I was in a spelling bee tonight. I made it to the 8th round. Then I misspelled aberration.
12:33 am
Jacula
Bad luck, Harp. It's really irritating when you misspell a word you know, isn't it?
12:33 am
renfield
is today baby shower day?
12:35 am
Jacula
Yes, Ren., it's baby shower day. I don't have an icon ready other than a bad cartoon joke that either would not show up on here or, if it did, might be taken the wrong way! I might just put up a pic of Paul hogging the pc earlier instead....
12:35 am
cybernan
Keep wanting to enter pestle -- still didn't work on the fourth try!
12:36 am
krajcd55
P/7 32 - plural of p/6 21
12:36 am
Jacula
Cyber - that is most likely because your p and yor s are the wrong way around. Not yours... the grid's.
12:36 am
renfield
ok mistress...let's see paul hogging the pc!!!
12:37 am
krajcd55
oops...sorry!
12:37 am
Jacula
Okay, Ren. I will go and find where he's hidden my lastest digicam photo. I was sitting on hall floor sorting laundry when I spotted pic potential and he handed me the cam., btw.
12:38 am
renfield
ah...paul loves being a celeb!!!!
12:39 am

Indeed he is, Ren!
12:46 am
krajcd55
Why won't it take ousted?
12:46 am
Jacula
It's not my fault if I saw a photo opportunity just after he'd given me all of his clothes for laundering!
12:46 am
LeslieAnn
the s and t don't touch
12:46 am
cybernan
ousted isn't in the grid
12:47 am
helenkeller
uh, maybe cause the t isn't next to the s
12:47 am
Jacula
However, a secret can be ou**d!
12:47 am
krajcd55
Thanks!
12:47 am

yeah, but that's still not a 7

12:50 am
cybernan
you're on the right track, helen
12:52 am
helenkeller
found them both cyb, ty
12:54 am
Jacula
Thanks for those ou clues, Cybernan. They don't exist as word here in UK, I think, but the closest I can clue them to is the Pie Factory in the West Midlands - they offer an Cow Pie (llike Desperate Dan's). If you can eat all of that on your own, then you get another free.
12:55 am
Jacula
In other words, you have ou***n what their chef thought you would!
12:57 am
Jacula
Please excuse bad spelling because I am getting tired now.
12:57 am

There are a couple of 6's along the same line as well.

1:53 am
Atalante
phew! 191! I dreamt there were going to be 801. Eeep.
1:54 am
renfield
atalante - 801 would be a nightmare - right????
1:54 am
Atalante
mmmm yes, that's a better description!
1:58 am
Atalante
oooooh I *like* the 8 letter word
2:04 am
renfield
is it a storm or a baby crying? i guess for today it's a baby...or if could be a shower....
2:30 am
sprite
Morning dear gang!
2:35 am
sprite
Atalante... what a terrible dream! 801... I am not sure I would even start such a grid. Well... maybe start, but never finish.
2:57 am
sprite
It's terribly lonely here :P
2:59 am
ARB
I'm here, on a beautiful sunny morning.
2:59 am
sprite
Hi ARB! It's sunny here too, though very cold. Love to see some sun! How is the grid coming along?
3:01 am
ARB
Just started, and I have 60 words including the 8
3:02 am
sprite
Great going! Haven't found the 8 yet, but still going strong at 83.
3:05 am
ARB
But I may have to go outside -- it's over 25 C. blue skies and not a cloud to be seen -- though the wind is coming from the east, meaning that soon we will get sand in the air from the deserts to the east of Israel.
3:05 am
sprite
Sounds like you need to make use of the opportunity now then :)
3:06 am
ARB
The outside is calling -- shalom
3:13 am
Atalante
do you think *anyone* would finish a 801 word grid?
3:14 am
sprite
Well... it might be considered a challenge. If someone would do nothing else but babbling all day... it could be done. Argh!
Finished yesterday's fairly quick, so if it would be a grid that flowed as well as that...
NO NO NO NO NOOOOOOO!
Better not think about that, LOL!
3:15 am
FMitch
Morningeveryone
Sprite please don't tempt the fates!!
3:16 am
Atalante
maybe Dr_G would give us two days for such a thing!
3:17 am
Chris P
Is it me or is this one hard going??
3:17 am
sprite
Hi FMitch! You are right... let me tell the babble gods this was NOT an order!
Atalante, could you please share a clue on the 8? I keep looking for words I know you would love, LOL, and it is getting me nowhere.
3:18 am
sprite
Cris P: so far so good, but not as easy as yesterday.
3:18 am
renfield
sprite - it could get a little stormy if 8 came about
3:20 am
Atalante
um yeah, what renfield says :)
3:21 am
sprite
:)
So now I am hunting for a stormy something... may I beg for a first letter?
3:21 am
Atalante
its very SSSSSSStormy :)
3:22 am
FMitch
Sprite look for the s6/27 and then buld on that.
3:23 am
sprite
Okay... completely new word for me! Thanks a lot :)
I did find the 6/27 by accident, so that clue worked for me. Stormy, hm...? Interesting word!
3:24 am
Atalante
its a nice word, isn't it? it sounds stormy
3:25 am
renfield
sprite - it's also a souther usa expression for a baby having a crying fit & temper tantrum
3:25 am
sprite
Certainly does. "Probably of Scandinavian origine" the dictionary says. Sounds like that too.
3:25 am
sprite
How very fitting on the baby shower day then ;)
3:28 am
sprite
I also love the private eye word!
3:33 am
sprite
I am on a monologue here, but I need to ask: do you all have the ballet F7/44?
3:34 am
FMitch
Wsa busy looking for the private eye word, havent found it, and don't have a single 7 yet. Can't believe it!
3:34 am
sprite
Starts out crazy and ends very French.
3:34 am
Haz1558
It's a French word.
3:35 am
Haz1558
It has the same ending as tobacco tubes
3:35 am
Haz1558
fo5 is a shortened version
3:36 am
Haz1558
Sorry - cancel that!
3:36 am
Atalante
ah yes. nice word!
3:36 am
sprite
Private eye SL6/24
3:37 am
FMitch
Exceleent, a ligh bulb moment and found both. Thanks
3:38 am
sprite
So6/27: can anyone tell me what that MEANS???
I mean... I know what So4/6 is, of course. But how can that become a verb?
3:38 am
Haz1558
su6/21 - Hindu widow's fate
3:39 am
lshult
How come Haha is a word, but Hehe isn't?
3:39 am
sprite
My thought exactly, Ishult.
3:40 am
Haz1558
haha was originally used to describe a low fence
3:40 am
Atalante
I wonder if its so6 as in "so6 up", but that sounds too much of a slang term for enable ..
3:40 am
Haz1558
There are references to a haha in Jane Austen
3:41 am
sprite
Sa5/12 - 6/21: starchy meal ground from the dried roots of various Old World orchids of the genera Orchis and Eulophia, used for food and formerly as medicine (+ plural)
3:42 am
Atalante
a low fence, or a small rise beyond a ditch - used for boundary measures etc
3:43 am
sprite
Funny word, haha.
3:44 am
sprite
Lots of Hebrew words today! I have 2 letters and a priestly garb.
3:49 am
sprite
Another interesting one, and almost family of this sprite: O4/7 - 5/16 - 6/27. Fairy, goblin or changeling child.
3:55 am
ruthy
morning all. can anyone please give me a clue for the fo 7/44
3:56 am
Haz1558
Ruthy - it's a French word, used in ballet (means little whip, I think). It has the same ending as tobacco tubes.
3:56 am
davetins
hi ruthy, it's a ballet movement sounds french
4:02 am
sprite
I am done. Any clues needed?
4:07 am
FMitch
Congrats Sprite.

Okay, I am off then. Happy hunting all.

Haz1558
The silence is eery. Does this mean that everyone has found this easy and finished? Or is everyone busy trying to grind out words? Whatever the reason, I have to go. (I haven't found it easy and I haven't finished)
5:40 am
Dianne
I haven't found it that easy either and I also am not finished :(
5:41 am

5:55 am
sha
its crazy yest 408 words but quite easy
5:56 am
FMitch
You're right Eva, I started with great guns and found the 8 within 6 words and then it's been downhill ever since. Am on116.
5:56 am
Eva
I missed out on most of the puzzle yesterday. Life intervened; Missed the fun, but the living room is painted.
5:57 am
Eva
got all but one of the 7's right away too-they were easy-but the smaller words are a grind!
5:57 am
FMitch
... now if there were an r or an n in there, it would be so much easier... LOL. Must admitI didn't even attempt yesterdays.
5:58 am
Eva
Also stayed up late to watch the figure skating.
6:02 am
FMitch
just peeked at BJ's list, how can there ber 12 x ou's ? Oh well at least it's stopped snowing and the sun is shining. :)
6:04 am

Does anyone want a clue at this particular point in time?
6:13 am

6:14 am
Eva
congrats trish!
6:14 am
trishtrash
ty sha, eva :) I wish I felt wiser for knowing all these odd little words.
6:16 am
Eva
Have to go feed the cat. Back later. I know Trish - I really enoy the ones with "real" words-rather than ones where I'm monkey typing things which I don't know at all. If I remembered them after I could at least feel I'd learned something, but no such hope.
6:17 am
FMitch
WTG Trish, there are a few babble words in here today.
6:18 am

8:09 am
EvaNadine

hehe
8:10 am
musicmom
That sounds like fun Faerie. Thursdays are busy days for our entire family. So, I didn't get done yesterday. I had over 300 words though. Today I have to go to a meeting to find a place to hold our summer classes, go dress shopping and get my hair cut.
8:10 am
musicmom
I missed something. Why are you on pain pills? Be careful about driving!
8:11 am
faeriekae
Evan-LOL Exactly * _ * thats the word "floofy"
8:11 am

faeriekae
Bunny - yeah, yeah, yeah I've heard it all. I've taken so much crap over this it's not even funny. My friend John said he would put a slide in for me.....How nice is that......I can help that my dog got between my feet and tripped me.

Hello all, haven't been around for awhile. Been babbling but no time to get on the board. I need a clue and then I must go. There are 4 pe6's
pe6/24 used to move your bike faster
pe6/24 ?
pe6/21 boat
pe6/24 what you do to an animal you like
I even A2Z'd it and couldn't find it. Help anyone please
9:49 am
harpjane
Hi Marc, add a vowel to pe 5/14.
9:49 am
Jacula
Hi Marc - a kind of small pleasure boat.
9:50 am
72 Temple Owl
hi harp, marc jacs...
9:51 am
Jacula
Hello Temple, Harp, Marc.
9:51 am
Marc Freeman
thanks Harpane, I thought I did that several times, also the word is not in A2Z.
Thanks again, I have got to go.
10:09 am
72 Temple Owl
how are you, jacs?
10:12 am
Jacula
Better now, thanks, Temple. Are you okay?
Those last 2 'le' combo words are silly!
10:14 am
72 Temple Owl
a little : ( but it'll be ok..and you ?
10:15 am
Jacula
Yes, Temple. I'm over the 'fluey stomach bug thing now. Kids still have it though.:-(
10:21 am
72 Temple Owl
yuk...at one high school herre nearly 500 were out with one although when there's that many it could be food borne
10:24 am
72 Temple Owl
did you get fo7/34 yet? or see an clues in the log?
10:25 am
Jacula
With such extensive air travel these illnesses are pretty much worldwide these days.
10:26 am
Jacula
fo7/44 - a whipping movement in ballet. Ends like a smoking tube.
10:28 am
Jacula
(3rd letter is a vowel that sounds like 'you'.)
10:32 am
Deutsch
Gottit, Jacula, TY
Hi everyone.
10:33 am
72 Temple Owl
yes, me too! thanks! hi deutsch!
10:34 am
Jacula
Hi Deutsch.
10:34 am
tbear
Hey Jacs....you still at it....WOW did I wake up with a hangover this morning!!
10:35 am
Deutsch
Hi tbear, what did you do last night?
Glad to hear Temple and jac are doing better
10:36 am
Jacula
Hi TBear. Nearly finished. A hangover? Oh dear! Try drinking 'Resolve'. (Paracetamol & rehydrating stuff.)
10:36 am
72 Temple Owl
hey bear! : )
10:37 am
72 Temple Owl
i need the very first word in the grid and i have a feeling i'll need the fish, too...
10:40 am
hydra
1st word means A thick, colorless to pale yellow liquid, C4H8O2, obtained from acetaldehyde.
10:40 am
Jacula
al5/12 - A thick, colorless to pale yellow liquid, C4H8O2, obtained from acetaldehyde and used in perfumery and as a solvent.
Sounds like Mr. Gore + an endless child's toy.
10:42 am
72 Temple Owl
jacs: add an h and it becomes an antipsychotic
thanks for the clue! now i need a te 4 - fourth up from the bottom
10:43 am
Jacula
te4 you want sounds like short communication instruments (phones).
10:45 am
72 Temple Owl
it is after that one and before the scramble family animal + a
10:47 am
Jacula
No, it's 3 above that.
10:48 am
Deutsch
scramble family animal? Not familiar with that. Thus, I'm on a quest!
10:48 am
Jacula
It's before the one that is an anagram of fuel dug from bogs or meatpaste.
10:48 am
Jacula
I'm all done!
10:50 am
Deutsch
Yea, for Jacula!
10:50 am
Jacula
My last word was ve4/8. I had to a2z it. I'd never have got it! It's apparently 'slang for vice-president.
10:51 am
Deutsch
Jacula, yes, that ve is slang for the VP
10:53 am
72 Temple Owl
OK:
te 4/ 4 udder end
te 5/ 10 plural
te 4/ 4 sounds like beginning of phone
te 4/ 4 as above
te 4/ 4
te 4/ 5 backward family animal + vowel
te 4/ 5 hebrew letter
te 4/ 4 vietnamese new years
10:53 am
72 Temple Owl
whoo - hoo jacula! well done!
10:55 am
tbear
hi temple and deutsch.....impromptu gin and tonic session at the pub.....which as always was great at the time but hell this morning
10:57 am
Deutsch
tbear, sounds like fun. We did that Wednesday night.
10:58 am
72 Temple Owl
hydra: just saw your first word clue - thank you! : )
10:59 am
tbear
It really annoys me that I can drink like a trooper and not get silly and feel absolutely fine only to wake like 'living death' in the morning.......
11:01 am
Deutsch
tbear, I used to be able to do that. Close the bar, get very little sleep, then go off to work. But not anymore. But I still enjoy the occasional night out.
11:02 am
Jacula
I need to go, folks. Happy Babbling!
11:02 am
smaller
tbear,
that's like that Howard Jones' song.
"You can take a dip by the pool but your not allowed to swim, you're the fastest runner but you're not allowed to win.
Doctor says you're cured but you still feel the pain.
something something and ends with a rhyme with pain."
11:03 am

11:44 am
Adsman
helllllllllloooooooooooooooooo people its friday yes its friday
11:44 am
smithchick
Hey, ruthy. I haven't been on here long, but I haven't seen him. Last I heard, he was having problems posting on the chat log.
11:45 am
ruthy
hope hes ok after yesterday
11:45 am
smithchick
Hello, adsman! Friday would be a lot more fun if I wasn't expecting a visit from the in-laws this weekend. Short notice, too.
11:45 am
Adsman
I take it thats a bad thing smithchic
11:47 am
Adsman
what happened yesterday ruthy
11:47 am
smithchick
They're nice, it's just she is a clean freak and I am a babble freak. The two (as far as my house in concerned) aren't necessarily compatible. So I broke out the list early today so I can finish in a hurry. I prefer taking my time, but there is much cleaning to do. Just shy of a white glove inspection...
11:48 am
Adsman
lol is it that bad?
11:48 am
ruthy
someone called no1 came on asking about lemon said that he was going to get him in school today and basically he should live where he does cause he doesnt speak proper english
11:50 am
Adsman
what an *%$£$ theres no need for that lemons cool from the impression on the board. some kids are a waste of space not all are like that thankfully
11:51 am
smithchick
The house or the in-laws? The house- YES. I live with lazy, messy slobs. Hubby didn't tell me until last night, late. The kids already have stuff that they have to do, so they will be no help cleaning up their messes. You have to literally shovel your way through the girls' room.
Mom-in-law won't say anything mean, she'll just nonchalantly clean something and I'll feel guilty and slovenly. Then I'll have to cook something.
11:54 am
EvaNadine
afternoon all!
11:54 am
Adsman
thats allways the worst smith im sure it will be fine : )
11:55 am
gramma
smithchick, I feel guilty now. I also clean at my daughter-in-laws house....I don't do it to be judgemental or anything bad...I just would like to do something. You know, help in any way I can. I never thought that might irk her. Oops ;{
11:56 am
Jen
Afternoon everyone!!
11:56 am
Adsman
My Mums the same Gramma, I think its just natural
11:56 am
EvaNadine
my mom always cleans something whenever shes at my house, so now i just kinda "leave out" the things i need cleaning...hehe...
"oh my mom, you didnt hafta do the laundry! but thank you ever so much!!"
11:57 am
Adsman
Lol Evan, thats my policy works a dream everytime hehe
11:57 am
smithchick
Hey, jen. Gramma, she doesn't do it to be mean in any way either. She's really a very sweet woman. It's my own guilt rearing it's ugly head. I'm just not as neat as she is and so I feel like a lazy bum around her. Your daughter-in-law probably isn't as self-conscience as I am.
11:58 am
gramma
evandine, we like doing it. I'm babysitting today and there's really nothing for me to do when she's napping....so, I do laundry or tidy up a bit.
11:59 am
caitlyn
Afternoon/Evening all just popping in for a few mins got to go to a 18th birthday party shortly!!!!!
11:59 am
smithchick
My mom comes over and doesn't do a darn thing. I go helpl her at her house! LOL
11:59 am
Jen
smithchick, I always clean a lot better before my in-laws come too. I always feel like I want them to know I'm taking care of their baby boy! With my parents, they couldn't care less!
11:59 am
Adsman
Lol Smith see your not lazy at all
12:00 pm
smithchick
Hi, caitlyn! I hope I haven't made you feel bad, gramma... If you went over to my sister's house and cleaned the whole thing, she'd be pleased as punch. I have a very over-active guilt thing.
12:00 pm
Deutsch
My mom's mom was like that. Whenever Grandma came to visit, she cleaned while Mom was at work. It really irked my mom until she realized that was just her way of showing affection. Like how some moms cook for you. (That was my mom's thing) she doesn't clean my house, she cooks. LOL
12:01 pm
EvaNadine
my mom is just fidgety, cant sit still...
ive watched her clean the same thing in her house 5 times in a row because she cant just sit there.
so i figure ill harness her energies for my use!
hehe
12:01 pm
Adsman
Mums cooking is always the best
12:02 pm
Adsman
well im off to start the weekend bye all
12:02 pm
caitlyn
Adsman you havent tried mine !!!!!!!
12:02 pm
smithchick
LOL, evana! Hubby's mom cooks and cleans to show affection. Pity the poor fool who goes to her house and doesn't eat at least two helpings of everything. There must be something drastically wrong! I've gained many a pound compliments of my mom-in-law's cooking!
12:02 pm
smithchick
Bye, adsman! Have a good one!
12:04 pm
EvaNadine
my moms the cleaner...dads the cooker...hehe
"but i made those potatoes because i knew you liked them...what do you mean you dont want them?"
12:05 pm
smithchick
My mom went on strike a few years ago and now only cooks on holidays. She is the cleaner around her house and she calls me in for reinforcement.
12:08 pm
EvaNadine
my mom cant cook to save her life, but she can get any stain out of any fabric!
and my dad cant even put his own candy wrappers in the trash, but he can whip up a gormet meal in mere minutes!
12:08 pm
EvaNadine
sometimes the drive the rest of us bonkers, but they work well together.
:)
12:09 pm
smithchick
LOL, evana. I call my mom-in-law the stain removal queen and since I married into the family and have learned at her feet, I'm the stain removal princess!
12:10 pm
EvaNadine
i cant cook or clean...mainly because i dont enjoy either and have never really learned how...hehe...
i know enough of each to make do.
:)
12:10 pm
caitlyn
Has LEMONed been in today?
12:11 pm
Jen
Can someone tell me what the broo-ha-ha is with LEMONed? I wasn't on yesterday and must have missed something.
12:11 pm
EvaNadine
caitlyn -- i havent seen him, but i havent been around much myself
12:11 pm
smithchick
I can clean with the best of them when I feel compelled. Lately I've been frustrated by the lack of help around my house, so I haven't been doing much. I don't enjoy cooking at all. Kids are picky eaters and don't like much. What I do cook is okay, but nothing fabulous.
12:13 pm
smithchick
Some punk kid got on here and was making ethnic slurs (badly spelled, no less) about LEMONed and threatened to "get him" at school today. It was made known that his presence was unwelcome and he left. We Hate Him!!!
12:13 pm
caitlyn
Jen LEMONed joined a couple of days ago he is a Japanese boy who is learning English
12:13 pm
Jen
I "met" him the other day, but did someone run him off?
12:14 pm
Jen
Correct me if I'm wrong, but making threats, even on-line, is illegal! Poor LEMONed.
12:15 pm
smithchick
Yesterday smaller said he emailed her and was unable to chat. We don't know if he had a computer glitch or got booted off accidentally because of the whole no1 thing. (no1 is the imbecile who was making ignorant comments).
12:15 pm
LEMONed
Aa, so I arrive and I am the main topic all ready ^^ Yes, I am very sorry about what happened yesterday :/
12:16 pm
Jen
We are glad you are back! :)
12:16 pm
LEMONed
Thank you Jen! ^^ I am glad to be back...my chat log box seem to go yesterday...strange!

Atalante
ignore them at school, LEMONed - it sounds like they are the sort of idiot kids who will pick on people for anything - if not skin colour, then weight, or height, or wearing glasses, or anything stupid they feel like

LEMONed. Missed you yesterday. Sorry to hear there was a problem. It's a shame people can be so mean. You are taking a big step in learning a new language (and doing well with it) and moving so far from home. Hang in there. You are the better than they are.

1:46 pm
LEMONed
warai...now I am confused!
1:46 pm
Vicuna
Pfft is really just a spelling of a sound. But it's the sound you make when dismissing something.
1:47 pm
Judi
Ha ha, hee hee, ho ho! They're coming to take me away. PFFT! There I go.
1:47 pm
LEMONed
Aa, I recognized that now, I think...it is the sound my English teacher continal makes! warai, she is get exasperated with my bad accent :)

Good afternoon. Had a busy morning with meetings, lunch at an Indian restaurant and dress shopping. back for more babbling. How are you all? Jac - still haven't finished my song. Need to work on that too.
1:51 pm

Afternoon MM! :)
1:51 pm
Tigereye
If it's in your list it probably is valid...
1:51 pm
Karys
thats a new one to me Cinda
1:51 pm
Vicuna
I was really hoping "squittle" would be a word. I'm thinking we're all squittling away our lives here on Babble!
1:51 pm
LEMONed
warai, I am guess I am, I think you say "bringing up the rear", here!
1:52 pm
FMitch
cindasu try F5 refresh, that usually cures most hic ups here
1:52 pm
Vicuna
Cinda, when in doubt, try refreshhing.
1:52 pm
Karys
that doesn't sound too bad Musicm
1:52 pm
Judi
Cinda - hit refresh. That should clean it up.
1:52 pm
musicmom
Vicuna - I love that word. Squittle ---excellent.
Hi Jen.
1:52 pm
Karys
I like that Vicuna....its a good word !!
1:53 pm
renfield
kind of sounds like a gummy candy
1:53 pm
musicmom
Nope it wasn't too bad Karys. A good reason to go dress shopping I've lost so much weight I didn't have anything to wear to Greg's gig next weekend.
1:53 pm
Karys
we should all get together and demand certain words should be acceptable !!!
1:53 pm
LEMONed
Squittle?! Back in Kyoto, there was a candy call 'squittle'!
1:53 pm
cindasu
thank you that did it ..it's gone
1:54 pm
Vicuna
Well, if we're demanding words, we could start with "fest"!
1:54 pm
Vicuna
Wow, was it gummy?
1:54 pm
renfield
lemon - what kind of candy is it?
1:54 pm
Karys
ooooh...musicm...thats great for you....very sad here...I would love to lose some weight...(willpower is not my strong suit !)
1:55 pm
Atalante
mmm Japanese candy
1:55 pm
Karys
I couldn't believe 'fest' wasn't a word....I'm sure it has benn accepted before !!
1:56 pm
LEMONed
It was kind of sour...the lady who own the shop made it herself :) Vicuna-san, if I am knowing what you mean by 'gummy' then yes, it was! warai...you have, I think you say a sixth sense!
1:56 pm
Vicuna
Nope, Karys, it's never accepted, (although fete is, which often appears in the same grid.)
1:56 pm
musicmom
Karys- I gave up on dieting. Approached it from the exercise standpoint instead. I started with mall walking, but switched to yoga about 4 -5 years ago. Recently added belly dancing. Surprisingly the more I excercised the less I wanted junk food and even chocolate. I am now satisfied with one or two pieces of chocolate instead of the whole box. One slice instead of a whole cake.
1:56 pm
Judi
Hey, how about and April Fool's Grid where nothing is allowed except words like "fest", "oreo", pfft, etc.
1:57 pm
LEMONed
Then again, there is also a brand of drink call 'kikpoo'. Now that I learn what the word 'kick' and 'poo' mean...I could never take it serious again!
1:57 pm
Vicuna
It was renfield with the sixth sense! (After all, I thought squittle should be a verb, not a noun.)
1:57 pm
Uneaixoise
judi, great idea! LOL!
1:57 pm
musicmom
That sounds good Judi - we could monkey type our day away.
1:57 pm
Atalante
calpis is just as bad in English!
1:58 pm
Vicuna
Wait, you mean that's not what the grid is every day?
1:58 pm
Karys
musicm....would like to try more exercise....have a game plan for the better weather here
1:58 pm

Anyone have a clue for the fo 7

warai Atalante-san! ^^
1:59 pm

I love Gershwin too. I've never seen Porgy and Bess, but I love all the songs. This is the first time in 70 years that the Gershwin original has been staged. He only saw it once, as he died less than a year later.

7:46 pm
periwinkle
Vicuna, don't have that one yet
7:46 pm
Vicuna
that fu5 and 6 add a consonant to the end of the previous fu4. Apparently it's an undesirable element in alcohol, but since I think alcohol is the undesirable element in alcohol, don't ask me!
7:47 pm
mab
I've just begun to attack the ou's...
7:47 pm
Vicuna
(I mean add the consonant for the fu5. For the fu6, its plural.)

8:44 pm
helenkeller
lol leslie, unlike chicago, where there are no cops to give out tickets, or seems like it any, so many lunatics out there - my car mantra is 'follow the rules of the road' ala follow the yellow brick road with munchin accent, cuts down on the cussing
8:44 pm
LeslieAnn
mab, opposite of in + hair**
8:45 pm
LeslieAnn
chicago cops are crazy, if you do something illegal on the road they'll just laugh at you

I pulled him back up on the wagon, mab!!!!!!! And put a seat belt on him so he can't get away again!!!!!

9:26 pm
GreyWoulf
Thanks tor --- if he is anything like his sister, I am doomed ;D
9:27 pm

That intelligent look is sometimes attributed to gas (especially in my case) so we'll keep looking for new pics ..
9:34 pm

brb -- I am being yelled at by my cat -- the one that never says anything so it must be important ;)
9:35 pm

When dealing with cats, remember one thing -- cats LOVE to fly ..
9:37 pm
GreyWoulf
The scary thing is that mine do!
Many is the time I have tossed one across the room only to have it come back asking for more :)
9:43 pm
JoJoFunLvg
Woulfie: So glad to hear that Sebe is doing well. Been wondering what has happened.
9:43 pm
mab
Alright, you two -- tossing the cat? I rarely even raise my voice to any of the cats I've had. Of course, I do ocassionally sedate one of them... The really neurotic one..... takes after her mum....
9:43 pm

Now playing: Girl U Want -- Devo.

Hi JoJo! How are you?
9:45 pm
GreyWoulf
mab -- we all have our own special ways of bonding with our pets :D
9:46 pm
JoJoFunLvg
No, Woulfie wasn't around last nite, but asked about Sebe on Wednesday, but guess you weren't on-line, understandably so, since he just came home from the hospital. No one responded. So glad your Sebe is in good shape.
9:47 pm
mab
Yes, I expect being tossed about is critical during the attachment phase. I'll remember that if I ever should meet you.
9:50 pm
JoJoFunLvg
Mab: Doing OK. Had a trip to the tax guy on Tuesday, have to get more info for him regarding investments. Still waiting to hear back from our financial advisor. Putting my husband's 1975 Corvette on sale on Craigslist.com. Hope we can sell it. Need a new car, but hate car payments, and won't take out of our savings for a stupid thing like a car. At our age, once savings are gone, there is no way to recoup.
9:50 pm
GreyWoulf
mab -- actually the tossing came later -- when we first got Twitch (my black and white) from the shelter, she was a kitten and I don't think her feet touched the ground for longer than five minutes at a time due to me carrying her around -- She is the first cat I ever had who would come when I called her (before she got pat and lazy)
9:53 pm
mab
That sounds sensible JoJo, but isn't your husband going to miss his classic car? I would be nicer to have a safe, comfortable new one, though.
9:54 pm
Jera
Hey all... down to my final dirty dozen... need help with second pe6/24... the one after plural of bike mover... help, please?

JoJoFunLvg
Mab: My husband restores classic vehicles as a hobby, and he is very good at it. He has already bought a 1979 VW pop up van, so that will keep him busy. He rarely drives the Corvette. I told him though that he has to get rid of the 1970 Jeep CJ5, which our son bought from us, and the Corvette, before he brings the VW Bus home. Our daughter says she will buy it after dad restores it, but we have to paint it PINK!!! Don't think my husband will do that.
9:57 pm

Jera -- I am in a similar state myself -- I may not finish due to falling asleep --- I have had about 3 hrs sleep each night since Seb got home :)
10:00 pm
torgone
....And I ran ...
10:00 pm
mab
Oh, I see, JoJo. That's a great thing that he is able to do that - he probably enjoys it, and it's profitable. I think your daughter wants a Barbie-mobile.
10:01 pm
Jera
9 more to go... such a shame not to finish... I never got back to that huge honkin' one yesterday... left over 100 & it really shot my ranking...
10:02 pm
JoJoFunLvg
Mab: Our daughter just likes pink!! No Barbie. But pink was really Cwazy back in the sixties, and so were VW buses. I know.
10:02 pm

anyone?
10:02 pm
GreyWoulf
mab -- on Long Island there is a house a few blocks from where I used to live that was remodeled to look exactly like the Barbie dream home.....
It was creepy :)
10:03 pm
Jera
Sheesh... this fo7 has me beat as well... help?
10:03 pm
mab
I'm sure you did something to provoke the cat, torgone. Mine are practically perfect in every way and would never scratch without a good reason. I think you just don't like cats. That's what I think. And cats can tell, you know.
