BabbleExpert is a wonderful thing Lickety made for PCs, where everything is on one page and there is a "Lickety Add" box where if you type one word it goes to both lists, and if you type more than one it goes to the chat. There are other goodies too, like a link to morewords above the grid in the Resources tab. It's free -- just email Lickety and ask for it.

3:25 am

well they have raised the retirement age here until 67 - so at 55 you still have a lot of 'useful' years left - before they put you out to pasture!
3:26 am
Glantarell

they keep changing the retirement age for women here it was 60 but is increasing depending on the yhear you were born - i think 61 is the minimum for me at the moment
3:26 am
Haz1558

Good morning/evening all.
3:26 am

but they are talking about raising the age for everybody soon - i'd like to be able to afford to retire and garden and make art

3:34 am

I have a weekend off :) All weekend!
3:35 am
Atalante

I discovered a sea slug. And some seaweed previously unknown in Kent. Does that count :)
3:36 am
Haz1558

Dear me. I'm seeing things. I could have sworn Ata was posting but that's just a dream, right?
3:36 am
lynxxx

Wow! not sure that a 'slug' would count (OK it's just me then) but def. the seaweed. Clever you. Do you get 2 new badges for the sleeve of your uniform?
3:37 am
Haz1558

I'd say it would merit an extra big clipboard as well.
3:37 am
Atalante

noooo but I get to write a press release about them!
3:38 am
lynxxx

Yay you. Next it will be the scientific journals!
3:38 am
Haz1558

Do you get to sound all breathless with excitement with many !!! or do scientists have to come across all nonchalant?
3:38 am
Atalante

oh very nonchalant and uninterested
3:39 am
lynxxx

It is great that you so excited about the new(ish) job still
3:39 am
Haz1558

So if we ever read a scientific journal where they're keen, we'll know they're fakes?
3:40 am
Atalante

absolutely. "A new species of sacoglossan mollusc was recorded from St Margaret's Bay in March ..." etc etc
3:41 am
Haz1558

Did FM plant it, do you think?
3:41 am
Atalante

science should send you to sleep within a paragraph
3:41 am
Atalante

quite possibly
3:41 am
Haz1558

I wouldn't put it past her.
3:41 am
Atalante

nor me
3:42 am
Haz1558

She's being lying low these days, trying to lull a new generation of babblers into a false sense of security about things she's responsible for.
3:43 am
Haz1558

The oldies know better, of course.
3:43 am
Atalante

well yes. we know ...
3:44 am
Haz1558

I suppose you missed out on the two mega-grids this week. Two grids over 500 in three days. THAT was FM's fault.
3:44 am
lynxxx

I have noticed on Andree (from Sydney) profile that she has bought a house up the coast of NSW and is enjoying her new life with Hugo
3:45 am
Haz1558

Plus the server was acting up and people were having nervous breakdowns because they couldn't get words entered.
3:45 am
Atalante

ouch! definitely FM material that. I never thought it could be possible that work would prevent even thoughts of babble for days on end, but it does
3:45 am
Atalante

awwww I hope she's happy with lovely Hugo
3:45 am
Haz1558

Funnily enough, lynxxx, I had been thinking about Andree and wondering what she'd been up to. Are the grandchildren still with her?
3:46 am
lynxxx

No. She says that she makes the trip down a few days a week (for the business) and stays with her. Bet the kids go up for holidays though
3:47 am
Haz1558

So she hasn't got the business sold yet.
3:47 am
lynxxx

Jellen appeared a couple of days ago too. Lovely to see
3:48 am
Haz1558

Yes, I noticed Jellen in the chat, she seems to be doing okay.
3:48 am
lynxxx

I guess not Haz. Odd that it hasn't sold, building down here is booming, maybe not so much in Sydney
3:49 am
Haz1558

Hugo will be over 2 now. Just think, he'll be all grown up and reasonably sensible.
3:49 am
Atalante

"reasonably"
3:50 am
lynxxx

how are your 2 Ata
3:51 am
Atalante

Sily is sitting right here with me basking in the sunshine
3:51 am
Atalante

Hobbit is her normal silly self :)
3:52 am
Haz1558

So Hobbit can't even get the 'reasonably' sensible label?
3:52 am
Haz1558

I have news that will surprise and delight.
3:53 am
Atalante

she's a spaniel!
3:53 am
Haz1558

Spangle doesn't sleep outside in the kennel any more.
3:53 am
lynxxx

Yay!!!! happy spaniel!
3:54 am
Atalante

hurray!!!
3:54 am
Haz1558

It is an unused kennel. The kennel is closed.
3:54 am
Atalante

what does spangle think of that?
3:54 am
lynxxx

but I must ask 'how come?'
3:54 am
Haz1558

It was a combination of the really severe weather and the softening of husband's heart.
3:55 am
Haz1558

It was just silly having her inside the rest of the day and then shoving her out at night. He finally gave in.
3:55 am
lynxxx

"cuse me, I'm being barked at (talking about silly dogs)
3:55 am
Atalante

how long did it take her to get used to not having the kennel?
3:56 am
Haz1558

It took a couple of nights for her to realise that she was in the kitchen to stay, but once she got the message, she's got into the new routine.
3:57 am
Haz1558

It's quite funny in the morning, when you come downstairs, if she's already awake she's sniffing furiously at the bottom of the door to determine if anybody's around.
3:57 am
Haz1558

She's so deaf now that she doesn't hear us up moving around so smelling us is the only option.
3:58 am
scouser

Hello all. Lickety appears to have an error: offline is not in the dictionary so there is a stray of7 in his list.
3:58 am
Atalante

awwwww :) it must have been very odd at first for her
3:59 am
Haz1558

I think she was slightly confused but has decided to go with the flow and not rock the boat. There, you try getting two cliches into a sentence.
3:59 am
Atalante

at least both water based cliches
4:00 am
Haz1558

Hello, scouser, yes, Lickety uses a different version of enable from babble so sometimes non-words appear.
4:00 am
Haz1558

Yes, water based cliches are best otherwise you'd be up the creek without a paddle.
4:01 am

4:05 am
Soodle

Leave her alone, Haz - its her weekend off!
4:05 am
Haz1558

Oh, but her brain needs to be kept stimulated so that she's ready to find more slugs on Monday.
4:05 am
Atalante

there aren't any left!
4:06 am
lynxxx

is fl5.18 really acceptable?
4:06 am
Haz1558

Nonsense, Ata. You can sneak a look at Clicheweb, your friendly website for all things cliched.
4:07 am
Kateq

perhaps baseball?
4:07 am
Haz1558

I don't like fl5/18 either.
4:07 am
Atalante

do they sponsor you too?
4:07 am
Haz1558

Not yet, but that's a good idea.
4:08 am
Haz1558

You can't insult me, it's like water off a duck's back.
4:08 am
Atalante

of course it's acceptable. Fl5 Lice. Famous Chinese dish.
4:08 am
Haz1558

When I don't babble, I'm like a fish out of water.
4:09 am

she is a CAT, not a monkey. Silly Ata.

awwwwww :D
4:26 am

a spaniel, in other words :D
4:29 am
sprite

totally. Am still so very happy with your advice, back then. Terra fits our family as a glove. And he loves being with us as well.
4:30 am
Atalante

I know I'm biased, but spaniels are just wonderful happy dogs
4:31 am
sprite

it is true. I have seen a whole lot of other dogs since we got Terra, and I think there are no happier dogs than spaniels.
4:32 am
Atalante

I'm sure every other non-spaniel dog owner in the world would disagree, but we know you're right
4:36 am

yeah. They just don't know any better.
If you want, check out my Flickr now. New pics are added.
4:38 am

he's beautiful!!!
4:38 am

am trying to think of a semi modest answer. But I have to agree. He is.
4:39 am
Atalante

little fluffy feet!
4:40 am
Haz1558

All the better for The Arranging Of The Paws.
4:40 am
sprite

yes! Officially we should pluck the old hairs from between his toes. But he hates hates hates that. So once in a while I just grab the scissors and make the fluffs foot-sized again. Or he would start looking like he walks on those oriental slippers.
4:41 am
Atalante

pluck them!!!
4:42 am
sprite

that is what they say. I can't, though. His feet are too sensitive and I refuse to make him miserable.
4:44 am
Atalante

I do the same every few months with hobbit
4:45 am

plucking or cutting?

some may vie it that way. some may say it is the random movement of hte universe
8:20 am

and it is learned that God is an extremely sophisticated computer...

now fantasy fiction is another story. i do not care for that.
8:26 am

what is an example of spec fiction?
8:26 am
72 Temple Owl

science fiction is the more common term
8:27 am
Kaplan the Magne

Oh.
8:27 am
72 Temple Owl

but the community felt it had an image problem, thiking it was more about the human struggles and themes rather than the technoligy. not just little green men taking over etc

Aloyisius

tomorrow, tomorrow, I love you, tomorrow..
8:52 am
rubyfoo

I have a question, if your husband wished you dead in the morning, would you still make him dinner?
8:53 am
rubyfoo

it sounds like a riddle, but, unfortunately, it isn't
8:53 am
welki

maybe .. but a 'special' dinner
8:53 am
Aloyisius

what's up with that guy? gheez
8:54 am
rubyfoo

changing that miserable subject, does anyone remember the scene from "Dave" when Sigourney Weaver and Kevin Kline sang that and the policemn said "Your wife needs work."
8:54 am
welki

<-- thinks it's time for ruby to update her passport, pack a back and head to visit her son (permanently)
8:55 am
welki

pack a bag, too
8:55 am
rubyfoo

maybe I'll load it up with butter, good for his cholesterol!

good morning everyone:)

8:58 am
Kaplan the Magne

goooooooooooood morning, and a fi** one it is!
8:58 am
welki

hi crossy
8:58 am
rubyfoo

aloy, if it wasn't for the dogs and my garden, I would
8:58 am
crosshair

any day on this side of the dirt is a good one:)
8:59 am
Aloyisius

diggin in the dirt is so therapeutic
8:59 am
Aloyisius

yanking weeds too
8:59 am
Kaplan the Magne

Yanking. That always sounds so onscene.
9:00 am
Kaplan the Magne

Obscene. Which reminds me of my dream last night, actually
9:00 am
Aloyisius

h'mmm, the word does imply some hostility
9:00 am
MollyL

Oh, do tell.
9:00 am
rubyfoo

uh oh.....
9:01 am
Kaplan the Magne

I made friends with these prostitutes, and gave them my gold earring (which first they had stolen, but gave back to me because I was cool)
9:01 am
Aloyisius

interesting.. where is our dream analyzer?
9:01 am
Kaplan the Magne

but there were also these lowlife guys and I smoked a really cheap cigar that turned my mouth all brown and full of gooey stuff
9:01 am
MollyL

Hmm, befriending prostitutes. I can think of a holy man who did that. : )
9:02 am
Kaplan the Magne

Oh-my-god- a dream with cigars in it.
9:02 am
rubyfoo

eeew
9:02 am
MollyL

You know what Sigmund would say about that.
9:02 am
Kaplan the Magne

I can't believe I had a dream with cigars in it.
9:02 am
Aloyisius

h'mm. verrrrrrrry interesting.
9:02 am
SeaSpray

I would worry about the gooey stuff
9:03 am
crosshair

((ruby)) reading back,i would tell the grumpy old fossil that he knows where the kitchen us and can make his own dinner cause you are too busy dying lol
9:03 am
rubyfoo

wait, I'll fill my pipe
9:03 am
MollyL

I wasn't gonna go there Sea.
9:03 am
crosshair

sometimes a cigar is just a cigar lol
9:03 am
Kaplan the Magne

and I had to go home on the train- so I met my husband -and all these prisoners on bicycles rode by...
9:03 am
SeaSpray

lol...couldn't resist Molly
9:03 am
Kaplan the Magne

I know. I repeat - I cannot believe my dream had cigars in it.
9:03 am
MollyL

Prisoners on bicycles...oh my....this dream is full of interesting symbolism.
9:03 am
Aloyisius

prisoners on bicycles? we def. need an expert..
9:03 am
rubyfoo

it is amazing that you remember your dreams in such detail. Do you write them down (as a therapist?)
9:04 am
Kaplan the Magne

And prostitutes, and...
9:04 am
Kaplan the Magne

no, I don't but this was unusual. Prisoners on bicycles?
9:04 am
MollyL

Prisoners and prostitutes and lowlifes, oh my!
9:04 am
rubyfoo

I dream a lot, mostly wonderful ones, but only remember that they made me feel good AND usually have TV actoras and actresses in them
9:04 am
SeaSpray

You been to see Charlie Sheen Kap?
9:04 am
Kaplan the Magne

I had gone to an art supply store in Dorchester (Massachusetts) to buy supplies for woodcuts
9:04 am
MollyL

Prisoners on bicycles is easy. You have something locked up that you want to set free.
9:05 am
Kaplan the Magne

One of the prisoners had craaaazy eyes!
9:05 am
crosshair

or you need a bike fixed
9:05 am
crosshair

lol
9:05 am
Kaplan the Magne

really- I had a dream with cigars. When does that ever happen?
9:06 am
Aloyisius

how did you know they were prisoners? were they wearing orange jumpsuits?
9:06 am
SeaSpray

ok, now I won't go there
9:06 am
MollyL

Sexual overtones with an element of freeing something locked up. Maybe you need to buy a slinky dress and take your husband out on the town. Let your wild side out.
9:06 am
welki

sounds like salvador dali took over your sleep, mag.. would make a great mural
9:06 am
crosshair

or take up cigars...
9:07 am
Kaplan the Magne

here's another sick part- we met a friend on the train (train!) who was doing handgestures to act out what the prostitutes were doing- and everyone on the train was laughing
9:07 am
SeaSpray

omg rofl this keeps getting better and better
9:08 am
Kaplan the Magne

I knew they were prisoners because I recognized one of my former clients who tried to rob a bank and went to jail. That's real- not a dream
9:08 am
crosshair

order up a strip-o-gram and tell the company to send a box of cubans along with her for when she does her routine
9:08 am
MollyL

The cigar thing could be the obvious phallic symbol, or it could symbolize you "smoking the peace pipe with your internal naughty side (the lowlifes)"
9:08 am
Kaplan the Magne

A cigar is a cigar is a cigar.
9:08 am
Aloyisius

Molly, you are good!
9:08 am
MollyL

*Cues up Pink Floyd..."Have a cigar"*
9:09 am
Kaplan the Magne

I think the dream is telling me to stop babbling and get out there...
9:10 am
MollyL

I was a psych major for three years. I dabble in dream analysis.
9:10 am
crosshair

crossy fires up a cuban cigar and dives into da grid...sploosh
9:10 am
Kaplan the Magne

Do you really think people should write their dreams down? so incriminating.
9:11 am
MollyL

Not unless they realize that dreams are full of symbols and seldom mean what they seem at face value.
9:11 am
rubyfoo

just keep them in a private notebook
9:11 am
Kaplan the Magne

I shouldn't blog them, you mean?
9:11 am
rubyfoo

I had a Freudian therapist who made me do that and it helped me remember them
9:11 am
MollyL

*Cues up "Hand Jive" for the second song*
9:11 am
Kaplan the Magne

You got it Molly
9:11 am
Kaplan the Magne

Sick sick sick
9:12 am
rubyfoo

but I tend to think their meanings are spurious and sometimes downright silly -- William Petersen, for God's sake!
9:12 am
MollyL

Dreams are your subconscious speaking to you. It doesn't speak the same language we do.
9:12 am
rubyfoo

no blog, Kap!
9:13 am
Kaplan the Magne

Kidding!
9:13 am
MollyL

Ruby, you had a dream about William Peterson. Yowza!
9:13 am
rubyfoo

bowlegs and all! but I didn't remember it, just that he was in it
9:14 am
rubyfoo

too much \CSI I guess
9:14 am
MollyL

He's bow legged? I never noticed.
9:14 am
rubyfoo

totally
9:15 am
rubyfoo

please tell me if I should make dinner or not!
9:15 am
SeaSpray

No
9:16 am
Aloyisius

soup and sandwich at the most
9:16 am
rubyfoo

maybe if I act like nothing happened, he'll be embarrassed
9:16 am
SeaSpray

Let him make his own
9:16 am
Aloyisius

canned soup.. just lay out the sandwich ingredients, don't assemble
9:16 am
MollyL

I missed the previous chat about dinner Ruby. If he's being an ass, I wouldn't cook for him.
9:16 am
rubyfoo

good advice! thank you
9:16 am
SeaSpray

I agree
9:17 am
MollyL

That is rewarding bad behavior.
9:17 am
crosshair

he should make his own, just point to the kitchen and say sorry,you are busy dying
9:17 am
welki

<-- votes no. don't make dinner. dead people don't cook, they order take-out
9:17 am
rubyfoo

sorry to be such a whiner, but I needed to talk about it
9:17 am
Aloyisius

better yet, crossy
9:17 am
rubyfoo

bye for now, wish me luck!
9:18 am
crosshair

then after he has made his food,you go in and whip something eally nice up for yourself
9:18 am
Aloyisius

something with wonderful aromas
9:18 am
rubyfoo

I know, sweet potato pancakes with sour cream!
9:18 am

9:21 am
Aloyisius

directly to hell, do not pass go, do not collect $200
9:21 am
crosshair

indeed
9:21 am
SeaSpray

my husband would know better than to ask
9:21 am
MollyL

Oh jeeze Ruby. I just read back and saw what he said to you. Fix him dinner? I'd be packing his stuff and throwing it out in the front yard.
9:21 am
crosshair

hell,if one day she made a a drink,i would fall out of my chair in shock
9:22 am
MollyL

And if he didn't take it and go, I would pull and Angela Bassett from "Waiting To Exhale".
9:22 am
SeaSpray

uhm. i dunno. have to look that'un up. you didn't ask the etimology, just the meaning! :P
10:46 am
jesdraggon

THe all-knowing-internets say that it's from the latin "hutesium et clamor" which means horn and shout"
10:46 am
Kaplan the Magne

ahhhhhhhhhhhhh.

I learned a lot about the Roman Senate when I looked that up earlier.

Kap, have you ever tried it? I always get a kick out of how a mean person can't handle a kind and polite answer to a nasty question. It really throws them for a loop
10:48 am
JBV

I looked it up too, Kap - (Hi everyone) and I don't think the Latin is the most likely - there's a French etymology from huer/cry or shout which is more probable

I would like to try it. No one has been randomly mean to me lately. But last year I got into an altercation with a store owner who was nasty to me because my rear bumper touched his front bumper when I was parking.
10:49 am
Kaplan the Magne

I felt really ashamed of myself.
10:49 am
Kaplan the Magne

What I should have done when he insulted me is say "have a really nice day, sir!"
10:49 am
Kaplan the Magne

He was just so mean and it pushed my buttons.
10:50 am
Mom

Kap, that was an accident. He shouldn't have gotten out of li**
10:50 am
Kaplan the Magne

Yetta sometimes goes nutty.
10:50 am
Kaplan the Magne

No- he was an ass.
10:50 am
Kaplan the Magne

But I fell to his level.
10:51 am
Mom

oh, not you, Kap
10:51 am
Kaplan the Magne

are you teasing me, mom?
10:52 am
Mom

no, Kap, I can't see you (just from what I know of you here) doing that
10:52 am
Nef

I know someone who comes on really nasty at times (maybe she's PMS-ing? she's usually really nice!) and it's like she's trying to start a fight. She gets right in my face and yells "why did you do ___?" and I always stop and listen to her and then say "let's look and see why I did do that" ans smile at her. She NEVER expects that every time it happens!
10:52 am
Kaplan the Magne

What- being nice or being an ass?
10:52 am
Mom

being an ass, Kap
10:53 am
Kaplan the Magne

I am a little oversensitive.
10:53 am
Mom

good for you Nef
10:53 am
Kaplan the Magne

:)
10:53 am
Mom

I am a late thinker, I can't come up with a comeback until the next day.
10:53 am
jesdraggon

so you gotta get 'em ready in advance, mom :)
10:54 am
Kaplan the Magne

Oh- it is my chog persona.
10:54 am
Mom

oh I wish Jes
10:54 am
Nef

Kap, don't beat yourself up over that. He's probably always an ass and he just got to you that time. We are all capable of being asses at times (my daughter can push just the right buttons for me!)
10:54 am
Kaplan the Magne

Even Groucho wrote his adlibs in advance.
10:55 am
Kaplan the Magne

Whenever I drive past his store I think I want to throw a rock through the window.
10:55 am
Kaplan the Magne

I should really have sent a Get Well card.
10:55 am
Mom

I was taking a crochet sock class and I was having a really tough time with it and I had a sore finger to boot, that didn't help. Someone looks at me and said "What's your problem" in the nastiest tone. I said I didnt have one. But the next day I thought of a comeback.
10:56 am
Mom

I should have said, I have a sore finger, and put up my middle finger and ask her if she wanted to see it
10:56 am
jesdraggon

heh. the easiest answer to that, is "you" :)
10:56 am
Kaplan the Magne

that gets a good rotf
10:57 am
jesdraggon

though usually when people ask what my problem is, i ask if they want the list chronologically or alphabetically.
10:57 am
Mom

so now whenever I go to a class that she is going to be at, I always have a sore middle finger
10:57 am
Mom

that's good Jes
10:58 am
Mom

I will remember that
10:58 am
Nef

Kap; forgive yourself! HE doesn't remember it! People like that don't have a conscience

Hello all -- "offline" is the extra word in Lickety's list (he shows 115 words whereas the puzzle lists 114). And it's not in enable's miserable "dictionary" anyway.

3:35 pm
uusue2

Sorry, Soodle, I was remembering that I had brought mountains of grading home with me for the weekend and that I really ought to start working on it. Fortunately that only lasted about 5 minutes :-)
3:36 pm
Soodle

LOL
3:36 pm
uusue2

Anyway, my dad is doing really well, and is settling into his newly single life quite cheerfully. He's kind of an old curmudgeon anyway.
3:37 pm
Soodle

How is your step-mom doing, Sue?
3:38 pm
uusue2

Not well, Soodle, last I heard she'd had a small stroke and was back in the hospital. That was several days ago and I haven't had any further updates.
3:38 pm
Soodle

I love the word curmudgeon !!
3:38 pm

3:39 pm
gapeach

Soodle, the golf Masters Tournament is going on now, I live about a quarter mile from the course...traffic is HORRIBLE. People come from all over the world for this every year. The grounds are beautiful....you can probably get a view on TV. When we moved here in '77 I found out they needed someone in the accounting department, and so I got to get onto the grounds to get the the office....of course I didn't know any one here at the time and I didn't get the job...but seeing the grounds was awsome.
3:39 pm
Soodle

By Golly, Sue, What goes around, comes arond!!
3:41 pm
uusue2

well, I feel bad for her, soodle, she really fell apart and I wonder if she might not have had some premonition that something was seriously wrong. But who knows?
3:42 pm
Soodle

WOW, Gapeach. The very same thing happened here around the time of the Ryder Cup. It was crazy.
3:44 pm
Soodle

And Sue..the very same thought crossed my mind. I wondered if she had some premonition.............
3:45 pm
MollyL

Late in life separations perplex me. I'd think after all those years, all things had been worked through. Guess not.
3:47 pm
Soodle

Oh My. Time I wasn't here. A hot date awaits. (OK, maybe not HOt, but, at this stage I am prepared to settle for luke warm..
3:48 pm
MollyL

Soodle struts it out on the town. Have fun.
3:48 pm
uusue2

ooh, have a great time, soodle!
3:49 pm
gapeach

Have a great time, Soodle.
3:51 pm
uusue2

OK, I sent a text to my stepbrother and he responded; she is doing better. Whatever that means. She is also grumpy, which is probably a good sign.
3:52 pm
MollyL

That is why I don't like texting. Not enough information.
3:53 pm
uusue2

Yeah, I don't know why he doesn't want to call, it was a problem from the hospital but shouldn't be from the rehab center (although I don't know where she is, either)
3:54 pm
MollyL

Throughout this whole story you have told us Sue, it has seemed like he has an agenda.
3:55 pm
uusue2

My stepbrother, you mean? That is certainly my dad's suspicion, and he may be right. I am trying not to prejudge in the absence of facts (and he and I have always been cordial to each other) but it does seem odd otherwise.
3:58 pm
MollyL

Yes, I meant the stepbrother. His actions just seem odd and my gut feeling is there is some underlying reason for what he's done that you don't know yet. Just my Irish instinct.
4:00 pm
uusue2

Yours and my dad's (who is also about half Irish) :-) . I just hope he doesn't hurt her in the process.
4:01 pm
uusue2

Meanwhile I finally found the he7 after thinking it must be some variant of that word, since I couldn't see that it was actually in the grid :-/
4:01 pm
MollyL

I knew it. I knew your Dad had Irish in him. His picture reminds me of a leprechaun.
4:02 pm
uusue2

The rest is mostly Danish, I think.
4:06 pm
MollyL

The Irish and the Danes are both very whimsical people. And your Dad looks whimsical.
4:10 pm
uusue2

Well, he can be, although he is also quite stubborn and opinionated (and intelligent). Of course, I have a rather biased view :-)
4:14 pm
MollyL

Okay, my son and I are off to have dinner with his grandparents. Hope everyone has a nice evening.

Tommie, the tile stats showed only one "o" word. You can stop looking when you finish finding the the number to grey the letter tile (s)

I am done with grid so now I'll ai 4/5 you with a story of clues. Felt in5/12 at doing the grid today so I sent for my monkeys.When I sent for them they tried to fl 4/7.I he 4/5 them by their ta4/4s and dragged them on their he 4/5s back to my house. They li 4/5 to me and said that they were sick from food poising, but I didn't believe them. Then they were very de7/44 and refused to help.No4/4 of them would help.I told them the grid was small and would not en6/18 a lot of work since I had already found most of the words,but they still refused to help. I was so mi6/42 at my monkeys I wanted to choke the li 4/7 out of them. But instead I said, "fi 4/7! I will do the rest myself!" They le 4/5 up on their feet and fl 4/7 left me making a beeli 4/4 for the road & they ran down the la 4/4 to be with their friends in the pi 4/5 trees. Those monkeys of mi 4/5 are such a pain!But that's just my opi6/21. I'd like to kick their butts to the mo4/5!Now that I have le 4/4 you a hand with clues, I'm off to go eat dinner at the di4/5r. I hope you have obta4/4ed some words from my story.I'll be back later sometime before the fl 4/8.

5:05 pm

Thank you for asking! are you walking with the poles?
5:06 pm
o-o

I will start again when the snow is gone.
5:07 pm
redturtlehead

so hard for me to believe you still have snow.
5:08 pm
o-o

The snow is good. A slower rate of melting makes flooding less likely.
5:09 pm
redturtlehead

Yes, another big flood like the last time would be terrible.
5:10 pm

Hi everyone, nice to meet you Frank. I am so sorry for your loss

hi, Frank! I returned to Babble after Jesse passed, so I never knew him, but I can tell from the reactions of the other babblers that he was a very special person. You must miss him very much.

Frank, your Jesse made me laugh more times than I can count. Even when he was in the hospital. That's what I meant by "he was such a bright spirit". I'm glad you two found each other.

He was, Molly :) even up until the very end, he always tried his best to remain positive. It only changed in the final few days, when he wasn't really "there" - he never wanted any of us to worry.
6:11 pm
Mom

congrats Cos
6:12 pm

He was a good soul Frank. If someone can convey that "across the electrons" on an internet message board, they must have a lot of light to share.

I can imagine, Good Enough. That was the first thing that struck me when he was gone - our flat was absolutely silent.
6:22 pm
frank cleary

Thank you, Molly - I'm trying my best. You all seem like very lovely people. I'm glad he knew you...

6:50 pm
MollyL

One of the things I admired about NB was his way of dealing with things. I was here one day when someone made a disparaging remark about him. He didn't say anything then. But the next time he was on with that person, he confronted him and told him that what was said, hurt his feelings. That takes some guts.
6:51 pm
Silver Rocket

that's nasty. it sounds as if he was coping with a lot - how horrible of somebody to be mean like that.
6:52 pm
Jillyjill

hmmm, I think I know of whom you speak, but I didn't get to see NB's response...

EvaNadine - frank has posted on the page that was set up for condolences on his partner's passing. perhaps you can get in touch with him that way, if it's possible?
6:55 pm
Kaplan the Magne

I see I am coming into the end of a conversation about Nancy Boy- I had fun telling him about Paul Lynde and other interesting icons- what a nice person NB was...
6:55 pm

Eva, if you are still here, here is the link to the Babbler's Anonymous condolences thread. I imagine Frank will check in there again. http://tinyurl.com/3e48xuy
6:55 pm
EvaNadine

thankyou, silver.
i think i may actually have franks email address, but it would have been nice to actually been able to chat with him real-time, yknow? instead of exchanging emails...
6:56 pm
Silver Rocket

Ah, I understand - yes, of course.
6:57 pm
MollyL

Eva, if you have Frank's email address, perhaps the two of you can hook up in instant messenger. I think he might have a MSN messenger account. If not, maybe the two of you could set some up so you could chat.
6:58 pm
EvaNadine

mayhaps. i havent wanted to invade his space, so i have kinda stayed back a step...
7:00 pm
MollyL

I'm guessing that his posting here, and at Babbler's Anonymous means he's ready to talk. Can't hurt to ask, and say if not now, maybe later. I can tell you from experience that an understanding ear is always appreciate.
7:00 pm
MollyL

appreciated.
7:00 pm
EvaNadine

yes, maybe i will send him a message. :)

I had a hysterectomy too, not my first choice but family history of ovarian cancer and big fibroids made it necessary. Because of the ovarian cancer risk I never went on hormones. It wasn't that bad.

a+mouth part+past tense
11:22 pm
Kaplan the Magne

thanks.
11:22 pm
uusue2

and the ta7 is a scrambled dog appendage plus a latin word meaning foot
11:23 pm
jesdraggon

or just tack a t on front of the word just clued ;)
11:23 pm
uusue2

that too, jes :-)
11:23 pm
uusue2

and the first four letters of the ta7 are the preceding ta4
11:23 pm
Kaplan the Magne

got them both
11:24 pm
Kaplan the Magne

missing a lot of pi's- let's see what I can rustle up.
11:24 pm
Kaplan the Magne

Spoken like an old cow hand.
11:25 pm
jesdraggon

pi+hawaiian goose
11:25 pm
jesdraggon

pi+end of crying veggie; means wing
11:25 pm
Kaplan the Magne

i forget the goose one
11:25 pm
uusue2

and then leave out the penultimate vowel for a pi5 tree
11:26 pm
jesdraggon

take one of the vowels out of the middle for a pi5
11:26 pm
Kaplan the Magne

I'm not concentrating.
11:26 pm
jesdraggon

pi5/12 uses a double letter, means external ear
11:26 pm
uusue2

another pi5 is pi + double consonant + vowel, and the following pi6 adds a consonant to that
11:27 pm
uusue2

the hawaiian goose is two letters, repeated, kap
11:28 pm
jesdraggon

the pi+hawaiin goose sounds like, but is not spelled like, grilled sandwich-pa6 (not in this puzzle, but very yummy)
11:34 pm
Kaplan the Magne

Thank you- I remember the goose now.
11:36 pm
Kaplan the Magne

fish smack.
11:37 pm

11:43 pm
jesdraggon

11:43 pm
Kaplan the Magne

11:44 pm
Kaplan the Magne

11:44 pm
Kaplan the Magne

11:44 pm
stidmama

hey all -- just getting in. what are my chances?
11:44 pm
jesdraggon

a banner from a baseball game
11:45 pm
jesdraggon

and add a vowel to the end of the 5/12 before it
11:45 pm
jesdraggon

hi stiddy! uhm. chances of what, exactly? :D
11:45 pm
uusue2

first one - add a vowel to the preceding pe5. second one - take off the last two vowels and add the opposite of yes, spellled backwards
11:45 pm
Kaplan the Magne

Got them all. need of7.
11:46 pm
stidmama

of getting to halfway... up to 17 now
11:46 pm
jesdraggon

there is no of7. it's a trick
11:46 pm
uusue2

of7 only appears in lickety, kap
11:47 pm
Kaplan the Magne

let's see if I can get the last li5/12, the le5/12 and the last pi512.
11:48 pm
uusue2

last li5/12 is like fats in your blood but change the last consonant
11:49 pm
Kaplan the Magne

thank you
11:49 pm
uusue2

le5/12 is plural greek coins (or elementary particles, but we never pluralize it that way), or add a vowel to the preceding le4/5
11:50 pm
uusue2

last pi5/12 is the tree that gives pi** nuts, grows in the southwest
11:50 pm
uusue2

or remove a repeated vowel from the second pi6/21
11:51 pm
Kaplan the Magne

Fireworks, with a lot of help at the end..
