12:21 am

Chessy

Good thanks Sprite, although keep trying to input 'cigar' from this puzzle! How are things with you?

12:21 am

sprite

Yeah, a surprising grid here and there ;)

12:21 am

sprite

Trying to get 'fiddle' to work, but otherwise very good, thank you :)

12:58 am

I got Hugabugs e8/45. Anyone get other 8?

1:02 am

Hugabugs

Man... this is a toughie

1:03 am

Also HP's spell to get something. Won't take, though.

1:13 am

mcherbalt

Anyone have the ol 5/12 that isn't a song from the 60s or pervious?

1:13 am

cybernan

I have a wi 8/80

1:15 am

corpsvalue

Cybernan! I just got that one as you posted!

1:21 am

mrpresident

any clue for the ca7 please?

1:23 am

Hugabugs

mrp - it sounds like a piece of prickly desert plant.... no def.

1:26 am

sprite

mrP: being of any of numerous succulent plants of warm, arid regions of the New World, having fleshy, leafless, usually spiny stems, and typically having solitary, showy flowers

1:29 am

cybernan

ei 7/36?

1:31 am

sprite

Would you like a def, cybernan, or is it a find?

1:35 am

cybernan

need a clue, sprite!

1:36 am

cybernan

Didn't know there were that many ci words!

1:37 am

sprite

I wondered, because you already knew the points total :)
It's the adjective of a greek word for phantom.

1:38 am

sprite

Yeah, they are tough!
Just found the italian one and hit myself over the head for not seeing that earlier.

1:39 am

sprite

Down to 6 now... did I mention I HATE K-words?

1:39 am

cybernan

I gave up and consulted brandyjack's list!

1:40 am

cybernan

I've finished the k's -- it's the c's that are giving me trouble.

1:43 am

sprite

I have this absolutely blind spot with Ks. Don't know why, but every time I get stuck there. Well, at least I did pretty well on the vowel words, that's a change, lol.
Do you have the plural Ci5 for pointed, protruding things, sounds like a woman's name? The 7 builds from that and there is a 6 that comes close and ends in things you don't want in your hair. Or anywhere else for that matter.

1:43 am

cybernan

I'm no wiser on the ei 7

1:44 am

Tella

Time to test your Mind! Heh! Heh!

1:44 am

sprite

Ei7: start with the Ei4/5, then change last vowel and make it into an adjective.

1:49 am

cybernan

Thank you Sprite -- got everything but the ci 6/24

1:49 am

sprite

That's the one that ends in those bugging things you don't want in your hair.

lshult

Missed out on the whole of christmas & new year living here, and the hammers gave me little consalation (1 point uin four games)!!!

hiya Jacula, yep, i was a huge fan as a youngster. Love your post on bab anon btw. :o)

6:29 am

Jacula

Bobsta - I'm going to have to write a list of Babble letter values on my palm if we have to talk in Babblespeak at the convention.:-) Incidentally, Brum would be cheaper than London as a venue.

6:31 am

Bobsta

I did think that as well Jacula, also it should be cheaper for people to get to. as well as the drink being cheaper.
As soon as there is enough interest i'll start organising it, making enquries into a suitable venue and such.

6:31 am

Alleyn

Jera

*looks blankly at Jacula*

Sorry, ignorant American... translate more, please...

6:51 am

Jacula

Jera - Gary Numan, OMD, Adam & The Ants etc.

6:52 am

Jera

How about Duran Duran...?

6:52 am

Bobsta

6:52 am

6:54 am

caitlyn

Afternoon all. Can anyone help please with fa7/48 thanks

6:54 am

FMitch

dodgey - dubions, not totally trustworthy, of questionable repute.

Hi Everyone!

6:55 am

FMitch

sorry typo, that should have been dubious

6:55 am

Anj

One Hit Wonders, even better ; )

Hi Everyone : )

6:55 am

Jera

That's what I thought... see, I LIKE Duran Duran, so i wasn't sure if I wanted to insult them... guess I'll choose the anyway... like Babble wasn't hard enough!!

6:56 am

Angelsong

anyt clues for FA 7/48? I'm getting dizzy looking for it.

6:57 am

FMitch

fa8 = fa4/8 + same ending as the ca8

6:57 am

Haz1558

fa7/48 - unassailable truth plus vowel plus identification

6:57 am

Jacula

Jera - I wouldn't call the bands 'dodgy' either. It was just another muscial phase. Well, Public Image Ltd might come under dodgy due to that awful wailing album, 'The Flower of Romance'...

6:58 am

Jacula

* or even a 'musical' phase. LOL.

6:59 am

Anj

fa7/47 - snippet of information that orbits between Mars & Jupiter ; )

6:59 am

FMitch

Jac, glad to see I am not the only one who can't type today. Probably expains why I am hating this grid right now :((

6:59 am

Jacula

Ooh, thanks for that fa7 clue Haz. I hadn't got that either. Just one 'f word' left to find now.

6:59 am

Anj

...whoops, that should have be fa7/48 - trajectory off a bit : / lol!

7:00 am

FMitch

Obviously we all have Mondayitus today (v contagious)!

7:00 am

Jacula

FMitch - I couldn't type yesterday either. Dunno what's wrong with my fingers. I'll blame the keyboard. LOL.

7:01 am

miametro

morning all.not a very nice grid at all today!

7:01 am

Christa

morning all ...bbnaz

7:04 am

Jacula

I've worked out a way to get my last 'f word'. If I can just drag the grid a bit, transpose the o and the f on the 3rd row, I can have 'folk'. I'll shift the 4th line t to the final l for 'newt' as well.

*Tries to drag grid squares......... FAILS. DRAT!*

7:05 am

FMitch

Hi Mia and Christa.
Jac - LOL, newt has been bugging me right from the start.

7:06 am

EvaNadine

mornin all!

wake me up before you go-go!

7:07 am

Anj

Morning EvaN : )

7:07 am

7:08 am

Bubbles

HI All

7:09 am

miametro

is anyone else thinking there are far too many i's in this grid?

7:09 am

Anj

Morning Jen : )

EvaN, not bad thanks. Saw a Clash tribute band (now there's an 80s icon) but mostly veeged after that. How about you? How's the BF's cold ??

7:10 am

FMitch

Mia, there is far too many of everything and they are all in the wrong position!!!!!

7:10 am

Jacula

I see the grid still doesn't recognise 'lilo'.:-(

Think I'll go and eat. BBL.

7:10 am

Anj

Mia, I'm just annoyed at the As, but that's not unusual lol.

Hi Bubbles : )

7:10 am

EvaNadine

my weekend was ok...judged a dance team competition saturday afternoon then got lunch with a friend...
spent the rest of the weekend with dave...who really isnt that bad, but insists hes nearing death...heh

7:10 am

Bubbles

hi anj

7:10 am

Anj

Hayyyulp! Which fa4/8 does the fa8 build off please?

My brain is not up to Monday...

7:12 am

Jera

Morning, Jen! Don't think I'll make it for coffee today... kids are going to school, but I'm dragging badly... think I'm going back to bed after I get Gwyd off...

7:12 am

Haz1558

No fa 8

7:12 am

EvaNadine

i just realized im at work and seeing my correct icon today...
*woohoo!!*

7:12 am

Jen

7:13 am

FMitch

Anj - today is Monday and that is a fa**. it's not a lie.

7:13 am

miametro

i've only found 27 words. apalling.

7:14 am

Anj

Cheers Haz...presumably they were 7s then : )

I'm getting disinformation lol!! : D

EvaN, have you been giving Dave his Day Nurse then??

7:14 am

Jera

Got sort of a dizzy headache, so i think so... Sprite didn't look real good so I wouldn't be surprised if I had to go pick her up early today... I always know when she's feeling bad from her eyes... she gets the red, watery thing first symptom...

7:15 am

Anj

Cheers FMitch...I havn't got BJ's list yet so I got a little confused lol.

Hey I've changed my icon to the Clash so Classix Nouveaux is up for grabs if anyone wants them...

7:15 am

Jen

You guys just get better! I have all the time in the world now! :)

So, this supposed to be any 80's pop star, right? That's why I chose my idol, Olivia. But if it's more specific than that, I can change.

7:16 am

EvaNadine

jen -- i think its supposed to be "new romantic" genre 80 pop stars...heh

7:17 am

Jera

Just saw the fa7 hint... now I can stop trying to stretch the fa6... wasn't working anyway!

7:17 am

Anj

...bummer. Might have to go back to Classix then... : /

7:17 am

Jera

My guys are considered dodgy, Jen... I don't know what I'm gonna do...

7:18 am

EvaNadine

heh, if it were just regular 80s, id probably have Poison -- the BESTEST 80s band ever!

7:18 am

Jen

Hmmm, guess I'll come up with something else then. Can it just be an album?

7:18 am

Jera

*starts singing Hungry Like the Wolf loudly but not too obnoxiously*

7:19 am

Anj

There's always Simple Minds...

7:19 am

Jera

I was at NC State late 80's... that was like, totally our theme song...

7:19 am

EvaNadine

like, totally, jera.
;)

7:20 am

Jera

Fer suurrrrre...

7:20 am

Anj

Nuthin' but a good time huh? ; )

7:20 am

EvaNadine

anj -- how can i resist??

7:21 am

Jera

Even cooler, my dorm was a block away from the basketbal stadium... back in the good old days when I could walk a block...

7:22 am

Jen

Okay... I changed.

8:56 am

EvaNadine

8:56 am

beebee

babs-

8:56 am

Atalante

8:56 am

Anj

Fmitch, I prefer black pudding to haggis, but I prefer hogs pudding : )

8:57 am

Jen

I gotta go with tripe in the disgusting food category... texture make me yurk just thinking about it

Babs1

8:58 am

beebee

9:05 am

Atalante

haggis is meant to be very very nice - if you can get past the thought of what you're eating!

9:05 am

ToeSockMonkey

9:43 am

Babs1

fi 7...word that means to join in and connect with, but missing a beginning vowel from how it's usually used.

Hello peeps, how many words today please?

9:45 am

lola100

fa7 builds off the fa4/8 and ends the same way as the proper word for piles. The ca7 is the same but for the first letter : )

9:45 am

Babs1

fa and ca 7's have same 6 letters..fa one starts with the opposite of a lie... a truth.. or fa**

9:46 am

Jacula

The 'oi's' are very apt, considering I've just been helping Paul fix the fiddly, 2-halved collars on 2 inlet valves of his car engine!

9:46 am

lola100

....and the ac7 is the ac5/12 plus two letters (think famous art gallery) : )

lola100

Yay! i'm done : )

Allyen, lots of reasons. Work is becoming very difficult to find in Durban and coming here was an opportunity I felt I should take. I have a small daughter and feel that I can give her a better standard of education and a more secure upbringing here....but I do miss my old home a lot! : )

10:09 am

Atalante

10:13 am

hydra

I do as many as I can first, then, when I can't find any more, I go to the AZ list.

10:14 am

Babs1

Just finished too...whew! need to pack, etc...Mia..I always use the second letter list and still use a2z often when impatient and stuck.....I know there's the babble studs that don't use any helpers...: - \

10:15 am

hurshy

greetings all on this lovely lovely day - can i get assistance with af6?

10:15 am

FMitch

Mia, mythology has it that there are babblers out there that can do the grid without any assistance. Sprite in the Netherlands is one. Personally I couldn't do w/o BJ's list to finish.

10:15 am

Babs1

ci 6/24...ci + those annoying little things kids get in their hair!

10:16 am

pinecone05

a + a f 5 word is af 6

10:16 am

Atalante

I can do it *sometimes* without the 2nd word list, but I usually end up getting help for the last 10 - 20 words. But this d*** CI6 I cant find for love nor money!

10:16 am

Atalante

10:23 am

lola100

Mia, I try find as many as I can first but always use BJ's list to finish. It would just take too long for me to finish (if I even could, lol!) without it : )

10:23 am

Hey, no marathon is "just" a marathon. Way to go.

12:35 pm

ok - i'm inspired..but i'm too tired 8)

12:37 pm

Cadfan -
true. but San Diego would sound more fun. seeing half-naked-people-due-to-warm- weather might ease the pain of running. Montana just has mountain people who join in thinking we're running after a bear or something.
kidding. sort of.

hi everyone!

12:47 pm

nearly, Ren.

the saddest race was my first half marathon and let's just say the girl ahead of me was much too big for her britches. motivation to pass her. quickly. difficult to stare at jello for 13 miles. mesmerizing at first. then, just not right. then you can't NOT look. oy. the perils of long distance running.

12:49 pm

hello : ) New Romantics is looking good!

1:03 pm

hurshy

(i am unfamiliar with this "new romantics" term so i am a kitten instead, sorry)

1:05 pm

Babbler

oh hurshy! you must have heard of Duran Duran, Spandau Ballet, Adam & The Ants, Visage, The Human League, etc??

1:06 pm

hurshy

i've heard of duran duran, but not the others

1:06 pm

hurshy

i wasn't allowed to listen to the radio when i was a kid - didn't start until '91, so i missed the 80's.

1:06 pm

efor1124

hurshy, you've probably heard the songs & not known who it was (sorry, HUGE 80s fan here!) :)

1:07 pm

smaller

pbr-
oops sorry, stepped away. come to think of it, hot timale's clue was after about 3 others that made no sense to me so it was all 4 needed to get it through my thick skull. did hurshy's clue help?

1:07 pm

hurshy

probably true, efor! :)

1:07 pm

Babbler

when Duran Duran released their first single, Planet Earth, they were very New Romantic. In fact, they mentioned it in their song. *reminisces over their performance....*

1:07 pm

hurshy

even simpler ca7 clue: it's very very similar to fa7

1:11 pm

efor1124

Human League sang Don't You Want Me... I think... babbler? I ALWAYS get them & Animotion mixed up!

1:13 pm

Babbler

yes, they did, efor. it was their biggest single. : )

1:14 pm

efor1124

ok, so Animotion sang "Obsession"... doubt I'll keep that remember that for too long! lol

1:15 pm

Babbler

'Obsession' rings a bell, but I don't remember the name Animotion?? I'll have to look them up to remind me.

1:17 pm

efor1124

i have a 7-cd set of 80's music (about 150 songs) & i'm 99% sure they're both on there. i will have to check later. 'cuz i can't remember what spandau ballet sang

1:17 pm

Babbler

ahaaa!! yes I remember this tune :D

1:18 pm

Babbler

oh wow, the Top of The Pops show when Duran Duran first appeared, along with Spandau Ballet is burned in my memory. It was fantastic!! We were all talking about it at school the next day :D

1:19 pm

Its too good to be true.

In fact, its too good to be anything by Spandau Ballet.

V. old New Romantics joke for you there. Hi all!

Babbler

well, I'm going to oooowww - woooow, Fade To Grey and go and watch Coronation Street. :D:D:D LOL !

1:24 pm

Dachef

I am far too young to remember New Romanticism. Really jealous really, cos my generation never really had anything like that. You guys got amazing, cutting bands like Duran Duran, Spandau ballet et al, and we got Kylie Minogue and Jason Donovan. Whoo-hoo.

1:25 pm

Babbler

I feel so sorry for you Dachef, you missed a treat! I turned 15 in 1980, so I was there for the lot! :D

1:26 pm

Babbler

no worries, efor, I replaced it with Visage... ; )

1:27 pm

efor1124

i was only 2 in 1980, but 8 years of dance classes exposed me to A LOT of that music. it was huge then for us to dance to that kind of music. the costumes... VERY 80s.... neon colors everywhere! LOL

6:55 pm

Jacula

Dachef - No, it's not you. This grid is small but mean.

6:57 pm

7:00 pm

Jacula

2nd ol5/12 - Of, relating to, or derived from oil. Main ingredient of margarine. It has an 'ICky' ending.

7:01 pm

i've been singing that wi****** song jera mentioned...i really don't like that song...then i started...don't you want me...

7:07 pm

7:08 pm

beebee

hey ren- i was actually wondering- lol

7:08 pm

Dachef

Jacula - its actually an album cover from one of Stephen Strange's post-visage incarnations. I believe they were called something like Visage: the Second, or something equally unimaginative.

7:10 pm

renfield

aknitter

re 5/20 and re 6/21 -- i seem to be re challenged tonight

7:11 pm

Dachef

"dont forget I put you where you are now, and I can put you back again".

Seriously though, if he had really said that to her, and she stayed with him, then she deserves everything she got.

7:11 pm

Jacula

re5/20 - add a consonant that sounds like a question to your re4 above it.

7:11 pm

renfield

don't you want me baby, don't you want me....oh

7:12 pm

Jacula

re6/21 - add a consonant that sounds like a beverage to the end of the re5 before it.

7:12 pm

beebee

re6/21 = re5/12(old) + the consanent that looks like a cross(lowercase)

7:13 pm

JeeWhiz

Can anyone help me with the en8? thanks!

7:13 pm

renfield

7:13 pm

Just been checking my overloaded bookshelves for a book I bought last year about the 100 most depressing songs of all time. Was wondering if Don't You Want Me was broken down in it. There's a hilarious breakdown of Bobby Golsboro's 'Honey' in there. Can't find it right now though.:-(

7:24 pm

Dachef

if there was such a thing as a real human keague - chavs would be fighting relegation to Division 2!

The first thing I met was a fly with a buzz
And the sky with no clouds
The heat was hot and the ground was dry
But the air was full of sound...'

Jacula

Got 'em all now, Peri?

8:00 pm

beebee

everyone sing:
It's Christmas time
There's no need to be afraid
At Christmas time
We let in light and we banish shade
And in our world of plenty
We can spread a smile of joy
Throw your arms around the world
At Christmas time
But say a prayer
Pray for the other ones
At Christmas time it's hard
But when you're having fun
There's a world outside your window
And it's a world of dread and fear
Where the only water flowing
Is the bitter sting of tears
And the Christmas bells that ring
There are the clanging chimes of doom
Well tonight thank God it's them instead of you

8:01 pm

72 Temple Owl

left standing in the lurch, in a church, with people saying

Jacula

Quote from my book about Alone Again...

'By the time the big day arrives...the bride realises she's about to marry an erratically employed drip... 'I'm outa here,' she says, leaving him 'standing in the lurch at a church', which, truth be told, is subconsciously what he hoped would happen because it helps confirm his misanthropic see-I-told-you-so view of the world.'

8:05 pm

72 Temple Owl

but it seemed so popular at the time - go figure!

8:07 pm

Beebee, you could be a scary flower.

10:23 pm

beebee

ren y/w refresh iam a venus fly trap

10:23 pm

GreyWoulf

Well, if everyone is so sure -- time for me to cannonball into the deep end of the grid! Hopefully I won't get to absorbed in chatting ;D

10:24 pm

beebee

mab- great minds lol

10:24 pm

mab

It is a somewhat difficult one, gw, so be forewarned.

10:25 pm

beebee

gw- it is very trifling, but we will help you- not sure if it would be more of a hinderence though

10:25 pm

renfield

ow ow little shop of horrors 8)

10:25 pm

GreyWoulf

When one is surrounded by friends, nothing is too difficult -- the really tricky part will be when Kirsten decides that she wants my undivided attention :)

10:26 pm

beebee

ren- bring out the new barbie pleeeaaaassssssseeeeee

10:27 pm

beebee

gw- are those wolves kissing or is it a mirror image?

10:28 pm

JBsAnno

The song is defeated! I finished- whoo hoo!
And GW, if I can, you can!

10:28 pm

beebee

10:28 pm

renfield

ok - here's daisy barbie...

10:28 pm

mab

ooo, great pic bb. Funny, I couldn't refresh for Jac's slipper kitty. My computer is so random.

I've done nothing to prepare for tomorrow's voyage to Connecticut. How I don't want to do this....but I do want Malka to be well. I'll look for functionning tape recorder.

10:29 pm

GreyWoulf

They're kissing, beebee

Congrats, JB!!!
-- I'm off and running now!

10:29 pm

Jacula

beebee - apart from the Venus Flytrap you could also be a Drosera Capensis (another carnivourous plant, but with a flower) or the spooky looking Bacca Chantrieri (the Bat Flower, Cat's Whiskers or Devil Flower).

10:29 pm

JBsAnno

Thanks, beebee, couldn't do it without the clues, whether or not MamaBear actually types a word!
Thanks for your help, cluegivers for the last 2 hours!!!

10:29 pm

mab

I can see it now, gw, but I thought it was a kitty at first.

10:30 pm

GreyWoulf

LOL, mab -- Kirsten said the same thing :)

10:30 pm

JBsAnno

oh, good, mab, I'm not the only one who sees a kitty. Cute, huh?

10:30 pm

spatialbean

yeah looks like a painting of a kitty face

10:30 pm

GreyWoulf

ROFLMAO!!!!

10:30 pm

mab

Or the huge orchid that smells like rotting flesh when it blooms. No, too scary.

10:31 pm

Jacula

I saw 2 wolves, nose to nose, but now you've all said about the kitty face I can see that, too.

10:31 pm

beebee

mab- my thoughts are with you and malka- we will be hoping for her(?) speedy recovery

10:31 pm

JBsAnno

Speaking of kitties, I have 3 hungry ones to feed. I'll check in for a progress report in a few minutes, GW, then I gotta go to bed. Tomorrow's an up b4 5am day!

10:31 pm

beebee

ren- I LOVE HER

10:32 pm

Jacula

Amorphophallus titanum - the rotting flesh plant.

10:32 pm

beebee

gw- that's sweet- kissing wolves- who knew

10:32 pm

renfield

i thought it was a kitty face w. lavender paint for highlights.... yes dr - that's what i see....

10:32 pm

JBsAnno

mmm, pretty (smelly) flowers...
(a la Homer Simpson)

10:33 pm

renfield

thanks bb - she's kind of having a bad hair day...

10:33 pm

mab

Amorphophallus - great word.

10:33 pm

GreyWoulf

Wolves are fascinating in the degree of social interaction they demonstrate within the pack -- It part of why I love them so much

10:34 pm

beebee

jac- thax for the suggestions- i'm not very flower literate, but damn you know some stuff and your moma hooked you up with the morphine- could there be a connection :)

10:34 pm

Jacula

LOL, beebee.

10:36 pm

beebee

i don't see a kitty face- what's wrong with me?

10:36 pm

JBsAnno

GW, I know you're getting into the puzzle and all
(HINT - think words with "oi" in them!), but your comment reminded me of David Eddings Begariad series (a five book set plus two more about major characters)- ever read it?

10:36 pm

spatialbean

Oh Malka kitty get better.

10:37 pm

JBsAnno

beebee, keep sniffing the flower, you'll see a cat...eventually...

10:37 pm

spatialbean

hahaha JB

10:37 pm

beebee

jb- lol, but i can't work those dot pictures either- i never get to see the good stuff

10:38 pm

Jacula

beebee - tilt your head to the right and squint a little and then you'll see the kitty.

10:38 pm

mab

bb: she will be fine. the tx is non-invasive and has no side affects, and they treat them like royalty at the clinic (each cat gets a two-story 'condo'). I may not be alright, however.

10:38 pm

renfield

bb = stare the the point where the noses meet - ...optical ....

10:39 pm

renfield

we'll be here for you mab....

10:39 pm

beebee

jac- i see it i see it- yeaaaaaaa for me- that's a big head kitty- thax

10:39 pm

spatialbean

How long does she have to stay, Mab?

10:39 pm

GreyWoulf

JB -- Oh yes! my favorite line from the series -- right after Brill is thrown over the parapet ---

Belgarath -- Where's Brill?
Silk (innocently)-- Trying to learn to fly last I saw him

Then they heara thud, followed a few seconds later by a second thud

Silk (looking over the parapet) -- Does bouncing count?

10:39 pm

mab

I just refreshed, and I still see regular barbie. Am I supposed to see something else, ren?

10:40 pm

renfield

good going bb.....!!!!!

10:40 pm

renfield

barbie w/ a yellow daisy in her hair????

10:41 pm

mab

federal guidlines require that she stay three days to allow some of the radioactivity wear off.

10:41 pm

JBsAnno

Eddings did his characters very well, and I love the repartee.
Did you read Polgara and Belgarath's books, too?
(Goodbye Brill - keep bouncing!)

10:41 pm

beebee

mab- i'm glad, but it's always so hard on them when they have to be away from home and us- my "son" goes to the groomers every week and when i pick him up he acts like its been a week when its only been 3 hours

10:41 pm

Jacula

REFRESH to see Amorphophallus titanum (one type) on my icon. Aptly named! LOL. (9 feet high!)

10:42 pm

GreyWoulf

Read them all, however I did not like the Sapphire Knight books -- they just seemed a little too heavy on the whole "Men have no free will because they love women" theme

However -- the Redemption of Althalus was great!

10:43 pm

mab

Having refreshed at least 10 times, I now have Jac's last image (pre-amorphophallus) and bb, but still regular barbie. Random, completely random is my computer.

10:44 pm

beebee

jac- very cool

10:44 pm

lshult

morning everyone.
stuck on two e's
ed7/44 & et6/18?

10:44 pm

JBsAnno

I'll have to read that after Terry Prachett's Thud; I started Althaeus (um, you know) once but couldn't get into it.
Yeah, Sapphire Knight seemed to me the last squeezings out of the fruit of the Belgariad.

10:45 pm

Jacula

Mab - just Google the plant name under 'images' and you'll see lots of different sorts. I'll be putting my own flowers from my garden back on soon.

10:45 pm

JBsAnno

Ow!
Scrappy's so hungry, he's started on my hair.
AFK for a few, folks!

10:46 pm

beebee

mab- i will describe ren's barbie to you- she has long yellow flowing hair and a yellow daisy on the right side of her hair.

mab- did you change your icon or am i going crazy?

10:46 pm

beebee

hey is

10:47 pm

Jacula

ed7/44 - someone who instructs to as to enlighten, esp. morally.

10:47 pm

Jacula

et6/18 - French word for 'star'.

10:47 pm

mab

Sometimes if I change my icon, I will get the other new images as well. I haven't. Must get to know my cache.
