joshuavorbis

little more than a month away from completion, i should say

1:13 am

rururocks

Not a bad grid. The only words I had trouble with were the ones I could not find right away.

2:41 am

Haz1558

But once you found them, did you stop looking?

2:42 am

Haz1558

Good morning/evening all.

2:44 am

o-o

Yes, I have tried to be more disciplined. Good day, Haz.

2:44 am

Haz1558

Hello, BabbleRabble. You're very wise. I enjoyed the joke in your profile.

2:45 am

o-o

Do you have much snow there, Haz?

2:46 am

Haz1558

About 2 inches, which isn't a lot really, but there's more to come.

2:46 am

Haz1558

Unsalted roads are pretty treacherous.

2:47 am

o-o

The news says record snowfalls in some areas of GB

2:47 am

Haz1558

It's unusually cold for this time of year.

2:47 am

sandrafrances

None here yet I am pleased to say

2:48 am

Haz1558

Yes, I think the mainland and especially Scotland have been badly affected.

2:48 am

o-o

Expecting blizzard conditions today. Might need a jacket/

2:48 am

Haz1558

Hello, sandra - are you a bit further south? It seems to be the north that's faring badly.

2:49 am

sandrafrances

On the London/ Essex border

2:49 am

Haz1558

Blizzard sounds nasty. Keep a scarf to hand as well.

2:49 am

Haz1558

I think you'll be okay, sandra, according to the forecast maps I saw last night.

2:51 am

o-o

I must go. Be well and safe.

2:52 am

Haz1558

And you, BabbleRabble. Can I offer you a couple of e letters? They'e seriously getting in the way of me making words.

3:07 am

Haz1558

3:09 am

lshult

no idea about the rest!!!???

3:11 am

Haz1558

I looked in the list. tr8 - plural for a period of three years.

3:12 am

Haz1558

Think of the plural end for the word meaning a thousand years and stick a 'three' prefix in front.

3:14 am

lshult

got the 8 ty

3:14 am

Haz1558

You're welcome.

3:16 am

3:54 am

Sally-catlover

Good morning everyone.

3:55 am

rubyfoo

good morning sally!

3:55 am

lynxxx

hi Sally

3:55 am

Sally-catlover

A nice sized grid! How is it so far.

3:56 am

lynxxx

not game to comment

3:57 am

rubyfoo

very quick 29 and now I'm looking at all those vowels! Feel like old mac donald!

3:59 am

Sally-catlover

Two squares greyed already! (top left A and Y!)

3:59 am

rubyfoo

not me!

3:59 am

rubyfoo

I only greyed the q~

4:00 am

Sally-catlover

There's a q? Have only just started.

4:00 am

Sally-catlover

Q greyed :-)

4:00 am

rubyfoo

there's a y? you're kidding me

4:01 am

Sally-catlover

:-)

4:04 am

rubyfoo

monkeyed the y, phew!

4:04 am

Sally-catlover

It's a fairly common babblet, ruby. One to add to your list.

4:06 am

rubyfoo

now monkeying the a; all of mine come from the second column!

4:06 am

Sally-catlover

Do you want the second letter?

4:07 am

rubyfoo

monkey found it; he's lolling around with a banana

4:08 am

rubyfoo

or he's monkeying around with the banana

4:08 am

Sally-catlover

Perhaps you've overfed him and he doesn't really want the banana?

4:10 am

rubyfoo

would be typical of me, spoiling my animals!

4:11 am

Sally-catlover

Is it an organic freetrade banana? Perhaps he's a monkey with ethics.

4:11 am

Sally-catlover

Not freetrade. Fairtrade.

4:12 am

rubyfoo

and shy, to boot!

4:14 am

rubyfoo

left column greyed, yay, small accomplishment

4:14 am

Sally-catlover

Still need ne R from there

4:16 am

lynxxx

ra4.6 or ra4.4 (last one all vowels)

4:16 am

rubyfoo

ra4 and re4? no, 2 re 4's

4:17 am

Sally-catlover

No, from there they are both re words. Have them both now, plus the top R.

4:19 am

rubyfoo

ty lynxx, got the ra4/6 from the letter count

4:20 am

rubyfoo

got the all vowels one, too. ty ty

4:20 am

rubyfoo

only 55 words to go! hahah

4:20 am

rubyfoo

nine

4:21 am

rubyfoo

whoops, sorry

4:21 am

Sally-catlover

Oh, I thought you had instantaneously got 46 words.

4:22 am

Sally-catlover

Smug. Just got three ae words.

4:22 am

rubyfoo

and I always try inee which I thought was a Sou American dart poison! NOT

4:23 am

Sally-catlover

Have you got the eskimo boat yet? One we have had before.

4:27 am

rubyfoo

nope, don't remember. I must be getting old (haha, already got old!)

4:28 am

Sally-catlover

Do you want the stats?

4:28 am

rubyfoo

pls, sweet sally

4:28 am

Sally-catlover

oo 6/24

4:28 am

rubyfoo

ooh, just found a nice an6 on my own. *chuffed*

4:29 am

Sally-catlover

Think the version I have seen before is spelt with a different final letter which sounds the same. (Clue but I hope not too much of a giveaway)

4:29 am

rubyfoo

ty, this time, I'm writing it down

4:30 am

rubyfoo

one more for half (another tiny milestone)

4:31 am

lynxxx

too tired for this - night Ruby & Sally

4:31 am

5:23 am

Eva

12:03 pm

EvaNadine

Dr Scrabs -- i have a question!
my right ankle has been hurting (on the outside part of the ankle) ever since my honeymoon (a month ago)
it seemed to start hurting from all the walking we did, but the pain/discomfort hasnt subsided.
do you think it could be the onset of arthritis? (i have feared early-onset arthritis from all the dancing i did growing up)

12:03 pm

dfmchfhf

Gonna be testing a GM script soon, please bear with any stupid glitches please :o)

12:04 pm

crosshair

i once had a feeling like that eva,was a sharp stabbong pain when i flexed a certain way..turned out to be a bone spur from a old injury

12:04 pm

MollyL

*Molly faints. Eva is too young to have arthritis*

12:04 pm

Judi

Must have been the high heels, Crossy.

12:04 pm

crosshair

lol from a old broken ankle

12:04 pm

EvaNadine

this isnt a sharp pain. its fairly dull, but sometimes (especially when im walking around a corner) it almost feels like my ankle isnt strong enough.

12:05 pm

crosshair

they dont make many size 10 heels in a colour i like

12:05 pm

Judi

Picky tramp.

12:05 pm

MollyL

I'd guess a bone spur before arthritis.

12:05 pm

crosshair

so they had to open me up and remove it..was that ever painfull afterwards!!!!!!

12:06 pm

EvaNadine

molly, i know!
thats why its gotten me worried. but with all the abuse i put on my joints over the years, it seems the most likely answer to me...
i have had bone spurs before, and those felt different.

12:06 pm

MollyL

Eva are you taping it or bracing it at all?

12:06 pm

crosshair

my god! so bad that on the second day post op,i had to go to emerg and get them to redo the bandages

12:06 pm

jmitch

If I only knew Eva well enough to joke about ankle injuries on honeymoons! So many jokes.....

12:06 pm

crosshair

was on oxy-codin(sp) for ten days

12:07 pm

EvaNadine

lol, jm -- im actually surprised no one has made that joke yet. ;)

12:07 pm

Judi

*opens Pandora's box of honeymoon jokes* Wheeee!

12:07 pm

EvaNadine

molly, i havent been yet. ive been TRYING to wear flat shoes, but i do wear my heels around the office. (thats not much walking, but apparently its still too much!)
it doesnt hurt as much when i wear flats.

12:09 pm

EvaNadine

crossy -- i was on that last year with my kidney stone.
slept for a full day!

12:10 pm

Judi

Oxy is wicked stuff. I had Percocet for after my back surgery. Worked well for the pain but made me sleepy as hell.

12:11 pm

Judi

My step-mum was worried that I would get addicted. I am sooooo not an addictive personality. I shun most drugs.

12:11 pm

crosshair

oxy- meds are amazing,guess that is why they only dish them out in small amounts lol

12:11 pm

MollyL

Could be any of several things Eva. Could be a stress fracture, could be a tendon thing. You are a dancer, you know the drill.

12:12 pm

crosshair

i told you eve not to do everything in that kama sutra book!

12:12 pm

EvaNadine

well, as far as i can recall, i didnt DO anything to it. no tripping, twisting, or anything i can think of to cause an actual injury.
we did a LOT of walking, and it got sore, so i thought that was it, but its been a month now, and still hurting!
thats why i am fearing arthritis...

12:12 pm

crosshair

i look at one thing in there and immediatly phone ikea to see if they could send someone over to help me put it together

12:13 pm

Judi

They just shut down a pain managment clinic near me, Crossy. The "Doctor" had doled out over 10,000 prescriptions for 30mg Oxycontin in 25 days. Turns out, he was a major supplier to all the drug dealers in Wilmington, DE. They found tons of money and guns in the Doctor's office as well as in his vehicle and home. Crazy as bat sh*t.

12:13 pm

EvaNadine

oh, my crossy...heh

4:05 pm

MollyL

Do you people who like snow have folks who shovel it for you and drive you in it?

4:06 pm

cosdem

Nope

4:06 pm

MollyL

I think I might like snow a little more if that were the case.

4:07 pm

cosdem

I only like snow til Jan 2nd --- when the Holidays are over

4:08 pm

Good Enough

i love snow but hate the cold so winter is fine while it is snowing. it sucks the rests of the time.

4:09 pm

MollyL

What I dislike the most about winter is "slippery". I am terrified of slipping on ice.

4:09 pm

dfmchfhf

I don't like winter because the air is too dry and the ground is too wet.
The temperature is okay though... :o/

4:12 pm

Good Enough

ah gotta love our individuality!

4:13 pm

cosdem

i dont like winter when it's -20 outside and I can feel stuff inside my nose freeze

4:13 pm

dfmchfhf

<-- has burned (yes, burned...) himself via a static discharge :o(

4:13 pm

Good Enough

that might be TMI but i totally agree!

4:13 pm

bichon

No, I don't either. But, it feels so good when you come inside and warm up. I like the oziness

4:14 pm

MollyL

Ah, Cross was just speaking of frozen snot earlier today. I was at a bus stop once, and it was ten degrees. I was so cold I wanted to cry, but I was afraid my tears would freeze.

that stinks

4:30 pm

cosdem

ar5? :(

4:31 pm

we begrudgingly did a cable.phone,internet package with rogers recently..but we save over 50 dollars over having all that with three different providers

4:31 pm

angelinaxox

ar + don't ***l someone's secret

4:31 pm

cosdem

i have dish for cable... and qwest for phone/internet.. we're saving $220.00 a month this way and we get more cable channels

4:32 pm

Mark Jones

We have comcast, and it didn't go out yesterday;

4:32 pm

crosshair

here the weather is always knocking dish cable out of order

4:32 pm

crosshair

so mot many use it

4:33 pm

crosshair

not

4:33 pm

cosdem

all my neighbors have dish.. so we askd them all.. they all say. .dish- fine. no problems.. directtv- big issues when bad weather

4:33 pm

cosdem

it snowed bad last night and we had no issues with dish - so that was a nice relief

4:34 pm

cosdem

ty angelina!

4:34 pm

crosshair

we were thinking of netflix,but i do not want to spend the rest of my life watching b grade movies

4:35 pm

cosdem

b grade? netflix has every movie known to man!

4:35 pm

Mark Jones

They're not b grade! I have netflix and it is awesome! I agree with cosdem.

4:35 pm

cosdem

from major hits to movies no one has heard of

4:35 pm

crosshair

we can get it now for 8 bucks a month

4:35 pm

MollyL

Oh, so that's what happened to my internet last night. I live in a condo and will not "uglify" my patio with a dish. I don't watch enough movies to justify Netflix. Also, I used to cruise the movie rental stores for old favorites. Ah, I miss the "video" store.

4:35 pm

cosdem

i get it for 14 a month but thats b/c i do 3 at a time.. if i wanted 1 at a time thats 8 bucks.. good deal nonetheless b/c u can also watch it streaming

4:36 pm

cosdem

Molly -- How about Redbox?

4:36 pm

MollyL

Yeah, we have Redbox, but their choices are very limited. I'm working on amassing a DVD collection.

4:38 pm

cosdem

Thats why I have cable.. i record movies on the dvr, then record it to my dvd recorder so I have a copy :)

4:38 pm

cosdem

with dish - dvr is free

4:39 pm

cosdem

comcast was one major rip off really

4:40 pm

MollyL

Alas, Comcast has the monopoly here. If I lived somewhere that the dish wouldn't white trash my patio, I would consider it.

4:40 pm

cosdem

yeah.. im lucky my dish is on the roof.. but comcast is the only other provider here

4:40 pm

crosshair

good lord took me all this time to find the water conveyance you use a paddle for...

4:41 pm

MollyL

And I would need a long tutoring session on how to DVR and all that.

4:41 pm

cosdem

and with comcast.. TvLand stops captioning tv shows after 9pm.. while on dish it still works. so.. and i NEED closed captioning

4:41 pm

MollyL

That one eluded me for a while too Cross, don't feel bad.

4:41 pm

cosdem

molly - just press record :) thats all u need to know lol

4:41 pm

crosshair

our tv adds cc to any program that supports it

4:42 pm

Mark Jones

Can I have a wr hint?

4:42 pm

MollyL

Cos, that "stops captioning after 9PM" sounds like the makings for a lawsuit. What about the ADA laws?

4:42 pm

cosdem

yes crossy we have it here too. it's the law :) but... the problem was with comcast's sytem.

4:42 pm

cosdem

once we switched to dish CC has never been an issue.

4:43 pm

MollyL

wr 5/18...people used to wr*** letters. Now they just text and email. SIGH

4:43 pm

cosdem

we talked to comcast's CC department. they say it is a glitch in tvland's stations but why does it work with dish and any other cable provider and not comcast?!

4:43 pm

cosdem

clue for the ca6?

4:43 pm

Mark Jones

I got that one molly, but thanks. I have 2 but need the 3rd.

Kaplan the Magne

Kaplan the Magne

Just like Jackie kennedy

6:29 pm

Kaplan the Magne

As a kid I knew the Sherman versions before I knew the real songs in some cases, which was a bit odd

6:30 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Sorry A knitter- this is esoteric, but you can look up Allan Sherman- "My son the Folksinger" and then you too will be in the know.

6:31 pm

Kaplan the Magne

And now back to our regularly scheduled program, already in progress.

6:31 pm

aknitter

6:32 pm

MollyL

Or Disraeli

6:34 pm

MollyL

My Dad is laughing at this on the other side. He loved that record.

6:43 pm

Kaplan the Magne

The key to the palace is under the mat---My dad too.

6:44 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Did you dad love Mel Brooks and Carl Reiner too? Cellophane!

6:46 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I do miss my dad. It's almost 10 years.

6:47 pm

MollyL

Carl Reiner yes. Mel Brooks was a little too crude for my Irish Catholic Pop. I miss my Dad too. And almost ten years as well. Dad crossed over in 2001.

6:48 pm

Kaplan the Magne

But on a lighter note- I went down to Mt. Sinai hospital...

6:49 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Your dad was Irish and he got Allan Sherman? Are you Molly Malone- cockeyed and musclebound Molly Malone?

6:49 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Mine died in 2001 also.

6:49 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Early Mel Brooks. Before he got scatalogical.

6:50 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I gotta go but it's been fun reminiscing.

6:50 pm

MollyL

That would be me Kap. I am also known as the devil with the blue dress on, but not to my Dad. ; P

6:50 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Bye. Sorry for hogging the chog.

7:08 pm

NonnieLight

no luv...I was working on that same word when you asked that question.

7:08 pm

MPittore

Molly, sometimes big fish swim by and churn up the water but after they go by the water returns to as it was before...big fish can't help but being seen and they are an easier target because they are easier to see by all...little fish sometimes dart behind them but and can escape they are still there just less noticable....

7:08 pm

NonnieLight

we + double consonant + more of ending

7:09 pm

LuvWordGames

cow sound backwards then 3rd vowel, 1st and 3rd consonants
