12:21 am

long time no see bj!

12:21 am

rotfl mrp

12:21 am

lol mine too mr p

12:22 am

mmmm! apple pie...no cinnamon I hope....

12:22 am

haven't seen that much snow in years flosey. Hi MrP.

12:22 am

I can remember plugging our cars in at night (when I lived in Alaska)!

12:23 am

yes, harp, that was an all too familiar sight

12:23 am

i suppose gr8 has been called...

12:23 am

Alaska!! Now I would like to 'visit' the place, but plugging cars in?? no thanks.

12:23 am

hi hursh...it has ;)

12:23 am

occasionally have to plug in car here too lol

12:24 am

and I remember throwing an old blanket over the car engine (under the hood) and forgetting about it the next morning...causing smoke to eek out whilst driving...

12:24 am

I've been away from Ontario for 14 years BJ

12:24 am

that was in Michigan...back in the day

12:25 am

I'm lucky now if I get to see snow on the ground here in the valley (we get it sometimes - about a week per year, but only an inch or so)...

12:26 am

Pinik i can relate though i am in a different state

12:27 am

...there are times I actually miss snow on the ground!!!

12:28 am

I know i do!!!!!!!!

12:29 am

I don't!

12:29 am

the onlty time I don't miss it is when stupid people get out and don't know how to drive in it!

12:29 am

Was RA 7 called?

12:29 am

we've been known to lay a drop light on the motor and then cover the hood - when I used to have to leave for work at 6 AM.

12:29 am

you guys are welcome to come and shovel my driveway every time it snows then :)

12:29 am

Pinik sadly most people dont

12:30 am

mlf. ra 7 x 2

12:30 am

nice try, dart!

12:30 am

ty diz

12:30 am

we're lucky, the town has to plow out our drive - it's about a block long

12:30 am

not getting anywhere with this, so off to bed :)

12:30 am

actually its a RA 6/7

12:30 am

you ARE lucky, rbud!

12:31 am

3x ra7

12:31 am

i second that jill

12:32 am

nice finds, unfriend

12:32 am

now ro6, being a compound, I would have said it backwards!!

12:32 am

I must say, roads were cleared superbly in Quebec and we had a local farmer do our driveway at about 5 am

12:32 am

but I am downunder and we treat our sheep different!

12:32 am

unfriend. is the other RA 7 an RA 6/7?

12:33 am

ra6,7,7 then the 6,7

12:34 am

cool i am missing just a 7 then:)

12:34 am

that would be the heat one mlf

12:35 am

no i have htat one

12:35 am

oh wait i am missing a 6/7 sorry read that wrong my mistake

12:35 am

is a compound you are missing, and the plural

12:36 am

I was talking about sheep earlier.... if that helps with the ra6/7

12:37 am

1:25 am

* grin * what a smart cookie!

1:28 am

1:29 am

nah,i don't buy that, jilli...i think you are a closet smart cookie.

1:30 am

WTG RURU!!!!

1:42 am

oops, I pb'ed with di4...and YAY, ru!!!

1:43 am

I don't think I have the ta4 ruru added not she to for ta6/33

1:47 am

then change the last letter, coming from the right-hand t, add not she

1:47 am

I have that ta4/8 but not the one before ta6/33

1:48 am

ta4 has same vowel twice

hi and nbt

1:48 am

hi josh

1:48 am

hi, josh!

1:49 am

Holy mackerel! thx, granny! No fish word, that.

1:49 am

yw jilli

1:50 am

it is a bird from new zealand

1:51 am

not a fish!!!!

1:51 am

Yes, I looked it up. Maori word. Had you yeard of them?

1:51 am

*heard

1:52 am

never before this, jilli

1:52 am

yes jilli, but yet to see one....* sigh * maybe one day

1:52 am

oh, I must google it

1:54 am

My, what an interesting-looking bird!

1:54 am

strange how things stick in your memory. i did a project when i was in sixth grade, about new zealand

1:54 am

that would be over forty years ago

1:56 am

shows the value of doing projects!

1:57 am

i've actually persuade himself to go over to tasmania next february, on the ferry/ship. ta4 the carwith us and tour around for 8 days.

1:59 am

then the next BIG holiday, i hope to get him on board the ghan, train which goes up the centre of australia. hire a car in darwin, and drive down the west coast, fly back to melbourne from perth. that will be about 3 weeks.

i've driven the west coast from perth to broome - there's a lot of nice and a lot of nothing on that drive

2:01 am

grannyrose, Tasmania is lovely, eldest dtr moved to Devonport last year, I was down their in May/June...

2:01 am

Granny, I apparently have some Welsh cousins living in Melbourne now.

2:03 am

wow, you lot are blowingme away. josh, i know there is a lot of nothing, but that can be just as gob-smacking sometimes. if you ever have the chance, drive over the Hay plains, outback NSW

just think long about getting a 4x4 for the drive - i got stuck in some sand in utter nowhere and was lucky to be discovered about 20 minutes later by a truck with a wench

2:04 am

diz, went to tassie when i was in fifth form, school excursion, fell in lov ewith it then. himself has only seen the north.

2:05 am

josh, a winch would probably have been handier

haha,you're probably right

considering they're made for the task. unlike...

2:05 am

but, on second thoughts, if the wench was samson's little sister, she may have done the job

2:06 am

granny, I have only seen the north as well, hubby and I are seriously thinking of relocating..just gotta talk younger dtr to come too...LOL

2:06 am

jilli, do you know where in melbourne your cousins are?

2:08 am

diz, where in ozland are you?

2:08 am

Fraid not, granny

2:11 am

I've never met them

2:12 am

Well, time for bed. 62 left. I was rather distracted earlier by a friend in need of conversation.

2:14 am

if you find out , jilli, perhaps i could phone/see them. would be lovely to have that link with you

2:14 am

nite, jilli. hope you have a good one

2:16 am

Granny, I've never even met their parents, who live in Aberystwyth. We exchange Xmas cards and I don't think they even have email so extracting the info won't be easy!

2:17 am

I'll email you their names and maybe you can find them in the phone book?

2:17 am

i'm off too.dinner to prepare.see you all at the flip. jilli, that would be great

2:30 am

granny...me in NSW

3:01 am

.

3:01 am

oops

4:30 am

take

4:33 am

oooooooooooooops

4:37 am

hi all...writing from hospital bed...aren't i crazy?

4:41 am

Over and above the call of duty lol ... nothing to serious I hope

4:44 am

God bless, Jaeleigh. Be well soon.

4:51 am

hi all :)

4:54 am

Hi Ata

4:55 am

quiet in here!

4:56 am

Sorry I was a bit slow.. listening to Susan Boyles new album

4:59 am

is it good?

4:59 am

Excellent just my type of music ....

4:59 am

wonderful!

5:01 am

Fireworks ....

5:02 am

even more wonderful!

fireworks right behind norma

5:03 am

yay josh!

5:07 am

isn't it strange how each grid seems to have some of the strange words from the previous grid in. like a ou5

5:10 am

Good morning/day to all. Another night of insomnia---aaaargh!

5:11 am

ditto, I sympathise!

5:11 am

My brain just will not quiet down!

5:12 am

ditto! and doesn't help have husband crashing around half the night cos I dared to want to read while I couldn't sleep!

5:13 am

Harumph to him.

5:13 am

exactly

5:13 am

he stormed off to work this morning without even saying hello. stupid man

5:14 am

Well, just not polite or respectful.

5:14 am

yes. too much effort to type long words though :P

5:15 am

I guess a wife may call her husband stupid. Perhaps that is the best adjective for him at this time, LOL

5:15 am

but then I did get my longest ever scrabble word which pleased me immensely - urticarial

5:16 am

Whoa! How many points and against whom?

5:16 am

I mean stupid not in the intellectual sense just in the grrrrrrrrrr argh stupid sense :)

5:16 am

I know what you mean, haha

5:16 am

hardly any points! well. 78? I think? imagine if it had been on a 3x!!

5:16 am

against Chris S (Fuquayvarina)

5:17 am

Hurshy is demolishing me in a game. My goal is to have at least half her point total.

5:17 am

depressing playing her, isn't it

5:18 am

I was doing quite well against her recently until she scored 256 or something with 1 word

5:18 am

And nrkiii--very humbling to play against the tops players

5:19 am

nrkii I can usually hold my own against, we normally finish really quite close, I think we must play in quite a similar manner

5:19 am

bbnaz I have big problems with! (betsy hughes baker)

5:20 am

I am improving. I must work on defense.

5:21 am

ditto. I'm only really starting to realise that defence is an option

5:21 am

I also need to shuffle my rack better and look for big words instead of settling for baby words

5:22 am

but so much of the time baby words give you more points

5:22 am

true--I do like parallel play with 2 letter words, esp on the right spots

5:23 am

me too. I love just slotting in a letter or two sneakily

5:24 am

And I need to think like a chess player and set up plays. I notice that hurshy & nrkii do that.

5:24 am

and it's so much easier to do playing sowpods

5:24 am

yes ... and I guess that's where defence comes in too!

5:28 am

I almost think I could be a very good scrabble player if I could spend all my life studying it

5:29 am

Oh, yes, memorizing lists and the top anagrams

5:29 am

exactly, I have enough trouble memorising the 2 letter lists!

5:30 am

I have a few study books written by the champs--lists of 2, 3, 4-letter words, front + end hooks, common rack anagrams (e.g. ratine + another letter)

5:30 am

And to remember the 2-letter lists from different dictionaries is tough!

5:32 am

I always get stuck if people start games using the US dictionary. I end up cursing lack of 2 letter words very vehemently

5:32 am

That is why I always chhose the UK dictionary

5:32 am

me too (duh)

5:33 am

ny is too useful to leave out!

5:33 am

Once I accidentally clicked on the french dictionary and it took my sister and I 3 turns to figure it out because up til then we chose acceptable words! It was so funny!

5:34 am

LOLOL!!!

5:34 am

She said, "You idiot, we are playing in French and neither of us knows french!"

5:35 am

you must have just died laughing

5:38 am

I did wonder why so many words were being rejected.

5:39 am

Where are other Babblers? We have dominated the chat log for a while now.

5:39 am

I don't know ... it's suspiciously quiet

5:40 am

[tiptoeing in] I'm here imagining how it would be to play scrabble in a language i don't know.....

5:40 am

Are you done? I have 106 to go.

5:40 am

hmm. somewhat like Babble

5:40 am

100 to go

5:40 am

hi JBV!

5:40 am

good morning, early birds

5:41 am

Hi JBV! Yes, it was one of my goofiest mistakes in life. Fun story.

5:41 am

i have 96 left

5:42 am

file this away in your scrabble dictionary - I heard a great word the other day, a new one for me, waiting for it to show up in the grid - SAGBUT

5:42 am

(it's a musical instrument)

5:43 am

It's my arse

5:43 am

Flipping through the Scrabble dictionary is always amusing + humbling.

5:43 am

LOL!

5:43 am

oooo! what sort?

5:44 am

6:19 am

6:20 am

6:20 am

6:20 am

wat abt ronaldo?

6:21 am

him too

6:21 am

ronaldo is over the hill

6:21 am

to pay someone millions to kick a ball around is ludicrous

6:21 am

wen he was in Mu, he was known s cr7

6:21 am

I see

6:21 am

most true fanss cannot afford to go watch their team play live because the wages bills are astronomical and puts up the prices on the stands

6:22 am

it is ridiculos

6:23 am

puts my soapbox back under the table

6:23 am

i agree

6:23 am

I'm very cross with Beckham, why not say before that he has asthma and act as a role model for 1000s of kids

6:24 am

sorry, it rankles me that nurses, policemen, firemen, paramedics, who meet and help people on what is sometimes the worst day of their lives, get paid so little

6:24 am

and these ponced up so called sportsmen earn millions and lead less than upstanding lives sometimes, yet are hailed as heroes by the younf people of this world

6:24 am

it really is quite quite ridiculous

6:43 am

my daughters have had that for years, it's awful and leaves them bruised afterwards

6:43 am

Yikes, I must leave for the PB stat...*sprinting off*

6:43 am

ty scrabs :P

6:43 am

:-D

6:43 am

ouchy!

6:44 am

My Lickety Add box is not coming up on Babble Expert

6:44 am

Scrabs, have a ? for you. What is the difference between Influenza A and H1N1? And would the H1N1 prevent Influenz A?

6:44 am

itching is the worst thing ever

6:45 am

Flu strains are eaither type A or B and the H1N1 strain is an A strain.

6:45 am

My poison ivy experience in July was miserable!

6:45 am

So if a child got the H1N1 vaccine, it would or would not protect them against A?

6:46 am

My hubby's cousin's entire family has come down with Inf. A

6:46 am

the girls used to have huge lumps the size of their hands all over their body

6:46 am

oh, bichon, how miserable!

6:46 am

until someone has had really bad eczema / rashes / whatever they don't realise how itching can be so much worse than pain or anything else!

6:46 am

The H1N1 vaccine provides protection against the H1N1 strain only. The seasonal lfu vaccine contains 3 strains, 1 A and 2 B or vice versa

6:46 am

they had both itching from the rash and pain from joint swellings

6:47 am

always together and for days at a time

6:47 am

Yikes, they're all very sick and the little one has asthma

6:47 am

The only Flu A strain circulating inthe US since Apr has been H1N1. The rapid flu test is for A and B.

6:47 am

... back.. hi Scrabs, Une, bichon.. anyone I didn't say hi to previously

6:47 am

hey, aloy!

6:47 am

poor girls :(:(:(

6:48 am

The little one got the H1N1 vaccine [one dose] but came down with A. It's puzzling

6:48 am

So then they have H1N1, bichon, and stay away--they are contagious for up to 12 days from onset of symptoms

6:48 am

ok past half way, daughter back and bored, time to go play ghosties with baby

6:48 am

have fun and fireworks everyone

6:48 am

bichon i hope your family recovers quickly

6:48 am

It takes about 2 wks to get some immune protection after the vaccine and kids under 10 yrs need a second dose 1 month later

6:48 am

Yahoo jacq!

6:48 am

Bye jacq

6:48 am

bye, jacq!

6:49 am

They live about 120 miles away, and there's not one to help them. The kids are 13 mos. and 2 1/2

7:18 am

I was looking for a doctor in my insurance plan.. (don't have one here in Fla.)... had some great advice from three locals who have experienced this, plus I did online research, and I have antibiotic creams, so I held off.. scary though.. I knew the "danger" parameters, so I didn't panic

7:20 am

hahaha poor Sily just woke herself up and jumped about 6" out of her basket

7:20 am

she must have had a nightmare?

LOL - funny story about the ta4 ....

8:07 am

Yes

8:07 am

when I was in college, our chemistry prof told us to add a "ta3" of something to a mix. One of the foreign students raised his hand, not familiar with the term.

8:07 am

lol

8:08 am

The professor told him it just meant to add a little bit, a shake or two. But the student was not satisfied with such an imprecise instruction, and wanted the prof to tell him EXACTLY how much a ta3 was. The prof answered it was "1 over a shitload" which made us all ROLL. Not a lot of laughs in a chemistry lab, usually

8:09 am

Cute story.

8:10 am

haven't thought of that in years.....gotta love babble! it stirs the cobwebs...

8:11 am

9:06 am

bye jud and mymuse

9:13 am

good morning

9:17 am

wal-mart generally drives me crazy,but it,s handy when you only have time to stop at one place and do not want to go to 15 different stores..guess thats why they are as big as they are

9:17 am

howdy harp;)

9:22 am

when i have time,i make a point of supporting the small mom and pop stores;) we have a lovely old downtown here with all the quaint little shoppes.i feel guilty every time i use a big box store.thought of this yesterday was trying to assist my wife in moving around in our wal-mart,but it was like a mad stampede of zombies running around,kids screaming and puking in the asiles and powered scooter tearing up and down the asiles missing people by inches lol

9:30 am

I'm back, ready to finish up, I hope.

9:33 am

9:43 am

ty Luv

9:43 am

lol pini..didnt mean to vent on it,but it all looked so..commercial yesterday and not like years ago,we used to spend all day browsing the smaller shoppes talking with the owners,having a tea with them checking out all the nooks and crannies of the old stores and at the end of the day you may have no more than one gift,but it will be perfect

9:44 am

ahhh, "those were the days, my friend..."

9:44 am

You make me long for the 'good old days'

9:44 am

"...we thought they'd never end..."

9:45 am

But along came greed and they did end.

9:46 am

11:01 am

yvw mich

11:01 am

ty pini for the R clue

11:02 am

Thankx pini!

11:02 am

not if 90% of your income is depended on the christmas sales --- it is hard for the retailers

11:02 am

wow...glad I could help!

11:02 am

Chestnuts roasting... is a Thanksgiving song, isn't it? I miss both winter holidays. Here they start selling donuts (A Chanuka treat) the day after Sukkot

11:02 am

I still need the top A for nbt

11:02 am

a + thing on top of your neck

11:03 am

Whoops - big/little boys are home. THat was 8 quiet minutes. <Sigh> BBL

11:03 am

Do they sell turkeys in Israel. I would think ex-Americans would still follow that tradition

11:03 am

no that is a christmas song -- tho it's been said many times many ways. . . . .

11:03 am

I know, jmc...but it could be promoted as "Holiday shopping"...

11:04 am

well it is around here --- that was my ethnic bias creeping into the chog

11:04 am

and ty and nbt

11:05 am

sorry about the outburst...apparently I was having a moment...

11:06 am

...no doubt showing frustration having to go to the office on my day off...

11:06 am

need two do 4/5's...

11:06 am

You're right jmc, I forgot those last lines. In school we always sang it around Thanksgiving, I guess the holiday mix up started a long time a go.

11:06 am

*hands pini a chocolate"

11:06 am

thx jmc...

11:07 am

y'all have a great day...I'll be back later for my last 87!

11:07 am

bye pini -- have fun at work

11:07 am

Turkey is very popular in Israel, although usually sold in parts. THere are Americans that still celebrate Thanksgiving and 4th of July too. Of course many Christians come for Christmas, this is THE place of course.

11:07 am

134

11:08 am

do4/5? help a poor hospital patient!!!!

11:09 am

Actually my school district (public) was something like 80% Jewish so there was always a couple of Chanuka songs in the winter program and a picture of a dreidel on the wall near the principal's office, but all of us little Jewish kids still know most of the Christmas songs by heart! LOL

11:10 am

I know quite a few Jewish choir members of churches my self

2:53 pm

news are always positive only and we can believe only 25% of it

2:54 pm

over here, it

2:54 pm

I was also wondering what they thought of Michelle Obama's dress - the fashion reviews here were all glowing "glamorous," "elegant" etc., but I thought it was slightly too-too-bare on top - what do you think?

2:54 pm

it depends on WHICH news you watch as well

2:55 pm

Yeah Obamas dress was very good. But does that feed u in an way

2:55 pm

absolutely not, Preethi, I understand your point of view

2:57 pm

hi all

2:58 pm

hi diem

2:58 pm

People here have lost hope on these corruptive politicians. Only Manmohan singh is not corruptive and with clean hands But people around him make money in every thing and he is not able to control anything he is a puppet in the hands of Madam sonia Gandhi

3:00 pm

at least this grid seems better tha yesterday

3:00 pm

katie, maybe you went back too soon

3:01 pm

I have a 2 1/2 hour return trip to work and that takes it out of me, but I had to go back as I had already left my new starter on his own for a week!

3:02 pm

ahhhh and yes that is an awful commute

3:03 pm

mind you I had really good feedback from my new boss yesterday which was great, if I had known how well I was doing I might have taken longer off lol

3:03 pm

we are good if you talk to mari tell her to give me a call,i hear you have a bunch for x-mas

3:04 pm

I am popping down to her in a bit as I need to drop of Gran's present before she goes up tomorrow, I will tell her to ring you. Dad is going to the doctors tomorrow about his kn**.

3:04 pm

8 round for Christmas, I wish you and D could be here!

3:05 pm

3:11 pm

Hi Stid, long time no see, how are you?

3:11 pm

hi stid how you doing?

3:12 pm

I am well -- trying to focus on revising my term paper and writing essay question answers. Failing miserably! LOL

3:12 pm

hi, stid, I'm here too - checking email and popping in and out - how are you?

3:12 pm

so... is this grid worth starting?

3:13 pm

ooh, Thanksgiving homework? that's too bad

3:13 pm

hey JBV! ((more hugs)) I am glad to have some time mid-day this week to babble in between the other tasks.

3:13 pm

I'm up to 90 working with hubby and have only been on about half an hour

3:13 pm

the grid is not bad today, mostly normal words

3:13 pm

I'd rather have it with no classes to attend than have all this AND classes! LOL

3:13 pm

*waves at mr. katie* okay, I'll start then.

3:14 pm

*Mr Katie waving back*

3:14 pm

already up to 14! *pulling on running shoes*

3:14 pm

how did things work out with your group project, stid? are you all talking to each other?

3:16 pm

thanks for asking JBV, yes, the difficulty was not (as I suspected) with me mis-interpreting the other person's behavior, but with the other person being overly aggressive (as admitted in a mediated meeting). So he agreed to work on his anger issues and I made it clear that I did the best I could at the time but that I would next time find an advocate to help me in the moment.

3:16 pm

sorry, long answer...

3:17 pm

Poor Mn u poor poorMan U ,wont say any more case you bring up Rangers

3:17 pm

wow, that's interesting - so different from what you were thinking at the time

3:17 pm

Oh stid it sounds like it was a rough time

3:18 pm

they have got 15 mins left there is still hope, Bry has resorted to beer!

3:18 pm

we won't mention Rangers, we kind folk really

3:18 pm

it was not fun katie -- compounded with some health issues made for a rough couple weeks. but things are going swimmingly now! *proud mama look for not quitting already*

3:25 pm

I knew :-). Mari will be home in 10 mins so off to do my Santa thing, did you know she was going up with Archie Diem?

3:25 pm

yes

3:26 pm

the term paper is a synthesis paper on "teaching, learning, schooling" -- supposed to reflect our studies of history, theorists and our observations in schools; also a preliminary indication of our personal philosophy of teaching. *sigh* and we are only allowed to cite materials from the class work, not additional things we have read.

3:26 pm

Night all see you tomorrow xx

3:27 pm

((katie)) see you again soon!

3:27 pm

talk soon bye all

3:27 pm

night katie

3:27 pm

later diem! *more hugs*

3:28 pm

LOL the name of pinikula's dog is in the grid!

3:30 pm

do you like your professor for this course? by the sound of the assignment, I'd say he/she is based in reality, at least in recognizing that the 3 things you mention do require some synthesis

3:30 pm

bye diem

3:30 pm

and bye katie

3:30 pm

ou7?

3:31 pm

ou 7 - what's cut from a movie, shirl - the funny parts, usually

3:31 pm

thx jbv

3:31 pm

there are three teachers for (currently) just under 45 grad students. They all have their good points, and they all have their drawbacks. I would prefer more timely descriptions of expectations (they tend to say "do this" and then hand out rubrics after, and only fully desribed the paper one week before the first draft was due). I would also like to see more coordination between their expectations. There are three separate seminars, and all three are run very differently, causing a lot of disgruntlement.

3:32 pm

However, those things reflect the way schools can run, so I suppose it's good practice for dealing with the bureaucrats once we are hired.

3:34 pm

Hi to my fellow babblers!How is everyone doing today

3:34 pm

By the way, congratulations to all the finishers! YAY!

3:34 pm

hello Min! welcome to the grid!

3:35 pm

I am doing well, but dawdling. I am down to 90 words and really need to depart... *sigh*

3:35 pm

unless someone else wants to study for me! LOL

3:35 pm

ok, stid, bye and have a great holiday!

3:36 pm

No thanks stidmama. I would rather sit here & babble

3:36 pm

(((JBV))) thanks JBV, you too! I'll be back later when I need another sanity break! *poof*

3:36 pm

stid, I'd gladly get in there and tell your professors they need to MODEL what they expect teachers to do [stern teacher-training look]

3:36 pm

Goodbye stidmama! I will see you at your next break.

3:37 pm

Yea! NBT!

4:20 pm

Oh, I guess I don't have that ta 4/5 yet can you clue that Minver?

4:20 pm

Google this: needless repetition of an idea, esp. in words other than those of the immediate context, without imparting additional force or clearness, as in “widow woman.” then remove l o y

4:20 pm

the ta4 means tight

4:21 pm

ta4/5 means pulled or drawn tight;not slack Michnick

4:27 pm

Frankly I can't blame them - I hate mince pies

4:27 pm

Hello Reese's!How are you doing? Welcome to the grid

4:27 pm

but for reals, what are they??

4:27 pm

*gasp* mince pies are little sweet pastry pies with mincemeat in - what the heck's in mincemeat?

4:28 pm

hello min, been here for a while, just lurking hehe. im good, and you?

4:28 pm

Of course Israelis only recently have chocolate chip cookies, so go figure...

4:28 pm

sultanas, raisins, candied fruits and stuff

4:28 pm

O's Obliterated! 6 left

4:28 pm

candy fruits and syroupy stuff.

is there suet in them?

4:28 pm

The ones my grandfather made had venison, and raisins and apple and a bunch of spices.

4:28 pm

those would be mince pies, not mince pies ;)

4:28 pm

Most of what you get eliminates the meat

4:28 pm

I think so

4:28 pm

I'm well.Took dog to park today&went food shopping.

4:29 pm

The original minced pies date back to the Tudor times and were indeed minced meat with fruit and spices added.

4:29 pm

I think so re suet

4:29 pm

well I know what not to bring you for Christmas FM :P

4:29 pm

LOL

4:30 pm

wow, no chocolate chip cookies for israel?? im sorry.haha

4:30 pm

do you not like the mincemeat?

i bought chips

4:31 pm

Well, there are now, but when I first came they not only didn't have them, but you couldn't buy choc chips if you wanted to make them. Brownies and muffins are also recent introductions here.

4:31 pm

*horrors*!

4:31 pm

nope and I do not like christmas pudding either

4:31 pm

though even I remember having to make choc chips from choc bars

4:31 pm

I used to have my mom pack up all sorts of things and send it, I still give DH a long shopping list whenever he is back.

*trying to imagine a world without these pastries*

4:32 pm

*gasp* *starts mailing packages of baked goods to Israel*

4:32 pm

Now anyone can survive here, there is Heinz ketchup & Hellman's mayo.

4:32 pm

Keep 'em coming Reese's.

5:09 pm

THanks Minver. Dinner here is but a memory, and not a very fond one at that.

5:10 pm

Oh no!What was the matter w/your dinner Michnick?

5:12 pm

I had to be out so I left instructions for the kids to make fish. They took out the sole but prepared it like salmon. It was too oily and enough for 3-4 people but we are 8 and no one made the salad because they 'forgot' to buy lettuce. So dinner was a tiny morsel of fish & a baked potato.

5:12 pm

awww

5:13 pm

oh wow. next time they will remember i bet. :-)

5:13 pm

OH well, tomorrow is another day, but just a regular day around here.

5:13 pm

Don't worry Wolvie, after I ran out again (Wednesdays are my crazy days) they all filled up on cake.

5:13 pm

LOL!At least your kids can prepare fish. I am useless in the kitchen!I go as far as making a salad. That's it!

5:14 pm

dangg lol, im 15 ans can make tons of stuff from scratch

5:14 pm

5:14 pm

5:15 pm

No, Wolvie, I only have 7 kids but there is another living with us now, and my M-I-L shows up every night at dinner time, she lives down the street.

6:48 pm

Ah, I see..... I am happy for you...

6:48 pm

that is good news AM

have to admit - I like getting my children all growed up

6:49 pm

they are potentially easier to handle

6:49 pm

Awww, I am happy... Does this mean you get to spend your first Christmas with him ??

there;s an li4 I can't get. I don't know how to tell you which one it is tho

I don't know about that. I can't really afford to fly him across the country at peak time

6:49 pm

Oh Nooooo.... Moon, that must suck !

6:50 pm

6:51 pm

in order, li5, 6, 4, 5, 4, 4, 5, 4

6:51 pm

an I don't have the first li4

I got that and I got the property tax one and I got that- maybe I just didn't fill it in on my lickety and I've been searching in cvain

6:51 pm

that is nice they get time alone-ish

It is the first li4 I need

I am glad they get that time too. It's been 16 years - they have lots to catch up on.

also clue me on the first di4

top to pot + vowel

6:53 pm

did they not even get to talk on the phone or write?

6:53 pm

ty luv

6:54 pm

Hey Luv :)

no contact. But, my in laws were able to keep tabs on him through the "system" and other people we know kept us informed on his whereabouts

di 4/5 what you used to input phone number on old rotary phones

6:54 pm

the first di4 is the di4 on the phone

hi Aussie

ty. got it

6:55 pm

this was a candian divorce i ta4 it

I have that rotary one, singular and plural

no 'divorce'. but huge custody battle

the first di4- not the one where you call someone on the rotary or try to get skinny

6:56 pm

How awful Moon..... I know how it feels to havde no contact with my Dad..... I had no contact with my Dad for 30 years... not one single thing.... I found him by accident 5 years ago, and have had limited contact with him.... His wife will not let him see me, because she cannot have children, so she does not want him to have any contact with his only child....

Sorry I am asking for clues in the middle of heavy conversation

6:57 pm

the rotary this is the first one; get skinny is second

6:57 pm

Its ok Kaplan....

6:57 pm

wow what a sad story aussie

{aussie} I have a daughter, I have a stepson from my previous and now I have my new stepson. I feel very blessed

6:57 pm

7:24 pm

poor ruru

7:24 pm

Had a meeting with a winery that keeps upsetting local restaurants

7:24 pm

**hugs ruru**

7:24 pm

do they send bad wine?

7:25 pm

*imagines a winery painting graffiti on the restaurant

7:25 pm

no.. they are a little abusive and demanding with the staff like they are royalty or something

7:26 pm

I straightened them out today and went over how we treat our customers.

7:26 pm

what? they are selling wine -- so that gets them what?

7:26 pm

i'd tell the restaurants about other good wineries.

7:26 pm

good for you ruru, make the stand....

7:26 pm

They seemed to have gotten it

7:27 pm

that reminds me of a story about Jane Fonda and Ted Turner when they first moved up to Montana.

7:27 pm

that is so silly of them to do -- like there is no where else to buy wine in Napa Valley?

7:27 pm

hi everyone!

hi jen

7:27 pm

hi jenMO

7:27 pm

Hey Jen

just put in a word that it doesnt have a definition for and it gave it to me

idk

7:29 pm

They went to a local restaurant and Jane expected to be given the royal treatment...(she obviously didn't know Montanans). The owner said the wait was about 30 minutes and she could wait in the bar with all the other customers. She said "you obviously don't know who I am!" the owner said, "nope, and neither do the rest of my customers. Now wait in the bar or go elsewhere."

7:29 pm

Hi Jen!

7:30 pm

that happens sometimes they

8:22 pm

Scrabbler ironic that you see them into the world and I see them out

Good evening to my fellow babblers!How is everyone?

8:33 pm

By the way, congratulations to all the finishers! YAY!

8:33 pm

She keeps getting water infections. Am I doing right, I make sure she drinks lots of water, she drinks cranberry juice, she has a vit c melting tblet every day, what else can I do ?

hi Min

8:33 pm

Delirious, Min...off to bed shortly

8:33 pm

Hey Minveryork.... Lovely to see you here

8:33 pm

hi there minv been a while

8:33 pm

hi Min! welcome to the grid! how are you this evening?

8:33 pm

*tablet*

8:34 pm

Water infections, meaning bladder or urinary tract infection?

8:34 pm

uti

8:34 pm

last time, it was so bad, she was bleeding

8:34 pm

Is she toilet trained?

8:34 pm

first ka4?

8:34 pm

she is out of trainer pants in the day, but wears one at night

8:35 pm

ka + do or **e

8:35 pm

ka + do or **e

8:35 pm

lol, you beat me to it dawg !

8:35 pm

If she has had 2 or more infections she should have testing (imaging) of the bladder + kidneys, to look for underlying problem.

8:35 pm

*readjusts foil cap*

8:35 pm

TY for ka4

8:36 pm

I'm well lbdawger. Came to give clues if anyone needs

8:36 pm

she has had 3 so far this year

8:36 pm

whoooo hoooo MIN for you firewords!

8:37 pm

1 test = kidney +bladder sonogram. 2nd test = VCUG = voiding cystourethrogram--small catheter is placed into the bladder, dye is injected, x-rays then taken to watch flow of dye.

8:37 pm

yay well done lbd

8:37 pm

Did she have any UTIs as an infant?

8:37 pm

Congrats Min

8:37 pm

thanks lore, but i've been done for quite a while.

8:38 pm

Congrats lbd

8:38 pm

I don't have FWs yet. I am saving last word for later.

8:38 pm

no UTI's a a little one, but now she is 3 and almost a half, she has had 3 in the last 11 months

8:38 pm

*amazes herself sometimes ... must be the monkeys*

8:38 pm

are your monkeys surprising you welki?

8:39 pm

ahh, but Min, you probably know the word so, it's like having the fw

8:39 pm

you betcha ... ta 6/7 for fireworks!

8:39 pm

Most common cause in girls beyond toilet training = voiding dysfunction...females typically have bacterial colonization in urethra but peeing freq flushes out bacteria and prevents overgrowth of bacteria

8:39 pm

Yeah, you're right. I already entered it into Licketys

8:40 pm

yay welldone welki

8:40 pm

what's fw?

8:40 pm

yahoo welki

8:40 pm

fireworks, welki

8:40 pm

fireworks :)

8:40 pm

ta 6/27 is ta4/6 plus not a cat but a d** & then plural

8:40 pm

whoooo hoooooo WELKI!!

8:40 pm

Aussieme, you might consider not using bubble bath if she likes it. It caused problems for friend's kids at this age

8:40 pm

not for me, but the fw word meaning

8:40 pm

whoooo hooooo AAAUUUSSSIIIEEE!!!

8:41 pm

yay aussie must of been all those biscuits

8:41 pm

(scrabbs, don't some young girls get uti's if they've put foreign objects where they don't belong? think she might be doing that?)

8:41 pm

If girls hold in pee for hrs, e.g. they are too busy playing to take time to pee, they are very prone to infection

8:41 pm

Congratulations Aussieme on fireworks! Good for you

8:41 pm

nooooooo, no fireworks for me....

8:41 pm

ta6/7 ta4.5 + go H** wild when you're done

8:41 pm

was explaining to welki what the fw means :)

8:41 pm

I still got 121 words to find

8:42 pm

well, aussie, git 'r dun!

8:42 pm

ohh, those fw's ... d'oh. for someone who just thought she was so clever, i am such a dolt! LOL

8:42 pm

Oh boy, major mass confusion in log over FWs tonite.

8:42 pm

oh dear more bickies then slip a couple of timtams aussies way

8:42 pm

That behavior typically causes other issues, welki

8:42 pm

lol.... maybe too much sugar :)

8:42 pm

she is not doing that, no foreign objects....

8:43 pm

So Aussie, make her pee every 60-90 minutes when awake, but alos talk to your doc about urinary tract imaging tests

8:44 pm

ok, we usually take her every 60 minutes or so anyway.... she has been diaper-free during the day for a while now...

8:44 pm

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

9:02 pm

the a's are SO hard today! ugh

9:02 pm

hello epan.

9:02 pm

well i was describing how i look!

9:02 pm

my great-aunt's house used to have a sl5 roof. It shattered in a hail storm in its 120th year. Sadly, they could not afford to replace it with sl5

LOl jmc!

9:03 pm

the insurance didn't cover it?

9:03 pm

120 years! wow, i would think some historical renovation team would be out to help

9:03 pm

insurance did not believe in sl5, and figured the roof was fully depreciated

9:04 pm

dawg, she lives in the middle of nowhere in Ohio

9:04 pm

hmmm i think i would have been talking to an attorney on that one

9:04 pm

it must have been terribly heavy with snow on it too. I am suprised hail would do it in

9:04 pm

it thins over the years, bugs, and was installed in 1876.

9:05 pm

at the right pitch, the snow would slide off. but the angle of hail, that could crack sl5 in a heartbeat

9:05 pm

i have a sl5 roof but just got a few tiles replaced

9:05 pm

Wow. we have a lot of rain here. Not too much snow

9:06 pm

nice, jmc. and good point, dawg.

9:06 pm

that cost enough!

I don't own a roof right now )0: lol

9:06 pm

i can imagine, jmc :/

9:06 pm

help with the second kh please

9:07 pm

9:07 pm

jmc change the vowel from the first one

9:15 pm

yes, jmc

9:15 pm

Goodbye Lindrickway! I will see you tomorrow maybe

9:15 pm

ty *looking*

9:17 pm

why must i have a cat that knows how to open closets and doors.

9:18 pm

ma 7/32:think of shortened and combined version of cigarette brand with less nicotine in it jmcnrick.

9:18 pm

because you would be dissatisfied with a dumb cat

9:19 pm

in the end, yes, you're right, jmc. Though having seleted her at 2.5 months of age, i wasn't fully sure of anything other than brave, as she was 1st out of the box

9:20 pm

curiosity is a sign of intelligence

9:21 pm

It is also what killed the cat jmcnrick.

9:21 pm

ty min i keep going in the other direction

9:21 pm

now, if she'd just stay off the dining table. She knows full well that we don't want her there. I'm thinking of laying cardbord with double-sided tape atop it.

9:21 pm

lol min

9:21 pm

that's why they have 9 lives min

9:21 pm

yw

9:22 pm

i just knocked my cat off it until she got the idea

9:23 pm

done that. yelled at her. all she does is wail plaintively

9:23 pm

and you give in before she does lol yes I see how it is

9:24 pm

no, i actually run at her, have shoved her off onto the soda shrine, thrown pillows at her....

9:24 pm

Get a misting spray bottle for plants. Cats don't like being wet and the mist doesn't hurt your stuff

9:24 pm

have tried that. not effective.

9:24 pm

After a while all you have to say is Pssst and they run

9:25 pm

you have a stubborn cat there !

9:25 pm

yes, and willful

9:25 pm

Aaack .. network got borked ..

9:26 pm

i tried that word in scrabble - not accepted :(

9:26 pm

grok doesn't work either

9:27 pm

Thanks jmcnrick!

9:34 pm

my son keeps calling me an asking for driving directions!

9:34 pm

thanks for understanding, dc. Do you know of Yegor Dyachkov?

9:34 pm

Maybe you should get your son a GPS for christmas.

9:35 pm

i've heard of him, but not seen him perform, jilli

9:35 pm

lol I did! but it only tells him where he is

9:35 pm

Don't you have to take your eyes off the road to look at a GPS?

9:35 pm

there is that too

9:35 pm

not if it's mounted correctly, jilli, and many vocalize turns for you.

9:35 pm

Not if it has spoken directions ..

9:36 pm

i think he is just a little lonely since it is the first thanksgiving without me

9:36 pm

Not if it's one that talks to you jillibus. My hubby had one for his job. I have never used one myself though.

9:36 pm

his doesn't speak

9:36 pm

well, that would be the way to go -- spoken directions

9:37 pm

Everybody like my winter scene?, said she smugly

9:38 pm

looks like winter in Houston to me Jill

9:38 pm

There is a lot of grass in your icon for winter jillibus.

9:38 pm

Hi jilli. That is my kind of Christmas.

9:38 pm

but this is Canada, jmc!

9:38 pm

min -- did you read the writeup?

9:38 pm

Feb is when we ofter get most of our 'snow' here

9:39 pm

I tried to find a picture of Christina Applegate in the winter, but was unsuccessful. Today is her birthday.

9:39 pm

I grew up in Victoria jilli and when I spent a year in NH, nobody believed that Canadians were not used to snow! I was in trouble a lot

9:39 pm

i think her dress is very wintery min

9:40 pm

Winter in New England amazed me. They do Winter like we do Summer.

9:40 pm

Bugs, I love your favourite colours! Gorgeous

9:40 pm

I know I am a day out but it was a busy one today

9:42 pm

Well, bugs, that's why I posted this picture. To many south of the border this is still Terra Incognita, covered with snow 365.

9:42 pm

Your icon looks like a kaleideocope Bugsaw;very nice

9:44 pm

Min, if you have Photoshop Elements, you can prevent beautiful people from looking fat!

9:45 pm

oo maybe dc can photoshop me skinny for the posted pics!

9:45 pm

LOL jmc

9:45 pm

the best part of winter in NH was the ice sculpture contests. I had never seen anything like it and never have since.

9:45 pm

10:06 pm

Then I shouldn't talk. This is my life here in babbleland

10:06 pm

this is a pretty good life min

10:07 pm

good conversation, a certain amount of silliness, and a mental challenge

10:07 pm

It woud be better if the flip wasn't still 2 hours away!

10:07 pm

10:08 pm

i've 35 left, so i'm good with it

Hi harpjane! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid

(((seain))) how are you? how is your tom?

10:14 pm

oh, does anyone have a favourite recipe for creamed onions?

10:14 pm

HI STID :D

10:14 pm

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

10:14 pm

we're well, thank you, stid. And how are yall?

10:14 pm

thanks Min! I am feeling just fine this evening, hope you are also.

10:15 pm

Hi, dc, minver, jmc, harp!!

10:15 pm

JB!!!! *MJCLs on deck*

10:15 pm

JB!!!! *MJCLs on deck* hi there!!!!

10:15 pm

Hi JBsAnno! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid!

10:15 pm

hi, JB

10:15 pm

I have a recipe for baked onions with butter and honey, dc

10:15 pm

oops again. computer lag!

10:15 pm

Mmm, good company, MJCLmmmmmmm, mental challenges, and 70 words to go!

10:16 pm

that's a possibility, kje. Care to share, either through here or to my handle here at gmail?

10:16 pm

LOL I just finished one of the worst textbooks ever assigned. *relieved mama look* I am glad to be "shut" of it so I can move on to more pleasant things like revising the paper and such!

10:16 pm

exactly JB

10:16 pm

that's always a happy, stid!

10:16 pm

or babbling stidmama!

10:17 pm

ty, stid, good stuff. Saw another word for it in Dresden Files: frappalattemochachino, something like that

10:17 pm

yes, and babbling!

10:17 pm

Babbling is a GOOD thing!

10:17 pm

mmmm. coffee in all its lovely disguises

10:17 pm

What was the nasty textbook about, stiddy?

10:17 pm

Babbling is a GREAT thing!

10:17 pm

down to 86, I think I will list.

10:18 pm

oo what a nice word looks like a BR phantom

10:18 pm

well, dc... no real recipe anymore, but you slice white onions, put them in a baking dish, smear with butter, drizzle with honey, then salt and pepper and bake... let me see if i can find it

10:18 pm

ah, we're working with pearl onions in this case, yellow, red, and white

10:19 pm

harp, I once had a whole rooftop of snow on ice topple right down onto my car. Fortunately, I wasn't in it, but I was in the house under it, and it sounded like DOOM!

10:19 pm

it's a history text, and in case the author babbles I shan't name it. I feel that it presents a viewpoint that is not entirely without merit, but with no balance on several important issues that the less experienced members of my clsas are unable to consider critically

10:19 pm

pre-boil the onions, then butter, onions and cream in a baking dish

10:19 pm

that probably was just as confused as I think -- have been reading for several hours.

10:20 pm

pitty that, stid, about the book

10:20 pm

Actually, your answer made sense, stid, but I am a bit confused about where the onions fit in...

10:20 pm

hm. good, one, jmc

10:20 pm

I give up! Can't stay up for flip as much as I'd like to.

10:20 pm

(onions are a separate thread)

10:20 pm

i would add nutmeg to that dish

10:20 pm

sweet dreams, minver

10:20 pm

bummer, min, why not?

10:20 pm

Goodnight to my fellow babblers!I'll see you tomorrow

10:21 pm

see you tomorrow min, sweet dreams!

So, cold beans in a can for you, jmc?

10:22 pm

pearl onions will work, dc.... throw them in a dish, pats of butter, honey, etc... bake at 400 for about 30-35 minutes until they start to carmalize

10:52 pm

there used to be a still in the woods between Dumfries Elementary School and the Dumfries Graveyard in Dumfries, VA. It shut down in 1989.

10:52 pm

stid, if you had a mouthful, I think you'd have a tough time being dainty

10:52 pm

10:58 pm

bye ciocia happy thanksgiving

10:58 pm

sweet dreams Judy, have a lovely day and enjoy!

10:58 pm

10:59 pm

no no, choclits are wrapped, see? *demonstrates how to unwrap and enjoy choclits*

10:59 pm

*wonders what the candy confetti would be like on top of choclit frosted cupcakes*

11:00 pm

i wondered why they were so hard to chew

11:00 pm

so5?

11:00 pm

sounds tasty stiddie

11:00 pm

I am getting sleepy

11:00 pm

12

11:00 pm

so, cons, not stop

11:00 pm

so 5: like the cane-like source of sugar

11:00 pm

ty

11:01 pm

so * + opposite of stop

11:01 pm

go jmc go!

11:01 pm

so+hook+not stop

11:01 pm

how many now kje?

11:02 pm

so jmc, you want to hear what I know about "mens rea?

11:02 pm

10 for me

11:02 pm

before I fall asleep again?

11:02 pm

go jmc go!

11:02 pm

sure stiddie lay it on me

11:03 pm

11:03 pm

"first, pour four ounces of irish creme into the cook...."

11:03 pm

hello again

11:03 pm

???????? harp

11:03 pm

that sounds good harp

11:03 pm

hi jill

11:03 pm

okay, it's the idea that in order for something to really be a crime, the person has to intend to be doing something they know to be wrong. Apparently this concept is not used in England, where a person gets penalized if they do something illegal even if they couldn't have known it was illegal.

11:03 pm

hello jill!

11:04 pm

LOL harp!

11:04 pm

there are two kinds of mens rea though stiddie

11:04 pm

today, Jill, I am down to one stidkid -- until "sometime on Sunday"

11:04 pm

oh! I didn't know that! *interested look*

11:04 pm

specific intent and general intent

11:05 pm

ti5/18?

11:05 pm

some crimes it is enough to know you are doing something wrong

11:05 pm

that makes sense!

11:05 pm

Like the guy who found a gun someone threw in his garden, took it to the police, and now faces five years in prison?

11:05 pm

other crimes you have to intend the very thing that you are being charged with

11:05 pm

ti 5/18 is ti + tall cons + alaska abbreviation

11:05 pm

an example is murder requires that you intend to murder the person

11:05 pm

okay, that's reasonable.

11:06 pm

stid, I saw on FB that stidkid#1 was going to Canada. Where in Canada? I hate it when people talk about Canada as if it was about 1 mile wide.

11:06 pm

and then in the U.S. there are statutory crimes that acknowledge maybe the person didn't or couldn't have known it was wrong but we have big prohibitions and so punish anyway

11:06 pm

oh, never mind me, I'm just tired.

11:07 pm

7

11:07 pm

I was deliberately unspecific. Not on any islands, yet close to home, on the Salish sea, and near the frazier river

11:07 pm

stid?

11:07 pm

yes kje?

11:07 pm

nm

11:07 pm

*wicked mama look* Vancouver, actually.

11:07 pm

ty

11:07 pm

help with any of the ka words

11:08 pm

HE's going to be in the Studio audience when Stuart McLean tapes the Xmas show this weekend!

11:08 pm

That's Fraser River

11:08 pm

LOL yep.

11:09 pm

ka4 - from arabic

11:09 pm

hmm

11:09 pm

ka4 - sounds like leafy veggie, plural for ka5

11:09 pm

sorry Jill, I am also tired and can't see the letters I am typing even if I knew how things were spelled. or is that spelt up your way?

11:09 pm

ka4 - add two prefix at end

11:09 pm

ka 4 spelled like fabric squares and triangles on a ship

11:10 pm

done... thanks for the help... must get to sleep as I work in the morning and should probably be awake for that

11:10 pm

whoo hoo kje

11:10 pm

happy thanksgiving all you lovely babblers

11:10 pm

I use spelt but then I'm an ex-Brit. All very confusing. I think most Canadians now use US spelling but I'm bldy well stubborn

11:10 pm

YAY kje!!!! ((hugs)) sweet dreams and see you tomorrow

11:10 pm

YAY kje!!!

11:10 pm

congrats and g'night, kje

11:10 pm

if you're not lovely, happy thanksgiving to you too (hehehe)

11:11 pm

i got the ka fabric from ships

11:11 pm

you, jill? stubborn? must be that bit of scottish heritage... the prickly thistle, and all that

11:11 pm

and those of us who were taught to spell are equally stubborn....

11:11 pm

sarah palin declared that canada should dismantle it's helath system, as profit-making companies should be doing healthcare, not the gov't

11:16 pm

congrats, jmc

11:16 pm

gee whiz -- she probably thinks she has some say in the Canadian process, too!

11:16 pm

*shakes head sadly*

11:16 pm

oh, dc!!!!

11:17 pm

she probably thinks she has a say in canadian government

11:17 pm

I wish our nation had more thinkers and fewer celebrities

11:17 pm

11:17 pm

GMTA, jmc!

11:17 pm

11:20 pm

11:22 pm

*nods wisely*

11:22 pm

YAY JB!!!!!!

11:22 pm

I've been very stisfied with the Canadian system, BJ, which has saved my life 3 times.

11:23 pm

11:23 pm

YAY JB!!!

11:24 pm

'lo, BDG!

11:24 pm

11:24 pm

No doubt Jilli, but how many others have not survived because some idiot was chewing up valuable time demanding antibiotics for their colds....

11:24 pm

I'm not finished -- gave up with 37 to go

11:24 pm

Yay, for jmc and jili!!

11:25 pm

11:26 pm

*smile* jili, I know what you mean!

11:26 pm

bummer book and i don't even know quite what it means

11:26 pm

Yikes, BDG, that's not a good thing!

11:27 pm

sorry gwen, what a hassle

same as phone slamming. well, sort of. my local ISP was shoved out of the way by the (expletive) monster ATT

11:28 pm

they were bought out? or your service was hijacked?

i am talking to you now using an ATT account that I don't want. in fact I've been looking for ways to get rid of ATT phone service. this I don't need

11:28 pm

**fireworks!!** It's my first finish!

my ISP was hijacked! ATT just took over the physical phone lines and dumped all their DSL customers, including me

11:28 pm

So if you are addicted to you just hang around for the next start?!

yup!

coming up in 29 minutes (see the non-clock?)

11:32 pm

I don't think I have any brain power left

fun part is to wait until less than an hour to go, then start the grid heh heh

11:32 pm

it is actually possible to be addicted and not be around for the next start

11:33 pm

Just stick around for half an hour, GE

11:33 pm

it is kinda fun to watch the flip and see the real pros go at it Good

11:33 pm

Work better under pressure?

11:33 pm

I rarely last more than a minute or two but some of these guys are done in minutes

11:34 pm

sometimes lots of cheering for a late finisher good

11:34 pm

I can't believe it. It took me at least three hours and that was with help!

11:35 pm

it takes me hours with help too but i have only been doing this for almost a year (a year on Saturday)

best to put all your affaris in order before you dive in 8-)

11:35 pm

GE, there's no hurry -- that's what I like about this game

11:36 pm

i like that i can come and go and there are different people around at different times of day

11:36 pm

I guess you get familiar with words that come up often

11:36 pm

11:42 pm

hi granny

11:43 pm

Hi granny. I guess you all know eachother

11:43 pm

um, haven't been to check emails for a while, apparently there are nearly 600 to be downloaded

11:43 pm

Hi Granny

11:43 pm

so any guesses on the size of the next grid? did the 200 relieve the pressure of so many small grids?

11:43 pm

sheesh, I check emails several times a day!

11:44 pm

need more, more, more. how about a nice juicy 400?

11:44 pm

Gonna go jigsaw puzzle with my son til the flip

11:44 pm

i know some people well and others i just met recently good

11:44 pm

yuck granny, you wash your mouth out with soap

11:44 pm

be back in a few good

Good, if you hang around here few days you'll meet lots of "regulars"

11:44 pm

400 would take the better part of a day!!

11:44 pm

i would think 280 would be about right for me

11:45 pm

I have too much else to do these days

11:45 pm

for me anyway, I'm a bit slow

11:45 pm

i doubt i would ever finish 400 even with tomorrow being a holiday and me not having any thing to do

i predict 123

11:46 pm

anything in the 150 range I can manage and still get other stuff done

11:47 pm

have your email jilli, will let you know if/when anything develops. as for my checking emails, the drug fog i'm in, doesn't help...can't concentrate like i used to do.
