8:44 am
KatieMcG
I will be lucky to make it to 100 to go before I either hit the list or give up. My days of finishing the grid are long gone
8:46 am
wvteach
no Lickety list today :(
8:46 am
hokie carla
yeah, I spent a couple of years at the beginning finishing the grid every day at all costs, and then I just let go and took several years off. Have just started back recently (to help my scramble with friends games) and luckily I don't feel like I have to finish.
8:47 am
jmcnrick
mmm from the conversation sounds like this one is a toughy
8:47 am
jmcnrick
hi hokie nice to meet you
8:48 am
KatieMcG
I used to finish (again for the first couple of years) and played every year. I gave up for Lent in 2009 and haven't finished a grid since. I play most days but rarely for more than an hour and spend more time chatting than getting words lol
8:48 am
KatieMcG
It's not the friendliest grid jmc
8:49 am
hokie carla
hi, jmc. I think it's full of crazy words that I don't use a lot.
8:49 am
hokie carla
and I def. won't be finishing if there's no lickety list.
8:49 am
jmcnrick
i still try to finish if i don't have a big work day. . . but i clearly prefer to chat!
8:50 am
KatieMcG
we have a great day weather wise so I am off out in to the sun in 10 mins
8:50 am
jmcnrick
this last couple of weeks i have contented myself with nbt but i am guessing i won't even get that today
8:50 am
hokie carla
Up to 22 now! I'm sure you all find my word count update riveting. ;-)
8:50 am
jmcnrick
and i am having a rare day off!
8:51 am
jmcnrick
*gets popcorn to watch hokie's word count*
8:51 am
jmcnrick
haha i only have 3
8:51 am
KatieMcG
you are so good at this though jmc
8:51 am
crosshair
i also used to kill myself to finish every grid for the first year,but then you relax as you learn the the interesting bits about babble are not always about finishing a grid
8:52 am
jmcnrick
?? i am good at chatting!
8:52 am
KatieMcG
I'm always impressed with your clues :)
8:53 am
jmcnrick
haha that is because i come at different times during the day and get some of the bi words. . .then cluing them are easy
8:53 am
crosshair
i am amazing at chatting,my mrs says my tongue is hinged at both ends and my thoughts can bore anyone within seconds.on top of that i am a taurus which means you know my entire life story in 20 minutes
8:53 am
hokie carla
I'm awful bad to chat and then try a word in the chat box. I apologize in advance.
8:53 am
jmcnrick
but ty you for the compliment *curtsies*
8:54 am
KatieMcG
crossy - people across the world can't see a pack of bacon without thinking of you :) I think that is some achievement
8:55 am

phantom victor
8:55 am

that the secret katie.keep the ladies thinking of you..no matter what it takes:))
8:55 am
jmcnrick
my phantom is idiot
8:56 am
KatieMcG
I nearly put my phantom in and then realised it really was a word - I just don't normally get 7 letter words without clues so assumed it was a phantom
8:57 am
crosshair
i can see it now,womenbabblers all over the world,making brakfast.they start to take the bacon out of the fridge and bust out laughing, husband says"what,s so funny dear,want to share?" and they say while giggling madly "sorry dear,inside joke"
8:57 am
hokie carla
phantom minion, too, though that may not even be considered a word.
8:57 am
jmcnrick
haha i always check my phantoms out first. . . i have been surprised too many times!
8:57 am
hokie carla
I'm actually frying up some bacon right now. I'm afraid I don't want to know.
8:57 am
Anniebrook
hokie, take off the first letter and you have a word
8:57 am
jmcnrick
minion is definitely a word
8:57 am
KatieMcG
hokie it is a word :) Cross is obsessed with bacon
8:58 am

hi jmc and youre welcome katie
8:58 am

well,obsession is a little strong i would say..more like a gourmand
8:59 am
hokie carla
I definitely have argued with some game about the validity of the word minion!
8:59 am
KatieMcG
no I'm not backing down on the word obsession :)
8:59 am
jmcnrick
well i just checked it and the box says does not exist in the puzzle so babble takes the word
8:59 am
jmcnrick
i vote for obsession
9:00 am
jmcnrick
of course some of it has been projected on the poor boy!
9:01 am
KatieMcG
actually the thing I remember most about crossy was when it was his anniversary and he was preparing breakfast for Mrs Crossy, he was taking so much care over it and really wanted to make her day special, always smile when I think of that

Stid, Any plans for June 2nd? I understand it may be someone's Birthday....
10:27 am
stidmama
If I can afford it, there is a "Mother Earth News" sponsored fair in Puyallup, but no -- we don't do anything special in June.
10:28 am
stidmama
The boys' birthdays are in the winter, and they didn't want anything this year, either so I think our years of "special" days are over.
10:28 am

my theory about birthdays is that they are special and fun and the older you are, the longer you get to celebrate.
10:30 am

I am finally finished with the grid on 4/5 and for all so here is a story of clues for you. I live in a co 5/14 off the Taco 5/14 Parkway. I live close to Co4/5ecticut. I like where I live. My neighbors are very co7/36. My very nice neighbor, Do 5/12, often di 4/5s my phone number and invites me over to drink co7/32 with her Another neighbor knocks on my do 4/5 every year at Christmas and gives me a bottle of wine.I don't drink wine, but I don't mi4/6.It's the thought that counts. One of my neighbors is a gr6/27.He always brings me vegetables. I do have one neighbor who is a sn 5/10, but I just ignore her. Si 5/12 hubby wants computer, I am going to go change my ic4/5 for tomorrow.Then I'm going to go watch the film Cr4/6odile Dundee. Go 4/7night to my fellow babblers! I will see you manana.

Hello stidmama! How are you? Welcome back to chog.

sleeping in... on a weekend? you have to be joking! The procedure is to awaken suddenly around 4:30, toss and turn for two hours and then jump out of bed as if your pillow was on fire and hit the ground running... Sleeping in is for Monday, when you forget to turn the alarm back on...
