12:01 am

EasternBlue

stupid laundry today...didn't finish - only 20 shy...

12:01 am

zubie

Hello again :D

12:01 am

Griffums

Started to congratulate you GW but got caught in the transmog. Anyway - nice going! Have a Twizzler.

12:02 am

GreyWoulf

Thx Griff!

EB - Still a great job!!

12:02 am

EasternBlue

this was is either going to be very short or very scary...Y & Z...yikes!

12:03 am

EasternBlue

Thanks Woulfie...

12:03 am

Griffums

Okay, gw, I have to ask what your icon is. Because what it looks like to me is probably not what it is.

My prediction on the grid: 190 wds

12:04 am

renfield

i love twizzlers

12:04 am

GreyWoulf

It's a wolf peering around some reeds by some water...
It reflects my search for words ;)

12:04 am

renfield

GW - like last weekend - we need to buy a vowel

12:05 am

Griffums

Ren - you can have twizzlers with your seltzer and lime. Makes a nice straw.

GW - I'm sure it's a lovely icon, I'm just blind as a bat.

So far no one has apparently realized what mine is...

12:05 am

72 Temple Owl

good morning all! happy new babbleday!

12:06 am

Griffums

I found the fish on my VERY FIRST woid!

12:06 am

EasternBlue

Griff - isn't it a dog paw on a mouse??

12:06 am

torgone

z6/36

12:06 am

GreyWoulf

Hey Temple Owl!

Griff, it's a 1st person view of your mouse :D

12:06 am

EasternBlue

Hiya T-Owl...

12:06 am

Griffums

yes, but more than that, it's......

12:07 am

Griffums

it's THE PAWS THAT REFRESHES

12:07 am

zubie

What's the total today?

12:07 am

renfield

oh yes - like the straw idea - lol

12:07 am

GreyWoulf

AAAAAAAAARRRRRGGHHH!!!!!
(*hol ds nose and runs from room screaming*)

12:07 am

EasternBlue

zubie - waiting for the stats...

12:08 am

Griffums

****PTANG!***

12:08 am

EasternBlue

zubie - 101

12:09 am

GreyWoulf

Hi c-nan, how are you today?

12:10 am

cybernan

Just fine GW --- and you?

12:11 am

IceBoySF

i9/60

12:11 am

zubie

Ok, Thanks, Blue.

12:12 am

GreyWoulf

very tired -- I was up til 4 this AM before packing in to catch a little sleep before the baby woke up at 9:30

Even I am beginning to wonder how I manage to do it! :D

12:12 am

Griffums

Sorry gw. Definite advantage that I have being a grandma instead of a ma - you gives 'em back and you gets your sleep.

12:13 am

GreyWoulf

Very true, Griff -- But I wouldn't trade it for the world right now :)

12:14 am

Griffums

Now or ever. (Let's be optimistic)

12:15 am

luvmypom

Hi All ... I'm a 4 day old newbie here, but is it just me or does this puzzle suck? A few more vowels would be nice in my newbie opinon.

12:15 am

GreyWoulf

truest statement ever, Griff :)

12:16 am

Griffums

I won't hold you to it in about 13.528 years (rough guess) but after the whitewater rapids they turn into people you can stand again. And then they turn into people you can talk to. That rocks.

12:18 am

GreyWoulf

Griff - I am looking forward to all of it -- I know I will hate the whitewater while living through it, but I put my parents through heck, so it's only fair that I get my share ;D

12:19 am

cybernan

Can't believe it -- 16 minutes in and I have the 9 a 7 and the z6 -- so unusual for me!

12:19 am

Babbler

101 words, that's more manageable.

hey zubie!! sorry I missed you yesterday - I finally slept!
:D

12:19 am

Griffums

If you raise them to love words and be funny, it makes it all easier. One of mine in the middle of a tirade screamed tearfully I'M IN A PHASE!!! (I'm tempted to do that myself, often.)

12:19 am

cybernan

Babbler -- where are you getting your stats?

12:20 am

Blaze

gw the more you do with your kids and the more you are with them they better the teen years will be... there is a great book out called "Hold on to you Kids" it is a great read with lots of good info.... not that parenting can be taught .... but some occaisional input is good.....

12:20 am

GreyWoulf

Welcome back, Babbler! I finished with mins to spare :)

12:20 am

Babbler

top of my page, where the blue thingy is, cybernan? why??

12:20 am

Babbler

bravo GW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!

12:21 am

Blaze

cybernan you may need to refresh

12:21 am

cybernan

Don't see anything on my page!

12:22 am

Babbler

4 letters - 44
5 letters - 30
6 letters - 19
7 letters - 5
8 letters -1
9 letters - 2

12:22 am

cybernan

Hi Blaze -- you were right -- I keep forgetting that!

12:23 am

cybernan

Half way there ! -- now to find the 8's

12:23 am

Blaze

cybernan it's in the forgetting that I remember....LOL

12:23 am

GreyWoulf

Blaze - thanks for the info... I'll look into it
And you are right about parenting not being taught - the best you can do is develop a few good guidelines that you have to adjust to fit the individual personality of the child :)

12:24 am

Blaze

and most of all love their mother and show love and peace in all you relationships....:D

12:28 am

GreyWoulf

Blaze - that I do my best to do :) I am not always the most demonstrative in my affections, but I do try

12:29 am

Blaze

You are doing very well then.... Now I must lodge a complaint.... I am trying to eat natchos and dip and someone has tromped on the bag and there is nothing but bitty bits... hmmmm

12:30 am

Hugabugs

Hi Everyone!

12:30 am

Griffums

Blaze I did not bring back nachos, but I do have some killer cheddar-beer potato chips...

12:30 am

GreyWoulf

That's when I get the sppon and mix the bits into the dip ;)

12:30 am

Blaze

ohhhh veerry good idea.....

12:31 am

Griffums

Hi hugs! You have been gone, like FOREVER?!?!?!?

12:31 am

Babbler

hi hugs!! haven't seen you for a while ??

12:31 am

renfield

and twizzlers

12:32 am

EasternBlue

hi hugs...

12:32 am

Blaze

What I never heard of Cheddar beer chips before.
HELLO HUGS......

12:32 am

GreyWoulf

Hi Hugs!

12:33 am

Hugabugs

Yeah, since I started working again, it's really bit into my online time

12:33 am

torgone

hugs!! (((Hugs)))

12:33 am

Blaze

big congrats on the job...though we miss you...

12:33 am

Griffums

I think they're a new flavor that Kettle Chips just came out with - they had some contest or something. I understand that a smoked salmon cream cheese flavor was suggested - loooooooverly. But they ended up with cheddar beer and a Thai chile potato chip that I haven't tried yet.

12:34 am

Hugabugs

Hiya Tor and Blaze! {{{{hugs}}}} thanks Blaze

12:37 am

cybernan

Hi Hugabugs

12:37 am

cybernan

Like the new icon Griff

12:38 am

GreyWoulf

Back in a bit, folks -- gotta take care of kitties and wifey

12:38 am

cybernan

brandyjack's stats are up!

12:39 am

Griffums

Tank you nan. It made GW scream and run from room tho. (Not the icon, the bad joke that went with it)

12:39 am

Griffums

All hail the Brandyjack!

12:40 am

pinecone05

Hail BJack....has anyone looked at GiftBox yet?

12:40 am

Griffums

Torgone - your white chocolate drops are on the counter along with the beer (hope you like Alaskan Amber) and a Twizzler to use for a straw.

12:41 am

LeslieAnn

introducing, Pro Leslie!

12:41 am

torgone

Griffums - marry me . .

12:41 am

Griffums

Oooooooooo! Love the icon Leslie!

12:42 am

cybernan

cute icon, Leslie -- welcome to the pros!

12:42 am

Griffums

Oh heck torgone, you can have me for so much less trouble than that. My twizzlers are your twizzlers.

12:42 am

renfield

Babbler

12:42 am

LeslieAnn

12:43 am

EasternBlue

welcome to the pros leslieann

12:44 am

torgone

I've gotten in trouble for saying that . .What I meant to say was: Come with me and lodge with my fleas in the hills. I mean, flee to my lodge in the hills . . .

12:45 am

Griffums

Easier to just hit 'em over the head and drag 'em back to the cave.

12:46 am

renfield

"monkey business" - gouche to thelma todd on the porch at the party

12:47 am

renfield

i mean groucho - i really do need a new light

12:48 am

Griffums

It's okay ren. *hands ren another seltzer and lime with Twizzler* *also a tequila shot* (house motto: be prepared)

12:49 am

renfield

12:49 am

Griffums

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! What an idea!
*off to try that for real*
Tequila on a stick!

12:52 am

torgone

renfield - Marry me.
jk - A Marx Bros. fan I see.

12:52 am

Griffums

Oh ren - that totally works. Mmmmmmmm. Big girl candy.

12:53 am

renfield

oh lydia oh lydia

12:55 am

renfield

i wonder what the choclate twizzlers would be like w/ 151 rum?

12:56 am

Babbler

another marriage proposal !! lol!!

ok boys and babes, I'm off to beddy-byes with a copy of today's grid. See y'all later! Be good!

ps: George Clooney, Keanu, Paul, Johnny Depp and all my other swooneroonies - please do NOT change your icons!! (I hope you all read the chat log!)

xxx

12:56 am

Griffums

I have to think about that later otherwise I will get sick!

12:56 am

torgone

renfield - I like the way you think.

12:57 am

Griffums

Bye babs!

12:57 am

Griffums

Yesterday my tat was in the grid, today my car is in the grid

12:57 am

torgone

Sweet dreams, Bab-ylon!

12:58 am

renfield

12:58 am

EasternBlue

Night Babs...see ya later!

1:03 am

torgone

You drive a co4/5, griffums?

1:03 am

nava

carlos, are you there? chief big...

1:03 am

torgone

..Or a te6/21?

1:04 am

Griffums

The te 6/21

1:06 am

Griffums

(but thanks for the co 4/5 'cuz I didn't have it yet)

1:09 am

torgone

Used to have a co4/5 wagon. Put 3 engines in it before I got tired and scrapped it.

1:10 am

EasternBlue

well kids - I'm headin' off to bed...morning breakfast meeting with my theatre friends...and I have about 1/2 the puzzle completed...

Sweet dreams (or have a nice day) depending upon the side of the world you're on!!

1:10 am

Griffums

I always thought they were.... I dunno.... sort of a cheery, optimistic car

1:10 am

Griffums

Bye-bye EB

1:11 am

torgone

So long, EB.

1:12 am

renfield

sleep well eb - i'm off to dreamland as well - maybe tomorrow night show tunes?

1:12 am

Griffums

Bye-bye ren...

1:14 am

EasternBlue

I'll end with one song - an oldie but goodie from The Music Man...

Goodnight my someone, goodnight my love. Sleep tight my someone, sleep tight my love...I wish I may and I wish I might, now goodnight my someone goodnight....
*fade to black*

1:15 am

Carlos

yes, the chief is here!!!!

1:15 am

GreyWoulf

G'nite EB!

1:15 am

Carlos

27 words

1:16 am

GreyWoulf

And I'm back for hopefully another half hour of babbling, tho it will probably be longer than that :D
leslieann, Congrats on going pro!

1:17 am

GreyWoulf

BTW, Griff -- the greatest salute one can give a pun is to run from the room whilst holding ones nose, hence my earlier reaction :)

1:18 am

sprite

Morning, dear all!

1:18 am

nava

do you have the ze word?

1:18 am

GreyWoulf

Hi sprite!!

1:19 am

Griffums

I know. :))) I'm glad SOMEONE reacted! I thought it was brilliant. But then I often think I am brilliant when I am infused with tequila.

1:19 am

Chessy

Morning Sprite, morning all :)

1:19 am

Griffums

Good morning sprite! This will take you 18 minutes.

1:20 am

Blaze

I was taken away and now I am back....

1:20 am

Griffums

As long as you were not taken aback....

1:21 am

Carlos

no, let me know if you need a hint on any hi/ words

1:21 am

sprite

Ah, a small one!
Dr_God's message pushes down all your messages below the boundary of my computerscreen... I have to scroll down to see all the time.

1:21 am

Blaze

No... just some jabbering in the family

1:21 am

Hugabugs

Hi Sprite

1:22 am

sprite

Hugs! Darling, are you alright? Really missed you!

1:24 am

Hugabugs

:o) I'm just fine Sprite. Just back to the old grindstone and it's taken a big hunk out of my online time and when I am here.

1:25 am

sprite

Good to hear you are alright! And nice to see you :)

1:26 am

GreyWoulf

since no one seems to have mentioned it -- t8/45

1:26 am

sprite

Strange grid... the biggies jump out of it, right in my face, and the small ones hide from view.

1:27 am

Griffums

hmmmmmmmm gw....i shall seek it

1:29 am

Griffums

ooooooooOOOOOOOOooooooooo it's what we were talking about oilier!

1:29 am

zubie

sprite - may I be your face for a while? The biggies are hiding from MY face! ;D

1:30 am

sprite

We could switch faces for a while, zubie, so I can find the smaller ones. I am so stuck with them, I am already trying the most idiot combinations :(

1:31 am

zubie

*Hands face over to you* Would you believe that I've found only 61 words? :/

1:32 am

Blaze

zubie more than me... I sitll have 61 to go... I need to close the door and pay attention....

1:32 am

sprite

Then you are almost 40 ahead of me. Oh, I want that invitation thing gone.

1:33 am

zubie

And my ankle's aching and so's my back! Sprained the ankle on Friday. :( Hi Blaze!

1:33 am

Blaze

sprite on your right side is a page bar.. just adjust it that is what I did....

1:33 am

GreyWoulf

Yeah - I would have preferred it over in the right column -- It doesn't belong in the main play area

1:34 am

Blaze

zubie you poor thing.... go directly to a chiropractor.... and rest with ice... (in the glass)

1:35 am

Griffums

what do you mean blaze?

1:35 am

sprite

Page bar? I am having a very blonde day today. :(
What page bar do you mean?

1:35 am

zubie

I wish I could, Blaze. As it was, I took the day off yesterday. Had to get back to work today though. :/ [That pink column is bugging me]

1:36 am

GreyWoulf

Glad to know I 'm not the only one in the dark re:page bar. folks :)

1:36 am

Blaze

Your window or page is outlined there are arrow heads at top and bottom to scroll the page....sideways or up and down.....Oh I wish I could show you....LOL

1:37 am

Blaze

If you use your mouse to scroll you will see it go up and down... on the right side

1:38 am

Griffums

Yes....... the complaint is that you have to keep scrolling it in order to see the chat...... (or do I still not understand)

1:38 am

sprite

I do have the scroll bar, but if I put that so that I don't see the add, I see the chatlog but NOT the grid. And whenever I enter a word, I am back to where I started. Ah well, I'll scroll up and down. Just want to say I agree with Woulf, the add should be somewhere else on the page.

1:38 am

GreyWoulf

But how does that move the message box from where it is in relation to the grid and chat log?

1:38 am

Blaze

if you use the bar on the side it will stay where you want it .....

1:38 am

sherb

good morning all from bright and frosty London :)

1:39 am

sprite

Hi there sherb! Nice weather :)

1:39 am

Griffums

Blaze....I think maybe you have a GREAT BIG MONITOR and I.....don't.. :D

1:39 am

Blaze

OOppss darn chat log... it does not move the box BUT adjusts your screen to see the chat log.....

1:40 am

zubie

Lol Griffums! :D

1:40 am

GreyWoulf

Hi sherb - from the cold, frosty, and still dark US

1:40 am

Griffums

....not unless your screen is big enough to accommodate it. Mine is only tall enough to see the grid and the pink. Nothing else. Time to buy a big monitor!

1:40 am

Blaze

griff only a 17" sdcreen but I shrink my babble to about five inches to illiminate the clutter on the right.... Oops advertising

1:41 am

Griffums

"Only" a 17 incher.... I have that at work. I'm on a 15 at home. I feel so inadequate.
Time for another tequila twizzler.

1:42 am

Blaze

oh griffs I am so sorry .....could I have a twizzler to help you console your self

1:42 am

GreyWoulf

Have to admit, that's why I always babble with at least two open windows -- one to hunt, the other to track the chat log

1:42 am

sprite

I can shrink as much as I like, but that won't do anything for the relation between chatlog and grid. I am through adjusting. I want the thing gone, LOL.

1:42 am

cybernan

12 to go, but they will have to wait until tomorrow morning -- G'nite everyone.

1:43 am

Blaze

Oh I did not know you could do that.... off she goes to open yet another window....

1:43 am

Chessy

same here GreyWoulf ...

1:43 am

Griffums

Sure, here you go.
Actually I just turned off all my toolbars and I've made almost enough space to see the chat. But I can't see how I am or where I'm going or where I've been or how to get out of this browser...

1:43 am

sherb

bigger monitor doesn't help - I just sent message to Dr_God

1:43 am

GreyWoulf

G'Nite c-nan!

1:43 am

sprite

Now that's a nice idea, Woulf. Two open babble windows? And in one you can hide the log... hm....

1:44 am

Griffums

*griffums turns on toolbars, opens new window*
and
*griffums also boots up laptop*

1:45 am

GreyWoulf

actually, whatever you do in one window manifests in both when they refresh

1:45 am

Blaze

I don't think the the second window will let me in...

1:46 am

Griffums

I didn't even realize you could be logged in twice.

1:46 am

Blaze

I did it... wow... double babble trouble....

1:46 am

sprite

Oh my, sherb, that is brilliant! I love you for not complaining but doing something towards solving the problem!
*makes mental note that this is a much more effective way of living*

1:47 am

Griffums

Hmmm - that helps! Nice ingenuity GW.

1:47 am

sherb

Griff - this has probably been said already, but your new icon is very.....different...! :)

1:48 am

Griffums

I think I'm going to go back to the old one soon tho

1:48 am

GreyWoulf

(*bows graciously*)

1:48 am

GreyWoulf

BTW, c7/32

1:48 am

Blaze

griff I just got your Icon....LOL....
Any clues for the z word please....

1:48 am

Griffums

oh cool - hiding the chat in the one window and then having only the chat in the other one. Twizzlers for everyone!

1:48 am

sherb

thanks sprite - I reckon feedback is always good to have, even if it's 'bad', lol

1:48 am

LeslieAnn

there's a reason it's at the *end*, blaze

1:49 am

sprite

Okay, enough complaining from me. I just LOVE the Ze word! And I like the double babble trouble. Thanks, Woulf :)

1:49 am

LeslieAnn

oh wait, i'm an idiot i thought it meant something else. it means the uppermost point (or a brand of electronics)

1:50 am

Blaze

leslieannn thank you......

1:51 am

sherb

LeslieAnn - congrats on going Pro :) what's a 'Type A' personality, btw?

1:53 am

LeslieAnn

oh it just means generally hyper and/or high-strung (as opposed to type b, laid-back)

1:55 am

sherb

ah, well I'm definitely a Type B then, practically horizontal :)

yay! 20 minutes of fiddling around, and I finally entered a word - only 100 to go...

1:55 am

sprite

Does it lead to A-results all the time? ;)
Well, I found a hiding place of smallies and am finally on a roll. Let's see if I can get halfway now.

1:55 am

LeslieAnn

oh funny, sherb, babble cured my sudoku habit as well.

1:59 am

sprite

I better have it off my chest: I want to make tricot!

2:00 am

Griffums

oooh. quake, enough to make me leave desk, back in a mo

2:01 am

sprite

I have Griff's message about 10 times... Is it just me?

2:01 am

GreyWoulf

refresh, sprite

2:02 am

Blaze

I only have it once... try a refresh

2:02 am

sherb

I only have it once, but it's worrying enough...quake?

2:02 am

sprite

Hm, let me correct that: I have it 10 times in my right window, and only once in the left. It is definitely just me.

2:02 am

Blaze

Oh I hope it is not an earthquake griff is talking about.....

2:03 am

sprite

Quake? Ai... not just a mental one then.

2:03 am

zubie

10 messages, sprite? Wow! :o

2:05 am

Griffums

I'm back - all's well. Just the Mother Wolf standing up and shaking us fleas around a little before she settles back to sleep.

2:06 am

Chessy

sounds scary Griffums ...

2:06 am

GreyWoulf

Is that local lore, Griff?

2:06 am

Blaze

griff you had us all on bated breath.... we are all glad all is well.....

2:06 am

sherb

Griff - you're so cool :)

2:07 am

Griffums

No, gw, I just made it up. I am drinking tequila. For me the scary part is wondering whether it's going to quit, or.... not. This one was gentle but just not really stopping, which always makes me think something's about to let loose.

2:07 am

Blaze

griff under the table with you.......

2:08 am

GreyWoulf

It's a great image -- I think its time to create a new myth ;)

2:08 am

sprite

Glad you're okay, Griffs. My computer quaked in sympathy with yours, I think :)
Is it settling now?

2:08 am

LeslieAnn

griff, being in IL I never felt an earthquake before earlier this year... only a 4.5... but it woke me up and i thought it was so odd that i couldn't step off of something onto stable land

2:09 am

Griffums

Oh yeah it's all settled (I wouldn't be back talking to you if it wasn't). Feel free to spread my myth far and wide but it is pretty wanky compared to the real ones here. You could just get lost in all of the native stories.

2:10 am

GreyWoulf

If you know of any collections that are available, please email it to me, Griff -- I am big into mythology of all cultures :D

2:11 am

sprite

I had to refresh (and force refresh) for about 4 times, but finally I can see your new icon. LOL!

2:11 am

Griffums

For about eight years I lived in a house right on the Chugach Fault. (we didn't know that when we bought it) One night there was a *hard* HARD single shake. I was on the computer and thought DANG that felt like it was right under us! I went to the web to check it out for position. Then on a whim I found that site where you can put in your address and get a GPS reading. I howled (sorry gw) when I saw that the epicenter was *one second* degree off our position. it WAS right under me! Ha!

2:11 am

Blaze

Must be off not finished but going to sleep now... see you in the morrow.

2:12 am

Griffums

Oh yeah gw - let me think about that and I'll point you to some stuff.

2:12 am

zubie

Do you know what I completely dislike? Is to find a word at which I've been staring for AGES without having seen it! Grrrr....

2:12 am

GreyWoulf

Good night, Blaze! Catch you tomorrow, rest well

2:12 am

sprite

Sweet dreams, Blaze!

2:13 am

Griffums

Bye blaze!

2:13 am

sherb

wow Griff! we don't get anything like that here in the UK, just very occasional gentle shudders in some parts of the country

2:13 am

Griffums

....oh, *my* new icon Sprite? GW, do I get to tell the joke again????

2:13 am

zubie

'Night, Blaze!

2:13 am

sherb

goodnight Blaze :)

2:14 am

GreyWoulf

Of course, Griff! I'll close my eyes, thanks for the warning!
;D

2:14 am

sprite

Yes, YOUR new icon, Griffs! And if there is a joke, pleaeaease do tell!

2:14 am

Griffums

Sprite.... my icon is

THE PAWS THAT REFRESHES

2:15 am

sprite

ROFLOL!
Would you believe my sleepy eyes saw a goose with a curly feather on top?

2:15 am

Griffums

(and now you're going to say you have no idea what that advertising reference is and that's why half the world didn't get the joke when I told it the first time)

2:16 am

Griffums

Yaaaaaaaay, I'm so glad you got it.

Yoo hoo GW you can come back in now

2:16 am

GreyWoulf

Iknow, I was peeking the whole time :)

2:16 am

Griffums

Hmmmmm, so whenever we tell you to avert your gaze you really don't. I'll remember that!

2:17 am

sprite

I knew. That's one thing I like about you, Woulf ;)

2:17 am

GreyWoulf

Most times I do... just not when I already know what's going to happen ;D

2:18 am

Griffums

And speaking of misinterpreted icons, I thought GW's new one was a horse draped in a blanket and giving birth... and I was pretty sure that wasn't right.

2:19 am

GreyWoulf

ROFL, Griff!!

2:19 am

Griffums

You know the first two tequilas were pretty nice but then they invited all their little friends...

2:19 am

sprite

I am still not sure about Woulf's one. Is it a man in agony, crying with his face buried in his hands? If not, I am at a loss.

2:20 am

LeslieAnn

well, griff, i can totally see the paw now, but at first i thought it was some kind of monster with a tongue depresser in his mouth ::shrug:: it's late

2:20 am

GreyWoulf

It's a wolf peering through reeds at the water's edge

2:21 am

Griffums

hee hee leslie!

2:21 am

sprite

*wonders if she should get back to bed and sleep some more... or invite some of Griff's little tequila friends... or try a lobotomy for starters*

2:21 am

sherb

I won't tell you what I thought Griff's icon was, but paws didn't come into it! and I'd also appreciate an explanation of your icon GW, as I've been peering at it with curiosity :)

2:22 am

Griffums

Tequla works, any time of day (put it in scrambled eggs - yummo)

2:22 am

Griffums

Sherb! I'm shocked! (not really, because I know what you're thinking so I couldn't be that shocked)

2:22 am

GreyWoulf

It is a bit tricky to make out at this scale, I'll go change...

2:23 am

sprite

Am I too boring with my everlasting icon? All you guys are so creative :)

2:23 am

GreyWoulf

How's this?
*refresh*

2:24 am

Griffums

No, I loooooooove your everlasting icon. And in a day or two I'm going to go back to my dawgity self. Maybe change the tie.

2:24 am

sherb

GW - I just refreshed and I see the wolf and water's edge now...was looking at your old icon (the one with the horse blanket, lol)

2:24 am

Griffums

No question there gw!

2:24 am

sprite

Ow Woulf, that is NICE!

2:24 am

sherb

beautiful!

2:25 am

Griffums

I love the fact that the icon changes all the way through, so everyone who reads back will wonder what idiots we were being, unable to figure out GW's icon!

2:25 am

sprite

Powerful image of a powerful animal. I rest my case ;)

2:25 am

GreyWoulf

sprite - don't change unless you really want to
I like your icon -- it always gives me a warm feeling when I see it

2:26 am

GreyWoulf

LOL, Griff

2:26 am

sprite

:D
Then I'll leave mine as it is... don't really want to change it, it reflects my personality so beautifully.. ;)

2:28 am

sprite

LOL Griffs! Oh yes, I can imagine...
"A horse? A man? They must have been stone drunk, right? And wasn't it early morning for sprite? Tsssssssssk!"

2:30 am

LeslieAnn

ok guys, my last word is a doozy: anyone got the in 9/66??

2:30 am

sherb

yes, you should keep your icon sprite...it's a classic...I like the way some stay the same and some change...

2:30 am

Griffums

Leslie - it's when the guy runs in front of the other guy to steal the football pass

2:31 am

GreyWoulf

there are 2, leslieann

both share the same in5 start

2:31 am

LeslieAnn

good clue, i am done! any clues before i go to sleep?

2:31 am

Griffums

No, there's only one 66 pt

2:32 am

sprite

Yeah, got that one. Does 'doozy' mean you just found it or you want a clue for it? (having a blonde day for sure, I SHOULD get back to bed)

2:32 am

GreyWoulf

sorry, sleep dep made me forget about the score

2:32 am

Griffums

Congrats leslie!

2:32 am

sprite

Great, leslie!

2:32 am

GreyWoulf

yes, please - the d is driving me crazy

2:33 am

LeslieAnn

i meant it was a big freaking word that i couldn't find. :)

2:33 am

Griffums

Hey, I just found the duck in today's puzzle too.

2:33 am

sprite

Think god, Woulf.

2:33 am

Griffums

GW - pray to the big one and he'll help you with it

2:34 am

Griffums

(.....or he'll say "What the heck is that icon?")

2:34 am

zubie

81 - *diving back in*

2:34 am

sprite

Some gods don't approve of icons, I am told...

2:35 am

GreyWoulf

(*snort*)
Griff, don't make me shoot water out my nose --- it makes my keyboard act funny :D

2:36 am

LeslieAnn

all right, sleepy time for me. good night.

2:36 am

GreyWoulf

I've only got 19 to go, I think it's time to hit the second letter list finally :)

2:36 am

Griffums

bye-bye Leslie!

2:37 am

GreyWoulf

good night, leslie -sweet dreams

2:37 am

sherb

goodnight LeslieAnn :)

2:37 am

sprite

My stats panel says: "You have 7 word(s) left to find and they are all Ts and Cs and yes, they are looking you right in the face, stupid!"

2:38 am

lshult

just over 1/2 way through list, but still not ever found a 7 letter word.

2:39 am

sherb

hi lshult - you went Pro, well done! West Ham...oh dear...

2:39 am

sprite

Ah Ishult... a Garfield icon! Nice :D
Good luck hunting the 7s, there are some nice ones.

2:39 am

GreyWoulf

OMG! I don't believe I didn't see the Y under the D until just this second!!!
I should really get some sleep...

2:39 am

GreyWoulf

But only 17 to go...

Can't resist lure of finishing...

2:40 am

sprite

Which means you finally found your missing link to religion, I trust, Woulf :)

2:40 am

Griffums

(my dog is dreaming on the bed behind me, making little tiny baby-puppy barks....veryyyy cute)

2:41 am

GreyWoulf

My link has never been missing, just the name I choose to put to it ;)

2:42 am

Hugabugs

I'm going to do just that GW... just finished and am heading to bed now

2:42 am

Griffums

bye hugs - so glad to see you again

2:42 am

sprite

And that's all to the best, Woulf... as soon as a name is put to it, it is wrongly named ;)
Btw, I never felt you missed any link, quite the contrary, LOL.

2:42 am

GreyWoulf

Have a pleasant rest, Hugabugs

2:43 am

sprite

Sleep well, Hugs. So glad you were here again. Have a lovely night and a wonderful day. :)

2:43 am

sherb

hey Hugs! long time no see...goodnight for now...hope to see you again soon :)

2:43 am

lshult

sherb- west ham v spurs today and we have it live on the tele. (first time this year I'm able to see them)

2:43 am

GreyWoulf

Thanks for the vote of confidence, sprite ;)

2:44 am

Hugabugs

thanks everyone! You all have great days and/or nights, whichever the case may be.

2:45 am

Griffums

I'm done 101 words 4.96 1345

2:46 am

sherb

lshult - I'm a Boro supporter myself, and you're doing better than us so far this season...hope this afternoon's match is good :)

2:46 am

GreyWoulf

Yay Griff!

2:47 am

sprite

Well done Griffs, and congrats. I follow your example. Done for today, time to pay attention to my adorable daughter (who enjoys reading and hopes mom keeps busy with other things so she can go on forever)

2:47 am

Griffums

I'll finish this last drink while waiting for GW to finish.

2:48 am

GreyWoulf

Go enjoy, sprite, as I will mine later

2:48 am

sherb

*smiles at the spectacle of Audrey Hepburn saying she supports Middlesbrough*

well done Griff and sprite:) I'm taking it at a more leisurely pace today... (that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it!)

2:48 am

GreyWoulf

Thanks Griff, no pressure there :D

2:48 am

Griffums

You betcha sherb! I was just lubricated!

2:49 am

Griffums

No pressure at all GW, I'm perfectly willing to make another drink to fit the allotted time.

2:50 am

sherb

better get the bottle Griff! lol...don't mean it really, GW ;)

2:50 am

GreyWoulf

'Sokay, sherb, it's how I am beginning to feel - down to 15 but foggy...

2:51 am

GreyWoulf

Will be asking for clues in just a few...

2:51 am

sprite

It just adds to the challenge, Woulf, to play those last hard words when you can't keep your eyes open anymore :)

2:51 am

Griffums

okeydokey artichokey

2:52 am

lshult

sherb- hows a boro supporter come to be on london?

2:52 am

GreyWoulf

lol, sprite - I know, it's just that 5 days in a row mat be too much of a good thing :)

2:54 am

sprite

Sure is, Woulf :)
Be good to yourself... some sleep is really working miracles for everyday life and infinitely sweet but demanding daughters.

2:54 am

sherb

lshult - forgot I'd deleted that bit from the profile - originally from Middlesbrough, been in London 20 plus years, really a Londoner in most ways, but some habits die hard...

2:54 am

GreyWoulf

Well I'm gonna give it ten more mins...

2:58 am

lshult

any clue going for the 8 & 9's?

3:01 am

Griffums

Ishult - the 8 is usually thought of as the first year of adolescence

3:03 am

Griffums

The 9's both start with the 5/10 preceding. One is, as I told Leslie, when the guy runs in front of the other guy to steal the football pass. The other involves the thing in your pocket which may have a particular ring tone.

3:05 am

sprite

Ishult, for the 8, just start counting and you'll get there.

3:06 am

GreyWoulf

OK, I fibbed -- I'm going to try to finish - down to 10

can't see the hi6/24

3:06 am

Griffums

GW - it rhymes with the other word for violet

3:06 am

GreyWoulf

or the er7

3:07 am

Griffums

It's that er stupidhead word that sounds like the thing that isn't a hippo but a ....

3:09 am

Griffums

(when I'm this drunk I cast wide pronouncements on the worthiness of words, sorry - You! CWMS! You're fired!)

3:09 am

lshult

got the 8 & 9's
thanks all for the help

3:12 am

GreyWoulf

Brain not working with that one, Griff

how about the re5/12

3:13 am

Griffums

re 5/12 is the singular of the word that follows

er 7 is the word about the nasal discharge - we had it last week...

3:14 am

GreyWoulf

I don't have the plural either!

3:14 am

Griffums

It's the start of the house where the priest or pastor lives...

3:15 am

Griffums

Or if you drop the di- from the front of the telephone book, that will get you started too

3:16 am

GreyWoulf

I could have sworn I put those in earlier!!

3:16 am

Griffums

Maybe you did - I had a difficult time with that yesterday - typing fast and then later found they weren't in, think they were getting caught in the refresh

3:17 am

GreyWoulf

3 ti's to go!

3:17 am

sprite

You probably did, happens to me all the time. How are you doing?

3:17 am

Griffums

Woo hoo and they're all easy!

3:18 am

sprite

Some are small

3:18 am

GreyWoulf

and/or tr's or to's -- I'm getting really foggy now --

3:18 am

Griffums

well in that case we'll just see! ;D

3:19 am

sherb

70 left to find, and I'm off to get dressed and do Sunday...

good luck with finishing GW, and bye all :)

3:19 am

Griffums

Bye-bye sherb!

3:19 am

sprite

Bye sherb, have a great day.

3:20 am

I was about to say 'bye mica' but I think I'll desist.

For a while!

3:32 am

micamonkey

3:33 am

zubie

Hehe mica. :D I didn't get to finish yesterday. I began barely two hours before the grid expired. :s Reached 159. :/

3:33 am

Jera

I'm still here, micamonkey... for a while...

3:34 am

Jera

I figure a couple of hours in the middle of the night is my best bet to finish (unlike yesterda)

3:36 am

micamonkey

zubie, i sat in front of the computer for 7 hours to finish that puzzle
and 2 hours before that to finish the previous days puzzle
i went to bed with a headache and stiff neck lol
anyways u guys feel free to go if u need to
my mom's bugging me to go take a nap

3:39 am

Jera

Where are you micamonkey? It's 4:30 am-ish here in the states

3:41 am

zubie

3:43 am

micamonkey

3:44 am

micamonkey

zubie, i cant recall hmmm
its not as big as yesterdays :)

3:45 am

pinecone05

whew. I just finished. My last word was the te 7/28...I had a feeling what the word was, but I kept trying to build it by starting with the wrong t..grrrr

3:46 am

zubie

Ok. :D

Hey, I think I'm going to have to log out now. Ankle's aching. See you for the next grid, ok? Bye Jera, mica, pinecone.

3:46 am

3:47 am

micamonkey

bye all those who are going :)

3:47 am

lshult

the te7/28 is the on 7 word that I found.
any clues for the others?
unusual that the 8 & 9's arn't plural

3:48 am

Chris P

Any clues for the ce5/15 & ce6/21?

3:48 am

pinecone05

ce 5 and 6 is a musical instrument

3:50 am

pinecone05

lshult...co 7 is a small, close group of people

3:50 am

Chris P

Thanks pinecone - I was convinced I couldn't do those words!

3:51 am

pinecone05

te 7 / 32 is plural of te 6 before it

3:52 am

pinecone05

anyone want another clue before I go?

3:54 am

lshult

how about aclue for the te6

3:56 am

pinecone05

the first te 6 is a bird

3:57 am

pinecone05

the second te 6 is a group of three (like a triplet in poems)

3:57 am

Jera

Whoa... just saw the 9's!! Any clues or have the experienced ones left??

3:58 am

pinecone05

the only difference between the two te 6s is the last letter!

3:59 am

pinecone05

the 9s build off of the in 5/10
first one is in 5/10 + the things your body is made of

4:01 am

pinecone05

the second IN 9 is related to a lot of cheering and booing at an American football game when this happens to the ball

4:01 am

Jera

ty, pinecone!

4:02 am

pinecone05

okay, I'm off to bed. Have fun babbling Jera and lshult

4:05 am

lshult

Good morning to you too!

*yawns* 11:30 is really too early to be up on a Sunday!

5:35 am

Marc Freeman

Good morning Miy, is that your hair?

5:35 am

Haz1558

That's only because you don't go to bed early enough on Saturday night..

5:36 am

karenth

hi miy
wasted words haz lol

5:37 am

tbear

Morning World.......:)

5:37 am

karenth

morning marc :)

5:37 am

Haz1558

I know - why would Miyavi listen to someone as old as me!!!

5:37 am

Marc Freeman

I remember my daughters, even if they went to bed fairly early on Sat nite they could sleep all day on Sunday.

5:38 am

Miyavi_fan

Hey Karen!
Haz! Of course I listen!

...listen to what?

5:38 am

Miyavi_fan

Hey Tbear :)

5:39 am

lottijw

((((Miyavi))))))

5:39 am

Marc Freeman

Miy- How about the hair, I know I am fixated

5:40 am

Miyavi_fan

Hey Lotti :)
Marc...uh, what? :/ far too early in the morning for me to read hidden meanings here!

5:41 am

Marc Freeman

Still cannot get the er7 or the te7/32 or the 8 any clues

5:41 am

tbear

Miyavi....hon...don't you listen to them...be a teenager as long as you like...stay in bed til midday...whatever...enjoy...my two have only just got up. Once you hit thirty plus guilt sets in......so enjoy it while you can....

5:42 am

Marc Freeman

Sorry, your icon is that you with the red hair. Didn't mean to be giving hidden messages just didn't want to get on your case so early in the morning.

5:42 am

Miyavi_fan

Tbear, I intend to! Was only driven out of bed this morning by the sudden urge to hear a song :/

I blame Dir en Grey...

5:42 am

karenth

marc for the 8 think

5:43 am

Miyavi_fan

Riiiiight! Marc, I wish my hair would go like that for me! My icon is actually a musician called Hide...died several years ago :(

5:43 am

karenth

marc for the 8 look no further than miyavi..... :D

5:44 am

Haz1558

Apparently, it's not just laziness that makes teenagers stay in bed for hours. They really do need the sleep. So, I do understand, Miyavi, it's just the mother in me coming out! Sometimes I hear myself saying things I swore I would never say to my children!

5:44 am

Miyavi_fan

7:01 am

Sherry

Bye Karenth!

7:02 am

Sherry

Miya: just babble in rythm!

7:02 am

Miyavi_fan

Lol Marc! How can you get up at 4?! That's insane!

INSANE I tell you!

7:03 am

Miyavi_fan

Sherry! Problem is, I've got the PV playing too, and both the song and Dir en Grey performing live is just too difficult to ignore!

7:03 am

Marc Freeman

Miy you don't need to know

7:04 am

Sherry

Miya: ADDICTED, HOOKED!

7:04 am

Miyavi_fan

*imagination goes into overdrive*

7:08 am

Sherry

Hi Caitlyn!

7:10 am

Miyavi_fan

Hey Caitlyn! I'm too far behind myself to help, but I'm, er, with you in spirit?

7:10 am

Dippnall

sc 6/24 - what you are looking at

7:11 am

Miyavi_fan

Woah...back in 5, must go do mad air guitar...

7:12 am

paperdoll

dip, I think that's the 6 21... the 6 24 is to see the future

7:12 am

Dippnall

in 6 - plural of in 5 - not active

7:13 am

paperdoll

Dippnall, i wasn't trying to call you a Dip - I just got to the bottom of my screen and couldn't remember your full name!
:)

7:14 am

caitlyn

Thanks dippnall got the in now ty still got trouble with the sc got the one you suggested

7:14 am

Jo

Paperdoll, it would be cool if Dr_G put a little link on the name, flag, gender bar that said "send message" and would pop you to the message window with the name already populated.

7:16 am

paperdoll

Jo - that would be very cool!
It would also be cool if we could minimize the gift box ad in order to see more of the chat...

7:16 am

Miyavi_fan

But then we wouldn't be able to abbreviate names, which would be irritating...I love being called Miyavi, Miy or Miya

7:17 am

Jo

Yea, Miy ... probably why he hasn't done it ... but, there are times that feels helpful. LOL. The Giftbox ad is awful big, can't see my chat at all ... :-(

7:18 am

Miyavi_fan

Plus, Jo, whenever you come on, I always have the biggest urge to call you Joe, just so I can say "hey Joe"...I blame Hendrix

7:18 am

paperdoll

caitlyn- add an s to your cr 5/14

7:20 am

Sherry

Thanks for the clues Dippnall and Paperdoll!

7:20 am

Jo

LOL, Miy!!! Funny enough, I was actually named in memory of my grand grandfather Joseph .. just feminized it by removing the "e."

7:20 am

caitlyn

Thanks paperdoll but got that as well its the sc6/24 im missing

7:21 am

Miyavi_fan

Hey Joe, heard you shot your woman down...

7:22 am

paperdoll

7:23 am

Sherry

Miya: lol!
Am listening to Johnny Cash just now, Folsom Prison Blues LIve. Sunday afternoon.

7:23 am

Jo

paperdoll, I'm sticking myself on the clue you gave for the sc 6/24 -- seeing into the future. Am I thick or what?

7:23 am

paperdoll

Emailed Dr. G about the possibility of a minimizable Gift Box ad...

7:24 am

paperdoll

Jo - see my 7:18am clue - see if that helps.

7:24 am

Jo

Way to go, Paper. He could also move it under the chat, just as visible ... only not so interferring with chat log reading.

7:24 am

caitlyn

paperdoll perhaps my list is wrong Ive got 2 sc6/21 and 1 sc6/24

7:25 am

Sherry

sc6: To see or predict the future by means of a crystal ball.
That's the exact def. Past tense.

7:25 am

Jo

Thanks, Paper! :-)

7:27 am

caitlyn

Thanks sherry

7:27 am

paperdoll

Ok - went to the brandyjack list and there are 2 - 6/21 and 1 - 6/24. I've refreshed, and s + cr5/14 (to see into the future) = 24 points.

7:29 am

paperdoll

Can anyone give me a hint for the te 7/28?

7:29 am

caitlyn

Pretty cool actually

Babs1

Does anyone know how you access the Enable Dictionary?

8:34 am

Sherry

Babs: where is that?

8:35 am

patact

yi 5--rhymes with a large person who has a lot of gi***

8:35 am

Babs1

The Enable dictionary is the source used for this puzzle...I just don't know where it is online

8:39 am

patact

ENABLE stands for "Enhanced North American Benchmark LExicon." It's a carefully researched and meticulously compiled combination of many other dictionaries (such as Merriam Webster 10th Edition and the Official Scrabble Players Dictionary), and has graciously been made available for public use by its lexicographers.

8:39 am

Sherry

Babs: that might mean the dico that you can access whrn clicking on the ? mark. Otherwise...just email Dr God himself to ask him.

8:40 am

Sherry

Oh Patact...I'll go to bed wiser!

8:40 am

Babs1

I know what Enable stands for....just wondering where you find it...

8:41 am

Babs1

Getting definitions for clicking on the ? mark often shows no definitions found

8:44 am

patact

the following site has the software available for download for ENABLE and other reference tools: http://personal.riverusers.com /~thegrendel/software.html

8:47 am

Babs1

whew! Thanks, Patact

Thanks to everyone who has signed up for GiftBox so far. I appreciate it!

10:21 am

Miyavi_fan

Miyavi_fan

Hey Sherb :)

10:21 am

lottijw

Movieman Penfold was one of the best toon characters ever!!!

10:23 am

And wot about the Transformers...can't wait 4 the new live-action movie to come out...

10:24 am

lottijw

LOL Movieman, I bet you watch Captain Scarlet on MOM don`t you!!!???

10:25 am

movieman

I see it when I can, but I don't think it's a patch on the original puppet series...

10:27 am

movieman

I have to admit tho', Dogtanian had one of the catchiest and most singable theme tunes ever!!!

10:27 am

Miyavi_fan

Lotti, have you forgiven me from this morning? :)

10:27 am

sherb

hi Anj, Miyavi :)

movieman - Danger Mouse a bit after my time - I'm more of a Stingray/Thunderbirds kind of girl - and Captain Scarlett, lotti! - dah dah dah dah, indestructible Cap-tain Scar-lett!

10:27 am

lottijw

You`re as bad as my hubby, he loves stuff like that, but aside from the toons, he watches Airwolf!!!

10:27 am

snowyowl

Hi all - back from the tree planting which was very cold
and damp as predicted! Fab crisp, blue skyed November day tho' and ground not as hard as I thought it might have been. Had to leave sooner than I'd hoped as my feet and my wellies had an argument which was painful to say the least. It's much nicer here sitting next to a red hot radiator!
Still looking good then Anj!

10:28 am

Anj

...my vote goes to The Hair Bear Bunch theme :)

10:28 am

Miyavi_fan

Hey Snowy :)

10:35 am

Anj

10:36 am

snowyowl

Nuke the whale Anj??? No No! I have to save the planet for my littlies now!

10:36 am

sherb

OMG, been back 20minutes...just entered my first word!

10:36 am

lianakate

Miya, sweetie..if you like those titles..then they are fine with ME.... :)

10:36 am

Miyavi_fan

In that case, those of us with different middle names really must be doomed! And poor guys were never given a chance :)

10:36 am

lottijw

Wish i was only your age Movieman!!!

movieman

Preferably while they're still in it!!!

10:38 am

lottijw

Here here Movieman!!!!

10:38 am

snowyowl

Do you think its tiredness makes us clumsy? I cut myself on a can on Friday and just cut a chunk out of my fingertip with a meat scissor! good thing I don't have to go out as the only sticking plasters I here have monsters printed on them!

10:38 am

Miyavi_fan

Thanks Liana :D
Movieman, nothing like a little arson on a Sunday afternoon

10:38 am

DarleenMB

forgot to mention ... refresh folks. Found a new one to entertain Babbler whenever she shows up.

10:39 am

Sanky

darleen: still loving your icon, i need more of it!

10:39 am

lianakate

I am a little unhappy about my two fingers being numb..i think it may be permanent.

10:39 am

snowyowl

Thats the one Lotti! Can still hear the music!

10:39 am

DarleenMB

LK when did you cut your finger? If it just happened it may pass... I hope.

10:39 am

Miyavi_fan

Liana, sounds bad...was the nerve actually severed?

10:40 am

melnyw

tiredness really does = clumsy, don't attempt walking down the stairs upon waking in the middle of the night....recipe for disaster! wait...maybe it was the darkness..either way it was painful.

10:40 am

Sanky

darleen- I refuse to refresh!!! PLEASE you should keep the old one!!

10:40 am

DarleenMB

ah Sanky.. you haven't seen the NEW one! Even more slurpilicious

10:41 am

lottijw

Snowyowl, the radio (wireless as my grandma called it) stories did wonders for the imagination :) Could do with them now!!

10:41 am

Sanky

darleen-then I shall take your word & hit refresh!!

10:41 am

DarleenMB

let me know what you think...

10:42 am

Sanky

Dar- count on it!

10:42 am

Anj

10:43 am

snowyowl

Radio 7 has childrens radio from 3pm - 6pm every day. 1 prog. called Little Toe and the other Big Toe! Must get my littlies to give it a try.

10:43 am

Miyavi_fan

Later Lotti :)

10:43 am

johnp

Hungover....brain functioning veeerrryyy slllooowly... any clues for the er 7 would be much appreciated

10:43 am

Marc Freeman

I don't know why I can't find re4/5 and re5/12 they should be easy but I think I have tried every combo with no luck.

Any clues, please

10:43 am

sherb

hey Darleen - there's a pe4 that's very apt today ;)

10:44 am

Anj

Lotti! Go with the McCain oven chips LOL :D

10:44 am

DarleenMB

LOL Sherb... that was EXACTLY my thought when I first saw this. I'm not a war movie fan but I'd go see Jarhead just to see THAT.

10:44 am

melnyw

you know it anj....it's bad...i got back from the bar last night and got on and plugged out some words! and here i am early morning back at it *sigh* it's slowly taking me...

10:44 am

Miyavi_fan

Is it just me, or is children's TV really sinister? Especially since the McDonalds clown *shudders* has his own TV series now. And Boobah

10:45 am

DarleenMB

Ah yes. Love it love, thanks sherb!

Anj, glad you think we can keep Babbler amused. Always aim to please.

10:45 am

lottijw

LOL Anj, not quite the same with pork!!!!
See you all later :)

10:45 am

Marc Freeman

I heard Jarhead was great but I can't see it too close to home. My son is in Iraq

10:46 am

Anj

Mel, there's something to be said for Babbling on alcohol :)
I always zip through the grid after a few beers lol

10:46 am

DarleenMB

Ah Marc. My thoughts to him and to you. This is nasty business.

10:46 am

melnyw

you know what...it's true! i got through 1/3 of it pretty quick!

10:46 am

Miyavi_fan

Marc, I'm sorry :(

10:46 am

DarleenMB

Babbling on alcohol? Hey I can't even manage it on water! OTOH if I drank maybe I wouldn't care so much.

10:47 am

renfield

it's really the pirate

10:47 am

movieman

mayavi - I concur...

And wot about the Tweenies...I mean, wot are they supposed to be...one is purple, one is blue, and one is yellow...

10:47 am

melnyw

Marc, your son is a good, brave man. Hats off to him!

10:47 am

sherb

best wishes to your son, Marc :)

10:48 am

Anj

It's true...I even tend to ignore the chat in favour of an OCD type fixation on finding the words... :/ LOL :D

Johnp - don't have the er7 i'm afraid. JUst monkeyed the ir9/60 tho' :)

10:48 am

melnyw

You know, I heard in Jarhead they don't show much fighting at all...it's more about the human interest...so i've heard (haven't seen it)

10:48 am

artlady

Mornin'/afternoon folks.

10:48 am

Miyavi_fan

I have no idea what the tweenies are supposed to be, but it's still better than Boobah. I think that programme is some kind of brainwashing facility

10:48 am

melnyw

i still find the teletubbies disturbing...

10:49 am

DarleenMB

I haven't seen it yet either. Did read a brief article in EW by the man who wrote the book (it's based on his experiences in the first Iraq mess)

10:49 am

DarleenMB

ARTLADY! mornin'!

10:49 am

Miyavi_fan

Hey Artlady :)

10:49 am

Anj

Hi renfield :)

Hi Artlady :) That's a fruity icon dear :D

10:49 am

artlady

Hi Darleen, Miyavi...I didn't change yet from last night...

10:50 am

renfield

great dinner dress

10:50 am

Anj

...I stopped watching after Banana Splits split....

10:50 am

artlady

ANj, I'm trying to rock everyone's assumptions about me...hence the red dress and pose...

10:50 am

sherb

hi artlady :)

johnp - er7 - promoting nasal discharge (yeuch!)

10:51 am

Miyavi_fan

I don't have many assumptions about people on babble...most of the time I don't know what to think!

10:52 am

artlady

Good one, Miy. You know what they say about making assumptions....

10:52 am

artlady

Good morning, Sherb. What a lovely clue you gave....

10:52 am

renfield

anj - another screen saver.... waiting with antici...pation

10:52 am

Marc Freeman

Thanks for the prayers, don't be sorry, he knew what he was getting into and it was his choice. Personally, though I do believe there is something nobel about it, I think he is nuts. Bad war for the wrong reasons. Sorry folks, don't want to get political but I had to say it. Better we drop it now. But I have to go now but I still need the clues for re4/5 and re/5/12

10:52 am

snowyowl

Hi Artlady - Still dressed to kill! I did suggest Satiny Sunday for today & that seems to fit the bill.
OK anyone think of an easy to prepare Christmas Craft for my Brownies tomorrow? Should be working on that instead of this really!

10:53 am

artlady

Christmas Craft? As in arts and..? or is this a food item?

10:53 am

Anj

*Anj does sultry gaze for Renfield*

10:53 am

melnyw

you could make snowmen out of marshmallows and toothpicks and then eat them! hehe

10:54 am

snowyowl

Marc re4/5 - what you pay to live in a house you don't own

10:55 am

sherb

Marc - re4 is the plural of an abbreviation for a word that means leisure (confused?), and re5 is the right hand page of a book (the re6 is the plural) :)

10:55 am

micamonkey

ce 5/ 12
ce 6/ 21
pls?

10:55 am

snowyowl

Likr the marshmallows -
artlady it could be anything - just not to complicated as i have to prepareit and the girls will have a choice of 4 things to o.

10:55 am

movieman

On another topic...does ne1 have ne embarassing confessions they'd like to share about their favoute pop groups in their youth...

Mine was Five Star (the Pearson family group from Romford, Essex)

10:55 am

johnp

re 5 12 is singular of the 6 21, means the right side of the page

re 4 5, think of another word for sport, fun, maybe gym class, shorten it and pluralize it

10:56 am

renfield

just one's look....that's all it took

10:56 am

melnyw

my first concert was New Kids On the Block! hahahah...the beginning of "boy bands"

10:57 am

Anj

Mica, bigger cousin in the violin family and it's plural.
Smaller than a double bass tho' :)

10:57 am

sherb

movieman - I've already shared my David Cassidy/Donny Osmond youthful obsession, and I'm not going any further than that, lol!

10:57 am

Miyavi_fan

To betray my ignorance, Artlady, I don't know what they say about making assumptions! :/

10:57 am

micamonkey

oh man for some reason i kept thinking that word is not valid so i didnt even bother trying!

10:58 am

snowyowl

Sorry Marc I can't count!

10:58 am

Miyavi_fan

Sherb, there's nothing wrong with sharing obsessions!

10:58 am

Anj

My youth was dominated by Quo, Slade, The Sweet, The Osmonds and Gary Glitter. Oh, and Suzi Quattro lol.

11:00 am

Miyavi_fan

I'm still in my youth and you can tell who it's dominated by!

11:00 am

snowyowl

and mine the Beatles & The Stones and then I got ballad bound so I loved Simon and Garfunkel!

11:00 am

renfield

clash, stray cats, fixx, tubes, boom town rats

11:01 am

Miyavi_fan

Dir en Grey, Miyavi, X Japan, Hide, Due le Quartz ^_^

11:02 am

Anj

Miy, we never had the internet then tho'
Multi media just meant a record deck with 16, 33, 45 & 78 in those days. *Anj listens for collective intake breath*

11:03 am

evanonut

hey all...i'm back.

11:04 am

movieman

11:07 am

lianakate

all my music dates from the late 50s and 60s..not to mention my mothers obsessions with the 30's and 40's...i must know at least 50 thousand lyrics to songs..if not more...then..there were my grandmothers tunes..geez..

11:07 am

johnp

I still need help with er 7 if there is any out there...

11:07 am

snowyowl

I can remember when a bottle of coca cola went up from 9d to 1shilling in our local coffee bar. teengers were fainting in the street!

11:07 am

Miyavi_fan

Heh...and I'm considered old fashioned because I like to buy CD's! It's my great outburst of materialism, I always feel so happy when I see that parcel with CDJapan stamped on the front :D

11:08 am

raolen

11:08 am

evanonut

he gained 30 pounds, couldn't eat, threw up a bunch, could barely breath...worst week of our lives. oh yeah, now he can't see.

11:08 am

lianakate

11:08 am

snowyowl

11:09 am

lianakate

11:09 am

Anj

evanonut, that doesn't sound like a walk in the park :/
Hope the outlook is brighter...

11:09 am

Ho Hum

Afternoon all,
I had a boyfriend that had an 8 track in his car - so impressed! LOL

11:09 am

sherb

john p - er 7 - first part (3 letters) means to wander or do wrong, second part (four letters) is a make of brandy :)

11:09 am

movieman

I can remember when there used to be such a thing as penny sweets, and chocolate bars and packets of crisps cost 20p or less...

11:10 am

snowyowl

Oh evanonut - you said it would be bad - have been thinking of you and keeping you in my prayers.

11:10 am

evanonut

anj, pure hell, only worth it if it works

movie - have a penny candy store 30 minutes from here

11:10 am

renfield

i love early jazz, and blues, i can tap dance to the 30's and 40's tunes - and twistin the night away - my parents always woke us up to music

11:10 am

johnp

snowy - funny clue, and Sherb - thank you both

11:10 am

Anj

Movieman, there still are :

11:11 am

snowyowl

Liana my dad was a Frank sinatra - Tony Bennet nut so I grew up loving all that styoe of music

11:11 am

evanonut

thanks snowy, knew it would be bad, but impossible to prepare for it. only good thing i can say is how wonderful the hospital staff was.

11:11 am

sherb

movieman - I can remember before decimalisation! - pounds, shillings and pence :)

11:11 am

Miyavi_fan

Evanonut, that's awful :( I'll keep you in my prayers too

11:12 am

evanonut

11:13 am

lianakate

evam..I didnt know you were in hospital!!!!! Glad youre home and on the mend.

11:13 am

Miyavi_fan

Okay...just seen a really weird fan video. It's just not right to put a DeG fan vid to the song 'kick the can'. Just not right.

11:13 am

Anj

101 :)

11:13 am

snowyowl

Its funny how we complain about our hospitals - but in a crisis and in the chemo units you generally hear fantastic reports of the staff - they almost always come up trumps.

11:13 am

movieman

And for those of u who are feeling REALLY nostalgic...try checking out www.retrocrush.com...

11:14 am

lianakate

snowy..i can play name that tune with sinatra and all of that ilk. I liked johnny mathis too..lol

11:14 am

evanonut

lian, actually my husband was in the hospital, but i basically was too since i never really left but to get a shower.

11:15 am

snowyowl

Lol Liana - loved Johnny Mathis.

11:15 am

Miyavi_fan

Since everyone else is putting up links...
http://www.youtube.c om/?v=V5xj4jMliU4
not right I say

11:15 am

evanonut

they were all great. except for one evi l nurse named xena. we called her the warrior princess.

11:15 am

lianakate

is he doing better now, evan?..gosh. My ex was in the hospital with a ruptured appendix..and peritonitis..for 4 weeks..I know how you must feel!!!

11:16 am

artlady

Whew! crashed and burned a bit on the computer...

11:16 am

evanonut

he feels a little better each day. he's in a clinical trial, so no telling what to expect. i just hope his vision clears up, we'll try to get him to an eye dr. tomorrow.

11:16 am

lianakate

I dont know if any of you are familiar with Etta James..i sing almost all her bluesy music!! Ooooooooooh..i love the blues..

11:17 am

evanonut

i'm a nora jones addict myself, since we're talking music.

11:17 am

artlady

Oooh, liana, we have similar taste in music. ILOVE her stuff! Plus other blues artists..

11:18 am

lianakate

Evan..will send up mega prayers for you and for him~~~!!!!

11:18 am

renfield

where did our pirate go?

11:18 am

artlady

Dianne Schuur, Jane Monheit (more jazz and standards), Diana Krall...

11:18 am

evanonut

tx lian

11:18 am

Miyavi_fan

...It's a really weird link and does make you wonder how Dir en Grey spend their spare time :/

11:18 am

snowyowl

No I'm not Liana - he was a Dinah Washington fan & ella Fitzgerald and we both loved the Inkspots!

11:18 am

lianakate

Hi, Art Lady :) She was awesome..died a yr or so ago, I think..

11:18 am

artlady

and Norah Jones, Susan Tedeschi (great blues band out of--I think--Massachusetts)

11:19 am

movieman

I can't believe it took me so long to find the 8...considering I had that many t's left to find!!! lol

11:19 am

artlady

Etta was in Chicago at the House of Blues a few years ago on our anniversary...but we didn't go. Bad move!

11:19 am

snowyowl

Guess we all like that laid back blues type stuff! Well who wouldn't for goodness sake!

11:19 am

lianakate

I love Dinah Washington.."What a difference- a day makes. 24 lit-tle hours."

11:20 am

renfield

and buddy guy

11:21 am

lianakate

Did the Inkspots sing "You always hurt....the one you love, ..the one..you shouldnt hurt at alllllllll"?

11:22 am

melnyw

pr 5/14 anyone? got the other prs but this one is elusive to me

11:22 am

Miyavi_fan

Movieman, I just read your profile, I think it's so great that you work with people with Aspergers Syndrome. Over the holidays I volunteer at a Hospice, but I think working like that full time is a really inspirational thing to do

11:23 am

lianakate

the PR..something was stuck ..so I took a knife and Pr... it apart..(and in the process, stabbed myself..LOL)

11:23 am

snowyowl

Oh Liana I don't know - I liked 'I like coffee - like tea' - cant remember the title.

11:24 am

lianakate

java jive...thats the title..Mahnatten Transfer sang that too!

11:24 am

melnyw

hahaha...thanks lianakate...seems so obvious now!

11:24 am

movieman

Miyavi...and I didn't even know I suffered from it until I was in my early 20s...it certainly explained a lot about why I never got on well at school (workwise or with my classmates), and why I took me so long to find a decent job...

11:24 am

lianakate

what is aspergers syndrome????..

11:25 am

lianakate

Mel, youre more than welcome :). I get lots of help and am pleased when I can give some in return~!

11:26 am

melnyw

we have several kids treated at our clinic that are "on the spectrum", a lot of them you'd never even know it - unless you really know what to look for...

11:26 am

Miyavi_fan

I just think it's a really great thing to do

11:26 am

movieman

liana...it's a form of autism characterised by not recognising facial expressions, not understand people emotionally, not socialising very well etc.

11:26 am

snowyowl

thanks Liana thats the one.
Hows this for coincidence. Miy reads moviemans bio and mentions he works with people with Aspergers Syndrome and my nephew who is 7 was diagnosed last week!

11:26 am

Miyavi_fan

...Typically, people with aspergers syndrome are really logical, great at maths, science, music...things like that

11:27 am

lianakate

i am stuck with 33 words left to find! I couldnt even noodle up the 8 or 9s...ack..I may need a break!

11:27 am

renfield

our pirate has disappeared snowy

11:27 am

movieman

In fact, it took me until I was about 24, 25 to find someone I could socialise with on a regular basis...

Some of u fellow babblers may know him as 'punster'...

11:28 am

lianakate

Thanks for the explanation! The little boy next store is missing his 18th gene..and has lots of troubles. He has a little book he carries with him to point out pictures..and does some signing..he is 4.

11:28 am

Anj

...no, just loitering with intent...

11:28 am

movieman

Unfortunately miyavi, I'm not one of those...I'm as illogical as they get!!! lol

11:29 am

artlady

I have several students in various places on the "spectrum," and they are all unique individuals. One is extremely bright and very artistic. Others have other strengths.

11:29 am

snowyowl

I 've seen punster here movieman - Is your organisation national? It may be a useful connection for my brother in law and his wife

11:29 am

Miyavi_fan

lol Movieman!

11:30 am

melnyw

snowyowl - there is a therapy technique called RDI that may be worth them looking into - I'm not sure if they have it available in your country, but it's worth checking out!

11:31 am

renfield

whew - i was about ready to put the pirates in the dvd - and put on my black pearl eye liner

11:31 am

lianakate

am going to google aspergers syndrome..bbl. (have a great interest in all things medical..) At one time I was going to be a doctor..My ex, wouldnt allow it..the bugger~

11:31 am

movieman

But I am great at making lists...in fact, I have just finished designing my own list of my DVD collection, movies being my particular strong interest, and I am also pretty good at remembering lines of dialogue from my favourite comedy shows (Red Dwarf, Blackadder etc), and my favourite movies...

11:31 am

snowyowl

thankyou melnyw will pass that on

11:33 am

Ho Hum

movieman - I applaud you for muttin gthat in you rprofile. I have a cousin who has aspergers but it wasn't diagnosed until a few years ago and she is 35

11:34 am

cybernan

Good morning everyone! -- been reading back through the log -- giving your age away, Anj, with talk of 45's and 78's!

11:34 am

snowyowl

aH MOVIEMAN THAT EXPLAINS A LOT - i WAS WONDERING WHERE YOU COPY AND PASTED ALL THOSE LINES FROM - AND NOW I KNOW!

11:34 am

snowyowl

sorry I hit the caps lock button = didn't mean to shout!

11:34 am

Miyavi_fan

Figures, that's logical. And I was admiring how you managed to remember such detailed blackadder dialogue!

11:35 am

movieman

snowy - unfortunately no it isn't, it's a registered charity called Red2Green and it is based in Cambridgeshire (where I am from)

But I think they should begin expanding...(it would certainly help a lot of other individuals with the same condition as I)

11:35 am

Ho Hum

argh it's all going pear shaped, I can't type and snowy owls caps lock is locked!!!

11:35 am

snowyowl

Husband due back from church any minute - off to prepare dinner bbl

11:37 am

snowyowl

lol - its joined my hip joints Ho Hum!

11:38 am

movieman

Also, that fact that I am so illogical probably explains y I can never finish a Babble grid without the aid of a2z and Babbler's Anonymous...

11:38 am

Miyavi_fan

Grrr...don't you just hate long downloads? Trying to get a sneak peek at Oresama and it's taking forever!

11:39 am

movieman - logic has nothing to do with it...I almost never finish a puzzle without using a2z and second letter list! :D

12:07 pm

Hurshy, nasal discharge... I don't have a better clue...

12:54 pm

hurshy

12:55 pm

artlady

Don't you love learning these pleasant new words???

Well, it wouldn't do to show up at the same grid wearing the same icon. That was my Jack last night, probably after you left, and this a.m. , so I tried the all-seeing eye of Sauron.
I need a REALLY big eye dropper.

2:33 pm

lshult

7 to go.
all t's

2:34 pm

lola100

baggo, lol! I thought my head was going to split open on me this morning. I got together with two old school friends last night and we partied SA style!

2:34 pm

Anj

Ah, so you've sampled the delights of Poteen then??

2:35 pm

baggo

that's the name of it...oh my gosh!!!! and how does one party sa style??? i did the irish thing friday...those boys can drink...

2:37 pm

lshult

seems i'm missing 4 th's
starting with th6

2:38 pm

Anj

...stick an E on the end of the first th5 :)

2:39 pm

Anj

*Anj chortles away at the thought of 'Mrs Balls Hot & Spicey..."*

2:40 pm

baggo

th5/12 are giving clues because th4/7 want you to find the words...

2:40 pm

lshult

just realised I only have the 2nd th5

2:40 pm

lshult

just realised I only have the 2nd th5

2:41 pm

baggo

well if ya have the second change the consonant on the end and do what anj said

2:41 pm

lola100

baggo, plenty of sa wine and music! Problem was we haven't seen each other since we were students and we kinda forgot that we are quite a few years older now!

2:42 pm

Anj

Lo, you should learn to talk more and drink less ;)

2:42 pm

baggo

that was my problem too...i kept up on the pints, beer isn't a problem it was the nasty poteen that did it, i stayed away from the whiskey, but then they made me do the other...and i couldn't smell it just had to shoot it...i thought i was on fire...

2:43 pm

lola100

LOL! There was plenty of talking babe ;)

2:43 pm

Miyavi_fan

*crying* Man, I'm disgracing myself tonight. Watching a movie that I can't understand because it's all in Japanese and not subtitled, yet I'm still crying at the bits that are apparently sad. Just because the film has Miyavi in it.

2:43 pm

baggo

then my husband tells me i got up on table and tried to do the irish jig with another girl...

2:44 pm

lola100

But did you snog her?? ;)

2:44 pm

lshult

that worked a treat.
just 1 th to go.
last th5/12

2:44 pm

baggo

not that he told me and if i did i don't think i want to know....lol

2:45 pm

baggo

put and e on the skinny one

2:45 pm

baggo

oops no an l on the one above it...

2:45 pm

dlfox

is there a the.. that isn't in any dictionary?

2:46 pm

Anj

Miy, find a happy place.
Better still, watch Tetsuo Bodyhammer. It's probably less distressing :)

2:46 pm

lshult

okay then not the last th5/12 (the middle one!)

2:46 pm

baggo

the "the" is a caffeine derivative

2:47 pm

baggo

ishult, put an e on the skinny one...

2:47 pm

Anj

Baggo, we used to take poteen along to the football matches in winter to keep warm. Only the suicidally brave took a swig. Everyone else used it to light a fire :/

2:47 pm

CATHB

lshult add an e to your th4/5

2:47 pm

Miyavi_fan

Oresama isn't distressing...it's just that Miyavi's crying. I think I'm just keeping him company. Though I really don't understand what's going on...I think he went back in time at some point

2:49 pm

baggo

oh my gosh these girls got out lighters for a song that the band was playing, and i was afraid to breathe cause i swore i would light something on fire...

2:52 pm

lola100

Anj, baggo, are you guys having a problem getting into last?

2:52 pm

baggo

lola, i'm on but it keeps skipping...

2:52 pm

Anj

Ah, that's the good stuff :) Rocket fuel. Generally usurps your body for the most neinous acts of depravity whil perfectly preserving your total recall which you don't realise until someone utters the rhetorical trigger phrase question "What were you like last night?!"

2:53 pm

Anj

Lola, haven't been able to access it since about 1am this morning. Always times out.

2:53 pm

baggo

lol anj!!!!!

2:54 pm

lshult

okay, now i'm confused. I have 3 th5/12's
the th5/12 suggesting it's of someone else
the th5/12 - skinny one + e
the th5/12 as my ist th5/12 but changing the last letter to n
please tell me what I'm missing?!??

2:55 pm

CATHB

finished at last...must go now and sort lunch for work tomorrow..see you all tomorrow night
snowy if you are still there i will ring after brownies

2:55 pm

baggo

ishult, it goes above the 6/21 take off the e..or if it helps a caffeine derivative used with cancer patients

2:56 pm

4:01 pm

Babbler

My favourite Mae West one liner is: "It's not the men in my life, it's the life in my men".

4:27 pm

lola100

4:27 pm

Anj

Hi Atalante :)

Babbler, the first te5/12 sounds like a v similar word meaning blunt or short in speaking
An L on the end of that will get you the te6

4:28 pm

renfield

4:28 pm

Babbler

Anj

4:39 pm

Maru

Ok Anj. I didn't get it. bu, bu, bu.
I have the woody tr 4/4. Would you mind giving me another clue for the other tr 4/4?

4:39 pm

Anj

Babbler, I could only describe it earlier as the abbreviation for South California without the A but with an E on the end...

4:39 pm

Atalante

Wait till Aug 06. It'll be the same as the 10 books before it :P

4:40 pm

Bobsta

4:40 pm

lola100

4:40 pm

Anj

Evening Bobsta :)

4:41 pm

Babbler

thx Anj :)

4:41 pm

Bobsta

Hiya Babbler, hiya Lola and everyone. ;o)

4:41 pm

Anj

Maru, it ends with the same letter as it starts :)

4:42 pm

Atalante

ermmmmmm the viewpoint of someone who got fed up of nothing ever happening by book 7 LOL!

4:42 pm

Babbler

how's your day been?
what did you have for breakfast?
did you go out last night?
what are you doing this week?

(one post at a time please !!! LOL!)

4:42 pm

renfield

hey bobsta

4:42 pm

Maru

Thanx Anj...

4:42 pm

Babbler

that was for Bobsta ....

4:43 pm

Bobsta

hey Renfield,
Babbler: Brekkie was sunday roast

4:43 pm

Anj

WoT is a bit of a labour of love, granted. It will probably read better once they are all released and you aren't waiting 18 months for each instalment lol.
The latest is actually getting good reviews as it ties up a few of the story threads

4:43 pm

Bobsta

Day was good cos my team drew today

4:44 pm

Anj

...really? What did they draw??

4:44 pm

Bobsta

Didn't go out last night, too knackered from Friday

4:45 pm

Bobsta

Anj: LOL!!!!!

4:45 pm

Atalante

I do want to read them all - but I'm waiting till it ends - if it ever ends. I just couldn't face the wait, then loooong book where nothing much happened, then a wait etc etc. I loved up to book 5. Books 6 and 7 just tired me out ...

4:45 pm

Anj

sorry Bobsta. Up the Hammers then??

4:46 pm

Bobsta

And this week i ar mostly workin' in Coulsdon
*pants heavily after too much typing in one hit*

4:47 pm

Anj

Atalante, he's also re-issued the early ones as two-book breakdowns now. Not sure if it's a cash-in or bonus edition type of thing.
Oh well, will just get Peter F Hamilton's Judas Unchained instead then :/

4:47 pm

Babbler

LOL Bobsta !!!! There, there, all that typing is exhausting.......... so what did you have for dinner?

4:47 pm

Bobsta

But of course Anj
Should have seen the celebrating in the pub afterwards, you'd have thought we'd won!!!

4:49 pm

Bobsta

Home made chicken curry and Home made pilau rice.
i was gonna ask for some of your potato stuff earlier but i was full at the time.

4:49 pm

Babbler

first sc6/21 anyone pls?
and the sc6/24, if that's ok?
ty pls : D

4:49 pm

Atalante

I didn't know that! I thought I'd seen some new RJ titles that I didn't recognise, but I thought that must have just been my imagination. Get some George RR Martin instead LOL *inserts mega-fan plug*

4:50 pm

Babbler

sounds lovely, Bobsta!!! cor !!!

so, aaahhh *thinks* do you have to get up earlier tomorrow cos you have further to travel?

4:50 pm

Bobsta

Babbler: sc6/24, put an s in front of your cr

4:50 pm

Anj

Well Spurs are one of the Sleepers this season I think. Jol has got them playing well - plus it's your local derby so any 92nd minute equalizer is like a winner :D
We tonked the Hoops 3-1 yesterday. Holly was not a happy chappy by all accounts...

4:51 pm

Bobsta

*sad face*
Yeah, gonna sign off in a minute, gotta have a shower and stuff

4:52 pm

kllyjansen

hi 6/ 24 hint please??

4:52 pm

Babbler

*sad face also*

make sure you post a few times before you go, yeah??
; )

4:52 pm

kristin

Babbler sc6/21 - think of motorcycle or bike, think of the word before it - remove one "o" in the bike

4:52 pm

Anj

klly, sounds like purple :)

4:53 pm

Bobsta

Anj: ahh shame.
you're right though jol has got them playing well.
I think we're doing fantastic at the moment, to tell you the truth i didn't hold out much hope for us this year

4:53 pm

Jera

Greetings, fellow Babblers! How is everyone doing?

4:53 pm

Babbler

inspired clue, kristin !!!!!!!!!!!! ty!!

niiice icon !!

4:53 pm

renfield

no sad face - please no sad face - you just gotta stay happy 8-)

4:54 pm

lola100

Hi jera :)

4:54 pm

kllyjansen

what the heck is that???? i have it but I can't even find a definition

4:54 pm

kristin

thank you babbler - thought it was an appropriate icon for this crowd - LOL

4:54 pm

Bobsta

hey jera :)

4:54 pm

Anj

Atalante - Song of Ice & Fire?
Must admit I've learnt to hold off trilogies until they are written lol. I didn't think WoT was going to stretch to 12 books. Only other series like that is Asimov's Foundation stuff or maybe Hugh Cook's Chronicles of an Age of Darkness - and they all read as individual stories in their own right...well mostly.

4:55 pm

Bobsta

right then guys 'n' gurls, i'm off gotta go and do the three esses.
nite nite x

4:56 pm

Babbler

hey jera !!!!! :D

4:56 pm

Anj

klly, no idea. Not even sure if it will Google. Just another quirk of Enable :)

4:56 pm

Babbler

hey jera !!!!! :D

4:56 pm

Anj

'nite Bobsta :)

Hi Jera :)

4:56 pm

lola100

'nite bobsta :)

4:57 pm

Babbler

LOL Bobsta !!! of course I didn't understand that, cos I'm a lllllllllaydeeee !!! Have a good week, mate ! :)

4:57 pm

Jera

I must challenge the second th4/5... although it is useful as a clue to the th8...

4:57 pm

Atalante

I'm still not actually convinced RJ will ever finish WoT! And yes, A Song of Ice and Fire. The newest book came out a few weeks ago after about 2 years of waiting! Why do authors do this to us!!

4:57 pm

Babbler

Jera - Harry Potter?

4:58 pm

Jera

Yes, I'm incognito today...

4:59 pm

Jera

Gwyd starts preschool tomorrow & I'm going to see the movie ALL BY MYSELF!!!

4:59 pm

kristin

Must say Anj, you are looking mighty sexy today...

4:59 pm

Sherry

Hi folks! Am back!

4:59 pm

Babbler

you lucky thing, Jera!! I've heard it's the best so far :)

4:59 pm

lola100

Ooh, good luck with that jera! :)

5:00 pm

Babbler

hey Sherry !!!!!!!!!! :D

5:00 pm

Jera

WB, Sherry!

5:00 pm

lola100

Hi sherry :)

5:00 pm

Jera

We'll see... as an avid fan of the books, I fear I will be disappointed... I've heard of some rather disturbing omissions...

5:01 pm

Anj

Atalante, tell me about it. I can never pick up the story thread again if it's been too long. It's why I've switched from bookshelf-sized sagas to one-off or themed stories like Terry Goodkind, Alistair Reynolds, David Brin, Charles de Lint...

5:01 pm

Anj

Why thank you Kristine :)

Evening Sherry :)

5:01 pm

evanonut

jera - haven't got to see it myself, but i can understand omissions on the movie. think how long it would take to get it all in.

5:01 pm

Jera

I like to read stuff over and over again! It's been some time since I've read a new book... it was Harry Potter, actaully!

5:02 pm

Babbler

that's why I haven't seen any of the movies, Jera. I'm a big fan of the books too. I'm going to wait till I've read the entire series (inluding the one not written yet), THEN I'll consider the movies..... :)

5:02 pm

evanonut

babbler, no need to wait to watch the movies. their on line enough to keep from confusing you.

5:03 pm

renfield

i've been reading how buidlings are built & supported in siberia

5:03 pm

Jera

It is possible for a movie to be different from the book, but still good. I try to keep an open mind. I just don't understand the logic of some of the changes... leaving some things out & adding others... very annoying to one who's practically memorized a beloved book.

5:03 pm

evanonut

sounds all consuming ren

5:03 pm

lola100

Right, I must be off to bed, busy day tomorrow. Good night everyone :)

'nite babe, sweet dreams (((xxx)))

5:04 pm

Jera

NIte, Lola... sleep tight!

5:04 pm

Sherry

Good night Lola!

5:04 pm

evanonut

remember jera, they work out the scripts with jk, so it never strays far.

5:04 pm

Babbler

nite Lola Wola !!! sweet dreams, luvvie ! : )

5:04 pm

Sherry

*refresh*

5:04 pm

Atalante

I love Charles de Lint! And Sheri Tepper - her books are usually nice and separate. That was always my problem with WoT - by the time the next book came out I couldn't remember half of the detail from the previous ones. So I'd end up reading those and then the new one, and I'd spend half my life reading them!

5:04 pm

Anj

'nite Babe :) Sleep off that hangover lol (((xx)))

5:05 pm

Babbler

Jera, that's the nature of adapting for the screen. Some ideas just don't make the leap. That's why some characters are fused into one. Or some are divided into two. Or like Bleak House on BBC1, they create a new character all together !!!!! : )

5:05 pm

Jera

I'm a big fan of Elizabeth Peters and Lillian Jackson Braun... both truly excellent series writers...

5:06 pm

evanonut

now if we're talking excellent series writers, one cannot leave out janet evanovich.

5:06 pm

Babbler

?? I did, Sherry, but I still see a guy with a fish on his head.... ?? I already saw him before..... ??

5:06 pm

Atalante

Elizabeth Peters *perks up more* she's one of my favourite favourite writers

5:07 pm

Jera

I think it was very smart of JKR to keep consultant rights (or whatever that's called), evanout!

5:07 pm

Anj

Atalante, if I could recommend anyone one book it would be de Lint's Someplace to be Flying. I love his Newford stuff...probelm is he's releasing soooo much at the moment that I don't know what to get next. I would like to get Memory & Dream but it's swapping hands 2nd hand for ridiclulous prices :/

5:08 pm

Jera

Atalante... Have you read Serpent in the Crown?? It's her latest... extremely excellent!!

5:08 pm

Babbler

Who wrote Shameless?? He's my favourite series writer. Top guy.

5:08 pm

Sherry

AH AH AH! one of my attempts at Paint! It's John Sheppard from Stargate Atlantis...dressed him up into a knight...it's a feather on his head actually! lol!

5:09 pm

evanonut

well jera, they'd be dumb not to consult her because she's the only one that knows the end of the story.

5:09 pm

Babbler

LOL Sherry!!! oops! so sorry!! I thought with all the fish slapping we do, you got an illustration for us!!!! : D

5:09 pm

Atalante

yes I have, Jera! Actually I got it in the US - thankfully - cos I havent seen it here yet! I havent read that one Anj - I'm adding it to my Christmas list right now. Do you like Neil Gaiman's books by any chance?

5:09 pm

Jera

Currently I'm reading The Cat Who Went Bananas... how's that for a cute title, LOL!

5:11 pm

Babbler

Wayne & Waynetta
her: have you read any good books lately?
him: yes, but I found the plot a bit too complicated so I could not continue
her: what was it called?
him: Spot The Dog

LOL!

5:13 pm

renfield

5:13 pm

aknitter

i am having ce -- issues. any clues out there for those of us who a really dense????

5:14 pm

kristin

5:15 pm

Anj

5:16 pm

Sherry

Just lose the electrically charged particle :)

5:21 pm

Sherry

Th6/21 and te7/28 please!

5:22 pm

Anj

Sherry, th6/21 is the first th5/12 with an E on the end :)

5:23 pm

Atalante

if you're ever bored Anj, you could do much worse than picking up some more Gaiman. Especially Good Omens - that is just fabulously silly.

5:23 pm

Anj

...the te7/28 is a large, er, French serving bowl :/

5:23 pm

Sherry

Thanks Anj! I should have known...

5:25 pm

Babbler

took a while, Anj, but I got there! thx mate ! :)

5:25 pm

Anj

Atalante, i'm trying to be good with books at the mo. I'm reading Adolf Galland's The First and the Last now, and that will be followed bt Bruce Campbell's If Chins Could Kill. hen i've got another 35 new ones to read :/ I'm a bookaholic...never pass a bookshop without getting something...

5:26 pm

Babbler

It's so great to hear people talking about books !!!!!!!!!
Anyone read the No 1 Ladies Detective series?

5:26 pm

Anj

Babbler, you done? :)

5:26 pm

Sherry

5:27 pm

renfield

sorry babbler - i had to (crunch, chrunch) get some carrots - i haven't eaten since the twizzlers last nite - if you're read Thomas Mann's Dr. Faust - they run along the same lines - bringing people together in Platonic intellectual spiritual being relationships (hope I didn't ues any words from the gird)

5:27 pm

Babbler

ummmm, 23 still to find........... :/

5:28 pm

Anj

ah Sherry, you need to whack your 2nd te6/21 with the plural fish :)

5:29 pm

Babbler

the last two pr words in the list, anyone pls?
pr5/22 and pr6/36 (presumably related??) ty

5:30 pm

Sherry

Babbler: in a contest you can win a pr****

5:30 pm

Atalante

5:30 pm

renfield

5:30 pm

Sherry

Anj: look how terrible this is...haven't got any of the te6/21 yet. I was going for the points there!

5:31 pm

Babbler

gottem! why I didn't see them, I don't know

*picks up the haddock........ *

5:31 pm

Babbler

I have a gazzillion books to read too!!! My living room looks like a library!! :D

OK, I give up. What planet is the yi 5/16 from? Any clues? It's my last word.

5:35 pm

renfield

Anj

boat, Sherry, start with the te5 that sounds like blunt speaking but is splet with a C
- put an L on the end for the first te6/21
- swap the L for a T and you get the 2nd te6/21
- whack it with the plural fish for the te7/32 :)

5:39 pm

allstart, Naked Friday is becoming a tradition, along with Skimpy Saturday.
Now and then we theme our icons. I'm normally a fractal, but the girls get a 'woot!' out of the Depp man so....
