8:02 am

EvaNadine

i just know it from seeing it on the internet, but i think theyre adorable :)

8:02 am

Trifioso

8:02 am

ardilla

hi owl

8:02 am

Trifioso

8:03 am

bichon

I wish I were young and you could dye your hair unusual colors

8:03 am

Yes, but right now we only have a mock-up. Should be out in stores soon

8:03 am

LoriP

8:03 am

Trifioso

72 Temple Owl

8:05 am

EvaNadine

8:05 am

kadresa

Have a great day!

8:05 am

Trifioso

blue is a bit cliche for a grandma....a band of random color is really quite hip - a blonde streak, a red swath of bang, etc.

8:05 am

bichon

Well, hubby grew a pony tail, I guess I could dye my hair

8:05 am

NonoNanette

your getting there Lori! still 22 here

Trifioso

I think I am going to try to use the snow blower today. haven't fired it up since the hubs left, but need to clear some paths, so I am going to give it a go.

8:14 am

Judi

Be one with the snow, Trif!

8:14 am

NonoNanette

you can do it Trif, just be smart about it

8:14 am

Trifioso

what does that mean, nono?

8:14 am

Trifioso

don't stick my hands in it and stuff like that, right?

8:15 am

kadresa

EB...always turn the exit tube away from your face and be mindful of how the wind is blowing...otherwise it's kinda fun

8:15 am

NonoNanette

means dont put your hands in the blade area!

8:15 am

ardilla

ick, snow, it's deceitful...looks soft and fluffy...just wet and cold...bah

8:15 am

NonoNanette

exactly Trif

8:15 am

Trifioso

i will try it, and try to be careful. does it take regular gas???
like the kind you put in the lawn mower?

8:15 am

kadresa

Oh..and don't stick your FOOT in it, I would never think of sticking my hand in it when it gets clogged, but I will always think of giving it a good boot!

8:16 am

NonoNanette

if it clogs up use a broom handle or something like that

8:16 am

Judi

I always thought the snow blower instructions said to point the outlet shute at your neighbor's lawn and don't run over any small animals.

8:16 am

Trifioso

i think the snow that fell last night is pretty fluffy, and not too sticky, so hopefully clumping won't be a problem

8:16 am

NonoNanette

mine uses reg. gas but some require a mix of gas and oil

8:16 am

Trifioso

i am more afraid it's all gonna blow back down, its so fluffy

8:17 am

Trifioso

how would I know, nono? will it say on it?

8:17 am

NonoNanette

lol Judi

8:17 am

kadresa

Just regular gas I think? If it's a mix there should be a label or something on the blower which would tell you to put in a mix of some sort

8:17 am

Trifioso

you cannot even believe how stupid i feel right now....

8:17 am

kadresa

Y?

8:18 am

BabbleRabble

no snow-blowing in the living room

8:18 am

MonkeyGames

shid

8:18 am

NonoNanette

kad is right it should say if a mix is required

8:18 am

MonkeyGames

Oops! And hello...

8:18 am

Trifioso

flylady had a great story about some lady who made chili one night, but it burned and was smoking everywhere, so she tossed the whole lot out onto the snowbank outside her door. then that night it snowed, and the next day her neighbor was snow blowing, hit the patch of now-hidden chili, and started freaking out, thinking they had run over a cat or something.....

8:19 am

NonoNanette

8:21 am

8:21 am

NonoNanette

8:21 am

Trifioso

8:22 am

Jacula

Trif - pity the poor long-haired dachshunds dogs... 4 dots and a line in the snow.:-)

8:22 am

kadresa

E you always get points for trying...always, besides, snowblowing isn't so hard, it's just kinda messy...and loud

8:22 am

Atalante

we met 2 gorgeous elkhounds out on the beach today

8:23 am

Trifioso

diggity did do a bit of a disappearing act off the steps this morning. he seems so irritated when I laugh at him....

9:11 am

72 Temple Owl

9:11 am

Hello Ata!

9:24 am

72 Temple Owl

9:26 am

Judi

*puzzled* Only a first date. Can't really tell much about a person at first blush. Take him out and stomp on him a little. See how he takes to being broken in.

9:26 am

Haz1558

I'm well as is <------- grown up version.

9:26 am

ardilla

woot lilliann bye hagd

9:26 am

72 Temple Owl

however, he related some of his business dealings and he wasn't so nice there. so there's the rub.

9:26 am

ardilla

any clues needed?

9:26 am

72 Temple Owl

oh is that spangle's baby photo?

9:27 am

Haz1558

Did he make you laugh?

9:27 am

Judi

What does he do for a living?

9:27 am

ardilla

cute pic

9:27 am

72 Temple Owl

no. good point, haz, excellent question!

9:27 am

Haz1558

It's not really junior Spangle, but it's very like her and a pretty photo.

9:27 am

72 Temple Owl

business consultant. helps others take their idea to reality.

9:28 am

Haz1558

Men need to have a good sense of humour, I think.

9:28 am

Atalante

it's a lovely photo, and I'm sure spanglette was just as lovely

9:28 am

xleslie

10?

9:28 am

Haz1558

She was, but I wasn't as handy with a camera.

9:28 am

72 Temple Owl

i agree, totally! some of the sexiest men i have known have not been good looking as much as very very humorous.

9:28 am

Judi

Sounds interesting enough, TO. Ditto, Haz. Men must make us laugh ( not at them, with them).

9:29 am

Haz1558

Yes, laughing with them is the key.

9:29 am

72 Temple Owl

and ata i apologize - i drifted off between postings and i don't think i greeted you.

9:29 am

Atalante

LOL I forgive you TO!! :D:D

9:29 am

Judi

Although they are fun to laugh at too.

9:31 am

72 Temple Owl

i must go. my boss has actually given me work since i am still in limbo awating transfer. i think i should read the meeting materials now for my 1300 meeting.

9:31 am

Judi

Boooo! Hiss! Work sucks.

9:31 am

Haz1558

All the best, TO.

9:31 am

Judi

Oops. Back to the PB for me.

9:31 am

72 Temple Owl

and make a few calls i cannot decipher thiese slides without having heard the presentation.

9:31 am

Atalante

not work! outrageous!

9:33 am

Haz1558

As long as nobody attaches the house word in front of the work, Lori(Canada) will be happy.

9:33 am

Judi

Did the snow melt yet, Ata?

9:33 am

Atalante

kind of ...

9:33 am

72 Temple Owl

bye all catch you later. btw it you haven't checked out evaN's icon it's hilarious. and judi be careful - you are only half an hour away LOL

9:34 am

Haz1558

Rushing to check out the icon. She's clothed, isn't she?

9:34 am

Atalante

for once

9:34 am

Haz1558

It makes a change.

9:34 am

72 Temple Owl

LOLOLOL

9:35 am

72 Temple Owl

i would NEVER have thought of that as a symbol of america but what the hay....

9:35 am

Haz1558

The icon is very funny, you're right. That picture needs to have Mona grinning, though, to show off really white teeth.

9:36 am

72 Temple Owl

brilliant, haz. catch you later, btw am starting a fund to get my hair straightened and blonded and my teeth capped, will post the po box later

9:37 am

72 Temple Owl

;)

9:37 am

Atalante

bye TO!

9:38 am

Haz1558

Bye TO - will you be looking for contributions to the fund?

9:38 am

72 Temple Owl

yes. just make them out to T. Owl

9:38 am

Haz1558

It'll be the Oh TO be beautiful Fund, then?

9:39 am

Haz1558

You take Paypal?

9:39 am

grant

Clue for sc6/36, anyone?

9:40 am

72 Temple Owl

something like that. ofcourse, paypal is a must.

9:40 am

72 Temple Owl

if i get enough there will be mesotherapy and lipo. and a bust liftt

9:40 am

Haz1558

Of course. I am its worldwide representative, after all.

9:41 am

72 Temple Owl

SOOnice of you to offer to do that, with no commission ;)

9:41 am

Haz1558

Steady on, TO. We need to work out the no commission thing.

9:41 am

Atalante

I have 25c in my purse. You can have that as US currency isn't very useful over here

9:41 am

ypsigirl

fireworks!

9:42 am

Atalante

yay ypsi!

9:42 am

72 Temple Owl

wtg, ypsi!

9:42 am

ypsigirl

thanks! have a good day!

9:43 am

Haz1558

sc6/36 - first three letters as with preceding words, a consonant, first letters of Tina Turner's former partner.

9:43 am

72 Temple Owl

ty ata, a true friend and my first contributor! must go, later, all ;)

9:44 am

Haz1558

Ata, you could start doing a trek for the fund. Bring Hobbit along. Trek for TO, you'd be bound to raise lots.

9:44 am

Haz1558

Bye TO!

9:45 am

grant

Got it. Thanks Haz

9:45 am

Haz1558

You're welcome.

9:45 am

Atalante

Lizsark and I wanted a purpose to do a trek!

9:46 am

tragicstud

alison45 - are you here and seeing the chat?"

9:46 am

Haz1558

And now you have it! We could get the TV companies involved.

9:46 am

Haz1558

A kind of trans-Atlantic makeover with a difference.

9:46 am

Atalante

fabulous!

9:47 am

Haz1558

Don't let Heather Mills in on the act, no matter how much she begs. We have our standards.

9:47 am

Atalante

nooooooooo no Heather!

9:48 am

Haz1558

She'd insist on taking her leg off. This has to be a classy show.

9:49 am

Atalante

oh yes

9:49 am

Haz1558

So no you know who either.

9:49 am

Haz1558

Nor her.

9:49 am

Judi

Fireworks!

9:50 am

Haz1558

And you can forget about him.

9:50 am

Haz1558

Congratulations Judi!

9:50 am

Atalante

they are in LA

9:51 am

DR1965

if you are talking about the soccer dude and the diva- you can have them back

9:51 am

Atalante

them too!

9:51 am

DR1965

I am SO tired of them!

9:51 am

Haz1558

That's the beauty of not naming anyone, you can fill in the blank spaces and come up with all sorts.

9:51 am

DR1965

* quietly steps of soapbox

9:52 am

Haz1558

Tired of the Beckhams? How can you tire of her smile and his voice?

9:52 am

DR1965

very true Haz- there are afew others

9:52 am

DR1965

but you were talking aobut heather mills so I went with those two

9:52 am

Atalante

and her wonderfully curvy figure

9:53 am

DR1965

rofl

9:53 am

Judi

You Brits have all the glittery stars. We had Brad and Angelina, but they've moved to France. Traitors.

9:54 am

Atalante

I suspect Haz was talking about the one woman that makes Vic Beckham look classy

9:54 am

crosshair

someone say curvy figures?

9:54 am

Haz1558

Are they getting some little French baby?

9:54 am

DR1965

ok... that is one of th eother ones... I am off to start my day

9:54 am

Haz1558

Bye DR.

9:54 am

DR1965

have fun all

9:54 am

Judi

Even George Clooney spends most of his time in Tuscany. *glares accusingly at Haz*

9:54 am

Atalante

probably

9:55 am

Haz1558

He SAYS he spends time in Tuscany.

9:55 am

Atalante

really Ballymena

9:55 am

Haz1558

I couldn't possibly comment.

9:56 am

Judi

And thanks for sending Ricky Gervais over here. Would you take Paris Hilton in trade?

9:56 am

Atalante

no. we'll take Hayden Christensen TY

9:57 am

Judi

We'll throw in Ryan Seacrest as a freebie.

9:57 am

crosshair

paris is too much of a bubble head even for us guys:/

9:57 am

Haz1558

She's already over here, Judi. Would you believe that she's doing a reality series about herself? A really different, fresh idea, isn't it?

9:57 am

Haz1558

How is Ricky Gervais going down? I thought he'd be a bit too.... Ricky Gervais for the States.

9:57 am

Judi

Paris Hilton makes me gag. I hope one of her accessory dogs bites her in the face.

9:58 am

tragicstud

paris is doing a reality show there?

9:58 am

crosshair

she would be like trying to talk to a bag of door knobs

9:58 am

tragicstud

i wonder if her new reality tv show aquired best friend is with her

9:58 am

Atalante

saw advert for PH's British Best Friend:
Paris: would you look after my dog for me?
Candidate: *drools* that would be an honour! really it would! I would love it!

9:58 am

Atalante

*vomit*

9:59 am

Judi

We watched Ricky's HBO special. I believe he's been very well received. Hubby loves his pod casts.

9:59 am

Haz1558

Are you sitting down? It's entitled something like 'Paris looks for a British best friend'. Girls compete to be her friend.

9:59 am

tragicstud

she already got a BFF here

9:59 am

tragicstud

it doesn't surprise me at all

9:59 am

tragicstud

i was sick one day and couldn't move to change the tv channel

10:00 am

Haz1558

That's interesting re Ricky Gervais.

10:00 am

tragicstud

watched a few hours of the BFF show here

10:00 am

Judi

Thought his HBO special was hilarious by the way. His movie plotzed, but the comedy tour is getting good reviews.

10:00 am

Haz1558

I haven't watched any of it. Somehow the title made me think I wouldn't enjoy it. I have these psychic moments.

10:01 am

tragicstud

lol

10:01 am

eddie25

ch7 please

10:01 am

Judi

Double gag about Paris Hilton. I think her reality show should be called "Parasite Hilton".

10:01 am

crosshair

here our crtc is going to make it possible for us to cherry pick our favorite stations instead of being stuck with all the crap thats in cable packages.we have about 200 channels,of which only ten or so are any damn good;/

10:03 am

Haz1558

ch7 - add a vowel to ch6 or make it plural.

10:03 am

Judi

Arrg. Sinuses are clogged today. Think I'm allergic to winter.

10:04 am

Atalante

did you see that Ch4 prog about boys and girls living alone for 2 weeks, Haz?

10:05 am

Haz1558

I deliberately didn't watch it, Ata. I'm not much in favour of any 'reality' shows because I think they're cruel and manipulative - involving children is as low as you can get.

10:05 am

Atalante

it was quite horrific

10:05 am

sajarn

so there's a website that gives grid data on word length, 1st 2 letters etc, ??? y'all seem to know something I don't know....:-) Spill!! thanks!

10:06 am

Haz1558

I read about it in the paper. What do they expect of children?

10:06 am

Haz1558

How much is it worth, sajarn?

10:06 am

Judi

Something similar played here last year, Haz & Ata. I think it was "Kids Island" or something. All very "Lord of the Flies" with a touches of democracy and child labor thrown in.

10:06 am

Haz1558

Scroll down to bottom of the page, under Friends of Babble, you'll find LIckety's Babble clues.

10:06 am

72 Temple Owl

like the "kid nation" show we had in us? hi again btw

10:06 am

sajarn

ahhhhahh

10:07 am

Judi

THAT was it, TO. Thanks.

10:07 am

Haz1558

Hello again TO.

10:07 am

72 Temple Owl

hi agai - must be stealthy *looks around carefully*

10:07 am

sajarn

Thanks Haz, I owe ya.

10:08 am

72 Temple Owl

has anyone ever seen the kardashians' reality show?

10:08 am

Haz1558

You owe me $100. I'll take it in any form. Enjoy!

10:08 am

Atalante

give it to TO's fund :P

10:08 am

72 Temple Owl

i KNOW you're not talin' to ME, haz.

10:08 am

Judi

Now that show sucks, TO. Bruce Jenner always looks so clueless (more so than the rest of the brood).

10:09 am

Haz1558

No, TO, money is all flowing your way. Ata's going to trek for you.

10:09 am

72 Temple Owl

they are pretty girls. and they have made big butts fashionable. god bless them :)

10:09 am

72 Temple Owl

they are the anti-beckham

10:10 am

Haz1558

I thought it was Victoria Beckham who pioneered the big butts is beautiful movement?

10:10 am

sajarn

quickly added to 'favorites'.....you too, haz...

10:10 am

Atalante

anything that is anti-beckham has to be good

10:10 am

Judi

Whoops. Gotta split. Time for a meeting. ZZZZZ.

10:10 am

72 Temple Owl

well you don't see any starlets lining up to get silicone in their rears do you?

10:11 am

Haz1558

You'll find Lickety's clues a great help, sarjarn, although some prefer to go without and inflict endless suffering upon themselves.

10:11 am

Haz1558

Give it time, TO, give it time. Big butts is bound to catch on.

10:12 am

rururocks

how cheeky of you two to bring up this conversation...

10:12 am

Atalante

are you trying to say that some Babblers are masochistic?

10:12 am

72 Temple Owl

well i would suffer a big butt if i looked like her. she is gorgeous if there's no sound.

10:12 am

Haz1558

I cou;dn't possibly comment.

10:13 am

rururocks

hmmmm isn't that a given?

10:13 am

72 Temple Owl

morning ru

10:13 am

rururocks

morning TO

10:14 am

Haz1558

So is David Beckham, TO. Once he starts talking, it's a major disappointment, you know, because, you know he has, you know, a high squeaky voice, and you know, can't stop saying you know. You know?

10:14 am

72 Temple Owl

well then gag him can't have everything, you greedy girl.

10:14 am

rururocks

wish I knew who david beckham is..

10:14 am

Atalante

no, you don't

10:15 am

Haz1558

Be very glad, ruru.

10:15 am

Chatz

oh for eye candy he's alright...

10:15 am

Haz1558

As if any of us ladies are interested in what a man looks like.

10:15 am

72 Temple Owl

i dopn't think he's all that. i prefer a more mature man.

10:15 am

Chatz

(Chatz pops in out of the blue..)

10:16 am

Chatz

lol...ok, I sit corrected..

10:16 am

Chatz

Haz, that just leaves more ogling for me... ;-)

10:16 am

Atalante

eyecandy *before* the 20 million tattoos

10:16 am

72 Temple Owl

ladies...need i remind you there is a male present. as if there aren't any who lurk and gobble up the silly girl talk LOl hi chatz

10:17 am

Chatz

well, football season is over...it's *almost* baseball spring training! how's that?

10:17 am

72 Temple Owl

*blush* OMG what about yesterday's chog? LOL

10:17 am

Haz1558

Lurk? You mean there are men who lurk?

10:17 am

rururocks

(now have to go back to yesterday's chog..

10:18 am

torgone

I disagree

10:18 am

Atalante

aren't those usually called stalkers?

10:18 am

72 Temple Owl

SH**

10:18 am

Haz1558

And I love Ata for never exaggerating, even the slightest little bit about anything. Not even Beckham's tattoos.

10:18 am

rururocks

yeah.. I only lurk to pop in at an oppotune moment to get a luagh..

10:19 am

72 Temple Owl

PArdon me while i fire up the car for my drive to wilmington. judi better look out LOL

10:19 am

Haz1558

Do you disagree about anything in particular, or are you just disagreeing in general, torgone?

10:19 am

Atalante

ok, maybe he's got 19,999,999

10:19 am

torgone

I'm just disagreeable today

10:20 am

Haz1558

That's better, Ata, you should know about being accurate. Einstein's granddaughter and all that...

10:20 am

rururocks

sounds like he likes to get poked to me

10:20 am

Haz1558

Welll, that's okay, torgone.

10:20 am

Atalante

true, true

10:22 am

Chatz

ok there must be a LOT of imaginary di words today...

10:22 am

EvaNadine

afternoon babblers!

10:22 am

Haz1558

Hello EvaN!

10:22 am

72 Temple Owl

good thing. look at the missus. she's all bones.

10:23 am

EvaNadine

how are we all?

10:23 am

Haz1558

We were commenting on your icon, EvaN. You've inspired TO.

10:24 am

EvaNadine

oh, have i?

10:25 am

Haz1558

Yes, indeed. Tell her your plans, TO, and how all babblers can contribute.

10:26 am

72 Temple Owl

evaN, i am starting a fund to make me look more American. haz what did we name it?

10:26 am

Haz1558

First thought was 'O TO be beautiful' fund

10:26 am

Haz1558

But it could also be Top To Toe Transformation - TTTT for short.

10:27 am

72 Temple Owl

yes! do you like it? btw haz decided mona needed teeth whitening

10:27 am

flosey

good morning everyone

10:27 am

Haz1558

Yes! American Mona would have a big, white smile.

10:27 am

Haz1558

Good morning flosey.

10:28 am

EvaNadine

she also needs a tattoo across the small of her back -- the "tramp stamp" as it is known...

10:28 am

rururocks

(with a gold front tooth)

10:28 am

72 Temple Owl

what in the world made yo uchoose that icon evaN? no tramp stamps are so 90's

10:28 am

Haz1558

Goodness, I didn't know about the tattoo thing. Are you not really American without one?

10:29 am

72 Temple Owl

or so early 21st century. i am getting old and i lose track of time.

10:29 am

rururocks

(that would be young americans)

10:29 am

Haz1558

It's okay, TO, when you've had your transformation, your state of mind won't matter any more.

10:29 am

Atalante

one of my American friends has just got a tattoo on his forehead. This disturbs me

10:29 am

Haz1558

And piercings? Are they de rigeur?

10:30 am

72 Temple Owl

however,thanks to the marvels of cosmetic medicine i can look young despite the fact that my brain is turning to mush.

10:30 am

rururocks

yes .. in horrible places too

10:30 am

72 Temple Owl

ty haz. i abandoned that word earlier becuase i could not spell it

10:30 am

EvaNadine

i typed "american cliche" and this was the first image that popped up...heh

10:31 am

EvaNadine

ata -- that IS a little disturbing

10:31 am

72 Temple Owl

wow that is revelatory

10:31 am

72 Temple Owl

i hate it when they tatto numbers on the forehead

10:32 am

rururocks

could someone direct me to the sm 10? I think it is some unusal word?

10:32 am

cybernan

hello everyone :)

10:32 am

rururocks

72 Temple Owl

THERE"S AN SM 10???

10:32 am

72 Temple Owl

hi nan sorry

10:32 am

EvaNadine

SM10 is the utmost of SM6

Haz1558

sm6 - make a superlative adjective of sm6/30

10:32 am

flosey

10:33 am

flosey

Hi ru

72 Temple Owl

10:33 am

rururocks

(sure... not having the sm 6/30 either)

10:34 am

Haz1558

sm6/30 - to rhyme with what you use when your legs broken.

10:34 am

Haz1558

I was nearly going to insert a Heather Mills joke, but I won't. I'll behave.

10:34 am

Haz1558

72 Temple Owl

i want a cheesesteak but i don't want to drive in th esnow and there's no place to walk for one. that's safe, i mean :(

10:37 am

tragicstud

should i know how to conjugate to superlative adjectives? :)

10:37 am

Haz1558

Big is an adjective, comparative adjective is bigger, the superlative adjective is biggest. Make an adjective out of sm8 (by adding a y in your head), then make it the most.

10:38 am

Haz1558

Out of sm6

10:38 am

Atalante

*smug* the silliness is justified LOL

12:38 pm

kje

does that suck or what

12:39 pm

stidmama

hello all, got to 34 last night, just work up... (((monkey)))

12:39 pm

Atalante

oh nooo :(

12:39 pm

MonkeyGames

Oh no!!! That's very heavy for both of them, and you.

12:39 pm

kje

and right on the heels of his wife's death

12:39 pm

MonkeyGames

Hi Stid!!!

12:39 pm

kje

hi stid

12:39 pm

MonkeyGames

That is absolutely awful.

12:39 pm

12:39 pm

stidmama

oh, the poor man -- the poor girl!

12:40 pm

Atalante

bad breast cancer for the daughter too?

12:40 pm

lynxxx

Its a shit of a disease, I so wish they would hurry and find a cure

12:40 pm

MonkeyGames

Wow. Poor her, poor him, and poor you.

12:40 pm

stidmama

hopefully they caught hers early?

12:40 pm

kje

not same type as mom, but it is inflammatory breast cancer, which is often a poor prognosis

12:40 pm

kje

but it was caught very early... so that is good

12:40 pm

Atalante

urf

12:40 pm

stidmama

oh my. (((kje)))

12:41 pm

kje

truly lynxxx... so many women, it is stunning

12:41 pm

MonkeyGames

I wish her all the best and am sending positive vibes.

tceicher

ir

12:41 pm

stidmama

catching it early is very good.

12:41 pm

stidmama

hello tc!

12:42 pm

kje

12:42 pm

stidmama

12:42 pm

stidmama

brb teakettle

12:42 pm

BzznBea

I got an email yesterday that had a picture of a baby girl wearing a t-shirt that said, "Hurry up and find a cure before I grow boobs."

12:42 pm

Atalante

words aren't necessary if he knows you are there

12:42 pm

MonkeyGames

No, I'm sure he understands that you don't know what to say. Just being there in his life is a huge support.

12:42 pm

kje

both have to do with the center of the eye stid - one is inflammation, other pertains to

12:42 pm

BzznBea

I'm sorry to hear that about your friend, kje.

12:43 pm

MonkeyGames

Still not seeing these Noel 7's. Am I dumb or what?

12:43 pm

kje

that is funny and sad both bzzzz - : )

12:43 pm

kje

if you have the 6, add a plural for 1 7 and a vowel for the other

12:44 pm

stidmama

funny, bea -- and needed!

12:44 pm

stidmama

kje, the best support for him is like the best support for any person with a major trauma -- being there, listening, letting him talk and process things.

12:44 pm

MonkeyGames

It won't plural... I wonder what I am doing wrong.

12:44 pm

lynxxx

MG - drop the T out of noel and play with the ends

12:45 pm

MonkeyGames

Stid said it best!

12:45 pm

stidmama

I hve 5 7s left...

12:45 pm

stidmama

monkey -- probably looking at the anointing words?

12:45 pm

kje

yes, i know, just hate feeling useless... usually in these things I am the doc, so can often do SOMETHING

12:45 pm

lynxxx

hi Stid!

12:45 pm

MonkeyGames

Trying, Lynxxx... do have the 6... will keep bashing my head on it. Thanks.

12:51 pm

MonkeyGames

Thank you.

BzznBea

I love the word KI6.

12:52 pm

Atalante

12:52 pm

BzznBea

I use it to justify all the "junk" I have around my house. =)

12:53 pm

MonkeyGames

Ummm... OK, now that I'm already being a serious pain, I might as well go whole hog. I need the sc6 and 7 that are not about splitting apart.

12:53 pm

stidmama

12:53 pm

Atalante

sc6 - slatey type of rock

12:53 pm

stidmama

12:53 pm

Atalante

stidmama

12:56 pm

BzznBea

Last SC^ is like the big green Disney ogre with a different vowel.

12:57 pm

MonkeyGames

Starts like the others, then fish skin disease homophone.

12:57 pm

stidmama

I don't know the ogre's name *thinking*

stidmama

1:03 pm

MonkeyGames

1:04 pm

stidmama

1:04 pm

MonkeyGames

NM, found that one! Yay! Two to go...

1:04 pm

stidmama

most like six-sided gambling things

1:04 pm

stidmama

go monkey go!

1:05 pm

stidmama

oh oh -- I have missed voting FOR the library measure yesterday! *very sad mama look* I put the ballot down somewhere and completely forgot about it.

1:06 pm

MonkeyGames

OK, my last word is the first di5... help?

1:06 pm

MonkeyGames

Oh bummer, Stid! I did that with the water votes recently. Hate it when that happens.

1:06 pm

stidmama

which di 5? the 5/14 that ends in a vowel?

1:06 pm

MonkeyGames

Well, the one right after the 7...

1:07 pm

stidmama

this is the first ballot I have missed in over ten years. *grumble*

1:07 pm

stidmama

ah well, looks like it was going to fail anyway, but still... the libraries are so important to a community.

1:07 pm

MonkeyGames

They are indeed!

1:07 pm

stidmama

oh -- like the 6/30 only a feminine ending instead of masc.

1:08 pm

MonkeyGames

THANK YOU!!!! FIREWORKS!!!! First time in FOREVER!

1:08 pm

BzznBea

WTG! MG!

1:09 pm

stidmama

YAY Monkey!!!!

1:10 pm

MonkeyGames

Thanks! Now I think I have decided something that has been preying on my mind for some time... I will indeed take the remaining Tylenol codeine for my back this time instead fo plain Tylenol. Well, half of it-- it's a 40 and i think 20 should be OK.

1:11 pm

lynxxx

Congrats MG!

1:11 pm

stidmama

oh monkey, didn't know your back was hurting again! yes, take the tylenol and relax -- you don't have to be anywhere this time of day, right/

1:12 pm

MonkeyGames

Oh no, it's vegg out to TV time. And actually the back never stopped hurting and according to the orthpedist probably won't. Sigh. But it is especially bad tis evening.

1:12 pm

stidmama

I should probably go write more on this paper due today and then start working on the application for the master's program. Have decided that the one endorsement is sufficient for the moment, will take the final test for the other in April and if I pass will get two endorsements. If I don't, I can try again later.

1:12 pm

stidmama

hmph. your back should stop hurting, monkey. Are you getting physical therapy?

1:13 pm

MonkeyGames

No, the orthopedist said it wouldn't help-- and the treatments I did have did indeed not. He says if it gets quite a bit worse we can consider fusing the vertebrae.

1:14 pm

MonkeyGames

Have now taken the codeine one. Turned out to be a 20. Haven't had one in months so forgot what dosage they were.

1:14 pm

stidmama

I would advocate a second opinion. the doc may be correct, but it seems to me that often a decision is made rather more quickly than reasonable.

1:15 pm

stidmama

there may be other types of therapies (or different exercises) that will help. just an idea... it took me years to get over the constant back pain.

1:15 pm

MonkeyGames

Well, in general I agree, but he did tell me this over two appointments and showed me the x-rays, and my own research seems to support his views. But I will ask soon to see someone else, probably.

1:16 pm

MonkeyGames

Lil Monkey says I should try traction-- still trying to work out how I will arrange that.

1:16 pm

lynxxx

grumble: Saturday was going to be 38, now going to be 43! again!

1:16 pm

MonkeyGames

He said that at some point the nerves may get tired of sending out pain signals and just give up...

1:17 pm

MonkeyGames

I'll trade your our 2 and raining for 43, Lynxxx!

1:17 pm

stidmama

well that would be something! LOL

1:17 pm

stidmama

brrrr monkey. so you're getting the same weather as the English, only just warm enough to be miserable, not white and pretty?

1:18 pm

MonkeyGames

Yup! We just exited the coldest January in decades though. It was -7 for days.

1:18 pm

stidmama

lynxxx, does seem a bit excessive -- have you considered going futher south for the summer?

1:18 pm

lynxxx

Am sick of having house in constant darkness and garden swathed in shadecloth whilst trying to keep up buckets of recycled water to it. Bring on Winter

1:19 pm

stidmama

monkey, they found a fossil snake "as long as a bus" -- heres the bbc article

1:19 pm

1:22 pm

stidmama

1:25 pm

KatieMcG

Evening everyone. A quick babble before we go shopping, snow due and no food in!!

1:25 pm

MonkeyGames

Saw a duck fall through ice today. As one might expect, that doesn't really affect them badly.

1:26 pm

lynxxx

hi Katie

1:26 pm

Atalante

hi katie!

1:27 pm

MonkeyGames

Hi Katie!

1:27 pm

KatieMcG

but I bet it was funny MG

1:28 pm

KatieMcG

I have official permission to work from home tomorrow if it snows. I'm soooo sick of being scared when I drive!

1:28 pm

Atalante

oh yes, work from home!

1:28 pm

MonkeyGames

Sure was. It was just walking along on ice thatw as making crackledy noises, then went SPLOOSH! and bobbed back up, shook itself off a bit, and climbed back out to wander around some more with the other ducks.

1:28 pm

joshuavorbis

what a difference a few hours away makes - after hitting a wall at 17 left, i've come back and found 10 within 10 minutes

1:29 pm

KatieMcG

Oh I would have cried laughing, I just love things like that

1:29 pm

MonkeyGames

Good going, Josh! I have observed the same phenomenon myself.

1:29 pm

Atalante

ducks are so funny!

1:29 pm

MonkeyGames

It was pretty funny. Really a bit anticlimactic though because the duck didn't seem all that surprised.

1:30 pm

KatieMcG

Oh I've got the call for the shopping trip. Be back in about an hour and a half, anyone need anything?

1:30 pm

MonkeyGames

There was a big young swan standing around in the middle of the narrow path we take to the woods the other day, threatening bikes and dogs. You just never know what waterfowl are thinking.

1:30 pm

MonkeyGames

Beef jerkey, please Katie. Can't get it here.

1:31 pm

KatieMcG

Swan's are thinking "i'm going to eat you"

1:31 pm

KatieMcG

1:31 pm

MonkeyGames

Once in Amsterdam we saw a lady set a plate of sandwiches down on the table inside her houseboat window, and a swan moseyed over and started taking them off the plate when her back was turned.

1:32 pm

KatieMcG

Right real *poof* time

1:32 pm

MonkeyGames

Another time there was a duck standing on a houseboat deck watching a pendulum clock inside. Its neck was fully stretched out and going back and forth, back and forth...

2:25 pm

danf63

thank you Julie...Calvin/Stupendous Man is my hero!

2:25 pm

SuzyPT

Julie, is your icon of Camden Yards?

2:25 pm

danf63

Yay lizmac!!

2:25 pm

SuzyPT

Good job lizmac!

2:26 pm

abetterjulie

It is, Suzy.

2:26 pm

SuzyPT

I've been to a lot of the baseball fields, I think that one is next on my list. Hopefully this year

2:26 pm

abetterjulie

It is the only one I have ever been to, and just once. I would like to go again.

2:27 pm

SuzyPT

I've heard a lot of great things about that park.

2:27 pm

Takuma Sato

I went to a couple games there when I live in MD -- very fun place

2:27 pm

Takuma Sato

and great food!

2:27 pm

abetterjulie

anyone have the me5/14? I have the 5/12, but am stuck.

2:28 pm

danf63

I'm working on it julie...hopefully in a bit

2:28 pm

abetterjulie

ok

2:28 pm

danf63

suzy...have you been here to Petco yet?

2:28 pm

SuzyPT

I have been. Loved it there.

2:29 pm

tragicstud

i have it but don't know how to clue it...

2:29 pm

tragicstud

give me a sec

2:29 pm

abetterjulie

got it Dan...monkeyed it...me + i feel ***k.

2:29 pm

SuzyPT

Actually drove up the coast from Petco to ATT&T, SBC or whatever it's called

2:29 pm

tragicstud

me + not feeling well - last letter

2:29 pm

danf63

It is a great park...haven't been as much as I would like too, but the Cubbies only come once a year

2:29 pm

SuzyPT

That is exactly who I went to see at both parks!

2:30 pm

SuzyPT

Lots of Cub fans both places

2:30 pm

danf63

thank you julie / stud

2:31 pm

danf63

I am always amazed when the Cubs come to town...there are WAY more Cubs fans than Padre's fans...plus everytime I go, the Cubs win, so I have a good time!

2:31 pm

SuzyPT

I wish I could say everytime I went to a game the Cubs win....

2:31 pm

abetterjulie

you should go more often, Dan

2:31 pm

tragicstud

the di's keep getting clued, and i get that... but i can not get the 5,14/6,30/and 7/44

2:32 pm

tragicstud

i know they were clued at 222, i can't monkey them

2:32 pm

danf63

Petco is a LOT more expensive than Qualcomm used to be...I can only afford decent seats for one game a series, so i have to be selective

2:32 pm

abetterjulie

the di 7 is like the cube you play games with, but superlative

2:33 pm

tragicstud

i need the other 7

2:33 pm

tragicstud

(lol, that one took me forever to get too though)

2:33 pm

danf63

stud...di5 is when you record a letter for your secretary to type minus the last 2 letters

2:33 pm

abetterjulie

oh, the 36? Yeah, I don't have that one! :)

2:34 pm

tragicstud

awesome, thank you

2:34 pm

tragicstud

yes you do julie - you don't have the 44

2:34 pm

SuzyPT

Wrigley is getting ridiculously expensive as well.

2:34 pm

danf63

for the di6, take the first 4 letters, and add a word used in a speech to stall ("errrrrr" or **), then plural it for the di7/44

2:34 pm

abetterjulie

OH, you are right!

2:35 pm

tragicstud

ahhhhh

2:35 pm

tragicstud

thank you dan!!

2:35 pm

danf63

I still want to go to Wrigley though...2 games...one in the bleachers, and one above the dugout. One of these days

2:35 pm

tragicstud

criminy...it's been HOURS

2:35 pm

danf63

your welcome stud

2:35 pm

danf63

courier here...bbs

2:36 pm

abetterjulie

LOL, no wonder I couldn't figure it out!

2:38 pm

tragicstud

:)

2:38 pm

Takuma Sato

Funny -- one of the di's is the latin plural, and another is the plural of the same word, that used to be improper

2:39 pm

Uniquity

I know I am way out of practise, but is this grid hard?

2:40 pm

Takuma Sato

hi, Uni!

2:40 pm

Takuma Sato

This is one of the toughest I've seen recently

2:40 pm

abetterjulie

Down to 19 and seem to be stuck!

2:40 pm

Uniquity

Ooohhh, nice clue, Taku!

2:41 pm

Takuma Sato

oh, thanks!

2:41 pm

Uniquity

Thanks...it makes me want to peek at a list, and I have only free-found 42 words. I guess getting rusty is the punishment for going half a year without completing the grids :)

2:41 pm

abetterjulie

anyone have clues for the last three ch words?

2:42 pm

Takuma Sato

heh, I'm not a completionist, and I'm still finding the going pretty rough

2:42 pm

Uniquity

My internet has been too rough to load babble, but today it is zooming. Slowly getting better, I might be able to try to be a completionist again soon! (cool word, btw)

2:43 pm

phaeton

ch***tmas is a holiday...*ice are little critters...then add a vowel...then change to pl

2:44 pm

abetterjulie

ty, phae...looks like it is spelled wrong, doesn't it?

2:44 pm

Takuma Sato

heh, one of those is like personal attractiveness, minus a vowel

2:44 pm

Takuma Sato

and thanks, phae

2:44 pm

phaeton

yes it does

2:45 pm

gramma

DI7/36? please.

2:45 pm

abetterjulie

No def for it, either.

2:46 pm

Takuma Sato

most risky, gramma

2:46 pm

phaeton

so...someone m ade it up?

2:46 pm

Uniquity

Gramma, this is the di***** clue ever (the most, that is)

2:46 pm

abetterjulie

or spelled it wrong...

2:47 pm

gramma

Ahhh.ty

2:47 pm

abetterjulie

how bout the last ch phae, is it hard?

2:47 pm

Takuma Sato

the odd ch's are cognates of a a word for annointing oil

2:47 pm

Takuma Sato

(ignore one of those 'a's)

2:48 pm

abetterjulie

including the last ones we clued? The non-def one when you click the ? icon?

2:48 pm

gramma

How about the last KI?

2:48 pm

abetterjulie

ah, yes, dug deeper and found the defs, ty Takuma

2:49 pm

Takuma Sato

heh, I was about to post the wikipedia link, but I realized that might be a bit *too* helpful a clue

2:49 pm

Takuma Sato

(given that the word is in the url)

2:49 pm

abetterjulie

ki like a young cat + the start of ***ool.

2:50 pm

abetterjulie

Yah, i see that Takuma. haha

2:50 pm

gramma

ty

2:50 pm

crosshair

acck! i hate those ch words!..they are just out of reach!

2:50 pm

Uniquity

I have...3 ch words. Please say that is all?

2:51 pm

phaeton

ch7/40 the 2nd is like the other ch7/40...ends as a pl

2:51 pm

Takuma Sato

I have 6, Uni

2:51 pm

abetterjulie

I have 8, well 7 cause I don't have the last one yet.

2:51 pm

Takuma Sato

Time for me to split. Good luck all!

2:52 pm

crosshair

the guys name..munus the t..then... your gonna have to hit me with a fish

2:52 pm

phaeton

8 ch's

2:52 pm

abetterjulie

bye Takuma. OH, well apparently I can't count letters. I don't have the ch6.

2:52 pm

Uniquity

Wow, 6 ch now. Got both 7s, thanks. Almost halfway, then listing, I think

2:53 pm

abetterjulie

and now I do, cause phae helps me count things.

2:53 pm

abetterjulie

ty phae...if only there were no numbers in this game.

2:54 pm

jimmel

Hang in there, Uni! Just finished this grid!

2:54 pm

Uniquity

The scariest number in this game is ten...the number of letters in a word I don't have :)

2:54 pm

abetterjulie

want a hint, Uni?

2:54 pm

Uniquity

Heavens, I have missed babbling. So glad to be back.

2:54 pm

SuzyPT

good job jimmel!

2:54 pm

crosshair

uni! :) nice to see you again;)

2:54 pm

Uniquity

**Firebatons for jimmel and finishing!**

2:55 pm

jimmel

Thx, Suzy! Uni, want a clue for the 10? it's a strange one!

2:55 pm

abetterjulie

congrats jimmel!

2:55 pm

Uniquity

I steal clues as they come up, I am not too panicked. I am still free-finding :)

2:55 pm

gramma

I'm missing 3 of the mu's. 4/8-5/18-5/18.

2:56 pm

jimmel

ok...well good luck to everyone!

2:56 pm

gramma

Got 1

2:56 pm

phaeton

mu5/18....use two cons/pl

2:56 pm

abetterjulie

bye jimmel

2:56 pm

Uniquity

I have a mu 4/5 combo with a lot of the same letter in it, then plural

2:56 pm

gramma

phaeton, I just got that 1 ty anyway

2:56 pm

jimmel

gramma: 4/8: think flower with double consonant (or british mother)

2:57 pm

gramma

ty

2:57 pm

jimmel

2nd mu 5/18: "MU** Ado about Nothing" but add cons in middle

2:57 pm

gramma

It's that last 5 that's left me hanging

2:58 pm

abetterjulie

11!! That is the least I have ever had! *happy dance*

2:59 pm

gramma

TY!

2:59 pm

abetterjulie

10

2:59 pm

jimmel

YW! bye now!

3:00 pm

SuzyPT

3:00 pm

SuzyPT

Bye jimmel!

3:00 pm

crosshair

3:01 pm

abetterjulie

oh, don't be Suzy...this is the best I have ever done.

3:01 pm

Uniquity

3:01 pm

abetterjulie

3:02 pm

lbdawger

3:02 pm

Atalante

UNI!!!

3:02 pm

Uniquity

Okay, now that I look at the list, I wonder. Is the 10 related to the 6?

3:02 pm

Atalante

3:02 pm

abetterjulie

mi +**hool + good n***.

3:03 pm

Uniquity

Wow. I am the sm10? What does it mean? Investigating..

3:03 pm

abetterjulie

3:04 pm

Good going, Ibdawger.

3:04 pm

Uniquity

**firebatons for LBD***

3:04 pm

abetterjulie

oh, no way! already?? congrats!

3:05 pm

lbdawger

ty, some really stoopid made up words today.

3:05 pm

Uniquity

Oooohhh...I am the sm10 :D

3:05 pm

abetterjulie

peach, you play with di++ and then add the superlative

3:06 pm

abetterjulie

any clues for the ci 6?

3:06 pm

lbdawger

Uni, do you need to bathe? ;-)

3:06 pm

abetterjulie

wait, not the 6

3:07 pm

abetterjulie

nvm, counting error again.

3:07 pm

Uniquity

I don't know if bathing would be enough to erase the sm6 from my record!

3:07 pm

gapeach1066@yaho

Thanks much, abetterjulie.

3:07 pm

abetterjulie

yw, peach!

3:07 pm

abetterjulie

EIGHT left, people! i am so excited!!

3:07 pm

Atalante

how;s the KoG (In training)< Uni?

3:07 pm

phaeton

fireworks!!

3:07 pm

abetterjulie

congrats phae!

3:08 pm

Uniquity

Way to go, Phae!! And keep fighting, julie!

3:08 pm

phaeton

thank you...happy babbling!!

3:08 pm

Uniquity

Emma is well..we had a furnace man in the apt. today, so she was being crazy and asserting her KOG training. Now she is grooming my hair, since she has finished drinking the water out of my glass.

3:08 pm

lbdawger

go julie! the only time i've ever heard the word sm6 was in some crime show, the coroner said to put some mentholatum under your nose...and the csi i said not to forget to wipe the sm6 afterwords

3:09 pm

abetterjulie

oh, plz help with the my last d? I can't see the D5/14 after the thing you put in a computer pl.

3:09 pm

lbdawger

whooooo hooooooo PHAE!!

3:09 pm

Atalante

awwwwwww :):)

3:09 pm

lbdawger

latin plural, julie

3:09 pm

abetterjulie

hey, do you remember mercurochrome? What WAS that stuff anyway? And why would you want to put something on a booboo with a STICK?

3:10 pm

gapeach1066@yaho

Nice going, phaeton.

3:10 pm

abetterjulie

ty, lbd...latin is a little rusty!

3:10 pm

lbdawger

mercurochrome...oh yeah, didn't sting as badly as iodine

3:10 pm

Uniquity

Really, she is a princess. She gives kisses for treats..and pretty much everything else too. She bites my cheek in the middle of the nigt to wake up and play, and sleeps faithfully on my pillow next to me.

3:10 pm

abetterjulie

is this a ferret, Uni?

3:11 pm

Uniquity

Anything that you can't touch with your fingers to apply is probably not a good idea to put in a wound..

3:11 pm

Atalante

I'm not sure cheek-biting is KoG behaviour!

3:11 pm

abetterjulie

LOL...yes Unit

3:11 pm

abetterjulie

sorry, *Uni

3:11 pm

Uniquity

You would think she is a ferret, but no. A kitten (of glory-in training).

3:12 pm

abetterjulie

Oh, okay. the nips would have to go.

3:12 pm

abetterjulie

6

3:12 pm

Atalante

how old is she now?

3:12 pm

Uniquity

I am also concered, Ata. Her behaviour is getting a bit diva, IMO. On another note, any word(s) from Scarlet in the past few months?

3:12 pm

abetterjulie

and they are ALL s words. argh.

3:12 pm

lbdawger

is that emma in your icon, uni?

3:12 pm

Uniquity

Five monthsish. She needs to be spayed, but I need to get her down to LoriP for that to happen, and that is a disaster in and of itself.

3:13 pm

abetterjulie

omg, she is ADORable, Uni!!

3:13 pm

Atalante

not actually on babble, but she's been heard of elsewhere and on the phone with carlee!

3:13 pm

Uniquity

Yeah, that was her at 3 or 4 mos. Still loves the sink..and gives the kitten face (like in photo, head down, eyes up - very sneaky).

3:13 pm

Atalante

better than more kittens though :P

3:14 pm

gapeach1066@yaho

May I please have a clue for the ic4-6? I've tried everything. Thanks

3:14 pm

lbdawger

sandwic* + plural letter, peach

3:14 pm

abetterjulie

it is the fish disease, peach

3:14 pm

Uniquity

I'm glad Scarlet exists, in the real world at least! :) Spaying is better than listening to heats and cat menstruation too! Ewie!

3:15 pm

Atalante

absolutely! and that *awful* howling

3:15 pm

abetterjulie

5!

3:15 pm

gapeach1066@yaho

Oh, thanks, y'all.

3:15 pm

stidmama

hello friends, will clue for about fifteen minutes, then rush off to .... Uniquity???

3:15 pm

stidmama

go julie go!

3:15 pm

lbdawger

Stiddy!

3:15 pm

Uniquity

Oohh, Stiddy is rushing to me!

3:15 pm

Uniquity

**Holding breath for Julie's fire batons**

3:15 pm

Atalante

to emma, really

3:16 pm

Uniquity

Btw Ata, did I ever mention how gorgeous the Xmas card you sent was??

3:16 pm

stidmama

if emma is a cat, I will have to take antihistamines first!

3:16 pm

lbdawger

Uni, what's LoriP up to? haven't seen her in ages.

3:16 pm

abetterjulie

3

3:16 pm

Atalante

no, you didn't, but you can again!

3:17 pm

stidmama

yes, emma is a cat! *taking benadryl*

3:17 pm

Atalante

I felt really guilty sending one to you and Lori together, but it was the prettiest card I made all Christmas and you both should have the prettiest!

3:17 pm

Uniquity

She's become an early morning (for us) babbler, I think. She always seems to be done early and off! Keeping herself busy and warm in our snow-filled NS, I think. I'll let her know you were asking after her :)

3:17 pm

abetterjulie

2

3:17 pm

stidmama

*holding breath for julie*

3:18 pm

stidmama

diss

3:18 pm

Atalante

she babbles at about 5am!

3:18 pm

stidmama

oops....

3:18 pm

lbdawger

thanks Uni. she and i would grump about re words all the time. i do miss her

3:18 pm

Atalante

your 5am

3:18 pm

Uniquity

It was AWESOME. We re-use Christmas cards to make tags for next year, and I think yours is going to be *the* tag to have!

3:18 pm

Uniquity

Stiddy in the PB!

3:18 pm

stidmama

LOL and the silly thing is that I am dun! *sigh* I'll go rearrange the treats for the others

3:19 pm

Atalante

:D I do the same!

3:19 pm

Uniquity

LB, she passed her affection for RE words onto me as well..there is a gene involved somewhere!

3:19 pm

stidmama

no RE words today at least!

3:19 pm

lbdawger

lol stid.

3:19 pm

lbdawger

it's the re-factor, uni

3:19 pm

stidmama

LBD, I am starting to work in earnest on the application essays for the master's program... it's a lot harder than I expected.

3:19 pm

Uniquity

She does seem to babble at our 5 am. I am asleep at that time..I wake up at 8 or 9 (HEE) and she has been done for ages. I do so miss the babble chats with the Brits though. And everyone, really. We need a consolidated babble happy/happening hour!

3:20 pm

abetterjulie

Oh. I can't find the last two! oh, no...oh, no...starting to panic.

3:20 pm

stidmama

(ask for help...) *turning a lovely shade of purple*

3:20 pm

Uniquity

You're panicking, Julie? I am turning blue with held breath! We might need Caitlyn's skills..

3:20 pm

lbdawger

oh stid. you can do it. just do some free thinking essays first, then crib them together.

3:20 pm

abetterjulie

LOL...mama, you are so sweet.

3:20 pm

Atalante

we do!

3:20 pm

stidmama

good advice, thanks LBD

3:21 pm

stidmama

*figners poised to clue*

3:21 pm

Uniquity

Masters program, eh? If you can babble, you can get a masters anyday! Ata has a doctorate too!

3:21 pm

stidmama

LOL Uni!

3:21 pm

lbdawger

if you need an editor, send it on over. i'll be glad to proof and comment, stid

3:22 pm

stidmama

I will probably take you up on that!

3:22 pm

Atalante

Dr Ata :)

3:22 pm

abetterjulie

argh. Okay, i have the bad word, the leg part, the piece of wood, the quiet person~ish, what are the other sh words?

3:22 pm

stidmama

I am going to get over to school early this evening because I need to drop off some paperwork... was thinking about working on the babble story then...

3:22 pm

Uniquity

Enjoy, Stid. As someone with an (easy) essay due tomorrow, I understand the irritations of school.

3:22 pm

lbdawger

is that doktor ah tah?

3:23 pm

lbdawger

oooh babble story!

3:23 pm

stidmama

oh, you want sh 4/5 combo... like a title in hindi, julie... sh + consonant vowel

3:23 pm

Uniquity

Is Dr Ata in? $0.05? Or €0.05?

3:23 pm

crosshair

3:23 pm

abetterjulie

do you have the snake sound cross?

3:23 pm

Uniquity

Hm. My currency symbols turned into question marks. **takes small breath to maintain for Julie**

3:23 pm

stidmama

gets thee gone, cross?

3:23 pm

Atalante

$0.05!!! $500 at least!

3:24 pm

stidmama

and then plural julie... I think.

3:24 pm

abetterjulie

1 1 1 1 1 1 1 only 1! thank you mama

3:24 pm

3:25 pm

abetterjulie

thank you ALL, 'cause I could not have done that by myself.

3:25 pm

stidmama

di 5/14 is like the big book you look up words in, di**ionary + vowel

3:25 pm

cwestexan

no I didn't kje

3:25 pm

Uniquity

Congrats Julie! Was it your first?

3:26 pm

stidmama

the 6/30 is the same word, only instead of latin feminine ending, use latin masc ending

3:26 pm

abetterjulie

uh, oh. Now what do i do? *wanders around lost with no letters to monkey*

3:26 pm

abetterjulie

Yes, Uni, it was.

3:26 pm

3:26 pm

Yay! .. clue the 10 plz?

3:26 pm

Uniquity

That's wonderful! You're hooped now. I went 7 mos straight without missing a grid, then went cold turkey for ages. It's addictive!

3:26 pm

kje

it is called "I love Jesus but I drink a little" - Ping! posted it on her FB page

3:27 pm

abetterjulie

you may certainly borrow my monkey. He drinks green tea, though.

3:27 pm

Uniquity

Why is it that I never got a monkey when I joined babble, anyway? Everyone else seems to have got one just by signing up.

3:27 pm

i have some earl gray or black,or daejeeling

4:00 pm

Atalante

that does sound rather good!

4:00 pm

crosshair

and even though i love bacon..ill pass on the bacon flavored vodka

4:00 pm

Atalante

that would imply I had room in my freezer though :P

4:00 pm

periwinkle

must try that, cross, once I get some vodka

4:01 pm

crosshair

grey goose or smirnoff blue label

4:01 pm

periwinkle

my freezer is bare :(

4:01 pm

Atalante

4:01 pm

4:02 pm

Atalante

4:02 pm

4:02 pm

crosshair

4:03 pm

KatieMcG

We get our new beer fridge with freezer on Saturday. Vodka will be placed in the new freezer. We do indeed have a bottle of blue label smirnoff, export strength (50%)

4:03 pm

jillibus

plain vodka on the rox for me -- hi all

4:03 pm

Atalante

absolut is very nice if you can get it. grey goose. you'll never get a bad bottle of smirnoff, if it's not the best

4:03 pm

crosshair

and the white label is special order small batches only and very expensive

4:03 pm

Atalante

ooo wow!

4:03 pm

crosshair

there is a new black label absolut 100 proof

4:03 pm

Atalante

I keep seeing that

4:03 pm

4:03 pm

Zybruvka is nice (or however you spell it)

4:04 pm

periwinkle

4:05 pm

KatieMcG

alternatively there is always Asda's smart price vodka at £6.50 for 75cl!!! May I never be so poor that it seems a good idea

4:05 pm

periwinkle

it is very confusing going into the store to buy any kind of alcohol.

4:05 pm

Atalante

Tesco's value vodka is even cheaper!

4:06 pm

periwinkle

no vodka here :( just some apricot flavored brandy

4:06 pm

periwinkle

sure would like a vodka tonic

4:08 pm

KatieMcG

We have a cupboard full of alcohol, virtually every spirit you could want and most ingredients for cocktails. I usually just stick to wine but a V&T or G&T is welcome

4:08 pm

Atalante

4:08 pm

4:10 pm

4:11 pm

Atalante

I *love* it

4:12 pm

Atalante

especially with vodka and orange LOL

4:12 pm

4:12 pm

lil*monkey

hello to all Babblers

4:12 pm

Atalante

oh yes

4:12 pm

Atalante

well - a litre bottle of galliano is about £30 here, there isn't about £9

4:14 pm

Atalante

so if I simply went over to buy 2 bottles of galliano, I would save money

4:14 pm

Thanks, torgone, I found the ir6-18.

4:34 pm

KatieMcG

I once saw a streaker at a football (soccer) match. It was tipping it down freezing cold and he ran stark naked from one end of the ground to the opposite goal mouth and then threw himself on his face in a swan dive in liquid mud. He got a standing ovation just for the madness of it

4:35 pm

torgone

If you have ir6/18, then your eye is ir6/21.

4:36 pm

Atalante

I once saw a man on a train just get his bits out and carry on travelling. very odd

4:37 pm

torgone

Hoping someone might need a handhold?

4:39 pm

KatieMcG

lol if ata only 'thinks' she saw it there would have been no point using it as a handhold

4:40 pm

Atalante

I definitely saw it!

4:40 pm

Atalante

*sigh* husband just phoned up expecting sympathy that he just missed a train home cos he was drinking with his friends

4:41 pm

KatieMcG

so would it have made a good handhold?

4:41 pm

lil*monkey

Ata, if it happens again, you say "Oh thank you young man, for reminding me that I need to buy baby carrots"

4:41 pm

depends if you like very limp handholds
