4:26 am

rubyfoo

4:27 am

Soodle

LOL. I have had a sucession of various tradespeople coming in to give estimates. And the dehumidifiers have done their stuff - all the water is now gone. I am waiting for the written estimates now, and I will pick the most expensive to send to the Insurance co, and pick the cheapest to do the work!!

Sorta hanging in there too, cod outside but need to go out shortly.
Hi Brookie!

5:46 am

zoozzoom

I1m ok, Brookie, how goes things with you?

5:46 am

Brookie

Hi FM! It's freezing in my neck of the woods too. Would be very nice to stay indoors all day.

5:47 am

Brookie

Doing well, zooz. Started my new job this past week, loving the job and just trying to get into a groove with it, so I'm not as time efficient as I wish to be. But it'll happen.

5:48 am

FMitch

Congrats on the new job.

5:48 am

zoozzoom

Glad to hear you are doing well in your new job, Brookie, it always takes a while before you get into a routine that you are comfortable with.

5:48 am

Brookie

Thank you. Much more fun, better company morale, and pays better. Can't beat that!

Have gone word blind which tells me it is time to get my act together and head out. TTFN.

MollyL

Good day all. Very cold here (I'm not far from Brooke). A wowzing 10 degrees. I put some soup on first thing, as that makes the place feel warmer and cozier.

5:54 am

zoozzoom

Hello, Molly :-)

5:54 am

Brookie

Good morning, Molly! I'll pay you to bring some soup to me.

5:54 am

Brookie

Or maybe I should ask what kind of soup, first. :-)

5:54 am

zoozzoom

lol

5:55 am

MollyL

Sometimes, I think if we all lived in the same neighborhood, the world would be a better place.

5:55 am

Brookie

True, though traffic would be a bear.

5:55 am

MollyL

It's the beginning of chicken/vegetable soup.

5:56 am

Brookie

Sounds delish. I'm starving but am too lazy to walk 2 feet to the kitchen to make something.

5:59 am

MollyL

Oh, our little pet goose is back. Aloha goose.

6:02 am

Brookie

Pet goose? Outside I'm assuming.

6:03 am

MollyL

No, it's what is referred to as a babblet. ne4

6:03 am

Brookie

Ah, yes. :-)

6:04 am

zoozzoom

YaY thats all the 8s found.

6:04 am

Brookie

Congrats, zooz! Haven't gotten any yet. Are they fairly obvious?

6:05 am

zoozzoom

I would say three are, one was a little tricky to get.

6:05 am

zoozzoom

and thats the tr8 word that i found tricky.

6:06 am

Brookie

Will keep on looking.

6:07 am

zoozzoom

i can clue it if you want me to.

6:07 am

Brookie

Clue would be great, thanks!

6:08 am

zoozzoom

6:08 am

Brookie

Great clue, got it, thanks!

6:09 am

zoozzoom

yw :-)

6:09 am

Brookie

And I learned a new word.

6:10 am

zoozzoom

I have learnt a lot of new words playing babble :-)

6:11 am

Brookie

And I learned a lot of "words" that aren't words but should be words because it would make solving the grid much easier. :_)

6:12 am

zoozzoom

lol..how true, Brookie :-)

6:14 am

MollyL

Lickety should have a stat for "words most often seen in grids". Because I swear, the light gas is in 98% of them.

6:15 am

Brookie

That's true. So's the goose.

6:16 am

zoozzoom

I know what you mean, molly, on other grids i have entered a word that i swear was accepted before, yet not on other times..so frustrating..lol

6:16 am

Brookie

Somehow I've stopped seeing words. Gonna take a break now. Have a great day, Molly and zooz!

6:17 am

zoozzoom

And you, Brookie...might see you later on in the chog :-)

6:18 am

Brookie

Hopefully! (Poof!)

hows the grid today?

6:32 am

zoozzoom

Not too bad.

6:32 am

Anniebrook

good, thanks, that is encouraging

6:33 am

MollyL

Does anyone else ever wonder about instructions on medication? "Take one tablet by mouth every day". "By mouth"? How else are people trying to take them? Maybe I don't want to know.

6:34 am

Anniebrook

I know what you mean, molly.

6:34 am

zoozzoom

Some are taken at the other end, Molly..lol

6:34 am

scouser

Hi Molly: if you lived in France or Switzerland you would know about other ways of taking meds.

6:35 am

MollyL

It's like the instructions on powdered baby formula. "Add water before feeding". This indicates that people have actually tried to spoon feed infants dry powdered formula. Gads!

6:35 am

MollyL

SEE!!! I told you all I probably didn't want to know! Why in Gods name would people do that???

6:36 am

zoozzoom

Oh how awful..trying not to imagine the scene.

6:37 am

scouser

Any clue for he7/32 please .

6:37 am

scouser

Molly - if gastric problem, meds can be absorbed elsewhere. e.g. aspirin

6:39 am

zoozzoom

he7 someone who gets all the Contents when some-one passes away?

6:39 am

zoozzoom

Normally has `in` in front of the word.

6:40 am

Anniebrook

thanks, zooz

6:40 am

scouser

thank you. zoo. Now the last one: de6/33 that may have nothing to do with teeth

6:41 am

6:43 am

6:43 am

Anniebrook

de and a type of plum

6:43 am

zoozzoom

opp to en**** in conversation.

6:44 am

Anniebrook

is en8 a compound word?

6:44 am

scouser

Aha - probably French then without the accent?

6:44 am

zoozzoom

or we are en****ed to be married.

6:45 am

zoozzoom

no, Annie.

6:45 am

Anniebrook

thanks zooz

6:45 am

zoozzoom

it has to do with medicine absorbed through the skin, Annie.

6:46 am

7:51 am

MollyL

Thank you Sprite.

7:51 am

Trifioso

7:52 am

MollyL

Define golden

7:52 am

hurshy

now someone will ask what a golden birthday is

7:52 am

sprite

roflol

7:52 am

MollyL

Already done. Hee!

7:52 am

hurshy

and i will say it is the year in which your age matches the number of the day of the month on which you were born

7:52 am

Trifioso

lolol. He is turning the same number as his date -- he will be 18 on March 18th

7:53 am

periwinkle

NBT!!

7:53 am

kje

I was too young to know mine

7:53 am

sprite

periwinkle: or think of a room that has been closed too long and smells stuffy. It must be ***** because it has been un***** for so long.

7:53 am

MollyL

Never heard that called golden before. And good that I did because my second will be (gasp!) 30 on the 30th this year.

7:54 am

Trifioso

secondo already had hers, when she was 8, and tertiare's isnt until she is 27, when my plan is to turf it off on someone else.

7:54 am

sprite

oh wow Molly, nicely in time for you to celebrate

7:54 am

Anniebrook

and I was only 1

7:54 am

sprite

my girl's was with 3, alas. Son's will be at 25.

7:54 am

Trifioso

YAY!!!! do it up, Molly! Gold invites, gold paper plates, gold ribbons, etc.

7:54 am

periwinkle

sprite, isn't that the un7"

7:54 am

sprite

yayyy Annie! A golden child from that day on.

7:54 am

Trifioso

ew. you did rather lose out there, annie....

7:55 am

MollyL

I will have to mention that to his wife. They are party animals, so she may use that as a party theme.

7:55 am

Trifioso

oh, sprite, that is why I adore you! see how cheery you are!

7:55 am

sprite

:D well I know Annie is a golden lady

7:55 am

Trifioso

mine was my 21st. and we hadn't heard of them yet, so c'est dommage....

7:56 am

Anniebrook

what a nice idea...never heard of a golden birthday before

7:56 am

Trifioso

Primo is also graduating in just three months, so I am trying keep things under control here.

7:56 am

hurshy

mine was my 27th, and i knew about it, but didn't do anything special anyway.

7:56 am

Anniebrook

My daughter was born Leap Year Day

7:56 am

periwinkle

never heared of golden BD,mine would have been at 19

7:57 am

sprite

hursh, you are golden anyway. Birthday or no.

7:57 am

sprite

wow that is special. Aging slowly all by herself!

7:57 am

hurshy

i have never been to IHOP. i think i wish to go this morning. the question is how long do i have to wait before waking up husband.

7:57 am

Trifioso

I first heard the term when I was out in the midwest for college, so it might be a midwest kind of thing. Nothing my Puritan Pilgrim forebearers would have thought of, anyway

7:57 am

Trifioso

I think it depends on how hungry you are, hurshy

7:58 am

hurshy

my tummy just made a noise.

7:58 am

sprite

I'd say open a window and a door, then slam the door hard enough and claim it was the draught. Problem solved.

7:58 am

Anniebrook

why wait, hurshy

7:58 am

hurshy

i don't think he would buy that i opened a window when it is below freezing.

7:58 am

hurshy

wait because i am considerate, annie :)

7:59 am

sprite

that is, assuming he would be unpleasant if you woke him gently by hand... which is what I would do with my love.

7:59 am

hurshy

he wouldn't be unpleasant, i just want to be nice, and i don't know how late he stayed up.

7:59 am

Trifioso

but that is dangerous, hurshy! going to an IHOP when you are starving is like grocery shopping when you are the same. you will end up eating the biggest plate they have, which is mighty huge

8:00 am

Trifioso

sprite, that sounds...well, sort of naughty!

8:00 am

Trifioso

if memory serves....

8:00 am

hurshy

i will not eat the biggest plate because i don't like sausage OR bacon, so whatever i order will not include those things.

8:00 am

sprite

nothing wrong with living dangerously, grin. Go for it. Cuddle up to him, and wake him.

Errrr yes Trif... am afraid I am ;)

8:01 am

Trifioso

I am sure the hubs wouldnt' mind THAT sort of awakening, anyway! whoooo!

8:02 am

sprite

mine never does, that is all I know

8:02 am

Trifioso

show off! :)

8:02 am

sprite

sorry, grin

8:03 am

Trifioso

9:46 am

Trifioso

normally I am sitting with a student, and I will be in a bit, but on saturdays we are required to have another person on site, and today we only have one student, so I am keeping things legal whilst my coworker tutors, and then we will switch

9:46 am

sprite

very good. Let your coworker do babble later

9:47 am

Trifioso

I dont know what she does during her office hour. Probably cleans, or organizes files, or something supremely company oriented and useful. I prepared my sunday school material for tomorrow, and now I am babbling. Employee of the year!

9:51 am

Trifioso

okay. just wondering....

9:54 am

dan2bit

9:54 am

Trifioso

9:55 am

dan2bit

I listed a while ago, and now have 3 left. I have listed and now have 3 left. There are 3 words not on Lickety's list. Two "o" words and one "r" word. one of the words in 5 letters and the the other two are 6 letters. Has anyone else encountered this as well?

11:22 am

PAV3

finally NBT!

11:22 am

MollyL

Not sure what you mean. Are you saying that you have words that were accepted on the front page that are not on Lickety's list? What are they? No one else has had this problem today.

11:26 am

fuzzybunny

I have filled in Lickety's list and on the babble page it still shows that I need 2 "o" words and one "r" word.

11:27 am

flosey

good morning everyone

11:27 am

fuzzybunny

Hi Flosey

11:27 am

flosey

fuzzy, have you tried typing in those words again?

11:27 am

crosshair

or are you saying that lickety has some extras,that happens from time to time as lickety is more up to date than enable

11:27 am

fuzzybunny

Yes, I re-typed all of the words I had in Lickety's list

11:28 am

flosey

lickety's list shows 149 words, as does the puzzle

11:28 am

flosey

try going out and coming back in

11:28 am

fuzzybunny

Okay, I haven't tried that yet.

11:28 am

MollyL

Do your words on the front page match your words on Lickety's list? There are six o words.

11:30 am

fuzzybunny

Molly - Thanks, exiting out and logging back in fixed the problem, I now have FW.

11:33 am

fuzzybunny

Not sure I spelled that right!

11:35 am

flosey

11:35 am

fuzzybunny

What is truly scary is that she may be a candidate for president in the next election.

11:35 am

flosey

oh, ouch, cannot imagine it

11:36 am

fuzzybunny

I can't either, but she appeals to a certain type here in the US

11:39 am

hello again briefly -- just wanted to alert you to the cryptic clues for the 8s dfm left last night and which can be found in my profile after the bobblehead writeup. They're Brit-type cryptics, some are anagrams, some are sounds...they're fun to decipher in themselves if you like word games.

9:25 pm

TedinDurham

clue for ge7/40 ?

9:25 pm

jillibus

There are many other kinds of Brit-cryptics.

9:26 pm

I agree. No S in a 149 word grid.

10:34 pm

Nef

10:47 pm

Minveryork

Felt like a total ai7/36 doing the grid, but I finally did finish so here is a clue story.I was a he6/24 today by staying inside all day babbling. My tr 4/4 of monkeys ir4/5 me again today.They acted like re 8/55s again. They have such bad ma6/21 sometimes.When I asked monkeys for help they said they were sick and didn't want to give me their ge4/7s. I knew that they were lieing.They were en7/48 in a game of tag with the de 4/5 near a he 5/18 at the ed 4/7 of my lawn.So I told them I would go to their favorite ma 4/5 and buy lots of bananas to fe 4/8 them. They just ga 4/8ed up on me and gn4/6ed at me. They said that they don't like bananas anymore. Now they like or 6/24s. Then they started talking badly about me in Ge6/27. Wanted to ha4/7 them by their he4/6 & break their ge4/7 caps Threatened them by telling them they ma4/6 help me or they would no longer be he7/32s to my estate.But they didn't he4/6 my warning. I told them they were un 7/40. I think I ne 4/5 to hi 4/5 new monkeys. The monkeys I hi 5/14 are no good.I relied on my he 6/24 babble friends who gave great clues. Babblers are my he4/5.Da4/7! Hubby wants the computer. If I do not give it to him,he'll cause a ri4/4.Eyes are starting to fa 4/8 anyway.I'm ti 5/12. I will sure4/5er the laptop to him.I am going to go watch An 4/4 and the King on En 6/21. Then I am going to re 4/5 a book in bed and goto sleep.Good luck to all finishing the grid. Goodbye
