3:11 am

Atalante

versailles is amazing

3:11 am

Merk

Yes, babbling from China. And I'm really, really busy. Is it worth starting today's puzzle. Yesterday almost killed me.

3:12 am

hurshy

i am starting to believe that babble will mold itself into whatever time one has available.

3:13 am

Heygan

Hi hi hurshy

3:13 am

hurshy

hi. ok so start cluing me up folks. anything weird, and maybe the biggies

3:13 am

hydra

I work from home, Merk, so I have to be very disciplined about how much time I spend Babbling; I set myself a goal of scoring 1000 points, then stop and get some work done, and go back to it in the evening.

3:14 am

Heygan

wrong, I read a lotsa books, heroic fantasy ones and I swear this take a lotsa time (about 800 pages for about 2 weeks hen I'm not on vacation)

3:14 am

firema

see ya guys catch u later

3:14 am

Merk

I like to get the long ones out of the way first, but they're easier if I've done the short ones.

3:15 am

hurshy

well i've already got 139 and i just started about 20 mins ago

3:15 am

firema

Ive only got 24 words

3:15 am

hurshy

but then i'm fast at the beginning.

3:15 am

hydra

You're really good, hurshy. I started half an hour ago and have only got 88 words.

3:17 am

hurshy

is the server being a bit slow for other people?

3:17 am

hydra

Very slow.

3:17 am

Cat9x

in + **ars of a clown + cheese *****r, for in9/66, past tense for in10/91, hope that makes sense, I'm very tired here :)

3:18 am

hurshy

oooh what a nice word to have.

3:18 am

Heygan

my bad, still got 186 words to find... :(

3:18 am

ExWren

Oh no! Not another biggie. I couldn't face yesterdays grid, not sure about this one.

3:19 am

hydra

Don't worry. We all go at our own pace, heygan

3:19 am

hurshy

they let us have unrip right? so why not...

3:19 am

hydra

I only did half of yesterday's. Don't beat yourself up, exwren!

3:19 am

Cat9x

the 2nd 9 letter one means to say or do again or repeatedly

3:19 am

hurshy

not that any of us know how you can possibly unrip something

3:20 am

Cat9x

I didn't finish yesterday's either, too busy and it was way too big.

3:21 am

ExWren

Trouble is, I hate to be beaten. Once I start, I have to try to finish.

3:21 am

hurshy

that's the spirit!

3:22 am

hurshy

marchons, marchons!

3:22 am

hydra

I give up when my eyelids start to droop.

3:22 am

hurshy

that happened to me once, hydra. i had driven 14 hours that day.

3:23 am

ExWren

Once I saw how many c's, and in particular, the re's, that decided me. I haven't looked at todays list yet. Oh yes, I work from the 'list'.

3:25 am

hurshy

i'm getting list now.

3:25 am

Cat9x

di8/50, what you go on to lose weight + not him, but ***, plural. The di7/36 is not plural. Odd words.

3:26 am

hurshy

the di is a prefix cat - does that make more sense?

3:26 am

hurshy

but thanks!

3:26 am

Cat9x

remove first vowel in those 2 words, for 2 more words.

3:26 am

Atalante

7:10 am

sprite

Dorens, how did it go?

7:10 am

Dorens

7:10 am

featherbee

awww! everything go ok?

7:11 am

Dorens

i am still high fromit....and yes it was awesome...i went up after she was born, thinking i could see her in the nursery...they sent me into the room with parents and baby, turned out to be the birthing room

7:11 am

sprite

How's the mum?

7:12 am

featherbee

yeah, they don't do nurseries as much any more, it's all in one room pretty much

7:12 am

Dorens

and i spent lots of time with her, holding her, talking, singing to her...actually i brought her from the birthing room to the elevator to her new room, whild dad pushed the wheelchair

7:12 am

featherbee

aww, that's wonderful!

7:12 am

Dorens

mum was pretty tired, but ecstatic...reminded me of me 32 years ago

7:12 am

featherbee

*sniff* you're getting me all misty eyed

7:12 am

sprite

Congratulations, Dorens! *hug*

7:13 am

Dorens

thanks asll---now i know what everyone means when they talk about being a grandma--- ic ould only imagine it before.....so, that being said...this grid is definitely an improvement over yesterday!

7:14 am

Dorens

and i'm on my sister'

7:14 am

featherbee

how did you work the grid out yesterday? ever get anything to print?

7:14 am

Dorens

s computer and it is quite different from mine, so pardon my typos--thas + only about 4 hrs, sleep

7:15 am

Dorens

no, for some reason, my computer would only print the first page..tried it several times and several ways...finally got some sense and gave up

7:15 am

featherbee

this one is MUCH better

7:15 am

Dorens

if there is one day i don't finish the grid, yesterday was it....when i got here last nite after the hospital, i added many more, after reentering the grid which took forever

7:16 am

featherbee

ok, i need to go get daniel, he's sleeping in today, and if i don't get him now, his whole day will be thrown off

7:16 am

Dorens

but was still way short of completion at the flip. i think the baby was more valuable than the firewroks, however

7:16 am

Dorens

bye feather, have a great day

7:16 am

FranMag

see ya feather!

7:17 am

sprite

"I fought I faw a puffycat"... Tw5/18y is not valid!

7:18 am

SueMagee

I wondered about that one too, Sprite!

7:19 am

FranMag

thanks for the 5/18 though! too bad tw5/18er is a phantom!

7:19 am

sprite

bummer :(
Still, it's a nice grid!

7:20 am

FranMag

yes, tw5/20 as nice as yesterday!

7:20 am

sprite

Hehehe :D

7:20 am

lynxxx

Dorens - I prefer a printed list too but did you see the message from Angel - there is a new side-bar which means you can see the list plus the babble page

7:21 am

Dorens

thanks lynx, and where would this side bar appear?

7:22 am

sprite

I sooo much want retrograde :(

7:23 am

Dorens

yes, and i want zither

7:23 am

lynxxx

look in Angelsongs link below - you need to fiddle a bit but is doable - even for some-one as helpless as me

7:23 am

Atalante

I want geewhiz

7:23 am

Dorens

thanks, will do

7:23 am

Charm

Dorens, zither is almost there - with another beginning consonant.

7:23 am

sprite

owwww Ata, so do I!

7:24 am

Dorens

oh thanks charm...i se

7:24 am

sprite

True Charm, but we want it w4 the Z! Darn useless Z.

7:24 am

Charm

7:25 am

Isn't there any nuze to tell?

7:25 am

Dorens

7:25 am

Dorens

7:25 am

Charm

7:29 am

sprite

I have a 9 that is the present tense of the 10.

7:29 am

Dorens

7:29 am

7:30 am

Charm

7:31 am

7:32 am

mattygroves

Oooh - i was being too negative!

7:32 am

Dorens

sounds like news about the temp, eetc

7:32 am

sprite

And I have a combo Re7/32-8/45 someone(s) that quote(s) texts aloud.

7:33 am

Charm

thanks sprite! are you done?

7:33 am

mattygroves

And to have quoted texts aloud as well!

7:33 am

sprite

Merk: made moist.
Charm: no, not done yet!

7:34 am

mattygroves

Any really weird words here?

7:34 am

FranMag

thanks sprite and matty! i might get to sleep tonight after all.

7:34 am

Merk

I have one that sounds like the news about forecasts, so it must be the other one I'm missing.

7:35 am

lynxxx

Matty - Try YE4.10

7:35 am

sprite

Merk: made moist.

7:35 am

Merk

Thanks, Sprite. I didn't go that way for the second cross letter, duh!

7:35 am

sprite

Matty: a4/10 axlike tool with a curved blade at right angles to the handle, used for shaping wood

7:35 am

mattygroves

Got that one - it is weird - it sounds like something out of HP Lovecraft!

7:36 am

Kateq

7:36 am

What about DI 7.36 & 8.50

7:36 am

sprite

True lynxxx, they are strange too.

7:37 am

mattygroves

I have a di 7/36, but not an 8/50. The 7/36 would describe what an indecisive person does...

7:37 am

sprite

matty: try the same, but start with a program to loose weight.

7:37 am

Kateq

Matty--add an e to the 7/36

7:38 am

mattygroves

Yep, that's strange...

7:38 am

mattygroves

Anyone know what it means?

7:38 am

Charm

sprite, I'd love to hang around and just eat up all your lovely clues, but I've got to get the Monster Baby to camp. see everyone later - 124 to go....

7:45 am

Now, that's 3 times in a row. I will pay more attention. Ever so sorry.

7:45 am

Atalante

what sprite keeps doing :P that's whats wrong lol

7:46 am

sprite

Exactly so!

7:48 am

SueMagee

It wouldn't seem like a major problem to fix it and it would improve the game no end.

7:49 am

FranMag

sprite, if you do it again, can you make it a 7 or 8 letter word?? :-)

7:49 am

Atalante

you would think, wouldn't you!

7:49 am

mattygroves

Ah...yes, I've done that a bunch of times. Sometimes a whole bunch in a row, as I touch type, and don't always see what I'm typing.

7:49 am

Atalante

yes - and preferably one I haven't got please!

7:49 am

sprite

When I stay at the R4/9, I rent a car from H5/22 :)

We are right with you, Sue. I'd say that by now it is perfectly clear that it is NOT a matter of getting used to it.

7:49 am

mattygroves

I want zewt to be there.

7:50 am

sprite

LOL Fran! I will try... not to do that again!

7:51 am

FranMag

great clues sprite!

7:52 am

sprite

yw, Fran! Not that I ever stay at the R4, but it's allowed to tell lies when giving clues, right?

7:53 am

hmmmm- not getting that, but thanks..maybe it will come to me

8:03 am

sprite

Do you have both ei6/21's? It's in between them.

8:04 am

Dorens

yes i do, that's why this isso strange

8:04 am

FranMag

dorens, i just used a reverse dictionary to find it, thanks sprite and kateq!

8:04 am

Or: ei4/5 + nervous habit in the face

8:05 am

Dorens

thanks sprite, that did it

8:05 am

Dorens

where is this reverse dictionary?

8:05 am

FranMag

angelsong has a link on her resource page, onelook

8:06 am

Dorens

ok, thanks...will do someday...have never used it

8:07 am

Kateq

anyone have the last re 6/21?

8:08 am

Finally got the last biggies. Some nice words in there! :)

8:08 am

Uneaixoise

franmag, your dragonfruit's a little scary!

8:08 am

FranMag

aren't they strange looking? you should see the ones that are fuchsia inside!

8:09 am

sprite

Don't know if it is the last one, Kateq, but my last so far rhymes with We6 made moist.

8:09 am

Uneaixoise

are they actually edible?

8:09 am

FranMag

kate, the last re6/21 is moistened flax

8:10 am

FranMag

yes une, first saw them in Vietnam, but haven't actually tried them, taste is supposed to be pretty mild

8:10 am

Kateq

ty very much!

Hey evanadine

8:10 am

todays icon theme is one i could really sink my teeth into!
;D

8:11 am

Uneaixoise

wow, when were you in vietnam?

8:11 am

FranMag

lovely star fruit evanadine!

8:11 am

FranMag

my best friend got married there! her and her husband (fiance at the time) were living there for a while.

8:11 am

EvaNadine

thanky fran -- your dragonfruit is rather sexy too...hehe

8:12 am

FranMag

une says it's scary!!

8:12 am

sprite

evanadine said a wo-ord, evanadine said a wo-ord, :)

8:12 am

Atalante

this is very random question and a bit of a forlorn hope - but does anyone know anything about pricing for creation of tattoo designs? Not the actual tattoo, just the design ... I have a list of people who want me to do designs and I'm finding it difficult trying to work out what to charge! So I thought I'd ask here. Babblers know everything :)

8:12 am

Uneaixoise

that must have been quite an experience, fran

8:12 am

EvaNadine

no fair calling me on it when i havent even looked at the grid!!
hehe

8:13 am

FranMag

it was une, it's an incredible place.

8:13 am

sprite

I don't know, Ata, but if you would accept such a request, I would be glad to pay your price. Really.

8:13 am

FranMag

atalante, based on what i've seen of your art, you could charge whatever you wanted!

8:14 am

bonkler

ata call up some studios and ask what they charge to do a design and what they charge for flash (what they call designs)

8:15 am

trishtrash

*dittoes Fran* ... how long does something like that take you, Ata?

8:15 am

SueMagee

Decide how much you think you're worth per hour, Ata and charge an hourly rate.

8:15 am

bonkler

they may even be interested in buying your work on a steady basis. good designers become almost celebrities in that world

8:15 am

sprite

Hehe, evanadine, true!

8:15 am

Atalante

thats not helpful, people :P *grins* and yes, sprite, I'm definitely open to requests now, I've decided. I struggled with this one for a while, cos I wasn't really sure whether I wanted to work with tattoos, but I've given in now as I've fiished my first "big" design - and it looks good!

8:16 am

EvaNadine

sprite -- im still trying to figure out which word it was thats in the grid anyway...hehe

8:16 am

sprite

The dental one, evanadine ;)

8:16 am

sprite

Ata, I will email you *hug*

8:17 am

EvaNadine

oh...haha...i was looking at the wrong message anyway...

8:17 am

Atalante

The one I've done took a *long* time, probably about 10 hours in total, but that was for my best friend and a labour of love rather than price. So I guess something more commercial would take less than that ... and I'll do that, bonkler! This is really a new world for me to venture tentatively into ...

8:17 am

FranMag

i don't know if you can actually copywright a tatoo design, but i would try to make sure the tatoo studio couldn't keep using it if you can.

8:18 am

EvaNadine

yes, you certainly can copyright flash!

8:18 am

sprite

Least you can do is only work with respected tattoo shops. They guarantee that an original tattoo is not used again.

8:19 am

lizbethem

Good Morning, Babblers! How many words today?

8:19 am

bonkler

something else you might want to do is ask the studios about limitatiopns in choice of colour, fineness of line, shading and contrasts. no point working on design elements that might not translate to skin. people spend enormous sums on good ink. go for it.

8:19 am

EvaNadine

i once took photos around my favorite tattoo studio for a college photography project + they were very hesitant to let me take pictures of the flash for that very reason

8:19 am

blonde_mama

hi all, realtively new here greywoulf introduced me.

8:20 am

lizbethem

hi blonde

8:20 am

FranMag

hi blonde!

8:21 am

bonkler

you can make your designs exclusive but you can also licence your flash. you then get a cut every time the studio uses a piece of your public work. like music royaltied.

8:21 am

Kallia

Hi Ata.http://www.tattoos-by-design.co.uk
/customdesigns.html..this may be helpful re pricing for tatoos

8:21 am

Atalante

I would hate my designs to be re-used. That was one of my reservations ... if I design things like that, I want to design them for 1 person. Though I suppose I could do little nice celtic doodles and stuff for flash!

8:22 am

blonde_mama

A talante, I saw you talking about your drawings for possible tattoo designs... Do you have them up on a web page? I have a friend who is a tattoo artist and does alot of work in flash

8:22 am

Kallia

odd this conversation ame up now...was actually looking for a designyesterday!

8:24 am

Atalante

I'm just putting online the final version of the one "big" design I've done ... give me 3 mins :)

8:26 am

Atalante

here: http://www.deviantart.com/view/3587902
4/

8:26 am

bonkler

ata, available flash is like advertising. if people like the smaller or more general pieces you do, the studio can tout you for an exclusive design, for which they charge more as well. you both make more money that way.

8:26 am

Atalante

not apologising for the size of that pic, the details aren't visible otherwise!

8:27 am

Anniebrook

good morning, babblers!

8:27 am

Atalante

that's a *very* specialised design! and my friend has got a wonderful wonderful tattooist who has seen the design and is happy with interpreting it. But I'd really quite like to do little celticy whirly flash things too, now I think about it

8:27 am

inge

can someone tell me if in 10 starts with the same four letters as in 9 please

8:28 am

star1

inge yes

8:29 am

Kallia

Atalante that is super!!!

8:29 am

blonde_mama

that is a great piece of work

8:30 am

ata that is the kind of design that could make you a good living working in skin and ink

8:30 am

Anniebrook

minski, is that all???

8:34 am

lizbethem

She must be very creative, Minski

8:34 am

bonkler

ata people spend thousands on body modification. put it this way, how much do women spend on a spa treatment and makeover? hair do and face paint. now translate that to a one of a kind custom design and an exclusive series of public designs, for permanent, lifelong display. good custom work commands a good dollar.

8:35 am

bonkler

or euro as it were...

8:35 am

Minski

She looked so happy and angelic watching Sesame Street with her thumb in her mouth while hugging floppy bear that I didn't expect it right then.

8:36 am

minski, sounds like she knew what she was doing...wait for mom to be distracted.

8:37 am

8:38 am

Atalante

true bonkler ... I think I'll have to pluck up some courage and try and talk to tattoo places round here. If I can find the more "respectable" ones anyway - I know its such a cliche, but I really don't like the idea of running round places that can be pretty intimdating (at least I think so!)

8:38 am

movieman

Alright dudes, what's goin' down in Groovetown, then?

8:39 am

ladynoire1013

Ata, most states require liscensure and inspections in tatto establishments and single use, disposable inks

8:39 am

Munner

Minski, are you sure you're not really the mother of one of my sneaky, adorable grandchildren? They would love being in league with your daughter.

8:39 am

FMitch

Ata - there is a convension in Portsmouth this month or a big one in London in October, might be a bit easier?

8:39 am

bonkler

the upscale parlors are like luxury spas. stay out of the biker places and you'll be fine. the market has changed. everybody has tattoos now, your banker, your nanny, your little sister. nothing to be ascared of.

8:40 am

Atalante

oh *really*? that *odes* sound easier!!

8:40 am

Munner

rumplestiltskin, don't suppose you would consider moving to my neighborhood?

9:03 am

Anniebrook

munner, when it comes to pecan pie all bets are off. seriously, how are you feeling today?

9:05 am

Anniebrook

dorens, a new grandma, how wonderful! you have to tell us the baby's name when you know.

9:05 am

sprite

Any more clues before I run off and start pretending to be a good mum?

9:05 am

Munner

Yucky x 2. Have my lab check today and will likely get another shot to increase red cells. I am SO< SO tired of putting medication in my mouth. Guess that's why real food sounds so good. I truly could probably just eat half a piece of the pie.

9:05 am

Dorens

9:06 am

Munner

bye, Sprite, Have a lovely evening.

9:10 am

Anniebrook

bye sprite

9:11 am

Munner

flosey, thanks for a positive. so many people, when they find out a person has cancer, want to tell the "horror" stories.

9:12 am

Munner

Ummmmm. chicken soup :)

9:12 am

flosey

lots of positive ones - we know them personally

9:12 am

Anniebrook

with matzoh balls, munner

blonde are you australian?

9:15 am

blonde_mama

no, Pennsylvania, USA

9:16 am

Munner

Thank you, thank you. I know staying positive is so important but also so difficult when the side effects are so vicious. It will be better soon as my second son and his family are moving back to Montgomery AL from the DC area. That's just 2 hours down the road (if I'm driving my Infiniti G35 with the laser detector on!)

9:16 am

oh I thought you might have been from Australia

9:17 am

Hang in there Munner, you can beat this !

9:17 am

star1

Hugs Munner!

9:24 am

Munner

Okay, I'm at the halfway point, 125 found. Would someone give me a clue for the E next to the Z box. Then I will meet my self-enforced rule of only going to the list once I have "half the words and at least one word from every box". I know, stupid, but it's the obsessive-compulsive "Monk" behavior in me.

9:25 am

Minski

Munner I just read your profile for the first time. I didn't know about your cancer. My thoughts and prayers will be with you and I am sending over some go away evil cancer vibes.

9:25 am

goofball

how many words? 250?

9:26 am

goofball

(Hi, everyone!)

9:26 am

Minski

yepper goof

9:26 am

Munner

Minski, I'll take your evil cancer vibes and send the super good another baby vibes to you.'

9:27 am

ladynoire1013

Munner, et5 - a gas that puts you to sleep

9:27 am

Munner

lady, that one is credited to the E two boxes above the E I need.

9:28 am

Onpaki

hi goofball, it is 250 words. yes!

9:28 am

Munner

either

9:28 am

goofball

is it easy, not so easy, or hard today?

9:28 am

Minski

thanks for that munner. I could use it. the meds have made my monthly late. We are supposed to go to New Hampshire for the weekend tonight but I have to go to the clinic for cycle day 2 bloodwork and a transvaginal ultrasound. The weekend might end up being an overnight trip.

9:28 am

Munner

oops. A bunch of words could start from either E, but so far none are credited tot he lower E.

9:28 am

Minski

Thanks again munner but that word goes with the wrong E.

9:30 am

Onpaki

i have 37 more to go & am calling it a day. not terribly hard, a number of pluras. that's what the s is there for anyway. :)

9:31 am

Minski

good night onpaki.

9:31 am

goofball

ok! jumping in.....

9:31 am

Munner

I read a wonderful quote this week: "All of us can become discouraged. It is important to know when you feel down, that many others do also and that their circumstances are generally much worse than yours. And it's importnat to know that when one of us is down, it becomes the obligation of his (her) friends to give him (her) a lift."

9:31 am

Minski

utter

9:31 am

Minski

oops

9:32 am

FMitch

Munner got it, it is the et5/18 you need from that e, not the letter count for a hint

9:33 am

Munner

Minski, I'm wishing you well with the clinic visit and prayers for you in wanting another baby. I don't dare even approach the soapbox about the topic of good parents. I have seen so much of the opposite in my years of teaching.

9:34 am

FMitch

That is a good quote Munner and Babble is a great place to come for a lift I have found.

9:34 am

Munner

It's often the best part of my day, FMitch.

9:35 am

Krista

Hi Munner - I just got on and can't read your original post now, but I take it you are feeling poorly. I'm sending you my prayers and some reiki, and, if it helps any, the understanding of someone who has been through some really bad chemo days.

11:22 am

72 Temple Owl

11:22 am

stidmama

pabtrek: that is actually there, but in a different medieval spelling... start with a different cons.

11:22 am

72 Temple Owl

et5/18 = e & tw4/8

11:22 am

Krista

stid - my head is in the e**** most of the time

11:23 am

stidmama

(me too Krista)

11:23 am

Krista

i meant that for TO

11:23 am

72 Temple Owl

stid: had the word, box still white

11:23 am

stidmama

oh, Work! (that's a four letter word, and I meant every letter of it!)

11:23 am

FMitch

TO
et5/18 = e & tw4/8

11:24 am

stidmama

hm. don't know then. maybe it came from the E on the right. Will look some more...

11:24 am

72 Temple Owl

ty mitch that did it! and all for help

11:24 am

Krista

can you eat medlars, stid?

11:24 am

stidmama

thanks Mitch!

11:25 am

pabtrek

thanks stidmama, i had that already, didn't know it was an alternate spelling.

11:25 am

FMitch

Just noticed that it is an alt sp for the et4/5 - the small needlecase

11:25 am

stidmama

yes, medlars are edible. I have not managed to get them to the point where they taste good -- like avocados, you have to pick them before they are ready, and blet them for a while. Then eat as soon as they are "perfect"....

11:26 am

Krista

just looked up bletting...good word...they look like a tropical fruit

11:27 am

featherbee

ugh, hi. migraine.

11:27 am

stidmama

but they are actually from places that get bitterly cold in the winter! I love the tree in my garden... it has flowers much of the year.

11:28 am

stidmama

oh feather... did you overdo the paint? Sometimes fumes do that to me. *offers empathy and dark sunglasses*

11:28 am

featherbee

i'm just waiting for daniel to finish eating his lunch, then i'm going to do a few words and crawl into bed

11:28 am

Krista

hi feather..sorry to hear that. hope the paint isn't getting to you (have a friend like that)..interesting, stid!

11:29 am

featherbee

no, the paint's been closed up for several days, unless this is a delayed reaction. i get them based on weather, hormones, or a combination of the two

11:29 am

Krista

it must be awful.

11:29 am

featherbee

yes. it's entirely too bright in here.

11:29 am

LUCKY

Hi all I am in France now and playing again, do you have any clues for the 10o letter word

11:29 am

stidmama

I wear sunglasses and dim my monitor as far as I can so I can babble with migraines... sad isn't it?

11:30 am

stidmama

Hello Lucky! the 10 letter word is a past tense of the in 9...

11:30 am

featherbee

hmmm....that's a thought...

11:30 am

Krista

i'm off to take my daughter to an appointment (with printed grid in hand)..have a great afternoon, all.

11:30 am

Stidma do you know france? It is the middle of France called the Auvergne

11:33 am

stidmama

hi Atalante! did you have a good nap? (assuming that's what the yawn is for, and not bored of babbling...)

11:34 am

72 Temple Owl

hi all who have recently joined

11:34 am

Atalante

definitely a nap! very good except the fukids kept trying to act as feet warmers and chest warmers. NOT necessary today!

11:35 am

Dorens

first two ea's, please?

11:35 am

stidmama

oh -- I was looking at a map with our elder child yesterday. Yes. I know where that is. I think that's the place with the really great valleys and river?

11:35 am

stidmama

hello Dorens! is the grandbaby still amazing and sweet?

11:35 am

Dorens

hi all...about to leave and see her for the first tine today

11:35 am

Dorens

11:36 am

abe79

bring us a picture, Dorens!

11:36 am

stidmama

11:36 am

LUCKY

Hi all my mom says hi too she sees this game for the very first time

11:41 am

Atalante

11:44 am

Hey Ata - saw your comments ages ago about the venue for the Oct convention, coincidence or what!!!

11:46 am

72 Temple Owl

11:47 am

stidmama

Atalante! have you been getting MORE tattoos? I thought you had already covered the soles of your feet!

11:47 am

72 Temple Owl

4:08 pm

mattygroves

help please?

4:08 pm

featherbee

oh, it's wonderful, especially the frozen crockpot meals. don't have to do anything other than put the stuff in, really.

4:08 pm

Atalante

the good thing about crockpots is that you can make dinner when you feel like it and let it bubble away rather than being confined to making stuff at mealtimes

4:08 pm

mattygroves

hello?

4:09 pm

helenkeller

sorry matty - i don't have that one

4:09 pm

Wyrd

9:24 pm

featherbee

it was wonderful! however, i burnt my tongue...owie! i felt much better after a full belly too. always helps the head. i'm doing really well now, but i think i'm going to take some tylenol before bed to make sure, as mine usually last 2 days.

9:24 pm

Bambam

ei + finer **tails + facial twitch

9:25 pm

stidmama

9:25 pm

Cathyar

9:26 pm

Bambam

i'm off to do some work, have fun ladies!

9:26 pm

featherbee

yes, it does. i've learned too not to trust it being gone the first night! nothing worse than waking up with a migraine, unless it's waking up with a migraine that you THOUGHT was gone.

9:26 pm

flosey

thanks bambam, great clue

9:26 pm

stidmama

I have never figured out when the bletting is done enough -- always get to them too hard or way too soft!

stidmama

*waiting for wi 5/20 clues*

9:28 pm

featherbee

9:28 pm

stid, add a vowel to your 4/9

9:28 pm

stidmama

9:28 pm

stidmama

and the other 5/20?

9:28 pm

Cathyar

hi stid

9:28 pm

pam

I get them in clusters, barometric pressure is often the cause

9:29 pm

mymuseisme

past tense of color

9:29 pm

featherbee

oops! add a consonant to your 4/8! past tense

9:29 pm

pam

but sometimes, they just happen....

9:29 pm

stidmama

I have heard of cluster headaches... cluster migraines would be a mamadog!

9:29 pm

featherbee

yep, me too. weather and hormones are my triggers

9:29 pm

stidmama

thanks feather!

9:30 pm

pam

those 2 are my bigiies, but sinus issues are there, too...mamadog indeed!!!!!

9:30 pm

featherbee

it's a lot colder out tonight than the past few nights. i haven't been watching the weather, but maybe there's a front moving through. we're close enough to each other to be affected by the same weather!

9:30 pm

Krista

hi stid and others..I was telling my sister about your medlars tonight - she's a botanist in FL (visiting here for 2 weeks) she was fascinated!

9:30 pm

mymuseisme

so stid what does bletting mean?

9:30 pm

stidmama

I haven't completely figured out my triggers -- I know allergies account for some of them; assume hormones are the rest because they went away for years while I nursed the boys and only started up again when we stopped.

9:30 pm

lgorms

have one to go and was hoping to make it without a clue, but I give up :} does anyone have a clue for the ni 6/27?

9:31 pm

stidmama

bletting is what you do with avocados -- harvest them hard, and let them finish ripening off the tree. In fact, these things apparently never ripen on the tree (also like avocados)!

9:31 pm

featherbee

i got tons when pg, then they eased off again for a while. i'm bad, have never gotten my butt in to the dr. for a prescription.

9:31 pm

mymuseisme

great job igorms, it rhymes with very small person

9:31 pm

puptone

ni6/27 = rhymes with a very small person

9:31 pm

featherbee

ahhh, ok!

9:31 pm

Cathyar

2nd wi5/20...can't seem to get the clues for it

9:32 pm

stidmama

me either, but a friend who's a doc recommended Aleve as soon as I get the aura, and that usually works to keep them small.

9:32 pm

lgorms

ty, ty

9:32 pm

stidmama

add a silent vowel to the end of the preposition cathy

9:32 pm

featherbee

think of the color that's not black, take away the H, now make it past tense

9:32 pm

mymuseisme

congrats igorms!!!

9:32 pm

stidmama

YAY igorms!

9:32 pm

lgorms

ty, big one today

9:32 pm

pam

i have the presciption and I also take some OTC meds

9:33 pm

Cathyar

i have that one...according to lickety's page, it's the 2nd one i need

9:33 pm

featherbee

i don't always get an aura. in fact, it's only in the past year that i realized that when things looked like there was a gray haze over everything, that it was me, and not the lighting!

9:33 pm

featherbee

it's very very brief, so sometimes i notice it and sometimes i don't

9:33 pm

stidmama

oh I really want "twit" to be a word

9:34 pm

mymuseisme

wow, listening to you folks, guess I'm lucky I don't get those, only had migraines twice. When I was pregnant, thought it was because I quit the caffeine

9:34 pm

featherbee

ok, enough migraine talk! i'm still sitting here with 20 left, and if i ever want to get to bed, i need to get a move on!

9:34 pm

Krista

did u see my post below, stid?

9:34 pm

pam

i occasionally get an aural, not visual, aura

9:34 pm

Krista

yeah, muse, I've had one migraine, and it was enough

9:34 pm

featherbee

really pam? what's that like?

9:34 pm

pam

OK--we must be boring anyway, LOL

9:34 pm

featherbee

very lucky muse

9:35 pm

stidmama

sorry Krista, I hadn't! that is so cool that your sis is a botanist! even cooler that she's visiting!

9:35 pm

pam

Like I am in an aquarium o

9:35 pm

featherbee

lol, see, i said i would stop, and then i go and ask you another question about it!

9:35 pm

pam

9:35 pm

featherbee

9:36 pm

Krista

she grows all kinds of fruit - think she'd like a medlar now (from what you said, it wouldn't grow in FL)...ouch...ok, back to it

9:36 pm

mymuseisme

re9 nmeans to restate again, repeatedly

9:36 pm

aknitter

oh crap that is the only i that i haven't found yet LOL

9:37 pm

featherbee

awesome muse, i was working on the i7 as you said that one! helped me with both!

9:37 pm

stidmama

LOL -- that is funny! I thought about the re 9 when the it 7 was clued earlier, but never looked to see if it was there!

9:37 pm

flosey

stuck on the et7/36, any clues?

9:37 pm

mymuseisme

it7/28 = it + vowel + rent a car you get the going ****

9:37 pm

aknitter

got it now though ty

9:38 pm

featherbee

if you have the 5/12, it builds off that...

9:38 pm

stidmama

it might grow in florida... I don't know. I can grow figs here, and probably pomegranates (my next big gamble) so maybe.

9:38 pm

mymuseisme

add last 2 letters of lime disease insect to the et5/12 before it

9:38 pm

lgorms

et 7/36 - add 2 letters to one above, think frozen water minus the last vowel

9:38 pm

featherbee

start with the E on the right side, move left and down knitter

9:38 pm

Ping
