Just drink one glass of water for each drink and you won't even have a hangover when you stop :D

12:17 am

12:27 am

Dachef

Some people just dont understand.

STUPID GAME!!... Go slap em... HARD...lol

12:28 am

Jacula

Was just trying 'trippy' but it's not there. GRRR!

12:29 am

Jacula

Dachef - Just had something like that myself but it was a wordless one. Same thing though. What's that song... 'Don't worry... ' etc.?

12:32 am

Blaze

Hail and hello to all....

12:32 am

Jacula

Still think Dr_God should give us the edit/delete option for posts on the log though!

12:32 am

Schroeder

Hi Blaze, how is your little?

12:33 am

Debs40ish

Morning Blaze...

12:34 am

Blaze

schro.... she has slept most of the day... I am sure that sleep is the best thing for her right now... her lip is still a mess though... I need some old time remedies for healing fever lips.....

12:34 am

Dachef

Jacula - why?

12:35 am

Debs40ish

d7/36

12:37 am

harpjane

Hello! Favorite album covers.

12:37 am

Jacula

Dachef - because sometimes we make silly spelling mistakes, sometimes we say daft things, and sometimes we speak truths that can be read that may bde should not be... either by partners or by bosses or by journalists etc.

For me, it's just being able to correct somehing, esp. if a clue that I've got wrong somewhere along the way.

12:38 am

Jacula

See what I mean? LOL!

12:39 am

Blaze

whew have the q's nailed to the word tree.....

12:39 am

Jacula

Harp, me dear, it's been 'Hello album covers for me for 6 & a half hours+ now. LOL.

12:39 am

Q

I think the Qu should be worth more points.

12:40 am

Schroeder

I glad to hear that she is able to rest, I wish I knew a clever remedy that worked, but hopefully someone here will....

12:40 am

Dachef

Jacula - but surely its the speeling misstakess that make us all human? We all have little quirks and isiosyncrasies - one of the best things about the log (for me personally) is that it quite often reflects those little quirks and personalities. Its what makes it so much fun?

12:41 am

Debs40ish

I admit I am a quirk!.......

12:42 am

Debs40ish

And I can only just about say the other word let alone spell it!

12:42 am

Blaze

Jac and dachef.... I am not sure if they are spelling mistakes or typing mistackes....

12:43 am

Dachef

if everyone was perfect, then everyone would be like me, and that wouldn't be any fun......

;)

12:43 am

Debs40ish

Blame the keyboard Blaze.....

12:43 am

Jacula

Schroe - no idea what is wrong with your child's lips but if it it swelling and/or bruising, then try Arnica or Witch-hazel.

12:43 am

Debs40ish

lol@chef

12:45 am

Blaze

Jac.... actually it is my grand daughter... she has been having high fevers which are under control but has fever blisters... have been trying rescue remedy.... but they are still looking very nasty and swollen....

12:45 am

sprite

Hi Blaze, how's the little one?
Sorry I had to leave you guys alone for a while. My kids can be SO unreasonable. They wanted some of my time, of my attention and they even wanted BREAKFAST!

12:45 am

Jacula

Dachef - rofl (really) and it ain't no good for my middle-aged bones to do such a thing, not to mention the fact that it disturbed (and p'd off) my partner and 2 'Kids' (nearly 19 and nearly 21) when I did so!

12:46 am

Blaze

Sprite she is mostly sleeping... I giggle when we call her a little one... she is 5' 8" with a slight body.....

12:47 am

sprite

LOL!
That's quite a little one :)

12:47 am

Schroeder

Blaze no mattet how big they get they will always be our little ones.....:)

12:47 am

Blaze

Only when she is sleeping quietly.... LOL

12:47 am

Jacula

Did I say 'nearly 21' for the eldest? I should have said 'nearly 22'. Omigod! Where DO the years go??

12:48 am

Blaze

Scho... how true

12:48 am

harpjane

I know Jac, it's still yesterday here, though!

12:49 am

Jacula

Thank you, Harp. Now I've got the damnd Carpenters' song on my brain jukebox - Yesterday Once More.

12:50 am

Dachef

I feel like a schoolboy at a teachers meeting. You all have kids my age. OMG!

Actually, its quite good! I havent felt this young in ages. Anyone else up for a misty prance through a field of daffodils?

12:51 am

sprite

Always, Dachef. And my little ones are still somewhat little (don't let them hear it), they are 9 and almost 8. :D

12:51 am

Chessy

morning all :)
dachef - I'm up for a bit of prancing ...

12:51 am

sprite

Ha Chessy!

12:51 am

Jacula

Suddenly, Dachef has become William Wordsworth!

12:53 am

sprite

Thought he always was?

12:53 am

Dachef

Jacula - thats always what happens when you stay up all night drinking! I do a lot of writing, and the best stuff always comes out at 6 am just after I build a tower of lager cans from floor to ceiling!!!!!!

12:53 am

Debs40ish

Had to go and drag Damian reincarnated out of bed.. bless her!

12:53 am

Hugabugs

If anyone hasn't mentioned it yet... t7/28 and t7/36

12:54 am

Blaze

debs... god bless you....

12:54 am

sprite

And you, Debs :)
Dachef, guess I usually catch you at this hour, lol.

12:54 am

Jacula

Dachef - control yourself! You have to be Dylan at the very least! LOL. *Note to self - must find Dorothy Wordsworth's poem she meant to write if her brother didn't interrupt her so often. I know it's in my computer somewhere.....*

12:54 am

Debs40ish

I've lost track Hugs...

12:54 am

Dachef

"give a poet a pen, and he will write. Give a poet a bottle of wine, and he will inspire....."

12:54 am

sprite

They have been mentioned, Hugs, and I believe there are at least 2 T7/28's.

12:55 am

sprite

"Give a poet a deadline, and he will expire..."

12:55 am

Debs40ish

I can't be a poet then.. Give me a bottle of wine and I'd be comatose!

12:56 am

Jacula

Dachef - you must tell my present life's partner this.

12:57 am

Jacula

Poets and writers work best when left in peace after being under pressure.

12:57 am

hootowl

Hey jac - if it makes you feel better, I'm just now drinking that Gunness. Temps perfect!
And 97 words already.

12:57 am

Jacula

They think all the stuff and even try to write it whilst under pressure, but they can't always remember or read what they wrote...

12:58 am

sprite

D7/36?
And that's my 100 :)

12:58 am

Jacula

71 words so far on this grid.

12:59 am

Jacula

Hoot - you're a good few words ahead of me then! Well done, you!

Debs40ish

c7/36

1:02 am

sprite

"I close my eyes
only for a moment and the moment's gone...
Mmm..mmm... in the wind...."
Today's grid is something like a jukebox, puts an earworm in my head every other word.

1:03 am

sprite

Another one, Debs?

1:03 am

Dachef

gonna go for brekkie - wake up the multitudes scattered all over the living room. Be good y'all! And god luck! I'll be back when I've recovered, but probably not so verbose!

1:03 am

Debs40ish

Cya Chef... enjoy & take care :)

1:04 am

sprite

God luck to you too, Dachef :)
And enjoy breakfast.

1:04 am

Debs40ish

There are 3 c7's

1:04 am

Schroeder

Bye Dachef, a have a good breakfast

1:05 am

sprite

Yes, 2x 28 and 1x 36. Had been mentioned already, I wondered if there were 2 C7/36.

1:06 am

Jacula

And now, due to the 'in the wind'clue, I've got The Champion Moaner of the 20th Century in my ears now, Bobby D.... you all know what song!

AAARGH!

1:06 am

Debs40ish

Just ignore me Sprite... I've lost the plot..

1:07 am

sprite

nm Debs, I have all the Cs now and am not wondering anymore :)

1:09 am

hootowl

Well I shouldn't have stayed on so long. Didn't do what I needed to do so i'll be up for an hour finishing. Not sure I'll be on tomorrow night. Have a good one everyone. Good night.

Unicorn

LOL

1:16 am

Jacula

*Mutters to self. Bob Dylan songs are almost as awful as Leo Cohen songs. Donovan songs are better! (Smiles a little now.) Shall we all talk about Clifford T. Ward songs? He was an English teacher and it showed in his lyrics. He's gone from us on this plane now, but I woul d never fault his lyrics..

1:17 am

Debs40ish

I'm always OK Unicorn... then some "other" always spoils it.....lol

1:26 am

Debs40ish

5:45 am

Atalante

I have to say - sorry lola - they were *fabulous*. Just wonderful wonderful wonderful

5:45 am

Babbler

Atalante, I recognise yours..... but remind me anyway! (sleepy-befuddled brain here) : )

5:45 am

lola100

Oh yoink, are you a mazzy star fan??

5:45 am

miametro

morning lola :) finding this quite a sticky puzzle today, haven't found many words!

5:45 am

Babbler

of course, Yoink. I recognised it. Didn't you recommend that to me?

5:46 am

Babbler

hi mia : )

5:46 am

lola100

mia, just relax into it and the words will start appearing ; )

5:46 am

Atalante

its James - I cheated a bit and have got their "Best of" album, because I couldn't decide which of all their others to choose! And I like the daisies.

5:48 am

Yoink

Lola, I sure am! I adore Hope Sandoval's voice, so dreamy and ethereal

Babs, yes, I recommended it a while back

5:49 am

Babbler

thought so, Yoink. It's in my wish list in amazon..... one day..... : )

5:49 am

lola100

yoink, I love the stuff I've heard and have always meant to track more down. It has been added to my list! : )

5:50 am

miametro

blimey, there's a very naughty word in the puzzle today!

5:51 am

lola100

mia, two actually....don't forget your plural! : )

5:51 am

Eva

Good morning Atalante-have the u8, but can't find th re8-am going around in circles. Any nice hints for the mentally slow?

5:52 am

lola100

Hi eva : )

5:52 am

Babbler

hi Eva! : ) use your eyes..... ;)

5:52 am

miametro

any help with the u's?

5:53 am

Eva

Hi lola! Have to change my icon, but really don't have a "favorite" album. Have loved so many of them. Have to think.

5:54 am

Atalante

Tis a stupid word Eva - take the re4/4 and stick a muddled word version of an angry i4/4 on the end

5:54 am

Babbler

is the theme what your favourite album looks like?
or is it the album cover you most admire??

mine's the cover art I most admired. : )

5:54 am

lola100

eva, I know what you mean! I have a few others I might put on later too : )

5:55 am

Eva

There are several r4/4's-do you mean the one for an apartment?

5:56 am

Eva

Got it! Is it french or what?!

5:56 am

Atalante

oh sorry - the one you have to pay to live somewhere

5:57 am

Atalante

no idea! sounds french though, doesnt it?

5:57 am

lola100

mia, un plus: what you pay monthly for accomodation, what you do when you are tired, 'put in the post', and what jelly has to do before you can eat it! : )

5:58 am

lola100

....and the us4/5 is another term for a drug taker : )

6:00 am

Yoink

What is your album Babs?

6:00 am

Unicorn

how many words are on the grid today?

6:00 am

miametro

still can't get that re 8 :/

6:01 am

Babbler

it's Japan, 'Gentlemen Take Polaroids'. It was my first favourite album cover. : ) (I might change later too!)

6:01 am

lola100

193 today, unicorn : )

6:01 am

Babbler

Unicorn - 193 today

6:02 am

Unicorn

thank you

6:03 am

Eva

The re8 is indeed French and it is someone who lives off of monthly income. Hope that helps.

I really couldn't think of a favorite album cover-could have gone back to ones of childhood, but it wasn't the covers I loved, but the insides. So I chose an album I would never be without...the unaccompanied cello suites of Bach. It's a toss up between Yoyo Ma and Pablo Casals.

6:03 am

miametro

ah, found it, finally!

6:06 am

Atalante

yay mia!

6:17 am

Eva

44 left. Cat/stove time feed/stoke time.

Atlante, you'd think he'd be pretty easy, he always seemed pretty 1 dimensional to me in the star wars movies...

6:33 am

Yoink

Hi Deutsch :)

6:33 am

lola100

*sings* 'Cos I've run every red light on memory lane, I've seen desperation explode into pain...and I don't want to see it again...

6:33 am

lola100

Hi deutsch! : )

6:33 am

Babbler

*leans over with box of tissues for Lola* awwww! : )

6:34 am

Atalante

he's got a weird face though - there's just a few bits that aren't quite normal - I mean easy to draw - I can never get his eyes *quite* right

6:34 am

Deutsch

Album covers, eh? I just typed in one of George Carlin's 7 dirty words. I think I better clean up my act and find an album cover.

6:35 am

Babbler

oh, I had some more ideas for themes!

Movie Posters
Household objects

aye?

6:35 am

lola100

*lola grabs tissue from babs, blows nose and then proceeds to play air guitar....*

Just stopping in for a quick lunchtime babble break, can anyone help with a clue for the 1st se6/27?

7:15 am

Deutsch

Hi Fmitch, it's breakfast time here!

7:16 am

FMitch

Hey Deutsch
... and somewhere it will be dinner time too, don't you love all these time zones!

7:17 am

Deutsch

Yeah, yesterday someone was going for a cocktail, and I had to check the time. seemed early for me, but was actually happy hour for her!

7:18 am

FMitch

East coast perhaps Deusche?

7:18 am

Deutsch

fmitch, Is that tubular bells?
Exorcist movie?

7:18 am

EvaNadine

*perks up*
im on the east coast.
:)

7:19 am

Deutsch

Yes, evanadine and I are from the same area in the east coast.

7:20 am

Jen

morning everyone!

7:20 am

Deutsch

I live in Baltimore, Maryland

7:20 am

EvaNadine

mornin jen -- yet another east-coaster!

7:20 am

Deutsch

Hi Jen!

7:20 am

Jen

from the same 75 mile radius! :)

7:20 am

FMitch

Hi eva!
yes it's tubular bells - couldn't choose one fav album cover for todays theme as so many but at least this one is fairly clear to view :)
Thought you must be, workd for US Co's for many many years east & west cost so got used to the time differrence.

7:21 am

EvaNadine

deutsch -- i guessing ive probably asked you this before -- which part of bmore do you live in?

7:22 am

Deutsch

Evandine, Can't remember if you asked. LOL
I'm in Butcher's Hill, about a 15 minute walk from Fells Point and, going the other way, about 15 minutes from the Harbor.

7:23 am

EvaNadine

ooh, how very convenient!

7:24 am

EvaNadine

my BF lives in bmore county (rosedale, kinda near white marsh) but i think he kinda fears bmore city...hehe...
i live in crofton, about 20-30 minutes south of the city and i know it better than he does!

7:24 am

Jen

Sadly, I know nothing of Baltimore. One of these days, we'll get up there for more than just a baseball game.

7:25 am

Deutsch

Yeah, it's fun living in the city. I grew up in a small town. But city life is for me!

7:26 am

EvaNadine

jen -- theres a girl who used to work in my office who lives out near rosslyn or arlington (she moves around a lot...heh)
she + her BF took a "big vacation" when she worked here -- they bought amtrak tickets and travelled to baltimore for the weekend so they could go to the aquarium...hah

*eye roll*

7:26 am

Deutsch

Baseball? The have baseball in bmore? Sadly, I'm not much of a sports fan.

7:26 am

inge

FMitch, try another word for next showing or installment

7:27 am

Jen

Oooh, sounds terribly exotic! And to think we were thinking of doing a Bahamas cruise this summer... no way now! lol

7:27 am

EvaNadine

seriously -- amtrak to baltimore.
DUH!

7:29 am

Deutsch

I have a county friend who thinks everyone in bmore drives renta wrecks because we live in the city. Not really clear on that thought.
fmitch, why don't you come over to the east coast for a visit?

7:29 am

FMitch

ingle - thaks for that but unless I am missing somethings that is the last se6 not the 1st one.

7:30 am

Jen

My hubby grew up in a small town in north Florida... going to the city meant going to Pensacola.

7:31 am

FMitch

Would love to Deusche, only been to Boston a couple of times, know west coast best, still have loads of air miles left from the pre 911 days when we travelled at the drop of a hat. Not so keen on it now.

7:32 am

EvaNadine

ok all, its my breakfast time!
be back in a bit!

7:33 am

Later evanadine!

hello, how you getting on today neets/ daddy how many words today please?

7:34 am

rosalind230

Hi 193 words today good luck

7:34 am

Deutsch

I agree fmitch. I haven't flown since 9/11 but only because I don't like the lines and taking off my shoes. We like to drive across the country visiting relatives and strange sites.

7:37 am

mummy

thank you rosalind

7:38 am

I have to run. Be back in a bit!

7:39 am

7:40 am

7:41 am

neats

hello mummy, only up to 90 words but only been on half and hour, hoe you doin? did merv have a good bday?

7:42 am

EvaNadine

nothing exciting today -- cereal it is...
but at least they had unopened milk cartons today!
*woohoo!!*

7:42 am

mummy

Hi Anita only got 50 so far, b'day was good, went to Indian, must get together and play that game

7:43 am

Jen

Woo! Fresh milk! :) Mine wasn't much more exciting, whole grain English muffin with a wedge og Laughing Cow cheese.

7:44 am

neats

everyone in the office is into babble now!
oh and i am no longer know as love, i have the signed paperwork at last!!

7:45 am

mummy

that was quick - does that mean it's official?

7:46 am

EvaNadine

anything with cheese is yummy in my book!

i was complaining to someone (i think it was babbler?) last week about the fact that people here will open the milk cartons in the refrigerated case to pour milk on their cereal + put back what they dont use...it drives me nuts because i dont want milk from an opened carton, but these people are too cheap to buy a whole carton!
so when they restock, its an exciting day in sami-land
hehe

7:47 am

Jen

Yeah, I remember the convo and totally understand. You never know where other people's fingers have been.

7:47 am

neats

yes all official as of yesterday! I couldn't stop smiling all evening, just waiting for the abosolute to go through

7:48 am

EvaNadine

i just dont understand the mentality.
in college, they had a milk machine, so you could take what you wanted.
thats fine.
but if it comes in a carton, you buy a whole carton!
*le sigh*

7:49 am

mummy

yuk, can't stand milk at the best times... much better with a nice glass of red wine

7:49 am

EvaNadine

mummy -- not sure red wine goes with my honey-nut cheerios...hehe

7:50 am

Jen

When I was working, there was no community stuff except the coffee. We all labelled all of our stuff.

7:50 am

mummy

might be worth a try evan, liven up brekkie!

7:51 am

FMitch

honey nut cherios and champagne, I can imagine that! lol

7:51 am

EvaNadine

not much community stuff here either -- this is in the cafeteria where you hafta pay for it.

it makes me curious if/how much the cashiers charge for people who put milk in their cereal.
personally, i think they should charge for a whole carton.
and if youre already gonna pay for it, why not just take the whole thing??

7:51 am

EvaNadine

heh, i have yet to consume inside the office...
but i have gone out a few times for liquid lunch!

7:52 am

mummy

neats, must get a look at your word list, I still have only 59, and congrats on your new name.

7:52 am

Jen

Where my hubby works, they keep a bottle of vodka up in the freezer at all times. :)

7:53 am

EvaNadine

*gets out pen and pad*
where does your hubby work again jen?

;)

7:53 am

mummy

Yuk, Vodka, got absolutely blotto on that aged 17 - haven't touched the stuff since

7:53 am

Jen

When I was teaching there were many times I wished we had one too!

7:54 am

9:32 am

Jera

How goes the grid today? Not too big, but is it a toughy?

9:33 am

harpjane

So far it's not hard, Jera.

9:33 am

FMitch

Hi ch1212 - it is indeed!

9:33 am

9:52 am

FMitch

Hi tbear, Bridge over Troubled Water - great songs, not sure which icon you are seeing for me now as I just changed from Tubular Bells to Pink Floyd. Thinking about it I still have all my albums!

9:53 am

Uneaixoise

ah, tbear . . . it was a tie

9:53 am

EvaNadine

*flinches*
im awake!

9:54 am

tbear

Was still looking at Tubular Bells...which was digitally remastered in 2004...incidentely! Talking Pink Floyd, Dark Side of the Moon is another one with great memories of youth....have you heard 'DUB side of the moon'....really cool

9:56 am

Angelsong

need help with the second re6/18, please...

9:56 am

jonboy

This is F****ing hard!!

9:57 am

lola100

10:03 am

tbear

10:05 am

lola100

tbear, will keep that in mind! Remind me to give you the money for the tickets...lol! : D

10:16 am

Hi Dim,

hi renny - you're in the grid!

10:19 am

lola100

Hi ren : )

10:19 am

Jen

Hey everyone, back form the gym! How are all you wonderful people?

10:19 am

Deutsch

Hi ren,
I'm not doing well. I still have 133 words to go.

10:20 am

lola100

Hi jen! Ready to do battle with the re's?? : )

10:20 am

Deutsch

Hi Jen, I just got back, too. But not from the gym. LOL

10:20 am

Jen

Deutch, if it makes you feel any better, I still have 107 (including all the re's)

10:20 am

dimwit

Ah, got my work cut out then. What's with all the fancy icons? they weren't there before!

10:20 am

EvaNadine

57 left to go here.
:)

10:22 am

FMitch

things have changed a bit dimwit. You can pay a one off sum and you get upgraded to pro which give you a stats panel and the chance to show flag etc.
Also if you go to the link on the right (avainable to everyone) Babblers Anon and then go to general and stats you will see the breakdown posted for todays grid

10:24 am

dimwit

Sounds good, I'll explore..........

10:36 am

Jera

Well, I gotta break with 79 to go... a bit slow for me today for some reason... not enough caffeine, perhaps. Back later (I hope)!

10:37 am

Deutsch

Bye Jera, Slow for me, too. I have 123 to go.

10:38 am

mab

Hello babblers one and all.

My icon is of the first album I ever bought as a wee child, Joni Mitchell, Ladies of the something. The other was one of the first Simon and Garfunkel -- I was a brooding child.

10:39 am

Deutsch

Hi Mab!

10:40 am

mab

Hi Deutsch! How are you post-upper GI?

10:40 am

lola100

Hi mab! : )

10:43 am

renfield

i say hi to all of you and my phone rings.....hmmmm any connection?

10:44 am

mab

RE and UN - how unfair! And 98 words to go.

10:44 am

Deutsch

my gi was a piece of cake, just like you said, Mab! thanks for the encouragment. I surely needed it.
BTW, nothing serious showed up. but it did answer a few questions.

10:47 am

mab

are you thinking what I'm thining, Ren? (conspiracy! or maybe a babble voodoo curse! We must get that amerian director whose name I've momentarily misplaced on this -- the one who did Apocalypse Now, etc, the insane one.)

10:47 am

EvaNadine

kubrick?

10:48 am

lola100

Er...isn't he..um...dead?

10:48 am

mab

Sounds like relatively good news, Deutsch; I'm so glad!

10:49 am

EvaNadine

kubrick is dead...not sure if he did apocalypse now, though...heh

10:49 am

mab

No, not kubrick, the one who did a film on the kennedy assasination....

10:49 am

renfield

coppola directed

10:50 am

mab

Oh right. This guy is quite famous, dark hair, looks paranoid all the time....

10:50 am

EvaNadine

oliver stone?

10:51 am

mab

YES! Thanks Evana! He is truly insane.

10:51 am

renfield

francis ford coppola

10:52 am

EvaNadine

heh, had to run down the list of directors i could remember!

10:53 am

Deutsch

Movieman, are you out there? We have a discussion with your name written all over it! LOL
Thanks again for the encouragement, Mab!

10:53 am

Lupe613

HI - Hope all the sickies are feeling better today!

10:53 am

EvaNadine

g'dafternoon lupe!

10:53 am

dsp0705

Quentin Tarantino?

10:54 am

lola100

Hi lupe! : )

10:54 am

dsp0705

oops. didn't see that someone already answered but that guy is nuts too

10:54 am

mab

I'm confused on the war films. Coppola, Apoc Now; Kubrick, Full Metal Jacket. Rented the latter but haven't watched it yet. Generational fascination with Vietnam (although I was young.... very young).

10:55 am

Jen

Stone did Platoon

10:56 am

renfield

coppola did apocalypse now....i don;t know about the kennedy assisnation...don;t discuss as i don't want to get knocked off as well....

10:56 am

Jen

If you are talking the movie JFK, that was Stone as well.

10:56 am

renfield

how about the deer hunter?

10:56 am

mab

Tarentino? Insane. Loved the uma and travolta flic though. Where is Movieman when I need him.

10:57 am

Jen

Pulp Fiction was the Travolta/Tarantino movie

10:57 am

lola100

mab, that was pulp fiction : )

10:58 am

renfield

surfing was great in apoc now.....

10:59 am

mab

Thanks Jen. so many misplaced bits of info in my head. Oliver Stone was the one I was originally thinking of.

10:59 am

Jen

Hey, I'm here to help. :)

11:00 am

mab

Saw Lost in Translation by Sofia Coppola last night. Slight, but great acting.

11:01 am

Jen

Slightly more intellectual than what I watched... Herbie Fully Loaded

11:01 am

EvaNadine

i watched sitcoms.... "2 1/2 men"
hehe

11:02 am

mab

Only a little. is that about a flying volkswagen?

Also saw Vera Drake -- brilliant.

11:02 am

Deutsch

I watched surface. It's finally started to come together.

11:02 am

Lupe613

Eva - I love that show!!

11:03 am

Jen

Not flying, but he does have a mind of his own.

11:03 am

EvaNadine

i dont watch it regularly, but i really liked it once i saw it! the commercials dont do it justice -- its highly underrated!

11:04 am

renfield

ok - so mab - oliver stone is directing this grid..is that the orginal statement????

11:04 am

Lupe613

Eva - I've watched since the premiere and you are right - very under-rated. I love it!

11:05 am

EvaNadine

i do get disappointed at the amount of "boobie" jokes they make for charlie, but the kid and the mother are the best parts of the whole show!
that kid is friggin hilarious!

11:05 am

mab

Ok. Back to grid. Remember sitcom My Mother the Car? Dick Van Dyke's brother's mother is reincarnated as a car, talking, meddling, etc. -- now that's screenwriting.

11:06 am

Lupe613

he's a hound (in the show and in real life)- that will never change

11:06 am

Jen

My fav comedy at the moment is My Name Is Earl... LOL hilarious.

11:07 am

EvaNadine

jen - i had wanted to get into earl, but they had put it on at the same time as Lost.
now ive just got too many shows to watch to try another one...heh

11:07 am

Deutsch

Mab, I just watched the trailer for Vera Drake. It may be a little too intense for me. Was it sad?

11:07 am

Lupe613

Haven't watched it yet Jen. I hear production is halted due to Chicken Pox

11:07 am

renfield

mine is monk

11:07 am

Deutsch

Renfield, it's a jungle out there!

11:07 am

Lupe613

My favorite comedy is American Idol!

11:08 am

Jen

I catch Monk in reruns... we watch Numbers at that time.

11:08 am

EvaNadine

renfield -- another one i dont watch regularly, but monk is fabulous!
tony shaloub needs to win every award available!
hehe
hes just a great character actor in general.

11:08 am

Jen

Yeah, Jason Lee got 'em... I guess down for about 4 weeks.

11:09 am

FMitch

Lupe - I was watching American Idol on Sunday - absolutely hilarious on the the bad ones!!!!!!!

11:10 am

renfield

evanadine - i loved tony in men in black

11:10 am

Lupe613

FM - seriously hysterical!! My son and I just lay on the couch and laugh for the entire hour (or two).

11:10 am

EvaNadine

and dont forget his character on Wings!

11:11 am

Lupe613

Eva- I loved his character on Wings.

11:12 am

mab

Loved Monk when I had tv. Loved it.

Vera Drake is psychologically mind-bending, but riveting. Dark but not entirely so; very true to life on emotion, honest.

11:13 am

mab

Tony Shaloub is gorgeous too.

11:14 am

renfield

oh my - i forgot wings!!!!

11:15 am

hurshy

only have a sec but had to say - gorgeous? i don't see it. but i do love monk and i did love wings and antonio.
my favorite part of the monk theme song is "i could be wrong now - but i don't think so!"

11:16 am

renfield

it's a jungle out there....

11:17 am

hebbzy

completely stuck at 136 !!!

11:18 am

11:22 am

renfield

mab!!! where are you taking this!!!! 8)

11:23 am

mab

i'm too wound up. Will try to be quiet. Changed icon to one that's identifiable: Simon and Garfunkel - that's what that last bit was.

11:25 am

renfield

renfield

11:44 am

Naw, Bunny, I was off looking for that last en word.

11:44 am

caitlyn

No they are waiting to see if you are going to give any words today......lol

11:44 am

mab

with that icon, bunny, what did you expect? Scary.

11:44 am

Dachef

FMitch - the album cover from Earth Vs The Wildhearts. British Rock band, who, in the late 90's, were way ahead of their time. Amazing album!

11:45 am

bunnyvicious

I'm never gonna live it down....

11:46 am

caitlyn

Dachef what part of Wales are you from?

11:46 am

Anj

: D

11:47 am

FMitch

caitlyn LOL
bunny - nevermind, we have all done it at least once.

11:47 am

mab

My ex-husband loved pink floyd, but discouraged me from viewing the wall - thought i would go permanently round the bend (as opposed to my periodic forays).

11:48 am

bunnyvicious

Sounds like he was just protecting himself.

11:48 am

Dachef

Caitlyn - Blackwood originally!

Anj - Dont Be Happy, Just Worry.........

11:48 am

Atalante

I love The Wall! It makes me feel relatively sane

11:51 am

Anj

Dachef, I was riding the mile high tide of surprise and oblivion and heard your post : )

Didn't know you were a fan. I though MSPs would your flavour : )

11:52 am

boreetos

hi kids

11:52 am

caitlyn

Hi boreetos

11:52 am

bunnyvicious

Hi boreetos...I'm hungry..brb!

11:53 am

mab

Sounds like my motto dachef (but trying to change).

My ex was ultimately a blockhead, Atalante. Will see Wall one day. Perhaps a cure for me (hopeless depressive); hair of the dog, or something like that...

11:53 am

Deutsch

Hi boreetos!
Hi lurking Anj!

11:53 am

Dachef

Seen them live a few times - really good. Actually met them once in the bar when they were supporting the Almighty - they were really cool and down to earth, and we ended up going to a photo shot with CJ and Ginger! Good times......

11:53 am

Anj

Hi Bor, Hi Deutsch, Hi All.... just popped in while my tea is cooking : )

11:54 am

AAAARGH! Why or why do the Rs torture me so?????? I am done except I missed 3 Rs!!!!

11:55 am

Okay, I've got to go clean up. I am going to the grocery store later. Any requests?

11:56 am

mab

Meat loaf please Deutsch.

11:56 am

Anj

Blimey Dachef, I saw them in Plymouth on that tour... Kerbdog were the other act.

Ginger is playing Highbury Garage with the Sonic Circus on Friday...sort of solo Wildhearts lol.

Right, gotta go eat, BBL : )

11:56 am

bunnyvicious

I need some spicy sausage for my dressing

11:56 am

Lupe613

I need some cilantro Deutsch....

11:57 am

Dachef

Deutsch - Im making a chili - could do with some nachos to go with it. Though not the flavoured ones. Oh yeah, and Im out of milk. And while you're there, some eggs and bacon'd be great. O, and some of those little fairy cakes with the pink icing. That'll probably do it.

11:57 am

caitlyn

Bread for me please

11:57 am

bunnyvicious

Chili sounds good, I never make, don't have a good recipie.

11:58 am

Atalante

you should watch the Wall at some point Mab - its really quite - um - unique. And wonderful. And its even better live!

11:58 am

bunnyvicious

I hope your writing all this down.

11:58 am

Lupe613

What are little fairy cakes???

11:59 am

Jen

Ahhhhhhh, finished! Stupid Re's!!!

12:00 pm

Lupe613

Great job Jen!

WTG Jen

12:00 pm

Yes, bunny, I have your sausage down.
Lupe, I love cilantro!
Caitlyn, I'm getting you whole wheat
Mab, a frozen dinner meatloaf?
Dachef, I'll look for the fairy cakes.
whew, I'll be gone all day. Better get started!

12:00 pm

Off to the quilt store. LAter guys!

12:01 pm

Lupe613

Bye Jen - happy shopping to both you and Deutsch!

Yippee I have finished !!!!!!!!!

12:05 pm

bunnyvicious

Yay Cait!

12:05 pm

bunnyvicious

I only started thirty to forty minutes ago....

12:06 pm

EvaNadine

yay salad for lunch!
:D

12:06 pm

bunnyvicious

It's what I had.

12:06 pm

EvaNadine

heh, me too...
mainly because its what i was craving, but also cause i had a rather unhealthy snack before lunch...hehe

12:07 pm

bunnyvicious

Mine was laziness, left over from dinner last night. Salads are underrated.

12:13 pm

smaller

cu4/6? what a nonfriendly word.
why is that allowed?

12:13 pm

bunnyvicious

I wondered that, must have another meaning...

12:13 pm

Jacula

Hi all. Nice grid today. Salad again tonight but it's so cold here I feel more like eating the Irish stew I'm constructing for tomorrow.

12:14 pm

caitlyn

I agree smaller i didnt even like putting the word in... but yesterday we couldnt use a nice word like santa...

12:15 pm

Minbat

All words that are in our language should be allowed, even if they're offensive. That word has been around since Middle English days, and its roots go back even further. If we want to start censoring, we start on a slippery slope I'm sure we'll regret.

12:16 pm

bunnyvicious

Jac, snag some of Dachef's chili or join Eva and I at the salad bar :)

12:16 pm

Lupe613

picadillo and rice for lunch....

12:16 pm

bunnyvicious

Drooling.....

12:18 pm

Jacula

Bunny - I've got home-made quiche, scotch eggs, coleslaw & potato salad here, plus some cold chicken and the usual salad vegs.

12:19 pm

caitlyn

Hanging head in shame ......sorry Minbat

12:19 pm

bunnyvicious

I'm realizing I'm not a good cook....We had chicken fried steak with mashed potatoes, baby brussels, pinto beans, salad and bread for dinner....

12:19 pm

bunnyvicious

What are scotch eggs?

12:19 pm

EvaNadine

heh, i had a can of beefaroni

12:20 pm

bunnyvicious

LOL

12:20 pm

Lupe613

OOh yeah - good ol'beefaroni!

12:20 pm

Minbat

Oh no, I didn't mean to shame you! I hate it when that word (or others in that league) show up when I'm playing Boggle with my kids! I don't know whether to put it down (to score against them if they do), or pretend I didn't see it. Awkward.

12:20 pm

EvaNadine

isnt scotch eggs basically eggs fried up with sausage?

12:20 pm

Jacula

Bunny - Scotch eggs are hard-boiled eggs wrapped in sausagemeat & breadcrumbs then fried.

12:21 pm

bunnyvicious

Enchilada's tonight, turkey tomorrow, leftover Thursday....

12:21 pm

smaller

HI Jacula!

Minbat- very good points! just a little surprising in the grid

12:21 pm

bunnyvicious

That sounds different....are they good?

12:21 pm

Lupe613

Yummy bunny - except for the turkey (me no like turkey).

12:21 pm

Jacula

Hi Smaller.

12:21 pm

EvaNadine

probably another crap-tacular meal tonight...then the BF is coming over tomorrow night, so ill hafta cook...
probably make either a turkey meatloaf or hawaiian pork chops

12:22 pm

Lupe613

Slimfast bar for dinner tonight - or a salad - can't decide.

12:23 pm

Jacula

Evan - Hawaiian pork chops sound nice. I'd like the recipe for those!

12:23 pm

bunnyvicious

Never would I think to coat boiled eggs and fry them...
Nah, Lupe, load up! Shrimp fajitas! Plenty of guac...yum! My husband hates mexican food, I live for it!

12:23 pm

caitlyn

Salmon with a feta cheese salad for me...

12:24 pm

renfield

i think i'll have air for supper...it's cheaper..and loaded w/ minerals - at least around here it is...8)

12:24 pm

bunnyvicious

I've never been a big fan of feta.

12:24 pm

Schroeder

My house husband is in charge of making dinner, it is always a surprise....

12:24 pm

Lupe613

me no like seafood either..... love the guac though - my avocados aren't ripe yet... it'll have to wait.

12:25 pm

renfield

mine to shro...i think it's fettucini tonight...

12:25 pm

Lupe613

Love cheese - including feta. Hope to make lemon chicken with feta some this this week for dinner (if I remember to thaw chicken breasts).

12:25 pm

bunnyvicious

OK, you don't like seafood or poultry, but you like slimfast bars?

12:25 pm

EvaNadine

jacula -- i just buy bonesless pork ckops + drown them in lawrys hawaiian marinade...hehe
then i bake em

12:25 pm

Lupe613

I don't like turkey - like chicken though.

12:26 pm

bunnyvicious

Ahhhh, and slimfast bars, gotcha!

12:26 pm

Lupe613

the only man in my home is 10 years old - if he cooks it will be both a surprise and a fire hazard.

12:26 pm

renfield

how about some lemon tofu???

12:26 pm

Yoink

HI all

12:27 pm

Lupe613

;-) bunny - gotta trip to Mexico coming up..... don't want to be mistaken for one of the whales.

12:27 pm

bunnyvicious

My mom uses grenadine, concentrated OJ, and pineapple juice on hers and bakes them with the crushed pineapple on top. Don't know if that's the same, but they're pretty good.

12:27 pm

Lupe613

LOL ren!! Have boca burgers and boca chicken patties in the freezer!!

12:28 pm

caitlyn

Im off now...catch you all tomorrow..happy babbling lol x

12:28 pm

Hey, will ya pick me up some real tequila, without the worm?
Hi Yoink!

Jacula

Forget the 'suggested reading' bit! LOL.

12:31 pm

EvaNadine

im a fan of prepackaged and minimal cooking...hehe...i hate cooking.

12:31 pm

bunnyvicious

sounds like alot of work....maybe that's why I don't cook well....

12:32 pm

bunnyvicious

I bake cakes for a living so between that and cooking for seven, it wears pretty thin after awhile.

12:32 pm

Jacula

Ooh! This one sounds nice...

Ginger-rum marinade:
1/2 cup unsweetened pineapple juice
1/3 cup light rum
1/4 cup soy sauce
1 tablespoon grated gingerroot
2 cloves garlic -- minced
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper

Combine all ingredients. Makes about 1-1/4 cups, enough for 1-2 lbs. of poultry or seafood.

12:32 pm

Bugzy

Hi Folks!
Evanadine, I'm with you. Last night it was grilled cheese, tonight lean cuisine for dinner! :)

12:33 pm

bunnyvicious

That sounds more tropical islandy, the other seemed more oriental cooking.

12:33 pm

Lupe613

Cool bunny!!! I love to bake, wish I had time to do it more often and experiment with recipes!

12:33 pm

Schroeder

We are thinking about going somewhere in Mexico for hubby's 50th. I have only been to the Playa de Carmen side..

12:33 pm

Lupe613

Bugzy - my son lives on grilled cheese sandwiches!!

12:34 pm

bunnyvicious

Lupe, have you ever tried out those Wilton character cake pans? They are about $10 a pop and I sell them for $50. Everyone loves them and they are alot easier than they look!

12:35 pm

Bugzy

My guys live on mac and cheese, and tortillas with cheese, and grilled cheese, cheese cubes,....

12:35 pm

Jacula

I'm starving after all this food talk. Time to go and eat, methinks. TTFN.

12:35 pm

EvaNadine

the turkey loaf is about as close sa i come to real cooking...

1-2 pounds ground turkey
one small chopped sweet onion
a few chopped mushrooms
1 cup bread crumbs
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 large egg
a whole lotta kechup
a little bit of honey

mash it all together, bake in a 350-400 degree oven for about 45 minute to an hour.

i usually make 2 when i do it so i get twice the meals for the same amount of work..h.ehe

12:35 pm

Lupe613

Schroeder - I'm going on the Puerto Vallarta side. La Manzanilla is a relatively "undiscovered" town. I'm renting a 2-br beach home for the week. My mom has a house there, but her home is not air conditioned (I can't take the heat). My first time there - though I've been to Puerto Vallarta and love it!

12:36 pm

bunnyvicious

I make meat loaf, but I use ground beef, I like the grease!

12:36 pm

Lupe613

Bunny - I've been wanting to buy them, but am afraid I may not decorate them well.

12:37 pm

bunnyvicious

When they come out of the oven, the outline is baked on, it's like painting by numbers.

12:37 pm

Lupe613

Bugzy - as long as he eats, I'll keep making them. His ADHD medication takes his appetite away - so I just want him to eat ANYTHING!

12:37 pm

EvaNadine

i love my dads meatloaf -- he used ground beef, lamb + something else...

but my BF doesnt eat red meat, so i make do with turkey...play with the recipe now + then to see how i can make it taste...heh...might use a touch of BBQ sauce this time!

12:37 pm

Lupe613

Bunny - hmmmmm, I may cave and buy a few....

12:39 pm

Deutsch

Evandine, I dice a seeded Jalepeno in my meatloaf sometimes. Then top with salsa when the loaf is done.

2:17 pm

bunnyvicious

the st 7/32, add and ending to the st 4/5 before it

2:18 pm

Bugzy

Babble - the st7 is the one who puts those markings on a zebra, and the st6 is a funky past tense of taking your clothes off

2:18 pm

tutti

I must say, I'm no prude but I am deeply offended by the use of the cu word and it's acceptability, especially since some other slang words that are used regularly were not allowed (ie, 'typo') and others I can't think of right now.

2:18 pm

the st 6 is just like the zebra but wirh consonant on end

Bugzy

LOL bunny!! Shart is one of my most favorite slang words!!

2:20 pm

bunnyvicious

Guess you can't pick and choose, each dictionary is different. Technically, typo is an abbreviation and Jedi would be proper...

2:20 pm

Babbler

bunny, what do they mean?

2:21 pm

bunnyvicious

Shart...uhmmm....messy fart
Snarf = huh?

2:21 pm

mab

Thank you bunny, tbear for the du. And well done, bugzy!

2:22 pm

Bugzy

Shart is a contraction of sh** and fart... comes from a movie but I forget which one...

2:22 pm

Babbler

LOL!!! :D

2:22 pm

My daughter says SNAP all the time, some Disney show.

2:23 pm

I use snarf to irritate my husband, comes from Pinky and the Brain cartoon.

2:24 pm

Babbler

first se6/27 pls, anyone? ty

2:24 pm

Vicuna

The cu word, while vulgar, has a long and ignoble history dating back to Chaucer and before. It takes time for words to prove that they have a the staying power to warrant a place int he dictionary, and cu4 has, alas, done so.

2:24 pm

tutti

Bugsy--Along Came Polly

2:25 pm

Bugzy

Se6/27 - add the offensive cu word with a higher value consonant on the end... sounds like 2nd.

2:25 pm

bunnyvicious

Bab - "2nd" but spell with different vowel at end

2:25 pm

Babbler

got it straight off, thanks guys : )

2:26 pm

Bugzy

Thank you tutti, that was it!! Philip Seymour Hoffmans character, it was!

2:26 pm

bunnyvicious

Uh-huh, but isn't bling-bling in the dictionary too? And is there another meaning for that word than the one it brings to mind?

2:27 pm

bunnyvicious

Well, I've quit smoking for New Year, and vowed to curb my sailor talk due to the herd of little ears, so shart and snarf it is!

2:27 pm

tutti

Bugzy-you're welcome. BTW, I love your pic

Bunny, do nicorette chewing thingies work?

2:28 pm

bunnyvicious

Haven't tried them, I tried little nicotine tablets for two days, but I got indegestion, so, cold turkey. After three days, I was OK (meaning past the "kill you all " stage).

2:28 pm

THanks Vicuna...I guess I won't have to boycott Babble...Shame for my boss ;)

Yup, baking is my hobby/extra income.

Of course, I'm not really defending Babble's choices of which words to include and exclude. Some of them certainly surpass my understanding!

You trying to quit smoking Bab? Someone (can't remember who) recommended a self help book by Karl ?, can't remember last name either, but you could probably google it up.

Yep, that was him (I was close). My husband swears by Stonewall and Ariva, little minty pats you stick on your gums, cheaper than a pack of cigs. he quit too, it a wonder we all survived.

2:37 pm

Babbler

who's playing Anj? (like it's gonna mean anything to me!)

4:51 pm

ch1212

Haz, there's nothing better than cranking up the title tune (Graceland) in the car, going really fast on a long, deserted stretch of highway (which we have lots of in Idaho). It's my favorite Paul Simon album.

ch1212

wow, mab, then I don't have that one -- will have to get it. Used to be a radio disc jockey, and worked in classical, country-western and easy listening... oh, and one station that played the best of the 30's, 40's and 50's. So I now have ecletic tastes.

Just had a funny telephone call from a lady concerned that her pet is ill. She said that the vet had thought it had 'Pillow disease' - by a process of elimination we've worked out that she means 'Cushing's disease'

4:59 pm

I think it has to do with the adrenal gland - not a laughing matter for the poor dog, but you have to laugh at some of the mistakes people make. One farmer declared that his ewe needed to have a 'sectarian operation'.

...yes! Just tracked down a 2nd hand copy of Charles de Lint's Memory & Dream : D

5:56 pm

Babbler

was just wondering if you'd done a runner, Anj! :)

5:57 pm

Babbler

is it a book? haven't heard of it. what's it about?

5:58 pm

Anj

...nooo. Bookworming... I've been after that for years. It's probably a dog-eared copy but it was for less than 50% of the bottom market price i've seen 2nd hand

6:01 pm

Anj

He usually centres his story on a town called Newford. It's urban fantasy. 70% real with a 30% twist. Subtle mix of Canadian and European mythology underpins it all. The majority of his books or short stories all feature or mention common characters so it's always like finding an old friend again when you read them : )

6:01 pm

Anj

...$h!t! posted a word... sorry : (

6:02 pm

Babbler

cor!! I think I'd like this! Do you have to start at the beginning? Is there a series?

6:03 pm

Babbler

ssshhh, nobody noticed...... *looks around*

6:03 pm

actually anj you posted 4 words. bad bad bad and thank you LOL

6:03 pm

Anj

Yarrow, Greenmantle, Moonheart, Spiritwalker, Forests of the Heart, The Onion Girl, Someplace to be Flying, The Little Country... those last two are amongst the best books i've read : )

6:05 pm

mab

Anj -- not quite the same thing, but I'm eager to read Phillip Roth's latest; it is about what the world would be like if Charles Lindberg, nazi/hitler sympathizer, had run for pres and won over Roosevelt.

6:05 pm

Babbler

noted, Anj. I'll look out for them! :)

6:05 pm

Anj

lol AK, technically 4 if you try alternate spellings... : )

Anj

Mab, no I haven't. Not sure that it's my cup of tea. I haven't even read Harry Turtledove's World War and Great War books which are alternate history slants. I think it's just the premise doesn't inspire me...

6:16 pm

Anj

Hi Brandyjack. I started with Yarrow, Greenmantle and Moonheart, but he writes so many shorts and has fleshed out the characters/setting so well that it's hard to pinpoint a solid beginning. Try his website:

http://www.sfsite.co m/charlesdelint/

That might help with an order : )

6:16 pm

Babbler

Ren, it WAS Pink Floyd - one of my favourite album cover artworks ever. Now it's Pentangle, one of my fave albums. :)

6:21 pm

Babbler

sings softly:
"nobody loves me, everybody hates me, think I'll go and eat worms!
Long thin skinny ones, big fat juicy ones,
Juicy, juicy, juicy, juicy woooooorms!" :'(

6:21 pm

Anj

Talking books again, it would be hard to call de Lint's work a 'series' He does move away from Newford for some stories, but the style is consistent. There's no one central character either. Each book is off at a tangent and features different residents/denizens. The Little Country is set in Cornwall : )

6:21 pm

renfield

babbler...i have 19 words....if i catch you...you'll think worms!!!! 8)

6:22 pm

brandyjack

Is that Cornwall England or Ontario?

6:22 pm

EvaNadine

- one who attempts

- more lackluster, hackneyed

6:22 pm

hiya, a clue for the first pe 6/21 please...

6:23 pm

Babbler

ren - gulp!! :/

refrain: 'nobody loves me, everybody hates me, think I'll go and eat wooooooooorms'.....

6:23 pm

Brandyjack - England. It's worked around Cornish mythology.

6:24 pm

granadan

One who uses an ink filled writing implement

6:24 pm

EvaNadine

ooh, the "one who attempts" is a plural

6:24 pm

Anj

Granadan, the two bottom left ts are

tr6/18 - those who persevere
tr7/28 - most trivial
...i think : /

6:24 pm

aknitter

are we talking gummy worms here? if we are than i am on board

6:24 pm

Babbler

LOL!! Evanadine! I don't know the rest of the song!! what is it? tell me tell me!! :)

I'm getting a Dell, dudes! Won't arrive for 10 days at the earliest, and hubby's ancient laptop isn't too reliable. See you when the new machine arrives.
Happy Babbling --- will miss the chat! :)

6:59 pm

Babbler

oh, except I do use the stats panel at the top! :D

7:00 pm

Babbler

y/w Peri : )

7:00 pm

renfield

that's a good goal babbler...i do things like that on the weekends...it's fun!!!

7:01 pm

Babbler

I played a lot of sudoku over Christmas, Ren, and it's changed the way I approach the grid, I think. I've noticed a difference, anyway. :)

7:03 pm

renfield

i play marbles.....duh....not a real brainy game - but it sure is fun!!! and i can follow a move plot as well...

7:04 pm

Babbler

Ren - isn't that good hand/eye coordination? And concentration? :D

7:06 pm

renfield

yes....but you don't have to think...well ok you ahve to think some..

7:07 pm

Babbler

sometimes I don't overthink the babble grid. Sometimes I just play instinctively (ie enter words that look like they might be there!). I get loads of juicy words like that!! lol! :D

7:08 pm

renfield

me too...but they don't all work!!!! then i turn my head sideways...then the other way... like mama b taught us..

7:09 pm

Babbler

do you ever get a little voice at the back of your mind suggesting a word, but you can't see, then you enter it anyway, and it's accepted??? ! :)

7:10 pm

renfield

not yet babbler...i don;t think i;m in that plane yet...i get a cat on my head....but i don't believe it's the same thing...my chakas aren't aligned w/ anything....8(

7:12 pm

Babbler

LOL!! aligned chakras!! :D:D

7:12 pm

7:13 pm

renfield

even mab knows....maybe i ummmed when i should have ommed...???

7:16 pm

mab

A few years ago I saw Dr. Wu, an acupunturist. Before he asked or did anything, he told me all my chi is in my head. Apparently it should be nicely distributed thoughout the body. I told him I only use my body to get my head from one place to another. My chi's all screwed up.

7:20 pm

7:54 pm

monpazier

That song has never sounded the same to me since it was butchered so badly as a karioke in " My Best Friend's Wedding"......Cameron Diaz sounded like fingernails on a chalk board.

Niamh

I don't think I've read that one... I don't recognize it

8:41 pm

Niamh

children's book?

8:42 pm

Angelsong

first tr 7/28 and tr 7/36?

8:43 pm

EvaNadine

actually no

from amazon.com:
Ella Minnow Pea is a girl living happily on the fictional island of Nollop off the coast of South Carolina. Nollop was named after Nevin Nollop, author of the immortal pangram,* â€œThe quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.â€ Now Ella finds herself acting to save her friends, family, and fellow citizens from the encroaching totalitarianism of the islandâ€™s Council, which has banned the use of certain letters of the alphabet as they fall from a memorial statue of Nevin Nollop. As the letters progressively drop from the statue they also disappear from the novel. The result is both a hilarious and moving story of one girlâ€™s fight for freedom of expression, as well as a linguistic tour de force sure to delight word lovers everywhere.

8:44 pm

Niamh

sounds fun!! I'll have to look out for it

8:46 pm

Niamh

first tr 7/28 is a plural
the tr 7/36 sounds like a mini vacation (tr 4/4 + animal friend)

8:46 pm

EvaNadine

i stumbled across it and fell in *LOVE* with it!

8:47 pm

Niamh

my best friend is an avid reader... I wonder if she has it

8:51 pm

8:53 pm

Niamh

I have a feeling after tomorrow I'm going to have a ton of books I'll need to read on my list

8:53 pm

Niamh

8:54 pm

hurshy

phantom tollbooth IS a children's book, so easy to read - so go for it, it won't take long! :)

aknitter

hi Gw

9:08 pm

GreyWoulf

So, I have some news to relate --- Kirsten's c-section has been moved up... Sebastian will be joining us in the outside world on THIS Friday, not next week

9:08 pm

doxy1lover

congrats GW.

9:10 pm

GreyWoulf

Thanks, doxy :)

9:11 pm

Angelsong

GW: Sebastian has excellent taste in birthdays. He is being born on my daughter's wedding day. (She got her dress today.)

doxy1lover

I'm excited for you :D

9:12 pm

WOW!!! That's amazing news, GW! How exciting!

Niamh

9:13 pm

GreyWoulf

I'm sorta excited as well, doxy --
Angel -- I am glad for any day that he joins us :)

But, it is a bit inconvenient as well -- all the arrangements have already been made for next week! ;D

9:18 pm

doxy1lover

GW, you just can't trust those babies. They come when they want, or when the doc says they need to come.

9:18 pm

Charm

Hello, everyone.

GW - I'm certain your wife is happy about an earlier delivery!

9:19 pm

doxy1lover

hi charm

9:21 pm

aknitter

is there a clue for the nu 8/45?

9:22 pm

GreyWoulf

I know that, doxy -- that is what happened with Kristianna, but I can still be a little annoyed about it.. . having the universe continually remind you that you have no true control over the truly important events in your life isn't all that much fun :)

9:23 pm

doxy1lover

you are so right, And it's ok to be annoyed at the little stinker tonight. You'll just be excited when you see him. That's all that's important.

9:23 pm

mab

vitamins and minerals, ak = nu8

9:23 pm

GreyWoulf

Hi Charm! -- You are definitely right on that point! ;D
She was just getting into the REALLY impatient phase, so I guess Sebastian is just doing his bit to help his mommy :)

9:23 pm

aknitter

ty mab, being a junk food junkie i never would have thought of that one

9:24 pm

GreyWoulf

So how is the grid anyway? -- I only have the 5 words that I have just entered

9:25 pm

doxy1lover

I started just about 10 minutes before you did and I have 76. Not too bad.

9:26 pm

Niamh

babbler has been known to brag about the 100 + words she got in 30 min

it's a nice grid

9:26 pm

JoJoFunLvg

GW: Sebastian must be ready then. Dr.'s don't want him to start down the birth canal, then they can't do a C-Section. Yeah for Sebatian and Wolfie and Kirsten.

9:58 pm

doxy1lover

GW, remove the last vowel from the 7

9:59 pm

aknitter

Doxy -- figures! the only variant I didn't think to try ;)

10:00 pm

Wolfie: I know it is out of even the realm of priorities right now for you, BUT, who does Kirsten think who is going to win the SuperBowl. She has always been with the Seahawks, as I have since, I am in the Seattle area, but all press is against them. She has been right all along.

10:03 pm

mab

Night Jen.

10:05 pm

harpjane

tu 6/21?

10:05 pm

GreyWoulf

JoJo -- you are lucky the Eagles washed out this year, since that is who she rabidly supports ;)

But she thinks that the Seahawks will win, though it will be a hard fought battle

10:08 pm

GreyWoulf

1st tr7 -- tr4/5 + a cat is an example of a ***

10:08 pm

JoJoFunLvg

10:11 pm

harpjane

Thanks for the clues. I'm still stuck on the very first tr 7. It's in between tr 6/18's.

10:12 pm

GreyWoulf

Gotcha...no, Seattle proper...north end, just a bit north of the U District and being new to Seattle (since 2004) this is pretty fun. I'm the one with the pastor for a husband who really wishes games were on Saturday. :)

10:50 pm

JoJoFunLvg

Got to click off. Hubby wants me to watch Commander and Chief with him. Nite all.

10:51 pm

Goodnight JoJo

10:53 pm

JoJoFunLvg

Kristinc: Hey, glad to talk with a local. Well, some of the playoffs were on Saturday. The Superbowl will be at 3:30 in the afternoon on a Sunday, but he should be able to make at least most of the game before the evening service. Maybe he should have his evening service at 1 or 2:00 pm. Probably get more people *wink*.

10:54 pm

doxy1lover

Finished.

JBsAnno

Hi, everyone!
Just popping in (literally!) to say hello. The grid's over my limit today (to keep myself sane and with time to sleep, if it's over 150 words, I don't play that day).

And to also get everyone humming - ready?
"I'm being followed by a moonshadow,
Moonshadow, moonshadow..."

Take it, GW!

10:55 pm

JoJoFunLvg

OK,OK, thx everyone, going now ~~ I think!

10:55 pm

Night, JoJo, keep humming!

10:55 pm

10:56 pm

JoJoFunLvg

JB: I'm hummin'

10:56 pm

JBsAnno

#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#

10:57 pm

doxy1lover

10:57 pm

JBsAnno

Hmm, more testing needed!
Don't stand too close, doxy, not sure if one of those @'s might explode!

10:58 pm

JBsAnno

doxy, and JoJo (if she's still around) thanks for taking it. See what lobbing a song to a Woulf will get me!

10:58 pm

JoJoFunLvg

Smaller: Are you kidding, do I remember Steve Largent?!?! Of course, my daughter had the biggest crush on him ever. He has been here in Seattle for the playoffs by the way. Don't really like his stance after the Seahawks, but he is still STEVE LARGENT!!

10:58 pm

doxy1lover

have to go for now. May check in at the switch. Have a good evening all.

10:58 pm

kristinc

Smaller...the name Sargent doesn't register but my husband just filled me in. Sounds like a decent choice for a good ol' fashioned crush!

10:59 pm

JoJoFunLvg

JB: Sounds good to me.

10:59 pm

JBsAnno

Good night, doxy, and everybody - I'll check in tomorrow!
<leaves humming>

11:01 pm

JoJoFunLvg

For Sure: Nite all.

11:02 pm

smaller

gasp! Largent not Sargent. How unforgiveable of me. I was young and impetuous.
...and really only cared about his bottom not his name apparently

11:03 pm

kristinc

Smaller...we had you anyway. He has been coming to the games and standing on the sidelines. Seems like a neat guy.

11:03 pm

smaller

night doxy!

renfield

hi all!!!

11:06 pm

smaller

kristin,
i just read Jojo's thing about his "stance" after the seahawks. ??? stance on what?
b/c if it's how he stands I'm betting it's still just melt-my-legs hot. but i don't think that's what she meant. do you know? (but she still may be here despite leaving about 5 times : ))

11:07 pm

smaller

Evenin' renny!

11:08 pm

kristinc
