4:41 am

Jacula

4:45 am

Eva

Oh my... 10lb 9oz and FABIO is the dad!!

4:50 am

Admit it- the only way this could happen is if you tripped him and beat him to the floor. Congratulations on your cat-like reflexes

4:51 am

mrpresident

4:52 am

Jacula

5:00 am

kaynanda

what is ge5?

5:03 am

mrpresident

ok, in my lovely comfy bed now... aaahhhhhhh!!!

clues are now available!!

5:04 am

Haz1558

ge 5/16 - The hypothetical surface of the earth that concides everywhere with mean sea level.
Or ge plus three letters meaning 'of a type'

5:06 am

Haz1558

Gosh, it would be a long way! My icon is Portstewart strand, Co Londonderry - yours is very recognisable!

5:07 am

mrpresident

k... ge is the first two letters.... 5 is the amound of letters in the word...

5:07 am

kaynanda

Oh okay - thanks Mr President

5:07 am

mrpresident

ge 5/16 = ge is the first two letters, total letters is 5, and 16 is the word score in total... hope that helps!

5:08 am

kaynanda

and where do you get these clues? I am clueless :)

5:08 am

Haz1558

Kaynanda - it's a type of 'code' we use to help us recognise which words we are talking about.
sc5/14 means that the word begins with sc, has 5 letters and when the points values are added up (and doubled because it's a 5, you get 14 points.
Have a look at Babble rules.

5:08 am

mrpresident

k on the right is the babble friends.... go to Babblers Anon and open for general ... then go to stats for todays puzzle

5:09 am

mrpresident

this is the link http://p105.ezboard.com/bbabbl ersanonymous

5:10 am

ExWren

I couldn't manage a sunrise, mine is sunset, leaving Trindad

5:12 am

5:15 am

ExWren

Hi Mrp. I am determined to make the journey 'down-under' one day, if only I can persuade hubby to make the long journey. He says he will go if we can travel business class! His Granddaughter lives in Sydney

5:16 am

mrpresident

ExWren... it is a darn long trip... I can understand wanting to go business class!!!

But it is beautiful and wonderful and you have your family and me to entertain you both when you come!!!

We would love to have you here... invitation is open for ever!!

5:20 am

mrpresident

Haz... where is Londonderry? and tell me a little about it please... looks lovely!

5:23 am

Haz1558

Sorry, Mr P - was distracted there. Londonderry is one of the six counties of Northern Ireland. Portstewart is one of the seaside towns with a magnificent strand or beach. The 'sea' is the Atlantic ocean so sea bathing is not for the faint-hearted.

5:24 am

mrpresident

bbrrrrrrrr!!!!

5:25 am

kaynanda

Thanks guys - that helps. I am finally begining to get the idea.

Am trying to talk someone into letting me use their card to turn pro - really like this place

5:25 am

mrpresident

Ah... a county....Londonderry is the one of the biggest?

5:26 am

Haz1558

Yes, it would be one of the biggest. Londonderry is also the name of the city/county town.

5:27 am

mrpresident

kay... it took me few games to get addicted!... then the OH let me use the card and have been on here for 'ever' now!! You will enjoy the stats you get... hope you join the pro-team!

5:29 am

Haz1558

Right, I'm about to brave six inches of snow and take the dog out for a walk. She loves the snow - I am less keen but I enjoy the fresh air.

5:29 am

mrpresident

everyone.... I went through the players list with licketysplitAUS yesterday.... he was asking me who I know.... I could discuss over 60 players with him!!!

He was amazed... and everyone one of you that I mentioned to him was with adjectives of great affection!!

He thinks this is one of the best chats in the world!!

faeriekae

6:53 am

musicmom

Hey Faerie - Just popping in to say hello and tell you not to worry about me if I'm not around today through Sunday.
I know you were asking yesterday and I appreciate it.

6:54 am

musicmom

We have a GS meeting tonight that i'm headed out to shop for. Tomorrow Sarah is in a Choir Festival all day in a neighboring town and Sunday I have a leader meeting for GS and Greg plays a gig Sunday night. Don't know how much chat time I'm going to have.

6:55 am

faeriekae

MM-Thank you Sweetie (((((x))))) I want you to try to relax and take a load off (if possible)

6:56 am

musicmom

Well, if nothing else I'll be distracted<g> They did rearrest the guy yesterday and gave him a much higher bail without a surety. He Should stay locked up until trial in April. That is a relieve.

6:56 am

faeriekae

I've a big weekend planed also and I'm not sure how much I'll be able to chat. Supose to go back up North to John's place tonight through Sunday. But I'm really not into it so I may just tell him to take his kids and go on up without me.

6:56 am

musicmom

You got any of those cinnamon rolls for the road?

6:57 am

mrpresident

bail... locked up!!!??? what is that about...
I NEED DETAIL!!

6:57 am

capone

you mean more words that aren't according to babble?

toadie? come on!

6:58 am

musicmom

MrP if you want the whole scoop go to yesterday's log around 10:30 or 11:00 a.m. Short and sweet one of my daughter's friends lost her mom when her dad shot her with an AK 47 while he was tripped out on drugs. The stupid judge had let him out on bail.

6:58 am

faeriekae

MM-I did get up at 4:15 this morning and popped them in the oven to have to take up North. The kids love them. So here you take a plate full. I made 4 cinnamon nutrolls...They melt in your mouth..

6:58 am

musicmom

Faerie - I think it would be a good idea for you to stay home and rest that shoulder. If you go up there you will over do it even if you don't think so.

6:59 am

musicmom

Hmmmmmmmm delicious! Thanks!

6:59 am

shorty

MM Is this in Ohio

musicmom

It was in the Columbus Dispatch last Thursday or Friday

7:01 am

faeriekae

MM-I think you are right-we have so much to do up there and I simply cannot sit and just watch him work. The kids are going skiing and snowmobiling. Maybe I will stay home that way is son Mathew will help him instead. Mathew is 16.

7:02 am

musicmom

Yep. Snuggle in warm - you still have snow right? and let Matthew do the work. You can go later.

7:03 am

shorty

WOW I think I do remember hearing about that

7:03 am

faeriekae

MM-I do appreciate your concern for my shoulder. It is feeling better every day. The PT is really helping. I've been everyday this week and I go again today at 2:30.
Thank You.

7:03 am

musicmom

Okay >I really do need to get a shower and head out. I'm picking up my co-leader in a little bit to help me prepare for the meeting. Have a great weekend everyone. I hope to have time to play but probably won't.

7:04 am

shorty

Good Luck MM I'll be praying for you also

7:04 am

faeriekae

MM-we just go a fresh 10" of snow yesterday....yuck. Matt is strong kid he "needs" to be helping his Father. You are right, I'm staying home....

He said yes I thought I was crazy the day I had a truck dump at giant 7 ton rock in my back yard. and then 3 more trucks showed up with smaller boulders and dumped them in my yard. Only a crazy person would order so much rock....

Thank you MrP....that was very thoughtful of you....

Fae...
We are so lucky and our troubles so small compared to those children... we are indeed lucky... but the love we must share with the people affected is what gets them through... God Bless!

Jen... beautiful news!!

8:00 am

faeriekae

MrP-Yes you are right. We pray for those left behind to see through all the grief and pain. It is amazing how relationships can be built just through the internet but I truly hurt for MusicMom and her daughter and of course the family who lost thier Mommy, Sister, Daughter, Cousin or Friend.

I'm upper, upper, class high society.
God's gift to ballroom notoriety
And I always fill m ballroom
The event is never small.
All the social papers say I've got the biggest balls of all

I've got big balls
I've go big balls
And they're such big balls
Dirty big balls
And he's got big balls
And she's got big balls
But we've got the biggest balls of them all!

12:46 pm

I like to kiss a lot, too Smaller. But hubby goes away too much.

12:47 pm

LOL Smithie!!

12:48 pm

faeriekae

And my balls are always bouncing
My ballroom always full
And everybody comes and comes again
If your name is on the guest list
No one can take you higher
Everybody says I've got the great balls of fire!

12:48 pm

smithchick

I don't even want to know the source of that, faerie...

12:50 pm

faeriekae

Some balls are held for charity
And some for fancy dress
But when they're held for pleasure,
They're the balls that I like best
And my balls are always bouncing
To the left and to the right
It's my belief that my big balls should be held every night

Good to hear it. My middle daughter went to the doctor today to see if her broken foot had healed. She's been in a walking boot for six weeks. Alas, she has to wear it for two more weeks. She was not a happy camper. It's a real incovenience for an active 11 yr. old.

I have no sons. My mother in law loves that because she had three boys and no daughters so now she has granddaughters.

1:57 pm

convenient! Sarah is 12 in my favourite month :) warai, they should be grateful they are free of older brothers...I should know :)

no, keep using them lemon! it's the only way to get the hang of it. :)

2:22 pm

hurshy

it's not your language skills, lemon, i am not sure what Yvo meant either

2:22 pm

LEMONed

warai, I will then...Aa, I am lucky to have such amazing English teachers to keep me on track!

2:23 pm

Yvo

2:24 pm

hurshy

yes, but Yvo, lemon's clue is still on the money - just cut off the a

2:25 pm

LEMONed

gomen, I did not make it clear!

2:25 pm

Yvo

my mistake was i wanted to make it an ing ending
sorry

2:26 pm

hurshy

you did fine, lemon. we just don't always get each other's clues. :)

2:26 pm

LEMONed

warai, it was my fault! gomen nasai, Yvo-san :)

2:27 pm

LEMONed

arigato Hurshy-sensei! ^^ I should probably think it through better next time...I was just so excited at being able to help someone for once, instead of the other way around!

2:28 pm

hurshy

people don't always get my clues either :)

2:28 pm

Yvo

thanks to the booth of you
i have finnished you were right lemoned got it this time . only second time i finnished a grid . thanks again

2:29 pm

hurshy

congrats, Yvo!!!

2:29 pm

hurshy

can i ask you something, lemon? what does it mean when you do this ^^?

2:32 pm

LEMONed

Omidete, Yvo-san!

Of course, Hurshy-sensei...it is just another smile, like :) they are meant to be like a person's eyes when they are smiling ^_^

2:33 pm

Miyavi_fan

Hmm...Oni-san...greeting for an old friend? :)

2:33 pm

hurshy

oh, it looks more like it when you do it like that ^_^
:)
but, cool. :)

2:34 pm

LEMONed

not as long as you keep calling me Oni-san!

Warai Hurshy-sensei...it is just my laziness ^^
...there I go again...

2:34 pm

Yvo

Thank you LEMONed and hurshy,its been a good day .

2:35 pm

hurshy

'twas a good babble day for me, also, Yvo, as i got all the words but one with NO help, no list, no nothing. my last one i did have to sneak a peek at the log for a clue.

2:36 pm

Miyavi_fan

*tsk* listen, Ayasumi-SAMA (oooh yes, she's hacked off now ^^) you shouldn't have translated the word if you didn't want to be called it, lol!

2:36 pm

LEMONed

you are welcome, Yvo-san, gomen about the mix up! ^^

Hurshy-sensei, congratulations! :)

2:37 pm

hurshy

ok, let me see if i understand a bit of what is going on here. miyavi just gave lemon a "sama", but that is supposed to be used on younger people - she is being playfully insulting, yes?

2:38 pm

hurshy

but what is Oni-san?

2:38 pm

Yvo

Hurshy you are a good Babbler ,i try but i need the stats ,someday ill get better but for now its fun with a giant size headache at the end lol

2:38 pm

Miyavi_fan

ish XD I gave him the 'sama', which is a very, Very Very, respectful term :)
Now if I wanted to be THAT insulting I'd call him Ayasumi-chan XD *pinches Takumi's cheek* there you are, Hime...

2:39 pm

hurshy

hmm... should i leave you two alone?

2:39 pm

LEMONed

Aa...'oni-san', as she insists on calling me today, is the word for 'devil'!

2:40 pm

hurshy

ok and what about ayasumi and hime?

2:41 pm

hurshy

so is -chan for a little kid then?

2:42 pm

LEMONed

Ayasumi is my last name, I'm Takumi Ayasumi :) And HIME *glares* care to explain, Miya...?

2:43 pm

hurshy

it must be fun to have a rhyming name

2:44 pm

Miyavi_fan

*evil grin* 'hime' means 'princess'...XD

2:45 pm

hurshy

you know, lemon, your name is like a bunch of words put together, you could really make puns with it. "has he gone to the store yet? ayasumi has." (i assume he...)

2:45 pm

hurshy

miya, you are too funny

2:46 pm

LEMONed

warai...it means all the kids back in Kyoto called me 'Mimi' ^^ yes, -chan is usually used for children, but can be used for anyone younger than yourself :) If they are roughly your age, they can be called -kun, and if they are older -san or -sama :)

2:46 pm

LEMONed

Warai Hurshy-sensei!!! Too funny!! XD

2:46 pm

Miyavi_fan

LOL, thank you Hurshy! I bet he regrets ever teaching me that word...

2:47 pm

snowyowl

I'm back! Didn't get to say goodbye -sorry -the doorbell rang and there was CATHB & then my daughter arrived - and then my husband got back from visiting his mother in hospital - I have just 2 words to find.

2:47 pm

hurshy

ok, i guess i had gotten -sama and -chan mixed up

2:47 pm

chic

Hiya, I love this! Babbling and Japanese lessons, too!
Domo arigato!

2:47 pm

hurshy

well, let us know if you need help finding them, snowy

2:48 pm

LEMONed

warai Chic-san, nice one!

2:49 pm

snowyowl

Don't worry I will! Best part of the evening so far is dicovering that I can leave the dreaded guiing census until tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HOORAY!!!!!!!! Wish this puzzle was bigger!

2:50 pm

hurshy

darn it, the japanese slips out one side of my head as fast as it goes in. what is "hiya" again?

2:51 pm

LEMONed

Warai...now you know how I feel with English! We do not really have a definite term for hi, but right now you would say komban wa, good evening :)

2:51 pm

hurshy

but it's not evening yet here :)
what's good afternoon?

2:52 pm

LEMONed

oops! I forget about time difference...there is no good afternoon, either, we would say konnichiwa, good day ^^

2:53 pm

hurshy

well of course i would still have to say komban wa to you, i guess, since it is evening there. :)

2:54 pm

Miyavi_fan

warai...and I would say konnichiwa to you! I guess I am colourblind when it comes to the flags...:)

2:55 pm

LEMONed

*rolls eyes* Miya, you are chanelling your inner 'me' again...

2:55 pm

Miyavi_fan

Sorry...can't help it XD

2:55 pm

LEMONed

...warai, am I that predictable? XD

2:56 pm

hurshy

so, lemon, how goes babbling for you, anyway? did you finish the puzzle?

2:56 pm

LEMONed

hehe...er, not quiiiite...^^; there seem to be a lot of obscure words in there today!

2:57 pm

Miyavi_fan

aaaw...jodan desu, you know that :)

2:58 pm

LEMONed

warai, yada...anata wo totemo toku kara kita no ka?

2:59 pm

3:03 pm

hurshy

ok, so i get the ^^, why do you follow it with ;

3:03 pm

hurshy

lemon, care to redeem yourself?

3:03 pm

snowyowl

A 3 yr old singing It's a Hard Knock Life is hilarious! Especially as she is very cute & therefore has the least 'hard knock life of anyone I've ever met!

3:04 pm

LEMONed

Aa...not sure if I know the words to explain! I think you say, 'sheepish', ^^; is like being sheepish :)

3:05 pm

snowyowl

sc5/14 - lose the a on as6/24

3:05 pm

hurshy

oh, snowy, lemon was all ready to give a better clue for that than he did last time. :)

3:06 pm

LEMONed

warai, I was almost there...! My arm is still in the sling, so I am still typing slowly :/

3:06 pm

hurshy

lemon, do you know how a shepherd would hold a sheep (well, a lamb, anyway) by the legs and put it around his neck? well, one of my cats lets me do that to him, so i call him "sheepish" - it is a pun, do you like it?

3:06 pm

snowyowl

sorry did I spoil something? I must have missed that clue.

3:07 pm

hurshy

wait, i have not talked to you in a while, but how did your arm get into a sling?!?!

3:07 pm

LEMONed

warai...I will never be able to say sheepish again now without thinking of that! XD

3:07 pm

hurshy

it was before you came in, snowy. Yvo had a hard time getting lemon's clue, and i thought he might want to try to give another one

3:08 pm

LEMONed

er...well, were you there when a boy from my school came into the chat log and insulted me? :/

3:09 pm

Miyavi_fan

It's sick, Hurshy, it makes me angry just thinking about it

3:09 pm

kissmyglass04

thnx snowy

3:11 pm

hurshy

no, i wasn't there, i didn't know about that.

3:11 pm

hurshy

why did he insult you?

3:11 pm

kissmyglass04

to4/4 last one promise :)

3:11 pm

faeriekae

Lemon-did that little smarta** hurt you?

3:12 pm

hurshy

all vowels, kiss

3:13 pm

Miyavi_fan

it was awful, Hurshy! He didn't even have a REASON for insulting him. His 'motive' was that Takumi isn't English, so this loser came on and called him a retard, amongst loads of RACIST names, and then said that he and his friends would 'get' Takumi at school the next day

3:14 pm

hurshy

wow, and then they really did it? what kind of a school do you go to, lemon? is it big or small? do you pay to go there or is it run by the government?

3:14 pm

LEMONed

Faerieka-san, it is fine :) It was not that bad, but it made me glad I know kendo :/

3:14 pm

faeriekae

Miyava-so is that what happened to Lemon's arm?

3:14 pm

hurshy

and how did he know to come insult him on babble, of all places?

3:15 pm

Miyavi_fan

*steaming* yup...that little @£&*^" and his stupid mates actually BROKE HIS ARM.

3:16 pm

faeriekae

Lemon-NO-I simply can't believe there are such simple minded people allowed to walk amongst us..I'm so sorry.
(((((x)))))

3:16 pm

hurshy

have the culprits been punished?

3:16 pm

snowyowl

It makes me ashamed that in this day and age people think it's ok to abuse others physically or verbally. Haven't we learned anything at all?

3:16 pm

LEMONed

he is in my English class...he must have heard me talking to my English teacher about it before the lesson began :/

3:17 pm

faeriekae

Miyavi-the revenge of a woman is really nasty....isn't it
(*_*) see the glare in my eyes...

3:18 pm

snowyowl

perhaps he should take a 'learning to be a human being class'. God to think these children have parents -Where are they!

3:18 pm

LEMONed

do not worry, Faeriekae-san! It is okay :)

Hurshy-sensei, they have been suspended now, and I think the boy who came online is facing exclusion! They do not know he came to babble, but he was the one holding the bat :)

3:18 pm

faeriekae

I do hope these young men are being punished as we speak.

3:18 pm

janus

please can i have a clue for ga (4)Thanks

3:19 pm

LEMONed

warai Faeriekae-san...scary! XD

Wow...I am so flattered that you are all so indignant on my behalf! Thank you :)

3:20 pm

faeriekae

DID YOU SAY "HOLDING THE BAT"
Oh thank God I don't have children I would have taken this boy out myself.

3:20 pm

hurshy

you mean expulsion, not exclusion, i think, lemon. i cannot believe this! i am so sorry for you.

3:20 pm

Miyavi_fan

you heard right, Faerie!

3:20 pm

hurshy

janus - there are two, they are similar, and scottish in appearance.

3:20 pm

faeriekae

"ga" like the detergent only a diffent vowel in the middle

3:21 pm

Julie

LEMONed ... that is just awful, awful. I am very sorry that happened. You are brave, and a good one handed typist to boot.

-- Back to working (I mean lurking)

3:21 pm

LEMONed

oops! arigato, Hurshy-sensei :)

er, hai, yes, a bat...one thing I can say for him, he has a good swing :)

3:22 pm

faeriekae

Miyavi-I know there are people like that in every school but this is so stupid. I can hardly believe it.

5:17 pm

Haz1558

And now that you know it, will it ever appear in babble again? It certainly isn't a word for normal conversation!

5:17 pm

tbear

hushy I believe in anti-ds in the short term and they can really kick strt you again. Try and walk someone everyday and don't be unkind to yourself....hard not to be when you're low and feel pooey!! Great big bear hug for you and I'll be thinking of you,sweetheart..

Nite Haz!!!

5:19 pm

mab

hurshy, tbear, I think I am the poster woman for depression. I have vast family history and have had major depression most of my life. It's only as an adult that it's been treated. As depression tends to worsen with time, I would not be here without meds.

5:20 pm

mab

Night Haz.

5:40 pm

Schroeder

Plural of your ac6...

5:43 pm

Interesting definition for that word; spiritual torpor. I did not know it. Finally a word, other than ywis, of course, that I will actually use.

5:43 pm

Angelsong

still need the ac6 as well.

5:43 pm

renfield

angel - google what mab sa**

5:44 pm

ac6= high card plus ending the same as multi-volume book of knowledge.

5:46 pm

RobRob

Schro...was that clean??? ... "Plural of your ac6"

5:46 pm

Angelsong

got it! thanks. Mab, I also experience depression with strong family history. It can be difficult to manage, but meds do help.

5:48 pm

mab

I'm sorry to hear it, Angel. I am having a difficult time of it now, despite medication. It's a pretty nasty illness.

5:48 pm

Schroeder

Just depends on how you read it RobRob.....

5:50 pm

RobRob

6:03 pm

Babbler

hi Mab!! :D (midnight here)

6:04 pm

mab

Well done Babbler! Are you nearly back to form regarding your general health?

6:06 pm

Babbler

thx guys :D

funny you should say that... it was a 'yes', but with the nasty arctic weather this week, I'm all tense and my shoulders are tight and killing me again. :'(

6:07 pm

renfield

babbler you need a holiday to the islands!!!!

6:08 pm

Babbler

I do, Ren!! :'D

6:09 pm

mab

That is not helpful. T'is very chilly here too and one does tense up. I'm not moving from my space heater until it is really Spring.

Do take care, Babbler.

6:10 pm

mab

Oooo, good idea, ren. so much better than a space heater.

6:11 pm

Babbler

Thanks, Mab. : ) *sigh* I can't wait for warmer weather and spring... : /

6:14 pm

hurshy

babbler - you mean you don't live in p.g. wodehouse's britain, where the sun is always pleasantly shining and it's a lovely day for a fete?

6:15 pm

Babbler

hi hurshy!! lol!! unfortunately, not..... funnily enough.... ;D

6:15 pm

mab

I do love wodehouse, hurshy. If only real life were silly and free of real worries.

6:16 pm

pthomp

sorry to say.... was just out in shorts and barefoot... hi 70's here in AZ

6:17 pm

Babbler

Hi Everyone -- just checking todays grid while entertaining Kristianna before dinner arrives :)

(*Hugs for everyone else*)

6:18 pm

pthomp

no, we're screaming for some rain... yes it's a desert but we've had no moisture for 4 months.

6:18 pm

renfield

however - i would trade w/ you babbler for a few weeks...8)

6:18 pm

Babbler

6:18 pm

Schroeder

Stepped away for a bit, snowy here also...very low snow for this area too...

6:18 pm

6:19 pm

pthomp

6:19 pm

Babbler

((((( GW !!! )))) great to see you!! how are things with you and yours? :D

6:19 pm

GreyWoulf

Hi ren :)

When was he here?

6:19 pm

hurshy

yeah, wodehouse is my kind of writer

6:19 pm

mab

I sound like Pollyanna (yech) but I it does make me feel comforted to know that we are not necessarily in the same boat... the same chilly boat.

6:19 pm

Schroeder

GW!!!!! How is that little angel of yours?

6:19 pm

pthomp

sw4 like to trade but change the vowel

6:20 pm

renfield

6:20 pm

GreyWoulf

6:21 pm

Babbler

that's a relief, GW. Glad to hear all is well : )
it was my little niece's first birthday today. How time flies..... : )

6:22 pm

GreyWoulf

Schro -- he caught RSV from his sister, but is all better now :) Otherwise he is a typical newborn which means that Mommy and Daddy are exhausted! ;D

6:23 pm

mab

Hi GW. Missed smeltz, I wonder if he's pregnant.

Grid is very easy today.

6:23 pm

GreyWoulf

Ren -- do I have to go look or will you tell me?

6:24 pm

renfield

wolfie - ms smeltz is expecting a baby smeltz

6:24 pm

GreyWoulf

Hi mab -- there does seem to be a lot of it going around the log lately (pregnancy, that is ;D)

Did he say when he will be back?

6:24 pm

mab

First (technically second) birthday! Big party?

6:24 pm

GreyWoulf

Excellent!!! -- how excited is he?

6:24 pm

renfield

i told him i thought you were here about 9 or 10 cst

6:25 pm

Schroeder

I'm so glad to hear he is doing better now..
Wish I could stay and chat more but I must make the snowy drive home.....Bye all

6:25 pm

renfield

6:25 pm

GreyWoulf

Safe journeys, Schro

((**Hug**))

6:25 pm

mab

Be careful Schroeder. Bye.

6:26 pm

renfield

wolfie - he opened the 'cuzzi for us!!!

6:27 pm

GreyWoulf

Ren -- I will try to be here for him :)

6:28 pm

Babbler

Mab - thanks, almost all the family got together. My sister was snowed in so she couldn't make it. :'( Otherwise it was great! Lots of presents, which cheered her up no end as she is teething and quite poorly this week. Awwww. : )

6:29 pm

Babbler

take care, Schroeder, be safe : )

6:29 pm

mab

Aww.... But yay for presents!

6:29 pm

Angelsong

hey, Babbler...missed you!

6:30 pm

Babbler

hey Angelsong! awwwww, thanks : )

6:31 pm

Babbler

Mab, it's a gorgeous sight to see a baby kiss and cuddle their teddys and soft toys, lol!! : )

6:31 pm

Angelsong

babbler...take a look at our new Babble resource page. Link is on BA/General/announcing a new Babble resource.

6:33 pm

GreyWoulf

So do you think this weekend we will have a large grid?

The past few have been very small and not that tricky either :)

6:33 pm

Babbler

.... I couldn't find it..... where do I look?

6:34 pm

renfield

wolfie - if we have a lot of time to babble- it will be small right?

6:35 pm

GreyWoulf

Well, last weekend was the the 300 + wasn't it?

6:35 pm

renfield

i'm watching tex ritter sing 'don't forsake me my darlin' from high noon...wow

6:36 pm

renfield

yes wolfie - it was! on a sunday!!!

6:39 pm

Babbler

.... found it, Angelsong! It looks fantastic!! Good going : )

6:40 pm

renfield

see ya'll later - going to the country club w/ the folks....

6:41 pm

GreyWoulf

So long for now, ren (*Hug*)

6:41 pm

Angelsong

I made that page about three days after i found Babble. Handy to have everything together.

6:42 pm

mab

Oh, lovely, Babbler. Definitely a cure for ac6!

I have been receiving the Saatchi gallery newsletter and think it is quite good. Saatchi himself is a very rich anti-intellectual, I think, but whoever is doing the newsletter is very clever.

6:43 pm

GreyWoulf

This grid is making up for the simplicity of the past couple, isn't it?

6:43 pm

mab

Bye Ren, enjoy. I'm off to attempt productivity.

6:43 pm

Babbler

I didn't know about the Saatchi newsletter, Mab. I'll have to remember to look into that when I get back. (remind me, please!) ;D

6:44 pm

Babbler

Bye Ren, Mab.

I have to go now too. Bit cold in this room. Think I'll go downstairs and make some tea. : )

Goodnight all : )

6:45 pm

GreyWoulf

Night, Babbler (*HUG*)

Talk to you soon :)

6:47 pm

Babbler

(( GW )) goodnight, GW, hugs to your family too : )

6:48 pm

GreyWoulf

Will pass them on Babbler -- I'll try to send some warmth your way :)

6:51 pm

GreyWoulf

it seems to me that there are a great many ALMOST words in this grid -- more than enough to give me a headache :)

6:53 pm

GreyWoulf

Is anyone still here?

6:54 pm

Angelsong

GW I am here

6:55 pm

GreyWoulf

Yay!! I'm not alone! ;D

6:55 pm

GreyWoulf

Have you finished yet?

6:55 pm

Angelsong

I had my annual physical this morning. so I'm getting a late start today, but I'm almost done.

6:57 pm

GreyWoulf

I haven't had a physical in years, though I know I should -- good for you!!

I have only found 25 so far, but then I don't actually use the Babble resources to solve the grid, unless I am truly under the wire -- I prefer to rely on the log :0

6:58 pm

hurshy

GW, GW, you would be so proud of me today, i found all but 1 word with no list AND no help of any other kind, not even the log. i only looked at the log to get a clue for my last one!

6:59 pm

hurshy

oh dear, look at the time

6:59 pm

hurshy

bye all

7:01 pm

GreyWoulf

(*hurshy*) --bye -- and congrats!

7:03 pm

GreyWoulf

Well, Angel -- Sorry but I have to go for a bit -- the pizza for dinner just arrived and Kristianna is bouncing with excitement --- should be back in about 30-45 :)

((**Hug*))

7:11 pm

harpjane

OK. I need 21 words before the movie starts in 50 minutes. I'll probably need clues!

GreyWoulf

HI all -- just checking in -- it is time to read bedtime stories -- will be back in about another 45

evan -- ren went out to the country club with the folks -- I don't know when she will be back :)

8:15 pm

GreyWoulf

Toodles for now -- Kristianna has an armful of books and is saying "Can you come with me?... and read 5 of these books?"

;D

8:20 pm

pinecone05

I'm down to my last two words...can someone help me with ac 6 and ac 7? Thanks.

8:26 pm

hootowl

Add 3rd and first vowel to the 4/6
then plural

8:55 pm

pinecone05

Thank you HootOwl ! I'm finished. Have fun everyone.

8:56 pm

hootowl

Any time

9:37 pm

hootowl

woulf - where are you? ! I'm lonely!!!

9:40 pm

JoJoFunLvg

Hoot: Woulfie went to read to Kristianna, he said he would return in 45 min or so.

9:41 pm

kristinc

Hi Hoot! I'm not GW but good evening to you. Hope you had a good week.
Hi JoJo! Howya doin'?
I just arrived and hope this shouldn't take too long! :)

9:41 pm

hootowl

Yeah I know Jojo - just like I said - lonely. Where you been? Haven't seen you on here in a while.

9:42 pm

hootowl

Hi Kris - guess I'm not lonely any more!:D

9:42 pm

JoJoFunLvg

Oh, I have been here but no one that I normally chat with were on, so just concentrated on the grid. What have you been up to?

9:43 pm

kristinc

Hoot-Good, glad to be of service. Are you done?

9:43 pm

GreyWoulf

Good thing, hoot -- cos I am late getting back and will have to go soon

9:43 pm

hootowl

Kris you're just starting? Check the clue I left just below. Seems to be the ones every one wants.

9:44 pm

JoJoFunLvg

Kristinc: I thought it wouldn't take too long either, but I am kind of stuck right now. Need a de5/18 and de5/16. With 57 words you would think I would be able to finish this.

9:44 pm

kristinc

Oh, not a lot. Working, a little playing...we have had family up from Oregon for the last 2 weeks or so and that has been nice but now I'm enjoying the quiet life.

9:44 pm

GreyWoulf

BTW -- thanks for the ac6/7 combo ;)

9:45 pm

hootowl

Mostly finishing early and then cooking. SOOOooooo much fun to cook for someone who appreciates it!!!

9:45 pm

kristinc

I just started w/ the de's...I'll hollar when I find them.

9:45 pm

hootowl

You are all welcome! :D

9:47 pm

hootowl

les see....
5/18 - rot
5/16 - to remove fuel from a car

9:48 pm

kristinc

Good for you Hoot!

9:48 pm

kristinc

(about the cooking)

9:49 pm

GreyWoulf

ge5?

9:49 pm

hootowl

HAH! I gained back 10 lbs of the 80 I lost and he gained 15! You are in Washington?

9:51 pm

kristinc

You need to come cook for me. I'm pregnant and can't gain weight for the life of me-Dr has me on Ensure--not a big fan after weeks and weeks.

9:51 pm

kristinc

Hi GW--I haven't been on in a while. I hope Seb is back on the mend and you've all recovered!

9:51 pm

hootowl

ge 5 - remember that fancy rock with the crystal in the middle? add 3rd vowel inmiddle and drop the last letter

9:52 pm

GreyWoulf

thanks

9:52 pm

kristinc

Hoot, yes Seattle WA. Moved here from Oregon about a year and a half ago for my husband's job.

9:53 pm

JoJoFunLvg

Kristinc: Are you the minister's wife up north of Seattle?

9:53 pm

hootowl

I got to Oregon for the first time last summer. BF had to go to Idaho to help close his moms house and then we continued to Cos Bay to meet some friends. Finally saw the Pacific!

9:55 pm

kristinc

JoJo, thanks me.
Hoot-yeah, the weather on the coast is not always great but is it still a unique place that I really enjoy. Coos Bay is a small little place but fun. My dad grew up in the area and said lots has changed over the years!

9:55 pm

hootowl

I'm not sure the doctor would approve of Italian cooking! Lots of pasta and olive oil. How do you feel about garlic? I could put some recipes in Bab Anon

9:56 pm

GreyWoulf

Yayy!!!!
I am done --- this one was trickier than normal for me -- must be the sleep dep :)

9:56 pm

hootowl

No woulf - just the usual weird and whacky!

9:57 pm

JoJoFunLvg

Kristinc: How did your superbowl sunday go at your church? Besides, of course, we lost.

9:57 pm

kristinc

hoot-we're big garlic fans, I'd love some new ideas. :)

9:58 pm

hootowl

That was the biggest surprise - we were there for a week driving up to Portland after the visit and never saw the sun til we went inland again! Wanted to go in the ocean and settled for a bottle full to take home. I have finally been coast to coast!

9:58 pm

kristinc

JoJo, it was very fun. Had about 30 and some new faces to boot so we had a great time regardless of the game's outcome. Big screen, good food. I'd do it again (next year hopefully!)

9:59 pm

GreyWoulf

Well - as promised I need to go -- have an Rx to pick up for Kirsten and some chores to do that can't be done when Kristianna is awake :)

9:59 pm

JoJoFunLvg

Kristinc: So, it sounds like your husband took your suggestion and rented a big screen. Right?

9:59 pm

bunnyvicious

Good thing it was a small board today, I almost forgot to babble!! Record time. Thought I'd say hi and bye real quick!

10:00 pm

hootowl

Well thanx for showing up. And we're aiming for Sept. Clint wants to come too.

10:02 pm

kristinc

JoJo-the church owns a couple In-Focus projectors so we moved one into a bigger room and projected it on a big screen by just hooking it up to a VCR-had a few technical difficulties w/ getting reception in a 3 story brick building but we figured it out.

10:02 pm

GreyWoulf

Sounds like a plan, hoot -- That will make a great birthday gift for Kirsten :)

I may be back later, but probably not -- wiil be back tomorrow for sure

(**Hugs to all**)

10:02 pm

kristinc

Goodnight GW!

10:03 pm

hootowl

Good - g'night

10:04 pm

kristinc

JoJo, no matter it has been a month--did you go to a superbowl party? Other than the outcome, enjoy it?

10:06 pm

JoJoFunLvg

Kristinc: No superbowl party. Our son and his wife invisted us out to their place, but they were having all their friends over and we just told them that they didn't need any old folgies there. But, yes, we were both pretty dismayed by the outcome, but we enjoyed it.

10:08 pm

kristinc

Glad you enjoyed it JoJo...fogies my foot! :)

10:12 pm

hootowl

The day I start thinking of myself as a 'fogey' is the day you bury me! Fooey!

10:13 pm

kristinc

Hey the BF is way younger than me. A gift for sure! I'm keeping him!

10:15 pm

hootowl

And he keeps me young!!!

10:15 pm

kristinc

hoot, from what you tell me, you should keep him anyway...sounds like a great catch (as do you as well!)

10:17 pm

kristinc

And done! That did seem a little tougher than I expected. I'm going to look some other things up online but will hang out to chat and give clues if needed.

hootowl

hey - he'll VOLUNTEER a foot rub if I say they hurt! He brings the paper home for me every morning. We have the same interests and he has never said one of my ideas was off the wall. very refreshing after the ex who thought I was good for not much!

10:18 pm

hootowl

Good going! I'll be here so enjoy your surfing.

Hoot, does he work at night or is he just really patient with your evening babble sessions like my hubby is?

10:22 pm

hootowl

His schedual changes. Right now he's working 5am to 3-4pm. And 4 days on and 4 off. But he is usually very patient about my babbling. The 400+ made me stop voluntarily. Couldn't stand the time I was putting in when he was home all day! He'll be off mon thru thur next week so I may or may not be around. You'll know why if I'm not.

Ok - I have a whopping 10 words. How many are there??

10:24 pm

kristinc

That's good Hoot. It is a rare occasion that I venture out on a a 350+ unless I know I have the time to put in without other things sliding.

kristinc

57-hollar if you need help

10:24 pm

hootowl

Well it started easy! All downhill from there!

10:26 pm

SashaJo

57??? Come on!! I feel like I'm back in a Nordic country where they put 16 vowerls together, a consonant and pronounce it in a way I'd never dream of! (No offense meant!!!)

10:27 pm

hootowl

I believe there is only one word that is all consonants.

10:27 pm

kristinc

Sasha-yeah, get ready for some strange combinations

10:29 pm

hootowl

There are a lot of monkey words but they mostly start from normal ones - get going!
