Flask when is his birthday my youngest daughter will be 30 on Feb.17th.

Flask1

Feb 20th Hodag!

3:46 am

Flask1

yes....just 10 miles north of the broder

3:46 am

Haz1558

so9 - first four letters to do with sisters, (opposite of fraternity) then the remaining letters look like plural female siblings, but shortened.

3:46 am

rolin

hmm...could make commuting from london a tad difficult..lol

3:47 am

P.J.

my youngest grandaughter will be two on the 21st.....

3:47 am

Haz1558

so7/28 is the singular

3:48 am

don't understand the sisters part Haz!

3:49 am

Flask1

Oh Rolin......true love knows no bounds....lolol

3:49 am

3:49 am

P.J.

I wish we could have one BIG party!!!!lol

3:50 am

Flask1

would be great Hodag!

3:50 am

Haz1558

Flask - it's based on the latin for sister. Have you heard of fraternity houses in the States, the opposite is what you're looking for. It sounds like a word for sadness.

3:51 am

FranMag

flask, lynxxx' clued helped me too, sounds like disease of the liver although the spelling is different

3:52 am

Haz1558

so7/28 - Rearrange the letters of the australian jumpers, (minus kanga) then add a shortened female sibling. The so9 is the plural.

3:53 am

4:21 am

Haz1558

The Chieftains can give Tom Jones a run for his money with their looks.

4:22 am

Haz1558

They are brilliant musicians, but can you see the looks on the faces of the judges if they turned up for any of these 'reality' talent shows?

4:22 am

Angb

Haha Haz.

4:22 am

FranMag

sad isn't it haz?

4:23 am

Angb

Has anyone got the CD of Long Black Veil by Chieftains - great stuff

4:23 am

Haz1558

I was also fascinated by a recent Paul Simon concert. The musicians were brilliant but they would all have been deemed 'not televisual'.

Jacula

Indeed, Haz! I wonder if it was unskilled no7/28 or if he had an injury or bone condition?

4:57 am

I would blame the no7/28 - Albert Pierpoint would have been horrified.

5:05 am

Jacula

Haz - Thanks. I didn't have 'The Prodigy' either.:)

5:05 am

FranMag

okay, going to sudoku so i can get to sleep already. good night again!

5:05 am

Haz1558

It was fun, wasn't it Fran? Jacula obviously doesn't lie comatose on the beach for two weeks. Well, maybe not the whole time....

5:05 am

Jacula

'Night, Fran. Happy Sudokuing. (Is that a word??)

5:06 am

Jacula

Haz - Not any of the time. I'm not really one for sun-bathing. I prefer to sit under a beach umbrella and read a good book.

5:07 am

rolin

jac...youre on bable...and wondering if a word is a real word???...lol

5:07 am

Jacula

rolin - hmmm, yes.... you're right.

5:08 am

Haz1558

We once had the privilege of viewing our neighbours holiday video. 'Here we are on the beach. Here is the waiter coming to take our order. Here we are going in for a bathe.'

5:08 am

rolin

oooohh fun times haz..remember the slide show nights??..now its powerpoints

5:08 am

Jacula

Haz - Oh no! That's worse than 'come and be bored by our 9,000 photos of us in various poses on the beach'. LOL.

5:10 am

Haz1558

It was awful! There should be a law passed that you only show holiday photographs when written permission has been obtained.

5:11 am

Jacula

I'm sure my Crete thing could have been a lot tighter and would have been if I'd stopped to edit and re-edit. However, I'm a terror for doing that and no one would have got anything if I had done. I'd still be pruning it down!

5:12 am

Haz1558

No, it was fun and educational - you got in local customs, history and the flavour of the place.

5:12 am

Jacula

Thank you, Haz. That's very nice of you to say so.

5:14 am

Haz1558

I've just discovered native(s) of Napoleon's birthplace (co5/12 and co6/21)

5:14 am

Jacula

Don't think I'll have time in 3-4 days to do the same for Amsterdam, but I'll try! At the very least, I want to see the bulb fields, Anne Frank's house, the Van Gogh museum, the 'special' cafes.

5:15 am

Haz1558

When is it you go? And are you flying?

5:15 am

rolin

jac all those are fantastic...esp the frank museum...very very emotive

5:15 am

5:16 am

Jacula

5:16 am

Jacula

rolin - Any tips on good places to go would be welcome.

5:17 am

Haz1558

That's good - looks like British Airways are going to get a name for being the worst airline at the minute. They haven't covered themselves in glory recently.

5:17 am

Jacula

The travel agent said she is going to tell the hotel that 22nd is my 50th birthday. Gawd knows what embarrassing things that will cause!

Hiya, btw. I'm back for my final 6.

8:28 am

Sam

until I run with them

8:28 am

ypsigirl

are you sure you're cut out for the grid today?

8:28 am

Merk

I am totally stuck. I have tried and tried for the en 10 and can not muddle my way through it. I was told it starts like the en 7, but I cannot find the last three letters. Any clue?

8:29 am

Sam

incisive

8:29 am

Jacula

Merk - try this clue Haz gave earlier - sounds like a call to end shortening of 'Archibalds'.

8:30 am

Jacula

Or words to that effect.

8:31 am

Merk

I'm not getting it.

8:32 am

Merk

I am in China. A tech support is trying to fix my internet connection. He turned off my computer and I had my word list copied from Brandy Jack and he deleted it unsaved. I had five words left and had to start it all over. It is way past my bedtime, I have a full morning. I am dying for one crummy word. Do I sound grumpy?

8:32 am

Jacula

en* (finish) + *** (what metal does in a microwave) + h*** (greets).

8:33 am

Jacula

A bit, Merk, but it's understandable!

8:33 am

Merk

The first 7 letters are like en 7 right? Nothing of that is changed? Why can't I find 3 simple letters?

8:34 am

Jacula

I Even Sympathise, Merk.;)

8:34 am

EvaNadine

jacula -- i *SO* wish i had that button on my keyboard!

8:34 am

Sam

merk, those 3 are the plural of the sometimes vowel

8:34 am

Anniebrook

merk, the middle part of that word is a geometric form

8:34 am

Jacula

Hi evan. It enables you to type like a pirate. LOL

8:34 am

raelite

merk: the finish of something is the ***, then the dude with the jalopy who's friends with betty and veronica

8:36 am

EspritdJean

8:36 am

Jacula

smooth - That's what Merk's struggling with at present.

8:36 am

Merk

Fireworks, Hallelujah! Thank you, everyone. Sam, your clue did it for me.

9:32 am

aknitter

ar 8 is the curve doorway + the scottish lake monster

aknitter

9:36 am

Annie1953

bethanyej

good morning knitter - always nice to see a fellow knitting fanatic

9:42 am

aknitter

morning beth ... are you working on anything fun?

9:42 am

aknitter

winter wear perhaps??

9:42 am

Strider

Is the j used at all in any word?

9:42 am

bethanyej

my mother gave me cherry tree hill sock yarn for christmas, so i am using that. Also am doing a candlewick lace shawl, among many other projects

9:42 am

Hugabugs

I guess I was thinking of Mr. R. Lee Brown... he was on Soap

9:42 am

bethanyej

how about you

9:42 am

jan

The so/9 is the plural of an interesting word--it means a fruit that is composed of multiple flower and fruiting parts--like pineapples and mulberries. Who says this game isn't educational??

9:43 am

aknitter

sounds like fun, love that cherry tree yarn

9:43 am

bethanyej

i am really loving it - but probably wouldn't buy it myself - very expensive pair of socks. She actually got me two skeins!!

9:43 am

Annie1953

you learn something new every day

9:43 am

aknitter

i am making a lace shawl by jane sowerby (should have my head examined)

9:43 am

9:44 am

aknitter

yup pg 54

9:45 am

bethanyej

9:46 am

torgone

Morning, urfshy ..

Hugabugs

Hiya Tor

9:47 am

torgone

Hugabugs! Long time . .

9:47 am

Hugabugs

Yes it has been

9:47 am

jan

All of the biggies today are unusual words--the en/8 is particularly odd. Its the plural of the en/6 which is the Greek word for joining--it's used to refer to the idea that Cyprus should be united with Greece into one country.

9:48 am

bethanyej

i feel your pain. I was making a opera shawl with this beautiful tencel yarn, dropped several stitches and had to rip the whole thing out!!!!!

9:48 am

hurshy

gets out greek dictionary

9:48 am

aknitter

i dislike ripping out. LOL i must go and change laundry loads. knit on bethany!!

9:49 am

jan

Torgone, I have to say that c words are my own personal challenge. I think c's have the highest percentage of words that i would or could never use in real life.

9:49 am

bethanyej

you too!

9:49 am

pida 1

thnx, Annie, Huga, and Bugsy, I stepped out for a minute, and then scrolled down to your clues. tyvm

9:53 am

hurshy

babbler, think of your decorative royalty, and replace "mon" with cease

9:54 am

anike

Fireworks!!

9:54 am

hurshy

jeepers, weird words. anyone have the third 8? ar, en...?

9:55 am

jan

The en/10 plays off the en/7--which is a botanical word referring to things like roots that have their oldest cells at the core. See what I mean about weird words??

9:56 am

Aloyisius

wahoo, my last three were ALL "ts" words.. fireworks despite the weirdo words!

9:56 am

Aloyisius

congrats, anike...

9:56 am

hurshy

3??? dang, i just have one

9:56 am

jan

Hurshy, the last one is an or/8. plural of a term referring to the kind of tropical flowers related to the vanilla plant

9:56 am

hurshy

9:57 am

Aloyisius

hurshy, I recognized that one, but not the other two

9:58 am

Aloyisius

t+ wounds

9:59 am

Aloyisius

oh, it must be the pl of the ts7.28

9:59 am

jan

I think all three of the ts's are alternate spellings of a Yiddish word. Transliterations are a fertile source of spellig possibilities.

9:59 am

Aloyisius

ty, pida1

9:59 am

hurshy

i need the 7

9:59 am

Aloyisius

ah, that makes sense, jan

10:07 am

Strider

Can you clue the s in the right column?

10:07 am

Aloyisius

oh.. lemme look

10:07 am

jan

Don't have that right hand s, either. I was so sure it had to start sos, but nope...

10:08 am

Aloyisius

I think you need an sc from there?

10:08 am

hurshy

probably, it would have to wrap around and be a pl with the middle s

10:08 am

torgone

It's a mineral ..

10:08 am

Aloyisius

sc6.24?

10:09 am

Aloyisius

geology term, not igneous, but ...

10:09 am

Aloyisius

sounds a bit like a cuss word

10:10 am

hurshy

sedimentary...

10:10 am

hurshy

um... think think

10:10 am

hurshy

got it!

10:10 am

jan

Metamorphic isn't there either...

10:10 am

Aloyisius

strider... howya doing with that word?

10:10 am

Aloyisius

not gneiss either

10:11 am

Strider

Isn't the opposite of igneous, aqueous? Still working on it.

10:11 am

Aloyisius

lol, that is a pun.... not gneiss

10:11 am

Aloyisius

sc + not hers and a consonant

10:11 am

hurshy

i am so annoyed about so many things today

10:11 am

Strider

got it. thks.

10:12 am

hurshy

not babble things, other things

10:12 am

jan

Finally got it...thanks for the clues!

10:12 am

Aloyisius

some days life sucks, hurshy... what's tops on your list?

10:12 am

Aloyisius

the weather?

10:12 am

hurshy

no, not the weather

10:13 am

hurshy

i have some lovely tutoring going that i do mostly in the evenings, but i want more to do during the day

10:13 am

hurshy

i live kind of in the sticks so it's hard to find a part time job that isn't very far away

10:13 am

hurshy

but i've been kind of scouting around, seeing what there might be, esp seeing if i could find at home stuff

10:14 am

hurshy

and i read this article on MSN about at home jobs, and i followed this link to craigslist

10:14 am

Aloyisius

do you get bored?

10:14 am

hurshy

and there was this ad for an at home typist, so i was like, that would be good (yeah, i get bored)

10:15 am

hurshy

so i bought the "training materials" and it turns out that what you do is put up ads for at home typists and get other people to email you and you sent them the same training materials...

10:15 am

Aloyisius

I dig in the dirt (sand) a lot, weeding and planting.. in fact I'm going to plant the Christmas pointsettias today.. do you enjoy typing?

10:15 am

smooth_pappa

fireworks!

10:15 am

hurshy

typing's alright - and it's something i can do. but i was hoping to do something productive and i was so ticked that this was so STUPID.

10:16 am

bunnyvicious

Work at homes are REALLY hard to find, I got my fair share of scams when I was pregnant with the twins and trying to pull in some income.

10:16 am

bunnyvicious

Congrats Pappa

10:17 am

hurshy

the guy refunded my twelve bucks, which i didn't even really care, but it lowers my opinion of the world to know that people are wasting their time filling the world with crap like that.

10:17 am

Aloyisius

bravo, smooth_pappa!!!

10:17 am

Aloyisius

I would be so ticked too

10:17 am

bunnyvicious

I've seen commercials for typing up doctors transcripts, never tried it though.

10:17 am

hurshy

i don't know why it should be hard to find things you can do at home, i'm good with excel and it would work just as well to do things at home and email them in...

10:19 am

hurshy

but the whole issue is also complicated by some other personal things i have going on. anyway.

10:19 am

Aloyisius

well, I have satisfied my babble pallet today, and the clock on the wall says I must scoot.. hurshy, with your talents, i bet you will find something meaningful to work on.. see you tomorrow, babblers!

10:19 am

hurshy

bye alo

10:19 am

Aloyisius

(palate).. heehee

10:19 am

bunnyvicious

Have you tried maybe sitting a kiddo or two during the day. Some people pay pretty good for that.

10:20 am

hurshy

urf, i don't like kids. that's why i don't have any.

10:20 am

hurshy

it's not really about the money, it's more about doing something that doesn't bore me.

10:21 am

flosey

morning all, any clues for co5/12 please

10:21 am

bunnyvicious

Hmmm, I'm stumped then. Unless you want a kitty kenel.

10:21 am

hurshy

flosey - a dove?

10:21 am

smooth_pappa

dangit! I should have showered earlier... now my hair's gonna freeze. lol oh well... I've gotta run... see you all later

10:21 am

Minty106

flosey, which one?

10:22 am

bunnyvicious

Bye Pappa

10:22 am

hurshy

i'm ALSO annoyed with a student who has spent several aggravating hours talking with me about whether he should or should not ask this girl to the prom.

10:22 am

flosey

sorry, it's the third one

10:22 am

bunnyvicious

Why?

10:23 am

Minty106

flosey - as hurshy says, think doves and noise

10:23 am

hurshy

because he's just going over the same ground over and over and over, and now he's like probably not going to ask her, and i'm like, i was trying to be encouraging, and why did i waste my time

10:23 am

hurshy

plus he semi-insulted me

10:24 am

bunnyvicious

I didn't realize you taught high schollers. You're a stronger woman than I am, I could never deal with all those hormones. What's he say?

10:24 am

flosey

thanks Minty and hurshy, got it

10:25 am

hurshy

he said i don't have a sense of normal social boundaries. which is probably true but on top of everything else...

10:26 am

bunnyvicious

Then why did he even ask you in the first place?

10:26 am

hurshy

good question!!

10:26 am

torgone

Tell him to grow a pair and ask her ..

10:26 am

bunnyvicious

I ask my Dad for advice all the time, but I don't ever take it... He was just wanting you to tell him what he wanted to hear, you probably didn't!

10:27 am

torgone

Then tell him to quit wasting your time ..

10:27 am

hurshy

i did tor, about a hundred times (though not in those exact words)

10:27 am

K.Elisabet

well, she was an Ozarker

12:02 pm

Babbler

I'm watching the news. I just can't believe how the Big Brother row has escalated.

12:03 pm

K.Elisabet

still, I never thought that would be the way to spell it

12:03 pm

Babbler

rightly so, I think

12:03 pm

Denny

don't watch it myself - can't stand reality shows, they make me cringe.

12:03 pm

caitlyn

I have got the news on as well Babbler I think they should cancel the show

12:03 pm

K.Elisabet

babbler, is that the show Germaine Greer was on?

12:04 pm

Babbler

Channel 4 just issued a statement, which is half-baked, in denial and just pathetic. They ought to step in and intervene. It's their lack of intervention that's escalating the row.

12:04 pm

Babbler

yes, K.Elisabet

12:04 pm

72 Temple Owl

what are they doing? your link doesn't work and i find nothign more than "bullying"

12:04 pm

Babbler

by Channel 4 refusing to intervene, they're condoning what's going on on the show, which is deeply embarrassing for Britain. It's reflecting badly on us.

12:05 pm

stidmama

What is happening on that show? I see it mentioned on the BBC website quite a lot but don't know what's up.

12:05 pm

Babbler

sorry, TO, let me see if I can find a better link for you

12:05 pm

Denny

i have to say i'm quite surprised that channel 4 would show those bits. i thought it was edited before showing it. even the 'live' thread on e4 always seemed to have silent bits (when I've been channel surfing in the past)

12:05 pm

stidmama

YAY TO!!!! later...

12:06 pm

stidmama

thanks. I'll look at it.

12:06 pm

Babbler

Denny, I don't think they had any choice. Teh show is heavily edited, and it's true they only show half the story, but if they left this out, what could they show us? How could they explain why Shilpa was crying?

12:08 pm

stidmama

Wow. that is nasty...

12:09 pm

caitlyn

As I said I dont watch it but the papers showed Leo Sayer walking out and someone else did I think..although nothing to do with this trouble..I still say cancel the show!

12:09 pm

Babbler

stid, there's subtle racism and overt bullying in the show, coming from 3 girls in particular, directed at a bollywood star. They've singled her out and scapegoated her. They are being deeply b*tchy and nasty towards her. Jermaine Jackson, the Face from the A-Team (Dirk Benedict), and H from Steps have allied themselves with Shilpa, but they haven't stood up for her. Cleo Rocos is trying to act as go between, but she lacks the strength against these ignoramuses.

12:10 pm

Denny

from what i can gather on various shows i've watched, a lot of people are angry at the bystanders not standing up for her and just watching in the background. I think they do have achoice babbler - they edit out swearing, so why not the abuse? i have to admit to being quite cynical and think that channel4 are being lacksadaiscal because they want the publicity. after all they have 24 hours of daily tv to use?

12:10 pm

stidmama

I am disappointed in Benedict if that is true, we went to the same college... though he is MUCH older than I am! I would have expected better from him.

12:10 pm

Babbler

I agree, Denny. Channel 4 are probably rubbing their hands at this record publicity. It's all money for them. Vile.

12:11 pm

Babbler

It's still brewing, Stid. Jermaine Jackson is close to blowing, and Dirk (I hope) isnt' far behind. They're trying to keep things together, and be there for Shilpa, without making things worse. That's how it looks to me anyway.

12:11 pm

stidmama

But the real disappointment is that anyone would treat another human being in that way.

12:11 pm

caitlyn

Im glad H is standing with her..(he is a local boy)

12:12 pm

Babbler

exactly right, stid. It started from a light-hearted silly show, to one that's got me close to tears.

12:12 pm

Babbler

H is a credit to you if he's a local boy!

12:12 pm

lizmac

RO4/5...any clues?

12:12 pm

Denny

i think all thepeople who have complained to ofcom and channel 4 should vote with their fingers and switch off from channel 4/e4. the public will have far more power thatn the government. after all, do we really think that charges will be brought against these people?

12:12 pm

stidmama

liz: the mythical bird?

12:13 pm

Babbler

H was in the diary room the other day, saying about the divide in the house and how it reminded him of how he was bullied at school. Then he took himself off to the bathroom and cried his eyes out. :(

12:13 pm

lizmac

TY

12:13 pm

magzel

i nee the first co4/5 and the second c0 5/12 please

12:14 pm

Babbler

apparently, Carphone Warehouse are reviewing their association with the show, Denny. It's worth £3 million.

12:14 pm

stidmama

is the firs co 4/5 the rug-making material like sisal?

12:15 pm

stidmama

the 5/12 is probably a plural.... (guessing, I have 90 words but not listing yet)

12:15 pm

caitlyn

Oh I am proud of him then Babbler ..There is quite a lot of racism around here.(catty comments etc)

12:16 pm

magzel

stid, i don't know the rug making material word

12:16 pm

Denny

i should think so too - they have had enough bad publicity with their talk talk shenanigans. i did hear earlier that Jade goody had been dropped from an anti-bullying campaign. well i could carry on debatig this for ages but kids need their bath. see you all later babblers

12:16 pm

Babbler

It's everywhere, unfortunately. It's how we deal with it that's important. Some people are cloaking it all under "cultural ignorance", but that's wrong. When Shilpa mentioned something H didn't know, he asked what it was and she explained. That's what normal people do! The catty girls use Shilpa's differences and are nasty about them.

12:16 pm

stidmama

CO + last two letters of what you breathe, mag

12:17 pm

it is only when we stand up against the ignorance and prejudice, even when it is small, that it begins to diminish

12:18 pm

stidmama

liz: the gas station? starts the same, ends with vowel

12:18 pm

Babbler

exactly right, stid. All it takes is for one person to say "that's wrong!"

I agree stid I have always taught my children (and now grandchildren) We are all Gods children .There is good and bad in every race,creed or colour.

12:20 pm

lizmac

Thought the 5/10 might lead off it, BUT, any clues for the AR5/10?

12:20 pm

stidmama

yes caitlyn, very wise. When my children try to paint any person, historical or modern, with a single broad stroke, I remind them that even truly awful people have a spark of light in them; and the ones who seem very good can still make mistakes and be mean.

torgone

Have you checked out any freelance writing gigs?

2:29 pm

pabtrek

congrats chiley

2:29 pm

hurshy

i hope so. they want people with masters degrees, which i have not got, but then, most of the people that seem to do online tutoring are from india, so, i have the advantage of speaking perfectly intelligible english

2:29 pm

Hi there

thx dippnall, finally got it!

2:29 pm

hurshy

cause they use skype and stuff

2:30 pm

hurshy

haven't checked out too much freelance writing stuff

2:31 pm

Sometimes local papers need reviewers or things like that . .

2:32 pm

Had a phone call ..

2:45 pm

Vicuna

Maybe torgone was calling all the others.

2:46 pm

hurshy

lol

2:46 pm

torgone

Is your tongue okay?

2:46 pm

hurshy

vi did you read what i posted a little down?

So, is it all ages all subjects, or what?

2:49 pm

hurshy

i don't think online talking will help though, lol

2:49 pm

pabtrek

thanks thought i tried that combination already

2:50 pm

hurshy

well, the site is, yes, and then, they see what you are most comfortable tutoring and they have you do that

2:50 pm

hurshy

my best is obviously HS math but i can do other things if necessary. however, there is probably lots of demand for math anyway.

2:51 pm

torgone

last se5/10?

2:51 pm

Vicuna

And you said they do skype and stuff, too. I would think it would be harder than in person, but still cool.

2:51 pm

hurshy

i can se5 that you need some help with it

2:51 pm

Strider

tor - it just doesn't make *****

2:52 pm

hurshy

yeah. apparently for math help you also need to have a digital pad and pen, so i'll have to get one of those if they hire me.

2:52 pm

torgone

You're right, it doesn't . .

thanks, glad you made sense of it :)

3:00 pm

Vicuna

I slept in, I tried to print a wood block (but it didn't work very well), I started dinner in the slow cooker, I paid bills and balanced the checkbook, I sorted papers, I ate my lunch, I talked with a friedn on the phone, and not once did anyone cry, whine, interrupt, or ask to have a book read! Wheee!

3:00 pm

thank you Vicuna

3:07 pm

Alisonofwi

Do you get another list to use if you pay the money to upgrade to pro?

3:08 pm

Scrabbler

You get the tile and word stats and get a flag and icon. And you're then a real pro.

3:09 pm

ren8

Come on Alison join the real fun!!

3:09 pm

Scrabbler

I have played so much better since I went pro. LOL.

3:09 pm

scarydeb

*^!FIREWORKS!^* thanks for all the clues. Off to batten down the hatches

3:09 pm

hurshy

(you have the tile and word states for 2 weeks when you register, keep them if you go pro)

3:09 pm

Vicuna

If we're pros, how come no one's paying us to do this?

3:09 pm

Alisonofwi

Whoopie!..but how do you guys know you need a word so many letters long and the first two letters?

3:10 pm

hurshy

i want to batten down some hatches!

3:10 pm

Scrabbler

Yahooo deb

3:10 pm

Scrabbler

Go to lickety's list at the bottom of this page

3:11 pm

hurshy

or BJ's list on the babbler's anonymous page

3:12 pm

Scrabbler

3:13 pm

ren8

well hope everything will be ok for you in the morning Debs

3:13 pm

3:13 pm

hurshy

3:13 pm

You to - goodnight all

3:14 pm

ren8

Nite Debs

3:14 pm

hurshy

alisonofwi, you're not my sister by any chance, are you?

3:15 pm

Scrabbler

I LOVE that movie--hilarious! Especially the wedding: serious setting and minister, then "Mawage...." I lose it everytime!

3:15 pm

hurshy

hmm, if you feel like popping over (what, 5, 6 hours?) we can watch it sometime :)

3:16 pm

Scrabbler

I have the VHS and bought the DVD when it was on sale--I had to have it.

3:18 pm

hurshy

3:18 pm

hurshy

3:18 pm

Scrabbler

Wow--you really like that movie! No, but I saw it recently and it is on my long list of books to read "someday"

3:19 pm

Alisonofwi

I am actually from wi(nslow) Maine, not from WI, but I did live there as a kid for 3 years!

3:19 pm

hurshy

ah, oh well. :)

3:20 pm

Vicuna

I sent off for the extra scene, too. But it didn't really exist. :(

3:21 pm

Alisonofwi

well I have company.Pretty bad when I make them wait to greet them! Thanks for the info..later!

3:21 pm

Scrabbler

Bye Alison

3:21 pm

Scrabbler

Hursh--have you finished the grid already?

3:21 pm

Vicuna

Yes, I read it. I meant I just simply bought the book, not I just now bought the book.

3:22 pm

hurshy

it didn't exist per se, but they sent a very funny thing

3:22 pm

hurshy

yes, finished grid before lunch

3:23 pm

hurshy

did you get the funny thing explaining why there was no extra scene, vi?

3:23 pm

Vicuna

They did??? No fair! Mine just got returned to sender!

3:24 pm

Scrabbler

That's what I figured. 82 to go for me--the ch's were easier than I expected and I am now working on the co's

3:24 pm

hurshy

hmmm, when did you do it? maybe it's been too many years?

3:24 pm

shmoozanne

si5 anyone?

3:25 pm

hurshy

c's not too bad today

3:25 pm

hurshy

si5 female sibling, ebonics style

3:25 pm

Vicuna

Well, I did it like 15 or 20 years ago, but maybe it was already too late then. :(

3:25 pm

hurshy

well no cause clearly i sent mine later than that.

3:25 pm

Vicuna

NO FAIR!

3:26 pm

Scrabbler

I am not good at ebonics--help please

3:26 pm

Annie1953

not brother but

3:27 pm

hurshy

i'll see if i can dig it up - i can't imagine i would have thrown it out but also have no idea where it might be by now

3:27 pm

Scrabbler

I know the corrct spelling but am trying to figure out this variation

3:28 pm

Vicuna

The si5 looks like a strange pl of not bros.

3:28 pm

Annie1953

sounds like sixes

3:28 pm

Scrabbler

TY Vicuna

3:28 pm

Annie1953

oops sizes

3:29 pm

Vicuna

YW, Scrabbler.

3:29 pm

3:30 pm

hurshy

sorry about that folks

3:30 pm

Sam

heh heh conflating

3:30 pm

hurshy

what is funny about conflating?

3:30 pm

Scrabbler

conflating is a big word

3:31 pm

hurshy

oh.

3:31 pm

Annie1953

hurshy had a dictionary for breakfast

3:31 pm

Scrabbler

Definition please--I must claim ignorance

3:31 pm

hurshy

no, i had total cereal. and peach juice.

3:31 pm

torgone

We are all guilty of conflatulence at one time or another ..

3:31 pm

Sam

bevis and butthead would find it amusing

3:31 pm

hurshy

conflating means confusing two things by combining elements of each.

3:31 pm

Sam

conflatulence, that is

3:32 pm

hurshy

conflating, same root as inflating

3:32 pm

Scrabbler

Oh, like mixing things up.

3:32 pm

Vicuna

I wish I'd had Alpha-bits. Maybe that would help me find words!

3:32 pm

Scrabbler

LOL torgone

3:32 pm

Sam

in a really stinky way

3:32 pm

hurshy

it's not quite the same as mixing them up, because, i was sort of merging si5 and si6 (thought there was the word "sista")

3:32 pm

Scrabbler

Well, sometimes these grids dysflate me

3:33 pm

Vicuna

But do they deflate you?

3:33 pm

TeaNCrackers

hi all - just changed my icon to be the babies - here's the twins!

3:33 pm

Scrabbler

They most certainly deflate me.

3:33 pm

Sam

beano = deflatulence

3:34 pm

Annie1953

aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh so cute

3:34 pm

Scrabbler

How are the twins, TNC? And their names?

3:34 pm

TeaNCrackers

I'm headed to the school to get my niece to take her to the hospital to see Jackson and Maria.

3:34 pm

hurshy

tea and crackers, obviously.

3:34 pm

Vicuna

Yup, they look like babies! lol

3:35 pm

Vicuna

No, hursh, those are HER kids. The twins are niece and nephew.

3:35 pm

Scrabbler

Or Cappuccino and Biscotti

3:35 pm

TeaNCrackers

Maria was first at 8:16 this morning and she weighs 6 lbs 6 oz and is 19 inches long. Jackson arrived one minute later and weighs 6 lb 7 oz and 20 inches long.

3:36 pm

Scrabbler

Big for twins--they must have been close to term.

3:36 pm

hurshy

oh see, i don't pay enough attention. when people talk about babies... i zone out

3:36 pm

TeaNCrackers

He was having a bit of trouble breathing this morning, but seems to be doing well. Thanks for sharing with me!
She was 37 weeks yesterday.

3:46 pm

Vicuna

en7/40, compound word where you find the pot of gold
en10 - if you make the en7 end like a stae ruled by a king or queen, and then pl it

3:46 pm

Haz1558

en7 - what you say when the story is finished, followed by a cheeky architectural feature. For the en10, imagine that the en7 has the sometimes vowel attached - plural it. The whole word looks like a campaign to stop shortening Archibald's name.

3:47 pm

no but that is an idea Fran, was just going to show them to friends this weekend. Since I don't have a steady job at the moment it is harder. A few years ago I made heart pendants from salt dough and make $70 in a few days. Polymer clay is so much easier to work with.

4:33 pm

mo

what about a biscuit for Spangle too?

4:34 pm

kristinc

okay, just curious how you were faring. I still hate it when that happens to others (and to me)

4:34 pm

Scrabbler

Here you go Spangle----nice doggie.

4:34 pm

Scrabbler

TY for asking, Kristin. At least it is not a huge grid, otherwise I would have shot myself.

4:34 pm

Haz1558

Spangle is happily asleep at the moment. You know you're a dog owner when your coat pockets are full of poo bags (empty!) and dog biscuits.

4:35 pm

FranMag

haz, the "empty" made all the difference in that sentence.

4:35 pm

FranMag

fireworks!!

4:35 pm

lbdawger

lol Haz, oh so true! kinda like when the kids were small, pockets of tissues, pacifiers, purse loaded with diapers etc.

4:35 pm

Haz1558

Congratulations Fran!

4:36 pm

lbdawger

Whoo hoo Frannie!

4:36 pm

kristinc

good for you haz for being a responsible dog owner (with the poo bags). We're having a real issue with that at my house right now...so yucky!

4:36 pm

kristinc

hooray fran!

4:36 pm

Haz1558

It's a law of nature that the smaller the infant, the more 'stuff' they need.

4:36 pm

Scrabbler

Yahooo Fran!

4:36 pm

mo

congratulations Fran

4:36 pm

FranMag

thanks everyone!

4:37 pm

Haz1558

It's not the most pleasant task, Kristin, but how on earth can you NOT do it?

4:37 pm

lbdawger

Haz, aint that the truth !

4:37 pm

kristinc

well, anytime you want to walk in my lawn...you're more than welcome :)

4:38 pm

Haz1558

4:38 pm

Haz, my neighbours have two dogs like yours and I look after them occasionally ... they are so lively and adorable.

4:38 pm

lbdawger

4:39 pm

Scrabbler

TY Haze. ****Scrabbler gives Hazel another biscuit***l

4:39 pm

lbdawger

4:39 pm

Haz1558

They're great, mo, I take great pleasure in Spangle's company.

4:40 pm

4:43 pm

lbdawger

when i lived in AZ, the neighbor's dog came into our yard and did his business all the time. I kindly asked the neighbor to either clean up after his dog or train it to go else where. His comment was, he's trained to poop in my yard. I scooped the presents up and delivered them to his front door. nicely wrapped in plastic mind you.

4:43 pm

Scrabbler

It should be there--if you logged on under the same name.

4:43 pm

yellow cookie

4:44 pm

lbdawger

4:44 pm

Scrabbler

What is the question, yellow cookie?

4:44 pm

gramma

Maybe I messed up this am.

4:45 pm

lbdawger

Haz, well, i thought we were going to have a poopin contest, but his wife said she'd shoot the dog if she saw it going in my yard again.

4:45 pm

Haz1558

Sounds reasonable.....

4:45 pm
