night mlf -- well done!

12:28 am

flosey

when we moved back to Ontario in 1966, we moved into my grandmother's house. It was brick with stone foundation, so pretty solid. But when we were renovating, there were so many layers of wallpaper on, it felt like cardboard coming off

12:28 am

P.J.

I will check.....ty

12:28 am

dcseain

more fun, flosey, was last we were there, showing my 8 yr old nephew an aerial shot of the farm, from the year his mother - my little sister - was born, and answering his 1001 question of why shot from 1974 didn't look like what he saw out the window in 2007. LOL

12:29 am

flosey

that must have been a thrill for your nephew though dc

12:29 am

dcseain

danke, marmar, nice to see you too :)

12:29 am

P.J.

yes jilli

12:29 am

jillibus

well, hodag, I dunno -- sorry!

12:29 am

dcseain

yes, it was, not as much a thrill as getting to see in the silo and pointing out that the top of it had fallen in after 30 years of disuse.

12:31 am

12:31 am

dcseain

12:33 am

jillibus

3.000 acres! Where?

12:33 am

flosey

we just had a chuckle about the tr5

12:34 am

dcseain

that's true for a lot of people i know, jilli. It's odd things, that way. One day on a bus in the city, a frustrated mother threatened her toddler son with not seeing his grandparents if he didn't sit down. I wondered what it was like to have that be a meaingful threat, my having grown up hundreds of milse from extended family

12:34 am

dcseain

Hopewell, Ohio, jilli

wow, dc! I met one grandmother just once when I was 8 -- saw my dying grandfather once then too -- the other ones died before I was born. All overseas people and travellers.

12:37 am

Marmar

Jilli, I just met one of my grandmothers too, she lived far away but came to visit a couple times....such a shame not to get to know them all.

12:37 am

jillibus

night autumn moon, and I agree about your name as you know

12:37 am

dcseain

i had the blessing to know all but 1 of my great-grandparents, all but 1 on my grandparents' siblings, and 4 of my great-grandparents, though i don't remember the latter, as they all died in my 1st 4 years.

12:37 am

justafreep

once you start looking for the U word, it's actually not so hard....

12:38 am

dcseain

my father's mother died before i was born, it was his stepmother i knew.

12:38 am

jillibus

really, freep? I've been looking like mad and can't imagine what it couls be!

12:38 am

dcseain

it's related to the other 8, jilli

12:39 am

Marmar

You are really blessed then DC! All I have is a very complete family tree that my family has pieced together over the years.

12:39 am

jillibus

2:29 am

hillary

too cryptic for me imprint!

2:30 am

imprint3454

I'm not good at clues. I don't want to try and give a clue that would end up giving it away

2:31 am

Marmar

I got it imprint, thanks.

2:31 am

hillary

can you try to clue marmar?

2:31 am

dcseain

i don't get imprint's either, marmar

that e word and gain are a long way from synonymous in my brain

2:33 am

dcseain

though i do see the connection

2:33 am

hillary

no i have that one, it's the re618 i'm missing, not the leaser

2:33 am

dcseain

ty, both

2:33 am

imprint3454

I thought about giving the clue Marmar gave (re+e4/4) but with me being new, I thought it would give away too much

2:34 am

Marmar

oh no...i clued the re6/18...I stink at clues. You are right imprint but I've seen it done a lot. I never know which way to go...

2:34 am

hillary

got it, thanks. now how about the in4, anyone?

2:35 am

lynxxx

We usually don't give the 3rd letter Imprint, but with re words it is quite usual/accepted to refer to the 'base word'

Haz1558

Good morning sprite.

3:42 am

sprite

hey Haz, good morning.

3:42 am

Haz1558

Hello there. Did you get your car sorted out?

3:43 am

sprite

the garage said the battery had died. So they replaced it and now it seems to work. So far. Am almost afraid to trust it, lol. They were very fair about it, no charge for the battery.

3:44 am

Haz1558

Well, hopefully that will have sorted out the problem.

3:45 am

sprite

I really hope so. It was the 7th time in 3 months we had car trouble. And I depend on the car, I can't walk for more than 2 or 3 minutes.

3:45 am

sprite

thanks for asking! How are you this morning?

3:45 am

Haz1558

As with so many technical things, you're a bit at the mercy of those who work with them. They could tell me anything and I'd just nod and be grateful.

3:46 am

Haz1558

I'm fine, thanks, although our sunshine has gone. It'll be back next year.

3:47 am

sprite

same here, Haz. But the place where we get our cars from are like friends. I get my cars from them and they do the maintenance since I was 24.

3:47 am

sprite

awwww a little like Holland. Our Spring happened on Monday and Tuesday last week.

3:47 am

Haz1558

That's good because they know your needs.

3:48 am

Haz1558

I'm exaggerating slightly about the sunshine! It's just that it had been so long since we didn't have rain at least part of the day.

3:49 am

sprite

lol, I knew you were. So am I. Most of the year seems to be autumn, the last couple of years. Rain and wind and mist and wetness and gloom.

3:50 am

Haz1558

Maybe this summer will be good. (The triumph of hope over experience)

3:51 am

sprite

am hoping for th4 to happen too. We could do with a lot of sunshine and light.

3:51 am

Haz1558

I always feel a kind of longing for more light at this time of year. It's a triumph when the days start to lengthen.

3:52 am

JFB

Haz - you're in the wrong place - my bit of Cornwall is bathed in (rather chilly) sunshine.

3:52 am

sprite

hi JFB. I love wintersun. So much better than less cold but rainy.

3:53 am

Haz1558

Good morning JFB. Prepare for the stampede. If you hear a dull roar, you'll know the rest of the country is on its way.

3:53 am

sprite

lol

3:53 am

JFB

We have had 2 glorious weeks - freezing but with the clear sunshine you don't get in summer

3:54 am

JFB

Hatches are being battened down as we speak!

3:55 am

Haz1558

But I suppose you're used to an annual invasion of holidaymakers anyway?

3:56 am

JFB

Yes Haz - most of them are lovely people but........!!!

3:56 am

Haz1558

But. I know.

3:57 am

Haz1558

Have you thought of border posts to root out the undesirables?

3:58 am

JFB

The really nice ones come early and late in the season - empty nesters who aren't tied to school holidays

3:58 am

Haz1558

The guards could be trained for signs of trouble ahead.

3:59 am

JFB

There's a thought - we could turn the Tamar Bridge into a drawbridge!

3:59 am

sprite

it is a babbler's grid today. da4 and lo4 so far.

4:00 am

JFB

Well I must away and make good use of a sunny day off - bbl

4:00 am

Haz1558

See you later JFB - and enjoy the day.

garaga said it was the battery. The thing had died. So they replaced it and tested the whole start combination, and all is working. They didn't charge anything. So they were really cool about it.

4:44 am

redturtlehead

Nice Sprite. Lots of birds in the grid today.

5:00 am

Scrabbler

Hello all! I woke up 10 minutes before my alarm. My first silly move of the day: I made coffee, poured it into my cup, found that, while I did put water into the coffee-maker, I forgot to put the filter and coffee grounds in. Now I am making coffee instead of hot water--should be ready soon for anyone that wants it.

5:01 am

redturtlehead

LOL Scrabbker...Good Morning!

5:01 am

redturtlehead

I am craving turkey and chips.

herinfernallady

Scrabbler that sounds like me. I did that the other day except it was cold water

5:02 am

sprite

hey Scrabbler!

5:02 am

5:02 am

Scrabbler

Hi Sprite--how are you?

5:02 am

sprite

5:02 am

5:04 am

herinfernallady

left side done

5:04 am

sprite

lots of stress lately again, Scrabbler, but today should be ok. No duties, cause hubby is home... or should be home, actually. Haven't seen him yet.

5:04 am

redturtlehead

5:08 am

herinfernallady

5:09 am

5:09 am

herinfernallady

OH Sprite i get discombobulated when b.f leaves me without a hug in the morning

5:10 am

sprite

if there is an emergency, I will settle for a note. But him missing for hours without a sign kinda pisses me off.

5:10 am

herinfernallady

Yes me too. Was he at work?

5:10 am

ExWren

You would think that after nearly three years of babbling, I would have seen every word in the English dictionary, but gh6/27 is a new one to me

5:10 am

sprite

lol ExWren, hi, and I had the same.

5:11 am

herinfernallady

HI WREn

Hi ExWren

brb cats being naughty

5:13 am

OK, I am worried about my day. Take #2 on coffee preparation ended in collapsed filter within the basket and a big mess with coffee grounds in the caraf. Argh. Take #3 is underway.

5:14 am

sprite

*hugs Scrabbler*
Some days are like that. But some only start that way. You will be fine, hun. Promise.

5:14 am

Scrabbler

Now, let me find this odd GH word.

5:15 am

Scrabbler

How likely am I to find this odd GH word if it is odd?

5:15 am

sprite

we have a jillibus vid today! And of course it is marvellous!

5:16 am

sprite

you take the gh, Scrabbler, plus a vowel, and you use the ending of the egyptian ruler fa***.

5:16 am

ExWren

I can't imagine how someone who's first language isn't English gets some of these words, or perhaps it is an advantage? Is that so Sprite?

5:16 am

Scrabbler

I will finish tonight and get to see it.

5:17 am

sprite

yes ExWren, it is. I am used to try silly combinations because I realise I don't know enough words to cancel any opportunities before trying.

5:17 am

Scrabbler

TY, Sprite

5:17 am

carleekat

good morning

5:17 am

sprite

with words like this, I usually end up with one missing word for a tile, and only a few lengths left that it can be.

5:18 am

sprite

good morning carlee! I see a birthday cake... is it your birthday?

5:18 am

Scrabbler

Hi Carlee--is it someone's birthday?

5:38 am

Scrabbler

Fever is not bad---immune system at work. What other symptoms does she have, mrp? With flu there can be fever for 7-10 days.

5:38 am

mrpresident

it isn't ice infern, it is a cool wheat bag, no ice involved.... but I understand tepid and she has 2 luke-warm showers a day

5:39 am

sprite

we will bombard her with well-wishes, prayers and good thoughts, mrP. It is bound to work. Especially with the antibiotics ;)

7:30 am

Aloyisius

humor must help jiggle the grey matter.. (-:

7:30 am

LoriP

Bonus for Hobbit!

7:31 am

Scarlet

7:31 am

Atalante

7:31 am

Scarlet

Any Santeria practitioners around, Ata?

7:31 am

Aloyisius

h'mm... strange

7:32 am

FMitch

I feel very concerned for the goat all of a sudden

7:32 am

Atalante

whats Santeria??

7:32 am

Scarlet

G'day, FMitch!

7:33 am

FMitch

Hello Scarlet have you recovered after the party?

7:33 am

Scarlet

It's an island religion...sort of a cross between Roman Catholocism, Voodoo and some other oddments thrown in

7:33 am

Scarlet

Animal sacrifice plays a major part in its beliefs.

7:33 am

Uneaixoise

booming market in Tennessee for goat's meat--purchased by rapidly increasing Hispanic population--and I thought all those goats I was seeing were for milk and cheese!

7:33 am

FMitch

perhaps it was a porr centaur rather than a traditional goat?

7:34 am

Scarlet

Yes, Ms. FMitch...still have a booming headache from all of Aloy's mini-wheats... but, otherwise, okay... LOL

7:34 am

Atalante

oooo! *looks round suspiciously*

7:34 am

Uneaixoise

thought santeria practitioners just sacrificed chickens . . .

7:34 am

Uneaixoise

as you can see in my icon, I was more than ready to sacrifice my BROTHER! LOL

7:34 am

Scarlet

Within the center urban and cities, yes, but a goat is not unheard of for certain elements, Une... not that I have an interaction with it...LOL

7:35 am

Atalante

are goats more common than chickens in cities?

7:35 am

Aloyisius

passes Scarlet some Alka Seltzer

7:35 am

FMitch

hello Une.
Great photo!

7:35 am

Scarlet

Drat! I can barely see it, Une... No, Ata... very unusual.

7:36 am

Uneaixoise

Scarlet

7:36 am

7:45 am

FMitch

7:45 am

Vicuna

How can a goat have repeat business as a sacrifice?

7:46 am

Vicuna

Haz1558

Good morning/afternoon all.

8:23 am

Atalante

st haz!

8:24 am

Haz1558

pu7 - a breed of dog, (three letters) a vowel, then the first three letters of a dance, a fishing line or a spool of film

8:24 am

Haz1558

'Tis I!

8:24 am

Atalante

an ugly breed of dog

8:24 am

Merk

fireworks!

8:25 am

pabtrek

congrats Merk

8:25 am

Haz1558

Does the ugly help to define the breed?

8:25 am

Atalante

oh yes

8:25 am

Atalante

the only thing uglier is the peke

8:25 am

jan

Ha--I tried unsuccessfully to make the ugly dog into an insult...still thinking it would be a good word

8:26 am

Vicuna

Hello, again.

8:26 am

Atalante

hii!

8:27 am

Atalante

it would be, jan

8:27 am

Haz1558

jan, I would agree with you. Would an Australian ugly dog crossed with a marsupial be a pu***oo?

8:27 am

Denny

Afternoon babblers!!!

8:27 am

Haz1558

Hello Vicuna!

8:27 am

Merk

What does pu 8 mean anyway?

8:27 am

jan

Haz, that would be scary...

8:27 am

Haz1558

pu7 is apparently a scarf you tie round a hat.

8:27 am

Atalante

its something round a hat I think

8:28 am

Haz1558

Wouldn't it just, jan?

8:29 am

arwennn

how many words today?

8:29 am

Merk

the grid is easy and the skilled fellow on the video makes it worth finishing if you have time.

8:29 am

Haz1558

145 today

8:30 am

Atalante

the grid is horrid

8:30 am

Merk

Time to shower ... see you tomorrow

8:30 am

Vicuna

I sense a difference of opinions.

8:31 am

Atalante

yes ... ppl either seem to think the grid is really hard or really easy

8:32 am

Vicuna

Hmmm.... I hope I will turn out to be in the easy camp!

8:32 am

Merk

I had a stressfree morning so I could concentrate on the grid and it didn't take me long ... not like some.

8:32 am

jan

I think it's both--the first 120 or so are easy, and there are a few weird stinkers standing between me and fireworks...off to A2Z

8:32 am

Haz1558

I quite liked the grid. Is anybody keeping count?

8:33 am

Haz1558

Will those weird stinkers in Jan's way get out of the road. You know who you are.

8:33 am

Atalante

I think its me and Lori vs everyone else

8:34 am

Haz1558

There are a few new words but the majority are normal - just twisty to find.

8:35 am

jan

Ok, so some of them were normal words disguising themselves as stinkers...fireworks finally.

8:35 am

Vicuna

Yay for jan!

8:36 am

Vicuna

date

8:36 am

Vicuna

Oh bother.

8:36 am

Vicuna

Just checking - Is it February 20?

8:36 am

Haz1558

Congratulations jan!

8:37 am

Vicuna

8:37 am

Haz1558

Yes, it's February 20.

8:37 am

arwennn

yes vic

8:37 am

Atalante

nice try

8:38 am

jan

Ever noticed that when somebody types in a word, it's always one you have, never one like the gh/6/27?

8:38 am

Haz1558

At least she's not trawling for an admirer.

8:38 am

christy8376

hello

8:38 am

Vicuna

The really sad thing is, it was one I already had, too.

8:39 am

Haz1558

Yes, but if someone does type in a weird word by mistake I never know whether to be indignant or grateful.

8:39 am

christy8376

does this puzzle seem more difficult to anyone?

8:39 am

pabtrek

congrats jan

8:39 am

christy8376

maybe i'm just to thick

8:39 am

Haz1558

Hello christy.

8:40 am

Atalante

8:48 am

Anniebrook

Has Scarlet recovered from all the Mini-Wheats?

8:48 am

Haz1558

I don't know, but I think we'd better whisper when she's around.

8:49 am

Atalante

*randomness* I saw a green woodpecker today. They are so pretty!

8:50 am

8:53 am

Haz1558

The bird is a lovely colour.

8:53 am

Atalante

it was amazing! really bright among the sparrows fluttering around

8:55 am

Haz1558

Could they build a hidey house with chairs and blankets draped over and play inside? Or a tape/CD of songs for them to listen to or sing along with.

8:57 am

OrangeCat

hi all

8:57 am

Denny

to be honest they won't do anything for longer than 5/10 minutes before thjey sgtart getting tetchy and falling out. Sean is miserable because he can't go to playgroup and Laura is just fed up. we've watched a dvd ( BIG treat) and played some games, but they're both tired and refusing to go to bed!!!

8:58 am

Atalante

tie them into bed :P

8:58 am

Anniebrook

denny, would reading a story to the kids help? Where is scrabbs with her prescription pad? For Denny, not the kids

8:59 am

Denny

done that - storied out!!! just biding my time till bedtime!!! they're quiet at the moment watching a bit of telly (hence why I'm on here)

9:00 am

Haz1558

If they're tired and grumpy and refusing to go to bed, sometimes you just have to be firm and insist. Or get them comfy with a duvet on the sofa and keep them quiet and soothed.

9:00 am

arwennn

ga5/14?

9:00 am

Haz1558

Are you wanting them to sleep now or just to be content?

9:01 am

Denny

bit late for them to sleepnow - just to be quiet and chill

9:01 am

Haz1558

ga5/14 - a bouquet ga5/14 is often used to flavour food. French for ga6/27ed

9:07 am

Vicuna

Hmmm... I'm afraid not really. Usually my kids are happy to be read to all day long when they don't feel well. And a treat video, but it sounds as if Denny's done that already.

9:07 am

Vicuna

Bye for now, Ata.

9:08 am

hjule

9:08 am

Denny

9:08 am

Denny

can't take them out as they are contagious at the mo'!! They don't seem to be itching at the moment whoich is good, but I suppose once the blisters start bursting and scabbing, that's when it might start?

9:10 am

Denny

I remember I gve my then 17 year old brother the mumps - he's never forgiven me!!

9:16 am

Scarlet

Messy is the BEST fun, Denny... LOL...you are probably maxed out on energy right now.

Haz1558

Poor brother - you can understand him being annoyed.

9:26 am

harpjane

well i only have 26 words and i'm ready for the list!

9:27 am

Haz1558

Honestly, the vast majority of the words are normal. You just need to be prepared to navigate every which way to find them.

9:27 am

harpjane

9:28 am

Oh... excuse me, red... but that sounds kind of topsy-turvy...

9:51 am

redturtlehead

I want desperately to goto FL, but there is some issue with getting thelicense quickly, and then getting a job in the right area...

9:51 am

redturtlehead

always is, when I don't alreadyhave the license.

9:51 am

Scarlet

Do you have to apply and test in the state first?

9:52 am

redturtlehead

No testing, just pay a load of cash, and provide a lot of documentation, we all take the same test...so its sort of a pain.

9:52 am

Scarlet

Is your specialty a certain type of nursing care?

9:53 am

redturtlehead

I do Emergency nursing, but the license is just general.

9:53 am

redturtlehead

Scarlet, I love your icon...

9:53 am

Scarlet

ER is a demanding job... takes a certain type of person...

AnnieOakley

I feel so dumb :(

10:05 am

my kids are 9 and 12 and they both think they are teens already... at this point I wish I had an empty nest, although I'm sure once I'm there I'll wish they were 9 & 12 again

4:57 pm

Mom

oh please, Michnick, that would be wonderful

4:57 pm

Scarlet

Oh, Mom... that is really touchy-new then... it doesn't make any difference whether we approve of their decisions or not... they have to learn, spread their wings and go to school or work or relationships...

4:57 pm

Michnick

Thanks Scarlet, but I don't see myself finishing tonight.
