1:01 am

1:01 am

was he quackers about that wine?

1:02 am

There was something in 40s called May Wine. My cousin had it at her wedding, and her hubby said "Isn't it a lovely bouquet?" to my sophisticated Dad, who turned to me and quietly said "He means filthy stink".

1:02 am

just quackers, I think

1:02 am

1:03 am

I went to a party not long ago and they served the most awful wine...some chilean dreck...awful

1:03 am

$16 -$18 dollars american jilli.. not too bad

1:07 am

I wish I could send you wine in Canada.. they don't allow it

1:08 am

No, that's not too bad. But of course here there are probably masses of taxes on top of that.

1:08 am

maybe not for the french wines though

1:09 am

They tax everything in sight

1:09 am

and then some!

1:09 am

3:34 am

Good morning!

3:35 am

good morning everybody

hi jacq!

3:35 am

Good morning, jacq.

same here, am about to go walk Terra (or he me) and enjoy the sun.

3:35 am

heya haz and sprite

3:36 am

blue skies here too, it's lovely

3:36 am

It's like someone's turned the lights on again.

3:37 am

The grid is quite nice so far, jacq, but I've not finished yet.

3:37 am

it is, my heart goes out to those affected by the floods, and to the families of those missing, i hope their loved ones are found safe

3:37 am

it is gentle, jacq. Breezed through it for the most part. Down to 3.

3:38 am

go sprite!!

3:38 am

My thoughts go with yours there, jacq

Hi Scrabbler

5:37 am

Hi Norma. How are you doing?

5:38 am

Doing well thanks and yourself

5:38 am

hi Scrabbler and norma - this grid is no fun

5:38 am

Currently cold + waking up, but hot coffee will help soon.

5:38 am

I agree JB ...

5:39 am

Hi JBV.

5:39 am

I just found 15 but am staring now

5:39 am

i'm fighting off the symptoms of a scratchy sore throat - scrabbler, does it help to take extra vitamin C? I am not allowing myself to be sick - what can I do?

5:40 am

Me too, JBV. I immediately take Echinacea daily til better + suck on zinc lozenges.

5:40 am

I may have some of those - thanks

5:42 am

Up to 25 somehow

5:45 am

good morning everyone;)

5:46 am

Hi Crossy

5:46 am

good morning crossy

5:47 am

5:48 am

Bye JBV--fe4 better quickly!

5:51 am

whats every ones thoughts on glucosamine tablets? good,or am i wasting my time?

5:52 am

Try for a while and see if you notice a response

5:53 am

Lots of people I know swear by glucosamine for themselves and their dogs

5:53 am

well,my knees don,t sound like a box of rice krispies anymore;0

5:54 am

My knees are crunchy but don't cause me pain

5:55 am

its not the snap crackle that gets you but the pop:/

5:55 am

Silly Crossy

6:00 am

this will make you all think i,m nuts,but today,s brekkie is yougurt with grapes and banana slices mixed in and 2 slices of whole wheat toast with apple jelly;)

6:00 am

I give in. I only need 1 but I don't expect to get back to the grid so can anyone help please. Fo5/18. It's possibly obvious and simple but I've gone grid-blind.

6:01 am

sounds good to me crossy. good morning and hi to all - how is this grid today?

6:02 am

hi Pat - I am sorry I can't help - don't have that yet - but i will look. :-)

6:03 am

ty Wolvie.

6:05 am

found it - enemy plus 2 consonants. sort of looks like it could sound like phone

6:05 am

what monkeys can't do in the AM. :-)

6:07 am

got it ty wolvie

6:07 am

yw. :-)

6:10 am

Hi Pat + Wolvie.

6:10 am

heya scrabs! how goes the battle?

6:12 am

the mrs has cut me off bacon:( just 4 measly slices a week,so i save them for a single day;)

6:12 am

Oh no! that is awful crossy - i take it you went (ahem) hog wild? ;-)

6:13 am

lets just say that it is catching up with me

6:14 am

seriously, I am sorry to hear that. I just couldn't resist the bad pun. I hope everything gets sorted out. :-)

6:15 am

How could I miss that? Ty again Wolvie. I have spent all my NOT spare time on this grid and now I have to scoot round demented trying to catch up. Babble should be listed as an addiction. It's lunchtime here and I still haven't had brekkie. If I get back early I won't have a grid to do. Boo Hoo! I signed up to Iron Sudoku but they seemed very very distrustful of me when I asked questions in the chog. Usually good at sudoku but they suggested try the easy one as if I were simple. Hey oh, don't really care what they think of me but might look for some of you to fix any queries I might have. Fantastic fireworks!!! Didn't frighten the animals either.

6:15 am

oh,not to worry nothing serious,but it is time to make some healty changes before scrabbs hires a hit man to just come here and shoot me

6:15 am

Congrats Patxx!

6:16 am

yaa for pat!!

6:16 am

scrabs might just do that, so it is a good idea. :-)

6:16 am

Yay pat!

6:17 am

congrats pat ***

6:17 am

Crossy, your egg + bacon intake is rather worrisome, more so the bacon. Imagine the bacon landing directly into your coronary arteries.

6:17 am

hi Norma

6:18 am

now,if you think your gonna cut my egg intake down,you have another thing coming,but i and poaching and or boiling them,no fried

6:18 am

good morning babble friends!

6:18 am

now me - i would trade eggs for bacon. :-)

6:18 am

howdy trif;))

6:19 am

okay, hate to start off on a pissy note, but you will not BELIEVE what someone said to me yesterday!

6:19 am

?

6:19 am

I am participating in a group at church called "8 who ate" where rotating groups of us get together to share a meal

6:19 am

Morning everybody. I love bacon and eggs too, crossy; but I always look at that bacon before cooking it and think that *that* is what my tummy fat ight look like!

6:20 am

hi trif and nef

6:20 am

uh oh - i sense a jon and kate moment

6:20 am

this month is my turn to host, and a "church lady" was kind enough to say -- right to my face -- "well, we aren't going to be able to call it 8 who ate when we are at your house, as you are only ONE, so we won't be 8 at table, just seven, as you aren't a couple, you are by yourself" - honestly, she could NOT have pointed it out more.

6:21 am

hi Wolvie

6:21 am

pretty rude

6:21 am

rag rag rave, now we can all laugh about it, and get over it.....love having you guys to let this stuff out to!

6:21 am

HOW TOTALLY RUDE, Trifi!!

6:21 am

amazing that so called church folks could be so nasty

6:22 am

did you smack her upside the head for that?

6:22 am

I am going to focus negative attention on this for like, five more minutes lately, and then I am going to forget it and get on with my day....that's my plan, anyway!

6:22 am

id put a pet on the table beside her and say,there we go,now we are 8

6:22 am

EXCELLENT crossy!

6:22 am

good deal trif - ri** above her

6:22 am

;-) crossy

6:22 am

argh = phone - brb. HOpe it's not HER

6:23 am

Or,you could say there are 8 because you brought 3..your m8,yourself and your snooty attitude

lol crossy and good morning all

6:24 am

ooh - even better. :-)

6:24 am

now we move on,this is a very nice grid so far trif;))

6:24 am

hi nonnie

6:25 am

i could tell you trif how my evil,evil wife has cut me back to 4!!! slices of bacon a week;(

6:25 am

What a nice Christian woman, Trif. Pfffft at her!

6:25 am

Hi Trif, Nonnie, Nef

6:25 am

(i hide a jar of bacon bits for emergencies)..shhhh

6:25 am

Hi Scrabs. How are you this AM?

6:26 am

i hope you make the bits yourself - the store bought stuff is worse than homemade. ;-)

6:26 am

I would rathre crawl back into bed for a few hrs--another night of not so good sleep.

6:26 am

i have to buy the store ones,the wife would know the split second if i tried to do up bacon for bacon bits:/

6:28 am

I hear you, Scrabs. DH doesn't cough at all ALL day long; as soon as he lays down, he starts coughing (and I have to get up and get the cough medicine for him! --he has MS)

6:30 am

Oops! Time for work! Happy Babbling All! Have a great day!

6:30 am

<poof>

bye bye nef

I need to get a move on also. Take care all.

6:31 am

another reason to cut back on the grease,i have to elevate the bed or choke to death at night with the acid reflux

6:31 am

Bye nef & Nonnie

6:32 am

bye nef and nonnie

6:32 am

that's too bad about the bits crossy.

6:32 am

indeed,but i shall overcome;)

6:33 am

I have 2 y words - yo 5 (ouchie) and it's plural yo 6. what type are the others please?

6:33 am

Good morning ... another smallish grid, I see.

6:34 am

6:45 am

6:45 am

Hi Trif

6:46 am

hi Trif.. have been cruisin along, but going much slower now with 37 left

6:46 am

oh dear -look at the yw....there is a yw babblet, isn't there? and I always forget how to spell it....calling monkeys now....

6:47 am

seeking caffeine.. brb

6:47 am

monkeys came through!

6:47 am

have scrabbler start an IV aloy....

6:47 am

Yay for trif's monkeys!

6:48 am

Hanging bag of caffeine. Getting IV catheter ready. Hold still, Aloy.

6:49 am

Fisher-Price Home Caffeine Infusion Set--bestseller

6:50 am

hi again all - back from farmville. ;-)

6:50 am

I actually just ordered a new microscope set online for my kiddos for christmas, scrabbler - they needed an upgrade from the kiddie version....

6:50 am

Done with morning milking session, Wolvie?

6:50 am

just pop one of those ones they put in the chest scrabbs so it only has to be dome once and start the caffiene flowing;)

6:50 am

I had one when I was a kid, and we LOOOOOVED in

6:50 am

yep. :-)

6:51 am

Good for you, Trif

6:52 am

were you always interested in sciences yourself, scrabbler?

6:53 am

Yep, science + math. Read everything I could when I was a kid, and still do. Human body & mind are fascinating.

6:53 am

so, going into medicine was a natural progression for you?

6:53 am

I would sit high in huge maple tree in our front yard, read books, and look out at the world.

6:54 am

my mom has a living room with really deep window sills - I would tuck up in one, close the drapes, and be in my own little reading world....still love thinking about that

6:54 am

hey, scrabs, you are invited to visit here and sit in our tree house in the giant maple in our backyard - I haven't been up there in a while myself

6:54 am

Well, it was for my mother, Trif. I think I have ended up the in the right place, for now. I often think what I am best suited for.

6:54 am

hi JBV

6:54 am

Morning all

6:54 am

hi again

6:55 am

hi hego

6:55 am

I would love to, JBV. I love trees, have my favorites in so many places.

6:55 am

hi Hego

6:55 am

hi Trif - how'd it go with the teacher meeting?

6:55 am

Funny, I used to sit in a tree and read as a kid also.

6:55 am

we took down our old tree house just a few weeks ago, as it was no longer safe, and we are going to build a new one this spring, in a different copse - I can't wait!

6:56 am

teacher meeting went fine, jbv, thanks.

6:56 am

they have tree house hotels in some places - sounds fascinating

6:56 am

Ivory tower people maybe.

6:56 am

hi hego

6:57 am

Hi Annie

6:57 am

Hi Annie

6:58 am

I must get ready for tennis match. Bye all. Enjoy the day.

6:58 am

Hi Scrabbs, said hello to you before but you were busy putting a caffeine catheter into Aloy

6:58 am

bye scrabs

6:58 am

take care scrabs

6:58 am

have fun

6:59 am

lol,your tree house/book stories made me think of my childhood discovery of reading..all those new worlds,all the new adventures.hehe i dont think i left the library from aged 8-14 lol

6:59 am

interesting, but not surprising, that so many of us babblers were childhood reading fanatics....

6:59 am

The library was my favorite place when I was a young child

7:00 am

yep, I remember loving the library when I was a kid -

7:00 am

im still a reading fanatic,never mind childhood

7:00 am

i usually have 3 books going at any given time

7:01 am

me too, cross, one in each place where I might want to sit down and grab a moment of peaceful quiet

7:02 am

we love to read - go to the library all the time -and still can't stop buying books. :-)

7:02 am

Gosh, have you all bought back a memory. When I discovered the library I tthought I was in heaven.

7:02 am

I also have at least 2 books going at the same time and one waiting in the wings

7:02 am

lol jbv..i reading clive cussler now...a mans man type of author you can almost smell the jack daniels and feel the salt spray of the ocean storms;))

7:02 am

I remember trying to calculate how many books there were in the library, how much time it would take me to read them all... :)

7:02 am

Whole new worlds. It was great.

7:03 am

I have to try to avoid bookstores, like a wino avoids a bar...thank GOD for libraries!

7:03 am

Trif, yes but there is Amazon and barnes and noble on the internet calling, calling

7:03 am

i did that jbv..you can read 10,000 books on average if you read 2 per week

7:03 am

glad there's something for everyone out there, crossy

7:04 am

library sales, annie me love, and yard sales.....

7:04 am

and live to 90

7:04 am

I downloaded the list of all the novels that won the pulitzer for literature and tried to read all the novels - still plowing through, with breaks now and then

7:05 am

library and yard sales are wonderful for picking up book

7:05 am

s

7:05 am

and, I must confess, I never did make it through Ulysses - I try, again and again, but Joyce beats me every time.

7:05 am

but sometimes the stars align and you find the time, the motivation, and the right book all at once - this summer I finally read War and Peace - the best reading experience of my life

7:06 am

I fell in love with Tolstoy -

7:06 am

lol@ war and peach,as a recal the author takes 85 pages to describe a dress!

7:07 am

peace

7:07 am

lol

7:07 am

lol@peach

7:07 am

yes, each moment is a treasure, crossy, worth rereading - the man was a genius

7:07 am

war and peach...hmmm - plotline?

7:07 am

well it is in the top 10 list

7:07 am

its kinda fuzzy atm trif;))))))

7:08 am

georgia goes to battle over fruit rights?

7:08 am

lol crossy!

7:08 am

LOL, Trif :)

7:08 am

Anna Karenina is a favorite

7:09 am

just want you all to know - it is pelting rain, and my car is parked in the garage, at last, due to my herculean efforts yesterday. ahem. I RULE

7:09 am

yes, Annie, I read that recently also - I remember thinking why did they make us read this in HS? it is a mature woman's story

7:09 am

as far as canadiana goes, farley mowatt is one of my favorites;0

7:09 am

same as Madame Bovary - you have to have a certain experience to really appreciate it - generations of students have been turned off to great literature by premature exposure

7:09 am

raining like hell here as well trif

7:10 am

The sun is shining here

7:10 am

I would put To Kill A Mockingbird in that category as well. somehow they think because Scout is a girl, that the book is appropriate for youngsters. um - no.

7:10 am

the only one that really gripped me in the school lists was lord of the flies as i recall

7:10 am

A Tale of Two Cities and Shakespeare was the reading assignments in my years at HS

7:11 am

well folks, the real world is calling - see you all later

7:11 am

i mean asking 12 year olds to disect and interpet moby dick can turn anyone off of books for a bit

7:11 am

oh, lord of the flies scared the hell out of me in school! the idea of kids running wild like that!

7:11 am

Bye jbv

7:11 am

yes, crossy, once they stop snorting at the idea of dissecting dick....

7:11 am

bye jbv

7:12 am

all the boys loved the book trif,we all just imagine running around an island like that

7:13 am

I am trying to remember if primo liked it - I think he did. He just finished reading the scarlet letter for ap english, and he and all his lad friends were basically putting their thumbs in their eyes by the end. I LOVE the scarlet letter, however....

7:15 am

.. back.. today is garbage/recycle day. Forgot last week, didn't want to miss this week.. ah, now for some Babble time

7:18 am

aloy, do you think you will go see the movie precious? I wondered, since you worked in an inner city school at the start of your career....

7:19 am

hi Trif.. yes, I've seen the previews with S. Bullock.. and I do want to see that movie.. have you seen it?

7:19 am

no, not that one - the movie about the girl in the inner city....

7:19 am

s. bullock is in the one about the young man

7:19 am

Well, have to go now. Gone for the day. Won't be able to fnish. Ah shucks.

7:20 am

Bye now

7:20 am

rats hego! how close did you get?

7:20 am

oh, I have the movies mixed up.. Oprah previewed Precious.. yes, I'll see that one too.. one of these days.. hard to watch, I'll bet.. but well done

7:20 am

bye hego

7:20 am

About halfway.

7:20 am

aw, hagd anyway hego!

7:21 am

And POOF!

7:21 am

I am thinking I might go buy a ticket, to be financially supportive, but might wait until it comes out on dvd to actually see it. I think I would have a hard time watching such a difficult movie in public

7:21 am

even in the dark of a theater?

7:22 am

I had spoken with a couple of people who saw previews, and some had bad audience experiences - nervous laughter when there shouldn't be, people talking throughout - not my kind of thing. and I might need to take a break during it and walk some of it off. I get sucked in, you see, and have a hard time keeping distance

7:23 am

congrats, pinny! lovely to have you aboard!

7:23 am

ah so, Trif.. I understand

7:41 am

we are getting all sorts of creative here, let me tell you! Secondo has a Wii, and it takes SD cards. So, I am loading up images from the Lourve, cool photos, etc. on this card. That way, when people are here for dinner - like my church group tonight - instead of a big black rectangle being all hella boring on the wall, great images can scroll silently by.

7:43 am

i didn't have that one! thanks wolvie!

7:43 am

got fo4 now, the other?

OK, got it. I can stare at the grid all day, but as soon as I ask for a clue, then I see the words.

8:23 am

I cannot find the fo 5 for the life of me fuq - nudge please?

8:24 am

fo5 - warm Alpine wind. Three letters for an enemy, then take the vowel out of a chicken/female bird.

8:24 am

bless you haz, and good morning/afternoon

8:24 am

Good morning/afternoon all.

8:25 am

You're welcome, it's another of those blessed babblets.

Thanks Hax. Good day all

8:25 am

still missing one f word - makes me want to say a more well known one

*haz

8:26 am

There is another form of the wind, take out a vowel to leave a word structured like J*** the Baptist.

8:26 am

Hello, autumn, glad the clue helped.

8:26 am

that was it! again, bless you - 8 to go!

8:27 am

You're nearly there.

8:41 am

Good morning, harpjane. I confess that I don't have one.

8:42 am

8:42 am

If I could find a picture of aeiou, it would help to clue vo7.

8:43 am

lol haz

8:43 am

I should google a shell as that would help with 3 of the co words.

8:44 am

Google's great, back shortly with my offering.

8:46 am

Hopefully it shows up clearly enough.

8:46 am

Hello, FM!

8:51 am

I don't even have a jacuzzi to blame.

8:51 am

10:16 am

any clues for the co 6's?

Nice grid - especially since I've got a cold and my head is a bit fuzzy.

co + he4/5; co* (as in milker) only more so; alternate spelling of co5/24

10:18 am

ty helen, weird one

The second one of those looks like co+river diversion! (we4/8)

Good luck all - think I'd better get a step or two toward supper, or I'll be too tired to do it tonight! Back later.

10:33 am

Good morning, good evening all. Carolryberg, your dog is just too cute for words!

the transformation game lets you enter the game with a question about your life, and then you get to walk your path on 4 levels. Physical, emotional, mental and spiritual. You meet challenges, obstacles, blessings, angels, and you can formulate an answer after the game is through.

5:39 pm

awww. I love my mum utterly, she got back from Australia 2 days ago and we've been on the phone for hours just saying "I'm so glad you're back!" "I missed you!" etc etc

5:40 pm

i wish i could say the same.. i talk to my mom in the shower

5:41 pm

hi harp!

5:42 pm

my mom is on her fourth hubbie and I' ve like them all!

5:42 pm

my stepfather and I got off to a bad start when I overheard him tell mum that he didn't want me and would only put up with me cos he wanted to marry my mother. I was 4!

5:43 pm

omg atal.. loved stepfather but didn't find out he was gone til after a week

5:43 pm

he took care of my mom

5:44 pm

I disliked him utterly until about 3 or 4 years ago, when he finally admitted he'd been a shit to me as a kid, for various reasons that I can understand now but obviously couldn't then. After that, we've got on better. Not brilliantly, but better

5:45 pm

my sister was telling bout my aunt passing and she figured my stepdad would know bout the death and finds out that he's been dead for a week

5:45 pm

ick :(

5:48 pm

5:53 pm

Tx Min & all

6:25 pm

6:26 pm

6:41 pm

Hi Hurshy

lol yw book

6:42 pm

when they did an ultrasound before my husband's gallbladder removal, they saw a mass in or on his kidney. so he had to go in for a CT scan yesterday. they were hoping they could see fatty tissue or something so they would know it was benign.

6:42 pm

scwabby my weekly allotment of bacon is due tomorrow;))

6:43 pm

So, results?

hurshy, crossing my fingers

6:43 pm

but the radiologist couldn't figure out what it was. his PCP called him to tell him he will next see a urology surgeon and decide about PET scan vs biopsy vs maybe just removing it?

6:43 pm

Hello Bugsaw!How are you doing?Welcome to the grid

6:43 pm

crossing mine as well hurshy

6:43 pm

they said it is only 1.4 cm, so i wonder if they just can't tell because it is so small?

6:44 pm

I bought all of my Thanksgiving dinner stuff today, except for pies. Family will be at my house this year as I am on call and must be down here close to hospital if I am called in.

6:44 pm

Hi Min. Thanks for your icon clue. Mine is one too

6:44 pm

ty for the clues Bus and Min

6:44 pm

Biospy would give definitive diagnosis

6:44 pm

* BUGS_ Sorry

6:44 pm

Hi all new entrants

6:45 pm

I got the dh word already Bugsaw,but thanks for clue

6:45 pm

but they seem to think it is solid, not a cyst, and apparently most solid kidney masses are cancerous. however, when they are that small, they apparently usually can be removed and then you're fine. no chemo or radiation bc that type of cancer doesn't respond to it.

6:45 pm

HI Scrabs, Crossy, Hurshy, Min, Bugs, lurkers

Hey, DR

6:45 pm

Hello Scrabbler&all who entered while I stepped away

6:45 pm

Well, this is fortuitous then Hursh.

6:46 pm

C's Completed! 3 left

6:46 pm

Hi DR!!

6:46 pm

but if it had metastasized, then that would mean he had a 5% chance of survival.

hurshy, I don't know about kidneys and masses, but I know that many of my friends with cancer have found that it really isn't the bugaboo dx it used to be. Thanks heavens for modern medicine

6:46 pm

then we are hoping it hasnt if it is cancer

6:46 pm

but sc, am i right in thinking that if it is that small it can't possibly have metastasized?

6:47 pm

Not enough info at all to presume metastasis + poor prognosis.

6:47 pm

well of course i wouldn't PRESUME the worst, i was more hoping to figure it could NOT be the worst.

6:49 pm

If no other masses were seen (liver/spleen/nodes) than that is good.

6:50 pm

as far as i know, no others were seen, but i don't know if they've... looked.

6:50 pm

i.e. if metastatic disease is present then it is unlikely that a single mass is present

6:51 pm

Bugs- are you off all next week or just a few days?

6:51 pm

or not at all

6:51 pm

A young guy--#1 suspicion = testicular cancer. Have him check the fellas now.

6:52 pm

you mean that the kidney one could be secondary, having metastasized from elsewhere?

6:52 pm

i doubt he would know how to check himself for that...

6:53 pm

DR I get next Thursday off but it is just in my district. We celebrate Thanksgiving in October in Canada

6:53 pm

Primary kidney cancer at his age is far less likely than testicular cancer metastasizing to kidney, but latter usually goes to nodes around aorta.

6:53 pm

oh dear, that sounds bad.

6:53 pm

scrabs what about pains and aches in the lower mid section for a woman???

2 to go, ee 5/10 and f0 5/18

6:54 pm

But, in all liklihood this mass is nothing worrisome at all and is an "incidental" finding.

6:54 pm

Many possibilities, Joanne.

6:55 pm

book scarie

hurshy, when do you get to find out? Is he scheduled?

6:55 pm

ee5/10 is spooky

Hurshy, yes, this is concerning, but accept that you will have to wait to have a plan

And keep us informed, Hurshy, I'd ike to hold you in the light, as Quakers say.

7:06 pm

well, that is ok for me, but i feel like i ought to be able to do something to help him not feel worried. (he says he doesn't have any lumps on his testicles.)

7:07 pm

so what is he feeling and how old if you don't mind me asking

Hello all. Good wishes Hurshy to you and yours.

Dr are you still here?

7:08 pm

hi everyone!

7:08 pm

he SEEMS to be doing ok, as far as i can tell. obviously he would rather not have this be happening, but, he doesn't seem too freaked out.

7:09 pm

hi red

7:09 pm

Hi Red and Dawger

7:09 pm

he's going to be 29 next week.

7:09 pm

Poultry bones of any kind are dangerous, especially when cooked, because they can splinter and cut the gut.

8:06 pm

no i would never do that to my little angel, he does love his lunch and it is raw and great for his teeth which are like razors

8:06 pm

8:06 pm

Well done one sparklies, Andree.

wtg Andree

8:07 pm

*on, not one.

8:07 pm

missing one of the top left E's - have the ec4 repeated sound and the ec4 with the other vowel ending

8:08 pm

6/30 another vowel and sometimes vowel

8:08 pm

ec6 - it describes the 2nd ec4.

8:09 pm

tx both - E's erased

8:09 pm

A bit spooky maybe, like Crickley Hall in the James Herbert book I am currently reading.

8:09 pm

y/w dan.

8:10 pm

bye all and happy babbling

8:12 pm

All authors seem to hit upon a pet word or phrase during the writing of a manuscript - James Herbert's was 'umbrageous' (shady) in this book.

8:12 pm

'Bye Andree.

8:13 pm

Another meaning, used here in the UK Midlands for 'umbrageous' is 'to easily take offence' from the the term 'take umbrage'.

8:13 pm

4 left, all CO's

8:15 pm

Then co4.11 - bovine like.

8:15 pm

hey JAC!!! (more hugs)

8:15 pm

Hi Min.

8:16 pm

*trumpet blasts* redshoes has arrived.

8:16 pm

(Hugs) Stid back.

8:16 pm

Hello Jacula! Congratulations on finishing early! YAY!

8:16 pm

hey min! I am well, hope you are the same!

8:16 pm

good, red's here, so now we can PARTY!

8:17 pm

wooooooo! who wants a Sam Adams Octoberfest? I still have a couple left.

8:17 pm

mmmmm. BIRRA!

8:17 pm

I'm well now that I have a working computer again. I was w/out Babble for a week or so; major withdrawal

8:17 pm

'Trumpet blasts'? I hope that doesn't mean red has bad wind?

8:18 pm

that explains why I didn't see you Min, but I figured it was my peculiar schedule... glad you're here!

8:18 pm

Min - you mean to say you didn't get back into real life and clean your house/apartment etc?

8:19 pm

No idea who Sam Adams is, Red.:(

8:20 pm

Sam Adams = Budweiser for the discerning palate

8:21 pm

More flagellant than flatulent, Jac. Well, actually, not so flagellant, either.

8:21 pm

LOL, red.

8:21 pm

Jacula, I actually did clean my house last weekend. I have a workshop tomorrow, so no cleaning tomorrow

8:21 pm

stid - the words Budweiser and palate do not go together.

8:21 pm

Min - LOL.

8:22 pm

rofl Jac! actually, I don't like beer much at all...

8:22 pm

true Jac. I'm generally a microbrew gal (and Miller if I'm going "low-brow"), but I like this Octoberfest.

8:22 pm

I am done! I have fireworks! fo5/18 was my last word

8:23 pm

YAY Min!

8:23 pm

Stid - it's like putting Jameson's whiskey and Jack Daniels in the same sentence. Not sure if it's a paradox or an oxymoron.

8:23 pm

well, Tom is home and I am down to 19, I think I will list and let him and stidkid#2 finish supper.

8:23 pm

Well done, Min.

congrats min

8:24 pm

It's not a hard grid today, you sometimes just have to think about it a bit.

8:25 pm

first CO 6 please?

8:25 pm

stid - joint beneficiary of a will.

8:25 pm

thanks JAc! down to 13. Cs complete!

8:26 pm

y/w stid.

8:27 pm

mmmmm whiskey.

8:28 pm

You like Irish whiskey then, red?

8:28 pm

Or do you prefer Scotch (whisky)?

8:28 pm

I like most forms of whiskey. =D I was actually trying to decide between beer and bourbon for my beverage of the evening

8:28 pm

The 1st co6/24 word is co plus he 4/5 word stidmama

8:28 pm

bourbon is not whiskey or whisky.

8:29 pm

yes it is

8:30 pm

bourbon is Kentucky whiskey.

8:30 pm

SHOES!!!1

8:31 pm

TOR!!!

8:31 pm

No, it is not, red. Bourbon's primary ingredient is corn, whereas both Irish and Scottish whiskies have barley as the primary ingredient.

8:32 pm

I didn't say it was Irish or Scottish, it's Kentucky-ish. ;^)

8:32 pm

Irish whiskey uses a mix of malted and unmalted barley, whereas the Scot's version uses only malted barley.

8:32 pm

firewords

8:33 pm

Southern Comfort is also 'Kentuckyish' is it not?

8:33 pm

Well done, stid.

wtg stidmama

8:33 pm

Yay stid!

8:34 pm

Congratulations stidmama on fireworks!Good for you

8:34 pm

thanks for the assistance, folks!

8:34 pm

Yay stid!

8:35 pm

I am going to print out a map of the place I need to drive to tomorrow, and then go lie down. ((((many hugs)))) my weeks just get longer and longer

8:35 pm

*poof*

8:36 pm

Actually, I guess SoCo is contributed to Louisiana and/or Memphis.

8:37 pm

Southern Comfort aka 'The Velvet Hammer' (I can assure you that you will only feel the iron the velvert enclosed by the next day) is distilled from grain crops and was first introduced into the USA by an Irish bartender. It's hootch, plain ad simple.

8:38 pm

ahhhh hooch. who doesn't love hooch? heh.

8:38 pm

The ones who hate hooch are the ones someone opens the curtains to early for the next day (about 5pmish)? LOL

8:39 pm

Mmmm .. house smells good .. a pot of macaroni and ch6/24 just about ready to come out of the oven ..

8:39 pm

whiskey in general is made from a grain mash. the grain could be barley, rye, wheat, corn, etc.

8:40 pm

*Fancies macaroni ch6/24 right now and so scoots over the Atlantic to Torg's house.'

8:40 pm

mmmmm I just finished some mac & ch6/24, myself. yum!

8:42 pm

ooooh, i'll be right over, Torg!

8:43 pm

I'm making that dish myself at the end of next week for my son when I will be cooking a bacon joint and golden potato pie (potatoes, cheese, onion, butter & salt and pepper). Son doesn't like the potato pie, so I do him macaron ch6/24 to go with it, and always have to pinch a bit for myself.

8:43 pm

Hello lbdawger! How are you? Welcome to the puzzle!

8:43 pm

Hello, Min! i'm doing well, and yourself?

8:44 pm

Years ago, one of my son's friends would only agree to stay overnight if I cooked him the MC dish. LOL

8:45 pm

mmmmm sounds scrumptious, Jac!

8:45 pm

I've noticed that it's only the UK, the Greeks and the Italians who don't refer to that dish as macaroni AND ch6/24. Interesting.

8:46 pm

Red - it is!

8:46 pm

I am doing well lbdawger. Was babbleless for a week, but now I am back because my computer was fixed.

8:46 pm

what do you call it?

8:47 pm

yay for fixed computer! i'd be totally bonkers if i didn't have my computer and the internet

8:48 pm

in our house it's called smack and sneeze

8:49 pm

Recipe for my Golden Potato pie: GOLDEN POTATO PIE (serves 2) Ingredients: Approximately 450g potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced 50g Cheddar 1 small onion, finely sliced 40g of butter or margarine Salt and White Pepper Method: Preheat oven to 190ºC. Grease an ovenproof dish with some of the butter or margarine. Arrange an overlapping layer of potato slices on the bottom. Dot with butter, sprinkle on salt and pepper and then a layer of onion, followed by a layer of cheese. Continue in this way until the dish is full, finishing with a layer of potato, seasoning and butter topped with cheese. Place a lid on the dish and cook it on full power in the microwave for 10 minutes to soften the potatoes. Then put the dish in the oven and cook for 50 minutes at 190ºC. Test with a skewer to make sure the potatoes are soft then cook for a further 10 minutes WITHOUT THE LID, until the top is golden brown. Serve with bacon or gammon steak.

8:51 pm

can anyone run a conversion on Jac's recipe for us stupid Americans? ;^)

8:51 pm

What conversions do you need, red?

8:52 pm

i am not a stupid american......

8:52 pm

I'm just kidding Jac. =) and I'm not saying everyone's a stupid american...just those of us who are. =D

8:52 pm

Recipe for my macaroni and ch6: macaroni, ch6 ..

8:52 pm

If you substitute the cheese for a different kind, it won't taste the same/

8:52 pm

:)

190C is 374 F

8:53 pm

i are stoopid when it comes to the metric system. that's why i have a converter on a lot of my recipes

8:53 pm

Hey Red - I know I often run with the 'stoopid Yanks' linne bur I don't really mean it. I take each person as I find them.

8:54 pm

Okay, there's some milk and butter in there but those are just alternate forms of ch6 ..

8:54 pm

exoe

8:54 pm

sorry....now that was stupid: wrong window!

50 g is 1.76 ounces

8:55 pm

Oh, lbd - I only used metric in that recipe because I put it on my computer to e-mail to my son's g.f, who asked me for it. I work in imperial measurements (lbs and ozs).

8:55 pm

There are no ex's. Think about the PB.

40 g is 1.41 ounces

8:56 pm

yay for the empire! wait...what? I'm a tired red. =D

8:56 pm

I've got a converter somewhere but it's posted on the recipe site on BabAon.

8:58 pm

ox5/24 - a type of daisy but it describes a bovine beast of burden's seeing orbs.

8:59 pm

Blimey! I post a metric recipe, expecting you'thick Yanks' to understand it abd you din't and ask for metric. I'm gobsmacked!

8:59 pm

in case you aren't able to get a clue, you can work the "numbers"; the formula is: add the letter tile point values together; 4 ltrs x 1, 5 ltrs x 2, 6 ltrs x 3, etc...
