12:41 am

oh, yes indeed - even if it was 44 years ago for me

12:42 am

I knew all of you would want to see the baby, not just hear the news. ;D

ummm... and I'm a little embarrassed to say.... I don't entirely understand how the clues (the letter with the numbers) work either :-/

12:46 am

me 5/14 and me 6/24 are eluding me (I have the first me 5/14)

12:46 am

oh -- the 4 means it's four letters long, the 5 means the total value is 5 points

12:47 am

for 5 letter words, the point value doubles, trebles on 6s, etc

12:47 am

and thats fireworks for me woohooo

12:47 am

been through the list and still can't get the remaining 8-9 combo

12:47 am

12:47 am

ng me crazy

2:02 am

we just had the nightly hiccup

i would call that a hiccup

2:03 am

it's my new keyboard...too many keys I don't know yet

2:03 am

io 5 from the first column i

2:03 am

cj, you would know if you had BabbleExpert -- do you have a Mac or a PC?

2:03 am

ok hopefully I fixed that

2:03 am

a pc

2:04 am

I only have the pro...

2:05 am

BR...io + eating ***ner

2:05 am

I still have much to learn obviously....

2:05 am

then just email Lickety and he will send you Expert -- it's a huge timesaver -- puts everything on one page, plus there's a Lickety Add place where if you type one word it goes to the list, more than one goes to chat. It's free.

2:05 am

I am finished

wow, i just totally pulled the ud8/9 out of my you know what

2:05 am

but thank you

2:05 am

wtg BabbleRabble

2:07 am

And there's a link to Morewords in the Resources menu in Expert too. But for now, have a look at morewords.com

3:04 am

G'd morning Ata, Lynx.

3:05 am

I feel like I'm got a hangover from hell. Clever as I having touched a drop of alcohol for days!

3:05 am

hope your not coming down with something

3:05 am

I think you've been robbed then. :)

3:06 am

I know! I at least want a decent night before if I'd going to feel like hell!

3:06 am

me too. just a bad night's sleep, I think and hope

3:08 am

did you hear back from yr friend about the price of your artwork?

3:09 am

not yet, she was away for the weekend, I think. I'll let you know when I do!

3:15 am

I did the re. Let the pigeons loose! :p

3:16 am

woohooo!

3:18 am

wait - an *11* letter word!!!! O.O!

3:19 am

Really? Uh oh...... It'll show up sooner or later.

3:21 am

so at least it's not an re!

3:22 am

lol yes, we can eliminate that.

3:22 am

You don't want the start do you?

3:22 am

alleluia! *choirs of angels*

3:22 am

not yet

3:22 am

Ot, just wait a bit, and before even attempting to look for it, someone will ask......

3:22 am

*or even

3:23 am

bet it's a C

3:23 am

I swear there's 42 d's in this grid. :D

3:23 am

I'll leave you to it then. Goodnite (no its not)

3:23 am

alleluia even more!

3:24 am

Bad night Lynx?

3:25 am

* What's an archeologist?

3:26 am

* Someone whose career is in ruins.

3:26 am

Sorry, distracted. No not at all, watching the John Adams series which is on shortly, deserves undivided attention. Byee

3:26 am

lol

3:27 am

grrrrr pup pestering already!

3:27 am

lol Lynx enjoy !

3:27 am

And Hobbit enters stage right. :p

3:28 am

little bratling

3:28 am

3:34 am

hello

3:34 am

good morning everyone, I was only just popping in to see the grid and then I saw that you were here Lori and felt I couldnt deprive you lol :):)

3:35 am

Hi jean!!!!!!! :D

3:35 am

God love ya', I can never get enough of that. Thanks! :D

3:36 am

lol yw:)

3:39 am

right must dash, will bbl Happy Babbling everyone:)

3:40 am

Have a good one jean.

3:46 am

Ahhh, so that came in handy after all. Bet it gets used more than once in the bigger words. ***feels briefly revitalized***

3:49 am

heh, yup. Got the 10/11

. . . Good for you! I have a single seven and nothing above that; my brain isn't here tonight

3:51 am

G'd morning Samantha.

Good . . WHAT? Is it *morning* already? Oh dear.

3:53 am

Lunch time here sam!!!

Now I feel better about life. And about the wee itty bitty drink I'm having. :)

. . . WHich, come to think of it, may help explain why I can't think of words longer than four letters

3:53 am

lol :)

I've entered "cordite" four times now. I think that makes it today's Official Phantom

3:55 am

Good morning all...I rarely post, but I've finished this one early so if anyone needs any clues...

po8,55 and po9,72?

3:56 am

G'd morning snark, congratulations then.

3:57 am

Use the big word ending, but without the t.

Snark, I have te 4x4, to4, tr4 and tr5x2. Can you tell me what I'm missing?

big word ending?

3:58 am

PO +top of the head + what the sun gives off, diff spelling.

I don't know what she meant by that either, steph, if it makes you feel any better

3:59 am

There's a te5 Samantha

Ah, thank you. It's good to have a place to start

Aaaaaand . . . D'oh. It's a fishy te5. Someone slap me around with a mackerel.

4:01 am

Very welcome.

4:04 am

If that PO was too obscure, can I give a definition to help? I believe it's a part of a limb of insects.

That PO clue is killing me, actually. Top of the head--the scalp? The crown? The crest? The bald spot? And the sun gives off energy, in the form of heat and light . . . I ain't seeing it, but then i'm not the one who asked for it, and did I mention my wee itty bitty drink?

4:07 am

Okay, let me try this...po + the astro***** + fernando **y

You know there's an island in Equatorial Guinea called Fernando Poo?

4:09 am

That's new to me...I was thinking of the actor.

Ihave barely enough brain function left to keep my heart beating, so I'll take your word for it that there's an actor by that name. :)

4:10 am

Might be going back a bit in history...

Wait. Are we talking about DON QUIXOTE?

Wait. Are we talking about DON QUIXOTE?

4:12 am

He might have been...I was thinking of Cyrano de Bergerac.

CdB is one of my favorite scripts of all time. I even liked Steve Martin in it.

4:13 am

The 1990 version with Gerard Depardieu is my fave.

I don't watch movies with Gerard in them.

4:16 am

I watch almost anything....except when sleepy. Any other clues I can fill in before heading to bed?

I appreciate the help you've already given, but honestly, I'm just not far enough along to be ready for clues yet. Thanks again!

4:17 am

S'alright...have a good one.

4:18 am

Have a good one snark

Hi red

Hi Herin...

5:28 am

Good morning, lovely babblers!

how are you today?

5:29 am

<-------anyone notice I am looking a little PRO today?

Congrats Trifoso....

TRIIIIIIIIIFFFFFFFFFI well done

And Herin I am fine, I think I have now completely recovered from my Disney Adventure.

wonderful

I just have to download the photos. How are you?

cool

nothing major

I am ok

good

5:33 am

hmmmm....this grid has no street cred.

I am good.

Hello all!

Hi Nonnie!

hiya red. Is this a painful grid?

not really...

Oh good. And how are you these days?

I'm good, and you? Lots of family for the Holidays?

5:41 am

Good morning.

Hello Scrabbler.

5:41 am

The snowplow just went by.

5:42 am

we got rain today instead of snow, praise the lord

5:42 am

don't have to shovel rain....

Ahhh. No rain no Snow...chilly, but...still wearing shorts.

my goodness my internet is being rude today.

5:43 am

It is still dark out but when the plow went by I did not see a lot of snow.

Hello everyone i missed

5:43 am

Hi herin

I'm fine. Some of us are able to head to my folks this year. Small group for us this year. How about you, big plans?

Morning scrabbler!

my internet is stuffed

morning tri and herin

No plans really, run a turkey trot in the morning, and work for 8 hours...

5:43 am

just curious - the school bus for Primo and Secondo comes at 6:35am = does that seem a tad too early to anyone else besides me?

5:44 am

Are you in Italia, Trifioso?

5:44 am

no, the us - hey - where's my flag?

5:44 am

back!

I am watching this show where the girls heart is on the wrong side of her chest and backwards and has a hole in it

5:44 am

oooh trif! you're pro!

Are you in the country and the bus has to travel a good distance?

5:45 am

Our middle/high school bus gets the kids at 6:55 AM, and the elementary kids at 8:20.

hello ata!

Hi atta

5:45 am

Are you referring to your kids, Tri, as Primo and Secondo?

morning ata lante.

5:46 am

yes - that is how I call them when I don't want them to know I am discussing them, or just as nicknames, really, as P and S have long since figured it out

5:46 am

herin--that is called dextrocardia. We have a few kids with that. Some also have situs inversus--chest and abd organs are reversed, i.e. liver is on the left.

5:46 am

Hi Ata

5:46 am

scrabbler - sounds like we are on the same bus schedule....drives me MUTS

5:47 am

sorry, kidspeak again - Muts = mega nuts

Tri, what time does their school start?

5:47 am

G'd morning again Babblers.

5:47 am

7:10, I think. The town I live in is fairly teeny, so it's a not a long ride

5:47 am

oh scrabs, you missed the latest on sister. it's laughable. the new rheum woman submitted her report to sister's GP and concluded that the wound on her arm was self-inflicted, and that she kept enlarging it herself. OMG. She can't even touch it without entonox!

5:48 am

I am in a rural area so the busses need to travel great areas to get kids.

5:48 am

hi again Lorikinetella!

Its on the Sugery Saved my Life Show. I find these things interesting and amazing with the medical advances

5:48 am

and seriously - how come I don't have a flag and a little pink lady?

5:48 am

Geez, Ata!!

5:48 am

Ata, you've GOT TO BE kidding me.

5:48 am

because you need to click little tick boxes in your profile, tri :)

5:48 am

Hi Queen of Nova Scotia.

5:48 am

I bet the snow plows near Buffalo clear the streets better than they do in more southerly climes

5:49 am

I can lend you my Canadian flag Tri. :D

5:49 am

nope! isn't that just *great*! not saying anymore cos everyone heard the rants last night, but *please*!

I used to have to be in school at 8am in high school. My parents moved to around the corner of the school as a way to make me get there before it closed

5:49 am

Yes, western NY snowplowers are pros!

5:49 am

I make tri an honorary canadian!

5:49 am

phantom = idiot

5:49 am

Hey Scrabbler. How goes the battle? Ata, that's so ridiculous it needs its own word.

5:50 am

I moved from New York City 36 years ago and I was amazed at how much better they are about clearing the streets here

5:50 am

It's not a phantom Scrabbler, I'm here! :p

5:50 am

I don't have little tick boxes - under my account, edit my profile, I get a grey box to enter info, with just one tick box up in the corner, to "show my profile" which i ticked.....is this a firefox thing?

and yes 630am is stupid

5:50 am

isn't it just. we're all just wondering what drugs she's been taking in her spare time

5:50 am

hi beautiful peoples

5:50 am

Yes, President of Densa!

No Trifi you may have to clean out your cookies for babble then redo

5:50 am

happy babbling

You're right, bichon. Our county only has a few plows and there is no way they can handle all our roads.

5:50 am

No, I use Firefox, Tri.

5:51 am

Hi Oodle.

5:51 am

<----DENSA and proud of it. :)

hello oodle!

5:51 am

and Lori = my original last name is Cloutier - proud Froggie Canadian/Indian, ty vm! Bring on the flag!

hi oddle

5:51 am

did you click "update profile"?

5:51 am

**clapping hands for Lori**

5:51 am

herin you mean they close the door at 8am if your child is not there??

5:51 am

I use FF exclusively Tri, no probs here.

5:52 am

we love FF

um late meant detention and i am not a friggen morning person

5:52 am

Explorer and all M$ stuff is useful as tits on a bull.

5:52 am

I love Firefox too, and all of its available applications, themes, extensions, etc.

5:53 am

***completely ignores grid***

5:53 am

but you said you moved closer to the school so your child could get there before it closed

5:53 am

Lori= go with the chocolate teapot - my favorite new phrase!

5:53 am

I have a measly 22 words. Where are the words hiding?

5:53 am

You working today Scrabbler?

5:53 am

somewhere I can'tr find them

5:53 am

the 10/11 are easy, it's the other words

5:54 am

lololol Tri ***I'm positive it's a 102 word grid***

5:54 am

NOW I am set

5:54 am

There are a 10 and 11? I never looked at the word stats...still waking up.

5:54 am

po 8/9 was the only weird one, but very monkeyable

5:54 am

(please can ppl not clue the 10/11 without warning? I don't want to hide the chat but don't want clues yet!)

5:54 am

Oh look, Tri has a country. Yea!

congrats tri!

No. My parents moved closer to the school as a way of making me go there. And yes the school did ''close'' at 8am if you had to be there in year 11 and 12 we got to finish at 2pm. The theory was doing homework at that time but as i lived on the beach it never happened

5:55 am

yes, thanks to the recent election I can proudly be american again!

5:55 am

That's why i went looking early Ata, because I knew people would as without even looking.....

5:55 am

Yippee, Trifioso!! All official now. So where do you live?

5:55 am

Norwell, Massachusetts

5:55 am

yeah ... Hobbit put pa4 to that idea for me!!

5:55 am

Must be nice, Tri. I love New England.

5:56 am

I don't mind if ppl clue them all day as long as I know when to look away for a bit!

5:56 am

All very doable Ata. ***mini smug***

5:56 am

it's lovely here. But weirdly cold this year - I never remember skating before Tkgiving before, but this year we are!

5:56 am

**going to make 2nd cup of tea**

5:56 am

so if you got there at 8 you couldn't get in eh?

5:56 am

yay lori! yay lori!

5:56 am

wow, lori= well done!

5:57 am

I can't even think of any 11 letter words right now *drinks tea quickly to get caffeine boost*

5:57 am

I started at the top this morn, for variety. Once I got to the bottom, I found the obvious.....

You had to go to the principle

5:58 am

Not obvious to me yet.....

5:58 am

I got a 7! go me!!

5:58 am

Or even the principal

5:58 am

Yea Atatude!

5:58 am

coddite

5:59 am

Seeing the principle with interest........

5:59 am

Ooh, I love cad, so I guess I am a coddite

5:59 am

oodle - you are skating near the PB!

5:59 am

I keep wanting trematode

5:59 am

fish and chips, with cod, yummy

5:59 am

doctor and medic. I tried them a trillion times

6:00 am

GOT THEM!

opps sorry bout that spelling i am stuffing a mousse cookie into my mouth

6:00 am

Hi there I have revised my feelings about the grid, it gets better the further you dig.

6:01 am

morning fm!

hello fm

6:02 am

oh, I just thought of something - the mousse cookie made me think of it - any of you lovely Brits ever hear of a chocolate loaf kind of thing called a hedgehog? I think it's made with rich tea biscuits?

6:02 am

Well done Ata! wb FM

Hedgehog slice? Yes make it alot

6:02 am

my mother used to make me hedgehod cakes for her birthdays

6:02 am

I am desparate for recipe for same....

I can find one right now Trifs for you

6:03 am

*glows in smug glow*

6:03 am

<------5 words aren't there

6:03 am

Atatelligence strikes again.

6:04 am

someone made one for the grief buffet after my FIL died in Ireland, and my son pretty much inhaled the whole thing...the woman who made it promised the recipe but then wouldn't give it (Ta!) and have been looking ever since Not the easiest thing to find in US!

6:04 am

I need a smug input. Hobbit rolled on something indescribably unpleasant, and I had to buy air freshener on the way home because she stank so badly!

Trifs do you have email i can send to you? I have 2 versions

6:05 am

trifioso@comcast.net

6:05 am

FOREVER in your debt!

6:05 am

lol shirley Hobbit would never do that.

6:05 am

Hi FM. You entered when I was checking e-mail.

6:05 am

she got washed in washing up liquid as soon as we got home! and still smells.

6:05 am

dogs are foul

6:06 am

ata - is Hobbit a dog or a child? My dog rolled in something yesterday too, and went right in the dreaded tub - perhaps they were out together?

Done

6:06 am

loool dog. nasty black spaniel thing.

What did you find that worked, Ata? My g-daughter lost her lunch during in the car and I haven't been able to get the stink out. I've scrubbed with fabuloso and sprayed with fabreeze. Now I have vomit ladden floral scent. Good thing it is cold outside!

Trifs you should get a message form her_infernal_ladyship

6:07 am

oh, Well, my Diggity is usually a lovely little man, but yesterday he did misbehave.

6:07 am

herein did you finish the last grid?

6:07 am

sorry my chat froze! congrats on going pro Trif!!

6:07 am

I am so in love with you right now, herin!

nope

6:07 am

Solid question tri, because I have boys that do the same tyhings as Hobbit on occasion....

6:07 am

I'm sorry

6:08 am

thanks FM. Doesn't really help solving grids, though I do get a nice avatar....

6:08 am

I usually find some anti-bacterial kitchen spray and scrub that everywhere, it's not meant for that, but it usually works!

Trifs i also use www.taste.com.au and www.allrecipes.com and abc recipes and yahoo better homes and gardens

Ata did you want it too?

6:08 am

***unthaws FM's chat with hair dryer***

6:08 am

....taking notes, herin.....

6:08 am

lol, Lori to the recue :)

Triffs do you have Organic Cocoa powder?

6:08 am

my mum has it :)

I'll have to give that a try. If it doesn't work, I'm tempted to get the power washer out and hose it down.

6:09 am

no, but it's easy enough to find. The problem with the recipes that I got online is they all for some sort of chocolate goo that we DON'T get here...finding the rich tea bikkies in the US is exciting enough!

6:09 am

anti-bacterial spray is the only thing I've ever found that usually works on the nastiest things! *and* doesn't smell floral!

6:09 am

Is that a pic of you Trif?

6:10 am

yep, that's me in all my summer glory

6:10 am

oh, gawd, wait - is that against the rules here too?

6:10 am

Pretty lady :)

6:10 am

there's very little against the rules here!

ok Trifs i will find the equivalant for you

6:11 am

well, it didn't help much, I still got dumped, but thanks (still smarting....)

6:11 am

LOL no Trif, its nice to put faces to names :)

Very nice picture, Tri!

6:11 am

He was obviously stoopid!

6:11 am

*suddenly looks suspicious* have you got a cat, Trif?

6:12 am

BRB caffeine deficiency

I need to get ready for work. You good people have a wonderful day.

6:13 am

I don't know, I still want my old life back, even if it wasn't perfection everyday....but this is interesing - he is INSISTING on coming to Thanskgiving dinner at my sister's. It's making me a wreck. The very site of him gets me all undone. don't want to snivel through dinner....I am so conflicted.

6:13 am

And I did, Ata, but it died in july, poor kitty....

6:13 am

oh nooooo :( sorry :(

6:14 am

why did you ask, though?

6:15 am

just wondering if we had a new contender for the CoG. FM can explain :P

:( Trifs do you have arnotts biscuits?

6:15 am

I think we have mcvities...

6:15 am

I can? Another time parhaps!

6:16 am

you could always use McVities digestives

6:16 am

we'll explain later *nods*

6:16 am

If you promise not to tell, I can reveal a secret - Primo is getting a kitten for Christmas. It was born last week....

6:16 am

Later Nonnie, have a great day!

ill look at that

6:16 am

I am so telling Primo...congrats, Trif!

6:16 am

ohhhh!

6:16 am

ooooo! how exciting :)

6:17 am

oh dear. KoG contender!

6:17 am

***smiles secure in knowledge I have the KoG***

6:17 am

I am just loughing out loud. It's a little black one, and I will bet you dollars to donuts he names it something like "Emo" or "goth"

6:17 am

how many have you got now, Lori? All the shed kittens still?

6:18 am

awwwww. He should call it Voltaire.

6:18 am

what does the g stand for?

OHh Trifs soooo cut

OHh Trifs soooo cut cute

6:18 am

severus is more likely...

6:18 am

Yep, I have the shed all cuddled up for the strays, even though it goes against all the rules.

6:18 am

have you got the Monkton card to hand, FM?

Brillant choice

6:19 am

we saw a pic of Emma yesterday :)

Trifs what plain borring biscuits do you have there?

6:19 am

crap. Not to air too much of my dirty laundry, but now I am blubbering again, just thinking about thanksgivng. I am SICK of being such a cry bag

6:20 am

Well, I'm glad somebody's seeing pics of emma.... :p

6:20 am

awwwww *hugs Trif*

6:20 am

Stop crying, Trif, and have a strategy.

6:21 am

***hands Tri a kleenex and picture of me in a clown suit***

6:21 am

it was an old one cos she's too blurry to take pics of now. apparently. bad excuse, I think

6:21 am

in case I forget to say it later, you guys rock

6:21 am

Trif, you must display complete control and calm--no weakness.

arrowroot biscuits

6:21 am

Uni comes from a long line of ptrocrastoinators....

6:22 am

That's why we come here everyday, Trif---great, supportive community.

6:22 am

tell your sister not to let him in cos he's not wanted, and tell him to come and meet you at some less evocative time. if you wish to see him

TRIFS do you have Nabisco?

6:22 am

are those like pterodactyls?

6:22 am

Hahaha, Lori and Ata

6:22 am

You want me to come and toilet paper his yard Tri?

6:23 am

lol Ata, I knew I wasn't getting away with that typo.

6:23 am

Ooh, can I help, Lori?

6:23 am

Me too!!

6:23 am

Vaseline the door knobs?

6:23 am

it was just too brilliant

6:23 am

I am up to 38 words...maybe I will see more this evening.

6:23 am

Switch his salt and sugar around?

6:24 am

Let's put a laxative in his water supply.

6:24 am

Trif babble is a great place guess thats why so many of us hand around here!

Trifs you there?

6:24 am

Oh, oh, oh, I know, sunscribe him to 75 different magazines.

6:24 am

*hang

6:24 am

sorry = poofed for a second to go check the biscuits - looks like they are Burton's Rich Tea biscuits.

6:24 am

She must be taking notes, herin

6:24 am

we're very good at ex-boyfriends / husbands and revenge

6:24 am

*subscribe even

Trifs do you have Nabisco arrowroot biscuits?

6:25 am

I have to be really careful - nothing has been legally settled yet, and everything *EVERYTHING* I do has ramifications. It just sucks.

6:25 am

Not if WE do it Tri...... :p

6:25 am

Well, kids, with the new snow overnight I must get an early start to work. Enjoy the day.

6:25 am

everything has ramifications, but sometimes a tiny moment of childishness is very satisfying

6:26 am

Hi all...clues please for me5/14 and me6/24 following it please?

6:26 am

Bye Scrabs have a good day

Drive safe Scrabble

Flask french for poo

6:26 am

I would love to think I could be a rock of grace, Scrabbler, but emotions are so close to the surface, I blow it every time. He is being so sneaky - little bombs going off everywhere, not telling me stuff - liek the other day, the change of address form showed up here, showing that all mail is his name will now go to a PO box in his new town. Okay....so much for me being able to pay the bills - everything is in HIS name, so will go to his new addy. If he doesn't pay them, no lights, phone, or whatever here!

Trifs Step one Reconect in your name

6:27 am

Later Scrabbler, have a Head free day! :)

6:27 am

Trif, fake calmness and control. Show no weakness.

6:27 am

can't you ask the companies to send copies to you as well, you should be able to?

Step two borrow herins boots n kick his bum for being a meanie to you

6:28 am

6:28 am

Congrats Flask!

6:29 am

tc scrabbs have a good day and give thise delicious bunnies a kiss for me:)

6:29 am

I just keep waiting for the next shoe to drop = like he'll show up to Thanksgivng to introduce us all to his male lover or something....

6:29 am

Scrabbler is right, never show your emotions on he outside, you take the power, not him.

6:29 am

Congratulations Flask!

6:29 am

I am just NOT in control of the emotions at the moment. there just hasn't been enough time....

6:30 am

remember he has to maintain appearances too, if legal stuff is going on, he can't be *that* bad without ramifications. I would hope!

6:30 am

You will be, we'll be with you. ***puts on clown suit*** Let it out before or after, but not during.

6:30 am

any chance you would all like to take a little road trip? I could use you all at my back!

6:43 am

ok....just re-waking here..what on earth are we all talking about....

6:44 am

actually, the BBC America channel has really tanked of late. Used to be great stuff, and now it's all Gordon Ramsay, how clean is your house, and the DREADED Bargain Hunt

6:44 am

utter randomness I think!

6:44 am

not David Dickinson? Or have you progressed onto Tim Wonnacott?

6:44 am

Actually Carlee, I am totally guilty of chat hogging today - chogging? anyway, sorry all...

6:45 am

6:45 am

6:47 am

If you dont have Golden Syrup King Syrup is close enough

6:47 am

6:47 am

***lets all clamor for Tri's attention, and then pout when she can;t respond to all our needs at once.*** :D

6:47 am

herin..beehive syrup works too

Thanks Carlee

6:48 am

that's okay. I go out to brekky every Tuesday with a bunch of expats, mostly brits and irish ladies, and we always end up talking about septic systems and tampons, for some reason :)

6:49 am

They let me in cuz of my husband - they said I was "irish by injection" which was VERY rude, but did make laugh...OH, geesh = hope I can still go the Brekky now....I am sure it will be fine....

6:49 am

septic systems! niiice

6:49 am

Wow, Irish folk In Mass, what are the odds?

7:36 am

7:36 am

Cross never knew you were a masochist

7:37 am

sorry - stupid noob question of the day - now that I am pro, is there a way to make the list pop up next to the main babble screen, so I don't have to toggle back and forth?

7:37 am

lol spanner..im amrried arnt i?

7:38 am

upper right corner of what?

7:38 am

I have the od words and others and when I tried to copy and paste them into lickety it told me that was considered cheating??????

7:38 am

ooo you need expert. or have you already got it?

7:38 am

I have it

7:39 am

I meant Trif

7:39 am

Oh I'm sorry

7:39 am

ata are you talking to me? what's expert?

jorjah if you are using Lickety's expert words should go automaticly to his list

7:40 am

thought so :P Email Lickety and ask for Expert :) It will sort out your problems, I think

7:40 am

well, I did figure out a way to have two windows open at the same time, so at least that is something. Makes both teenier, but I can put the specs on....

7:41 am

babble expert rocks!:) and it keeps everyone else for seeing me monkeying up pretend words;)

7:41 am

I have never had this trouble before.... you know how you can hilight all of your words then paste .... add bulk etc?

7:46 am

:P ata

7:46 am

ok, good

7:47 am

I am not enjoying this grid - I am having a lot of blonde days at the moment

7:47 am

its more of a clue list that marks off words you have and shows you the ones that remain and you get the first 2 letters of each word aslindy

7:48 am

spanner, this one is hard

7:48 am

told you so......

7:48 am

tell me about it

7:48 am

and most of my hair is gray lol

7:48 am

10 are hard ...

7:49 am

ata - you mean ten were easy ....

7:49 am

I hate to ask Ata but that hint is just not kicking in...

7:49 am

well ata and carlee make it look easy but as for my grey matter..welll its under strain atm:/

i am finding this grid quite friendly, words seem to flow one from another

7:49 am

yeah, ata--you been playing long?

7:49 am

oh umm ... french for sea + french for of!

7:50 am

look at my profile lol

7:50 am

you guys are killing me.

I am going platinum.....

7:50 am

7:50 am

phantom: pudding

7:51 am

7:51 am

strange ... DrG is usually very god at sorting stuff out

7:51 am

dr god gets back to you pretty fats dale

7:51 am

fast even

7:51 am

maybe I have the wrong email for him

dale what features are you trying to get

7:52 am

just click on the button at the bottom of this page

7:52 am

use the "contact" link at the bottom of the page...

7:52 am

that's what I did

Dr. God hardly ever responds to emails

7:52 am

times two

7:52 am

strange

he takes care of problems you report to him but other than that he does not respond

7:53 am

maybe he's away for a few days, I haven't seen him on facebook

7:53 am

when i joined and had a problem nono,he was back to me within 12 hours;)

7:53 am

Dr GOd always respond to me. :)

7:53 am

I'm kinda mad, because I keep having to switch my info around every two weeks, and nobody knows who I am when I do it

7:53 am

he does! he talks to me anyway lol

7:53 am

OMG, I am too stupid to LIVE sometimes - it just took me 15 minutes to find a word that was all but WAVING at me!

Hi, lickety!

8:57 am

thanks, Annie!

8:59 am

asg!

8:59 am

hints for the O beside the M?

Ooddleberry, they are the correct spellings, but not for the measurement, for the machine which does the measuring

8:59 am

sounds like roundingg the bases, without the H

8:59 am

Eva...Hebrew measure

9:00 am

***mumbles stupid english language***

9:00 am

I only lack 2 te words.

9:01 am

good morning

9:01 am

hi harp

9:01 am

sally? do you know the game that is played in the book Harry Potter?

Um, yes I think so

9:03 am

is there a game like that in England? I mean that is called the same?

You mean, played on broomsticks?<g>

9:04 am

Ooooh, found them!

9:04 am

no just that is CALLED the same

Don't know of one.

9:04 am

broomsticks aside... the only game that uses brooms is curling I believe

You thinking you could find it in the grid?

9:05 am

no just curious

Breaks off from missing me words. There's Lacrosse, which is like, but not the same name.

9:07 am

lacrosse is played here too.... huge in the NE

9:08 am

personally... i never liked the idea of sticks flying up around my head

9:08 am

LaCrosse is also big in Maryland

9:08 am

lacrosse is played with brooms?

9:08 am

yep... that is where i lived for awhile bichon... huge sport there

9:08 am

like football in Texas : )

9:09 am

Also I think in NC

Don't know how popular lacrosse is in UK, when I were a gal we played hockey. Lacrosse was played at public schools (boarding schools)

9:09 am

mid-atlantic states in general i think

9:10 am

my grandson plays lacrosse..lives in Conn.

9:10 am

They don't, as a genral rule, have Lacrosse in public schools here in the NE.

9:10 am

hi annie

9:10 am

Annie, in public or private school?

9:10 am

weighed on monday, annie... up 2 pounds, all your fault

But public school has a different meaning in the US doesn't it?

9:10 am

hi kje, still in Thailand...when are you coming home?

9:11 am

Jan 20th... I'll be in DC for the inauguration parade

Here, public school is fee-paying, not state run

9:11 am

Public is tax-payer supported and isn't boarding. Private is the opposite, but not necessarily boarding

9:11 am

kje, not my fault, all that street food you are eating

9:11 am

public is free private you pay

9:11 am

yes, here public schools are the usual free school... private schools are the pay out of pocket ones

9:12 am

it IS your fault anniee... those fattening high carb bagels you forced down my throat

Here, it's the opposite. Public school is the "posh" school, not the state free one.

9:12 am

kje, that will be really wonderful...DC, I mean

9:12 am

I'm going to be in CA, watching on TV with my granddaughter

9:12 am

kje where did you find to stay? Hotels here are impossible

9:13 am

annie... virtual...

OK, fireworks for me at last. Thought it was a bit easier today once you had the "theme"! Anyone want any clues?

9:13 am

One thing I know, it will be warmer in CA

9:14 am

dan2 - i have lots of relatives and friends all over that area... annapolis, baltimore, silver springs, alexandrio, etc... but I won't be at the inaug... mostly because i have to be in austin the morning of the 21st

9:14 am

ah, kje, TV watching here...

help with o words on left side? either they are weird or I am blind (morning all)

9:14 am

h**** simpson

9:15 am

9:15 am

no, left side, kje

9:15 am

or gee... I hit a hom**... right outta the ball park

9:15 am

oops - lol

9:15 am

i went to a private h.s. and the last year i went it was 3000$US I was wondering why tuition is not mentioned on their website... reading further it doesn't make anyone pay but just be ready to work for them. My mother paid the full tuition and they asked her to work also... well she was a widow at the time and she wrote a nasty letter to them in essence don't you dare ask me again... and they didn't.

9:15 am

od8 - mileage in a car

ty!

9:16 am

yw... sorry for the other om clues... i got carried away... too much caffeine this morning i think

9:16 am

Anyone have a clue for the second me 5/14 [the one after to sit together]

9:17 am

I thought the plural of de4 was de4

Clues for the biggies: they all end in the measuring device (and plural).

9:17 am

me5 - french curse worde

9:17 am

word

9:17 am

bichon, poop in french

9:17 am

sally - that kitty looks cold... is that snow

9:17 am

9:18 am

okay, should have know that one! Merci!

9:18 am

is it used the same in english?

9:18 am

MOre than one poop?

Yes, must revamp the picture so it doesn't distort.

9:18 am

no, oodle... not commonly

9:18 am

yes

9:18 am

or, maybe annie does... she can get away with those things at her age ; )

9:18 am

How do you revamp a picture so it doesn't distort?

9:19 am

that's what I thought I never heard it used

Well, I need to crop the original so that it is 200 x 200 px, which I didn't do initially. Have noticed everyone else has one that size.

9:19 am

kje, I can get anyway with EVERYTHING at my age

9:19 am

bichon, i do mine on my laptop before i upload

9:20 am

the 10 and 11 plz

9:20 am

we can test that theory, annie... think of all the fun we could have and havoc we could cause!

9:20 am

kje, you poop on your laptop?

9:20 am

au10 - measures hearing

9:20 am

kje, how do you do it?

9:20 am

9:58 am

***looks sternly back***

9:58 am

hmph. *sends smoke detector and rice cooker*

9:59 am

No owie. I was just due for a booster (so said evil needle-weilding Doctor). Plus, I had blood drawn for cholesterol test, etc. Exceeded my puncture for the day.

9:59 am

*puncture quota*

9:59 am

back. Alby just learned that the washing machine will hiss louldy if he tries to go behind it. LOL

9:59 am

Have a bandaid. Can I still have a lolly?

10:00 am

oh judi, sorry about the punctures. *offers stickers, lollipop and gift card to favorite store* BUT now it's done *happy look* and you are safe from lock-jaw!

10:00 am

no what I do is fry my rice before I boil it

10:00 am

*sends chef to oodles* tell her what to do and just babble...

10:00 am

Yes. I can dance on rusty nails with reckless abandon.

10:01 am

10:01 am

oh, judi, sorry to hear, hopefully no more needles fro a while.

10:01 am

oh! ricardo montalban is 88! LOL I thought that was part of my dream... (must have been Tom's alarm turning on)

10:01 am

10:01 am

Alabaster, the new cat....

10:01 am

Alabaster, my kitten who turned 3mos on the 24th

10:01 am

so I guess you-all are surviving, then, seain?

10:02 am

Needles don't really bother me, actually. Germs are certainly more frightening these days.

10:02 am

stiddy...(oodles is not a HER)

10:02 am

indeed so, stid :)

10:02 am

I hate two dee-eye words... are there more?

10:03 am

***giggles***

10:04 am

I generally decline gender anyway *points at purson for emphasis*

10:04 am

10:05 am

I am a fashionable grey... *grin* goes with anything!

10:05 am

i like grey myself

10:06 am

Grey wasn't an option when I went pro. Are there other colors available?

10:06 am

just found the 100cm 4-fer :)

10:07 am

I simply declined to choose gender, judi, it seemed to be reasonable since green and orange and purple *some of my favorite colors* weren't available

10:07 am

yes, that is a nice sequence, actually 7 along that theme

10:07 am

green, orange, purple and beige are the colours in our bedroom, stid :)

1:43 pm

(she's lurking, I just know it)

1:44 pm

Always a lurker, you know.

1:44 pm

This grid is scooting along, so far

1:45 pm

your mother wants to see photos of emma, by the way :P

1:45 pm

Does she? She never speaks to me, you know..only babblers. Btw, why is Stid a Canadian now??

Have adorable pics of Jake and Emma sharing some ice cream, went camera crazy.

1:46 pm

1:47 pm

Yay for visiting! I am still awating an NS babble conference. How are obbit and Sily, btw?

1:48 pm

Hobbit. Bah.

1:48 pm

Did someone yell for me?

1:48 pm

She rolled in something oily and stinky this morning. I had to buy some air freshener on the way home to spray liberally around the car before I expired of disgustingness

1:48 pm

FM :D

1:48 pm

((Uni))

1:49 pm

Evening Ata!!

1:49 pm

I knew you were around somewhere near :P

1:49 pm

lovely Hobbit, so sharing :)

1:50 pm

she got shoved in the sink as soon as we got home and Fairy Liquided half to death

1:50 pm

Aha! She came back..

1:50 pm

Oh, gross. Stinky Hobbits!

1:51 pm

Just happened to come into the office for something. Hi Uni, thought you had fainted with the shock of seeing me :)

1:51 pm

oh she was *foul*. but she had a lovely walk!

1:52 pm

Love your kitty pic Uni

1:52 pm

I am feeling a little woozy from the loveliness of your person, but am still conscious. Liquid fairy?

1:52 pm

she has the current KoG, I believe

1:52 pm

pull yourself together child :))

1:52 pm

Fairy is our main brand of washing-up liquid

1:53 pm

I see. I could handle that. Sounded suspiciously like hallucinogenics at first though..could explain the woozy

1:53 pm

is one of those things like calling vacuum cleaners Hoovers. all washing up liquid over here is fairy liquid!

1:53 pm

have you a little fairy in your home?

1:54 pm

How are you hun, it's been ages

1:54 pm

Vaccuums...Pah! I don't believe in such things.

1:54 pm

lol you get that from your Mom!

1:54 pm

I know, bad example!

1:55 pm

I've been well. Over-worked and under-paid, all that jazz. Went so long without babble, I *almost* forgot about it! Might be around for good again though

1:55 pm

I hope so. We missed you.

1:56 pm

Well it's great to see ya back! Hi Trif

1:56 pm

We need regular updates about the KoG

1:57 pm

Well, I need to put last year's Xmas prezzie to good use (thank you still, Ata). The KoG is chewing on the bottom of lappy as I type. Putting in her own two cents?

1:57 pm

She is georgous and a def CoG in training

1:57 pm

has she learned to walk across the lappy yet, to make words?

1:58 pm

She had that mastered ages ago, it seems. She gives kisses, did I say that? She kisses! C'est adorable!

1:59 pm

le cute!

1:59 pm

Lori has deigned to speak with me and now wonders if FM got her mail...

2:00 pm

Tell her yes with big hugs and I will reply but prob not till tomorrow

2:01 pm

wooohoo I just pre-ordered Dark Knight

2:01 pm

Shall! Oh, Dark Knight. Silly thing.

2:01 pm

LOL

2:02 pm

Thanks Uni :) and now I must love and leave you :(

2:02 pm

awwwww bye bye FM!

2:02 pm

HAve a good day Uni and a good evening Ata (())

2:03 pm

hey FM - were you on here this morning when I was moaning about thanksgiving? or maybe it was yesterday....

2:03 pm

um,sorry, trif, we just took over the chat log!

2:03 pm

okay. sorry for intruding

2:03 pm

*pops back* yes I was Trif

2:03 pm

I was

2:03 pm

just want you to know, he is NOT coming. I decided.

2:03 pm

lol no I mean *I'm* sorry!!

2:03 pm

good for you! Yay Trif!

2:04 pm

he can go to denny's with the rest of the "dads"

2:04 pm

Don't apologise Trif, there is always room for lots of chat

2:04 pm

Yay wtg girld!

2:04 pm

(I meant I'm sorry for taking over the chat log, in case you were wanting totalk about something else!)

2:04 pm

I'm confused...I always forget about the American thanksgiving. This Thursday, right? **Unmonopolizes chat**

2:04 pm

you guys totally rock. You were all so right. To hell with him, and here's to the year of ME

2:05 pm

Well done, may that be the first of many positive actions you take on your new road :)

2:05 pm

no idea. I'm still giggling about turkeys being Sarah Palin

2:05 pm

fireworks!

2:05 pm

If he wants to see the children I will happily deliver them later in the day, for desserts and whatever. I am not going to see him though

2:05 pm

It will hurt, Trif, but it'll hurt less than having him there

2:05 pm

yay ypsgirl!

2:06 pm

think so, Uni

2:06 pm

Congrats yps

2:06 pm

actually, I am amazingly at peace about it. I am afraid of him now --> everytime I see him, it's another bomb drop, another jab. Enough of that crap.

2:06 pm

Right I bid you all adieu again and see you tomorrow!

2:06 pm

Thanks Trif and all.... luck to you, with babble and the other things going on!

2:06 pm

Fire batons for Ypsi!!

2:07 pm

Yes. I know you have to be careful, but you don't have to play along with his games.

2:07 pm

fire batons! ooooh nice

2:08 pm

I just realized, I have no idea where this grid originates from - is it from England? Are there any Babble holidays where a grid doesn't get generated? do little elves make it or something?

2:08 pm

LOL. Dr_God makes it. He's in the US, but we get grids everyday. And you'd be surprised how many ppl come online to play on Christmas Day!

2:09 pm

Dr G is in the US, babble comes every day (except the rare days when it runs out) I think they are auto generated, but Dr G sets that in motion.

2:09 pm

id4,plz

2:09 pm

Last Christmas was a blast! Saw my extended family all day :)

2:09 pm

they are, he generates a big batch of grids in a go, and lets it run. Then tops the grids up every now and then

2:09 pm

Christmas here is always fab

2:10 pm

The id4 of March?

2:10 pm

oh, okay thanks. How do you know this stuff? is there "babble - a history" somewhere Hermione?

2:10 pm

I know it cos I remember the history :P

2:11 pm

Well, a few years of babble tends to learn you a thing or two ;)

2:11 pm

Hazelis the keeper of the laws and accordingly a *version* of history...maybe AngelSongs page has a history?

2:11 pm

ty, Uni....I don't know how that got past me.....I kept trying the left corner d's.

2:12 pm

Aeb, I rocked the top rows and the bottoms are eluding me for some reason..too much chat? :)

2:14 pm

*Fixes chat*

2:14 pm

I know ...I do better on the bottoms going up....maybe its because I'm bottom-heavy?

Hi for like 4 minutes! Trif! you went pro!

2:15 pm

woot - I wasn't really paying attention and ....FIREWORKS!

2:16 pm

hi monkey.

Yay!!!!!

2:18 pm

There's an 11-letter word in this tiny little grid? Crazy.

2:18 pm

brb

It's not so hard though.

The 11, I mean.

2:19 pm

Well that's good. I'm sure I'll find it once I get going.

I'm sure you will. If I found it without getting a clue I know YOU can...

OK, off with me again! Have ful, all!

hi all

ok, i dont get the Qu??? wat is that, never seen that b4

2:23 pm

qu4 - British money :) other qu4 - qu + not out.

2:24 pm

Hi everyone, how is the grid going for you all

no, uniquity, i dont get wat the tile means... is it just 2 letters put into one tile?

2:25 pm

Babble doesn't include the few words which use a q but not u, so the letters are placed together so you can never get stuck without a u when you need one. Just think of it as a necessary extension of the Q

k, thx uniquity!!! that helps a lot!

2:27 pm

I cleaned out my kitchen pantry today. (takes a bow) Oldest expiration date: March 2002

dont u all love the Colts! they rock! (if ur not into any NFl teams, i would strongly caution u to think about it b4 u do, it can ruin ur entire week when they lose)

3:13 pm

indianapolis!

3:14 pm

dammit atalante, when is he going to be over on my side of the atlantic?

that would be hilarious to see the looks on their faces, put a hidden cam somewhere and post it somewhere so i can see it

3:18 pm

probably not worth the effort ium. Good news, I have lots more space in the pantry and I actually KNOW what's there. Oh, other discover, 5, opened and partially used little bags of pine nuts, seem I buy them every time I want to use them and then just throw the leftover in the back of the pantry.

3:18 pm

A year and a half ago, I was working with a disabled older gentleman once in his house that he'd owned for decades before his disability... we cleaned out his kitchen, and I found an unopened bottle of heinz BBQ somethingorother... exp. in 1994

3:19 pm

No ium, it' s gone forever.

3:19 pm

I opened it.... it smelled EXACTLY like BBQ. Nothing, not even the consistence or the color, had changed.

3:19 pm

Here's to modern-day chemistry and preservatives, right?

Oh, some of that stuff has so much preservatives, it'll be around for centuries.

5:51 pm

Hi Feather

5:51 pm

Good for you to teach him signs, Feather! Signing is a great bridge to verbal skills!

5:52 pm

me'

5:52 pm

congrats, weed!!!

5:52 pm

me's arent' right let me try again

5:52 pm

I need 53--I was brain dead this AM.

5:52 pm

I taught my girls Sign when they were little...and we still use periodically even now!

5:52 pm

yeah, and these boys need it. i was worried about daniel until his verbal explosion at 2. nick's going the same route it seems, just says mama, dada, and a random "ba" that seems like it means something but i don't know what yet.

5:52 pm

thx phan

5:52 pm

god, scrabs, me too

5:53 pm

4,5, 4, 5, 6, 4, 5, 4, 5, 5, 6, 5, 5, 6, 6,

5:53 pm

ok, daniel's ready, gotta run!

5:53 pm

that should be right

5:53 pm

very little sleep for two days.

5:53 pm

I think that Sign Language should be taught to all as a universal way of communicating.

5:53 pm

I agree, Scrabs!

5:53 pm

got a little nappie in this aftie. now I'm seeing stuff I totally missed this am

5:53 pm

Me too, dale--I slept poorly for the last 2 nights

5:55 pm

5:55 pm

Do any of your meds contribute to poor sleep, dale?

6:00 pm

thanx pin i found it

6:00 pm

I monkeyed it...woot woot!

6:00 pm

I just made Brussels sprouts for the first time ever after reading about them. I sauteed them in butter---pretty good, but I don't LOVE them.

6:00 pm

cuz it's really french for sh4

6:00 pm

never had them, not sure i would like them

6:01 pm

really ?

6:01 pm

I was being polite

6:01 pm

yes, really

6:01 pm

wow !

6:01 pm

was that really on the brussels sprouts or french poo

6:01 pm

how many MO's?

6:01 pm

cuz they are quite different things lol

6:01 pm

( french )

6:01 pm

I read an article--said not to boil them because they get smelly with sulfur being released, but to saute them in oil.

bye

6:02 pm

Bye puru

bye

6:02 pm

brussel sprouts sulpha smell and poo .... hmmmm now there is a connection

6:02 pm

right, one should sautee them or blanch them or steam, but never boil. same for broccoli

6:02 pm

I am going to change into my pajamas (sweatshirt/pants).

6:03 pm

2 of my favorite vegetables!

6:03 pm

can you microwave them?

6:03 pm

why don't we throw in some sex, booze, and drugs, aknitter?

6:03 pm

no!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! never micro a veg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

6:03 pm

I love steamed broccoli, and asparagus.

6:03 pm

don't forget the rock and rolll lOL

6:04 pm

unless you want high school food

6:04 pm

tell us dale do you have strong anti microwave feelings?

6:04 pm

well, rock and roll goes without saying!!!

6:04 pm

ya think, AK? lol

6:05 pm

yes, for veg I do, aknitter. They're fine for popcorn and heating up canned chili

6:05 pm

quickly hides her microwave under a towel

6:05 pm

unless you burn the popcorn. then I get out my whips

6:06 pm

<-- tries to pass off that she doesn't own a microwave!

6:06 pm

they actually banned microing popcorn in some office bldgs because it smells so bad when burned

6:06 pm

zapped my winter squash tonight it was yummy

6:06 pm

We have one too, I just don't like putting delicate things in it

6:07 pm

I make minute rice in mine for chili...that ok?

6:07 pm

no i never put my delicates in it i always do them by hand LOL

6:07 pm

like babies, for instance (cue bad laughter)

6:07 pm

oh yeah, minute rice is cool

6:08 pm

but I wouldn't try cooking regular rice in it

6:08 pm

does it still take a minute to micro minute rice or is it quicker?

6:09 pm

it's quicker. everything is because microwaves are making the molecules in whatever you put in speed up really fast

6:09 pm

rice never takes a minute!

6:09 pm

now matter HOW you cook it...

6:09 pm

but ya gotta stir it half way through

6:10 pm

I don't stir the rice...but it usually take about 5 minutes to cook instead of the normal 15-20 mins...

6:10 pm

they got these microwave cake thingies, that take less than a minute. they taste really good

6:10 pm

(that's 5 mins for actual "Minute" rice)

6:11 pm

that's what the micro is for. convenience food

6:11 pm

I usually only use my MW to reheat...rarely to cook (except for chili)

6:11 pm

I don't think it was ever intended to COOK something in

6:11 pm

reem

6:11 pm

oops

6:11 pm

my advice is, get a crock pot

6:11 pm

No kidding, smiles...I have yet to successfully "cook" something in it (as it purports to do)...

6:12 pm

crock pots are good...bought a little one so I could start lunch when I got to the office in the morning and have it ready at noon. ;)

6:12 pm

PS: how many MO's?

6:13 pm

no way. microwaves move too fast. you end up burning or not browning whatever you put in. ever try bacon in it? bleeh

6:13 pm

love my crock pot use it all the time

6:13 pm

cooking in a MW turns everything rubbery (IMHO)

6:13 pm

3 mo's

6:13 pm

...and then it hardens too quickly.

6:14 pm

thx ak...need to find 1 more

6:14 pm

and bacon is limp and looks like it just came off the pig

6:14 pm

hockey puck eggs

6:14 pm

The Microwave Chef is back, with her jammies on.

6:15 pm

wb scrabs!

6:15 pm

watch though, now someone on "Top Chef" will cook a 9-course meal in one and I'll have egg on my face

6:15 pm

I'd be hard pressed to eat it, tho, smiles!

6:16 pm

I want food to be ready to eat as quickly and easily as possible.

6:16 pm

me too. some of the stuff they make them do...I would not eat it

6:16 pm

egg allergy here i shall pass on the offer

6:17 pm

they kicked someone off because she couldn't peel an apple fast enough

6:17 pm

well, fifteen apples

6:17 pm

oy - I'll try and time myself...I picked up apples today to make apple crisp

6:18 pm

I have to peel and cut 6 biggies

6:18 pm

I just shopped for Thanksgiving and Wegmans was packed and people were crazy. I bought tons of veggies for roasted veggies, potatoes, corn, pies....it will be yummy but simple stuff.

6:18 pm

poor thing, she didn't even get to see the top chef kitchen.

6:18 pm

I'm gonna make some pies probably tomorrow

6:18 pm

sounds yummy, scrabs; that sucks, smiles

6:19 pm

39 to go--the list is quite helpful.

6:19 pm

sounds good scrabs having a crowd?

6:19 pm

yeah, pini--they are out for blood this season

6:19 pm

My sister and her 3 adolescent boys.

6:19 pm

LOL they will eat you out of house and home those boys

6:20 pm

I'm going over to a friend's house whose mom and he do all the cooking

6:20 pm

I wish...

6:20 pm

Mostly with the mashed potatoes and the pies.

6:20 pm

I am having trouble with the dr5s--help please?

6:20 pm

well, when I was married, I cooked thanksgiving all by myself

6:21 pm

so it's payback time!!! No, I really appreciate it

6:21 pm

If my internet will stay connected long enough to allow it, I am back to finish!

6:21 pm

I found a little Butterball today...$0.22/lb...I think it cost me about $4. ;)

6:21 pm

my dad likes to cook so we all let him!

6:21 pm

hi uni

6:21 pm

well, if nobody liked to cook at my house, we'd starve. 2 men

6:21 pm

Hi Uniquity--home for Thanksgiving?

6:22 pm

Good deal, Pini.

6:22 pm

Hey Pini, Scrab et al. No Thanksgiving, Canada had it over a month ago. I am just back to being a babbling fool :)

6:22 pm

dale is really good. I usually make the desserts

6:22 pm

not a big turkey fan i like it cold the next day

6:23 pm

well, that was a good dinner

6:23 pm

I like the gravy partof Thanksgiving the best..and the soup/stew/poutine with turkey

6:23 pm

How is the semester going, Uni?

6:23 pm

I always say that the best dinner is a dinner you don't have to cook; My daughter cooked it tonight

6:23 pm

I do think I am going to MICROWAVE some canned chili for dinner, now. hungry back later. thanks for the great company!!!!

6:23 pm

6:30 pm

and you have your nephews scrab?

6:30 pm

i have a cat yowling to get out feather, want to trade?

6:31 pm

My nephew, Peter, has been here since Sunday evening. My sister and 1 or 2 of her other sons will come down, maybe my parents too.

anyone need clues???

6:31 pm

oh nice. where do your parents live?

6:32 pm

not yet, iuman...but congrats on your first finish!

6:32 pm

lol dorens

6:32 pm

My parents and sister live 45 minutes north of me, but my parents may not want to travel.

6:32 pm

123--today was your first experience of fireworks?

thx pini!

6:33 pm

SE 4 4 ... what's missing?

6:33 pm

how's mary's family going to be for thanksgiving?

6:33 pm

se4/5, se4/4 x 2

6:33 pm

3 se 4's

6:33 pm

odd way for me to phrase that. just thinking of them and wondering what they'll be doing.

6:34 pm

but feather i think we knew what you meant.

se4/4 are homophones, spelled differently, one is a person who can "see beyone" in the Harry Potter series

6:34 pm

Rick and the kids flew to DisneyWorld on Saturday, for a 1 wk vacation. His parents and his brother (with wife and 2 kids) also went down.

6:34 pm

got that one, iuman

and the other has the same letters, but arranged differently (switch the last 2)

6:34 pm

that sounds like an excellent plan scrabs. glad they'll be busy down there.

6:35 pm

got the other se4...is there an se5?

6:35 pm

sounds like a good idea scrab. disneyworld is so different and you would hardly even miss thanksgiving when there

6:35 pm

I'm missing a V...

6:35 pm

hi lady

which one??

6:35 pm

2 4's and 1 5

6:35 pm

vi + **utschland **utschland uber alles

6:35 pm

I have a vi4/8 and a vi4/7

6:35 pm

The kids are so excited. Rick set this up the week after Mary died, so that the kids had something to look forward too. they are in a large home, with a pool, minutes away from DisneyWorld. Their 12 yr anniversary is 11/29--it will be a tough week--1st Thanksgiving and anniversary without her.

6:36 pm

something about disneyworld gets people into another dimension, another world

6:36 pm

past tense Lady

6:36 pm

Nope, se4/5, no se5

6:36 pm

smart man.

6:36 pm

no se5?

6:36 pm

ah.... ty, phand

6:36 pm

no 3 se 4's

6:36 pm

I'm still missing an S...have se4.5, 4.4, 4.4

6:37 pm

He is a great planner, very pragmatic, and fully focused on his kids.

6:37 pm

si4/5 is what you need

6:37 pm

SI 4/5

6:37 pm

ok, going to dive into the grid now, let's see how long this takes.

it only took me.... 3 hrs...

6:38 pm

9 to go, all re's----blahhh

6:38 pm

you, won't take long at all, feather. us mere mortals, another story

6:38 pm

heh

6:38 pm

But you did it, 123. And some grids are easier, some are quite tough, some are small, some are huge---a 599 a few weeks ago!

6:39 pm

the RE's are easy

6:39 pm

that 599 was the biggest I've ever seen... It was totally discouraging.

6:39 pm

small push on the SI plz?

6:39 pm

my monkeys are on strike and the squirtmunks aren't helping...

6:39 pm

For who, ph?

6:39 pm

si 4/5

6:39 pm

my left or right si?

6:39 pm

Let's go outsi** and go for a walk.

6:39 pm

OMGoodness.... got it

6:42 pm

oh there would be a 5/14 between those

6:42 pm

6:42 pm

All done...not bad at all with the list.

6:43 pm

7:56 pm

I think that's exactly what you're supposed to do :D glad you're being good

7:57 pm

7:57 pm

glad you're healing, ruru. rest does wonders for that.

LOL - you're so right

7:58 pm

7:59 pm

i'll be eating at a restaurant with crappy wine, so none for me this year.

8:01 pm

you may have to pay corkage, but you can usually take it in

well, ruru, even before I had to start taking the pain meds, I would at most have half a glass of wine. I was raised "teetotal" - drank when young, but got where it didn't agree with me very well

8:01 pm

8:01 pm

B-more

oh, I see. that makes perfect sense then, dc

hey, kje

8:01 pm

11:14 pm

Hello jillibus! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid

11:14 pm

11:15 pm

Hello, Minver- this is like old home wek!

11:15 pm

11:15 pm

Hi Jilli. Is Lexulous working again yet?

11:15 pm

Oh, Minver -- sorry! I see you did too! Great choice!

11:16 pm

11:16 pm

Jac, not that I know of -- I think when it is, we'll get an email saying so.

11:16 pm

Platform 13 and a half. But, you're right, I didn't look at the theme for today.

11:17 pm

Hello jaianniah! How are you doing?It has been awhile

11:17 pm

Oh, you too, harp!!! You're not invisibile, I just didn't see anyone last night and wasn't on today :)

11:17 pm

My icon is in memory of my cat, Lucy, who just died...sorry about that

11:17 pm

Harp - the po8 doesn't build off the 7.

11:17 pm

OMG Jaianniah

11:17 pm

I just love the Little Engine That Could!I think I can, I think I can,I think I can. Sends out a great message

11:17 pm

11:17 pm

11:18 pm

I am doing fine, Minver! And you?

11:18 pm

Yes We Can, Min!

11:18 pm

jai - do't say sorry for your icon. It's perfectly understandable.

11:19 pm

So sorry to hear about your cat jaianniah.I hope she lived a long happy life jaianniah. I used to have cats.

11:19 pm

Lucy was born blind, yet she retrieved socks!!! She was a very special cat and is truly missed....

11:19 pm

Jai -- I very much understand. I still mourn my dear departed Susie, who died in May at nearly 19.

11:19 pm

oh jai, how very special.

11:20 pm

Harp - po8 + pea case + vowel + word for 'not very muchly' or even a watery place in UK.

11:20 pm

Off to change icon to childhood game board I played.

11:20 pm

Her sister is still crying for her and it is breaking my heart...

11:21 pm

Jai - that IS hard to take. xx

11:21 pm

I'm just reading a book called "Dewey", about a "library cat" who was dumped into a book drop as a kitten

11:21 pm

TYVM XXOOO to all

11:21 pm

Jaianniah, that must be difficult beyond belief... wow

11:22 pm

Jillibus, I think I've read that (but it's been a while) it sounds so familiar

11:22 pm

It is, it is.

11:22 pm

icon updated...

11:22 pm

so i assume that once i find the "not muchly" word i'll find the po8?

11:22 pm

I wish I could pick up Lucy's sister and cuddle her, poor dear

11:22 pm

Jilli - your should read Doreen Tovey's books about her Siamese cats.

11:23 pm

It's a new book, blue, but the story is not.

11:23 pm

You've got the French swear word and plural, I guess, Harp?

11:31 pm

BAH i'm a dork... i JUST got that I word at the bottm..... hahaha it's the simple ones that are stumpers, I guess :-)

11:31 pm

11:37 pm

11:38 pm

11:38 pm

Nef - I unerstand completely. See you again soon.

11:38 pm

goodnight Nef, sleep well

11:39 pm

I don't know if mine may be considered a "board game" more of a "I'm bored, game", closest thing to war I'll ever get a hold of....

11:39 pm

Is it woW, Pav?

11:40 pm

Pav, my kids played Battleships

11:40 pm

well, we did have War back then as well, but we had to play quietly cause mom would make us put it away....no room for violence in our childhood...

over at sudoku

11:41 pm

now I see they've digitized Battleship...loses its fun...

11:42 pm

pav is that tablespoons ? in recipe for the butter ?

11:42 pm

For my own offline games, I like Pengapop, Shrunken Heads, Wordo, and Flipmix.

11:42 pm

Icon changed. Please refresh.

11:42 pm

i play world of warcraft but it is online, does that count ?

Sorry for what Jac?

11:43 pm

The theme is Childhood BOARD games :)

11:43 pm

TBSP (caps) = tablespoon...tspn (small) = teaspoon...

11:44 pm

Rlee - these days, I guess it does, Butonly if you talk about it to the rest of your family.

11:44 pm

Herin - erm, dunno.

11:45 pm

Should I reiterate -- CHILDHOOD BOARD games!

I dont have a board game as i was an only child and much preferred puzzles and cards

11:45 pm

Not games you like now, not online games.

11:46 pm

I was an olny child too, herin

11:46 pm

or else we'd all have pics of babble : )

11:46 pm

I'll get to by fave boardgames after I've had 8 hors' sleep. Scrabble is the first, btw.

11:46 pm

Cribbage counts, doesn't it? It has a "board"!

11:46 pm

bum. i was to busy catching tadpoles and fish to be inside playing games, my mum said i should have been a boy when i was younger

11:46 pm

did you play cribbage as a child, pini?

11:46 pm

i did pini

11:47 pm

Pav, i know about the caps thing, was just checking as it seemed like alot of butter

I didn';t like board games they board me. I did like boggle

11:47 pm

I did...very much so! Learned when I was about 8-9 years old...

11:47 pm

I didn't know if people use sticks of butter as I do or tubs...margarine runs moreso than butter so that's all I buy. I just finished two pumpkin-variations cheesecakes for the holiday coming...I actually tried the ready made roll out pie dough...quick and painless...won't know what it tastes like though until I make and taste my apple pie tomorrow night...

11:47 pm

My uncle used to call Monopoly Monotony

11:47 pm

...my grandfather was a master machinest for the Northern Pacific and made many a milled board. =)

11:47 pm

by the way herin loved the pikelets so did the other girls at work, took them for morning tea today

11:47 pm

Ludo, Skudo, Snakes & Ladders, Haaapy Families (card game), more card games.

11:48 pm

no we don't use sticks in australia

Rlee that is great. I do have a hedgehog slice on my facebook page too

11:48 pm

I'm still trying to work out what the hell 'a stick' of margarine is!

11:48 pm

will have to look at it and make on the weekend

Stick of marg is about hang on let me thing

11:49 pm

I'm also going to bed now, so 'bye 'bye' all. x

11:49 pm

oh yes, Jac, I remember Ludo, Snakes & Ladders (a board with mottoes -- the longest Snake was "pride goeth before a fall")

11:49 pm

the amounts are for the larger 9x13 sheet pans, cut in half for traditional 8 x 8 square pans...

11:49 pm

stick of butter is 1/4 pound or 1/2 cup

11:49 pm

a stick of butter is approximately 8 Tblspn...isn't it?

11:49 pm

yes... 8 tbsp

113g

11:49 pm

a stick of butter is a quarter of a pound

Yes it is pin

11:50 pm

'Night all.xxx

11:50 pm

Night jac, sleep well and coolly :)

11:50 pm

...and if you watch Paula Deen here in the States on the Food CHannel, more butter is much better!

I just found this: http://tinyurl.com/56toqc

11:51 pm

Jilli...does Battleship count as a board game? I could switch to Risk....

11:51 pm

good for you, herin!

11:52 pm

dunno, Pav -- never played Battleship, but your icon looks okay :)

I just found that url on butter stuff

11:52 pm

11:54 pm

11:54 pm

hi all...not the bikini atoll jilli i hope lol

11:54 pm

Battleship: two players each with a "folding game board" in a grid pattern try to find where the other has hidden their ships....call out grid points and put little red "markers" where the opponent has called a point on your grid...can also be afixed to the ships to demonstrate they've "sunk your battleship".

11:55 pm

hi dart

11:56 pm

hi dart!, Kje!

11:56 pm

no, dart! If you have Sprite in your "My Friends" and scroll down you will get her story :)

11:56 pm

11:56 pm

Pav, that sounds boardy :)

11:57 pm

just joking...blast.. island .. girlfriends.....bikini atoll is where they tested the first a-bomb
