12:03 am
GreyWoulf

12:03 am
DarleenMB

12:04 am
GreyWoulf

12:05 am
Griffums

Hello! I forgot I was here and when I looked again, the grid was today's and not yesterday's. [All muddled]
12:07 am
Griffums
hi zubie!
12:07 am
mab
Welcome back from vacation zubie!
12:08 am
zubie
Thanks mab! Hi Griff!
12:09 am
Griffums
Surprised to see the military's unexcused absence as a valid word - maybe it means something else too?
12:10 am
zubie
Was prowling around your blog yesterday, Griff :D
12:10 am
Griffums
I saw your comment, yes. :) Now I feel bad that I haven't updated it for over a week - I didn't know company was coming! :)
12:10 am
mab
Disable has a handful of acronyms, Griff. Never the ones one would think of, of course...
12:12 am
Griffums
I think disable must have a dartboard too...
12:13 am
zubie
Keep you on your toes, Griff! ;) Now I'll prowl around there when and as I wish. ;D
12:15 am
Griffums
You and the others with nothing but the bottom of the barrel to scrape, I guess. I have a boring life but it doesn't stop me from writing at length about it. :)
12:16 am
zubie
I thought it was interesting!
12:16 am
Griffums
Well, you'll love it when it's caught up - my big feature will be a photograph of the newspapers that have been stacking up unread. Take a tranquilizer beforehand so you can handle that! :)
12:18 am
Griffums
I'm bummed that the gently flowing sweet Afton isn't a valid word but at least now I'm humming that pretty song...
12:18 am
cybernan
Hi Everyone -- got the old laptop fired up, so I'll be here for as long as it keeps working! Can't wait for that new computer to arrive. :}

12:30 am
mab
Yep, that's a very nice image ren.
12:30 am
renfield

12:31 am
Babbler

Excellent Sprite's daughter!

GreyWoulf
G'Nite Ren! (*HUG*)
12:33 am
renfield
laila tove mab!!!!
12:33 am
Babbler
Ren, don't you want to know how I did in my 30 min challenge?
12:33 am
sprite
Yes, it really is! It was so hard for her and she still had to use diapers and all, never could stay dry for even one night. And then last weekend she came to me sunday night, and said she was out of diapers and had not given it any attention, and I kind of lost it. I was so fed up with her leaving all the work to us and just WAITING until all of a sudden things would work out without her trying. Remember, my washing machine had crashed too... And I put her to bed without diaper, and told her she had to REALLY give it a try. And she did, and it worked, and she is proud as hell now :D :D
We too!
12:34 am
sprite
Wow Woulf! That's wonderful... too early to have the same birthday as my daughter, but still wonderfull :D
12:35 am
Babbler
awwww, Sprite! great news! She was ready, wasn't she? And you let her reach it in her own time. Bless you. : )
12:36 am
mab
That's great, Sprite. Mothers are awesome.
12:37 am
sprite
I have never wanted to push her, but she is kind of inborn lazy. Really. We always say she must have been some kind of queen of queens in another life, not used to do anything for herself. So it takes some coaching to get her to try and risk failing and all... but it is so wonderful when she does and feels how rewarding it is, and what a boost for one's self esteem, if she really tries and succeeds :D I am real proud of her.
12:38 am
cybernan
Wow! -- GW, just been through the log -- how exciting! Still remember how awful, those last few weeks of pregnancy are -- bet Kirsten is pleased to be getting it over with a little sooner.
12:38 am
GreyWoulf
I am not feeling much love for the grid at all right now ---It may be a small, but it is very frustrating -- I have 42 words -- none of the 6's or 7's and only 6 of the 5's
12:39 am
brandyjack
41 words, 4 sixes no seven.
12:39 am
sprite
I'll go and give it a try, have been too busy chatting to do more than 20 words. Hang in there, Woulf, here's company ;)
12:40 am
GreyWoulf
Thanks sprite -- though no matter what, I am turning in in 20 mins -- I have to open the store in 7 hours :)
12:40 am
Babbler
I got to 47 words in my 30 minute challenge (self-imposed). : ) no biggies though.
12:42 am
sprite
Sleep is important, Woulf, especially for fathers who are about to go without much sleep for quite a while ;)
12:43 am
GreyWoulf
I know sprite, hence the now 18 minute time limit ;)
12:44 am
sprite
Not just a Grey Woulf, but a Wise Woulf :)
Love you, and lots of hugs!
12:44 am
Babbler
I'm heading off to (try to) sleep now. see you all later and happy babbling! : )
GW, in case I don't see you, lots and lots of love and luck for Friday ((*GW and family*)) : )
12:45 am
GreyWoulf

12:45 am

12:49 am

M7/36: tiny detail.
12:50 am
Chessy
thanx sprite :)
12:50 am
GreyWoulf
I was on the trail of that one, but once again went left when I should have gone right!
12:51 am
sprite
Thought I couldn't let you hit the hay without at least one biggie ;)
Can't find any of the others yet, though.
12:51 am
zubie
Ok. Surprise! I've just surprised myself by discovering that I'm still here.
12:52 am
sprite
Hey zubie! You're here :)
12:53 am
zubie
Hi sprite! :D Yes, I'm here. Returned here yesterday. To the grid, I mean. Just got back from vacation. How are you?
12:54 am
sprite
I am okay, just not doing very well with the grid. It's a tough one!
How are you?
12:56 am
zubie
I'm ok, sprite. Thoroughly unbabbled though. Did they change the babble mode to some unheard-of language while I was away? ;D
12:57 am
sprite
M7/40: To free from slavery or bondage; emancipate.
12:58 am
sprite
LOL zubie! No, they did not, don't worry... it IS a tough grid. You'll be fine, just as we, from tomorrow on (I hope!)
12:58 am
GreyWoulf
Thank you, sprite
1:00 am
sprite
Will you be able to sleep peacefully now, Woulf? Then I have done my good deed for today ;) ;)
1:01 am
GreyWoulf
I will sleep better for having the 7's indeed, sprite -- though I am amazed that I still have none of the 6's and am down to 33 left to find -- but they will keep til later (*HUG*) :)
1:02 am
zubie
22 words. Oh hooray! I hereby retire from babbling and make myself the onlooker who babbles. ;D The second babble being different from the first. :P
1:02 am
GreyWoulf
And so I bid a fond farewell to all and go forth to seek my slumber...
(*Hugs to all*)
1:05 am
sprite
Sweet dreams, Woulf!
There are at least a few 6s that are common words, you'll find them when you have slept :)
H4/12: one of those nasty little ones we have seen before. Always reminds me of wtf.
1:07 am
zubie
'Night, GW :) Sleep well.
1:07 am

Also L4/10. Another of those little b@st@rds.
1:15 am
Blaze
hello.... only 82 words hmmm... usually a brain twister....
1:19 am
sprite
Hi Blaze! Yes, it is. Almost done now, but there are a few nasty ones among them.
1:20 am
Blaze
oh yes I can tell already....
1:29 am
sprite
There are some hints in the log already.
Some others: when you have found the H6 with nothing in it, don't be shy and try some stupid alt. spellings of the same.
Also: give M6/21 another last letter to find M6/24 (or mistype, as I did)
1:30 am
sprite
And there's another M6/24 that could be called a shape shifter.
Good luck hunting to y
1:30 am
Blaze
sprite thank you... you are a doll......I am at 27 now...
1:30 am
Blaze
oopss make that 36 I have been busier than I thought

Have a great day!
1:32 am

Ah! Thank you. That's all I needed. :)
3:41 am

That other word using the Z, was not offered in the a2z wordfinder when I was plugging in word ending using the Z. That is only the second time that has happened. Were the word in the Babble puzzle in not in the a2z wordfinder.
3:55 am

FMitch-think light and give it a feminine ending.
5:53 am
Eva
What's the theme today? I'd look it up but my computer is being persnickety and if I leave the grid I might not get it back for a while.
5:53 am

Hi Eva,
As soon as I read yr great clue I saw the word, thanks.
5:53 am

hebbzy
i have the skating z, but i'm sure there is another !!
6:09 am

Hello gramma.It`s the night Scotland celebrates the life of Robert Burns,their most famous poet.Living with a Scot it seems appropriate.

Sorry. I'm a little slow today. Just scrolled down and saw the answer. Everything sounds good..except the dreaded haggis.
6:50 am

gramma - I was very dubious the first time but it is actually very tasty although a bit too herby/spicy for my liking.
6:50 am
gramma
FMitch and macadam, I'm rather fond of the whiskey. Maybe I could help you get rid of yours :D
6:51 am
FMitch
LOL gramma, that sounds like a plan!
6:53 am

10:02 am
hurshy
yeah, the story is that my sister and i both wanted two books from our childhood - poky little puppy and big dog, little dog, and each had taken one. this christmas we agreed to buy each other the other one so we'd both have both. :)
10:02 am
MissyMe
I should say she has the cloth version, I bought the little golden book later for my kids
10:03 am
hurshy
well, i still want to know if efor's icon USED to be rainbow brite.
10:04 am
efor1124
sorry i was afk...
thanks EB! one of my favorites when I was a kid.
I had rainbow brite, but I changed it to go with the theme. she'll be back soon! :)
10:06 am
hurshy
it's just i had forgotten all about rainbow brite's existence and then somehow when i saw it i remembered who it was anyway.
10:06 am

Atalante - does the deviantart page have a lot of adobe photoshop photos on it?
10:10 am
MissyMe
Hurshy that is so cool :)
EB one of my favorite parts of a Winnie the Poo book, "Winnie the Poo and the Honey Tree":
...from the top of the tree there came a loud buzzing noise...
Winnie the Poo sat down at the foot of the tree, put his head between his paws and began to think...
"Think, think, think" he thought, "You don't get a loud buzzing noise like that, just buzzing and buzzing without it's meaning something."
Then he thought a little while longer and said, "The only reason for a buzzing noise that I know of is because you're a bee."
And he thought another little while longer and said, "And the only reason for being a bee that I know of is for making honey"
And then he got up and said, "And the only reason for making honey is so I can eat it!"
so he began to climb the tree...

Good thanks. It seems like ages since i last spoke to you!!
11:08 am

It probably has been. I usually finish the grid when it's released at night.
11:08 am
lottijw
Missy...the trouble with housework is that it never goes away!!!!!!
11:08 am
smaller
why is "woot" not a word?
Anj uses it all the time, doesn't that give it credibility
11:10 am
MissyMe
lotti true true true...I have taken to giving names to my dustbunnies under the bed...great excuse not to look under there
11:10 am
lottijw
The only time i ever seemed to see you Hugs was at the flip, yes....It`s not often i`m around for that, cos its 6am when we get it here :)
11:11 am
MissyMe
smaller I first time I saw it was when I started networking on AOL in the chatrooms...that's years ago now. It might be offically included in a dictionary some day...
11:12 am
Hugabugs
And it's midnight when it flips here... I'm a nightowl! ;o)
11:12 am
lottijw
LOL Missy....I know what you mean!!! I get a build up of my hair on the bedroom floor, where i sit and dry it. I really must vac it up soon.
Smaller i think thats gone through everyones mind!!!
11:13 am
MissyMe
lotti lol! If you live around deer, collect the hair and put it on your plants deers like to munch on. Works great :)
11:14 am

11:20 am
Hugabugs
MissyMe - would that work for rabbits that munch on my spring bulb growths?
11:22 am
MissyMe
The workers are here today finally putting in the new heater...they've been here for the last three days preparing our house for it..we needed a completely new system including ducts. We've been without that type of heat all winter...sure did save a bunch on gas, though.
They're also putting in an e-lek-tronicky touch pad that would make NASA proud. What this probably means is I wont' be able to figure the thing out and we STILL won't have any heat! lol
11:23 am
lottijw
It`s amazing what we learn on Babble.......and i don`t mean the words!!!!!
Time to feed the children, before they dive in the biscuit cupboard!!!! See you all soon :)
11:23 am
renfield
missy - we have no heater...of course - who needs heat when it's 90F year round....8)
11:23 am
MissyMe
Hugabug you can try it...also toss around caienne pepper...and yuk...sorry about this but it works...your watered down urine...just sprinkle it around your plants...
11:24 am
shorty
MissyMe where do you live? is it real cold?
11:25 am
MissyMe
ren! lol Its the opposite here...we don't need central air...just a small air conditioner in the window does fine..we have a very small house
11:26 am
MissyMe
shorty...I live in the California foothills, about 2000ft elevation..we don't get much snow and temperatures stay either at or just above freezing most of the time...not too bad
11:27 am
shorty
well thats good don't want you to freeze to death
11:28 am
Hugabugs
Our temps go from one extreme in the summer to the other end in the winter. We need both heater and air conditioner to be comfortable in the summer
11:29 am
MissyMe
how thoughtful :D
We've been heating our house without our wood stove, which we should be doing anyway to save on propane which is getting ridiculously expensive!
11:30 am
shorty
Hugabugs I've always wanted to go to Manatoba I have a Manatoba Moose sweatshirt a friend gave me
11:30 am
MissyMe
with* our wood stove, not without* lol
11:30 am
shorty
I know its crazy
11:31 am
Hugabugs
shorty - i've been to a few of their games. I do miss not having the Jets here any more though
11:32 am
MissyMe
Hugabugs It was like that for us when we lived in the valley...that valley bowl baked in the summer but milder winters where we didn't have to heat the house every day...
11:33 am
Adsman
ahhhhh this is to hard
11:34 am
MissyMe
Adsman This puzzle is definitely a challenge! Did you get the word count from Babblers Anonymous...makes it go a little easier
11:34 am
Hugabugs
MissMe - we've had a mild winter in comparison to what it's been like in the past. -30's C was normal winter for 2 or 3 months
11:35 am
MissyMe
Hugabugs!!! I'm sure how'd I'd cope with that...wow!
11:37 am
Adsman
Cant look at it MissyMe my works security teams block that page oh well will keep struggling on LOL

Meetings are a waste of valuable time.
Hi everyone!
12:13 pm
MissyMe
arggh eva!!! Meetings are very boring, and just what exactly do they accomplish except to make everyone extremely grateful when they're over?
12:13 pm
MissyMe
Deutsch Hiya :)
12:14 pm
plurple
65 so far...
12:14 pm

the last thing said at this meeting was "ok, so we cant actually beging doing anything at this point..."
12:14 pm

And what's worse than meetings? Saturday seminars.
I went to a pathetically useless one in mid january
12:14 pm
caitlyn
Missy ...That was the youngest grandchild! (a girl) I have 4 others 2girls age 10 then a girl 8 a boy of 7 and now this new one. We take them on hols every year in our touring caravan(must be mad)lol
12:14 pm
MissyMe
Deutsch You nailed it! When my husband was working at his last job he had to attend three meetings a day! A total waste of his valuable time..
12:16 pm

Don't GET me started. so how about a clue for the ma7, please?
12:16 pm
renfield
in my meetings i bring play doh and toys for those w/ short attention spans...like me!!!!
12:16 pm

caitlyn wow, how wonderful for you! lol about the touring van..you must be overwelling with patience!
I'm expecting my first grandbaby on March 11, a boy :)

12:18 pm
renfield
missy...yes...and we talk as we play..we record our meeting and we get some really good ideas...only no pen clicking is allowed!!!!
12:19 pm
EvaNadine
thats a brilliant idea!
12:19 pm
Deutsch
thanks, evanadine! That one was driving me crazy.
12:20 pm
MissyMe
evanadine lol That is so typical of today's silly approach to business! Someone told somebody somewhere meetings were the way to motivate your employees and we're now stuck with them until they're out of style
12:20 pm
EvaNadine
any hints for the 2 upper N words?
12:21 pm

MissyMe
faerie...well at least there aren't any pantylines
2:10 pm
EasternBlue
and there's a hand that seems to like it!!
2:10 pm
MissyMe
Babbler, speaking of rude...whose hand is that?
2:10 pm
Babbler
that would be Rupert Campbell-Black, of course!! lol! : )
2:11 pm
Miyavi_fan
Babs, it's...pleasantly rounded ;D
2:11 pm
faeriekae
Well Babbler and EB it is called Pixie Wing by Behr paint and it is sort of a very light violet with gold grante sparkles in it. I did the ceiling and trim in Bridal Vail White. It did turn out nice.
2:12 pm
MissyMe
Babbler...known as the 24-carat cad? lol
2:12 pm
EasternBlue
faerie - it sounds pretty...congrats on a job well done!!
2:13 pm
MissyMe
faerie...the names they come up for paint nowadays...lol
2:13 pm
faeriekae
EB - getting the old wallpaper down was the yucky part.
2:14 pm
MissyMe
ewww nasty, tedious job
2:14 pm
Babbler
faerie, that sounds gorgeous!!
2:14 pm
Babbler
heh, thanks Miya!! lol! : ) have you read any Jilly Cooper?
2:15 pm
Miyavi_fan
I'm ashamed to say I haven't :( I go in for horror...anything gory that stops me from sleeping.
all together now...MWAHAHAHA...
2:15 pm
MissyMe
I read Sci-Fi...and Stephen King, (only horror author I read)
2:16 pm
MissyMe
Miyavi lol
2:16 pm
faeriekae
Babbler it is pretty. It is a womans bathroom by all means. I have it so fu fued up.
2:16 pm
Babbler
*quakes in boots at the very thought of horror stories* : /
2:17 pm
MissyMe
faerie lol about fu fu...
2:17 pm
faeriekae
Has anyone read my book? It's John Irving "A Prayer for Owen Meany?"
2:17 pm
EasternBlue
*hiding eyes from horror stories...realizes she can't see the chat log....*
*uncovers eyes*
I stay away from horror so I can sleep at night!!
2:17 pm
Miyavi_fan
awww, Babs...I've got some friends coming round on the weekend for a scary film marathon...I'm shivering and preparing cushion baricades at the thought :/
2:18 pm
EasternBlue
faerie - no...I haven't - but it's one of those books you always mean to read!!
2:18 pm
pbr
ok I have one blessed word left -- to5 -- I have the toy-opp off. help me before I go crazier!
2:18 pm
EasternBlue
Missy/Faerie - should it be foo-fooed??
2:19 pm
MissyMe
EB I'm not frightened by books or movies any more...now I'm just complacent and very critical if the book or movie isn't done well, I guess I've seen too much and read too much
2:19 pm
faeriekae
It starts out really slow but when it takes off you will not be able to put it down. It is a super book.
2:19 pm
Babbler
me too, EB!! I saw the Blair Witch Project and (after it was explained to me cos I didn't geddit), I had to sleep with the lights on for TWO weeks!! : (
nooooo, Miya, don't do it! cancel it. it's gonna snow anyway. Read some fairy stories! oh hang on, they're just as gruesome..... play Babble!! : )
2:20 pm
Miyavi_fan
Missy, have you seen the film of Stephen King's 'Carrie'? I read the book and was pretty disappointed by it
2:20 pm
MissyMe
EB I've always seen it as like fu fu colors...but you're version is probably right. "Foo" reminds me of the foo-fighters pilots reporting seeing during WWII
2:20 pm
EasternBlue
pbr - if you lose a to _ _ _, the to _ _ _ fairy might leave $$ under your pillow!
2:20 pm
faeriekae
EB --- ok, foo fooed *blushes*
2:21 pm
MissyMe
Miyavi, disappointed in which, the book or the movie? I've read the book and seen the movie...the movie was just okay...predictable though
2:21 pm
EasternBlue
...it's just the other one can be an abbreviation for sumthin' else...
2:21 pm
pbr
EasternBlue -- ty -- and to think I just had one pulled and just couldn't see the word...thanks again. phew
2:21 pm
Miyavi_fan
lol Babs! Ahhh, it's all arranged now. BUT, I'll be watching the movies while snuggled into my boyfriend, whimpering...so it's all good XD
2:21 pm
faeriekae
How about a ho 4/5
2:22 pm
EasternBlue
pbr - I had to ask about that one too!!
2:22 pm
MissyMe
Miyavi Have you read the Dark Tower series?
2:23 pm
MissyMe
....the fish is getting a workout today :)
2:23 pm
EasternBlue
ho 4/5 -
there are 2
1) like a b_ _ _ of lightening (only drop the b & use the h)
or
2) what an owl says
2:24 pm
EasternBlue
Babs - I couldn't watch Blair Witch...the bouncing around w/ the camera made me nauseous!!
2:24 pm
MissyMe
WE HAVE HEAT! I can smell the heater smell coming from the vent. Now I have to go out and look at the new touch pad that was installed with the new heater...
2:24 pm
Miyavi_fan
Missy, nope...I've only read a few of Stephen King's most famous ones - Carrie, Misery, The Shining and IT so far. would you recommend the Dark Tower series?
2:24 pm
faeriekae
the owl Ty...now the fish....slap....hands fish back....thanks again
2:25 pm
MissyMe
<----------only person on the planet who has not seen "The Blair Witch" or "The Titanic"
2:25 pm
EasternBlue
*gently places another dazed fish back into the pond*
2:26 pm
Miyavi_fan
What was the Blair Witch Project about, anyhows?
2:26 pm
MissyMe
Miyavi...yes...it's so well written. But be prepared to take a few years of your life to do it...every one of the books in the series is typical of Stephen King's "diarrhea of the pen" style. Long books!
2:28 pm
Miyavi_fan
lol Missy! Are any of them longer than IT? over 1100 pages...too...many...
2:28 pm
Maru
Hello everybody!
Some clue with wi 5/28?
Thanks in advance.
2:28 pm
EasternBlue
Maru - rhymes with the number after 49
2:29 pm
MissyMe
Miyavi Some young people do a project on a witch near the town of Blair...they take a video camera with them into the woods...the come up missing and a few weeks later the video footage is found...the movie is what is supposedly seen on the footage of the missing young people
2:29 pm
MissyMe
No Miyavi IT and The Stand are probably his too longest ones :)
2:31 pm
Maru
Thank you Easternblue... Thanks a lot!
2:32 pm
EasternBlue
Maru - no problem...that's how I got it too!! (with a clue!!)
2:32 pm
MissyMe
EB 51 comes after 49 but doesn't rhyme at all with it...so do a bunch of other numbers... :P
2:32 pm
Miyavi_fan
ah, doesn't that sound fun ^_^ I heard something about circles of stones?
2:33 pm
EasternBlue
52, 53, 54....1,000,001....
2:33 pm
faeriekae
Me again how about the im words?????
2:33 pm
MissyMe
Miyavi From what I gather, its presented as real video footage without editing...meaning there's a lot of time just looking at grass when the camera is down, dark scenes and other boring things...I think they do find a circle of stones somewhere
2:35 pm
EasternBlue
im -
4 -
im + I _ _ (he is, you are...)
5 -
the same, with another letter before the last one...
2:35 pm
Miyavi_fan
ah hah...so not recommended then?
2:35 pm
MissyMe
im words
i + polite word to call a lady, opposite of "sir"
add another vowel after the first vowel in the second im word
2:36 pm
MissyMe
Miyavi...from everyone's description, much of which I gave you, is the reason I didn't bother to see it
2:36 pm
Miyavi_fan
lol Missy...thanks :D

2:39 pm
MissyMe
Temple I did the same...I usually expect to spend a few hours on a puzzle this short but finished it under an hour...now I'm at a loss as what to do
Did you get some housework done?
2:39 pm
72 Temple Owl
ROFLMAO!
2:39 pm
evanonut
jumping in here for a second, i recommend the blair witch project
2:40 pm
MissyMe
Temple, do you remember the ballyhoo when the Blair Witch came out. They were touting it as real footage, a real event...not fiction...it fooled a lot of people at first
2:40 pm
72 Temple Owl
buti did get some salaried work done...not as much as i'd like though..anyone need clues?
2:40 pm

mornin' all

2:41 pm
faeriekae
Granadan - Hello
2:42 pm
MissyMe
eva I heard such negative things about it I avoided it, what did you like about...maybe I need to hear something positive...
2:42 pm
sherb
evening all :)
hey nut - you should go Pro and get an Evanovich book cover for your icon... :D
2:42 pm
evanonut
it's hilarious!
i love the scene in the tent...cracked me up
2:42 pm
EasternBlue
Hiya Sherb!
2:43 pm
MissyMe

2:43 pm
72 Temple Owl
hello, evan, sherb...
2:43 pm
evanonut
i'd love to go pro sherb - maybe i'll start a take pity on the nut fund
2:43 pm
MissyMe
eva there was comedy? :D
2:44 pm
72 Temple Owl
evan...then you'd have to serach for icons and change them every day....myself, i cannot take the pressure ;D
2:44 pm
sherb
hi EB, MIssyMe, Temple :) :) :)
2:44 pm
evanonut
well missy, i don't think it was supposed to be comedy, but really
2:45 pm
evanonut
72 - just think, a different spandex for everyday
2:45 pm
granadan
Is it any book cover or a certain type today?
*shifts farty lap warmer nearer to Miy.....*
2:45 pm
sherb
Temple - you could always be the steady kind, like sprite and Hugs, and keep the same classic icon... :)
2:45 pm
MissyMe
lol eva Unintentional comedy is even better than on purpose. I guess that's why I took to MST3k so well...schlock is fun!
2:45 pm
72 Temple Owl
evan - i kept hoping the screaming woman would be kiled by the whatever, i got so tired of hearing her scream...not exactly waht the firector hoped for : )
2:46 pm
evanonut
did scare my husband though, you should have seen him in the dark on the way to the car.
2:46 pm
72 Temple Owl
i meant directot : )
2:46 pm
MissyMe
Temple...you know a movie is bad when you start rooting to have the main character killed...lol!!!
2:47 pm
72 Temple Owl
or maybe director....sorry to waste the log : (
2:47 pm
granadan
rotfl... sober up your keyboard!
2:47 pm
EasternBlue
granadan - any type of book cover...
2:47 pm
MissyMe
poor hubby...
2:47 pm
evanonut
to give the director credit, i believe it was a student film project
2:48 pm
MissyMe
eva...wasn't that part of the promos, though, the idea that it was a student film and not made by the two professional gentlemen behind it?
2:49 pm
evanonut
i thought the idea itself was a student film though, limited budget and all that
2:50 pm
MissyMe
alright..we've talked about so much now, I'm piqued...I probably can pick it up for 99 cents on Amazon
2:52 pm
Hi there

Hey smaller
3:12 pm
EasternBlue
Missy & Deutsch...now I'm humming the song & my co-workers are looking at me funny!!
3:12 pm
MissyMe
My mom has an original Poo bear which doesn't look anything like the ones they have now. It was brown, very thin with moveable arms and legs...and I think real horse hair. When I was five I sewed bright neon pink threads onto his head because he was "bald" and I didn't like it...my mom saw what I did and didn't like it either...the pink hair, that is
3:12 pm
EasternBlue
Hi smaller...
Hi Jessie
3:12 pm
smaller
HI Jessie, Deutsch and Sherb!
I just had a WONDERFUL sales meeting!
3:13 pm
Jessie1
what was the outcome?
3:13 pm
MissyMe
smaller...you actually had a wonderful meeting? Good for you! Meetings are usually so boring...and nonproductive
3:13 pm
Jessie1
did you get a raise
3:14 pm
EasternBlue
Missy - some of the 'new classic' are at least a little closer to the original...
I saw him in the NY Public library...altho' I still think he belongs in England...
3:15 pm
Deutsch
MissyMe, LOL! I once cut off my doll's hair and told my grandmother it would grow back. (It didn't!)
3:15 pm
MissyMe
EB...they're making old classics now? I wonder how the kids are reacting to them...they just look like a skinny brown bear and not the cutsey, cubby stuffed with fluff they're used to. Is Disney making them?
3:16 pm
MissyMe
Deutsch ROTF!
I was notorious for "modifying" my dolls when they didn't suit me
3:16 pm
smaller
LOL! nope no raise.
but i did get to vent and things are a changin'
so a very productive meeting
3:17 pm
sherb
oh boy, I'm glad I'm not your boss smaller... the thought of you venting...
3:17 pm
MissyMe
although, it was my brother who drew anatomically correct things on my Ken doll... o-0
3:18 pm

3:18 pm

Barbie got ear rings when we stuck her ears with straight pins with colored balls on top! LOL

MissyMe, ROTFLMAO!
3:19 pm
MissyMe
Deutsch lol! You were just showing your fashion sense
3:20 pm
EasternBlue
Missy - not quite like the original but closer than the "Disney" version...
(altho' I think Steif sp?? does...)
3:20 pm
Deutsch
Believe me, MissyMe, that was the last time for fashion sense!
3:20 pm

Renny-
OF COURSE you got a raise. That's why I was venting. You are far too underpaid.
Sherb- LOL!!! true!
3:21 pm

Christa -
I never liked to get the ho _ _ _ _ _ chocolate bunnies at Easter, I preferred the solid chocolate bunnies!!

3:23 pm
renfield

3:25 pm

Christa - go to 'My Profile' (top right) and click on 'Show my player name'... :)
3:25 pm

3:25 pm
lwg50
missyme- that animal part shows up as my 4/8. maybe I am missing the obvious
3:26 pm
renfield
smaller - i'm telling on you!!! i don't fritter...i just like to shop!!!
3:26 pm
sherb
smaller - that's a little unfair... ren only buys absolute necessities... like gobstoppers...
3:26 pm
musicmom
Okay so I obviously need to log in differently tomorrow and change my player profile. I put my real name in. Can you tell I'm new to all this?
3:26 pm

granadan
Lets vote. musicmom or siggy?
3:30 pm
musicmom
It still didn't work. I'm too close to being done to fool around and accidently lose what I have. I'll log in as music mom tomorrow.

It didn't work. I think I need to pay the money and I also need to switch to firefox. I logged in on Safari this morning.
3:34 pm
myownvenus
anyone have a clue for MI 7???
3:35 pm
MissyMe
Firefox is probably best. I use Opera because one of my programs messed Firefox up and no matter the repeated attempts to remove, add back on and clean up my computer, Firefox refuses to work. Opera works just "okay" with the site and messes up on many others
3:35 pm
ExWren
There was an excellent clue at 10.28 by missyme for the mi 7

I'm gonna speed type my words, got them all on my printout today.
Okay, time me - go from the time on this post.
Ready?
Go!

Ren - I'm well practised in howling. We used to go up to Cwm Buchan lake in N. Wales (where there's a great echo) and howl at around midnight to scare the campers.*Grins broadly.*
6:56 pm

I see you've got The Da Vinci Code there, Cybernan. My ex-hubby bought me that for Xmas 2004. I must get around to reading it.
7:01 pm
Jacula
Anj - Ok. Hope all is well.
7:02 pm
cybernan
Don't put it off Jacula -- it's the best read I've come across in a long time. Waiting for the movie to get into the video stores now.
7:03 pm
Jacula
Cybernan - It's not so much a case of 'putting off' as 'finding time'. I've at leat 300 books backed up to read (and that's no exaggeration).
7:03 pm
cybernan
Angels and Demons by the same author was pretty good too.
7:03 pm
Anj
Thanks Jac...everything's fine, i'm just doing a presentation tomorrow night and I always fuss over the prep : )
7:04 pm
Jacula
Okay Anj. I'm signed in if you need a 'panic chat'.
7:04 pm
DarleenMB
You'll have a long wait for the movie to hit the stores as it isn't even in theatrical release yet.
Jac .. the book is fast paced, easy and quick to read. Move it to the top of the stack! I think you'll really enjoy it.

Darleen - it depends if you're on Broadband, and then how close to the telephone exchange you are. Speeds vary, no matter what you pay.
Heck! I sounded like an Ann Summers rep there!
7:09 pm
cybernan
Better go and start on supper -- see you at the flip!
7:09 pm

LOL Jac. We just went on DSL last September. We're supposedly getting 1MB? All I know is it's much faster than dial up and I'm very happy these days.

Me three on the books. They're piled so high by the bed I can barely get in! I wish I could just press the danged things to my forehead and transfer it into my brain.
7:12 pm
Jacula
Okay. Got The Hobbit for my icon now. I'll have to scan in my old copy of it, not this modern cover on my icon.
Shame, in a way, to get rid of Jack London's wolf though... that howl I did came right out of his mouth. Looked rather good, I thought.
7:13 pm
Babbler
.... and then there are books I want to read but haven't got hold of yet....... : /
7:13 pm
JBsAnno
Hey, I'll check in later for chat and clues - I have to get supper and pay bills, and watch <shhh> American Idol - I love the audition shows!
Good night if you're not here when I get back!

'Night Anj. Sleep well and good luck with the presentation.
7:17 pm

JBs - No headaches here, but need to take specs off to read books these days. Varifocals beckon but I can't afford 'em yet!
Babbler - Same here. That's why I also write, I guess.
7:18 pm
Jacula
Babbler - Once you've charged through a book, don't you feel sorry that you've finished it and have to leave 'everyone' behind? I know I do!
7:19 pm
Babbler
Yes, Jac I do! I feel so sad when I reach the last few pages. lol. I want to get back into writing... : /

Hey all, I'm back and yes Babbler how about fo 4/5 and I'll take the fish with that
7:29 pm
Jacula
Hi f/k. I assume you have found the fish in the grid?
7:29 pm
faeriekae
Jacula, sorry you were the one giving out clues. Sorry Babbler. But the fo 4/8 and the ho 4/12 and then we will see how it goes from there
7:30 pm
periwinkle
can't find the lu4/10
7:30 pm
faeriekae
what fish?? bows in shame
7:31 pm
Babbler
fo4/8 - could be a guy's name, if it wasn't for the F. Think Michael, Mark, Luke and Jo**, and swap the J for the F.
7:31 pm
Jacula
Fish - tu4/5
7:32 pm
Babbler
ho4/12 is probably the silliest word in today's grid. Sounds like what you might say if a brick fell on your toe and you howled and almost started swearing!! :D
7:32 pm
faeriekae
Yes... I did find that
7:32 pm
Jacula
lu4/10 - think Jewish word for tw4/8 - starts with a 'K'. Knock the 'k' off the start.
7:33 pm
Jacula
Yes, Babbler, but ma7/40's pretty silly, too. Sounds like Beckham's team... almost.
7:34 pm
Jacula
Sorry! Beckham's old team. Think Rooney's still in the team though and Georgie Best definitely once was.
7:35 pm
periwinkle
thanks, Jacula, figured it had to have the z in it just couldn't figure out the word
7:35 pm
Jacula
Peri - glad you got it.
7:36 pm
Jacula
Definition for lu4/10 - Only Diane Towler & Bernard Ford and Jane & Chris whotsit would have got that though:
A jump in figure skating in which the skater takes off from the back outer edge of one skate and makes one full rotation before landing on the back outer edge of the other skate.
7:38 pm

need 3 words to finish: to4/5, to4/6 and to5/12
7:39 pm
faeriekae
I'll share my Faerie Dust....(*^_^*)
7:39 pm
Jacula
ho4/12 sound like a cross between a dog making a cross sounding bark and someone being given a body blow - oof!
7:40 pm
Jacula
ho4/12 - ask a question and then add an 'f'.
7:41 pm
periwinkle
found the to5
7:41 pm
faeriekae
Jacula - Thanks I got it. *****Faerie Dust for you******
7:41 pm
Jacula
to4/5 - change the last letter of the to4/4 above it (a fee or charge) to the 5th vowel.
7:42 pm
Jacula
to4/6 - The first name of the UK Prime Minister.
7:42 pm

ta5/12 - to tease.

8:25 pm
tedsmom

JBsAnno
Pasta, baby!

Sorry, couldn't resist the "baby"
One of the guys I work with says bye like "Asta linguini!" and my reply is "Pasta, baby!"
Lame, but it makes us grin.
<grin>
8:30 pm
Jacula
zi - ridged pasta tubes or sounds like a spotty person.
Too late with the clue, though, I see! Sorry. Was off playing another word game.
8:30 pm
Kimm
Jacula- Since you're offering clues, do you have one for ho 6/33?
8:30 pm
faeriekae
I'm still working on the pasta....I'm just about ready for bed.
8:31 pm
Jacula
Kimm - ho6/33 - with nothing in the middle. Think 'Sleepy Ho****'.
8:31 pm
JBsAnno
Jac, may I?
Kimm, if you're from the South (US), they refer to them as 'hollers'
8:31 pm
faeriekae
Got it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!

Or, in a horror story, 'he gave a ho**** laugh'.

8:35 pm
Tim
.......mu6/24?
8:36 pm
Jacula
Changed icon now to a DH Lawrence book.:-))
8:37 pm
Jacula
Tim - mu6/24. Ever heard of the Teenage Mu**** Hero Turtles?
8:37 pm
Jacula
If not, think of a hideously deformed being.
8:37 pm
Tigereye
Tim change the last letter of mu6/21
8:37 pm
Tim

saphyre
hi everyone

Jacula
Hi Saphyre & Tigereye.
Tigereye - that's one of my favourite stones. I have it on keyrings, bracelets and necklaces.
8:40 pm
Tim
just need 3........ma6/21?..ma6/24?..and the mi7/36?
8:43 pm
Jacula
Definition for ma6.21 - 1. In Algonquian religious belief, a supernatural power that permeates the world, possessed in varying degrees by both spiritual and human beings.
2. A deity or spirit.
Sounds like a short way of talking about a male whose car you may be pulling along with a rope between his vehicle and yours.
For ma6/24 - change last vowel to 5th vowel in vowel list.
mi7/36 - the small things.
8:44 pm
Jacula
mi7/36 - think one 60th of an hour in time, knock off the last vowel and add a personal pronoun and a definite article.
8:45 pm
Jacula
(Or knock off the last 2 letters of the time word and add the first part of a coffee licquer drink - '*** Maria'.
8:48 pm
Jacula
*liqueur.
Sorry, I'm a 'hot' speller, so I'm told but the 'li' word is one of my blind spots!
8:48 pm
tedsmom
More clues for ma6/21 and ma6/24...please?
8:50 pm
Tim
got the ma s....still on the mi....
8:51 pm
tedsmom
Mi is the stuff people get hung up on that can make one nuts!
8:52 pm
Jacula
Tedsmom - Start with a male then add a personal pronoun and then something you'd put before a 'doing' word.
8:53 pm
Jacula
Tedsmom - for the ma6/24 - do the same but change the last 2 letters to the French familiar for 'you'.
8:53 pm
tedsmom
TY Jacula!
8:54 pm
Jacula
Tim - Sorry, not sure how to make the 'mi' word any clearer. How far have you got with it?
8:55 pm
tedsmom
Tim--For Mi, think of nit-picking
8:56 pm
Tim
coffee liquer drink?
8:59 pm
Jacula
Will give you its name later, Tim. Meanwhile, here are driving directions for the mi word:
Start on 1st M on left in 4th row down, down right to the 'I', up, up, down right, down right again, right.
9:00 pm
Jacula
Hello jsummer. Are you chatting or do you seek clues?

Hurshy - Yup! Australia Day, to be precise. *Sighs! 'I guess that means I'll have to turn the dials on my Kitsch doorbell to 'Advance Australia Fair'.*
9:04 pm
hurshy
ma 4/6 except for the (algebra, calculus, etc) all the others have same 1st 3 letters
9:06 pm
Tim

9:06 pm
hurshy
yw, congrats tim!!!!!!!!!!
9:07 pm
Tim
Thats the one I needed.....Never was good at ma--
9:07 pm
Jacula
m4/6 (after the sums) - Think Star Wars - Darth M***
Next ma4/6 sounds like what you do after someone dies, or the break of day. Or 60s singer, Susan M.
Next ma4/6 sounds like a word for 'dead'.
9:07 pm
Jacula
Drat and double drat! Too late again! LOL.
Congrats, Tim!

9:19 pm

9:27 pm
LeslieAnn
lu 6 anyone?
9:27 pm
Jacula
Hoot, first off, have you got ho6/33 -' nothing in the middle'?
If so, take off the last letter for the 1st word and add another round vowel at the end for the 2nd.
9:29 pm
Jacula
LeslieAnn - lu6 - definition:
1. Anatomy. The inner open space or cavity of a tubular organ, as of a blood vessel or an intestine.
2. Abbr. lm Physics. The unit of luminous flux in the International System, equal to the amount of light given out through a solid angle by a source of one candela intensity radiating equally in all directions. See table at measurement.
3. Botany. The cavity bounded by a plant cell wall.
Sounds like lights.
9:31 pm
hootowl
Thats that! You're kidding on those definitions right?
9:31 pm
Jacula
Forbes - f4/12 o3/9.
9:32 pm
Jacula
Hoot - don't give up! All you have to to is cut and paste the definition into Google and you may well get the word. If not, I'll try to help some more.
9:33 pm
Jacula
Hoot - any idea where Wolfie is tonight?
9:34 pm
hootowl

LeslieAnn

9:45 pm

9:46 pm
LeslieAnn
i'm missing an mi so maybe: an after-dinner mi**? or change the last letter of that to a vowel
9:47 pm
hootowl
the list has an no 5/20 and an no 4/4 - have the nu
9:47 pm
Jacula
LeslieAnn - change the mint to a first vowel ending.

Jacula
Wolfie - THIS Friday? Hope all's okay? I'm on line, btw.
10:01 pm
GreyWoulf
Hey Jac! (*hug*) -- I forgot about the theme today -- will have to see what I can come up with -- I have soooo many choices ;)
10:01 pm
LeslieAnn
hoot you knew that off the def? you are a smartie!
10:02 pm
GreyWoulf
Yes - this Fri, Jac -- BP was a little too high at last dr visit and weight was up as well -- they moved up the date as a result -- nothing to worry about, just being cautious
Sebastian wants to come out early just like his sister did ;D
10:03 pm
Jacula
Wolfie - you couldn't do better than Jack London's 'White Fang' (which I had earlier) if you want a wolf. Hope you can find a version that doesn't squash the poor wolf till he looks like a white seal!
10:04 pm
hootowl
Ok - down to 3!

mu 4/8
mu 4/6

GreyWoulf
Jac -- I wish I had had the day off so I could have really had fun with the icons -- I could have changed my icon every half hour and only barely touched on all the really good books I have read :)
10:05 pm
Jacula
Wolfie - same here!
10:06 pm
GreyWoulf
lu6 -- the middle of to provide light (il-lu****-te)
10:07 pm
Jacula
Hoot - the mu4/8 has to do with Medieval entertainers who wore masks. Failing that, think what relation you are to Wolfie, in short form, change it to UK form and add an 'm' at the end.
10:07 pm
hootowl
Dumb, dumb, dumb! Blind as a bat!
10:07 pm
GreyWoulf
BTW -- I have to reload both my messengers, my neighbor finally reloaded my system and they got wiped as a result -- so when I get the chance I will be able to chat online again
10:10 pm
hootowl

10:13 pm
Jacula
mu4/6 - sounds like what you have in your wallet (or purse as we girls here in UK call our version of the cash carrier, no, not our handbags!) Otherwise, think first 4 letters of what city councils call themselves...

Yayyy for saphyre!!
10:25 pm
Jacula
Ah! Larry Niven's Ringworld. Not read those yet.
10:26 pm
GreyWoulf
wi5/28 -- take an n word that means neato or spiffy and change the 1st letter
10:27 pm
Kimm
Thanks GreyWoulf. Babblers are so generous.
10:28 pm
GreyWoulf
Kimm -- YW -- to be silent would be contrary to the name 'Babbler' ;D
10:28 pm
Jacula
Hello Kimm. Ah, wi5/28. No true definition. Think weavers' talk... warp and weft, and then take the second word and change the 1st vowel the the 3rd vowel in the vowel list, then add the 'sometimes' vowel at the end.
10:28 pm
Jacula
Failing that, think 'stinky' and change the 2nd 'f' to a 't'.
10:28 pm
Kimm
Thanks Jacula. One word left.
10:29 pm
Jacula
Brought Jack London's wolf back now, Wolfie. Had you refreshed and noticed?

11:06 pm
Jacula

11:15 pm
renfield
there's not enought letters in the grid to have it... it would need to be a sequel!!!!
11:16 pm
Jacula
I was just about to say something the same myself, Ren.
11:18 pm
Jacula
I wonder.... can the grid accommodate that immorta; word from 'Mary Poppins': supercalifragilisticexpi....
11:20 pm
renfield

11:21 pm
Jacula
LOL, Ren!
Any clue-hunters still out there, btw?

Aussie National Anthem:

Our home is girt by sea:
Our land abounds in nature's gifts
Of beauty rich and rare,
In history's page let every stage
Advance Australia fair,
In joyful strains then let us sing
Advance Australia fair.
Beneath our radiant Southern Cross,
We'll toil with hearts and hands,
To make this Commonwealth of ours
Renowned of all the lands,
For those who've come across the seas
We've boundless plains to share,
With courage let us all combine
To advance Australia fair.
In joyful strains then let us sing,
Advance Australia fair.
Okay! Done my bit for that now!
11:56 pm
