1:50 am

sandyloo

1:50 am

rubyfoo

OK on stairs, though, but still leaves me breathless. Maybe it has to do with the fractured sternum from 2 yrs ago.....

1:50 am

dizgrannie

same as the GI 7

1:50 am

jillibus

well, maybe getting those tomatoes will get you some muscles too.

1:50 am

sandyloo

how did you do that!?

1:51 am

sandyloo

gi 7 - I will keep that in mind

1:51 am

rubyfoo

Marmar

Hi all! Ruby, I had a bout with (what the doctor called) Fibromyalgia over the last two years. Every movement hurt and it got to the point when I just saw a flight of stairs I had to climb, I would cry. My muscles tone was gone. I read alot about MBT shoes, got some and they have helped tremendously! My legs have never looked so good and I was always involved in athletics my entire life. My Fibro symptoms are 90% gone now, don't know what to credit, but for muscle toneing, the MBT's are GREAT!

2:03 am

gremlinn

I think we need more trains.

2:03 am

rubyfoo

that are MBT shoes? I have a dear friend in the South with FM and she is in absolute misery!

2:04 am

gremlinn

Especially trains of thought, because a lot of people lose theirs.

what are MBT shoes marm, my mother suffers from sore feet and its something to do with her nerves in the feet

2:04 am

rubyfoo

I don't have leg pain, just breathlessness and fatigue

2:04 am

rubyfoo

sandy, that sounds like the same problem

2:04 am

flosey

ah grem, like the train travel was back a few (or several) years - with really great dining cars

2:05 am

rubyfoo

my train of though has de-railed!

2:05 am

flosey

good one ruby

2:05 am

sandyloo

I am going to google those shoes

2:05 am

rubyfoo

I love travelling by train. Paris is less than 4 hrs away by train, more than 5 by car (not that I ever go)

2:05 am

Marmar

Well, if you google them, there are hundreds of testimonials about dramatic improvement of many ailments and pains: leg, foot, back, neck. They have a comprehensive website as well. They are pretty pricey, but they are the only shoes I wear just about.

2:05 am

sandyloo

I love trains also Ruby

2:06 am

rubyfoo

what does MBT stand for?

2:06 am

Marmar

Masai Barefoot Technology. They are a Swiss company.

2:06 am

Marmar

I am saving up for a pair of sandals (200€!)

2:07 am

rubyfoo

thank you, marmar, I will tell my friend and look into them for me

2:07 am

rubyfoo

Does Australia, with its vast distances, have good train service?

2:07 am

sandyloo

i have to go , will be back later

2:08 am

rubyfoo

2:08 am

sandyloo

Ruby, I have been on the Indian Pacific which goes right across australia

2:08 am

Marmar

Also, don't buy them from online discounters, there are fakes being sold under the same name which are NOT the same and can actually do harm to the body. Also, Sketchers and Reebok have a copycat version, don't know about thier quality.

2:08 am

sandyloo

It was fabulous with sit down meals and sleepers etc

2:08 am

rubyfoo

you may just have done a great service to many of us!!

2:09 am

sandyloo

so marm, where do we get them , do you have a bonifide web site we can go to

2:11 am

sandyloo

I really have to go so I will check the chog later

2:13 am

Marmar

Oh I hope so. I love mine and the results I have gotten. There are "authorized sellers" listed on their website. I'm looking for the webaddress...

2:14 am

Marmar

It keeps sending me automatically to the German site but I think the main site is www.mbt.com

2:15 am

jillibus

I'm off to bed -- goodnight/morning all!

2:15 am

Marmar

'nite Jilli!

2:15 am

rubyfoo

sweet dreams, jilli!

2:16 am

flosey

goodnight jilli, I'm right behind you, took a tyl.3 so better get to bed

2:16 am

rubyfoo

or you might type words in the wrong place like you-know-who! hahah

2:17 am

flosey

if I'm lucky enough to see them ruby!

2:20 am

rubyfoo

2:20 am

flosey

ah thanks {{ruby}}

2:21 am

Marmar

Duty calls. Bye everyone, have a great day or evening!

2:22 am

flosey

really must go, starting to take hold, poof

2:22 am

rubyfoo

thank you for yur suggestion, marmar, and have a good day!

2:23 am

rubyfoo

3 more for half, then I can get dressed!

2:27 am

rubyfoo

yay, half!!! see you later

2:39 am

joshuavorbis

hi and nbt

3:05 am

Douglas

Does it bode well if my first word is a tile-graying Babblet?

3:06 am

J. C.

Probably, Douglas.

3:07 am

Sally-catlover

Good morning Douglas. Probably, but only just started, so now wondering if I have this particularly tile-greying babblet.

3:08 am

Christine

J.C. - ling time no see.

3:08 am

Christine

or loooong time.

3:10 am

Haz1558

Good morning/afternoon all. Douglas is going to keep us in the dark about the tile-greyer. My money is on rh5.

3:10 am

Douglas

In the northwest corner

3:11 am

Sally-catlover

The N? Have that, but didn't think of it particularly as a babblet. My money was on the Y.

3:11 am

Haz1558

I don't think it's a babblet either. Not boding well, Douglas.

3:11 am

Haz1558

(How much did you bet, Sally?)

3:11 am

joshuavorbis

the y and the rh5 are babblets

3:12 am

joshuavorbis

well, i suppose not very well-known ones

3:13 am

Sally-catlover

Not a lot Haz :-)

3:13 am

Haz1558

Good, I'd hate for us to be impoverished over the head of Douglas.

3:13 am

Sally-catlover

I know have all the single word tiles except the C in the right column, so I assumed it was one of those.

3:13 am

lynxxx

Hello everyone

3:14 am

Haz1558

Hello, lynxxx.

3:14 am

Sally-catlover

Hi lynxxx

3:15 am

Douglas

That n isn't a Babblet?!?

3:15 am

Haz1558

No, I don't think it's ever been called a babblet.

3:15 am

lynxxx

no it's just a boring accounting thing

3:16 am

Sally-catlover

Perhaps it's a British thing, Douglas, but that's a word I would use in Real Life as opposed to Babble. (not that Babble isn't real)

3:16 am

Douglas

Hmm...maybe I should start over...

3:16 am

Sally-catlover

Whereas I can't say I've ever used the Y word, nor drunk out of the RH

3:21 am

Haz1558

I think it shows remarkable resilience on our part that we're back at babble after yesterday's horror.

3:21 am

Sally-catlover

Yes, it was horrendous wasn't it.

3:22 am

lynxxx

It was a doozie wasn't it...I finished and made sure I renewed my subscription to Morewords

3:22 am

Haz1558

It was. At one point I thought I was having hallucinations or a bad dream or something.

3:23 am

Haz1558

There would have been no prospect of me completing it without extensive use of resources. And you can guess which resources!

3:23 am

jmcnrick

hi all

3:23 am

lynxxx

hi jmc!

3:23 am

Christine

Do you think Morewords hires someone to make-up those words? It got to the point I stpped looking for the definitions.

3:24 am

Haz1558

I wondered if much cluing happened later on in the day, when I was on, people seemed to be too shellshocked to be asking for much. Definitely a mental health warning grid.

3:24 am

Sally-catlover

Same here Haz. I did finish, but didn't get that nice glow of satisfaction at having done all or most of it without resources!

3:24 am

Haz1558

Hello, jmc.

3:24 am

Sally-catlover

And hi jmc.

3:25 am

Haz1558

Never mind a glow of satisfaction, your sanity was intact.

3:25 am

Sally-catlover

Only just. I really didn't enjoy yesterday's.

3:25 am

jmcnrick

i was happy that i got 1/3 of yesterday's grid and stayed out of the pb

3:26 am

Haz1558

No, I finished out of a sense of pigheadedness.

3:26 am

Sally-catlover

Yees, what my husband calls obstinate and I call determined.

3:27 am

jmcnrick

i call it disciplined!

3:27 am

Sally-catlover

That's a good alternative, jmc!

3:28 am

Karys

hello everyone... I didn't finish, I sat here at 11.30 pm with Morewords and thought... WHAT am I doing, this is supposed to be fun !

3:28 am

jmcnrick

i am feeling especially undisciplined these days

3:28 am

lynxxx

hi Karys

3:28 am

jmcnrick

hi karys

3:28 am

jmcnrick

i agree that is why i never look at my score

3:29 am

Haz1558

Hello, Karys! Nice to see you.

3:29 am

Karys

But then, I don't seem to have time to finish so often these days.

3:29 am

Sally-catlover

I used to do that Karys, but now I just walk away if it's late. It is only a game, I tell myself. But I did finish yesterday's at intervals during the day. Was out in the evening so wanted to finish before then.

3:29 am

jmcnrick

and in to the pb for me after staying out all yesterday

3:29 am

Karys

Hi Haz, you too, although I see you most days !

3:29 am

jmcnrick

come join me karys *links arms*

3:30 am

Haz1558

Ah, you've become a silent observer, Karys?

3:30 am

jmcnrick

any coffee?

3:30 am

Sally-catlover

I'll make you fresh jmc.

3:31 am

jmcnrick

i am already fresh!

3:31 am

Haz1558

There's no doubt that joining in chat does slow down the finding of words - not that it seems to bother the speed merchants!

3:31 am

Sally-catlover

And enough for Karys too I see.

3:31 am

Karys

I have, I am in and out so much I hvan't time to keep saying 'hello' and 'goodbye', and it seems so rude not too !!

3:31 am

Karys

Please, may I have tea ?

3:32 am

jmcnrick

i have even been known to lurk although i think some would be surprised to hear that

3:32 am

Sally-catlover

Sure, will put a tray there.

3:32 am

Sally-catlover

I usually try to get the first half or first easy part without chatting.

3:32 am

Haz1558

I think most people have time when they don't join in the conversation.

3:32 am

Karys

It is different now that Husband has retired.

3:33 am

Haz1558

Does he keep whirling you away on days out?

3:33 am

Haz1558

Or does he have you chained to the kitchen sink?

3:33 am

jmcnrick

lol with that rule sally i would chat right away most time

3:34 am

jmcnrick

ha! pb for the nearly perfect haz!

3:34 am

Haz1558

Nearly perfect? When did the element of doubt creep in?

3:34 am

jmcnrick

looks like the pb is going to be as active as it was yesterday!

3:34 am

Sally-catlover

lol jmc. It's a self-imposed one, sometimes ignored (like today when I haven't actually reached half).

3:35 am

Haz1558

Must remember not to mention time units of more than 24 hours...

3:35 am

jmcnrick

i am stumped at 12 words today! *sigh* babble keeps me humble

3:35 am

Karys

Something like that Haz, it seems the only strutured part of the day is breakfast time, which is when I try to do as much as I can. The rest of the day I just do dribs and drabs as I pass the puter.

3:36 am

Haz1558

And do you like it, or would you like to be more structured?

3:36 am

Karys

No, I like the oddness of days !

3:37 am

Sally-catlover

I don't ever mind people not saying hallo or goodbye Karys, what I do find surprising is when someone just appears and asks for a clue without even a please.

3:37 am

jmcnrick

that does seem a bit abrupt sally

3:37 am

Karys

As an 'observer' I get very cross about that too Sally !

3:38 am

Haz1558

That's good, then. It would be horrible if you really wanted to be all organised but had to go with the flow.

3:38 am

Sally-catlover

I do ignore such demands :-)

3:38 am

jmcnrick

but i try to imagine that they are down to one last word and have to go do something else really really soon

3:38 am

Karys

I think I have what is called a 'butterfly' mind.

3:39 am

jmcnrick

and th** i try to model good manners

3:39 am

Haz1558

There's bound to be a more flattering term, Karys. If pigheaded can be translated into disciplined, we can get something nicer than a butterfly mind.

3:39 am

jmcnrick

ooo karys that totally discribes me! ty ty ty i never heard that before

3:39 am

lynxxx

that is charming Karys (must remember that for me)

3:39 am

Karys

Still a 'please' would be nice.

3:39 am

jmcnrick

active mind

3:40 am

jmcnrick

but i like butterfly

3:40 am

Sally-catlover

Multi-tasking mind?

3:40 am

Haz1558

Maybe nicer isn't the right term - more flattering to the joys of butterflydom.

3:40 am

Karys

Oh, I like that jmc.

3:40 am

jmcnrick

oo that is good too sally

3:40 am

Sally-catlover

Think I have a caterpillar mind this morning.

3:41 am

Karys

LOL Sally.

3:41 am

Haz1558

There you go - I knew we'd come up with a new improved actively multi-tasking description.

3:41 am

jmcnrick

that is what i usually say -- i can only multi-task on 10 things at one time -- the 11th kills me

3:42 am

Karys

Well this mind has to flit from Babble, to making a fish pie, to getting some of my quilting done, not forgetting I must pop into the garden.

3:42 am

jmcnrick

a fish pie? i never had one of those

3:42 am

Haz1558

Funnily enough, my mind never strays to quilting.

3:42 am

Sally-catlover

mmm fish pie.

3:43 am

Karys

I do really need some shopping too, but I will ring said husband and he can do that.

3:43 am

Sally-catlover

Nor mine, though it does often stray to food.

3:43 am

jmcnrick

i think about quilting and how i am going to doit when i retire if i ever retire which i doubt

3:43 am

Karys

That comes as no surprise to me Haz !

3:43 am

Haz1558

You know me so well!

3:44 am

Karys

Fish Pie has come into later life for me jmc.

3:44 am

jmcnrick

describe it to me please

3:45 am

jmcnrick

anyone?

3:46 am

Karys

Pieces of as many bits of fish you can logically get hold of, cooked and mixed with a sauce and a few bits of veg. covered with mashed potato and baked.

3:46 am

Sally-catlover

Basically, mixed white fish, can add prawns if you like, in modicum of white sauce. Mashed potato on top, cheese on that if you like. Bung it in the oven till brown on top.

3:46 am

Karys

Tweaked to you own desires.

3:46 am

jmcnrick

oo so a fish shepards pie

3:46 am

Karys

Exactly !!

3:46 am

Sally-catlover

Yes jmc

3:47 am

jmcnrick

sounds tasty if i can use shrimp and salmon

3:47 am

Sally-catlover

I sometimes add tiny bits of bacon.

3:47 am

jmcnrick

working on liking talapia

3:47 am

Sally-catlover

You can add what you like jmc, that's the beauty of it.

3:47 am

jmcnrick

oo bacon is just the thing it needed!

3:47 am

Karys

A little smoked fish adds flavour.

3:47 am

jmcnrick

never thought of cheese with fish

3:47 am

Sally-catlover

And sweetcorn if I have it.

3:48 am

jmcnrick

sigh and here i am facing another day of rice

3:48 am

lshult

fish pie, also known as fisherman's pie (yes jm, like shepherds pie)

3:48 am

lynxxx

anchovies too?

3:48 am

Sally-catlover

I like the cheese on top.

3:48 am

rubyfoo

hello again

3:48 am

jmcnrick

hi ishult

3:48 am

lshult

afternoon all

3:48 am

jmcnrick

hi ruby

3:48 am

Karys

I chopped up the stalks of a little bit of broccoli too.

3:48 am

Sally-catlover

Think anchovies would be too strong and salty.

3:48 am

lynxxx

hi Ishult & Ruby

3:48 am

Haz1558

Hello, Ishult, ruby.

3:49 am

jmcnrick

just a few anchovies

3:49 am

Karys

Hello Ishult and ruby

3:49 am

lshult

never liked anchovies!!

3:49 am

Karys

I don't like anchovies

3:49 am

jmcnrick

i did not until about three years ago

3:50 am

joshuavorbis

fireworks

3:50 am

Haz1558

Poor anchovies, the only fish deemed unworthy of fish pie.

3:50 am

lynxxx

even in a Caesar?

3:50 am

Karys

I have only recently learned to like olives !

3:50 am

lynxxx

Congrats Josh!

3:50 am

jmcnrick

i bought some anchovie stuff olives by accident and was amazed

3:50 am

lshult

too salty, too fishy!!!

3:50 am

jmcnrick

whoo hoo joshua

3:50 am

Karys

Well done Josh !!

3:50 am

Sally-catlover

Now I chop anchovies and broccoli and add to pasta. Very tasty.

3:50 am

joshuavorbis

this one was tricky, but not like yesterday's

3:51 am

rubyfoo

that sounds wonderful! I love anchovies but rinse them to remove some of the saltiness, only thought of that last year

3:51 am

Haz1558

Nothing has been like yesterday's for a long time.

3:51 am

rubyfoo

slow learner

3:51 am

jmcnrick

my son ha*** olives until he got desperate in Guatemala for food -- he learned to like a lot of things he "ha***" before

3:51 am

rubyfoo

fish pie sounds wonderful!

3:51 am

Sally-catlover

If you cook them a little with the broccoli, ruby (and hallo), while you are cooking the pasta, then stir it all together and add parmesan. Very good instant meal.

3:51 am

joshuavorbis

anyone need a clue or two?

3:52 am

rubyfoo

anchovy-stuffed olives are my faves, and not bad in a drink with vodka and water

3:52 am

lshult

could use clues for the biggies?

3:52 am

Sally-catlover

Oh yes please could you give me the stats only for the C in the right column.

3:52 am

rubyfoo

how about the 9 and 10, joshua (and hello, smartie!)

3:52 am

jmcnrick

i will try them in my next martini

3:52 am

rubyfoo

hello ishult, jmc, haz and sally

3:53 am

jmcnrick

*wonders if she can take a martini on the plane from the airport in brussells*

3:53 am

joshuavorbis

if you are iffy or indecisive about something, you are re*****nt + yerba mate **a + past tense

3:53 am

joshuavorbis

+ past tense for the 10

3:53 am

rubyfoo

when I went to London on Easyjet, I brought a beer on board and got a severe talking-to from the flight attendant!

3:55 am

jmcnrick

ty joshua

3:55 am

rubyfoo

I drank it anyway.....

3:55 am

rubyfoo

I don't get the re clue....

3:55 am

Karys

Thank you for that Josh, and now I will go and attack the fish pie, bye everyone, good to chat !!

3:56 am

Sally-catlover

I did :-) and thanks joshua.

3:56 am

jmcnrick

no i know i am not suppose to take alcohol on the plane -- i will buy multiple jack daniels instead now that they only take credit cards on the planes

3:56 am

jmcnrick

bye karys pop out again soon!

3:56 am

Haz1558

Bye Karys.

3:56 am

joshuavorbis

i am re*****nt to give you all my money because i need it to spend for my own things

3:56 am

Sally-catlover

Bye Karys. Have a good day.

3:57 am

Haz1558

ruby, first find the re6/24 - then put the past tense of consumed food for the 9, make it a proper past tense for the 10.

3:57 am

rubyfoo

bye karys

3:58 am

rubyfoo

aaah, that's my problem, don't have the re6!

3:58 am

rubyfoo

putting monkeys to work

3:58 am

rubyfoo

got it, ty everybody

3:59 am

Sally-catlover

It was the 6 you were given the clue for. I am re****ant to give you money

3:59 am

Haz1558

Well done!

3:59 am

rubyfoo

I thought I tried that! I guess not... :(

3:59 am

lshult

ty, got the re8,9 & 10....whats the other 8?

4:00 am

Haz1558

gu8 - along the same lines at the end.

4:01 am

Haz1558

gu8 - past tense of gu7.

4:01 am

lshult

got it, thanks

4:01 am

rubyfoo

z

4:01 am

Haz1558

You're welcome.

4:01 am

lshult

4:02 am

lshult

oops .....sorry

4:02 am

Haz1558

No problem. Now I must take a break and try to bring some order to the house. Ishult is taking over the clues for a while...

4:03 am

Sally-catlover

The last one doesn't wor, ishult, but there are two anagrams of it which do!

4:03 am

Sally-catlover

tsk. wor -> work

4:04 am

rubyfoo

I was looking up gu6 eeeew

4:05 am

rubyfoo

nice anagrams, sally

4:05 am

rubyfoo

I just spent 1/2 hr looking for eggplants and zucchini which husband bought yesterday. He had put them in the pantry and I thought I had thrown them away.

4:06 am

rubyfoo

making ratatouille today

4:06 am

lshult

I make the best ratatouille

4:07 am

Sally-catlover

I like ratatouille - lots of garlic.

4:07 am

rubyfoo

every woman here has her own recipe. Mine is OK, but not great!

4:07 am

rubyfoo

what's your secret, ishult?

4:07 am

jmcnrick

mmmm ratatouille

4:07 am

rubyfoo

one neighbor cooks each part separately and with different spices

4:08 am

rubyfoo

do you put flour on the vegetables before you saute them?

4:09 am

lexi

when lickety is down, where does one go for clues?

4:09 am

jmcnrick

never thought about flouring the veggies

4:10 am

jmcnrick

some one usually posts them lexi

4:10 am

Sally-catlover

You could look in babanon, sometimes people post clues there, or gremlinn usually has them in his profile.

4:10 am

lshult

no real secret, I throw every thing in together (Zucinni, Eggplant, Green pepperts, onions), plenty of garlic, salt pepper, chopped tomatoes, tomato paste and a couple of Bay leaves. Cook really well.

4:10 am

rubyfoo

I've never done it that way, but I guess it changes the taste a little. I usually just saute what I can and then throw it all in a big pan and hope for the best. I'm not a dilligent cook any more

4:10 am

lynxxx

have a look on Babblers Anon, link under Lexi

4:10 am

jmcnrick

actually other than garlic and onion i don't saute anything

4:11 am

jmcnrick

lots of garlic.

4:11 am

rubyfoo

hello lynxxxx

4:11 am

rubyfoo

I like to read recipes for ideas, but then don't follow them

4:11 am

jmcnrick

okay i am about to go a a drive to somewhere to look at something

4:11 am

jmcnrick

send in the national guard if i don't come back ;-)

4:11 am

I hope it's large and furry and doesn't bite you!

4:12 am

5:30 am

Chris P

5:30 am

City 17 dweller

I'm not using a list, gran, sorry.

5:30 am

Sally-catlover

I only have that one, but don't have all the Ts.

5:31 am

City 17 dweller

thanks for that, Chris :)

5:31 am

gran

Thanks and finished

5:33 am

Chris P

like your comment about the life raft city, in your profile. Reminds me of someone once saying the babble theme was the Eagles 'Hotel California' - you can check out any time you want, but you can never leave.

5:34 am

City 17 dweller

lol, Chris, so true ... I almost gave up babbling once before, on the principle that I was spending too much time online, but I seem to have, er, backslid ;)

5:35 am

Chris P

I've tried so many times to walk away, even if for a few days, but the only time I manage it is when I'm on holiday. I'm so sad!

5:37 am

City 17 dweller

*grins* ... at least we can say it's a cerebral pastime, and just sort of gloss over the 'addicted' aspect.

5:38 am

Sally-catlover

I'm not addicted. I give it up every day.

5:39 am

City 17 dweller

lol, Sally

5:40 am

City 17 dweller

I'm actually okay if I can't get to play every day, but if I open it in the morning, and it looks like a nice big grid and then something happens to keep me away from the computer... agony!

5:40 am

Chris P

and if I start - I have to finish

5:42 am

Sally-catlover

I'm getting better at not having to finish. If it's late and I'm tired, I walk away and go to bed. One night I was sitting here trying to finish and falling asleep at the keyboard, and I thought this is stupidl It's only a game. So now I walk away if it's late.

5:43 am

Chris P

you're much better than me sally - I just can't do it. far too anal retentive, I think

5:43 am

City 17 dweller

Me too, Sally... I used to be like Chris, but it stopped being as much fun to play, so I weaned myself off the 'ranking' bug and now just enjoy the grid.

5:44 am

City 17 dweller

It's okay Chris... you get to describe yourself as a completionist around here ;)

5:45 am

Chris P

aw - you're just trying to make me feel better!

5:46 am

Lilecama

Hello everyone. Just reading your chat.... and the 'ranking bug'.... Please tell me HOW to ween yourself off having to finish and climbing in the rankings? I'm SO stuck on it that I even have this log-in name AND another one (pro). I use this one if I'm not sure I can finish...!! And if I do, then I type in ALL the words in the Pro log-in.... it is SO sad....HELP!!

5:46 am

Chris P

I'm sorry - but you're a lost cause Lilecama!!

5:47 am

Lilecama

LOL!!! well thanks for that. At least I know now....

5:48 am

City 17 dweller

LOL Lilecama, that is dedicated babbling

5:49 am

Sally-catlover

Anything which gets in the way of your normal life is an addiction, lilecama, at least that's what I told myself. I just thought, as I said, this is stupid. I left it and went to bed, and you know what? No-one died, no-one except me noticed. The rankings are really really not important. After all, if you are away you will drop in the rankings through no fault of your own. Also, if it's a really huge grid I often don't finish just because of the time available.

5:49 am

Lilecama

ah! dedicated is not a word that would come to my mind - but thanks city!

5:50 am

hydra

Hello everyone. Does anyone know what the ten letter word begins with? And has anyone posted any stats?

5:51 am

City 17 dweller

Gremlinn has a list... I think the 10 is an RE but don't have it yet

5:51 am

Lilecama

yeah, Sally - I KNOW all of this.... but you see I DO know that I have'nt finished. and I am Very Vain and like to see me somewhere in the rankings - and then, of course, the inbred competative element of having to be the best in the class if you want your daddy's approval.... sigh.... maybe I need therapy... ;)

5:51 am

Sally-catlover

The 10 letter is re 10/91, and is pt of re 9/66.

5:52 am

hydra

I long ago stopped beating myself up for not finishing. It wasn't worth the pain! Thanks, Sally.

5:52 am

Chris P

I'm exactly the same Lilecama!

5:52 am

Sally-catlover

If you need more of a clue ask Hydra

5:52 am

hydra

Yes please, Sally!

5:53 am

City 17 dweller

Lilecama, I watch the points go up in place of my 'babble' satisfaction... that way I can play most of every grid, finishing when I get the chance but not getting crazy if I can't come back to it.

5:53 am

Lilecama

*smiles* hey a buddy! what shall we do Chris?

5:53 am

Lilecama

btw de6/30 is a silly word

5:53 am

Sally-catlover

Start with the re 6/24: I am sometimes re****ant to give a clue. Then add what you did to your breakfast, then pt that.

5:53 am

Chris P

go to therapy together?

5:54 am

Sally-catlover

And also pt the re 6 you started with to give you re 8/55

5:54 am

City 17 dweller

Thanks Sally :)

5:54 am

hydra

Thanks very much!

5:54 am

City 17 dweller

I'd given up trying to extend that one, too

5:55 am

Sally-catlover

np

5:55 am

Sally-catlover

Someone else clued it earlier.

5:55 am

hydra

I've got the 9 but not the 10. It won't go plural.

5:55 am

Sally-catlover

Not plural, past tense

5:55 am

hydra

Oh! It's past tense. Got it now.

5:55 am

Lilecama

Well, I don't as yet go crazy, city, altho I do try and catch up and spend way too much time behind the screen in doing so.... Suppose it is mad in some way.

5:56 am

Lilecama

Chris.... I'll take you up on that!!

5:56 am

hydra

Well, with 97 left, I'd better do some work. *poof*

5:58 am

Lilecama

*waves to hydra with admiration for being able to just LEAVE!!!*

5:58 am

Sally-catlover

lol

5:59 am

City 17 dweller

LOL, I'm with Chris on this ... you're a lost cause!

6:00 am

Lilecama

oh, well, at least I've got a lost cause friend together with me, eh Chris?

6:01 am

Chris P

absolutely Lilecama

6:06 am

Lilecama

oooh chris - you're up at 1028!! II was nearly up there with you, but then had to go on holiday. So I've just dropped 20 points.... WHat do you think... get up to 1030, take a screen shot and then drop the addiction?

6:07 am

City 17 dweller

I have to admit I've kept some of my associated rituals - I can't list until I'm below 30 words left, regardless of grid size

6:07 am

Chris P

I've been at 1030 before, but can't seem to rest till I get there again!

6:08 am

City 17 dweller

It's a nice place to visit, but I wouldn't want to live there...

6:09 am

Lilecama

Yeah, I have my 'rules' too. Yours seem to be pretty strict tho'. I allow Lickety to help me when I'm over half way...

6:10 am

Lilecama

Lol City! I can understand that. Too much pressure i suppose. Good for you Chris, having been there. I'd like to have a peek - just once.... one day..... after HOURS of babbling.... ;)

6:10 am

Chris P

my only 'rule' is that if I start, I have to finish

6:11 am

Sally-catlover

lol you two! I have fireworks and am off now. Any clues needed?

6:11 am

Lilecama

yep, that one counts for me too....

6:11 am

City 17 dweller

congrats, Sally :)

6:11 am

Chris P

no thanks sally & well done

6:12 am

Lilecama

thanks sally, still ok at the moment. and good for you! congrats...

6:12 am

Sally-catlover

**gone** then

6:15 am

Lilecama

oh... but.... de5/16 is not being forthcoming. Clue anyone, please?

6:16 am

City 17 dweller

de + fuel

6:17 am

Lilecama

thanks city! how silly of me

6:19 am

City 17 dweller

np, I think I'm going to have to give in and ask for a hint at the other 8...I have the re.

6:19 am

Chris P

just got it - gu8

6:20 am

City 17 dweller

oh, never mind, monkeyed it

6:20 am

City 17 dweller

thanks anyway, Chris... what an odd ending

6:20 am

City 17 dweller

interesting definition

6:24 am

City 17 dweller

back in a bit ... some sort of sandwich is called for if I'm going to finish this

6:24 am

City 17 dweller

*will be spending time at the PB on the way back*

6:25 am

Lilecama

you can eat your sandwich in there then!

6:25 am

Chris P

lol

6:25 am

Lilecama

oops - and I'll come and join you!

6:31 am

City 17 dweller

Care for half a sandwich? Chicken and raw red onion, I'm afraid - not to everyone's taste.

6:32 am

Lilecama

thanks city! skip the raw onion and I'll chomp along with you.

6:32 am

City 17 dweller

LOL ... I just made the error message tell me 'you've already entered "th4/4"' ... small amusement, but still...

6:33 am

Lilecama

lol city!

6:42 am

Sandieangel

Hi does anyone know if there's a list anywhere. Lickety isn't up and there doesn't seem to be one in Babblers anon either.

6:44 am

Lilecama

Gremlin's got a list, Sandie

6:44 am

City 17 dweller

Gremlinn has one, I think

6:44 am

Sandieangel

Ok thanks - I'll try to find it.

6:45 am

Lilecama

you can find Gremlin in the rankings...

6:45 am

City 17 dweller

he's in the 1030 range in the rankings, Sandie, or he's been in the chog earlier, so you can get to his profile from viewing the chat log.

6:46 am

Sandieangel

Ah thanks for that.

6:46 am

m9f9l

the log doesn't link to profiles unfortunately

6:48 am

City 17 dweller

Hey, so it doesn't, I never noticed that... sorry, Sandie, guess it's the rankings after all.

Haz1558

hirsute?

9:25 am

ah th4's the one. Thanks Haz. Not even close enough to call it a phantom.

9:26 am

helensgirlkid

My horror of a phantom today is lettuce

Haz1558

I'm not alone! I think its the relief of getting dirty laundry clean again.

9:47 am

sprite

I am truly baffled, lol.

9:47 am

jmcnrick

i never hear it as it is in the basement of my house

9:47 am

jmcnrick

when i grew up it was in the kitchen and the dryer was in my bedroom

9:47 am

jmcnrick

imagine a clothes dryer in an unairconditioned bed room in Texas in August

9:48 am

Haz1558

Why on earth would you use a dryer? Why not dry outside?

9:48 am

sprite

all I can attribute to this kind of feelings is I love the smell of clean laundry. Especially when dried outside.

9:48 am

sprite

omg jmc, that is crazy!

9:48 am

car.eeyore

I don't like drying outside...I always find a stray but in my clothes.

9:48 am

jmcnrick

my mother worked and had 5 children -- the dryer was faster and she could do it at night

9:48 am

car.eeyore

Oh JMC! UGH!

9:49 am

sprite

when I take the laundry off the drying lines, I shake them out.

9:49 am

jmcnrick

the good side of it for me was no one would bother me when the dryer was going in the summer

9:49 am

Judi

The squirrels and birds would poo on my laundry if I hung it outside. Good morning, babblers!

9:49 am

Haz1558

Hello, Judi!

9:49 am

jmcnrick

when you dry outdoors the cloth is stiff too

9:49 am

jmcnrick

hi judi

9:49 am

NonoNanette

facebook retains the right to all your info even if you close your account. That's why I dont use it

9:50 am

sprite

hi Judi, that would be slighty contraproductive

9:50 am

Judi

Plus we have lots of trees. The sap would ruin what the animals didn't. Sigh.

9:50 am

NonoNanette

Judi I have that same problem with the birds and laundry

9:50 am

sprite

counterproductive

9:50 am

jmcnrick

the original founder of facebook wanted for college students only but his partner screwed him

9:50 am

Haz1558

You need nice breezes. I love getting clothes dried outside, the dryer is a last resort. Electricity prices are really high here, so that's another point to be considered.

9:50 am

EvaNadine

*excited*
mother-dear did some good investigating, and i think i may have just found the perfect wedding favors. :)

9:51 am

Well done, anike!

9:52 am

EvaNadine

yes. we live in a townhouse with no yard, so nowhere to hang things to dry. plus, summers here are so humid, things would take FOREVER to dry.
some certain things we will lay out about the house if we *really* dont want them to go in the dryer, but we just dont have the space to hang everything.

9:53 am

crosshair

here we could hang clothes,but summer consists of hot and humid or pouring rain and the other 9 months everything is frozen solid;(

9:55 am

EvaNadine

haz -- the best part (if im looking at the kit correctly) is that the bows are pre-tied on an elastic band. :)

9:55 am

Haz1558

That's cheating.

9:55 am

i like those party favours eva;)) good choice!!

9:55 am

9:56 am

Calgary is great for hanging clothes - unless we're having one of those occasional spells of rain every day at least for a while.

9:56 am

crosshair

mom is wise eva

9:57 am

helensgirlkid

When I moved here I had a one-year-old and no dryer, and I was very nervous about winter - but it's so dry that things would dry overnight at any temperature.

hiya crossy, did I say something stupid?

9:57 am

crosshair

i do not think so..howdy sprite;))

9:58 am

helensgirlkid

Put them out at minus 30, they'd freeze before I could get the pins on them! Had to wear gloves. Easy to tell when they were dry - they were flexible like cloth again!

9:58 am

ok :) Always a bit unclear about the right words for laundry.

9:59 am

we tried it once,end up breaking the clothes helen

9:59 am

Yes, you mustn't touch them once they're frozen until they're completely dry!

10:00 am

crosshair

I have to babysit my laundry at the launderette, or people tend to steal the clothes. Though compared to other stories, that sounds quite cute.

10:04 am

EvaNadine

dear fiance does most of our laundry, as he is very particular about how some of his pieces are handled.
the down-side is that im running frighteningly low on undies -- he tends to pick out his own things to wash and mine get neglected!

10:04 am

so is mine, jmc. Some guys are reallly the best.

'Twas an evening in October, I'll confess I wasn't sober,
I was carting home a load with manly pride,
When my feet began to stutter and I fell into the gutter,
And a pig came up and lay down by my side.
Then I lay there in the gutter and my heart was all a-flutter,
Till a lady, passing by, did chance to say:
"You can tell a man that boozes by the company he chooses,"
Then the pig got up and slowly walked away.

poor fiances finger (which he dislocated WAY back in january) is still healing -- knuckle is still slightly swollen. and of course, its his wedding-ring finger!

How do you mean, jmc? Anything the matter?

10:23 am

10:23 am

No shame in a single digression, Haz. It makes you look almost human. I think it is cute.

10:23 am

jmcnrick

lol oh really haz!

10:24 am

FMitch

I guess this wouldn't be the appropriate time to mention that Haz made a spelling mistake yesterday.

10:24 am

Nancy Boy

I bet the cabana boys would tell a different story.

10:32 am

10:33 am

Haz1558

Not for the horse - for me!

I once went to GB from Schiphol. Followed the whole path through the airport, finally into the tunnel.... all the way to the ground, where we had to climb a wooden crate to enter the very small airplane.

10:38 am

10:39 am

10:39 am

10:40 am

helensgirlkid

10:40 am

small planes are better because a pilot has a vested interest in that if he put it into the ground,he will be just as dead as everyone else,i love the small cessnas,beavers and otter float planes of the north;)

10:41 am

the shame... of being seen Babbling...

10:41 am

sprite

crossy, it did exactly what it had to do, and we arrived in one piece. Most of the other passengers were business men.

10:42 am

Judi

I much prefer to think that all pilots have a vested interest in anything they fly and everyone they fly with. It's not like they can eject at the last minute before a crash.

10:42 am

Judi

Ta8: threadbare, ragged.

10:42 am

rubyfoo

I love seaplanes but they are just as dangerous as any other single engine plane

rubyfoo

or the drugs.....

12:38 pm

jmcnrick

how could he not know alice in wonderland? *mystified*

12:39 pm

rubyfoo

he didn't believe in children's literature which goes far in explaining why his 3 children have no relationship with him.

12:40 pm

jmcnrick

sorry that is like not believing in china

12:40 pm

rubyfoo

he knows philosophy and business and classical music

12:40 pm

3:20 pm

Nancy Boy

3:20 pm

3:56 pm

Kalyn

if you reduce paper to pieces you need a cu6

3:56 pm

Vicuna

cu6/24 - one is a maker of knives, perhaps, the other is a cut of meat. They vary only int he last letter.

3:57 pm

KatieMcG

ty so much

3:57 pm

Vicuna

and then there's the cu6/24 that describes what the butcher is when he produces the cu6/24 of meat...

Soodlebum

Well, I think most Babblers would subscribe to that Spritey :-)

4:13 pm

KatieMcG

OKish, a lot going on a work at the moment with a new Government in but no sense getting worked up about it!

4:14 pm

sprite

maybe that is one of the reasons babble is such a nice community ;)

4:14 pm

KatieMcG

I used to have a golden rule about not going to the list until half way through. I abandoned it about 5 weeks ago and have had great fun since :-)

4:14 pm

5:20 pm

jacq

5:24 pm

jacq

that will give you the 9 and 10

5:24 pm

stidmama

we have been having such strange weather the last few years. Last year today reached 103 in Seattle... slightly higher here. Today it's close to normal, slightly below.

5:24 pm

stidmama

thanks jac. *thinking*

5:25 pm

jacq

5:25 pm

stidmama

5:25 pm

9:41 pm

kje

I have an intern who is a foreign medical graduate so english is not his first language

9:41 pm

featherbee

ga6 please?

9:41 pm

featherbee

oh, THAT story. having nothing to do with me. ok. go for it.

9:41 pm

Pinikula

uh oh

9:41 pm

kje

today when answering a page, the medical student hears him say to the nurse on the other end of the phone "will you please hold me"

9:42 pm

kje

so the student grabs him and says "what did you just say"

9:42 pm

Scrabbler

Hello kids!

9:42 pm

Pinikula

hiya scrabs

9:42 pm

kje

he says " I ask-ed the nurse to hold me"

9:42 pm

featherbee

hi scrabs!

9:42 pm

kje

the student says, "do you mean to put you on hold?"

9:42 pm

Minveryork

Hi Scrabbler! How are you doing?Welcome to the grid

9:42 pm

Pinikula

a little "friendly", eh, kje ;)

9:43 pm

kje

so he tells me tonight that for the last 28 days he has been asking nurses to hold him

9:43 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

hold me, touch me . . . hold me, touch me . . .

9:43 pm

Scrabbler

My netbook got fixed and I just spent the evening re-installing Firefox + add-ons.

9:43 pm

featherbee

LOL!

9:43 pm

Minveryork

LOL kje!

9:43 pm

kje

instead of to put him on hold while they look something up

9:43 pm

Scrabbler

Great story, kje

9:43 pm

kje

I cracked up - and told him the nurses are definitely now telling stories about him

9:43 pm

Pinikula

* giggle *

9:44 pm

Minveryork

A ga 6/27 word means to come together featherbee.

9:44 pm

Scrabbler

Yep, they will tell that story forever

9:44 pm

Pinikula

congrats scrabs...welcome back!

9:44 pm

featherbee

oops, meant the ga6/39

9:44 pm

kje

the funny thing is, he is not at all the lecherous type of guy who would ask the nurses to hold him, he was mortified when he realized his mistake

9:44 pm

Scrabbler

Next I will bring in my desktop to get tuned up--it is SLOW

9:44 pm

kje

yep, scrab... can't you hear them in their breakroom!

9:44 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

just found that ga6 = petrol + ending meaning to make something (look for high-calue letters)

9:45 pm

Pinikula

poor thing, kje...

9:45 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

calue = value (OY)

9:45 pm

Scrabbler

TY, BDG

9:45 pm

Pinikula

thx gwen ;)

9:45 pm

featherbee

ahh, ty

9:45 pm

kje

"will you please hold me?" I am still laughing

9:45 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

8-D

9:46 pm

Pinikula

I'm sure he'll never live it down! ;)

9:46 pm

mungekin

gu 8?

9:46 pm

kje

I would have loved to have seen the nurse's face the first time he asked that

9:46 pm

Scrabbler

Especially new interns--they get brutalized + abused by everyone

9:46 pm

kje

especially one of the male nurses

9:46 pm

Minveryork

A gu8 word is the past tense of A gu7 word mungekin

9:46 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

gu8 = the eaves on your roof, but change the ending into a verb

9:47 pm

Pinikula

oh, to have been a fly on the wall when he said that to a male nurse! :)

9:47 pm

kje

ours get brutalized by some of the asshole fellows or surgeons when they try to call in consults, but for the most part, the nursing staff is very supportive

9:47 pm

kje

and very patient

9:48 pm

Scrabbler

Some attendings made me cry when I was a resident, but I never gave them the satisfaction of seeing me cry.

9:49 pm

kje

i must say, no one made me cry as a house officer, though I was so tired at times I wanted to cry just from that - but we had awesome attendings, and even the ones who weren't I never really took personally

9:49 pm

wht

clue for the first cu6,24 please

9:50 pm

kje

cu6y - utensils

9:50 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

cu6 rhymes with the man who runs your mansion

9:50 pm

Scrabbler

One of the NICU attendings was nuts + OCD + yelled at us re every decision we made, esp overnight, e.g. vent changes

9:50 pm

featherbee

ty kje

9:50 pm

Minveryork

cu6/24:what a scissor does plus I **a*ned how to knit

9:51 pm

featherbee

29 left. racing kje's hour.

9:51 pm

kje

i had a micu attending who told my program diretcor that i was obstructionist after I refused to write an order to sedate a patient who was asking to leave (it is illegal) - my program director congratulated me

9:52 pm

Scrabbler

Good for you, doing the right thing!

9:52 pm

kje

he said it is a badge of honor if that particular attending didn't like you

9:52 pm

Pinikula

well done, kje! :)

9:52 pm

Scrabbler

So that attending like the passive, submissive residents?

9:53 pm

kje

but i was older when i went back to med school, so I had seen more and knew people better... some people are just asses and you can't take it personally

9:53 pm

kje

that attending was a jerk...

9:53 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

hope i never get stuck in a hospital that sedates *me* if i want to leave. sounds like a prison

9:53 pm

wht

c's conquered

9:54 pm

lu5 please?

9:54 pm

Pinikula

well done, wht

9:54 pm

ty

9:54 pm

Minveryork

Cool wht!

9:54 pm

Scrabbler

Yep, there are a lot of meanies that have power/control/ego issues. How did we ever get through residency, kje? I taught 3rd yr students yesterday and I felt so sorry for them

9:54 pm

kje

was a young guy who had come in intoxicated and it was NY eve and the attending said if we let him go he would just go out and get drunk and hurt himself

9:54 pm

kje

I said, that may be, but we cannot keep him here aginst his will

9:55 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

lu5, "filthy lu***"

9:55 pm

kje

he then asked me if i had children and i said no, so he said i cannot have an opinion about it

9:55 pm

wht

th Gwenn

9:55 pm

kje

so i quietly handed off the chart to the fellow and said, i will not write that order

9:55 pm

Pinikula

what a jerk, kje

9:55 pm

wht

Ooops. ty.

9:55 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

you can't have an opinion? OMG what an asshole

9:56 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

that's like saying i cant have an opinion about the death penalty unless i've been executed. LOLOL

9:56 pm

kje

she wrote it, and i told my chiefs who called an ethics consult - the next morning the guy was gone, apparently he decided to let him wake up and leave that afternoon

9:57 pm

Shirlockc

itty should be a word, itty bitty

9:57 pm

kje

i figured he must have a kid with problems or something and was reacting to that rather than the young man we had...

9:57 pm

Scrabbler

I agree, shirlock

9:57 pm

featherbee

i agree shirl

9:57 pm

Pinikula

ci7?

9:58 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

9:58 pm

Shirlockc

teeny is a word so itty should be one too, only fair

9:58 pm

kje

not guts, I was a brat - LOL

9:58 pm

Minveryork

That ci 7/32 word rhymes with gi 7/36 word Pinikula.

9:58 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

ci7, rhymes with a gi7, medieval instrument (sounds like an indoor toilet)

9:58 pm

Minveryork

9:59 pm

Scrabbler

Here's a story to help you be grateful, Feather: I saw newborn triplet boys--natural conception, no fertility drugs. The parents ALSO have a 6 yr old boy and 2 yr old twin boys (also natural conception). Recipe for insanity!

9:59 pm

Pinikula

isn't an indoor toilet called a toilet?

9:59 pm

featherbee

re help please? re6/24?

9:59 pm

kje

lol book, i read that at first to mean the instrument sounded like a toilet, so had to wonder a bit... then I realized it is the word that sounds like a toilet

9:59 pm

featherbee

nan, that is like to be unwilling to, ends in years rather than picnic pest

11:09 pm

jillibus

I'm sorry, gang, I'm too tired to clue comprehensibly.

11:09 pm

stidmama

email is better, saanichcat didn't respond to my email a couple months ago, raelite may or may not come. have to write to hetty and see how she is

11:09 pm

stidmama

the 10 is past tense of course

11:09 pm

stidmama

the re 8 that comes after drops the eating term
