12:03 am

Jacula

No Wolfie. Like I said, I jut spotted my new desktop pic, put on there by Other Half. He is naked except for a Santa beard and hat!

renfield

12:04 am

Jacula

Renfield- you can have the mouse for supper. Then go to your bunk.

12:05 am

GreyWoulf

Jac - I don't think I need to hear any more :)

12:05 am

zubie

GW - off to the corner with you!

12:05 am

zubie

You meant h 4 5!

12:06 am

Jacula

LOL, Wolfie! He's only trying to draw my attention away from the new grid.;-)

12:07 am

GreyWoulf

Ah!!! I haven't even looked at the board seriously -- I didn't know!
(*pouts*) -- Do I gotta?

12:08 am

Jacula

106 words, I think my servant, Renfield, said?

12:08 am

Well GW, [considers] since the cookies were so nice, we'll let you off this time, won't we, everyone?

Hi C-nan!

Hello what is the icon for today... please...

12:10 am

cybernan

Ah, but some nice words with that dreaded tile!

12:10 am

GreyWoulf

Bread today, Blaze

12:11 am

Jacula

hi, Cybernan.

America - A Horse With No Name playing now.

CJ162003

am i the only one having a hard time with this grid?

12:12 am

Blaze

this grid will be a tough one.... now that second en 7 is got me on the run...

12:12 am

GreyWoulf

and an en7/48

12:14 am

Blaze

got it... and the wet fish....

12:14 am

Blaze

gw how is the back tonight ??

12:14 am

Jacula

Not looked seriously at grid yet.

12:16 am

GreyWoulf

Doing better, Blaze -- I've been taking it fairly easy by not bending too much and have been taking meds left over from when it acted up over the summer :)

I was very happy to find that I was able to dance with my daughter today with no probs whatsoever :D

12:17 am

Blaze

that sounds wonderfull...

12:19 am

cybernan

You're right GW -- one of my en 7's was actually the 48, not a 40

12:19 am

GreyWoulf

It was great -- I was able to properly introduce her to Xmas carols this year.

But the CD she loved the best was a Royal Guardsman disc I have which has all three Snoopy vs. the Red Baron songs on it... She is on a serious Snoopy kick right now :D

12:21 am

GreyWoulf

c-nan - thanks for clearing that up for me, I was getting confused when I saw the E already greyed out ;)

12:21 am

licketySplitAUS

grey... I spent 5 weeks in hospital because of my back!

12:22 am

GreyWoulf

lickety -- what was wrong?

12:23 am

licketySplitAUS

grey... lifted a jogger pram the wrong way... doc said because I had my babies only one year apart... my back didn't recover. the S1 is very sensitive at times and need to rest as much as possible

12:25 am

Jacula

Lickety - know what you mean about your back! Same prob. here. Your back muscles, some of which support those that band around and under the womb soften, in order to aid birth. Go 'too quick' between births and you're knackered for life.

12:25 am

GreyWoulf

My sympathies, lickety -- at least I don't have that prob -- tho it may be a herniated disc -- just can't afford to get back to the doc to confirm :(

Next year - definitely

12:26 am

licketySplitAUS

Poor Grey.... Thanks god for free health care in this country!

12:26 am

Jacula

I went a bit longr between my two - first born May 84 and 2nd March 87, but it still happened. Wasn't too bad after first, but after 2nd back and bladder muscles were damaged.

12:29 am

Jacula

Health care's still sort of 'free' here, too. Mind you, in view of the news saying if you get overweight, smoke or drink too much you may not now be treated on NHS, I'm sure it won't be too long until the 'crime' of giving birth will also be discriminated against.

12:29 am

licketySplitAUS

Jac, by the time my son was due, I couldn't walk at all, had to be in hospital for 3 weeks until he was 37wks then the docs induced me (OWWW!)
I had an 11 month old baby at home and she wasn't allowed to stay with me in the hospital

12:30 am

Jacula

Lickety - being separated from your newborn is the very worst thing.:-(

12:30 am

sprite

Today I must not babble... today I must not babble... today I must not.... but what if it is a small one... just one peek... ah come on, who am I fooling??
Morning gang...

12:31 am

GreyWoulf

LOL , Hi sprite
(*hug*)

12:31 am

Blaze

good morning

12:31 am

cybernan

GW -- can you get either acetezone forte or parafon forte in the states? Both are an anelgesic/muscle relaxant combo -- keep the muscles in your back from going into a spasm when you're having a lot of back pain.

12:32 am

licketySplitAUS

I have been hospitalized so many times, the kids think it is normal! If I say I am going on a business trip for a few days, they freak out... If I say I am going to hospital for a few weeks, they open the door for me and wave good-bye!!

12:32 am

zubie

[achoo-achoo-achoo-achoo-grida llsblursup-achoo!]

12:33 am

spatialbean

wow bless you zubie

12:33 am

cybernan

20 minutes and only 46 words -- this is going to be tough!

12:33 am

sprite

A quick read through the log tells me all is not well in babble land! Sorry to hear you are in pain, Woulf :( :(
My heartfelt sympathies for all of you...

12:33 am

Blaze

Yes, Zubie.... I was in the cold world last week.... Nyquil and Dayquil kept me going..( actually the store brand --doing the same thing).... LOTS of fluids....LOL

12:34 am

zubie

Blaze - I'll give you my nose for free!

12:34 am

CJ162003

ive been here for 35 min and i have 12 words

12:35 am

Jacula

They did the separation thing on me when I was forced into hospital when having my first, since he was stubbornly breech and coming 3 weeks early. Still had him naturally though! Apparently, I was the first in 21 years to do so in that hospital. They looked up when their 'last stubborn bitch of a mother' was, turned out it was one of my aunties. Oh ROFLOL.

Had my second, 3 days late, at home. Was the best experience ever. Could have had a cuppa and done it again just to see the look on the husband's, midwife's, student midwife's, and GP's faces again. I didn't need to feel the wonder again because I've felt it ever since. I'll never forget that I performed a miracle, even if it was an everyday one!

12:35 am

licketySplitAUS

CJ I hear you!!

12:36 am

licketySplitAUS

Jac, that is beautiful!!

12:36 am

sprite

Can't have a tough one today, I don't have the time :)
First two words were 7s! Beautifully placed Q today.

12:37 am

Jacula

Lickety - beautiful and true.

12:37 am

samirosecho

this is hard, been here 35 minutes too, 43 words, and really blanking on anymore

12:37 am

Blaze

althoug birth happens everyday... it is a miracle... especailly when you do it or you watch it... I had two of my own and watched my four grandchilren being born... it was the most awesome experience....

12:37 am

Jacula

Sprite. I'll start typing words in. We can do it together.:-)

12:38 am

sprite

A joint venture then, Jacula!
Love your post about you giving birth :)

12:38 am

Jacula

Blaze - it never fails to amaze me, given all the births there are, how many go right rather than 'wrong'. Nature is a wonderful thing!

12:39 am

Blaze

I truly is.... and the mothers are marvelous too....

12:39 am

licketySplitAUS

My little miracles are sitting here, watching me typing, and begging for food! Better go do dinner!!

12:40 am

Jacula

Lickety - yes, feed the little darlings, but be sure to give them cooking lessons as you do so!

12:40 am

GreyWoulf

site ate my post!

C-nan -- can prob get drugs with Dr's Rx - but vcan;t afford to go right now

Truly, the back is more inconvenient than severe -- I was dancing with and swinging my daughter around today with no ill effects -- it may have even helped!

But thanks for your concern everyone -- it does feel nice to be on the receiving end sometimes :D

(((*hugs to all*)))

12:40 am

sprite

Have to go down and make my little wonders some breakfast. Funny thing, time zones combined with internet :D Back soon...

12:41 am

Jacula

Sprite - Have just put my 1st word in. It was accepted. Your turn!

12:42 am

luvmypom

Just have to jump in to the "birthing" conversation -- I've borne 6 children ... ages 16 - 30 now. All of them natural -- no problems excepting some minor back problems. It really is a miracle the way nature works, isn't it? :-) (btw, 3 of 6 were 10 or 10+ lbs! Ouch!!!)

12:43 am

cybernan

GW - those are both 'over the counter' -- work really well for me -- I have a collapsed disc that bothers me sometimes.

12:43 am

licketySplitAUS

Jac, my kids need more than cooking lessons... "keep your food on the plate... don't lie down when you are eating... don't feed the dog that!!...use the fork Luke!!"

12:43 am

GreyWoulf

I was with Kirsten the whole day as they induced her due to pre eclampsya concerns -- unfortunately, baby got stuck and didn't want to come out so after 12 hours they did an emergency c-section -- the experience was still awe inspiring --- My hat is off to all the mothers in the room tonight
(*salutes*)
:)

12:45 am

GreyWoulf

c-nan -- I'll check them out then :)

Speaking of Kirsten, time for me to rub HER back -- back in a few :)

12:46 am

Jacula

Lumypom - 10lbs and over? OWWWWWWWWWWW!

Wolfie - I gave you the back-rubbing instructions for during birth, I think?

12:47 am

luvmypom

I think we need to clone GW -- he seems too good to be true. During the delivery of #6, my hubby sat in the recliner and watch ESPN. Seen it before he said. lol

12:47 am

Jacula

Lickety - Know just what you mean about the kids!

Going off into a trance now - fave song of all time is in my headphones. Does anyone remember what that is?

12:48 am

CJ162003

i agree luvmypom we need to clone him.

12:48 am

luvmypom

Yup -- my biggest was 10'4" -- looked like a 3 mo old in the nursery. All cheeks and blonde hair -- my own cabbage patch doll. :-)

12:50 am

Jacula

luvmypom - Is your hubby a big chap, or are you, or are are you diabetic? Those really are huge babies!

12:50 am

Blaze

I still need 47 words and it is getting really slow now..... WA WA.....:D

12:51 am

Blaze

bigger babies seem to be more common now as a days...

12:51 am

CJ162003

blaze good luck i don't think i'll make it that far

12:51 am

Jacula

Blaze - don't panic! I've looked half-seriously at the grid and got 30 words out of the 35 I tried. There's no rush.

12:52 am

Blaze

I am not in a panic... it will be clear as mud when the Brandy jack list comes out.... LOL
does anyone know if he saw the tributes yesterday ??

12:53 am

Jacula

Just flipping my fave song back to the beginning, since it's the single version and not the live version. As I asked before, does anyone remember what song this is? If I die right next to you and you don't have me 'sent off' the the live version, I'll haunt you! LOL.

12:54 am

Blaze

No idea..... I am looking for the George Strait sugar cookies song.... anyone have any ideas ??

12:56 am

luvmypom

I'm 5'4", and my hubby is 6'4". No diabetes at all, just good hardy birthin' stock I guess. lol My sister has 9/10 pounders too. My smallest was 8'7", 8'12" and 9'. Then 10' , 10'4", and 10'2". It's take three gyno surgeries to put me back together. I'm still waiting for the tummy tuck! lol

12:57 am

Jacula

Well,Blaze, my all time fave song is....

Wolfie? Do you remember?

12:58 am

luvmypom

Jacula -- I give up -- what is the song? I wouldn't want you to win the lottery and die from shock, and us not knowing which song to bury you to. :-)

12:58 am

Blaze

Jac I do remember you telling us but I just do not have good recall skills.....

1:00 am

CJ162003

something by the beach boys?

1:00 am

Jacula

Luvmypom - (Aussie married to a UK bloke?? - Just trying to guess origin of screen name.) I'm only 5' 1" and not quite 2". My ex-hubby was/is 6'. New partner is 6' 2". I have had a few shorter than 6' boyfriends, but, in the main, since I was in my teens, I seem to have attracted big tall chaps.

1:00 am

Blaze

I think it is more up scale... and a female singer....

1:01 am

Jacula

All time fave song - make a note of it please - is Lynyrd Skynyrd's live version of 'Freebird' (sometimes listed as 'Free Bird').

1:02 am

Blaze

Now that I did not know.... it rocks my socks off... I must get a listen now... hmmmm but how....??

1:02 am

Jacula

Tallest boyfriend was 6' 6".

1:03 am

CJ162003

great group... my favorite song they sing is "sweet home alabama"

1:03 am

GreyWoulf

I'm back!

Have just scanned the log and have to say that my ears are burning a little -- my only reaction to the cloning comments are a warning that cloning does not guarantee that the personality would be the same

1:03 am

Jacula

Well, Blaze if you send me your e-mail addy (and it's one that can cope with sound files) through BabAnon, then I can send you the track direct.

1:04 am

sprite

Reading that warning, I will not read through the log, Woulf ;)
Back as well and ready to hunt some nice words. Wasn't yesterday's grid a sweetie?

1:04 am

Jacula

CJ lots of numbers - I was playing that track earlier.

1:04 am

GreyWoulf

Jac - I must admit that I did not remember off the top of my head about 'Freebiird', but since I am not your bloke, I don't lose as many points! :D

1:04 am

zubie

Blaze - you need just 48 more? How many do you have now?

1:05 am

cybernan

61 and going nowhere fast -- think I'll leave it until tomorrow. Good night all.

1:05 am

CJ162003

jac i live in alabama so its a song i hear often

1:06 am

Jacula

Wolfie - since you are not 'my bloke', yes, you do get let off that one. But you most note it now or points will be taken off you in future! Wolfie's the Babbleonia First Gentleman, btw, folks.

1:06 am

luvmypom

Jacula , Freebird - live version. Now noted so not to worry.

High school sweethearts -- me drill team captain, him basketball team captain. Kinda makes you cringe, huh? He's a University basketball coach now ... I'm taking a few years off after being a middle school secretary for 20 years. Loved the school kids a lot... I miss them.

1:07 am

GreyWoulf

That's fair, Jac ;)

1:07 am

luvmypom

Okay GW -- no dna sample required then. You make a valid point about the personality issue. But would the massage skills still be intact do you think? :D

1:08 am

Blaze

Jac on babanon free bird topic

1:09 am

Jacula

Blaze - have you already done it or are you suggesting it as a way of posting the song?

1:09 am

GreyWoulf

in part, lovemypom -- I seem to be a natural talent on the massage front-- Kirsten finetuned me since she is a trained masseusse -- but I manage to find all the trouble spots and hit them in just the right way to loosen them up with minimal exertion :)

1:09 am

Blaze

Jac it is done

1:10 am

Jacula

Cybernan - don't give up yet! There must be hours to go that you can take the grid to pen and paper and have a go in yet?

1:10 am

sprite

And that cannot be replicated, I am sure, Woulf ;)
Anyone babbling? It is a nice grid, this one, too! 65 and still on a roll :D

1:11 am

luvmypom

My hubby can tape ankles. That's the extent of his therapeutic abilities. *laugh*

1:13 am

CJ162003

ok i'm completely stuck now... i don't like this grid

1:13 am

Blaze

i am down to 40 words

1:13 am

luvmypom

Hey Jac, my screen name is for my new little girl Sophie, my 4 lb. pomeranian. I'm curious as to the Aussie/UK connection you mentioned. Am I missing something?

1:14 am

sprite

H.Jane is back in the grid too :D

1:15 am

zubie

48 words and I'm sneezing too much to be able to look at this grid with anything other than twinkly, watery, lemony eyes. I think I'll give up.

1:16 am

Blaze

see you in the morning Zubie... get some sleep take some decongestants... or a nice hot lemon drink...

1:16 am

spatialbean

lemon eyes! oh no

1:16 am

CJ162003

get some rest zubie, hope you feel better

1:17 am

zubie

Actually, Blaze. This will be my last grid for a while. Off on vacation and probably won't be able to babble.

1:17 am

spatialbean

I've only got 49 and i'm not sick.

have a good rest zoobs

Chessy

thanx for the word list GreyWoulf - most useful :)

1:19 am

CJ162003

ty GW need all the help i can get

1:19 am

Jacula

lumypom - just took your screen name literally and thought your were an Aussie in love with a Brit. (Australians call we Brits 'whingeing Poms'. LOL.)

1:20 am

GreyWoulf

zubie -- sorry you are not up to par -- happy you stuck it out as long as you did though :)

Enjoy your holidays and I'll send you the snow pics as soon as I can :D

((((((*HUG*))))))

1:20 am

zubie

Ok, bye everyone. If you wish to message me, I'm zubie@babblersanonymous ; You'll have to mail me that way when PMing me from inside babanon and using their message feature. Strange, I know. :D

1:20 am

Jacula

Zubie - have a good, no a great, holiday!

1:20 am

zubie

Thanks, GW. I'll be looking forward to it.

(((hugs everyone)))

1:21 am

(((zubie))) feel better.....

1:21 am

sprite

Enjoy your holidays, zubie, and I hope you feel well soon!
*whispers very softly: done. 1064 points to find today. Average word length is 4.68. Nice grid.*

1:21 am

GreyWoulf

Time for me to catch up to everyone else -- I only have 18 words on my list so far! :D

1:22 am

zubie

Thanks. I will. I'm out of here now.

[Leaves, carrying the plate! ;D]

1:22 am

Chessy

sprite - you are awesome!

1:22 am

Jacula

Heck Wolfie! Concentrate man! I have 34, even with head-banging along the way! LOL.

1:22 am

GreyWoulf

zubie - you'll just have to bring it back filled! ;D

1:22 am

CJ162003

wtg sprite

1:22 am

zubie

[Returns to scowl at sprite and hug her. Done? You! OH well. :D Woohoo!]

1:22 am

Blaze

Sprite thank you and have a great day.... any surprise words.....??

1:23 am

zubie

I will, GW. Fruit cake? My favourite :D I hope you like it too.

1:23 am

GreyWoulf

Jac - I don't have Brandyjacks access to the board stats -- I had to make my list the old fashioned way! :D

1:23 am

Blaze

ohhh that reminds me... I need some snacks.... and a drink of water....

1:24 am

GreyWoulf

Homemade Fruitcake? I'm there!! ;D

1:24 am

Blaze

jac what day is your fruit cake coming out ??

1:25 am

zubie

Yayy! You like fruitcake too! :D

Of course, homemade! :D The best kind!

1:26 am

GreyWoulf

most store bought fruitcake is only good for one thing -- being a paperweight -- way too many preservatives weighing it all down

1:26 am

sprite

Blaze: nothing we haven't seen before. The Ey-department is interesting today and the Y is used quite a lot, both for endings and in the middle of words. A few of the usual (anoa-like) suspects are in the grid too ;)

1:26 am

Jacula

Oops! Got 40 words now.

Wolfie - Do you mean you want to come and eat my Christmas cakes, or that you want the recipe? A bit late for this year, though I can give you a Caribbean recipe that would just about work and one for D undee cake. Just as good! Am icing cakes later today or sometime tomorrow.

1:27 am

Blaze

thanks sprite... getting them slowly.... my daughter is staying with me and is taking an interest in the game... oh oh....

1:28 am

zubie

Ok 50 is a good place to stop. I'm really out of here now before I sneeze the grid into virtual ether and out of your reach! :D

1:28 am

Jacula

Lyn Skyn's 'That Smell' playing now. Nothing personal folks, but lyrics quite apt considering we are talking about home-baked cakes.

1:29 am

sprite

You are SUCH a great mother, Blaze :D
Bye all, I got to run now, way too little time today for anything. Hence my rushing through the grid and too little chatting away. Have a great day/night/whatever, all of you. Hugs all, and a special one for Woulf ;)

1:29 am

GreyWoulf

Jac - I would love to jump the pond and sample from your table! :D

1:29 am

Jacula

Zubie - you are obviously a female snot factory, just like my step-daughter! LOL.

1:30 am

GreyWoulf

(*Big Hug for sprite*)

1:30 am

GreyWoulf

(((*HUG for zubie*)))

Feel better, and don't forget your fluids!
:D

1:31 am

zubie

Lol, Jacula! :D I'm going. I'm going now.

1:31 am

CJ162003

20 word and stopping... time to see if i can get some sleep. see you all later

1:31 am

zubie

Fluids! Right - I'll go and get water now. :D Bye GW bye everyone.

1:32 am

Jacula

Wolfie - For now, I'll give you the recipes as and when I can. Wasn't sure anyone was actually reading or using the BabAnon recipe thread! But, you and your family may well sample the food for real one day. Both me and 'him, either in bed or out on the road' love cooking, and we're both good cooks.

1:33 am

Jacula

Zubie - don't forget to take my water filter jug up to bed with you!

1:36 am

Jacula

Jac - reading all these busy people starts to wonder why she is still up, apart from doing her trucker alarm bit and navigating bit etc. She has ... well a lot to do later. As for the overseas Christmas cards, 2 to Canada, one to USA, one to New Zealand and one to Lithuania, the dates for those to get there by Xmas must have long gone! Oh dear! So late with everything this year...

1:38 am

Blaze

Jac I have found that the posts to or from england are very quick you should do well. and besides it is lovely getting cards after the busyness.....

1:39 am

Jacula

Blaze - thanks for that encouragement. It means a lot.x

1:40 am

licketySplitAUS

bye CJ... have a good sleep {-]

1:40 am

GreyWoulf

have 49 now!

I always find it interesting which square a word originates from when there are multiple choices -- it is almost never the one I think it will be :D

1:41 am

GreyWoulf

G'Nite CJ -- rest well!

1:41 am

Blaze

GW it is always the letter that comes first in the grid as it makes the word..... first row then first column...

1:43 am

GreyWoulf

Aww, Blaze -- now you took all the fun out of it! ;)

1:43 am

Blaze

it is still fun especially when the word can be made from several different places....

1:45 am

GreyWoulf

true :)
-- then, of course, it can be just as amazing to see how many words originate from a SINGLE square :D

1:46 am

Blaze

like the 14 hiding in the A letter....

1:46 am

GreyWoulf

Exactly! LOL

1:47 am

Jacula

Daughter's boyfr reckons Dr-God will give us a 1000 word grid on 19th Dec (1000th grid day). Is that possible??

Blaze

he needs a boot to the bottom... what a nasty thought.... it would need to be a three day grid

1:48 am

GreyWoulf

possible -- yes, probable - not bloody likely!

1000 word grid would preclude most of us from completing the grid and thus defeat the fun of the game

1:49 am

luvmypom

oh lordy -- 1000 word??? It that even possible??? *feeling a bit light headed*

1:49 am

Jacula

Blaze - re the boot. Don't tempt me. He ain't the 2nd son the first full-timer was/still is. GRR! No one tells you that one about being a parent, looking on, do they?

1:50 am

Blaze

Jac no they don't and it takes some pretty strong blinders sometimes... and tonque biters too..... only a mother would know....

1:51 am

Jacula

Well, if Dr_God does find a 1,000-word grid, I reckon he'll give us a minimum of 2 days to do it!

1:51 am

licketySplitAUS

why isn't narler a word?!! I hear it everyday!

1:52 am

Blaze

is there any rere words in this grid ??

1:52 am

lottijw

Hi Guys :)

Jac ((((xx)))) Long time no see. How are you??

1:52 am

GreyWoulf

haven't seen one yet

1:52 am

Blaze

hello lotti j

1:53 am

GreyWoulf

hi lotti!

(*hug*)

1:53 am

lottijw

Love your icon Blaze.....Mama will be proud!!! :)

1:54 am

Jacula

Lickety - don't know that particular word, but Babble's like that - it ignores every day words like 'bonce' etc.

1:54 am

lottijw

(((GW))) How`s K and bump??

1:54 am

Jacula

Lotti - hiya! You mischief maker, you!

1:55 am

GreyWoulf

Doin' great, lotti :)

1:55 am

lottijw

* Who me????* ;o)

1:56 am

Jacula

Lotti plays 'the innocent'.:-)))))))

1:56 am

lottijw

Oh glad to hear it GW.....you started your other job yet??

1:57 am

licketySplitAUS

narler - surfer speak for "huge wave, man!"

1:57 am

GreyWoulf

not yet -- but I have another couple of irons in the fire -- it's tough getting a job at this time of year -- everyone wants temp, not permanant :\

1:58 am

Blaze

well these last 29 words will wait until tomorrow... good nite everyone.....

1:58 am

Jacula

Should I go back to my glass of brandy icon, rather than the idea I got from Anj re Munch and The Scream (icon's saying 'HOW MANY WORDS??' btw) or is there a new theme for the day?

1:59 am

GreyWoulf

G'nite Blaze -- see you later

(*hug*)

1:59 am

lottijw

I know what you mean.....all the students come out of the woodwork for jobs here at this time of year :)
I was after more hours myself.

1:59 am

GreyWoulf

Todays theme is bread, Jac

1:59 am

Jacula

Nite, Blaze. Sweet dreams.

1:59 am

lottijw

Gnite Blaze :)

2:00 am

Jacula

Bread as in the stuff we eat, Wolfie, or as in money (dough)?

2:00 am

luvmypom

Nite Blaze.

I didn't know the theme was bread. Does gingerbread count as a bread or a cookie? Hmmm....

2:01 am

GreyWoulf

food - Jac

I chose to go with a lovely bread pudding myself

2:02 am

luvmypom

Gotta love the bread pudding. Made some just last week GW. Put some apples in it -- yum!

2:02 am

Jacula

Me and daughter are making gingerbread houses next week. Can't put pics up yet 'cos we haven't made 'em! Could put a pic from a decade or mor back though - an old one I made. Daughter remembers this and wants to revive it this year.

2:02 am

GreyWoulf

lovemypom - it's up to you -- the themes are merely suggestions -- I like your gingerbread house personally :)

2:03 am

lottijw

Lickety are you into footie??? (Rugby League) as we call it..We have a few Aussies in our local team.

2:03 am

GreyWoulf

I haven't had a really good bread pudding in ages!

Unfortunately, Kirsten doesn't like it which means I have to make it myself and I just don't have the time

2:03 am

luvmypom

Jac, they had the gingerbread national competition on our "Food Network" channel. Some of those houses were spectacular! People worked for hundreds of hours on them.

2:03 am

Jacula

Wolfie - Ah, bread pudding. I think there about 2 pieces left in the tin from this week's. I saw Other Half shove at least 2 slices into his lunch pack earlier!

2:05 am

GreyWoulf

luvmypom -- was that the one with the spinning carousel? We saw it too!

2:05 am

licketySplitAUS

Footy? No... soccer is my thang! I don't get the rugby.

2:05 am

Jacula

Wolfie! Making bread pudding takes no more than an hour or so! You soak the bread and milk for 30 mins and then add the rest of the ingredients, and cook for about an hour and 15 mins.

2:06 am

luvmypom

(note to self re GW: kitties, kids, massages, AND cooks! perhaps the cloning idea is back on) :D

2:06 am

Jacula

Luvmypom - Yes, me and my daughter looked at many of those pics on the net.

2:07 am

lottijw

Oh, well..... I can`t stand soccer.

2:07 am

GreyWoulf

Jac - I know - but the only time I have to work in the kitchen is now and usually I am too tired to remember that I have anything else going on other than Babble!

2:07 am

Jacula

No, cloning is not back! Like The Gentleman said, cloning may not necessarily bring back all the good points.

2:08 am

luvmypom

GW - Yes... the carousel. Too bad they didn't place better. But man, the creativity in that room was amazing. Being unable to draw a stick figure, I really admire people with artistic talent.

2:08 am

licketySplitAUS

Unless GW is a pure breed... can't guarantee anything!

2:09 am

Jacula

Well , Wolfie, I'm either gonna have to send you the recipe or the word list, on a day you a free! Can't someone else watch things for you re oven times?

2:09 am

GreyWoulf

Besides, I do have my faults, I choose not to advertise them is all -- I am no where near perfect
(*blushes beet red and dives to hise behind monitor*)

2:10 am

Jacula

Wolfie - of COURSE you are not 'perfect'! NO ONE would luv ya if you were!

2:10 am

luvmypom

Sorry GW, we shouldn't talk about you like you aren't here. But it's awfully cute that you blush!! lol

2:12 am

GreyWoulf

Jac - remember it is 3 AM right now for me -- I should really be sleeping like Kirsten already is -- but send the recipe I promise I will make it Xmas eve -- I'll be off from work and may have the apt. to myself for a few hours :D

2:13 am

Jacula

My other half was on here Sat or Sun., talking about cooking the Sunday roast. Made him sound perfect, too! LOL.

He isn't, but, if he was, I doubt I'd love him. He can cook though! Bless him! I may have drawn a short straw for 1st 22-year relationship, in more ways than cooking, but I think I've got it right this time!

2:13 am

GreyWoulf

luvmypom -- our fav bit from the gingerbread special was the little girl who won the kids division -- her squeal of delight made the whole show wirth watching!

2:14 am

speedfreak sam

helooo!

2:14 am

lottijw

Yeah, he told me he`d made pizza for tea the night before!!!!

2:14 am

GreyWoulf

Hi sam!

2:14 am

Jacula

Lumypom - Myother half blushes, too. It's so cute to see that in a man.

2:14 am

lottijw

Morning Sam :o)

2:15 am

Jacula

Lotti - I know! I read the convo and it was youthat made him blush! LOL.

2:16 am

Jacula

Normally, I hate pizza, but his pizzas are 'to die for'!

2:16 am

luvmypom

Jac, That's great that you appreciate your guy now that you've found him. Many happy years ahead to you both.

2:17 am

lottijw

LOL.....He made me laugh when he said don`t tell Jac I was here!!!! Like you don`t scroll back to catch up on conversations!!!!! Anyway, I take it his back is still ok??!!!

2:18 am

speedfreak sam

Did you see the traffic in london yesterday it was horrible! it tok us 2 1/2 hours to get home there saying they won't be able to get the fire out till next monday!

2:18 am

luvmypom

GW, she was such a cute little girl. And I thought the sister's who won were fun too. They were so excited. I couldn't imagine putting in all those hours and having it ruined during the travel. How disappointing.

2:18 am

Griffums

Hey all. Just got home from a grand evening, checking the grid to see whether it will keep until tomorrow, and looks like it will....

2:19 am

GreyWoulf

((*Griff*))

2:19 am

lottijw

Sam, it`s awful isn`t it......at least nobody was badly hurt!

2:19 am

Griffums

Yikes, what are you still doing up?

2:19 am

speedfreak sam

hi griffums.

2:19 am

Jacula

Luvmypom - Thanks! I will! Had a decade alone.

Lotti - Yes, his back's better, thanks.:-))) He knew what he was saying whe he said 'don't tell Jacq', he knows I read the log, just like he does.

2:19 am

helenary

I HATE to interrupt you all chatting happily but is there 2 en7/40's. I have one which is the "ask about" but what could the other be?? I have the en7/48. Clue please??

2:20 am

speedfreak sam

lottijw actually 4 workers were very injured

2:20 am

Griffums

hey sam

2:21 am

GreyWoulf

luvmypom - I definitely do not have the patience that is necessary for that type of competition -- and to have to be dependent upon safe transport to boot, I would have an ulcer inside of 6 months

2:21 am

Griffums

helenary, I don't know but you just gave me my first word...

2:22 am

helenary

I knew I was good for something Griff!!

2:22 am

Jacula

4 major casualties, it seems. Would have been far more had it not been 6 on a Sunday morning. Not that that helps those workers, I know. And accident though, it seems, not any act of terrorism.

2:22 am

luvmypom

Well gang, going to call it a night. the alarm goes off in 4 1/2 hrs. *yawn* I think you all are bad influences on me! lol Although I was warned -- Babbleland is addictive. :)

2:23 am

GreyWoulf

helen -- sorry -- there are only 2 en7's -- one 40, one 48 -- c-nan misread teh screen when she posted earlier -- she corrected herself a little later

2:23 am

lottijw

I should imagine they are in good hands Sam. It`s a good job it was Sunday is what I keep thinking!! Far less people about. Miyavi just lives 2miles away from it and the blast blew her bedroom door down the landing!!!

2:23 am

Griffums

Awwwwwwwww! that sounded piteous! :)

2:24 am

speedfreak sam

woow!

2:24 am

helenary

thank you GW!!

2:24 am

Griffums

All right, I'm done. Going to take my toe-tappin self (surprise theater tickets tonight, 42nd Street) and shuffle off to bu...bed. Thanks helenary for giving me my big break!

2:24 am

lottijw

Gnite LMP :)

2:24 am

GreyWoulf

BTW -- anyone have either of the other two 7's?

2:25 am

speedfreak sam

2:25 am

lottijw

Gnite Griff :)

2:26 am

GreyWoulf

2:26 am

Jacula

2:26 am

Griffums

2:27 am

luvmypom

Thanks Grey Woulf. You too. *forcing self to leave now*

2:27 am

Jacula

Griffums - afore ye awa - can you make me some toast too, please?

2:28 am

licketySplitAUS

luvmypom, vixie said to give sophie a big lick!!

2:28 am

lottijw

You`re here late Sam, you`ve normally set off to school by now!!

2:29 am

lshult

hi everone.
Made the mistake yesterday of starting a grid | didn't have time to finish. Ruined my stats (not that they are that good anyway).
Today may be smaller, but seems to be a toughie!

2:30 am

lottijw

Hi Ishult :) Yeah, i`m not getting far fast!!

2:31 am

lottijw

GW....have you seen Tor recently??

2:32 am

GreyWoulf

39 left to find, but back is beginning to protest sitting so long and Kitty Cat is telling me to go to bed -- Will see whomever tomorrow

(*Hugs for all*)
(*extra for Jac*)

TTFN

2:33 am

GreyWoulf

lotti - he popped up earlier, as in hours ago, but was quieter than usual

2:33 am

lottijw

Ok thanks GW... G`nite sweet dreams ((xx))

2:34 am

licketySplitAUS

Bye Grey... have a good one!

2:35 am

Jacula

*sittin' in a sleazy snackbar sucking sickly sausage rollls...*

Lindisfarne - 'Fog on The Tyne'. LOL

Wolfie - go to bed and to K!

2:37 am

Jacula

Ishult - didn't even think to check my stats for yesterday! Will do though, ocne I've made some toast. (The virtual toast doesn't work!)

2:39 am

lshult

Starting to get realy P***ed with this grid.
Only found 51 words and I'm stuck, just going round and round finding words I've already got!!!!!

2:44 am

lshult

Can't even count. only found 46 words so far!!

2:46 am

Jacula

got my toast now. let's calm down and look at the grid again...

2:54 am

Jacula

48 words here, ishult. About even, eh?

2:56 am

Jacula

John Lennon's 'Imagine' in my headphones now.

2:57 am

Jacula

'you may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one...'

3:01 am

Jacula

49 - words....
'but we all shine on, like the moon and the stars and the sun...' (On to Instan Karma now - which should probably be The Babblers' theme song!)

3:03 am

Dianne

Hi Everyone - nice to see I'm not alone in finding this grid a wee bit difficult. Can't find anything on the other two 7 letter words.

3:07 am

Jacula

Edited lyrics....

Instant karma’s gonna get you
Gonna knock you off your feet
Better recognize your brothers
Ev’ryone you meet
Why in the world are we here
Surely not to live in pain and fear
Why on earth are you there
When you’re ev’rywhere
Come and get your share

Well we all shine on...

3:07 am

Jacula

Well that got far more edited than I intended!

3:11 am

Miyavi_fan

Oh no. One of those shorty ones again today :/

*sigh* and how's that for a Monday morning greeting?
Hi everyone! :) *waving madly*

3:11 am

Jacula

Yes, I know my new icon's George and not John. But G was a cousin of mine, and looked so like my Dad. The sentiments are the same whether John or George's pic is showing. RIP to both.xx

3:13 am

Jacula

Hiya Miyavi. When does school finish and are you kay after our bedroom door blowing off (as I heard it) during explosion??

3:13 am

Miyavi_fan

Cool Jac! We should have a day on babble with musician icons, where we all put up our favourites. Not that I'd have to change or anything ^_^

3:14 am

Jacula

*okay, *your door. Sorry! V. tired!

3:14 am

Miyavi_fan

Hey Jac! Yeah, I'm fine thanks...just a bit miffed by such a rude awakening on a Sunday morning :) How are you?

3:14 am

Miyavi_fan

Our bedroom door?! ooer missus

3:16 am

Jacula

LOL, Miyavi. I'm surprised you know that joke at your age though!

3:16 am

Miyavi_fan

*giggling like a loon on loon tablets* I go to school, that's how I know it ^_^

3:17 am

Jacula

They can't possibly still do FH jokes in schools, surely?

3:18 am

Miyavi_fan

*whispers to nobody* what does FH stand for? :/ sorry...ignorance of youth, obviously :D

3:20 am

Jacula

Ah, so you know the punch line but not who's joke it was? It started with a Kenneth in the 'Carry Ons' and then was taken up by a Frankie.

3:20 am

Jacula

*whose joke.

3:21 am

Miyavi_fan

oooh, right...I think I just inherited the 'ooer missus' from my mum, who probably got it from there!

3:22 am

Jacula

Oh right! Anyway, when does scholl finish? 22nd or later?

3:22 am

Jacula

*school.

3:23 am

Miyavi_fan

um *thinking*...I think we finish this Friday...no idea of the actual date :/ it's too early in the morning for that

3:24 am

Jacula

Sorry, Miyavi. V. tired. Got 50 words for now on grid but will probabl leave rest until later. How are you doing with grid?

3:25 am

Miyavi_fan

*blushes* a grand total of nine *raises hands in victory* looks like I need to get my head down!

3:27 am

licketySplitAUS

I am bailing out... 53 and not going anywhere!!

3:27 am

Jacula

Okay,Miya., you get on with grid and I'll maybe see you later. Dunno. Lots to do here. Anyway, happy Babbling.

3:28 am

Miyavi_fan

Miyavi_fan

Oooh, Lotti, having a Life Of Brian moment now...Movieman would be proud.

3:40 am

lottijw

Miyavi me thinks you`ve found a soul mate!!!!

3:40 am

Miyavi_fan

Wow, Gazette I love as well! This is great! How about Panic Channel? They're split up now but still pretty good :)

3:41 am

Miyavi_fan

Lotti, I'm just blown over by this...I knew getting up early and logging on would do me good!

3:41 am

kikic93

she doesnt listen to them or she hasent told me about them.

3:42 am

kikic93

3:43 am

Miyavi_fan

*dancing around the room*

3:43 am

lottijw

I think it`s great, cos no one else seems to know much about them!! You just need her sister to log on now :)

3:44 am

Miyavi_fan

Yup :) Though most Gazette fans aren't into Dir en Grey...they find it too depressing :)

3:45 am

kikic93

she is like on some japanese band group or something like that. she is depressed that she cant go to a concert with all of them that there record label is throwing because we are heading back to the states.

3:46 am

lottijw

She didn`t say how old she was did she?? ....... Ooooo I feel pen (e-mail) friends coming on and Japan visits..... what do you think??!!!! :)

3:47 am

Miyavi_fan

riiiight...I'm just suffering from massive envy symptoms cause I can't go on the peace and smile carnival tour! Selfish parents just won't go the extra mile and move to Japan for me :)

3:47 am

kikic93

3:47 am

4:22 am

lshult

4:22 am

Miyavi_fan

Heh! I'm trying to translate some song lyrics at the same time, so keep getting confused as to why the grid won't accept japanese words :/

4:24 am

licketySplitAUS

the grid accepted one japanese word that I have ;}

4:25 am

Miyavi_fan

It won't accept 'nare' though. *glares at computer*

4:31 am

Haz1558

Try a consonant instead of a vowel, to get na4.6

4:32 am

Miyavi_fan

Oooh...thanks Haz :)

4:33 am

Haz1558

Our school closes on Friday.I`ve worked some hours in advance so I`m not needed now.I prefer to work in class rarher than practice for concerts or go to school parties etc as my hours are so limited.It`s not that I`m antisocial I just think I should be useful.

Trotters, read the note from swmbo. Looks like someone else did too. Balance was U$10, I put in $20, by the time I finished messing with paypal, someone else contibuted U$221 which takes care of an entire year of subscription. Byt the time I got back out the war chest was up to $281, all from anonymous contribs. Hope everyone here goes Pro too.....

Jera, I got organised in a weak moment and now have a fir tree taking over most of the lounge : /

9:12 am

FMitch

Group of good babble s's that start from the si4/4 (to father)
double last letter to give 5/10
double 3rd letter and change vowel ending for another 5/10
add a consonant to the end for the 6/21 and finally
go back to your si4/4 and just double everything.

9:12 am

Karys

Funky fairy on top of our tree !!

9:12 am

lola100

So what are you hoping to find under your tree this Christmas, Anj? :)

9:12 am

EvaNadine

9:13 am

Jera

Ooh firs are nice. I think our tree will have to sit on a table or in a chair... small living room!

9:13 am

Anj

Lo, no pine needles? ; )

9:14 am

Jera

We have a fairy for our tree topper, too... I'll have to snap a shot of it for an icon...

9:15 am

Karys

crimbo = christmas Jera

9:19 am

Babbler

she couldn't decide. so I've left it as you posted in your message - nice open scope for everyone. Artlady said she'll give it some more thought and get back to me.

9:19 am

Anj

Babs, didn't she ask that we wait until the w/e tho'??

9:19 am

Jera

Now how did that happen? Is crimbo short for something? Or an accent? My Brit culture for the day...

9:20 am

EvaNadine

9:21 am

Anj

Anjerino? Beats Anjypops lol : )

9:21 am

lola100

Jera, it is my humble opinion (after living here for nearly 3 years) that the brits make a lot of their words up, lol!

9:22 am

Anj

I've never heard such pericombobularities!

9:22 am

lola100

: P

9:22 am

Good morning! Hope everyone had a good weekend!

9:22 am

FMitch

LOL

9:22 am

Jera

Fair enough, lola... but there's usually a fun story behind it!

Jera

Where were you before, Lola?

9:23 am

Karys

Anj ?.....you okay there....you havn't taken something have you ???....LOL

9:23 am

lola100

9:24 am

Anj

Babs, maybe we could have an open art day this week, and a themed art day over the weekend??

9:24 am

lola100

Hi lupe! :)

Jera, I'm from south africa.

9:24 am

Jera

Aha... so we move from etymology to psychology!! Another fave of mine...

9:24 am

Karys

Hi Lupe :)

9:25 am

Babbler

I suggested that to Artlady, but she couldn't handle the responsiblity (think she was trying to make me laugh!), then she said maybe there was too much of an overlap. Maybe I'll ask her again later today.

9:25 am

Jera

Cool, Lola... my Sprite is going to run away to Africa... specifically Namibia, to work with the Cheetah reserve there...

9:26 am

shorty

heeeeeeelllllooooooooooooooo

9:26 am

Jera

Now I was going to get so much done with Gwyd at school. here I've been jabbering the whole time & barely found any words... must get some cleaning done & rearrange things to get a tree in my tiny house!!

9:26 am

lola100

Jera, haven't been to Namibia (yet!) but it looks like a beautiful place. They are doing great work in conservation now, too :)

9:27 am

Anj

Karys, I should have said I am frazmodic, dispeptic, even compunctuous to have caused you such pericombobularities. Now excuse me while I have a pendigestatory interludicule LMAO : )

9:27 am

Lupe613

Hi Shorty

9:27 am

Babbler

your post has left me discombobulated, Anj.....

9:27 am

9:33 am

lola100

Jera, that's just it. She may change her mind a hundred times by then or she may also still want to run away to africa. Dreams should never be scoffed at, no matter how young the dreamer :)

9:34 am

Lupe613

Hi Temple!

walnutchen: first or4 is the first few letters of The Big Easy; second has a double consonant in the middle and a vowel on each end

11:20 am

Minski

I am missing one of the TY words.
I have:
~a word with no definition that ends in a double vowel
~the British spelling of the things that cars have 4 of
~a beginner in learning something
Please help with the one I'm missing.
Thanks.

11:20 am

hurshy

thanks for the yays, folks. going to lunch now. see y'all later. and thanks for bread day! :) :)

11:21 am

Schroeder

Congrats misstearweus

11:21 am

walnutchen

bugzy: "The Big Easy", as in, the movie?

11:22 am

Bugzy

As in, the city. Second word of it, I meant to say...

11:23 am

walnutchen

Minski: its an anagram of the wheels...

11:23 am

Bugzy

Minski - I think you're missing either the anagram of the car part, or the car part with a different vowel on the end

11:24 am

Bugzy

Bye hurshy!

11:24 am

brandyjack

She's missing the anagram of the car part.

11:29 am

caitlyn

Hi all has anyone had the problem i have at the moment I left babble for a while ,when i came back all my words have gone!!!!!!! Although when i flipped to stats I have finished(which i had)

11:29 am

trishtrash

Evening all,
Can anyone help me with the En7
(not the interrogative one) tia!

11:30 am

brandyjack

Others have reported that problem in the past caitlyn, although I have never been afflicted with it.

11:30 am

Haz1558

Both en 7 are about asking questions.

11:30 am

brandyjack

They're both interogative...

11:31 am

FMitch

caitlyn F5 (refresh) usually works for most glitches on babble.

11:31 am

trishtrash

gracious, so they are! How'd I miss that? Thanks for pointing me straight, anyway guys :)

11:31 am

caitlyn

thanks brandyjack thought my computer was on the blink

11:32 am

brandyjack

As Fmitch says, f5 smolves most problems, reboots and Firefox solve the rest.

11:32 am

72 Temple Owl

i am just not getting the ors - i have one but the car part is eluding me....

11:33 am

brandyjack

Although I think Firefox is the reason EZboard hangs up on secure credit card transactions. I use I.E> for most things, but Firefox for Babble and Babblers Anon.

11:34 am

72 Temple Owl

ok i got it but i don't see the car part *thwack*

11:34 am

brandyjack

Temple, the car part is a ty, not an or.

11:36 am

brandyjack

The two or's are the border of a coat of arms and some undefined acronym with a double consonant and vowel ending....

11:36 am

sherb

ooh, Dr G has been kind today with only 106 words to find...

hello all :)

11:37 am

72 Temple Owl

ah...the fun of babbling at work...even tho it's lunchtime i feel obliged to answer phone since i am here...

11:38 am

brandyjack

Actually, after some digging, both or4's have to do with heraldry. The second one is a type of field. Wikipedia says 'an ermine charge cannot be placed on an or4/4 field'.

11:38 am

FMitch

sherb, don't get too carried away - may be 106 words but......watch out!

11:39 am

72 Temple Owl

i have the re6 for the one that is one who re4's; any help on the other?

11:40 am

brandyjack

In fact, the second or4/4 is a golden metal. And I wrongly attributed it to Wikipedia, instead it's from septempontia.org which uses a wiki to organize it's data.

11:41 am

sherb

hi FMitch :) I knew as soon as I wrote the words that I was tempting fate, lol :D

11:41 am

Bugzy

Temple - both re6s are those who re4... one is like a parent, the other a fisherman

11:44 am

72 Temple Owl

ty bugzy - now missing one of the 4! i thinkit may be break time!

11:45 am

brandyjack

the re4's are to raise a child and to re** in your line.

11:46 am

brandyjack

The third ends with the present of to be. I am and he **.

11:46 am

Bugzy

I must go get some (real) work done now...
Bye all, and Happy Bread Day! :)

11:47 am

72 Temple Owl

ty all - got them - left to take a phonecall

11:47 am

brandyjack

This IS the only real work I an doing today..... Or for the next month. Exept cooking of course, but that's not work.....

11:47 am

11:51 am

brandyjack

It would be except it's -12C outside (+18F). Or course, that measn no grass to cut, walk to sweep, or pool to clean. Instead I get to sit out at my father-in-laws's U'Cut christmas tree farm to keep an eye on the old coot.

11:52 am

Miyavi_fan

Hi! :)

11:53 am

sherb

I think I'd rather be at work...

hi Miyavi :) what did you do with yourself today?

11:54 am

Miyavi_fan

Christmas shopping...got waylaid by a madly smiling woman trying to teach me about spiritual happiness for "a small price"

Never been so scared in my life. What did you get up to?

11:54 am

72 Temple Owl

hi, miyavi! : )

11:55 am

Schroeder

Hi Miyavi, how are you

11:55 am

Miyavi_fan

Hey Temple! :) How are you?

11:55 am

Miyavi_fan

Hey Schroeder, I'm great thanks, you?

Wow...I feel popular ^_^

11:56 am

sherb

two intense bouts of work (ie emails and meetings), with a working lunch sandwiched in between...not bad, actually

11:56 am

Schroeder

You are Miyavi :)
Good day at school for you

11:59 am

Miyavi_fan

Sherb, and did you find spiritual fulfillment whilst doing that? lol :)

Schroeder, no school today! Or tomorrow ^_^ The oil depot exploded two miles away from where I am (blowing my door off :/ ) so we can't go to school because of the noxious fumes outside.

11:59 am

Miyavi_fan

...So of course, all the students were ignoring the carcogenic fumes warnings and were uptown...

12:00 pm

Schroeder

How scary Miyavi, I didn't know it was so close to you, I'm glad to see you are staying safe indoors.

12:01 pm

sherb

MIyavi - thankfully, I don't seek spiritual fulfilment at work...I'm happy just to do my job, enjoy the company of my colleagues...and get paid for it...

Is it still very smoky where you are, or is it clearing>

12:02 pm

Miyavi_fan

Thanks Schroeder :) I love your icon by the way, that's so original! I need to change mine for the theme...

Sherb, it's clearing now and heading South...we can see the flames from where we are :/

12:05 pm

Miyavi_fan

Woah...gotta go pick my way through a pile of ironing. Be back in 20...hopefully. If I make it out alive :/

12:05 pm

12:10 pm

EasternBlue

Schroe - very nice icon...I know a little sign...used to work at a camp where we had some deaf kids - learned all the 'bad' words first so we knew when they were swearing at us!! : D

12:10 pm

72 Temple Owl

i really enjoyed this one - challenging but short enought not to agonize or race vs. time...

12:11 pm

Schroeder

Oops Haz, I did know that, my fingers are not moving with my brain again,
And that would be Hi boreetos!!

12:11 pm

12:12 pm

12:22 pm

Schroeder

Hi hurshy, I knew you were a she...need to have my nails trimmed and my brain recharged so the two work together....

12:22 pm

hurshy

12:23 pm

dl88

harpjane, think of a mountain range in nevada for the si6, then add another letter for the 7

12:24 pm

harpjane

Thank you dl, that one tricks me every time!

12:24 pm

Haz1558

Sorry, Easternblue to take so long to reply - my icon is wheaten bread, an Irish speciality.

12:25 pm

EasternBlue

Haz...it looks good...I may have to change my fruitcake!

12:26 pm

Haz1558

It's absolutely delicious - very flavoursome.

12:27 pm

efor1124

any clues on the last ha5/16?

12:28 pm

efor1124

nvm! got it! :)

12:28 pm

Haz1558

It's the name of Prince William's brother. Or a dirty Clint Eastwood?

12:29 pm

harpjane

We used to pass a fruitcake around our family for years. The pigs wouldn't eat it, so we used it as a doorstop.

12:31 pm

harpjane

Now that I have the ha 5/16, I realize that someone used a word in the log earlier, talking about H Potter.... hee hee hee!

12:32 pm

Schroeder

My husband loves fruitcake, but I haven't made it for years...

12:34 pm

brandyjack

Plum Pudding is type of bread isn't it?

12:34 pm

renfield

harp - you must have a phtographic memory 8)

12:35 pm

harpjane

My stove is on the fritz. I can't even bake a muffin until the new one is delivered on the 28th. All the food pictures are making me depressed. On the other hand, I don't have to do ANY Christmas baking, and I'll be taking jello to the potlucks....so I get off easy!

12:36 pm

Schroeder

Lol harp...
Hi Ren!!!

12:37 pm

Miyavi_fan

*re-enters grandly* TA DA!!!

*jazz hands*

12:38 pm

renfield

hi shro
brandy - according to julia child - you are correct!

12:39 pm

renfield

my husband sez i am a fruit cake

12:39 pm

brandyjack

I have a roast beef in the oven. Just remembered I had found a site with sauerbraten sauce. Off to get the ingredients. Too lazy to do sauerbraten the proper way (5 day marinade).....
Been too long since I had sauerbraten........

12:41 pm

Yvo

Brandy!!! but its worth the effort and wait

12:41 pm

Schroeder

You made it back safely Miyavi! did you get your ir**ing done?

12:41 pm

brandyjack

But my refridgerator is too small to have something that big that long...........

12:43 pm

Miyavi_fan

Ooh, didn't see that one in there...:) Yup, big pile up of clothes waiting to be transported to my bedroom :) Thought I was gonna have to call for back-up when a bedsheet went mad, but it was all okay :)

12:45 pm

Schroeder

Must work a while, back later for my last 12....

12:46 pm

Miyavi_fan

Later Schroeder :)

12:48 pm

mamabear

Hi babble people!!!! How is everyone! I miss playing soooooooo much!!! Thought I'd pop in and say hi - besides I saw today was "bread day" and I found the perfect icon.......
BrandyJack - saw your post on the sauerbraten - I have made that before for an "untraditional" Christmas Day dinner for family - with gingersnap gravy and homemade potato pancakes .... mmmmmmmmm.....

12:49 pm

Miyavi_fan

Hey Mama! :D How are you?

12:50 pm

mamabear

Hey Miyavi!! Tired..... very tired..... how are you doing? Getting a break from school soon?

12:51 pm

harpjane

ea 6/18? I saw a clue earlier but can't find it. I have all the other ea's.

12:51 pm

Miyavi_fan

Mama, getting a break from school now! Since the explosion, school's been off thanks to the noxious fumes hovering above St Albans. The blast blew my bedroom door off!

12:52 pm

mamabear

explosion??????

12:52 pm

EasternBlue

*Tackles Mamabear in a HUGE BEAR HUG*

MAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've missed you!!

12:53 pm

Miyavi_fan

Mama, didn't you hear? An oil depot in hemel blew up on sunday morning, roundabout 6.

12:53 pm

mamabear

*mamabear staggers backwards as she catches EasternBlue in mid air* I've missed you too!!!!

12:53 pm

harpjane

Myi--surely you have something better to do than iron, on a school closing day. Although I imagine you are all sort of in shock still.

12:54 pm

GreyWoulf

harp -- that couldn't be any more ea4/6 that falling off a log!

MAMA!!!!! (*HUG*)

12:55 pm

mamabear

No, I didn't hear, Miayvi.... how awful!!!! But I'm glad you are ok..... if your bedroom door blew off, it must have been way too close to you.... how scary!!

12:55 pm

Miyavi_fan

Oh no, not really in shock. We didn't know the school was closing until last night, though, so I didn't get time to get anything organised. So I just went Xmas shopping instead ^_^

12:55 pm

harpjane

Thank you GW, guess I'm not too sharp today!

12:56 pm

mamabear

GW!!!!!!! *mamabear runs over and tackles GW hugging him senseless*

12:56 pm

Miyavi_fan

Thanks Mama :) It was scary at the time, but now it's a good way to get out of school, I guess. It's horrible, though, because we can see the fire still raging where we are :/

12:56 pm

Miyavi_fan

Hi Woulf! *comes skipping over* (((Woulf)))

12:57 pm

GreyWoulf

Maa..ma.. can't.....breathe....

;D

12:58 pm

Yay! BUNDLE!!!

GreyWoulf

((Miyavi))

I've been lurking for a bit -- trying to finish before I have to go out into the cold snow with the baby :)

12:59 pm

Blaze

what a conversasion to come in on ?? Miy I am glad you are alright..... some one was on the chat when the explosion went off I think it was sherb.....
Mama who's the bear LOL I almost thought I was chatting incognito.....LOL

12:59 pm

renfield

it is - the mama bear!

12:59 pm

Blaze

gw are you still here or come back ??

1:01 pm

brandyjack

Mama, I've given up on patato pancakes. Love them, but just can't learn to cook them. I wind up with a pan full of mashed potatoes or something resembling hash brown bits every time. The sauerbraten sauce I found is for a meatball hors d'oeuvres. Might work. Might be just tempting enough to get me off my lazy butt and do it right sometime.

1:01 pm

Miyavi_fan

You have snow?! Lucky lucky lucky...we have looming smokey clouds that stink of oil :/

1:01 pm

GreyWoulf

Blaze - I came back -- I've only been here for about an hour -- had to be quiet due to baby distracting me

1:01 pm

harpjane

myavi, where exactly is Hemel? Is it in the industrial port area near London?

1:03 pm

Miyavi_fan

I, um, wish I knew. Not that great with the local geography. The best I've ever done is direct some tourists to the local Sainsbury's :/ But it must be, though, I guess...pretty near London, anyway. Two miles away from St Albans

1:03 pm

Blaze

mama you are the bear hands down I give up the bready bear...... LOL
Brandy --- if you move the fry pan as you put the potatoe mix in the pan it is less likely to stick much.... but I agree it is a lot of work for those delious things...

1:05 pm

GreyWoulf

brandyjack -- I have the same prob with potato pancakes -- but I'm working on it!
Usually if I don't get what I want, I toss in some scrambled eggs and mixed veg and turn it into a stovetop scramble :)

1:05 pm

GreyWoulf

Mama -- how was the concert? and how much snow did you get?

1:07 pm

lola100

Hi guys, I'm back :)
Could someone please give me a hint for the ry?

1:07 pm

EasternBlue

Woulfie...(I went to the U2 concert - it was AWESOME!)...not too much snow here - only 4 inches...

1:10 pm

GreyWoulf

EB - the report says we got between 7 & 9 inches here, but I only see about 4-5 -- just enough for Kristianna to make her first snowman :D

1:10 pm

EasternBlue

ooo...snowman!! we don't have enough sticky snow to make those yet!

1:10 pm

lola100

Hi east! U2 hey? I'm a huge fan of their earlier stuff :)

1:11 pm

EasternBlue

they did a couple of early numbers...first time I ever saw them...but it was great - they played for over 2 hours!

1:12 pm

Yoink

Hi guys :)

Lola you just used a word in the log!

1:12 pm

GreyWoulf

EB -- it's a tiny one, bec the snow was really too powdery except where the sun had melted it a bit -- but that made it just her size ;D

1:12 pm

Miyavi_fan

I'm great thanks! How are you?

1:12 pm

mamabear

We got about 8 inches of snow last Thursday.. And about 2 more over the weekend. GW - the concert was wonderful, but exhausting!!! I am touched that you remembered!!! *wink*
Brandyjack - my recipe for Sauerbraten only calls for a 24 hour marinade... and the potato pancake recipe starts with grating fresh potatoes.... and the gravy is wish crushed gingersnap cookies..... alot of work. but definitely worth it for this German girl!

1:12 pm

lola100

East, did they do 'where the streets have no name'??

1:13 pm

Miyavi_fan

Ah Woulf, she sounds sweet :) How old is she?

lola100

*hands blaze a tissue*

1:25 pm

Blaze

thank you the hot coffee is helping too...

1:26 pm

GreyWoulf

oh no, Blaze -- an old Italian folk remedy that usually works for me when I feel a cold coming on is to eat a clove of raw garlic with a shot of lemon juice --

Breath is bad for a bit, but it works ;)

1:28 pm

Blaze

it keeps the sick people away from you for sure.... I think my sneezing is the dust that is blowing around in here this morning... some one should do something about that....ROFLOL

1:30 pm

harpjane

Garlic is the best! It definitely helps a cold. Mix it with a little honey and eat it raw.

1:31 pm

GreyWoulf

Blaze -- I ran into that prob when I worked for Waldenbooks years ago -- I developed a dust sensitivity cos of all the books

1:31 pm

Anj

Anj is in the house : )

1:31 pm

Miyavi_fan

Garlic and honey?! Last night I was teaching Anj how to ask for 'pescatore prepared with pancreas' in Japanese but that's something else culinarily altogether.

1:32 pm

Miyavi_fan

Why, speak of the devil :) It's Anjypops!

Sorry, I'm not gonna let that go :D

2:11 pm

Karys

2:12 pm

2:12 pm

boreetos

2:12 pm

Karys

2:13 pm

Miyavi_fan

This Friday, can't wait ^_^ But first I have the tragic staff pantomime to sit through. Miyavi may look good in a skirt (er, the j-rocker, not me) but Mr Lucas just doesn't *shudders*

2:13 pm

boreetos

and how are you today Lola?

2:14 pm

joey

ANj,
I am not proud, I need a bunch of NO's. I have the film no.... 2 of them, but that is it.

2:14 pm

Karys

2:14 pm

Anj

lola100

Good thanks boreetos, and you?

Has anyone seen baggo since she started her new job?

2:16 pm

Karys

got close and closer

2:16 pm

Anj

no4/4 - old Babblefave - Porphyra or red algae prep.

Sounds like an apology with an N not an S

- add an A to the end for an no5
- swap the A for an S to plural the no4/4

2:16 pm

joey

thanks, Anj, just looking for the last two 5's now.

joey

2:17 pm

boreetos

fine thanks, not too enthused about being at work today. We had our Christmas party this weekend and I'm a wee bit tired from it all.

2:25 pm

Karys

ok joey...here's a cloth ...dry the fish !!

2:26 pm

joey

Thanks, Karys

P - one is pr with a double vowel, the other one looks to me like it would sound like a part of a boat, pr, first vowel, circle vowel.

2:26 pm

lola100

karys, they are both pr4/5 and they both end in two vowels :)

2:27 pm

Anj

Karys, how about more slim?

2:27 pm

lola100

karys, do you have even more thin?

2:30 pm

Karys

2:31 pm

Karys

3:14 pm

baggo

bye miyavi

3:14 pm

Karys

ooo...ni nite Miya xx

3:16 pm

Anj

Lo, she's good. One of the rockier singer/songwriters that I listen to. Probably more commercial than Liz Phair and not as country as Mel Etheridge, although her new band leans in that direction.

3:18 pm

lola100

She reminds me a bit of kt tunstall...am I on the right track? Worth downloading then?

3:18 pm

Mubner

Greetings, fellow Babblers...need help finding two words that should be obvious but are not...no 4/4 and no 5/10....have the film genre and its plural, the loudness and the water wheel.
Any clues......

3:20 pm

Anj

Mubner, take the A off the end for the no4/4 and pluralise for the no5/10 : )

3:21 pm

Anj

...that was the end of the waterwheel word...

3:21 pm

baggo

Anj

Lo, yup, well worth it : )

3:22 pm

lola100

3:22 pm

lola100

Okay sweetie, she has been added to the list and I'll let you know what I think :)

3:22 pm

Mubner

3:31 pm

Karys

3:31 pm

Anj

They aren't just now. Ginger is releasing a solo album called Valor Del Carzon on the 19th and is playing London as a one-off on Friday 27th January. That's it for a while although i'm on their mailing list so I will know when they do decide to hit the road again.

3:33 pm

lola100

What's he like solo?

3:34 pm

bbnaz

29 words to go but must run for the girlies at school. hope to come back and finish this one........

3:34 pm

Anj

...a proper troubador really. Bottle of red, packet of marlboro, accoustice guitar, hat and cracking sense of humour. Full electric set on the 27th tho' with guests...pretty much the same sort of thing as I saw in the Barfly a few weeks back : )

3:35 pm

Schroeder

Bye bbnaz, drive careful..

3:37 pm

Minski

Hi. I asked this earlier but baby needed attention and then household stuff called and I'm just getting back to it. Instead of hunting through the posts I'm going to ask again......

I am only missing one TY word. I have: the one with no definition that ends in a double vowel, the British spelling of the thing that your car has 4 of, and a beginner in learning something. Please help. Thanks.

3:38 pm

Karys

respell the wheel one

3:38 pm

lola100

Sounds good babe, you're going to have to take me to see him some time. Another question... have you ever seen the Stones?

3:38 pm

Minski

Thanks Karys. I swear I tried that one hours ago, but I must be having flashbacks to another grid.

3:39 pm

Miyavi_fan

Okay, couldn't stay away. Door is back on, Kasumi translation is finished...now I have to deal with English words :/

3:39 pm

Karys

know what you mean Minski ;)

3:39 pm

Anj

Hey Miya, my auto-radio is playing me Golbal Communication by Glay : )

3:40 pm

Karys

you a definate addict Miya !!

3:40 pm

Schroeder

Welcome back Miyavi!

3:40 pm

Anj

Lo, no I haven't. I have this thing about paying large amounts of money to see ants in the distance...

3:41 pm

Miyavi_fan

Oooh, Glay! Glay were talent spotted by the same person as Dir en Grey, that's enough to make me like them :)

3:41 pm

Miyavi_fan

Karys...no comment :D
Thanks Schroeder! :)

3:42 pm

Schroeder

Lola, I saw the Stones 3 times in the past when tickets were priced reasonable

3:46 pm

nava

how's the puzzle today?

3:48 pm

Anj

Nava, puzzling ; )

Miya, they're a bit more commercial if you ask me

3:49 pm

nava

i worked on it for a little bit last night and got 36 words. so today i have to buckle down. there just aren't a ton jumping out at me today.

3:49 pm

Anj

Schroeder, it's not the price I object to, it's the size of the venue. If I can't see the whites of their eyes unaided i'm not interested.

3:49 pm

Miyavi_fan

A lot more commercial...they care about what people think too much :) Dir en Grey...care too little

3:50 pm

joey

can't find the last ar 5 - can anyone help?

thanks

3:51 pm

Anj

Miya, that's known as artistic integrity. Do what you want, not what they want. It's the conflict reactor that powers the music industry really...

3:51 pm

Anj

Joey, Steve H..... bass player with Iron Maiden.
Drop the H : )

3:51 pm

periwinkle

I need help with A words. Only have one ar5 (plural of an ar4)Also need help with ar6 and ar7. And er5 and er6 too

3:52 pm

Minski

GGGRRRR!!! Darn O words. I don't have any of them. Could someone please help? Thanks muchly.

3:53 pm

joey

thanks again, Anj

3:54 pm

Anj

Peri, the ar6 is a record label that counts Manly Barrilow, Aretha Franklin and the Eurythmics among its roster.
Add an E for the 7

3:54 pm

Schroeder

I agree with you Anj,
But I also have a problem paying that much money for a band I have seen in the past for way less. I must confess to spending quite a bit for my husband to see Fleetwood Mac a few years back

3:54 pm

Miyavi_fan

Exactly Anj! And God save the queen.

...the timing just felt right :/

3:57 pm

periwinkle

Anj, thanks found ar6 and 7. Knew the label but not sure how to spell it. Checked with Google :)

3:57 pm

Miyavi_fan

gah! just reading over the lyrics I did and I'm so, so glad I didn't have to translate from Kanji to romanisation...I can just think of the mess I'd make of yominekashitsuki!

3:58 pm

Anj

Schroeder, exactly. All the bands i've seen this year have come in at under $20 a ticket. If I want to see the big names I just do the festivals and take my pic of the acts on offer. The only band i've seen do BIG shows is Rush.

3:58 pm

Miyavi_fan

oh for goodness sake...yomineka$hitsuki

3:59 pm

Anj

Miya, welcome to the wide, wide world of freedom of speech ; )

3:59 pm

periwinkle

MInski, the only O word I have is an o5/10. The first two letters are the same. No def. but it has been in grids before.

4:00 pm

Miyavi_fan

Careful Anj, that could be a dangerous thing for me :)

As it is, you've got freedom fighters in my head..."freedom of speech! freedom of thought! That freedom over there is ignoring us completely..."

4:03 pm

sandr

can i please have a clue for the ao 6/18 ty

4:04 pm

Minski

thanks Peri. I found that one just as you reminded me.

4:04 pm

Anj

Hi sandr : ) How are you??

It's ao plus sounds like the bit between your hand and arm

4:05 pm

Minski

Sandr ~ add on to the end the last 4 letters of the thing that attaches your hand to your arm.

4:06 pm

sandr

ty got it

4:06 pm

sandr

how is everyone?

4:07 pm

mo

4:13 pm

sandr

4:13 pm

mo

Schroeder ..thank you so much i have it now!

4:14 pm

Minski

All is well here. I was a tad worried about our friends across the pond but have read that all is well. It seems the largest problem was the loss of Miy's bedroom door.

I am planning a combination Chanukah and December Birthdays Family Party for this Sunday. I finally have an almost complete headcount. You would think family would be more responsible about RSVPing. (insert rolling eyes smilie here).

4:14 pm

Anj

Fine thanks sandr. Hope you have a nice time over Xmas :)

4:16 pm

Miyavi_fan

Oookay...I've gotta go dream mad/morbid Dir en Grey inspired dreams...shouldn't have translated before bed! See you tomorrow after a night of what seems to be Kyo's mother being murdered by his father o.o

4:16 pm

Miyavi_fan

...And Minski, the bedroom door grew back this evening :)

*unhooks fingers from keyboard, makes self leave*

6:44 pm

jallen

6:46 pm

kristin

hum, the other one is really hard to give a clue for, the definition is a bearing, in the form of a fillet, round the shield, within, but at some distance from, the border - don't suppose that helps any?

6:47 pm

kristin

using the upper right o, then r, then left, then down

6:47 pm

Haz1558

I remember reading in the log earlier that it had to do with heraldry - I know that or refers to gold but can't quite get those last two letters!

6:47 pm

Poo's Mom

or 4 - sounds like paris airport

6:50 pm

Haz1558

Thank you - I was trying to get it from the wrong o!
Finished, and thanks for all your help.

6:51 pm

joey

help - I have been reading the clues for the si's and I am lost. I still need the si 6/21, and one of the si5/10. I have the one where it is one less consonent in the middle of one of the other si 6's, can't get the other.....

6:53 pm

Haz1558

The si 6/21 is an old fashioned word used to address gentlemen. It sounds as though it ends in a vowel, but has a silent consonant on the end.

6:54 pm

brandyjack

Both or4's have to do with Heraldry. The first is the border around the blazon, the 2nd is the gold metal background when used for a field. Olde english. First one sounds like Paris airport, 2nd one sounds like a cheer........ As in hip, hip, or**

6:54 pm

Haz1558

The si 5/10 is the same word as the 6/21 minus the last consonant.

6:58 pm

Haz1558

Time for bed. Goodnight all!

6:59 pm

Poo's Mom

Nite Haz! I am off as well.

6:59 pm

joey

Haz, sorry, just is not doing it for me.

7:03 pm

joey you must be missing the 5/6 combo - take the first 4 letters of the other 5/6 combo, add a vowel for the 5 then add a const. for the 6

9:47 pm

9:47 pm

beebee

Ha**- no one likes a tattle tale lol

9:47 pm

Dianne

Oh - I miss Wal-mart ;(

9:47 pm

bbnaz

scatty, think of Filch's cat in the h potter books and leave out one of the middle consonants

9:48 pm

harpjane

er words- mistake and mistakes

9:48 pm

Dev1n

hi! any hints on Ys?

9:49 pm

renfield

er - if you make a mistake it is an er*** then if you make a lot of mistakes - you makes a lot of er****

9:49 pm

beebee

dianne- i don't see how- it's a crazy crazy place

9:49 pm

Dianne

Hap - I've got to start looking in the other direction.
I was thinking of those words but kept looking at the top O - DUH. Thanks for the help.

9:49 pm

pinecone05

y 5 think of what you need to make bread

9:50 pm

beebee

dev- bread is the icon today- it took alot of ye*** to make it all rise

9:50 pm

pinecone05

yi 4/6 ends in a doubled letter

9:50 pm

bbnaz

take antibiotics and if you are a female you might get a ye*** infection. (5)
drop the last consonant to get the first ye (4)

9:50 pm

Dianne

Beebee - over here we don't have one of those stores that has every little thing you need. You have to go from store to store to store - very tiring.

9:50 pm

Dev1n

how many Y's are there? I have the ye 5 bread one and a ye 4 opposite of "nos"

9:50 pm

renfield

dianne - are there no wal marts in hong kong? read your blog bio

9:50 pm

scatty

9:51 pm

beebee

ye4- a word like yes, but with a vowel and it's plural

9:51 pm

renfield

there's a yi - yi + double dose of the same consonent -

9:52 pm

beebee

3 y's

9:52 pm

bbnaz

that would be chuck No**** but without one of the middle cons

9:52 pm

renfield

scatty - is you have the one i gave you - then drop the ending consonent and add the 1st vowel

9:52 pm

mab

Scatty, I think you want the plural or the four-letter seaweed.

9:52 pm

Dev1n

got the y's! Thanks!

9:54 pm

renfield

yes = what mab said take the no 4/4 and make it plural

9:54 pm

beebee

pinecone05

I'm down to my last word...should I ask for a clue or keep monkey typing? Do most people try to find their last word without help?

10:11 pm

scatty

beebee, what kind of things do you have on your land, i used to have sheep, bullocks, well calves until they were fat enough, they are more fun when they are small, the female calves have to go out to pasture and were always breaking out to my dad stuck with bullocks after that, we also grew corn and had apple orchards

10:11 pm

pinecone05

okay...I give up. Can I have a clue for the last re please?

10:13 pm

beebee

scatty-
we are an ag. farm- corn, wheat, soybeans- my husband refuses to have cattle again

10:14 pm

beebee

pine- to run again- make run past tense

10:14 pm

scatty

the last re is a very close spelling to a tall lanky bird that pinches fish out of ponds, just change the last vowel to the first vowel, hope that makes sense

10:15 pm

pinecone05

thank you Bee Bee and Scatty....I finished! Whew.

10:16 pm

beebee

wtg- pine

10:16 pm

JoyLee

beebee, what put him off cattle i was married at 19 and moved away from the farm, i still miss it 25 yrs later, if i had the land i would have a few sheep, the trouble i would have was getting rid of the males, i'd want to keep all of them, the year i left school, i took one of my sock lambs back to school for a visit, freckles was so well behaved, i didn't need to put a lead on her, mind you she did widdle in one of the classrooms

10:18 pm

amills

I have a question, I am new to this and just upgraded. I have the little stats board, but where does it say (for example) re 4/4?

10:19 pm

pinecone05

the words starts with re it is 4 letters long and worth 4 points...all the tiles have points associated with them

10:19 pm

renfield

way to go pine - !!!!!!!

10:20 pm

amills

right, but it just shows the first letter, how do I know what the second letter is? and how long it is?

10:21 pm

scatty

re is the first two letters of the word you are looking for, the first 4 means there are four letters in the word, and the second 4 means that if you add up the numbers on the letters on the grid, they will add up to 4

10:21 pm

pinecone05

ty renfield -- l really liked all the !

10:21 pm

pinecone05

in the friends of babble section there is babblers anon...this board has the list of second letters under the general category

10:21 pm

beebee

scatty- sounds lovely, i want livestock- but he's not interested- so, i just bring things home as i see fit. we went to the mountains and i saw these long hair cows, can't remember the name- i think they come from ireland(?) not sure- i really want one for a pet, but they said it was too hot here- maybe the were called a belted someting i don't know and sure don't know how to spell it, but they were beautiful

10:22 pm

amills

ok, but how do I get that list?

10:23 pm

pinecone05

click on babblers anon and then click on general to get the list

10:23 pm

amills

great, thank you

10:23 pm

It's gonna be a good day - I finished ! Thanks for the help :)

10:25 pm

scatty

if yo go to babblers anon, right click, and ask for another window to come uo, general, left click on that and stat puzzle will come up, scroll down and you will have all the stats, if you keep scrolling you will get to two letter stats, when you first start, it tends to make it easy, but after a while you wont need it as much

Wishing you a restful slumber, Scatty

GreyWoulf

10:51 pm

doxy1lover

GW, the definition for oo4 - not regular or scheduled; odd

10:51 pm

Dianne

Lshutt - si 5 one is the si4 with the last letter doubled.
The other is the same 1st three letters then double the 3rd letter and add a vowel.

10:51 pm

GreyWoulf

oops, late not later

10:51 pm

It's one of those that doesn't exist in singular format

10:55 pm

doxy1lover

thanks dianne, sounds as good as anything I can think of.

10:55 pm

Lshutt - take the si 5/10 and double the third letter.
