if they don't have a spot for those...you never know...you might get them

2:30 am

dart001

or if they don't want too give them away...you might ask how much they wouldsell them for

2:30 am

VolleymomDee

That would make me thrilled - the female owner has exquisite taste... I'd take anything they leave behind :)

2:31 am

dart001

they might not go with the decor in their new place

2:31 am

VolleymomDee

Wouldn't that be fantastic???? LOL...here's hoping.

2:31 am

dart001

yep

2:32 am

VolleymomDee

I still cannot believe that all of the colors in the house match our bedding, towels, furniture... it's pretty weird

2:32 am

dart001

that's great...will save you some money

2:33 am

VolleymomDee

Definitely will save a ton... no painting, no floor changes ... just move in... hubby may have baulked (sp?) at price otherwise, so feel very fortunate about that.

2:34 am

VolleymomDee

Going to get to see Fiddler on the Roof onstage for the first time next week.... we have always wanted to but it has never been close before.

2:34 am

dart001

seen that one twice...once as a kid..and the second with my wife and her parents when they came to MN

2:35 am

dart001

good show

2:35 am

VolleymomDee

not sure why it's never been in Indy or Chicago before now... the music alone is spectacular

2:37 am

dart001

they had (maybe still have) a nice dinner theater in west suburbs of MPLS. Always had 2-3 shows running and rotated the big one through every few years...you could either have dinner and show...or just do the show.

2:37 am

dart001

ones

2:38 am

dart001

oklahoma,state fair.phantomof the opera, fiddler on the roof..etc

2:38 am

VolleymomDee

I love those kind of events... nothing better than dinner and a musical. I think it was PBS ... had an Andrew Lloyd Webber special today, so hubby had TV cranked up most of the day. I'll be hearing the songs in my head for days. Phantom in my top 5 favorites.

2:39 am

VolleymomDee

I didn't care for the movies particularly, but on stage amazing!

2:39 am

dart001

we would go maybe once a year for a special occasion.....i agree the live stage shows are great

2:40 am

VolleymomDee

We have seen that in Chicago twice, London, Indy several times... takes stupendous voices in Phant because of the ranges.

2:40 am

VolleymomDee

Great fun.

2:40 am

VolleymomDee

I also like Les Mis and lion King

2:41 am

VolleymomDee

Well, I need to check emails and finish some notes for tomorrow night. Thanks again for the help. Til the flip.

2:41 am

dart001

this theater had it's own people, for the most part. Very talented and you would see them do many parts over the years...one of the leading men and leading ladies got married...and they performed(i think) the longest running show of I Do, I do

2:42 am

VolleymomDee

How sweet! I have never seen that one before; bet it was great.

2:42 am

dart001

yep...dentist in about 7 hrs for me...will pooof too

2:43 am

VolleymomDee

ta ta gl at dentist *poof*

2:43 am

4:23 am

have you worked on the grid

4:23 am

westford

I have 59 left do you need help?

4:24 am

Buttonman

morning westford. yes, I need clues for the re 8 and te 8 pleae

4:26 am

westford

re 7/8 fancy name for a saint's keepsake..uses the high point tile

4:27 am

westford

te 7/8 prefix meaning distance and walked fast

4:28 am

Buttonman

got the te, thanks, working on the re 8 now

4:29 am

westford

that's good

4:29 am

westford

sounds like a French ending

4:30 am

rubyfoo

hello

4:30 am

rubyfoo

no news on Max

4:30 am

westford

hi ruby I read about him I'm so sorry

4:31 am

westford

I saw an interview with Temple the other night and thought of you both

4:32 am

rubyfoo

temple is my hero! And without her, Max would never have come as far as he did

4:32 am

westford

she's an amazing woman

4:32 am

rubyfoo

I've been on the phone all morning, talking to all the people I tried to call on Saturday (police, etc) and have put up osters everywhere

4:33 am

rubyfoo

We are just so terribly broken up; both of us just sit around crying.

4:33 am

westford

how is your Ruby taking it?

4:33 am

rubyfoo

I've already tried to contact a "chow person" in Italy, to try and get another puppy as we are all, Ruby included, in a wretched state

4:34 am

westford

is there any chance he was stolen?

4:34 am

rubyfoo

and a little male fluffy puppy would certainly help this family

4:35 am

westford

very true but I feel he'll be back

4:35 am

rubyfoo

it is unlikely he was stolen as he is so big an scary-looking and shy, besides, that it is unlikely anybody could get him into a car

4:35 am

rubyfoo

what is most likeley is that he got hit by a car when he escaped, black as night as he is, and limped off into the shrubbery someplace to die.

4:35 am

rubyfoo

We have looked along all the local roads

4:36 am

westford

it is so strange that he would take off

4:36 am

rubyfoo

my por husband just sits and cries

4:36 am

rubyfoo

he had never been off the property before, in all of his 8 yrs

4:36 am

westford

you both must be heartbroken

4:37 am

westford

are there any outbuildings on your property that he might have been locked in by accident?

4:37 am

rubyfoo

there are posters every place and everybody in this village and the two neighboring ones who've been alerted

4:38 am

westford

I'm sure you must have looked and looked

4:38 am

rubyfoo

we've checked everything and I go outside at midnight, when it's very quiet, and call him and listen, in case he's hunkered down in somebody's garage or barn

4:38 am

rubyfoo

this is a nightmare

4:38 am

westford

I know

4:39 am

rubyfoo

and he could hear me and I could hear the slightest whimper

4:39 am

rubyfoo

but it's two days now and I think that, short of a miracle (thanks to everyone's prayers), that it is very unlikely that he'll be found

4:40 am

westford

he will surprise you

4:41 am

rubyfoo

not just us, but evrybody has looked, even our neighbor, who has Parkinson's, went out with his two canes looking for Max

4:41 am

westford

his animal instincts will kick in and he'll find his way home

4:41 am

lynxxx

Oh Ruby, I saw that Max had disappeared. I feel for you

4:41 am

lynxxx

Hi West

4:41 am

rubyfoo

I hope you're right, west

4:41 am

rubyfoo

4:41 am

westford

they are like our children, aren't they?

4:41 am

rubyfoo

we're wrecked

4:42 am

rubyfoo

especially since we're old and our children are grown. He is like the offspring of this lat marriage.

4:42 am

rubyfoo

late*

4:42 am

lynxxx

...and Ruby has been ill?

4:43 am

rubyfoo

Thank God, she got over it!

4:44 am

rubyfoo

And I have hand-fed Max for years and we have developed a very close, almost physical bond, like with a small baby

4:44 am

rubyfoo

but he weighs about 75 lbs and is scary-looking

4:44 am

westford

that's why it's so strange that he wandered off

4:44 am

rubyfoo

I will never change my avatar because that is the pic on the posters

4:45 am

rubyfoo

we are puzzled

4:45 am

lynxxx

how old was Max?

4:45 am

rubyfoo

8

4:45 am

rubyfoo

and he's been on Prozac (per Temple Grandin) since he was 6 months old

4:46 am

lynxxx

so it's not as though he was coming to the end and decided to take himself off as some dogs do

4:46 am

rubyfoo

I agree, Lynxx

4:47 am

rubyfoo

yes, we had Cleo do that, but at two. She evidently had a heart anomaly and died under the hedge.

4:47 am

rubyfoo

DON'T BUT A BLACK CHOW CHOW!

4:48 am

rubyfoo

buy*

4:48 am

rubyfoo

they are very beautiful, but I think that breeding for black is a big mistake

4:49 am

rubyfoo

who knew?

4:49 am

lynxxx

Perhaps Ruby being sick threw him off his normal routine as he got disorientated somehow..it is still early days - if anyone has found him I am sure they would soon start looking for his rightful owners

4:49 am

rubyfoo

I can start making calls again after 2PM our time. They don't work long hour at the SPA

4:50 am

westford

has it been cold..would he have taken shelter inside?

4:53 am

rubyfoo

I just talked to the gendarmerie again, and "our guy" is on holiday!

4:54 am

rubyfoo

less cold than before

4:54 am

westford

the one who helped when Burt was bitten?

4:55 am

rubyfoo

yes, and who has come by, from time to time, to check on Burt

4:55 am

rubyfoo

everybody is so nicehere

4:55 am

westford

they must all know how much he means to you and Burt

4:56 am

rubyfoo

I have to go and make Burt lunch; he is just sitting in a chair, crying

4:56 am

westford

tell him not to give up and don't you either

4:57 am

rubyfoo

I am ordering a new puppy as soson as I can.....

4:57 am

rubyfoo

if Max, miraculously, returns, we'll have 3!

4:57 am

westford

Max will be his big brother

4:58 am

rubyfoo

{{big hugs West and Lynxx))

No news on Max, Mom.

6:36 am

Trifioso

6:37 am

Mom

Trif, high school or college?

6:37 am

MollyL

Ruby was on this morning and they are still very upset.

6:37 am

Trifioso

6:39 am

Trifioso

looks like SOMEONE had a big ol midlife crisis

6:39 am

Mom

there was something like that several years back with a female teacher and one of her students. She went to jail. When she got out of jail he was over 18. They married and now have a family

6:39 am

Mom

sick

6:40 am

Trifioso

mind you, when I was teaching high school, there were some MIGHTY good looking, hunka hunka burning love young men wandering the halls. But let the silly thought become the deed? uh...no.

6:41 am

Mom

when I was in school there wasn't a male teacher that I would even consider wanting to be with

6:41 am

Mom

some ugly dudes around here

6:41 am

Trifioso

we had a couple of young uns, and one sub that all us girls use to drooool over.

6:42 am

Trifioso

on another note - any chance of a nudge for the lower o in the first column, or the i in the top row?

6:42 am

Mom

and in high school our teachers were nuns

6:42 am

Trifioso

LOL mom! that would cut down on teacher/student crushes I would imagine....

6:43 am

NonoNanette

Ruby, still sending positive vibes your way . . . I know how rough this is for you :-(

7:12 am

fortunately, Ruby is OK but is sad like the rest of us about her "brother"

7:12 am

bichon

Sorry, it's Max who is missing?

7:13 am

rubyfoo

now, I'm trying to figure out what "tier" for a symbol means in French as the guy used that in his e-mail address

7:13 am

Mom

(((Ruby))) I am so sorry. My heart aches for you

7:13 am

Uneaixoise

I don't mean to sound cavalier but I once had a dog who came home after roaming for five days . . .

7:13 am

rubyfoo

yes, it's max (in my avatar photo)

7:13 am

Mom

morning Une

7:13 am

rubyfoo

tirer, he said it's over the 6 on the keyboard, to separate words

7:13 am

bichon

Someone found Max and is emailing you?

7:13 am

Mom

good morning Bichon

7:14 am

Uneaixoise

could he possibly have gone looking for a female in heat? they can sense that from really far away . . .

7:14 am

rubyfoo

the problem is that Max had never been off the property before

7:14 am

Uneaixoise

hey, mom :-)

7:14 am

rubyfoo

no, I am trying to send a photo to the SPA

7:14 am

NonoNanette

is it the ^ ruby

7:14 am

rubyfoo

I think so, thank you, no no

7:14 am

rubyfoo

une, do you know what that symbol is called?

7:15 am

bichon

ruby, I think it's called a caret

7:16 am

NonoNanette

i think it is a care

7:16 am

I must scoot off here. I wish every one a great day. ((Hugs)) to all of you. Extra hugs for Ruby (((Hugs)))

morning all...what has happend to licket's list lately?

7:18 am

Buttonman

Could someone clue the re8 please

7:18 am

NonoNanette

no idea Buttonman, but if you wish a list I have it in my profile compliments of VolleymomDee

7:18 am

Uneaixoise

caret . . . unless it's different in french . . . ?

7:20 am

scouser

I think the caret might be called the tiret? cos it shows where letters have been "pulled out" of the original words e.g. etre for estre in the Latin root.

7:21 am

Uneaixoise

'un accent circonflexe'

7:22 am

Uneaixoise

tiret is a dash or hyphen

7:37 am

Anniebrook

but good ones

7:37 am

rubyfoo

sorry, just got an e-mail from a chow breeder; I'm already thinking of getting a new male puppy for Burt as he is crushed

7:38 am

Riverdance

ruby what happened

7:38 am

Anniebrook

((ruby)) I was hoping for good news...please dont give up

7:39 am

rubyfoo

that's it, une, the caret didn't work

7:39 am

rubyfoo

I must sound cold-hearted, but if Max, miraculously, turns up, we will have a new baby

7:40 am

Riverdance

I havent been on the computer for several days - is your dog missing?

7:40 am

rubyfoo

Max disappeared Fri night, rvier, I've been crying to everyone in babbleland, but have received many hopes and prayers and words of encouragement

7:41 am

Riverdance

I am so sorry to hear that ruby

7:41 am

Anniebrook

No, definitely not cold-hearted, then you will have a bigger family of dogs. Why not get another chow? It will be good for Burt and for you.

7:41 am

rubyfoo

all the neighbors have been looking, police and gendarmes involved, but I think it's a lost cause.

7:41 am

rubyfoo

I will never change my avatar as it's his picture

7:42 am

rubyfoo

I think he must have been hit by a car and crept into bushes or something to die because he's so big, he would have been visible on the roadside

7:43 am

Riverdance

does he usually stray far from the house?

7:43 am

Anniebrook

ruby, He might be frightened and hiding somewhere

7:45 am

rubyfoo

he's never been off the property in his 8 years, so he could never find his way back

7:46 am

rubyfoo

I go outside each night at midnight or so and walk our little road calling his name because it is very quiet then and he would be able to hear me.

7:46 am

rubyfoo

if he's hiding in a garage or barn

7:46 am

Riverdance

did our neighbors check their garages and barns in case he got closed up in one

7:47 am

vanillaslice

hello all ruby I've been worried all day thinking but hoping Max had been found. So sorry but please keep hoping

7:49 am

... a wood or a creek nearby? ... a bridge? ... abandoned shed? ... our cat was under the hedge in our backyard ...

7:50 am

doseffing

... any abandoned wells?

7:50 am

rubyfoo

we checked every inch of hedge and found a hole near the bottom where he must have gotten out

7:50 am

Anniebrook

ruby, did you search your studio...He might be behind a canvas.

7:51 am

rubyfoo

that's a funny idea, annie, but he's VERY big, more than 75 lbs and tall

7:51 am

Riverdance

I unfortunatley have to get back to work - ruby be strong and dont give up hope yet.

7:51 am

uusue2

yes, often if a dog is injured it will hide - part of their innate doggieness - don't want the pack to find you if you are hurt - sounds like you have some really nice neighbors, ruby, to be looking so hard for him

7:51 am

rubyfoo

in the best case, we'll have 3 chows!

7:51 am

doseffing

... where does the other side of the hole go? ... ...

7:51 am

trying to think of any and all possibilities

7:51 am

*hoping for 3 chows for ruby*

7:52 am

George has a restraining order against Scrabs? wow

10:13 am

Haz1558

He had no choice.

10:13 am

MollyL

Um, that would be a Canadian pool stick rue

10:13 am

rururocks

I understand

10:13 am

rururocks

I was struggling on that clue molly..lol

10:14 am

rururocks

how could scrabs possibly two time you haz.. it's unthinkable

10:14 am

crosshair

they call pool cues something else in the states molly? what? beating sticks? lol

10:15 am

MollyL

You know what they say about two-timers, usually a friend, rarely a stranger : P

10:15 am

Haz1558

Poor Scrabbler thinks she's Clooney's fiancee. It's very sad when someone loses grip on reality, isn't it?

10:16 am

rururocks

well.. it is common among stalkers I hear

10:16 am

i was the same way with kylie minogue for a while:))

Thanks, ru, Haz - I had gone blind to the Q!

No problem, helen.

10:18 am

too bad scrabs didn't show up for this..lol

Haz1558

I know. She'll be too busy looking after anxious mums and their kids.

10:20 am

I think I respect Doctors and Teachers more than any other professions.. that's for sure

10:20 am

..and queens..:)

10:21 am

rururocks

although we have more queens over here in SF than England does in the whole country...:)

10:21 am

fire rescue personnel get my vote.anyone who will willingly go into a burning building to haul my singed butt out of it alive gets my vote

10:22 am

rururocks

yes..they are something too crossie. my cousin is a fireman

10:23 am

Haz1558

I think anyone is worthy of respect who does their job willingly and well.

10:24 am

Haz1558

Of course, now I'll start to think of exceptions to the rule.

ROFL

10:24 am

crosshair

speaking of queens in SF here is a joke that has been floating around the bowels of this computer...

10:24 am

crosshair

My flight was being served by an obviously gay flight attendant, who seemed to put everyone in a good mood as he served us food and drinks.
As the plane prepared to descend, he came swishing down the aisle and told us â€œCaptain Marvey has asked me to announce that heâ€™ll be landing this big scary plane shortly, so lovely people, if you could just put your trays up, that would be super.â€

On his trip back up the aisle, he noticed this well-dressed and rather Arabic looking woman hadnâ€™t moved a muscle.

â€œPerhaps you didnâ€™t hear me over those big brute engines, but I asked you to raise your trazy-poo, so the main man can pitty-pat us on the ground.â€

She calmly turned her head and said, â€œIn my country, I am called a Princess and I take orders from no one.â€

To which (I swear) the flight attendant replied, without missing a beat, â€œWell, sweet-cheeks, in my country Iâ€™m called a Queen, so I outrank you.

Tray-up, Bitch.

10:25 am

love it crossy

10:27 am

monday

THATS OFFENSIVE ON SEVERAL LEVELS

10:29 am

hootowl

That's also funny - chill!

10:31 am

flosey

ease up monday

10:32 am

rururocks

I couldn't even repeat jokes my gay friends have told me ..here..

10:32 am

flosey

indeed ru, same here

10:33 am

crosshair

monday,it was told to be by a couple we know,they are both males,married and our best of friends,so do not get your nose bent out of joint

10:35 am

flosey

one of the friendliest weddings we have attended was between 2 of our very dear gay friends - you should have seen the invitation

10:35 am

crosshair

up here,the entire thing is a non-issue remember.get married,adopt kids whatever,just other countries that get their knickers in a twist over it.sorry if i offended

10:36 am

rururocks

I attended a gay wedding (when it was legal here in CA) a few years ago.. it was really moving..

10:36 am

crosshair

we even have the divorce laws set up for non-residents who come here to wed

10:37 am

rururocks

I can't wait for the Supreme Court to refuse to hear the case on Prop 8

10:37 am

crosshair

what is the gist of prop 8?

10:37 am

rururocks

I"m really stuck now

10:38 am

flosey

me too, does anyone have a clue for an5/10 please?

10:38 am

Haz1558

an5/10 - an plus Mr Harvey Oswald rearranged

10:38 am

watching some of the u.s states fight over same sex relationships is like watching the last gathering of the flat earth society:)

You're welcome, Flosey.

10:38 am

ty haz

10:39 am

hootowl

One thing I am sure of - the hate spewed on-line does not match up with what I have seen in the streets. Most people think and agree there is no problem

10:39 am

Haz1558

ruru, have you consulted a list yet?

10:39 am

rururocks

apparently Crossie hasn't met any tea partiers yet

10:39 am

crosshair

like i say,we do not give it a thought,hence we can share jokes like that without offence

10:40 am

hootowl

Please! I never cease to be amazed at their narrow-mindedness!

10:40 am

rururocks

I haven't Haz.. I'm 40 short of nirvana

10:40 am

crosshair

was not the boston tea party long ago?

10:40 am

rururocks

time to update crossy

10:41 am

hootowl

Not here!

10:41 am

hootowl

yep

10:41 am

Haz1558

Is it possible that monday was offended because that joke contained so many gay stereotypes? Just a thought.

10:41 am

hootowl

He is not a regular?

10:41 am

rastapopolous

or perhaps the arab reference?

10:41 am

rururocks

probably.. it isn't very PC . that joke

10:41 am

Haz1558

It's not a name that I recognise.

10:42 am

hootowl

so someone surfing who didn't get the whole conversation

10:42 am

rururocks

maybe he's only here on Mondays

10:43 am

flosey

good one ru

10:43 am

It also was noy given as a slur. I've actually seen it before

No, you just can't find them. Let's call spades spades.

10:47 am

sorry,if it was not a PC kind of joke,but remember,there is no issue with any of it here,so perhaps we are not as sensitive as we should be.up here it is just love,marriage,life.period.

10:47 am

crosshair

no ivesy,she has vanished off the radar on my end

10:47 am

Well, time I was making a move. The kitchen calls. Bye for now - bye ruby who's just arrived.

10:51 am

rubyfoo

I've contacted the Italian woman we know who shows chows, and have started the process for getting a replacement dog for our beloved Max

10:52 am

rubyfoo

hopefully, it will make Mr. Ruby feel better

10:52 am

rururocks

bye haz

10:52 am

flosey

perhaps crossy will put it in his bio

10:52 am

crosshair

yaaa! new puppy for ruby!!

10:52 am

flosey

ruby, check 10:24 am

10:52 am

rubyfoo

you heard, din't you crossy, that Max disappeared on Fri night

10:53 am

crosshair

no,i did not:(

10:53 am

rubyfoo

we've done everything possible, but I've given up

10:54 am

flosey

oh dear, sorry to hear that ruby

10:54 am

rubyfoo

if a miracle happens, we'll have 3 chows

10:54 am

rururocks

it would be a chow down..wow

10:54 am

rubyfoo

Max is the dog pictured here

10:54 am

crosshair

i am sorry you have a missing dog ruby:(

10:54 am

rururocks

he's going to come back ruby..

10:55 am

rururocks

someone may have him

10:55 am

rubyfoo

I'm afraid not. He must have been hit by a car (black dog, dead of night) and gone off into some shrubbery, somewhere, to die

10:55 am

rururocks

oh.. I hope not

10:56 am

rubyfoo

he is the autistic one and had never been off our property

10:56 am

rubyfoo

I am sick and sad about it, but there is nothing to be done or that could have been done

10:57 am

rubyfoo

I'll stop talking abut it; it isn't fair to everyone else

10:58 am

ivesy3

doesnt bother me ruby.. talk all you want better than keeping it in

10:58 am

flosey

but ruby, please know that your friends here are concerned

10:58 am

you are all wonderful!!!!

10:59 am

rubyfoo

my poor husband can't talk about it which is why I want to get him a chow pup as soon as possible

10:59 am

crosshair

you can share anything with us ((ruby))

11:00 am

ivesy3

how long does it take to get one ruby

11:00 am

scribekd

ruby-even as a lurker-my heart is with you-lost a cat like that yrs ago-still hurts. wishing you good luck!

11:01 am

rubyfoo

I don't know yet. We don't want to get another one from Canada because the two black ones have both been beautiful, but too inbred. So I've asked my friend in Italy to find me a European breeder

11:01 am

rubyfoo

ty scribekid

11:02 am

rubyfoo

getting one from No. America takes longer and I don't trust the breeder who sold us all five

11:02 am

rubyfoo

her chows are Mi-Pao, much more beautiful than Martha Stewart's "best in show" at Westminster

11:02 am

scribekd

we have rescue groups here & when I found a lab I got them to take her-do they have those in Canada? Max might be with them-

11:03 am

scribekd

sorry-rescue groups by breed

11:03 am

lilliann

you never know ruby, he might turn up when not expected.some dogs and cats who have disappeared have returned home after years away! is he chipped ruby?

11:03 am

rubyfoo

no, scribekid, we are in France and there are very few chows here and I'm sure that Max was the only black one in the whole valley

11:04 am

rururocks

I thought in France they were spelled Chaux

11:04 am

rubyfoo

the problem is that, although gentle, Max is extremely shy and would never go near anybody but us, so he could not even be rescued

11:04 am

rubyfoo

ty for making me smile, ruru, I can always count on you

11:04 am

crosshair

we had a german shepard come back to us after 2 weeks!

11:05 am

rubyfoo

I keep going out in the road at midnight, when all is quiet, so that, if he is hunkered down someplace, he can hear me, but it's not likely any more

11:05 am

rubyfoo

shepherds are much smarter

11:06 am

rubyfoo

3 freezing nights

11:07 am

MollyL

Ruby, you may be underestimating Max. Remember, instincts never leave domesticated animals.

11:07 am

crosshair

dogs can amaze you.you said friday? so only 3 days

11:08 am

rubyfoo

this is very comforting, {{everybody}}

11:08 am

the niehgbors have been wonderful

11:08 am

Riverdance

maybe there is a lady dog in heat close by - them males are known to travel many miles for a lady dog

11:08 am

crosshair

what river says is very true

11:08 am

rubyfoo

funny idea, river, but I don't think so

11:09 am

rubyfoo

Max is no st**

11:10 am

crosshair

nor am i,but the last thursday in every month sometimes is still fun:))

11:10 am

crosshair

lol

11:10 am

rubyfoo

and chows are not noted for their "capabilities"

11:10 am

Riverdance

lol

11:10 am

Riverdance

puppies do get born somehow....

11:10 am

crosshair

so never say never,sometimes a ole dog can have a new trick:)

11:10 am

Riverdance

and not all by the needle

11:11 am

rubyfoo

to breed chows, they have to muzzle the much more aggressive femailes and {help" the males

11:11 am

crosshair

ohhh..angry sex:)

11:12 am

rubyfoo

the females are the great guard dogs, we didn't have to neuter either of our males as they were so totally passive

11:12 am

I have to go to work.. I have to finish this up later.

11:12 am

rubyfoo

bye ruru

11:12 am

Riverdance

well maybe Max is finally coming into his oats....

11:12 am

MollyL

Again Ruby, don't underestimate Max. If he's been, um, "without" for a long time, a female in heat may have been what prompted him to bolt.

11:12 am

crosshair

max may like a dab of S+M :)

11:12 am

rubyfoo

I hope you're right! Everybody is looking for him

11:13 am

rubyfoo

hahahah

11:13 am

crosshair

ill stop if you all wish,just trying to make ruby smile just a bit

11:13 am

Remember, he's not so timid and shy that he didn't take advantage of that hole of escape.

11:13 am

crossy is being naughty

No clue Kap but that no make-up, string straight hair, bra-less look did women no favors.

11:19 am

Just catching up - Ruby, I am so sorry - I too think it's possible Max is just lying low, but when a loved animal is missing I know your stomach and your brain are both churning, and the pain is awful. We are all with you.

That whole "natural" no-makeup thing was OK when I was 12.

11:23 am

crosshair

where,s my pic?

11:23 am

Kaplan the Magne

But a whole generation did not learn how to apply makeup and prefers the washed-out look.

11:23 am

Kaplan the Magne

No pics- wife might get jealous. I want to preserve your marriage.

11:24 am

crosshair

i prefer make up that is lightly done and accents the beauty already there,not make up that is put on with a brick trowel and creates what does not exist

11:24 am

Kaplan the Magne

You know those "Stars Without Makeup" issues in the magazines? I realized that I look like a star without makeup ALL THE TIME.

11:25 am

Kaplan the Magne

Yes, my natural beauty is accentuated.

Although, come to think of it, I have seen a lot of them.

11:54 am

flosey

I had to google it

Yu4 & 5: root like vegetable.. Yu 4 has one less consonant.

2:48 pm

lynxxx

yu4.8 & 5.20 two ways of spelling a plant (cactus? but looks like a palm)

2:48 pm

cybernan

e + slang for 10 british pounds (I think)

2:49 pm

lynxxx

just one pound Nan

2:49 pm

cybernan

oh - ok

2:50 pm

cybernan

live and learn :)

2:50 pm

Judi

Pound, qu4, Euro. Make up your minds! The yanks are confused enough.

2:50 pm

uusue2

oh goodness, I have those (the yu plants) in my yard! How did I miss those?

2:50 pm

Judi

What does the 9 start with?

2:51 pm

uusue2

fr9/108

2:51 pm

lynxxx

we know Judi! dimes - cents - you even call some pennies don't you?

2:51 pm

cybernan

sorry - watching news for a bit (which I fr 9 do)

2:51 pm

uusue2

indeed we do, lynxxx - the one cent piece is commonly called a penny.

2:52 pm

cybernan

what do you aussies have? -- dollars and pence?

2:52 pm

car.eeyore

Got the 9! TY!

2:52 pm

Judi

Ty. Got the Fr9.

2:52 pm

uusue2

also, someone pointed out to me once that US coins don't have any numbers on them - if you don't read English you'll have a tough time figuring out which is which. Not very tourist-friendly.

2:53 pm

lynxxx

Just dollars and cents now...no slang anymore sadly...I liked quids etcs

2:53 pm

cybernan

lol - had never noticed that sue!

2:54 pm

cybernan

time for lunch, then a snooze i think -- see you at the flip :)

2:54 pm

lynxxx

bye Nan

2:54 pm

Judi

Money is so last century. We should all be using plastic or thumb prints or retina scans by now.

2:54 pm

car.eeyore

A nap sounds delicious! Enjoy Cybernan!

2:55 pm

lynxxx

They say cheques/checks will be obsolete by 2015...I know for the last 5 years I have only written out 4

2:56 pm

Judi

Yeah. Paper stuff is annoying. Just think of the billions governments would save by not having to mint the junk.

2:56 pm

uusue2

I've started writing a few more checks now that my credit cards are gone, but still it's mostly autopay and debit cards

2:57 pm

lynxxx

think of all the jobs that would be lost too

2:57 pm

Judi

There is that downside, lynxxx.

2:58 pm

Judi

I give up on this grid. 68 left and frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn.

2:59 pm

uusue2

96 left for me, would be nice to get half way but I don't plan to obsess about it

2:59 pm

Judi

I'm poofing out. See you kids tomorrow! *POOF*

2:59 pm

lynxxx

We seem to be having a run of tough grids - kind of nice for a change but you do need the time to enjoy them

2:59 pm

car.eeyore

C'mon Judi! I have 66 left too...we can do it together!

2:59 pm

lynxxx

bye Judi

2:59 pm

Bye Judi!

uusue2

I had a friend who went skiing on Baffin Island one July but that is way north of you (and he was Canadian anyway)

3:03 pm

crosshair

well,i am sure baffin island had a nice base

3:04 pm

car.eeyore

Crossy...why was he asking you about the skiing silly?

3:05 pm

uusue2

I'll bet it did :-)

3:05 pm

car.eeyore

I am not getting something of the story.

3:05 pm

crosshair

he wanted to ski,of course! lol

3:05 pm

uusue2

I think Crossy was illustrating the inanity of some of his visitors

3:05 pm

crosshair

his timing was juyst bad

3:05 pm

crosshair

just

3:06 pm

uusue2

just because Canada is north of us doesn't mean they have snow all the time....

3:06 pm

car.eeyore

Ohhhhhhhh! I see! DUh for me!

3:06 pm

uusue2

(except perhaps on Baffin Island, which is practically at the North Pole)

gas hit a new high today.i am selling regular for $1.31.9 a litre(times by 4.11 of imperial gallon price)

3:07 pm

crosshair

for*

3:07 pm

crosshair

x 3.78 for american

3:07 pm

bichon

gas is more expensive in Canada

3:07 pm

crosshair

as time goes on,it becomes harder and harder to dredge up the old measure;)

3:08 pm

JaxH

And even more expensive in the uk. Its Â£1.40 a litre here

3:09 pm

crosshair

yes,my uncle is paying though the nose for diesel in the U.K

3:09 pm

uusue2

it's more expensive in most Western countries than it is here. It was the equivalent of $4-$5 per gallon when I lived in Europe in the mid-1990s.

3:10 pm

crosshair

but distances are smaller there.yesterday i drove for 9 hours to deliver some paperwork to my da..do that in the uk and you are in the ocean:)

3:11 pm

uusue2

Cars are smaller there too. It was still pretty expensive.

3:13 pm

bichon

not only cars, but household appliances too.

3:13 pm

majmom

gas here is $1.37.7/liter

3:13 pm

crosshair

indeed,they were into conservation long before we in noirth america had to face up to the fact of it

3:15 pm

crosshair

i mean the new 2012 ford f 150 4x4 pick up .i slop 160 dollars of fuel into it..that is a months supply for my toyota echo,and the truck gets just under 700k for all that fuel..terrible

3:15 pm

crosshair

when we hit $1.50/litre this summer,you will be able to buy them for a song:)

3:16 pm

flosey

don't see many of the hummers around anymore - they must have been gas guzzlers

3:16 pm

flosey

and hi, back to hopefully finish up

3:16 pm

bichon

We university. The number of kids bring trucks and SUVs to school is astounding

3:16 pm

JaxH

My car does 500-600 miles on Â£70 of fuel. It's only small, but sporty looking and very economical

3:17 pm

bichon

*leave near a university

3:17 pm

crosshair

strangly enough flosey,they are not the worst..the ford i just talked about and the chev surburban/yukon are the worst

3:17 pm

uusue2

3:17 pm

bichon

later sue

3:18 pm

crosshair

tc suze;)

3:18 pm

flosey

ah, don't know those, not really up on makes and models, just always thought the hummers were the ugliest of all

3:19 pm

crosshair

they were in the top 3 to be sure

3:19 pm

crosshair

they became a joke,the owners were asked what they were compensating for...

3:20 pm

flosey

ah, there were a couple on the island here but haven't seen them in a long time

3:22 pm

flosey

3:35 pm

MollyL

I watched "Hugo" last night. Enjoyed it.

3:36 pm

crosshair

wish i could find a show to love again..paying almost 90 dollars a month to watch deja view and the odd movie on amc,other than that all i hear is "there is nothing on again"

3:36 pm

cosdem

my friend said hugo was "interesting"

3:36 pm

crosshair

i have heard good things about hugo

3:37 pm

cosdem

alcatraz is on tonight as well. two episodes.

3:37 pm

MollyL

Cinematography wise, Hugo is amazing. It's a cute story.

3:37 pm

MollyL

Are you sure Cos? No car races tonight? : P

3:37 pm

cosdem

yes lol i double checked.

3:38 pm

cosdem

a lot of tv shows will be preempted tomorrow though. it's "super tuesday"

3:38 pm

crosshair

"little bird tells me,they might try monday night nascar..

3:39 pm

MollyL

NASCAR has enough of a following that it might work. In the off football and baseball seasons.

3:40 pm

cosdem

god forbid lol.. i have to suffer football in the winter. baseball int he summer. id like one tv season with no sports cancelling my shows :)

3:40 pm

crosshair

the talking heads also agree it may work

3:40 pm

MollyL

As far as most movies go, I will pay a buck at Redbox for them and that's about as much as I will spend.

3:41 pm

crosshair

we do not have redbox,but i am seriously considering netflixs

3:41 pm

cosdem

netflix is good.. just stick with the streaming package. dont get the one dvd at a time. its worthless.

3:42 pm

cosdem

i live 100 feet away from a redbox so its nice. i can reserve a movie online and walk 100 feets, swipe my debit card and get the movie. and be back home all in 5 minutes

3:42 pm

crosshair

we get a all you can watch package here cosdem,but with a bit less variety than you..it is only our monopolistic data packs from our 3 big providers that limit us

3:44 pm

crosshair

biggest i can get is out top end pack that offers 250 gig..that is 2 movies a night with leeftover data for run of the mill daily computing

3:44 pm

MollyL

I do miss the rental stores though. Most of the time I'm in the mood for an old movie instead of a new release. So now I just frequent the 5 dollar bin at the Mart stores.

3:44 pm

cosdem

ah thats not fun but im sure it's still worth it. once the caption law goes in effect (all streaming movies and tv shows online must be captioned), We're getting rid of our dish and using netflix and hulu exclusively

3:44 pm

crosshair

a standard netfix movie will use 400 meg for a full lenght title

3:44 pm

dland4others

1st month is free w/ netflix. you got nothing to loose

3:44 pm

crosshair

we are not allowed hulu:(

3:45 pm

4:21 pm

lilliann

on bab anon and other people profiles mrp

4:21 pm

lilliann

but i must admit alot of us have missed licketys. we hope you are all ok.people have been coming in asking about you

4:22 pm

mrpresident

ok, good that people are taking care of that.

4:22 pm

lilliann

the lists aren't important...people are :)

4:22 pm

lilliann

the lists aren't important...people are :)

4:23 pm

lilliann

oops...sorry

4:23 pm

witchy

hi mr p hope all is well

4:27 pm

mrpresident

i can't say anything right now about anything lillian.
i am sick of being accused of being a mental case by a certain babbler who is rubbishing me on FB babble community at every opportunity.
I have a very tough time I am going through and will NOT be on for some time.
Tell my friends I miss them and luv them and not to worry. I will not be bullied and intimidated and humiliated by a 'perfect babbler who has NO problems' but choses to air my laundry in the most insideous and vexatious way right now.
you all know who you are my friends.... things will be very well.
I look forward to chatting at a later date and perhaps getting clues back to a daily time when I AM READY.
thanks for listening xox always

4:28 pm

witchy

do as i do mr p and don't bother with fb xx

4:29 pm

mrpresident

ps, I can't do clues as I am away from my computer for several weeks... so I am sorry for the inconvenience. xox again and *poof*

4:29 pm

fuzzybunny

mr p, ignore FB. Not a nice place!

4:30 pm

lilliann

i don't go on fb very much now so had no idea mrp.i'm sorry to hear about the trouble, you have enough to cope with and as i said clue lists aren't important...people are. nice to see you mrp.tc

4:32 pm

witchy

Don't forget that this is just a game and you are dealing with real life x

4:33 pm

witchy

and whoever they are on fb must not have a life]

4:35 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I think fracus should be a word.

4:35 pm

mrpresident

fuzzy and lill, I belong to the FB community babble page... this 'person' has no life... no morals, no forgiveness and am sick of the lies and put downs.
So, I just ignore that 'person', and it can peeve her to the point of still attacking me.

4:35 pm

mrpresident

i really have to go! luv to you xox!!

4:35 pm

mcurlschool

so sorry to hear about mrp being bashed around in our babble community. Seems to becoming more common. I do FB but don't check babble community group very often. Hang tough MrP--we love you!!!

4:36 pm

Kazzer99

same from me Mr P - we know all the previous hassle you have had in the past - keep strong XX

4:36 pm

lilliann

hugs mrp. look after yourself!

4:37 pm

lilliann

i'm on the babble page to but don't go in very often.i just play my word game and bingo now...sad i know!!lol

4:38 pm

cosdem

mrp! how ru

4:39 pm

cosdem

4:39 pm

lilliann

oh, good, i'm the the sad person cos :)

4:39 pm

cosdem

lol no. i'll be proud with you lol

4:40 pm

lilliann

i used to play farmville but have stopped that for now as i was getting fed up with it being slow and thrown off!

4:40 pm

lilliann

aww, thanks cos!! lol

4:41 pm

cosdem

yes me too.. im done with farmville .. its become a chore now. way too many goals and stuff

4:43 pm

lilliann

exactly!! i was spending more time doing that than anything else!! it should be fun not a chore as you say. i want to feel good not stressed.....perhaps i should stop babbling because the grids lately have been stressful!! lol

4:45 pm

Anniebrook

hello everyone

4:46 pm

lilliann

hi annie

4:46 pm

Anniebrook

hi lil :)

4:46 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Wow, a Babble community on FB where there are even more chats and discussions and group dynamics? I don't know how I feel about that...

4:47 pm

Kaplan the Magne

This is about all I can handle.

4:47 pm

cosdem

im in that group on fb and the chats are mostly about bacon and downtown abbey

4:48 pm

Kaplan the Magne

No daytime soaps? What good is that?

4:49 pm

cosdem

lol. although i do ignore most of the posts

4:49 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I didn't realize at first that there is this long-term group process here, and that there are often hurt feelings etc.

4:49 pm

MollyL

I just looked over the comments on the Babble community page and I have to say, I am at a loss as to what was referred to.

4:50 pm

cosdem

me too molly

4:51 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Like if someone gets on and says hello and doesn't get a greeting back. It seems to me that this is a rapid, playful and disorganized mode of communication, and expecting acknowledgement is kind of like expecting everyone in your subway car at rush hour to acknowledge you...

4:51 pm

Kaplan the Magne

it's sort of the fun of it, the randomness.

4:51 pm

MollyL

I certainly didn't see any bullying, intimidation or humiliation.

4:51 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I couldn't find it either Molly.

4:52 pm

cosdem

i do see some friction between two babblers but mrp isnt either one of them. i hope she is ok.

4:52 pm

MollyL

And as a moderator of several internet message boards I have always suggested that people keep their personal wars between each other in email and not bring them to the whole board to deal with.

4:53 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I prefer the drama on Downton Abbey, and the Dowager Countess can post her zingers here any time.

4:53 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I even prefer Sammi Brady.

4:53 pm

cosdem

i finally saw the first episode last night. and i was very impressed.

4:54 pm

Kaplan the Magne

THIS IS A GAME. Granted, it's a game, or puzzle, that consumes many waking hours...

4:54 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Cos, did the third ABfab ever get aired?

4:54 pm

MollyL

Fortunately Kap, very few choose to bring their drama here.

4:54 pm

cosdem

no not yet. iwa s wondering that a few mis ago. let me check

4:54 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Did anyone see "Awake" and was it good?

4:55 pm

cosdem

i havwe awake on my dvr. i will watch it tomorrow.. ... 3rd abfab will be late spring

4:55 pm

MollyL

Awake is strange. I'll have to see more of it to decide if I like it.

4:55 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Also- Mad Men in 3 weeks...

4:55 pm

cosdem

im looking forward to season 2 of the killing. it starts april 1st

4:55 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Anyone hanging in there with "Luck" on HBO?

4:56 pm

cosdem

brb

4:56 pm

Kaplan the Magne

The more TV series and on-line puzzles, the less we have to worry about tornadoes and Iran.

4:56 pm

Kaplan the Magne

More opiates for the masses.

4:57 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Anyone hear the terry Gross interview about breaking habits?

4:57 pm

Kaplan the Magne

And Rick or Rush.

4:59 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I know we don't do politics here, but I did wonder how Rush can be so against insurance payng for birth control when his oxycontin was covered- and viagra.

4:59 pm

Kaplan the Magne

By the way, if your Babble lasts more than 4 hours, call your doctor.

5:00 pm

MollyL

Kap, try AmazonUnbox for "Awake". I'm a prime member, but I think anyone can watch it for free.

5:00 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I have it on DVR.

5:00 pm

MollyL

Oh, okay. Let me know what you think.

5:00 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Just can't watch it yet because my oldest dau. is here with 3 guests for a conference.

5:01 pm

Kaplan the Magne

For 3 days.

5:01 pm

Kaplan the Magne

What a fracus.

5:02 pm

MollyL

Whee! House guests!

5:03 pm

Kaplan the Magne

the decor of our house is kind of in the style of those crowded NY apartments belonging to elderly academics who can't get rid of their books and antique appliances, and have too much ADD to clean properly.

5:04 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Oh, goody- 5 black rotary phones, six chrome toasters, and a mahogany box tv set from 1948

5:04 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Don't you want to sleep on the couch with my neurotic cat?

8:08 pm

lynxxx

hi wht

8:09 pm

Jacula

Hi wht.

8:09 pm

Shirlockc

not getting that co clue

8:10 pm

cosdem

c + not off + *i* tree, change the i to another vowel

8:10 pm

Jacula

Shirlockc - co* - a fiddle or a racket, something that cheats you, plus the first 3 letters of a green fronded plant often found near water.

8:10 pm

MollyL

Heya Jac, nice to see you here.

8:11 pm

Jacula

Hi Molly. Nice to see you, too.

8:11 pm

Shirlockc

chee, i'm so blind, thx all

8:12 pm

Jacula

You're doing okay Shir., and no blinder than anyone else if you can't 'see' the word straight off.

8:13 pm

Jacula

I'm always amazed, when I do my sweep of 'words not found' at how many plurals I haven't found or how many words I've seen, thought I'd typed in but haven't.

8:13 pm

rururocks

still don't see the ca 6/30 # 2

8:14 pm

lynxxx

Babble DOES lose words

8:14 pm

cosdem

first 3 letters of earthquake state + spanish what?

8:14 pm

lynxxx

me neither Ru

8:14 pm

Jacula

ruru - 2nd ca6.30 is something you put wine in to serve it 'at table'.

8:15 pm

lynxxx

oh geez - TY Jac, that was too easy

8:15 pm

rururocks

oh.. I drink straight from the bottle..no wonder..

8:15 pm

rururocks

thanks jax

8:15 pm

Jacula

lynxxx - I think you're right about Babble losing words. Either that, or I've been slowly going bonkers for the past 6 years or so!:-(

8:15 pm

rururocks

thank you jac that is

8:15 pm

Shirlockc

how about the te 7 / 8?

8:16 pm

lynxxx

First part of the 'phone & 'walk' really really fast

8:16 pm

MollyL

<-- Not at all surprised at the "straight from the bottle" comment : P

8:17 pm

Jacula

te7/8 is airfield radar.

8:17 pm

Jacula

*Giggling at straight from the bottle comments.*

8:18 pm

Jacula

Shirlockc - te4.4 + what the athlete did. Maybe long distance.

8:18 pm

MollyL

te7 is also a trademark, like Freon, so I don't get why it's accepted.

8:18 pm

Jacula

Also, for the last part of the te7/8 words, you could say that was what your not waterproof mascara did when you cried.

8:18 pm

Shirlockc

i could swear i tried that te word!

8:19 pm

rururocks

Ok.. ready for the f's

8:23 pm

wht

I don't know if I will make it past the c's

8:23 pm

Jacula

wht - do you do the grid in alphabetical order?

8:25 pm

wht

Once I start listing, I tend to do that, especially without Lickety.

8:25 pm

wht

It just makes it easier to keep track of where I am.

8:27 pm

Shirlockc

what's with lickety?

8:27 pm

rururocks

m's

8:27 pm

wht

Mr P is taking a break from doing the clues.

8:27 pm

MollyL

According to Mr P earlier, there will be no Lickety List for several weeks, due to the fact that she will be "away from her computer".

8:28 pm

Shirlockc

rats

8:29 pm

vanillaslice

just pooping in we have Jacula, thanks for the list I would never have finished without it

8:29 pm

vanillaslice

popping!!!!

8:29 pm

MollyL

Yes Jac, thank you for posting the list for us. It is very much appreciated.

8:30 pm

rururocks

could anyone point me towards the my 6

8:30 pm

vanillaslice

its me ruru

8:30 pm

MollyL

I my6 wouldn't dream of pointing you there.

8:30 pm

lbdawger

me, my**** and I, ru

8:31 pm

rururocks

oh my god

8:31 pm

MollyL

Enough clues, or do you need three or four more?

8:31 pm

rururocks

I'm blind as a bat

8:31 pm

vanillaslice

twas my last word and It took me ages to find

8:31 pm

rururocks

thanks ..I'm an idiot

8:31 pm

MollyL

No calling blind for that word. It's nasty, twisty, awful.

8:33 pm

rururocks

yes.. Jac.. thank you very much for the list..

8:33 pm

rururocks

I wish it were as easy for me as it is for you, dee, and others

8:33 pm

Jacula

I come into the grid and find words willy-nilly, then I come back for a more measured look at things. Later, I return to sweep up what's left - and that might take 3 sweeps. Then, I look through the chog for clues. Then I see if the Lickety list is up - always grateful for that for stragglers. I don't use the LicketyPro list, just the normal one. If that isn't available, I look to see if anyone has posted a list before me. But I never copy anyone's list to my bio or BabAnon or post a list in either place until I've finished the grid myself. Then I do my own list by copy, paste, removing 'look up word' and then removing all letters except the first 2. I also make a space between 1st 2 letter groups.

8:33 pm

Jacula

rur - y/w.

8:34 pm

Jacula

ruru - you are not an idiot!

8:34 pm

wht

Jac, you do a great job. Thanks.

8:34 pm

cosdem

the space is so much appreciated jac.. makes it easier to read

8:35 pm

Jacula

wht - Thank you. I'm just standing in until Lickety returns.

8:35 pm

Jacula

cosdem - yes, I find the space much more conducive to reading the list easily, too.

8:36 pm

cosdem

i do appreciate anyone who posts a list but i do recognize the effort you make jac so thank you

8:37 pm

MollyL

I appreciate all the people who copy lists into their profiles. It makes finding a list and directing people to one so much easier.

8:38 pm

rururocks

I love finishing grids..

8:39 pm

lynxxx

Hooray for Ru!!

8:39 pm

MollyL

And Jac, from what has been said here, I don't think Lickety himself is returning. But we will get the Lickety list when Mr. P will provide it.

8:39 pm

Jacula

Cos - thanks, but sometimes I do the grid all on my own and sometimes I look to other lists to fin my last few. If I hadn't finished the grid but saw the need for a list and directed someone to another person's list, I would say that I had done so. The thing is, we are all here at different times, have different sets of friends we see at the times we play, and so ALL lists are welcome.

8:40 pm

cosdem

agreed. if i ever get good enough to do a grid without alist, i'll make my own too :)

8:41 pm

Jacula

Molly - Thanks for the info. I'm sorry Lickety is not well yet, or not around, whichever it is, but glad to hear MrP is okay.

8:41 pm

Good Enough

i'm good enough but i need a list too ;)

8:42 pm

cosdem

mrp said she is away from her computer for a few weeks

8:42 pm

Jacula

Good - there's one in my profile, if you need it! LOL

8:43 pm

lynxxx

Gotta run - bye everyone

8:43 pm

jmcnrick

bye lynxxx

8:43 pm

jmcnrick

hi all

8:43 pm

Jacula

'Byeee lynxxx.

8:44 pm

cosdem

molly i just checked my dvr. it is indeed recording 2 hours of alcatraz

8:44 pm

Jacula

(Must she run? I don't 'do running! LOL)

8:44 pm

Jacula

Hello jmc.

8:44 pm

wht

Can I get a clue for the last co7 and co6?

8:44 pm

MollyL

At the rate I'm going Cos, it will take me two or three days to watch all that. : )

8:45 pm

cosdem

lol.. ill prob watch it all tonight. busy tomorrow with the democratic caucuses then election results on tv

8:46 pm

wht

I have the co6,24 which might be a plural nickname for Iowa State.

8:46 pm

MollyL

<---Only thinks running is necessary when there is a fire or natural disaster. Sometimes I think "gotta run" is a euphemism here, but that's just me.

8:46 pm

Jacula

Molly - if I can check a 10,000 word m/s of my own and read the first 3 chapters of a friend's book - you can watch 2 hours of dvd.

8:47 pm

jmcnrick

i like to watch other people running

8:47 pm

MollyL

I can Jac, but it's hard with the constant interruptions of daily life. I like to catch at least an hour in one watching. Which is why I save a lot of that for the weekend.

8:48 pm

Jacula

co7/36 relates to the co6.24 before it. Co6/24 after that is the dogwood shrub/tree.

8:49 pm

Jacula

Molly - 'constant interuptions of daily life'? Tell me about it! No, thinking about it, don't! I know!

8:49 pm

wht

OK I have the dogwood, I need the co6 before the co7

8:50 pm

Jacula

wht - add another vowel to the end of the co5.14 before it.

8:52 pm

wht

ty Jac. That was a nasty twisty word I have never seen before.

8:52 pm

wht

c's corralled

8:52 pm

MollyL

This is a nasty, twisty grid full of evil words. People have been running, screaming from it all day.

8:52 pm

wht

And d's done.

8:53 pm

welki

hi folks

8:53 pm

Jacula

LOL Molly. Have they?

8:53 pm

balletslippers

(out of lurk mode) hello everyone! clue for the i perhaps?

8:54 pm

MollyL

The combination of difficult grids + no Lickety is making people grumpy. My6 included.

8:54 pm

wht

Are those the runners jmc was watching?

8:54 pm

Jacula

Oh dear!

8:55 pm

jmcnrick

i was watching nrkii kje and redturtlehead

8:55 pm

balletslippers

luckily I haven't found myself wanting to finish (ie need a list) lately... been so busy that finishing a grid has become stressful.

8:55 pm

Jacula

Hello balletslippers. Both i words are intestinal word.

8:56 pm

jmcnrick

hi ballet

8:56 pm

balletslippers

thanks jac!

8:56 pm

balletslippers

hi jmc!

8:56 pm

welki

hi ballet, hey jmc - safe home?

8:56 pm

jmcnrick

i since i just got home after leaving last night after 9 central i think i will not start this

8:56 pm

Jacula

ballet - if finishing a grid becomes stressful, don't finish. Just play for as long as you enjoy playing.

8:56 pm

jmcnrick

yes yes welki--missed a couple of turns but who cares?

8:56 pm

balletslippers

hi welki!

8:57 pm

welki

would you believe the pic will still not show up for me when i click on your icon?

8:57 pm

balletslippers

that's what I've been doing, jac. Life has gotten pretty crazy since we got the little puppy. She's way more of a handful than I ever would have imagined.

8:57 pm

jmcnrick

oh dear i will see if i can post it on fb then

8:57 pm

Jacula

Hi jmc. Glad you got home safely.

8:58 pm

MollyL

Welki, try clicking on her icon, right clicking in a white spot and hitting RELOAD from the drop down menu.

8:58 pm

balletslippers

how about I ask.... may I have the stats for the i please?

8:58 pm

welki

no right click on this mac - and i've tried it on a pc, must be something wonky on the server

8:58 pm

welki

but thanks just the same :)

8:59 pm

Jacula

ballet - il5.14 & il5/12.

8:59 pm

MollyL

No, it's a Mac thing. I gave you PC instructions. Either that or it's pancake hat interference. : )

8:59 pm

jmcnrick

ty jac

8:59 pm

balletslippers

yeah... thought they would be il. Thanks, jac!

8:59 pm

jmcnrick

i posted it on fb but someone else will have to tag it

9:00 pm

welki

i've tried it on my pcs - mini and desktop - the pic won't appear

9:00 pm

jmcnrick

pancakes do cause internet interference--i think you are right molls

9:00 pm

welki

there it is! but WHERE ARE YOU?!

9:01 pm

jmcnrick

i was taking the picture

9:01 pm

balletslippers

9:01 pm

jmcnrick

redturtle says she has a good one of me on the beach

9:01 pm

welki

ty for posting it on fb - uhm, next time, set it on a timer!

9:02 pm

MollyL

Half in and half out of the water with a burly man?

9:03 pm

jmcnrick

oh the silly camera i have doesn't have a timer

9:03 pm

jmcnrick

i wish molls

9:04 pm

jmcnrick

i pretended for a short while that i was as neat as the rest of them but finally just ran into the waves in my jeans

9:04 pm

Jacula

men surfing? Pancakes? I should be going to bed now, but I'm hungry! LOL

9:04 pm

MollyL

Neat? People are neat on vacation?

9:05 pm

welki

healthy appetites :)

9:05 pm

Jacula

Molly - I think 'neat' in this case means 'as slim as'?

9:05 pm

jmcnrick

well they put on old shoes to go to the beach and such

9:06 pm

jmcnrick

some people are always neat and that is fine with me

9:06 pm

balletslippers

*still thinking about pancakes*

9:06 pm

welki

was it too cold for bathing suits?

9:06 pm

MollyL

I'll take your unfettered, free styling dash at the waves in your jeans any day.

9:07 pm

wht

f's finished

9:07 pm

balletslippers

my grandmother is always saying she wants me to dive into the waves at the beach on my wedding day... in my wedding dress!! eep!

9:07 pm

jmcnrick

it was for me but nrkii went into the water and i think maybe redturtle did too--i just waded and let the waves catch me

9:08 pm

balletslippers

but I bet it would feel so freeing and delightful...

9:08 pm

Jacula

I can't be bothered to make pancakes at this time, much as I would like to, but I can go to bed a grab a snoring man, whose snores could perhaps eventually sound like surf as I fall into sleep, if I can with him bl**dy snoring. LOL. See you all next grid. Happy Babbling! x

9:08 pm

MollyL

Sweet dreams Jac.

9:08 pm

balletslippers

night jac

9:08 pm

welki

g'night, jacula - sweet surfing

9:08 pm

jmcnrick

hmmm better not be a silk wedding dress then-- go for something that doesn't become transparent and dries quickly

9:08 pm

jmcnrick

bye jac

9:09 pm

balletslippers

i think it's a non-issue as I doubt I'll get married on the beach, jmc. but yes, I could see some transparency issues here.

9:09 pm

MollyL

Ballet, I love the way your Gram thinks. : )

9:09 pm

balletslippers

me too, Molly! She's quite the character.... when I was in high school, she told me I didn't drink and party enough. :P

9:10 pm

MollyL

<---WILL be that kind of Gram

9:10 pm

balletslippers

wonderful!

9:11 pm

balletslippers

jmcnrick

9:12 pm

balletslippers

haha oh!! thanks, wht. got it.

9:12 pm

balletslippers

and molly!

9:13 pm

balletslippers

a beach wedding might be nice, but the sand and the wind.... and then the family members complaining that it's not in a church. I think I'd rather not go to the trouble since it wouldn't be something very important to me.

9:16 pm

balletslippers

alright well nbs and nbt for me. I shall pop off to bed now as I'm right exhausted. Dishes might just be ignored until morning like the vacuuming has been. :) *hugs* night all!!

9:17 pm

jmcnrick

bye, ballet

9:17 pm
