2:08 am

2:08 am

2:25 am

herinfernallady

No i appear and i seem to have some how pissed people off and they leave and yes this has been notice by 3 seperate babblers. Ergo i lurk now and say hi

I think you will find that it is just Australia being out of kilter time-wise with the rest of the world Infernal

2:27 am

sprite

hi lynxxx, MVA, lady! *hugs* to you all.
Let's hope it is just coincidence, lady... people are usually mature enough here to say it if something is wrong. Don't think it is personaly, hun.
And if it is... well, some people cannot be pleased in any way, let them go.

2:27 am

herinfernallady

Lynxx its not. 3 other people have told me and so ergo i lurk and im not speaking of this again

2:28 am

Hi All - Has your husband made a full recovery Sprite?

2:30 am

hi mari! He went to the hospital again yesterday, blood tests and Xrays have confirmed there is no sign of rheumatism. And the gout seems to react well to the combined new meds. So yes, he is up and about, still very tired, but much more back to his usual self. Thanks for asking :D

2:30 am

herinfernallady

That is true Lynxx

2:30 am

herinfernallady

Glad hubby sprite is better

2:30 am

lynxxx

thats great Sprite - and you? how are the aches from the fall?

2:31 am

sprite

you have no lurking permission, lady. We need our lady around here, talking. And as long as nobody tells you directly, just ignore it. Things are hardly ever the way they seem. And some people love stirring things up the bad way...

2:31 am

mari

I'm glad it's not rheumatism my sister-in-law suffers terribly

2:32 am

MVA

got to go. glad your husband is better sprite and hope you are too, no lurking herin, bye all!

2:32 am

sprite

not a happy body yet, lynxxx and lady, it hu4s a lot still. Bound to be that way for a little longer, I am afraid. Bruises are looking interesting by now, lol. But I can manage. Taking it slow.

2:32 am

herinfernallady

2:43 am

sprite

lol, I remember complaining to a very close friend about the way my firstborn had taken over my life and demanded a nonstop availability from me (he was a crybaby). And she, having no kids, said: I understand, darling, you MUST be longing for an evening out with your hubby.
And I got mad and yelled: you don't understand sh*t! I am longing for one time on the toilet without being torn away with a nude butt!

2:44 am

sprite

she has her own little boy now and she finally forgave me, lol. She NOW understands.

2:45 am

mari

my offspring are in their 30's and I still remember the first time I closed the door when I had a bath !!

2:45 am

lynxxx

lol - the joys of (new) Motherhood - you don't/can't imagine what a difference emotionally & physically it makes to your life. (Brookie does have another son)

lynxxx

3:06 am

sprite

lolol yes, th4 one is pestering me too.

3:08 am

sprite

3:10 am

sprite

lynxxx, when someone pokes a dagger in your upper extremity, wouldn't it be called an ar*st**?

3:11 am

lynxxx

lol - are you getting desperate Sprite?

3:11 am

sprite

can you tell? :)

3:13 am

sprite

I also keep seeing humanitas, which wouldn't even be valid if it weren't a phantom.

3:18 am

sprite

desperation can be useful, though. Pr6. 2 syllables, no plural. Weird word.

3:20 am

lynxxx

and I think you are on the right track

3:21 am

3:22 am

lynxxx

3:30 am

lynxxx

3:36 am

hm, no unwords so far, just hard-to-spot ones. I like this grid.

3:36 am

lynxxx

down to 11 but only top row all greyed

3:37 am

sprite

top row and 2nd column here, down to 12. Are you having fun?

3:38 am

lynxxx

its not bad, I have the 2nd column too - we must have same words

3:39 am

sprite

I think so too. Might mean the last few are nasty, though :)

3:41 am

lynxxx

last column done

3:41 am

sprite

ok, found one nasty one. hu4/7.
4th column done.

3:44 am

sprite

and a tu5 looking like a plural, but singular is not valid

3:44 am

lynxxx

how many hu4.7s are there? I already have 1

3:44 am

sprite

there are 2.

3:45 am

lynxxx

tu5.14? the paint cleaner?

lynxxx

TY

oops... next time tell me to sh4 up then, lynxxx.

4:07 am

lynxxx

Hey Scrabbs, I have been taking your advice and getting outside in the sunshine and it is working. I feel like I have so much more energy. My dogs are loving it too. I had them for a long walk yesterday. Our temp. here was about 45! I think spring is really coming!

6:09 am

herinfernallady

Lori Sunlight is good for you i am hopeless i don't go out enough

6:10 am

Scrabbler

Yippee for Lori Ann---exercise is a prescription for the doldrums, whether mild or severe.

6:10 am

lori ann

I hate darkness herin, and I get so depressed during the winter months.

6:11 am

herinfernallady

Oh S.A.D?

herinfernallady

6:14 am

pinkhatlil

winter is the most depressing time for me, not being able to stay out late, the coldness and darkness drawing in early...exercise is a good thing to do when feeling down

6:15 am

lori ann

I like my doctor to herin. I think it's very important to be comfortable with your Dr.

6:15 am

herinfernallady

I don't know what winters going to be like autumn is summer its a joke. I don't think i even pulled my long trench coat out last year. I used to wear a jumper under it it was so sodding cold

6:25 am

herinfernallady

Stick on in your head to drain fluid Scrabbler

6:25 am

Scrabbler

Pink--most of the words are 4 letter words, and they are embedded nicely.

6:26 am

MaMaWA

good morning or evening :-)

6:26 am

Scrabbler

Aha, TY, Lady!

6:26 am

herinfernallady

Opps . Let me try that again. If you have a fluid problem in your head they stick a Sh??? in to drain the fluid away

6:26 am

herinfernallady

Thats right isn't it?

6:26 am

6:29 am

herinfernallady

6:29 am

Scrabbler

I am the only doc on Wed AMs, so the office would be in big trouble if I called in sick.

6:29 am

lori ann

6:30 am

MaMaWA

Scrabbler

6:34 am

herinfernallady

OH Scrabbler one of your patients?

6:35 am

Scrabbler

I keep thinking that maybe it is all a mistake and that some benign explanation will be found.

6:35 am

herinfernallady

Scrabbler i am so so sorry it doesn't seem fair

6:35 am

Scrabbler

OK, I must get ready. Bye everyone! Enjoy the day.

7:04 am

FMitch

id xiyeaw = of course if you shift 1 letter to the right on the keyboard.

7:05 am

Uniquity

I don't type "properly" though...so my typos don't always make sense, L)

7:05 am

Uniquity

That's my lazer beam eyes...*diving in grid*

7:05 am

FMitch

We read what you expect to see rather than what is there.
Diving in too

7:06 am

LoriP

euterm? And she mocks my typing?

7:06 am

LoriP

***drains the pool, watches for reaction***

7:07 am

FMitch

Ouch! that was not funny, I've squished Uni!

7:07 am

Uniquity

I went down the drain safely Lori, don't worry about me

7:07 am

Uniquity

That payback for me climbing on your back the other day, FM?

7:07 am

carleekat

oh..lori is in an SD mood today.... rebound from being quiet too long no doubt

7:07 am

LoriP

***feels satisfied at having distracted FM and Uni***

7:07 am

FMitch

Not at all, it was HER fault

7:08 am

FMitch

well that is the top line greyed out, Im sure the rest of the gird will bite back.

7:08 am

LoriP

I prefer to think of it as er, um, playful carlee. In a destructive kind of way.....

7:09 am

carleekat

of course u do lori... passing lori her meds to maintain her sense of delusion

7:10 am

FMitch

Im reporting Mrs Lori to the chief of police next time I see her.

Hello again Haz, you are just in time for carlee's slutty christmas tree

7:45 am

Haz1558

Hello Vicuna!

7:45 am

lil*monkey

how can a Xmas tree be slutty?

7:45 am

FMitch

and Vi too how lovely

7:45 am

Haz1558

Yes, I was reading back in the log. Madame Lori has some explaining to do.

7:45 am

Anniebrook

Hi Vicuna!

7:45 am

carleekat

7:45 am

FMitch

Thats what we are waiting to see lil*m

7:46 am

lil*monkey

7:46 am

Vicuna

Apparently the tree has tassels on its ti4/4.

7:46 am

72 Temple Owl

oo, what did i miss?! (hi vi)]

7:46 am

Vicuna

Motorized ones.

7:46 am

Haz1558

Is it the sort of tree la Jordan would have?

7:46 am

lil*monkey

LOL vicuna

7:46 am

Vicuna

At least, that's the impression I've gathered from the log.

7:47 am

EvaNadine

mornin babblers!

7:47 am

Haz1558

Oh good, Vicuna, I'm not the only one to read back. Were you not shocked at Lori?

7:47 am

Haz1558

Hello EvaN!

7:47 am

72 Temple Owl

=O

7:47 am

FMitch

i, I think you might need to get your eyes tested or your imagination tempered a little

7:47 am

Vicuna

Good morning, EvaN!

7:47 am

Anniebrook

morning, EvaN

7:47 am

EvaNadine

how is everyone today?

7:48 am

72 Temple Owl

hi evan

7:48 am

Haz1558

I'm well, thanks, EvaN, though considerably wind-tossed.

7:48 am

Vicuna

I didn't read back far enough to be shocked at Lori, I'm afraid! I only got as far as what was still on my screen! What naughtiness has Lori been up to this time?

7:48 am

FMitch

Hi EvaN

7:48 am

Haz1558

She stuck out her tongue at me. Can you imagine?

7:48 am

carleekat

ok..slutty tree in place

7:48 am

lil*monkey

it had nothing to do with me, Haz

7:49 am

Vicuna

Disgraceful! And in absentia, too? That's just childish. Tsk tsk.

7:49 am

FMitch

How can you take a man seriosly when his name is Darling! Our Chancellor who is giving the annual Budget sppech for those that were even vaguely not interested :)

7:49 am

Haz1558

Listen, I get blamed for all sorts. Somebody last night asked for a clue for the undergarment, was told that they didn't have it, but that it was something to do with Haz!?

7:49 am

carleekat

is like our premier..dalton...how can ANYONE take that name seriously

7:50 am

Jacula

Afternoon 'well-balanced and sane' people.:-)

7:50 am

Haz1558

It's the fact that his eyebrows and his hair are two different colours that bothers me.

7:50 am

carleekat

ok..the SLUTTY tree in place

7:50 am

FMitch

Haz that goes down in history as The Classic moment

7:50 am

carleekat

hi there jacs

7:50 am

lil*monkey

are you going to explain, carlee?

7:51 am

Haz1558

Sorry, Jacula, if it's well balanced and sane, I think you're in the wrong place. Hello there!

7:51 am

Vicuna

*looks around anxiously, wondering where the well-balanced and sane people are*

7:51 am

carleekat

i did lil... its all tarted up..full of cheap coloured baubles... its my slutty xmas tree

7:51 am

FMitch

Im a bit disappointed, it's rather pretty carlee *grin*

Afternoon Jacs

7:52 am

lori ann

I'm back all...any help with the ta5 12 please

7:52 am

Haz1558

I don't think it's slutty, I think it's a lesson in embellishment.

7:52 am

lil*monkey

*pondering the meaning of 'slutty' tree*

7:52 am

Haz1558

ta5/12 - a plural for ta4/5

7:52 am

Vicuna

I don't know, carleekat. Unless there are details I'm missing it looks more overwrought than slutty! Possibly gaudy...

7:53 am

Vicuna

A trifle baroque...

7:53 am

Haz1558

Garish might be the worst thing I could say about it.

7:53 am

lori ann

Haz, that must be the only 4,5 I don't have?

7:53 am

Haz1558

But I think its morals are intact. It's a well-meaning tree.

7:54 am

lil*monkey

i have to leave for work! i hope i can see the tree later, carlee

7:54 am

carleekat

there... a close up

7:54 am

Vicuna

I agree, Haz. I see no evidence that it is a lost tree or a fast tree!

7:54 am

Haz1558

ta4/5 - ta plus female possessive minus the vowel

7:54 am

Haz1558

It's an anagram for the cardiac sounding h4/5

7:54 am

FMitch

ROFL only in babble would a tree's sluttyness or lack of it be debated.
Much more amusing than the budget speech though

7:55 am

Haz1558

Definite baroque overtones - I think you're right, Vicuna.

7:55 am

carleekat

i tuck it back amongst some other stuffs on a cupboard at xmas time..and it picks up the dining room light...sparkles appropriately... and gives a bit of colour

7:55 am

Vicuna

Whoooeee, carleekat! No doubt about it, though, that is a tree that likes its bling!

7:55 am

lori ann

Thank you, Thank you, Haz!!! It would have taken me all day to get that one!!

7:55 am

Haz1558

You're welcome, lori - take note of it for it'll appear again, it's a bit of a babblet.

7:56 am

carleekat

its a tree with personality..and it makes me laugh...

7:56 am

FMitch

Absolutely!!

7:56 am

Vicuna

Well, then it has not lived in vain! =)

7:57 am

carleekat

( much more interesting then a budget speech anywhere...

7:58 am

BabbleRabble

those who are baroque may want to consider bankruptcy relief

7:58 am

FMitch

98 words and 925 points :)

7:58 am

Haz1558

What astounds me is that they give all these details and then within about two minutes the Shadow Chancellor is on his feet pointing out the disadvantages.

7:59 am

Haz1558

His capacity to stay interested is amazing.

7:59 am

Haz1558

Congratulations FMitch!

7:59 am

carleekat

<POMPOM TWIRL> for fm..woot woot...

7:59 am

carleekat

8:00 am

FMitch

8:01 am

Haz1558

The summary - blah blah blah, tax on cigarettes, blah blah blah, tax on fuel, blah blah blah, tax on alcohol, blah blah, tax on breathing, blah blah blah.

8:01 am

Vicuna

You should have Rembrandt to bring your wallet.

8:01 am

I'm back. Went to see son off. He's flying to Amsterdam today.... if flight goes. It's still very windy here. Can't see a thing now as it's bright outside and my specs have darkened. LOL

8:02 am

Haz1558

He's a plucky one prepared to fly in that!

8:03 am

FMitch

Didn't realise it was another self portrait in your icon Jacs :)

8:03 am

Vicuna

You would have Botticelli, but you only had enough money for a Viola?

8:03 am

EvaNadine

lol

8:03 am

9:16 am

westford

9:24 am

nancethefan

hey lady & bfsog

9:24 am

LadyNatts

hi nance

9:24 am

Scarlet

Isn't it amazing how different we all are, Lady? Some days I think the grid is "unattackable", and others, it flies...

9:24 am

bfsog

hows the grid treating you

9:25 am

Scarlet

So far, so good, bf. I just started, but down to 26 left.

9:25 am

ardilla

hi bf

9:25 am

LadyNatts

it usually flies for me once I open lickety's clues... maybe I should do that.

9:26 am

bfsog

i flew through the grid this morning,

9:26 am

Scarlet

I opened Lickety at 45 found, Lady. When there are so many consonants, I get grid blindness.. LOL

9:26 am

LadyNatts

oh good... glad I'm not the only one

9:27 am

Scarlet

We are not alone in our Babble oddness... there must be 500+ people who do this on a daily basis... and I am willing to bet that there are 500+ ways to approach the grid! :-)

9:28 am

LadyNatts

true that, Scarlet. True that.

9:30 am

pabtrek

I try to tough it out, especially on a small grid like this, sometimes I go to the chat log for the day and get clues that way, list is last resort unless I'm in a hurry :)

9:30 am

LadyNatts

bah, it doesn't accept them...

9:31 am

LadyNatts

me too pab... but eventually I stall. Today I stalled with 40 left.

9:31 am

Scarlet

I usually do too, pab, but today, I am giving in early... LOL. I have tons of little chores ahead, and have no excuse to goof off with the grid... LOL

9:31 am

pabtrek

I have 9 left, must be a good day for me

9:32 am

Scarlet

Wow... you're sailing right through it, pab!

9:32 am

9:57 am

Scarlet

Yes we are. Closet wooters have mysterious powers, Lady.

10:02 am

LadyNatts

the catch is weird words, orange

10:03 am

Scarlet

Oddball words are hiding in here, OrangeCat... but, for the most part, it is fairly simple.

10:03 am

nancethefan

hey cat - i find the smaller number of words, the more difficult to find them - but that's just me

10:03 am

LadyNatts

it is NOT just you, nance.

10:05 am

nancethefan

what's the estimated time y'all think we spend in here trying to locate words everyday?

10:06 am

Scarlet

Depends, nance... even with some big ones, you can sail through fairly quickly... and one like this can cost you two hours... not today, though.

10:06 am

EricJohnson

i havent, yet i guessed it

10:06 am

Scarlet

LadyN... I have heard of that... it is a nickname word for a resin.

One of the best vodkas is Finlandia, peri.

10:18 am

nancethefan

yay peri - ta da

10:18 am

periwinkle

ah, Finlandia, okay will take that under consideration

10:18 am

LadyNatts

I used to work in a liquor store, peri - parttime - in addition to my fulltime day job... good gin would be sapphire. and good vodka .... hmmmm... hard to say

10:18 am

godthaab

Vodka = Standart (usually written in Cyrillic- this is a letter for letter translation)

10:18 am

Scarlet

My mother used to keep the bottle in the freezer.

10:18 am

nancethefan

lady or scarlet - did eithe of you get fireworks yet?

10:18 am

periwinkle

my niece's spouse only drinks Grey Goose. The wine and spirit store also suggested Belvedere, which I had never heard of

Scarlet

Both of us, nance!! :-)

10:18 am

LadyNatts

periwinkle

godthaab, I saw that brand but did not know that one either, thanks

10:20 am

periwinkle

10:20 am

nancethefan

i didn't realized u lived in NC scarlet. I used to live in hendersonville

10:20 am

LadyNatts

that's what vodka is supposed to be made of, peri

10:20 am

godthaab

It was given to me by a Russian in St. Petersburg (Russsia). He claimed it was the best.

10:20 am

redturtlehead

Peri, I think all thoseheavy flavors get really burnt out by the alcohol....but then again, I cant recall when I last had a drink of anything.

10:20 am

Scarlet

If you don't care about supporting the Russian manufacturers, peri... there's always Stoli... I don't know how to spell the rest of the word, but Stoli is what everyone calls it.

10:21 am

mkg

10:21 am

nancethefan

10:23 am

Judi

Really, Peri? Never heard of vodka from wheat, unless it's part of the distilling process and they have to list wheat for those with allergies.

10:23 am

LadyNatts

LadyNatts

I've often wished the same, Eric.

10:26 am

nancethefan

i asked it at 10:23 lol

10:26 am

Scarlet

No, nance... the chat has been flying.

10:27 am

Scarlet

Oh, yes. The BeauCatcher Tunnel right outside the city... on the way to the Asheville Mall.

10:27 am

LadyNatts

10:27 am

LadyNatts

Beaucatcher???

10:28 am

nancethefan

yep - thanks - that's the one - one of my friends took me through it - it was a hoot - everyone was blowing their horns

10:28 am

nancethefan

lol silly lady

10:28 am

Scarlet

Yep!! It's a bit of a joke that kids can grope one another in the relative darkness of the tunnel, but it is a short bit of darkness... LOL

10:28 am

LadyNatts

one is supposed to find a beau by blowing car horns?

10:29 am

Scarlet

No... announcing that they had been...er... ah... successful in the groping department... LOL

10:29 am

LadyNatts

lol... I always say, I learn something new every day here

10:29 am

Scarlet

Do your REALLY need to know this tidbit of Asheville history, Lady? LOL

10:29 am

nancethefan

it is - i wasn't told about the groping though - phew - i'm glad i made it through there safely - LOL

10:30 am

LadyNatts

oh nance, you are killing me, I am laughing so hard

10:30 am

nancethefan

LOL

10:30 am

EricJohnson

apparently slang works, a ghetto word for cool

10:30 am

nancethefan

well our horn was blowing but i wasn't groped - lol

10:31 am

LadyNatts

foreign language words work as well, eric, but it's hit and miss (some do, some don't)

10:31 am

redturtlehead

Only someslang Eric, the enable dictionary is very odd....especially since that cool wordis notreally used too much anyore.

10:31 am

nancethefan

i used to go the the Fletcher flea market - have you been there scarlet?

10:32 am

EricJohnson

thanks turtlehead

10:32 am

Scarlet

You were one of the few, then, nance... my beloved and I are simple travellers... no groping. I should paint one of those circle signs with a red line slanted through it and two shadowy people with arms around one another and put it on the bumper.

10:32 am

nancethefan

LOL

10:32 am

Scarlet

No, nance... but the Farmer's Market of Western NOrth Carolina is right down the road from us.

11:22 am

redturtlehead

Ahh Nance, I quit drinking soda about 2 years ago, everyonce in a while now, but i rarely drink the stuff.

11:22 am

nancethefan

11:23 am

nancethefan

good for you red

11:23 am

redturtlehead

I feel alot better for it. but it wasn't easy.

11:24 am

nancethefan

especially if you drank sodas with caffiene in them - it will give you a killer headache for about a week

11:25 am

LadyNatts

not a soda (pop) fan... I do not drink them, sam I am. :D

11:25 am

redturtlehead

I have not been able to give up coffee, but...At least I am not drinking whatever is in the diet drinks.

nancethefan

crap seems to be a very popular word in the chat today

11:43 am

LadyNatts

and his breed typically tips the scales over 100lbs

11:44 am

redturtlehead

Lady you are brave. Teulu is done at about 78 pounds. and that is enough for me.

11:44 am

LadyNatts

ah no bravery about it, red... the giants are the gentle ones.

11:45 am

redturtlehead

But I have 3 months goals for my next contract, and dealing with his not being wellsocialized is one ofthem.

11:45 am

redturtlehead

Teulu is not very gentle, but I suppose he is only mid-sized.... :)

11:45 am

toadandtoadette

1:29 pm

nancethefan

thanky you vicuna

1:30 pm

Vicuna

Babblet is a loose term. It generally just means funny little words that come up with surprising frequency in the grid but very low frequency in actual life.

1:30 pm

toadandtoadette

I know this was clued earlier but could someone clue it again, ta4.5/5.12 I don't understand the goat reference

1:30 pm

aprilrain

CadFan

1:32 pm

toadandtoadette

thank you I would have never gotten that

1:32 pm

Vicuna

Well, I myself don't recall seeing kheda with much frequency, but it could be. Among the more famous are the Hawaiian goose, the Amazonian dolphin, and the volcano.

1:33 pm

aprilrain

but at least the dictionary can define those

1:33 pm

nancethefan

is that the nene?

1:33 pm

nancethefan

1:33 pm

Vicuna

Nene is the goose, yes.

1:39 pm

1:46 pm

Atalante

went to the dentist this morning to *finally* get this crown fitted. It was fine until the anaesthetic wore off completely about 3/4 way through. It *hurt*

1:46 pm

Haz1558

I know - waiting for husband to come home.

1:46 pm

nancethefan

un 6/24 - removes headwear

1:47 pm

kje

1:47 pm

Haz1558

It shouldn't have worn off that quickly!

1:47 pm

Vicuna

Oh, yuck! That's not right.

1:47 pm

Atalante

I know! it wore off in about 15 mins. stupid stuff!

1:47 pm

FMitch

Definately! is it still hurting hun?

1:48 pm

Haz1558

Did nice dentist not offer more?

1:48 pm

Atalante

yes *sulks*

1:48 pm

nancethefan

1:49 pm

FMitch

passes mug of fruit tea with a staw (just the right temp for drinking)

1:49 pm

Atalante

he did, but at that point he said there was only 1 more bit that would really hurt and he didn't really want to. And he was right, I guess, there was only one moment when I wanted to kill him

1:49 pm

Atalante

oooops sorry!

1:49 pm

Haz1558

Did you get an 'I've been incredibly brave' sticker?

1:49 pm

Yay for kje!

1:50 pm

Atalante

1:50 pm

Atalante

1:50 pm

Haz1558

And random thought - isn't Three Blind Mice sung in a round? It came into my head last night - so appropriate considering your ceiling infestation.

1:50 pm

FMitch

So thats where GC has been hiding, thought I had lost him again.

1:50 pm

nancethefan

lol vic - stop, you are making me laugh too hard

1:50 pm

2:06 pm

Atalante

2:06 pm

Vicuna

Stidmama, nice trillium!

Hi FM -- I see you have the Disneyfied Pooh >-[

2:07 pm

stidmama

Vi -- did you see my icon? that's the block I carved!

2:07 pm

jillibus

ata -- you're going to do dc????? That should be a challenge!

2:07 pm

FMitch

I couldn't find a proper Poohbear so I had to make do

2:07 pm

stidmama

got the whole top row grey!

2:08 pm

FMitch

jilli I think you are the best transformation so far, so regal!

2:08 pm

jillibus

ok, you're forgiven, FM but you should take the blame for using it, lol!

2:08 pm

nancethefan

stid - what type & what are your blocks used for?

2:08 pm

Vicuna

Jilli, I agree about the dreadfulness of the Disneyfied version of Pooh et al.

2:09 pm

Atalante

you were a fab transformation, jill!

2:09 pm

stidmama

I only do things like that occasionally nance, I prefer to make stencils (though haven't had time for it this year)

2:09 pm

Vicuna

Yeah, I saw, stidmama. I love the way the petals and the leaves are almost reverses of each other.

2:09 pm

FMitch

I take the blame for most other things so why not poor Mr Sauders(?)

2:09 pm

stidmama

I had trouble recognizing Jill in her Cartlandised-pic

2:09 pm

jillibus

well, shucks, but ata was too kind!

2:09 pm

stidmama

thanks Vi. I was happy with it. A couple places I wish I hadn't carved out quite so much.

2:10 pm

jillibus

FM, I found a black and white Mr Sanders in Google Images for Pooh Bear

2:10 pm

jbp

it's way cool stid.

2:11 pm

stidmama

but that is the sort of thing that only more experience takes care of

2:11 pm

nancethefan

that's wonderful - before this darned depression got me, i used to needlepoint, cross stitch, quilt, stencil borders - o loved crafting.

2:11 pm

FMitch

That was just the sort of thing I was looking for jilli, c'est la vie.

2:11 pm

jillibus

Must go, gang -- back this evening (here) -- 6 or 7 hours from now

2:11 pm

nancethefan

i not o - darned typos from me today

2:11 pm

FMitch

Bye have a good day!

2:12 pm

nancethefan

bye jilli - tc & hb

2:12 pm

Atalante

I can tell when I'm feeling depressed, I want to cross-stitch

2:12 pm

stidmama

you know nance, one of the things that helps me a lot when I am depressed is a small project. A very small one. Even a tiny little card can brighten my mood.

2:12 pm

stidmama

later Jill!

2:12 pm

jbp

bashar

2:12 pm

jbp

oops

2:12 pm

jbp

well, it wasn't even a word.

2:12 pm

stidmama

did it work jbp?

2:13 pm

jbp

nah, sadly

2:13 pm

jbp

nah, sadly

2:13 pm

FMitch

lol Ata trust you to be contrary

2:14 pm

stidmama

oh well... *looks harder*

2:14 pm

Atalante

of course lol

2:14 pm

nancethefan

thanks, stid. i am, or was, the type of person who wouldn't start with something small & easy - the prettier, largest & most difficult projects were the ones i wanted to so.

2:14 pm

jbp

i keep looking at that B and feel like there must be a mackerel smack coming my way, but I just can't break it

2:15 pm

jbp

(break it = turn grey)

2:15 pm

stidmama

oh, I see nance. for me, big usually means "unfinished" LOL I am a short and simple mind, and my projects must be likewise.

2:15 pm

Vicuna

I do some big and some small, but I do find that projects that seem as if they never will be finished start to loom rather depressingly.

2:15 pm

nancethefan

i'm proud of myself - i have finished a quilt top, & am long-basting the back to i can using the sewing machine to complete the edge & i'll be ready for hand-quilting - it means so much to me to have made it this far

2:16 pm

Vicuna

That's a big project all right, nance!

2:16 pm

stidmama

nance, that is WONDERFUL!!!! what an exciting thing to accomplish. how proud you must feel!

2:17 pm

nancethefan

i always tried to challenge myself. i have a dozen or so cross stitch pieces completed & all i need to do is get them framed - i can't even seem to get that done - but i will - will y'all help me with moral support?

2:17 pm

Atalante

woot nance!

2:18 pm

nancethefan

lol @ woot

2:18 pm

Vicuna

Do you like your moral support in the form of daily nagging?

2:18 pm

jbp

I can't sew for beans, but I can bead. And making earrings always cheers me up

2:18 pm

sadie52

tadaa happy happy joy joy dance finished it

2:18 pm

nancethefan

thanks y'all - i am proud of myself

2:18 pm

jbp

Vicuna

Yay for sadie!

2:18 pm

FMitch

Congrats sadie

2:18 pm

stidmama

2:18 pm

stidmama

YAY sadie!

2:18 pm

sadie52

ty ty

2:19 pm

sadie52

ive a couple cross stitch pieces i have to get started on yet

2:19 pm

nancethefan

i want to use beautiful, small beads to make Christmas ornaments - anyone have any suggestions for me

2:19 pm

jbp

what kind of ornaments, nance?

2:19 pm

stidmama

I have the cross-stitch stocking I was working on before my elder child was born... LOL maybe it'll be ready for a great-grandchild.

2:19 pm

nancethefan

yay sadie - ta da

2:19 pm

sadie52

ty

2:20 pm

nancethefan

lol stid - i have some of those also

2:20 pm

stidmama

nance, shipwreck beads is a local outfit to me, they have a catalog and bill themselves as having the "world's largest selection of beads" -- I know the woman who goes around the world to find new sources. They have WONDERFUL beads

2:20 pm

sadie52

i had finished several victorian town pieces but no clue where they are got lost in the divorce somehow

2:20 pm

jbp

i did some a few years ago that went over well; I bought hollow glass ornaments and filled them with flat back sequins and beads... super easy and everyone loved them!

2:20 pm

nancethefan

have you seen the beautiful cross stitch angels with the flowing gowns & spectacular colors?

2:20 pm

nancethefan

the patterns i mean

2:20 pm

stidmama

time for a confession -- I can't visit Shipwreck beads unless I empty my wallet of plastic... LOL

2:21 pm

Atalante

those are the cross-stitches I do, nance

2:21 pm

jbp

i'm with you Stid!!!

2:21 pm

nancethefan

thanks jbp

2:21 pm

sadie52

lolool stidmama you sound like me

2:21 pm

sadie52

i get it a craft shop and watch out

2:21 pm

jbp

for inexpensive decent quality beads, you can't beat Fire Mountain Gems!

2:22 pm

nancethefan

those are the one i used to do - i just can't seem to keep my interest - that's so not like me when it comes to crafts

2:22 pm

jbp

Their website also has cool pattern instructions, if you're into that, for jewelry or stitching or weaving or whatever

2:22 pm

Atalante

I like Lavender and Lace

2:22 pm

lil*monkey

afternoon all... i'm back to find 51 more words

2:22 pm

stidmama

well nance -- maybe you just need a b break from it? when music stops being a joy for me, I stop practicing and wait for it to be fun again...

2:22 pm

stidmama

hello monkey!

2:22 pm

FMitch

oh have you got the web address handy jbp?

2:23 pm

jbp

I recommend playing with polymer clay

2:23 pm

jbp

you can make tiles similar to fabric, and use them to cover stuff like picture frames and it's very theraputic and pretty

2:23 pm

nancethefan

i was trying to figure out how string beads around styrofoam balls - any ideas how to keep them on without gluing?

2:23 pm

nancethefan

brb

2:23 pm

jbp

i believe it's firemountaingems.com

2:23 pm

lil*monkey

hi stid :)

2:24 pm

Dindrane

can anyone clue the hu5,14?

2:24 pm

FMitch

Ive been making paper beads for a change, very satisfying. Thanks jbp

2:24 pm

lil*monkey

nance can you use straight pins (stuck straight into the foam ball)

2:24 pm

stidmama

i haven't tried that exactly jbp, but did have fun making some large beads once.

2:24 pm

jbp

if you string the beads ahead of time, I find that hairspray can make them adhere while you're stringing. also there are little upside down V things you can stick into the styrofoam

2:25 pm

jbp

there are a LOVELY poly clay beads all over flickr if you look for them.

2:25 pm

Vicuna

hu5/14 - like give pain to, but with an extra pl letter inserted

2:25 pm

Atalante

paper beads?

2:25 pm

FMitch

There are even some tutorials on YouTube!

2:25 pm

jbp

I'm not one to polish mine though --I kind of like being able to see my finger prints in them

2:25 pm

jbp

I did the paper beads for awhile, but I didn't feel like I had as much creative control somehow.

2:26 pm

Dindrane

ah, thanks , Vicuna!

2:26 pm

jbp

thanks Vic!!

2:26 pm

lil*monkey

oh dindrane, i just LOVE that icon pic (looks like my little Minnie, rest her little soul)

stidmama

3:19 pm

nancethefan

LadyNatts

3:22 pm

stidmama

many of us suffer from depression/anxiety, don't we? But I will say, since finding Babble, I am a lot less anxious, a lot more able to cope with social situation, and a lot more comfortable showing people when I make something pretty.

3:22 pm

CadFan

Still seeking: How many 6 letter s's are there? How many 6 letter t's?

3:22 pm

stidmama

thanks Atalante! if you visit stidmama.com, you'll see the ones the boys made, too!

3:23 pm

LadyNatts

I like my pr clue better, ndan :P

3:23 pm

FMitch

zooms off to look at Atas flikr

3:24 pm

nDanLia

me too - hadn't updated it yet [i'm at new computer now] so pulled from g-mail draft

3:24 pm

Atalante

england is a special place. I generally don't like it, but it is very special

3:24 pm

LadyNatts

lol... alright, you're forgiven, then :)

3:25 pm

stidmama

well atalante, you are welcome to come visit us any time you are tired of the city... which reminds me: did your friend in oregon recover okay from the december storms? is her house okay now?

3:25 pm

LadyNatts

doesn't every place have its own specialness? I would love to go everywhere and see everything... alas, the lottery gods are not smiling on me

3:25 pm

stidmama

new computer nDan?

3:26 pm

Atalante

its just about ok now *and* I'm coming over *twice* this year. To Astoria

3:26 pm

LadyNatts

different computer than the one he started with, stid.

3:26 pm

nDanLia

different library - had to do school p/ups

3:26 pm

nancethefan

atalante - how beautiful - do you know that patterns like y'all's can be made into cross stitch patterns? That may be something that y'all could add to your business - You only have to grid the pattern & select floss colors (numbers). Being a cross stitcher myself, i would love to have choices of patterns like y'alls to select from.

3:26 pm

Atalante

everywhere has its specialness, but there's just something about the UK. its so old. continually old

3:26 pm

stidmama

I understand that entirely, LadyN -- of course, I am not big on travel, but... it would be nice to see some of these places just once

3:26 pm

nancethefan

I don't know if you would be interested, but i'm sure there would be a market for them.

3:27 pm

Atalante

I know, nance. When I get a few weeks spare, I'm going to try and get some designs taken up by a few of the major cross sticth companies. I'd rather do that than make up packs on my own

3:27 pm

LadyNatts

true, stid. I think I was a brit in a former life.... and perhaps an Egyptian in another.

3:27 pm

pugmama763

Good day / evening my fellow Babblers I'm off to finish the chores (sigh)If only homes were self cleaning.....

3:27 pm

Vicuna

That's a great idea, nance. I'm sure you're right.

3:28 pm

stidmama

have a great rest of your day pugmama!

Vicuna

Hello, Uni!

3:30 pm

LadyNatts

hi uniquity!

3:30 pm

nancethefan

atalante - your Lady of the Stars is beautiful - with the entire piece colored, it would make a beautiful needlepoint piece

3:30 pm

nancethefan

hey uniquity

3:30 pm

Uniquity

I was just following chat for the last few minutes...I am extremely envious of Ata's pictures. I have always been infatuated with England

3:30 pm

Kazozz

hi all, i have 2 left that i cannot find!! Can anyone help me with the un 6/27 or the 1st pa 5/14 please?

3:30 pm

LadyNatts

ata, I must say, you are extremely talented. do you make any living from your art?

3:30 pm

Atalante

I know ... I really must get round to sorting out some cross-stitch piees

3:31 pm

Vicuna

pa5/14 - some sort of Persian nobility, pa4/6 + vowel

3:31 pm

Vicuna

un6/27 - not injured

3:31 pm

Atalante

about 1/2 and 1/2, LadyN. I'm working towards the being a full-time artist. *crosses fingers*

3:31 pm

FMitch

Ata perhaps you and i should ut our heads together

3:31 pm

Vicuna

Don't ut them together too hard.

3:31 pm

Atalante

we should

3:31 pm

nancethefan

would you just create the grid for others to do the needlework?

3:31 pm

Kazozz

slap slap ty on the un clue

3:32 pm

nancethefan

FM - r u the one with a website?

3:32 pm

nancethefan

who has the quliting website?

3:32 pm

Atalante

I'm not sure, nance

3:32 pm

Kazozz

and thought i had tried that pa, but obviously not! fireworks for me, and many thanks for the help!

3:32 pm

nancethefan

sorry for all the chat, but this is exciting to me

3:32 pm

Vicuna

That's Fiber Art.

3:32 pm

Vicuna

http://www.joycecarey.com/

3:32 pm

FMitch

I am the One! but not with a website

3:33 pm

Vicuna

FM getting all messianic on us.

3:33 pm

LadyNatts

is that a word, vicuna?

3:33 pm

nancethefan

ty vic

3:33 pm

FMitch

well its better than me saying I am a one *grin*

3:33 pm

nancethefan

u are a quilter?

3:34 pm

FMitch

Ata I have a s/w prog that converts pics to grids

3:34 pm

Vicuna

sure, LadyN.

3:34 pm

FMitch

Me nance?

3:34 pm

Vicuna

I make quilts by way of a hobby, nance. I only give them away and never sell them.

3:34 pm

LadyNatts

it took me some time to figure it out, but I guess it is!

3:35 pm

Atalante

oooo those are fun, fm

3:35 pm

LadyNatts

I don't think I even know how to sew... though I did sew a few things back when I was pregnant with my now 18-y-o daughter.

3:36 pm

FMitch

yes its specific for cross stitch

3:36 pm

Atalante

I can't sew at all, except for cross-stitch

3:36 pm

Vicuna

I love the piecing, but don't care for the actual quilting. But as I'm too stingy and too much of a loner to send them out for someone else to quilt, I'm always stuck with the job in the end.

3:37 pm

Uniquity

I love cross-stitches

3:37 pm

nancethefan

Vic - do you quilt and carve?

3:38 pm

FMitch

I'd forgotten how stunning Caterbury Catheral is, want to see York Minster again now.

3:38 pm

LadyNatts

all the good talents skipped a generation in me... my mother is a gourmet cook, does petite pointe, hardinger embroidery (and heaven knows what other kind), quilting, and on and on... I didn't inherit a single talent!

3:38 pm

Atalante

the cathedral is just stunning. its amazing

3:38 pm

nancethefan

yes FM - are you a quilter?

3:38 pm

Vicuna

The block prints are my "professional" thing. The quilts are a hobby.

3:39 pm

Vicuna

LadyN, maybe you're the one born to Babble!

3:39 pm

LadyNatts

lol vicuna! I guess so. Words are best strength.

3:40 pm

Vicuna

The hobby I'm itching to dive into tomorrow is pysanky eggs. Has anyone ever tried those? They are really fun.

3:40 pm

FMitch

I've done a couple nance but prefer freehand embriodery on smaller pieces.

3:40 pm

LadyNatts

*my*

3:40 pm

FMitch

heads to google immediately

3:40 pm

LadyNatts

oh! vicuna... that's where I CAN lend you a hand...

3:41 pm

nancethefan

why are you running to google fm?

3:41 pm

LadyNatts

beeswax... elastic bands... eggs, of course....

3:41 pm

Vicuna

Goodness, LadyN! If you can do that, how dare you say you have no talents?!?

3:41 pm

FMitch

gosh they are beautiful

3:41 pm

LadyNatts

the elastic bands are to guide your lines

3:42 pm

FMitch

to look up pysanky eggs

3:42 pm

nancethefan

ok Lady - where i can i look at your artwork?

3:42 pm

Vicuna

I've done them for several years over at a friends house, but last year after Easter I bought my own stuff so I can do them whenever I want... In theory, at least...

3:42 pm

LadyNatts

I grew up making them, Vicuna. I even bought books to tell me what symbols to use.

3:42 pm

Vicuna

Still waiting for a day with a nice big block of time.

3:43 pm

Atalante

time? whats that?

3:43 pm

Vicuna

I don't pay much attention to the traditional symbols or colors. They're interesting to learn about, but I just base my designs purely on looks.

3:43 pm

LadyNatts

nance, I have no artwork to display. my daughter's artwork is on display (check my profile)

3:44 pm

Vicuna

Exactly, Ata. *sigh* But I have high hopes for tomorrow.

3:44 pm

LadyNatts

yes, but the history is so intriguing.. I always used to like adding a symbol or two, whether people noticed or not.

3:44 pm

nancethefan

which site do i look at the pysanky eggs & are they yours lady?

3:45 pm

FMitch

type it in google nance and it will bring up loads

3:45 pm

Atalante

google

3:45 pm

Vicuna

That would be fun, LadyN.

3:45 pm

redturtlehead

Just changed my icon...So I am checking it. It is actually one of the themes.

3:46 pm

nancethefan

3:49 pm

GroovyKiwi

nice to see all those i usually dont see at nightly flip :)

3:50 pm

Vicuna

Oh, yeah. We used to do projects with tearing up scraps of that and wetting them.

3:50 pm

FMitch

What a good idea Lady

3:50 pm

LadyNatts

as i recall, we'd put them in boiling water with a splash of vinegar.

3:50 pm

LadyNatts

throw the eggs in there after you've done your design, and voila

3:51 pm

Vicuna

Good idea.

3:52 pm

FMitch

and if all else fails turn into egg salad

3:52 pm

LadyNatts

and there is no end to the number of colours you can get from those

3:52 pm

72 Temple Owl

i've used onion skins - a german custome - lovely monochromatic look. You can hold leaves and such in place with nylon stockings and make lovely patterns

3:52 pm

3:54 pm

72 Temple Owl

3:54 pm

GroovyKiwi

4:04 pm

Atalante

4:04 pm

LadyNatts

grey means there are either no words with that letter or that you have found all the words with that letter...

4:05 pm

LadyNatts

also greyed on the word stats, meaning there are no words with that number of letters or that you have found all the words of that number of letters.

4:05 pm

Jindigo

Thanks much LadyNatts

4:05 pm

Wendy612

hello, peoples

4:57 pm

ylleria

i've got 18 left, but i don't think i have the energy/will to finisn the grid today :s

4:58 pm

KatieMcG

I gave up yesterday ylleria as I wasn't enjoying it

4:58 pm

Aussieme

71 to go for me...

4:58 pm

westford

hello bab

4:58 pm

ylleria

i've just had a crappy, crappy day, you know?

4:58 pm

mo

ylleria ... you can do it with our help!!!

4:58 pm

KatieMcG

What has gone wrong yll?

4:59 pm

BabbleRabble

crappy days may be quite moving

4:59 pm

ylleria

thanks, mo, but i think today is not the day for me to struggle on

4:59 pm

ylleria

i was in a car accident this morning, apparently i have whiplash :s

4:59 pm

ylleria

and a good friend ended up being referred by emergency appointment to a psychiatric hospital

5:00 pm

KatieMcG

Oh no yll, even without the whiplash it is really upsetting never mind being hurt, and bad news on your friend just hits you when you are down.

5:00 pm

BabbleRabble

So sorry, ylleria. Hope you get proper treatment and expeditious relief

5:00 pm

KatieMcG

Hopefully your friend will get the help they presumably need

5:01 pm

ylleria

i'll be fine, just a bit stiff and sore for a few days, i guess

5:01 pm

ylleria

yeah, my friend is actually quite positive about it now

5:01 pm

mo

oooh so sorry ...

5:01 pm

Aussieme

oh holy moley, thats not good ylleria.... I hope you get better soon, and try and keep the fsith for your friend....

5:01 pm

Aussieme

ooh, I meant faith...

5:01 pm

ylleria

he feels he might actually be able to get the help he needs now

5:02 pm

ylleria

thanks, aussie

5:02 pm

BabbleRabble

May your friend look back on today as the day his life got better

5:02 pm

Aussieme

well worded babRab...

5:02 pm

ylleria

i called him earlier and he seemed fairly positive, although very groggy

5:02 pm

KatieMcG

Sometimes accessing the help is the hardest thing. You hear so much about people who know they need it and want it but can't be taken seriously

5:02 pm

KatieMcG

Babble you do always know the right thing to say :-)

5:03 pm

ylleria

that's a lovely way to put it BabRab, thanks

5:03 pm

mo

yller ... sorry to be flipant ... didnt realise the seriousness of things ... hope everything turns out well.

5:04 pm

ylleria

oh, don't apologise mo, i'm a big fan of flippancy ;)

5:04 pm

mo

5:05 pm

JFB

Good wishes and prayers for you both from Cornwall ylleria

5:06 pm

ylleria

i'll be fine in a few days, and hopefully my friined is now on the right path to make things better for him, so really it's not that bad

dawg, I volunteer at our old library along with about 150 others, managing desk staff, shelvers and such. We need a new building. About a month ago we had a leak in the roof so you can probably imagine what happened! Thanks to the unpaid volunteers going up and beyond, plus one of our two pros (the other was sick at the time) all is back to normal now.

9:41 pm

jillibus

And now I must go and have some supper. Back afterwards. Sorry to interrupt the clueing

9:41 pm

9:46 pm

jillibus

Thanks to ht elocal grocery store (!) we didn't lose a lot of books. About 400 were soaked and stored in their freezer, which apparently dries them out. Then 400 boxes were filled with dry books, tapes and such while the library was dried out, and we had to wait for three days without rain until the roof could be repaired. That took a while -- rainy season on the Wet Coast. But now it's done, thank goodness, and all those boxes unpacked and back in place.

9:46 pm

Mom

that is wonderful news Jillibus.

9:47 pm

lil*monkey
