FranMag

12:15 am

stidmama

ROFL!!!! I have front-wheel drive vehicles for steering control, but people over here get 4WD and then forget it doesn't help them, STOP!

12:16 am

helenkeller

melon - so it all went well, then?

12:16 am

kierlex

yeah, it doesn't do much on ice. this was in snow, though. can you believe it? i mean it's not rocket science...

12:17 am

mrpresident

we haven't had an 11 letter for ever!

12:17 am

kierlex

i asked him if they guy was driving a Humvee but he was only driving a ford explorer... i can't believe all the hummers over here. ridiculous

12:17 am

stidmama

well it might as well be, for some people! (rocket science, that is) and an ex-boyfriend of mine really is a rocket scientist... LOL so I have something for comparison!

12:18 am

melonheadjujube

almostest {sigh} - my phantom is anisette - my favorite after dinner sip.

12:18 am

stidmama

lots of people with more money than brains, kierlex, not like us, the virtuous "more brains than money" types!

12:18 am

stidmama

*just realizing that might give people the impression I live in a cardboard box with my brains*

12:18 am

kierlex

i love it over here/seattle area but i couldn't handle the traffic. or the cost of food, for godsakes milk costs twice as much!

12:18 am

hurshy

hey ata, obi wan's here too :)

12:18 am

kierlex

yes, i will always have more brains than money. LOL.

12:19 am

stidmama

yes, prices in Seattle are scary. Other westside places aren't that bad, but it's still more expensive than the other side of the mountains. In my humble opinion, worth every penny! LOL

12:50 am

FranMag

:-)

12:50 am

helenkeller

lol fran

12:50 am

kierlex

fonix for dumeez

12:51 am

joey

i did the thing with the cornea and the contacs. both eyes. hospital, blindfolds, no sight for over a week.

12:51 am

FranMag

it probably increases your vocabulary, but with all the alt spellings you'll confuse other people.

12:51 am

joey

oh, and hurts like hell

12:51 am

Babs1

owee!!!

12:51 am

kierlex

hmmm. that sounds awful, joey. actually, i would like to get appendicitis or something so i could take some time off work. LOL i know that sounds weird.

12:51 am

FranMag

oh joey! were you able to go back to contact lenses?

12:51 am

kierlex

ok. it is weird.

12:52 am

Babs1

be careful kierlex what you wish for!

12:52 am

joey

doctor said sure, just use eye drops. 3 months later the same thing. haven't worn contacs in over 20 years

12:52 am

helenkeller

omg joey!

12:52 am

helenkeller

no - and it happened AGAIN? !!!!

12:53 am

joey

kier - pick something less painful than the eyes. try back spasms. works for basketball players.

12:53 am

kierlex

my hub had his appendix out last may, didn't seem too bad... and he got to take a week off and people fussed over him =)

12:53 am

kierlex

of course, he woudln't fuss over me...

12:53 am

FranMag

i haven't worn contacts for a while, now all these stories are scaring me!

12:53 am

joey

i was putting drops in every hour. the second time out it was not as bad.

12:54 am

FranMag

yeah i was going to say kier, it's not the same when mom is sick or immobile.

12:54 am

kierlex

the contacts they make now are a LOT friendlier to the eye

12:55 am

kierlex

My hubby is the worst nurse EVER. I was on bedrest for 3 months when I was preggo with baby 2 and I wanted to kill him.

12:55 am

joey

i agree, but i won't try it. had cataract surgery on one eye, it is strong enough that i don't need glasses any more except to see close

moby Dick is in a zillion short chapters. i read it, 1 chap per night (oh, that sounds ALL wrong!) - ahem, 1 chapter per night over a period of months. i had to remind myself that there would be no exam, to just get in and enjoy it. There is a lot of humor. Melville's short stories are good too.

3:33 am

Eva

just saw a good clue for the he 10 & 11 combo-like the usual h word for living in a place but with he instead of ha-a verb and then the noun from the veryb

3:33 am

monkeeboi

there is a 8, 10, and 11 based off a he4/7...

3:34 am

Haz1558

he 10 and he11 - extend the he8 to give the plant plus the ending given to a place where trains leave from (last 6 letters) then plural.

3:37 am

Haz1558

ni8 - nearing twenty

3:40 am

3:41 am

Haz1558

There's another fe8/9 combination, looks like the beginning of a celebration combined with the ending of the he10

3:42 am

Eva

haz-do you mean that there are 2 fe8&9 combos?

3:43 am

Haz1558

No, not necessarily, the another refers to the 8/9 combo rather than to the fe part of it.

3:43 am

Eva

thank god! Have one, but couldn't see another!

3:44 am

Haz1558

Sorry Eva to put you through torture!

4:22 am

seano216k

yesterday he spent an hour throwing a paper aeroplane round the place....doesn't he know how much these toys cost ;-)

4:23 am

Haz1558

For pity's sake don't be telling the shops or they will be selling expensive, empty boxes called 'Play potential'.

4:23 am

seano216k

i will try and put a photo of him in his superman costume as my icon....wait one!

4:23 am

sprite

isn't it wonderful that kids can be satisfied with such small things :D

4:24 am

FranMag

it's too late haz, they are already selling playhouses made from cardboard.

4:24 am

seano216k

LOL Haz..nice marketing strategy

4:25 am

Haz1558

They should get real estate agents involved in marketing toys. They see the potential in everything.

4:26 am

FranMag

fmitch, i hope you noticed your greek cheese today

4:26 am

FMitch

I can't believe I have missed that Fran!

4:27 am

4:28 am

4:28 am

sprite

Fran - you say the an8/9 builds from the cheese?

4:28 am

FranMag

dezyon

te7 = tightness, a type of headache caused by stress

4:29 am

Andree

so cute seano

4:29 am

sprite

lol, glad I checked, I took your entry quite the wrong way :)

4:29 am

FMitch

If I am honest I hadn't noticed the top f at all, someone send me a fish it might wake me up :)

4:29 am

FranMag

lol, i just realized how you read it!

4:30 am

FranMag

what a cuty seano!

4:30 am

sprite

It was fun though, trying to connect that an with the cheese :)

4:30 am

Andree

nothing changes does it , I remember my youngest who is now 32 wearing a superman outfit day in and day out

4:30 am

FranMag

thanks eva, i totally overlooked the greek temple(s)

4:30 am

sprite

seano, he is adorable :)

4:30 am

FranMag

i'm sure you were thinking i was out of my mind sprite!

4:31 am

seano216k

you're too kind...he has his moments though ;-)

4:31 am

sprite

Of course not Fran, I was thinking I was on the brink of learning a new word!

4:31 am

sprite

Spoken as a proud father, seano! :)

4:31 am

Andree

thx for te clue

4:32 am

FranMag

there is a word that was brand new to a lot of people (including me), the sh7/40, an interesting one, both the word and the definition.

4:33 am

Haz1558

Ah, a familiar word in these parts.....

4:33 am

sprite

Oh, I need to see that word! *starts hunting*

4:33 am

FranMag

i had a feeling you would know it haz.

4:33 am

JFB

Joined in with MVA on Christmas day but didn't get round to it yesterday

4:34 am

FranMag

across the pond i guess it would be the same as a "speakeasy"

4:34 am

Haz1558

I've made it sound as though illegal drinking dens are everywhere - it's not quite that bad!

4:34 am

Eva

thanks Fran. Knew the word (nifcec one isn't it?), but hadn't noticed it

4:35 am

FranMag

cool eva!

4:36 am

ursh

That sh7 is a very common word in SA

4:36 am

sprite

Is it like one of those impossible yiddish word?

4:36 am

FranMag

it's sort of a compound word sprite

4:36 am

Eva

no-more like one of those impossible irish words I think

4:36 am

FranMag

at least the two parts are words on their own.

4:36 am

Haz1558

It's a combination of a female pronoun and a past participle of 'to be'

4:37 am

dezyon

not male, not a pea

4:38 am

sprite

that was a perfect clue :) Got the word, now I want the meaning *click*
Thanks for the help!

4:38 am

FranMag

that's what's so great about babble, with people all over the world, there are really no words that someone wouldn't know.

4:38 am

sprite

Great! I justified my babbling for today, right?

4:39 am

FranMag

any day you learn a new word is a good day!

4:40 am

Haz1558

Sprite - the first syllable is proounced like french 'je' and the emphasis is on the second syllable.

4:40 am

Andree

thats everyday fran, remembering them is another matter

4:41 am

FranMag

that's true andree!

4:41 am

sprite

Darn, I only now see that there are REAL biggies in this grid :)
It is a pretty word, that Sh7, glad I have learned it.

4:50 am

sprite

Actually, they are from german. The 3rd letter was an Umlaut in the original spelling. In Holland we have the same name for the apparatus that blows your hair dry :)

4:50 am

ursh

I have thought of making a list of strange words - but i dont have a big enough notebook

4:50 am

FranMag

makes sense sprite, def says a warm dry wind

4:51 am

sprite

Yes, I am sure that is what we stole it from, Fran!

4:53 am

Haz1558

Blowing hair dry reminds me that I should really do something about achieving a state of clothed cleanliness. Back soon.....

4:53 am

FranMag

stole is such a strong word sprite, you "adapted" it. :-)

4:53 am

sprite

Now I feel guilty!

4:54 am

FranMag

oh my, does that mean haz was babbling in unclean nakedness?

4:54 am

sprite

Ah but Fran, Dutch is full of stolen words. We even have words to define which language we stole them from... like germanism, romanism...

4:54 am

sprite

I am pretty sure that Haz can be naked, but never unclean ;)

The other sh7 is the illegal drinking den spoken of before (sh7/40)

5:25 am

JMann

ursh - the first one is a compound word = not a he but a SH* + what you make coffee from (spelled differently) (also a form of the word to be)

5:25 am

A most unusual word Haz!

any clues on the WE 7/48

5:31 am

Haz1558

Does being rubbish at sewing not count as a vice?

5:31 am

FranMag

jmann, not quite dry

5:32 am

Haz1558

we7/48 - not completly dry, an approximate description

5:32 am

Haz1558

completely (the typing is getting worse as well)

5:32 am

sherb

well, she does get a bit irritated when people give really simple clues... but since that has many of us snorting fire, Haz is a paragon of restraint by comparison...

...will have to ponder this one further...

5:33 am

Haz1558

A BIT irritated? You haven't seen me throwing things at the screen......

i have 14 left with just my monkeys and the chat log, so much better than yesterday's.

5:37 am

sherb

44 to go ... but none of the biggies yet... hoping to come across them by chance... another in my long list of pet hates is when people arrive and ask for clues to the big words straightaway... have they never heard of delayed gratification?

5:38 am

miametro

wow. i haven't played for so long and i've completely lost my touch, lol. 135 still to find!

5:38 am

Haz1558

I know, sherb - I like to build up to finding the big words eventually.

movieman

jmann - sounds like a type of shellfish......

7:40 am

Merk

ro 6 rhymes with putting a car on a ho*** and raising it in the air. Add an ending.

7:40 am

JMann

merk - a list of people's names (similar to a male chicken, but without the double vowel)

Faerie

sorry about your luck there Ata...I can just open my backdoor now and let my dog walk himself (*^_^*)

7:47 am

M.P.

LOL again, Ata ... of course, we all knew you had a connection with a dog, but him/her dragging you out there ... funny.

7:47 am

JMann

TE 5/12 = wow that guy has great P**S ( chest muscles) + **KE me out to the ballgame

7:48 am

M.P.

Technically she was a pretty fancy bad smell, too, but that doesn't seem to have occurred to her.

I can't decide if the definition of the 11 fits what happens to you when you play Babble or if it describes the inability to complete the grid. Works either way...

Ack. Company, and 1 word to go. :( Will have to come back later. Have a good morning all!

9:32 am

Inge2

bye, Lori

9:36 am

Atalante

grrrrrrrrrrr can I rant for a moment?

9:36 am

smooth_pappa

ok 45 to go... time to hit the showers, though. Be backl in a sec

9:36 am

Vicuna

the long he's mean to make dull or blunt, but you'll never have heard of the words. They start with the he4/7 before them, and then add the Modern Art gallery in London for the 8, and make it into a noun and a noun pl for 10 and 11.

9:36 am

Vicuna

Rant away, Ata!

9:37 am

Scarlet

Good morning, all. Rant to your heart's content, At

9:38 am

Atalante

there's a monthly art thing I take part in, with a monthly theme for "contest" entries. A recently proposed theme is "lovers". People go yay and start talking about every lover they can think of. All man and woman. So I say what about homosexual lovers? Is that being allowed and if so, at what degree of "passion"? And the first reply was from someone I dislike anyway and all she wrote was

"EWWWWWW!!!!!

Well, I supposed it takes all kinds to make the world go round, as they say."

Are people still really that homophobic??

9:38 am

Inge2

wow, good clues, Vicuna, and you're right; never ever heard of those words

9:39 am

Angela

morning everyone - yes, aparently there are still people out there. many of them here in new england :)

9:39 am

Inge2

Some are still very threatened by it, Atalante.

9:39 am

flosey

good morning all, today is a babbler's birthday, does anyone know who it is - memory fails me

9:39 am

BabbleRabble

I asked my rock about that, Atalante, and it said human sexuality is so ewwwwwww.

9:40 am

Atalante

I have no personal wish to draw homosexual lovers, but I'm damn well going to make sure other people can if they want to!

9:40 am

Atalante

that makes sense, angela - she lives in Massachusetts

9:40 am

Scarlet

Yes, the world at large is still so homophobic that here in Asheville, there are "recovery" groups to change the God-given gifts of local individuals. Here in the south, Angela, we can give your population a run for its money. Sad and pathetic...

9:40 am

Plucko

hello, has everyone had a nice christmas?

9:41 am

BabbleRabble

When was Christmas?

9:41 am

harpjane

I'm going to use he8 in a sentence today

9:42 am

Scarlet

Hi, BR... why did Christmas pass you by?

9:42 am

jas03001

bottom row

9:42 am

Angela

My parents raised me to respect everyone, not just people who I agree with or have the most in common with. Not fair. People are born that way and they cannot change that any more than I can change the fact that I'm Italian. Just my opinion.

9:43 am

Atalante

too right, Angela

9:43 am

BabbleRabble

Hello, Scarlet..... I guess I just didn't participate

9:43 am

Vicuna

(Oops, missed your rant, Ata.) Yes, penty of homophobia going around. And I think the "eeew" factor is huge. Lots of people are willing to live and let live as long as they don't have to see it or think about it. But as soon as you draw a picture of it, they freak out.

9:43 am

pabtrek

so harp would you say what a he8

9:43 am

flosey

Oh, may I mention a wedding we attended last Fall - 2 of the dearest men you would ever want to know, had a wedding Thanksgiving weekend - it was the happiest occasion you would ever want to attend - I've never seen people at a wedding mix and mingle so beautifully - everyone was very friendly and mixing just beautifully - two lovelier people you would never hope to find

9:43 am

remluc

Atalante - I applaud your ability to think of others and to try to include everyone. The world would be a better place if everyone thought of others once in a while. The day will come when people are more open-minded....right?

9:43 am

Scarlet

Right on, Angela. We are who we are, and if we don't accept the green people, the polka-dotted people and the people who have made true contributions to this planet... then we are bereft, hollow and shallow.

9:44 am

Atalante

hopefully, remluc! And I'm soooo tempted to draw the most flagrantly romantic picture of two men for this art thing now

9:44 am

BabbleRabble

Hello, flosey.... hope you had a good rest after yesterday's grid ordeal.

9:44 am

Angela

Exactly. If we start weeding out the "different" ones...soon, there will be no one left. Or they will all be in concentration camps.

9:45 am

Angela

I think you should Atalante. Just for giggles.

9:45 am

Atalante

and show me a normal person anyway .....

9:45 am

Vicuna

Remember, though, and this is hard, that tolerance includes trying to reach out to homophobes, too. Educate them instead of demonizing them in their turn.

9:45 am

Scarlet

My husband and I were involved in a wedding a few years ago, and I was the "Best Woman" for two amazing men who felt committed enough to be married... it was an extraordinary celebration.

9:45 am

flosey

thanks you Babble - it really was horrendous wasn't it! Took hours - fortunately we had the time yesterday - hubby helped me

9:46 am

harpjane

One of the most memorable photographs I've ever seen was of two couples in a park in San Francisco. One was an older couple, eating lunch and holding hands. In the foreground were two men, sitting on a blanket, sort of leaning into each other, looking into each other's eyes tenderly....

9:46 am

Atalante

I think I will! actually, what I might do is just draw a close up of lips kissing or something, and just say they are 2 men or 2 women in the blurb under the photo

9:46 am

BabbleRabble

I am always the most normal person sitting in my chair when I am sitting there.

9:46 am

Atalante

very very true Vi ... I'm just all *pointy* and grrrrr about it at the moment!

9:47 am

Angela

I actually like doing that Vicuna - my friend Kristy and I go out shopping and they find out later that she has a girlfriend and the look on some faces is just priceless. Apparently, she looks "normal". Cracks me up.

9:47 am

Vicuna

Oh, Ata, I didn't for a moment suggest you shouldn't rant and vent! lol That's important, too!

9:47 am

harpjane

I've been playing at weddings for over 20 years, and I've yet to be asked to play at a gay wedding. One of my best friend's daughter married another woman, but they didn't want music...

9:47 am

Atalante

I know, but your point is very important too!

9:47 am

Scarlet

Ata, why not the "prelude to a kiss"... the anticipation of a physical connection without the actual contact?

9:47 am

Inge2

Normal, lol, we are all on a spectrum, no?

9:47 am

Angela

great idea Ata - sounds perfect!

9:48 am

harpjane

my first though, of Lovers, would be a couple in a nursing home, one of them feeding the other

9:48 am

Angela

no music Harp? Not even Babaloo???

9:48 am

harpjane

first thought

9:48 am

Atalante

that sounds a beautiful photo, harpjane, I'd like to see that

9:49 am

Atalante

oh now that is a wonderful idea! every month I try to do something different than the "normal" (haha) for each theme

9:49 am

Angela

a New Year's resolution Ata!

9:49 am

harpjane

not even zip a dee doo dah!

9:50 am

Angela

wow - sounds sad to me! You've got to boogie, as they say!

9:50 am

Atalante

oh Vi - this you will love - http://innocenceburning.deviantart.com
/gallery/ - he does amazing linocut work. take a look!

9:50 am

Vicuna

Many homophobes (of whom my father-in-law is an example) have never knowingly met a gay person, let alone knowing a gay couple well enough to recognize that they are perfectly capable of meaningful relationships with each other and with God.

9:50 am

Atalante

noooo that's sad! music is part of the celebration

9:50 am

Vicuna

Okay, I'm checking it out...

9:50 am

kc8501

harpjane, my sister worked in a nursing home for a while, one of her saddest stories was the woman that was there and her husband, that showed up and did EVERYTHING for her every day. He told the nurses "she's taken care of me for 50 years, now I'm taking care of her"

9:50 am

harpjane

just got the he6, it fits right in with the conversation

9:51 am

Angela

Vicuna - A lawyer I worked for is all for gay marriage. He said he will get double the business :)

9:51 am

Atalante

LOL Angela! :)

9:51 am

harpjane

kc8501, I don't find that sad, as long as they are both willing participants.

9:51 am

flosey

thanks Harpjane, my first word

9:52 am

flosey

now, on with the puzzle

9:52 am

kc8501

well, the woman wasn't really "with it" and he did it till she died. verra sad

9:53 am

Atalante

my gran did the same for my grandfather. travelled 2 hours or more each day to be with him in his nursing home for 7 years. every day.

9:53 am

harpjane

my husband and I "joke" about how we're in between aging parents now, three have passed away and one is just beginning the slippery slope of senility. She says "dementia isn't all that bad, you meet new people every day!"

9:53 am

Angela

I already told my husband when I'm dead - they shall creamate me and he will wear me in an urn around his neck. We'll see if he ever gets a date after I'M gone!!

9:53 am

Flask1

Hi everyone!

9:54 am

Flask1

Are we all happy and well??

9:54 am

hey flask

9:54 am

9:54 am

Book Doctor Gwen

mornin', afternoon all!

9:56 am

wurdygurl

laughingly i told my friends that wwhen i die and get creamated they are to take me shopping in all the stores i could never afford and just dip into the urn every now and then and send me on my way

9:56 am

Inge2

lol

9:56 am

Atalante

LOL

9:57 am

Angela

my father in law wanted his ashes spread over the Tasman glacier in New Zealand. He's been gone for 7 years now but someday I guess we'll get there!

9:57 am

Angela

you crack me up wurdy - you sound just like a friend of mine!

9:58 am

wurdygurl

i have a very warped sense of humor

That's pretty far from Massachusetts, Angela!

9:59 am

Angela

9:59 am

Inge2 - we have friends there so it won't be so bad, it's just taking a month or so off to do it is the problem :)

10:00 am

im going to go eat lucke, this day cant get any more boring here.

10:01 am

Angela

welcome back smooth - you sure did!

10:01 am

Atalante

is a man's view on the subject any different from our general girlies view/

10:01 am

Atalante

?

10:01 am

Vicuna

What a variety of media on that page, Ata! I like to dabble in many media, but I don't consider much of them fit for showing to strangers! I especially like the rudbeckia (predictably). thanks for passing along the link.

10:02 am

smooth_pappa

ata, on which poiint? the cremation?

10:02 am

Angela

interesting question ata...

10:02 am

Atalante

I thought you'd like a look at that!

10:02 am

Atalante

let's go for all subjects :) cremation, gay lovers, anything else you feel like telling us about!

10:03 am

smooth_pappa

HA! I'm sure different men have different views, as well as different women. lol

10:03 am

Vicuna

I reckon all rites for the dead are for the benefit of the living. So I tell my husband if I die first he can do whatever makes him feel better.

10:03 am

Inge2

I agree, Vicuna

10:03 am

Vicuna

You mean you're not willing to speak for half of all humanity, smooth?

10:04 am

Inge2

There is a wise man

10:04 am

smooth_pappa

in my family, no one has really had any after death requests. I mean... no one even really prefers burial over cremation or visa versa. We've always thought that since we'll be dead, we won't care a whole lot.

10:04 am

Angela

my father in law didn't want anything but he was the mayor here for years and always in politics, so we did something more for everyone else.

10:04 am

speedfreak

My family is threatening to cremate me and put me by the washing machine so I feel like I never left!!

10:04 am

smooth_pappa

oh, I'd love the opportunity vicuna. ;)

10:04 am

Angela

smooth - don't be chicken! spill it!

10:04 am

Angela

lol

10:04 am

Book Doctor Gwen

cremation? i'm having trouble finding it in the grid LOL

10:04 am

smooth_pappa

HA!

10:04 am

Angela

eeeeeeww speedfreak!

10:04 am

Atalante

go for it LOL we'll sit and listen raptly!

10:05 am

smooth_pappa

haha speed.

10:05 am

Vicuna

Well better to cremate you before putting you by the washing machine than, say mummifying you first!

10:05 am

Angela

double ew Vic!

10:05 am

smooth_pappa

that's it! that's what I want them to do to me... mummify me!

10:06 am

Vicuna

And if you play Babble long enough, they won't even have to take your brains out through your nose first!

10:06 am

Atalante

brains sucked out through the nose? no thanks!!

10:06 am

Atalante

great minds think alike, Vi!

10:07 am

Vicuna

A little knowledge of mummification is a dangerous thing!

10:07 am

smooth_pappa

maybe... if there are any glaciers left, they could hide me in one, to be found a 1000 years from now. ;)

10:08 am

Angela

I just harken back to the days of "the worms crawl in...the worms crawl out" and KNOW that I will be creamated!

10:08 am

Angela

*cremated*

10:09 am

Atalante

and I'm completely the opposite! I *hate* the idea of cremation and demand to be buried! Its the biologist in me or something

10:09 am

Vicuna

"The worms play penuchle on your snout!"

10:09 am

Vicuna

(If that's how to spell "penuchle." I have no idea!)

10:10 am

speedfreak

angela I'm with you the thought of all those bugs eating away at me I would rather be burned

10:10 am

Angela

it's just such an ishy thought!! *shudder*

10:11 am

thank you Tof

10:11 am

Angela

*Tor* Sorry, can't spell today

10:11 am

Vicuna

I don't mind the bugs. Everyone has to eat! But burials do clutter up the landscape, and I'm such an indifferent housekeeper now that I'd just as soon be tidy for eternity.

10:11 am

torgone

s'ok . .

10:12 am

gracewer

clue for the last ba 6/24 please

10:12 am

Angela

There is definitely a lot of prime real estate wasted on the dead

10:12 am

Vicuna

My last ba6/24 is what gets baked into a cake, but I could be missing one or more.

10:13 am

gracewer

thanks

10:13 am

LoriP

Back for my missing last word.

10:13 am

BabbleRabble

The trappings and traditions of the dead are more for the living. My instructions upon my death are to be cremated with no ceremony performed and no final resting place. I would like my ashes deposited with new growth, hopefully to help it make its to strong and healthy.

10:13 am

roncook

ba6/24 cook it around your fish

10:13 am

hello, does anyone have a clue for et 6? Thank you>

10:14 am

Angela

good for you babble.

10:14 am

Atalante

they are, Haz. and beautiful too (sometimes)

10:14 am

But Rabble, what if the living want to do something else when you die?

10:14 am

roncook

well done babble a good drop of organic bone meal

10:14 am

Haz1558

et6 - put an negative word into the following et4/5

10:14 am

Angela

yeah, but the builder side of me loves a lovely rolling hill with a nice view. tell me, why on earth do most cemetaries HAVE a view anyway??

10:14 am

Vicuna

That's true, Haz. Maybe it's selfish not to have a fancy tomb that other people will get to explore later!

10:14 am

BabbleRabble

I have chosen a representative that will honor my wishes.

10:15 am

Enomis65

ty haz!

10:15 am

Haz1558

You're welcome!

10:15 am

Vicuna

My point, Rabble, is that if you're dead, and trappings are, as you say, for the living, why should your wishes be honored over those of the living?

10:16 am

Haz1558

Because you can't rely on the living to have good taste.....

10:16 am

BabbleRabble

Because it is my life and my body

10:16 am

Angela

*looks across the court for BabbleRabble's rebuttal*

okay you guys make me nervous w/all this talk of death and such. I'M NOT GOING!

If the Victorians didn't have such bad taste, many graveyards wouldn't be nearly so interesting!

I don't think he's going to be able to get me this damned money, and without money I'm stuck here. My dad says I can't go stay with them unless I have some money to arrive with and I've paid my debts off here. I guess I know he's right, it wouldn't work if I arrived with nothing, but I don't know how the hell I'm meant to manage here either, I feel totally stuck

10:25 am

BA 7 + baseball *** + it ** what it ** + ** he (laugh)

Thanks smooth. Got it.

Could I please have a clue for the first t/5/12, between? It's my last one and it's driving me nuts...

10:33 am

LoriP

Haz, I tell ya', I'm a million shades of red.......

10:33 am

Haz1558

Well done Lori!!

10:33 am

Kateq

TY! swore I tried that earlier!

10:33 am

Angela

*shudder* rabbits? ew...

10:33 am

Haz1558

Sounds like you might need one of those cardiac devices, Lori.....

10:34 am

Haz1558

te5/12 - shortened form of private eye, then baby thanks.

10:34 am

Vicuna

Angela, I understood "ew" for worms playing pinochle on your snout, but what's "ew" about rabbits?

10:34 am

LoriP

Throw in a little sumpin' for the brain, and I'll take that deal Haz!

10:34 am

gramma

SH7/40? please

10:35 am

Haz1558

sh7/40 -illegal Irish drinking den. (The very idea!)

10:35 am

Angela

evil little creatures... my own issues though - got bit

10:35 am

LoriP

sh = not a he but a ** + a has **** actor

10:35 am

jan

Thanks Haz!! Fireworks finally...

10:35 am

sugar

hi guys, hope you all had a good xmas? can anyone help with ro5/10 - it's driving me nuts!!!!

10:36 am

Haz1558

It's constructed with a female pronoun and a vegetable sound alike verb form of 'to be'

10:36 am

mattygroves

What the heck does THAT mean, Lori?

10:36 am

LoriP

Congrats jan!

10:36 am

mattygroves

Good god - there's an 11...

10:36 am

Inge2

you have the plural of ro4/4 sugar?

10:36 am

Angela

yayayayaya Jan!

10:36 am

Haz1558

ro5/10 - used with violin strings etc, ro plus biblical wrongdoing.

10:36 am

Enomis65

10:36 am

gramma

OHHHH of course. What was I thinking ? I use that word all the time. TY

10:37 am

sugar

yes Inge, it's the other one that I need, tx

10:37 am

LoriP

matty, the fact that I omitted a *, or the word......? (I better give up, and not give clues)

10:37 am

jan

Ro/5 is a sticky substance that violinists use on their strings, I think. It is spelled rather like the word for pine tar.

10:37 am

Haz1558

br6 - the air you need to live

10:37 am

Vicuna

Well, that still sounds more like an "aargh" than an "ew," Angela! But then you'll be pleased to consider that the shares of rabbits for Heifer Preject will assuredly be bitten in their turn!

10:37 am

Inge2

ro5/10: what you put on your violin bow

10:38 am

sugar

tx all, need to think about it..........

10:38 am

Enomis65

ty haz - guess i forgot to br*****!

10:38 am

Haz1558

Don't forget the following br7/40 words.

10:38 am

Angela

makes me feel better Vi - thanks! It's their eyes and I always feel like they're looking at me like a cocktail wiener or something.

10:38 am

Inge2

like the word for hardened pine sap, sugar, with a different first vowel

10:38 am

jan

Just looked up the sh/7/40--it's a Scottish word for a house where whiskey is illegally sold. So, that'll be fun to work into casual conversation today..,

10:39 am

sugar

Got it ! Thanks for your help everyone! Fireworks for me.

10:42 am

Haz1558

matty - obese people in denial blame water re10 for their problems.

10:42 am

10:43 am

Wow ty for that word Haz

10:43 am

10:43 am

mattygroves

Oooh - thanks Stid - got the 10 (and one of the 9s) now, thanks to you!

10:43 am

Vicuna

You're hardly obese, anyway, stidmama!

10:44 am

You hardly qualify for the obese label, though, stidmama!

10:44 am

featherbee

that's ok, i'm starting out lighter than when i did with daniel, so i have room to spare right now. thank goodness! ;)

10:45 am

For me it was not the weight that was the problem, it's the shape!

10:45 am

featherbee

how's the grid?

10:45 am

Haz1558

It's a nice grid today.

10:45 am

stidmama

10:45 am

I still blame the weight on the pregnancies even though my boys are 18 and 20!!!

10:45 am

stidmama

not horrible yet feather, I am halfway

10:46 am

mattygroves

I'm dieting - lost three pounds the week before Xmas - I dread to think of what it is now, though.

10:46 am

featherbee

if i keep eating a second breakfast to keep the morning sickness at bay, i'm going to be in real trouble....i'm hoping this will ease off in a few weeks!

10:47 am

stidmama

wow matty -- why dieting? I gave up dieting and now just try to focus on "lightweight" foods...

10:47 am

Enomis65

1st ta 5?

10:48 am

stidmama

feather, I ate little bits throughout the day with both, but my illness lasted the whole time with them, no "first three months" limit! which explains some of the weight gain.

10:50 am

Haz1558

Hello smaller - if you have the he4/7 (garden plant) add the art gallery in London, or the Jodie Foster Little Man. for he8/55

10:50 am

stidmama

oh boy... daniel's learning the power of slapstick. watch out, world!

10:50 am

Haz1558

Once you have the he8 - take off the last vowel and replace with a charged particle. Plural for he11/112

Magical Trevor 2 Lyrics

He's back and he's got a new trick,
Magical Trevor is ten times as slick,

As the last time, the last time you saw him
Now you can see why we really adore him

You might think his new trick is sick,
Sawing a pigeon in half with a stick.
Look at the pigeon, now it's in two.
Oh my, its rear end is having a poo.

Look at the mess in aisle two.
Aisle two, that's the place where we saw the Ragu
There's so much Ragu...

Magical Trevor 3
Magical Trevor is here for the day,
we all love him, its safe to say.
It's 12 PM so he starts with a thriller,
he's gonna do tricks with a chinchilla.
Covers it up with his magical cloak,
gets out some petrol and gives it a soak.
Look out kids, he's playing with matches,
he better be careful in case that cloak catches
on fire. Oh no, the cloak is on fire.
Its turning to ashes with our furry friend,
when will this horror finally end?
Oh look its okay well that was amazin',
the chinchilla's just fine but now its turned into a raisin.
Shame no one's watching, put this in you journal.
Dear Diary, chinchillas sure are nocturnal.
Check up your animal facts next time Trevor
Ooh. You sure get nice coats at "World of Leather".

There should be some method of getting rid of tardy visitors so that you can get back to the grid. We were tickled to learn that Empress Maria Theresa chose her candles on the basis of how long an evening she wanted to spend with her guests. Long candles for friends, shorter candles for politicians. When the light goes, you have to go....
