1:18 am

zubie

List is not up yet

1:19 am

Babbler

hey all, just popped in to copy the grid and take it to bed.

hey Zubie! What did the doc say? : )

1:20 am

zubie

Hi Babbler. The doctor still doesn't think it needs an xray! But I'm to rest it more and next checkup is tomorrow.

1:20 am

GreyWoulf

hey, I'm back for a quick pass through before I go to bed now that litties are fed and happy :)

1:21 am

GreyWoulf

zubie - is the ankle feeling any better at all?

1:22 am

Babbler

Zubie, humbly request a second opinion. He/she is obliged to honour that. Or take yourself to A&E, if you can. Something isn't right, is it? :/

1:23 am

zubie

Doesn't feel more painful, Babbler. But didn't look less swollen when I saw it last night.

1:23 am

GreyWoulf

Hey Babbler, knowing nothing about j-pop I googled it with wolf and came up with the group Guitar Wolf :)

Know anything about them?

1:24 am

zubie

Hi GW. Ankle isn't hurting more - but isn't hurting less, either. I'm on brufen - good or bad?

1:24 am

Babbler

It's not just the pain, Zube, that swelling is wrong.
Does everyone agree with me?

1:25 am

Babbler

hey GW - don't ask me, mate, I'm clueless! It's Miyavi_Fan who is our little j-rocker. That's fantastic you found a band called Guitar Wolf! LOL! Are they japanese as well?

1:27 am

GreyWoulf

Being on brufen is good, anything that helps your body spend its energy on healing and not enduring

Another important consideration -- how well are you maintaining proper hydration? -- how much water are you drinking each day -- that will also have an impact on how quickly the swelling recedes

1:28 am

Babbler

excellent point GW ! Also, did you know water is a natural pain killer? Sounds mad, but it is. : )

1:28 am

GreyWoulf

Bab - yes they are -- you may have noticed that I am trying to always have a wolf to match the daily theme -- I'm kinda glad I missed smiley day bec there are no smiley wolf images ;D

1:29 am

Babbler

I did notice, GW !! :D

1:30 am

Babbler

I'm sure I saw a wolf icon of yours recently that was very friendly and smiley?

1:30 am

GreyWoulf

zubie - the key is to be drinking at least 4-6 glasses of water every day -- not soda and definitely not anything caffeinated -- the caffeine counters the benefits of the water -- you can still have coffee or the like, just not as the majority of your fluid intake

1:30 am

zubie

Really, GW? The water, I mean. I don't drink enough even at ordinary times. :s/

1:31 am

GreyWoulf

Well, true Bab - but I was looking for a yellow smiley to match everyone else

1:31 am

zubie

I try to drink 6 glasses of water a day but never reach the target.

1:32 am

Babbler

I wanted a smiley of Aishwarya Rai, but I changed it to a smiley to match everyone else too! : )

1:33 am

GreyWoulf

zubie - really! I am always getting chastised by Kirsten bec I don;t drink enough water myself. But I have to admit that I find I do function better on the days that I actively work at drinking at least 6 (8 ounce) glasses of water throughout :)

1:34 am

GreyWoulf

Bab - I have no idea who you are referring to

1:34 am

Babbler

Zube, water is the best thing. But it can get boring. If you're looking for alternatives that you know you WILL drink, try herbal teas, green tea, or naturally decaffeinated tea like rooibus / redbush / bush tea. Do aim for those 6 glasses. (you really need more, but not too much!) :)

1:35 am

Babbler

oh, oops, she is a bollywood actress who is making it big in hollywood now. She was a Miss World at one point. I had her icon for a while, until we started theme days. : )

1:35 am

zubie

I forget to drink water! I've taken to keeping a bottle on the table but even then, I forget! When you mentioned it, I realised I was thirsty. Probably been an hour or more since I began to be thirsty but it didn't register in my head!

I've now begun on glass #1! [cheer!]

1:35 am

GreyWoulf

BTW - has anyone claimed first find on the 7 today?

1:36 am

zubie

I have a w8.

1:36 am

Ho Hum

tw7/44.
Morning

1:36 am

zubie

Yes, I just realised I have the 7, but someone mentioned both earlier - I forget who.

1:37 am

GreyWoulf

well I have a p7

1:37 am

Babbler

well done, Zube! Proud of you! Did you know, when you're thirsty, actually, (supposedly), you're already dehydrated?

(full of information today, aren't I? LOL! ) : )

1:38 am

GreyWoulf

True, Bab -- a friend of mine told me taht when you feel thirst it means you are already about a quart low

1:39 am

Blaze

and funnily enough I was told that you were drinking enough water if you are thirsty.... Pass the champers please

1:40 am

Babbler

*passes champers to blaze* : D

1:40 am

Blaze

ta babbler

1:41 am

Babbler

Well, it's time to say sayonara !

see you all later today

:D

1:41 am

spatialbean

david sylvian!

1:41 am

GreyWoulf

(*opens new bottle for Blaze*)

I think that refers to the fact that you're body is reacting properly to stimuli, Blaze. I think one of the signs of severe dehydration is that you no longer feel the urge to drink -- similar to how the body will suppress the hunger urge after a while

1:42 am

Babbler

hope you feel better, Zube ((((hugs))))

and *hugs* to GW ! : )

ooh, spot on, spatial!! :D

1:42 am

GreyWoulf

Later. Babbler -- have a great day!
(*HUG*)

1:42 am

Blaze

You are are probably very correct.....

1:43 am

mab

Good morning! Happy Thanksgiving to US people, happy Japanese day to all.

1:44 am

GreyWoulf

Morning, mab -- Happy Thanksgiving!

1:45 am

zubie

Ok [shamed and hiding] I understand! I will drink more water! I hereby appoint all of you to remind me to drink a glass of water BEFORE I type a word each day!

1:46 am

Blaze

Zubie you will be floating or peeing through the grid.....:)

1:46 am

GreyWoulf

zubie - no need to feel that way -- Blaze and I were exploring a tangent :)

Besides you know it's because we care :)

1:47 am

zubie

Lol Blaze! :o Shhh!

1:47 am

zubie

Yes, I know, GW, and I'm touched. I am so new here and everyone is so friendly. It's wonderful! [bear hug]

1:48 am

GreyWoulf

I feel the same way :D
(*bear hug back*)

2:01 am

Blaze

I only have 64 words to go.... and yes I would like fries with that.....LOL

2:01 am

GreyWoulf

66 here, but running out of steam...

2:02 am

Blaze

I'm running out of letters and words....LOL

2:02 am

zubie

82 and stuck

2:03 am

GreyWoulf

I feel a little punked because I can't see the w8
Probably bec I'm tired...

2:04 am

zubie

GW - w8 builds on what you advised me to drink lots of!

2:04 am

zubie

Imagine me drinking it and barking. I'll be a w8!

2:05 am

Blaze

Zubie a real New Foundland dog to the rescue... our saint of words......Wub U

2:05 am

GreyWoulf

thanks, zubie -- I don't think I've heard of that critter before :)

2:06 am

spatialbean

oh it's a type of salamander

2:06 am

zubie

Lol - I hadn't heard of that word either. I was monkeying around, typing whatever I could!

2:06 am

GreyWoulf

tbear

nava,it's a derogatory term for a gay man in the uk

3:21 am

SweetTooth

I'm having trouble finding a def. for the M7, but I think it's the face of a crab with an alt. ending. Or imagine a toddler saying my fake hair piece.

tbear

nava,are you a Spanish speaker?

3:50 am

nava

3:51 am

Eva

I don't know about the movies - but in the fairy tales there's an o4 monster.

3:51 am

Haz1558

The o4 monster has a vowel beginning and end.

3:51 am

nava

tbear

Haz1558

You might be glad of blocked airways if there were lots of them going on....

4:03 am

nava

tbear, what do you mean you don't use anything either...i really don't know what a2z is. sounds like a help sheet

4:04 am

Haz1558

www.a2z.com is the refuge of those who, like me, need a bit of help! You can type in the beginning of a word and it will list all the words or most of them.

4:04 am

tbear

Haz....absolutely... Nava,think it's a word site ask someone else to explain it,i have no idea....see you later lovely people...

4:05 am

Haz1558

There's a to6/18 (funny word for a certain part of the male anatomy) that isn't 'allowed' by the grid's dictionary either.:-(

5:16 am

5:17 am

Jacula

If you keep golden 'orfe' in your pond, you'll find this grid won't let you. 'Fatdog's' not allowed either. LOL. Nor the tw7/44 extension of one of the tw4/8's!

5:18 am

Ho Hum

Yoink - nice one thanks, zobie, think body art

5:19 am

Jacula

Zubie - Having looked quickly at your list I think you have a ta6/18 and a te6/21 missing.

5:20 am

zubie

Oooh Yoink and Ho Hum. Missed that completely. Thanks! One T and One O now!

5:20 am

Jacula

Zubie - te6/21 - Think container for popular UK & Indian drink.

5:21 am

zubie

Yayyy! I got the missing T thanks Jacula! And I drank that all day! [thwacks my own head].

Lotti - I will!:-)

5:30 am

Anyone has any idea of the O I'm missing?

5:30 am

Jacula

5:31 am

Any idea of its value?

5:32 am

Jacula

No, Zubie. Sorry. I'll let you know as soon as I find it.

6:47 am

lottijw

Hi again Sherry.....the grid pleases itself from day to day!!!!

6:47 am

Jacula

There is a workman digging a hole in the pavement at the end of my drive who seems to think it is amusing to yell, 'AARGH!' to his mate up the road with every stroke of the spade. If he continues to be amused by this, he may well find himself head down in his own hole.

*Quietly fuming here.*

6:48 am

Jacula

Sherry, 'Oreo' is a brand name, so not allowed.

6:48 am

lottijw

Jac don`t forget to stick the spade in his head first!!! LOL

6:48 am

Jacula

Lotti - Don't tempt me!

6:49 am

zubie

Lol Jacula - just for that, I'm glad I didn't leave yet! I actually forgot to close the window and got busy with another site! Now I'm happy I didn't miss that! :D

6:49 am

Sherry

Jacula: I know! But I keep trying that kind of words at time...just in case! lol!

6:51 am

Jacula

Sherry - Me, too. I never believe that the grid won't accept 'Erse'.

Zubie - I'll take a photo if I do upend the b*gger!:-)

po7 is a derogatory term for gay person (not related to po5or 6) - an extension of po4/8

Jo

lshult, thanks ... I'll get to work.
For yours .. combine an enemy + your jacket got "t---" on the fence .. drop the fence. Drop the last letter.
Does that help?

7:26 am

lshult

7:26 am

Jo

O M G you guys! OF Course they would be obvious!! Get the fish out ...

8:35 am

Dachef

Hi All!

I think we have a problem here. It will not accept Frodo, which means he does not exist. People of Middle Earth, hear me well, GANDALF IS LYING TO YOU!

8:35 am

tbear

Joelgee...STOP IT...I'm melting...(and I'm accused of being cynical!!) Keep going,keep going......lol

8:36 am

evanonut

8:36 am

joelgee

dachef--
Very brave calling Gandalf a liar. Remember, "wizards are subtle and quick to anger"
(or something like that)

8:36 am

tbear

Dach.....what are your sandwiches like???? ROFLMAO.....only kidding Joel!!

8:37 am

Sherry

Hi Dachef!

8:37 am

Marc Freeman

Hi all, happy thanksgiving. Very frustrated today because the wife wouldn't let me have my big thanksgiving and we are going to some friends and I am not cooking anything. Seems so out of place. Last year i will allow this to happen. I hate being out of control but maybe a good lesson for me.

8:38 am

Dachef

also, according to the god of the little red box, Godot does not exist either.

I bl**dy well knew it! Someone tell Estragon and Vildamar, they're gonna be peeved.

8:38 am

Sherry

Dachef: yeah, I tried Frodo and Oreo too...

8:38 am

evanonut

sherry, no snow? how depressing. how do you freeze your turkeys then?

8:38 am

Jo

LOL Marc .... hmmm, bit of a control freak are we? ;-) Think of the positives .. no clean up, free food ...

8:38 am

Marc Freeman

8:40 am

Dachef

Temple - hi, been meaning to ask - any particular significance for your moniker there?

8:42 am

joelgee

Well, Godot, you just have to wait on him. He's always late. Try again later.

8:42 am

evanonut

the key, joel, is really expensive tires.

8:43 am

Marc Freeman

Sorry Babsta it is cold here to. I have a good friend here with your real name. A little older and owns a chimney sweep company.

8:43 am

joelgee

Now if only all the other drivers would get real expensive tires and remember from one year to the next how to drive in snow.

9:24 am

Nump

9:24 am

Babbler

9:31 am

tbear

9:32 am

Nump

Some days I just plain don't have the time to play except at work and I won't get many words. Frequently have nasty headache by the time I get home (not so nasty when I head off to work, but by 16h00, bloody hell). Save my main acct for the days when I can get serious about it.

9:32 am

Bubbles

thats what the gmtv weather women said at 7.30am this morning

9:33 am

joelgee

yes, tbear. That's it.

9:33 am

Babbler

gosh bubbles, as soon I saw your post, the wind picked up!! eeeek! I'm getting the train to croydon now...... oh dear!
:/

9:34 am

Marc Freeman

tbaer don't worry we both had senior moments at the same time. Darleen thank you but maybe it wasn't a senior moment it could have been a blond moment except I am not blond. Just a joke in the midst of humiliation.

sherry your clue, so intellectual I am impressed. I don't know if it will help but I will look at it.

9:34 am

tbear

Bubbles i know it causes probs...but YAY..I gave up my vehicle some years ago and only have a racing bike now,which has gone into winter storage so I'm on shanksies pony and love SNOW....as long as it clears on the 14th and 26th of Dec,when I'm flying to Espana

9:34 am

Bubbles

oh dear, its ping it down here at the minute, but then i am at whipps x so its always dull here!!! Make sure you put on socks, hat, gloves and scarf!!

9:35 am

DarleenMB

hey Marc, no need to feel humilated. Many's the time I've tried to slap that square peg in the round hole and couldn't figure out why it wouldn't go... :-P

9:35 am

Babbler

it's come from nowhere here too, bubbles. I must have jinxed it when I asked....... blimey! :/

9:35 am

micamonkey

9:35 am

9:36 am

Bubbles

tbear i love snow, last year it snowed the day after boxing day in wales, it was lovely as me and bobsta were having our christmas day on that day so we had a white christmas!!!

9:36 am

Sherry

Marc: if I told you the real way I found that mo 7/44...french/quebecois word for 'skunk' and remove the third letter!
Then I looked up the definition, which I gave you.

9:36 am

Babbler

awwwww, Mica! You did great, I wimped out at 300. That grid nearly killed me! : )

9:36 am

micamonkey

I'm only half awake, but I still can't get the mo 7, even after reading all the wonderful clues. Anybody care to try again? Or should I just have some coffee and try again later?

10:46 am

hurshy

10:46 am

brandyjack

Actually, a to5/12 is a carved icon used by many superstitous early tribes to represent the god that favors them. Some were tribe oriented, some were personal. The massive poles used by Native Americans are an extreme form of the art.

10:46 am

hurshy

do5 - nike slogan: "just __ __"

10:47 am

Bobsta

ah i see, well, i'm told today is either turkey or miyavi day so i chose miyavi.

I think Mica meant the po7. And it's British slang for a homosexual male. Build on the po4/8. Or combine the po4/8 with the o5

macadam

Marc , instead of hilltop ... "My jacket got t--- on the fence" and drop the last letter.

11:04 am

hurshy

marc - to enemy, add what happens to wet wood, backwards

11:04 am

micamonkey

harpjane: lolol no he's not so cute hahha

fe6/27 is Brit spelling (proper) of fe5/16

11:06 am

micamonkey

harpjane, at7 = right now you are at7ing to find out what the word is

it means to try something

11:06 am

harpjane

ty hurshy. I didn't have the te word either!

11:06 am

Haz1558

Also, speedfreak sam there are two idiots - both tw 4/8

11:07 am

hurshy

but harp, it's a real word and it means to try. you can totally get it. (the te5 is to try to get someone to do something naughty)

11:07 am

harpjane

There's a do4 idiot, too.

11:07 am

hurshy

oh i see you said "didn't" not "don't", so you're all set i guess. :)

11:07 am

macadam

Marc,the hilltop -backwards it is what happens to vegetation as it dies back.

11:07 am

micamonkey

i think i really should go to bed
its 1.11am :P

11:08 am

Jo

sadly .. there is a limecat.net ....

11:08 am

lottijw

Sam you`re brilliant you see, now you have the longest word in the grid today!!! What about fa6/27 it`s what you`d get if you eat too much junk food :)

11:08 am

micamonkey

lol jo you tried?! :P

11:08 am

Jo

Hursy ... maybe we just simply eat too much. Overloading on carbs can make you sleepy.

11:09 am

hurshy

well, it's very pleasant, anyway. :)

11:09 am

Yes, I'm a shamless Google W*ore. ;-)

I was going to have a, um, rather nasty sex ed. class, so in honour of that she got everyone on babble to post bananas as their icons. I didn't have the lesson in the end, so they gave me the gift of a j-rock day :D

11:16 am

Jo

Sam, what's your icon. Is that a j-rocker?

11:16 am

Ouwachita

any clues on the po6/21...I have the one that is Harry's last name....plzzzz

3:39 pm

Miyavi_fan

Ewww...Yoink! My maths teacher is about one hundred years old and smells like a neglected pond

3:39 pm

Anj

Miy, I know what you mean. It's a written version of the Mommy Voice : )

3:40 pm

Yoink

Ahh, eau de neglected pond, one of my favourite fragrances

3:40 pm

brandyjack

Think chips.

3:40 pm

Anj

Ouwa, you want chips with that? Though clue might ap-peel ; )

3:40 pm

Miyavi_fan

Yoink, it is typical old man teacher smell. Mixed slightly with gin :)

3:41 pm

lola100

miyavi, does my icon mean anything to you? I just googled j-rock and liked this one, hope it's okay?

3:42 pm

Miyavi_fan

The mommy voice? Is that an actual term? Myself, I can see my maths teacher in my head...sitting the way all men inexplicably sit, only straighter so his knees click...*shudders*

3:43 pm

Miyavi_fan

*squinting at icon* If I'm right - and I'm probably not, my contact lenses have gone AWOL - it looks like it could be one of the off shots for A$hita, Genki ni naare :D

3:44 pm

Ouwachita

DUH>>>>you can tell it is a holiday here...my brain has the day off...thanks

3:44 pm

Miyavi_fan

I know I recognize Anj's though...was listening to Loudness this morning :)

3:44 pm

Anj

...! DeG's Vulgar is retailing for $54 in the States : /

3:44 pm

Anj

Ouwa, I missed that one too lol

3:44 pm

Miyavi_fan

It may not be though, Lola, the head looks like it could be someone else...

3:45 pm

Miyavi_fan

Really?! I guess it's because they're import copies, but...a copy is already on it's way to me :D

3:45 pm

lola100

miyavi, I get that a lot....

3:46 pm

Miyavi_fan

*slips in contacts* In fact...it's, er, not MYV...can't actually figure out who it is :)

3:46 pm

Yoink

I only knew 3 Japanese bands before coming on Babble, Polysics, Melt Banana and Guitar Wolf, of which only Polysics I really liked, though Melt Banana were good live

3:46 pm

Ouwachita

I have one 4 letter word to go...do4/5 near the bottom....have the french artist and the excessive fondness ones

3:47 pm

Ouwachita

if I get some help, I can go back to eating more turkey

3:48 pm

Miyavi_fan

Yoink, what sort of bands are they? Are they rock, pop, or "death-metal-filth-fetish-roc k"? (the category Jonathon Ross put Dir en Grey into)

3:48 pm

lola100

Three left and I'm too tired to care about the damn fish. Can someone please help me with ot5/10, ro5/10 and ta6/18??

3:48 pm

Anj

Ouwa, sounds like the thing you open & shut to get in/out of a roomy??

3:49 pm

Ouwachita

I have that one ANJ

3:49 pm

Miyavi_fan

Isn't the ot5/10 the mammal that lives in water? Or is there more than one?

3:49 pm

Anj

ot5/10 - next time you go for a chinese, order Chicken Tarka. It's like Chicken Tikka, only 'o...... LMAO :D

3:49 pm

lola100

*sigh* No, that's the one miyavi...hand me the fish please.

3:50 pm

lola100

Anj, chances are it's actually ot5/10. That's why I avoid those places :/

3:50 pm

Miyavi_fan

*hands large haddock with long, spiked up, blond hair, scary make up and piercings* The haddock has gone j-rock too :)

3:50 pm

Anj

OK, ouwa, how about two x two letter words which seperately might be an order to get busy??

3:51 pm

lola100

Oooh! A filth-fetish-fish! :D

3:51 pm

Anj

Lo, don't be silly. It's more likely to be cat, dog, rat or pigeon. Only the plumpest, choicest.... no, let's not go there...

3:52 pm

Miyavi_fan

*cheesy grin* a filth-fetish-fish...Kyo inspired :D

3:52 pm

Yoink

Polysics are kinda electronic-noise-rock, Melt Banana are even noisier noise-rock, short sharp shocks of songs, and guitar Wolf are a bit more conventional indie-punk rock kinda stuff. Funny, each of them to me has a cover that sticks in my mind, Polysics with "My Sharona", Melt Banana with "Surfin' USA" and Guitar Wolf with "Summertime blues"

3:53 pm

Miyavi_fan

Ah...do they sing in English or Japanese? Or Engrish...which seems to be what Panic Channel chose :) Can someone please tell me what "what self bades street, stay with me alone to sun" means?!

3:53 pm

judierae

Oh my goodness~~~ I forgot to thank you Anj..I was so excited about finishing, I danced around the turkey ( which I obviously am) and totally forgot...being 69.....quite a sight!! anyway many many thanks

3:53 pm

lola100

No. Let's not. You're cooking on saturday.

3:53 pm

Anj

I'm listening to Loudness at the mo, and trying to track dow which albums my Dir en Grey songs are from...

3:54 pm

Ouwachita

thanks...ANJ....finally got it...sometimes it is the easy ones that are the hardest to see

3:54 pm

Anj

y/w welcome Judirae. Did the turkey get to lead then?? lol : D

3:54 pm

Miyavi_fan

Hey, just name the song and I'll name the album :)

...I hope...

3:55 pm

lola100

Um...did you lot not see that I needed two more clues?!

3:55 pm

judierae

giggle

3:55 pm

Anj

Ouwa, in my experience, it's ALWAYS the easy ones that ar hardest to find LOL :' )

3:55 pm

Yoink

Guitar Wolf I think English, Polysics both, and Melt Banana, you try listening to them and telling me! I haven't got a clue.

3:56 pm

Ouwachita

bye all...see you tomorrow

3:56 pm

lola100

'bye ouwachita :)

3:56 pm

Ouwachita

will give a clue if anyone needs one...

3:56 pm

Miyavi_fan

If you can't tell, it'll probably be Engrish. "I believe was rocking my dream" :D

3:56 pm

Yoink

Anj, have you tried allmusic.com? indispensible

3:57 pm

Miyavi_fan

Hey, this could be a good test for me :) Try me

3:58 pm

Anj

Sorry Lola *looks contrite*

ro5/10 - half a schwarm in the Luftwaffe
ta6/18 - body art : )

3:59 pm

Anj

OKaaay...
Erode, Karasu. Macabre & Scars : )

4:01 pm

Miyavi_fan

Macabre is from Macabre :)
Erode is from Missa, their first mini album...
Got a feeling Karasu is on a single...if not, then either Vulgar or Withering to Death (nice and vague)
And...I wasn't aware Dir en Grey have a song called 'Scars'...could be on the playlist for WtD, which I haven't seen yet :/ Scars is a song by X Japan, though

4:02 pm

lola100

Thanks Anj, got the ta6 but I can't make head or tail of your ro5 clue :/

4:04 pm

lola100

Yay! Just monkeyed it, I'm done :)

4:04 pm

Yoink

Lola, when something has gone off it is ro6, take off the last letter

4:04 pm

Anj

Lol, better not mention gruppe or geschwader then : )

OK babe, you're SA'n, someone knocks on the door, you grab the rifle, open the window and ket the r.... out.
Lose the I, double the cuppa and add an E

4:05 pm

Anj

Cheers Miy. Think you're right about Scars. Hmmm, must have mislabelled that one... : /

4:06 pm

lola100

lol, no! And it's a handgun, not a rifle ;)

4:06 pm

Yoink

And I'm done! Woo-hoo!

4:06 pm

lola100

Go yoink! :)

4:06 pm

Miyavi_fan

Oops...I was wrong about Karasu though...it's from Kisou :/

4:07 pm

Miyavi_fan

...And you're welcome, If I can remember my manners!

4:08 pm

Anj

Yay! Yoink :)

Finished then Lo??

no worries Miy lol

4:08 pm

Miyavi_fan

Nice one Yoink!

4:08 pm

lola100

I am :)

4:09 pm

Miyavi_fan

And nice one Lola :D

4:10 pm

Yoink

Well done Lola :)

4:10 pm

Miyavi_fan

One of the titles of the song had me confused, though Anj...just please tell me, is 'keloid milk' (er...Kyo's words, not mine) going to be something I'll want to find out about? I know what Keloid as and it's not nice!

4:13 pm

Anj

Miy, it's just the Jap/Eng language thing again. Keloid is scar tissue, so it's just getting descriptive with plasma methinks : )

4:13 pm

Anj

Well done babe : ) Slow dance again??

4:14 pm

Anj

Miy, i've found another. I've got The Final as DeG but that's an X Japan track too isn't it?? : /

4:14 pm

Miyavi_fan

Thanks Anj...knowing Kyo, that makes a lot of sense...like when I was trying to decipher the word 'mazohyst'...turns out the poor dude got confused between Japanese and English *again*

4:14 pm

Yoink

MF, dipping into my first taste of Miyavi right now...

4:14 pm

lola100

Mmm, lovely. I've got the OP on already ;)

4:14 pm

Miyavi_fan

Yoink, really? Which song? *calm down Miy*

4:15 pm

Yoink

Hatachi Kinenbi, I have the first 6 songs off that album so far and I'm checking them out

4:16 pm

lola100

Right guys, time for me to get some shut-eye. I'll see you all on monday, have a great weekend :)

'nite babe, sweet dreams :) (((xx)))

4:16 pm

Miyavi_fan

Great...Hatachi Kinebi, Peter Pan Syndrome :) Bit of a strange song, have you heard Girls, Be Ambitious?

4:17 pm

mab

Have a lovely weekend, Lola.

4:17 pm

Miyavi_fan

See you later Lola :)

4:17 pm

EvaNadine

*pops on just in time to say gnite to lola*

4:17 pm

Yoink

Bye Lola :)

MF, I will have done in about 10 minutes

4:17 pm

Anj

Nite Lola ; ) (((xx))) Sweet dreams : )

4:19 pm

Miyavi_fan

Brilliant :) That was the first Miyavi song I ever successfully translated...then found an English translation for on a site two days later >_<

4:19 pm

Anj

...just been listening to Increase Blue. That's quite a good track as well.

Hi EvaN : D Have you survived the turkey???

4:19 pm

EvaNadine

evening all!
im full of turkey and sleepy now!
hehe

4:20 pm

Miyavi_fan

*fights urge to throw arms around Anj and proclaim everlasting love*

4:21 pm

EvaNadine

so very yummy...turkey, cornbread stuffing, roast potatoes, carrots, green beans, corn, cranberry sauce...we are all taking a break before dessert -- we have a choice of apple pie, pumpkin pie, flan, or strawberries with cream.
:)

4:21 pm

mab

evana! no tackling anyone? It MUST be the tryptophan (sp).

4:21 pm

periwinkle

missing an ab/4, have the one that means to assist

4:21 pm

EvaNadine

feeling too fat to tackle anyone...hehe

4:22 pm

mab

Flan, please. And apple pie.

4:22 pm

EvaNadine

im gonna opt for strawberries + cream...and maybe i can hunt down some ice cream while im at it.
;)

4:23 pm

Miyavi_fan

I love to make apple pie...no idea why. I feel really housewifey when I'm doing it though..the next day I'll start weeping at nursery rhymes and adverts for wholesome brown bread :D

4:23 pm

Anj

Peri, a farewell : )

oooo! strawberries & cream. I hope it's clotted cream dear or you're really missing out : D

4:24 pm

EvaNadine

oh, its hand-whipped by my daddy!
he wouldnt serve it any other way!

4:24 pm

mab

Miy: my icon is a bit retro, but I am going to Anj's music sight tonight and I'm going to finally (if I figure out site) listen to some Japan rock. Finally getting curious.

4:25 pm

Miyavi_fan

*wraps Mab in massive hug* yay :D

4:26 pm

Miyavi_fan

Wait...what are your normal musical tastes like?

4:26 pm

mab

(hugs back) Shall I start with Miyavi?

4:27 pm

Miyavi_fan

Depends who you're into usually...lots of people are repulsed by dir en grey...but that's usually after I translate the lyrics for them :)

4:27 pm

Anj

Mab, not sure who's streamable on there, so try and find a radio tag for j-rock : )

EvaN nooooooo! Whipped cream... no! Bad EvaN lol
Must be clotted, or double in a worst case scenario.
Clotted cream does not come off the spoon without industrial grade assistance : D

4:28 pm

mab

I'm jazz, blues, classical; so this will be a departure, but it's about time I stepped into the 21st century.

4:28 pm

EvaNadine

hey, youve never HAD my dads homemade whipped cream.
its pretty thick stuff!

4:29 pm

Miyavi_fan

In that case I'd definitely try starting with something softer...Dir en Grey can go OTT sometimes...listen to Pink Killer sometimes if you don't believe me :D Some lighter Miyavi may be a good start...Girls be ambitious or Coo Quack Cluck (don't ask!)

4:30 pm

periwinkle

Need help with G's please. I have the color and the cave. What am I missing?

4:30 pm

Yoink

Well, there they go. For some reason not what I was expecting, but not bad, needs further listening to develop a proper opinion

4:31 pm

mab

Oh, oh, oh -- clotted cream! yum. can be gotten in posh markets, of which there are none in my corner of nowhere. Just as well as I'm financially compromised.

4:31 pm

Anj

EvaN, OK e-mail me some lol
Don't forget the sprinklies : )

4:31 pm

Miyavi_fan

Great :) What were you expecting?

4:32 pm

EvaNadine

gonna go enjoy my berries now...
might be able to hop online later, but im sure youll all be gone by then...
gnite all!

4:33 pm

mab

I'll try numerous bands. Would like to hear girls be ambitious. Appeals to my quaint feminist notions.

4:33 pm

Miyavi_fan

*musing to self* Berry...that's a dir en grey song...

*snaps to* er, I mean, later :)

4:34 pm

mab

ENJOY evana!!!!!!!!!!

4:34 pm

Anj

'nite EvaN - enjoy! : D

4:34 pm

Miyavi_fan

Good...name appealing, that's a hopeful start :) The translated lines for that song are stuck permanently in my head!

4:35 pm

Yoink

You know, I have no idea, yet it still wasn't what I was expecting. Heavier than I was thinking, and then in that song you mentioned, the vocals surprised me when they came in as it sounded like a routine heavy metal song until that point

4:37 pm

Miyavi_fan

Well, thanks for checking it out :) I don't know why, I just love it when people are open minded towards it...so thanks :)

4:38 pm

Yoink

I'm open minded to any music there is, I refuse to be pigeon-holed *looks around furtively and flees from approaching pigeon-holes*

4:39 pm

Anj

Miy, how about Clever Sleazoid and Deity??

4:39 pm

Miyavi_fan

That's great, I wish I was as open minded as that...I'm stuck very firmly in my j-rock pigeon-hole.

It's really quite cosy...:D

4:40 pm

Miyavi_fan

Anj...the albums, you mean?

4:40 pm

Anj

Yup, Amazon USA has a good list of albums but i've still got a few loose tracks...

4:40 pm

periwinkle

Is everyone finished but me?

4:41 pm

Haz1558

No peri, I'm still at it. Downloading the stats to have a proper go.

4:42 pm

periwinkle

I feel better now. Lots of chatting so I thought everyone was done.

4:43 pm

Miyavi_fan

Richtig...Clever Sleazoid is a single, and Deity *concentrates* is on Macabre...

...the very first track :D And it's, um, all sung in Russian...o_O

4:43 pm

Haz1558

I have 80 words - let me know if there are any I can help you with and I'll shout for help if I need you.

4:44 pm

periwinkle

Haz, I am up to 105. I will help if I can

4:44 pm

Anj

Cheers MiY : )

4:44 pm

Yoink

Peri and Haz, I'm here to assist if you like :)

4:44 pm

Miyavi_fan

Hey, you forget you are giving me a chance to talk about Dir en Grey, I should be thanking you :D

4:44 pm

Haz1558

Oh good, reinforcements.

4:45 pm

periwinkle

Yoink I need help with the G words. I have the color and the cave.

4:45 pm

Anj

Same here, Haz, Peri - sing out of you need help : )

4:46 pm

Haz1558

There's go 4 - think of blood and ?

4:46 pm

Yoink

When a bull sticks it's horn through someone it's said to go4 them

4:46 pm

Yoink

Also, shorten your cave by 2

4:47 pm

periwinkle

Yoink, I did that. STill need ge4, please

4:48 pm

Yoink

Peri you need to ge4 clue for it!

4:49 pm

periwinkle

Yoink, thanks. had tried that one with two t's but it didn't work.

4:50 pm

Anj

peri, there's 'a' vowel on the end ; )

4:50 pm

Anj

woot! Umbrella, complete with mad chicken noises now : )

4:51 pm

periwinkle

thanks, Anj, found it. Need an fa4, got the kismet one.Also need do6.

4:51 pm

periwinkle

Just found the do6.

4:51 pm

Yoink

Do6, there was an artful one in Oliver Twist

4:51 pm

Miyavi_fan

Same here...:) I finished the translation yesterday, so have been getting as much of it as I can :D

4:52 pm

Anj

Peri, a passing phase, with a hoop on the end : )

4:53 pm

Anj

Miy, couldn't find artwork for Clever Sleazoid or Fukai but nailed all the rest.

4:53 pm

periwinkle

thanks, Anj, found it just as I saw your clue.

4:54 pm

Miyavi_fan

...artwork?

*hangs head* ignorance...

4:56 pm

Miyavi_fan

Wow, I'm watching the live Umbrella...it always amazes me that me makes those incredible choking noises on stage as well...especially when he did Mazohyst of Decadence.

4:56 pm

Anj

Miy, for iTunes. I'm in the process of tracking it down for all 4500 plus tracks : /

4:57 pm

Miyavi_fan

*brain parachutes out to safety*

4:59 pm

Yoink

I love itunes, it doesn't work properly at work so I have to use winamp, but at home I always use it

4:59 pm

periwinkle

Need help with me7 and mo7 and the mo5's. I have an mo5/12

5:00 pm

mab

listening to radio now; if you go to npr.org when you have a few minutes you can listen to stories about thanksgiving menus in new orleans -- nothing like what's standard in the rest of the country-- and Missippi Delta music in the '40's (fascinating). I'm addressing anybody I guess. This is too good not to share. (Can listen anytime)

5:01 pm

Miyavi_fan

I don't trust my computer to go to any radio sites...it just about handles youtube :/

5:01 pm

Yoink

Mo5s, there is a credo or saying, that word with another vowel on the end, and a word like a roadside place you stay in overnight with a different vowel on the end

5:01 pm

Anj

Peri, me7 - m3 - as in bumped into someone you know, and o4 - gem or stone, drop the L and replace with an E

5:02 pm

renfield

mab -listen to npr everyday

5:02 pm

mab

It's silent though, until you click on the story you want. But I don't understand how computers handle these things.

5:03 pm

Bobsta

wooo hoooo
and done!!
evening everybody ;o)

5:03 pm

Yoink

Congrats Bobsta, the old lurk and jump out ploy eh?

5:03 pm

Miyavi_fan

Okay, this has been driving me mad...

http://www.youtube.c om/?v=V5xj4jMliU4

does anyone know who sings the song that's playing in the background of this fan video? (wow...sounds like I'm doing a radio comp) It's been driving me nuts for days...

5:04 pm

mab

Renfield: as a virtual recluse (have been ill) it's all I listen too, all the time. I don't think the radio has been off for the past six months at least.

5:04 pm

Anj

Peri, mo7
Grand M... Tarkin from Star Wars plus Steven Spielberg's cute alien guy forwards, then backwards : )

5:04 pm

Bobsta

you got it Yoink
been here since about 10ish (hee hee)

5:04 pm

Anj

Bobsta! A woot! is in order I believe : )

5:04 pm

periwinkle

Anj, can you help me with the mo7 and the mo5's.

5:05 pm

Bobsta

woot!!!!

5:05 pm

mab

Bobsta! sneaky. You're gorgeous. Your icon, I mean.

5:05 pm

Miyavi_fan

Mab, isn't it though?

My beloved MYV :D

5:06 pm

Bobsta

hi mab, yes its some BLOKE called miyavi i believe

5:06 pm

Anj

Peri, 3 x mo5s
- place you drive to for overnight stay, but with a T on the end, not an L
- reverse the last two letters of the above word
- Drop the E and replace with an O

5:06 pm

mab

I would look up 'woot' on the britslang site, but I think it must just be what it sounds like, like yippee.

5:07 pm

Miyavi_fan

Yup, that's Miyavi :D

*whispers to icon* "they don't mean it, they know you're a guy really"

5:07 pm

Yoink

MF, Shazam tells me it is Myslovitz with "Krak W"

5:08 pm

Miyavi_fan

Yoink...wha?

5:08 pm

5:08 pm

periwinkle

Anj, having trouble with the mo7. Haven't seen Star Wars. so not sure what comes in the middle.

5:08 pm

Yoink

Shazam is a number you can phone up and put your mobile phone next to music, it listens for about 20 secs then hangs up, then texts you with the artist and name

5:08 pm

Bobsta

miyavi: i honestly didn't know it's a fella, i said earlier that i thought it was a really cute girlie. tbear soon put me 'straight'.

5:09 pm

Miyavi_fan

A definite woot!
Aww, Tbear *hugs* solidarity, sister :)

5:09 pm

Ooh, leave me in my insanity :)

Ot4 is a character out of the Simpsons if you watch it

5:15 pm

5:15 pm

Bobsta

Yoink, nope don't watch the Simpsons.

5:16 pm

Bobsta

5:16 pm

mab

Some tatoo! (this is my new response to everthing surprising: 'some xx!')

5:16 pm

Yoink

ok, it is or followed with what everyone was just saying to Miayi_fan, with the last letter off...

5:16 pm

tbear

DJs.....Yay the very best

5:17 pm

tbear

Just to say sorry Bobsta

5:17 pm

mab

I think we shall have to cosult Babbler, but I think we should be theme-free until something really grabs us. Besides, tomorrow is Saturday. Less traffic.

5:17 pm

Bobsta

no need tbear honey,
I really love that icon!!!

5:18 pm

Yoink

Yes, that was a crappy clue and yes I did spell Miyavi_fan's name wrong

5:18 pm

tbear

One of my cats who sleeps in her basket next to me is making that 'I'm warning you that I'm clawed and dangerous' noise in her sleep...it's really funny..Feel like waking her but she'd probably claw ME

5:22 pm

periwinkle

Need help with P's. po5 and one of the po6 ( I have Harry's last name)

5:23 pm

mab

I have no such excuse. However I'm thinking of buying a bottle of shiraz tomorrow, but that would hardly explain today's confusion. Let's just say my grasp of reality is tenuous these days.

Feeling any better today, tbear? Have you consulted doctor?

5:23 pm

Haz1558

The po 6 is a vegetable.

5:23 pm

Yoink

Po6 comes mashed and chipped...

5:23 pm

tbear

Nite bobsta....skip that ciggy...you don't need it..you're just trying to kill me really!! See you tomorrow

5:24 pm

Yoink

See ya Bobsta

5:24 pm

periwinkle

There are two po6, I need the other one

5:25 pm

Haz1558

po 6/21 - either Harry or the vegetable used in mash, chips, crisps etc

5:26 pm

mab

Nite Bobsta.

Cute kitty dj, tbear. Love when kitties dream with little growls and twitchy paws, claws extended, then retracted.

5:27 pm

tbear

No mab...I'm a great believer in just letting bugs run their course...tomorrow will be day 5 tho!! If you can you should try,I think it was called Black Chook,apparentely it's great...have been looking for it here but so far no luck...still whilst looking found a Chateau Neuf du Pape on special offer,saving it for my birthday next month...yum

5:30 pm

mab

hmmm..seen chook in stores, but not tried it. Maybe. Well I hope the course of your infirmity has been thoroughly run, then.

5:32 pm

Haz1558

tbear - I know what you mean about letting things run their course, but don't leave things too long in case things get nasty. I speak from experience!

5:33 pm

Babbler

KONICHIWA !!!! *hic*

5:33 pm

Hi Everyone, I have one word to finish and it's the po7. Any clues? thanks

5:33 pm

Yoink

Hi Babbler, bye Babbler!

And bye everyone else

5:34 pm

tbear

Thankyou mab...me too. Think Joelgee recommended the wine,discussing shiraz,one evening...

5:34 pm

mab

Agreed. Consider torgone's son.

I hate antibiotics and their over-use is dangerous for everyone, but just a check can't hurt.

5:34 pm

Babbler

bye Mr Yoink : )

5:35 pm

Babbler

cliff notes anyone?

5:35 pm

Yoink

Heh, you can just call me Yoink you know, I only use the Mr prefix if my name is already taken

5:35 pm

Haz1558

To the po 4/8, add the last three letters of po 6/21 the Harry one.

5:35 pm

tbear

pezzie...it's not the derogatory one for gay man is it?

5:35 pm

mab

bye yoink. hello babbler! sounds like you're feeling well again?

5:35 pm

Babbler

I like Mr Yoink ; ) teehee !

5:36 pm

Babbler

well, a nite out with a good buddy always does the trick, doesn't it? :D

5:36 pm

Yoink

Fair enough then! G'night!

5:37 pm

pezzie

I don't know if it was, but it took what I put in. Thanks, I'd never heard the word before

5:38 pm

Anj

Hi Babbler : ) Good night ??

5:38 pm

tbear

Babbler...you had a good one then? If you all knew my doctor you'd not go either...think you'd have to be carrying a limb in a bag to get a response....he's ok but so laid back...you end up feeling like an idiot

5:38 pm

mab

Britishism, pez.

5:39 pm

Haz1558

tbear - change your doctor!

5:39 pm

pezzie

Now I can get to the ads. I haven't figured out where I'm going to go shopping tomorrow. LOL

5:40 pm

Babbler

great night, Anj, Tbear ! :D
tbear, you need a new doc, hun. I'm sure there's a way you can do that. I'll think of something tomorrow when my brain is in gear again :)

5:40 pm

mab

Aaaak! you're a brave soul pezzie!

5:41 pm

Babbler

so what did I miss tonight? cliff notes anyone?

: D

5:41 pm

pezzie

LOL, two years ago I got in line at 4 in themorning for a laptop at comp usa. They only had 10 and I was the 10th one. That was luck. I don't think I'm going out that early this year.

5:42 pm

brandyjack

i detest doctors who prescibe pills for every little affliction. Almost as much as I hate the idiots clogging the emergency room waiting to get those damn pills.

5:42 pm

tbear

Anj...my doctor comes to the coach sometimes...that's kinda weird....especially as what I tend to say is 'How are you' as he watches me slurping gin....ha

5:43 pm

Babbler

BJ, what's your icon? : )

5:43 pm

pezzie

Night all, thanks for the help.

5:43 pm

5:51 pm

brandyjack

If it's whacking you on the head, does it really matter where it came from?

5:51 pm

tbear

Brandyjack very worried about the polar bears up your way,sounds like they could be having a very bad time if there's no freeze....

5:52 pm

tbear

Or a late freeze

5:53 pm

Haz1558

Finished!

5:53 pm

Sounds like heavenly weekend planned. Enjoy! Bye Anj. Say hello to everyone for me.

Awww, that's so cute.

5:55 pm

tbear

Where's it snowing haz?

5:55 pm

Haz1558

We don't get a lot of snow here, but when it arrives Spangle gets really excited, trying to shovel it with her nose and toss it in the air. It is cute!

5:56 pm

Haz1558

Ballymena in Co. Antrim. We were fog bound for four days and now the snow!

5:57 pm

I suppose once Thanksgiving is over you can all start putting out Christmas decorations. In Britain they start putting out stuff in August. Slight exaggeration but not much!

6:01 pm

lalobstah

Nah....the shops here have been putting Christmas stuff out for the last two months. Shame....

hey all, Happy Thanksgiving to everyone.
Only have 1 left, me7/36. Help anyone?

6:43 pm

mo7: add a frenchy sort of ending. sort of like little miss mufette sitting on her tufette.

6:45 pm

lalobstah

great clue mab. tyvm

6:46 pm

mab

Hi doxy. me7 --- past tense of 'to meet' plus a hoop, plus to tender money for something, but use latinate spelling. Does that help?

6:47 pm

doxy1lover

Mab, thank you so much. I tried everything but that early this morning.

6:48 pm

mab

My pleasure.

6:48 pm

doxy1lover

Any clues needed?

6:49 pm

mab

fo6?

6:50 pm

speedfreak

Hi All Just back from Thanksgiving with family Doxy do you have the te6/27 please

6:50 pm

Jacula

Hello. I'm here for a while to help give clues, unless Doxy's got it all under control?

6:51 pm

doxy1lover

speed, change the last letter to a "sometimes" vowel

6:51 pm

doxy1lover

Hi jacula

6:52 pm

mab

Hi jacula.

6:53 pm

speedfreak

Thx Doxy never heard of that word before...

6:53 pm

doxy1lover

I hadn't either. Just stumbled on it this morning

6:54 pm

Jacula

Mab - fo6 - Think 'enemy' + 'hilltop'.

6:54 pm

mab

Thanks, Jacula.

6:55 pm

doxy1lover

sorry, my son signed on and am talking to him also

6:55 pm

speedfreak

Should have figured it out with the total but too tired after yesterdays puzzle and all the food today...

6:56 pm

Jacula

I'm only glad that we in UK don't have to do a big Harvest Festival cook-up (our equivalent to Thanksgiving, or near enough) as well as the Christmas & New Year one! LOL.

6:57 pm

doxy1lover

I was actually supposed to work 12 hours today. Got to work 6. Didn't plan anything today. Hubby and I went out to eat this evening.

6:59 pm

Jacula

I've already made a vat of Irish Stew today (which should last us for a couple of days) + dinner + 3 lots of cookie dough. One lot of cookie dough is a tried and tested old favourite of ours, the other two I made up as I went along. I'll be posting the recipes in BabAnon once I know they work (or not, if not!).

7:00 pm

mab

Jacula: although i think people really do reflect on what they are thankful for, the holiday has also become a major run-up to xmas, with the Friday being the busiest shopping day of the year. So all that food consumption becomes a metaphor for commercial consumption.

7:00 pm

doxy1lover

the Irish stew sounds wonderful (even if I am full)

7:01 pm

doxy1lover

my daughter works retail. Is calling tomorrow "Black Friday"

7:01 pm

Jacula

Mab - I think you're right. Christmas seems to start in the shops in August here. At one point, one shop had Easter eggs, hot cross buns, Hallowe'en goodies AND Christmas stuff on display!!

7:02 pm

mab

Not that that's necessarily bad, in moderation.

I love stews. My ex-husband used to make a wonderful beef and orange squash stew.

7:02 pm

Jacula

Doxy - Sorry for going on about food when you're full. :-/

7:03 pm

doxy1lover

no problem, can talk about food all the time, and usually do at work

7:03 pm

speedfreak

I just like Thanksgiving because families don't get together as much anymore and this holiday seems to help w/o all the buying of presents..luckily we have a strong family unit and do all together

7:04 pm

speedfreak

Jacula: I love stews what is Irish stew??

7:04 pm

mab

doxy, how unfortunate to work today. I can relate -- used to work for psych hospital and worked most holidays.

7:05 pm

doxy1lover

work in labor and delivery. Had 2 babies born before I got there this morning, otherwise slow day.

7:06 pm

Jacula

The main topics of conversation when I used to work in an office with 20 other women seemed to be, men (either sighing over them or, for those married, sighing because of them), soap operas, food, how much money you'd need to do everything you wanted if you won the lottery and, for some strange reason, every Friday after (without fail), ess ee ex. Dunno why, but it always seems to be that way.

7:06 pm

mab

That's a good point, Speed.

7:07 pm

LeeMc

Ho Ho Hello!! see me tomorrow with 15 points!
Goodbye!!

7:07 pm

Jacula

OOPS! Meant *every Friday afternoon!

7:08 pm

doxy1lover

in my area of work, the talk always seems to get to that subject. We wouldn't have our jobs without es ee ex.

7:09 pm

Jacula

That's true, Doxy.

7:09 pm

mab

In a psych hospital everyone just talks about patients, all the time.

It sounds wonderful to work in labor and delivery.

7:10 pm

speedfreak

My husband is a police officer so he always works the holidays..now that our kids are older, he tries to take the early shift on Xmas so the fathers with little ones can be home for Santa..

7:10 pm

Jacula

Hello & goodbye, LeeMc. I'm sure you must have found more than 2 words really.

7:10 pm

doxy1lover

They were so busy on Monday, they called me twice to come in. Offered me time and a half plus $100. I felt sorry for them and went in for 5 hours.

7:11 pm

speedfreak

Jacula Don't know if you missed my question what is in Irish stew? Thank you

7:11 pm

doxy1lover

I prefer to work earlier and have the afternoon off.

7:12 pm

Jacula

Speedfreak - The contents of Irish stew differ from household to household but, essentially, it's a lamb based stew with root vegetables and dumplings. I like to add peas to mine, also.

7:12 pm

mab

doxy: it seems like if one is a nurse and is willing to put up with what nurses have to put up with, one can make quite a good living. There is such a shortage. Hmmm.. should have gone into nursing.

7:13 pm

speedfreak

That sounds delicious on a cold winter night Jacula!:)

7:13 pm

doxy1lover

not in my state. I would make $5-15 more an hour if I left Utah.

7:14 pm

Marc Freeman

I am back from Thanksgiving and I am stuffed. Hy all. I am now looking for to4/7 and to 5/12 any clues

7:14 pm

mab

That's what my ex's stew had - lamb, not beef. I do love lamb.

7:14 pm

Jacula

Speed - I do mine in the pressure cooker to speed things up. However, it still needs 2 days prepping really to taste good. You cook the lamb on day 1 and skim most of the fat off once it's quite cold, add the vegs and cook it all together the next day, and then heat up however much you want (+ the dumplings) the next day.

7:15 pm

beebee

marc,
to5/12 native americans carved them (to*** poles)

7:16 pm

Marc Freeman

Thanks beebee

7:17 pm

Jacula

Welcome back Marc. I hope you enjoyed your meal?

to4/7 (the pole clue before was the to5) - a homestead or a hillock. For the first 3 letters, think 'sticky, chewy stuff'.

7:17 pm

doxy1lover

to4/7 to + something not hard, drop the s

7:18 pm

doxy1lover

jacula, sounds wonderful

7:19 pm

Jacula

Well, re the stew, if you both have pressure cookers, I can put the recipe into BabAnon.

7:20 pm

doxy1lover

I almost always use my pressure cooker when making beef stew. Makes things go so much faster.

7:21 pm

speedfreak

I have always used my crockpot but my mother has a pressure cooker..

7:22 pm

Jacula

Apart from being warming in winter, it saves you cooking for 2 or 3 nights. Just make a vatful, like I do! Will keep in fridge for up to 5 days, so great if there are only 2 of you. When you get to the end bits (when most of the meat has gone) you can 'whoof' it up by adding a can or two of soup.

7:23 pm

MarkD57

Any help with my last 3?
me6/21
te4/6
tw4/8 - got the one like 5/18

7:24 pm

Jacula

Speed - It can be done in a crockpot. I'll make sure to put an adaption of the recipe in for you. I used to love my crockpot, especially when I worked long hours. It was very nice to come home to the comforting smell of dinner already cooking/cooked. Unfortunately, my crockpot was a casualty of my first (of 4 house floods) as it was on a low shelf. I've never got around to replacing it.

7:24 pm

doxy1lover

me6 - past tense of meet + what you did with turkey

7:25 pm

speedfreak

Thanks Jacula I would Love That!!

7:25 pm

doxy1lover

te4/6 - someone who is not a permanent worker

7:26 pm

doxy1lover

tw4 - think n** w**

7:27 pm

Jacula

Marc - tw4/8 could be either a rude word for female genitalia or it could be the other tw4/8 - 'a daft person, a silly tw**'.

7:27 pm

patact

ye 5/ 18 clues please.

7:28 pm

MarkD57

thanks for the help...all done

7:28 pm

pbr

like the movie yorba but with different vowel.

how bout ye4?

7:29 pm

Jacula

patact - look up 'rhamnus californica' for the 'ye' word.

7:29 pm

patact

ye 4--"aren't you done ye** double final

7:29 pm

doxy1lover

ye4 - think not y* + double consonants

7:30 pm

patact

Thank you!

7:30 pm

doxy1lover

congrats mark

7:30 pm

speedfreak

Well finished the puzzle...did most of it this morning before dinner...talk to you all tomorrow, going to curl up with hubby and kids to watch a movie Happy Thanksgiving to all, Happy Thursday to everyone

7:30 pm

pbr

doxy1lover--thanks, I've been working on that for far to long.

7:30 pm

Jacula

ye4/6 - another way to get this would be to think of The Abominable Snowman but get rid of the personal pronoun at the end and double up on the consonant before it.

7:31 pm

Jacula

'Bye Speed. Enjoy your evening.

7:32 pm

doxy1lover

no problem

7:32 pm

pbr

wa8??? help pls

7:33 pm

doxy1lover

wa8 - use previous wa5 + a canine

7:35 pm

shorty

thanks for the wa8 hint

7:35 pm

doxy1lover

your welcome

7:36 pm

doxy1lover

I can't take credit for that one, my hubby found it for me

7:37 pm

doxy1lover

Have a good evening all. See you tomorrow.

7:37 pm

pbr

thanks for the w8clue..who would have thot of that one?

7:37 pm

Jacula

I did get that one on my own. My parents always used to have Poodles, which are, or originally were, that type of canine. That's where the daft pom-pom clip came from. It was for buoyancy.

7:38 pm

Jacula

'Bye Doxy. Nice chatting.

7:39 pm

lianakate

hi guys!!!! Been off turkey day chomping..am stuffed!

7:40 pm

lianakate

any clues for the 7 letter words?..they seem to be giving me the most trouble..YUCK I have only one of them

7:41 pm

Jacula

Hi Kate. I'll see if I can put a set of clues together for you. Did your day go well?

Oh, which 7 have you got, btw?

7:42 pm

lianakate

the one with the AT..took me forever to find..

7:42 pm

Jacula

Oh well, Kate, at least you tried! LOL.

I'll be as quick as I can with the list.

7:42 pm

lianakate

Jac..my day was fun! Went to my boyfriends first wife's house for dinner..LOL..you gotta love the south! I really like her..

7:44 pm

lianakate

Jac..thanks for taking the time!! I just havent been able to spend much time with the puzzles lately..what with doc visits..Cat scans..and drinking their foul chalky stuff..ewwwwwwww

7:44 pm

renfield

hi lk - today - someone said tw 7/44 " all a tw*****"

7:44 pm

lianakate

Ren, thanks..got it right away with that clue!

7:46 pm

renfield

lk - you must be really brave to go to an ex's spousal units house - espically in the south.... i admire you for that -

7:46 pm

lianakate

these letters are kind of in a convoluted way today..i wouldnt have seen that..without the clue

7:47 pm

Jacula

me7/36 - No definition for it. How do I explain it? Will think and get back to you on that.

mo7/44 - 1. An opening in the earth from which carbon dioxide and other gases escape, usually marking the last stage of volcanic activity.
2. The gases escaping from such an opening.
po7/44 - derogatory name for an effiminate man. (An extension of the po4/8 above it.)

7:48 pm

lianakate

yu know, Jac..i tried all kinds of extensions on that gay man thing..i have the first four letters, ..but will try, try again..

7:49 pm

Jacula

Okay - me7/36 - Think 'French underground railway' and take out the 'r', then add a small, greend round vegetable (a legume) but reverse the 2 vowels. Hope that helps!

7:49 pm

lianakate

okay..i got the gay man extension..LOL, ty.

7:50 pm

Jacula

Kate - Glad you got the 'po' word in the end. I think it's really a UK word more than a US one.

7:50 pm

Michelle

p7, anyone help me?

7:51 pm

Jacula

Kate - if you Google my definitions for the mo7/44, you should get the answer.

7:51 pm

lianakate

I have never heard of it, Jac..just noodled away at it..I may have to google the ME words..or A2Z

7:51 pm

Jacula

Michelle. Hi. If you scroll back a little, you will see I just gave LianaKate the clue for the po7.

7:52 pm

renfield

tbear clue for po 7/44 - add last 3 letters of po 6/21 to po 4/8

7:53 pm

renfield

sorry - jacula - i had never heard of that word either - it was a surprise

7:53 pm

Jacula

Kate - re the me7/36, the small, round green veg is NOT a sprout. LOL.

7:54 pm

Michelle

Thanks, I got it!

7:56 pm

Jacula

Hi Renfield. Like I said, it's probably UK slang. You can get in to all kinds of trouble in other 'English-speaking' countries when you visit from UK. For instance, if you say you fancy 'a fag' (meaning you would like a cigarette) in US, it may well be taken in an entirely different way. Likewise in Australia, if you ask for 'Durex' (a condom here in UK) you may well be given a roll of sticky tape over there.

8:03 pm

Babbler

hi Jac (((((((( hugs !! ))))))))))))) :D
how are you, hun?

I can't get this me7.......... :/

8:04 pm

mab

Talking of 7's, I'm missing AT7, and could use a clue, please.

8:04 pm

scatty

babbler it sounds like something you throw at a bride and groom

8:06 pm

lianakate

Mab..i DO have that one..to make an at....on ones life..or to at..to do something..make a good try..double the first consonant..:)

8:06 pm

mab

Thanks so much lianakate.

8:07 pm

Marc Freeman

I am sorry I meant to4/7 and also te6/21 and 28

8:07 pm

Jacula

Hiya Babbler. )))))Hugs back(((((

Oh dear! How else can I explain that me7?

8:07 pm

mab

Was thinking of that word but couldn't see how it worked....can now!

8:07 pm

lianakate

Mab..youre very welcome..I receive LOTS of help here, and am just so glad when I can reciprocate...:)

8:09 pm

Jacula

Marc - I've given a clue a bit back (not too far) for the to4.

to6/21 - container for popular British and Indian beverage.

8:10 pm

lianakate

thanks, Jac..i found the Mo word..took awhile..BUT..I went to googe the hole in crust of earth..and learned more than I wanted to about the greenhouse effect, volcanoes...and other stuff..But..not the mo word..LOL

8:11 pm

Jacula

Marc - te6/27 (not 28)... it's a small ornamental table of Persian and Indian origin. Meant for holding the te6/21 and its accompaniments.

8:12 pm

lianakate

well, here we go with the "language barrier" again..To something to carry liquids in..Brit?..oh duh

8:12 pm

Jacula

Marc - te6/21 - is the container for the beverage, NOT 'to'. Excuse the typing error.

8:13 pm

lianakate

okay..its te not to..LOL, might as well be greek to me..

8:13 pm

Jacula

te6/21 - It is a vessel that is often covered by a te*cosy!

8:13 pm

Jacula

te6/21 - also known as a 'Brown Betty'.

8:14 pm

lianakate

brown betty..a gun?

8:14 pm

Jacula

You put your beverage into it, brew it and then pour it out. AARGH!

LOL.

8:14 pm

lianakate

lol..ty jac..LMAO

8:14 pm

Jacula

No, Kate, the gun is Big Betty, I think! LOL.

8:15 pm

DarleenMB

no language differences there, eh?

8:15 pm

shorty

haha

8:15 pm

lianakate

i need a course in British idioms..LOL

8:17 pm

lianakate

i actually got the vessel covered with a te cosy..thats what gave it to me..LOL, gawd. Simple word.."Im a little TE...., short and stout..here is my handle ..here is my spout"..

8:18 pm

Jacula

Well, Kate, if I'd known you knew that song, I'd have sung it to you! ROFLOL.:-))))))

8:19 pm

Jo

Hello all. Whew, TDay dinner out of the way! ;-)

8:20 pm

lianakate

LOL, Jac..I know my lyrics..if not my geology..(dang that MO)..i know magma..but thats it..no other holes or earthly crust manifestations..am a Polack you know..AND , blonde..(laughing)

8:20 pm

Jacula

Hi Jo. Hope you had a good day? You've arrived just in time to catch me singing a daft song to Kate.

8:20 pm

lianakate

hi jo..am stuffed more than the dang Turkey was..lol

8:21 pm

renfield

hey jo - happy turkey day -

8:21 pm

lianakate

HAHAHA..Jac..who sang to whom??????, eh???..LMAO

8:21 pm

Jacula

Or was she singing it to me? The blonde has now confused the brunette.:-(

8:21 pm

Jo

Jac ... I'm reading the log at the mo, how funny! My little neice loves that song ... "im a little te 6/21, short and ...." LOL

8:22 pm

lianakate

Ren..that is such a mysterious looking woman in the icon..

8:22 pm

Marc Freeman

Thanks all got em

8:22 pm

Jo

No turkey for me, my son's a veggie. But, WHEW, the fixins did me in! I'm stuffed like a turkey! LOL

8:22 pm

Jacula

Jo - When my kids were at playgroup a favourite song there was 'The Wheels on the Bus'. Know it?

8:22 pm

renfield

way to go marc -

8:23 pm

Jacula

Marc - Thank goodness for that! Well done, mate.

8:23 pm

Jo

oooh, yes. A classic! There is a spectacular BMW commercial right now that uses that song. A grown man signing along to that song in his car .. is it playing in the UK? Too funny ...

8:24 pm

Jo

Yea, Marc. I'm hoping to find myself in that happy place soon! ;-)

8:24 pm

lianakate

the wheels on the bus go round and round..(know my lyrics..lol)..also, how about :Little duckie duddle , went wading in a puddle.."..lol

8:24 pm

Jacula

Jo - Have you read back much, much earlier, in UK morning? When the workman was digging a hole at the end of my drive? Lotti and me had quite a funny convo about that.

8:24 pm

lianakate

ALSO.."Itsy bitsy spider when up the water spout"

8:25 pm

Jo

No, shame I missed it. I've been so in and out today....

8:25 pm

mamabear

Good evening all! Hope everyone had a happy thanksgiving!!! OOps, I forgot to take off my hat!!

8:25 pm

renfield

and the cat came back the very next day the cat came back -

8:25 pm

Jacula

Jo - not seen that ad here yet, no. Mind you, don't watch a lot ot telly (TV).

8:25 pm

Jo

LOL, Mamabear! Welcome back ..... :-)

8:25 pm

lianakate

I have suddenly slipped into my "second" childhood..I better quit while I am ahead..Although..not far from my dotage, anyhoo..

8:26 pm

Jacula

Hi Mamma.

8:26 pm

Jo

Its just great. The man is singing the song, and the car phoen rings. Its BMW telling him that the 'car told her' he needed an oil change. He said "What else did it tell you". She says "thats all" .... he's afraid she knew he was singing that silly song. The spot is quite cute...

8:27 pm

mamabear

We're singing???? Cool. Is everyone done with the puzzle? I have 4 words left... if anyone would like to have pity on a poor humble bear?

8:27 pm

renfield

hi mama - what do you need?

8:27 pm

GreyWoulf

Good evening folks -- and how are we all today?

8:28 pm

lianakate

hi mamma..bye mamma..i am having hot flashes. Gotta git outside and lie on the deck in NUDE..arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..bb l, mayhap xoxoxox to share :)

8:28 pm

Jacula

'The babies on the bus go, 'WAAH, WAAH, WAAH!'

'The mothers on the bus go, 'Natter, natter, natter.'

'The fathers on the bus go, 'GRUMP, GRUMP, GRUMP.'

Just a few of the verses our kids in the group used to add.

8:28 pm

renfield

hey gw

8:28 pm

Jo

Any hints for the TW 7?

8:28 pm

mamabear

Hi renfield!!!1 cool icon!
I need..
do 5/18
do 6/30
do 5/20 (I guess this is not my day for do's)
te 6/27

8:29 pm

Jacula

Hi Wolfie! It appears Kate is stripping off.

8:29 pm

GreyWoulf

so how did j-pop day go for Miyazi?

8:29 pm

mamabear

go get some air liana..... and try not to get arrested!
Hi GW!!!!!

8:30 pm

renfield

icon was for the j-rocker today for miya - the tw 7/44
"all a tw*****"

8:30 pm

GreyWoulf

Hi Jac -- so it would seem -- how are you doing today?

8:30 pm

Jacula

And that's another language difference between US and UK - We say hot 'flushes' over here. 'Flashes', if not to to with lightning and storms, or electrical stuff, mean strange men in nothing but raincoats who open them for their own pleasure but not other people's, over here.

8:30 pm

renfield

do 5/18 do*** ball

8:31 pm

mamabear

jacula - we have them here too - we call them Flashers! I have a joke on the subject if anyone is interested...

8:31 pm

Jo

Jac, we call those perverts in the US "flashERs" ;-)

8:31 pm

GreyWoulf

Hey MAMA -- loved the turkey humor you sent me :D

8:32 pm

Jacula

Mamma - We call them flashers here, too. LOL. Thank goodness, a language 'same'. LOL.

8:32 pm

Jo

I got a great email joke "things you can only say at thanksgiving" ... super funny.

8:32 pm

mamabear

GW - good I'm glad you enjoyed it!!!
do*** ball??????

8:32 pm

shorty

go ahead mama with ur joke

8:32 pm

shorty

and by the way HI

8:33 pm

mamabear

go ahead with yours first jo, in honor of the holiday!

8:33 pm

GreyWoulf

hi shorty!

8:33 pm

mamabear

Hi shorty *wink*

8:33 pm

Jacula

Oh Mamma, even I would get that do5/18 clue! Don't 'do***' the issue! LOL.

8:33 pm

renfield

ok how about the cars, plymouth, cryshler, do***

8:34 pm

shorty

hi greyw

8:34 pm

Jo

Here's just a few of about 16:
Talk about a huge breast!
2. Tying the legs together keeps the inside moist.
3. It's Cool Whip time!
4. If I don't undo my pants, I'll burst!
5. Whew, that's one terrific spread!

8:34 pm

Jo

Remember, the title is "Things you Can only say at Thanksgiving."

8:34 pm

GreyWoulf

ROFL, Jo ;D

8:35 pm

mamabear

ok... hit me with the turkey fish.... I knew these do's were gonna be slappers. thanks renfield. got the 6/30 one too. dare I ask about the do 5/20?

8:35 pm

Jacula

Jo - I guess that joke is about 'Things That Sound Rude At Thanksgiving'?

8:35 pm

renfield

oh jo - oh no

8:36 pm

Jo

Yes, its bad....but, in a funny way! ;-)

8:36 pm

mamabear

still want to hear the flasher joke?

8:37 pm

Jo

Absolutely, Mama! Bring it on .... ;-)

8:37 pm

Jacula

No definition for the do5 - other than that it is an extension of the do4 before it (The elected chief magistrate of the former republics of Venice and Genoa.)

However, since we've been singing, think 'How much is the do*** in the Window?' It might help.

8:39 pm

mamabear

Ok... here goes, but you can't say I didn't warn you...
A man retires in the Spring of the year and decides to spend his new found free time being a flasher on his favorite street corner. He spends a few hours every day there throughout the summer.
When the weather started to change, his friends asked him if he was going to give it up since it was getting rather chilly.
He said, "Nah, I think I'm gonna stick it out a while longer."
TADA

8:39 pm

Jo

LOL!!! Mama, that was great! .....

8:39 pm

renfield

te 6/27 is te 6/21 change the last letter to the sometimes vowel

8:40 pm

Jacula

Mamma (Sorry! Mama.) Every time I see your name I hear that Phil Collins track in my mind. Brill. song though.

8:40 pm

GreyWoulf

Mama -Aaarghh!

8:41 pm

GreyWoulf

found a thanksgiving wolf icon :)
*refresh*

8:41 pm

Jacula

But as for the joke... URGH. Worthy of being posted on my groanworthy jokes thread in BabAnon.

8:41 pm

renfield

oh mama -

8:41 pm

Babbler

hi Jac - sorry ....... my pc had a paddy and threw me out..... just as I spotted the me7 too!! :D

8:42 pm

mamabear

thank you very much Jacula & Renfield!!! I am dun, dun, dun!!!! Unlike yesterday, yesterday, yesterday.... but that's just a bad memory now.

8:42 pm

Jo

Hey, at least her's wasn't as offensive as mine! And, mine only got worse .... ;-) I liked it, Mama ... funny

8:42 pm

Babbler

*snorts* LOL Mamabear !!!!!!!!!!!!

*flies over for My Mamabear hug * :D

8:43 pm

Babbler

ooh, you finished?

bravo Mamabear !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !

8:43 pm

mab

I liked that one Mama -- made me snort.

8:43 pm

mamabear

Love it, GW!!!!! Now I need to find bears ... but I don't think bears eat turkey.
Babbler!!!!!!! *bear hugs, bear hugs, bear hugs* - did you read my joke???????
Thanks, Jacula, my joke will go down in babanon history!

8:43 pm

Jacula

1st verse of the Phil Collins song. LOL.

'I can't see you mama
but I know you're always there
ooh to touch and to feel you mama
oh I just can't keep away
it's the heat and the steam of the city
oh its got me running and I just can't brake
so say you'll help me mama
cos its getting so hard'

8:44 pm

mab

Whoa, them's some lyrics!

8:44 pm

mamabear

I love that song too, Jacula!!!! Thanks for posting lyrics!

8:44 pm

Jacula

Erm, I'm a female and that wasn't personal. LOL. The song's a great song but also funny 'cos full of double-entendres.

8:45 pm

Babbler

I saw your joke, Mama! :D made me laugh

8:46 pm

Jacula

Just looking at many of the icons, is it a Miyavi day again?

8:46 pm

GreyWoulf

MAMA - just plug "bears & thanksgiving" or "bears & turkey" into google images and see what comes up -- that's all I did to find this one

8:47 pm

mab

It's miyavi day, still. Although Miy Fan has gone.

8:47 pm

Babbler

yes Jac, Anj asked Miyavi what she'd like seeing as banana tuesday went a bit pear-shaped (seeing as her sex-ed class was postponed to the new year).

8:47 pm

GreyWoulf

then I'll put the Guitar Wolf icon back -- my bad...

8:48 pm

mab

Amidst the general merriment here, may I have a clue for IO6, please?

8:48 pm

Jacula

Mab - I should hope she has gone at this time of the night/morn. She's only 13! What was the day in aid of?

8:49 pm

mamabear

I would change my icon, but there IS only one day of the year I can wear my hat....

8:49 pm

PFH

anyone so kind as to help with fo 6/27 or po7/44??

8:49 pm

mamabear

io 6 - io + da 4/4 - meaning to go out with someone of the opposite sex, or da** and nut bread...

8:49 pm

mab

Miyavi Fan was to pick todays theme, and she picked, surprise, J-rock.

8:49 pm

Jacula

io6 - 'io' + what you panic about when you are getting ready to go on your very first one (a thing that changes every day, due to time. Or a fruit most people only eat at Christmas.)

8:50 pm

GreyWoulf

Not if we declare an appropriately related day here in Babbleonia, Mama! ;)

8:50 pm

shorty

that was very funny Mama I just saw it (I was telling my kids goodbye)

8:51 pm

mab

Thanks, Jacula.

8:51 pm

Jacula

That's true, Wolfie, as long as no one declares it a naked day and gets us taken off the air. LOL.

8:51 pm

GreyWoulf

Keep those clues coming folks! I had to stop this AM with 50 to go and just got back to the game now :)

8:52 pm

renfield

mama nearly did that last friday - she came on line w/out her fur coat - in neon no less

8:52 pm

mamabear

fo 6/27 - same as the fe above it, but throw the hoop in

8:52 pm

GreyWoulf

Jac - don't challenge me -- I'm sure I can come up with a naked theme which would work ;)

8:53 pm

mamabear

well yes, renfield, had to -it was naked Friday..

8:53 pm

Jacula

I think I remember that, Renfield. EEK!

8:54 pm

mab

Hmmmm...I think I remember da4's. I think I enjoyed them and even married someone because of them. I would like to have another before the curtain falls. Oh, dear.

8:55 pm

Jacula

Oh well, Wolfie, at least you said,'Don't challenge me,' rather than don't te5/14 me! I said that word to Lotti over the workman thing much earlier before I'd even realised it was a grid word.

8:55 pm

mamabear

po 7 - take the po 4 above it and add consonant, vowel, consonant. I saw clues earlier that said it is something that people in England use as a name for gay men

8:56 pm

GreyWoulf

po7 - rules 1, 3, 5, & 7 of the Australian Philosphers Society sketch from Monty Python --"NO po7's!"

8:58 pm

mamabear

GW - did you finish last nite?

8:58 pm

Jacula

Or, alternatively, po7 - anagram of 'footer' + shortened version of short version of taking a leak.

8:59 pm

Marc Freeman

I haven't looked at the comments for awhile but I need a clue for be5/18 please

8:59 pm

Jacula

Gawd! I've done too many cryptic crosswords over the years. I do give 'roundabout' clues, don't I? LOL.

8:59 pm

GreyWoulf

Nope! :D

I gave up at 323 -- I refused to use a2z

Besides- I had more fun chatting at that point :D

9:00 pm

Jacula

Marc - be5/18 - Think The Bible - and Adam be*** Cain & Abel. But change the 2nd vowel to make ending sound like a type of gun.

9:01 pm

katmama

i just finished my first puzzle!!! thanks so much to all of you who gave hints that helped me out! (even though you didn't know you were helping me) :)

9:01 pm

renfield

marc - kind of like torah - lineage (past tense)adam be***

9:02 pm

Jacula

That's okay KatMama. Drop in and chat with us sometime though.

9:02 pm

Babbler

bravo katmama !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!

9:02 pm

GreyWoulf

Congrats, katmama!!! Welcome to the finisher's circle!!!
:D

9:03 pm

helenary

help please with the at7/36..its got me.
That Australian reference..a very ignorant macho term for g..

9:03 pm

Babbler

any clues for the y's pls anyone? ty

9:03 pm

renfield

great going katmama

9:03 pm

Jacula

Anyway, Babbler. It's 3.02am here in UK. What's your excuse for still being up? LOL.

9:03 pm

katmama

will do! this is so addicting and i've been fearing that talking to people would make it more addictive.. ;)

9:04 pm

Babbler

LOL Jac.......... errrm, well I was out this evening and I haven't finished my puzzle........ and I really ought not to be up as I've got electricians coming tomorrow....... and errrrr.......insomnia! : )

what's your excuse then?? :D

9:04 pm

Jacula

Katmama - Talking to people will DEFINITELY get you addicted. Either get out while you still can or relax and join in the fun.

9:04 pm

renfield

babbler & jacula - how do you guys stay up so late?

9:05 pm

Babbler

renfield - I'm a chronic insomniac ... : /

9:06 pm

Jacula

Babbler - Knew you'd ask that! Errr.. workmen will be at end of srive at the crack of dawn, so I really should not still be up, but I got lots of sleep last night and I'm not tired now.... and I've been busy... and erm...

9:06 pm

katmama

*grin* jacula, i'll keep that in mind...i'm off for the night
happy thanksgiving to all!

9:06 pm

GreyWoulf

ren - I am typically up till 3 -4 AM myself on pure adrenalin sometimes trying to leave as little as possible for the evening so I can focus on chatting :)

9:07 pm

Jacula

at7/36 - to try.

9:07 pm

renfield

babbler- ye 4/5 - add double consonent

9:07 pm

helenary

how easy..thaanx Jac

9:08 pm

Marc Freeman

Jacula and renfield understand the reference but if it has the 4 value letter it would be a 5/20 rather than a 5/18 what am I missing? I know I am going to slap myself on the head when you tell me. But tell me anyway.

9:08 pm

Babbler

thx renfield : )

9:09 pm

renfield

i love staying up all night - however - it doesnt help my attitude at 5:00 AM when the alarm buzzes

9:10 pm

GreyWoulf

I hear you, ren -- I can usually only do it for a couple of days before I need to turn in early to recharge

9:10 pm

Jacula

Renfield - I never normally am tired until about 12.30 anyway. But sometimes, working from home to my own hours now, I get more sleep, then less sleep, depends. I'm lucky now that I can choose how and when my 8 hours occur. I used to survive on much less sleep when I was younger. However, past few days have been hard because 23rd November was 2nd anniversary of my Dad's death. I get kinda restless around then and can only hope that my partner in life understands that.

9:11 pm

Babbler

how are you feeling now, Jac?

9:11 pm

Marc Freeman

Renfield, my brother is a conservative Rabbi in Walnut Creek, Calif. He is retiring and they are looking for a replacement. Interested?

9:12 pm

renfield

ok marc - be 5/18 how about if you go and *** something from the fridge - you went and *** it.

9:12 pm

Smeltzdog

Happy Thanksgiving!

9:12 pm

Jacula

Babbler - still a bit restless, but I'm trying to keep busy. I'm not sure anyone but my Mom (I'm an only child) understands why though.

9:13 pm

GreyWoulf

Happy Thanksgiving, Smeltz!!

9:13 pm

renfield

it's a thought -my husand is a rebbe

9:13 pm

Marc Freeman

Sorry Renfield I am thick tonight your clue didn't help

9:14 pm

Jacula

Happy Thanksgiving to you Smeltz.

9:15 pm

mamabear

sorry... had to spin off and get the last glass of pinot grigio............. did I miss anything? Hey, Smeltzie!!! Happy Thanksgiving to ya!

9:15 pm

renfield

jacula - i followed the thoughts you were writing the other morning - you helped me to understand - my mother is in the early statges of dementia - i cried w/ you although you did not know that at the time

9:17 pm

mamabear

be 5/18 - be + an animal that has horns and climbs steep mountains, a billy **** - remove one of the vowels

9:17 pm

Babbler

It's a big deal, Jac. Your Mum probably is the only person who best understands, because you both were the closest to him. Other people can only empathise.

Renfield, I did the same.

9:18 pm

renfield

ok marc - try this
be 5/18 - 7th consonent vowel consonent

9:19 pm

Babbler

marc, when you g** this, we will pass you the obvious haddock.......... (but change the middle vowel first, yeah?)

9:19 pm

Jacula

Oh Renfield. I am so sorry I made you cry. There is, though, a kind of black humour in it all, most terrible though it is. Even my Dad saw it, before he went too far. But, when they are still at home and they come to you desperately asking you to 'take them home', it's heartbreaking and even more so, once you've had to hand over care to professionals and they rush to the wired glass doors and bang on them, and look at you. Breaks your heart a thousand times over. Sorry to be so honest and I hope your Mom's future and yours will not bring that. However, if you need to talk, seriously and funnily, then private mail me re the Babblers Anonymous ez-box.

9:20 pm

Marc Freeman

thanks, Renfield I am slapping my head. Have to leave now for awhile and will be back before closing.

9:21 pm

Jacula

Marc - We'll make sure the barmaid doesn't clear your glass away.:-)

9:22 pm

renfield

thanks jacula - you have helped me very much already - i am indebted to you.

9:22 pm

renfield

marc - we'll all be waiting for you

9:22 pm

pbr

any hints for fo6?

9:24 pm

mamabear

fo 6 - an offensive odor, or stench

9:24 pm

Jacula

Renfield - just looked at your profile and added your 'wahoo!' addy to my MSN messenger. Hopefully, that will get us in contact, if we want.

9:25 pm

renfield

fo 6/27 - enemy + foot digit - drop ending vowel add a consonent

9:27 pm

pbr

renfeld - thanks -dare i ask for fe5? I have 106 words done

9:28 pm

mamabear

GW - did you notice yet that your "first name" is in the grid? As well as my "home"?????

9:28 pm

renfield

jacula - i appreciate it very much

9:29 pm

GreyWoulf

MAMA - I actually hadn't registered it - til you pointed it out :D

9:29 pm

Babbler

to 5/ 12 and to 6/ 18 anyone pls? ty

9:30 pm

mamabear

to 5/12 - a to*** pole - an indian carving

9:31 pm

mamabear

to 6 - to sway as if about to fall down

9:31 pm

pbr

not teeter but to****

9:32 pm

Jacula

Renfield - I'm there for you, whenever you want to talk.

Bit of black humour re the Alzheimer's thing.... A man of only 9 was in the same locked ward as my Dad. We called him Marchin Man, 'cos that's all he ever seemed to do... march up and down, up and down. When his sister came to visit him, the only way she could get to spend any time with him was to link arms and march up and down, too.

My Dad, when he first got there, thought the guy was an ex-waiter, because of the way he held his right arm out in front of him, like it had a teatowel over it.

9:32 pm

9:33 pm

Jacula

*A man of only 9? I'm sure I typed 59! So, a correction to my last post here.

9:33 pm

mamabear

ye 5 - the definition is a Spanish plant.... if you don't get it from that.. remember the play Zo*** the Greek? Try that

9:33 pm

Jacula

9:36 pm

Babbler

te 6/ 27 and te 6/ 18, pls anyone ?

(I know, I'm not really trying here, am I? lol ! ) :D

9:37 pm

Jacula

Nice simple clue there, Mama (unlike mine!) That should do it!

9:37 pm

mamabear

te 6/27 - I'm a little te****, short and stout, but change the last consonant and you'll figure it out!!!

9:37 pm

Babbler

I got yours straight off from google, Jac : )

9:37 pm

GreyWoulf

Just hit me in the head with a clue by 4, why don't you?
LOL :)

9:38 pm

GreyWoulf

Bab - how many left?

9:38 pm

Babbler

46 yet to find........ how about you, GW?

9:39 pm

mamabear

9:39 pm

GreyWoulf

22 and dropping!

9:39 pm

Maru

Hello!
Any help with po 7/44?
Thanx.

9:39 pm

Jacula

te6/27 - clue already given for that earlier.

te6/18 - Think of tee***ing on the brink and then change a few letters. BTW, the word ryhmes with 'letter'.

9:39 pm

mamabear

te 6 - te + double consonant + vowel + consonant

9:40 pm

renfield

6/18 = te - i think there is a blue star oninetment that is suppose to cure this scaley skin disease (?)

9:40 pm

Babbler

lol! gottit Jac! mwah !!

and got your's too mama mwah too !

9:41 pm

Babbler

ta6/18 pls? ty : )

9:41 pm

mamabear

Hi Maru!
po 7 - take the po 4/8 above it, add consonant, vowel, consonant

9:41 pm

Jacula

Maru - Where are you from before I try to clue you up on thee po7? It's a mainly UK derogatory term for an effiminate man.

9:42 pm

renfield

ta 6/18 - i think it was said earlier that this was body art

9:42 pm

mamabear

ta 6/18 - the little short guy on Fantasy Island.... zee plane!!!! zee plane!!!!! OR, when ink is applied under the skin

9:42 pm

Jacula

Babbler - think ink under the skin!

9:42 pm

Babbler

mwah renfield : )

9:42 pm

renfield

oh yes ta 6/18 -i think gw said he has one of these

9:43 pm

Babbler

LOL mamabear !!!!!!!1 I remember that show ! :)

9:43 pm

Maru

I'm from South America and living in Atlanta (USA) rigth now. I'll try with your clue...

9:43 pm

GreyWoulf

6, actually ;)

9:43 pm

pbr

oh no, I don't have any of the TE6's.

9:43 pm

helenary

i would love a clue for m7/36!! Thankyou

9:44 pm

Maru

Thanks mamabear. I'll try with your clue too!

9:44 pm

Jacula

Don't boast, Wolfie! LOL. Have you any in painful places?

9:45 pm

Jacula

I'm told ankles and other bony places are painful for that body art stuff.

9:45 pm

mamabear

me 7 - me + not the bottom, but the *** + 2 vowels

9:46 pm

GreyWoulf

Not boasting -- they are all small, three on my arms, the others are on my chest --- Kirsten has the painful one -- a tribal band around her thigh with some other art on the outer thigh -- she knows exactly where her sciatic nerve is as a result :)

9:46 pm

Maru

I got it. Thanx Jacula. Thanx Mamabear.

9:47 pm

mamabear

te 6's:
I'm a little te****, short and stout.
Same as above, change last consonant
Rhymes with letter

9:47 pm

helenary

thank you mama..what does it mean?

9:47 pm

Jacula

Helenary - I did give the best clue I could for that earlier. It has no definition. I think I said, 'Think French underground railway and then drop the 'r', + small, rund green vegetable (a legume) but reverse the last two vowels.'

9:47 pm

GreyWoulf

Jac - that is true about ankles, et. al. -- the nerves are much closer to the surface and thus more easily irritated

9:47 pm

renfield

wolfie - always been curious about those body art things - how long do they take to heal?

9:47 pm

GreyWoulf

BTW, Jac that clue for the me7 worked beautifully for me ;)

9:48 pm

Babbler

the first po4/6, and the po5/12 at the bottom pls, anyone?
ty : )

9:49 pm

mamabear

I don't know, Helenary - that's why I gave the bizarro clue I did!

9:49 pm

renfield

po 4/6 you and **

9:50 pm

GreyWoulf

ren - everybody is different, but typically the worst is healed within about a week or so -- the key is to follow the after care instructions to the letter

9:50 pm

helenary

soo me6/21? clue and thanx to all for the great giving spitit

9:51 pm

helenary

spirit

9:51 pm

Jacula

po4/6 -A fleshy fruit, such as an apple, pear, or quince, having several seed chambers and an outer fleshy part largely derived from the hypanthium. Also called false fruit.

However, think of Pam Ayres (A UK poetaster, as some might say, but not me) and think of what she's been known to say.. 'Here's a po** wot I wrote.'

9:51 pm

renfield

po 5/12 rhymes w/ mo 5/12

9:52 pm

mamabear

me 6/21 - google this: "A stone block with a shallow concave surface, used with a mano for grinding corn or other grains."

9:53 pm

Babbler

thx renfield, but I still can't find them..... haven't got the mo5 yet either........ : /

9:53 pm

Cathy

Hi all ... Happy Thanksgiving

9:53 pm

Jacula

me6/21 - or add the French word for tea before your ta4/4.

9:53 pm

mamabear

I thought about getting a "body art" on my ankle.. but then once the fur grows back, nobody would see it!

9:54 pm

mamabear

Hi Cathy! Happy Thanksgiving to you too!

9:54 pm

Babbler

thx Jac, gettit now...........

soz Ren, just slap me with the obvious fish! : )

9:55 pm

renfield

ok - hmmmm you and i work the words backwards - ok -
po 5/12 po+ double cosonent + vowel ( i think anj says its a loop on the end?)

9:55 pm

GreyWoulf

Hi Cathy!

MAMA - but if you did it for yourself -- you would know it is there, and that should be all the reason you truly need

9:55 pm

Jacula

That would be true. Mama. But being a bear must be the best! You eat all you want all warm times and get fat, then you sleep away the cold times and wake up thin again. BRILL!

9:55 pm

mamabear

Babbler - google this for your mo 5:
"A polyphonic composition based on a sacred text and usually sung without accompaniment."

9:56 pm

mamabear

True Jac... but I have to scratch my back on trees!

9:56 pm

Babbler

thx mamabear

thx ren - I couldn't see how it fit, but it did! :)

9:57 pm

Babbler

hi Cathy

9:57 pm

Jacula

Nowt wrong with that, Mama, unless you're wearing a pale top and it gets all green stuff on it!

9:57 pm

renfield

hi cathy - happy t day

9:58 pm

GreyWoulf

Jac - that is a downside I never would have come up with!
lol

9:59 pm

Cathy

trying to catch up on the conversation here, and it's quite an interesting combination -- body art to what it's like being a bear ... looks like an interesting discussion :)

9:59 pm

circe

hmm. last word for me is wa 8
does anyone have a clue to share??

9:59 pm

mamabear

Yeah, Cathy, we get pretty deep!

10:00 pm

Jacula

Well, Wolfie, the wasdhing side of things isd not something I'd expect a red-blooded Alpha wolf to think of. LOL.

10:00 pm

GreyWoulf

Never a dull moment in Babbleonia when we're around!
;D

10:00 pm

mamabear

wa 8 - clear liquid running from your faucet.. + canine

10:00 pm

Schroeder

Happy Thanksgiving all, 8pm company just left time to babble.....Mamabear I have a real bear(s) that comes through my yard nightly.

10:00 pm

Cathy

10:01 pm

circe

I wouldn't have ever seen that! :)
all done - hope everyone had a great turkey day.

10:01 pm

mamabear

Hi Schroeder!!!!! A REAL bear????/ Be still my heart!!!

10:01 pm

GreyWoulf

Actually, I am in charge of laundry in my household, Jac -- I do a better job of folding than Kirsten :)

10:01 pm

Jacula

wa8 - think poodle or other canine who retrieves ducks shot down over aqua.

10:02 pm

helenary

mama..when you say google it..how does that work? do I put the quotation marks in as well, ot is there a google site for putting in quotes.??? Still cannot find the me6/21 even with Jac's clue!!

10:02 pm

GreyWoulf

Hey Schroeder!

10:02 pm

mamabear

you're welcome circe! I wouldn't have found it on my own either!

10:02 pm

mamabear

helenary - copy and paste the clue including quotation marks into the google search box.

10:03 pm

renfield

hey shro - did you make to macy's parade

10:03 pm

Jacula

Wolfie, I know you're a capable man, just like mine. But I wouldn't mind betting you'd become cavemanlike again should it be your missus up on her until this hour rather than yourself? (It's 4.03am in UK, btw.)

10:03 pm

Schroeder

Yes mamabear he enjoys my apple trees very much, I also have coyote, couger, fox, deer, racoons and almost any other wildlife you can think of..

10:03 pm

mamabear

me 6/21 - do you have the me 4/5 above it? add a consonant and vowel to it

10:04 pm

renfield

helenary - here is the google address - http://www.google.com/

10:04 pm

mamabear

Schroeder - that is awesome! Can I come live with you? I'm no trouble, really!!!

10:05 pm

Jacula

Mama! You really must stop trying to move in with folks and/or marry them! LOL.

10:05 pm

helenary

got it!!! Ta

10:06 pm

Schroeder

renfield, say some of it on TV, I am on the wrong coast to see it in person....I am trying to perform in it next year but I was told I was to old....(that went over real well)
Hi GW *big hug*

10:06 pm

mamabear

Jacula, whatchoo talkin' about, Willis???/ This is the first time....

10:06 pm

Jacula

Oh, I really must get out of my cryptic clue head and learn to give simple clues. AAARGH!

10:07 pm

Schroeder

Come on over Mamabear on the next plane...plenty of room on the ponderosa....

10:07 pm

Jacula

Is it Mama? I must have been mistaken then. Please excuse me for interrupting a Boby Goldsboro' moment. LOL.

10:08 pm

GreyWoulf

Jac - don't change -- we love just the way you are!
As for becomong cavemanlike - I'm sure I understand your meaning...

10:08 pm

Jacula

Wolfie - you mean I amuse you all by being a 'pratess'? LOL.

10:08 pm

GreyWoulf

oops, I'm sure I DON'T understand...

10:09 pm

renfield

no don't change jacular - you are fantastic - you make us think

10:09 pm

Cathy

Jac -- I like cryptic, makes life interesting :)

10:11 pm

Babbler

I love your clues, Jac ! :D

(btw - got fa4/8 and fa6/27 for me, pretty pls?) : )

10:11 pm

Jacula

First few (yea, more!) lines of the Bobby Goldsboro song, Summer, The First Time:

'It was a hot afternoon
Last day of June
And the sun was a demon
The clouds were afraid
One-ten in the shade
And the pavement was steaming
I told Billy-Ray
In his red Chevrolet
I needed time for some thinking
I was just walking by
When I looked in her eye
And I swore it was winking
She was 31 and I was 17
I knew nothing about love
She knew everything
And I sat down beside her on the front porch swing
And wondered what the coming night would bring
The sun closed her eyes
As it climbed in the sky
And it started to swelter
The sweat trickled down the front of her gown
And I thought it would melt her
She threw back her hair
Like I wasn't there
And she sipped on a julep
Her shoulders were bare
And I tried not to stare
When I looked at her two lips...'

10:11 pm

renfield

sorry shro - i must have zoned out

10:11 pm

artlady

Hi all!

10:12 pm

Babbler

hi artlady : )

10:12 pm

Schroeder

Hi artlady!

10:12 pm

GreyWoulf

Hi there, artlady!

10:12 pm

Cathy

hi artlady !

10:12 pm

renfield

hi art lady

10:12 pm

Jacula

BH, Artlady! What are you doing here at this time of the morn?

10:13 pm

Schroeder

Lol renfield, so much adult beverages today I'm living in the zone....

10:14 pm

artlady

Ha ha, it's only 10 pm....managed to sneak in a puzzle between company and dinner...

10:14 pm

Jacula

Wolfie - 'pratess' - female version of 'prat' - UK sland for male (mostly) idiot.

10:15 pm

Jacula

Artlady - my apologies. For some reason I'd started to think you were a UK not a US resident.

10:15 pm

renfield

circe - did anyone answer your wa 8? aqua + canine

10:16 pm

Babbler

fa4/8 and fa6/27, anyone, pls? ty : )

10:16 pm

GreyWoulf

Jac - I would never consider you a prat for any reason-- I consider you to be an exemplar of the standard Babble player -- you are intelligent, witty, and capable of recognising the humor in your mistakes

10:17 pm

Jacula

But, even if I hadn't... no excuses for me asking another person why they are up (or not) ast a certain time of the night or morn. I should not do that, since it's one of the 'net policing' things that annoys ME most!

10:18 pm

Marc Freeman

Hi I am back, any clues for oa5/10 and of5/16

10:18 pm

Cathy

Babbler - not sure of the fa 4, but the fa 6 is what I feel after that big Thanksgiving dinner (aka, heavier)

10:18 pm

GreyWoulf

Jac - BTW, the oops before was not re the pratess comment, but the caveman comment prior :)
I am actually fairly up on Brit slang due to my love of Britcoms ;D

10:19 pm

renfield

lshult

Being a bloke I could never admit to that. But I did once see him (solo) live in concert. (Hammersmith Odean I think). He is still a bit of an iconic hero to me (but don't tell anyone). Still get shivers listening to some of his music..

10:35 pm

Jacula

BASH! bASH! bash!

Phew! I posted a word to Lotti much,much earlier on in the log. I had no idea until someone else giggled and pointed it it (not directly) to me.

10:35 pm

Babbler

I've got the first BE word, but the other are eluding me. Any help pls? : )

10:36 pm

GreyWoulf

10:36 pm

artlady

*sniff* Thank you for the support Jac. Mama, how COULD you...? We cheered the Sox on together in the World Series...*sniff*
;-)

10:37 pm

Jacula

*Jac., sorry that Mama thought she was yelling at her, giggles watching Wolfie do a 'Dad Dance'.

10:37 pm

Marc Freeman

Mamabear, the of... you can't refuse clue can't figure what you mean by 3rd constanant in the first 4 letters there are only two constanants and when I add the nearest 2 value letter it doesn't work. Can you give me a simpler clue?

10:37 pm

mab

Last word. RO5 --- may I have clue please?

10:37 pm

Babbler

ooh, found the one that goes after ice be**

10:37 pm

GreyWoulf

artlady - sorry to hear about the bad memories, but not to worry, I have been there before
(twice actually -- don't know how...)

Besides, as long as I get the message I don't care what you call me ;D

10:38 pm

artlady

Take your first r4 and double a consonant...

10:38 pm

Schroeder

*hands artlady a tissue* It's oka we have all done it

10:38 pm

Babbler

marc, think of another word for 'regularly', as in "I of*** go the shops on a Saturday". Change the last letter for another consonant

10:39 pm

artlady

No problem, Gr4/8Woulf, just joking... ;-)

10:39 pm

renfield

ro 5/10 drop the last vowel from ro 4/4 add a consonet & a new vowel

10:39 pm

artlady

Thank you, Schroeder.
Cute kitten!

10:39 pm

Jacula

ro5- Think Shakespeare...'Something in this state is ro****.' Change last consonant for 2nd vowel.

Incidentally, since this has benn misunderstood on her before now, vowels are A,E,I,O,U.

10:46 pm

Jacula

Ah, the Queen reference I can understand. ANyone see Brian May playing his electric guitar in Queen's version (for Freddie) of God Save The Queen' atop Buckingham Palace. Magic! Even EIIR thought so!

10:48 pm

GreyWoulf

artlady - you just reminded me of an anecdote that I just read in Bennet Cerf's "The Life of the Party"

(I love reading his stuff -- it's a great snapshot of US social mores in the first half of the 20th century ;) )

10:48 pm

Schroeder

Mamabear thanks for the offer, to many to choose from...

10:48 pm

Jera

artlady

10:50 pm

Jacula

Ishult - I saw them about 4 times, back in 70s, when they were a rising group. It WAS 'A Kind Of Magic'!

10:51 pm

Jera

Thank you!

Sorry not chatty cold in computer room... no heat...

10:51 pm

mamabear

This guy will have to do for now... shows how I feel at the moment...

10:52 pm

GreyWoulf

It's about Texans - so hopefully, no one will take offense, but here it is --

'John Henry Faulk once roomed with a Texan who was deeply religious - but lazy as they come, He had a prayer framed right over his bed, so every night he could slide blissfully between the sheets, point to the prayer, and say, "Yep, them's my sentiments." '

10:52 pm

Marc Freeman

Any clues on fa5/16 and fo6/27?

10:52 pm

Jacula

Jera - get yourself one of those electric oscillating heaters then, if there's no radiator where your comp is!

10:52 pm

lshult

my sister also saw them many times in '70's. She's the one that treated her little brother. Still in her debt

10:53 pm

Jacula

10:54 pm

mamabear

marc - do you mean fE 5/16?

10:54 pm

GreyWoulf

Jera - Merry Meet! -- what's the temp by you?
It's around 22 by me, before the wind is factored in -- then it drops to under 10

BRRRRR!

10:54 pm

GreyWoulf

Go, Marc, Go!

10:55 pm

mamabear

Jera - I can understand.... the heat hasn't been on in my work for the last 2 weeks... hope it's on tomorrow, the wind chill is below zero here.

10:55 pm

Jacula

marc - fe5/16 has same meaning as the fe6 you asked for. Think 'fe' + hilltop.

10:56 pm

mamabear

fe 5/16 - fe + you have 5 of them on the end of your foot, but change the last letter to a consonant

10:56 pm

Marc Freeman

yes mama and fo6/27

10:57 pm

mamabear

fo 6 - enemy + same last three letters as the fe 5

10:57 pm

Babbler

mamabear

I'm gonna have to see if I can scan in a pic of my 2 doggies .....

10:59 pm

Jacula

te6/21 - small ornamental table to hold tea-making equipment. Persian/Indian word. Sounds a bit lke the UK thing that is covered by a cosy to brew it but has the 25th letter of the alphabet as the last letter and the third vowel as the penultimate letter.

10:59 pm

artlady

She's cute and incredibly badly behaved. Repeated beginning doggie obedience class 3 times....I don't think she passed...

Babbler

GreyWoulf

Jac - my daughter absolutely loves the Badgers -- everyday she will point to the computer, wave her arms and start chanting - 'Badger, badger, badger?'

11:03 pm

Jacula

Wolfie! I'm sure she doesn't mean those kind of mushrooms! (They grow locally, btw, LOL.) Shame I'm not nterested in telling anyone where to pick 'em. P's my Ohter Half off no end, does that. LOL.

11:15 pm

Jacula

Wolfie - sorry for delay replying. I'd just gone off to view the badgers again. At times, I think I was far more linked to that site than my daughter was, when her lst longterm chap was. Oh dear! Both of us are probably nuts, but never mind!

I'll have a fresh drink waiting for you babbler....

11:24 pm

renfield

11:24 pm

mamabear

Schroeder - I hope Smeltzie logs on sometime tomorrow - he will love your icon!

11:24 pm

Jacula

I did remove them Wolfie, but still couldn't get there. However, I added a few magic touches of my own and did get to view it. I still prefer the original though! The only thing that comes near to it, even with the badger originals, is the Africa one.

11:25 pm

GreyWoulf

I have to work tomorrow myself... at least Lencrafter's doesn't subscribe to the whole extended hours just cos it's the holidays -- so I get to maintain a normal sleep and family routine :D

11:25 pm

Schroeder

Bye renfield....

11:25 pm

mamabear

g'nite renfield - thanks for the help earlier! have a good nite.

11:26 pm

GreyWoulf

I agree with you, Jac -- but seeing Ron wiggle instead of the mushroom just totally appeals to me for some reason :)

And of course, my daughter loves it, too

11:27 pm

GreyWoulf

G'nite renfield!

11:27 pm

Schroeder

I have a better one on my other computer...I'm being lazy right now on my laptop in bed so this is the best I could do

11:30 pm

mamabear

In the battle between Babble and Pain, they are running "neck & neck".... ha. Actually Pain is winning ... g'nite all!

11:30 pm

GreyWoulf

So I have to ask - am I the only one who thinks that if you plan to get together at a friends for Thanksgiving dinner, they should treat it as something other than a normal get together night?

11:31 pm

GreyWoulf

Sorry to hear about the pain, Mama!
Get a good nights sleep, we'll see you tomorrow!
(*neck rub and HUG*)

11:31 pm

mamabear

Thanks GW *wink & hug back*

or4
An annual calendar containing instructions for the Mass and office to be celebrated on each day of the year

11:37 pm

GreyWoulf

The reason I post my query -- Kirsten cooked the turkey and the pies for dessert and we dressed up in nice outfits, to go over and share the holiday with our friends -- they provided all the other dishes.

Once we got there, they were dressed in their standard casual clothes - he was in black jeans and a t-shirt - and kept leaving us to go do things on the computer -- I handled primary baby supervision due to the pregnancy (np there), but until I turned on the TV I had nothing to do - there was no real convo of note or anything -- it was a very underwhelming experience :(

11:38 pm

Jacula

Aix - there was no break for me. But thank you for explaining the word. I did not know that, even though I completed this grid many hours ago.

11:39 pm

helenary

thats a funny one..thanx jac

11:45 pm

Schroeder

Oh Smeltz we are almost twins today...your going to make me get out of bed and go to my other computer and find my other icon huh...

11:45 pm

GreyWoulf

Schroeder - thanks for the offer -- when I actually have the money I will consider taking you up on it :)
I've never been to CA and I have to admit that I am the kind of person who would love to actually meet my fellow Babblers face to face -- I think it would be very interesting to get a few of us together in the same place ;)

11:46 pm

LeslieAnn

the ye 6?

11:46 pm

Smeltzdog

What do I see here? Do I have a Smeltzie wannabee?

11:47 pm

Schroeder

GW the offer will always be open, I have 13 beautiful acres in the Sierras, indoor pool for the summer months and lots of toys for the winter months when and if we ever see snow (beginning to wonder this year)

11:48 pm

Jera

last word & its a stupid do4/5... help!

11:48 pm

GreyWoulf

ye4 - ends in a double consonant

LeslieAnn

Schroeder

Oh Smeltz, no one could ever be like you :)
Your icon looks just like my 2 pups laying at my feet right now....

11:50 pm

GreyWoulf

Jera - do you have the one that sounds like one of Pinky's exclamations (from Pinky and the Brain-- "Narf! P***!")

11:50 pm

helenary

11:50 pm

renfield

yea - get to come back for a while

11:55 pm

GreyWoulf

nava - no ye6, just ye5 and 4

11:56 pm

GreyWoulf

ye4 - ends in a double consonant
ye5 - 1st three letters are a variant spelling of your, last 2 are the sound a sheep makes

11:56 pm

Jacula

Wolfie - not sure at the moment. Just peed off, I think, Don't need that right now. I'd had a laid back day. Made sure of that. Maybe other half resented that? Who knows?

11:56 pm

helenary

11:58 pm

Jacula

11:58 pm

GreyWoulf

Jac - then just breathe deep and let it go for now
No other reall choice then to let it fester and that's no good

11:59 pm

renfield

i didn't even get 300 yesterday - started after 8 PM - that was serious stuff

11:59 pm

GreyWoulf

let it go or let it fester

easy choice to me, LOL

11:59 pm

Schroeder

I bet I did worse Smeltzie....*toast to the none finishers*

12:00 am

Jacula

Oh, now I think about it, it sounds more like the last part of a word for adept at doing something, or the French word for 'left' as opposed to 'right'.

12:00 am

GreyWoulf

(*toast*)

12:00 am

helenary

I have 8 to finish and this is the best I have done..and thank you friends for the clues
