My icon was a poinsetta but it was a jpg file, so I changed it -- thought maybe that was what was slowing things up.

Wow, Griff -- what's the temp supposed to be?
2:19 am
MissyMe

k lotti cya :)
2:20 am
Griffums

Normal for us right now would be anywhere from +5 to +25. We had subzero over Thanksgiving. Chinook blew in a few days ago and everything is a mess, water on ice. Should be back to teens and 20's in another day or so.
2:21 am

Alaska
2:22 am

my husband wants to move there so bad. he was looking for jobs there this summer. i'm not sure if i could take the dark winter. is it as bad as they say?
2:22 am
GreyWoulf

It's kinda nice to know that weather is all screwed up everywhere instead of just by me :D
2:22 am
Griffums

Depends. Lots of choices. The difference between Ketchikan and Barrow is hours of daylight and decades of temperature!
2:23 am
Griffums

We've got the pineapple express blowing. Once that quits it'll be back to normal.
2:24 am
nava

wow. is it all bueatiful? had a relative in jeauno for a while
2:25 am
Griffums

It's beautiful in lots of places. And the places that aren't conventionally beautiful are places you just have to look a little closer to see it. All the windswept barren places have their own beauty. I love living by both the mountains and the sea.
2:27 am
sprite

Hi all, how's the grid?
2:27 am
Griffums

Hey sprite. It's not too bad.
2:27 am

2:46 am

y/w GW
2:46 am

I've seen it, Blaze, but I haven't tried it yet
2:46 am

Yeah, sudoku's a great game.
2:47 am

nice gw! congrats!
2:47 am
macadam

Yes it`s a good game.Have to go now.
2:47 am
sprite

Blaze: yes, don't start, it is addictive!
Woulf: a game of logic, very intelligently and beautifully made.
2:48 am
Blaze

thank you sprite...... do you think it has any value for a teen who needs something to do....??
2:48 am
nava

yeah, i've seen it. a friend of mine palys it alot. she really likes it. i'm not into numbers though. i can hardly handle these letters!
2:48 am
Griffums

Luckily it's one I am too peabrained to play.
2:49 am
sprite

Blaze: depends on the teen, I think. There isn't much action, but an ongoing challenge it is.
2:49 am
geefield95

Anyone can play, it just takes time. You pick it up pretty quickly though.
2:49 am
Ray100

Blaze - not new, been around for many years, quite addictive....
2:50 am
Blaze

thanks guys... I think I will get it for her for Christmas...
2:50 am
Blaze

I do not need another addiction at all....LOL
2:51 am
sprite

The rules are very easy: just place 9 symbols (mostly 1-9) in a grid, following only 3 rules. Part is given, the rest is up to you. But depending on what is given and what not, the difficulty differs.
2:51 am
geefield95

I'm new at this game. Only getting 4-5 letter words, a few 6's. Any help?
2:52 am
Griffums

Darn - I found the fish but the grid won't take it!
2:52 am
nava

what fish? clue
2:52 am
sprite

Sounds like you are doing very well, geefield!
Griffs... that is cruel! Could it be babble has grown over its liking for fish?
2:53 am
Griffums

No point in giving you a clue for a word it won't take! :D
2:53 am
GreyWoulf

geefield95 -- you're doing fine, this grid has primarily 4 and 5's today

To get a breakdown of the board, click on the Babblers Anonymous link in the Friends of Babble box, then General, to Daily Stats
2:53 am
nava

actually, wait. someone earlier said there was a fish. but then came back alter and said it didn't take. nevermind
2:54 am
sprite

Clue: a fish that won't bite :)
2:54 am
Griffums

No, sprite, not after 'rorqual' yesterday. Though I guess there'd be some debate on calling that a fish.

I call it a fish
2:54 am
Blaze

i found a bird does that count... a sky fish LOL
2:55 am
Griffums

The fish it won't take is mahi...
2:55 am
Blaze

I think mahi is actually maki
2:55 am
sprite

Rorqual? Wow, that would have been a challenge :)
Missed a few good grids, I guess. But passed my exams :)
2:56 am
Griffums

Not in mahi-mahi, it ain't! :)
2:56 am
Blaze

sprite congrats on your exam passing...
2:56 am

nice goin' sprite!
2:57 am

Thanks :D
But Griffs, then it should have been mahi-mahi in the grid, and since it can't have -... :(

We coulda typed it twice! :)

Glad to hear it, sprite -- congrats!

3:03 am
sprite

I am about to get dressed and go shopping with my daughter. Who has another day free of school... stupid idea, days off for young children because it would be to tough for them to make full weeks all the time. I can't remember being exhausted by school myself, ever. Fed up with it, yes. But too heavy a schedule? Government is crazy.
3:04 am
GreyWoulf

Hear, Hear, sprite!
3:04 am
Griffums

sprite! <sternly> The government ONLY has your best interest at heart!

okay I couldn't type that without laughing out loud
3:04 am
GreyWoulf

Btw, sprite - just downloaded the demo of paradoxian -- it's definitely my type of game! ;D
3:05 am
Blaze

In our area the school teachers went on strike for over 4 weeks... then there are still days off for Pro d days... They do need more money but... I am glad I do not have children in public school....
3:06 am

Had a feeling it might, Woulf! ;)
Stop sniggering, Griffs :)

Related? Nope...just all shoved into the same class :) I'm not related to anyone on here. But look, look, I have a picture of my metalwork teacher. Haven't stopped laughing for about a million years

Miyavi, do i just www. before that add?
3:40 am
Miyavi_fan

I think it should work just as it is...I hope so, anyway. You can see what sort of person is in charge of youth today o_O
3:42 am
Haz1558

You realise that teachers are probably showing pictures of their classes and saying ' Look what young people look like today!'
3:42 am
Miyavi_fan

Haz, you're probably right! *shudders* Luckily I usually duck out of most school photos.
3:43 am

No can`t get it Miyavi.....i`ll try again!!!

I imagine people will remember you without photographic evidence!!

Ah, don't worry! It's just...I never knew trousers could GO that high...
3:46 am
Miyavi_fan

Haz, what gives you that idea? *looks innocent*

...Apart from when my friend and I went into town dressed in visual kei. Even punks were avoiding us
3:47 am
Haz1558

Now, you're going to have to explain what visual kei is. Don't forget, I'm well over 40 and therefore seriously not with it!
3:47 am
lottijw

Whatever he`s like, he can`t be worse than my metal work teacher.....he was scarily more scruffy than any old Worzel!!!!! Eeeewwww
3:51 am
Miyavi_fan

Haz, Visual Kei is a very scary style of dress! My friend and I decided to cosplay as visual kei-ers, which means all black clothes, leather, pvc, fishnet, with spikes and scary makeup. Also madly dyed hair and massive shoes :D
3:52 am
Haz1558

Sounds like what I wear every day...
3:53 am
Miyavi_fan

Lotti, did yours sing?! I love singing along with Mr Ferguson in my metalwork classes! My favourites are his 'gasman' song and one of his own creations, 'hand vice early in the morning'
3:53 am

Oooh, Haz, am I seeing a hidden side?
3:54 am

I`m off to get my hair dyed today.....I don`t think it will be "madly" somehow!!!!! Although, i`m going darker for the first time ever !!! :)
3:55 am

I can just see my husband's face if he came home to a vision of me in black PVC! No, I'm just a boring mum - and a boring mum who has overstayed her 15 minutes! See you all later!

Deustch, funny. They actually have to bring them in from another state, when we do get the 1/2 inch we may see. And its like the Macy's Day parade when they come in like a convoy. People cheering and news hyping them up.

Hi all
Ishult, it is champagne and orange juice - what we would call a bucks fizz I guess. Personally I would call it a waste of champagne LOL
10:01 am

I don't like the stuff myself. The sum of the whole is not equal to the two parts. I'd rather have my champagne in one glass, and my oj in another.

Heart worm is something completely unknown in the UK, thank goodness, but the whole picture sounds nasty enough. What breed/age of pup?
10:40 am
trishtrash

Aww, Babs, that must be a worry. Truly hope it turns out to be nothing/easily managed. It's horrible when something is amis with the fluffy ones :/
10:41 am
Atalante

sorry to hear that Babs :( My pup wasn't very well yesterday, either - though as she's bouncing again today, I think it must have just been something horrid that she ate!
10:41 am
Babs1

he's a handsome 6yo Tibetan Terrier...never runs like my other 2, kinda quiet. I just gave him lots of supplements today, want to see if things change that way...





















10:42 am
Haz1558

If he's never exercised as hard as the other pups, he's maybe had a long-standing heart condition. I hope you get it sorted out.

Thanks all for your thoughts and caring! My approach with health for my animals and family is go for natural stuff first...lots of times at odds a bit with conventional medicine as a result.

10:45 am

we are so lucky with our vets - they feel the same, and are much more likely to tell you how to treat something naturally than stuff the furkids full of medicine - unless *necessary* of course!

12:04 pm

That person who ordered the cenus at the time of Jesus birth and change the first letter was very helpful. I think that may also be the name of a department store. (The sa5 clue) NOt sure of the store spelling. We don't have such places in little ole Dover, AR.

Speed gave the clue for de7 at 11:53

About 8 inches.... you know that accident at Midway Airport last nite where the plane skidded off the runway into traffic? A little 6 year old boy was killed... and 2 of his siblings are in critical condition. Can't get it off my mind. I am only 5 minutes away from Midway - the area is a mess. Plane is still in the street... very sad.

8:49 pm
torgone

I have been meaning to start a list of "non-words that sound like words" gleaned from Babble monkey-typing. I think it would be a great source of "words" to drop into serious conversations etc. That's why I haven't done it . .
8:50 pm

9:16 pm
GreyWoulf

Hi all!
Just passing by, thought I would stop in and see who was here :)

Babbler -- jsut saw the news today about the passing of an era -- No more double decker buses :(
9:17 pm
renfield

i am so totally distracted - mars attack - now roy orbison
9:17 pm
Babbler

marc - do5/12 - add a t on the end of do4/5 (past tense to do)

do4/6 - those curvy roofs on churchy buildings? drop the e

to5/18: just like your tall building, but the ending sounds like what you might yell if you dropped a brick on your foot when you were 5 years old.....
9:18 pm
GreyWoulf

Marc - do5/12 - add a consonant to the 4/5 just before it
9:19 pm
Babbler

hi GW, *hugs*! Yes, I saw the news today about route master buses too. Very sad. They're keeping a few running though. They're lovely to look at, and I've never seen anyone fall off one, but they did make me very very nervous! : )
9:22 pm
torgone

Now $1.57 in Babble stats. $0.30 left to get ..
9:23 pm
torgone

Roy Orbison = A god.
9:26 pm
torgone

Say it ain't so! Getting rid of the double-decker buses?!?!? I I have ridden the Tube, and a London Taxi, but not a DD bus yet. That was planned for the next trip..
9:27 pm
Babbler

i didn't watch the news closely, but i'm sure they only said the route master buses, not all double deckers. but i'll check........
9:27 pm
GreyWoulf

Sorry to have to be the bearer of the bad news, torgone

They are replacing the DD's with more handicapped friendly buses -- though they did mention that 1 or 2 would still be in operation on a limited line
9:27 pm
Marc Freeman

I love Roy Orbison. Did anybody know that he was Elvis' favorite singer? Just a bit of trivea.

Can you believe I have two words left both 4/5 one a 'do' and the other a 'ro' and have no way to describe them because they are among so many other 4/5's .

The ro is just after the 6/21
9:27 pm
72 Temple Owl

do5: past tense of to do; what one gives as a marriage portion...may i have a clue for the third please?
9:29 pm
GreyWoulf

Temple -- use the clue Bab just gave marc for the to5, except change the first letter :)
9:30 pm
evanonut

hello all - i heard the double deckers were going too. wasn't it the fault of one of us dang americans?
9:31 pm
Marc Freeman

Can you believe is I got the ro now just for the do
9:32 pm
GreyWoulf

evan - I didn't get any details like that, it was on my local news station
9:33 pm
72 Temple Owl

thanks, woulfie...would you believe i spent 75 hours in mont mall and came home empty handed? bad shopping day...
9:33 pm
evanonut

shopping - argh!
9:35 pm
72 Temple Owl

evanonut - you got that right!
9:35 pm
GreyWoulf

Temple - would you believe that you were only 2 minutes away from me today when you were at the mall?! ;)

I wish I'd known, you could have stopped by and had a cup of tea :)
9:35 pm
72 Temple Owl

ri 7 clue please?
9:36 pm
Marc Freeman

I got the to and I am done. Have to go to bed now. Must get up early. Take care all and thanks for all of your help.

Marc
9:36 pm
evanonut

i'm thinking of turning atheist just to get out of shopping
9:36 pm
72 Temple Owl

wohops! i meant di7...
9:36 pm
evanonut

night marc
9:37 pm
Babbler

T-Owl - di7 - your di5 (meaning 'as above), past tense

how are you? : )
9:37 pm
GreyWoulf

Temple - past tense of di5
9:37 pm
Marc Freeman

di7 take di5 which is when agrees again and make it passed tense.
9:38 pm
Babbler

i couldn't find anything in tomorrow's papers (online) about all double decker buses going. I definitely heard them say only route master buses (the ones with the open back and a pole you hold on to). But they're keeping a few in town, just cos you know, everyone loves them.
9:39 pm
evanonut

yeah, that's it. it's an americans fault - so sorry. bunch of sue happy freaks that we are. they did a whole big story on it here.
9:39 pm
72 Temple Owl

tired from shoverling - and obviously brain dead....i am missing so many 4 and 5 letter words it's pathetic...
how are you?
9:40 pm
Marc Freeman

I am going away for a week or so and may not be able to Babble. Iwill miss you all. LOL
9:40 pm
evanonut

something in common there marc
9:40 pm
GreyWoulf

evan - Just do what I do -- only buy what you WANT to buy for others, not what you feel obligated to buy -- It tends to go a lot easier on the wallet that way, and true friends understand that the gift represents your ongoing presence throughout the year :)
9:41 pm
renfield

marc - fun or business trip?
9:41 pm
Babbler

oh no, that's terrible if that's true, evanonut. oh dear. I haven't heard anything like that (but I've had my nose in a Babble grid every day, haven't I? not been paying attention to the news!
9:42 pm
evanonut

the story actually ran about a month or more ago babs.
9:42 pm
Marc Freeman

Some fun but mostly with wife's family. Lots of Rabbi's in her family and they drive me crazy. I try sit in a coner and watch and laugh inside.
9:42 pm
Babbler

T-Owl, I'm good, thanks. BabAnon wasn't up when I was playing, so I resorted to a2z, to my shame. The 4s and 5s still killed me. I spent an hour looking for an mo4 without realising I already had them all! durrrr! : /
9:43 pm
evanonut

well, we set limits grey. the main prob is that between over time and caring for my hubby, i don't really want to shop.
9:44 pm
Babbler

nope, I still would have missed the news a month ago too, evan... think I was visiting home then, hardly got near the tv at all... someone else always had the remote....
9:44 pm
72 Temple Owl

i may have to resort to the word list - no one would even know what i was asking forwhen there are 6 or seven of that length...i could list what i do have but that doesn't always work. is ez board up now?
9:45 pm
GreyWoulf

evan -- I hate shopping on GP -- I am the type that if I want to buy a gift for a friend and I have the money I do it -- I don't need a special holiday set aside to justify it :)
9:45 pm
evanonut

well babs, there are MANY who would consider missing the news a good thing.
9:45 pm
Babbler

it came back a few hours ago... should be there now....
9:46 pm
evanonut

an interesting story, for anyone who is interested...it involves...M.U.R.D.E.R.
9:46 pm
Babbler

lol evan : ) I find it depressing. it's mostly gossip and speculation anyway. you get the news in the headline! (well, I'm exaggerating, but you know what i mean!)
9:47 pm
evanonut

it's a big local story right now, some poor guy was murdered and burned in a dumpster, then the dumpster owners thought he was a mannequin, and burned him again!
9:47 pm
evanonut

do ya'll follow me so far?
9:47 pm
Babbler

:o !!! that's horrible! omg.
9:48 pm
72 Temple Owl

da5?
9:48 pm
Babbler

.... there's more?
9:48 pm
GreyWoulf

Just googled a news story re:buses -- according to it, there will be a couple of them kept on two 'heritage' routes for the tourists, but they will no longer be part of the regular service

No mention of lawsuits having any involvement
9:48 pm
Babbler

da5 - just like your early morning, with an extra vowel
9:49 pm
evanonut

okay, thanks babs...so heres some more of the story.

three roomates, two of them think the third is stealing from them. so the tie him up and burn him and torture him for like a month.
9:50 pm
Babbler

9:50 pm
torgone

Yikes!
9:50 pm
evanonut

on the final torture, they soaked his t-shirt in gasoline, put it on him and set him in the tub and lit him. that is what did this poor guy in. and as i'm watching the story, i'm thinking to myself "what kind of sick individual does this?"
9:51 pm
evanonut

so a couple of days later, they caught the sick-o's, and it turns out i knew one of them. not only did i know them, but i thought she was a nice person!
9:51 pm
GreyWoulf

evan - where are you located, cos I have not heard this story at all
9:52 pm
Babbler

how old were they? like teenagers/20s?

that's a truly horrific story. evil people!
9:52 pm
evanonut

i'm apparently a horrible judge of character.
9:52 pm
evanonut

grey - western pennsylvania

probably can find it at butlereagle.com
9:52 pm
Babbler

she ????? i assumed they were all young men??
9:52 pm
GreyWoulf

evan -- I hope not! Cos then what would that say ablut the rest of us? ;D
9:53 pm
evanonut

all but her, she was 23. i went to school with her, and she came in the bank i worked at all the time.
9:53 pm
Babbler

it's no reflection on you evan that this evil person hid her nature from you with sweet smiles.
9:54 pm
evanonut

anyway, i really do feel bad, even if i ntroduced it in cat in the hat style.
9:54 pm
torgone

There is so much evil in the world. And so little of it is known to most people..
9:54 pm
Babbler

ok, i know i don't want to know the answer, but did you happen to see her while all this was taking place?
9:55 pm
evanonut

no thank heaven, it's been over a year.
9:55 pm
GreyWoulf

evan - just hit the website, but because it's the papers online site I can't read the article w/o buying a subscription
9:55 pm
evanonut

sorry grey, if i had a scanner, i'd email it to you, but i don't
9:55 pm
Marc Freeman

evan, I am driving to Erie tomorrow. Are you from Erie?
9:56 pm
evanonut

no marc, i'm from butler, and next week i'll be from pittsburgh.
9:57 pm
Babbler

well that's something. phew. dont feel bad. well, you're probably sick to your stomach, but don't feel bad that you didn't suspect. it had nothing to do with you.
9:57 pm
GreyWoulf

It's ok, evan -- not really that eager to read more about the evil in the world ;)
But it is disconcerting when you actually get to see the face of evil and it isn't on an ugly troll
9:57 pm
evanonut

erie? hmm, wonder if the roads will be clear...
9:58 pm
evanonut

yeah, not that i think i could do anything, i only feel bad for not thinking "gee, she's an odd one." or something like that.
9:59 pm
Marc Freeman

Got to go. Good luck to one and all.
9:59 pm
evanonut

well grey, if you want to get technical, she wasn't really a looker.
9:59 pm
evanonut

lol evan! that's the spirit! : )
10:00 pm
zubie

Hello :D
10:00 pm
torgone

You can't do anything about people who major in deception.
10:01 pm
GreyWoulf

evan - it's a common theme in literature, TV, and movies that until the specific trigger flips, a person can fly under the radar and seem like there is nothing going on behind the scenes -- reason being because it is mopre common than the monsters
10:01 pm
Babbler

well howdy doodly, zube. how are you? how's your ankle?

oh, evan! how's your hand healing up?
10:01 pm
evanonut

yep, anyway, i wanted to tell someone that. haven't even told my hubby yet.
10:01 pm
GreyWoulf

Hi zubie!!
10:02 pm
zubie

Ankle's much better, Babbler. :D Thanks for asking.

I'm good - just wondering whether I dare start the grid this late. :D
10:02 pm
zubie

Hi GW :D :D
10:02 pm
evanonut

oh pretty good babs. thanks for asking. it finally started hurting.
10:02 pm
evanonut

just do it zubie
10:03 pm
Babbler

you what??? 2 hours? well, knowing you, that's not impossible..... ; )
10:03 pm
evanonut

do it do it doit doit!
10:04 pm
Babbler

I'm glad to hear that, evan (I think!). I wasn't too heavy handed with the kick up the backside to get you to seek help, was I? I'm good at that..... ask Zubie..... : /
10:05 pm
evanonut

nah, probably i should have, but since it didn't get infected, it all worked out for the best.
10:05 pm
zubie

Well, evan, with such support, how could I dare NOT do it? ;D I can at least try! Looks like an unfriendly grid, though.

Haha Babbler. I'm not good at babbling, you know.
10:05 pm
GreyWoulf

Zubie - it only took me a little over 2 1/2 hours to finish this AM with only 2 or 3 clues from others, so get in there and start hunting!
10:06 pm
evanonut

ha zube! i'm awful, that's why i'm encouraging you. now go get those words!
10:06 pm
Babbler

you'll walk it, Zubie. there are a few odd words, but overall, you should get them. : )
10:07 pm
zubie

Thanks, evan. :) You too, Babbler.

GW - 2 1/2 hours? :o That's quick.
10:08 pm
evanonut

well, just look at me, all the way up to 65. he he.
10:09 pm
GreyWoulf

zubie

187 words

4 letter = 105
5 letter = 59
6 letter = 18
7 letter =5

10:10 pm
GreyWoulf

with so many little words it wasn't that hard to get to the halfway point and then the 2nd letter list let me figure out most of the rest by calculation ;)
10:11 pm
evanonut

or you could just monkey type like yours truly
10:12 pm
GreyWoulf

Oh, I did that too, but when you know the point score it helps limit the number of combos you need to try :D
10:13 pm
evanonut

i dunno, if it require thought or calculation, i'm not usually so good at it.
10:14 pm
GreyWoulf

then that's what we're here for, evan - to help you avoid needless calculations that interfere with your fun and enjoyment ;D
10:14 pm
zubie

Thanks, GW. 63 so far.

Sorry I'm not talking!
10:15 pm
evanonut

i shall call it a night with 75 - you all take care.

10:24 pm
Jacula

Oh well. I dunno! I come here after a hard day's graft. Well, washing, cooking, sweeping, writing Xmas cards and lots of letters to go in with them, ad paying ut the postage... sigh! Yes, the grid was finished hours ago. Anyway, as I was saying, I arrive here and find you've all finished and gone. LOL.
10:26 pm
Babbler

t-owl, you're probably missing di4/10, use the z

hi jacula! : )
10:26 pm
GreyWoulf

1st di4/6 -- turns down the lights
2nd di4/5 -- the short beeps in morse code
3rd di4/10 -- a descriptor applied to an airhead
10:26 pm
GreyWoulf

Hi Jacula
(*hug*)
10:28 pm
Jacula

di4/6 - what a chap does to the lights when he's trying to seduce you.

di4/5 - the dots, rather than the dashes in Morse Code.

di4/10 - what 'a blonde type' may be described as, but it usually has a 'y' at the end.
10:29 pm
Jacula

Hi Wolfie and Babbler.:-)
10:29 pm
GreyWoulf

zubie is here too Jac, but she is busy in the grid as she just got started :)

10:32 pm
Jacula

Wolfie. Zubie is here? First off, a belated happy birthday to you Zubie. 2nd - Thank you so much for all your 'chatty' clues on 8th Dec. Without them, I wouldn't have got half of the words that I did. My brain wasn't working after a night all awake! So, THANK YOU!
10:32 pm
GreyWoulf

*whispers to zubie* - she's leaving so you can talk again

Sorry to see you go, Babbler! -- See you tomorrow/later!

10:34 pm

Glad you liked the clues, Jacula! It was my excuse to hang around - couldn't tear myself away. ;D

*Mystified* Thanks for the birthday wishes, but...? I mean, it isn't my birthday! [I'll take them, anyway. :D Unless you meant them for someone else :D]
10:34 pm

Good thing you qualified that last remark, Renfield! LOL.

10:36 pm
Jacula

Zubie - It was someone's birthday on Bab that day. Not yours? Never mind! Have the champers and chocs anyway; you deserve them after giving all those brilliant clues. Any help I can give you now, just ask.
10:38 pm
GreyWoulf

Jac -- maybe nava?
10:38 pm
zubie

Ahhh! No, it wasn't mine. I think it was one of the eva's birthday that day!

:D Not sure whose. Not mine, anyway. Mine's October. I can still have the chocolate, right?

[GW - they're making me talk! ;D]
10:39 pm
GreyWoulf

zubie - Oct when? My b-day is oct 19
10:40 pm
Jacula

10:41 pm
Jacula

There's a mixture of icons on here right now. Is there a theme?
10:41 pm
Jacula

Oh dear! I seem to have lost either the ability to type or the ability to spell!
10:41 pm
GreyWoulf

Jac - today was zztop, but Babbler declared tomorrow to be shoes, so some of us are trying them on since it is so late
10:42 pm
zubie

GW - Believe it or not, I was just thinking that you were going to say that yours is Oct, too.

Care to guess which date mine is? :D
10:43 pm
GreyWoulf

10:43 pm

Wolfie. Oh no! Not shoes! That's a genetic Imelda Marcos type 'blip' in our family, on both sides. Both ex-hubby and myself have that thing, as do our mothers and their mothers before ad infinitum, despite finances back then. You can 'long for' but not buy! EEK!

10:46 pm
GreyWoulf

I'm not into shoes, personally, Jac -- hence my icon -- it's hard to make out, but the wolf puppy is cute and the shoes in the pic make it qualify ;D

10:48 pm
Jacula

Scatty - I'm a night owl who once used to work nights. Shouldn't be up now, but have been writing Xmas cards and personal letters to go in with them half the day and half the night. Yes, I did try that 'Jacula and The Family have....' kind of Round Robin thing one year. But it really wasn't 'me'! LOL.
10:48 pm

scatty

Jacula, because i have a bad back i tend to sleep all over the place, due to medication, the last ime i had more than an hours sleep it was wed, early hours of the morning, at least you have started your xmas cards, i wrote my first one to my sister in Aussie land tonight, best I get moving with my annual letter writing so i can get the cards out
11:00 pm
Kelstar

11:03 pm
72 Temple Owl

welll i am finally finished! i found this one very hard, to be honest...
11:03 pm
Jacula

Scatty - I've read your bio and I realise you may not sleep so well. Must be bloody frustrating after having had an active time. A fsrm's no place not to be bodily fit. I know that! Not being bitchy, I promise. Re the blitz clue - I know! It's the best clue to have given for all sides of the Pond.
11:04 pm
scatty

its nice having someone to chat to, sometimes when i join in everybody are in deep conversation and its hard to join in sometimes
11:04 pm
Kelstar

I did finish earlier -waiting for the next one now
11:05 pm
Jacula

Kelstar - that's great to hear! Mind you... are there any jobs that need doing around the house? Take a look around.... ROFLOL. If not, then CONGRATS!
11:06 pm

11:06 pm

11:06 pm
GreyWoulf

scatty -- I'll keep an eye out for you in the future -- if the current thread is too deep to dive in we can make a new one to fit! ;)
11:07 pm
Jacula

Wolfie - don't blame me for your typing errors! I have enough troubel trying to explain my own, since I am one of the now very rare, trained touch typists!
11:08 pm
GreyWoulf

scatty - just click on the blue/pink purselike icon next to a persons name
11:09 pm
scatty

Wolfie, the last time i tried to join in there were fireworks going off every few minutes, sometimes i have to go back down the messages to try and work out what everybody's talking about
11:09 pm
GreyWoulf

Jac - I too have been trained in the art of touch typing -- never had much use for it after high school until I started playing Babble ;D

My typing speed and accuracy has jumped dramatically since I started playing!
11:11 pm
Jacula

Oh, lol, Kelstar. Sorry, it was you mentioning Italian greyhounds. While I was writing my cards earlier, I had BBC2, The Jonothan Ross Show on. He was 'interviewing' Will Young. He asked Will if he wanted a pet once his worload subsided. He said, 'Yes. I'd like a dog. I was looking at Italian Greyhounds this week. I don't want to be the gay batchelor with the tiny dog!' I thought of a friend of mine, who's gay, but not unattached. He has a dachshund, a puppy. He old (other little dog) died at end of last year. I thought of my friend but I wasn't laughing at him.
11:12 pm
zubie

Grr. Got thwarted by the current. Back now. :/
11:12 pm
GreyWoulf

scatty -- I have the same issue -- I usually have at least two windows open at the same time so that I can try to keep up with the log -- otherwise I jump down to write a reply and once it posts I have no clue what's going on cos the threads have jumped track :D
11:12 pm

Hey Zubie, Wolfie's given you 'permission' to speak again now. Need any clues?
11:23 pm
Jacula

Scatty - write as much in your bio as you like but don't make it so personal that a hacker can get at you, whether that be a forum hacker or a govt. hacker. Also, don't give trolls and toads any ammo.
11:24 pm

11:31 pm
scatty

Jacula, where in uk roughly do you live............ I have just up dated my bio by teh way
11:32 pm

11:35 pm

Sheila - that only happens, at least from me, when we're 2 mins into the end of a grid. And even then I tend to post acronyms or the like. i.e. The grid is Ending Now. Oh Well! (ENOW)
11:35 pm
sheilasu

LOL! Got that one. TY
11:36 pm
Jacula

Scatty - they idn't do it on purpose! They're just being what life's programmed them to be - awkward kids! Well, that's what my kids tell me when I moan at them!
