12:15 am

someone please tell me the official difference between an herb & a spice - i was going to use dill, but then i thought, no that's an herb

12:15 am

melon, you're such a go4/9 ball!

12:16 am

Herbs vs. Spices We often use the words herb and spice interchangeably. Herbs and spices are obtained from plants. (Salt is neither a spice nor an herb. It is actually a mineral.) Herbs and spices are used primarily for adding flavor and aroma to food. And both are best used fresh but can be saved by drying. While there are similarities, there also are subtle differences between herbs and spices. Herbs are obtained from the leaves of herbaceous (non-woody) plants. They are used for savory purposes in cooking and some have medicinal value. Herbs often are used in larger amounts than spices. Herbs originated from temperate climates such as Italy, France, and England. Herb also is a word used to define any herbaceous plant that dies down at the end of the growing season and may not refer to its culinary value at all. Spices are obtained from roots, flowers, fruits, seeds or bark. Spices are native to warm tropical climates and can be woody or herbaceous plants. Spices often are more potent and stronger flavored than herbs; as a result they typically are used in smaller amounts. Some spices are used not only to add taste, but also as a preservative. Some plants are both herbs and spices. The leaves of Coriandrum sativum are the source of cilantro (herb) while coriander (spice) is from the plant's seeds. Dill is another example. The seeds are a spice while dill weed is an herb derived from the plant's stems and leaves.

12:33 am

only one 7 here

me, too - the chess one

12:34 am

Anyone have the an6,7 yet?

12:34 am

thats the one

12:34 am

no 7's, only 2 6's - i'm not so good with the big words, leave those for the smart people to find

12:34 am

ok, tx

12:34 am

I have the an7. German plural for the german An6.

12:35 am

Can you clue the an6? Pls?

12:35 am

Looked up the def to see what it means in English. 1. Biology. The initial clustering of embryonic cells from which a part or an organ develops; primordium. 2. A genetic predisposition to a given trait or personality characteristic. 3. A fundamental principle; the foundation for a future development.

12:36 am

Or: an + site slowness + vowel = 6. Add consonant for the 7.

12:37 am

yes, clearly summer sis not take her ritalin today, can

12:37 am

t wait more than 1/2 hour before asking for clues, lol

12:37 am

*did*

12:38 am

ty sprite

12:38 am

ga 6

12:39 am

I am pretty sure that 'pagh' is Klingon for some kind of (still moving) food.

12:40 am

lol sprite - sounds about right :)

ga6/27 is plural of ga5 - a quick dance - horsy sort

12:41 am

there are 2x ga6/27. Last 2 letters differ.

OK - got the an7 - the German hint helped - in english, an prefix doesn't usually precede p or l, converts to am for the p - enough linguistics....

12:42 am

huh melon?

12:42 am

true, melon.

oh never minds me - i was just trying to say i could not think of any english words that begin ANP or ANL.

it made sense, sprite - i'm a bit punchy - last wet day in ceramics studio is tomorrow - i'm finishing up my second ever teapot

12:43 am

melon - please stop hurting my head! :)

that was a question: it made sense, sprite?

12:44 am

o sprite ty starts tge same but different ending??

ooooh, poor hk, {pat on head, verrry gently}

12:45 am

yes, it did, melon! In Dutch you cannot have ANP either, the N becomes M before P. Not sure about the L, but pretty sure we don't have ANL words either.

oh, looky - i passed halfway & got the 7s - 'nite!

12:45 am

ty melon & wtg!

1:45 am

and yay mkl!

1:45 am

Thanks all. Anyone need any help?

1:45 am

nah, of course not. You will draw more of her the very first time you get another Sith-urge!

1:46 am

mkl, could you please tell me what the other 7 starts with? I have an7/36.

1:47 am

bi7 a real word

1:47 am

there's a ps 4, fran

1:47 am

nah, back to my darling Anakin for the next Sith fix! :P

1:48 am

how many points is that bi6?

1:48 am

30, Fran

1:48 am

Having to do with the church

1:48 am

nan, i have 8 of 9 Ps from the 4th column, that's why i was wondering if there was a PH.

1:48 am

Having to do with the church

1:49 am

thanks sprite.

1:49 am

or with chess.

1:49 am

thanks mkl and sprite! got it.

1:49 am

no ph Fran

1:50 am

oh good mkl, thanks

1:50 am

yw

1:50 am

funny, the p4 and the i4 close together.

1:52 am

is the an7 a normal word?

1:52 am

Not really, Fran. Though in German it is.

1:52 am

Gotta run. Night all and good luck

1:52 am

night mkl!

1:53 am

Nope on the an7

1:53 am

night mkl!

'night mkl

1:54 am

clue for the an6 & an7?

1:54 am

please?

1:55 am

an + site slowness + vowel = 6. Add consonant for the 7.

1:56 am

nice bit of German there!

1:56 am

just found them on morewords right before you clued!

1:56 am

But with a different meaning, as far as I know. I thought in German it means something you send enclosed with a letter.

1:56 am

don't get site slowness?

1:57 am

Then you are one of the few lucky ones, Crone!

1:57 am

yok

1:57 am

crone, think a delay from when you click a button until something happens

1:58 am

can you try again for me? down to 5 words and seeing double

1:59 am

an + f*** (old glory) + vowel

1:59 am

then for 7 add another consonant on the end

18 to go here, and have "hit the wall"

2:00 am

ml, great array of herbs and spices!

2:00 am

I'm down to 12 and calling it a day also -- see you tomorrow :)

2:01 am

'night nan, Andree

ty Fran for the icon compliment... I dug it out of my collection of things snagged from the net

2:03 am

Bye Andree & Cybernan - Hello everyone else

2:03 am

hi lynxxx!

hi lynxxx

2:05 am

ok swap you my firstborn for ps4

depends.... what's your firstborn like?

2:05 am

crone, it's plural of the "prefix" for psychic thinks

2:05 am

lol Crone! You terrible parent! Plural of greek letter.

2:06 am

psis

ps4 ps + I am, you are, he * *

2:06 am

oops

2:06 am

you got it!

2:06 am

I am not, ml :)

2:06 am

lol Crone

2:06 am

crone said a woooord!

I am

at least sometimes

2:07 am

I refuse to be

I cultivate it

2:07 am

and i don't mean the ps

deliberately

2:07 am

he's good vaue (my firstborn) 33 years old, 6'2", dark, handsome and a PhD

btw.... what is it anyway?

ooh, sounds nice Crone... might like him better than the one I have now

2:08 am

where do you want him sent fran?

2:08 am

just thinking the same metal :P

2:08 am

LMAO Crone - does he know you sell him out so easily?

2:08 am

i thought we were swapping? you get my 3-year old?

:o)

2:08 am

grin

2:08 am

Wow Crone - what other clues do you want?

2:08 am

he's used to it now - he used to get cross when he was in his teens

I can't trade... don't have a born, first or otherwise

2:09 am

Run to the s4 and buy a babyborn, meta - will do just as nicely.

2:09 am

my 5'9" slightly overweight husband might not appreciate having him around, especially if he knows i bartered for him.

2:10 am

lynx - you can have the next one down - he's fair, 6'5", gorgeous, but only has a bachelors in science

2:10 am

complete waste of space

2:10 am

no! hold out for a PhD one! lol

might do that sprite... as long as I can give it back for a refund if I don't like it as well as I thought I would

2:11 am

That

2:11 am

That's the nice thing of buying them in a s4 - you can return if not satisfied :)

but, the B.Sci. one is still young enough and malleable enough to "train"

2:12 am

You have done well Crone! any daughters? I have a son I would like to get rid of!

2:12 am

I'm open for bids on the youngest boy. he's a punk and at 6'7" the mohawk looks absurd

good point sprite

maybe they'll let me take one on appro

2:12 am

wow, how tall are you crone?

2:13 am

open for bids, Crone? I'd say, tell me what I get extra and I might consider taking him in.

you've got some big boys Crone

2:13 am

try before you buy Metal ?!

2:13 am

yep lynx got a 23yo doing second year degree in forensic science - she's good value

2:13 am

or better yet, what did you feed them crone?

you betcha lynxxx

if at all possible

2:13 am

i'll shift the whole lot before christmas and save a bundle

2:14 am

Its got to be in the genes! Crone you are amazing - you must be so proud!

2:14 am

i'm only 5'7" and it was like living in a forest of testosterone

2:15 am

no way to hide that much pride, however hard you try, Crone :)

2:15 am

yeh lynx they owe it all to me!! their dad is a useless waste of space

2:16 am

LOL Crone - I am sure not!

they sound like great kids... even mohawk boy...

and he's got time to grow into being as spectacular as his siblings

2:17 am

mohawk boy (30yo) changed his name by deed poll to Puke Punk just to p*** off his dad - and the only person he hasn't told is ? you guessed it

2:17 am

LOL

lol, he sounds like the one I"ve got now... a real s4 stirrer for sure

2:19 am

got that right - but he is cuddly

2:19 am

got to run now cheers all

2:19 am

sounds like you have a great, great family, Crone. Bye!

2:19 am

night crone!

2:19 am

hey hodag

5:04 am

hi jakes-mum ,Wolvie & kthdsn,how is the grid?

5:04 am

pretty good I'd say

5:04 am

not bad so far

5:05 am

Pretty tricky, I'd say. 25 to go.

5:05 am

this is good to know!

5:05 am

hi ya haz

hi haz

5:05 am

hi haz

5:06 am

Hello Wolvie, hodag, kth etc.

5:14 am

I have a bi7, what does the other one begin with please?

5:15 am

an7/36

5:17 am

ty haz is it a regular word that i have a chance of finding?

5:18 am

It's a German plural word for an6/24. Not a common word I would say.

5:19 am

In embryology it's the equivalent of a bud, in psychology it's an inherited trait.

5:20 am

good morning

5:20 am

good morning blood

Good morning Bloodaxe.

5:20 am

hi blood

how's the grid today?

5:21 am

good morning again everyone:)

5:21 am

gm

5:21 am

good morning 6a

5:22 am

I think it's tricky, Bloodaxe. Lots of normal words, but some strange ones to keep you surprised.

5:22 am

well we must keep on our toes, eh?

5:22 am

hi jean and anaw

5:22 am

hi jean

5:23 am

I suppose so, Bloodaxe.

5:23 am

didn't see the bu4/8 for quite a while-must be an hysterical blindness

5:23 am

hi ana

5:24 am

hi jean

5:24 am

I can't find this an

5:24 am

hi eva almost missed your message

5:24 am

similar to make larger, kth

5:25 am

opps - that's the 6

5:25 am

an7 - google Belfast river, then change the final vowel. The singular word is formed by removing the final consonant

5:25 am

figured you were just absorbed-do you have an an7 yet?

5:25 am

add a hump letter for the 7

5:25 am

i just got started

5:26 am

Good morning all. Is the grid nasty or nice today?

5:27 am

ty I have them now, I was looking in completely the wrong direction

5:27 am

pretty good with a few tricks, jac

5:27 am

hi jac it's not bad so far

5:28 am

Good morning Jacula. It depends. Lots of normal words, quite a few strange ones and the grid is structured strangely. But don't let me put you off!

5:28 am

good morning jacula:)

5:28 am

I've found 9 words since my first post. I'll carry on. LOL.

5:29 am

I knew you would carry on regardless!

5:29 am

13 words now. Haz - you know me too well.:)

5:30 am

Haz-I keep googling belfast river and not finding anythng with an an....what am I doing wrong?

5:30 am

Incidentally, Hunting Cat seems okay this morning so I assume it was someone' defrosting dinner (the chicken breast) he nicked last night and not a poisoned one.

5:30 am

eva the river comes after the an

5:30 am

It's an plus the Belfast river (final vowel changed). Sorry, I should have made it clearer.

5:30 am

ah...

5:31 am

Well, I'm glad Hunting Cat is okay, but keep your head down as you go past your neighbours' houses.

5:31 am

sorry-not quite awake yet

5:31 am

I intend to, Haz.:(

5:32 am

jac, has your cat gone criminal?

5:32 am

Good morning Babblers.

5:33 am

morning scrabbler

5:33 am

hi scrabbler

5:33 am

I have been on the receiving end of a thieving cat. Next door's cat once stole a bag containing 4 defrosting pork chops. Difficult to explain to your starving children......

5:33 am

Eva - He brought a large, raw chicken breast home last night. Someone's intended dinner, I think.:(

5:33 am

gm scrabbler

5:33 am

very enterprising...can you send him out for pizza too?

5:34 am

good morning scrabbler:)

5:34 am

Morning all Naughty Hunting cat - but living up to his name by the sound of it Jacs.

5:34 am

Well, I've had a neighbour's cat jump on me and my daughter whilst we were actually eating our bacon sandwiches & nick some bacon. Another cat, I caught in the act of trying to drag a whole defrosting chicken off the work surface.

5:34 am

Good morning FMitch!

5:35 am

good morning FMitch:)

5:35 am

don't you guys have screens on your windows?

Good morning FMitch, Scrabbler and anyone else I've missed.

No, Eva - few bugs to keep out.

5:35 am

Eva - Nope.

5:35 am

wow-what a concept. If we didnt have screens we'd be carried off

5:36 am

ROFLOL about stories of cat thieves and the idea of cats delivering pizza

5:36 am

Hi FMitch

5:36 am

I was envisioning jacula as a sort of feline Fagin, sending her furry minions out to bring back the loot

5:36 am

Morning Haz and everyone

5:37 am

LOL Eva

5:37 am

lol eva

5:37 am

G'd morning all! Is today's grid going to give me self esteem issues?

5:37 am

good morning LoriP:)

5:38 am

hi lori - shouldn't think so. :-)

5:38 am

Good morning LoriP. Maybe, maybe not. How's that for decision?

5:38 am

My morning newspaper (tossed at the end of my driveway) is often missing, and I suspect neighbor's dogs steal it for their owners.

5:38 am

It's a good mix of normal and the weird and wonderful today LoriP

5:38 am

Haz, for breakfast, did you have waffles....... :)

5:39 am

Lori, we will help keep your BSE (Babble self-esteem) in the high range. Just ask for clues!

5:39 am

No, I have the same breakfast every morning to save me having to decide on anything else!

5:39 am

LOL Scrabbler, that's good to know.

5:40 am

feline Fagin? That's nice. Harumph! I go off to make a pot of tea and I am maligned! LOL.

5:40 am

The self-esteem issues will be for those trying to give clues to weird words.

5:41 am

Is everyone ready for their Thanksgiving feast? I still have a few items to buy, but the big bird is defrosting in the refrigerator (so the neighbor's cats cannot get to it)

5:42 am

we don't have thanksgiving over here

5:42 am

We don't do Thanksgiving here in UK, Scrabbler. 23rd not a good day for me anyway; 3rd anniversary of my Dad's death.:(

5:42 am

almost ready - making the pumpkin pies, cranberry chutney, and cinnamon rolls today

5:42 am

my kids are all coming home - very ready

5:43 am

I know, but you're missing out on a day of gluttony and fun. (Sorry, Jacula :<(

5:43 am

One Thanksgiving heard a thump in the kitchen, as I was sitting with guests, went in and found the 26 pound turkey on the floor with the cat perched on top.....didn't say anything to anyone, but carved the bird before it got to the table to disguise the claw marks

5:43 am

I'd love to see a cat try to steal a frozen turkey!

5:43 am

picking up my turkey at the local farm tomorrow

5:43 am

LOL eva - what else could you do?

5:43 am

LOL Eva!!!

5:43 am

Eva - LOL. I'd have done the same.

5:43 am

Classic Eva was that Merp?

5:43 am

i'll be feasting on tagine...no t-day here either.

5:44 am

Ahh yes, almost Thanksgiving to the south. Eva, you made the only choice possible in that aituation. :)

5:44 am

blood what is tagine?

5:44 am

no-one of Merps' predecessors-Atticus. Glad to see that my ethics are upheld

5:44 am

One Christmas, my Mum and my auntie got drunk whilst cooking dinner & they dropped the turkey on the floor. They served it up and said nothing until afterwards.:)

5:44 am

i'll show you! give me a sec.

5:44 am

love tagine!

5:45 am

tagine is great

5:47 am

non cat people can be a bit squeamish about things like a little fur or cat drool on their food. I just don't think abouit where those paws have been

5:47 am

Or where their tongue has been.

5:47 am

well yes, that too(-:

5:48 am

Yuk, Scrabbler. Well, Hunting Cat has a foot fetish - not only 'humps' my shoes but licks my feet. Makes Paul go green (and not with envy).

5:48 am

I was never that keen on turkey anyway :)

5:49 am

lol FM

5:49 am

I don't like turkey either

5:49 am

...Which is why, when he licked the topping on a lime cheesecake & a chocolate cake, I binned them!:(

5:49 am

did it work?

5:49 am

Merp has a habbit of toe nibbling Jac-can be a bit shocking to guests, especially ones who unconsciously wiggle their toes

5:49 am

ROFL @Merp

5:50 am

yep - your icon changed blood - good pic!

5:50 am

yes blood I see it, what is it though lol

5:50 am

Blood - Yes. It looks tasty. You've made me hungry now.

5:50 am

My bunnies are lickers too. Sebastian, the one I sleep with, sometimes licks me in my sleep and then I dream that it must be Russell Crowe or George Clooney licking me.

5:50 am

lol scrabbler

5:50 am

Scrabbler - I'm not sure whether to laugh or cry.

5:50 am

sorry jac. that was one of my favorite tagines. i also love the kefta, which is like a meatball tagine with a red sauce.

5:51 am

well george clooney does have that twitchy nose and big floppy ears...

5:51 am

bonkler - LOL.

5:52 am

kt, tagine is a generic name for the type of dish. it's cooked in the clay pot on an open fire of hot coals. there are several different types of tagine, several variationsof chicken, beef, and lamb.

5:52 am

Well, go ahead and cry for me Jac, because those men will never be licking me except in my mind.

5:52 am

oh ok blood, doesn't sound like my kind of food really

5:52 am

Aw, Scrabbler.((xx))

5:53 am

are you vegetarian kt?

5:53 am

yeah

5:53 am

srabbler, if they're licking in your mind, at leaast it will keep your brain nice and moist

5:54 am

yea, you wouldn't like tagine...hahaha

5:54 am

bonkler - ROFLOL.

5:54 am

That's OK, Jac. I accept that my fantasies are not at all based on reality. (LOL, bonkler)

5:55 am

i wonder if they make one without meat? it usually comes with olives. i had one that had a wonderful pyramid of potatoes with the meat underneath the mound.

5:55 am

Scrabbler - I've found a couple of nice bunny words in the grid (ho4/6 & lo4/5).

5:56 am

TY for those clues, Jacula.

5:56 am

Blood - Yes. Vegetarian tagine recipes abound.

5:57 am

good to know jac...so you can come visit kt and feast on tagine!

5:57 am

what's in them jac?

5:57 am

kth - root vegs & lots of spices.

5:58 am

Yesterday eyore was a phantom but today his more famous friend is in the grid and valid.

5:58 am

TY FMitch

5:58 am

5:59 am

Oh, so he is, FMitch. Thanks!

5:59 am

ye, and he plurals too

5:59 am

kth - Google 'vegetarian tagine'.

In a slow cooker, toss together the parsnips, turnips, onions, carrots, apricots, and prunes. Season with turmeric, cumin, ginger, cinnamon, cayenne pepper, parsley, and cilantro. Pour in the vegetable broth. 2. Cover, and cook 9 hours on Low.

6:00 am

6:00 am

6:00 am

Looks yummy, Jacula.

6:01 am

6:01 am

6:01 am

6:02 am

*I meant, Scrabbler.

ga5/16 is a variant of a horse gait, 6/27 is the boot word

6:22 am

ho4/8 horses foot

6:22 am

ga5 & 6 are a horse gait (diff. spelling)

6:36 am

kth - yes.

6:37 am

LOL, Bunny...I'm a lurker...sometimes

It OK, I'm one up on you. I'll get bored in the middle of the day and just pop in and read the log... all of it. I really need to make some friends !

6:55 am

Angel are you working on Laurens christmas gift?

6:56 am

yes, Faerie. The photos turned out great. I had them copied.

6:57 am

6:57 am

cost so far is about 5 dollars!

Can I ask what you are making?

6:58 am

excellent

6:58 am

but the memories are priceless.

6:59 am

Bunny, I'm making a cookbook for my daughter, with my grandmother's recipes in it, plus photos of my grandparents, myself, my daughter when she was 5 and her son when he was an infant.

6:59 am

yep you can't put a price on pics

6:59 am

angel what a wonderful gift

That's sweet.

7:00 am

It's that the nicest gift idea :)

7:00 am

it's a lot of fun, and pretty easy to do. I'm putting it into a looseleaf notebook format, so she can add to it herself.

Last year I helped my grandma clean out her closets and all her clutter to re-organize. I found 103 rolls of 110 film, so I had them all developed for her Christmas gift. I wasn't as crafty as you are though, but it was great sitting around looking thru them.

7:02 am

Angel, I did that for my son when he went to college. He's married now and still uses it.

7:03 am

awwww BV that had to be soooo cool

Can't believe how I used to wear my hair in some of those pics :(

I've been up over three hours, giving in to temptation, going outside to smoke. Brb

7:05 am

Ok Bunny good for you :)

7:05 am

I need to stop smoking myself

7:06 am

How how often do you smole yourself?

7:08 am

7:08 am

Can someone clue sp6?

7:09 am

7:09 am

Thanks KT...I was working on the other s and p

I feel better...

7:10 am

(((Faerie))) fine but cold as my heating is not working at the moment.

7:11 am

oh no fm, you must be freezing

Oh no FMitch, bundle up, don't get sick! Are you getting it repaired today?

7:11 am

Oh No you better get that working lady and bundle up real good

7:11 am

sp + waterproof overshoes: ga****es

7:12 am

I've gone for the layered look, including leg warmers and fingerless gloves :)

7:12 am

No not being repaired today BV, waiting for a couple of cheques to clear in the bank and then can get the repair man in

7:12 am

go to Claire's Accessories, FM, you can buy armwarmers there!

7:13 am

and do you have repair person on the way?

7:13 am

fmitch we have no heating in our house, we picked up one of those little fan heaters for aout £10 and it does a great job of warming a room

7:14 am

FMitch....sounds like a good day to go to a movie or shopping at the mall

7:14 am

LOL Ata I have a small fan heater in my office kth so I use that to boost the temp from time to time.

7:14 am

and go get a spaniel. they are little radiators!

I want to get a pet rabbit for indoors, my husband says no, so I'm gonna pick one up while he is at work...

7:16 am

go for it bunny

7:16 am

How will he react BV?

He'll get over it, like I got over the $800.00 stereo system he picked up after work a week or two back lol.

7:17 am

LOL BV good one

7:18 am

oh ho, this could be fun!

7:18 am

oh bunny, get two to spite him :D

7:18 am

preferabky a male and a female

Lol, how bout a whole herd?

7:19 am

Buy and make and a female and you will have that very quickly.

Think I can pick em up at the market for $5 a piece, how many can I get for $800.00?!

7:19 am

yes you absolutely need a male and a female

7:19 am

lmao that's a lot of bunnys

7:19 am

160 BV

7:21 am

80 of each

This could get fun.

7:21 am

for maximum effect you should probably get about 120 females and 40 males ...

soon you could have 800 bunnies

7:22 am

yes Ata your are correct you don't need nearly as many males

Teach him to buy a stereo without consulting me first!

7:23 am

Thats right BV he think twice the next time won't he

7:23 am

What was his reason/excuse for buying it?

I let him take the Best Buy card to replace my camera cord, he said the stereo was on sale, it was a great deal.

He forgot the cord for the camera.

whoops!

7:25 am

typical male lol

It really was a good deal, but I didn't say that.

Thanks for making me laugh this morning that sounds exactly like something my husband would do. rofl

7:26 am

your a good woman BV LOL

7:27 am

my husband wouldn't buy anything but food without asking me first

Oh, here's another. We just bought this house with the intentions to add on right. I framed out a cat house (big one) and then threw out my back, so he finished it. Looks like two four year olds put it together, horrible!! Can't imagine what the add ons will look like!!

7:28 am

I guess one of the perks of being single is that I don't have to ask anyone before make any type of purchase

7:29 am

I only answer to myself *now did you really need that* rofl

7:30 am

lol faerie

He's not prone to impulse buys, he's actually pretty frugal. It was just the amount of the purchase that got to me, but he countered with, " You put a microwave and vaccum on the card!". So...

7:32 am

I can buy as many shoes as I want and now and no one can say "so 150 pair isn't enough huh"

i've been in Morocco for about 3 months now, and i've never been so sure that the midwest is where i belong.

9:20 am

ditto babe

9:20 am

and i dont' know where the nearest starbucks is.

9:21 am

magzel it looks like the word for assist or aid spelt wrongly, use the tile points

9:21 am

Restaraunts and stores are at least 20 minutes one way to get to.....I would say the midwest is great because people have a level headed perspective out there.

9:21 am

if i look out the window i can see our starbucks :P

9:22 am

Morocco must be beautiful though...

9:22 am

bgmadden, where on the east coast, I am guessing Maine

9:22 am

9:22 am

rightmy nans not here so im off see you guys x

9:23 am

No more on the Virginia side... I lived nest to klaurel of all things.

9:23 am

How long are you there for Blood?

9:24 am

by e-bunny

9:25 am

I'll be here until May, when I graduate from school I'll go home for a while, then try to get a job teaching english in North Africa...hopefully Morocco, but I'll also look n Egypt.

9:43 am

LOL klaurel one extreme to the other there, just shows how diverse clues can be!

9:45 am

tee-hee

9:47 am

He who learns must suffer. And even in our sleep pain that cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart, and in our despair, against our own will, comes wisdom to us by the awful grace of God.

9:47 am

9:47 am

10:53 am

i miss both those ones eva said

10:54 am

ANother e is French for boredom - en5 - as written about by Baudelaire.

12:02 pm

I am missing an fo

12:02 pm

It's a much simpler version but it was the fore runner. Theer are also sections for recepies and stories and loads of other things.

12:04 pm

12:08 pm

Help, I can't get started on the fa's

12:08 pm

should be fo 4/7

12:10 pm

fa 4/9 --- the stars and strips is the fa 4/9 of the USA

12:10 pm

12:11 pm

Jane, the fo is a plural

FL- dental hygine

One fo = what you do to your teeth with a string while cleaning, but take out the stick.

12:14 pm

gestapo is for the fo 4/7

5:20 pm

scatty, do you do artist trading cards?

5:20 pm

what are artist trading cards, April?

5:21 pm

(giving myself ten more minutes and then I WILL go sort through that box...)

5:21 pm

stid, they are original works of art done on cards the size of basebal cards, about, and you usually do more than one, like a series, to trade other artists, and collect art that way. there are 'rules'

5:22 pm

that sounds neat! (thinking about what I would do for something like that)

5:22 pm

fireworks at last!

5:22 pm

YAY Duval!

5:22 pm

5:23 pm

perhaps we could do a set between us Stid?!!

5:23 pm

stid, you use paper, objects, paint, pens, whatever. But it has to fit in that size. Lots of people use cut outs from magazines. People collect paper just for it.

5:23 pm

the fact is beauty and sexuality can be seen anywhere, whether or not you want to lay with someone.

7:16 pm

and trollop would be applicable....

anyone watching american music awards?

7:16 pm

(i love that word)

7:16 pm

i've no problem ascribing the word beautiful to women.

7:17 pm

at least you didn't call her a skank

ag - open mouthed

9:30 pm

Lori your clues are fine.

9:31 pm

I overthink it. Better keep on lurking. :)

9:31 pm

we start in july. 9 wks on, 3 wks fall break, 9wks 2 wks winter break, 9wks, 3 wks spring break 9 weeks 5 summer break

9:32 pm

lori you are doing fine

9:33 pm

Gotta keep practicing giving clues. it's good to get others clues too.

9:34 pm

Interesting LuwandaHL. I have friends/relatives in Md Va, Penn, Ind. i wasn't aware of such a system.

9:34 pm

Thanks for the encouragement. it's not a ploy, just a desire to spread out a bit.

9:35 pm

sh 6/21and the 5/12 after it?

9:35 pm

I like that all year round system. I know a lot of kids who would benefit from it. I think some European schools are run that way.

9:35 pm

I first heard of in in Aurora CO. My school system has offered it for 10 years

9:36 pm

we also offer traditional schedule. we are a large suburb system so we can offer both in elementary and middle school

9:36 pm

what you might say to a pesky critter to move then add the hockey stick letter

9:37 pm

I chose this schedule because I think it is extremely good for education - both students and teachers

9:37 pm

i think a lot of kids would benefit from shorter sessions of learning all year round, verses trying to cram info into their heads in 180 straight days

9:38 pm

we also offer 2 week remediation during fall and spring break for half of the day

9:38 pm

I agree, in a general way. This is a much debated topic within my immediate family circle.

9:39 pm

the kids still get the afternoons off and a week break at the end

9:39 pm

My youngest started school this year, my eldest started Uni, I've seen the educational spectrum from bth sides, as a parent, and through educators eyes.

9:40 pm

i wonder how much better the kids retain information? from the scores i see at the cc, it's rather scary. so many can't read or write and we wont talk about numbers!

9:40 pm

*both

9:40 pm

I have worked both schedules and I find that the students seeem to retain better

9:40 pm

hi all. back fora few: daisy if you are there, my IM client died...

9:40 pm

we talk work with data constantly

9:40 pm

Forgive the naiveté but the US relies on SAT's doesn't it?

9:41 pm

harp, holler if you need help.

9:41 pm

i know between quarters and semesters, quarters seem to work better for students. so i can imagine it would work well with kidlets

9:41 pm

without talk

9:41 pm

SATs are still used in the US, but they're becoming less important.

9:41 pm

ETS scores are highly inflated.

9:41 pm

no Lori, different colleges use different measures for admissions. Some use ACT instead, and all take grades and outside activities into account as well

9:42 pm

hello professor! ready for the kid yet? just informed him he is ON HIS OWN when it comes to all school work. We'll see if he does better or worse...

9:42 pm

The SAT people didn't like the falling scores, so they started curving the grades. The result: colleges use the SAT less.

9:42 pm

an7/36??

9:42 pm

I have the bumper sticker taped to the side of my car, btw...

9:43 pm

an 7is german plural for the an 6 -- add a consonant

9:43 pm

I was pressured to have #1 take SAT's for admittance to Uni of choice. We declined, and she was accepted au natural.

9:43 pm

Hi Stid! Wow! We're definitely out there on a limb. And I think an adolescent has the saw....

10:04 pm

does anyone who understands alcohol know what the difference is between whiskey, bourbon and scotch? or are the generally the same item?

10:04 pm

k

10:04 pm

does anyone have any suggestions in that regard

10:04 pm

brb

10:04 pm

later Jill :-)

10:04 pm

they all come from different grains, stid

10:05 pm

bourbon and scotch are types of whiskey i believe

10:05 pm

yes

10:05 pm

but scotch is better ;-)

10:05 pm

whether you like bourbon or scotch depends on your taste

10:05 pm

scotch tastes like Ivory Soap, gaa

10:05 pm

LOL All I know is they're hard liquor and they are way different from rum.

10:06 pm

hey renfield did you finish the grid

10:06 pm

Good morning, all. What is the difference between Scotch, Irish, Rye and Bourbon Whiskies? Scotch Whisky is whisky which has been distilled and matured in Scotland. Irish Whiskey means whiskey distilled and matured in Ireland. Whisky is distilled in Scotland from malted barley in Pot Stills and from malted and unmalted barley or other cereals in Patent Stills. The well-known brands of Scotch Whisky are blends of a number of Pot Still and Patent Still whiskies. Irish Whiskey distillers tend to favour three distillations rather than two, as is general in Scotland in the case of Pot Still whiskies, and the range of cereals used is wider. As regards Bourbon Whiskey, the United States Regulations provide: (i) that Bourbon Whiskey must be produced from a mash of not less than 51% corn grain; (ii) that the word ‘Bourbon’ shall not be used to describe any whiskey or whiskey-based distilled spirits not produced in the United States. Rye Whiskey is produced both in the United States and Canada but the name has no geographical significance. In the United States, Rye Whiskey by definition must be produced from a grain mash of which not less than 51% is rye grain. In Canada, there is no similar restriction. The relevant Canadian Regulation states: ‘Canadian Whisky (Canadian Rye Whisky, Rye Whisky) shall be whisky distilled in Canada, and shall possess the aroma, taste and character generally attributed to Canadian Whisky.’ Canadian Whisky is in fact often referred to simply as Rye Whisky or Rye.

10:06 pm

hi jac!

10:07 pm

i was just going to find something like that to post

10:07 pm

Does that answer the question? LOL.

10:07 pm

thanks Jacula! :-)

10:07 pm

Hi Fran.

10:07 pm

what about sour mash?

10:07 pm

rum is distilled from cane syrup.

10:07 pm

10:07 pm

10:08 pm

10:08 pm

yahoooooooooooooooooooren

10:08 pm

YAY ren!

10:08 pm

oh wait, that wasn't enthusiastic enough.

10:08 pm

What are spirits? The term spirits describes the product of distillation, whatever the raw materials, or whether it be in a pure state or contaminated by impurities normally present in any distillate. Generally, the word refers to any volatile inflammable liquid obtained by distillation. Spirits for human consumption, or potable spirits, are the distillates of alcoholic liquids, the alcohol in which has been formed by the fermentation of sugar as contained in grapejuice, sugar cane, etc., or in saccharified materials such as specially prepared cereals, e.g. malted barley.

10:08 pm

ethanol is a corn grain...your auto drinks it

10:10 pm

10:10 pm

LOL, stid. I did think about signing is as 'Can't Sleep!' but I didn't want to deceive you all.

10:10 pm

Poteen - lethal Irish hooch (made from potatoes).

10:11 pm

we are going to watch "Rocky and Bullwinkle" now, so if I am distracted, you'll know why

10:11 pm

I said I was leaving for a bit but I guess I lied

10:11 pm

Jilli - the answers came courtesy of The Scotch Whisky Association.

10:11 pm

jac, we may have figured out it was you after a few minutes anyway.

10:11 pm

watch out for the WayBack machine stid

10:12 pm

Jill -- go grab a sand wich or something and then come chat some more. or a hand full of almonds with chocolate sauce and icecream!

10:12 pm

excellent, jac -- what source of useful information is Babbleania

10:12 pm

Fran - I think you would have done. Most people have their own distinct writing style.

10:12 pm

handful of tamari almonds -- ok...brb

10:12 pm

10:17 pm

10:17 pm

chj - Why not?

10:17 pm

who knows

10:18 pm

you wake up one day and you havent had softboiled eggs for 40 years

10:18 pm

If you can get hold of real free-range eggs they are gorgeous. None of that battery stuff though.

10:18 pm

LOL, chj.

10:18 pm

10:20 pm

oooo 35 to go!

10:20 pm

i heard who knows where the time goes on the radio today

10:20 pm

perhaps it goes into outer space

10:20 pm

Incidentally, speaking of eggs, I read today that there's now and EU (European Union aka Interference In UK Affairs from Brussels) that all eggs, free-range or otherwise, have to be stamped with the date & time laid & the identity of the hen who laid it. If that's not ridiculous, I don't know what is!

10:20 pm

I'm listening to Akon right now!

10:20 pm

go go reese;s

10:20 pm

or into the black hole in the center of the milky way

10:21 pm

typical bureaucracy, Jac!

10:21 pm

10:21 pm

I don't know if I ever had soft-boiled eggs... but I found a couple pretty egg cups...

10:21 pm

10:23 pm

j/k

10:23 pm

i didn;t mean to eat a biggie milkyway...i didn;t mean to eat any chocolate at all...it was in my hand and gone before i could cry out for help

10:23 pm

Where does time go? A question that becomes more urgent, the older you get.:( Come to think of it, where does time come from? And who's to say what time is anyway?

10:23 pm

Big questions of life! LOL.

10:23 pm

yep!

10:23 pm

i blame the evildoer that put it in your hand ren

10:23 pm

10:24 pm

ren - *pats ren's head*, never mind dear. We understand.

10:24 pm

back again with tamari almonds, tonic instead of vodka, and joy that I have fresh free-range eggs in my fridge, courtesy of a lady I work with at the library who has several free-range (including her kitchen) chickens named Vanessa because she can't tell them apart, although there's one called Buttercup for some reason

10:24 pm

you shoulda hit the snooze alarm ren

10:24 pm

LOL Jill!

10:25 pm

Ah! Peabody's Improbable History.... *sits up and watches intently*

10:25 pm

i have to admit, i rode my bike to the store and got my co-hort in crime at the office a snickers...and right next to it was the milky way...i blame my nike

10:25 pm

jilli - I hope the eggs were stamped with the identity of the layer and the time and date! LOL. (See my earlier post re EU directive.)

10:25 pm

oh what times are these when a woman cant walk the streets without fear of having a milkyway put in her hand

10:25 pm

cool. It's the Marco Polo episode...

10:26 pm

chj - LOL.

10:26 pm

it's like playing tag with candy bars!

10:26 pm

I thought it was a 'fun-sized Mars bar' that women were in danger from.

10:27 pm

and the lady behind the counter said....the biggies are 2 for a $1.00.......it was an easy sale

10:27 pm

how do I tell how well i'm doing?

10:27 pm

Don't know if you had those bars in USA, but the males here in UK certainly got lots of innuendo out of the advertising for them.

10:27 pm

hey everyone!

10:27 pm

sure the old bait and reel em in technique

10:27 pm

Hi Hell!

10:27 pm

soft-boiled (4-minute if they're big like Vanessa's) eggs and "soldiers" or "dipper-inners" -- lovely. Those soldiers are pieces of hot buttered toast cut into strips so that youcan dip them into the decapitated eggs in an egg-cup.

10:28 pm

we have Mars bars, but not sure about the innuedo bit...

10:28 pm

i was baited......for real....

10:28 pm

10:29 pm

reese -- boredom

10:29 pm

10:34 pm

*Now seeing weird image of stidmama with her eyes on very long stalks 10 mins away from her.*

10:34 pm

Hell - No. Partner away working. Bed cold & lonely.

10:35 pm

10:35 pm

*it's all that space chocolate we were eating earlier, Jacula, must have been something to do with all the cosmic rays....*

10:35 pm

That'll be it, stid.

10:36 pm

does gary have a pretty smile?

10:36 pm

Oh, ren, don't talk about Spongebob or I'll start thinking about that episode where he had his head shaved down to his brain for a Hallowe'en prank.

10:36 pm

you'll never be lonely in babbleania

10:36 pm

yuk. icky imagery, Jac

10:37 pm

10:37 pm

so he would the right shaped ghost

10:37 pm

jilli - I know, that's why I came here.

10:37 pm

sounds like the song from the mr rogers "opera" about bubbleland, "no, there's never never never any trouble here in Bubbleland!"

10:38 pm

ren - Yes. Please don't remind me.:(

10:38 pm

fireworks!

10:41 pm

triathlete: an 6 and 7: "The initial clustering of embryonic cells from which a part or an organ develops; primordium"

10:41 pm

Incidentally, Hunting Cat came home to bed tonight with no 'prizes'. As you may recall, if you were here at the time, he brought home a raw chicken breast last night, having obviously sneaked in through a window and nicked someone's defrosting dinner.:(

10:41 pm

loaded question, haha

10:41 pm

saffta, that's pretty good. is it your first time playing?

10:41 pm

saffta - There are 138 words to find.

10:41 pm

yes it is my first time, do we compete?

10:41 pm

jacula - that's too funny - the originial cat burglar!

10:42 pm

I am at the end of the long rope. Can anyone help with my last two words? bu 5/16 and bu4/7? My monkey died.

10:42 pm

only if we want to, saffta! there are two resources most new folk appreciate: Angelsong's Resource Page and Lickety's Babble Clues, both have links at the bottom of this page.

10:43 pm

bu 5/16 is plural

10:43 pm

bu 4/7 is the roll with a double last letter

10:43 pm

Scarlet - bu 4/7 & plural bu5/16 - Little rabbits?

10:43 pm

*plays sad music for Scarlet's monkey*

10:43 pm

stid - I can hear that violin!

10:44 pm

I'm a refugee from tangleword does anyone play that?

10:44 pm

Jacula, you really should have gotten more sleep! LOL

10:44 pm

LOL, stid. Viviv imagination, as I said.

10:44 pm

*vivid

10:44 pm

saffia - i play tangleword!

10:44 pm

I don't know that one, saffta...

10:44 pm

saffta - I do play tangleword sometimes.

hi, all!

10:44 pm

Stid, thanks for the simian dirge. Jac and stid, you saved my sorry tush once again. Love you guys! Fireworks!!

stid - you moved! ;)

10:45 pm

hiya tea!

hi, hk

10:45 pm

what and where is tangleword!?

10:45 pm

fo4/7??

10:45 pm

what does it mean when it says next to g 4/7?

10:45 pm

I was trying to play WebBoggle just before I came in here but, as usual, the site was playing up. No wonder someone was signed in there under the name 'FIXTHEDAMNSERVER!'

10:45 pm

iwin.com is where tangleword is

10:45 pm

hi Tea! did I see something about tax preparation?

10:45 pm

it's boggle on line

10:45 pm

yayayayay scarlet!!!!!

10:46 pm

o ok!

10:46 pm

saffta, it means there is a word starting with G that has 4 letters and is worth 7 pts

10:46 pm

YAY Scarlet!

you did! I am joining the work force again! I used to do taxes before kids and am taking the test to do them again next week, and then we're off!

10:46 pm

fo4/7 - like the dental string without the 2nd letter.

10:46 pm

thank you stidmama

10:46 pm

yw saffta, ask any time you have questions.

10:47 pm

thanks jacula!

10:47 pm

does iwin.com cost anything?

10:47 pm

Tea, I once considered doing that for extra money, but my last accounting courses were nearly 20 years ago now, and I am sure the laws have changed a lot since then.

10:47 pm

saffta - If you go to the 'Help' section just above the chatlog, it will help you.

10:47 pm

y/w,pupsmom.

10:48 pm

'Nite all. Stid and Jacula, you two are among the great helpers in the history of my mind! Thanks, again.

H & R Block is a great way to go - the first class is $200, but after that, they are cheap and you learn a lot!

10:48 pm

ok, here are my eggcups

10:48 pm

no reeese = it's totally free & a lot of fun

10:48 pm

good night Scarlet, sweet dreams! :-)

10:48 pm

'Night, Scarlet. See you again.

10:48 pm

o ok ty!

10:48 pm

very pretty, Jill!

nite, scarlet!

10:49 pm

So long, TeaN et al.

10:49 pm

Not just pretty, stid -- read...

10:49 pm

jilli - very clever eggcups, keeping the 2nd one warm and also catching the drips.

10:49 pm

well it's certainly something to consider... I don't really want long-term employment out side the home, just a way to get a little ahead.

10:50 pm

i don;t want employment inside the home

10:50 pm

Oh heck! I must be getting tired again... I read stid's post as 'don't really want long-term enjoyment outside the home'.:(

10:50 pm

oh! so you put another egg in the under side... very smart!

10:51 pm

LOL Reese! _and_ Jac!

10:51 pm

oh, jac -- your eggs and soldiers are making me drool

10:51 pm

10 to go - going to finish sudoku now, brb

10:51 pm

jac please make me a nice softboiled egg for breakfast

it is a great opportunity for part time seasonal employment and it really doesn't interfere with school schedules.

10:51 pm

oh -- it was ren. my eyeballs are getting even tireder.

10:51 pm

later helen!

10:52 pm

I'll look into it...

10:52 pm

and stid -- your eggcups are just beautiful!!!! (But Vanessa's eggs might be too big)

10:52 pm

it was me

10:52 pm

chj - I could, but it might be a bit rubbery by the time you get it in the post. I could try e-mailing it, but it might gum my computer up.

10:53 pm

i admit it - my hand does not fit a swiffer nor a toilet brush, and i don;t know nothing about loading a dishwasher

10:53 pm

I don't actually have any eggcups, but all this talk of soft-boiled eggs makes me think maybe it would be fun.

10:54 pm

ren - a proper pirate would have said, 'T'was I!' Aar, Jim lad.;)

10:54 pm

i love to load the dishwasher

10:54 pm

well didn't finish, but night everyone! leaving for oregon tomorrow, so i might be back! see ya"ll

10:54 pm

chj -- do you like emptying the dishwasher?

10:54 pm

I didn't say I did housework, ren.... at least no more than I must to stay healthy! LOL no, I pretend to be a gardener and artist.

10:54 pm

but im one of those compulsive nuts who has to clean the plate before it goes into the dishwasher

10:54 pm

Loading a dishwasher is easy, ren. In this house, I just pile everything up beside him when he's near the sink.

10:54 pm

good night Reese, enjoy Oregon!

10:54 pm

i do like to empty too

10:54 pm

oh gosh...i'm an improper pirate who works outside the home...i've been branded

10:55 pm

especially when the plates are still hot

10:55 pm

hahhahah mistress...my kind of dishwasher

10:55 pm

night Reese's!

10:55 pm

Do not own, nor want ot own (unless I start catering on a grand scale) a dishwashing machine.

10:55 pm

guess it depends on who's washing the dishes...

10:56 pm

chj, warm plates or warm towels, clean and dry is nice!

10:56 pm

sorry stid.....i have a green thumb...(i think it's from the jello) and i like to watch the yard dude work in the yard...

10:56 pm

jilli - Well, you wouldn't have wanted my great grandmother or one of my aunts as your dishwasher - both were notorious for bashing stuff against taps and smashing itl

10:56 pm

im also a compulsive cleaner when i cook

10:57 pm

need last word ca4,5

10:57 pm

please

10:57 pm

ca 4/5: like what angels wear on their heads... ha**

10:57 pm

i hate to have a lot of messy pots and pans after i finish cooking

10:57 pm

Hence, not many Vicotrian & Edwardian pieces survived intact from my Great Granma's belongings after she died in her 90s. God Bless Her.

10:57 pm

not that i cook a lot mind you

10:58 pm

ty! fireworks

10:58 pm

curbside works fine by me

10:58 pm

yayayyya busyrae!!!!!

10:58 pm

me too, chj, which makes me a sloow cooker...

10:58 pm

may I please have a clue for the I inthe upper right corner?

10:58 pm

hahah jilli! under pressure?

10:59 pm

I am the same, chj -- usually wash in between cooking steps. Tom prefers to stack things up in a BIG pile and then let it sit until midnight...

10:59 pm

YAY Busy!

10:59 pm

my dear old 87 year old mother is going over to my sister's house tomorrow to make the stuffing for the turkey

10:59 pm

hotel ztink

10:59 pm

chj - Then stick to what my Domestic Science (Scottish) teacher always told us in her Miss Jean Brodie voice, 'Wash up as you go along, gels!' I've been to quite a few school reunions now and everyone I've spoken to still hears her advice ringing in their ears, and obeys, as they cook. Me included.

10:59 pm

or, ztink, opposite of ouTTs... LOL

11:00 pm

thanks Renfield.

11:00 pm

zTink -- places where you stay overnight, like Holiday In***

11:00 pm

hey any thanksgiving orphans out there are welcome to come over for some turkey dinner

11:00 pm

11:00 pm

*Now singing Queen's 'Under Pressure'*

11:00 pm

i'm gonna work on my artist trading cards - cause i'm one of those orfinks

11:01 pm

queen/david bowie

11:01 pm

11:01 pm

11:01 pm

orfink for a day

11:01 pm

11:01 pm

11:02 pm

11:02 pm

oh ren, you are SUCH a domestic GODDESS! LOL

11:02 pm

11:02 pm

i'm sending you my info stid

11:02 pm

hahahahah stid!!!!

11:02 pm

:-) I'll look for it, ren!

11:03 pm

yes please, Jill -- I love home-growed eggs!

11:03 pm

We don't celebrate Thanksgiving here in UK. We do have a Harvest Festival September/October when the Harvest Moon occurs. No feasting though.

11:04 pm

okay - back for these last 10

11:04 pm

well, Jacula, you can be an honorary member of our family, and eat all the Turkey and stuffing and pie and fancy salads and rolls and ... then you can wake up the next two weeks to leftovers...

11:04 pm

wow helen, you are speedy!

11:04 pm

Right, Hell. *sits to attention* If you need a clue, just yell.

11:04 pm

stid - it was an easy one - took me too long as it was, 10 minutes!

11:05 pm

all this food talk is making me really hungry for a proper supper, and chj isn't responding to my offer so I'm gone for a bit -- bfn

11:05 pm

no thanksgiving? i think that's my all time favorite meal - well, among alot of other things, but turkey stuffing, cranberries yum

11:05 pm

stid - That is very kind of you but I think I'll save myself for Christmas. Can't afford not to be at my best to brave the heaving hordes whilst Christmas shopping.

11:06 pm

sorry jilli yes plaease bring some of vanessa's eggs

11:06 pm

Every year, the little market town I shop in weekly is invaded by crowds of strangers who block everything up.

11:07 pm

Where do they shop the rest of the year? Why do they invade us a month before Christmas? Another of life's mysteries!

11:08 pm

ge6/27??

11:09 pm

pupsmon - a very brainy or clever person is a ge6/27.

11:09 pm

you dont have to be a ge**** to get the ge6

11:10 pm

okay, I am heading out for a while. may or may not be back tonight. Hope you all have a lovely evening/day!

11:10 pm

My kitty cat is in some of the words tonight :-)
