I knew it would take me eo 4/4 to finish grid so I quit after finding 195 words.Now here is a story of clues. One time I had a little tiny accident with an ir 4/4ing board.The re6/21 of my accident was a broken index finger. My finger got jammed while trying to fold the board.Boy did that st5/14!When it first happened, it fe 4/7 like I had lo 4/4 a finger for su 4/5 and that it was a go5/14. I sh 4/5 my eyes in fear of what I may see when I looked down.But no4/4 of that happened When I looked down, I was glad to see finger was not go4/6. There was not even a sl 4/4 in my skin and no blood.I was not alo4/4 when it happened.My husband was a he 4/5 and raced me to the ER.Husband was so st 6/18ed about getting me to the ER quickly that he used his horn as a si 5/10 and he beeped it whenever someone was in front of him.I gave him a st5/10 look since I believed that we were going to get into a car accident.Fortunately,I wasn't at the hospital for too lo 4/6. The doctor se 4/4 me home with my finger re 4/4ing in a splint.My finger was so4/4 after that,but it finally healed and got st 6/24 again. I do hope you have found more words to add to your li 4/4, at least the easy on4/4.I am going to get off my tu4/6ie now go watch "The Untouchables", a movie about Eliot Ne 4/4. I will retu4/5 to this websi 4/4 later on toni4/4 before I reti4/4 for the re4/4 of the evening. By the way,no4/4 of my story was tr4/5. It was all made up.

Ru, why don't you copy and paste into Lickety?

1:50 pm

rururocks

too much hassle

1:51 pm

MollyL

Not as much hassle as doing your own list. And nothing is out of order

1:51 pm

MollyL

I don't think highlighting your word list, copying and bulk adding in Lickety is much trouble at all.

1:52 pm

rururocks

i'm old-fashioned

1:53 pm

rururocks

I tried pasting to lickety and it didn't work for me

1:53 pm

Hi I'm back

1:55 pm

Didn't work? You click on Bulk Add/Grab at the top of Lickety and then paste them in the box at the bottom. Poof, all words in order.

Ty for that bulk/add Molly! I never knew it existed, and here I've been typing words twice! grrr

2:12 pm

dianedecoder

hi golfnut.... :-)) Did you get that terrible storm yesterday afternoon ??

2:13 pm

Altagolfnut5

hi Diane, yes, but think it was worse elsewhere. We missed the tornado. and the hail,was small

2:14 pm

Altagolfnut5

lots of rain though!

2:14 pm

dianedecoder

Red Deer really got it!.... we just had the "fringe" winds, some thunder and then heavy rain for a short while before it settled into a nicer rain.

2:14 pm

Bugsaw

there was a tornado in Alberta?

2:15 pm

dianedecoder

several smaller ones, Bugsaw...mostly in farm areas... a few outbuildings etc. were damaged

2:15 pm

Altagolfnut5

actually, Alberta had 5 tornados yesterday!

2:16 pm

dianedecoder

A question, golfnut... are you male or female ? because a golfnut could be either !

2:16 pm

Bugsaw

Ever since I saw Wizard of Oz as a little kid, I have been frightened of tornados but never of Alberta

2:16 pm

Altagolfnut5

female:)

2:16 pm

dianedecoder

I know where you work, but that could also be either/or :-)

2:16 pm

Bugsaw

golfnut has a pink shirt on diane so she is female

2:17 pm

dianedecoder

We had a very bad tornado 30 years ago, this July 29....

2:17 pm

Altagolfnut5

lol Bug, Alberta averages 19 tornados a year! A fact I actually had to look up because I didn't believe it either! But it usually hits all those opens fields we have

2:18 pm

Altagolfnut5

was that the one in Edmonton? that was 30 years ago???

2:18 pm

Bugsaw

I think I remember that one diane. It hit a trailer court where a neighbour's sister lived. He was frantic for hours not knowing if she was safe.

2:18 pm

dianedecoder

and the "belt" where golfnut lives now, and was my hometown used to get some awesome storms, and we saw many funnel clouds, but none of the larger ones ever touched down.

2:19 pm

dianedecoder

yes, in Edmonton.... many deaths. ... most of the deaths in the trailer court :-(

2:20 pm

dianedecoder

OOOOPS that was only 25 years ago.... it was my daughter's 5th anniversary..... sorry

2:20 pm

rururocks

any help with the su 8 please?

2:20 pm

Altagolfnut5

2:20 pm

Glantarell

su8 - the things you ut up against a loan?

2:20 pm

dianedecoder

2:21 pm

2:21 pm

rururocks

thank you glant

2:22 pm

Altagolfnut5

I was golfing at the time for that one, we could see it building, such green clouds, then veered off. About 1/2 hour later they came and got all the hospital personnel off the golf course

2:23 pm

Bugsaw

2:24 pm

Glantarell

help with re7/28 or re7/32?

2:24 pm

dianedecoder

scary.... we had friends there too. And, I agree with the cloud colour... ominous and wild. We watched the one 25 years ago from our front step... it was about 5 miles away and followed a path between us ( Sherwood Park ) and Edmonton.... those big power lines crumpled like matchsticks !

2:25 pm

Altagolfnut5

wow

2:26 pm

cosdem

hi everyone. el6 the first lease?

2:33 pm

2:35 pm

3:44 pm

magazinemom

Pops Goes the 4th with the Boston Pops Orchestra is my fave. On A&E, I think

3:44 pm

MollyL

You can see glimpses of all the people who braved the crowds and the heat to go down to DC for the show. It should be even worse this year since they canceled the local fireworks.

3:46 pm

MollyL

Ooo, that is good too Mag. I will switch back and forth.

3:50 pm

cosdem

i went to thenational firework show in dc in 2001

3:50 pm

cosdem

not worth the effort :)

3:51 pm

MollyL

All the getting there and finding a spot and waiting and waiting is just not worth it. I don't know how people do it with kids.

3:51 pm

cosdem

and i went to one in stone mountain, ga in 2004... even bigger headache. no place to move. strollers everywhere

3:52 pm

Hi Molly - won't be here long - hubby already in bed - with flu, I think

4:06 pm

torgone

Sounds like a good reason not to go to bed ..

4:10 pm

MollyL

99Â° and possibility of thunder storms right around fireworks time. Two great reasons NOT to be downtown today.

4:15 pm

torgone

I've always liked fireworks, but I haven't left the house to watch them since my kids were small ..

4:17 pm

Kazzer99

I am back again - had to do him a lemsip

4:21 pm

MollyL

We have a place close by, where we can see them...far from the maddening crowd...but they are canceled this year, due to the severe storms we had last Friday.

4:23 pm

redturtlehead

Hey all, they are setting them off in my parking lot....loud and rainy but I like them, just hope no one gets hu**.

4:23 pm

4:27 pm

Kazzer99

i had a friend who 'mended' his keyboard using superglue

4:27 pm

redturtlehead

I need to hav it checed out but I've been really busy and stressed, thankfully it is that letter and not E...or A..

4:28 pm

7:30 pm

stidgmere

I put tomorrows socks well back from edges so those don't disappear. I made a cake with fluffy frosting that the boys can eat. You can either take it to your house or have them come by and have dessert. The cake is not a safe one for you, unfortunately.

7:30 pm

stidmama

good thinking! LOL I will hold it hostage so they visit...

:-) we'll see. I am having to stay pretty non-fat at the moment. Mostly rice and veggies right now.

7:32 pm

jesdraggon

you're leaving your poor puppy behind? sad puppy.

7:33 pm

stidgmere

Sad us. No room at most inns for puppy guys as heavy as ours. 20 pounds seems to be a favorite size for most lodgings. Ours is worth 4 of those.

7:33 pm

stidmama

yes, but puppy gets me while they are gone and I am WAY more fun (taught him to play soccer, for example)

7:33 pm

stidmama

*wicked daughter look*

7:34 pm

jesdraggon

heh. i ran into the same issue with apartments when i tried to live in seattle...

7:34 pm

jesdraggon

does he get along with yours, stid?

7:34 pm

stidgmere

Yes, if we said we had four dogs, maybe we could pull it off.

7:34 pm

stidmama

no idea, we haven't let them be together yet -- long story, will tell you another time.

7:35 pm

jesdraggon

they probably have a limit on how many you can have too :P

7:35 pm

jesdraggon

going to try them together this time? or are you house sitting as well as puppy sitting?

7:35 pm

stidmama

house sitting

7:38 pm

jesdraggon

nom nom! home made croissants :)

7:38 pm

stidmama

ah, the amazing bruce strikes again?

7:38 pm

Minveryork

Good evening to my fellow babblers! How is everyone?

7:38 pm

jesdraggon

7:38 pm

Minveryork

By the way, congratulations to all the finishers! YAY!

stidmama

7:39 pm

stidmama

7:40 pm

Minveryork

7:40 pm

Minveryork

Thanks stidmama!

7:40 pm

Dorens

i'd be happy to sample it all!

7:40 pm

stidmama

Rs removed... I can be unbiased... LOL but I can't eat most things. I think maybe we could get Min to do it? *looks hopefully at Min*

7:40 pm

stidmama

LOL and DOREN! ((hugs))

7:41 pm

dianedecoder

7:42 pm

stidmama

7:43 pm

dianedecoder

7:43 pm

Minveryork

dianedecoder

7:44 pm

stidmama

Mother one of the OR 5/10 is that perfume root I am so allergic to!

7:44 pm

stidmama

so happy for your family. Must be nice to have "gotten through" two generations already. *wistful kids-still-here mama look*

7:45 pm

jesdraggon

really in the can "can they go so I can miss them" phase, aren't you, stid? :D

7:46 pm

stidmama

yes, jes -- it's been a hard week already. Feeling the effects of full adolescence right now. *sigh*

7:46 pm

dianedecoder

I must add a few newer pictures to my flickr site.

7:47 pm

stidmama

7:47 pm

stidmama

7:48 pm

MollyL

You breathe through them

7:48 pm

stidmama

*FISH SLAP* >*)--(((---<<

7:48 pm

stidmama

LOL thanks Molly

7:48 pm

jesdraggon

thanks molly

7:52 pm

stidmama

ack. NOT my last N word. NE 6/8/7 series please? a nudge, a push, a shove...

7:53 pm

MollyL

A particle, a state of mental distress, a kind of bomb

7:53 pm

Scrabbler

Hi kids. A big grid so I will dive in and type away for a bit.

7:53 pm

Uneaixoise

he7/32 please?

7:53 pm

jesdraggon

welcome, scrabbler

7:54 pm

stidmama

hey scrabs! did the baby raccoon's mother show up?

7:54 pm

stidmama

thanks molly *thinking*

7:54 pm

Scrabbler

I am on my back deck watching 2 baby raccoons forage under the bird feeders.

7:54 pm

Uneaixoise

tx molly!!

7:54 pm

stidmama

got them all.

7:54 pm

stidmama

Ns nixed

7:54 pm

jesdraggon

thanks molly

7:55 pm

MollyL

he7...he + this is a web ****...use a double consonant in the middle

7:55 pm

Scrabbler

No Mama yet. Maybe she's sleeping with the other 6 sibs and these 2 snuck out.

7:55 pm

stidmama

bonsoir, chere Une! comment ca va? are there fireworks where you are?

7:55 pm

jesdraggon

thanks again, molly

7:56 pm

stidmama

I would like associate myself with jes' comment...

7:56 pm

Uneaixoise

hey, stid -- will be fireworks at the big downtown display at the river but no residential stuff -- severe drought . . .

7:56 pm

stidgmere

All for me now. Talk to you latter mama.

7:56 pm

stidmama

figured they might have done something like that Une.

7:56 pm

jesdraggon

g'night, stidg, travel safely!

7:57 pm

Uneaixoise

tx for the he7 molly

7:57 pm

stidmama

Wish we had a ban... there are already some M80s going off.

7:57 pm

stidmama

talk to you later Mother

7:58 pm

Uneaixoise

stid, that doesn't mean there weren't a bunch of idiots selling them at interstate exits :-(

7:58 pm

Scrabbler

I hear local fireworks too--isolated ones. Closest "show" is 8 miles away.

7:58 pm

stidmama

yep, I know. But it at least diminishes how many idiots are setting them off (because the less idiot among them obey the ban).

7:59 pm

Scrabbler

We are cose enough to PA that people drive an hour south and buy them legally there.

7:59 pm

Uneaixoise

hope so -- it would take so little at this point to start a fire . . .

8:00 pm

Uneaixoise

ditto here, scrabs, and at the KY bordre

8:00 pm

Scrabbler

We need rain too.

8:00 pm

Uneaixoise

*border

8:00 pm

stidmama

It is legal for non-tribal members to purchase fireworks on tribal lands... illegal to set them off anywhere else without a special permit. Of course that doesn't stop most people.

8:01 pm

Uneaixoise

it's awful here -- 100 every day and everything's brown . ..

8:01 pm

stidmama

apparently it's raining where carleekat is. saw a lovely photo on fb. LOL

8:01 pm

Scrabbler

I saw that too, Stid.

8:02 pm

stidmama

okay, help with my last four LO words.. LO 7/8, and the other two 8s please...

8:02 pm

Scrabbler

We had rain on Monday but overall we are behind.

8:02 pm

dianedecoder

we have very strict fireworks laws here in our province, and each community can even enlarge upon those laws as they choose.

8:02 pm

Uneaixoise

nary a drop in a month . . .

8:03 pm

Uneaixoise

8:03 pm

Uneaixoise

8:07 pm

stidmama

so now I need the first and last LO 8 please?

8:07 pm

Scrabbler

This is a cool grid--we have -ness, -ing, -iest..

8:07 pm

Uneaixoise

lo8 quality of being sluggish, ending in loch ****

8:09 pm

jesdraggon

holy crap scrab! i had totally missed the -ing!

8:10 pm

stidmama

rofl jes! took me a while too

8:10 pm

Scrabbler

No way, jes.

8:10 pm

Uneaixoise

have at it, jes!! LOL

8:10 pm

MollyL

If you are bereft, you are for****. The state of that word, whatever that means.

8:10 pm

Scrabbler

and there is -ist, and -est...you name the suffix, I think it's here

8:10 pm

jesdraggon

way. i am quite oblivious at times...

8:10 pm

stidmama

thanks again molly

8:11 pm

Uneaixoise

tx again, molly!!

8:11 pm

stidmama

ACK! got the first LO 8 *sigh*

*facepalm*

8:11 pm

stidmama

Ls licked

8:11 pm

Uneaixoise

8:13 pm

jesdraggon

helter is too a word! crazy dictionary...

8:13 pm

stidmama

8:13 pm

Anniebrook

put an ess in front of that, jes

8:14 pm

stidmama

hey annie!

8:14 pm

Scrabbler

And Annie has arrived.

8:14 pm

jesdraggon

hi annie :) welcome to the chaos of massive-grid night :)

8:14 pm

Anniebrook

I am passing through..hope everyone had a nice 4th

8:15 pm

stidmama

tolerable so far, annie -- you?

8:15 pm

Anniebrook

pretty good, watching the Macy's fireworks from my window

8:16 pm

Uneaixoise

how cool, annie!

8:16 pm

Scrabbler

I always laugh in the summer. I shower in the morning to wake up, put on sunscreen, and sometimes bug spray, sweat all day, shower in the evening to wipe off the grime...

8:16 pm

stidmama

that does sound lovely, annie

8:16 pm

Scrabbler

Somebody just set off a firecracker and I jumped, it was so loud

8:16 pm

Anniebrook

me too, scrabbs

8:17 pm

Scrabbler

Nice view, Annie.

8:18 pm

Scrabbler

Grr, more loud pops.

8:19 pm

Anniebrook

I am going to say goodnight now and read. No more pops for Scrabbs. Bye dear babblers

8:19 pm

stidmama

I might resort to a beer later... I hate incendiaries. Hoses hooked up to house, ready to go. Not usually a problem... but it's not my cup of tea.

8:19 pm

Uneaixoise

gnite, annie!

8:19 pm

stidmama

sweet dreams annie

8:20 pm

Scrabbler

It is the animals I worry about--domestic and wild--hearing the booms.

8:21 pm

Scrabbler

Crap, the baby raccoons are at the other end of my deck!

8:21 pm

Uneaixoise

one of my 3 is sooo scared of loud noises!

8:21 pm

Scrabbler

Sleep wel, Annie.

8:21 pm

stidmama

yep. speaking of critters, need to give worf his gagh.

8:22 pm

Scrabbler

Who and what?

8:22 pm

mab

i dislike the loud sounds too. they scare the cats and me and it sounds like war, which is obviously the idea.

8:22 pm

Scrabbler

Now I smell the burned chemicals

8:27 pm

stidmama

worf = klingon turtle; gagh = wriggling worms

8:27 pm

Scrabbler

LOL

8:27 pm

dianedecoder

lol

8:28 pm

dianedecoder

Scrabbler

8:30 pm

Scrabbler

8:30 pm

dianedecoder

Scrabbler

Yep, I tried it eons ago.

8:30 pm

8:46 pm

dianedecoder

my last word was us 6/24 and with that, I'll follow them out of the game. Night night to everyone.

8:46 pm

MollyL

I agree, it should be two words, or at least hyphenated.

8:47 pm

dianedecoder

agreed.... but who are we to say ? lol

8:47 pm

MollyL

Enjoy your evening Diane

8:47 pm

majmom

any clues for this word or words?

8:48 pm

mab

is the third letter approx in the middle of the alphabet?

8:48 pm

dianedecoder

some very strange words in here today.... e.g. te 8/40 ...seems redundant.

8:48 pm

dianedecoder

lol

8:48 pm

mab

one of those stupid words

8:49 pm

dianedecoder

Thanks Molly... goodnight to you :-)

8:49 pm

MollyL

I probably don't belong here, in the non-fireworks loving crowd. : D

8:49 pm

cosdem

I love them too

8:50 pm

mab

oh you always belong, molly. you too cos.

8:50 pm

cosdem

one of the very few things I can hear without a hearing aid so yeah I like them lol

8:50 pm

MollyL

The DC show is just amazing.

8:51 pm

mab

a few years in d.c. we observed the fireworks from the newsweek offices. lots of comforts and none of the noise.

8:52 pm

MollyL

I would love to watch them from a nice, luxury boat on the river.

8:52 pm

mab

or some other news organization william worked for

8:53 pm

cosdem

i watched them on a river in indiana beach on a boat. it was gorgeous

8:58 pm

MollyL

We Americans sure do celebrate our independence well.
: D

9:04 pm

dcseain

The noise from all the fireworks is so wonderful :)

9:04 pm

dcseain

and we could see 2 sets of mortars from our neighborhood.

9:04 pm

dcseain

happy 4th to the US peeps :)

9:06 pm

MollyL

Yay! Another fireworks lover. Happy 4th Seain.

9:06 pm

dcseain

i really do love fireworks :)

9:08 pm

cosdem

I miss the smell

9:08 pm

MollyL

I imagine it was extra crowded on The Mall, as so many suburban shows were canceled.

9:08 pm

dcseain

i stayed at home

9:08 pm

dcseain

i've not seen the mall ones much since i moved off of capitol hill.

9:09 pm

MollyL

I love the smell of sparklers and fireworks.

9:09 pm

viajes

yuck

9:10 pm

viajes

I had drunk neighbors blowing stuff up at 1am; that was fun.

9:10 pm

dcseain

i got criticized by the neighbor's 3-yr-old for being barefoot and for standing in the street. LOL

9:10 pm

viajes

also, hi everyone!

9:10 pm

dcseain

evening, viajes

9:10 pm

MollyL

3-year-olds can be such task masters. : )

9:10 pm

cosdem

lol i do that all the time

9:10 pm

cosdem

barefoot in the streets

9:11 pm

dcseain

that they can indeed, Molly :)

9:11 pm

dcseain

get drunk and set off fireworks all night or run barefoot in the street, cos?

9:11 pm

dcseain

though, i suppose those are not mutually exclusive

9:11 pm

cosdem

actually all of the above lol

9:11 pm

cosdem

or below in this case

9:12 pm

dcseain

hehehe

9:12 pm

MollyL

Both sound good to me. *Passes Via a grumpy old lady cup of tea*

9:12 pm

viajes

I support barefootedness pretty much any time. Loud noises in residential neighborhoods, not so much.

9:12 pm

viajes

(I was trying to watch a movie, dagnammit!)

9:12 pm

viajes

*spikes tea*

9:14 pm

cosdem

Loud noises never distract me from movies :P

9:15 pm

MollyL

: D Cos!

9:15 pm

viajes

it kept making me jump

9:15 pm

dcseain

YAY barefootedness!

9:16 pm

cosdem

was it a scary movie?

9:16 pm

MollyL

*Starts looking for a nice, quiet, Seniors neighborhood for Via to move to*

9:18 pm

cosdem

my grandma is 84, she is moving out of her retirement community and into my aunts apartment becase she thinks her neighbors are too old and boring

9:18 pm

cosdem

she says these people have no life and are just sitting and waiting to die. she wants to live

9:19 pm

viajes

I'm not old and boring! I just don't like fireworks.

9:19 pm

viajes

good for her!

9:19 pm

MollyL

Good for Grandma. I want to be just like her when I'm that age.

9:19 pm

cosdem

didnt mean to call u old and boring. just thought that kinda related to this topic lol

9:20 pm

viajes

no, it was Molly calling me old and boring

9:21 pm

MollyL

She's right Cos. I got a taste of retirement communities and elders homes before my parents passed. A lot of them are just sitting around waiting to die.

9:23 pm

cosdem

now if it was on a beach in miami......

9:26 pm

MollyL

I wonder what it would be like to set up a retirement community only for those who still had some gusto for life. Probably fun.

9:29 pm

wvteach

my parents were in a lively community when they were both alive. They were involved in many new hobbies that they developed after moving in there. We loved to visit and enjoyed being a part of their activities there

9:29 pm

MollyL

That's great, Teach. Good for them.

9:29 pm

mab

i've always thought that when my closest friends and I are old it would be fun if we could all live together.

9:31 pm

mab

my father lives in a gated community on a florida golf course. everyone drives golf carts and everything they need is in the 'community.' it's good for him, but i dislike that there is no diversity.

9:33 pm

mab

i dislike my father too.

9:34 pm

MollyL

At the rate Social Security is going, we are all going to be living in huts when we are elders.

9:36 pm

mab

that will surely be me.

9:37 pm

MollyL

I would be happy to live in the hut next door to yours, Queen Mab. : )

9:38 pm

mab

the feeling is mutual, molly.

9:38 pm

cosdem

Call it Babbleland and I'm in.

9:39 pm

mab

done

9:39 pm

cosdem

We'll build a patio and call it the PB

9:40 pm

mab

and we'll eat sweets whenever we want to.

9:42 pm

MollyL

Cos does that now, Mab. : )

9:42 pm

cosdem

I do, yes. lol

9:46 pm

rururocks
