mab
i mean shoah was what, eight hours?
12:53 am
cosdem
it was not 100% factually accurate.
12:54 am

jillibus
I don't have a dvr
12:54 am
mab
i don't have a tv
12:54 am

Well, as I was saying...my uncle was married to a McCoy ( she was the only one in the family that had good sense). I remember her mother (gosh she would be way over 100 years old now). It seems that a Mr. Patton went to the hills and got himslef a bride....they had a passle (sp) of kids. I don't remeber hearing if they ever went back up into the hills. Actually, it wasn't quite safe then.

5:54 am
rubyfoo
bonjour une!
5:55 am
Uneaixoise
salut, ruby! :-)
5:55 am
rubyfoo
that I bought in 1975!
5:55 am
Uneaixoise
oh no! sorry, ruby!
5:56 am
rubyfoo
I collect blue and whie dishes and pottery and, if you can believe it, I've saved everything I've broken over the years with hopes of making a Gaudi-esque bench before I die!
5:56 am
rubyfoo
so it's never a total loss
5:57 am
rubyfoo
have been shlepping shards around through many moves!
6:04 am
Uneaixoise
how very creative!! :-)
6:05 am
rubyfoo
have you been to Barcelona?
6:05 am
Uneaixoise
am familiar with "Gaudi-esque" :-)
6:05 am
rubyfoo
so you know what I mean about the mosaic!
6:05 am
rubyfoo
my husband never "got it"
6:05 am
Uneaixoise
indeed!:-)
6:06 am
rubyfoo
the problem is finding a plain cement bench to cover with my stuff....
6:06 am
rubyfoo
I have just the spot for it in the garden but soon I'll be too old to do it.... :(
6:07 am
Uneaixoise
landscaper's supply store?
6:07 am
rubyfoo
I have tried every place
6:07 am
rubyfoo
everybody is too fancy to want a plain cement bench!
6:08 am
rubyfoo
it is wonderful here now, nice and hot -- much needed after the rainy April and May
6:08 am
rubyfoo
and flowers!!!!
6:09 am
Uneaixoise
lots of roses about now, I'll bet, eh?
6:10 am
rubyfoo
many many. and everything is in flower at the same time because of the strange weather so there are roses, peonies, iris, campanula, geraniums (an annual cheat), allium, chives (in flower), pellargonium and many whose names I don't remember
6:11 am
rubyfoo
also, a wonderful shrub that was evidently always here which smells like jasmine but doesn't look like what I could find in google
6:11 am
Uneaixoise
sounds GORGEOUS!!
6:12 am
Uneaixoise
just searched google art for "mosaic bench" -- lots of beautiful examples!
6:12 am
rubyfoo
and everything in shades of pink, rose, red, violet, salmon, blue and a little white
6:12 am
Uneaixoise
lovely . . .
6:13 am
rubyfoo
I have Gaudi's park indelibly etched behind my eyes

6:18 am
rubyfoo
NOW I can rest with the NYT crossword!
6:19 am
rubyfoo
how are you today? Is it hot there?
6:21 am
MollyL
No, we had a cold front move through yesterday so it's nice and cool out this morning.
6:22 am
rubyfoo
I was craving the heat, so I'm very happy
6:22 am
rubyfoo
May was terribly cold
6:22 am
rubyfoo
had to wait until his past week to put the tomatoes in, usually we do it in April
6:23 am
MollyL
Really? Wow. I've had my tomatoes in for over a month. Just got the first red cherry one yesterday.
6:24 am
rubyfoo
all the people who put them in at the usual time wound up with rotten leaves and collapsed plants
6:24 am
rubyfoo
my tomato plants are dinky
6:24 am
rubyfoo
last year, there were more than I could use AND give away!
6:25 am
rubyfoo
but, for the first time, we have a lot of strawberries
6:25 am
MollyL
And you will this year too, just later, that's all. Ooo, lots of strawberries is a blessing.
6:26 am
rubyfoo
they aren't big, but they're really tasty -- not like the awful ones around Miami which were big, beautiful and without flavor
6:26 am
rubyfoo
these are almost as intense as fraise de bois
6:27 am
rubyfoo
this is all such a treat for me as it's my first garden
6:27 am
MollyL
Yours sound delicious. I know the strawberries of which you speak. Big, red and taste like straw.
6:27 am
rubyfoo
hence the name, lol
6:28 am
rubyfoo
and then, of course, French sweet cream and sugar -- how bad is that?
6:28 am
rubyfoo
and the currants are almost ready
6:29 am
MollyL
I love growing things. One of my dreams is to have a greenhouse, so I can do that all year long.
6:30 am
rubyfoo
did you ever see the movie "Saving Grace", talk about greenhouses! starring Brenda Blethyn
6:30 am
rubyfoo
you would love it!
6:30 am
MollyL
No, I haven't seen that one.
6:30 am
rubyfoo
she has an amazing greenhouse.....which she puts to excellent use
6:31 am
rubyfoo
see you later; all this gardening has knocked me out
6:31 am
MollyL
Have a good day, Ruby.

6:55 am
Anniebrook
good start, rbud
6:57 am
rbud
the bedroom goes into the back room, the living room goes into the bedroom, the kitchen goes into what is now the living room, the leg bone's connected to the foot bone... lol!
6:58 am
Anniebrook
dem bones, dem bones, gonna rise again
7:00 am
rbud
- the old kitchen will be a new bathroom, too - this could be great. All with big wide doors and nice ramps if needed, we're planning for the long haul.
7:00 am
Anniebrook
sounds wonderful, rbud
7:00 am
rbud
well, the potential for ramps, I mean.
7:02 am
rbud
I'm getting excited, whee! I've always wanted the bedroom to be the living room, it's huge, in the front of the house, and has a big bay window, so it makes sense.
7:02 am
Anniebrook
sounds like the front bedroom was once a living room
7:03 am
lbdawger
any clue for the lone E?
7:03 am
rbud
I think so, too. It's an old house.

7:24 am
lbdawger

7:24 am
sprite
Annie: no, I have decided not to. The train trip is long for him. And the decider was that ruby's young Chow is still very wild. Terra is not comfortable with big young eager dogs. They have hurt him in the past.
7:24 am
sprite
wooooot lbd! Gratz and great!
7:24 am
Mom
lol, LBD. I am so glad you have found work.
7:25 am
Mom
How long is the train ride, Sprite?
7:25 am

8 hours, Mom.
7:25 am
lbdawger
how exciting to be going to visit Ruby, sprite. i bet you two will have loads of fun.
7:25 am
rbud

7:25 am
Anniebrook
good decision, sprite...bask away in her garden..it must be wonderful this time of year
7:26 am
sprite

7:26 am
lbdawger
Ruby said she's been spending lots of time in her garden this week. it will be all primed for your visit.
7:26 am
sprite
yes, looking forward so much for the chows. But even more to meeting ruby and husband and chatting IRL with them.
7:26 am
Mom
can't wait to see the pictures. 8 hours .... that is not long at all
7:27 am
sprite
I really hope ruby won't work harder now, just because of me! I will take things as they are and I already know I will LOVE the garden.
7:27 am
sprite
Mom: no, with a high speed train, marvelous isn't it! But 8 hours is long for a dog.
7:27 am
Anniebrook

Hi ((Crossy))
7:33 am
crosshair
((mom))
7:34 am
Mom
Sprite, I was just saying to sweetie, how it amazes me that you can get to France in 8 hours. 8 hours on a train here wouldn't get you halfway across the country
7:34 am
Flask1
Hi ((Mom))
7:34 am
Mom
need to find the blooming tree
7:35 am
sprite
no, the distances are so incredibly different, between Europe and the US. I am in Paris in 3 hours, then I must metro to the other side of Paris, and then in a little over 4 hours I am in Annecy. Really amazing.
7:35 am
Mom
it is amazing. Our oldest and his wife are going to Portugal in August and are debating if they want to take the train to Spain.
7:36 am
sprite
you know, whenever people here say: "I won't drive that far" about some distance in the Netherlands (max 400 km), I always say: "In America you would drive that to bring your kid to sport clubs, lol."
7:36 am
crosshair
we often forget the short distances over there,i talk to family in the U.K and they idly mention they are going to spain for the weekend and my mind goes "spain?,for the weekend??" the the distances kick in
7:36 am
Mom
that is the truth.
7:36 am
crosshair
indeed sprite,i once had a job that was a 3 hour drive each way
7:37 am
Flask1
What amazes me is the fact that the U.S is so big...it has different time zones!!
7:37 am
crosshair
so do we flask lol
7:37 am
sprite
see? It is worlds apart.
Oh yes, Flask, amazing, isn't it!
7:38 am
Flask1
really Crossy??
7:38 am
crosshair
lol indeed flask,remember we span the entire width as well
7:38 am
sprite
yes, you too, crossy. Truly baffling for us. Actually, now with the Euro, I can go to rubyfoo as I would go to Groningen, for instance. Just hop in the train, hop out again, just need a weekend bag.
7:38 am
Flask1
I get very confused even on here with it, sometimes!
7:38 am
Mom
yes 4 times zones.
7:39 am
Mom
Sweetie was saying that russia has 6 time zomes
7:39 am
sprite
hehehe me too! I often ask what time it is for other babblers. I learned here: first the aussies, then europe, then the US arrive at a certain time.
7:39 am
sprite
woot, Mom. Can you imagine?
7:40 am
crosshair
we have 6 time zones:)))
7:40 am

7:41 am
crosshair
Pacific Time, Mountain Time, Central Time, Eastern Time, Atlantic Time, and Newfoundland Time
7:41 am
tabbycat
More time zones than the US, Crossy...we just have 4
7:42 am

We are in Florida and want to go visit our daughter and son in law in San Francisco. It's two days by car or train.
7:42 am
Flask1
Well Crossy thats all new to me...thanks for the info.
7:42 am

we have none, grin.... well, one of course, but we take it from Berlin. We don't have one that starts in our own country.
7:42 am

tabby: that is some trip!
7:43 am
tabbycat
Planning on going by train one day...would enjoy that
7:43 am
Mom
no I can't imagine
7:43 am
Mom
oh I forgot the time zone for Hawaii
7:43 am
crosshair
here in ontario sprite and flask,if we wish to visit someone on vancouver island in the west,i can be up to two weeks to get there by car :)))
7:43 am
Mom
I think a train ride across the US would be wonderful
7:44 am
tabbycat
I've flown out there...can't remember the time it took but we had a layover in Albuquerque, NM
7:44 am
Flask1
So do I Mom....would love it!!
7:44 am
sprite
wow crossy, that is really baffling.
And yes, a train ride across the US would be great.
7:44 am
Flask1
Oh Crossy...I would just fly.....lol
7:44 am

The trip from Florida to San Francisco with sleeping room is over $1,000 per person which includes all meals.
7:54 am

7:54 am

7:54 am

There are layovers in DC and Chicago of several hours. Enough time to do a little sightseeing
7:54 am

It would be a great trip, Crossy

whenever I can garner 10 minutes' more energy, I go out and pull weeds
8:38 am
rubyfoo
silly ruby
8:39 am
rubyfoo
did sprite tell you why I'm sprucing up the garden?
8:39 am
sprite
that IS silly, ruby. I will love the garden just as it is, don't go make things perfect on my behalf, please. Ok?
8:39 am
jmcnrick
so the other n is no9?
8:39 am
jmcnrick
no why are you sprucing up your garden
8:39 am
rubyfoo
not a worry, it's good for me to yank some weeds and deadhead the roses!
8:40 am

no, no5/10. Sing with 9
8:40 am

8:40 am
rubyfoo
sprucing for sprite
8:40 am
sprite
yeah :) But I don't want ruby to overdo things. Trust me, friend, I will love things just as they are.
8:41 am
rubyfoo
it is lovely and warm here, much-needed sun after rainy and cold April and May
8:41 am
rubyfoo
I need to be out in the sun and might as well pull weeds while there!
8:41 am
rubyfoo
the currants are just starting to get pink
8:41 am
jmcnrick
haha i pull weeds when i wait for my sister to pick me up
8:42 am
jmcnrick
ooo do you make jam?
8:42 am
sprite
ok :) Just take it easy, ok?
8:42 am
rubyfoo
exactly, you can't make a "day plan" around weed-pulling
8:43 am
rubyfoo
I make currant jelly, blackberry jelly, ignore the cassis and apples, plum jam when there are some (not most years) but eat the raspberries, strawberries and figs as they ripen
8:43 am
rubyfoo
it makes me happy
8:43 am
jmcnrick
oo i would make apple butter....i loves apple butter
8:44 am
sprite
*drools*
Can you teach me to make jam, ruby?
8:44 am
jmcnrick
i have tried to grow figs a couple of times. . .i grew up with giant figs trees
8:44 am
rubyfoo
I love it, too, but didn't know it could be homemade. Will look it up. Generally, I give all the apples to the fellow who helps with the garden
8:44 am
rubyfoo
it is possible that the currants will be ready when you get here if the sunshine keeps up
8:44 am
sprite
<--- loves apples
8:45 am
sprite
ruby, you didn't yet tell me what I can bring for your husband and dogs.
8:45 am
rubyfoo
I thought the fig tree was killed by the last frosts (following the warm February) but it has made a lovely comeback
8:45 am
rubyfoo
I don't know if there'll be figs this year, but I was said when I thought it was dead
8:45 am
sprite
good for the fig tree! At least we will have something to wear af5 the orgies ;)
8:46 am
rubyfoo
did you think the herring idea was funny?
8:46 am
sprite
I will see what I can do, ruby, about the herring :)
8:46 am
rubyfoo
when it was planted, 15 or so years ago, it was exactly my size and now it is very big and pretty
8:47 am
rubyfoo
it's a great idea, but probably a stinky one LOL
8:47 am
rubyfoo
I had dit placed in the warmest, sunniest part of the garden, against a wall with a total South exposure
8:47 am
sprite
I will only do it when they can pack it in vacuum thingies. I know our cheese vendor does that.
8:48 am
sprite
so... what to bring to make your husband happy? And your dogs?
8:48 am
rubyfoo
Burt will love that, too
8:48 am
sprite
ah good :)
8:48 am
rubyfoo
YOU will make them all happy; Burt is truly the man who has everything!
8:48 am
rubyfoo
and the dogs love company
8:48 am
sprite
ok, then just tell me if he is a sweettooth or a harty man.
8:49 am
sprite
harty? Can't be right. Someone who loves his snacks salty.
8:49 am
rubyfoo
put a dog biscuit in each pocket! they'll be in puppy heaven
8:49 am
sprite
ok :) Do they like to gnaw on hide or not?
8:49 am
rubyfoo
he doesn't snack :( and doesn't eat sweets. Do you eat sweets, though, I will make a strawberry tart!
8:50 am
sprite
I eat sweets, but nothing with cream. Most cakes are not for me. I will love strawberries though!
8:50 am
rubyfoo
Burt bought a giant-size pkg of chewy bones and the dogs turn up their baclk noses -- I will send them home with you for Terra
8:51 am
rubyfoo
black* noses
8:51 am

Good morning!

Rufie is changing color and the front of his legs are getting darker, so he looks like he's wearing chaps
8:51 am
car.eeyore
Hi Sprite!
8:51 am
sprite
and does Burt like things to read? About what?
8:51 am
car.eeyore
So cute!
8:51 am
car.eeyore
((ruby))
8:52 am
sprite
aww that is so sweet
8:52 am
rubyfoo
absolutely true, they are like huge cats in fur coats
8:52 am
rubyfoo
pls don't worry about Burt, Sprite, he is just happy that you are coming to visit!
8:52 am
sprite
maybe I will bring Burt a little book about dutch mills or something like that... would he find that interesting?
8:52 am
sprite
I am happy to finally meet him too!
8:53 am
rubyfoo
he loves the Netherlands, had a factory there many years ago, I think in Kampen [sp?], but he'll tell you his wonderful story about it
8:53 am
car.eeyore
Yeah! Babble Road Trip!
8:53 am
sprite
oh! Looking forward to that! Kampen is correct. Oh and the booze is spelled 'Jenever'. :)
8:54 am
rubyfoo
he says that it is said that the smartest men in the world come from Kampen
8:54 am
jmcnrick
I looked at several online recipes for apple butter and i hate all of them. . .
8:54 am
sprite
yes car :) June 19, all is booked.
8:54 am
car.eeyore
Hi jmc!
8:54 am
sprite
I have never even heard of apple butter, jmc.
8:54 am
rubyfoo
<-- had no idea of the spelling but used to drink it in Brussels all the time and in Amsterdam the little bit I was there
8:55 am
rubyfoo
I will look in my NYT cookbook for a recipe for you
8:56 am
rubyfoo
I will certainly show sprite how to make jam; it is really easy (except for quince, which is a fruit I only admire and sniff)
8:57 am
sprite
quince... isn't that that particular pe4?
8:57 am
sprite
so looking forward to be in the kitchen with you, ruby!
8:57 am
jmcnrick
basically you cook the apples within an inch of their lives and then add cinnamon mace ginger and sugar depending on the sweetness of the apple
8:58 am
rubyfoo
looks like a pe4 on steroids, but has beautiful flowers (finished now) and gritty but wonderfully fragrant fruit. It makes a great jelly, but too much trouble for lazy me
8:58 am
sprite
hm... is that the same as apple sauce then, jmc?
8:58 am
sprite
thought so, ruby! Very particular fruit indeed.
8:58 am
jmcnrick
i have a quince bush but my quinces are sooooooo hard that i can't do a thing with them
8:58 am
sprite
hi Legend :) Happy or to you too.
8:58 am
jmcnrick
similar but not the same. . . brown and spicy and lovely
8:58 am
rubyfoo
does it have salmon-colored flowers, jmc?
8:59 am
jmcnrick
hi legend
8:59 am
jmcnrick
yes it does ruby
8:59 am
rubyfoo
if yes, then it's a Japanese quince and the fruit isn't worth eating
8:59 am
sprite
ok! Must try that once. I thought it was made with butter and I don't eat butter at all.
8:59 am
jmcnrick
i was told it was a flowering quince
8:59 am
rubyfoo
we have it as a decorative plant and I've just learned, to my delight, that it is invasive and just had several babies around the garden
9:00 am
sprite
awww baby quinces. Would they grow in the netherlands?
9:00 am
rubyfoo
the regular quince has very large pink flowers that look a lot like roses and large pe4-shape fruit which is light green shading to bronze
9:01 am
rubyfoo
also, it is a tree and the Japanese quince is more bush-like
9:01 am
rubyfoo
the holly also had two babies this year but they're thorny
9:02 am
bichon
my quince produces flowers, but the fruit mostly disappear. Probably eaten my something
9:02 am
rubyfoo
and on that note, I'm off to give pups their cocktail-hour treats
9:02 am
rubyfoo
dear bichon!!
9:02 am
sprite
hehehe only 2 more weeks, ruby!
9:02 am

hi bichon!
9:03 am

Hi Bichon!
9:03 am
bichon
mornin' everyone
9:03 am
rubyfoo
Rufie just strolled into the studio and stood on Ruby's tail; she is now whining and snarling at him
9:03 am
rubyfoo
but she never hurts him
9:03 am
sprite
aw poor ruby.
9:04 am
rubyfoo
I think she loves him, though, and they often sleep very close to each other
9:04 am
rubyfoo
the snarling is for my benefit, I think
9:04 am
car.eeyore
Ahhh..pack play!
9:04 am
sprite
yeah, sounds good. And by snarling she warns rufie that he must behave. It's only for the good.
9:05 am
bichon
my two go at each other too. But, it's just play fighting
9:05 am
rubyfoo
I would love to see her reaction to Marco and Polo. It would be a riot; Rufie would hinke they were fluffy toys and Ruby would probably just slink away
9:05 am
rubyfoo
I guess I'm the alpha dog around here
9:06 am
rubyfoo
see you later, kids!
9:06 am
sprite
fireflies! Must be off. *hugs* to all and have fun!
Ruby: that is the only way! You the alpha.
9:06 am
car.eeyore
Wahoo! Well done Sprite!
9:06 am
car.eeyore
Have a great day!
9:07 am
bichon
Most other dogs are terrified by Maro/Polo.
9:08 am
bichon
I think because they were on the street they learned that offense is the best defense
9:09 am
car.eeyore
OMG! I found the 9!!!!

I totally agree! I say it almost every day! Good morning Shirlockc
9:22 am
Shirlockc
it's the sound you make when you meet one of your personal icon/idols or get really excited
9:23 am
MollyL
Squee: Internet onomatopoeia for a squeal
9:26 am
Shirlockc
nooner should be a word too!
9:28 am
car.eeyore
How many ae words please?
9:28 am
MollyL
I agree about nooner. That word has been around a long time and is a well established slang word. But Enable will take "arvo". Go figure.
9:28 am
MollyL
Three ae words Car.

9:36 am
rubyfoo

GAK! Can you imagined the pollen though! LOL!
9:36 am

I take Benadryl sometimes to fall asleep.
9:36 am

we're up quite high (in this landscape, anyway), so we're not worried about it. Most of the areas around the rivers here are parks, etc. so no one has had property damage

People think that adding something to liquor makes them "cocktails" and not straight booze, which therefore makes them "not an alcoholic" since the common misconception is that only alcoholics drink straight booze.

Why is "adultery" so similar to "adulthood?" Do you think that people commit adultery because they have gotten the words mixed up?

They aren't adulterers Molly, they just need someone to carry their luggage!

11:03 am

I'm sure there's a reason Kap... did you know there are a ton of words derived from salt, including salary, salacious, salad, salami... it seems like anything with "sal" has some historical connection to salt

Hi Judi. I was trying to read what your icon said andn I just can't read that shirt!
12:15 pm
Nef
hi Jeff. Some days I think all the words are like that
12:15 pm
Judi
Nef, it says: "How's about a nice warm cup of Shut the Hell Up".
12:18 pm
Nef
there are days I could use that shirt (esp. when my daughter gets going! I used to tell her she was wearing my ears out!)
12:18 pm
MollyL
The perfect cup for those people who go on and on and on and on.
12:19 pm
Judi
I have a friend who words as a waitress. She loves it. Can't wear it to work tho.
12:19 pm
Nef
(It always helps to hit "enter" when you write something for chat
12:21 pm
MollyL
God bless those who wait tables. They have to put up with more than their fair share.
12:26 pm
sadie52

12:27 pm
Nef
it's a job I found that I could never do. I tried to help in a family small town cafe and within 10 minutes got pulled off the floor and put on dishwashing duty.
12:27 pm
Judi
lol. Some have the gift, others not, Nef.
12:28 pm
Nef
This was during the Bicentennial and I wanted to punch out a drunk! (and, No! I am not a violent person; he was rude, crude, and needed a beating!)
12:28 pm
Nef
it's some liquid for cheese, sadie
12:29 pm
sadie52
ty nef :)
12:31 pm
MollyL
Great story about Nef's feisty side!
12:33 pm
Nef
oh, I have one, Molly! It just doesn't come out often. (I think my family was shocked when I started telling the big drunken galoot off and trying to pick him up and throw him out the door)
12:33 pm
Nef
(he was sitting in a booth at the time; I hadn't decked him)
12:34 pm
hego
whoo hoo listen to nef!!
12:34 pm
MollyL
It needs to come out more! I like it! : )
12:35 pm
Nef
hi hego. (now I should shut up before you know too much! ;-)
12:35 pm
Judi
Off to do more weeding! Lousy chore, but a lovely day - so, it all balances out. *POOF*
12:36 pm
Nef
oh, come one now. You've all got similar stories I bet
12:37 pm
MollyL
It's okay Nef. Your secret is safe with us. Next time you post something like "oh no, I'm too nice to do something like that"...Hego and I will just chuckle quietly to ourselves.
12:39 pm
Nef
I don't DO things like that very often; but I sure THINK them at times. But that guy neededit; and my Irish temper got up so fast I didn't think
12:40 pm
hego
chuckle chukle
12:40 pm
hokie carla
hello all, just got here. not going too fast.
12:41 pm
hego
<----wishes she did have a similar story.
12:42 pm
Nef
hego, as a nurse, you probably have plenty of stories; but you just won't talk about them because they were about your patients. :-)
12:42 pm
Nef
hi hokie. I started out slow, went quickly for a while but am now almost stopped at 85 words done.
12:43 pm
hego
hmmm... maybe Nef
12:43 pm
hokie carla
42 right now. I can't imagine getting to 85 with this.
12:45 pm
Nef
you can do it, hokie! Do you have NBT yet?
12:46 pm
hokie carla
4 more to go, mostly vowels. I have the hardest time finding the ones that start with vowels.
12:47 pm
hego
welcome to "the I hate vowelss club"
12:48 pm
hokie carla
the two bottom n's too. there's too many n's there. I think I see a word but it's from the other n.
12:49 pm
Nef
the 2nd column bottom N is no 5/10; a group of 9 performers/ musicians
12:50 pm
Nef
the other bottom N is the Hawaiian goose
12:50 pm
hokie carla
got that one, thx
12:51 pm
hokie carla

12:51 pm

12:52 pm
Nef
TV star? I guess I don't know , nor have that one
12:55 pm
hokie carla
She's on one of those real housewives shows. I don't watch, but I read a lot of entertainment weekly. I think it's spelled the same, but I could be totally wrong.
12:55 pm
hego
in the dark
12:56 pm
Nef
same h888, hego. I guess I'm out of the loop
12:56 pm
hokie carla

12:57 pm
Nef
Ohh! That's someone's name?
12:57 pm
Nef
BRB; I must need a cup of coffee

1:12 pm
hokie carla
Up to 71 now,too. I actually made it halfway.
1:12 pm
Nef
okay, it isn't in this grid, but can anyone tell me why "nano" isn't a word for Enable?
1:13 pm
Nef
WooHoo hokie! Told you so! :-)
1:14 pm
torgone
It's a prefix ..
1:14 pm
hokie carla
no idea. nooner isn't either.
1:15 pm
Nef
thanks, tor. Never realized that before
1:20 pm
hokie carla
I'm hitting the list.
1:22 pm
hokie carla
darnit, I always miss a certain ae4! I would consider it a prefix along with nano, but I guess it isn't.
1:22 pm
Nef
Yeah, I'm going to too soon. I swear there aren't any more than 104 words in this grid
1:23 pm
hego
I believe Nef
1:28 pm
Nef
well, now that I've lsted, hego; there are a few more words; so don't believe me
1:30 pm
hokie carla
yes, I found a few right off the bat that I knew to be real words and should have gotten.
1:30 pm
hokie carla
such as, the 9 letter.
1:31 pm
hego
the 9 is a fish
1:32 pm
hego
meaning we expected it to be a lot harder
1:32 pm
hokie carla
lol, thx for clarifying. I was like, a fish?
1:33 pm
Nef
yep. sometimes those compound words can fool you
1:33 pm
hego
Babble expression
1:33 pm
torgone
You could spend one fishing ..
1:34 pm
hokie carla
apparently I have been gone for too long. had to have NBT explained to me last week. That wasn't around before my hiatus.
1:38 pm
MollyL
There is a lot of "Babble jargon" here. The monkeys thing is my least favorite.
1:38 pm
Nef
hokie, not everyone uses that term, so don't think that you were gone too long.
1:39 pm
Nef
I love my monkeys, Molly! Why don't you like that term?
1:39 pm
MollyL
Because it is SO over done here.
1:40 pm
hego
started with trying to monkey the words.
1:40 pm
hokie carla
what is that one exactly? monkey typing?
1:40 pm
hego
as in monkeying around, I guess.
1:41 pm
hego
when you can't get a word so you try different combinations.
1:41 pm
hokie carla
I just thought it meant a monkey could just type around and find words.
1:41 pm
maccafixx
