12:24 am
nbjasmine
and hello all!
12:24 am
stidmama
a person who doesn't speak english would initially be at a disadvantage, but would eventually learn (as we all do) that some words are there... and could monkey like we do for the rest
12:25 am
SamanthaJoy
It's definitely limited by who speaks English; I hunted for it in French and couldn't find it
12:25 am
stidmama
I don't know how many countries are represented though.
12:25 am

1Mar, you wouldn't believe the weather we are having. Toasting hot, then rain, then hail, thunderstorms, more rain as in downpours, etc.
1:31 am
jillibus
sprite, for hundreds of years the French in Quebec were totally dominated by the church and I guess that was their way of rebelling. Other swear words (English version) are "tabernacle" and "chalice" that I know of, and like our "darn" or "dang" instead of "damn", they change them to "taberouette" or "calinne-de-binne" and such.
1:32 am
sprite
I really think that is fascinating, jilli. Do you think we can have a swear word icon theme... or would that be too much? :)
1:32 am
Just1Mar
they say fu** a lot now jilli but I don't even think they know what it means ...sort of a fait'que

Holy mackinaw, there, sprite!

1:41 am
rururocks
I am surprised Celine didn't sue you Gwen
1:41 am
Book Doctor Gwen
From my files: "If you can't afford your very own Edsel, here's your chance to own a piece of automotive history that is almost as notorious. Chrysler reportedly found that its use of Celine as a celebrity spokeswoman was a sales disaster and discontinued the campaign less than a year after launch, even though the two had signed a lucrative 3-year deal."

rururocks

3:26 am

3:28 am

G'd morning Haz. how goeth this grid?
4:07 am
Haz1558
It's pretty nice so far. No need for pouty faces as yet.
4:08 am
LoriP
Ewwwwww, r'es. Hope it's not 2, too many. ***pouty face***
4:08 am
LoriP
lolol, how'd ya' know a pouty face was coming?
4:09 am
Haz1558
Good gracious. It doesn't take much to get you a pouting does it? Think of the re words as a chance to revisit a word another time.
4:09 am
Haz1558
(taken from the Pollyanna book of babbling)
4:09 am
LoriP
re words are leftovers, stale, IMO :-)
4:10 am
Haz1558
Not the sentimental type, eh?
4:12 am
LoriP
***what a devoted group, I can hear the concentration***
4:13 am
Haz1558
Maybe they're just steadfastly ignoring the possibility of silliness.
4:13 am
LoriP
A wise decision....
4:14 am
Haz1558
They're lying low, assuming the defensive under the desk position.
4:14 am
Haz1558
I know that position well.
4:14 am
LoriP
Don't we all?
4:15 am
LoriP
Words from the bottom row are not leaping at me. More coffee perhaps...
4:15 am
Haz1558
I've found that if you keep a supply of edibles available, it can be held for a considerable time. Catheter provision helps also.
4:15 am
LoriP
Preparedness is the key.
4:16 am
Haz1558
Baden Powell may have been the forerunner to babbling under cover. 'Be prepared' and all that.

***down FM, down girl...*** :p
4:21 am
Haz1558
It's nice to see a big grid, FM, you're right. But if you don't sit still, you'll never get it finished.

Yah yah, from one fibber to another may i say, "sure you will"
4:22 am
Haz1558
Husband and I are seeing it as a wonderful opportunity to get rid of stuff. She is more sentimental and is bemoaning ruined LPs and things.
4:23 am
carleekat
that was the first "word" I saw too fm
4:23 am

well seeing as it doesn like internet blog obviously has not been invented in enable wolrd yet :(
4:27 am
carleekat
more then likely
4:27 am

That was my reaction to the introduction in Britain of the Lottery. 'Give it a couple of weeks'.
4:28 am
FMitch
Ha! you mean there was something you weren't right about?
4:28 am
Haz1558
Apparently so.
4:28 am
Haz1558
I try to keep it quiet though.
4:28 am
FMitch
Haz not Ha, one rather more emphatic than I meant
4:29 am
LoriP
Haz is always modest. ;p

Oh, I'd have gone with the 'Ha!' as well.

(Keeping Jac's rope handy just in case)
4:31 am
LoriP
Yea for FM! Now Haz, 'yer good, but hardly in a league with ATA Hari. She has it to a science.
4:31 am
Haz1558
Well, this is true. She's younger than me as well, so there's built in smug right from the start.
4:32 am
carleekat
wow...2 of them even
4:32 am
Haz1558
AND she knows science things.
4:32 am
Jacula
I see the God of Love has escaped FM's clutches!
4:32 am
Haz1558
It was a narrow escape.
4:33 am
mrpresident
and the st9 thinks it is hard to find.
4:33 am

4:44 am
FMitch
whats the 1st 2 letters carlee?

That's a relief. If you'd stalled at 100 we'd have had to have a judicial enquiry.

some of these words are as uncommon as pulling one's peepee out at the dinner table and checking it for scabs... but I digress... time for tea me thinks

*Completely gone off the idea of breakfast now. Can't think why!*
4:49 am

4:50 am
FMitch
Bad me, forgot about breakfast this morning but funnily enough not hungry now either.
4:50 am
Jacula
Haz - Hopefully not.
4:51 am
Haz1558
It would make for short dinners.
4:52 am
Haz1558
Just reread the statement - it's uncommon. We can head to the Antipodes with safety.

4:54 am

Thanks Haz. Just spotted that and plural.
4:55 am

It's so strange - you can look at the grid for ages and suddenly - there they are.
4:55 am

I started dong some embrioderyagain over the last 2 weeks, 1st time in a couple of years.
4:55 am
Haz1558
Good for you!

Are you enjoying it? Do you feel rusty or does it all come back easily?

(Sigh of contentment at the memory of Borg at Wimbledon). Jacula - I saw him in the flesh in Belfast when he played in the Legends Tour. He's still handsome. He gave me a special smile.
4:57 am
Haz1558
The sort of wistful smile that said 'If only.... but it was not to be.....'
4:57 am
Jacula
LOL, Haz. Sure.
4:58 am
Haz1558
My George Clooney lapel badge may have had something to do with it.
4:58 am
FMitch
HAve a look at my icon for the one I am working on now.
4:59 am
Haz1558
Can somebody get the smelling salts? I'm feeling faint at the thought of the effort and skill involved.
5:00 am
Jacula
What... for the sewing Haz?
5:00 am
Haz1558
What size is it? Inches, please, none of your foreign centimetres.
5:00 am
FMitch
Where's cait when you need her first aid bag?
5:00 am
FMitch
Umm about 11" across
5:00 am
Jacula
Postlady's just been, bringing my daughter's Reading tickets - PHEW! and a postcard from Haz.
5:00 am
Haz1558
God lbess the British postmen.
5:01 am
Haz1558
That's a lot of sewing, Fmitch.
5:01 am
Jacula
It's a postwoman, Haz. I'm going to read your card now.
5:01 am
Haz1558
Mine's a postwoman as well. Is there a conspiracy?
5:03 am
Jacula
LOL, maybe. The card's postmarked Belfast, I see. I'd probably still be waiting for it in 6 months if you'd sent it from Africa.
5:03 am
FMitch
lol Haz in'st just a pretty face!
5:03 am
Jacula
Thanks Haz. I'll put it on my wall.
5:03 am
LoriP
Holy cow. First sweep was more like a light dusting. I am crushed. ***pouty face***
5:03 am
Jacula
(The postcard that it, not Haz's face.)
5:03 am
Haz1558
Exactly. The place didn't give me any confidence in the postal system so I bought the cards there and posted them here. It's a cheat, I know.
5:04 am
FMitch
Awe Lori, put your bottom lip away.
5:04 am
Haz1558
There's that pouty face again, Lori. Some day the wind will change and you'll be stuck like that.
5:04 am
Haz1558
It happened to Posh Spice and it could happen to you!
5:05 am
LoriP
There's a scary thought.....
5:05 am
FMitch
Just to give advanced warning I am poofing at 11.15.
5:05 am
Haz1558
She wants to have another baby. And if she can't she'll adopt. Not that it's fashionable or anything.
5:05 am
Jacula
That comment took me back to childhood, Haz. LOL
5:06 am
Haz1558
Did your mother threaten you with that as well? I got threats of working in the mill if I ever claimed that I didn't want to go to school. Or pictures of mother in jail.
5:07 am
FMitch
My Mum used to threaten me saying that if I didn't study I would end up working at Woolworths
5:07 am
Haz1558
Note taken of imminent poofing from FMItch. Sympathise your watches everyone.
5:07 am
LoriP
Good lord. Bottom i was that hideous bird. DENSA
5:07 am
Haz1558
Working at Woolworths would have been okay if you'd be able to get near the Pick and Mix.
5:08 am
Jacula
Yes. Also got told 'the school board man' would 'get me'. The cha[ in question was tall and thin, and wore a long, dark mac. We kids were terrified when we spotted him. I'm thinking now that it was probably the man to read the gas meter in reality. *blushes*
5:08 am
LoriP
My version is telling the kids "do you want fries with that?" if tehy don't study hard.
5:08 am
Haz1558
(Smug - having recently been to East Africa in the company of twitchers, I got it....)
5:09 am
LoriP
lol Jac. Mom's are a creative lot, aren't they?
5:09 am
FMitch
I say, Haz is gunning for Atas smug medal
5:09 am
Haz1558
I don't think I ever had to use any threats with my girls. What a shame - I could have let the imagination run riot.
5:09 am
Jacula
Yes, Lori, but it's embarrasing when you only cotton on at the age of 51!
5:09 am
LoriP
Our sarcasm has prob'ally scarred the spawnlings irreparably.
5:10 am
FMitch
My Mum was a teacher which was really unfair, I couldn't get away with anything.
5:10 am
Haz1558
A teacher at your own school?
5:10 am
Jacula
You had a very tough childhood then FM!
5:10 am
FMitch
No thank goodness, that would have been TOO much
5:10 am
LoriP
eek, I empathise FM. My sister is 18 years older, and actually taught me for a few weeks in grade 5 (substitute) it was mortifying.
5:11 am
mrpresident
found the connoisseur icecream ...
5:11 am
MonkeyGames
Well, I'm over halfway through. Good time to get on with stuff like measuring for a new bike inner tube. Have fun all!
5:11 am
Haz1558
Did you pretend not to know her, Lori?
5:11 am
FMitch
Hi and bye MG
5:11 am
Haz1558
LIterally, mr president? Are you licking your lips?
5:11 am
Jacula
When I started school a girl in my reception class was the daughter of our teacher. She used to reply, 'Yes Mummy' when her name was called on the register. Bet that wouldn't be allowed these days.
5:11 am
mrpresident
in my freezer that is :D Lickety was hiding it
5:11 am
LoriP
I tried, but got reprimanded by her AND Mom. Not good.
5:12 am
Haz1558
LIckety is a man after my own heart. I have taken to hiding food occasionally but husband always discovers it.
5:12 am
Jacula
'Bye Monkey.
5:12 am
Jacula
Haz - ditto re the food hiding.
5:13 am
Haz1558
I sometimes wonder if he gets Spangle on the case.
5:13 am
Haz1558
'Seek, Spangle, seek!'
5:13 am
Jacula
He found my Ben & Jerry's Phish icecream.
5:13 am
LoriP
Put it in the dryer. Nobody ever looks there, since it's an appliance that involves chores.
5:13 am
Jacula
Lori - it'd melt!
5:14 am
Haz1558
But that's the problem with freezer stuff, isn't it?
5:14 am
LoriP
Chips don't...... :-)
5:14 am
FMitch
sheesh, I have not been able to find a single u yet, think that means I should go and do other things.
5:14 am
mrpresident
I have to mix my own icecream up with pistachio and caramel, then freeze it again...
5:14 am
Haz1558
I have tried putting things in containers on top of the kitchen cupboards but he still finds them.
5:14 am
Jacula
We need a hidden freezer compartment.
5:14 am
LoriP
Noooooo! Don't go
5:14 am
FMitch
Lori ear, I did give notice of departure some 10 mins ago :)
5:14 am
Haz1558
The State with a different letter ending!
5:14 am
Jacula
Maybe they could make tumble dryers with them added on?
5:15 am
LoriP
yah, but I ignored it, so it doesn't count. :-)
5:15 am
FMitch
Happy Babbling all and see you later.
5:15 am
Haz1558
Lori ear - is this a new condition? To go with pouty mouth?
5:15 am
Haz1558
See you FMitch.
5:16 am
mrpresident
bye fm
5:16 am
LoriP
***pouts good bye to FM***
5:16 am
Haz1558
Darn. recycle lorry here....
5:17 am
Haz1558
I made it. I don't know whether Spangle was barking at the noise of the lorry or at the sight of me haring down the drive.
5:18 am
Jacula
Our bin lorry hasn't arrived yet. If it arrives now, the lad I can see leaning on our bin to do a text might well end up in the chute!
5:19 am
Haz1558
Wouldn't that be fun?
5:19 am
Jacula
Don't tempt me to go out and tip him in! Grins.
5:20 am
Haz1558
Oh go on. Just for the laugh. And the assault charge and subsequent headlines in the local paper.
5:20 am
Jacula
One way to hit the headlines, I guess.:-)
5:21 am
Scrabbler
Hello all. I see that Jacula is about to commit a crime.
5:21 am
Jacula
Actually, my name (real name) has been up in lights. It was a book and a film.
5:21 am
Jacula
(Elmore Leonard)
5:21 am
Haz1558
I spend my life trying to avoid the headlines.
5:21 am
Haz1558
Hello Scrabbler.
5:22 am
Jacula
Hi Scrabbs. Drat! The lad's moved on. He must have sensed our intentions.
5:22 am
Haz1558
If you get a trenchcoat and trilby hat on and follow him from a safe distance, he'll not suspect a thing.
5:22 am
Scrabbler
People focused on texting messages are oblivious to their surroundings.
5:22 am
Jacula
Must be difficult, Haz, when you go out with George.
5:22 am
mrpresident
I will have to have the icecream tub surgically removed now... bbs
5:23 am
Scrabbler
Hazel has a great plan.
5:23 am
Haz1558
That's why we mostly stay home, Jacula.
5:23 am
Haz1558
See you later, mrp.
5:25 am
Scrabbler
The paparazzi ruin everything, don't they, Hazel.
5:25 am
Haz1558
They do, Scrabbler, they do.
5:26 am
Haz1558
(For those who don't know, Scrabbler is delusional. She thinks George Clooney is her fiance. Try to be kind to her.)
5:27 am
Jacula
Ah, ahem. Okay. *Pats Scrabbs kindly.*
5:27 am
Haz1558
It's really sad. She's a doctor and everything but nothing can shake her from the delusion. Not even the reality that George stays in my understairs cupboard.
5:27 am
Scrabbler
I quietly snuck out of bed and left him sleeping.
5:28 am
crosshair
rabbits!!! lol morning ladies:)
5:29 am
Haz1558
Of course you did. And have you had your pink pills this morning?

Perhaps *GASP* we are both delusional. It is difficult to face reality.
5:29 am

Morning Cross.

I'll try to contain my mirth, Scrabbler. Nobody could think such a thing.

Good morning crosshair.

my da aways said not to worry about when you finally go over the edge cause you wont know when it happens anyways
5:32 am

True, it's others looking on who have the problems.

8:51 am
Sheimi492

Sheimi492

8:52 am
owtytrof
yeah, not sure how my cursor got up here, though :/
8:52 am
Sheimi492

8:52 am
Sheimi492
yeah thats what i would like to know
8:52 am
Sheimi492
i mean i never click on the chat log, i click on babble, and sometimes it puts my words on the chat instead. weird!

Boobear

Sheimi492
i havent been on here for too long. i signed up a couple of days ago, and i am getting better. i just need more practise on getting my brain to concentrate. it has a slight tendency to wander off somewhere else when i try to do so. this is why i have troubles with games such as these lol i shall have to get a leash for my brain heehee
8:54 am
Boobear
hi flosey
8:56 am
flosey
Sheimi, I often have to ignore chat in order to try to complete the larger grids
8:56 am
Sheimi492
i just feel that chatting makes it better, because then i can ask clues and that
8:56 am
Sheimi492
it makes me concentrate more lol
8:56 am
flosey
oh yes, it's always open
8:58 am
Judi
Good morning, Babbleologists. E-GADS! Tis a large grid for the middle of the week.

Judi
Morning, Haz!
9:09 am
Haz1558
Hello there - enjoying the grid?
9:10 am
Jescer
I am actaully. It is just starting to slow down for me though, 170 words left
9:10 am
Judi
Pfft. Oh yeah. Joy and bliss.
9:10 am
flosey
need another coffee to help finish up here
9:11 am
Haz1558
That's the spirit, Judi.
9:11 am
Uneaixoise
thinking of going to the list with 69 to go . . .
9:11 am
Haz1558
You've stuck it out well, Une. I was on earlier and still have a bit to go.
9:11 am
Jescer
Good going une. I know I will have to hit the list sooner than that!
9:12 am
harpjane
is the sc8 a common word?
9:12 am
Haz1558
But I'm experiencing the fresh eyes phenomenon.
9:12 am
Uneaixoise
at least these are words I've HEARD of--unlike some from yesterday! LOL
9:12 am
Haz1558
It's probably common in a dermatology textbook, harpjane.
9:12 am
Jescer
I love the fresh eyes phenomenon
9:13 am
harpjane
thanks, that helps!
9:13 am
Haz1558
It lulls you into a false sense of security, though (the fresh eyes thing) - you think it's plain sailing from here on, but reality hits eventually.
9:14 am
Haz1558
Well done, harpjane.
9:14 am
Judi
Ooh. Just semi-monkeyed the sc8. Also found an St9. *strutting*
9:14 am
Jescer
Good job Judi and harp
9:14 am
Haz1558
Get Judi.

Boobear

9:18 am
Uneaixoise
ar + vowel + french word for "we"
9:19 am
harpjane
does the no6/18 build from the 4?
9:19 am
Judi
Ah! Wanted to go with the french clue, but couldn't remember if the ending was we or our. Mon dieu!
9:20 am
Uneaixoise
judi LOL!
9:20 am
FMitch
If this had been 'Babble en Francais' I would have found so many words!
Hello all :)
9:20 am
Haz1558
It ends in shortened female sibling, sis.
9:20 am
Uneaixoise
hey, fmitch!
9:20 am
joshuavorbis
good morning all
9:20 am
Haz1558
NOOOOOOO. I meant to say harpjane..
9:20 am
Haz1558
Hello FMitch.
9:20 am
FMitch
Hi Une! andHaz and all
9:20 am
Judi
And... Merde! One year of French class is not very helpful when it comes to Babble.
9:21 am
Haz1558
Have you been working hard, FMitch? (travailing dur)
9:21 am
FMitch
lol Judi.
Ignoring franglais, yes ahve been very productive (must have been that caffine)
9:22 am
Haz1558
I'm just glad you stopped bouncing around long enough to get things done.
9:22 am
Judi
Personally, I speak fractured froglish.
9:22 am
Uneaixoise
reminds me of Art Buchwald's annual essay at Thanksgiving: Le Jour du Merci Donnant
9:22 am
FMitch
Well it gave me the boost I needed, been a tad unmotivated last couple of days.
9:23 am
Haz1558
You get days like that.
9:24 am
FMitch
Head is spinning from counting tile values...
needless to say Thank goodness for Lickety!
9:24 am
flosey
does anyone have a clue for the last ur6 word please?
9:25 am
Haz1558
I've succumbed as well. Fresh eyes phenomenon was okay for a while.
9:25 am
Judi
Plural of the ur5, Flosey.
9:25 am
Haz1558
flosey, finish off the word with a bit of a twitch
9:25 am
FMitch
flosey change the vowel from the 6/24 you already have
9:25 am
Uneaixoise
i have a ur6/21 verb and a ur6/24 adjective
9:25 am
FMitch
there are 2 x 6/24
9:26 am
Uneaixoise
thanks, fmitch!

Haz1558
Any excuse...
9:28 am
FMitch
ea right .. any excuse for a little eye candy
9:28 am
flosey
have the twitch word Haz, it's the one after that I'm missing
9:28 am
FMitch
flosey just change the vowel - alt sp possibly
9:28 am
Haz1558
Two of the words end in a twitch, they differ only in the vowel used in third position, flosey.
9:29 am
flosey
ok, thanks Haz
9:29 am
Boobear
clue for ar 6 please
9:29 am
Haz1558
You're welcome, flosey.
9:30 am
FMitch
pl of the 5 Boo
9:30 am
Haz1558
ar6 plurals the preceding ar5/10 - ar plus French summer.
9:31 am
FMitch
Considering there are 2 x re sets of tiles, there aren't that many actual re words I am glad to say
9:32 am
Haz1558
So no need for Lori to pout at all?
9:32 am
FMitch
Ah wel .. me thinks she will pout just out of habit, she enjoys it :)
9:33 am
Haz1558
It's her trademark now, I suppose.
9:35 am
FMitch
Came across a great word today - not in the grid btw:
fossicking, means (sort of) to search with a profit in mind - as in .. I was fossicking at the car boot fair last weekend :)
9:35 am
flosey
going to walk out to get the paper, perhaps will help clear my head
9:36 am
Haz1558
See you later, flosey.
9:36 am
FMitch
Bye flosey
9:36 am
flosey
have been staring at grid too long
9:36 am
Haz1558
Where did you come across fossicking?
9:37 am
FMitch
In the weekender TV guide of all places
9:37 am
Haz1558
It's a new one on me, but I like the sound of it.
9:38 am
FMitch
Its an Aussie word according to online dict
9:38 am
SharonRA
hows about an ar 7
9:38 am
FMitch
I am going to try to remember it as I do enjoy a good fossick on a Sunday morning *grin*
9:39 am
Haz1558
EIther something that appears in a magazine in definite or indefinite form (ar7/32) or ar7/32 - verb form of to be, followed by French we, or English common sense.
9:39 am
FMitch
Haven't got that one yet Sharon
9:39 am
Haz1558
An Aussie word? That's interesting, it sounds like old English.
9:40 am
BzznBea
Count for the Os, please/
9:40 am
FMitch
mmm.. brb will look it up in my Ocford history of words dict
9:40 am
SharonRA

9:41 am
harpjane

9:41 am
Haz1558

9:42 am
BzznBea
LO6 - to hang around
9:43 am
BzznBea
Second letter of the Os in the top right corner, please?
9:43 am
Uneaixoise

9:43 am
Haz1558
no6/18 - it ends in a shortened female sibling, reached by means of a vowel.
9:43 am
FMitch

9:43 am
harpjane

9:43 am
Haz1558
You're welcome, harp.
9:43 am
FMitch
os4 and os5 Bea
9:43 am
harpjane
they are both os words
9:44 am
BzznBea
TY again Harp.
9:44 am
Haz1558
That's interesting - so the word really does relate to a profit gained by rooting round in the right place?
9:44 am
FMitch
So it seems!
9:45 am
Haz1558
Lesson learned for the day.
9:45 am
FMitch
Oh btw 7 left (borrows Atas smug medal)
9:46 am
harpjane
i wanted ratso to be a word....
9:46 am
Haz1558
I don't think I'll overtake you unless I take on a terrific burst of speed and you slow to a complete standstill.
9:46 am
FMitch
I have tried that a number of times harp
9:47 am
lizmac
Hello everybody. Nice trip, Haz? Back to our temperate(!) shores, any flooding there?
9:47 am
FMitch
How many to go?
9:47 am
FMitch
Hi Liz, no rain today (yet) yipeee
9:47 am
Haz1558
Hello Liz! No flooding in this house, plenty in the town, though. The trip was great.
9:48 am
Pinikula
morning all...just a few mins before getting ready for work...
9:48 am
SharonRA
anytime I get smug, something comes around to bite me in the rear
9:48 am
FMitch
Very good point Sharon *drops smug medal quickly*
9:49 am
Haz1558
You need to get yourself in a suitably lofty position.
9:50 am
lizmac
A bit of a shock to the system I imagine, Haz. It'll be weeks before you feel warm again.
9:50 am
Pinikula
how's eeryone doing?
9:50 am
Haz1558
Not really - it's African winter so it wasn't unbearably hot at all, not nearly as hot as the Med at this time of the year.
9:50 am
lizmac
I'm off to Pisa next week, lucky me.
9:50 am
SharonRA
look at all those c's....good god
9:51 am
Haz1558
It WAS a bit of a shock to land in what felt like monsoon weather.
9:51 am
FMitch
.. and the g's :(
9:51 am
Haz1558
Lovely, liz. I really like Italy as well.
9:52 am
lizmac
AND Sicily in October, lucky lucky me!
9:52 am
Haz1558
Are you aiming for Ata's smug medal?
9:52 am
FMitch
I see you have Spangletina back as yr icon, may I adopt the beach as an icon if the need arises?
9:52 am
Haz1558
Watch out for men carrying violin cases.
9:53 am
Haz1558
Yes, of course you may, FMitch. Spangle is back in her rightful place.
9:53 am
lizmac
Oh, NO competition. Self appointed queen of smug, me.
9:53 am
FMitch
Lovely, liz
9:54 am
Haz1558
I reckon we may have blood on our hands if Ata and Liz get together....
9:54 am
BzznBea
RO7 is like the HO7
9:54 am
FMitch
ro7 - to act in a swaggering, boisterous, or uproarious manner
9:54 am
flosey
back refreshed - after 2 very hot days, day/night of rain, sunny and fresh today - rain much needed for garden
9:54 am
Haz1558
ro7 - have a mad time?
9:55 am
Haz1558
Glad you're clearheaded again, flosey.
9:55 am
harpjane
thanks, got the ho7 too!
9:56 am
lizmac
No, no...I'm not a violent queen of smug. Just quietly selfsatisfied.
9:56 am
movieman
icon changed!!!!!
9:56 am
flosey
there's a second ro7, any clues please?
9:57 am
FMitch
The sweet flower consumed something perhaps?
9:57 am
harpjane

10:03 am
Haz1558
Bye liz - sorry, was trying to get rid of someone on the phone.
10:04 am
BzznBea
Half way. Finding biscuit made me hungry. Later...

10:12 am
Judi
WTG, FMitch. Sigh. 85 left.

any clues for sc8 please?
10:14 am

woohoo, fmitch!!!!!!!!!!!
10:15 am
Jescer
Sorry flosey, I need it too.
10:16 am
FMitch
*doea happy dance now internect connection has stopped hic upping*
10:16 am
Haz1558
flosey - it's a dermatological term, ending in a flower, reached by the masculine French.
10:17 am
Karys
thanks Haz !!
10:17 am
Jescer
thanks Haz!
10:17 am
Haz1558
You're welcome - nice to see smiley cat, Karys!
10:17 am
Karys
good to see Spangle !
10:17 am
Dorens
fabulous clue haz thanks
10:18 am
Haz1558
Yes, she's back in her rightful position.
10:18 am
Karys
did you see the programme about the dogs last night Haz ?
10:18 am
Haz1558
Glad the clue worked, Dorens.
10:18 am
Haz1558
I did indeed. Husband (vet for nearly 30 years) had never heard of some of the conditions.
10:19 am
flosey
thanks Haz, finally got it
10:19 am
Dorens
looks like this might be the kind of grid where I need my friends....
10:19 am
flosey
almost sounds like diseased liver
10:19 am
Haz1558
There's undoubtedly a problem in some breeds, but the programme made it sound as if every pedigree dog was on its last legs.
10:19 am
Karys
I was not aware of the cavalier problem, I had one a while back, thankfully he seemed ok.
10:19 am
Dorens
or lickety's list at the very least
10:20 am
Karys
I did feel for the German Shepherds though
10:20 am
Haz1558
There's lots of nice words, Dorens but some new ones as well.
10:20 am
Haz1558
Yes - they are obviously in difficulties there.
10:21 am
Haz1558
I could see the point - breeders are trying to reach a standard based on looks. It's time that changed.
10:21 am
Karys
I have 89 to find, not gone to the list yet, but I only have 3 of the 8's
10:22 am
Karys
I think so too, the only good reason to have a pedigree that I can see, is that you will know how big what sort of temperament it should have.
10:23 am
Karys
pop and 'and' in there somewhere and it will make more sense !
10:23 am
Haz1558
Yes - they did draw the comparison between what is acceptable in working dogs and show dogs.
10:24 am
Haz1558
We knew about various problems associated with certain breeds - Spangle is working dog stock and so far all is well.
10:24 am
rururocks
last ar 7 clue? anyone.. Hi everybody.. been lurking this a.m.
10:25 am
Haz1558
ar7 - you may find a definite or indefinite one in a magazine or newspaper
10:25 am
Karys
The 'spangle' variety did not seem to show problems anyway did it ?
10:25 am
Haz1558
No - not so far.
10:25 am
rururocks
oh god.. how could I miss that?
10:26 am
Haz1558
It happens, ruru, it happens.
10:26 am
FMitch
Karys!!!!! Afternoon :)
10:26 am
Karys
was trying that with the 'f' on the front !
10:26 am
Karys
Mitch !!!...... how are you ?
10:27 am
FMitch
Long time! Fine thanks. What brings you to babble on a work day or is it hols?
10:28 am
Karys
no, just an ordinary day,but been busy all day and not finished yet, so just grabbing a few minutues before starting dinner.
10:29 am
FMitch
HAven't seen you in the log for so long! Lovely to see smiley cat again.
10:29 am
Karys
I am usually here, but in and out so much I try to keep in the 'backroom' !
10:30 am
Haz1558
She means she hides under the desk like the rest of us.
10:30 am
Karys
Indeed Haz, I am actually under the stairs !
10:30 am
Haz1558
But not with George, Karys.
10:31 am
Erda
Lost on the bottom (last) fr9 -- help please???

Take the word for non veg, move last vowel to the end and then add a word that rhymes with the feature in the middle of you face.
10:33 am
Dorens

Oh, OK. This was not explained. All right, it's been 7 hours since my second of the three for the ady, I'll take it now. They make me feel queasy and tired for half an hour or so, then that wears off. The back issues come back after around four hours, so my thinking was get the full effect to avoid stiffening up, but I vastly prefer to follow medical advice to the point of erring on the side of caution. Let me go get some crackers and water.
