Remember Polish jokes? I hesitate to tell them, though, for fear of offending. But my favorite is: Why is there no ice in Poland? The guy with the recipe died.

I think it is impossible to prevent many of these things. No matter how hard they try, you can't watch every single person every single moment.

Once a blond went into a public library and asked the librarian for a cheeseburger, fries, and Pepsi. The librarian scolded her, "Do you realize where you are?" So the blond whispered, "I would like a cheeseburger, fries and a Pepsi."

That is a nice sign of solidarity Zoom.

LOL, Scrab. A guy went camping and was walking around looking for a place to get supplies. He saw a little store on the other side of a lake but saw no way to get there. A blonde came out of the store and he yelled at her "How do you get to the other side?" She replied "You're already on the other side."
9:09 am
MollyL
I wonder how many people in London were apprehensive today. I would have been.
9:09 am

Yes, any large gathering of people = target.
9:10 am

And the worry of copycats.

I am sure many were.

This is how I view life/death. When it's my turn to go, God knows where to find me and if it's not my time, no way am I going. So control is an illusion.

9:11 am

ok mimi :a blonde i know was tired of her hair and dyed it brunette and to celebrate she went for a drive in the country and on the way she saw a flock of sheep and an old farmer herding them in a field.on a sudden impulse she stopped and walked over to where the farmer was leaning by the fence looking out over his heard and she said "excuse me,i love sheep and have always wanted one.i i can guess the exact number of sheep you have roaming around out there can i take one home with me?" the farmer being a sporting fella said "sure,go right ahead" the woman took 3 seconds and said "to hundred and six" the farmer was stunned as this was the correct figure and true to his word he opened the gate and let the woman pick one to bring back to her car. as she was doing this the farmer stopped her and said "if i can guess the real colour of your hair can i have my sheep dog back?"
9:11 am

No brunette jokes because we're just too smart!

A plane is flying cross-country when the captain comes on the intercom and says "I must tell you we've lost an engine. But don't worry...we still have 3 more and will be fine. We'll just be about 20 minutes late." After awhile longer he again says "Folks, we've lost another engine. But we'll be fine...just will be about an hour later." Incredibly, awhile later he again says "I can't believe this but we've lost engine #3. We can still make it but will be a couple of hours late." A blonde turns to the guy sitting next to her and says "I hope we don't lose the 4th engine or we'll be up here all night."

I dyed my greying hair for 1 year, starting at age 38, then decided to stop. My greying hair = my symbol of wisdom.
9:18 am

Scrab, I'd trade all this wisdom in a minute to be young, cute, perky and stupid again!
9:18 am

and to make up for my blonde joke,here is one for those of you who happen to be blonde....
9:18 am
jwm70
do women prefer blonde men?or dark hair?
9:18 am
crosshair
There was a blonde who was sitting next to a lawyer on an airplane. The lawyer was naturally bored, so he kept bugging the blonde to play a game of intelligence with him.
The blonde was reluctant, so the lawyer offered her 10 to 1 odds. He told her that every time she could not answer his question, she owed him $5, but every time he could not answer hers, he'd give her $50. The lawyer figured the blonde was so dumb, he could not lose, and the blonde thought for a few minutes and reluctantly accepted to play his game.
The lawyer fires his first question "What is the distance between the Earth and the nearest star?"
Without saying a word the blonde handed him $5. The blonde then asked the lawyer "What goes up a hill with 3 legs and comes back down the hill with 4 legs?"
The lawyer's face looked extremely puzzled. He spent several hours, looking up everything he could on his laptop and even placing numerous air-to-ground phone calls trying to figure out the answer. Finally, the angry and frustrated lawyer handed the blonde $50.00.
The blonde put the $50 into her purse quickly without saying a word. The lawyer was outraged at this point and asked, "Well, what is answer?"
The blonde glanced at him with a smirk on her face and handed him a $5 bill.

Cute, perky and stupid is highly over rated. Unless you are a man. : D
9:20 am

JWM, I don't think hair color matters much, actually. I always looked for a warmth in the eyes and a great smile.

I've stopped the search, Scrab....had lots of wonderful men in my life (and a couple of stinkers) but at 61 I've decided I'm done. Other things to do now and happy to be living alone.

JWM---popular myth about size.

I prefer men who look like men. I've never understood women who drool over effeminate men like Johnny Depp.

I could mostly pick up on that, jwm. Those were the days. People used to be shocked when I told my age but now they're not anymore. Thinking about saying I'm 80 so people will say "Wow, you really look great for your age."

Kids are given such lousy diets, then have pooping issues and frantic, crying mamas
10:31 am

Yes there are lots of names in the grid today.

Clueless and unresourceful. Nobody seems to research info first. They just quickly call us rather than educate themselves.
10:31 am

Common sense: If you don't feed it fiber, it will not poop properly.
10:32 am

used to give my kid so much fiber he would almost fart dust;)
10:32 am

now,at 19,he just eats everything that is not nailed down:(

That goes for adults too. Little to no fiber in their diets, very little water and they are at a loss as to why they are constipated.

if this continues until he's done (end of May) it will be rather tedious

It seems like digestive indignity has been the story of his life. Not fair.
3:56 pm
uusue2
It has indeed, and it really gets him down sometimes.
3:56 pm
uusue2
I give him lots of pep talks but it is still hard
3:57 pm

As well meaning and loving as your pep talks are, he is the only one who can get his head in the right place. I'm sure that is not easy most days.

One thing that helps me is to focus on what I want, not on what I don't want. That makes me realize that worry, fear and doubt all focus on what I don't want.

ah, interesting. He had a therapist who pointed out to him how negative his thinking (and speech) often was; maybe that will help too.
4:00 pm

4:03 pm
crosshair
wish i were to to offer frank what words i have to help him through
4:03 pm
MollyL
I don't know if Frank is into writing or not, but journaling can help a lot. Nothing that you keep, just a free form sort of get it all out on paper or the computer screen kind of thing.
4:04 pm
uusue2
I'll suggest that too, molly - he's been a writer in the past (English lit major, journalist and editor)
4:04 pm

they cometh slowly,soodles.but it is still viable for this summer/fall.we want to come in at dubblin.we wish our home base to be Trim and we wish to see the giants causeway amongst other things but other than that and wanting to fly a more comfortable business class,we are still working on things
4:05 pm
uusue2
business class is VERY nice - when I was flying internationally a lot I would get upgraded every once in a while
4:06 pm
Soodle
Hugely important, Molls. I wrote reams & reams when my (euphemism alert) domestic circumstances changed. I never saved any of it, or sent it anywhere, but it was cathartic.
4:06 pm
crosshair
with my artritis andsciatica i could nt be rammed into a seat in cattle class
4:06 pm
MollyL
A blank computer screen, ten or fifteen minutes in which you just purge everything in your heart and soul, then the DELETE button. It's very therapeutic.
4:07 pm
crosshair
yes,purging it all can be very good.what i did was work with the hospital talking with men just diagnosed with my first cancer and guiding them.that was very therapudic for me
4:08 pm
uusue2
I'll bet that was, crossy. There's a volunteer at our cancer center who's had cancer himself, too.
4:08 pm
crosshair
because as good as the oncologists are,they treat the cancer,they do not treat your life as you go through the fight
4:08 pm

Oooooh! Business class! I flew to LA once, business class. I was born to be a Business Class sort of gal. Sadly, real life intervened..... :-(

I can't remember if I flagged the CNN story which put lil ole Trim as one of the top 10 places to visit which could change your child's life. I know you don't have a 'child' to take with you, but it was a mighty feather in Trim's cap! Up there with the Gallopagas Islands & the Grand Canyon!
4:15 pm

I moved from Mo Co. to Fredneck so 20 years ago.
4:35 pm
phandmd
some 20 years ago...
4:36 pm
MollyL
Everybody moves to Fredneck. It's cheaper to live there. My kids (older two) live there.
4:36 pm
phandmd
that's exactly why we moved here.

In Oakland they'd call it Mo Fo Co.
4:38 pm
phandmd
oh, well, that's not very nice. lol
4:38 pm
rururocks
<---has to do his own set up for jokes....
4:38 pm
MollyL
I liked it Ru. And there are parts of this county to which that would apply very well.

bit of a celestial tidbit for babblers: the lyrid meteor shower will be at it's peak tomorrow night so hope for a clear night to view the show
4:43 pm
MollyL
It's like Baltimore. People who want to impress never say they live in Baltimore. They identify by neighborhood. Like Roland Park (ritz area)

hi folks
4:50 pm
uusue2
clear would be nice, unfortunately looks like it will be cloudy here

surry is not a word. I thought it was a carriage, like in "Oklahoma", with fringe on top
4:51 pm
uusue2
spelled surrey
4:51 pm
uusue2
almost in the grid but not quite :-)
4:54 pm
RoundBarn
when I was on earlier today Kaplan was astonished that teehee wasn't a word. (That was the time of the blonde jokes on the chat, but something else of interest but I forget what. The jokes began bcz something else was stressful, Crossy, was it, told quite a long one.
4:56 pm
RoundBarn
I guess there's a way of pulling up old chats, to find that other subject you were discussing--but I don't know how. I came on just now and missed what Sue was saying abt Frank, just the aftermath.
4:57 pm
MollyL
Click on the icon farthest to the right above the chat log. That lets you view "Entire chat log" from the time the grid flipped.
4:58 pm
MollyL
You have to go to Archives to view chats from previous days.
4:58 pm
uusue2
hi roundbarn, he's doing ok but chemo is getting very hard on him
5:00 pm
MollyL
It's hard to keep track of what is going on in chat when someone posts something of great length.
5:00 pm
RoundBarn
I just checked on your page and read your April 20. Thanks for the update. And thank you for the big dipper--Springfield has so much light we don't see many stars--but at my place in Vermont, the stars are wonderfully clear.
5:01 pm
uusue2
yw, roundbarn, we have a lot of light here too, being in town, but the cornfields are close if we want to get to dark places
5:02 pm
MollyL
Eek! Dark cornfields are the stuff of Stephen King stories. : O
5:02 pm
uusue2
hahaha, you should see the Halloween corn mazes around here, they really build on that
5:03 pm
RoundBarn
our farm was alway dark skyed--some of my happiest memories is trudging up the lane in the dark (too much snow for the car) and the brilliance of the night sky.
5:04 pm
uusue2
lovely image, roundbarn!
5:05 pm
RoundBarn
but molly--we have had at least one cornfield muder down here, a few years ago. So you're right, there. I think you need to know your area, these days.
5:06 pm
jmcnrick
partial lunar eclipse on Thursday
5:07 pm
RoundBarn
All this lovely sky talk--but the sun is out, I'm leaving you people--whom I've come to enjoy--and going outside. so goodby, all. uuchurch today was on earth day.
5:07 pm
MollyL
For the most part, I find rural areas like cornfields beautiful. But I'm not sure I would be out and about in one at night. Due to my scaredy cat nature.
5:08 pm
jmcnrick
i just came back from a walk at the arboretum among the azaleas. . .and then planting salvia in my yard. . .i am ready for some indoor time
5:08 pm
MollyL
Thanks for the reminder RB. Everyone do something nice for Ma Earth tomorrow. : )
5:08 pm
uusue2
our local arboretum was badly impacted by floods, and is only just re-opening
5:09 pm
jmcnrick
here is what i think about rural v urban. . . bad things happen in both places but there is help closer in the city. . .
5:09 pm
RoundBarn
was salvia in yesterday's grid? I got saliva. Now I'm OUT!
5:09 pm
crosshair
i told two blonde jokes,one poking fun at blondes and the other with blondes showing people who was boss.sorry about the length of them
5:09 pm
MollyL
Thanks to Miley Cyrus, it's better to refer to salvia as white sage. : D
5:10 pm
jmcnrick
but its red. . . ????
5:11 pm
RoundBarn
ok, I remember now what the other conversation was, it wasn't really stressful--but Kaplan and Mael discovered they lived on the SAME street. It was fun to just keep watching their exchanges. Crossy, your jokes were fine.
5:11 pm
MollyL
Another kind of salvia.
5:11 pm
jmcnrick
cool are they going to meet up?
5:12 pm
crosshair
yes,it was nice for 2 babblers to connect like that especially so they could share and overcome what went on there
5:12 pm
jmcnrick
i know kap was shook up
5:12 pm
RoundBarn
It seemed heading that way--they got talking about coffee places--what did you think, Crossy?
5:13 pm
crosshair
i think it was great and i think they planned on a nice get together
5:13 pm
jmcnrick
<===big fan of meet ups
5:13 pm
MollyL
No, really? I'm shocked. : P
5:14 pm
jmcnrick
hehehehhehe
5:14 pm
RoundBarn
i plan to meet uusue some time--she's just off my flight pattern. If any of you come to see Lincoln stuff, let me know.
5:15 pm
jmcnrick
I will let you know if i am in the woods RB. . . .
5:15 pm
MollyL
JMC is the Babble Meet Up Queen, RB. Look for her in a neighborhood near you!
5:16 pm
RoundBarn
the thing abt the chat box is, people seem to pay little attention to the grid. I like it when someone accidentally puts in a grid word.
5:16 pm
jmcnrick
haha! I loves meeting babblers. . . I has forgot how many i have met!
5:16 pm
crosshair
any any babbler is welcome for a nice crossy canadian north woods breakfast :)
5:16 pm
jmcnrick
if the canadian government didn't always harass me at the border i would come up crossy....
5:17 pm
MollyL
Actually, I should say that Sue and JMC are neck and neck for Babble Meet Up Queen. Sue did quite a bit of "meeting" last year.
5:17 pm
jmcnrick
but it would have to be in august or i would friz to death
5:17 pm
crosshair
lol,you were a wild one in the past,jmc?
5:17 pm
jmcnrick
and we met each other. . .
5:17 pm
jmcnrick

5:18 pm
MollyL
*Laughs at the idea of JMC in Canadian winter*
5:18 pm

5:19 pm
jmcnrick

5:19 pm
MollyL
No she would not. She freezes when it is 50 degrees here.
5:19 pm
crosshair
heck,it only dropped below minus 20 a few times
5:19 pm
jmcnrick

5:19 pm
RoundBarn

5:20 pm
jmcnrick

5:20 pm
MollyL
Okay fine, she is dragging around quilt blankies when it is 40 then. : P
5:20 pm
crosshair

5:20 pm
jmcnrick
haha now that is true!
5:21 pm
MollyL
Note: Canadians think 40F is summertime temperature.
5:21 pm
crosshair
;) almost time to take the cover off the pool:)
5:21 pm
jmcnrick
actually i had no trouble crossing the canadian boarder to visit my sister in calgary until 1977 when i was held for an hour. . .
5:22 pm
jmcnrick
they faint at 80 degrees molls
5:22 pm
crosshair
anything over 80f and i am a wreck heat rash from head to toe.finished
5:23 pm
jmcnrick

5:23 pm
MollyL
Oh I know. It's all "I can't breathe and I'm so sweaty and why don't Canadians have air conditioning!!!!"
5:23 pm
uusue2
*waves goodbye to roundbarn*
5:23 pm
crosshair

5:24 pm
jmcnrick

5:24 pm
crosshair
bought my very first house a/c unit just last summer
5:24 pm
jmcnrick
i have a/c for my guest room. . . i don't use them myself. . .
5:24 pm
uusue2
Frank is often cold these days, so has the heat in the house cranked way up; I am sweating most of the time
5:25 pm
crosshair
we do not usually have them because untill last 10 years or so,they would only be used a handfull of times in the summer and was a waste of money
5:25 pm
jmcnrick
poor frank we should get him one of those blanket snuggly things
5:25 pm
MollyL
Mind you, it gets over 100 degrees here in the summer at times. There is no way I could do without air conditioning.
5:25 pm
crosshair
suze,when i was on the cisplatin,i was frozen all the time
5:25 pm
crosshair
are they keeping tabs on franks immune system?
5:26 pm
uusue2
he's not on that yet, crossy, hopefully he won't need to be
5:26 pm
crosshair
because mine crashed and i had to get blood transfusions and shots/meds
5:26 pm
uusue2
yes, they check all his blood chemistry every week
5:26 pm
jmcnrick
i wash my feet and tu4/5 on the fan and I am fine. . .
5:26 pm
uusue2
they have a shot called neulasta that brings his white blood count right back up, it's new apparently
5:27 pm
crosshair
nice.my white count was a ruin
5:27 pm
jmcnrick
that sounds like a great improvement!
5:27 pm
jmcnrick
i bet it came from the AIDs research. . .
5:27 pm
crosshair
i had to go round wearing a mask in public
5:27 pm
MollyL
That's good JMC. The rest of us are sweltering while you have cool feet and a warm fan breeze. : P
5:27 pm
uusue2
it costs several thousand dollars per shot but I guess his insurance is covering it
5:28 pm
crosshair
good,good.mine was 400/shot covered under provincial health care
5:28 pm
uusue2
then his magnesium has been getting out of whack so they give him supplemental Mg most weeks, sometimes he has to go back in for more
5:28 pm
jmcnrick
you lie. . . you aren't sweltering . . . you are bringing about climate change while you have to put on a sweater in august because of the a/c! :-P
5:28 pm
MollyL
Also, they frown on foot washing at my place of business. : D
5:28 pm
crosshair
tell frank to hang in there.crossy is in his corner
5:29 pm
uusue2
last week he was dehydrated too (from the runs) so they gave him hydration too
5:29 pm
jmcnrick
well that i can understand molls
5:29 pm
crosshair
lol.nope.we get that from the coal generating stations
5:29 pm
jmcnrick
you generate coal?
5:29 pm
crosshair
yes,hydration is the key.because everything is getting purged
5:30 pm
MollyL
Yes, that is me. Responsible for global warming, the kidnapping of the Lindbergh baby, the shots fired from the grassy knoll and the downfall of Babble.
Ta Da!!!
5:30 pm
crosshair
no,the coal fired electric plants silly
5:30 pm
crosshair
seems canadians in sweaters in august are the culprit ,molly
5:30 pm
jmcnrick
good to know who you are molls. . . hahah
5:30 pm
uusue2
exactly, crosy!
5:30 pm
jmcnrick
well then if you are using electricity for a/c. . . . .
5:31 pm
crosshair
blame canada! eh?
5:31 pm
MollyL
I wouldn't want anyone thinking I was NancyBoy 2.0.
5:31 pm
jmcnrick
(but i didn't think you were old enough to have kidnapped the baby)
5:31 pm
crosshair
we also use it for lights and gasp! cooking
5:31 pm
jmcnrick
great song! blame canada!!
5:31 pm
uusue2

5:32 pm
jmcnrick
i use natural gas for cooking and have solar panels *straightens halo*
5:32 pm
crosshair
the kennedy magic bullet was from a box of ammo bout here.gasp!
5:32 pm
crosshair
do you pocket compost,jmc?
5:33 pm
jmcnrick
cosd said the only reason he was willing to have his pic with me at the meet up was so that people would know he was not nancyboy
5:33 pm
MollyL
Yes, it's true. I am really 82. : O
5:33 pm
uusue2
we are renting now, no more on-demand hot water heater or ceiling radiant heat panels
5:33 pm
jmcnrick
I compost in my back yard right here in the city!
5:33 pm
jmcnrick
wow molls you look young for your age!
5:33 pm
uusue2
we are still composing, though...
5:34 pm
jmcnrick
i hate my on demand hotwater heater i must say. . .
5:34 pm
MollyL
I have a Doran Gray mirror in my attic.
5:34 pm

5:35 pm

lol,i ahve jimmy hoffa buried in my basement
5:35 pm
jmcnrick
*shudder* that book scared me more than any other one i ever read. . . .
5:36 pm
uusue2
I liked my on-demand heater, only trouble was it was a long way from anything so took hot water a long time to arrive. Once it finally did it never ran out, though
5:36 pm
crosshair
i have yet to experience the joys of on demand hot water systems
5:36 pm
jmcnrick
mine runs out for some fool reason. . .i think the guy who installed it screwed it up. . .
5:37 pm
uusue2
they need cleaning every now and then too
5:40 pm
jmcnrick
it has been this way since the getgo. . . the hvac guy who saved me from carbonmonoxide poisoning didn't like the way the hotwater heater was installed but i did have enough money to deal with it. . .
5:40 pm
MollyL
The problem with being environmentally correct (green is so trendy) is that it costs a lot more than most people can afford.
5:42 pm
jmcnrick
actually the solar panels are pretty affordable. . . you can have them installed and rent them. . .
5:42 pm
welki
<-- will do her bit for the environment later by tossing the cherry from her manhattan into the garden compost - hi, everyone!
5:42 pm
jmcnrick
and composting is free and so is recycling. . .
5:42 pm
welki
uhm .. nevermind. i'll eat it :)
5:43 pm
uusue2
I was just going to point out that composting is cheap
5:43 pm
jmcnrick
thata gilr welki!
5:43 pm
uusue2
you can still compost the stem, welki :-)
5:43 pm
jmcnrick
toss the stem (after you tie it into a know with your tongue)
5:43 pm
MollyL
I was referring to home stuff, like water heaters and solar panels.
5:44 pm
jmcnrick
well the ondemand water heater wasn't a lot more expensive than a regular one when i needed a regular one i just switched.. . .
5:44 pm
uusue2
a geothermal heat pump costs about twice what a regular heating and A/C system would, but pays for itself in 4-5 years
5:44 pm
jmcnrick
on the other hand i drive my car a lot. . . .so we all do different things. . .
5:44 pm
MollyL
Oh my god, is that cherry stem knot myth still being perpetuated?
5:45 pm
uusue2
I had a friend who lived in the next town over who put one in and said that if she put solar panels on her roof she could go completely off the grid
5:45 pm
jmcnrick
my solar with the tax credit and such will pay for itself in 4 years. . .
5:45 pm
Kaplan the Magne
What- more myths?
5:45 pm
jmcnrick
myth? i used to do that all the time to impress the boys
5:45 pm
welki
ohhh i think you impressed them all right ;)
5:45 pm
jmcnrick
well it depends you have to pay extra for a battery set up uu
5:46 pm
jmcnrick
;-) i know i did. . .
5:46 pm
uusue2
my ex used to do that too (tie the cherry stem in a knot with his tongue)
5:46 pm
Kaplan the Magne
I can't take it anymore.
5:46 pm
welki
now, THAT impresses me, sue *lol*
5:46 pm
MollyL
<----Did not need to do antics with cherry stems to impress the boys (brings out the big guns)
5:46 pm
jmcnrick
even more impressive for a guy to do it! haha
5:47 pm
jmcnrick
what can't you take kap?
5:47 pm
uusue2
unfortunately it was about the only impressive thing about him
5:48 pm
jmcnrick
should i brew you a cup of tea? chamomile? (you're not asthmatic are you?)
5:48 pm
welki
pull up a stool, kap - what's wrong
5:48 pm
crosshair
yup,everyone is different as you say.we may run the a/c for all of july and august but our heat is on a lots less.my brother in henderson nevada has 2!! central a/cunits and burns through 1000 a month in electricity ro run them in that kind of heat
5:48 pm
MollyL
Sorry, but as a former bartender that cherry stem thing got old fast.
5:48 pm
crosshair
that cherry stem commercial make all the guys come to a grinding mesmerized halt lol
5:49 pm
Kaplan the Magne
Nothing- I just don't understand.
5:49 pm
welki
i don't see a big difference between heating/cooling costs here or back east
5:49 pm
jmcnrick
as a cocktail waitress it got me extra tips. . .
5:49 pm

Everyone has to do what is feasible for them, in terms of being environmentally positive.

Heehee is so a word, and a necessaryone.

Well yeah, but you were a cocktail waitress who flashed your assets (see the "how I met my husband" story)

i wasn't a cocktail waitress for that story molls
5:51 pm
Kaplan the Magne
I have to find Mael. I can't believe she lives righ here.

more of a tushy man myself
5:53 pm

if she's who i think she is - but i'm old and decrepit - could be mistaken
5:53 pm

Crap. She will out me to the professional community.

my name is crossy m and i am a babbler.
5:55 pm
RoundBarn
i'm going to make babble chat an assignment--what short stories can you get out of the box? I see hundreds. Bye, off to supper--I picked dandelion greens
5:56 pm
MollyL
Oh...nice try. There is no anonymity pledge here. Remember, Babbler is an anagram for Blabber.

Dropping in for some Sunday afternoon chat, and the elusive search for 43 more

6:08 pm
momof5

6:09 pm
momof5
Yes. I would say 'race you to the finish', but I tend to be slow at this game
6:10 pm
crayola
Hah. Me too.
6:10 pm
momof5
I will concede now and save us both the stress
6:11 pm
crayola
lol thanks.
6:12 pm
momof5
just listed, and realized all the N words only have 4 letters
6:13 pm
crayola
yes, easy to identify that way. But one of them still tripped me up. I am easily tripped.
6:13 pm
momof5
missing 1 in each section...
6:14 pm
momof5
and found them all!
6:15 pm
momof5
amazing how easy it is to find words with the list - haha
6:15 pm
crayola
yes. I definitely need Lickety's list.
6:16 pm
momof5
Do you not use it, or not have access to it?
6:16 pm
crayola
I use it when I can't find any more on my own.
6:17 pm
momof5
I hit that about 5 words ago
6:17 pm
crayola
I wouldn't be able to finish without it, I'm sure.
6:17 pm
momof5
I've only finished without Lickety a couple times
6:18 pm
momof5
The other times only due to Lickety and clues in the chog - or I don't finish
6:18 pm
crayola
Yep. Same here.
6:19 pm
momof5
Either way, it's my way of relaxing and enjoying chat time
6:25 pm

Hi Liz. Enjoying your house to yourself? : )
7:14 pm
Lizlin
Back to try to finish the last 15!
7:15 pm
Lizlin
Absolutely, Molly! Just finished a very leisurely breakfast, sitting outside, watching the birds and enjoying the quiet!!
7:16 pm
crosshair
sounds like a wonderful way to have breakfast;)
7:16 pm
MollyL
No one to tend to or entertain except yourself. Nice.
7:16 pm
Lizlin
Hi Crossy - yes it is. About 20C outside at 10 am!
7:17 pm
crosshair
we were 5c today and sunny.was nice,but still too early to move breakfast outside
7:17 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
i found Valerie Azlynn in the IMDB, is that her?
7:17 pm
Lizlin
It's relaxing for sure and we were saying how nice it is to have the house to ourselves, with no guests expected! Lovely to have them here, but good when they're gone!
7:18 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
had to scrape the car this morning 8-(
7:18 pm
MollyL
You guys kind of went on overkill in the guest department. : )
7:18 pm
Lizlin
But spring is on the way for you all :)
7:18 pm
crosshair
yup,was minus 6 at sunrise this morning here,gwen
7:18 pm
Lizlin
I think it got down to 15 last night!
7:19 pm
MollyL
Harry! How did you survive the awful events of this week?
7:19 pm
HarryHood
still in CT, molly
7:19 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
we did have 1 day last week when i opened windows and wore a light jacket, but then back to the winter routine
7:19 pm
HarryHood
we're shopping for a house there, and ours is for sale here
7:20 pm
MollyL
Ah, I thought you had moved by now. Glad you were at a distance.
7:20 pm
HarryHood
dw is driving there right now - starts her new job tomorrow
7:20 pm
HarryHood
on friday we were wondering if she'd even start, till they found the guy in the boat
7:21 pm
Lizlin
I guess, Molly that people like visiting Australia and knowing that we're living here gives our friends a place to visit, knowing that they can stay here.
7:22 pm
HarryHood
wow! got nbt really easily on this grid....I have a feeling it's to instill some sense of false security
7:22 pm
Lizlin
It's a friendly grid.
7:23 pm
HarryHood
hope so, liz, cause I'm running on like 1.5 cylinders tonight
7:23 pm
HarryHood
and I haven't babbled in months
7:24 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
that means your brains are all rebooted and ready to kill the grid fast, harry!
7:24 pm
Lizlin
I'm down to 11 - went to list at about 30 and have only used a dictionary twice! So it can't be bad!
7:24 pm
HarryHood
100 to go :)
7:27 pm
HarryHood
halfway!
7:29 pm
Lizlin
If you go to Lickety, Harry - he has an extra word - tu 7, which is not accepted by enable.
7:30 pm
MollyL
Attention all people who play Babble: You can use the list. You can use the dictionary. You do not have to feel guilty about doing that. This is a word game where you find words and learn new words. All good.
: D
7:30 pm
HarryHood
good to know. ty
7:31 pm
Lizlin
Just so Molly - but it's all about the personal challenge for me! How far can I get at each step!
7:31 pm
Lizlin
That should've been ? at the end!
7:33 pm
dan2bit
lickety has a fake word today?
7:33 pm
MollyL
And the personal challenge is well and as it should be. It's just that people always sound guilty about getting help. Especially using the list. Meanwhile, they have been getting help from clues the whole time they didn't use the list. It just confuses me at times.
7:34 pm
Lizlin
I'm just pleased if I can do as much as possible before I use help!
7:34 pm
MollyL
Turnons. All one word. Think of it what you will, 2Bit.
7:34 pm
Lizlin
Love the pic of your daughter, Dan
7:35 pm
MollyL
But aren't clues help? I've never gotten why people are okay with clues and seem to feel guilty about using the list.
7:35 pm
Lizlin
5 left! Probably time for clues or a dictionary!
7:35 pm
dan2bit
tx Lizlin! and Molly, I'm WAY ahead on that :-P

I'll hush now. What I think never seems to make sense to anyone else here.
7:36 pm
Minveryork
Hello to my fellow babblers!How is everybody doing today?
7:36 pm
Minveryork
By the way, congratulations to all the finishers! Way to go!

Helloo, Min and everyone else.
7:37 pm

7:37 pm
dan2bit

7:38 pm
Lizlin
Clues for the last pa 5 / 16 - after the celebration, please.
7:38 pm
BzznBea
It makes perfect sense to me, Molly. And I get irritated at those that get pissy when they are not given a clue quick enough.
7:38 pm
Lizlin
Sometimes people are just deep in the grid and don't see the request - or the chog is moving too quickly!
7:38 pm
HarryHood
I have one who is remitted, liz
7:38 pm
BzznBea
Blink again, Dan, and you will be walking her down the aisle.

speaking of guilt, I'm gonna get some ice cream....and then list

Lizlin
Enjoy the ice cream :)
7:40 pm

Lizlin
I've noticed that!
7:41 pm
Minveryork
Perfecto dan2bit!
7:42 pm
BzznBea
Yes, those are the ones. And it is usually "someone" who has to finish the list before they head out to some event.
7:42 pm

10:15 pm
uusue2
Nine was a musical based on Fellini's film 8 1/2, my son was in a local production when he was little (playing Fellini as a child) - I took him to all the rehearsals and performances so saw it many times

If you have the pe5/12 (which adds the cross letter to the fruit), add the "more so" ending for the 7, and the "most" ending for the 8
