ahhhhhhhhhhh
thankee, i'm done
nope!
are you also fini freep?
congrats, hurshy
you know i tried the first 4 letters knowing they wouldn't work (it's a klingon pet) and then ignored that letter combo altogether.
tarheel is definitely a word here in north carolina
but isn't it proper, joshuavorbis? :)
retar is a common word here in DC
(xkcd sucks today, FYI) www.xkcd.com
as in, retarandfeather that guy lieberman?
it's not proper in every instance, for example, nc is known as the "tarheel state"
retar the roof. most roofs on the rowhouses are black tar with white pea gravel
i joke.
well done, hurshy
it stinks when roofs get repaired, but lasts a long time.
off to lickety
(not that retarring and feathering a politico is not tempting)
well us CT voters have quite lost patience with lieberman quite losing his mind.
goodness, the rabbit is eating a lot after the 3 hours of running around.
well, yes, that i can totally understand hurshy, and i agree.
the man spoke out against an idea that he had suggested the previous week, for crying out loud!
halfway NBT & 7s - goodnight! {poof}
i've come to be firmly in favor of term limits for congress - both houses.
glad to hear that, hurshy
that he did!
night melon
g'night melon
totally agree dc!
and the president - 6 years & done!
which are you glad to hear, that we've lost patience or that he's lost his mind? :)
they would vote differently if that were the case
that you've lost patience, lol!
the career ones have lost sight of serving the people. They are no longer of the people. sigh.
right!!
unfortunatley true dc
you'd think now that we're in the internet age we could improve democracy.
instead it seems to make it worse.
i read a sci-fi book long ago in which the President was selected at random from all persons not wanting the job. rather made sense. They'd take it seriously, and hopefully with gravitas.
The Forever Formula it was called - the book
unless they happened to be a drunk
well yes. though, when one gets down to it, strictly speaking, the presidency is our weakest elected office (ignoring the various departments under the office for that generalization)
you know, on a cheerful dc note, i was thinking as i saw the tree lit up on the white house lawn, how fun christmas there must be for the obama girls.
:)
over halfway
we're going to the Ellipse to see the Nat'l and state/territorial trees, then to midnight mass at the catholic cathedral on xmas eve.
good evening all
stats on the far right A plzz
hi diem
evening, diem
an4.4
thanks got it
i don't go places. i watch christmas movies. :) we hit rudolph early this year, along with elf and the santa clause (1 AND 2). then last night we did white christmas. tonight was an extravaganza of brady bunch first season christmas episode, mickey's christmas carol, miracle on 34th street, and a very brady christmas, thrown in at the last min when i discovered it was included on a bonus disc in my complete series dvds
is lickety still MIA? got 28 left & not seeing a thing...
sounds like fun, hurshy :)
no, lickety said he posted clues
saving all the best for tomorrow - charlie brown, grinch, and wonderful life
TY
i saw Polar Express for 1st time today, as my 3-yr-old nephew had it on infinite loop - i watched the nephews today.
of course there are lots of others one could throw in if one had the time... muppets, sesame street, ernest...
and then the lesser known oldies like christmas in connecticut
you know mupped studios has a youtube channel and posted a couple carol of the bells, yes? And a brilliant Bohemian Rhapsody.
interesting, i did not know that.
you should check it out, they've upped the frequenty of posting. mini-episodes
fierworks
you'll love animal in the Rhapsody
congrats, freep
YAY freep!
i usually don't mind if i don't catch george c. scott because i always read christmas carol, but, i'm sort of bummed i didn't this year. no more showings of that version :( the capt picard version and the 1938 version are good in their own ways but...
dc seen Polar Express in 3d at i-max a couple of years ago it was really good
congrats freep
fireworks
yeah, i know what you mean, hurshy
how old would you guess the george c. scott version is, if you don't actually know?

WTG Freep
YAY dee!!!

i'm tired and should off to bed. Happy babbling, yall :)
night, dc
well need to go find 2 old cookie recipes... hopefully I can make a few batches tomorrow
hugs to each of you; have a great day / eve
thank you. sweet dreams/good day {poof}
i was surprised to note today that the mickey version actually came out before the george c. scott version! by a year.
yay dee,night dc
ty diem
*poofing with hugs*
so i guess my former feeling that mickey's was really the definitive version was not without any merit.
finish and poof, finish and poof, am i the only one who stays and babbles in the other sense after babbling in the babble sense?
night dee
i do get very babbly in the wee sma's...
however, as no one seems to be particularly enjoying my nonsense, i will betake me to dreamland. niters!
I stay, hurshy, but seldom finish at this time.
night hurshy
and I'm back to say "good night!"
night freep
so I guess I have babbleland all to myself?
hi Jilli, I'm back and forward, baking at moment

sh-- sounds like an airline
ty & fire works
but OMG what a ridiculous word
YAY pug!!!
only the monkeys knew that crazy word.
But I can't think of an airline anything like a word starting with sh
thank you two have not finished one in ages
I still have 40 to go
sh - start with sh and add last 4 letters of an airline
sounds like somebody from Brooklyn singing the Rolling Stones song Gimme Sh***er
sorry, I'm too ancient for the Stones
how bout Sh + D**** Dawn whats that flower you have on....
tks pug
I just don't know "recent" songs
sh - rhymes with 4th letter of
oops greek alphabet
that is a very old one too
sorry I'm too tired to clue well
ah, got that, nurse! Thanks!
Terrible clue and couldn't even type it right. glad you got it.
pug -- not as old as my musical tastes!
excellent clue, nurse!
ok my dear I'm uselessly beat ! Happy Babbling ladies! and happy holidays as well! Le Poof!
Night pug -- sleep well!
I have to go too -- big day tomorrow, packing and hair-washing and so on.
just wanna wish all babblers a Merry and Safe Chrissie...dunno if I'll be on the next few days...HAVE A GOOD ONE...XOXOXO

No it's his last day today, you can only imagine how happy he is about that!
So you get to dig out the driveway
second ro4 work please
luckily we only have ice and I finished all the shopping yesterday so as soon as he is out the door I'm back in bed!
ro4/7 Mr harris
they have it very bad in Scotland I was going to phone Helen later to see how she is getting on
sorry, I don't know Mr. harris
try google and type in "tie my kangaroo down"
Slang for to vomit
TY KatieMcG, got it
yv rumple, he is really famous over here
*yvw
we were lucky, he went over there and never came back
harsh lynxxx very harsh
how would we survive without the song 2 little boys?
He is a clever man, do like his paintings...but way over the top personality wise and I personally am more than happy to lose him to the UK
Bit like Dame Edna really, though wouldn 't mind more of Barry Humphries
he must be getting on a bit now, I used to want him when I was young! Really don't like Dame Edna
would be in his 60s
he's 79!
jeez!
yes I have been sad enough to look it up
Hubby has gone to work so I'm back off to bed, see you all later
bye Katie...I'm guessing you are on hols, good luck to you!
bye Katie
Good morning/evening all.
hi all!
hi haz :)
Hello, Ata!
Is Hobbit grumpy today?
yes!
Such ingratitude. She's been fed within the last week? She's had a roof over her head?
<- refresh
WHAT has she done now?
tail still infected
so now she gets of Cone of Shame
No wonder she's grumpy. You did warn her, didn't you?
nope :)
Poor Hobbit. It looks like a particularly large cone of shame. Stil, you can decorate it for Christmas.
Tinsel and fairy lights and things.
it's actually cut down from the standard size!
Maybe it's the angle of the shot.
but I do like the idea of tinsel
I think it would take the bare look off it.
we have tinsel
oh poor fiona! bad easyjet
I know, it's all rather annoying.
It seems to be the knock-on effect from yesterday, the plane from Belfast to Edinburgh was cancelled, so they cancelled from Edinburgh to Belfast and basically said 'Nothing available until Boxing Day'
couldn't she walk? hitch hike or something?
Morning you two!
dog sled?
I suppose the altervative would have been train and boat, but yesterday's trains were badly affected out of Glasgow Central and she might get even more stuck.
Sorry to hear that Haz
Poor girl, she was beginning to work out whose Christmas dinner she could gatecrash, but hopefully Flybe will do the business tomorrow. They hadn't been expecting more snow through the night.
Thanks, FM. I can semi-understand those people on Airline who fume and fret and jump up and down.
But the sensible side takes control and starts booking different flights!
Not sure I will get to Mums on Friday either
Oh no! Is the snow still that bad with you?
It's the ice thats the problem now on top of snow that melted and then froze again.
We are being philosophical about it.
There's certainly no thaw on the way here either. Main roads aren't so bad because of the traffic that breaks everything up, when country/side roads are involved, it's a different thing altogether.
ditto here
So she's not in too big a flap? That's good, at least you don't have to risk life and limb to get there just to appease her.
All well at the the freezer and the cupboards are well stocked, going to make some soup today. We said we would have Christmas on what ever day the weather is decent and she understands it is just not worth it but am keeping my fingers crossed still tho.
That sounds sensible, just record the Queen's Speech and listen to it on whatever day you get together.
lol Haz and lol at poor old Hobbit.
Mum's gardener has been a godsend as he has been going round to make sure they are OK and has gritted and salted their paths etc.
Hi is there lots of power cuts with you?
No power cuts that I've heard of, diem.
Not where I am thankgoodness diem
That would be the icing on the cake.
There was in Essex I think, 3000 people w/o power for a day or so.
well thats a blessing at least
mother on phone talking about christmas
May as well be on the cake .... it is everywhere else
I know, but I'd rather have bare cake!
LOL BR and greetings
Morning all!
I'd rather have no cake and a daughter safely across the Irish sea. I think it's annoying me more because she had been looking forward to coming home so much and everything seems that bit more tentative.
Good morning, mom.
hi everyone
Hello, Andree.
Will keep my fingers crossed for you Haz Morning mom
and Hi Andree
Is your new place now home, FM?
morning all who just came on
haz how awful, your daughter won't get homein time for christmas?
Weather just stinks! Mostly because no amount of planning can change it!
yes BR a rather untidy home but it is home :)
Hope everyone is safe
I've rebooked her onto another airline, Andree, hopefully to get across tomorrow. The one she was booked on cancelled her flight (and others) and basically said they'd get her home on 26 December.
They're working through a backlog caused by the weather.
Good luck, Haz
Thank you!
It's only costing about 5 times what I originally paid for her flight so I was joking that Christmas menus were to be revised in favour of beans on toast and a plastic pot of trifle.
and christmas presents sold for cash
well if you put a sprig of holly on the beans it would be more festive *grin*
Nobody's getting my presents!
as long as she gets there safely, better a day late than dead on time
Absolutely, Andree, it's probably just the worry and uncertainty about the weather that still makes me uneasy.
thats the pricipal I am working on Andree
And I do fe4 sorry for the airport workers who'll be on the receiving end of a lot of abuse.
we have done christmas a day late a couple of times and it really doesn't matter, the turkey and pudding taste just as good on 26th
was it NZ that had the traffic warning ad saying "better never than late?" so clever
But will baked beans and plastic trifle?
I like a local building firm's logo 'The excitement is building.'
as long as they are M&S beans and trifle
I have just been to DIL's christmas party so its been a long day, hoping tomorrow[christmas eve] to close the office before 1pm
funny!
you wont be alone having X-mas on the 26th we are as well.Mrs D and sister in law both work on the 25th
i love baked beans, the single womans staple
Oh just had a call from the removal people to confirm they are picking up the empty boxes this morning so Ihad better go and finish the las couple. Although I will believe it when I see them - imagine moving in this weather! TTFN and good luck Haz!
I like baked beans as well, it would save all that basting of turkey etc.
All the best, FM, enjoy unpacking. Think of it as Christmas presents to yourself.
bye fm have fun
did anyone watch Celebrity Come Dine with Me last night?
No, who was on?
i did a leg of pork for the family last night as my father in law[ex] was here and used a new method for the crackling, never before has it been so perfect
some random unimportant celebs. David Gest, that Irish gardener bloke, and some AWFUL woman from Loose Women
no ata, never heard of that show
david gest is a creep
she was excruciatingly awful, and then got drunk and lost her footing and her christmas pudding fell on the floor
Diarmud Gavin?
yes! him!
Who was she? That could describe most of those women.
Shelley - ? *looks it up*
Why would you do that on TV? Be excruciating and drop a pudding?
Sherrie Hewson
Ah! I know who you mean. She regrets her lost youth, apparently.
she was utterly appalling
and had a phobia of walnuts
I read an article about her, blames most things on her ex-husband and her wrinkles.
A phobia of walnuts? The name, BabbleRabble?
And walnutophobia won't cut it.
wrinkles, i have lots, but why would they be to blame?
wrinkles, i have lots, but why would they be to blame?
oops
She just thinks that life would be better without them. Put your mirrors away, would be my advice, and find something more worthwhile to do.
ata why is hobbit wearing that thingy
it was absolutely hilarious, but for utterly the wrong reasons
to stop her itching at her tail
You don't think they could have been told to be awful, just for the cameras?
poor hobbit, whats wrong with her tail
Owner neglect.
no, she was just ... something else
she has an infection on the skin, poor babe
i am sure lots of thse reality shows which i HATE do all sorts of things they would not normally do just to keep people watching
hope she is better soon
not mentioning JOrdan here
she's now on *8* days of antibiotics!
I remember years ago when Clive James used to show pieces from Japanese game shows. We were amazed and horrified at the things people would do, plus we couldn't conceive why the Japanese would find it worth watching. Roll on 20 years and it's commonplace.
oh yes, Endurance
hugo might have a very sore bottom soon, he has chewed the labels off several of the presents under the tree including his own
oh dear!!
I know a great deal of TV is manipulation of the audience but those reality things are manipulation of participants and the audience to an unacceptable degree.
i just can't help but feel producers of these shows must think viewers
are mindless idiots
most are :)
Sadly, some of them are. They want rubbish TV.
its cheap labour and somebody must watch them else they would not be on and we are chatting about them !
I think I'd prefer the test card. Do you remember the test card?
yep!
yep
Back in the days when TV didn't come on until the late afternoon....
and finished at midnight
With the National Anthem.
and a dot on the screen that faded
and i remember when dinasours roamed the earth
Wasn't that the tube cooling down or something?
think so
Was everthing black and white in those days, Andree?
absolutle
Pelosiophobia is the fear of nuts.

oooooo
tv came to aus in 1956 for the olympic games, i was 13 and anyone who owned one was in my mind terribly rich
Hi Andree. We didn't get a TV till I960. I was 15 and the only reason we got one was cos my gran was very ill and living with us, and it was so she could watch it. I loved the pop music programmes!
my mother nagged my father into getting one about a year later
See, now if all TV was as good as Sesame Street, we'd not have time for babble. The look on their faces when the phone rings!
i loved father knows best and the mickey mouse club
Hi Ata, Andree, Babrab, Haz and diem.
hi hydra
Hello, hydra.
Hello
Hi Hydra
Hello all
i see you still have the great pic with your daughter
Hi Mich
hi mich
and hi babble
I'd better get some chores done. I need to write a shopping list and hit the supermarket. Let's hope they've not run out of beans and plastic trifles. See you later!
be well, Haz
Hi Mich
Actually, Andree, I'm thinking of changing it since someone commented that our smiles looked rather strained. Mind you, I was probably drunk. It was my 60th birthday, after all!
*gone*
good luck!
you could always nick some of the dry bread and water you feed spangle
Hope your daughter gets in ok Haz
doesn't look strained to me, its a great photo and nothing wrong with a few drinks to celebrate a big birthday
Just checking in. I was supposed to be at work today but since my car decided to make trouble, I am supposed to be working from home (Hubby had to rush off early to take the car to be fixed.)
Now I am supposed to write year-end report from home while all st4s are at the office <Grumble>
3am here night all see you at the flip
bye diem
i should go to bed too, not doing too well with this grid
is there a list?
yes
not sure
Good Morning, one and all
Oh my, the first word I found is Christmas.
lickety is up poof
And then Merk gr 5
hi merk
But it feels like a sticky grid today.
Grid is not too bad .. a lot shorter finish time than yesterday's
That's good. My daughter wants me to do some final shopping with her today. She picked the wrong time of year to redecorate her house.
And we have to beat the arrival of a monstrous winter storm.
Hello all
i am avoiding all shops, its hell out there
hi lynxxx
hi Andree - I think I have made about 200 shortbreads! Thankyou, they are yummy
so am I!
I know, I made the mistake of going out to pick up a prescription last night. What should have taken ten minutes took me an hour due to traffic.
glad you like them lynxx, must admit i have made a lot too and have some uncooked rolls in the freezer just in case
i have done so much baking the last couple of weeks i told my daughter to stop me if i try to make one more thing even if she has to hit me on the head
raths
Oops!
PB for me.
My daughter is somewhat astonished too...I really have done so much sonce before she was born. Aaah retirement!
hi Hydra
Hi lynxxx. Merry Christmas in advance!
Anyone seen sprite lately? How is she?
Hi and Merry CHristmas too
I would like to move just a few vowels around please.

Early I meant as I will be out of town till 3rd Jan
Oh ((((((herin))))) Merry Christmas!
hi herin
Sprite has had a rough 6 months but is coping in her amazing way - a strong woman
HUGSSSSS all round too
I'm sure Mr G will be delighted to have all your good wishes. He's been freezing his nuts off in a butcher's cold store helping with orders all morning. He deserves to be grumpy!
Thanks for the news, lynxxx
hi Infernal
hydra, i have hardly been on at all and therefore haven't seen anyone
So 30 C here is not good I will swap with a freezer
Been busy by the sounds of things Andree
We have a new local bookstore - called (obscurely) The Grumpy Swimmer.
no herin don't wish the frightful cold weather others are having on us
I would like a little less than 30c at 1030pm Thank goodness my parents live somewhere slightly cooler
i have herin, wish work was busier though, i spoke to mrp yesterday to wish her and lickety etc a merry christmas
How long are you over there Infernal?
I would love 30x right now. Sigh... Brrrr.
2 weeks
are you in tas herin?
I meant 30c. My frozen finger missed the key.
Hope MR P and Lickety are well
Andree no parents are
thought you might be going for christmas
Yes I am
oh good, hope you have a great time, my sis is in st helens, love the place
Going to out of Hobart area
i am off to bed, bye all and if i don't get on tomorrow a very happy christmas to all of you
hobart is lovely too, nothing not to like about tasmania
Night Andreee. I am about to follow
Goodnight Andree & Infernal
NOt leaving just this moment but very soon. Very warm and need to do packing
Good morning/day to all. Happy Summer Solstice to those in the southern hemisphere. Us northerners enjoy Winter Solstice because we will see more sun now.
Hi Scrabbler. Yes Summer Solstice has been lovely
It's 4F out and those lucky Aussies are going on summer holidays. I'm soooo jealous
hi Scrabs
19 degrees F here--warming up from 16 when I went to bed 8 hrs ago.
Is that why it is so d**ned hot today!
Bichon its hot and blar here. Just had friends over for dinner
You are close to the sun, Lynxxx!
I am thinking about the number of layers I have to put on before I walk Bisky
10z today!
102 that is
Woo hooo, Lynxxx!
Yike, you must live in the hotter part of Aus
Bichon no
Not really, although it seems to be getting that way over the last few years
This grid is not so easy I am finding.
I am stumped on the y. Anyone have them?
hi babblers, - Happy New Ye** with a different final consonant
ty JBV
ye4.6 rhymes with Baked B***s
Hi JBV!
hi JBV
hi scrabbler, saw your post earlier - nice thought, the beginning of the longer days
hi lynxxx
Yes, we need more sunshine. Boosts my mood.
i'm on a perpetual campaign to boost my mood - got a nice compliment from someone at work the other day, they said I looked calmer, more peaceful
so what are you doing JBV?
well I have to thank my family for giving me a non-stress Christmas, I'm not seeing my brother and sister's families until Jan. 2 - so PLENTY of time for shopping, that's one
and just in general try to focus on the positive and not get lost in gloom
I also read a lot - that's my main escape
oh, and I have to thank my husband who has done a massive job of reorganizing files in our new basement,and getting rid of tons of clutter - that has cleared my brain too
awwww JBV sounds like you have had your plate full and it is nice that hubby is helping out
lol, that last one would appeal to me too
well he's the one who's home all day while I go out to labor in the fields
Have you ever tried yoga JBV, one time I was having a particularly torrid time at work and did yoga for a while - what a difference!
It interests me, lynxx, but i've never tried it - I'd have to learn how
i know there are workplaces that provide outlets for staff - workout rooms, yoga classes, etc. - we do not have anything set up for that, but we could
my office is next to the Phys Ed supervisor - she's a bundle of positive energy - she's always organizing rumba lessons, and such, maybe we'll start something
Last place I was at would have an instructor come in at lunch hours - they ran 2 sessions as it was very popular
mmm I seem to be well stuck on 33
lynxxx do you have the z's - I only have one - zi 4/9
ze + not out
good morning :-)
Yoga is good
and plural
thanks, une!
only one - what Une clued. Hi Une
yw :-)
hey, lynxxx :-)
anyone have the stats for the lone a on the far right hand side?
an4/4 flavoring
an 4/4

hi Une and Forward
hey, herin . . . so strange to think of you sizzing down under during our winter! :-)
I am under the aircon
:-D
Back after playing word in FB games.
its kind of cool under there
morning, scrabs! :-)
I've never played games on FB Scrabs. Can you recommend one or two?
I need to drag my butt to bed :(
Night ALl
Have a fantastic Christmas.
bye herin
Bye Infernal, have a lovely time in Tassie
Thanks will do. hope you all have a delightful day no matter what you are doing
Hello everyone
Bichon, Scrabble, Lexulous--Babblers play vs one another
Bye Lady. Hi Annie
TY Scrabs
hi Annie!
Hi Scrabbler, lynxxxxie
hi annie, welcome back scrabs, time for me to go now, good luck with the grid
Hit 30, time for bed...night all
night lynxxxie, bye jbv
Bye JBV. Enjoy the day.
Sleep well, Lynxxx.
hey, annie!
Hi Une!
my daughter had a great visit with her friend in Brooklyn, then with friend in Boston
so glad it was the week BEFORE the snow hit! :-)
Yes, she was lucky. Nice to hear she enjoyed her visits.
gm all
Hi there, kje, I havent seen you in ages
I just ran off--had a wave of nausea and then puked! Ugh.
hi annie, enjoying your holiday so far?
uh oh
Oh, Scrabbs..I hope you arent sick.
oh, scrabs, do you have a nasty bug??
she's pregnant!
Yes, kje...going to my sister in laws house on Christmas Day. We always have a nice time.
I am hosting this year, annie. which was a little crazy to accept since I was on teh wards until 2 days ago
kje, it's true, I am afraid. It's the Xmas season and another Immaculate Conception. In fact, the embryo has no uterus and is growing safely in my abdomonal cavity.
*abdominal
can't wait to see the update in the Enquirer Scrabs! we want pictures!
Alas, I must alter my lunchbox contents now.
The Enquirer is so old school. It will be all over the web soon!
Inside Edition too.
*calling Larry King for an interview**
but of course... (hangs head in shame) I am not good at my rumor spreading, need an update
see, even annie is more with it than me - LOL
Scrabbs, Was George involved?
I can put a widget on my FB page, chronicling my pregnancy
This was an immaculate conception, remember, Annie?
I know George is good, but calling him the Holy Spirit?
Hi Ata
hey Ata LOL!
I do recall the angel Gabriel visiting recently. Maybe he did mention something important.
Hi Ata, LOL
well, I bet he has heard OMG more than a time or 2
LOLOL!!
Haha, kje
Where is Haz? I want her input on this.
Well, I must shower now. Still feeling a bit nauseated. I work all day and am on call too. Enjoy the day everyone.
bye, scrabs, feel better!
be well, scrabs
Scrabbs, Hope you feel better as the day goes on. T
I will buy gatorade in town
surprised he can hear anything through the door of her cupboard
ata, what did hobbit do to earn the cone? must have been a whopper considering all her transgressions to date
no, not a lot really, she's got a skin infection on her tail
and keeps nibbling and nibbling at it
ouch
thougt maybe she had finally bitten something that bit her back
Ata, did you see "Up"? "the cone of shame" LOL
yes :D
nope, she's not very good at biting things bigger than crabs!
phantom instant
tried that too, kje :-)
she's absolutely fine with the cone, really, that photo just makes her look disconsolate!
must get going -- BBL tonite -- happy babbling, everyone! *poof*
bye
une hagd
that is a sad sad look ata
it really is! you could easily imagine she was whipped daily!
well, the truth always comes out ata (calling PETA)
nah, only twice a week
well I'm going to go and spend some time with my poor unloved pup, and maybe give her *more* treats
bye ata, I need to get up and about too... bbl
Ata, tell Hobbit she is fine - At least you don't let her drink, like I let Emma :)
morning. off to get more sleep.........cold and sunny here.
Happy sleep, MKG!
poor Hobbit :(
hello all
hi, tivel!
Hi peri
Hi Peri

Peri, what do you think of this grid?
it is ok, are you finding it difficult hego?
hello all
hi, Owl
Yes, but I'm just a little way in.
Hi TO
I will help if I can, hego
I'll get into it. :-P
Back with coffee, anyone?
Tx Peri, I will soldier on for a while.
hi, Annie, no thanks
Hi Annie, I'll have some!

Hi Sea
Morning Sea!
How are you today?
good morning everyone
Hi flosey!
Hi Flosey
all is good, nice and sunny here, although cold
hi hego
hi Annie
bbs
i love when I make up words and they're accepted!
lol, nice feeling isn't it hego
lol so do i hego
me too
i also like when a typo is a word
And they wouln't take figgy!
always
right sea, quite surprising
think everyone has been surprised at that one hego
i know, i couldn't believe the figgy one
haven't they heard of figgy pudding?
It was the talk of the chog yesterday.
merry christmas everyone
And to you!
and to you oodle, have a good one
merry christmas to you too, oodle
ty oodle and Merry Christmas to you
ty ty
well I thought it was a travesty not to have accepted figgy.
oodle, is your recipe a soft caramel?
yes ma'am
ty, will try it
depends on the degrees at which you stop cooking it
so, do you cut and wrap pieces? presuming they're sticky
247-9 any way passed 250 it starts too hard
Does anyone have the an 4/4 (the 1st one?) I feel like I've tried every combo but I'm not getting it.
the beginning of a licorice flavouring Mich
I was fixated on the wrong a, thanks flosey.
yw Mich
you can just put it on parchment paper, so you don't have to add more grease to a pan ... they have enough fat in them as it is
I do that all the time Mich
oh thanks oodle
and they do get quite sticky especially if it is less than 247
Good Morning everyone! Hello flosey!
hi there Saanichcat, how are you?
it also makes an excellent caramel sauce
at about 245
oh, I bet, and that would be lovely on Christmas pudding
just fine. relaxed etc. and your good self?
yes
looking forward to our daughters and mates and newest grandson coming for Christmas
hmm. caramel sauce. Christmas pudding. fun time ahead!
that will be fun flosey... the recipe is on my page saan
haven't made Christmas pudding for years, no time now, will have to buy one
brb gotta check something
Fun! Unfortunately no young ones around this year. My family is so scattered that we usually celebrate (with a tree, decorations, etc) in summer, when travelling is easier and we can all enjoy the weather etc. A bit different but it works for us! And THAT is why I'm so relaxed...nothing to buy, or do, or clean, or fret about!
sounds nice. Heavenly even!
sounds heavenly right now saanichcat, still so much to do here
What is Christmas pudding?
LOL Flosey
it's similar to christmas cake but steamed instead of baked, and more moist
Youll mange just fine and it will be memorable! Now, back to the grid. And more coffee.
and you serve it warmed
sounds wonderful
TY Flosey, but since I don't know what Christmas cake is.....
It's a Brit thing Mich
I thought so, always read about it in Veddy British novels. But since I
oh, it's a very rich, heavy fruit cake - raisins, currants, cherries, nuts, and so on, I always made a dark, heavy cake but there's also a light one
From Wikipedia: Christmas pudding is a steamed pudding, heavy with dried fruit and nuts, and usually made with suet. It is very dark in appearance - effectively black - as a result of the dark sugars and black treacle in most recipes, and its long cooking time. The mixture can be moistened with the juice of citrus fruits, brandy and other alcohol (some recipes call for dark beers such as mild, stout or porter)
oops, since I've never celebrated Christmas, I didn't know for sure.
well it looks like you would just have to make sure that everything is melted and it is a golden brown colour
Sounds good, I'd bet a small piece goes a long way.
Some of the original recipes (mine is Bude) produce puddings which last forever (just keep adding a dram of brandy) once a year. I've had ones 10 years old.
wow saan just like fruit cakes
So it's actually like preserved fruit with cake? Like a Nesselrode Cake?
wow, can't imagine it lasting that long saanichcat! at least not when my family was around
Oy, ten year old cake, already!! ;-)
but I prefer rum
if you do it right flosey it will last as long as there is alcohol in it
well, there's a Cake that's new to mee Mich, never heard of Nesselrode
jellied chunks of fruit.
In th US we call it fruitcake.
not ALL my family likes them! But I do, especially with the holly and the burning brany and of course, the hard sauce!
really?
*brandy
ah yes, the hard sauce, very British, isn't it?
It's traditionally served with brandy butter
Isn't this where Crossy usually shows up?
isthat like icing?
Although I prefer custard and/or cream
Yum!
anything will do!
My dad used to tease us every night, whatever was for dessert (Usually applesauce or fresh fruit), he'd sigh and say, what, no nesselrode pie!? Once in 9th grade I skipped school and spent the whole day making it (Bought the preserved fruit ready made). He took one bite and said, Too Sweet. Nice dad, huh?
love them all, have also had a light lemon sauce (less rich)
hard sauce is creamed icing sugar, butter, and brandy and chilled.
oh, how deflating Mich
Ahh, poor Michie. :-(
aahh, Mich...
Exactktm hego, flosey, saan. I did learn though, that whatever the gift, praise the thought & the effort.
I meant exactly
Agreed
of course, Mich, children need to be praised for efforts
ah it says rum at epicurious.com
in the hard sauce I mean
whatever your choice. C
Too late to teach Dad, flosey, but I try & remember with my kids.
right - no matter what the lesson was, we can always learn something from it
Depends on the pudding and your traditions. Might be nice with calvados?
I think it took until I had my own kids to realize, but I hope it wasn't too late.
Not too late Mich, the chain is broken.
Thanks Saan!
Fireworks
good Dad!
I soaked my fruit in wine thinking it would be the same as 'brandy' in the fruit cake I made um... NOT it came out too sour. So I am drying the whole thing and going to add rum to it when it is all dried and the alcohol is out of it... hope it will be ok
WTG ANNIE
Mich, Sounds like my Dad too.
one thing I learned was not to expect my girls to grow up to be replicas of me
hello everybody
My kids made us a perfectly awful Chanuka supper one night last week. Tried to make them feel good though.
tmas prep is a chore!
good for you Mich
It's hard Annie, but we have to grow past the hurt.
oddle how can it NOT be? Doesn't sound like anything can go "off"
OH
Yes, the hurt is in the past. We can let go of it and go forward.
oodleberry: after you add all the alcohol, set it on fire (in a safe place) and then eat the burned shards. How bad can that be?
I have had it drying for a couple of days so I am going to put it in a container and put rum in it
ty ruby for the suggestion
omg, nestlerode -- I thought that was only in NY
fans
anyone want a clue before I take off for the day?
I love Nesselrode pie
rubyfoo, are you from Montreal?
two first wo
Well ruby, My parents were New Yorkers.
Do you make it Annie?
no, American but retired in France
yes, Annie, please, te7
ah, just remember (way back) there was a restaurant in Montreal called RubyFoos
wo4 11 and wo 5 24
flosey, try a different spelling for a soup server
yes, annie, please, dyding here
I don't understand the clues (blushing), they look like chess to me
thanks Annie
oodle, the wo4 tried to blow the house down and plural
tyty
tx Annie
there was also a restaurant in Manhattan when I was a kid named Rubyfoo and my dog's name is Ruby!
You mean the te7, Annie? It's actually like a foie gras type pudding.
tart
DUH
ruby: the letters are the start of the word, the first number is the total number of letters in the word
tarts
Yes, Mich, that's it
ty annie
if there's a second number, that's the total points of the word (click Help above for the explanation of points)
Ruby, you can't type the words in the chog. Big nono.
(Whose going to tell Ruby about our PB?)
sorry, why does that happen?
I think Ruby Foo is still there
pb?
Penalty box
uh oh. dumb ruby
Me, Me. If you type a word on the chog you will be sent to the penalty box where chocolate and all kind of goodies await you. So beware
penalty box ruby, we keep it well stocked with delightful foods, etc
*in
sorry everybody, I'm very poor at this!
If you write a word from the grid in the chog, you have to go to our virtual penatly box. Lots of lovely nosh there, though
nosh is good!
And cabana boys!
Nosh was in the grid and the PB yesterday (LOL)
plus excellent coffee
ruby, you are doing quite well. just ask and we will be glad to help you.
Not poor, just starting out.
Well, off to do some work & make supper, be back later.
bye, Mich
rubyfoo: the most difficult lesson is the coding of clues....the 2nd most difficult is the PB.
Bye Mich
and so I am off, bye dear babblers
how can there be two no5 12's
fireworks!!
YAY for flosey!
wow flosey, well done!
you are all very nice and tolerant; I'm accustomed to sowpods blitz in lexulous where we are all killers
wtg flosey
no4/4, no5/12, no6/21
only one, oodle, not south
I mean the word
no ruby, this is not a competition, we're all friends helping each other
Babblers are warm and fuzzy.
there are not two of them there is only on and the opposite south
so how can it be plural
this is oh so confuzzling
I compete.....have a friend on here is about 3 million points ahead of me.....trying to catch her!
ah, get where you're coming from now oodle
Good question!
Enable says so ---so it is. Amen
we just learn not to question, if it fits and is accepted, super!
sorry I didn't use the right words in explaining myself... AS USUAL
Pfft! Jmitch, you'll NEVER catch up with me... ok, maybe if I take a year off?? LOL!
no problem oodle, we can all be misunderstood at times
i think 2 years
:o)
am going to have some breakfast now, be back tonight at flip time
amelu: i looked at your profile....4 years. You went pro pre-K.
t'was a while ago... didn't realize pre-K, tho... it's certainly been worth the $$, LOL!
Good afternoon everyone, I am popping in to wish everyone a Happy Christmas and have a quick look at the grid as time will not permit me over tommorow:)

I know you were doing the walk for the cure a lot
yes and still am
i have passed the 2 billion mile mark
very nice!
so I have been doing JUST A WEEEEEEE BIT
well anything for finding a cure for cancer
That is awesome, Oodle
but what is more important is the milliseconds... like 3.5 million
So, how does that equate into help for the cure?
it works like the other games, right?
Like, I do the one for St Judes
meaning it has made money for research ... how much I don't know and I don't know how they computer it into the total given
st judes is more straight forward
i think
oic
well i don'T SEE how st jude computes it either so.....
lol, ok
Thanks.
I mostly play the ones I like, and if they are for a good cause, all the better
it says they make money from the advertisers and through people buying sweetbucks.... kind of like wftc but matt doesn't say where he gets his money... it is from a 3rd party and I don't think advertisers<
thanks godth? for what

In British, Australian and New Zealand English, along with Dutch, the tool is known as a Stanley knife. This name is a genericised trademark named after Stanley Works, a manufacturer of such knives.
I always capitalise it

Anyone for a miniature sausage roll?
husband in his infinite wisdom chose tomorrow for decorators to come over and decorate his study
Sally it is supposed to get better tomorrow

Totally un xmas related question - do you know if it possible to get extension cables for mice (for the computer before any wise guys chirps up)?
Conehead? because of the tail Ata?
I do hope so caitlyn, I have driving in ice and snow, and husband is now disabled and can't drive so depends on me :-(
Can't afford to break a leg!!

That is a typical man Ata, anyway you wont have to clean up after the guests
FM, yes it is. Hang on while I find a link.

Clever Harry - Congrats!
You have to be careful Sally

Merry Christmas to you Scrabbler
Done done done. Last exam was last Friday, have been with Lori since that evening.
How great to see you!
Oh, Uni, your Emma is just like my Daisy! Same black splodges on the head.
Oops! Early Christmas presents for all!
Emma tomorrow!
It is great to *see* you!
Is Lori near the computer with you now?
I apologise in advance for the lack of Christmas cards. I am feeling January cards as more festive.
It IS Emma tomorrow! Lori is near me, FM, should I poke her to babble?
yes yes Lori!
I love Emmy's black spotches. She's a funny, beautiful cat.
yes just so we can swhis her Happy Birthday if I got the date right!
Once again I never managed to send out cards...then I fe4 smug about being green after all.
LOL Scrabbler I hadnt thought of that
especially as I ahve to go soon :(
It's passed, but she is still very excited for the wishes :)
She's booting it up - takes a minute, but she'll be here
yay!
Oh rats, thought I had written it down right but the thought was there :)
Ho freakin' ho fellow Babblers!
Happy belated Birthday Lori and Merry Christmas to you
Oh, green smugness. I might borrow that.
(((Lori)))
Hi Lori!
Lori! Happy Birthday! Happy Christmas! Happy Shed Cats!
Thanks for the Birthday wishes, made it to another year, yea for aging! :)
Happy UnBirthday wishes from Australia Lori !!! Hope you indulged yourself...and Merry Christmas in 24 hous!
Oh Ata, the shed cats are so pretty. I was feeding them treats earlier, it is so funny to watch them fight for them.
Congrats on ageing Lori LOL
***lobs a super soft, yet bohemouth snowball @ FM Ata, poor Hobbit and the cone of silence ....
now all is right with the world, the ying and yang are balanced as Lori is back and that means I can *blast her with the mega xmas water gun*
Christmas is very close for you, isn't it Lynxxx?
awwww! how many have you got at the moment?
Thanks Lynx, cait FM Ata and all
*putting on rain poncho*
I think there are 7 or 8, and poor Mama is preggers again. Any day we'll see some more.
*Dons tinfoil rain hat and stylish boots*
awwwww shed kittens!
Let me know when the water fight is over
are shed cats something special? or just the blatently obvious?
***Oh no, not the mega Christmas cannon***
Well I ahve been saving it up for you dear :)
Looks like it Lori
I hate to leave the water fight, to say nothing of all the cats, but have FINISHED! and must try to finish Christmas chores. Merry Christmass, all, in case I don't encounter you again before then.
Just the obvious. Someone dumped pregnant Mumma out years ago and she just keeps having more. Emma is one of hers.
Yahoo HGK!
that live in Lori's shed
***launch of mega Christmas cannon to the power of infinity in 5, 4, 3, 2, ....***
Well done, helens!
even worse than Spangle's kennel
Uni that is aver festive tin foil hat you have on, must have put a lot of work into that :)
bye helensgirl...
Congratulations Helens! Nice job
Why thank you, Fm. I am thinking of marketting them. Perhaps I could get Jordan to endorse them?
Uni looks very stylin' in her tinfoil hat, matches the tinfoil jammies....
Merry Christmas Helens
how very chic, Uni
How is your pre-Christmas season, Cait? Snowy and blustery?
LOL Uni Jordan would look really good in it but I think it needs a face mask as well
Jordan wouldn't wear that much clothing!
Tin foil jammies? Now that is a woman who takes her conspiracy theories seriously. We wouldn't want them manipulating our dreams, now, would we?
***Uni secretly has hung a poster of Jordan in her bedroom***
Hello, all!
I cannot believe that Foxtel has bought "What Katy Did Next" and put it on over here, that woman is just a trollop
Yes Uni but I have finished and am ready for my favourite day..........Christmas Eve!!
FM, I am drawing Daleks :)
*gasp*!!!
Vic!!!! Sing for us? :p
VI!!!!11111!!!
I am very worries about these things, Vic. And Happy Hoho!!
Hi Vi!
Vi !!

Is this a good time to say hello?
YAY!
Happy Holidays to all!
LOL Hi Haz!!
Haz, have you been listening at keyholes again?
Oh the cup runneth over again with Haz and Vi!
I must have felt the call of the chat log.
Hi Haz! such timing
Hazaurus! We missed you, could hold still a second please?
Perfect time! Best time! Of all time! Merry Spangle-mas!
*Fetches another couple of bottles.
Hello hello!
I can't read quickly enough - Lori is keeping me apprised of chat. Wine for over here please!
At 70/77 my lunch break is over and I must go play doctor again. Bye all.!
***I <3 Sallly ....***
Lori thats not fare she hasnt had a chance to have het wine yet!
What a fine gathering of babblers beloved.
Yes Peace and happiness this Christmas and lets hope that 2010 is going to be a better one for all of us!

Good luck doctoring, Scrabs, beware the swine ;) **oink**
Bye Scrabbler!
Bye, Scarbbler.
Scrabbler.
Chortle at Merry Spangle-mas
Bye Scrabbler Merry Christmas
Well, she was my Christmas present 9 years ago...
I'm enjoying the end of '09, I must say. The relaxation is immense. I had a bath today, for Pete's sake.
awwww!!!
FM, 2010 gotta', gotta', gotta' be a good thing. :)
Hobbit is a Christmas baby
Aww, that's so cute. What a nice Spangle.
Oh, then Happy Adoption Day, Spangle!
gosh and it's not even your birthday lol
And Hobbit! Oh my!
you betcha Lori!!!!!!
Spangle's lucky to have ya' Haz, except for the obvious neglect.
she was 8 5 days ago!
Happy adoption day spangle and hobbit !!
I can see her fur coming out from here. Her ribs jutting...
She was born in November and first saw her kennel in January/February. The icicles looked very fetching.
LOL Lori
oh don't
So you decided to get her a cone of shame for her Birthday? :D
yep, a special treat
can anyone clue me for the in6/39?
You might at least have decorated the cone of shame, Ata.
in6/39 - in plus a word used for the movement of water
We keep telling her, Sally..
in + opposite of ebb
Haz to the clueing rescue
Put lights on it Ata, and a few ornaments.
thanks all! puzzle done
Congratulations Pinny!
Congrats!
Some fairly lights all round, perhaps?
Well done, Pinny!
Yay for PinnyPoppins!
Congrats Pinny!!
Congrats Pinny!
a happy end to a miserable day
Groan. fairly sb fairy
Yes, you can get those battery fairy lights, can't you?
Any olives left ?? (asking hopefully )
I will, just for a giggle for tomorrow and try and take *1* photo!
Why, have you got my illness, Pinny? Lets all share the misery, shall we.
and we want to see a pic of the results!
*Rummages. Yes, here are some I've been keeping back.
They should be enviro friendly, like Hobbit's activity level charges them somehow.
Hi, i have not played this for over a year, .. dives in
Hobbit is so placid, she'll just sit there and let me do it
i have the flu
*looks sternly at cait* No there are not!
***hands caitlyn a jar of olives***
Thank you Sally, FM has hidden the rest from me
but i still got up early for a job interview that was already rescheduled because of last week's snow
only to miss the interview because my car broke down
G'd afternoon M3
Yes, *do* think of the earth while decorating your dog. :)
FM, holding back on the olives! Tsk tsk.
TY Lori you know who your friends are
Lori, if che throws up it is all your fault
anyway, off to help bathe my niece, so see y'all tomorrow
can anybody clue the sh6?
Thats a shame Pinny
Poor Pinny - NOT a good day. Bye
Just don't be ringing your vet on Christmas Day to announce that Hobbit has swallowed a bauble.
Yeah, she'll give you olives but won't get me any wine! Or rum..
Nuh uh, I'll blame Uni, pas de problem!
bye aunt Pinny
so how do you feel about a trip to FMs next year, Haz?
Bye Pinny see you tomorrow
*Anyone want a lime-stuffed olive?
sh6/21 - begin as with the preceding ledge, but end the word with a baby word of thanks.
I think a trip to FMs would be nice. You can pick me up tomorrow.
umm no thanks Sally
sh 6 sdounds like a nice safe warm place, but said in a way reflective of da' hood ....
I have put the wine in the PB . there is plenty to share Uni..........I bet FM has hidden it LOL
How many can FM fit in?
baby thanks Haz! firewords
Congratulations dan!
Well done, dan!
Good to know, Cait. **off rummaging under dirty clothes and dishes in the pb.**
Congrats dan!!
Huzzah for Dan!
There is wuite a bit of floor space but also some very nice B&Bs that don't cost the earth
Congrats Dan
***randomly lobs ornaments ar FM***
I wanna come!
and Spangle must come too!
I don't know that there would be much sleeping if the lot of you were to get together. Haz would be hiding the liquor, though..
*randomly throws a reindeer at Lori* just cos we can ((())
You must come Vi just to keep some sort of order
**Tosses a carrot so the reindeer does not get hungry
Yikes, watch it with the reindeer, ther, FM. I nearly got an antler in the eye.
well if you have air miles or money you are welcome to come over to the UK
That's right, cait. I am the responsible, sensible one.
*snort*
Boring!
*rummages around for extra air miles or money*
You always have been Vi ((snigger))
***heads to hospital to have reindeer antler gash stitched up properly***
Someone would need to be in charge of food. We're all good at talking about it, but always seem to abandon the plan of actually making some..
Hmm. Coming up empty-handed at the mo'.
we have Haz!
Some nice pubs in FM's area :-)
I'd bring my rubber gloves as well.
Aas it would be at mine I would cook but HAz would be invited to bring her deserts :)
Vic the responsible one? Did someone redefine its meaning?
If Haz does all the cooking, I'll do the mending.
((((((Lori)))))))))) Never mind the hospital I will stich that for you
I'll do the drinking!
maybe Katie McG would come down too!
I could bring the cooking sherry and Emma. She's very helpful
I will do dishes
Thanks cait, again you know who 'yer friends are....
You all impugn my responsibility? I am so offended. So offended, in fact, that I shall throw custard pies at all of you.
Oh just think if it were possible, how much fun it would be
Ohh! I call not dishes! I could walk the dogs.
LOL Vi !!
*ducks and misses all but one pie which I save for later*
A Babble party!
I'll bring Hobbit for the amusement value
Cheeses...someone should bring many cheeses.
Leave the cheeses to the English!
It would have to be someone from the UK - no dairy imports allowed.
We could all put on some fancy gowns...do our makeup (again, a la Jordan) ;D
My Nightshade is very useful - At least, she is whenever you need someone to stare at the birds right outside the window and occasionaly pounce into the glass pane.
DrG has a lot to be thanked for, we would never had met each other if it wasnt for Babble (sorry about my grammer Haz)
Haz -are dogs allowed on any of the ferries over to you?
Probably, but you'd have to leave them in the car. They're not allowed on deck or anything.
that would be ok on the quick boats
Yay Happy Christmas to Dr_God
Hear, hear, caitlyn. To Dr G!
Ah, Dr G! Thank you!
Yes, the quick boats are fairly quick.
Cheers DrG!!
they are well named
I must go and partake of that pesky real world I so carefully avoid. So good to see y'all again, and may your lights not be the only thing lit up this Christmas. :) Have a great day all!
Haz you sounded like Babble Rabble there
Merry Christmas Dr G!
(((Lori)))
bye Lori
Thank you, Dr-G! Thanks to you I have spent countless hours staring at a screen, occasionally screaming, often laughing helplessly.
***bonus hug with a hint of water cannon @ FM***
Bye, Lori. Merry Christmas, if I don't see you again!
Ah Lori, you silly nut. I'm still trying to force her to finish up th Christmas prep.
bye Lorikins!
Bye Lori take care, and if I dont see you Merry Christmas and Happy New Year
Bye Lori, nice to see you again. Be good!
and on the odd occasion pulling your jumper over your head !!!!
Yes, the jumper over the head still makes me blush...
looooool
Jumper? Over head? *looks inquisitive*
oh dear, I just looked round to the saddest sight in the world
Hobbit in a cone looking doleful
one of the best, just like you dear :)
brb she wants her dinner
This sounds like a good party!
It was the mother of all typos in an e-mail, VI. My cheeks are still aflame with the memory.
Hello, hego!
Hi hego help yourself to wine
Poor Hobbit. :-(
and I am going to had to head off too, so need food, was very hungry before I started what I thought was going to be a quick chat
Sure it is, hego. What would you like thrown at you: custard pies, ornaments, reindeer, or olives?
Nice to see you, FM!
Awww, party is ending already. =(
hi Hego
Helping myself to the wine is one of my best talents. :-)
Byeee for now FM.

Is Christmas soon here?
custard pies are okay hego it was when they had the water cannon it got a bit hairy
Oh, Lord.
Rumor has it Christmas is on the 25th, BabbleRabble.
not much of a count down now BabRab
What planet is He on?
BR we talked about this earlier this week -- have you forgotten?
the 25th again? seems like it its the 25th every year
Hi BR !! It has a habit of coming in December every year
probably
uni your icon when it is small looks like a melting face with sunglasses!
Is New years on the first again?
Hi jmc
yepper BR
Yup I think they should change it though
hi hego
Heh, it is instead my kitty drinking my white russian. I can see the sunglasses though!
Uniq !!
p.s... Hey !
Hi Aussie
Hi Aussie !!
Hey Hego !
lol... Hey Hego is not a word !
I realized when I clicked on it that it was a kitty but I thought it was funny enough to tell on me
Cait ! Long time no see... How are you dear ?
Huh?
Never mind. I get it.
Im good thanks Aussie, how are you?
I typed Hey Hego in the add word box :)
Yup, I've done that too.
* Why was the chicken happy? * Everything was eggcellent.
I am good... got me 3 days off work... Only downside is that I have to be at work Boxing Day at midday :(
rofl BabRab ! and Hey !
Hello, Aussie
But when everything was eggonizing then the chicken was sad, i guess.
LOL BR
The chicken was happy because it got to the other side of the road without being squished..
that would be eggcellent too
Hi Haz!
What work do you do Aussie?
Hello, hego!
*glee* I gave Hobbit a CHristmas cone
And eggsiting!
I work for Waitrose Cait.... Chilled Goods In....
I get to skip going to my in-laws on boxing day because the bulk of them have gone to Florida
Haz !! Nice to see you again :)
WHen the chicken got squished it was eggregious.
Picture please Ata!
it didn't sound like a good think ata
hi haz
Hello, Aussie!
I bet you have been busy this week then Aussie
Awwww, that was lovely of you Ata....
jmc, is that a good thing or a bad thing?
VIIIII !!!! Oh Mi Gosh, the gang's all here !
And hello to jmc as well.
pics tomorrow for Christmas Eve :)
it means i can sleep in and that, my dear hego, is a good thing
Oh Cait, have I ever.... I finished last night, and have done 90 hours in a row !
Aussie you have just missed FM
all of this is no eggageration
Sleeping in? *sighs wistfully*
Well, that would have been the gang complete !
**sad to have missed FM**
yikes i accidentally pasted a reply to a soldier in the chog -- but stopped my enter key finger in the nick of time!
And we have just all said our thanks to DrG for bringing us all together in this mad world called babble
poor aussie and vic
The chicken should no be so eggotistical.
hello :-)
Nor so eggocentric.
I didn't miss FM completely, so I am to be envied.
you are all eggasperating
hi katie
Eggzactly, Haz.
Does this chicken know nothing of the recession and the need for eggonomy?
Hi Katie
I suppose since I started this I am a bad eggample
What do you call a chicken's rear end? A mode of eggress.
i may need to eggit the chog!
Someone make it stop!
LOL Hi katie
For once we can blame BabbleRabble instead of FM.
eggsit!
But it's been very eggucational.
We're only yolking, jmc
Time to go - husband's home with food!
Toodle-oo!
ROFL
but I guess pretty much all hens eggsit.
man the hunter lol
LOL :-D
bye haz!
Farewell, FM! Enjoy food!
Yum.... Bye Haz, Happy Eating :)
Bye Haz see you tomorrow enjoy supper
I guess I'd better wander off, too. *mutters something about serious work to be done*
I thought FM had already gone?
HObbit is now trying to eat the tinsel *sigh*
No sense of style, obviously, Ata.
my previous cat ate tinsel eewww
And me Vi, cooking to do ..........great time today with everyone, see you all tomorrow.To those I miss Merry Christmas to you and your families,see you soon.Bye
she's trying to hide her cone of shame
Silverclaw is looking on in astonishment
I been doing some chocolate-rice-krispie-cake making with Georgia this afternoon.....
the tinsel was around the Cone of Shame for Christmas pics, Katie :)
poor humiliated hobbit x
well, jmc, at least the parcel would have been gift-wrapped when it came out the other end :)
{{Hobbit}}
I will not go until someone says good bye to me :(
I'm going some champagne drinking and chocolate eating with hubby :-)
BYE CAITY!

Merry Christmas To All, and to All, a Good Babble !!
HO HO HO!
phantom : antlers
my phantom is grinch... LOL
I am so proud of myself... I am completely bought, wrapped, and ready to go! It is a banner year.
My house is even spotlessly clean!
woo Mom2 !
Reindeer antlers, presumably, Aussie?
YAAAYYY!!! for mom
I would say so Soodle :)
Thanks Hego... I don't know whether to be happy or whether to worry that it may be a sign that I will be hit by a truck tomorrow, LOL! It really is out of character for me, all of this organization.
Be happy, mom!
No, I am... I was only joking!
And wear clean knickers in case you're hit by a truck as well.
Sally! LOL
ROFL Sally!!
It's very stress reducing to be organized.
Yes... I will keep that in mind Sally!
It is Hego... I had always heard that it was... just never experienced it for myself!
Well, now you tried it.
I kinda like it... I think I will keep it up, LOL!
You can goback to normal now. ;-)
It was my LAST year's new year's resolution... better late than never.
Good Work
Thanks. Many years ago, BC (before children) I used to be organized... I think now that my daughter is older I have the time to be so again...
I was always VERY organized, but now that I'm older, I just don't give a rat's a**! LOL
And there's no guilt either!
OMG Hego... I don't give a rat's a** is my FAVORITE expression... I use it all the time!
:-)
Now that I am older I feel I have earned the right not give a rat's a** about many, many things!
It will only get better.
Something to look forward to then! Cool.
Hi all....any clues please for na4...and na5 please?
Innocent ones, Flask
speaking of rats' a's, anybody want a used husband?
Na + ** I were a rich man
no thanks ruby
Thanks, but I have my own.
Hi Ruby. That sounds dire!
thanx Hego!
yw, Flask
Mine is now fully housebroken after 20 years...
what's the secret?
Ruby - I wouldn't take one, if he came with a big bag of money!! This is our third Christmas without my used (useless) husband, and we are looking forward to a peaceful, quiet and relaxed time!!
Whips and chains
witholding food and other creature comforts... LOL!
dare I ask what he has done ruby?
mom, I like the way you think.
Every once in a while I go on strike.... seriously.
nothing new, unfortunately, but it just spirals on down.....
{{{{{hugs}}}}}}
That's too bad Dear.
thanks hego... right back at ya!
Well Ruby I will admit that my husband is just a normal guy who does annoying normal guy stuff... never any really serious issues... if things are more than that where you are I am sorry if I sounded flip...
no, I'm sorry for being such a whiner
They high five. Slap!
it was just a bad day
~Ruby - I 4/7 for you. But Babble is a great place to moan. Loads of sympathic ears!
It's okay to whine sometimes! It is also perfectly reasonable to have a bad day!
Not whining, Ruby venting and that's okay. Healthy, even.
thank you all
No problem... at least you have this lovely grid as a diversion!
lol, ruefully
Actually it is not a bad one today... better than yesterday... but I always complain about the grid, LOL!
i'm still so new at this that I couldn't complain
I'm a scrabbler
Is that a game? Or is it just scrabble?
new rule... all complaining must be done in grid words only... preferably bigun's
LOL kje!
lexulous blitz - 4-minute games - very competitive but fun
good idea, kje
Oh, I like lexulous... my sister's and I play via email.
If your a word-addict, your gonna love Babble, Ruby. And the Babblers ain't bad either!!
oops... meant sisters... my sister does not own an "and"....
soodle is that an irish flag?
Sure is, Ruby.
bbl.... phone!
how do you get your flag next to your name?
You pay a once-off fee, and you get to put you pic up, and your flag, and you get to see the tile stats.
aha
Where are you?
kje, are you in7ing random rules again?
merry christmas everybody; it's off to bed for me. I'm in France in the mountains, but american
hi and good night, ruby

dance dance dance
OMG that noise was across the hall!
hallelujah, they left!
everyone okay?
seemingly. it wasn't angry noisy.
good
sounded more like heated friendly disagreement.
based on tone of voice, as my arabic not strong enough to get most of it.
anyone use the GiftBox website ^
no, what's that?
It is in the list above babble as "Our other websites"
it seems to be a system to keep track of gifts
where is that link? I do not see it
oh, up top
i rarely have that part visible
at the very very top
that's a neat concept
i have been playing with it and can see it would help me keep track of things --
perhaps eliminate the buying of two gifts or too much or duplicate from year before
oh, i have tons of Google Wave invites if anyone wants one. http://wave.google.com
what's a google wave?
ooooh, good point jmc. does it let you note where you stored it?
it's sort of like MS Sharepoint, but you can share within or without your org, even share a single document in a wave to external client, while keeping most comments internal.
crossy is back;)) had to go get a nice bottle of appleton estates special reserve 12 year old dark spiced rum:)
doesn't seem to do that but that would be a nice addition
for the egg nog of course;))
yummy, crossy
Hi Crossy!
nice crossy be sure to save some for the nog
hehe
howdy hego
it does look like it could help me keep the costs down by seeing what I am spending
i figure half a cup of nog to a quart of rum should cover it
neat, jmc
running a budget jmc?
i'd go with half-and-half, crossy
Bacon flavored, Crossy?
now I may have to check out the other sites
playing with the giftbox website from above -- but always on a budget
i tend to run my budget at 150% percent of expendetures to my income:/
bacon flavored rum blech! :-P
lol soodles,even i would not add bacon to this rum
sooommmme rum!
probably in a baloon glass with a single ice cube
I tried the 150% budgetry strategy, but the nasty man at the bank got a big scissors, and chopped up all my lovely flexible friends.
ice in your rum?
lol@ flexible friends
better him than the judge soodle
a single cube jmc,it releases all the aromas
hmm i would think a candle would do that better
lol,by the time i kight the candle,the rum is gone:)
light
we found bacon-flavored lip balm at a store two weeks ago.
lol
lol dc;) im chewing on a piece of bacon flavoured bubble gum as we speak
anything would taste better than bubble-gum flavored bubble gum, IMHO
and im steeping up a batch of bacon vodkas right now;) should be done by christmas
dc, I saw some of that bacon lipbalm, at a store in Durham
i look forward to the report. what kind did you use, and cooked or not?
nifty, beach
surely it has to be cooked bacon
ONly 2 left. the tr5's. Monkeys exhausted. Pant,pant
dc,i use half a pound of crunchy bacon bits to 2 litres of vodka
go hego go!
steep for a week or more..3 weeks is better
and strain through cheesecloth
huh. will have to share with tom. add some tomato maybe for a blt-like experience
or use it in bloody marys :)
lol
no lettuce? ;-)
now you got it!!
Finally! Firewoks.
yaa for hego
bloody with boston leaf garnish
bacon vodka bloody marys sound great
Some vodka of any flavor please Crossy.
whoo hoo hego!
congrats, hego
Yay Hego! Well done
*hands hego a glass of lemon flavored vodka over ice*
Oh, Lordy jmc, that sounds heavenly!!
lol nevermind that pop..my bacon vodka is 45% alcohol;))
I gots taste in booze
You sure do, my lass!
i'll attest to JMC's assertion
i use a thrice distilled russian vodka
That's 90 proof, Crossy.
indeed
Everybody has a talent DC
good for drinking,washing stains off floors,or cleaning carberators
Don't waste it on that stuff
seems like a waste on car grease
indeed,i dole out the bacon vodka sparingly
Crossy, have you ever heard of a blt martini?
had to check,my vodka base is prince igor extra,blue label
indeed i have hego
aaAAAHHHHHH! why am I still at the office!
we actually have a martini/sushi bar in town
Fireworks for Soodle, (which is pretty amazing, as I am almost drunk by osmosis!
congrats, soodle
lol soodles
whoo hooo soodle!
Congrats Soodle, my love!
Crossy did you get my question?
Heading off now. If I miss any of you tomorrow - May you all have the happiest of Christmas's, and may all your wishes come true. XX
yes,answered at 2:32 hego
You too Soodle
happy christmas and good night, soodle
Sorry I missed it.
I should have known you did.
its a nice place,but i have problems sucking back raw seafood when i have 4 matini,s floating in my tummy
That's the only way I could suck back raw seafood!
martinis
bye soodle
i prefer raw seafood
Can't do it.
sorry i like my squid and octopus cooked
i don't like the texture of raw or rare seafood. were it eat it raw or starve, i would. but with a choice, not.
st5 with ceviche and work up hego
If one must eat sqid and octopus.
ceviche is tasty. but the acids break the texture up in a way that doesn't happen with sushi nor with rare cooking.
I like seviche. It's okay
calamari is amazing hego,lightly battered rings deep fried and a bit of pepper and a squeeze of lemon..yum!!
ceviche
dc could you send me an invite to google wave -- it looks like it would be helpful
Actually I do eat calamari. Italian, you know.
i'll need an email addy, jmc. you can email me at my handle here gmail com
sokay i wont hold it against you :))))
I just don't think of it as squid. lol
okie-doke
Smacks Crossy upside the head.
i worked in a itallian bakery with about 30 calabreze,it was an experience ill never forget
We don't count the Calabrese.
lol
O sicilians
how can you not count them? they are shouting and screaming all the time lol
*dances a little scottish jig while the italians work it out*
now the scots... lol
Actually, Sicilians don't consider themselves Italian. Just ask them.
jig jig jig
Are you Scottish then, Lass?
i dont diss the scots,they make too fine a whiskey
nearly pure blooded even though at least 6 generations in the U.S.
Hubby and sil are Scots. My favorite guys.
that small cask single malt stuff...mmmm
jmc, invite should arrive in 24 or so hours
ty dc
no rush I will continue to play with giftbox
Crossy, have you ever met a booze you didn't like?
i hate all the syrupy stuff,dont get me wrong,im not a lush,but i do apreciate fine spirits
afta'noon all
howdy jes
i am fairly sure i am not a lush ;-)
Hi jes

we celebrate both Hanukah and Xmas.. then Jake's birthday is Jan 8th
I am sorry it is a mess. .
it is usually hard to give notice because people get grumpy about it when you leave
It could be worse! I just hope the move results in a promotion etc in the future and not more of the same....
too many people quitting right now which is a problem for the director, but he sort of created it...
I will hold good thoughts for you
ty tor
TY DR. and thanks also TOrg, I needed both!

i dont know if any of you would find this helpful but here is a interesting anagram dictionary for help with those tough babble clues:)) http://www.orchy.com/dictionary/anagra ms.htm
Crossy!
Scrabbler and Cross!
dr;)))
No snow, I'm good without, and its mildly warmer.
howdy red;))

Hi Jacq
jacq!
we had 4 inches of snow at 2 am this morning and when i woke at 6 it was all gone because it rained
we have all our ski hills open:)
Ooooh. We have thnderstorms on the forcast.
Is business good Cross?
well.... so so
americans are not getting the bang for thier buck that they once did..no more 2 for 1 sales lol
the ski hills are open here too the lecht etc, unfortunately the access roads are closed because of snow
Thats terrible jac!
Could I have some clues for the 2 Y words?
ironic
Oh never mind
sure red,,ye** on me,when your not strong.. and pl
As soon as I asked, I found, ahhh well.
the issue isn't really the snow it's the ice it's so cold the grit is freezing and it's all compacting
we had ice in the mountains today
lol,intawest would lick our roads clean if that is what it took to get the tourists to the hills lol
intrawest*
unfortunately highlands and islands council has over 1400 miles of road to clear and has to prioritise it's just a small council with a small budget fewer people residing and a huge area to cover
Great web site, Crossy! I bookmarked it.
Does Elmer Fudd pay intawest on his caw woan?
: )
Ahhh, I have grayed the right hand column. yay

scrab - how are you feeling? just morning sickness or is that kid keeping you ill all day?
Just morning sickness, kje---no more puking, but I am so tired.

WOW - How did I miss that news???
wow
kje is spreading rumors, I believe in a way.
congrats scrabbler!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ah, you guys must have missed the chog this morning
scrab wasn't feeling well
lost her brekfast
i was grandchild annoying this morning then i was teasing her with loplops
Sorry, I got paged AGAIN! 3 times in last 30 min!
red, how can I spread rumors when scrab is right there?
tis the season
Oh no, I meant to write, "this is how rumors get started"....you know...
scwabbs!! you got da bun in da oven??
This morning while Babbling I suddenly felt nauseated, ran off to the loo and puked. The joke = morning sickness. Funny part = I am no oven (removed several years ago) and I have a lived a nun's life.
LOL
I am dorry you do not feel well
lol
* I have no oven
or Sorry
Feel better now??
yes, puking is the worst! hopefully it has passed
I have been very tired today, but no more nausea or puking
me neither scrabbler lost mine when i was 26
my better half also has an oven no more,sadly it messed up her innards;(
Puking is bad.
DR, are you sorry that I puked or that I have lived a nun's life? I suspect that in a former life I was a hooker.
SOrry you are SICK... Coworker was barfing in the trashcan on Monday
I have an oven... but no match
lol kje
I called her husband and then got out the Lysol wipes
DR that sounds liek a bad day at work, I'd really want to work at home after that.
Well, my innards were a mess before I had my parts removed--took 4 operations to get things out, adhesions, cysts, etc
exactly- which is why I am home
Poor kje.
same with my mrs scrabbs,it messed up the coating on her intestines,now everything sticks together in there and what lube there is goes into little calcified balls;((
kje, I imagine you have a lot of match opportunities, but they arent good enough.
BBS--switching to netbook so that I can watch the Sabres vs Capitals
I have my parts but sometimes wish I didnt
its been a tough road..sigh...
nope... just useless flint, red...

ty all, i'm off to rest my dense brain
go scrabs!
hiya lbd
night night, python
ru, i went and looked at baskets to attach to the back of the quads so the pups can ride when they're tired ... spoiled rotten :)
decided against them for the time being, since i can't figure out a way to get them in there and convince them to stay
Scrabs might go to bed very soon. I am writing my grocery list for shopping tomorrow after work. I think that I will make vegetable lasagne for Xmas dinner.
You have puppies, welki?
your pupsters run out of energy? hard to believe, welki
veggie lasagna... ::drool::
sounds delish, scrabs
gtg.. playing cribbage w/ my sis & dad
happy holidays!
*poof*
happy holidays to you too, Kanet
Bye Kanet. Merry Christmas!
well, they're not really pups, they're both about 3 yrs old, but "young at heart" ... and no, they don't seem to run out of energy, i'm just afraid they'll overdo it and strain something (bax was pretty sore on sunday)
So, I need lasagne noodles, ricotta, mozzarella, spinach, carrots, zucchini...what else?
i haven't decided what to have tomorrow night or for xmas dinner. guess i should probably give it some thought
what kind of sauce are you going to use? white or tomato?
tomatoes or tomato sauce? italian bread? parmesan/romano?
Tomato sauce. Garlic bread.
provolone
shrooms?
Provolone is my favorite but I have never used it in lasagne--I will substitute that for mozzarella
i use mozz as well as provolone. use the prov as the topping cheese. it melts and crusts up so nicely!
ar5/10 please and hi all
ohhh, i miss good provolone .. auricchio was my favorite
Yes! *putting psychedelic shrooms on shopping list...wondering how my parents will react...adolescent nephews will be thrilled...

Hi all. I'm awake far too late and hope that Beloved and Step will clean the sitting room for me later. Step is at the clumsy stage of the teen years though, so I fear breakages. I'd do it myself if this virus that's had me in its grip for a month now would let go of me. I have cooking to do later, not meat, meal and guest realted, these are desset nibbles I want to do. Turkey had to be cooked yesterday as it defrosted rather quicker than we expected. Beloved's done that and made his stock for gravy now.
And I'm still not capable of typing properly, I see. reading back.
I cleaned 2 bathrooms, 3 bedrooms and a hall and landing earlier, plus quarter of a kitchen.
Well, never mind. No one's here anyway.
I just got here, Jac -- you shouldn't work so hard when you're ailing.
Hi jac, hope you get better, all i have to do is make a pie!
I don't have to do anything but pack and catch a ferry tomorrow, then pay for some wine.
I can do some clueing if needed -- finished last night.
Even signing in here, or even backin seems like a eal fatigue, though it normally takes seconds to do.
Well, no response so I'll do something else and check back near fliptime.
Oh, hi again, jac -- but maybe you should be in bed!
Jilli - thanks for the snail mail card, received today and much appreciated.
I only signed back in to thank you for the card, jilli. Now I will go to bed.xx
sorry about the "Buckingham" instead of Birmingham!
G'night Jac -- have a good Christmas.
