I seem to be the only Brit in the chat log. Hope you like my new icon. I can actually see this from my window . The grid is a bit daunting today. I have things I should do!!!!!
12:30 am
jillibus

12:32 am
RocDragon
more st6/21
12:33 am
verna
Its the country's most famous work of art. Done by Antony Gormley. Its has a wing span of 54m. It is right by the side of a major road so thousands of people get to see it daily.
12:34 am

Erda
sorry -- sorry -- sorry
12:37 am
verna
You obviously know a bit about Durham. Do you live around that area or have you travelled there.
12:38 am
jillibus
erda - glad -- glad -- glad
12:38 am
godthaab
No, I travelled there in 1987 actually. We stayed in the dorms in the University. I remember it as a very beatiful town. I live in Canada.
12:40 am
melonheadjujube
i have 2 st 28s - don't see how either would lead to an 8 letter word
12:40 am
verna
We have Canadian friends who live in Etobicoke Toronto and we took them Durham when they stayed with us. Like you they loved it.
12:41 am
melonheadjujube
taDah, roc!
12:41 am
godthaab
Really, I live in Etobicoke!
12:42 am
jillibus
roc - how do you do it?????
12:43 am
verna
This is getting spookie. Their area code is M8V 1X8.
12:43 am

verna
My friend Donna was a school teacher and has taught at quite a few schools in the area. She is now retired. They have 2 American retrievers which take up quite a bit of their time.
12:49 am
jillibus
and what does xiao_zheng mean?
12:49 am
melonheadjujube
got the an 9
12:49 am
godthaab
What school?
12:50 am
jillibus
American retrievers???? Chesapeake Bay retrievers? (I've been a dog show person)
12:50 am
RocDragon
it's what the teacher called me in chinese class. "little zheng"
12:50 am
debbinla
very late fliparooni ! hello everyone !
12:50 am
jillibus
chinese class? Are you Chimese?
12:50 am
jillibus
*Chinese
12:50 am
RocDragon
american-born chinese
12:51 am
verna
I thought you might ask me that, unfortunately I can't remember her last school, but the next time I speak to her I'll find out.
12:51 am
RocDragon
RocDragon is a translation of my chinese birth-name
12:51 am
godthaab
What a small world, eh?
12:51 am
jillibus
great that you keep in touch with the language, roc
12:52 am
jillibus
Sorry I only have a few words (see my profile)
12:52 am
verna
It s certainly is, if you do live close by the chances are I have walked her dogs by your house as I walked the dogs for miles all around the that area.
12:53 am
godthaab
There is a very large park near my house; perhaps she walks there.
12:53 am
RocDragon
ok i'm stuck. going to lickety's..
12:54 am
verna
She lives off Royal York rd. There is a park close to her beside a tennis courts and the park has a baseball area.
12:55 am
jillibus
you're giving me a well-deserved inferiority complex, wikth my 40 words found!
12:57 am
godthaab
By the school on the hill?
12:58 am
verna
I should have said Royal York road and Lakeshore.
12:59 am
godthaab
Oh, down there. I am up at the other end, near Eglinton, but I do know that area fairly well.
1:00 am
jillibus
verna and godthaab, this is amazing. I lived in Toronto eons ago and know a bit about the area you're talking about.
1:00 am
godthaab
Where did you live?
1:01 am
jillibus
In Leaside
1:01 am
godthaab
Nice area of town!
1:01 am
jillibus
Had friends in Etobicoke
1:02 am
godthaab
I guess the whole world knows someone in Etobicoke!
1:02 am
verna
If we keep this up we might turn out to be related!!!
1:03 am
jillibus
Our part of Leaside was little boxes on the hillside, cheap post-WW2 housing, right by a railroad line - not fancy but convenient!
1:03 am
godthaab
That's funny!
1:04 am
debbinla
it's not just me the site being nutty - is it?
1:05 am
jillibus
We paid $10K in 1948 and heard much later (60s)that this tiny house had sold for $300K!
1:06 am
godthaab
Housing prices in TO are ridiculous, although I hear it is even worse out in Vancouver. I think real estate is the most expensive in Canada. That house is probably worth 500-600 now
1:07 am
verna
godtaab I think I know the park you mention. Does it have a small passenger train running through it and a small collection of caged animals???
1:08 am
jillibus
absolutely nuts!
1:10 am
godthaab
No, you are thinking of High Park, the biggest park in the city. The place I was referring to was a school on the Kingsway whick is one block west of Royal York, north of Dundas.
1:11 am

Morning all. Whether or not I do today's grid on line depends on whether we get the thunderstorms the weather lady 'promised' today. Big grid, busy day... hope to be back later.

4:25 am

Thanks kateq for the 11. I've just come back and scrolled back through the chat. Though I wasn't going to come back but the computer must have a magnetic field around it!
4:27 am
sprite
JFB: that is a well proven fact!
4:27 am
mattygroves
I can't find the proper st6 for the 11. I'm assuming the in5 is the normal one.
4:28 am
Odin
I'm fighting the magnetic field now...I HAVE to go to work...I will however be forced back without a doubt before the day ends.
4:28 am

Not me, Sue! I believe drG fixed it.
4:41 am
SueMagee
Well, so long as it's fixed. Well done Ata!
4:42 am

mattygroves
Thanks Sprite - that was it! Fab thanks.
4:43 am

It is a dumbass word.
4:44 am

4:48 am
mattygroves
This is the first grid I've seen that uses every letter in the grid as a first letter.

the woman at the front desk would not let me see the doctor b/c I had no referral. She wouldn't call my Dr to get a referral, and would not let Jay use the phone to call for it. We had to drive all the way back to my doctor's office, talk to the nurse there about the referral (and she couldn't figure out why the first woman hadn't just called. She was very rude. I made a verbal complaint to the doctor about it.
9:53 am

12:10 pm
Cathyar
i will never, as others have said in the past, understand why internet is NOT a word!
12:10 pm
Jacula
Well, Helen, I figured everyone else would choose Nessie, the Yeti, crop circles, UFO's & aliens, or the Bermuda Triangle and so I thought... why not pick the biggest mystery of all? LOL.
12:11 pm
Jacula
Cathyar - I agree!
12:11 pm
helenkeller

CiociaJudy
Wow, Helen. That will keep you out of trouble. My Dad moved in with me in June. Haven't had a free moment since. He has done a lot around the house but no time to myself!
12:13 pm

mymuse- Hi! try actor montgomery cl***
12:13 pm
helenkeller
also - i just waited 8 weeks for a new picture window - oversized so had to be custom (seal on old one compromised, so all foggy inside) they installed it yesterday & there's a scratch on the glass - so they have to replace it, another 3 weeks
12:13 pm
mymuseisme
merci, muchas gracias abe, was going crazy
12:13 pm
Jaime

Hi all
If I had been able to play today my icon would have said "Enable Dictionery" one of the greatest unexplained mysteries of our time :)
12:13 pm
Cathyar
next time someone speaks with Dr. G, please ask him why?
12:13 pm
abe79
no prob mymuse :)
12:14 pm

12:15 pm
helenkeller
ahh judy - one of those blessing/curse situations, good luck! - but i think that's great of you - too many people our generation stick their parents in nursing homes - i have no respect for that at all - time to pay back the piper
12:16 pm
CiociaJudy
Hi FMitch!
12:16 pm
CiociaJudy
Helen, will they replace the window for you?
12:18 pm
helenkeller
yes judy they are & i feel kinda bad about it because the scratch really is very minor, but beside the cosmetic thing, i also worry that a golfball-sized piece of hail will hit it at just the right angle, 10 years & 1 day from now when the warrenty expires & then i will regret not having it replaced
12:18 pm
phandmd
did you get it jamie?
12:18 pm
Jaime
nope. i got lost as to what you were referring to. one more time?
12:19 pm
helenkeller
that & also for $1800 i think it should be free of flaws just like it said in the contract
12:19 pm
CiociaJudy
Absolutely, Helen! better safe than sorry later.
12:19 pm
phandmd
cl 5 - mountains have sharp drops, or a t.v. show might have a cl* hanger, change the last letter

Hi there! Helen, that Alan Rickman?
12:43 pm
torgone
My fan .. Thanks!
12:43 pm
helenkeller
you betcha chic!
12:44 pm
chic
one of your favorites, I know....so who goes tonite in BB7?
12:44 pm
Wolvie
truly, madly, deeply. ;-)
12:44 pm
helenkeller
chic - what is your pic? bermuda triangle from space?
12:44 pm
chic
that's correct, Helen...
12:44 pm
helenkeller
:) wolvie
12:45 pm
helenkeller
chic - yes weird to actually see the triangle part - i thought it was just roughly the shape
12:45 pm
Wolvie
why can't we have exlax - just once! ;-)
12:46 pm
chic
BB7, Helen, who goes tonite?
12:47 pm
helenkeller
chic - are you getting the live feed? i hope the robe goes, that's all i got to say
12:48 pm
chic
no I didn't do the live feed; and that would be Marcie?
12:49 pm
helenkeller
well - i'm torn bet the 2 - pros & cons for each - who are you wanting out?
12:50 pm
helenkeller
i did the feed this year - 1st time - have really tapered off cause they are boring, lazy, mean, very mean - but marci wears that robe ALL THE TIME it's annoying, the man rarely gets dressed
12:51 pm
Calqhoon
internet and intranet aren't words :(
12:52 pm
chic
really wanted James out; Jannie is being so naive this time around..Marcellas should go, he's turned into such a rat....
12:52 pm
Vicuna
Yes, they are, Calqhoon... just Enable won't accept them! But TRY not to let Babble distort you view of reality too badly!
12:52 pm
sha
la 5-10 please the 1st one?
12:52 pm
Wolvie
what is bb7??
12:52 pm
helenkeller
and the producers really do a great deal of heavy editing - they all hate being there, most have really bad attitudes, they make fun of the competitions, they aren't excited about rewards, they complain all the time - and many are veyr mean drunks - jase & dani in particular
12:53 pm
sha
big brother wolvie
12:53 pm
chic
Big Brother 7 on CBS
12:53 pm
helenkeller
sorry wolvie - big brother7
12:53 pm
Wolvie
oh - brother. ;-)
12:53 pm
Calqhoon
USA Big Brother, that is.
12:54 pm
chic
I love watching Dr Will and Boogie; they are so evil...and funny...
12:54 pm
Aloyisius
sha: la + a number after nine
12:54 pm
Wolvie
not much of a television watcher - CSI - Vegas, yes. Stargate, yes. Football (american) yes...ott - not much.
12:54 pm
helenkeller
chic - ITA james out!!! what a total ass! i am really hoping it's all an act on janie's part - i am beginning to suspect that much of this season is scripted & people walked into the house already having intact alliances - there are runors that boog & erika were living together, or at least dating prior to show
12:55 pm
chic
Wolvie, Love Stargate
12:55 pm
helenkeller
i love stargate too! & atlantis!
12:55 pm
Wolvie
yep - I got hooked on Daniel from day one. :-)
12:55 pm
MVA
love stargate too
12:55 pm
Wolvie
of course, the story lines are great, too - lol
12:56 pm
chic
I'm a Richard Dean fan
12:56 pm
helenkeller
lol - babble stargate fanclub - i prefer o'neal -he cracks me up
12:56 pm
Wolvie
he's good too - got my fix with McGyver tho
12:57 pm
chic
Helen, I agree that some of it seems scripted, esp when Will and Boogie do their thing in the diary rm..
12:57 pm
helenkeller
see, i never saw any mcgyver - not even part of one episode - think i need to fill this pop culture hole in my life
12:58 pm
chic
It's still running everyday probably twice a day on TVLand channel; McGuyver that is...
12:58 pm
mymuseisme
chiley the one I have is more wet as in weather
12:58 pm
chiley
nevermind.....I found it
12:58 pm
helenkeller
chic- i mean more than that - i mean competitions are designed to favor certain people & the hg's think that too & re-doing a comp is easily fixed too - you can always have a 'malfunction' & then re-do if you don't like who won - bb7's rating will suffer bigtime when janie leaves & the producers know that so they are invested in keeping her around
12:59 pm
Wolvie
yes you do, helen - it's a hoot.
1:00 pm
helenkeller
chic - i do not get the expanded cable, maybe i should look into that - or get my neighbor, who is not ar!, to tape it for me, huh
1:00 pm
Wolvie
hey, chiley - share?
1:00 pm
chic
really! that's quite a conspiracy theory going there, Helen. but this last POV contest was so easily not fair but fixed...
1:01 pm
Wolvie
yep - or get direct TV - that's what I have
1:01 pm
helenkeller
which pov - they are all running together in my mind
1:02 pm
helenkeller
i think everyone has direct tv but me, lol
1:02 pm
chic
the only channel I don't have that I want is the SCi-Fi one; I just don't want all the drek that comes with it...
1:02 pm
Mom
I don't Helen, just cable
1:02 pm
Wolvie
worth it - much better than cable - and you don't even have to use me as a referral. ;-0
1:03 pm
Wolvie
chic - drek anyway you go these days - like the old springsteen tune...
1:03 pm
chic
Tues nite's POV, where they had to bid who could last the longest in the spinning chair, mech. bull etc.
1:03 pm
Mom
excuse me - did it again
1:03 pm
Wolvie
much better than yesterday - how about you?
1:04 pm
helenkeller
but i need to have the cable anyway for my computer & the basic package is just $20/mo more - but yeah i don't get scifi either, which i would love to have, maybe a good thing to stay away from more tv though
1:04 pm
Mom
doing good. I was hoping for a smaller puzzle.
1:05 pm
Wolvie
I have cable for the puter, direct TV for TV. you can do both with drtv tho
1:05 pm
chic
that's what Dvr is for; I tape a lot of shows so we can zip thru in half the time...
1:05 pm
Wolvie
Mom - ha! I don't mind as long as the site stays up.
1:05 pm
helenkeller
i'm sorry chic - i did not include the 'thrown comps' aspect into my theory - producers know who is going to throw comps in which direction so they can set it up ahead of time to make those outcome occur/occur easier
1:06 pm
Mom
I spend way too much time doing this. But I am enjoying it and the family isn't fussing
1:06 pm
chic
well that's certainly making sense now but too bad. I'd rather see them all battle it out for real..
1:06 pm

hi MaWa
1:07 pm
MaMaWA

1:07 pm

1:07 pm
MaMaWA
Bigger i mean
1:07 pm
chic
and they are probably right...
1:08 pm
chic
anyone gett the 11 yet?
1:08 pm
MaMaWA
at least it seems like site is working better today
1:08 pm
helenkeller
chic - it would be boring for feed subscribers then & they would lose $$$, but i agree - the problem with this season is that they already all know each other so there is none of that 'testing the waters' & 'getting to know you' intrigue
1:08 pm
sha
yes thanx ruthy u?
1:08 pm

2:23 pm
helenkeller
i wish we had national health insurance
2:23 pm

helenkeller
i wish healthcare wasn't tied to employment
2:24 pm
72 Temple Owl
bite your tongue hk!

phantom word to match the teeth talk: extract
2:25 pm

2:25 pm
Wolvie
gee - just like ours deeha.
2:25 pm
Jacula
Deeha's not exaggerating. It's true, sadly.
2:25 pm

2:27 pm
helenkeller
i just had a hip replacement - went to a top guy, got the minimally invasive procedure, excellent care, excellent results - but i had to pre-pay his surgeon's fee of $8800 because he's fighting the insurance companies to code this procedure differently from the old way - now not everyone can afford to lay out that kind of cash - it's not right
2:28 pm
Wolvie
it is - just make sure you get the plural!
2:28 pm
Vicuna
Poor TO! If it's any comfort to you, I was convinced that was a phantom, too.
2:28 pm

wow helen - sadly, i would have thought it would cost more. Glad it went well.
2:29 pm
72 Temple Owl
ok jacs! as long as it isn't one minute for every year of age! LOL!
2:29 pm
helenkeller
that was just his surgeon's fee, discounted from $14,000
2:29 pm
Deeha
altho' ours is free you can still get refused treatment - on cost- that the next door hospital trust will give you. It epends on your post code and is really unfair
2:29 pm
CiociaJudy
ty Aloy! Perfect clue!!
2:29 pm

hi helen - i'm glad someone else gets on the soapbox - it's usually me
2:29 pm

stidmama
oh, thanks helen, I was just trying to figure out which one he might be... never saw a picture of him before .... brb
3:51 pm
helenkeller
or as he is known among the chatters who get the feed - marcell ass because he has been mean toe everyone's favorite janie & no one likes him anymore, plus he wear the same white silk robe most of the day, never seems to get dressed
3:52 pm
jillibus

hi kim!
3:53 pm
Vicuna
Hello, kimberblue. Yes, it's a doozy.
3:53 pm
stidmama
still don't know, jill -- it's been a few weeks. I also don't have a purson of any color any more. That's okay... it makes me mysterious.
3:53 pm
stidmama
you said it, kimberblue!
3:54 pm
helenkeller
so stid - did you go check him out?
3:55 pm
jillibus
I noticed the purson absence too - and your profile doesn't say if you're male or female
3:55 pm
stidmama
no Jill -- but does it really matter?
3:55 pm
Vicuna
With a name like "mama," I think I have a guess as to her gender...
3:55 pm
stidmama
LOL as if my screen name and my chat topics didn't give it away!
3:55 pm
helenkeller
stid-incognita
3:55 pm
jillibus
no, stid - and I think people can figure it out from the mama bit - lol
3:56 pm

Helen, I am trying to figure out how that game is played... I have never watched a "reality" TV show... so far I am stymied!
3:56 pm
jillibus
going for lunch NOW - bbl
3:57 pm
helenkeller
well stid it's pretty awful - i realized what it was that kept me watching these shows, like bb & the bachelor & that is the pure horror of it all - & since i am allergic to scary movies, this has substituted for that genre
3:58 pm
helenkeller
in bb - 15 people are locked in a house & must live together & each week they vote one person out, until there are 2 left & then the last 7 voted out (the jury) vote on who wins the big prize
3:58 pm
stidmama
later Jill!
4:00 pm
helenkeller
i say it's mean because there is lying, conniving, tone of swearing, deceit left & right, & people's true natures come out on natioinal tv for all to see - it is the epitomy of inappropriate disclosure
4:00 pm
stidmama
Helen, it seems like a very silly thing to me. I can't imagine taking that much time out of my life for something like that -- I guess I am really just a stick in the mud. give me "Green Acres" or "Looney Tunes" any day!
4:00 pm
helenkeller
stid - $1,000,000 - does that give you pause
4:01 pm
stidmama
I don't need to watch people being mean to others and acting like total trash... not even for a million dollars. It is not in my nature, and it makes me sad when people put money over relationships.
4:01 pm

hmm, got that one, what precedes it ( a 5/12)?
4:03 pm
helenkeller
well, they are at best fake relationships - but if you mean their real life relationships, i can see where for some people that much money really means a long-term change in circumstance - which can be great for large families struggling, etc. - but your point is taken, most are greedy, single young people
