1:18 am

Guess I'll give it a break and come back later, perhaps it jumps right out of the grid then :)
When the rest of the grid is done, at least I'll know how many letters... and if all else fails, we can always call a2z to the rescue ;)

7:21 am
Jacula
I've been away sorting laundry, too. After I once fell down the stairs with a full laundry basket I've now got into the habit of hurling the clothes down the stairs. This is unfortunate for the cat, if she happens to be sitting at the bottom of the wooden hill as she was today. It is also sometimes embarrassing for me if anyone happens to come to the front door before I've cleared the clothes pile since we have a set of rabbit 'fairy' lights running down one side of the staircase and, more often than not, various items of flimsy female lingerie get caught on the way down and are left hanging nonchalantly from rabbit ears.

I wonder, If and when Miyavi starts Babbling, she'll start going on about any Stephen King-based horror movies she's been watching (or any other horror movies come to that...) lol...
8:52 am
Anj
Back again :)
*waves at Toes*
8:52 am
Jacula
Movieman - She may well have sought out 'Carrie 2' or 'The Evil Dead' films. I mentioned them yesterday when she was watching 'Carrie'.
8:56 am
ToeSockMonkey
*waves at Anj* Hiiii! :)
8:56 am
movieman
Jacula - have seen all those movies u mentioned, and I think, and this is just my opinion, the 'Evil Dead' films are quite, quite brilliant, (and a lot of the ideas in those films showed up in director Sam Raimi's first two 'Spider-Man' movies), but the "sequel" to Carrie, to paraphrase Eric Cartman from 'South Park', sucked donkey b****...
8:58 am
miss tea
random fact-- I went to college with the woman who played the lead in carrie 2. she's actually quite a good actress, but i think that movie sunk her career prospects, unfortunately. boy it was bad!
8:58 am
Jacula
Like I said to Miyavi yesterday, Movieman, the original 'Carrie' is far darker than the more brashly gruesome 'Carrie 2'. BTW, I didn't warn her to brace herself during the graveside scene. LOL. I remember at the cinema when the whole audience leapt a foot off their seats (except for me, who'd read the book). roflol.
8:59 am
Anj
Hi Toes :)
Movieman, keeping on the Bruce Campbell theme, what did you think of Bubba Ho-Tep??
8:59 am
Jax
Does anyone know what W was missing from Fmitch's posting earlier? I can't find that last one. Or the c9, my last c. sigh
9:00 am
movieman
Luckily, I'm at an age now where I don't find horror movies even the remotest bit scary anymore (maybe I've seen too many for my own good...)
9:02 am
movieman
Anj - I thought Bubba was actually pretty good...it was one of those movies I first heard about at least a year or so before it came out at the cinemas here in Britain, but boy was it worth the wait (have also bought it on DVD...)
9:02 am
Anj
Jax, the cr9 refers to the notched or scalloped edging on leaves and paper. Sounds like the tip of battlements on castles
9:03 am
DarleenMB
thanks for the clue anj!

Movie, I've got the dvd but i'm not sure I 'get' the film. It reminded me of House II in the way it played...

9:32 am
DarleenMB
good point movieman. The series was one of the best ... too bad fox axed it. SciFi channel has been rerunning it though. Or you could BUY the dvds (just a thought). Well worth the bucks in my opinion. Esp if you're a SF fan.
9:32 am
Jacula
Movieman - go to http://www.fireflyfans.net/ for info or just buy the DVD set - Amazon have it.
9:33 am
DarleenMB
Artlady, well, it's a 120+ mile trip for us, but as I said. Hubby is having some surgery so that's as good an excuse as any to go to Billings.
9:33 am
artlady
Movie, there were several people near us who had not seen the series, but were with friends who had. They enjoyed it. It does a nice "catch-up" without boring us fans.

Thanks, but I'm only so far behind because I'm trying to find a picture of the lead singer in my favourite band looking scary for a halloween icon. The problem is in most pictures he finds something fascinating to stare at behind him...

it's intermittent, Anj. may not affect everybody, but I've been having problems for days.
11:58 am

yesterday, my heart stopped, I LOST my entire word list!! I had like 90 words or something. It wasn't at the bottom of the page either. It had GONE! Then I hit refresh, and it came back.
11:59 am

Oh dear. It was prob my word list that did it. No probs on Firefox, you see.

Sorry about that folks. *Creeps away red-faced with a tear in her eye. 'Only trying to help'. Sniff, sniff.*
12:01 pm
Babbler
it wasn't you, Jacula. Promise.
12:02 pm
Miyavi_fan
Nope, logged out, logged in, refreshed, kicked computer...and word list still will not appear! *throws a temper tantrum*
12:02 pm
Jacula
*'Are you sure Babbler?' says a little voice from the corner where Jacula is hiding.*
12:03 pm
Babbler
I'm so sorry Miy. How about if you power down, then reboot?
12:03 pm
Anj
ah, Torgone... ve haf ze nice flying vether for zis time of year, ja?
12:03 pm
torgone
It's a glitch Dr_God thought was fixed, but looks like you found a way around it Jac!
That was supposed to say Moose...
12:03 pm
Babbler
Jacula, I've been having problems for days. You haven't been posting big lists every day, have you?? Well then! : )
12:03 pm
Miyavi_fan
ah, don't worry Babbler...it'll come out when it's ready. Right now it's teasing me by coming out then disappearing again :)
12:04 pm
Babbler
so it's deffo there, then, Miy. That's good. Might settle down later. Maybe it's hungry and wants its dinner....???
12:05 pm
Miyavi_fan
Could be, Babbler...though I've always brought my word lists up well, tried to teach them right from wrong...*sighs*
12:06 pm

aaah, but they do need good food! I hope you feed them organic, GM free, biodynamic local produce! LOL !
12:07 pm

*looks shocked* Of course, Babbler! Only the best for my little darlings!
12:08 pm
Miyavi_fan
Yay, it's back!
12:08 pm

Er...no, it's not...
12:08 pm

...or you could try a nice kebab with peri peri sauce made with mystery meat. Apparently folk are powerless to resist its siren song after 7 pints...
12:09 pm

*glares* People over 18 have all the fun...*sulks*
12:09 pm
Babbler
has everyone been having problems when posting messages? I have for at least a few weeks. I hit 'post message', but it doesn't post.... I hit refresh, it still doesn't post. Finally, after much messing around, it gets there.....
12:10 pm
brandyjack
That's part of the log refresh. You won't see your post until your log refreshes at the interval.
12:11 pm
Miyavi_fan
*temper starts rising* I think one computer may need a slap from the obvious fish...
12:11 pm
lola100
Anj- lol! Have managed to avoid one of those so far!
12:12 pm
Babbler
no Brandyjack -- I thought that, but my messages sometimes totally freeze. Or they don't appear in the log even after I've posted the message and the message box is empty.
12:12 pm
speedfreak
As soon as I hit hide icons my words jumped back up...
12:13 pm
lola100
Woohoo, speedfreak for president! :)
12:13 pm
Anj
*passes Miyavi 20lb of large wet haddock and pair of gloves*
Stand back everyone...
Babbler i've been getting that as well. 9 times out of 10 the refresh sorts it.
12:13 pm
brandyjack
When your words jump to the bottom of the page, sometimes turning off the icons for a while will help. Although in the case of Jaq's post, it might not have. The Re string and the we string are quite long.
12:13 pm
torgone
Chill, yav. About 5 more posts should do it.
Spam a l'orange, anyone?
12:14 pm
Miyavi_fan
Sorry Torgone...I am past chilling! Thanks Anj...
*takes aim*
12:14 pm
Anj
Lo, trust me babe you don't want to go there. It's not that it's gross, it's just well, everything smells of kebab the following morning. Clothes, house, breath... :/ I avoid them like the plague.
12:14 pm
Judi
Well, I give up. Must be Mondayitits. Anyone have clues for the 9 and the 8s?
12:15 pm
brandyjack
Actually Babbler, now that you mention it, I have seen that one a few times. Mine will freeze for up to 45 minutes that I've noticed. And then poof, a large quantity of messages appears, with less than recent timestamps.
12:15 pm
Miyavi_fan
THWACK

Judi
That's showing it who's boss, Miyavi.
12:16 pm

We have a similar delicacy in SA called a bunny chow. Half a loaf of bread, insides scooped out and replaced with curry. Directions for use: stagger into duboious looking takeaway, buy said bunnychow, stagger down to beachfront and consume :)
12:16 pm
Babbler
also, Brandyjack, I posted a reply to Miy a few mins ago, after the organic food discussion, and although I tried really hard to rescue it and post it, it simply has not appeared. : (
12:17 pm
Miyavi_fan
lol Judi...and amazingly, the word list is back!
12:17 pm
Anj
That's the spirit Miy :)
I had three browsers running last night and they all froze at about 1am. Taskmanager said they were running but nothing happened for about 20 mins so I had to bug out and restart...
12:17 pm
Judi
Ah, the old bitch slap re-boot. It never fails.
12:17 pm
Miyavi_fan
there, there, Babbler. It's with us in spirit :)
12:18 pm

Hey! I got beeped! I used the word for female dog. Well, shutmymowf.
12:18 pm

thx Miy. I only wanted to say you crack me up, and I like today's icon. :'(

Thats it Miya Don't let the machines win or else it could be another Stephen King movie.......oooohhh
12:19 pm

Ah, Anj, I couldn't have done it without your 20lb haddock...and the rubber gloves! Though infuriatingly, word list has gone AWOL again
12:19 pm
brandyjack
Try going to the bottom message window, then pressing and holding ALT key, then press the backspace key a few times. This might allow you to retrieve your message.
12:19 pm
Anj
Lo, now that sounds familar babe lol Hey, you just have to be introduced to Cap'n Jaspers Half a Yard of Dog :)
You actually get a badge if you finish it :D

Wow, thanks...any idea how it's made?
1:45 pm

If you're looking for a recipe, Napoleans are easy with Filo pastry. Just slap a little custard in the middle of a few layers and frost the top. Voila! Dessert.
1:47 pm

grrr... I'm so annoyed with posting message problems... : (
1:49 pm
Miyavi_fan
lol Babbler, I can see it now..."so, how do you make filo pastry?" "oh, you open the packet" *sighs*
1:50 pm
Babbler
If I remember rightly, Miy, you need either 8 or 16 layers. You roll and roll and roll, till the layers are really fine. It's very tricky and you need a cold kitchen. (I did it at school).
1:50 pm
Jera
I'm missing a B & I think it's a 4/9... could I have second letter hint, please?

Cat: Ok. I say let's get into the jet-powered rocket pants and junior birdman the hell out of here!
Kryten: An excellent and inventive suggestion, sir, with just two tiny drawbacks:
a) We don't have any jet-powered rocket pants; and
b) there's no such thing as jet-powered rocket pants outside the fictional serial 'Robbie Rocket Pants'.
Cat: Well, that's put a crimp on an otherwise damn fine plan.

Kryten: An excellent plan, sir, with only two minor drawbacks: One, we don't have any defensive shields and two, we don't have any defensive shields. Now I know technically speaking that's only one drawback, but I thought it was such a big one, it was worth mentioning twice.

There's a new book been published about absinthe. I was reading about it in The Sunday Times.
7:53 pm
Doogle
Hey y'all. I liked that bit about "snorkling in the custard tub" about an hour ago. That's *got* to be a euphemism.
7:54 pm
lola100
Doogle! I'm sure I have no idea what you mean...lol!
7:55 pm
Babbler
...can't breathe otherwise, Doogle....
7:56 pm
Babbler
141 words so far, without using a2z, but relying heavily on my Babble Buddies. Getting verrrry tired and sleeeeepy......
7:57 pm
Jacula
Can't remember the title and who wrote it now. Will let you know later when I've retrieved it from the newspaper pile in the rabbit/guinea pig shed.
I do remember a bit in the article about Toulouse Lautrec and how he would amble water into the glass to make the mixture cloudy. In those clouds lay artistic visions. LOL.
7:57 pm
lola100
*throws bucket of cold water over babbler*
7:58 pm
Babbler
*splutters* gordon bennet, Lola!
7:58 pm
lola100
LOL! Artistic visions? I know a few other things that can cause those...
7:58 pm
Jacula
laughs her head off over the snorkelling in a custard tub thing and its replies. Decides not to put any interpretations of her own on it as Taureans can be very crude! :-/
7:59 pm
lola100
gordon bennet??
7:59 pm
Babbler
I've got the sunday times.... I'll take a mini-break and see if I can find this book. Is it this week's, Jac?
7:59 pm
Anj
OK babe, i'm getting pretty sleepy myself here too :)
lol Doogle...we will have to submit that to Viz and see if they can add it to Roger's Profanasaurus :')
8:00 pm
Jacula
Gordon Bennett. 'Bloody Hell', 'Gawd!' etc. An interjection of surprise and sometimes pain or amusement.
8:00 pm
lola100
Yes...but why??
8:00 pm
Anj
Jac, i'm a Taurean! ...but you'd already guessed that lol
8:01 pm
Jacula
Yes, this week's Babbler. *Thinks, hope to Gordon Bennett it wasn't The Mail on Sunday!* LOL.
8:01 pm
Jacula
Anj - I think we've had this discussion already. There is no other sign you could be!
8:01 pm
Babbler
I have the Mail on Sunday too!! It's not in the Culture section, so it must be in the mail......
8:02 pm
Anj
Gordon Bennet:

8:02 pm
artlady
Slap slap! Get serious folks. While you're lollygagging around in the custard pool I'm cursing the R's. I need 2 re 5's, have the do having to do with doing or happening again.
8:03 pm
Anj
Jac, but why? What is so essentially Taurean about me???
8:03 pm
Doogle
Don't get flustered by the custard, ArtLady!
8:03 pm
Jax

8:04 pm
artlady
The custard's fine, it's the sharks....
8:04 pm
lola100
Thanks babe :)
8:04 pm
Jacula
Artlady - it's probably a 'ginger' thing you're looking for. You may look at us somewhat re**y once you find it.
8:04 pm
artlady
Yes, I have the 5/10 and the 5/14.
8:05 pm
Jax
I'm missing 1 re 5 myself. I have the 2 that might have to do with tv or if you think of the last 3 letters maybe with a race, then I have one that the last 3 letters are a mongrel. missing one
8:05 pm
Jacula
Anj - I don't know. Maybe it takes one to know one?
8:05 pm
Jax
artlady- they are both 5 10, just change the last vowel. one is present and one is past tense
8:05 pm
Babbler
are you sure you weren't reading about the Degas, Sickert, Toulouse,-Lautrec exhibition, Jac? Degas did a painting called Absinthe, about a drunk prostitute.
8:05 pm
artlady
Now I have the 5/18....and my face is a bit....should have seen that one.
8:06 pm
Jacula
Babbler - might have been in the newspaper review section.
8:06 pm
Jacula
Lollygagging - that's a word I haven't heard for years!
8:07 pm
Jax
thanks jacula that was the one I was missing to. now my last 2 t's and I'm done...
8:07 pm
Anj
...lol Jac. I thought I might be exhibiting signs of being a mad cow. Don't be silly. Now, I'm just off to cut some grass for breakfast...
8:07 pm
artlady
Careful, Jac...no comments on age! I have a custard pie ready...
8:07 pm
Anj
Jax, would one of those be the ta6/24 by any chance??
8:08 pm
lola100
Goodnight everyone, happy babbling, see you tomorrow :)

8:08 pm
Babbler
I'm going to retire at 141 words. Not bad, considering.
Sweet dreams everybody!! : )
8:09 pm
Jacula
ArtLady - the only comment I would make about age right now is that a vintage wine is the most sought after. (At least that's what my 12 years' younger other half tells me!)
8:10 pm
artlady
AAck! Thanks, Jax...I finally opened my eyes to the obvious...with your clue!
8:10 pm
artlady
lol Jacula!
8:10 pm
Jax
YW artlady - that one had me stuck for awhile

9:34 pm
jandro257
mmm I already got old english. i have 25 words now.
9:35 pm
Jacula
197 words today.
9:39 pm
Jacula
SWMBO -
te4/4 - sea bird (Duck)
te4/4 - to rip
te4/4 - what a golfer does to start a shot
te4/4 - sesame oil
te4/4 - a thin tissue or weblike structure
9:41 pm
Doogle
Yeah, I've had that occasionally all day, Babbler, and I use Firefox also. So it's not just an IE problem (as one may have come to expect). No big deal, though, I guess.
9:41 pm
Jacula
A Babble word is either something that crops up constantly, like the Sicilian volcano, et** (et4/4) or a word tht is undefined in no other dictionary other than 'Enable', which it is also not defined in.
9:41 pm
dyberrah
Thanks Jacula - That helps :)
9:42 pm
jandro257
what does stuff like 4/4 mean?
9:43 pm
dyberrah
# of letters/total points for word
4/4 = 4 letter word worth 4 points
9:44 pm
Jacula
Each tile on the grid has a points value, just like Scrabble tiles do. So, an et4/4 is a word that begins with 'et' and totals 4 points. In the case of the one I was on about, the word is 'etna'. It is allowable because it is also another term for a Bunsen burner.
9:44 pm
swmbo
I think it is the sesame oil. I am positive I am looking right at it!
9:44 pm
Doogle
Woah, sorry for the non sequitur, folks. I just happened to read a post written nearly 11 hours ago and responded to it. Probably about the same way my 96-year-old grandmother converses.

10:46 pm

Hi Hugs, Neil. I'm lurking and about to throw in the towel. I don't have the knack for this. The obsurity of so many of hte words just overwhelms me. After finding the obvious words and guessing on the four letter oddities, I'm completely lost.
10:46 pm
Hugabugs
It looks like a greeting missing the double consonant in the middle
10:47 pm
sfneil
Ah! Thanks Dianne and Hugs!
10:47 pm
Hugabugs
Hi mab... yeah, today's grid wasn't as nice as yesterdays... that's for sure.
10:48 pm

Jera posted an H list and the last one listed is He5/10. Is this right? I have an He4/10.
10:48 pm

Are there really two he5's? 'Cause if there's one, that's what I'm missing... and if there's two, I'm missing both, and something is screwy

Dianne it's past tense of having something (or someone) in your arms
10:56 pm
Hugabugs
Oh, you need the past tense of having something in your hands.
10:57 pm
Dianne
Hugs - And I just got new glasses - DUH. Right in my face and I couldn't see it - thanks!
10:57 pm
sfneil
still, i'd love to know what the bo5/20 means...
10:59 pm
Dianne
Sfneil - we could sure make up a few good meanings!
10:59 pm
sfneil
Indeed, Dianne... indeed!
10:59 pm
Hugabugs
I found this on it... —n. Australian.
a witch doctor; sorcerer. Also called koradji, coraji.
11:00 pm
sfneil
Those wacky Aussies!
11:01 pm
Hugabugs
It was one of many that had me stumped.
11:02 pm
sfneil
the de6/30, maybe?
11:04 pm
Hugabugs
Oh yeah... that was one too. But surprisingly, I picked out the do5/18 quite early on.
11:05 pm
sfneil
yeah, I always check any archaic forms I can think of... seems a bit arbitrary though as to which ones will fly
11:07 pm
Hugabugs
I was a bit surprised lo4/5y wasn't accepted though
11:08 pm
sfneil
i typed that in three times!! i'm from the US south by birth, and I can definitely report that is considered a word there!
11:10 pm
Hugabugs
It's used often up here too... I mean anyone who's ever turned 40 has had it written on some sort of poster... lo4/5y lo4/5y look who's 40.
11:11 pm
sfneil
I'm literally laughing out loud now! I've never heard that rhyme before!
11:12 pm
Hugabugs
Seriously? It's always used in birthday announcements in the paper too!
11:13 pm
sfneil
of course it's several years too late to use it for myself... sigh...
11:14 pm
Hugabugs
*heavier sigh* I know what you mean... but when it happened to me, I awoke with a huge sign on my front lawn saying those exact words... and it was strewn with 40 various pairs of old boots
11:15 pm
Hugabugs
actually, it was 20 pairs equalling 40 boots
11:15 pm
sfneil
Wow! Is that traditional, as well? What is the significance of the boots? (That you've had a long trek?)
11:16 pm
Hugabugs
It's a demeaning phrase to women... You old boot!
11:16 pm
sfneil
Oh, now that's just mean!
11:16 pm
Hugabugs
My youngest sister thought it was hilarious! :o(
11:17 pm
Hugabugs
I'm dreading the thought of what she'll do next year.
11:17 pm
sfneil
Yeah... wait 'til it happens to her! *frown*
11:19 pm
sfneil
Is next year another milestone? (Sorry... I really am a Southerner at heart... please don't feel obligated to reveal your age... a gentleman never asks.)
11:19 pm
Hugabugs
She's past the 40 mark now... and I was very nice... but I did put 40 balloons and a big sign in front of the hair salon she works in right on the corner of two main drags... hehe
11:20 pm
Hugabugs
Doesn't it say in my profile? My birthday was 4 weeks ago.
11:20 pm
sfneil
My bad. Happy belated birthday!! And 'hugs' from me!
11:21 pm
Hugabugs
Awww... thank you! :o)
11:22 pm
Dianne
OMG - sooo many left to find and so little time (damn work yesterday!). Can't find the Er4 (not bird) or the El5 (not happy) or that De6. Any help?
11:23 pm
Hugabugs
there is only 1 er4/4
11:24 pm
Hugabugs
the el5 - that would be me in my family.... the other sibs are younger
11:24 pm
Dianne
Hugs - you see what kind of shape I'm in - OMG!
11:24 pm
sfneil
de6: start with how you spell out the letter 'd', then add (crossword clue here) a three-letter word for 'pale' or 'ashen'
11:25 pm
Hugabugs
do you have the eu4/4? the across the ocean currency?
11:25 pm
Jera
I'm back... sorry for the confusion with my list... looking cross-eyed at the next word...
11:26 pm
Dianne
Hugs and Sfneil - thanks so much.
Neil, what part of the south are you from?
11:26 pm
sfneil
no worries, Jera... you saved me!
11:26 pm
Hugabugs
Hi Jera - did you watch CSI Miami?
11:27 pm
sfneil
Dianne: I'm from coastal North Carolina, near the South Carolina border (Charleston, etc.)
11:27 pm
Jera
No, it was a recording of the original... luv Miami as well, though!
11:28 pm
Hugabugs
Drats - I nodded off during a commercial and missed the last 10 minutes of tonight's Miami.
11:28 pm
Dianne
I am looking for the Do5 and Do4 (not animal, unemployemnt or the one that sounds like an exit).
Yes, thankss Hugs I have the eu/money.
11:29 pm
Dianne
Now Neil honey, my family would say your almost a southerner. Mine is from Mississippi.
11:29 pm
sfneil
do5 is biblical talk for 'you do' in the present tense
11:30 pm
Dianne
Neil - I need to spend a little time with The Good Book - thanks.
11:30 pm
Jera
I usually watch the recording the next day, ask me tomorrow afternoon...
11:30 pm
sfneil
But, Dianne, honey-chile... you must know you're always welcome to the real South! Come on in and set a spell!
11:31 pm
Jera
Neil, I grew up in NC... near Fayettville (in the middle)... went to college in Raleigh
11:31 pm
Dianne
If you got greens and cornbread with some nice ice tea I'll be right over.
11:31 pm
Hugabugs
Dianne - there are 2 that sound like an exit. I'm not sure which one is an animal though.
11:32 pm
sfneil
Jera, cool! People never believe me when I tell them that Fayetteville is actually pronounced 'fed-vul'!
11:33 pm
sfneil
Dianne, you will always find those in my home! I've got sweet tea and plain.
11:33 pm
Jera
Actually, it's Fayette-Nam... but that's a military joke...
11:33 pm
Dianne
Hugs - I can't read my own writing - not an animal but a person who does things. I should just sit the rest of this one out - I'm too discombobblated.
11:34 pm
sfneil
Yes... familiar with that, too, Jera!
11:34 pm
Jera
The 2 do's that sound like exit: one ends in a vowel, the other has a double consonant...
11:34 pm
Hugabugs
There's one that rhymes with goat
11:34 pm
Dianne
SFneil - what about "bolled" peanuts?
11:35 pm
Jera
Go Airborne! I'm an Air Force brat, my da was stationed at Pope AFB... I think they are closing it...
11:35 pm
Dianne
Hugs - thanks - got that one:)
11:35 pm
sfneil
I do boiled peanuts occasionally, but that's more of a mississippi/alabama thing (though they certainly can be found in the carolinas).
11:35 pm
Jera
But I dated a lot of Paratroopers back in the day... ah, the memories!
11:38 pm
Dianne
I wasn't born in Miss but spent some time there as a teenage and then later visiting my mom and family. But even thoough I was raised in New York i was raised by souther parents.........the osuth travels with you:)
11:39 pm
Dianne
Not only do I need to give up on this puzzle I also need to learn how to type and spell.
11:41 pm
sfneil
Dianne... it certainly does! I was born in NC, where both sides of my family had been for generations, but my dad was in the Coast Guard, so we moved all around... but every summer (my mom was a schoolteacher, so she had the summers off) we spent in North Carolina at her mom's/sisters' places. I'm a southerner who grew up all over America!
11:42 pm
Dianne
Honey chile - I have the south in my heart, a New York city accent and live in Hong Kong - talk about being confused!
11:44 pm
sfneil
Law' chile! And I forgot to mention I finished high school in the Netherlands! They had great fun trying to sort out my mother's accent.
11:48 pm
Dianne
When I was a teen I spent one school year in Miss and worked part time in the local department store - one day a gentleman cam in looking for step ins for his wife - I tried to sell him some backless sliippers - turns out he want underpants!
11:50 pm
Jera
You are just a man of the world, Neil! Me, I've never been out of the southeast, let alone the country. I keep threatening one day to just jump in the car & drive to the Canadian border... just to be able to say I've left the country. I'll come right back... probably...
11:53 pm
sfneil
Ah, Jera... the southeast is so lovely, though, in so many ways. Coming from there, it's almost a built-in nostalgia, which I can never hope to recover.
11:56 pm
Jera
It's funny, I grew up in the sandhills, now I don't know what I'd do without my mountains! I've spent the last 13 years in the incomparable Shenandoah Valley... absolutely gorgeous country...
11:59 pm
Jera
Here we go... next puzzle!!
