OK, I'm not starting today's grid - I've no time to complte 298 words - but have fun guys!
2:28 am

I have to be fast today, have to be off in about half an hour and won't be back in till tonight. Probably will emulate your staying up late tonight! :)

Not finishing isn't the end of the world, you know... :) We can play for the fun of it.
2:31 am
jillibus

I'm not attempting this monster - Wednesday is always a busy one for me, with my library shift, and it always seems to be a huge grid. So I'll pop in now and then and go to bed at a reasonable hour (sort of)
2:31 am
mattygroves

Couldn't resist changing my icon (cats today, or toes. I've gone for cats. And dragons)
2:31 am
JFB

I very rarely finish sprite -I enjoy the words and the chat.
2:31 am
seano216k

now say that like you mean it sprite.....yeah i can give up any time!!!
2:32 am
sprite

That's the spirit, JFB! I am so lucky the grid flips for me at 7 am, so I always have the entire day to play, theoretically. But if I can't finish tonight, I won't cry. Promise! ;)
2:33 am
sprite

seano, I swear, I did not play for almost a week and I didn't go cold turkey! Will try that again from Friday on, we'll leave for our holiday in Germany then.
2:33 am
JFB

The flip here is 6am. I'm either not up then or already at work.
2:33 am
mattygroves

Why golden toes, when the theme according to Angelsong is cats?
2:34 am
sprite

I believe it is in tribute to kristinc, who lost her baby prematurely.
2:34 am
jillibus

click on my icon, matty, for the explanation

Angb

4:06 am
Preethi

India
4:06 am
Preethi

its 2:30 pm here and im at work. Babbling whenever i find time
4:07 am
Angb

Wow, Babble truly gets around. I have quite a few students who have come to NZ to study from India.
4:07 am
Angb

It's 9.07pm here.
4:07 am
Preethi

cool. Are you a professor?
4:08 am
Angb

Wow, the kids should be in bed ... Sort of. I teach in a polytechnic and we don't have professors, and I don't think I am that clever anyway. LOL
4:09 am
Angb

I lecture in business, marketing and advertising.
4:09 am
Preethi

awesome. Im in the online advertising business
4:09 am
Odin

Mornin' All...hhhmmmmmm this looks interesting.
4:10 am
Preethi

Hi Odin
4:10 am
Angb

Fantastic. I know a little about that, but probably not enough. Hi Odin. 298 words today!!!!
4:10 am
Odin

Hey. What's the theme today?
4:11 am
Angb

Something about golden toes. Didn't get it at all! LOL
4:11 am
Odin

The combo's are incredible. Golden toes...I don't think I get it either.
4:12 am
Preethi

Neither did I before i took up this job. But it is interesting stuff.
4:13 am
Angb

Do you place advertising on other people's sites or something?
4:14 am
Angb

Odin. What combo's were you talking about?
4:14 am
Preethi

are you familiar with the advertising pgm that Google offers? Its called AdWords. So i work in that. We place ads on Google.
4:15 am
Odin

ed's double t's
4:16 am
Angb

I have some of those Odin, but probably not all of them yet (as usual) LOL
4:16 am
Angb

Preethi, I have seen those ads that Google put everywhere that seem to change with the "context". Sorry I'm a media planner by trade. Is that what you mean?
4:17 am
Odin

I'm diggin' this way more than yesterdays.
4:18 am
Angb

I'm finding this harder today. I keep on seeing Odin now LOL
4:19 am
Preethi

Yeah. you are right. So the ads that you see on Google.com are selected based on what the user is looking for. I work with the AdWords department in Google which handles the ads that advertisers submit.
4:19 am
Angb

Great, must be interesting. Wonder what they'll come up with next?
4:20 am
Odin

I saw it right away...what do they call them? Phantom words or something?
4:20 am
Angb

Yep, phantom words I think. I am new here and still picking up the lingo. Love to know what babblets are.
4:21 am
Preethi

yup. it is very interesting
4:21 am
Odin

Yeah, what the *h* does that mean? I am new also and I am barley figuring out the jargon.
4:25 am
Preethi

im at 63. this grid seems tougher than i thought it was
4:26 am
Angb

I agree Preethi. Am at 85, and at a complete standstill.

4:30 am
FranMag

well, just wanted to say hello, going to work without the chat for a while. BTW, a babblet is just a word that appears in the grids a lot and not neccessarily part of common conversation, for instance etna.
4:30 am
Angb

Cheers thnx for that Fran. Good babbling
4:30 am
Odin

Thanks Fran!
4:30 am
FranMag

4:32 am
hydra

4:32 am
Angb

4:33 am
Angb

4:41 am
hydra

4:41 am
Odin

If I worked from home it would be over for me...too addictive

Angb

A babbling mum!!!!
4:42 am
hydra

I Babble till I score 1000 then resolutely log out and get working. But it's already 10.40 and I've done nothing but Babble!
4:42 am
hydra

Phanton word: teddies
4:43 am
Angb

You must have 100o by now hydra ... where's your won't power? LOL It is addictive. I had to restrict myself to not taking this list ... otherwise I would stay until I got all the words out. 1am or 2 am in the morning!

I can only take small doses of Dr. Phil, Annie. Most of the time I think he's just a big phoney and an Oprah syncophant. Other times, he's rather hypnotic and I can't drag myself away. He does get points for not b.s.ing the drunks in denial and the teenage prostitues.

7:02 pm
Jacula

ca's after 'little cloaks' - they sound a bit like Samuri swords but are not spelled the same. ca6/21 is a closely linked series of writing or commentaries. (ca + a brand of pantie pads [not 'Depends'!]) ca7/32 is the Latin plural and ca7/32 after it is the normal plural.

Yeah, Annie. If he has any credibility, he has a few hours on the couch with his guests before the shoe. Even so, even the best shrink can't make a complete diagnosis in less than an hour (let alone in front of cameras).

Gilly soon brought her up to date, and not long after, Paul came through the door from the yard. "The doctor says Doris will need to stick to simple foods for a few days until all the swelling is down," he announced, putting an armful of wood in the box.

Soon after I landed across the sea, I took a wagon train of sailors and other "hands" toward the mountains in the distance, to see if we could trade for more supplies. The supplies in the harbor town were so costly that most of our trade goods would have be gone before we reached our true destination.

10:14 pm
stidmama

The third day when we awoke there was fog. We could see the trail we had come in on, but were not sure of the way we should go to get closer to the mountains.
10:14 pm
CiociaJudy

10:14 pm

10:14 pm
stidmama

The fog started to lift around midday, but not before we had heard some strange sounds coming from the woods around us.
10:15 pm
stidmama

One sailor swore up and down that he had seen a face at the bottom of a pool in the stream.
10:15 pm
CiociaJudy

Okay. Time for bed. See you Babblers tomorrow. Enjoy the rest of the story.
10:15 pm

ok -- 4 left all from those pesky c's...
10:17 pm
stidmama

Several who had gone around the edges of the clearing to gather more wood for the noon meal felt they had been watched by the trees as they picked up branches. One man, a young man from a village like ours, said he had seen a tree move away from him into the forest.
10:17 pm
stidmama

Of course, no one else had seen this, so we didn't believe him.
10:17 pm
cybernan

is the 2nd to last ca a 7/32? -- if so, could I have a clue, please?
10:18 pm
stidmama

But whatever the explanations were, the animals were restless and kept shifting about. We had to keep checking their hobbling to be sure they wouldn't get loose.
10:18 pm
kalea

yes nan..........feline + eagle claw minus last letter
10:19 pm
stidmama

As we ate, the fog lifted and we could see the trail we intended to follow. We quickly hitched up the animals and moved on.
10:20 pm
stidmama

We came upon a series of hills, each a bit higher and more difficult than the last. Periodically, we could see a cairn, or the remains of a cottage, but we passed no others traveling in either direction.
10:20 pm
stidmama

Even birds were scarce in this strange forest.
10:21 pm
cybernan

ce 5/12 -- not "stop"?
10:21 pm
stidmama

We were glad when, just at dusk, we saw a comfortable, good-sized town below us by a river.
10:21 pm

10:21 pm

10:21 pm
stidmama

The guards were suspicious of us, but let us in and directed us to a tavern close to the town wall.
10:22 pm
kristinc

goodnight inge
10:22 pm
stidmama

We gratefully put up our horses and donkeys in their stable and ate a hot meal before finding space in the loft of the tavern.
10:23 pm
stidmama

Some of the more experienced travelers among us cautioned everyone to sleep with their heads on their bags and their hands on their knives.
10:23 pm
stidmama

Turned out, this advice was more necessary than we could have suspected.
10:23 pm
stidmama

Paul looked around the table. Doris was nodding gently. Adam and Ava were sitting, each with a great-grandchild on their lap. The children's expressions were intent.
10:25 pm
stidmama

"I think we should stop here -- the next bit is quite complicated," Paul explained.
10:25 pm

10:26 pm

The children groaned, but Gilly spoke quickly. "Yes, and Owain and Otto haven't heard any of this yet. We'll invite them to supper tomorrow after the market closes and Father can continue."
10:26 pm
stidmama

For now, Polly will you and Meg help Doris get back to bed?

10:28 pm

10:29 pm

Adam looked at Paul, "Whatever else, you tell a good story, son." He winked at him. "We'll see you tomorrow ."
