what do you mean 'get called' meaning someone got it?
ok i call it then lol, thx hug!
yep jnr
couldn't catch my breath long enough to call it, kaz
does that mean they have to give hints? lol

I'm not seeing anything, waaaa
yay - kitty has come in tonight - he has refused to come in the house for 2 or 3 weeks, just comes to the door for his food and a bit of cuddle
strange kitty, flosey!
no idea what got into him
or, perhaps, what offended him
indeed jilli, had never seen that happen before
or what attracted him?
some cats get moods, jilli. I've seen some strange behavior in cats who just took offense at something, who knows what
but when he came to the door for food, he acted as if he was suspicious of something or someone
my mother didn't like dogs. never found out before she died (I was too young to ask), but cats were permitted, so I had lots of cats
and my two closest friends are both cat lovers. dogs, too, but cats most
I love both
thanks tyger, good to know it isn't really that strange
I suppose jo7 was called?
I've had a couple of cats as an adult, but the last one was there when I got my first Dane, and she hid in the basement and wouldn't come out. I found her another home
yw, flosey
po8 woohoo
and never tried another
Good night, all!

cjmomma, your icon rocks!
*hugs Pini en ruru* How's today's grid?
I agree with th4 sprite
I'm over 1/2 way and no list yet! ;)
it is fun sprite... but makes me dizzy
woot Pini! So it is less complicated than yesterday's?
so far so good
dizzy, ruru? Too many doubles? :)
(I am slowing down a bit tho)
seeing double ...
how was yesterday's to you?
I needed help on about ten words...I had a hard time with it
lol thought that might be it, ruru. I feel hushed by this grid. In dutch, we don't say sh, but sssst.
ruru...are you done???
same here, ruru. Some words really eluded me. But in a way it was fun.
nope I have 44 to go pini
oooh just found an ma7
wtg hugs
gratz Hugs
actually it's ma6/7 combo
* looking *
I just had to type in potato to be absolutely sure it wasn't in.
I did the same thing too sprite
me, too!
lol, glad I am not the only one
taters isn't there either
* still looking for ma6-7 *
Pini - ma6 balls used in soup
I know the word...
I'm not sure if it's the correct spelling for it, but it sounds like it
... trying to figure out how to spell it ... I'm sure I'll get it! THX!!!
got 'em!
yay
oy!
Hi
hi herin
hello herin
hi
oy? ruru?
Hugs
ma 7
oy ?
hi again and hi sprite
hi jilli, love your icon story!
hi herin
ty sprite -- love your t-shirt!
:) I thought it was funny
cute Jill
ruru...did you get the ma7?
yes that is why I said oy!
Sprite I do like your t-shirt too
... ahhhhhh
*giggles* Oy as in happy exclamation, Pini. Thanks lady!
I don't know why people are finding this grid easy
so far it seems to flow, jilli, but I am not nearly done yet. Is it tough on you?
I just found an 8 in under 5 min
wtg lady
I guess it's just me
ahhh Vincent van Gogh is in tonight!
I slowed down when I was exactly halfway
thanks sprite i didn't look left
I did get NBT very quickly, but since then...ugh!
I couldn't get yesterday's going, jilli.
yw lady :)
I didn't have time for yesterday's
Neither did I jill
so far the words I'm finding are babblets and weirdos
to give you an indication: I used lickety's, a2z and some great clues from BabbleRabble.
I njust didn't ahve time to think
that's unusual for you, sprite! (But I like morewords better than a2z)
121 / 95 ... off to bed for me! Night all!!! cya tmw
funny, almost everybody does. But on morewords you have to know how long the word is to look it up. On a2z you can just try some starting letters and see what comes up and I like that.
well off to bed for me.. nite all good luck...see you tomorrow.. 39 to go in the am.
night Pini, well done and sleep peacefully!
same to you, ruru, sleep well and great going.
night ru
night, ruru
Good morning all....... Love the T shirt, sprite!
HI Lorie
well, I use morewords after I've got Lickety up so I know the length. A2z makes me dizzy!
hi Lorrie, and thanks!
Hi herin :)
hi lorrie
Hello again. Nice to see you supporting our local talent Lorrie
dame edna is hysterical
Hi jilli
or rather hysterically funny
why is the condo assoc having people snowblow at 3 in the morning
great choice of specs, lorrie!
ohhhhhh Dame Edna! I love love love her, possum.
I see we are all making a complete spectacle of ourselves today...
I know a Judge that wears Edna glasses
actually, sprite you don't need to know the length of the word in morewords... you can just use the first 2 or 3 letters then put an * after them, and then you can list the letters that aren't in the grid so those words won't appear
I don't use morewords..
wow, hugs, that's a much more sophisticated way to use morewords than the one I know!
i mean i know they want to help us be able to drive but it will not help if we crash because we are so sleepy
Because they are rude asshats Hursh. have you yelled out the window :: WHAT ARE YOU DOING
hursh they are out of their minds
asshats?
hey all
tries it in the grid...
Ru google it
LOL ruru!
I didn't even know that, Hugs. Will try it out next impossible grid.
they would not hear me if i yelled over the machine sound
HI Bfsog
some call them undies, ruru
hi bfsog
undies worn on the head?
hi bfsog
on the ass, jilli
hi bfsog
Go out there and piff a bucket of ice water on them
** note to self.. never make any noise outside of herin's house ***
i don't think the person doing the work has decided that now is the time to do it. i think someone told him to do it. and i think that person lives far away.
have you ever done a good deed but been penalised by 'karma'?
if you put a ^ then list the letters you don't need it really shortens the list of words that appear
he is probably from New york hursh
no good deed ever goes unpunished, bfsog
Ru i am a right bitch if you wake me up. In this house if you wake up the inhabitants before 12 on weekends be prepared to suffer
BFs what has happened?
ROFL herin
quite handy options, Hugs
i helped this woman get her bag down off a storage rack (thats the good deed) but the bag came off the rack fast and all its weight went onto my thumb which is now really sore
:(
that's not karma, that's gravity
we call those accidents bf not karma
lol hursh
awwww bfsog :( Doesn't make your deed any less good though. Perhaps you kept the woman from breaking her thumb and were yourself rewarded by a lesser injury?
lolol hursh
yeah coulda hit your head
well i was surronded by other passengers so i just yelled inside and put on a brave face!
What goes round, comes round bfsog. Your good deed will be rewarded
silly bfsog! You were meant to yell so others could get their good deed for the day in as well by helping you!
yeah... you won't get bumped from the plane on the way back..
i have badminton monday nights so im hoping its okay enough to play
Maybe the bag needed a sacrifice of some sort, our old couch needed blood once a month. Every months someone would hit there head on the over head bar
just don't hitchhike for a while
cool it well, bfsog.
sounds like a female couch to me, lady
or thumb up your nose at someone
heheh. That couch got piffed
sounds like a steven king type couch
all ready for xmas everyone?
not really planning much, but we must do the shopping so we can eat.
I am boycotting xmas this year
I just have to finish wrapping... everything's been purchased
Nearly
done
we don't do presents with Xmas, that is Sinterklaas (5th of Dec) for us Dutchies.
I finished wrapping today, Going to make some nibbles tomorrow but I busted my mixmaster.
darn, jilli :(
I hope I can do it with my hand mixer
damn it Jill that is so annoying
What do you need to do with it?
or maybe you have a neighbor who would let you borrow?
I would boycot it if I did not have young kids, ruru. I prefer the Midwinter feast.
rubber spatula got jammed between the beaters and bent them
Can you take the betters off the hand mixer and swap them over/
hursh, I thought of that but there is so much snow between our houses it might take all week to get there, lol!
beaters not betters
no, herin -- different makes, won't fit.
***lends jilli cuisinart and mixmaster ***
I wish, ruru!!!
hursh, your nephew is delightful and SO cute!
Damn that is annoying will you be able to replace them?
missing one g is there a gy word?
and fireworks.... and time to go. Goodnight everyone
gratz Hugs
and sleep well
Congrats Hugs!
hugs... welll done
thanks
I hope I can replace them but it's a VERY old machine
ruru do you have the ga4/9?
no ruru
YAY hugs!!!
they can be repaired jiiil
yes :) pumpkinboy very good :) made breakthrough with me on friday - moved beyond peekaboo as merely amusing bc of object permanence to understanding it as a game
yes
woooot hursh! Great to see them develop, isn't it!
my sister said he was generally just trying to say a lot more words and imitate a lot more all day, his brain must have just kicked it into high gear
ruru, I think there are still replacements -- I googled mixmaster beaters and some looked just the same. Must check the part numbers. But it will all take time -- even trying to find someone to rpair them, herin.
I hope you will get to see a lot of him during this stage, hursh. For both your sakes, lol.
well, we have the webcams, and that is how we were playing peekaboo. it is great
night you guys.. 35 left and I have to sleep..this game kills me... arrrrrrrrr
lol ruru, resleep well
except for the fact that sometimes he wants to pet my cats and can't through the screen...
night again ruru ;)
oh that's cute, hursh!
aw hursh. Will teach him about virtual reality real early in life though!
and he is so used to talking to us all on skype that sometimes if he's actually with us and you ask him where someone is, he looks toward the computer to see if they are there
lol hursh
Hursh that is cute
it should be a book - "things our ancestors never had to think about"
write it, hursh. I think it will become a best seller.
i dunno, it sounds like the kind of book i would pick up and read bits of while in the bookstore but never actually buy
not when you are the author, hun. It would be a very humoristic book.
id read it
:)
I hate these S words
stuck on my last one can anyone help with the ar 5/10 please , thanx
a town in france
ar + not more but ***s.
thanx guys got it
cool sandr
oh, that's what someone meant by "Van Gogh is in the grid"
st night you mean?
wow got my second wind. Slowed down nearing halfway point and then lots of words uncloaked!
indeed jilli and hursh
that too, hursh :)
i think massagy should be a word
looks good to me, hursh. What would it mean?
Fireworks!
I am hating this grid
gratz Merk
like, when my cat walks on my back, it feels massagy
YAY merk the lurk!
Congrats Merk!

Stranded at Chicago's Ohare, playing babble, and searching for flights home. Brrr ... it is so cold!

HI angel and Jor

Stupid t and S words
So funny the national news map has cut off florida, I think to make people feel better.
You serious Red?
Yes...
They panned in and completely did not show Florida, and parts of Texas.
wow. Attention USA to your left is Florida, We have left out Florida to make you feel better
It think its because we are unimpressive, infact having record type highs. but today it is only going to get toe 60's F.
-17°F Feels Like -34°F
Good Morning Babble, how is your hammock? I gots one here for you and the other rabbles.
HI Babble. Eva says Vermont its wind chill -25 F
no snow to rid the hammock of
It was 89 F out there today
oh my goodness..all this talk of cold when it is 36 degr centegrade here..............hello eveyrone
Hi Trisha
73 left! I feel I am making progress.
YAH red
H's completed. of all things.
that is 96.8 F
hiya..h.....lady
almost body temperature
Hi Babblers. Feeling better, red?
We ere at 8 yesterday but today is a different story.
NIce Trish
Actually a lot better Aloy! Still sleepy, could use another day off, but....luckily its a sing and short day.
LOL I meant 80
good to hear!
thanks for asking
Hi Aloy
hi herin.. eyeglasses..
Yes they are Eyeglass todays theme. These are Clarke Kent style
aha.. my sun is wearing contacts, lol
So the sun is being sun sensible?
tinted contacts.. (-:
good on the sun
sun must have heat-resistant contacts
exactly, BR.. happy Monday to you
morning all! Hope you had a happy solstice
bbbbbrrrr, hello everyone!
hi dan2.. yes, we celebrated the solstice
Hi Dan. and Annie!!!

Annie!! good morning
Happy Late Solstice Dan

lol, BR...
ra 6 -- convertable
derr its the 21st in the states isn't it?
thanks Aloy
BR it isnt over yet.
picky picky
I am sorry.
hi jamann
Its solstice the weather is going to turn colder for you lot and warmer for us
aha! ty, BR.. got the convertible clue
68 left this is so fast hen I use list after half way.
3/4 is my goal, and if I don't reach it, I officially declare the grid as TUFF
hello redturtlehead
I want to finish so I dont come home to it. I have an 8 hr shift today.
sorry BR, still not getting the convertible clue
hello everyo0ne
JMann, a car with a cloth roof.
hi sadie
HI Sadi and anyone i missed
Red you take care out there
I cant figure why they didnt include the stovepipe h***
yes, if time is of the essence, the heck with self-imposed limits.. do what ya gotta do to finish
ah, got it! thanks red and BR
morning eveyone,i am so buried in snow now that it made my earlier complaints about it a joke.got yet another foot of it last night:/
HI Crossie
highest order of angel(s) too
cross can you exit the house?
wow! morning, cross
hello, crosshair
out the window i can.....
TOp window work well in a second story house to play snow angels
crossy, I can still see the top of your head barely
may have to do it that way as all my exit doors open outwards...
be careful cross, if you make a snow angel you might get fined by the football league in the US for unsportsman like behavior!
I hate snow im nice and toasty
shasta is a daisy, must be a proper word
crossy gives herin the evil eye....
I thought so too Aloy...
yes, it is a daisy...i tried it twice
Hey you choose to live in snow
oh well..
sa 6 == add drinking water is a ****ble
and I thought stata was pl. of status, but nooo
STATA is a horrid computer language that processes statistics.
ooh, didn't know that red
yay, got BR's clue, tyvm BR
there is too many S words for my little confuddled brain
I am not exactly sure people should have 18 children...story on nes about the duggars.
you say potato, i say potata
I cant imagine 18 children..my grandmother had eleven and my parents had only one..me
That reminds me of the saying 'There was a little old woman that lived in a shoe, she had so many children her uterus fell out , plop
LOL
AND the kids all have J names
wife watches them on tv and that one bout the sextuplets and twins.i think its insane to have 18 kids
lol, hadn't heard that version, herin
Jedhiah Joy ann
I find I just am not exactly sure. i mean...they appear to be lovely children, but at the same time I do think...maybe...a bit much.
I wonder if they have tv
Herin I am sure they do. They just shoedd that the house is set up with multiple computers. but they are very religious.
hello, 18 is way too many kids, IMO
mornin, peri
lol they should of read the verse that says moderation in all things......
hi peri
I think ppl can have as many kids as they want as long as they don't expect the rest of the country to support them
they are very much god botherers
the laundry, eeeeeek
I thnk many of us could take a lesson in her organization, however...
I wonder if God is up there going '''Oh for the sake of my name STOP BUGGING ME Jim Bob''
I doubt that herin. God ants people to pray without Ceasing.
that orginization is just factory line modelling,anyone with 20 or more employees can do it or someone with 100 head of milking cows..insane
It is a bit wierd.
But then there is my sister who has 2 boys and cant get things together...
bunch of animals in the grid
oooh aloy. I am going to dive in on a safari. I have no animals and I have a lot of words!
ty
Crossie I just got the strangest immages then
happy hunting..
of all those kids at a feeding trough at breakfast?
some sir edmund hillary helpers
yup, in two versions too
something like that
generic and particular
I mean my b.fs mum got confused with 3. 5 kids
well its the .5 thats always hard to buy for;)
Ok the reason I say .5 is the last one was adopted at 13
Himself is the youngest.
good thing he didn't have 1 leg or else he'd just be a quarter
Ata, you are in the grid today
brb.. coffee anyone?
which reminds me of the joke which ends 'quit while you are a-head'
wheee!
oooh me me! Coffe!
ATa hi
reminds me how so many are so willing to decide what is proper for someone else
Sorry Babble?
this is true Babb.
oprah is in the grid today
It IS a bad habit BabRab
but everyone is also entitled to their opinion on any matter
Also true Ata.
OH Lynxx guess what mental activity we are doing tomorrow Night
Ph Hoooray I have grayed one column to the left
go on - ?
Getting high on sugar and coffee and running about Chadstone like loons
yes, to say it is not right for you and condemn them is blaming others for disagreeing with your choices
hello there
I thought that was only for teenagers Infernal - !
LIZZZZZZZZIEEEEE
hi Liz, cute icon!
hi Liz

I tried to help you out but my gifts were ones you already had
Hello Ata :)
Annie, don't forget you can drop a cons. from O's name.. bingo
No drama Liz. I just got lucky., I asked and I got given by the powers that run the program.
I thought I was going to have half an hour to Babble but my other half just offered to take me to the pub for a toastie! So I'm off! Have fun everyone - catch you later
Ata - fight those flu bugs! *poof*
Nice partner
Ata how is your arm now?

ah, thanks, aloy
Good morning all!
Good morning from snowy western NY! The closing list is being read on the radio--they started 5 min ago and are up to the N's now.

There is a driving ban in one town and the thruway just re-opened.
Hi Scrabbler and Eeyore

goodnite all

sweet dreams, lynxxxie
good morning all
NIght Lynx
Good Morning!
HI WV
le 4 --- add abbr for a day segment; pl
Unfortunate Scrabbler.
OK...so what are the odds...at 12:30 last night, while trying ever so quietly to wrap the boys presents, my 6 YO wakes up and comes down into the living room! YIKES!
OH NO
He was waiting for that opportunity Car.
thanks BR, looking.
Oh, no, eeyore!
Luckily I had a blanket to cover the "goods" but I couldn't believe it! He NEVER wakes up during the night!
He knew Santa was in the house
hw was probably watching and waiting to catch you redhanded
Yaaay bottom row finitio
Kids are so excited at this time--they cannot wait til Xmas, and they are on the lookout for Santa.
No, he was out cold before I started. Just my luck! He doesn't remember this morning though, so I think all is well...literally, I was just putting the last piece of tape on a present...
Oh I love the idea of Santa calls
Tell me about it! My boys are 6 and 4, and between Christmas, vacation, Santa, and the snow...they are WILD!
I just greyed out my bottom row too. Let's be smug, red!
Yeah Gray Outs!
I used to get the Santa stocking at the end of the bed to shut me up at 5am
remember that driveway of mine scrabbs? im still hunting for it:/
fireworks for me...
THats how my Mom did it too Herin, My sister and I would open it up.
oh dear I have to fix the kitty toy
48 here left
I know feel the need to apologize to my mom for all of those 3 am Christmas mornings...
yaa for angelsong! 21 gun salute for you!
Congrats Angel!
wtg anglesong
congrats, angelsong!!!
fixing kitty toy will watch
anglesong??? sheesh sorry i cant type this morning should be angelsong
Morning, all. There have been far too many J words this week.
hi Judi
Hi Judi!
sams
howdy judi
sorry!
and we are back for a few
and we are back for a few
bbl.. and then to the list !
I was checking e-mail. Crossy--buried under snow, huh?
Question: do you think it would be safe to hang a dangling toy off the over head light fixture
Congrats Angel!
yes indeed scrabbs
j
No herin
i wouldnt herin that is if you want said fixture to remain a overhead one;))
Opps, sorry didn't mean to blurt out like that
for a kitty not a kid
Definitely not for a kitty! Mine would tear down the light.
we have 2 small wicker baskets for our cats,each has about 7 cat toys and they just help themselves;)
that is diffently cute Cross
now if we could only get them to put the toys away afterwards;/
Car It is one of those 3 light ones with a chain to the roof
that is asking for it herin..though you could get the fan going once kitty if firmly attached:)))
good luck coss.
its not a fan one
My rabbits have boxes and toys too. They hide in the boxes and also chew them up. They have rings of keys and jingle bells and it is funny to hear a bunny tossing those around.
though fans are really fun for putting a sock on the edge or a pair of knickers and turning it on heigh
Herin, I just wouldn't. Too many things could go wrong and the kitty (ies) might end up hurt if the fixture fell on them.
Thanks I was brain storming the idea. maybe when she is supervised (im sitting right next to her. I just need an anchoring point.
Scabbler that is cute
What kind of toy is it?
I keep trying to make the word "photograph"...grrrr.
i wanted pagoda...
You will laugh at me. Its a string of shower rings clipped and stuck together with an old toy mouse on the end. Every now and then it must be swatted
OOOOH! Sounds fun!
got the idea of Humane society website
is anyone still here?
Yesterday's snowstorm brought 15-18 inches of snow! I am listening to the radio.
Sorry! Yes, just busily working away! Have the bottom grayed out and almost the top line too!
goodness me
And more snow is coming today!
Scrabbler, where are you? Is it coming my way/
The sticky tape is due to the fact the curtain rings are not that great
I am in the Buffalo, NY area--I live 35 miles southeast, in the country.
Where are you, eeyore?
Oh! And I am in MA! You get lake effect from Erie?
Unfortunately, I think we will be getting the system as rain..:-(
Yes, Lake Erie is a snow-making machine until it freezes over--January we hope.

Hi and bye pug. I need a shower to cool down/ ok you can give me stick in your summer

I agree, Eva.
second that eva
can anyone clue the ra6/27 plz?
I try to remain calm. Both the parents are doctors, so when I feel I have to call the pediatrician's office, I say what the problem is, how I am thinking of treating it, and do they really need to be seen. I hate to bother them for every little thing.
anyone have a clue for the first RA6/27
right Night and travel safe you lot in that snow
pretty please?
Not yet pug.
ty
That is considerate, eeyore.
ga 6/27?

I know too many parents that freak out at every little thing! Kids are going to get bumps and bruises and cuts and colds. It's part of life.
there are 3 Lynn
1st one
extend the ga4 cut for 2 ga6/27's
one who ga4/7's
We see many irrational, anxious parents that want their kids made better now so the kid can get back to day care or school.
I have to get ready to leave. I need to go to the Post Office first, then go to the tennis center.
TY nono!
the first ra 6/27 is sometimes referred to as a convertable I think
ra6/27 - combo word - tatty clothing + opp of bottom.
Have a good day Scrabbler. You are doing very important work! Stay safe!

Enjoy the day everyone!

Walter is right pleased today. A friend gave us a giant Furniture from Ikea, because she and her girlfriend are consolidating households and teh girlfriend comes with a better one. Anyway, we put it in th ebedrooma nd took out the plastic industrial shelving units, which today I made into a thingy Walter can climb onto and view the room from multiple angles an dheights, and als disappear into. He is so active he needed something like this, and "real" stuff is SO expensive!
Oops, oven beeping; must re-glaze the ham and poke teh purple potatoes! I'll try to be back later.

Vi!!!!!
Mab was on again last night!!
My night or your night?
my night *thinks* in about 4-5 hours time from now. but yesterday
Hmmm... I am often on around then, so there is hope.
now I know that - if I see her again, I'll email you to get your ar** online!!
lol. Thanks for the ar4!
Unfortunately, the in-laws arrive tonight, so the next week will have less Babble time than usual. Still, I'll try to get my words in when I can.
(I should specify that it's unfortunate for Babble, not unfortunate in other respects.)
LOL yes
Cute Sily pics.
shes a Silly Sily cat :D
=)
Go4. Everyone disappeared as soon as I arrived. Coincidence? Hmmm.....
lol. I have something to show you!
... or am I, in fact... The Last Person on Earth!!!! *Twilight Zone music*
http://tinyurl.com/7rymbs
Whee, I'm not alone! Show!
its not great resolution, deliberately
No, but enough to see it's gorgeous. And the different style knotwork it definitely cool.
I just flew in from Atlanta, and boy are my arms tired ..
its *huge* in real life
Hey, tor! Rest here a while!
How huge?
haven't you got your own jet engines yet, tor?
2 foot x 3 foot *ish* (its A2 size, but you lot don't understand that :P)
Ever since The Incredibles unpopularized capes the flying has been much harder.
Oh, man. That IS big!
Have you started the painting yet?
its small for most painters, but inking up that size using a 0.18mm pen takes forEVER
tomorrow
I'm having a day off today
dont' even want to think about it today!
I can imagine. What's the color scheme to be? Will all the Noldorin crests be all their different colors?
Oh, oops. Sorry for requesting thought! lol
all the crests will be their correct colours, I *hope*. So it should be mainly blue, red, gold
LOL I dont mind this! This is fun. The picture isn't even in the room, I'm hiding it downstairs, so things are happy!
Very rich.
it's going to be really bright and colourful, probably too bright and colourful, but the Noldor must have loved colour and gold and jewels adn rishness
lots of dark dark blue and crimsons to counteract the bright
woohoo 7 left
Hello all!
go harry gooo
Clearly they were't ascetics!
hi all :)
Go, Ha5/16Hood, go!
:)
Hello, itsonme.
no LOL they were very - well, you know how bright old paintings were when you restore them, and see all those bright colours under the grime? that's my kind of palette idea
oooh pb for me! i didnt have that one yet :)
ish. we'll see. hahaha. it'll probably change completely as I'm going along
hint the last at 5/5/6 ?
oops never mind!
Have you seen the guy who restores the white marble Greek statues to their original colors, and they're so shockingly garish! It's fabulous!
just need the at5,16
yes! and the restorations of the ancient Egyptian temples are the same! it's so horrid when you first look because you're so used to the calm and pale colours, then you realise how wonderful the colours are
a + not bottom + sometime vowel
at5/16 -
Oh, just look at Ata's clue. lol
ty !!!
LOL :)

anyway, so I want that *almost* too bright thing. Which I think will be rather hard to paint, because all your instincts normally tell you to stay safe rather than go *right* up to the line
Good evening all...........the house is mine again, kiddies have gone home!!:)
That'll be great, though. It's supposed to impress.
yay cait! have a sh6!
Hello, caitlyn!
last word...th7,45? hint?
yes. I just hope I can pull it off! We'll see!
don't know, sorry
Cheers Ata , I think I will !
Having a look for th7...
that was an appropriately timed find :)
Wait, can a 7 be 45?
got it!!!
just thinking that
7,44
no, dont think it can
Then yay for Ha5-Hood!!!
sorry :)
Ah.
thanks :)
yayyyy!

hi peri
Got it.

Thanks, finished!!!
Congrats Harry!
Yay for bubba!
Congrats bubba!
thanks :)
Oh look! People I know.

Hi Haz!!
Haz? Haz? That name sounds familiar.
HI, Haz
Hello there! 'Tis I, and no mistake.
bye :)
Haz!!!!
hey haz!
Bye Harry
I read your email, and poof! you are here!
Hi peri!
I'm all out of my way of going these days, but I'm here now.
Isn't technology great, Ata?
how's La Spanglettina? Does she get an extra spoonful of gruel for Christmas?
Busy days Haz?
We don't believe in spoiling, Ata, you should know that. We're just back from a nice crisp walk.
lunch time me thinks got it down to 42 im thrilled with myself :) back in a couple
Busy days, caitlyn, is right!
Snap!!
Extra people around and things to do etc, but it's not managed to make me cross yet.
I did Tescos at 8.30 am ...that was very trying !!
That was heroic.
very heroic!
My last shop will happen tomorrow, after that, if we haven't got it - tough!
Thank you Haz ..I thought so especially as I had my disabled mum with me
Is it too late to nominate you for the Queen's New Year's Honours list?
Hmmm... I still need to lay in vast quantities of meat and potatoes for the in-laws.
i just have to buy ice cream. I have to do this because I asked husband to buy ice cream, and he came back with coffee ice cream. I think even most babblers know I'm horribly allergic to coffee ...
I will wait for the Birthday Honours list
Fair enough, caitlyn. You're very gracious.
Sounds like a plot to murder you, Ata. What was he thinking??
sad, isnt' it?"he didn't think"
Do you find his inattention endearing or maddening? Wondering why I'm posing such a silly question...
Why thank you Haz Ata is he better now?
Hmm, I must take a break now, I have My Sister's Keeper to read for Biology extra credit. :) See you later!
Bye itsonme .happy reading
Bye itsonme
I always find that failure to think inevitably ends badly.
does the fact he nearly had the ice cream shoved somewhere painful answer your question? :P
Bonus points to you, Ata, for restraint shown.
Yup thats the answer I expected
I just don't find "I didn't think" a good answer. If he was allergic to something, I would always make sure I wasn't picking up something with that in it!
bbs
My hubby nearly had pizza where the son doesnt shine last night,I asked him to get some out of the freezer, after much rustling he said were they in the box marked vegtable tartlets!!
Bye peri
I meant SUN
That would be an interesting filing system for a freezer, wouldn't it?
I always remember a college roommate who came home at 3am before exams and turned up the stereo full blast. When the rest of us appeared in the doorways blearily she cheerfully gushed, "Oh sorry! I just didn't think!"
lol!
Were you able to think of any cutting remarks? I always think of my best retorts hours after the event.
Vi or me Haz?
I think the only cutting remarks I ever seem to make are the ones when I would have done better to keep my mouth shut. =s
Anybody - but probably Vi.
LOL Vi
Ever since high school I've been trying to train myself NOT to let loose with the cutting remarks.
Are your daughters home for Christmas Haz?
I've managed it perfectly once or twice, but only once or twice
ra 7/32 please?
Yes, caitlyn, elder one is at home all the time now, the younger one flew in from Edinburgh on Saturday.
howdee all, glad to see a nice fat puzzle today 8-)
The washing of the towels has taken on a new dimension....
Hello BDG.
Howdy, Book Doc.
It will be nice for you to have them both there,I hope you all have a lovely time
Hi BDG
ra7/32 - most impetuous
nm, just got it!
ra7...more of the itchy skin problem
I will, caitlyn, thanks.
wah! no eggheads!
Finished for the season ?
Did anyone watch Strictly on Sat?Yeah for Tom!!
yay Tom!
I only watched Tom's dance on youtube, it looked fun.
hi all :)
That last dance, freestlye was brilliant
any clue for the th7 ?
Hi Kaz
Hello Kaz.
I loved it - did it remind you of Torvilll and Dean's Barnum routine? Ata's too young to remember it properly.
Hello, new entrants.
The treatment we all need for playing this game Ouw
th7/44 - what you go to a psychologist for
ty, good clue, caitlyn <giggle)
thanks...got it
yw
I must need it or I would have gotten it...lol
I still *just* remember it though!!
I hope they have a new season of dancing on ice lined up
I loved their paso doble for the OSP (T and D) - everything about it was perfect including the costumes.
15 left...all t's and s's!
Evening all Re Strictly - thought it was a brilliant routine, well worth the win!
There's a Christmas special, caitlyn.
FM!!
FM!!!
Hooray FM is here!
Hi FM !!
hiya FM
Hiya, FM!
Awe such a lovely welcome :)
I will lool out for it, thanks Haz
Oh I am making a lot of ty5/16 tonight
Fun grid today I thought and this mild weather can carry on for as long as it wants too.
now we just need Lori(Canada) and Mab
I can't remember when it's on. The only thing I definitely want to see is the new Wallace and Grommit.
I cant stand them !!
Lori(Canada) may well still be Christmas shopping.
Oooh, I love Wallace and Gromit. When's that out?
She's not online so lets hope she is out rather than lines down
there is a new wallace and gromit! YAY!!! we were just speaking of them, as we set up the train set....
To be shown on BBC on Christmas Day. 'A matter of Loaf and Death'
ooooh, can't wait! wallace and gromit are COOL
Maybe we can find it on-line here.
Love Wallace and Grommit. Oooooh, cheeeeeese.
hey, they're supposed to show Doctor Who on Christmas . . . grrrrrr
It's not a full feature length, though.
cheeeeeese!
FM I made a mistake, granddaughters new show is The little house of horrors!
lol Cheeeeeeeeeese!
we're out of cheese, gromit!!
Yay Dr Who special at 6pm GMT Christmas day weeee *blush*
***JEALOUSY***
Dr Who with all 10 Drs
Of course, I'm old enough to remember the very first ones...
Ahhh ... that makes a tad more sense cait!! Thought rocky Horrow was a little too much for a youngsters school show lol
Brilliant I cant wait to see it
atalante, you are going to make be lose all my blood sugar LOL
Put it down to a senior moment FM LOL
LOL sorry!
lol - The idea of schoolchildren putting on the Rocky Horror Picture Show!!! lol
It's a wonder FM hadn't arranged for pickets outside the school 'Keep horror out!' 'Our children are innocent!'
Ata you must blame Fm, she is retiring in the New Year
Are you kidding, Haz? She'd have been waiting at the doors with her rice and newspaper and all the other props!
herin and I did go intot a state of shock at the thought. Ummm Haz you must have missed the part in the chat when I said I loved the show
Ok laugh at me, but horror is in the title!
Oh, dear. LSHs is not for children. That would be disturbing.
One of the greatest things for me ever was seeing Tim Curry on stage. He is soooo amazing
Oh so quick Vi :)
LSH is better for kids than Rocky Horror
They are doing LSH I have got that bit rightLOL
.. if you had to choose that is (she said hastily)
What age is this show, caitlyn?
Can I tell you a terrible thing? Extreme Protestants here once protested at the school staging 'The Sound of Music' because they didn't want their daughters dressed up as nuns. It happened YEARS ago.
I saw LSD there for a moment
nooooooo!
LSH ??
I'd have to agree there. LSH has been done in high school plays. Just making the giant plant would be an interesting challenge for any low budget arts department.
Vi 11 to 16
Sigh. People pick the silliest things to get upset about.
LItle Shop of Horrors
Yes. I know, I had blocked out the memory but the talk of school productions brought it back. I may need th7.
"extreme" protestants who have to protest everything? LOL
Hmmm... Yes, Little Shop is really not meant to be a kids' show...
LOL Haz
oh, duh. I have seen little shop of horros done by a high school. very "appropriate" so to speak
Good Evening Everyone :)
Hello jean!
Good evening jean
But I imagine you can edit as needed.
evening, jean (she says from michigan where it si 1:22pm)
I almost made a faux pas when googling my new icon - I typed in christmas balls and then changed it to baubles :)
if you edit out the sex from rocky horror show ain't much left . . .
How is everyone's christmas preparations going? or is it not a good subject lol
rofl FM
LOL, FM. Bet that was interesting!
We did a gorgeous production of Man of LaMancha with middle school (11-14) which worked beautifully despite having to edit out all implication of Aldonza being a prostitute!
Hello jean - all done here
I'm bearing up bravely, jean. We will smile and appear calm.
Popping off for a bit. Fiddly work to do.
*not mentioning the ice cream fiasco*
Finished here also jean.......and you?
6 left!!!
Toodles Judi
thats cool I am nearly there, just the food shop:)
Bye Judi,take care
Bye, Judi.
JUST the food shop? That's the bit I dread the most.
LOL I love it Haz sounds like me lol
I did that today and need th7/44 to recover
I am lucky this year Haz all offspring left home so I figured its time for me to go and eat them out of house and home lol
LOL the th7 ws my last word
I nearly lost it one year when, having just about completed the task, some clown decided to phone a bomb warning to the shop. We had to clear out. I found it hard to smile and appear cheerful that day.
hey there car - back again?
oh nooooo!
sa 6/18?
Congrats FM!!
Good grief Haz thats understandable
Good for you, jean. Some day it may come for me.
are you using the list today, car?
Yup! Did our errands. In for the day. Almost done with the grid!
was it Tescos?
How was your appt?
It comes round quicker than you think
I was in Tescos today and it wasn't too bad it was the traffice on the roads that was the nightmare
oh, fine. got all the th7 I need for the day :)
What really annoyed me, apart from me having to leave my shopping was that the poor shop assistants (yes it was Tesco) were going to have to put all the stuff back again. Trolley loads!
sa6/18 - some of the stones in Stonehenge, rhymes with setting illegal fires
(rhymes with, but not spelled like)
ty vic, good clue
TY!
5 left...just T's
wow, very good clue!
Sounds like a real nightmare Haz
Yes, excellent clue!
guess what we did today? Set up the old lionel train set from when we were kids. Tertiare was so excited!
Still have the appt. tonight?
HELLO FRIENDS!
oops. caps lock. sorry. (((hugs all)))
yupppers
howdee stid, LTNS 8-)
Can we come and play too Trif? Stiddy!!!!!!!!!!!
hi there stid!!
It was jean. But at least it was just a hoax.
FM its your turn for the garlic olives!
Oh well, guess I'd better wander off and sweep the guest room now. Ho hum.
Hello stid.
Choo, choo! Sounds like fun! We need to put our set out too!
noooo! stay!
SOunds fun, Trifioso! Hello, Stidmama!
Hello stidmama:)
((((((((stid)))))))))
Oh yess cait - here you go, I stocked up :)
i wanna train!!!
Husband's only regret about having daughters was that he couldn't, in all conscience' buy a train set.
Bye Vicuna dont work too hard:)
But Ata, I have to appear to be a satisfactory daughter-in-law!
Aweeeeeee Vi do you hav to??
FM!!! I suppose all this snow is your fault still??? *points to icon*
Stay Vi, the dust will be here after you
no vi! stay! play!
Poor Vi. You want tips? Always iron your tea towels.
they should love you, dust and all!
2 left!
caitlyn! hello! nice to see you again
Bearing live offspring helped a lot, of course, but I can't rest on my laurels!
Thank you FM, yummy
why vi? if you do, then they just come back again.
1!
eeeek!!! Um stiddy dear I tried my hardest but it just kept falling :(
I learned years ago that no matter what I did it wouldn't be good enough. So I gave up and they stay away and we are fine...
lol, Haz. Keep in mind that father-in-law is a farmer. He likes a woman to be a decent housekeeper, but tea towels is one step too much for him, oroned or no!
tea towels? *confused mama look* napkins?
Nice to see you also stid, how are you?
Bye then Vi, good to see you.
Tea towels - for drying dishes.
snowed in caitlyn, otherwise all is well. We still have electricity (not babbling by generator)
Well, enjoy having them stay, Vicuna - nice to see you!
oh. hm. we just call them "dish towels" LOL
enjoy the visit, vi
Take care Vi see you soon
FIREWORKS
lol, everyone, I like the father-in-law and would be sad if he stayed away! But he is rawther high-maintenance. Sigh. I'll be back in a bit, never fear.
Hi there folks! Poor Walter is in bed after a very nasty emotional crash based on having a bad cold in his nose that he bruised yesterday falling over on teh path to the woods... the parents among you will recognize how heartbreaking this is but how relieved I am that he is peacefully asleep. So how is everyone?
YAY car!
congrats car!
Yay car!!!!!
Sending warm thoughts to stid and family
hello monkey
Congrats car!!
hey monkey - good to see you!
Well done car!
oh geez... poor little walter *sends comforting thoughts*
You too! You are less pretty in this icon...
Hello Monkey:)
yeah car! that's my girl! should have known - a week in and she is kicking my a3
Hi MG he will bounce back by tomorrow though
but more seasonally appropriate...
Thanks, Stid. He'll feel much better in the mornoing. It IS just a cold and it WAS just before bedtime. Still breaks my heart, you know?
mg - how much is actual hurt, and how much is just seasonal overload and needing pampering? (considering bashing my own nose, if it works....)
Yes he will, CAit. It's not like that mystery virus anyway! Sprite's daughter is only just now feeling better-- and Walter still has the odd bad day.
oh no! didn't realize sprite had sick children again... *sigh* so glad mine haven't had anything major this year (unlike last year when one of them missed 20% of school days)
I think it is a lot of pain but not like an ear infection or something, Trif, combined with getting up very early, not napping anymore, and as you say seasonal overload. No question it was really hurting but he, unlike me, responds VERY well to Tyleniol and I made sure he got one befor ebed. And now he's asleep. Oh, and i found the prescription toddler anticongestant too, so that should also be kicking in.
Same one, Stid.
This is teh mystery virus Walter brought back from Cal and gave her kids back in June. It's a REALLY nasty one!
I know it must originate over there because I an dDanny never got sick.
golly gee, monkey -- what a rough one.
Ouch thoug, 20%? What was the problem?
the younger stidkid's history class is just studying how the Europeans brought disease to the native americans...
I know this is all par for the course because your cousin(?) said so...
Oh man, yes, the transmission of illness in those days.... You know what my aunt does for a living. I know a Lot about those days!
Look at the time!! I really must go to the kitchen and get some supper on!! I have the computer to myself tomorrow as kiddies have gone back. see you tomorrow, take care all, bye
yes, scrabs is my cousin-in-law
stodgy! is not in the grid 8-(
oooh. what fun caitlyn! see you tomorrow! (((hugs)))
Bye Cait!
Good bye everyone! See you later!
Bye caitlyn:)
Yes, caitlyn, the kitchen is always there, needing to be visited!
Bye cait and bye car
She seems to dispense very reasonable and reassuring medical advice, from a motivational standpoint of just wanting to help people. CanNOT argue with that.
Gwen, it was YESTERDAY though!
yes, I wish we'd had her near us when our children needed a pediatrician.
Or was that the day before?
I'll bet!
Ata loved your latest pics on flickr esp Hobbit with the clay paws and the indignity of the wash down!
Besides, drop the D and have a cigar.

Bye haz!!!!
just chucked the fry out into the snow, figuring it would buy me at least a few minutes of peace....nope. Watch us, mummy watch us. MUMMY WATCH US. Sigh....
Vay, I thought, Stid, but that's not in the grid...
okey peri... it's the kind of white sauce you serve with fish only with the first R removed

No rude implications intended...
Bye for now Peri!

I only have one S from the middle right. Are there a bunch of weird ones or something?
thanks for the clue mg. have now made them put hats on, and have taken requisite photos....give me some peace, kids, PLEEEZ?
mamma wants her babble
que ****, ****
sera
rhyme with m**** christmas
oh, sh4, sorry
Not only do I have to take photos, thanks to Mom and her goft of the child suitable digital camera I have to pose for them and download them!
mountain guides who'll take you up everest
monkey, I am already feeling guilty for not uploading snowy photos HERE for everyone, since so many were doing it the other day.
massagy! is not a word, grrrrr
I haven't updated the blog for the grandparents in a YEAR!!!! You're doing fine.
wow, okay. I feel better now (grin)
oh, jeez, dog barf. When is school vacation over?
Did I tel you Walter rejected his plastic guitar recently because it is a toy? That he suddenly wants to watch people playing acoustic guitar on YouTube? That he talks constantly about my grandfather the folk singer? That he dropped enough commentary we orderd him a professional children's model guitar for Christmas?
Don't say dog barf. I have a Great Dane with food issues. Don't make me think about it.
WOW trifioso... you are getting the full treatment aren't you?
your grandfather the folksinger? <perk>
wonderful, monkey! Sam will be so proud!
Yay. Another budding guitar hero ..
you have a great dane? in your little flat???
He is. I told him yesterday.
cool mg! you will NOT be sorry. It is a great gift, music. And hey - it could have been drums. Tertiare took up trumpet this year. it is not going well. She LOVES it.
Yeah! If she gets out for a good solid run daily she just sleeps. Like a breathing piece of furniture!
togrone! servo was in the grid yesterday!!!!
torgone, even
hello tor! *tosses snowballs*
orgy! is not in the grid, or anywhere else that i know of
ack, don't talk about drums, i have a headache
That sounds like my trumpet experiances! I played from 7 years old to 11.
LOL monkey!
I think you should call it a great DUTCH monkey
Heyas! Tosses drizzle ..
hello hursheroo!
I'm in Holland, there's probably one within a few miles, Gwen.
lol
and what happened at 11? parents went deaf, or just dropped off cliff?
oooh. no drizzle on top of the snow please... we have enough trouble on the roads!
Thing is they'[re actually German. Odd.
accidentally "ran over" trumpet with car, maybe????
monkey, um, okay. they are kind of scarcein the us, unless you know where to dig
i found amsterdam such a weird place to visit. you have the tulips and windmills and delft stuff all right next to the boob-and-weenie salt & pepper shakers in the same gift shop...
Just kind of lost interest, probably mainly because of teh major gap in my front teeth closing; that was why Satchmo could play those high notes and then I just couldn['t anymore...
Oh yeah, Hursh! The red light district is a family neighborhood. That said I'm still glad we moved to Haarlem when Walter was 1 1/2... less, ummm, garish here. We have it all, it's just more tastefully displayed.
really??? I collect s&ps, so maybe I will have to plan a visit...
oh really? *perks up* stidkid (who plays beautifully == trumpet since he was 8) loves to go for high notes, but they are a bit ragged still...
and you can't spit water 30 feet without that gap, either
i dunno why they can't keep it a little more separate for those of us who are only interested in the charming aspects
So true! I loved doing that... until I was 11!
Now now, don't knowck teh culture here... you folks are seen as a bunch of prudes... personally I fall somewhere in the middle.
Boobs are charming ..
maybe they don't know that the sex is actually off-putting to many people?
if i want to be a prude, why can't i be a prude?
Besides, just visit other towns. Amsterdam has a reputation to keep up.
books are charming, too LOL
It is limited to certain areas, as far as the blatancy is concerned, Stid.
I suppose they figure if you dn't like it you won't go there... but then you miss a lot of the nice things I suppose
my sil is a psychiatrist in ireland, and one of her patients snuck out of the hospital and ran away to amsterdam. They couldn't go much about it, as patient was over 18, and, as my sil noted "self-medicating should not prove a problem in amsterdam" tee hee!
of course, I won't ever go there, so for me the question is moot
rofl tri!
it's actually the MIXTURE that i find unpleasant. there are times i want to think about windmills and tulips and times i want to think about sex, and those are not the same times.
i'm kind of prudish about me and sex, but other poeple? or salt-and-pecker shakers? who cares???
Nah. There are indeed a couple of small landmarks worth seeing in those areas but they're not the end-all-be-all.
YES! finally found an 8
down to 92 now
and...they are back in. Must be cold out there!
lucky you, tri!
afternoon babblers!
brb phone
Just a sec... the combo yes, weird, biut HIGHLY regional... gotta go for a few... brb.
barely had time to heat up the hot cocoa!
mmmm, cocoa
*sneaks back in with trifs kids, hoping for cocoa*
all done :)
diggity is none too pleased with the toy train. How funny!
evan, I shall upload you some.....mini marshmallow, dear?
just one or two, please. :)
open wiiiiiiddddeeee
:O
OK, back. Yes, Amsterdam is a bit of a culture shock... but THAT sort of thing really is (legally!) limited to one area. And there are a lot of things about the working girls that I think should be in the tourist pamphlets, like that most of them are just saving up for college, that if clients won't adhere to hygeine demands or get ummmm... uppity, police response is 3 minutes, and thet they have a great union.
the rational way to do prostitution, sounds like
evan, refresh a couple of times....
evan, refresh a couple of times....
yummy cocoa! :)
*giggles at eva and trif*
It is now. It was tolerated (decriminalized) but not actually LEGAL until about 10 years ago. Now it is indeed very sensible.
hints for the A on the far left? or the A on the far right?
at5/6 babblets...
far right A is A + type of dancing (think gregory hines)
The A on the far right is an adjective that describes Gregory Hines when he's at work.
at4, at5/16
got the one on the right... got an AT4 from the one on the left...
monkey, does that mean it is a done, acceptable thing? are people's husbands free to say "just popping out for a whore, back soon..." - that sort of thing?
got the 5-6 combo :)
lol, no!
a4 = a + the upper most part of a thing
acceptable, yes, husbands, no
and for the one i just clue, add the sometimes vowel
TY gwen!
are there male ones, in case women have the need?
Well, it is generally up to the wives and most of those family guys at least don't talk about it... generally it is a tourist and lonely guy industry. But yes, they have windows in the red light district where they sit waiting for clients to appear.
There are male ones, pseudo female ones, whatever you like. Big ones, small ones, whatever. No underage ones though, not since legalization.
babbling *dribble dribble*
And for the discriminating there are far more tasteful escort bureaus for all tastes.
it all does sound very civilized....
It really is. Also live shows. But our current pardon my language government is trying to really wrench things into the puritan and we are NOT happy.
the dumb-wits in my country are still trying to stamp out perfectly good drugs . . .
no, i would guess not! if the system works....
Yeah, suddenly here too. That stupid French tourist incident has actually resulted in the mushroom ban. Now people into that have to get themn from street pushers instead of clean above board grow operations.
and hey - here in america the scary religious types are trying to drag us back into the dark ages....
why do they think that outlawing mushrooms (or whatever) is good for anyone? oh i forgot, it's good for pols and cops and lawyers etc
Oh yes, But don't worry, Harry Potte... I mean Balkenende plans to chuck us right in after you!
pretty sickening how many people voted to outlaw gay marriage
Harry Potter or Dutch Prime Minister? You decide... http://www.digischool.nl/kleioscoop/ba lkenende.jpg
ooh! gwen! I almost forgot - you HAVE to go to www.cakewrecks.com and search for the *attempted* Dalek cakes. SCREAMINGLY funny
I agree, Gwen.
i read a really interesting editorial in the new york times about how roe v. wade hampers all attempts at compromise on the abortion issue. it was a perspective i had not looked at things from.
okay, going to look at cake . . . bb in a mo
okay, monkey - that is pretty hilarious. Harry Potter is your guy....
His right-wing party was elected on a sympathy vote because of teh first political assassination here since the 17oo's. The guy assassinated was killed because he ran fur farms, but it;'s his other proclivities that are being foised on us now.
foisTed...
sympathy votes are not the most rational
The health care system is descending rapidly toward US levels, home care benefits are declining, the work situation is appalling...
Very much not, Hursh.
imagine if we elected gang members when their leaders got killed in street fights
that would be wack
lol hurshy
They DID still cover my MRI in the basic insurance though, but I'll bet I'd have to pay for one next year... and yet our taxes, extremely high due to the BENEFITS we ge... ummm, got... keep going UP.
Duno wat you folks pay, but our income tax is 19 1/2 %.
For which we used to get all medications paid for up front, all medical care except electional, great oparks and well-maintained woodlands, endangered species protection, ladnmark restoration, 6 months' maternity leave, daycare for the less fortunate...
Some of that we still get.
When Walter suffered his collapsed lung at 1 day old that would have cost us about $600,000 in the US, I checked... We didn't have to pay a thing so I stoill feel ok about the taxes.But the trend is NOT good...
okay, back from laughing at dalek cake wrecks and forwarding link to several friends. TY
now i have to go back to work . . . BBL again
MG there are people far worse off than you right now...doesn't sound like you have much to complain about yet I feel for your struggle as someone with a chronic illness herself
Midwife and assistant, transport to hospital, tests, specialist neonatal ambulance, crash team, multiple x-rays and tests and ultrasounds to check for infections and brain damage, on week neonatal intensive care, one week recovery in specialist baby wing, breast pump, feeding and care traininbg, overnoight visit to "practice" for home care, transport home, several follow up visits. Not a penny.
Yes, I KNOW how fortunate I ma to live here regarding health care, But it is rapidly going away and I don;t want to see that haoppening. Believe me, I have been through severe chronic pain for years with no care or insurance, have nursed a husband through a chipped spine with no medical care, and have seen REAL poverty. I know I'm still priveleged.
I just want to spread the good times, not see the bad on the increase...
I agree with you, monkey - the european system is great, and we really should steal it here.
I get a social work Bachelor's Degree bext week and I do know what there is out there. Walter's current best friend is from Burundi as we.ll... and I though I had seen hard times in teh Mexican countryside!
Oh but Trif... that'd mean importing the "dreaded European Socialism" (quoting Bush...)
I can't type for people in the USA but I think a 10% + tax hike would be hard for them to swallow in order to get the medical benefits they need and deserve
By the way, no it is NOT great, not anymore. But it is still better. Sigh.
hello all, what you you folks using for virus protection on your computers. I am having problems with Norton. Recently people here had provided information on where I could get free downloads but I have misplaced the information.
Sure. I agree with that too. CUT THE DEFENSE BUDGET. But then I'm a kook.
hi peri!
well that would be ideal, for sure
AVG, Peri.
peri: symantec is the best
use Norton myself, so not much help
do they have AVG in the USA?
I use ESET, its fab
yes they do peri i have it on one of my machines
I'm not naive. The changes would require more than the system could bear. But maybe some inroads could be made. This whole issue was Hillary's baby... baybe there's hope over there yet. We atarted out this way and gradually got worse; that's easier by far than wholesale change.
please, monkey, I only have to put up with that moron for less than 30 days. please please please do not quote him to me. I plan to erase him from my memory, and never think of him again
It's online, Peri, and free.
aupres de ma mitten, qu'il fait po, fait po, fait po aupres de ma mitten, qu'il fait po rester
bonjour mitten chaton!
I'm sorry, Trif. Just remember this... the more people who actively imagine his head exploding whenever he's on live, the more likely it is to happen.
ok, will check those out, thanks, bbs
Wat zeg je, Hursh? Moet ik dag zeggen?
she would say bonjour back, but she's asleep and well tucked
MInd over matter and all.
no speaky the dutchen
awwwww
I said, What'd you say? Do I have to bid you farewell?
No speaky the Frenchen, you see.
no, i was singing a little french ditty wherein i changed "blonde" to "mitten" (my cat) and "bon" to "po" which isn't french but just my personal slang for "pretty"
Aha!
love it
so basically it means everything about my mitty, it is pretty
Lovely!
to quote ursula, "it's what i DO. it's what i LIIIIVE for."
Which Ursula?
only in my case "it" is putting cats into songs and in her case it was "helping" (aka taking advantage of) poor unfortunate merfolk
Ursula the Ugly
Ummm... before, after, or tengential to my time I guess.
the liddle mermaid sea witch
no disney in holland?
Ursula Vernon is more fun
she wasn't actually called Ursula the Ugly, i just threw that in cause she WAS
Oh yes... haven't read the original in decades and LOATHED the Disney so have not revisited it. But ow I get you.
So is Ursula LeGuin.
loathed? but all the pretty songs??
yes
yellow
unda da sea, unda da sea...
who you callin yella
cause if it is marty, then that's ok
Lots of Disney here. The Dutch draw from other cultures well. That is why such a tiny placve was one of the biggest world posers for centuries. That's why it used to be so tolerant too.
Pretty songs? Pretty??? Slinking off to vent steam without offending...
who's that cartoon guy you have that's native though?
wow
clue for at 5/10, at 6/18, ra 6/27, sa 6/21, 6/18 please
these are my last 5!
at + paving substance, and pl
Not sure who you mean...
Dikkie Dik the orange cat???
ra6 = perhaps ann or andy?
thanks hurshy!
The Smurfs are Belgian...
sa + baked mashed or fried ****toes
s + homonym for intentional fire setting
ann or andy?
you know, the dolls with the red yarn hair
or is that a US thing
I know what you are talking about hurshy, but having trouble finding the right spelling
Jan Jans en de Kinderen?
focus on the hair...
we have raggedy, but that's only 3 letters in the grid
ra 6 -- tattered blouse
maybe i am thinking of something belgian, i don't know. where is the cartoon museum
tintin?
ra6 is also a slang name for a convertible
well that is why i put the ? ata, to indicate that you have to fudge with it
herge was belgian I think
tintin! that is the one
I am back again! For the third time today.
thanks everyone!
omg, I ADORE tintin - used to have a bathroom papered in one of his comics...have a watch with him on it, tee shirts, everything. love him!
I was thinking Raggedy...
There is one in Amsterdam. They do feature a lot of Herve. He is the Smurfs guy, He's Belgian, but that's Flemish Belgian so that would mean it was quite the grey area until 200 years or so ago...
one left!
that sa 6/18
Tintin! Aha! THAT'S Herve as well! Belgian. But Good Belgian.
fireworks!!!
it's Hergé, MG, not Herve
yay
yay miz!
congrats, MizHoffle
Like the chocolate. Good. Also the fact that they are the only thing between us and France,
Yay Miz!
Mind you I don't really hate the French but I am trying to assimilate...
Hurrah! Hooray!
thanks! now off to clean my bathroom...or just wrap some presents
Spelling difference between English and Dutch then. I'll e-mail my Flemish friend for the REAL spelling.
just don't wrap the presents with whatever you used to clean the bathroom
No good e-mailing the Wallonian guy; then we'd just have 4 spellings to deal with.
it's hergé. according to the tintin museum
that is what Remi decided his pen name would be
there is a tintin MUSEUM???? oh, heaven....
oh yes. I've been dragged around it LOL
OK, then that is what I expect to hear from the Flemish guy. 'Cause they (that museum) would know. The Dutch spell it differently is all, but in all things I believe in going with the native, the original, whenever psosible.
as well as far too many Tintin shops!
Must go now. Have fun all!
where is it, ata?
Just to add, my husband has just pointed out it's a pseudonym anyway, which I didn't know... OK, bye all!
where'd that jen34 get to, i want to know what she was wowing at before
bye monkey - hope walter is okay tomorrow
yep - Remi's pen name, as I said
the museum? Hamsterjam
Just glanced over and saw that.. misswed you'd pointed that ouit
Was distracted. Sorry.*re-poof*
at5/10 & 6/18?
wow, did the server just get really slow, or WHAT???
atalante, my husband said it was funny that i liked hugh laurie as house since he's british and playing an american
he's so fab, evweryone should like him!
and i said, what's more british than being better than us americans, even at being american!
I like him! He is so great on that show!
loooooool true
my mother in law was saying she doesn't like him because he's not nice to people
i don't know what to say when people say that
hello, any computer geeks here?
as Helen Mirren said recently, everyone likes baddies better
somehow, "really? that's why i love him!" seems like it would make me look bad
hurshy, did not realize you were in the UK
depends what level of geek you need, peri
thats the character he plays, its what makes the show so funny at times
i amn't
quote Helen!
ok, thanks for the quote!
it's very true though
it is?
ok, I have norton/symantec anti virus protections on my computer, parts of it are not working and I want to download something else. Must I remove all of the current protection that I have before I do that
why is bad good?
yes
I don't
norton is very finickty about that
never said bad was good
we don't know, brabble. but it's a girl thing.
you must love bush/cheney
erg, not that kind of bad!
I may have to ask my nephew then.But he is busy :(
yes, you do peri. norton is very finickty about that
Some womenfolk seem to like the bad boys ..
okay, so bad is not good just liked better
i think she means she'll have to ask her nephew to do the uninstall
what do you mean by finicky, Ata
all women like the bad boys (almost all)
maaaaaaaaaaaaaaab!
norton will generally not let you upload any other AV without uninstalling it fully first
good afternoon everyone. could i get some clues for the sa6's please?
mabster!
Heya ms. mab!
hi hurshy! taking a psychological holiday to britain?
hey mab!
who is this mab, that everyone is glad to see here?
hi all . I'M STUMPED ON THE RA 5/6 COMBO. aNY ASSISTANCE WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED
sorry for caps
hello everybody. babblescrabble, your icon is frightening
a psychological emigration, even. my virtual self likes it here, and as virtual immigration requires no paperwork, i think i'll stay.
well, I can try to uninstall norton by myself
mab is Mab! we love her!
you'll 99% likely need to or else you'll get software clashes
why do you love her, Ata. I have never seen her here before
i will visit very often
*gasp*
mab is an old-timer!
mab was here more often once upon a time, peri, and we have missed her lately
Hello there, mab!
hi peri
the ra 5/6?
and you have a lovely cat that looks like your old companion, mab
mab, love your profile. Malka is actually my Hebrew name
ra5 sounds like the way actor fiennes pronounces his name
whats the theme today? i havent changed my icon in ages
a clue for the sa6/21, please?
it's a google cat, but I put her up to stand for my Malka, who died this past autumn.
My Hebrew name is my first name, Ilana
oh mab, i'm so sorry
ty hursy
sa + baked, mashed, or fried ****toes?
Happy Chanukah, mab and bichon
It was very sad. she was old however and her illness was not prolonged.
so sorry for your loss, mab. I am a cat lover too
hurshy, thank you!
thank you. hag sameach everyone
sa 6/21 is tree liquid + the game ran over into ** + vowel
and bichon, too!
yw
chag semeach lecha
Now sophie, the surviving cat, won't go near any of malka's hang-outs.
what does hag sameach mean?
awww poor sophie :(
bichon, one of my nieces lives in Woodbridge, Conn
happy holidays, ata
chag semeach means happy holiday in Hebrew
I don't know any Hebrew
ty! I have been realising recently how little I know about Jewish tradition and language, so any time anyone mentions anything here, you're going to get me asking about it!
Peri, my Mom lives in an assisted living facility in Woodbridge. Nice little town
it is a nice town
bbs
Ata, you can always ask me. While I'm not very religious [actually not at all], I've lived in Israel for a year
TY Bichon, I will!
I'd love to go to Israel
bichon: did you find it difficult to learn modern hebrew?
I need GA6/27 (the last one) and the 7/40 following it
to assemble at the river
ohh, how did i miss that one? thank you babble!
No, as I had never learned biblical Hebrew. It's a very easy language except for a different script and the lack of vowels [the only real difficulty]. The construction of the language is quite regular with a dependence on three letter roots to form word which relate to another. The word for book has a three letter root and words for library and school come from it
There is no continuous tense which simplifies things a whole lot
Im have reached the double digits! 94 to go.
I would like to learn. I'm good with the various scripts. Must try.
The letters [characters] actually do match pictures [have to use imagination].
it has always amazed me that people can read without vowels, simply understanding the context.
There are no lower case or upper case letters, or cursive vs. printed. And, if you're luck there are vowel added by little dots on the bottom of the letters
ummm - the grid just informed me I have less than 1 minute left to finish the puzzle.....
isn't that quite similar to Arabic scripts?
I thought of Hebrew as much simpler than German which has highly complex German.
I'm not familiar at all with Arabic, but I would think so.
*grammar
That happened to me yesterday Trifioso, odd isn't it?
yes, I know the vowels, but reading a newspaper, for example, seems difficult
the no-vowels and dots under letters to show vowels in very arabic
they are both semitic languages, so there must be some similarities.
Some simpler newspapers do have the nikudot [dots] but, yest it is difficult. Fortunately, my emphasis was always on the spoken not written. Englis is so widely used in Israel that not knowing Hebrew is not a handicap. There is also a good English language newspaper, The jerusalem Post
but definitely not similar in aleph-bet
For a Hebrew or Arabic speaker, it is fairly easy to learn the other language. It's widely taught in Hebrew language schools in Israel.
noooo. I tried to learn Egyptian Arabic for a while, and got at least somewhere, if not very very far
thanks bichon, that's very illuminating
yw
Getting back to the task at hand, the se 6/7?
I've been discovering about decoration in synagogues recently
Hebrew is very easy to learn phonetically.
nm/ found it
Synagogues of antiquities ATA?
MAB!!!!
speaking of illumination, right ata?
Yes Mab it is.
vicuna :D
the se 6/7 is a Christian figure. Got to know everything here
Hello, mab. Ata was telling me you've been around. How goes it?
I can read my siddur as easily as if it were in English, but understand only a few words.
well I saw a TV programme about Jewish art and architecture, and saw the Dohány Street Synagogue and fell in love
better, I think, vicuna
I can't focus on religious text, most Hebrew for younger children
Better is good. In fact, better is even better.
Where is the Dohany St. Synagogue
On Dohany Street, of course. (ha ha ha)
it's in Budapest - it's *amazing*
(Pay no attention to me.)
like this: http://tinyurl.com/845cr8
Lucky for you to have been in Budapest. I'd like to travel to Bukovina which is where my grandparents were born. They were from the Ukranian part, but I'd like to see the Romanian part too.
Vi, you'll like too, it's Moorish Revival and incredible
I haven't.... only in photos!
Happy Hanukkah, speaking of Hebrew.
Todah rabah Vicuna ve lecha
\
yah, what she said
mab, when did you start playing Babble?
lol, no idea what that meant, bichon, but I'll assume it wasn't rude! =)
Beautiful, Ata. I love Moorish. This one is surprisingly recent.
ooh, I would love to see that synagogue, or, better yet, have a book on it
that's pretty impressive Ata.
I'm trying desperately to find a book on it
Vicuna, it just means "thank you"
don't know peri, years - back in the Anj and Lola days
Okay! =D
63 to go and i am now stuck!
I have been playing for almost 4 1/2 years. I remember Anj and Lola but I do not remember seeing you
I think the date of membership is on everyone's profile!
what about that bit on the end bichon?
oh, well, nice to meet you, mab
37 left to find and tired of this grid
It looks like mab joined 3 days after me. =)
i hear ya peri!
August 2005
todah rabah means a lot of thanks and lech means to you

Ata's OLD.
Mab, where in Western Mass.?
is the ra6/27 a fish? arrrgggh!
yes, my mother wouldn't let me join until 2005
oh yes :D
June 2006 yikes im so new compared to everyone else
ra6/27 is a compound of 2 fish, but I wouldn't have put them together if I hadn't overseen a clue.
Western Mass
that is such an odd word, the ra6
date of membership is in my profile only because I put it there
bbs after "walkies"
don't have the ra6
Bye, bichon.
It is in the top right hand corner of everyone's profile I peblieve, Peri.
*believe
Have fun on your walkies Bichon!
have fun, bichon!
okay...a little clue for the ra6/27?
ra6 - a convertible, or something that's old cloth on the summit
thanks Vicuna
Oooooo...vicuna...you cured my headache!
yay vi!
Wow, sometimes even I don't know my own magnificent powers for Good.
Haha
just as long as you don't slip into the dark side vi.
so magnificent, i will now grab some wine in your honor.
she would never!
Never, mab! I am a good little girl through and through. Really.
it can happen to anyone ata
not vi, though. maybe FM
Well, mab, if you ever notice me slipping, give me a warning!
help with ra7 please
I am painting my mother's old broom and I'm going to hang it on the wall

thanks lyn

That's a cool project, mab. Any particular colors or designs?
morning all, easy grid - with the list!
dark side light sabre broom handle
not sure vi. trying to channel my mother's energy. ooh, pretty scary
brilliant ataa
Hello, lynxxx.
Was your mother a sith?
I think most people's mothers are on and off!
lol. My mother at her worst is merely cranky.
Oh, I see kwaker is on. He knows my mother, so I'd better be careful what I say about her!
lucky you!
I don't know what a sith is. my mother was bi polar, well, actually, multi polar
evil dark side star wars people
oh, well. yes, that sounds like my mother
but very pretty
Bi-polar probably means *lots* of energy to channel, though.
My mother is the quintessial Jewish mom. She still worries about everything and I'm 62 [she's 84]
awwww
excellent! I'd be a good Sith then!
A cooking question: when roasting vegetables do I cover the pan or not
Yes she was pretty. I have portraits of when she was a teenager - very pretty then and it held.
No Peri
Ata, one can't be a "good" sith! It simply isn't done!
peri, for part of the time. Take it off to let it brown towards the end
ok, got a no and part of the time, hmmm
ok, a good bad Sith!
I have the veggies in a roasting pan rather than on a cookie sheet
I will figure it out, thanks
bbl
when i worked for hospice one of my clients was a 75 year old women whose mother, 100, was taking care of her.
that's incredible
they had too many fights though, and mom had to be sent home.
I'm training the next generation of Babbler here. Son keeps insisting on putting in words he finds. Fabulous, no doubt, but a bit of an interference to me...
Thats what happens when you have kids - they are your responsibilty for life!
are they actual words?
Many of them are. Unfortunately he has yet to come up with a real on I don't already have, though.
awww
Yes, but kids stop being your responsibility and take care of you [if you're lucky]. My daughter calls be every day to see how I am and tell me what my grandaughter is doing
tell him to find something impressive like an 8
that sounds lovely bichon
I do still need an 8, but I'm not optimistic that he'll find it for me. Still, you never know... He is, of course, a Child of Glory and therefore so much smarter than average, etc etc...
he can find both for me!
It certainly doesn't happen with my son, but I do have a nice daughter-in-law
my family is so scrambled
he should be able to manage an 8
tahs
sorry
my family is so smaaaaaall
no my family is small, it is just me my dog and bird and fish
hi Rlee
Hello, Rlee.
hi AT, was trying to be quiet and find words for once :p
Is that your bird? Very handsome.
I found an 8!
i found a st8 but that is the only one
yes her name is Blizzard
I have the st8, too.
hi Rlee. Is that your cockatiel?
there's a po8/50, I just found it woohoo!
*looks for the st8*
Aha! *looking*
lovely bird.
Got it!
spoilt rotten to
does she speak?
got the st!
think of something on a office desk carried on from 6/21 and 7/32
she says No and D and good girl
aww!
and Don't
But I didn't have the pl of the st6 is how dumb I am...
i guess i have told her no and don't to many times
lol, Rlee. At least you must say "good girl," too.
yes, when she is good i tell her
does she beat up the doggy?
she can also make the sound the phone makes, don't know how many times i came running in thinking it was ringing till i caught her, also can bark like my dog
no rides on her back and annoys her when she is trying to sleep
Cute!
awwwww!!
she keeps me on my toes and is good company though
can't find the po8
they are actually very smart, i learned recently, and don't just mimic but actually put words together to express themselves, within a limited range.
po8 is a chemical thing but also a compound...a 3 then 5
it's the plural of a po6, potassium based chemical thingy
k
clue for st8 please
st8 - desk accessories that hold papers together
item found on office desk,plural
Hi Wild, would be found on an office desk
duh ty
staple
stapler
staplers
omg so sorry!1 wrong box
naughty naughty
that sounds familiar
would, uh, those be them??
lol
maybe!!
Bye everyone, have a good day/evening
Can't you just hear Blizzard crying, "No" and "Don't!"
I'm laughing so hard my son is looking at me sideways
Bye, lynxxx.
yes lol
no more clues for me
I don't think we should say yes or no - make em guess
I keep seeing "jogbra." But it probably wouldn't count even if it were in the grid.
loooool
no, but 'teat' is in almost every grid
my phantom is the man that delivers letters
babble has an oral fixation
And a fixation on the other end, as well.
especially the other end!
oh yeah
I have noooo moooore words!
Meaning you've finished the grid, or meaning the grid has finished you?
I have 21 words left and they exist not
Oh yes. I'm sure you're right. May as well just quit.
I suppose I *could* go to the list LOL
I've got 34 left and I'm going for the list. After all, the toilets still need to be cleaned before the evening!
ok, I'll get the list too
Hey, would you look at all those words! lol

Heehee, there's an off po4/9 that really is a fish.

Oh, that comes up in conversation often. Thanks Atlante!

Alrighty, that's me done. And now the toilet-scrubbing awaits. Oh goody.

oh drat you know that was one of the options I didn't choose, knitter! LOL
Im in the Chicago area and it is very very cold, expecting around 6" tomorrow. I think we've had enough. What tray?

well, I still need the 6/21 now. It's not obvious

Fireworks too! Thanks Mary, missed your clue earlier,
YAY saanich!

Howdy! Guess who was here last night???The big cheese herself!!! Car and I finally got her to babble
days finally getting longer in the northern hemisphere (not that you could tell - bitter bitter cold in DC today)
we were desperately hoping you would pop in - how fun would THAT have been?
i saw her here we were actually chatting !!
i think you had slunk away
Hi Torg
seriously? The older one, not the younger one?
Hi and bye guys .. gotta jet ..
oh know i was talking to carole what does the big cheese call herself??
cya torg
no
kadresa
what the heck does that stand for .....
I am thinking of giving car $14.95 in a box for christmas, so she can join....kadresa....same as mine - trifioso
oh duh got it that would be a fun gift
this is addic tive
i have no access to checks right now (grrrrr) so I will have to get the actual cash.
the actual cash would be funnier - nicely wreapped gift box, ribbons and bows
or maybe I could email dr. god, or whatever his name is, and ask him how to make a present of a membership - I am sure I am not the first to ask.
no others have doen so before trying to think of who gifted a membership.. stid still here she might remember or herin
think jade gifted
you might be correct dorens
whatevs. I will figure it out somehow. the easiest answer is to GET MORE CHECKS. Have to convince the DH
how about a roll of quarters, roll of nickels and then the remaining change
Help! - can't find at5,16 . . .
oh, that would be amusing.
can't help rosalie, I am lost on that one too.

Well, I am done for the day. Not finished, but done. The day has become dark while I played and now the lights need to be turned on. We are thankful to be warm and dry these days. Cold weather and all. I have decided money riches are for the suckers.

it sold electronics,feather
stereo, tv, electronics
got those, br...any others?
high end audio/video store
our tweeter was going out of business 2 months ago
ah, ok.

In a career that has spanned nearly five decades and millions of records, The Crickets are unquestionably The American Rock and Roll band. Since the group’s founding in 1957 they have influenced virtually every major rock performer in the United States and abroad – from Bruce Springsteen and Bob Dylan to the Rolling Stones and the Beatles (whose name was even Crickets-inspired).
If I dip them in candy sprinkles will they pass???

Hi there Scrabbler>
My last Xmas purchases got delivered today--yippee! Guess what I bought for myself?
what??
skis? tennis racket?
what did you get?
what'd ya get, scrabs?
a mountain bike?
a bunny?
a dictionary?
A labeler! I can print labels--different fonts, etc, with different types of labels(white/clear, etc)--I splurged and spent $20 on myself!
a thesaurus?
LOL!
Nice...those are fun!
wtg scrab
WOW scrabs
hey ya'll
hey, lex
hi lex
speaking of ordering gifts online...I have to go and leave a "feedback" for my recent purchase...
hiya - back to finish up, hopefully....

sh6/27?
Now you are just too cool.
hey une - rick
scrabbler, you are gonna LOVE that labeler. I got one as a gift a couple of years ago, and it is just great.
jane - cooking sh***** - a wine
I am very frugal. I already got a foster bunny in May soon after Callie died. I would love a new mountainbike, a laptop, lots of books, home improvements, etc....but for now I can make labels. I hope I can keep my label-making under control.
thanks
label the bunny
ever read Mrs. Piggle Wiggle?
"mine" or "Foster"
I could make 4 labels for the bunnies!
is it the one made by brother? if it is, make a note (or a label!) that says what type of replacement label you need, I think it is either m or z, and leave it in your wallet. I always seem to forget whilst I am at the store, and come home with the wrong size. grrrr
at 5/16?? help

jm--I was thinking of Mrs Tiggy Winkle--you mentioned Miss Piggle Wiggle.
Miss Piggle Wiggle labeled one child's things
Hi Autumn
Oh, I will check it out, jm.
I don't know Mrs Tiggy WInkle
Beatrix Potter wrote about Mrs Tiggy Winkle.I loveBPs drawings.
my favorite is jeremy fisher
Mrs. Piggle Wiggle is a an old woman who lives in an upside down house
So, yes, I bought myself a labeler because I have wanted one for a while.
I just read Jeremy Fisher to my friend Mary's son.
scrabbler, somewhere I have a set of BP books from when my grandfather was a child, circa 1906, I think. The bindings have perished, and someday I want to get them resewn. I wish you could see them sometime
I have all kinds of the figurines
I have the Italian version of Peter Rabbit.
I love the ballet movie of the takes of BP
Me too, DR.
I watched the movie,Miss Potter.
it was a birthday present
es, me too scrabs
I had former bunnies named Peter Rabbit and Benjamin Bunny and now I have Beatrix Potter!
there is a house near me that looks like Peter Rabbits house it is white with green and orange trim!
I have bunny-everything around my house--pics, figurines....it is Rabbitat here!
I would like to live in the Shire of Middle Earth--hobbits have the coolest homes!

but I try to see good in everyone
PUG! just noticed your icon. THANK YOU
or ignore them... lol
yummy isn't it?
tri, what is that photo of?? corks floating in tea?
cocoa
i was widowed and now remarried. life gives us lots of challenges. yes indeed. remarried 36 yrs ago and was great for first 20 yrs but now challenging. yup.
I uploaded it earlier for someone who was pining because I mentioned I had made some for the girls when they came in from playing in the snow
oh, mkg, that does sound difficult. bless you, dear one
now you made me want cocoa
although hot Ovaltine is better,,,,
oh cocoa...........................wow. i missed it totally. never thought of marshmellows. looked like corks to me. so silly!
wish i had some
no blessing needed. i never got over it and ruined the rest of my life by that. long story and not for thhis chat indeed. ruined my entire life.
I will just say I have had many hardships and they have made me what I am.
Ovaltine always reminds me of Young Frankenstein
oh, mkg. I will bless you anyway....
I love Young Frankenstein
my FAVORITE Comedy!
blessings and prayers are always good
because, g-d only gives you what you can handle is not true
I'll second that emotion DR
I know, I know, it will make me stronger and all that. Thing is, I didn't want this. Any of it. Maybe our life wasn't moonlight and roses, but it worked. and now it is fraught with tension and I have to change so many things about my life all at once, and i resent being forced to do it in a time frame that has been shoved at me
ty ty but well, what can i say............
back to the grid...do the st 6, 7, 8, build off each other? I hope so....

You can give it to me!!!!
Thanks for your help. It's already a hald hour past bedtime so I must run. I don't finish too many these days.
*half
how many left?
moon, I think somebody makes a hard-top convertible :)
hi tyger...
...yes, there are some car mfgs that do
I'm sure you're too young to recall the hardtop Ford convertibles of the 1950s :D
hey, peeps
I think it's just you, me, and the lurkers...
or you could get a gullwing or butterfly wing car. those are neat (but you'd need lottery winnings) :D
...that's gonna be tough since I don't every buy lottery tickets, etc.
me either ;P
moon left, huh?
went to bed
Hi everyone, hoping for a small one tonight
137 words would be just fine
hey, flosey, me too & three :)
hi flosey
quiet in here tonight, does that mean everyone finished?
hello all
hi jilli...
hi jilli
No, I didn't finish -- too busy
not sure...no one's talkin', flosey
hey, jilli
flosey, I think it may mean a lot are out doing Xmas shopping
ah, nice vintage Christmas card jilli
sorry about the no soup, but I don't have a recipe other than my secret Potage Mongole
I finished less than 10 mins ago
I didn't see that the icon was changed!
I do have one, will see if I can find it
I didn't do a soup one
I was struggling with the bottom of the alphabet
bbs
flosey -- you got it right -- it's supposed to be soup today
flosey, I reloaded and it's showing carrot soup
did y'all finish?
but it was showing that when you came in
I did, barely
dang, I got flosey all confused -- I'm using the next icon because I don't have a soup
and I won't have time tomorrow -- family coming and things to do
this is certainly soup weather here right now, but they're predicting low 70s Wed thru Fri
her soup looks so good!
it's pretty, and I love raw carrots - especially freshly grated - but carrot soup is somehow not that appealing. I do like roast carrots, or carrots IN soup
what I'd love to have is a nice bowl of onion soup with a nice thick layer of melted cheese on top
tyger, we are piled high with snow here
the dark, well-sauteed onions :)
how are your roads, jilli?
under the cheese on the onion soup must be a slice of French bread!
I haven't been out but my neighbour says they're passable
crisp french bread
brb...pup patrol
oh yes, ruru!
finally laundry all done
I don't require the bread, just dark soup full of onions, with lotsa light cheese on top, oven-warmed until it has a nice golden brown top
vg, cj
hey, ruru
then your family should have no problem getting there?
the trick is sauteeing the onions with just a little butter and a tablespoon of basalmic vinegar..
so I'm told, tyger!
mmmm, ruru!
stock should be chicken and duck (if you can do it)
I prefer a beef stock, not too salty
darn, can't find it, I know I had it on here. Hubby has his mom's scrapbook of old Christmas cards - there was a full page write-up in the Times-Colonist about it
chicken is okay, but no duck, thx
flosey -- vintage card is the NEXT theme -- I jumped the gun, so please keep your lovely soup!
just realized I barked my thumb knuckle a good one getting back to the computer last time. there's a drop of blood
I don't make French Onion Soup, just like the kind we used to get at MOntreal restaurants
with french onion soup it is really important to cut back (way back0 on the salt.. that is a mistake most chefs make.
I'm watching the Nutcracker on PBS, by the San Francisco Ballet = lovely
we *very* definitely agree on that, ruru!
back
and original
I love french onion soup, haven't made it in a long time, must do that soon
otherwise you can't taste the carmelized onions and the stock
just the tiniest bit of salt is right in onion soup. it overpowers the onions, somehow
I should post my recipe.. it is really very good.
caramelized
the cheese has plenty of salt in it; no more is really needed
you do that, ruru!
thank you professor jilli
please do ru, we both have to cut back on salt here
or you can come here and cook up a storm :)
