got over the slideshow since none of her family made it in
12:32 am
wurdygurl
i am sorry klaurel...events like that are no fun...
12:32 am
klaurel
but the family pics pissed me off. I told my hubby that his sister basically acknowledges her brother's existance and treats his family like chaff
12:33 am
klaurel
No, but the dancing was great. My daughter had so much fun and she was dancing with her step-cousin and my 10 year old was laughing and calling him her boyfriend
12:33 am
wurdygurl
is he as upset about this as you are
12:33 am
klaurel
pretty much made the night
12:34 am
debbinla
thats what is impt klaurel - !
12:34 am
klaurel
yes. Hubby is upset but I don;t want tio stick him in the middle, but I told him the next time his sister gets all passive-aggressicve and snipes at me, I am letting her have it. 19 years is enough of that crud
12:35 am
wurdygurl
I hear you. My husbands family is the same way. totally disrespectful. But, I have him, he has me, and we have great kids. Make the most of what you got and feel pity for the others

Oche is a word as well!
2:20 am

One thing I learned from babble: no matter how unlikely a word looks, sounds and seems, it still may be valid. And however common and normal a word is, it still may be NOT valid.
2:21 am
FMitch

mkl
Sorry. Wrong box
2:44 am
Beast

2:45 am
froelica

froelica
good luck, sprite!!
2:45 am
sprite
Beast, froelica told me: "you're not missing anything, sprite. marshmallow covered in sugar. grossssssss....."

2:46 am
Beast
eww, i don't like marshmallow to start with
2:46 am
Beast
i quite like the wild turkey idea though
2:46 am
froelica

2:47 am
MVA

2:47 am
Atalante

2:49 am
MVA

2:49 am
Beast

If you see a nice man eating marinated fruitcakes, it might be froelica's dad, Beast.

2:50 am

back home you could buy it precooked at the grocery store. It's still stinky though.
3:17 am
Beast
will hang around for a bit to give clues
3:17 am
froelica
that reminds me of a quote from "so i married an axe murderer" ( even though lutefisk is not scottish) : "i think most scottish food is based on a dare...."
3:17 am
froelica
lutefisk must have been based on a dare
3:18 am
Atalante
and icelandic food ...
3:18 am

My mom went to Norway to visit relatives and she said they didn't even know what it was.

3:20 am
froelica

3:20 am
Beast
but it tastes sooo good
3:20 am
snppngtrtle
ewwww. That's too bad, I love spicy food.
3:21 am
froelica
i know, i'm missing out.. but.... eewwww
3:21 am
FMitch
Could you imagine a babble grid that only had food/drink related words in it!
3:21 am
Beast
they dont use spoiled meat anymore, you would be safe
3:21 am
Haz1558
Any meat being served in a restaurant should have been though meat inspection and therefore be okay. The emphasis is on SHOULD have been.
3:22 am
Beast
wow fmitch that would be cool
3:22 am
snppngtrtle
That would be fun!
3:22 am
froelica
EXACTLY haz.... it SHOULD be..... but i don't eat meat anyways, so it's doubly disgusting to me
3:22 am
sarah1513
I would probably be able to do it easier

3:27 am
Haz1558
Loving sailing? From the travel sickness queen?
3:29 am
FMitch
British Steel was the name of the boat he went round the world in, lovely romantic name
3:29 am
Atalante
yeah ... I just don't do it very often - its the one thing I miss ... but my boyfriend from ages past was in the NZ Americas Cup team abd he started me loving watching sailing and sailing - when pumped full of seasickness tablets!
3:30 am
Haz1558
Ah! That explains it Atalante. And I've just googled him, he was the first man to go round the world the wrong way - 1971.
3:31 am
Atalante
actually, though, small boats aren't too bad. I can't even step on a ferry though

The ferries are a lot quicker and smoother than they used to be. But still quite expensive compared to flying. However, with the amount of stuff we have to transport there is no choice.

i don't quite get the question, silent
10:50 am
Krys10
everyone has the same grid. some people who have memberships have stats at the bottom of the page which tell how many words there, what letters they come from in the grid, etc
10:50 am
Krys10
but we are all working on the same puzzle
10:50 am
flosey
silentwind, there is a theme to each day's puzzle so we find an icon that signifies that theme
10:51 am

the point is to find words of 4 or more letters, and meet great people in chat
10:53 am
Ho Hum
beth - the stats panels you see under the grid go after 2 weeks, but it is a personal choice
10:53 am
flosey
don't worry about it silentwind, just make the words and it'll become clear
10:53 am
kalea
it IS much harder without the stats
10:54 am
Krys10
silentwind - have you ever played boggle? you are looking for words that can be made in the puzzle using letter tiles that are adjacent

FLOCCIÂNAUCINIÂHILIPILÂIFICATION
F
loccus \Floc"cus\, n.; pl. Flocci. [L., a flock of wool.] 1. (Zo["o]l.) (a) The tuft of hair terminating the tail of mammals. (b) A tuft of feathers on the head of young birds.
2. (Bot.) A woolly filament sometimes occuring with the sporules of certain fungi.
11:26 am
fig
(i just typed wrong)
11:26 am
fig
gollywhopper sounds british
11:26 am
Krys10
still not a word I'm likely to use often. :)
11:26 am
fig
i'd say 'oh, that tuft of hair..."
11:27 am
fig
flocci is for tuft, nihil is for "end" ..darn latin
11:27 am
Krys10
"That zebra is really floccinaucinihilipilified"
11:28 am
fig
i don't even know if it applies to zebras. maybe lioins cuz they have that tuft at the end of their tails. and cerebus monkeys. and poodles when you shave them.
11:29 am
mementomori
FLOCCIÂNAUCINIÂHILIPILÂIFICATION = an estimation of something as worthless.
This is the longest word in the first edition of the Oxford English Dictionary. Interestingly the most common letter in English, E, does not appear in this word at all, whilst I occurs a total of nine times. The word dates back to 1741. The 1992 Guinness Book of World Records calls flocciÂnauciÂnihiliÂpilification the longest real word in the Oxford English Dictionary, and refers to pneumonoÂultraÂmicroÂscopicÂsilico
ÂvolcanoÂkoniosis as the longest made-up one.
11:29 am
Krys10
oh.. i hadn't thought carefully about zebras. I guess their tails are kind of skinny, huh?
11:29 am
fig
i mean guenon mokeys.
11:30 am
fig
meme: i guess we use two different dicctionaries. but i can see where that silly tuft would eventually translate into something useless.
11:30 am
fig
if you ever find that word in a babble board, i will send you fifty bucks personally.
11:31 am
fig
would have to be a 6x6 board though.
11:32 am
mementomori
I defer to your brilliance and concur that my definition is as worthless as the word.
11:32 am
Krys10
done! thanks for all your fine company today.

Don't let that horse
eat that violin
cried Chagall's mother
But he
kept right on
painting
And became famous
And kept on painting
The Horse With Violin In Mouth
And when he finally finished it
he jumped up upon the horse
and rode away
waving the violin
And then with a low bow gave it
to the first naked nude he ran across
And there were no strings
attached
Lawrence Ferlinghetti

my last one is po5/16...I have the one that is illegal hunting...can you please help with the other? Thanks.
6:35 pm
Haz1558
po5/16 - is another way of saying what the po4/5 writes. Think of a small bunch of flowers and insert a vowel
6:35 pm
JeeWhiz
Thanks again Haz...I appreciate your great clues!
6:36 pm
Haz1558
You're welcome - and does this mean fireworks?
6:36 pm
JeeWhiz
It does!!!...I am blinded by the lights!
6:36 pm
Haz1558
Congratulations!

JeeWhiz
We used to have to imagine the fireworks. The real ones are much better.
6:39 pm
Haz1558
We are a simple bunch of people. We work our brains to death, neglect our families, and we are satisfied, not with big money prizes, but pretend fireworks!
6:39 pm
JeeWhiz
Haz, is your birthday Jan 5?
6:40 pm
Haz1558
No - we write our birth dates the other way over here, so it's actually the first of the fifth month (May)
6:41 pm
JeeWhiz
Okay, I was just thinking that you and I are about the same age. My birthday is December 26 though.

7:31 pm
stidmama
Oh -- the skylight in my "office" turns out to have been leaking ever since our home was built. It went down between the roof and the ceiling and into the outer wall. When we pulled up the roof a couple weeks ago to replace it (had to wait for funds) there were rotten beams and everything...
7:31 pm
Natasha
kenny, sounds like the letter after g
7:32 pm
stidmama
yuck. So anyway, the external work is done and all that remains is to remove all the affected plasterboard and insulation in the wall and ceiling, but that can be done from inside. :-)
7:32 pm
Kenny Chuck
Thanks, Natasha. Was looking for it and couldn't find it.
7:32 pm
stidmama
LOL -- that's the short version!
7:32 pm

7:33 pm
beebee
hodag- is that your cat? it's beautiful
7:33 pm
stidmama
yes -- and in "my" space it's really a bad thing with all my allergies. *sigh* I am just glad we found it before the roof buckled from the rotten wood!
7:34 pm
stidmama
I am really hoping the same hasn't been happening at the kitchen skylight...
7:34 pm
P.J.
I listed my email in the pro. would love to hear from people.No dateing interest!!!
7:35 pm

I hope you see an uptick in how you feel, allergy-wise. Mold alone can do a real number.

Esmeralda was up before everyone, and had the fire in the kitchen blazing, tea made and special breakfast cake in the oven before Gilly came in.
9:14 pm
stidmama
She smiled as her younger cousin entered, and handed her the bowl of batter for cream puffs to stir.
9:14 pm
stidmama
Gilly put on her apron and they talked about the children, the men, the state of the road through the village and whether the weather would hold out until the end of the harvest.
9:16 pm
stidmama
Esmeralda looked out the window briefly and smiled, "I think the weather will hold -- but I wouldn't dawdle if I were Peter and Paul!"
9:16 pm
stidmama
Gilly laughed, "As if they dared, Helena staring down their necks!"
9:19 pm
stidmama
Anna came in with John, Sarah on her hip. They set the table and sat down as Polly, Meg and Doris trouped in."
9:19 pm
stidmama
Andy followed, his shirt mis-buttoned and the tails hanging out. "Where's Nan?"
9:20 pm
stidmama
Esmeralda gestured with her head toward the back room. "She came down in the middle of the night. I expect she's ready to wake up, if you want to get her, Andy."
9:22 pm
stidmama
Paul wandered in, snagged a piece of cake and sat on the back steps to pull on his boots. John followed with two cups of tea and some sausages, and they walked to the barn to hitch up the horse to the wagon.
9:22 pm
stidmama
It was a beautiful day, with just that hint of sharpness to the air that ripens the last of the fruit on the trees and sends the flowers into their last glorious bloom.
9:23 pm
Leviathon
Stid, are you typing out of your own book, making it up, or typing it off of an existing book?
9:24 pm
stidmama
The twins came down last right behind Gray and Olivia (who were still in jammies), looking almost as well put-together as Andy. Their beards were scruffy and their hair stood on end, but their eyes were clear and their smiles were bright.
9:25 pm
inge
zzzzlevi, she is making it up
9:25 pm
Leviathon
NO WAY!! :O
9:25 pm
Leviathon
Wow, incredible Stid.
9:25 pm
stidmama
Olivia ran straight to Nan, who set her up on a chair with a napkin and a "bidge" piece of cake.
9:26 pm
stidmama
Gray solemnly accepted the seat his grandmother had vacated and helped himself to a bit of cake and some tea.
9:27 pm
stidmama
Meg was right behind him with a towel to catch the drips.
9:27 pm
Leviathon
"Gray solemnly accepted the seat his grandmother had vacated" That's your vocabulary? It's almost too good to believe.
9:27 pm
Leviathon
So well said. I am nothing like that.
9:27 pm
stidmama
Soon, the "menfolk" and Doris and Meg were on their way to the harvest.
9:28 pm
stidmama
Thanks for the compliments, Leviathon. I am having fun.

Anna was just finishing at the sink when they heard a crash from the other room.
9:37 pm
stidmama
She and Polly rushed out and came back with a very shame-faced -- and grimy -- Gray.
9:37 pm
Leviathon
Wow, at first I thought you were typing all of this off a book!

Robinskj

9:40 pm
stidmama
Polly soon emerged from the front room with the ash can (half empty) and the dustpan (full) and the remains of the vase that had stood on the table near the comfortable chair.f
9:41 pm
stidmama
Ava grimaced as she noted the grime at the edges of Polly's skirt. Though it was her working skirt, still it would take some careful brushing to get it clean before it could be washed.
9:42 pm
stidmama
Polly went back to the front room again, and after a few minutes called for Nan's help. Together, the girls managed to roll up and pull (through the kitchen) the carpet that went before the hearth in the warm months to the back yard.
9:43 pm
stidmama
Gray's howls of unhappiness echoed through the yard and came in the kitchen window.
9:44 pm

9:44 pm

Eventually, he returned with Gilly, wrapped in the towel and much cleaner. She sat him in the chair nearest the stove and washed her hands. There was a meal to prepare for the harvest workers. The rest of the cleanup could wait.
9:45 pm

Anna came in, having done her best on Gray's clothes and hung them on the fence to dry.

Gilly came back to the kitchen with the little bird in her hand and gave it to Gray. He inspected it and put it to his lips.

The bird gave a strange, funny warbling sound -- like children playing in a distant field.

OK, i'm stumped by the co5/18 that is next to last - got the words on either side of it. (I just know I'll be head slappin' after i get a clue)
11:10 pm
helenkeller

11:10 pm
MayneGuy

11:10 pm
jillibus
MG - I would have had my late hubby as mine too but I've had to live without him for 10 years now, after 49 years of happy marriage. So I had to pick something else!
11:10 pm
helenkeller
you mean co 5/16?
11:10 pm
lbdawger
and totally wowed when i meet people who are past the 25 year mark
11:10 pm

Well, all my old friends are into the 50-year range of married bliss now!
11:12 pm
MayneGuy
be careful melon - might shake something loose
11:12 pm
helenkeller
mel - that's why is used the japanese fishy clue - want the fish too? LOL
11:13 pm
jillibus

not always bliss, but that's what relationships are about, ups and downs.
11:14 pm
MayneGuy

If we last to more than 20, it's entirely his fault!
11:14 pm

congrats Stid!
11:14 pm
jillibus
Hi stid - she was on a bit today but I missed her - I see she's offline now, dammit. When I saw she WASonline this aft, apparently she had minimised in order to look for recipes.
11:15 pm
helenkeller
ep 5/16 = geological time period
11:15 pm
stidmama
lbd-- that's right. Not always bliss (sometimes bliss seems unreachable) but always love, it seems, and usually interesting...
11:15 pm
melonheadjujube
hi, jilli - my folks were married 51-"derful" years before we lost mom.
11:16 pm
melonheadjujube
nevermind got it!
11:16 pm
lbdawger
stid...always interesting! and communication is key too
11:17 pm
melonheadjujube
tx anyway - i'm going thru the clues in alphabetical order
11:17 pm
stidmama
Granny and Grandad were married 59.5 years. They were like Tom and me -- "comfortable" but not over the top lovey-dovey.
11:17 pm
MayneGuy
Interesting is really important!
11:17 pm
jillibus
yeah, melon - it's sad - we had expected to make at least 50, but there you go. HUbby went to sleep one happy night and didn't wake up - what a way to go.
11:18 pm
stidmama
That's what gives me hope for our future as a couple, we can talk. Usually we talk after I have a "hissy fit", but ... :-)
11:18 pm
stidmama
Jill -- that must have been so hard to wake up to. My heart aches for you.
11:19 pm
melonheadjujube
ohhhh, jilli.
11:19 pm
stidmama
On the other hand, at least he didn't suffer for months or years with whatever illness (I hope).
11:19 pm
jillibus
Yes, it was tough but we muddle through ;)
11:19 pm
lbdawger
that is very sad, Jilli. My neighbor has been married almost 60 years... she died last sunday.
11:20 pm
stidmama
oh lbd, I am sorry --
11:20 pm
jillibus
No, he never suffered - got a bit tired at times.
11:20 pm
jillibus
oh, lbd - how is her hubby bearing up?
11:21 pm
lbdawger
thanks Stid, she was a lovely lady, and her husband is as Jilli said, muddling through. he's 84 years old!
11:21 pm
helenkeller
gotta go - back at the flip
11:21 pm
stidmama
later helen, see you!
11:22 pm
jillibus
There are lots of very lively 84-year-olds around here!
11:22 pm
stidmama
I think 80 must be the new 60... LOL or maybe 50!
11:22 pm
jillibus
c u soon, hk - and I'm going to look for a vase - bbs
11:23 pm
lbdawger
warren has copd, we were afraid we'd lose him this summer, not his wife!
11:23 pm
jillibus
I think you're right, stid!
11:23 pm
stidmama
oh boy.. copd is awfully hard to have, that stinks.
11:24 pm
stidmama
I think I'll change too, unless someone wants a clue?
11:25 pm
stidmama
brb then!
11:30 pm
lbdawger
he's on oxygen, but not 24/7. what's worse is he still smokes!
11:34 pm
cat2
hi, again. Bulletins done. My mom has COPD, too. Not on oxygen 24/7, thankfully. However, she had a mild stroke last Sunday evening. If it's not one thing, it's another. She's doing well, tho.
11:34 pm
cat2
She's only 67.
11:35 pm
lbdawger
i'm glad to hear your mom is doing better Cat
11:36 pm
cat2
was soory to hear about your neighbor
11:37 pm
lbdawger
thx, she used to tell the funniest stories about how she met her husband during the war.
11:37 pm
MayneGuy
wondering what is copd?
11:37 pm
stidmama
okay, icon up!
11:38 pm
lbdawger
i forgot the technical meaning, but it's like emphesima (sP)
11:38 pm
MayneGuy
oh that's hard
11:38 pm
stidmama
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, lots of info on it at Medline
11:38 pm
aud
hi guys, does anyone have a clue for de 6/24?
11:39 pm
stidmama
emphysema is the old word for it.
11:39 pm
MayneGuy
de 6/24 = de 4/6 + er
11:39 pm
cat2
also info at w ww.copd-international.com/
11:39 pm
stidmama
de 6/24 (there are two) builds off the de 4/6 that is like "high" for a building, but refers to a hole... add a vowel and a consonent
11:40 pm
stidmama
apparently there is also something called Chronic Bronchitis that falls under copd also.
11:41 pm
libarebel
I think it's chronic obstructive pulmonary disease...
11:41 pm
libarebel
hi, all, btw!
11:42 pm
stidmama
I have known other people who kept smoking when they had emphysema. Never understood it. I can't imagine being so addicted to something that shortening your life is worth it...
11:42 pm

hi, cat!
11:42 pm
stidmama
hi liba!

11:44 pm

stid... me too. mom continued to smoke until 2 years ago. used laser treatments to help her stop. she'd smoked over 30 yrs and is smoke-free for 2 now.
11:44 pm

i've got 8 to go
11:44 pm
stidmama
*tapping foot expectantly* Can hardly wait to see what sort of vase Jill finds -- she's so good at icons!
11:44 pm
stidmama
go aud go!
11:45 pm
stidmama
good for her, cat2! I am sorry about the stroke -- hope she recovers well from it (I know that many people do)
11:45 pm
MayneGuy
Goooooo aud!
11:46 pm
cat2
thx stid...prognosis is very good...starts rehab tomorrow.
11:47 pm
Misu
wheeee, 13 mins left.. cutting it fine today.. -)
11:48 pm
stidmama
I will be thinking of her. Attitude is a big part. Let her know that current research shows that recovery can continue over many months, so if she gets a good start and then continues with home therapy she should do fine.
11:49 pm
stidmama
And in my experience, my elder child had significant brain damage at birth, some of it didn't manifest until recently. We work with him as needed -- and now almost 14 years later he is picking up skills that have been difficult.

Preschool was a tough one. My mother and mother-in-law kept saying the kids needed it for "socialization." but the kids I knew who had been in preschool didn't exhibit the social skills I thought were appropriate.
