What was the story book, Rose?
5:48 am

liz, i had to order a special book for my niece. it did not become available until the last week. when she unwrapped it, it was a perfect frozen moment. the book was " a shark in the park "
5:52 am

Listening to it now - did you know you can hear / see it on YouTube?
5:52 am
Lizlin
A shark? Fancy that, it's only a cat! I love it, Rose!
5:53 am
grannyrose
i don't understand. lickety is on-line. and yet he doesn't post a list.
5:53 am
Lizlin
Wish Lickety's list would post - though thanks to Dee and the others who helped her compile her list. I'm sure I'll head to that before too long.
5:54 am

liz, she nearly did back-flips when she realised what the book was.
5:54 am

I worked in the campus art gallery back when I was in school, was constantly amazed at the stuff that passed for "art" even back then. one person had a thing for grafitti on old doors, mostly made me want to strip and stain the poor doors, lol
1:44 pm
mattygroves
As a friend of mine commented on FB upon seeing that - n I thought art was to relieve anxiety Not produce it!! Oh yes, let's get our daily fix of anxiety as we don't get enough of it already!
1:44 pm

but of course the medium didn't co4 them much, which may have been important to a broke college art student.

French for a military billet in a small town - try cave with a difference consonant for the second syllable, and a vowel at the end

2:26 pm
mattygroves
Um, I'm saying ug about this grid
2:27 pm
helensgirlkid
There's a funny board game, played with little disks that you try to bounce into pockets at the corners ( I haven't played since I was a kid, so this is pretty vague!) and the little disks are called car*** (pl) and then you give them a gerund.
2:27 pm
MollyL
Me too Nan
2:27 pm
mattygroves
ug6/30 - this grid is ug - like - it's really got a little bit of ug (the last four letters mean not many but...)
2:28 pm

As to dinner - I'm putting it on a great tray and ***ving it at the table!
2:28 pm

2:30 pm
MollyL
She is not carving it Nan, she is ***ving it to her guests
2:30 pm

These are wooden disks and you bounce them off the sides of the board - it's sort of like pool, without cues, and disks instead of balls.
2:30 pm

Which Italian city?

I've given up looking at definitions for this grid. I just don't care anymore.

Hello, Babblers! I first started to babble many years ago, and finally gave up because I was fed up with all the Scottish and Old English words as well as the obscure coinage of small countries. Also, the never-used alternate spellings, such as today's ci** which is usually spelled sci**. So, yes, Nan, I did care. Now I'm back to babbling (for a week or so already), and trying hard not to care what these words mean. It's less frustating that way, but not very satisfying.
4:30 pm
ChampFit
remembering the definition doesn't seem to help me remember the word. In fact, I think I'm more scrambled than before I started! ;)
4:31 pm
MollyL
I don't remember words I don't use in conversation or writing. And since I am not a word snob, who would use these words in either, I am prone to forget most of them.
4:31 pm
ChampFit
Good point.
