Hi FMitch. I know it's too hot for ironing but the pile to be done is teetering ceilingwards. I keep using the excuse of it being 'too hot' and still haven't done the holiday stuff yet, not to mention the things I've washed since we came home.

Paul - who is not at work, due to an infected sting in the foot from a scorpion fish, sustained on the last day of our hol., is doing the Mad Dogs & Englishmen thing; he has the laptop out in the sun.

Scorion fish sting - sounds nasty - hope he is back to full health soon

Morning everyone! I just entered 10 words to find out none of them took. Guess I should watch before I type more in.

Morning mm

6:59 am

musicmom

Morning fMitch. What a teeny tiny grid today

6:59 am

musicmom

That is probably good because I am having company tonight and tomorrow and shouldn't be sitting here playing all day.

6:59 am

FMitch

there are a few babblets and some twisty turny word but i'ts a good one not like some of the small ones we have had before

7:00 am

musicmom

Sounds good. I didn't get to babble at all yesterday so I am determined to enjoy "my" time today.

7:01 am

FMitch

Have fun and enjoy it mm

7:02 am

musicmom

thanks

faeriekae

Hi FMitch and Music!!!!

7:02 am

musicmom

Hi Faerie. Guess what - we decided how to do our bedroom

7:02 am

musicmom

We're going with a Japanese theme

7:03 am

faeriekae

NO way!!!!

7:03 am

faeriekae

That is just soooooo cool.

7:03 am

musicmom

Yep. I got an Asian fabric magazine from a friend yesterday. As I was looking through it last night we were talking about it.

7:03 am

Flask1

Hi all am back to try and finish!

7:03 am

faeriekae

Are you doing the black laquer and red with Gray walls

7:03 am

FMitch

Hi faerie, good to see you.

7:04 am

faeriekae

Hi Flask

7:04 am

musicmom

Probably won't be able to start for a few months but I'm even going to make a new quilt

7:04 am

musicmom

We're definitely doing the black laquer but we are thinking about deep plum for the walls. Haven't even looked at paint yet.

7:04 am

faeriekae

Hi FMitch

7:04 am

faeriekae

The plum would bed beautiful :)

7:05 am

Flask1

Hi Faerie!

7:05 am

faeriekae

Cute Icon Flask - it's flying :)

7:05 am

FMitch

Hi Flask

mm - that soulds like a wonderful pruject

7:06 am

musicmom

I also have a pattern for really cool fabric vases that we can use for loose change, hair brushes etc that I'm going to make

7:06 am

I also have a pattern for really cool fabric vases that we can use for loose change, hair brushes etc that I'm going to make.

7:07 am

musicmom

It was spooky this morning when I saw the theme for today was origami - after we had spent so long talking about Japan last night

7:07 am

FMitch

fabric vases? do tell

7:07 am

Flask1

It should be animated....but not working now!

7:07 am

faeriekae

Music - do you do the actual quilting yourself. I've made several quilts but I usually have someone else do the quilting for me. The last one I did I just tied off. It was denim and it was so heavy I could hardly lift it

7:07 am

musicmom

FMitch - they are in this magazine i got. You use a stabilizer on them and fold them (like origami) then do decorative stitching on the outside.

7:07 am

faeriekae

Flask it is animated. I clicked on. Just not here in babble

7:08 am

faeriekae

Music-my ex-mother-in-law does that and makes the neatest cards ever.

7:08 am

musicmom

Yes faerie, I typically do the hand quilting myself. However, I have a very good friend who is an amazing artist and does beautiful machine quilting. If I have something that we are going to have out all the time or that i want done quickly, I pay her to do it.

7:08 am

FMitch

wow mm, never come across that will have to try and find some info on the net

7:09 am

musicmom

She does custom design - not templates

7:09 am

musicmom

FMitch - the name of the magazine is Asian Fabrics it is put out by Kona Bay Fabrics company. Don't know if that will help or not.

7:10 am

FMitch

Flask, animated icons are usually suppressed for the chatlog as they can cuase problems

7:10 am

faeriekae

I have a guy friend he has a quilting machine that has done a few for me and he is really good. I pieced one toegether and he did the wedding ring for me it is beautiful

7:10 am

musicmom

Faerie - I have seen cards but have never done them. Also keepsake boxes.

7:10 am

FMitch

Thanks mm

7:10 am

faeriekae

WOW custom designs!!!! That's a talant

7:11 am

musicmom

That is cool Faerie. When I first started quilting, I was a handquilting snob. But I soon came to realize that if I wanted the majority of my projects finished I was going to have to have some of them machine quilted.

7:11 am

musicmom

She is amazing. She did one for me for my grandma at Christmas that I actually had a really hard time giving away.

7:12 am

faeriekae

LoL Music. Me too....I did five myself and after that I started letting Rick quilt them on his machine for me.

7:12 am

musicmom

Lori and I made the exact same quilt. Sent both of them to her to be quilted. When we got them back they looked completely different.

7:12 am

faeriekae

No kidding that is fantastic.

7:12 am

musicmom

I came to the realization that, had our fore mothers had the chance to get them done in a few hours instead of days, they would have done it.

7:12 am

faeriekae

Good grief it just started storming like mad here.

7:13 am

lizmac

7:13 am

7:26 am

GraceM

can't find my last 2 c words... I have three cu words...

7:27 am

musicmom

That's what I have grace. I have heard there is a ch word but haven't found it.

7:27 am

hillary

sorry to be so needy, musicmom -- where do I find the lists? I've actually finished now (the word I needed was past tense of fly, staring me in the face the whole time!) but I would like to know for the future.

7:28 am

Charm

later all. have fun babbling.

7:28 am

musicmom

No problem Hillary. Brandyjacks list is in the Babbler's Anonymous link down below. Lickety's is in the lickety link.

7:28 am

musicmom

Congrats on your finish Hillary

7:29 am

musicmom

Grace and PH -- ch word uses a high scoring tile and two vowels. I'm working on a better clue.

7:29 am

musicmom

It can be pluralized - does that help? Let me see if it has a definition.

7:30 am

musicmom

Here is the def. An Old World sedge (Cyperus esculentus var. sativus) having edible nutlike tubers.

7:30 am

hillary

Many thanks! feel like a real babbler now.

7:30 am

musicmom

Hillary for everything you ever wanted to know about babble go to Angelsong's link.

7:30 am

chyna

good day everyone!

7:30 am

Jacula

The ch words are a sedge with edible tubers. I did post its Latin name earlier. Another clue is that is sounds like what a small child might call a steam train. Hope that helps!

7:30 am

chyna

how many words for today?

7:30 am

musicmom

45 chyna

7:31 am

10:02 am

FMitch

Now gramma - that would be great, several years worth of archives, some of us may never be seen again!!!

10:03 am

gramma

FMitch, I hate it when the grid runs out and the laundry is still not done.

10:05 am

FMitch

Grids this short should be used as practice runs!

10:06 am

gramma

My computer is acting up. I think I might have scared it

10:26 am

stidmama

YAY SBrentnall!

10:27 am

stidmama

guessing since this is such a small grid that it's really tricky?

10:28 am

Vicuna

Actually, I found it very quick, though definitely the usual share of oddities.

10:28 am

tndaisy1960

you guess correctly Stid

10:28 am

stidmama

thank Vi -- quick would be nice. I want to get some actual work done today, too!

10:30 am

Vicuna

fe4/8 - pl of French for fire

10:31 am

Vicuna

or you can think of the fe5 as the past tense of whatever the fe4 is the present tense of!

10:33 am

stidmama

oh well, I guess we can't be glamorous all the time, Fiz! (she said, relishing the quiet without kids "having discussions" in the background)

10:34 am

WordsRock

Woot! Thanks for the great clues Vicuna. :)

10:34 am

Vicuna

You're welcome, Words!

10:34 am

10:36 am

featherbee

hey all! yeah, it's not too bad today...did about 30 words in 15 minutes stid. was an odd feeling to be so close to finished so early.

10:37 am

TheFiz

sorting laundry while typing, nut? impressive...

10:37 am

stidmama

hi feather! I have 17 left now and logged in about ten minutes ago...

10:39 am

evanonut

10:40 am

stidmama

yes, my kids were often fuzzy the day or two after immunizations.

10:40 am

stidmama

hi davurs

10:40 am

Vicuna

Hello, davurs.

And good-bye, all. Got to go perfect the housework I do so well. (Sarcasm sarcasm)

10:41 am

evanonut

bye vic

10:41 am

Vicuna

(There's a very high correlation between people who are playing Babble and people who are not doing housework!)

10:42 am

TheFiz

nut - you are truly a modern woman - multi-multi-tasking!

10:43 am

oggy

afternoon all, was the grid worth it today, not many words.

10:43 am

featherbee

well stid, for all of my competitiveness yesterday, i missed #1 in word builder by two points. Jeffrey used the word "zorilla." so i don't feel too bad, at least it wasn't something i should have known!

10:43 am

featherbee

it was grid-lite oggy

10:43 am

evanonut

i hate multi tasking though, why do i do it?

10:43 am

stidmama

hello oggy -- I got to 15 in 15 minutes, but stalled at the moment

10:43 am

TheFiz

i'm trying to spontaneously create a cat from cast-off hair - like a nebula where stars are born - it's very scientific. don't know about all of you lazy people!

10:44 am

stidmama

well, at least you enjoyed the chase. I'll go play the quote puzzler things later...

10:44 am

oggy

he started it this morning and has left me 8 to do

10:44 am

stidmama

LOL Fiz!

10:44 am

featherbee

lmao fiz! i have a pound or two of cat and dog hair i could donate to your project!

10:44 am

evanonut

fiz, my vacuum gives birth to a chincilla daily

10:44 am

featherbee

yeah, i'm saving them for this evening. since i don't have a grid to do anymore.

10:45 am

Vicuna

(Okay, I know I'm supposed to be gone, but Fiz I have to tell you my theory! I am convinced that our cat is trying to create fur golems. The fur gathers up in the corners and gets bigger and bigger, and if it ever gets as big as a cat, it will come to life, I just know it! Luckily I always catch them just in time!)

10:45 am

TheFiz

well, send it on - i think I need to create additional gravitational pressure to spark the chain reaction...

10:45 am

TheFiz

LOL vicuna!

10:45 am

evanonut

perhaps a flame fiz???

10:46 am

TheFiz

wood frame house - bad idea

10:46 am

featherbee

oh my, could you just imagine the smell of burning cat fur? ewwwwww

10:46 am

evanonut

vodka then...

10:46 am

davurs

You know, don't you vicuna, that you are the cat's personal servant, ordained by God to clean up behind her/him/it?

10:47 am

featherbee

heh, for her or the cat ball?

10:47 am

stidmama

okay, 13 to go and don't want to spend all day. Clue for the I word please?

10:47 am

evanonut

10:47 am

10:49 am

Vicuna

Davurs, it is my husband who is supposed to be the cat's personal servant! I am the personal servant of the children. :? (And in case anyone's wondering, I AM cleaning up. I'm just doing it in the vicinity of the computer...)

10:49 am

stidmama

YAY CadFan!

11:27 am

TheFiz

walnut - the smallest ever - just 45

11:28 am

walnutchen

thans Fiz! that means I have a chance to finish today!

11:28 am

Calqhoon

Thanks fiz btw, sorry had to take a phone call.

11:29 am

TheFiz

yw cal - i'm at work myself....

11:29 am

TheFiz

walnut -that's why it's so quiet - everyone's done already!

11:30 am

walnutchen

ah i c. are you done already fiz? just hanging around to char?

11:30 am

walnutchen

er, chat?

11:31 am

torgone

Let's char ..

11:31 am

walnutchen

sorry, thats what happens when you write code and play babble at the same time....

11:32 am

TheFiz

just here to char - catch! >-{{()>

11:32 am

Samy

wesnurse?

11:32 am

TheFiz

i'm running a bunch of spreadsheet reports - which just doesn't stimulate my creative juices - but must be done. if i disappear for a few minutes is because they need attention...

11:33 am

walnutchen

hehe. sounds like fun fiz!

11:35 am

TheFiz

scintillating, walnut. i run this training program and it's reports on who attended what course for various funders, interested parties, etc. of course, no one wants the same subset of data...

11:35 am

TheFiz

i'm doing a little origami, too...

11:36 am

torgone

Same kind of thing here, Fiz .. Converting drawings, gathering parts lists, blah blah blah ..

11:36 am

walnutchen

I used to do oragami. twas popular when I was growing up cuz we were pretty poor.

11:37 am

TheFiz

gotta be done, though. *lightbulb* maybe my babblemonkey can come and help.

11:37 am

walnutchen

Fiz: do you work for yourself? I've never worked for myself.. always working for companies, doing software engineering. nothing exciting.

11:38 am

walnutchen

torgone: do you work at a mechanics shop or something?

11:38 am

TheFiz

no such luck walnut - i only work for myself in the sense that i'm the only staff person on a program that is totally a tack-on, so no one else here understands it or cares...

11:39 am

Calqhoon

anyone got a clue for SA5/16 please?

11:39 am

walnutchen

ah, i c. fiz - u r the most valueable employee! sounds like good job security to me... (unless, we play too much babble?)

11:40 am

Calqhoon

Fiz and Walnut; I have an interview to become an IT apprentice this friday. Any tips?

11:40 am

TheFiz

cal - s+ abbrev. for austria + two 2-pt consonants

11:41 am

torgone

I write manuals for a company that makes recycling machinery ..

11:41 am

Cathyar

hi all

11:41 am

walnutchen

cool calqhoon! thats sounds like fun!

11:41 am

walnutchen

I'd be pretty nervous... I dunno - they always say, be yourself?

11:41 am

Calqhoon

thanks again Fiz. Would be fireworks but I'm not subscribed :D

11:41 am

TheFiz

lol walnut - i'm in the nonprofit world, so such things as corporate efficiency are under-prized. as i'm a relatively efficient human, and get done what I need to get done, no one cares whether it takes me 20 hrs or 50 hrs...

11:42 am

walnutchen

but that is so cliche!

11:42 am

TheFiz

*~*~*~**~FIREWORKS~*~*~*~*~*~* for cal!

11:42 am

Flask1

Hi Cathy!!!

11:42 am

TheFiz

hi cathy

11:43 am

Calqhoon

I hope so Walnut, i actually had to talk my way onto the course 'cos they told me the course was closed to anyone over 19. I'm only 22 for goodness sake. It's the only way I can see of braking into the industry.

11:43 am

Calqhoon

haha, thanks fiz ;)

11:43 am

TheFiz

walnut - don't they say that stereotypes are based in truth?

11:43 am

Cathyar

aww...your origami isn't flapping it's wings today flask! (i didn't take the time to find an animated one today)

11:44 am

walnutchen

fiz: hehehe. that must be nice. Better than having to work 60 hrs a week in the silicon alley... Yeah, stereotypes are based on truth, but not only that, i feel that your stereotypes are also ingrained in you

11:44 am

Flask1

I know...:(....am soooo disappointed!

11:44 am

walnutchen

no matter how much you watch yourself or try to change your thinking, its always a part of you! darn!

11:44 am

walnutchen

hi cathy.

11:45 am

Cathyar

hi :)

11:45 am

Flask1

a clue please for he5/18 please?

11:45 am

TheFiz

cal - how odd! you seem charming enough, though - i just like to smile, let them know why i'm a good investment, and - if i'm not technically qualified - convince them to give me a shot....

11:46 am

Cathyar

he rhymes with a horse's whinny

11:46 am

EvaNadine

afternoon babblers!

11:46 am

Lara226

11:46 am

TheFiz

11:47 am

TheFiz

*short circuit in brain* evanadine, evanonut has your same icon today! eva-overload!

11:47 am

11:49 am

walnutchen

gobbledgook? hmm. thanks. u r so kind! anyways. I have to go into work now for a meeting... be back on later. sorry! ttyl!

11:49 am

TheFiz

evanonut has a different zoom of the same sculpture - just head and arching arm - weird.

11:49 am

EvaNadine

ahh yes, i did see that...heh

11:49 am

TheFiz

bye walnut - didn't mean to insult you! it's as much of a reflection on me!

11:49 am

Ping

EvaNadine

11:57 am

lenalu01

fe 5's....one is a game you play with your dog....the other is fe+2 vowels+d

12:30 pm

Jacula

Not that we always stick to the theme. LOL.

12:32 pm

FMitch

On the broader level is is an agreed theme each day for people who want to change their icons. You can suggest themes and it is up to the individual if they want to join in or not.

12:33 pm

Sam

how do i fold my icon into a crane?

12:33 pm

FMitch

BTW Afternoon just popped back to the grid for 5 mins.

12:49 pm

ShadeEagle

12:50 pm

used to exfolliate (sponge)

2:21 pm

magzel

fe 5/16 rhymes withle 5/10

2:22 pm

esquian

back to the fe clue - with a different ending. It's not fe***ible to not save in your 401(K); add a past tense ending

2:23 pm

Praes

Got that one Thanks!. I dunno 'bout sponge though

2:23 pm

crusty2

coarse sponge is really like a big fibrous cucumber that's been dried out - used for bathtub scrubby things

2:23 pm

esquian

lol.... just realized you're a male

2:23 pm

esquian

women use this type of sponge in the shower

2:24 pm

crusty2

hey, I'm not a woman!

2:24 pm

esquian

lol, crusty. didn't mean to offend. Others got that clue right off, though. So I was wondering why Praes didn't.

2:24 pm

crusty2

hint, the sponge thing has an "f" in it

2:25 pm

crusty2

just playing, not offended :-)

2:25 pm

Deeha

Finally worked out the coarse sponge clue - dont believe there ISA such a word!!!Sounds more like a rude insult to me- you ch....!!!

2:26 pm

esquian

ok...the karate guy who is now into fitness (***ck taylor) + fa at the end. sorry....don't know a better clue.

2:26 pm

esquian

lol, deeha!

2:26 pm

esquian

woops....not taylor, norris

2:26 pm

Praes

WOOHOO i found it. i monkeyed it...NOW fe 4/8 (something says i'm getting the fish for this one again) and the fu 5/22

2:27 pm

crusty2

fe 4/8 is an anagram for the thing you light a bomb with

2:27 pm

Praes

SWEET, thanks crusty

2:28 pm

crusty2

fu 5/22 is like latin for fig tree

2:28 pm

esquian

no, probably not. fu rhymes with what comes out of your kids' mouth and nose at birth or during a cold

2:43 pm

stidmama

hi all!

2:43 pm

stidmama

leigh! Once upon a time, in a small village on the leeward side of a really tall mountain, there was a comfortable middle-aged woman with twelve kids who lived next door to her parents across from the park.

2:44 pm

EasternBlue

*settles in to listen to the rest of stidmama's story*

2:45 pm

Praes

**runs to get the popcorn**

2:45 pm

stidmama

Her husband had gone abroad to seek his fortune, soon after the last child was born, saying he would return with wealth and comfort for his family as soon as he could. That was ten years ago.

2:46 pm

EasternBlue

mama -did the kids get to play in the park???

2:46 pm

featherbee

oooh story time! *sits down criss cross applesauce*

2:46 pm

stidmama

And in those years, his eldest son and two eldest daughters had finished school, married well and moved away. But they always sent money home for their mother, saying: all these years she cared for us, now it is our turn to care for her.

2:46 pm

stidmama

But their father received nothing because he was gone.

2:47 pm

EasternBlue

(ooo!! what good children!!)

2:48 pm

stidmama

The next two children were twin boys: fine strapping lads, with winning ways and easy smiles. They both worked down at the market, carrying, lifting and otherwise making themselves very useful. They did not live at home anymore, but they came home every Sunday for dinner and worked around the yard fixing things for their mother and brother and sisters.

2:48 pm

featherbee

*wiggles a little, waiting for more*

2:48 pm

stidmama

But their father did not get any help, because he was gone.

Then came three girls, all in a row. One was tall and willowy with brown hair and blue eyes, one was comfortable looking with dark blonde hair and green eyes, and the third was going through an awkward stage and hated her red hair and brown eyes.

2:51 pm

2:53 pm

stidmama

All three girls walked to school in the morning on weekdays, ate lunch with their friends, and strolled home in the afternoons, stopping by the market to see their brothers and get groceries for their mother.

2:53 pm

stidmama

One girl had a lovely singing voice. One girl was skilled at art. One girl had a way with words that could charm even the most cantankerous old fuddy-duddy.

2:54 pm

stidmama

But their father didn't know these things about them, because he had been gone for so long.

2:54 pm

leighprefect

2:56 pm

stidmama

The youngest boy was clever and funny, and looked up to his brothers and appreciated his sisters who often cared for him while their mother was out. He liked to build things, and had made his mother shelves and chairs and a footstool to keep her feet off the cold floor in the winter.

2:56 pm

leighprefect

Oh....AvA song... bbiam. Keep the story going though!

2:56 pm

Gadget

TY!

2:56 pm

stidmama

But he had never been fishing with his father.

2:57 pm

stidmama

The youngest child, a bright child, full of sunlight and laughter and the understanding of the world around her was blind. Blind in her eyes, but not in her heart. And in this child dwelled wisdom and love for everyone who stopped to visit.

2:58 pm

featherbee

*whispers* (look at how all the extra side chatter has stopped, while we listen to the story!)

2:58 pm

stidmama

But her father did not know these things, because he was gone.

One bright spring day, when the flowers were perfuming the air, and the birds were composing a symphony in the back yard, the youngest girl and the youngest boy went for a walk around the neighborhood.

3:00 pm

EasternBlue

*hands leigh her teddy bear*

3:01 pm

stidmama

Every so often, the boy would guide his sisters hands to the trunk of a tree so she could feel its texture; or pick a bloom for her to smell. She was developing a lovely bouquet when she stopped still, a strange expression on her face.

3:02 pm

EasternBlue

oh no!!

3:02 pm

jillibus

3:02 pm

Afternoon everyone - Smallest puzzle I've ever seen!

The boy looked quizzically at her, and squeezed her hand slightly by way of a question.

3:03 pm

EasternBlue

*whispers* hi pup...stidmama's tellin' a story!!

3:03 pm

stidmama

She turned to him and said, "There is a strange smell in the air. Not quite like smoke, not exactly like dinner cooking, not unpleasant, but very strange..."

3:04 pm

stidmama

Her brother turned to her and sniffed experimentally at the air -- "Sister, I do not smell anything different, but perhaps your nose is smarter than mine. Shall we go on or go home?"

3:04 pm

stidmama

hi Jill and pup

3:04 pm

Deeha

the suspense is killing me

3:04 pm

jillibus

oh, go on!!!

3:05 pm

stidmama

"Home, I think," she replied. So they turned around and started walking up the little hill that led home.

3:06 pm

As they turned the corner onto the lane on which they lived, they noticed a cart in front of their house. It was a poor cart, with two wheels that looked as though they had rolled over every pebble and hole between the mountain and the sea. In front of the cart stood a tiny donkey with a drooping head and tired expression. It looked like it was ready for a nap.

3:07 pm

jillibus

thx, eva *grabs handful*

3:08 pm

featherbee

ohhhh, is it who i think it is with the cart?

3:08 pm

stidmama

The girl exclaimed, "This is where the smell is coming from!" and her brother put his hands up to his face and said, "It sure is!"

3:08 pm

dl88

thanx evanonut, great stuff

3:09 pm

evanonut

3:09 pm

stidmama

The front door to their home stood open, as it always did, welcoming family and friends, neighbors and strangers, to stop by and visit.

3:10 pm

stidmama

The brother let go of his sister's hand and she grasped the bannister to go up the steps. From inside, came the sound of sobbing -- and their twin brothers' voices speaking urgently.

3:10 pm

jillibus

*gasp!*

3:12 pm

stidmama

"Mother -- we really want to do this! Father has been gone so long, and you have shouldered all the work for all these years. Why shouldn't we go out and try to find a better life and be able to let you live in style."

3:12 pm

The two children stood uncertainly in the doorway, unnoticed by the older family members.

The woman sat miserably by the cold fireplace, staring into the ashes under the kettle. She hunched her shoulders, as if to ward off a cold breeze, and shifted in the chair.
