3:09 am

Oh West, my FIL and I just had this discussion, I think it's so nice here to have the stores and offices closed on Sundays and holidays. I didn't think so when I first got here, but now I really appreciate it.

3:10 am

All the stroes are closed in DK today

3:10 am

Molly, I know almost nothing about Denmark or Danish, is it so close to the German language?

I just mis read Walpurgis Night as walrus night

3:10 am

the stores are hardly ever closed here

3:11 am

well walruses need holidays too herin

I forgot 1st May big pagan holiday. start of spring in the north (SLOW much)

3:13 am

Marmar - normally not so close, but we have some words looking alike. Where in Germany do you live?

3:13 am

we were talking about it before herin I still remember putting may baskets on neighbors door knobs

I keep making bitchy and snide comments about all the wankers i went to primary and highschool with. I keep getting snickers form the b.f

3:13 am

In Germany they have a tradition called "Dance into May", all over the country, on April 30th, dances are planned and it's fun for lots of people to "dance into" the month of May, Dance past midnight....don't know the origins.

3:13 am

Westford - I know the stores are allways open i US - went there last summer

3:14 am

I'm in a village near Giessen (70 km north of Frankfurt on Main)

Marmar- I didn't know that and I only live 3 hours drive from Germany

3:14 am

HI monkey

4:08 am

I'm a bit sick monkey! Nasty cough and chest. First time in 20 years I haven't been out on queen's day

Oh dear. I hope you feel better soon!

4:09 am

Did you have fun in Haarlem moneky?

My husband just had that for a week and still has residuals. Sure is going around.

4:09 am

Thanks - I'm working on it!

Yeah, we went out to sell some of Walter's stuff he doesn't want anymore.

e ended up selling a number of things (the rest will be at the kringloopwinkel soon) and got some nice stuff for Walter and a great tie-dyed old soft t-shirt for me. Ended up only 3 Euros down for the day.

4:11 am

ah! great! and did Walter also buy lots more stuff to fill up the gaps at home?

4:11 am

yay for queen's day trade!

We got Walter some Megabloks and a great handmade set of little shelves and drawers fro his toy corner.

Clues for the ta5 and 6?

4:13 am

So Walter's all set for the coming year!

4:14 am

ta 6 and 5 - past and 3rd person tense of ta 4?

Yup, except that he keeps growing out of things. First he did those simple piece fits in hole puzzles. Then the more complicated ones. Then simple jigsaws. Now complicated jigsaws. Soon, REALLY complicated ones. It's going like that with everything.

Thanks for the clue.

4:15 am

tauted

4:15 am

oops wrong box

4:15 am

sorry

4:16 am

Jumbo do some great puzzles where you get to see a picture of someone looking at something and the jigsaw is the picture of what they're looking at! THat should last him a few years!!

I'll keep an eye out for those. Teh biggest one he can do himself right now has 30 pieces.

4:17 am

good going!

I havev a website for you

4:18 am

wassup herin?

It's a very bold picture.

4:18 am

Down to 14... my best so far

Website for me?

http://jigzoneshop.com/ here is an awesome Jigsaw puzzle website

I'll go look at it in a minute. Thank you!

4:19 am

yay molly!

Yah molly

Con not much

4:21 am

just continuing happy babbling?

yep

4:21 am

:D

What about st5's? I have the one that means a weasel, the one that means a nice dark beer, and the one that plurals the horse having a nice retirement. What am I missing?

4:24 am

that's the only 3 i've got aswell monkey

OK!

Got the sr??

nope

OK!

4:26 am

sr is anagram of plural knight's title

OK, working on that... I know what you mean but don't see teh direction yet. It'll come. Thanks!

There it is!

4:27 am

:)

4:28 am

first ou5?

4:29 am

phantom educate, educator

Wish I knew. I just have exposed the gay person.

need to go cook a bacon sarnie soon

4:30 am

yeah, I'll need some breakfast soon!!!

What's a sarnie?

sandwhich

And I should eat soon too. Walter wanted to spend a very long time out in the woods while we were walking the dog. Hungry.

Thanks, Herin! I learn more slang here...

4:31 am

Monkey one st5 think Greek and porticos

Thats ok

Monkey you should take food next time

Oh, thanks, Sini! Had the singular, completely forgot to expland.

Herin, yes we should. Usually though we just run down there and back but it's a nice day and we ended up being out there for 2 hours. Should have taken food. Walter had already eaten, but not me.

Plus we had some Diego cookies for him, but I'm dieting and can't ahve cookies.

Expland??? Sigh.

4:35 am

hello to those i missed!

Walter wanted to go peacock hunting, but he was nowhere to be found this morning.

Hi Lil!

Peacock Hunting?

There's a peacock that hangs out in the woods here sometimes, usually up in this one tree. I did warn Walter that we couldn't hear him. This is a very vocal peacock; usually if you don't hear him he's not there.

Yesterday, though, we came upon the other one in the area, hanging out on someone's low wall by the street. Walter threw him some rice crackers.

4:38 am

Hi monkey games long time no see, hows you?

We're good! Husband with flu, but who doesn't have it? I had it a couple weeks ago. Sprained toe doing OK, Walter just great. He found his first four-leaf clover today.

How are you?

i wonder were he goes

4:40 am

we are fine over here life is pretty good at the mo, i cant complain

Who, the peacock? The closer one goes into the visitor's area at the nature preserve across the road and hangs out with the chickens. The farther peacock frequents a restaurant over there, and hangs out on a farm.

4:41 am

did Walter celotape the clover to a piece of paper? we would do that ocver here when we found one, like when are on field trips

I'm pressing it in my wallet, then I decided it's the perfect excuse for Walter to start a scrap book. It'll go in there.

4:42 am

anybody have the first ou5 please?

I'm really impressed he found it. I was showing him how to look for them last year, but he's only 3 1/2. Today he was running across the dog field and just screeched to a halt, pointed down, and said, "That one has four leaves!"

Still looking for it, conX. Sorry!

4:44 am

i loved doing things like that. we would normally go to the marshes for things like that, but since the olympics is being built on the land its tricky to do anything like that now, its a shame really

my pc is being lamn

Oh MOnkey that is very cool

Oh dear, it sure is! When we had to move a year ago we lucked out and found the only rental in this area. We are surrounded by very nice free-standing houses with gardens, woods for the dog at the end of the road, a nature preserve just over thataway, and huge wild parks all over.

4:45 am

:) found it! it's a compound word

Ah! Looking...

4:46 am

where abouts in Haarlem are you Monkey?

4:46 am

hi everyone

Ramplaankwartier.

Hi Girlie.

4:46 am

hiya girlie

Hi Girlie!

4:47 am

aha! near elswout? Beautiful area!!!

4:47 am

thought I might flush my sister out of lurking with that, but it appears she is actually studying :O

So we have Elswout and the Kennemerduinen and the Visserspad and Brouwerskolk and Koningshof, all just right here.

I am having a der day

es, I can see Elswout from the bedroom window.

What's a der day?

4:47 am

how lovely is that, all that green preserved space. it must be so peaceful and relaxing. the marshes was the only free open green space we had, other than parks

4:48 am

Visserspad I don't know - is that the middenduin on the same road as Koningshof and Kraantje lek? and wow! what a fantastic view you have!!

It's really nice. Right now the bulb fields atthe end of the road are in full bloom, too.

Yes. And teh Visserspad is what the fishwives used in the old days to carry the fish from Zandvoort to Haarlem vcenter. They'd stop and wash their feet at a small inn that is now a pub, two blocks from me, called het Stinkende Emmer. For obvious reasons. Also called het Wapen van Kennemerland, but everyone calls it Stinkende Emmer. The Visserspad starts nowadays at Kraantje Lek.

4:50 am

hayfever must be a killer in spring/summer though

It's a nice walk to Zandvoort along it, or Bloemendaal aan Zee.

Myusual view is the backs of houses, but from upstairs we can see past them to Elswout, but it just looks like a wall of trees from here.

Hay fever seems to be behaving ityself so far...

4:51 am

I know the pub! I'll have to try the walk one day - when the lungs are better.

4:51 am

ooh fireworks!

4:52 am

Sounds like you've landed yourself a bit of jewel place to live Monkey!

Do! Let's make a day of it! 7 km to Zandvoort, or 11 to Bloemendaal aan Zee. Bus 81 back.

Congrats!

4:53 am

Now there's an idea..... and thanks.

Yes, we did luck out. Our landlady at the old place was actually psychiotic; broke all the windows, her husband attacked me and Walter, etc. We had to find somewhere. Even looked at Waarderpolder and teh bad side of Ijmuiden. Then this turned up. They got 400 e-mails and picked us.

4:54 am

Need help for sa 7/32 and 8/45

As for making a day of it, if you do feel like doing it without the company of a total stranger I won't be offended, so don't feel obligated to get in touch. But i;'d be fun, I think.

4:54 am

wow! that's a great story. I'm even more convinced now that we're all looked after and we all get what we need.

sa7; thinking of how to clue

First 4 letters from the cooking ones, plus abbat**** -- place they kill animals

4:55 am

Well, monkey, one doesn't have to rule out the other.... I could do it first myself and then we could have go together....

4:55 am

s + another word for car + knights title without the s

And plural.

4:56 am

then plural

That's what I mean. If you go alone, I just won't get all upset and say, "Why didn't you e-mail me?"

4:56 am

how can I get in touch, monkey, if I'd like to go with you?

k.m.cooper@chello.nl

4:58 am

OK! probably be during the holidays.... I'll email you. and we can see what happens.

Cool!

Clue for ha5?

Never mind, it's a plural of a 4.

4:59 am

ha + high scoring tile + vowel then plural

4:59 am

pl of ha 4 - sounds like a sneeze!

4:59 am

(well a sneeze in dutch anyway.....)

Thanks folks, but I just monkeyed it.

5:00 am

well, I'm off for something to eat. See you all later!

Hee, hee. Yeah, I always forget and try Dutch words, while we're on the subject. Then sometimes they work.

5:01 am

bye conxshun, have a lovely day!

5:01 am

international language is babble! bye!

Bye, ConX!

back in a sec need to make dinner

Bye Herin!

scratch that

Help with an so? I have the one that rhymes with drunken louts and the one kind of like an Indian wraparound garment but with another vowel. What's the third one look like?

no idea sorry

5:08 am

Need help for the last word!!! D word 6 letters

OK!

so + 6 pointer + vowel AND hello everyone

KRISTA. HI how is bump? I thought you would have popped now and emma is such a darling

Oh, THAT vowel! Thank you and hi!

Molly, sorry, have no d6's yet.

the Da is past past tense of the da4 above it and da5 below it

The bump is getting ready , still 26 days to go , He/She is dropping rapidly and the Braxton Hicks have started up again

wow. I thought you would have popped by now. I saw a pic of baby Emma and she is sooooooo tiny. How is you going?

She is tiny , but twice, almost 3 times the size from birth , she is gorgeous though. I'm so tired and can barely sit up straight anymore from the pressure of the baby dropping , but I haven't had my burst of energy yet , so I think I still have a couple weeks to go

ecks. Krista i can't imagine how hard that must be for you. Also i can't believe that Emma was the size of a small bag of flour.

Hang in there!

ca5 clues?

I'm hangin tight. Or tryin anyway , very Witchy lately but to be expected

You will see a Ca5 in boot camp

I don't blame you at that Krista.

Thanks, working on that...

Nope, brain dead. I'll come back to it.

Congrats! I have 9 words left.

yGO MONKEY

6:14 am

Mary had to return to the hospital last evening, when I was at her home visiting and playing with the kids. She had acute pelvic pain and vaginal bleeding---chemo caused issues.

congrats Angel!

OH Scrabbler is she going to be ok?

6:15 am

oh dear :(

6:15 am

**doing a happy dance of optimism for Hurshy**

6:15 am

will she be alright tho scrabs?

Oh dear. My thoughts are with her.

sorry about your friend Scrabbler, I know it has been very rough for her

BRB, have to check on lunch.

6:17 am

Yes, it was scary, as she is not supposed to have a period with chemo effects, so she had a sonogram and a CT, and pain meds, and is admitted for pain meds and antibiotics to treat a cervicitis. Hubby came home soon after things started. I helped with bedtime for the kids.

Oh dear I will keep her in my thoughts. Bless her and here family

6:17 am

sc, i got a rather bad cut/scrape yesterday afternoon, and though the bleeding has slowed greatly, it's not stopped. bandaid keeps it under control, but when i took a peep, it was still oozing (it was gushing at first). can i deal with this with bandaids or do i have to go to a doc, do you think?

6:18 am

Mary was crying, "I don't want to leave my kids, don't make me go." Her mom got upset. It was quite emotional. The kids were scurried off to the basement playroom. But Mary should be home in a few days.

6:19 am

Where is the injury, Hursh?

6:19 am

finger

6:19 am

( I'm no dr...but I know a doc who in a pinch ( she is young..jus graduated ) who used crazy glue to seal a bad glass cut to the bottom of a foot )

6:20 am

I use super glue on those split areas on my fingers in the winter when my skin gets dry and cracked.

6:20 am

Scrabbler, certainly makes anything else seem shllow at best, doesn't it. Considering what mary has been through, and yet faces. As always, good things from my home to hers.

6:20 am

hiya everyone

Can't you buy medical superglue?

HI monie

6:21 am

Sutures cannot be done on a wound > 8 hrs old as the wound becomes colonized with bacteria. Keep pressure on it, and ice/cold, and keep it elevated. I did that to my thumb once, when cutting a bagel in half.

6:21 am

Hi MM

Ewwwww Scrabler that is gross.

6:21 am

scrabbler, my best wishes also for friend and for you for helping her out - the medical situation is bad enough but taking care of the young children through all of that must be really hard

6:21 am

it wouldn't really be suturable anyway, i don't think. thanks.

6:22 am

Hey LoriP, how's it going?

6:22 am

the 7 and the 8 plz

6:22 am

Medical super glue is called Dermabond, at least in the US. We use it on kids a lot, for lacerations. It is a great product and the kid avoids the trauma of sutures.

6:23 am

should i try that?

I knew there was a medical glue

6:23 am

TY, JBV. It is scary when medical treatment can cause adverse effects that can endanger a patient's life as much as the cancer.

6:23 am

It is not OTC, hursh.

6:24 am

very true, and I have seen it unfortunately with my own husband - cured the cancer but left him with ongoing "issues"

6:24 am

well, if i went to a doctor, would they put it on me?

6:24 am

or is it same as sutures re: baceria?

6:24 am

Hursh, use a tight pressure bandage. My thumb bled easily for days whenever I unwrapped it.

6:24 am

the 7 and the 8 plz

6:25 am

ok, will do

6:25 am

No, Hursh, you cannot close up and "old" wound--you would trap bacteria inside and risk infection. So, keep it under pressure, clean, and watch for infection.

6:26 am

suppose i should get some antiseptic cream

6:26 am

Get some Polysporin and apply it 3 times daily.

Back again. I see we're bugging Scrabbler for medical info. OK, I'm game: should my toe I sprained 8 days ago be swelling up again? It is not purple anymore. I have not been able to be resting it.

6:27 am

Oh, dear, I have to get ready. I am going to the Tumor Board mtg at the children's hospital where Ben's case will be presented and discussed.

6:28 am

the 7 and the 8 plz

6:28 am

*good thoughts for ben*

Oh! Ignore me, then. Good lucjk and a good day to you!

6:28 am

It might swell with extended standing or use, especially by the end of the day, MG.

Thanks! Thought so, good to have someone to bounce it off though.

6:28 am

I didn't ignore you, haha. Bye now.

The 7 and 8: first 4 letters of the cooking terms, + abba**** and plural.

6:29 am

I'm being ignored though

6:29 am

bye scrabbler = have a good day

6:29 am

not ignored movieman - just don't have those 8's

I just clued, MM.

6:29 am

MM - sa7 - insert a car into the knight's title. Plural for the 8

6:29 am

Well just say so then JBV

I was having a sneaky smoke

6:30 am

haz, did you see, your favorite thing was in yesterday's grid - "nosew"

6:30 am

I saw 'sewn' and that gave me hives.

6:31 am

thanks, haz - that's a new word for me - very je ne sais quoi

Clue for du5? I have 4 words to go...

6:31 am

HUrshy i will have all my fingers and toes crossed for that job. ALso today is a great day for it on the pagan calander

6:32 am

thanks herin

6:32 am

You're welcome, JBV.

6:32 am

ty all

6:33 am

du 4 - is a twosome - plural for the 5

Have the four, don't see how to plural; probably just looking the wrong way, will look. Thanks.

6:34 am

look up in the upper right corner

6:35 am

yeah, you have to twist back around to the right

Thaks, I was using the wrong du4!

6:35 am

Ahh, halfway. In my capacity as DENSA Prez, I should be able to drag out the other half quite nicely. G'd morning to all who came in while I was actually gridding. :-)

6:39 am

***basking in the glow of a grid with no re's***

Lori we are going to get a scad of them tommorrow

6:39 am

yes, lori, but we could use a q for all those u's - for equator, etc.

6:40 am

LOL no! re's are pure evil. Yah JBV, a q might bring balance to the force..... :-)

6:40 am

8:49 am

Mmmmmmmmmmmm

8:49 am

Uni and I are gonna' skip off and have lunch out later, and then deny it to all family members!

8:49 am

8:49 am

they DO give you toast, though it doesnt say so... but its not quite the same as fried bred. :)

8:49 am

Eva... what is black and white pudding?

8:50 am

Just popped in to say goodbye to my afternoon/evening babble buddies. I've posted a message in my profile, see you all late in May :-)

8:50 am

Yerch, Vi... I hadn't realized that I violated rule number one with my wishful menu! Blast it all... and thank you for the kick-start!

8:50 am

black pudding: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ Black_pudding

8:50 am

8:56 am

(((Lori)))

8:56 am

Yes we have, FMitch... and it is so wonderful in this tiny community that we have the love and support of such strength and compassion. {{{Lor}}

8:57 am

I haven't been here that long, but FM caused me to think back at who we've gained and lost, and it's quite staggering really.

8:57 am

Oh EvaN that looks so good.

8:57 am

I know, Lor... many babies, divorces, separations, marriages and new alliances... Who needs the soaps?

8:58 am

Oh dear. The Earth May Whirl has not arrived, and I have to go sweep. *shock, horror* I'll check back later.

8:58 am

doesnt it? the irish pub serves it all day, so i might hafta skip my leftover turkey loaf (which is QUITE tasty, i might add!) and get the all-day irish breakfast for lunch!

8:58 am

SWEEP??

8:59 am

Sad, sin't it. I sweep once a year whether it needs it or not. But we are putting up guests tomorrow - and not even friends who can be expected to know what a lazy slob I really am.

8:59 am

LOLOL Vic

8:59 am

LOLOLOL, Vi

8:59 am

Finished what, kattie?

WOW. congratulations, Haz! *tossing confetti and streamers in air*

And thank you for all the happy birthday wishes. (I may be 50 Liz, but there's nothing wrong with my ears yet)

10:06 am

10:06 am

I need to see if my lucky dog has returned from his "excursion" yet... brb

10:06 am

50's okay, I've been 50 for 7 years, so I should know.

10:06 am

I hve you beat by a few years HAZ

10:07 am

I was told earlier that 50 is the new 40.

10:07 am

WHAT WAS THAT LIZ?

10:08 am

50 is the new 30 actually

10:08 am

Ask Haz, she's the one with the good hearing.

10:08 am

My dogs birthday was Sunday

10:08 am

Good ears, but the eyes aren't great anymore. They're using terrible ink in phone directories.

hello my fellow addicts 8-)

10:09 am

morning DR G

10:09 am

Hello BDG.

10:09 am

If 50's the new 30, then I must be coming up for 37, that's great.

10:10 am

Just as long as we don't have to be teenagers again. I can do without the acne and the angst.

i though red was the new black

10:10 am

I would love to be a teenager again...

10:11 am

It's not only telephone directories, Haz, have you tried reading the back of a can recently?

10:11 am

hey gwen!

10:11 am

It might be okay as long as you would know that it isn't disaster when someone doesn't see you/talk to you.

hey stid!

10:12 am

dog was on the front steps... "who me? what excursion?" yeah, right.

10:12 am

No,no,no......NO teenage wishes here.

10:12 am

I blame all the things they have to put on labels these day, liz.

10:13 am

I am just glad I'm only ten. I have decades to go before I have to worry about all the old-age things *hides crutches, anti-inflammatory meds and tweezers for pulling grey hair*

10:13 am

I'm reading back in the chat log and it seems I need to look up a few icons.....

10:14 am

Right, that explains why I used to be able to read them and can't now..phew, I thought I might need specs.

10:15 am

*pokes head into chatlog* Happy Birthday Haz!!!

Flappy Earth may be the downfall of us all.

10:54 am

Probably better that way, carlee. Haz has never appreciated my voice. *sniff*

10:55 am

Hellooooo to you all as well!

10:55 am

10:55 am

You gonna open your champers Haz, I'm about ready for a little smidge?

10:55 am

ok..u know u are distracted by life when even when u are finished the grid....u forget ur finished and start looking for words again

10:56 am

Is it a good one today carlee?

10:56 am

Is this George Clooney Day?

10:56 am

*crouches behind the chair*

10:56 am

10:56 am

This is Haz's birthday, and with Haz every day is George Clooney Day.

10:56 am

lol @ grid grouch.

10:57 am

AHHH...Happy George Clooney Day Haz!!

10:57 am

And if you wonder why, just look at Vicuna's icon. I sighed with pleasure when I saw it.

10:57 am

10:57 am

hello

10:58 am

It all suddenly makes sense doesn't it paheton, well in a babble sort of way that is.

10:58 am

Haz, takie FMitch's pic, take out the girl and put yourself in there!

10:58 am

Hello, harpjane.

10:58 am

10:58 am

George is timeless.

10:59 am

Frame it!!

10:59 am

Hello, harpjane.

10:59 am

He will fade in the sight of your beauty Miss Carland-Haz

10:59 am

Oh, don't worry, I have it captured for posterity.

11:00 am

Things are looking up. It sounds as though both bathrooms are being vacated. My bladder control may not have to be under trial for too much longer.

11:00 am

Posterity and posterior are so close in words....;-

11:00 am

Now I know how Spangle feels on Halloween night when she doesn't consider it safe to venture out.

11:01 am

I wondered why you were jigging about, I just put it down the excitement or old age?

11:01 am

Pelvic floor muscle exercises haven't been wasted!

11:01 am

It reminds me of my best friend in junior high. She took the paperback cover of a copy of Gone with the Wind, cut out Vivian Leigh, and stuck her own 13 year old school portrait, grinning out at the viewer...

11:02 am

in the arms of Clark Gable.

11:02 am

So glad she chose to be Scarlett rather than Rhett.

11:02 am

THAT would have looked odd!

11:02 am

Oh now that would be a good one to have as a theme

11:03 am

lol

11:03 am

Back shortly....

11:03 am

We know where you're going!!!

11:04 am

hey babblers - huggggggggssssssss

11:04 am

I'm off for a bit of lunch. Back later. If I don't see you again today, have a great celebration, Haz!

11:04 am

man, my appetite today has been insatiable! i had yogurt for breakfast, then all morning i was craving a full english/irish breakfast, then i had leftover turkey meatloaf + stuffing for lunch, but that wasnt enough, so i just went to get a small salad!

11:54 am

Handing Eva a bacon sandwich.......Hi all

11:55 am

hey, hiya caitlyn...surprisingly, bacon is the one thing i DONT really enjoy... i usually do ham, sausage, or canadian bacon...

11:56 am

i think the salad did it for me... im usually a Ranch dressing girl, but today i grabbed light french, so it calmed my craving for something sweet... and i also tossed a little tuna on there for something healthy + filling...

11:56 am

Its funny how we have hungry days.....Probably change of season.....or are we going to have a new babbler?

11:57 am

bite your tongue! heh

11:57 am

just having a hungry week, it seems... it happens now + then...

11:57 am

12:02 pm

Hi lex, oh Uni your icon is a treat *grin*

12:02 pm

12:03 pm

Oh EvaN BTW anything I eat this evening at is remotely fattening is your fault :)

12:03 pm

Well done lex, I knew you could do it

12:03 pm

Weren't you around when I put it up, FM? I don't remember..I may keep it awhile...George's birthday is in a few days as well :)

12:03 pm

my husband actually had a dream - that means he slept

12:03 pm

YEs I was but it make me laugh all over again

12:04 pm

How can you blame Eva for anything FM, its your fault

12:04 pm

lex things are going to get better for you

12:04 pm

Darn it, I was hoping for once to get away without the blame.

12:05 pm

Lori took me out for lumch and I had a wonderful cheeseburger platter. Definitely fattening, but delicious!

12:06 pm

just had to refresh -- that is a GREAT icon, uni. :)

12:06 pm

Its nice to have a treat Uni

12:06 pm

I was gonna upgrade - because it was payday but.....I spent $480 - on PREcollege stuff for my daughter

12:06 pm

man, i go away for just a minute to refresh + FM tries to blame me for something?? tsk!!

12:06 pm

I agree with Eva I love that icon Uni

12:07 pm

Oh go on lex treat yourself

12:07 pm

OK I give up, I'm off to the kitchen to concoct and Im leaving the washing up for you to do.

12:09 pm

Bye FM see you later

12:09 pm

I've never had any Ben + Jerry's...intimidates me that ice cream can be taht expensive

12:09 pm

12:10 pm

its best that you dont have it...because once you have it, youll be addicted!

12:10 pm

"Flappy Earth Day to Haz , hum hum hum* Sticks tongue out at EvaN for teasing. Uni it is devine I had it once but too too much ££

12:10 pm

31 flavors for 31 cents when?????

12:10 pm

the Baskin Robbins was yesterday... today is nothing ice-cream-related, so far as i know...heh

12:10 pm

I go on kicks...only eat one kind of ice cream for months, then switch. Back on vanilla right now. Or choc. chip cookie dough with skor pieces sprinkled on top..

12:11 pm

EVA you demon!!!

12:12 pm

Eva's not a demon, she is a marvelous auntie :)

12:12 pm

I've been on an Root beer Float kick - only I use just a little rootbeer and make a shake

12:12 pm

12:13 pm

I think B+J would give me a sugar attack!

12:14 pm

I have never heard of all those flavours of ice cream

12:14 pm

my favorite of theirs is Oatmeal Cookie Chunk (a good one if you like cookie dough): Sweet Cream Cinnamon Ice Cream with Chunks of Oatmeal Cookies & Fudge

12:15 pm

12:16 pm

*puts head down and works on puzzle/grid**

12:16 pm

I dont eat much ice cream but if I had a choice it would have to be cherry flavour

12:16 pm

12:16 pm

12:24 pm

12:24 pm

1:06 pm

Yay fireworks all over the place

1:06 pm

DA 6 please

1:06 pm

HI Annie

1:06 pm

kje, i think i had the grid in my mind...was babbling as i walked thru Home Depot..and thanks

1:07 pm

it is amazing how parts of our minds continue to work on a problem even when we aren't consciously thinking about it... and then poof, a solution

1:07 pm

mlf, past tense of th da 4/6

1:07 pm

ty annie

1:08 pm

Da 5/20?

1:08 pm

an absent mind leaves me feeling empty

1:08 pm

the problem at hand, should I spend $1000 on a laminate kitchen counter, I think it is a bit much

1:08 pm

da 5 is a plural

1:08 pm

plural of the previous 4, MLF

1:08 pm

way out of my knowledge area annie

1:08 pm

and the counter is only 72 inches

1:08 pm

Does it have to be replaced? and is there another option Annie?

1:09 pm

oh never mind i had it already llol

1:09 pm

It really doesnt have to be replaced...have one little area that is worn but I am tired of looking at it...will look around more to see if it is worth doing

1:10 pm

wow, FM sounds so damn practical : )

1:10 pm

lol sorry,

1:10 pm

kje, I need a practical person...dont pick on FM

1:11 pm

or else....a babble, harmless threat

1:11 pm

are the do 4/5 and 5/12 the first two on related?

1:11 pm

I'm not picking on her... I'm teasing her (and impressed with how quickly she came up with something rather than my "I have no idea response) - I only tease people I like : )

1:12 pm

kje, I know...only teasing you

1:12 pm

yes MLF

1:12 pm

yes mlf

1:12 pm

ty es

1:12 pm

jes

1:12 pm

going to get some ice cream...anyone want some?

1:12 pm

what kind... don't like strawberry

1:13 pm

Sits back and wait for kje and Annie to finish. It's a lot of money so I would look at a few options before I spent that much (unless the budget is limitless).

1:13 pm

hi all! Annie, I read about your counter top. Often when you replace a counter, depending on how the last one was installed, you end up needing to replace the cabinets too. There are ways to adhere new laminate on top of old counter.

1:13 pm

and if thats the case Im on the next plane over!

1:13 pm

okay jes i give up can you clue it please

1:13 pm

annie i would like some coffee ice cream please

1:13 pm

i donthave enough in our freezer lol

1:14 pm

da + foot digits abbreviated...and plural

1:14 pm

you are right fruit you shoudl be able to install new counter tops over the old

1:14 pm

coffee ice cream for mlf..no strawberry for kje...how about vanilla ice cream with peanut butter and kahlua poured over the top

1:14 pm

skip the PB...and I'll take it!

1:15 pm

will sleep on the counter for a while...thank you all for your input

1:15 pm

ice cream and peanut butter now I've heard everything!

1:15 pm

kje i need the do 4 and 5

1:15 pm

FM, it is Delicious

1:15 pm

annie - was it you that told me a week or two ago to make a kahlua vanilla shake - have done it a couple times now - deadly!

1:15 pm

Hands Annie some cushions as sleeping on the counter will be uncomfortable

1:15 pm

YES PLEASE ANNIE

1:15 pm

do4 sounds like what you enter a room through

1:15 pm

oh yes, that would help MLF - LOL

1:15 pm

do + double consonant and plural

1:16 pm

silly kje lol

1:16 pm

I did the peanut butter/vanilla ice cream last night, I'll have to try the kahlua

1:16 pm

kje, it wasnt me but will make one tonight....thanks!!!

1:16 pm

I finally found Reese's Pourable Peanut Butter - heavenly!

1:16 pm

Annie, my suggestion is do some checking and get what you want. You have earned a reward for yourself.

1:16 pm

ty got it

1:16 pm

*takes cushions from FM and places them on the counter for tonight*

1:17 pm

like the way BR thinks - LOL

1:18 pm

3:11 pm

hi west

3:11 pm

Hi West

3:11 pm

3:11 pm

I know, saph... but, it's a tough one to handle. Are you eligible to collect unemployment insurance?

3:11 pm

hi sprite and lyn

3:11 pm

no - the economy is just getting worse and people are using money for other things besides home improvement and interior design

3:12 pm

hi monty too

3:12 pm

yeah I put in for unemployment yesterday

3:12 pm

admire your positive attitude, saphyre. Hope it pays off very fast.

3:12 pm

hello babblers - back for a brief spell

3:12 pm

Hi kje

3:12 pm

Oh, I am so very sorry... the entire nation is in awful straits now, saph. Do you have a back-up career? Hi, kje and westford.

3:13 pm

3:13 pm

We'll be ok for a while - this is my hubby's busy season - lots of overtime

3:13 pm

hi kje

3:13 pm

am with sprite, saphyre... hope this turns out for the best for you...

3:13 pm

That's encouraging that you don't have to rely on just one salary, saph.

3:14 pm

I am certified in Microsoft but don't want the 3 hour commute that I had for 8 years - especially with the price of gas now

3:14 pm

hi and bye kje - must go - happy babbling all - "POOF"

3:14 pm

3 hours! where are you in MD saph?

3:14 pm

bye montreal!

3:14 pm

It will $4 a gallon soon, saph... I don't blame you. Be well, dear Lucien!!

3:14 pm

bye monte

3:15 pm

Southern MD and worked in Northern VA for 8 years - it was horrible

3:15 pm

bye dear friends - "ACTUAL POOF"

3:15 pm

my last job was only 7 minutes away - I guess good things can't last forever

3:15 pm

That's not even worth it, saph.

3:16 pm

Maybe this was meant to be a time of contemplation and consideration of your future... maybe rest a bit before plunging back into the job market.

3:16 pm

an indication of the US troubles that effect the rest of the world...I lost 25% of my superannuation fund because of the US economic issues this year

3:16 pm

bye Mont

3:16 pm

Lynxxx... that is disgusting that the world suffers because we have dimbulbs in charge of our affairs.

3:17 pm

True Scarlet, my daughter is starting an online charity site so I will help her with that for now

3:17 pm

*seconds that*

3:17 pm

Already you are seeing the plusses of not working... you have an amazing attitude, dear saphyre...

3:18 pm

Spritey, which are you seconding... the dimbulbs? LOL

3:18 pm

yup :)

3:18 pm

:) You get a lot further being positive, besides worrying never accomplishes much

3:18 pm

**giggling with sprite**

3:18 pm

is it mini and easy? or mini and tough? Hi all!!

3:19 pm

Exactly, saph! Brava for the positive mind!

3:19 pm

8:41 pm

i want TUDOR to be an acceptable word

8:42 pm

don't we all?

8:42 pm

No, just that I am inclined to be concerned, with the little I know. So I will be supportive yet cautious...

8:42 pm

10 left and tudor and tudors are not acceptable - i plan to pout

8:43 pm

never were, jin, never were 8-)

8:43 pm

while i pout could someone clue me on tu 5/12 please?

Well pam, its all a bit wierd. but i am getting sick of having long telephone conversations. much easier in person. not the same hospital either. but we will see, I may simply stay in Florida. The weather here is nice.

8:44 pm

private teacher Jin

8:44 pm

tu 5/12 - to teach one on one

8:44 pm

now someone needs to slap me with a fish

8:45 pm

being in separate hospitals makes good sense! And, i can imagine that the conversations are bloody frustrating.

8:45 pm

I hope he meets your expectations, red

8:45 pm

thank you dan and wv

8:46 pm

i hope we all get happier...

8:46 pm

yw jin

8:46 pm

8:47 pm

Hear, hear hursh!

LOL Pam, H. is a girl. It's not that kind of attachment. :)

8:47 pm

no Pam its here here!

8:48 pm

sa8 is plural of sa7

8:48 pm

Oh, I thought H was that guy, not your friend. I can be an idiot

8:48 pm

maybe she wishes to tell you to hear what i say

i need that too

8:48 pm

I asked jiili, jin and she said hear, hear... I am so confused

no its Ok. We are very close and people do think its strange...but

Here here? where here?

8:49 pm

now that i think about it i don't know which it is

8:49 pm

look, red, i am the LAST person to think that's strange, my two oldet friends are guys, one gay, straight

8:49 pm

sa7 is sa5 (way to cook something) - last letter + circle + first 2 letters of a Will Smith action movie based on Ray Bradburys book about robots

8:49 pm

shes right - i am recalling a chog where i was corrected on the same thing. In fact i was agreeing with Hursch on something

8:50 pm

http://www.straightdope.com/mailbag/mh ear.html

8:50 pm

(that's a LOT of clue right there!)

8:50 pm

that link was for hear, hear...

8:50 pm

Hear hear is an expression that originated as hear ye, or hear him, usually repeated. This imperative was used to call attention to a speaker's words, and naturally developed the sense of a broad expression of favour. This is how it is still used today, although one can always vary one's tone to express different sentiments; the Oxford English Dictionary noted around the turn of the century that the phrase is now the regular form of cheering in the House of Commons, and expresses, according to intonation, admiration, acquiescence, indignation, derision, etc. It is often incorrectly spelled "here here".

8:50 pm

(wiki)

8:51 pm

don't know that movie, tor...

8:51 pm

which is what i did and was rightly corrected for (i learn something everyday)

8:51 pm

except of course in the valley of sound, where it's "hear here"

i do hope she meets my expectations though...lol.

8:52 pm

LOLOLOL, red... thanks for being so nice about that gaffe

8:52 pm

as 6/21 please!

8:53 pm

can someone clue the sa 7/8?

8:53 pm

sorry, dan

8:53 pm

sa7/32: first four letters of sa 5/12 plus film n*** pam

8:53 pm

first ri5 anyone?

8:54 pm

as6/21 is to be very clever at figuring things out, or observing them

8:54 pm

cook quickly in a pan minus e, then end like milady's chamber

its ok....I have to say, I'm very very close to her and occasionally catch myself chiping along about her as if she was a boyfriend, so it probably wasn't that much of a gaffe...

I've been watching the first series of 'Dexter' here in UK. I'm up to 4 out of 12 but I know who the Ice Truck Killer is because a net site I visited to check out Jeff Lindsay's books had a spoiler in it. GRRR! I bought the first two of the 4 books today. It seems they are darker than the TV series.

9:27 pm

south american river...ri* de **nero , spelling sucks

9:28 pm

9:29 pm

y/w, chalk.

9:29 pm

Hi Pida.

9:30 pm

Finally finished, and that ri was my last one. Took a lot of monkey typing

9:30 pm

oh get this - an african-american state rep is trying to get "the state of rhode island and providence plantations" (smallest state, longest name) reduced to "the state of rhode island", because "plantations" makes him think of slavery. even though, of course, the state name does not relate at all. it will cost $350,000 if he succeeds in getting it put on the ballot for the fall, because it will mean adding a second page or something.

9:31 pm

Well done, pida.

9:31 pm

Just another attention addict looking for something to get offended at ..

9:32 pm

A fool and his money are soon parted, as the saying goes, Hursh.

9:32 pm

and who knows how much it will cost changing it on all official documents if it did pass...

9:32 pm

Problem is, Jac he's the fool and it's our money ..

9:32 pm

that is worrisome, jac, as RI is particularly full of fools

9:33 pm

he said the stone blocks in the statehouse don't have to be recarved, though. so that's something.

9:35 pm

What's he doing to lessen poverty? or homelessness? or the price of gas? or ..

9:35 pm

How do these Rhode Island fools cost the state?

whats the sr plz?

9:36 pm

sr + short word meaning 'exists', chalk.

9:36 pm

it's a little thing we call "taxes"

9:37 pm

Ah, hursh, I see.

9:39 pm

wow, i really relate to this kid

9:39 pm

Going better now that I used the list .. Down to 16 ..

9:39 pm

i don't want to be a clown, but, the general idea is relatable

hi av FIREWORKS yippee thanks for help all xx

9:43 pm

hursh - no one ever does 'the sensible thing' in TV and film scenarios, or else there'd be nothing to watch. If the woman in the haunted/zombie ridden house ran straight out of the door at the start instead of going down to the cellar or up to the attic , usingly only a failing torch or a flickering candle to light her way.... need I say more?

9:43 pm

so hurshy, I see you badmouthing RIers. You from RI?

9:48 pm

yes, those things i love. and pizza strips. and del's.

9:48 pm

9:48 pm

We have a city called Coventry here in UK. We also have a saying, 'Sent to Coventry'. That means no one is speaking to you.

9:49 pm

But the world's best pastry is to be had only at Pastiche off Atwell's Ave (Little Italy)

At least where I come from, it is.

the point is the vowel sound though

9:51 pm

jacula, there is no way to transcribe the way people in the NE USA mangle vowel sounds.

9:51 pm

10:11 pm

A lot of weird words I would not have got without Lickety ..

10:12 pm

10:13 pm

I guess I've become acustomed to the weird words. We did have a grid, can't remember now if it was yesterday or the day before that had some new stuff in it.

10:13 pm

10:14 pm
