I have a question - seeing as some of you have your Flickr photos showing in your profiles. When I go Pro and if I want some of mine I have on Flickr to show in my profile, do they have to be set 'Public,' I assume? All of mine on there now are viewable to 'Friends' and 'Family' only . . .
12:01 am

1:42 am
rururocks
when can we war and take action on poverty here in the US?
1:43 am
rururocks
I think about all the senseless loss of lives in iraq and feel hopeless about it.
1:43 am
BabbleRabble
I am very disappointed in many things
1:43 am
rbud
there's likely to be so much more poverty soon, too - at least I'm afraid there will. So many jobs gone.
1:44 am
rbud
laid off over 100 where my husband works, and his hours and benefits got cut back.
1:44 am
rururocks
ouch. rbud.. that is happening out here too
1:45 am
BabbleRabble
sorry about that rose.
1:45 am
rururocks
Even Law firms are laying lawyers off
1:45 am
rbud
we're well-versed at being poor, long years of practice. :)
1:46 am
rururocks
I grew up poor...
1:46 am
rururocks
so I do know what it feels like
1:47 am
rururocks
left home at 16 to start my life..
1:47 am
rbud
we own our house, so that's good. And Hubby's a good mechanic, besides his machinist job. Always cars and motorcycles to fix.
1:48 am
rbud
but so many can't afford to fix them!
1:48 am
BabbleRabble
the $18 billion in bonuses should have gone to keep people working
1:49 am

I would have been happy with the 1/2 a million AIG spent on spa treatments...
1:50 am
rbud
the war has cost over 600 billion!
1:50 am
rururocks
absolutely right on babble...
1:50 am
rururocks
the war has cost us the economy and trillions of dollars
1:51 am
jillibus
and the respect of many nations
1:51 am
rururocks
well.. to be honest jilli ... we lost the respect of many nations when we elected George Bush...
1:52 am
jillibus
and he started the war
1:52 am
jillibus
actually, you didn't elect him anyway -- the Supreme Court did
1:53 am
rururocks
because of his father... and not because of any real threat
1:53 am
rururocks
well that is true too jilli... that and some missing chads in florida...
1:54 am
rururocks
I thought Nixon was bad enough... then Reagan... now George Bush set a whole new standard for incompetence
1:54 am
rbud
I've always been a fan of the idea that we should send our leaders out to fight these things out in a one-on-one fight. Would sure change how we picked 'em, huh?
1:54 am
jillibus
no use going over all that now
1:55 am
rururocks
I would go with Hilary in that case...lol
1:55 am

Daniel 31-33 Thou, O king, sawest, and behold a great image. This great image, whose brightness was excellent, stood before thee; and the form thereof was terrible. 32 This image's head was of fine gold, his breast and his arms of silver, his belly and his thighs of brass, 33 His legs of iron, his feet part of iron and part of clay.

hi bsfog, hi Merk. Nothing seems to be wrong, Merk, but I couldn't enter the site at first, kept getting an error page.
2:15 am
lynxxx
hi Merk, not this end - except at hiccup time
2:15 am
lynxxx
hello bfsog
2:15 am
jillibus
didn't even notice a hiccup this time
2:16 am
Merk
I had to refresh to read my entry. It has all been brown boxes telling me to contact dr_god
2:17 am
sprite
ohoh, Merk, that is irritating. It was the normal chat behaviour during the hacking.
2:17 am
jillibus
that happened here last night -- weird
2:17 am
lynxxx
I see the red boxes now if I am trying to enter at hiccup time
2:17 am
sprite
I hope drG is alert to the possibility that the hacker will try again on the new server...
2:18 am
jillibus
well, I must go to bed -- library day tomorrow. We have a new computer system to learn :(
2:18 am
bfsog
it depends on what the hacker did. if it was relating to a bug in drg code then yes, he should patch it. if it was a server issue then its out of his hands
2:18 am
sprite
wow jilli, challenging. But you will manage, just give yourself time. Big *hug* and sleep well!
2:18 am
Merk
Oh was that last week's problem ... a hacker? I never heard that. I can only squeeze in time here in bits and pieces when I'm in China.
2:19 am
joshuavorbis
fireworks
2:19 am
jillibus
Are you in China again now, Merk?
2:19 am

it was, Merk.
Bfsog, that is true. I trust drG took a new server with better safety measures.
2:19 am

YAY josh!!!

2:20 am

not a good place, Merk, or just a cold place?

Cold place ... wonderful in all other respects. We saw the Snow and Ice Sculptures again ... better every winter.
2:20 am
Andree
back again
2:20 am
jillibus
I was out today and when I got home there was a message on my answering machine. It was all in Chinese! I think I heard the word for China and for Yes. Very strange.

lovely, Merk :) Glad you are enjoying your stay.
2:21 am
sprite
how odd, jilli!
2:22 am
Merk
Yes, I am, as always. I hope I make it back here in July. There's always the chance they'll assign me elsewhere, but I always put in my plea for here.
2:22 am
Merk
Well, it's back to work for me. Have a good end to your Wednesday.

Cool - is your house back in one piece again?
2:31 am
sandyloo
Cool, did your house blow up?
2:32 am
cool girl
there not private there academy ut what really annoys me is that my son was born in hackney has always schooled in hackney he had 100 attendance and won a science scholarship for hackney which is an underachieving area and he still didnt get a place it makes wonder what u have to do it seems only the badly brought up kids or the troublemakers seem to get everything
2:33 am
herinfernallady
Ok I am off two minds. My b.fs friend is getting married and I'm not invited. One mind is thinking maybe he wants to have a small wedding just friends cheap it low key. The other part of my brain is thinking. The snobby bastard wants the guests to buy gifts from a top end store and the reception is at a really expensive place. So how can you not have invited your friend and partner. I have been with the b.f for 6 years and this guy knows it.
2:33 am
sprite
very frustrating, cool
2:34 am
cool girl
thanks 4 asking about my home lynxxx its all fixed apart from painting no it didnt blow up sandy it flooded
2:34 am
sprite
lady, let your bf ask the friend why you are not invited
2:34 am
Andree
ooh herin that is bad, if you live with b f, then you should be invited , small wedding or not
2:34 am
sandyloo
that seems very unfair Cool and Herin that sounds as though they cant afford things
2:35 am
herinfernallady
Cool that is sucky about the school
2:35 am
cool girl
i would feel offended to hern id ask
2:35 am
Andree
b.f. should ask or refuse to go
2:35 am
cool girl
thanks hern
2:35 am
sandyloo
That is terrible Cool , it sounds like you are having a bad time
2:35 am
lynxxx
Infernal...I agree w. Sprite. That is just bad manners. Get your bf to check that the invitation does include you - naturally - otherwise if I was him I would decline it
2:35 am
herinfernallady
I think if you are having a weeding and you think well ''and guest'' they may bring a random person. But we have been together for 6 years. Its not like im some random slapper
2:36 am
Andree
is b.f. going herin
2:36 am
cool girl
yeah but after the storm the sun always shines
2:36 am
herinfernallady
No its says Dear B..... that is all its all fancy and stuff.
2:37 am
herinfernallady
Exactly Cool.
2:37 am
herinfernallady
No Idea Andree he is too interested in his new game
2:37 am
sandyloo
Nowadays , some people will invite only one to save money- so that may be it- I would take Sprite's advice herin and ask the bf to ask
2:38 am
cool girl
thats quite rude in england its common on an invatation to put and friend or guest on the card
2:38 am
Andree
i am sure if you are not invited he won't attend, it's so rude of his freind
2:38 am
herinfernallady
Sandy to save money you wouldn't have your dream weeding at Expensive Place with Guest list from Expensive Store.
2:38 am
Andree
friend too
2:39 am
herinfernallady
My pacifist mind is maybe they just stuffed up on the invites so be it
2:39 am
sandyloo
I guess so Herin, but you never know until you find out
2:39 am
herinfernallady
I wont find out as nerd boy has a new pc game.
2:40 am
Andree
i am sure it is just an oversight herin
2:40 am
cool girl
u will ever no unless u check get your partner to ring and just check then at least your no the truth
2:40 am
sprite
bye lyn *hug*
2:40 am

Cool also my aunt would say ''God opens one door to close another'' I am very sure your son will be expected some were better

2:43 am
sprite
cool :)
And I think as well that there is a better place for your boy to go, but finding it is quite frustrating.
2:43 am
herinfernallady
Can you start doing your research now and see if there is another place that will accept him and have a scholarship entrance exam? I don't know how England does it
2:43 am
sprite
not su4 if it is the meaning, but it sounds like place where eagles sleep, sandy
2:44 am
cool girl
they say everything happens 4 a reason ive just got to wait a litte while to see what it is
2:44 am
sprite
it would be nice if they told you the reason while you were having to face and solve the problems, wouldn't it!
2:44 am

2:50 am
sandyloo

2:50 am

2:56 am
Andree

2:58 am

it is quiet in here!
4:39 am
herinfernallady
BOOOOOOOOOO
4:58 am
herinfernallady
hi
4:59 am
herinfernallady
BFs are you married or just partnered?
5:01 am
bfsog
married? ha, thats scary talk
5:02 am
herinfernallady
OK so long term partner?
5:03 am
herinfernallady
Ok so if I sent you a wedding invite to just you and not her she would be pissed?
5:03 am
bfsog
does she know you? and am i willing to go without her?
5:03 am
bfsog
if she knows you as well then yeah she would
5:04 am
herinfernallady
Ok I know of her as in there is Mrs BFs (in theory)
5:05 am
bfsog
then yeah she would be miffed if she did not get an invite, especially as its a wedding, its always plus one isnt it
5:05 am
bfsog
but i wouldnt go without her so i would tell whoever sent the invite that mrs bfsog is coming
5:06 am
herinfernallady
Thats what I thought. my B.f just got a fancy invite no mrs mentioned. I have been attached to him for 6 years
5:07 am
bfsog
and the person knows he and you are together
5:07 am
herinfernallady
er about 90% sure
5:07 am
herinfernallady
but if not wouldn't it be and guest (sorry dude i totally forgot her name)
5:07 am
bfsog
if she didnt get an invite but it said "plus 1" then she wouldnt mind, as it is odd receiving an invite from someone you do not really know
5:07 am
bfsog
maybe the invite says plus 1
5:08 am
herinfernallady
Nope no where on it
5:08 am
bfsog
right to be miffed
5:08 am
herinfernallady
It says the usually weeding shtuff. Mr B and Miss B are getting married on this day You are invited
5:08 am
herinfernallady
Thank you
5:09 am

5:09 am
herinfernallady
I like to actually hear a male Point of View since mine ahs Empire Total war and is being useless
5:10 am
herinfernallady
Oh yes he has been friends with this guy for ages. I was thinking that it was small scale due to costs then I saw the venue and what they want given and from wear and im like nope there is no way they are being tight
5:11 am
herinfernallady
oh and these H words are driving me batty
5:16 am
bfsog

herinfernallady
hi presie
5:27 am

oh man! had to refresh again!!
what is wrong with babble??
5:27 am
mrpresident
hi infern :))
5:27 am
mrpresident
how you going chickie...? study ok?
5:27 am
herinfernallady
idno
5:27 am
herinfernallady
YEs that is all good
5:28 am
herinfernallady
If you read back tghat is my current issue
5:29 am
mrpresident
readback isn't working... give it to me
5:30 am
mrpresident
I see lickety has one extra word... hmmm
5:30 am
mrpresident
5 letter too
5:31 am
herinfernallady
ok long story short. Snooty uppity Wedding b.f has been invited to him alone. Not me so im pissy
5:32 am
mrpresident
tell them to FO, and he shouldn't go
5:33 am
mrpresident
that happened to me too, my BF was invited to his very good friend's wedding, but cause I wasn't, he told them to piss off and didn't go.
I thought that was very decent of him, and it certainly taught his friend a lesson in propriety
5:33 am
herinfernallady
Yes. My first thought was Oh he must be doing it on the cheap keep it small then I saw the gift registry (top end) and then the venue and im like FO no way
5:34 am
herinfernallady
Well mine is being a turd tonight
5:35 am
herinfernallady
I think he will speak to the guy simple mistake (but not to put on and guest is rude.
5:35 am
mrpresident
infern, he better do the right thing
5:37 am
herinfernallady
Or ill shake my fist. Sure hun its ok im not upset you go and have a good time and don't forget we didn't buy them a gift
5:38 am
mrpresident
I had to keep my wedding small, so I only invited couples who were living together... not just 'going out'. It made it simple and easy to understand. My now SIL wasn't invited cause she was a girlfriend (only just met my brother), and my ex BF didn't have his girlfriend invited cause they were not 'committed'.
I don't know if that makes sense to anyone, but I think it helped us to make it much easier with invites.
5:38 am
kje
isn't it common there to say mrp + guest?
5:38 am
mrpresident
no infern!
This is bullshit
5:39 am
herinfernallady
I think it is
5:39 am
mrpresident
kje, not when you need to keep your party down to 65
5:39 am
mrpresident
I wasn't invited to a wedding cause the bride didn't like me... they had 500 people at the wedding
5:40 am
herinfernallady
Well the venue fits 220 its at a snobby venue VERY $$$ and the gift Reg is through not DJ's
5:40 am
kje
but mrp - you didn't invite the singles, so that is different... if you invite a single, i think it is common to say "and date"... etc
5:40 am
herinfernallady
Well its not like I haven't been attached to him for 6 years
5:41 am
kje
surgically herin?
5:41 am
mrpresident
I didn't invite singles.
5:41 am
mrpresident
The only singles I had were in my wedding party. All three girls were single
5:41 am
kje
herin - he can call and clarify... I would like to bring my SO... then if they say no, you know
5:42 am
mrpresident
And all the boys in Lickety's party were singles too (except for 1, the best man, who was engaged)
5:42 am
kje
well... people should be able to do what they want on their wedding day... but if they are going to be super particular, then they should expect some may get offended
5:43 am
kje
how old were you guys, mrp?
5:43 am
herinfernallady
KJE we share the same Facially expressions at times
5:43 am
mrpresident
you are certainly a significant other... they are indecent not to invite you.
I do hope it was an error, but doubt it. These things are well planned
5:43 am
herinfernallady
Look Im not being a princess about this issue but alot of other fiends of ours will be there. OH KJE i miss you
5:43 am
Alexis Elise
Good Morning Everyone
5:44 am
kje
honestly, I have never gotten an invite that didn't say guest.... guess my friends keep hoping - LOL
5:44 am
herinfernallady
Hi Alexis
5:44 am
herinfernallady
Kje we loves you
5:44 am
mrpresident
we were 27 when we married!
Made sure we were both the same age! LOL, even if it is for 4 months of the year
5:44 am
kje
ty herin - i loves you all too
5:44 am
mrpresident
hi alexis... nice to meet you
5:45 am
Alexis Elise
Nice to meet you Mr. President
5:45 am
Alexis Elise
I had no idea the president liked to Babble
5:45 am
mrpresident
kje, I had to make a decision, to keep numbers down. It was difficult, but everyone understood
5:45 am
kje
seriously, alexis???? that is a hilarious book title!!!
5:45 am
herinfernallady
mmmmmm yummy Bananas sprayed 50 times a year now imported into Aus
5:45 am
mrpresident
LOL Alexis! indeed I do!
5:46 am
Alexis Elise
At least we finally have a president that knows how to spell :)
5:46 am
herinfernallady
WOW can I have $2000 for lip syncing and claiming I have talent?
5:46 am
kje
yep mrp... i think it is easy if you make that clear... it is different though if it can be taken as an obvious slight... like there has already been a history of excluding that person, etc
5:47 am
herinfernallady
Alex can I friend you on Flickr please?
5:47 am
mrpresident
oh indeed Alexis! smart, talented and handsome, with a gorgeous family
5:47 am
Alexis Elise
Of course
5:48 am
mrpresident
Love your pussycats Alexis!
Infern will shit you to tears with her pusscat stories! LOL (((hugs infern)))
5:48 am
herinfernallady
yah I love your Inapropriate kitty pics
5:48 am
kje
describing yourself or obama, mrp? cuz it fits either way - LOL
5:49 am
mrpresident
kje, I think that excluding a partner is rude... infern is living with her BF in a defacto relationship... it is the same as being married.
5:49 am
herinfernallady
Yep. Love my kitties
5:49 am
kje
agree mrp....
5:49 am
mrpresident
oh thanks kje!
I accept the handsome, but think I might be a little prettier! LOL
5:49 am
Alexis Elise
What do you mean inapropriate?
They just love each other
5:49 am
herinfernallady
Kitties 001 looks so naughty
5:50 am
Alexis Elise
I'm starting to think this president thing is a sham. His flag says he's from Australia.
5:50 am
kje
handsome use to be used in old books to describe women... wonder when it became for men only?
5:50 am
herinfernallady
Grody is a word
5:50 am
kje
i think it os spelled grodey
5:51 am
herinfernallady
Nope More words says Grody
5:51 am
kje
LOL herin - i can't believe it has it in there!
5:51 am
mrpresident
handsome describes a manly woman!
5:51 am
mrpresident
Alexis! can't I be a president??
5:52 am
kje
sorry mrp.... will not call you handsome - LOL
5:52 am
mrpresident
I am running for president across the universe!
5:52 am
kje
WILL call you sassy though
5:52 am
Alexis Elise
What's your platform, Mr. Pres?
5:52 am
mrpresident
oh thanks kje! I don't think I look too manly! LOL
5:53 am
mrpresident
I am PC, what is yours?
5:53 am
kje
her platform is shoes... shoes for everyone...
5:53 am
herinfernallady
drool shoes
5:53 am
kje
and another plank is that SO's should be invited to weddings
5:54 am
mrpresident
love shoes!!
and hats.... and bags... and gloves.... and jewellery...
HECK! I LOVE ACCESSORIES!
5:54 am
Alexis Elise
are we talking those awesome platform shoes like pee-wee herman wears?
5:54 am
kje
she also promises to keep babble free from trolls during her tenure
5:55 am
mrpresident
indeedy-i-do kje!
5:56 am
mrpresident

5:56 am
mrpresident

herinfernallady

5:57 am
Alexis Elise
Just don't ask me how many pair of jeans I own. That would take a long time to count...
5:57 am
kje
hi lori! LOL - just looked at the count when you said that... had started without looking, was distracted by wedding debates
5:58 am
mrpresident
hi lori :))
5:58 am
herinfernallady
One pair of 16 ups (i think) Docs, one pair of ankle boots, one pair of gym sneakers, one pair of black sneakers, a pair of ballet flats, a pair of thongs and a pair of heels
5:58 am
Alexis Elise
KJ, I don't even know where I would keep that many pair of shoes
5:58 am
mrpresident
I own 27 pairs of jeans
5:59 am
kje
well, i probably wear the same 4-5 pair most of the time... but you need others for certain outfits or occasions... or just cuz they make your legs look fantastic
5:59 am
herinfernallady
Hi Lori
5:59 am
kje
I own 4 pair of jeans - LOL
5:59 am
Alexis Elise
I like that we're all getting up and counting our clothes
5:59 am
herinfernallady
I have a tub of random shoes too. I love heels they don't love me.
5:59 am
Alexis Elise
How can you only have 4 pair of jeans KJ?
5:59 am
mrpresident

5:59 am
kje

6:00 am
mrpresident
I am the Imelda Marcos of Australia!
6:00 am
bichon
MrP, that's an oxymoron [so to speak]
6:00 am
Alexis Elise
I can't count my jeans... the boyfriend is sleeping and probably wouldn't like for me to turn the light on to count clothes :)
6:00 am
kje
cuz I only wear jeans on occasion... most of my wardrobe is for work and i cannot wear jeans to work
6:01 am
kje
jeans on weekends only... how many pair do you need?
6:02 am
Alexis Elise
i need hundreds, KJ
6:02 am
Scrabbler
Hmm, another small grid...evil too?
6:02 am
kje
and in the summer... i seldom wear jeans - too dang hot!!! I tend to wear light skirts or linen
6:02 am
mrpresident
Alexis! he is asleep!
6:02 am
Alexis Elise
My wardrobe consists of jeans and offensive t-shirts. I couldn't imagine wearing anything else
6:02 am
LoriP
G'd mornign Scrabbler! Ijust started, so it's not evil. Yet.
6:02 am

6:07 am
Scrabbler
Bichon--how much snow did you get?
6:07 am
mrpresident

6:08 am

Silly crossy
6:17 am
Alexis Elise
I tend to like tshirthell better. They really don't care what they put on their shirts so they're really offensive. I have to think about where I'm going when I get dressed most of the time.
6:17 am
bichon
ur + re 4/5
6:17 am
herinfernallady
Sadly not as the sites are pricey to send to aus. I do use the site for ideas.
6:17 am
mrpresident

i mean, there are twin studies on being split up, i wonder what happens to larger multiples
8:31 am
NonoNanette
that would be unfortunate ts
8:32 am
Anniebrook
thanks, flosey
8:32 am
tragicstud
but they'd have to, right? i mean, who can take care of that many babies at once? willingness to do it is almost grounds for insanity, ya know?

Mortal, guilty, but to me
The entirely beautiful.

It taught me to fight for my rights! Social Science was my forte
9:02 am
mrpresident
and my children question everything!
9:03 am
mrpresident
I love them for their intuition
9:03 am
Haz1558
My children question nothing. They know I am right, it saves so much time.
9:04 am
mrpresident
Haz, how true
when it comes to what I know and understand, they are completely in agreement... but I am a very educated woman
9:04 am
NonoNanette

Congratulations Nono!

9:04 am
Haz1558
It must be nice to be educated.
9:05 am
mrpresident
I might be wrong, but they have to prove it! LOL
9:05 am
Atalante
mustn't it?
9:05 am
Haz1558
You're coming through, BDG.
9:05 am
mrpresident
hi bookwoman!!!

Book Doctor Gwen
hiyall

Book Doctor Gwen
'sup, MrPrez??
9:05 am
Book Doctor Gwen
screen got stuck there . . .
9:05 am
mrpresident
am I on my own in being educated in the private system??
9:06 am
Atalante
nope. I went to the best girl's private school in the UK
9:06 am
Haz1558
We're so backward here we barely have schools.
9:06 am
mrpresident
Gwen! lovely to see you!
9:06 am
Pinikula
* yawn * morning all (here for a few)
9:06 am
Book Doctor Gwen
does australia call its public schools private schools? (in US, public ones are the ones paid for by taxes)
9:06 am
mrpresident
oh rubbish! the UK has wonderful school, as I understand
9:06 am
NonoNanette
morning Pini
9:06 am
mrpresident
hi pini!! get a cuppa and join us!
9:07 am
Pinikula
private v public schools? I attended DOD and parochial (both considered "private")
9:07 am
Atalante
england maybe, northern ireland'sa different story ...
9:07 am
Pinikula
Mmmm, thx mrp...
9:07 am
Haz1558
A different story completely.
9:07 am
chiley
I'm not book smart. I'm more magazine smart.
9:07 am
Book Doctor Gwen
lol chiley
9:07 am
Haz1558
Hello chiley.
9:08 am
chiley
Hi Hax and Gwen, and all Babblers
9:08 am
Atalante
they just learn how to drink guinness over there
9:08 am
Book Doctor Gwen
ooh, i found a 7
9:08 am
Atalante
and how to dress up as leprechauns
9:08 am
Haz1558
Yes, and how to brew poteen. It's the quality of the water that makes the difference.
9:08 am
mrpresident
I went to a Church of England School... cost my parents beyond comprehension.
But... if a child 'wants' to learn, it doesn't matter what school they go to... they will excel
9:09 am
Book Doctor Gwen
i was edumacated in public schools, and i have the mental damage to prove it 8-)
9:09 am
Atalante
not true at all
9:09 am
Pinikula
* gads, how I want to return to my warm bed - but know if I do, will be late for work *
9:10 am
Haz1558
Yes, the leprechaun training is very hard on those who grow tall.
9:10 am
Book Doctor Gwen
ooh, another 7
9:10 am
mrpresident
my children are very talented.
my daughter is extremely smart and has the opportunity to go to any high school.
Luke is too smart... so he will attend a school that has extention classes for special needs
9:10 am
Book Doctor Gwen
(sad to have missed the leprechaun training)
9:10 am
Haz1558
Those who have ginger hair have a natural advantage in the leprechaun training stakes.
9:10 am
Pinikula
you're rather perky this morning, Gwen...care to share your 7's? (I only have 1 and am not moving as quickly) ;)
9:11 am
Atalante
and those with that Irish charm and twinkles in their eyes
9:11 am
mrpresident
Ata, not true at all?
9:11 am
Book Doctor Gwen
okay, he7, a bunch of people who make square topiaries
9:11 am
Pinikula
are leprechaun exclusively irish? or are there any scottish?
9:11 am
Book Doctor Gwen
ca7, describes what the people did who brought all the food
9:12 am
Haz1558
I nearly forgot about the Irish dancing classes. Legs working like fury and your two arms the one length.
9:12 am
Pinikula
have that one, gwen ;)
9:12 am
Pinikula
had the ca5 of that one...didn't think to extend...thx gwen!
9:12 am
Haz1558
There are no Scottish leprechauns. We're exclusive in our leprechaunness.
9:12 am
Atalante
do you get sword dancing, or is that just Scotland?
9:12 am
Haz1558
We use swords for fighting.
9:13 am
mrpresident
Maddison is doing sword dancing this year! LOL
9:13 am
LoriP
My kids swallow swords. They're that good.
9:13 am
Atalante
didn't the IRA realise this? Silly people
9:13 am
mrpresident
She is learning the highland dance
9:13 am
Atalante
my dog does too
9:13 am
Pinikula
hmmm...sword dancing, eh? I think I'll watch (I kinda like being tall)
9:13 am
Haz1558
When there's disagreement over the best poteen recipe, out come the swords.
9:14 am
Haz1558
Those leprechauns may look benign, but fire them up with poteen, give them a sword each and stand back!
9:14 am
LoriP
We're even worse off here, there's only like 1 skool per every couple thousand kids. Learnin's highly overrated.
9:14 am
EvaNadine
*gives haz a gold star for excellent incorporation of a babblet into normal(ish) conversation*
9:14 am
mrpresident
In Australia, we have much wonder... our children are easily educated.
If I want my kids to learn something, I ask the school, and they arrange it.
It is an amazing charm of our schools system
9:14 am
Haz1558
And one teacher at the school?
9:15 am
Atalante
what about stripping?
9:15 am
Haz1558
Thank you, Evan. I'll treasure it.
9:15 am
mrpresident
stripping ??
9:15 am
Haz1558
Stripping lessons come later.
9:15 am
Book Doctor Gwen
do not get me started on schooling topics!
9:16 am
Haz1558
Don't you have teachers, Lori? They're the ones with the canes.
9:16 am
Vicuna
I do NOT want to see a leprechaun stripping.
9:16 am
mrpresident
stripping lessons???
9:16 am
Atalante
Haz could go to Aus and teach stripping
9:16 am
mrpresident
what are you talking about
9:16 am
Vicuna
Or have a misunderstood something somewhere?
9:16 am
Book Doctor Gwen
"grody" is a real word where i'm from
9:16 am
Haz1558
I've heard of something called a blackboard but it sounds a bit far-fetched.
9:17 am
Haz1558
It's okay. If leprechauns strip, it only reveals that they are completely covered in ginger hair.
9:17 am
mrpresident
are you talking about maddison?? stripping lessons??
9:17 am
LoriP
Haz, where are you gettin' all these fancy terms from? Hi Vic!!!
9:17 am
Book Doctor Gwen
ew, haz!
9:17 am
Haz1558
Some people think that they're seeing orang-utans, but no, it's just naked leprechauns.
9:17 am
Vicuna
Just as long as they're not into stripping AND shaving, then.
9:18 am
Haz1558
NO, shaving of leprechauns was outlawed in the 16th century.
9:18 am
tragicstud
i don't imagine anyone is suggesting stripping lessons for your daughter :)
9:18 am
Vicuna
So leprechains are not exclusively Irish! It's just that the ones in Borneo are too hot to wear the little green suits and buckled shoes and all.
9:18 am
Atalante
they are only allowed poodle cuts nowadays
9:19 am
LoriP
***Gah, neighbor is here. BBL***
9:19 am
mrpresident
I must say... my daughter just turned 11.
9:19 am
Haz1558
Good thinking, Vicuna. They have that twinkly eyed charm as well - the Borneo Leprechauns.
9:19 am
Vicuna
Oops, bye, Lori!
9:19 am
Haz1558
Stripping lessons only given to the wallpaper apprentices in leprechaun school.
9:20 am
Vicuna
I think this has a science article written all over it. To be submitted to "The Journal of Irreproducible Results."
9:20 am
Atalante
yep, about time she learnt
9:20 am
FMitch
I used to to strip a lot but I have no wallapaper left now :(
9:20 am
Haz1558
Of course, the paint apprentices in wallpaper school (Leprechaun division) have to be dissuaded from using themselves as paint rollers. So messy afterwards.
9:21 am
Vicuna
You could strip old furniture.
9:21 am
Pinikula
must be off to get ready for work...cya l8r today...
9:21 am
FMitch
Hey there Vi :)
9:21 am
Haz1558
FMitch! Yes, strip off all the polish and revarnish.
9:21 am
Haz1558
Bye Pini.
9:21 am
mrpresident
how extreme.
9:21 am
Book Doctor Gwen
(completely lost track of the gist of this convo)
9:21 am
Vicuna
Bye, Pini.
9:21 am
FMitch
Ah now ya talking Vi - old furniture stripping is brilliant but so time consuming.
9:22 am
Vicuna
ANd when they do the pole dancing.... whooeee!
9:22 am
mrpresident
gwen, it is an infamous convo...
9:22 am
Vicuna
We have a spindle-back chair with ALL the moves.
9:22 am
Atalante
could you dance around a pole stripping it? If a pole ever needed stripping?
9:23 am
FMitch
What wrong with Poles dancing?
9:23 am
J. C.
Good afternoon . . .
9:23 am
Atalante
they are too busy drinking vodka usually
9:23 am
chiley
Have you seen the book "Sliding down the flagpole naked" by Dick Burns?
9:23 am
FMitch
The Poish race have some wonderful country dancing skills
9:23 am
Vicuna
Do they dance to balalaika, or is that only Russians?
9:24 am
FMitch
LOL chiley
9:24 am
Haz1558
Ooooooh we could get into funny book titles - that's if we knew what books were.
9:24 am
mrpresident
one thing I can talk about.. I was expressing my feelings about my 11 year old daughter, and it went south.
Thankfully she isn't online.
Cause it could have been taken very badly.
But... I am giving my friends on babble the benefit of the doubt and wishing they are joking around
9:24 am
Haz1558
Of course, FM, you know all about the Greeks dancing.
9:24 am
FMitch
Not sure Vi but throw in some baklava and that will help grease the pole
9:25 am
Book Doctor Gwen
funny book titles, now that i can talk about. here's a few: http://tomfolio.pbwiki.com/AuthorAptro
nyms
9:25 am
Haz1558
I'm glad she wasn't online when you were talking about your underwear, mrp.
9:25 am
Vicuna
And have them wear balaclavas, too.
9:25 am
Haz1558
We've just been having some fun, that's all. NOthing directed at Maddison at all.
9:25 am
J. C.
Hmmm . . . I'll try that again. Good afternoon . . .
9:25 am
mrpresident
hi JC !!
9:25 am

Good afternoon J C

tragicstud
the room is strange right now
9:25 am
FMitch
MrP having only just joined the convo I have no idea what your post is about
9:26 am
mrpresident
totally understand that Haz! thank you for clarifying
9:26 am
Atalante
oh yes, I think that would have been more traumatic!
9:26 am
mrpresident
FMitch, no problem at all! thank you sweetie!
9:26 am
tragicstud
i keep looking up from my notes and shaking my head... :)
9:26 am
mrpresident

9:26 am
Book Doctor Gwen
i/m off for now, you kids enjoy yourselves 8-) *poink*
9:26 am
J. C.
Hi, Mr. President sir! Oops, I mean ma'am! ;)
9:26 am
Vicuna
I can only assure you, mrp, that when we discuss orangutans as leprechauns and antique chairs dancing to balaikas we are absolutely deadly serious.
9:27 am
FMitch
**snort***
9:27 am
mrpresident
bye gwen!
9:27 am
J. C.
Hi Tragicstud, Haz and Vicuna . . .

Got a cold, FM?
9:27 am
tragicstud
ugh- mrp, if you'd like to be put to sleep you can do my billing for me :)
9:27 am
mrpresident
You can call me mrp J.C.
9:28 am
J. C.
OK, mrp . . .
9:28 am

Sympathies, J.C.
9:28 am

*hands hydra a handkerchief*
9:28 am

The clue for gr5/20 - ignore it. It is an ex-gr5/20.
9:28 am
Vicuna
*buys stock in handkerchief company*
9:29 am
tragicstud
ok, gotta see a client. have a good till i see you again all :)

9:29 am
FMitch
Awy hydra - feel well soon, Im under the weather too.
gr5/20 is a phntom does not exist
9:29 am
Haz1558
Yes, do all buy Kleenex Balsam tissues. Nothing to do with me having shares in the business or anything, they're just awfully nice.
9:29 am
Vicuna
ca4/7 - low coral islands
9:29 am
J. C.
Erm - maie THAT 'clue'! I can't type now.
9:30 am
mrpresident
my goodness Haz! how long have you been online that you saw the talk about my underwear!???
THAT was a funny last laugh!
She is away... she is very sick.
9:30 am
Vicuna
Better correct "maie" while you're at it! lol
9:30 am
FMitch
LOL JC - welcome to the typo club :)
9:30 am
hydra
The ca4/7 is is like the Florida K--- spelt differently.
9:30 am
Haz1558
J C can join FM in the creative typing lesson.
9:30 am
J. C.
Got it - thank you so much, Vicuna! :)
9:30 am
J. C.
And Hydra . . .
9:31 am
J. C.
HAHAHA, OK Haz - my typing's usually not bad at all, when I'm not sick, overtired and dopey on cold medicine! :P
9:31 am
FMitch
MrP don't forget that anyone can look back at the log and even google it
9:31 am
hydra
My clue was lousy. It should have been singular. Brain full of muzziness.
9:31 am
Haz1558
mrp, I usually read back in the chat log. Sometimes my chin is at ground level by the time I've finished.
9:31 am
mrpresident
fmitch, they can, and I hope they see the bright side
9:31 am
Haz1558
J C - make any excuse you like, we've heard them all before from FM.
9:32 am
J. C.
Ooh, it gets that good, does it Haz?
9:32 am
FMitch
*picks up Haz's chin carefully and shut her gaping mouthg*
9:32 am
Vicuna
Then we have to hoist it up with some good-old-fashioned nonsense for her.
9:32 am
Atalante
the bright side of underwear ... hmmm!
9:32 am
J. C.
I see, Haz . . .
9:32 am
Vicuna
The side with the spotlights shining on it?
9:32 am
mrpresident
LOL Haz!! Lucky for my kids that they don't read the log
9:32 am
Haz1558
Thanks FM, the drooling was beginning to cause a problem.
9:32 am
J. C.
Lovely Spaniel in your photo, Haz - Springer or Brittany?
9:33 am
mrpresident
but, lucky for my kids that their parent's love eachother very much
9:33 am
FMitch
The brighter side of underwear - only if washed in the bio friendly bleach bestest washing powder??
9:33 am
Haz1558
She's Spangle, a Welsh Springer.
9:33 am
J. C.
Oh, OK - very sweet face on her! :)
9:33 am
Vicuna
"So you won't have ashamed-to-show-it whites."
9:34 am
Haz1558
She has - the breeder described her as having a 'Love Me' face.
9:34 am
torgone
Good morning kids ..
9:34 am
FMitch
Spangle AKA as The Glittery one and JC you should see Ata's bouncy dog too
9:34 am
Haz1558
Good morning torgone.
9:34 am
Atalante
she's not very bouncy in this pic!
9:34 am
mrpresident
Oh fmitch! it was totally wrong!
She presented my underwear to me... completely inappropriate! I had to 'chastise' L for the 'oversite'
9:35 am
J. C.
I have a lovely little girl myself - she's a mongrel though, a rescue adopted from a shelter. She's probably about the size of yours, only light-boned, and she's smooth-coated, solid black except for a tiny white streak on her chest and resembles a small Labrador, sort of. Her mum was a Whippet-cross, her father unknown - I suspect she has some Poodle in her though.
9:35 am
mrpresident
hi torg!
9:35 am
Vicuna
Good morning, tor.
9:35 am
Atalante
oversight, please
9:35 am
Haz1558
Spangle has a deeper bark than Ata's dog. Is that cause for smug?
9:35 am
Atalante
I think so
9:36 am
Haz1558
Dogs are great fun and lovely companions.
9:36 am
Vicuna
Ooh, you'll have to go pro so we can see pictures, J.C.
9:36 am
FMitch
Declres that Haz can be smug for a while - well half an hour.
9:36 am
Haz1558
I thought so.
9:36 am
J. C.
Yes, they certainly are . . .
9:36 am
mrpresident
oh JC! how adorable!!
9:36 am
J. C.
Mine is definitely a family member - she thinks she's my child, not a pet. She's right, as it happens . . .
9:36 am
blueheron
gm mama2 blue...mom
9:36 am
Haz1558
Half an hour of smug and then things revert to normality.
9:37 am
J. C.
She is, MRP - she has the sweetest little face!
9:37 am
Vicuna
*bracing for the smugstorm*
9:37 am
mrpresident
normality is under-rated!
9:37 am
Atalante
only I can be smug for ever
9:37 am
Haz1558
Spangle is definitely a dog. She even sleeps in a kennel. (Cue horror and severe reduction in smug)
9:37 am
Atalante
a cold, wet kennel
9:38 am
Haz1558
With spiders and earwigs and cats howling outside.
9:38 am
Vicuna
Wondering whether I ought to balance out all the folks whose animals are children by treating my children as pets... hmmmm...
9:38 am
Atalante
pooooor Spangle
9:38 am
FMitch
My goodness talking of cold and wet - it was a raging torrent of hideousness here last night - monsoon and glaes :(
9:39 am
Atalante
was it ever!
9:39 am
Vicuna
Actually, son would much rather be a pet. He thinks he's a kitten.
9:39 am
Haz1558
I know. The wonder is that the cruelty people have let her stay.
9:39 am
Haz1558
We haven't had gales but it's got so cold again.
9:39 am
FMitch
Vi as I don't have pets or kids can I include my best potted plant instead?
9:39 am
mrpresident
you want to know what happened to Maddison?
9:39 am
Vicuna
Yes. I have told both the cat and the kids that my houseplants were here first, and they get precedence!
9:39 am
Haz1558
Don't you have any stuffed animals, FM?
9:40 am
FMitch
Might do but that would be telling
9:40 am
Atalante
she does
9:40 am
Haz1558
A woman of mystery.
9:41 am
FMitch
Ata might have seen 2 of them on Monday when she was here
9:41 am
Atalante
she has pink fluffy rhinoceroses all over her bed
9:41 am
Haz1558
And if they're breeding, who knows how many there may be on her return?
9:41 am
Vicuna
Ata let the stuffed cat (or bear or whatever) out of the bag!
9:41 am
mama2maddie
gm mom :-)
9:42 am
mrpresident
wow ??
9:42 am
Vicuna
Pink fluffy rhinoceroses? That would be fab!
9:42 am
FMitch
LOL I just spit tea all over the place *sorry*
9:42 am
blueheron
nice day today sunshine
9:42 am
Haz1558
Have you always had these tendencies, FM? Pink rhinos and spitting tea?
9:43 am
Atalante
is that like being a spitting cobra?
9:43 am
FMitch
You've met me Haz so you shouldn't need to ask!
9:43 am
Haz1558
Another keyboard ruined?
9:43 am
Vicuna
good think I handed out handkerchiefs earlier so people can wipe up.
9:43 am
mama2maddie
not bad here either,,,in the low 50's
9:43 am
Haz1558
You mean that pink fluffy thing wasn't your purse, but was a travelling pink fluffy rhino?
9:44 am
Atalante
she carries one round with her? wow, it's worse than I thought
9:44 am
Haz1558
I think she needs an intervention.
9:44 am
Vicuna
Wear it on your head for true eccentricity, FM!
9:44 am
FMitch
OMG I need to pause to get breath loooooool
9:45 am
lkdubb
one to go.......GR 5/20 ????
9:45 am
Haz1558
Nothing says eccentricity like a pink fluffy rhino on your head.
9:45 am
mrpresident
ok, for those that are interested in maddison. she has gone up to the north coast to recover from her flu (since 10th Feb). This is her 3rd time on antibiotics.
I pray she will be home and in school by next week... cause she has missed 3 weeks of school.
9:45 am
Haz1558
gr5/20 - not needed, unnecessary in today's grid, an extra in Lickety's list.
9:45 am
FMitch
ikdubb there is no gr5/20, its an error onlicketys list
9:45 am
Haz1558
I hope she gets better soon, mrp.
9:46 am
mrpresident
thank you haz
9:46 am
Vicuna
Best wishes for a full recovery soon, mrp. That stinks.

Yes, I hope Maddie is well again soon, too, mrp. Must go now. I'm supposed to be going to Cornwall tomorrow, but can hardly get out of bed.

Ata - before you go - have you scanned int hat brill cartoon yet?

10:12 am
FMitch
Maybe the pink rhinos would be a good gimmick?
10:12 am
tragicstud
i really can't think of anything :(
10:13 am
J. C.
MRP - why does your little icon beside your nam indicate you're male, when you're not? At least I think it does - not sure. There is another one in a lighter blue?

It happens because Lickety uses a slightly newer version of enable, so the word counts to his generator but not Dr God's. At least, that used to be true. I assume it still is.

Hello JC :)
2:06 pm
J. C.
Hello, Liz! :)
2:07 pm
J. C.
Oscar was too cute as a baby - melted me! ;)
2:07 pm
J. C.
Even looked innocent, HAHAHA!
2:07 pm
lynxxx
ed5.16 Heath L***** won an Oscar
2:07 pm
Lizsark
I know! Lol. I have that one framed :) Butter wouldn't melt
2:08 pm
J. C.
Thank you, Lynxxx - but that doesn't seem to work?
2:08 pm
Lizsark
worked for me :) Thanks again Lynxxx
2:08 pm
J. C.
Oh it did, too - but how? Oh, yes - I see now!
2:08 pm
J. C.
OK - I'm hopeless, it's official.
2:09 pm
Lizsark
Gave me a few H words too :) And yet I am still only two thirds done :)
2:09 pm
J. C.
I commented on it, Liz. ;)
2:09 pm
lynxxx
You just shouldn't try to 'see' the words sometimes
2:09 pm
Lizsark
oh I must go and see
2:09 pm
J. C.
HAHA yes - you might just be right there, lynxxx!
2:09 pm
J. C.
Erm, well shhh if you do. ;)
2:10 pm
Lizsark
Tell me thats not true!!!!!
2:10 pm
J. C.
I don't believe this - I just saw two pitifully obvious words that I haven't seen for looking yet!!!
2:11 pm
J. C.
Where are my reading glasses . . .
2:11 pm
Lizsark
JC if that is the honest truth then I can tell you, you have a really beautiful dog :))
2:11 pm
J. C.
Thank you, LIz - I certainly think so!
2:12 pm
J. C.
When I get around to it, I will make an album for her.
2:12 pm
Lizsark
If slightly better behaved than mine lol
2:12 pm
Lizsark
I would love to see her :)
2:12 pm
J. C.
Erm, well - yes, but then what dog isn't??? ;) HAHAHA!
2:12 pm
Lizsark
OK I asked for that :P
2:13 pm
J. C.
I had to laugh at the photo of you entering Oscar in the Agility event - whatever he's meant to be doing there, I'm sure it isn't what he's actually doing?
2:13 pm
lynxxx
What sort of dog JC?
2:14 pm
J. C.
As someone commented, yes - cliff-leaping should've been an event, he'd ace that.
2:14 pm
Lizsark
At least he's not doing his favourite trick in agility - grab the jump pole and leg it into the distance!
2:14 pm
J. C.
Mongrel, lynxxx - I adopted her from Battersea Animal's Home, a large shelter in south London. All they knew is her mum was a Whippet cross - father unknown. We suspect she's part poodle, what else is anyone's guess!
2:15 pm
Lizsark
I tell you what though JC, Oscar is a monster and a lunatic but he is so gentle with the kids that I can forgive him most things
2:16 pm
J. C.
Awww, bless him - yes, Labradors usually have lovely temperaments and are very protective of their families as well, especially any children!
2:16 pm
lynxxx
Cute, would keep you fit. Know all about Battersea, we get lots of UK progs out here (of the mother country!)
2:16 pm
Lizsark
I wonder how she ended up in there JC.
2:17 pm
J. C.
A friend of mine had a beautiful big Golden Lab - he was very pale blonde. He used to have a habit of gathering sticks as he was walked, and would wind up with as many twigs and small logs in his mouth as he could fit - he'd set them down when he came upon another, then pick them all up again plus the new find, HAHAHA! It was so funny . . .
2:18 pm
Lizsark
Oscar has a penchant for carrying trees around. One day he couldn't find a fallen one so he pulled a fence post up and carried that instead - the farmer was sooooo unimpressed with me!
2:18 pm
lynxxx
perhaps he was building a nest - ?
2:19 pm
Lizsark
why is DOEY not a word lol? Oscar has doey eyes
2:20 pm
J. C.
She was given up along with all her littermates, Liz. Someone whose dog had had an accidental litter they couldn't find homes for - irresponsible with the mother, I guess. I'm a big advocate of spaying and neutering. There are so many lovely dogs being put down all the time for lack of homes - the need is so great. That's why I could never buy a purebred puppy.
2:20 pm
Lizsark
Lynxxx? Do you have the Q's yet?
2:21 pm
J. C.
Yes Liz - I thought that. 'Doey' should be a word, as in 'doe-eyed.' Not according to this puzzle, though . . . I'll have to try it next time I play Literati or Word Racer, if the opportunity presents.
2:21 pm
lynxxx
qu4.9 is a heifer, then its plural
2:21 pm
Lizsark
I see where you are coming from there. I just had a bad time with the springer we fostered. He savaged one of my beloved cats and had a real go at my old golden cocker. It kind of put me off getting a rescue for permanent but thats definitely what I will think about if and when the time comes.
2:22 pm
J. C.
Hmmm . . . 'hodge' isn't a word?
2:22 pm
Lizsark
Oh! Slaps head! Lynxx I always always forget the plurals! DOH
2:22 pm
J. C.
Oh no, Liz - that's terrible! Both my dogs (the lovely little girl I had before my present one) and my cat are all rescues from the same shelter. So you see, there are lots of lovely little dogs to be had there . . .
2:23 pm
J. C.
Or in any shelter, of course.
2:23 pm
J. C.
Your poor cat - was he OK?
2:23 pm
Lizsark
I know you're right. It was just a bad situation and I shouldn't let it put me off.
2:24 pm
J. C.
Oh for the love of dogs - two more painfully obvious words I never saw before for looking! :P Right, that's it - think I need a vacation!
2:24 pm
Lizsark
Yes, thankfully Ted (aka Mr Bear lol) was ok after some antibiotics and cuddles. He was a bit of a bruiser himself to be honest, but at the same time he was my pride and joy.
2:25 pm
J. C.
Awww, yes - well it's awful when any animal is injured! I always feel so sorry for them! I cried when I ran over a toad with my riding mower, when we first moved into this place - god, did that upset me! :(
2:25 pm
Lizsark
Oh my god! I'd have had a fit! Poor you, poor toad :(
2:26 pm
Lizsark
Right, I'm off to think up some more ideas for fundraising...have fun everyone. Lynxx, thanks for the clues :) and JC - can't wait to see the photos :)
2:27 pm
J. C.
I did, Liz - it was awful. Two of its legs were cut off, the poor thing! I was in tears!!! I had no choice but to back over him and finish him off for his own good. I felt horrible - I was a mess for a while after that! I had to have Mike help me - I could not go back out there and clean it up.
2:27 pm
J. C.
You'd have to add me, LIz - my albums are private, for obvious reasons. I have yet to make one for her, though.
2:28 pm
Lizsark
Oh ok - I have no idea how to do that but I'll have a go if you dont min me seeing :)
2:28 pm
J. C.
Well, I have a lot of work to do yet - I'm in the process of uploading all our photos from the recent trip - you know.
2:28 pm
Lizsark
Bye all :)
2:28 pm
J. C.
But getting time to see to any of it's been a trick!
2:28 pm
J. C.
Cheerio, Liz . . .
2:30 pm
lynxxx
I'm off too JC, Stewart, my grey, keeps hanging around, time for morning walk. Byee
2:30 pm
J. C.
Oohh . . . only 23 left!

OK lynxxx - take care!

tiny, did you ever find the gr 5/20? I'm looking too.
3:26 pm
Vicuna
There is no gr5/20. It's a mistake on lickety's list.
3:27 pm
Vicuna
Can't have you pulling your hair out.
3:27 pm
hlj25950
i think it's supposed to be grody for anyone who wants it
3:28 pm

You know I do that at just the slightest annoyance

Totally, dude. Gag me with a spoon.

Hi, chertyq63 . . .
3:36 pm

JC, I make a lot of typos.
3:36 pm

I've 23 words left to go . . .

stidmama
hello again JC -- feeling better?
3:37 pm

Hi Stid!
3:38 pm
stidmama
down to 34, I think I am ready for the list.
3:39 pm
cherlyq63
gotta run, time for school to be out, dd wants a ride home
3:39 pm
redturtlehead
I may have to resort to it too. apparently there is an issue with a gr5 that does not exist.
3:39 pm
cherlyq63
careful stidmama, its got at least one phantom or ghost on it
3:40 pm
J. C.
Hello again, stidmama - yes thanks, getting there!
3:40 pm
stidmama
ah yes, it's a gr 5/20, modern slang for "disgusting"
3:40 pm
stidmama
only one cherly, easily found and easily ignored.
3:41 pm
J. C.
Erm - I tried that gr5,20 you're suggesting, stidmama - and it didn't work? Unless it's something other than what I'm assuming you mean . . .
3:41 pm
stidmama
love it when the words I am missing are the roots of the longer ones I have!
3:41 pm
cherlyq63
alot of those this time
3:41 pm
redturtlehead
It doesnt exist JC.
3:42 pm
J. C.
HAHAHA yes - I've done that. Even worse, stidmama - I've found some really obscure words I've learnt through playing word games on Yahoo, yet missed blindingly obvious ones! :P
3:42 pm
Bethjt
Is anyone having problems with the second gr5. I got the clue from earlier. Am I just blind or is it a problem with the website?
3:42 pm
stidmama
gr 5/20 is the one that is in lickety, but enable is too old to catch it.
3:42 pm
stidmama
hello beth. the second gr 5 exists, but not as one that babble recognizes.
3:43 pm
J. C.
I only have one gr word - gr4,7.
3:43 pm
redturtlehead
Now, i have 34.
3:43 pm
stidmama
the only other gr is 5/14 a sort of grain I think
3:43 pm
stidmama
go red go!
3:44 pm
J. C.
Oh yes - I'm blind! I have that grain one, stidmama . . .
3:44 pm
stidmama
go JC go!
3:45 pm
stidmama
much quicker grid today than yesterday (for which I am grateful -- much still to do before I leave in a couple hours)
3:45 pm
redturtlehead
I am missing the grain and wow cant see it. Clearly not Quinoa...
3:46 pm
J. C.
Grrrr . . . gr5,20? (No, I know it's not 'grrrr', HAHA!)
3:46 pm
J. C.
It starts with 'gr' red. No, not quinoa, nor spelt, nor kamut, etc.
3:47 pm
redturtlehead
too bad it wasnt. I always get thrown off when oohs or aahs is in the grid!
3:47 pm
stidmama
well, since it's not a word that counts, would be willing to share the ghostly gr 5/20
3:47 pm
J. C.
Think porridge, red . . .
3:47 pm
redturtlehead
that did it JC< thanks!
3:47 pm
stidmama
I like "psst"
3:48 pm
J. C.
I'm confused, stidmama - how can a word in the grid not count?
3:48 pm
stidmama
we don't call porridge gr 5 in the states JC!
3:48 pm
J. C.
You're very welcome, red! :) Glad I could help . . .
3:48 pm
torgone
or "pfft"
3:48 pm
J. C.
I know, stidmama - it's a 'meal' there.
3:48 pm
stidmama
because the "dictionary" that Dr G uses doesn't include a lot of words in common use (and does include many that are quite questionable)
3:48 pm
stidmama
hello tor!
3:49 pm
redturtlehead
And a variety of foreign words.
3:49 pm
J. C.
Yes, I've been thinking that, stidmama . . .
3:49 pm
redturtlehead
TOrgone, Hello.
3:49 pm
J. C.
Indeed, red . . .
3:49 pm
stidmama
I am certain the RE 6/27 is furrin... any help?
3:49 pm
redturtlehead
what is furrin?
3:49 pm
torgone
A late night flight
3:49 pm
J. C.
Furrin? Yes - what's that?
3:49 pm
stidmama
aha! shipworm! *happy mama look*
3:49 pm
stidmama
thanks tor!
3:49 pm
stidmama
down to five...
3:50 pm
redturtlehead
TYVM tor, nice clue.
3:50 pm
J. C.
Yes - I had that one already.
3:51 pm
redturtlehead
Now have the worm, but am only down to 30, probably do the list soon.
3:51 pm
stidmama

3:51 pm

4:14 pm
forwardbyfaith
can someone tell me what "e" the er4,6 starts from?
4:14 pm
J. C.
Does he ever sit still?
4:14 pm
J. C.
Liz - have a question?
4:14 pm
J. C.
Whatever happened to his head? :(
4:14 pm
Lizsark
Not often JC, not often :)
4:14 pm
J. C.
Were those tumours I saw on it?
4:15 pm
Lizsark
Oh did you see that picture? Wasn't it awful! He had two cists the size of golf balls that got infected. He had to have them removed. He had 32 metal staples. You can still see the scar even now
4:15 pm
torgone
The leftmost one
4:15 pm
J. C.
Oh, cysts - they looked awful, yes! :(
4:15 pm
J. C.
Yes, I noticed the scar is still visible . . .
4:15 pm
J. C.
What did he do to the ligament in his hind leg?
4:17 pm
Lizsark
they were horrible and they went right down to his skull bones. As for the leg - he had his cruciate ligament replaced after a particularly mad leap off a cliff and severed it.
4:18 pm
J. C.
Stuck on ho4,7 - the second to last one, I think?
4:18 pm
J. C.
Starting with 'hor' . . .
4:18 pm
J. C.
Oh no - the poor dog! :( He looks so miserable . . .
4:18 pm
J. C.
Ouch!!! God - he must've caused himself some agony?!
4:19 pm
Lizsark
He wasn't a happy bunny but more because he had to be kept in than anything else. He was on sedatives and a dap diffuser and all sorts.
4:19 pm
J. C.
Ahhh . . . wondered how he was so 'sedate!'
4:19 pm
Lizsark
He didn't give the impression of being in pain to be honest. He was great at the vets - let them mall him around without any fuss. He's a bit of a star like that :)
4:20 pm
J. C.
Awww - sound like he's very friendly and easygoing?
4:20 pm
Lizsark
Oh he is. He's an angel (if you ignoreall the bad stuff lol)! Wouldn't be without him for the world :) Anyhow I could talk about him all night but I really have to go let him out before disaster strikes!!!
4:20 pm

Welcome back, cherty . . .
