3:59 am

P.J.

your right cat!

4:00 am

sprite

I really want to stress that each word you find is great. I didn't find half of the words on my first grid. This is about fun and not about finding all words or such. Don't feel bad if it is hard for you, because that is normal. It can be a hard game.

4:01 am

catep

i have 158 words

4:01 am

sprite

that is terrific, catep

4:01 am

Hipnishi

4:04 am

Angelsong

hi, all. monster grid today. I am feeling much less blue today. got some good rest last night, and spoke with my daughter before I went to bed. She is handling things pretty well so far, all things considered.

4:05 am

P.J.

hi Angel-what happend?

4:09 am

Angelsong

my daughter called saturday, asking if we could babysit until Sunday. She is ill with flu and needed some rest...so we said yes to babysitting both of the children, 1 year and 3 years old. Then, she said her husband was using methamphetamine again, and she had to ask him to leave until he gets clean. She doesn't want him around herself or the children when he is using. He came home y'day, and she had to call the police. He did leave, and she picked up the kids yesterday afternoon. Dylan, age 3, thinks his dad hates him.

4:10 am

herinfernallady

OH ANgel im so sad for you. Dylan needs to know that he is loved and that daddy does love him but he has a grown up problem that needs to be fixed. HUGS so many hugs my dear

4:12 am

P.J.

I am so sorry Angel,your daughter did the right thing by making him leave! I feel bad for the little ones they don't understand what is going onLOL.

4:13 am

Hipnishi

Not sure of your religious standing- but my prayers go out to your family. Best of luck on his recovery and comforting the children who dont know any better.

4:13 am

Angelsong

She said her husband talked to Dylan last night and told him he does not hate him, and that he loves Dylan very much...then he proceeded to grill Dylan about who was in the house.

herinfernallady

4:18 am

Angelsong

4:18 am

P.J.

4:22 am

herinfernallady

Does anyone have a clue for the DR please

4:22 am

herinfernallady

Angel he can't go into rehab can he?

4:22 am

Angelsong

my daughter is amazing. I'm not saying she is perfect, but she has come a very long way. she has history of drug use as well, and was incarcerated when Dylan was born....but she is clean now, is employed, and is doing a great job of parenting.

4:23 am

Angelsong

he could, but I don't know if he would consent, unless he is arrested.

4:23 am

herinfernallady

That is great Angel. Good on her. She doesn't need his sht holding her back

Haz1558

Kind of both, Lori. I'm not as good at avoiding the housework..... It's a great grid, Uniquity will storm through it.

redturtlehead

5:34 am

dcseain

5:35 am

redturtlehead

5:35 am

pinkhatlil

it disrupts my sleep pattern, i find myself waking up around 7am ish GMT

5:35 am

dcseain

6:05 am

pinkhatlil

6:06 am

dcseain

and hit's hard to get out of my mustache; my body temp is not high enough for the chest application to work

6:06 am

pinkhatlil

7:31 am

nDanLia

it's washington & lincoln combined ata

7:31 am

lori ann

atalante...I for one do not. However we have had awesome past presidents.

7:31 am

Jandy

You are a gem and I have very few to go. Enjoy your tea and warm your tootsies!!!

7:31 am

dcseain

ata, originally we got Lincoln's bday on the 12th and Washington's on the 22nd; in the 80s they combined them to the 3rd monday in Feb as Presidents' Day

7:31 am

montreal13

ty dan for all those clues

7:31 am

Atalante

*giggles* of which he will soon be one. eeep! then he *will* be "celebrated"

7:32 am

Atalante

oh ok. Lincoln and Washington are worth celebrating! I just had a wonderful vision of hordes celebrating the wonder that is Busg

7:32 am

Atalante

*Bush

7:32 am

dcseain

many of us here can hardly wait until 20 January 2009.

7:32 am

Scrabbler

356 to go, but I see so many words I wish I could type faster.

7:34 am

evanonut

we will celebrate bush as much as say, johnson and nixon?

7:35 am

dcseain

time shall tell, nutty

7:35 am

montreal13

Johnson wasn't thta bad - he got the civil rights done...

7:35 am

Scrabbler

Some chapters of American history books need to be shorter than others.

7:35 am

montreal13

lol scrabs, so true...

7:35 am

evanonut

i give you that one, point to monty

7:35 am

dcseain

very true, that, Luc

7:36 am

evanonut

same can be said for all countries scrabs

7:36 am

evanonut

its just that our world social history is shorter to begin with

7:36 am

dcseain

a third to a half of the history books i grew up with addressed the Civil War, or 'The War of Northern Aggression', as it was called when i was younger.

7:36 am

Haz1558

Good morning/afternoon all.

7:37 am

evanonut

nice! war of northern aggression, did you live in the south dc?

7:37 am

montreal13

hey ((Hazel)) !

7:37 am

Scrabbler

Hi Hazel

7:37 am

dcseain

hello, haz

7:37 am

Atalante

hi haz and the spanglette!

7:37 am

carleekat

oh..i recognize that face...good morning spangle

7:37 am

lori ann

Hi..Haz

7:37 am

Haz1558

Hello there - nice big grid today!

7:37 am

dcseain

i grew up in Northern VA, just outside of DC, in what, back then, was a Union-sympathizing area. :)

7:37 am

montreal13

my question exactly nutty !

7:38 am

sadie52

hello haz

7:38 am

Haz1558

Yes, Spangle is in fine form, thanks.

7:38 am

evanonut

isn't that something

7:38 am

montreal13

ahhh that explains it DC...

7:38 am

dcseain

'it', luc?

7:38 am

montreal13

"Norther agression" war DC

7:39 am

montreal13

Northern* even

7:39 am

dcseain

ah, up North, they called it 'The War of Southern Rebellion"

7:39 am

evanonut

specially considering those silly southerners where the ones trying to leave....

7:39 am

dcseain

so, tit for tat, happily, by the late 70s, 'civil war' was the term settled on.

7:40 am

montreal13

'xactly DC... that is the way we canadian were taught...

7:40 am

dcseain

indeed, nutty

7:40 am

Atalante

and over here we say "they had a war? silly americans"

7:40 am

evanonut

we ARE silly

7:40 am

Scrabbler

LOL, Ata!

7:41 am

Uniquity

Unless of course you are a young Canadian such as myself, wherein you simply werent taught about it!

7:41 am

montreal13

lol Uni... and hi !

7:41 am

evanonut

history is all just a spin factor anyway

7:41 am

Atalante

it never hit our history lessons either

7:41 am

dcseain

where i grew up, we were taught in the books to be bitter about the 'illegal seizure' of the western third of the state on 1 march 1863. The teachers pointed out that the constitution was suspended, and VA was in rebellion, so what was there to complain about. LOL

7:41 am

Scrabbler

Hi Uni

7:41 am

carleekat

true enough uni...we learned about catier..champlain and lewis an dclark...but... the civil war etc...

7:42 am

nDanLia

yet we got the 100 yrs war & war of the roses

7:42 am

Haz1558

You mean the Civil War, Atalante? We certainly got the War of Independence taught to us.

7:42 am

carleekat

cartier*

7:42 am

Uniquity

I only ever learned about the world wars, really. Hey everyone! I am off shortly, but I came up for air as I have made it over half

7:42 am

sadie52

hiya Uniquity

7:42 am

Atalante

neither. no american history at all. at least i don't remember any!

7:42 am

evanonut

i took american history and skipped european, looking back, i should have taken european instead, far more interesting

7:42 am

carleekat

its a marathon..but at least is not a twisty marathone

7:42 am

Scrabbler

I took Canadian History as an elective in my last yr of HS. Great teacher too.

7:43 am

Haz1558

Hello Uniquity!

7:43 am

dcseain

it was odd when i lived in Boston. When they say 'The War' they mean the War for Independence. Down here, it's The Civil War.

7:43 am

Atalante

we had years of russian tyrannical despots instead

7:43 am

dcseain

in HS, we skipped Rome and Greece so we could cover up through Vietnam.

7:43 am

Uniquity

I took can. history as opposed to geography, then global history in high school.

7:43 am

Haz1558

So had the Russians.

7:43 am

Scrabbler

Interesting, Seain--2 different perspectives.

7:44 am

montreal13

our history lessons covered everything ... but stopped mysteriously at the 2nd world war...

7:44 am

dcseain

it's normal for history classes to run about a generation behind.

7:44 am

Haz1558

I began to feel old when my daughters were studying events in history that I remember happening.

7:45 am

dcseain

yes, scrabbler, especially interesting as Mass and Maine both lost half there men in the civil war.

7:45 am

montreal13

true DC - and lol hazel

7:45 am

carleekat

i'm starting to go blind from this grid...

7:45 am

evanonut

so, when i see 9/11 in a history book i'll feel old?

7:45 am

Atalante

I'm trying to remember what topics we had in history classes now. WW1. The Tudors (over and over again). Wolsey. He popped up every year. Russian despots. The Middle Ages. Byzantine Empire. hmm.

7:45 am

Haz1558

I don't think you'll ever feel old, evanonut.

7:45 am

evanonut

i find the byzantine interesting

7:45 am

Scrabbler

Yes, Nut, we will say, "I remember, it was a Tuesday morning, and I was_____..........."

7:46 am

evanonut

i remember that empire like it was yesterday

7:46 am

dcseain

i enjoyed my semester on ancient india, and my semester on the ancient songhai.

7:46 am

evanonut

...and i was working at the bank

7:46 am

LadyNatts

oooh... you got to learn ancient India, dc??

7:47 am

Scrabbler

Nut, maybe you had a former life in the Byzantine age. I feel particularly drawn to the Medieval Age--castles, knights, etc.

7:47 am

Atalante

oh and feudal systems in England. every year, again

7:47 am

evanonut

i bet i did

7:47 am

dcseain

yes, Lady, we had a year we got to choos between india, songhai, aztecs, and maya. studying spanish, i'd had my fill of the latter, so i chose the former.

7:47 am

montreal13

yes scrabs and dragons, fair ladies...etc

7:48 am

Haz1558

Surely your origins were piratical, evanonut?

7:48 am

LadyNatts

that's great

7:48 am

lori ann

I

7:48 am

evanonut

wouldn't they be like the original pirates, you know, before pirates took to the sea

7:48 am

Scrabbler

I have a toy castle (kids' toy) with horses, knights, a dragon, displayed on a shelf down here.

7:49 am

Haz1558

Landlubber pirates?

7:49 am

angelinaxox

hi all

7:49 am

dcseain

indeed haz, they sail the river valleys here in the East.

7:49 am

featherbee

morning!

7:49 am

montreal13

hi angelina - lol hazel

7:49 am

Scrabbler

Hi Angelina

7:49 am

dcseain

morning, angelina

7:49 am

featherbee

scrabs, nick has his 6 month appt today. :)

7:49 am

Scrabbler

I saw a baby named Angelina on Saturday when I worked.

7:49 am

montreal13

hi feather

7:49 am

Scrabbler

Hi Featherbee--shots! Poor Nicky.

7:50 am

featherbee

oh right! :( forgot about that little part of it.

7:50 am

angelinaxox

hi mont, dc and scrabs

7:50 am

dcseain

oh ,the PAs are the PIAs today, i see

7:50 am

Atalante

do landpirates use land yachts?

7:51 am

dcseain

land yachts are rather fun to drive

7:51 am

Scrabbler

Big decision, Featherbee: now that he is 6 mo old, do yuo want him to get his first flu shot. (Second would be due in 30 days.) Seain would vote YES!

7:51 am

Vicuna

Landpirates bury their treasure in ponds.

7:51 am

lori ann

well...fellow babblers, it's off to work for me. Good luck and have fun.

7:51 am

Vicuna

Welcome home, Ata, and hello, all.

7:51 am

angelinaxox

bye lori, hagd

7:51 am

angelinaxox

hi vicuna

7:51 am

Scrabbler

Bye Lori Ann, our newest member and addict!

7:51 am

montreal13

for land yachts, u just need more wind is all...

7:51 am

Haz1558

Hello Vicuna!

7:51 am

dcseain

ciao, lori, have a great day!

7:51 am

Scrabbler

hi vicuna

7:51 am

Atalante

hi vi!

7:52 am

montreal13

later lori ann

7:52 am

dcseain

though scrabbs, i did get one of the strains not in the shot this year.

7:52 am

dcseain

though i do think the shot is a good idea

7:52 am

montreal13

hi Vi !

7:52 am

Haz1558

But would landpirates be able to board other land yachts?

7:52 am

dcseain

morning, vicuna!

7:52 am

Scrabbler

true, Seain--experts guessed wrong, or, more true is that the viruses mutated and tricked all of us. Damn little pathogens!

7:52 am

montreal13

depends on the wind factor hazel...

7:52 am

featherbee

aaaaaaaugh, daniel's hammering.

7:52 am

dcseain

knowing what i've seen on teh highways here, i'd say so, haz

7:53 am

Haz1558

You'd have to get your timing right. A bit like the opposite of getting off a moving bus.

7:53 am

featherbee

seeing exactly HOW much noise he can make before mommy and nick go crazy

7:53 am

Vicuna

They'd shout, "Avast, ye sea-swizzlers!"

7:53 am

Scrabbler

Ignore him, Featherbee.

7:53 am

Vicuna

"Swab the mudflaps, me hearties!"

7:54 am

featherbee

i was, till he started opening and slamming the freezer door shut! we stopped that, back to cacophony

7:54 am

Scrabbler

He certainly has been pushing his limits recently, Feather.

7:54 am

Vicuna

Apprentice the lad to a carpenter and be done with him!

7:55 am

evanonut

back, got distracted...heya herbee

7:55 am

Atalante

children have limits?

7:55 am

dcseain

if we could enroll my elder nephew in a school that taught auto mechanics or such, we'd do it in a minute. It'd engage him, and get him to see the value of reading and math.

7:56 am

Scrabbler

We pretend that they do, Ata.

7:56 am

featherbee

no kidding! actually, this was more in the line of "i'm making music mommy!" than "let's see if i can p*** mommy off" he stopped on his own, wanted some frozen peaches.

7:56 am

Atalante

could he volunteer at such a place for a few hours each week, dc?

7:56 am

dcseain

at almost 9? Likely not

7:57 am

dcseain

the family friends that had such business don't any longer.

7:57 am

Atalante

ahhhhh LOL

7:57 am

phandmd

oh my what a large grid we have

7:57 am

Vicuna

It's a shame that (especially in the US) apprenticeships are not really an option any more for those so inclined.

7:57 am

Haz1558

Stick a false be5 on him and put him in platform shoes.

7:57 am

angelinaxox

hi phand

7:57 am

evanonut

no vic, that's what technical school is for

7:57 am

Atalante

they are coming back in fashion over here

7:58 am

Scrabbler

TY for that be5-6 clue!!

7:58 am

montreal13

hi there phan

7:58 am

phandmd

good morning Angel

7:58 am

Haz1558

Which, platform shoes, false be6 or apprenticeships?

7:58 am

phandmd

hello, hello

7:58 am

Atalante

all of them!

7:58 am

Scrabbler

Hi phandmd

7:58 am

Vicuna

Nothing says "hip" like a false beard.

7:59 am

Haz1558

So, a false-be5ed platform shoed apprentice is the way forward?

7:59 am

Vicuna

Aaargh, I'm an idiot!

7:59 am

Atalante

most definitely

7:59 am

Vicuna

And I'm not even doing the stupid grid today!

7:59 am

nDanLia

don't forget the be6 on top ... rofl

7:59 am

Haz1558

Poor Vicuna - to the PB!

7:59 am

Scrabbler

Off to the penalty box, Vicuna. Enjoy the treats!

8:00 am

Vicuna

Come to think of it, if I'm not doing the grid I could be writing a million grid words an every comment and not even know it.

8:00 am

montreal13

"hands over tea and croissants to Vi in the PB"

8:00 am

dcseain

there are still some chocolate cordials in there -all flavoured as mixed drinks, have a mojito!

8:00 am

Atalante

mmmm tea

8:00 am

Scrabbler

Yes, that happens.

8:00 am

Haz1558

Yes, you could be st5ing words all over the place and you wouldn't know. The chag log would be be8.

8:01 am

Atalante

oh hurray. I have milk now. Of course, having been away for a week, our milk here was more like cheese. Do husbands ever buy milk?

8:01 am

Vicuna

Oh, stop teasing, Haz! It's cruel!

8:01 am

carleekat

oooh..i just came back int time for that vic..thanks..didn't have that one

8:01 am

Haz1558

Only if they have been instructed so to do, Atalante. You weren't expecting him to take initiative?

8:01 am

Scrabbler

Where were you, Ata?

8:01 am

montreal13

YES WE DO Ata !!!

8:02 am

Haz1558

Am I drawing you into the grid, Vicuna. It's SO lovely.

8:02 am

Vicuna

It's montreal the Wonder-Husband!

8:02 am

Atalante

will you marry me then please, Luc? I like being able to drink tea after a long journey home!

8:02 am

Atalante

looking after sister, scrabs

8:02 am

montreal13

AND NO instructions needed !! - believe it or not !!

8:02 am

Haz1558

Too late, Atalante, he's already taken, I think.

8:03 am

montreal13

would love to Ata...but i'm already spoken for...

8:03 am

Vicuna

And so are you, for that matter, Ata.

8:03 am

Scrabbler

I must get ready for tennis now. Then I work 1-8. With winter vacation for the kids and President's Day and some parents not working, it is unpredictable how the office will be--could be quiet, could be crazy. Sometimes parents wants to come in when it is most convenient for them.

8:03 am

Haz1558

Although, he may fall into the category of the sort of man Heather Mills McCartney is looking to marry next.

8:03 am

Atalante

if there's one that understands the "needing to buy milk" concept, there must be another out there!

8:03 am

Scrabbler

Yes, your ill sister--did you get my e-mail, Ata?

8:03 am

montreal13

have a great day scrabs - enjoy !

8:03 am

Haz1558

Do you not have doorstep deliveries of milk, Atalante?

8:04 am

Atalante

yes, TY! we've emailed her main dr about it, waiting for a reply :)

8:04 am

carleekat

ok..i only have a-e and the dreaded re's to go

8:04 am

Atalante

I wish, Haz *sigh*

8:04 am

Scrabbler

GO GO, carlee!!!

8:04 am

Haz1558

*smug* we have our own milkman.

8:04 am

Scrabbler

Bye all!

8:04 am

LadyNatts

oh! thank you for reminding me scrab and ata... I have to google "spleen kit" for my brother

8:05 am

carleekat

milkmen went the way of .. of.. of... they don't exist here anymore

8:05 am

Haz1558

Bye Scrabbler - have a good day.

8:05 am

Atalante

LUCKY lucky lucky lucky you

8:05 am

dcseain

ciao, scrabbs

8:05 am

montreal13

milkmen have disappeared from view decades ago around these par**...

8:05 am

Atalante

some of the villages have round here, but we don't

8:05 am

Haz1558

I know.

8:05 am

dcseain

last place i know that still has milkmen, or did, was Cleveland, OH, thanks to Dairymens, a co-op of convenience stores. don't know if they still deliver or not

8:06 am

Haz1558

Some old-fashioned things are worth preserving. Platform shoes, for example.

8:06 am

montreal13

i remeber milkmen with horse-pulled wagons...

8:06 am

dcseain

i was fiscinated by the dairy deliviries when visiting my grandparents. :)

8:06 am

evanonut

new castle, pa has milkemen

8:06 am

Vicuna

They have milk delivery around here (Boston suburbs) for those as wish to pay for it.

8:07 am

Haz1558

There used to be horse-drawn milk delivery when I was a student in Edinburgh, not sure if it's still the case. Milk delivery still going strong here.

8:07 am

dcseain

north shore, vi?

8:07 am

Vicuna

No, western suburbs, Needham.

8:07 am

dcseain

ah, okay, that makes sense.

8:08 am

LadyNatts

well I made it better than halfway. as today's a holiday, I think I'll go back to bed.

8:08 am

Vicuna

Most of the supermarkets also offer delivery of all groceries, including dairy products.

8:08 am

dcseain

finally vanquised the Ps!

8:08 am

dcseain

true, the grocery stores do.

8:08 am

montreal13

sleep tight Lady N

8:08 am

dcseain

though not with the clockwork precision of the milkman.

8:08 am

Atalante

we have supermarket deliveries here. I looove online grocery shopping

8:09 am

LadyNatts

have a great day, everyone!

8:09 am

carleekat

ok..HOw can this be...a-d to go ( and re's of course..) and OVER 100 words to go?!?!?!?!?!

8:09 am

carleekat

let me guess... there 105 re's

8:09 am

angelinaxox

bye lady, tc

8:09 am

Atalante

how can parsnip still be a phantom? I've stared at it for hours and still see it

8:10 am

dcseain

no the REs aren't bad today, it's the PAs

8:10 am

dcseain

hasta, lady!

8:10 am

Vicuna

Parsnip was the first first word I saw... except of course I didn't.

8:10 am

Atalante

8:10 am

carleekat

8:12 am

Krista

hi peeps...big ol' grid today

8:12 am

angelinaxox

hi krista

8:12 am

montreal13

hey krista !

8:12 am

Haz1558

Exactly, Vicuna. You couldn't be expected to do craft things with them or entertain them or anything.

8:13 am

Krista

How is it? Seems easy so far, with my 13 words. :)

8:13 am

Haz1558

They need to learn independent play techniques, don't they?

8:13 am

Vicuna

*wonders what on earth Haz is talking about* "Entertain them?????"

8:13 am

Haz1558

Hello Krista - it's a lovely grid.

8:13 am

Krista

Cartoon Network!!

8:17 am

Atalante

8:18 am

dcseain

apparently the cough lingers for weeks.

dcseain

8:20 am

Krista

I've heard the same from sickies around here.

8:20 am

montreal13

definitely DC !

8:21 am

Krista

Is that the one about the aftermath of nuclear war, Montreal?

8:21 am

dcseain

who wrote it, luc?

8:21 am

Krista

something about a father and son...

8:21 am

montreal13

"The road" is a "love story" between a father/son set in a post-apocalyptic country (unnamed - but we suspect USA)

8:22 am

montreal13

Cormac McCarthy, same as No country for old men...

8:22 am

montreal13

yes krista...

8:22 am

dcseain

Jayde287

8:35 am

Haz1558

And there's no serenade either, Vicuna.

8:35 am

Atalante

8:35 am

Krista

Hi Nan!

8:35 am

dcseain

dart got 300 on his first pass

8:35 am

Vicuna

*sings mournfully* Is there no serenade for meeeeee?

8:35 am

Haz1558

If they do, Jayde, they keep quiet about it for fear of vengeance squads.

8:36 am

Krista

Glad to hear it.

8:36 am

Jayde287

Haha!

8:36 am

Haz1558

Oh no. Have you started to sing again, Vicuna?

8:36 am

Vicuna

Apparently so, Haz.

8:36 am

nancethefan

did u say hi 2 me krista or another nan?

8:36 am

Haz1558

Well, try to keep it down to a dull roar.

8:37 am

Vicuna

Mournful is always a dull roar, silly Haz.

8:37 am

FMitch

Whats wrong with Vi's singing?

8:37 am

Vicuna

Now when I start singing triumphantly, that will not be dull.

8:37 am

Krista

I was saying that to Cybernan..thought you were here when I came on..but hi anyway Nancethefan!

8:37 am

Haz1558

No, mournful involves dogs howling. That's never dull.

8:38 am

Vicuna

Absolutely nothing, FM. But Haz has this terrible tin ear and can't handle beautiful music.

8:38 am

nancethefan

that's ok - hey back krista

8:38 am

Atalante

nor quiet

8:38 am

Krista

off to wake the kids..they are sleeping late...I must be crazy to give up this solitude....

8:38 am

Haz1558

(FMitch, I'll not talk about Vi's singing, for fear of offending her. Best not to antagonise her)

8:38 am

FMitch

Sorry, what? hang in a sec let me take my earplugs out)

8:38 am

nancethefan

lol - bye krista or r u coming back?

8:38 am

8:39 am

nancethefan

8:39 am

Krista

I'll be off for a while..breakfast, etc...always off and on throughout the day when I'm home. See you later, I

8:39 am

Haz1558

Sing it loud - see that's the part we're trying to wean Vicuna away from.

8:39 am

FMitch

"make it simple to last the whole night looooooong"

8:39 am

Krista

I'm sure (hit enter too soon)

8:40 am

nancethefan

ok - b sweet & have a good 1

8:40 am

Haz1558

'Don't worry if it's not good enough for anyone else to hear' - again, Vicuna needs to take this with a pinch of salt.

8:40 am

FMitch

Bye Krista

8:40 am

Vicuna

UR SO MEAN HAZ, U HATE ME!

8:40 am

Krista

8:40 am

Didn't you know that I was mean?

8:41 am

Vicuna

U PEplE R *&$##. I HATE U!

8:42 am

nancethefan

ut o - this sounds like it's getting violent

8:42 am

dcseain

dear me, vicuna, do get a grip!

8:42 am

nancethefan

lol

8:42 am

Vicuna

(I'm so bad at this. It's harder than it looks to be a troll.)

8:42 am

Atalante

H8 u mean!

8:42 am

phandmd

Hey Krista, I have caught the bug that my kids have had

8:42 am

FMitch

Sings off at a tangent ... "You're so Vain..."

8:42 am

Haz1558

'I bet you think this song is about you'

8:43 am

Vicuna

Atalante is a much better troll than I. Is that a complement?

8:43 am

FMitch

Takes years of training Vi to be a troll impersonator.

8:43 am

Haz1558

'Don't you? Don't you? Don't you'

8:43 am

nancethefan

lol - i was going to type the same thing

8:43 am

Haz1558

Dear me, has the record stuck?

8:43 am

Atalante

*smug*

8:43 am

FMitch

smug backwards is gums

8:44 am

Vicuna

Well, how can I ever train and learn when every time I try to be obnoxious you people squelch my dreams?

8:44 am

Haz1558

So it is. So if you back out of a dentist without needing treatment could you be said to be smug gums?

8:44 am

FMitch

Vi sometimes its best to leave it to the experts, I can do you a class in stomping if you like?

8:44 am

FMitch

LOL Haz

8:45 am

Haz1558

Is it rhythmic stomping in Greek tunics?

8:45 am

Atalante

toga tango

8:45 am

Vicuna

Or wait... perhaps... being an inexpert troll will annoy you smuggies even WORSE! Muuhaha haha!

8:45 am

FMitch

*wishes that particular snippet would waft off into the mists of time*

8:46 am

dcseain

so when they tell you the points of the word on the licketysplit page, is that before or after the multiplier for the number of letters in the word?

Morning, Seain, Pink, Owl, Movieman, Carlee, Hurshy (sick?? sorry!) Fmitch, Sadie, Flosey, all.

9:35 am

april if the number says 6/24, that means the total count of the word is tripled, so divide by 3 and you know what to look for - a word totalling 8

10:11 am

Haz1558

Hello again, Vicuna

10:11 am

Vicuna

Hello, jbp incognito!

10:11 am

bwthemoose

with 147 words, I'm not starting over as me. ;-)

10:11 am

Atalante

does your husband like mooses?

10:12 am

bwthemoose

so it's a big one today

10:12 am

bwthemoose

he just likes bullwinkle and rocky

10:12 am

Haz1558

I'm curious about the name as well.

10:12 am

dcseain

bw, we have a Natasha who plays, too

10:12 am

Haz1558

But if you enter the words as him, he gets the points and the glory while you've done the hard work!

10:13 am

bwthemoose

ah yes.

10:13 am

OrangeCat

hello everyone

10:13 am

Vicuna

My children have turned their talents to counterfeiting, so I have some time to look for words for a bit. =)

10:13 am

bwthemoose

my fave from the series was dudley doo right

10:13 am

Atalante

counterfeiting? good for them

10:13 am

Haz1558

Excellent, Vicuna. Do the bank notes look real?

10:13 am

dcseain

hi, orange

10:13 am

bwthemoose

yeah, i don't know how much glory I'll be giving him in this grid...

10:13 am

bwthemoose

wow, it's great that your kids are learining a trade. ;-)

10:14 am

72 Temple Owl

hi haz!

10:14 am

Vicuna

Well, I suppose more accurately it's design. They are not attempting to copy the old notes. They prefer to come up with new and imporved money.

10:14 am

Vicuna

*improved

10:14 am

Haz1558

You've given him 147 word's worth of glory already.

10:14 am

Haz1558

Hello TO!

10:14 am

dcseain

i'm sure they notes will look great if they're counterfeiting US currency

10:14 am

bwthemoose

it's improved if it's in my account!!

10:14 am

Atalante

encourage the counterfeiting. good source of income

10:14 am

bwthemoose

yeah, we're not that competitive.

10:14 am

hurshy

pi7?

10:15 am

Vicuna

But they are happily declaring, "We're making money!" so it sounded promising.

10:15 am

Haz1558

Yes, start with the banknotes, work your way up to passports.

10:15 am

dcseain

i used to get pi7 on my shirt by sitting in a pi4grove

10:15 am

periwinkle

hurshy the pi7 I have is a compound word

10:16 am

Vicuna

Thanks, seain.

10:17 am

Haz1558

You're welcome!

10:17 am

Vicuna

Oh, I'm so honored - apparently some of the new bills feature me instead of any president or queen!

10:17 am

Haz1558

Well, you're one up on Atalante then. So far as I know, she isn't featured on our currency.

10:17 am

harpjane

10:18 am

Vicuna

*smug!*

10:18 am

bwthemoose

10:18 am

Haz1558

10:18 am

Atalante

10:18 am

Haz1558

ep5 - ep plus what a thespian does on stage.

10:18 am

harpjane

10:19 am

Vicuna

Yes, I'm on a throne (although it does suspiciously resemble an ordinary desk chair.)

10:19 am

bwthemoose

any help with the bottom row i??

10:19 am

Haz1558

You could always declare your oa4 house a republic, Atalante and strike your own coinage.

10:19 am

Haz1558

That bottom row i is useful for putting things in.

10:19 am

Atalante

this is true. with Hobbit on

10:20 am

Haz1558

I think so. Passport to Canterbury, I can see it now.

10:20 am

Haz1558

That bottom row i is also remarkably incapable, in5

10:20 am

periwinkle

down to 150 left, need to take a break, bbs

10:21 am

Vicuna

I feel less smug now. Apparently I'm only on the ten cent piece.

10:21 am

torgone

Yikes ..

10:22 am

bwthemoose

i guess it depends on how high the currency units go, Vic... I mean, if it's like Italian money, then you're in trouble...

10:22 am

Babs1

thks haz, great clue!

10:22 am

billmster

lovelly but cold day in Edinburgh.3 but not 396 words are a bit to many for me but not for my Eileen!

10:22 am

Vicuna

10:22 am

Haz1558

But the Italians have done away with the lira and are boringly euro now.

10:23 am

bwthemoose

ok, then the mexican peso

10:23 am

Haz1558

Are there millions and millions of them to the dollar?

10:24 am

ChaoticBliss

Ah. Very nice for snow.

11:13 am

Haz1558

Ta!

11:13 am

Scarlet

Hi, Fiber... I can't look at your icon yet... my Dell gets very cranky when I interrupt the game (especially when so large), so I will see it later.

11:13 am

ChaoticBliss

I'm originally from Pittsburgh, PA, living in northern Virginia now, though.

11:13 am

montreal13

hi dear scarlet - finished my antibiotics last nite - turned out it was a sinus infection with bronchitis on the rebound... but feeling much better now thank you - how about yourself ?

11:13 am

Fiber Art

I know, Scarlet, mine warned me several times, the game was so slow.

11:14 am

Scarlet

Then maybe it isn't just my machine, Fiber... glad yu understand.

11:14 am

rururocks

11:14 am

montreal13

11:14 am

Fiber Art

11:14 am

Scarlet

Good news, then, Lucien... we have been holding our own through some very strange weather, but I hope we continue with our flu-free season... thank you for asking. I hope you perk up soon, dear friend.

11:15 am

flosey

hello there luc, didn't know you were sick, glad your feeling better

11:15 am

Haz1558

ca6/21 - run together what you put your clothes in for holiday with a seabird

11:15 am

11:15 am

montreal13

c's are almost done..yeah!!!!!!

11:16 am

Krista

Thanks, Ata. She was a cutie, and very sweet.

11:17 am

autumn moon

hey luc. did you get the french swear (me5)

11:17 am

Atalante

awwww I bet. she was a beautiful colour

11:17 am

montreal13

bien sur autumn tx, the plural as well (plural never used in french...)

11:18 am

montreal13

for that word that is...

11:18 am

autumn moon

yeah, I know....but it's another word on the grid. Hows the weather over there?

11:19 am

Krista

Her coloring was very interesting, as if there were a line dividing her down the middle..black on one side, cream on the other (paws, belly, even her lips). Then again,that could be common (never had a piggy before).

11:19 am

montreal13

unbelievalble weather here --- + 6 degrees C and cloudy (it rained thru the night !!!) - temp will fall steadily the rest of the week though... and in your neighbourhood ?

11:20 am

Atalante

mine was like that too! black and orange, though, not cream

11:20 am

autumn moon

foggy right now, the sun hasn't burned it off yet. will get up to 9 over the next few days. I guess your snow is all gone?

11:21 am

autumn moon

The problem with big grids.... I never know if I am putting words into chat....

11:21 am

montreal13

no no autumn - there is so much that it won't go away for at least another month...

11:21 am

Aloyisius

Howdy Fellow Babblers!

11:21 am

Krista

I like the black and orange ones...they are all cute, though. Some cuter than others...don't like the white ones with red eyes. :)

11:21 am

angelinaxox

hi aloy

11:21 am

Haz1558

Hello Aloy!

11:22 am

flosey

good morning aloy

11:22 am

FMitch

Hello Aloy!

11:22 am

montreal13

Ahoy Aloy !

11:22 am

Scarlet

Aloy... I am in a blissful state with such a lovely grid! And, Hi to Florida!

11:22 am

Krista

Maybe that coloring this IS common, if yours was like that, too.

11:22 am

Krista

I meant "thing"

11:22 am

Aloyisius

yes, we have been getting nice fat grids lately! (-: Keeps me out of trouble..

11:23 am

autumn moon

**sending my wishful thinking to Luc** I remember those eastern winters. Spent 5 years in Ott. Drove down to Mont a lot.

11:23 am

FMitch

lol

11:23 am

Haz1558

There'd be nothing common about anything of Ata's.

11:23 am

Scarlet

LOL... You and moi both, Aloy!

11:23 am

Atalante

no idea - she was the only guinea pig I ever had, too

11:23 am

Haz1558

You can't be smug about being common.

11:24 am

Aloyisius

One could break a nail doing housework, or get a detergent rash and dry up your skin washing dishes

11:24 am

Atalante

I dunno. JOrdan is

11:24 am

Krista

True, Haz. Probably a huge cooincidence. :)

11:24 am

montreal13

ahh yes - I see you're in BC now - i guess snow never really stays for any length of time over there ?

11:24 am

Scarlet

Or... run out of coffee... or forget to feed the resident feline... or, or, or...

11:24 am

FMitch

Aloy never wash up w/o rubber gloves!

11:25 am

Krista

my Expert hasn't worked for days...need to reboot, but my machine hates rebooting...takes ages to act right..

11:25 am

Haz1558

True about Jordan. She's not so smug now - her new veneers are giving her trouble. 'My agony' by Jordan.

11:25 am

autumn moon

no, luc. our snow leaves as quickly as it comes.

11:25 am

Atalante

oh yes. so much Jordan angst

11:26 am

Aloyisius

you are right, Aloy... hubby even read an article to that effect, and I have a friend who ALWAYS wears rubber gloves, but.. I can't "feel" the squeaky clean of the pots and pans and stuff.. I know, sicko that I am.. (with broken nails and dry skin, lol)

11:26 am

Krista

Who is Jordan, if I may ask?

11:26 am

Atalante

she's horrendous, thats who she is

11:26 am

Aloyisius

I mean, you are right, FMitch.. lol, brain is fuzzy

11:26 am

Scarlet

Now you're talking to yourself, Aloy? LOL

11:26 am

montreal13

that's what i thought autumn - tx for your "wishful thinking" though...

11:26 am

Haz1558

Jordan is a talentless ex-model who has managed to con people into being interested in her.

11:26 am

autumn moon

okay - have to dive into this grid. I only have 19 words and I am sure there are another 377 wanting to be found :)

11:26 am

Krista

Aloy, I am the same. I have cracked knuckles, but cannot stand to wear gloves for dishes.

11:26 am

FMitch

*grin* thought you were going to argue with yourself there :)

11:26 am

Aloyisius

yup, do it constantly Scarlet...

11:27 am

Atalante

she has huge boobs and a stupid husband

11:27 am

Haz1558

A tacky version of pa5 Hilton

11:27 am

montreal13

good luck moon - 153 left here...

11:27 am

Scarlet

That may be a "sign" Aloy... but, harmless.

11:27 am

Krista

Never heard of her..sounds like a good thing.

11:27 am

Haz1558

The chest has been reduced, though. She's not happy with the new shape. Someday she's going to waken up and find her face on the other side of the pillow staring at her.

11:27 am

torgone

Boobs?

11:28 am

Krista

And thanks for the word I would not have thought would be allowed.

11:28 am

Haz1558

Then she really will know what agony is.

11:28 am

Krista

Down, Tor, down!

11:28 am

Haz1558

Hello torgone. Like Pavlov's dog....

11:29 am

Scarlet

I don't know how much tackier a woman can become, Haz, when Ms. Hilton is the standard...

11:29 am

montreal13

lol hazel...

11:29 am

Scarlet

Hi, tor... I love to say that... reminds me of a story...

11:29 am

Haz1558

Jordan is worse. She's orange.

11:29 am

Scarlet

Oy!

11:29 am

Atalante

lmao yes

11:29 am

torgone

I love stories ..

11:30 am

Atalante

and flaunts her handicapped kid around to get more news stories

11:30 am

Scarlet

Good grief, Ata... she sounds like an awful, imitation human being...

11:30 am

Krista

Must look her up on Google.

11:30 am

Arabella7

woo half way! (this is my first time)

11:30 am

Haz1558

She has three children. When we tell you that her daughter is called Princess Tiiiiaaammmiii, you'll get the picture.

11:30 am

Scarlet

Does she just go by Jordan?

11:30 am

Aloyisius

wtg, Arabella... and welcome to Babble!

11:31 am

Atalante

oh you missed an i there, Haz

11:31 am

Haz1558

Take a stiff drink first, Krista.

11:31 am

Scarlet

A newbie!! Welcome to the loony bin, Arabella!!

11:31 am

Haz1558

Jordan, but she wants to be taken seriously as Katie Price. Some chance!

11:31 am

montreal13

YOUPPI arabella ! - well done for a first time - bravo - keep at it !

11:31 am

Atalante

Jordan and her husband Peter Andre

11:31 am

Arabella7

Thanks.

11:32 am

Haz1558

She's the one that THE DRESS was inspired by.

11:32 am

caitlyn

Good afternoon all.......

Atalante

11:33 am

crpw48

11:33 am

torgone

Boy, odd words are st6/30 about in this grid ..

11:33 am

11:34 am

Haz1558

11:34 am

Vicuna

Nope, still no parsnip!

11:34 am

Atalante

Jordan's wedding was entirely baby pink, I seem t oremember

11:34 am

FMitch

Ive been trying to find a space for That Dress in the PB, perhaps I should use it more like a marquee?

11:34 am

Scarlet

LOL... NO, NO, NO Lucien... it is hideous by a warthog's vision...

11:34 am

caitlyn

((((((FMitch))))))) there there ,dont cry

11:34 am

Haz1558

It was, Atalante, you're right.

11:34 am

Krista

She has that "dime-a-dozen" look to me. I have never understood why people who look like every other bimbo become famous.

11:34 am

montreal13

re-lol scarlet...

11:34 am

Atalante

11:35 am

11:35 am

Vicuna

Haz, you really do want me to sing, don't you.

11:35 am

Haz1558

11:35 am

caitlyn

GLAMOUR !! Not my idea of glamour

11:35 am

montreal13

there are more than 1 BE8 ??????

11:36 am

Krista

Wonder if she'll become known "over here." Once again, I don't see how the world has any more room for one more copy of the same....

11:36 am

Vicuna

be8s are built from the word Torgone referenced, meaning scattered about.

11:36 am

Haz1558

be8 - two of them (different verb forms) for what something is distributed willy-nilly.

11:36 am

Haz1558

be8 - the sort of males who are interested in spangly things.

11:37 am

Krista

what is wrong with her kids?

11:37 am

caitlyn

Krista we will send her over...but promise you will keep her please

11:37 am

Krista

(other than she is their mother)

11:37 am

Vicuna

Hmm.... don't have that one yet.

11:37 am

Krista

Lol, no thanks.

11:37 am

Haz1558

Her first child has multiple handicaps - cue lots of magazine articles about her agony. The other two are fine.

11:37 am

Atalante

she has 1 kid who is partially blind and is *huge* from some odd disease. and then Princess Tiaiaiiiaiiiammmiaiiai

11:37 am

montreal13

11:37 am

FMitch

11:38 am

Haz1558

You're forgetting the middle child. Junior.

11:38 am

Krista

ROFL!!

11:38 am

Atalante

cue much angst cos she took drugs and drank through her pregnancy with the handicapped one

11:38 am

Haz1558

She's spelt it wrong and hasn't got the accent.

11:38 am

Scarlet

Googled. Yuck and yuck. Went to HIS website... now I am nauseous... both WAY over the top... Ata and Haz, you have once again done me in!

11:38 am

montreal13

most of you seem to know and AWFUL lot of details on the life of "just another bimbo"...lol

11:38 am

caitlyn

LOL!!

11:38 am

Atalante

bet Peter Andre can't spell it either

11:38 am

cheeky

let's see, i keep things scattered about, my life is willy nilly, and my last girlfriend wore lots of spangly things. and i still havent a clue on this.

11:39 am

Atalante

we have no choice, Luc. she's everywhere

11:39 am

montreal13

be + st 5 cheeky

11:39 am

Haz1558

AND she's written books.

11:39 am

Atalante

you think? or just signed her name to them?

11:40 am

Scarlet

She writes?

11:40 am

Haz1558

Who else could pen such breathless prose?

11:40 am

montreal13

i understand Ata - we have local "bimbo celebrities" that i simply cannot stand... but yes, they are everywhere !

11:40 am

Atalante

you think she knows the alphabet well enough?

11:40 am

caitlyn

But dont forget she has now had a nose job anda boob reduction because she wants to be taken seriously

11:40 am

Haz1558

Oh, yes, Scarlet, she has written her own life story - Volume 35 due out any day. AND her fictional offerings are also available.

11:40 am

Krista

Oh, man..hate to leave this...I needed the laugh..but have to run along...MEOW!

11:40 am

stidmama

Krista

hibye, Stiddy!

11:41 am

Atalante

oh yeah. reduced from G to F

11:41 am

Scarlet

Bimbo eruptions are common in the U.S.A., especially when you have a Commander in Chief who trolls for the questionable females to, er, entertain...

11:41 am

Haz1558

Not only that, caitlyn - new teeth veneers. Soon she will be completely rebuilt and she can auction herself off on e-bay.

11:41 am

Vicuna

Krista! Shame on you lobbing a grid word on your way out, so we can't even send you to the PB!

11:41 am

montreal13

bye krista - take care !

11:41 am

caitlyn

Bye Krista

11:42 am

Scarlet

Laughing so hard now...

11:42 am

montreal13

what ? i thought the buffoon was married !!??

11:42 am

Vicuna

Oh, it's stidmama, everyone. Better stopping dissing the bimbos celebrities! Judging from her entrance, she is one!

11:42 am

stidmama

rofl... so who exactly are you referring to (not me obviously) *looking at very un-modified middle-aged figure*

11:42 am

Scarlet

And your point is, Luc? LOL

11:43 am

Vicuna

(Man, from the way I type, you'll think I'm one, as well!)

11:43 am

montreal13

lolol - and hi stid !

11:43 am

Haz1558

She's married - her wedding was AN EVENT.

11:43 am

stidmama

okay, I promised myself a half hour to get this thing done today (haven't started yet)

11:43 am

Scarlet

Not THIS Commander... the previous, well-known one whose wife is in the middle of a power grab, Luc.

11:43 am

Atalante

So understated, wasn't it?

11:45 am

stidmama

Atalante

11:45 am

Aloyisius

11:45 am

Atalante

Her bridesmaids didn't have Donny Osmond caps though. She missed a trick there.

11:45 am

Vicuna

Atalante

copulation, fornication, etc :D

11:48 am

Atalante

11:48 am

Haz1558

Except Jordan wouldn't know restraint if it jumped up and knocked all her teeth veneers out.

11:48 am

11:49 am

montreal13

be 8 -- wampum males

12:03 pm

Atalante

the coolest thing about welsh is the way the sounds mutate when the word before it is a certain way. like when cymraeg (Wales) becomes gymraeg...

12:03 pm

Haz1558

be8/60 - males who like sparkly things?

12:03 pm

se7 is the extreme se4
ri 7 refers to people who use listerene
ra7 is a piratey word - means plunders
pi7 is tree stuff you don't want on your hands
pr7 [8] sounds like person who wins things, but ends in dried out [deserty word]
pa 7 can refer to computer programs [for any cs students, often a project] which puts strings together; brit bum word follows p
pa7 is multiple of fr city
pa 7 is basket [pack animal/bicycle] or also framework for old fashioned large skirts
