12:21 am

stidmama

jill dear, drop a crumb or two my way... the AD you found?

12:22 am

cybernan

at least you still play, melon -- haven't touched my violin (other than to get my granddaughter started) in 40 years or more.

12:22 am

melonheadjujube

oops - spoken like a violist {hides lest a shoe be thrown y way}

12:22 am

jillibus

12:22 am

VolleymomDee

thanks for the ad's, the cr and the rh... great finds!!

12:22 am

cybernan

I keep saying I'm going to get back at it, but I hate to cut my fingernails -- never had any when I was young!

12:22 am

jillibus

stid -- contains a 6 tile

12:23 am

stidmama

thanks jill! that was perfect!

12:23 am

pinkhatlil

phantom traitor

12:23 am

stidmama

I have it now... almost to halfway...

12:23 am

jillibus

*beams*

12:23 am

cybernan

did someone call an rh?

12:23 am

pinkhatlil

yes nan

12:24 am

jillibus

yep, nan -- not me tho

12:24 am

melonheadjujube

cybernan, I actually moved my bass into my bedroom - NOT AS WEIRD AS IT SOUNDS - so I can just pick it up & play it. When it was in a corner in the living room I had to move things around to get to it - amazing how a little barrier can keep one from playing. i do play 15 or 20 min a day. My 12 year old cellist nephew thinks i'm great - that's enough to keep me going. i have a hilarious video of him laying my bass on youtube.

12:24 am

VolleymomDee

rh 8 was called

12:25 am

stidmama

melon! that is my problem with the guitar and the piano... the latter makes an all-too-convenient resting place for sundry papers...

12:26 am

melonheadjujube

oh, yeah - piano as hat rach/bookshelf/jigsaw puzzle surface, etc. etc. . .

12:26 am

stidmama

not that I am all that good at either anyway... but perhaps I can think of something... the guitar hanger just gets it off the floor, but doesn't really make it easier to get to.

12:26 am

melonheadjujube

s the rh8 a word i should know?

12:26 am

stidmama

yeah. the etc. etc. is what gets me in trouble... LOL

12:27 am

egbokmom

12:27 am

melonheadjujube

12:27 am

pinkhatlil

12:28 am

cybernan

12:28 am

stidmama

12:28 am

jillibus

Why? That seems very LAME. Its not like scrabblers icon is an everyday thing. If anyone uses one of my icons that i have taken as a pic with my own camera i will be pissed

1:13 am

MVA

bye egbok

1:13 am

MVA

hi hugs and pink

1:14 am

jillibus

I think it would be polite of egbok to change because Scrabbler has used that icon for ages and it's identifying

1:14 am

jillibus

hi MVA

1:14 am

zephyr

jeez its only a pic

1:15 am

MVA

Hi Fran

1:17 am

FranMag

hi infernal!

1:17 am

moonwoof

I think egbok could have been asked nicely before jumping. They might not have even known it was scrabblers'.

1:17 am

herinfernallady

Um Sometimes pictures are actually taken by members cameras like mine ego stealing. As i said i am a crabby bitch today so just ignore the crazy lady

1:17 am

jillibus

egbok was told several times

1:17 am

moonwoof

You guys are usually so good about making people feel welcome. That was hard to watch.

1:18 am

moonwoof

Evening fran

1:18 am

moonwoof

TOLD. Not asked.

1:18 am

pinkhatlil

i think she felt away, so she logged off!

1:18 am

jillibus

told it was scrabbler's icon, not told to change

1:18 am

moonwoof

Could you blame them?

1:19 am

moonwoof

And it seems to me that they could have been asked, not told... That's all I'm saying.

1:19 am

FranMag

hey moon!

1:20 am

moonwoof

How's new year's in the Aloha State, fran?

1:20 am

FranMag

we had a busy weekend, but other than that it's fine.

1:20 am

Hugabugs

I suppose the me7 and me8 have been called?

1:20 am

cybernan

maybe we should have given at least one day for egbok to change the icon

1:21 am

pinkhatlil

has anyone seen greenbayladi recently, i haven't seen her in ages!

1:21 am

good morning all :) My first day of translating :)

Hiya Spritey! You've started then??

1:22 am

FranMag

thanks moon, i wish i knew some ukrainians.

1:22 am

jillibus

moon, egbok was not TOLD anything, but the fact that it was scrabbler's icon was mentioned. S/he was given every opportunity to realise it or mention it or change it but chose to ignore it.

1:22 am

sprite

every workday from now on, woof, and in the weekends too if possible. :)
Will start with the short story, then the rest.

1:23 am

That's Very cool to hear Sprite. I'm looking forward to it.

1:23 am

sprite

dutch to english, pink, my own book.

1:23 am

FranMag

i was going to use sprite's icon for "dutch things" day...i'm sure glad i didn't!!

1:24 am

jillibus

Nan, what a lovely legend in your profile!

1:24 am

BabbleRabble

so what? who decides who "own" and icon? where is it written that the same icon may not be used by more than one?

1:24 am

sprite

Fran, why not? You are totally allowed to, lol. What's with the icon stress all of a sudden?

1:24 am

moonwoof

Well, what would you do with the ukranians if you had them, Fran?

1:24 am

pinkhatlil

just checking, it might have seemed like a dumb question, but i thought it could have been another langauge ;)

1:24 am

cybernan

ty jill

1:25 am

FranMag

i don't know moon, celebrate christmas with them maybe. :-)

1:25 am

herinfernallady

Hi Sprite

1:25 am

FranMag

nan, that is a nice story and a cool icon!

1:25 am

sprite

I don't know any other language well enough to make a real good translation, and I am that critical b*tch that cannot go for anything less, lol.

1:26 am

FranMag

hi babrab!

1:26 am

moonwoof

Ahah. If you need another Xmas, fran, we could set an arbitrary Babble Xmas date, and celebrate, then...

1:26 am

sprite

I am with Rabble on this. WIll ask a 3rd time: what's with the icon stress?

1:26 am

pinkhatlil

you always make me smile sprite

1:26 am

herinfernallady

Babble my icon is from my camera therefore as the photos owner it is mine. Also ignorance pisses me off. I always look at others icons to make sure im not treading on peoples toes.

1:26 am

moonwoof

Evening BR. Just check the log, guys.

1:27 am

sprite

let's make every day Xmas, forget the humbug and go for peace

1:27 am

moonwoof

You can NOT possibly tell me, herin, that that was a picture scrabbler took. *I* have found it on the web...

1:27 am

FranMag

from what i gather sprite, a new babbler is using the same icon scrabbler uses. i personally don't think it's a big deal either.

1:27 am

BabbleRabble

and what you considerr ignorance is your opinion

1:28 am

pinkhatlil

please, no one argue over the icons, is it really worth it?

1:28 am

BabbleRabble

well, someone was driven from the room over it

1:28 am

sprite

seems simple to me. Either you own the picture, like lady here, or the icon is for common use. But I understand you have exhausted this discussion already... I will stop, LOL.

1:28 am

moonwoof

No, it's not useful to argue about Any of it. I'm just disappointed.

1:29 am

sprite

remember the day mrP came home? All limecats :)

1:29 am

MVA

hi babrab

1:30 am

sprite

which reminds me... after the crash I lost all my icons. Also my little lurker here. Better refind it on the internet! Before I go with a theme for the day and afterwards have to go without my lurker...

1:30 am

moonwoof

really? that would have been Uber confusing for me, but amusing, nonetheless

1:30 am

sprite

very amusing, and mrP loved it, woof. And yes, it was a little confusing, but since the names are next to them, it was ok.

1:30 am

cybernan

ah -- just spotted the volcano and got down to 50 all in one fell swoop --- good night all -- see you tomorrow :)

1:30 am

jillibus

the dolphin is a phantom

1:44 am

I promise, it's virus free. I've been offline for a while, but I've never seen anything get thru the hardware firewalls my friend makes.

1:45 am

moonwoof

Dern dolphin!

1:45 am

I could have sworn it took that one. =P

1:45 am

Hi Lady!

1:46 am

Marmar, can I ask you something? Are you planning on becoming pro or do you like being unpro?

1:47 am

sprite

why do I always forget which babblet is the buffalo...

1:47 am

sprite

is it the t4?

1:47 am

jillibus

an sprite

1:47 am

moonwoof

I am So glad you're the writter... I'm as graceful with words as I am with toupees

1:48 am

lollll woof.... SO not true. You are a marvel with toupees. Couldn't do it half as well if I tried.

1:48 am

moonwoof

Me, neither =P

1:48 am

jillibus

the buffalo is a phantom too

1:49 am

I consider that a yes ;)

1:49 am

herinfernallady

is there two JU words please

1:49 am

Marmar

Sprite, I want to, my husband offered it to me as a Christmas present but the day before he sort of insulted me (that I spend too much time here) so I refused....can you say "bite off your nose to spite your face"?....I can be so dumb sometimes.

1:49 am

jillibus

yes, sprite!

1:50 am

sprite

lol Marmar, no way, good for you. Presents should be something to enjoy, not things that have a bad aftertaste.

1:50 am

moonwoof

Should we spite her face?

1:50 am

metaleather

My mom sucks, and I need a new one. I can't pay well, but I take myself out for walks. Interested?

1:51 am

Marmar

Sprite, Instead I signed up for an online scripture study, never done anything like that before. But I will probably just sign up for Pro on my own soon.

1:52 am

sprite

I love your name, actually, woof.

1:52 am

I can see how that would be bad, woof. But now you are grown up, you can boast an original and strong name.

1:53 am

sprite

wb Fran! Did it work?

1:53 am

moonwoof

I am litter trained. And I clean stuff as often as any other fur kid. But *I* have a driver's licence and can be there in 3 months...

1:55 am

metaleather

1:56 am

moonwoof

Those Are real names, sprite. That's what Frank Zappa named his son and daughter respectively.

1:56 am

1:56 am

FranMag

I can build a bigger desk. It'll work out fine, Mom!

1:57 am

I've always wondered why they got stuck with those and the other boy got the relatively normal sounding Ahmet

1:57 am

sprite

kind of cruel, woof

1:57 am

herinfernallady

thanks.

1:57 am

herinfernallady

Sorry if i have been mean and rude over the last few days

1:57 am

moonwoof

I think even Frank Zappa can buckle under enuf peer pressure...

1:58 am

sprite

as a kid, I had neighbours with last name Olie (oil). Dad's first name was Peter. Right, Petrol, in dutch exactly so. Guy named his daughter Petra.

1:58 am

herinfernallady

Fran i used to work in the court system and i didn't see that ju 5

1:59 am

FranMag

well, it is twisty infernal, perfectly understandable.

1:59 am

the ju5 is the only one I have. I better get moving, or I will babble away my translating time!

1:59 am

sprite

moon, did you get my email?

1:59 am

moonwoof

Actually, Sprite, now that I'm all Growd Up, I realize it's all perspective. Little kids mock Everything. I could have been named Jenny or Liz or anything and they would have mocked me.

1:59 am

FranMag

lynxxx, if i wasn't looking for I words, it wouldn't have been found until later i'm sure. :-)

2:01 am

FranMag

and if you have a normal name like Frances, they decide that you look like Carol Burnett and call you that. :-)

2:01 am

sprite

if they cannot mock you over your name, they will mock you over your nose, mouth, hands, clothes, bike, shoes, mom, dad, friends, grades....

2:40 am

moonwoof

Want to take bets on how long it takes her to notice her new status?

2:40 am

lynxxx

2:40 am

2:40 am

FranMag

2:41 am

moonwoof

That's very true.

2:41 am

2:41 am

FranMag

FranMag

which pet was it, i know you guys have a few

2:42 am

moonwoof

That's harsh MrP. I empathize.

2:42 am

sprite

2:43 am

moonwoof

Ella was a rat, correct?

2:43 am

lynxxx

thats sad MRP...give her an extra cuddle from us all.

2:43 am

mrpresident

Her favourite pet that loved her so much, Ella was the rat, and Claire, the other rat, is crying

2:43 am

moonwoof

Learning that life is constantly changing is a good thing to learn, tho.

2:44 am

sprite

that is incredible. Didn't know they could. I am gonna send Maddison an e-card at your addy, mrP, okay?

2:45 am

moonwoof

Having a loved one die is a hard way to do it... but maybe they can help console one another.

2:45 am

mrpresident

my son cuddled her for half and hour, crying... he is sad for claire too. claire is trying to wake ella up, is kissing and cuddling up to her. It is so sad

2:45 am

mrpresident

thanks sprite, that woud be lovely!

2:46 am

FranMag

so maddison won't know until tomorrow? poor thing

2:46 am

moonwoof

It's good that she still has a big family to help her thru it, tho.

2:47 am

mrpresident

i wonder should I call her and tell her. Ella has been very sick for the last couple of days so she knew what might come

2:48 am

FranMag

i wouldn't mrp

2:49 am

sprite

I would not. Early enough when she gets home.

2:49 am

moonwoof

She cant change it where she's at. Unless you can go get her I dont think I would tell her, yet...

2:49 am

mrpresident

i took the rat to an emergeny vet at 11pm about a month ago... we noticed she was really unwell. she seemed to recover, but we knew it was a matter of time. poor ella, poor maddie

2:50 am

Flask1

Good morning all......any chance of a clue for ad6/7 combo please?

2:50 am

moonwoof

Morning Flask!

2:50 am

mrpresident

she wanted the rat to have an operation to save her, but I know that the operation and recovery would have been worse! we would have had a very depressed rat, in pain and not living a rat life. I explained that to maddie and she accepted that

2:51 am

FranMag

hi flask!

2:51 am

metaleather

hi Flask

2:51 am

FranMag

2:51 am

Well, if she accepted that, then perhaps she can accept that her friend isnt in pain, anymore.

2:52 am

lynxxx

2:54 am

FranMag

2:55 am

Flask1

FranMag

3:01 am

metaleather

3:01 am

moonwoof

3:05 am

FranMag

3:06 am

coolits

frank can i have for a clue for 8's plz?

3:06 am

moonwoof

Just to bug you, Dr. G has updated the site with optical illusions to draw you off the course of Real Words.

3:07 am

FranMag

coolits, i only have two, di8 and me8

3:07 am

moonwoof

It's like those illusions that are really in black and white but fool your brain into seeing colors...

3:07 am

FranMag

di8 is like a pan****** photo (really wide), but start with di

3:07 am

coolits

ok thats good...

3:08 am

FranMag

me8 is one who tries to reach a resolution between two parties

3:09 am

coolits

very well then.. thnks that could be help

3:09 am

moonwoof

me8's are often diplomats

3:11 am

FranMag

moon, do you have the ju7? someone mentioned it earlier, but i haven't found it yet

3:13 am

moonwoof

yes... the group of peers you mentioned earier... take off the "y" and add ac**** (not alkaline)

3:14 am

FranMag

3:14 am

moonwoof

3:14 am

moonwoof

yw, of course.

3:14 am

coolits

any other clue for di8??

3:15 am

FranMag

a scene, often in miniature, reproduced in three dimensions by placing objects, figures, etc., in front of a painted background.

3:15 am

FranMag

that's the definition, the di8 is the adjective version of that word.

3:16 am

moonwoof

hmm. di8 = latin word for god + a male goat + "**k, that tastes awful"

3:16 am

coolits

tnx frank got it

3:16 am

Hi Traveller

3:33 am

FranMag

we went to see an open house today, it was absolutely gorgeous!

3:33 am

mrpresident

go look on google.com/maps

3:33 am

lynxxx

Are you in the market too Fran?

3:34 am

moonwoof

I will mention, tho, that IF you are a "duh" you have good taste. Welcome to the grid

3:34 am

traveller

hello lynxxx

3:34 am

FranMag

lynxxx, we like to dream that we can afford a house here. :-)

3:34 am

moonwoof

I have dreams about places with a dishwasher that works...

3:34 am

traveller

lol...i think this is my third or 4th... have finished 2

3:35 am

FranMag

that's great for a newbie traveller

3:35 am

lynxxx

wow! thats fantastic traveller, took me months!

3:35 am

traveller

well.... lickety and helpful clues.... great site

3:35 am

moonwoof

Then you're doing better than I did, when I started, traveller. It took me 2 weeks of banging my head on a dictionary before I figured out that people were even cluing.

3:36 am

traveller

many words i have never heard of.... now have a big list of words to look up some meanings

3:36 am

lynxxx

I don't think Lickety was going when I first started - Fran?

3:36 am

moonwoof

I dont think I finished a grid that whole time and I kept wondering what people meant when they kept saying "fireworks".

3:36 am

moonwoof

I like that part, actually. The dictionary is a great book, even if it lacks charachter development.

3:37 am

FranMag

when i started lickety was around, that was almost two years ago

3:38 am

moonwoof

Well, it was 2 months ago... and I was too thick to realize anyone might make something like Lickety did... I'm so dense sometimes it's eerie.

3:38 am

FranMag

i actually didn't play a grid until May 2006 even though i started my account in March

3:38 am

lynxxx

Traveller - you know you can click on the ? next to bthe words and get the meanings (most times)

3:38 am

moonwoof

omg. *I* didnt know that Lynxx LOL

3:38 am

traveller

the hard part of this site - is leaving it to do whatever needs to be done lol..... like now i need sleep...

3:39 am

moonwoof

See? I'm still an id5

3:39 am

FranMag

hah! traveller is hooked, time to go pro

3:39 am

moonwoof

I thought I was missing a graphic or something LOL

3:39 am

lynxxx

lol thanks id5! didn't have that

3:40 am

moonwoof

yw, I'll call it a fair trade. =)

3:40 am

traveller

crikey fran - just finding my way around the site - pro is a bit much lol

3:40 am

traveller

i must have an addictive personallity (1 L or 2??)

3:41 am

FranMag

after two weeks it gets harder traveller, you won't have the tile and word stats. :-)

3:41 am

moonwoof

Pro actually makes it a little easier, traveller, IMO.

3:41 am

moonwoof

one "L"

3:41 am

lynxxx

especially after the first 2 weeks!

3:41 am

traveller

ahhhh then i might need to reconsider

3:41 am

moonwoof

personality. Something I'm accused of, so I looked it up {{grin}}

3:42 am

moonwoof

Especially after your first couple of weeks and the stats go away.

3:42 am

FranMag

it's a lifetime membership, so it's a great deal traveller

3:42 am

traveller

ok will consider it

3:42 am

moonwoof

And 15 bucks is Nothing for a good game, nowadays.

3:42 am

FranMag

okay, getting late here, i have to get to some other puzzles and then to bed

3:42 am

lynxxx

and and and - you can then ask Lickety for BasbbleExpert - your life will be sooo much easier when we get the huge grids

3:43 am

traveller

our exchange rate might be more - but will look

3:43 am

moonwoof

Nite fran. Sleep sweet =)

3:43 am

traveller

huge grids

3:43 am

lynxxx

goodnite Fran

3:43 am

moonwoof

Yup. Huge. The largest since *I* started was 300 some... But there have been 500s

3:44 am

traveller

but... must sleep - nice to chat - night and good luck with the grid

3:44 am

lynxxx

300-400+ They used to take me hours and hours before BabbleExpert

3:44 am

carleekat

so is this a real grid or just another sicko twisted monster in disguide?

5:31 am

carleekat

disguise

5:32 am

Eva

sicko

5:32 am

carleekat

so I shouldn't even BOTHER starting..as I will be equally angry today as yesterday?

5:33 am

Eva

I don't know carlee.

5:33 am

Eva

I've been finding them all frustrating recently, but that might be due to my sun starved half/brain

5:35 am

Eva

there's lots of poison to take in the grid if things get too hard

5:36 am

carleekat

lovely... that at least is comforting

5:39 am

carleekat

holy cow..going up to 62 here later today...

5:39 am

Eva

i know-there was a record here overnight of 42!

5:40 am

Eva

it will probably make everything incredibly slippery, but it's nice to have the snow sliding off the roof even if the avalanches make us jump every time

5:41 am

carleekat

it was 52 here yesterday.... most of our snow all gone

5:41 am

carleekat

cripes I just looked it was 52 over night too

5:41 am

Eva

funny that it's warmer up there than in Vermont

5:42 am

carleekat

the great lakes....

5:42 am

carleekat

it makes us more like west coast ntil a long chill time occurs to close up the lakes

5:42 am

Eva

those bring a warming environment?

5:43 am

carleekat

actually we NEED a long deep freeze to get the water levels coming back up

5:43 am

Eva

Lake Champlain doesn't do the same thing. Burlington has a wicked cold wind.

5:44 am

Eva

How does a deep freeze raise water levels?

5:44 am

carleekat

water cools slower then air...and is the cold air mass that brings in winter....with the ground bordered by a "warm mass" yes...keep sus warmer...lake champlain is... a teeny tiny lake compared tot he great lakes

5:44 am

carleekat

keeps water from being evaporated .....puts a lid on evaporation

5:45 am

carleekat

once the lake frozen..look out...FREEZING COLD weather

5:46 am

Eva

ah. I never knew that, but it makes a lot of sense. Maybe that's one reason that droughts are so rare here. It has been a relief to have a real winter this year, as opposed to the semi-tropical one we had last time. The ski areas have been celebrating and the entire economy depends on snow. I hope we aren't going into another weird one now and that this is only a temporary January thaw.

5:47 am

carleekat

i'm all for spring happening now..but that just me be selfish..i HATE the cold

5:48 am

carleekat

i want to live somewhere wherewinter means 70f

5:48 am

Eva

okay....so why Ontario?

5:48 am

carleekat

my family..my husband...we grew up here.....our parents grew up here...and so on

5:49 am

Eva

We have been thinking lately about being someplace else for part of the winter. Seems the natural trend for those over 50 around here. Everyone seems to be moving to Ashville, NC(-:

5:49 am

carleekat

my father lives 1/2 time up here...1/2 in braydenton ( sp?) florida

5:50 am

Eva

the warmth in Florida just doesn't make up for everything else about Florida for me.

5:51 am

Eva

well, I've got 66 left and going nowhere fast.

5:51 am

carleekat

he's on gulf side norht of tampa...where there is a bazillion golf courses

5:51 am

chiley

Ok...I'll jump in here. I was born & raised in Asheville and have lived in Florida since 1980. I go back to visit my son, but cannot wait to leave Asheville and head back home.

5:52 am

carleekat

i want to move overseas actually

5:52 am

Eva

I'm really interested in knowing more about why chiley?Trying to learn more about the Ashville area.

5:53 am

carleekat

scarlet lives in asheville eva

5:53 am

Eva

where do you dream of being carlee?

5:53 am

carleekat

5:54 am

chiley

Well, for starters, I'm used to having cultural opportunities here in Fl. We enjoy the Broadway series of plays, philharmonic concerts, etc. It's just a different lifestyle.

5:54 am

emtiandeca

an 7 please

5:54 am

wow! I've spent quite a bit of time in Israel but only been in Egypt once, and that was the Sinai. Why Cairo?

5:55 am

5:55 am

herinfernallady

Hi

5:55 am

carleekat

i don't know really... a feeling... I am friends with a few egyptians..i love their sense of humour...but its just a gut feeling

5:55 am

Eva

Interesting chiley, because one hears so much about asheville being a cultural mecca

5:56 am

Eva

hi hrein

5:56 am

emtiandeca

Thanks - great clue

5:56 am

carleekat

i need to go there...maybe not live...but I definitely need to vosit

5:56 am

Eva

yw

5:57 am

Eva

The middle east is about as different from New England as anything could be...in terms of nature but also expressive patterns, attitudes towards privacy, etc. A wonderful way to stretch oneseelf.

5:58 am

chiley

There are a lot of artists who live there. It's become quite well known as an art colony. But I don't think it can compare with the West Palm/Ft. Lauderdale area for performing arts.

5:58 am

carleekat

i am very good friends with many of the muslim women here in my city... I know some of the language...

5:59 am

Eva

sounds like its time for a visit...and if you have friends with family there it will make it so much richer.

6:00 am

Eva

however, its certainly no 70 degrees all the time there. How are you with grueling dry heat?

6:01 am

carleekat

no no no..i said I want winter of 70f

6:01 am

carleekat

I LOVE 100F

6:01 am

sounds like you definitely need to get going!

hi, people who pray, could you please pray for me? my sleep troubles have been increasing and i'm going to ask my doctor to increase my dose - which is only necessary because i'd told her the wrong dose to begin with - less than i was on - can you just pray that she'll do that for me and i can get some good nights' sleep again?

6:50 am

hydra

Anyone got that first re5/18?

6:50 am

jean1953

Hi Hurshy, I will certainly remember you in my prayers lets hope you can get some sleep soon:)

6:50 am

Angelsong

bfsog...you can see some of my work. I did the online resource guide for Babble.

6:51 am

hydra

Oh, poor hurshy. I do sympathise. I suffered insomnia for three years and had to resort to getting visitors to Spain to buy me over the counter sleeping tabs cos the doc wouldn't give me any. Now I've bought a white noise machine and am sleeping much better as it shushes you to sleep and calms the brain.

6:51 am

periwinkle

never thought of white noise machine

6:52 am

jbp

i have one of those, and LOVE it

6:52 am

hurshy

i've tried that but it doesn't work that well for me. i use earplugs, plus prescription meds. but in the last couple months it's gotten worse - maybe bc of my accident? and i had one of my bad nightmares last night, which i haven't had in ages.

6:53 am

jean1953

Oh Hurshy that is so grim for you, I get the occasional night of not sleeping too good and I know how that feels you poor thing

6:53 am

hydra

It cost me £79 but is worth every penny. They are made in the States and mine is called a Sound Screen Sleep Mate dual speed.

6:54 am

i just read a study that showed that not getting good sleep can increase your risk of diabetes as much as putting on 30 pounds would!

7:26 am

Jacula

di8 = surname of designer Christian + French friend + consonant that sounds visual or watery.

7:26 am

Anniebrook

Hi Jacula!

7:31 am

Katie I thought it would be a :-( not a :-)

7:31 am

Scrabbler

((Babble buddies))

7:32 am

KatieMcG

It hurts so much at the moment I can't wait to get them taken out!!

7:32 am

Scrabbler

Is your appt today?

7:32 am

pinkhatlil

Scrabbler, your icon was a hot topic this morning!

7:32 am

Scrabbler

Why, oh, why?

7:33 am

bbnaz

hello everyone

7:33 am

Scrabbler

I changed it once, to match the daily theme, and I was told to bring back the green bunny.

7:33 am

Scrabbler

Hi Betsy!

7:33 am

EspritdJean

what happened to yuo Katiew?

7:33 am

Anniebrook

hello, bbnaz

7:33 am

Anniebrook

good morning Babblers

7:34 am

7:34 am

Anniebrook

and Nono, hi

7:34 am

Scrabbler

Hi Nanette

7:34 am

bbnaz

arizona

7:34 am

KatieMcG

It's tomorrow scrabbler, Esprit, nothing serious I just need two teeth taken out which will stop the toothache :-)

7:34 am

johnnyrocket

what a lovelye state

7:34 am

bbnaz

Nono, I have really enjoyed your videos of late!

7:34 am

Jacula

Hi, nono & bb and anyone else I've missed.

7:34 am

Scrabbler

Hi johnny

7:34 am

EspritdJean

ah, feel better!

7:34 am

bbnaz

Jac! Nice to see you.

7:35 am

NonoNanette

ty bb

7:35 am

pinkhatlil

because another player had your icon, and some thought they should have changed it, and others thought you do not own the icon, so anyone can use it. To cut a long story short, the babbler left the chat room! check log between 12:30 and 1:30am

7:35 am

Scrabbler

I watched the Beatrix Potter movie, "Miss Potter", on Saturday and loved it. I have posters of her drawings in Callie's bedroom.

7:35 am

johnnyrocket

hey scrabb

7:36 am

Scrabbler

True, I do not own it at all, and sometimes Babblers do have the same icon. But there is only one of me.

7:36 am

Jacula

Scrabbs - I watched that film just before Christmas. It's really nice. I watched an adaptation of Ballet Shoes last night (I'd recorded it over the holiday) and loved it.

7:37 am

Anniebrook

Scrabbler, the next movie on my netflix list is Amazing Grace...look forward to seeing it

7:38 am

Scrabbler

I still think of it, and William Wilberforce. You must watch the music video in the Special Features section too.

7:38 am

Anniebrook

Will do, scrabbs

7:39 am

Angelsong

we have already had 1179 words in Babble this year.

7:39 am

KatieMcG

Been back to check the chat, it seemed a bit harsh, although if i'd have done it I would have changed it when I realised.

7:40 am

KatieMcG

I had to change my icon away from Fuggy as someone was phobic about rodents, didn't mind as we are one big happy family in chat.

7:40 am

Scrabbler

It would not have bothered me, Kitt.

7:40 am

Scrabbler

Angel, I am glad they were not all in one grid.

7:41 am

Anniebrook

When I first came into Babbleland I had FM's icon. It was brought to my attention and I changed it..It was not a problem at all

7:41 am

Anniebrook

Scrabbler is the green bunny and that's it!!!

7:41 am

KatieMcG

It's funny how some people get upset and things that don't bother others :-)

7:41 am

pinkhatlil

babblers having the same icon doesn't bother me, however, it was a personal pic taken with my camera as someone pointed out, i'd be very annoyed.

7:42 am

Uniquity

Icons are apparently tremendously more important than I had ever thought before...just read back to that. Whew!

7:43 am

Anniebrook

I am going to read the brouhaha...be back soon

7:43 am

pinkhatlil

*if it was* typo!

7:43 am

Jacula

I'll read back later as doing so freezes my browser. I guess it's like turning up at a function (the icon thing) and finding someone wearing the same dress as you.

7:43 am

pinkhatlil

lol jacula, you hit the nail on the head!

7:43 am

Uniquity

Quick question - Lately when I refresh babble I get a "word list couldn't be loaded" error message. Has anyone else had this?

7:44 am

Uniquity

My junior high prom (ugh) 4 people had the same dress as me! We were stylish...

7:45 am

KatieMcG

one of my friend when I was younger had a tatoo done, turned up at the pub and there was a girl with the same one on the same place on her shoulder. Put me off tatoos for life!!

7:46 am

Jacula

Okay, I have 20 words left to find. Got work to do. BBL. Happy Babbling!

7:46 am

pinkhatlil

bye jac!

7:47 am

pinkhatlil

i haven't had that problem uni, with the word list

7:47 am

Uniquity

Neither had I until the other day...maybe it's just a surprise glitch

7:50 am

pinkhatlil

must do lunch bbs

7:50 am

KatieMcG

I don't know if it is just me but i'm really finding it hard today. I can see the list being used very early :-)

7:50 am

EvaNadine

mornin babblers!

7:50 am

Uniquity

I used the list at forty! I feel so weak...but I am not making progress even with list.

7:50 am

Uniquity

Morning Eva!

7:51 am

EvaNadine

how is everyonet oday?

7:51 am

Uniquity

Bad at babble, good in life ;) Yourself?

7:51 am

Scrabbler

I reviewed the chat and I don't think egbokmom left because of the icon discussion.

7:51 am

EvaNadine

sleepy, but good. :)

7:53 am

Scrabbler

I just noticed the J--it was hiding on me all this time.

7:54 am

Anniebrook

I just read the chat about the green bunny...i agree with scrabbler..I think egbok just left not because of the icon. We need a copyright lawyer here. LOL

7:54 am

Uniquity

Or maybe we need to wait and see if the original icon holder would be upset (I read it more carefuly and it reminds me of another mega icon fight of recent weeks)

7:55 am

EvaNadine

rut roh -- what did i miss this morning?

7:55 am

Scrabbler

Most of our snow has melted during this January thaw. I was smart to cross-country ski on Friday. Now we have to wait for more snow.

7:55 am

mari

fireworks !!

7:55 am

KatieMcG

Uni, you make me feel so much better I'm on 39 and going for the list :-) Honestly I didn't know icons were such a sore subject for some people. I always use my own photos so at least I'm not going to upset anyone

7:55 am

Uniquity

Scooby or Astro, Eva? :)

7:55 am

Uniquity

YAY mari!

7:56 am

KatieMcG

Go Mari :-) and you are in the grid if not a word :-)

7:56 am

Scrabbler

Yahooo Mari! And your name is in the grid--I noted it earlier.

7:56 am

EvaNadine

whichever works, uni. ;)

7:56 am

pinkhatlil

congrats mari!

7:56 am

KatieMcG

Now you have an afternoon with children to look forward to ;-)

7:57 am

bbnaz

this grid is trench warfare for me

7:57 am

bbnaz

HUZZAH ,aro

7:57 am

bbnaz

*mari

7:57 am

Scrabbler

I am struggling too, Betsy--it is a humbling experience.

7:57 am

bbnaz

even my fingers can't find the keys

7:58 am

Uniquity

Alright...class ahoy! Be back later, take care all

7:58 am

KatieMcG

bb, join the club!

7:58 am

pinkhatlil

be uni!!

7:58 am

KatieMcG

bye Uni :-)

7:58 am

Scrabbler

Take good notes, Uni.

7:58 am

Anniebrook

later, Uni!

7:59 am

Scrabbler

Phantom = adroit

7:59 am

Scrabbler

And "adorer"...damn, I can't find the AD words. *hint=help?*

7:59 am

pinkhatlil

and cypriot scrabbs

8:00 am

Scrabbler

Haha, I would not have seen cypriot--too sophisticated for me.

8:00 am

pinkhatlil

ad + guilty or innocent vote givers

8:02 am

Scrabbler

Ha, I typed in adplea....I am a moron.

8:02 am

KatieMcG

thanks pink:-)

8:02 am

pinkhatlil

lol

8:02 am

Anniebrook

thanks, pink!

8:02 am

KatieMcG

lol scrabbler :-)

8:03 am

Scrabbler

Is the 7 related?

8:03 am

pinkhatlil

ad6 is very similar, change ending

8:03 am

bbnaz

well there is one of the 8s

8:03 am

pinkhatlil

yes scrabbler

8:04 am

Scrabbler

And I am a moron again--I found the ad6 first.

8:04 am

Scrabbler

Those are new words for me.

8:05 am

Scrabbler

I am going down the list and will go in reverse alphabetical order, just for fun. These little things give me such joy in life, haha/

8:06 am

KatieMcG

I'm wedded to my routine, when I try and go from bottom to top I get too confused ;-)

8:06 am

pinkhatlil

i seem to do the grid faster when going backwards, strange!

8:06 am

EvaNadine

a few pictures of my brand new baby niece up on my flickr account (and in my babble profile!)if anyone wants to take a peek.
:)

8:07 am

pinkhatlil

is that baby's mum in pic

8:08 am

Scrabbler

What is her name and when was she born?

8:08 am

KatieMcG

She's lovely eva :-)

8:09 am

EvaNadine

thats me in the picture...she was born friday morning, as of saturday, still to be named...dunno if theyve chosen a name yet, but they will have to soon, as theyre supposed to be going home today!

8:10 am

Scrabbler

I have seen babies leave the newborn nursery with no name...some parents want more time to ponder names. Until the birth certificate has a name, they are "baby boy" or "baby girl"

8:11 am

EvaNadine

from what i understand, i think here, they have to have a name for the birth cert + that has to be filled out before they leave...

8:12 am

Scrabbler

She has a very cute little face!

8:12 am

EvaNadine

and lots of dark hair!

8:13 am

bbnaz

man that di8 made me dizzy typing it.......

8:13 am

Aloyisius

Congratulations, Aunt Eva! Happy Monday to all

8:13 am

pinkhatlil

gosh, i didn't name my daughter until she was well over a week old, and i was allowed to leave hospital

8:13 am

Scrabbler

Oh, Betsy, make me get dizzy, please. Hi Aloy

8:13 am

EvaNadine

knowing my brother, he may have just told her the hospital said that to hurry her along. ;)

8:14 am

KatieMcG

Lol eva ;-)

8:16 am

Angelsong

fireworks for me.

8:16 am

Scrabbler

ty5 anyone?

8:16 am

Scrabbler

And the Y's and the ur7's and.....

8:16 am

Scrabbler

Yahooo Angel!

8:16 am

NonoNanette

woohooo congrats Angel!

8:17 am

EspritdJean

something that is "usual"

8:17 am

Aloyisius

yay, Angelsong!!!

8:17 am

EspritdJean

8:17 am

EspritdJean

ty***al

8:17 am

pinkhatlil

8:17 am

Scrabbler

8:17 am

KatieMcG

congrats Angelsong :-)

8:18 am

Scrabbler

8:18 am

Scrabbler

british spelling threw me off

8:18 am

pinkhatlil

wtg angel

8:18 am

amelu0218

ty6, a rather evil ruler?

8:18 am

pinkhatlil

thanks amelu

8:19 am

amelu0218

welcome!

8:19 am

Scrabbler

Haha, I once called my boss, Richard Head, a ty6, and he still wants me to apologize, rather than ask why I chose that word.

8:19 am

Scrabbler

Hi amelue and ty

8:19 am

amelu0218

*waves*

8:20 am

carleekat

this grid SUCKS! worse then yesterday's

8:20 am

Scrabbler

**waving back**

8:20 am

pinkhatlil

LOL scrabbler, i guess he'll have to hold his breathe for one of those!

8:20 am

pinkhatlil

hey, carlee

8:20 am

EspritdJean

LOL he's lucky you only called him a ty**** instead of his shortened first name and last name

8:20 am

carleekat

hi pink ~~~~~

8:20 am

Scrabbler

I never finished yesterday, carlee, and hello, as I was not home all day and when I returned late there was no one to clue for me

8:20 am

periwinkle

hi all, back from my walk

8:21 am

carleekat

i gave up

8:21 am

periwinkle

yes, this grid is worse than yesterday's

8:21 am

carleekat

{{{PERI}}}

8:21 am

NonoNanette

hi Carlee

8:21 am

Scrabbler

Hi Periwinkle!

8:21 am

carleekat

and I think I will already throw in towel for today

8:22 am

Aloyisius

aww, carlee.. don't leave us to struggle

8:22 am

EspritdJean

ok somebody HAS to appreciate my joke about scrabbler's boss

8:22 am

montreal13

"Have tea, will babble" - how's everyone ?

8:22 am

pinkhatlil

wb peri

8:22 am

Aloyisius

head buried in grid, Esprit.. missed your joke.. hi peri

8:22 am

carleekat

I didn't say leave.....i'm just not entering words

8:22 am

LadyNatts

oh too bad Scrabbler... I was on for quite a while... not a soul was talking or asking for clues, so I left. I had finished the grid yesterday morning.

8:22 am

pinkhatlil

didnt understand it

8:23 am

NonoNanette

wb Peri and hi luc

8:23 am

amelu0218

LOL! There was a guy in our office we used to call Richard Cranium... of course, he's the one who started it...

8:23 am

EspritdJean

do you know the nickname for "richard" pinkie?

8:23 am

pinkhatlil

no

8:23 am

Scrabbler

I got it, Jean. TY. He brought it up at a mtg recently and said, "I am still waiting for an apology" and I just stared at him.

8:23 am

Aloyisius

LOL... got your joke, carlee..

8:23 am

carleekat

hi aloy

8:24 am

pinkhatlil

im guessing its d**k maybe EJ?

8:24 am

Scrabbler

He hasn't bothered to wonder or ask, "Why would you think I am a ty6?"

8:24 am

EspritdJean

yes add that to his last name of Head

8:24 am

Aloyisius

doofus, methinks

8:25 am

Scrabbler

Any help with the Y words?

8:25 am

bbnaz

well that storm that has pounded California arrived yesterday and this morning it is cold, windy and raining. quite nice actually

8:25 am

pinkhatlil

he must really grate on you, i'd be really offended if someone called me one

8:25 am

Aloyisius

i have one that rhymes with the tweetie animal

8:26 am

Aloyisius

yi4 that is

8:26 am

Scrabbler

TY, Aloy--now i do recall seeing that here before. I need to store it into my Babble harddrive

8:26 am

bbnaz

YI4 sounds like where the grass grows only with the I vowel instead

8:26 am

Scrabbler

He grates on everyone in his path, Lil.

8:27 am

Aloyisius

yw, Scrabbler. there are a bunch of babblets in this grid

8:27 am

bbnaz

and the other sounds like the scots word for man

8:27 am

Scrabbler

Ty for yi4

8:27 am

Scrabbler

Oh, I got it on my first try, Betsy--TY

8:27 am

periwinkle

can't see the ad6 and ad7

8:27 am

bbnaz

nevermind then, putting my head back down into the grid

8:28 am

Scrabbler

And with 110 remaining, I must get ready to take on the day. Bye everyone.

8:28 am

bbnaz

Peri - when you go to trial you are entitled to a **** of your peers

8:28 am

Aloyisius

bye, Scrabbler.. have a marvy Monday!

8:28 am

bbnaz

a member of that **** is called a *****

8:29 am

Scrabbler

Marvy, I like that.

8:29 am

bbnaz

so ad + singular member of that group

8:29 am

bbnaz

for the ad6 change the ending by leaving off final consonant and changing the vowel to the second vowel

8:30 am

Aloyisius

second cuppa time, brb

8:30 am

periwinkle

8:44 am

pinkhatlil

normally a grid of this size i would have completed, but this is slow and painful

8:44 am

Aloyisius

di8 is all about the box you made in grade school that has a little scene in it

8:45 am

Jayde287

Guess I won't finish this one today

8:45 am

grammaterri1

I have a cr8

8:45 am

Hello again. Haz - see my icon & bio.

9:05 am

Aloyisius

ty, all. Lucien is a great name

9:05 am

Haz1558

Hello Jacula - looking now.

9:05 am

Haz1558

I love it! I yelled with laughter and Spangle is now barking in confusion.

9:05 am

Aloyisius

LOL, good one, Jacula!

9:06 am

Jacula

I thought you'd like it, Haz. (Sorry Spangle!)

9:06 am

Haz1558

She's settled down again - cat patrol at the front door.

9:07 am

Tallyho, and off I go... happy Babbling to all. See you next time.. (-:

bye aloy HAGD!!!

9:07 am

Haz1558

Tinkety-tonk, Aloy. (Can you detect the PG Wodehouse influence?)

9:07 am

Jacula

My cat keeps using the bathroom window as a cat flap, which would be fine if he'd close it after him. *sighs* I don't really want the window wide open in this weather.

9:07 am

flosey

bye Aloy, see you at flip

9:08 am

Jacula

'Bye, Aloy.

9:08 am

Haz1558

Cats don't seem to respond to training, do they? I saw an article in the paper the other day about a Newfoundland which did just about everything bar paint the lady's toenails.

9:09 am

Jacula

Cats only respond to what it suits them to respond to.

9:10 am

Jacula

Did you read the article about the Christmas disaster involving a whippet in today's Daily Mail, Haz? V. funny.

9:10 am

Haz1558

So it seems.

9:11 am

Haz1558

Yes, I did. Poor man. He must have a great sense of humour if he's prepared to laugh about it.

9:12 am

Jacula

Please clue the di8 - driving me crazy

9:13 am

Haz1558

I'm sure Aloy would appreciate it, she was so happy to find plural forms of the injury site recently.

9:13 am

Jacula

The dog diary extract was good, too. I think it was in 'Weekend' magazine (D/Mail again).

9:13 am

pinkhatlil

fireworks, i said it yesterday, and i'll say it again, i am glad to see the back of this grid!!

9:14 am

Haz1558

Yes, I read it as well. I'm a sucker for dog stories.

9:14 am

Jacula

I'm saving both stories to show to my Mum.

9:14 am

moonwoof

the di8 = a pana***** camera angle but starts with di instead

9:14 am

NonoNanette

woohooo congrats pink!

9:14 am

hurshy

i know i know - di8 - related to a 3-D model like kids make for school projects

9:14 am

Jacula

Well done, pink.

9:14 am

Haz1558

di8 - di plus the ending on J M barry's Peter that makes it an all round view.

9:14 am

moonwoof

Morning everybody

9:15 am

pinkhatlil

hi moon, have you calmed down now lol

9:15 am

Haz1558

Or follow the 'New Look' creator with a vowel and the beginning of 'David's' creator.

9:15 am

NonoNanette

morning moon

9:15 am

Haz1558

moon wasn't the one who needed calming....

9:15 am

Jacula

Hello moon.

9:16 am

Haz1558

hurshy - you are here at a peculiar time?

9:16 am

Jacula

Calming? What's been going on? What did I miss?

9:16 am

moonwoof

Yes. And I'm sorry if it upset you, Pink. But I Am still very disappointed.

9:16 am

NonoNanette

Buttonman

Hi Nono

9:17 am

Haz1558

Good morning Buttonman and moonwoof.

9:17 am

hurshy

9:17 am

ursh

ty all for the di8 took me a while but i got it

9:17 am

Jacula

Hi, button.

9:17 am

hurshy

another reason why it's too bad i'll never hear from the place i sent my resume to this weekend.

9:17 am

moonwoof

I only have an at7 and no 5 behind it.

9:17 am

Haz1558

If you got yourself over here, you could clean my dog. Look at Jacula's profile to see what I mean.

9:17 am

Buttonman

morning Haz, how are you?

9:17 am

Buttonman

Hi Jacula

9:17 am

moonwoof

good job ursh!

9:18 am

Haz1558

I'm well, Button. I have a clean house, the bills are paid, the grid is here.....

9:18 am

Haz1558

Well done on the di8 ursh.

9:18 am

Buttonman

Moon, according to the list there is a at 5/10 behind it....can you clue me for the at 7 please

9:18 am

moonwoof

But she has a Very Dirty Dog.

9:19 am

Buttonman

Could not ask for a better day Haz

9:19 am

Haz1558

at6 is what you're looking for.

9:19 am

moonwoof

I'm sorry button. I read at6, too...

9:19 am

Buttonman

I am sorry.....I am talking about the an 7 and the five behind it...sorry

9:20 am

moonwoof

At7 = against + what we breath

9:20 am

Haz1558

In the interests of accuracy, Spangle isn't THAT dirty.

9:20 am

Haz1558

That's an7 though.

9:20 am

moonwoof

breathe (GACK!)

9:20 am

Buttonman

thanks Haz, got it...what about the 5?

9:20 am

moonwoof

and the aN7 ... it is So a monday morning.

9:21 am

Jacula

-P's home. I'd better look busy!;-o

9:21 am

Haz1558

You mean you haven't got the vacuum in the study with you?

9:21 am

I probably also meant that spangle is a Very Cute Dog.

I'm also a little glad it's monday for most everyone else too lol

9:24 am

pinkhatlil

moon, i just wish all that didn't happen this am. I have never seen a real argument on here before

9:24 am

moonwoof

I'm glad to see you got your new icon working =)

9:24 am

periwinkle

did I miss an argument?

9:24 am

hurshy

who had a argument? i haven't got time to load whole chat log, can someone sum up?

9:24 am

periwinkle

if so I am glad

9:25 am

moonwoof

Me, too, Pink. That's why I was so upset. I've Never seen anybody treat anyone else like that. Especially another Pro member... {{sigh}}

9:25 am

periwinkle

moon can you see a bigger picture of me when you click on my icon

9:25 am

moonwoof

I did It was lovely Peri.

9:25 am

Haz1558

I didn't see the beginning of the argument. Basically a new babbler had an icon normally used by Scrabbler. She had been told about it, but didn't change. Another member made quite a fuss about it.

9:26 am

periwinkle

when I click on my icon I just get another small picture

9:26 am

periwinkle

:-)

9:26 am

moonwoof

Well, but you have the original, and I think that would be better =D

9:27 am

good luck all in grid *hugs to all*

has Scarlet been on yet this am, have not seen her in a few days

9:27 am

flosey

I haven't seen Scarlet today

9:28 am

moonwoof

I feel really bad. I get really defensive about what I percieve as people picking on others. I empathize too much and I didnt deal well.

9:29 am

hurshy

hmm, that makes me feel better about my argument with mikey.

9:29 am

flosey

was that old argument going on again this morning? it dragged on a bit last night

9:29 am

moonwoof

That's one of the things I've adored about being here. Everyone that I've seen here has always been so supportive from what I've seen. And the newbie felt so bad she left the chat and the grid.

9:30 am

Haz1558

moon - I'll probably get shot down in flames (again) but it's not the first time that player has upset others.

9:30 am

moonwoof

No, not again, Flosey. Honest.

9:30 am

Haz1558

You argued with Mikey, hurshy? How could you?

9:30 am

moonwoof

I've Never seen them before, Haz. Is it something you really think they would do on purpose?

9:31 am

periwinkle

well, off to take a shower, and do some chores around here, bbl

9:31 am

bbnaz

slogging away here with 68 to find. Actually having read the icon brouhaha, it didn't seem that the party left due to the icon issue. sounded basically tired that's all.

9:31 am

moonwoof

Cya Peri!

9:31 am

bbnaz

mikey from berlin?

9:31 am

Haz1558

All I'm going to say is that I no longer chat or have the chat log open at certain times.

9:31 am

moonwoof

Then the timing was pretty convienient.

9:31 am

FMitch

Afternoon,
My two penneth worth - it wasn't that big of a deal and the new person will either return or not. It doesn't help to keep mentioning it as it perpetuates the um event.

9:32 am

bbnaz

Haz, I enjoy your chat......

9:32 am

flosey

Haz, best to get away and let those who 'must' get it out

9:32 am

Haz1558

Hello FMitch!

9:33 am

flosey

right mitch but do hope she comes back

9:33 am

FMitch

moon - there have been and probably will be worse happenings in the log, we just have to live with them.
Hello Haz, loved Jacs funny pic earlier.

9:33 am

Haz1558

Thank you bb.

9:33 am

bbnaz

You know, it is only a game and chat. It is not like folks are writing references here. If my nose got in a knot everytime someone said something contrary to me, well what a waste of babble time (and future help of clues!)

9:34 am

Haz1558

Wasn't it great? I'll not show it to Spangle in case it gives her id4 s.

9:34 am

NonoNanette

and FIREWORKS!

9:34 am

kathw

anyway......can anyone help with the yi4 I'm sure its easy but it is driving me nuts

9:34 am

flosey

Haz, does Spangle like the water?

9:34 am

Haz1558

It's great that you can rise above it, bb.

9:35 am

Haz1558

Congratulations Nono!

9:35 am

flosey

WTG nono, good for you

9:35 am

FMitch

Congrats Nono

9:35 am

moonwoof

Hmm. Well, I'm not likely to ever know all the details or ever understand everyone here. I was just so Very surprised. I love it here. And so far have only seen generally positive supportive people...

9:35 am

moonwoof

Congrats Nono!

9:35 am

NonoNanette

kath it is like the place you grow grass but using the i instead

9:35 am

Haz1558

Spangle would LOVE the water if I allowed her to indulge in that sort of bathing.

9:36 am

Haz1558

Stick around, moon. We've had years of it.

9:36 am

flosey

lol, we have a pond but our lab won't swim but if she's chasing something, she'll run right through the creek

9:36 am

moonwoof

I really hope you mean years of support. =P

9:36 am

flosey

more support than anything else moon

9:36 am

Buttonman

WTG Mono

9:37 am

bbnaz

Moon, just like any large family, there are sometimes bruised feelings. Doesn't mean that you are not loved.

9:37 am

Haz1558

Yes, the positive outweighs the negative, but the negative has made me change my babbling habits.

9:37 am

bbnaz

HUZZAH Nono!

9:37 am

kathw

ty nono and congrats

9:38 am

FMitch

moon - take your rose coloured specs off, we are just like any extended family here in babble.
Sticks tongue out at Haz :)

9:38 am

NonoNanette

ok I am off now... happy babbling everyone

9:38 am

moonwoof

The really screwed up part, to me... Is that I usually only get like this about really dear friends I've had for years. I could care LESS what anyone says about me... But the moment it feels like someone else. I get all GGRRR faced.

9:39 am

moonwoof

I like rose... It's making your icon all redish...

9:39 am

moonwoof

Wait. That is your icon.

9:39 am

Haz1558

I'll see that tongue and raise you a raspberry, FMitch.

9:39 am

bbnaz

roflmfao

9:39 am

Cya Nono!

9:40 am

FMitch

So long as there is no cream Haz, raspberry away friend!

9:40 am

moonwoof

mmmm. raspberry ice cream

9:40 am

Haz1558

No, no cream.

9:40 am

Jacula

I'm back again for final 6 words. I just gave P that whippet article to read and then stabbed the jacket potatoes ready to put in the oven. *grins evilly* He winced.

9:41 am

Haz1558

He winced at the article?

9:41 am

FMitch

Hello Jacs, love your pic.

9:41 am

Haz1558

Or he winced at the thought of the subject of the article and then the potato stabbing?

9:41 am

Jacula

Haz - I timed it so I did the stabbing as he reached the pertinent part of the article.

9:41 am

Jacula

Hi FM.

9:41 am

Haz1558

And now he's sitting with legs crossed.

9:42 am

FMitch

LOL

9:42 am

Jacula

Yup, Haz, and a protective hand there.

9:42 am

Haz1558

Belt and braces.

9:42 am

FMitch

So long as he isn't wearing your undies - but that is a whole nother story

9:42 am

moonwoof

Amusingly Haz, when it's all little like that it looks like my partners dog.

9:43 am

Haz1558

I was impressed that he could get into his wife's undies.

9:43 am

Jacula

FM - ROFLOL

9:43 am

FMitch

OK am going to pretend I didnt type that in the first place!

9:43 am

bbnaz

dagnabbit Jac, I missed the photo fun I guess

9:43 am

Marc Freeman

Good morning, need a clue for ad6/33, please?

9:44 am

Jacula

bbnaz - photo's still there.

9:44 am

moonwoof

ad6 = to command solemnly

9:44 am

hurshy

i had a brief spurt of work!

9:44 am

moonwoof

ooops. that's the 39.

9:45 am

moonwoof

Ok, Mark. You meant 6.39

9:45 am

bbnaz

the pup playing in the water?

9:45 am

bbnaz

and where the heck are your flickr fotos?

9:45 am

Marc Freeman

yes I meant the 6/39, going to look for it now thanks

9:45 am

moonwoof

Is that good Hursh? I hope you didnt strain yourself.

9:45 am

Jacula

springer spaniel in muddy water, bb!

9:46 am

moonwoof

The 39 is the biggest clue, Marc

9:46 am

bbnaz

we raised springers for many years.........

9:46 am

Jacula

I don't know what happened to my flickr pics, bb. I can't get babble to accept them back.

9:46 am

billmster

ty Moon

9:47 am

moonwoof

Jac, that dog really doesnt look self cleaning... I'd say self-wetting. Even tho that sounds even more dirty.

9:47 am

moonwoof

yw bill and good morning

9:48 am

Jacula

moon - it was a play on something Haz said earlier about Spangle being self-cleaning.

9:48 am

flosey

does anyone have a clue for at6 please

9:48 am

bbnaz

not common flosey - the ending "al"

9:48 am

moonwoof

Well, now *I* have to go back and read the log.. ty Jac

9:48 am

Haz1558

at6 - not being the usual representation of something (normally with Mr Gore at the end)

9:49 am

FMitch

Sorry can't help flosey, don't actually have any words in my list

9:49 am

flosey

thanks bb and haz

9:49 am

bbnaz

62 to go........

9:49 am

Haz1558

Ooooh, FMitch is being all sensible and work-orientated again. The discipline of it all.

9:50 am

Haz1558

The sort of discipline that gets her high marks in her essays!

9:50 am

bbnaz

i am getting really sick of monkeying the or6 :p

9:50 am

FMitch

Umm well I wouldn't say that exactly. I should be work focused but babble side tracked me and Im playing around with some bracelet design ideas.

9:51 am

bbnaz

found it finally

9:51 am

Haz1558

That sounds good. We like to side track.

9:51 am

hurshy

work is good. i wish i always had plenty of it and didn't have to resort to babble at work.

9:52 am

moonwoof

BB, that was my last word... It's from the o way down in the corner, and that makes the word much easier.

9:52 am

Haz1558

Resort to babble. What kind of talk is that?

9:52 am

moonwoof

good job BB!

9:52 am

FMitch

blasphemy!

9:53 am

moonwoof

Is "shiny" a discipiline? If it is, I'm Very disciplined.

9:53 am

Haz1558

You'll get run out of town soon, hurshy, if you keep up that sort of talk.

9:53 am

bbnaz

i swear that i am slogging through thigh deep mud dragging along a grid called babble this date.

Haz1558

Sorry - was lost in morewords there. Let me think....

10:00 am

montreal13

"Have more tea, will babble some more" - need clue for an7/28 please...

10:00 am

Haz1558

I quite like it as a grid, enough normal words to make you feel half human, enough strange ones to make the hunt interesting.

10:00 am

Uniquity

Well, back from first class of the year nad had the weirdest experience yet. Our December exams (a three hour killer which destroyed many trees as well as my wrist) were stolen, unmarked from his car two hours after the exam. We have no marks...and have to take a class vote to double the weight of the final, or use our marks from our three papers. This is...bizarre

10:00 am

FMitch

The fact you have to think is probably statement enough!

Hello monty.

10:01 am

Uniquity

Unfortunately, that exam was going to bring my marks up, as well! This is a tough class, and I could have used the boost.

10:01 am

montreal13

hi FM, hazel Uni et al ...

10:01 am

Haz1558

Hello uniquity, and welcome back montreal.

10:02 am

What a situation Uni!

10:02 am

moonwoof

Morning Montie! And I'm sorry to hear Uni. Welcome to Monday.

10:02 am

Haz1558

Uniquity, that is really annoying, especially since you worked hard for the exam and during the exam.

10:02 am

montreal13

Stolen papers ...or laziness Uni ???

10:02 am

bbnaz

Oh Haz, I am enjoying the slog tremendously. It makes the puzzle far more interesting than a dash.

10:02 am

flosey

Hi Luc

10:02 am

moonwoof

an7 = against + what we breathe

10:02 am

Haz1558

Such a cynic, montreal, and from one so young.

10:02 am

flosey

10:02 am

bbnaz

Luc. How are you today?

10:03 am

bbnaz

the bunnies ran free in the backyard, she couldn't catch them.

10:22 am

Jacula

Very funny, Haz. ;-)

10:22 am

10:25 am

Haz1558

Congratulations on fireworks anyway, flosey. You did the work, you deserve the glory.

10:25 am

moonwoof

I have a theory about solitaire, Flosey. I have a deck of cards in my purse so that if I ever get lost I can start playing solitaire... Cause I KNow that when I get stuck someone will come by to point out a move, and I can ask em for directions.

10:25 am

hurshy

i have sympathy for them, though i do think charles should abdicate in favor of william

10:26 am

Haz1558

No, Eva, potato stabbers relates to what flosey could do to inflict pain on her husband for getting the last word.

10:26 am

hurshy

no they decided she can't be called queen, didn't they?

10:26 am

montreal13

good one moon...

flosey

lol moon, that's for sure

She could be called Queen, says she won't be, but who knows?

10:27 am

flosey

will they accept a divorced woman as queen?

10:27 am

bbnaz

and if queen mum was any example, queen should be around for a long time........

10:27 am

hurshy

they were a generation caught in a transitional period, and it screwed them over

10:27 am

Haz1558

Eva - details on the new niece?

10:28 am

moonwoof

Why would he abdicate so soon? I mean look how long his mom is lasting... He's still got another 30 years to go...

10:28 am

Jacula

The botched launching of and subsequent Norovirus outbreak on the Queen Victoria liner does not bode well for Camilla.

10:28 am

10:58 am

moonwoof

Sorry I've just now gotten like 90 things that somehow all seem to need my attention right now and was distracted. I figured with the comedy talk Owl would have been one of those.

Haz1558

Scarlet

Lori, I also have an Oster stand mixer that is going strong after 22 years!

1:55 pm

LoriP

Scarlet, the air was blue around me this afternoon. This grid lowered my IQ, a hit I couldn't afford.

1:55 pm

Scarlet

LOL... not a chance dear... your I.Q. gets sharper with every triumph of this dagnabbity game...

1:55 pm

LoriP

Really Scarlet? Impressive. You couldn't take my KA from me for any amount of money. It saved my life.

1:56 pm

Scarlet

My KA and the Oster do triple duty about four times a year, and I would be lost without them...

1:57 pm

LoriP

My past record was 3 hand hel mixers in 1 year.

1:57 pm

Scarlet

The only thing I have not caved into doing with the KA is using the kneading hooks... I still do it the old-fashioned way: two hands and a lot of oomph!

1:57 pm

LoriP

* held

1:57 pm

Scarlet

Wow... now THAT is impressive! LOL

1:58 pm

Oh Scarlet. It kneads bread, and assorted dough so beautifully.

The year I was pregnant with #4, 3 hand held mixers. Blew my mind. Honestly, try it, you will be pleasantly surprised.

1:59 pm

Scarlet

The balloon whip is a gem of a creature, though!

2:00 pm

Scarlet
