel so much more accomplished when I DO finish! LOL

Jellen
Hooray for jilli!!!
10:56 pm
jillibus
Nd nobody loves the icons I work hard to research?
10:57 pm
jillibus
(Sorry -- in a bad mood because of this grid)
10:57 pm
Nef
YAY, jilli!!! WTG!!!!
10:57 pm
Minveryork
Congratulations jillibus on your fireworks! Way to go!
10:57 pm
Jellen
That's interesting, jilli...
10:57 pm
jillibus
Thanks, you nice people!
10:58 pm
Jellen
This grid is giving me a headache...
10:58 pm
Dindrane
I like your peace crane a lot, Jilli. :)
10:58 pm
jillibus
Don't let it, jellen -- just go to morewords, lol! Even then, it's not easy.
10:59 pm
Nef
jilli, I'm giving up and going to bed. I do like your origami crane; we used to make them all of the time when my son was young. I just don't keep up with the daily icons so didn't realize what it was!
10:59 pm
Jellen
G'night, Nef
11:00 pm
jillibus
Thanks, dindrane. Sometimes I wonder if icon themes should be discontinued.
11:00 pm
Nef
Good night All. Happy Babbling!
11:00 pm
jillibus
See -- people don't even look to see what they're about.
11:01 pm
Nef
jilli, *I* don't think that it should be discontinued. Even though I don't participate; when I DO play frequently I learn a lot readingf up about other people's icons
11:01 pm
Minveryork
dan2bit complimented my icon today which was nice.
11:01 pm
Dindrane
I agree with Nef... helps me learn.
11:02 pm
Dindrane
Makes up for the frustration of the game itself. :p
11:02 pm
Minveryork
Even though I do not always follow the theme, I don't think they should be stopped.Especially not on Friday
11:02 pm
jillibus
Your icon is beautiful, Min
11:02 pm
Minveryork
Thank you jillibus!
11:03 pm
jillibus
Funny -- so often the Rriday grid is so small that everyone finishes without the icon clues which are such fun.
11:03 pm
Dindrane
Makes me want to get back into making stained glass, so I can make something like it.
11:03 pm
Minveryork
On that positive note,I am REALLY of to bed now.Bye
11:03 pm
jillibus
Night, Min!
11:03 pm
Nef
right now I'm at the point of not being able to load my pictures from my camera onto my computer for some reason. I have never learned how to switch icons anywhere; I imported this one from another site I was on (or maybe my son did it for me; I can't remember)
11:05 pm
jillibus
Nef, if you have images in your My Pictures (or the Mac equivalent) the instructions in your My Account, left side, are quite clear. That's how I learned.
11:06 pm
jillibus
Anyway, time now for me to see what the next theme is and act accordingly ;)
11:06 pm
Nef
AND I'm off to bed too now. Jilli, don't be out of so**s about this grid and the icons etc. I'm kind of slow sometimes and I really need to take some computer classes to learn how to do things
11:07 pm
Nef
Good Night (for real this time! <POOF!~!!>
11:08 pm
jillibus
The coming themes are listed in my profile and the next one is Tea Cosies (I prefer the Brit spelling -- they are a Brit thing, after all) -- see you later...
