12:43 am

Douglas

We observe too great a stress
On the risks that on us press
And of reference a lack
To our chance of coming back
Still perhaps it would be wise
Not to ca4 or criticize
For it's very evident
These intentions are well-meant

12:45 am

dart001

90 down....and going slowwww

A tip of the hat to Gilbert and Sullivan's cowardly Sergeant for finding a word...

jillibus

12:54 am

Thazzy

4:56 am

herinfernallady

In the Mountians Bichon its 0.8 C so yes winter is here. Just turned the heating on to 30

herinfernallady

Yes evening.It gets cold as the sun sets. According to the B.fs dad we had 6 hours of sunshine about a week ago

4:57 am

bichon

30 is pretty warm for heat. We keep the house at about 20 in the winter

4:57 am

herinfernallady

The heater is a tad dodgy. We keep it at about 25 over night

4:59 am

bichon

We keep it a lot colder at night and sleep under down. I remember when the cost of heating a house was much less and we walked around the house in summer clothes

6:26 am

JBV

yes, carlee got it, sorry I did not explain well

6:26 am

MonkeyGames

Do you know the guy? If you don't I say send your husband.

6:26 am

carleekat

and if he wakes up..his problem for sleeping in wrong room

6:26 am

kje

I would go in and get what I needed and leave

6:26 am

carleekat

unless u don't know him..then wake up hubby

6:26 am

herinfernallady

lost here

6:26 am

LoriP

It's your room! Just go in and laugh it up to a funny story, which, sorry but, it is!

6:27 am

Uniquity

I would send the hubby...what if he sleeps nude? :O

6:27 am

JBV

Monkey, I think you hit on the problem, it's not a real good friend that I know and am comfortable with

6:27 am

joansiebone

he probably won't even hear u

6:27 am

carleekat

then get up hubby...

6:27 am

MonkeyGames

I would send your husband, he, Afetr all, it's his "fault".

6:27 am

LoriP

LOL Uni

6:28 am

JBV

hmm, differing opinions... my own inner voices

6:28 am

kje

would still just go get what you need - no big deal - if you peak in and he is inappropriately undressed...just back out -

6:28 am

LoriP

LOL not the voices! :)

6:28 am

Uniquity

JBV, I lived in a dorm last year...I had to go through rooms/bathrooms with so many girls (and their accompanying guys) that I am desensitized. He is in your house! Do what makes you comfortable!

6:28 am

carleekat

I think I hear lori <cackling>

6:29 am

Uniquity

If you don't want to wake up hubby, but want him out of the way, knock loudly and say you need to get a few things.

6:29 am

JBV

I'll let you know later what happened......... I'm deciding as I go upstairs right now....

6:29 am

LoriP

Not so much cackling, as giggling. I mean, it's not funny, but it's funny. Course, I'm a bull in a China Shop kinda' gal

6:30 am

Uniquity

Lori just loves waking people up. Trust me, I know.

6:30 am

LoriP

Let us know JBV, we'll start the betting pool...... :)

6:30 am

carleekat

knocks and walks for me

6:30 am

kje

6:31 am

joansiebone

herin - were you answering my question about theme of the day??

7:31 am

phaeton

I thought there was only a theme on Fridays?

7:31 am

MonkeyGames

I akready knew what the icon was, Herin. Didn't mean to not engage; jsut staring at words and getting on with other things. But I agree with your original premise that whoever the heck you're watching probably would not tresspass on a major Christian icon.

7:32 am

MonkeyGames

Who can clue some ho's? I've only found the 4 so far.

7:32 am

MonkeyGames

Oh, there's the 6...

7:32 am

Are the io5's related?

7:45 am

AsGreen

I've had one friend who's sister passed away this week, and another friend who had an aneyurism (I can never spell that) but who is going to be ok, eventually....and the rain...it's been a hellova week

7:46 am

Haz1558

io5 words differ only in the last letter

MonkeyGames

Thanks!

7:46 am

Mom

the highway project has been pushed to 2010, so we are hoping we can stay until then or at least until be can find something we are happy with.

7:46 am

Mom

We did Annie and they appraised it $9,000 higher than the state did

7:47 am

Mom

{Asgree}} so sorry

7:48 am

Uniquity

Well, I am glad you have a better appraisal and more time...maybe the market will boom by 2010 and will work out better.

7:48 am

lynxxx

exactly half way so a good time to leave - gooodnite everyone

7:48 am

AsGreen

in the end it's all ok...but just very depressing... I won tennis yesterday and then put on the brightest shirt I own and a big smile tacked to my gums (lol) and I'm in a better mood today!! :)

7:48 am

LadyNatts

7:49 am

Anniebrook

Mom, Hopefully you will get more for your home now..I feel terrible that you are forced to leave a home you love. You will find one that you can love too, I am sure

7:49 am

Mom

good night Lynxxx, pleasant dreams.

7:49 am

herinfernallady

Mom can they just turf you out under compulsory acquisition

7:49 am

Mom

Oh Uni, we can hope.

7:49 am

AsGreen

7:49 am

Mom

that is our plan, Annie.

7:49 am

ninight lynxx

7:50 am

Anniebrook

good game, green

7:50 am

Anniebrook

night lynxxxie

7:50 am

Mom

Yes, Herin, they can. If you don't come to terms with the state, they can take it by eminent (sp) domain

7:50 am

AsGreen

Mom, you'll make a new place a home too - and look back fondly on this one... and now that you have more time, you'll find something great!!

7:51 am

MonkeyGames

OK, going to go take a shower and putter. BBL, probably. Have fun, folks.

7:51 am

Mom

bye bye MonkeyGames

7:51 am

AsGreen

bye monkey....

7:51 am

AsGreen

I'm stalled at 24 - diving back in....may open list soon

7:51 am

Mom

this may sound hokey, but our home is the four of us, we just need a house to put it in.

7:52 am

Mom

thank you for the kind words, Asgreen

7:52 am

lexleeanne

I get that

7:52 am

lexleeanne

I just opened the list at 24

7:52 am

AsGreen

Mom - lol - I WAS going to say - "a house is just stuff" - you'll make a new home wherever you go! But I thought that was hokey too....so you got it!!

7:52 am

lexleeanne

go for it green

7:52 am

Anniebrook

Mom, not hokey at all..

7:52 am

AsGreen

lex, now I need to find at LEAST one more - lol

7:53 am

Mom

you all are so sweet. Thank you

7:53 am

lexleeanne

green - sorry you had a bad week - tramatic 6 years in Seattle are exactly why I have "rain issues"

7:53 am

AsGreen

ooh, 25! lol

7:53 am

herinfernallady

MMFPh to that MOM thats crap. If they are wanting to do that to your home fight for them to buy you the same type or better yet get land and move house

7:53 am

herinfernallady

move the house even

7:54 am

Scrabbler

Hello all. Another cold, rainy day here...but a summery weekend is coming!

7:54 am

carleekat

hi scrabs

7:54 am

AsGreen

hi Scrab - was just commenting on same!

7:54 am

Anniebrook

Hi Scrabbs!

7:54 am

Mom

Herin, that is what we are aiming for, a house. Land here is very expensive and to move the house it cost prohibitive

7:54 am

Uniquity

Herin, "the state" seizing houses has been a disturbing aspect of Canada and the USA for years. Modern day isn't nearly as bad as Africville in NS for example, but there is a long history of gross injustices.

7:55 am

Mom

good morning rainy Scrabbler from sunny KY (for a change)

7:55 am

AsGreen

scrab! I won yesterday!! 5-7, 6-3, 6-4

7:55 am

Scrabbler

Yahoo, Green!

7:56 am

Scrabbler

Do you play USTA League Tennis?

7:56 am

AsGreen

7:56 am

herinfernallady

Hi Scrabbler

7:57 am

Scrabbler

Bye Mom

Mom

herinfernallady

Uni they do it here thats why i asked. My parents were very smart when buying a house and tripple checked freeway routes. But sadly sometimes you just are darn unlucky in house spots

7:57 am

AsGreen

I'm looking into a tennis school/long weekend this summer while kiddos are at sleepaway camp

7:57 am

AsGreen

8:11 am

herinfernallady

It means: a massive wild ox,(genus), of southeastern Asia and the Malay Archipelago,

8:11 am

Scrabbler

This grid has too many vowels.

8:11 am

herinfernallady

That it does Scrabler

8:12 am

lexleeanne

well - thanks infernal - now I know exactly what is is because I have memorized all the genus'.......lololololol

8:12 am

lexleeanne

brb

8:12 am

Scrabbler

Yes, it was completely clear to me too, lex

8:12 am

herinfernallady

Thats cause you are a Genius?

8:14 am

herinfernallady

look if your going to mock me i just wont clue. I didn't know how to clue it and the reason i put in genus is the Genus actually names it in the genus/

8:14 am

Scrabbler

We are joking, herin.....I like definitions.

8:15 am

herinfernallady

mmfph

8:15 am

Judi

Morning, all. Uh oh. I see a nose out of joint.

8:15 am

MonkeyGames

Hi again folks. Oh, hi Scrabbler!

8:15 am

Scrabbler

And I just monkeyed it finally. **entering the word in my Babble Barin Databank**

8:15 am

herinfernallady

Hi Judi

8:15 am

Uniquity

Herin, please calm down. This is the third time today I have seen a 'misunderstanding' get blown out of proportion and turned into a theoretical attack.

8:15 am

Scrabbler

Hi Judi + MG

8:16 am

FMitch

Hi Judi

8:16 am

evanonut

morning allsies

8:16 am

herinfernallady

From me Uni?

8:16 am

herinfernallady

Hi Nuttie

8:16 am

Scrabbler

Hi Nutter

8:16 am

Judi

Genus? I thought she said "penis". Is my mind in the gutter or what?

8:16 am

evanonut

hope todays is nicer then yesterdays

8:17 am

Scrabbler

No, Nut---too many vowels.

8:17 am

evanonut

hmmm....yesterdays wasn't fun to play with

8:17 am

FMitch

Hi Nut, it's smaller which is good but thats about it.

8:17 am

Scrabbler

Hi FM

8:18 am

herinfernallady

Nutie Yesterdays grid bit back

8:18 am

FMitch

hello Scrabber :)

8:18 am

Judi

I gave up on yesterdays. I was vanquished by vowels.

8:18 am

evanonut

i like the word vanquish

8:18 am

Scrabbler

I commend anyone that finished yesterday's grid. I just could not "see" words in that grid and struggled to get 1/3 done before + after work.

8:19 am

evanonut

i also like the word peruse

8:19 am

MonkeyGames

Scrabbler, several people at school were trying to tell me that coca cola will help a UTI clear up. I thought caffeine and sugar were bad. If it's just the acidity I've been taking extra vit C. What do you know about this cola assertion?

8:19 am

Scrabbler

I like the word "serendipity".

8:20 am

evanonut

cranberry juice monkey

8:20 am

evanonut

thats a good one too scrabs

8:20 am

MonkeyGames

Yup, have that. Liters of it.

8:20 am

Judi

UTI: lots of water and cranberry supplements.

8:20 am

Scrabbler

MG, I think any fluid is good---just making lots of pee and flushing out the bladder frequently is good.

8:20 am

Anniebrook

MG drink tons of water

8:21 am

Scrabbler

Hi Annie

8:21 am

Anniebrook

Hi Scrabbs!

8:21 am

herinfernallady

Oh yes coke is brillant for upsetting your body sugars. Lots of Cranberries juice and pills

8:22 am

MonkeyGames

OK. Yup, just been pouring back the water and cran juice. Had to go to the speed post last night for it, darn it. When I was younger they tended to clear up on their own, bu tthis got so bad so fast I called teh advice post and tehy said go in and get antibiotics.

8:22 am

herinfernallady

Also make sure the UTI isn't an STD

8:22 am

Judi

I've never heard the Coke thing. I would think it would be wiser to avoid sugary/acidy liquids.

8:22 am

EvaNadine

mornin babblers!

8:22 am

MonkeyGames

Thanks all! And thanks, Herin and Judi, that's what I thought too.

8:22 am

evanonut

lolols fernal

8:22 am

Scrabbler

Hi Eva

8:22 am

Anniebrook

MG, antibiotics should clear it up quickle

8:22 am

MonkeyGames

STD it ain't. Both parties monogamous for 16 years.

8:23 am

evanonut

morning eva

8:23 am

Anniebrook

*quickly

8:23 am

Anniebrook

Hi nutty and EvaN

8:23 am

MonkeyGames

Hope so. Had to skip the second half of school today. The final is about interviewing troubled clients so I had to be there for that half.

8:23 am

evanonut

hi annie

8:23 am

MonkeyGames

Awful chairs there.

8:24 am

Scrabbler

with 80 to go I must have breakfast and get ready for another day with Boss Richard Head who is being quite a little problem child this week.

8:24 am

herinfernallady

By that i mean get them to see a doc. A quick pee in a cup with a stick is a good idea. I can't believe im actually speaking about this

8:24 am

FMitch

Neither can we

8:24 am

EvaNadine

is it friday yet??

8:25 am

Judi

Morning, Eva. Almost!

8:25 am

Scrabbler

Hey, UTIs are common in females, herin--I think we have all suffered with at least one.

8:25 am

FMitch

Hope yo uavhe a good day inspite of him Scrabbler

8:25 am

herinfernallady

Well someone asked so i told

8:25 am

Scrabbler

Hahaha, FM!

8:25 am

MonkeyGames

Them who? Anyway, it isn't that type of infection but they tooka sample for cultures and all anyway so anything and everything there will turn up.

8:25 am

EvaNadine

i was "working from home" yesterday, and this week STILL seems long!

8:25 am

evanonut

yeah, i'd get them all the time, then the dr told me to STOP holding it

8:25 am

FMitch

If someone said go away, would you?

8:26 am

Scrabbler

That is my problem, Nut--last year I had 3 within a few months---holding it in too long when busy at work worshipping my boss.

8:26 am

herinfernallady

Excuse me Fmitch I have as much right to be here as you. I ignore you and so thus ignore me be a grown up would you and not being five.

8:26 am

evanonut

welp, i quit holding it and got over my public bathroom phobia...mostlyl

8:27 am

Scrabbler

Enjoy the day everyone!

8:27 am

herinfernallady

Nut what exactly are you holding or don't i want to know

8:27 am

herinfernallady

Later Scrabbler

8:27 am

Anniebrook

bye, scrabbs..try to have a good day despite Dr. R. Head

8:27 am

Judi

Hmm. Too much stress can bring them on too, I'm told. I used to get them fairly frequently. Then I rid myself of the lawyers I worked for and, voila! No more STIs.

8:27 am

evanonut

my pee of course fernal

8:27 am

MonkeyGames

I wonder if that's what did it. I have in the past couple of weeks engaged in no activity that usually brings 'em on. But I was so busy with school work at my apprenticeship place Monday I didn't get up and go as often as I should have by any means.

8:27 am

MonkeyGames

Anyway, bye Scrabbler!

8:28 am

evanonut

i bet monkey...unless your (excuse this) wiping back to front

8:28 am

herinfernallady

Monkey how is little monkey?

8:28 am

MonkeyGames

Stress. Ah. Of oucrse. I've been getting more flu's and everything for months, doctor is sure it's related to working and getting a degree at a school in a foreign language and raising a kid...

8:28 am

Judi

Okay, time to change the subject! LOL.

8:29 am

MonkeyGames

Thought of that Evan but careful about that. Herin, Walter will be 4 in September.

8:29 am

MonkeyGames

Scary: they start public school here at 4. It goes so FAST!

8:29 am

MonkeyGames

So are there anywords that use the g except the g word?

8:29 am

herinfernallady

Nor He is going to look so cute in his uniform

8:30 am

evanonut

now walter is a good name!

8:30 am

LoriP

G'd morning again Babblers. I see the word fairy didn't come and enter my remaining 90 words while I was gone.....

8:30 am

Judi

I got the one "g" word, but I keep getting drawn to the G like there should be more.

8:30 am

MonkeyGames

They don't wear uniforms here. But yes, he sure would!

8:30 am

herinfernallady

Ok

8:30 am

evanonut

ok, gotta get the hubber dressed, laters

8:30 am

8:30 am

LoriP

Hi nut. Bye nut......

8:31 am

MonkeyGames

He's named after his great-grandfather. He has Alzheimers, so we thought it would be something we could do for him that would mean a whole lot to him while things stoill can.

8:31 am

lexleeanne

C'mon now Uni, everybody loves awkward moments. Have I mentioned I have 22 words? ***perhaps I should look at the grid, that might help***

8:46 am

EvaNadine

8:54 am

MonkeyGames

Like a long fish with an extra internal vowel.

8:54 am

Anniebrook

Evan--put a vowel in the middle of the fish

8:54 am

Uniquity

Oh thank heavens, am done!

8:54 am

MonkeyGames

Not the squiggly fish type, the one with the big mouth.

8:54 am

MonkeyGames

YAYYYYY UNI!!!

8:56 am

MonkeyGames

Thanks, Herin!

8:56 am

herinfernallady

sor right

8:57 am

EvaNadine

8:57 am

MonkeyGames

That'sa species name for heather, or I miss my guess.

8:57 am

herinfernallady

Its an ox Eva

8:57 am

herinfernallady

or Large Asian ox

8:57 am

FMitch

e + strange light around the body minus last letter.

8:57 am

Anniebrook

ga + it's yo** turn

8:57 am

MonkeyGames

Fish. Three letters, starts with G. Pike is one kind of 'em. Then insert a vowel before the first vowel.

8:58 am

FMitch

mmm pike

8:58 am

MonkeyGames

Barracuda's another kind, also tasty.

8:59 am

FMitch

Never been in a position to try that but have heard it is good too.

8:59 am

EvaNadine

still never figured out the clue (since i know nothing of fish) but i noodled it...
thanks all!

8:59 am

MonkeyGames

Wrap it in foil with garlic and butter and toss it into coals.

9:00 am

FMitch

I love any recipe that start with garlic and butter :)

9:00 am

MonkeyGames

Well, but, who doesn't?

9:01 am

MonkeyGames

I made a Greek sauce last night to go with souvlaki. I'll bet you'd like it.

9:01 am

FMitch

yup true!

9:01 am

herinfernallady

Monkey did your spices dish go well?

9:01 am

LoriP

***my god, this grid has spewing profanity the likes of which have not been seen since yesterday....***

9:01 am

FMitch

oh go on make our mouths water ....

9:02 am

MonkeyGames

2 med. potatoes, boiled and mashed and cooled. Add 1/2 cup olive oil and 1/3 cup white vinegar. Add about 25 or so garlic cloves. Blend to sauce.

9:02 am

MonkeyGames

Oh, and salt and black pepper. Serve as sauce for grilled meats.

9:02 am

MonkeyGames

Raw garlic, of course.

9:03 am

FMitch

I am copying that down, sounds great!!

9:03 am

harpjane

ooh goodie, profanity! that might wake me up!

9:04 am

EvaNadine

is that garlic mashed potatoes?
or potato mashed garlic?
heh

9:04 am

MonkeyGames

It was REALLY nice. Tonight what with feeling poorly and all I'm just going to toss a couple of steaks on the grill and make up some masala potatoes.

9:04 am

herinfernallady

were's the profanity in the grid?

9:04 am

herinfernallady

yummy Monkey

9:04 am

Jandel

good morning that's a lot of garlic!

9:04 am

herinfernallady

Hi Jandel

9:04 am

MonkeyGames

I don't see it eaither, Herin, but not for lack of looking...

9:04 am

MonkeyGames

Yes, the sauce was a hair shocking. But wirth it.

9:05 am

herinfernallady

Spicy then?

9:05 am

KatieMcG

Hello, is today's grid any nicer?

9:05 am

LoriP

ahh, the typist omitted the word "me" spewing profanity. ***beats typist harshly***

9:05 am

FMitch

For those that like garlic try stuffing a chicken with whole cloves, as many as the cavity will take and then roast as usual.

9:05 am

LoriP

G'd morning Jandel

9:05 am

EvaNadine

no, its not. back away slowly, so as not to provoke it...

9:05 am

herinfernallady

Hello Mrs Katie

9:05 am

harpjane

lol lori

9:06 am

FMitch

Hi Katie, harp and Jandel

9:06 am

MonkeyGames

FMitch, that is GREAT, but even better is to add butter to the garlic, take all the bones out of the main part of the chicken, and seal it up before roasting.

9:06 am

LoriP

G'd morning harp, Mrs Katie... :)

9:07 am

FMitch

LOL I love your cooking style Monkey

9:07 am

KatieMcG

Oh Eva not two days in a row!! I gave up yesterday as it was just miserable

9:07 am

MonkeyGames

Who's got a good sage recipe? I have a shrub that needs to be reminded it works FOR mankind. LOTS of sage needs harvesting.

9:07 am

Jandel

Grid not as easy as it first looked

9:07 am

Grid, to put it nicely, really quite sucks.

9:07 am

sprite

good afternoon all

9:08 am

LoriP

It's evil, this grid has 3 6's hidden somewhere, I'm sure

9:08 am

MonkeyGames

Sprite! Hullo!!

9:09 am

elder

good afternoon/ morning everyone...thank goodness the sun is smiling here ..

9:09 am

MonkeyGames

Hello!

9:09 am

FMitch

Hi elder

9:09 am

sprite

they talk of rain, MonkeyG, but only as a possibility. You might be ok. Do you have a big parasol or something like that in case of panic?

9:09 am

sprite

hi elder

9:10 am

LoriP

G'd morning sprite, elder. ***Uni's a comedienne today...***

9:10 am

MonkeyGames

There's teh roll-out sun shade but I'm not sure that's supposed to get wet.

9:10 am

EvaNadine

hints for the Left-hand A?

9:11 am

elder

FMitch, hello, just read joke made me giggle...LOL

9:11 am

sprite

I can use a good laugh. Didn't sleep one wink last night. Went to bed this afternoon and slept for 3 hours, so am a little less zombielike now.

9:11 am

MonkeyGames

You OK? Just insomnia?

9:11 am

MonkeyGames

I didn't sleep either but that was mostly to do with going to the spoedpost about a UTI.

9:11 am

FMitch

*grin* elder
Sorry EvaN haven't got either of them

9:11 am

elder

Sprite sorry to hear you have not had much sleep - its awful .. how is your husband today ...

9:12 am

sprite

yeah, worries and hormones, I think. Am into menopause, and hubby has a burnout/breakdown, so not surprising I guess.

9:12 am

Vicuna

both ar5/12's

9:12 am

Vicuna

One is passion, the other ends like robor

9:12 am

Vicuna

*robot

9:12 am

LoriP

G'd morning Vic!

9:12 am

sprite

my husband is my big love, but having him home all day asking attention is kinda tough on me, lol. We need to find ways to make it work, me and him both at home with depression and burnout problems.

9:12 am

MonkeyGames

Oh dear. I understand. Well, hang in there! House and Heroes are on tonight.... always a good lineup...

9:13 am

herinfernallady

HI Sprite and Elder and Vicuna

9:13 am

MonkeyGames

Take teh mind off things, I mean.

9:13 am

elder

Passion where is it nowadays ??

9:13 am

EvaNadine

thanks vic!

9:13 am

beautiful clues, Vic, thanks and hi

9:13 am

FMitch

Morning billygoart Vi

9:13 am

Vicuna

It's off the left-hand A, elder! lol

9:13 am

Vicuna

Hello, all.

9:13 am

sprite

hehehe MonkeyG, I never watch series on tv, I am too impatient. I wait until I can download or buy the whole series and then I watch!

9:14 am

elder

Vic, LOL

9:14 am

EvaNadine

hows about that bottom i?

9:14 am

sprite

lol Vic

9:14 am

Vicuna

I know, FM, I should be a fire engine today. But the closest I have is a bulldozer! =)

9:14 am

MonkeyGames

Well, watch these! You need to see House in order though or you'll have no idea what's going on in season 4. The post writer's strike season finale double episode was just amazing.

9:14 am

FMitch

Not'n wrong with the goat :)

9:15 am

sprite

ok, I am putting House on my to see list then! Heroes is one I wanted already. Am watching Millennium atm... anyone remember that series?

9:15 am

Vicuna

ir6/24 - if it ended in -escent it would mean rainbow-colored like an oil slick, but instead it ends with a short adj ending

9:15 am

MonkeyGames

Haven't seen that one.

9:16 am

sprite

again a lovely clue, Vic, thanks for making my start so easy :D

9:16 am

elder

Herin, did you do the restoration on the fire engine ?? and how did you get from the UK to Australia .. costly ...

9:16 am

Vicuna

You're most welcome.

9:16 am

EvaNadine

thanks again vic!

9:16 am

sprite

did I miss lady or is she not chatting?

9:16 am

EvaNadine

so, the last tile i have no words from is the lower i in the center column...

9:17 am

LoriP

The rh 6 almost pushed me off the edge. This grid is poopy

9:17 am

MonkeyGames

She WAS here...

9:17 am

Vicuna

9:17 am

FMitch

9:20 am

sprite

any mums here? Is it normal for a 10 yo girl to lie to try and escape problems? Even if we have very strict rules about lying being worse than any other thing?

9:21 am

Haz1558

Good afternoon all!

9:21 am

FMitch

Afternoon Haz

9:21 am

Vicuna

Sprite, it's quite common, but I think the real question is whether or not this is normal behavior for this particular girl.

9:21 am

sprite

hi Haz! George is smiling at me from the livingroom table this week!

9:21 am

elder

Yes Sprite, its all part of learning ../Development, testing boundaries etc etc

9:21 am

Vicuna

Hello, Haz!

9:22 am

elder

hello Haz.

9:22 am

LoriP

My previously 10 year old, now 19 is around here somewhere. She may have some insight.....

9:22 am

LoriP

We all have escape hatches.

9:22 am

LoriP

Oh, and g'd morning Haz

9:22 am

herinfernallady

Sprite i am here. I just had to feed kity

9:23 am

sprite

she keeps forgetting to call home if she is lunching at a friend's, or playing. And then she lies about having called, but us not picking up the phone. So I said: why not leave a message then? And she went all teary and we knew she was lying, and after a while she confessed.

9:23 am

Haz1558

Greetings all.

9:23 am

sprite

hi lady *hug*

9:23 am

Vicuna

That sounds more annoying and frustrating than disastrous, sprite.

9:23 am

LoriP

boundary testing. SO common. Be consistent,a nd have results for violating the rules.

9:24 am

LoriP

Safety is not negotiable IMO

9:24 am

sprite

thanks guys. I was worried, don't want to have a member of our family lying... trust is so important. Ok, punishment for both lying and not informing us of her whereabouts.

9:24 am

LoriP

Only my 2 cents, now that I've killed chat......

9:24 am

herinfernallady

Just let her know that the reason you would like a call is common courtisey (excuse spelling) and that you would respect that she tells you were she is incase there is a need to contact her of have you be contacted

9:25 am

sprite

I agree, Lori!

9:25 am

elder

Sprite don't be too alarmed, the family values will be there and keep here in good stead when she is older. When they are playing they forget too wrapped up in what they are doing and then they feel bad for not contacting you , they just want to get it right, but sometimes they just do it wrong ..

9:25 am

sprite

she knows all that, lady.

9:25 am

sprite

thanks elder, and all, you have made me much less worried :)

9:26 am

herinfernallady

I remember the groundings i got if i didn't tell my parents where and whom i was with

9:26 am

LoriP

I wish uni was here. She still does it, we insist on knowing where they are, and that they're going to be where they say they're going to be. Safety cannot be emphasized enough, and trusting her/him to call, is so important

9:26 am

Vicuna

At ten she is probably lying because she wants to please you and doesn't want to disappoint you, rather than because she wants to hide things from you.

9:27 am

elder

concur with that Vic.

9:27 am

LoriP

At that age, Vic knows. Again, just be consistent, with whatever your house rules are. They want to know the expectations are still there.

9:27 am

LoriP

Vic is wise.

9:27 am

sprite

ok, I can handle that, Vic. Lady: yes, she is gonna be grounded!
Lori: I explained to her a 1000 times, that if something would be wrong, she would want us to look for her right away. So in order to know if something is wrong, we NEED to know where she is.

9:28 am

herinfernallady

Sprite hun does she have access to a phone like a phone card or a home calling number?

9:28 am

LoriP

Exactly sprite, you've answered your own question. :-)

9:28 am

sprite

she can call from each friend's house. All the parents allow that.

9:29 am

elder

Sprite, don't mean to make you feel worse but ... wait till adolescence arrives, its like they have been over taken by aliens or the the devil. ...

9:29 am

sprite

Lori: how?? I know what I explained to her... I just was worried about her lying!

9:29 am

EvaNadine

ill be honest -- when i was 10 + i got caught doing something i know i wasnt supposed to do, i lied my FACE off!

9:29 am

LoriP

An older child may have more leeway, but 10 is very young in terms of naivete of the lesser elements of the world.

9:30 am

sprite

lol EvaN... and you still turned out an ok person, right?

9:30 am

EvaNadine

i like to think so....!

9:30 am

EvaNadine

i think it was self-preservation....who wants to get in trouble?

9:30 am

herinfernallady

Ok. So she has no excuse. Can you ask her why she felt the need to lie. Use feelings. Like It makes me cross and worried when i don't know where you are. Why do you feel you can't call me? Do you think that its embarrising to ring your mum? That kinda thing.

9:30 am

FMitch

I could never lie, I could try but I always blushed so i never got away with it.

9:30 am

sprite

my son will be 12 this weekend and he still has to call home as well. It is fine with me if they wanna play, no problem. I just want to know where they are.

9:30 am

LoriP

LOL EVa? I'm shocked. Shirley not you. :) sprite, I'm simply saying that you seem to feel the message hasn't sunk in, so you must address it.

9:31 am

sprite

thanks lady, will do that. :)

9:31 am

Vicuna

Ah, the wonders of the chat word, FM. Here you can lie like a rug and we'll never know you're blushing.

9:31 am

EvaNadine

i was the good kid, so either my parents really believed me, or else what i did was so little in comparison with what my brother did, they just decided to let it go....heh

9:31 am

elder

Herin, i think she just forgets ...

9:31 am

LoriP

I lied like a rug on so many occasions, and got busted every time. Gave up on it shortly thereafter..... :-)

9:31 am

FMitch

*grin*

9:32 am

sprite

ah, ok Lori, true. Am going to do so now then... hubby is home from shopping, time to talk. Back later, guys, and thanks for helping me through another parental hiccup.

9:32 am

elder

My Mother as mothers do - could read me better than a book..lol

9:32 am

Vicuna

All shall be well, sprite.

9:32 am

EvaNadine

i often forgot to call home...i knew my mom wanted me to, but sometimes time would get away from me + id just forget...

9:32 am

herinfernallady

mmmmm maybe you need to ask her if she forgets can the parent that shes with kindly remind her.

9:32 am

LoriP

Good luck sprite, take care.

9:32 am

herinfernallady

I only ever lied to my parents once. I was about 17 and i burnt a hole in the carpet. I said it was cat puke.

9:33 am

EvaNadine

either i mustve been really good, or else my parents didnt really care -- i always got away with it...heh

9:33 am

elder

yes.. thats an option

9:33 am

elder

LOL ....

9:34 am

herinfernallady

,

9:34 am

elder

right, focus on the grid.. or maybe cup of coffee/tea..

9:34 am

LoriP

LOL Eva

9:34 am

LoriP

Grid? What grid? I STILL have 57 left....***sigh***

9:34 am

FMitch

ooooo cup of teaaa :)

9:35 am

herinfernallady

These days Sprite i just don't tell them what the don't need to hear. I am sure they wanted to return me at some stage during my teens (always told them that i had a 30 day guarentee)

9:36 am

elder

FMitch, my treat any preference ... will put kettle on..

9:36 am

EvaNadine

LoriP

Good lord, what deep dark cave did these words come from. Oy vey.

9:39 am

I assumed it had to do with lost cities of gold, and such.

9:39 am

FMitch

According to the link its and yes thats what I thought too!

Well, I hope it and the inia will be good friends.

FMitch

Thanks elder, lovely bics

9:49 am

YW

9:49 am

Needless to say, Dad was really mad and got a little carried away on that one. My brother and I still laugh about it. I forgot what my brother did - but he did some pretty heinous things when he was a teen.

9:51 am

sprite

I sometimes tend to worry too much. People keep telling me our kids are great, have a firm foundation and will be fine. And then I look at the world with all the crime and drugs and sh*t and I think, omg....

9:51 am

once, my brother fell asleep with gum in his mouth + woke up with gum in his hair....
my mother punished him by saying he couldnt chew gum again until he was 35.

9:52 am

EvaNadine

i guess, technically, hes still grounded!

9:52 am

AsGreen

oooh, ok, I'll go look, then focus on grid

9:52 am

sprite

lol EvaN, lovely

9:53 am

elder

Sprite, as a parent you can only do your best for your children and they will reward you in ways not always so obvious now.

9:53 am

Judi

Lol. That's pretty good, Eva. Although, gum in the hair seems to be punishment enough. My father would have made us walk around with it stuck there and not let us cut it out. Fortunately, never happened to us.

9:53 am

sprite

yeah, I guess, Judi. Still, kids are out of control here as well. I must trust my kids, I know, but it IS scary nowadays.

9:53 am

EvaNadine

my father was very different....
he once grounded my bother + said he couldnt ride his bike for 2 weeks.
a few days later he gets a call from a neighbor letting him know that my brother has an accident...he was ok, but at the hospital.....

9:53 am

sprite

oh dear, EvaN!

9:54 am

Judi

Test, then trust, Sprite. Best to make them earn it.

9:54 am

EvaNadine

so dad goes to the hospital (as an aside, my mom was in the bed next to my brother because she saw blood + passed out)
when my dad asked my brother what happened, he said "i was riding johns boke + i hit something in the street and fell off + had to get stitches in my chin!"
of course, my dad says "aret you grounded? youre not allowed to ride your bike!"

9:54 am

sprite

good one, Judi. Thanks.

9:54 am

EvaNadine

and of course, my brother points out very quickly that he wasnt riding his bike -- he was riding JOHNS bike!

9:55 am

SamanthaJoy

*headdesk* How did this go over with your father?

9:55 am

sprite

omg EvaN... hilarious, in a way. Was you dad mad?

9:55 am

kje

LOL eva!

9:55 am

EvaNadine

my dad, being the kind of person that he was said "well, i never said he couldnt ride johns bike!"

9:55 am

Judi

Ah, the old bike loophole. Clever, albeit painful.

9:55 am

elder

Eva, i think most of us have done that in some form or another, when little and trying to blow bubble gum bubbles i covered nearly my whole head of hair, no punishment from Mother it was enough, when she then tried to get it all out of hair ,eventually needing to cut bits of hair off... horrendous ..

9:55 am

SamanthaJoy

LMAO

9:57 am

EvaNadine

i think dad pretty much figured that stitched (and the wrath that would accompany my mothers return to consciousness) was punishment enough....
heh

9:57 am

Vicuna

My dad had a habit of hiding his illicit gum behind his ear ... Then once he forgot about it and went off to camp with it still there... and came back with a big infection behind his ear. Ewww.

9:58 am

EvaNadine

EWIE.

9:59 am

Vicuna

Apparently youthful gum episodes are just too horrifying for this chat! lol

9:59 am

sprite

argh Vic! Ewwww!

9:59 am

EvaNadine

9:59 am

FMitch

I was just contemplating how gluey the gum must ahve been to stick there

10:00 am

Hey, Vic... don't let the Taliban see those poppies.

AsGreen

10:04 am

Of those whose hearts are filled with greed
Who rob and steal from those who need

Mr. trouble never hangs around,
When he hears this Mighty sound,

Here I come to save the day!

Mighty Mouse will join the fight!

On the sea or on the land,
He's got the situation well in hand!

There's a small German town near Munich called Pfilzerplatz, and the town is renowned for producing fine stationery. Anyway, Munich had a problem -- the thousands of stray dogs in the city were breeding with one another and overrunning the city. So the people of Munich banded together and ran the dogs out of the city. Unfortunately, the dogs appeared in Pfilzerplatz. The dogs took over everything, and the mayor decided to evacuate the town. The paper mills were shut down, and everyone left.

But a couple days later, the townsfolk, watching their town from the hills, saw smoke rising from the smokestacks. They knew no humans were left in the town, so they concluded that the dogs had learned to operate the factories.

The mayor hurried to Munich's town hall and pleaded, "You've got to help us! The mills are alive with the hounds of Munich!"

A babble story:
Once upon a time two ac5 fell into a vat of ur4 ac4 causing quite an up6. The od4 was ho6. For a pe6 of time, we ca4’ed about the di4 event, although it could have been di5. One of the ac6 mites was a real do4, some would say, with ar5, the other was a dr4. The smell was ri4, and got ri5 as more time elapsed. Somethin had to be done or a ri4 would break out.

Pe8 ca4 of the building and surrounding ra5 to keep it pu4 would pr4 us to turn off the ra5, get the cleaner material we would ho5, put it in a ca7, and da4 around like maniacs cleaning the place and making it pu5. We were located in an ar4 pr7. There were ci5 clouds overhead. The ro4 of automobiles on the nearby ro4 was an au5 blast causing to6 if one were an id5 and were to tr4 outside. The winds were to6 and pr5 to going out, we would put in earplugs to prevent the au5 ra4 of noise.

The day of the accident, there was an ar4 playing on the ra5. Jim, a chronic ca6, was eating a ca6. A to4 hopped by chasing the mites and caused the accident.

12:22 pm

Jellen

Tim and I were Babbling together earlier...

12:22 pm

FMitch

My question exactly!

12:22 pm

Vicuna

In MO or in OK?

12:23 pm

Jellen

In Oklahoma

12:23 pm

Jellen

We are really us, Vicuna!

12:23 pm

FMitch

LOL Babbling together, I trust there was a chaperone in attendance?

12:23 pm

ajv74

I have seen Oklahoma in a summer theatre.

12:23 pm

Vicuna

And is Tim a new Babble addict inveigled into this den of misery by you?

12:24 pm

Jellen

Do the cats count as chaperones?

12:24 pm

FMitch

either that or she has been assimilated by the Borg

12:24 pm

Jellen

Yes, Tim is a new addict.

12:24 pm

Vicuna

Depends. Will the cats step in if you enter too many inappropriate words?

12:25 pm

Vicuna

I see that he's a new addict. The question is whether you are the one who addicted him.

12:25 pm

FMitch

BRB

12:25 pm

Jellen

lol, Vicuna. Only one of my cats can read.

12:25 pm

Atalante

your imagination ;)

12:50 pm

FMitch

Hi Norina, no we are just having a few toughies at the moment.

12:50 pm

Jellen

Norina

12:51 pm

Atalante

so I shouldn't start this one/?!

12:52 pm

bichon

hi, anyone have a hint/clue for the first pr7/32?

12:52 pm

FMitch

You'll probably nod off in the middle of it, depending where you are at with jet lag.

12:52 pm

Norina

I am trying to do it at work and am distracted by the fear of someone walking up behind me, so really, go ahead. it will be easier for you!

12:52 pm

Haz1558

Hello EvaN.

1:00 pm

EvaNadine

1:00 pm

BzznBea

Lovely. Or so my hubby says.

1:00 pm

FMitch

Good time cait?

1:00 pm

Haz1558

I was on a bit earlier in the afternoon but made a strategic retreat. I'll have to wind back to see what I missed.

1:01 pm

Atalante

how's spangle? I picked up Hobbit earlier from the spaniel kennels and saw soooo many gorgeous springers

1:01 pm

lshult

Hi guys, I'm missing a 7, got pe7x2, pi7x2, pr7, up7 & ca7?

1:01 pm

EvaNadine

i was hiding in the shadows this morning...
there seemed to be some...tension in the chatlog...

1:01 pm

caitlyn

Im very proud of myself 6 hours plus without a ciggie because of flying and I only killed 2 air hostesses!

1:01 pm

Haz1558

Spangle is very well.

1:02 pm

caitlyn

Hi Ishult!

1:02 pm

Haz1558

Only 2? The pilot escaped injury I hope.

1:02 pm

Jellen

Hi Ishult

1:02 pm

BzznBea

There are three pe7

1:02 pm

Haz1558

Tension in the Chatlog. That would be a good title for a book, or a play....

1:02 pm

FMitch

Good going cait did you light up at the earliest opportunity after landing?

1:02 pm

Uniquity

Might be an understatement though.

1:02 pm

caitlyn

I had to leave him alone Im nervous enough of flying LOL

1:02 pm

bichon

Ishult, is that a picture of your kibbutz. Where exactly is it?

1:03 pm

caitlyn

Oh yes FM

1:03 pm

lshult

ive got pe7/55x2

1:03 pm

Haz1558

Hello Uniquity! Still in one piece?

1:03 pm

caitlyn

Can anyone say what the tension was about?

1:03 pm

lshult

bichon, yes it is.....its in the south near Eilat

1:04 pm

caitlyn

Hi Uni, how are you?

1:04 pm

Uniquity

Hmm...a question to any smokers on here. Not knowing someone (ie - a babbler) does it sort ofwork it's way into your head subconsciously that "must be" or aren't smokers? As a non-smoker I always assume others don't smoke as well, wondered if it worked in reverse too.

1:04 pm

BzznBea

pe7/40. pe7/36x2

1:04 pm

Jellen

Hi, Uni

1:04 pm

Haz1558

I haven't read back yet but I made my strategic withdrawal for the usual reason, cait.

1:04 pm

EvaNadine

i have the Pi7 that kind a sounds like a dessert gone bad -- whats the other?

1:04 pm

BzznBea

It's pe8/55x2

1:05 pm

lshult

it's the pe7/40 that I'm missing?

1:05 pm

Uniquity

That was missing a word or two...Hi all, I am well. Dr's appt in 2 hours, boooring. (Regular stuff, no worries).

1:05 pm

BzznBea

That's the first pe.

1:05 pm

redphoenix

I don't think that it does...i.e. I don't assume that someone is a smoker

1:05 pm

FMitch

I'd try and answer that question Uni but I can't make it make sense

1:05 pm

Haz1558

Oh come on, Uniquity. You might at least have some interesting ailment.

1:05 pm

caitlyn

LOL FM I was just thinking the same

1:06 pm

Atalante

uniiiiiiiiiiiii

1:06 pm

Uniquity

I know FM...the little chatterbox space is not big enough for me to see what I wrote and make sure it makes sense :(

1:06 pm

Haz1558

pe7/40 - latin through, opposite of alkaline

1:06 pm

Jellen

There is only one pi7

1:06 pm

Atalante

what she meant was - do smokers automatically assume everyone smokes. like non-smokers always assume they are "talking" to non-smokers

1:06 pm

Atalante

I think

1:06 pm

Uniquity

Well, if it would make you feel better Haz I could turn out to have cancer, but I wouldn't be impressed.

1:06 pm

caitlyn

When did you get home Ata?

1:06 pm

lshult

got it, still 32 words to find tho

1:07 pm

Haz1558

No, I said interesting. Like when Atalante had to have a blob removed from her back and I thought she said she was having a boob removed from her back.

1:07 pm

Uniquity

Ata is my mouthpiece from now on. She makes more sense.

1:07 pm

hurshy

lol

1:07 pm

danf63

Uni...no I don't assume other people smoke. In fact, most of the time when I find out someone smokes, it comes as a surprise to me that THEY smoke.

1:07 pm

FMitch

Ahh, answering Atas interpretation no you don't assume everyone smokes but you can tell if you are face to face and as a non smoker you can smell face to face.

1:08 pm

Haz1558

THAT would have been interesting.

1:08 pm

caitlyn

Not at all as a smoker Im more aware of non smokers and assume that they dont like my bad habit

1:08 pm

Atalante

flying must have knocked some sense into me

1:08 pm

caitlyn

Hi hurshy

1:08 pm

bichon

re 5/12?

1:08 pm

FMitch

Oh dear Ata, we can have that, you might get all serious on us.
Hi hurshy

1:08 pm

Haz1558

Well, here's hoping that terra firma will knock that sense right out again.

1:09 pm

Haz1558

re5/12 - not the real deal. Would not go down well on Antiques Roadshow.

1:09 pm

Jellen

Hi, hurshy

1:09 pm

hurshy

i assume people don't smoke or drink or do drugs or swear, that they are not overweight and that they are my age...

1:09 pm

Uniquity

So it is universal. We all assume others don't smoke. I wonder what other things this might apply to..*ponders implications*.

1:09 pm

EvaNadine

ok, so that gives me CA7, PE7 x3, Pi7, PR7
whats my last 7?

1:10 pm

Atalante

I hope so

1:10 pm

Atalante

hi hurshy dear!

1:10 pm

Haz1558

You can only assume if you don't see the person, though? Are we talking cyber-assumptions?

1:10 pm

hurshy

oh lookee all the 7 help!

1:10 pm

bichon

1:10 pm

hurshy

EvaNadine

1:11 pm

bichon

1:11 pm

Uniquity

I guess babble ate that post too. Things I write aren't showing up...Silly babble.

1:11 pm

lshult

1:11 pm

BzznBea

1:13 pm

caitlyn

1:13 pm

SharonRA

FMitch

Oh dear, thats Sharon off to the PB

1:13 pm

Haz1558

There was a 310 yesterday. It was not popular among some elements.

1:13 pm

sammysmom

1:13 pm

Uniquity

310 yesterday, but otherwise smallish. You've been away, Cait?

1:14 pm

EvaNadine

1:15 pm

hurshy

oh Little House!

1:15 pm

Uniquity

Ajv - Deviled eggs! Do it! Do it!

1:15 pm

Haz1558

1:15 pm

hurshy

1:15 pm

sammysmom

1:15 pm

FMitch

hurshy

1:16 pm

SharonRA

I have great recipes for baked egg casseroles and things that you make the night before....yum

1:16 pm

Uniquity

250 hens sounds like a yummy Chicken crepe!

1:16 pm

caitlyn

Uni nothing but sun, swimming, booze and rest,hard work all that relaxation

1:17 pm

Uniquity

Lol...sun, swimming, rest sound good!

1:17 pm

FMitch

Sounds tough cait but someone had to do it? *grin*

1:17 pm

1:17 pm

ajv74

But what do eggs have to do with that up-word...?

1:18 pm

Haz1558

There are two pe8 - they differ only in the last letter. Move one along in the alphabet.

1:18 pm

Uniquity

Congrats Bichon..feels better once it's done, doesn't it?

1:18 pm

caitlyn

Congrats bichon!!

1:18 pm

SharonRA

okay, but I could use a clue for either one, actually

1:18 pm

FMitch

Congrats bichon

1:18 pm

Haz1558

1:18 pm

ajv74

1:18 pm

EvaNadine

Well done EvaN. You're on the home straight.

1:19 pm

SharonRA

1:19 pm

lexleeanne

1:19 pm

Haz1558

We say full stop at the end of a sentence. Americans use this term.

1:20 pm

caitlyn

Hi lex

1:20 pm

Jellen

Congrats, bichon!!!

1:20 pm

Jellen

Hi lex!

1:20 pm

1:20 pm

SharonRA

1:20 pm

SharonRA

gracias

1:20 pm

Haz1558

Or think of it as being a length of time (pe6)

1:20 pm

FMitch

Oh Haz quick q, who was fired last night?

1:20 pm

Haz1558

Slang?

1:20 pm

Haz1558

Raef. I'm still in mourning.

1:21 pm

Haz1558

That slimy Michael escaped again.

1:21 pm

SharonRA

down to 45

1:21 pm

FMitch

Oh I wondered if it was him from a news snippet. What a shame.

1:21 pm

caitlyn

Oh he has gone, who is left now?

1:21 pm

SharonRA

full stop was slang to me

1:21 pm

Haz1558

It was a shame.

1:21 pm

Jellen

3 left. Leaving them for when Tim wakes up.

1:22 pm

Haz1558

No, full stop is not slang, it's just different terminology.

1:22 pm

Haz1558

Still going in the Apprentice are, Claire, Lucinda, Helene, yucky Michael, Alex and the one who doesn't know how to shave or speak.

1:22 pm

FMitch

Awe thats love Jellen :)

1:22 pm

Haz1558

Lee.

1:23 pm

Jellen

Yes, it is, FMitch.

1:23 pm

FMitch

Bet Michael wins then

1:23 pm

Uniquity

The person you hate always wins reality shows.

1:23 pm

Haz1558

If he wins, I'll...... write a letter of complaint to Sir Alan. Then he'll be sorry.

1:23 pm

caitlyn

Thanks Haz I will try and get the ones I missed

1:24 pm

Haz1558

He'll be REALLY sorry if he has to work with that snake in the grass.

1:24 pm

FMitch

How wonderful Jellen *soppy grin*

1:24 pm

Uniquity

He will! Especially after you bring up your intimate encounter with the royal family.

1:24 pm

Haz1558

But he's hopeless - and every one who has been fired hates him.

1:24 pm

kje

last ar 5/12?

1:25 pm

Jellen

I'm the one with the soppy grin, FMitch. So silly!

1:25 pm

Haz1558

He claimed on his CV to be 'a good Jewish boy' (because Sir Alan is Jewish) but didn't have a clue what kosher food meant.

1:25 pm

Uniquity

ar + robot ending, kje.

1:25 pm

Atalante

Raef went?! WAH!

1:25 pm

kje

TY uni - was looking at the otheR ^%#$@! Ar : )

1:26 pm

Haz1558

1:26 pm

FMitch

Ah Atas awake again.

1:28 pm

Jellen

Hi, kje!

1:28 pm

kje

hello all

1:28 pm

caitlyn

LOL and hi kje

1:28 pm

Atalante

so how what why, Haz? What did poor Raef do to be fired?

1:29 pm

Haz1558

Basically he was given the poisoned chalice of being Project Manager.

1:29 pm

G.Clooney

Speaking of corners and cubby's, might I have a word with you hazel, regarding the increased temperatur levels in the cubby with the changing season.

1:29 pm

BzznBea

Got it. thanks.

1:29 pm

Haz1558

They had to develop a brand and ad campaign for tissues. He and Michael set to working out a beautiful TV ad which basically failed to point out that you were supposed to buy the brand of tissues.

1:29 pm

Jellen

Oooh, a poisoned chalice! You Brits know how to do TV!

1:30 pm

Atalante

poor boy. and did he mess up horribly?

1:30 pm

Haz1558

Oh, George. Is the fan not working properly/

1:30 pm

BzznBea

25 left...all 4s. Think I'll take a break...Laer!

1:30 pm

caitlyn

Oh Gorge I didnt know you were still locked away

1:30 pm

Atalante

and michael STILL managed to creep away unscathed?

1:30 pm

Haz1558

They messed up in that they had Sian Lloyd playing a mother to a little boy (why?) and failed to include any shots of the tissues.

1:30 pm

caitlyn

George!!

1:30 pm

Haz1558

Michael is a creep, full stop (or pe6)

1:31 pm

G.Clooney

It's quite warm, and I don't like to complain, but the fan is inadequate to the task of cooling me off.

1:31 pm

Haz1558

Well, if you will keep that laptop going, George, what can you expect?

1:31 pm

FMitch

Stop daydreaming about Haz George and you might cool down a little!

1:31 pm

G.Clooney

Hello caitlyn. To be with Hazel, it's worth it, but hot is hot.

1:31 pm

caitlyn

Haz go and get him a long cool drink and a fan

1:31 pm

Haz1558

I may have to investigate other methods of cooling the cubby.

1:32 pm

Jellen

Tim's awake--bbs

1:32 pm

Haz1558

BRB. (It's not that I'm cross with him, but really. this IS babble time)

1:32 pm

caitlyn

Bye Jellen

1:32 pm

ajv74

Two dozen words still missing...

1:32 pm

EvaNadine

w...does babble outrank george?

1:33 pm

G.Clooney

Well, I just wanted to plant the seed. I'll return to my script reading and await your response in the hot cubby.

1:33 pm

caitlyn

Dont get too hot and bothered George

1:33 pm

Haz1558

I wouldn't like to say. It might hurt George's feelings.

1:33 pm

FMitch

EvaN Haz is very dedicated to Babble

1:34 pm

Haz1558

Or Dr-G's. You have to keep them both happy. Dr-G might boot me out.

1:34 pm

Haz1558

Yes, dedication, not addiction. A mild attachment is how I like to think of babble.

1:34 pm

G.Clooney

I'll take off my shirt, maybe that will help. For now. Thank you Hazel, and good bye until later.

1:35 pm

FMitch

LOL

1:35 pm

Atalante

awwww hobbit's here for a cuddle

1:35 pm

Haz1558

Bye George. If you're taking your shirt off, maybe I should just check on conditions.

1:35 pm

Haz1558

Talk amongst yourselves.

1:36 pm

caitlyn

I had better see what emails await..there were 39 unopened ,see you all tomorrow
Haz be gentle with him today!!
Bye

1:36 pm

kje

weird words in here - honestly, I don't think I've heard of probably a third of them

1:36 pm

NANCY

Can anyone clue me on the ca 6/30 please? Thank you in advance.

1:36 pm

Haz1558

Bye caitlyn. Don't fall for anybody trying to trick you into thinking they're George.

1:37 pm

Haz1558

ca6/30 - ca, a vowel, affectionate term for father.

1:37 pm

kje

look at 1:27 for ca clue

1:38 pm

FMitch

Bye cait good to see you back

1:38 pm

NANCY

Haz, thank you. You are amazing as usual.

1:39 pm

Haz1558

Thank you, Nancy. That's what George says as well.

1:39 pm

lexleeanne

hey cait -

1:39 pm

lexleeanne

I am tutoring after school and am continually called away - silly students need help in Geometry and English... so if I don't answer you know why

1:39 pm

lexleeanne

silly me working during school hours

1:42 pm

FMitch

Time to put the kettle on back shortly.

1:42 pm

lexleeanne

1:42 pm

kje

I'm playing, but I have 10 to go and trying to get down and get back to work : )

1:42 pm

Shawndra

Shawndra

here they cmoe back in 10

1:48 pm

kje

5

1:48 pm

kje

clue for rh6?

1:49 pm

Haz1558

rh6 -rh plus the word in the grid descriptive of a certain type of poem.

1:49 pm

ajv74

rh+o4

1:49 pm

Haz1558

Or rh plus the ending of one of the pe8 words.

1:49 pm

kje

TY Haz!!!

1:50 pm

FMitch

Some of these words are hard to clue today.

1:50 pm

Haz1558

You're welcome.

1:50 pm

ajv74

How about pe7/36

1:50 pm

Haz1558

I'm not sure what to say, FMitch! I could get into trouble.

1:51 pm

Haz1558

pe7/36 - first one ends in Spanish day, tacked onto pe4/5.

1:51 pm

FMitch

LOL

1:51 pm

Haz1558

The second one ends in a polka spot

1:52 pm

kje

a German bar?

1:52 pm

Haz1558

There could be painful times ahead.... for cluers and cluees.

1:52 pm

kje

why is that haz?

1:52 pm

KrisE

ty all! I"m lurking while I eat, but I'd never have found all these p's!

1:53 pm

Atalante

there may be trouble ahead ;a la la but while there's moon;light and babble and clues and hard words ...

1:53 pm

Haz1558

Nein! The sort of spot associated with polka, more in terms of material.

1:53 pm

SharonRA

a pretty gem, that polka spot one

1:53 pm

Haz1558

Let's face the music and daaaaaaaaaaaance.

1:53 pm

FMitch

I faced the music and danced

1:53 pm

kje

good song ata *humming along*

1:53 pm

KrisE

Go Fred and Ginger!

1:53 pm

Haz1558

My dalmatian was called Polka (Spangle's forerunner)

1:53 pm

kje

just kidding haz - I got the clue... : )

1:54 pm

Atalante

you had a dalmatian? we didn't know that!

1:54 pm

lexleeanne

thanks for those pe-s guys

1:54 pm

KrisE

I'm out again - back to the salt mines. Thanks all!

1:54 pm

lexleeanne

lurking and teaching - teaching and lurking - makes me a ...

1:54 pm

KrisE

*poof*

1:54 pm

lexleeanne

bye Kris

1:54 pm

ajv74

Ty, Haz! I've got all pe-s!

1:54 pm

Haz1558

It's hard to know sometimes, kje. I'm told I give obscure clues and some people just don't get beyond thinking 'huh?'

1:55 pm

kje

uno!

1:55 pm

Haz1558

Yes, Polka was our bimbo dog, all looks no brains.

1:55 pm

kje

too bad for them haz

1:55 pm

lexleeanne

Go kje go

1:55 pm

FMitch

You stick with your unique style Haz

1:55 pm

Haz1558

You can't please everybody I reckon.

1:56 pm

FMitch

Oh thats for sure and really shouldn't be attempted as madness will ensue.

1:57 pm

Haz1558

Yes, and we value our sanity, don't we?

1:57 pm

ajv74

Can someone clue ar5-s...

1:57 pm

FMitch

Oh yes! well, I would do if I still had it.

1:57 pm

kje

ar 5 - love

1:58 pm

Haz1558

ar5 - adds a vowel to the dry ar4/5 - it ends up with the robot ending. Also great love ar5/12

1:58 pm

kje

ar 5/12 = ar + robot ending

1:58 pm

Haz1558

That's right. You've not had your sanity for a while.

1:58 pm

kje

fireworks!!! thanks for all the clues!

1:58 pm

Haz1558

Speaking of madness, Ireland has been knocked out of the Eurovision Song Contest.

1:58 pm

Jellen

Yay kje!!!!

1:59 pm

Haz1558

The semi-final judges didn't like a turkey singing. Are they showing taste at last?

1:59 pm

Haz1558

Congratulaitons kje!

1:59 pm

FMitch

Congrats kje!!

1:59 pm

kje

thanks - will jet back to work now - see you all later

2:00 pm

FMitch

One has to query the validity of a singing turkey though

2:00 pm

Atalante

probably better than a lot of people in the charts now

2:00 pm

Haz1558

They thought they were being clever.

2:00 pm

lexleeanne

kj - I should have KNOWN you'd own a jet

2:01 pm

Haz1558

Or maybe they just didn't want to win. Staging the contest in Ireland for years on end nearly crippled RTE.

2:01 pm

FMitch

lol but that makes more sense

2:01 pm

SharonRA

help on the ca 6/21 and 6/36

2:01 pm

Atalante

more likely

2:02 pm

FMitch

ca6/21 - orange root veg

2:02 pm

Jellen

DONE!

2:03 pm

FMitch

Congrats Jellen or is that Tim?

2:03 pm

Jellen

Both of us!

2:04 pm

SharonRA

thanks Mitch....don't know why I didn't see that.

2:04 pm

FMitch

Double yay then.

2:05 pm

Haz1558

Well done Jellen!

2:06 pm

Jellen

Double thank you!

2:07 pm

FMitch

So I wonder what tomorrows grid will be like, bigger or smaller, what do we think?

2:07 pm

Atalante

bigger

2:08 pm

FMitch

and hoepfully friendly/easier

2:09 pm

FMitch

Did you sort all things with the publisher in the end?

2:09 pm

Haz1558

I think it will be HUGE.

2:09 pm

Haz1558

And it will be so easy that children in the streets will be lining up to do it and laughing as they get fireworks.

2:10 pm

FMitch

and all clues will be understood immediately? or not needed at all?

2:10 pm

Haz1558

Only the occasional clue will be needed and everyone will get them straightaway.

2:10 pm

SharonRA

is this babblerheaven you're describing?

2:11 pm

Atalante

with no "HUH?"s

2:11 pm

FMitch

You've been at the cooking sherry again haven't you.

2:11 pm

Haz1558

Yes, indeed. We're imagining tomorrow's grid, all shiny new.

2:11 pm

Haz1558

HUH's will be replaced by AH!

2:12 pm

Haz1558

No, I'm drunk on the eu8 of what might be.

2:12 pm

Atalante

and hurrays!

2:12 pm

FMitch

and the whole of babble will be bathed in a rosey glow

2:12 pm

Haz1558

Fish will be off.

2:13 pm

Atalante

stinky rotting fish?

2:13 pm

Haz1558

As in fish will not feature on the menu, rather than that the fish will smell bad.

2:13 pm

Haz1558

No fishy smells in babble perfection.

2:13 pm

meliae

sldkfjsldkfj this is the worst grid I have seen in months =/

2:13 pm

FMitch

but it's Friday, fish and chips

2:13 pm

Haz1558

Unless it's of smoked salmon.

2:14 pm

Haz1558

Then, meliae, you weren't here yesterday for the general feeling of *&£^%$ which many expressed.

2:14 pm

meliae

yes I missed yesterdays, if it was worse than this one I am glad I did

2:15 pm

FMitch

IT was as bad but SO much bigger

2:16 pm

Atalante

how big was it?

2:16 pm

FMitch

umm 310 I think

2:16 pm

Atalante

ow

2:16 pm

FMitch

It has been erased from my memory already

2:17 pm

meliae

hahahah I just found the ID 5/12 word which is exactly how I feel trying to solve this one

2:17 pm

Jellen

Hi meliae!

2:17 pm

ajv74

Swedish Eorovision song was soooooo Swedish...again.....

2:17 pm

meliae

Hiyas Jell ((HUGS))

2:18 pm

Jellen

(((Hugs back)))

2:18 pm

Haz1558

310 usually means you can sail through lots of normal words. Yesterday's grid came with a chisel.

2:18 pm

meliae

just start at the A's and start cluing every word please........and thank you..........rofl

2:18 pm

ajv74

And I can't find au5/12 and 5/14...

2:18 pm

Haz1558

meliae - that's exactly how some people like it.

2:19 pm

Angelsong

hi, all. a much quicker qrid today than yesterday's.

2:19 pm

Haz1558

au5/12 - au plus first letters of French for queen

2:19 pm

Jellen

Hi Angel

2:19 pm

FMitch

Hi Angel

2:19 pm

meliae

ooo found the do 4/6 another good word description lol

2:19 pm

Haz1558

au5/12 - au plus the first letters of the Lionheart King, or the produce of the paddy field.

2:19 pm

ajv74

I'd like to have a hank of Jamieson&Smith cobweb shetland wool some day

2:20 pm

Haz1558

Is that the wool that can be used to make a shawl so fine it can slip through a wedding ring?

2:21 pm

ajv74

Yes, just that.

2:21 pm

FMitch

What a wonderful description

2:22 pm

Haz1558

But it's literally that - I remember seeing a programme (years ago) about it, and they put the shawl through a wedding ring. It was amazing.

2:22 pm

ajv74

And thanks for au-s!

2:22 pm

Haz1558

It's kind of the opposite of aran knitting, where you're trying to get as dense a pattern as possible.

2:23 pm

ajv74

I love also aran knitting. But I can't buy that cobweb yarn from Finland...

2:23 pm

FMitch

mm produces some wonderful pieces

2:26 pm

Haz1558

I don't know if it is available easily here either, ajv.

2:28 pm

ajv74

I've found Jamieson&Smith webshop, but I don't like the id4 of buying from abroad with my hubby's VISA...

2:28 pm

SharonRA

down to 30

2:28 pm

SharonRA

i might get this done, yee hah

2:28 pm

Haz1558

Could you use Paypal instead, ajv? I've never had any problems with it.

2:30 pm

ajv74

I must check that possibility. I didn't even think that option! Thanks!

2:30 pm

Haz1558

I've used it with ebay and it's always worked fine - almost a second layer of security.

2:31 pm

Atalante

paypal rocks

2:31 pm

Haz1558

Did you know that we are paid ambassadors for Paypal? But don't let that influence you..

2:32 pm

FMitch

oh you little fibber you!

2:32 pm

Haz1558

Yes, I'm quite the spokesperson for Morewords and Paypal. I look for their cheques daily.

2:33 pm

Haz1558

They keep telling me they're in the post.

2:33 pm

FMitch

George is probably hoarding them under the stairs.

2:33 pm

FMitch

Nice of him to pop in this evening btw.

2:34 pm

Haz1558

That'll be it. Once these movie stars get money in sight there's no turning them.

2:34 pm

Haz1558

It was nice, wasn't it? It kind of proves to all the doubters that he's real.

2:35 pm

FMitch

*snort* as Ata would say

2:35 pm

MonkeyGames

Hi again! I have 20 minutes or so to stare at the grid uselessly, like I was doing earlier. How are you all?

2:35 pm

Atalante

are you saying I'm a warthog?

2:35 pm

MonkeyGames

Or, ummm, both? It looks like...

2:36 pm

MonkeyGames

Who, me? No, I just got here...

2:36 pm

FMitch

I didn't say that, here I go causing trouble again!

2:36 pm

kparker313

I was all excited when I saw there were only 112 words. Then I got to about 20 and ran out of words I was seeing. I knew I was in for a long day :P

2:36 pm

FMitch

Hi Money

2:36 pm

FMitch

Monkey even!

2:37 pm

Haz1558

Nothing is uglier than a warthog. You are no warthog, Atalante.

2:37 pm

MonkeyGames

That happened to me this morning, kpark.

2:37 pm

MonkeyGames

Money is acceptable.

2:37 pm

FMitch

LOL

2:37 pm

Atalante

I think elephants are. Just

2:37 pm

MonkeyGames

Naked mole rats are uglier than wart hogs. Just my two cents.

2:38 pm

Haz1558

NEVER! Warthogs are the ugliest things ever. Elephants are beautiful.

2:38 pm

Atalante

he he he *giggle*

2:39 pm

MonkeyGames

I agree about th eelephants. But warthogs are kind of cute. And have you SEEN a naked mole rat? Or a babirusa, for that matter?

2:39 pm

Haz1558

My mind is closed, Monkey. Warthogs cannot be surpassed.

2:40 pm

FMitch

babirusa looks like it might be related to a warthog

2:40 pm

Haz1558

They even look as though they should smell bad.

2:40 pm

Atalante

naked male rats are gorgeous

2:40 pm

MonkeyGames

Just... Google... babirusa...

2:40 pm

MonkeyGames

In images.

2:40 pm

Haz1558

What about naked male mole rats?

2:40 pm

FMitch

Ata should that be naked males full stop

2:40 pm

Atalante

the pig in our local farm shop is the ugliest animal ever

2:41 pm

FMitch

I did Monkey, amazing tusks

2:41 pm

MonkeyGames

Ata, you are right in taht such a bizarre miracle as teh naked mole rat has to be beaurtiful. In that way. Only.

2:41 pm

SharonRA

why can't I find the or 4/4

2:41 pm

LoriP

Oh my lord, is that Ata Hari? A sight for sore I's. :)

2:41 pm

MonkeyGames

Yeah, cool critter, huh?

2:41 pm

Haz1558

Come, come, FMitch. George taking his shirt off was one thing, we can't talk about naked males. People might object.

2:41 pm

MonkeyGames

Middle letter is doubled, Sharon. Then a vowel.

2:42 pm

Haz1558

or4/4 - o, a double helping of a consonant, finish with a vowel

2:42 pm

MonkeyGames

It's not a real word, of course.

2:42 pm

LoriP

Naked George? I miss all the good stuff.....

2:42 pm

FMitch

Yes Haz, sorry Haz.

2:42 pm

SharonRA

pi 7? thanks Haz

2:42 pm

Atalante

naked mole rats are quite - unique. ugly but amazing!

2:42 pm

Atalante

LORI!

2:42 pm

Haz1558

He was not naked. He took his shirt off.

2:42 pm

FMitch

I'll be good I promise.

2:43 pm

MonkeyGames

Don't have it yet, sorry.

2:43 pm

LoriP

I havta' hang around more. i wouldn't have minded a glimpse... Ata Hari! Are you home yet, or satill stateside?

2:43 pm

Atalante

I be home :)

2:43 pm

Haz1558

This is how rumours get started. Bare-chested Georges get turned into naked Georges and then we have to start hosing people down.

2:43 pm

Haz1558

pi7 - a type of clown?

2:43 pm

LoriP

Yea Ata! I hope you enjoyed your trip, but it's nice to have you home again.

2:44 pm

crpw48

hi everyone, not liking this grid to much, at least i learned a new word for my back side, and before i get off my ca6 area can i have a clue for the di6-27 please

2:44 pm

Haz1558

pi7 - begin with pi4/5 preceding and add a little decay

2:44 pm

Atalante

I;m so pleased to have my hobbit back. But I miss Oregon

2:44 pm

MonkeyGames

Thanks, Haz!

2:44 pm

LoriP

di + **** indigestion

2:44 pm

Haz1558

di6/27 - di plus a helping of the opposite of alkaline

2:45 pm

crpw48

thanks

2:45 pm

LoriP

I'm sure you're conflicted Ata. Nice to know you're home safe and sound though. Glad you had a good time.

2:45 pm

Haz1558

But just think, Ata. You're home in nice time for the Eurovision Song Contest.

2:45 pm

kthdsn

Hi guys, just popped in to let you know that my mum (Lindrickway) is doing well in case you missed the message I left earlier today

AsGreen

MonkeyGames

2:52 pm

FMitch

Oh you left some behind Lori when you went. I put them in a basket on the side for you.
