5:02 am

sprite

hello dear friend *hugs* How did your day go?

5:03 am

grannyrose

my day has been quiet. church this morning. how was your visit with the new baby?

5:04 am

sprite

aw she was adorable. A very content, easygoing baby. And she loved the toy, gave it quite a workout right away :)

5:05 am

grannyrose

well done you. it's lovely when you see that something you have made is appreciated. even if it is in dribble.

5:05 am

sprite

*giggles* I make all my baby presents dribble-proof and easy to wash.

5:06 am

grannyrose

good for you.

5:06 am

grannyrose

what did they call her?

5:07 am

sprite

Hayden.

5:07 am

grannyrose

pretty. does it suit her?

5:08 am

sprite

yeah I think so. And they are lovely parents.

5:09 am

sprite

did you have a lovely sermon in church?

5:09 am

grannyrose

yes. it was a young woman, newly ordained as a deaconess.

5:10 am

sprite

ah exciting. Glad she handled herself well.

5:11 am

grannyrose

*giggle* poor kid. we sing an intro to the gospel, and she forgot how it went. so we sang the first two lines, and she readily picked it up. *stage fright *

5:11 am

sprite

yeah exactly. quite a brave thing to do, getting in front of a parish the first time.

5:12 am

sprite

glad you guys pulled her through, grin. If the audience is helpful, it isn't half as scary anymore

5:12 am

sprite

fi

5:13 am

grannyrose

ooohhhh, close spritey.

5:13 am

sprite

lolol

5:14 am

grannyrose

*grin*

5:19 am

sprite

is the pain level doable? Recovered from your overtaxing at le5? And how is Don?

5:20 am

sprite

homicile - where a killer lives

5:20 am

grannyrose

pain is quite prominent. next cortisone shot tomorrow. infusion the day after. i am taking it minute by minute. it's the only way

5:21 am

grannyrose

very good sprite. put it in

5:21 am

sprite

ugh, not easy. Indeed, minute by minute, and keep breathing. Wish it were tomorrow already. Think of how you will feel post infusion and shot though!

5:23 am

grannyrose

yeah, wednesday is gonna better GREAT!!!

5:23 am

sprite

absolutely. And girl, you better make sure you don't overdo stuff!

5:23 am

grannyrose

5:25 am

grannyrose

roflol

5:27 am

grannyrose

how are you coping with food now, honey?

5:29 am

sprite

okayish. Warm food is still a challenge, most days. I can eat crackers and toast pretty easily, if I eat slowly. Fruit is no problem. Yoghurt mostly ok too.

5:30 am

grannyrose

i am sure you will get there, sweetie. it seems the slower you go, the faster you move forward.

5:31 am

sprite

yeah it is a bit frustrating, because the first few days I could eat everything. But it is ok, I will find out how and when in due time

5:32 am

grannyrose

the are a spate of scam phone calls here. supposedly by our government tax office. problem, the guy can hardly speak english, he tells us we have a lawsuit against us, and that the police are on their way to arrest os. what a dreeb!!!

5:33 am

sprite

lolollllll how pathetic

5:33 am

sprite

well finally, the 11

5:33 am

grannyrose

wow!!! well done sprite

5:34 am

sprite

pfff am almost done. Ah well, what el4 is new, I am notoriously biggie-blind

5:34 am

grannyrose

not tonight you're not.

5:35 am

sprite

actually, I am, lol. Finding them last of everything and only with the help of a2z

5:37 am

grannyrose

well last isn't so bad. at least you have an idea which tile they come from

5:37 am

sprite

too true. My saving grace, grin

5:39 am

sprite

fireflies

5:40 am

grannyrose

WTG SPRITE!!!!

5:40 am

sprite

rururocks

It is cryptic mlf

8:29 am

MLFAN17

8:35 am

rururocks

In alabama sh6 comes with muscles. Sh8 builds on that

8:37 am

MollyL

Sweet Home

8:37 am

rururocks

Exactly

8:40 am

robwhy

clue for the v?

8:41 am

MollyL

Ru, be proud of me. I looked up a grid word and learned a wine making term. : D

8:41 am

MollyL

The V is like cartoon Mr. Simpson only with a V

8:42 am

robwhy

have never watched the simpsons...my bad

8:43 am

robwhy

how many letters?

8:43 am

penquis

think iliad....

8:43 am

wvteach

VO 5/18

8:44 am

robwhy

lol, if I haven't seen the simpsons, do you think I've read the iliad??

8:44 am

penquis

but do you know who wrote it??

8:44 am

MollyL

Gee, sorry. I thought The Simpsons was popular enough to at least know who the characters are.

8:44 am

wvteach

clued at 8:09

8:44 am

robwhy

oh hello. yes I know who wrote it Thanks

8:45 am

penquis

ok....think a four bagger in baseball....

8:46 am

rururocks

I read the iliad all the time when I am watching the Simpsons

8:46 am

penquis

i had to take Cultural Heritage in college.....we started with the Greeks...

8:47 am

robwhy

that may explain my limited worldview...

8:47 am

rururocks

Everything starts with the greeks.ðŸ˜

8:47 am

robwhy

I can't remember the words to Sweet Home either.

8:48 am

penquis

you can always look it up.... ;o)

8:48 am

rururocks

More of where lynrd skynrd lived

8:49 am

MollyL

The Simpsons is about to begin it's 27th year on TV. I thought Ho6 had become kind of a well known pop culture figure.

8:49 am

penquis

i have never watched an episode....only a minute or two here and there...

8:50 am

rururocks

Me neither. Cartoons are for kids

8:50 am

robwhy

I could think only of Bart. There is a Bart, right?

8:55 am

MollyL

Lots of people didn't watch Star Trek. But they knew of Mr. Spock and Captain Kirk.

8:56 am

MollyL

Cartoons are for kids...what an old fart thing to say. Ru, seriously, if you watch no other episode, you should watch the South Park Facebook episode. It's the best satire of Facebook I've seen.

8:57 am

MLFAN17

molly 27th year? I thought they had their last aired new episode at least two or three years ago?

8:57 am

MollyL

And if you go back and watch Looney Tunes, a lot of the humor was geared to adults.

8:59 am

MLFAN17

i read the iliad and a long time ago i watched the Simpson's

9:00 am

MollyL

No, like I said, The Simpsons is about to start it's 27th season. It's been on longer than Gunsmoke was.

9:00 am

MLFAN17

CO8 clue please?

9:01 am

MollyL

Another MOST ending word

9:01 am

MollyL

Not that I agree that it's really a word.

9:01 am

MLFAN17

i don't think it is a word

9:02 am

MollyL

If Pen is still here, co8 is another red circle on the paper turned in word. "That is the co8 mine I've ever seen," said the man from West Virginia.

9:03 am

MLFAN17

it has a definition

9:03 am

penquis

here!....and agreed!

9:03 am

MollyL

Well, the definition given here is for co5 not co8

9:04 am

rururocks

Old fart?

9:04 am

MLFAN17

No i stand corrected molly i read theOdyssey and loved it. I read the list of characters in the iliad and said NOPE too confusing for me

9:04 am

MLFAN17

still need the a 9 and the 11 for nbs

9:06 am

penquis

the 9 uses the most ending....builds on another sh word...

9:07 am

MollyL

Sad day for all the women who read chick novels. Jackie Collins passed.

9:10 am

MLFAN17

i never read any of her books but i always liked her

9:10 am

MollyL

And damn, how did Joan Collins get to be 82???

9:11 am

MLFAN17

pen sh?

9:11 am

MLFAN17

its el 9/11?

9:11 am

penquis

sh 5....sh + some heat with **** (also a word in the grid that we have talked about just a minute or two ago).....

9:12 am

penquis

should have been c***.....

9:12 am

MLFAN17

got it ty pen

9:13 am

penquis

yw...

9:13 am

penquis

9:13 am

penquis

9:13 am

MLFAN17

sorry pen

9:14 am

MLFAN17

can someone clue the 11 please?

9:14 am

MollyL

e + not first + most of Mr. Simpson + most of frozen water

9:16 am

MLFAN17

thank you molly

9:17 am

MLFAN17

Biltong

You're on the right track, Judi :)

10:10 am

mkg

ok question: is it all of mr. simpsons name or part? is it all of the opp of first or not?

10:11 am

Judi

Well, bully! Now attempting to monkey the rest of it.

10:11 am

mkg

i got it. whew. dont use the first letter of mr. simpsons name!

10:11 am

Biltong

Yay, mkg :)

10:11 am

MollyL

Opposite of first means the whole word. MOST of Mr Simpson means MOST of his name, not ALL

10:11 am

Judi

I found it too.

10:14 am

MollyL

I guess the "most of frozen water" part was understood

10:15 am

10:29 am

HarryHood

10:29 am

HarryHood

nm on the i

10:32 am

MollyL

Harry, you better get that second row E or el4

10:33 am

HarryHood

doh!

10:33 am

HarryHood

nbt and halfway...and nbs except for the 11 :)

10:33 am

MollyL

And thank you Harry for knowing who the cartoon Mr Simpson is

10:33 am

Judi

Also known as Bart and Lisa's father.

10:33 am

HarryHood

was this a discussion earlier?

10:34 am

HarryHood

what about poor baby maggie?

10:34 am

Judi

This is serious shit, Harry. Try to keep up!

10:35 am

MollyL

It never occurred to me that even people who had never watched the show would not know "cartoon Mr Simpson" in a clue, but I was wrong

10:35 am

HarryHood

Judi I'm so behind the times, I still think the simpsons is part of the tracy ullman show

10:36 am

Judi

Oh dear. Harry needs a sitcom intervention.

10:36 am

HarryHood

OK - why is folic not acceptable?

10:36 am

MollyL

The Simpsons were drawn weirdly when they were on The Tracy Ullman show.

10:36 am

HarryHood

grrr

10:36 am

HarryHood

remember the good old days on fox...herman's head...parker lewis can't lose..

10:37 am

HarryHood

yeah - they had some huge overbites!

10:37 am

HarryHood

matt groening unleashed

10:37 am

Judi

They were drawn crudely. I think third graders were doing the animation.

10:38 am

MollyL

Harry, I agree about folic. But you know Enable, only focuses on weird mammals and foreign currency.

10:41 am

Judi

Enable is folically challenged.

10:42 am

Judi

Clue for As6, please?

10:43 am

MollyL

I burn more wood, so my fireplace is as6 than yours

10:43 am

Judi

Ty.

10:53 am

Judi

That's fireworks for me! Amen!

10:53 am

Judi

Deliciously refreshing breeze today. Think I'll go out there and suck some of it up into my snout.

11:08 am

MollyL

It's gorgeous here too. I took this opportunity to spruce up the patio a bit. Almost time to call it quits with the tomato and cucumber plants, but not yet.

11:34 am

hi crossy, phae, Molly, Judi

11:55 am

turqaz

bichon: sounds like little slippers

11:55 am

turqaz

also sounds like little donkeys

11:56 am

bichon

sorry turq, don't understand

11:58 am

turqaz

sounds like little donkeys, but not spelled like them; there's an odd-looking consonant in there

11:59 am

bichon

are you talking about the first mu 7 or the second?

11:59 am

turqaz

the first; that's what you asked for

12:00 pm

bichon

yest, but I don't understand.

12:00 pm

mattygroves

mu + consonant plus untruths

12:01 pm

turqaz

thx matty; i was reaching for that

12:01 pm

bichon

ty matty and turq, that consonant was what was throwing me off

12:02 pm

mattygroves

Is there an mu7 (I've not listed) between that word and more squishy?

12:02 pm

bichon

do you have the second mu 7?

12:02 pm

mattygroves

I love the necklace in your profile pic, Turq!

12:03 pm

mattygroves

I don't know, Bich, I haven't listed. I have the MU7 that we were just clued and more squishy

12:03 pm

turqaz

2nd mu 7: more like polenta

12:04 pm

bichon

ty turq and matty

12:04 pm

turqaz

thx matty; yw bichon

12:04 pm

mattygroves

Yep, I had both. Have gone to the list now. I guess I should have asked whether there were more than 2 MU7s :)

12:06 pm

bichon

mattygroves

Never mind - got it!

12:23 pm

turqaz

go hursh

12:24 pm

mattygroves

I got confused because I had misplaced a word in the list (I'm on a mac) and so had too many words completed in the list compared to the game

12:24 pm

MollyL

No fast enough Hursh. Lately, you have to clue in under 30 seconds.
: D

12:25 pm

hurshy

as long as i get it to show up before the "nevermind" i'm ok

12:25 pm

mattygroves

I am missing the Ha5 an 6 after the golden circle my other half has on his head as he has been dry and smokefree since 1 September (I'm going to take a chainsaw to that ha4 before too long)

12:25 pm

hurshy

hawaiian word for white people?

12:25 pm

MollyL

Thank God for that Spanish cheer

12:25 pm

hurshy

why isn't folic a word? folic acid?

12:25 pm

mattygroves

I have absolutely no idea what the Hawaiian word for white people is

12:26 pm

turqaz

ha + spanish cheer

12:26 pm

hurshy

use the spanish cheer again matty :)

12:26 pm

mattygroves

However, Google does

12:26 pm

mattygroves

Thanks

12:27 pm

MollyL

Interesting. That word is in grids fairly often and is usually clued the way Hursh clued it.

12:27 pm

hurshy

ah, i love people who are sensible enough to google

12:27 pm

mattygroves

Yeah - I need to learn to pay more attention :) Also, generally I didn't used to Babble every day - I do at the moment but that is because of circumstance

12:28 pm

turqaz

hope to see y'all tomorrow *poof*

Could have sworn that had a C in it but there you go

12:35 pm

hurshy

any long ones clue would be so lovely :) 8's 9's or 11

12:36 pm

mattygroves

For the 9 and the 11 start with EL - word for what keeps your underwear on (strechy rubber)

12:37 pm

mattygroves

You can get 8s and 9s by going to the SH - the most beachy and the most loose rocky

12:37 pm

hurshy

ah thank you

12:39 pm

No worries. One left

Hi Bichon, Blah, and Lurkerz :)

1:23 pm

TraderKate

jes... hubby should know that babble time is inviolate ;)

1:24 pm

jesdraggon

nah... babble time is scattered through the day. making it inviolate would mean he can never talk to me.

1:24 pm

TraderKate

lol...

1:24 pm

bichon

so what's so bad about that )))))

1:25 pm

jesdraggon

well, i actually am kind of fond of my hubby

1:29 pm

TraderKate

Hi rbud :)

1:29 pm

rbud

mine's gone now for the afternoon - free chow at the bar a couple blocks away, whee!

1:30 pm

rbud

so I didn't even have to cook lunch. :D

1:30 pm

TraderKate

if he fills his pockets - there's dinner taken care of ;)

1:31 pm

rbud

good idea! Hmmm....

1:31 pm

bichon

I get annoyed when he puts in easy words I have missed

1:32 pm

1:43 pm

1:43 pm

rururocks

quality sushi is amazing, but buying in a supermarket or off a conveyor belt can be risky

1:47 pm

MollyL

Yeah, they are getting their hats handed to them Ru

1:47 pm

dan2bit

then again, wasabi can make most anything good :-)

1:47 pm

rururocks

it's pretty ugly

1:48 pm

rbud

ah, football - it is to that I owe the lack of having to cook lunch, they have a spread on football Sundays. Quite sure Hubs had no idea who was playing, though, he's like that. "I'm just here for the food" - lol

1:48 pm

MollyL

Who has a spread?

1:49 pm

rururocks

I'm looking at a 4-12 team this year.. ugh

1:49 pm

dan2bit

the Pope has already rendered DC basically inaccessible, and he doesn't even get here until Tuesday

1:52 pm

MollyL

So, no work for the Feds until the Pope leaves? I don't see how they can get to work if DC is inaccessible.

1:54 pm

dan2bit

telecommuting for those who can

1:54 pm

rbud

the bar downtown has food on football Sundays all season, a better excuse than usual for Hubs to go there, lol

1:54 pm

rbud

(in answer to Molly, earlier)

1:54 pm

dan2bit

mu7 the first one?

1:55 pm

TraderKate

rhymes with "bummies" - tu word...

1:56 pm

dan2bit

I think that's the second mu7?

1:56 pm

TraderKate

fungus.. not "shrooms, but mu*****

1:57 pm

TraderKate

dan there is a pl and a comparative...

1:57 pm

TraderKate

both are mu 7/40

1:57 pm

rbud

first one is like, unclue-able, lol - like the stubbornest of horselike critters with an extra consonant after the "mu" and no T on the end

1:58 pm

Anniebrook

mu + consonant + untruths (clue I saw this morning)

1:58 pm

dan2bit

got it thanks all

1:58 pm

rbud

Why is merde accepted but merci is not? Just curious

4:41 pm

Maybe so :)

Thanks cos

4:49 pm

Should have seen that

4:49 pm

no prob! :)

4:52 pm

anyone know what the mu7.40 means - I have it, just curious about the meaning (no def)

4:53 pm

cosdem

more lovey dovey?

4:53 pm

lynxxx

wow

4:54 pm

cosdem

I dont know Im just guessing :P

4:55 pm

lynxxx

perhaps you'd better not sidle up to anyone and say it then - you might get a slap accross the face

4:57 pm

tabbycat

the first 4 letters refer to a soft cornmeal dish, kind of an American version of polenta, ( but not as good). So more like that would mean soft and mu--y.

4:57 pm

tabbycat

And the mu 7 would be even more so

4:58 pm

TraderKate

looks like everyone came back :)

4:59 pm

TraderKate

Hi lyn, cos, tabby, and jes :)

4:59 pm

lynxxx

OK - and after I searched around I found an american grass called mu7 - perhaps the grain from that makes the dish tabby talks about

5:00 pm

lynxxx

hi Kate

5:01 pm

TraderKate

hi lyn, I was just searching too... nothing in Oxford dictionary.. even for a root word...

5:02 pm

tabbycat

If you google the first four letters you'll find it. The dish is made from cornmeal

5:04 pm

MollyL

Cornmeal is a grain made from corn, not grass. Not sure that the grass definition has anything to do with the cornmeal dish. It's a strange word with no real definition.

5:04 pm

lynxxx

Actually it seems the roots of the mu** bullrush is combined with cornmeal to make the dish

5:06 pm

TraderKate

at any rate, it doesn't sound too appetizing...

5:09 pm

72 Temple Owl

hi all

5:09 pm

5:10 pm

The dish I'm talking about is just cornmeal cooked with salt and water. Polenta is the same except with butter and sometimes parmesan added.
