zubie

Hi

You were right, Scatty. Found a few more. Finished on 171.

12:01 am

renfield

12:02 am

harpjane

Um, where are the vowels?

12:02 am

cybernan

Hi Everyone

12:02 am

renfield

12:03 am

saphyre

hi

12:03 am

cybernan

did I hear a gr 5/10 Harpjane?

12:03 am

harpjane

That's about as far to the west as we can start a word!

12:05 am

scatty

now Ive had a quick look, i'm off to bed before Jon gets up, will see you all tonight good luck everyone, night night Jacula , there will probably be alot of G/24 when the grid gets going

12:06 am

renfield

nite scatty -

12:07 am

Christa

good evening from arizona usa

12:08 am

cybernan

Nite scatty.

I protest -- borg is not a word!

12:08 am

scatty

night renfield, ae you staying on the grid for a while, if you are I'll come clue hunting tonight

12:09 am

DarleenMB

what? You want to be assimilated?

12:09 am

renfield

hi christa

12:10 am

renfield

i'm on it for a while scatty - it's been a tense week and this is my relaxing time

12:10 am

Christa

hi ren. is it a hard grid tonight?

12:10 am

harpjane

My guess--this is a big one.

12:10 am

renfield

122

12:10 am

DarleenMB

naw. Only 122

12:11 am

Christa

so no yoyo because it is a name?

12:11 am

harpjane

My stats aren't up yet. Dial up. Plus I'm playing "White Trash Christmas"

12:12 am

harpjane

Christa-that was the first word I saw!

12:12 am

DarleenMB

Ah harp! We got DSL FINALLY in August. It's bliss.

12:13 am

Christa

yep but obviously it is not a good one!

12:13 am

Christa

reminds me of my friend bbnaz....she is definitely a yoyo!

12:13 am

renfield

oh harp - that so goes w/ some of the roads around here- someone decorated their old washing machine that's been sitting on their porch for ages

12:15 am

harpjane

ren--dang. I wish I'd thought of that. It's hard to be original in the middle of yuppie land. We call our non-working cars "the guest rooms."

12:16 am

renfield

LOL harp - 8) or as sherry sez MDR

12:18 am

cybernan

hope it's not a big grid -- only have 53 words and am stalled already!

12:19 am

DarleenMB

nan 122

12:19 am

cybernan

122 words -- only 2 7's and all the rest are 6 or less.

12:19 am

harpjane

We're going to get something better than dial up if we have any money left after building a garage. (So we have someplace to store our dead cars!)

12:20 am

Christa

so do you ever come across my friend bbnaz?

12:20 am

renfield

you have a garage? i keep going to garage sales and no one will sell me a garage - we have a muddy road that we call a drive way - keeps people from visiting

12:21 am

renfield

bbnaz has been on a few nighte this week

12:22 am

cybernan

bo 6/24

12:22 am

Christa

12:22 am

cybernan

12:23 am

cybernan

don't know -- I have 18 'b' words already

12:23 am

harpjane

Hee hee, I used a word before I knew it WAS a word! Now you all get to hunt for it!

12:24 am

DarleenMB

Double d**g!

2:43 am

Griffums

Thios, all I did was google the definition that Norad gave (see log at 1.58)

2:44 am

macadam

Hi Karenth.I don`t envy you going Christmas shopping.

2:44 am

Thios77

oh ok. thanx

2:45 am

karenth

i know :/ why is the male species so hard to buy for?

2:46 am

Thios77

i love rubie's clues. piecing together words! thanx

2:47 am

misstearweus

karenth, I read somewhere that they are actually from another planet...could cause some of the difficulty.

2:49 am

macadam

It`s always the same system.Do they smoke,drink,play sport and drive.Next stage have they a hobby (eg cooking or gardening) favourite food then clothes.

2:49 am

zubie

Thios - I looked all over the log for rubie and have finally concluded that the thanks was for me ;D

2:49 am

karenth

ahhh that makes sense :D thats why they like machines and toys ....

2:50 am

Thios77

lol. i m so sorry. i meant you of course

2:51 am

sherb

morning karen :)

same struggle every year..I try to find one good present and buy it for all the men! ...last year was an electronic barometer...keeps them happy for hours...

2:51 am

zubie

It's ok, Thios :D I DID look for rubie, though. Was going to say 'hi'. LOL!

I've been stuck on 93 for ages and so I went away and just came back.

2:51 am

macadam

And never reading instruction manuals bacause they "know" how it works.(as aliens they must not read earth languages);0)

2:53 am

macadam

Gosh I feel so much better now!!!!!!A good moan clears the fog.Thanks for listening folks.

2:54 am

misstearweus

barometer eh? the gaming brothers I have may not be happy with that. But thats better than trying to memorize the video games they have asked for...I'm not a gamer and have no clue what language they speak when they start into Xbox, PS2, etc.

2:55 am

karenth

hi sherb thats a good ploy...
i made the mistake of a book of useless facts last year
thats all we got all day.... useless facts LOL

2:56 am

macadam

Things with head phones (or equivalent) seem like a good idea until the wearer drones along or worse, sings aloud frquently off key.

2:58 am

sherb

speaking of which (shopping), I have to go and do some myself...65 still to go, so I'll be back...have a good day all :)

3:06 am

misstearweus

3:06 am

macadam

Meals move him `cos mine cooks.

3:07 am

The Happy 1

lucky u mac i'd need a meal 2 get mine out.

3:10 am

macadam

He can`t play golf any more (not that he played very often) so now he watches LOTS of it along with other sports.He`d want tv with his chair and coffee.

3:12 am

The Happy 1

mmm...that would mean him moving out 2 the shed...good idea!...bad idea..!mmm

3:13 am

macadam

Time for a coffee I think.Back soon.

3:57 am

sprite

Don't worry, ramix, just keep looking and all at once you will find a word that puts you on the track of a lot of others. At least, that is how it works with me when I get stumped :)

3:57 am

Griffums

Me too ramix - though I'm down to 2 words left, both B's with 6 letters, and I'm worn out. Can't find 'em, don't care, goin' to bed!

10:57 am

harpjane

The first ra 5/16? Anyone?

10:57 am

ra5/16 is pertaining to the 'crazy' dog disease, where you get shots in the stomach. Also sounds kinda jewish.

10:58 am

harpjane

I'm on 72, getting distracted by music and trying to stop myself throwing my computer out of the window :(

11:01 am

gwenski

Need a bo4/8 after the bo5/16 that goes with stocks. Got the deep bell sound. What's the other one?

11:03 am

gwenski

11:03 am

Queenruejean

Gwenski, containing lots of skeleton. :)

11:04 am

Chessy

gwen - it is also the French word for box...

11:04 am

Queenruejean

Miyavi_fan

11:05 am

11:09 am

Ouwachita

11:09 am

Miyavi_fan

Thanks Gwen! Is that the ci 4 that means to quote? That's the only one I have

11:09 am

mtnjock

for the 8, if you have the c4/5 then you were bored. take the hint from the last word of that sentence.

11:09 am

Jera

Could use some help with the e... details, please?

11:09 am

Chessy

Gwen - bo5/14 is also the French word meaning 'box'...

11:09 am

gwenski

yes, miyavi. You are on the right track

11:09 am

Queenruejean

Gwenski, with the t's do you have things kids (and me!)love to play with? The other one might be like cooked bread without the a.

11:52 am

harpjane

I've already asserted that I lost all mechanical ability when I married a mechanic. The to thing is further evidence... Thank you for the clue!

11:52 am

girlfriday

mtnjock

LOL... tell me about it, I have 2 bothers like that, and it never works for them. You have to love yourself for who you are, and then love the one you are with for who THEY are, not who you want them to be.

11:57 am

cybernan

cybernan

Thank you mtnjock!

11:59 am

mtnjock

Miy, you have to love people for who they are. Flaws and all, they may change over time, but you can't change them. They will grow on their own. All you can do is look at them, love them for who they are, and accept them. No one can change you but you. (wink)

11:59 am

cybernan

12:35 pm

Haz1558

12:35 pm

hurshy

12:36 pm

Miyavi_fan

I'm imagining Miyavi is wearing those boots!

Okay, nothing else for it...I'm sneaking away to watch PV's, get my head in order. Back soon!

12:36 pm

Queenruejean

Cybernan, ra + the opposite of pro. And the plural.

12:36 pm

Sherry

See ya Miya!

12:36 pm

Kelstar

think of the masked animal, lose a vowel

12:37 pm

hurshy

if people are on during the rest of the day, and other people are looking for the listing, perhaps people could point it out to them? being the third post it's not as noticeable as brandyjack's.

12:37 pm

hurshy

wow, what a variety of clues for the ra5! we're so creative.

12:38 pm

cybernan

Thanks, Hurshy -- just printed out the part I needed -- working on the last 7 words now.

Many thanks, Queen

12:39 pm

Queenruejean

You're very welcome, Cybernan.

12:39 pm

cybernan

the ladies' curling final has just come on, so the last 7 can wait! Bye for now.

12:40 pm

Haz1558

Hairdressing competition?

12:40 pm

mtnjock

12:41 pm

mtnjock

better yet, the next WWF Smackdown!

12:41 pm

hurshy

lol haz! curling is a sport you play on ice. one person pushes the disc (sorta like in shuffleboard) but then two people frantically sweep the ice in front of the disc to make it end up in a good spot.

12:41 pm

Haz1558

Miyavi could be the model for the under-18 section.

12:42 pm

Sherry

Bye Cybernan!

12:42 pm

Haz1558

Hurshy - I know! They play it in the north of Scotland.

12:42 pm

Queenruejean

There will be no blow dryers below the belt.

12:43 pm

hurshy

ah. so hard to tell when people are joking. :)

12:43 pm

mtnjock

and no illegal use of product to blind the opponent

12:44 pm

harpjane

There are some curlers whom I would not want to meet in a dark alley....they look so big and strong.

12:45 pm

harpjane

bi 6?

12:45 pm

Queenruejean

Scissor locks are a very popular move. Clipping is forbidden. And none of this shampoo. Only the real stuff!

12:45 pm

mtnjock

Jane, is that a rating on the Kinsey scale?

12:46 pm

Babs1

Finally finished...yay, back to life now. Bye Babblers!

The grid I put up earlier may show up some day...it is for 4+ letter words.

By ya'all as they say here in Texas!

1:04 pm

cybernan

Thank you Iola -- back to the curling -- will return later to help out.

1:05 pm

Queenruejean

1:39 pm

trishtrash

evening peoples,
any chance of a clue for the in6/24 and the 6/30s? I'm presuming they're simply since no one else seems to have asked, buy my brain won't make words anymore!

1:40 pm

1:51 pm

Dachef

Miy - angel wings? Last week I went to a fancy dress party dressed as a cow (the theme was cowboys and indians. I was "cow-boy" - geddit?), and when I woke up the next morning, I had the usual morning after thoughts going thru my head - "oh no, I did that, I did this", and then I thought "oh no, I was dressed as a giant cow"! Strangest feeling!

1:52 pm

Babbler

8:40 pm

GreyWoulf

Push the button, Max!!

8:41 pm

scatty

licketySplitAUS

Funniest movie ever!!

8:41 pm

8:42 pm

licketySplitAUS

on the iceberg... push the button!! too much!!!!

8:43 pm

renfield

what about tony curtis and roger moore in the tv series persuaders - shlock - but nice looking

8:43 pm

GreyWoulf

'Some like it hot' has perhaps the best ending line for a movie ever -- 'Nobody's perfect' -- LOL

8:43 pm

Yoink

There just don't seem to be many Sinatra movies on for me to watch and whenever there is I always miss it for some reason.

The only movie I have seen with Tony Curtis in (I think) is Spartacus which I do like

8:43 pm

mab

Are you serving the last of your challah, Ren?

8:44 pm

GreyWoulf

Never saw the persuaders :(

8:44 pm

licketySplitAUS

roger was sooooo ugly next to tony! that's how hot tony is!

8:45 pm

8:51 pm

GreyWoulf

I admit to being a Little House watcher myself, scatty --- it used to be on in the afternoon when I would get home from school and I would just leave it on in the background while doing my homework :)

8:52 pm

Yoink

Doing just fine, been out in Bolton watching several bands and am now home and feeling too sober so have a bottle of white at my side. How are you doing?

8:52 pm

renfield

scatty - they are starting to put a lot of the cowboy shows on dvds that you can get at what we call the dollar stores. do you guys have anything like that?

8:53 pm

GreyWoulf

We come in peace,
Shoot to kill, shoot to kill,
We come in peace,
Shoot to kill, men

8:53 pm

Babbler

I could kill a glass of that wine, yoink. Got a cup of herb tea, listening to the Chiller Cabinet.

8:54 pm

licketySplitAUS

GO GREY, GO GREY, GO GREY!!

8:56 pm

GreyWoulf

lickety - I used to have a taped copy of the 'unofficial Star Trek parody album' It was a compilation of various ST related songs and comedy sketches, unmfortunately the tape was lost years ago -- but it was a blast! :D

8:57 pm

scatty

renfield, we have blockbusters where we hire dvd's at 3-50, they sell second hand ones but they are the usual rubbish no-one else wants to watch

8:57 pm

renfield

the beg a thon is showing roy orbison again - love his music -

8:57 pm

licketySplitAUS

Always going forward
'Cause we can't find reverse!

8:58 pm

Yoink

Babs you'd be very welcome to it, it's a chenin from the Anjou region. I've got some Ramones on, I need volume after the music I've was out listening to, ears have taken a battering! I fell asleep to the chiller cabinet last night on Sky

8:58 pm

licketySplitAUS

grey... that's a shame... it would have been a great party tape

8:59 pm

pthomp

checked the fridge.. ren it's gonna be green enchiladas and a corona.

8:59 pm

GreyWoulf

ren - our pbs is showing roy as well

9:00 pm

Babbler

aww, yoink! I wondered where you'd got to... I love the Ramones, they make me laugh. Might have to treat myself to some wine tomorrow. Though is that a good thing to do when you're under a cloud..... ? :/

9:01 pm

licketySplitAUS

mmmmm..... camembert AND wine!

9:01 pm

Yoink

Babs, I've never known it to be a bad time for wine :D

9:01 pm

GreyWoulf

lickety -- it was kinda cool, though now it would be great just to get peoples reactions to the song 'Uhura'

9:01 pm

renfield

ok on the green enchilads - i want mexican food so bad - and traffic is brutal tonight - i'm the desinated driver at these parties so i only drink water or diet coke

9:02 pm

licketySplitAUS

wine on the breath, kissing the kids off to school... now THAT'S a bad time!

9:02 pm

Babbler

wine it is then : )
so who were these bands you saw? any good?

9:02 pm

renfield

wolfie - he was one of a kind - my cousins had all of his records and when i stayed the night - i always played them - how about that growl?

9:03 pm

scatty

renfield, we( me and hubby) wnet to see a guy singing Roy Orbison songs, he was bril, he even looked the part, if anyone started to talk while he was singing, he stopped, put his finger to his lips , shoooooo a couple of times. he was being brave considering we were in a very rough working mans club, that kind of place you tend to do as your told, bl good night though

9:03 pm

licketySplitAUS

grey. I don't know why uhura didn't have her own album... she was the perfect lady for cosmic music!!

9:04 pm

crash-cool

can i have a clue for the last ro 7/40

9:04 pm

Yoink

Mostly local to Bolton, one from Leeds, and average for the main part. The headliners Hella though are from Northern California and were a class above. Lots of noise, a severe wall of it

9:05 pm

GreyWoulf

Oh yes, ren -- as a metter of fact, that's how I first learned to growl, by emulating him ;)
I have to admit that the only real exposure I had to him was via the radio -- my parents weren't much into him and we never had a lot of money when I was growing up

9:06 pm

renfield

scatty - i think it's great when artist are so loved that others want to impersonate them.

9:06 pm

scatty

ro 7/40 same as 5/14 add
you drink water to get rid of h.. ups

9:07 pm

GreyWoulf

lickety - have you heard the song -- it is one of the most contrived pieces of shlock out there, being good only due to it's badness -- though it is better than the actual lyrics that were meant to be sung to the original theme :)

9:07 pm

renfield

oh gw - that growl - we need a sound button!

9:07 pm

Babbler

Sounds good. So, are your ears ringing then? ??

9:08 pm

Yoink

Babs, for sure. I was standing near the speakers a few times and I thought my ears were going to bleed. They are recovering... slowly

9:08 pm

GreyWoulf

agreed, ren ;D

9:08 pm

renfield

scatty / lickety- what do you think? sound button?

9:08 pm

scatty

ren, I used to live in Wales, about 100yards from a golf club. they had some excellent groups there, mind you some were tone deaf as well.

9:08 pm

licketySplitAUS

grey... I heard it and thought it was bizarre myself, but am sure it was a better version of the original

9:10 pm

scatty

yep - sound button SOUNDS good

9:10 pm

Babbler

yikes! I've done that a few times. : ( I started to carry earplugs with me (after about a decade of abuse!), and my friends all laughed at me. Didn't stop me. Hope they recover soon. : )

9:10 pm

renfield

i love music - wish i had a better singing voice - i do have cousin who is tone deaf - and she sings all the time

9:11 pm

licketySplitAUS

babbler... my dad took me to an INXS concert with cotton wool in his ears... I was so proud, didn't care about the cotton balls hanging all out of his ears!!

9:12 pm

Babbler

lol lickety : D

ren - are they the boots you were telling me about?

9:12 pm

scatty

I sing in the bath sometimes, i must be tone deaf, the dog thinks im a cat as well as the rest of he family

9:13 pm

Babbler

I love singing......... though I have no idea how I sound!
Don't care........ it's fun... : )

9:13 pm

GreyWoulf

ren -- I sang for school chorus in junior high, but didn't follow through when I changed school districts once I hit 9th grade -- as a result, I love to sing but am hideously aware of how off key I truly am! :D

9:13 pm

renfield

no these are donald pliner - they come in black and gold as well - as you can see - i have a big foot

9:13 pm

Yoink

I tend to limit my singing to the car where I let it all go!

9:14 pm

licketySplitAUS

I sang a John Denver song at my wedding.... had a couple of shots of vodak before hand....

9:14 pm

Babbler

.... same as GW.... school choir at primary school... didn't continue.... do know when i go off..... euw! : /

9:14 pm

GreyWoulf

But I usually don't let that stop me -- just like when I decide to dance -- I know I have no ability fo rit, but sometimes you just have to say stuff it and have fun!

9:15 pm

scatty

I must admit the car is a good place to really turn up the music and sing to my hearts content, it also blocks out the booming from the teens in the next car

9:15 pm

renfield

yoink - you know it's a must to sing to the people in the car next to you.

9:15 pm

licketySplitAUS

dance!!! ha ha... my bits wobble when I dance... very unattractive

9:16 pm

torgone

I have the opposite problem; I can hear exactly how badly I sing. I just can't make my voice hit any kind of note. Therefore, I do not sing.

9:16 pm

Babbler

yoink - i've been singing along to cocteau twins and love spirals downwards (heard of them? they're on last). good thing no one can hear me..... :D

9:16 pm

Babbler

tor-tor (( hugs )) : )

9:17 pm

scatty

led zeplin is a good one to listen to in the car when you are sat there waiting for your son to finish fooyball training and its thundering and lightening,which i can't stand

9:17 pm

renfield

torg - is it that kimd of evening?

9:17 pm

Babbler

I love to dance. I just adore it. don't care how I look, it just feels good. : )

9:17 pm

torgone

Heya Baboo!

9:18 pm

Babbler

Heya :D

9:18 pm

GreyWoulf

tor -- I hear that! My biggest prob is that I sing in the key of wandering and man do I know it :)

9:18 pm

scatty

when do the americans start playing xmas music in the shops, we seem to getting earlier each year, the decorations will be going up in the summer at this rate

9:19 pm

licketySplitAUS

anyone! what is a 'creative director'?

9:19 pm

torgone

Hiya ren! I would like to able to sing, but I just can't. So I don't.

9:19 pm

renfield

scatty - the walmarts put out the christmas stuff during october

9:20 pm

Babbler

creative director - I'd say someone with a vision of how something is going to look, but with an artistic bent. I'd say Madonna is a good example of a creative director. why?

9:20 pm

scatty

and I thought we were bad, Asda is the same shop isn't it

9:21 pm

GreyWoulf

sactty -- same over here -- the xmas music started halloween week and some stores had a whole Xmas in july thing this year complete with music and decorations

9:21 pm

torgone

An artistic bent what?

9:21 pm

harpjane

Scatty, usually we get Christmas music starting the day after Thanksgiving (4th Thursday in November), but every now and then you hear it a few days before that--any time after November 20th.

Of course, by January 1, all the Valentine's decorations are in the stores....

9:21 pm

renfield

creative director as in software?

9:21 pm

licketySplitAUS

Elin Woods! Creative director of Tiger Woods.... I don't think so... what is this show going on about??

9:21 pm

scatty

a creative director is someone who creates, then directs and gets paid a small fortune for it hee hee

9:22 pm

licketySplitAUS

am watching a show about celebrity wife etc

9:22 pm

Babbler

lickety, that's what I would call a load of codswallop....

9:23 pm

licketySplitAUS

codswallop!! ha ha ha... love that word

9:24 pm

GreyWoulf

lickety - sounds like a show rationalising how celebrity's use lagalese and loophole to avoid paying taxes on all their earnings by creating positions for family members

9:24 pm

EvaNadine

evening all

9:25 pm

licketySplitAUS

grey... it is a show that degrades women, at the same time giving them 'purpose' for spending their spouses money! All horses**t to me too!

9:25 pm

renfield

evening eva

9:25 pm

scatty

why does everyone panic buy at christmas, the shops are only closed for one day, I hate food shopping this time of year, it takes longer to pay for the food than actually working out what you need to buy

9:26 pm

torgone

A creative director is someone who is not creative and has no skills to direct anything, but is someone's friend, relative etc. and thus on the payroll ..

9:26 pm

GreyWoulf

Hi evanadine!

9:26 pm

torgone

Heya eva!

9:27 pm

scatty

nice one torgone, had to giggle at that one

9:27 pm

torgone

I always think of Yoko Ono when I hear that term, scatty.

9:28 pm

scatty

does anyone ever watch wife swap

9:28 pm

renfield

torg your sense of humor is great!

9:28 pm

licketySplitAUS

tor... that would be a 'Paris Hilton"

9:28 pm

Yoink

Hi Eva :)

Babs, I tried to say about 10 mins ago that i haven't heard of spirals downwards but it wouldn't go through for some reason.

9:29 pm

torgone

I swapped my wife for a life of happiness ..

9:29 pm

renfield

when my mom was in the hospital - i watched the wife swap show -

9:30 pm

GreyWoulf

scatty -- I try to avoid any of the so called 'reality' TV shows -- about the only one I have seen in the past year was Nanny 911 which absolutely amazed me with the lack of parenting skills out there :)

9:30 pm

renfield

i watch the apprentice and that travel dude on pbs

9:30 pm

Babbler

that happens to me too, yoink. most annoying.... : (
I heard Love Spirals Downwards on Last FM that day when I put their radio on Cocteau Twins. There's a little playlist on Last, if you want to hear them. : )

9:32 pm

licketySplitAUS

grey... nanny 911 is crap.... if you aren't screaming at your kids, you aren't spending enough time with them!

9:32 pm

renfield

the wife swap shoe i saw was a rich mom and a poor mom

9:33 pm

renfield

that's show not shoe - i must be hallucinating

9:33 pm

scatty

wolfie, i only watched nanny 911 a couple of times, my hubby stopped me watching it as i was shouting abuse at the tv every two mins, with wife swap they only do it for the money, no-one in their right mind would treat a complete stranger like sh.. on national tv

9:33 pm

Babbler

we get nanny 911 over here too, I think.... but I haven't seen it.

9:34 pm

licketySplitAUS

bab... super nanny is heaps better!

9:35 pm

renfield

scatty - have you seen bridezilla? we accidently recorded on the wrong channel and it was so stupidly hilarious - and men want to marry these women????

9:35 pm

Babbler

super nanny is wonderful. excellent show!

9:35 pm

GreyWoulf

Oh yeah - Kirsten jus treminded me that we also watch MTv's 'Mad Mad World' and coming away from it wondering how the witch, Fiona, could justify her actions on the show which seemed to be in direct opposition to the Wiccan Reddae

9:35 pm

GreyWoulf

ren - I haven't even heard of that one!

9:36 pm

scatty

ren, was it the woman with fair hair and the step child that kept his room like a spare room. you missed a good one last week, one family and four kids all slept in one room so that the other room could be used as a playroom for the young ones, the eldest child was 15

9:37 pm

licketySplitAUS

bridezilla is frightening! I don't see the love... just the desire to marry for the sake of a wedding

9:37 pm

renfield

the wife swap i saw was a rich asian man married to a blonde woman and the other family was african american

9:39 pm

renfield

lickery - you are so right - bridezilla is frightening -funny - as well -

9:41 pm

scatty

no this guy was Irish, he was quite nice but his wife was a cleaning freak, 10 hours cleaning each day then a blitz once a week, everything sparkled, she can come to my house and clean it anytime, the woman from the other housejust lazed about all day and her husband ran around after her because he didn't work, when they swapped the posh woman got him a job straight away, snigger snigger

9:43 pm

licketySplitAUS

scatty quote:the woman from the other housejust lazed about all day:end quote.... that's me, for sure...

9:44 pm

renfield

dust - no that's part of the decor

9:44 pm

scatty

we don't get bridezilla over here, we get the ones where the couples go to a desert island to see if they were meant for each other, then had hunky men thrown at the woman and models thrown at the men to see if they would stay faithful, like hell they would

9:45 pm

Babbler

bridezilla has been on over here, scatty. late night on ITV. I saw it once..... *shudders*.....never again...

9:45 pm

scatty

ren, i keep telling my hubby that but he doesn't believe me

9:45 pm

renfield

scatty - never heard of that one

9:46 pm

scatty

babbler, do you remember what channel, i will have to keep an eye out for it,

9:47 pm

scatty

im off to bed, befor my painkillers wear out, night every one, talk tomorrow, keep me posted on goss

9:48 pm

Yoink

Babs, babble killed my computer and I had to restart. Did i mention that I fell asleep to the chiller cabinet last night/this morning? How do you play tracks by an artist on Last.fm? I haven't done that yet

9:48 pm

Babbler

nite scatty. late night ITV by the way. wasn't on this week.

9:49 pm

renfield

ok - sactty - you and babbler are going to really shudder - on the women's channel - there was a show
" the american princess" - the candidates (really weird people) came to your country to become a "real american princess" - talk about pure shlock - whoever thought of that was meshuga - 4 sure

9:49 pm

licketySplitAUS

take about wife swap... michael douglas swapped dianne for catherine zeta jones... that would have cost him a hell of alot! And harrison ford... melissa swap for calista annorexia... half his royalties et al!

9:49 pm

GreyWoulf

Good Night scatty -- (*gentle hug*)

9:49 pm

Babbler

yes, yoink, you told me you fell asleep to the chiller cabinet last night, and I have you a hug : )
you enter the name of the artist in the search thingy and go to their page. most artists only have a preview, but LSD have a little playlist, you have to scroll down a little to see it.....

9:50 pm

renfield

nite scatty - sweet dreams - as roy is singing

9:50 pm

Babbler

ren..... I am soooooo glad I haven't seen that show. ick!

9:52 pm

Babbler

also, yoink, you know when you're listening to their radio and you have a little panel come up on your screen? you can click on artists on that too, and it takes you to their page. found it by accident! : )

9:52 pm

licketySplitAUS

aarrrggghhh! (accidentally flipped to the country music channel!)

9:52 pm

Yoink

got it Babs. i will give them a play when my current cd runs out, going back to the old crooners again!

9:52 pm

Babbler

I love country music... but only the good sort. (yes, there is a good sort!)

9:53 pm

licketySplitAUS

good sort Keith Urban?

9:53 pm

GreyWoulf

Reality TV is just scary in general, but it is never going to go away because no matter how bizarre the premise, someone is going to want to watch the trainwreck out of morbid curiosity
And, more importantly, it costs very little to produse due to the fact that you don't have to pay an actor's salary

9:54 pm

Babbler

don't know Keith Urban. I like the old stuff. I really like Gillian Welch of today's crowd.

9:54 pm

Yoink

I didn't know that Babs, will try to remember to check it out sometime. Nice to hear you realise that there is good country music as well as bad, ever heard Laura Cantrell or Neko Case?

9:54 pm

Babbler

(I think that's her name)

9:54 pm

Yoink

Yes it is Babs, and I like her too

9:55 pm

licketySplitAUS

bab... ha ha ha ha ha ha!!! Love it!

9:55 pm

GreyWoulf

Babbler -- some one who understands! there is good country and then there is cookie cutter country

9:55 pm

Babbler

Laura Cantrell - yes (though can't remember what)
Neko Case - no

9:55 pm

renfield

wolfie - you are so right...

9:55 pm

licketySplitAUS

grey.... what is 'cookie cutter country'??

9:56 pm

Babbler

I've got a Woodie Guthrie CD. I found it quite hard going when I played it. I must dig it out and try it again. U2's Joshua Tree was purely influenced by country.

9:57 pm

GreyWoulf

lickety -- my own term for modern singers who try to get by in the country genre by trying to repeat what has already been done with out making it their own

9:57 pm

renfield

i love rock a billy (like gene vincent, collins kids ) old cowboy songs - like red river valley. on rfd tv they show pop goes the country and porter wagonner

9:58 pm

torgone

Allison Krause is one of my faves - angelic voice ..

9:58 pm

Babbler

k d lang started off singing country. one of her albums is an absolute favourite of mine, I just adore it. It's very country. It's called Shadowland.

9:59 pm

GreyWoulf

It can also be used to describe some of the earlier formulaic country out there which put the truth into the old joke -- "What happens when you play a country album backwards?"

"You get your dog back, you get your car back, you gat your girl back"

9:59 pm

Babbler

Gram Parsons and Emmylou Harris.......... *drifts away*

9:59 pm

licketySplitAUS

keith urban... aussie/kiwi cross breed engaged to Nicole Kidman (allegedly) and a country singer with an ill reputed past of drugs/alcohol etc... but really cute and looks very femine

10:00 pm

renfield

have you ever listened to sid straw? she played the math teacher in pete & pete

10:00 pm

Babbler

GW - what you trying to do? make me smile? not gonna
*crosses arms*

10:00 pm

Yoink

My favourite country/country rlated music is: Laura cantrell, the Handsome Family, Neko Case, Bonnie Prince Billy/Will Oldham/Palace, the anamoanon and of course Johnny Cash

10:01 pm

Babbler

Johnny Cash... have you heard him sing that Nirvana song? Breathed a different life into it.

10:01 pm

GreyWoulf

not even a little, Babbler?
I see the smile peeking out there....

C'mon... let it out and I'll give you another hug ;)

10:01 pm

licketySplitAUS

well..... Austrailan Country Music is... well.... scary!!

10:02 pm

Babbler

no

*pouts and sulks*

10:02 pm

renfield

will the circle be unbroken - cash & carter

10:02 pm

licketySplitAUS

"There was a red back (spider) on the toilet seat when I went out last night'.... whatever!!

10:02 pm

dlfox

Also when playing your country music backwards...
You get out of prison
your dog comes back to life

10:03 pm

renfield

lickety was that a song ....or for real???

10:03 pm

Babbler

I think country music is just folk music..... and I love that too.

10:03 pm

GreyWoulf

Johnny Cash is a country god and though many may not realise it, in many ways can also be described as perhaps the original goth (at least that's what some of my more musically educated friends say)

10:04 pm

Yoink

Renfield, nice! My two favourites are his 2 prison albums, San Quentin and the best one: Folsom prison

10:04 pm

licketySplitAUS

ren.... for real!! YES!

10:04 pm

renfield

difox - that is funny as well

10:05 pm

Babbler

yikes, lickety!

GW - now you mention it, Johnny Cash is a bit goth..

10:05 pm

renfield

i like the train songs too

10:05 pm

licketySplitAUS

'Red Back on the Toilet Seat' is a song from Austrailan Country Music!!! Very sad and not good!!

10:05 pm

renfield

goth is good -

10:05 pm

Babbler

I love goth.

10:05 pm

torgone

One . .lousy . . word . . .
bi6/27 . .
. .

10:06 pm

Babbler

tor - you know three cornered hats? tri co4?
make it a two cornered hat.....

10:06 pm

GreyWoulf

Babbler - folk and country are actually two very distinct genre's so that could explain why the Woody Guthrie was hard for you to get into

10:06 pm

renfield

bi + what you eat that's on a cobb

10:07 pm

Babbler

ahaaa, now that makes sense, GW. I'm going to give Woody another try as I know he has influenced so much of what I love.

10:08 pm

torgone

I saw that right when you posted . .
Thanks, Babb-a-lab!
You're a luv, Luv!

10:08 pm

renfield

let's go riding in the car car - woody sang to the depression era
how about bob wills

10:08 pm

Babbler

there was a fantastic doc series on BBC2 a couple of years ago, about the history of country music. they mentioned a family who kind of started it all. I really like them. Very famous, but I can't recall their name.

10:09 pm

renfield

Carter family?

10:09 pm

GreyWoulf

Babbler - he is also the father of Arlo Guthrie, who is one of my favorite folk singers

Pete Seeger too :)

10:09 pm

Babbler

y/w tor.

*not smiling* : /

10:09 pm

Yoink

Fave folk artists: Sufjan Stevens, Joanna Newsom, Devendra banhart (who has the best name ever)

10:09 pm

Babbler

yes! the Carter Family

10:10 pm

torgone

Why not??

10:10 pm

renfield

june carter cash
tom paxton ?

10:10 pm

Babbler

Devendra is well funny, Yoink! He was on Jools Holland's show once, did you see? Made me laugh.
Don't know the other two names you mention....

10:11 pm

Babbler

cos I'm under a cloud, tor.... and it's gonna start raining...

10:11 pm

evanonut

hey, just got back from christmas eve.

10:11 pm

GreyWoulf

Of course, there is lots of music out there that I lvoe but I couldn't tell you who they are or the names of the songs because I am very bad with that sort of info -- I only can remember the names of the artists whose albums/CDs I owned at one time or another :D

10:12 pm

Babbler

I know what you mean, GW. There are lots of names I'd love to mention right now, but I just can't remember them.

10:12 pm

Babbler

you back from the future, evan?

10:12 pm

renfield

me too

10:13 pm

Yoink

Babs, I didn't see that, i rarely see Jools' show as i tend to be out on sat nights. They are both worth checking out, Joanna Newsom is a solo singer songwriter who maninly plays harp. I saw her live in Hay-on-Wye last year and she was amazing. Sufjan Stevens is a multi-instrumentalist and has written 2 amazing albums based on states of the US, Michigan and Illinois. He is one of my current favourites

10:13 pm

renfield

evan did you go to a prty?

10:13 pm

Babbler

has Sufjan had a CD come out recently? I think I saw a top review of it.

10:14 pm

evanonut

indeed ren i did. came back with a box full of christmas socks too...score!

10:14 pm

Babbler

I love the harp. I'd like Joanna Newsom.

10:14 pm

Yoink

Yes, his Illinois album was a recent release, it is fairly stunning imo

10:14 pm

renfield

real socks? like the kind that keep your feet warm?

10:15 pm

Babbler

the sunday times gave it 4 or 5 stars (out of 5). I hadn't heard of him. I'll listen out. Send me a mail on Last with these names on, pls? Then I'll remember them tomorrow!

10:15 pm

renfield

speaking of harp - where are you harpjane?

10:15 pm

Nonny

Hi all! Just got back from a LONG day of birthday get-together, dance recital and Holiday Party. SO I'm very late at getting to this puzzle. Any help on the last four ba's? 5/14, 6/30, 6/24 and 6/30? Totallly stumped here.

10:16 pm

torgone

Clouds and rain only temporarily obscure our vision of the sun. They don't destroy it. The sun will shine through eventually.

10:16 pm

evanonut

indeed, even a pair with individual tosies! you all have a lovely night. i have a date with my pillow.

10:17 pm

Babbler

thank you, tor, I know. looking forward to. but i need to walk under the clouds or else I'll have a bigger storm on my hands....

10:17 pm

Babbler

nonny - you need to find ba5: A British nobleman of the lowest rank.

then play around with endings for the others.

10:18 pm

renfield

ba 5 = titled person
ba 6/24 = plural of titled person
2nd ba 6/= titled person's possession

10:19 pm

renfield

1st ba 6/30 = titled person w/ a stanGe consonent on the end

10:20 pm

renfield

nite evan - i love the individual tosies

10:20 pm

Yoink

Aww, a song I love has come on, "Wichita Lineman" by Glen Campbell

10:21 pm

renfield

babbler - i still missed what the brandy is tomorrow - is it like the liquid or brandy jack or what we think brandy is like Brandy - you're a fine girl

10:21 pm

GreyWoulf

Hey guys, help with the 1st bo5/14?

Yoink - haven't heard that one in ages!

10:22 pm

Nonny

Thanx all. Got all but the last 6/30. Still working on it. Then on to finding the last 10.....

10:22 pm

torgone

If you know your path, it doesn't matter whether you walk it in the rain or in the sun. You will arrive at the same point.

Holy crap! I'm a philosophical sonofa***** tonight!

10:22 pm

renfield

bo + ni 4 /4- the n

10:23 pm

Babbler

You're talking my lingo, Tor! you're a lovely man. thank you

10:24 pm

GreyWoulf

Thanks ren, and now I am done!!

10:24 pm

Yoink

Babs, reminder message sent

10:24 pm

renfield

torg - i thought you said you were a sonata - i quite agree on the sonata philosophy

10:25 pm

Babbler

is there such a think as a brandy jack, ren? I havent heard of it. Cybernan suggested brandy for tomorrow's theme. I've already seen Sherry's icon - it's a barrel of brandy. I've done a pic of a bottle.

10:25 pm

renfield

way to go wolfie!

10:25 pm

Babbler

congrats, GW!

10:26 pm

Eva

Good evening everyone. Just getting back to the puzzle after a long day and am missing 6. Alms for the addled anyone?

ba 6/ 30- not the royalty ending in y
gn 5/ 14
gn 6/ 24
ni 5/ 14
ni 6/ 24
ra 4/ 5-not the monetary unit

10:27 pm

Babbler

thanks, Yoink. hasnt' appeared yet.... I get a little pop up when emails arrive... : )

10:28 pm

renfield

i thought brandy jack was a sailor's term

10:28 pm

torgone

Don't know if I'm a sonata . . A fugue or scherzo maybe . .

10:31 pm

Yoink

Do you have it set up to e-mail you when you get a message on last? I haven't done that as I never get any

10:31 pm

renfield

ra 4/5 - like someone who is ra* + s - sounds like mad

10:31 pm

Eva

Found the ra!

10:32 pm

Eva

Thanks renfield!

10:33 pm

Babbler

it's set up to my MSN hotmail, Yoink, so I get an email over there as well (hence the pop up). I just replied with my yahoo email address.

10:33 pm

renfield

ba 6.30 = ba 5/14 + stranGe consonent on the end

10:33 pm

Eva

got the gn's too- finally occured to me that the gn4 might have an alternate spelling and plural. DUH

10:33 pm

Babbler

.. but having said that, i didn't get a pop up just now..... dunno what I'm doing.... : /

10:33 pm

renfield

gw - you should do the gn clues

10:34 pm

Eva

That's the ba 6/30 I already have. It seems there's another one, right?

10:35 pm

GreyWoulf

(*Grrowrrr*)

10:35 pm

renfield

ni's is a type of battery then plural
ni^^^ - again sounds like mad

10:36 pm

renfield

2nd ba 6/30 - is the same 5/14 + the sometimes * vowel

10:37 pm

Yoink

Got it and added you Babs :)

10:37 pm

renfield

great wolfie - i could hear that one - wish scatty was here to hear it!

10:37 pm

lshult

morning everyone,
just i to finish.
in a hurry to start work, so i need help.
the first bo5/18 (got the welsh lads)?

10:37 pm

Eva

renfield, you were right the first time - it was the one with the strange consonant I didn't have - but now I do. Now, if I can just figure out the ni battery I'll be done!

10:39 pm

torgone

The batteries are nickel/cadmium.

10:39 pm

Eva

TADA!!!Thanks to you renfield - I can now go to sleep.

10:40 pm

renfield

ok eva - i guess i'm a really goos sleeping pill - or just a pill?

10:41 pm

Babbler

time for me to go now, too.
nite all! ((( hugs to all )))
((Yoinkxxx))

10:41 pm

renfield

wolfie - pbs is suppose to be showing a gratfeul dead movie - but roy's still on ????

10:41 pm

Eva

Not a pill at all! And now of course I'm wide awake- and since it's 11:46 here and I tend to wake at 4am, things don't look so good. Anyone know some good lullabyes?

10:42 pm

of course when the begging is over so will most of the cooler programs :D

10:53 pm

Yoink

Yeah, I will, at some point

10:54 pm

GreyWoulf

LOL, Yoink -- sounds like my thoughts the past week ;)

10:55 pm

Yoink

Sad thing is i have pretty much given up on babbling by this point (reaching 5am here) and am just chatting on here and elsewhere and avoiding bed

10:57 pm

torgone

Chat is good..

10:57 pm

GreyWoulf

Yoink -- that is usually what I end up doing about half the time -- the grid becomes secondary to the chat

10:57 pm

GreyWoulf

chat is very good, torgone :)

10:58 pm

Blaze

finally back to finish my last five words... the little b's

10:58 pm

GreyWoulf

Hi Blaze!

10:59 pm

renfield

i do that sometimes yoink - it's impossible for me to carry on conversations during the work day - my mom has dementia and my dad is hard of hearing - so all of you babblers have become my release 8)

10:59 pm

Blaze

hey gw how is the family ?? oh and my neice made it safely... she is in Lanceister...

10:59 pm

Blaze

ren we are glad to be here for you

11:02 pm

torgone

Babble chat is one of those little things that can be fun sometimes, or a sledgehammer that bashes my errant sanity back into alignment other times.

11:02 pm

GreyWoulf

Blaze - we're doing good -- baby got to make her first snowmen yesterday :)
Glad to here she got in safely -- the storm moved through very quickly -- when I turned in a t 4am it had just started and when I looked out the window at 10am the sun had been shining for an hour or so already

11:02 pm

renfield

thanks blaze - - didn't mean to sound heavy - just a note of appreciation - i do have a fun life

11:03 pm

GreyWoulf

ren - sorry to hear about the home sitch, but glad to be of help!

11:03 pm

Blaze

ren I am raising a grand daughter with mental challenges and BAbble has been a great stress release for me...

11:04 pm

renfield

torg - you are right - i try to steer away from the tense moments - you've got to stay happy -

11:06 pm

renfield

thanks all - my folks are very happy people - my mom grows roses and my dad bakes cookies and reads to my mom - she talks all the time and he just smiles and turns off his hearing aid LOL - they are really cute

11:06 pm

Blaze

sounds like a perfect couple....

11:07 pm

Marc Freeman

Good evening need a clue onca5/12 the first one

11:08 pm

GreyWoulf

Lopoks like we all have our home concerns that make Babble a blessed haven in a world of chaos and stress -- another common link between us all :)

I think this calls for a

((((**GROUP HUG**))))

11:08 pm

renfield

(((((GROUP HUG)))))

11:09 pm

Blaze

yes it does and a clue for the bo 6/27 the first one... please ((((( hugs)))))

11:09 pm

torgone

ren - Reminds me of when my Mom was slipping into Alzheimer's and my Dad was trying to take care of her by himself.

11:10 pm

Yoink

Soz Ren, in and out here. I'm glad if we can provide some light relief from life, it is something which I know that I myself get out of chatting with people here on babble

11:10 pm

GreyWoulf

Marc - ca5/12 - the word can in King Arthur Speak

11:10 pm

Blaze

got that one.... thanks

11:11 pm

renfield

bo 6/27 = bo* voyage + high card - last vowel then add 3rd voel

11:12 pm

Blaze

tee da at last.... thank you....

11:12 pm

renfield

torg - you've got it - besides the cancer she has this dementia - but she mades us laugh all of the time - she got a perm and looks like harpo right now -

11:15 pm

renfield

ok so have ya'll thought about a brandy?one of my grandfather's made strawberry brandy and an uncle made apricot brandy - not for sale -

11:17 pm

torgone

It was kind of good when her child-like, impish nature started to come back out. The definition of bittersweet for me . . .

11:18 pm

GreyWoulf

ren -- what's this about a brandy? was there a thread earlier that I missed?
I admit, I usually don't scan through the log for the day cos I typically don't have time to do through the entire days chat :)

11:20 pm

renfield

gw - i don't know about the thread - i caught the hint of brandy for sunday. I fond a brandy rose

11:21 pm

GreyWoulf

Ah -- as an icon theme, hmmm... I'll have to see what I can come up with

11:21 pm

harpjane

Bread is the Sunday ic4 theme? Then, I must go change!

11:24 pm

harpjane

GrewWoulf used a woooooord, GreyWoulf used a woooord..

11:24 pm

renfield

torg - you're right about the bittersweet - my husband and i driver her around town and we sing show tunes - by the way yoink - she knew frankie - she said he was always very nice to her - he told her she had the bluest eyes he had ever seen - besides his own....

11:25 pm

renfield

harp - is it bread or brandy? to many b words1

11:25 pm

harpjane

ren-a parent with dementia? you're in for a wild, wonderful ride! Don't lose your sense of humor, even when they get their eyeliner pencil mixed up with the laundry pen..... (been there, done that!) Bless your heart.

11:26 pm

GreyWoulf

Yes I did -- chalk it up to having taken a hydrocodone earlier cos I antagonised my herniated disc putting up Xmas lights

11:26 pm

harpjane

I checked Babbler's profile several hours ago and it was bread. Has it changed? Brandy would be a fine theme, too. Let me slip into the profile and check.

11:27 pm

renfield

ok - brandy on sunday bread on monday

11:27 pm

harpjane

Do they have Wiccan lights?

11:28 pm

Yoink

Renfield, from stuff I have read, knowing Frankie could be a good thing or a bad thing. Being on his good side certainly wasn't bad!

11:28 pm

renfield

owwwwooooch wolfie - walk arounds - don;t stay seated to long

11:29 pm

GreyWoulf

lights, like most things, have no particular association other what the viewer applies to them. So the answer to your question, harpjane, is yes ;D

11:31 pm

renfield

my mom has never met a stranger - everyone loves her -she is kind and sweet and pretty - even w/ her harpo hair - so it was a good meeting - she stayed an innocent

11:32 pm

GreyWoulf

I try ren, but I spend the whole day at work on my feet, so I have a tendency to want to just settle once I get home. Especially after Kristianna has gone to sleep since she has no concept of 'Daddy doesn't want to play cos he's tired' :D

11:33 pm

Blaze

well my icon is ready where is the new grid ??

11:34 pm

renfield

sorry - forgot about play time- my neices think i'm 6 & 4 - and that i never need to work when they are around

11:34 pm

GreyWoulf

Awww... It's a Breaddy Bear!

11:35 pm

Blaze

gw -- have you tried a chiropractor ?

11:35 pm

Yoink

Renfield, that reminds me of an expression my mum always used to use with us kids: "A stranger is just a friend you haven't met"

11:37 pm

renfield

yoink - i need to remember that expression - thanks -

11:38 pm

GreyWoulf

Blaze - the real problem I have is that, like so many of my fellow Americans, I have absolutely no money to go to any type of doctor. I still haven't found a 2nd job and my monthly expenses are just barely met each month woth no room for anything else. :(

11:39 pm

harpjane

Brandy it is. Bread is Monday's buddy theme.

11:39 pm

harpjane

Blaze used a woooooord, Blaze used a wooooord

11:40 pm

renfield

gw - do you mind me asking what field you are in?

11:42 pm

tonyv

I need some help on my last 4:

to5/14
thank you so much

11:43 pm

GreyWoulf

ren - I work for Lenscrafter's as a Lab Tech -- I make glasses -- I am trying to find something else to get out of the retail market but am having difficulty because I don't seem to have any of the skills that most places are looking for these days. (I have never been good at fudging info in my favor to look better than I am) I feel it is the curse of an unfocussed life

11:43 pm

Christa

hello everyone... my sister and i are playing together tonite..in the same room... should be able to finish for the first time in 13 months

11:45 pm

torgone

Hi Christa!

11:45 pm

mas

toniv- to4/4 I'm getting around to --.

11:46 pm

lapineneuve

can anyone help with TO 5/16?

11:47 pm

renfield

gw - i understand - i read 100's of resumes each month - and i'm a pro at interviewing - i know some recruiters on the east coast in the scientific arena

11:47 pm

Yoink

Hi Christa and sista :D

11:47 pm

torgone

mas - You got married when you were 5??

11:47 pm

GreyWoulf

to5/16 -- a lackey is also know as a to***

11:48 pm

mas

It feels like it sometimes but I was 20.

11:49 pm

harpjane

tonyv ca5--a substitute for chocolate

11:49 pm

torgone

Read your bio ..

11:49 pm

harpjane

tonyv on to4, take the breakfast minus a letter and reverse the last two letters

11:50 pm

harpjane

or 5/14, think ape

11:50 pm

GreyWoulf

thanks, ren -- science is a reading hobby with me -- it fascinates me, but I never had the discipline to properly attend classes in college -- long story behind that, will not go into that here -- but that is the real reason why I have been a retail slave for the past 17 years

11:51 pm

harpjane

or 5--take a fruit and leave off the last letter

11:51 pm

SueL

Can I please have a clue of bo 8 please.........

11:52 pm

GreyWoulf

bo8 - bo4/6 + ci4/5

11:52 pm

harpjane

bo 8- "A mineral of a white or gray color occurring massive and in isometric crystals; in composition it is a magnesium borate with magnesium chloride."

11:52 pm

renfield

gw - nothing wrong w/ retail - without retail where would the shop til you drop be?

11:53 pm

mas

Thanks Torgone. I only wish I was 35 again, must have been wishful thinking.

11:55 pm

tonyv

i need the last ca5, i've got the candy, wooden house, carnival, antonym of can, and the two words that start with an automobile. can someone please help me

11:55 pm

SueL

Thank you both so very.......very.....much

11:56 pm

GreyWoulf

true, ren -- however, the retail companies are getting much more greedy these days -- they're cutting staff while demanding more productivity and not giving any rewards for higher work performance. Therby making it impossible for a loyal employee to support his family.

11:57 pm

torgone

Whatever. Just seemed kind of odd - 35 years old, married 30 years? Not an issue. That's just me. You'll get to know me if you hang around a bit . .

11:58 pm

harpjane

There are three ca 5's that start with automobile.

11:58 pm

renfield

gw - i know - it hurts....

11:59 pm

renfield

tonyv do you have the ca*** = tin ca* + abbre for street

12:00 am

tonyv

yes
