okay, I have a really stupid confession... and any help will be appreciated....
Yay, Dee!
On my honor, I will try: To serve God and my country, To help people at all times, And to live by the Girl Scout Law.
cough up, dee...
I decided to make pancakes from scratch tonight, but didn't want to pull out griddle; thot I would make them in a skillet....
she had come to Winnipeg, and I was selected to be in the Honour Guard
well, not one of them was what I considered edible... tough, too dark, weird texture...
did they turn out biiiigg?
oh, nice, hugs!
hmm I was a Camp Fire girl...we had Wo-He-Lo...Work, Health, Love
they were ghastly, and I am not even exaggerating
hmmm. no baking soda?
cool hug!
isn't it baking powder?
ay ay ay iki ay kay amus
eggs not beaten
I wondered if mine was expired in date... should I have beaten eggs before putting into dry ingredients?
that's a song we sang in Girl Scouts
I'll have to dig out my recipe, but I think mione uses a bit of both...
I don't have a griddle and do mine in the electric frying pan and always by scratch
ok hug, how do you do it?
Jellen: On my honour, I promise to do my best, to do my duty to God and the Queen, and to help other people at all times., and to obey the Guide Law.
electric frying pan is great you can keep the temp steady
you forgot "and country"
yes
On my honor I will try
that is a good idea... and do eggs need to be whisked before putting into dry ingredients?
where does country fit in?
To do my duty to God and my country
To help other people at all times
"to God, King (or Queen) and Country..."
I always do Dee...it makes everything fluff
I copied mine off the Girl Scout Council of Vermont site...
And to obey the Girl Scout Law
On my honour, I promise to do my best, to do my duty to God, the Queen and my country, to help other people at all times and to obey the Guide Laws.
that must be why mine didn't fluff and looked like hockey pucks
circa 19556
ngredients * 2 cups flour * 1-3/4 cup milk * 2 heaping tablespoons baking powder * 2 eggs beaten * 1/4 cup melted butter * 3 tablespoons sugar * 1 teaspoon salt Directions 1. Mix dry ingredients. 2. Combine eggs and melted butter to milk and slowly stir in the flour. 3. Heat pan then pour batter in pan to desired size and cook until browned on both sides.
back in the dark ages, in UK, we felt the King?Queen was the country, I guess
what temp for pan or skillet?
1956*
375 to 400
that looks like my recipe too PAV
ty ty ty PAV
omg did i stumble into a girl scout convention
could I have a gh clue?
I usually set my pan to 325
baking powder/baking soda...? I know there's a diff...that's prob why I gave up and use a mix...
ohhh, I have to add my two cents to pancake conversation....buttermilk!
20 left and I can't fins the stupid he6, so I'm going to bed *hmmpph*
I turn it down after the water jumps around
oh heck, I'm 72, so I was a guide in the late 40s ...
Good morning/evening everyone
hey I know let's have a Girl Scout/Guide pancake supper
hello mar
YES!

Hi West. I am there for the pancake supper

i use horseradish
it was/is the first or second wed this month, this year. I think it came/comes early for some absurd reason...
oh I thought yours were awful who was that?
gh clue anyone?
Oh, in 1956, I was a baby-boy-scout leader, and we were to go to Hungary for a meet ... that's when the Revolution broke out, and we had to cancel -- lots of disappointed boys and leaders.
that was Dee... *points finger*
you crack me up bab
The day after Fat Tuesday West.
I think either my powder was old or I didn't mix eggs separately and my pan was too hot LOL
Lent begins on 25 February 2009

gh 6: surround somebody as protest: to surround and detain an official, employer, or manager, usually at the workplace, as a political or industrial protest

bye Marmar
gh 6: meaning "encirclement," is a word originally from Hindi, and is a typically South Asian way of protest. Usually, a group of people would surround a politician or a government building until their demands are met, or answers given. The term became popular in the 1960s when political activists in West Bengal started the practice of surrounding a politician or a government building in large groups, for hours on stretch.

really?
no Andree, lynxx, mrp --- wonder why
Did some-one call? - just logged on. Hello all
you were conjured up lyn
I just received a picture of a volunteer giving bottled water to a koala had to send it to my kids and grandkids
I think you mentioned it lyn
I saw that one West, it was guzzling down like crazy. Shows how distraught it was - they usually keep away from people and they don't drink water
it's hard to fathom the devastation lyn
west all in and can start to smell them
Seems like it has been good day, deathh toll has not increased and they have made progress on the containment lines (bulldozed 'edges'). Now saying they may be able to control the fires in a week, they were saying 2 weeks a couple of days ago.
good let me know how they turn out
i will
unbelievable lyn so glad they are making progress
news stories say arsonists were at work last night
are you kidding?
not again! far out!
Australia fires rage, new arson fears 39 minutes ago YEA, Australia (AFP) — Australian police investigated fresh arson attacks and looting Wednesday as angry survivors pressed for access to towns devastated by wildfires that continue to burn across vast areas. Victoria state Premier John Brumby said there was "little doubt" that several fires had been deliberately lit overnight in the state where at least 181 people -- and possibly more than 200 -- died in blazes on the weekend.
how terrible what is wrong with them?
the looters are now causing problems
Is there anything left to loot?
that's just what I was thinking
looting..whats left to loot??.
yes, homes that were only partially damaged or missed but the ppl can't get back to them
these arsonists are unbelieveable
rlee...its like when a hurricane hits in the US...one house can be standing while the town around it is gone
I can't imagine there is Frances...and some of the areas are still closed off by police (either unsafe, or bodies still to be recovered) so the areas would be hard to get to
how can the looters get there if the ppl can't?
hi Rolin
That was my next question jilli.
cos looters will sneak in..where as honest home owners will allow themselves to be stopped by police
hey lynxxx
"I think words escape us all when it comes to describing that deliberate arson," he said. State police commissioner Christine Nixon said investigators were closing in on an arsonist blamed for lighting a fire in the Gippsland region, in the state's east.
you can do alot if your doing something not legal, not like their going to walk in the main street, the will come in at night or through back ways
i think ive read the age more in the last five days than i did when i leved there..lol
When they catch them, take them to an uninhabited island and leave them there with a large supply of matches.
great idea, frances
lol Frances...although I don't think they woulld make it there if any residents saw them
lynxxx...how is the healesville sanctuary?..is it still there?
I can imagine.
there are a lot of fires going around Melbourne
Think its OK Rolin. Fire in hills around Healesville but not in the town
rolin it is like the hurrican in the us.. my firends house is still standing, but the houses beside and behind are gone.. horses came into his place cause the fences are all gone. the owner came and said he would pay to keep them there, but robert said no he will not take money and also told the family he had a small caravan and they could stay there with them for as long as it took
babrab.. theyre about 30 miles from melb...
And the keepers are staying at the Sanctuary
rlee that's a heartwarming story
oh ok...good...its sounds silly but thats a childhood icon for me... and we've lost brian naylor..*sigh*
makes up for the jerks in the world
BabRab I love your icon. I saw that picture and sent it to my friends.
funny thing, excuse the laguage but robert always came across a a shit head, but he really is a big softie
"Brian told you so"
Lynxxx, I just saw your icon enlarged. Awful indeed.
i can still sing the intro to swallows juniors
You are just an old chook!
lol - not you Jilli!
are you trying to ruffle my feathers....lol
Now I must go to bed -- night all
G'nite Jilli
be well, jilli
night jilli
sleep well jilli
*poof*
an arsonist was caught on a persons mobile camera phone...caught the number plate and police are tracking it down....hope they catch the baistid
Good night jilli. Sweet dreams.
oh wow...thank goodness for technology
My hairdresser told me this on Tuesday and it was on the news tomite. A mother and her daughter dived into a wombat burrow they knew was across the road when their house went up in flames - they survived!
number plate of the motor bike, I meant to say
back again,
hi Flosey
was on our news here too lyn
welcome back
heard that too, lynxxx
I hope so too grannie.
oh wow lynxx... its incredible how indominatable the human spirit is..
That is amazing lyn
the Aussie spirit has risen again....peeps from all over are donating everything...and thanx to all from overseas xxx
that's so good to hear gran
But sadly I met a guy at a funeral today (not related to fire) who was playing golf on Saturday morning with 2 young kids. The kids didn't make it home
horrible
Absolutely Grannie, thanks to everyone including all the firefighters from Interstate & NZ
That is sad lyn.
i lived thru ash wednesday in the southwest.... what ppl said was...if you can cope with the total blackness... the thing that gets to you is the absolute silence
we have a few spare bicycles and spare parts....a guy is collecting them to do up and truck them down to Victoria, cos my hubby can't do it
ok..well i have to move on..off to play my fav. 'game'... looking at property
any one have the link for the suduko game ?
bye Rolin, have fun!
good luck rolin
my mum wants to try it
be well, rolin
I have two phantoms this morning tuxedo and exhausts
rolin. a mate's place was wiped out in the Ash Weds fires, the insurance came thro SIX yrs later
*poof*
sounds like a night of dancing frances
Rlee, scroll down
Rlee www.ironsudoku.com
thank you Frances
Rlee - You can just click on the Icon at the bottom for DrGod's version
the link is at the top too
thank you, mum wants to try it while i go clean up the mess i made making westfords cakes,then i will make coffee and we will try them
enjoy rlee
cream cheese & choc - yum. I'll take copy too
lyn rlee didn't have vanilla so she's using coffee extract
I'm anxious to see how they turned out
a dollop of horseradish will improve most recipes
no it won't lol
it is good with roast beast though
Horseradish and cheese on toast.....yummy.
what kind of cheese frances?
Horseradish and potato mash.....mmmmm.
Cheddar west.
and do you grill it?
so the cheese is all melty
Make the toast spread with horseradish and then cheese on top and pop it under the grill.
that does sound delish
It is.
I don't have cheddar at the moment but I do have some monterey jack
That should work west.
my SIL brings us cheddar from Cabot when she visits she stops in Vermont on her way here from Michigan
My craving years ago when I was pregnant........danish blue cheese and horseradish sandwiches.
store bought just doesn't taste the same
that really sounds good too
good grief! I blame you BR, you started all this
I craved bagels from the Jewish deli
We are so lucky here with the variety of cheeses available. My favourite at the moment is cave aged gruyere.
that was before you could get them in the supermarket
ooh in French onion soup
But you can't beat a good piece of stilton.
what is your icon picture Frances. I don't think it is a quilt
Lyn they are sunflower cupcakes.
they look just like real flowers!
Complete with ladybirds.
very cute
Lyn my fingers have been too cold to quilt recently!
Have just sent that pic to a friend who makes cupcakes for a little side venture, hope you don't mind Frances
Not a problem lyn
Watched a US quilt show recently. Had a guy who painted his own fabric (and peppered with salt to get a very distinct effect). He then 'freehand' cut pieces from it and made into an incredible sunflower quilt. Beautiful stuff
(Machine quilted)
I belong to an American quilt site (www.thequiltshown.com) and one of the people on there is a guy called Ricky Timms. He does that sort of thing and makes incredible quilts with his father.
I don't think that is the same guy, although the show I catch occassionally is Alex Anderson
Same show lyn.
Fronted by Alex Anderson and Ricky Timms. He is the guy with the beard and cowboy hat.......sings and plays piano too.
Just went looking...the show on here is Simply Quilts, no Ricky Timms.
Ah different show then. She must do more than one.
The one here is probably years old!
Just had a look. It seems to have been on between 1995 and 2006.
evening all :))
hi mrp
hi MRP, how are you?
Hi mrp.

hate that
Congrats West!
Well done west.

Credit crunch funnies:- How do you define optimism?

The bank returned a cheque to me this morning, stamped: 'insufficient funds.'
Is it them or me?
oh I like that one!
A man went to his bank manager and said: 'I'd like to start a small business. How do I go about it?'
'Simple,' said the bank manager. 'Buy a big one and wait.'
lol
Money talks. Trouble is, mine knows only one word: 'Goodbye.'
hahahaha !!
A young man asked an elderly rich man how he made his money. 'Well, son, it was 1932. The depth of the Great Depression. I was down to my last penny, so I invested that penny in an apple. I spent the entire day polishing the apple and, at the end of the day, I sold that apple for ten pennies. 'T he next morning I bought two apples, spent the day polishing them and sold them for 20 pennies. I continued this for a month, by which time I'd accumulated a fortune of £1.37. 'Then my wife's father died and left us £2m.'
A director decided to award a prize of £50 for the best idea of saving the company money during the credit crunch. It was won by a young executive who suggested reducing the prize money to £10.
great!!
I have to get going. Have to buy some stamps before they raise the price
haha ! hahahaha!
Overheard in a City bar: 'This credit crunch is worse than a divorce. I've lost half my net worth and I still have a wife.'
oh frances! love the apple one!!
we have 'forever' stamps that we can use even after the price goes up
A lobbyist on his way home from Parliament is stuck in traffic. Noticing a police officer, he winds down his window and asks: 'What's the hold-up?' The policeman replies: 'The Prime Minister is so depressed he's stopped his motorcade and is threatening to douse himself with petrol and set himself on fire. 'He says no one believes he can get us through the credit crunch. So we're taking up a collection for him.' The lobbyist asks: 'How much have you got so far?' The officer replies: 'About 40 gallons, but a lot of people are still siphoning.'
haha!! hahaha!!
ROFLMAO !!
oh boy! I needed this laugh!!
That will do for now. Don't want to hog the chat.

Man who's lost his job goes up to limousine stopped at traffic lights and knocks on the window. The tinted glass rolls down and the man says, 'Please sir, spare a fiver. I've lost my job and have three kids to feed.' A posh voice from the back seat intones, "Neither a borrower nor a lender be. Shakespeare,' and the window rolls up. At the next traffic lights, there's another knock at the car window. The rich man rolls down his window and the jobless man sticks in his head and says, 'F--- off you miserable git. D.H. Lawrence.'
hi Crossy

speaking of which we have boobies in da grid;)
farmer wants a wife is on again... GROAN!
Oh dear!
hey all
hi sog :)
hi bfsog
westford, you still here ?
Hi soggy
hi rlee :) she nicked off a little while back
and arse is in the grid too crossy :D
Rlee did you do the sudoku?
How were the cakes Ree?
hi mrp, just wanted to let her know that my mum and i think her cup cakes are really yummy, i didn't have vanilla essence so i used coffee essence and they were yum
mum had a go but i think she didn't get far with it, to busy watching t.v
that sounds yumbo indeed rlee!
they were so yum, taking the rest to work tomorrow
oooh, the mentalist is on... I quite like that show
yeah watching it kind of
has anyone seen chic around?? I haven't seen her for ages!!
watching spicks and specks
phantom: stinger...
me neither MRP
My phantoms are tuxedo and exhausts
OK cupcake check.
hi red :)
Hi Red. Early shift?
hi red
Soon! I've got to leave soon. trying to get a start here.
Hello red. That is one bright cupcake.
isnt it hideous!!!
hi red, you aren't usually around at this time
I actually babble on work day at this time, but rarely chat....on work days.
but had to check cupcake.
nice to see ya here... and your pink cupcake looks frighteningly good
darn that 'ing' ending isn't here
ing would help...
All these cupcakes. I need a cuppa.
hello every one
hi zoo
Hello zoom
hi Zooz
ho zoom
rlee how are they
not many in the grid today...they must be hard words in here then
my recipe is aussie all the way :p
yay - remembered the in6
your are wonderful westford
Now, Rlee, can you tell me what a Lamington is? So I feel less not Aussie?
i ate 2 mum had 2 and my brother ate 3, the rest im taking to work tomorrow for the other girls
did they taste mocha?
great glad they were a hit
not strongly but you could taste it
lets put it this way , your recipe went into my cook folder which is only for things i will make again
maybe I'll make them tomorrow I have some iffy cream cheese and I don't want to risk it
but i want to make with vanilla next time to see the difference
Lamingtons are squares of vanilla sponge cake, dipped in chocolate icing and then rolled in cocnut. As Rlee said in her recipe - very messy to make
oh but they sound wonderful
Sounds quite tasty though....
but fun, specially if you have children helping
lots of fingers to lick
hello red
spot on Rlee, gotta have kids doing it
Hi! and with Hi to Westford, I am signing off and going to work. See you att around 8-9 pm my time.... Have great days!
bye Red
sorry I missed you red have an uneventful day
bye red
rlee I copied your recipe please what is caster sugar?
figure since im up at this god awful time,i may as well do something constructive..ima cooking a whole turkey had laying round in the freezer;)
lol crossy I thought you said you were cooking a turkey and laying around in the freezer
lol
just not cold enough up there for you?
actually it is soo mild right now..going to get to plus 5 c today!!
it's going to smell lovely in your kitchen
wore just t-shirt and light sweater yesterday:)
that is warm
and i have 2 boxes of cornbread stuffing;)
it'll be Thanksgiving all over again
no sense letting it get freezer burn..was a freebie anyways
always love those freebies
I should do that when they're on sale
rlee must have left do you know what caster sugar is?
they are good for that,when they are on sale,you can get a ten pound turkey for 10 dollars..feed the brood for a week:)
yes!! turkey sandwiches, hot turkey sandwiches, turkey divan, turkey croquettes, turkey tetrazini
caster sugar is a fine grind of sugar which is used by bartenders and bakers, among others, for its quick dissolving properties. It is also sometimes seen spelled as castor sugar, and it may be labeled as “superfine sugar†as well. Much like regular table sugar, caster sugar can come in both refined and unrefined forms. Many grocery suppliers sell caster sugar, which can be replaced in recipes with partly ground conventional sugar if it cannot be obtained.
I'm going to go out tomorrow and buy a couple
thank you
I think I actually have some
superfine sugar is all
HI
Super fine and Caster are the same thing
howdy herin:)
I thought it was another name for confectioner's sugar but that must be icing sugar
what i said herin;)
Hugs
it's not that common here
hi herin
icing sugar is different
hang on I can fix this right now
rlee had a recipe for Lamington Cupcakes
different than confectioner's?
dont forget turkey jerky westford;)
I don't know how to make that
don't you have to have some sort of contraption?
Yes
http://tinyurl.com/bqvxfy
Here
not really,you can make your oven into a dehydrator/dryer
Ok West can you send to me the Aussie version of Lamington patty cakes and ill ''translated it
or : http://tinyurl.com/acdmm5
thanks for that glossary herin
OR
http://www.ochef.com/947.htm
Not my fault im a food nerd
the only thing is 200 grams of unsalted butter
the rest I think I can handle
phantom = exhaust
now that I know what caster sugar is
That is as it is 200grams is: 7 ounces
oh okay
West hun do you want to send it to me and ill translate it ?
the rest she put in cups
hi infern :)
we have been playing with metric since 1978 or so,we find it hard to use imperial now..cept for beer which will forever be in pints god bless em! :)
Fading here - nite everyone
Ok West. HI Mr Pres
we just have liters of soda that's about it
g,nite lunn:)
night lynxx
lynn even
good night lyn take care
the U.S will come over to metric.....eventually
you think so?
have to..last 1st world country on the planet not using it
US will definitely move to metric
makes it easier for import/export if we all use same measure for parts etc
it's always fun to go to Canada and see the speed limits
What about Britain?
think britian is bout 50/50 they are coming along
why is there a small grid when i have stuff all to do?
it's full of bablets herin
We are half and half. They tried to make it illegal to sell in imperial but it didn't work.
sokay frances,we are stuck with french as well as english on our labels
Talking of food measurements, when I see in an American recipe one stick of butter, how much is a stick......please.
Hi Frances
4 oz
quarter pound
Thanks west.
great my brain is still spoided from 3 hours of stupid law of contracts
I imagine a stick of butter to be the whole 250g!
a lot of our labels have both measurements now
That's why I asked mrp. I thought that too.
and the oven dial
OH I saw a thing about that
as Julia Child used to say you can never have too much butter
butter is evil!! LOL
A stick of butter in USA is 1/2 cup, 8 tablespoons.
I know
but so good
Wow all things pink and shiny im a friggen nerd today
James Martin says that here.
our butter comes in 4 sticks mostly
How do you measure butter in a cup without melting it?
you weigh it
just soften it a bit
So if a recipe is in cups you still have to weigh it?
no not if you get it by the pound
a pint's a pound the world around
No as cups and weights are different
liquid and solid measurements are different too
sometimes I cheat
Beginning to regret asking the question!
what was the question again? lol
Hmmmmmm!
OH I just found this really awesome conversion chart
http://tinyurl.com/56toqc
infernal you truly are a treasure. Thank you.
that's great herin ty I bookmarked it
k im back..who dares say butter is evil?
how are things going with school herin?
mrp did !!
who dare says indeed!!
Not me crossy. Can't stand the alternatives.
Good good. That was the stupid link i was first looking for. I use a lot of USA recipes
turkey is stuffed with cornbread stuffing and ive made little slits in the skin and slid butter chips in them..mmm cant wait
mmmm
its a 15 pounder;) gonna be eating this thing for 2 weeks
I really wish the gym had a Big sister Little sister Program
I'm doing roast lamb tonight with little spriggs of rosemary poked into little slits.
LOL infernal.
i could never get into the taste of lamb..funny considering my heratige:/
I'b be ther VERY big sister.
I love lamb but I'm the only one here
we don't have butter in the house... we use alternatives... nuttelex
ugh
My favourite roast meat.
in a dire emergency ill use olive oil based margerine
nuttelex is beautiful!!
hey all
tough grid?
is that the one Lee Iacoca used to hawk?
hey bf not bad
lots of babblets
Lee lacoca?? don't know that one
sog, not too bad at all
I use nutlex but but but its about the same as Butter. I love real fresh cow butter.
sometimes ill even make my own butter:)
Yum
grid is quite easy again
Hi Babble
he was pres of Chrysler but used to do ads on tv for an olive oil butter substitute can't remember the name
i have a mason jar with a egg beater mounted into the lid
Wasn't he the Chrysler guy?
That is Sam the Girl Koala.
do you use the lite nuttelex infern? i quite like it
you can cook with it too
wow crossy I thought you had a churn
nope the mason jar/beater works fine
I use it Mr Pres. I hate that fake crap.
that would be super to have is it very old?
a few babblets too sog
no.you can get modern reproductions of it westford
also great for scrabled eggs
no mess
hi all
not sure, we have never had it advertised here... but if you ever need a butter alternative, nuttelex is the best and tastiest! It is darn expensive but worth it
Scrabbled eggs?
Hi Adila
hi ardi feeling better?
toss in 5 or 6 eggs,some ham bits,some diced pepper and mushrooms.crank the thing for one minute and your done!
hi ardilla :))
Mr Pres can I ask what you pay for it in NSW?
about $3 infern
oh
I generally substitute horseradish for butter
lol frances,some times you have to interpet my typos
a little better still no voice
is it made with nut oil?
i have a promotion test tomorrow
so i won't be on for very long
that's okay ardi we can read you
oh ard! get better soon hun
You'll ace it

Hi Merk I have been wondering how you are
MERK!!! long time no chat
wow... merk!! :)) (hugs)
Yes, I'm in China so I'm nearer your time zone.
I guess I should change my flag.
YAh merk
phantom: Walpurgisnacht
I just refreshed, we'll see if it is updated.
phantom: radius
it did
Wow! Great color.
it did
I have not had time to read the news. Are the Australian bush fires under control. Did they catch some of the arsonists?
No to both
http://www.heraldsun.com.au this is the news
Oh no! So are people still continuing to be trapped. The last I read there were over 100 killed, I think.
merk, it is almost 200 now
the prediction is over 300, but more once the hospitals report their losses
How incredibly sad. I can't even imagine it. The earlier stories I read were so descriptive and some of the tales of the survivors were heartrending.
it is so so sad, beyond words...
I cant really talk about it sorry it just makes me so terribly said. Merk Highly doubt people will emerge from the ashes alive
yes, beyond words
I'm sure the count will be up once they are able to thoroughly search the debris and ashes.
SAd man i need to think
LOL I see limecat is now masquerading as a cupcake mrp.
I just finished reading a story of a husband wife their 3 year old and 8mnth old gone
oh you noticed frances! LOL
Well, I'll change the subject for a second, herin. This winter China is letting Lickety get through so I haven't needed you to copy and paste the list for me when I get stuck.
I'm not able to be here everyday because of responsibilities, but with a short grid like this, I can diddle around awhile. I don't even try any over 200.
YAH MERK that is good. Sorry I have been a bit distant. I did donate $50 in toiletries yesterday and the Blood bank have me on the people to vamp list
good on ya merk! Is lovely to see you here!
It is how I unwind after supper if I am free.
I must get on with my day. My continuing good wishes to all, especially for all my Aussie friends at this sad time. See you tomorrow.
I can't count the number of times I have tried 'rahs'. In the US it would be considered a cheerleader's cheer.
ANd the worst thing is people are getting pissy with the police for not letting them into their properties. The police don't want anyone to go in to these places until they are done.
thanks frances... we are doing a huge fundraiser tomorrow... thanks for the wishes :)
hi everyone
hi sandy :))
Merk, what time is it by you??
hi pres herin everyone
7:05 PM
OH MY A couple has come out of their home 4 days after the fire alive people thought they were gone. :D
Hi Sandy
All over the whole country ... unbelievable. How many time zones does Australia have?
we have 3 (4 in summer)
well its 8.06 in west aus
Thanks I couldn't answer that
Much more sensible.
good lord merk! they don't divvy up the country into time zones?? that is unbelievable!!
it is 10.06 in East Aust
but, it is 9.06pm in Queensland (cause they don't have daylight saving - even though they are eastern)
pres, you are not near the fires are you
When I am in Harbin in summer, the sun comes up at 3:30 a.m. because we are so far north and east in China. We are the eye of the rooster on the map.
we have the daylight saving of evil.... we are voting soon regarding whether it will stay
it is 8.36pm in Central Australia?
good lord Merk! how unreasonable! LOL
gm Babble
Sandy I am not either
i was wondering herin
glad to hear it
Hi Kristine. ANy news on hubby/
what time does sun come up and down by you sandy??
This is not always a country of reason. They cannot even fathom time zones unless they have done considerable travel in Australia or North America.
well fellow babblers, i'm going to attempt to study a bit
happy babbling all
hi krisine :)
If a fire starts near us i drive to find out where it is- almost all are deliberately lit!!
I went to see him yesterday ,,,,,
good on you ardilla! happy studying sweetie!
Study what, Ardilla?
AND????????
9 left... hmmm, think I will stay and finish it
wanna hear kristine!
Bye, Ardilla.
he was verl alert , they dropped his sedation meds and most of his pain meds because he was very confused , he was speaking as well as he could , he still has the NG Tube in his nose so that inhibits his speach , it was a good visit overall , he's still critical , but getting closer !!
89 left here but i just started lol
I'm stuck with 23 left.
this is all gone :( http://tinyurl.com/bxzvg8 YAH Nas. that is great. At least he isn't fighting them
well , he still has his moments where he forgets where he is
Well at least he isn't trying to be a pain in the arse and fighting them off
but I'm much more optimistic now that he is breathing on his own , he still requires 100 % oxygen by mask , but it's an improvement
true true lady
i just can't think
oh the confusion is horrid! He won't remember much (if anything) of that Kristine... poor darling
oxygen by mask is also very relaxing kristine... he will feel good with it
yes im counting in that mrp !!
for sure kristine
he was on some pretty heavy stuff
good Krist I am so glad to hear good news
ME TOO , And I'm even happier that now his mother and sister can go home :)
he won't remember hun... promise
they told me one of the meds he was receiving was an amnesiac < is that the right word ? lol
yes, amnesia
Mr Pres. Every were i went as a kid is all gone. Did you know it will take about 50 years for the forests to regenerate to the way it was
he won't remember. and don't tell him either... even when he asks.... unless it is a positive experience he is asking about
oh trust me , he
ll want to know
and fight me to tell him every detail
we had an arguement yesterday LOL
i wonder how the arsonists feel now they know the damage they have caused
yes infern... it is shocking, awful, incomprehensible.... I know the areas well... I did spend time in Vic as a young lady in my 20's and also drove through many of the areas... Vic is a beautiful place... may it's beauty return 10 fold
kris, is this your husband you are talking about?
sandy, they don't 'feel' anything... they are evil.
Sandy why the f would they care. 2 14 year old girls burned down 3 houses near my friends place on the weekend
the problem is, they work in pairs... that is just the epitomy of evil
btw, may I have a clue for sh5/14, last one??
so often the punishment doesnt fit the crime!! Can't understand why they would do it
of course they must be crazy-mentally disabled
no one can understand evil infern... it is too beyond our scope
My g.f and I have come up with good suggestions for these 14 year olds. Make them work in a burns unit for well ever and make them wear a burns suit (head to toe) for a year
put them in a high security male prison
there is a brilliant book... 'people of the lie'... it outlines evil in a way I never thought of ... shows how people just 'don't care'
Oh and today 2 scum bags stole a CFA bushfire appeal tin
i wonder what sort of upbringings these people have-some (a lot) of people dont deserve to have children
the looting and stealing is incredible... people pretending to be collecting money for the appeal. I so want to shoot them myself
And I don't like guns! I would use a crossbow
My thoughts cant be printed, I would be arrested
and a toothpick... and nail clippers... and a low percentage of sterile environment
sandy, you can express your thoughts hun... it is cathardic
I think sandy would make sailors blush
sh5/14, after coastlined??
i think so too
i feel very violent towards them - but it will be interesting to see what punishments they will receive if they catch anyone
Im sure it wont be enough
I love the kindness and blind faith of people though. One of the centres which monsqueek (see my icon) is full and they have re directed the goods
sandy, they will receive 25 years for each life... arson laws are upgraded to include homocide for anyone that dies as a result of arson
so they say but these days the justice system seems to fail in so many ways
Mrp ? did you get that sh 5,14 yet ?
i hope they parade them through the streets
let's pray it doesn't
OH side note. I have a really cheap way off amusing kitties
to rip to pieces like through a paper sh***der
hi kris
how lady
hey
Find a paper bag. Hours of amusement. Hi Lynn
clues for the bottom g plz
oh my kittens used to LOVE that
Lucius loves it
ge + cheerleader yell , and plural
they are saying more firebugs lit fires last night
Can you believe it!
ty kris lol needed that
ty kris
Lets not call them a fire bug. Call them for what they are murders and terrorist and acts of treason. I think the should be shot
yw yw
as 6?
dont have that one yet

Even if he was big friggen deal. Heaps of people left vehicles behind. He had to escape
Are there any aa words?

Hey Phand !! g + not him but *** + 1st and 4th vowel

oh and do you know how much fun it is to sleep in a bed were you share have a 1/4 of the bed the cats have 1/2
so, we all thought the kitties were old enough to be able to run around the house, and not have to be in their room anymore. Yeah. Great idea. three am I am awakened by a sandy tongue, licking my eyebrow. my EYEBROW already! cheese and rice!
lol Herin !
odd looking word, thanks so much
yw Phand !
too bad you can't plural it...
noooooooor Trifs that is too cute. Lucius did that whole purrrrrrrrr im in your face feed me thing today
ROFLMAO !!!!! Trif, thats adorable !!
i get that from my adult cats.... and right now my kitten is "murpy"....need to call the vet
Madam takes the middle of the bed and if you move because she moves she follows you then you have no bed and she gets all snitty if lucius gets up there too.
oh, yes, there was 100 decibel purring, and the damn bell collar dingling all night, and then the "hey looky, we can play with her hair!" portion of the evening....it was funny
I love your "cheese and rice" saying Trif, I usually shout "cheese and bread" !
Why Carlee?
dh5/16 - I've monkied that everywhere, it seems, and STILL not found it
oh dear, herin! they are getting along better though, yes?
28
I have never been this close before
makes me giddy
I got it from my mom, aussie - I guess it was big in the 50's
she's murpy....in heat..the sound they make sounds like " murp ...murp...murp"...hence..murpy
dh + urinary tract infection letters
easy, sue, easy....breathe deep
matty
trif..our new cat sat on my head last night and saw my tongue and procedded to try and "catch" it

Hi Ata!
G'd morning jorja
oh..thanks... I didn't have the chopped either....GAH
I'm pretty sure it's not a real word.
Did Hobbit take you for a nice walk ATa?
Anyone know the theme for today?
she did! we went down to a really nice beach and walked for about 2 hours
Sorry matty, I don't know. sprite's profile has them though!
She's a very responsible dog taking you for walks every day.
she's a good girl really. we had a lovely time out today. I just felt the need to get away from the house and bum around a beach for a bit. Beaches always calm me
do you have to walk hobbit on a leash when you are at the beach?
cupcakes, apparently
i should spend more time at the beach...i have one 5 mins away
no! she hardly ever goes on a lead. only when we're near roads
Great, cupcakes. Now I'm hungry.
wasn't sure whether you all had leash laws or not there
passing lori more wine so she forgets she's hungry
more sh clues please..they all seem to be babblets;((
we kind of do, but only really in the summer
hobbit must be very well trained then, to not take off on you!
***sips wine gratefully. Ignores grid***

hi flosey :)
Congratulations carlee! G'd morning flosey
what is it Carlee?
hi Flosey
moring flosey
I haven't looked at stats in about 4 years!
nor me
You don't check them every day Ata?
I'd rather do housework
for my pathfinders...we are planning a reaffirmation of the oath of citizenship ceremony...i FINALLY after a month..got comfirmation that not only will our MP do it...she got us the legion..for free..AND...they getting us..not only an RCMP officer..but CUTE RCMP officer ( a HUGE request by my 12-15 year old girls)
ackk!!! naught Ata!
Gah! The h word. Ick
a cute RCMP guy?! excellent!
my grandfather nearly ran away from home to join the RCMP
cool, Carlee!
Excellent carlee. Cute is always a plus.
in his red serge.....now..if only I can get the horse too <giggle>
9 left, and gtg. Back later. Have fun all.
a reaffirmation of the oath of citizenship?? what is that about carlee??
easy carlee..take a cold shower and forget the cute mountie
i go today to the legion ( a very stately building here in down...red brick..white trim georgian atately thing down town
bye dear!
bye lori! see you later :)
bye lori have a nice day
besides the obvious of course
back from the bus. fun fun fun
hi trif :))
hi Trif
whens omeone emmigrates to canada and becomes a citizen..they take an oath in a very formal ceremony....those born in canada...do not need to take the oath..but for those who WISH to...can take the oath in an official setting...its a nice little ceremony..we have war veterans coming..other local dignitaries..and some big wigs in ontario girl guiding coming cus I managed to pull all of this off
wow, carlee, good for you!!! I am sure the girls will always remember this
bye bye lori
21 to go! fast grid today!
well..who can forget a mountie in his red uniform...especially if he's cute...
so you are doing a reaffirmation for the kids??
it was very fast trif! then hit a wall at 12 LOL!! there were fishworthy slaps all round!
yeap... the oath actuall is very similar to the promise in guiding....more formally worded..but the gist essentially the same
that is lovely!
mind you, I haven't finished yet...could take me all day to find the last 21
isn't it the way trif?
should be great fun... I'm looking forward to it...hmm..I wonder if I can get the legion's pipe and drum band..or is that over the top?
how many girls are you brining, carlee?
there will be 16
is that more or less players than in the pipe and drum band?
all in uniform..will be great photo op for our MP...
about the same
sorry....bringing. Please don't brine the little girls!
but the crowd there will be about 80-100
okay. I think maybe it would be okay to ask for the band, then, if you are sure there will be more in the audience than in the band. that always sux
( I was kidding on the pipe and drum band..it IS over the top ...)
oh, okay. and of course, here *I* am saying going ahead!
hehehe....its ok trifs... canadians tend to be a little less over the top then u yanks... we're used to it :)
SOME yanks, dear. we New Englanders tend to be more reserved than, say, Californians
a single piper might be nice tho
hmmmmmm I'll have to think on that...when we close we sing taps...a piper or a bugle accompanying us would be cool
that sounds nice, actually.
ohh...the thought of that just gave me chills....I'll end up crying like a blubbering fool
mind I cry at anything that all sentimental and sappy....I even cry at parades
how over the top
a bugle playing it solo would be nice too. we do a nice thing here on memorial day - we have a parade and speeches, and at the end one bugler plays taps in the town square, and another echoes it from a cemetery about 1/4 miles away. it always gives me chills
instead of singing it, you could have a bugler play it
i know BR...I just weep on a dime..I used to cry with those old Bell telephone commercials
I am like that too, carlee. my southern friend says we are "sens-tive" with two syllables
when my daughter's school band plays her composition and arrangement I will be a complete MESS and total embarrassment to her
hello, I have 9 sh words, any more?
there 11
there a funny 6/7 combo
thanks, will look again
I have an sh6/7 combo
ok..then I will just keep mymouth sh4
NP, carlee, I appreciate any help
( we look good together peri..all purply )
:D
need one more sh word
and on that note time to get my feet all purple again..ttfn all *poof*
sh 5/14
thanks, BR is there more than one sh5/14, I have one
bye carlee!
byeee Carlee
only one
ok
ok
there are two, sorry
oh, I have a piece of something
one a plural;
thanks so much, BR, always miss the plurals
sh 4 and 5 at the very begiinning
wow, so funny, there's a guy who plays iron sudoku named haxored - that's a name i never expected to see in a babble grid!
25 left and stuck, bbl to finish
has there been a clue for the sh 6/7. If so, could someone reclue it for me, please
hi smurshy!
h'lo *hug* how are you ata dear?
tired and I should be writing an essay but I'm not
what's the essay about?
you'll regret wanting to know this lol, it's about environment impacts in estuaries, especially in estuarine salt marsh habitats
impacts of what? climate change?
about mud, basically
climate change, land use, human use of the estuary, pollution, you name it
I think that sounds very interesting, ata! what did you find had the biggest impact?
sounds dirty, Ata
everybody loves mud!
we have tons of salt marshes around here, so that is something that we care a lot about in massachusetts
it's impossible to say really. salt marshes are very sensitive to sea level changes and changes in the tidal prism - which is the volume of water going through the marshes. other bits of estuaries are sensiive to different things
got it, nm
I love salt marshes. No idea why
mud is great!
could I have a clue for ra5 please
are the marshes near you showing signs of trouble?
salt marshes here have been managed for quite a while now, even though they are decreasing in size by about 8% per year. We have issues with grazing, and sea level change
I would say erosion and non-native invasive grasses seem to be the biggest issues here
*sigh* hi everyone
Will I kick myself when I find out what the first ha5/14 is (not the one that is the past tense of rabbitish
TO, are you okay????
erosion from man using the marshes? or stronger tides / more water?
I have some papers here I think about MA salt marshes
ok...just tried to help bit across the aisle with work and she took a snipe at me.
annoying person
not sure, actually. Don't know as much as you do, obviously, as i am not studying marshes, I have read about them in the paper. I think, if I remember, it is global warming effecting the tides, which then changes the tidal prism
bummer TO.
totally selfish fishwife of a woman
just wondered, it's not the sort of thing most ppl know!
ata: who're you calling annoying????
when I finish this essay, I'll have a look into it
your co-worker!
it has been in the local papers a lot
ra 5 -- add income is ta***
i bet i can out-annoy her ANYDAY! i KNOW i can!
guys? ha5/14 - the first one?
especially the part about the grasses. wish I could remember what the grass was called....
any ex words?
spartina?
Please? folks?
that's normally the culprit
massachusetts now has a whole list of plants we are not allowed to plant, as they are so invasive. purple loosetrife, japanese bittersweet, that sort of thing
no ex's TO
don't know, sorry matty
yeah and they can enforece that , too can't they?
ha 5 --- karma: *e**iny
matty - used to have it, plus abbreviation for peter at the pearly gates
thanks Babble!
and Trif!
*repeats mantra* no one sets my tone but me, no one can ruin my day unless i let them* i think i am gong to go chill
go you, TO. absolutely rght
I don't know how or if they enforce the law, TO, but I know that stores can get fined for selling them
they can't enforce ppl having the plants, but they can darn well stick big fines on you if someone notices
it seems that when abused women get out of their abusive relationship, they become monsters of selfishness, with good reason. however, that doesn't inlcude the right to be rude to others
repeats my mantra: my mantra my mantra my mantra my mantra
personally, I think ribbon grass and mint should go on the list! oh, and tansy. pain in my lawn tansy
this is the one who i can't block out with earphones and who runs around sayng she's hot abd puts on the A/C when it's 30
br;right on

i have NO idea where to go with the G's
i think we have had a run of teensy grids lately, yes?
one is a gh6
yuk ... the grid is not nice to me today
well it's not ghetto, i think that exhausts my knowledge of gh6 words.
noooo there's another one that turns up sometimes
hurshy, we have had that gh before
and hello everyone
ends in 2 vowels
aha! two vowels! got it!
hi Annie!
I'd love to know what it meant
Hi Atalante, How is dear Hobbit?

Ata, Sounds lovely. Do you walk Hobbit or does Hobbit walk you?

i am so jealous of ata's life...

dh and bladder infection
how about the R in the left column?

okay, I am off. have a good day all! blessings....
Ata, sounds better than the therapist's office
NM

Hi for a few!
bye Pini, have fun at/with work
BR - Not cynicism from me! I just think you are incredible brilliant!
Clue for first ha5/14, please?
how many points in that gh 6?
*seconds car.ee*
i didn't mean to be a cynic.
27, nan
just a plodder plod plod plod
old english past tense of to have - ha
but a very good one, BabbleRabble
I cannot get this GH!
ty sprite -- found it
*blank stare*
car.ee, there is a sun god in it
great, nan
what is the alpha-numeric for the bottom d?
Judi, if the past tense of to have would have a superlative, it would be this
dh5/16
Ty, Sprite. I should have knowdst that.
lots of phantoms in this one!
Fireworkeths.
congrats, Judi!!
Yay Judi!!!!!!
ty sprite -- got it
wtg Judi! You shouldst, but you arst forgiven
MG, who is that adorable redhead?

Akkk, capslock thing again! Sigh.
Thanks! He is showing off the chair he painted.
I'm off. See you kids tomorrow. *POOF*
bye Judi
Bye Judi!
Clue for the aa?
a sigh of contentment, MG?
ooh -- do you really need it monkey?
or sighs..
I guess not if you're going to put it THAT way, Nan.. will look harder...
The sigh was for the weird recurrent capslock thing this laptop does.
nah, MG, that was the clue!
Oh, that was a CLUE! I'm so dense!!!
Got it anyway...
Hang on, my Dad just hit the chat software...
hope the fish is fresh!
I really want radius to be in this grid.

yw
hey MonkeyG, hi ruru, hi aeb
hi ruru
morning sprite.. how are you?
what we should do to the bankers...the gh word, that is.
flying from pc to toilet and back all the time. Otherwise relatively ok, and you?
flu bug?
I am doing well...working long hours and a lot of driving..
Hi Sprite, chatting with my dad, back on more fully soon...
yeah, thought it was dead. But it isn't, or this is a new one. I apologise if I don't answer - I'll be back to the toilet then and can't see the chat :)
hi Jindigo
lovely, MonkeyG. Tell him hi from me :)
no fun that is.. had it last October...
have oa and oh x 2 -- missing?
the toilet was my best friend for a week

lots of babblets in this grid
tough one sprite! -- can you not get flu shots where you are?
ty ruru
yw
down to 12 -- time for me to hop in the shower and get ready for the day! -- bbl
back again. Nan, already had a flu shot this year! But they only work against the known viruses, the big flus. One can still get ill from others... especially when you have a low resistance.
since your resistance is low, I'm glad you can get protection for the ones for which there are vaccinations. I realize it is somewhat of a guessing game for the medics.
yes it is, and I am happy I got the shot anyway. There are a whole lot of flus I won't get this year :)
gaaah isn't a word??
of course it is, torgone. You do remember enable is a crazy dictionary, right?
should be huh
I get one every year too -- even though I don't often catch the bugs that are circulating. I volunteer at the hospital, so a shot is required.
I'm reminded every day ..
as it should be, nan. Hospital bugs are even worse than normal ones.
if we can have argh, why not arhg -- close enough isn't it?
that would be a phantom. aaaregh should count too
agreed!
really off for a little while now -- bbl
i want exhaust!!
bye nan
or exude
indeed phaeton
are there any EX words?
no, none
at least, none that start with ex
poo!
*evil grin*
fireworks. Good grid, but last part wasn't easy
Back just for a very few... still "talking" with Dad, and Walter is getting frustrated with mama always being on that boring computer. Will be bowing out soon.
Yay for your fireworks!!!!!
WTG sprite!!
must be off too. Hug your little monkey man from me, MonkeyG. Bye all, have fun :)
Will do! Bye Sprite, be well!
OK, I'm outta here too. Have fun all, back sporadically!
bye sprite and MG

No Blank Tiles
:) harp
you mean at least one word from each tile?
right phae
no zeros
thanks harp...was never sure what that meant
it's just come into use recently i think
1 word to go
i thought it meant nothing but T's
it's an A5
did you pl the ai4?
I have ai5, at5 and au5... anyone know which one is missing?
"nothing but T's" LOL
I always think "nothing but" for NBT too, and then I have to stop and retranslate
by the way, if babblers want to see a live harpjane, look at the Old Faithful webcam at precisely 7:30 a.m. MST on Tuesday. I promise to stand there and wave!
can't help with the a5 :(
Make that 7:45, gotta check out that day
oh cool harp, I will try to catch that
save the image if you can and send it to me!
well, I can clue anything BUT the a5 that I'm missing
if anyone needs it
a5 almost what a chiropractor does
harpjane --thx for the clue
yvw
thanks harp!!!
I was so intent on the grid, I didn't see your clue for a minute or two
it's how we clean our house, we spray Pledge on our long hair cat and he runs around, all ad5
nice :)
ooh, ooh, might have a job opportunity in my inbox
and seeing I didn't win Megamillions last night, I suppose the job hunt is still officially on
wow, i wish someone would deliver jobs to MY inbox!
'fingers crossed for nrkii'!!
not me...don't want to work
me neither, but my bills dictate that I must
work is really highly overrated
most of the retired people i know are busier than i am
hi again -- back for the last few
hi nan!
ugh, I don't think I'm qualified for the job
next month i turn 57, which is the age my dad was when he dies of an aneurism, kind of creepy

it was helpful to me, however...
well that's good, at least
those A words are tough today. still need a couple

stac, do you know about lickety's clues?
ty tor - should have seen that. what are lickety's clues
If you scroll down under the tile stats, you see a link to lickety's clues. I click that open in a new tab in my browser -- (and I have an add on to Firefox that lets me open that in a sidebar, so I can see the clue list at the same time as the babble page, it's called the all-in-one sidebar.)
Lickety is how many of us know how many "so " words, etc.
I usually start without using it, then break down and use it and ask for clues.
wow, didn't know this existed. this could really help. thanks!
YW Stac
if you go pro you can also get Babble Expert Stac
only 7 left, closest I have come without lickety! *swells with pride* lol
what's babble expert?
praise2 what's babble expert?
it is a program that lickety put together-it has th grid and the clues all in one
I just emailed him and he sent it to me
Good to know--thanks for the info praise2.
yw--I believe that his email addy is on the clues page
Fireworks! Yay!

Can anyone help clue the 1st gi?
and my prize??
It is the one before gi** your loins
yw, Mich
gi 4 --- add sahara *e*ert
I love that word, Mich. It is a sheep disease, characterized by dizziness and falling down. Think of a word meaning happy to the point of silliness. Make it a noun.
Thanks BR
Krista, do you have the ha5-14? It's my last one and iI was hoping that it would plural the 4-5, but no. Thanks
Cute fuq!
yes
past tense of the rabbit, peach
past tense of another word for rabbit :)
Interestingly that word gi* is Hebrew for goat
ding ding
hello :lol:
even more interesting, because the sheep comment made me think of fainting goats
Oh, Krista, I forgot to ask for the ha5-14 the 1st.
Do goats faint?
oh, sorry, don't have it then..i'm sure the others do
I just can't wait to say, oh I can't come to work today, I've got the gi4....
hi starz24
Thank you anyway, Krista.
some do, Stidgemere! How are you?
hi. krista
May I please have a clue for ha5-14 the 1st? Thanks
how do u change ur pic
I'm fine Krista. Just wiling away the time with challenging words and great people.
I don't know how to change my picture so I am stuck with Arthur. At least you always know its really me.
starz: click on My Account (top right corner of this page)..click EDIT under thumbnail pic there..should be easy from there
I miss Arhtur, Stidmere. My kids have outgrown it. I always get attached to their TV shows for some reason.
for the last 2 weeks or so, when I want to look at someone's profile it causes my internet explorer to turn itself off.
starz, have you gone pro yet? You can only have a pic if you have paid the pro membership
i keep spelling your name wrong: Stidgmere. There.
gapeach1066 - you have h8d your pudding then add to letter
i just found that out. idk if i'm able 2 bcome a pro
*add two letters
oh, good point Fuquay...sorry starz
it's ok
BBL
bye for now, Mich!
dh clue?
ha5= old fashioned past tense of to have
how long have u guys been a member of babble?
dh5= it is my "duty" to help fellow babblers -- change the spelling as if you are from India
Range from a few minutes to 4+ years, starz...
since about June, starz
ty fuqua

for almosst 5 years, Starz
Go Harry!
Thanks, zoozzoom. That was the last one. See y'all tomorrow.

and I still can't type properly in this box :)
can anyone tell me how many HO words there are?
igu...gh6?
6 ho words
Bye GA! Congrats on finishing!
Oh my heavens Krista, that will be an anniversary! Are you one of the very first?
Congrats Peach!!
Bye peach!
your welcome peach
Hi I'm back. My daughter had winter camp and just came back. She is going to sleep now, they don't sleep at winter camp.
gh6= a gh**kin is a kind of pickle. Add two vowels
I know Ata joined about a week before I did...I know others are out there.
Took a mo to process that, Mich. I thought you meant that winter camp doesn't allow sleep!
ty fuqu...that's one crazy word
no kidding. I never would have gotten that without the chog
last word is as6...any clues?
when you disembark from a ship, you come as6
oh duh!!!
thanks !
Michael, Row the Boat as****, Harry
LOL, Uniquity. No. They actually did sleep, from about 4-6 AM. The idea is to have fun for 48 hours with your classmates to relieve the tension of midterms. I actually like the idea.
OK - one more question - what should I make for supper?
too late
zooz is right..i'm giving up clue-giving :)
how do u play babble
Sloppy joes. My kids just discovered this and the love it in a pita.
ty krista :)
find words from tiles that touch each other, starz..they have to be at least 4 letters long
mich I have a vegetarian kitchen - no keilim besarim
lol, Mich...cultures colliding
but felafel is an idea :)
you are better than me Krista, thats for sure...lol
yw harry. :) no I'm not, Zooz! thanks, but nope!
o, thanx
it gets easier the more you play, Starz
Not cultures colliding, more like fusion. You can still do a sauce in a pita thing Harry, how about stir fried veggies w/tofu? Or Veg. lasagne?
any re words? I'm failing to find my last R from right side...
re4/6, fuquay
I made stir fry w/ tofu last week - kids won't hardly eat it. I think I'll make omellettes
night all :)
Hey Harry, Aich HaIvrit Shelcha?
oh right, have that one. if that's the only one then I need to look elsewhere
could it be rh4/6?
Harry, how about a frittata? My kids are really into that lately too. We have that almost once a week.
got that one too, tina
An rh 4, ri 4 (both babblets) and 3 ra words
sorry read it wrong - you said re words duh!
If you've got the stuff, spinach manicotti is always delicious!
OK, it's ra then. thanks uni and tina
I think Harry left but I am getting hungry again.
If you've got the stuff, spinach manicotti is always delicious!
i love pita bread..may have to try the black bean sloppy joes we usually eat
lol..I always get hungry here
Oh Krista, can you send me the recipe? My daughter is a vegetarian and just doesn't get enough protein.
funny ra4 with three vowels
Ok i`m going now...happy babbling babblers :-)
my stomach is growling... haven't had a sloppy joe in ages and it sounds so good...
by zoom
sure thing, Mich..I see your email there..I may have to look for it
Thanks. No hurry, but I'm always looking for new ways to sneak protein into her food.
da4= like a female offspring...
1 to go
Just grayed my h box. I was stumped on the last two ho's - the Israeli dance. Figures.
it's very hard, I know..we were vegetarians until we found out my daughter is allergic to nuts, soy, and most seeds..doesn't leave a whole lot
clue for oh 5/12 please?
and wont eat beans
plural of oh4. almost like a midwestern state, but different final vowel
Thanks fuq. I only have 10 left but hadn't gotten even one o word.
Wow Krista that must have been hard. What do you eat now? Fish and chicken?
Borborygmi: Audible rumbling abdominal sounds due to gas gurgling with liquid as it passes through the intestines.
Thanks fuq
That is really an oanamonapia (I am sure I misspelled that)
-we eat it all, Mich..not much beef, but we're carnivores
my last word is an s5 from lower s. any ideas?
love that word, br!
have some Kung Pao chicken that keeps calling my name..need to go get some...thanks for clues and chat!
Do you have sh*** like putting secret documents into a paper sh***er?

Got it, Thanks nrkii. Now I am missing the sh7

Thanks nrkii

HI Lb im no were near but there is links in my icon

hi Min! Hi Andree!
Does anyone have a clue for the gh 6/27 word please
Yes
Hi, Min
you are alot nearer than i am herin
hi krista, hi min
Yes I am and I am sad. For a fact the news is heavily censored. You really don't want to hear about it
gh+ long time + vowel
hi Min, welcome to the grid. how are you this evening?
Thank you for the gh6/27 clue. I just found the word
what we are hearing is very bad, so it must be awful
My t's and p's to all our Australian friends and their families.
thx ibd
what do you mean censored herin
Does anyone have a clue for the ha 5/14 word please
It is Krista. There is some links on my icon that show what Melbourne Maniacs have been doing.
herin, i thought of you when i first heard the arson reports. I told my hubby that my friend in Oz told me that...
and yes it is very bad krista
Andree what I mean by censored is there is a lot of really horrid stuff not being said
Thank you LB
min, the first one is old english pt have, the second one is pt of rabbit
ibd, only a couple out of more than 40 fires have been deliberate, the press really make me mad
Thank you for the ha5/14 clue. I just found the word
well being burned to death is really horrid so i can imagine what we are not hearing
Really going now...hugs to all!
just the thought of one fire being deliberate boils my blood. arsonists are notorius during our fire season too.
Andree my friend has spent 17 straight hours up in kinglake doing security. Last night she was sitting there doing the*lalallallalalala can't think clowns stolen my brain*

hey krista
did i hear that whole towns have burned in the bushfires?
sh6/24 #1??
listening to dan's puppies in the background whining, lol
Scrabler that is Sam the Female Koala. She was buggered and just gave up. She wanted help. Wild life reacts one of two ways ''bugger this i want help'' or bugger off im going to eat you.
the rspca and other animal groups are heavily involved scrabbler and are doing what they can to save the wildlife
that's what i've heard, krista
Krista Yes
oh scrabbs...how sad
Marysville 1 in 5 dead they think, Kingslake and Kingslake west are the major ones
dh + urinary tract infection? how about a clue for a nonmedical type pls
they think about a million native animals dead
at healsville which eventually was okay[ I think but haven't seen news today] they actually evacuated the wildlife. i am a bit foxed about how you would do that but it was on the news
that is terrible herin
DH + Urinary Tract Infection ..
The photo of that rescuer and koala almost made me cry--so sweet!
jm, use the initials
Oh, no, herin!

pl of sh6
sh6= s + what's on your head + consonant
ty jell
hockey is legalized mayhem under the guise of a sporting event
I love hockey. You gotta be able to skate fast and aim that small puck all at the same time...
that's why I am a baseball fan nice and slow but exciting
i think they are very skillful
I think Sh**in should be a nice compound word.
I seriously didn't see that
or is it skilled...grammar part of brain not working
you have a point red
I think Krista they can be both.
thanks, Red..hate when I do that
what, Herin?
the plural of the 6
are you coming to BabFest '09 Sunday, JMC?
:-( I am in Indiana until Sunday if you are talking about lunch this Sunday
oh, darn
I want to go
Me too, herin!
I don't get to play much Sunday afternoons anyway since that it my time for my mother
you are more than welcome, Herin...we should set up a live cam like dan's puppies lol
i'll be there in spirit...haunting everyone! lol
I really wanted to come though sigh
Yah
ooo there are suppose to be free wifi spots in dc now you could totally do a cam
I one had "dinner" with my sister's family via the speakerphone mode on her phone...
it would so nice to meet all of you..i am actually kind of nervous
I am done! I have fireworks! in6/21 was my last word
Once, not one
Yay, Min!!!!
are we back to the boss/teacher asking to speak with you a moment? lol
wtg min
i hate speakerphone, jellen, lol..what was that like?
Can stay to help clue for a little bit before I goto bed
whooooo hoooooo MIN!!!
what was that in6 exactly?
ra 4/5 pls
we used to have meetings at work via speakerphone and it was painful
It was fun actually...
in 6 is a tax brand name
sploshy red itchy spots, jmc
yes, jmc, something like that :)
in 6/21 is in + King *** with extra vowel in the middle.
in6 = women's in****ion
in + when you get around ****
oooo now I see is lbg I guess I wasn't allergic to the fish that was sitting there
i'm sure it helps if you know the people and their voices, unlike me at work...it was like Who's on First
That ra 4/5 word is a skin problem kmcnrick.
when we do telephone conference call we require people to state their names each time they speak for the first half hour
ty min and lbd
thanks
good idea
maybe people could bring name tags with both their names and their Babble name
i thought about suggesting that, actually!
i know what most look like from FB, but not all
Ooh. Someone could bring placecards and markers to decorate them...
the problem with FB is I am not always sure who they are on Babble
I
ooo I am so jealous
I put my Babble name in my profile
shoot, sorry..mine is easy to tell..Jellen and I figured out that putting the name under the pic on FB works well
good idea jell
I will try to do that -- although I think mine is pretty obvious as well
didnt know u were on there
are you one of jellen's friends? if so, i can find u that way
yep in DC and friends with many Babblers on FB (just not sure who they all are) I will go check
Yes, jmc is one of my friends
jell send me a FB message so i can figure out who you are

Cannot take the credit! It has been passed around all day on the chog!
runs in the family, so be careful!
What about Melbourne?
: )
I am gonna poof now, and try to get some sleep. alarm will ring sooner than is welcome, but do have all next week off, so that's a blessing. nytol!
she is planning to go there during a break in classes or at the end of the semester but definetly will be spending time there we know someone there
Trif, FYI...I have another talent!!!

{{{{uploading now}}}}
* checks the pb for car's choc dipped strawberries
go easy Pini! Week 2 of the weight loss challenge is going rough for me!
herin she has not heard from these people since the fires though
did you prepare it, pini?
This is a healthy dinner, sistah!!!!!
My dau did...she loves to cook...
Rock on!
We had "Fish and Chips"...
...lightly breaded catfish and yam wedges (like jojo's)
Yummmmmmmmmmmmm1
The recipe was from "Eat This / Not That"!
sounds yummy
yum! better than the standard spag bol we had
Oh, it's getting to be snack time :-)
My tummy is now roaring!!!!
btw, car, I have a new theme song....
one you can say in public?
throwing it all away, by genesis. LOVE when the lyrics of a song so perfectly describe a period of life
We're not doing the "diet" thing; instead, we're making a huge effort to just "eat better" (and healthier - alleged weight loss will follow as a result)
hello, i'm having trouble with the ra5, could i get a cluer?
good song Trif
If anyone wants the recipe, just email me. ;)
Perfect Trif! I used that song once too! It does fit!
*hi btw
babbling during commercials
r + a*** (chopped wood)
pini you are on the right track, I promise! I had a friend who dropped 26 pounds simply by giving up any and all sodas for 7 months
Harp, RA + 2 vowels
btw: hi harp
Hi Harp
Duh! Wrong word! NM!
you are just delirious from hunger, car, it'll pass....
thanks, Trif!
rofl trif
poor sistah :(
That is why I love this weight loss challenge! It is learning better eating habits and making changes for long-term health benefits as well as weight loss!
Tell me! Once again, mom has sent sabotage during the weight loss challenge!!! Big box o' Russell Stovers!
NEF- r u still here
sistah...I picked up two of the 3 "Eat This / Not That" books...they're awesome and they actually "make sense"!!!!!
another friend lost 8 pounds after he gave up bread, and shot me a death stare when I asked "no bread? How do you eat a roast beef sandwich with no bread?"
regift it, car, or food pantry it. get it out of the house
I will check the library for them and if not then to Borders I go!
Ummmmm....it's all gone!
I got mine at Costco
I swear it wasn't me! I only had 4 out of the whole heart-shaped box o' sin!
gone eaten or gone, gone
(((((moment of silence in memory of the beloved Whitman's Samplers of my youth))))))
DR....eaten.
Ah yes! The postman!
its ok Car- being perfect is boring
No really! I have 2 little boys and a DH who loves candy!
I know... jake would eat the whole thing
I know DR...I do get bored!!! :-)
yes, me too
OK, so do any of you have any advice/treatment for an extremely bad groin pull injury?
gads, I can hear the kitties RUNNING through the halls, the little scamps!
Yeah! Kitties!
no, sorry, car, I only know how to inflict those, not cure them :)
It is really becoming debilitating.
nope
Avoidance is my advice...
sistah...when I was on drill team, we used bengay and heat pad
not ice?
It is to the point where I can only stand for short periods of time and then I have to "rest".
ice tightens the muscles...heat relaxes them
I am terrified to put Ben-Gay "there". It goes from the inside of my inner thigh all the way up to my lower abdomen.
yes, being gay, ben won't like it much
well, I wouldn't put it "there" either, sistah...just where you feel comfortable! :)
Geez! I'll buy him a drink first!
TRIF!
TRIF!
can you guys adopt me?? I only have brothers
who's pink and rides in a chariot? BEN GAY
DR...you are in!
yeah!!!
We accept PayPal and money orders...
dr, were you born in 1965? we could be twins!
hands over a money order and some hersheys dark sugar free choclate
Love you!
From WebMD: Happily, a groin pull will usually heal on its own. You just need to give it some time and rest. To speed the healing, you can: * Ice the inside of your thigh to reduce pain and swelling. Experts recommend doing it for 20-30 minutes every 3-4 hours for 2-3 days, or until the pain is gone. * Compress your thigh using an elastic bandage or tape. * Take anti-inflammatory painkillers. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), like Advil, Aleve, or Motrin, will help with pain and swelling. However, these drugs can have side effects. So they should be used only occasionally, unless your doctor specifically says otherwise. * Practice stretching and strengthening exercises if your doctor recommends them.
June 2nd Trif
or bring 6 more friends and we could be octuplets....15 more friends and we can be the Duggars
Can Ben-Gay come hold the ice pack?
for groin pull--Rest Ice Compression Elevation (r.i.c.e.)
Twins is good
You guys! TY! This is great!
wow...guess I'm glad I'm not a doctor!
Did you see the Duggar wedding special Trif?
Hi, kier
is that what NSAIDs stands for? always wondered that....
oh no.... not the duggar wedding again ..... ACK
I'm going to be 45 tomorrow...
no, missed the wedding, but given the rate at which they show reruns, I will catch it eventually
Jellen! HBD!!!!!!
HEB, jellen!
HAPY EARLY BIRTHDAY MY DEAR FRIEND Jellen
gotta catch that "first kiss" of theirs....followed shortly by a groin pull, probably
Good grief Pini! You are one of us!
* not really yelling just excited
LOL Trif!
* blink * huh?
the whole duggar family kind of freaks me out
ta, car
We both typed our birthday wishes in short hand!
ROFL!
Thank you, thank you...it's amazing I've survived this long :-)
kier- they are making a movie of your icon
It's babble...it keeps you young!
maybe the Duggars could take in that lady with the 14 babies, and teach her how to manage them
REALLY???? WHY?!?!?! Why do they have to ruin everything waahhh
tht is exactly what I thought
Jellen...any big plans?
I wonder if the Duggar's will take in octomom and teach her some responsibility...
Again...Pini/Trif....related!
Going to Tulsa to shop, eat, and gamble...
you guys even think alike Trif and Pini
two girls, one brain - one half-wit left....
Ooooh! I want to go!
octomom? bwahh. but she is octo-sextuplomom
I'm the 1/4 wit!
ok 10 words to find
Oh, missed that Trif's stmt...
...we are good! ;)
Go Dr, Go!

I need to get some Benadryl..BRB
I think the doctor that implanted the eggs should be ordered to pay child support for them
The news said earlier that she's created her own website and under one of the lower pics placed a DONATE button!
Estimated costs to raise just the 8 is approx $1M per year...
let'
let's send her some condoms....oh, wait, that won't help her....
wow, same as raising three! weird
Good Grief! Why didn't my kids ever tell me that Bubble Gum Benadryl was so sickly sweet!?!?!?! I think I need to enter that into my food/calorie count!
her excuse for having so many children is the result of being an only child...
She should babble...then she wouldn't be lonely!
I have 1 and he makes me nuts
..and one of her daughters said she's not too keen on having so many brothers and sisters...
* actually was nuts before him
And aren't the other 6 kids company enough for her?
she should WORK
Poor kid.
* No offense to those who stay home
That would cut into her soap opera watching!
I think she should've been fixed long ago...
Please spay or neuter your pet...
but she doesnt wokr and has 14 kids so my tax dollars are paying for her kids
None taken DR>
...oh, and she denies having plastic surgery...can you say, "My face doesn't look plastic, does it?"
* work
I think it is funny, here in America - when poor women work, we say they should go out to work. When middle class women work and put their kids in day care, we say they are selfish career women who should stay home and not pawn the kids off on nannies.
Pini, clearly the IVF involved Botox!
I have the best of both.. I work 9-3
sorry, I meant to say when poor women stay home with their kids, we say they should be working....
just a tad, ya think?
DR...how many left now?

Hi kaz -- glad I finished last night cuz today was too busy
Anyone here have any clues for seven letter words?
his old car totally DIED and won't move (it's at the parking lot at work and it looks like an axle broke) and they are expecting their 1st kid in 2 months. This is what I call a Granny Car: Granny bought it and drove it and took it in to the dealer and took beautiful care of it
Yes, Kaz, but you wouldn't be able to use Babble Expert...
kaz, you can still play, but no BabbleExpert
duh...swanny add the pl to the sh6 clue jellen just gave
i been crazy busy all week..be nice to have a slightly less crazy one next week when kids are out fo school!

Kaz, I hear you can do Windows on a Mac, but I don't know if that applies to Expert. Would Lickety know?
lol, BR
instead of the pl at the end of the ti5 word, put it at the beginning
oh dear, babrab *groan*
its not definite i'm changing, but i'm having enormous puter issues and hubby has a spare mac laptop that he wants me to try
I'm not sure what Babble Expert is, but Lickety once told me that he hadn't updated some program for macs
hi all, here for the flip but already falling asleep!

Yay, mkg!
wtg mkg and Pav
Jilli...I have been using Expert on the Windows sideof my Mac for months...I've been using the Windows side for the past year and now all of a sudden I get a virus that shuts down the Win side only?
kaz, I play on a mac, works fine, but don't really have time to explore all the helps below
Hi, o2
hi jell!
I do use some of the features for licketys list, but I don't get the special effects that others do
as long as I can play I'll be happy!
how many next grid? 225 ??
BabbleExpert is wonderful and puts everything on one page, plus has "Lickety Add", where it you type one word it goes to the list, and if you type more than one word it goes to the chat.
187
hey mrp...i hope not...i wont have time for that I dont think
198
thats the best jilli
OH! That sounds like a neat feature, Jilli!
yikes! I would be in big trouble w/ lickety add!
I'm afraid we're overdue for a monster like 420
Expert is really good to have...
