the yo5 is Hebrew
12:50 am
VolleymomDee
do you know what it is / means, jili?
12:51 am
jillibus
I googled it, dee -- with another Hebrew word it means "High Holidays"
12:51 am
VolleymomDee
interesting; ty for looking
12:53 am
VolleymomDee
the last 8... am 7 and plural am 8
12:53 am
jillibus
the extra word is the ad8 (plural of the ad6 but "not in the dictionary")
12:54 am
VolleymomDee
ty ... don't have the ad 6, so looking :)
12:56 am
dizgrannie
am 7/8.....8s done
12:56 am
VolleymomDee
after looking at def, seems like it is a plural in and of itself; hence, no "plural"
12:58 am

I see what you mean, dee

I looked up on a list and there is a plural for the ad6 but the grid won't take it. I is frustrating when it is on one of the list but the grid refuses it.
2:23 am
Jivingjenny0

2:23 am
grannyrose
io6 and io7.
2:24 am
o-o
the ad 8 is the plural of the ad 6 ... but Dr_God us 4 an older version of enable than lickety does
2:25 am
Buttonman
Bab, can you clue it?
2:26 am
grannyrose
button, there is no ad8 in the grid. br is saying that the grid will not allow it.
2:26 am
o-o
just ignore the ad 8 ... it is an extra the grid does not have

Ruby died during the night or early this morning, peacefully, I think, as she was in her normal sleeping posture. I can't stop crying.
3:18 am

Oh rubyfoo I'm so sorry. I had to put my beloved dog of 14 years down just a few weeks ago. I can totally empathize.
3:19 am
grannyrose
my darling, ruby. my heart goes out to you. what a shame!!! i had hopes she would live for a few more years yet.
3:20 am
Lizlin
Oh, Ruby. So, so sorry. Wish I could hug you. That's so sad, but at least it was peaceful and at least you got to celebrate her birthday. ((Hugs))
3:30 am

thought i might fade away, unless of course i can help with some clueing....quite willing to clue....
3:52 am

back for a second, but still crying. My friends are coming at 11 to bury her in the garden with the other dogs. Hopefully the ground isn't too frozen to dig

If you can have the midas touch..then why enable does not except 'midas' is annoying.
4:57 am
lynxxx
good grief - 12 minutes to find the word instead of midas
5:05 am
zoozzoom
I am finding this grid a little tricky today.
5:06 am
lynxxx
just want to get to 100 and its a struggle - though I am a bit tired
5:07 am
zoozzoom
Yes that is understandable..as it is getting late where you are, Lynxxx.
5:08 am
lynxxx
and a long day. Though I would hate Babble to start in the morning, I wouldn't get anything done
5:09 am
zoozzoom
I need 33 words to find.
5:11 am
lynxxx
I'm impressed
5:13 am
lynxxx
being very distracted by "Would I Lie to You"
5:14 am
zoozzoom
Maybe so..but i have only found one 8 so far.
5:14 am
zoozzoom
I love that show..very funny.
5:14 am
lynxxx
there's 8's?!
5:15 am
lynxxx
reminds me of old radio show My Word
5:17 am
zoozzoom
Is it the version from the UK or is it your own version of 'Would i lie to you'?
5:18 am
lynxxx
the UK one - we have lots of UK shows on our ABC (like the BBC), also have UKTV on cable
5:19 am
zoozzoom
Ahh i see...Rob Brydon just cracks me up all the time..lol
5:20 am
lynxxx
word #100 was yo5.18 no def of course. See you later Zooz, have a great day
5:20 am
zoozzoom
Take care, Lynxxx..see you again soon :-)
5:22 am
zoozzoom
In fact thats the only 'Y' i do not have..damn should of asked for a clue.
5:25 am
zoozzoom
Found it..yay.
5:25 am
Lizlin
yo 5 - hebrew word meaning days - glad you found it! Was trying to think how to clue it!!
5:26 am
zoozzoom
Hello, Liz..many thanks anyway :-)
5:26 am
Lizlin
Hi zooz :)
5:31 am
Lizlin
100 - finally!
5:31 am
zoozzoom
Well done, Liz.
5:32 am
Lizlin
finding this grid difficult :(
5:32 am
Lizlin
Listed at just over half way but haven't resorted to morewords yet!
5:32 am
MollyL
Yo5 of our Chayim, new Jewish soap opera from NBC.
: D
5:33 am
zoozzoom
Me too..have drawn a blank on some of the letters..will have to resort to the list soon i feel.
5:33 am
MollyL
Can you imagine the drama Liz? I think it would be a hit.
5:34 am
Lizlin
I think it'd be hysterical - Oy vey!!!
5:37 am
Lizlin
Did you ever see the UK show "Grandma's House" Molly? I reckon that'd be close to Yo5 of our Chayim!!!
5:38 am
MollyL
No but we had a drama here years ago called "Brooklyn Bridge" about a Jewish family in the 50's which was actually quite good.
5:39 am
Lizlin
Don't know that one but if you come across Grandma's House, give it a try! Apart from the fact that I taught the lead actor, I just "know" so many of the characters.
5:40 am
MollyL
That must have been fun to watch someone you taught on TV.
5:42 am
Lizlin
It was fun - He also hosted a music show called "Never Mind the Buzzcocks" for a while! The funniest was watching an excerpt of video on Grandma's House, from when he was about 12, just after I taught him.
5:43 am
Lizlin
You do have to be pretty broad minded to enjoy Grandma's House!
5:43 am
zoozzoom
Grandmas house was excellent..i remember when he offended a guest on never mind the buzzcocks and the guy walked off..lol
5:45 am
zoozzoom
He was a singer who went out with someone called, Chantelle i think..from big brother.
5:45 am
Lizlin
Yes I remember that too zooz! Glad you enjoyed the show - wondered how it'd go down outside the Jewish community! It's very very very loosely based on truth but the characters are very real!
5:46 am
Lizlin
Also remember when Amy Winehouse was on Buzzcocks with Simon - that was a good show!
5:47 am
Lizlin
Wasn't Simon insulting Chantelle - something about her autobiography?
5:47 am
zoozzoom
I love his laid back approach when acting..also his dry sense of humour.
5:47 am
Lizlin
He was like that when I taught him - his English stories were great!
5:48 am
zoozzoom
Yes i am sure that is what it was...but the guy just could not take it...i mean geez..he must of seen the show before to know you are at some point going to be ribbed...made great TV though..hahaha
5:49 am
zoozzoom
Sorry for the time delay when typing.
5:50 am
Lizlin
soooo agree!!!! They started showing some of buzzcocks over here - but later episodes, when there were lots of different hosts. Actually, though I liked Simon hosting, think Mark Lamarr was better - or maybe I just knew the music better!
5:51 am
zoozzoom
Did Simon present a music tv show ages ago..but lied about his age so he could get the job?
5:51 am
Lizlin
Maybe - I think he presented some kid's shows! Don't really know.
5:53 am
zoozzoom
Mark Lamarr was funny...and he also has a great wealth of knollege on music..as well as being funny.but i did find sometimes i just did not get him..but hey ho.
5:54 am
Lizlin
Did they do a 3rd series of Grandma's House in the UK? We've had 2 here.
5:55 am
zoozzoom
Knowledge*
5:57 am
zoozzoom
No only two series, Liz..as far as i am aware..the co writer said it is unlikley to be a third series :-(
5:58 am
zoozzoom
I am impressed that you taught Simon ...shows you must also have a great sense of humour.
5:59 am
MollyL
Are British tv series always so short? (6-7 episodes). Ours usually run 18-22 episodes.
5:59 am
Lizlin
Also taught his 3 sibs - very different from him!
5:59 am
Lizlin
Yes, quite often I'd say, Molly.
6:00 am
Lizlin
Not the historical dramas but the comedies, yes!
6:00 am
MollyL
I'm always surprised when I read the episode list for Downton Abbey, expecting it to be longer.
6:00 am
zoozzoom
I would say more so today...not like years ago..say like only fools of horses..george & mildred etc
6:00 am
Lizlin
Concise!!!
6:01 am
Lizlin
I counter that with Fawlty Towers!
6:01 am
MollyL
That's true. It leaves less time for rambling story lines.
6:01 am
zoozzoom
I take it you have done a few films, shows, Liz?
6:02 am
Lizlin
Not sure what you mean!
6:04 am
zoozzoom
I do think only fools and horses had run its course though..it started to spoil once they became millionairs
6:05 am
zoozzoom
My spelling is all over the place today.
6:06 am
Lizlin
As long as you can spell the words in the grid!
6:06 am
zoozzoom
lol...now that is a different matter.
6:07 am
zoozzoom
Talking of which.i am going to list with 18 more to find.
6:07 am

I think I'm leaving it for tonight. 53 to go but I'm just not seeing anything, particularly the 6 / 7 / 8 words!

6:15 am

6:15 am
Lizlin
Enjoy your days, everyone - 53 left for tomorrow. :)
6:15 am
sandyloo
She told me about that, she loves her dogs , I know how she feels
6:15 am
zoozzoom
I think it passed away in its sleep.
6:15 am
sprite
it is a lot easier for me, sandy... Australia is quite a bit further away :)
6:16 am
zoozzoom

sandyloo
Ok sprite I will do that email I mean- I will send you a photo of the wedding the dog was a little while ago
6:17 am
sandyloo
Oh no, I didn't realize it was just today - she must be devestated - it will be her favourite dog
6:17 am
sandyloo
Poor Ruby
6:18 am
sprite
yep, found it. It was Ruby, her favorite dog. Ruby was old for a chow though, so she was fearing this day already.
6:19 am
zoozzoom
Still not ea4 when it comes..even if you are expecting it..bless her.
6:19 am
gran
Clue please for ad 8/50
6:19 am
Lizlin
At least she just celebrated Ruby's birthday in January - some small consolation for her. Good night all (for real this time!)
6:20 am
zoozzoom
There is no AD8..licketty made a mistake.
6:20 am
sprite
no, having to let go of a loved pet is never ea4. Am back now, had to email her.
6:21 am
o-o
lickety has 162 words in his list and lists four 8. the ad 8 is the extra
6:22 am
gran
So the total for today is 161
6:22 am
sprite
116 today, gran, yes
6:22 am
zoozzoom
Correct.
6:22 am
sprite
161, I mean, jeezzz. I have 116 left.

lickey uses a more recent version of enable than Dr_God .... which accounts for the occasional variances
6:24 am
zoozzoom
I have had to go to morewords...first time in such a long time.
6:25 am
sandyloo
Sprite, how is your dog?
6:25 am
sprite
seems to be a challenging grid. Am not getting any speed here.
6:26 am
sprite
sandy, he is doing wonderfully. Still playful and silly, and so very sweet and funny.
6:27 am
sprite
I would have expected the english to allow a word like unsad... as in understatement for very happy.
6:29 am
o-o
Un`sad´
a. 1. Unsteady; fickle.
O, stormy people, unsad and ever untrue.
- Chaucer.
6:29 am
sprite
now there. Thanks, BabbleRabble. Good to know I am not the only one who thinks it is a word.
6:29 am
o-o
Unsad is in several dictionaries .... but apparently not in Enable
6:30 am
sprite
Enable is always surprising.
6:30 am
zoozzoom
Maybe it is time for the newer version of enable to be used then.
6:31 am
o-o
JT is not inclined to update.
6:31 am
sprite
noooooo! Zooz, so many words we use now would no longer be accepted. All those lovely ancient obsolete treasures!
6:31 am
sprite
DrG wants to keep it as is, no extra work.
6:31 am
sandyloo
sprite, are you still finishing in 10 minutes?
6:32 am
zoozzoom
Well we could keep those in too, Sprite :-)
6:32 am
sprite
lol sandy, that was never me.
6:32 am
sprite
oh please, zooz. I am attached to them. I really am. Ywis.
6:32 am
zoozzoom
LOL..yes that tok me ages the other day to find.
6:34 am
sprite
it is one of my favorite words. It means for sure. And it is clearly related to an obsolete Dutch word with the exact same meaning, 'gewis'.
6:35 am
zoozzoom
And fireworks for me...finally
6:35 am
o-o
I like orts ... every time I sit at a table I check to see if it has lost any scraps or if the scraps have been replaced.
6:36 am
sandyloo

:D BabbleRabble
6:37 am

Another dutch word i believe.
6:37 am

6:42 am
Jacula
Hello all. Sprite - orts is of Germanic origin but related to the Dutch oorete (orr = remaining + 'ete' = food).
6:43 am
o-o
chilly here: Fair -16°F 27°C
6:43 am
sprite
hi Jac, thanks for telling me that, I did not know. I think the word oorete is obsolete here too, I have never seen it before.
6:43 am
smores
That's not chilly BR....that's COLD :)
6:44 am
Jacula
I looked it up, Sprite. Now we both know something new. :-)

BabbleRabble, I hope you are using your heated hammock?
6:46 am

Nah ... just grabbed a blanket
6:47 am
sprite
smart move ;)
6:47 am
Jacula
Just checked my outside thermometer and it's reading 4 deg. C but it's probably a degree or two colder than that as the thermometer is on the house (kitchen) wall.
6:48 am

here it is about the same as at Jac's.
6:50 am
Jacula
I have 45 words left to find. Going to get on some chores and leave them until later. TTFN. x

6:53 am

It's all very exciting
6:55 am

6:57 am

hiya, Sprite! thank you sandy
7:00 am
sprite
oh I would not laugh, sandy. I have camped out with a group where they had sunshowers. Black bags in which you put water, then lay them in the sun to heat. In the evening you have pretty warm water.
7:01 am
sandyloo
sprite, in a minute i wil be going outside to get naked -belive me you would laugh!! it is a proper hot shower however
7:02 am
sprite
not bad at all, sandy! We had to use those bags outside as well. Being able to shower is worth the trouble.

my best friend came to visit me, and we went to Hong Kong, Macau, and Hangzhou together
7:04 am
smores

7:04 am
Rows
we both got a little bit sick so a couple of days were lost due to that, but otherwise it was wonderful
7:04 am
sprite
wow, exciting trip, Rows
7:05 am
crosshair
a hillbilly swimming pool is when you take a large tarp ,line the bed of a pick up truck with it and fill her up with water
7:05 am
Rows
yeah it was awesome - i LOVE macau
7:05 am
sprite
eat or drink something wrong, Rows?

where were you travelling rows?
7:07 am
sprite
bye smores, see you soon
7:07 am
Rows
went to Hong Kong, Macau, and Hangzhou on my holiday
7:08 am
Rows
Hangzhou is just a hop, skip, and a jump away from me, though, while the other two required farther travel
7:11 am
sprite
oh my, the robot ending is used too
7:12 am
sandyloo
Crossy, you better write a novel then and sell it on ebay for all of us to read
7:13 am
crosshair
you will get the first copy sandy
7:13 am
sprite
is that a robot ending as well, BabbleRabble?
7:14 am
sprite
thank you. I just found the my.
7:15 am
sprite
ah got it, thanks again.
Will look it up. Looks like it should mean "Open the door-ish" but I bet it is something totally different.
7:15 am
Rows
haha robot ending... nice clue
7:16 am
o-o
did you find the my beast of burden sort of
7:16 am
sprite
Rows, it has become part of the babble lingo :)

hi Mimi. Was wondering if you were up and about :)
7:18 am

MimiCat
Hi, sandy!
7:19 am

Rows
ooh, what's your new job?
7:19 am
MimiCat
You're such a great support, sprite!
7:20 am

I'm selling Ameriplan healthcare benefits. Work at home, which is nice, and the earning potential is tremendous.
7:20 am
sprite
I simply care, Mimi, that's all :)
7:20 am
MimiCat
Hey, I'm in the grid today! Must be a sign!
7:21 am

you are! See, times are a-changing.
7:21 am
Rows

7:21 am
MimiCat
I'm blocking all negative energy today and going to focus on the positive.
7:22 am
sprite
good going, Mimi. Get the juices flowing :D
7:22 am
MimiCat
Got up a little earlier than I wanted this morning. My Dodger cat just mercilessly bugged me to be fed until I couldn't go back to sleep. Hate when he does that!
7:23 am
sprite
he knew you had a big day and he wanted you to have all the time you need
7:23 am
Rows
that's why you should get an automatic feeder :P
7:23 am
Jillyjill
Good morning all..a few minutes to babble before work!
7:23 am
o-o
se 8 also is involved in the tendon formed in the pisiform. Of course, the pisiform is a small bone on the ulnar side of the carpus in man and many mammals.
7:24 am
sprite
hi Jjill :)
7:24 am
MimiCat
I could do that with the dry food, Rows, but I give them canned wet food once in the morning and once in the evening...that's what he wants.
7:24 am
Jillyjill
Sprite, saw your FB post...when are you going to Austria and whatcha doing there?
7:24 am
MimiCat
((Jilly))
7:24 am
Rows
morning jill
7:24 am
sprite
oh I remember the pisiform. It is the peashaped bone at the bottom pinky side of your handpalm.
7:25 am
MimiCat
Fabulous clue, BR!
7:25 am
sprite
Oh Jjill, didn't you get my message? Must look you up and send it.
7:25 am
MimiCat
Sprite, what's this about Austria?!!
7:25 am

hi br, jilly, mimi
7:26 am

Hey there, dawg!

7:26 am

lol... indeed. I am going to Austria for 8 months.
7:26 am
Rows
wow, it's got to be cold there right now
7:26 am
MimiCat
Tell me the joke later.
7:26 am
Rows
but i guess in a couple months or so it'll get nicer
7:26 am
sprite
nah, don't worry. It is a special message. It is not true.
7:27 am
MimiCat
OK---I was feeling oddly left out of the loop!
7:27 am
o-o
How right you are, sprite: http://tinyurl.com/bgpbhzp
7:28 am
Jillyjill
Ahhh...I think I know what is going on...will check FB later sprite...
7:28 am

Jjill... does your last name start with D?
7:29 am
sprite
I remember from the physiology lessons, BabbleRabble. Glad some part of the brain still works :)
7:29 am
o-o
I thought it meant a youngster acting out
7:30 am
Jillyjill
Well, must head off to work...hagd all!
7:30 am
Rows
have a good day, jill!
7:30 am
Jillyjill

7:30 am

bye dawg, have a good one
7:31 am
MimiCat
Bye Jilly and dawg!
7:31 am
Rows
i'm trying to decide if it's the right choice for me to go out at 9:30 at night for a massage, or if i should just stay in
7:31 am
sprite
would work for me, BabbleRabble.
7:31 am
Rows
it's a 5 min walk away and only 58 yuan
7:31 am
sprite
go for the massage, Rows. It will do you good.
7:31 am
MimiCat
Stay put, Rows. How was Hong Kong?
7:32 am
Rows
Hong Kong was nice... very crowded, but nice and warm, and we had a clear, sunny day our last day there
7:32 am
MimiCat
Great. I'm soooo envious!
7:32 am
Rows
well then take a trip there :)
7:33 am
MimiCat
If only I could. There are so very many places I'd love to see. Finances don't permit.
7:33 am
o-o
Chevy Chase did trips
7:33 am
sprite
they will in time, Mimi. Keep the dreams alive.
7:33 am
Rows
well, you've got a new job, just work at it for a bit and save, make travel a priority
7:34 am
MimiCat
Those trips I could easily manage, BR!
7:34 am
sprite
I trip a lot. Over my own feet, usually.
7:34 am
MimiCat
Sounds like a plan, Rows! I especially want to make a trip to The Netherlands........
7:34 am
sprite
Mimi, I sent you the message through email. Don't think you and me are connected on FB yet.
7:34 am
Rows
i mean, unless you have a family to take care of, in which case, you can still do it, it's just more complicated
7:34 am
Rows
you definitely should!
7:35 am
sprite
:) You'd be very welcome here.
7:35 am
MimiCat
I rarely use FB, sprite...not crazy about it. But guess I'll be posting the new business venture there.
7:35 am
MimiCat
I'd really love to do a culinary tour of Italy---start eating at the top and end up at the bottom!!
7:35 am
Rows
i've realised there's not much other than travel that i really want to prioritize my time and money for at this point in my life... i've pretty much never travelled anywhere and later regretted it
7:36 am
Rows
i'm going to Malaysia next week for a weekend getaway :)
7:36 am
MimiCat
It's the one big regret I have in life, Rows. Just wasn't able to manage it. Maybe I can get in a couple of trips one day, though. Wow---Malaysia. I'm so envious I'm positive GREEN.
7:37 am
Rows
you're not dead yet!
7:37 am
Rows
no need to regret
7:38 am
o-o
the trip to the fun spot of southeast asia cured me of the little spirit of adventure I previously had.
7:38 am
MimiCat
Would love to see New Zealand, Tibet, Greece, Paris...the list goes on and on. No, I'm not dead but almost was last year---had a heart attack. Made me realize I'd better get around to many things now.
7:38 am
MimiCat
Different time....wrong place, BR.
7:38 am
sprite
*hugs BabbleRabble* That was, no pun intended, a bad trip.
7:38 am
smores
Hi again all :)
7:38 am
sprite
wb smores... smorette safely dropped?
7:39 am
Rows
why do you say that, BR? what was so bad about your trip?
7:39 am
smores
{Mimi} how are you?
7:39 am
MimiCat
He's talking about Vietnam, Rows.
7:40 am
smores
{BR} thank you
7:40 am
Rows
gotcha - well, i'm going to Kuala Lumpur, which is not at all a war zone at the moment, and i'll be exploring some pretty sights as well as dancing my ass off
7:40 am
MimiCat
Not exactly a pleasure cruise.
7:40 am
Rows
so i should have an okay time
7:40 am
MimiCat
Busy with the new job, smores. There's no selling to this job---the plan really sells itself. Sold one yesterday.
7:40 am
sprite
nope, especially if it leaves you scarred for life.
7:41 am
MimiCat
The Bachelor goes to Thailand next week----can't wait to see the footage.
7:41 am
Rows
that's another one on my list of places to see before i move away from Asia
7:41 am
MimiCat
Is anyone else hooked on that stupid show? I picked all the finalists from the beginning! Wow, I'm good.....
7:42 am
smores
lol...no Mimi watched part of the 1st season...couldn't get into it
7:42 am
MimiCat
Rows, I would love to visit China but I'm a bit intimidated by the thought. Should I be?
7:42 am
Rows
lol, sorry, but i am hooked on So You Think You Can Dance, whenever it's on... just started watching the China version of it
7:42 am
smores
Congrats of the job Mimi :)
7:42 am
MimiCat
TY, smores. Did you get my email?
7:43 am
smores
sorry, I'm really bad at checking emails...promise I will look today
7:44 am
smores
ugh...I am now feeling stuffed and guilty...just had cheesecake for breakfast
7:44 am
MimiCat
Shame, smores! That's how I am about FB--check a couple of times a month. Cheesecake for breakfast---atta girl!
7:44 am
Rows
i'd have done the same, given the opportunity, lol
7:45 am
Rows
i had brownies for breakfast a few days ago
7:45 am
MimiCat
I found a great breakfast product. Special K frozen breakfast sandwiches. Outstandingly good, easy to make and not many calories.
7:45 am
sprite
forget the guilt, smores. you did it, so enjoy it!
7:45 am
Rows
i generally don't eat breakfast :/
7:45 am
o-o
smore, I mistook you for smoove: A science writer working at the American Museum of Natural History.
7:46 am
smores
lol...I made one last night and as you know they are sooo much better the next day.
7:46 am
MimiCat
Going to have one in a few minutes. Speaking of which, gotta get breakfast and then down to work. Loving this job.
7:47 am
MimiCat
I only do breakfast if it's easy. Not up for a challenge in the morning. Would rather sleep than eat most of the time but my Dodger won't allow it!
7:47 am
smores
Ahh...I understand nw BR...don't think I've "met" smoove
7:47 am
Rows
yeah, that's the case for me too - having to be at work at 8 isn't too conducive to eating breakfast, unless it's something i can grab on my way out and then eat at my desk when i get to work
7:47 am
smores
gotta eat at least a little something Rows
7:48 am
Rows
usually i don't eat until noon
7:48 am
smores
I know it's cliche' but it really is the most important meal
7:48 am
MimiCat
I used to skip breakfast altogether but I've found it is beneficial to my functioning to have something, especially protein, for breakfast.
7:49 am
Rows
yeah... i just need to find more easy options for things i can just grab in the morning and take with me
7:49 am
smores
Do you like yogurt Rows?
7:49 am
Rows
i used to have yogurt for breakfast, but in the winter it doesn't seem appealing to eat for some reason, maybe cos it's cold?
7:50 am
o-o
I often have pizza and ice cream for breakfast
7:50 am
smores
:) love it BR
7:50 am
MimiCat
I'll think up some easy things you can make up and take with you, Rows. Give me a couple of days.
7:50 am
Rows
lol i'll probably have pizza tomorrow... it's what i got for dinner tonight and i only ate two slices
7:50 am
sprite
cold pizza? I love that.
7:51 am
Rows
still working up my appetite again from the stomach bug, though
7:51 am
MimiCat
Yay---it's raining here!! Love that....it's going to be a good day for me. We're in a 10-year drought here in Arizona so the rain makes a huge difference. I adore thunderstorms.
7:51 am
Rows
lol i just found nemo's friend
7:51 am
smores
I usually have a healthy breakfast, that's why I felt guilty this morning
7:52 am
sprite
smores, guilt is a waste of energy and of a lovely breakfast
7:52 am
Rows
wow, i can't imagine living somewhere where i would be happy to see rain...
7:52 am
sandyloo
mimi I adore rain and storms and now with 4 left I must go to bed nite all
7:52 am
sprite
night night sandy. Lovely to have you back here!
7:53 am
MimiCat
Nite, sandy!
7:53 am
smores
Yeah, I'm over it :) just have to eat healthy the rest of the day
7:53 am
Rows
though thunderstorms are lovely
7:53 am
Rows
goodnight sandy!
7:53 am
smores
Bye Sandy...sleep well :)
7:53 am
o-o
whiteouts are more interesting than rain
7:53 am
MimiCat
I know, Rows, so many tell me that. But when you've lived in the desert for 30 years you really miss the rain. BTW, Rows, do you have a good selection of frozen food in China?
7:53 am
crosshair
mmmm,breakfast....

it is a cane used by the blind or nearly blind to aid in movemnt
8:02 am

right rofl
8:02 am

that is awful, crossy! Am glad things aren't that bad here yet. Most people take care of people with a white cane.

Rows
no pun intended...
8:02 am
medusa
i always move for people less fortunate. some people are just so ignorant!
8:02 am
Rows
i don't see those here... but i think blind people here are generally shunned and kept at home and/or turned into beggars
8:03 am
crosshair
in the case of my wife,with her vision at 20/400,she has no way to gague distance or depth perception so the cane is usefull in determining depth of curbs to the street angle of sidewalks stair risers etc

any kind of physical imperfection in a child will make the family lose face, basically, or at least just make the parents upset that they had "bad luck," since they can only have one child

Wow, Rows, forgotabout that
8:04 am
Rows
it's a cultural thing, combined with the fact that the population has created necessity for the one-child-policy
8:05 am

8:05 am

Dogs Last Will and Testament
Before humans die, they write their last Will & Testament, give their home and all they have, to those they leave behind. If with my paws, I could do the same, this is what I'd ask...
To a poor and lonely stray I'd give:
-My happy home.
-My bowl and cozy bed, soft pillows and all my toys.
-The lap, which I loved so much.
-The hand that stroked my fur and the sweet voice which spoke my name.
I'd Will to the sad, scared shelter dog, the place I had in my
human's loving heart, of which there seemed no bounds.
So, when I die, please do not say, "I will never have a
pet again, for the loss and pain is more than I can stand."
Instead, go find an unloved dog, one whose life has
held no joy or hope and give MY place to HIM.
This is the only thing I can give...
The love I left behind.

Wrestling was one of the original olympic sports. Stupid olympic committee. So does that mean we'll get more gymnastic dancing while waving a ribbon around?
9:14 am

I was shocked they made that decision. One of the few original sports left.
9:14 am
hurshy
they didn't cut modern pentathlon, which is expensive to do and unpopular (equestrian, shooting, etc) such that most people have never heard of it, because one of the committee members is a booster for that.
9:14 am

car.eeyore
Hi Molly! TY!

9:38 am
MollyL
sa, se and am

9:39 am
car.eeyore

lbdawger
ahh, ad8 is a lickety bonus word

Well then you won't be excited.
9:54 am
dan2bit
hurshy - you have to respect a guy who can write the same book 5 times though :-)
9:55 am
medusa
was not so keen on his last book but do like his other stuff. i do think deception point was the best one though
9:55 am
hurshy
seems like a lot of authors write "the same book" multiple times - even great ones
9:55 am
MollyL
Mental note: Don't mention Dan Brown here again
9:56 am
lbdawger
tadone!! finito! this was not an overly fun grid.

10:02 am

I think that must be an American word. We call those hundreds and thousands!
10:03 am
dan2bit
I like Dan Brown's book. Slight preference when the cabalistic bureaucracy is the United States's and not the Vatican City's
10:03 am
medusa
or sprinkles
10:03 am
hurshy
or edible ball bearings
10:04 am
Sandieangel
I have NO idea what those might be!!!!
10:04 am
hurshy
well that's what the Doctor calls them! :)
10:04 am
MollyL
Mostly sprinkles here too. I've only heard the ji word in New England.
10:05 am
hootowl
Hasn't anyone here ever played marbles/
10:05 am
hurshy
some people object to the ji word on the grounds that it comes from jim crow. but since we now use the word for the multicolored ones as well as the brown ones, i'm not sure it really matters
10:05 am
MollyL
How about im6...the stripper sh****** and shakes her booty?
10:05 am
Sandieangel
Well - I found the im6. what a funny word.
10:06 am
smores
Wow Hootowl, hadn't even thought of marbles in years :)
10:06 am
hootowl
well - thats your im!
10:07 am
hootowl

10:07 am

Mental note: Go to the ice cream shop and ask for hundreds and thousands. Hope they don't think you are robbing the place.

Liz, I tried to clue that earlier using Jewish language and everyone thought I meant Hebrew. Your clue was more concise.
8:17 pm
Lizlin
ty Molly - actually i worked from what you'd written! That clue worked for me!
8:17 pm
flosey
not getting it, had a lot of Jewish friends in Ontario, don't know any since coming here
8:17 pm
Lizlin
OK - flosey - also 1st 3 of sa above - + slang word for Jews
8:18 pm
Lizlin
Bit insulting too!
8:18 pm
MollyL
The back end of the word is sometimes vowel + first in Freud's personality trio.

The closest I've come to that word is the name of a character on LOST but that name does not have the first i in it.

8:30 pm
flosey

8:30 pm
MollyL
Here, if you went into an ice cream shop and asked for a cone and said you would like hundreds and thousands with that, they would think you were robbing the place. : P
