12:35 am

when using a meat thermometer, at what temp do you remove your standing rib from oven? (big family discussion)

12:35 am

Merry Christmas ML

ty dart, me 2

12:35 am

130 for med. rare

12:36 am

140 for just slightly warmer

k, ty... some thot that was too low (everyone is on a meat safety kick)

12:36 am

I pull it out at 125 and let it continue cooking our ot the oven

up to what temp then ru?

12:37 am

we cooked ours at 500 F for 25 minutes, then 200 for the rest of the time.

12:37 am

with foil over it.

12:37 am

that's how I do it too vash

stand for 15 minutes?

12:37 am

10 minutes

ty vash

12:38 am

I like my meat a little rarer though

k... every place we looked (cookbooks, online, etc) everyone uses such different temps for the 1st 20 minutes and even for the rest of the time

and definitely different for meat thermometer temp... guess you just have to keep trying them til you find one everyone loves

12:39 am

yeah...we looked up one that stayed at 325 for the whole time

12:39 am

i m no judge- i like mi meat well done

or cook 2 small ones (one rarer than the other)

I'm closer to you sammysmom than as rare as my daughter likes it

12:39 am

i love mine med rare...more rare than med.

12:40 am

mein

most of my family does, too... "take the moo out" lol

12:40 am

yours?

hubby took ours out at about 135; put foil over for almost 15 minutes

12:41 am

that should have been well done

it was great, but daughter would have liked it rarer... pink in middle

12:42 am

i have one daughter that loves meat brown or black and the other likes it bloody

8 plus pounds I think

that makes it tough vash

12:42 am

we let the younger one put hers in the microwave to cook it further

we are just learning to cook standing ribs, so it will take us awhile I think

smart

lyn.. what was so odd about his aunt was...

on Tuesday they told the family not to expect her to make it ... then...

in 24 hours after the antibiotics finally hit the pneumonia, everything turned around... that enabled them to do the heart cath and correct the other problem

it amazed us how much could happen medically in 24 hours

3:24 am

It is fantastic..but i am sure a lot depends on the person as well, Aunt must have some good genes in there

good morning everyone and merry christmas to all!

7:56 am

Hi Crossy!

7:56 am

scwabby!

7:59 am

*finding words & typing away*

7:59 am

crossy envisions plump bunnys hopping around wearing little santa caps

8:00 am

Good idea, Cross. I wi4 do that to them later.

8:01 am

crossy sm5/12,s

8:01 am

I wi4 make 2 huge pans of veggie lasagne and all Babblers are invited--should be ready at 2 or so. Dessert = various pies + ice cream.

8:02 am

TY for the clue

8:02 am

for the evil carnivores i have a golden honey ham,bacon and cheddar scalloped taters,cornbread stuffing,corn and for dessert some custard canolis

8:05 am

I'l have the stuffing--yummy!

8:09 am

Nephew just awoke--he is going to spend most of the day with his father + father's family, then return here at 6.

8:10 am

8:11 am

Wow, what is your secret? Broth? Seasonings?

8:12 am

any help with the il 5 please

8:12 am

more sick, inge. and merry christmas all

8:12 am

Guten Morgen, Inge! And Doren!

8:12 am

my grandaughter has chicken pox, but fortunately she is NOT il*** today

8:12 am

as an added bonus,it clears the system right out the next day;)

8:13 am

Does she really, Doren?

8:13 am

thanks, dorens, thought I tried that

8:13 am

Uh, oh, Crossy? Do you put a laxative in there?

8:13 am

lol

8:14 am

she really does, scrabbs. kind of surprising. She was here last weekend, and played nicely with ken's grandsons... they are fine. now she's at her other grandparents with a house full of cousins. and baby levi... sad

8:15 am

If she had the vaccine then this wi4 be a very mild illness. If not, it could be worse. Levi, at 5 mo, may or may not have remaining antibodies from mama.

8:15 am

Are all other family members immune?

8:16 am

hi, babblers! merry christmas morning!

8:16 am

oh, catching up - chicken pox? sorry to hear that doren

8:16 am

Hi JBV!

8:16 am

well he is still nursing, and i'm hoping mama has enough antibodies. she was vaccinated, and i assume others were too... but if she could get it, i guess anyone could??? jeremy is more worried about elvi than anyone else

8:16 am

howdy jbv,merry christmas to you

8:16 am

you can make a lot of sketchy words today (that don't count)

8:16 am

hi jbv... yes, poor little phoebe... but she seems to be past the fever, and hopefully won't itch too much

8:17 am

well hursh, with 279, i'm guessing we can make a lot that Do count

8:17 am

Hi hurshy

8:17 am

scrabbler, did Santa leave something for the bunnies?

8:18 am

hi

8:20 am

I bought a bag of orchard grass and gave each bunny a pile of that to gobble up. There are various hays/grasses for bunnies: timothy, bunny brome, orchard grass, oat hay...

8:20 am

crossy i want some of your scalloped taters

8:20 am

lol dorens,there is lots to go round;)

8:20 am

and scrabbler's veggie lasagna too

8:20 am

Oxbow Animal Health in Nebraska = my source for bunny foods

8:21 am

i make them often cause they are my mrs favorites

8:21 am

is that dried grass, scrabbler? I didn't know about that

8:21 am

ken is making this huge prime rib roast, and i'm not a beef lover.. but he does make great stuffed potatoes with turkey bacon, red onions and mushrooms.. i'll eat two of those!

8:21 am

we have a tradition (from Puerto Rico) that children leave grass out on Jan. 5 for the camels of the 3 Kings - I used to use plastic Easter basket grass!!!

8:21 am

i love the sound of timothy... didn't peter rabbit like that?

8:22 am

I am going to make 2 large pans of the lasagne! Spinach, zucchini, carrots, mushrooms

8:22 am

I would have bought the real thing if I had only known

8:22 am

timothy? in Peter Rabbit? doesn't sound familiar, doren

8:22 am

no, i guess not. in my little girl mind they did sort of go together..

8:22 am

Peter Rabbit stole onions from Mr MacGregor's garden.

8:23 am

somehow i knew about timothy and liked it (the idea, not the actual grass)

8:23 am

onions? hmmm.. i'll have to check my peter rabbit...

8:24 am

I used to know exactly on which shelf to find it - unfortunately after moving/packing/unpacking, etc. I no longer have instant book-locator ability

8:25 am

i already gave all my beatrix potter books to phoebe..

8:26 am

for those who are interested: http://wiredforbooks.org/kids/beatrix/ p17.htm

8:27 am

I found my Italian book of Peter Rabbit but not my English one. La Storia del Coniglietto Pietro.

8:27 am

how nice, scrabbler!

8:28 am

terrific thanks jbv

8:28 am

scrabbler, that is a good way to learn the language!

8:28 am

Peter also has an adventure in The Tale of Benjamin Bunny.

8:28 am

we used to read and reread all those wonderful little stories - mrs. tiggywinkle, etc. -

8:29 am

Yes, and I want to buy some paralle Italian-English books soon.

8:29 am

I love Miss Potter's drawings and have framed pix over my fireplace and in my downstairs' bunny room.

8:30 am

scrabbler, I've done that, try to read the Italian first, see how much I can understand, then read the english, go back and forth, it works!

8:31 am

yes, her artwork is beautiful! squirrel nutkin was one of my favorites

8:32 am

I have many of her drawings framed and on walls in that room, along with a poster of Miss Potter herself, with a brief biography.

8:32 am

scrabbler, i think we could start a babble Beatrix Potter fan club

8:32 am

More coffee for anyone? I am going into the kitchen.

8:32 am

i'm not surprised scrabbler.. i do love her pictures... looking at the pages from the website jbv posted... i get lost in them

8:33 am

May I be president of that club, JBV? In the past I had real bunnies named Peter Rabbit and Benjamin Bunny. I miss them. Now I have Miss Bea (Beatrix Potter).

8:33 am

yes to the coffee thanks... i just finished my last drop, but I probably should go for some actual food

8:33 am

voted by acclamation!

8:33 am

agreed

8:34 am

doren, i still think it's amazing that you can everything online now - but I will still do a search for my book - nothing can replace the feel of those well-thumbed pages

8:35 am

*can find everything*

8:35 am

I am a bibliophile!

8:35 am

Here is the coffee!

8:36 am

every so often i want a recipe from a cookbook, but haven't figured out how to find what i'm looking for --- and thanks for the coffee.. nice and warm

8:36 am

wire

8:36 am

*father is on the phone*

8:36 am

I wish computers came with smell-o-rama ... some people's kitchens would be heavenly

8:36 am

just checked that website again - it has all the stories

8:36 am

Hi Lance + Christa

8:37 am

good morning scrabbler

8:38 am

ack, how are we ever suppose to find which things can be mis- and which can't!

8:41 am

trial and error (mistrial)

Or re- or -ier

8:42 am

8:42 am

9:01 am

same to you jane

9:01 am

sure jbv, always

9:01 am

Hi Jane

9:01 am

Yes, of course, JBV!

9:01 am

during the summer basement renovation project, I came across my mother's 50's chair/stool - you know the one, they're selling retro copies now - and moved it into the garage for future repair/rehabilitation

9:02 am

aaaaaack! *runs screaming from gift stories*

9:02 am

then forgot about it, of course, in the flurry of the project

9:02 am

*placing Hurshy on strait jacket and administering Haldol 10 mg IM*

9:02 am

then last night hubby comes in with a GIGANTIC box - he had the chair totally refurbished, new upholstery, cleaned the chrome, etc. ...... AND

9:03 am

oh how sweet (even before the and is complete)

9:03 am

is that going to interact with my zoloft and klonopin?

9:03 am

had the center metal "button" on the back, engraved with Mom's name (that chair is 60 years old)

9:03 am

Nope, Hursh, some people are on all 3 meds or even more.

9:03 am

ohhhhhhhhhhh cool

9:03 am

Merry Christmas all!

9:03 am

ok, hursh, you can breathe now, story's over

9:03 am

obviously hurshy needs Bailey's Irish Creme, not Haldol....

9:03 am

Wow, JBV! What a thoughtful + caring husband!

9:14 am

9:14 am

to you too hego

9:14 am

what are you putting in the frittata doren?

9:14 am

MC

9:14 am

Merry Christmas to you too

9:14 am

Hi Hego!

9:14 am

I am going to have pancakes for breakfast--who would like some?

9:16 am

aspragus, red onion and goat cheese.... want some?

9:16 am

should i add sundried tomatoes?

9:16 am

Le5 as in plural of Mr Walesa?

9:16 am

i'll share scrabs... would like one pancake for dessert

9:16 am

I'll have a pancake!

9:16 am

I just had some homemade potato latkas for breakfast...so I'm full

add the tomato - it'll look festive

a festive frittata

9:17 am

Yum latkes

9:17 am

that's what i thought pini... plus i love the flavor... but never have added them to omelets or frittatas before

9:17 am

I bought a box of generic pancake mix at Aldi's and these are the best pancakes ever! Fluffy, delicious!

9:17 am

i love latkes, but never had them for breakfast

9:17 am

sounds delicious, doren - enjoy

9:17 am

*doing the halfway dance*

9:17 am

More work than I expected, but good

9:18 am

i just heard a tip scrabbler, to add a tiny bit of vanilla extract to pancake batter..have you ever done that?

i love latkes too, but aren't you about a week late for that treat...?

9:18 am

latkes are always good... problem is that i can't stop eating them!!

9:18 am

I started using vanilla soymilk, Doren. Maybe that is the secret.

9:18 am

I heard that if you add lemon juice to pancake batter it makes them fluffier

9:18 am

never too late for latkes

9:18 am

sounds about right

9:19 am

I can eat latkes any time :)

9:19 am

oh lemon juice? that's a new one... don't know if i'd have the nerve to try it though

9:19 am

"smore" is not accepted! Blasphemy!

9:19 am

i used to eat latkes any time... back when i wasn't 30 pounds overweight

it's just amusingly subversive to start christmas day with a chanukah food

9:19 am

I haven't tried it myself but had pancakes made with it last week

9:19 am

:)

9:20 am

At 145/134 I must make the pancakes, clean the kitchen, then get going with lasagne prep!

9:20 am

I shall return here often!

9:20 am

I'm a rebel

9:20 am

not really, they're an eastern European dish.

9:20 am

have fun, scrabbler

Merry Christmas everyone - my daughter gave me ProBabble for Christmas - found out when I signed on this morning! Must spend tomorrow finding a photo for an icon.

10:02 am

y/w. *Grins*

10:03 am

popping in to wish you all a very Merry Christmas (-:

10:03 am

hi Aloy and Merry Christmas to you

10:03 am

*Picks up pen and pad and disappears in direction of Christmas presents.* P O O F!

10:04 am

ty, flosey.. special to be with 27 mos old granddaughter.. (-:

10:04 am

Finished ... whew ... and it's still morning here.

10:04 am

wow, congrats, Merk! will be a while for me

10:05 am

I got up early and tried to stick with it for the most part before everyone else got up.

10:05 am

It is a relatively easy, though long, grid. Not so many unusual words.

10:05 am

good move!

10:07 am

me 8 clue anyone?

10:07 am

good morning as well

10:08 am

Have a wonderful holiday in whatever you do, everyone. I am snowbound at my daughter's house and we're hoping to use the Jeep to get my son's family picked up for dinner ... but the drifts are 3 foot deep in places between here and there.

10:08 am

hi ruru

10:08 am

me 8 starts with the first 3 letters of the me 4,5 below it.

10:09 am

Then add the same vowel to those three letters.

10:09 am

End with two very common alternate spellings of words commonly seen here.

10:09 am

ooh, good luck, Merk.. hope everyone can gather for dinner; hope the snow crews clear the roads for you

10:09 am

There are two me 8 words.

10:10 am

No, snow crews are doing all they can do to keep emergency routes to hospitals open. We both live on very secondary residential streets.

10:11 am

Merk, are you snowed in, where do you live?

10:12 am

thank you merk

10:12 am

ty, Merk.. two 8's from your clues (-:

10:14 am

I also need help on the me 7 too

Merry Christmas all.

10:14 am

Merry Christmas

10:15 am

same to you, sixty and vash

10:15 am

First things first. Merry Christmas to all.

10:15 am

bbl.. found a few.. ty Merk for the clues.. poof

10:15 am

Hello again. The pancakes were delicious. I have plenty for everyone.

10:16 am

Merk you're in SD, you must really be socked in

hello again and merry christmas all

10:16 am

No snow in Buffalo Scrabs?

10:16 am

merk, about that ME 8 clue... when you say "add the same vowel" do you mean add the same vowel as is the second letter of the word?

10:16 am

The Northwest to cloudy with a little blue sky beginning to appear. Winds calm and temperatures in mid-thirties. House cozy and turkey in the oven.

10:16 am

Oh, yes, it is white here in the country, but Buffalo has little left.

10:17 am

different vowell bernice

10:17 am

ok

10:18 am

No, the fourth letter in both me 8 words is a vowel, the same vowel in both, but not the e.

10:18 am

me8 clues went right over my head

10:19 am

i had to go to morewords to get it, too, scrabbler

10:19 am

*going to resources*

10:24 am

OK, I have me8 x 2, re8, sc8, sh8 and sw8. Anybody know the other 8?

10:26 am

i have two SW8s

10:27 am

And bottom i is my last blank tile

10:27 am

Fireworks here!

10:27 am

TY, Miss Q. I am looking. Congrats Mudd!

10:27 am

i from the bottome is something you would purchase, a single thing

10:28 am

WTG Mudd

10:28 am

I miss the it4 frequently!

10:28 am

both SW8s build on words that add affixes

10:28 am

one is like moonshine, and the other is the sound fabric makes when it blows in the wind

10:29 am

any clue for the RE8?

10:29 am

I have the moonshine word and am thinking of fabric sounds in the wind now

10:29 am

S + make a **** on a star

10:30 am

re8 = pl of re7 = chopped pickles placed on hot dogs

10:30 am

tx scrabbler

10:30 am

TY, Q. I never noticed the ish ending yet

10:31 am

well, that should produce a lot of words for you now

10:31 am

TY, Q!

10:31 am

if anyone else has a clue to the ME 8, i would consider it a christmas gift

10:32 am

me too Bernice, didn't get the others

10:32 am

a hint for the sc8, please

10:32 am

merry christmas everyone!

10:32 am

2 me8's differ by 1 letter only, tough to clue

10:32 am

bothe me's sound like metals

10:32 am

sc8 = crazier, nuttier, wackier

10:32 am

ty bichon

10:33 am

me8 = cantaloupe is a ***on + vowel + either li4 or ni4

10:33 am

ty scrabsl

10:33 am

ty scrabbler, that did it

10:33 am

Hi Flosey, Jen + Bichon!

10:34 am

8's are done for me and I need 12 more 7's

10:34 am

the same here, scrabbler

10:34 am

I have 2 me's, 2 sw's, a re, a sc, what is the other 8?

10:34 am

SH 8

10:34 am

How is the bunny Christmas

10:34 am

sh8 = more of an exoskeleton, as with a crustacean

10:35 am

ty Bernice

10:35 am

thanks Scrabbs, finally got the me8s

10:35 am

Bunnies enjoyed special gift of orchard grass, and their usual morning salads. They are sleepy heads all day and come to life again at dusk

10:35 am

8's are done, ty again Scrabs

10:36 am

Yay for having 8s done!

10:36 am

here too, and thanks everyone for great clues

10:36 am

anyone have the me 7?

10:36 am

Bisky went out with us for his Christmas hike and later will partake is some holiday ham [okay not exactly on the diet for an elderly heart dog]

10:36 am

no ruru

10:37 am

nor I ru, sorry

10:37 am

No me7 here. ((Ruru)) How are you, my buddy?

10:38 am

that's the one M I cannot find

10:38 am

From which M, do you know?

10:38 am

I am fine scrabs..sorry I missed the pancakes.

10:38 am

I have plenty of pancakes that can be nuked

10:39 am

the ME 7 must come from the M in the second row

10:39 am

it does..

10:40 am

me 7 - me + the sun also *****

10:40 am

hi again-

10:40 am

i only have four Ns and no other N words seem possible.

10:41 am

TY, JBV..I was just looking through the dictionary

10:41 am

10:46 am

I forgot that I bought oven-ready lasagne noodles--I don't have to boil them first

10:47 am

i'll have to stop with 75 left. good luck all and merry/happy holidays

10:47 am

Scrabs did you read about the pediatrician in Delaware who was arrested for pedophia. Very grim story

10:47 am

*pedophilia

10:48 am

Nope, but sad when anyone harms kids...or animals...or any being

10:48 am

11:13 am

sorry my niece called -- peaceful is not the word that comes to mind but pleasant

11:14 am

Sounds perfect Soodle. We are now into Boxing Day here

woke up this morn and it was raining. but there's still some old snow lying around

11:14 am

sounds nice soodle

11:14 am

Snow is a huge novelty here, Gwen. Very Bing Crosbie!!

we have melted the plaent and made it snow in ireland. woot! (sarcasm, buddies)

11:17 am

Greetings all!

sillier!! is not in the grid

hi there Grinchgal lol

11:18 am

*quick msg to science .. you beat me to it*

11:18 am

hi Science - Merry Xmas

11:18 am

hi welki and science

hmmmm, no clues today, huh?

11:19 am

no clues, then i will never finish this one! lol

11:20 am

ARB put list on BabAnon

checking the babble anon site . . .

11:20 am

clues on BabAnon...Merry, Merry everyone!

11:20 am

someone posted on babble anon

11:20 am

hi Phae!

11:20 am

hi phae merry right back at you

11:21 am

I always thought that babanon was were babble junkies went to get off the habit..

11:21 am

but it's not addictive!

11:21 am

I swear!

11:22 am

(nods head)

11:22 am

uh -huh

11:22 am

*sure it isn't*

11:22 am

*mutters* it's not

we can allquit any time we wanna. we just don' wanna. so there.

11:23 am

exactly book

clues are on the babblers anon page, second topic from the top, far right

11:23 am

I think quitting cigarettes would be easier than babble

11:23 am

nope. i've done both. quitting cigarettes is harrrrd

11:24 am

interestingly enough a heroin addict that my husband was representing said it was easier to git up heroin than cigarettes

11:24 am

plus those little green and yellow patches for your arm are ugly

11:24 am

I could use a sw5 of something....

11:24 am

i have a close friend who gave up both. he found heroin much much harder

11:25 am

took him years... went to more detoxes and rehabs than you could imagine. when he finally decided to quit cigarettes... two years after he finally conquered dope.... he found it so simple

11:25 am

heroin is a horrible drug

11:25 am

interesting dorens -- i am just passing on what this guy said to me

no drug (or puter game) affects two people the same way. and no drug is universally addictive

11:26 am

no, i have heard it many times also... but watching him go through what he did, i see that heroin was impossible. cigarettes are hard to quit, but no comparison

11:26 am

if heroin is not universally additive it comes pretty close

11:26 am

I have just given up cigs after 43 years - pretty easy actually

my friend is a disabled vet and he is on medicianl heroin for pain. of course they don't call it heroin when it's from a doctor but it's still heroin

11:27 am

whooo hooo lynxxx!!!!!

11:27 am

happy dance!

11:27 am

good for you lynxxx. heroin, not methadone??

coming close is not universal! LOL

excellent, lynxxx!

11:27 am

(grateful that lynxxx will now be around longer)

the difference between heroin and methodone is that one is a felony and the other is legal. it's the same drug

11:27 am

if you do heroin enough times, i think it is eventually addictive... maybe not immediate

11:28 am

my daddy gave up cigarettes after many decades almost over night and so gave me a unrealistic expectation for my poor hubby

11:28 am

what a sweet thing to say Ruru! lol

11:28 am

Aww smores is not a word in the dictionnary!

11:28 am

i thought heroin came from poppies and methadone came from chem. labs

s'mores contraction

11:28 am

but a tasty word eno

11:28 am

Point.

11:28 am

11:28 am

11:28 am

11:28 am

11:28 am

11:28 am

11:28 am

dorens, maybe so, but still the same chemical

11:29 am

nothing to say jm?

cat on keyboard alert!!

11:29 am

jmc fell asleep on her keyborad

11:29 am

yeah, that's right, blame it on the cat!

11:29 am

he (my friend) was on methadone several times... found it helped a lot, but not as gratifying to him as heroin was... yet sometimes he did get a kind of high from it

11:29 am

Happy Christmas Day, Babblers! Or, to be more politically correct: Happy Chrismahanakwanza.

swmucfes bhjs/

11:30 am

has jmc been hitting the jack early today???

(imitating cat on keyboard)

11:32 am

11:32 am

i need to finish the deviled eggs soon and wake Tom so we can get to my mom's and Dumfries by 16.

11:32 am

be well, Gwen

11:33 am

my gravestone will read: Rururocks -atheist... all dressed up and nowhere to go!"

11:33 am

Yes. By all means, drive first, then drink!

11:33 am

Hey, just because you're an athiest, Ruru, doesn't mean you can't attend all the holiday parties.

11:34 am

too many DUI checkpoints here in the Valley Judi..I don't drive on New Years or Xmas

11:34 am

my hindu friends all celebrate christmas

11:35 am

the county next to mine does DUI check points all the time. Mine doesn't.

11:35 am

Ah. Same here, ruru. We'll probably just go to the movies.

11:35 am

so do most of my jewish friends, jmc

11:36 am

a lot of mine do too dc

11:36 am

it does seem to have become an american holiday that doesn't always focus on the religious aspects

11:36 am

oh jmc.. you're back from your nap on the keyboard?

11:36 am

very muchso, dorens. i think mostly due to clever marketing by Coca-Cola a century ago

11:36 am

thus the "he's the reason for the season" tree ornaments

11:36 am

I think it is a nice way to celebrate the end of the year with family and friends

11:37 am

agreed, lyn

11:37 am

my nephew showed up and I had to show him how to text his gf on my cell phone

11:37 am

I really enjoy Christmastime

11:37 am

that's rather surprising, jmc

11:37 am

Happy Christmas, M!M!

11:38 am

oh I scrolled down that really was the cat -- I am so sorry!

11:38 am

I want to go see Holmes tonight in spirit of movies on Xmas

11:38 am

Germans seem to "do it up right'

11:38 am

Happy Xmas MM

11:38 am

well I have a blackberry and it is different than his cell phone

11:38 am

ty dc

11:38 am

hi all, does anyone have the re8?

11:38 am

that it is, jmc, and i think superior in many ways

11:39 am

condiments peri

11:39 am

ty lynx

11:39 am

I am interested to hear from my german intern what he thinks of american christmas

11:39 am

sheesh, already had the re8 but thanks

11:39 am

I do I do! RE8/45. Made from pickles.

11:39 am

missing one of the 8's

11:39 am

i got a motorola droid (kinda like the iphone) and stil have much to learn..

11:39 am

i like my blackberry and i know i haven't gotten the full benefit from it yet

11:39 am

ty, judi. i even made some just a bit ago.

11:40 am

cool, dorens.

11:40 am

yes all the techies think it's cool... took me two weeks to figure out how to answer a phone call if i was already on one before.. and i managed to lose all my contacts... but it is fun

11:41 am

LOL sorry that it's such a steep learning curve :)

11:41 am

i was in germany once for christmas... the chrismas markets are phenomenal

11:42 am

gosh i just got an email stating that in 1645 parliment made it illegal to celebrate christmas as a form of idolatry!

11:42 am

lol

11:42 am

after all it is a pagaen thing

11:43 am

I still haven't quite gotten that nack dc

11:43 am

yes, the Commonwealth period was not good time in England

11:44 am

Wow. What a drag parliment was in 1645. Imagine they all died of the plague (and rightly so).

11:44 am

well the quakers didn't celebrate it either

11:44 am

why not?

11:44 am

is mosies not the 3rd person singular of mosy? or am i spelling the word wrong?

11:44 am

thought the same thing dc... but it apparently is moseys

11:45 am

ah, ok, ty dorns

11:45 am

ah, ok, ty dorens

11:45 am

because it was based on a pagan holiday -- quakers didn't even use the names of the months or days of the week because of that -- used First Day for Sunday and First Month for January

11:45 am

if you try to add it, the message is that moseys doesn't exist in the puzzle... ergo it does exist somewhere

11:45 am

Time for more coffee. Must counteract cold meds.

11:46 am

gotta go make like a hostess bbl Merry Christmas in the meant time

11:46 am

njoy, jmc

11:46 am

enjoy your company

11:47 am

bye jmc

11:48 am

2:16 pm

(offers to hold Stid's hand and lead her to the grid)

2:16 pm

2:19 pm

*boing*

2:19 pm

oh! *facepalm* kanga - ruru! rofl

2:19 pm

I am a little slow today

2:19 pm

the youngest is in bed now, pretty much exhausted from a full and nice day. Son is at his playstation now. They are both doing so very well.

2:20 pm

very pleased to hear that, sprite! our boys are doing "okay" -- tom was unwell this week, and the elder boy seems to have a touch of the cold now.

2:20 pm

aw that is not nice. May they feel we4 very soon.

2:21 pm

thanks sprite -- hadn't seen that word yet

2:22 pm

he'll be fine, it just takes ti4

2:22 pm

you would have soon enough. It is one of those grids where you find a series of words when you find one. I like that.

2:23 pm

yes, makes it more manageable

2:23 pm

ah thanks, that was one I didn't have yet

2:23 pm

we are watching the DVD of the latest Harry Potter movie - which I haven't yet seen. back soon. ((hugs))

2:24 pm

Merry Christmas! Hello all :o)

2:40 pm

How are you, Sprite?

2:43 pm

2:53 pm

2:53 pm

2:54 pm

2:54 pm

2:54 pm

2:54 pm

2:54 pm

ah!

ti6--very appropriate :o) for this time of year.

2:54 pm

2:54 pm

You got it Dorens.

2:55 pm

thanks bichon

2:56 pm

I don't celebrate Kwanzaa, but then again I don't celebrate Christmas either and Hannukah is over, so...

2:57 pm

I hope I didn't offend you then, bichon.

2:58 pm

no one can be offended by that sprite... in america it is nearly a national holiday anyway... and good wishes are good wishes, can't offend

2:58 pm

one never knows. But it was we4 intended for sure.

3:00 pm

I guess I will have to give up ever hinishing babble grids. I cannot distinugish sc abd se ib tge ckye kust. Only wth lickety's printout can I still distingish those letters, and he is printing the list less and less often. Bye my friends, I will be bakc occasionaly, but o longer to finish babble grid

3:00 pm

bye inge

3:01 pm

By inge. There is more to life than fireworks.

3:01 pm

take care

3:01 pm

There is more to Babble than fireworks, too.

3:02 pm

true words, wht

I hardly ever finish a grid. Don't get me wrong, I am happy when I do but there never seems to be enough time in the day. I am a slooooooooow babbler :o)

3:04 pm

hello again for a few minutes...

3:04 pm

enjoying the game and/or the community is what matters to me.

3:04 pm

hi stiddie, so glad to see you again.

3:04 pm

(((inge)))

3:04 pm

Hi stid.

3:05 pm

first ni6?

3:05 pm

inge. don't leave u s... finishing is certainly not everything... we enjoy your company

3:05 pm

stid. i got beatles rock band for david and jaime and i think they will love it... did you get it with the extra special edition, or just the software (that's what i ended up with, the latter)

3:06 pm

looks like italian, Shirlockc, for nothing. ni + oldfashioned measure of length + vowel

Cool, dorens! Is there a Beatles Guitar Hero?

3:07 pm

not sure the distinction, doren -- we got the whole kit -- guitar, mike and drums, with the basic set of songs (I think)

3:07 pm

and it is really fun.

3:07 pm

the guitar from rock band will work with guitar hero (and vice versa)

3:07 pm

or so I am told

3:07 pm

I really like playing the drums!!!!!

oh, I didn't know that!

3:07 pm

ty sprite

3:08 pm

called beatles rockband, but it seems like guitar hero... and so i figured since they have guitar hero, they don't need the extra sstuff. i once played guitar hero with them and it was hilarious

3:08 pm

but the beatles.... i heard good things about this one, and i'm of that era.. so of course i think it must be the best

3:08 pm

guitar hero only has guitar and vocal, no drums

3:08 pm

my son just got guitar hero!

3:08 pm

yvw wht

3:08 pm

i think they may have gotten drums as an add=on at one time... i know i heard that jaime is a killer at the drums

3:09 pm

thx sprite

I stink at Guitar Hero BUT it is fun to laugh at myself with the rest of the family.

3:09 pm

what fun sprite

3:09 pm

yvw Shirl

3:10 pm

So with all this talk of guitar here, why isn't mosh in the list

3:10 pm

wow, fireflies. Had most trouble with the biggies. Very nice grid.

3:10 pm

good question wht!

3:10 pm

because enable is crazy

congrats sprite!

3:11 pm

I am off, gonna cuddle up with my love and fight some more of the depression. Have a lovely day/night all and see you tomorrow.

3:11 pm

YAY sprite!!!! glad I was here to witness it! :-D

3:11 pm

wtg sprite

bye bye sprite

3:12 pm

yay sprite and enjoy the evening

3:12 pm

later sprite, sending much love your way! *and choclit*

3:15 pm

3:32 pm

3:32 pm

i did say hello to you earlier peri, didn't I?

3:32 pm

Sorry, Peri. I entered right after you did, it appears.

3:33 pm

I am sure no one is ignoring you, Peri, and sometimes the chat log flies by

3:33 pm

and sometimes people do that to me too... i just figure we're not always watching the chog.. i know i don't

3:33 pm

I try not to take it personally, I know that people looking for words

3:34 pm

particularly when there's no lickety, when i get to the point where I am trying hard to find what i am missing, it can be so difficult

3:34 pm

I need a break

3:35 pm

I must put take lasagne out of oven, put pies in, finish laundry, wash litter boxes...

3:35 pm

Hey there Periwinkle, I just put my turkey in the oven.

3:42 pm

Oh dear, and I am only done with the c's and the x's.

3:43 pm

Hi Wht and Dorens. Thanks for the welcome. I spoke to Peri cause she's my cousin and got me hooked on Babble.

3:43 pm

you may thank her, or you may curse her

3:44 pm

Family can get you into trouble sometimes.

3:44 pm

on a day like today.. big grid, no lickety, i am not happy to have this addiction. My family thinks I am ill

3:45 pm

I am plodding along and still have 73 left

3:46 pm

Hi, all - NO LICKETY? *waaaahhhhh*

3:46 pm

i have eight s's left... need a break... happy babbles

3:47 pm

I have resigned myself to taking the hit on my rankings, between yesterday and today.

3:48 pm

Hey don't complain. I've got 153 left and I'm not gonna finish. Happy holidays everyone from the newbie in the game.

3:48 pm

I skipped yesterday all together, it's amazing how free I feel...

3:49 pm

my ratings are shot for this month anyway due to the net being down for days a couple of weeks ago.

3:49 pm

el5?

3:50 pm

3:51 pm

(((BabbleRabble))) You are the best! *laughing out loud*

4:01 pm

Merry Christmas to you to, Ata!!

4:01 pm

I will confess this much: I had a wonderful day with Rob and kids and Terra. Very relaxed, no high expectations, only things we all like, and it worked like a charm. I might learn to like Xmas this way ;)

4:01 pm

I am happy you had a good day, sprite, as I hope all babblers did.

4:02 pm

Merry Xmas, Ata, and may you find lots of love and freedom in the year to come ;)

4:02 pm

4:03 pm

4:03 pm

aw Ata, is Hobbit collared? What happened?

4:03 pm

We are having another near blizzard day. Travel is not advised. But I am A-OK

4:03 pm

oh I hope so! especially after listening to husband's tirade earlier on about how he refuses to deal with my family on christmas day any more!

4:03 pm

she has an infected little tail! :(

4:04 pm

Makes me glad to hear that, BabbleRabble.

4:04 pm

poor little Hobbit. Hope she heals fast.

4:05 pm

4:05 pm

she's getting there!

4:06 pm

60 left, bbl

4:06 pm

bye periwinkle

4:07 pm

I am ignoring him as much as possible :)

4:08 pm

4:09 pm

7:03 pm

Merry Christmas Dawg!

7:03 pm

Welcome Dawger!

7:03 pm

I would love to try some of the recipes, but at this point it would be a waste of time and money, as it probably does not involve chicken fingers, mac and cheese or french fries, so no one here but me would eat it.

7:03 pm

hey, tor, Happy Holidays to you!!

7:03 pm

merry christmas, lbd!

7:03 pm

Hi Torg

7:05 pm

Hicar, DR, peri, trif

7:05 pm

I bought my friend's 9 yr old daughter the entire HP box set

7:07 pm

Lucky you Car!!!

I always make an extra pan of it to freeze for a later time Scrabs

7:07 pm

that is a great gift Scrabs

7:08 pm

He is very thoughtful!

7:08 pm

and next year you can add to that boxed set, scrabs

7:08 pm

would be worth it to invest in some decent plastic storage containers ... lots of good lunches to be had with your lasagne

7:08 pm

I don't think I have found a new word in about 10 minutes!!!

7:09 pm

7:10 pm

scrabbler, I can recommend the HP books on tape very highly - jim dale reads them, and does an amazing job. I got them out of the library on CD, and either copied them on to CDs here, or added them to the ipod library for the kiddos. Primo listened to them over and over....
