12:33 am

jillibus

flosey, i"ll never forget running out on the tarmac in what was then Idlewild with my baby son in my arms, crying with joy at seeing my beloved dad after all those years.

12:34 am

jillibus

hi mrp -- hope things are working out for a change

12:34 am

mrpresident

12:34 am

sammysmom

hang in- we are sending good thoughts your way

12:35 am

flosey

ah jilli, we can only imagine

12:35 am

mrpresident

thank you all :)) I love my babble friends! makes a huge world of difference to have positive thoughts.

12:35 am

jillibus

WHAT??? Maddie in hospital? Why?

12:37 am

mrpresident

jilli, it is just the usual... only this time, I have been pushed to the brink cause there is no clear explaination as to why she is so so sick after getting a virus.... FOR OVER 2 WEEKS! This has been going on for about 3 years now.
And the school sent out an officer to check on her on Thursday. I was absolutely livid!!!

12:38 am

mrpresident

She has an immune disorder only when she gets a virus, not a bacteria.

12:38 am

dcseain

have they checked for amoebas?

12:39 am

Picklesny

My brother as sick on and off for a long time and they found a infection in his blood. He had to have IV's but it cleared once they knew what it was

12:39 am

jillibus

a bacterium. Bacteria is the plural. I had to learn that too, when I took bacteriology, lol!

12:39 am

mrpresident

they are doing that dcs, they are doing bloody everything! She has had so much blood drawn....

12:40 am

Picklesny

:(

12:40 am

dcseain

sigh.

12:40 am

mrpresident

well, they can't test for a specific bacterium as there are so many!!! but they have decided that it is related to her stomach

12:40 am

dcseain

so, something changed 3 years ago. hm.

12:41 am

mrpresident

yes, she got Ross River Fever.

12:41 am

jillibus

mrp, nobody can say you and yours lead a dull life.

12:42 am

mrpresident

is a lovely mosquito infection of the blood that likens itself to Glandular Fever

12:42 am

jillibus

<-- goes to google Ross River Fever

12:42 am

mrpresident

jilli, we are extraordinary!!

12:43 am

dcseain

huh. the wikipedia article on Ross River Fever indicates that for some few people, symptoms go on for years.

12:44 am

jillibus

<-- resolves to use lots of mosquito repellent when in Oz

12:44 am

dcseain

and we love y'all in all y''all's extraodanariness , mrp :)

12:45 am

jillibus

We have almost no mosquitos here in paradise

12:46 am

flosey

yes, thanks to the bats and dragonflies

12:47 am

jillibus

no bats or dragonflies up here, flosey -- maybe too dry for the skeeters

12:48 am

jillibus

(flosey lives in a very different part of this island, down in a valley. I'm on a rocky hill)

12:48 am

mrpresident

yep, and she gets sick and doesn't recover well at all

12:49 am

mrpresident

yes jilli, you never leave the house without spraying yourself with 'buzz off'

12:49 am

jillibus

poor Maddie! Is she out of the hospital now?

12:49 am

mrpresident

she should be home today jilli, it is late afternoon saturday here. so would like her home

12:50 am

jillibus

Do they sell "buzz off" at the airport upon arrival, mrp?

12:50 am

mrpresident

well, it is called 'Off'... and yes, they sell repellants at airport

12:51 am

jillibus

NBT btw

12:51 am

mrpresident

on ya jilli!

12:51 am

mrpresident

dcs, took your advice... change of meds has occurred and change of outpatient structure.

12:52 am

jillibus

Oh, tyvm -- will get some "Off" (with Deet, I hope) asap there

12:52 am

dcseain

oh, good, may it be for the best, mrp. Trust your instincts about changes due to meds.

12:52 am

mrpresident

i am allergic to mosquitoes and have to wear the stuff all the time between Sept and May

12:53 am

mrpresident

thank you dcs... you made it all better (((hugs)))

12:54 am

mrpresident

jilli, not to be confused with 'Pi$$ Off' ... for animal urine odours! LOL!!

12:54 am

jillibus

oh, thanks, mrp, for clarifying that, lol!

12:55 am

mrpresident

I am an instictive person... very much so. If it doesn't 'feel right', I will investigate all avenues

12:55 am

mrpresident

LOL jilli!!

12:55 am

mrpresident

If you see it in my cupboards, just don't spray it on yourself!! LOL!! I swear we have that here!

12:55 am

jillibus

("Off" is sold here too -- just not necessary in these here parts, like)

12:56 am

anike

My q's are qu 4, 6, 5, 5, 4, 4, 5 - what am I missing?

12:56 am

12:56 am

flosey

fireworks, and off to bed, another busy day tomorrow

12:56 am

mrpresident

bye flosey! lovely to see you hun :)

12:56 am

jillibus

We have something like Piss Off here too, to keep the deer from eating out gardens. It doesn't owrk. Only fences do.

12:57 am

mrpresident

we can't keep anything out here, unless they are electric fences!

12:57 am

jillibus

Good grief, flosey! Well done!

12:57 am

flosey

a joint effort jilli, but thanks

12:58 am

jillibus

12:58 am

jillibus

12:59 am

1:10 am

jillibus

I don't know from Hebrew teachers, awreddy.

1:11 am

mrpresident

1:11 am

dcseain

ty fro da7

1:12 am

dcseain

hi/bye and congrats, anike

1:13 am

jillibus

Danes don't eat nearly as much as you might think -- about as much as a German Shepherd -- and if you really would like one, I hope to meet a good Dane person in Sydney -- someone who actually bought my book!

1:13 am

ursh

wont be a problem mrp - the dane will catch the pigs and meat for all

1:13 am

mrpresident

ah!! will have to ask around the Dane community

1:14 am

mrpresident

LOL ursh! too right!

1:14 am

jillibus

Tey have to have a balanced diet -- not too much meat without the right amount of calcium and phosphorus

1:14 am

mrpresident

so a Great Dane will actually 'bring home the bacon' for us?? They will hunt and kill and return to the homestead?

1:15 am

jillibus

well, that wild boar thing was a long time ago. Now they'd probably kiss them to death.

1:16 am

gapeach

DOH1 ty!

7:42 am

Aloyisius

as many times as I remind myself to look for plurals.. (-:

7:44 am

72 Temple Owl

i have a questio: if you get a gift receipt for a present, can the person get cash back?

7:45 am

MollyL

Depends on the card. But most of them require you to spend the whole thing via the card. That way they get extra money if you only have $1.50 left on the card and you pay the rest in cash.

7:45 am

Aloyisius

you or the recipient? The recipient usually gets an exchange..

7:47 am

72 Temple Owl

i always wonder if i get a gift receipt, if the folks get credit for what i paid or what the item is selling for at the time i purchased it. i thought at sears they tried to give credit at the after christmas sale price, not what i bought it for. yes i mean the recipient.

7:47 am

Aloyisius

good question, TO

7:48 am

72 Temple Owl

ty all for your help

7:52 am

lbdawger

the recipient should be able to get cash back IF the receipt and the exchange are done within 30 days or what ever time limit the store has.

7:53 am

MollyL

Sorry, I thought we were talking gift cards. *gets more coffee*

7:53 am

lbdawger

the amount should be for what YOU paid for the gift. the only time it wouldn't would be without a receipt and it would be an exchange for current or lesser value of the item.

7:54 am

Aloyisius

well, that makes sense, lbd.. without a receipt, you have to take the "going" price

7:55 am

lbdawger

and most likely, you will not get the taxes paid on the item since that is state/county regulated and not thru the store.

7:55 am

Trifioso

WOW, I rule at babble! I have only been playing for about ten seconds today, and I have the whole left column greyed! Go ME!

Aloysius, are you still teaching?

8:06 am

Aloyisius

no, have been retired for a while, Trif

8:06 am

Trifioso

oh, okay. I love your profile story!

8:07 am

Aloyisius

had to quit Babbling when I taught

8:07 am

Aloyisius

ty, Trif..

8:07 am

Trifioso

well, that is reason enough to retire right there!

8:08 am

Aloyisius

lol.. true

8:09 am

Aloyisius

aargh, missed two plurals already.. ah well, glad for a list

8:09 am

Aloyisius

shows me how blind I am

8:09 am

Trifioso

I heard an interesting thing the other day, on NPR or somewhere, I forget, that said that college grads now won't consider applying for jobs where using social media during work hours is not permitted. I was rather put off by that. In this economy, being picky over jobs seems ill advised, at best

8:10 am

periwinkle

hello all, very tired,another sleepless night

8:10 am

Trifioso

sorry to hear that peri, but glad you found your way to babble

8:10 am

Aloyisius

h'mm, doesn't seem that the decision would be a choice.. hi peri, sorry for your insomnia, hate it when that happens

8:10 am

periwinkle

found 72 words when I could not sleep. need help with the 15 left pls

8:10 am

godthaab

This is the attitude of the latest generation. Some won't take jobs where there isn't a gym, or a latte machine...

8:11 am

periwinkle

help with w words needed

8:11 am

periwinkle

good grief re the younger generation and work

8:11 am

Trifioso

I agree godthaab, and it makes me worry....I have three teens....need to make sure they dont' have

8:11 am

periwinkle

I will feel better after a shower

8:11 am

Trifioso

THAT attitude!

8:11 am

periwinkle

missing one of the q words

8:12 am

godthaab

The right of entitlement. I wonder where it comes from...

8:12 am

crosshair

well triff,if this batch of silver spoon graduates set standards like that,there will just be many cases where they remain on the unemployment line

8:12 am

crosshair

good morning everyone

8:12 am

Aloyisius

howdy crossy

8:12 am

Trifioso

good morning crossy! I was hoping to see you this morning....

8:12 am

welki

'morning, babblers

8:12 am

godthaab

If you don't have the gym, they will go work for someone who does.

8:12 am

Trifioso

I fear it comes from above, godthaab, which is why I am careful with the choices that I make as a parent

8:12 am

crosshair

why ty trif,it is nice to see you as well:)))

8:13 am

Trifioso

godthaab, I think what happens is they don't work anywhere, as they are STARTLED and baffled to discover the place with the gym just might be able to live without them, and then they sit around drinking $9 coffees and whining about how no one appreciates them

8:14 am

crosshair

google the clip called three and a half days trif

8:15 am

Trifioso

thanks, I will!

8:15 am

godthaab

You are absolutely right, although I think the education system is part of the problem. I HIGHLY recommend "All Must Have Prizes" by Melanie Philips. If anyone out there does not know about her, they should.

8:15 am

godthaab

Yes!

8:18 am

Trifioso

hmmm, crossy, I have seen that video, and whilst I agree with a very few of the points, mostly I disagree. most of the protesting at occupy movements is about VERY unfair lending and banking practices, NOT the unavailability of six figure jobs

8:19 am

crosshair

mm perhaps,heck i carry a card that charges 20% like everyone else

8:19 am

Trifioso

however, I still adore you however

8:19 am

crosshair

and you are still my favorite trif;)

8:19 am

Trifioso

tho I don't know why I felt it necessary to say "however" twice....

8:20 am

crosshair

no problem..no grammar nazi,s here

8:20 am

Trifioso

...and every movement has it's clueless element. I once saw a woman marching around outside of a Jordan Marsh store holding up a "fur is murder" sign, whilst wearing a full length black leather coat. FAIL

8:20 am

crosshair

and you can eat the salad with the seafood fork and visa vera:)

8:21 am

crosshair

lol,fail indeed

8:21 am

hey all.. first two columns gray!LOL

Aloyisius

multiply the length by the wi5 to get the area.. clue for peri.. am done and need to scoot.. hagd all! poof

8:22 am

herinfernallady

My 2 cents. Most employers hirer just out of school graduates that have the intellect of a postage stamp over good grads

Scrabbler

Good day kids.

8:26 am

herinfernallady

And another thing that bothers me is people saying people lost their homes from over extending mortgages that are out of the price line for them when in fact people with $100k loans and return soldiers are losing their homes which isn't right

8:26 am

Trifioso

oh, I have good news to share!

Hi Scrabble miss seeing you. Share trifs

Trifioso

many of you know that tertiares' best friend, Nikki, was diagnosed with cancer, and had surgery recently. It looks like all went very well, and all of her latest bone, lung, stomach, and marrow scans can back clean and clear. It is an absolute answer to prayer!

8:28 am

herinfernallady

Yah Trifs

Woohoo! What a relief! What type of cancer?

8:30 am

crosshair

and our hospital for sick children is now hard at work on a non-toxic chemo blend!

8:30 am

Trifioso

thanks crossy. Children's Hospital in Boston is either the happiest or the scariest place I have ever been. I swear, you go in there stressing over your child (or her best friend) and you leave thanking GOD you have yours, and not anyone else's

8:30 am

herinfernallady

I would like to ask the Fates where they get off making kids sick

8:30 am

Scrabbler

CHB is one of the best kids' hospitals in the world.

8:31 am

Trifioso

8:32 am

Trifioso

yes, nikki's dad goes to our church, and he said often what a huge blessing it was that we live so near CHB, and how the parking lot was full of cars from all over, but he and his wife had the luxury of being able to take turns going home to be with their other kdis

8:54 am

crosshair

mmmm,i like mine covered in batter and lightly fried and then a squeeze of lemon and fresh ground peppercorns

I think my favorite is sauteed in olive oil and a little garlic

8:55 am

crosshair

mmmm

8:55 am

Scrabbler

I'll pass.

8:55 am

crosshair

reminds me,there are report now of phony extra virgin olive oils out there

8:56 am

Scrabbler

I visited an olive oil shop yesterday. I was stunned at the extensive variety of flavored oils and vinegars!

8:56 am

crosshair

so by a popular name and look for a "picked on" date or pressed on date on the bottle.those are usually genuine

8:56 am

Trifioso

oh...F. It's gonna be one of "those" days with tertiare....she has been whinging full stop since her feet hit the floor. I will need extra patience today....and supernanny's phone number!

8:57 am

Scrabbler

Stay calm and in control. don't get sucked into her drama.

8:57 am

poor trif:((

8:57 am

i tend to stick with good itallian olive oils

8:58 am

Scrabbler

Adolescent girls are very challenging!

8:59 am

crosshair

my boy is 18 now,he just sleeps and grunts at people.unless of coure he needs money or something else then he is very verbose

8:59 am

Trifioso

I don't want to say too much, but she was just diagnosed with a major anxiety issue, and it is proving very hard to deal with. Mostly because she knows, and has been milking it like a cow at Hendries dairy

9:00 am

Scrabbler

Deep breathing + relaxation are being sent to Tertiare.

9:00 am

Trifioso

she is gonna blow right through my last nerve today, I can tell.

9:00 am

crosshair

best way to defuse that is show her how many people deal with the same thing and are well adjusted and taking meds when they should.so that she is not using it as a lever or a barganing tool all the time

9:00 am

Trifioso

send it with an atavan chaser, please scrabbler

9:00 am

Scrabbler

Stay detached, Trif.

9:01 am

crosshair

and think "calm blue ocean" lol

9:01 am

Trifioso

well, she just ran upstairs screaming and crying, for the fifth time this morning, so there is an eye in the hurricane for now.

9:01 am

Scrabbler

She needs to learn that in spite of her worries that she is still responsible for her words and behaviors.

9:02 am

Trifioso

she needs to go live with her dad....oh, did I just type that out loud?

9:02 am

Scrabbler

Would that truly help, Trif?

9:02 am

Trifioso

please, forgive me....if you were here in the room, believe me, you would understand. I love my girl. I do. But she is EXHAUSTING

9:03 am

Trifioso

No, of course not scrabbler, but given that they dont' even go see him for weekends, it would give me a BREAK

9:03 am

crosshair

my son is adhd and odd and has been for many years and he is like a big antennae,sucking in all the vibes around him,if things are calm,then he is calm,otherwise he will suck up any tesnion or hyper activity and multiply it tenfold

9:03 am

Scrabbler

I see it in my practice everyday, Trif. Be calm, be detached. A counselor will teach her to master her anxiety and take charge.

9:04 am

Scrabbler

The kids have dropped contact with Dad, Trif?

9:04 am

Scrabbler

The adolescent brain is frightening.

9:04 am

Judi

Good morning, all. Time to plug in the ear buds, Trif, and listen to the (loud) music while you watch her lips move.

9:04 am

Scrabbler

Hi Judi.

9:05 am

crosshair

all good stuff scrabby.we are fortunate to have you as a babble friend:)))

9:05 am

Trifioso

they don't go for overnights anymore, they did go to his house for about five hours on Thanksgiving, and they speak to him via phone or text a few times a week. Right now Tertiare is battling him to not have to go there at noon on Christmas Day, but at the more preferred three o clock, so they can go to dinner at my moms', which they have done every year of their lives

9:06 am

m9f9l

My children always do much better if they get good positive touching, true connection and a chance to talk.

9:06 am

Trifioso

sorry, shouldn't have said just Tertiare on the Christmas one...NONE of the kids want to go at noon.

9:06 am

Scrabbler

Molly, Christmas dinner at my mom's starts around 1....sorry, totally sucked into that website scrabbler posted

9:11 am

m9f9l

Trif, I'm so happy to see that you said you think that what needs to change is you. I'm so tired of parents that think that everything is the kid's fault!!

9:11 am

Trifioso

Oh, trust me, m9, I KNOW it's me!!!

9:11 am

MollyL

Well then Dad should make other plans. Kids should get to spend Christmas the way they want to.

9:11 am

Scrabbler

It's really useful, Trif, as it tells parents exactly what to do and say. I recommend to all parents.

9:12 am

Trifioso

I will email you his number molly.....ha ha ha

9:12 am

Trifioso

thank you scrabbler!

9:12 am

m9f9l

oh ugh. the first sentence I read at that empoweringparents site really got my hackles up!!

9:12 am

MollyL

I'm sorry he's still being a big baby about things Trif.

9:12 am

Scrabbler

What is it?

9:14 am

Scrabbler

Is it the walking away from fighting with your kid? No one can speak rationally when full of anger. The kid must settle down, then the talk can happen.

9:14 am

aebmusica

clue for qu7, please

9:15 am

m9f9l

no it was the "Just walk away when your child is trying to pull you into a fight".. it was the word "trying"

9:15 am

m9f9l

Children don't WANT to fight.

9:16 am

Scrabbler

They want attention, power and control.

9:16 am

Scrabbler

qu6= qu + Eagle's nest = ***i*

9:16 am

I think I'd agree with control. We all want agency. But I don't agree with power.

my daughter is also very intense when upset. A psych diagnosis would be meaningless and unecessary, since the key is changing family styles of reacting.

Parenting is damn difficult and there is SO much to learn in order to get your child prepared for the world.

9:25 am

and it is harder than it used to be scrabby,cause the govt and the school also want to parent your child

9:39 am

helensgirlkid

It's a strange word. I was told last night in several clues that it's Hebrew for teacher (though not any of the words you get if you search Hebrew and teacher) - and that didn't help at all. You, crossy, may not be as familiar with the Daugters of the ... as Americans are likely to be.

9:39 am

m9f9l

I had kept trying that without the last two letters though in my monkeying!

9:40 am

I owe the Daughters of the . . . part of the clue to someone from last night - way too late to remember who it was!

SeaSpray

Thank you Molly, it's been very hard as my husband and son were so close to him even though he was 88.

4:14 pm

MollyL

I hope they can find some peace, Sea. Hard to deal with the loss of a loved one.

4:22 pm

Soodle

Sea, I'm sorry for your loss. Its a difficult time for all. (((Hugs)))

4:23 pm

MollyL

Hi Soodle. How's life on the auld sod?

4:25 pm

Soodle

Hey Molly. Sure, 'tis grand here! (Apart from our currency following our economy down the toilet!) But the weather is lovely, and Christmas is coming!

4:25 pm

MollyL

Boy-o persuaded me to get some decorations out today. I met him half way. It's a wee bit early for me.

4:26 pm

lil*monkey

That last QU word is extremely WACK

4:28 pm

Kaplan the Magne

and what is it (I have 6 of them)

4:28 pm

Soodle

I'm holding fire on the decorations for another week or two.... but still getting into the Christmas spirit.

4:29 pm

lil*monkey

qu + ma***mallow fluff

4:29 pm

Soodle

Hi Lil & Kap :-)

4:29 pm

lil*monkey

Hi Soodle bumless :)

4:29 pm

wht

Kaplan,qu5/18 q + anagram of hurry

4:30 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I don't have a 5/18, I have 2 16s

4:30 pm

Soodle

Soodle and her bum has taken up WAY too much time on the chog!!! Hey Wht :-)

4:30 pm

lil*monkey

qu5/18 is the very last QU

4:31 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I don't think so unless that's the one I', missing

4:31 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I have the one that says "give up" and thast is my last one on the list

4:31 pm

lil*monkey

so there is one MORE, I'm trying to tell you Kap

4:32 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Name that proper dingbat.

4:32 pm

lil*monkey

Kaplan + dingbat

4:32 pm

MollyL

Edith!!

4:32 pm

lil*monkey

Edith

4:32 pm

Kaplan the Magne

But it's the one I don't have (going in circles)-

4:32 pm

lil*monkey

never mind Kap

4:33 pm

lil*monkey

if you want the clue, it's at 4:29

4:33 pm

MollyL

And a fine clue it was Lil : )

4:33 pm

lil*monkey

thank u moll, but why bother

4:33 pm

Kaplan the Magne

this is going in circles, because I tell you I HAVE NO 5/18!!!!!!!!!!

4:33 pm

Soodle

That did it for me, Lil. Thank you :-)

4:33 pm

REG

How can it be an anagram of hurry when those letters are not on the board?

4:34 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Are you being serious?

4:34 pm

MollyL

And Lil's clue at 4:29 is for the 5/18

4:34 pm

wht

It is an anagram of a word that means hurry.

4:34 pm

Kaplan the Magne

oh, I thought you said "plus"

4:35 pm

Soodle

Its an odd one Kap. Its 'qu', but doesnt have a vowel following the u..... (probably muddying the waters now...)

4:36 pm

wht

Lil's clue was clearly better than mine, because now my clue has confused the entire chog.

4:36 pm

Kaplan the Magne

what kind of a word is THAT?

4:37 pm

Kaplan the Magne

sorry for being dense.

4:37 pm

jesdraggon

hioh

4:37 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Do not take offense

4:37 pm

Kaplan the Magne

at those who are dense.

4:38 pm

wht

That word is an Enable special, Kap.

4:39 pm

wht

clue for the da7 please.

4:39 pm

Kaplan the Magne

There may be trouble ahead.

4:39 pm

Kaplan the Magne

But while there's moonlight and music and love and romance

4:39 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Let's ...

4:39 pm

Kaplan the Magne

face the music and dance.

4:40 pm

wht

Was that a clue, Kap, or are you just singing as you play?

4:40 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Da7 is a nice little Hebrew word that our friends at Enable thing is English.

4:40 pm

jesdraggon

4:41 pm

Soodle

I'm doodling up my top hat, brushing off white tie, dancing in my tails....

4:41 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Here's a clue- the villain in Star Wars said by a drunk, ending with author Eda Le Sh** of crossword puzzle fame

4:41 pm

wht

ty Kap. Fireworks for me.

4:42 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I have 8 left.

4:42 pm

Soodle

I'm stepping out my dear to breathe an atmosphere that simply reeks with class..........And I trust that you'll excuse my dust when I step on the gas.

4:42 pm

jesdraggon

yay wht!

4:42 pm

wht

OK It is time for me to go rustle up some supper. Happy Babbling all.

4:43 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Oh I'll be there-

4:43 pm

Soodle

(temporarily ceasing dancing to congratulate Wht....)

4:43 pm

Kaplan the Magne

If you're blue and you don't know where to go to why don't you go...

4:43 pm

Kaplan the Magne

where Harlem sits....

4:44 pm

Soodle

Where Harlem sits.........................Putting on the ..

4:44 pm

Kaplan the Magne

RITZ!!! That's where each and every Lulubelle goes...

4:44 pm

Soodle

Kap, I feel a duet coming on.........

4:44 pm

Kaplan the Magne

every Thursday evening with her swell beaus...

4:44 pm

Kaplan the Magne

rubbin' elbows!

4:45 pm

Kaplan the Magne

No one ever wrote lyrics that great again till Eminem!

4:46 pm

MollyL

<---Does NOT consider Eminem a great lyricist

4:46 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Come let's mix where Rockefellers walk with sticks and their umbrellas...

4:46 pm

Soodle

knd8&feature=fvst

4:47 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Molly, I have to open you up to Eminems's lyrics, and even Lady Gaga. I know you can't stand them, but ...

4:48 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Molly just threw a brick at me.

4:48 pm

Kaplan the Magne

OWWWW>

4:48 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I loved A Very Gaga thanksgiving.

4:48 pm

Kaplan the Magne

There. I said it and I'm glad.

4:49 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Duet with Tony Bennett was great,

4:49 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I get too hungry for dinner at 8.

4:50 pm

MollyL

I'm very much "to each their own" when it comes to music Kap. The vehicle itself is a powerful thing. Who is driving it is a matter of personal taste.

4:50 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I like the theater but never come late. I never bother with people I hate. That's why...

4:50 pm

Soodle

And an all time personal favourite...http://tinyurl.com/chwhnkn

4:50 pm

Kaplan the Magne

the Lady is a Tramp.

4:51 pm

jesdraggon

yay! ella! :)

4:51 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Link didn't work for me. but if it's Ella, I'm down with that.

4:51 pm

jesdraggon

i didn't look at the link, just the lyrics for lady is a tramp :)

4:51 pm

MollyL

Oh Kap, Ella is the queen of The Lady Is A Tramp.

4:52 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I think Lena Horne is.

4:52 pm

Soodle

Nope, it was supposed to be Deano singing Thats Amore... A Karoke fail for me, back in the day..

4:52 pm

MollyL

Lena Horne is the queen of Stormy Weather.

4:53 pm

MollyL

<---Would pay a small fortune to see Soodle singing That's Amore at Karaoke Night

4:53 pm

Kaplan the Magne

AND the Lady is a Tramp. And "Can't Help Lovin Dat Man of Mine"...

4:53 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Lena Horne is the QUEEN.

4:55 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Meantime I still got 8 left and am not gonna make it.

4:56 pm

Soodle

One time, on holiday, with more than one cocktail on board, I took over the mike and did Thats Amore. It was quite hideous. Hubby videoed it, and the following morning, I couldn't work out how to erase the horror of it all, so I set the video to 'record' and aimed it at the static kettle and taped over the evidence.

4:56 pm

jesdraggon

not gonna make it? why not?

4:56 pm

jesdraggon

(23 left here)

4:57 pm

MollyL

Just the idea of That's Amore sung with an Irish accent sets me to giggles.

4:57 pm

Kaplan the Magne

because I'm too busy singing and discussing matters of taste.

4:58 pm

jesdraggon

heh

4:58 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Danny Boy with an Italian accent?

4:59 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Come on and hear, come on and hear...

4:59 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Alexander's Ragtime Band.

4:59 pm

Soodle

Factor in a less than sober Irish accent, Molls, and you are getting into the zone........

5:00 pm

Kaplan the Magne

They can play a bugle call like you never heard before

5:00 pm

MollyL

I get the giggle fits listening to The Three Tenors sing Jingle Bells. Soodle, it's a cryin' shame that video does not still exist.

5:00 pm

Kaplan the Magne

so natural that you want to go to war-

5:00 pm

Kaplan the Magne

that is the bestest band what am, Honey Lamb.

5:00 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Odd lyric, but it did survive a few decades.

5:01 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Whereas "Indian Love Call" seems rather dated.

5:01 pm

Soodle

Oh, Molly... there are worse horrors inflicted on our ears...... (shuddering)

5:01 pm

jesdraggon

da7 clue please?

5:02 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Why do old love songs sound so corny, and all the jazz still is great?

5:02 pm

Soodle

<Loves Indian Love Call..

5:02 pm

Kaplan the Magne

da7- villain of Star Wars said by a drunk (first name,) + indefinite article

5:02 pm

MollyL

da7...da*ts is a game you play in a pub + **hhh, be quiet+ **ts are picnic pests

5:03 pm

Soodle

(Wearing bitter and twisted hat).. all love songs are corny!

5:03 pm

Kaplan the Magne

When I'm calling You-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-oooo-oooo

5:03 pm

jesdraggon

thanks :)

5:04 pm

MollyL

Oh I agree, all love songs are corny. You are just too nuts and in love to realize that when you are swooning over them.

5:04 pm

Soodle

Thank you Molls :-)

5:04 pm

Kaplan the Magne

But the style of singing is so cool- when Giner Rogers rolls her eyes and does that thing with her shoulders...

5:04 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Ruth Etting.

5:04 pm

Kaplan the Magne

ahhhh.

5:05 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I think it's dinner time. Bailing. see ya.

5:05 pm

MollyL

All I can think of when I hear "Indian Love Call" is Lucy Ricardo.

5:05 pm

Soodle

Adios Kap, ya mad yoke, ya!

5:06 pm

jesdraggon

5:07 pm

Soodle

'Ya mad yoke ya' is an affectionate term round here, FYI!

*Wonders if Amelu is speaking in tongues*

6:23 pm

ChloeKat

idk

6:23 pm

amelu0218

typing in monkey-speak, sorry, lol.

6:24 pm

Picklesny

i checked but erdi is not in puzzle

6:24 pm

ChloeKat

any one got a seven letter word yet

6:24 pm

jesdraggon

fe7/40=plural of one who is scared

6:25 pm

Minveryork

That fe 7/40 word is plural of that fe 6/27 word ChloeKat.

6:26 pm

ChloeKat

i dont understand this at all

6:27 pm

jesdraggon

which part are you not understanding, chloe?

6:27 pm

MollyL

If you are afraid, you feel fe4. If you feel fe4 you are an fe6. Those who are afraid are fe7.

6:27 pm

Minveryork

The fe4/7 word is to be afraid of something. fe 6/27 word is one who is scared and an fe7/40 word is people who are afraid Chloekat. The fe6 and fe7 word extend fe 4/7 word

6:28 pm

ChloeKat

i know it starts with fear just dont know the rest what is the first letter after the r

6:29 pm

Minveryork

fe 6/27 word is fe 4/7 word plus *mergency *oom and then plural the fe 6/27 word to get the fe 7/40 word ChloeKat.

6:29 pm

jesdraggon

try not to use words from the grid in chat, chloe

6:30 pm

ChloeKat

k idnk

6:30 pm

ChloeKat

just give me the letter after the r plzzz

6:31 pm

jesdraggon

clues work various ways, usually not by just spelling things out though. fe6 just adds 2 letters to the end of fe4, to make the word mean "one who is afraid"

6:31 pm

Minveryork

I basically spelled it out for U in my clue at 6:29 ChloeKat.

6:32 pm

jesdraggon

If you look at min's clue from a minute ago, you just need to substitute letters for the astrixes.

6:33 pm

SeaSpray

6:42 pm

rururocks

6:43 pm

rururocks

and make it more so

6:43 pm

jesdraggon

dictionary.com says da7 is hebrew for a teacher in synagogue

6:44 pm

rururocks

it's indian too

6:44 pm

MollyL

You add two letters to a word to make it "more so". If something is hard you add two letters to hard to make it more hard.

6:44 pm

rururocks

to give lessons or teaching

Minveryork

I had the fr4/7dom of finishing grid. Now here is a story for you to re 5/16 to if you need clues. I'm so aw 4/9 by those who are able to babble listless. I'd never da4/5 to attempt that feat. I fe 4/7 I would never finish the grid if I tried that. On ra 4/4 occasions, I can finish without clues from chog, but I always use a list. I am more tired th 4/5 I thought I was. I am starting to fa4/8. I'm going to qu4/7 cluing for now. I did not ed4/5 my story.There might be some mistakes. Now I'm going to get off my re 4/4 and get some Nilla Wa6/39 to snack on. Then I am going to go cr4/9l into bed wi 4/9 my dog and re 4/5 a book and then watch My Name is Ea 4/4. I will be back in Babbleland again tomorrow when I am wi4/9 awake.

6:51 pm

6:54 pm

ChloeKat

7:18 pm

rururocks

or at least eat them

7:18 pm

MollyL

Rebooting is not opening a new window. It's re-starting your computer. Lickety's list is current.

9:26 pm

gwenski

Yep. Marysville

9:26 pm

stidmama

woo-hoo!

9:27 pm

stidmama

I ask, because right now it's cooler than normal, and drier than normal. So you'll want to have warm clothes and a rain jacket just in case the weather gets damp again.

9:27 pm

stidmama

oh, it's pretty up near marysville!

9:27 pm

gwenski

I haven't decided if I'm going to just bring layers or my winter coat.

9:28 pm

stidmama

I suggest layers, actually -- that way you can regulate your temp easier.

9:29 pm

stidmama

Sometimes when it's damp it feels colder than it really is.

9:30 pm

gwenski

Windbreaker jacket, with a fleece or sweatshirt underneath is pretty comfortable.

9:30 pm

stidmama

yes, that is a good combo. One of my favorites!

9:32 pm
