Thanks, Christine -- I thought so too. Today's theme is Abraham Lincoln. Nobody is helping sprite with these icon themes these days so she is posting ideas she hopes will interest people who are mostly in the USA -- to little avail, it seems. Now I must do my bit to support her efforts. How about others sending ideas, or telling her to give it up if it is of no interest? (Which I think woulod be a shame, limiting the scope of Babble)

VolleymomDee

1:21 am

stidmama

I am well joey, been thinking of you all week.

1:21 am

Douglas

1:21 am

stidmama

LOL not this time, douglas! but I looked twice, just to be sure!

1:22 am

stidmama

1:22 am

dfmchfhf

7s are:
ci em en en fi ho ne nu or pe pr re re re ru

1:22 am

joey

thanks, my arm is still all blown up, I guess I have to llive with it for a while more

1:22 am

stidmama

*final soothing cooling thoughts toward joey's arm*

*gone*

1:23 am

joey

thanks. I am about tired of it being all bandaged, from the tips of my fingers to my shoulder

1:24 am

VolleymomDee

ty df

1:24 am

dfmchfhf

aww joey :o(

1:24 am

jillibus

joey -- be sure to wear your squeezie thing on the plane -- my sis-in-law has the same problem -- I was luckily spared, so far (11 yrs ago for the op)

1:24 am

VolleymomDee

so sorry joey

1:25 am

dfmchfhf

what problem is this? squeezie thing? o.0

1:25 am

VolleymomDee

cannot find the other two stupid re 7's grrrr...

1:25 am

jillibus

lymphedema, dfm

1:26 am

joey

funny, the therapist wants me to wear the heavy night time jovi thing on the plane. There is not a chance, it doesn't let me bend my elbow, and that would be a bummer trying to get suitcases wherever. I will wear the light things on both arms and my legs too.

1:26 am

dfmchfhf

one is to go in again...
another is French for one with a fixed income,
last is one who no longer needs to work

1:27 am

VolleymomDee

bless you df got em!!

1:27 am

dfmchfhf

never had it nor know anyone who has joey... sounds painful from what I know though :o(

1:28 am

jillibus

dfm -- it often occurs after breast surgery and removal of lymph nodes

1:28 am

joey

not so much painful to me, very uncomfortable though, especially when my 7 inch wrist becomes 8 inches........ and my rings get stuck on my fingers.

1:29 am

jillibus

I wouldn't ry to wear the rings on the plane, joey

1:29 am

joey

you know, Jilli, it has gotten a lot of press here in the states recently. Sounds like someone has actually realized that it is a major problem.

1:30 am

joey

I don't plan on it.

1:30 am

jillibus

sure is, joey

1:30 am

joey

and I know that I have to get up and walk more than i normally do on the plane.

1:30 am

jillibus

dfm, men can get breast cancer too

1:30 am

Douglas

Wanting ruminate and tumeric to be words

1:31 am

dfmchfhf

1:37 am

lynxxx

Hello everyone

1:37 am

lynxxx

Congrats dfm!

1:37 am

joey

dfm, I had my second round of breast cancer last year. i developed lymphedema 6 months after my first surgery, had therapy and it was gone in about a month. I developed it again in September 7 months after that, but it got much worse about two weeks ago

1:37 am

lynxxx

1:56 am

joshuavorbis

phant prithee

1:56 am

lynxxx

are you OK?

1:56 am

dfmchfhf

"just" as in, seven minutes ago...

1:57 am

Christine

Were you wearing them?

1:57 am

lynxxx

were you wearing them?

1:57 am

dfmchfhf

I banged my head while searching for the lenses but apart from that I'm okay... (both lenses simultaneously and spontaneously popped out o.0)

1:58 am

Christine

Good grief ... poltergeists?

1:59 am

dfmchfhf

I think one triggered the other to go... both screws look completely shorn.

2:04 am

VolleymomDee

I had that happen with my last pair... and of course, they were my most expensive ones... glad you are okay

2:04 am

jillibus

what made them pop out? Did you sneeze or something?

2:06 am

VolleymomDee

expensive price... substandard quality here

2:06 am

jillibus

does anyone have acue foir the lone
C on the right side?

2:07 am

jillibus

a clue, that is (tired)

2:07 am

VolleymomDee

let me think a minute

2:08 am

VolleymomDee

ci + abbreviation for railroad + 1st person pronoun

2:08 am

joshuavorbis

jilli - plural clouds with structure like your handle

2:08 am

dfmchfhf

I was scratching my head before/while they popped.

2:09 am

VolleymomDee

hi josh...did you get them back together df?

2:10 am

jillibus

ty dee and josh -- nbt at last!

2:10 am

sammysmom

still need an re/7 ... the french one... clue please?

2:10 am

dfmchfhf

(luckily I had spare screws and screwdriver... not sure how long they'll last, though, since the old screws were stripped -- frame screwholes are probably stripped too)

2:10 am

VolleymomDee

I had to take mine back...

2:10 am

VolleymomDee

fingers crossed...

2:10 am

dfmchfhf

sammys -- add a vowel to the re6 before

2:11 am

dfmchfhf

I also appear to be bleeding -- scratched myself a bit harder than expected out of surprise. :o\

2:11 am

jillibus

I've been seeing ads on TV about cheap glasses -- anyone know why thjey're so cheap, including all bells and whistles like coatings etc?

2:11 am

lynxxx

dfm - find a girl with some nail varnish (pref clear) and put a drop on - helps keep the screws in place

2:11 am

sammysmom

never mind... just monkeyed it

2:12 am

jillibus

heads bleed easily, dfm

2:12 am

VolleymomDee

good question jili... mine were over $400

2:12 am

VolleymomDee

neosporin and bandaid...

2:13 am

dfmchfhf

the one major disadvantage of having claws instead of nails like normal people do. :o)

2:13 am

jillibus

about $800 here (2 pairs ofr the price of one, haha)

2:14 am

lynxxx

About 30 years ago I paid $500 for some Itaian glasses that I coveted....they looked stupid on me and I never wore them. Since then I have only ever paid at most $200. I have lots of pairs of glasses to choose from and am very happy.

2:14 am

VolleymomDee

:~)

2:14 am

jillibus

I just knew you were an extraterrestrial, dfm

2:14 am

dfmchfhf

I have no idea how much mine cost -- health insurance covers $800/yr on dentist+ophtalometrist (+glasses and other costs)...

2:15 am

VolleymomDee

well all I need to get going.... I hope you have a great day / eve...

2:15 am

VolleymomDee

jillibus

hitmen should be , jopsh, but...

2:16 am

dfmchfhf

*hoping it works for the week until I can go home for reading week*

2:16 am

dfmchfhf

hitmen/hitman aren't even in morewords o.0

2:33 am

If I get 1 word from the bottom e and 1 word from the bottom o, I'll be halfway and nbt, but I'm in dire need of a clue (and probably a fish)

2:34 am

Haz1558

ex5 - the leave in Latin stage style

2:34 am

Haz1558

*they

2:35 am

Haz1558

ex6 even. I should think before I clue!

2:35 am

Douglas

Oh, that's only in about a thousand Shakespeare plays...doesn't matter that it isn't really English, does it?

2:36 am

Haz1558

If it's good enough for the Bard, it's good enough for Enable.

2:37 am

Haz1558

or7 comes from there, a body cavity?

2:37 am

Haz1558

Plus or6 - will you have fries with that or6?

2:38 am

Haz1558

Oh, and hello Douglas and everyone.

2:38 am

Douglas

I don't feel too bad about not seeing ex6. But or7 is a perfectly prosaic word. Thanks, Haz

2:39 am

Douglas

Good night, all...happy Babbling

2:39 am

Haz1558

You're welcome.

2:39 am

Haz1558

Sleep well.

2:40 am

lynxxx

goodnight Douglas

2:40 am

lynxxx

Hello Haz.

2:40 am

Haz1558

Hello, lynxxx.

2:55 am

lynxxx

BBL perhaps - this is n ot working for me - slight headache

2:55 am

Haz1558

I see jillibus has been complaining again about people not posting icons. Her complaints are counter-productive in my case. I hate being nagged at to do things which aren't obligatory and therefore will only change icons if I feel like it. I'll never be a saint like you, lynxxx.

2:56 am

Haz1558

Hope you feel better soon, lynxxx, it's actually a nicer grid than yesterday's.

3:05 am

Kazzer99

morning all - lovely day today - weare going to do a 9. miles walk soon - thought I'd get some in cite

3:05 am

Haz1558

Good morning, Kazzer.

3:05 am

Kazzer99

whats the grid like this morning

3:06 am

Haz1558

I like it, some interesting words and longer words than you'd expect in a grid of this size.

3:08 am

Kazzer99

i am not doing too bad - yesterdays was quite hard

3:09 am

Haz1558

I thought so as well.

3:10 am

ChrissieDee

good morning everybody

Haz1558

Good morning, Chrissie, you're welcome.

3:11 am

Kazzer99

how is your Hubby Ruby

3:14 am

rubyfoo

I sprung him from the hospital on Thursday as they weren't doing anything for him beyond making him drink his yucky antibiotic.

3:14 am

rubyfoo

I sprung him from the hospital on Thursday as they weren't doing anything for him beyond making him drink his yucky antibiotic.

3:15 am

rubyfoo

He's safe in bed and I'm bringing his meals, trying to fatten him up, and the visiting nurse comes every day to "walk" him and t=do leg exercises, so it's all very well organized and he is much happer

3:16 am

Kazzer99

that is really good but make sure that u look after yourslf as well

3:17 am

rubyfoo

I'm OK, but thank you for your concern. I eat treats and all this extra walking (stairs!!!!) is making me stronger

3:19 am

dfmchfhf

hi {{ruby}}! :o)

3:20 am

rubyfoo

dfmchfhf

(speaking of which... :o( )

3:22 am

rubyfoo

sleep? I don't remember sleep.....

3:26 am

dfmchfhf

yes, what is this strange alien concept known as "sleep"? And also "eating"?

3:27 am

rubyfoo

I buy myself treats- jelly donut, elephant ears (palmiers, here), tofu! (yes), while making poor husban all his favorite things

3:31 am

dfmchfhf

I love tofu! :o)

3:36 am

dfmchfhf

4:00 am

rubyfoo

4:01 am

FMitch

lol ((ruby)) they were huge on the TV in the UK when I was much younger.

4:01 am

rubyfoo

this grid has some niced words but I'm still not at half. Yesterday was the first time since I started that I didn't have time to start

4:01 am

rubyfoo

the grid

4:02 am

rubyfoo

I'm surprised they don't run them on Fr TV since they run that old Diana Rigg series and others....

4:02 am

FMitch

I haven't had time to do a grid in 3 days and have only just started this one.

4:02 am

rubyfoo

(I am wearing your mittens, FM!)

4:03 am

FMitch

*grin*

4:03 am

rubyfoo

oooh, just got an 8 on my own!

4:03 am

FMitch

wtg!

4:04 am

Sally-catlover

Good morning everyone.

4:04 am

rubyfoo

yay, sally!

4:05 am

FMitch

Morning Sally :)

4:05 am

Sally-catlover

sshhh! Slightly hung over.

4:05 am

rubyfoo

not our sally......

4:05 am

FMitch

oops sorry *whispers Morning*

4:06 am

Sally-catlover

That's better FM.

4:06 am

rubyfoo

I only get hung over from red wine or good whiskey. Clear spirits (any variety) seem to be OK. Speaking very softly

4:07 am

FMitch

and what was the cause of the over imbibement?

4:07 am

Sally-catlover

Mixing my drinks FM :-(

4:07 am

rubyfoo

ahah!

4:08 am

FMitch

Oh you should know better than that! That has got to hurt *giggle* Sorry.

4:09 am

Sally-catlover

No sympathy, any of you.

4:09 am

Sally-catlover

Had friends round to watch Toy Story 3 :-)

4:09 am

FMitch

LOL!

4:10 am

rubyfoo

that's supposed to be the best of the series. Was it?

4:10 am

Sally-catlover

It was great. Some wonderful lines in it. I think my favourite was when one toy said to the other, "were you classically trained?".

4:11 am

rubyfoo

I love that!

4:11 am

Sally-catlover

Some of it way beyond children. Also Ken and Barbie make an over the top and hysterical appearance. We all loved it.

4:12 am

FMitch

Sounds like a great night!

4:12 am

rubyfoo

and, pray tell, what drinks did you mix?

4:13 am

Sally-catlover

Shan't tell.

4:13 am

rubyfoo

hahah

4:13 am

FMitch

Oh don't ask ruby, Sally is looking a bit green as it is.

4:14 am

Sally-catlover

No, just a bit of a headache and a distinct non-desire to get up this morning.

4:14 am

FMitch

perhaps it was the creme de menthe that did it.

4:14 am

rubyfoo

poor sally. I just found a lovely mu5/20 for half

4:14 am

Sally-catlover

Is Spring springing your way FM? Snowdrops out round here, absolutely wonderful area for them.

4:15 am

Sally-catlover

mu 5/20? Looking.

4:15 am

rubyfoo

the wild primroses are up in the fields and all the bulbs have started -- inches up

4:15 am

FMitch

Snowdrops are out, crocus are showing colour and daffodills sprouting all over but not open yet.

4:15 am

rubyfoo

I think it's arabic for a military style of dressing....

4:16 am

rubyfoo

looked it up, it's a judge of Arab law...

4:16 am

Sally-catlover

ty ruby. Would never have thought of trying that word. Sigh...

4:16 am

FMitch

oh and my rosemary bush is in flower - it is a very confused plant.

4:16 am

rubyfoo

after years and years, my rosemary bushes keep dying

4:17 am

Sally-catlover

We use it for civilian style of dressing, not military.

4:17 am

Soodle

Gingerly popping head above parapet.......... Morning all

4:17 am

rubyfoo

we are having a real drought here, no precipitation since Dec!

4:17 am

FMitch

Hello Soodle - come on out hun :)

4:17 am

rubyfoo

4:18 am

Sally-catlover

Hi soodle. Has there been yet another issue in the chog this morning?

4:18 am

rubyfoo

wearing mu5/20 and shooting marshmallow bullets at soodle!

4:18 am

rubyfoo

4:18 am

Soodle

Not at all, Sally. I just lay low for a couple of days :-)

4:19 am

Soodle

Catching marshmallows in mouth! Yum!!

4:19 am

rubyfoo

you're safe here with us

4:19 am

Sally-catlover

Good thinking. Found the whole confrontation rather sad. I actually read back in the chog for once to see what it was all about.

4:20 am

FMitch

awe a pair of ring doves are cooing away o/s - they must think spring is on the way too.

4:20 am

Soodle

Bygones! Sally, I loved Toy Story 3.

4:20 am

rubyfoo

I think that kind of hostility has no place in here

4:20 am

Sally-catlover

A lot of our birds are pairing up, FM. And inspecting nest boxes and so on.

4:21 am

rubyfoo

I hope they're carrying my missing ring!

4:21 am

Sally-catlover

Film was great, wasn't it soodle.

4:21 am

rubyfoo

the green finches are prettying themselves up for spring; they go very drab in winter

4:22 am

Soodle

My fave sort of film, Sally. Lots for the kiddies, but plenty for the adults as well

4:23 am

FMitch

I really enjoy a film like that, that has the layers in it that appeal to a very wide audience.

4:23 am

Sally-catlover

I was told it was very sad though, and I didn't cry!

4:23 am

Sally-catlover

Did you like Ken and Barbie, soodle?

4:23 am

FMitch

you mean you don't remember using half a box of tissues ;)

4:23 am

rubyfoo

strange Fr words in this grid: ci4/5, ti6/21, fu5/20 (2nd one)

4:24 am

Sally-catlover

And that evil baby!

4:24 am

rubyfoo

it hasn't been on TV here yet, I am very jealous

4:24 am

FMitch

I haven't seen it yet either ruby.

4:25 am

Sally-catlover

We belong to something called LoveFilm ruby, and get them from there. UK only, sorry, but FM could join.

4:25 am

Sally-catlover

Sorry, FM, I won't give away the plot :-)

4:25 am

FMitch

Don't worry - have seen the reviews and many clips on TV

4:26 am

rubyfoo

sometimes we get movies that haven't even opened yet, which is very weird. We got Lost Luggage a long time before it opened in the US

4:26 am

rubyfoo

BTW, it's a fine film with Isabella Rosselini

4:27 am

Sally-catlover

Will check that one out ruby.

4:27 am

rubyfoo

playing an orthodox Jewish matron -- lol. She plays dumpy ladies now, even though her face is still so beautiful

4:28 am

FMitch

Oh my, somehow it has got to be almost 10.30 and I must away - supermarket will be heaving *le sigh*
Thanks for the chat and back in a while.

4:28 am

rubyfoo

my son said she appeared naked in Blue Velvet (an unwatchable film for me) and he had to look away, it was so awful!

4:28 am

Sally-catlover

bye FM.

4:28 am

rubyfoo

{{FM}} I'm leaving, too, attempting to cook a veal tongue as a treat for me! Never made one before

4:28 am

Soodle

Sorry - was on phone. Ken and Barbie were hilarious. But it was so sad at the end...., I got a little bit misty-eyed!

4:29 am

Sally-catlover

But surely it was a new beginning soodle.

4:29 am

rubyfoo

soodle and her magic phone!!!!

4:30 am

rubyfoo

have you seen 27 dresses? I've seen it 4 times now and I love it!

4:30 am

Soodle

Iknow, I know. But I cry at the Little House on the Prairie, and the Waltons!

4:30 am

Sally-catlover

No ruby, never heard of it.

4:30 am

rubyfoo

I cry whenever there is a wedding in a movie

4:30 am

rubyfoo

It is a lovely film with Katherine Heigl.

4:31 am

Sally-catlover

Um, never heard of her either :-(

4:31 am

Sally-catlover

Will look at that too.

4:31 am

Soodle

Oh hells bells. Doorbell, and me not even dressed. I'll be back later. Bye all. Poof

4:31 am

my son is almost 15 and his girlfriend is a year younger.

7:00 am

FMitch

15!!! good grief they grow up so fast but then again I guess when I started babbling he was only 10 LOL

7:02 am

sprite

lol yes! But way too young for any adult stuff, in our opinion... but then again, as parents you don's always know. So we are walking the fine line between telling them what we expect from them c.q warning them... and on the other hand trusting them when they say they don't intend any adult stuff yet.

7:02 am

FMitch

Good and good that you had the chat with the other Mother

7:03 am

sprite

you know the kind of talks... "don't go the whole way yet, save that for a bit later... but if you do anyway, do it the responsible way..."
And then we try to ignore the eyes rolling up to heaven from our sprouts, lol

7:04 am

FMitch

LOL so glad I will never have to be that age again.

7:04 am

sprite

8:15 am

rubyfoo

how long have they been married?

8:15 am

uusue2

he's 89 and in rehab after breaking his leg, she's 85 and has emphysema, they've been married 35 years

8:15 am

jmcnrick

i hopes i don't have hicci today

8:15 am

lil*monkey

uusue, not to pry but why is she moving out?

8:15 am

hurshy

8:15 am

rubyfoo

hello jmc!

8:15 am

lil*monkey

hi jmc!

8:16 am

hurshy

aw, thanks jmc!

8:16 am

uusue2

I think she's in a panic because he's not there to take care of her, and she's moving in with her son. but it's a long way away.

8:16 am

lil*monkey

OK so it's not because she does not love your dad anymore? It's more of a health thing?

8:16 am

uusue2

they've lived in NJ all their lives, her son lives in MI, and I'm in IL - nobody is close to anybody else

8:17 am

lil*monkey

sorry to hear that uusue.... that is a difficult situation {{{{{{{{{{ uusue}}}}}}}}}}}

8:17 am

uusue2

hard to tell at this point, lil - she wanted to go into assisted living right away, he didn't and especially not so far from home, they fought, and now ???

8:17 am

jmcnrick

8:17 am

uusue2

8:17 am

rubyfoo

that sounds like an impossible situation

8:18 am

MollyL

Hugs for ((((Sue)))) That is a pretty drastic decision she threw at your Dad. Especially when he's sick.

8:18 am

uusue2

it is; I hope she just needs a break and someone to take care of her for a while, and that things will settle down after a while

8:18 am

lil*monkey

oh thanks for the heads up, jmc *rushes over to Facebook to post bday greetings*

8:18 am

rubyfoo

8:18 am

MollyL

Well then, Happy Birthday to Jellen. Special occasions are hard the first year.

8:19 am

uusue2

he's in pretty good spirits - more angry than depressed - which is good.

8:20 am

uusue2

anyway, didn't mean to throw a damper on everybody....good news from here is that it is warming up! we are actually seeing some pretty nice weather for a change!

I am all about walking into a room to do one thing, then see something else, totally forget the first thing,then do something else, and so on, thoughout the house, until I get back to point A... wondering why I didn't do the first thing I set out to do

9:53 am

Dorens

i thought that was an alltime low when i did it.... buti think worse things have happened since, I just can't remember what they are. or whether or not I took my gingko biloba today?

9:54 am

JBV

how about leaving the key in the front door lock overnight...

9:54 am

Dorens

10:27 am

mkg

any clues for o words please?

10:27 am

10:30 am

cybernan

mkg

nm.

10:31 am

Dorens

when i first went to england and had little time, salisbury was recommended as having one of the nicest cathedrals to visit, and of course its proximity to stonehenge worked

10:31 am

Dorens

well of course je, isn't that logical?

10:31 am

mkg

jmc i mean you said the ci 7 was from ether. so ether is a chemical so is ci a chemical too?

10:31 am

jmcnrick

oh no i meant the ci7 comes from the internet ether

10:31 am

Dorens

i knew that!

10:32 am

13 years in the general area. I now live within walking distance of Christiana Mall.

12:53 pm

Judi

Gee, you may know my husband, Brookie. He was involved in Toastmasters for a while about a year ago. Work demands have put the kibosh on his attendance lately, though.

12:53 pm

Brookie

And I work in downtown Newark.

12:53 pm

Judi

Wow! What a small world. Where do you work? I'll pop in and say hello. We live about a mile outside of town.

12:53 pm

Brookie

I joined Toastmasters less than a year ago, so I might have missed him, sadly!

12:54 pm

Brookie

I work at Unique Impressions on N. College Avenue (between Main Street and Cleveland Ave.).

12:54 pm

72 Temple Owl

i have a general question. one of my dad's friends lief ta message on his machine last week because he had not heard from him. he is homebound so not in network with other friends. what should we do? we do not kno any of his children.

12:54 pm

FMitch

Just noticed that the last or7 is used in the production of pe7/52!

12:55 pm

Judi

Very cool! I will remember to stop in next weekend!

12:55 pm

FMitch

You should let him know TO - hard as it might be.

12:55 pm

72 Temple Owl

o.O i don't have the pe7/52 but that sounds...

12:56 pm

cosdem

12:56 pm

Brookie

Although I don't work there on the weekends. Drop me a line at delawarebrookie@gmail.com, and maybe we could catch up for lunch sometime?

12:56 pm

72 Temple Owl

...interesting

12:56 pm

PAV3

I apologize TO, but I gather your father passed away? or maybe not as serious?

12:56 pm

uusue2

i don't have it either, and am wondering how that would work (using an or7 to produce something - maybe some kind of extrusion?)

12:56 pm

72 Temple Owl

yes, pav. right before christmas.

12:56 pm

cosdem

theres only one or7

Scrabbler

Hi kids. I was here several hours ago and did not like this grid. Now that I am back I am reminded that I still do not like this grid.

1:00 pm

FMitch

I am going crossed eyed - I meant the or6 in my convoulted reference earlier.

1:01 pm

Brookie

At least your memories are grounded in reality, scrabs.

1:01 pm

FMitch

Greetings Scrabs!

1:01 pm

Judi

Hiya, Scrabbs!

1:01 pm

PAV3

years ago, my then closest friend's dad also passed a way right after Christmas. He was home in a neighboring state and didn't tell me until after the new year, when I asked how his holiday went. I was rather miffed, but understood he didn't want to deal with contacts at the time. You should feel some reassurance your dad has many friends who take the time to call, even when they aren't 'in the loop'.

1:01 pm

Boobear

I was crosseyed yesterday on that awful grid

1:01 pm

Scrabbler

Just for this situation, Brooke. Reality is overrated.

1:02 pm

Brookie

LOL, scrabs.

Hi Screabbler

1:03 pm

Boobear

1:03 pm

Scrabbler

Owl, the same thing happened after my friend's father died. She broke the news gently. The more stories she heard about her dad the better she felt.

1:03 pm

72 Temple Owl

hi boo!

1:03 pm

PAV3

ugh! now just the lone right C for NBT... I may just move on...I do need to get going to watch "The Eagle" and then cafe duty at church...

1:03 pm

Scrabbler

Hi Boo

1:05 pm

wvteach

right c - alternate spelling for thin white clouds

1:05 pm

rubyfoo

yesterday was the first time I haven't played since I started. Does that mean I don't have a life?

1:05 pm

Scrabbler

I found or7 all by myself! *proud Babble moment*

1:05 pm

FMitch

PAV add a cons to the ci4

1:06 pm

Scrabbler

Your life is correctly prioritized--Babble is high-ranking.

1:06 pm

rubyfoo

thank yo, scrabs!

1:06 pm

Boobear

clue for ex 6 please

1:07 pm

rubyfoo

leave the stage

1:07 pm

FMitch

lol Scrabs and on that note I shall pottle off.

1:07 pm

PAV3

...does that mean I have a life (finally) when I haven't been online playing Babble, or just too much work and no play?

1:07 pm

72 Temple Owl

ruby: if you missed yesterday, you need to get your priorites in order.

1:07 pm

rubyfoo

bye FM

1:07 pm

72 Temple Owl

Happy Babbling all and see you anon.

1:07 pm

rubyfoo

I think I did 50 flights of stairs

1:07 pm

Boobear

its ok

1:08 pm

Scrabbler

Missing a day of Babble is not a confession to be made without consideration of the ramifications.

1:08 pm

PAV3

yay NBT! thanks for the help...when I come back this eve I won't have to worry as much...

1:08 pm

rubyfoo

uh oh, are you going to tell on me? back to jr high!

my only pr6 is one who does pr5, but I don't think it's the first

1:11 pm

I am still trying to figure out the alternate word for the cloud. Isn't it enough that I spelled it right once?

1:11 pm

PAV3

ci5 12

1:11 pm

72 Temple Owl

ok, time to go get lunch, i do not want to eatlike i am starving at tonight;s gathering

1:11 pm

1:12 pm

72 Temple Owl

1:12 pm

rubyfoo

bye TO

1:13 pm

MollyL

Isn't it amazing what someone else cooking can do to your appetite?

1:13 pm

rubyfoo

it's certainly true for me, molly!

1:13 pm

Scrabbler

I think I already have it, wv, which means the monkeyed ci4 also means the cloud?

1:14 pm

rubyfoo

I actually weigh 300 lbs but do this elaborate thing with smoke and mirrors!

1:14 pm

rubyfoo

I don't think so, scrabs, the ci4/5 is wax in Fr

1:15 pm

wvteach

not really, it is the alternate spelling for what we usually call the high thin white clouds

1:17 pm

Scrabbler

I do have both ci5/12's.

1:17 pm

MollyL

Ruby is talking about the ci 4/5...not the ci 5/12

1:17 pm

rubyfoo

I love the ic ending in this grid, even though I only have 68 words

At first, I had a hard time with that re 5/14 being clued that way. That's not what it's called in the US.

1:57 pm

uusue2

sorry, molly, I live with people who have lived a long time with brits, so I get things mixed up sometimes

Do you have another c?lue for it, Molly

1:58 pm

frogface

ci7/36 pls xxx

MollyL

No problem Sue. It's clued here that way all the time. I just remember the first time it was clued, thinking it was the "other" word and not seeing it.

1:58 pm

uusue2

re5/14 = re + double consonant + vowel

1:59 pm

When I en5/10ed Babbleland today,was happy to see a small grid. I have not finished the en 6/18 grid yet, but I'm almost done so here is a story of clues. Hubby is so cr 6/24al of Babble. I can't even en 6/21 him to be a tr 5/10 of the game. He thinks I ex 5/20 myself too much when babbling, but not when cleaning.Wish I could hi 4/5 someone to clean my house. Hubby also fi4/8ly believes that I'm hooking up with people here. I'm so sick and ti4/4d of his paranoia. Well,I think he spends too much time on Farmville. I wish I could set his farm on fi4/7! I do not think that there are any fi 7/44 on Farmville he could call. Husband wants laptop If I don't give it to him, there will be a pr 5/14 to pay if his needs are un 5/14. He'll have a fi 6/30 attitude and may cause a ho 8/65 scene. I fr4/7 what he may do if I don't give it to him.He thinks I PMS sometimes. I swear to God I think he is pr 6/24strual sometimes. I don't want to buy a laptop,but I wish I could be a re 6/18 and re 4/4 one. Maybe I could be a th 5/18 and sneak one out of my school.Anyway, I am going to go look at a Chinese me 4/5 for take-out tonight. I feel like eating chicken and broccoli with ri4/5.I'll re7/28 Babbleland in th5/12 hrs before I re 6/18 for the nite

4:25 pm

Minveryork

He does hate babble, but he is not as nasty as I make him out to be.Hubby would be so hurt if he saw how I portrayed him my story of clues.Really he ignores my babble addiction and I ignore his Farmville addiction.

Kap, I remember when you were talking about a member of another chat board of yours passing. You really do feel like you've developed a closeness with someone when you interact with them on a regular basis.

4:56 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Yeah.

4:56 pm

Dorens

sure molly, we all know each other sorta kinda... and when some of us meet it is always kinda cool... we think we know each other and then there is this stranger with a voice that you don' t recognize

4:57 pm

stidmama

It's always so very sad to lose someone we know, and sometimes it's harder when that relationship is only just beginning...

4:57 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I feel even worse about NB , oddly- he was very compelling. And so young.

4:57 pm

Dorens

in some ways i talk more to people here than my family and friends... i mean, it is a daily ting

stidmama

He was a lovely young man, with so much potential and joie de vivre

4:57 pm

frogface

4:58 pm

KatieMcG

I think it is added to as he was only a babe and we all felt motherly towards him. He may have lost his own mum but got about another 30 on here!

4:58 pm

MollyL

He had a very bright spirit, and people like that shine through in a chat forum. And DAMN he was funny.

4:58 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I think I mentioned when my nephew died, a computer website went crazy when they found out- he had built the site - they didn't know he was a 15 year ld kid.

6:30 pm

Glantarell

food prices are rocketing here in the UK - are your prices shooting up in the US too?

6:30 pm

oooh, there may be. I'm leaning toward something with rice, maybe use the tofu in the fridge.

6:31 pm

Glantarell

fried rice with eggs stirred in at the end?

6:31 pm

dcseain

Yes, the prices have been climbing, though locally, rising faster where my mother and sister live than where i do, as prices got to point where i live that we stopped buying food.

6:31 pm

Glantarell

use the tofu and some frozen peas?

6:31 pm

dcseain

their county's prices were lower, so theirs have been going up, and almost match ours now, at which point we'll rise in lockstep, i'm sure

6:32 pm

Glantarell

stopped buying food? can you grow enough to live on? Not a possibility for me

6:32 pm

Glantarell

whjereabouts in the US are you dcs?

6:32 pm

dcseain

oh, most of us have at least a month's worth on hand. I'm in the Virginia suburbs of Washington, DC

6:33 pm

Glantarell

ah, i live in the hills of south Wales and it's too high to grow anything but cabbages & leeks in winter but yes, I do have about month's stocks - probably more if I thought carefully about all the dried pulses hiding in the cupboard LOL

6:34 pm

6:34 pm

hootowl

do all the easy stuff then do the hard ones.

9:06 pm

Mark Jones

I try, but it is harder than it looks.

9:08 pm

hootowl

well finding the re's would have been easier if you started w/ the 4 instead of the 7. same for a lot of the others

9:09 pm

Mark Jones

*sigh*

9:10 pm

hootowl

plus alot of words use that ic and er ending

9:10 pm

Mark Jones

Okay, i will look for those.

9:16 pm

Mark Jones

Can i have the 8 that isn't the he8?

9:18 pm

hootowl

it's ho8/65 and means something terrible - why don't you use the list?

9:19 pm

Mark Jones

Thanks hoot! My Lickety is not functioning today.

9:19 pm

suefrad625

9:19 pm

suefrad625

9:20 pm

hootowl

9:35 pm

lil*monkey

9:37 pm

hootowl

another word for 3 of a kind in card games

9:38 pm

lil*monkey

hmmm

9:39 pm

wildcat17

rhymes with a word to make a hole in something

9:39 pm

hootowl

a penny is also a **nt - ad that to ti4

9:40 pm

hootowl

add

9:40 pm

lil*monkey

thank you all, i finally got it

9:40 pm

hootowl

yw

9:43 pm

lil*monkey

pr7 please?

9:45 pm

hootowl

if you have the pr6 change the sec vowel to a diferent one and add a vowel to the end

9:45 pm

lil*monkey

thanks hoot! got it

9:46 pm

hootowl

great - yw

9:46 pm

hootowl

one of those words that have no definition - even in a reg dictionary!

9:48 pm

lil*monkey

When I see a word in the grid like pr7, I have to again queston why POOT is not considered a word

9:50 pm

hootowl

enable is at least 40-50 yrs behind the rest of the world.Poot must be too new

9:50 pm

lil*monkey

conjugate the verb to POOT

9:51 pm

lil*monkey

haha

9:51 pm

hootowl

it's your word - you do it :D

9:52 pm

wildcat17

firewords

9:52 pm

hootowl

congrats wildcat

9:53 pm

lil*monkey

dammit what is the 2nd cr6

9:53 pm

wildcat17

same as 1st change 1st vowel

9:54 pm

lil*monkey

ok thanks, just found it

9:54 pm

lil*monkey

i hate this grid!

9:54 pm

wildcat17

it was quite a beast

9:54 pm

lil*monkey

i am quitting with 30 left

9:55 pm

lil*monkey

i have to fold laundry now

9:55 pm

hootowl

9:55 pm

9:55 pm

lil*monkey

night all :)

9:55 pm

wildcat17

nite monkey

9:56 pm

hootowl

NITE MONKEY

9:56 pm

hootowl

sorry caps were accidental

9:57 pm

hootowl

wildcat do you think there is a legitimate reason for NOT using the list and just asking people?

9:57 pm

wildcat17

lol I thought you were trying to make a point

9:57 pm

wildcat17

I guess some people like the challenge. like it invalidates the win if you list or something

9:57 pm

hootowl

not usally that way :D

9:58 pm

hootowl

but what's the challange if you are just interrupting other people?

9:58 pm

wildcat17

I'll admit to times when I did not want to list

9:58 pm

wildcat17

they don't see it as interrupting

9:59 pm

wildcat17

they see it as a means to achieving a goal

9:59 pm

hootowl

well I don't list till I've wrung out every word on my own - then I get the rest with the list

10:00 pm

wildcat17

especially with the many people who offer to clue

10:00 pm

hootowl

If I ask someone it's cause I'm either desperate or very busy. And usually for only one

10:01 pm

wildcat17

I usually don't ask either

10:01 pm

hootowl

yeah - I think that can be another ego trip

10:01 pm

wildcat17

it does take some work to figure it out on your own even with the list sometimes. maybe they don't want to work that hard for it

10:03 pm

hootowl

I think we are both pushing the envelope here. Everyone has there own feelings about this and it is probably easier to avoid the issue than talk about it

10:05 pm

hootowl

I really can't see the point of not doing as much on your own as possible

10:06 pm

wildcat17

neither can I but that's how it appears some people think

10:07 pm

hootowl

yeah - I guess so. So we will continue to do our own thing and chat when done

10:07 pm

wildcat17

pretty much

10:07 pm

hootowl

that works

10:08 pm

hootowl

I am now going to find a nosh. Been nice talking to you.

10:09 pm

wildcat17

Pini..I've been off and on for several weeks now, and also missed the news of TO's father's passing at Christmas (found out this morning)

11:50 pm

PAV3

there are times when I think we live in a privileged quiet world here in Babbleland, and then stuff happens = life. I am sad but we muster onward...

11:51 pm

Pinikula

oh ... didn't mean to give a double-header, pav...

11:51 pm

Pinikula

...I agree...

11:51 pm

Jillyjill

No Pini, if someone (like me) doesn't know about it, they should know

11:52 pm
