12:49 am

mab

Good for you Baggo! You're very brave, and so sorely needed.

12:51 am

baggo

fine thanks...you do that blaze...lol

mab thanks for your support, i am a little nervous about going, but it's the one thing that i can do to help is to give of my time...so off i go..i will tell you the immunizations that i had to get were awful, my arms still hurt..

12:53 am

Blaze

Oh Baggo you poor thing.... it is for such a good cause... I have always wanted to help like you are doing but lack the skills. and it is too far away to just go and be a comforter... you will be protected and held

12:55 am

baggo

i know that is what i said when i got them.. and if i just help one person smile or feel better for just a moment then it's all worth it. your thoughts along blaze are a tremendous blessing and to know that i will be thought of next week is a great comfort to me..

12:57 am

Blaze

Our church pastor is down there right now on a fact finding and helping mission... he is in a small shrimp boat town.. out side of Sliddel (i think)

12:58 am

FMitch

and from this side of the pond too Baggo!!

12:59 am

Blaze

is anyone having trouble with the chat log freezing,,, disappearing and then reloading ???

12:59 am

baggo

the outpouring of support from around the world is what truly amazes me.

1:00 am

FMitch

log seems ok to me so far (famous last words)

1:01 am

Blaze

absolutely.... it truly is a small small world...when people communicate ...

1:01 am

baggo

hi fmitch...thanks i know that side of the pond is supportive. i truly am going to miss you all next week. but probably the week after when it's all said and done is when i'll need your thoughts. a friend just got back and said it will be like nothing i have ever seen before..

1:01 am

FMitch

we will be here waiting for you when you get back :)

1:02 am

baggo

you know blaze it really is. this game is evidence of that, we all bring whatever our background is and we just help people out. that's truly what it's all about both in the game and in our lives outside of here.

1:03 am

Blaze

baggo remember the walnut and the mustard seed.
The walnut is round and hardshelled with a soft nurising center.... so events will roll off when needed... and you only need faith the size of a mustard seed to get through anything.

1:03 am

baggo

thanks fmitch...dont find find all the words without me..lol

1:04 am

baggo

oh bless you blaze, that was truly wonderful, and i will take that thought with me, as it was my faith that kept nagging at me that i needed to do this..

1:05 am

Blaze

walnut trees and big oaks are seeds that stood firm... go get em baggo

1:06 am

baggo

i shall, i shall be on saturday will have to be my last puzzle, unless i can't sleep then i might play a bit before i go...

1:07 am

Blaze

2:37 am

macadam

Good morning Ferrari.Are we alone?

2:39 am

madhatter

good morning .... breakfast with Babble .... bliss

2:39 am

Hugabugs

Good morning - I'm still kicking about

p7/36 and c7/52

2:39 am

macadam

Hi madhatter.

2:40 am

SunnFlower

didn't think so, I think I'm getting paranoid

2:40 am

SunnFlower

morning hugs, madhatter

2:41 am

macadam

Early mornings,either pre work rush or concentrate on the words?

2:41 am

SunnFlower

lots of juicy words today by the look of it :)

2:42 am

macadam

Looks good so far.

2:43 am

madhatter

I almost wish it was pre-work, I've been off sick with a broken ankle for nearly four months, I'm actually looking forward to getting back to work but finding time for Babble will be tough.

2:44 am

SunnFlower

that sounds rough madhatter :(

2:44 am

macadam

It`s fine when you can choose to stay home ,compulsion is no fun.

2:45 am

SunnFlower

not even a compulsion to babble?

2:46 am

madhatter

being housebound and on crutches was the worst bit, no actually the 12 days in hospital waiting for the op was definitely the worst bit! On the mend now thou

2:46 am

macadam

Thats the exception to the rule.

2:47 am

SunnFlower

12 days is a long time when you're in pain

2:47 am

macadam

I don`t envy you one bit.I`m glad things are getting better and you can get back to normal soon.

2:48 am

madhatter

the really stupid thing is, all I did was twist my ankle by going over on my shoe and managed to break three bones!

2:49 am

madhatter

.... and before anyone says it ..... I don't do high heels!

2:50 am

macadam

It seems the simple accidents cause more problems than the dramatic ones.Lifes strange pattern.

2:50 am

Miyavi_fan

Looks like you and me are in the same boat, Madhatter! I'm being kept off school by the mother today

2:51 am

madhatter

Oh dear ... are you sick or are you being nurse?

2:52 am

macadam

Hi miyavi.You aren`t ill I hope.All the homework done too.

2:52 am

Miyavi_fan

A group of manic lumberjacks are attacking my throat :/

2:52 am

Miyavi_fan

Hm...almost, Macadam! Just got a tiny bit of algebra hanging over me

2:52 am

madhatter

sounds painful :(

2:53 am

SunnFlower

I know some one who broke an ankle then sprained her other ankle in the same way you did, she was in a real mess

2:53 am

macadam

Blame Lotti. She has a dreadful cold.Passed it down the line obviously!!

2:53 am

Miyavi_fan

Not as bad as a broken ankle...though I've never broken anything. However, I find crutches are quite fun to play with :)

2:54 am

Miyavi_fan

Heh...then it's Torgone we should all be worried about, Macadam :)

2:54 am

madhatter

apparently breaking all three bones in your ankle is really common ... I was in hospital with a guy who had jumped off a wall when drunk & he had both legs in plaster!

2:57 am

macadam

Not forgetting Anj and Lola .She`s gone to Meadowhall in Sheffield today.I can`t go as My eczema is back on my foot and I can`t get a shoe on.Aren`t we a merry bunch.

2:58 am

madhatter

it's toooooooo early for me ... I've just spent 15 minutes looking for the p7 I've already got !!! DOH!!!

2:58 am

Miyavi_fan

All us quarantined babblers...(hm, is that broken ankle contagious?)

2:59 am

madhatter

I hope not .... my other foot might catch it!

3:00 am

Miyavi_fan

I would say lol, but it hurts to laugh :)

3:00 am

macadam

I don`t fancy that Plaster on top of eczema.ITCHY.

3:01 am

SunnFlower

don't mention the itch to me ugh I'm fed up of it

3:03 am

SunnFlower

imagine taking the plaster off!

3:05 am

madhatter

when they pin & plate your foot they give you a removable cast ..... so you can take it of and scraaaaaaaaatch !!!!!

3:06 am

Miyavi_fan

pin your foot?! sounds painful...is it?

3:06 am

macadam

No thanks.My skin comes off easily enough when the eczema recurs.Fortunately not too often.It always surprises me how much it itches.You must get used to it although I wouldn`t believe anyone who told me that.

3:06 am

madhatter

VERY .... but my x-rays look great ..... I have a bionic foot!

3:07 am

macadam

Do you beep going through the airport check?

3:08 am

liz

this is the best board i have ever seen.

3:08 am

madhatter

no the metal work is all titanium so doesn't set off alarms

3:09 am

Miyavi_fan

still shuddering over what 'pinning a foot' might entail *shivers*

3:10 am

Hugabugs

3:10 am

3:17 am

SunnFlower

3:19 am

Miyavi_fan

Thanks, you too Macadam!

3:24 am

Daily Dog

Anyone interested in a script to click on the letters instead of having to type the words? Easy to install with greasemonkey.

3:27 am

Miyavi_fan

huh? greasemonkey?

3:27 am

Miyavi_fan

sorry, I'm a technophobe

3:28 am

Daily Dog

greasmonkey is a little firefox plugin that allows you to add your own features to sites.

3:28 am

Miyavi_fan

riiiight...sorry :)

3:30 am

Daily Dog

:-) It helps when you husband is a total computer freak.

3:31 am

Miyavi_fan

Heh...I'm too young to have a husband and I don't know any computer freaks, so I'll take your word for it ^_^

3:32 am

Daily Dog

LOL

3:34 am

SunnFlower

miyavi hope your throat doesn't get any s5/10!

3:35 am

Miyavi_fan

*grins* Thanks Ferrari...both for the thought and the clue ^_^

3:36 am

SunnFlower

how's the coursework doing?

3:41 am

Miyavi_fan

Ah...not too bad, thanks, Ferrari. I only get music coursework, because I'm doing that GSCE a year early. The rest is just regular homework (doesn't make it any less nasty though!)

3:42 am

SunnFlower

you sound like you enjoy it really :0)

3:45 am

Miyavi_fan

Oh yes, it's so difficult to find something as fun as homework! Maybe getting life-long 'flu?

3:47 am

SunnFlower

you never want to get proper flu you wouldn't be able to babble

3:48 am

Miyavi_fan

Ah, true, Ferrari. Though in my school homework causes "flu" amongst many students...

3:49 am

madhatter

ehh ... sorry guys but I'm curious ..... surely you can recoat something ... ie, with paint?

3:49 am

SunnFlower

I'll bet

3:50 am

SunnFlower

madhatter, rehem was allowed the other day but you can't resit exams apparently, so pass 1st time miyavi

3:52 am

Miyavi_fan

Thanks Ferrari, I'll try my best...not promising anything though :)

3:54 am

Miyavi_fan

I know what you mean, Madhatter, I was sure 'recoat' was a word! Unfortunately, my computer refuses to be persuaded, though I've tried bribing it

3:55 am

madhatter

as you can't recoat something ... it obviously can't be recoated either!!! FRUSTRATION is setting in ... time for a break. TTFN x

3:56 am

Miyavi_fan

Also have typed in 'recoat' many times...just to be sure! However, my computer is in a bit of a bad mood with me, since I just called her 'it' rather than her name.

3:56 am

SunnFlower

bye madhatter lol

3:57 am

SunnFlower

what's her name miyavi, mine's peanut

3:59 am

Miyavi_fan

Peanut! *gasps* my best friend's computer is called Peanut also! *falls to knees* A miracle!
Oh, the computer upstairs in my house is called Ida, and I named my Dad's computer Hercules. Of course.

4:01 am

SunnFlower

what a coincidence!

4:03 am

Miyavi_fan

A coincidence indeed...many inanimate objects in my house have names. Including (but definately not limited to) the chairs, the lights and the carpet in my room ^_^

4:05 am

SunnFlower

I would imagine that shoe you fell over is called something unrepeatable

4:05 am

Miyavi_fan

Already you know me far too well...

4:06 am

Miyavi_fan

BUT I must go now. See y'all later, when I come drawn back to babble. But now is sleepy time. zzzzz

4:07 am

SunnFlower

see you later have a good snooze lol

4:18 am

SunnFlower

Is anyone out there?

4:18 am

Jacula

Hi Ferrari and hello to all the sick & injured Babblers out there. I'm just keying what I've found on paper.

How are you today?

4:20 am

SunnFlower

Dianne

Hi Ferrari - How are you liking this one? I hated theone before and thisone isn't being any kinder to me:(

4:21 am

Jacula

4:21 am

SunnFlower

Hi Dianne, the bottom right hand corner is very lucrative

4:24 am

SunnFlower

4:25 am

Jacula

Dunno yet, F. Still keying in.

4:28 am

zoom

hi ferrari, your co9 builds off a co7/36. any clues for the c8 by chance?

4:30 am

Jacula

4:32 am

SunnFlower

4:33 am

zoom

4:33 am

SunnFlower

4:34 am

SunnFlower

4:35 am

SunnFlower

4:36 am

zoom

4:42 am

SunnFlower

4:43 am

Jacula

I meant I'd found 126 words. Got 132 left to find.:-( Will have to get back to them later. Gonna have a couple of boild eggs now, feed cats etc., etc. TTFN.

4:43 am

Jacula

*boiled eggs. See, my brain needs food! 'Bye again.

4:44 am

Anj

Morning ferrari, Jacula. I was think the same thing about the other co9 as well. I guess Enable is in one of 'those' moods...

4:45 am

SunnFlower

4:46 am

Anj ... I think u r right about the 'mood' cos there are a few words in this one that are not accepted which you could question

4:47 am

lola100

No worries babe :)
Left you a message at last :)

4:48 am

Anj

Your're right mad...Imean if you can make 3 x c6 out of the c4 you wear, why can't you do it to the longer stuff.
That's english for you. It knows when it's coming and going but doesn't bother to tell you lol

4:50 am

bodkinz

and 2 of the c6's can have another letter infront of them to make a couple of c7's

4:51 am

lola100

You can make 3x c6? I've only got two... :( And I've just had a look at the stats, all those 8's and 9's.....is this one as bad as it looks?!

4:51 am

bodkinz

ummm yes :)

4:52 am

Jacula

Oh - a couple of clues before I disappear for a while.
The old 60s/70s DJ known as Emperor is in there (ro6/24). He's just below the gnawing creature (ro6/21) on the list.

4:52 am

bodkinz

sorry not c 7's but you get the idea

4:55 am

SunnFlower

great clues , the r and d 9's sound the same

5:04 am

Anj

...whoops, in non-Babble land for a mo there :/

Yup, 3rd c6 is a double vowel ending :)

5:06 am

lola100

*slaps forehead* Of course, should have remembered that one! Be te6/21 with me today babe, I think I'm going to need it!!!

5:08 am

Anj

Blimey Jacula, that's stirred a memory lol... Emperor Ro6/24. Didn't he come to R1 from Radio Luxembourg?

5:08 am

Anj

SunnFlower

For those who, like me, can't go to show all messages without going into deep freeze - I've found that I can access old posts by doing "prev 50" or "next 50" - this doesn't seem to cause meltdown. You probably all knew that already, but I only discovered it yesterday.

7:11 am

SunnFlower

carolecs I've now got the same thanks to everybody. will see you all later lol

7:12 am

Miyavi_fan

See ya Ferrari ^_^

7:12 am

Eva

re all the sore throats and colds...there is a wonderful remedy available, at leasy in the uS, which actually works and can be purchased at any pharmacy. It's called Zicam and is a throat spary which you use at the first sign of a cold. sore throat, whatever. It is mainly zinc, and has been shown in solid research to head things off or to seriously lessen the duration and severity of colds. My family and friends have been using it for several years now and it is amazing. But you have to use it early on and keep using it until the aliens stop attacking. the mucous membranes. I promise I hold no stock in the product!

7:12 am

SunnFlower

it's alright Britain needs lurks

7:14 am

carolecs

I use Echinacea when people around me start to get colds, 9 times out of 10 I then avoid them.

7:14 am

SunnFlower

thanks eva you're a mine of information , what would we do without you lol

7:14 am

Miyavi_fan

Thanks Eva, will check that out. Hopefully the aspirin will bully the sore throat into submission though

7:15 am

Minski

I like Airborne but you have to take it either before you get sick or at the 1st symptoms.

7:15 am

Bobsta

carolecs: Echinachea, brilliant stuff! ;o)

7:15 am

carolecs

Ooh, I just googled Zicam 1st thingy was about side effects ie loss of taste or smell, no smell can't taste chocolate bad zicam

7:16 am

Jera

I'm a big fan of Echinacea, too... great stuff!

7:16 am

Eva

The colds or the people? Avoiding that is. Avoiding people would definitely work - but I sort of like them (some of the time anyway) (-:

7:16 am

Miyavi_fan

*gasps* What is life without taste?!

7:16 am

Jera

Oh, good morning, all... hadda jump in with herbal remedies endorsement, LOL!

7:16 am

SunnFlower

what's Airborne, apart from planes that is

7:17 am

Miyavi_fan

*stifles gag about birds*

7:17 am

carolecs

Red wine would be tasteless,so would steak, oysters life would be crappier

7:17 am

Miyavi_fan

*covers ears* I refuse to listen, Carolecs!

7:17 am

EvaNadine

ferrari -- it was invented by a teacher and its called airborne cause its mainly used on planes, but basically, its a pill that protects you from like every germ thats carried in the air...
pretty neat stuff!

7:18 am

SunnFlower

do you mean an oyster's life would be crappier without a sense of taste?

7:18 am

solver

Hi lorna, hows your head

7:18 am

Eva

Yes, it's true that one fairly common side effect of sinc in any form is to lose one's sense of taste - I discovered this after complaining that some lemonade I had ordered had no lemon in it. But it is very temporary, taste comes back within about 12-24 hours of not using the zicam and with a cold one can't taste anything anyway. I've never lost my sense of smell.

7:18 am

JaxH

Has anyone any clues for the le7/36 and le6/24? Thanks

7:19 am

SunnFlower

evanadine can you get it in the UK?

7:19 am

Minski

Airborne is a tablet you dissolve in water that contains all sorts of cold fighting vitamins and minerals and stuff (including ecinachea). A school teacher who was sick of getting sick all the time created it. YOu take it before going into large crowds, onto planes, when you start feeling sick, etc. and it really does help.

7:19 am

Miyavi_fan

I'm not sure if that's what she meant, Ferrari...but it's true, what else do oysters have to amuse themselves!? Poor things...

7:20 am

SunnFlower

I guess, but at the bottom of the sea what else is there to do but eat? They must get bored out of their oyster minds...

7:24 am

Miyavi_fan

Okay, see you :)

My pleasure.

8:14 am

macadam

Blaze is that the version where the mixture is white or milk or dark chocolate all in one cake so that when toy cut it ,it looks like multi choc marble?

8:15 am

Blaze

No.... it is a chocolate cake with no eggs or milk....makes it crazy....Really chocolaty---rich and moist.

8:15 am

macadam

Sounds good.

8:16 am

Blaze

It is good and you can mix it in the pan that you are using to bake it in... making clean up a breeze.....

8:17 am

macadam

The best kind of cooking.Cleaning up can spoil the fun.

8:18 am

Jera

That's good lola... we had some incidents int his country with poorly supervised daycares where the children were fighting... bad scene... then there's the nature of the beast of simply being 2... or 3... or 4, LOL!

8:19 am

Sore throats come & go quickly for me, especially this time of year, especially if I'm a bit stuffy & sleep with my mouth open (LOL). Morning fluids take care of it...

8:22 am

Jera

Oh please... I'm eating... no gross cake talk, I beg you!

8:22 am

Blaze

Miyavi spray your roast pan with PAM or something like that... it helps lots for clean up or line with foil....

8:23 am

Miyavi_fan

Cat litter box cake?!

8:23 am

Jera

Although I will say I had some pressure to make the dino cake red velvet... can you imagine?

8:23 am

Miyavi_fan

hahaha...the grease will always find it's way around the foil...it's a conspiracy!

8:24 am

Chessy

Jen

Jera, that reminds me of the armadillo cake from Steel Magnolias! lol

Hi lotti!!!

Anj- mmmmm, thanks babe ;)

8:28 am

Miyavi_fan

If you say so Anj, but I always end up feeling really guilty! Though not guilty enough to go back to school in time for maths...^_^

8:28 am

Jera

Greetings snowyowl, my fine feathered friend!

8:29 am

snowyowl

We have Dora day & night here! Orders are - must be chocolate,must have grass, must have crocodiles, must have turtles & choclate fingers around the sides. I'm good at the grass bit I made football pitches for her father for about 6 years!

8:29 am

Jera

He's kinda getting into the new Diego spinoff... has a beanie buddy leopard that he carries around & calls Baby Jaguar...

8:31 am

Bugzy

Hi all - Another long one I see...
I would take Dora over the Wiggles any day! That's all my 2-year-old wants to watch right now. Can't stop singing "Move Your Arms Like Henry" !!

8:31 am

macadam

Miyavi.Glad you are feeling better.Don`t let the guilt get you now.Sick teachers can get better half wa y through the day too.Not many of them go back to work!!!!!

8:31 am

lottijw

Would you believe M&S and BHS of all the places in the world! Looks like a brown suit with orange accessories or a black with peacock blue pinstripes and accessories! Saw some "fab" shoes in New Look!

8:31 am

Jera

Well, I discovered I am NOT good at writing on cakes... looked positively Halloweenish... hmmm, that's an idea, LOL! Sprite is completely into planning the Halloween party already... I held her until after Gwyd's birthday or there'd be no money (or time) for his big day!

8:32 am

snowyowl

Hi Jera, Good luck with the potty training! Our 3 yr old has been trained for 4 months now & has just come out of nappies at night. Doing really well at the mo - fingers & legs crossed!

8:32 am

Jera

Fruit salad... yummy, yummy... fruit salad... yummy, yummy!

8:32 am

Miyavi_fan

I'll take your word for it, Macadam! ^_^ The worst thing at the mo is not being able to talk. That's a tough one for me...

8:32 am

lola100

Anj, help! How do I send stuff from lime to media player to burn? I can do it one song at a time by asking the song to play first but it's taking forever.... there must be a way to send a block of stuff in one go?!

8:33 am

macadam

I think I`ll just say "no comment"

8:33 am

Bugzy

NO NO Jera !! Please stop!! ;)

8:33 am

ToeSockMonkey

Top of the mornin' to ya!

8:33 am

snowyowl

OMG the Wiggles - favourite of the 2 yr old. He sings Dorothy the Dinosaur plus actions all day long. Where did they get those creepy men from?

8:34 am

Blaze

I'm off for baking and breakfast... and a nap before everyone comes for lunch....

8:35 am

Jera

Anything Aussie is okay in my book... did any Scots go to Australia back in the day? It's really weird, the feeling I get about Australia...

8:35 am

Jera

Bye Blaze!

8:35 am

Miyavi_fan

Guten Morgan, ToeSockMonkey (trying to make up for missing my German class)

8:36 am

sprite

Good afternoon, all... I shouldn't start, really shouldn't, with my day mostly over already and so many words. But you know... the mind is willing...

8:37 am

Bugzy

They are creepy and annoying... yet somehow strangely attractive in a way...
Hey TSM - another long lunch planned today? :)

8:37 am

Jera

At least with Dora, he's learning a second language (kinda sorta). Gwyd can count to 10 in Spanish no problem (20 in English)! The kids get enough Aussie slang from me, LOL!

8:38 am

Jen

My 4 year old is already into Kim Possible on Disney! He absolutely love Rufus, the naked mole rat.

8:39 am

Jera

OMG... you haven't lived til you've heard a preschooler do the Naked Mole Rat Rap...

8:39 am

Bugzy

I have the double whammy -- Yu-Gi-Oh obsession for the 5 y.o. and Wiggles for the 2 y.o. Yikes! I liked the Scooby Doo obsession MUCH better!

8:39 am

Jera

We had our KP phase, now Sprite has moved on to Winx & Tokyo Mew Mew

8:39 am

Miyavi_fan

Count your blessings, soon they will all be sulky teenagers like me!

8:40 am

sprite

LOL!

8:40 am

Jen

You should see mine sing and dance to it... we actually had to buy the Kim Possible CD

8:40 am

Jera

We are having flashes of teen-ness at 9... I'm scared!!

8:41 am

FMitch

aledgedly there are 2 x fe6/30, I have the one that is to do with cars, any clue on the other one?

8:41 am

sprite

Jera, I know what you mean, my 9-year-old is having them already too.

8:41 am

Miyavi_fan

Woah! At only 9? Do you have a death wish? :)

8:42 am

Cmith

FMitch: afraid

8:42 am

Chessy

don't be scared FMitch, past tense of f4/7 ...

8:42 am

Bobsta

Fmitch: scared

8:42 am

baggo

mornign all...

8:43 am

Jera

Fortunately we have fencing to work off some hormones, plus she's writing a book... I think it will end up being a play, though...

8:43 am

Chessy

Hi baggo :)

8:43 am

lottijw

Hi Bobsta :)

8:44 am

Jera

Greetings, newcomers!

8:45 am

FMitch

that was one of those words that you look at a dozen times and just miss that fact that it WILL fit the grid - thanks

8:45 am

Miyavi_fan

If she's anything like me in a strop the best option is to lock her in a room with sound-proof walls and big pillows for several hours.

8:45 am

Bobsta

Hiya lotti ;o)

8:46 am

sprite

Mine is a boy and already moody, bigmouthed, unexplainably unhappy and in his own way half of the time, lol. Poor kid. Poor parents. But we'll manage.

8:46 am

lottijw

How you doing? Keep missing you lately!

8:47 am

Jera

Snowyowl, the main problem with the potty training for us is himself is just too busy to stop & tcob. So I set a timer & that is working pretty well... that & the flushing when he poops.. scores big, LOL!

8:47 am

baggo

ok, i just have to tell someone, cause there is noone here...i just ran into my first love at the coffee shop, i have no make-up on and barely combed my hair...ugh, i guess that will teach me...(it's been 15 years since i saw him)

8:48 am

Jera

Sprite... is he in sports? I highly recommend fencing! Very cool & works off a lot of steam...

8:48 am

begrery

Isnt that always the way it has to go. :( Well, even though you have so moved on, did you get butterflies?

8:48 am

baggo

sprite we started lacrosse...with my same as yours to a tee son who's 10

8:49 am

lottijw

Bet he still fancies you Baggo!! ;) You`re beautiful we know....... The nurses outfit would do it for him!

8:49 am

snowyowl

It's me needs locking up with tantrums in our house. I had 2 really laid back teenagers & husband ditto - and then there was me!!!!! Calm down is a banned phrase in our house.

8:49 am

baggo

bergery you know it...wow how those feelings come back...i did call my hubby and tell him who i saw, all he said was i've been telling you to wear make-up more.

8:49 am

Jera

Lacrosse is cool... I'm putting Gwyd in that next year, since Sprite is teaching him soccer at home

8:49 am

Bobsta

NURSES OUTFIT?????
Woooo hoooo!!!

8:50 am

Bugzy

Jera - with the potty training, the timer worked for us too. Sat him in there for 5 min. after every meal. He finally got it... but it was a long road...

8:50 am

sprite

Good tip, Jera, I'll give that a try. He was into football, but that didn't work out. Is playing a lot for fun now, though. And scouting suits him very well. But another sport might be just what he needs.

8:50 am

baggo

bobsta knew that would perk you up...lol

8:50 am

begrery

i ran into mine not too long ago. it really is amazing how feelings can rush right back. Check out your hubbies response. ha ha ha.

8:51 am

lottijw

It works every time doesn`t it Baggo!!!!

8:51 am

Jera

Snowyowl... my favorite phrase is: I can yell louder than you, LOL! We are all loud except for my husband. he is very non-confrontational. I encourage my kids to yell back, especially if they think I'm wrong (it's happened once or twice)! We are passionate, then it's over & we get on with our lives...

8:51 am

Bobsta

Perk up???

8:51 am

sprite

Baggo, nooooo! Did you kick your loving husband? I think your first love just liked you fine the way you were ;)

8:52 am

Jen

For our son, we put up a poster by the toilet and when he went, he got to put a sticker on it. When he filled it up, he got a small toy, like a matchbox car. Worked like a charm, he was totally trained in 2 1/2 weeks.

8:52 am

Greg37

afternoon bob,busy?

8:52 am

baggo

jera too bad it's not still warm, i let my kids run naked in the back yard with the potty chair out there and made a huge game, even let 'em pee on a tree...and then brought the chair inside and worked, cheerios work too, like to aim at something.

8:53 am

Bobsta

Wotcha Greg, not been too bad. how about you?

8:53 am

snowyowl

Potty training is wearing tho' isn't it? Then they finally get it and are really suprised when you're praising them to high heaven, wondering why you're making all that fuss!

8:53 am

Jera

Stickers didn't work here, & he snuck & ate all the m&m's, LOL. We are making progress with hugs & I'm so proud of my big kid speeches. Braggin to Daddy when he gets home is fun, too!

8:54 am

baggo

yeah sprite, bet he's expecting the uniform and make-up with my hair done too when he gets home. i should do it and then go to work. they'd all freak out there if i should up in more than just blush and eye shadow...might even do lipstick...lol

8:54 am

Jera

I was especially proud yesterday when himself was dry after 4 shots at the doctors!!! I think I'd have peed my pants after that, LOL!

8:55 am

Eva

The cake talk is killing me....trying to lose weight. Wouldn't it be nice if fantasizing eating was as satisfyiing as doing it?

8:55 am

Greg37

was busy,now its babble time!!!

8:55 am

baggo

jera having just got my shots, earlier this week, he should get huge stickers for that...cause i wanted to pee my pants they hurt so bad...
bobsta are ya perkin up on your side of the pond???

8:57 am

snowyowl

Ours is a noisy house too - Its mostly me tho! My 27 yr old daughter has got to the ' poor menopausal mum' stage - so condescending! but as I remind her - she's got it all to come!

8:57 am

Bobsta

Greg: can you tell Wardi that his E-Mail still hasn't come through

8:57 am

sprite

Eva, it would be even more wonderful if fantasizing about slimming was effective as doing it.

8:57 am

sprite

*as effective as*

8:58 am

Bugzy

4 shots - yikes :( I always feel bad for the little ones when they have to get poked so much...

8:58 am

Eva

Oh yes - what a thought!

8:58 am

lottijw

School run time, see you all later :)

8:59 am

Jera

Bye lotti!

8:59 am

baggo

bye lotti..

8:59 am

Bobsta

see ya later lotti ;o)

8:59 am

Jera

The good news is he's all set for school now, no more shots until tetnus for camp.

9:01 am

Jera

Training Sprite was a breeze, I just took her with me whenever I went, which is pretty often. We have a tiny bathroom in this place, & no room for the potty chair... until I had the bright idea to put it in the bathtub, LOL!

9:02 am

Miyavi_fan

Later Lotti

9:02 am

sprite

Glad you give me good references, Jera ;)

9:02 am

Jera

Baggo... we haven't even started the peeing standing up... leaving that to Daddy....

9:02 am

dan_newman

cheers for the word greg :D

9:03 am

Jera

I keep trying to spell apnea...

9:05 am

Jera

I'm trying to remember to wear lipstick when I go out... I never wear makeup. But I do love fancifyl fingernails... often bright green with bronze accents (Girl Scouts)

9:05 am

baggo

jera let him sit backwards on the toilet seat...less mess

9:06 am

sprite

Very fitting D6 here in view of the conversation in the log.

9:07 am

dan_newman

bob wardi recons you should have recieved the email :S

9:11 am

Jera

His seat has a guard thinging that sticks up... no problem there...

9:11 am

Bugzy

LOL Sprite :)

9:12 am

baggo

dont forget about the p4/7 that follows too...lol

9:13 am

snowyowl

My sons best friend was once heard saying 'Richie can pee all the way to the top of the bathroom curtains!
Playing fire engines is not a good way to potty train boys!

9:14 am

ToeSockMonkey

It's cold here this morning! When I got up at 5am it was about 45 degrees! *shivers*

9:14 am

ToeSockMonkey

LOL Snow :)

9:15 am

Eva

I'm missing an 8 (among many other things). I have the 2 mulelike a's, and the right angle and what causes fires in my chimney. Clues for the remaining one?

9:16 am

Bugzy

Where are you TSM?

9:16 am

sprite

Yeah, but then I C8 him, put on my C6/24 and Sc7/40 him until he T6/21 and now I am his A6/21 :)

9:17 am

baggo

lol sprite...it's a great puzzle to be able to do that with... 8-)

9:18 am

sprite

I am having a great time, the words keep coming so fast I can hardly keep up typing them. I will run dry of course, but as long as it is lasting...

9:20 am

baggo

i felt that way when i started when the puzzle first caem up, i was bouncing all over the place finding words...down to the last 25 and they are a bit slower in coming...just found a ton of t's thought i'd already found...so...

9:22 am

ToeSockMonkey

So Bugzy, what are you doing for lunch today? ;)

9:23 am

Jera

Well, I'm off for a dte with Paul Bettany... my friend is coming over to watch The Reckoning with me... later, all!

9:23 am

baggo

bye jera...see ya later..

9:24 am

Bugzy

Actually, TSM, I am shoe shopping. Have to go to a bachelorette party this weekend and I don't have the right shoes to go with the outfit... (That sounds so 'Sex in the City'!)
Speaking of, what are *your* lunch plans? ;)

9:25 am

9:32 am

ToeSockMonkey

Bugzy- Shoe shopping sounds fun to me! And what a great way to break them in! Bachelorette party! Woo!

My lunch plans will be dull today. :( I am going to eat alone and more then likely have Subway or some things along those lines.

9:32 am

sandypops

how many words am I looking for???

9:32 am

ToeSockMonkey

Sprite! LMAS!

9:33 am

agzam2

258

9:33 am

ToeSockMonkey

223 Words

9:33 am

Good luck, baggo!

9:33 am

baggo

258 words

9:33 am

baggo

hey i want tsm puzzle...them i would be done...lol

9:33 am

Miyavi_fan

Woah...changing the conversation a bit, I just found out Ian Huntley has been sentenced

9:34 am

baggo

ty sprite see ya in a bit..

9:34 am

Bugzy

TSM - Where are you that it's so cold this morning?? Wondering if it's coming my way ... It's been warm here but today is a bit chilly too.

9:34 am

ToeSockMonkey

OOPS! Yeah 258....
That 223 number was how many I have left to find ROFL

9:34 am

macadam

Is it for life meaning life?

9:35 am

Miyavi_fan

40 years in jail

9:35 am

baggo

no i think he only got like 40 years...

9:35 am

ToeSockMonkey

Bugzy - I am in Chicago! The great windy city! Home of Al Scarface Capone! *wink*

9:36 am

macadam

Should be longer.

9:36 am

sandypops

Thanks I'll take that as 258 as being right and not 223. Mind you ....bad news for me haha

9:36 am

baggo

yes, don't know every detail but the bit i got over here, should've been much longer...

9:36 am

Miyavi_fan

ten times longer

9:36 am

bejay

40 years before any chance of parole

9:38 am

Miyavi_fan

should be waaaaay, waaaaay longer. Like you said, Macadam, should be a life sentence MEANING life

9:38 am

Bugzy

TSM - The bachelor party is being held this weekend in Chicago... bride and groom live there but are from Detroit (where I am)... just went to visit them 2 weeks ago.... I *LOVE* Chicago!
So the weather is coming my way...Yuk

9:39 am

snowyowl

Our littlies are just home from school & it just makes us realise how lucky we are. A sentence for that crime can never be long enough. We really have to try to reach a place where our children don't have to be wrapped in cotton wool but can still be safe.

9:41 am

ToeSockMonkey

Bugzy - Yeah weather might head that way. Got rain all day yesterday from the south and it was colder out but today is sunny and brisk. Sweater or light coat weather. Check www.weather.com and type in your zip coad and it will givey ou the weather every hour of the day for the next 10 days.

9:41 am

FMitch

the thing that gets me is that(if I heard it right) the judge said that because the 2 girls had not been abducted and there was no conclusive proof of sexual stuff he could only reccommend the 40 years!

9:41 am

snowyowl

Speaking of littlies - its Rainbow Guides for me today so goodbye until tonight. Happy babbling

9:42 am

Miyavi_fan

Really? I just read that even though he would be up for parole in 40 years, the descision would be up to another judge and there's little or no chance of him ever being released.

9:43 am

ToeSockMonkey

Bugzy - You are so close! I was in Detroit about a month ago for business! But the party sounds like a great time! You know your way around this crazy city alright? lol I still get lost now and then! :)

9:43 am

Judi

G'day, Babble mates.

9:44 am

Hi Judi :)

9:44 am

Bugzy - it's supposed to get down to about 35 degrees in SE Michigan tonight. We'll all be shivering come morning!

9:44 am

FMitch

miyavi, haven't listened to the news since lunchtime so might be a bit behind the times

9:45 am

Bugzy

My best friend and I go to CHI every year... girls' weekend... this time we saw Wicked (excellent) and had a spa pampering day. It was lovely!
Hi Judi :)

9:46 am

Miyavi_fan

uh huh. I read it just now on my computer, so hopefully he will never get out

9:46 am

bejay

little chance he will ever be released,
he willb e70 ish by then if he lives that long he has already been attached a couple of times

9:46 am

Bugzy

refinnej - 35? Yikes! Not ready for the cold weather. Been enjoying the long summer....

9:47 am

FMitch

trouble with this log is that you get so caught up in reading and/or participating in the chat that you forget to look for words!

9:47 am

Miyavi_fan

attached?

9:47 am

bejay

i mean attacked not attached ! ooops!

9:48 am

Miyavi_fan

*giggles* okay, makes more sense now *grins* :)

9:48 am

Miyavi_fan

I was just about to ask you: attached to what?!

9:48 am

bejay

i had a giggle anyway!

9:49 am

sprite

At least that type of criminal is the least popular with the inmates... he'll have a rough time.

9:50 am

Miyavi_fan

And if he ever does get out, I still can't imagine him winning any popularity contests :/

9:51 am

kc8501

ok, anyone have a clue for the 2nd i? I have the id 4/5

9:52 am

i think i must have meant he should be attached to a

It's what Ian Huntley is - but without the k.

9:52 am

I am pretty sure I am capable of murder. If anyone would ever do such a thing to my kids, I don't think I can vouch for my law-abiding abilities.

9:54 am

If they do, I'll be your alibi ^_^

9:55 am

Miyavi, it's Madasafish and, bless'em, they actuallt put a warning on their tech site to let members know there were big problems. Ther's was the only sire I could access. Every other, and I mean every other site wouldn't respond :/
I've had to revert to IE6, delete all cookies & temp files, reset all my internet seetings and start from scratch to get a pulse...
Mind you, i've just got Firefox working with LastFM so there's life out there somewhere...

10:14 am

10:53 am

torgone

movieman - it's the sticky goop they use to weatherproof railroad ties and telephone poles..

10:53 am

sproing

cr8 is a foul-smelling liquid that is used as a wood preservative; cr9 is the past tense of cr8

10:55 am

Anj

Torgone, some Edmund Spencer for you:
"For all that pleasing is to living eare,Was there 'co9' in one harmonee, Birdes, voyces, instruments, windes, waters, all agree."

10:55 am

sproing

co9 is the past tense of co7, which is another word for the Queen's hubby

10:55 am

Cmith

just jo: as 8/40 - change the last letter of your as 8/45

10:55 am

torgone

LOL macadam!! Guess that's why I couldn't think well - lack of oxygen to the brain!

10:56 am

macadam

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm so good eh?

Haven't found it yet.

11:00 am

co7- two words: c3 - trick, plus s4, type or unmix

di7 - di plus a 80s film with light cycles and nasty computer
di8 is the plural

Does that make sense???

7:44 pm

Babbler

7:45 pm

Babbler

any clues for the de7 and de9? Kisses all round!!! XXX

7:46 pm

kristin

7:47 pm

Babbler

ah. haven't got the re7 or re9 yet...........

: (

7:47 pm

Anj

7:49 pm

Anj

re is ehat happens with mirrors if you look at them...
re....... glory Or maybe Duarn Duran.. the the thet the re.... without the X obviously but you're in the right direction

*thinks: hmmm street creed problems here...*

7:50 pm

Anj

Oh cr*p :( Fingers are sponsored by Fosters tonight :'(

7:50 pm

kristin

ok re7/48 and 9/84 - you look in the mirror and you see your re------- minus the 'ion' then make it past tense

7:51 pm

Babbler

EXCELLENT clues! got them without even looking at the grid!

now for the de's.........

(street cred intact -- you were just a kid then....)

7:52 pm

Babbler

and Duran Duran were IT

(I share my birthday with Simon Le Bon) (not same year)

7:54 pm

kristin

ok i know i'm missing the 2nd ce5/14 and the last co5/16, but can't figure out the other one missing - arg I hate colds!

7:56 pm

Babbler

which ce5 do you have? the Anglo Saxon freeman?

7:56 pm

kristin

nope the music one - thanks

7:57 pm

Babbler

just found it monkey-typing. def is: An edible fish (Scomberomorus regalis) of western Atlantic waters, having silvery sides and a dark-blue back.

but you could say it the god of love (e4), with a c at teh beginning

7:58 pm

Babbler

oh hang on........... you've got that haven't you?

I'll get my coat.........

7:59 pm

EasternBlue

I'm new at this...I like your clues, but how do you know how many words start with __ __ ??? Is there a master list of clues or something?

8:01 pm

kristin

sorry babbler the first is the 3rd ce5/14, but i've got the anglo clue thanks

8:01 pm

kristin

ok that should say fish not first

8:02 pm

Anj

I will MARRY for Es at the moment. No strings attached, long brown hair, blue eyes... :)

8:02 pm

kristin

easternblue if you are a pro babbler it gives you the word list to work from. suggest you scroll back to the through the log and get the word lists.

8:03 pm

Babbler

how may are there???????? quick, I'll count!!

8:03 pm

torgone

EasterBlue - Two ways; Read the log (hide icons, show all) someone will have posted a list of all words' beginning letters; Pro Babblersâ„¢ get to see a grid of all the letters with th enumber of words associated with each.

8:04 pm

kristin

Even though I proposed to you already, what e's do you need? the breakdown? i've got all of them

8:05 pm

kristin

ea5/12, ea4/4, ea6/21, en6/21, en5/12, eo4/4, ep7/40, er4/4, er5/12, er7/32, er4/4, et4/4, et5/14

8:05 pm

Babbler

oh. *hangs head in defeat* : ( pout pout

... I've only got 5 e's.... :'(

(Hovis music as Babbler exits...)

8:06 pm

EasternBlue

kristen/torgone...thanks!
I'm not a "probabbler" (yet!)...but that almost seems like cheating! ( I was over 900 without understanding your clues/codes at first)...

8:06 pm

kristin

i'm going to run outside a smoke (yeah i know its bad for me) if you need clues on e's, i'll be back in a minute.

8:06 pm

Babbler

grumble grumble.....

always the bridesmaid, never the bride......

gnash gnash....

8:08 pm

Babbler

EasternBlue - I love not knowing and finding out each grid as I go along. I'm not Pro either, partly cos I just spent a small fortune on new glasses cos I broke my old ones, and partly cos I agree, it's just like cheating. I love the mystery! And the chat, of course....

8:08 pm

torgone

EasternBlue - It's not cheating - you still only get the number of words associated with each tile in the grid, and the total number of words with each letter count. You still have to find the words yourself. It's not as much help as the clues and hints posted in the log. There are ways to cheat, however.

8:09 pm

EasternBlue

Babbler - do they post the maximum score too so you know how close (or far) you might be from the highest possible (I know they post the 'high score' the next day)?

8:10 pm

Babbler

ahaaaaa!! I didn't know that. So you don't know any more than the rest of us?

8:11 pm

EasternBlue

Torgone - better to drive you crazy then!

8:11 pm

Babbler

I've never seen the max score posted, only if someone states it in a message. If you scroll down (show all messages) you'll find all sorts of hints and info. I love Brandyjack's lists at the start of the day, but lots of people post info.

8:11 pm

torgone

Not much more. We do get the total word count - 258 today.

8:13 pm

EasternBlue

All - thanks...I like the challenge of just looking to find as much as I can...altho' I'm way off the 258!!

8:15 pm

kristin

easternblue i'd never make it without the two letter word counts - i scroll throughout the day and cut and paste them into a word document - at least then you can figure out what your missing - good luck this game is addictive

8:15 pm

torgone

The Pro-Babbler Stat Grid helps in some ways. For instance, if there are no words starting with, oh say, two of the a's in the grid, you'll see that and know not to waste time looking for words starting with those a's.

8:15 pm

Babbler

I do the same! cut & paste clues into a word doc. Although I havent' today as I was only going to be here for an hour...........

8:16 pm

kristin

only an hour huh babbler - and that was how many hours ago?

8:17 pm

Babbler

oh gawr... I don't know. I was still tiddled on 2 glasses of wine then. Very sober now! Errr. let's see. House just finished on Channel 5......... so, 11pm...... and now it's.... OMG!! Just looked at the clock! 2.20am! *gasps* how....???

8:18 pm

Anj

Kristin, well what can I say...I'm changing the laws and picking a ring for you both :) ..and Lola. Hello! do NOT get the photo opportunity OK.

Babbler, the Hovis music is Going Home, from New World Symphony by Dvorak. I don't just know that, i've played it :)

Kristin, the wedding cigars are Swisher Sweets...they're panatellas dipped in molasses...

8:18 pm

Babbler

cor!!! I certainly picked the right tune then, didn't I??
Woweeee!

8:19 pm

torgone

Congrats Anj, on the most cryptic post I've seen here in some days.

8:19 pm

kristin

2:20 am - where are you at Babbler? Its 8:20 here in the U.S. outside of Nashville, Tennessee - yep a good ole southern girl here...

8:20 pm

Babbler

South London. (or Sarf Lahndan, in the common vernacular) !

8:20 pm

Babbler

oops, London UK

8:21 pm

Anj

Torgone, I try my best lol

8:21 pm

torgone

Babbler - Do you know where Frog Island is?

8:21 pm

EasternBlue

This game is becoming addictive...I only wanted to 'check it out" for a min. My hubby is watching the Yankee game...

8:22 pm

kristin

Now EasternBlue why'd you have to say the Yankees????

8:22 pm

Anj

I'm Bristol UK, currently sponsored by Fosters & Carlsberg which is why I'm tripping rather than tired :/

8:22 pm

Babbler

kristin luv, put me out of my misery, what the ep7, please?

EasternBlue - that's how we all got sucked in. I checked it out for a second one Sunday afternoon.........

8:23 pm

onyx

go yankees!!!!!

8:23 pm

hokie carla

has brandyjack stopped posting the 2nd letter list, or am I just missing it?

8:23 pm

Anj

Babs, it ends in your last do4/5 and has an i in it :)

8:24 pm

Babbler

what's Bristol like, Anj? I want to move out of London, but I don't know where.

8:24 pm

torgone

Brandyjack sometimes doesn't check in until late in the day.

8:24 pm

kristin

Babbler ep7 - A lustrous yellow, green, or black mineral, Ca2(Al, Fe)3(SiO4)3OH, commonly found in metamorphic rock. Yeah right huh, ok ep + i + one of your do4/5s.

8:25 pm

hokie carla

I have become dependent on his list!

8:25 pm

Anj

Babbler, it's like London without the hassle. Not so 24 hour party central but it's still hip & happening.

8:25 pm

kristin

Anj did you get all the e's now?

8:26 pm

Anj

Hokie, what are you stuck on?

8:26 pm

Anj

I'm all done, but due to said gig and lager i'm still hyper...

8:27 pm

Babbler

so, like Brighton?

8:28 pm

Mary

May I have help on the L words. I have (2) Le7/36 and Li4/4. Any help on the other two?

8:28 pm

Babbler

got the ep7 !! wooo hooo!

8:29 pm

Anj

Not quite...mmm, Brighton is more avant garde really. Bristol is an average of London/Brighton sort of thing. The views are different. Ive had a suite in the Grand and you can't beat that for a first-thing-in-the-morning-blu e-sky-blue-sea experience

8:30 pm

Anj

Mary, le6/24, li6/21 and another li4/4

8:30 pm

Babbler

good shopping? good weather? rain a lot? not?

8:31 pm

Babbler

do you get spectacular sunrises?

8:31 pm

Munner

Would someone post the a's please or direct me to the time they were posted?

8:32 pm

Babbler

Munner, cover me, I'm going in !!

(Babbler dives into chat log..........)

8:33 pm

Mary

Thanx Anj

8:34 pm

Anj

Shopping? Put it this way, my mum keeps coming up to stay with me so she can do shoes. It's not bad. There's a Bluewater clone in the Mall. Weather is great. If there's a storm, it's Personal and I mean that. I've flown into bristol about 80 times in the last 3 years and the local weather is unique. Nearly crashed once as well :/ Never regretted moving here :)

8:37 pm

mab

Yo Torgone. Have you finished?

8:38 pm

Anj

OK, who's the favourite for the Superbowl this year? Who got the best deaft pick and who was he???

Answers! answers!

8:39 pm

Babbler

cor Anj, you're really selling Bristol to me. Sounds great. Shoes!! Sunrises!!!!! (my fave) Fab storms! What about driving around? (I'm scared of London roads so don't drive here). And what about links to Manchester? (family)

8:39 pm

mab

I loath football.

8:40 pm

Munner

mab, aren't there 16 a words? I have the same ones on your list?

8:41 pm

Anj

Babs, roads are OK...not great, but i've driven in both places and Bristol wins by a country mile.
South West Air fly to Manchester from Bristol for anything from Â£20 a time. Or there's the M5...

8:41 pm

kristin

really a little too early in the season for a superbowl favorite - i love the indianapolis colts though

8:41 pm

torgone

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
H A HA HA HA AH HA HA HA HA HA !!!
HEE HEE HEE HEE!!!
Finished?!?!?!?!?
WOO OO!!!!
You crack me up! Stop it!! I'm serious!!
Heh Heh Heh...
Yeah...
Um, no. Not finished. Not going to finish. I experience an extreme loss of ambition about this time of day, and if I'm not close....I play in the chat log and get a couple more words.

8:42 pm

Munner

my bad. I just went back to the beginning of the chat log. I couldn't read my writing and thought it was 16. WooHoo! I'm finished with the a's.

8:43 pm

kristin

torgone i'm with you - 200 words and that's it for me today - besides time to close up show here and get home.

8:43 pm

kristin

Anj and Babbler thanks for all your help - chat with you soon - good night.

8:43 pm

Babbler

How does Bristol compare to Manchester? (both being student cities)

8:43 pm

torgone

Sweet dreams kristin.

8:44 pm

Torgone, you little luv. I'll make you a cuppa!! you sit down, dear.

I am a loony tonight. Only those first 4 words.

8:53 pm

Poxy S's. I shall not finish but shall march on 'til I can no longer hold up my head. I'm a bit humiliated that I don't do better with this game. Once the obvious words are exhausted, so am I.

8:54 pm

mab...as a "newbie" to the game...it's all in the fun...I have a feeling I'll be here often! Good thing I can't access this while at work, I'd never get anything done!

8:55 pm

smithchick

Hi, all. I'm missing one d4. Here's what I have:
da4/5x2, de4/5x4, de4/7, do4/5x5 and do4/7
Can someone steer me in the right direction?

8:55 pm

Anj

Torgone...Frog Island...is it a waste management facility??

8:57 pm

torgone

That's the one, Anj. The company is called Shanks.

8:57 pm

Anj

Sorry Babs... I don't know Manchester so well.Only ever stayed in the centre and that was OK. Bristol seems more, well, vibrant though :)

8:57 pm

smithchick

Just saw Babbler's posting about d's. I guess I should refresh more often. Got all my d's!! Finished! Woohoo!
Any thing I can help with before I disappear into the depths of the laundry?

8:59 pm

Sunny San Diego, mab.

9:00 pm

torgone

You're only as old as your feet, Mary..

9:02 pm

mab

Oh. Sounds nice; is it? I don't know California at all well. Have only been to San Francisco, and a very long time ago when the Zodiac murderer was still abroad.

9:02 pm

Mary

Young at heart. Too bad the aches and pains don't say the same.

9:03 pm

Anj

Shanks Waste Services. It's in the borough of Havering which might put it south of Dagenham. Just been looking at the planning report lol. The design looks good theough.

9:04 pm

Anj

Babbler, speakto me! Did the words get you??

9:04 pm

Babbler

Food for thought, Anj, food for thought..... I was thinking of Stoke or up towards Cheshire, but that's toooooo close to home! : )

Thank goodness I don't live anywhere near Dagenham. (although I suppose I do compared to everyone else here!!)

off to get ready for bed.... will probably be back to find "one more word"........... TTFN! xxx

9:05 pm

Babbler

synchronicity !!

9:05 pm

EasternBlue

Bye Babbler..I'm sure I'll be back again...

9:07 pm

mab

Bye Babbler and Eastern Blue (lovely name). Be seeing you again soon.

9:08 pm

Anj

Babs, i've worked in both Machester and Leeds and i'm not sure I could move there :/ Nottingham is OK, but if you're going to go north make it Cumbria or somewhere equally as spectacular :)

9:09 pm

Babbler

hmmm.... good ideas .......... I was also thinking Lake District...........

9:09 pm

mab

What do you do Anj? Waste management, rock and roll, very late nights....

9:10 pm

torgone

We make the machinery that separates the paper from containers, glass from plastic, etc. People throw their recyclables into one bin, which goes into one truck, which goes into one pile. Our stuff separates it into discrete commodities: aluminum, glass, plastic, and paper that can be reprocessed.

9:11 pm

Babbler

In South London, if we don't recycle, we face a fine of Â£1,000 !!

deffo getting ready for bed now...... back later....

9:11 pm

makay

can anyone help with the c's please?

9:11 pm

torgone

Sweet dreams, Babbler.

9:12 pm

mab

Actually I was asking Anj, but that's interesting Torgone. Why then do we work so hard seperating our recyclables?

9:12 pm

Anj

Mab, i'm just rock'n'roll, although I do training & dev when i'm working :)
Torgone, sounds like the sort of thing that everyone takes for granted without actually appreciating what goes into the whole process.

9:17 pm

torgone

Separating your recyclables is something that is going by the wayside, as more communities realize the benefits of "single stream" recycling. If you don't have to separate it, more people will do it, which equals more compliance, which equals more matter diverted from landfills, which is the ultimate goal.

9:18 pm

torgone

So anyway.....
Back to the puzzle..

9:19 pm

EasternBlue

Anj - up until 2 wks ago, I was also in Training & Dev...just moved into proj. mngmt...

9:19 pm

mab

That's very cool. I'm crazy about recycling. U.S. culture is so very much about disposable everything.

9:23 pm

boreetos

hi kids

9:26 pm

Anj

Torg, I spent 30 years of my life looking at a poorly disguised landfill site. Anything that alleviates that gets my vote. Now if only this govt could get its finger out of its ar$* we might get somewhere...

Eastern...i've done proj man as well but i'm not sure I liked it lol :)

9:26 pm

Munner

re 9/84 - Is there a good clue out there somewhere?

9:26 pm

Anj

Hey, Boreetos. Escaped the clutches of the capitalist overlords yet??

9:27 pm

boreetos

yes, and a long day it was.

9:27 pm

EasternBlue

Anj - after 11 years in the classroom, I needed the change + I like the PM team... : ) (altho' I think I'll miss the classroom stuff - but I haven't yet!)

9:27 pm

mab

Your government! Our idiot of a leader doesn't believe in global warming. Don't get me started.

9:28 pm

Anj

Munner, you get them on bikes, cars, clothes and obstructions. Mirrors do it by trade... :)

9:28 pm

EasternBlue

mab - I think we'd be on the same page with that one!

9:28 pm

boreetos

hey be fair mab, He's not our leader, hes a muppet.

9:29 pm

torgone

Munner - mirror

9:30 pm

Munner

Thanks togone, I had thought of that one but just kept trying the past tense.

9:31 pm

Anj

Eastern, I love the whole training thing. I was lucky enough to have overhead & back projection with full media support and PA. I just enjoy coaxing the best out of folk...it's more coaching really but it's a laugh :)

9:31 pm

Munner

And Anj, you answered so fast I didn't see it.

9:31 pm

Anj - Most governments are realizing the economic and ecological difference between throwing everything into a hole to rot, and selling most of that stuff for revenue, and landfilling the rest.

Our muppet is in charge of appointing two judges to the Supreme Court. It is good, thoughh, isn't it, that you never even see Dick Cheney's lips move, not even a tiny bit.

9:34 pm

That is an insult to the muppets...Kermit or Animal for Prez!

Anj

I hope so Torg...incinerators are a last resort.

Er, Kyoto moment there Mab? It's already too late, just look at the weather patterns. Problem is there are economical issues to consider as well as environmental which screws with common sense and that sucks. It will be interesting if Hilary Clinton gets into the White House fromwhat i've heard...

could I have a clue for the co9 please?

9:44 pm

brandyjack

Co7/36 noun with an ending to make it an adverb I think it is

9:45 pm

mab

verb

9:47 pm

mab

Sorry. Calicomo think of the king or queen's partner; ad a suffix to make the 9.

9:47 pm

brandyjack

I stand corrected. Hmmmm. Forgot it already. Oh well. When a Prince marries a Queen, he may not become King, he may instead become a Prince Co*****. They are said to be Co*******.

past tense of your 8; it's that black sticky smelly stuff that builds up in your chimney, or apply to various structures outdoors. Make it into a verb, as if anyone would actually use it that way.

Looking for clues for the re 9 and de 9 Pretty Please...

10:57 pm

I Need Coffee

you had the re/9's on your bike when you were young

10:57 pm

I Need Coffee

and as with the re/7 and de/7, swap out the first letter

10:58 pm

I Need Coffee

(both 9s are singular -- sorry if I misled)

10:59 pm

Blaze

I need coffee...thanks for the clues... now I am thinking about my bike.....when I was young..... I will get it yet....

11:01 pm

mab

Blaze: re9 - a mirror with a suffix. Think of what a mirror does.

11:01 pm

brandyjack

Well, they say a mirror is a good re*******, but seeing your re*****ion in a pond is much more romantic.....

11:02 pm

lshult

maybe cos I didn't have a bike when I was young, I still can't get the re9

11:02 pm

mab

That goes without saying.

11:03 pm

lshult
