debbinla

nite flosey

12:04 am

mkl

Now that I've looked at this puzzle, I think I'll skip it. Does it still count against my average score, even though I haven't started playing?

12:04 am

FranMag

night flosey!

12:04 am

LeslieAnn

holy moly!

12:05 am

FranMag

mkl, it won't affect it much to skip it

12:05 am

FranMag

but if you start playing and don't finish it will go down drastically

12:05 am

FranMag

hi LA!

12:05 am

LeslieAnn

it doesn't affect total points at all, will affect the 30-day one a little

12:05 am

LeslieAnn

hello!

12:05 am

mkl

But does it affect it at all if I don't start?

12:06 am

FranMag

skipping won't do anything mkl

12:07 am

mkl

Cool. I'm gonna pass. I have a busy day tomorrow. Now I know how smokers feel when they try to quit.

12:07 am

LeslieAnn

haha mkl! have a good day!

12:08 am

FranMag

Wolvie

6:33 am

Bloodaxe

Frances

Just off to get the Sunday papers before the news becomes history. Be back

6:34 am

Wolvie

Hi unaixoise. Just had to run and feed cat before he beat me up!

11:07 am

raelite

why are you overseas? if I may inquire...?

11:07 am

LeslieAnn

oh that's sad. my dad kept my cat when i went to college, i missed her a lot

11:08 am

Bloodaxe

i'm going to school in Morocco. I'll be here for a year.

11:08 am

Bloodaxe

it's strange, but she's the only thing I miss so far...and when I'm home I don't like her much.

11:08 am

LeslieAnn

i think it's because you can talk, e-mail your family, keep in touch, but that doesn't work with the animals

11:09 am

Bloodaxe

hm...that's a good point.

11:09 am

Bloodaxe

i never thought of it that way.

11:09 am

raelite

wow school in morocco...sounds exciting

11:09 am

Uneaixoise

11:11 am

Jacula

Oops! The chatlog's on a go slow again.

11:11 am

hydra

Like the time I was parrot-sitting for a friend. I called a radio station who were doing an item on pets and they asked me to make the parrot talk. He stayed schtum. When I came off air, he said, 'Take your knickers off' very loudly!

11:11 am

raelite

11:11 am

Jacula

ROFLOL!

11:11 am

LOL hydra!

11:13 am

Jacula

Hydra - Did you ask your friend how the parrot came to know such a phrase??:D

11:13 am

hydra

Hmmm Wish I had!

11:14 am

hydra

It escaped through a window the following year and apparently shouted that phrase all the way down the street!

11:14 am

LeslieAnn

hydra you have got to be making that up

11:14 am

hydra

No, I swear I am not!

11:15 am

LeslieAnn

11:15 am

Jacula

Truth is often stranger than ficton, LeslieAnn.

11:16 am

hydra

The same couple had a dog called Clapham. I went on holiday with them all, in a caravan with parrot and dog, and the dog stole my knickers and ran into a field with them. That's true, too!

11:17 am

LeslieAnn

well you should have listened to the bird in the first place, obviously

11:17 am

I had to share a room with the parrot. I covered up the cage and at 5am it lifted the corner of its cover and said, very quietly, 'good morning.' I couldn't believe it!

11:20 am

LeslieAnn

11:20 am

LeslieAnn

i can see why frasier was fooled when noel taught him klingon instead of hebrew...

12:06 pm

ARB

Hurshy, none of the above. But we do eat a lot.

12:07 pm

ARB

Raelite, it means :a good year"

12:07 pm

eljay323

that's one thing a miss about NY - the gobs of food at the holidays

12:07 pm

girlfriday

it's a religious holiday whereas New years in US is a secular/fun thing. It's about family and eating and getting ready for the heavy duty repenting you do in about a week on Yom Kippur...it's gearing up for that

12:07 pm

hurshy

i actually know, girlfriday, i'm just being silly

12:08 pm

Minveryork

Hello to my fellow babblers! How is everybody doing?

ARB

Not enough, Hurshy!

12:09 pm

girlfriday

ifonly!

12:09 pm

hurshy

i dunno - i think if you're REALLY wracked with guilt... then you don't eat...

12:09 pm

raelite

at least you only have a week of repentance...we've got 40 days!

12:09 pm

ARB

Raelite, latkes are at Hannukkah. At Rosh Hashana, there is usually fish, apples and honey -- all for symbolic reasons. Plus a huge meal

12:09 pm

girlfriday

Rosh Hashana isn't a great food holiday like H anukkah and passover

12:10 pm

hurshy

speak for yourself raelite - i've got to be sorry a lot oftener than that

12:10 pm

raelite

I've only been to a hanukkah celelbration

12:15 pm

Minveryork

Does anyone have a clue for the ra 6/18 word please

12:16 pm

wouldn't it be fun if after you repented from the things you DID do, you could list all the things you didn't do, and say, see God, look at all the things i could have done wrong and didn't

12:16 pm

bonkler

it's okay hurshy, you can jerk off if you want...or the gendered equivalent ;-)

1:15 pm

whitewitch1111

ARB - My friend Varda had a reunion with her first love after she went back to Tel Aviv. But not for long. Gilad got killed in Lebanon. He was one of the first 15 soldiers. I feel so sorry for her.

1:16 pm

whitewitch1111

Gratuliere Inge.

1:16 pm

hurshy

and it's a good thing you didn't, evanadine. up until recently i was anxiety ridden precisely because all those shows about people in bad situations on the news or like on "rescue 9-1-1" start with, "when they woke up that morning they had no idea..." so i was determined to always be braced for disaster. it made life rather sucky.

1:16 pm

ARB

One of the sad stories of war, whitewitch

1:17 pm

whitewitch1111

I know ARB....One day I gonna go and visit her.

1:36 pm

mattygroves

1:36 pm

Vicuna

2:18 pm

StephieC

Flosey, my mom's husband said Ma*t** Cole when my son was born.

2:18 pm

Vicuna

Forget the old TV, it's what every genie calls the one who summons it.

2:19 pm

KrisH

And then, after he's been summoned, leave out the T.

2:19 pm

StephieC

How many words today?

2:19 pm

I'm really not a masochist in any way (or an addict in other respects), but when it comes to a grid like this, I start to wonder...

2:44 pm

ARB

Those that MUST finish what they start.

2:44 pm

ARB

Those that MUST finish what they start.

2:44 pm

snowyowl

I COULD stop if I had to! LOL!

2:44 pm

mamabear

If ther is anything I have learned the hard way in life, it is to be nonaddicted.... actually, I think I am addicted to being not addicted.

2:45 pm

LeslieAnn

2:45 pm

Hippos snorted in the river below the tents and baboons tried to throw things at us across the river!

2:51 pm

Haz1558

We had one morning when we were woken by the sound of a hippo chomping outside our tent! We stayed inside....
