12:44 am

jai, try something you wear on your feet

12:44 am

are your socks pulled up to your ears?? LOL

12:44 am

as a matter of fact I do!

12:44 am

please, no clues before the first hour is up!

12:44 am

LOL! what imagery I fear!!

12:45 am

Pav darling, close the chat if you don't want to see the cluing... or divert your eyes!

12:45 am

and jaianniah to the PB...no words in the chat log...! we'll have to banish the violators....

12:46 am

only 14 mins left....

12:46 am

but PAV! it is happy hour here!! I am allowed clues!

12:47 am

Since when was that rule made up???? We used to clue right from the start long ago!!!!

12:47 am

Isn't that right, MrP?

12:47 am

jai, it is not a rule hun...

12:47 am

before you were born Jaianniah...some elders have become lax in their poor eyesight...

12:48 am

mrpres, you have such a nice way with words.

12:48 am

I know it is not and if people do not want clues, they can just avoid the chat, right?

12:49 am

yes jai, that is true!

12:49 am

hi jeewhiz! long time no see!

12:49 am

or you can avoid playhing unti lthe first hour is up? much better idea

12:49 am

jai, you're just lucky that people are being so polite. I've been called names for cluing when people didn't want me too. I don't have any idea why this is important to some.

12:50 am

True...mrpres...I am happy to see you so healthy now. I cannot imagine your ordeal. Please tell Lickety that he is sooo appreciated on here as well.

12:50 am

I know! Been going to college and going thru a divorce...hard times...hit me hard....death of my father, Katrina...it's been a tough time for me

12:52 am

some people are more "rule" bound than others, but we are all just like family. Play nice and have fun!

12:52 am

Yes...and my computer crashed and I lost my Beta version of Babble!!! A REAL CRISIS!!!!

12:53 am

Hang in there Jai....it has to get better, right?

night flosey

1:02 am

night flosey -- well done as usual

and then we have to put up xmas lights... it is a law on this street.

1:02 am

Mrp, got your IM sorted out yet?

if you buy or rent a home on this street, it is in the agreement that you put lights up... and lots of them!

1:04 am

if I ever make it over there during the Holidays ...I'll have to find your street and check it out

chic, I do have it sorted! got it done on the weekend.... next will be skype.

hey mrp! so glad to see you are doing well! luv the photo of you and your gorgeous kidlets.

dart, you can find it on google earth images... look it up a week before xmas, the lights are amazing.

thanks melon!

1:05 am

hi melon

mrp, we have a street in my nearest town that does that. People put up huge, elaborate displays, and people drive from miles around to come see them

chic, will go cook some dinner for the starving ones, and log on ok?

and dart, you better come visit! we have plenty of room for guests now!

1:05 am

whew. fireworks

sam, it is like that here! the traffic goes on until midnight!

1:06 am

I'll be around for the next hour...

yay freep!!

I gotta ask, for the people who have fireworks already--have you gone to the lists? Are you using software to help? Or are you just that much *better* than I am?

1:06 am

that part of the world is definately on my list for one of these years when work doesn't get in the way....soooon :)

1:07 am

congrats freep

1:07 am

Samantha -- I have hacked dart's computer and just siphon off his words :-)

1:07 am

lol justa

There's a guy who does an exploding volcano that shoots Santa up out of his chimney. It's a hoot to watch.

LMAO freep

hi, jilli, luv the icon. now i shall icon shopping - brb

what is really bad though, is everyone in the area knows that this road does the xmas, easter and halloween stuff... so they come from miles away, drop their kids at the top of the road at halloween, and the kids trick or treat all the houses. That is just plain rude!

bbs babblers... chat soon chic on IM

1:08 am

YAY freep (late)

There's one house where you can leave donations--you can *see* the electric meter spinning round and round at terrifying speeds!! And oh, no--I wouldn't play the halloween game. That *is* just awfully rude.

1:09 am

mrp, there's an area here which gets all the halloweenies -- because other areas are too widespread and unlit at night

hi and bah hunmbug

hi kiw!

Thanks, Lill!

2:43 am

im doing really well - signed the separation agreement and mortgage papers yesterday

2:43 am

and ive met a man

2:43 am

yw mg

OK! Oooh, tell!

And there are those last 2 q's! Thanks again.

2:44 am

his name is Paul hes 5 months younger than me works for customs but lives 8 hour drive from me and hes my ex's ex best mate = go figure

Go figure indeed... He must be a nice guy or you woulnd't like him, so, umm, what to ask.... are you having FUN?

2:46 am

that's great Groovy :-)

2:47 am

Here is the kicker: his marriage broke up august last year and he moved from wellington and it comes to past that the reason his marriage broke up and he left town was that he had feelings for me strong enough to get out of a situation he didnt think i needed to deal with at the time

2:47 am

yay yay groovy!

2:47 am

and when he heard in sept this year that my marriage had broken up he had been trying to pick up the courage to contact me and he did a couple of weeks ago

Oh wow! That's really interesting. What a thing! Glad he finally said something to you!

2:48 am

so i spent a couple of weeks in his company while he was down here on undercover ops and we are going to see if we can make this happen lol

Just take it nice and easy, and good luck, what a great story!

2:49 am

oh def small steps

2:49 am

but it was like OMG i was so not ready for even thinking about anything long term or permanent - i was happy just having fun with my lawyer friend

I understand. What a bombshell!

2:50 am

my exact words was that i got knocked for a six - which kiwis and aussies will understand but not many others lol

boo

2:51 am

herin!!!!!!!! hugs

Well, ummm, I can see what it means but the etymology is lost on me...

Hi Herin!

2:51 am

hey! we can hit sixes every now and then too!!

2:51 am

phtttttttttt ata im sorry i forgot you were here you were so quiet lol

2:52 am

knocked for a six is a cricketing term

2:52 am

loooooool :P

Aha!

2:52 am

sorry, trying to babble and finish something I really really need to finish quickly!

2:52 am

im thinking i probably shouldnt have started the grid considering i should be going to bed in half hour lol

I should stop soon seeing as to how I have to clean up the house and walk the dog before getting Walter at 12:15, but so it goes, eh?

2:53 am

i hate the time differences at the moment

Hey, there's that weird magpie again... he lands on the upper window ledge with his tail splayed across teh window, then leaves after a minute.

2:54 am

I think we are getting short shrift from Ata because of Mr B

Yeah, I hear you-- calling my grandfather is always an adventure. His awake and not eating times don't correspond well with my awake and not feeding the family times...

excuse my rude internet

Knocked for a 6 is bowled over

2:55 am

and hobbit pesting at me every few seconds!

Figured. We say knocked for a loop, but I'm not entirely sure why.

2:56 am

lost my post as Crumble stood on the lap top, gist was I'm happy for Groovy and although we are rubbish we do play cricket

2:57 am

anyway im glad i bumped into those i havent seen for a while to catch you up on gossip lol

Indeed!

4:45 am

GM All

4:45 am

4:46 am

G'd morning hodag

4:46 am

4:46 am

4:47 am

Came to a screeching halt at 25....... The Babble brakes are working well.

4:47 am

Life is good hodag. Has it warmed up for you yet?

4:49 am

very good. The weather stinks. W got 8in. of very wet snow yesterday and the temp. now is 30 fh.

4:49 am

Yuk. My condolences.

4:50 am

phantoms: cinnamon and anemone

4:50 am

TY How is it by you?

4:50 am

I keep trying lithe.

4:51 am

We had a huge disgusting snowstorm on the weekend, but it's raining it away now. I'm good with that. :)

4:52 am

I love this. Yesterday evening I was panicking all day about not having enough to do a pic by tomorrow, and here am I happily playing babble *sigh*

4:53 am

We're suppose to get anther storm this week-end oh well it just gives us spring to look forward to. LOL

4:55 am

Babble is not exactly connected to real life productivity..... :p

4:56 am

Okay, 23 left and spawnling time. BBL

4:56 am

noooooo and I need to start work now! *looks at the grid*

4:56 am

Good morning. Hey chickie-one of the kittens in your icon is a mini-Merp

4:56 am

what is the link to unreal life productivity?

4:57 am

about the same I think

4:59 am

Hi Eva, how sweet.I just love that picture. Zoe is also black&white short hair. I just got a beautiful Hemalayn he is 8 yrs old owner couldn't keep any more. He ia beautiful!

5:01 am

I have to laugh Eva,mini-Merp sounds like a new car:-) lol

5:01 am

the facial marking look identical.I wish we could have a whole pride of cats (can us use pride for domestic cats?)

5:01 am

definitely

5:02 am

it would be great if English was my first language(-{

5:03 am

Typing fingers not fully awake

5:03 am

A home is not a home with out the love of a kitty! My little dog Abby is a joy also!

5:03 am

hmmm. Hobbit has just got *under* the throw on my sofa and gone to sleep

5:06 am

don' you love it.:-) BC is watching me,Zoe is playing with a toy mouse and Abby is sleeping on her affagan i the recliner,life is tuff......:>)

5:07 am

my fringers are still sleeping also

5:07 am

watching humans must be endlessly baffling and entertaining-watching them pee seems especially fascinating

5:08 am

i know what you mean lol

5:10 am

I can't go to the loo without been WAtched by one or other of the furbrats

5:12 am

sometimes I have the bizarre desire for some privacy and close the door and you would think that Merp was being drawn on the rack from the ruckus he sets up trying to break the door down.

5:12 am

omg same with Silverclaw. especially if I have a *shower* without her present

5:13 am

It's also very unnerving to get up in the middle of the night to pee, in the dark, half conscious, and not be sure if your toes are going to get nibbled on while seated. Not a relaxing experience.

5:13 am

I know there is always one by my feet,one in the counter and oneai the door-way. They truely don't like to be shut out :-)

5:14 am

Merp will be in seventh heaven tomorrow with all the company. The more attention the better, and the more toes to nibble the better....he seems to have a foot fettish

5:16 am

I'm going to my daughters so my "fur faces" can have the house to them selfs.

5:16 am

will you bring them back some turkey with fixings?

5:17 am

if I want them to let me in I better.....:-)

5:22 am

grrr I hate Ls

5:22 am

what is ls?

5:23 am

words beginning with L

5:23 am

19 of them are OK Ata ;)

5:23 am

L's are nice

5:24 am

Hi Eva, Chickie & FM. Ata should you be here?

5:24 am

Hi Lynxxx, chickie, Eva (and Merp) and Ata!

5:24 am

5:29 am

who is oscar?

5:29 am

... oh dear I bet Liz was imporessed!

5:29 am

!!

5:30 am

Lizsark's labrador that eats everything including the furniture

5:30 am

5:30 am

apparently not!

5:31 am

he's got a cast iron stomach

5:31 am

FM, I'm going to a JOhn B signing tomorrow *smug*

5:31 am

had an Irish setter like that once. Ate brillo pads, boots, printers ink in the tubes, climbed up on the pantry shelves. One of the dimmest and most neurotic creatures I ever knew!

5:32 am

Oscar also has a death wish

5:32 am

G'd morning again Babblers!

5:32 am

loool Ata you will be more excited than a child waiting to see Father Christmas!

5:32 am

hello Lori!

5:32 am

Hey Loriiiiii!

5:33 am

Missing 1 stoopid l. Ack

5:33 am

Where is he signing Ata?

5:33 am

***whaps FM with soft furry bunny slippers***

5:34 am

Who's signing Ata? Ink or tattoo?

5:34 am

*looks at Lori with suspicion*

5:34 am

***acts suspicious to warrant 'the look'***

5:35 am

I think Ata has swooned thinking of JB

HI. Eva. My parents and I owned a Irish Setter when i was a kid, used to pinch the neighbours bread and run through their pond and climb mountains

ok, right back to a long one...

5:36 am

I don't know if it's the inbreeding,but I would never have an Irish setter again.

5:36 am

phone .. sigh

She was a lovely dog just dumb as a brick

5:36 am

Okay-total ignoranamus that I am-who is JB?

5:36 am

mouse! there's a mouse!

5:36 am

am chasing it with sily

Get silly onto it

5:37 am

Go Silverclaw!

5:37 am

morning all!!

5:37 am

heh, l's done.

PINK monster

5:37 am

I got the little bugger but it escaped. mice are tricksy

5:38 am

Pink! Long time no see.

5:38 am

morning pink

5:38 am

HiHi Pink!

back in a tic

5:39 am

Hello Lori, Eva, Lynxx, Ata and Herin...how are you all?

5:39 am

Life is good, for you too I hope. :)

5:39 am

gah! he's vanished

5:39 am

good, although having a hard time adjusting to the sudden winter

5:39 am

yes everything is good with me lori

5:39 am

Mices are sneaky. He'll be back.

5:40 am

i've missed babbling

5:40 am

sily's still sniffing around

5:40 am

don't think she has a very good killing instinct though!

5:42 am

she just watches the mouse with biiig eyes

5:42 am

Our inside 2 cats are useless hunters, except for stalking the laser pointer

5:43 am

merp is a killing machine.

5:43 am

sily's good at spiders, but apparently that is it

5:43 am

it's a lovely little mouse though

5:43 am

But only for mice and flies. useless with spiders and moths

5:44 am

I like the mice. They are beautiful and as they don't get into the food, quite harmless.

5:44 am

me too. I don't really want Sily to get this mouse! But I would like him to go back out in the field where he belongs

5:44 am

Doh, got the last i.

5:45 am

They don't want to be out in the field when it's cold....your house is a much nicer place.

5:45 am

I know. they can stay all they want, but I don't like the poo!

5:46 am

* Did you hear about the girl who skipped rope while she read?

5:46 am

* She jumped to conclusions.

5:46 am

G'd morning BR.....

5:46 am

I think I'll put some new peanut butter in our humane trap and leave it around somewhere close

5:47 am

Had a miraculous find yesterday morning. When I came back from my walk I saw a strange shape in the snow, and thought "it can't be!", but it was - I beautiful, 4 inch long spotted salamander. I called the nature center and they advised me to put him in a nest of leaves by the edge of the woods, which I did, and s/he scurried right under them. Hopefully in the spring there will be baby spotted salamanders.

5:47 am

hi BabRab

5:47 am

Ata try baiting it with chocolate, works every time!!

5:49 am

Any clues please for te 7/28

5:53 am

5:53 am

Personally id be able to sniff it out......

5:53 am

he brought 2 bars home the other day - he gets free choc at work if he works after 8:30pm. He did give me one, and yesterday evening looked really smug and told me there was another bar "hidden somewhere"

5:54 am

spanner, the chocolate or the socks? :D

5:54 am

With my hubby probably both..

5:54 am

: D

5:54 am

me: oh you suck

5:55 am

Missing an h, moving on from that annoyance.

5:56 am

now he'll *have* to tell me where the chocolate is *smug*

5:56 am

blackmail is a 2 way street.

5:57 am

but very sweet when it works!!!

5:57 am

he should know by now that I don't play these "oh darling, please tell me where the choc is, please , please!" games

5:57 am

where is the chocolate?

5:57 am

Yup, gotta' play hardball Ata.

5:58 am

no idea, carlee

5:58 am

Bet the mouse has found it...

5:59 am

i SO need chocolate this am

5:59 am

8:02 am

I'm sure there are pretty ones in vietnam too, oodle... will look for one just for you

8:02 am

Annie, the Bangkok airport got shut down yesterday

8:02 am

:-D

8:02 am

Sominex for the natives

8:02 am

rabble thanks but what is so be it????????i dont see "is" in the grid and that is what i would assume so be it would be.

8:02 am

eva, LI 8 and 9 are: a straight li** + what you say after a prayer + cross letter, then plural

8:03 am

li add male? that also is confusing.

8:03 am

I must must watch the news today and read a newspaper..was taking a break from the havoc in the world

8:03 am

mkg, what is the prayer ending?

8:03 am

am4 + so be it

8:03 am

think biblical mkg

8:03 am

br does great clues mkg,just some are a little convoluted:)

8:03 am

am4 = so be it

8:03 am

thanks! -- thats 9 and 10, BTW :)

8:03 am

mkg, so be it...end of a prayer

8:03 am

right, 9 and 10, sorry

8:03 am

what's the Y?

8:03 am

Airport director Serirat Prasutanont said authorities were trying to negotiate with the protesters to allow some of the 4,000 passengers stranded at the Bangkok airport to fly out.

8:04 am

sorry dont have am either...........and wouldnt you use the m for male?

8:04 am

world is going to hell in a handbasket

8:04 am

oodle... just for you... http://images.google.com/images?client =safari&rls=en&q=vietnam%20waterfall&i e=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&um=1&sa=N&tab=wi

8:04 am

but BR said male and so be it, but that was two clues for the same syllable, and left out the straight **** part

8:04 am

well actually the hebrew word means "ditto for me". it is your way of agreeing with what came before it.

8:05 am

y + snake fish and what you toe

8:05 am

Li9-10 combo: straight Li** + prayer ending + cross make plural for the 10.

8:05 am

it means 'so be it'...

8:05 am

ty brabble

8:05 am

kje, leave Thailand pronto..come home, Thanksgiving tomorrow and bring some street food home

8:06 am

BR, i'm trying your Y clue and it doesn't work. how many letters is it?

8:06 am

ty got it eva. and the plural.

8:06 am

saying 'so be it' is your way of agreeing with what came before.

8:06 am

omg ty kje... never thought of looking in images...duh

8:06 am

sheeeesh

8:06 am

and got the am words, 3 of them.

8:06 am

I will simple stop

8:07 am

street food does not travel well, annie... but am about to cross over to vietnam

8:07 am

br - please don't stop! most of my words came from you!

8:07 am

BR...dont you dare stop...your clues keep me laughing and give me words too

8:07 am

can someone tell me how many letters the Y word has?

8:07 am

6

8:07 am

6

8:08 am

rabble, dont stop! if not for you i wouldnt have gotten it!

8:08 am

tx annie and hursh

8:08 am

so be it. must remember that.

8:08 am

rabble, sometimes it is the combination of both clues that gets it into my brain.

8:16 am

8:16 am

ty. never heard that one before.

8:16 am

the english grammer is much more easy that french... in french there are too many exceptions like the pronunciation in english

8:16 am

new one for me too, mkg

8:16 am

ehes

8:16 am

such a good clue we keep stealing it:))

8:16 am

oops sorry.

8:16 am

Ok, forgot about Italian. French and Italian are co-most beautiful languages

8:17 am

I know a great joke about languages: A group of Europeans get in an argument about whose language is the most beautiful. The Frenchman says it's French, because the word for butterfly in French is "pappillon" which is a beautiful word. The Portugese man says his is the most beautiful, as butterfly is "bobolette" and isn't that the most lovely? and the Italian says, no, it's Italian, because Butterfly in Italian is "farfalle" which is lovely....at this point the German BANGS his fist on the table, stands up and yells - what are you saying? there is something wrong with schmetterlink? (sure all my spelling is wrong, but it's still a great joke.....)

8:18 am

loooooool

8:18 am

i love the german way of taking ordinary words and turning them into 20 letter nightmares:)

8:18 am

papillon :P

8:18 am

I find it difficult to judge whether my own native language [English] is beautiful. I don't know how it sounds to others

8:19 am

reading german is easy,just lop off the last ten letters or so of most words

8:19 am

i hate german. it sounds so harsh. so harsh.

8:19 am

but sometimes the long words can sound beautiful. Gluwürmchen for example

8:19 am

german word for brassiere: disselstoppemfloppen

8:19 am

Learning German is a nightmare. My hubby i German [but came to the US at a young age]. He still has trouble with Die, Der, Das

8:19 am

there is a german word for machinist..that is insane

8:19 am

really? german is meant to be very easy to learn for english speakers

8:19 am

I am inordinately fond of the Swedish word for foam rubber: skumgummen

8:20 am

lol floppen..will help one remember that one

8:20 am

stoppemfloppin lol

8:20 am

that is FAB, trif

8:21 am

I always like the Swedish / Danish sea channels - Skaggarat and Kattagat

8:21 am

the things you learn on this list

8:21 am

bichon you were born in germany??

8:21 am

I speak it but I am not fluent

8:22 am

i know just enough german to get my face slapped in a bar

8:22 am

the gender declentions are learned just from memorizing it and saying it over and over

8:22 am

I actually love German, but I find it a nightmare to listen to, when spoken quickly

8:23 am

mm also know just enough french to get my face slapped...

8:23 am

No, my hubby was. Foolishly, his mom stopped speaking German to him when he was 3. But, he studied it in school. I'm from a different foreign country, Brooklyn

8:23 am

ah my mother was born there.. she lived on cranberry street

8:24 am

ahh brooklyn.."he haaad a hat ataack in his caaa

8:24 am

jk

8:24 am

In Brooklyn? Never hoid of it <gg>

8:24 am

8:24 am

Crossy, that's Boston

8:24 am

that's boston, crossy

8:25 am

ahh ok annie..get it mixed up

8:25 am

is it Brooklyn that sounds very Jewish? (to my uneducated ear)

8:25 am

he had a hawt attack in the caw is more like it right bichon?

8:25 am

i love the jewish language cadence:)

8:26 am

all you do is answer a question with a question;:)

8:26 am

so do I

8:26 am

(((((berry)))))

8:27 am

hi everyone

8:27 am

((((wild))))

8:27 am

I knew very little abuot Jewish words and accents until recently when Voltaire did a very Jewish-based few songs. So I've a lot very quickly

8:27 am

I have lived in Connecticut for 36 years, but have never lost my New York accent totally. Yeah

8:27 am

as in "hey ishmael,want to go to the store? youwant i should go to the store? im asking arnt i? well whats stopping you?

8:27 am

It is not Jewish words...it is Yiddish words

8:27 am

now there is an accent I like... the texan accent...***smiles and looks at wild*****

8:28 am

If you want to know Jewish words, read the JOys of Yiddish

8:28 am

*by Leo Rosten

8:28 am

all i can think about is the animated jewish axe from the beauty and the beast cartton from disney lol

8:29 am

all the snow is melting and it looks horrible... why can't it just stay snow ... or just rain I hate inbetween very dangerous to walk

8:29 am

Jewish axe?

8:29 am

well im guessing ,sounds like it

8:30 am

;)

8:30 am

have freezing rain here today;(

8:30 am

except that I don't have one

8:30 am

oh suuuuuuure that's what they all say hee hee hee

8:30 am

I'm not a native

8:31 am

just teasing wild

8:31 am

8:31 am

i had a feeling you were going to say that though ... but didnd,t want to be too assuming... where were you born wild?

8:32 am

Arizona

8:32 am

with the canadian way of speech if you move to the states,they put you kids in remmedial class because they think they are behind in speech:(

8:32 am

Usually at festive occasions [weddings, bar mitzvahs, etc]

8:32 am

ah ok ty

8:32 am

no cross I don't find that the case

8:33 am

Cross, is that true. There are so many regional accents here. Besides, people of the upper midwest sound a bit like Canadians

8:33 am

i think the canadians speak english very well

8:33 am

i have many anerican friends when i send them voice links they say we pause a lot and draw out our thoughts

8:33 am

don't canadians say eh? after every sentence?

8:33 am

yes i speak english very goodly eh?

8:33 am

no we dodnt ata

8:34 am

dont

8:34 am

just like that :)

8:34 am

awwww

8:34 am

how disappointing

8:34 am

"eh" can have many uses but it is mostly for conformation of a idea for to indicate to a person to repeat themselves

8:34 am

But Canadians do retain the "our" endings from British

8:34 am

or

8:34 am

I speek and rite it very good meself and have excelint granma skils

8:35 am

yes we do bichon

8:35 am

yes. Canadian seems much closer to English than American a lot of the time

8:35 am

colour,arbour,theater etc

8:35 am

theatre

8:35 am

There are patterns of speech in the US I have a hard time with [like deep South]

8:36 am

I have a problem with a thick scottish brogue

8:36 am

I have a nightmare trying to understand people from Tennessee for some reason

8:36 am

what drive me nuts is the amrican way of saying "he dived into the pool" or "he lighted a cigar"

8:36 am

Ata!

8:36 am

omg scottish. I have relatives in the Orkneys, and I swear they don't speak English!

8:36 am

Une!!

8:36 am

he lit or he dove

8:36 am

it's dived here too, crossy

8:37 am

When I was in Scotland I could hardly understand a word!

8:37 am

watch what you say about us Tennesseans! LOL

8:37 am

ok would someone be so kind as to give me the 134 words I don't have please

8:37 am

We visited New Zealand and they have a very different way of pronounching words. Our guide introduced himself as "Kint" [it was really Kent]. I thought that was what his name really was.

8:37 am

no need for much talking as long as you have some single malt;)

8:37 am

:P

8:37 am

love NZ accent

8:37 am

of course, here you have everything from southern belles in Memphis to Loretta Lynn hard twang in Knoxville . . .

8:37 am

lol oodle

8:38 am

want some fun une? try our down easters;)

8:38 am

****looks at wild's list****

8:38 am

Are down easters like Mainiacs?

8:38 am

:-D

8:39 am

its hard to explain,you just have to experience it,but they are the most generous people i have ever met in my life..if they have next to nothing,they will share half of if if you need it;))

8:40 am

We were at a park in N.S. and some people were looking for their kids who had wandered off. They described them as "strange" [meaning strangers to the areas]. But to us, there was something strange about them

8:40 am

best friend's mother lives in TN and has done for ever and ever ish. She lives near JOhnson City and I can hardly understand a word she says lol

8:40 am

***claps his hands and says fun, fun, fun***

8:40 am

Can someone help me with the re7 please?

8:40 am

yep, that's the hard twang part of the state . . .

8:41 am

I need translators for there!

8:41 am

I've found out the correct word for brassiere in German : bustenhalter

8:41 am

ata, when I'm in Louisiana I need a translator for some parts of the state!

8:41 am

crossy is thinking of jeff foxworthy lol

8:41 am

damn the quebeckers are just the opposite... and you can't out give them if you give to them... but if you don't you git nothing...

8:41 am

crossy, aacckk!

8:42 am

LA and AL are almost as bad!

8:42 am

nm...got it

8:42 am

yup,just paying it forward oodle

8:42 am

LA and AL .. you mean louisianna and alabama?

8:43 am

oh, there are some northern areas with some pretty tough accents too!

8:43 am

I was in line at the grocery this week -- my line and the one next to it were both held up with non-native speakers trying to understand the cashiers . . .

8:43 am

my mother has a problem with the southern accent in general

8:43 am

yep. I do love the alabama accent though. but it lulls me into just listening to the accent and not listening to the words

8:44 am

hispanics?

8:44 am

ohmygod, both cashiers were older women and had no idea what might be a STANDARD way to express themselves

8:44 am

A lot of Hispanics in NYC speak New Yorican, or Spanglish

8:45 am

that's hard... I revert to sign language

8:45 am

i had a friend from Bethlehem PA when i was little + i hardly understood half of what she said!

8:45 am

oodle, my mom's accent is so thick and syrupy, when we used to go to NYC together, she wouldn't open her mouth--no one had a CLUE what she was saying! LOL

8:46 am

what I find really funny is that when I'm in OR, most people think I'm Australian

8:46 am

omg une... too funny

8:47 am

my parents are from london, but have lived in the US for over 40 years. my moms best friend is australian, but has lived here for over 40 years... when they go out together, no one knows WHERE theyre from!

8:47 am

Ata you travelled a great deal in the states eh?

8:47 am

what i find funny is that americans LOVE my parents british accent...but when they go home to england, they LOVE my parents american accent! hehe

8:47 am

that's cute eva

8:48 am

when I'm bumming around with best friend - she's from OR but brought up in Arizona, and I'm very very British, we are usually taken both for Australians. And neither of us have anything like an Aussie accent

8:48 am

yes when my mother and I were in england together... I was the one with the accent and my mother had no accent... GO FIGURE

8:49 am

though it appears that I've now spent enough time in the US to be able to slip into speaking English English but with American phrases adn words

8:49 am

my parents were just over in england a few weeks ago + my "cousin" (not really) asked my mom "so, did you used to talk like me?"

8:50 am

awwww

8:50 am

ok ata I'm confused now... do you live in england or the states.. or another part of the UK eh?

8:51 am

the funny thing is, she didnt! my parents have more of the "proper" london accent, whereas most of the family we have now has more of the "lower-class" cockney-ish type of accent...

8:51 am

England

8:51 am

we live in the US. my parents are originally from england.

8:51 am

Ata's an international woman of mystery!

8:51 am

but I spend a good amount of time in OR, and am going to move over there at some point soon

8:51 am

My MA born Mom currently speaks with a NYC accent. She was visiting with us and my daughter's friends's mother stopped by. She has a southern accent. My Mom says to her in a thick NY accent: "Do I detect a trace of a Southern accent?" Hubby and I still laugh about that

8:52 am

wow big move ata

8:52 am

me graamy still lives in cornwall(she is 100 this year and still makes her own yorkie pudds) and she has a wonderfull accent

8:52 am

nah, northern oregon is a lot like england in a lot of ways. but with Dairy Queen

8:52 am

awwwww, whereabouts in cornwall?

8:52 am

heh, trade the Queen for Dairy Queen...

8:53 am

but from england to OR BIG MOVE

8:53 am

I love the Queen, but I love DQ Blizzards too ....

8:53 am

ive got family in Bexley Heath and in Hook...

8:53 am

not really. I'm used to doing stuff like that

8:53 am

not sure ata,our branch of the family came over on the boat in 66 and i personally have yet to go back

8:53 am

hee ehe hee ata

8:53 am

Happy Thanksgiving Eve(Day), all you Babblers!

8:54 am

I'm going near Bexleyheath tomorrow, I'll wave at them for you!

8:54 am

8:54 am

oh yes happy turkey day my american friends;)

8:54 am

ty judi

8:54 am

I've tried to spend as much of my life as possible bumming round the world :P

hey i'm from jersey....you;d love my accent! hi all!

hey i'm from jersey....you'd love my accent! hi all!

8:55 am

being english, my dads favorite joke is: "we do have Thanksgiving in england, you know. it's just that you americans call it 'Independence Day'"

8:55 am

absolutely!!!

8:55 am

TO, don't you mean "joy-zee" ?

8:55 am

we already had our thanksgiving ... although I think it is celbrated more in the states than here.. the quebeckers anyway.

8:55 am

i love the names of the small british villages;) yarldleby-on the heath puddlby on the wye and all the shires;))

no, that's how those new yawkers say jersey!

8:56 am

oh yeah, they are fab. Nebnett Thrumbwell is my favourite

8:56 am

but thanksgiving doesn«'t have anything to do with independance.... it is centered aroudn the good harvest and the blessings thereof

8:56 am

I'm from Noo Yawk and I dont say Joisey

8:56 am

thats what makes it funny, oodle. ;)

8:56 am

we can still celebrate getting rid of y'all :P

8:57 am

Annie, what part of NY. Outside the city, most New Yorkers speak differently

8:57 am

oh...um I'm slow...

LOL hi annie! i think that's a media stereotype actually. now philly accent is ROUGH! they say it's really rooted in british accent and pronuncitaion.

8:57 am

bichon, born and raised in Manhattan, now live in Brooklyn for many years

8:57 am

I'm originally from upsate NY, and I don't say Joisey either. Now being from Delaware, we just say "the other side of the bridge" or "d'udder side".

8:57 am

I was born in NYC/richmond

8:57 am

Hello hello, all!

8:57 am

Really Annie, and you don't have a NY accent? How did you escape?

8:58 am

Judi, where in upstate? I just moved from Plattsburgh

8:58 am

Richmond is the fancy name for Staten Island

8:58 am

hi blue

hi blue

8:58 am

We used to live in Clinton, NY (near Utica). Been to Plattsburgh. It's cold up there!

8:58 am

Hi oodle :-)

8:58 am

bichon, Yes, I certainly do have a New York accent but Joisey is not it

8:58 am

YEAH BICHON

8:58 am

ever watch u.k dart tourneys? lol"as lord phillip roundbottom prepares for his next throw,we can tell you that he currently resides in puddleby-on-the-wye where he collect sheep dung drooping and has the reigons largest beer bottle colletion..lol think i need another tea

8:59 am

you are the first one who knows that they are one in the same

8:59 am

Hahaha it is chilly, but not as cold as here in WY (where I moved to)

8:59 am

I guess Joisy accent is a bit different than Noo Yawk [a bit]

8:59 am

Richmond is the county, oodle, Staten Island is the borough

8:59 am

here in DC, we are accent-free. :)

9:00 am

Wyoming! Dear lord. I didn't think anything except bison and elk moved to Wyoming.

9:00 am

Yes, Annie, like Manhattan and New York

9:00 am

yes bichon, i used to have a new joisy accent when I moved to the state of washington. I used to say may i have a glass of werter

9:00 am

bichon, what part of Brooklyn did you live in before you moved to CT?

9:00 am

what's the dif annie

9:01 am

I have to laugh cause I needed a new birth certificate. I always thought of myself as born in the City of New York. Apparently, I was born in the city of Brooklyn

9:01 am

Yeah, well, I'm a masochist like that, I guess. Speaking of Joisey, I grew up just outside of Newark, so I can definitely relate to the accent (especially since both of my parents are native LongIslanders originally)

9:01 am

We moved from Brooklyn to Rockaway when I was small. As an adult I lived in Manhattan and hubby and I moved to CT from there

9:01 am

bichon, my daughter lives in CT

9:02 am

My boyfriend is from Sandy Hook in CT

9:02 am

Where Annie. I live in Middletown

9:02 am

(Sandy Hook? Did I remember the town name right?)

i never knew anyone from new jersey who said "werter"

9:02 am

She lives in Wilton

9:02 am

Annie? what is the dif between a burrough and a county... thought they were the same

9:02 am

bbl real life intrudes...poof

9:03 am

bye crosshair

9:03 am

oodle, going to google county and borough, be right back

bye crossy!

9:03 am

Wilton's much closer to NYC. NIce place

9:04 am

EvaNadine, you still here?

9:04 am

still here! (in + out...pretending to do work)

9:05 am

On Long Island there's Kings County, Queens County, Nassau County and Suffolk County. But Brooklyn and Queens are also boroughs of NYC. Unnecessarily complicated

9:05 am

Gotcha :-) I just wanted to say, the photos on your flickr page are AWESOME.... SO very pin-up!!! I love them

9:05 am

Delaware has a bit of a spill-over Philly accent. Water is pronounced "wooter", whereas I was looked at strangely when I said "wah-ter". I think the philly accents sounds a bit like Elmer Fudd.

9:05 am

oh, thanks! :)

9:06 am

ohhh annie you don't have to do that I could have if you didn't know you could have said I should do that... but thank you very much

9:06 am

eva's our babble model :D

9:06 am

hah, im something, all right! :P

9:06 am

Our goose is back today, I see. I've missed the little honker.

9:06 am

model for what /...... yeah :P

9:06 am

hee hee he judi

9:07 am

I want the volcano to come back

9:07 am

You should shoot some pictures of you playing babble pin-up girl style hahaha...

9:07 am

perfection, clearly, ata. ;)

9:07 am

oodle, counties and boroughs are, for the most part, the same...

9:08 am

modesty too :D

9:08 am

im trying to lay off the photo shoots for a little while -- theyre a little pricey! but most definitely will do more in the future. :)

9:09 am

i have enough modesty to blush when people pay me a compliment. :)

9:09 am

yeah, but we can sense the in5 smug :P

9:10 am

oh and when I wanted to get an official copy of my birth certificate the lady there said the burrough changed names from richmond to staten island.. but on my birth certificate it says the CITY of richmond... so I am confused...

9:10 am

oh golly. i do have a bit of a show-offy streak, but really, im quite shy!

9:10 am

Brooklyn was once an independent city [long ago] but was then incorporated into the city of NY

9:11 am

awwwww teasing you dear, we know you're lovely

9:11 am

It still stands...brooklyn is the borough, Kings county is the county....Staten Island is the borough, Richmond is the County...gets confusing

9:11 am

Hmmm... somehow the photographer didn't quite capture the "shy" in those photos :-)

9:11 am

shes a good photographer. :)

9:12 am

the are two names but the same area

9:12 am

and Manhattan is the borough and New York is the county, etc. etc. etc.

9:12 am

actually, THEY are good photographers...ive been to 2 different gals :)

9:12 am

yes, the same area, oodle

9:13 am

I can tell they're good, those photos really are incredible... I'm sure it has a lot to do with the subject, though :-)

9:13 am

well fine... I will just go to the corner and pout and reflect on this phenomena of references to area in NYC. sheesh

9:13 am

hi I'm new can someone tell me the rules

9:14 am

9:26 am

9:30 am

need to eat?

9:30 am

getting sick

9:30 am

9:30 am

anyone found a really one word worth a lot of points?

9:30 am

9:31 am

9:31 am

my sinuses are stuffy - I have a bit of a headache

9:31 am

9:31 am

9:31 am

i notice when I drink lots when my nose is congested it helps

9:32 am

1st an5?

9:32 am

try some hot tea

9:33 am

or get in the shower ... the steam loosens things up

9:33 am

little worried about showering with this dizzyness

9:33 am

sit in bathroom with shower running

9:33 am

kje? you have any suggestions?

9:34 am

any clue for the te7 ?

9:34 am

or heat pot of water on stove and stand over it

9:34 am

same thing

9:34 am

have one an 5/10 a+Egyptian river

9:35 am

dizziness can be interpreted many ways... 1st is it vertigo vs light headedness... huge differential diagnosis for both... if in fact you are so "dizzy" that you don't feel you can even stand, you should call your doctor

9:35 am

ty babs, but there is one before that

hi all, and tremons is "not a word" 8-(

9:35 am

ah, the old wo'nn'an disease

9:35 am

hi gwen

9:36 am

okay - if I stand up the room feels sideways

9:36 am

that is vertigo

9:36 am

could be an ear infection

9:36 am

my ears don't hurt

9:37 am

vertigo is caused by an infection which makes your ears out of sync

9:37 am

if you are congested, runny nose, other URI symptoms, it is most likely labyrinthitis - if it persists would call your doc

9:37 am

I had it once

9:37 am

an5/10---an+ the old or new testam*** of the Bible

lex, i would not stand up if i were you. if you have low blood sugar you could try eating something (small anf light, like a slice of bread or a glass of juice)

9:38 am

vertigo can be caused by lots and lots of things

9:38 am

husband couldn't walk in a straight line and it was an "inner ear infection" he had no earache

9:38 am

how long of a persistence - I need to do all the cooking tomorrow

9:39 am

lexi - call the doctor... mostly b/c you are about to hit a long weekend and if things worsen you are shit out of luck... so just call

9:39 am

feel a little - odd - just sitting upright in bed

9:39 am

elhi

9:39 am

okay i am calling

hi el! LOL

9:40 am

the differential diagnosis for vertigo is long, but he can review your history, ask some questions, and do a few maneuvers to narrow it down - just call

9:41 am

when I got up just now - it is better

9:41 am

http://health.yahoo.com/nervous-resour ces/brandt-daroff-exercise-for-vertigo /healthwise--zm2446.html

9:41 am

an exercise that may clear vertigo ...have used it before very effectively...

9:42 am

did you call?

9:42 am

doesn't hurt to have it checked out

9:42 am

that is for benign positional vertigo... will not help with other things like infections... just ignore all this, lexi and call your doc

9:42 am

re8?

9:43 am

not yet - felt better when I got up -

9:44 am

a leftover piece of fabric [spelling w/ a guy in the center]

i'm with kje on this, call your doctor and for goodness sake don't overdo it tomorrow!

9:44 am

I'm going to spell it wrong, but I had labrythitis, with vertigo, no real symtoms til I couldn't move ther vertigo was so bad, go to the doctors

9:44 am

any clue for the te7....last one I need?

9:45 am

good lawd, just looked out the window and there is a big ol' wild turkey bopping around the back yard - RUN TOM RUN

9:45 am

9:46 am

Is there a sign hanging around it's neck that says "Eat me"?

9:46 am

thanks scribe

9:46 am

no problem-

i have an insane squirrel that frequently visits my balcony looking for treats. no wild turkeys here . . .

9:46 am

I can't make it out,but it looks like it says "eat more beef"

9:47 am

congrats on finishing!

9:47 am

LOL trif... competeing with the chik-fil-a cows

Hi briefly. Anyone got a good Beef Wellington recipe?

no, it says "eat chicken" LOL

9:48 am

okay - appt at 3:40 gives me time to shower and see if I feel better

9:48 am

trif - why are you not chasing

9:49 am

good lex - since most offices are closed for the next 4 days, it is better not to wait prior to a holiday

9:49 am

Beef Wellington - never had it sounds wonderful

9:49 am

Yeah - I asked them - they are closed...

9:49 am

cuz my sister gets turkey duty this year....

9:50 am

Christmas is coming the turkey's getting fat...

9:50 am

okay there are NO WAY 22 l words in this dumb grid

It is! Made a pretty good one a few weeks ago but always looking for new recipes. It's beef smothered in sauteed mushrooms and gravy wrapped in puff pastry, baked golden, and served with a wine sauce.

9:50 am

it is a beef in gravy in a pastry shell

9:50 am

i have never hunted before, trif... but that would be tempting... you know that wild bird will taste better than anyone your sis has found at the market!

9:50 am

thanks for the advice and attention

9:51 am

*is suddenly not satisfied with Taco Bell* Thanks...*stomach growls/whines in protest*

9:51 am

MG - just to finish, told the DH not to come tomorrow. Went over like a fart in a space suit, but at least I held my ground. whew.

Is something wrong, Lexlee? The kind folks on here are great for attention and advice. Nicest chatrom on the web.

9:51 am

re7?

taco bell? oh yuck! LOL

9:52 am

yw - you'll let us know what happens, right?

9:52 am

just go and make for certain it's not anything serious lex

Wow. Good for you Trif!

9:52 am

put back the lower part of a shoe

rutheniem is not a word 8-(

9:52 am

yes - I will share

9:53 am

Tell me about it...but it was the only place that didn't have a line (few places are open at 0600, at least in this pit of a town)...

9:53 am

good for you, Trif!!

9:53 am

thanks. I am slowly making my way through this strange new landscape. I don't like it, but it's the bag of hammers I have been handed.

9:53 am

lexi...doesn't hurt to try the exercise in the link earlier just to see if that eases things while you're waiting for your appointment later ..just my humble opinion

And my update is that I have two flattened discs that have "ruptured slightly" and nobody can do anything about it. The orthopedist thinks it "should" stope gtting worse and start getting better within a couple months.

9:54 am

sorry to hear that monkey

(my hometown is a pit, too)

good morning

Hang in there Trif! If you need anyone to talk to you can always e-mail me.

9:54 am

Oh, MG - I am so sorry they could not do more than tell you that! Is there anything they suggest? PT? Shots?

So, as Kurt Vonnegut was fond of writing, it goes!

9:54 am

Okay I'm dense I got the re6, with the shoe part but whats the 7

This orthopedist doesn't believe in the shots and physical therapy both did not work and he says will not. But if it gets "much worse", especially the leg radiation, I can go back.

9:55 am

MG - have they cleared you for use of a TENS unit (spelling might be off...)...my father ruptured two discs in his back some years ago, they thought he would never walk again, and that thing saved him...he'll 100% mobile. That, and a lot of time at the chiropractor.

9:55 am

ah, sorry, space ship going back into the at'nn'osphere

At least I know what it is. That's most important.

9:56 am

there is a simple device here in the states and may be in Europe as well where you pump oxygen a couple of times a day into the back area...back2life you lie with legs up over a board of sorts and there is continuous gentle action just bringing oxygen to the area

9:56 am

thank you!

Well, I could try it, Unithorn, and thanks, but I just had 8 acupuncture treatments from a qualified physical therapist specializing in it and electrical stimulation WAS used. Have to research if it's the same approach or if there ar efunctional differences.

Hmmm... will ask about that Babs, thank you.

9:57 am

gonna go for a bit bbl

9:57 am

wild no

9:57 am

you can't go

9:57 am

dammit

9:57 am

do a google search..a freiend recommended to me who had chronic back issues

Bye Wildcat! If I'm ust glooming you out I'm about to go make Beef Wellington...

I will do it, Babs.

9:58 am

gonna take a shower

9:58 am

**poof**

Can anyone clue the 10 before I go?

Bye Lexlee!

9:59 am

TENS was (if I recall, and this was almost 10 years ago) three or four sensor pads that you placed on the injury in varied spots...did you just use it during said sessions, or...? When my father used it, it was as necessary. Some days, he simply could not be without it - others, he only used it a few times. Used it a LOT when he first started walking again. Just a thought, something to look into...maybe they won't recommend it for you because your injury isn't too severe *sopes*

9:59 am

*hopes*

10:00 am

mg - it sort of sounds like what you would have put on sore muscles long ago

10:00 am

The treatments involved insertions of acupuncture needles around and in the injury site which were then electrified.

10:00 am

First two letters?

10:00 am

for the li 10 you need to combine li 4/4 and am 5/12

10:01 am

mg, li 10 is plural of li 9/60

10:01 am

Thanks!

10:01 am

Hmm. That's different, then. Well, either way, might be something to ask about. Hope you get to feeling better.

10:01 am

Got em, have put plenty of various types of that on horse legs in my time.

10:02 am

I'll ask about it. And thank you. OK, off to the kitchen with me! Have fun all.

10:05 am

happy cooking MG

2 heinous little buggers to go

10:44 am

MG, I cannot believe all you are getting done, what with your poor back and all....

10:44 am

hello all - i want cinnamon to be in the grid

10:44 am

ursh! I said that earlier....there is a cinnamon phantom, just in time for thanksgiving....

10:44 am

me, too ursh!

10:45 am

and whats wrong with linament??

10:45 am

and lemon too!

10:45 am

liniment I think

10:45 am

missing a letter ursh

10:45 am

sqeeze an extra vowel in there ursh

10:45 am

Thanks, Trif, but, well, I have to. It's just me and my husband and a four year old, no other family for thousands of miles. But my house is a Total Wreck, trust me.

10:45 am

oh hell I thought i was cleverer than enable

10:46 am

Things'll get a bit easier in 8 weeks when I have my degree and can look for work.

10:46 am

think of a long I sound

10:46 am

so, since my life has been *so* uneventful lately, here's more fun: the Dell people were able to get my laptop going again, but it meant reinstalling the operating system, which meant I lost EVERY thing I had on there. It's all gone. :(

10:47 am

ick ICK! but at least you got it working!

10:47 am

AE6 clue please?

10:47 am

Aww, BUMMER!!!! I wish I lived closer. My husband is quite the expert in that sort of repairs.

10:47 am

MG - have you ever checked out flylady.net? It is a GREAT site for house type stuff...

10:47 am

ae word sounds like a word for something really, really hateful

10:48 am

clue for the re 7/36 please

10:49 am

I tried it on a recommendation from someone on here, but after a few days I found it trite and not fully suited to my lifestyle, not to mention too chaotic: all those cross-traffic e-mails! But the tips were pretty good. Even the self-obvious one. So a couple weeks of it was a good kick in the butt. Now my house is a total wreck but unlikely to make anyone ill.

10:49 am

oh Lord Trif - I would love an uneventful life right now - we having enormous family issues right now

10:49 am

I get the email s in a daily digest - much easier to well....digest

10:50 am

Like, of course one knows one SHOULD start the washing machine before leving for the day, but one DOESN'T...

10:50 am

ursh, I am too, trust me - I was being WAY sarcastic

10:50 am

Trif is talking down her situation. Uneventful means a chance to rally herself to go on.

10:50 am

Maybe I should try that.

10:51 am

What's wrong, Ursh?

10:51 am

Oh yes Trif i remember - sorry we will think of each other and get through bad times - across the world holding hands

10:51 am

I think a much better plan is for me to come hang out on the beach with you! Our beaches are FROZEN - ick

10:51 am

This is such a GREAT "place"... everyone actually cares. I have trouble convincing people that this chatroom even exists.

10:52 am

lol mg

10:52 am

I have daughter in and out of rehab suffering codeine addiction and depression - two young kids - husband cant handle and wants divorce - very painful

10:52 am

Ours are frozen AND gale swept. But come anyway.

10:52 am

oh, ursh.....{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{big hug}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}

10:53 am

Our beaches are drizzly - we having lots of rain and hardly any summer

10:53 am

Oh OUCH!!! I'm so sorry to hear it. My step-uncle went through that a few years ago, only it was oxy. I am sending strengthening thoughts your way!!!

10:53 am

stuck with 84 left, bbl

10:53 am

will send you prayers ursh!

10:53 am

actually, the pond down the street from us is frozen enough for skating! Can't remember EVER having that before Thanksgiving before....

10:53 am

I'm stuck at 86, Peri, so you're winning.

10:53 am

ae 6 is an+ homnym of what you read in the daily paper

10:54 am

please - 92!

10:54 am

Yeah, early winter everywhere. We've had more snow than I've ever seen before February.

10:54 am

Thank you Babs - need many prayers right now - finding the going very tough

ty bichon - tough one to clue, no doubt

10:55 am

yw

10:55 am

ursh - I will be prying for you too. how sad to have to have your daughter in such pain....terrible when it happens to our children

10:55 am

one help can be to connect with your body sensations as emotions come up...stay with the sensations and then pray

10:56 am

Sorry Ursh-- I am sending prayers and thoughts too (non-religious but very spiritual prayers). Was distracted by Walter wanting me to find the apple in his Dora book. If you need to talk you can e-mail me, biut I'm not sure what our time difference is...

10:57 am

Here it is 3 minutes to 6 p.m.

10:57 am

I just mean if it seemed I was talking a while to e-mail back it could be 4 a.m. here...

10:57 am

oh hey! I had a word, ran to answer the phone, and the word crawled away....does this grid DO that a lot?

10:58 am

Please can some kind babbler clue the RE7 ??? (last word)

10:58 am

Oh yes, Trif!

10:58 am

pug, my love, I would if I could....

10:58 am

mean old grid! :(

10:58 am

Thank you all - so helps to share with uninvolved people - need to get supper on the table - bbl

G'd afternoon Babblers. Some wild rumor is flying that I have to find 8 more words. Yeesh.

11:08 am

We've talked of little else. 'That Lori(Canada) is so slow' 'have you heard that Lori(Canada) hasn't finished yet? 'Nothing surprises me about Lori(Canada) - she forgets plurals. Plurals!'

yes. yes she does. yes she is.

11:09 am

And I'm evil too! G'd afternoon Haz, haven't seen ya' lately.

11:09 am

11:14 am

JohnBarrowmanIsComingToKentTomorrowHaz

11:14 am

Nicely done Ata. Very dignified. :D

11:14 am

didi anyone read twiligh

11:14 am

Don't be long TO.

i have already got 175 words. not during lunch though ;)

11:14 am

But the question is, will John Barrowman get to leave Kent tomorrow?

11:14 am

no, I'd rather eat rat vomit

11:15 am

hopefully not!

11:15 am

wait - that's the guy from Torchwood, right?

11:15 am

yes samy I did.

11:15 am

twilight isn't that bad

11:15 am

Yes, the ugly one with no talent, Trif.

11:15 am

yep!!

11:15 am

I smell another potential kidnapping....

who is john barrowman and why is ata swooning and threatening to eat ratpuke?

11:15 am

(I've been kind to Samy, I can't summon up any kindness for Ata. I want to hear the righteous indignation.

11:16 am

I wish FM would come with me

11:16 am

*is so above Haz's taunts*

11:16 am

I need help

11:16 am

oh, I think he is ****yummy**** However, I believe he bats for the other team, so that's no help to me.

11:16 am

he definitely does

11:17 am

The psychiatric department is booked solid at this time Samy.

11:17 am

Yes, Ata rides high on a cloud of smug. Brilliant, Einstein's granddaughter and now the chance to see John Barrowman.

11:17 am

do you think I could kidnap FM and take her with me?

11:17 am

samy - admitting it is the first step to successful treatment....what can we help you with today, dear?

11:17 am

It depends on how much she resists the kidnapping attempt, Ata.

11:17 am

Ata, it's the only way to stop her from wasting time working.

may i come along? i hate it here. i can tie good slipknots.

11:18 am

I could bribe her with good coffee

11:18 am

um I have 20 words but i heard someone say that they have 175 words

11:18 am

yes TO! quick! fly over!

11:18 am

i make great scones

11:18 am

We have enough head cases without encouraging more. Have mercy.

11:18 am

Won't work Ata, you'll need force. Blackmail maybe?

11:18 am

where is FM anyway?

i heard there were $199 fares each way

11:18 am

fm had to get dry cleaning, i think

11:18 am

***notes that TO is handy with a rope***

11:18 am

I'd pay that to drool at JB

samy - i have 166 words and counting. there are 206 possible words in the grid

11:19 am

She's working. She's setting up Babble Airways, lots of fringe benefits.

well that lets me out i am a head case if there ever was one. but i swear i was sane before i got this job.

11:19 am

It's ***cough*** TO that's going for drycleaning....

11:19 am

well I wish she'd get online, if she's not busy tomorrow afternoon, I'm going to kidnap her

11:19 am

oh, sorry. where did fm go then?

11:19 am

TO knows this is more funner than clean clothes. :D

11:19 am

Lori(Canada) can't find words, but she's great at keeping tabs on everyone.

11:20 am

I am way behind then hahah

emeu

ooooops

whoops ok the gate will be closed if i tarry more. i go anon. *poof*

11:20 am

<----clipboard with lotsa' paper

*scuffles his feet into the PB*

11:20 am

11:20 am

Quick, Samy, it looks unlikely but there's another word for your collection.

11:20 am

Bye TO!

11:20 am

I left brownies for you in the PB josh

11:21 am

wait what I'm new at this sorry I don't get it Haz1558

11:21 am

Words? What is it we're here for again?

11:21 am

Our babble is more often insane than in5/10. It depends on how many head cases are on.

11:21 am

Scroll back, Josh gave a word.

11:22 am

It's made us all se 6/18

11:22 am

You rang?

11:22 am

11:22 am

11:22 am

stalker!

11:22 am

***attention all shoppers, we've lost FM, if you find her, please bring her to the checkout***

11:22 am

Well, that's one thing in his favour, I suppose.

11:23 am

Let me run to the kitchen....

11:23 am

he does some work with Cocker rescue and the CDL

11:23 am

I wonder what her price would be?

11:23 am

11:24 am

wow this is more complicated than I thought

11:24 am

Ooh, found my missing m. ***tries faking Babble***

11:25 am

FM would be at least a boullion dollars! :p

11:25 am

at least!

*hits lorip with a huge inflatable crayon for that pun*

11:26 am

+ tax

11:26 am

any clues for the re 8?

11:26 am

Good evening all.........You lot cannot be trusted, how could you lose FM ??

11:26 am

yeowch lori (jealous...)

11:26 am

what is FM?

11:26 am

quite easily, apparently!

11:26 am

FM is unique

11:27 am

rentry

11:27 am

lol josh. I tried!

11:27 am

sorry, not really a word

11:27 am

add an e, bichon

11:27 am

G'd afternoon caitlyn, bichon

11:27 am

I miss a knitter...I wish she was on during the day sometimes...

11:27 am

hi cait!

11:27 am

Uni says hi, Cait

11:27 am

wasn't the word I was looking for. Already have that. Looking for the 8

11:27 am

knitter was on earlier I think

11:28 am

I think. Someone said hello. Was probably lUni!

11:28 am

Me Uni, or is there another Uni?

11:28 am

Afternoon Lori Ata Bichon Tri and Samy, and anyody I missed

11:28 am

There's an re 8? That's my missing 8 then. Ack

11:28 am

a different Uni

11:29 am

Okies sorry. Hi all the same.

11:29 am

The udder Uni.

11:29 am

what about Samy?

11:29 am

G'd afternoon uni! :)

11:29 am

what about Samy?

just got the re8

clue coming up

11:31 am

Look away Lori(Canada)!

11:31 am

I had to do it. Sorry, Silverclaw

11:31 am

guys I'm confused whats with the fractions like 6/18 and 5/10

re5/12 + first three letters of the main course

11:31 am

***stares at screen with baited breath***

11:32 am

or re + consonant + an5!

samy, the first number is the number of letters in the word, the 2nd number is the amount of total points for all the tiles in the word

11:32 am

?

11:32 am

Ack! ***leaps from Babble balcony to the pool below***

11:32 am

ty Josh

11:32 am

woot woot! loving on josh....and ata

11:33 am

Thanks josh, Ata Hari

11:33 am

ohh thanks so much

11:33 am

oh my

11:33 am

***feels inadequate, assumes the fetal position***

11:33 am

Did nobody tell Lori(Canada) about the pool being drained?

a five letter word, the total points on the tiles is doubled, a six letter word, the total points on the tiles is tripled, and so on

11:33 am

I thought the landing was a bit rough.

11:34 am

why inadequate? that was a horrid word!

so re8/45, the word starts with "R-E", is 8 letters long, and has a total of 9 points on all the tiles

11:34 am

....which makes it impossible for math illiterates like me to figure out the tiles from the points....

11:34 am

It's not even a real word anyways......

11:34 am

whats the longest word that someone found? How many letters and points?

11:35 am

lol lori!

11:35 am

:D

11:35 am

LOL

11:35 am

oops wrong window

11:36 am

***soaps Ata's window***

11:36 am

zounds, this grid BLOWS - the only letter I have greyed out is the y - big honkin deal....

don't know for sure, samy - probably at least 12 letters, and well over 100 points

11:36 am

Evening all :)

11:36 am

Anyone find a really long word?

11:36 am

I didn't think you'd do anything that looked like housework, Lori.

11:36 am

re 6/21

11:36 am

aha!

11:36 am

SHE LIVES!

11:36 am

Yes Samy

11:36 am

FM!!!!!! Your absence has made the chat unbearable :)

there's a 10 letter word in this grid, samy

11:37 am

FM, why as I live and breathe. :)

11:37 am

(Trif is exaggerating a tad.)

li9/60 and its plural li10/77

11:37 am

Hi FM :)

11:37 am

Awe Trif thank you for that welcome!!

11:37 am

Hey Team Babble :)

11:37 am

Haz, housework is a 4 letetr word for me, you know that.

11:37 am

Trif, you need to hang around more to see REALLY unbearable chat.

11:38 am

can i get a clue for the li ten?

11:38 am

*** snicker ***

11:38 am

FM .......?

11:38 am

I know, Lori(Canada), so was deeply confused that you'd put soap anywhere near windows. It could be misinterpreted.

11:38 am

5/12

11:38 am

wat Ata?

11:38 am

what are you doing tomorrow afternoon/evening? Are you working?

11:39 am

I disavow any knowledge of soaping Ata's window for cleaning purposes. Vandalism was the intent. Sorry for any ripple effect that it may have had on my reputation.

11:39 am

Be very careful how you reply, FM. Very careful indeed.

11:39 am

LOOOOOL

11:39 am

ooo I know where youare aiming.....

11:39 am

draw a straight li** + word at the end of a prayer + first letter of a hot drink with lemon

11:39 am

bad Haz!

11:39 am

***giggles like a school kid waiting for FM to answer Ata***

11:40 am

oh, thank gawd - tech support just got home from school! Now the laptop can finish getting fixed.

11:40 am

re 6/21?

11:40 am

Where would I have to be and at what time?

11:40 am

She's weakening.

11:40 am

I could come and get you!

11:40 am

re6/21 - re plus a part of a shoe or a foot.

11:40 am

Im sitting on the edge of my chair!

11:40 am

re + part of your foot

11:41 am

if I've got to get on the M25 anyway, I might as well

11:41 am

ty LoriP

11:41 am

What county is the signing in?

11:41 am

I'm trying to picture this. A manic Ata and an FM trying to retain her dignity.

11:41 am

... and at what time?

11:41 am

this is the bad part ... it's the last place on earth I want to be *whispers* Bluewater

11:42 am

LOL Haz!

11:42 am

but! in M&S so a bit calmer

11:42 am

But Bluewater sounds so peaceful.

11:42 am

ty bichon

11:43 am

it's at 6pm, so I guess I'd get there earlier anyway. If you'd like to come, I'm happy to grab you and take you home. If you dont, no probs!

11:43 am

I'd need my passport to got here, which counties does that mall cover? :)

11:43 am

every one in england?

11:44 am

I can't even remebmer whether it's the mall on this side of the Bridge, or the other side

11:44 am

Lakeside's on one side, and Bluewater is on the other

11:44 am

Both equally desirable places to be?

11:45 am

equally, yes

11:45 am

How do kids do it? He is home for five seconds, and the laptop is humming again....sigh

11:45 am

I've only been to Bluewater once, and it's - undescribable

11:45 am

It's a conspiracy, Trif. Is Al Fayed anywhere nearby?

11:45 am

***giggling in the back of the room***

11:45 am

Would travellers like Bluewater?

11:46 am

That could be fun but I have a meeting at 9.30 on Friday - leave it with me for now - I could do with a brak and some laughs!!!

11:46 am

oh yes

11:46 am

i am laughing as I look at the chat....look at my lone little flag there, amongst all the jacks...oh, and the leaf, too

11:47 am

And my dragon Tri LOL

11:47 am

You mean Lori(Canada)'s leaf? I wonder if she's found those plurals yet..

11:47 am

if we left Bluewater at 8 atthe latest - easily I would think - you'd be home at 9:30 easily, probably 9. Anyway, let me know, I'm certainly going and you might be a calming influence!!!

11:47 am

**what does one war to meet JB** ?

11:47 am

Don't mock me when I'm still here Haz.

11:47 am

btw cait, I LOVE your avatar....lovely!

11:47 am

FM - I think you need to take this on for the sake of Babble.

11:47 am

*wear

11:48 am

I am thinking a man suit, FM

11:48 am

sprakles! pink sparkles! no, whatever, I think

11:48 am

Calming influence. Is that code for anchor?

11:48 am

Do you dress up as a tardis? That would get you noticed.

11:48 am

LOL Trif!!!!!!

11:48 am

bet some people do

11:48 am

I can tell you're excited, Ata, your typing has gone to pot.

11:48 am

tardis! lol

11:48 am

tardis! lol

11:49 am

What about satin pants? Always fetching.

11:49 am

*bounce bounce*

11:49 am

awe you have to love her don't you :))

11:49 am

Always fetching the police, you mean.

11:49 am

LOL

11:50 am

If you wore your udnergarments on the outside of your outfit of choice, that'd get you noticed.

11:50 am

Of course, maybe that would just help them blend into the crowd at Bluewater.

11:50 am

(((cait)))

11:50 am

Underpinnings on display?

11:50 am

I'm just going to wear whatever I shove on after dog walking. nothing special

11:50 am

Just tossing out ideas, trying to help.

11:51 am

A likely story. The gold lame dress is being dry cleaned as we speak.

11:51 am

I want to take Hobbit, he loves cockers

11:51 am

(FM)) I have been here for a while

11:51 am

Great - I could be potoed with Ata dressed in intestines, skulls and poopie bits found on the beach that morning!

11:51 am

Mini skirts would be nice. ***couldn't type that with a straight face***

11:52 am

*after* dog walking! I change!

11:52 am

12:00 pm

12:00 pm

Oh stid Im sorry to hear you are not well

12:13 pm

THERE ARE NOT 22 FRIGGING L WORDS IN THIS GRID. ahem. forgive....

12:13 pm

yes there are *smug*

12:13 pm

did they let you listen to music during the MRI stid?

12:14 pm

Ditto

12:14 pm

I am FINE caitlyn... just sore. And hoping the MRI will show why the hip keeps popping out of place so we can either fix it or I can stop worrying about it and get on with life.

12:14 pm

* evil eyes Ata *

12:14 pm

what's british for "bite me?"

12:14 pm

bite me = you're wonderful

12:14 pm

Tri there is even a 9 /10 combo

12:14 pm

what do the 8's start with (I have none)

12:14 pm

they probably could have, nrk, but I put earplugs in and sang with the machine... *wicked grin* there were some rockin' rhythms as it cycled!

12:15 pm

12:17 pm

12:17 pm

12:19 pm

12:19 pm

trifioso, the 8's actually play off the 7s a bit

12:19 pm

Hello, peeps.

12:19 pm

Hi peri!!

12:19 pm

you have to add a letter strategically

12:19 pm

Hi Vi !!

12:19 pm

hey peri! hi vi!

12:19 pm

hi Peri and Vi!

12:19 pm

Hello Vi!

12:20 pm

12:20 pm

got em - thanks. Haven't put a word in for ages

12:20 pm

Welcome to pro-hood, Trifioso.

12:20 pm

Pini, no, sorry, the Li 8's play off the Li 7's

12:20 pm

the li 9/10 is "facial features" I think...

12:20 pm

No, Pini, panic no more.

12:20 pm

hey eri

12:20 pm

why thank you vicuna! so happy to be here

12:20 pm

oh, fine...the words I DON'T have yet!!!

12:20 pm

you have to plural them the way you would "mother-in-law"

12:21 pm

that's right, stid

12:21 pm

Ahhh, thanks, nrkii.

12:21 pm

li7 - compound word

12:21 pm

I'm just thinking of the reaction of a lot of men to the idea of mothers-in-law.

12:21 pm

I must be away to the kitchen........See you tomorrow, take care all, bye

12:21 pm

Got the LI's!!!!

12:21 pm

See you caitlyn.

12:22 pm

I thought "linament" was an old-fashioned medicine?

12:22 pm

(and my grandfather worked on the railroad)!

12:22 pm

later caitlyn! stay warm! *puts a bottle of rum in care package*

12:22 pm

spellied liniment

12:22 pm

stid, me too, but it's liniment

12:22 pm

no pini! really?

12:22 pm

trying the keep our home in order. since my son & my 6 year old granson live with us for the time being.

12:22 pm

oh... thanks nrk. Thought I was going CRAZY'er

12:22 pm

yes, ma'am...

12:22 pm

Bye, caitlyn!

12:23 pm

12:23 pm

Two sets of boys and their toys, nance?

12:23 pm

clue for the 9 and 10 anyone?

12:23 pm

thanks also vi... *rubs eyes* I really need those glasses the doc prescribed.

12:24 pm

"facial features" Esprit

12:24 pm

I am not getting the facial features clue. Must be dense today.

12:24 pm

yeppers haz - one is 6 and the other is 3 - they sure can melt you heart.

12:24 pm

li9/60 - to the straight one, add the ending to a prayer and wrap it up with a beverage.

12:25 pm

I don't know why I bother wasting time arguing with Lickety's list... Lickety always wins the arguement

12:25 pm

great clue haz!

12:25 pm

brb

12:25 pm

Yes, because grandmothers are noted for their severity to their children, nance.

12:25 pm

really good clue!

12:25 pm

LOL nrk!

12:25 pm

Thanks, stid and Pini.

12:26 pm

lol, nrkii. Enable is always right. Even when Enable is wrong. Good practice for arguments with bosses, I guess.

12:26 pm

ok... I finally got it. I really am slow today.

12:26 pm

in my world, I am always wrong. thanks to my children who are between the ages of 12 and 20... rofl

12:27 pm

oh! I need to switch back to my icon. brb

12:28 pm

I have never heard that word before.

12:28 pm

okay, that's better...

12:28 pm

me neither

12:28 pm

It's the sort of word that shows up a lot in Victorian literature.

12:28 pm

oh! past halfway!

12:29 pm

how fishy is the Y word today?

12:29 pm

Very fishy.

12:29 pm

not very...but monkeyable

12:29 pm

It incorporates a snaky fish.

12:29 pm

OK, so I am half done now!

12:29 pm

okay *Thinking*

12:29 pm

In fact, it can be clued y + long fish + opp of out

12:30 pm

oh! thanks vi! thought it was a 4 and having NO luck!

12:30 pm

help with bottom N next to the C please

12:30 pm

ye plus a backward Egyptian waterway.

12:30 pm

(ANd the fishy was meant to be a joke, but it took so long between my saying it and giving the clue that you probably thought I meant it for real.

12:30 pm

almost to no blank tiles, then I must go work on my project (which languished the last two days when I couldn't get around)

12:30 pm

bottom n = women who take care of other people's kids

12:31 pm

and singular

12:31 pm

thanks nrkii

12:31 pm

thx for the N

12:31 pm

NBT but 72 left to find

12:31 pm

thanks for the Ns, another tile grey...

12:31 pm

Okay, time for tea. Happy babbling!

12:32 pm

10 to go here

12:32 pm

later Haz! enjoy your tea!

12:32 pm

Go, nrkii, go!

12:32 pm

bye dear!

12:32 pm

Bye, Haz!

12:32 pm

12:32 pm

12:32 pm

go pini go!!!!

12:32 pm

bye haz - brb everyon else

12:33 pm

Hi! Stid!!! How hip???

12:33 pm

hey monkey -- better today. yesterday was a total loss. how's your back? what did the xrays show?

12:33 pm

the MRI results won't be ready for a little bit

12:34 pm

is there an EI word, and if there is, please clue...

12:34 pm

brb - going for some brain fuel!

12:34 pm

and I am back - on the resurrected laptop!

12:34 pm

el4/5 babblet

12:35 pm

el + howdy

12:35 pm

Ah, OK. About the MRI I mean. Well, with my back, I have two flattened discs that are "slightly" ruptured and nobody can do anything about it. The orthopedist feels that it should stop getting worse and start showing improvement within another couple of months.

12:35 pm

oh! golly. thanks!

12:35 pm

then e + what you find in the bottom of your pocket

12:35 pm

now I am to NBT, I will slow down.

12:35 pm

Hi again Trif!

12:35 pm

urgh. a couple months with a little one needing stuff is a VERY LONG TIME.

12:35 pm

echange? Oh, wait, oh, I see!! Thanks.

12:36 pm

mg....help....I got a "poor me" email about how he now has nowhere to go tomorrow....resolve weakening....

12:36 pm

did you tell the doc that you need a medical note so you can have maid service?

12:36 pm

AH! now I have another grey tile...

12:36 pm

Weaken not!!! Has he no family nor friends in your town???

12:36 pm

trif, who has nowhere to go?

12:37 pm

oh poooor him, Trif. Ignore him! Tell him to watch TV!

12:37 pm

if someone you are on outs with (like an ex), then get him a list of all the restaurants offering thanksgiving dinner tomorrow

12:37 pm

his problem. not yours.

12:37 pm

no family but mine, and yes, we do have friends, and I know for a FACT he is invited other places...unless, of course, they changed their minds about him too

12:37 pm

2 months is half how long it's been already.... Anyeway, I have actually requested "maid service" (they call it household help here), but I don't need a note-- they'll call my doctor.

12:37 pm

trifioso! *stern mama look* be strong, be brave. be stubborn. be resolute. (be smart)

12:37 pm

Good idea, nrk.

12:37 pm

dennys sounds about right....

12:38 pm

Trif - you stay strong and stick with it!!!

12:38 pm

So tell him that you do not appreciate him attempting to manipulate you by actuing whiny.

12:38 pm

man, you all are just the shot in the arm a gal needs!

12:38 pm

there's always McDonalds

12:38 pm

we are very supportive of each other

12:38 pm

remember that the movies are a great place to go on holidays because most of the obnoxious people are stuck at home with crazy inlaws!

12:38 pm

or give him a list of the people you know invited him!

12:39 pm

hahaha yes! perfect, nrkii

12:39 pm

Under no circumstances let him engage you in debate. If necessary screen calls. Just tell him you're not responsible for him and if he acn't figure out something for himself that's just too bad.

12:39 pm

hello babbleites

12:39 pm

hi feather!

12:39 pm

DO NOT ENGAGE. That just makes one miserable and it's what he wants.

12:40 pm

Hi feather!

12:40 pm

glad you will get maid service, monkey -- wish they had that in the states... but of course I would have to clean before a maid could be of any use. *sigh* two more weeks, then I am done with school and can start to do all the things I couldn't over the summer. Providing, of course, the hip stays in place.

12:40 pm

hi feather! half day?

12:40 pm

feeling better already. no more intelligent, but better

12:40 pm

day off.

12:40 pm

Don't know if I'll get it, and it would be an hour or two a week since I have a healthy husband, but I have asked for it!

12:40 pm

i hate holidays sometimes.

12:40 pm

*loving my caller ID and call blocking*

12:40 pm

g in there! 8 weeks on my end, exactly same story, Stid.

12:41 pm

(((((feather))))) I am sorry... haircut not so good?

12:41 pm

lol, nah, haircut was fine. my turn for babble group therapy i think!

12:41 pm

Aww, trif, you're perfectly intelligent-- you're just sensitive and a nice person too. DOn't let him take advantage of that.

12:41 pm

yes Monkey --- WE CAN DO IT!!!!

12:41 pm

every year, we eat dinner at mom's house at 11:30, then have to rush naps and turn around and go to dad and stepmom's at 2.

12:42 pm

well, whine away...

12:42 pm

*gasp* you don't!

12:42 pm

You KNOW we can, Stid!

12:42 pm

ah feather, you just have to learn what my brother learned years ago...

12:42 pm

feather that is a lot to do in one day, espec, with small children

12:42 pm

you can't do one on Thursday and one on Friday?

12:42 pm

the parents of the grandchildren make the rules, not the grandparents

12:42 pm

we were going to do brunch at my mom's this year. until i realized that she was still having a turkey dinner...without us...and started feeling weepy about it.

12:43 pm

just called mom, our turkey dinner is back on. however, now i need to deal wiht calling dad and saying that we'll be there for dessert only.

12:43 pm

Ouch, Feather. Almost makes me glad to have no family outside the house here... and of course Thanksgiving is not a holiday here either...

12:43 pm

*attempt at being helpful* we don't "do" holidays with extended family any more. Too much hassle. We have quiet time at home instead.

12:43 pm

we

12:43 pm

i would love to do that stid, but i still want to do things wiht my mom. so have to be "fair" to dad.

12:43 pm

oh gee feather... *worried mama look*

12:44 pm

we're at the point now where my parents and I go to my brother's mother-in-law's for thanksgiving, and my brother's in-laws come to my parents' house for easter

12:44 pm

why, feather? why do you "have" to be fair? what about being fair to you???

12:44 pm

back...and I can probably top you all...

12:44 pm

(without dismissing your dilemnas)

12:44 pm

Trif? You still there? Not on the phone letting him badger you?

12:44 pm

because they always lay a guilt trip on me.

12:44 pm

*nodding at nrk's solution* we did something similar with the parentals when our children were little.

12:44 pm

Let's hear it, Pink.

12:44 pm

it does get simpler eventually, but only when you start making the rules... and you can totally use the kids as an excuse

12:45 pm

i don't know nrk, it's harder when it's your mom vs. dad rather than inlaws

12:45 pm

I'll be spending my Thanksgiving with the turkey...

12:45 pm

my niece and nephew do the same, with my brother and his first wife

12:45 pm

they make the rules basically, because they're the ones everyone wants to see

12:45 pm

no no, still here. He doesn't call, really. I was foolishly looking for words in the grid

12:45 pm

...and all of those who are Babbling...

12:45 pm

The guilt trips is why we stopped going anywhere... and the craziness. Our parentals are not laid-back hosts, and I need more sanity.

12:45 pm

Oh, that's futile.

12:45 pm

i WANT to do stuff with mom, and would like to do stuff with dad, but wished i felt like they were more flexible. for pete's sake, my mom's already starting lunch at 11:30 for us!

12:46 pm

um... pini? which turkey? a human turkey?

12:46 pm

pini - I think I know someone you can spend Thanksgiving with....

12:46 pm

I mean what Trif said, not any later posts...

12:46 pm

so will I, pini. and even without a turkey

12:46 pm

OK, I think I have tried every combo but nothing works. Any hints for el 4/5 ?

12:46 pm

my stepmom has a son driving down from a few hours away, so it always has to be an early dinner to accomodate that

12:46 pm

Well, Pink, I'll be on... not even a holiday here.

12:46 pm

yeah, feather, I'd trade holidays with them... dad gets Christmas Eve, mom gets Thanksgiving, etc

12:46 pm

el + hello

12:46 pm

the turkey you eat...

12:46 pm

I'll be here, at least part of the time.

12:46 pm

who's that Trif?

12:47 pm

can't do that nrk, cause doug's brother gets christmas this year.

12:47 pm

Can I burst into tears and say I miss my grandfather now?

12:47 pm

i hate this.

12:47 pm

Easter then

12:47 pm

feather... do what you must tomorrow... and then consider what would make YOU and your precious children most comfortable and happy on the next holiday.

12:47 pm

or Superbowl Sunday

12:47 pm

sure monkey, you can cry with me. ((((hugs))))

12:47 pm

seriously, they have other people visiting... not like you're leaving them alone

12:47 pm

oh monkey... ((((hugs))))

12:47 pm

VERY good advice, Stid.

12:47 pm

thanks monkey... thought I'd tried that one!

12:48 pm

amen Stid

12:48 pm

sorry Monkey!!!

12:48 pm

I agree with nrkii - esp if the kids are little - no one wants a "vomiting child" at their holiday meal...oh, it looks like little barfy isn't feeling well, can we see you tomorrow? I am sure it is one of those 24 hour things....

12:48 pm

Thanks. I miss my grandmother more-- but at least I can talk to Sam.

12:48 pm

lol tri!

12:48 pm

st7 help please?

12:49 pm

Ata...the only reason I'm making a turkey (a whopping 9 pounder) is because it was on sale (for obvious reasons) and makes good leftovers...

12:49 pm

sorry for all of you with loss...

12:49 pm

st7 what holds a flower up and male offspring

12:49 pm

that's true... I am glad you can. I can't talk with my grandmother any more even though her body is alive, she is alert for only a few minutes a day. And those minutes are unpredictable.

12:49 pm

thanks peri -- would not have found that one!

12:49 pm

I am not kidding featherbee, I am totally serious. A little white lie never hurt anyone

12:49 pm

thanks for the st7

12:49 pm

yw

12:50 pm

i know tri, but i just can't do that...i'd yet again feel too guilty.

12:50 pm

Oh ouch, Stid. My husband is going through that with his grabndfather. Walter is named after him... something we could do for him before he wouldn't notice anymore.

12:50 pm

I have pulled the "kids have a cold coming on" routine once or twice. usually to ditch school and do something more important though...

12:50 pm

yes, thanks

12:50 pm

Thank you, aslind, ytou're sweet.

12:50 pm

daniel does have a cold though......

12:50 pm

I think you need to put your needs in the mix too, feather - said most gently....

12:50 pm

brb I need fooooooood

12:50 pm

*stamping feet AND stern mama look* feather! what are you teaching your children?!?

12:51 pm

Well said gently, Trif, and sternly, Stid.

12:51 pm

your children need to learn how to gently and firmly assert their own needs and rights. YOU are the only role model they have for that!

12:51 pm

feather, I'd tell them the truth... it's too hard to do two in one day, so next year you're going to start alternating holidays

12:51 pm

period

12:51 pm

they will still love you

12:51 pm

i'm going to do this. say to dad "plans got changed, we can't do the brunch at mom's house. so we're doing turkey there. then we're coming home for naps, and we'll be at your house after naps. don't hold dinner for us."

12:52 pm

That is a GOOD plan, feather.

12:52 pm

There you go, Feather. Nobody can expect you to be two people!!!

12:52 pm

now it's getting up the courage to call.

12:52 pm

excellent plan!

12:52 pm

feather, you are a good mom, and a good daughter.

12:52 pm

sounds like a plan to me, feather

12:52 pm

you can do it, feather!

12:52 pm

*standing next to feather so she can make the call*

12:52 pm

Feather: Dinner at Mom's; Dessert at Dad's / Next year: Light brunch at Mom's; Dinner at Dad's...

12:52 pm

no, i'm a weepy, guilty, wishy washy daughter. however, i just can't do both.

12:53 pm

go girl go

12:53 pm

I don't like making phone calls...

12:53 pm

feather, you can't always please everyone

12:53 pm

can't call right now, gotta wait till my mood is more settled.

12:53 pm

yeah, i've heard that mentioned before peri. usually in relation to me trying to be everywhere at once.

12:53 pm

If I've learned anything from my therapist...you need to do what is best for you and be able to tell others what you want.

12:54 pm

sending positive vibes to feather to keep her calm and centered

12:54 pm

Deep breaths. You can do this. Certainly wait until you're well grounded.

12:54 pm

feather, you have to be selfish on behalf of your family!

12:54 pm

okay, well I absolutely MUST shower and get dressed. It takes me longer than normal the last couple days... so I will be back later. Feather, do you want to drop me a note once you have made the call?

12:54 pm

meaning your husband and kids

12:54 pm

*handing feather a cup of cocoa to soothe nerves*

12:54 pm

sure will stid.

12:54 pm

and what Pini said... take care of you!

12:54 pm

Bye Stid! Hang in there, keep me informed, and Take Care Of Yourself!!!!

12:54 pm

thank you everyone. ((((((hugs)))))))

12:54 pm

*thinking feather should sometimes be selfish on behalf of herself, too...*

12:54 pm

ou never know - your new plan might be welcomed Yy your Dad too!

12:55 pm

okie dokie, then it's settled. The west coast will soon be much less aromatic and ....

12:55 pm

TMI? rofl...

12:55 pm

(((hugs all))) *poof*

12:55 pm

lol stid, see you later

12:55 pm

i'm going to immerse myself in the grid for a little while, calm my nerves.

12:55 pm

back

12:55 pm

And I must go temporarily and sort out a Light Bulb Crisis. Then I should be back for a few minutes before my husband appears with the New Episode of House...

12:56 pm

I'm going to go grab a quick late lunch... bbs

12:58 pm

He already appeared with the episode but when confronted with the sorted light bulb box (gift from the family of a little old lady who hoarded things and has now moved to assisted housing), has gone back up with an energy saver bulb to see if it lives yet.

12:58 pm

58 left, bbs

12:59 pm

I have 83 left and it's going to stay that way. After finding the 11 yesterday without clues I don't care how I do today anyway.

12:59 pm

hello everybody

Oh wow, there's a bottle of prescrption nose drops in this box...

1:00 pm

jacq jacq jacq, if you ever decide to get a rose tat up and down your spine, I'll design it for you! Roses and spines are my speciality :P

Hi jacq!

1:00 pm

hey |Monkey

1:02 pm

hey nance

hey jacq

hi a ll what's up?

1:06 pm

hi TO!

hey owl - nothing much is going on here in north carolina - how about in your area?

1:06 pm

beautiful tat Ata

1:07 pm

I'm back, with a fluffernutter sandwich and a glass of chocolate milk

1:07 pm

that was the first one I ever did, I still love it

1:09 pm

what the heck is "fluffernutter"???

1:09 pm

sacrilege!

1:09 pm

hi TO

1:09 pm

fluffernutter = Fluff + peanut butter... Fluff is a marshmallow cream product from the Northeast

1:10 pm

* cringing * I guess so, nrk...sure don't have it out here!!!

1:10 pm

We do have GooberJelly tho!!!

1:10 pm

(which is 'ok' in small doses)

1:10 pm

it's lovely in an artificial-100%-sugar sort of way!

1:10 pm

Fluff is way better than regular marshmallow creme (like Kraft)

1:11 pm

trust us easties then - It's heaven between 2 slices of bread

1:11 pm

my mom used to ship it to me when I lived in California

1:11 pm

i did it! i did it!

1:11 pm

now Ata, it has egg whites in it too...

1:11 pm

I bring loads of it over to ireland, like contraband....

1:11 pm

YAY feather! how did it go?

1:11 pm

everything's all hunky dory!

1:11 pm

yay feather! rock on!

1:11 pm

oh ok, 98%-sugar then :P

1:12 pm

98, 99... who's counting? :)

1:12 pm

SUCH a self-esteem babble workshop today!

1:12 pm

dad was totally fine with it! i said about how things got switched, and that with the boys being sick with colds i really wanted to make sure they got their naps, so we'd be up after naps. he said, ok, that's fine, we may have to start without you then. i said, ok, that's fine with me if it's fine with you!!!

1:12 pm

then he said it might actually work out better because my stepmom was trying to figure out how to seat everyone.

1:13 pm

see?

1:13 pm

* major sigh of relief * weed...good for you!!!!

1:13 pm

they still love you!

1:13 pm

ok, yeah yeah.... lol!

1:13 pm

I'm glad you'll be able to spend time with them, feather...

1:14 pm

okay continuing my tutorial on FLUFF, it is also amazing in hot chocolate

1:14 pm

anticipation is *always* the worst. when you ask people something sensible, it usually works out ok!

1:15 pm

FLUFF? is that the belly button by-product?

1:15 pm

you eat that??????

1:15 pm

ewww!

1:16 pm

could be worse i suppose, it could be marmite flavoured

1:16 pm

what is "marmite"?

1:16 pm

uhoh here we go ....

1:16 pm

really thick viscous liquid poop

1:17 pm

liquid tar

1:17 pm

ewwwwwwwww ... gross!!!

1:17 pm

salty as hell, it's a waste product from breewers yeast

1:17 pm

I think I'm glad I don't know about such things...

1:17 pm

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

1:17 pm

that was the Boss

1:17 pm

ew ew ew marmite is horrid

1:17 pm

he eats that cr*p

1:17 pm

i agree Ata

1:18 pm

It sounds like what might be found in the bottom of a spittoon!

1:18 pm

Any hints for am 5 and am 6?

1:18 pm

Marmite rocks!!!

1:18 pm

Fluff also makes lovely s'mores....

1:18 pm

YUCK!!!!

1:18 pm

nick woke up, had to go get him. thank you all again! will bbl.

1:18 pm

am 5/6 sounds like what you make to say sorry

1:18 pm

am and sounds like the things on the side of your head

1:18 pm

smores mmmmmmmmmmmmmm

1:18 pm

can you toast fluff tho?

1:19 pm

I have the stuff for S'mores as we speak!!!

1:19 pm

what in the name of the wee man is smores?

1:19 pm

no, you can't toast fluff, but you can nuke the cracker and choc, and then add the other cracker with fluff on it

1:19 pm

the belly button by-product can be toasted, briased and even bbq'd

1:19 pm

smores are gorgeous and 100% sugar too. Graham crackers sandwiched with chocolate and toasted marshmallows

1:19 pm

S'mores are graham crackers on either side of a toasted marshmellow with chocolate...

1:19 pm

and a graham cracker is?????

1:20 pm

Check this out: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smore

1:20 pm

think digestive biscuit. ish. but sweeter

1:20 pm

and this is where it breaks down - trust me, i ahve tried to explain this in ireland a million times. There is NO cultural equivalent for a graham cracker

1:20 pm

ooooooooh, sounds sweet and nice

1:20 pm

graham cracker is a honey-ish flavoured biscuit

1:20 pm

now i want chocolate

1:20 pm

sweetmeal digestives?

1:21 pm

Trif...I use spreadable chocolate frosting (from the tub) instead of a candy bar...it doesn't fall out!!!!

1:21 pm

hobnobs?

1:21 pm

ok... jac q I had that one... and Tri... I don't get it.

1:22 pm

ok lindy, sorry

1:22 pm

jacq - imagine a square digestive biscuit, but a bit thicker, and sweeter and honey-ish

1:22 pm

square hobnob?

1:22 pm

lol

1:22 pm

thanks for trying though

1:22 pm

nope, no bits like in hobnobs :D

1:23 pm

if you spread a digestive with a very thin layer of runny honey, you;d get pretty much exactly the same taste

1:23 pm

ok, thank god i hate hobnobs

1:23 pm

maybe a graham cracker is a bit like very dry, thin honey-ish cake.

1:23 pm

amens

1:23 pm

sowwy

1:23 pm

who was Graham though?

1:24 pm

See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graham_cr acker

here is the best easy dessert , icebox cake. layer graham crackers with cooked choco pudding (use my-t-fine brand) - crumble crackers on top refrigerate and serve with homemade whipped cream.

1:24 pm

lindy change the last letter of thatplural i typed

1:24 pm

that is sooooo a good one, TO...

1:25 pm

easy for kids to make

1:25 pm

ah, thank you!

1:25 pm

no kidding about the chocolate jaq - I just went and raided secondo's candy bag....

1:25 pm

yw

1:25 pm

that's been bugging me for an hour

1:25 pm

that assumes one can get chocolate pudding mix :P

and easy! if you feel adventurous, can alternate vanilla and choco

1:25 pm

lol i have a box of thorntons mint selection in the kitchen

1:26 pm

ata - I will send you a box if you send me some bextartars

1:26 pm

I had to buy candy today... Andes mints. Yum!

1:26 pm

(chocolate and mint)

ata i will mail you some! pudding for us is custard if anyone does not know. pudding mix is very easily made from scratch - cocoa, cornstarch, sugar

1:26 pm

bextartars ?

1:26 pm

bextartars? O.O

1:26 pm

Andes are good, as!!!

1:26 pm

okay, okay - no need to flash me!

1:26 pm

1:27 pm

i bought 2. they came to over $2.

1:29 pm

bextartar is a cooking ingredient I need to make my fave scone recipe, and it is not available here. I usually buy it in Dublin, maybe it is an Irish thing?

1:29 pm

oh! cream of tartar?

1:30 pm

or ask Haz, she's over there

1:30 pm

1:30 pm

Cream of tartar - let me look.

1:31 pm

1:31 pm

1:44 pm

1:45 pm

hi TO - not usually here this time - avoiding other tasks!

1:45 pm

and lynxx.....and other addicts

1:46 pm

aslindy...lot's who play here played there before...

1:46 pm

i was a tangler too

ugh. i ate half a bag of honey wheat pretzels...

1:46 pm

I especially liked the 30-second rooms... very quick games, with 40 seconds between rounds.

1:46 pm

nods, decent recovery

1:46 pm

...there are still a number of places to play same (i.e., scramble on FB, serpentine on cobra; etc.)...

1:47 pm

1:47 pm

1:48 pm

finished the q's thanks to morewords, where I HATE to go, but get driven by desperation....

1:49 pm

better than constant begging when the grid is large imho

1:49 pm

evening all

1:49 pm

all the q's start with the first four letters

1:50 pm

then you just build up from there....and then down for the last word

1:50 pm

I use A to Z as I go

oooh - boss letting us go home YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!! see you later! *poof*

Going there now, Ata!

1:53 pm

this grid is enough to confuzzle anyone!

1:53 pm

1:54 pm

nerty

1:55 pm

ooop

1:55 pm

okay, now add a consonant to the end of the 4, to make the 5. Add a vowel on to the 5 to make the 6, then make it plural for the 7, then drop the last vowel for the 6

1:55 pm

yay! quite a few babblers are around playing scramble - rolin and bookdoctorgwen are brilliant. especially gwen

1:56 pm

2:01 pm

2:01 pm

I like the 5x5 social room on scramble. it's great cos you can show off finding babblets and people are really impressed

2:01 pm

I don't care much for wordscraper...(it's the replacement for scrabulous, right)

2:01 pm

me too Ata!!!

2:01 pm

NCIS is on, will only be paying half an attention

2:02 pm

Pini, I'm on facebook as Nancy Kienzler

2:02 pm

Have you ever seen Zao play??? (I think that's how you spell his name)

2:02 pm

Adding you, nrk ;)

Hi very briefly. We had NCIS last night. Accidentally ate lunch with one of the actresses, kind of, last summer.

2:03 pm

I hated wordscraper the first time I played it, but now that Feather set up a grid that is exactly like the scrabble board, I'm happy with it

2:03 pm

Pini and nrkii, I am on Facebook as Michele Alperin.

2:03 pm

adding you, too, peri!! =)

2:04 pm

Pini, make sure you include your babble name.

2:07 pm

2:07 pm

2:07 pm

Don't reject me please!

2:07 pm

She actually has (the actress I mean) master's degrees in something like forensic anatomy and criminology, or very like that, I've heard.

2:07 pm

bye nrkii

2:08 pm

woot woot...gotta lov mail!!!

2:08 pm

bye nrkii

What happened was... I had never seen the show. Walter and I were trying to find a table at a restaurant at the airport coming back from seeing my grandfather in California. We were at the bar, the only empty area, and teh fellow there said no 4-year-olds at the bar, which is of course reasonable. So I ordered our food and we cast about for somewhere else, and saw this lady at a table. I asked if we coudl sit there and she said of course, and was for the next while extremely gracious about Walter (3 1/2 at the time) continually handing her mustard and menus and stuff. Then we all left to our separate flights, I flew with a toddler for 15 hours, I put him to bed, we turned on the TV and decoided to check out this show, and THERE she was!

2:09 pm

how the heck do you spell that word for japanese cartoons, an********* and is it in the grid? I am having brain freeze today lol

2:09 pm

2:10 pm

ok I was spelling it right then, I thought I was losing my mind lol

Yeah, it was pretty cool. I thought she was really interesting at the airport. I'm still not sure if it beats the time I was face to face with Rutger Hauer on a bicycle for a few minutes, though.

2:10 pm

That was four and something years ago. I was walking toward downtown Amsterdam, he (who IS Dutch and lives there) was bicycling (as all Dutch people do) away from downtown. We stood at opposite red lights at a crossing, about 3meters apart, for three minutes or so.

3:26 pm

3:26 pm

Howdy, Haz. Family all fed?

3:26 pm

Dad grew up there

3:26 pm

Oh gosh, jacq - you don't need to go to a cinema and pay for that... You get it free all day every day on chat!

3:44 pm

I don't try and meet them! It just happens! I met them in restaurants, at street corners ...

3:44 pm

3:45 pm

I'm not sure he'd appreciate female hands all over him

3:45 pm

LOL

3:45 pm

I didn't think you minded what HE appreciated!

(thinks you have to behave)

3:45 pm

Anyone prepared to listen to his singing would probably be OK ata

3:46 pm

who's got the joy of cooking?

3:46 pm

I get the feeling he loves being loved.

3:46 pm

the book, not merely the feeling.

3:46 pm

awww his singing is lovely. bless.

3:46 pm

I have more of the joy of eating, hursh.

3:46 pm

and no one loves him more than himself

3:46 pm

i have the joy of sex, is that any use?

I had the joys of working in Queen of the Damned and Stewart Townsend meeting. I managed not to be a fan geek but it did help that he was being a complete tosser

3:47 pm

Sex and eating are both much more joyful than cooking, in my opinion.

3:47 pm

lol lady

3:47 pm

i don't think sex ever produces oatmeal molasses bread, jacq, so, no...

3:47 pm

it might, but god it would chaffe

3:47 pm

Good grief it really is a night of confessions jac

3:47 pm

lol

3:47 pm

Please may I point out a proper noun? First prime minister of India.

3:47 pm

lol

3:48 pm

shouldn't you have waited for affirmation before saying the proper noun?

3:48 pm

i left my copy home and was hoping someone could verify the quantities of ingredients for me...

3:48 pm

google it hurshy

3:48 pm

Should I? Let me consult the rule book.

What do recipe do you need?

3:48 pm

i think haz's mistake was asking... you gotta say, name that proper noun!

3:48 pm

well if you *ask*

3:48 pm

LOL

3:48 pm

the oatmeal molasses bread one

3:48 pm

etiquette a la babble

3:48 pm

HI ALL how you doing Katie? one month and you will have sun

3:48 pm

I was being too polite? That's not like me.

3:49 pm

Katie is profoundly grateful that the sentence does not read - one month, you will have son.

3:49 pm

LOL

3:49 pm

i thought of googling but then thought as it is a book they sell, its contents might not be available. however, i will check, if nobody has a copy handy.

3:49 pm

My Joy of Cooking has nothing in the index about that hurshy. Any idea what it's called?

3:50 pm

{{{{Diem}}}} it's three weeks on Sunday, not that we are counting of course :-) How are you and yours?

3:50 pm

Lol Haz I most certainly am

Hurshy I will have a look for you now. I think i am on the right pathe

3:50 pm

i checked my copy of joy of sex, strangely enough it doesn't have that recipe either

3:50 pm

*notes that jacq keeps her copy handy*

Hurshy is is the Steel Cut Oat Bread?

3:51 pm

Here's stell-cut oat breat that involves molasses...

3:51 pm

lol

VIC i have the TINY URL

3:51 pm

(Don't want to know what involves molasses in jacq's book.)

3:51 pm

If someone gave a hint for the 2 li 8,45, please repost. I had someone come to the door.

3:51 pm

also note that it was obviously written by a selfish arrogant man, it's all about his joy

3:51 pm

I'll let you handle this than, herinfernal!

http://tinyurl.com/6dloo3

3:52 pm

plural of the straight thing and not ladies

I just found it at the same time. Thought it may save you typing

3:52 pm

When I was at Uni one of the students has a copy her mum gave her. It was the whole beard thing that was off putting

3:52 pm

it probably doesn't appear in older editions

well, here is you forgetful babbler member - came back with a piece of pumpkin pie with whipped cream - but, i am back. lol

3:59 pm

Shocked. Again. Someone babbling when there are dishes to be done.

4:00 pm

I can't believe such behaviour!!

4:00 pm

Poor Haz. She spends her life so shocked that her hair is standing up in a frizz and you can see her skeleton.

4:00 pm

I would have thought wearing rubber dishwashing gloves all the time would have prevented some of those shocks, but apparently not...

HUrshy: http://www.recipelink.com/mf/2/12572

4:01 pm

And I get steam coming out of my ears as well. It's not a good look.

4:01 pm

Exciting, though.

4:01 pm

'sok herin, i just found it on http://www.tinyeranch.com/2008/07/oatm eal-molasses-bread.html

4:01 pm

apparently George Clooney rated 9 1/2 out of 10 in bed

4:02 pm

by people who actually know???

4:02 pm

How do you know this ata?

4:02 pm

Who did the rating?

4:02 pm

how rude of them to kiss and tell.

4:02 pm

re7 please

4:02 pm

Haz, is this consistent with your assessment?

4:02 pm

kissing and telling is never a classy thing

4:03 pm

re7 - kind of a coming back in again

4:03 pm

Lisa Snowdon said. In the News of the World

4:03 pm

only 9 1/2?

Brillant hursh

4:03 pm

I never comment on these types of stories.

4:03 pm

Clue for ye6?

4:03 pm

Ah well, as jacq said you weren't a lady, I thought you might...

4:04 pm

the palace guard from the princess bride, except with double E instead of double L

4:04 pm

ye6 - ye plus a backward Egyptian waterway

4:04 pm

Lisa snowdon dated him about 15 years ago, she still goes on about it!

4:04 pm

ye 6 I have a f****g that this grid is a bit harder than it looks

4:04 pm

Jacq babbles with dirty dishes still to be done. I don't know that we can treat her assessment with any accuracy.

4:04 pm

Thanks

4:05 pm

4:05 pm

*casts a nervous eye in the direction of the sink*

4:05 pm

jacq babbles with dirty dishes because the Boss is in bed already lol

4:05 pm

4:05 pm

4:24 pm

lol Vicuna

4:24 pm

hi Pini

4:24 pm

ty ty ty

4:24 pm

re 5/12+ I w*** to the store yesterday

4:24 pm

The store mixed "fresh" turkeys with the "frozen" and said if you buy $50 worth of groceries, you get the turkey at $0.52 / lb...

4:25 pm

Suffice it to say, I bought a 10# turkey for $22 friggin' bucks...

4:25 pm

ew ew ew turkey

4:25 pm

...and they won't honor the mixup in their meat dept.

4:25 pm

has anyone seen the commercial on TV with the lady fighting with that huge turkey and it ends up flying out of her hands and knocking out her hubby who is out in the yard?

Thats ok if its not frozen? Its frozen isn't it?

4:25 pm

No, it's a "fresh" one...

4:26 pm

its thawed and is so darn funny

4:26 pm

apparently, the "deal" was for the "frozen" ones

4:26 pm

I hope it's a *really* good turkey, though!

Ok. SO you could cut it in half and freeze half and take the legs off for pterodactyl legs.

No Melaie i haven't.

4:26 pm

I hope so, too...since I'll be eating it by myself...

4:26 pm

I hate holidays

4:27 pm

oh Pini I would go fight tooth and nail with them and make them, make it right

Pini what about off loading it at chrissy?

4:27 pm

I tried...just spoke with 3 people...all said I was SOL

4:28 pm

call corporate

Ok so my math is really poo but is that expensive for turkey?

4:28 pm

was that at winco?

4:28 pm

what's SOL?

4:28 pm

I don't have anyone to offload it at chrissy either

4:28 pm

Yes, Mel

4:28 pm

sorry out of luck?

4:28 pm

So glad Ata asked.

4:28 pm

SOL = S*** outta luck!

4:29 pm

ohhhhh

Pini all i can think off is helping a local church with some off it

4:29 pm

Pini, if you don't want it, give it to a soup kitchen!

4:29 pm

Pini go back and ask for a managet I have fought with them before over stuff, and when I asked for a manager they made it right

SNAP UNE

4:29 pm

last year we served 20 turkeys!

4:30 pm

hey, herin :-)

4:30 pm

It's not that I don't want it...it's the fact that I would NEVER have paid that much for a turkey to eat by myself without the "deal".

4:30 pm

no! the deal was misleading, they should make it right

4:30 pm

Hi Une :0

4:30 pm

I spoke with the manager, mel...he's even a friend (our dau's played sports together)...he said he couldn't do anything about it.

4:30 pm

exactly my point!

4:31 pm

that reminds me, Tesco's charged me £4 for a pack of cereal a few days ago, I must sort that out

4:31 pm

hey, mymuse! good to see you!

4:31 pm

Ah well. Tescos.

4:31 pm

things very expensive here ... 12 lb fresh turkey cost me $36

4:31 pm

it just makes me feel like tmw will be even more "lonley"...T-day alone...

4:31 pm

we're stuffed here though, it's tesco's or the co-op, and the co-op hardly has any stuff in it

4:32 pm

...oh, I do have my dog...but he can't do much to help with that.

I donate to a chrismas tree thing most years when i have money. i did work at the local soup kitchen but there was one person that i couldn't stand being near (think closer to killing him ever time i saw him (i lived next door to him) I had to stop working there

Pini We love you

4:32 pm

dang I am getting to the point where I am close to not shopping at winco, did you know if you leave the store with aproduct they claim they cannot take it back? well how the heck you suppose to know if its spoiled unless you take it home and open it?

4:32 pm

it could be worse, pini--looks like we'll be spending it with my mom in the hospital

4:32 pm

thanks herin...

OH Uni. hugs

4:33 pm

sorry to hear about your Mom Une, she ok?

4:33 pm

Actually, it's worse, une...my parents are local (in the same town)...

4:33 pm

ohhh Uni ((((HUGS)))

4:33 pm

My 10 lb turkey was about $6.00 at the local Kroger store, if you bought $10 of groceries in addition.!!!

4:33 pm

Pini! Ohmygosh, how awful!

4:34 pm

thanks for the hugs :-)

OH i have had the most awesome Idea for a Christmas present. Instead of buying a hamper (with a wicker basket that no one seems to use) buy a shopping hamper that you can take to the store and stuff with home made goods.

Pini I am sorry about the lack of family issue. Hugs. Hi INge

4:35 pm

((((Pini)))) so sorry ...

4:36 pm

thx all...I just needed a moment; I probably shouldn't have said anything...

4:36 pm

I need to move to Michigan Inge ... but too cold for me lol

4:36 pm

I do that for my parents every year, herin

4:36 pm

hey, Inge! my UMich child is leaving tonite for Tgiving with her boyfriend and his family in NC

4:36 pm

hush pini, sometimes things need to be said

PIni sometimes it helps to have a la la

4:36 pm

better to talk about it than keep it in Pini

4:36 pm

Can't wait for MY visit with them at Xmas!

4:36 pm

so true, Pini

Ata i am looking at doing that for the b.fs parents this year.

(wont get to see my rentals this year as i flocked up the date)

4:38 pm

is this te7 a fish?

4:38 pm

Just so you don't think I'm a terrible woos; there's so much more to the "family" thing around here (or lack thereof since they're all alive and nearby)...

4:39 pm

...so I guess the turkey fiasco was just the icing on the cake for today.

Understand Pini

4:39 pm

pini, families can and often do hurt us in ways no other can, you're not a woose

4:39 pm

te7 athletic shoes

4:39 pm

Think Federer and Nadal

4:39 pm

te7 - looks like the game played at Wimbledon with an extra vowel inserted before the end.

4:40 pm

aaah thanks Une and Haz

4:40 pm

howdy, haz :-)

4:40 pm

yw :-)

4:40 pm

...sometimes I just with my unconditionally loving dog could talk with me - it's the "family" I have that I've learned doesn't share the same type of unconditional love.

4:40 pm

Hello Une.

4:40 pm

Dang it...I've said way too much...

PIni Family are who you choose

4:41 pm

...it wasn't my intent to taint my experience here in Babbleland...this is an outlet for me. So, thanks for your understanding, patience, and open ear.

4:41 pm

nods, i agree with lady, you can have a better closer relationship with friends and they become family

4:41 pm

go for it, pini! we all do it!

4:42 pm

...and I consider THIS family, herin...

4:42 pm

so thanks to all of you!

4:42 pm

I think that happens more often than we realize . . . am closer to friends than most of my family (except my mom and daughter)

is sobrien on

4:42 pm

No pur.

4:43 pm

***sees the flying mokeys in the distance***

thx

My mum doesn't understand why my b.f isn't close with his family

4:43 pm

oodle LOL!

hi pini

4:44 pm

(waiting for the age question to come up)

4:44 pm

I know why I'm not close to my previously close family... but I'll save that for some other time (nothing I did)... that makes it even tougher sometimes.

4:44 pm

hi puru

4:48 pm

the what?

4:48 pm

never mind! :-)

4:48 pm

my mother is completely mad. She has Moments

4:49 pm

They say there's a fine line between madness and genius. It must be the in5/10 Einstein coming out.

4:49 pm

i am getting fed up with the puzzle already

4:50 pm

this is the same mother who told me I could have looked nice on my wedding day if I'd bothered to lose weight, and then was truly completely clueless when I wouldn't talk to her!

4:50 pm

*about why I wouldn't talk to her

4:50 pm

wow Ata

4:50 pm

suffice to say, I am used to her foibles!

5:15 pm

lol Haz -- this is a fun one -- making a brag bag to take golfing.

5:15 pm

it's meant to appease my sister, who does not like the texture of pumpkin pie, but loves cheesecake - a bit of both

Wonders how pumpkin and chocolate go together

5:15 pm

Happy Thanksgiving, USA :)

5:15 pm

5:17 pm

bye all

5:17 pm

i meant to ask all the aussies on here if they are Waifs fans?

5:17 pm

ok gotta finish house..bbs...bye cyber

I am not

5:17 pm

Waifs??

5:17 pm

on purpose, as in you hate them, or just because you don't know of them?

5:18 pm

the Waifs are just about my favorite band, and they are from oz

hey, my lil bro Puruestinks2008 is trying to log in, but when he hits it, it comes back to this home, without him logged in, anyone know anything on this topic?

ande hey trifoso, annie, and cj

5:18 pm

okay, I thought Waifs was similar to the children's Wiggles...

5:18 pm

yes. he was being uber annoying, so I think DrG flushed him

5:19 pm

iuman - I e-mailed Dr-G about him, he was being a nuisance and behaving like a troll.

5:19 pm

hello uman

I know them Trifs but I haven't got into them. Love love love CLaire Bowditch and The Cat empire

ok, how was he doing that?

5:19 pm

hey there uma! DO NOT ask me a computer query today, as the gods are clearly angry with me - had to reinstall the os on my laptop this morning, and lost every single thing on it....boooooo

5:19 pm

yeah, like that

5:19 pm

and no, Annie, the Waifs are absolutely brilliant - check them out sometime, you will be so glad you did

that was not me on purpose! sry bout that, didnt know it would do that

5:20 pm

Check back in the log. Multiple entries of nothing, multiples enquiries about sobrien being on.

my enter key gets mammed sometimes

Wow batting 100 there. Who want to take this to Dr G

Trifs I love Claire Bowditch but i am bias as i know her personaly

ok, thanks everyone for wat happened... ill try to get him to stop

5:21 pm

My suggestion is that puruestinks isn't really ready for this type of game or this type of chat log. Shouldn't he be supervised better?

5:21 pm

hmmm. I met one of the waifs once, and we chatted for a bit, and I grinned for about a week. But then, I am a totally geek, so there you go

sry, i thought he was just getting the words... but its not your business whether he is supervised or not Haz!

CLaire lived up the road from me

5:22 pm

actually, it is. we have to use this site

5:23 pm

that's so cool herin! I find I listen to the music differently when there is a personal connection

5:23 pm

Iuman...look at the chatbox log for that time you will see

Actually its called PARENTAL responsibility. Dog knows what pervs are online

5:23 pm

If his interest is in finding words, then tell him not to use the chat log.

Trifs : http://www.clarebowditch.com/

5:42 pm

omg, I am rolling - they are reporting on the news about the bag of tools the astronaut dropped the other day - apparently now there are web sites where you can track the bag of tools as it enters the earth's orbit, and even when it will pass over you. Oh, by all means, let's all run out and LOOK - geesh, with the way my luck has been lately, I'll get impaled by a plummeting plunger.

5:43 pm

ROFL Trif

5:43 pm

But rabbits do purr a bit, they growl, they "chitter" and grind their teeth (when happy or when in pain), and they thump.

5:43 pm

the best apple pudding in the world is the apple dumplings made by a very old very small Korean lady in Astoria, OR. She covers a whole apple in pastry and baskes it for goodness knows how long, and the whole thing just melts in the mouth

i know a few people i would like to have beaned with a hammer

5:43 pm

7:07 pm

lol tri!

7:08 pm

she is trying to bring the variety show back, since she grew up on them, as did a lot of us, and she misses them

it's just a variety show special from what i understand. a one time thing

7:08 pm

not sure herbee, i got the impression of sketch comedy

7:08 pm

I like her a lot

how can you like her? she's a crazy lady!

7:08 pm

i miss the carol burnett show

7:08 pm

7:10 pm

Oh, indeed, dcs. and the Hitler one, too

7:10 pm

oh, yes pam!

Does anyone remember Art Linkletter?

7:12 pm

Yes, nonnie. Mostly I remember his daughter died following a bad LSD trip....

7:12 pm

Or, at least that was what we were told growing up to discourage drug use

7:12 pm

I do! didn't he do kids say the darnedest things?

Yes, pam, that was sad. Yep, tri...I got the biggest kick out of that.

7:16 pm

i was going to help you narrow it down if you weren't, since i can't help with clues

7:16 pm

7:17 pm

oh, wait - there she does, and here comes some wicked tappers

7:19 pm

7:33 pm

um, pam, fun is not the word I choose to use when visiting my hubby's family - lol - but the wine helps!

7:34 pm

*wondering how much vino asg has imbibed*

but she had insisted I take it, as it was going to be the last time he taught it. imagine a 5 credit course in 8 weeks!

7:34 pm

oh there would not be enough wine!

7:34 pm

My hardest-earned C was for an advanced Fr Grammar class taught by a Prof in Latin as he was what we called pre-senile, but had tenure. I DID NOT SPEAK LATIN

7:34 pm

LOLOL, ASG!

LOL (((green)))

7:34 pm

7:34 pm

i never got a C

7:34 pm

LOLOLOLOLOL, feather

music, there are only 2 6/7 combos; sorry

you were very fortunate, kje

7:35 pm

LOLOL weed

7:35 pm

my sister in law lives in Alaska Feather- I can so relate to different perspectives

I did much better than C work, but when the prof doesn't like you .....

7:35 pm

I was miserable about it, kje!!!!!!!

7:35 pm

good clue, kje

7:37 pm

ty tyger I had them both on my word list

7:38 pm

while not a fan of the salmon skin, this other roll is heavenly... salmon, avocado, asparagus, and kampyo? (pickled plum) - OMG tasty

green, pardon my saying it this way, but I've never seen anybody do better passive-aggressive than some of your ethnicity :P

7:38 pm

the ones who emailed us to let us know what everyone else was making and bringing - and that we (me and Steve) are not responsible for ANYTHING?

7:38 pm

don't understand the up comes down re7 clue? thanks...

7:38 pm

the salmon & asparagus sound great

7:38 pm

asg - you just did too : )

7:38 pm

7:38 pm
