12:01 am
Ankhorite

Heh! Helen, Lickety gets paid some tiny fraction of a cent for every time we click on an ad. You can go right back and click on a different one; he gets paid per click. It doesn't come NEAR to covering the cost of his site, much less his time; but if enough of us do it, it helps. It's a courtesy.
12:01 am
Ankhorite

Yeah, Metal, I think you did.

12:13 am
Jacula

I have so many songs I want played at my funeral that there would be no time to play them all in the 20 mins or so allowed - so, they're going to have to have a party afterwards and play all I've asked for, if I'm not to haunt them! The song I want to 'go out' to, Lynyrd Skynyrd's live version of Free Bird will take up most of the allotted service time!
12:13 am
FranMag

i was here at the flip andree.
12:14 am
Ankhorite

Free Bird!? Oh, Jac!
12:14 am
Ankhorite

I kinda like "This War Is Over" by Melissa Etheridge for a funeral song.
12:14 am
Yvo

i think i will just make a stipulation that everyone must play scrabble at my wake and make a donation to the humane society o and wear pink lol
12:15 am
Jacula

Ankh - what is wrong with that? It's my life theme. Failing that it would be Elton John's 'Skyline Pigeon' or Black Sabbath's 'Laguna Sunrise'.
12:15 am
helenkeller

jacula - a few years ago, one of those grammar school girlfriends wanted us all to go to see cher - she used to be director of marketing for some computer company (us robotics, compaq, 3com, lucent -can't remeber which one it was at the time) anyway she got us all tickets on her 'expense account' & the opening band was that very band - lou bega, didn't know them then (although everyone said i would recognize them) & still don't know them now - but if you like mambo music, you may want to check out the iguanas, esp. their some nuevo bugaloo
12:15 am
metaleather

I like it better this way.
12:16 am
Jacula

And, to be brutally honest, Ankh, 'this bird will never be changed' by anyone.
12:16 am
Ankhorite

Taz, such an EXCELLENT plan! I want everyone to wear white, like the suffragists.
12:16 am
helenkeller

One good thing about being an independant woman, even though I have a 'new' love now... is that no one locks my kitchen or flips my lights off or tells me when it's time to sleep! Oh LOL! Jolie Jacqueline has just come off Windows Media Player into my headphones now.

I didn't type that! A troll typed it!

You'll work it out from the context. It's the Yorkshire version of Manuel saying 'I know nothing', except in this case it's saying nothing.

Now you take back that thing you said bout aristitle onassis.

We dont turn the other cheek the way we done before.
You could hear that honky holler as he hit that hardwood floor

All right!

Maybe the Vikings aren't completely mediocre...I was expecting them to be exposed against the Bears, and they weren't...
3:29 am

Douglas exemplifies an interesting form of word association... you say a word... and he comes up with a song...
3:30 am

It's a song by one of the candidates for Texas Governor, the legendary Kinky Friedman...
3:30 am

Haz...there is only one S????
3:30 am
Haz1558

No, Flask, there are two. The word ends in a vowel.

G&S on a Monday morning, too much for me.

It was the song sung by the Sargeant of the cowardly constabulary in The Pirates of Penzance, bemoaning the necessity of depriving his erring fellow creatures of liberty...
4:00 am

po6/21 and po8/45 - cyanide and the one who administers it.

It is also an anagram of ****.
4:07 am
Douglas

Is it just me, or do any of you think the Esteban guy selling guitars and guitar lessons is most likely named Steve Schwarzinski?
4:07 am
FMitch

Talking of constabulary (tenuous link) - have you got the fe5/16 (& pl) that went to pr6/21 and became a pr8/45 for his sins?
4:08 am
Haz1558

Yes - a pretty good link, if you ask me! Did you ever watch the TV series (not the antipodean one)
4:08 am
Douglas

He went to pr6/21 and became a pr8/45, because he was a po8/45...

Possibly one of the most disappointing final episodes in the history of television...

Channel Four will probably do a programme soon entitled 'The 100 most disappointing final episodes in the history of television'. They've done just about everything else.
4:23 am
Haz1558

What are its competitors, Douglas?
4:23 am
FMitch

Very true HAz

Morewords - a very useful tool
4:37 am

Just found that en6/18 if anyone else needs a clue.
4:37 am
Haz1558

Andree - it's a great resource. www.morewords.com. Type in the first two letters at least of the word you are looking for, dashes for the number of remaining letters, press a button and it brings up a list. Then you just have to scan through. I use it in preference to monkey-typing!
4:39 am
Andree

thx haz, will try it
4:40 am
hydra

so will I
4:40 am
Haz1558

This is where I wish that I was on commission from morewords!
4:42 am

Just tried and it gave me the op5 right away!
4:43 am

Escellent - it really is very useful and I think your brain does absorb the other words as you are scanning through.
4:43 am
Haz1558

Excellent -that should have read!

One of the great things about Babble is learning about subatomic particles...
4:44 am

I just tried it too, bit of a pest going back and forth though
4:45 am
hydra

know what you mean...
4:45 am
Haz1558

Andree - reduce it down in size, minimize it and then press on it when you want to consult it.
4:47 am
Haz1558

At the latter stages of the grid I have the list and morewords minimized and can juggle back and forth. Completely non-technical language, but hopefully you know what I mean!

No, it's truuuue! They think maybe I just recognized the logo and spoke what I'd heard on TV. But it is also truuuue that I still AM the Frito Bandito. I love those things, and alas, they have given me the figure I have today.

consonant
8:33 am

ML Love your icon - very bargelo-ish
8:34 am

Then is the pr 6,21 following it connected somehow. It can't be plural because we've already used the s.
8:34 am
kthdsn

you must have found a different one then, the one I have is plural
8:34 am
metaleather

tyvm Frances. it is based on the game of "pool" or "billiards", lol
8:34 am

PR5/12 is singular (not using the S)
add the S on the end for the 6/21

if not, just ignore me, I think I've confused myself

I am entirely self taught and started making quilts just because I wanted to know how to do it. I bought a whole lot of different black and white cotton prints and started and this design just sort of evolved. I finish up with a full sized bed quilt and I was hooked.

it runs along the bottom of the grid then up for the last letter

What in the world does it mean?

In a state of wild alarm
With a frightful, frantic, fearful frown

I seized him by his little pigtail
And on his knees fell he!

I drew my snicker-snee! My snicker-snee!

Oh n'er shall I forget the cry
Or the shriek that shrieked he
As I gnashed my teeth, when from its sheath

10:41 pm
TeaNCrackers

same with us - about feeling married.
10:44 pm
Minveryork

People still ask me now how it feels to be married. It felt the same the day after we got married as it did the day before we got married. Only thing different was that we that piece of paper and my husband got my insurance. But married life is pretty great so far!

Hi Ankhorite!How are you doing? Welcome to the grid
10:45 pm
TeaNCrackers

I was out of work when we got married and I needed insurance, so we got married (mostly to cover birth control) and then we got pregnant (on purpose) about nine months later ;)
10:46 pm
TeaNCrackers

Hi, Ankh!
10:46 pm
Ankhorite

Hiya, Min. We're in the same boat on insurance; his employer, who laid him off TODAY, covered me as a domestic partner (and will do so through January). But after that... ? We may be forced to marry. :(
10:47 pm

I KNOW, and California needs to be sued about that; it is flat-out sex discrimination. I volunteered, but Dear One didn't want to risk it...

Hi calmunid!How are you doing? Welcome to the grid!
10:48 pm

Yeah, well, that's more legally defensible than California's position. Tea, it's me: the hamster is a her!
10:51 pm
Minveryork

My husband had insurance when we got married, but then he quit his job and had to go on my insurance. I had better insurance.Tried to put my him on mine as soon as we got married,but my employer wouldn't let me since he already had insurance.Makes me wonder if he quit his job just to get my insurance! (No, J/K!)
