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

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

le5 I thought should be 2 words but babble says no le4/4 - last letter + op of down.

Hope you get some sleep Munner bye.

Sleep tight, Munner

Short and sweet matty
2:16 am

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?
2:16 am
Haz1558

Good morning. This makes a change from the past few days!
2:17 am

2:17 am
mattygroves

Have you got a babble fairy? My husband smetimes plays on my account - I'm at work, he's at home, and I have to refresh to pick up his words.

It's the vowel words that always get me.

2:32 am
mattygroves

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

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

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

thans hydra and Fmitch...down to one and then I can go to sleep...le 5/14 cannot find it.

4:35 am

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

it would have to be low maintenance for me... I'm no gardener...

Hi, haz!

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

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
FranMag

perfect.
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!

Eva - No. I just saw it there. (Must have been thinking of my daughter!) LOL
5:58 am
FranMag

5:58 am

philod - for the et5 - How's your knowledge of old UK kings? There was one called Et****** The Unready.
5:59 am

newly coined word-lepur-a lemur with a skin condition

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

The spelling is slightly different but you will get the et word from it.

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.

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

6:19 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

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

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

alt spelling of a ti word that comes up a lot.
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

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

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

11:40 am
featherbee

André the Giant had trouble with both the speed and clarity of his lines, prompting Mandy Patinkin to actually slap him in the face to get him to concentrate harder. It worked.
11:41 am
featherbee

these are all from wikipedia's article on the film
11:42 am

11:48 am

Elwes is on Ella Enchanted (movie my daughter watches a lot) as her evil uncle. He still looks good, but not as good as then...

11:56 am

The giant rodents were created with diminutive actors inside rat suits. On the day Westly was supposed to battle the giant rat, the "rat actor" was pulled over for speeding and subsequently arrested, and actually had to be bailed out of jail by the filmmakers so the scene could be filmed.

6:10 pm
Krista

Please tell me for the 50th time where i can find the list of themes? I promise I'll bookmark it this time.

6:15 pm
Krista

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

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!
6:21 pm
stidmatt

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

I must confess I never saw the movie, now, I must!
6:21 pm

6:23 pm
chj

6:23 pm
Douglas

6:25 pm
chj

hey mama
6:25 pm
Krista

There was a Wallace Shawn earlier; haven't seen a Peter Falk.
6:26 pm

It's when I saw the phrase "organic radical," that the picture came into view in my mind's eye...
6:26 pm
stidmama

hi chj!
6:26 pm

Hi mama!
6:26 pm

Hello Mama, our personal raconteur (raconteuse?)

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
stidmatt

Not me!
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

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! : )

7:01 pm
FranMag

that's a fun theme, it's not a problem
7:01 pm

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

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

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

7:23 pm

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
72 Temple Owl

jacs: i have had two cans of ginger ale already to no avail with my zantac

I had the most awful upswt stomach a week before my 2nd child was due - truly I did not know which part of me to place by the loo. (Nuff detail there, I think!) It did work though.
8:10 pm
Scrabbler

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

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

8:21 pm
lbdawger

8:22 pm
lbdawger

ly5, the KKK did this to people they didn't like
8:22 pm

8:23 pm
Jacula

le5/14 - compound word. It's rained all day with no le***!

8:25 pm
LeslieAnn

8:25 pm
Scrabbler

8:26 pm
Jacula

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

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

I'm listless too, Leslie; but I'm only allowing myself 1 more hour to do this (been here about 45 min)
8:30 pm
LeslieAnn

8:31 pm
LeslieAnn

nef what letters do you need?
8:31 pm
Kenny Chuck

8:32 pm
LeslieAnn

8:32 pm
Kenny Chuck

Scrabbler, rhymes with what the floor of most football stadiums are lined with
8:33 pm
LeslieAnn

the e might be et*** merman, as someone clued earlier?
8:33 pm
Jacula

cu4/9 - if you have dandruff on your scalp it can also be described as scu**. Rhymes with a tu** grass word.
8:33 pm
Kenny Chuck

8:33 pm
Nef

I need 2 more P's from the left; and 2 T's from the bottom right

8:34 pm
LeslieAnn

8:34 pm
Scrabbler

Thanks, Jacula.I never heard of that before.
8:34 pm
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
8:35 pm
Kenny Chuck

Which P's do you need, Nef?
8:35 pm

8:37 pm
gwenski

9:11 pm

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.

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.

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.
