hurshy

does the eu build off shorter words, i don't have anything from that E

12:37 am

jillibus

I have the an6 & 7 -- must search for more...

12:37 am

TeaNCrackers

I had to look up the words in more words - it is a plural, both of the eu words are eu 8/55

12:38 am

melonheadjujube

i just gave a big fatuous clue, jilli

12:38 am

TeaNCrackers

and they're fish - literally

12:38 am

kierlex

12:38 am

kierlex

i meant clever, not cleaver....

12:38 am

cybernan

12:38 am

melonheadjujube

cleaver - as in the Mrs who always bakes cookies????

jillibus

12:42 am

Erda

12:43 am

TeaNCrackers

I;'m blushing

12:43 am

hurshy

*curses her decision not to study marine biology*

12:43 am

jillibus

Why do people call it cheating to look things up? Such words are not monkeyable.

12:43 am

Erda

hitting the dictionary is NOT cheating

12:43 am

melonheadjujube

i don't call it cheating - especially since one always learns something.

12:44 am

Krys10

the quote I like best was given to me by a fellow babbler a long time ago: using a solver is cheating. everything else is research

12:44 am

TeaNCrackers

I was being facetious about calling it cheating

12:44 am

TeaNCrackers

thus the winky after it

Krys, If you like I have some pics of bridges

3:00 am

Krys10

*poof*

3:01 am

Krys10

ooh! from where?

3:01 am

Krys10

(un*poof*)

3:01 am

sprite

from PhotoAlto, Roads and Bridges CD

3:01 am

sprite

more roads than bridges, actually, but I could send you the bridges separately.

3:01 am

Frances

May I please have a clue for the other 9 before I go. I have the an9

3:01 am

sprite

my email is in the profile, just leave out the spaces

3:02 am

Krys10

neat! i'll drop you a note so we can talk about 'em!

3:02 am

sprite

Great!

3:03 am

sprite

Eu8/55: small, edible, smeltlike fish, Thaleichthys pacificus, of northwestern coastal waters of North America, being so oily that when dried it can be used as a candle. The 9 is the plural.

3:03 am

Frances

Thank you sprite - hunting now

3:03 am

mattygroves

Got it (thanks to Google) - what's the clue for the AN9 if you'd be so kind...

3:04 am

sprite

Them telling the news, matty.

3:04 am

mattygroves

Merci buckets, Sprite!

3:04 am

yw ;)

3:05 am

Krys10

ooh, i just realized, this is the perfect place to ask:

3:05 am

Krys10

for UK travel advice

3:06 am

Krys10

my husband and i are flying into Heathrow on 12/25. We were hoping to get to Brussels that same day, but there are no flights. Best to stay in a hotel close to Heathrow and fly out the next day, or other ideas?

3:08 am

sprite

Fly to Schiphol airport, have dinner with us and then go to Brussels would be my idea, but that is definitely not what you are looking for ;)

3:09 am

SueMagee

You could try Eurostar to Brussels, Krys?

3:09 am

Krys10

that would be fun! the heathrow tickets are set, but we didn't expect to have so much trouble finding transport around europe once we got there.

3:09 am

Krys10

train?

3:09 am

SueMagee

Yes!

3:10 am

Krys10

I will look into it. I think J looked and found that there were few trains running because of the holiday.

3:11 am

sprite

Fireworks. I bid you goodday or night or whatever, and thanks for the help and the fun :)

Congratulations, Sprite!!

3:12 am

SueMagee

Well doneSprite!

3:13 am

sprite

having the stats on all the biggies really helped!

3:14 am

Krys10

sue, I think we waited too long - afternoon and evening trains all sold out.

3:14 am

Krys10

thank you for the idea

3:15 am

Atalante

can you get out to Brussels from one of the other London airports? Gatwick? or City>

3:15 am

Atalante

?

3:15 am

Krys10

dunno if J has looked into that - I think he was focusing on Heathrow

3:15 am

sprite

or rent a car and drive through the tunnel??

3:15 am

Frances

Or Stansted

3:16 am

Frances

Thought you had to put the car on a train

3:16 am

Krys10

how hard is it to get from heathrow to gatwick?

3:16 am

Atalante

you do, but you drive at each end :P

3:17 am

sprite

That might be true. Not sure you can drive yourself through it indeed.

3:17 am

Krys10

is the train through the chunnel the same eurostar that has no tickets available for passengers?

3:17 am

Frances

Different train but prob same situation

3:18 am

Atalante

there;s a coach shuttle that goes between the two airports, takes about 45 minutes I think

3:18 am

sprite

boat is taking ages, you'd better wait it out then until the next day...

3:19 am

Krys10

oh, i see the problem - we get into heathrow aroudn 10 AM and the cheap flight out of heathrow leaves at 9 AM. Then the price goes up dramatically (three times the cost of a hotel room overnight)

3:19 am

Atalante

oh urf

3:20 am

Krys10

so maybe the overnight near heathrow is better. is there anything fun to do around heathrow (although we'll probably want to mostly sleep, I'd imagine, after flying out from California!)

3:21 am

Krys10

it's about 90 minutes away from london proper, yes?

3:21 am

herinfernallady

krys i thought that they would have airport to airport shuffle like they do here. HI all dorry to but in

3:21 am

Haz1558

Don't sleep during the day, otherwise you'll prolong your jet lag! (Good morning, by the way)

3:22 am

Atalante

heathrow isn't exactly the *most* interesting place to be, but I think you should be able to get to Windsor Castle pretty quickly from there

3:22 am

Krys10

hiya! yeah, i know it'd be better to have lots of coffee and stay up - that's why i'm looking for stuff to do besides hang out in a hotel room

3:22 am

herinfernallady

can get train from heathrow to london

3:24 am

Frances

Transport-wise over the Christmas holiday is not the best time for public transport

3:24 am

Krys10

well, I could fly out of gatwick if i wanted to change planes in latvia!

3:24 am

Krys10

we'd arrive on 12/26 regardless

3:25 am

Krys10

maybe i'll look into renting a car so we can get around, and find some stuff to do near heathrow for a day trip

3:25 am

Eva

good morning all

3:26 am

herinfernallady

honer

3:26 am

Eva

krys-have you ever drive in England?

3:26 am

Haz1558

Good morning Eva.

3:26 am

herinfernallady

opps sorry bout that

3:27 am

Krys10

eva - i have driven in england, ten years ago. a lorry, actually.

3:27 am

Krys10

but i'd make my husband drive, anyway

3:27 am

hydra

Morning Krys. I live 3 miles from Heathrow, so if there's anything I can do to help.... Yes, Windsor is very close and that would be a super trip. You can also take the A10 bus from the airport into Uxbridge where there are two big shopping malls, cafes, etc.

3:27 am

Krys10

fast lanes on the wrong side, roundabouts confusing

3:28 am

Eva

wow! That's impresive. I found it hard even to be a pedestrian in England let alone drive, let alone drive around the Heathrow area.

3:28 am

Krys10

hi hydra! a bus would be nice and low key and a shopping trip would also do well to keep us awake but not overstimulated :) that might be perfect.

3:29 am

TrickyRic

british driving licenses are said to be the highest rank - you can drive anywhere with them :).

3:29 am

hydra

There's a cinema there to, currently showing Borat. You can sneak in and go to sleep!

3:29 am

Krys10

:)

3:30 am

herinfernallady

That is a good call hydra

3:30 am

hydra

The Chimes mall has Debenhams, Gap, Monsoon, BHS, and the Pavilions has Marks & Spencer, TKMaxx and lots more. I'm heading there in half an hour to change my library book and by some M&S salad!

3:31 am

Eva

sounds like you've got a plan, krys! Isn't it wonderful to have this international web of word addicts?

3:31 am

hydra

If you need any specific info, Krys, email me at hydrababble@yahoo.co.uk

3:32 am

hydra

When are you coming? We could meet for coffee, maybe!

3:33 am

Krys10

Hydra and everyone, thanks so much! I will run this plan by J and see if I get his approval :) We're flying in on 12/25, trying to get to Brussels as quickly as possible, then Germany for a few days, and then we're back in Epping 12/30-1/4

3:33 am

Frances

.....and I'm just up the road from Epping

3:33 am

Eva

are the malls, etc,open on Christmas?

3:33 am

Krys10

yeah, good point - will places even be open?

3:34 am

hydra

I missed the start of the conversation but with you a very good trip. Don't think they're open Xmas day and Boxing Day but they are the rest of the time.

3:34 am

herinfernallady

can i ack can you get nthe other word for cash in this clue

3:35 am

Ganja

the m money slang wont work for me herin

3:35 am

Krys10

phooey, well, if we can find a hotel that's open, we'll stay in and watch DVDs...

3:35 am

Krys10

I did want to see a few bridges in London, maybe that's the day to do it

3:35 am

Ganja

but i could be spelling it wrong i guess

3:36 am

Krys10

since the bridges will be open :) I can't wait to photo the curling bridge

3:36 am

herinfernallady

no the other one for cash

3:36 am

hydra

Oh, is it Xmas Day you're going to be in London then, Krys?

3:36 am

Krys10

yes, we leave California 12/24 and arrive in London 12/25, and were hoping to grab a puddle-jumper to Brussels that same day

3:37 am

Krys10

and then we'll be back in the UK again for New Years

3:37 am

hydra

You know, I'm so used to reading dates the other way round that I thought you were coming 12th Dec! You should call in here for mince pies!!!

3:38 am

Frances

You should try the Bull at Thedon Bois for a very good pub meal

3:38 am

Frances

That should read Theydon Bois

3:38 am

Krys10

whoops, forgot about the dates etc. Frances, is that near Epping?

3:39 am

Krys10

mince pies, mmm :)

3:39 am

Eva

Are there restaurants that would be serving a nice Christmas dinner?

3:40 am

Frances

Just up the road from Epping Krys. You can hop on the central line train one stop and the pub is walking distance from the station

3:40 am

Krys10

frances - theydon bois looks cool!

3:40 am

hydra

Where? Eping or Heathrow? If it's Heathrow, I can find out so you can book.

3:40 am

Eva

since everyone else is at home, Christmas can be a wonderful day to walk around places -if its not too cold

3:40 am

hydra

You're right, Eva.

3:41 am

Frances

Well dogs need to be walked every day

3:41 am

Krys10

hydra - J and I will take a crack at it, though if we need an insider's advantage or restaurant recommendations, I will surely get in touch to ask you.

3:41 am

hydra

:)

3:41 am

Atalante

bridges in london would be great when no-one else is around!

3:41 am

Krys10

Atalante, that's what I thought too - could get a photo of the pedestrian bridge wtih no one on it, maybe

3:42 am

Eva

Also, I don't know if it's the same there as here, but Indian and Chinese restaurants here are open on Christmas...being Jewish in predominantly Christian country, one knows these things.

3:42 am

Frances

and let me know too Krys and I can keep you upto date on the Epping area.

3:42 am

lshult

Hey everyone.

3:42 am

Atalante

there will be people around, I'm sure, but nothing like the normal crowds

3:42 am

Krys10

yeah, I grew up in a US city with a large Jewish population, so I forget that lots of places are closed in other parts of the world

3:42 am

Eva

hi ihsult

3:42 am

Krys10

i will keep you all posted about what we figure out.

3:43 am

Ganja

screencaps from 28 days later would have empty pedestrian bridges in London

3:43 am

lshult

I know where Theydon Bois is. When I was a kid, used to pley Ggolf in Abridge up the road toTheydon Bois. My mum still plays there!!

3:43 am

herinfernallady

krys i think they filmed 28days later in London at about 4am (or when dawn was) in the morning so there was noone around,

3:44 am

Krys10

28 days later is from 2002? i thought the bridge was newer than that

3:44 am

Krys10

maybe i'm getting it mixed up with the curling bridge

3:44 am

Frances

Nice course lshult

3:44 am

Ganja

it's a fantastic film too - icky and scary

3:44 am

Krys10

but ganja, part of the fun is the photographing for me :)

3:45 am

Ganja

i can relate to that krys, tho photoshop does help to make it look like i have SOME talent

3:46 am

Krys10

ah yes, the curling bridge was built in 2004:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The
_Rolling_Bridge

3:46 am

herinfernallady

Um im not familar with location details but maybe you could google it Krys

3:46 am

OK I'm off to the shopping mall with daughter in law and granddaughter for the day. Wish me luck. See you tonight.

3:46 am

we're still waiting for the millenium park out here, lol

3:48 am

TrickyRic

they only started digging it out this year

3:48 am

Atalante

the curly bridge is very near the train station where trains come into LOndon from Heathrow

3:48 am

Krys10

s'a little late, then, huh Ric?

3:49 am

TrickyRic

heh

3:49 am

Krys10

ooh! then maybe I'll see if J will indulge me in a bridge tour on Christmas Day and a fine dinner somewhere between London and the hotel near Heathrow. This is getting better

3:49 am

TrickyRic

thats british management for you i guess

3:50 am

Ganja

bridge would surely be empty on Xmas day

3:50 am

Eva

sounds like a good Christmas to me.

'kay, iI really gotta go to sleep - kitty is now batting at the laptop screen, and she's got a point - it's almost 2 AM here. Thanks to everyone, UK and otherwise, for the travel advice, and I will keep you posted about how it turns out! *poof*

3:53 am

Book Doctor Gwen

hiye Tricky -- what is your logo? Rotary kind of thing?

3:53 am

Ganja

are they real (regular) words ishult?

3:54 am

TrickyRic

its the kde icon - www.kde.org

3:54 am

Eva

the an word is-think of the people who give you the news

3:54 am

TrickyRic

i'm not a kde developer though - just a user

3:54 am

Ganja

oh thanks eva - should have gotten that compound

3:54 am

Eva

the eu word is a total babblet-if you go back in the log you'll find the google definition to look up. It's a fish, believe it or not

3:55 am

Ganja

x-cellent eva, many thanks

3:55 am

Eva

yw

3:56 am

Eva

maybe if I stop babbling I'll be able to fall back to sleep? And maybe the Easter Bunny brings easter eggs.

3:56 am

Book Doctor Gwen

neat-o, tricky! I look forward to the time when there is an OS that will *kill* windows

3:56 am

Eva

ganja-what's with the nickname?

3:57 am

TrickyRic

i havn't used windows in over 2 years, and there's 3 desktops, a server, and a laptop in this house hehe

3:58 am

TrickyRic

i run a business (www.qweb-design.co.uk) using gnu softwares alone :-) plenty of competing software out there

3:58 am

Ganja

just liked the sound of it eva

3:58 am

Eva

sure thing ganja(-:

3:58 am

Ganja

ound the eu9 too, thanks, fancy being able to use it as a candle - that's kinda eerie not to mention probably smelly

3:58 am

Book Doctor Gwen

tricky, i know there are other OSes, but i mean one that will run windows off the market -- one that is easy enough to use for the ordinary non-geek

3:59 am

Eva

yes-just what I want for house decora-fish oil candles!

3:59 am

Ganja

ick lol

3:59 am

Book Doctor Gwen

thanks all for the fish candle clue -- just got it

3:59 am

Ganja

but to have the wick coming out of their little mouths would make for some cool halloween decorations

4:00 am

TrickyRic

try fedora core - its a distribution of the gnu operating system with a linux kernel but very easy to use and maintain, and its rpm based so no compiling etc. to get used to

4:00 am

Ganja

mmmmm smoked salmon incense

4:00 am

Eva

very hard to type with a 15 pound cat sitting on ones chest

4:00 am

TrickyRic

there's also live cd distributions if you want to get a feel for gnu/linux before actually installing anything. ubuntu is a good choice there

4:01 am

Book Doctor Gwen

tricky, i hesitate since i need to trade files a lot and they must all be compatible with others who are using MS stuff

4:01 am

Ganja

i imagine its hard to do much of anything with a 15 pound cat on ones chest

4:01 am

Eva

the aliens are having a conversation

4:01 am

TrickyRic

these days many proprietary file types are supported too, especially since xml formatting took off

4:02 am

Haz1558

Eva - we must hu5/16 them!

4:02 am

Eva

yes, sometimes I wake up thinking that I'm having some terrible breathing problem et voila-just catitits

4:02 am

TrickyRic

openoffice runs on windows too, though it supports and can convert between all microsoft office file types anyway

4:02 am

Eva

no problem with the aliens-always amazes me that there are people who understand all of this

4:03 am

TrickyRic

though shockwave flash (not flash flash) still isn't available as it uses directx handles, not opengl

4:03 am

Eva

I basically know how to turn my Mac on, get email and search the web

4:03 am

Haz1558

I know.

4:04 am

Book Doctor Gwen

tricky, my business depends (largely) on a software package that wont' even run on the UK version of windows, so I hesitate to fiddle with a new OS

4:04 am

herinfernallady

my mum doesn't know how to cut and paste which i find funny

4:04 am

TrickyRic

lol haz i'm trying to find your hu5 now...

4:04 am

Haz1558

It's an American spelling (it will make you laugh if it's good)

4:04 am

TrickyRic

well i can't help there, lol. what software is this? or is it in-house?

4:05 am

Ganja

i think i have more phantoms than real words at this point

4:05 am

Eva

but I'm really lucky to have alien friends and neighbors who help me out with computer stuff. The cutting and pasting is funny....as I have a Mac, and not one of the brand new ones, I can't always read PC attachments, so often ask people to send stuff instead just by cutting and pasting and often they don't know how to do that

4:05 am

TrickyRic

oh i got that already lol, was thinking along the lines of hunting..

4:05 am

Book Doctor Gwen

Booktrakker, www.booktrakker.com

4:05 am

Eva

oh no tricky, we'd never want to hunt you

4:06 am

Ganja

not without seeing a pic first tricky haha

4:06 am

Book Doctor Gwen

eva, there are millions of people with computers who can ust barely send email and play solitaire. met one yesterday

4:06 am

Haz1558

No - we're reasonably tolerant - sometimes pushed over the edge!

4:06 am

TrickyRic

hmm inventory management... i'll have a think for you

4:06 am

TrickyRic

lolganja

4:07 am

Book Doctor Gwen

puters are still not 'intuitive' enough for the average person to use easily

4:07 am

Ganja

open office has something that is very similar to ms access or so i hear, havent played with it yet

4:08 am

Eva

I love my Mac. Have tried PC's a few times over the years and felt like taking an ax to them....the Mac is so, so much more user friendly-unless you want to do complex stock trading

4:09 am

TrickyRic

openoffice is a full productivity suite much like ms office but superior in many ways - such as native pdf export, 3d graphic tools, and a complete set of internationalisation packages.

4:09 am

Haz1558

'I love my Mac' - you'll not hear Heather Mills saying those words any more....

4:09 am

Eva

and as of a few weeks ago we have broadband here in the mountains! At least until the spring....not entirely clear what will happen once the trees leaf out, but am hoping for the best

4:09 am

Book Doctor Gwen

eva, agree completely. i use a pc only because i have to minimize compatibility issues

4:09 am

Eva

who is Heath Mills and who is her Mac?

4:10 am

Eva

and what did he do to her?

4:10 am

Haz1558

Heather Mills - Paul McCartney's wife - he's divorcing her after 4 years.

4:10 am

Eva

ah......

4:10 am

Haz1558

He did all sorts of things according to her!

4:11 am

Book Doctor Gwen

ono its celebrity divorce talk

4:11 am

Book Doctor Gwen

(running away with hands over ears, screaming)

4:11 am

Haz1558

No, just a play on words.

4:11 am

Eva

celebrities and computers equally alien speak to me.....now food talk, that's something I understand.

4:12 am

TrickyRic

lol

4:12 am

TrickyRic

i should probably learn food talk too... i really could eat my own words then"!

4:12 am

Eva

been stuck at 40 left for a looooong time

4:15 am

okay-think I'll try snoozing again. see you later

4:34 am

TrickyRic

well according to google - He** is the smallest of the Channel Islands that is open to the public. Cars are banned from the small island just like its Channel Island neighbour, Sark. Unlike Sark, bicycles are banned too. However, He** does allow quad bikes and tractors for the locals. The sandy white beaches make He** a walker's paradise

5:05 am

sunny09

I love the scottish language

5:05 am

Jacula

Haz - I have a dilemma; do I tackle the ironing or finish Babble?

5:05 am

Haz1558

Oh, finish Babble.

5:06 am

Jacula

Haz - you said it!;)

5:07 am

Haz1558

Once I find another 8 letter word, I will go and be a housewife.

5:08 am

Jacula

Haz, everyone, has a neat trick... She mops her floor in such a direction that she is trapped in her study and therefore 'must' stay by the pc until the floor's dry. Whilst there... well, she may as well be productive & Babble. :))))

5:08 am

Crone

anyone have mo8/55 or no7/32?

5:08 am

5:10 am

Jacula

Good idea, Haz.

5:10 am

herinfernallady

5:10 am

Haz1558

The name 'candlefish' comes from the fact that it gets so fat during spawning that it can be dried, strung on a wick and burned as a candle. The 'eu' words we are looking for are its name in Chinook language. It is a 'smelt', often known as a 'hooligan' in English.

Scrabbler

Good day Babblers!

Eva

mo8-think of kths' clue re a single eyeglass

7:15 am

Eva

rh8-weird one re raspy breath sounds I think

7:15 am

ho8 is what men blame women's moods on

7:15 am

Jacula

Hello Scrabbler.

7:15 am

Eva

ho8-what some of us of a certain age are running out of

7:15 am

P.J.

7:16 am

Scrabbler

Great icon, Jacula. That's how we feel sometimes.

7:16 am

Jacula

Ooer, I mean 'ho' words. Don't want to be misunderstood.

7:16 am

P.J.

I sware these letters jump right out of the keyboard!!

7:17 am

periwinkle

7:17 am

periwinkle

and got the ho8, toothanks

7:17 am

periwinkle

7:17 am

Jacula

Scrabbler - Thanks. The icon stemmed from ren8 saying, yesterday, that she was going to get her teeth into the grid.:)

7:17 am

kthdsn

mo8 means to do with monks

7:18 am

Ka&Ba

didn't realize monks were available?

7:18 am

Jacula

mo8 - Lady with the enigmatic smile + consonant + computer from '2001'.

7:20 am

Scrabbler

**returning after giving a rabbit a snack, after having ankles nipped** I am going to work on those eu ones next. TY for clues to ho8, rh8, and mo8.

7:20 am

remluc

jac - that's a great clue. Thanks!

7:20 am

periwinkle

thanks so much Jacula and knth, finally found the mo8

7:20 am

Eva

the rabbits nip your ankles? Is that how they show affection?

7:20 am

Jacula

y/w, remluc.

7:21 am

Scrabbler

That is how they get my attention.

7:21 am

periwinkle

Pleased that I remembered the name of the computer from "2001"

7:21 am

remluc

so am I peri!

7:21 am

Scrabbler

The rabbit that I sleep shows affection at 3 Am by putting his whiskers in my face.

7:22 am

Eva

very cute. Had a rabbit when I was a kid, and then a big white one named Goliath who terrorized the dogs by thumping. You sleep with a rabbit? Never heard of that before. I'm assuming it is box trained?

7:23 am

Jacula

I wouldn't sleep with any of my rabbits; they'd chew the bedclothes!

7:23 am

capemaggie

clue on the computer from 2001 pls

7:23 am

EvaNadine

mornin babblers!

7:23 am

Scrabbler

All of my bunnies are litter-box trained. They learn quite quickly. The one I sleep with is not a chewer.

7:24 am

Eva

you have rabbits too Jac?

7:24 am

Jacula

Morning, evan.

7:24 am

periwinkle

this is a tough grid

7:24 am

EvaNadine

nice country, jacula ;)

7:24 am

Jacula

Eva - Yes. Down to 4 rabbits now (used to be more) + 5 g/pigs.

7:24 am

Eva

morning evan

7:24 am

Eva

and don't you also have cats?

7:25 am

Jacula

Eva - Yes. The rabbits and piggies live in a big,heated shed. Not house pets.

7:25 am

kthdsn

scrabbler I'd love an indoor rabbit, do you think they would mix well with young children

7:26 am

Eva

Couldn't quite put the guinea pigs and cats together-except as diner and dinee.

7:26 am

Eva

any clues for the top o? I only have the resistance one

7:27 am

Scrabbler

Kate--it depends on the temperaments of the rabbit and the kids. My Netherland dwarf is quite docile. Some rabbits are bred to be more calm.

7:27 am

ursh

good afternoon/morning all back from work have another go still 73 to find

7:27 am

Scrabbler

I found 2 eu8's--are there more?

7:27 am

Jacula

capemaggie - Computer from '2001' - think of *** Miller (jazz musician), or Mr Gore with an extra letter at the front of his first name.

7:27 am

Scrabbler

Hi ursh

7:28 am

Eva

yews scrabbler-change th last vowel

7:28 am

Jacula

7:28 am

LoriP

7:30 am

Eva

7:30 am

Scrabbler

Got the eu9--I got all of the eu's with help from my Scrabble dictionary. Those are not words my monkey would find.

7:30 am

kthdsn

I was trying to think of a better way to clue them but failed

7:30 am

Scrabbler

I need another 9--any clues?

7:33 am

wurdygurl

7:33 am

7:34 am

wurdygurl

7:34 am

kthdsn

are there any strange Ls, I'm missing 3

7:34 am

wurdygurl

7:37 am

Scrabbler

TY Jacula!

7:38 am

Scrabbler

At first I thought Mollie was a lop-eared bunny, but on closer inspection she is a dog!

7:38 am

Jacula

kth - lu5/14 & plural 6/24 - to do with light. (There's also an re6 & 7 associated.) lu4/6 - Scottish word for chimneys. Are those them?

7:44 am

Scrabbler

Reschedule it--better for you and for the DDS and office staff.

7:44 am

Jacula

evan - Probably best to cancel. You might not be able to breathe with dental equipment in your mouth.

7:45 am

EvaNadine

yeah, i figured that would be the advice...
waited 6 months for this appt though...
*hrm*

7:45 am

Scrabbler

7:46 am

Jacula

Hello Mom.

7:46 am

kthdsn

Mom

7:47 am

Mom

Hi Kthdsn

7:47 am

EvaNadine

productivity, hmmm, wonder what that could be

1:12 pm

mattygroves

I think part of the problem is that whilst I run Babble in the background, it keeps updating, so it looks to the techies as if I'm on it constantly. Sigh

1:13 pm

Anniebrook

matty, get the techies to play babble and then the problem is solved---everyone will be addicted

AprilD

hi Jacula

5:40 pm

helenkeller

jacula - is that your country there? - babbleonia?

5:40 pm

We've been hated a lot longer than just the last 6 years." Oops. We need money. Long live the USA"

5:40 pm

AprilD

is that a good compromise?

5:40 pm

FranMag

Excellent compromise.

Jacula

Hell - Yup! That's Babbleonia.

5:41 pm

AprilD

ok so small puzzles, under 150, under 130, under 200? what would you all consider a small puzzle?

5:41 pm

Jacula

Under 200 is a small grid to me.

5:41 pm

AprilD

yesterday was small enough but took a LONG time

5:41 pm

FranMag

april, under 150

5:41 pm

mkl

Jacula. Are you the Prince Regent of Babbleonia?

5:42 pm

helenkeller

5:42 pm

Jacula

Mind you, I've got loads of 'proper' work done today, so I'm happy.

5:42 pm

AprilD

under 150 sounds about right Fran

5:42 pm

helenkeller

5:43 pm

AprilD

so thanks cluers and advisors alike. I am now off to do some 'proper' work

5:43 pm

Jacula

Hell - I didn't even know today's theme was countries and I can't really take credit for my icon being a map of Babbleonia. It was your idea... and a very good one, too. I made the icon yesterday after ren8 said she was 'getting her teeth into' the grid. LOL.

5:43 pm

FranMag

bye april!

5:43 pm

Jacula

'Bye April.

5:44 pm

Sorry Jacula. I guess you would be the heir apparent. Her royal highness, princess Jacula of Babbleonia. Has a nice ring to it.

5:44 pm

helenkeller

Haz1558

Definition of a babble addict - one who tries to see how many words you can get from Jacula's icon. All the laundry done? Are there pigs circling the blue moon?

6:01 pm

Jacula

Hi Haz. Truly! It IS all done AND ironed and put away.

6:01 pm

Sherylr1961

6:02 pm

Haz1558

Goodness, you have been busy today. And you got babble done in pretty smart time.

6:03 pm

Jacula

Hi Sheryl. ho7 & plural 8 is/are those things women have that men blame our strange moods on.

6:03 pm

Jacula

Haz - I haven't finished Babble... one word to go...

Sherylr1961

6:08 pm

aknitter

en 5 please

6:09 pm

Haz1558

The other s words are anagrams of each other - think of a sleeping Spanish gentleman

6:09 pm

Jacula

Hi aknitter. en5 - very large (short version).

6:10 pm

aknitter

hi jac, i have missed that before ty

6:10 pm

Jacula

Oh dear! Hunting Cat has brought home a raw chicken breast. I think he's been through someone's window and nicked their defrosting dinner.:(

6:11 pm

Jacula

(Hope it's not poisoned!):(

6:11 pm

aknitter

hahahaha love that cat!

6:11 pm

aknitter

a little take - out for dinner

6:11 pm

Haz1558

Do you not feed that poor starving creature?

6:12 pm

aknitter

what is with the eu words!!!!

6:12 pm

Jacula

Haz - We've been giving him extra food but it's made no difference!

6:13 pm

Jacula

aknitter - the eu words all mean the same thing (though the eu9 is a plural). Chinook word for candlefish/smelt/hooligan. Does that help??

6:13 pm

Haz1558

He must just love the thrill of the hunt. Though a raw chicken breast can't have given him much of a fight.

6:14 pm

aknitter

a chinook word? Good lord. Not fluent in chinook i must say

6:14 pm

Jacula

Haz - Been meaning to ask you if you (or hubby) has a table of food needed per cat (by cat's weight)? I mean, if you give half a tin at each of the 2 meals, that's 150g. One sachet, however, is only 100g serving per meal.

6:14 pm

aknitter

i found them though thanks to my chinook speaking monkey

6:15 pm

Jacula

aknitter - I knew you would!

6:15 pm

aknitter

jac please don't tell me you speak chinook (feels insignificant and very country bumpkin)

6:15 pm

Jacula

Haz - More of a fight than the 'fat ball' he nicked off someone's bird table last winter!

6:15 pm

Haz1558

There are probably tables of recommended amounts but I don't think cats pay much attention.

6:16 pm

Jacula

aknitter - I don't, but my friend Google does.;)

6:16 pm

Jacula

Haz - I think you're right.

6:16 pm

aknitter

lol

6:16 pm

Haz1558

A cat of wide-ranging food tastes. What did that do to his digestive system?

6:18 pm

Jacula

Haz - Well, cats love anything fatty (cheese, chicken skin etc.) If it had been Homely Cat that ate it, she would have brought it back over as wide an area in the house as possible. Hunting Cat seems to have a cast-iron stomach.

6:19 pm

aknitter

jac are their names really hunting cat and homely cat?

6:19 pm

Haz1558

In the words of Pollyanna, let's be glad Hunting boy got the fat rather than Homely Cat!

6:19 pm

Jacula

Oops! Kind of said a word in my last post.

6:19 pm

aknitter

more

6:19 pm

aknitter

oops

6:20 pm

Jacula

Haz - Homely Cat won't ever get fat 'cos Hunting Cat pinches her food every chance he gets!

6:20 pm

Jacula

aknitter - No! LOL. Homely Cat is Kira and Hunting Cat is Tiggsey.

6:21 pm

Jacula

However, when they weave around my legs when I'm trying to walk about, or shoot out so I trip over them, their names change to 'That Cooking Fat!' (think about it...) and other such names.

6:21 pm

aknitter

i was beginning to wonder what kind of cat mommy you were ! I have a friend with 2 rabbits -- cassie (short for casserole) and stewart AKA stew!!

6:22 pm

Jacula

aknitter - Aw! That's mean! It's like calling your pet lamb Mint Sauce or your little piggy Apple Sauce.

6:23 pm

aknitter

eeewwww

7:19 pm

emceleste

But it turns out that I have 100 left. :D So, it could be worse... hehe

7:19 pm

Eva

okay, so maybe I just think they're staring at me(-: Not many things I could not eat to be polite, but anchovies qualify.

7:19 pm

jillibus

I'm that way with kidneys, eva

7:19 pm

ExWren

Well, at last, I have Fireworks.

I cannot imagine swallowing an oyster/clam, anything of that ilk

7:25 pm

Jacula

Even pregnancy doesn't excuse peanut butter & pickles! LOL. Pregnancy no. 1, I crave fresh orange juice. (Son, child 1, now loves the stuff.) Pregnancy no. 2, I craved Perrier Water. (Daughter, child2, became anorectic at 12/13.) Well, we won't go into that.

7:25 pm

Makes you think though, doesn't it?

7:36 pm

LeslieAnn - I wish my teachers had thought that when they wrote my school reports.

7:36 pm

jillibus

Here's a boring food story. When I was about 9 and living in Shanghai, I got dysentery and had to go to hospital where I was fed red jelly and enemas and got to detest both. After I was cured I was invited to a birthday party where the "treat" was red jelly. I was aghast and asked my mother if I had to eat it to be polite because it made me feel sick. She murmured to the hostess, and thank goodness, I was excused and could ust enjoy the cake.

7:36 pm

arleneehm

I come from a large, poor family.. you ate what you were given or you went without

7:36 pm

Andree

I'm still not sure if the male stick insect spends 10 weeks sleeping around or, once he's found a mate, she's stuck with him (or to him) for 10 weeks. LOL.

7:58 pm

emceleste

Spiders are the worst... but I couldn't touch nunchie if she played with that shh...

7:58 pm

emceleste

that stick has no head. is that unusual? it still moves thogh?

7:58 pm

LeslieAnn

i was wondering if the male stick spends part of that time by himself.

7:58 pm

emceleste

I'm in california right now, so it's not a finnish stick bug (I don't think we have them in finland)

7:58 pm

evanonut

i think after ten weeks, i'd personally take his head off.

7:58 pm

Jacula

nut - I agree! LOL

7:59 pm

evanonut

i mean...he'd have nothing more to live for anyway right?

7:59 pm

Haz told us all something very funny a couple of days ago on here. Hope I remember it correctly. It seems the powers that be in Northern Ireland decided lots of official forms should be 'PC', and wanted to write them in all the known languages there, on of which is a Scots cum Irish language that is never seen written, only spoken. They came to a halt on that one when it came to a form about 'mentally disabled children'; it translated as 'Wee Daftie Weans'.

10:35 pm

helenkeller

10:35 pm

stidmama

I want to see "chicanery" in a grid one of these days...

10:35 pm

stidmama

we have had rain and wind off and on for two weeks helen! It's been interesting.

10:36 pm

stidmama

there has been serious flooding in some places, Seattle has had more than a foot of rain so far this month *sound of records shattering right and left* and we have more than a week to go...

10:37 pm

helenkeller

sounds exciting - we've just been kinda cold here

10:37 pm

luvmypom

stidmama, do you mind if I ask were you live? Is it in the Pacific NW?

10:37 pm

stidmama

I am glad that the worst we seem to experience has been a few hours without power.

10:38 pm

stidmama

yes, pom -- near Puget Sound

10:39 pm

luvmypom

We lived in Kent for two year. I worked in Pioneer Square. Used to park in the Kingdome parking lot! :) We also lived in Forks on the Olympic Penisula. So beautiful there.

10:39 pm

stidmama

right now, I think I would be okay with cold instead of rain... though usually I don't do well in it. My sister in law doesn't seem to mind, she just bundles up the kids and goes out anyway. Doesn't live IN chicago but near there.

10:39 pm

helenkeller

hiya pom!

10:40 pm

luvmypom

Hi Helen. How are you tonight? :)

10:40 pm

stidmama

:-) now the Kingdome parking lot is the baseball stadium and the Kingdome is the football stadium! Things have changed a bit... Forks is lovely! But right now, we're ALL soggy!

10:41 pm

stidmama

so pom, what was the draw in North Dakota? work?

10:42 pm

stidmama

I think it's one of the few contiguous states I haven't been through!

10:42 pm

luvmypom

I know -- it made me sad to see the dome go, but the new stadiums are nice. We've taken in several games at Safeco. It makes me sad to see all the flooding. My husband is a men's basketball coach and teacher at the university here. Don't know how this city girl ended up in ND Badlands. I guess someone has to live here! lol

10:43 pm

helenkeller

pom, good, tired, went to house warming yesterday where 2 poms (8 months & 11 weeks old) live & brought mine - it was a regular pom-fest!

10:44 pm

luvmypom

We have a 6 mo. old Brittany Spaniel who thinks she's a pom! lol When I get home she stands on her hind legs and dances like the girls do. :) Poms are so fun to watch play. We laugh all the time at them. :)

10:44 pm

luvmypom

I'll bet that 11 wk old was adorable!!

10:45 pm

stidmama

LOL sounds like powder puff power, gals!

10:46 pm

stidmama

so your husband must be a pretty tall fellow, pom! bet you don't need to climb on a chair to change lighbulbs!

10:47 pm

luvmypom

He's 6'4" and I'm only 5'4". Whenever I have to find something he had last I look up on the high place like on top of the fridge! lol

10:48 pm

luvmypom

It's also great for painting rooms -- no ladder needed. :)

10:49 pm

stidmama

*grin* well, if you come this-away again, let me know! I have some light fixtures that want dusting...

10:49 pm

helenkeller

yeah - the baby was a reall cutie - with a huge personality!

10:49 pm

luvmypom

Sure thing stid! lol
