FMitch

It is a red carpet grid today :)

3:31 am

Haz1558

Absolutely. Name that proper noun will go with a zing.

3:31 am

Sally-catlover

ooh, back in time for James Bond's drink. ty FM!

3:31 am

lynxxx

and Miss Jong

3:32 am

Haz1558

And there's Macca, or does a nickname not count?

3:32 am

FMitch

drop the last letter for a bird sally

3:32 am

Sally-catlover

I already did FM :-)

3:32 am

Haz1558

Mr Bolan's acceptable and we're all old enough to remember him.

3:32 am

Haz1558

But not Mr Polo.

3:33 am

FMitch

or change a vowel Haz for an Islamic site

3:33 am

Haz1558

I bet gremlinn doesn't get distracted like this.

3:33 am

lynxxx

but those things I never did learn how to write in Excel

3:33 am

Haz1558

Or the bingo hall......

3:33 am

Atalante

hellooooo not really here, got to go and discuss seaweeds. Back later!

3:33 am

FMitch

I remember him and still have a vinal LP of his

3:34 am

lynxxx

eww smelly - bye Ata

3:34 am

FMitch

Hi and bye then Ata

3:34 am

Haz1558

Or was it the ballrooms? Mr Miss World contest always had things in me5 ballrooms.

3:34 am

Atalante

not smelly! nice clean lovely seaweeds! :P

3:34 am

FMitch

lol Haz

3:34 am

Haz1558

Bye Ata! (Why would you want to discuss seaweeds rather than James Bond and Islamic sites?)

3:35 am

FMitch

or Bingo

3:35 am

Sally-catlover

(or bingo halls)

3:35 am

FMitch

snap Sally :)

3:35 am

Sally-catlover

lol, snap FM

3:35 am

Haz1558

Morley - Er** and Julia Morley, the Miss World people.

3:35 am

Atalante

and Mr Bolan whom I love and adore! I didn't know the grid would be this exciting when I set up this meeting yesterday!

3:36 am

Haz1558

Now, why is it that I can remember that, but I can't take a trip upstairs without forgetting why I was going?

3:36 am

FMitch

It will be here when you get back Ata.

3:36 am

Haz1558

You should know to make any meeting conditional upon the babble grid's excitement quota.

3:37 am

Sally-catlover

Haz, did you know they have invented a new stair lift for the elderly and confused called the Rocket? It gets you upstairs before you forget why you were going.

3:37 am

Atalante

yes, I should

3:38 am

Haz1558

I need a rocket! Does it work both ways? Does it get you downstairs equally fast?

3:38 am

FMitch

ROFL

3:38 am

rubyfoo

unfortunately, there's a VERY fast way to get down the stairs and we all had better watch out for that one!

3:39 am

lynxxx

I think FM got dibs on that first Ruby

3:39 am

Haz1558

Ata, you could have people thinking that you're involved in code-cracking/espionage. 'I have to work on deciphering words, so sorry to have to cancel'

3:39 am

rubyfoo

I am juggling many visitors ' schedules for late April, early May. My son is coming and I'm soooo happy!

3:39 am

Sally-catlover

ruby, you really must stop putting trip wires on your stairs. He will notice eventually.

3:39 am

rubyfoo

hahah

3:40 am

rubyfoo

he is making a big production about my birthday, but all I realy want is a week without sarcasm!

3:41 am

Haz1558

Oh, if it's sarcasm you're wanting to avoid, you've come to the right place, ruby. We're strangers to it here.

3:41 am

rubyfoo

this is another no-noodle puzzles

3:41 am

Atalante

we don't understand sarcasm at all

3:41 am

Atalante

anyway, must *really* go! back this afternoon!

3:41 am

rubyfoo

I just fell off my chair laughing!

3:41 am

Haz1558

We're Brits.....

3:41 am

rubyfoo

do you know moss, too, ata?

3:42 am

Sally-catlover

Now now, Haz, not sarcasm. Irony.

3:42 am

Haz1558

See you later, Ata!

3:42 am

Haz1558

Ata knows everything. She is Einstein's granddaughter, after all.

3:42 am

FMitch

TTFN Ata.

3:42 am

Atalante

yes, and I say its sarcasm. LOL. How ironic!

3:42 am

Sally-catlover

Bother. Man arrived doing some work here. Back in a little bit.

3:43 am

FMitch

Ruby what date is yr b'day?

3:43 am

rubyfoo

I say it's spinach, and the hell with it!

3:43 am

rubyfoo

17th

3:44 am

rubyfoo

that was the punchline of a very old New Yorker cartoon

3:44 am

FMitch

We will have ababble party on the 17th then :)

3:44 am

Haz1558

Headlines in local French paper 'Elderly man admitted to hospital suffering from moss poisoning. Wife claims it was spinach'

3:44 am

rubyfoo

lol. Would you believe that I used a yoghurt solution for planting the moss? The lizards love it!

3:45 am

rubyfoo

which is better, moss poisoning or the trip wire? There are also nightshade that grow next to the raspberries and blackberries, a thought for August!

3:45 am

FMitch

yoghurt and or urine are v good for getting mosses to start and ageing old stones.

3:45 am

rubyfoo

thank you fm and haz, I'll be right back!

3:46 am

Haz1558

You need a method that covers your tracks. Could the dogs be trained to trip him up in dangerous places?

3:46 am

Haz1558

They'll not spill the beans, no matter how much dog food they're offered.

3:46 am

FMitch

well don't give the dogs the beans in the first place!

3:47 am

lynxxx

I know about the yoghurt FM, but urine? wouldn't that kill

3:47 am

Haz1558

I know. I'm wondering about the urine as well. Dare we ask for more details?

3:48 am

FMitch

aparently not lynxxx it is only used as a starter element but I have to say have never tried it.

3:48 am

Haz1558

I've not seen if featured on Gardener's World.

3:49 am

Haz1558

*it

3:50 am

FMitch

probably best that it wasn't Haz

3:50 am

Haz1558

I know. Just can't imagine old Percy Thrower being in approval.

3:51 am

rubyfoo

Evidently that's how you keep deer out of your vegetable garden, urine and hair! No deer here, however, the French have eaten all of them

3:52 am

rubyfoo

and I have no success with growing vegetables. I likved the yoghurt idea as it doesn't smell and seemed very BIO! And the rocks are pretty close to the stairs, bad enough that Max goes there!

3:53 am

FMitch

That is true too ruby.
and on that note I must poof as have things to do this morning but will be back later.

3:53 am

lynxxx

well if Max goes there you will be able to see if FM's theory works

3:53 am

lynxxx

bye FM

3:53 am

Haz1558

See you later, FM.

3:53 am

rubyfoo

it is very hard to keep the moss alive as it dries out really fast and needs to be watered twice a day

3:54 am

rubyfoo

bye haz

3:54 am

sprite

back, hello all

3:54 am

rubyfoo

bye fm

3:54 am

rubyfoo

are you still here lynxx???

3:54 am

Haz1558

It's FM who's going, ruby.

3:54 am

lynxxx

hi Sprite

3:54 am

Haz1558

Hello, sprite.

3:54 am

rubyfoo

hello again sprite

3:55 am

rubyfoo

I'm a little confused this AM, why did I come here? Oh yeah, to learn about rockets and seaweed

3:55 am

Haz1558

ruby, you need to move to Britain, we have NO difficulty growing moss, it sprouts everywhere, unbidden and unloved.

3:55 am

rubyfoo

so that's why it's so green!

3:56 am

Haz1558

Yes, while you're trying to grow it, British gardeners are trying to get rid of it.

3:57 am

rubyfoo

I even like it in the lawn, from this distance, it looks like grass

3:57 am

rubyfoo

and it stays green all winter

3:58 am

sprite

we have many songs about how pleasant one can rest on soft moss. I tried that once. They don't sing about how wet moss is.

3:58 am

sprite

*pleasantly

3:58 am

Haz1558

Yes, it just loves a moist atmosphere.

3:58 am

rubyfoo

or about the small (biting) creatures that live in it

3:59 am

rubyfoo

is today's grid them measurement?

3:59 am

rubyfoo

theme*

3:59 am

sprite

lol, sin bin for a typo?

4:00 am

sprite

if you click on my profile, rubyfoo, you will see what the theme is

4:00 am

rubyfoo

my excuse is that it is so cold in my studio that my fingers are numb!

4:00 am

Brookie

Hi everyone!

4:00 am

Haz1558

Hello, Brookie.

4:00 am

sprite

hiya Brookie

4:00 am

Brookie

Hi haz, sprite! The grid looks fun today!

4:01 am

sprite

it is fun. Not one of the easiest grid, but smooth until about halfway for sure.

4:01 am

Haz1558

It's got a lot of interesting words, not many long sequences going but still fun.

4:02 am

lynxxx

hi Brookie. You are early

4:02 am

rubyfoo

I didn't know that was a real thing, sprite, thank you

4:02 am

Brookie

That's fine. I'm taking a several-day hiatus from my 2nd job (editing), so I have more time to work on these grids.

4:02 am

rubyfoo

hi brookie

4:02 am

sprite

yvw

4:03 am

Brookie

Hi lynxxx and ruby. I've been up since 4 a.m. and am strangely feeling well rested!

4:03 am

sprite

hehehe will talk to you at about 15.30 this afternoon... when the man with the hammer pays you a visit...

4:04 am

Brookie

lol

4:04 am

Brookie

At 15.30 I'll be at work, so I'll just have to tell my coworkers to be quiet while I nap at my desk.

4:05 am

sprite

good idea! Tell th4 they shouldn't snore

4:06 am

sprite

I found a drink!

4:07 am

Brookie

One in the grid or one to virtually share with fellow babblers, sprite?

4:07 am

rubyfoo

my husband's favorite!

4:07 am

rubyfoo

in the grid I think....

4:07 am

sprite

both. Well, you guys can share it, lol, I don't drink and it is only 11 am here, so two good reasons not to touch the stuff :)

4:08 am

Sally-catlover

I take it the drink is shaken, not stirred?

4:09 am

Brookie

found it, thanks to sally's clue!

4:09 am

sprite

exactly!

4:09 am

rubyfoo

for sure, just ask crossy

4:10 am

sprite

wtg Sally and hi

4:11 am

Sally-catlover

hi sprite, been in and out a bit this morning.

4:11 am

Brookie

4:11 am

sprite

glad to see you, Sally

4:12 am

Sally-catlover

and you sprite. Is today a good day for you?

4:12 am

sprite

yay my first 8. Withdrawn.

4:13 am

Haz1558

Going to take a break, back later to tease a few more words out of this thing.

4:13 am

sprite

it is, Sally. Am feeling better and doing some fun things and some necessary things. Will feel good about myself this evening too :)
And how are you today?

4:13 am

sprite

bye for now, Haz

4:14 am

Haz1558

The only other 8 I have is tr. It might be a command from Mr Clapton's mother to the barber.

4:14 am

rubyfoo

I'd like to get to half before lunch....

4:14 am

Haz1558

Toodle-oo!

4:14 am

rubyfoo

too funny clue, haz!

4:14 am

Sally-catlover

Better than yesterday :-) Had a very long drive Sunday to visit husband's very sick cousin, and I have to do the majority of the driving, so was tired yesterday.

4:14 am

lynxxx

bye Haz

4:14 am

sprite

great clue!

4:14 am

Haz1558

Glad it worked! Bye!

4:15 am

lynxxx

4:15 am

rubyfoo

4:15 am

4:15 am

rubyfoo

helo?

5:51 am

bichon

hi, g'day. Was there a clue for the tr8?

5:54 am

Haz1558

Hello, bichon. I clued it earlier as being what the mother of Mr Clapton might have said to the barber.

5:54 am

bichon

hmmmm

5:55 am

bichon

got it, ty Haz

5:55 am

Haz1558

Glad you got it, bichon.

6:00 am

herinfernallady

hello

6:01 am

Haz1558

Hello, herin.

6:01 am

herinfernallady

Thank you for the clue

6:01 am

Haz1558

You're welcome.

6:01 am

herinfernallady

my sides still hurt from freaking out the cat and not being blamed for it

6:02 am

Haz1558

I don't understand what you mean?

6:03 am

FMitch

Hi Haz and herin
Just back from the garden centre.

6:03 am

herinfernallady

Ok I moved the cat jumped but because the little black guy was under her I didn't get blamed. HI FM

6:03 am

Haz1558

Hello, FM. Did you purchase anything interesting?

6:05 am

FMitch

Priced up water butts and bought a couple of bits but nothing exciting yet. Have just been on the phone to local handyman who I will employ to bring said water butt and install it next week and link it into the down pipe - v green :)

6:06 am

Haz1558

Your green credentials will be rocketing.

6:07 am

FMitch

seeing as there is no tap for a hose in the garden it seemed like a great idea.

6:07 am

FMitch

Loved yr clue for the tr8 btw, inspired.

6:08 am

Haz1558

It's a very good idea, you just need to hope that we get enough rain.

6:08 am

Haz1558

Thank you! Taking a modest bow.

6:08 am

FMitch

sprinkles a few drops of smugness over NI :)

6:09 am

Haz1558

We're still smug after the Grand National win!

6:09 am

FMitch

Wasn't that something? I didn't actuall see the race but from what I have read it was a great one. How about the horse that really didn't want to take part?!

6:10 am

bichon

what are water butts, may I ask from across the pond

6:10 am

FMitch

Hi bichon - they are big containers for collecting rain water.

6:11 am

Haz1558

I watched a recording of it, it's on BBC iplayer still, I think. He mentioned his old mentor, Billy Rock from Cullybackey, who first took him under his wing - that was nice.

6:11 am

bichon

okay, rain barrels at the bottom of downspouts?

6:12 am

FMitch

yes that the sort of thing bichon

6:14 am

FMitch

unfortunately with modern houses there is no spout so you have to buy a kit that cuts into the pipe and channels the water into the barrel.

6:15 am

FMitch

phone back in a bit.

bethn

I am not sure, but my dad may have played a large part in that decor. everything after was much more tasteful. my Baba (russian grandma) was very big into plastic. She seemed to fel it relieved her of ever having to actually clean

11:15 am

Haz1558

ruru, I've seen drivers never take their plastic off the new car seats, never people with furniture. Didn't you slip off seats a lot?

11:15 am

rururocks

I felt like walking bacteria when I was younger

11:15 am

Haz1558

ic5/ comes from that i, car. ic plus a twitch.

11:16 am

Haz1558

Also ic7 , ic, a consonant, finish off with Mr Clapton.

11:16 am

Judi

Going back to see the spinal specialist next Thurs. He's probably going to jab me with needles. However, at this point, I'm kind of looking forward to it.

11:16 am

rururocks

we never sat on them haz.. it was pulled off for company... kind of stepford -wives like weirdness

11:16 am

car.eeyore

TY Haz! Off to work now!

11:16 am

bethn

Baba's plastic had little bumps that gave you some traction so slippage was not a problem

11:16 am

Haz1558

Well done, car - have a good day!

11:16 am

rururocks

ouch Judi

11:17 am

jmbdobie2

11:17 am

Boobear

clue for cr 7 pls

11:17 am

Judi

*giggling at plastic covered furniture* Bet it was hot in the summer.

11:17 am

Haz1558

Back pain is so wearying and exquisitely agonising.

11:17 am

SeaSpray

Judi...what is wrong?

11:18 am

bethn

your thighs made a sound when you stood up as they peeled off the plastic

11:18 am

Haz1558

cr7 - like the story of how the world was made in Genesis, but lose a vowel at the end.

11:18 am

Judi

Have ruptured disc at L4/5. Causes lower back pain and shooting pain into my hip.

11:18 am

Haz1558

Or, in the cr5/12 preceding, reverse the order of the vowels and add the opposite of out.

11:19 am

bethn

Judi, have you been to pain specialist? I just had a adio frequency ablation at l4, l5, s1. The burn the nerves at those levels and it really helps abate the pain

11:19 am

SeaSpray

hmmm friend just found out he has 3 herniated discs in upper spine, wondering if they will poke him with needles?

11:20 am

bethn

*radio

11:20 am

Haz1558

Are you managing to sit in any degree of comfort?

11:20 am

Judi

I'm curently seeing a spinal specialist who is also an orthopaedist and a pain specialist. Thank goodness for overachievers.

11:21 am

SeaSpray

sounds like you are at the righ place Judi

11:21 am

bethn

I hope he helps, mine

11:21 am

bethn

has given me back a quality of life that was priceless

11:22 am

Judi

He had me go to physical therapy. I went to six sessions. The pain got much worse. *shrug*

11:22 am

bethn

PT did'nt help for me either

11:22 am

SeaSpray

was wondering about that, is surgery not an option?

11:22 am

Haz1558

Physiotherapy helped me eventually, but they can find pain you didn't know you had.

11:22 am

SeaSpray

or is it a last resort?

11:23 am

Judi

I'm making a note of that radio frequency ablation, bethn. Sounds better than epidural injections that he mentioned at my consultation.

11:23 am

bethn

surgery on discs can pb problematical. when the repair (fuse ) one, the next one up tends to go bad over the next several years so it is usually a last resort

11:25 am

SeaSpray

he has already had a spinal fusion in his lower back, sounds like he may want to reconsider surgery

11:25 am

Judi

I can sit okay. Just getting up and walking hurts quite a bit. Stairs are a killer. Laying down is somewhat problematic (until the meds kick in and I fall asleep). Been out of work for two days because I don't even want to think about getting in and out of the car.

11:25 am

bethn

epidurals can help but usually not long term. I have had them under twilight sleep. the dr uses a fluoroscope so he can see exactly where to put the needles. No pain & you wake up feeling much better . Itis usually temporary (for me) bur the relief can be amazing. Also ask about facet injections

11:26 am

SeaSpray

ok, will relay the info, ty bethn

11:26 am

rururocks

last cr7?

11:27 am

bethn

did you have a fall ? Or lift something badly?

11:27 am

Haz1558

And even the fact that you can't drive helps to reinforce the feeling of restriction and annoyance.

11:27 am

Judi

Where do they insert the fluoroscope, bethn?

11:27 am

Haz1558

cr7 - starts like the previous cr words, ends in not day (American style)

11:28 am

bethn

that is just like an overhead x ray that reacts to some "ink" that they inject just needles go in

11:28 am

bethn

just need a bandaid afterward, and back to work next day

11:29 am

Judi

Fell down some stairs about 5 years ago. Landed right on me bum. Then did the same thing about two weeks later. Family doctor said it was probably just a bruised tail bone. Later he said "arthritis". Glad I kept after it.

11:29 am

bojazz

Judi - if you can get a referral to Dr. William Rambo in Columbia, SC go see him. Had the same problem as you. Had surgery in '06 and not a lick of pain since and I routinely lift 55-60 lb buckets every day.

11:29 am

rururocks

thank you haz..

11:29 am

Haz1558

You're welcome, ruru.

11:30 am

Judi

I don't think I'm so desperate that I have to seek out of state help yet. But, thanks for the info, bojazz. Surgery hasn't even been mentioned. I just want to get to the point where I don't have pain so I can exercise like I used to.

11:30 am

bethn

ouch! judi, I know what that is like. I fell down the front steps in an ice storm, broke my back and herniated l4, l5, s1. no fun

11:30 am

crosshair

reading back,i also have 3 herniated disks in my neck and it is not pleasant.im sorry your in pain judi

11:31 am

bethn

hi crossy!

11:31 am

Haz1558

I think that's part of the frustration, Judi, not knowing if or how that pain is going to go.

11:31 am

SeaSpray

what did you do about it crossy?

11:31 am

crosshair

howdy beth

11:31 am

Judi

Uhg, bethn. That sounds terrible! So glad you found relief, though.

11:32 am

Judi

Crossy uses bacon therapy.

11:32 am

crosshair

i rode it out seaspray,learn to rebehave.as many have said here,surgery is a vely last resort,for many reasons

11:33 am

crosshair

over time..lots of it,the herniation will pull away from the nerves(somewhat)

11:33 am

SeaSpray

well the person I am referring to is 68 years old and goes nonstop all day long, like a rat on acid, thinks he is superman, he will have a big adjustment

11:34 am

crosshair

last think i want is fusion surgery in my neck

11:34 am

bethn

I am not as physically able as I used to be, I walked 7 miles daily in the past, can usually do 1-2 now a couple times a week if things are not flaring up. I go thru periods where I am very restricted and see my Dr @every 9-10 months

11:34 am

crosshair

he will

11:35 am

Judi

I have a theory that if/when I'm able to exercise properly again, I can lose some weight and that alone will ease some of the pressure on the affected nerves.

11:35 am

crosshair

lol,i heriated my disks exercising

11:36 am

SeaSpray

gives me a good reason not to exercise lol

11:36 am

Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

11:46 am

Nancy Boy

LOL Katie!

11:46 am

KatieMcG

used to be 16 for smoking but they put it up to 18 a few years ago

11:46 am

Judi

Am4 to that NB. I had my first fake ID when I was 16. It was a much more gullible world back then, though.

11:46 am

Haz1558

Hello, Flask. ci7/32 - the first one looks like c plus a word that means very angry, but use a double helping of the consonant at the beginning.

11:47 am

bethn

it was 18 when I was a teen, I was not a big drinker

11:47 am

KatieMcG

I still can't get over the fact you can't get alcohol in your supermarkets

11:47 am

Haz1558

The second ci7/32 puts a vowel onto the end of ci6/21, think lemons etc.

11:47 am

KatieMcG

ty haz

11:47 am

crosshair

lol,i remember when i became of legal drinking age(was 18 at that time) i was sitting on the curb outside of beer store at 9:55 wasiting for it to open lol

they can, katie, at least in some states. just not spirits.

11:47 am

Nancy Boy

Ugh, Katie - I got caught in the middle of that. I started smoking at around 16...and then suddenly when I was 17 I couldn't get them anymore!

11:48 am

11:49 am

*shuffles feet sheepishly*

11:49 am

Judi

I got so hosed on drinking ages. When I turned 18, the state of NY decided to raise the drinking age to 19. I was legal for 6 months. When I turned 19, they decided to raise it to 21. I was legal for 6 months. Complet idiocy.

11:50 am

Haz1558

Flask, use the first three letters of the ci4/5 that precedes it, then add a four letter word that describes the speed at which something is done.

11:50 am

Nancy Boy

LOL Judi! what a pain

11:50 am

12:07 pm

carleekat

I'm doing..life goes on...

12:08 pm

Haz1558

The grid is one which requires attention, concentration and a reasonable vocabulary.

12:08 pm

Nancy Boy

maybe one day! Until he agrees you'll have to make do with my description of him, which may be biased but he is lovely ;)

12:08 pm

crosshair

and a unreasonable vocab as well;))

12:08 pm

movieman

I've found three movie-based words so far (the ci4, ci6 and cr6)

12:09 pm

Judi

I have a vobabbulary. Does that count?

12:09 pm

Haz1558

True.

12:09 pm

EvaNadine

well, if hes anywhere near as dreamy as you, im not sure i could take it. ;)

12:09 pm

Dorens

lol judi

12:09 pm

crosshair

ty movieman

12:09 pm

Atalante

I think she was, Judi!

12:09 pm

Haz1558

movieman, there's a Michael Caine movie 'Get Ca6)

12:09 pm

Nancy Boy

oh don't Eva, I'll get all big headed. Again ;)

12:09 pm

movieman

yw crossy

12:10 pm

KatieMcG

I know we don't want to talk politics but I just thought I would point out I can't vote because I am away - I feel so angry about it but there is nothing I can do, this must be what disenfranchised means!

12:10 pm

EvaNadine

im sure you hate it, NB. ;)

12:10 pm

movieman

Oh yeah haz, got that one too

12:10 pm

Haz1558

I wonder how many babble points disenfranchised would get?

12:10 pm

Atalante

postal vote???

12:10 pm

Judi

I think NB is worried that we will think Leo is dreamier.

12:10 pm

Nancy Boy

well...:D

12:10 pm

Nancy Boy

LOL Judi!

12:10 pm

crosshair

there is often a early vote available for those that will be away

12:11 pm

EvaNadine

judi, im not sure thats possible!
my head would explode!

12:11 pm

crosshair

is here anyways

12:11 pm

Judi

Actually the truth behind NB's icon picture... Leo is under his elbow, deliberatly squashed out of the camera frame.

12:11 pm

KatieMcG

with us you can do a postal vote but that is only sent out 4 days before. The only alternative is a proxy vote but Mari is with us and I don't really want anyone else to know the way I vote as it is a very private thing

12:11 pm

EvaNadine

hah!
now THAT i could believe! ;)

12:12 pm

Nancy Boy

There is only room for one ego in this frame!

12:12 pm

Judi

12:14 pm

Boobear

does anyone want some egg salad

12:14 pm

KatieMcG

hmmmm that sounds good, trying to decide what to do for dinner, something soft which doesn't need chewing or the mouth wide open lol

12:14 pm

Haz1558

Or, er7 - three to do wrong, two to say a short hello, half a Hawaiian goose.

12:14 pm

Judi

Poor Katie. Sounds like soup for you.

12:14 pm

Boobear

how about a smoothie Katie

12:15 pm

Nancy Boy

oh no, Katie - what happened?

12:15 pm

Haz1558

Soft boiled eggs, mashed up.

12:15 pm

Haz1558

Or custard! Total comfort food.

12:15 pm

crosshair

lol nb just read your profile and jean is just like his daddy.did you know jacques found a sealed greek amphora on one of his dives and it was full of wine.he was offered in excess of 3 million for it as i reacall.he said "no thank you,im going to drink it with my family".and he did!.he had it with a roast beef dinner and he said "it was not bad at all!!"

12:15 pm

KatieMcG

I had boiled egg and soldiers yesterday I do like to regress

12:15 pm

EvaNadine

clearly, NB -- he's got you. ;)

12:16 pm

Nancy Boy

LOL Crossy! Don't know much about them, but that quote always stuck in my mind ;)

12:16 pm

Haz1558

Or porridge. Bring out your inner Scot.

12:16 pm

Nancy Boy

12:16 pm

Nancy Boy

Awww Eva :') ...yeah ;)

12:16 pm

crosshair

lol,my mum used to make soldiers for my soft eggs as a child;))

12:16 pm

KatieMcG

I'm thinking crumble and custard is a really good idea

12:16 pm

Haz1558

Just as long as you don't make drawer porridge, that might involve too much effort.

12:16 pm

carleekat

soup and soldiers....

12:17 pm

Atalante

don't eat your cats!

12:17 pm

Judi

Best just to skip right to the desserts, Katie.

12:17 pm

Haz1558

12:18 pm

12:26 pm

crosshair

12:27 pm

Ormal

jmitch: I tried escargot shortly after the Lion King came out. You know I couldn't resist quoting the "slimy yet satisfying" comment, forcing tablemates to spit out their food laughing.

12:27 pm

EvaNadine

lol. well, they were all there! :P

12:27 pm

rubyfoo

just don't try to make them from scratch, i.e. alive, because they try to get out of the "purger"

12:28 pm

Judi

Snails? No. Tried them once. That was enough.

12:28 pm

rubyfoo

you can get them here, all prepared and ready to go into the broiler

12:28 pm

Ormal

They cook the snails while they are alive?

12:28 pm

jmitch

I don't think I've ever done snails.....Judi, never quit at once...you may have had bad batch or cook

12:28 pm

Judi

Did I miss a clue for the Am7 or are you all just ignoring my plea for help?

12:29 pm

rubyfoo

no, you have to purge them if you want to make them from scratch. I did it once and didn't eat snails again for several years

12:29 pm

rubyfoo

they're delish if you like butter and garlic!

12:29 pm

Ormal

I don't have it yet Judi. :(

12:29 pm

crosshair

purge =gutting them im assuming

12:30 pm

Nancy Boy

brb, telephone!

12:30 pm

rubyfoo

no, you have to control what they eat because they might have eaten poisonous plants.....

12:30 pm

guernseygirl

am7 is a sort of fungus. am+indef. article + notday

12:30 pm

guernseygirl

not day with a different vowel at the end

12:31 pm

12:32 pm

Judi

Ty, guernseygirl. Don't have it yet, though.

rubyfoo

12:33 pm

crosshair

guernseygirl

12:35 pm

crosshair

lol judi,it does not come in clean packages

12:35 pm

rubyfoo

12:35 pm

guernseygirl

12:35 pm

Barb's Horses

12:36 pm

flosey

12:37 pm

Barb's Horses

they were the treat we looked forward to when we use to go camping when I was young

12:37 pm

Boobear

12:37 pm

Barb's Horses

creamed corn makes them just a bit sweeter

12:37 pm

guernseygirl

SeaSpray

12:38 pm

crosshair

12:38 pm

rubyfoo

12:38 pm

12:39 pm

crosshair

12:39 pm

12:39 pm

Barb's Horses

12:39 pm

pythonx

i had mushy peas in London and loved them!

12:39 pm

crosshair

malt vinegar is essential in the house!

12:40 pm

guernseygirl

malt vinegar is usually brown and very cheap - but perfect with chips

12:40 pm

Judi

Gah! I just greyed out another box. 95 words left. Jeesh. This is like purging snails.

12:40 pm

Boobear

12:40 pm

rubyfoo

I've never had mushy peas.....

12:40 pm

rubyfoo

12:40 pm

SeaSpray

I agree Judi, this grid is rough

12:40 pm

guernseygirl

12:40 pm

Barb's Horses

12:40 pm

crosshair

12:43 pm

jmitch

12:43 pm

EvaNadine

12:44 pm

Soodlebum

LOL Guernsey! No! But if you were naughty, you got sent to 'The Office'. And they liberally used floor polish there.

12:44 pm

SeaSpray

I remember my janitors name from elementary school, is that weird or what?

12:44 pm

flosey

12:44 pm

I think we are all shaken by the revelations!

12:50 pm

Soodlebum

10:21 pm

toni Glanzer

hi anyone, could you please tell me how to find out the answers tomorrow ?

10:23 pm

Bugsaw

Hi toni. Tomorrow, log in and then click on the box called Archives at the top of the chat log. It will have the list of words.

10:24 pm

toni Glanzer

Thank you bugsaw, love your turtle......

10:24 pm

Bugsaw

how long have you been playing toni?

10:26 pm

toni Glanzer

I just started yesterday, and I think I like it. Very challenging tho. Had been playing Flip words.

10:27 pm

Bugsaw

this gets easier as your brain begins to get comfortable searching for words. Also, some words are just here a lot and you begin to memorize them. Like etui

10:30 pm

toni Glanzer

Etui ???? wow thats a new one. I so appreciate your encouragement and helping me out. Thanks again.

10:31 pm

Bugsaw

most night more people are on helping each other find words and if you need some more help you can click on the green words at the bottom. One is called Lickety's Babble Clues. He provides us with a list of all the words by the first two letters which really helps a lot.

10:33 pm

Bugsaw

they are all nice people who play this game.

10:35 pm

torgone

That's what you will find here toni .. Most people are genuinely friendly and helpful, fun and interesting ..

10:35 pm

toni Glanzer

I really get that feeling, that the people who play this are lovely and have fun with it. It is fascinating to read the notes to each other. What a new world !!!!!

10:36 pm

torgone

It's really kind of a unique community .. Some of us have been coming back for years ..

10:38 pm

torgone

We have a really wide variety of people from all over the world

10:39 pm

toni Glanzer

The journey of a thousand miles begins with the first step. The Babble journey has begun and I am excited.

10:41 pm

torgone

Welcome, new Babbler .. I predict it won't be too long before you are enticed to pony up the $15 for a lifetime Pro membership ..

10:41 pm

JBV

good evening to all and hi toni - saw your post about etui - one of my favorite words (see my profile)

10:42 pm

toni Glanzer

Guess what ? I already have. I signed up last night after my very first game. It just felt right.

10:42 pm

torgone

Heya jbv ..

10:43 pm

torgone

Cool .. Click on "My Account" and you can add a picture, flag, and profile if you want to ..

10:44 pm

JBV

hi tor

10:53 pm

gwenski

Hey eveyone. I'm up way too late. But, it's bugging me that I don't have any CR's after the 8. Any help available?

10:55 pm

torgone

Sorry ..

10:56 pm

gwenski

bummer

10:56 pm

JBV

cr 6 - low IQ

10:56 pm

toni Glanzer

What does CR's after the 8 mean ????

10:56 pm

JBV

cr 6/24 change last consonant

10:56 pm

torgone

I got nuthin .. Just dropped by to chat ..

10:57 pm

JBV

cr 5/12 the town cr*** gives the news reports

10:57 pm

JBV

cr 5/14 and punishment

10:57 pm

gwenski

Looking at Lickety's list of the first two letters, I was asking for clues for any of the words beginning with CR that come after the eight-letter word.

10:57 pm

gwenski

And thanks

10:58 pm

torgone

toni .. click the link for Lickety's clues .. lower left .. there is a list ..

10:58 pm

JBV

two more, gwen, do you want clues?

10:59 pm

torgone

Roger Ebert is a movie cr6/24

11:01 pm

gwenski

I really should be going to bed.....

11:01 pm

torgone

Yeah, me too ..

11:01 pm

toni Glanzer

Gwen, there is a medical word that starts with cr.....shall I tell you ?

11:02 pm

JBV

me too - see you tomorrow - good luck to all

11:02 pm

gwenski

I'm still missing the cr6/24 immediately after the 8, and also the 7

11:05 pm

gwenski

But, I must stop. 32 more to go, and I'm up too late. Thanks for the help.

11:06 pm

torgone

toni .. The convention here is to give hints, not give words ..People will ask for help, but they don't want to be just handed the word .. It is considered bad form to type words from the grid in the chat log

11:08 pm

torgone

See my hint for example .. I didn't spell out the word, but gave a hint that most people should understand and get the word on their own

11:11 pm

toni Glanzer

Torgone, ah I see, I will adapt to the culture and appreciate your help. I was just so excited to get a long word and a tricky one.......however I do understand.

11:18 pm

torgone

It's totally understandable to want to share .. You will find as you play and chat that it is kind of one our informal rules .. The "punishment" for typing a grid word in the chat log is to be sent to the penalty box or PB .. It happens when you have your cursor in the wrong spot, or it's a common word used in conversation, but if you see that, that's what it means .. Occasionally we get some trolls who start typing grid words in the chat log or are otherwise obnoxious or abusive, and those people are rather quickly reported to dr_god who built this site, and they can be banned permanently ..

11:20 pm

torgone

We are quite forgiving of honest mistakes though .. Evidenced by the fact that I am still here .. I make regular trips to the penalty box ..

11:24 pm

torgone

I frequently log on, say Hi in the chat, and forget to move my cursor and start entering words, and go RIGHT into the PB ..

11:24 pm

stidmama

(((tor))) hey all!!!!

11:25 pm

torgone

Plus a lot folks here pride themselves on the cleverness of their clues and try to be as cryptic as possible .. It's all part of the game ..

11:25 pm

Bugsaw

HI stid!!! hugs to you too

11:25 pm

torgone

(((stidders)))

11:26 pm

stidmama

hey bugs! I am deciding if I want to try for halfway or the whole thing... how hard is the grid today?

11:27 pm

Bugsaw

don't ask me. I have 47 left and started 1 1/2 hours ago. Spent most of the t4/5 looking not talking

11:28 pm

stidmama

go bugs go!!!

11:28 pm

Bugsaw

11:28 pm

11:34 pm

Pinikula

(that next summer is Summer 2011!)

11:35 pm

stidmama

yes pini! you can come here! with Koda! and we can hang out and paint each other's toenails PINK (or cobalt blue) and eat TONS of choclits and gossip about tor!

11:35 pm

Pinikula

tor could be our cabana boy!!!

11:35 pm

stidmama

oh. that's a long way away. BUT if we BOTH survive until then we could take a cruise together!

11:35 pm

Pinikula

sounds like a plan, stid!

11:36 pm

Pinikula

oh, wait...who's going to pay for the cruise?

11:36 pm

torgone

I would gladly be your cabana boy ..

11:36 pm

Pinikula

* giggle *

11:36 pm

stidmama

um.... tor can pay for the cruise, because his wonderful plan to sell fog to Londoners will have paid off by then! *bright mama look*

11:36 pm

Pinikula

* brilliant! *

11:36 pm

torgone

I am planning some vacay time at the end of next month ..

11:37 pm

Pinikula

I'm taking off a minimum of 2 days each month until Xmas break where I'll be taking 2 full weeks (hopefully)

11:37 pm

stidmama

lucky you, tor! going away? or sequestering yourself in the hottub with babble?

11:37 pm

stidmama

11:38 pm

Pinikula

11:38 pm

stidmama

11:41 pm

Pinikula

hi greedy...

11:41 pm

torgone

I've driven that route .. It's murder ..

11:41 pm

Pinikula

not sure, but it'd have to be in Enable to be useable...

11:42 pm

Pinikula

but there are so many cool faces along the way, tor! hopefully, we'd not be too brutal!

11:42 pm

GreedyJoseph

Only joking. :)

11:42 pm

stidmama

hey greedy. not all real words count and not all fake words don't... welcome to our world!

11:42 pm

11:43 pm

Pinikula

Well, welcome aboard...you're in for a great ride!!!!

11:43 pm

We're all pretty friendly so jump right in!

11:44 pm

11:44 pm

stidmama

11:44 pm

11:46 pm

TBdood777

It's only 9:45 here.

11:46 pm

Pinikula

(OK..."real" trip anyway)

11:46 pm

stidmama

good for you tor. I hope you will actually take time to RELAX on the vacation, and not just feel you have to fill it with activities (that is what I did on my spring "break" and ended up not resting before the new quarter at all...)

11:46 pm

Pinikula

same here, TB...where are you?

11:47 pm

TBdood777

Washington

11:47 pm

stidmama

what makes "real" -- Tom and I took a trip to see Granny in 2003, and then Mother and I took the boys later the same year.

11:47 pm

Pinikula

Cool! I used to live up there...many babblers up in that area!

11:47 pm

stidmama

same here... state and time, TB

11:47 pm

TBdood777

Where are you now?

11:47 pm

Pinikula

<-- Oregon

11:48 pm

TBdood777

Yeah, i like Washington, very pretty.

11:48 pm

TBdood777

But the weather sucks, on the western part.

11:48 pm

TBdood777

Which is where i live.

11:48 pm

torgone

That's the idea, stid .. a couple activities planned .. then just do whatever or not do for a few days ..

11:48 pm

stidmama

help on the i on the bottom row so I can finish with NBT please?

11:48 pm

Pinikula

Stid...my "real" vaca in 1996 was 21 days traveling through Europe... haven't had a vaca like that since; little 1-2 days every now and then since...

11:48 pm

Pinikula

<-- don't have it

11:48 pm

stidmama

good for you tor *approving mama look* you deserve a quiet, pleasant time

11:49 pm

Pinikula

It's the same one I need for NBT!

11:49 pm

stidmama

oops. *heads to PB*

11:49 pm

Pinikula

I know what you mean, TB...used to live in the Seattle area...

11:49 pm

Pinikula

Gotta love the PNW...our informal motto is: We don't tan, we rust!!!

11:49 pm

TBdood777

Yeah, the weather here is bipolar.

11:49 pm

Pinikula

to say the least!

11:50 pm

TBdood777

Hahaha perfect motto.

11:50 pm

stidmama

I don't rust, I MOLD.... *sprinkles mildew on choclits*

11:50 pm

Pinikula

* giggle *

11:50 pm

TBdood777

hahahah

11:50 pm

stidmama

11:50 pm

torgone

Rust never sleeps ..

11:50 pm

Pinikula

Greedy, did you finish the grid?

11:50 pm

TBdood777

What am i supposed to do exactly?

11:50 pm

Pinikula

<-- concentrating on that elusive I

11:51 pm

Pinikula

make words, TB...

11:51 pm

GreedyJoseph

Not even close.

11:51 pm

TBdood777

Can you be more specific?

11:51 pm

Pinikula

you've got about 9 minutes before the new grid appears...plenty of ti4 to read the HELP above the chat log to get you started!

11:51 pm

Pinikula

Beware: Babble is addictive!

11:51 pm

stidmama

find words in the yellow tiles and type the words in the "add word" box under the tiles

11:51 pm

TBdood777

oh... duh.

11:51 pm

stidmama

it's a lot like boggle

11:51 pm

Pinikula

me either, Greedy!

11:52 pm

Pinikula

<-- love playing Boggle!

11:52 pm

stidmama

if you wait just 8 more minutes, a new grid will start and then you will have 24 hours to find all the words

11:52 pm
