12:42 am

melonheadjujube

It was fun - the band has a lot of fans, i loved the flashlight choreography in the audience. But the highlight of my modest career was playing the Verdi Requiem under Rober Shaw at Severance Hall about 20 years ago.

blue the refs in the soccor have been rather dodgy. I am glad harry k went batty

7:39 am

bluephlox

yeah, i agree- the us got shafted in the game that they played 10 players to 9- there are so many red and yellow cards

7:39 am

jakes-mum

I don't think anywhere in england has lay away, which is total pants

7:39 am

movieman

Especially the ref in the Netherlands v Portugal match, I mean 16 bookings and 4 sendings-off......

7:39 am

ShadowWolf

i wonder if white canes and guide dogs are going to be standard at the final, oh and with aus v ittalia it more than likely would have been stupid penalty shotout

7:39 am

Uneaixoise

we have layaway--must be a regional thing

7:40 am

shutterbug

well, come to the USA with me.

7:40 am

bluephlox

they are on a power trip- they did warn the players not to mouth off this year and that they weren't going to take any crap- but this is just silly power hunger

7:40 am

ShadowWolf

exactly jakesmum what i say " total pants" i use it in the text of 'pantsd dance'

7:40 am

7:41 am

if theres only one green "2" in a row, thats where the 2 is, no matter what other greenies are in that little square...

10:21 am

FMitch

Just looked it up, can you believe, the real meaning for the se8 is a widely distrubuted genus of usually small brown bats!!

Might be serotonin...

10:22 am

1:42 pm

Not a bad gig, it sounds. Look into it, esquian. I think my friend does it. I'll have to ask her how she got into it.

1:42 pm

esquian

Thank you!

1:43 pm

Munner

I can send you some signup sites if you're interested. I'm sure the DC area has some good opportunities.

1:44 pm

esquian

that would be great! it would be something for us to do, especially in these long summer months when there's no school....

1:44 pm

esquian

my e-mail address is auntto20@yahoo.com

1:45 pm

periwinkle

Munner, would you please send me some sign up sites too, I live in Phila. Pa. I will put my e-mail address in my profile.

1:45 pm

mattygroves

Am I being really, really stupid? tr9 - Italian restaurant - are the forth and fifth leters the same as the first?

1:46 pm

Munner

Ill get the list from my daughter and send it out to you. I'll put Babble from Munner in the subject line.

1:46 pm

periwinkle

yes, matty

1:46 pm

Munner

esquian, do you really have 20 nieces and nephews?

1:46 pm

inge

here goes my attempt for ye 5: word for noble man, change g to y and drop last 5 letters add e

1:46 pm

periwinkle

matty, the tr9 ends with the second vowel

1:47 pm

esquian

yes, I do. I am the youngest of 8 children and my husband is the middle of 7, so between the two of us, we have 20. It's great!

1:47 pm

inge

yes Matty

1:47 pm

mattygroves

OK, got it now. In fact, it seems I got it a few goes ago...and didn't notice. Sigh.

1:47 pm

Munner

Lucky you. What wonderful family reunions!

1:47 pm

periwinkle

Munner did you see my request?

1:47 pm

esquian

The one downside is that the ones on my side are no where near my childrens' ages, but the ones on my husband's side are close in age and in the area.

1:48 pm

esquian

Yes, reunions are fun. My son (3 year old) was the ring bearer in my oldest nephew's wedding. It was really neat.

1:48 pm

Krista

it worked for me, inge..ty

1:48 pm

Munner

Yes, peri. But if you don't hear from me in a couple days, ask me again. I blame all forgetfulness on "chemo brain"!

1:49 pm

periwinkle

okay, Munner, thanks

1:49 pm

abe79

thanks inge, i'm going to work on it :)

1:49 pm

esquian

sorry to hear of chemo, Munner. Sounds like you caught the reoccurance of your cancer quickly. That's key, I'm sure.

1:50 pm

Krista

Are you in DC proper, Esquian? Rachael Ray was there last night for her 40.00 a Day program. I get into the city a few times a year.

1:50 pm

esquian

No, I'm out in the burbs in VA, but would be willing to go in if I could bring my kids with me.

1:51 pm

esquian

It's only about 20 minutes away

1:51 pm

esquian

Rachel Ray - she's the cook right?

1:51 pm

Krista

My husband used to commute to Tyson's Corner from here (Hagerstown). It was brutal. I was wondering what it would be like to like right in the city with kids. Would be difficult, I think. Yes, that's her.

1:52 pm

mattygroves

Gawd, that would be some commute, Krista!

1:52 pm

Krista

live right in the city, I meant

1:52 pm

esquian

That is a hellish commute. That's one reason we still live in our townhouse. My husband's commute is 20 minutes door to door.

1:52 pm

Krista

Well, it SHOULD have taken a little over an hour, but the traffic is so bad there now (Rt. 7?).

1:53 pm

Krista

@0 min. is great. Mine works from home now, and he does not take it for granted. He is grateful every day!

1:53 pm

Atalante

how did you find focus groups around you, matty?

1:54 pm

esquian

Yes, I would think the city would be difficult with young children. With the lack of parking you'd have to ride the subway or walk everywhere... that's hard with strollers. :)

1:54 pm

esquian

That's GREAT, Krista. My husband is trying to get a telecommuting program going at his work, but they are just resisten.

1:54 pm

esquian

* resistent

1:56 pm

esquian

Nice chatting with you, Krista. Gotta run. My 5yo wants to play checkers...... I should get her onto Babble!

1:56 pm

I hope he can convince them. It's good for everyone involved.

2:47 pm

ch1212

haz, I can't anagram men's neckwear from the postion of the 'ra' start -- it's all in a tidy little row. ?

LOL thanks deutsch!

2:48 pm

en + dust creature, change last letter to sometimes vowel

2:48 pm

ch1212

inge, the en 6/27 means "deep seated, often mutual hatred"

2:48 pm

te7/32 - shortened term for a private investigator (three letters) then the beverage sounding letter and the infamous men's neckwear anagram. It all sounds like a something technical!

3:04 pm

ch1212

Stephie, if you have the te 5/12 above it, then use the first 3 letters, then the beverage letter, then 3rd vowel, beverage letter again and 2nd vowel... does that spell it out? :)

3:05 pm

StephieC

I don't have the te5 above it!

3:05 pm

hi all

3:05 pm

Hey! Looks like we're on for the big trip

3:38 pm

Norad

yaaahhh!

3:38 pm

esquian

Dan is going to fly down after work on the 12th

3:38 pm

Norad

Is it still raining there?

3:38 pm

esquian

nope...today is our reprieve day

3:39 pm

Norad

no rain is good...we could use a little though...has Dan been off work?

3:39 pm

esquian

kids in pool. Youngest is asleep. there's something called a "tropical event" they're tracking for us, though.

3:39 pm

esquian

no, no work missed. the fed gov was on liberal leave on Monday

3:39 pm

Norad

So he flies on Wed eve and do you leave then or thurs am?

3:40 pm

esquian

no, we'll probably leave on Saturday. We've decided to miss his cousin's wedding. He was just exhausted by the thought of flying down and turning right back around.

3:41 pm

Norad

sounds like a GREAT plan! are you planning on chatta during the visit?

3:42 pm

esquian

I was thinking about that, since Mom's surgery will be done after we get there. Therese mentioned something about Lake Winnie sometime, although it might be hot for that....

3:43 pm

esquian

Do you think Mom would be too overwhelmed by all that company right after?

3:43 pm

esquian

btw, tmsm doesn't know we're coming

3:43 pm

esquian

that was part of our conversation when she asked if we were coming over the summer

3:44 pm

esquian

however, we will see Nana for much of August, so I don't know if we should go? Short answer: I don't know yet. What do you think?

3:44 pm

Norad

I probably won't be talking to her to tell her :} I don't know about mom...her plan is surgery on the 5th, 4 or 5 days at P &K's for recovery and then I told her I would come after my bday

3:45 pm

Norad

we could play it by ear

3:45 pm

esquian

ahhhh....so she'll be staying at P&K's anyway. We could take over her house then and not overwhelm her

3:45 pm

Norad

I can go after you guys head home...

3:46 pm

Norad

do you think she'd be mad if we were there and she wasn't or be really happy that we were using her place and getting to visit with her?

3:46 pm

esquian

is she expecting you right after P&K's though?

3:47 pm

dodge

en7/28 please??

3:48 pm

Norad

sorry dodge, I have no e's yet. esquian we still had not pinned down a date, she didn't seem to really want me there right away, so I don't know...

my sister calls my son a gooby...what exactly does that mean? I'm assuming a silly person??

3:54 pm

exactly... but with affection, not with derision in any way

3:55 pm

Norad

a gooby...the definition of esquian's extremely cute little fellow...EXACTLY goob!

debbinla

bye mike - love you

3:59 pm

esquian

norad - found out today that kiddo #3 might have eczema

4:02 pm

Norad

eczema? I can hardly spell it, what are her symptoms?

4:03 pm

esquian

she's got red, bumpy patches at the creases of her elbows and back of knees and some red spots that won't go away on back of her thighs

4:03 pm

esquian

we can lessen it, but it never goes away completly

4:03 pm

esquian

* completely

4:03 pm

Atalante

elbows and knees is very symptomatic of ezcema

4:04 pm

Norad

did the dr. tell you?

4:04 pm

esquian

yeah...that's what the pediatrition said

4:04 pm

Norad

doesn't nora anne have that?

4:04 pm

esquian

maybe....she had a pretty severe case right?

4:05 pm

Norad

yeah, but didn't really diagnose until later in life...

4:05 pm

esquian

it is something that she'll have forever, but it's a "flare up" thing from what I understand

4:05 pm

Norad

that # 3, good thing she's such a cutie girl! how is it controlled?

4:05 pm

esquian

doesn't seem to bother her much. I see her itching it sometimes but not often.

4:06 pm

esquian

I know....seems she's just getting so many things the others don't/didn't have

4:06 pm

Atalante

my experiences with eczema if you're interested - try cutting out milk / dairy products. often helps a *lot*. whatever she does, don't scratch the stuff lol and moisturise moisturise moisturise!

4:06 pm

esquian

controlled by creams/lotions for moisture. if it gets really bad they can prescribe something like Elidel

4:07 pm

esquian

but I don't think they'll do that 'til she's over two

4:07 pm

esquian

Thanks, Atalante. I'll give that a try. She has backed off the milk lately. i wonder if it "flares" right after she drinks it. hmmm....

4:08 pm

Norad

Atalante, all dairy? can she live without ice cream? yikes!

4:09 pm

Atalante

it might well do - its a really common eczema thing. I always feel so much better when I discipline myself and have soy milk and soy icecream!

4:09 pm

Atalante

doesn't always work though :P

4:10 pm

aknitter

any clues for the ac 6 (first one) please

4:11 pm

yw

4:15 pm

esquian

txs, atalante for the dairy stuff. she's not eating ice cream yet, so maybe she won't know what she's missing! ;)

4:16 pm

Norad

wtg DawnGray, that gave me both ac 6's and the tr 8. You never know what one word can open up!

4:16 pm

Atalante

its definitely worth a go. doesn't work for everyone, but it works for a lot of people with eczema (and asthma)!

4:16 pm

babbz

Please excuse my ignorance with this great game - I'm a newbie. Question: Can you tie this page in with the Lickety's Babble Clues Page so if you type a word in on the Lickety page it comes up on this page too? Thanks, Barb

4:17 pm

Atalante

sorry, babbz, that's about the only thing lickety';s page doesn't do

4:19 pm

chiley

wowzer...I have 10 te's left

4:20 pm

DawnGray

Wow! I haven't got the other ac6 or tr8 yet.

4:21 pm

babbz

btw, I was reading comments about someone's child having eczema and wanted to share my theory on this...i have it too and i think there's a connection between perspiration and eczema. I started putting antiperspirant behind my knees, in my elbow folds, neck, etc. and guess what - I don't get any flare ups there. I figured if it's okay for underarms, it's probably okay everywhere else too so I use ban roll on and i'll be dipped, it works like a charm! i can't imagine it can hurt a child any more than the eczema but you should probably check with your doc first.

4:21 pm

melonheadjujube

phantom word - metric

4:21 pm

72 Temple Owl

the t words seem endless today...

4:22 pm

Atalante

I would say that that depends on whether someone's skin reacts badly to antiperspirants or not ...

4:23 pm

oggy

evening all

4:23 pm

Norad

ac 6/21: something done or accomplished and tr8 builds off the front of that...hope this helps

4:23 pm

Norad

hello oggy...

4:23 pm

esquian

thanks, babbz. might be worth a try. I will ask the doc. We're going in for an appointment tomorrow to confirm, so I'll ask.

4:24 pm

babbz

very true- gotta be a ymmv thing, but i do think that some folks are allergic to their own perspiration - it's just too strong .

4:24 pm

DawnGray

Now I got 'em. Thanks, Norad

Hi, everyone--I'm following the exzema conversation. Could it be hives, by any chance? I'm not an MD BY THE WAY, BUT i'M PLAGUED W/HIVES, AND WE CAN'T FIGURE IT OUT. (sorry about caps lock). I take antihistamines

4:24 pm

good afternoon everyone

4:24 pm

Norad

glad to help DawnGray!

4:24 pm

debbinla

hiya ardilla

4:25 pm

Norad

hello ardilla...

4:25 pm

Atalante

I'm not sure which ends up being worse - perspiration or anti-perspirant!!

4:26 pm

esquian

funny you should ask about the hives thing. We were at another appointment today, and someone mentioned they have had eczema since they were a kid. she was given steroids for it back then. wouldn't that be something given for hives?

4:26 pm

atropos

i have taken steroids for hives

4:26 pm

Atalante

you do get steroids for bad eczema ...

4:27 pm

Cherrypop

Keep in mind that some soaps and detergents cause different reactions.

4:27 pm

leighprefect

Hello peopleseses. I'm here for a quick hello

4:27 pm

esquian

I don't think my daughter's is hives, though. It's not raised enough, I don't think. It's more scabby (sorry for that visual).

4:27 pm

mirandapan

I'm just on zyrtec prescription--but the mystery is what in the world causes it

4:27 pm

Atalante

scabby and yellow-y clear scabby stuff ... (even nicer visuals)!

4:28 pm

Atalante

when my eczema gets bad, I end up on oral and topical steroids. Joy.

4:28 pm

ardilla

I have eczema as well. Mine is controlled with steroid creams, one for the face and one for the body following with a thick moisturizer like Eucerin. I haven't had a breakout in about 18 months but I keep the steroids handy just in case.

4:29 pm

debbinla

hi leigh

4:29 pm

esquian

mirandapan - the nurse at the doctor's office said that no one really knows the cause of eczema. It's just really over sensative skin. She said her whole family has it, adn it can flare just by laying down on a carpet or laying next to a chemical that is of no harm to others.

4:30 pm

esquian

she recommended Eucerin and Aquafor

4:30 pm

ardilla

I feel your pain, Atalante. It's quite gross especially when it's on your upper lip!

4:30 pm

mirandapan

Right, esq--mysteries of the medical world. The smaller things that we can't seem to figure out.

4:30 pm

Norad

what is Aquafor? a moisturizer?

4:31 pm

Atalante

its a bloody stupid condition! its so individual ... you'll just have to find through trial and error what irritates them ...

4:31 pm

esquian

norad - yes, it's like intense vasaline

4:31 pm

esquian

we've been putting a heavy coat of A&D on at nights before bed and it definitely fades it but it never goes completely away

4:32 pm

chiley

I need help with ti6/21

4:32 pm

ardilla

much like stupid allergies...the triggers vary from person to person even in the same family.

4:32 pm

melonheadjujube

got all the Ls! lalalalala!

4:32 pm

Norad

you said she is scratching, just time to time or often? is it worse when she plays in the pool (or sun)

4:32 pm

Atalante

it probably will go away eventually. it seems to come and go over months. I used to have it all over my body as a baby - literally all over - and then suddenly it vanished until about 2 years ago. Who knows why!

4:33 pm

Haz1558

ti6/21 rhymes with Mr Brosnan's first name

4:33 pm

Norad

thx Haz, good clue...

4:33 pm

chiley

oh thanx

4:34 pm

Haz1558

I like anything that makes me think of Mr Brosnan....

4:34 pm

ardilla

my mom and brother can't stand being outside because of the pollen. I can't being indoors somedays because of the dust and mold.

4:35 pm

esquian

Norad - she scratches very rarely. doesn't seem to bother her much. she doesn't go in the pool, although I'm going to put her in today for the first time. I guess we'll see

4:35 pm

Atalante

I'd just keep a really close eye on when she does scratch. you might be able to narrow down what's irritating her skin that way

4:35 pm

esquian

omg, ardilla. that's just insane, isn't it? nature's little (or big!) annoyances

4:35 pm

ardilla

Good luck with it, Atalante!

4:35 pm

melonheadjujube

ti 6/21 is a toughie - it's between the 1st two ti 4/4s - time to call in the monkeys

4:36 pm

esquian

good to know it might go away eventually, Atalante!

4:36 pm

melonheadjujube

and i just got it - after scanning bottom line of chat & seeing the name Brosnan{swoon}

4:37 pm

Norad

Yeah, first swim in the pool day with the "big kids"...I'm excited for her...watch the slide though... :0

4:37 pm

Atalante

oh yes - more than likely it will, at least for a while! It seems to work at least vaguely on the same idea of 7 year cycles like asthma and bronchitis. so persevere!

4:37 pm

esquian

thanks for the chat about the eczema. Good info and good hope! :) Now to the pool with the little one! :) I'm thinking I'm not going to get many words today, but this has been really helpful!

4:37 pm

debbinla

tr 8/45 anyone?

4:37 pm

Atalante

have fun with her!

4:38 pm

Haz1558

tr8/45 - the act of drawing or pulling.

4:38 pm

ardilla

like if they ever got strep throat, I'm in trouble because I'm highly allergic to penicillin. Good luck with her, esquian!

4:38 pm

4:54 pm

brandyjack

4:54 pm

melonheadjujube

it ends with a suffix that is more often a prefix. seems like a verb.

4:54 pm

libarebel

yw, night!

4:54 pm

Atalante

4:54 pm

mirandapan

deb--yes--and a vowel + cons

4:55 pm

4:56 pm

brandyjack

Deb, 1st qu7, it's like a barbershop qu***** with an extra member....

4:56 pm

debbinla

thanks all - i'm working on it

4:58 pm

melonheadjujube

qu9 is a french fivesome

4:58 pm

Atalante

and bye from me too!

4:58 pm

libarebel

qu9/72 is diminutive of 5-piece group...

4:58 pm

debbinla

was looking the wrong way - thanks so much everyone

4:59 pm

brandyjack

which is actually a re-spelling of the qu7 which is pronouced exactly the same....

4:59 pm

libarebel

or, feminine...

5:00 pm

melonheadjujube

oddly, the feminine is not necessarily a girl group - or should i say "enesmble des jeunes filles"

5:00 pm

libarebel

lol, melon!

5:00 pm

melonheadjujube

tx & bye - off to life drawing.

5:00 pm

libarebel

maybe just diminutive...

5:01 pm

stidmama

hello all, just got home with Matthew after the tooth adventure... he is really groggy but okay. It'll be a couple days before he is back on solid food, though!

5:01 pm

faeriekae

Hey Gang any clues for the cr7???

5:01 pm

libarebel

I love life drawing-- just heard of a really affordable workshop!

5:02 pm

stidmama

hi faeriekae! the cr 7/32 I have is the animals we keep, no matter the type

5:02 pm

libarebel

acr7/32 is a beastie

5:02 pm

melonheadjujube

qu9 requires 3 right turns to start - whereas qu7 does not - that's what made it so hard to find - "I shoulda turned right at Albuquerque?"

5:02 pm

faeriekae

and REFRESH please

5:02 pm

faeriekae

thanks Stid :)

5:02 pm

stidmama

mich_pdx

hey, gang! in my rush to get ready for my trip I forgot to tell you all I was going back East for almost 3 weeks -- here at the Jersey Shore in Cape May, getting tan (for me) with a ton of relatives!

5:04 pm

stidmama

oops, sorry about that double post. I am going to go silent now and grab the list. Got halfway last night and haven't touched it since...

5:04 pm

5:05 pm

libarebel

5:05 pm

mich_pdx

5:05 pm

faeriekae

Lib I'm using the emoticons from MSN instant messenger

5:05 pm

melonheadjujube

evandine - i have the same problem.

5:06 pm

mich_pdx

5:06 pm

libarebel

5:06 pm

stidmama

melonheadjujube

5:08 pm

mich_pdx

5:08 pm

stidmama

we miss you too mich -- when will you be home?

5:08 pm

harpjane

5:08 pm

EvaNadine

5:09 pm

jillibus

5:16 pm

stidmama

5:17 pm

stidmama

hetty -- will that interfere with your trip to Ashland?

5:18 pm

esquian

flask - did you find it?

5:19 pm

hetty

Thaks all. I was worried about NOT being on your list, Stid--feel much better that it's a NOW! I shall go to Ashland-look it's no life-threatening matter, really--and nothing will keep me from the fourth of july and King John in Ashland anyway!

5:20 pm

stidmama

:-) then I feel better about all of it, and you are STILL on my list. {{{hetty}}}

5:28 pm

debbinla

5:28 pm

stidmama

I am, however, down to 109. Will stop at 100 and go play outside just a little, watering the veggies today.

5:28 pm

5:29 pm

Candace517

OK, I'm a total newbie... the "tile stats" refers to words that begin with that letter?

5:29 pm

FranMag

stid, what kind of veggies

5:29 pm

faeriekae

Hi Bbnaz

5:30 pm

faeriekae

Candace you are correct

5:30 pm

Anniebrook

hola, bbnaz

5:30 pm

FranMag

candace, they refer to the number of words that start with a particular tile

5:30 pm

stidmama

we have tomatoes, garlic, squash and pumpkins, and a few lettuces that haven't bolted yet. I want to plant some flower seeds tomorrow.

5:30 pm

stidmama

5:31 pm

bbnaz

it is so bloody hot here that by the time i get done riding my horses it is time to sleep and rejuvenate for the morning.........

5:31 pm

FranMag

must be fun to cook with things from your own garden, i still need to get some herbs growing, we keep saying we're going to.

5:32 pm

bbnaz

i am slowly killing a fuschia plant that was never intended to live in the desert

5:32 pm

stidmama

well, okay... but know you were missed terribly... how is the mama and baby -- I forgot their names it's been so long...

5:32 pm

bbnaz

Iris and Luna. They are getting ready to go to summer camp where it is much COOLER

5:32 pm

stidmama

Strangely, herbs are a plant I have extreme difficulty keeping alive... we have a few chives and a bay plant that finally decided to live...

5:32 pm

tndaisy1960

{{{{Stid}}}

5:32 pm

bbnaz

Luna is going to be gray just like her mum

5:33 pm

stidmama

Good. So Iris is healing well and Luna is (I hope) settling down a bit?

5:33 pm

stidmama

hi Daisy, I IM'd you a bit ago... I see you replied and I hadn't seen it blinking at me.

5:33 pm

FranMag

that's funny stid because most herbs grow like weeds!

5:33 pm

faeriekae

Hi Daisy

5:33 pm

bbnaz

Iris has finally been given the green light to go out to pasture so all is well there. Luna is growing like a weed and needs to be out where she can run and play. Enuf of this stall rest she says!

5:34 pm

tndaisy1960

hi faeri:)

5:34 pm

FranMag

hi daisy!

5:34 pm

stidmama

I am the only person in the world, I suspect, for whom the easy plants go quickly and the difficult ones thrive...

5:34 pm

tndaisy1960

Fran! hey:)

5:34 pm

stidmama

well, good for all of you! Will you be going to summer camp too?

5:35 pm

5:38 pm

tndaisy1960

5:39 pm

stidmama

okay, everyone who wants to be part of *my* garden of friendship, please email me with your favorite flower (or if you don't have one, favorite color or sound) and I will put one together! I am thinking of calling it the "Garden of Babble" -- and hope it doesn't mangle communication... ;-)

6:23 pm

debbinla

6:24 pm

FranMag

katican, re8/55 is what you have to do to older things to make them work with new technology.

6:24 pm

Jacula

katican - you can view the whole chatlog by clicking the icon above (far right) of this box.

6:24 pm

Bambam

katican, a 70's bout of epilepsy?

6:24 pm

katican

oh, didnt know that, thanks Jac :)

6:24 pm

Jacula

It opens in a new window and so doesn't affect your game.

6:25 pm

FranMag

clever bambam!

6:25 pm

katican

6:32 pm

tndaisy1960

speaking of the rodents...I just tried what I thought was a silly word...and it worked...*scratches head in amazement at Enable*
