FranMag

4:38 am
MJbikes
6 of them have to be there...I have 6 left.
4:39 am
Angb
The ones really bugging me are the c's
4:39 am
Angb
I have 2 to go.
4:39 am
Angb
How many start ch?
4:40 am
FranMag
that's one of the ones i still need
4:40 am
FranMag

4:40 am
Angb
Me too. The middle e? I have only one
4:41 am
FranMag
i have ca x 1, ce x 4, ch x 2 and cy x 1
4:41 am
Babblephish
woo-hoo! my downtime is complete and successful. dows anyone need a quick clue before I crash and burn?
4:41 am
Angb
I will look for an extra ce then
4:41 am
FranMag
do you have ec5/12?
4:42 am
MJbikes
need help with first ce 4/6
4:42 am
Angb
My first one is to give away
4:42 am
Babblephish
like the pe... less the p... add a vowel at the end
4:42 am
FranMag
ce + feline minus the last letter
4:43 am
Angb
That's the one ... ta
4:43 am
FranMag
add another letter for ce5/14 MJ
4:43 am
Babblephish
my clue was for the ec4/6
4:44 am
MJbikes

4:44 am
FranMag
oh, i was comparing my es to angb's babblephish, i had it already...thanks!
4:44 am
MJbikes
phish, thanks as well ( had it too).
4:44 am
Babblephish
oh good
4:45 am
FranMag
angb, the middle e's all have to do with your sight organs
4:45 am
Atalante
I think there are more French words in here than English ones
4:45 am
Babblephish
I'm fading fast... *yawn*
4:45 am
FranMag
last ey4/6 is an anagram of the other ey4/6
4:46 am
Babblephish
gotta catch some zzzzz before I have to get up soon. night night all
4:46 am
MJbikes
thanks Fran...that's the one I was missing
4:48 am
Angb
An anagram mixes up letters. If I keep the first two the same, then I can only change the last two. Doesn't work. Or should i also go to sleep?
4:49 am
FranMag
you need another ey4/6 angb, it's an old plural of the sight organ
4:49 am
Angb
That could be the reason, I thought my sanity had slipped. It's an awful feeling.
4:50 am
FranMag
trust me, i know that feeling ang!
4:50 am
Angb
Fran - I swear I had tried that word ... many times. Thnx

Atalante
The C isn't, Fran! None are *really* weird
4:53 am
FranMag
ooh, MJ, tell me what C i'm missing, i have cax1, cex4, chx2 and cyx1
4:54 am
FranMag
thanks ata!
4:54 am
Angb
Atalante, what is normal to experienced Babblers like you and Fran, is often strange to mere mortals like me.
4:54 am
MJbikes
missing a CE
4:54 am
Atalante

4:54 am
FranMag
yup, thanks ata!
4:55 am
FranMag
thanks also MJ!
4:55 am
FranMag

5:01 am
FranMag
MJ, ec5/12 means the brilliance of success, ec + opp of early minus last letter
5:02 am
FranMag
te5/18 sounds like a guy who's good with computers, but it means a little off in the head
5:02 am
Angb
Only 5 to go - found all the easy Ls!!!

5:21 am
P.J.
It sure is and nothing is more devoted then a pet. he traveled every ware with me and he loved camping and sleeping with me in my sleeping bag.
5:22 am
Angb
That is amazing. I used to take my dog out in a boat fishing. She was special too. You don't ever really replace the really special pets.

6:12 am
pida 1
Good morning, everyone. How's the grid?
6:12 am
Eva
much better than last year gramma. But the Montpelier area, though beautiful, isn't quite as dramatic as the Northeast Kingdom, or around Craftsbury or some other places. How is it around you?
6:12 am
gramma
It's a sweet little thing
6:12 am
Babbledude
You must be a trained pro gramma cant see a thing

6:14 am
gramma
Sorry, Eva. I was actually responding to pida 1. Anyway...the foliage here is brilliant in the swamps. The rest is just hinting at it's future beauty.
6:15 am
pida 1
Guess I'd better get started, Haz. If you think it's difficult, it probably is.
6:15 am

yes, we made a conscious decision to give away our the bulk of our furniture, appliances and household stuff to charity, and travel light in just the two cars. We have books and extra clothing and stuff being shipped. We also rented a storage unit in Idaho to hold other family/personal stuff for a few years until we know if we're staying here or moving overseas.

7:22 am
bunnyvicious
I have to get the kiddos ready for a dentist appnt. Oh, faerie, i really am going to start a blog with the house pics, but I cannot find my connector cable for my camera after the move. Gonna have to go pick up another, because all my boxes are unpacked. Drives me crazy how things dissapear when you pack and unpack!
7:23 am
pida 1
Yay!!!! WTG bunny!!!
7:24 am

7:25 am
bunnyvicious
We've been moved in for about a month. We only moved 10 miles away from our old house though. I still threw out tons of stuff, then had to pack tons of stuff for the five kids.
7:26 am
ch1212
We moved 2500 miles. How far are you going, faeriekae?
7:26 am
bunnyvicious
In fact, I built me my very own fish pond, since I have to sit outside and smoke...wish I could show you a picture, lol.
7:26 am
faeriekae
Bunny if you move 10 miles or 1000 miles it is still hard and I do understand the feeling of living out of a box
7:26 am
faeriekae
Ch I'm moving 525 miles
7:27 am
bunnyvicious
2500 mile? Sheesh (I could never move that far away from my Mommy).
7:27 am

thanks ch1212 got the ch7

abe79
my fiancee is the world's worst packer/ unpacker/ labeler, so its up to me to keep track of stuff, lol. wow, that's a lot of crates!
7:40 am
ch1212
that's a great idea, faeriekae. This move I just scribbled on the lids, but one move (now infamous in my family) I actually inventoried every box's contents onto the computer and alphabetized and cross-numbered... definitely a little too compulsive an organizer! :)
7:40 am
faeriekae
and I have 25 more sitting in the basement ready to be filled
7:41 am
abe79
but unpacking must have been a dream, Ch! Faerie, if i could, i would leave work right now and help you
7:41 am
inge
Ok all you babble movers, I finished while you moved. :):):):) Some of our books from moving 12 years ago never got unpacked!!!!
7:41 am
faeriekae
ch I simply used tape on the crates and put Kitchen, Bathroom, Master Bedroom, Guest Bedroom, etc.... your idea is much better
7:41 am
faeriekae
Abe I understand and I would help you also

faeriekae
Just got a call from a friend she is bring me breakfast on her way to the doctor.....she is having a hip replacement so she isn't able to help me pack but she is very thoughtful
8:31 am
chj
actually the ones they rent are these plactic kayaks where you are just sitting on top....and you get soaked when you go thru the rapids
8:32 am

I've never tried Kayaking but it does look like fun and I will do it some time
8:33 am

8:33 am
faeriekae
Thanks :)
8:35 am
chj
they are very tippy...the first time i got in one, i mistakenly dipped my shoulder to paddle like i would in a canoe and went right over...you have to keep your shoulders level when you paddle
8:36 am
faeriekae
I don't think I spelled that correctly but yes they are water level and you do have to paddle but looks like really good exercise
8:36 am

Faerie... a scull? Or... (getting Halloween pictures in my head!)
8:37 am

9:09 am
Anniebrook
hi Stidmama, how are you today?
9:09 am
Haz1558
It's fine thanks - our neighbours have just resown their lawn, it's had its first cut and you have never seen such green grass!
9:09 am
stidmama
I am well. Grant has a sore throat and low-grade fever, so I will keep him home. Good thing it's a small grid!
9:10 am
Haz1558
Small but with obstacles....
9:10 am
Anniebrook
Hope Grant is better soon....yes, there obstacles here today in the grid
9:10 am
chj
shouldnt fichy be a word...as something smells fichy around here
9:11 am
harpjane
oops, hello. (coffee...must have coffee.....)
9:11 am
stidmama
oh, that first mowing is so much fun. but in a mature lawn I like clovers and little (we call them english daisies) bellis perennis (ours are white with little pink edges) and a few dandelions...
9:11 am
Anniebrook
hi jane
9:11 am
Ankhorite
*envies Haz' neighbor's grass* Our is... well, mostly not grass.
9:11 am
stidmama
hi harpjane. :-) me too. only it's tea today... brb
9:12 am
pida 1
hi jane, just made a fresh pot, have some
9:12 am
Haz1558
The only problem with the grass is going to come when their two sons resume playing ball-games!
9:13 am
Ankhorite
Well, we've had ours resown last spring, but I think that it was too close (4 weeks) to the herbicide... usually we don't use chemicals, and we won't again.
9:14 am
stidmama
two boys, two dogs -- I no longer care too much about our lawns, and will be pulling up some of the front to reseed with more wildflowers next spring... just easier and I think more attractive as well as better for the environment.
9:15 am
stidmama
why doesn't it recognize "alcyd?"
9:15 am
harpjane
we don't have a decent lawn. that's next year's project. this year is to fix the sidewalks and water lines, and take out a tree. All things that will make the lawn even worse...
9:16 am
Ankhorite
Doesn't recognize "tech" either, Stid.
9:16 am
Ankhorite
Harp, in six years, utilities have lifted our lawn four times.
9:16 am
stidmama
grumble grumble
9:17 am
stidmama
LOL Ankh! sounds like it's time to plant some spiky shrubbery... rosa rugosa, some nice himalayan blackberries, firethorn...
9:17 am
Haz1558
Lawns are a great source of pride around here - lots of people who want theirs to look like bowling greens. We're not quite that bad, but red thread disease was a bit of a crisis in our house...
9:17 am
harpjane
we are sort of thinking about xeriscaping, so we won't need much water. but I LOVE the green lawns and lots of flowers...
9:17 am
harpjane
this grid is hard
9:18 am
Haz1558
You'll need to explain xeriscaping, and yes, the grid IS hard.
9:18 am
stidmama
Yes, same in our neck of the woods, Haz! but we just politely ignore the others and go on our merry way. Besides, with all the fruit trees and the fence that will soon block the veggie garden the little bit of green left on the ground in front is barely noticeable.
9:19 am
stidmama
xeriscaping is planting things that don't mind a drought *sob* I lost several plants this year...
9:19 am
Haz1558
Ah - it would never take off in Ireland!
9:20 am
Haz1558
Being a xeriscapist in Ireland would be a shortcut to bankruptcy.

Achill is beautiful - I've been there in the summer time when the wind was brisk but it didn't rain.
9:24 am

9:25 am
chj
achoo, i've got achill
9:25 am
Ankhorite
Txs, chj... now, about that ad6,7?
9:25 am
stidmama
I would have thought the same for our area, Haz, but unfortunately with the climate changing (and yes, it's noticeable over time here) the plants that used to thrive in our mostly moist climate are now just getting by unless they are very well established.
9:25 am
pabtrek
just monkeytyped it Ankhorite it means The univalent radical C5H4N5 in adenine. and uses a big point letter
9:25 am
Haz1558
It's pronounced with a hard ch rather than a soft ch.

Babbler
GOTTA LOVE DRUNK PEOPLE
A man and his wife are awakened, at 3 o'clock in the morning by a loud pounding on the door. The man gets up and goes to the door where a drunken stranger,
Standing in the pouring rain, is asking for a push.
"Not a chance," says the husband, "it is 3 o'clock in the morning!"
He slams the door and returns to bed.
"Who was that?" asked his wife.
"Just some drunk guy asking for a push," he answers.
"Did you help him?" she asks.
"No, I did not, it is 3 o'clock in the morning and it is pouring out there!"
"Well, you have a short memory," says his wife. "Can't you remember, about three months ago when we broke down, and those two guys helped us? I think you should help him, and you should be ashamed of yourself!"
The man does as he is told, gets dressed, and goes out into the pounding rain.
He calls out into the dark, "Hello, are you still there?"
"Yes" comes back the answer.
"Do you still need a push?", calls out the husband.
"Yes, please!" comes the reply from the dark.
"Where are you?" asks the husband.
"Over here on the swings!", replies the drunk.

dang...bank I'm off to the bank...bye
1:14 pm
Daisy Eric
fi5 - think of the suffice that used to go after 'micro'...
1:14 pm
metaleather
Flask... the fi5 is the fi4 with a consonant inserted
1:14 pm
Daisy Eric
fy4/10 - very similar to the fi4/8
1:14 pm
metaleather
and the fy is an alternate spelling of the fi4
1:15 pm
Daisy Eric
not suffice... suffix. (tsk)
1:15 pm
