1:50 am

Just1Mar

I'll check it out spritey

1:50 am

GroovyKiwi

yes it is a very well written show

1:51 am

Just1Mar

does it always come to a happy conclusion? or a resolved conclusion?

1:51 am

sprite

it is worthwhile, 1Mar and jilli. Very well made.

1:51 am

jillibus

1:52 am

1:52 am

Just1Mar

I like pondering sprite

1:53 am

GroovyKiwi

its the bodies that get me they are so realistic best ive seen lol

1:53 am

GroovyKiwi

Just1Mar

don't you have a vcr jilli?

1:54 am

sprite

absolutely, Kiwi. I have just seen the episode where Bones and Hodgings are buried in that car. Where it takes the effort of each team member to get them out in time. It is brilliant.

GroovyKiwi

1:55 am

GroovyKiwi

i think im two seasons ahead of you spritey

1:55 am

jillibus

I do, mar, but haven't used it in ages -- hard to set the time along with the satellite dish. I'm lazy. And then I forget to watch the tape.

1:55 am

sprite

it was. Scary. But so well made, so thorougly thought through.

1:55 am

GroovyKiwi

which is wierd cause we are usually behind everyone else lol

1:55 am

sprite

Kiwi: you always are, hun. We are retarded, tv-wise.

1:56 am

jillibus

It doesn't sound very appetising!

1:56 am

GroovyKiwi

1:57 am

lynxxx

Hello everyone. Such a handsome 'man' Jilli

1:57 am

sprite

jilli: I am pretty sure you would love the dialogues, and the characters. But it is not like you need something to fill your time, so if it doesn't appeal to you, why bother?

2:54 am

Lorrie_in_SA

I see a 60's fashion designer has made her way into the grid!

2:54 am

herinfernallady

I meant about Mr Pres sorry should have been speciefic

2:55 am

sprite

not much news otherwise, lady. Still in lots of pain. But there is a chance of her coming home this week.

2:56 am

herinfernallady

Ok thanks I have missed a few days of babble

3:24 am

icepyro

hi all

3:24 am

lynxxx

Hi Ice

3:24 am

icepyro

how goes?

3:24 am

Haz1558

Good morning ice - you're either late to be or early to rise.

3:25 am

icepyro

late. Its 125am. i will be going to bed shortly

3:26 am

icepyro

just had a ridiculuos argument and decided to calm down and get tired for bed by babbling

3:26 am

Haz1558

Well, it's morning here, so another grid to tackle.

3:26 am

lynxxx

morning Haz and a nice if largish one to start you off

3:27 am

Haz1558

We'd better be calming and boring in that case.

3:27 am

Haz1558

Good morning, lynxxx. Yes, it looks a decent size. I can cope with tiddly grids for only so long.

3:28 am

icepyro

oh haz, even when your in a mood your refreshing at the least =D

3:28 am

Haz1558

I'll be sure not to say anything controversial.

3:30 am

icepyro

controversial would still be less frustrating than the argument I just had. Turned out to be a POV problem and everyones definition of certain words meaning we were arguing similar points without realizing it

3:31 am

Haz1558

Always have a dictionary to hand for an argument like that.

3:32 am

Haz1558

Still, it's better to have an argument over ideas than over personalities, it's harder to change personality than points of view.

3:33 am

icepyro

well we did, the thing is when you read a definition it is not a complete sentence which leaves an implied subject which one friend to to be him personally observing the characteristics while my friend and I assumed more of a the object has the characteristics of kinda subject

3:35 am

Haz1558

You're not getting het up by having to relive the argument, I hope?

3:35 am

icepyro

good point. back to the grid

3:36 am

Haz1558

Just comfort yourself with the thought that you were probably right.

3:37 am

icepyro

lol

3:37 am

FMitch

Good morning Haz and icep. Coffee break time here.

3:37 am

icepyro

hello fm. how are you

3:38 am

Haz1558

Good morning FMitch. If it's coffee break at 9.30 you must have had an early start?

3:38 am

lynxxx

she's be up since sparrows ****!

3:38 am

FMitch

Doing OK ta for a Monday morning icep. Yup Haz, 5.30am but did have a good sleep last night.

3:39 am

FMitch

lol lynxxx

3:39 am

icepyro

thx for the word lynxxx

3:40 am

FMitch

This grid will keep you happy for a while Haz and the IQ word is here today too

3:40 am

lynxxx

nope - its not there, just not offending delicate ears

3:41 am

Atalante

*pops in quickly*

3:41 am

Haz1558

I see that, FMitch. I'm sure Atalante is a founder member.

3:41 am

icepyro

well theres another less dirty word that fit in your statement that I found. Hows that?

3:41 am

FMitch

It is lynxxx, ar4/4 and pl.
Well talk of the devil and there she is lol

3:41 am

Haz1558

There she is! How's Uncle Stephen Hawking doing these days, Atalante?

3:41 am

Atalante

http://tinyurl.com/4z3dsq

3:42 am

Atalante

Stephen today is it? Very well, from what I can tell. Its hard to have a decent conversation with him these days though

3:42 am

icepyro

actually the word that popped into my head was sa4

3:42 am

lynxxx

morning Ata

3:42 am

FMitch

lool Ata

3:42 am

Haz1558

Oh Ata - good one!

3:43 am

icepyro

lol ata

3:44 am

Haz1558

See, that just shows how bright she is - Albert's genes live on.

3:45 am

Atalante

I'm not really here, I've got to go to Canterbury to getting some stuff scanned in a sec. I just came on to find the address of the shop, and just happened to gravitate over to babble

3:45 am

Haz1558

Just happened to gravitate - I must remember that as an excuse for being here.

3:45 am

FMitch

Gosh she's not here and can still chat with us, impressive stuff!

3:45 am

Atalante

I thought it fitting with Albert

3:46 am

Haz1558

Well, she is Einstein's granddaughter.

3:46 am

icepyro

shes been hanging out with shroedingers cat

3:46 am

Atalante

just like herin earlier. does that mean we're related?

3:47 am

Haz1558

I'm impressed with the calibre of the dogs here (in the grid)

3:47 am

Haz1558

I don't think so, Ata. Does she have a link to Einstein?

3:48 am

Haz1558

Oh, I get you - 'I'm not here'

3:48 am

Atalante

unlikely

3:48 am

Atalante

(being australian)

3:48 am

Haz1558

But who knows?

3:48 am

FMitch

*Lobs a halibut at Haz*

3:49 am

Atalante

did I show you lot this yesterday? http://tinyurl.com/6hqpuk

3:49 am

Haz1558

Sorry - I needed that fish to waken me up properly.

3:49 am

Haz1558

If it's the lovely knotwork, yes. We were impressed.

3:49 am

FMitch

"you lot"?? who is this 'you lot' she refers to?

3:49 am

Atalante

ok, good LOL :D

3:49 am

Atalante

I'm too tired to remember!

3:50 am

FMitch

pffft

3:50 am

Haz1558

I'm choosing to pass over the 'you lot'. It's her artistic temperament and all.

3:50 am

Atalante

I didn't get to sleep till 6am!

3:50 am

FMitch

*clears space on the floor for stomping but then decides it will use up too much energy*

3:51 am

Haz1558

Although you'd expect better of Albert's granddaughter. He had lovely manners.

3:51 am

Atalante

gosh, didn't realise you were old enough to remember him!

3:51 am

Haz1558

Was the husband snoring again? Or did you have geinus ideas coursing round your brain? Not being able to sleep isn't nice!

3:52 am

FMitch

Have you been time travelling again Haz?

3:52 am

Haz1558

No, it's just that his manners were legendary. I'm surprised 'you lot' didn't know that.

3:52 am

Atalante

husband snoring. I went to bed when he got up

3:53 am

Haz1558

A spare bedroom might be a plan?

3:53 am

FMitch

I am but a grain of sand blowing in the wind of life

3:54 am

Haz1558

There's the Belfast river and plural in the grid.

3:54 am

Atalante

I tried! I could hear him from down there!

3:54 am

icepyro

if hes like me, a tennis ball sewn into pajama back would be an easy fix. I dont snore when Im on my side

3:54 am

FMitch

*smacks self with halibut and refreshes coffee*

3:54 am

Haz1558

la5/14 and la6/24, that is.

3:54 am

Atalante

he does. on his side, on his front, on his back ...

3:54 am

Haz1558

Ear plugs in the spare bedroom is the next of it.

3:55 am

icepyro

oh my. tried any of those snore solutions from the store? those do help lower the decibel level at least

3:56 am

Atalante

I hate wearing ear plugs *sigh* I hate not being able to hear *anything*. Like the dog falling down stairs, or the cat howling, or someone breaking in LOL

3:56 am

Atalante

every snore solution possible. He has a CPAP machine that makes life easier, until he takes off the mask in the middle of the night in his sleep!

3:56 am

FMitch

Tennis ballin hubs mouth perhaps?

3:56 am

Haz1558

What an interesting household you have at night. You'd miss too much excitement if you went to sleep.

3:58 am

Haz1558

If you tied the mask on?

3:59 am

Atalante

that might work!

3:59 am

lynxxx

gaffer tape fixes many thngs

3:59 am

Haz1558

I think so! Don't use chains or barbed wire or anything, but something that might keep the thing on and defy him working with it.

4:00 am

icepyro

CPAP machines are the best snore killers I ever did see, so if he has one of those, Id duct tape it to his face each nite

4:00 am

Haz1558

You could make it a bedtime ritual. 'Come and get tied up, dear'

4:00 am

lynxxx

ROFL Haz

4:00 am

Atalante

whats amazing is that he can still snore with the cpap machine working. just not at train-going-through-a-tunnel level

4:01 am

icepyro

does he have the full mask or just the nose piece mask?

4:01 am

Atalante

full

4:01 am

icepyro

wow

4:01 am

Haz1558

I think a tracheotomy may be your next move.

4:02 am

icepyro

that is truly amazing

4:02 am

Atalante

ooooo what a good idea

4:02 am

Atalante

he doesnt snoer every night with cpap on, but he certainly can

4:02 am

Haz1558

(Pats self on back for having such good ideas this morning)

4:03 am

FMitch

and then you can use the optional speech valve, so he can sound like a darlek

4:03 am

icepyro

dunno about tracheotomy but has he seen an ENT specialist about surgery?

4:03 am

Haz1558

It'll just be like talking to Uncle Stephen!

4:03 am

icepyro

I had my tonsils removed and some other blocking tissue so if/when I lose weight my apnea should completely disappear

4:03 am

FMitch

loool

4:04 am

Atalante

surgery is a possibility - but only when he's had the cpap machine for about 2 years

4:04 am

Atalante

I have actually met Stephen Hawking!

4:04 am

FMitch

so long as we don't suggest anything no8/50

4:04 am

Haz1558

I'm sure my husband would be capable of doing a tracheotomy - as long as we got the book open at the right place, he's handy with a scalpel.

4:05 am

Atalante

can't be too hard, I'm sure I could do it with a textbook beside me!

4:05 am

FMitch

I can pick up the kit from the hospital this afternoon

4:06 am

Haz1558

It's bound to be simple enough to do. A bit of tubing, a teady hand and there you have it.

4:06 am

Haz1558

It would save going onto a waiting list as well.

4:06 am

FMitch

a teady hand??

4:06 am

icepyro

wow Im sorry to hear about the 2 years thing... I hope to be rid of mine before having it 2 years.. surgery was 3 months after being diagnosed

4:06 am

Atalante

exactly. I've helped with one before. Must be easy enough if all those actors on Casualty can do it

4:07 am

Atalante

oooo lucky you, ice!

4:07 am

FMitch

It's no8/50

4:07 am

Haz1558

Yes, teady hands are essential. A steady hand is also handy - it's a two handed operation. One for the scalpel, one for the tube.

4:08 am

FMitch

I bet icep has bad dreams now :(

4:08 am

Haz1558

I like the idea of the optional voice valve. You could choose who you want to sound like.

4:09 am

Boobear

good morning all

4:09 am

LadyNatts

nine 8-letter words? ... what a thing to wake up to!

4:09 am

icepyro

I guarantee Ive had worse and/or less sensical... however i think I would have better dreams if I could figure out that no8 you keep refering to

4:09 am

Haz1558

Come to think of it, actors could make full use of it. 'I'll have a Laurence Olivier, please'

4:09 am

FMitch

Morning Boo and Lady

4:09 am

Haz1558

ice - think lawyers.

4:09 am

Atalante

would it work shutting up people in the chat log?

4:10 am

Haz1558

Good morning Boo and LadyNatts.

4:10 am

lynxxx

Hi Boo & Ladynatts

4:10 am

LadyNatts

lol ata

4:10 am

Haz1558

Gosh, there's an application I hadn't thought of, Ata. You do think of the best things.

4:10 am

FMitch

It's a compund ice and there are 2 x no8/50 whilst we are at it

4:10 am

LadyNatts

of course.. it

4:10 am

LadyNatts

it's only 3:10 in the morning here...

4:11 am

icepyro

ah thankees.. I ws thinking lawyers I just didnt have the second part twisted together yet...

4:12 am

Haz1558

What's with being up at that time, Lady? Do you have a snoring husband? We have a solution. A tracheotomy with optional voice valve.

4:12 am

LadyNatts

I think it may be that he is NOT snoring tonight.

4:13 am

Haz1558

Dear me. Do we have to invent a snoring machine? Get a tape going to lull you over.

4:13 am

FMitch

Ata can make £ out of hubs affliction by selling CDs

4:13 am

icepyro

have ata call you at nite, apparently her husband snores enough to keep you awake

4:13 am

LadyNatts

lol haz... or it may be that I can only sleep 4 hours at a time

4:14 am

Atalante

*no-one* would want those! this is not gentle melodious snoring!

4:14 am

Haz1558

We should set up in business - Your problems, Our solutions.

4:15 am

Haz1558

Could we go on Dragons Den?

4:15 am

Atalante

that would be fun

4:15 am

LadyNatts

hehe... seriously, though. hubby usually snores enough to keep the dogs awake.

4:16 am

icepyro

so what ahs changed lady?

4:16 am

Haz1558

I think we have a competition to see whose husband is the worse snorer.

4:16 am

LadyNatts

I have no idea, icepyro.

4:17 am

Haz1558

We'll have to give this some thought, Lady. Why would a snoring man stop snoring?

4:17 am

icepyro

lol haz

4:17 am

Atalante

he's dead?

4:18 am

LadyNatts

no, I can hear him breathing, ata.

4:18 am

icepyro

oh my. such dreadful thoughts ata

4:18 am

Haz1558

Could he have listened to some hypnotist's tape telling him that he doesn't need to snore?

4:18 am

Atalante

good start then!

4:18 am

LadyNatts

I think it is because after 17 years, he is going to see his mother.

4:19 am

Haz1558

Could he have eaten some miraculous food?

4:19 am

Haz1558

So he's sleeping like a baby?

4:19 am

icepyro

I woulda guessed lost weight or changed sleeping position, but seeing ones mother does offer a better nights sleep.. at least mine does

4:19 am

LadyNatts

something like that, yes, haz

4:20 am

Haz1558

Ata, how often does your husband see his mother?

4:20 am

Atalante

not a lot any more. she's dead

4:21 am

Haz1558

Oh dear. That's not going to work for him.

4:21 am

Atalante

nooooooo lol

4:21 am

icepyro

did the snoring become worse since then?

4:21 am

Haz1558

And there I was,thinking that if she just moved in with you.....

4:21 am

LadyNatts

we leave July 1 ... I couldn't believe it, but he actually called yesterday to "order" his menu for the first few days...

4:21 am

Atalante

yep! but he put on weight at the same time, and got a more stressful job, and and and

4:22 am

Haz1558

Where does his mother live, Lady?

4:22 am

icepyro

no! a mother should never move in with married children imo.

4:22 am

LadyNatts

Malaysia, haz.

4:22 am

icepyro

oh my ata, that sounds like the worst combo for you =\

4:23 am

Haz1558

Oh! So quite exotic food? If he had been going to Britain he's have been ordering 'nursery food'.

4:24 am

LadyNatts

lol... well, he was in britain from the time he was 10.

4:24 am

LadyNatts

in boarding school.

4:25 am

Haz1558

What did he order?

4:25 am

LadyNatts

I have no idea.

4:26 am

Haz1558

The wise woman would eat everything and pronounce the mother-in-law a wonderful cook.

4:26 am

LadyNatts

oh, believe me, I will...

4:26 am

LadyNatts

when he started in on his "ordering" of food... I walked out of the room.

4:26 am

Haz1558

Wise woman!

4:27 am

Haz1558

But his mother will have been charmed. She'll love it that her boy remembers her food with fondness.

4:28 am

icepyro

well, I think trying to help others has calmed my mind enough to sleep now

4:28 am

Atalante

*sigh* I should get going into the wonder that is Canterbury before I fall asleep again, and before its streets become too bethrongèd with Italian and French school holiday tourist groups

4:28 am

LadyNatts

true, haz. she is so excited that he/we are coming, she can talk of nothing else. his sister is a bit put out, since she is visiting at the same time.

4:28 am

Haz1558

Funnily enough, I was just about to ask if you had calmed down, ice. Helping others is the way forward.

4:29 am

Haz1558

Oh, Italian and French school children. Do they shove you in the back and say 'Pardon!' at the same time?

4:29 am

icepyro

well I appreciate the thought haz.

Haz1558

Ice - off to bed with you now that you're as calm as all get out. Get that machine going and float off.....

4:31 am

Haz1558

I knew you would be, Lady. Not like those Italian and French children.

4:31 am

LadyNatts

LOL quite so

4:31 am

Haz1558

But Atlante, can you imagine what hordes of British children would be like, let loose on the continent?

4:32 am

Atalante

they could never be as bad as the Italian kids!

4:33 am

Haz1558

Your faith in British children is touching.

4:33 am

Atalante

LOL no faith at all in them! I'm just used to the Italian brats we get in Cant

4:33 am

Haz1558

FMitch has gone quiet. Do you think she's working?

4:33 am

Atalante

I was *just* wonderiing that

4:33 am

FMitch

4:35 am

FMitch

I had better be disciplined and poof too

4:35 am

Haz1558

If you don't come back we'll offer a reward. Surely someone will pay for the safe return of Einstein's granddaughter and Stephen Hawking's niece?

4:36 am

Atalante

(nobody loves haz ... aw .... everyone's leaving her)

4:36 am

Haz1558

Oh well. I'd better go too. Some people just won't stay and play.....

4:36 am

Haz1558

5:41 am

jazflyn

Lorrie, any chance u could clue that cl9 one more time for the dummies? Those persian pixies have me stumped

5:42 am

Lorrie_in_SA

Jaz, the pixie people also sound like a sort of sparkling wine.... Any better?

5:42 am

jazflyn

not better yet, but let me cogitate a bit more...

5:43 am

Lizsark

cl + hesitant 2 letter sound + small 2 letter word I am you are he **, +plural ending

5:43 am

Lizsark

the definition is apparently : Educated people considered as a group; the literati.

5:43 am

crosshair

you cogitate,ill ruminate:)

5:44 am

Lizsark

makes you sound like a cow chewing cud crosshair :)

5:44 am

lynxxx

jazflyn - do you have ce7.32 the color/s

5:44 am

crosshair

lol

5:44 am

jazflyn

cogitating's making my head hurt, think i'll just try thinking

5:45 am

jazflyn

yes i have the ce7s

5:45 am

lynxxx

if you do have ce7.32 add the L & another vowel after the S

5:45 am

Lizsark

I thought of another way cl9 sounds like the plural of clerks (kind of)

5:45 am

lynxxx

(first S that is)

5:46 am

LoriP

5:53 am

crosshair

5:53 am

jazflyn

5:54 am

LoriP

5:54 am

jazflyn

5:54 am

crosshair

5:54 am

LoriP

5:55 am

crosshair

boom! ty lori darlin;)

5:56 am

LoriP

Did that (typing aside) do anything for ya' cross?

5:56 am

crosshair

worked like a charm

5:56 am

Haz1558

It seems to have more than the desired effect, Lori.

5:56 am

LoriP

lol, only a small post lag..... ack G'd morning Haz!

5:56 am

crosshair

i can see again!:)

5:57 am

Haz1558

Seems to have had (have to get my tenses right). Good morning all.

5:58 am

jazflyn

i've gotta go and re-wire my eyeballs, thanks all for the help, toodle pip

5:59 am

LoriP

Later jaz. haz, please focus, because typos and laguage abuse is my forté not 'yers..... :D

6:00 am

LoriP

See? *language even

6:00 am

Haz1558

I'll try. I'm just reliving the Pride and Prejudice moment invoked by your inside profile quotation.

6:00 am

Haz1558

It would definitely have been written in sarcastic font, if such had been available to Miss Austen.

6:01 am

LoriP

Absotively. I concur with 'yer concurrment!

6:01 am

Haz1558

I thought you might!

6:03 am

LoriP

T-storms threatening here, and yet another dungeon of fog. ***sigh*** I miss that yellow round thing in the sky.....

6:03 am

Haz1558

Is this a worse than usual weather pattern for you?

6:03 am

crosshair

that yellow round thing seared a hole in the top of my head yesterday:/

6:04 am

Haz1558

You weren't wearing a hat?

6:04 am

LoriP

Not necessarily. Temps are in the range, it's justthe fog factor, certainly not an anomale for here by any stretch of the imagination.

6:04 am

Haz1558

Fog isn't fun.

6:05 am

crosshair

cant wear a hat my perephrial vision makes hats a real pain in the tushie

6:05 am

LoriP

Poor cross. No hats available west of Nova Scotia? :-)

6:05 am

Haz1558

Nor is getting the top of your head seared off, of course.

6:05 am

crosshair

lol nice try,i dont live out east

6:06 am

Haz1558

Are you follicly challenged, cross?

6:06 am

Haz1558

Or should that be folliclely?

6:06 am

crosshair

nope nit yet anyways,give it a year

6:06 am

crosshair

not

6:07 am

Haz1558

I bet Donald Trump doesn't have any problems with getting the top of his head burnt.

6:07 am

LoriP

A large hideous toupéé could work without altering your periphoral visionary lifestyle.... :D

6:08 am

crosshair

lol@the donald

6:08 am

Haz1558

Gosh, I mention Donald Trump and Lori comes up with a large hideous toupee. We're on the same wavelength.

6:11 am

crosshair

look at bill gates,woth 50 billion dollars and still cannot get a good hair cut:/

6:11 am

LoriP

He certainly has proven that no amount of money can buy good hair.....

6:11 am

crosshair

you would think he would google one...:)

6:11 am

Haz1558

Look at Elton John.

6:11 am

Haz1558

Is there a pattern emerging here? The richer the man, the worse the hair cut?

6:12 am

LoriP

I have 14 words! Almost done.

6:12 am

Haz1558

The moral of the story is, don't hang around outside exclusive barbers.

6:12 am

crosshair

elton can get away with it,he has a rocking glasses collection

6:13 am

Haz1558

Dear crosshair. You've just landed yourself in the Penalty box for giving away gl7. Off you go!

6:13 am

crosshair

no,the moral is that when you get rich enough,you dont care qwhat people think

6:13 am

crosshair

what did i give away?where?

6:13 am

LoriP

heh heh heh enjoy the pb cross....

6:13 am

Haz1558

Was that Michael Jackson's motivation for his change of appearance?

6:13 am

crosshair

oops

6:14 am

Haz1558

gl7 - as worn by Elton John

6:14 am

crosshair

got it

6:14 am

Haz1558

Or by Scots la6. Clever dogs like la7 don't need them.

6:15 am

crosshair

there is nothing to eat in this penalty box...got some nachos and cheese and maybe a few brewskis?

6:15 am

LoriP

Sacrilege! The pb is always stocked. I'll get the cabana boy right on it....

6:15 am

Haz1558

That will teach you to post word.

6:16 am

Haz1558

words even.

6:16 am

crosshair

ty for hint haz

6:16 am

LoriP

Haz meant *werd!

6:16 am

Haz1558

You are welcome.

6:16 am

crosshair

this nacho cheese is cold..............

6:16 am

Haz1558

(He's a bit of a whine, isn't he?)

6:17 am

LoriP

Too many g's, s's, c's, m's and l's. Ack ***to the coffee pot!***

6:17 am

crosshair

at least i dont care that the curtains dont match the pillows:P

6:18 am

LoriP

Good lord man, the complaining! In the sanctity of the pb, our pride and joy.

6:18 am

Haz1558

Curtains and pillows in a penalty box? It's supposed to be a punishment, for goodness sake.

6:19 am

crosshair

and the hot tub is not warm enough....

6:19 am

crosshair

cant get good help it seems

6:19 am

Haz1558

You can come out of the penalty box now.

7:45 am

Dorens

oh, i couldn't babble from work, and am always surprised to find people who do. If we were allowed to, I'd have serious problems

7:46 am

lexleeanne

well - I run a computer lab - for remediation and enhancement - so when they aren't here I am just waiting - when they are here I am up and down - in the downs - I am babbling

7:47 am

JBV

me too dorens, we have a very strict technology policy and in my office we observe it - can't say what goes on elsewhere

7:47 am

Babs1

What big city is your town closest to lex?

7:47 am

lexleeanne

Charlotte

7:47 am

Dorens

7:48 am

lilliann

hi TO :-)

7:48 am

Dorens

hey owl

7:48 am

No - I can stop - that's why I guess I seem so rude to you guys - the kids come first and may walk in at any time for some sort of help -

7:48 am

lexleeanne

Hey TO

7:48 am

lilliann

you don't seem rude to me lex

7:49 am

Dorens

oh, I seem rude then (if it seems rude) cause I drift into the kitchen for something and get involved and end up coming back half an hour later when I thought i'd just be gone a minute

7:49 am

lexleeanne

It's just that I don't always tell y'all that I am away

7:50 am

Dorens

not rude, in my book

7:50 am

lexleeanne

I usually say that I am here - but not always that I'm back - thanks - I kinda wondered - glad it isn't rude

7:50 am

lilliann

7:59 am

LadyNatts

yeah, I fingered that out

8:01 am

LadyNatts

I cannot believe there are 12 Q words

8:02 am

LadyNatts

I only have 4 and I can't seem to monkey any more

8:02 am

lexleeanne

I have 9

8:02 am

lexleeanne

think space

8:03 am

LadyNatts

now I have 7

8:04 am

lexleeanne

I might have to consult lickety

8:04 am

Babs1

i'm thinking space.....hmm...no results--must be the space between my ears!

8:04 am

Dorens

oh most def lex.. this size, we need him

8:05 am

lexleeanne

I got 103 with out - deciding how long to hold out

8:05 am

lexleeanne

babs are you asking for the clue?

8:06 am

Dorens

my rule of thumb is usually halfway mark.. unless it's under 180 and then i might attempt listlesss

8:06 am

harpjane

good morning

8:07 am

lexleeanne

Hey harp

8:07 am

Babs1

after yesterday's discussion about some who get upset about certain types of clue requests, I'm laying low on asking...

8:07 am

LadyNatts

hiya harpjane

8:07 am

lilliann

hi harp

8:07 am

lexleeanne

eek - hence - I am not first rate ----yet

8:07 am

lexleeanne

oh missed that - I ask too often sometimes - usually at the end of the day

8:07 am

LadyNatts

I've only ever made the puzzle once without the clue list

8:08 am

Dorens

morning harp....go ahead and ask babs we won't talk about you

8:08 am

JBV

what? now we have clue police who say how we should ask for clues? please!

8:08 am

LadyNatts

babs, I wouldn't worry about it... those who don't like to get clues can just turn off the chat.

8:08 am

lilliann

ask away babs

8:08 am

lexleeanne

I've been censured before.

8:09 am

LadyNatts

did you bite back, lex?

8:09 am

lexleeanne

I think they think I have not worked my brain sore before asking...

8:09 am

Babs1

do you have bruises? lol

8:09 am

lexleeanne

no - still too babble young and shy

8:09 am

Dorens

i get mildly irritated from time to time by people who don't seem to try, but then again, there are times that I'm sure i appear not to be trying

8:10 am

lilliann

we are not all the same and what might be easy to one person is not for another

8:10 am

LadyNatts

sooo... about those 5 Q words I am missing....

8:10 am

Babs1

how do you know if someone's not trying??

8:10 am

JBV

that's a beautiful picture in your icon, Babs - what is that?

8:10 am

harpjane

i'd never finish without either clues or going to the archives

8:11 am

lexleeanne

EXACTLY - and what is easy today may not be easy tomorrow - it is supposed to be a brain stretch AND a leisure activity.... so sometimes when it stops being leisure I ask - and sometimes for 4/4's

8:11 am

Vicuna

Hello, folks. i was lurking and I was not around for whatever discussion you are referring to from yesterday, but here's my two cents: when i give a clue or two and people reply with "not working, need better clue" I find that quite rude and entitled. I don't censure, but I stop giving clues.

8:11 am

Babs1

it's a Van Gogh I put up ages ago when it was appropriate for the icon for that day

8:11 am

Vicuna

A please would go long way.

8:11 am

Vicuna

*a long way

8:12 am

Atalante

I think everything is fine until people *expect* clues to be given

8:12 am

JBV

thanks, babs, didn't recognize the Van Gogh, but it's lovely

8:12 am

72 Temple Owl

me, too. and god forbid don't mention a to z or ask them to google

8:12 am

LadyNatts

um... please?

8:12 am

Dorens

there's something about "need a better clue" that implies inferiority in the clue, but actually my clue might have been fine, it is they who have the problem

8:13 am

72 Temple Owl

my take is that i hate it when our lovely chats become a stream of endless clues....does that sound harsh?

8:13 am

Atalante

or clue requests

8:13 am

LadyNatts

when i don't "get" a clue, I don't blame the person who gave it, I blame my lame brain.... I suspect others do too.

8:13 am

Dorens

i actually enjoy cluing, but balance is nice

8:13 am

Vicuna

Sorry, ladyNatts! After your lovely "plase," I can't help yet anyway. Just started!

8:14 am

LadyNatts

true, dorens

8:14 am

lexleeanne

Yes - and when "I don't get" - I blame myself for being a lame brain

8:14 am

Babs1

I enjoy the clues not just to get the answers but to see how different peoples' minds work in giving them...

8:14 am

Vicuna

Forgive lame typing today, please. *sigh*

8:14 am

LadyNatts

lol vicuna, I understood

8:14 am

lexleeanne

yeah - I like watching to clues too.

8:14 am

Babs1

looking for 5 q's too, Lady

8:15 am

Atalante

I like seeing people's clues and the different way they come up with things. I think sometimes ppl forget though that they are *clues*. One has to consider them before whining

8:15 am

lexleeanne

I actually tantrum - how BAD is that

8:15 am

Vicuna

Bad bad bad. lol

8:15 am

LadyNatts

what do you mean, you tantrum?

8:16 am

harpjane

speaking of clues, how many letters is the lone S in the corner?

8:16 am

lexleeanne

I have felt ignored... so I try to get attention like

8:16 am

Vicuna

And hello, Ata, by the way!

8:16 am

lexleeanne

sasasaassasasasa - I need sa#/#

8:16 am

lexleeanne

SO now I'm on the lame list

8:17 am

LadyNatts

4 letters is the S in the corner.... I just found it after you mentioned it

8:17 am

Vicuna

When chat's flying by it's easy to miss a line or two. I don't think you're being ignoried!

8:17 am

Scrabbler

Lex, you are being SAsssssssy

8:17 am

Scrabbler

And good morning to all.

8:17 am

harpjane

LadyNatts

8:21 am

Scrabbler

No, Spanish 6 comes from another.

8:21 am

LadyNatts

oh... geez... so it does

8:22 am

Vicuna

Hello, EvaN.

8:22 am

JBV

applied linguistics is about teaching and learning languages, among other things, I've been involved in education all my life, as an ESL teacher, supervisor, now director of a bilingual/ESL program

8:22 am

lilliann

apart from looking after my bairn who fell down the stairs last night and hurt her back eva, fine....it hasn't stopped her from talking tho!! how are you eva?

8:23 am

Atalante

I dreamed last night that I rescued a large white bunny from the side of the road and brought it home and got very confused cos I had no idea how to look after him

8:23 am

Scrabbler

I am studying Italian now, JBV. I finally found 2 great books, by the same author, to help me learn and study.

8:23 am

JBV

that's so strange, Ata, I had the same dream the night before about a big white cat!!

8:23 am

Babs1

then what happened, ata?

8:23 am

72 Temple Owl

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmlie down on this couch*gets out note pad*

8:23 am

Scrabbler

Scrabbler

8:24 am

JBV

Scrabbler, Italian is beautiful - it's my father's native language, but I didn't learn it at home, had to study it in school - I actually speak Spanish and French better

8:24 am

JBV

thanks for that se 5!

8:24 am

Babs1

oh...thanks, chiley...someone before had sad it was a 4 letter word..

8:24 am

Scrabbler

Italian is my mother's native language too. Her parents were immigrants. I took 1 semester in college (1980) and want to become competent for a trip to Italy in the next few years so I can visit the villages where my grandparents grew up.

8:26 am

lilliann

Dorens

ty chiley

8:27 am

Babs1

hip hip hooray gran!

8:27 am

JBV

fortunately a little bit of Italian goes a long way when you're visiting, since everyone will be so nice and will love to hear you say even a few words, I'm sure - but be prepared that the language of the villagers may not be what you're studying in your textbooks

8:27 am

Scrabbler

Doren--your beloved Phoebe is almost 2!

8:27 am

Atalante

lol I was just thinking that, JBV. Countryside Italian is interesting

8:27 am

EvaNadine

hints for the solo O or the i words?

8:27 am

LadyNatts

sorry was distracted looking for hubby's glasses

8:27 am

Scrabbler

Yes, I know that there are many dialects, esp in Sicily where I have distant relatives.

8:27 am

Dorens

yes scrabbler... birthday on saturday, and she loves singing hatty birdday to you!

8:28 am

harpjane

solo o is streams in the desert

8:28 am

Vicuna

oa5 - palms int he desert

8:28 am

JBV

I visited my father's family in Sicily and I found I could speak easily with the younger people who had been to school and learned "Italian" as a second language, but the older people, who were mostly uneducated - it was quite a different story

8:28 am

LadyNatts

ty vicuna great clue :)

8:28 am

Babs1

wow, jbv, didn't know there was that much difference in Italian!

8:28 am

EvaNadine

LadyNatts

I am not going to finish this puzzle... or any puzzle for 3 weeks hence :(

8:30 am

JBV

Scrabs, I think we had this conversation before because I remember trying to look up that town, couldn't find it - what is it near? My father's family is from Mezzojuso, a small town in the province of Palermo

8:31 am

Babs1

I have never been before either... my husband grew up there. My 17-y-o daughter is coming with us.... aside from the US, I haven't travelled for 30 years!

8:34 am

Vicuna

And Dorens!

8:35 am

Vicuna

(Was braiding daughter's hair when yours went by!)

8:35 am

Dorens

yw

8:35 am

Babs1

wow! how wonderful to go now---how many places will you go? my daughter is same age!

8:35 am

72 Temple Owl

bye everyone - see you later!

8:35 am

LadyNatts

I loved braiding my daughters' hair... too bad they didn't like it.

8:36 am

Scrabbler

JBV--I spelled it wrong too. O at the end, not A. And I have looked at that web site before. It gives me chills to think of my grandfather growing up in that town and then being told to go to the US with his 2 brothers, leaving his parents and others sibs .

8:36 am

Dorens

enjoy your day owl

8:36 am

LadyNatts

not too many places... as his mother lives there, we'll spend much of the time near her.

8:36 am

lilliann

hopeyou have a great time lady

8:36 am

Babs1

my braiding days ended long ago--i forget what age the girls shun our attempts to make them beautiful in the mornings...

8:36 am

Atalante

my mother never braided my hair. I feel hard done by now

8:36 am

Scrabbler

Bye Owl

8:36 am

LadyNatts

thanks, lilliann...

8:37 am

LadyNatts

mine were probably 4

8:37 am

Scrabbler

I remember my mother braiding my hair.

8:37 am

JBV

Scrabs, I'm reading a book which is exactly about that - you may want to check it out - title is "In the Garden of Papa Santuzzu" by Tony Ardizzone

8:37 am

LadyNatts

awww... poor ata... you know, my sister (elder by 7 years) still asks me to braid her hair.

8:37 am

lilliann

i love to braid my daughter's hair but have difficulty doing it some days as i 'm getting arthritis in my fingers

8:37 am

EvaNadine

my mom never knew how to french braid -- she tried once + it ended with me getting a bowl cut to remove all the knots + tangles...

8:38 am

BzznBea

Something ami4/5?

8:38 am

JBV

it shows the heartwrenching decision to leave the homeland and strike out for the American dream (turn of the 20th century)

8:38 am

LadyNatts

oh my, evanadine!

8:38 am

Dorens

my daughter had thick curlu haor. braiding it wasn't nearly as much trouble as getting a brush or comb through it

8:38 am

Atalante

I think my mum's efforts would have resulted in the same

8:38 am

lilliann

oh dear eva!

8:38 am

Atalante

if she had tried, I mean!

8:39 am

EvaNadine

i LOVE my mother, really, i do....
but i am tender-headed, and gentle, she is not.

8:39 am

lilliann

i didn't have thick enough hair so had to have it short and my mam did give me pudding bowl hairstyles...lol

8:39 am

72 Temple Owl

ty jbv, i will get the book. *poof*

8:39 am

Dorens

glad you survived evaN

8:39 am

Scrabbler

JBV--I just found it on Amazon and the synopsis has brought tears to my eyes. I am going to get the book ASAP. Ty so much. We should talk more.

8:39 am

Atalante

I can keep my hair in plaits for about 30 seconds. It just bounces out after that

8:39 am

LadyNatts

you know... sometimes it's not worth playing the grid when there is such interesting chat going on.

8:40 am

Dorens

book does look good jbv

8:40 am

EvaNadine

my dad was always the one to comb my hair after a bath when i was little -- mom would just rip through it, leaving me in tears...but dad would sit down + take his time with each little tangle

8:40 am

LadyNatts

my youngest daughter ( the one coming with us to Malaysia) was a weeper when it came to my doing her hair... and I AM gentle.

8:41 am

lilliann

i would love to have long hair....i use to love putting braids in my dads hair...i would spend hours brushing it and putting clips and bands in

8:42 am

Scrabbler

Yes, Eva, I remember once having a head full of tangles, and my father had me lie on the couch with my head on the armrest as he patiently detangled my mop. He probably did that to keep my mom from coming at me with scissors.

8:42 am

lilliann

my daughter is the same lady

8:42 am

DR1965

I never wore braids.. mostly ponytails

8:42 am

Atalante

you mean long, *fine* hair lilli!

8:42 am

LadyNatts

I hear you, EvaN... my dad was the one who worked his way gently through my tangles... and I don't necessarily mean the one in my hair.

8:42 am

Babs1

that book does look wonderful! anyone have suggestions on good things to do in Savannah...i'll be there a week while my daughter attends a summer art program.

8:42 am

lexleeanne

I have long hair - sort of - and I just want someone to brush it and play with it - it melts me

8:43 am

Babs1

sounds like a nice dad, scrabbler!

8:43 am

lilliann

yes ata, which is why i don't grow it long otherwise it looks very lanky and limp

8:43 am

LadyNatts

nothing like having someone play with your hair... I agree, lex!

8:43 am

Atalante

but if you have long, *thick* hair its impossible to braid or play with anyway

8:44 am

Scrabbler

babs, as I get older, and he is now 77, I appreciate him more and more.

8:44 am

EvaNadine

i always wanted crazy-long hair, like crystal gale...heh

8:45 am

EvaNadine

nowadays, i keep it super-short!

8:45 am

lilliann

i wouldn't be bothered about braiding it ata, i would just like to know how it feels to have long hair and see what i look like

8:45 am

LadyNatts

my dad died 4 days before his 78th birthday... I miss him every day

8:45 am

lexleeanne

I have pretty thin hair - kids tease my when I put in all up in a pony because it looks silly - usually use claws

8:45 am

Atalante

I can wear mine in 2 ways. down. or in a ponytail. everything else collapses

8:46 am

LadyNatts

I was in 5th grade when a 6th-grader teased me about not knowing how to braid my own hair. I showed her!

8:46 am

lexleeanne

mine needs trimmed again - before breakage begins

8:47 am

lilliann

my daughter has half curly and half straight hair which is a pain, it looks really nice curly but the straight bit doesn't curl very well

8:47 am

LadyNatts

I learned not only how to braid my own hair, but how to french braid it... and I do it still

8:47 am

Scrabbler

Natts, I dread the day when my parents are gone, even though my mother makes me crazy sometimes.

8:48 am

lexleeanne

I did my sister's and then my daughters' in french braids, fishtails, twists, etc etc - no more though we are all too grown up

8:48 am

LadyNatts

scrabbs, my mother makes me crazy most times.

8:48 am

Atalante

what is a fishtail?

8:48 am

LadyNatts

lex, my sister is 52 years old, and she would still ask me to french braid her hair.

8:48 am

lexleeanne

m-in-l is back on the poor me gig - which makes ME nuts

8:49 am

Atalante

apart from the obvious!

8:49 am

EvaNadine

a fishtail is pretty much a 2-strand braid that LOOKS like it has a bajillion strangs -- like a fishbone....

8:49 am

lexleeanne

had to confront her on Saturday - never any fun

8:49 am

lexleeanne

herring bone

8:49 am

LadyNatts

oh my g.... I haven't done a fishtail in years!

8:49 am

Atalante

wow

8:49 am

lexleeanne

I'm not too grown up - my girls are

8:50 am

EvaNadine

looks like this when its done:

8:50 am

lexleeanne

it's kinda fun if you have time

8:50 am

BzznBea

Sisters? Don't get me started!

8:50 am

Scrabbler

Haha, is anybody looking for words anymore?

8:50 am

LadyNatts

I used to do fishtails on my girls when they were younger and had long hair.

8:50 am

Atalante

wow! never seen one of those before!

8:51 am

LadyNatts

not I, scrabbs, I have pretty much given up looking for words

8:51 am

Vicuna

(Wow, look at the braid conversation I started! And missed all of, due to administering snack.)

8:51 am

JBV

I still have only 8 q's - have not gone to the list yet

8:51 am

BzznBea

There is a q?

8:51 am

LadyNatts

you can only really do a fishtail on long hair... braids, you can do with any length

8:52 am

JBV

oh! I just found the "space" word -that was clued about two hours ago! just a little slow here

8:52 am

LadyNatts

there are 12 Q words, bea... it's terrible

8:52 am

harpjane

could somsone clue the 9?

8:52 am

BzznBea

Is this grid hard or is it just me?

8:53 am

harpjane

i think it's hard, bzz

8:53 am

Scrabbler

JBV, can you save me 2 hrs and clue the space word please?

8:53 am

Vicuna

I usually do the q words first because they're so easy... but today I am having a dreadful time with them.

8:53 am

LadyNatts

I think I saw the 9 clued as a compound word... starting with no... I haven't got it yet, though.

8:53 am

Atalante

the Qs simply dont exist

8:54 am

JBV

qu 6/27 and plural - it's a physics word I think

8:54 am

Scrabbler

I found qu**mire, and its plural.

8:54 am

Atalante

no9 - not + what lawyers do

8:54 am

LadyNatts

perhaps... qu***um theory?

8:54 am

JBV

let me know if you need more of a clue, my brain is stalling

8:54 am

Atalante

oh sorry. thats an 8. oops

8:54 am

harpjane

the 9 is a cl word but that's all i know about it

8:54 am

LadyNatts

that's not 9 though

8:54 am

Scrabbler

OK, I am completely confused with these clues flying by.

8:54 am

harpjane

no but i didn't have it yet, thanks!

8:55 am

LadyNatts

take your time, scrabs

8:55 am

Scrabbler

But TY for the clues--I will process them.

8:55 am

ardilla

SCRABBS!!!

8:55 am

JBV

the 9 is cl 9/60 - start with the first letters of a man of the cloth cl***c, then add plural, 2 vowels and s

8:55 am

Atalante

oh! just got the space ones

8:56 am

BzznBea

Does the 9 build off of the cl5/12 in the bottom right corner?

8:56 am

Atalante

qu6 and 7 - like pulsars

8:56 am

Scrabbler

Hey, Little Squirrel, how are you? Walking OK now?

8:56 am

JBV

oops, bad clue, - cl***c + s + plural ending

8:56 am

Vicuna

Thanks, JBV!

8:56 am

lexleeanne

cl9 = cl**ks do paper work + ir**** are my favorite flower - drop the r and add e before the plural

8:56 am

Vicuna

And Thanks, Ata!

8:56 am

lilliann

cl9 is on a cl*a* day you can see the cliffs of dover and when you die you push up the da*****

9:01 am

Haz1558

Braiding my hair? It's not been long enough for that for years.

9:01 am

Haz1558

Quisling was a nasty Norwegian.

9:01 am

Vicuna

Greetings and felicitations, oh Sparkly One.

9:02 am

Vicuna

What's the news, Ata?

9:02 am

Atalante

best friend was getting her first short story published at the end of July. but the book has come out early and when I went into a bookshop in Canterbury they had copies. So I have her first published work. She's a real author now!

9:02 am

Atalante

and spangle is nearly in the grid

9:02 am

lexleeanne

WOW cool!

9:02 am

Vicuna

OH, I remember when you said it was accepted. That's so cool to have it real and solid in your hands!

9:02 am

Haz1558

It would be a red letter day to have spangle in the grid.

9:02 am

Atalante

its just so coool!

9:02 am

lexleeanne

9:03 am

Haz1558

You can be really smug today, Atalante.

9:04 am

Haz1558

Gulp.

9:04 am

BzznBea

Oh, Haz, that made me start looking for my pups name as his starts with Q.

9:04 am

Vicuna

Hold onto your jugular, Haz!

9:05 am

Atalante

very pretty vampires though!

9:05 am

Haz1558

And I don't even keep any garlic in the house, either.

9:05 am

Vicuna

Ata, that is where we differ! I like nice boys more than pretty boys! lol

9:05 am

Vicuna

Admittedly nice AND pretty would be ideal...

9:06 am

Atalante

these are generally pretty and nice :)

9:07 am

Vicuna

Phew.

9:08 am

Scrabbler

Congrats to your friend, Ata!

9:08 am

BzznBea

This grid is hard!

9:09 am

Can you name-drop by proxy? 'I know someone whose best friend has published a book?'

9:10 am

Atalante

9:10 am

9:14 am

Vicuna

Buy stocks in the Malaysian Ice Co. right now, LadyNatts!

9:15 am

LadyNatts

LOL Vicuna... does it even exist?

9:15 am

Scrabbler

Stay hydrated, Natts, and get hosed down often.

9:15 am

Vicuna

Well, if it does, it'll be quite a coincidence, as I just made it up!

9:16 am

LadyNatts

I'm mostly naked, with a portable a/c unit in my bedroom, and I am still too hot

9:16 am

Vicuna

Must go have a book read to me. Back later, I suppose, although I must say my enthusiasm for this grid has waned.

9:25 am

Scrabbler

Is he alive, Natts?

9:26 am

Haz1558

And all because he's going to see his mother?

9:26 am

Vicuna

Daughter is singing "you've got a friend" incessantly, so I've got about all the singing I can handle already.

9:35 am

SharonRA

9:35 am

Vicuna

Sometimes is gets a little bit of "raindrops on roses" mixed in with it, too.

9:36 am

Vicuna

Oh no, SharonRA. She doesn't care about that!

just because I'm lazy and like reading all my blogs through livejournal, which takes rss feeds from other blog sites

2:23 pm

pugmama763

re8 clue please??(my last 8)

2:23 pm

FMitch

What does rss actually "do"

2:23 pm

Vicuna

Well, FM, herding 10 little kids around is not really my idea of the perfect way to spend an afternoon... But it went fine, and I think all the children had a good time.

2:24 pm

Atalante

its a web feed format that converts all sorts of different feeds into ones recognisable by most feed readers

2:24 pm

FMitch

pug - I give someone elses job to you to do.

2:24 pm

Jacula

I'll check later, Ata. However, I've had to make the blog by invitation only so I doubt I can do RSS.

2:24 pm

Vicuna

re8 - to alocate again

2:24 pm

Vicuna

*allocate

2:24 pm

pugmama763

aha!!! ty guys!

2:25 pm

2:26 pm

Vicuna

Hello again, Haz.

2:26 pm

FMitch

Good evening Haz

2:26 pm

Atalante

its useful to have so that people can read ones blog however they choose, through internet sites, mail programmes etc

2:27 pm

Haz1558

Hello again!

2:27 pm

Atalante

hi haz!

2:27 pm

Haz1558

Now I'll need to read the chat log to see what I've missed.

2:28 pm

Atalante

not the chog?

2:28 pm

Uneaixoise

no8 not legit

2:28 pm

Vicuna

Oh, don't worry Haz. I don't think there's been any mayhem without you.

2:28 pm

Haz1558

Why use one word when you can use two.

2:28 pm

Uniquity

Plenty of mayhem, don't listen to them. They lie.

2:28 pm

FMitch

Is it time for meyhem now then?

2:29 pm

Vicuna

I mean "Oh, do not worry, Haz. I do not think there ha been any mayhem with out you."

2:29 pm

Vicuna

*looks affronted*

2:29 pm

Haz1558

My sister has just texted to say that she's in Centre Court at Wimbledon!

2:29 pm

Atalante

oh WOW! lucky her!

2:29 pm

Uneaixoise

you're kidding!

2:29 pm

Uneaixoise

wow!!

2:29 pm

Vicuna

Sure, FM. Would you like to start the mayhem ball rolling?

2:30 pm

Haz1558

She's gone over for a couple of days, queued up, spent some time on Henman Hill and has now got in.

2:30 pm

FMitch

Ah was she the one screaming in the middle?

2:30 pm

Haz1558

She has grey hair, is small and will not be wearing a Scots Jimmy wig.

2:30 pm

Atalante

she timed it right!

2:30 pm

FMitch

I can't find my How to Create Meyhem book anywhere :(

2:31 pm

Atalante

what an amazing match

2:31 pm

Haz1558

Didn't she just? She only started queuing this afternoon.

2:31 pm

Boobear

clue for me 8 please

2:31 pm

Vicuna

Must have lost it during the last round of mayhem. I keep mine tied around my wrist with a string.

2:31 pm

pugmama763

plural me6 booo

2:32 pm

FMitch

me 8 builds from the 6 and 7 I clued a little earlier

2:32 pm

Vicuna

me8 - pl of me6/27, which is short for Margaret + donkey

2:32 pm

Haz1558

I was sure he (Murray) was out of it but he's revived up again nicely.

2:32 pm

Atalante

*if* he wins this, he can win anything

2:32 pm

Vicuna

or maybe a portmanteau word meaning really large tush

2:33 pm

lexleeanne

thanks vic

2:33 pm

FMitch

loool Vi thats great

2:33 pm

Haz1558

Now come on, first he would have to beat Nadal, then Federer.

2:33 pm

Atalante

I love the BBC. reorganise the whole BBC1 schedule for andy murray

2:33 pm

Atalante

I'm being optimistic

2:33 pm

Haz1558

I know. BBC1 is no more.

2:33 pm

hamilton

some of these words are just plain stupid...the whole exercise is a darn waste of time

2:34 pm

Haz1558

Bye hamilton.

2:34 pm

hamilton

i give up (anyway I am uselessat it)

2:34 pm

Haz1558

Phone.

2:34 pm

Atalante

unfortunately, stupid words are still valid words. see Vi's profile

2:34 pm

Vicuna

So *someone* read my mini tirade! lol

2:34 pm

lexleeanne

oh ham - try again

2:34 pm

lexleeanne

oh ham - try again

2:35 pm

danf63

i read it Vi...

2:35 pm

icepyro

I always read the profiles of eccentric people

2:35 pm

icepyro

=D

2:35 pm

Vicuna

lol. The owl is working!

2:36 pm

hamilton

the most eccentric person is the one who created babble

2:37 pm

Atalante

poor DrG

2:37 pm

Vicuna

Well, it's meant to be fun, hamilton, so if you aren't enjoying it, it is indeed a waste of time.

2:37 pm

cybernan

*!*~*!* ta da *!*~*!* - thankjs for the help :)

2:37 pm

icepyro

actualy the biggest problem with babble is it is using a rather old (in todays standards) dictionary list so some of the words have been dropped form todays dictionary

2:38 pm

FMitch

Congrats cnan!

2:38 pm

hamilton

I agree Ice

2:38 pm

Vicuna

The Enable dictionary is certainly eccentric.

2:38 pm

cybernan

I don't object to the archaic words, but I do object to the foreign language ones!

2:38 pm

Vicuna

yay for cybernan!

2:38 pm

hamilton

my point entirely vicuna

2:38 pm

Vicuna

I don't object to either so much as the inconsistency.

2:39 pm

hurshy

i think we object more to the words that should be here but aren't

2:39 pm

Haz1558

I agree with Vicuna. If you don't enjoy it, hamilton, that's fine. Don't waste your time with it. Those of us who do enjoy it have a different point of view. Both equally valid.

2:39 pm

hamilton

that too

2:39 pm

hamilton

sure Haz

2:39 pm

Vicuna

But see, hamilton, we all do enjoy it, so it isn't a waste of time for us. (Or at least, not in the same sense!)

2:39 pm

hurshy

course you can enjoy the game and also enjoy griping about enable

2:39 pm

cybernan

lunch time -- anyone need clues before I go?

2:39 pm

Vicuna

mmmm.... lunch....

2:40 pm

hamilton

I'll leave you all in peace...enjoy it!

2:40 pm

cybernan

I think we like to gripe about a lot more than enable, hurshy -- lol

2:40 pm

Haz1558

Thanks hamilton - have a good day!

2:40 pm

cybernan

bye hamilton

2:40 pm

Vicuna

Bye, hamilton. Good luck finding a more congenial way to waste your time! =)

2:40 pm

pugmama763

I would love the fr6/27-7/40 pair clued please nan???

2:41 pm

Vicuna

Very true, cybernan.

2:41 pm

Vicuna

And I shall start with the packaging of my new socks.

2:41 pm

lexleeanne

SUPER cartwheelies for cybernan!!!!

2:41 pm

cybernan

fr 6-7: french strawberry (s)

2:41 pm

Vicuna

They come in a ziplock bag. It even proudly proclaimed "resealable bag." but why?

2:42 pm

cybernan

lol vicuna

2:42 pm

Uniquity

Has anyone developed a functioning time machine yet? If so, I wouldn't mind it being an hour and twenty minutes from now, thanks. Or you could all pop by and buy some books from me. I hate dead days.

2:42 pm

pugmama763

sorry don't know the referenc dear , dummy clue?

2:42 pm

Vicuna

It isn't as if I need to take out one pair at a time and reseal the others for freshness until I'm ready.

2:42 pm

cybernan

f + bring up (as in children)

2:42 pm

Uniquity

cyber, I was thrilled when I typed in that fr word and it worked!

2:43 pm

FMitch

Uni do you have a copy of The Pajama Girls of Lambert Square in stock?

2:43 pm

pugmama763

ty vm!

2:43 pm

Atalante

I hope your fine establishment will buy in "The Mammoth Book of Vampire Romance"

2:43 pm

Vicuna

Or is there something about proper sock use that I've been missing all these years?

2:43 pm

Uniquity

Alas, FM, we are lacking girls in pajamas. You could come in and vaguely describe a book title and I could try to help you though :)

2:43 pm

FMitch

Vi you are not ready yet to know That Secret!

2:43 pm

cybernan

having a passing knowledge of french, hebrew, japanese, latin and spanish does help in this game!

2:44 pm

FMitch

lol cnan, so true.

2:44 pm

Vicuna

Well, that's fair enough, FM. As long as I know there IS a reason.

2:44 pm

Vicuna

But not German. Enable doesn't give a hoot about German.

2:44 pm

Haz1558

It accepts Heil.

2:45 pm

Haz1558

And hosen.

2:45 pm

cybernan

off to make my lunch -- back at the flip :)

2:45 pm

Vicuna

true, and fuehrer, I think.

2:45 pm

Uniquity

But not hoser. I guess Canadian is unacceptable.

2:45 pm

Haz1558

And that one as well.

2:45 pm

Vicuna

But hosen is archaic English, not German in this instance, I suspect.

2:46 pm

Haz1558

But they'll have got it from the Germans.

2:46 pm

Uniquity

English is a germanic language...

2:46 pm

Haz1558

I wonder if enable would accept schadenfreude?

2:46 pm

Vicuna

And with Portuguese for mister, for goodness sake, yet they don't take Herr!

2:46 pm

Atalante

deutschland deustchland über alles ...

2:46 pm

icepyro

yes haz

2:46 pm

Vicuna

ooooh, that'd be some word if it did, Haz!

2:46 pm

FMitch

It does Haz

2:46 pm

Haz1558

It does! I tried it in add word and it says it doesn't exist in the puzzle - therefore it must be in the dictionary.

2:47 pm

ajv74

Hello, all! I'm back. Have to remember to send that e-mail immediately after midnight, that's alittle over an hour from now...

2:47 pm

Haz1558

Let us hope with a sincere hope that some day, we'll have schadenfreude in the grid.

2:47 pm

hurshy

lol

2:47 pm

icepyro

what does it mean haz?

2:47 pm

Vicuna

Well, the day that word is in the grid, Haz, I will send you a gift.

2:47 pm

Haz1558

It means having pleasure in another's misfortune.

2:47 pm

icepyro

I suspect that if that word was in the grid, there would be very few words that day

2:47 pm

Uniquity

I can feel first year university flooding back as we speak..

2:48 pm

Atalante

a gift full of schadenfreude?

2:48 pm

flosey

hello again, hmmm Haz, sounds like my m-i-l

2:48 pm

Vicuna

Nope, a gift full of echte Freude!

2:48 pm

Haz1558

Is she a charmer, flosey?

2:48 pm

flosey

pugmama763

Echte Freude is more like it, Vicuna.

2:49 pm

hurshy

ag6?

2:49 pm

ajv74

Very interesting conversation here...

2:49 pm

Haz1558

That's the second time today I've put my foot in it about dead mothers-in-law.

2:49 pm

Vicuna

ca6/27 - more like actor Nicolas, or shrewder

2:49 pm

Atalante

2:51 pm

icepyro

2:51 pm

flosey

2:51 pm

Haz1558

My mother-in-law is also dead.

2:52 pm

lexleeanne

mine lives here and I may KILL her

2:52 pm

Atalante

its because we finally have someone who really *could* win Wimbledon. Tim Henman doesn't count

2:52 pm

hurshy

ca6 (the last)?

2:52 pm

lexleeanne

no really it is usually fine

2:53 pm

Vicuna

la5/14 - la + what's good for the goose is good for the ---der

2:53 pm

pugmama763

ca6--c + donkey + china is is as**

2:53 pm

Haz1558

ca6/21 - looks as if it's heading towards being a flavouring then ends in a vowel instead.

2:53 pm

flosey

thanks Vicuna

2:53 pm

hurshy

2:54 pm

pugmama763

2:55 pm

icepyro

Im sure once I get the word I will understand the clue

2:56 pm

I was thinking it was like French blackcurrant.

2:56 pm

pugmama763

this grid is a life sucking whore!

2:56 pm

Atalante

not sex*** or size*** but ag***

2:56 pm

Vicuna

2:56 pm

Vicuna

oh, ag5? Yeah, ag + classic prejudice (or belief) ending

2:56 pm

icepyro

I think the next book i read will be a dictionary just so I can get better at this

2:57 pm

icepyro

OH I didnt even see that ending! thx ata

2:57 pm

icepyro

and vic

2:57 pm

flosey

it might put you to sleep ice

2:57 pm

Haz1558

That's the spirit, ice. That's where hamilton slipped up.

2:57 pm

Atalante

its a tricksy ending to notice

2:57 pm

Vicuna

Gee whiz there are a lot of me6/21's.

2:58 pm

icepyro

Oh I spent the first few days here complaining about the words Haz, I'm just more determined to learn and finish than ham was I suppose

2:59 pm

Haz1558

The fact that you came back again shows that there's hope for the addiction to grow.

2:59 pm

Vicuna

Complaining about the words is le5/14 and acceptable. Complaining about the entire game doesn't make much sense.

3:00 pm

Atalante

you just have to give in to the notion that there will be weird words

3:00 pm

Vicuna

Ours not to reason why.
Ours but to do and ... cry.

3:00 pm

Haz1558

And to the notion that there are words you don't know.

3:00 pm

Atalante

but whatever dictionary ones uses, there would be weird words

3:00 pm

lexleeanne

you are either a word puzzler or you aren't

3:00 pm

FMitch

Its all part of the weird and wonderful world of Babble and thats all!

3:01 pm

FMitch

Time for me to fade into the background and recharge batteries

3:01 pm

It's pretty tense - they can't play for much longer, surely?

3:25 pm

me6 (3rd to last) sounds like a German (or not) disease
