Hello, sister

12:49 am

melissamay

I did feel clever, I usually don't find the big baddies this early in the game!

12:49 am

cybernan

r is in the wrong place, christine

12:49 am

jillibus

whoa -- I see there are 2 ho 9s and an ho 10!

12:51 am

melissamay

I have all the Hs and I only see one 8 and 9 though, jilli.

12:51 am

dizgrannie

Jill, think the H 9and 10 are the extra words cos I have all the H's without them

12:51 am

melissamay

jinx diz!

12:51 am

Christine

I know, it's just not fair.

12:51 am

Christine

I know, it's just not fair.

12:51 am

flosey

thanks jilli, got one of the 9s

12:51 am

dizgrannie

YW Mel, but what for??? LOL

12:51 am

jillibus

oh, whew, diz! Thanks!

12:52 am

Christine

I know, it's just not fair.

12:52 am

dcseain

yes, it won't take ho5ca4, though it likely would take oxca4

12:52 am

dart001

guessing those would be horsecart/s..must not take them

12:52 am

melissamay

We said the same thing and the same time!

12:52 am

MLFAN17

i need one for nbt but i have 103 words found

12:52 am

melissamay

lose the last letter dart :D

12:52 am

dcseain

12:52 am

dizgrannie

LOL see what ya mean, Mel

12:52 am

MLFAN17

dar i just tried horsecart no luck

12:52 am

12:53 am

Christine

I have 120, but still lots of BTs.

12:53 am

jillibus

but that chat found me the ho8 and 9 ;)

12:53 am

joshuavorbis

guys, let's not put the ca4 before the ho5. it might be some other ho9/10

12:53 am

cybernan

think there should be an ho 9-x2

12:53 am

MLFAN17

what do you mean josh?

12:53 am

cybernan

*enable doesn't like that one!

12:53 am

joshuavorbis

just making a joke, mlf

12:53 am

melissamay

agreed, it's weird they took the former and not the latter

12:54 am

Uneaixoise

185, ruru, and I'm off *poof*

12:54 am

cybernan

yes josh -- the one you just described is not accepted by enable

12:54 am

rururocks

252 and stuck

12:54 am

joshuavorbis

is lickety up today?

12:54 am

MLFAN17

yeah HO 9/10 i just treid should work tink but it doesnt

12:54 am

MLFAN17

yes josh

12:54 am

jillibus

yes, josh, with 2 extra words

12:55 am

cybernan

ah ruru -- read the label on my ortega bottle: it is a german varietal resulting from crossing muller-thurgau with siegrebbe vines.

12:55 am

rururocks

oh..

12:58 am

feralous

se6,7,8,8,8 combo

12:59 am

cybernan

mmm -- missed one of those 8's feralous

12:59 am

dcseain

oddly, it won't let you plural on of the 8s, which seems to me ought be plurable

1:00 am

joshuavorbis

dc - you'd have to reuse that r for that

1:00 am

cybernan

agreed dc

1:00 am

feralous

i almost missed it too cybernan

1:00 am

VolleymomDee

to 8 and to 9 if not said

1:00 am

dcseain

no you would not

1:01 am

VolleymomDee

anyone have the last 9?

1:01 am

cybernan

not yet, dee

1:01 am

joshuavorbis

to get to a plural you would

1:01 am

VolleymomDee

ty nan

1:01 am

cybernan

still looking for that last se 8 in the combo

1:01 am

dcseain

no add'l r neded for the plural

1:02 am

joshuavorbis

i know, but you'd have to use the same r twice to get to the last s

1:02 am

cybernan

unless we are looking at two different combos...shhhh?

1:02 am

joshuavorbis

maybe we're talking about different words, i dunno

1:02 am

dcseain

no you do not.

1:02 am

dcseain

oh, yes, that is possible nan

1:02 am

feralous

ho9, re9x2, to9

1:02 am

joshuavorbis

the last se8 is definitely pluralable, but not in this grid

1:03 am

VolleymomDee

ty fer!

1:03 am

dcseain

last se8 i have is plural

1:03 am

dcseain

so, must be more than one such combo. hm

1:03 am

joshuavorbis

ok, then we're talking about different words

1:03 am

VolleymomDee

I don't think I have ever seen the ho 9 before lol

1:03 am

feralous

alt spelling of first se8

1:04 am

cybernan

ty seain -- that last comment gave it to me :)

1:04 am

joshuavorbis

i see which se8 you're talking about now, sorry for the confusion

1:04 am

dcseain

all good :)

1:04 am

dart001

fireworks

1:05 am

joshuavorbis

i think that se8 is an intensifier of the se6, and not a noun

1:05 am

joshuavorbis

gj dart

1:05 am

dcseain

congrats, dart

1:05 am

VolleymomDee

so there are 3 se 8's? Is that correct

1:05 am

VolleymomDee

wtg dart!!

1:05 am

cybernan

train carriage that was pulled by the animal, dee -- there is one in the british rail museum in York.

1:06 am

joshuavorbis

as far as i know, dee, but i am missing some 8's still

1:06 am

dcseain

i thought it one who of the se7, but good point josh

1:06 am

VolleymomDee

ty

1:06 am

dart001

4 se 8's

1:06 am

VolleymomDee

aaaahhh now I get the alt sp comment

1:06 am

cybernan

but the other one is also possible to pl. without repeating the r

1:07 am

VolleymomDee

ty dart

1:07 am

cybernan

only have one re 9 -- time to look for the other

1:07 am

joshuavorbis

ah, got the 4th se8, ty dart

1:08 am

dart001

3 are related..the other you might vacation at

1:08 am

VolleymomDee

ty ty great clue

1:08 am

dcseain

she sells sea shells

1:08 am

VolleymomDee

lol

1:09 am

dcseain

that alt spelling ought be pluralable, IMHO

1:09 am

VolleymomDee

I agree dc

1:10 am

joshuavorbis

if you're talking about the noun, you can't plural it in this grid without reusing an r - try typing, it will not say "word not found" but "does not exist in this puzzle"

1:10 am

dcseain

well, 108 to go and i'm crashing.

1:11 am

dcseain

so, g'day night/day and happy babbling, yall!

1:11 am

rururocks

1:18 am

VolleymomDee

there are 2 ho 9's on lickety's list... wouldn't take them, so I do think they are the extras

1:18 am

VolleymomDee

said "not in dictionary" when I typed

1:18 am

cybernan

oh -- misread your query -- yes, I think they are

1:19 am

flosey

1:20 am

jillibus

it will be hard to leave it! Can you not add a bedroom wing on the main floor?

1:26 am

VolleymomDee

would put us too close to the river and would be an overdevelopment for our house... if it doesn't sell, we will probably reconsider options, but not our first choice

1:27 am

jillibus

well, you know best, dee :)

1:27 am

VolleymomDee

ours is one of the larger ones, and we are afraid to put more money into this one...

1:28 am

rururocks

VolleymomDee

1:28 am

VolleymomDee

1:29 am

VolleymomDee

1:29 am

jillibus

1:29 am

jillibus

1:30 am

jillibus

ca

1:31 am

jillibus

how did that get there?

1:31 am

VolleymomDee

not yet... just a different distribution of square feet... hoping to have room for family visits still

1:31 am

VolleymomDee

so not quite ready to downsize

1:32 am

jillibus

would you be building or buying, dee?

1:32 am

rururocks

1:32 am

VolleymomDee

jillibus

Oh, that's great, dee!

1:35 am

rururocks

*bows*

1:35 am

VolleymomDee

but we really don't want to make any offers until we are sure ours will sell for what we want

1:35 am

jillibus

Amazing, ru!

1:35 am

jillibus

That sounds wise, dee.

1:35 am

flosey

wow ru, very well done

1:36 am

rururocks

it is hard to sell and buy at the same time

1:36 am

VolleymomDee

1:36 am

rururocks

1:37 am

jillibus

flosey

1:38 am

flosey

.

1:39 am

VolleymomDee

1:39 am

jillibus

bye ruru!

1:39 am

flosey

oh, sorry, missed it

1:39 am

flosey

flosey

1:39 am

flosey

1:40 am

jillibus

I have??? *thinking (in vain)

1:40 am

VolleymomDee

1:40 am

flosey

1:40 am

flosey

1:40 am

VolleymomDee

1:40 am

VolleymomDee

ty

1:40 am

jillibus

I'm getting a vague idea -- pls put me out of my ignorant misery!

1:41 am

flosey

an old girlfriend of his, back in HS days made that for him

1:41 am

flosey

l:40 jilli

1:41 am

jillibus

dee, I've wondeered about grem too. We heard from chuggaboom the other day -- not doing well. He's only 18!

1:41 am

VolleymomDee

ooooh, so sorry to hear

1:42 am

flosey

hope chugga keeps in touch, needs the positive contacts

1:42 am

jillibus

Oh, sorry, flosey, missed that -- of course -- your handsome son!

1:42 am

VolleymomDee

definitely agree

1:43 am

jillibus

and flosey, what do you think of my smoked samon recipe? (It's not mine, but sounded tasty)

1:43 am

jillibus

*salmon

1:44 am

flosey

jilli, hubby and 3 kids love smoked salmon, I can barely stand the smell, hate to admit that

1:44 am

flosey

I'll copy it though, for the girls

1:44 am

jillibus

oh, that's too bad, flosey!

1:45 am

flosey

I don't see a recipe

1:45 am

flosey

only for the cake

1:46 am

VolleymomDee

well, I need to get going; have a great eve / day! *poofing with hugs*

1:46 am

VolleymomDee

gn all!!

1:46 am

flosey

goodnight Dee, sweet dreams

1:47 am

jillibus

Oops! I forgot to copy and paste -- do you see the recipe now?

1:48 am

flosey

yes, thanks jilli, have copied it into my bio for now

1:48 am

jillibus

g'night dee, and good luck with the house!

1:49 am

flosey

have it now, the girls will love it - Geo too

1:50 am

flosey

Gord too, Dave is like his mother!

1:51 am

jillibus

oh, heredity is funny

1:51 am

flosey

sure is

1:52 am

flosey

unfortunate in a way, his wife grew up eating fish of all kinds - in Philippines

1:53 am

jillibus

are you both total fishophobes?

1:53 am

flosey

no, I love halibut, salmon, can eat salmon pate

1:53 am

flosey

love shrimp, etc

1:54 am

jillibus

I'm glad I like almost everything

1:54 am

flosey

living here, for sure

1:55 am

flosey

really very few things I can't eat - just that one

1:56 am

jillibus

wel, I suppose it's fairly pungent. What about the other kind of smoked salmon -- not the lox type?

1:56 am

flosey

ah, finally got the first ca6 and 7, so silly! so obvious!

1:56 am

flosey

no, no raw salmon

1:57 am

flosey

I have prepared it for others, smell is just a bit offensive, but to get it in my mouth is another word

1:57 am

jillibus

The kind I'm thinking of isn't raw, but coooked over smoke.

1:57 am

flosey

no, none of that

1:58 am

jillibus

very odd! What about other smoked fish, like kippers?

1:58 am

flosey

it also looks very attractive on a buffet table

1:58 am

flosey

oh no, not those either

1:59 am

jillibus

so it's really the smoked flavour you don't like.

1:59 am

flosey

perhaps, but lox doesn't have smoke, think it's the texture there

2:00 am

jillibus

Hmf -- CTV just went off the air

2:00 am

flosey

well, does that mean it's time for bed?

2:03 am

jillibus

it's back now

2:03 am

jillibus

it's back now

2:03 am

flosey

and it's the witching hour

2:04 am

jillibus

it's back now -- but it IS time for bed, lol!

2:04 am

jillibus

that was a long hiccup

2:04 am

flosey

sometimes, lately, it seems to be

2:05 am

varumba

hellooooo

2:05 am

flosey

hello varumba

2:05 am

jillibus

hi varumba

2:06 am

varumba

been trying to say helo for 5 min, lol.. for some reason my msg would not leaving the typing box

2:06 am

varumba

hello*

2:06 am

flosey

beautiful icon varumba

2:06 am

varumba

ty

2:07 am

jillibus

because you hit the hiccup time, varumba, when nothing works for a few minutes. Same time every day/night

2:07 am

varumba

oh ok

2:07 am

varumba

i thought it might be my network

2:08 am

varumba

how is this grid?

2:08 am

jillibus

No, just a babble quirk -- some kind of adjustment, we guess

2:08 am

flosey

not really bad varumba

2:08 am

flosey

have been here for 2 hours and have 208 words

2:09 am

varumba

ok

2:09 am

jillibus

This grid is BIG. Ruru and dart have finished quite fast, but then they're superhuman.

2:09 am

jillibus

I only have 141 words. I'm subhuman.

2:09 am

varumba

lmao, ok... it's morning time for me, so i can onmly play for 10 min or so..... huurying up to finish breakfast now so i can start ;)

2:09 am

flosey

slower if you enjoy the chat, but that's half the fun

2:09 am

Christine

Varumba, someone named that The Twitching Hour

2:09 am

flosey

no, jilli, you just enjoy the chat

2:10 am

jillibus

Great name, Christine, and hi!

2:10 am

varumba

hi crhis... .do you mean that time of the day where babble doesn't work?

2:10 am

Christine

Ji, Dear -- not my name for it, I refer to it as a hiccup.

2:11 am

Christine

Yes, it generally hits about midnite (left coast time) and stops your post.

2:11 am

flosey

the witching hour for me because it's midnight our time and isn't that when we turn into pumpkins?

2:12 am

Christine

*Jillibus - don't lnow whay happened to the rest of your name -- you jknow I never abreviate, but the gremlins got in

2:14 am

flosey

not getting the ea7, anyone have a clue?

2:14 am

varumba

sry, just starting!

2:15 am

flosey

ty

2:15 am

jillibus

no, flosey, don't have it either

2:16 am

flosey

I'll come back to it

2:16 am

jillibus

Christine, I don't mind abbreviations ;)

2:17 am

2:18 am

joey

hi jillibus

2:19 am

varumba

helloo indeed

2:19 am

Christine

I find it almosdt impossible to abreviate names -- I like my name and often don't realise people are addressing me when they say Chris.

2:20 am

varumba

<<<<<makes a mental note to call you christine

2:21 am

jillibus

I've been Jilly with my hubby's family for years and love it, so like being called jilli here.

2:21 am

jillibus

But jillibus was my dad's pet name for me when I was little, so that's nice too.

2:22 am

Christine

I figure, the name a person chose for this game is the one s/he wanrs to use ...

2:23 am

Christine

My daughter is Vanessa, which I think is a beautiful name, but her Father's wife insists on calling her Nessie, and taught her children to do so -- makes me want to do bodily harm

2:24 am

jillibus

Vanessa's a lovely name.

2:24 am

flosey

oh, I don't blame you Christine, what a beautiful name

2:24 am

varumba

i like var myself..... but whatever ppl choose... personally, i shorten names coz i'm lazy :D

2:24 am

flosey

My M-I-L called me Flo and I disliked it coming from her

2:24 am

jillibus

me too, var ;)

2:24 am

m9f9l

hi all

2:25 am

m9f9l

missed flip

2:25 am

flosey

hi m9

2:25 am

varumba

hi m9!

2:25 am

jillibus

Oh, I hope you don't mind flo from otheres, flosey!

2:25 am

jillibus

hello m9

2:25 am

Christine

My Mother used to say, if I wanted you called Judy or Mal or Chris, that woul be your name. My youngest sister, Marianne, plays here using the name Mal .

2:25 am

flosey

absolutely not, jilli - it just irked me because I really wasn't at all fond of the woman

2:25 am

jillibus

typo time -- bedtime banana-milk time too, methinks

2:26 am

jhb

And I bet you really love Miss Yetta for shortening Banethi's name

2:26 am

varumba

an di need to shut this down if i want to go to work on time - which i need to do ;)

2:26 am

jillibus

Well, I think I've told people the problems I had with Gillian (my real name)

2:26 am

varumba

this is gonna mess my grid... as i'll have forgotten tonight which words i got!

2:26 am

varumba

*sigh* work ALWAYS gets in the way....

2:27 am

flosey

but they stay here, varumba

2:27 am

jhb

Sorry guys. Banethi is my pet name for Christine's daughter. Neither of them like it and I just use it to rile my sister.

2:27 am

jillibus

The grid will remember, varumba

2:27 am

varumba

ok guys, hag night/ day..... syl!!! lol jill

2:27 am

2:32 am

Christine

Hey, Judith - remember I told you the Spanish neighbours (from Castille) called her Banethi - -love names are okay, but NOT!!! Nessie.

2:32 am

jillibus

goodnight again and *repoof*

2:33 am

Christine

That bloomin' sister of mine, floats in and out

2:33 am

Christine

Sleep well, Jillibus.

2:33 am

J. C.

I have a friend called Vanessa who some have tried to call 'Nessie'. Hasn't gone over well. :P

2:34 am

m9f9l

I had one friend that called me mar. and my brother has called me that on ra4 occasions. but I don't really have a nickname.

2:34 am

Christine

m9f91 -- That''s Peter Pumokineater

2:35 am

m9f9l

Miy MIL is STILL called by her childhood nickname! By all of her family at least.

2:35 am

m9f9l

oh you know this pumpkin?LOL

2:36 am

Christine

I married a man named Jack, but his name is really Henry, and his sister Jenelle was always called Jill

2:36 am

J. C.

It's eating another pumpkin, m9. :P

2:36 am

J. C.

So it must be...

2:36 am

m9f9l

although the typo makes it sound like it's eating indian jerky.LOL

2:36 am

Christine

*Pumpkineater

2:36 am

J. C.

My middle name is Peter. And I could eat pumpkins.

2:36 am

m9f9l

2:37 am

flosey

pumpkin pie is yummier

2:37 am

m9f9l

2:37 am

m9f9l

2:39 am

FishFishGarden

m9f9l

hello fish

2:40 am

J. C.

Morning, Fish.

2:41 am

Christine

Fooooool, that's because he couldn't/wouldn't say her name.

2:41 am

m9f9l

12:4 is no time to be arguing about Wham! lyrics...LOL I have such a strange household.

2:42 am

Christine

Judith, did you remember to say White Rabbits ??

2:42 am

J. C.

Hmmm. To which song, m9?

2:42 am

jhb

Kitchen still awaiting clearing. Wish I was that woman in Bewitched.

2:42 am

jhb

No Christine - forgot all about it.

2:43 am

J. C.

Ah. The re8,40 and re9,54 were easy to see...

2:43 am

m9f9l

careless whisper.

2:43 am

J. C.

How did I know? Thought of that one immediately.

2:43 am

jhb

Hot pumpkin soup M9 with a lump of blue cheese tossed in just before serving. Fantastic.

2:44 am

J. C.

I am psychic though.

2:44 am

m9f9l

oh now I'll have to look for them.. and feel stupid when I can't find them!LOL

2:44 am

m9f9l

blue cheese?!?!?

2:45 am

jhb

Yes - I didn't have any sour cream one night and put the blue cheese in. Necessity being the mother of invention eh?

2:45 am

m9f9l

ack! there's so many re's!~!!!!!

2:45 am

flosey

there are 2 x re8 and 9 JC

2:45 am

J. C.

Ah. Glad I don't know how many. :P

2:45 am

J. C.

Are they similar?

2:46 am

flosey

I only have 1, no idea what the other is

2:46 am

m9f9l

I just got an 8!

2:46 am

m9f9l

and a nine!

2:46 am

J. C.

Well I was asking m9. ;)

2:46 am

m9f9l

I suppose someone who works in a bowling alley

2:47 am

flosey

that's the one I have

2:47 am

m9f9l

oh.. I don't know how many either.. I just meant on the grid!

2:47 am

J. C.

Hmmm. Someone's trying to make me think this early in the day. :P

2:47 am

m9f9l

FIVE different places an re could start!

2:48 am

flosey

isn't it easier than this late in the night, JC

2:48 am

J. C.

Is either one easy? :P

2:48 am

flosey

lol

2:49 am

J. C.

Ah. It's the person who puts the pins back in place, isn't it? I guess...?

2:49 am

m9f9l

yeah.. but J.C. is probably all energized with good fruits and vegetables.. and we're trying to do the grid on days of halloween candy!LOL

2:49 am

flosey

lol, someone has to finish up the remains!!

2:49 am

J. C.

Energised? :P Hmmm. Caffeinated...

2:49 am

m9f9l

I keep thinking of all these words that end "eat"... but there's no a near any of those t's!

2:50 am

m9f9l

another thing I don't do. Really.. sugar is about the only vise left to me!LOL

2:50 am

J. C.

Our alarm goes off too early. We need separate bedrooms - as I keep saying. Never happens. ;)

2:51 am

flosey

I tried that too JC, didn't go

2:52 am

flosey

although, in truth, we both get a much better sleep when alone

2:52 am

J. C.

Well I wouldn't try it really. I just whinge about being woken up so early in the week. :P Office workers!

2:53 am

flosey

if one is restless, it is disturbing

2:53 am

m9f9l

my parents were on different floors even!LOL

2:53 am

J. C.

Due to snoring, by any chance?

2:53 am

J. C.

Naturally I don't snore. Ian does. :P

2:53 am

flosey

well, that's what would happen here, only 1 bedroom on this floor

2:53 am

J. C.

Just as naturally, he would say the opposite. :P

2:53 am

m9f9l

my dad was a HUGE snorer!

2:53 am

flosey

lo, I do - so I'm told

2:54 am

J. C.

If you were to ask him...

2:54 am

flosey

or use to!

2:54 am

flosey

lol JC, only when we're angry!! which is seldom

2:55 am

J. C.

Hmmm. Even on Halloween, you can't frighten anyone a second time, I see...

2:55 am

J. C.

Hmmm, flosey?

2:55 am

m9f9l

I remember one thunderstorm, so we didn't tent camp that night.. but got a cabin (I think we were in Yellowstone).. and it wasn't the thunderstorm that kept us up.

2:55 am

J. C.

Oh we're bitchy to and about each other often - it's usually only in jest, however. ;)

2:56 am

J. C.

That's why we get away with it...

2:56 am

m9f9l

you trying to frighten someone?

2:56 am

J. C.

Hmmm? Now why would I want to do that?

2:56 am

rubyfoo

today is a big holiday here, nice to have such a loarge grid!

2:56 am

J. C.

I tried to enter a word, meaning to frighten again. Didn't work, however.

2:56 am

m9f9l

my brother tried pinching my dad's nose.... we gently put a pillow on his face... LOL

2:57 am

m9f9l

ah! I get it!

2:57 am

J. C.

Thought you might. ;)

2:57 am

flosey

hope it was gentle!

2:57 am

m9f9l

I think we even tried pushing him onto his side..

2:58 am

m9f9l

but even the three of us probably couldn't do that.

2:58 am

flosey

heavy sleeper

2:59 am

m9f9l

yeah.. and heavy man! 350 lbs

2:59 am

m9f9l

was probably about 65 at that time.

2:59 am

flosey

hmmm, indeed!

2:59 am

m9f9l

years

3:00 am

flosey

hubby's nephew (lived on next property) was 495 lb when the dr. put him into hospital until he lost a couplehundred lbs

3:00 am

m9f9l

3:00 am

J. C.

Oh my gosh...

3:01 am

flosey

3:01 am

flosey

he died young

3:01 am

flosey

had had a couple heart attacks

3:01 am

J. C.

Not surprised. Sad. :(

3:01 am

FishFishGarden

495 lbs?!?! bugger me, my entire family weighs less!

3:01 am

m9f9l

so did my brother. Well.. about 50

3:01 am

m9f9l

congestive heart failure

3:01 am

J. C.

Yes. Hardly surprising...

3:01 am

m9f9l

you're still here fish? so quiet.

3:02 am

3:03 am

m9f9l

busy..yet without...LOL

3:03 am

J. C.

Get me? Well. Tried to tell you something amusing the other day and you seemed to want to disregard it - it's quite amusing, too. Don't want to say what it was about in here, but would have sent it to you, as it would have given you as much of a headshake, eyeroll and laugh...

3:04 am

J. C.

Without grid? I think you mean without list - without grid would be, well, impossible?

3:04 am

FishFishGarden

I put my gmail in my profile

3:04 am

J. C.

Ah. You were talking around it, so I thought you saw.

3:04 am

J. C.

Got it. ;) I'll forward...

3:04 am

m9f9l

rubyfoo

3:11 am

FishFishGarden

3:11 am

dizgrannie

ya lucky 'marbles' isn't in the grid...hehehe

3:11 am

m9f9l

FishFishGarden

J. C.

It is sent, Fish...

3:12 am

m9f9l

3:13 am

J. C.

That's one of the first words I saw in the grid - surprisingly. :P

3:13 am

J. C.

The one Fish just said, that is...

3:13 am

J. C.

Fancy that?

3:14 am

rubyfoo

Ilove this grid!

3:14 am

m9f9l

3:14 am

FishFishGarden

J. C.

Tell me about it?!

3:15 am

dizgrannie

57 left and only 2 nines and 10 eights

3:15 am

J. C.

I was laughing like you can't imagine...

3:15 am

J. C.

Talk about uptight and humourless...

3:15 am

m9f9l

I only have one of ea4

3:15 am

J. C.

And, well. The rest doesn't need saying. :P

3:16 am

m9f9l

you sent him an email about my mother?!?!?

3:16 am

rubyfoo

ea44, gain a living, ea4/4 one hears with, ea4/4 not busy

3:16 am

J. C.

Yes, m9. Of course. :P

3:16 am

m9f9l

I wasn't looking for clues.. I was just not saying the word!LOL

3:16 am

J. C.

As if I know much of anything about her? :P

3:17 am

rubyfoo

hahah, m9, sorry

3:17 am

m9f9l

oh but you had her to a T..LOL

3:19 am

J. C.

Ah. Well this person may be a relative?

3:19 am

J. C.

You should hope not, though.

3:19 am

m9f9l

:-)

3:19 am

flosey

JC, how did the show go?

3:20 am

m9f9l

speaking of relatives.. I hear you "met" hewho.

3:20 am

J. C.

Very well, thanks...

3:20 am

J. C.

Ah. Yes. Very peculiar...

3:20 am

flosey

m9f9l

3:21 am

Soodlebum

Morning everybody. Happy All Saints Day.

3:21 am

m9f9l

he says "and just which of your friends is Julian?"

3:22 am

m9f9l

that was actually quite social for him!LOL

3:22 am

m9f9l

and he'd be mad about me saying that much about him.. So I'll stop now.

3:22 am

fuquayvarina

Good morning, babblers. Long time no see.

3:23 am

m9f9l

woah.. humongous icon fuq!

3:23 am

m9f9l

and good morning

3:23 am

Christine

Hello, Soodlebum and fuquayvarina

3:23 am

fuquayvarina

oops, sorry, let me fix that.

3:24 am

rubyfoo

{{soodle}} is it as big a holiday there as here? Everybody takes chrysanthemums to the graves

3:24 am

FishFishGarden

aahhh...clocks went back at the weekend in the UK, right?

3:24 am

J. C.

Hmmm. In that case presume a repeat what I just said, m9. :P Morning, Soodlebum.

3:24 am

Christine

That icon took over all the laptop screen, and half the hallway.

3:25 am

J. C.

Yes, Fish.

3:25 am

Soodlebum

Hiya Rubes. Nope - its a normal working day :-(.

3:25 am

J. C.

Where are you then?

3:25 am

rubyfoo

here, the children have been off school since last week

3:25 am

FishFishGarden

In Israel at the mo visiting the kids....and trying to complete a house sale on the phone

3:25 am

m9f9l

oh.. clocks!

3:26 am

J. C.

Ah, I see!

3:26 am

Soodlebum

Yup - my lot were all off last week, but its business as usual again. I enjoyed the extra hour in bed though!

3:27 am

rubyfoo

and no trick-or-treaters

3:28 am

Soodlebum

Flippit - I better change my icon.... I am quite fond of being a witch :-)

3:30 am

fuquayvarina

OK, icon should be better now. Sorry.

3:31 am

m9f9l

yup. much better.

3:31 am

J. C.

Ah yes - very pretty, fuquay. :)

3:31 am

J. C.

I'm seeing a flower?

3:31 am

rubyfoo

just came to a grinding halt after a quick 121 words

3:32 am

m9f9l

oh yeah.. Monday is flowers.. or pets...?

3:32 am

fuquayvarina

yes, it's a lily, photographed this summer in the blue ridge mountains. I have no idea what the theme is, just like the photo.

3:32 am

J. C.

It is a lovely shot...

3:32 am

J. C.

Today is pets?

3:33 am

J. C.

I can do that...

3:33 am

J. C.

Dogs, iphone...

3:38 am

m9f9l

apparently smoked salmon is the theme. I think you better stick with your dogs!LOL

3:38 am

m9f9l

or just keep the pic you have.... I LOVE it!!

3:38 am

J. C.

Oh good god. :(

3:38 am

J. C.

Definitely not doing that, no.

3:39 am

J. C.

Think I will. It's quite typical of me. :P

3:39 am

m9f9l

are you actually singing??

3:39 am

fuquayvarina

well at least I got the color right, sort of

3:39 am

J. C.

No! Just goofing around...

3:40 am

rubyfoo

yay, half, now I can get dressed!

3:40 am

rubyfoo

see you later *poof*

3:41 am

fuquayvarina

time for a little breakfast, bbl if I can

3:43 am

FishFishGarden

what sort of dictionary doesn't allow 'scrote'?! C'mon now....

3:44 am

J. C.

HAHAHA!

3:44 am

m9f9l

how 'bout scrotette?

3:45 am

J. C.

You just about made coffee come out of my nose then. Never mind. Wouldn't doubt I've caused that to happen to someone before now. :P

3:45 am

FishFishGarden

the f. diminuitive of scrote.....

3:45 am

J. C.

(Shakes head).

3:47 am

m9f9l

hey! I'm ready to try anything with this grid! grrrr...

3:47 am

FishFishGarden

I'll be getting complaints again

3:47 am

J. C.

Well I'm surprised I haven't had any, Fish...

3:48 am

J. C.

How many words now, m9? I only have 156 - 120 left.

3:49 am

FishFishGarden

sanp - 120 to go

3:49 am

FishFishGarden

snap even

3:49 am

J. C.

Feel as if I've hit that big wall now. I am hesitant to list, being sure that once I do I will see obvious words I'll want to slap myself for not finding yet!

3:50 am

m9f9l

it's going very slowly!! still 165 to go!

3:51 am

Soodlebum

There is a 10 letter word in the grid. I just found it. Licketys list took it, but its not showing up in my word list.....strange....

3:52 am

FishFishGarden

it's not scrotettes is it?

3:52 am

J. C.

:P

3:52 am

J. C.

I snorted that time.

3:52 am

Soodlebum

LMAO. No, fish. Its not scrotettes.

3:54 am

m9f9l

they couldn't have put one of those s's next to one of those t's????

3:54 am

dizgrannie

Soodle the 2nd ho 9 and 10 in Lickety's are 2 extra words.

3:55 am

Soodlebum

Yep - I just noticed that Diz. Very strange.

3:55 am

dizgrannie

3:56 am

m9f9l

m9f9l

but I still can't list...

4:14 am

dizgrannie

m9, when you list, Lickety has Ho 9/10 that aint here ...ie; 2 extra words

4:17 am

m9f9l

k

4:18 am

Haz1558

Somebody had better let him know what they are so that he can adjust the programme. If extra words are thrown up, he has to manually readjust things otherwise the list isn't produced on subsequent days.

4:19 am

dizgrannie

how does one do that, Haz???

4:20 am

Haz1558

I think just by e-mailing and letting him know what the two words are that appear on his list but aren't accepted by Dr-G's word list.

4:20 am

lynxxx

morning Haz

4:21 am

Haz1558

Good evening lynxxx, good morning/evening all.

4:25 am

Haz1558

This seems to be a very obliging grid so far.

4:25 am

lynxxx

a bit too obliging, goes very fast

4:26 am

lynxxx

BBL time to do dinner

4:26 am

Haz1558

Bye, lynxxx, see you later.

4:35 am

jmcnrick

hi all

4:35 am

Haz1558

Hello, jmc.

4:37 am

dizgrannie

grrrrr 31 left and just realised all R's and T's...grrr

4:38 am

jmcnrick

not a surprise that they are with this grid

4:39 am

gran

How many words today please

4:39 am

Haz1558

276

4:39 am

gran

Thanks

4:39 am

jmcnrick

wondering why there is a helicopter making passes over my house

4:39 am

Haz1558

You're welcome, gran.

4:40 am

Haz1558

Press photographers? What have you been up to, jmc?

4:40 am

jmcnrick

I am innocent I tell you!

4:40 am

Haz1558

They all say that.

4:41 am

jmcnrick

*hides beneath table*

4:41 am

Haz1558

They'll have that heat seeking equipment.

4:42 am

jmcnrick

*runs and grabs ice from freezer*

4:42 am

Buttonman

evening all

4:42 am

jmcnrick

hi button

4:42 am

Haz1558

Hello, Buttonman.

4:42 am

dizgrannie

jmc...are you a secreted axe murderer???? LOL

4:43 am

jmcnrick

shhhh don't tell anyone

4:43 am

Haz1558

She'll plead the Fifth.

4:43 am

dizgrannie

shyte, just gave a clue.

4:43 am

jmcnrick

they are finally gone and ty

4:44 am

dizgrannie

gawd they didn't get ya...or they gave up...LOL

4:44 am

jmcnrick

i think the ice turned the trick

4:44 am

Buttonman

hi Haz,jmc...got a question. I have a ho 9 & 10 that lickety's Babble clues will take but the grid will not take. never had that happen before. What is up?

4:45 am

jmcnrick

every once in a while lickety gives an extra word or in this case two

4:45 am

Haz1558

Buttonman, it has happened before. The problem is that LIckety uses a slightly different version of the Enable dictionary, so occasionally it throws up words that it recognises, but that Dr-G's version doesn't. Just disregard those words, they get you no points.

4:47 am

Buttonman

what a bummer....the two words I got, 150 points but no credit

4:48 am

Buttonman

thanks for the information.

4:48 am

Haz1558

I know, but nobody else gets them either so we're all in the same boat!

4:50 am

Sally-catlover

Good morning everyone. Yay! Half-way so will allow myself to chat!

4:50 am

jmcnrick

hi sally

4:50 am

Haz1558

Good morning, Sally.

4:51 am

Sally-catlover

Lovely grid so far.

4:51 am

jmcnrick

rats it is suppose to freeze tonight and i will have to bring in all of my plants

4:51 am

Haz1558

It's great, definitely one that flows.

4:52 am

Haz1558

Are there lots to bring in, jmc?

4:52 am

jmcnrick

several of them are really heavy

4:52 am

jmcnrick

i put them all in my downstairs shower for the winter

4:53 am

redturtlehead

Good morning, just on my way to work, but 36 words in this grid, is much more user friendly than yesterdays!!!

4:53 am

jmcnrick

at least they are easy to water that way!

4:53 am

jmcnrick

hi red

4:53 am

redturtlehead

jmc you are up early...

4:53 am

Haz1558

Hello, red, it's a nice grid, you'll be tempted to stay to find more.

4:54 am

jmcnrick

couldn't sleep

4:54 am

redturtlehead

I am always tempted to not go to work. It's a pesky thing this dependence on Money earned.

4:54 am

Haz1558

It's hard to sleep when you're being hounded by helicopters.

4:54 am

jmcnrick

afraid i was awake before they came

4:54 am

redturtlehead

Morningto haz and JMC.

4:55 am

Haz1558

Oh dear. Lots of babblers seem to have sleep problems.

4:56 am

jmcnrick

not generally for me -- went to bed early so i would be able to got work the election protection hotline tomorrow

4:57 am

Haz1558

Election protection rhymes nicely.

4:57 am

jmcnrick

yes and i have a nice time doing it each time

4:57 am

redturtlehead

I can not wait to vote tomorrow, my only issue is with our race for the senate JMC. its very confusing...I like Kendrick Meek, but he won't carry the vote, and I do not like Rubio, who is an Ass, or that insane Scott (who is running for Govoner)

4:58 am

jmcnrick

vote for the people who will do a good job

4:58 am

Haz1558

Protecting the voters rather than the politicians? I can't see you as a trench-coated, shade wearing heavy talking up your sleeve.

4:59 am

jmcnrick

the polls are likely to be especially inaacurate this time as they only use landlines

4:59 am

redturtlehead

I think my concern is that Charlie Crist, is someone who might do a good job, but not so sure..

4:59 am

jmcnrick

yes -- trying to make sure every vote counts

5:00 am

jmcnrick

so tell people where there polls are and what to take with them

5:00 am

jmcnrick

trying to spot places where there is intimidation going on

5:00 am

redturtlehead

So far in Orange county interesting fact here...More Democrats have voted than Republicans, which is a positive thing in our state, but..

5:01 am

redturtlehead

Intimidation? WOw, this might be an interesting voting day.

5:02 am

jmcnrick

i have yet to see an election where nothing happens red -- it just doesn't generally make the news

5:02 am

redturtlehead

I think that is true jmc. A lot goes on that we are unaware of...I remember even al the problems with voting machines in certain areas etc..

5:02 am

jmcnrick

6 years ago I was in Philly and one of the polls was in a guys home and he asked who you were voting for before he would let you in

5:03 am

jmcnrick

we had to send the police to that one

5:03 am

redturtlehead

WOw!

5:04 am

redturtlehead

Ahhh, Haz you were so right! I do want to stay and find more, btu I have to make lunch and go to work.

5:04 am

jmcnrick

and there is reason to believe there will be some *ahem* people who will be steering voters to the wrong poll and thus disenfranching them this time

5:04 am

redturtlehead

Enjoy your day ladies and protect our voting rights JMC!!!! You are Awesome!

5:04 am

jmcnrick

bye red

5:04 am

jmcnrick

have a good day

5:04 am

Haz1558

That's self-discipline, red. Enjoy your day.

5:04 am

jmcnrick

Haz1558

Good morning, FM. How are you?

zoozzoom

Hello, Haz, FM

Haz1558

Hello, zooz.

6:42 am

FMitch

Fine, a bit cottonwooly today, took ages to get to sleep and then slept too long.

Morning zooz!

6:43 am

zoozzoom

How are you, Haz?

6:43 am

Haz1558

I'm fine. I'm taking a break to see if I can get more words from this. It's a fun grid.

6:44 am

FMitch

mm not long started and the t words are still flowing but will have to do a walk into the village in a while.

6:45 am

FMitch

How are you zooz?

6:45 am

zoozzoom

I am recovering from a cold...lol..as you know colds on a man = flu

6:45 am

FMitch

LOL poor you ;)

6:46 am

Haz1558

Colds can be nasty as well. We'll sympathise.

6:46 am

FMitch

for 5 or 10 mins max

6:46 am

zoozzoom

Thank-you...Achooooo

6:47 am

Haz1558

I said we'd sympathise, I didn't say we wanted to share.

6:47 am

FMitch

oh great, spread your germs why don't you!

6:47 am

FMitch

lol

6:47 am

Haz1558

See how long our sympathy lasts?

6:48 am

zoozzoom

LOL, sorry..i did sneeze into a tissue :-)

6:48 am

Haz1558

Kleenex Balsam, I hope? No other tissue is as kind.

6:49 am

zoozzoom

Yes, thats the ones i use :-)

6:49 am

Haz1558

(Worldwide representative for Kleenex Balsam along with Ata)

6:49 am

FMitch

Don't tell me you are on commission for them too?

6:49 am

Haz1558

My people are in negotiation with their people.

6:49 am

zoozzoom

Yuo know, Haz, likes to have fingers in all the pies!

6:50 am

zoozzoom

you*

6:50 am

Haz1558

Yes, indeed. I see it as a favour to mankind.

6:50 am

zoozzoom

FMitch

brb

6:51 am

Haz1558

Some people spend their lives doing reviews on youtube for things, I just give glowing reports here instead.

6:52 am

zoozzoom

the best place, Haz, all the influential people Babble.

6:52 am

FMitch

so many venture capitalists play babble, you would not believe it.

6:53 am

zoozzoom

I hate it when i forget to use a capital letter at the start of my sentence. Damn

6:53 am

Haz1558

We'll forgive you, zooz, the cold is obviously affecting your fingers.

6:54 am

zoozzoom

And my poor only brain cell..lol

6:55 am

FMitch

Oh lordy I have just noticed how many c and r words there are.

6:56 am

Haz1558

Yes, but there are very few peculiar words so far, the problem is remembering to put the right endings on.

6:56 am

zoozzoom

Yes, i am trying to churn up the `C` wrods in the grid, at this moment.

6:56 am

zoozzoom

words*

6:56 am

FMitch

Thank heavens there is no d in the grid otherwise it would be twice the size.

6:57 am

FMitch

I am doing my usual working backwards and just about to start the s's. Once I have got as many of those as I can I will do my errands.

6:58 am

zoozzoom

I bought a book the other day called` My Grammar and I (or should that be `Me`?) by Caroline Taggart. Not working on me so far..lol

6:59 am

FMitch

Love the title.

6:59 am

Haz1558

I've seen it in bookshops, zooz. Is it too dry?

7:00 am

zoozzoom

To be honest, Haz, you would not need it.

7:00 am

Haz1558

So, not one for the Christmas wish list?

7:02 am

zoozzoom

I like it, but i need it..lol

7:03 am

Haz1558

You're not the worst, I'm sure, zooz.

7:04 am

FMitch

hear hear!

7:04 am

zoozzoom

Thanks, But i could do a lot better i`m sure.

7:06 am

FMitch

Likewise :)

7:06 am

gran

I have 276 on Babble and 278 on Lickety - who's right?

7:06 am

Haz1558

Babble is always right, gran. Well done!

7:07 am

FMitch

Babble is always right gran, Licket sometimes gets an extra word or two.

7:07 am

gran

Thanks Haz

7:07 am

zoozzoom

WTG Gran!

7:07 am

Haz1558

Lickety uses a different version of the dictionary and sometimes gets an extra word or two.

7:08 am

zoozzoom

I also bought `Spilling the Beans on the Cat`s Pyjamas` Popular Expressions-What They Mean and Where we Got Them.

7:09 am

Haz1558

It's interesting to see where old expressions come from, isn't it? So which cat owned the pyjamas?

7:10 am

FMitch

OK ground to a halt on the s's so will go and do stuff. Enjoyed the chat and catch up later I hope.

7:10 am

zoozzoom

That one started in America in the 1920s mean, Top-notch.

7:10 am

Take care, FM :-)

7:11 am

Kaplan the Magne

Fuckin'awesom, dude I think came much later.

7:12 am

Haz1558

Can you watch the language, Kaplan. Not really ideal for a public chat log.

7:12 am

Kaplan the Magne

OOps- sorry.

7:12 am

Haz1558

Thanks.

7:13 am

Kaplan the Magne

"I just read it in a public book.

7:14 am

Haz1558

I'm not going to start debating or trying to be clever. I just don't want to read that sort of language here, thanks.

7:15 am

Kaplan the Magne

Sorry again- I wasn't debating. Just wasn't aware of that particular "group norm."

Good morning/day to all!

7:24 am

rubyfoo

hello scrabbler! how are you?

7:24 am

Mom

Good morning, Scrabbler

7:24 am

Haz1558

Hello, Scrabbler.

7:24 am

Scrabbler

Just arrived at the Indian Reservation Health Ctr and waiting for first kiddo to arrive.

7:26 am

rubyfoo

are the Indians distrustful of innoculations for the children?

7:27 am

Scrabbler

Nope, I know of only 1 mother that has refused them. The Amish refuse vaccines though, and many Amish folks live around here.

7:28 am

rubyfoo

that is interesting to me. I worked with several Jehovah's Witnesses and they were pretty strange on that subject. But, unfortunately, I agree with them about transfusions

7:29 am

Scrabbler

Yes, JW do not want blood products given, although docs get a court order to save a kid's life, when necessary.

7:31 am

Trifioso

hey friends, halloween ended up being much more trick than treat around here. yuckj

7:31 am

Haz1558

Hello, Trif.

7:32 am

Scrabbler

Hi Trif! Yes, I had kids run across my front yard and knock on the front windows to "scare" me.

7:32 am

JBV

good morning folks, Hi Trif - what happened?

7:32 am

rubyfoo

we didn't even have one trick-or-treater

7:32 am

Trifioso

Scrabbler, you might find this interesting - secondo was walking along with a group of friends, and some one was taking pot shots at them from the woods, as she got hit in the forehead. Gushing blood and an ER trip later, all is fine, but it was a scary ass night

7:32 am

rubyfoo

that is horrible trif!

7:32 am

Trifioso

they think it was a pellet or bb gun, not a .22 or something, thank god in heaven

7:33 am

JBV

oh no! how terrible!

7:33 am

Scrabbler

With BBs? DANGEROUS! There could have been eye damage!

7:33 am

Scrabbler

Police are involved, I presume.

7:33 am

Trifioso

she is pretty rattled, but on the whole, we were way lucky. foreheads are nice hard bones. if it was her eye, or the corner of her lip, or her neck - not so much

7:33 am

Scrabbler

Buon giorno, amica JBV!

7:34 am

rubyfoo

hello JBV

7:34 am

Haz1558

That's awful, Trif. I hope she make a full recovery and the people who did it realise how foolish they've been.

7:34 am

JBV

Buon giorno, Bonjour!

7:34 am

Trifioso

police have not been involved as yet, as we have no actual forensic evidence (metal shards in wound site were insignficant enough to not be of use). I may go back today and see if I can find some bbs or pellets on the ground. that would change things up

7:34 am

rubyfoo

are the police looking for the culprits?

7:35 am

Trifioso

we'll always remember this halloween, anyway.

7:36 am

Scrabbler

Halloween is a reason for everyday ghouls to cause more trouble.

7:36 am

car.eeyore

Good morning Darling. How is my baby?

7:36 am

Scrabbler

Hi Car

7:36 am

Trifioso

hey sweetie girl! She is resting. I sure didn't. I basically watched her sleep all night.

7:37 am

Scrabbler

Were sutures needed?

7:37 am

rubyfoo

hello car

7:37 am

Trifioso

btw, mom is on her way home, then to the gym, then to pick up her rx

7:37 am

car.eeyore

someone else is also very wound up....

7:38 am

Trifioso

no, they left it open scrabbler. The skin over the puncture is completely gone, and they wanted to avoid a nice big sc4, so they are leaving it. It's more a puncture/graze sort of thing, really

7:39 am

Trifioso

is she able to hold on to the basic arc of the tale, car?

7:40 am

car.eeyore

Yes. It is her schedule today that is changing every 2 seconds. I told her to sit down and relax for a bit and then plan out her day.

7:40 am

rubyfoo

yours is a lovely profile Trif, AMEN sister!

7:42 am

car.eeyore

And good morning all my babble friends! I am sorry I am a bit distracted!

7:42 am

Scrabbler

Aha, first patient has finally arrived. I will be in & out of here all day.

7:42 am

Haz1558

See you later, Scrabbler. I must go as well. Enjoy the grid, it's delightful. Bye!

7:55 am

all Souls' Day. Everybody puts flowers on and tends to the graves of family members. It is really quite lovely

7:56 am

NonoNanette

Trif how scarey you night must have been! hope your daughter heals well and doesnt suffer any mental anguish from the incident

7:56 am

Trifioso

wait a sec car -- did you just say mom is telling the little kids what happened? as in "your cousin got shot in the head????"

7:56 am

Trifioso

thanks nono.

7:56 am

rubyfoo

hello hello no no

7:56 am

Mom

ah, today is all Saint's day

7:56 am

car.eeyore

No, I thought she was telling them, but she did not.

7:57 am

rubyfoo

I always get the two mixed up! duh

7:57 am

Trifioso

phew.

7:57 am

crosshair

who got shot?

7:57 am

car.eeyore

Zach and Dylan know though...I told them last night and we talked about it.

7:58 am

car.eeyore

The bacon delivery man, crossy!

7:58 am

Trifioso

secondo did. are they okay with the news, car?

7:58 am

Mom

Trif, So sorry this happened to your little one.

7:58 am

crosshair

hold ion while i read back...

7:58 am

Mom

time to start my ch 6/24, see everyone later today

7:58 am

Trifioso

secondo got shot crossy. she was out trick or treating with friends,

7:58 am

car.eeyore

Yes, they are OK. That is why I told them and talked to them about it...so they would understand what happened.

7:59 am

rubyfoo

7:59 am

crosshair

i am guessing it was idiots with a bb gun or you would be at the hospital now.i hope they catch the idiots

7:59 am

NonoNanette

bye ((Mom))

8:00 am

Trifioso

it was idiots, we were at the hospital, and she is okay now

8:00 am

Mom

((Ruby and Nono)) enjoy you day

8:00 am

Anniebrook

bye (((Mom))) have a great day

8:00 am

crosshair

that is good,now if they can nab the kids who did this

8:00 am

car.eeyore

Is she up yet Trif?

8:01 am

Trifioso

no. i keep obsessively checking on her

8:01 am

car.eeyore

Just wondering emotionally how she will be today.

8:01 am

crosshair

how old is she

8:02 am

Trifioso

14

8:02 am

car.eeyore

...which is frightening in itself!!!

8:02 am

crosshair

will be a big scare,but hopefully she is not traumatized over this

8:03 am

rubyfoo

*poof* for now

8:03 am

NonoNanette

bye ruby

8:03 am

Bye Ruby!

bye bye ruby

8:03 am

car.eeyore

Bye mom!

8:05 am

car.eeyore

Oh my! I have 8/14 8's!!!!

8:05 am

car.eeyore

I should not pay attention more often!

8:07 am

Trifioso

"the father" just called - def thinks we should follow up with los hombres. I am starting to agree

8:08 am

NonoNanette

absolutely Trif

8:08 am

car.eeyore

Follow up, but the chances of any information will be slim.

8:08 am

car.eeyore

However, there is probably a lot of "talk" amongst the yewts and you may find out who did it.

8:08 am

Trifioso

yes, that was my thought also, car

8:09 am

MollyL

Trif, I'm so sorry about what happened to your girl. I'm glad she is okay.

8:09 am

car.eeyore

Good grief! Just realized sh4 is in the grid! We are all heading to the PB today!

8:10 am

MollyL

I was waiting for someone to notice that. : D There is coffee and danish in the PB.

8:11 am

Trifioso

I realized it too, but decided I didn't ca4. surely we could make an exception?

8:11 am

NonoNanette

under the circumstances Trif I think so

8:11 am

car.eeyore

[[filling up my cup and noshing right now}}

8:12 am

Trifioso

car - go to the police station or call the police station?

8:12 am

NonoNanette

and bye the way, i didnt have that word yet :(

8:12 am

car.eeyore

Yeah, Trif...the best bet is going to be the gossip route. Kids cannot keep their mouths shut. But DO tell the police as well.

8:12 am

car.eeyore

GO to the station...with secundo.

8:13 am

Trifioso

yes. you are right

8:13 am

car.eeyore

Visual aids work wonders.

8:13 am

car.eeyore

You want me to pick up tertiare today?

8:14 am

Scrabbler

I agree--the offender(s) need to know this too, via gossip or questioning of neighborhood kids by police. The offender(s) needs to be made afraid of being caught.

8:14 am

Trifioso

no, but thanks, I think it ought to be me. I have not seen her since last night and she might be a bit twisted

8:14 am

Trifioso

good point, scrabbler!

8:16 am

trentsnana

over half way....

8:16 am

trentsnana

big board today

8:17 am

Trifioso

i guess i am just most afraid of a) this becoming some HUGE deal in this teeny town of ours or b) looking like an idiot == we can't PROVE anything here - even the hospital would only say it was "consistent" with a bb or pellet wound, not a "definite" one. They said her injury was caused by a sharp piece of metal travelling very quickly, but without actual proof, what do I have?

8:18 am

Scrabbler

It is a big deal--imagine eye trauma leading to loss of vision.

8:18 am

bonkler

you should have some witnesses, no? and did any of them hear the pop of the weapon?

8:19 am

Trifioso

some kids heard the sound of a mailbox getting hit. but no one SAW anything

8:19 am

bonkler

and even without proof, the police will surely want to know if there is someone brazen and stupid enough to open fire on kids at halloween. that is the sort of behaviour that they are keen to not see escalate

8:20 am

NonoNanette

i would certainly think so bonker

8:20 am

car.eeyore

Trif....take her to the police station, file a report. They will do the follow up. #1 & #3 will most likely hear bits and pieces around the school. Pass those onto the police as well. Let them do the follow up. It will be coming from them, not you. Appropriate action needs to be taken. For her sake...she needs to know that something is being done about it. And BELIEVE me...someone knows EXACTLY who had the gun out last night.

8:21 am

bonkler

the other option, should the officials seem reticent, is to suggest going to the media. other parents will definitely want to know if someone is taking potshots at kids

8:21 am

Trifioso

except what if it wasnt' a gun, and I file a report based on what might be true, and it turns out to be not true?

8:22 am

car.eeyore

Oh well then. It needs to be followed up. you are giving the police the information that was passed onto you by the PROFESSIONALS at the hospital.

8:22 am

bonkler

it might be a slingshot. in any case, it is a very real concern that someone is aiming a dangerous projectile weapon at kids

8:23 am

Trifioso

that is the very thing though - the professionals would not say. if the police ask the doctor or nurse about it, they are sure to say "we never said it was a gunshot!"

8:23 am

car.eeyore

And the other thing, Trif....get some rest today. Right now you are wired, tired and upset. When she is up, make the report at the police station, but then just lay low for the day. You both will need it.

8:23 am

Trifioso

hang on - THAT is an excellent point, bonkler!

8:23 am

NonoNanette

even if not aiming at the kids, being halloween night there were certainly plenty of children out and about

8:24 am

car.eeyore

This isn't a court case Trif. Just pass on the information that was given to you. You are not filing false information...just the information you were provided with.

8:24 am

Trifioso

thanks car. right now I couldn't sleep if i drank a whole bottle of nyquil. wish she would get up. then we could just go and file the report already

8:24 am

car.eeyore

Take it a step at a time Trif. Why don't you rest now while she is sleeping. You don't have to sleep...just rest.

8:25 am

Scrabbler

Back again. Even if a gun was not used, some small missile was launched under dangerous conditions--at a person.

8:25 am

Trifioso

i would rather hang out with you all, but i promise, I will only discuss rainbows and sparkly things for the rest of the morning, no more dramz!

8:25 am

car.eeyore

A step at a time....

8:26 am

car.eeyore

When one is this tired, things can snowball out of proportion very quickly. Stop thinking of all the what ifs. Just deal with what is right in front of you at this moment. Take a step at a time....

8:27 am

car.eeyore

phantom: churro...now I want mexican food.

8:28 am

car.eeyore

Hey...has anyone heard from Eva? Just wondering how her wedding was.

8:29 am

8:30 am

Scrabbler

Grrr, Facebook is now blocked here at the Indian Reservation Health Ctr.

8:30 am

Riverdance

Hello Everyone

8:30 am

car.eeyore

bastards!

8:30 am

Riverdance

How dare they!

8:31 am

JBV

scrabs, you might laugh at this - I just had to explain "interns" and "residents" to someone on the Italian forum - they don't have the same system there so it was a little difficult

8:31 am

Riverdance

well at least they didnt block babble...

8:31 am

Scrabbler

Yes, I just want to play my words in Scrabble. Grrr.

8:31 am

car.eeyore

OOOOH! Grayed the center E!!!!!!

8:31 am

NonoNanette

i can understand their blocking facebook, there are way too many privacy issues and other things going on there

8:32 am

Scrabbler

Aha, JBV. Intern = primo anno. Residency = tre o quattro o cinque anni

8:32 am

Mr Bob

Morning folks

8:32 am

Riverdance

good morning Mr Bob

8:32 am

Trifioso

iam already on the phone brb

8:32 am

Scrabbler

The "Forti-Guard" lists it as violating "personal relationship" guidelines.

8:32 am

JBV

yes, but their preliminary medical education is different- I don't think they do 4 yrs undergrad + 4 yrs medical

8:32 am

Scrabbler

Hi Bob

8:32 am

car.eeyore

It was me...sorry.

8:33 am

Scrabbler

I think that Europeans enter med school earlier, yes, and the admission process is not as rigorous, although the training is.

8:34 am

Scrabbler

Some Americans go to Italian med schools.

8:35 am

JBV

that must be difficult if you don't speak Italian? :)

8:35 am

Scrabbler

For someone that already knows Italian. I know a guy that did that.

8:35 am

JBV

interesting

8:36 am

FishFishGarden

UK is 5 years academic/ 2 years residential

8:36 am

car.eeyore

May I please have a clue for the S in the right column?

8:36 am

FishFishGarden

entry to all universities in UK is at 17, although for med school likely you'd have to do extra elective year to get the grades

8:36 am

Scrabbler

Usually the Americans that do not gain admission to American med schools go to one of 2 English language med schools in the Carribbean.

8:37 am

Scrabbler

TY, Fish.

hi ruby just got in from work n40 left to go

10:54 am

rubyfoo

hello bethn

10:54 am

bethn

always wanted to ask you, how did you end up in france?

10:55 am

rubyfoo

that is a big question. Always wanted to live here, since my first trip in 1964

10:55 am

rubyfoo

and finally did it with this husband....

10:56 am

rubyfoo

I love the country and the language but, unfortunately, wound up in an area with bad food

10:56 am

bethn

bad food in FRANCE??????

10:57 am

rubyfoo

this area, in the foothills of the Alps, soaks everything in cheese

10:57 am

rubyfoo

and there is no good seafood

10:58 am

bethn

i like cheese and cant eat seafood (allergies) i might be very content there

10:59 am

bethn

never been to france St. barths is the closest I've come most of the food there is heaven, although you do get the occasional culinary failure

10:59 am

rubyfoo

you might be happy here. Do you have Google Earth? Look up Annecy and Veyrier du Lac and you will see how beautiful it is

10:59 am

bethn

i will check it out

11:00 am

bethn

did you find it welcoming as an american?

11:00 am

bichon

Hi ruby

11:01 am

rubyfoo

surprisingly, in our tiny village, the people are wonderful. It would be a disaster, though, is I didn't speak the language

11:01 am

rubyfoo

hello bichon

11:01 am

bethn

how is your husband doing?

11:01 am

rubyfoo

if* not is

11:02 am

bethn

i got it :) we all translate typos well here

11:02 am

rubyfoo

badly and we go to court on Friday. I am happy with our lawyer, who seems to have made a very good and thorough case for us.

11:03 am

bethn

i feel so badly for him (and you)

11:03 am

rubyfoo

it has been horrible for him

11:03 am

rubyfoo

and they haven't put the dog down

11:03 am

bethn

how could they not?

11:04 am

rubyfoo

this is definitely a strange place! I think you could commit a murder here and not go to jail

11:04 am

rubyfoo

hopefully, after the hearing, the judge will order the dog put down

11:04 am

joey

can someone help me with the te6/18 before the te 4/4 which is a number? thanks

11:05 am

bethn

the owner has no clout politically does he?

11:05 am

bethn

the first half of a playground equipment piece joey?

11:06 am

rubyfoo

he may have, as his is an old family here. Fortunately, I have very good testimonies from a lot of different sources and, after all, my husband didn't bite the dog!

11:06 am

bethn

the other half is in the grid as well

11:06 am

joey

thanks, I appreciate the help bethn

11:06 am

bethn

no problem, happy to help

11:07 am

he did, however, smack it in the mouth after the second attack!

11:08 am

bethn

too bad he wasn't holding a brick at the time

11:09 am

rubyfoo

when he goes for a walk now, he carries a knife although I don't think it would have done him any good

11:11 am

bethn

I'm glad it hasn't made him house bound

11:12 am

rubyfoo

then I would probably bite him!

11:13 am

bethn

you could go out for a pack of gauloise and never come home

11:13 am

ardilla

spain, been here for little over 2 weeks

12:07 pm

periwinkle

and I was so pleased with myself for finding them

12:07 pm

bethn

i think our version of enable considers them as 2 separate

12:07 pm

Scrabbler

I suspect the unaccepted ho9/10 should be 2 separate words

12:07 pm

bethn

w ords

12:07 pm

Scrabbler

We are all pleased with you, Peri!

12:08 pm

cybernan

I believe the one we think should be a 9-10 is actually 2 words whereas the similar 8-9 combo is not

12:08 pm

periwinkle

maybe but there have been words accepted that I know are two words or at least hyphenated

12:08 pm

periwinkle

thanks Scrabs :)

"I don't care who anybody sleeps with," "If a couple has been together all that time - and there are gay relationships that are more solid than some heterosexual ones - I think it's fine if they want to get married. I don't know how people can get so anti-something. Mind your own business, take care of your affairs, and don't worry about other people so much."

gapeach1066@yaho

Yes, thanks m'dear.

11:19 pm

dianedecoder

there were some nice words in this grid.... and I'm beginning to think like a "babbler" !! My years of crosswords and word games has helped, but this is still a wee bit different... many archaic and foreign words :-))

11:20 pm

gapeach1066@yaho

It went really quickly last night....only had 50 or so for tonight. It DID NOT go quickly tonight. Thanks again.

11:20 pm

bethn

i wish the flip was EST. i played last nitefor 45 min and knocked out 200+ words but it is too late for me when i have to get up and go to work

11:20 pm

dianedecoder

early morning tomorrow... another checkup on hubby's repaired retina.... it's been a little touch and go, but the repair "took" and now he's on the mend !!

11:21 pm

bethn

the longer you play, the more words are readily visible, but there are still a zillion that elude me

11:21 pm

dianedecoder

I am MST.... and don't often wait for the flip. I know I won't be tonight !

11:21 pm

bethn

OH! I am so glad to hear that diane. I will send good thoughts your way

11:22 pm

gapeach1066@yaho

Diane, a lot of it is being in such good company. I've been on at night and started feeling funny...asked if there were doctors or nurses on....right away someone came on....and I wound up in ER....there's always someone here for us. Glad you are in the crowd.

11:22 pm

dianedecoder

thanks so much ! It was a little scary at first, and he still can't see past the gas bubble they put in there to hold things in place, but it will dissipate.

11:23 pm

bethn

to have severe eye problems is very scary. He ( and you) must have been a wreck

11:23 pm

dianedecoder

oh my.... how fortunate. They "read" your symptoms and got you moving... so special !!

11:24 pm

bethn

there are some wonderful people on here

11:24 pm

gapeach1066@yaho

Diane, I missed part of your conversation...do I need to pray and send energy to you or your family?

11:24 pm

dianedecoder

well, I stay pretty calm, but he was a little frightened. This procedure has only been used for about 5 years.... thank goodness for research

11:25 pm

dianedecoder

sweet of you ga.... but everything is looking great... except the "eye" in question, and it will be fine. He is very healthy otherwise.

11:26 pm

bethn

when the medical system works it can do miraculous things. My godson is in training to be an opthamologist. We are very proud

11:26 pm

gapeach1066@yaho

OK. If ever you need me...just ask.

11:26 pm

gapeach1066@yaho

I'm sure you are bethn.

11:26 pm
