jillibus

very funny, ruru
1:18 am
dcseain

yep, they's alaying - look at the shoulders
1:18 am
Ormal

it's much easier if the cow is used to it and doesn't try to kick you every time you touch her dc
1:18 am
dcseain

indeed, ormal. happily, they were used to it
1:19 am
rururocks

yes and you have to teat her nicely
1:19 am

of course ormal, you did get the ca8 by changing the last vowEl

I was pretty good at milking on my first try.. it is a weird experience though
1:23 am

1:23 am

Ideal dog toys then... glad you could stop it though.

2:13 am
jillibus

I loved your ocean :)
2:14 am
Ormal

Me too, it was a young one, obviously unsure what to do when dogs attack. It tried standing still and faked biting.
2:14 am
sprite

I saw it! Lovely icon of groundhogs she had. I like yours too... did you see the lying cows are 'explained' in my profile text as well?
2:15 am

Oh gosh, I hadn't scrolled that far -- must enjoy it all now -- brb!

I love the cows lying down btw. The kids and I always talked about that particular rain indicator. I never thought it would be to have a dry place to lay though. :D
2:22 am
jillibus

No, but it makes sense!
2:23 am
Ormal

It does!
2:29 am

Darn, I'm too tired for this -- haven't even got nbt. Still need the J and the lower Y.

if you google images, sandy, and click until you get the picture only: either copy the link into the 'fetch icon' part of the babble profile or rightclick and save the image on your hard disk, then browse to your saved copy and hit 'upload icon'.

O ruby not good
3:53 am
rubyfoo

marinated, boned leg of lamb (halaal) cooked on a spit, flageolets, boiled potatoes, gravy, yoghurt sauce, and a plum tart for desert (made from last year's frozen plums that I carefully crealned and froze) -- no idea if that will work or not
3:53 am
rubyfoo

cleaned*** duh
3:53 am
herinfernallady

I would come to your house Ruby
3:53 am
rubyfoo

I've eliminated the appetizer since it's just the 3 of us
3:54 am

there is certainly enough food herin and you would definitely be welcome! Even for leftovers!
3:54 am
anike

Sounds good ruby
3:54 am

4:03 am

yes, surprisingly easy when I do enough in advance. It's the cleanup that is hard!
4:03 am
rubyfoo

I think I'd like to rug (and hug) the horses!
4:04 am
rubyfoo

I would also like to curry them, but would have to stand on a ladder as I am short
4:06 am
herinfernallady

AL 9 clue please
4:07 am

al + al* baba * not women + cons, then past tense
4:07 am

4:17 am

I could find that ca although anike said it was a fossil -- too hard for me!
4:17 am
rubyfoo

couldn't*
4:17 am
rubyfoo

4:18 am
gortmold

ahhh, yes, we do have sorghum mi5s. I have a mate who did his phD in developing plants with natural resistance - very smart
4:18 am
rubyfoo

good work, that!
4:19 am
gortmold

i thought so too, ruby, as it was going to really help 3rd world countries grow pest-resistant crops...
4:20 am
rubyfoo

the French are so stupid, they won't allow GM seeds but, naturally, killed off everything with their over-use of pesticides!
4:20 am
gortmold

but he got so jaded with it all and the fact that all this fussy detailed work would end up lost in academia...
4:20 am
gortmold

that he borrowed my husband's cannon (yes, we own a working cannon) and blew up his thesis papers with it
4:20 am
herinfernallady

Ca8 clue as I seemed to have fallen asleep

ca*****y (replace y with e) Jane - the accident-prone cowgirl of some old western movie
4:21 am
rubyfoo

ca****** but change the last letter
4:22 am
rubyfoo

did they show the series Deadwood in Australia? It's my all-time favorite TV show and they only showed 2 out of 3 seasons in France
4:22 am
rubyfoo

Jane was in it
4:22 am
gortmold

don't think so ruby
4:22 am
herinfernallady

Actually Gort Not true
4:23 am
gortmold

what's not true?
4:23 am
herinfernallady

. A popular belief is that she instead acquired it as a result of her warnings to men that to offend her was to "court calamity". She didn't take menfolk crap and to pee her off usually resulted being on the recieving end of a gun
4:24 am
gortmold

ahh, i sit corrected, i know squat about her, other than her name and just assumed
4:24 am
rubyfoo

I could take lessons!!
4:24 am
rubyfoo

I tend to take crap until I don't.....
4:25 am
herinfernallady

Well actually I take that back that indeed that was another theory but I prefer the idea of her being a hard ass
4:25 am
lynxxx

Deadwood was on cable here. Good series
4:25 am
rubyfoo

me too! and on Deadwood, althoughshe loved Wil Bill, she was very much
4:25 am
rubyfoo

all 3 seasons, Lynxx??
4:26 am
rubyfoo

very butch*
4:26 am
lynxxx

Think so Ruby
4:26 am
herinfernallady

She is one of my very fav Wild West Character.
4:26 am
herinfernallady

Lynxx have all three seasons here
4:27 am
rubyfoo

you are so lucky! My son said that the 3rd season was wonderful, too
4:27 am
gortmold

is it a western?
4:27 am
rubyfoo

the role was played by Robin Weigert {sp?]
4:28 am
rubyfoo

yes, but not sanitized and very interesting. I don't normally like westerns
4:28 am
herinfernallady

There was meant to be 4 but the cash flow stopped
4:29 am
rubyfoo

people wore the same clothes episode in and out and got dirty, torn up, muddy, sick
4:29 am
lynxxx

Down and dirty Western Gort. Not santized at all, you have never heard such language
4:30 am
rubyfoo

what's interesting was that there was a Wild Bill Hickok movie starring, I think, Jeff Bridges and the blonde who played opposite Al Pacino in Sea of Love
4:30 am
rubyfoo

or seen such graphic scenes of medical and sexual procedures!
4:30 am
jean1953

Good morning Lynxxx:)
4:30 am
rubyfoo

hello Jean
4:30 am
lynxxx

Ellen Barkin! I love Ellen Barkin
4:30 am
gortmold

can it be worse than what Sean Micallef gets away with on TAYG on Sun nights when he calmly (and hilariously) addresses his tv audience as mo-fos and gets away with it?
4:31 am
lynxxx

hi Jean!
4:31 am
rubyfoo

you are kidding. The French idea of funny is to put a hairy guy with a moustache into a dress!
4:31 am
lynxxx

oh yes Gort
4:32 am
gortmold

lol ruby
4:32 am
gortmold

although moustaches are inherently funny
4:33 am
gortmold

so what's the appeal of deadwood?
4:33 am
rubyfoo

that's true but that kind of vulgarity is worse, to me, than the stuff on Deadwood or your comedian mo-fo ing the audience! Must go make aparitifs for husband and guest than will be back....
4:34 am
rubyfoo

great sotry, interesting characters, beautiful written and acted. Ian Mcshane is the star
4:34 am
rubyfoo

aperitifs* my typing is from sh**

i'll keep a blind eye out for it then and turn a deaf ear :)
4:35 am
rubyfoo

it looked real
4:35 am
gortmold

what looked real? the sh**?
4:35 am
rubyfoo

no, you'lllove it, once you get past the language and their throwing bodies to the Chinaman's pigs, clthes and all!
4:35 am
rubyfoo

clothes*
4:36 am
gortmold

it sounds awesome ruby, once you've got a chinese oinker, you're onto a winnner :)
4:36 am
rubyfoo

and I think there was a lot of truth to the way the old settlements worked - with Chinese and opium dens and prostiutes, confidence men, gambling, etc
4:37 am
gortmold

so its like a docudrama?
4:37 am
rubyfoo

I am so sick of westerns where all the shirts are clean and pressed and the unpaced streets are barely dusty!
4:38 am
rubyfoo

no, just a VERY realistic drama
4:38 am

I'm fine brookie, just waiting for summer to start.
5:05 am
Sally-catlover

Babble is a good refuge from the election fall-out.
5:05 am
rubyfoo

you think we'll have summer? it is so cold here!
5:05 am
rubyfoo

feels like March, not May
5:05 am
Brookie

What's the weather been like on your side of the pond?
5:06 am
Sally-catlover

At least we've had rain, everything is lovely and green.
5:06 am
Brookie

Feels like late June here, not May.
5:06 am
Sally-catlover

There's such a cold wind brookie. Makes it not very enticing to be out.
5:06 am
Brookie

Rain is good.
5:06 am
Brookie

Wind is bad.
5:06 am
rubyfoo

our friend is here from Florida and said it's really hot there after an extremely cold winter
5:07 am
Sally-catlover

Has he visited you in France before, and does he like it>
5:07 am
Brookie

Didn't you also have an extremely cold winter where you are? I remember hearing something about that...
5:08 am
rubyfoo

yes, he's been here 2 or 3 times before,; he's our old sailing buddy and built my husband's sailboat
5:08 am
Sally-catlover

Yes, very cold for UK, long periods of snow and ice when we (here in small village) just couldn't get out. Had to rig up night lights under the drinkers for the hens to keep the water from freezing :-)
5:09 am
Brookie

The global warming has really done a number on our local weather conditions.
5:09 am
rubyfoo

it's all topsy-turvy
5:13 am
rubyfoo

I had better join them;as it is rude to sit down here talking with my friends and ignoring our guest (ane husband)! see you all later!
5:13 am
rubyfoo

87 words so far!
5:13 am
Sally-catlover

bye for now ruby.
5:13 am
rubyfoo

I'll troll the chog later, hoping for clues..... (hugs)
5:13 am

5:46 am
rubyfoo

everything is cooking and I can't bear the conversation!
5:46 am
Sally-catlover

Why, is it all about boats?
5:49 am
rubyfoo

yes, and the stock market and Obama and the sate of the world.... it's unbearable as I've heard it all before. It's like the joke: A couple has been married for 60 years and a reporter in interviewing them, ask, "To what do you attribute the longevity of your marriage". The man say that it's because he makes all the big decisions and his wife, the small ones. "Such as?" I decided whether or not we'll go to war, how we can deal with the energy crisis, what we can do about global warming, and she decides where we'll live, where the kids will go to school, what kind of car we'll drive. etc."
5:49 am
Sally-catlover

lol ruby!
5:49 am
rubyfoo

Sorry, that was too long for the chog
5:50 am
Sally-catlover

5:50 am

And the sun is shining, even though it's still cold
5:52 am
Yvo

ruby, in one ear and out of the other,just think soon your son will come and you will enjoy it alot
5:53 am
rubyfoo

I hope so, yvo, but he, too, is a pedant just like his father and my current husband!
5:53 am
rubyfoo

when the smart guys start expounding, I just disappear!
5:54 am
rubyfoo

he and I only have fun (my son, that is) when we are alone together, usually when I go to \Austin and we go out for sushi and to the movies!
5:54 am
Yvo

seems you just cant win ,keep your sense of humor ,that will keep you afloat till your mini trip
5:54 am
Sally-catlover

Does he get on with your husband?
5:54 am
rubyfoo

yes, and, hopefully, sally and I can squeeze in a visit!!!
5:55 am
rubyfoo

yes, even though they sort of talk past each other....
5:55 am
rubyfoo

but Burt hates my DIL!
5:55 am
rubyfoo

the good news is that, like a marmot, she sleeps most of the time
5:56 am
Sally-catlover

Hopefully, ruby.
5:56 am
rubyfoo

I still don't know if my sister, the drama queen, is coming or if her son is meeting me for lunch....
5:57 am
rubyfoo

he doesn't speak to her at all and should be in those "mumblecore" movies
5:57 am
Sally-catlover

Well, I'll try to fit in with your plans. If it doesn't work out, there will be another time.
5:58 am
rubyfoo

yes, there certainly will be, especially when (if) things settle down here with B's health, especially
5:59 am
Yvo

ruby you live in such beauty,ive been there mostly in Digne,itsjust awesome to get out of bed and enjoy beeing alive make the best and sit outside,and don listen to utter nonsense
6:00 am

you are so right, Yvo! Every day I'm alive in this place feels like a blessing!
6:00 am
Sally-catlover

ruby, did you look at the link I gave you the other day about public transport in London?
6:00 am

OK, lazy moi, back to the kitchen!

ruby - change the final consonant in that word

I don't use it gg because I have a Mac but it puts lickety and the grid on one page, and you can enter words into lickety and then transfer them into the grid

7:55 am
phaeton

i hope so...big fat flakes coming down...might accumulate :(
7:55 am

just because I do this game in storms does that make me an addict???
7:55 am
guernseygirl

7:55 am
jeanniegee

You should be here in the s. USA...very warm and muggy...and oily, too...

7:57 am

I put my tomatoes in too early, but aside from that, it is beautiful here
7:57 am
guernseygirl

Katrina, then oil - you have been having a bad time
7:57 am
rubyfoo

7:57 am
rubyfoo

our friend from Florida is visiting; he grows clams in the Gulf
7:58 am
Anniebrook

ruby, glad you finally found your friend
7:58 am
rubyfoo

keeping his fingers crossed
7:58 am
hydra

Oooh ruby, you said a Word!!! Hi all.
7:58 am
rubyfoo

it only took two days
7:58 am
jeanniegee

I feel very bad for all the fishermen of the Gulf
7:58 am
rubyfoo

and it was my fault for mis-reading his schedule
7:58 am
rubyfoo

uh oh, is there a place to lie down in the pb?
7:58 am
hootowl

Not good for them or us! Prices will skyrocket
7:59 am
Anniebrook

*opens the futon for ruby*
7:59 am
rubyfoo

ty annie
7:59 am
hydra

I'm sure there's a nice soft couch in there. With coffee, cookies, anything you want. Here's a bar of choc, too!
8:00 am
guernseygirl

are you allowed to bring some chocolate with you when you come out ruby?
8:00 am
jeanniegee

Skyrocket? Will there be any fishfood at all?
8:00 am
rubyfoo

ty hydra, sounds better than home! and no husbands.....
8:00 am
hydra

Sheer bliss then.
8:00 am
rubyfoo

I'd be reluctant to eat anything from the Gulf for a long time
8:00 am
rubyfoo

hopefully, they can protect the bayous
8:01 am
hydra

I've never eaten a cl4/6 except tinned ones in a pasta sauce.
8:01 am
hootowl

There will be fish just not from gulf.
8:01 am
rubyfoo

if they replaced those 20,000 wells with 20,000 windmills, wouldn't things be better? And make the oil companies pay
8:01 am
hootowl

oh lordy! Much, much better with fresh ones!
8:02 am
rubyfoo

what about winkles, hydra?
8:02 am
hydra

LOL. Cockles, too! I've eaten them years ago at the seaside.
8:02 am
jeanniegee

Windmills...hmmm...I wonder if anyone thought of that before...like the Dutch?
8:02 am
hootowl

aren't winkles tiny?
8:02 am
rubyfoo

I think the taste isn't so different, you just need more of them
8:02 am
hydra

Wish my wrinkles were!
8:03 am
rubyfoo

my wrinkles just inked at your winkles!
8:03 am
rubyfoo

winked, that is* duh
8:03 am
guernseygirl

all i know about winkles is you eat them with a pin
8:03 am
hydra

ha ha!
8:03 am
Ouwachita

mide
8:04 am
hootowl

There are a lot of them in the Rockies but they have to be local I think. Most people object to them taking apart a mountain to put them up. Coast should be easier
8:04 am
Anniebrook

put a vowel in front of that, Ouw
8:04 am
hydra

Or a balsa wood prong thingy. Like eating snails.
8:04 am
hootowl

that's small
8:04 am
rubyfoo

or bigorneaux [sp??]
8:04 am

ty annie
8:04 am
hydra

What are those, ruby?
8:05 am
Anniebrook

phone
8:05 am
hydra

Just looked them up. French sea snails.
8:05 am
hootowl

I almost understand that...
8:05 am
rubyfoo

some kind of a land snail - tasty, but a little bit disgusting after a while....
8:06 am
rubyfoo

I thought they were from the land, fat lot I know, just eat anything that holds still long enough
8:06 am
hootowl

dam he moved the dictionary!
8:06 am
hootowl

brb
8:06 am
hydra

Ooh! Just found a ta8,45 much to my surprise. And ruby, I was going by the photo on Google which showed a Frenchman standing by the sea with his hands full of them.
8:07 am
rubyfoo

I once tried making snails from scratch -- big mistake! You have to purge them for a couple of days and they kept getting loose. I didn't eat snails for several years after
8:07 am
hydra

Maybe the pic was misleading and his snail farm was on the coast.
8:07 am
rubyfoo

no no, I'm sure you're right, I just never asked
8:07 am
hydra

Halfway through. Off to do some work now. Byeeeeee *poof*
8:08 am
rubyfoo

see you all later *poof* too
8:08 am

8:31 am
hootowl

Hi Une - finally got to 60 here. Now no excuse not to get rest of bushes cut and out!

8:31 am
guernseygirl

8:31 am

Uneaixoise

morning, hoot :-)
8:31 am
guernseygirl

i would guess that racoons aren't welcome as house guests
8:32 am
kje

I tried tolive peacably with him, but he insists in inviting friends and having wild parties... so he must go
8:32 am
Anniebrook

LOL
8:32 am
hootowl

tend to be clumsey and messy...like some relatives
8:32 am
guernseygirl

what sort of music does he play
8:32 am
Uneaixoise

that's why a friend of mine stopped using her cat door -- raccoon guests in the night! LOL
8:32 am
kje

some kind of chirping thing... I think it is the racoon versian of gregorian chants
8:33 am
guernseygirl

lol
8:33 am
hootowl

booorrrring
8:33 am
kje

I have learned from him though... who knew that racoons chirp? this is not an animal noise they taught us in kindergarten
8:35 am
hootowl

I believe that means it's female. Males are nasty
8:35 am
beachboggle

Hiya babblers!
8:35 am
kje

they are all nasty... their cuteness hides a mean streak
8:35 am
guernseygirl

maybe it's got lots of babies up there.
8:35 am
guernseygirl

hi, beach
8:35 am
kje

and they walk likel elephants... galump, galump, galump
8:36 am
kje

no, they really do making a chirping noise... the adults... you can play recordings on the web, and that is what they sound like
8:36 am
guernseygirl

what do they eat?
8:37 am
kje

everything
8:37 am
guernseygirl

so their only redeeming feature is that they're pretty
8:37 am
Uneaixoise

i have insane friends who feed their neighborhood raccoons dry dog food . . . and the raccoons wash it like all their food . . . jeez
8:38 am
kje

and there are a lot of them in the woods behind the house... heard them going at each other one night several weeks ago, and looked out into the bacyyard, and there were 4-5 in the trees chasing each other... and doing other things
8:38 am
Boobear

where is there a list
8:38 am
kje

hahahah une... cute
8:38 am
guernseygirl

gremlinn, boo
8:38 am
kje

GG - I do not find them so pretty anymore... like a guy you think is cute until you getto know him, they have ruined our relationship
8:40 am
guernseygirl

8:41 am
hootowl

8:41 am
hootowl

8:41 am
kje

LOL - OK
8:41 am
godthaab

There is an interesting philosophy out there concerning Man vs. Nature. Nature, to man is nice as long as it does not intrude on Man's territory. Many people like wolf howling, 'cause it's cool, but as soon as wolves enter man's territory and start maiming and killing, they suddenly become the enemy. Remember, they were here first.
8:41 am
guernseygirl

good for you Hootowl
8:42 am
Uneaixoise

me too, hoot! :-)
8:42 am

8:43 am
Uneaixoise

if there's no longer a natural habitat . . .
8:43 am
guernseygirl

that's right, of course, godthaab, but it's easy to forget when things like fleas, rats and racoons impinge on us
8:43 am
Uneaixoise

must run -- BBL *poof*
8:43 am
hootowl

you have coyotes? Or are you talking about the politicians? We've got those.
8:44 am

bye Une
8:45 am
hootowl

Realy doesn't make any diff. Coons are opportunistic. If it's easier to steal dogfood why hunt?
8:45 am
hootowl

garbage pails, gardens, bird feeders...
8:46 am
kje

well, they are smart enough to know that my attic is warmer than the creek behind the house... they just see this as the warmest den they were lucky to find.... but the fact is that they carry diseases, as do their fleas, so they will have to build their own house
8:47 am
hootowl

no argument - animal control

Not really, Nan. The vet said that there was no hope, and to leave him as he was would have been cruel. So, the decision wasn't hard - the saying good-bye was just terrible.

I use Microsoft Excel to do the lists when Lickety isn't available. Put the list in one column, leave one blank and then the 3rd column I just type words as I find them. When I get all the words I can think of I use the alpahbetical sort feature then work on fitting them into the 2nd colum where they belong next to the list. When I get a group done I highlight it.

The da4/5 is May 8, 2010. It is now ti4/5 for a story of clues. I de 4/6 it necessary to do a story of clues since there is no list.So if anyone ne5/12 clues, here they are. I was not too ta8/45 doing the grid today. I ai5/14 to finish puzzle with the ai 4/5 of my babble friends, but it just isn't going to happen. I only made a small de4/5 in the grid.I think that I suffer from an ai7/32 called "nobrainitis".I desperately ne4/5ed my monkeys help.But those monkeys tried to do5/18 my presence because they didn't want to help me. I had a me 4/5 down and started screaming at them. They li 4/5 & said that they couldn't find any words. Then they cl4/6 up because they had nothing to say.Then they high ta4/4ed it out of here.I wouldn't even pay a di4/5 to get monkeys back. I usally do 4/5 on them with bananas, but not today. They didn't give one io 4/4 about not getting bananas. Now I have ca 6/27 down.I don't give a do4/5 if I don't finish. It matters to me not one di 4/5! I believe I will remain ca4/6 by spending the rest of the night w/my ca6/24 cat and watching The Cl6/21.Wish that I could stay up la4/4 until the flip, but I am just too tired. ci 4/5 babblers!

9:51 pm

For instance I put in RENT last night and it is not there today. I know I put the word in there I remember doing it but this morning I had to put RENT in there again (Rent is just the replacement for the word that went missing)
9:53 pm
wht

Sometimes I find that I haven't typed the words I thought I did.
9:53 pm
gremlinn

I'm not sure that's happened, but I've had it not do the counts right, so I actually had found all the words but didn't get fireworks displayed until I refreshed the page.
9:54 pm
wht

Every once in a while my typos turn into real words.
9:54 pm
herinfernallady

I am fairly sure I did put the word in I know that I am crazy but not that crazy
9:54 pm
gremlinn

herin: probably a similar glitch to what happened to me
9:55 pm
herinfernallady

Or as Wht said maybe I didn't
9:55 pm
hootowl

I just finished by putting in = again = my final word. It happened at least a dozen times today and happens every grid. And I am very aware of it so I make sure I spell it right. I look for the green. I think we are short on space.
