Dee was marvelous with her list but I couldn't keep up.
Lickety is up now though.

LOL I have the first and last "cl' words. I'm really going strong here.
That was my first - I tried to build a 7 from there but no luck so far.
I've known some of those groups too!
Coluld it be 'clickish' sort of?
Thanks, just couldn't think how to spell it.
LOL I had to take my youngest daughter out of public school in her soph year of HS and sent her to a prep school......public school was hell for her, her locker mate was selling drugs there. At prep they were carrying liquor in their cars. Oh well. she gpt a terrific education but was miserable there too.
Hey there, Rose. Was wondering where you were.
went and saw 'twelve years a slave' today. it's a real tear-jerker.
That's on my list, as is The Monuments Men.
and there is another one called 'belle'. looks amazing.
Has ec7-32 been clued? I've been blabbing and forgot to look.
Saw previews for both, when I saw The Book Thief. Really want to see them!
Rose, who is in Monuments Men?
George Clooney and many others!
Has anyone seen Judy Dench's latest offering?
Naw, hun, I was blabbing.
and guess what? the cinema was up 2 flights of stairs, which yours truly walked up, and then walked back down, very slowly, but i did do it.
do you find it harder going down Rose?
it is scary, pugs. my heart goes out to all those families. so many grieving.
absolutely, flosey. the spirit is willing, the flesh is saying, you want me to do what? you've got to be kidding!
the message just ain't getting through. bend ze knee, bend ze knee. and the knee's saying...say what?
good to be able to laugh at ourselves eh!
yeah, pugs. they had this chair thingy that goes up and down on the handrail. i thought, i am not going to use that. for goodness sake!

Starts like a French word for small, ends in Spanish cheer.
Courtney Love thinks she's found the missing Malaysian plane. Man, you don't know whether to laugh or to cry.
How did your corned beef turn out, Cos?
I think we need some more t's in the grid NOT!

last CL was an usual spelling - never seen before.
I am looking to spell a cl word that I have never seen before. A common word, something you see every day?
still missing lots of c's . . .
Say the secret word and a little duck will come down, and you will 100 dollars.
"How did you meet your husband?" "He just pulled up alongside me and honked." "What was he- a goose?"
You have to give up this grid for le4.
I'm a bit tired today.
But no one is here to care.
Just got on...looks like a toughy!
Lots of leftover St. Patrick's Day party food in there Matches. People here were celebrating like nuns.
Hi all -- crossy, are you around?
Mmmm.... anyone have experience with Efudex, the chemo cream?
Efudex has been used since 1970 for pre and existing cancers on skin. The pain and other side effects are bad, from what I researched, but wondered if maybe those were more extreme cases.... Also wondering if someone tried a different approach.
ah, I don't know much about skin cancer, sorry!
Guess I'm feeling a bit scared about it.
this is for you, ch1212?
and scared is perfectly appropriate, IMHO!
boy, that is certainly true, jill!
Yes. I had a squamous cell carcinoma removed in December, and today the doc did two more biopsies, then also prescribed the chemo cream for my hands and arms.
Well, Frank would have if he'd had insurance. Had someone today that hadn't had one since -had polyps then, should have been every 3-5. We spent 90 minutes on a 20 minute procedure, found and removed more than 15 polyps today, most of them ugly looking.
Glad you got them, Jilly! !!!
Well, I sure hope they hadn't spread beyond that, jill!
So do I uusue; most looked pre-cancerous, but one or more may be cancerous.
They do have the "swallowed" camera method now that does screen through out GI tract.
This would be topical, with an application period 2 - 4 weeks. I'm reading that many patients can't take the pain after 2 weeks, and that the full recovery period is around 3 months. Meantime, I would look like a walking dead with the redness, lesions, rash, cracking skin, etc. would do... ick.
That's where I'm hopeful, Jilly -- the efficacy of Efudex cream is really good.
ch1212, remember that not everyone gets all the side effects - in fact, probably nobody gets ALL the side effects. You may find that it's not too horrible.
anyway, off to walk the dog, bbl! Will be thinking of you, ch1212!
Also a good point, uu. Thanks! Have fun on your walk!
And on that cheerier no4/4, I'll go start supper.
the one after the high school group?
i'm looking, i would think it may have an o init?
Jilly, your clue at 5.47, was that for the cl7 or the 6 after it?
can i get STATS for the i word please?
<---did not screw up clue for on4/5!
anyone have STATS for the 8 and 9 words?
sorry i was watching a craft programme.Me too Jaxx, and enjoy Jill.What's svai?
ha, finally got the 9!
Swai is South Asian catfish.
I don't know about the UK, but certain types of fish get "trendy" here. It was tilapia for a while, now it's swai.
It's nice to have "proud parent" moments. Good for you. And good for her too.
We get tilapia here, the bairn who loves fish didn't like it, so maybe i would? we seem to like different fish...surprise surprise!!
It was great to have her dad there as normally it is in the Summer and he's away and i could see that he was proud and he doesn't give much away normally but after 17 years with him i know the signs!
I'm glad your husband was there. Sometimes it feels weird to go to those things as a single when all the other parents are coming in double.
Charming picture of Miss 2Bit in her Irish green.
Ah Good. I know when my sister gets sleep over time with her granddaughter it is a total fun fest for both of them.
can't find my last word... pe 7/32?
hello again babbleworld! Here to finish my last 25.
Let me know if you need anything HH.
52 to go - trying to get halfway before listing...almost there!
Here to clue if needed!
evening all. back for the last half.
I have nothing nice to say about that grid, other than "it's over"
my goal is just halfway tonight.
I know, jes... I am always taking the easy way on teaching nights.
i took the easy half last night... not sure i'll make it through the hard half; it's not looking any easier tonight.
wouldn't it be better if the whole thing were hard?
professional?! you can get paid for that?
huh. i suppose that'd do it.
Graduated magna WooT laude from Wooters U!
((Jilly)) I saw a mug on Amazon today that reminded me of you. I said "Be nice to your nurses...we keep the doctors from killing you." Sad, but true.
Since you have that PhD in WooT, guess we have to call you Dr. Nurse Jilly!
Only too true....I also like the one (though FAR too old to wear it) that says "Cute enough to stop your heart, smart enough to start it again"
That's a good one! My fav t-shirt says "If you don't like my opinion of you...you can always change."
Sunny and spring like...darest I hope??!!
((ruru)) I have been missing you!
jilly, I wanted to say hello from Helena. We are neighbors!
Enjoy it. They are saying that it will be warm on Thursday for the first day of Spring, but then it seems like they are going to put us back in the freezer for later.
We don't have any weather in Phoenix....just heat.
LOL..same here, but we're getting snow on Thursday.
HEllo abetterjulie...I was born in Helena!!
Come on up, we still have some around Boston for you, Mimi. We will even send it to you.
That makes 5 of us in MT now!!
Cool! We live right outside of it in York.
Gotta get back to work...swamped...just taking a break. Have a good night, everyone, and hugs all around.
So Montana must have the highest proportion of Babblers in their population of any state.
Oh, wow! Really? I had no idea. Who else?
Wow, that's a new place for me..had to google it!
Does anyone have a clue for ae5?
Well having a small population to start with helps.
ty Leslie. Babble blindness was striking deep.
And lots of land to boot!
Going in circles on this grid wht!
Now really cool abetterjulie...I am an RN also!!
Many years ago when I lived in New Hampshire and drove cross country through Montana, I remember noticing that Montana had about the same population as New Hampshire but was 20 times as big.
That was a big point when we were back east. Took 10 hours to drive from MA to VA...saw 9 states...you can drive 10 hours and not be out of MT!
And generally you drive a lot faster there than you can here. And drivers here are not known for being slow.
That is wonderful, Jilly. Where do you work?
wht, we went on a road trip w a friend and she drove 80 the entire time. It was terrifying!
is to8 built from to6?
In the 70's I was stopped in Montana on a Sunday morning for going 70 on a two lane road. I was fearing the worst but the ticket was for $5 for wasting natural resources.
Time for bed for me. Happy Babbling all.
are you kidneying us jes?
Hi sue, how are you tonight?
jes.. was just er...ah.. er...well..
nah, i was just beating ruru to the naughty.
HOW much more SPECIFIC does one have to BE ?
ah, I was wondering why the star wasn't working, thanks!!
GO jes! You can do it!!
Okay, my milli-second is upnow! Goodnight to all babblers!
