Oh, well just check my updates on profile each time you're on here. I keep them up... usually.

1:21 am

negativeneil

My profile should probably come with a language warning though, lol.

1:21 am

scouser

I have had the t4 to be competitive about it

1:22 am

negativeneil

I haven't had t4 for much lately.

1:22 am

westford

big NYE plans?

1:22 am

negativeneil

No bigger than most people's I guess.

1:23 am

westford

sure

1:23 am

westford

single guy living in LA

1:23 am

negativeneil

Not single.

1:23 am

negativeneil

Haven't been for some time.

1:23 am

westford

do tell

1:24 am

negativeneil

I think I just did? ;)

1:24 am

westford

no

1:24 am

westford

am I that much out of the loop?

1:24 am

negativeneil

Uhhh, yes.

1:25 am

scouser

I get confused about w4 day it is on Babble. Did you hear about Samoa and Tokelau who have just skipped a day in their calendar?

1:26 am

westford

that's too cool..I wonder if they save the days up and have a year when no one else does

1:27 am

scouser

I like the i4 of them actually uprooting and sailing in the direction t4 achieves it? (cant get my h4 around whether it is east or west)

1:27 am

westford

west

1:27 am

negativeneil

Well you know... not being in touch in a while might put you there, I guess. Oh, speaking of calendars... know how everyone's talking about the Mayan calendar ending this time next year?

1:28 am

scouser

yes well they ran out of artistic space in which to carve it?

1:28 am

negativeneil

Well my dad posted this tweet about that:
"The Gregorian calendar ends tomorrow. I can't believe this isn't freaking people out"... he has a point, wouldn't you say? Haha.

1:28 am

westford

what's the skinny on that neil

1:29 am

westford

ooh that's good..your dad is very good

1:29 am

scouser

ditto for the Gregorian - parchment only comes in animal sizes

1:29 am

westford

I was going to say amazing but I hear it's over used

1:34 am

negativeneil

Yeah, he's not bad I guess. ;)

1:35 am

negativeneil

Great influence and role model... a few days ago when he was down at his local watering hole, sitting on his barstool, writing and tweeting some of his poetry, I was razzing him pretty badly about it. So he told me, literally: "fuck you... get a JOB." Nice huh? And people wonder why my writing/blogging tends to be peppered with expletives? Haha, look who raised me? :P

1:36 am

westford

great sense of humor

1:36 am

negativeneil

Yeah... never any dull moments.

1:38 am

westford

have you two always been close?

1:39 am

negativeneil

Well yeah... we all are/have always been.

1:39 am

westford

that's nice

KatieMcG

Oh lovely sue, I do like a good wedding

3:03 am

uusue2

3:03 am

KatieMcG

oh no.....have you seen someone?

3:04 am

hurshy

3:04 am

hurshy

i was on such a low dose it is hard to believe i would have withdrawal

3:05 am

hurshy

it's just unpleasant - bad dreams and stuff - doesn't seem to be actually dangerous

3:05 am

Buttonman

can anyone clue the 8 please?

3:05 am

KatieMcG

but as you say very upleasant

3:06 am

KatieMcG

sorry button only have one of the 7s so far

3:06 am

KatieMcG

I'm assuming the cat is fine?

3:06 am

hurshy

yes

3:06 am

hurshy

it sounds funny out loud. or out... write.

3:07 am

KatieMcG

no not at all, when things are that real in dreams they are very frightening.

3:07 am

Buttonman

I have a wh 7 and a ti 7...what are the other 7's

3:07 am

hurshy

i think it made me tense all up leading to increased pain in the throat.

3:07 am

KatieMcG

I have the wh one sorry

3:08 am

hurshy

times like this when it's 4 in the morning here i am so glad to be a babbler and find people online

3:08 am

KatieMcG

oh I'm sorry hurshy - is it the middle of the night with you as well

3:08 am

Buttonman

Katie, the wi one has to do with complaining

3:08 am

hurshy

yeah i'm not really brit just wannabe

3:09 am

KatieMcG

Let's hope we can distract you a little to chase the dreams away :)

3:09 am

KatieMcG

oh there is an ri one as well button

3:10 am

Buttonman

3:12 am

hurshy

3:14 am

hurshy

i need scrabbler.

3:15 am

KatieMcG

is there a help line you can phone hurshy? We have a line set up we can ask this sort of question to

3:15 am

hurshy

3:18 am

hurshy

8 is tr

3:19 am

hurshy

minus one vowel for tr7

3:20 am

uusue2

ha, got the 8!

3:20 am

hurshy

at least my babble ability appears unaffected

3:20 am

uusue2

nbs (with a zillion blank tiles)

3:29 am

hurshy

oh and my grandmother had a small stroke on thursday. such a wi4 over here that i'm instead obsessed with my own symptoms.

3:32 am

hurshy

5 words to go, two are 7s.

3:32 am

hurshy

oh got one

3:34 am

hurshy

got a 4 - 2 fives and a 7 remain, the greatest of these is the 7 (obviously).

3:34 am

jan

Which sevens do you have? I have six of them

3:35 am

hurshy

ma, ra, ri, ti, tr, wh

3:35 am

hurshy

last one is either A or D

3:35 am

jan

ai, ra, ri, ti, tr, and wh

3:35 am

hurshy

a!

3:35 am

jan

So it's the ai. You'll laugh when you get it

3:36 am

hurshy

i can't laugh, that would hurt.

3:36 am

hurshy

ok got it laughing inside

3:36 am

jan

Then try a LOL. Ironically, it's almost never out loud.

3:36 am

hurshy

tis true tis true

3:36 am

hurshy

D5 remains

3:37 am

jan

Hmmm is the ma a gerund too?

3:37 am

hurshy

no

3:37 am

hurshy

but it's not weird

3:37 am

hurshy

ooh i'm done

3:38 am

jan

Yay!! (I still have nine to go...)

3:38 am

hurshy

if you watched it's a wonderful life for christmas you'll have seen the ma7 recently

3:39 am

dizgrannie

3 and 1/2 hrs to go down under....Happy new year!!!

3:41 am

jan

Got it, hurshy. Though I started looking for evil banker first ;-)

3:41 am

hurshy

lol

3:42 am

uusue2

ok, wedding photos are up on Facebook!

3:45 am

uusue2

nbt

3:45 am

jan

I know this isn't an official Babble stat, but this grid has got to have the highest percentage of gerunds ever.

3:46 am

uusue2

babble could be like baseball (just found a baseball word) with every possible kind of stat...

3:46 am

hurshy

i wish there were a way to have an alarm go off here at my house if scrabbler turns up

3:46 am

jan

And then we'd split the babble community into stats versus scouts...

3:47 am

MollyL

Ha ha Jan, like there is anything official about Babble. The anything goes word game. : )

3:47 am

jan

We already have lots of stat acronyms--NBT, NBS. Just like RBI, OBP, ERA

3:47 am

uusue2

did you know this is the third-smallest grid on the 31st of the month? (don't get too excited, I made that up, but you get the idea :-)

3:47 am

jan

Oh, there are rules alright. Not written ones, but rules none the less.

3:48 am

hurshy

ugh did the mayans indicate when in 2012 the world would end? i could really get on board with that right now.

3:48 am

uusue2

late December, I think, hurshy, you should be feeling better by then :-)

3:49 am

jan

Well, I won't bother grading next fall semester's exams right away then. Just in case.

3:50 am

uusue2

I think for me it will be after grades are due anyway (unless I've retired by then, which I may do)

3:50 am

rubyfoo

hello everybody

3:50 am

hurshy

good call

3:50 am

MollyL

Hi Ruby

3:50 am

uusue2

hi, ruby!!!

3:50 am

rubyfoo

If I don't see you again, I wish you an excellent 2012, filled with health, less strife and, hopefully, even prosperity!

3:51 am

uusue2

and hi, molly!

3:51 am

uusue2

you too, ruby, very nice!

3:51 am

MollyL

Same to you Ruby

3:51 am

jan

OK I'm officially stuck. Five left and none of them are showing themselves.

3:51 am

hurshy

uhoh here's the snoring

3:51 am

jan

Lovely wishes Ruby.

3:51 am

hurshy

i can try to play GWJIM

3:51 am

hurshy

what letters do you need jan?

3:52 am

rubyfoo

are you still having a wonderful time, Sue?

3:52 am

rubyfoo

I have not been playing much so I've really missed you folks!

3:53 am

MollyL

And we have missed you Ruby. What's the status of the outdoor capon? : )

3:53 am

jan

One a, one i, one m, and a w. (I just found the p/6 I was needing.)

3:53 am

rubyfoo

I fed what I could to the (lucky) pups and tossed the rest.

3:53 am

hurshy

let's see, a, do you have am4/6

3:53 am

rubyfoo

it wasn't very good this year

3:54 am

hurshy

oh i should have asked top a or left

3:54 am

jan

All are 5 letters, speaking of stats.

3:54 am

uusue2

I am having an absolutely fabulous time, ruby!!!!

3:54 am

hurshy

ok am5 sailing term i think

3:54 am

jan

Top a it is.

3:55 am

hurshy

ih5 babblet

3:55 am

uusue2

today is a bit of relaxing, then tomorrow we are off to Jerusalem and then to the Galilee

3:55 am

jan

Oh course, thanks hurshy.

3:55 am

hurshy

ma5 opened a large mouth i guess

3:56 am

jan

Another fishy one...OK now it's just the last w/5

3:56 am

hurshy

wh5/22 i think is a brand of cleaner. or a comic book noise.

3:56 am

rubyfoo

it sounds like a wonderful trip! Our various snowbird friends have arrived (not staying with us, fortunately) and, although we had one good snowstorm, not it is gloomy and rainy

3:56 am

rubyfoo

now*

3:57 am

jan

Comic book noises: pow, blam, bop...

3:57 am

hurshy

yes like that

3:57 am

MollyL

And a brand of toys, the wh

3:57 am

rubyfoo

wh5 is what happens to me in lexulous!

3:57 am

uusue2

it actually rained for the wedding, which had to be moved inside (which was fine) - this may not sound odd but the annual rainfall here is 15 mm. I think we got all of it yesterday.

3:57 am

jan

Ooh, got it! Though I would have guessed a double consonant if I were spelling it.

3:57 am

hurshy

me too

3:57 am

hurshy

grats jan

3:58 am

rubyfoo

did the desert blossom?

3:58 am

jan

And so to bed. At just before 2 am.

3:58 am

MollyL

It is technically a hyphenated word, but as I said, anything goes in this odd game

3:58 am

uusue2

(and I will take myself off to the PB now, hope there is some vitamin C there - I am coming down with a cold)

3:58 am

uusue2

not that I could tell, ruby, but I haven't been out much today

3:58 am

hurshy

zinc you need zinc

3:58 am

rubyfoo

have to go, thumper is afoot.

3:58 am

MollyL

No getting a cold. Flying home with a cold will not be fun.

3:59 am

rubyfoo

I hope to see you later. Wh5 that cold, sue!

3:59 am

rubyfoo

3:59 am

hurshy

now i just need my husband to have a sleep study

3:59 am

uusue2

once the stores open again tomorrow I can load up with remedies, right now it is citrus fruit, gargling with salt water, and hot tea

3:59 am

jan

You're so right hurshy. Zinc is the closest thing to a cure that we have. Beats the heck out of echinacea.

3:59 am

uusue2

bye, ruby!

4:00 am

hurshy

yeah an MD i knew who was into holistic and alternative stuff turned me on to zinc and i was like why are other doctors not on the zinc bandwagon??? but i guess it is more popular now.

4:00 am

rubyfoo

I am glad to hear that zinc works

4:01 am

jan

It used to be pretty nasty stuff, gritty and metallic tasting. But now they have all those tasty lozenges.

4:01 am

hurshy

diff people react differently though, some find vit c hugely effective, whereas i never found it much help

4:02 am

uusue2

zinc nose sprays can be dangerous - people have completely lost their sense of smell

4:02 am

hurshy

oh the snoring!!!!!

4:02 am

jan

I never travel without zinc lozenges in my little first aid baggie. Also, real sudafed, in case I have serious congestion during the flight.

4:02 am

hurshy

oh yes i do not go for nose spray just tablets

4:03 am

hurshy

my cat's name is a word ma6 nickname ma4 so i can't talk about him today :(

4:04 am

jan

Hate to Babble and run, but it's really, really past my bedtime. Night all! And thanks for the clues and the company.

4:04 am

uusue2

if I feel a cold coming on, I eat tons of vitamin C - as long as I don't see myself peeing it out I figure my body is using it - didn't bring any on the trip, though

4:04 am

hurshy

night jan

4:04 am

uusue2

night, jan!

4:05 am

elvespretty

hello

4:06 am

uusue2

hi, elves!

4:06 am

elvespretty

hello uusue2

elvespretty

im a newbie here

4:11 am

elvespretty

Happy New year everyone!

4:14 am

elvespretty

time

4:15 am

uusue2

hey, elves, try to be careful to put grid words in the "add word" box and not in the chat (but don't worry, it's a mistake we all make sometimes)

4:16 am

uusue2

If you read the "help" above, it is actually pretty useful in explaining the game

4:16 am

uusue2

and welcome!!!

4:29 am

uusue2

ok, off to lunch (the last official wedding function). BBL!

5:09 am

MollyL

Copied Dee's list to my profile if anyone needs it.

5:46 am

uusue2

back from lunch....a whole afternoon with nothing to do!!!

5:57 am

MollyL

Well then, put up your feet and enjoy yourself.

5:58 am

uusue2

exactly my plan (once all the kids get safely on their way)

7:00 am

10s Gu

how many words..... please and ty

7:01 am

chrisk

83 words

7:14 am

uusue2

ok, kids are on the bus, all is well!

7:15 am

MollyL

Sue, are their young kids? I thought they were all adult age.

7:15 am

MollyL

Ugh, there

7:16 am

lbdawger

ty Molly for Dee's list. finito!

7:17 am

ivesy3

am 5/12 plz

7:17 am

MollyL

Yay LBD! It was short and sweet. Why do I think the first grid of the New Year will be huge?

7:17 am

lbdawger

Happy New Year

7:17 am

lbdawger

a + central street, Ivesy

7:18 am

MollyL

a + popular name for a street

7:18 am

uusue2

they are adult kids, molly

7:18 am

lbdawger

yup, a quicky for sure. Although mixed feelings for a bigger grid. Hubz has decided we're painting the kitchen cupboards today.

7:18 am

ivesy3

ty both

7:19 am

uusue2

and yay lbd!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

7:19 am

lbdawger

Shalom, UU

7:19 am

MollyL

Well LBD, it will be nice to start the New Year with a fresh look in your kitchen.

7:19 am

uusue2

shalom, lbd!

7:20 am

suefrad625

hi all

7:20 am

lbdawger

more like a fresh mess, but it will lighten the room up a lot

7:20 am

MollyL

Hi SueF

7:20 am

uusue2

hi, sue!

7:20 am

lbdawger

hi sue

7:20 am

suefrad625

I made a wonderful Veg soup last night and slow cooked it for today, yum

7:20 am

suefrad625

of course it is Dec 31st and it will be 60 deg.

7:20 am

lbdawger

sounds good, sue.

7:20 am

MollyL

I went from dark to lighter cupboards in a kitchen once. It made a wonderful difference.

7:20 am

suefrad625

I am ready for some soup weather

7:21 am

MollyL

I am just fine with this mild winter weather. Keep it coming.

7:21 am

suefrad625

I went Red for my cupboards and love it

7:25 am

suefrad625

didnt mean to kill the chog

7:25 am

uusue2

we are utterly stunned by the idea of red cupboards, sue :-)

7:26 am

suefrad625

I came out wondeful. I have black marble counter tops and black equip.

7:26 am

suefrad625

and my wall paper is cream with different flour seed packets

7:26 am

kje

what does the 8 start with?

7:26 am

suefrad625

and the floor is a beigeish tile

7:27 am

uusue2

tr8/50

7:27 am

uusue2

sounds great, sue!

7:27 am

suefrad625

the red is pretty much the one on the bar when you get the wrong word

7:27 am

kje

ty

7:27 am

suefrad625

I love it

7:28 am

suefrad625

I had to have a few ma7's before the first stroke, but it worked well

7:30 am

Kaplan the Magne

we just did new cabinets

7:31 am

Kaplan the Magne

finally. I would have done something like red countertops if I lived alone, but in deference to kids, went neutral

7:31 am

suefrad625

I love the new in an old house

7:31 am

Kaplan the Magne

It looks great anyway, after years of broken wood.

7:31 am

MollyL

I can't use red for decorating as that color agitates me. I use Earth tones.

7:31 am

suefrad625

my house is from the 40's

7:32 am

suefrad625

but I keep the wood floors and beadboard ceillings

7:32 am

Kaplan the Magne

mine is 1895

7:32 am

MollyL

Ooo Kap, I love old houses.

7:32 am

suefrad625

wow kaplan

7:32 am

suefrad625

are you in an historical district

7:33 am

uusue2

mine is about as old as yours, kap (1892, probably)

7:33 am

suefrad625

I cant imagine what you both have done to the house. I had to up my elec service from bob and wire to a todays box

7:34 am

Kaplan the Magne

not so much district, but we have a historical placard. It's a densely built city of many triple deckers, and victorians

7:34 am

suefrad625

oh, and the plumming.....

7:34 am

Kaplan the Magne

Sometimes I want to live in a little carriage house with no junk

7:35 am

suefrad625

lol

7:36 am

suefrad625

I gave away the junk.

7:36 am

Kaplan the Magne

sometime midcentury, all the victorian touches went out of style and people carpeted their homes, took out the stained glass windows, and got rid of the ornate details that were out of fashion. but historical preservation did come back eventually.

7:37 am

Kaplan the Magne

what to do with husband's junk is the sad story of my life

7:37 am

suefrad625

for christmas I had mary, joseph and christ with the northern star over them. that was it. it took 4 min to put up and 4 to put away. My neighbors are still crawling over the roofs to take the lights down

7:38 am

suefrad625

what kind of junk?

7:38 am

suefrad625

where do you live?

7:38 am

uusue2

fireworks!

7:38 am

suefrad625

I put my stuff on Yahoo Freecycle and trust it goes to those who need it.

7:38 am

suefrad625

congrats sue!!

7:39 am

MollyL

Two words Kap, yard sale

7:39 am

kje

i love freecycle... have given lots of things away on there

7:40 am

suefrad625

kap is your husband still alive and with you?

7:41 am

suefrad625

ah, new years eve and the word di4 is in the grid

7:41 am

lbdawger

whooooo hoooooo UU!!

7:41 am

NonoNanette

i

7:45 am

hurshy

it's easy, just get a tonsillectomy, this is followed by not eating much...

7:46 am

EspritdJean

except ICE CREAM

7:47 am

MollyL

How are you feeling today Hursh?

7:47 am

hurshy

even ice cream i haven't wanted much of

7:48 am

hurshy

i am feeling... ok at the moment. it helped to read on a website and find that other people do just as bad if not worse. am a bit nervous because they confirmed what the doctor said about it getting worse again before it really gets better - turns out that is cause it hurts when the scabs come off.

7:49 am

hurshy

but i do hope scrabbler turns up as i have a related but sort of not related question.

7:51 am

uusue2

jes might be able to help too, hurshy, she is a vet but many of the issues are similar (and she speaks pretty much the same language :-)

found 60 - may be back on before new year. If not, happy first moments of 2012, all!

7:51 am

hurshy

i'm still not a fan of codeine and this whole "as soon as my head starts to feel normal it's time to take it again" thing but am trying to remember it's temporary.

7:52 am

hurshy

oh my question is about mental health meds so pretty sure not a vet issue.

7:52 am

uusue2

pretty simple grid today, dan - happy new year anyway!

7:53 am

uusue2

can't hurt to ask if she shows up and scrabs doesn't, hurshy, some of those meds are used for animals (believe it or not!)

7:53 am

72 Temple Owl

hello all

7:53 am

uusue2

is there a pharmacy that is open that you could call? Sometimes pharmacists can help with med interactions.

7:53 am

uusue2

hi, TO!

7:53 am

hurshy

i can't call anybody, cause i can't talk.

7:53 am

hurshy

am still waiting for husband to wake up.

7:54 am

72 Temple Owl

ooh no t feeling very well today hursh?

7:55 am

hurshy

not great but surviving. just need to ask some questions.

7:56 am

72 Temple Owl

have you asked dr about a different pain med? i had dental surgery and was given something else when i said no codeine or derivatives

7:57 am

lbdawger

(((HURSHY))) the ice cream, jello and popsickles aren't helping? Is KJE still on? she's a doctor

7:57 am

hurshy

well this is the thing i realized that i think the weirdness may be more due to NOT taking a med i was already on rather than the codeine itself and i kinda want to get off that med anyway so am now wondering if i ought to go back and taper off or just go with it, since i was on a low dose anyway.

7:59 am

hurshy

hey but do not worry this is the comforting thing i discovered last night, i'm not SUPPOSED to be better yet, i'm doing better than a lot of people at this point, so it's not like something is going awry really.

7:59 am

72 Temple Owl

well that is good

7:59 am

lbdawger

feel better soon, Hursh!

8:00 am

8:42 am

hurshy

i have been on low dose (.5 mg) clonazepam for number of years, prescribed for insomnia. nobody ever mentioned that after 9 weeks it ceases to work so i guess i've been placeboing it up for years.

8:42 am

car.eeyore

depends....

8:43 am

Scrabbler

I woke up sideways in bed today.

8:43 am

Scrabbler

So are you sleeping well?

8:43 am

Trifioso

car!!!

8:43 am

magazinemom

am 5/12 clue for fireworks, please

8:43 am

hurshy

well i had my tonsils out as you know and am now on codeine which makes me sleep and so i thought oh don't need the clon. but have been having weird dreams (had tonsils out to work on the sleeping more).

8:43 am

car.eeyore

; p

8:44 am

jmcnrick

you have a point car but i am alone so horizontal is best

8:44 am

car.eeyore

Personally, I always have very funky dreams on codeine.

8:44 am

hurshy

just feeling very weird dizzy lightheaded and dreams weird to point of feeling like hallucinations.

8:44 am

car.eeyore

Hi magazinemom...I don't have it yet.

8:45 am

magazinemom

hi car!

8:45 am

hurshy

so am wondering, i guess i should have tapered off the clon but now that i didn't, should i go back and taper or should i just live through it since i'm dealing with all this crap from the surgery anyway? it sounded like cold turkey of this low a dose was probably ok but i wanted to check.

8:45 am

jmcnrick

am5 may be a sailing term

8:45 am

Scrabbler

Narcotics/opiates (codeine) may be causing the issue. Did you stop the clon? Withdrawal is a problem.

8:46 am

magazinemom

ty jmc!

8:46 am

hurshy

yes i figured out the prob just don't know what to do now :)

8:46 am

magazinemom

that's fireworks!

8:46 am

jmcnrick

did that work mag?

8:46 am

car.eeyore

Congrats magazinemom!!!!!

8:46 am

jmcnrick

whoo hoo mag!

8:46 am

crosshair

yaa for magazinemom!

8:46 am

Trifioso

huzzah for mag!

8:47 am

hurshy

can it cause more serious problems if i just stay off the clon now, or is it likely ok? it sounded like it was only likely to cause seizure if you had been on higher doses.

8:47 am

Scrabbler

Just stay off clon as you were on the lowest dose.

8:47 am

magazinemom

ty and Happy New Year everyone!!

8:47 am

Scrabbler

Yay magmom

8:47 am

car.eeyore

Happy New Year!!!

8:47 am

hurshy

ok thank you so much that makes me feel so much better to have you confirm my guess.

8:47 am

Scrabbler

Are you still taking codeine?

8:47 am

jmcnrick

happy new year mag

8:47 am

car.eeyore

<---- did not figure out the am 5/12

8:48 am

hurshy

yes still taking codeine, is day 4 after surgery.

8:48 am

Scrabbler

Soon your brain will be happy to be off clon.

8:48 am

car.eeyore

Just did!!!!

8:48 am

jmcnrick

(me either car)

8:48 am

car.eeyore

No, I didn't.

8:48 am

hurshy

yes i am betting it will. kinda works out well as i have to be out of work anyway.

8:48 am

Scrabbler

And when you are off codeine your brain will be even happier. Have you ever tried melatonin?

8:48 am

Trifioso

<------ did not figure out the 8

8:48 am

hurshy

i have tried melatonin to no effect in past. but will see what the ball game looks like with no tonsils after recovery.

Soodle

Glan, my son just got a Happy New Year text from a Welsh colleague.... It said HYN from God's own country. My son was tickled pink!

1:58 pm

Glantarell

missing the reason for the tickledness?

2:00 pm

Soodle

There is on-going rivalry between the pair of them.... Ireland v Wales. My son feels the Welshman has scored points on the God's Own Country remark

2:01 pm

Glantarell

well, HNY to you all, and happy babbling - see you in 2012 - and soodle, we all call it God's own couintry here (because it is!) LOL

**HAPPY 2012** from DownUnder xxx

2:25 pm

hego

Hi diz, how is 2012 so far?

2:26 pm

MollyL

New Year's tradition in my house. Use it or don't. Place a silver (or mostly silver) coin by your front door. Give it to the first visitor you get in the New Year. They are then to keep it and pass it on to their first visitor in the coming New Year. This makes for some fun stories if you keep it going.

2:26 pm

dizgrannie

nice and quiet now....we had idiot neighbours letting off illegal fireworks all night

2:27 pm

hego

Nice tradition, Molly.

2:28 pm

hego

Hope ours will be a bit quieter.

2:29 pm

2:30 pm

scouser

Happy New Year everyone from Scouser in Liverpool UK

2:30 pm

2:35 pm

New year custom we used to have: put bread (preferably rye) and salt on a plate and take it from back door round outside house to front to be let in at midnight. No first-footing from 11.45 to midnight.

2:35 pm

hego

first footing?

2:37 pm

scouser

going from house to house bearing a bottle of whisky or any other alcohol and generally whooping it up

2:37 pm

m9f9l

interesting.

2:37 pm

scouser

also opening all doors and windows to let out the old and let in the new year.

2:37 pm

hego

sounds fun.

2:38 pm

m9f9l

I've always thought it would be fun to take a bite of barm brack and throw the rest at the door.

2:39 pm

scouser

I still do the windows bit. When I was young it was marvellous sound like a huge huge organ as all the ships on the river Mersey would hoot in unison. Fab.

2:39 pm

m9f9l

my mom banged pots and pans to "drive away the bad spirits" LOL.

2:39 pm

scouser

see we still have all these ancient spirit customs.

2:40 pm

hego

My uncle fired off his hunting rifles.

2:40 pm

scouser

now we have fireworks instead - especially the noisy kind. My son is a pyromaniac: comes from both his and my birthdays being in early November.

2:40 pm

hego

Drove my dad nuts.

2:41 pm

scouser

I used to work in school science labs so experimentation with noise and colour was a regular occurrence!

2:43 pm

scouser

I have a 1910 book of helpful handy household hints called !Inquire Within". There are lots of recipes for things like French stars etc which are simple fireworks made with stuff you bought from the chemist's shop on the corner. Gone are those days.

2:45 pm

hego

last word in6, 21, anyone. pls

2:47 pm

scouser

run two simple words together just in......

2:47 pm

hego

2:47 pm

m9f9l

well... will you finish in**** for the new year??

2:47 pm

hego

Here is my LAST story of clues for the year 2011......

8:10 pm

Minveryork

I felt like such an ai 7/36 doing the puzzle today, but I finally finished so here is a story filled with hi4/5s. I hope to be able to stay awake to watch the ball drop which will be ai 6/24 at midnight. I wonder who first thought of the id4/5 of dropping a ball on New Year's Eve in Ti4/5s Square in NY. I remember the first time I watched the ball drop, I was aw 4/9 by all the lights the ball em4/5ted. Now it's a struggle to stay awake. This year, however, I bought some nice party it 4/5s that will help me stay awake. I also went to the food ma 4/5 and got some ingredients. I ma 4/5 some nice appetizers to eat all night. I will be drinking apple ma 7/32s as I ri 4/6 in the new year. I wonder who does the hi6/27 for the singers that perform every year.I never like the singers they hire. This year Lady Gaga will be singing. I think she always looks like a ho4/5. I am ir5/14 hubby by not sharing computer. He's doing his usual wh7/56. I'm going to give him some laptop ti 4/5. I am going to take a shower and wash my ha4/5 on my he 4/6. I hope that you've found some ma 4/5 words with this story. I didn't really ed 4/5 my story so there may be some mistakes. I'll definitely be back in6/21 for the flip. I will see you all later gators!

Good Evening, Everybody. First time here today (we have our grandson) and I'm beat! How is the grid today (thank Goodness it's a short one!)

10:15 pm

Mask-and-Mirror

10:15 pm

Minveryork

Congratulations to you Mask-and-Mirror! Good for U!

10:16 pm

Hello Nef! How are you doing? Welcome to the puzzle.

10:16 pm

JenMO16

hi nef!

10:16 pm

Minveryork

The grid is a stinker,but I have a list and story tonite

10:18 pm

Mask-and-Mirror

a story?

10:19 pm

Nef

12 words in the first 3 minutes isn't too bad (but I probably will need your story and list tonight. Is Lickety taking some time off or something?

10:19 pm

Minveryork

Whenever I finish grid I put a story of clues in profile

10:19 pm

uusue2

I actually found this grid to be pretty straightforward, but then I am weird.

10:20 pm

uusue2

and hi to all!

10:20 pm

Minveryork

Lickety was working yesterday, but not day before.

10:20 pm

Minveryork

Hello uusue2! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid

10:21 pm

uusue2

I am good, min! Fabulous family wedding on Friday, now decompressing and getting ready to travel with relatives (including the new bride and groom, believe it or not!)

10:21 pm

Mask-and-Mirror

Oh, ok! I try not to use clues, but I haven't completed many boards. I'm not doing well on this one and the story is a really good idea!

10:22 pm

JenMO16

hi sue!

10:23 pm

Picklesny

10:23 pm

Nef

NBT; working on NBS (could I have the stats on a 7 AND THE 8, PLEASE?

10:23 pm

Minveryork

I totally rely on clues and Lickety's list.I do not really challenge myself with this, even though I really should

10:23 pm

uusue2

I am, pickles, and the sun has risen on 2012! May it be a better year than 2011 was!!

10:23 pm

uusue2

10:27 pm

Mask-and-Mirror

The story is a nice way of doing it without making them super-obvious though; do you do them most days?

10:27 pm

uusue2

but I already celebrated New Year's anyway :-)

10:27 pm

carleekat

Try to, but some days I do not get to it or don't have time. If it is a HUMUNGOUS grid,I will do story after I have found at least half the words Mask-and-Mirror.

10:29 pm

Mask-and-Mirror

Ok, I'll look out for them, then! :)

10:29 pm

10:42 pm

Nef

I'm actually going to have a little bubbly tonight. I usually don't drink; but I won a bottle of something or other a couple of weeks ago; so we thought we'd have some tonight

10:43 pm

Nef

I wish I had some cheesecake for tonight; I'm eating peanut brittle right now

10:44 pm

carleekat

Minveryork

10:46 pm

Nef

Oooh! Carlee; can I come over tonight? (although I don't think I'll get there by midnight; we are having some beautiful snow here right now!)

10:47 pm

Picklesny

that's the song she sings born this way

10:47 pm

carleekat

no snow here... and sure... i got so much more for food..but all the kids ate before getting here... making pancakes for breaky...might make them banana pancakes

10:47 pm

Minveryork

Oh,I am not a Lady GaGa fan.Know nothing about her

10:48 pm

carleekat

10:48 pm

Picklesny

10:48 pm

carleekat

kathy griffiths in her bra and panties

10:48 pm

Minveryork

I wish that the flip would happen when the ball drops.

10:49 pm

Nef

It does here, Min! ;-)

10:49 pm

Minveryork

I DO like Annie Lennox. I think she has a much better voice and is much more talented.I wish she sang more

10:49 pm

10:49 pm

Picklesny

Minveryork

Lucky you Nef! I am struggling just to stay up for ball

10:50 pm

carleekat

10:50 pm

Minveryork

10:50 pm

Picklesny

I remember seeing Annie wearing a beard

10:52 pm

carleekat

10:52 pm

carleekat

11:43 pm

Minveryork

So has everybody passed out from all the champagne and wine drinking? I am struggling to stay up for flip.

11:44 pm

Jacula

I'm awake, after NY eve with Beloved and his daughter (who he's grounded for a month).

11:46 pm

Minveryork

Hi Jacula! Happy New Year! Are you in New York now

11:47 pm

Minveryork

Not a good way to start the new year for your step-daughter. Why has husband grounded step-daughter?

11:47 pm

vanillaslice

hello everyone and a very happy new year to you all

11:47 pm

Minveryork

I want to be here for the first Babble flip of the year.

11:48 pm

Minveryork

Hello vanillaslice! How are you? Welcome to the puzzle

11:48 pm

vanillaslice

good on ya Minveryork

11:48 pm

Minveryork

Happy New Year to you too vanillaslice.Nice to see ya

11:48 pm

vanillaslice

I am very well, had a quiet new years eve and that suited us well

11:49 pm

Jacula

Min - no, not in New York, I was referring to New Year's eve when I typed NY.

11:50 pm

Minveryork

Had a nice quiet New Year's Eve too with my nephew and niece whom I was babysitting all night long. They stayed up until midnight. Was 1st ti4/5 ever for them

11:51 pm

vanillaslice

I see all that firework and parties and noise and it seems all artificial to me.. I think a quiet time of reflection would suit todays worls better

11:51 pm

Minveryork

Oh DUH! Whenever I see "NY", I think of "New York".

11:51 pm

Jacula

stepdaughter (aged 17) is grounded because she took to a secret stash of high percentage spirit-based booze and got herself drunk and sick on Boxing Day Eve, after she'd been allowed a moderate amount on alcohol at the family get-together.

11:52 pm

vanillaslice

hope she was proper sick

11:52 pm

Minveryork

You're absolutely right vanillaslice!Just like XMas has lost the true meaning of X-mas; over commercialized.

11:52 pm

Jacula

However, she's dealt with the consequences of her actions now and, I hope, has learned from them.

11:53 pm

Minveryork

I'm sure my older niece and nephew are out partying.

11:53 pm

vanillaslice

thats the way we all had to learn ... and still do

11:54 pm

Jacula

We spent the time as 2012 approached and, after a family toast, playing a boardgame that aalways makes us all laugh.

11:54 pm

Minveryork

I tell my hubby, "if you want to play you have to PAY!"

11:54 pm

vanillaslice

sounds great Jacula

11:55 pm

Minveryork

My husband STILL has not learned his lesson & he's 42

11:55 pm

vanillaslice

he's got half a life to learn

11:55 pm

Jacula

vanilla - that's true. We'd just prefer , given past history, that she learns that lesson in a safe home environment, rather than in public where who knows who could take advantage and do God knows what.

11:56 pm

Minveryork

Any guesses for next grid size? My guess is 467 words

11:56 pm

Minveryork

Probably not with all the drinking & smoking he does.

11:56 pm

Jacula

Min - I'll try 368 for the grid size. either that or a measly 36 words.

11:56 pm

vanillaslice

I suppose the ttrouble is Jacula that they will not do it at home

11:57 pm

vanillaslice

my guess: 202

11:57 pm

MLFAN17

hello

11:57 pm

Minveryork

I was thinking either 467 or 109.Hoping more like 109

11:57 pm

MLFAN17

326

11:57 pm

Jacula

vanilla - she's not my daughter and I agree with you, but try telling her Dad that.

11:57 pm

vanillaslice
