night ruru -- best of British luck
did you see the melon???????
bacon paste, Kate? Yuk!
yes that melon with bacon smacked me right between the eyes - why didn't i think of it myself? cos it goes against nature, that's why!
need a sedative after a visit ti that site for sure
now they are coming out with bacon shoes
hi br . bacon shoes , should i call crossy?
are they issuing the bacon shoes to postal workers to distract dogs from their calfs?
didn't you like it jil?...doesn't everyone put bacon on their cantaloupe?
the postal workers' calfs, that is, not the dogs'
LMAO gort
multitasking shoes finish your day and eat your shoes for supper
yes i spose a bacon shoe is at it's most tender and parmesany at the end of a long hard day at the end of your foot
you might even be able to pick up some gum along the way
first and second course and footwear rolled into one - willy wonker eat your heart out
you could add them to the stone soup maybe?
how did you stumble upon this groundbreaking news item, bab?
with gum you wouldn't have to worry about holes keaking
ach, but I love the masculine breadmeat stuff, lol!
glad you enjpyed jil ;-)
it's a classic
from the "We Love Bacon Newsletter"
does crossy edit that br?
no idea
" HAVE COURAGE "...in magnetic letters on my fridge. the future may be shadowy, but i have a flickering candle...
got some of those new-fangled walking poles the other day ... still have not figured out how to get them to walk
like to see a video of that
caught a quick snippet news preview..is the eastenders going off air?
Better ask the brits, Kate
We used to get that in the Mtl area, but not here.
they deidn't say which soap..but did say long running british soap..so not neighbours..that's aussie
Better not be Coronation Street!
Must be CBC messing around again
really don't know..but aren't we 3 tears behind in corry here?
no, just about one year
or did you really mean tears?
so you're good for a year then?
It ain't wot it usedter be.
Maybe they're talking about someting else, like the Archers on the radio, or Emmerdale on TV
they only said long running british soap going off air
LOL
going off air where?
nbt finally (pathetic)
there...sounded like the productiom was cancelled
allo! what a day what a day what a day!
hi pav -- why?
pavy! and of course poopies! how are you all?
How's this for a news item? (from the Daily Telegraph online) : A glowing trail spotted in the night sky above North America was caused by a falling block of astronaut urine, Nasa has disclosed.
I woke up this morning at 5, thinking I could call the bakery to have a BD made for our admin assist...only to find out the phone numbers listed were all for the pharmacies at each grocery store...so I just stopped by a place on the way in to work...was delayed another hour going back to pick it up, had a meeting with the Gov's office and then had "lunch" too late...got home just a few mins before ten...and now am pooped...
BD cake made...let's special order our very own BD's shall we?...
heck of a day pav. don'[t yu hate when life gets in the way of getting things done?
choclit buffet and champoagne inPB leftover from dee's birthday today
yes, of late, work is getting in the way of life...
Well, I'm off to bed, leaving you with the thought at 1:43 you didn't notice :)
frances' birthday is tuesday, jai's is the 25th
so the cake I ordered was a choc with raspberry filling and white buttercream icing,,, pure sugar all around...
saw it jil..thinking of an appropriate response....notheing trickled through though
Night all *poof*
no Jilli, I'd heard that and I find it strange that such a thing could actually be diagnosed so assuredly ...
lol, kate!
to die for pav..am starved, just going to have a bite now..
night jil
à demain!
probably some conspiracy theory type cover up pav, have no fear..the gov't wil never tell us the truth if a lie will do just as well. HAHAHA
bon soir

just started myself. late to the flip then all chat - no babble...now dinner
oh. I'm skipping bed to do a bit o' grid
i have 42 after a quick glance, but i don't think it looks friendly at all
priorities, freep. glad yours are correct...
yes, they are
^_^
frances - haven't forgotten your birthday is tuesday...any special requests? i may appoint myself babble pastry chef...will speak to sprite about that...
Thank you Kate. A surprise would be wonderful.
dinner or dessert? snacks or a meal?
I'm usually a savoury type person so a dessert would be a special treat.
any special flavours, ingredients...boozy or not?
Oh, definitely boozy!
boozy and fruity ? boozy and chocolatey? boozy and boozier?
boozy and fruity or boozy and boozier please. Not a big chocolate eater.
Hi
Hi infernal.
Howdy Back

Ok Kate bye bye
Hope you are relaxing and enjoing the break.
am herer just not chatting for a few mins
I am but I have got a cold and its annoying
Colds are very annoying. Hope it is gone soon.
Thanks I can't take the meds needed for the head cold as it clashes with my anti depresants
That doesn't sound too good.
its iritating
Hope you're being pampered then. Are the cats well?
. . . . and the boyfriend?
Himself is looking after me as I am clutzy and the kitties are good. Himself good. How are you?
I'm well thank you. Almost the end of the cricket season. Just two more matches (weather permitting) and then I go into housework mode for the winter.
o
I would rather watch the cricket than housework
Me too. But if I don't do it I haven't anyone else to do it for me! Needs must.
I say hire a kid to do it (apparently they accept cheap payments)
there's a sighn on my fridge... "DULL WOMEN HAVE IMMACULATE HOMES"
I like that Kate
i refuse to let house work rule my life.
I have a fairly clean house.
fireworks
other than the room with all the stuff that you can't close the door on? HEHEHE
Yah Just
That room doesn't exist. THat is mostly his crap
yay freep! wasn't that bad then after all? congratulatioins!
there are a few words I would say are unfairly rare. but in general, not so bad
unfairly rare you say?...litle blighters...
wouldn'y be a grid if there weren't a few elusive ones
any clues on the rarities?
I am not even looking again. I am thinking of nana nap
have a rest herin, take care of your cold. i'll be signing off soon
Couch is comfy thank goodness
i hear my bed calling me..and i'm not finished eating yet
I feel like coco pops
you don't look like cocoapops
ahah
is that your comfort food, or too lazy to cook dfood?
the rarities. there's a ti6/7 combo that I don't think I'd ever seen. Sounds almost dirty... or like a bird?
btw, there are two ti6/7 combos. if you hit the clues, it's the first one.
thanks freep, i'll take a look for it...
1st ones are nasties, okay,
and an re6 that sounds like a small umpire (plural = re7)
freep, do you have a clue for the very first re please?
never mind; got it, fireworks, yahoo and toodle pip
glad to help, gortmold :-)
gn gort congratulations
I'm heading off, too. Any clues needed in the last minute I'm here?

Good morning everyone.
morning elder
How are you Katie on this wonderful warm day .

Heavy head then :) fine here and pleased its the weekend.

elder - come up for air!!!
A quick hello to my Babble buddies. I have to see 5 kids at the children's hospital and then be in the office by 9--rush, rush.
scramble, scrabbler, scramble!!!!
I hope none of the parents are chatty during rounds--bad attitude for me, but it is a rush to get to the office by 9
Of course I could be leaving now but I need to finish my coffee
they'll just have to understand...they can talk to you after office hours if they have further questions
coffee most important
I am glad you understand, Kate
certainly on all counts
5 patients in hosp at once? outbreak or what?
LOL, I am so selfish!
All different diagnoses
why? you can't visit the kids at 5 am.. they need their sleep and so do you
I want to get back into bed--44 degrees F here
freezing here tooo 6 deg. celcius
you're colder than us?
I am on top of a big hill, in "ski country", southeast of Buffalo if you remember the area
We might have our first frost this month instead of early October. Furnace went on again overnight and is set for 55 F
been there done that uncle and aunt used to have ski chalet in ellicottville
I drove through E-ville yesterday on way to Allegany State Park for kayaking
brutal scrabs..we're in for another nasty winter i'm sure
how was yur last 4? day trip? at least no rain eh?
Alright, I must get ready and speed up to the children's hospital and hit floors 10, 8, 7 and 3.
I'd prob'ally love skiing if it weren't for the snow, the cold,and the outdoors stuff. G'd morningBabblers.
lovely, have a good one scrabs..21/2 day at office?
That trip to Keuka Lake was wonderful--beautiful area
LOL lori
Have a great day Scrabbler, I trust you're headless now? :D

Office today = 9-2:30
hi Lori!!! Last day with Dr Head = Sept 28
post some pics if you want
Tic Toc baby! Almost done.....
not too bad..still able to babble foe 8 hours or so ^_^
I had September 12th on the brain for some reason. Either way, almost over!
my uncle practices in buffalo...ENT, steven buck
scrabs headless??? what ever do you mean???or private joke?
Long story, but fortunately she will soon be Headless, and in a good way.
i see.. the gruesome evil heartless boss guy
...and his mother dresses him funny
9 left after the first sweep, I'mgood with that.
unfortunately there are many years worth in in-jokes and babbler amusements, kate!
LORIIIIIIIKINS!
Mata Hari paratrooper extraordinaire!
good grief...
*falls on lori as the parachute gives in under the weight*
hi ata...slowly getting a clue. doesn't happen over night though.
oh no! that's what I'm saying really, and some things are just lost in the dawn of history anyway lol
did you do your jump ata?...i must have missed the excitement. how was it?
"Says 'Uncle' and asks Ata to get up quickly,if I managed to break her fall safely.***

*jumps back up* *looks around for needed brandy*

***yells for brandy laden Saint Bernard***

Better than a chihuahuahuahua (like bananananana,never know when to stop)
Any clues please for st 8/55
do you like a lot of drool in your brandy lori?
st 8, ones who keep the quiet
we'd need Oscar for the drool factor

Oscar should have a wee bucket attached to the collar....
who does oscar own?
Oh, and g'd morning gran. Did ya' get it?
he should, most of the water troughs on Sark are half water, half Os drool I think

So, did Liz go toPeruto getaway from those pesky customers?
Yes got it and finished!
Congratulations gran!

what number of shed cats do you have at the moment, lori?
Ho ho, sneaky little re 6/7. r's done
no, no feral population. they just meander and seem to live staying out for a while and hunting and then meandering back again
Ata, about 9..... ***loopy old cat lady?*** :)
still looking for that 6,7
yay for the shed cats!
anagram of touch
ty
There's a double pawed grey tiger, that is absolutely gorgeous. It almost won Uni over.:) But, Emma reigned supreme

*goes to llok up archie bunker*
All in the Family Ata, Carol O'Conner(sp?) American TV classic
ata, what archie always said to Edith when he wanted her to be quiet
His character was sooooo prejudice.
the worst racist ever
well, I learned a new bit of Americana today :)
It was a groundbreaking show for the time.

Ooh! Now THAT sounds like a good day!

Laters Ata.
bye ata! take care and have a great day
give my love to Uni adn the CoG!
find me a nice fossil
Fossils?!?!?!?! My oldest would pass out!
from excitement or boredom?
Excitement! He is a future palentologist!
as i wanted to be
just looked back on clues, bonk that was a great clue for the st8
very fond of all things ancient
*still just about here* does he like maths?
hello all
morning sue
*is a palaeontologist for my sins*
hi sue, how is your little one today?
He is only 6, so I am not too sure about math yet! We shall see...
wishes i could atone for my sins through paleontology...
lol tell him to be good at maths and biology :P
I will!
didn't think maths would be so important ata..
He finds rocks and sticks and calls them his "fossils" and makes up stories/history for the "dinosaur" they came from!
very, for most branches of palaeo
wonderful imagination!
And of course...he LOVES to dig!
lol a lot of palaeo people wo't ever go near a proper fossil dig
We have a new show here on Public Television called "Dinosaur Train". It is very good and has a lot of actual dino facts!
I know Ata! There are so many aspects to the science!
how does he feel about cleaning the school yard with a tooth brush though? about the same
ahhh, the baby moles where born....my cats are bringing me a dead one each day, yuck. and nobody tell me that shows me how much they love me.
Icky Sue!
It IS nice to be loved though!
lol
someone I did my PhD with didnt look at a single fossil for 3 years. I had to tell what trilobitesactually looked like "in the flesh" when he had been working with trilo data for years
where are you car? we get pbs buffalo here..no dino train
Boston.
Trilobites...from the ocean?
I would wake Zach up and ask him..but my darling boy is sick today with a fever and sore throat, so I shall let him sleep!
something not quite right about that? trilobites are soo common..anyone knows them
oh yes, but have most ppl ever actually seen most of theescrewed up trilo fossils? most don't look beautiful
boston..the other really good pbs station..
They are referred to on most of the documentaries on PBS/History/Discovery...how did this person miss them?
I keep typing shelter
My phantom today: stealth
True Ata!
I have to let my neighbors dog out, bbs
have a bunch at my mothers i found as a kid
I often wonder...how do the scientists/palentologists KNOW they got the information/data right?
cos we are brilliant lol
That goes without saying ATA!
and really, because everyone works on the theory of only discussing what we are really quite sure about. anything else goes down the bottom o the papers as guesses
then people like Nat Geo read the papers and turn the guesses into Facts
and then everyone thinks we know these things
heffa is too a word, That kid is a Heffa
someone has to
LOL
But what if the original guesses that were turned into facts were incorrect?
LOL Sue!
it usually happens
happens all the time..they revise
every 10 or so years everything gets shaken up
but remember that the guesses only ever remain as guesses in the science world
so it's only the TV channels that do major revisions!
I have the same questions about space.
they are car. dont you remember someone said they had a bone from like 3000 years ago, and it turned out to be a dog bone from 50 years
not too long ago they thought all the sauropods dragged their tails around on the ground...now they know they were supporteed in the air...all the world's museums had to re do their skeletons
I just find the whole palentology/dinosaur/science world so fascinating!
t-rex and raptors too
and to be really honest, a lot of scientists work on gut instincts. things that feel right. things that when you think of them make you stop and just feel that bit more correct
See, but I am not sold on radiocarbon dating. Those numbers are just too big for me!
then you find the facts to go around them
Anyone have the point totalplease?
radiocarbon is ok. not hugely accurate, but ok
better dating methods now
The Museum of Science in Boston used to have this T-rex model and it was a "big" deal. It is now used to mark the spot where the Duck Tour bus comes outside of the museum! The updated T-rex model is almost 3 stories tall!
well, it depends on timescale, kate
1534 lori
anyway rly must poof now!
Thank you for the conversation Ata!
I hope you have a wonderful day...and please let me know if you find anything!
bye ata..you come and go so quickly
how things change eh car?
Truly! But again...I question the theories sometimes! But I certainly don't know any better, so i roll with it!
Mercy Buckets
you are entitled to question any theory you want. that is the basic tenet of sciencde..it has to swtand up to scrutiny and bear out the proposed theory
typos
No worries Kate!
But sometimes I just think...What if Einstein was wrong? How many theories have now been built off his theories....and then it just goes from there!
however, as much as I enjoy and find science fascinating, I am not blessed with a scientific mind...just curiosity!
our understanding of dinos is growing hugely very quickly. wasn't long ago that it was thought that they laid eggs and left..now know they were"good parents' caring for young in family groups- mom and dad for the meat eaters..herds for the veggies
i know! amazing!
they're still working on einstein..he was working on the problems right up to the end...still need a grand unifying theory...the thheory of everything. still
We did get to go see the Walking With Dinosaurs show when it was in Boston...simply AMAZING!
that's what i love about the sciences..they're not static..always evolving, changing very dynamic!
it was fantastic wasn't it? it was up here for a long time. just ffascinating!
you must have some really good museums down your way,
Yes we do! There is actually 2 dinosaur fossil/parks in connecticut which we are planning to take weekend visits to!
ok, back
And if we ever get the chance to take a vacation for real...off to the badlands we go!
wb sue
I actually wanted to be an astronaut...but again...not a science minded person...and I suffer from horrible vertigo, so that is out!
want to go to the badlands and dig dinos for life!!!! jealous of BR cause he's out there..someone else is from n/ dak as well, but noit into dinos
but you are tenascious (sp) that count for a ot
counts for a lot..otherwise you couldn't play babble
But so not cool to throw up and stagger about on your first day at astronaut school!
Oh! I am just here for the food and drinks in the PB!
astrocar...has a certain ring to it...i always wanter to dig dinos
I would be very happy to dig for dinos as well!
I just realized...I am cuddled up in bed with my sick little boy and 3 sleeping kitties!
well toddle off and help yourself car, i haven't taken down the choclit buffeet for dee and fmmitch's b-days..menu in profile
car you always finish ! and well ahead of me i might add
what an angelic sight... al cozy and warm?
Not true! Plenty of days I start and not finish....wait you mean the grid right? I always finish the chocolate!
Also have a Phineas & Ferb marathon on the TV...so life is good!
when you get a bit of free time we can go dig..dakotas or alberta...lots of good stuff there...and the u>k> actually has quite a lot too, though you don't hear of it..some wonderful if small museums with all the locla stuff
Sounds great!
choclit must be finished it is a law of nature and babble
:-)
I am down to 29 but I think I will have to list!
I hate ae words
can I have a clue pls
and aussie has some fantastic stuff....would love s/america but things are a litle too uncertain there for my liking, and i have no spanish of portuegese

knitting is an art that is getting lost- be proud!
bye al
I am teaching my older grandaughters to knit and taught d i l a couple of years ago
Jai, similar thing happened to my husband. Several of the metal sutures (sp) traveled around inside of him and showed up years later in another area and had to be removed. He just had a spot removed and last week the incision was healling nicely. But as of last night he has a suspicious area that has now opened up and I'm afraid will have to be redone.
bye bye aloy
fe5?
Nonnie, i love your icon
thank you sue!
Yep. I can relate, Nonnie!
That is great, Andree!
fe5 please?
I it a thing?
I had no luck teaching my own daughter when she was growing up, tried and tried, she can't even sew on a button,am sure its because she knows i will do it
A fish part- adjective describing many flippers
fowel to ee5/16 to fall in a f**** change first v
lol Andree--how do you have your "students" :o) start? I learned late in life (last year) and we were shown to knit in the round first. Our teacher gave us bulky yarn and large needles.
that came out strangely
fe5/16 sounds like to fall down in a fa***
my D I L with large needles and bulky as she only wanted to make scarves[ she knows i will knit for her kids] but am teaching grandchildren properly
a pass in fencing is called a fe5- pl for fe6- rhymes with paint
I just took up crocheting again... and I admit I am a little obsessed.
I enjoyed knitting in the round but really liked when I learned with regular needles and then double points. I found I could do so much more!
I can relate, mom :o)
I am going to the store today.... might pick up some knitting needles.. used to do that, too... just don't remember how, LOL....
So far I have made a hat, a basket, and a scarf. Am working on a poncho and an afghan right now.
the only time i have ever used round needles is for the neck
But I found a knitted pattern for a nice, heavy poncho that I really liked... so I want to see if I can manage it.
The scarf I made was really cool.. kind of spiral-y. I really like it.
I am working on an afghan too mom, get side tracked with the vest i am knitting so am never bored, i never watch t v without my computer in my lap or my wool and needles
I hear ya... I feel like I more listen to tv, rather than watch it... It also helps with not eating at night
Same here and if I know I'm going somewhere and I'll have a wait, like the doctor's office, I take my knitting bag so I can entertain myself.
and i always take mine when babysitting
yeah... I hear ya... years ago when I crocheted and worked in the city I used to get a lot done on the bus
OMG... my teenager loves to act helpless.... she wants hot cocoa and is lazy... so she is trying to get me to make it by buttering me up... telling me I make it better than she can... not buying into that one this morning, LOL.
I've found that it is a conversation started too. People are naturally curious and like to ask what I'm working on.
bedtime for me, bye for now
good night andree...sweet dreams
bye Andree... nice chatting with you.
gn andree, sleep well
I found this nice pattern for an afghan that calls for octagons and small squares... five different colors... so I made several octagons last night... went pretty quickly.
Sounds pretty, mom
OK... now she has made the cocoa, but I NEED to bring it to her, as she cannot possibly walk with it for 20 feet without spilling it... LOL!
We shall see... I had some cream yarn, so I did them in cream... now I have to find 4 more colors at the yarn store today...
I like those kinds of things because they are more portable... you can throw a small amount of yarn and a needle into a ziploc and stash it in your bag... work on it while waiting for things...
True and I need simple ones to cart around--ones where I don't have to do a lot of counting otherwise I'll mess it up for sure.
what time is it in england now?
yes... these are fairly simple octagons and squares.
2:34
It is 7 hours ahead of NYC, isn't it?
hi ruru
25 to 3 in the afternoon ruru
OK... 6 hourse, LOL!
Forgot about daylight savings time.
thank you Fm.. early to bed for andree I guess
nut shure which time zone in Aus she is in. Afternoon all, just hapened to be passing and couldn't help but pop in to say Hi.
hello FM
oh she's in austrailia..
I didn't look closely enough at her flag
lol ruru are you awake?
Aussies are 15hours ahead of CDT here in USA
not yet..
*blinks*
so it's about 1 AM there
not gone yet, just thought for nonnie and mom of what i started the kids off with
*leaves a pot of coffee on the table* TTFN :)
8 ply wool, 4mm needles
no, 8+ 15 is 23- that means it is 11 pm there
toodles FM
cast on 2 stitches and increase a stitch at beg. of each row until you have 64 stitches
then cast off a stitch at beg. of each row till 2 stitches left and cast off
gives a nice diamond shape for rugs
Gotta run...take care all.
i hope nonnie and mom are getting this hate to think ruru thinks i am teaching him to knit
ruru has secret desire to knit
lol kate, now i really am going to bed
must go to bed now folks, suddenly got vry sleepy..good night / day all ***poof***
gn andree
bye Kate!
Thanks Andree... I got it!
I was away for a few minutes... but I know diamonds are much easier/cleaner to do in knitting than crocheting...
Mom, are we the only ones here?
maybe
The knitting/crocheting chog has stopped... so I guess nonnie and andree left.
<whispers secret gossip to mom2>
Ohhh... and just when I swore off of gossiping... LOL!

Hey inge -- I'm near Saginaw...
The Circe institute huh? Cool
Circe is an entizer in mythology, I doubt that co. used that
no, it is Church in Latin
yeah..they mythology thing....lol...love to see who gets that. :)
that is were they where coming from
sorry my sister called to tell me she is sick with the flu

Guten Morgne, crossy. Got your sweater on?
oh you got the oinker flu red??
well it is 65 here and I am cold
indeed inge
its 10c here
so how about that fe5, after the 4-5 combo
did you get a shot already? I didn't think they were available yet
Most likely, but, I've been sick for almost a week, so it should stop soon. No shots. Not available till October.
our shots are sposed to be avail in november
I think I am earlier because I am health care worker...
would explain it
what it won't take sn4ty? I feel like making a sn4ty comment
well good to get it over with then
Agree with jmc on her sn comment, it should take it.
I clued the first fe 5, the second is a plural
did I tell you how most of the women at my son's college got the flu?
Babble is the land of sn4ty comments
it wont take a st 8/29 either and it should
How?
it has a st 8/28 and there is a 9 off of that or should be
during rush week the president of a sorority considered herself indispensable and so infected all of the women
7/28*
st 8 is a plural
my son says the classes are all half empty
good job there...
what does your hypothetical st8 buildon crossy?
k..must be lack of tea.... i have a 7/28
st 7/28=theivery
hmm I see what you mean there should be a plural
indeed
thought it was just me;0
someone should make a sn4ty comment about that too!
lol
all out of the sn4 comments...
but the s is already at the beginning of the word'\
aler
inge of course is corret;/
sure, bring logic into it inge! lol
sorry, back to bed for me...
:///
damn that logic!
feel better red
My husband would not agree with you. He thinsk I am totally illogical
i was using the same s twice so i wont say a thing against your logical babble brain inge;/
another good thing about chat room: you cannot catch the flu here
well you were the logical one here!

rof
rofl
i pray next 4 years go smooth whith mine
morning everyone. How are you doing today; and how is the grid (not that it will help to know; I've already bit into it!)
thanks to inge it is pretty good so far
I doubt they will go smooth -- and too smooth is probably not good -- so I will pray that you all come out better on the other side
a little tricky for me nef but you should cruise right through
inge got crossy and me off to a good start though
lol my boy and the new gf were talking on the phone last night and seems her parents and us yelled "no babies" at the exact same time!!
lol good advice
I remember teh shock i felt the first time I found a condom in my house!
please dont...
but then I thought -- Thank God! He is using protection.
Good morning all. I thought I could finish without asking for a clue. I need le4/5 adn also re6/27 I have one but I am missing the one before the re7/40, please?
rest of my hair will go grey
there is that jm
nothing worse than a child doing what you did yourself! lol
maybe i should just put a box of condoms in the cupboard and say nothing
sorry marc I am not there yet
not a bad idea -- make sure it is open so he doesn't have to open it to sneak one
good point jm
maybe ill just staple one to his forehead
recently my son was telling me about how he snuck and watered down my liquor except the bourbon because he knew I would notice that!
lol! staple one to his lunch bag every day!! lol
bbs
i did that as a teen jm
bye nef
I didn't but my dad only drank beer
never water down a drinkers main staple
le4/5 and re6,7/40, please
no if you staple it to his lunch bag you will only embarrass him
me and jack are like you and bacon
lol! shuffle just coughed up neil diamonds "forver in blue jeans" ;))
sorry marc I don't have them
or like me and a good vodka
its good your son has you around crossy -- my son and I did it on our own and it was definitely rough
flash back to neils 4 record album "hot august night"
tell Mrs. Crossy to give you an extra hug!
yes must be hard single parent,wife and i thank god every day we are still in love and married
you are lucky
brb she is sleeping but i need to give her a kiss...
there are some pluses to being single parent too
you don't have to take anyone else's opinion into account
le4/5 = le + common abbr for personnel dept + plural
you don't have to share the very few minutes the kid will spare to be with a parent with anyone else

Thank you everyone who puts recipes on their profiles. Never fails to be yummy. and I do like to try a new recipe every few weeks. Have a great weekend everyone.....
hi and bye christa
The "TE" family: te+ ** Gore; te+ up in the air train; what you chew with te***; add a vowel (babies do this and get fussy); add a consonant to that and you have one who IS getting te***- te&; plural of te7 is many babies all getting te*** te8. Hope this will help!
it helped me alot-thanks!
hi jai - what does the other 8 start with, do you have it?
st
st8/55
ty BR and scribe
it is plural of st6 & 7 combo
okay
what Archie Bunker used to say to Edith
no problem - I found it. :-)
but ty
Now let's knock off the rest of the TE's: te+ Abb. for famous CA city te** Te4; add a vowel to that word te5; beginning of formal word for phone te** te4; te*l a story+ ***ocious lion te 6; te 7 plural of te 6; te4 a bird- sounds like teacher tellingkids to "Take your Tu**: plural for te5; te+ **e End another TE4; add ending to that for te6- you get a type of tied rope; plural that for te 7; go back to the te4 just above and plural it for te5; te+ abb for swear phrase tough sh**- you get te 4; and that is all the te's. Hope you can get them all!
Did these help?
ty jai :)
they filled in my gaps in the te's

truck race is coming on...that will dominate the tv
i am not fond of any of the mechanized racing, I dunno why.
cuz it's boring...all they do is drive in a circle or oval
the only exciting thing is when they crash
Ok so I admit it, thats why. I am sure it takes talent and skill but it just is not that exciting to me.
me either, but the hubby likes it
Ahhh.

Nope, I am down to 30 with no list yet, seems doable.
i'm at 30, but listed a few mins ago
stuck on the te6/27-7/40

ty pini for the FIREWORKS!!!
wtg jilli!!!!
Now can I help with clues?
This was a nice grid for a change.
I have 25 more to go and another hour or two of babysitting...
I could probably use a few ... like the other 8
I have the hold-backers
how about the dentals? te8?45
te8/45, that is
that's it, jilli...thx!
yvw :)
that gave me 3 words! :)
there are 4 related
is the 2nd te4/4 a fish? I think I've tried everything...
te4vision
secpmd pme has double vowel
hey br (have that one)
guten haben (sp) inge
Bon sour, Pini

Hi Pini, Jili, Inge,BabbleRabble, and Lurkers.
how's everyone doing today?
just fell off the page. NOw I am back
Oooh Inge - did you hurt yourself?
wb inge
not this time. Have bandage handy
soodle, are you just starting?
help with the last 2 te7's plz/thx?
nm...got the last one
both te7s are pls of course.
add an h to the other
Yup, Inge - just after diving in.
te6 & 7 -- t + sprite + hesitation and pl
the one 6/7 combo after the TV?
Busy day today. Gave into the kids, and went into a pet shop (against my better judgement). Walked out with a beautiful Budgie...who has been named Babble!!!
This morning I was cluing Crossy and another babbler Gave the advice that there are at least 15 words with th in the middle. It helped
* looking jilli *
pini, that's the one I just clued
that's the clue I'm working on, jilli...our comments just crossed ;)
I'll try another clue *thinking*
got 'em! thx
oh good!
yet another creature to add to the menagerie in this house. but Babble is as cute as a button - the kids are already trying to teach him to say swear words!!!
now, that's a die-hard game fan when you can name your pet, "Babble"!!! :-)
I have a tall circular cage you can have, soodle. My finches all died
The budgie brings the tally to : 3 dogs, 4 cats, 1 Vietnamese Pot-bellied Pig (porky spice), one ferret and now a budgie. Is it any wonder I am demented?
lol
I guess you were demented before you collected the menagerie! :D
do you charge admission to your zoo?
Thanks, Inge, but we bought a cage. Anyway, the postage would probably be more than what I paid! Entrance to the zoo is free - but, you my just catch the dementia by being here!! I don't have public liability insurance!! At your own risk!!
My childhood cartoon-watching is catching up on me.... I keep hearing Tweety-Pie saying 'I tawt i taw a puddy-tat'........as I watch the cats inspecting the bird cage...........
I will donate it to a school, I think. Gave some aquariums already
Good plan, Inge.
If nobody needs clues, I have other things to do . . .
first ti6? fish?
I remember "Sylvester" -- no way to write how that was pronounced.
Thanks Jili, but I have just started. You enjoy you 'other things'.
Our finches always had flight freedom, ergo no cats so far. But daughter is coming home from Vegas with three cats in a few months
ti6 -- Cockney slang for hat
and pl for the 7
need help with that clue?
As I babble, my 14 yr old is repeating swear words to the budgie. O M G!! :)
yeah, I'm not too familiar with cockney
apple vinegar spray will eliminate that, soodle ;)
a touch of tobasco should terminate it all together! :)
when you get even with someone you might call it t** *** tat. change vowel in second syllable
- I have no idea how to explain Cockney to you.
ti6 - tat (rhyming slang) --- boob + plant minus last letter
hmmm...I think I have internet connection deficit...
can y'all see me now?
yes!
yes, loud and clear
and jilli...I monkeyed that ti6/7 ;)
thx all for the hints
you mean you didn't need my rude clue? :(
8 more to go
gogogo pini!!!
well, ALL clues are useful, jilli! LOL
4
And the rocket's red glare...the bombs bursting in air...gave proof through the night that trader was still there....!
Oooh lucky you Pini. I am going to concentrate on the grid now - and ignore the chat. And the 14 yr old screeching swear words at the budgie. God help me!
wow!
hello all ye babblers!

Stid, if the land-lubbers aint brought you treasures from the Emerald Isle,they shall be keel-hauled!

ARRRR. avast! methinks they shipped their treasures home by the Northwest passage, mate....
how about plural of what Archie used to say to his wife
babble went through a pirate stage about a year ago. Renfield and Evananut were the leaders
archie? generational gap appears at me toes...
not quite plural of what a person like Archie was?
archie bunker from all in the family
stid, st6/27 is the knee of a dog or horse, plus "to suppress", rhymes with a gun. The S you want grows out of that.
GOT IT!!!!!! thanks jill and jmc!
Avast. May their treasures be plenty!!!
what do you do with a drunken sailor?, what do you so with a drunken sailor?, what do you do with a drunken sailor?, EARLIE IN THE MORNING?.....

Yo ho ho
I already sang that, TK ;)
ich ich ich keep the bottle trader
the horror the horror soodles
oh dear
A scupper is an opening in the side walls of an open-air structure, for purposes of draining water. They are usually placed at or near ground level, and allow rain or liquids to flow off of the side of the open-air structure, instead of pooling within the walls. There are two main kinds of scupper: 1. Sailing ships would have scuppers at deck level, to allow for ocean or rainwater drainoff 2. Buildings with railed rooftops can construct scuppers to let rainwater drain off, instead of pooling within the railing of the roof. Scuppers can also be placed in a parapet, for the same purpose. The transitive verb "to scupper" (British) means to overwhelm or destroy.
put him in the scuppers with a hose pipe on him Earlye in the morning!
now that is resolved!
I think I have been scuppered
Yo ho, and up she rises....
I think that is my lunch that is rising up. . .
Well, I will leaven you kids and withdraw to the parlor now

but jmc, I hadn't heard about that
what's your source, jmc?
you are right jmc on that. I am not well-versed in Iraq politics to know if that is good or not.
Bill C-440, a bill in support of US Iraq War resisters, was introduced in the House of Commons today. MP Gerard Kennedy (Parkdale-High Park) introduced the bill, seconded by Bill Siksay (Burnaby-Douglas).
hey Kate, are you writing?
I am on a lot lists connected with this issue
got it from some Friends in canada who are supporting the resisters
It is way more complicated than Vietnam resisters.
I am not lobbying here just passing on information -- the babble crowd has many different view points
but pretty much everyone knows what I do so no one could be surprised by my passing on this information
wow, I just scrolled down and the converstion suddenly got Very Serious since I came on. sorry.
well it is an improvement to the pirate talk!
are you trying to give up smoking saan?
haar?
NO
I hadn't heard any news yet today
I am always happy to spend the day without listening to the news
Why am I looking for words in the grid when I've already finished?
my son was out racing his car today
habit jill!
it was a short grid and your eyes feel cheated!
I've found that not being a news juky for a few days gets me a better sleep...
*junky
the interesting thing is that if it is really really important some one will always mention it
no, jmc, I was glad I could do this one Quite easily at last!
congrats Jilli! Me too. Just trying to catch up with friends for a while.
boy I haven't jill!
sorry saan popped out to water some plants...back now..writing what?
you are both done?
oui
aaarrghh, me hearties, aye, tis talk like a pirate day once again, ho ho!
*sulks*
its talk like a cockney german pirate day here
oh jmc! don't sulk! It does no siut you!
bring it on, jmc!
jmc...the last dodgers did us proud...bring 'em on! the bill will die in house there will be an election before it can pass...lots of political posturing and positioning going on now...still didn't see anything on the news about it though
no it doesn't does it saan! I laugh more than that!
Rats... I liked Gerard Kennedy!
Kate how are you?
I put the TV on at 5 pm for local news and then carry on through the evening with things like Jeopardy, Coronation Street, Rachel Maddow (delicious commentary and US news), some PBS things, news again at 11 pm, Jon Stewart and Steve Colbert.....
I am not good at the cockner german pirate talk JB
Let me take that back! I like him!!!!! (I didn't read the whole thing)
Hi, TKate! jili, jmc, godthaab, saan!
feel free to tell him so gad
vey well saan ..and you ewhat's this about quitting smoking? did your mother raise you to be a quitter??? tetete
I like using jon stewart as a news source like my staff does
hello JB love your icon!
I misunderstood something saan said
the queen is being crowned on pbs now jil
One night (last year? 2 years ago?) it was a major mutiny on the bounty, with all the conversation in pirate speak
in buffalo that is wned tv
it was here earlier too JB
TK, it's not 5 pm here yet, lol!
gothab - why disappointed? i think gerard is the cat's meow!
ty, saan, it's on permanent loan from jellen
I quit every five years for five years and and in between. My doctor is so pissed that my lungs are clear as a non-smokers!
JB, that is a clever icon -- Cat9x also uses it :)
saan, tell Dr. him/her that you are genetically gifted!
not all pbs runs the same stuff though..the buffalo station caters to the canadian crowd a lot more than most lots of bbc and all things uk
I think I know more about US politics than Canadian [blush]
is it a hebrew letter?
TK -- ditto Seattle PBS here.
ty, jilibus, I think about changing it, but I just love how 3 simple lines represent the soul of the cat (couldn't think of a way to get it into pirate slang!)
jmc, don't know what that was. I am such a slow typist that the whole page has rolled by before I can read it.
No, TK, just a calligraphic cat
catahrrh
ah, i see it now...;-)
I agree -- keep it JB! Cat doesn't come to chat much so it's not really confusing.
I thought the queen was crowned 50+ years ago
hu all! 30 le4 here and I haven't a clue where to begin...
hi all! even...
they're running the 1953 origional film
LOL, saan, ye hit the bull's eye!
hi pav! I can clue and so can saan
hi pav
spelling?
i have a copy in kodachrome film somewhere..the old reel to reel movie film
You're 4 ahead of me, PAV!
cool trader
I think you have one h too many, saan
TK, I saw your icon on ICanHasCheezburger the other day - love it!
I really want one more word before I take a brake
neme one
got it about 20 years ago at a junk shop here in toronto...$3.00
help with the al 4/7 pls
brake = break in this case, perhaps
are you taking your brake to BrakeMasters? or just a break?...
hebrew letter plus pl
icanhascheezburger?
here's the hebrew letter, jmc -- A
Yes, you can have whatever you want, TK! <grin>
changed out the meerkats for a while...
but I'm a shicksa!
TK, have you any interest in the icon themes?
I have ef4 ei6 er4 et5 6 4,what 's missing?
light beer plus a consonant
me too, jmc, but it shows up a lot here -- alt sp too
no kids, no pets, no one puts up their facebook pic..so i chose ythis, but i do love meerkats!
It's a website, with cute/funny pictures of cats & dogs & other stuff, with funny captions that are spelled like how a cat would spell, if a cat could spell
Please don't make me type that again...
aka lolcats
got it ty saan
Yes, jili, exactly
lol JB
yeah!
my e's por favor?
okay 39 left and I am taking a break
did a couple jil...i find it confusing as a newbie trying to keep trackof people with constsantly changing icons...so i'll probably not change all the time...and it is something else that takes time...
Confession: I have lolcats as an app on my itouch, and I have saved over (this is really sad) 500 pictures that make me laugh
you are missing el5 and el6
*argh poof*
and one other...?
*sneaks back in* another er4
*poof*
TK, when I started Babble, I would look up images on Google Image search, and save the ones I liked to a file right where I knew I would remember them, to use as icons
Hello kids
Be well, jmc!
thanks jmc...
{{{Scrabbler!!}}}

I think that is the point of E&A -- it's not so much a singles meeting group as it is a way for singles to do cool stuff with other folks
they actually have some events for older singles
time to go.
bye TO
have a nice evening
bye TO
evening to
Byee TO ..
does anyojne here know who karen carter is? she is trying to friend me on facebook
geesh, I didn't realize how tired I was until I sat down to babble....split and stacked another cord of wood today, and now I am really feeling it.
aren't you ms ant all getting ready for the winter
You're a lumberjack and you're ok ..
lol jmc - it's more that I have to get the logs away from my house, which is where the felled trees were laid by the tree cutting guys
I am thinking I might sell one of the cords. Secondo wants to go on the eighth grade trip to DC, and this would help offset the cost
wait a minute and I think I can tell you
lol torg I had forgotten that!
karen Carter is a babbler and one of the first that I friended and therefore before I started keeping good track

I go to FB and click on lexulous under games
there were cows and baby pigs. chicks hatching before my very eyes -- loved it. it is far though
worth the trip

loads of crafts - ideas to "borrow" for future use LOL
I would love to go to one of the big antique shows sometime - bromfield, pittsfield....
too much yummy food
et 4/5?
I saw a brilliant sign in a craft booth once - it simply said "of course you could! Gonna?"
bromfield is jusst before it and pittsfield after
went to country fair today and ate my way through it
we ate our way thru the big e too!
et 4/5 sort of like a lisp for the letter F
crappy clue
night all!
is the lone e on the right a fish, please?
oops my word will not play- looks as if it is thinking.
lone E? on the right? do we have the same grid
sorry - lone s. Guess I am more tired than I thought! (scarlet)
An et4/5 is et plus abbreviation for secondary school
oh dont turn scarlet it will clash with your hair!

hi judi

hi judi
Lol. alibabas - I know it well. Every now and then, we take our lives in our hands and drive to Manyunk.
We live in Delaware, so we are close to Philly.
i love the names of roads back east...out here we just call them highway 2 or main street
i used to bike to M by the rver and the canal
trif you're an army brat?
lucky you
LOL dawg
no, navy, kate, and I didn't have to move so much, as I lived with my mom, and just visited my dad during the summers. he moved a ton
6
go jmc!
rock on, jmc!
We're not wild about Philly, actually. We'll go to Little Italy every now and then - or the Reading Terminal Market. Never even been to see the big cracked bell.
my dad was air force..we moved all the time...had 16 schools in14 years (k-13)..hence my somewhat more forward nature than is usual in reticent canucks..wouldn't have missed it for the world tho
awww I lived right in the heart and while i had my issues time does wonders for my nostalgia
was in sea cadets for 6 yrs...another great experience!
go jmc go!!!!!
5
I dated a navy brat in my younger days, and I always fe4 great sorrow for him. he did not enjoy the life - never knew anyone for more than 2 years, had no roots. hard life.
yay jmc
it is hard the no root thing is not good..never know what to say when asked where i was from..now say born in toronto raised all over...
3
always felt jealous of people who had life long friends.
go jmc you ROCK THE GRID!!!!

thanks to the internet rootless people can have life long friends
Gogo jmc!
TOR!
real upsides though saw a lot of the world lived in germany for three years...bonus
Judi!
not the same
And, you speak fluent German, right Kate?
some of the people who live on bases never get off and see the country
I had a friend who made a fortune importing budweiser to germany to the bases
1
around here, i could do the same with Yuengling
used to be fluent at about a 6/7th grade level..went to german school my last 2 years there..but have lost most of it through the use it or lose it principle..sadly..
go jmc go@
break out the confetti...
we almost always lived off base
Eeech. Surrounded by all that great German beer and our troops wanted Budweiser? There's no accounting for taste.
rolling out the grog
yeah but to Germany???
where they make beer???
go jmc go!!!!
where they celebrate beer?
LOL judi
that's like taking Lancers to France
young fellas probably didn't know what real beer tasted like.
Actually - Budweiser is now owned by Belgians!
eeewwww jmc eeewwww
Even better beer!
they own everything now imbev isn't it?
they got a olot of our canadian ones too
well belgian beer is very chic with the young guys
but I am not that fond of it myself
Sigh. I suppose. I remember touring the Budweiser factory one year when we went to Busch Gardens in Florida. Saw the Cleidsdales n everything!
sorry, americans don't know what real beer tastes like unless they buy imported...3% beer..what's that..dishwater?
not a beer drinker, just can't stand the taste before or after.
the clyesdales are cool
that would have been something to see judi
jmc, have you finished yet?
I have loved it since I was 3
Some of us yanks do have more educated tastebuds, Kate. I hate most American beers.
jmc still one to go?
no note yet still looking for the first re
beer or horses?
Thanks for correcting my horse spelling.
beer
i need a refill on my wine
micro brews are big here now, and of course all the canadian beer.
re + I just ***l off my chair
I do make exceptions for micro-breweries, though.
whoo hoo me!

sorry being a snobby jingoistic canadian...will return to more sufferable mode
(got tired of waiting?)

YAY, JMC!!!!!!!

huzzah for jmc!!!
Just trying to help ..
Yay jmc!
wtg jmc
NOT tired at all jmc,...breathless with anticipation
lol lbd
micros are really popular here too..vry tres chic and hip0
I buy a lot of local beers
i still don't like the taste of them. too much hops or something.
I used to buy rolling rock but miller bought it out
show of hands all of you who have a friend you regularly keep in touch with that you have known since grade school? anyone?
I'm fond of some Rogue beers. Try not to drink too much beer. Makes me fat.
nope, i have a friend from college tho, that's over 30 years of friendship
belgian blonde beer is gaining quite a following here
dsummer thing maybe?
no I finally lost touch with grade school friends
I keep in touch with HS friends though
didn't have that many hs friends. i know two of them are dead from hard living.
sounds about right , most lasting friendships are made in late teens/early 20's from what i have noticed
several of mine are dead too
ouch dawg, that's rough
been burying friends since grade school
tough neighborhood, and VietNam took a few others.
am still in touch with a few from grade school days...lived near my grandparents' house hence contact wasn't lost because they were settled..not really friendly though out=grew them
That's sad you guys. As far as I know, only two people I graduated HS with have died. One girl was a very good friend. I graduated 27 years ago. Damn. I'm old.
yeah I have a few HS friends on the wall
I graduated 40 years ago lol
still in a rough neighbourhood daewg? mine could be characterized as colourful to saythe least
so Im older! ;-)
yeah my HS graduating class of 350 only 50 went to college when that would keep you out of the draft
sorry about that judi, it's always hard to bury the really yuoung ones
JMC is a few years older than me! whoo hoo!
hand me a cane!
My dad still lives in the same house I grew up in. the neighborhood has changed, getting yuppified.

Have a good day Robby
hardee har robbie, until next sept. 17th then..and don't let those ankle-biters rule you youare a feared pirate after all
robbie is leaving us unguarded!
wow you are a mchine angel..you were just editing yesterday ...
we have nothing to fear but fear itself... pirateds expire at midnight
heh..Kate, I've been editing for most of the past two months.
by robbie
you said you were publishing on amazon.com angel?
and now it is finished!!!! how will you celebrate?
I declared yesterday the last day I would be adding any content to the book, except for graphics, which were added today.
more clues ali ?
OH I got to hold a real bird yesterday and it sat on my shoulder. I was a real pirate for a moment. Angel have you looked at lulu.com for publishing
yes, I'm going to publish on Amazon,
celebrate? before or after I collapse from exhaustion? :)
after of course, you'll need your strethht
I looked at Lulu, but they seem a little more expensive.
^_^
Angel I didn;t know that. Best wishes hun
does no one send gaeys to a brick and mortar publisher anymore?
galleys
I really hadn't thought of how to celebrate. I'll be shocked speechless if the book sells!
well looks like a few around here seemed inteested :-)
it isn't easy to get in the door with brick and mortar publishers.
the old catch 22? no name , so can't get published..can't get published, so no name?
what did you write about angel
Angel you will have to give us a link when you sort it all out
It was great fun to write. I used to be in the chog all the time with my latest organizing ideas...kje knows! so, I decided to just write it all down...and now I have a manuscript. It's on organizing, personal finance and frugality.
I will. actually, ch1212 was the one who convinced me to really write it...she was frantic...she said she wanted a book she could HOLD.
cool I love books like that. one of my favorites is by the woman on pbs..i forget her name now..juilie morgenstern?
must tend to food, bbs
Good Angel. The women that did 4 ingredients book now sell a lot
correct, Kate. I hate that Catch-22!
I especially like frugality tips. I am getting real cheap iin my old age. I made my own shampoo today.
ali, you would really like my book, then. I have all sorts of Make Your Own tips
Cool! What do you make yourself?
I go to play with my boyfriend for a while. Talk to you later.....
by jade
Angel I would love to look at it. Enjoy Jade. I may run off I seem to be drooling and looking at nothing
I will put a link in my profile when it's ready to be purchased.
YAH Angel that would be awesome
I make many of my own recipes; I make salsa, and homemade bread, and I make my own household cleaner.
I haven't spent a dime on commerical cleaners in two years.
I live among many diy'ers and I learned how to make soap (from lye) over the years.
I tried bread but it got to be a hassle.
I make my own laundry detergent also
lalundry det?
and I know how to fold a fitted sheet as flat as it is when it comes out of the packaging
ooh...that is on my todo list. I have all the ingredients. Just need to do it.
wow..is your name Martha?
oooh that i can do...but i have been called ocd for that..sigh no one understands me
I made bread and soup today for dinner. And, I keep a container of bread mix that I put together myself in the freezer so it will be very quick to use next time I need bread
Some of the girls were stunned that I made my own Damper as I ran out of bread and money
no, I am not Martha :) I'm just me.
what is damper
damper? please translate herin
where are you ali?
making your own laundry det saves lots of money.
I am in michigan
but how?
my interest in organizing and frugality/saving money began just before we bought our house in 2007.
detroit?
we grow a garden and just put in some lavender plants and r considering extracting the oil
tk..no west michigan
laundry det = borax, castille soap, washing soda
Kate, the ingredients in homemade laundry detergent are very inexpensive. You pay mostly for advertizing when you buy it in the stores. and it really is mostly water.
Sorry Damper is like bread
if you do a search online for laundry det you'll find lots of recipes..or check out Angels book
ali, I even have a US phone number in the book for ordering washing soda
Its flour and water mostly
ok..now I am impressed. it is hard for people to find some of these ingredients
I never use chlorine bleach any more, either.
my homemade cleaner is amazingly versatile and very eco-friendly.
I have links for all kinds of helpful tips and information, too. about half the book is a resource list.
can't remember the last time i saw borax on the shelf in a store..like laundry blueing(for whites) it has gone the way of the donosaur here
Well i tried the no 'poo' shampoo today on my daughter. water and baking soda and then rinse with vinegar and water and some lavender oil for smell
I just bought blueing!
I buy borax all the time locally.
washing soda = baking soda? know it can be used to treat stains
you have to search tk but its there
baking soda and washing soda are not the same, Kate
washing soda doesn't = equal baking soda
washing soda doesn't = equal baking soda
I can even make my own dishwasher detergent.
baking soda can also be used to boost your regular detergent and destinkify clothes
I have not tried that angel
oh my..too much info for my tired little brain to absorb...must tend to food again..bbs
when I go to the market I don't buy much there anymore
herin still here?
ali, have you ever burned anything in a pan on the stove when you cook? I know how to get all of the burned on gunk/stains out of a scorched pot.
so do I. :)
yes I am here
you're preaching to the choir here angel. I have friends that make ketchup!
I don't ever buy fabric softener any more, either. and I use fabric softener sheets for lots of things...but never in the dryer.
Angel i use bi carb and vinegar
I wonder what percentage of supermarkets now are processed foods. We don't buy much of that anymore
:) herin
a lot is processed. that's why people have so many illnesses and allergies
ohhhhhhhhhhh don't start talking illness and allergies! I have a brainful of that.
so, I do a lot myself. it's cheaper and tastes lots better.
We started doing raw goats milk but decided I am not going to chance the ecoli bit.
entire aisle devoted to crisps/chips and the like...what a sad commentary on our shopping habits and western culture in general....instant gratification in a bag....sigh
I agree tk. although i must admit it is tempting for me, especially passing the donut area!
love sweets, don't get me wrong , but am never in that aisle at all
if only instant gratification wasn't such a killer!
there is an entire generation that thinks cooking is taking something out of the freezer and zapping it in a microwave oven.
I'm off to bed...see you tomorrow.
just got a new korean bakeshop here.. lots of sweet breads made into buns with really nice fillings..unless you had to have choclit, you'd never eat another donut again, at least not from a groc. store...don't you get your fix at dunkin's anyway????
point well made angel. gn
loves Angel
herin loves everyone
A lot of my food comes out of the freezer and is dinged in the MIcrowave. Difference is I make it then freeze it
Trader
herin
pounce!!!!!
arrr its on me.
LOL
bye angel
sorry my connection was going goofy on me
i do the same herin, cook then freeze... it's just sooooo much easier
Well, babblers. I am off for now too! nite. Maybe I'll see you at the flip.
I love cooking but classes make it a bit difficult
mine went wierd for a minute then cleared up. does anyone else have problem with cursor that does a little vibrating-jumping thing...and it looks more like a domino than a cursor?...little rectangle ewith a few dots on it...

no problem, min...I owe you!!! big time!
Oh, I wouldn't worry about it too much, TK...it's taken me almost forever just to keep a general idea of babblers' whereabouts!

CONGRATULATIONS MINVERYORK ON COMPLETING THE GRID ^ ^ 0
good on ya, herin...taking a break will help your recovery ;)
gone toi forage, brb
Pini. I told him i am a hazard in the kitchen. We cooked breaky together and i dropped an egg. He said he was going to look after me on Friday night (awwwww)
Hopes kate can find yummy food
what a good "himself"! and still sorry you're not feeling well.
Its just a stupid head cold but I can't take the usual drugs as they either clash with anti depressants or send me hyper. If you know the drug Ritalin just give me that and I am a humming bird
wow, herin...cold-turkeying the cold...that's gotta suck, but, then again, a good dose of something that makes you loopy for a little bit could be a good thing! ;-)
done and waiting? or racing to beat the clock?
I have taken a cough syrup but that does enough to stop me sounding like I am trying to remove my lungs
hey, kje...
I think we're all waitin' for the flip ;)
hi pini
hi herin
HI KJE
LTNS, kje...how've ya been?
I am lamely finding my last 31
Hello kje! How are you doing? Welcome to the puzzle!
doing OK, pini, you?
holler if you want help, herin
well, lets get you across the finish line herin
hi min
things have been looking up, kje...have a new grandson (now 7 wks old); bought a new truck; school activities start this week...
minver, what is your first name?
I will be right thanks. Didn't really expect to finish
congrats pini!
Sarah, why?
...and here, all this time, I thought it was MIN! LOL :-)
PIni that is one adoreabubble gandson
thx kje * beaming *
i was just musing, that if i ever met people here in real life, i would still prob call them their nickname... i would still call you min - LOL
thanks, herin * proud Nonna smile *
I love the moose photos
I'm the same way, kje...wouldn't seem right using anything other than!
those are some of my favorites, herin...that's his "linus blanket" ;)
awwww
they are adorable pics pini
Saw my name was in the grid once.It would be sa5/12
I make the suggestion of buying the same moose incase that one gets lost, misplaced or needs a bath
so we will call you sa5/12 from now on - LOL... weed has taken to calling me di7
tradewre was in grid 2/ weeks ago!
oh, good idea, herin...I'll have to remind my dau to get another one!
am eating /lurking for a bit...
My friends little one lost Teddy the other day she wouldn't go to sleep
I wonder what mine would be...hmmm...I'll have to take a moment to figure it out...
ju5/11 - that's me!
because sometimes Mosses the moose will need a bath
(and I'm a phantom in this grid!)
impossible to be 5/11
no kidding, herin!!!! LOL
do you mean 5/22?
<also eating and lurking>
oh, make that ju5/22 (forgot the multiplier)
hai jai

I went to type on Moose and typed in Mosses so I thought I would leave it
What's hapining, pini?
