12:07 am
JBsAnno

Uh, okay, ch1212!

You're right, it does look like a pig...but it's actually a dancing cat with a tiny tutu (head is flung to the right).

Leftover from Dance day a few weeks ago.

stid.......
the mare (Iris) is doing FANTASTIC. she is walking and complaining about not enough food (must reintroduce slowly) and the filly (Luna) is even better. God is very very good.
The dog (Res, as he was rescued from an Indian reservation) is still recovering. His leg is massive but he shouldn't suffer any tissue loss nor the leg.

Me? Heck, I have finished (with tremendous help) the last two puzzles! I am very good.

co 4/6 -- if you were going to put on a party with a friend you would be co**sts ... drop the last 3 letters. The co 4/5 that comes after (with another word inbetween) is singular loose change

6:42 am

6:42 am
KatieMcG

Jera - I think that's a waking offence - I'm sure he won't mind ;)
6:42 am
capone

i dont mind paying for my music (esp since i know what its like to create something and not get paid for it...lol), but i am updating my limewire now b/c itunes STILL doesn't carry "headless cross" from black sabbath!
6:43 am
faeriekae

Jera - Wouldn't he just die just you went and woke him up to fix the computer so you can Babble without eye strain. *teehee* See I would do that.
6:44 am
Jera

You don't know my husband the night owl. I have another gripe... he forgot a bag of trash in here. I figure if I can collect it, he should take them out!
6:44 am

Oh yea Jera - he would be up right now if he lived with me or maybe I would just save it and slap him with it all as soon as his feet hit the floor. LOL
6:45 am
mrpresident

You guys are so cool!! Lickety is chuffed!!
6:46 am
Jera

Oooh, even better... the kids are getting up. I usually try to keep them quiet until a decent hour, but I'm considering siccing them on him.

Yes, I'm passive-aggressive.
6:46 am
faeriekae

Mr P - I couldn't do the grid with the list. Lickety rocks.
6:47 am
Jera

Gwyd's on about his crayons... left them in the car last night & I ain't gong out in the rain tp fetch them for his majesty...
6:47 am
faeriekae

Jera - get the kids all riled up and loud and that will get him up.
6:47 am
Jera

Okay, is chuffed good or bad?
6:48 am
Jera

The Sprite is still sleeping like one dead.
6:48 am
KatieMcG

Chuffed is good, but can be used sarcastically
6:48 am
mrpresident

Jera... chuffed is pumped!! happy as a tent in a camp site!!
6:48 am
faeriekae

Not sure Jera
6:49 am
Aloyisius

I be done. Lickety - thank you for the "non-box" option on your wonderful site; sometimes when we travel I have to print out a worksheet, and that REALLY helps. Anyone need a clue before I go greet the sun?
6:49 am
capone

man I gotta teach TSM about good "sex" music (lyrics wise), shes always telling me about some stupid nickelback song...think i'll mke her a cd of some old whitesnake (slip of the tongue era).....kids these days, NICKELBACK?
6:49 am
Jera

So if someone is chuffed & you gave them the mickey, that would be mean, right?
6:49 am
faeriekae

Capone I saw them in 76, 78, 82, 85, 88, 01
6:50 am
Jera

Whitesnake ROCKS!
6:50 am
capone

Sab or Snake Faerie?
6:51 am
KatieMcG

Not sure what context mickey is being used. Over here to take the mickey means to poke fun as someone
6:51 am
faeriekae

Poison rocks along with AC/DC.
6:52 am
capone

Poison?




ROFL
6:52 am
Jera

OKay, I've been reading Harry Potter again. Somebody had done something good but wasn't telling anyone, thinking they'd be teased. So that makes sense.
6:53 am
mrpresident

AC/DC rocks all over Poison!
6:53 am
faeriekae

Capone I like Sabbath and White Snake and most of the old rockers.
6:53 am
faeriekae

Mr P - your right AC/DC is fantastic.
6:53 am
KatieMcG

Jera what book and page I will read it and double check for you
6:54 am
capone

Sorry Faerie, I admit I do have the first 3 Poison cd's but only cause the girls loved them back in the day!

Jovi, Skid Row, KISS....now those are my staples
6:54 am
Jera

I don't remember exactly, i think it was about Ron being a prefect??
6:54 am
faeriekae

Love Angus Young he has more energy than anyone else on the face of this earth.....
6:55 am
KatieMcG

I saw jovi about 13 years ago, they were awful, I am assuming it was at the hight of their excesses but it has put me off them for life
6:55 am
faeriekae

Capone - see - that's right the girls like them. Kiss is alright but I'm not that crazy about them.
6:55 am
capone

yea, AC/DC is awesome, never changed the straight forward rock your balls off style of r&r
6:56 am
faeriekae

oh yeah. Shook me all night long......
6:57 am
Jera

Okay, I am doing the view/text size/largest thing with no results... any suggestions??
6:57 am
faeriekae

ummmm good luck!!
6:59 am
capone

yea, 13 years ago, during the "Bed of Roses" era was a real down turn for them (jovi). when they reformed in the late 90's and released "these days", the music took a more mature turn. good or bad i could relate to a lot of what was on the recent albums, thats why they've always been one of my fave hard rock bands.
7:00 am

7:11 am
Jera

So I figured it out right, Katie? Yea! It's so cool, how it's the same language, but such different terms...
7:11 am
KatieMcG

I'd never thought about it before but you are so right.

okay - my most unfavorite word in this puzzle is definitely the yl word (4/7) maybe the young chemical engineer-to-be can appreciate the definition:

A form of matter hypothesized by proponents of the big bang theory to have existed before the formation of the chemical elements.

8:10 am
Jera

We've had a few big ones recently, as well, I remember cuz I tried to do one & ran out of time with 20 to go... the other I didn't start as I was very busy that day...
8:10 am
axe

are you guys really from Berlin?
8:10 am
Sherylr1961

yes that's me but I must be slipping because I haven't heard a thing about a new book from him, how was it
8:10 am
MikeyInBerlin

excuse me, Kate? where on earth is *that* coming from, all of a sudden??? :-/ Jera happens to be a friend of mine, and isn't acting any differently than most of my friends do, for heaven's sake.....now, why would i hate you, for crying out loud? i'm not a hateful person, and i don't hate anyone.....that's an awfully strange thing to say? :-/ i don't even know you, having only just met you on here now! :-/ *shrugs*
8:10 am
bex777

cliffopia were u asking for a clue for the yl orjust saying it was wierd?
8:10 am

Well bye guys I have to get off. My sister Kara wants to get on.
8:11 am
MikeyInBerlin

Kate, it's really of no concern to me what your sister might look like.....i'm very happily attached, and gay, as it happens! :-)
8:11 am
scribble

bye, Kate!
8:11 am
Jera

(apropo of nothing)

You know what I'm gonna suggest to Dr. God for this site? An ignore function in the chat. You know where you can choose to not read the chat of annoying people? That would be nice.
8:12 am
bex777

bye kate
lol mikey! :)
8:12 am
MikeyInBerlin

what 'guys', axe? yes, that's where i'm from.....why question that; is it so strange? we all have to be somewhere in the word, don't we? :-P
8:12 am
cliffopa

bex - i've got the yl word.

sheryl, the book was pretty good. a fairly quick read. plenty of gore (which i don't really get into) but it was an interesting concept. subject of the book is cell phones and a disaster that happens one day to everyone making or receiving a call on a cell phone.
8:12 am
FredAndKate

Hi Mikey its Kara my sister Kate told me that you were mean! But from your piture you look sexy!
8:13 am

8:13 am
MikeyInBerlin

to borrow from Yiddish vernacular, Bex.....at this point i feel like rolling my eyes skyward, smacking my head, and exclaiming 'oy vey iz mir'.....you know? :-P
8:13 am
Jera

Oh I wouldn't want to hide the whole chat. Just might come in handy sometimes to ignore a troll.

8:14 am

'mean', Kara? that's a new one :-/ read the chat log here for yourself.....nothing mean in anything i said, but i suppose a 10 year old mind could read anything into it :-/ *sigh*
8:15 am
bex777

mikey's not mean!
8:15 am
Jera

My daughter is 10... I know how ten year olds act.
8:15 am
cliffopa

jera - you have a great idea there. it gets a bit uncomfortable at times and i often hide the log when women/girls start hitting on Mikey. it's embarassing.
8:15 am
MikeyInBerlin

ah, yes Jera; 'troll'.....i'm beginning to think that's what we have in here now, possibly.....ah well; nose into the grid, which is what i came here for anyhow! :-P

8:17 am
MikeyInBerlin

8:31 am
MikeyInBerlin

lianakate? you play Literati???
8:31 am
hurshy

scribble - i think shorty was just employing the common practice of saying "them" when the gender is unknown, not implying that multiple folks need a whipping :)
8:31 am
scribble

jera--how do you find the tenor parts in a songbook?
8:31 am
Jera

.. or you can paste into excel that works too.

Hi Haz, Hows yr Saturday going?
11:55 am
Haz1558

And if you want a Pollyanna perspective on things, let's be glad that you hadn't been entering the words for a 300+ grid!
11:55 am
Stunny

gr8! I'll try them both. Have to leave for awhile, but will def. be back tonight. have a good day all.
11:56 am
stidmama

Stunny! you here again? or still?

Good morning/afternoon/evening all!
11:56 am
Haz1558

Hello FMitch - I'm fine. Did Tesco's in the morning, went downtown with husband to choose a picture for our wedding anniversary and this evening am heading out to a Table Quiz.

11:56 am
Stunny

Hi Stid, lol, no just on for awhile this morning. be back later. Yes, I'm hooked! :-)
11:57 am
stidmama

welcome to the true madness, then!

I have 21 left to find... going to be pretty focused for a while, folks! *shifts to lurk persona*
11:58 am
FMitch

that sounds like a good day all round Haz, do you have the lovely sunshire too it's been beautiful here?
11:59 am
stidmatt

'Sup y'all?
11:59 am
Haz1558

It was lovely in the morning, but it has been raining this afternoon. Nothing new there!
12:00 pm
stidmama

good morning, son! 61 words today, but I want you to spend lots of time outside in the sunshine, as well... give yourself an hour, then take a break.
12:01 pm
Haz1558

I'm interested to see how the Table Quiz goes. I had to set the History and the Quotation rounds and am therefore banned from taking part in those. I've pitched them pretty low for the most part but we shall see.
12:01 pm
r13dc

any clues for ha4?
12:01 pm
Haz1558

ha4/6 repeats itself. It's an old fashioned name for a low fence.
12:02 pm
FMitch

oh that's a shame it's still ovely here but I am in for the rest of the day.

r13dc - have a laugh!
12:02 pm
r13dc

12:06 pm

Okay - time to get the family fed and watered once more. Hope the hunt for the words goes well and I'll see you tomorrow!
12:06 pm
Judi

Hello, fellow earthlings! Happy Earth Day. It's like totally globular, fer sher!
12:10 pm
r13dc

na4/no4 giving me fits ...
12:13 pm
Judi

r13dc: No4 - middle of the day time wise.
12:13 pm
w00fdawg

what is getting on your tits, r13dc? :O
12:13 pm
r13dc

Judi, I got that one, and Oct31 too
12:14 pm
r13dc

lolol w00fie
12:14 pm
Vicuna

na4/4 - inner sanctuaries of Greek temples, n + a whole slew of vowels
12:16 pm
TheFiz

r13 - no/4 - another word for christmas.
12:17 pm
r13dc

thanks thefiz, but i already said i got Oct31 :P
12:17 pm
stidmatt

I'm starting to really dislike the dictionary this is based on. It should be based on Webster or something like that.
12:17 pm
r13dc

thanks vic - that was most helpful (though still quite a challenge for me, which is good)
12:18 pm
TheFiz

sorry - try a prefix for 9. As in, not an octagon, a no**gon.
12:18 pm
r13dc

Webster? Not sure if I trust him. Rumor has it latest dictionary includes irregardless
12:19 pm
Uneaixoise

aarrgghhh! I once worked with an EDITOR who used irregardless--set my teeth on edge!!
12:19 pm
stidmatt

Well, it is only regardless with another prefix.
12:19 pm
Vicuna

No such thing as "a" Webster's dictionary. All different publishers can stick Webster in their name.
12:19 pm
r13dc

many thanks fiz
12:20 pm
TheFiz

well, irregardless, it should be based on a standard text.

Sorry, I couldn't resist.
12:20 pm
Uneaixoise

aaarrrggghhh!!!
12:21 pm
stidmama

how are you doing, son? technically, "irregardless" is a double negative -- our family does not use it... :-)

I have two words left, *back to lurk*
12:21 pm
TheFiz

I just got a new shirt: bad grammar makes me [sic] - from a friend who has me edit all her writing. Une, sounds like you need one.
12:21 pm
Vicuna

Yes, TheFiz, we all have our complains about this blasted dictionary and its inconsistencies. We hate it... Yet here we are!
12:22 pm
Uneaixoise

how FABULOUS!!! must go looking for one!
12:22 pm
stidmatt

two negatives equal one positive.
(-3*-4=12 ya know.)
12:22 pm
stidmama

dun dun dun

DONE!

will stay about ten minutes to help with cluse, then the sun calls (and the german shepherd dog)
12:24 pm
Vicuna

Congratulations, stidmama!
12:24 pm
TheFiz

anyone know what ca5/18 means? Here in RI we have a clam that sounds like that, but it's spelled with a "q".
12:24 pm
TheFiz

Nice work, stidmama! Stidmatt, you better get cracking...
12:25 pm
Uneaixoise

kudos, stidmama!
12:27 pm
whiskbisk

how many words today? this one is tough!
12:27 pm
r13dc

i don't see a ca5/18 ...
12:28 pm
stidmama

61 words today -- not too bad, really
12:28 pm
TheFiz

Sorry, sorry, I mean c*O* 5/18. I turned the heat off today and my fingers are a little stiff...
12:28 pm
EvaNadine

its a CO 5/18

afternoon all!
:D
12:29 pm
stidmama

evanadine! hi there! happy earth day!
12:29 pm
Vicuna

co5/18 - looks like a mispelling of the clam that starts with q, or think of two people being pigs together
12:29 pm
Judi

Hi, Evanadine!
12:29 pm
EvaNadine

hiya stidmama!
12:30 pm
EvaNadine

hola judi!
12:30 pm
stidmama

Matthew's friend just arrived, gotta go!

BBL!
12:30 pm
w00fdawg

is it just me or is this a total beetch of a grid>?
12:30 pm
Uneaixoise

Encarta says it's a different spelling of quahog . . . is that the clam?
12:30 pm
Judi

Beastly grid today. Only 17 words so far (after 40 minutes). Plus, the cat wants to play and won't leave me alone. But, those claws in the rib cage can be convincing.
12:31 pm
Vicuna

Yup, that's the clam!
12:31 pm
Uneaixoise

funny word, eh?
12:31 pm
TheFiz

That's it, Une -thanks. Took me 3 years of living here to figure out that Quahog was pronounced like co5/18.
12:32 pm
Uneaixoise

oh, really?? that's how it's pronounced? Wow!
12:32 pm
Vicuna

Yeah, it's derived from Narragansett language.
12:32 pm
cybernan

Good morning/afternoon/evening everyone --- back for my last 14 and hoping I can do it without the list. :)
12:33 pm
TheFiz

Yeah - it's like the state food or something - also the town where the cartoon Family Guy takes place. And if you say it wrong people look at you funny, like you *clearly* don't belong.
12:33 pm
stidmatt

'Sup Cybernan?
12:34 pm
Uneaixoise

too funny :-D
12:34 pm
TheFiz

go nan go!
12:35 pm
EvaNadine

also the name of the town the characters live in, in the cartoon Family Guy
12:35 pm
candy

Please can someone explain 'codes' ie co5/18. I am a newbie and you guys have me baffled!!
12:36 pm
Uneaixoise

it means the words starts with "co" and is 5 letters and totals 18 points :-)
12:36 pm
candy

I also only have 11 words so far and am already hooked.
12:36 pm
tndaisy1960

candy co 5/18 means the word has 5 letters, and is worth 18 points
12:37 pm
candy

Thanks for the help I might get on better now
12:38 pm
Uneaixoise

ah, tndaisy, how much do we miss Mulder and Scully *sigh*
12:38 pm
r13dc

welcome candy, fellow newbie. I started yesterday and am also hooked (and initially befuddled by the code these guys were speaking in)
12:39 pm
candy

It's like a foreign language!!
12:40 pm
tndaisy1960

Mulder and Scully can be found on TNT, certain nights of the week
12:41 pm
TheFiz

Candy, don't worry, you'll pick it up fast. And get totally hooked, too, if you aren't careful. I'm quite often guilty of babble-while-"working".
12:42 pm
JBsAnno

aaah, I'm nostalgic for my glory newbie days in Babble back in December 05 - when I actually FINISHED some grids!!
Welcome, Candy and r13dc.
Hey, r# - have you been up all night? I left you at the flip! (did you get some chocolate?)
12:42 pm
Uneaixoise

yeah, I know . . . it's also on the SciFi channel . . . right now I'm sharing DVD's with a friend who's just recently discovered the X-Files! :)
12:43 pm
candy

Have you any advice on how to get rid of the addiction. I can see my work load piling up already
12:43 pm
blueskies29

12:43 pm
TheFiz

And, with a little clear of the throat, I'm done!
12:43 pm
cybernan

Missing r? -- have ra 5/12 and ra 6/21
12:43 pm
Uneaixoise

candy and r13, you'll also get familiar with recurring bizarro words that only appear in Babble! :-D
12:43 pm
tndaisy1960

lol Candy:) Don't worry...just enjoy it! HIre a monkey to do your work for you!
12:44 pm
Vicuna

candy, don't ask US for help! We're the ones who have not broken free!
12:44 pm
TheFiz

Anyone need some clues? I've got nothing ahead of me but a long day of housework - and I'm happy to procrastinate a little longer.
12:44 pm
Uneaixoise

ra4/4
12:44 pm
Uneaixoise

12:45 pm
r13dc

12:45 pm
cybernan

thanks, une
12:45 pm
TheFiz

Nan - do you have rh4/5?
12:45 pm
Uneaixoise

ra5 is ra6 minus a vowel
12:46 pm
JBsAnno

You and me, too, Fiz. I just hopped over here waiting for my Palm to finish syncing so I can take my shopping list to the store for cleaning supplies. No hubby here this weekend, time to get the place shiny.
12:46 pm
Uneaixoise

yo4 sounds like a cheesy singer with long hair
12:48 pm
EvaNadine

the RA6 i have is an animal...am i missing the other one?
12:48 pm
JBsAnno

Tx, Une, got the word!
Up to 17 words, will save the rest for later.
12:48 pm
EvaNadine

doh, nevermind!
12:48 pm
Uneaixoise

ra5 is the animal minus one of its double vowels
12:48 pm
TheFiz

r13: the first yo4 looks like you were trying to say "yoga" but it got stuck in your throat. the second is an eastern image of a vulva - Matt's not still on, is he?
12:49 pm
EvaNadine

its the only 6 i have right now...heh
12:50 pm
Vicuna

There's an ae6/21.
12:50 pm
r13dc

rumple
5:22 pm
helenkeller

argh - was missing the co 4 - that jingles in your pocket - someone please shoot me
5:22 pm
Angela

I started with a 250 Ninja last year, but quickly started eyeballing the Deluxe. NEver looked back. I love it! I'm definitely a Harley freak for sure. I just read your profile and am impressed that you have been riding so long! That's great!
5:22 pm
helenkeller

5:30 pm
Jera

Not a clue, hurshy... I won't even try to understand the troll mentality...
5:31 pm
hurshy

i mean i was a target, clearly, but you just got tossed in there randomly. anywho...
5:34 pm
Jera

Maybe cuz I hugged Mikey... I'm such a hussy, you know...
5:34 pm
hurshy

oh yes... you trollop you...
5:36 pm
bbnaz

afternoon from the desert. anybody need any clues? howdy hurshy and jera
5:37 pm
Jera

Desert sounds nice... veeeeerrrry soggy here today...
5:37 pm
bbnaz

we could definitely use some soggy!
5:41 pm
MikeyInBerlin

lol, hurshy; i seem to have been the initial target, then when i 'officially ignored' him/her/it/them, they seem to have targeted you.....and of course i see you, Jera; just don't mind my being slow to respond here, 'cos i'm talking and doing other things, too! ;-)
5:41 pm
MikeyInBerlin

like.....getting some funny pics ready to use as avatars in here :-P
5:42 pm
Jera

I try not to do that cuz then I forget to come back for half an hour... especially if I'm shopping (esp eBay, LOL)... so i understand...
5:42 pm
hurshy

oh, mikey - fredandkate had targeted me before - shortly before you began babbling, i think... and then didn't remember doing it when i mentioned it today!
5:42 pm
hurshy

and hi bbnaz
5:43 pm
Jera

I think an ignore function would be agood additon in here...
5:44 pm
Jera

Might not be the same person, hurshy... who knows? I don't think that was a 10 year old...
5:45 pm
hurshy

i dunno, jera - people might use it when they got mad at normal babblers and not just trolls, and then we could have even more drama than we already do!
5:45 pm
hurshy

it didn't seem like a 10 year old the first time either... but made the same claim then
5:50 pm
Jera

I have a 10 year old & I work with 10-ish year olds... they don't talk like that...
5:51 pm
hurshy

yeah, i don't think they do, though i don't know many myself

I use oatmeal & BBQ sauce in my meatloaf... very simple recipe. I don't use measuring cups, I go by feel, LOL
7:21 pm

Rained all morning, thunderstorms all afternoon... some of the Girls got pretty scared...
7:22 pm
Jera

But then they brought out the monitor lizard & the huge honking python in the reptile tent & the storm was forgotten, LOL
7:23 pm
faeriekae

Oatmeal and BBQ sauce did you say? I've never heard of that. I always use bread crumbs and ketchup and brown sugar mix then I might add some green peppers and mushrooms if I'm really into it.
7:23 pm

OMG

i've got to keep all mine in pots as we are not sure how long we will be living here for as my hubby has just left the airforce and we are ment to be out of this house by the end of May, but we haven't got enough money to buy our own house, so we will have to see if there is anything to rent that we can afford
7:30 pm
scatty

Because i an classed as disabled, i need a bungalow, and they are either very expensive to rent, hardly any to buy around here plus the council try and put us in a house which is no good for me as i can't climb stairs
7:32 pm
Jera

I can empathize totally, scatty... we are thinking about moving to Georgia to be near the rellies... no family thi far North
7:32 pm
scatty

so we wil have to wait and see if the airforce take us to court to evict us, then the council might get their fingers out and find us something, FINGERS CROSSED
7:34 pm
scatty

we want to stay here as jon has a job (self employed) but travels all round he country, and i don't want to be left somewhere where i don't know anyone, my family are quite spread out, my sister is in Aussie land at the mo, she won't be back for another four years

We have a lease through the end of 2006, but our landlord is selling the place... nervous times. I need a rambler or ranch to get around in. Of course if it were big enough, I wouldn't mind a 2 story, as long as I didn't have to go upstairs!

Over where you live are the houses quite big, when ever we see houses on the tv they are usually huge, over here they are getting smaller and smaller
7:39 pm
72 Temple Owl

hello everybody! : )
7:40 pm
scatty

in the lounge, you can usually fit a three seater, a single chair and a tv unit, the kitchen is usually a strip, (very thin) or if you are lucky enough room to to put a really small table
7:42 pm
scatty

if you get a three bed house, the third bedroom won't even get an adult bed in, only a cotand a very small cupboard.
the new houses that have been builtbehind my house are really small, i'm starting to get really worried as we will have to get rid of most of out furniture as it won't fit into any of the newer houses
7:43 pm
scatty

Hi Temple
7:43 pm
scatty

sorry having a bit of a moan, i feel beter getting it off my chest though
7:45 pm

Depends on the area as to size. The newer ones tend to be bigger & more open. Where we are was built in 1935 & the bedrooms are tiny. We have a king size bed & made the dining room alcove the master bedroom
7:45 pm
Jera

No problem, scatty, that's why we are here... well, for the puzzle, too, sometimes, LOL

Hullo m'dears all. In honor of Earth Day (and St George's Day, and Shakespeare's birthday) I decided to play seriously with the aim of achieving a complete finish--something that has been within my grasp but for a few words for the past 3 games but which I was too busy joining in the chat to persevere with= Golly that sounds Irish! As a result I have only one wod left to find and no amount of scanning he dictionary seems to help. So, please, anyone out there, can you give me a clue to the final co4? I have the animal, the piece of money, the Latin plural of ice-cream ****, and the word that sounds like a double ***man. but Lickety says there is one other. Please help.
8:52 pm
stidmama

happy earth day, hetty!

do you have the co 4 that is short for a "masked bandit" of the forest and now common around cities...
8:53 pm
BGL

Hetty~Daniel Boone's hat
8:53 pm
stidmama

the other co 4 that was hard for me to find is an anagram of the co 4 for "metal money"
8:54 pm
stidmama

YAY eva (and everyone else I missed while I was out...)
8:55 pm
stidmama

hetty -- one more co 4 you might have missed... did you get the type of salmon?
8:56 pm
hetty

Yup, Stid, that's the one I called "animal"--turns up in an age or so. Same to you BGL, and many thanks to you both.
8:58 pm

Going to bed now... good luck to all still working on this one! 'Til tomorrow, g'night
8:59 pm

Bless you, Stid. I had the salmon on my list of possible answers--and I hadn't clicked it in. Is everyone as klutzy, I wonder? Anyhoo, I now deserve fireworks, which I dedicate to dear old Will Shakespeare.

co 5/12: sounds like a Barbarian's name, or the TV host "C**** O'Brien" with the last vowel changed.
9:16 pm
stidmama

hetty -- I often think I've typed in something only to discover that I typed "around" it! I think that's 'normal' (to Babblers anyway), especially as we near the end of the day. :-)

think of another word for a Harley Davidson bike, or where bacon comes from.

How come the Yiddish word for thief was on the grid the other day, but today 'goyem' is 'not a word'. As a shiksa, I am still offended! I realize most people spell it 'goyim', but STILL!
9:59 pm

add h to get the ho5 after it

yes, was outside a good bit. Tom and Matthew built a nice big burn pile to get rid of brush -- and there were enough logs and good coals that we could treat the kids to food cooked like the pioneers did... a real stew made in an old-fashioned cast-iron dutch oven buried in the coals, and fry bread in a skillet atop the burning logs. It was delicious!
