Lightweights.

Some people just dont understand.

Hail and hello to all....

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

Hi Blaze, how is your little?

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?
12:37 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

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

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

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

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.

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....

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

That's quite a little one :)

Only when she is sleeping quietly.... LOL

Dachef

12:53 am

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!!!!!!

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

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

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

*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..

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! : )

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

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

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

ah, found it, finally!
6:06 am

Exorcist movie?

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

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

Oooh, sounds terribly exotic! And to think we were thinking of doing a Bahamas cruise this summer... no way now! lol
7:27 am

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

My hubby grew up in a small town in north Florida... going to the city meant going to Pensacola.
7:31 am

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.

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

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

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

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)!

Bye Jera, Slow for me, too. I have 123 to go.
10:38 am

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.

Hi Deutsch! How are you post-upper GI?

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

Sounds like relatively good news, Deutsch; I'm so glad!
10:49 am

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

coppola directed
10:50 am

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

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

Hey, I'm here to help. :)
11:00 am

Saw Lost in Translation by Sofia Coppola last night. Slight, but great acting.
11:01 am

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

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

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

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!"

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

Bread for me please

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

It's what I had.

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

Mine was laziness, left over from dinner last night. Salads are underrated.
12:13 pm

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

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

What are scotch eggs?
12:19 pm
EvaNadine
heh, i had a can of beefaroni

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.

Slimfast bar for dinner tonight - or a salad - can't decide.
12:23 pm

Evan - Hawaiian pork chops sound nice. I'd like the recipe for those!
12:23 pm

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!

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, 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.

the st 7/32, add and ending to the st 4/5 before it
2:18 pm

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

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.

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

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.

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'

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
aknitter
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... : )

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

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

One who uses an ink filled writing implement

ooh, the "one who attempts" is a plural
6:24 pm

Granadan, the two bottom left ts are
tr6/18 - those who persevere
tr7/28 - most trivial
...i think : /
6:24 pm

Ren, my latest personal challenge is to see how many I can get in 30 mins. No stats, no chat, no nothing, just me and the grid. : )

7:01 pm

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
mab
Oo, chakra disalignment and cat on head -- that can be painful.

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.

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,* “The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.” Now Ella finds herself acting to save her friends, family, and fellow citizens from the encroaching totalitarianism of the island’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 girl’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)

But, it is a bit inconvenient as well -- all the arrangements have already been made for next week! ;D
9:18 pm

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

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

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

ty mab, being a junk food junkie i never would have thought of that one
9:24 pm

So how is the grid anyway? -- I only have the 5 words that I have just entered
9:25 pm

I started just about 10 minutes before you did and I have 76. Not too bad.
9:26 pm

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.
10:05 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
10:06 pm
harpjane
tr 7? Either one?
10:06 pm
GreyWoulf
tu6/21 -- trains go through these to pass through mountains
10:07 pm
GreyWoulf
2nd tr7 -- the most tr5 (cliched)
10:07 pm
doxy1lover
tr7/36 - short vacation + favored animal
10:08 pm
GreyWoulf
1st tr7 -- tr4/5 + a cat is an example of a ***
10:08 pm
JoJoFunLvg
Wolfie: Thx Kirsten. We in Seattle think so too, but all the bad press really tics us all off. Thx to her for all of Seattle.
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

10:13 pm
harpjane
gw, I'm busted....I don't have the 6/18 either!
10:14 pm
doxy1lover
tr6,7 - tr + 3rd vowel + 2nd vowel + consonant + 2n vowel. plural for 7
10:15 pm
GreyWoulf

10:24 pm

10:24 pm
doxy1lover
st7 - take your st4/5, double the consonant and add er
10:24 pm
mab
st 7: builds on st4, means a very striking person or event.
Missing that se 6...
10:25 pm
harpjane
Thanks. I'm very tired. Missing a lot. I was a Special Olympics coach all day. Stimulus overload!
10:25 pm

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*.

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?

Moonshadow, moonshadow..."

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

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 : ))
