Ping

belated flip

12:11 am

Jellen

Hi, Groovy

12:11 am

jesdraggon

you can. but it's not really good for her. too much salt and fat, and not a balanced diet at all, lady.

12:11 am

Ping

12:11 am

herinfernallady

Monkey Google LUnar eclipse Los Angeles?

you guys are fast !

12:12 am

bookwomen

My vet said no to tuna for cats.

12:12 am

jesdraggon

a little bit as a treat once in a while is no big deal, but not a good choice for long-term diet. no vitamins to speak of, and doesn't have the right amino acids.

12:12 am

Ping

hi jellen!

12:12 am

Ping

i have 2 so far

12:13 am

MonkeyMind

too much sodium probably...cats get urinary tract infections very easily

12:13 am

MonkeyMind

hey thanks justa!!!

GroovyKiwi

i have 6 lol

12:13 am

herinfernallady

thanks

12:13 am

Ping

what's the best diet for a diabetic cat, jess?

12:13 am

herinfernallady

Fussy bint only eats Dine cat food

12:14 am

jesdraggon

heh. one that's designed for diabetics, ping ;) Hill's Science diet sells M/D and Purina sells DM, which are basically the same thing--high protein, very low carbs.

12:14 am

Ping

we use purina DM

12:14 am

graely

that was the worst video clip...no wonder our country is going down the toilet

12:15 am

jesdraggon

they are, of course, heinously expensive. so my diabetic cat is on the hairball light (low carb, high fiber), which is less ideal, but he seems to be doing fine on it.

12:15 am

herinfernallady

My kitty has snobbed meat products

12:16 am

jesdraggon

well, don't cave and give her stuff that's not good for her, lady ;) she'll train you to just feed her boiled chicken or something horrid like that.

12:17 am

herinfernallady

EWWWw no i wouldnt do that ewww. I give her that stoopidly expensive Dine kitty food fish or purina turkey. I am keeping track of it in my LJ so i dont have to remember

12:17 am

MonkeyMind

lol graely. i know. unbelievable.

12:18 am

MonkeyMind

i had to feed my 16 year old cat gerber's babyfood in her last few months

12:18 am

4:20 am

Andree

4:20 am

Haz1558

Calm your fear, I too am here.

4:20 am

Andree

i am finding it really time consuming, harder than the bigger grids

4:21 am

Atalante

Haz! you're in the grid!

4:21 am

Andree

the real haz i hope

4:21 am

jakes-mum

ty ata

4:21 am

Haz1558

wa6 - first three letters are the reverse of what's on the end of a dog or cat's foot, the last three letters surround a beverage letter with vowels.

4:21 am

Haz1558

I know, Atlante, I'm so pleased. It happens to inge and peri all the time.

4:21 am

lynxxx

Hi Haz.

4:22 am

Haz1558

Good morning/evening all, by the way.

4:22 am

Atalante

Silverclaw managed to shut herself in a kitchen cupboard all night. I have such a traumatised cat!

4:23 am

Haz1558

Oh poor cat!

4:23 am

Atalante

I know! she was Not Happy this morning, and has clung to me since then

4:24 am

Haz1558

That will explain things if your typing is off.

4:24 am

Andree

think that happens at some time for cat owners, really awful

4:25 am

Atalante

well the excuse works for herin!

4:25 am

FMitch

Yay Haz!!!!! Welcome back.
Oh dear Ata, poor Sily.

4:25 am

lynxxx

She didn't yowl?

4:25 am

Haz1558

Hello FMitch!

4:25 am

Atalante

no! stupid cat! she only howled when I couldnt find her this morning and ran round the house yelling for her!

4:25 am

Andree

i have not had a cat for some years but well remember thinking i had lost my cat who was in the linen cupboard for nearly 2 days

4:26 am

jakes-mum

th6 plz?

4:26 am

Atalante

8Dww

4:26 am

FMitch

Good to see you :)

4:26 am

Haz1558

th6 - follows a definite article with a nervous twitch.

4:26 am

Haz1558

And describes the preceding th5/12.

4:27 am

FMitch

Haz have you noticed Ata's, er, unique icon :)

4:27 am

Haz1558

Thank you, FMitch - people are relieved to see that I have not been kidnapped and held to ransom by the imposter.

4:27 am

Lizsark

hello all

4:27 am

jakes-mum

ty haz

4:27 am

Atalante

oh no! you must have been frantic, andree!

4:27 am

Haz1558

I have noticed the er unique icon. It is, er, interesting.

4:27 am

Haz1558

Hello Liz!

4:27 am

Andree

hi liz and fmitch

4:28 am

lynxxx

good morning Liz

4:28 am

Atalante

blame fm

4:28 am

Haz1558

Well, FM is to be blamed for most things.

4:28 am

Haz1558

Can she be blamed for Silverclaw being trapped overnight?

4:28 am

lynxxx

quick everyone! duck!

4:28 am

Atalante

of course

4:29 am

FMitch

Sheesh, I'm getting the blame again. Oh yes, this time it really is down to me.

4:29 am

Haz1558

So, was there a tortilla art competition while I was away?

4:29 am

FMitch

The icon not that cat that is.

4:30 am

Haz1558

No, even I can't see how you would be to blame for the cat.

4:30 am

Atalante

I'm sure it was her fault though, somehow

4:30 am

FMitch

Actually FranMag started it with a Maralyn Monrole painted on a tortilla, I just suggested Ata could be more creative when she went out to dinner that night.

4:30 am

Haz1558

Could Silverclaw have been so traumatised by the icon that she hid?

4:30 am

jakes-mum

clue for the ag7 plz?

4:31 am

Haz1558

And the waiters? Any strange glances Atalante-wards?

4:31 am

FMitch

LOL thats more like it Haz

4:31 am

Atalante

yes! this is true! I knew it was her fault really

4:31 am

jakes-mum

nm got it

4:31 am

Atalante

no, no-one noticed. I was most upset

4:32 am

Haz1558

You should have taken the tortilla around the other tables to let them see. That would have got you noticed.

4:32 am

Haz1558

Or offered the photograph to the restaurant so that they could use it for advertising purposes.

4:33 am

Haz1558

People could point to it and say, I'll have one of those, thanks.

4:33 am

jakes-mum

ap6 plz?

4:33 am

Haz1558

Or alternatively, don't bring anything resembling that to my table.

4:33 am

Atalante

I'm not *entirely* sure they'd want one ...

4:33 am

Haz1558

ap6 - a plus a section

4:33 am

FMitch

Bet the kids would love it tho.

4:34 am

jakes-mum

ty again haz

4:34 am

lynxxx

that's a pity...cloud cover is making for a fuzzy lunar eclipse

4:34 am

Haz1558

You're welcome, jakes-mum.

4:34 am

jakes-mum

ok 3 left, ar7 plz?

4:34 am

Haz1558

I can see that tortilla art is the way forward. Contact Jamie Oliver so that it can be introduced into the schools.

4:35 am

Andree

our sky is clear we should be able to see it soon

4:35 am

Haz1558

ar7/28 - reminds me of one of the characters in The Borrowers - Or, Mr Onassis with the cigar ending

4:35 am

lynxxx

ar7 uses the french end to make something little

4:36 am

Atalante

argh not Jamie!

4:36 am

Haz1558

Pukka.

4:36 am

Atalante

annoying

4:36 am

Andree

don't stop there , think of what you could do with a couple of lamb shanks

4:36 am

labecs

I have a front row view of the eclipse right now and I'm taking video and pictures! It's gorgeous!

4:37 am

Atalante

I was going to do some knotwork but I didnt have enough sour cream

4:37 am

Haz1558

Beat Jamie about the head?

4:37 am

Haz1558

WIth the lamb shanks, I mean.

4:38 am

Atalante

he kicked me often enough as a kid at school, I'm sure I should be able to beat him over the head with shanks

4:38 am

Haz1558

You've been kicked by Jamie Oliver?

4:38 am

FMitch

You were at the same school?

4:38 am

Haz1558

(See the sudden interest arising. Could this be a scoop for the Sunday papers?)

4:39 am

Andree

is that why he has such a flat head ata

4:39 am

FMitch

LOL

4:39 am

Haz1558

I got my question in first. Bags I get the dosh.

4:39 am

jean1953

good morning everyone:)

4:39 am

lynxxx

Hi Jean !

4:39 am

Haz1558

Good morning jean. We're about to hear scandal about Atalante. What's new, of course?

4:39 am

FMitch

I thought of it first, was on the phone so culdn't type *stick tongue out and wonders when Haz is going away again*

4:40 am

Andree

hi jean

4:40 am

Haz1558

Prove it. The thought, I mean.

4:40 am

jean1953

lol timed that right me entering the grid lol

4:40 am

FMitch

Morning jean

4:40 am

lynxxx

Atal gone really quiet...is she already emailing Jamie suggesting a new series around edible art?

4:41 am

Haz1558

Atalante must be going into great detail. Has the memory traumatised her?

4:41 am

Andree

hands off , i mentioned the shanks

4:41 am

FMitch

I have a recording of my synapses if that would help Haz? *quietly hugs Haz and said , didn't mean it*

4:41 am

Haz1558

I mentioned Jamie though.

4:41 am

Atalante

lol sorry, got called away to admire the dog

4:41 am

Haz1558

Crawler.

4:42 am

Haz1558

Good grief, woman - we're waiting for the story. I can offer exclusive rights.

4:42 am

Andree

i would love a new career, maybe ata's agent

4:42 am

jean1953

lol

4:42 am

Atalante

lol yeah, we went to the same infants school. he was a brat. his father owned the pub in the village next to the village we lived in. When I say village, our village was 4 houses, his was about 6!

4:42 am

FMitch

You used to be so nice Haz.

4:43 am

Haz1558

I'm streetwise now.

4:43 am

Haz1558

All that pushing and shoving up the Royal Mile.

4:43 am

Atalante

it was the same village in which my mother was photographed for a half page pic in The Sun

4:43 am

Haz1558

I take no prisoners.

4:43 am

Haz1558

Your mother was in the Sun?

4:44 am

Haz1558

(Hidden depths to Atalante. This may explain the tortilla art)

4:44 am

Atalante

yup! LOL

4:44 am

Atalante

with me in her stomach at the time

4:44 am

Haz1558

Sooooooo, you've been in the Sun by default?

4:45 am

Haz1558

Is that the right expression?

4:45 am

Atalante

yup!

4:45 am

Haz1558

And hopefully, unless it was for medical story reasons, you were in the womb, rather than the stomach.

4:45 am

Haz1558

I can see how a baby in a stomach would make it into the Sun.

4:45 am

FMitch

Mind is boggling, waiting with baited breath for explanation to tabloid exposure.

4:46 am

Atalante

well yes ooooops LOL

4:46 am

Atalante

lol is very silly

4:46 am

lynxxx

does the Sun have a reputation that I, at least, am not aware of?

4:47 am

Haz1558

The Sun is less known for its cerebral content than its Page 3 pictures of women with large bosoms and tiny brains.

4:47 am

Haz1558

I have mine on order at the newsagent.

4:47 am

Andree

what is called a no brainer

4:47 am

Atalante

in tiny hippy village where mum lived, there wasn't a dr surgery for about 15 miles, and so they used the pub as a dr surgery every wednesday ( or some weekday anyway). and the Sun thought this was a great story and gave a whole page to it, including a big pic of my mum and the dr. Mum just happened to be there at the right time LOL

4:47 am

jakes-mum

F*I*R*E*W*O*R*K*S

4:47 am

FMitch

and the rest of the paper is rather more pictures than words (and words of one syllable only)

4:48 am

Haz1558

Congratulations jakes-mum!

4:48 am

lynxxx

Congrats Jakes !

4:48 am

jean1953

congratulations jakes-mum:)

4:48 am

Haz1558

Andree, perhaps we could have a discussion on 'who is a no brainer'?

I am going to cry now..... have to chop some onions and get soup going on the stove

4:49 am

Haz1558

Will you use a Jamie Oliver recipe?

4:49 am

Haz1558

Or will you be like Nigella - no apron, hair tossing about and devouring everything in sight?

4:50 am

Atalante

Nigella is definitely better

4:50 am

Atalante

she likes choclate cake

4:50 am

FMitch

No, my own make it up as you go along variety.
Oh like the Nigella thought, yes that will be me :)

4:50 am

Haz1558

Atalante, thank you for explaining the Sun thing. I can rest easier now.

4:51 am

Atalante

lol yes, don't worry, no huge improprieties

4:51 am

Haz1558

I think Nigella makes it up as she goes along as well. You need to be wearing nipped in waists and flouncy skirts.

4:51 am

Haz1558

Such a relief.

4:52 am

Atalante

and be married to a millionaire

4:52 am

Haz1558

4:55 am

Haz1558

4:56 am

Andree

Haz1558

You're welcome.

Haz1558

4:57 am

Atalante

moody!

4:58 am

Andree

4:58 am

Haz1558

It makes her look a bit sad, I'm not used to the black and white thing, but it's well taken, I think.

4:59 am

craggus

4:59 am

Atalante

oh thats lovely! but yes, a bit droopy

5:00 am

Andree

springers manage that sad look so well

5:00 am

Haz1558

wa6 - reverse the three letters of an animal foot, then surround a beverage letter with two vowels the same.

Hi natasa

Hi Scrabbler - finished?

5:46 am

lynxxx

Hi Natasa

5:47 am

Scrabbler

No, I just started, but am disappointed with the small grid.

5:47 am

lynxxx

I was too - but it will keep you busy

5:47 am

Angelsong

hi, all. ar7 please?

5:48 am

Raevyn

especially sad since half the words are wtf? words lol

5:48 am

natasa

Hello Angel

5:48 am

natasa

lol Raevyn..i think the same

5:48 am

Raevyn

I got the first half and am pretty much just fishing for the rest :P

5:48 am

Scrabbler

LOL, raevyn, is that why I am staring at the grid trying to find more than 8 words?

5:48 am

Merk

Sorry Angel, I don't have the ar 7 yet either.

5:48 am

lynxxx

Hi Angel . ends in the french ending for little

5:49 am

Raevyn

pretty much lol

5:51 am

Merk

Such a strange grid.

5:52 am

Scrabbler

I'm up to 16 now.

5:52 am

lynxxx

Hi Merk

5:52 am

Scrabbler

I am making slow progress, Merk

5:54 am

Merk

I've heard of the ge 4,11 with an -er at the end, but never alone like that.

5:54 am

Angelsong

found the ar7: Mr. Onassis+ vowEl+double consonant+ first vowel.

5:55 am

Merk

I found it, too. I didn't hear back from you so I assumed you had it and didn't clue it further.

5:55 am

lynxxx

Can I help with any other bad clues before I go?

5:55 am

Angelsong

oops: the last vowel is the second voewl, not the first.

5:55 am

Scrabbler

TY, Merk

5:57 am

lynxxx

OK see you all later...Byee

5:57 am

Merk

I don't know, Lynx. I'm plodding along slowly. I feel like I'm in sticky mud.

5:57 am

Merk

If you had a particularly difficult one, you can clue that for us, Lynx.

5:58 am

Merk

Just realized there are two h tiles. Where did everybody go?

5:59 am

natasa

Firewords

5:59 am

bichon

Bye natasa--come back again.

6:01 am

I mind is in a ha** and always plays tricks on me on short grids. Plus I need my coffee yet.

6:01 am

Merk

Bye Natasa

6:03 am

Merk

I got up early to see the lunar eclipse and then it ended up too cloudy to view it.

6:03 am

Scrabbler

Oh, man, Merk--too bad. The moon was really cool and huge last evening.

6:05 am

bichon

ag 7?

6:05 am

Merk

So I decided to start on the grid instead, just in case it was a long one ...

6:05 am

Angelsong

and Fireworks.

6:05 am

Scrabbler

Yahooo Angel!

6:06 am

Merk

ag ... first four letters of the ag 5,14 preceding it.

6:06 am

Merk

Great Job, Angel!!

6:06 am

Angelsong

ag7 builds on the previous ag somewhat, includes the 6 point tile toward the end of the word.

6:07 am

Raevyn

Fireworks...and my only consolation is that both the z words, which I found last, were actual words I had heard of before :P

6:07 am

bichon

thanks Merk, got it

6:07 am

Scrabbler

Yahooo Raevyn!

6:08 am

Raevyn

ty :)

6:11 am

Raevyn

unlike, for example, the wi 5/18 word, which is apparently an Irish Gaelic exclamation of lament. Who comes up with these? lol

6:11 am

Merk

Haven't looked at the grid for a bit. If you're still here, congrats Raevyn

6:11 am

Scrabbler

I have the ze4, Greek letter--a hint for the other?

6:12 am

Raevyn

pasta, scrabs

6:12 am

Raevyn

and ty merk :)

6:12 am

Scrabbler

Argh, how did I miss that? My grandparents came over from Italy.

6:12 am

Raevyn

lol

6:13 am

Raevyn

too bad it wasn't Ireland; you might have a shot at the wi 5/18 :P

6:13 am

Scrabbler

I just monkeyed the wi5/18

6:14 am

carleekat

51 words?

6:14 am

Raevyn

well I hope you let the monkey get in some warmup stretches first, because he's getting a workout today :P

6:15 am

Scrabbler

Yes, it is so disappointing, carlee. I am going to save my last 18 for later this afternoon. Time to get ready for work. Bye.

6:15 am

Raevyn

Bye Scrab :)

6:16 am

Raevyn

and I'm going to be off as well, unless anyone needs a clue before I go...for as much good as one clue will do in this weird grid...

6:16 am

Merk

th 4,5 the second ... middle one, please

6:17 am

Raevyn

same as th 4/5 the third, only with a vowel in place of the last consonant

6:18 am

featherbee

no, not disappointing, wonderful!

6:18 am

Merk

I have that one. I'm missing the one between the two that both end in vowels.

6:18 am

Raevyn

oops...ok, read the list wrong sorry

6:19 am

featherbee

i'm going to save it for this afternoon's naptime, yay

6:19 am

Raevyn

lol you got the two hard ones; you'll kick yourself for missing the middle one

6:19 am

Raevyn

replace the last vowel of the one above, with a consonant

6:20 am

Merk

lol, you're right. I'm kicking myself. Starting with the wrong t.

6:20 am

Raevyn

lol

6:21 am

Merk

ty

6:22 am

Raevyn

6:22 am

6:23 am

mrpresident

6:23 am

Raevyn

6:28 am

mrpresident

it was blood red when it went into eclipse... the kids were so amazed.

And my son and I, we both saw a shooting star at the moment of the eclipse... how incredible is that!!

9:09 am

Haz1558

9:11 am

Book Doctor Gwen

yeah, i can tell -- it says there's two Zs for instance . . . 8-)

9:11 am

EvaNadine

one of the Z's is a yummy pasta. :)

9:12 am

9:13 am

Book Doctor Gwen

9:20 am

Book Doctor Gwen

me too chicken to have pierced ears. a wimp with a capital w

9:20 am

EvaNadine

so, have that bottom A-word yet?

9:20 am

Book Doctor Gwen

nope ... working on the 2nd T right now

9:21 am

Book Doctor Gwen

now hunting the bottom a, though ...

9:21 am

LeslieAnn

oh, a baby grid

9:21 am

EvaNadine

hah, as for me, i had to have the 1st holes done 3 times before they stayed. then i was addicted + ended up with 4 holes in each ear. then the top one on the right ear got badly infected, so i had it pierced all the way up top. then that one got badly infected, so really now i have 4 in my left and 3 in my right.
ended up having to have surgery on the right ear to remove the keloids.

had my nose pierced instead. :)

9:21 am

Book Doctor Gwen

phamtoms: apnea, apneic

9:22 am

leslie -- this baby has big sharp te5!

9:23 am

Jen34

bottom "a" word -- a + cut a p**** of pie for me

9:23 am

LeslieAnn

i had some problems with my ears, but only because i went to places in the mall. if you go to places that use a needle instead of a gun it's less likely to get infected

Haz1558

It's their conscience that is lacking.

9:30 am

LeslieAnn

haz is right, that usually works out better

9:30 am

Jen34

9:30 am

Jen34

9:30 am

Book Doctor Gwen

LeslieAnn

Book Doctor Gwen

howdee and welcome to yon Tinygrid, Leslie!

9:37 am

Book Doctor Gwen

(i mean Lori, not Leslie, oh whatever)

9:38 am

LoriP

It was a small but weird grid this day.....

9:38 am

LeslieAnn

eh, all us L names are the same :)

9:38 am

LoriP

LOL BDG

9:38 am

Haz1558

The fast pace of the word finding has had a profound effect on BDG> that, and her brain falling out.

9:38 am

LeslieAnn

yeah, i'm amazed she can still type

9:38 am

LoriP

Just popped in to say Hi before I go to work. ***sigh***

9:39 am

Book Doctor Gwen

no, it was your pixillated clue, haz LOL

9:39 am

Book Doctor Gwen

oooh, found another word

9:39 am

LeslieAnn

is it kinda like a chicken where they keep running around after you cut off their head? gwen keeps babbling

9:39 am

harpjane

ar7?

9:39 am

Haz1558

Well, this work nonsense seems to be a major problem for babblers.

9:39 am

Haz1558

ar7 - a little operatic solo.

9:40 am

LoriP

Work greatly interferes with my escapism.

9:40 am

Haz1558

I don't know. The chicken stops eventually. If we hear dead silence from BDG, we'll know the worst.

9:40 am

Book Doctor Gwen

blaaaaaaagh . . . . . . .

9:40 am

LoriP

Is BDG having an A.D.D. type morning?

9:40 am

Haz1558

I can recommend being on maternity leave.

9:40 am

Haz1558

23 years of it so far, in my case.

9:41 am

LoriP

Ack! Haz!!!!!! I have 4 Don't even go there.......... :)

9:41 am

Haz1558

I only have 2. I just didn't go back to work.

9:41 am

LoriP

LOL I just returned to work last fall when the youngets started school. The additional paycheque is nice. Now we're working poor, instead of poor.

9:42 am

Haz1558

ag7 - use the stone mentioned in ag5/14 - give it an ending using the high scoring buzzy letter.

9:42 am

LoriP

seano, take the 5, and privat*** that corporation.

9:43 am

Book Doctor Gwen

LoriP

That one stumped me for a bit. Then I clued in via the point total.

9:45 am

Book Doctor Gwen

9:46 am

Haz1558

At least the vowels have the good sense to be in alphabetical order.

9:46 am

Book Doctor Gwen

9:47 am

LeslieAnn

Book Doctor Gwen

9:48 am

Book Doctor Gwen

nominate the word gaup

9:48 am

Haz1558

Too close to gawp. There'd be problems.

9:49 am

LeslieAnn

gaup sounds like a skin condition

9:49 am

Book Doctor Gwen

darn

9:49 am

LeslieAnn

"Little Mickey can't come to school today, he has the gaup."

9:49 am

Haz1558

Peeping Toms gawp, I don't know who gaups.

9:49 am

Book Doctor Gwen

can't come in to work today. got the gaup.

9:50 am

Book Doctor Gwen

shoot, you beat me to the punchline again.

9:50 am

Book Doctor Gwen

gotta type faster

9:50 am

Haz1558

The galloping gaup is the acute condition.

9:50 am

LeslieAnn

we're just reinforcing the idea, gwen

9:50 am

Haz1558

Whereas a galloping gawp would be a peeping Tom on horseback.

9:50 am

Book Doctor Gwen

oh, i like that galloping gaup. sounds horrid 8-)

9:51 am

superflippy

Yay! My first ever fireworks!

9:51 am

Haz1558

Well done superflippy!

9:57 am

markbowers7

greenbaylady, u have inspired me to change my icon

9:57 am

Haz1558

Getting the brain back in, BDG?

9:57 am

Haz1558

See you later!

9:58 am

LeslieAnn

just a small chore, that stuffing the brain back in

9:58 am

Haz1558

Wil it be through the ears?

9:58 am

Haz1558

They're not pierced so there's no infection likely via that route.

9:58 am

LeslieAnn

that seems to make the most sense

9:59 am

Haz1558

I thought so, Leslie.

9:59 am

greenbayladi

ha 4/10 please

9:59 am

Now, there's a great grid. 1st LeslieAnn 'brain' remark then Haz's comment. I love this place!

But it hasn't fallen out?

10:02 am

LeslieAnn

straight to the list with 19 to go

10:02 am

MVA

no haz, just about still where it shoukd be!

10:03 am

Haz1558

There's a relief. Apparently one of my clues caused BDG's brain to fall out. Litigation may be avoided if I keep on the right side of her.

10:03 am

MVA

must have been some clue!!!

10:04 am

Haz1558

I hadn't thought it out of the ordinary, but maybe a week's break has got me out of practice. I'll issue a health warning in future.

10:04 am

MVA

lol!

10:05 am

Haz1558

And thereby deny all responsibility for aching brains etc.

10:08 am

Haz1558

Okay, I can hear all the brains working at full strength to find the words. I'm going to take Spangle for a walk and leave you to your deliberations. Have a good day and I'll check back later. Bye for now.

10:08 am

LeslieAnn

bye haz, thanks for all the amusement

10:09 am

Follow your definite article with a twitch

11:14 am

Book Doctor Gwen

haz, thanks for letting me know i'm not the only one in here 8-)

11:14 am

Book Doctor Gwen

woo hoo fireworks!!

11:14 am

Haz1558

That's okay. And congratulations!

11:14 am

Haz1558

I'm just back after walking the dog.

11:15 am

Book Doctor Gwen

adding th6 to me collection of weird words . . .

11:15 am

Haz1558

That collection is bound to be bulging by now.

11:16 am

Book Doctor Gwen

over 400 pages, as paginated by MSWord

11:16 am

Book Doctor Gwen

lessee . . . it ways i have . . .

11:17 am

Haz1558

You're not going to print it, though? Think of all those trees.

11:17 am

Book Doctor Gwen

. . . over 24,000 words. Yipes!

11:17 am

Book Doctor Gwen

ways=says

11:18 am

Haz1558

And are they all weird? Or has your definition of weird changed and modified with time?

11:18 am

Book Doctor Gwen

and no way in hell am i gonna print it. the whole point of it is to search for words beginning TH-- or whatever. i add to it and sort it a lot

11:18 am

Haz1558

Watch out or somebody will accuse you of cheating...

11:19 am

Haz1558

I heard someone thought clues should be abolished as well.

11:19 am

Book Doctor Gwen

some of the words are doubled, because there are patterns i lay out. example: the four letters IORT in a little square yields 5 words, so I have all 5 listed together under each possible header. See?

11:20 am

Book Doctor Gwen

not cheating. i use it mainly for cheating on OTHER words games LOL

11:20 am

Haz1558

Have you ever thought of therapy?

11:20 am

Book Doctor Gwen

but when one gets stuck here, one has Lickety, and a2z, and clues, and whatever else. All cheating?

11:21 am

Book Doctor Gwen

haz, you can tell therapy has done nothing for me.

11:21 am

Haz1558

I know. I'm a terrible cheat.

11:21 am

Haz1558

I don't know which the therapist would tackle first - the babble addiction or the word ordering obsession.

11:22 am

Haz1558

The 12 step programme might have to be reviewed.

11:22 am

Book Doctor Gwen

cure me of "obsession" and i will cease to exist

11:23 am

Haz1558

We can't have that. It's bad enough if your brain disappears, we can't have the rest of you going as well.

11:24 am

Book Doctor Gwen

and those 12-step programs won't work. i have no higher power

11:24 am

Haz1558

You'd better just enjoy yourself, then.

11:24 am

Jadeomoan

Time to dive into this grid!

11:24 am

Hello Jade - enjoy..

Bye BEG!

Haz1558

How are you today, Jade? Coping with the fame of being a broadcaster?

11:27 am

Jadeomoan

Doing well enough, Haz. Thanks for asking!

11:27 am

Jadeomoan

May I have a clue for the ge4,11? The middle one?

11:27 am

Haz1558

That's good.

11:27 am

Jadeomoan

It's interesting to say the least

11:28 am

Haz1558

ge4/11 - American expression of surprise

11:28 am

Jadeomoan

Thanks, Haz!

I am... feeling as if I have bitten off too much for the coming school year. I am going to be helping my mother in her classroom several days a week, and have also said I would help three different people at my children's old elementary school. And I _still_ don't have my office cleaned up at home!

11:44 am

CsCdeFounder

Scrabbler

Do you dislike the NY Yankees. AK?

6:38 pm

6:39 pm

Scrabbler

Atop the division

6:39 pm

6:40 pm

mrpresident

6:40 pm

CsCdeFounder

6:41 pm

Jacula

6:41 pm

aknitter

6:41 pm

Jacula

Poor Mrp!

6:41 pm

aknitter

waving red sox pompoms in the air

6:41 pm

CsCdeFounder

the whole division could change very quickly with some good play from the yanks...got two 3-game series with boston

6:41 pm

Jacula

Scrabbs - wrong vowel! LOL

6:41 pm

Scrabbler

Oh, dear, I blew it....trudging off to sit on the naughty chair

6:42 pm

Scrabbler

I got so excited, Jacula, that I typed the word in before I sent off my chat entry. Babble makes me so impulsive.

6:43 pm

lbdawger

hi everyone! oh dear, mrp do something proactive against that migraine. owie!

6:43 pm

Jacula

Speaking of chairs - my gas-lift typists' chair died today. Paul sat on it and nearly hit his chin on the desk as it sank to the lowest it could go. LOL. Guess I'mm be shopping for a new chair at the weekend.

6:43 pm

Scrabbler

Next, that W==I have wh4 and wi5--a hint for the 3rd?

6:43 pm

CsCdeFounder

akn - think about 2 numbers: 1978 and 14 games in front...now think about who won the division that year :D

6:43 pm

aknitter

good play and yankees in the same sentence - oxymoron

6:43 pm

mrpresident

hi dawg!

6:43 pm

Jacula

wa6/33 - another word for an elk.

6:44 pm

dan2bit

wa + anagram of ti4

6:44 pm

Scrabbler

Did you witness Paul's drop?

6:44 pm

Scrabbler

TY, Jacula!!

6:44 pm

aknitter

1978 -- can't remember that far back LOL

6:44 pm

Tiny

Hi Mr P

6:44 pm

Jacula

Scrabbs - I did! :D

6:44 pm

Scrabbler

4 left and no list yet--just intense mugging for clues.

6:44 pm

mrpresident

Hi tiny! :))

6:45 pm

CsCdeFounder

speaking of baseball, ag 4/6 - famous mets centerfielder from the "amazin's" lol

6:45 pm

Jacula

Hello, tiny.

6:45 pm

Scrabbler

It is kind of funny although not for Paul---a good story to tell forever now.

6:45 pm

CsCdeFounder

sounds more like selective amnesia to me, ak, lol

6:46 pm

Scrabbler

The P--pi x 5 and pu x 1--the other 2?

6:46 pm

Jacula

Wasn't his fault, Scrabbs. It's about 10 years' old and had been creaking ominously for a few weeks before its demise.

6:46 pm

lbdawger

2 pu's scrab

6:46 pm

aknitter

amnesia ..... hmmmm forgot the question

6:46 pm

Scrabbler

Aha, I hear a kitty

6:47 pm

Jacula

pu4 x 2, pu5 x 1

6:47 pm

Scrabbler

Hi dawger! ty

6:47 pm

aknitter

you could flush the kitty and get to pu words LOL

6:47 pm

Jacula

Scrabbs - If you hear a kitty it's probably mine; he usually brings me something dead home at about 12.30.

6:48 pm

CsCdeFounder

red sox nation seems to be the most amnesia-filled fans out there...u win one world series, choke for the other 100 years, and all of a sudden there's a red sox "nation"...must be nice to be able to play badly and choke only to blame it on a curse on a whim, only to win 1 world series and say they were just the better team

6:48 pm

Scrabbler

Gross, what cats do, but that is their normal behavior

6:48 pm

CsCdeFounder

must not be the cubs fault for losing for 99 years either...they've got the curse of the goat...it's not that they stink or anything

6:49 pm

Jacula

So far this week I've been presented with 2 dead squabs (baby pigeons) 1 small, 1 large + a very small mouse.

6:49 pm

Scrabbler

It took multiple tries, but I got the 3rd pu4--TY

6:49 pm

aknitter

curses are real.... we have sent it from boston to new york

6:50 pm

Scrabbler

And tonight's special feature in Babble Land, is Baseball Trash Talking, with aknitter & CsCdeFounder.

6:50 pm

Jacula

ak - sending curses isn't very sporting, surely? *shocked face*

6:51 pm

CsCdeFounder

no, sadly enough, new york cursed themselves (and i said this would happen before the season)...when they decided to treat Bernie Williams, one of the most beloved Yankees (and one of my fav. players), like total crap, the Yanks cursed themselves

6:51 pm

graely

clues for pi5,12 and 4,5 please

6:51 pm

aknitter

well i also have a voodoo doll LOL

6:51 pm

Scrabbler

BAseball fans, esp NY Yankees and Boston red Sox are devoted, loyal, and intensely competitive.

6:51 pm

Jellen

pi 5/12= pi + Greek letter

6:51 pm

CsCdeFounder

well that, and signing A-rod...i like a-rod as a baseball player, but can't stand him as a yankee and i actually hope he decided to opt out of his contract at the end of the season and goes elsewhere

6:52 pm

mrpresident

blah blah blah sport blah blah blah sport blah

6:52 pm

Scrabbler

I need an E--I have ea4 meaning under

6:52 pm

aknitter

and then there

6:52 pm

Jellen

6:52 pm

graely

ty

6:52 pm

lbdawger

et4 scrabs

6:52 pm

Jacula

ak - I hope not! Years ago, at work, a girl made a plasticine doll to represent our horrible supervisor and put some of the supervisor's hair (pinched from her hairbrush) on it. When she stuck a pin in its head our supervisor had to go home with a migraine! It scared the life out of the girl that did it! LOL

6:52 pm

Scrabbler

NM, found it

6:52 pm

graely

pita

6:52 pm

graely

6:53 pm

graely

Scrabbler

6:53 pm

Jellen

Hello, all. Back between laundry loads

6:53 pm

aknitter

6:53 pm

Scrabbler

6:53 pm

aknitter

6:53 pm

graely

6:53 pm

Scrabbler

That reminds me--I should do laundry too....ah, I'll do it tomorrow night.

6:53 pm

CsCdeFounder

and don't even get me started roger "i'm a wh*re" clemens...absolutely can't stand the guy and abhor that the yanks signed him

6:53 pm

Jacula

ak - I think, if the intent is there, it can do.:(

6:54 pm

Jellen

th5 = a Greek letter?

6:54 pm

aknitter

scrabs what reminded you of your laundry? the voodoo doll ? the poop?

6:54 pm

graely

last ha?

6:54 pm

Jacula

Scrabbs - te5 , maybe? The pearly things in your mouth.

6:54 pm

aknitter

roger clemens Hahahahahahah

6:54 pm

mrpresident

csc, let us know how you really feel :)

6:54 pm

Scrabbler

No, Jellen said she was returning from laundry

6:54 pm

danf63

Csc...just started reading the chat...as a Cubs fan, i give you a raspberry...pbbbbbbt

6:55 pm

Jellen

th6= definite article + involuntary spasm

6:55 pm

CsCdeFounder

6:55 pm

aknitter

6:55 pm

Scrabbler

I have that one, Jac.thetic

6:55 pm

CsCdeFounder

actually danf, the cubs are my 2nd favorite team, lol

6:55 pm

aknitter

scrabbs!!

6:55 pm

Scrabbler

Oh, man, I am in big trouble again. Hazel will probably show up now.

6:55 pm

graely

leave it to me to miss the obvious ones

6:55 pm

graely

ty

6:55 pm

aknitter

what are you doing?

6:55 pm

Jacula

Last ha = ha4/10 - think of a nut (a filbert) and take the last letter off.

6:56 pm

lbdawger

scrabs, th plus two vowels

6:56 pm

danf63

i still won't like the yankee's, no matter how much you try to butter me up

6:56 pm

danf63

;-)

6:56 pm

aknitter

yeah dan!!

6:56 pm

Jacula

Scrabbs - you're in double trouble now for mentioned the Ballymena One's name at this precise moment! LOL

6:56 pm

Scrabbler

Sorry, folks. Tonight I have been suffering from BIS, Babble Impulsivity Syndrome.

6:56 pm

CsCdeFounder

cubs, yankees and red sox fans are probably the most devout fans in baseball, so you'll never get any of them to like one of the other teams...it's just in the blood, lol

6:57 pm

Jacula

Scrabbs - get Callie to finish the grid for you!

6:57 pm

Scrabbler

You're not calling Hazel and reporting me, are you, Jacula?

6:57 pm

danf63

True C...I have been a Cubs fan in San Diego since I met Ernie Banks as a kid...imagine the play off here in 84! What a nightmare!

6:58 pm

Scrabbler

Well, I am done! That aforementioned th6 was my last one.

6:58 pm

aknitter

we have a Haz hot line all set up scrabs

6:58 pm

CsCdeFounder

but look on the bright side, danf...for every 100 minus 1 years of choking, "cursed" red sox baseball, you can have 100 years minus 1 of bad, Steve Bartman baseball :D~

6:58 pm

Scrabbler

OK, I will accept responsibility for my errors and will repent!

6:59 pm

lbdawger

whoooo hooooo SCRABBLER

6:59 pm

aknitter

you all will be bowing before me when the RED sox win the world series

6:59 pm

Jacula

Scrabbs - No. I was referring to the nut I was trying to clue for an ha word without saying the word!

6:59 pm

danf63

It's not if you win or lose, it's how you play the game...or so people keep telling me :-(

6:59 pm

danf63

YEA SCRABBLER!!!

6:59 pm

Scrabbler

Strange video today---ophthalmology lesson.

7:00 pm

danf63

(knitter, i think they won recently, didn't they?)

7:00 pm

Scrabbler

Ah, Jacula, but the word is concealed within her name. (Poor excuse)

7:00 pm

aknitter

and we shall win again

7:01 pm

danf63

maybe, maybe not...that's what the playoffs are for
