Jacula
Hello again! What I really didn't need right now is the track in my headphones! Just put freee CD from lat Sunday's paper into drive and have got Village People's YMCA playing. What the f*ck has that to do with Christmas??? And, yes, I censored my own word on here!
12:04 am
GreyWoulf

12:06 am
GreyWoulf
Schroeder - why wasn't it there on the naughty board from a few days ago? (*giggles*)
12:07 am
brandyjack
I remember seeing it? Maybe it was one of the ones you missed?
12:08 am
GreyWoulf
Or maybe I have spent way too much time playing this game and not enough time sleeping so my memory is faulty, brandyjack :D
12:08 am
Jacula
The Boxtops - Build Me Up Buttrcup is on now. Quite appropriate really, but nowt to do with Xmas, and neither is the track coming on now... When Will I see You Again? - 3 Degrees. I'll forgive 'em for that one though, brings back happy memories, believe it or not. LOL.
12:09 am
Jacula
BJ - Are you being cheeky again? LOL.
12:10 am
LeslieAnn

LeslieAnn

12:11 am
Jacula
'W Are Family' Sister Sledge. next track on that cd. Again, I must ask, what has that to do with Xmas??
12:11 am
brandyjack
That's ok, the q5/16 makes up for it
12:11 am
Schroeder
Hee Hee Hee, I tried that one also LeslieAnn
12:12 am
Jacula
Not even looked at grid yet! But that's just me, a rebel at heart. LOL.
12:12 am
renfield
looks like the qc dept failed on labeling
12:12 am
GreyWoulf
Jac - does it say it's a Xmas mix? If so, someone deserves to lose their job
12:13 am
Jacula
It's called 'The Mega Christmas Album'.
12:13 am
Jacula
Let's Dance - Chris Montez is on now.
12:14 am

12:16 am
Schroeder
Hi Sprite!!!
12:16 am
Jacula
There is NOTHING Christmassey on 1st disc - even that bloody Gloria Gaynor track, the 'I will SURVIVE' on is on there. I can only think the first cd is meant to get drunken folk of all ages up on the dance floor? 2nd disc, which we get next Sunday, looks more promising...
12:16 am
GreyWoulf
oops - meant G'nite to Babbler -- your dogs are very similar to this sleep depped woulf!
12:17 am
renfield
wait gw - babbler's the little blonde - i'm the big blonde puppster
12:17 am
brandyjack
It was free. Got what you paid for I think. Personally, I consider it better than all those nauseating things we are hearing now. It wouldn't be so bad if the selection wasn't so dratted limited..........
12:18 am
sprite
Sweet, manageble grid :)
12:18 am
GreyWoulf
sprite - how have you been? missed you the past couple :)
12:19 am
Schroeder
Do all blonds look alike to GW?
12:19 am
sprite
Lol Woulf, that's sweet of you. I have been working and had to postpone babble till after working hours. But that happens every week on my working days, so don't worry ;)
12:20 am
GreyWoulf
Only when I'm tired -- truth be told I prefer darker hair...
12:20 am
Jacula
I'm a brunette, so dunno! LOL.
12:21 am
sprite
Jacula, you look like a deep blackhaired lady to me ;)
12:21 am
Schroeder
Me too Jac....

12:23 am
Jacula

Hi lotti!
12:25 am
lottijw
Hey Sprite....you lost the banana then!!!! No Torgone yesterday :(
12:25 am
GreyWoulf
But, when it comes right down to it, physical attributes any kind are only meaningful if you are only looking. :)
I have gotten in trouble in the past because I was so caught up in the personality of the person I was with, that I had no clue what colour her hair or eyes were! :D
12:25 am
Jacula
Hiya Lotti! Yes, I let him get away this time. Mind you, if he stasrts again in a couple of hours it may be a different story. 'Brothers Grimm' eat your hearts out! LOL.
12:26 am
sprite
R8/50 is probably already been mentioned, but isn't it funny how this word comes back so soon?
12:26 am
sprite
Errr.... R8/45 I mean.
Still not totally awake.

12:30 am
Jacula
Oh:-( Next track is one my Mu would like, Tom Jones, She's A Lady.
12:30 am
Schroeder
*giggles even harder, falls out of bed * brandyjack you had to make me find that....
12:31 am
Jacula
Jac wonders if she's the only one who has not even glanced at the grid yet, even after committing it to paper?
12:33 am
GreyWoulf
Jac - it's tough to DJ and word hunt at the same time ;)
12:33 am
torgone
Slept in this morning, and had chef and her boyfriend over. Between them and my other two, I cannot get on the computer sometimes. Anyway, It was a lovely day..

Schroeder
Hi Blaze

GreyWoulf
Hi Blaze!
I'm dancing too, looking the utter fool but not caring!
12:35 am
Jacula
Schroeder - what would you like to dance to next? I see my other half has emptied a bottle of wine down the sink, since he was peed off at me for not getting him up on time. *Sigh*
12:36 am
lottijw
BJ do you mean her in the top right corner?????
12:36 am
brandyjack
Yes, i do.
12:36 am
renfield

Blaze
The fog has lifted here outside anyway
12:37 am
Schroeder

12:38 am
GreyWoulf
Jac - I think it's called the 'rhythm of the board' ;)
12:39 am
brandyjack
But I might have been talking about the s8/45. She is also in the top right corner.......
12:39 am
Jacula
Schroeder - It's Deep Purple, Strange Kinda Woman, so you'll have to head-bang and hope it doesn't send you dizzy these days. Sorry! Was 1st cd I picked out. And thanks for the wine.
12:39 am
torgone
Thanks for the card, luv!
((XX))((XX))((XX))

C8/50-9/66
C7/44
N8/45
R7/28, R7/32

12:45 am
lottijw
Knew you would!!!! Sounds like BJ`s a similar kind of guy!!!
12:45 am
sprite
I must admit I didn't check the entire log, Woulf... too busy finding new ones ;)
This is a nice grid! I like the E6/18 (for no other reason than that it is such a nice word to look at, so round and vowely in contrast to its meaning)
12:45 am
Jacula
If you had long wild hair and wore leattherand studs in those days, people kinda stood back from you and watched in awe. ROFLOL.
Next track up - Hendrix - Voodoo Chile. I hope you all know that one well enough to do to cool head bang to!
12:46 am
renfield
we're howling now
12:47 am
lottijw
Torgone.....grab your towel babe, it`s shower time in 10 mins ;o)
12:47 am

1:04 am
renfield

1:04 am
Jacula
By the way, folks. Don't think I've told you lot this, but I have told my family. My fave track of all time is Lynyrd Skynryd's 'Freebird', LIVE VERSION. So, should I die unexpectedly, I expect to be sent out to that song.
1:04 am
Schroeder
Wow Sprite, great job
1:06 am
Schroeder
Don't worry Jacula, I will play it non-stop for you....and dance...

1:14 am
Jacula
'Bye for now Sprite. Enmjoy the day.
1:16 am
Jacula
I've skipped Fanfare For The Common Man by ELP, and now we're on to Radar Love by Golden Earring. This IS a song my other half knows about. He should text me soon, I hope.
1:17 am
Schroeder
Jacula I'm sure he will...
1:18 am
GreyWoulf
Fanfare is a bit too long for right now, Jac tho I do love ELP -- Pirates is one of my favorite songs by them
1:19 am
Jacula
Have to say that last band's singer was bloody sexy when I saw him back in 70s. He was sweating so much he flicked it onto all of us girls in front row. I said 'PHWOAR' then. Would prob. say 'YUCK!' now, but never mind! LOL.
1:21 am
Jacula
(Was talking about Golden Earring there, btw. Ever so sorry for turning this into a music site. But it is my first love, then words...'
1:22 am
Jacula
Wolfie - got Rocky Mountain by Joe Walsh on now - not a short track!
1:22 am
renfield
ok by me - when it's a song i know - i'll sing / dance along -
1:23 am
Schroeder
That's okay Jacula I'm the same way, time doesn't permit me to do both a lot. Listen to different types of music at the studio but only in measures of 8
1:23 am
GreyWoulf
Excellent - I need the boost to keep me up, eyes getting heavy...
1:24 am
Jacula
I can't help my fascnation with watching guitarists play! How do you think I ended up married in the 1st place ? LOL.

1:31 am
renfield

1:32 am
GreyWoulf
OK, I have to go to bed -- my brain just froze on the def for the 1st he4 -- I won't be able to find much more until I get some rest
I going to give it five more mins and then go to sleep

1:33 am
Jacula
Renfielld - don't just trust me... LISTEN to the track.

1:34 am
renfield

1:35 am
Jacula
Wolfie, you go to bed, luv. Try doing what I do and don't even look at the grid until you're in the right mood to do so. I'm in a music mood now. Rod's singing in my headphones and I want no more! LOL.

Got Rod Stewart in my headphones now, doing, in my opinion, a far better version of 'Cigarettes & Alcohol' than Oasis did. At least he's still alive and kicking! Which reminds me... is my greatest and only football idol of all time stilll with us? Oh Georgie! Why did ya do it? But bless you and keep you anyway.xxxxxxx

Poor Old Grandad, Rod Stewart playing now - In other words, 'Ooh, la, la'. I was really upset when the olest veteran from WWI died this week. And I thank him for all he did for us, even though many of us do not seem to appreciate what he did,
2:12 am
lottijw
Now Torgone I can be your sl4/5 for a few more minutes!!!

lottijw
Mother avert your eyes!!!!!!
Are you hanging around Torgone, cos i`ll be back in approx 30 mins!??
2:16 am
Jacula
Mac - you and I need to avert our eyes, I think. Mothers really do not want to know what their daughters are getting up to!
2:16 am
torgone
Can't guarantee I'll still be around, hon. It's well past my bedtime now..
2:18 am
lottijw

Mwah, mwah, mwah!!!!! xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
2:19 am
macadam
True Jacula. Eyes now averted.
2:19 am
Jacula
Mac - we really MUST avert now! Torg's not sure of being back and so Lotti's got to get all the stops out! We don't wanna see that, do we? I mean, I've got Rod's 'Rocks' in my headphones... Get yer rocks offf, get yer rocks off, honey , etc...' Need I say more?
2:19 am
macadam
You didn`t say I had to cover the ears too!
2:20 am
torgone

That may just get me through the night . . .
2:20 am
lottijw
Mum, you have far from the quietest daughter in the world!!!!
2:21 am
Jacula
Superstar's on now. 'What do I do now, Baby?' We may not need to put earplugs in for that, but maybe we should.
2:21 am
macadam
I`ve just got to My Guy.(little did mary wells know)
2:22 am
macadam
Splutter .cough,choke-------Who`s that then?
2:23 am

2:23 am
lottijw
Who`s who????? I think you may have miss read it!!!!
2:24 am
lottijw
*Lotti and Torgone begin to move away slowly*

2:30 am
Jacula
DJ plays a Rod song -
Secret heart, what are made of
What are you so afraid of
Could it be three simple words
Or the fear of being overheard
What's wrong
Let her in your secret heart
Secret Heart, why so mysterious
Why so sacred, why so serious
Maybe you're just acting tough
Maybe you're just not bad enough
What's wrong
(1) Let her in on your secret heart
This very secret
You're trying to conceal
is the very same one
You're dying to reveal...'
2:31 am
Jacula
(That was only part of a Rod song, btw.)
2:33 am
lottijw
See you later hun xxxx
Ttfn everyone i`ll be back soon!!
2:34 am
macadam
Time for me to get organised for work .See you later .Keep singing Jacula,I`ve enjoyed it.Lovely morning so far.I hope the snow stays away.
2:50 am
Jacula
Normal folks' waking up time now! Nearly 9am.
2:54 am
Jacula
And as for Jacula? If she was the so-called 'Norm' she'd nevdr have been given her nickname, would she? She's fallen deep into a dark pit. Perhaps she should be left there. Life's chucked a lot at her, but the collapse (maybe) of her swan song at love... yea, well. It happens. Bye folks. Nice talking to all of you but I think I've made enough of a fool of myself now.
3:00 am
Jacula
Incidentally, if you want to know what's on the juke box now, it's Glenn Miller's 'In The Mood', soon to be followed by Moonlight Serenade and American Patrol. Don't ask 'why', just listen and DANCE. (Properly!)
3:06 am
helenary
Jac..i am a shrink..need to talk??
3:06 am
micamonkey
buenos dia :)
3:11 am
Jacula
Helenary - I don't know, Do I? Those songs have always got to m to make me talk, dance and cry since I was 3 or 4 year's-old. My parents just said I'd been 'born again too soon'. Maybe I am I nutter? H - mail me through the BabAnon ez-box if you want to talk to me privately. Wouldn't blame you if you didn't though! LOL.
3:12 am
helenary
how would I do that Jac?? i.e. email you..most happy to do so.
3:14 am
Jacula
Helenary - through Babblers Anonymous. If you join up there you can private message me through the ez-box. Not even I am mad enough to post my e-mail address on the net for all to see.
3:14 am
lottijw
I`m back Jac!!!
Hi Helenary, hi Mica :)
Jac`s been singing and dancing for hours !!!
3:16 am
Jacula
Hiya Lotti. Don't think I' quite totally mad yetm but ther againm in today's terms maybe I am?
3:16 am
helenary
I agree..no posting emails!
I will try and follow those instructions but not at all sure I will get there. I looked at BabAnon and got a bit stuck after that.
3:18 am
Jacula
Lotti - is it possible you're old enough to just prance about on the dance floor to Glenn Miller Band's American Patrol?
3:18 am
lottijw
Jac i don`t care how mad or not you are....you`re still a star to me and provide excellent entertainment!!!!!
Have the village idiots started digging again yet????
3:20 am
Jacula
Loti - Not as far as I know yet, love. But then I don't seem to know much, do I? And thanks for the stuff you said. That's the thing about humour, you see. The funniest humour is always the personal stuff.
3:21 am
lottijw
Macadam loves Glenn Miller so yes i can prance about with you, but my jiving was never up to much!!!!
3:21 am
helenary
please!! nobody has used the word mad..thats a crazy thing to say!!
3:22 am
helenary
sorry I will butt out. All is well.
3:24 am
Jacula
Lotti - my jiving in myhy head is absolutely brilliant. Unfortunately, it only sends its brilliance to my right side and not my left. So, not a great jiver either! Those I wish!
3:26 am
lottijw
I wish i was good at it too, Macadam is brilliant at jiving. She`s jazz and big band mad too!!! She`s also crazy about " ol blue eyes" :)
3:27 am
Jacula
Helenary - you don't need to do that. My 2 kids often tell me I need 'a shrink'. Bear in mind that my daughter (who spent over 2 years in a psychiatic ward, might know that) and who knows, after all that crap she may well be right, after all, the first thing they tell the kid to do is 'BLAME MOM!' Not meant nastily to you, but it is true, and I'm sure you know that.
3:33 am
helenary
don't be sour..mums have mums too and we all have shadows and stuff, and even shrinks have to deal with their stuff
3:34 am
Jacula
Lotti - if someone was right in front of me right now, and it was you, you'd get one of those big blue Batchelor's soup furry arms hugs, you know?
3:35 am
lottijw
Oh babe you`re wonderful (((((((((((((HUGS))))))))))))) ))
3:38 am
Jacula
Helenary - I'm sorry, Didn't mean to be sour but, hey,in one breath you're offering to maybe counsel me nd when talk about rhw'Mum' thing, you suddenly get all uppity? I DO understand, believe it or not. We saw enough shrinks who had had enough and needed a hug themselves in the years |(not jusdt those 2 I mentioned) to know psychiatrists etc., are only human! Blinking heck, girl! I'm not a moron! Neither are you!
3:41 am
Jacula
Can I text him now? Should I?
3:41 am
helenary
I feel a shit for sticking my neck out. Would love to talk to you but I have not joined BaAnon or whatever. I just come in and out of the game when i have a bit of time. I acutally enjoy all aspects of the game. I am not sure what to do to be more involved in the chat etc I will take any suggestions. You guys do have a lot of fun with it all and I enjoy the process.
3:42 am
lottijw
No Jac make him sweat....... 69 will crack before you do !!!! ;)
3:42 am
Jacula
Oh for F's sake! Can you lot all kepng a low profile please jsut get in here? It might make thing more normal!
3:43 am
Haz1558
We were too scared to say anything.... Good morning all!
3:43 am
lottijw
In other words all the lurkers say hello!!!!
3:43 am
Jacula
Okay, will do, for now, Lotti. How'sit going with you, btw?
3:44 am
lottijw
Morning Haz, hows the weather in wonderful Ireland????
3:45 am
lottijw
Jac i`d do better to find some words really!!!
Are you baking today????
3:45 am
Haz1558
It's cold! A little snow but hopefully not too much. My sister-in-law is flying over to Edinburgh this evening to visit my daughter so we're keeping our fingers crossed for the weather.
3:46 am
Jacula
Helenary - if you a a psychiatrist, you obviously have the intelligence needed to do the clicks to join BabAnon. Please join! You might find some fun there. Not everyone is nuts!
3:46 am
helenary
ce9/66 any clues please??
3:47 am
helenary
I will join..but I will do it but not tonight..its 8.45pm here and I am almost done for the night. I am an aussie.
3:47 am
lottijw
It hasn`t got to us in West Yorkshire yet Haz, but my kids are desperate for it to snow!! My brother is in Fort William....i don`t know if he`s got it yet but i would assume he has :)
3:48 am
helenary
p.s a psychologist not a psychiatrist.
3:48 am
lottijw
Helenary add an s to your ce8 :)
3:48 am
Jacula
Lotti - Yes, am baking today. Have 3 lots of cookie dough in the fridge. One is a well tried and tested chop chip cookie one. The other two I kind of invented as I went along, a chocolate version of the choc chip one and also a peanut and white choc and Bailey' Irish Cream version of that.
3:48 am
Haz1558
Snow is great to look at, but I hate the mess and inconvenience of it all. Children just see the good side of it - and why not?!
3:49 am
Haz1558
Jacula - have you ever come across the recipe for Ritznuttorte? It's basically a meringue with nuts and Ritz biscuits and is yummy!
3:50 am
helenary
lotti..need help with ce8 too!! Ta
3:50 am
lottijw
I know exactly what you mean! They`ve got their eye on the sledge tucked down the side of the garage :)
3:50 am
Jacula
Snow is just great so long as you don't have to be somewhere or do something.
3:52 am
Jacula
Haz - That does ring a bell. Would you care to put the recipe for it into BabAnon?
3:52 am
lottijw
ce8/50 is a girdle or belt chiefly used in English as a dressmaking term :)
3:53 am
Haz1558
If I can work out how to do it, I certainly will. It's one of those foolproof recipes that is easy to make, tastes wonderful, can be frozen etc.
3:53 am
helenary
beautiful Lotti, got it. Thanks
3:54 am
micamonkey
are we on a dog theme today? hehehe
3:55 am
Jacula
Helenary - may I ask what is the difference between the two?
3:56 am
lottijw
Helenary you`re welcome :) Where in Oz are you?? I have some friends who have just gone home to Oz for 4 weeks he`s a rugby(or footie as you call it) player called Brad Drew :)
3:57 am
lottijw
We are Mica...
Jac i don`t like white choc, but the rest sounds dreamy!!! Haz yours sounds fab too :)
3:59 am
helenary
of coars..psychiatrist is first a medical doctor and then may train in psychotherapy leter. A Psychologis is not a medico but comes from other disciplines like Social Work or the Arts etc etc. They say that one treats more everyday normal issues like relationships/depression etc etc, and the other more chronic problems that may require medication or more intense intervention. Not all psychiatrists do psychotherapy. Psychologists do not prescribe. Hope that helps a bit. Its a question always asked.
4:01 am
Jacula
Lotti - until DR-God gives us thr facility to either edit/delete on here or private msg I can only think to send you to one other site, on which you may already be registered... Friends Reunited.co.uk

6:04 am
tbear
Fmitch...thx for those...Hi Miy...my girls have the day off too....Have u got a Miyavi pic with a Puppy?
6:04 am
Miyavi_fan
Yup yup :) Think I've got some relatives coming round at some point, so I'm cleaning too :/
6:05 am
Miyavi_fan
Hey Tbear :) I'll whizz off and check...think there was one I saw once...*pootles off*
6:10 am
lshult
anyone got the ty7?
if so, any chance of a clue?
6:12 am
Miyavi_fan
Okay...looks like my computer doesn't want to let me google search...
6:14 am
Sherry
Miya: try all the refresh, logout/login, disconnect/connect thingies.
6:14 am
FMitch
The is no def for the ty7 but Alanis Morissette recently had a single that rymes with this word.
6:16 am
Poo's Mom
Good clue Fmitch! Lshult -- it builds off the ty4 if you have that
6:16 am
tbear
Don't worry...we'll imagine he's holding up a sweet Husky puppy,where his hand is.....By the way what yr real name,if one is allowed to ask?
6:18 am
Miyavi_fan
*trying all the refresh, connect, disconnect, login/logout thingies*
Nope, it's not budging...:/ weird...
6:19 am
Sherry
Miya: reboot darling!
6:19 am
Miyavi_fan
blah...I don't like my real name...it means 'pure'...which fits me about as much as a rottweiler suits the name 'tiny'...
6:20 am
Miyavi_fan
Sherry, I don't dare to reboot! It only takes about seven hundred years to come back to life again :)
6:21 am
tbear
Don't worry,I'm not exactly the stereotypical Tracy either....When my mother choose it....cough..in 1960,she didn't know of another in te uk and Spencer tracy was the source..mind you my initials are TLC which is nice and i hope apt
6:22 am
Sherry
Miya: too bad! sometimes it's the only way to get the pc back together.
Don't you have a second name that your folks and friends could use if you don't like your real name? That's sorta what I do coz I feel my name is to heavy for me.
6:23 am
tbear
Tryiong to work out which name means PURE....Sherry want totellus the heavy one?
6:23 am
Miyavi_fan
Wow! My initials are the rather unspectacular CAA...could have been worse though, I've got a friend who's initials are RC, which she hates :D I didn't get it until I sounded it out...R...C...
6:24 am
tbear
Miy...is it Chastity??
6:24 am
Poo's Mom
LOL my initials are CLG... sounds like a plumbing problem....
6:25 am
Sherry
Tbear: yep! Elysabeth. It's nice but heavy! So people usually call me Betty and on screen I always go by the name I chose, Sherryngton (Sherry). Sherryngton Wiggins is actually my 'nom de plume'.
6:25 am
lshult
Fmitch- just got the ty7.
thank god for www.allmusic.com
would never have deciphered your clue without it!!
6:25 am
Miyavi_fan
Ah, I get called all sorts of nicknames, Sherry! The weirdest ones bearing no relation to my name whatsoever :D
Tbear, nope...it's Cathy :/
6:26 am
tbear
Miy...my boy cat(trouble) has just come in from the garden and melted snow and walked all over my white bed linen....black paw prints everywhere,bless his little cotton socks.....NOT
6:27 am
tbear
That's not bad Miy....k.d.lang real name is cathy I believe....and she's very cool
6:28 am
Miyavi_fan
lol Tbear! Nice that you've got snow there, though...over here we've got an annoyingly cheery blue sky :/ Blimmin' freezing outside though.

6:30 am
tbear
Poos Mom....lol....Sherry know what you mean about Elizabeth...but Sherrynton is kinda fab. Hi gramma and Yoink
6:31 am
Yoink
Believe it or not, Yoink is my real name :D
6:32 am
Miyavi_fan
Poo's Mom, I sometimes get called that anyway! Teachers are never able to remember my real name, so I'm called anything...including Cynthia, Claire and Jenny!
6:32 am
Sherry
Tbear: you're right but I chose it because I feel it and Sherry sounds nice. People who know me say it's like me. And it sounds like 'cherie'.
6:34 am
tbear
Gramma...if you get the chance pls read my post from 5.01...it was a great strt to the day (for me,at least)
6:35 am
tbear
Sherry,cherie...fab in the french sense,just don't add Blair!!
6:35 am
gramma
I hate to tell you this; but, Ive always liked my name. Sing along w/me..."for it was Mary, Mary long before the fashion changed....but in society, propriety they say Marie." It's just a good old name...nothing fancy..straight forward...actually, kinda like me.
6:36 am
Miyavi_fan
Although, my family were talking about this the other day...if you had to choose a name for yourself, one to be called by for the rest of your life, what would it be?
6:37 am
tbear
Gramma...one of my favourite all time songs is Danny Wilson..'When i was marys prayer' it's so emotive...gunna put it on...lol

6:46 am
Miyavi_fan
Hey Karys :) And thanks...being called Miyavi, Miy or Miya I really like, since I'm effectively being named after my favourite singer :D Though that name doesn't really fit me either...'Miya' means 'elegant'...

7:29 am
tbear
Je parle francais quand il est necessaire o quand j'ai bouve (?) beaucoup du vin,ginevra(?)o champagne....
7:30 am
EvaNadine
in the US, the day after thanksgiving is called black friday -- all the stores open super-early and have insane sales for the holiday season...
its called black friday because retailers finally get out of the red + into the black (the margin of profit)
7:31 am
Sherry
Miya: you'll have to translate that bit. I spoke Japanese but only in another life! lol!
Tbear: quand j'ai bu. lol!
7:32 am
Sherry
Got it Evanadine!
7:32 am

Quelques fois je me demande si je suis vraiment n'importe quel bon àce jeu
7:32 am
tbear

7:33 am
Miyavi_fan
It was a proverb describing beauty...it translates as "If you sit, you are a peony, if you stand, you are a tree peony, then you the walking is a lily flower...a poisonous flower"
7:34 am
EvaNadine
its always crazy though.
people just SWARM the stores.
it looks like a war zone!
7:35 am
Sherry
Not bad TSM! any good is hard to translate though, I'd say: je ne sais pas si je vaux grand-chose a ce jeu.
Tbear: French conjugation is HORRIBLE. I had to check the ending for 'vaux'.
7:36 am
Miyavi_fan
michishirube nante iranai kara, metsumutta mama isshoni arukou

8:18 am
Jen
Actually, it's my fault. I don't know how, but I'll take the blame. :)
8:19 am

I'm not that far north. For Canada, during the winter, that is warm. Southern Ontario is the most southerly point in Canada. Our capital, Ottawa is about 3 hours away (2 hours the way I drive) and they average 10 degrees colder than we do.

You know, I like to be fashionable as well... When it's cold I dress to be warm though and I don't care if I look like a puff ball! I rather be warm and puffy lol
8:39 am

Glad to hear it ToeSock. Perhaps when my daughter hits your age she'll have realized that! Actually, she's fairly sensible for 18.

Yup, sure have! I lived in Omaha for a little over 3 years, so we explored a lot of Iowa.

As for the rest of Canada, damn. My brother-in-law did a stint at Cold Lake Alberta. Had to plug his car in when he went into a store to shop. Or it wouldn't start. All the parking meters had electrical outlets on them. Not for me. No way.
8:40 am

Brandy, my knowledge of Ontario is more over near Thunder Bay...but only during the summer...
8:41 am

Isn't Galena lovely? The Chicago people love coming for the weekend. Dubuque is growing into quite the little town. Five colleges, Dog Track, Casino.....woo, woo. Big time.....
8:41 am

Nonny--just read that you're from DBQ--lived there for 4 years when I went to college
8:41 am
artlady
Wow! Dubuque is hitting the big time! My husband and I visited once many moons ago and it was pretty quiet. So was Galena then (early 80's), just about dead. Things have really turned around economy-wise there.

8:51 am
brandyjack
e5/12, h7/32, h5/16, h5/14, s4/5, s8/45 and q5/16 although that once is mildy rude. And that's with only 70 words found......
8:51 am

Yes, HUGE district with less importance placed on arts by admin. and students. Tough to get kids out for extracurricular these days.

Actually hurshy, I think all foods are considered part of the nu8/45, even (or especially) carbs and proteins.
8:59 am
hurshy
how about the ni 5/12 other than more ni4?
8:59 am

does brandy jack do the puzzle to get the answers? how are the answers known so early? are the words found in a digital way or does someone actually do the puzzle?
8:59 am

I'm aff for a while to work off some of yesterday's meal at the gym. TTFN! :)
9:02 am
brandyjack
I use someone elses program that solves the puzzle and generates a list of words. Then I use my own program to analyze the list and produce the stat lists. And yes, I could use the word list to just type in the words. And yes I do see one or two words while I'm cutting and pasting. But I usually forget them in all the tom-foolery that follows. Until I find them in the puzzle that is.
9:03 am

Aargh! I'm suffering from molasses computer today. As in...slow as molasses in January!

9:04 am

Ahhh, Brandyjack. I've been wondering how you did it. Someone actually wrote a program to solve this? Or is it a general word-puzzle solving program?
9:05 am

9:06 am
brandyjack
It's a solver for square puzzles in general. But it doesn't work perfectly. It gets right upset when a QU and a U are side by side, it doesn't recognize the word STENT, and a few others. So I have to watch it carefully.

Oooh, I meant to ask. On May 2nd (thinking ahead) it's the deathday of a very special person...I was wondering if, on that day, we could all put up pictures of Hide (from the band X Japan) for our icons? It would be a wonderful way to honour him
9:32 am
mamabear
Do I have this straight.. today is dog day, Monday is Fractals.... and tomorrow is Brandy Jack's choice? What about Sunday??? I also think a BJ day is in order for all his hard work!

Two bone weary public servants were working their little hearts and souls out. Their department was just too busy for staff to be able take flex. But there had to be a way...
One of the two public servants suddenly lifted his head. "I know how to get some time off work" the man whispered.
"How?" asked the second worker......................
11:32 am
Babbler
Instead of answering, the man quickly looked around. No sign of his Director. He jumped up on his desk, kicked out a couple of ceiling tiles and hoisted himself up. "Look!" he hissed, then swinging his legs over a metal pipe, hung upside down.
Within seconds, the Director emerged from the Branch Head's office at the far end of the floor. He saw the worker hanging from the ceiling, and asked him what on earth he thought he was doing.
"I'm a light bulb" answered the public servant.
"I think you need some time off," barked the Director. "Get out of here - that's an order - and I don't want to see you back here for at least another two days! You understand me?"
"Yes sir", the public servant answered meekly, then jumped down, logged off his computer and left.
The second worker was hot on his heels.
"Where do you think you're going?" the boss asked.
"Home," he said lightly. "I can't work in the dark."

There once was a Red Indian whose given name was "Onestone". So named because he had only one testicle. He hated that name and asked everyone not to call him Onestone.
After years and years of torment, Onestone finally cracked and said, "If anyone calls me Onestone again I will kill them! " The word got around and nobody called him that any more.
Then one day a young woman named Blue Bird forgot and said, "Good morning, Onestone." He jumped up, grabbed her and took her deep into the forest where he made love to her all day and all night. He made love to her all the next day, until Blue Bird died from exhaustion.
The word got around that Onestone meant what he promised he would do. Years went by and no one dared call him by his given name until a woman named Yellow Bird returned to the village after being away for many years......................
12:03 pm
Babbler
......
Yellow Bird, who was Blue Bird's cousin, was overjoyed when she saw Onestone. She hugged him and said, "Good to see you, Onestone."
Onestone grabbed her, took her deep into the forest, then he made love to her all day, made love to her all night, made love to her all the next day, made love to her all the next night, but Yellow Bird wouldn't die!

12:53 pm
Babbler
lol hydra !!! have a good 'un : D
12:53 pm
hydra

Think of the ancient place, -- of the Chaldees (dunno if I
spelt it right), plus the last part of a famous toy company name.
12:53 pm
Yoink

1:06 pm
Ho Hum
Got distracted!
1:06 pm
Miyavi_fan
Hehehe...I'll forgive you...this time :D
How are you?
1:07 pm
mab
Hi Babbler. Do you know (your greeting reminds me) that I've met people with dogs, and fussed so much over the dog that I never learned the person's name. I've done that several times.
And people are so smitten with their pets that they don't mind at all taking a back seat to the creature, so it all works out.
1:08 pm
Ho Hum
Fine ta, thanks Miy - see you had a day away from school today - woohoo!!!
1:08 pm
Babbler
that's true mab : ) I've done it many a time too!
1:09 pm
Ho Hum
Wasn't that a great j-rock day yesterday - I really must see if I can go pro so I can have ics too.
1:09 pm
Miyavi_fan
Mab, I do that. There's a gorgeous golden retriever down my road, and when my family tried to write the owner a Christmas card, we realised none of us knew his name! The dog was called Bruno, and we ended up putting "Mr. Bruno" on the card!
1:10 pm
mab
I want a Cairn Terrier (or Terrorist, as a friend of mine refers to terriers) terribly.
1:10 pm
Miyavi_fan
It was a great j-rock day...only all the gorgey icons distracted me from the puzzle! *sighs*
1:12 pm
mab
And I'm sure Bruno's master was truly enchanted. People are just that way -- I like it.
1:13 pm
Miyavi_fan
He was, Mab :) He didn't stop laughing for about a million years
1:15 pm
Miyavi_fan
Wahey, gotta go...food time :) See you all later maybe

1:22 pm

Walk into a room and you en*** through a doorway.

Feariekae-just read your profile. If you like pretty fairy art I know a lot of websites! One of my friends actually is an AMAZING artist. Take a peek at www.tarnishedimages.com her name in Ruth Thompson. I am sure you have seen her stuff around!
2:08 pm
Atalante
you're friends with Ruth THompson? OOOOOOO her work is amazing!
2:08 pm
ToeSockMonkey
or anyone who likes art go there for that matter... babbler you might like it too :)
2:08 pm
Babbler
sam I have 78 words yet to find.
the ce9 is a plural of ce8. It is french for belt. If you go to google, go to french dictionary, type in belt in English to French box, you will see the word.
2:09 pm
faeriekae
TSM thanks for web address I'll certainly look it up also you should look at "thefaereigathering.com" there is a faerie done in my image there. Lisa Stinke is the artist and she is a very dear friend of mine
2:09 pm
ToeSockMonkey
Yeah I made a costume for her 2 years ago for the renaissance faire that she had her very first art shop at! :) we dont talk much but I have TONS of her art. I even modeled for some on her art. GREAT lady!

thank you Babbler
2:35 pm
ToeSockMonkey
Kristin! Thanks!
2:35 pm
movieman
Chris - if U really want to change your icon, you could do what I do...
Go into google images, type in whatever image U want to search for, then keep looking until U find a suitable one, then save the image to your PC's hard drive.
Then go back to Babble, click on "My Profile" in the top right hand corner, then click on "edit" underneath your icon, then click on "browse", then upload your icon and Bob should (hopefully) be your uncle...
2:35 pm
e_gurl85
babbler lost?

Thanks movieman - will try it some time, but not today as I'm short of babble time!!

2:50 pm
Haz1558

2:50 pm
ToeSockMonkey
Theres the cute little puppy now! *snuggles Babbler* Good! Eat something! Poor thing...
2:50 pm
Atalante
Fairy art kind of edges onto my own art interests - I don't think I could draw a fairy to save my life but I love looking at the sites and getting some inspiration from them! There's a few more I'll copy in here tomorrow, because their site is down at the moment
2:51 pm
Haz1558
Atalante - is that a golden cocker spaniel puppy?
2:52 pm
Atalante
of a strange, muddy and grumpy-looking sort :)

Haz1558
Still beautiful!
2:53 pm
Maisie
Help needed for a newish player. Any clues for the ce9
2:54 pm
Atalante
he was :) my poor little boy ... its a cocker we used to have until he was run over 2 years ago *sniff* The poor boy was brain-damaged at birth and never really managed to learn any sense, let alone road sense ... but he had a happy little life while he was here!
2:54 pm
ToeSockMonkey
Alright I am done here at work. Now to drive home! I will update my icon for tomorrow then... I have the perfect picture... and i have lots of websites to visit ;)
2:55 pm
Babs1
I'm wondering what other "outside help" babblers use besides a2z?
thanks!
2:55 pm
Haz1558
That's sad - the log seems to have its fair share of doggy disasters this evening.
2:55 pm
ToeSockMonkey
You know... I could get you a signed piece from ruth... i have like 10 not even hanging up!
2:55 pm
ToeSockMonkey
ok byeeeee
2:56 pm
Haz1558
Babs1 - google is useful if you have a definition.
2:56 pm
judierae
I have that one Hazl... there is one more
2:58 pm
Babs1
Thanks, Haz...I'm just wondering how so many of you babblers actually complete these grids...
3:00 pm
Atalante
signed pieces from Ruth? You lucky lucky person!!!!
3:01 pm
Haz1558
It took me quite a few weeks to actually complete a grid. You build up experience and begin to remember words - it is never easy but it does get better. Just enjoy!
3:02 pm
Haz1558
It's also a big help to have Brandyjack's stats from Babblers Anonymous, because you then have a better idea of what you are looking for.
3:04 pm
spatialbean
Can anyone help me with the te 7/28? P p p p lease?
Thanks!
~:o)
3:04 pm
Babs1
Thanks, Haz...I do refer to the stats list..just don't want to spend toooo much time babbling compared to the rest of my life!
3:05 pm
Haz1558
spatialbean - the te7/28 looks exactly like the game played on grass or clay courts, but there's an extra vowel inserted.
3:06 pm
spatialbean
Bless you Haz!
3:07 pm
Haz1558
You're welcome.
3:12 pm

I NEED ANY HINTS YOU CAN GIVE ME PLEASE :)
3:14 pm

Are you a complete beginner or do you need help with specific words?
3:14 pm
movieman
Need help re: the re7/32...many, many thanx in advance...
3:15 pm
Forbes
:( dont be mean i just need hints
3:17 pm
Babbler
movieman - high school re*****
(i'm watching grosse point blank - that's a big hint too!)
3:17 pm
Haz1558
Forbes, I wasn't being mean - quite the opposite. If you have played before you will know the basics. If you haven't then it is helpful to read the rules at the top of the page. Use the clues that people give, and if you need help with a specific word we will help. We will not just give words away as that takes the enjoyment out of the game.
3:18 pm
movieman
Thanx Babbler - just found it as U were posting...lol
3:19 pm
judierae
Finally found it!!! and finally finished Whew~~~
3:19 pm
Babbler
hi forbes, welcome to the game!
lots of hints in the chat log, just scroll down.
Stats are in Babblers Anonymous, which is at the bottom of the list in Friends of Babble panel on the right of your screen. Go to General, then stats and you'll see them. Anything in particular you're stuck on, we're all happy to help!!! (except me right now cos I have to watch my John Cusack movie!! ) :D

Hey everyone :) What's up?
3:36 pm
Trotters
I've had a very hard day at work in the NHS and then a small panic over my 11 month old granddaughter (oh! and mourning George Best). Now I'm babbling and watching "I'm a celebrity, get me out of here" at the same time" - pure escapism!
3:37 pm
Miyavi_fan
Trotters, did you just see that gross trial? Sick!
3:37 pm
beebee
kristen-
let miy give you the clue for the us5- she's how i got it

3:43 pm

3:44 pm
Miyavi_fan
Okay...just take the us, then put in the two letters that are sharing the same square on the grid. Add a vowel for flavour :)
3:45 pm
Miyavi_fan
Trotters, unfortunately it is true! My dad was cooking one, since we had lots of family coming around, and he was so proud of the eel he'd bought that he came right up into the study, where I was, and put it on my shoulder...I wasn't really expecting it, turned my face sharply around and had a fish slap :D
3:45 pm

3:48 pm
Miyavi_fan
Snowy, ouch! I went babysitting with a friend, and oooh my God...the sights! The sounds! All children are monsters! Monsters I say!
3:49 pm
beebee
kristin- i went back and looked - i was combining the te and tr clues- sorry

3:50 pm

3:54 pm
Miyavi_fan
Trotters...what about the children who are both children and grandchildren?
Part-time monsters? Maybe monsters 2 - 5:30 on Friday afternoons?
3:54 pm
Tbug

3:55 pm
Nonny

Miyavi_fan
If I had any grandchildren, then apart from being a miracle of modern science, I'd imagine they'd be just like me...
Good grief.
3:55 pm
snowyowl
I know TrotterI always feel guilty as the 3 I have tonight have grandparents who live a long journey away and only get to see them once or twice a year. I try not to moan because they are so gorgeous - Much nicer than your own kids really LOL!

Thats why I'm so grateful to have them Trotters. I always think they must hate us! Having said that they are fantastic with the children when they see them and I stay away as much as I can so they get concentrated child time. The children talk about them all the time so don't fell forgotten. Tehy regard them as special because they see them less often.

I feel better now, I always thought the other grandparents were avoiding us, never thought they were being considerate! Perhaps you should mention to the others why you stay away? I do have good times on the phone (ring a ring a roses is very strange with just a phone in your hand!) My daughter mentioned tonight about getting a video link on the pc.

8:19 pm
harpjane
Actually, it's bad manners to have a bird feeder if you live in bear country. Not to mention a good way to lose your bird feeder. We're always getting public service announcements, don't feed your pets outdoors, pick the apples off your trees, etc. This minimizes the chance that a bear trying to "bulk up" will ge used to human-offered food.
Am I right, Mama?
8:19 pm
mamabear
te 7/28 - oneies, twoies, threeies, fouries, fiveies, sixies, sevenies, eighties, nineies, te*****

By the way, I worked the the mental health field for the past several years, and the lu6 is the technical term.
9:19 pm
GreyWoulf
Temple - I will be bored until the day after Xmas -- the last week of the year is called Insurance Week bec everyone will suddenly realise that their medical flex benefits are about to expire and they have to use the money ore lose it -- glasses are the easiest high medical expense item out there to buy so they come running to us
9:20 pm
GreyWoulf
What kind of bifocal, Temple -- lined or no line?
9:20 pm
scsongbird1

9:25 pm
mamabear
GW - that's EXACTLY what I would be doing this time of year, except I had to use up all my medical flex dollars this year on other medical expenses. So no new glasses for me!!!
9:26 pm
mamabear
welcome!!!
9:27 pm
GreyWoulf
Temple Owl - not necessarily -- not trying to advertise here - but if you come into any Lenscrafter's (mine is in Plymouth Meeting) and talk to an optician - they can double check your measurements and make sure everything lines up properly :)
9:28 pm
mamabear
GW - how you doing with the word count tonite?
9:29 pm
GreyWoulf
MAMA - if it helps you, I have certificates that I am supposed to share with friends and/or family that give you 50% off a pair of glasses -- you definitely qualify as the former, so I can always mail one to you ;)
9:30 pm
GreyWoulf
I have 61 left to find -- the last couple of clues since I logged on have helped me find some that I missed theis AM :)
9:30 pm

That's very sweet of you GW!!!! I got new glasses last year in December, and my insurance allows for every other year, so I'll probably wait until 2006.. mine seem to be ok for now.
9:31 pm
72 Temple Owl
last se5/10 please? or if clue given anyone know when?
9:31 pm
