ruru, you rebel

12:55 am

I was commenting on my reaching my goal! Yeah, that's it! Honest!

12:57 am

Well, mrp, let's just say that in the past it's been heavily frowned upon in the first hour.

12:57 am

And that's fine also. I wasn't really asking for a clue, just whining out loud.

12:57 am

glad those 'first hour frowners' don't start in the first hour anymore!

ditto that mrp... and they certainly could just turn off the chat :)

2:26 am

That sounds like a French restaurant name rolin

2:27 am

Andree. Have you noticed that the Mandarin Centre smells like Hong Kong?

2:28 am

i was in HK ...ooooohhh...erm...27 years ago.??... cept for the odd stopover at the airport

thats because its full of chinese tourists

I swear I was in Wan Cha when I was there the other day

2:31 am

a good morning to all! MrP, Caya says it was super duper incredibly fun!

I have been trying to use the C in that

stupid me

hi sprite! that is wonderful!! glad they could communicate so well!

and I kept my PROMISE!

2:53 am

caya said reading went fine, writing was sometimes a little hard. But I said Maddison understood her anyway, she doesn't have to be perfect :)

2:53 am

hi sprite

2:54 am

hey sprite!!!!!!!! :)

2:54 am

lol yes you did. I kinda trusted you would, anyway, lol.

Hi! Back from the kitchen. Walter regarded the ice cream dubiously and said he wouldn't eat it and i reminded him that he has been bugging me for months about this and he made it himself and it's his favorite flavor so he was darned well going to try it. ow he's headed swiftly toward needing a second bowl of it.

HI SPRITE!

2:54 am

hiya Andree and chickie and MonkeyG too :)

2:55 am

good parenting, MonkeyG.

2:55 am

hi monkey :)

2:55 am

oh, yes, there is a grid too, let's have a look *grin*

2:55 am

hello everyone - hows the grid today?

Got to try to keep him a little quite today if possible. So I'm glad he's eating the ice cream.

2:56 am

morning all - grid looks interesting today

2:56 am

hi J not to bad :)

Not bad at all so far, but I am only at 29 words so no promises.

2:57 am

hi 99 it is :)

2:57 am

i see we have a z and some u's - those can be fun sometimes

2:57 am

snap monkey

2:57 am

unh?? :)

2:58 am

hi kazz and jman

2:58 am

hey JMann and tinks

2:58 am

hello andree and sprite

2:58 am

o darn, and an icon theme. Have been bad yesterday evening, went to bed without changing it.

2:59 am

I do belive the whole world is wakeing up :)

Anyone know how long one leaves the tape over a wound that was glued closed? They forgot to tell me last night and my doctor's on vacation. I can call another one though...

at least till it is peeling off

then you have to replace the tape

3:01 am

sorry monkey - i have no idea. would guess at a few days tho

OK, that's about what I figured.

3:01 am

glued closed??

get 'micropore' tape from the chemist

yes, they glue close kids wounds

Oh, replace it... I'll call. We are talking about a 1 cm long, but quite deep forehead wound.

Yes, chickie, they did that at the ER.

yes, replace the tape...

3:02 am

steri strips

OK. Nobody said. I will call a doctor later just to get more info. All they told me was keep it dry for a couple of days...

3:03 am

I see,i've never heard of that before. :0

3:03 am

my dad had his head glued closed - left it until it wore off

3:03 am

I meant if it is steri strips and not tape you can leave it on for a few days at least

OK!

monkey, leave it there till it falls off

3:03 am

didn't wash it for a few days tho

It is whatever transparant-like tape or strip they put over stitched wounds.

Will do, Mr. P! That was my instinct too.

yes, that is steri-strips

3:04 am

just leave it monkey until it goes

3:04 am

sounds like steri strips - you can leave those on for weeks

3:05 am

apparently super glue was invented at the time of the vietnam war to make wounds seal as quickly as possible

3:05 am

be gentle with it in the meantime

if you google micropore... that is for scars to heal properly

OK, good. Because he gets a rash from regular band aids; glad this is different.

3:05 am

hi rolin :)

I am being overwhelmingly gentle with it but he is, well, four, so I am having to constantly intervene: he was about to drag his sirt collar over it this morning...

Will look up micropore.

Trying to keep him quiet for at least one day...

3:06 am

ok icon theme updated and all. Now to find my first word!

3:07 am

how did he get hurt monkey?

Will hunt for a new icon in a bit!

well done sprite! Maddison said they had a lot of fun!

3:07 am

Caya feels the same :)

He was helping set the table and he turned around to head for the kitchen, tripped and went right down. I think he banged his head on the vacuum cleaner. No concussion.

3:08 am

lol - that's kids for you monkey. i suspect the glue will hold - just let him get on with stuff. he should be ok for normal day to day stuff as long as you don't scrub it which i don't expect you would :-)

Monkey, I had my portacath removed... I have to put micropore over my scar for three months, but that is on my breast... different type of skin to the face. Still, ask about covering the scar so that it minimizes the scarring

3:09 am

ouch,poor little guy!! :(

3:09 am

not alltogether sure about this grid. Are there actually more than 10 words in it?

No, will NOT be scrubbing it! It's just that he is a little pale. I'm not tring to make him sit still or anything, but I did decide to skip the daily trip to jump off tree stumps and generally raise havoic in the woods with the dog. We can all survive skipping one day.

3:09 am

dad's wound was on the top of his head. he's old and quite fragile but it healed very well with just the one glue application

funny enough, I only have 10 words sprite!

3:09 am

lol mrP!

3:09 am

same brick wall?

Good to know, Mr. P, and i will definitely inform myself about that!

nah,,, I talk too much!

This one is close enough to the hairline that he won't get called Harry Potter later...

Monkey, we can exchange home goods war stories!!

OK!

3:10 am

harry p might have been quite cool :-)

3:11 am

*kicks self into wordfinding gear* MonkeyG, Tim has a scar over his eyebrow from trying to stop a canoe with his head. But it looks sexy.

3:11 am

they glued my sons head together and the instructions were to leave the tape on for a few days to let it settle - mind you rich managed to do exactly the same thing in almost the same place 4 week later and then they had to stitch which lead to much wailing and squirming on his partb(and mine) as they dont use locals on little kids here

Maddison did a swan dive off the lounge into an airconditioner unit...

they don't use locals?? how unusual!

Ouch, ouch... How do we survive to grow up? I was a concussion expert until I was 7 or so, myself.

3:12 am

kids seem to be so unaware of danger - i haven't any of my own but my friends lad seems to have a habit of aiming his head at things...

3:13 am

they do not often use them here either, mrP. Not if they can stitch it with a few stitches. The local can be very painful too.

3:13 am

Apparently little uns skin heals remarkably quickly but local slows the effect down and they bleed for a lot longer with a local

3:13 am

could someone please remove the platypus from the grid?

I had almost the same injury as Walter has now only quite a lot worse when I was his age. I reemmber every detail about the event. What I was doing and why, why I fell, what people around me said, the IV, the discussion at the hospital about whether to stitch or hitch... I epect he'll remember this too.

3:14 am

my 34 year old son has just had a nose reconstruction, specialist said he must have broken it when young!!! i must have been dozing on the job as i had no idea

Oh wow! Walter fell right on his nose a couple of weeks ago (I'm blaming a growth spurt for all this, as he is usually extremely well balanced and never fell as a toddler). Hope I don't hear something like that when he's 34...

or he didn't tell you about the punch up at school!!

3:15 am

andree - i had a habit of bashing my nose as a kid - maybe that's why i sonore now...

3:16 am

thats how it got fixed tinks, his wife kicked him out of bed till he did something about the snoring

OK, Walter wants to play this card game now, so it's off with me for a while. Have fun folks!

3:17 am

lol andree - i've always hated my nose, it does have a bump of displaced bone if you feel it. maybe i'd qualify for a nose job on the nhs :-)

3:17 am

take care monkey and watler

3:17 am

the specialist found a tumour in one side and deviated septum on the other, he said he did not know how he could breath

3:18 am

wow - that's extreme andree

3:19 am

my little joke was to ask him why he didn't get a different nose

3:20 am

lol!

3:20 am

presumably he's ok now?

3:21 am

bye Monkey and Walter

3:21 am

surgery these days is amazing, other than not being able to do any lifting for a couple of months and making sure he doesn't bump his nose he looked pefectly normal christmas day, 5 days after surgery

3:22 am

i can remember patients from my nusing days looking like they were beaten up

3:22 am

that's good news

3:23 am

bye guys lol

3:23 am

take care chickie

3:23 am

that is incredible, Andree. And don't feel bad about not noticing, broken noses are hard to diagnose. Mine was broken by bumping into a glass wall at work and I worked almost all day before the company doctor came over and said it was broken. I had instinctively put it back straight on after the collision and he said that was all there could be done anyway, it had to heal by itself.

3:23 am

bye chickie

3:23 am

owh! sprite!!

3:24 am

ouch!!

3:24 am

yeah, mind, that was in the old days when I still thought I should be able to work under any circumstance. Like right after they removed a huge (benign) tumor, and after a broken nose and such.

3:25 am

I have learned since. I am much kinder to me now.

3:25 am

anyone got the 2nd 8 yet?

3:25 am

those days will return sprite, just take a day at a time

3:26 am

Annie you can have cake

7:49 am

lol sec one

7:50 am

thanks, herin....

is having a banana. Before that, two pieces of ham. Before that, for official snack time he had popcorn AND a muffin. Before that, big whole grain crackers with butter, before that ham sandwich, before that the ice cream we made, before that breakfast: 10 poffertjes! Meanwhile also a big glass of warm milk, two glasses of forest fruits juice, and two glasses of water. He gets like this about once a year.

7:51 am

Please repeat the clue for the EO word. Thanks.

7:51 am

the monkey is about to have a growth spurt!

I think he's eaten at least half his own weight now...

Monkey just wait until his teens

7:51 am

no 4/5 sec one?

7:51 am

morning all, by the wya

OH mmmmm I love Poffertjes

7:51 am

Hi Trif

HI Trifs

It's been my theory about the falls, that's for sure. I always got clumsy for major growth spurts.

Hi Trif!!!!!

7:52 am

herin, did himself mean to work for free, or has the company made a mistake on the OT? I worked for a place that did that once, and they did correct it.

well no. But there was always an unwritten thing that if he turned up late big deal. A weak before Christmas they docked him 15 min (he said he started at 730am on a Saturday but they said 745)

And no they aren't going to fix it

7:53 am

or4/5?

7:54 am

on 4/5 sec one?

Don't have it, Lynn, sorry!

Eo a long time

7:54 am

is he at least going to stop, or curtail, the amount of over time he works until they DO pay him? or is that too dangerous right now, due to the economic climate?

Nope, my o's are a bit thin on the ground.

7:54 am

grrrr 6left

he walks out after 8 hours

7:55 am

od 5/12?

Old movie theater chain, Lynn.

7:56 am

nm

7:56 am

so 5/20?

Not a chance, sorry.

Poor Walter wants a shower now. Sigh. Have to keep this dry for two days. He's being diplomatically understanding about it.

7:57 am

ty no so yet

Trifs he isn't goint to loose his job not the industry hes in

Monkey what did Walter do?

7:58 am

well, that is goodl. I think it is really good that he has set a firm line now. he isn't a volunteer, after all!

damn straight. he knows i would have flipped if he told me the figures not the hours

Oh, you didn't hear about that? He fell down last night just before dinner and cut his head, had to call an ambulance. We had to go in with them and have it glued. He's OK though!

ouch. Poor kid

7:59 am

geesh, monkey, I didn't know either! poor little man. tell him we all send babble kisses

Yup. But he was SUCH a good boy about it all, and then had a big dinner and a good night's sleep. He's a bit pale and tired today but no concussion or anything. And the scar will be high enough he probably won't get called Harry Potter.

8:00 am

oh, btw mg, my neighbor is on her way to you! she is probably there by now. if you see a lovely dutch lady walking around with two american girls and an irishman, that's her!

mmmm Dutch pancake thingies

8:00 am

so 5/12 anyone 4 left grrrr

8:01 am

i only have the 5.14, sorry!

OK! Will theye be visiting Haarlem?

not on it yet

8:01 am

su 5/12?

Herin, there's a restaurant downtown that has more than 200 kinds of pancakes.

Not the 12, Lynn, sorry!

8:02 am

don't know, her family lives in amsterdam, about a block away from the Frank house! her BF is the irish guy, and I don't think he has been to holland before, so perhaps they will do some touring?

Personally I like their brie and smoked ham one with leeks.

oh yum. I love the poffertjes. We buy them either at the market or the time we went to the Teslar Tulip festivle

8:03 am

no 4/5?

8:03 am

I am all over the place on this one hoping something jumps out....we must all be in melt-down mode from the holiday!

What reader did you buy? I bought the Sony 700, but there are problems reading it on cloudy days.

8:39 am

ahem teamrivas...

8:40 am

sorry\

8:40 am

we love the sony 700 godthab,you do have to pick your viewing locations,but all the other features outweigh that by a mile

8:40 am

i didn't move mh stupid mouse

8:41 am

hi all just slipping in before heading for work

bak

8:41 am

Of all the readers I looked at, that seemed to be the best. I guess we will have to wait for sunny days.

8:41 am

it happens team...

what about cloudy days? it has solar panels on it?

8:41 am

and also godthaab,the kindle was a non starter for us because it is for u.s residents only

god, just get a lamp. works fine for me with my solar-powered calculator 8-)

8:42 am

my wife is vision impared and does most of her reading indoors or in the car and has no problem

hi all

8:42 am

ru 6 --- hind part of an animal and you and me and anyone else with **

8:42 am

howdy to

8:43 am

hi TO

8:43 am

No, it is difficult to read without a lot aof ambient light. The lights on the reader just light up the side. My Mother - in - Law has macular degeneration and she had a hard time with it yesterday; it was very cloudy here.

8:43 am

hi TO - just leaving - time for a break - only found 51 - tough grid - BBL - Happy babbling all "POOF"

8:43 am

hi Owl, I called the Sleep Study place and left a message for Josh to call me back

later monty

how big is the screen on this reader? (in inches)

good, peri. hope it works out for you.

8:44 am

may you excel today in the craft of life, Luc

8:44 am

we will see, I do need the money

8:44 am

mmm my better halfs vision is 20/400 and what i do is set up a lamp at her ten o,clock position and all is well if you have it hanging overhead it may be an issue

peri i was just trying to find a perkins retaurant - i promised myslef breakfast as a holiday treat. but there aren't too many here :(

8:45 am

The whole reader will fit into one hand. It has adjustable font sizes.

peri are you working at all now?

8:45 am

We tried it with the lamp, but her eyesight is not good enough.

8:45 am

hello

8:45 am

that was one of our buying points,she reads at the xxl adjustment with the page turned sideways

8:45 am

no, I am not

so, i could set it to huge typeface size and see only one letter at atime? 8-)

8:46 am

ok got a cup of tea back to the puzzle

oh sorry i thought you might have worked for the season, reatil is crying for help and boscov's hired peple just to giftwrap

8:46 am

not quite like that gwen,but 4 words per line

8:46 am

there is a Perkins restaurant on Lansdowne Ave. in Delaware County :-)

8:46 am

have you tried a lamp with a high intensity bulb or halogen bulb? they work for my mother

8:46 am

yes as jm says,your bulb choice is critical

8:46 am

Well, not quite that big. You cold set it up so that the large font will yield about 20-30 words on a page.

8:46 am

worked at Chico's last year and did not like it

is it a good one>? there is one mear me that i wouldn't partonize if i were starving.

8:47 am

never ate there, Owl

8:47 am

I haven't tried the halogen. that might be a good idea.

8:47 am

are we all cool? can we enjoy some cookies now? my treat...

8:47 am

you have some clear 3 way 150 watt bulb,you will get glare

8:47 am

OK, I will try that!

8:48 am

She now has two as well as a lamp with multiple regular bulbs for ambient light.

do you know how many titles are available as downloads for this reader? (approx) and if they are generally fiction, or what?

holiday is much more fast paced, that makes the time go by quickly. at mall near me macy's hires people who don't speak english to wait customers :/

8:48 am

the halogen bulbs don't seem to cause as much glare

8:48 am

really?

oooh, cookies!

8:48 am

help with al6 please

good reason to stop shopping at macys?

8:49 am

NM found it on morewords

8:49 am

i researched the heck out of this god,took me over a year to weigh the pros and cons of all the readers out there,so if you have any questions you can get me at chipdip33@hotmail.com and i will help as i can.my lady can now read for the first time in ten years thanks to this thing;)

i think i'd forgotten that there WERE malls...

8:51 am

mmm, i don't know if i know any pakistani holiday greetings

8:51 am

I rarely shop at malls, go to thrift stores or discount stores

don't see a network in there

8:52 am

better off without them hurshy,the small unique mom and pop stores are much more relaxing

8:52 am

al 6 --- add a biblical pharasee: ****demus

peri this year hte malls beat marshall's and tj maxx [rcies et al

i did some shopping at one of the last independent used book stores in the area. a civic duty IMO

8:52 am

I think you are confusing that with algorithm

8:52 am

I love used book stores

8:53 am

i can spend hours in them peri:)

jmc, you are spoiling my joke LOL

8:53 am

i meant cause of shopping online... but i did go to one store the day after christmas! savers!

8:53 am

Temple.... its only part of a network.

8:53 am

Crosshair - thank yo. I have looked around a lot as well and this seemed to be the best one. I also agree that the buttons are not user freindly for her; she can't always see them. Also, why do they just make the fonts enlargeable (sic) with the pages of the book. She has problems finding the book on the opening page - the font size doesn't change there.

yes, whenever i get some extra money i blow it on books. silly me. 8-)

8:53 am

i got an entire wardrobe for less than what many women spend on one outfit...

guess what i gave as gifts? um-hum, books! (and some DVDs)

8:54 am

wish I had extra money to take advantage of the great after Xmas sales :(

8:54 am

not a problem gwen,books are a warm hug with a hot tea on a cold day:)

i got four tops at macy's pre holiday for 61.00. three were charter club which is a decent brand and one was INC which is an upscalee brand. it certainly was a different world out there this year.

8:55 am

I love to give books as gifts espec for babies and little kids

8:55 am

my great niece just turned 5 and she has a great library

8:55 am

of her own

8:55 am

I love books, too, but have been sufering because our library is being "rebuilt" three years and counting

8:55 am

i got: 6 sweaters, 5 blouses, and 8 pairs of pants, for $137

more importantly they were very nice and to my taste exactly - looked for a purple top and found one for 9.75!

i got 200 books for $35

hurshy: sweeeeeeeeeeeet

8:56 am

that is great hurshy!!

8:56 am

wow Book doctor!

8:56 am

god,my lady never uses the bottom row buttons she just has it go right to the option page and all the selections are large there,and each book i download has a cover page(and yes the fonts can be small) so she just skips forward to page one and starts reading.dont forget to rotate the page as that helps also

8:56 am

woohoo, BDG

peri, if your great aunt ever decides to sell, call me!

8:56 am

i guess we all love our bargains :)

8:57 am

were did you shop, hurshy?

butmost of the 200 books were (essentially) junk so they went right to a charity

8:57 am

savers

i don't buy books anymore. have a few classics and rarities and cookbooks then borrow from library. clutter reductin program.

8:57 am

Gwen, you mean my great niece who is 5?

my ears are unable to detect those words, TO

8:58 am

I use the public library a lot and only buy reference books

8:58 am

we are getting a brand new 10 million dollar library:)

uh, i thought you said great aunt. well, if your great nieve ever decides to sell, call me then, too 8-)

gwen: i am really into out with the old and get ready for the new.and the new does not include things - as much as i can unmaterialize myself.

8:59 am

lol gwen,you could smell first editions there for a second lol

8:59 am

i agree with TO - I have been using our library a LOT more in the past few years. we have an online service too, whereby 20 or so local libraries are linked, and I can search online for a book, and check it out from any of the member libraries, and they deliver it to my local, where I pick it up. it's BRILLIANT

whereas i revel in my addiction to books, so to speak

however, i do plan a trip to our taj mahal library this week, i have been keeping a list of book reviews.

8:59 am

the libraries do that here too, Trif. It is a great service

8:59 am

good morning all, 119 to go~

yes we can search the whole state and order books to our local library.

9:00 am

ditto here, gwen

9:00 am

good morning all

9:00 am

the kids like to go to the diff library activities, and i like most of the staff there, so it's win win

9:00 am

back in 15 min...semi poof

9:00 am

TO, kudos to you re library use! In addition to not buying new, I support my local library AND get fabulous deals at their twice-yearly book sale--many of the donated books are "like new" . . . wonderful for Xmas and birthday!

9:00 am

the do7 reminds me, in an anagram-type way, of a Venetian water craft.

9:01 am

I do buy books at the library and then give them away or give them back to the library to resell

9:01 am

i'm a reveller too. but then again, i love to re-read, so i have to have the books here. books, for me, are like food. you have to keep certain things around for when the craving strikes.

9:01 am

(most are $1.00-2.00)

9:01 am

une, I agree! a fellow book-lover and I were just oohing and aahing over the upcoming sale in the next town - their sale is amazing, and so well organized!

9:01 am

same here, peri!

9:02 am

I buy great books at thrift stores too

yes hursh i do agree, and it can ne the oddest stuff, too! like comfort food.

i'm going to be driving 45 minutes to a big library sale in January. it's a disease LOL

9:02 am

books are like bread...the staff of life

une: HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

9:03 am

i got an 8!

9:03 am

I've bought all my amazing book buys at charity shops, a few I've bought for 50p and sold for over £200

9:03 am

our sales are sponsored by Friends of the LIbrary and volunteers receive $10 vouchers for every day they volunteer--and I'm usually there at least two days!

9:03 am

thanks, TO

9:03 am

how do you all decide what to read next? I tend to find lists I like, and work off those. right now I am trying to read all the books that won the pulitzer for literature....some years the prize was given for the books with the most pages, I SWEAR

atalante, that's my goal every day 8-)

9:04 am

Trif, I tend to find an author I like, then read EVERYTHING that person has written :-)

9:04 am

is it your birthday, Une. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU. I forgot how to say Happy Birthday in French

9:04 am

where do you sell them ata, online?

hi. ata! trif i read book reviews and also check out authors i see/hear interviewed

9:04 am

happy birthday to une!!

9:04 am

I have my favorite authors. Always on the lookout for their latest book.

9:04 am

yes, thanks!

9:04 am

bonne anniversaire

trif, i alwasy have a pile of stuff to read. i've only just cracked the surface of my current favorite topic, and justkeep buying books that fit into it

9:04 am

thanks, hursh et al!

9:04 am

mine too, practice for when I have myown book store too :P

i am into nonfiction also so check out current events

9:04 am

happy birthday UNE!

9:04 am

my favorite authors are all dead, so i can't be on the lookout for their latest stuff :)

9:05 am

Also love the Playaway books now available from the library!

atalante, are you on BI?

9:05 am

thanks, Ata!

9:05 am

Right now, I am trying to read everything that Henning Mankell wrote that has been translated...I just ordered The Pyramid from Amazon...books are my only vice

9:05 am

merci, hurshy

9:05 am

one of the things i miss most about being in a book club is the exposure to new books. the diff members took turns picking out the books we would read, and they would always pick books that I would never have found and many of them i really loved. it was great

*plces hands over ears* lalaLA la laaaaaaaaaaa

9:06 am

happy birthday une!

9:06 am

thanks, Harp! :-)

9:06 am

i received a bunch of new books for christmas, and im thrilled, as ive been without new books for a while!

9:06 am

eva, i had the exact opposite - NO books this year! horros

trif there is a babble books thread somewhere

9:07 am

I also received 3 gift certs to Barnes and Noble and I am thrilled

9:07 am

no, i'm not that organised or anything. I generally look for children's books and I know who I can sell them to here for decent prices. I'm thinking of starting to sell on ABE or something though too

9:07 am

what books did you get evaN?

does anyone know if it's still active?

9:07 am

the Venetian water craft is in the grid also, from my do7 clue earlier.

9:07 am

don't know, Owl

9:07 am

trif -- i had a list of books i wanted, but i wasnt allowed to buy them, since it was christmas...

9:07 am

there's a babble group on Goodreads

9:07 am

i got the other 8!

ata, don't sell on abe! don't get sucked into the den of evil!! (seriously)

9:08 am

wow, Annie!!! I rec'd my annual Amazon gift card from friends in Shreveport . . . but this year I passed it along to my daughter for UMich books!

9:08 am

hurshy - have you read Margaret Atwood?

9:08 am

but i dont' think it's too active

9:08 am

ok! is it that bad??!

9:08 am

love her. ata!!!!!!!!!

9:08 am

ata, I love her so much I almost named my first daughter margaret!

9:08 am

i just started this morning on "The Sign for Drowning" by Rachel Stolzman

i read the handmaid's tale

9:08 am

Uneaixoise, just passing through on my way to give Spangle her afternoon walk - Happy Birthday!

ata, they are the worst of the Big Three, IMO

9:08 am

trif, LOL!

9:08 am

hmmm, don't remember (it is making me think of margaret dashwood in sense & sensibility)

9:08 am

worst how?

9:09 am

what are the other two, Gwen?

9:09 am

I'm wondering if hurshy would like her as an alternative to her dead authors. I think you would, hurshy. The Blind Assassin, Alias Grace, Cat's Eye etc

9:09 am

Hi Haz!

am sitting here with a book review snippet for "The Bone Garden"

une, are you asking about abe?

9:09 am

hi haz! hi glittery one!

hi haz! did yo have a good holiday?

9:09 am

I gave away lots of books in the past few years, to neighbors, family and library

9:09 am

yes, Gwen

9:09 am

yes, Gwen

9:09 am

happy birthday Une and all other holiday birthday persons

9:10 am

hey, haz!!

9:10 am

i also got "Holy Blood, Holy Grail," "Sickened" by Julie Gregory, "Skeletons at the Feast" by Christopher Bohjalian, and something else my BF got me that i hadnt asked for that looks good...

9:10 am

Hello Annie and everyone. Yes, Christmas was very enjoyable though never a holiday!

9:10 am

tx, teach :-)

the Big Three are abebooks.com, amazon.com, alibris.com : all are commerce portals where amateurs (and pros) can sell used books

9:10 am

having trouble with the C words

9:10 am

my co6 introduces me to new things, too, so i'm not completely stuck in my own wonderful rut :)

9:10 am

which is the best, Gwen

9:10 am

what is so bad about them? do they have bad practices or something?

9:10 am

have that one, hursh

9:10 am

oh you'll have fun with Holy Blood, Holy Grail

9:10 am

is it because you feel they should be sold at local bookstores?

peri, they are all evil, and nonei s "best" but abe is worst. it's a toss-up between amazon and alibris for the other spots

9:11 am

understandable . . .

9:11 am

she gave me a terry pratchett book for christmas

9:11 am

is abe okay to buy books from? The few books I do buy onliine I buy from Amazon

une, no, i am not against online commerce at all. that's how i make my living. i am against slavery and serfdom and that's hhow theseportals treat their vendors

9:11 am

ci6/24 ash

9:11 am

have that, Une, thanks

9:11 am

(ci6/24 is also one of my cats!)

9:12 am

oh, really? hmmm

9:12 am

i am completely grid locked. haven't put in a word in ages

9:12 am

ata -- i love the davinci code + that sort of thing, so i thought reading something non-fiction on the subject would be interesting...

9:12 am

co5/16 same as co5/14, change middle letter

of course, buy books at your local store, if you can. when a book is out of print and hard to find, online is certainly the way to go

me, too. time to get out and about in this nice weather.

9:12 am

oh it's fabulous. fabulously good and fabulously bad and just don't trust the authors as far as you can throw the book lol

btw you bibliophiles, i am looking for the cbildren's hour anthology of childrens literature circa 1957 16 volumes, i have eight of them

my problem with abe is their bad treatment of their own vendors is far and away worse that how the other As treat us

9:14 am

evil ppl. That's a shame. I've had some wonderful books from abe so they were my favourite as a buyer

have only ever found them at a hospital thrift shop. my mom gave away my set to scholl library. she was not a reader and did not know they would have sentimental value as well asliterary value.

abe is not a bookseller; it's a portal. you might get great service from a vendor there, and you might not

gwen, may i give you more details sometime? you are very into the book scene

TO, sure, if you want to email me it's gwenfoss@netrek.net

finding the missing vols of a set is a crapshoot, so don't get your hopes up too high

9:16 am

gwen, this local duo makes me grin--they won't take certain categories, like Grisham and his ilk and Reader's Digest, encyclopedias . . .

9:16 am

but it *is* possible, don't despair

une, no bookseller who knows the trade will take that stuff. sounds likethey are smart

9:16 am

hmph, i don't like MU words

9:17 am

when I was a child, I LOVED visiting my great aunt who had a children's bookstore . . . BUT she considered Nancy Drew to be "trash" LOL!!

ty gwen. especially children's lit, they get torn and dogeared. must fly now.

9:17 am

9:26 am

i hope it occurs to my husband to stop and buy me something delicious on his way back from campus...

9:26 am

here's a pic of my first bday--lifelong cake-aholic!

nearly every bookdealer i know is liberal. i'm on a listserv with about 1500 and there are about 4 conservative ones

9:27 am

wonderful, gwen! LOL

9:28 am

9:37 am

Ha! That counts.

9:37 am

*quits work and heads over to crossys*

9:37 am

That's sounds great, Crossy. I had oatmeal. Ho hum.

9:38 am

poor judi :-)

9:38 am

9:38 am

9:39 am

tosses on some peameal bacon with melted cheddar on top for judi....

9:39 am

*gobble gobble*

9:39 am

two cu

9:39 am

i think oatmeal molasses bread is delicious...

9:39 am

10 to go!

9:39 am

oo-er, then i'm done with cu also

9:40 am

sounds good if we can toast it and melt cheese on it;))

9:40 am

my brother + his wife were extremely low on funds this year, so they made christmas gifts -- different kinds of candies + different kinda of jellies... all very tasty!!

9:40 am

everything's better with cheese! LOL

9:40 am

very nice..the home made gifts are the best

9:40 am

oatmeal and Vegemite will fix any pothole

9:41 am

oatmeal molasses bread is great with brie and caramelized apples...

9:41 am

lol une,ever been to a cheese fondue toga party??

9:41 am

eva, that's what my daughter and bf did--they made choc pumpkin bread, banana bread, sugar cookies, and almond granola!

9:41 am

yum hursh!

9:41 am

BR LOL!!!

9:42 am

no but had best fondue EVER in Swiss mountains!

9:42 am

SHUT UP! Or I'm going to eat my keyboard.

9:42 am

:-D

9:42 am

they made truffles -- some plain chocolate, some rolled in sugar, some rolled in cocoa... they also made strawberry, raspberry + blackberry jellies... all have been tasted, tested, and tried.... :)

9:42 am

i know, i'm dying here, all i have is stale cheerios and chocolate, which while good is not very filling

9:42 am

well with the cheese fondue toga party you have many fondue pots with bubbling cheese and tons of bread cubes and skewers and about 40 bed sheets......

9:43 am

eva, do you have recipe for the jellies? they're interesting in trying that . . .

9:43 am

then you add lots of alcohol......

9:43 am

LOL, crossy!

9:43 am

Wait, I think I saw that movie. It was called "Animal House".

9:43 am

cheese and wine . . . unbeatable!

9:43 am

now the game is that if you lose a piece of bread in a fondue pop you must remove a article of clothing.....

9:44 am

i dont have a recipe -- my brother is the cook in the family...heh... he claims that he doesnt like to cook, but the thing is that he really likes to EAT good food, so he learned how to COOK good food...

9:44 am

if you get down to underwear or end up neeked you must wear a toga for the evening;)

9:44 am

crossy -- i thought if you lost something, you had to smooch the person to your left. ;)

9:44 am

does anybody know why my jello didn't set?

9:44 am

Uh oh, harpjane. You didn't use pineapple juice, did you?

9:45 am

not i, said the little red hen

9:45 am

is that how it went eva..im not sure,by the nights end we had all theese drunk people in togas all covered in melted cheese!

9:46 am

hello babblers

9:46 am

my parents got chris + i a little mini fondu set -- heated by a tealight....anyone tried one of those? do they work?

9:46 am

howdy wildcat,coming to my next xheese fondue toga party?

9:46 am

a TEAlight? not a sterno?

9:46 am

they work fine eva

9:47 am

nope, just a little candle

9:47 am

uh sure crossy

9:47 am

we use sternos for the big pots

9:47 am

do cats wear togas?

9:47 am

yeah, i used a little pineapple juice, i figured that was it

9:47 am

they can if they will let you dress them

9:48 am

im thinking it might be a good night to melt a little chocolate + use up the strawberries before they go bad. ;)

9:48 am

i think on a cat it would just become a cape

9:48 am

and cheese is hard to get out of fur

9:48 am

very

9:48 am

that

9:49 am

that's always a good idea eva

9:49 am

not at all, they have little barbs on their tongues for getting all the cheese

9:49 am

i think the one we got is similar in size to this: http://www.gifttree.com/images/l arge/6829f.jpg

9:49 am

There ya go, harpjane. Pineapple juice is like krypton to jello. The only remedy is to add vodka or rum and drink it.

9:50 am

ever drop a dollop of jam on yer cat by mistake? i did the other night,was making toast and jam and the cat was winding about my feet like they do and a slice of toast and jam fell off the plate right onto kittys back

9:50 am

judi, LOL!

9:50 am

i love the monk commercials where they say he is a superhero - sidekick, fortress of solitude, and what's his kryptonite? everything!

9:50 am

oh no crossy ... mad kitty?

9:51 am

oh dear crossy! cheese they would love - jam not so much

9:51 am

not really,thing spent 4 hours cleaning itself and was purring whole time

9:51 am

Sticky cat... sticky cat.

9:51 am

i thought it was just FRESH pineapple that did it

9:51 am

then we gave it a bath

9:51 am

darn the liquor stores are closed today....

9:51 am

did not ccare for that

9:51 am

my old cat LOVED cheese...even fake cheese! she would lick the powder off of doritos!

9:51 am

why, harp??

9:52 am

our LOVE processed cheese slices

9:52 am

my cats are fooled by smart balance light - it's vegan but they think it's dairy!

9:52 am

lol cross

9:52 am

vegan cheese? mmm..bet that didnt cost more than 10 dollars for 8 slices:/

9:53 am

expensive cat food

9:53 am

Strange. My cat snubs dairy products. Just gives me a scathing look as if to say, "why isn't this meat?"

9:53 am

not cheese, margarine

9:53 am

ahh

9:54 am

i buy margerine with maximum oil content,makes for better fry ups:)))

9:54 am

what is odd is that even though usually non-dairy sweets hold no interest, mitten LOVES the heavy syrup that canned peaches come in.

9:54 am

i have a dog who's such a glutton, I've never seen her turn her back on anything except a raw mushroom! LOL

9:55 am

our old dog liked to lick the cat food tins :)

9:55 am

and my mom's dishwasher!

9:55 am

are there any "up" words?

9:56 am

at the end my cat would eat the dog's dry food, and of course the dogs loved her food

9:56 am

yep raw mushrooms - and bananas - are the only things Hobbit won't eat

Dogs love most people food. Except vegetables and fruit. I think mushrooms are bad for dogs anyway.

9:57 am

mine LOVES all fruit!

9:57 am

my dog when i was a kid just wouldn't eat lettuce. but she would eat other veggies and fruits.

9:57 am

Come to think of it, we used to have a beagle mix who would eat blackberries and raspberries right off the vines.

9:58 am

I have one that eats lettuce

9:58 am

my fruit eater is a beagle mix--maybe its' the breed! LOL

9:58 am

10:00 am

Sorry Harry. I don't have it yet!

10:00 am

so embarassing! LOL

10:01 am

Une have you seen the site for "Apostrophic Jihad"? it's funny it its own way :-)

10:01 am

three metals: **umina, **ckel, **pper

10:01 am

how about the co6/7 combo?

10:01 am

*embarrassing . . . ack!!

10:01 am

thanks mix!!!

10:01 am

is that what it means?

10:01 am

wow, thanks, mixi!

10:01 am

i'm just pleased you feel the need to correct yourself. i've got to the point where i generally refrain from correcting even myself because somehow i worry people are thinking it is snobbish to care at all

10:02 am

good manners are never snobbish

10:02 am

was totally horrified, hursh LOL

10:02 am

except it's **balt not **pper :)

10:02 am

please do not stop using them because of other people

10:03 am

it's not manners, though, it's grammar and spelling :)

10:03 am

dan, I'm a total apostrophe nazi! Scream at signs along the road . . .

10:03 am

however, i shall be pleased if we are defining those as a subcategory of manners

10:03 am

Grammar + manners + mammers.

10:03 am

I think it's good manners to correct oneself

10:03 am

indeed, hursh

10:03 am

LOL

10:03 am

wanna clue?

10:05 am

yeah - the co5 after the female college student

10:05 am

lol

10:05 am

Une, I'm with you - you've touched on my pet peeve - signs! because I think of how many layers of bureaucracy and inept readers/reviewers had to see it, approve it etc. before the improper apostrophe was unleashed on a helpless public

10:05 am

she meant want to clue, not want a clue

10:05 am

oh :)

10:05 am

eo6, please?

10:05 am

hehe

10:06 am

it's co + the knights who say ** + the little dr**mer boy

10:06 am

and plural

10:06 am

MMMMMMMM! Nothing like walking the dog when it's 2 below zero to make one appreciate some nice fresh hot chocolate! And hi.

besides the al6 we had so wonderfully clued recently :)

10:08 am

I'm trying to decide whether to write to the publishers of a book to point out that a crutch differs fundamentally from a crotch, and that it is much more likely that a fork-lift truck was used to shift pallets than palettes. Am I being too fussy?

10:08 am

co6 - c

10:08 am

former vp minus vowel

10:09 am

thnks hursh :)

10:09 am

you are NOT being too fussy!!!!

10:09 am

10:09 am

10:09 am

I'm not the one to ask-- I'm a raging pedant and so automatically on your side..

10:09 am

rather our rightful president minus final vowel

10:09 am

Write write write!

10:09 am

Hello, all.

10:09 am

it irks me when i'm forwarding BBC articles and i have to correct their grammar. it's the BBC, for heaven's sake!

10:09 am

Thank you! It's actually putting me off reading the rest of the book in case I come across more of the same.

10:10 am

And good morning/afternoon to all.

10:10 am

hi haz

10:10 am

Read one once in which a "puppy's plaintive whelps rang out across the water"...

10:10 am

that is some precocious puppy, having whelps already!

10:10 am

there

10:11 am

there's no excuse if it's supposed to be your job to know these things

10:11 am

Especially ones that can ring out, let alone across water.

10:11 am

Oy vey. It's everywhere. I think 3rd graders edit our state newspaper. Sometimes it just makes me want to cry.

10:11 am

OK just that pesky eo left

10:12 am

anybody have it?

10:12 am

That was some GOOD hot chocolate. Sorry to harp on about it but it was. I can feel my toes now.

10:12 am

Not me, HH!

10:12 am

eo - belief system ending for a long time

10:12 am

eo 6 - a belief in a long period of time?

10:19 am

FM - watch the movie "Liar Liar" and then make your decision.

10:19 am

fireworks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

10:19 am

Here's the deal, FM. One should not lie. But one should sometimes shut up rather than telling the truth!

10:20 am

LOL Judi and Ata

10:20 am

wtg mixi

10:20 am

Yay Mixi!

10:20 am

Yay for mixi6!

10:21 am

ok...really WTG HH

10:21 am

and sometimes people force you to lie. if they ask you a direct question, the truthful answer to which would hurt their feelings... i spose you could say they have it coming, but *i* vote for lying

10:21 am

Congrats Harry!

10:21 am

10:22 am

To endure, Judi, or expoerience.

10:23 am

Oh monkey! I was psyched...I have 48 left and it would have helped me out too!

10:23 am

And I'm back.

10:23 am

Lies can be so decietful and then you have to cover up and also they can wear you down as it means you can't express your real opinions - dont you think?

10:23 am

Oops, sorry about that!

10:23 am

Oh fertheluva... ty.

10:23 am

I usually find that one can actually fail to answer even the most direct questions.

10:23 am

No prob!

10:23 am

in general, yes, definitely, fmitch.

10:23 am

yummy....TA4/5 makes me hungry!!

10:24 am

Sorry, FM, to miss your grand entrance! I will scroll back to see what I've missed.

10:24 am

I guess I don't have that one... looking for tasty ta..

10:24 am

bye :) thnks for the clues !

10:24 am

Hello Haz you haven't missed anything :)

10:25 am

Oh well. Nice to see you, anyway. And that's the truth.

10:25 am

*grin* and hugs Haz

10:25 am

OK, must dispense more warm milk (he was out with the dog too) and start the stir-fry. Wish my Christmas present had arrived today-- it's a Szechuan cookbook. Oh well! Have fun, everyone!

10:26 am

vi, don't you find that with people close to you, avoiding answering conveys a painful truth anyway?

10:27 am

politicians do it professionally

10:27 am

What news of the seagull Ata?

10:28 am

no news, but they said they would phone me when they let him go / he didn't make it

10:29 am

Oh well, well done for the rescue and fingers crossed

10:29 am

he was *such* a cute gull!

10:30 am

I was hard-hearted last night. A young man had to get his friend to ring me because he had no money on his phone, but he wanted a house-call for a kitten he had found. He didn't think he would have to pay because he is on benefits.

10:31 am

awwww. an ill kitten or just a kitten?

10:32 am

*gasp*

10:32 am

is the young man suffering from something debilitating?

10:32 am

An ill kitten - he claimed it had cat flu (a friend told him so). I arranged for an appointment at the morning surgery and he did attend, I checked.

10:33 am

The young man is suffering from having too kind a heart and not a steady enough head.

10:33 am

ohhhh. did it actually have cat flu?

10:33 am

at least he did attend!

10:35 am

i suppose if the people close to you are not dysfuctional, it's easier to never lie *still mu6 on the earlier question*

10:35 am

I don't know what it was treated for. I just get frustrated with the whole benefits system that allows people to think they're entitled to money off everything. Does it work in Tescos (spit)?

10:36 am

oh bound to

10:36 am

I don't mind if someone truly *can't* pay, but to *expect* the discounts isn't right

10:36 am

missing an O from bottom row center

10:37 am

esp when it's young men who are not suffering from anything debilitating

10:37 am

od4 = smell od5 = od + long time

10:37 am

greek theater & shrek are those two

10:37 am

I think it's just me being very practical.

10:37 am

no, not shrek

10:37 am

10:38 am

10:39 am

11:11 am

Happy seasonal greetings cait :) *giggle*

11:12 am

sister and husband are arguing over who gets my wonderful company on NYE *sigh*!

11:12 am

LOL FM, did yours go ok?

11:12 am

tell both of them to come to you Ata!

11:12 am

Hi Ata!!

11:12 am

You mean they're arguing because they want you, or because they don't want you, Ata?

11:12 am

because they do!!

11:13 am

LOL!

11:13 am

Well, does that not make you smug?

11:13 am

It wasok cait, thaknks :)

11:13 am

Ata - how about swinging by my place on the way to sis then that sorts the argument out :)

11:14 am

11:14 am

yes, but I wish they would decide!

11:15 am

OK those that dont want to celebrate should come to me............

11:15 am

good idea!

11:15 am

I've been doing a big sort out and have some art stuff I want to give to you, lovely cartridge paper and a sketching book.

11:15 am

Not sure I can make it by Wednesday...so consider me there in "spirit"

11:15 am

11:16 am

Try and make it though Pink

11:16 am

A big sort out. Do you hear that, Lori(Canada)? FM's being cleaning!

11:16 am

Howdy!

11:16 am

Hi Liddy

11:17 am

don't traumatise Lori(Canada) like that!

11:17 am

Shhh Haz, don't wake the Lori(canada) non cleaning person!

11:17 am

I'm telling the truth. It's the way forward.

11:17 am

FM Im shocked!

11:18 am

it's rather disturbing

11:18 am

*hangs head* Sorry cait but it has to be done - bit sort out time and even the hoover and feather duster will be out shortly!!!!!!

11:19 am

That's my girl.

11:19 am

*gasp*

11:19 am

*big not bit, sigh :(

11:19 am

Can I see a New Years resolution being started?.........Hoover !! Duster!! Oh boy

11:19 am

And a little pot pourri in the vacuum bag helps to make everything smell lovely.

11:20 am

11:20 am

Hi all...newbie here

11:20 am

11:21 am

There - I said it

11:21 am

nooooooooooo!

11:21 am

NO!!

11:22 am

Filling the vacuum bag with pot pourri won't take that long, FM, honestly.

11:22 am

sorry...don't have it yet sandie

11:22 am

lol Haz

11:23 am

su5/12 - su, double helping of a letter that sounds like a beverage, finished off with a vowel

11:23 am

You're not leaving altogether, you're just going to be selective in your appearances, is that it?

11:23 am

TY Haz, goodmorning all

11:23 am

Hi Sandie

11:23 am

Oh thanks a lot Haz. It really had me foxed.

11:24 am

You're welcome. Good morning lynxxx.

11:24 am

Morning lynxxx

11:24 am

Is this why you were asking about telling the truth?

11:24 am

Were you going to announce that you had some mission for MI5 to throw us all off the scent?

11:25 am

maybe she's goingt to disappear completely and she's lying to us now!

11:25 am

Maybe she's been sucked up by that hoover already?

11:26 am

LOL you lovely twit - I will probably still babble as in doing the grid

11:26 am

She has gone quiet now

11:26 am

maybe Lori(Canada) has abducted her!

11:26 am

Hey Pini!How many points do you have???????????

11:26 am

LOL

11:26 am

1149

11:26 am

Ah, babble but not burble? Not that you ever did that.

11:27 am

I'm stumbling now, Liddy

11:27 am

Too much to drink, Pini?

11:27 am

As my mother said "if you can't say anything nice then don't say anything at all" and it seems that most of the time I just want to shout at a few players who seem to dominate the log. So I back off.

11:27 am

not THAT kind of stumbling!

11:28 am

too early in the morning ... and I'm holding out until Wednesday! (NOT)

11:28 am

Oh FM we all understand that, but cleaning is not the answer!!

11:28 am

I sympathise, but then you know that I do.

11:28 am

nor is pot pourri

11:28 am

smelling salts, maybe

11:29 am

I got 52 points!!!

11:29 am

Any clues for ro8 please ;o)

11:29 am

11:29 am

Norma...think cowboy

11:29 am

ro8 - gerund ending for the cowboy event.

11:30 am

I just started!!!!!!!!

11:30 am

Thanks Pin n Haz ;o)

11:30 am

FM, maybe if you had a good yell it would get it out of your system?

11:30 am

well hop to it!!!

11:30 am

I'd cover you from behind and nod agreement.

11:30 am

swwweeet!! tyvm Haz

11:30 am

You're welcome, beach.

11:30 am

(((Haz))) of course! and that irks me that you were talked about like that and I did nothing about it, sorry.

11:31 am

Hi Beach!!!

11:31 am

Oh, there was nothing to be done.

11:31 am

Haz talked about !! when and by whom?

11:31 am

Hi Liddy!

11:32 am

sorry to hear about the "annimosity" factor...wish good people wldn't leave because of it! ;)

11:32 am

It was a while back, caitlyn. I had made the mistake of writing about clues in my profile, quite a number didn't like it.

11:32 am

*stands in front of Haz with a fierce spaniel*

11:33 am

Yes, a spaniel giving the evil eye is one of life's terrors.

11:33 am

Stands with Ata and Hobbit :))

11:33 am

Stands with the gang!

11:34 am

Standing proudly with all of you!

11:34 am

especially when giving the very scary spaniel growl

11:34 am

I know that a lot of people agreed with what I wrote, but there were those who felt annoyed and I felt chastened by the experience.

11:34 am

You havent heard me growl yet

11:35 am

...and Koda's taking a stance, too...he's standing up like a meerkat

11:35 am

Im sorry to hear that Haz

11:35 am

Hi all. Stuck on the do5,16 that comes before the do7, which I have. Any clues please?

11:35 am

I liked your writing Haz! disappointed that you have deleted it! I'll stand with Stew with you all. (Yeah, right - he'll be the one with the tail between his legs)

11:35 am

Spangle's just lying here. Some defender.

11:35 am

(OK...Koda's sleeping on my lap, but does often stand like a meerkat)

11:36 am

It's all done and dusted now. You can't please everyone.

11:36 am

and it was SO unfair as others gripe about what they want so why wasn't Haz allowed her opinion?

11:36 am

hi Hydra! Seasons greetings!

11:36 am

but I do think ppl have got a bit better since then

11:36 am

And there are a lot of other peoples opinions spouted on here at times!

11:37 am

do5/16 - plural for do4/7.

11:37 am

"Have tea, will babble" - seasons greetings all !

11:37 am

And to you! Just getting over the 'winter vomiting bug' that everyone's been getting. Thank God I didn't get it till after Xmas!

Hi peri

11:38 am

hi Peri

11:38 am

Hello Dorens!

11:38 am

11:38 am

11:38 am

and hello Dorens

11:38 am

hi peri!!!

11:38 am

Bye peri

11:39 am

hydra, let me check back again - which do was it?

11:39 am

11:39 am

I hope you are feeling better nowhydra

11:39 am

do + hemming and hawing sound plural?

11:39 am

do plus an anagram of what you get when you add up.

11:40 am

Lynxxx good to see you and Happy wishes for the coming year :)

11:40 am

thx for those!

11:40 am

You're welcome, Pini.

11:41 am

TY FM, and all that right back at you

11:41 am

But the 3rd letter must be the same as the 3rd letter of the words it's sandwiched between! I'm still stuck

11:42 am

TY Haz

11:42 am

go the OTHER way, hydra

11:42 am

do4/7 - do plus two letters of hesitation, then pluralfor do5/16. It ends in the two letters that denote a woman who doesn't wish to reveal marital status.

12:22 pm

I would love too, it is on my list of places to visit. Do you have a place there Dorens?

12:23 pm

my bf used to have a fabulous place here in a golfing community next to the bird sanctuary (and the birds don't know where the border is, so they are all over it, but he sold it.. he still comes often tho, still golfs at his ritzy golf club, but rents a condo on the beach, he's thinking of buying again now

12:24 pm

12:34 pm

aww, is he sick?

12:34 pm

hows his head now

12:34 pm

you have three very different cues for the same word, you will get it feather

12:34 pm

oh, walter sick?

12:34 pm

eo/21 = h*d**** (the doctrine that pleasure or happiness is the highest good)

12:35 pm

yep, got it!

12:35 pm

good clue pink

12:35 pm

Fell over and cut his head right before dinner last night, had to go with the ambulance and have it glued. Today it is tender but not swollen, a bit bruised, and he was pale and tired for much of the day but really just fine. No Tylenols needed, no complaining about it, but wanted to rest a lot.

12:35 pm

hmm..not getting ro or re 8 or ed 7...*looking, looking!*

12:35 pm

poor boy

12:35 pm

sorry to hear that mg

12:36 pm

thanks pini... ah. poor walter. not a concussion, tho?

12:36 pm

re**** reuse recycle, play with that

12:36 pm

re* = to get smaller in size

12:36 pm

glad he's better monkey! if you have arnica still on hand, wouldn't hurt to give him that.

12:36 pm

fish me!! thanks, pini!

12:36 pm

and pini, i wish i knew your clue, but i'm blanking. and it's such a nice clue too!

12:36 pm

The paramedic said he lost enough blood to be a little on the tired side but nowhere enough to be considered even slightly dangerous. He ate like a pig ALL DAY, and perked up enough to want to go out with the dog (in -2 weather!) this afternoon. No concussion, no headache, no complications.

12:37 pm

<((((<

12:37 pm

eo = long time + goe pr*** (light reflector)

12:37 pm

He's sound asleep now, Babs, and i also don't have any on hand right now... must restock the incidentals arsenal. I did have the sense to get Thyme syrup before winter really hit, so when he had a cough last week I was already armed. Worked a treat, too.

12:38 pm

ohhhhh, didn't notice that ending either! thank you

12:38 pm

goe = geo

12:38 pm

*sigh* off to be a good doobie and clean for a little bit

12:38 pm

I did plenty of that today Feather. Hang in there!

12:39 pm

* puts crib bug in weed's head *

12:39 pm

**so impressed with feather's discipline**

12:39 pm

:) i'd love to later tonight if you're around pini

12:39 pm

need 2 more for L

12:39 pm

come clean my house feather

12:39 pm

That might actualy work, weed...

12:39 pm

discipline ha. i'm only going to clean for about 20 minutes now, passed my 1:30 deadline!

12:39 pm

*poof*

12:40 pm

Walter is a highly active boy of 4 so I have just been waiting for our accident. We got off lightly in my opinion, what with no concussion, scar will be high up by the hair, no teeth through a lip or anything. Glad they could glue it. We were in the ER a total of ten minutes... plus a 45 minute wait for the neighbor to come pick us up.

12:41 pm

my nephews are totally injury-prone...i rarely see them without a bandage, bruise, or scrape...

12:42 pm

Oh, I was a concussion expert and split two lips and all that stuff. Skinned a knee once badly enough for the ER and lots of bandaging. So I know this isn't the end.

12:43 pm

He also has excellent coordination and balance most of the time but of course Knows No Fear. It helps that I remember every detaiul of my really big head injury, when I was exactly this age. I remember thinking that I could certainly climb onto that metal railing over the rocks along the stairs and slide down it, easiest thing in the world...

12:43 pm

my younger nephew seems to get the brunt of it... over the summer, he had a bandage on the top of his head, where the detachable shower head fell + clunked him while he was in the shower with my brother... then, on christmas, he had a huge bandage on his chin -- seems he slipped + fell in the tub + smashed his chin on the side...they really thought that was gonna turn out to be an ER trip, but thankfully, it wasnt...

12:43 pm

So I keep an eye on what he might try. So of course last night he just turned around too fast and tripped over his ownfeet.

12:44 pm

My older dau is familiar with the ER for things like being brushed by an RV, stung by an unidentified bug, locked for 5 hours in a football stadium bathroom, etc.

12:44 pm

Oh dear!

12:45 pm

wow, lots of trauma pini!

12:45 pm

my older nephew is a bit more limber -- so far, the worst ive seen him with (those being the key words) is a minor black eye -- from where his little brother bit him on the cheek!

12:45 pm

rusing should be a word!!

12:45 pm

...the younger dau is as familiar except for things like stitches in chin for sidewalk belly flop; puncturing leg (but not her jeans) while 4-wheeling on the beach; climbing out of her crib and falling on her toy farm leaving a nice little cut on her forehead...

12:46 pm

Thankfully, I'm trauma free...so I provide all the transportation for the victims!

12:47 pm

I was locked in a bathroom stall for about three hours in an unheated building in the dead of winter with the window stuck open... of course, this was about ten years ago. I tried to crawl under the door and had a VERY scary few minutes when I thought I would ALSO be pinned to a marble floor... had to get back into the stall (walls to ceiling, couldn';t climb). Finally took the whole lock apart with my Swiss army knife and when that didn't work just threw myself against the door until the damage done by the lock taking aprt thing finally made the pin fall out... I have seen less well made doors on high security buildings! That's when I decided to get a cell phone.

12:47 pm

ouch! I guess you've learned to stay calm for these "events?!"

12:47 pm

heroic tale, monkey!

12:48 pm

My little brother, when he was two, started this thing where he would climb on any handy piece of furniture and waoit. As soon as someone entered the room, no matter how far away from him, he'd yell, "Catch me!" and throw himself into space.

12:48 pm

He's a lawyer now.

12:48 pm

Babs, I'm so calm now, I just tell the caller that I'll meet them at the ER door...

12:48 pm

WTG MG!!!! (my dau had her cell phone with her, but it was in a concrete building and she couldn't get a signal)

12:48 pm

Heroic? Just had to get out or freeze to death. All the freaking out and panicking kept me warm.

12:48 pm

personal injury?

12:48 pm

too funny, MG!!!

12:49 pm

Hee hee! No, actually he works on the side of environmantal causes being libeled.

12:50 pm

He's getting married in September... my little baby brother...

12:50 pm

awww

12:50 pm

...I'm hungry!

12:50 pm

nice girl?

12:50 pm

awwww....are you excited?

12:50 pm

I was 12 when he was born, you see. I was an only child previouys to that. My sister is 4 years younger yet.

12:50 pm

oh wow...

12:50 pm

"accidents" ?

12:51 pm

lol

12:51 pm

Yes, I've been able to spend some time with her and she's absolutely great. They clearly love each other very much, have been together a few years, and moved in together a couple of years ago.

12:51 pm

good

12:51 pm

my son was defo the accident prone one in our home - he slid on an old nylon carpet and scraped his chin open, a neighboyurs boy smacked him with a play spade, he fell on a slide an sliced his elbow open - all trips to casualty for stitches and the like

12:52 pm

Yes, but ALSO half brother and sister-- same mom. They are stunning to look at too: mom is mostoly scottich and their father is Palestinian, and they somehow combined the features into works of art.

12:52 pm

And they're TAAAAALLLLLLLL...

12:53 pm

tall people of the world unite!!!!

12:53 pm

I'll bet their features are quite nice!

12:54 pm

kaz...I bet you're a calm mom, too!

12:55 pm

Oh yes. Striking Arabic noses, chestnut hair with slight wave and red highlights, olive skin and a scattering of freckles across the nose, blue eyes.

12:55 pm

pictures ... we want pictures

12:55 pm

no kidding...

12:55 pm

post 'em, mg

12:55 pm

The family were very interested in the blue eyes-- it HAS to come from both sides, so it must date to the ancestress who was raped during the crusades.

12:56 pm

monkey - walter is a cutie - really lovely looking little boy

12:56 pm

Lemme see if I can find a couple...

12:56 pm

probably from the Scot side

12:56 pm

Thanks, Kazz!

12:56 pm

ok...really confused about who are half-siblings....your brother and the girl he's marrying?

12:57 pm

The Scotts is on my mother;s side, so yes, but the Palestinian side doesn't have a blue eye in it since that crusades incident and the gene MUST come from both.

12:57 pm

No, babs...MG's siblings are her 1/2 siblings because they all have the same mother...her 1/2 brother is marrying another girl (not related)

12:57 pm

Hee hee, no me and my brother and sister. They share my mother.

12:58 pm

no wonder i have trouble following clues here! lol...got it!

12:58 pm

wouldn't that be a loooooong stretch, MG (for the eye color to carry)?

12:58 pm

* hands Babs a "catch-up" pill * ;)

12:59 pm

lol

12:59 pm

Yes, of ocurse, that's why it's so interesting. But recessives do just hang out, often enough.

12:59 pm

thanks, pini! how about clues? for the a and the top o??

12:59 pm

os6 = Utah siblings

1:00 pm

al = al*** rythmn

1:00 pm

al = al + ****le Kidman

1:00 pm

but blue eyes are also common in northern africa and areas around there - wouldn't that be a possibility for intermarriage at some point?

1:00 pm

need one more L

1:01 pm

have lo4 x 5

1:01 pm

how did you find that al pini? thanks!

1:01 pm

didn't realize the colors could carry resesively that long

1:01 pm

anything can carry recessively

1:01 pm

sheer luck and helpful clues, Babs! * grin *

1:01 pm

hooray fireworks for me - off to sort out food for the hubby and son

1:01 pm

hello all, help with de7 please

1:02 pm

rehi peri

1:02 pm

woohoo kaz!

1:02 pm

1:02 pm

Ata, I would think so but the family insisted not... Hang on, am changing icon.

1:02 pm

thx kaz!!!

1:03 pm

*saying

1:03 pm

ohh..wasn't looking for a name! duh!

1:03 pm

I would think that more likely than a recessive hanging around that long

1:04 pm

ty, got the de7

1:04 pm

I am the only green eyed, curly haired redhead on both sides of my family. Recessive....lol

1:05 pm

bye all - see you tomorrow - monkeyg - i hope that little Walter has a good night and feels much better tomorrow

No wonder I hate milk!

1:06 pm

bye Kazz

1:06 pm

funny to think there were such people as milkmen!

1:06 pm

they were wonderful...delivered all kinds of goodies to the door

1:06 pm

My family consists of 4 brunettes, 1 redhead, 1 blonde (in that order)!

1:06 pm

1:07 pm

Howdilly doodilly, neighbors. Was reading back in the chat some about recessive genetic traits. Minkie - in your case, I think it was an Irishman, not the milk man.

1:07 pm

hi judi

1:07 pm

I'm the only one in my family with truly green eyes

OK, back. Ata, my personal theory is that there was some affair a couple generations ago that was very successfully Not Talked About.... Anyway, here's a pic (new icon). The left one is my paternal aunt, the dumpy one in the red shirt id me, then there's my gorgeous sister, and the one on the right is Mom.

1:07 pm

ditto on yes for the fish

9:10 pm

so 5/20 uses the high point tile and end with not out.

9:11 pm

su 5/16:gerund form of legal action against someone.

9:11 pm

Thanks much Minveryork.

9:11 pm

and how do think you could be friendlier with yourself?

9:12 pm

yw

9:13 pm

well it's just, if you are friends with someone, and they don't exercise, it doesn't affect you. but if you are you, it does. so i guess i could be friendlier to myself by exercising and doing other things that i know would affect me in positive ways.

9:13 pm

except i don't do it!

clue for un7?

9:14 pm

but that does not make you a bad person

9:14 pm

well like i said, i guess it's not that i don't like myself, i just don't like BEING myself.

9:14 pm

un7/44:I will un***** surgery this month smilesoplenty

9:14 pm

suppose you were in jail for a crime you didn't commit. it wouldn't make you a bad person, but it wouldn't be any fun either.

Hello smilesoplenty!How are you? Welcome to the grid

i don't get the brand of sheets thing

9:25 pm

pumpkin boy is cute with or without the gourds!

9:25 pm

OK, I just gave you the last letter of the SU5 word by accident, so now you only need to fill in the 2 letters; both consonants and both the same letter!!!!

9:25 pm

no I will tell you I care but it is your choice

9:25 pm

the su clue earlier was sort of like the karma sutra.

9:25 pm

An su 5/12 word is su+a double consonant plus vowel smilesoplently.

G words I have: Al Go++ and past tense

it seems like for some people, life just... goes along... and for others of us, it takes a lot of effort not to just give up and stay in bed eating candy all day when we have the chance

9:32 pm

I hate the downward spiral. I just want to say it clearly. I can't wait till 2008 is over. It's been a miserable year (hysterectomy, death of dog, general crappiness)

9:32 pm
