2:07 am

2:07 am

2:07 am

sprite

wow ren8!

2:08 am

Dispatch

i have never shopped the strip district, but i hear it is a great variety

2:08 am

scarydeb

same here Ren8

2:08 am

VolleymomDee

dinner served; young college kids put on a "whodunit"; someone was "killed" and all folks eating dinner try to solve the mystery. My brother won!

2:09 am

Dispatch

when i home-schooled my older boys, we visited the carnegie science center often. lots of fun! and the omni-max theater is great!

2:09 am

VolleymomDee

great variety, huge price differences from inexpensive to very expensive

2:09 am

scarydeb

doer

2:09 am

sprite

sounds like fun! I am glad the mystery was in the game and not in the spaghetti then :)

2:09 am

scarydeb

sorry :(

2:09 am

ren8

my mother-in-law in the Isle of Wight does not have any snow Debs

2:09 am

VolleymomDee

2:12 am

Takuma Sato

Takuma Sato

dee...i am just not getting that ra6 clue. can you give a simpler clue for this tired speller please?

2:37 am

Jencatd

ra6 - to make something ra4

2:37 am

VolleymomDee

ra 6/33 a piece of art that is ra** is worth a great deal of money + we used to listen to music on a hi ** (last letter uses the sometimes vowel)

2:38 am

Dispatch

oh...that is weird. thanks for the help!

2:39 am

VolleymomDee

2:39 am

Douglas

That's a vrnt splng...oh, hello everyone...

2:40 am

VolleymomDee

howdy

2:40 am

Dispatch

hello douglas! i was thinking about you!

2:40 am

VolleymomDee

I thought it was spelled with an "i" in the 2nd syllable

2:40 am

Douglas

Hello Dispatch...happy thoughts I hope...

2:41 am

Jencatd

could I have a clue for re5/10?

2:41 am

2:43 am

Douglas

We had a "Parablepalooza" at our church two Sundays ago, where we read all the parables...

2:44 am

VolleymomDee

bet that was cool

2:44 am

Douglas

One thing that's really neat about our church is that we have a sermon discussion group that helps create the sermon on the next Sunday...and I saw this chart in my mind's eye at the last sermon discussion group...

2:46 am

VolleymomDee

what denomination doug?

2:47 am

Douglas

It doesn't really have a denomination...it's one of those emergent, postmodern thingies...

2:49 am

Dispatch

and do you all share in the preaching duties?

2:49 am

VolleymomDee

lol our church is nondenonimational... but kinda "sovereign grace baptistic"... lol a mouthful, but a great church and preaching pastor

2:49 am

Douglas

Solomon's Porch, where Jesus is saving Generations X, Y, Z, Alpha and Aleph, not necessarily in that order...

2:50 am

VolleymomDee

large congregation?

2:50 am

Douglas

I've heard that the sermons are going to be farmed out to a lot more people over the next few months...

VolleymomDee

2:56 am

flosey

Douglas is that like a Unitarian Church ?

3:00 am

Douglas

I'm grasping that the emergent thing is meant to keep the same kinds of theology as historical Christianity, but to not consider spiritual formation as primarily educational...

I mean the do version.

4:04 am

Deeha

Morning Hydra. I was in Wales yesterday and advised to come home - to Kent-because of forecast. On train Virgin Rail said they would be running amended timetable because of forecast - this morning vaguely white lawn which has now been washed away. Why dont the British expect snow in winter!!!!

4:05 am

hydra

It's ridiculous, isn't it? We've got about 4 ins here, but they've cancelled flights, closed the local school, and all because winter is behaving the way it should.

4:06 am

Like Instapundit, when they ban private jets and limos, I'll take them seriously...

4:09 am

Deeha

I believe you Doufloas but last warmest Jan was 1916 but did they all wring their hands then and say global warming??

4:09 am

hydra

Oh JFB, you poor thing! I do sympathise.

4:09 am

Atalante

really? Its tipping down here!!

4:09 am

Deeha

Douflas??!!

4:11 am

larlielou

wales is at a stand still because of snow

4:12 am

hydra

My study is very dark because of thick snow on the skylights.

4:12 am

Douglas

Global warming...It's the new religion you know...

4:12 am

Douglas

Sean Penn is now a climatologist...

4:13 am

Douglas

Or is that Tom Cruise is a Scientologist? I get them all so mixed up...

4:14 am

Deeha

same difference they are both small and boring!!!

4:14 am

Douglas

I hope it's not too ****** in your study, hydra...

4:14 am

Anne38

larle you shoud have stayed in the sun in aussx

4:15 am

hydra

Oh, I'm afraid it is, Douglas!

4:15 am

larlielou

i, no next plane back

4:16 am

Douglas

Chopping off the last letter also makes a...yaah! I can't...say it because it's a ... yaah!

4:16 am

hydra

It's so peaceful when it snows. No traffic noise, no footsteps, quiet and blissful, though the idiots at the gun club up the road are still clay pigeon shooting.

4:17 am

hydra

Maybe they'r shooting snowflakes.

4:19 am

Atalante

shooting in the snow? fun .....

4:20 am

hydra

It's coming down really thickly, too. But I can still hear distant bangs, like a far-off war! You get used to it.

4:21 am

Atalante

some people ar *strange*! LOL

4:22 am

hydra

I'm imagining big husky guys in boots and thick jackets and leather earmuffs. Mmmmm!

4:23 am

Deeha

Yum Hydra but I bet they are really weedy city types bunking off work!!!

4:24 am

hydra

I'm sure you're right, Deeha. That's wrecked my fantasy.

4:24 am

Douglas

There's plenty of strangeness to go around here...

4:25 am

Deeha

Sorry bit of a spoilsport arent I!!!

4:25 am

hydra

Not at all! Did you see my earlier question? I asked you what\Walmer was like to live in as I'm seeking a seaside abode.

4:26 am

Atalante

come to Whitstable :)

4:26 am

Douglas

I said to myself...I'll quit when I'm halfway...then I said, I'll quit when I have a 100 words...ok ok, I'm really quitting for now...you believe me, don't you?

4:26 am

hydra

I've been to Ramsgate and Broadstairs, but not Whitstable. Is it a good place to live? Artistic things happening?

4:27 am

Atalante

very arty, lovely old fishing town. I'd *love* to live there - I live about 10 minutes drive from it near Faversham, and I'm constantly looking out for a nice house there!

4:27 am

hydra

Don't believe yuou, Douglas. I think you'll carry on for a bit. I have a break at 1000 points and I've hit 948

4:27 am

Deeha

Sorry didnt see it. Walmer is lovely.Nice castle. It runs into Deal which is gorgeous - full of lanes with 17th 18th century houses, Beautiful country around. Dover Castle which must be best castle in country(?) not bad rail links to London. Free buses for over 60's! What more can you ask?

4:28 am

Atalante

lovely beach, friendly, big new arts / community centre. There's also lots of art stuff in Margate

4:28 am

hydra

I qualify for the free buses. That's what makes living in London so good. I can get anywhere for free.

4:29 am

Douglas

It's nice to have people around who have faith...

4:29 am

Atalante

basically anywhere round here is pretty nice, isnt it Deeha

4:29 am

hydra

It'd be a leap in the dark for me, moving somewhere where I don't know anyone. (Shiver, quiver....)

4:30 am

Deeha

You are right Atalante, Kent is beautiful. Whitstable is arty - but very expensive property I hear.

4:31 am

Atalante

you'd soon get to know people, there's a lot of community art / craft societies and things, and actually, I met most people I know here from shoppping - there are a lot of "proper" shops round here, not huge chain stores. So I spend half my time lounging around in shops talking to their owners and their dogs!

4:31 am

Deeha

I moved from London 6 years ago. Dont regret it for a moment. Folks are pretty friendly down here so take the leap Hydra

4:32 am

Atalante

nor me, I moved here from London about 4 years ago

4:32 am

hydra

Sounds good, Atalante. I don't drive, so I'll have to take a daytrip on the train to both locations and look around.

4:32 am

hydra

Do you find your London friends still visit you?

4:32 am

Atalante

let me know when you're coming and I'll chauffeur you around!

4:32 am

Deeha

Come to Deal Hydra - I'll even make you lunch!!

4:32 am

Atalante

everyone *loves* visiting here! woods, beach, nice pubs ...

4:33 am

hydra

Thanks for the offers. You're really kind! You must let me have your email addresses. I can be found at hydrababble@yahoo.co.uk

4:33 am

Atalante

and omg the property you can get down here compared to the same price in london is amazing

4:33 am

Deeha

Its about hour and 1/4 motorway all the way or hourly trains from London

4:34 am

hydra

I have my London house (small, ex-council) up for sale for £350,000. It's obscene!

4:34 am

Atalante

you could buy a mansion for that. literaly!

4:35 am

hydra

Must do some work now that I've reached 1011 points. I have a proofreading job to do today. Thanks for the interesting chat.

4:35 am

Atalante

there's a house up for sale in Birchington for £350,000 - it has 5 bedrooms, 2 huge reception rooms and faces right onto the beach

4:36 am

Deeha

Yes keep thinking I will do some work -perhaps later...........!!!

4:36 am

Atalante

me too!

4:38 am

Atalante

but I'm having too much fun watching my kitten stalk my porridge bowl

4:39 am

Deeha

Is that the kitten on your logo? I have wanted a cat for a while but my husband was allergic to them - he said - but now I am on my own I might go for it

4:40 am

Atalante

yes :) my little Silverclaw. ah yes, the male "cat allergy". I know all about that. my husband had it, but when Silverclaw just turned up he decided he loved her and his "allergy" vanished!

4:41 am

Deeha

Had a brother in law like that. First evening the cat took over his lap and he fell in love!!

4:41 am

Atalante

yup! amazing isnt it :)

4:42 am

Atalante

and you should get a cat, they are such wonderful companioins

4:43 am

Eva

Good morning. I used to be allergic to cats too. But decided to have them anyway amd over time the allergy disappeared.

4:45 am

Atalante

morning :) how's mr merrrrp?

4:45 am

Eva

he's fine. Silverclaw looks very happy!

4:46 am

Atalante

she's a silly thing! but wonderful for taking amusing pictures of :)

5:04 am

Eva

very quiet this morning. Must be all those eeeee's and rrr's

5:05 am

Atalante

re's ... a dreaded combination

5:05 am

Eva

the worst!

5:06 am

lynxxx

Hello - I'm still here - been quietly finding words - 52 left to find though. Must go and organise dinner, see you later if you are still here

5:07 am

Eva

hi and bye lynxxx

5:08 am

ExWren

You would think I would know every RE there is, but I just get a mental block where they are concerned

5:09 am

Atalante

whats worse is that my husband is working from home today because of the snow, so somehow he thinks I've been transformed into a domestic servant and keeps yelling for stuff! grrr!

5:09 am

pinkhatlil

Good morning everyone its still snowing in london i wish i could play with my daughter in the snow but she's to young. I m a big kid at heart

5:09 am

pinkhatlil

aired

5:10 am

saintfranny

thanks pink!

5:10 am

pinkhatlil

sorry folks

5:10 am

Eva

ata-pretend sudden deafness-it's what they do all the time

5:10 am

Eva

hi pink

5:10 am

Atalante

oh I am, don't worry :)

5:10 am

movieman

morning everyone!!!!!!!

Snow, snow, snow!!!!!!!!!!!!!

5:11 am

Atalante

morning MM!

5:11 am

Eva

just a very light snow here. Wish we'd finally get a really good one this winter, although it's a lot better than it was. At least the ski areas have been able to open and make snow, as it is so cold

5:12 am

pinkhatlil

Morning movieman it makes a nice change to see snow instead of rain

5:12 am

movieman

i've often wondered why we only seem to get snow in february, and not december or january.......

5:14 am

Atalante

ahhh yes. one of those unanswerable questions

5:14 am

Jacula

Good morning all from the winter wonderland that is Worcestershire. Schools seem to be off - kids are out with sledges.

5:15 am

Karys

hello everyone.....snow here too :D

5:15 am

pinkhatlil

december 2005 was the only time i recall snow falling and it wasn't a major snow fall, just a dusting

5:15 am

Atalante

morning Jac :) is there lots of snow over there?

5:16 am

Atalante

I've got to decide whether to drive over to the Cotwsolds tomorrow or not .......

5:16 am

Jacula

About 2", Ata and still falliing. Don't know what the roads are like.

5:17 am

Karys

thats bad, having to make the decision in advance

5:17 am

Jacula

Supposed to turn to rain later, Ata. I should wait and see.

5:17 am

Atalante

yes, you're right, I'll just have to say I can't tell yet

5:18 am

Karys

perhaps something will happen to make the decision for you !

5:19 am

Atalante

that would be nice!

5:19 am

Jacula

Well, Mum and I we4/8 willing to go out shopping but we reckon the roads will be chaotic & bus late etc., so decided not to go. I will try my new snow boots out walking down to the village later.

5:20 am

Karys

that sounds like a good idea Jac, be nice, a walk in the snow

5:21 am

Jacula

Karys - I might even build a snowman & woman or make a giant snowball.;-)

5:21 am

Karys

and roll it all the way home !

5:21 am

Atalante

its such an awkward situation, my blooming best friend - I mean my darling angel best friend - has broken her ankle. And she's very ill with lots of other permanent stuff already, so the broken ankle is causing big problems. She lives with her mother, but her mother is recovering from chemo and can't do a lot physically ...

5:21 am

Jacula

I remember at high school we used to clear the hockey pitch of snow by making an enormous snowball.

5:22 am

Jacula

Ata - I'm sure they wouldn't want you to put yourself at risk in bad driving conditions. Wait and see what the weather does.

5:22 am

Karys

Oh dear Ata, I would think that if the weather is a bit 'iffy' then your dear friend would rather do without your ministrations

5:23 am

Karys

oops....sorry ...I used a word !

5:23 am

Atalante

I'm actually hoping it gets a bit worse so I physically *can;t* get up there, nice and easy decision :)

5:23 am

Karys

twice !!!!

5:24 am

Karys

well, the radio is advising people not to travel at the moment.

5:25 am

Jacula

Don't wo5/22, Karys. Babblers are 'snowblind' today.;-)

5:25 am

Karys

not that that helps for tomorrow really, does it ?

5:25 am

Atalante

not really LOL ah well, we'll see what happens

5:25 am

Eva

is the sh8 a compound?

5:26 am

Karys

Jac, the trouble is, these days, I can only concentrate on one thing at a time !

5:26 am

Jacula

Eva - dunno. Haven't got that one yet.

5:26 am

Jacula

Karys - know the feeling!

5:27 am

lynxxx

5:36 am

Jacula

'Bye, Karys. Hi, Wrennie.

5:36 am

movieman

anyone found both the 8's yet?

5:37 am

Eva

the do8 was pretty easy, but I'm stuck on the sh8

5:37 am

smit

yes south africa has a lot of heritage but a lot of people think that we have lions and cheetahs living in our backyard which is a load of toss. one problem in our country is that land is getting developed so quickly and so much that we are loosing a lot of our nature reserves. however there are a few good ones though. unfortunately the middle and lower income class earners cannot afford to go to the game reserves cos its too expensive

5:37 am

movieman

clue for the do8, eva?

5:37 am

ExWren

morning all, lovely white outlook this morning. My husband HATES the snow, and never stops moaning about it

5:38 am

lynxxx

old ladies are said to be partial to a few sh8

5:38 am

Eva

has to do with property and marriage

5:38 am

Eva

thanks lynxxx! Had tried the singular to no avail, so didn't think of trying the plural. DUH

5:38 am

Jacula

lynxxx - got it! The wedding reception tipple sh8. Hate the stuff!

5:39 am

lynxxx

did exactly the same Eva

5:39 am

Eva

very good for cooking with though

5:39 am

movieman

got the do8, ty eva

5:39 am

Jacula

Nice in a trifle but not in a glass!

5:39 am

lynxxx

I actually like it - but then I like port and other dessert types

5:39 am

Eva

yw movie

5:40 am

Jacula

lynxxx - you prefer sweet drinks then, I guess? I like mine very dry.

5:41 am

lynxxx

I do - my favourite is Bianco (sooo old fashioned I know)

5:43 am

Jacula

My auntie used to like that. Still have a bottle in the cupboard I got in for her. She died 22 years' ago. I don't suppose the drink's any good after all this time.

5:44 am

lynxxx

it does last for ages - but 22 years? maybe not! and its as cheap as chips anyway - not tossing away a lot of money!

5:44 am

ExWren

you can't move for e's in this grid, other times we would beg for an e!

5:44 am

Jacula

Time I cleaned the cupboard out, I guess! LOL

5:45 am

Jacula

Useful things, e's, Wrennie. Without them you'd be XWrn.

5:46 am

ExWren

ha ha

5:46 am

Jacula

:D

5:46 am

lynxxx

Jac - is that a picture of your cat? and did you take the shot? its gorgeous

5:47 am

Jacula

lynxx - No, not one of my two cats. It's a birthday card entitled 'cat's whiskers'. It is rather lovely!

5:48 am

lynxxx

back in a bit - time to eat!

5:48 am

Jacula

'Bye, lynxxx.

5:52 am

mom23

lynxx--if you like bianco, try reisling auslese--it's like white grape juice with a kick! Very pleasant!

5:54 am

Jacula

mom - I think lynxxx is off stuffing her face at present. Heck! She'll kill me when she comes back and reads this. *ducks*

5:55 am

mom23

Oh well, more for me! Maybe she'll check the log. Thanks, Jac.

5:55 am

mom23

Oh well, more for me! Maybe she'll check the log. Thanks, Jac.

5:58 am

mom23

Sorry for the hiccup there--hit enter and nothing happened, so hit it again and ...

5:58 am

Jacula

Happens to us all, mom. Don't wo5/22.

6:02 am

mom23

Jac--if you "s3" lynxxx can point her to 5:52 post? Gotta run & head for w4!

6:03 am

Jacula

Okay mom. If I'm still he4/5. Have a good day.

6:03 am

mom23

thanks!

6:07 am

Atalante

i'm sure my last 39 words dont exist

6:08 am

Jacula

3 of 'em must do, Ata, 'cos I'm down to 36.;-)

6:09 am

Atalante

gah! well, those 36 dont exist then :P

6:09 am

Atalante

have you got both i's?

6:12 am

Aloyisius

Good Thursday to all.. I see some of you are snow-bound babblers today.

6:13 am

Atalante

hi Alloy

6:13 am

Atalante

Aloy!

6:14 am

Jacula

I had 2 ey4/6 last time I looked, Ata. Seriously, yes, I have both i's. Need clues?

6:14 am

Jacula

Hi Aloy.

6:14 am

Aloyisius

hi, ata.. 31 left here..

6:15 am

Aloyisius

hi jacula, love the kitty pics today

6:15 am

Scrabbler

Good day folks. Al---Taz???

6:15 am

Atalante

I've got an ir5/12 - maybe you could just tell me the length of the other? for the sake of my sanity? I'm sure its obvious!

6:16 am

Jacula

ir4/5, Ata.

6:16 am

Jacula

Hi, Scrabbler.

6:16 am

Aloyisius

:-( bad news, Scrabbler.. he is no longer with us.

6:16 am

Atalante

oh pfffffff. ty. I could *not* see that!

6:16 am

Jacula

BRB, when I've seen to laundry.

6:17 am

Scrabbler

:( :( Oh, Al, I am so sad. But, he is peaceful now. I am so sorry. Losing a pet is SO tough.

6:17 am

Scrabbler

Hi Jacula, Atalante, et al.....

6:18 am

Aloyisius

yes, a very sad time.. good memories help

6:19 am

Scrabbler

Make a scrap book with pics and memories. I am sure you gave him a great life, and he made yours better too. That is what our companions are for.

6:20 am

Aloyisius

thanks to the internet, I can share the holiday pics with family, too..

6:22 am

Jacula

Scrabbler. ((HUGS))

6:23 am

Scrabbler

Hi Jacula---you lost your Joey not long ago.

6:23 am

Jacula

Just been outside in the snow to check on the bunnies. Don't think my younger cat has ever seen deepish snow before. I wish I'd filmed his reaction when I opened the door. He was also terrified by the scrunching sound it made when I walked in it.

6:23 am

Jacula

Scrabbler - yes. I still often forget he's not there when I'm feeding them...:(

6:24 am

Scrabbler

That's funny, Jacula. My downstairs bunny, Callie, has been thumping every night when the deer come across the yard through the 3 ft high snow.

6:25 am

Jacula

3 feetof snow? There are 2 or 3 inches here and the schools are closed! LOL

6:25 am

Scrabbler

One nearby town got 42 inches since Saturday!

6:27 am

Scrabbler

I have a "glacier" of snow, about 12 ft high, at the end of my driveway where my snowplow guy pushes the snow.

6:27 am

Jacula

Blooming heck! Can't imagine the chaos if we got that there. This country seems to grind to a halt for just a dusting of snow, even when we're expecting it.

6:27 am

Aloyisius

holy cow, Scrabbler.. how are your roads?

6:28 am

Jacula

Scrabbler - you'll have to take a pic of it and put it on he4/5!

6:28 am

mousey

hi y`all

6:28 am

Scrabbler

I live in "ski country"--there is a ski resort on the hill across from ours. The roads have a lot of packed snow, with annoying ruts, making for a bumpy ride. It is SLOW going.

6:28 am

Scrabbler

Hi MOusey

6:28 am

Jacula

Speaking of snow, it's time I tried my new snow boots out and scrunched my way down to the viilage. BBL.

6:28 am

Aloyisius

hello, mousey

6:29 am

Scrabbler

Bye Jacula

hi pida

6:51 am

ch1212

good morning ... I just have to grip a little that "reair" isn't allowed. I worked in radio for years and believe me, it's a word. "We will reair our broadcast next Tuesday at .." "Let's reair the same newscast as last hour -- no one pays attention anyway" (:D !!)

6:51 am

Wolvie

hi ch

6:52 am

Aloyisius

i agree, ch1212, but maybe it is hyphenated?

6:52 am

ren8

hello ch1212

6:53 am

Aloyisius

makes no sense that there is a de*** but no re***

6:53 am

ch1212

Oh. Mmmm.... Now that I think about it, you are probably right, aloy. One problem about writing for radio is we learned to right for the ear, not the eye.

6:53 am

ch1212

And I've never heard of de*** until just now -- thanks!

6:53 am

Aloyisius

ah so

6:54 am

ch1212

Oops, I meant to write "write" for the ear :)

Scarlet

Good morning, all. Alo, how are you feeling today? I thought about you last night...

6:59 am

Wolvie

hi scarlet

6:59 am

ren8

hello scarlet

6:59 am

Scarlet

Hi, Wolvie! Are you getting any warmer? We had 51 degrees yesterday,but it felt like 25. Hi, ren8!

7:00 am

Aloyisius

ty, scarlet.. a bit better. Grief "cuts like a knife" (best analogy I could think of).. but memories help to sooth the pain. Taz was a great companion for 12 years.. everyone who has lost a pet has my sympathy too...

7:01 am

Wolvie

we got to 52 F yesterday - supposed to be 47 today. Not too bad. :-)

7:01 am

ch1212

(((( Aloyisius ))))

7:02 am

Wolvie

aloy - I am sorry to hear about taz - knew of illness, didn't know Taz was gone. I've also lost long time pets in my time, so I understand - and wish you the best - enhoy the memories. :-)

7:03 am

Aloyisius

... and, I might add... the babble hugs help too. :-)

7:04 am

Aloyisius

tx, wolvie

7:04 am

Scarlet

Awwwww. Here's another one: HUG. Most of us have been there, and it lasts a long time... the ache and the emptiness. I used to "see" and "hear" one of my cats for many weeks after her demise. I think she was saying a series of "good-byes"

7:05 am

Aloyisius

I know exactly what you mean, scarlet..

7:07 am

Scarlet

What's that word that was coined on SNL? Verklempt? That's what I'm feeling now... ch1212, Wolvie and Aloy, how's the grid?

7:07 am

Wolvie

pretty decent grid scarlet - lots of er and ed endings

7:07 am

Aloyisius

wow, scarlet... i think it is not bad at all.. 3 left here, maybe because I woke early and "lurked" and concentrated... not too many weirdos, but a few are hiding in the grid..

7:08 am

ch1212

7:08 am

ch1212

7:10 am

Scarlet

Wow... sounds like a skater Wolvie and Alo... LOL ch1212.. ren8, how are you doing on it? LOLOL, Aloy

Hi, troqua. Welcome to fun central.

7:16 am

ch1212

I knew a counselor once who had a whole theory about what your favorite cartoon character said about you. For example, if you liked Tweety best, you saw yourself as a long suffering victim

7:16 am

Scarlet

I like anything by Gary Larsen... let's not analyze THAT too much... LOL

7:17 am

ren8

ch1212

agreed, eva

8:12 am

smit

wolvie when i do that then i am only seven letters, i am looking for the sh 8

8:12 am

though college is a distant memory, I remember heading for an exam and meeting a friend coming back FROM the exam wondering where I was and I was like, its at 10:30 and he said, no, its at 9

11:40 am

The night before one of my finals there was a huge snowstorm. This was in North Dakota - they don't cancel school there. So anyway I get up completely unaware of the several feet of snow on the ground and try to open the garage door. Of course it's completely stuck. I got the the final an hour late, but luckily my favorite professor was giving it and he stayed late to let me take the test.

11:47 am

12:45 pm

My niece had planned an upstate New York jaunt. Needless to say those plan were postponed.

12:45 pm

Scarlet

Hi, ardilla. Vicuna, I haven't watched Nemo since my granddaughter was three (four years ago) and I am having a real Dumb Attack.

12:46 pm

EvaNadine

quite cold here as well...going ok otherwise though.
but it seems everyone around me is sick!
*eep!*

12:46 pm

inge

heard on the news this am that upstate New York will get 100 inches of snow. Anyone building an igloo?

12:47 pm

Scarlet

LOL, inge. The grandchildren are, actually!

12:47 pm

Vicuna

Okay, it sounds like what you enter a building through (For purposes of this clue, I'm assuming you aren't a cat burgler!), but only one vowel, then make it sound "cute" and pl it.

12:47 pm

inge

Guten Tag Babblers, we barely have any sow ourselves.

12:48 pm

Vicuna

It's awfully hard to shovel sows, inge! lol

12:48 pm

inge

*snow, no sows either hre

12:48 pm

LoriP

Aha! The bad typing thing isn't exclusive to me... :)

12:49 pm

it's contageous, before babble I had no trouble typing!!! hehehe

12:50 pm

Change of Pace

How heavy is a shovel of snow?

12:51 pm

Scarlet

Yep, I knew, and appreciated it. My cat burglar days are far behind me now.. Vicuna... but, I am being denser that even I knew I could be. LOL

12:51 pm

Vicuna

Varies considerably on how wet the snow is, Change.

12:51 pm

Change of Pace

How wet can snow get?

12:52 pm

Scrabbler

Guten tag, Babblers. I am in upstate NY and I can verify that we have lots of snow! We have gotten about 36 in just in the last 5 days and more is coming down as I type.

12:52 pm

LoriP

....and, with a total lack of willpower and self restraint, I do indeed feel a nap coming on. I'll try again after supper.

12:52 pm

LoriP

Have a great afternoon all!

12:52 pm

Gkmandy

how many words for this puzzle?

12:52 pm

Vicuna

Sometimes when it's pretty warm it's very slushy, and then each shovellful might weigh comparable to a couple of gallons of water. When it's very cold it tends to be drier, fluffier, and lighter.

12:53 pm

Scrabbler

Oswego County, east of Lake Ontario has gotten about 6 ft of snow in the last week.

12:53 pm

Scarlet

'Bye LoriP. Hi, Gkmandy. 173 words

12:53 pm

emusing

hi,! clue plz for ey7?

12:53 pm

inge

hi scrabbler, let change visit you to "weigh" those shovels of snow personally

12:53 pm

Change of Pace

Sounds heavy for sure. I don't think I could shovel snow.

12:53 pm

Scrabbler

Vicuna is right--there are different types of snow. Don't the Eskimos have multiple words for snow?

12:54 pm

Change of Pace

I am planning a trip to Germany this June/ July but I don't think it will be snowing then.

12:54 pm

Vicuna

Well, it's seldom that bad, and if you're lucky by the time it's that slushy it will melt by itself. The worst is when it's wet like that and then freezes overnight.

12:54 pm

inge

I hears you are in for a 100 inch total, only 18 inches to go!!!

12:54 pm

Change of Pace

What happens when it freezes overnight?

12:55 pm

Vicuna

That's right, Scrabbler. The Inuit language has a few nouns meaning snow, and a plethora of adj to describe every nuance of snow-ness!

12:55 pm

Scrabbler

I am in the snowfall winning town of western NY--we win every year.

12:55 pm

inge

Germany used to have great travelling weather in June/July. Then they started getting heat waves----and no air conditioning

12:55 pm

emusing

hi,! clue plz for ey7?

12:55 pm

emusing

hi,! clue plz for ey7?

12:55 pm

Scrabbler

We have not been above freezing for over a week.

12:55 pm

emusing

sorry for 2x

12:55 pm

LeslieS

Scrabbler "eskimo" is a not the right word for "Inuit" people

12:55 pm

Vicuna

Well, Change, then you might have a foot of solid ice, all lumpy and bumpy over every sidewalk and driveway!

12:56 pm

Change of Pace

Oh my that doesn't sound so good, I will stay with my son on the base there, but don't now where it is.

12:56 pm

Scrabbler

I was thinking there was another word instead of Eskimo but I couldn't think of it.

12:56 pm

inge

which base is he at?

12:56 pm

Vicuna

Oh, you'll be fine in Germany in June, Change. Only snow then will be up in the mountains.

12:56 pm

Change of Pace

Wow Vicuna, that sounds dangerous. I have yet to witness such an event.

12:56 pm

Scrabbler

emusing--I don't have ey7 yet

I watched a show about it

pinkhatlil

its sad to hear anna nicole smith is dead im quiet shocked as i thought she had sorted out the issues she had in her life. did she have children?

3:22 pm

Bloodaxe

hello babblers...
pink, she had a 20 year old son who died a few years ago.

3:22 pm

helenkeller

she was using ephedra? i guess i'm not surprised there, not the sharpest knife in the drawer

3:23 pm

Uneaixoise

her 21 yr old son died last yr and she had a newborn baby

3:23 pm

ardilla

yeah, no more o words!

3:23 pm

Scrabbler

Good for you, ardilla.

3:23 pm

helenkeller

yeah her son died just as her baby was born, while they were all still in the hospital - they said a combo of methedone & anti-depressants(?)

3:24 pm

Chip

the baby is now the sole heir to that oil guy's fortune, which should be interesting since they aren't sure who the father is.

3:24 pm

helenkeller

she sure led an atypical life

3:25 pm

Uneaixoise

they said she had just recently agreed to a paternity test but it hadn't been done yet

3:25 pm

Scrabbler

But, quite typical for celebrity-types

3:26 pm

helenkeller

oh, that's right there was the whole paternity agruement going on - man i would be pissed if my 89 year old dad married someone like her (young, hot, deeply spiritual) & then left everything to her

3:26 pm

Scrabbler

Good point, HK

3:27 pm

Uneaixoise

deeply spiritual??

3:27 pm

i'm judging the 89 year old guy that married her & then left her his kajillion dollar fortune - i find that really sad, either he had horrible family relationships or was having a really late mid-life crisis

whatever anna was involved in or done in her life its not our place to judge as none of us are perfect and we have all done things we regret. some of you have commented about her marrying the old man, i think he has to take some responsibility.

3:36 pm

Yvo

'the pro-leisure tour' is what i fill in when asked for occupation - i try to avoid having to have a 9-5, 40 hour work week - although, from time to time, circumstances present themselves where i get involved with something for a few years

Kazzer99

do4es any one know if the ets are an alternative spell of our favorite et or do they mean something completel different

3:46 pm

helenkeller

no, i wouldn't say priviledged, i would say that i live very conservatively, i don't do many extravagent things, i am careful how i spendi invest somewhat wisely - and there is a part of me that envies the person who spends their whole life devoted to a solitary pursuit - basically i still don't know what i want to be when i grow up

3:46 pm

Scrabbler

They are mashed up French, is my guess, Kazzer

3:57 pm

4:00 pm

featherbee

4:00 pm

stidmama

brb

4:00 pm

helenkeller

okay vic, spill - who told you to say that? babblers have been dissing alan all day long!

4:00 pm

torgone

4:01 pm

Vicuna

When I first clicked through, I thought it was a different pic!

4:01 pm

featherbee
