12:36 am
helenkeller
i'm telling you - go to iwin.com & play the tangleword game - once you get the hang of it, you can put in as many words as you can type or mouse - comes in really handy on the large grids when you just want to get alot out of the way - oh & also you can be amazed at the people there who are way, way, way faster than me - i am nowhere near the top scorers :)
12:36 am
Kahlua
Glad you had a good day, I'm jelous

i have no patience for the 6- i love the 30 sec- but that's just like slot machines - all your points are gone before you know what hit you, if there are good players in the room & that's usually what you find there
12:39 am
LeslieAnn

12:39 am

A few months ago, they had a one-week crash. Something went wrong, they never gave us the promised re-design and everybody was sent back to where they were two years earlier. Ratings-wise, that is.

odd grid behavior: I enter a word, it tells me I've already entered it. But I haven't. This has happened with four words in the last five minutes, but not with every word. Known bug? Any solution?

A funny astory about the as6/21. (OK, maybe not THAT funny) - when my daughter was 3, she said something in the car, and we said she's very as6/21. She piped up "No flies come off me!"
2:33 am
Haz1558
Clever child!
2:36 am
aleksia.
Can someone please help me with the L workds at the botton?
2:37 am
mattygroves
So what's the last six - I have that one, the female bow, the rubbish, the honesty and the lack of sex...
2:37 am
Haz1558
aleksia, one in ly5/18 - it means an unauthorised hanging and rhymes with a unit of imperial measurement (12 of them in a foot)
2:37 am
Haz1558
The other one is ly5/14 - add a word used for creative drawing, sculpture, painting etc
2:38 am
aleksia.

2:38 am
FMitch

Flask1
Where in Canada are you Jilli?
2:56 am
jillibus
Hi Haz - it's hard to stay away, right? And what shall I do tomorrow? Catch up on Stid's story, I think, and visit here a bit, and see Cybernan's photos, and get some gas (petrol) for the car which is almost empty...and so on
2:57 am
jillibus
Flask, I'm in British Columbia, west coast
2:57 am
Haz1558
It sounds as though you can fill your days with no difficulty, jillibus. And Good morning Flask.

3:47 am
hydra
ru5/16 is adjective from previous word. How stags might feel in autumn.
3:48 am
FMitch
apply the same principle for the pe5/16
3:48 am
hydra
pe5/16 - think minor misdemeanours. ----- crimes.
3:49 am
girlfriday
thans hydra and Fmitch...down to one and then I can go to sleep...le 5/14 cannot find it.
3:50 am
FMitch

FMitch
Morning sherb
It is a good grid today, are you settling into you holiday routine?
4:35 am
sherb
morning FMitch :) ...holiday routine seems to consist of doing as little as possible... bliss...
4:35 am
FMitch
sounds perfect sherb, enjoy it and the lovely weather today too.
4:37 am
sherb
the weather makes me wish I had a garden to sit outside in... been daydreaming that my neighbours in the garden flat might move...
4:40 am
FMitch
A nice dream if you enjoy pootling about in a garden. When I had houses with gardens I never had time to enjoy them, now I have the time and no garden!
4:43 am
sherb
it would have to be low maintenance for me... I'm no gardener...
4:50 am
KittyVane
With 17 words left, it's time for me to go off to work.
Later everybody! :)
4:51 am

5:05 am
FranMag
hi sherb!
5:06 am
pam
This is not a "fun" grtid: it's work, lol--been on for almost 20 minutes and don't have a great deal to show for it, oh well...
5:06 am
sherb
it's very short on vowels...
5:07 am
Jacula
Morning everyone.
5:07 am
sherb
morning Jacula :)
5:11 am
Haz1558
Can't resist piping in to say good morning. I should be down town shopping already, but I can spare a minute to say hello!
5:12 am
pam
And, bye all! Time to go. See you tonight
5:12 am
Haz1558
It's not the most welcoming grid in the world, but the chat log's nice!
5:13 am
sherb
morning Haz :) ...these little ones are fun...
bye pam :)
5:14 am
Jacula
brb - phone
5:14 am
Haz1558
I happened to be on the chat log late last night (well, up to midnight our time). It moves really fast! I was quite dizzy by the end of it.
5:14 am
sherb
purchase would be a good word...
5:15 am
FranMag
lol haz! i can barely keep up when it's like that either!
5:16 am
sherb
then it suddenly quietens down, like everyone's exhausted...
5:16 am
Haz1558
It reminded me of the old style stock exchange!
5:17 am
sherb
open outcry!
5:17 am
Jacula
I'm back. Hi Haz. Yes, the chatlog does fairly zip along at night.
5:17 am
Haz1558
Have any of you played 'Pit'? It's great fun, but not to be played for hours at a time.
5:17 am
Jacula
What's 'Pit', Haz?
5:18 am
philod14
Haz... link??
5:19 am
Haz1558
It's a card game, based on the idea of swapping cards to get the hand you want. You try to exchange them with the other players, but you have to shout out what you are looking for. I'll see if I can find a link.
5:20 am
Haz1558
www.gamesmuseum.uwaterloo.ca/VirtualEx
hibits/CardGames/Pit/index.html - 8k - It was made by Waddington
5:22 am
Haz1558
I think in the US it was called Bulls and Bears. (I've managed to stop the conversation stone dead, haven't I?)
5:23 am
Jacula
Sorry Haz - I was typing the missing bits of link in. Only got 404 error messages for it so far...
5:24 am
sherb
I'm just stuck on the C's...
5:24 am
Haz1558
Sorry - I googled waddington pit and that was one of the links.
5:24 am
Jacula
Got it. Stop the link after Pit/ and it works.
5:25 am
FranMag
haz, looks like fun
5:25 am
Jacula
I've bookmarked it to check out later. Thanks, Haz.
5:25 am
FranMag
sherb, i've got all of them if you'd like a clue.
5:26 am
Haz1558
It is - I used to play it with my cousins and it got extremely noisy. It was even worse when the grown-ups joined in!
5:26 am
FranMag
what ages is it meant for?
5:26 am
Jacula
We used to play lots of card and board games, and have singsongs. People don't seem to do that so much these days.
5:27 am
Haz1558
I think it's probably described as a family game. Very young children probably wouldn't be able to understand it but from 10 upwards would be okay.
5:27 am
sherb
thanks Fran... just trying to see how many I can get on my own... I only do that with these small grids... otherwise I take any help I can get!! :)
5:28 am
FranMag
totally understand sherb.
5:29 am
Haz1558
I've been banned from playing some games with my family - they say I'm too competitive. Just because I try to win......
5:30 am
Haz1558
This isn't getting my shopping done, so I must go. Have a good day and see you later.
5:31 am
FranMag
later haz!
5:31 am
sherb
later Haz... I'l probably still be here looking for my last 16 words... :)
5:31 am
Jacula
Haz - You'd love the board game 'Spinergy'. (Spinergy gives everyone a chance to be a writer, actor, singer, poet, date magnet and stand-up comic. Given three random words, describe how your life was saved by a platoon of Marines...compose a shocking tabloid headline...deliver the ultimate pickup line... create the next blockbuster movie! Haiku, riddles, jokes, tongues twisters, songs, foreign accents, and much, much more! It's different every time you play!) I just have trouble getting people to play it with me.
5:31 am
Jacula
'Bye Haz. (Hope you saw my last post.)
5:32 am
Jacula
Sherb - I've still got 27 to find.
5:32 am
FranMag
i have 3 left.
5:34 am
sherb
sounds good Jac... my sister and my nieces love games like that... did you buy it in the UK?
5:35 am
Jacula
Yes, Sherb. Got it from Toys'R'Us.
5:35 am
Jacula
It's made by GNU Games.
5:36 am
FranMag
jac, sounds like something my college friends and i would have liked.
5:36 am
FranMag
unfortunately, i don't live near them anymore, no one to play games with.
5:37 am
Jacula
I've just checked and it's available on Amazon.co.uk for £29.99.
5:38 am
sherb
thanks Jac... just the excuse I need to put in an Amazon order... :)
5:38 am
Jacula
LOL, Sherb.
5:39 am
Jacula
(((HUGS)) FranMag. *thinking* I wonder if it's possible to adapt this game to play in BabAnon or somewhere?
5:41 am
FranMag
with all the literary types in babble that would sure be interesting!
5:42 am
FranMag
how about if you start a thread with the three random words, then give everyone a time limit to post their scenario? it would be hard to determine a winner, but it would just be for fun.
5:42 am
Jacula
Yes, it would! I'll have to have another look at the game and see if I can adapt it. Which reminds me... I never put my crossword story game on BabAnon. *Adds to list of things to do after typing up her Crete travelog.*
5:43 am
Jacula
Sounds feasible, FranMag.
5:43 am
FranMag
you'd have to give everyone several hours because of all the time zone differences, but it might be fun to see what people come up with.
5:44 am
FranMag
you'd probably have to pick the "personality" yourself.
5:44 am
philod14
cu6/30 please?
5:44 am
Jacula
Yes, I think it would. Same with the 'Crossword Story' game. I invented it for another forum and we had a wonderful variety of stories, and laughs.
5:44 am
FranMag
philod, what you have to do in front of the queen (if you're female)
5:45 am
Jacula
philod - gather up your skirts and dip your knee.
5:46 am
FranMag
your first post could be an explanation of the game, a list of rules and the time that the 3 random words and personality would be posted.
5:46 am
philod14
thanks Fran and JAc..
5:47 am
FranMag
yw philod!
5:47 am
Jacula
FranMag - You're going to be buying the board game, I just know it!:))
5:48 am
Jacula
y/w, philod.
5:48 am
FranMag
of course with this group, a limit on the number of words is in order also.
5:49 am
FranMag
it does sound like fun jac! i seriously don't have anyone to play it with though!
5:49 am
Jacula
FranMag - there is a limit in the game anyway (on the words).
5:49 am
Jacula
FranMag - I meant so you can do it on BabAnon. LOL.
5:50 am
Jacula
I'll have to send you a copy of the game stuff.
5:51 am
FranMag
jac, if i did it i think my husband would have a fit! he thinks i'm on this thing too much already.
5:51 am
Jacula
I won't have chance to deal with it today as I have hutches to muck out and my travelog to start typing. The travelog's not finished yet but I need to type up what's done so far, the easier to see what still needs doing. I shall also (unusually) be watching a couple of programmes on TV tonight - 'Sorted' and 'Grumpy Old Holidays'.
5:52 am
Jacula
FranMag - my Other Half thinks the same as yours!
5:52 am
philod14
et5/16 please?
5:52 am
FranMag
well you know men, they want all the attention!
5:53 am
Jacula
Fran - Yup!
5:53 am
Jacula
philod - don't have it yet. Sorry.
5:53 am
FranMag
philod, a type of alcohol, sounds like a woman's name
5:53 am
Eva
good morning everyone
5:54 am
Jacula
Hi Eva & Merp.
5:54 am
sherb
morning Eva :)
5:54 am
Jacula
Got the et5 now. Thanks FranMag.
5:55 am
Eva
phantom word for the day-lettuce
5:56 am
Jacula
LOL Eva. I have a phantom phrase. First thing I saw when I got the grid up was, 'Let me buy stuff'.
5:56 am
philod14
phantom word.. thrasher..
5:57 am
philod14
still stumped on the et5..
5:57 am
Eva
are you one of those "when the going gets tough the tough go shopping" people, Jac?
5:57 am
Jacula
Just realised I used a word in my 5:51 list of what I'm going to do today.:)
5:57 am
Jacula
Eva - No. I just saw it there. (Must have been thinking of my daughter!) LOL
5:58 am
FranMag
oh yes, you did! *looking for wet noodle*
5:58 am
Jacula
philod - for the et5 - How's your knowledge of old UK kings? There was one called Et****** The Unready.
5:59 am
Eva
newly coined word-lepur-a lemur with a skin condition
5:59 am
Jacula
Oh no, FranMag! Not the dreaded Pot Noodle! Nooooooo!
5:59 am
Jacula
Eva - LOL.
5:59 am
philod14
im irish so not great..
6:00 am
Jacula
Philod - How about the old singer then - Et*** Merman?
6:00 am
FranMag
i like that eva! i tried the word earlier too!
6:00 am
Eva
phil-lucy's neighbor on the Lucy show, but change the second vowel
6:00 am
Jacula
The spelling is slightly different but you will get the et word from it.
6:01 am
FranMag
eva and jac, i couldn't think of a single et*** except my mom's friend when i was growing up! i doubt philod knew her though.
6:01 am
Jacula
Merp! Stop typing in Eva's message box.
6:01 am
Eva
as you can see I'm tracking the elusive second top l....
6:01 am
Jacula
Fran - I doubt he knew my ex's Gran either.
6:02 am
Eva
one of those names which has gone out of fashion
6:02 am
Jacula
Eva - 2nd top 'l' - a compound word. It's rained all day with no le***.
6:03 am
Eva
thanks! Never would have thought that was a proper word.
6:03 am
Jacula
Ev - me neither.
6:03 am
FranMag
1 word left!

6:06 am
Jacula
I haven't done all the 's's' yet (2 to go). I do have an st5/12 that is the sort of proud walk a cockerel does or a piece of wood that helps hold something up.
6:07 am
Jacula
Well done, philod.

Hello Jac - FM - Eva - Cliff. - Philod (and anyone else I can't see)
6:10 am
cliffopa
yes indeed franmag - this is what i consider 'perfect' weather. i'm hoping it lasts for a while.
6:11 am
FranMag
how dumb is it that i had the last st5/12 which i've never heard before, but needed a clue for the first one?
6:11 am
FMitch
Thats babble for you Fran :)
6:11 am
Jacula
Because, FranMag, Babble accustoms us to looking for weird words, not easy ones.
6:12 am
FranMag
i guess so!
6:12 am
Jacula
If the word 'simple' was in the grid, it'd be the last one most of us found! LOL.
6:12 am
FranMag
lol, probably true jac!
6:13 am
FranMag
there are at least two babblers in the grid today.
6:14 am
Jacula
Yep - Hetty and ??
6:14 am
FranMag
ru4/6y, our welsh friend.

FMitch
Ah story of my life Fran :)
6:17 am
Jencatd

6:17 am

6:19 am

6:21 am
Jacula
LOL, sandr.
6:21 am
FranMag
cute sandr!! :-)
6:21 am
Jacula
Could have been worse, FranMag; could have been an ebay addiction.
6:22 am
FranMag
no kidding, i almost got sucked in to that too!
6:23 am
Jacula
Oh dear! Seriously, FranMag? I guess it's far too easy to click away on the Internet, forgetting you really DO have to pay for the things you order.
6:23 am
philod14
st5/14 please?
6:24 am
Jencatd
you don't need to memorise the number for amazon, amazon stores it.

i'm having trouble finding the 't' that comes off the bottom left hand corner. any hints?
6:28 am
FranMag
jac, or what you have to do to get into lower cupboards.
6:28 am
Jacula
Got it. Thanks again, FranMag.
6:28 am
FranMag
cliffopa, drive-th** at mcdonald's
6:28 am
sandr
tell the t**** and shame the devil cliffopa
6:29 am
FranMag
sandr, that's the middle T.
6:29 am
cliffopa
well franmag - that was a bit too obvious! how the heck did i not see that?
6:29 am
FMitch
The t in the bottom corner is a th4/6 and is a short form of a word - use the tile count to help you
6:30 am
FranMag
cliff, you probably looked past the H trying to make a TR word like i was doing at first.
6:31 am
cliffopa
that is exactly what i was doing.
6:31 am
Jacula
It's the bottom r/h 't' that's giving me trouble. I've got the 'rubbishy' words (2) and the 'thing you carry stuff on (2). The final 2 are eluding me.
6:31 am
Jacula
Sorry - final 1.
6:31 am
FranMag
jac, it's a ty word, what you give the church.
6:32 am
FranMag

6:32 am
Jacula
Got it! Why didn't I see that? Thanks yet again, FranMag. I was too busy wondering why 'lych' as in church lych gate isn't allowed.
6:33 am
FranMag
i tried to put in lythe a couple of times, doesn't it look like it should be a word?
6:34 am
philod14
ty5?? dont get the want you give in church clue..
6:34 am
Jacula
There is an 'ly' word that works - surname of Coronation St's barmaid 'Bet', jazzman Kenny or 'hang'.
6:35 am
FranMag
philod, it's a custom of giving 10% of your earnings to your church, usually spelled with ti, ty5/16.
6:36 am
Jacula
Actually, Kenny was better known for his comedy.
6:36 am
FranMag
don't know what the ly5/14 means though
6:38 am
FranMag
okay, going to bed now! i'll see all you lovely people later or tomorrow!!

This film is number 50 on Bravo's 100 Funniest Movies. It is consistently placed in the Internet Movie Database's Top 250 list of films, with over 65,000 votes.
11:33 am

It's one of those movies that appeals to everyone. My husband watched it for the first time when he bought me the dvd for xmas..the title always put him off, but he loved it.
11:33 am
smithchick
Okay, I was going to quietly lurk and find my one last word and I looked at your Bugzy icon. ROFL!

"see???? the cliffs of insanity!!!"
"hurry up...move the thing.....and....that other thing! move it!"
11:35 am
featherbee
while searching for my icon, i ran across some cute fansites. there was a list of goofs in one, and it said if you run the rolling down the hillside scene slowly, buttercup has a beard.
11:35 am
Krista
Swordfight coming up soon, then!
11:36 am
featherbee
yep! i was in colorguard, my friend and i twirled sabers, and often tried to reenact it
11:36 am
Krista
Oh, I love reading those kind of things. May I have a link if you remember it? Buttercup with a beard? Bad stuntman placement, I'd say. That's great.
11:37 am
featherbee
never saw a pic of it, just ran across it mentioned in a goofs listing
11:37 am
featherbee
try to google princess bride goofs
11:37 am

smithchick
It was inconceivable that I use anything else!
11:39 am
Krista
ok, feather..sorry, kid I work with was waffling on about concert tickets...
11:39 am
featherbee
# Cary Elwes and Mandy Patinkin learned to fence (both left- and right-handed) for the film, reportedly spending all their free time during the production practicing with an instructor and with each other. Elwes and Patinkin performed all of the fencing in the swordfight scene; the only stunt doubles were for the two somersaults.
11:39 am
smithchick
And now I have my fireworks! Any my dirty house is calling. Rather loudly. Dang house. Bye!
11:39 am

Jeeves and Wooster - there are four seasons on video, approx. 20 hours, but each season is available separately. The catalogue is Video Collectables, P.O.Box 420, Stn A, Richmond Hill, ON L4C 4Y6, Canada. It's all British classics - yummy!

Ok Fran..see you in a bit. Ty for the theme info.
6:15 pm

Do you like PB, Matt? I think the title of the movie scared off a lot of males. It's a shame.
6:17 pm
Douglas
An unspeakably hilarious movie, careening between drama, action and silliness!
6:18 pm
Krista
Yep, something for everyone, I say.
6:19 pm
Douglas
An organic radical derived from an aromatic compound by the removal of one hydrogen atom...I have this picture of an angry man in a beard, t-shirt, beads, patchouli incense, and Birkenstocks demanding lettuce grown without violence...
6:19 pm
Krista
I was telling Hurshy earlier that it took some convincing to get hubby to watch it, but he loved it. Now we can quote Mantoya together when Mandy Patinkin does his commercial!

Yes, I like PB, it is a good one.
6:21 pm

I must confess I never saw the movie, now, I must!

It's when I saw the phrase "organic radical," that the picture came into view in my mind's eye...
6:26 pm
stidmatt
Hi mama!
6:26 pm
Krista
Hello Mama, our personal raconteur (raconteuse?)
6:26 pm
Anniebrook
hi stid
6:27 pm
stidmama
I finished earlier, I was just stopping in to see how things were going -- am I needed for clues, or have you-all already finished?
6:27 pm
Krista
I know a lot of those organic radicals. I loved the imagery, Douglas! Very funny.
6:28 pm
Douglas
I Babbled with my children on Saturday afternoon...we got about 70 words, or about half the words...I just didn't chat...
6:29 pm
Ciboulette
ty5,16 anyone?
6:29 pm
stidmama
well that was pretty good, Douglas! I was surprised how hard the last few grids have been. They weren't large, but they were time-consuming.
6:30 pm
Krista
Still plugging away, Stid, thanks.
6:30 pm
stidmama
Ciboulette: "the ty" you want is an alternate spelling for an expected gift to your church, the words in quotes are a clue.
6:30 pm
stidmatt
ty please!
6:31 pm
chj
ty + most commom word in *** english language
6:31 pm
stidmatt
Sorry, didn't see that.
6:31 pm
stidmama
okay, I am going to see if the paints and fabrics that arrived today are what I expected... back later!
6:32 pm
Douglas
sneaky variant spelling...
6:32 pm
Ciboulette
thanks, never seen that spelling...
6:32 pm
Krista
oh, sounds like fun! Art goodies!
6:34 pm
Douglas
One word got me thinking about Noodles Romanov...I think I'm hungry...
6:35 pm
Krista
is that anything like stroganoff?
6:36 pm
Douglas
If it isn't, it should be!
6:37 pm
Douglas
There are noble ideas right in the middle of the puzzle!
6:37 pm
Krista
the ts word..any others?
6:38 pm
Douglas
I was walking down the street when I thought I heard this voice say...
6:38 pm
Douglas
Say, ain't we walking down this very street together on the very same day!
6:39 pm
Douglas
I said "Hey, senorita, that's ****** I said...."
6:39 pm
Krista
Just monkeyed the "organic radical" word!
6:39 pm
Douglas
"Why don't we get together and call ourselves and institute?"
6:41 pm
Krista
Your clue leaves me clueless.
6:41 pm
Krista
(another good movie)
6:41 pm
Douglas
You haven't heard the song "Gumboots" by Paul Simon? Your education is incomplete!
6:42 pm
FranMag

6:42 pm
FranMag

6:42 pm
Daisy Eric

6:42 pm
Daisy Eric
*confused*
6:42 pm
Daisy Eric
(oh it's me btw, Babbler) : )
6:42 pm
Krista
They do read like Paul Simon lyrics, now that I look at it!...Yes, Daisy. It didn't help me find the word, though!
6:43 pm
Daisy Eric
oh, just got the organic radical. : /
6:43 pm
Krista
Douglas was offering a clue using a Paul Simon song I don't know.
6:43 pm
FranMag
yes douglas, i was thinking they were paul simon lyrics myself.
6:43 pm
Ciboulette
thank god for googling lyrics :P
6:44 pm
Daisy Eric
yeah, I don't think I know that song either, Krista.
6:44 pm
Daisy Eric
oh, Krista, btw, when I log back in as Babbler, add me as a friend, then you'll have the theme list handy. : )
6:44 pm
Daisy Eric
(saw your post earlier)
6:44 pm
Douglas
It was off the Graceland album, my (and many other's) favorite Paul Simon album
6:44 pm
FranMag
oh hi babbler aka daisy eric!
6:45 pm
Krista
A man walks down the street...maybe it's a street in the third world..maybe it's his first time around...Yes, I shall, thanks. I remember reading that you go by two names. :)
6:45 pm
FranMag
doesn't speak the language, holds no currency
6:45 pm
Krista
You can call me Krista, or you can call me Al. But that would be weird.
6:46 pm
Daisy Eric
I like Diamonds in the soles of her shoes off that album. (was it that album??)
6:46 pm
Daisy Eric
Hi Fran! : )
6:47 pm
SeaDove

6:47 pm
Douglas
Indeed yes!
6:47 pm
FranMag
seadove, as6/21, means insightful
6:47 pm
Daisy Eric
I must listen to that album again. I was thinking about it the other day. He was interviewed on tv recently (Paul Simon).

6:55 pm
featherbee

6:55 pm
Krista
Yeah, don't wanna be blocked. Then I'd have to do something constructive with my free time. :(
6:55 pm
Babbler

stidmama
I would never call you a troll.... LOL!
6:55 pm
Babbler

6:55 pm
Douglas
I'm over half the words, so I'm going to declare victory and withdraw...I'm going to a Bible study at Solomon's Porch, where Jesus is saving Gen Y'ers...
6:55 pm
Babbler

6:55 pm
stidmama

6:57 pm
Krista

6:57 pm
Babbler

6:57 pm
Krista
ty, Babbler..
6:57 pm
FranMag
oh yeah, the vacation day.
6:58 pm
FranMag
you can move it up babbler, i think everyone reconfirms the theme each day anyway.
6:58 pm
featherbee
aww, blue for blue's birthday!
6:59 pm
featherbee
oh, i know what i'll do for that one!!!
6:59 pm
Krista

6:59 pm
featherbee

7:00 pm
FranMag
in fact i just realized the pick a word from the grid was added and replaced something else.
7:00 pm
Krista
what, Feather, show your toe?
7:00 pm
Babbler
Fran - yes, I've scheduled 'pick a word' for every Friday. has it clashed with something?
7:01 pm
FranMag
oh no babbler, that
7:01 pm
featherbee
no, do blue from blue's clues!
7:01 pm
FranMag
that's a fun theme, it's not a problem
7:01 pm
Krista
No, dang, I missed it. My daughter was telling me about it. I wish they'd show it again. I'm old school; never warmed up to Joe.
7:01 pm
featherbee

Have fun, Stidmatt! My daugther just asked me if she could, and I told her no, I'm playing Babble. I'm mean.
7:02 pm
Babbler
does MikeyInBerlin still play?
7:03 pm
FranMag
i don't think so babbler, ever since "the incident"
7:03 pm
Krista
No one will ever measure up to Steve. Sniff sniff. I read in Parade that "Joe" is General Patton's cousin (trivia!).
7:03 pm
Babbler
is that the Bex incident? or was there another?
7:03 pm
featherbee
what incident? nosy minds wanna know
7:04 pm
Krista
yes! *leans in and listens intently**
7:04 pm
bech0057
ru 5/16 clue please
7:04 pm
FranMag
this was the noblelover incident of May 9th.
7:04 pm
featherbee
ru5/16 is like the silly pu*** also
7:04 pm

at least i think that was the date.
7:04 pm
bech0057
ty featherbee
7:04 pm
Babbler
Mikey was recovering from an operation or something, and wasn't feeling 100%, but that meant he had a few run-ins with some of us.
7:05 pm
Babbler
I don't know about noblelover's incident. I wondered where he'd got to. He was just a kid too, wasn't he?
7:06 pm
FranMag
the way it was explained to me, someone (noblelover) complained about chatting in german and Mikey took it personally.
7:06 pm
bech0057
st 5/12 clue please!
7:06 pm
featherbee
oh geeze. the complaint that is, not mikey
7:06 pm
FranMag
bech, st*** your stuff
7:06 pm
featherbee

7:06 pm
bech0057
the first st 5/12, that is
7:06 pm
FranMag
the other one is an anagram of that one.
7:06 pm
featherbee
or the other one, switch the two middle letters
7:07 pm
jeanniejinx
Just like to thank everyone for the clues.. have just finished the grid for the first time after numerous attempts..couldn't have done it without you
7:07 pm
Krista
Eh. Not juicy enough. ;)
7:07 pm
FranMag
but the next day no one took mikey's side and that was the last anyone saw of him in the grid.
7:07 pm
featherbee
congrats jeannie!
7:07 pm
FranMag
yay jeannie!!!!!
7:07 pm
featherbee
that's too bad
7:07 pm

7:09 pm
Babbler
awww, jeannie, congratulations! sit back and enjoy the fireworks, that's what I do. Whatever you do, don't refresh!!! lol
7:10 pm
FranMag
daisy wants to play too.
7:10 pm
Krista
I rarely finish..it's contrary to my perfectionistic side, but there just isn't enough time. You're not a failure (but I know what you're saying)...why don't the fireworks have sound effects?
7:10 pm
featherbee
so krista, fran, daisy and me
7:10 pm
Babbler
I'll take Mikey's birthday theme out and replace it with Gold Toes Day. (next week). brb...

7:17 pm

7:19 pm
Babbler

7:21 pm
Babbler

7:21 pm
Dorens

7:21 pm
Babbler
Dorens, I've got this scheduled :

7:21 pm
Babbler
Dorens, I've got this scheduled :
16 Sept - Create a South Park Character (You?)
7:22 pm
Babbler
maybe self-portraits morphed into that theme? or I was lurking and made it up?? I can't remember where it came from now. :/
7:22 pm
renfield
that sounds fun!
7:22 pm
renfield
dorens...we were all trying to impress art lady!
7:23 pm
Dorens
hahaha that came out of a discussion with someone else... i never even watch southpark, ---yes it was a morph from self-portrait...ended up self-portrait ala southpark. i'm sure it will work out to be fun....but it won't be ourselves.....

8:09 pm
Jacula
TO - seriously, advice my doc gave me for a 'loose bowel & sickness' - take a bottle of Coca Cola and let it go flat. Sip it very, very slowly throughout the day. It not only calms the stomach but it also rehydrates you.

8:10 pm
Scrabbler
Ginger ale will help too, Jacula
8:11 pm

TO - it MUST be Coca Cola, not Pepsi or any other make and it must be FLAT. I promise you it works.
8:11 pm

8:21 pm
lbdawger
Leslie, woman's name. like E Merman
8:21 pm

8:22 pm
Kenny Chuck
Thanks, lbd! Almost there!
8:22 pm
lbdawger
ly5, the KKK did this to people they didn't like
8:22 pm
Scrabbler
allow + opposite of down = le5
8:22 pm
Kenny Chuck
Got that one, lbd. Need the other one *S*
8:23 pm
Jacula
le5/14 - compound word. It's rained all day with no le***!
8:23 pm
Kenny Chuck
Thanks, Scrabbler! That's the kind of word I would enter out of pure frustration and it wouldn't be there. Now, because I didn't see it...Oh, well *L*

8:25 pm
LeslieAnn

8:25 pm

8:26 pm
Jacula
ru5/16 - ru4 like.
8:26 pm
Kenny Chuck

8:26 pm

8:26 pm
LeslieAnn
no thank you, didn't have the stray cat st***!
8:27 pm
Jacula
Both ha5's refer to going fast. One means 'speed' and the other 'speedy'.
8:27 pm
Kenny Chuck
Scrabbler, there is to go in ha***, but there is also to be ha***. Does that help?
8:27 pm
Scrabbler
One is the anagram of that, the other is the shortened version of to be an idiot
8:28 pm
Kenny Chuck
Fireworks!!!!!
8:28 pm
Scrabbler
AHA, KC---thanks. @ left.

8:30 pm
Jacula
Oh, what spiffing fun! Tea and crumpets.
8:30 pm
Kenny Chuck
Then I remembered who I am and laughed at myself!!
8:30 pm
Jacula
Mind you, Kenny, if you're moving your crumpet and your lorry - it seems you have a girl in tow. LOL.
8:30 pm
Nef

Kenny Chuck
Oh, LA, I know...what you do in church, when you give 10% of your earnings.
8:35 pm
Jacula
T's from the bottom right are: flat thing for carrying stuff on ( and its plural). Rubbish and rubbishy. Church payment of a 10th part.
8:35 pm
lbdawger
Nef, Tom P**** and the heartbreakers

lbdawger
Hi firefly
9:05 pm

9:11 pm
Jacula
lbd - ages are kinda important when you're working out storylines.
9:11 pm
stidmama
Jacula -- in the last few days of the story, we gave names to the characters. Adam and Ava are the grandparents who live next door, Cathy is the daughter who never married and lives with them. Gilly and Paul are the central figures in the story. Peter is Gilly's elder brother who operates the family farm. John is Gilly's eldest son and is visiting with his family.
9:11 pm
Jacula
Hi Eva and Merp.
9:11 pm
Eva

9:11 pm
lbdawger

9:11 pm
stidmatt

9:11 pm

stidmatt
That is how I write!
9:15 pm
stidmama
The sun sank a little lower in the sky, and a swallow cut through the air above the well. A breeze rippled through the hollyhocks along the fence and the tops of the fruit trees swayed.
9:15 pm
Jacula
Eva - the proper meaning, if you want to know it, of the ly5/14 is:Horse colours: Very small spots of white on a gray background, or vice versa, giving a silvery gray appearance. It's a word from Elizabethan times.
9:16 pm
stidmama
Peter pulled up to the gate, and helped Helena out while his children piled out the back of the wagon.
9:16 pm
stidmatt
tr 5/14 please!
9:16 pm

9:17 pm
firefly779
inge - omg, that is amazing!!
9:17 pm
Jacula
Stidmama - I write like that, too; stream of consciousness stuff. But then I go back and edit it... which is probably why it takes me so long to do a 'proper' piece of writing these days. I do have to say, when I just wrote, I sold it straight off.

Paul glanced at his hands and adjusted the buttons on his shirt. "Well, no," he replied, "But I am nervous about seeing your uncle and grandparents after all these years."
9:26 pm

Peter came up the steps, greeting his mother with a flourish and a bouquet. They burst into laughter -- it was a family joke, that flowers were for the living, so Peter made a point of bringing them to his mother every time he saw her.
9:37 pm
Jacula
stidMatt - if your mother does not approve of what you are doing, she tu**! LOL.
