dc, that looks like a chihuly exhibit, is it?

12:15 am

How many in the grid this time?

12:15 am

sounds sort of like a teeter totter

12:16 am

it's kind of fun how fast the tiles grey this one.

12:16 am

87 mlf

12:16 am

Dee, it was labelled as "ceiling of the Bellagio" that's all i know

12:16 am

no wonder its going so slow thanks Une

well, glad you are back. Dc, it reminds me of the Chihuly exhibit we saw in Pittsburgh... I would really be surprised if it isn't his work.

12:16 am

chihuly did the ceiling of the bellagio

12:17 am

ah, well thank you, spatial. I'd not a clue what the question was then, nor did i know that :)

12:17 am

Hey Babblers

12:17 am

DC - how do you put one icon on your profile, and another on the chog ??

12:17 am

:P

yay me I did recognize it... doing the happy dance ty bean!

12:17 am

and there you have it. spatial settles it. :) i Know i've seen that pic before tho - will bug me til i figure it out. i swear it was someone's personal pic.. hmmm

12:17 am

i thought it was a type of fish she was asking after, not a person *shrugs*

12:18 am

his work is really beautiful!

12:18 am

christine, to do that, upload a picture, then return to chog w/out saving your profile. Then, old pix displays here, and new in profile.

12:18 am

so it would seem, spatial. I'll have to keep an eye out for an exhibit

12:18 am

nite see u all tomorrow;)

12:19 am

let me find source, one sec...

12:19 am

ca 9

can any guide me to the the 2nd a in the 3rd column, please. I was totally impressed with the Pittsburgh exhibit; even if it was when I fell and broke my foot. If I were disgustingly wealthy, I would love to have one of the "flowers" exhibited there (starting price of about $5,000 (u.s.)

12:20 am

he's from the pacific northwest and I think he has a museum...portland maybe? southwest washington state?

12:20 am

speaking of art in PA - i still recall how impressed i was with the Philly airport - i couldn't get over all the art all over the terminals.

hi and surprisingly easy nbt

12:21 am

Chihuly is in Tacoma

help please josh with 2nd a in 3rd column?

12:21 am

12:23 am

ea4, flosey

e4/4, flosey

12:23 am

well it's a tough name, no wonder you blanked it out

it was really interesting; you even posted a website. I really enjoyed looking at some of his other work, which was totally different from what dc is showing.

12:23 am

yes, it's really quite a great photo

12:23 am

DC, thanks for the tutorial. Jillibus told me how to get rid of my 'greyhead' (thanks again, Jillibus), so perhaps I'll try this other thing, sometime.

12:34 am

I hate the coughing

I bought robitussin by the case

12:35 am

* grin * haven't seen it before.....

12:35 am

hi, grannyrose

12:35 am

there were not enough tissues in the world for us

12:35 am

For Ruru et al, just read this earlier: For those who are suffering from common or severe colds, they should take one tablespoon of luke warm honey with 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon powder daily for 3 days. This process will cure most chronic cough, cold and clear the sinuses.

12:35 am

hey dcs

12:35 am

NBT finally!

12:36 am

i'm a fan of neti pots

12:36 am

12:36 am

wtg jilli

12:36 am

12:36 am

neti pots?

12:36 am

was she a dancer seain?

interesting

12:36 am

i got a neti, but so far have been afraid to actually use it!

12:36 am

small pot with a saline solution that you pour through your sinuses

my husband took about 20 vitamin c's per day and 8 zincs...

12:37 am

fran, that's what I was advised to take for arthritis

12:37 am

do I have to google neti or will somebody tell me what it is?

12:37 am

i was trepadacious at first, franny, but have come to love mine.

what flosey?

12:37 am

lol jilli

12:37 am

honey and cinnamon

12:37 am

oh, ty dc -- I have a friend who has been using that after a bad virus and swears by it

cool... I'll have to try it

12:38 am

Flosey - i got that info from this page, incl. arthritis: http://healthmad.com/alternative/10-mi raculous-health-benefits-of-honey-and- cinnamon-combo/

I found the ca 9 yippppppppppeeee

12:38 am

i use mine once or twice a day.

12:38 am

12:38 am

12:39 am

Atalante - my fave, too. My actual ones were splendid this spring. They put on quite a show with the bearded irises & poppies for about two weeks.

got it!

12:49 am

they are just the most glorious flowers! They are the one thing that totally reminds me of childhood summers too

12:49 am

dee don't forget Michelangelo

(the 9) out-of-order erotic tan

hmmm

12:49 am

I wish I could see that flower!

famous for ants jili...

That's how I feel about bearded irises. When you're three you're abut as tall as one. They come up to your nose and smell glorious!

VMD - indeed!

lol

12:51 am

oh, of course, dee -- ty -- ours back east were famous for rose chafers -- disastrous!

wtg

12:51 am

at the end of each summer term, mum would make me a big bunch of them for my teacher, and I'd stagger in under the weight of this enormous bunch of flowers!

They are blowsy - in the best sense of the word!

they are sure gorgeous around here in the summer, but we do have to wash them well... the purple and periwinkle --ish colors were marvelous

and this is why I love Babble. I find like-minded souls who can rhapsodize about such things. . . :)

12:52 am

Not well versed on my flowers apparently

for sure melon

pe 5/16... starts like a commoner...

12:53 am

Handsome

1:06 am

I got mine in October

1:06 am

1:06 am

Congrats Rose!

1:06 am

yay rose !! did you sing it a lullaby too?

wtg rose

1:07 am

Night Jilli I sure enjoy your icons...always good to learn something or refresh what you filed away in the gray matter!

1:07 am

yes, dee. it didn't stop it, but it wasn't as severe as without it.

1:07 am

it was her own recipe and I made it today talk about delicious!!

1:07 am

need the word following the beautiful flower, any clues please?

1:07 am

haven't seen her in such a long time

need to decide soon if I am going to get one. I did get the regular one..

1:08 am

french for small, flosey

1:08 am

westford, can you please post it in your profile? i would love to have it. thanks

1:08 am

no H1N1 shot here, considered not urgent for us oldies -- got a seasonal flu shot then got sick, not a good time for getting shots

1:08 am

is that the Michelangelo one flosey?

1:08 am

or email it to me?

1:08 am

okay joey

1:08 am

thanks granny

1:08 am

thanks

1:09 am

my dr keeps trying to give me a swine flu shot but I've always got flu when he tries

1:09 am

How are you doing, joey?

that is why I am vascillating about whether I want to get it or not jili... just not sure what to do

1:09 am

I remember seeing that recipe west but guess I didn't take it down

that is what I am afraid of ata

1:09 am

not a good day today, didn't feel very well and had to go to a viewing.

1:09 am

that's strange, jilli.our health department is offering them for free to anyone who wants it.

1:09 am

thanks for asking. 5 down, 1 to go. have to get over this one first

1:10 am

if you've got a temperature, they won't give you the shot

so sorry joey

I could have pneumonia and not have a fever

1:11 am

we were told you can have the jab if you're ill, just not if you have a fever

1:11 am

Absolutely no reaction...it is a killed virus so there is no reaction to the virus...but sometimes the body can have a mild reaction to receiving an injection or the formation of the antibodies but not the flu...as long as you are not allergic to eggs which are used in developing the vaccine...reaction range from a little sore at injection site to mild fever or mild headache...nothing to worry about...my grandchildren had the nasal form of vacine, several family mbrs had it and no one had a reaction

1:11 am

dee, if you're young enough with no other co-morbidities like asthma, you will probably be okay

ty so much mpitt and granny... encouraging to know

1:13 am

mind you, having said that, i was so grateful to have had the shot. this flu made me weak as a kitten, and deathly tired.

1:13 am

last word, need the at5/14, any clues please?

1:13 am

ends with a man's nickname

1:13 am

different last letter to the at5/10

1:14 am

put sometimes vowel on end of at5, instead of what is there

my cold / sinus infection / virus also made me feel awful granny, which is why I started thinking about getting the swine flu shot, and I saw it advertised tonight that one of our pharmacies is offering them

1:14 am

thanks Ata, and that's Fireworks

1:14 am

WTG FLOSEY!!!

1:14 am

1:34 am

I'm ready to go again

1:34 am

west how can I sel,copy,paste from your profile there is nothing at top (i.e. Edit) to do that...I tried it but that blonde thing kicked in! LOL

1:35 am

do you have a PC or a Mac?

1:35 am

PC

1:36 am

maybe the PC people can help you out then I don't know how they work

1:36 am

MPitt, can you highlight the recipe and print?

1:37 am

hubby is threatening to get a Mac...his laptop is acting up but so is mine..I need a keyboard at min...no letters left on mine

1:37 am

Hold down Control & C to Copy, and Control and V to Paste

1:37 am

that should do it

1:37 am

I'll try again...brb

1:38 am

MPitt -- click at the beginning of what you want to copy, then go to the end, hold down Shift and click again. It should all be highlighted. Then Ctrl +C to copy, Ctrl + V to paste.

1:38 am

I'm learning a lot from the PC crowd

1:38 am

You can usually buy the keypad and get it replaced MP - I know I need to do it too - probably about $80 including getting it put in

1:39 am

keypad, meant keyboard

1:39 am

could you not redo the letters with a very fine brush and use nail varnish.....just a thought

1:40 am

I've tried magic marker in the past didn't work too well

1:40 am

hi Mills, I had thought about that but decided it would look awful - I have so many letters missing

1:41 am

my newest laptop keyboard is not wearing out so that's good

1:41 am

had a jar candle with molten wax in it that I spilled all over the last one

1:42 am

that one we replaced

1:42 am

I will try that mills...I'm a bit artsy so that will help in the interim..by the way I can't cut and paste or Print screen the highlighted recipe...

1:43 am

can you copy from the chat? I could post it here

1:43 am

Are you in Expert MP?

1:43 am

yes, you can copy from anywhere (almost)

1:43 am

want me to try it Mpit?

1:44 am

but I refuse to go to the PB if I inadvertently put in a word that's in the grid lol

1:44 am

fair enuf, west

1:45 am

becca

1:45 am

MP - If you use a mouse you should be able to highlight the area you want then Right Click on Mouse and select Copy

1:45 am

oops sry

1:45 am

west - go to a crafts store and buy a sheet of clear plastic stick-on letters. They come in all styles and sizes.

1:45 am

I thought so too jilli but my babble doens't have the function bar above it nor do the profiles...is my pc lacking?

1:46 am

Here is my recipe for FABULOUS Thai peanut chicken, in the crock pot: In your crock pot, put 2 cans (each can is about 15 ounces) of Ro-Tel brand chopped tomatoes with chiles, and about 3/4 cup of peanut butter (any kind will do, smooth or chunky, brand-name or not, "natural" or not) Let that warm in the crock pot until the peanut butter melts. While that is happening, take the skin off the chicken. I use 2 breasts and 6 legs. You can use thighs if you want, or use boneless chicken breasts. Make sure all skin is off. Now stir the mixture in the crock pot. Then add 1/2 can (total of about 8 ounces) Coconut Milk or Coconut Milk "Lite". Mix that up. Then put the chicken pieces in. Cover the crock pot and simmer on high about 4-5 hours. You'll know when it's done because the chicken willl be falling off the bones. Serve over rice, and garnish with chopped cilantro. Li'l Monkey's Thai Peanut Chicken

1:46 am

ok lynxx will try that brb

1:46 am

Are you in Expert MP?

1:46 am

good idea broll thanks

1:47 am

if anyone sees Li'l Monkey say thanks from me

1:47 am

MPitt, you don't need the function bar if you use the Ctrl + C and Ctrl + V on your keyboard

1:47 am

I guess that suggestion is for MP. Tired and not following chat very well.

1:47 am

I will West

1:48 am

It's for me too broll I'm always wearing out keyboards

1:48 am

Thankyou for the suggestion Broll. Have you done this, was wondering if the letters wouldn't move with constant use - ?

1:49 am

No, I don't use my computer enough to wear off letters!

1:50 am

I don't have a crock pot and Ro-Tel isn't a brand I know of here :(

1:51 am

lynxxx that worked....the ctrl c & v & P wouldn't work for me...must be aliens in my pc trying to prevent me from cooking up the fab recipe! Anyway I have it now...will make it when we get back! Hey, I was supposed to go to bed an hour ago....gotta go need all the beauty rest I can get...*giggle* *wink*...niters all...Thank you!

1:51 am

Gad the mouse behaved...goodnight MP

1:51 am

jilli you really don't need a crock pot it would do fine in a pot on the stove and just use chopped tomatoes and add a can of green chiles if you like spicy

1:52 am

glad it worked mpit sleep well

1:52 am

I used boneless chicken breasts though

1:52 am

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!

1:53 am

hmmm -- pls keep the recipe in your profile, west -- too tired to copy it now

1:53 am

okay

1:53 am

1:54 am

I get boneless chicken breasts all the time and freeze them

1:54 am

YAY anike!!!

1:54 am

congrats Anike

1:55 am

we love our freezer

1:55 am

Hi west and TY

1:56 am

Can I assist with any clues b4 I go?

1:57 am

1:57 am

I have 26 to go and will leave them for tomorrow -- bed is calling now -- thanks anyway, anike

1:58 am

no thank you anike almost done

1:58 am

1:59 am

I would too anike but she may not like it if I showed up at 3:00 a.m.

1:59 am

I freeze bread and take out a slice or two at a time so it doesn't go stale

1:59 am

2:00 am

2:01 am

So....off to bed now -- goodnight all and *poof*

3:02 am

Is snow on the way for you, Ata, or will you escape? We haven't had any more but what we had is still lying. Poor husband is having a horrible time trying to get round the countryside. Two vets in the practice have already pranged their cars.

3:02 am

and it's snowing

3:02 am

we only have about 3 inches but really hard to get off the estate, it's snowing again and I have no desire to go on a 125 mile round trip to the office

3:02 am

too right! stay in the warm

3:03 am

it's just started to snow and look like it means it. before this we had a few flakes here and there

3:03 am

Ah now, if it had been wartime, we'd have been told to Dig for Victory and Keep calm and carry on.

3:03 am

hahah

3:03 am

Oh Ata those pics are lovely - was thinking of you this morning and wishing I had your camera to take some pics of the scenes here.

3:03 am

3:04 am

in france in the war, they would have just started practicing their german by the fire....

3:04 am

poor Crumble!!

3:04 am

I so nearly didn't bother taking my camera this morning, and was so glad I did!

3:04 am

thick crumble

3:05 am

am going to see if I have a working camera shortly so I can take some pics.

3:05 am

oooooo cool!

3:07 am

my old Pntax is letting light in and I don't have film for it. Two others are filmless and the digital ones have run out of battery power - Oh to have one working thing!

3:07 am

run out of battery power? recharge the batteries then!!

3:08 am

well put!

3:08 am

Can't find the charger duh!

3:08 am

get a new one!

3:08 am

and before anyone say it - my mobile phone does not take pics it just does phone calls OK!

3:09 am

Somebody else is sensitive this morning..... I'll be the diplomatic, soothing one.

3:09 am

*grin*

3:10 am

gasp - can you get phone that only take calls!

3:10 am

*mentions tesco*

3:10 am

please, could use some soothing

3:10 am

well you try waking up to power cuts and huge amounts of snow!

3:10 am

Breathe in, breathe out, breathe in, breathe out. Repeat after me - OMMMMMMMMMMMM.

3:11 am

you can mention tescos as much as you want but it is unobtainable right now.

3:11 am

OMMMMMMMMMMM

3:11 am

Power cuts? You didn't mention power cuts before.

3:11 am

Lower pitch, FM, lower pitch. Try it again. OMMMMMM.

3:12 am

I did in the emergency email I sent to you and Ata at the crack of dawn.

3:12 am

OMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

3:12 am

ommmmmmmm

3:12 am

Oh! I haven't checked my e-mails yet.

3:12 am

oh that is working

3:12 am

That's much better. The OMMMMMMMMs are coming along nicely.

3:13 am

ooooommmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

3:13 am

OOMMMM is where the eart is

3:13 am

Now, I want you to get into the lotus position. This should be accomplished in one smooth motion. Resume the OMMMMMMMM afterwards.

3:13 am

nor me! great help, aren't we?

3:13 am

LOL ruby

3:13 am

Ata, we'd have been rubbish during the war.

3:13 am

lol Ruby

3:13 am

I thought thge power only went out here!

3:14 am

Are you all in the Lotus position?

3:14 am

Panic waves emanating from Great Britian!

3:14 am

nice to know who your friends are!

3:14 am

hells bells it is snowing up a storm here

3:14 am

I think I have pulled something

3:14 am

We're not panicking, lynxxx. Stiff upper lips, lots of ommmmmming and cups of tea will get us through this.

3:15 am

Oh BTW Haz you have to plan to come over here late Feb or early March.

3:15 am

a *lot* of tea

3:15 am

Although if the upper lip is allowed to get too stiff, dear knows how we'll drink our tea.

3:16 am

3:16 am

lol......county......

3:16 am

God I hope so lynxxx

3:17 am

hello all -not usually here - they've closed the school for the second day..........

3:17 am

When was this decided?

3:17 am

hi Dippnall

3:17 am

Its going to be a babble get together for the UK

3:17 am

Hello, Dipnall.

3:17 am

yesterday I think

3:17 am

All meeting at your house, FM?

3:17 am

yes Haz would be soooo goood

3:18 am

Hello Dippnall

3:19 am

Goodness!

3:19 am

see you later

3:19 am

You had better start baking now Haz

3:19 am

Bye Ruby

3:20 am

you , me, Ata, possibly cait, lindrick, and who knows who else.

3:20 am

Bye ruby, enjoy the snow.

3:21 am

katie

3:21 am

I am now getting fed up of looking out the window and seeing it is still snowing :(

3:21 am

oh yes!

3:22 am

Katie - can you come?

3:26 am

It'll depend if she can get out of the estate.

3:26 am

or if she's snowed under with work

3:27 am

Or if Crumble will let her go.

3:27 am

I think she is writhing on the ground in agony (she last said she thought she had pulled something - and I don't think it was a fella)

3:27 am

Is she still in the Lotus position?

3:27 am

lol - maybe

3:28 am

not sure you're meant to be able to writhe lotus-like

3:28 am

Oh dear. I forget that not everyone is as lithe and supple and as masterful in yoga as me.

3:29 am

ROFL - yeah right!!!

3:29 am

You can't see it, but my face is all amazement. Do I detect a note of incredulity from FM?

3:30 am

I was just thinking that!

3:30 am

loving the chat but I must get on and do significant stuff - have no idea what that is but is sounds good.

3:30 am

One advantage of being small is that you're that much closer to the ground and therefore more easily able to slip into yoga positions.

3:31 am

fine. go and do something better than spend time with us

3:31 am

ha! it's stopped snowing

3:31 am

Significant stuff? This isn't significant enough for you?

3:31 am

Learning yoga, saying ommmmmmmmm and finding words? What could be better than this?

3:31 am

snowing heavily here

3:32 am

where are you katie?

3:32 am

Tamworth in Staffordshire

3:32 am

it's not really meant to get here till much later, if at all

3:32 am

Sorry just gone back in the chog, the shock of it - I was working! I would love to come :-)

3:32 am

OK I will stay a while.

3:33 am

That's more like it, FM.

3:33 am

well that took a lot of persuading :D

3:33 am

bit south of me - it's lovely and bright here - just lots of snow all over the place!

3:33 am

:)

3:33 am

yay katie!

3:34 am

Jac will want to come too :)

3:35 am

oh yes of course!!!

3:35 am

Great - will be a blast!

3:35 am

I knew we were mising someone!

3:36 am

There are loads of good B&Bs and htel round here.

3:37 am

ace

3:37 am

plus plenty of carpet space in the house :)

3:37 am

You need to keep the carpet space clear for the yoga.

3:37 am

and for Hobbit :P

3:38 am

ooooommmmmmmmmmmm

3:38 am

dogs and cats are welcome :)

3:39 am

Keep the pitch a little lower, FM, otherwise you're doing well.

3:39 am

new bed is due to be delivered in about 10 days - can't wait!

3:39 am

Haz has to bring spangle

3:39 am

*ooommmmmm* is that better Haz?

3:40 am

are you breathing properly?

3:40 am

Yes, that's better. Soon we'll be progressing to AHHHHHHH.

3:41 am

But only when everyone has mastered the OMMMMM and is comfortable to move on.

3:41 am

gosh - not sure I can cope with that!

3:41 am

gosh - not sure I can cope with that!

3:41 am

thats the advanced level

3:42 am

People sometimes do have these crises of confidence. You'll overcome it, FM, just remember your breathing.

3:42 am

I think you were put off your stroke by the thought of your new bed.

3:42 am

Is it a four-poster?

3:44 am

either she can't remember or she's not telling

3:44 am

Don't just breathe out, FM, remember to keep breathing in. You're looking a wee bit red.

3:45 am

No - had a 4 poster before ,this is just a wonderful iron beadstead . Sorry have jsut had a huge sneezing fit!

3:45 am

That's the Ommmmmmmmmm clearing out the system. It's wonderful for sinuses.

3:46 am

is that your sincere font?

3:46 am

All my fonts are sincere!

3:47 am

*snot*

3:47 am

See? Those sinuses are clearing wonderfully but we don't need all the details, FM.

3:47 am

LOL!!!

3:47 am

I so hope that was meant to be snort

3:47 am

too much detail of that sort of thing earlier today

3:47 am

Some things are best left unsaid.

3:48 am

Did someone else have sinus problems? Did yoga and heavy breathing cure them as well?

3:49 am

they were talking about neti pots again

3:49 am

*blushes* sorry and yes lynnx and all that was supposed to be snort.

3:49 am

I'm kind of scared to enquire further about neti pots.

3:50 am

saline ... nose ...

3:50 am

they scare me

3:50 am

enough, enough!

3:50 am

dc uses his twice a day!

3:51 am

ewwww

3:51 am

I've just googled.

3:51 am

Now I'm goggling.

3:51 am

now I'm gagging

3:51 am

Okay, moving the conversation swiftly past neti pots and sinuses - how's Stew, lynxxx?

3:52 am

power is going a bit again so TTFN and Happy Babbling.

3:52 am

*hugs hugs fm*

3:52 am

Bye FM - see you later! Put a flag on top of your car so youcan find it again!

3:52 am

he's fine - a bit mopy - he didn't get to go in "the car" today

3:53 am

bye FM - have a good day

3:53 am

I saw a Stew while walking the mutt this morning. They are sooo beuatiful and graceful

3:53 am

Poor Stew, denied his treat.

3:53 am

where did Spangle sleep last night?

3:54 am

In the kennel.

3:54 am

can borrow your 'smug' for a bit Ata

3:54 am

oo!

3:54 am

you may :)

3:54 am

I know, but it wasn't quite as cold last night as before.

3:55 am

(Waiting with anticipation of lynxxx's smug announcement)

3:55 am

but it's good to know that she will settle in the kitchen, if the night really is *that* cold

3:55 am

Yes, it's always a Plan B.

3:56 am

it's meant to reach -20 over here at some point this week

3:56 am

my smug was my beautiful and graceful hound

3:56 am

if it does, I'm kidnapping next door neighbour's cat, cos that's way too cold for Freddie to have to sleep outside

3:57 am

beautiful and graceful until he has a mad spell :)

3:57 am

Oh! Of course you can be smug about how beautiful Stew is.

3:57 am

Does Freddie have no shelter at all?

3:57 am

and then they turn into 95% uncoordinated legs

3:58 am

good timing, he's just started this minute. BBL

3:58 am

not really if his owner turfs him outside. there's no way he can get back indoors. he has a little hollow he's made in the hedge, and if one of the garages is open, he'll sneak inside there

3:58 am

See you later, lynxxx.

3:59 am

I try and leave my porch door open for him, even though he doesn't really like coming in - he's very definitely an outdoor cat

3:59 am

Poor Freddie. I think you'd be right to borrow him if only to let you sleep happily knowing that he's not freezing to death.

4:00 am

exactly!!

4:00 am

Morning babblers can anyone clue the in5 please ;o)

4:00 am

I mean, he's got a huge amount of fur, and there are a lot of non-snowy places round here that he could curl up into. But there's a point where really he needs access to warmth

4:01 am

if I could, I would!

4:01 am

in5/16 - the conversation in***iably comes round to pets.

4:02 am

oh, ok. ah, well done, Haz, I was just trying to think of something!

4:02 am

pets or bottoms

4:02 am

or sinuses

4:02 am

And sometimes both combined!

4:02 am

Thanks Haz great clue ...

4:02 am

You're welcome, Norma.

4:02 am

indeed!

4:08 am

Right, I'm going to head off and get some things done. I'll check in later. Bye for now!

4:08 am

bye dear!

4:09 am

Oh, and if anybody is still in the Lotus position and saying Ommmmmmmmm, you can stop now. The neighbours might talk.

4:09 am

Bye!

Hi all. I'm not in the lotus position, because I can't Babble if I do that.

Did I kill the chog?

*Steals all chocolate out of PB while no-one else is here.

4:26 am

4:56 am

I'm still waiting for the snow ...

huh!

Do you really have no snow yet, Ata?

5:11 am

only old snow

It had even drifted into the covered chicken run today. Had to rake it over for them.

And how are you today?

5:14 am

poor chickens!

lol. They stayed sulking in their house.

5:18 am

I bet they did :)

This seems a slightly evil grid.

5:21 am

it's ok. I have 3 left

Oh, well, I have 50 left :-( but lots of disruption.

What two letters does the 9 start with?

5:25 am

ca9/60

It's ~snowing~ again :)

5:29 am

NB--I was just wondering where you've been

hello

Hi herin.

How are you?

Ok, snowed in.

5:46 am

in 5/16 any clues please

brrr

in + ***iety is the spice of life

5:47 am

Thanks

Why do they make movies and clearly screw it up Geographically

Money? stupidity?

The place is set in London but its clearly Melbourne Australia (a Melbourne Tram went past and there is an Aussie Post box)

5:50 am

Hello everyone, and I've made the same observation about movies, herin

5:51 am

Also, in the U.S., they seem to always film around L.A. (I can tell by their unique vegetation) when the plot is set elsewhere

lol, herin! Reminds of TV adaptation of the Thorn Birds, which I didn't see. An Oz friend of mine did, and was screaming blue murder that it was so obviously filmed in US and not Oz.

See Brookie a tree or plant is something a native would see. But this is clearly Aus

Also American film makers in particular seem to be a bit free with historical facts.

5:52 am

That is true!

What's the particular film set in London, herin?

Sally your friend is right about Thorn Birsds

I am watching Nightmares and dreamscrapes and yes it is set in London

She was very scathing.

London doesn't have trams

There are some in Croydon, a south London suburb.

I know that Queen of the Damned was filmed in Australia but it was done well enough to be non geographical

Sally do your trams have Yarra Trams on them? cause these did and there was the town hall in Melb

lol herin, not usually! Very careless film-making.

5:56 am

... and Fireworks!

I see it is a Stephen King story. He is American isn't he?

It is Stephen King. and another thing I am fairly sure London central doesn't have metal bins

Yah Merk

Wouldn't have thought it was cheaper for them to film in Melbourne than in London.

5:58 am

ty ... see you tomorrow perhaps

They must be stupid to think the audience wouldn't know the difference.

You've suddenly changed your flag, Merk.

Melbourne has a good film history

5:59 am

Yes, I forgot to change it when I arrived and just got around to it now.

6:00 am

I'm still jet lagged. I struggled to stay awake to finish this before I go to an early bed.

O merk

6:01 am

I'll eventually catch up on my sleep, but it's always a struggle for me at first.

Merk you teaching again?

6:02 am

Sorry to interrupt the convo, but may I have a clue for the ca9?

Something you drive in, + negative word, plus US spelling of not loose

Sort of

6:03 am

Thanks sally, got it!

Not very exact clue!

I was so trying to make carnvore for that one.

Thank you

Sally watching this is worse for me as I have walked down most places in the centre of Melbourne

6:14 am

morning Babblers & thx for the clue Sally - don't usually start my games with a 9 pointer

6:19 am

good morning... another small grid... just great... :-(

6:20 am

morning oodle

Hi bo and Oddle

This grid is bitey

Glad you got the clue, bojazz. Sneaky grid herin

6:28 am

sneaky, BAD grid we got here...

6:31 am

6:31 am

sneaky grid - that wasn't a clue, was it? lol

Hey.

Hi Red Yah nonnie

6:44 am

6:46 am

Mostly the central area, a little north of me too, Lake, Marion, sumpter Co, a little in Orange co, and polk co...

6:46 am

herin--re-phrase clue for the lawyer? don't quite see it--almost

6:47 am

6:47 am

ok ty... looking up the temps

6:48 am

but the basic area is orlando?

oodle they are frozen...suns up and still 28.

excuse my poor clues. Oodle you running away to florida?

6:48 am

oh my

Orlando is a little south west of most of the fruit growing..

err South East, sorry.

6:49 am

no trying to figure out about the crops but they are frozen... :-(

6:49 am

hi oodle

6:49 am

salut ruby

eh excuse me for asking but why?

6:50 am

this grid is very hard for me

Citra, Fl is one of the Oldest Orange growing areas. since the early 1800's

6:50 am

why what lady

why do you want to know about Oranges?

6:51 am

clue for the top a in the middle pls?

6:51 am

evidently they are setting record low temps for florida. lived there for many years, saw snow once in Miami on Christmas day

6:51 am

evidently they are setting record low temps for florida. lived there for many years, saw snow once in Miami on Christmas day

I think its someone who performs on stage.

6:51 am

i want to know if there is going to be even a crop and why not

6:51 am

i had one lady from the sates ask me once if we really grew christmas trees up here lol

Do you like oranges? They are the bane of evil in this house

6:52 am

states

Well, they have been harvesting oranges since October/November so there has been a crop, btu now I think a lot will be sold for juicing.

6:52 am

i love all citrus

Himself is allergic to citrus thus not in this house. I love them

6:53 am

Crossy--the first non-word i saw this morning was one i knew would make you crazy!

bacon?

6:53 am

i can see this little grid is full of un-words

6:54 am

You bet, bacon

I had bacon and Icecream on holidays I was given the oddest look

6:54 am

evidently for juicing... they can do anything else with them but if that is to ensure them of not losing there present crop then that is good... I thought it was a short growing season but it goes from october to what month red please

6:55 am

yes,i see that my beloved bacon is but a phantom today

6:55 am

*can't

6:55 am

dont let them get you down herin,they are just jealous of your bacon awareness:0

6:55 am

*cries for cross*

6:56 am

omg bacon and ice cream ... salt and sweet ... interesting

The waitress came out and and asked if i wanted cream or ice cream on my pancakes and as i had a side of bacon ice cream it was.

Oddle the bacon has to be fresh and it works well with ice cream and maple syrup (the real deal not the fauz stuff)

6:58 am

oh that's right I fergit about maple syrup but I cannot do it... it is against my religion to... :D

6:58 am

bacon gum,bacon iced cream.bacon smoothies,bacon and egg pies,cheese with bacon infused in it,bacon weaves,bacon explosion,bacon and onion sammies,bacon vodka..a whole world to explore herin!!

omg OODle you are the in the land of drool maple syrup

6:58 am

clue for the ro 5/10 pls?

6:59 am

we have some of the best maple syrup here in quebec, lady

Bacon sarnies are teh best

it costs us about $10 to get the proper stuff from canada

6:59 am

my bacon and oodles maple syrup....magic;))

6:59 am

yes we are... and how much do you pay for REAL maple syrup there

I gotta admit I don't know, but the shippers start shipping in October, this is the peak time, but these things do happen. Some bigger growers will have protected the crops, fruit will just cost more.

Sounds like the Indian bread Jay

7:00 am

ok herin woul dyou let me ask my questions please ... stop answering them before I ask them HEE HEE HEE HEE too funny

We tend to get a lot of stuff from the USA food store.

7:00 am

the top grade amber syrup is expensive anywhere.14 dollars a litre is average

7:01 am

ok 10$ for how much

7:01 am

i only know the p and the n indian breads

We pay $10 -12 for Camp Maple syrup 250gram

7:02 am

9 here cross

Extend the Ro 4

7:02 am

OUCH... that is expensive lady

It is when it doesn't last long with this house

7:03 am

but cross I am in maple syrup country

7:04 am

do you get the cans there cross?

I personally feel that the flavoured syrup should be banned. Its not real

7:05 am

sorry cross ... you are right...

7:05 am

I keep on thinking a litre is a pint and it is a kilo in weight

250 mil is a quart of a litre

7:06 am

thinking of those little bottles of water are litres and they are 500 ml

That is not right a litre is 1000mil or 30 ounce

opps I think that is 32 ounces

7:07 am

and I got 375 for cheap and it was on sale ... I should have stocked up on it because I love it so much

7:08 am

lol get your metric all worked out?

7:08 am

yes but I am used to cups pints quarts and gallons

7:08 am

been here for six years and stillhave problems with the metric

7:09 am

we tap the trees here also oodles,but i will conced the the quebec stuff is superior

Can you have the sap like that or does it have to be a processed?

7:09 am

has to be processed

Ok.

7:10 am

40 - 1 ratio herin

7:10 am

as i reall the ratio is 40 pails of raw sap to 1 u.s galln of syrup

Yep I was right. 1 litre is 33 Ounces

7:10 am

damn typos

7:11 am

AND there MUST be freezing at night and defrost during the day for it to produce the sap

7:11 am

indeed

well, its just freezing now!

Still would like to know who decided that eating sap from a tree would be so tasty

7:11 am

this global warming is NOT kind to the US crop

7:12 am

clue for the ra 6/18--the first one?

7:12 am

lol red minus 14 here

7:12 am

the canadian natives herin

yes, that soooo beyond freezing!

7:12 am

our first nations people started the trend long ago herin

Ok i complain at 3C

we are currently -3...

7:14 am

we complain when the tires on the car freeze and you get a flat spot on the bottom till they warm up lol

7:15 am

that begins to happen at -45 or better

7:15 am

lol

7:15 am

omg cross... think that is because you are dry there as opposed to our humidididity

7:16 am

ohhhh

bugger that

never could tolerate it!

7:17 am

lol remember red,at that temp you breathe in thru the nose and out through the mouth or you frost your lungs

7:18 am

and that is not pleasant

7:18 am

Can we focus here for a moment? If I had the first ra 6/18 i can FW and leave you in peace!

7:18 am

well, ty

9:57 am

bbl

9:59 am

hi soodle... bbl nap time

9:59 am

Is it AC + Jackie O's husband?

9:59 am

hey soodles! hey oodles! hello everyone

10:00 am

Hey Stid :)

10:02 am

down to 30 (was at 40 when I said hello). this seems an easy grid.

10:03 am

anyway, it's time for me to get going. school starts in two hours and it's hard to find parking close to the building... even the handicapped spots are full these days. *sad mama look* they keep adding students, cutting staff and services.

10:03 am

how are you doing soodles, before I head out? are you getting hit with all that snow and cold still?

10:04 am

Oh My, Stid - its minus 8 here!! The whole country has ground to a halt! Global warming my a**!!!!

10:04 am

oh dear, soodles. I am so sorry.

10:05 am

it is warmer than normal here. though last month it was considerably colder than normal. Nothing seems predictable about seasons or weather these days.

10:05 am

Whats the weather like where u are. Stid?

10:06 am

I know!! Still - its lovely to sit indoors and look out at it!

10:06 am

normally, it's rarely much below freezing even in the winter because we are so close to the water. The last few years we have had some rather persistent snow (I put up lots of photos last year of the ongoing snows, still on my website somewhere).

10:07 am

this year, we had a real cold snap down below zero for more than a week (didn't get above zero that is). Unfortunately, it didn't snow, so I suspect some of my tubers and bulbs didn't make it because there was no insulation for them.

10:07 am

Like I say - Global warming, my a**!!

10:08 am

I would not mind so much if it snowed... at least then we would have an excuse to stay home and hang out.

10:08 am

global warming means that weather extremes of all kinds become more common, so this snow doesn't mean there is no such thing

10:08 am

complete misunderstanding of global warming

10:08 am

yes van

10:08 am

hello Van and kje --- soodles and I know that. but from our perspectives, right now, it's hardly warmer.

10:09 am

I know, kje! But, its just the way the phrase has been bandied about - it is quite misleading!

10:09 am

last summer we had record high temperatures in July and August. So we are seeing a yearly increase in average (mean) temperatures, and more extreme temps and weather at both ends.

10:10 am

no, it is what it is... overall average temps are higher resulting in changes in things such as the ice caps which then create other climate changes in more temperate zones

10:10 am

(Personally I am looking forward to beachfront property

10:10 am

LOL ru - nah - you guys are gonna fall off teh continent and finally disappear

10:10 am

Hi RuRu!

10:11 am

gm everyone

10:11 am

it's wreaking havoc on our snowpack, which makes me nervous about water supply over the next few decades. My parents' home water supply is fed by glacial aquifer from hundreds of miles away.

10:11 am

hey ruru!

10:11 am

I don't use hairspray.. I am doing my part

10:11 am

but I will stand here and wave goodbye as any good pal would do ; )

10:11 am

our home is ground water-fed, which is likely to be depleted if many more homes are put in locally (we all have private wells)

10:12 am

(actually most of the town of Pacifica IS falling into the ocean)

10:12 am

ruru, do you even have hair to spray? not much sacrifice there... LOL

10:12 am

in 5/16 help please? thanks--can't seem to see it

10:12 am

(looks at head... has hair)

10:12 am

oh well... I gotta go. *sigh* see you-all later!

10:13 am

wow! go stidmama! that sounds like something I would ask! LOL

10:13 am

*poof*

10:13 am

3:06 pm

Talking softly makes my boiling water gentle.

3:07 pm

Use soft water ..

3:44 pm

there is a place in NYCity that makes the best chocolate pudding I've ever had

3:44 pm

3:45 pm

I know there's a place called SaraBeth's there, but can't remember if that's the place with the pudding

3:46 pm

it's a coffee shop, they also sell PB&J sandwiches, i remember that

3:46 pm

I used to have to go into NY for meetings in Chelsea Market once a month, and every trip in I'd buy 2 jars of pudding

3:47 pm

6:40 pm

*writing down Jess's advice*

6:40 pm

6:41 pm

Yes, I think I know what the caterpillar was smoking. I shall stop at the end, also.

6:42 pm

6:43 pm

hmm. your first word didn't happen to be the ca9, did it?

6:45 pm

hego maybe?

6:45 pm

Hm, ca9--is it something to do with being a meat-eater? I cannot get the ending. hi Oodle

6:45 pm

no, my first word was one who loves the stage. Now looking at the ca words.

6:45 pm

dunno. trying all the ways i can think to end that meat eater, and none are working

6:46 pm

Imagine a meat eater mineral.

6:46 pm

A brand of gluten-free food OUGHT to be called "Scared Out of My Wheat."

6:46 pm

TY, Vicuna

7:06 pm

I have it a lot, depending on what I eat---I pop ranitidine when needed

7:07 pm

thankfully it is not common here... just occasional if I overdo it

Aloha fellow BABs. I am just back from a 5 hour whale watching/snorkelling trip along the coast of southern Kauai. A perfect day. A pod of aggressive males tagged alongside the craft for 45 minutes each trying to out do the others!

7:08 pm

So cool, joan!

7:09 pm

And I shoveled snow in 24 F

I have been thinking about all the folks in the cold hinterlands. Many the winter pass quickly.

7:09 pm

Aloha joan we are sitting here thinking about grey skies and turning on the lights. No whales around here today, just ducks.

I hope we aren't going to be too rudely shocked by the

drifts

7:10 pm

evening all

when we return home. You can tell I seldom chat!

7:10 pm

The closest we come to whales is occasional fish slap.

7:11 pm

Hi Dan. I saw 3 newborns in the office today--thinking of you

7:11 pm

Hi Dan, hope your evening goes well.

The dolphins were preforming too. We have known the skipper for more than 20 years and even he was amazed

Sad news tonight. We lost our little Chihuahua today. She was born with a hole in her heart and wasn't expected to live over 6 mos. to a year, but she lasted 6 years.

7:12 pm

neat Scrabbs! We had our fetal echo today. My new favorite word is "normal" - can't hear it enough

7:12 pm

One set of parents with newborn boy have 24 mo triplets at home so having a singleton is a breeze

Aw, Rump...so sad to lose a pet companion!

by all the creatures that we saw today. Turtles, spinner dolphin, and bottle nosed.

7:12 pm

Why a fetal echo, Dan?

Thanks guys, even though I still have 6 big Deerhounds, she still took a big piece of my heart with her. She is at the Rainbow Bridge with all my other lost babies now.

mrs2bit is insulin resistant - well controlled (A1Cs have been good through 21 weeks), but gestational diabetes is expected

7:13 pm

can anyi help with ca9 please?

7:14 pm

OK, Dan, then normal = great news

7:14 pm

ca9 = beginning of meat-eater + ending sounds like a mineral

car + opp.of yes + not loose

7:15 pm

Hello everyone. I have 3 words left and it's gone 1am here so I'm going to have to ask for clues :)

Hi Van, some of ask much sooner than that.

7:16 pm

I wonder if anyone could help me with ca5/16, or5/10 and ov5/16?

7:17 pm

or5= to give a speech, ov5 = swap R for V

7:17 pm

It is a variant of a person who works in a carnival.

ca5/16 like ca6/27 without the vowel

7:17 pm

thank you scrabbler!!

7:17 pm

ca5/15= high tile at end

7:17 pm

That is the ca5

Hi To, Night Scrabs

7:42 pm

SWEET DREAMS, COUSIN!

7:42 pm

stiddy!

hi dawg. hi wht

hi dawg. hi wht6

7:43 pm

Hey LBD! how's you?

7:43 pm

stidkid got his hair cut, since the last time i saw a pic of him!

7:43 pm

i'm doing well, stid. how's the tummy?

7:43 pm

my computer is booting up SOOOOOO slowly

7:43 pm

LOL yes, that was last summer, LBD. it's grown out a bit since then.

7:44 pm

tummy is better, still a bit of a wimp at times, but I am eating real food again.

7:44 pm

how was your visit with the grands, LBD? I never did hear!

7:45 pm

so glad to hear you're feeling weller!

7:45 pm

Stid, that's a great pic!

7:45 pm

visit with the grands was amazing. The baby is just too adorable! the loudest noise she made sounded more like humming

7:45 pm

yep, me too! I have to get up early (5:30) tomorrow to go do my practicum in a nearby town. VERY excited, and very nervous.

7:46 pm

thanks Nancy Boy! how are you doing? recovered from your revels?

7:46 pm

Grandson is a four year old terror! but he loves his grampa and loves shoveling snow!

7:46 pm

NANCYBOY!!!

7:46 pm

Just about Stid :) though it feels (and sounds!) like if you live where I live, every night is NYE...

7:46 pm

so glad you had a good time with the little ones. I was looking at a few pics of my boys with Mother when they were little. Such a precious, wondrous time in a child's life.

7:46 pm

Ibd!! I haven't seen you on here in aaaages :D

7:46 pm

4 year olds are GOOD helpers!

7:47 pm

Why is it that kid's loose interest in shoveling snow just when they are old enough to get good at it?

7:47 pm

Been busy with the grandkids and family, NB. had to do the grid at o'dark early before everyone was up and making noise!

7:48 pm

ugh...well I have just been enjoying all this GREAT snow...it's incredible!

7:48 pm

Grandson didn't want to use the "little boy" shovel. he used a regulation shovel and did a great job on the driveway!

7:48 pm

LOL wht! beats me, but the same happened with dusting, sweeping and vacuuming.

7:49 pm

he's definitely an outside boy. no help in the house except to make a mess with his daddy and grampa

7:50 pm

For what it's worth, they seem to come back around somewhere around 20.

7:50 pm

so one year left before I'm helpful, wht? ;)

7:51 pm

I remember when my son turned into a human being. He was around 18. real amazing turn around.

7:51 pm

or one year before you're useful, NB? *ducks withering glare*

7:51 pm

LOL Ibd!

7:52 pm

you can't duck it Stid, it's like a snowball, no matter where you are it hits you riiiight in the face and also somehow trickles down your back ;)

7:52 pm

Something like that, NB. But I am working with a sample size of 2.

7:52 pm

i love the comic strip Zits. that was so much my kid! obtuse to the world.

7:52 pm

LOL *offers conciliatory choclits*

7:52 pm

but you're right, I'm not a useful person, I'm an...ornamental person *preens*

7:52 pm

NB, your usefulness here is pure entertainment!

7:53 pm

Jill reminded me of Zits when I was struggling with parenting teens a few years back... it helped me regain perspectivce.

7:53 pm

Well I try Ibd ;)

7:53 pm

evening all

7:53 pm

It really does bring "reality" to a new level.

7:54 pm

Pini!

7:54 pm

You all have so much more patience than me...I don't think I could ever parent a teenager. Obviously that situation will never present itself, but...man

7:54 pm

Hi Pini.

7:54 pm

hi wht ;)

7:54 pm

hey pini. oh gee. florida is seeing temps below freezing. this is horrible.

7:54 pm

may I get a clue for the 2 lower A's in the 3rd column? (for NBT)

7:54 pm

hey stid ;)

7:55 pm

Don't be so sure, NB. You never know what might happen.

7:55 pm

I really think parents should be able to trade out their teenagers for someone elses teenagers. For some reason someone elses kids aren't so bad to reason with

7:55 pm

ae4 - a long time

7:55 pm

thx wht ;)

7:55 pm

it is so very bad back east *very worried sad mama look* so many plants and animals will not survive. and many humans are really in trouble too.

7:56 pm

ar + **lleyball is a summer sport

7:56 pm

thanks for the long time wht

7:56 pm

I still think that (if you have the money) military school would be a fine idea ... we didn't have the money.

7:56 pm

at5 x 2 Make amends and an award for Broadway plays.

7:56 pm

Well Wht, I can be at least 98% sure about the no kids thing, as I'm at least 99% sure about the no marriage thing, and I'm definitely 100% sure about the no girls thing...;)

7:56 pm

it is worrisome how the south is getting pelted with this cold front.

7:57 pm

* pondering the award for broadway play *

7:57 pm

adoption, NB?

7:58 pm

You still don't know. Here in Massachusetts there are plenty of married couples with children and no girls.

7:58 pm

I'd adopt NB any day, LBD!

7:58 pm

a + Mr. Bennett...left his heart in SF

7:58 pm

hi, folks ... just how much useful stuff can one welki do when tiny grids are all done?

7:58 pm

he's just old enough now to be interesting.... (like Indiana Jone's father said)

7:58 pm

hey welki!

7:58 pm

Hi Welki! you can come over here and we can clean my house! lol

7:58 pm

have that one, lbd ;)

7:58 pm

LOL. Leo and I would be hopeless. We wouldn't know which way the head went on ;)

7:58 pm

My brothers have dogs and cats instead of children, NB. Works for them!

7:59 pm

Hi welki, weren't you complaining about the large grids just a few days ago?

7:59 pm

never

7:59 pm

Works for me, Stid! To prove it Lola is snoozing on my lap :)

7:59 pm

i mean ... nevah! i love the big grids!

7:59 pm

that's the broadway play award, Pini.

7:59 pm

<--- never going to finish! But I'm OK with that!

7:59 pm

NB, the biggest challenge in parenting is not which way the head goes on, but resisting the impulse to remove it. :^)

8:00 pm

oh, thx lbd!

8:00 pm

*admires Lola* when are you going to post a pic of her?

8:00 pm

Git 'r dun, Pini! it's only 87 words!

8:00 pm

LOL Wht!!

8:00 pm

lol wht! amen to that!

8:01 pm

but I have 58 more to find! :(

8:01 pm

brb, need some tea.

8:01 pm

oh Stid I don't have the heart! she looks so affronted at the camera flash...(I am keeping in her good books; she loves me more than Leo 'cause I spoil her!)

8:01 pm

go pini go!

8:01 pm

nice one, wht!

8:02 pm

well, I am stalled for the moment. I will go do homework for a while and come back later to finish and clue and visit. (((hugs everyone))) remember to eat your sweet potatoe pie! *mini poof*

Glad you made it safely, Pini.

8:07 pm

how do I interpret the X/Y boxes in Tile Stats?

8:07 pm

* beaming * thx wht ;)

8:08 pm

The number of words starting with that letter and the number that you have found.

8:08 pm

the first number is how many you've found of the second number which is how many words in the grid that start with that letter

8:08 pm

ah, thanks

8:10 pm

When someone says NBT in the chog it means that they have no un-greyed stat box with a 0 on the left.

8:12 pm

NBS means you have found at least one word of each length available (under Word Stats)

8:12 pm

8:13 pm

8:39 pm

Trif, sometimes when it is really cold out and I think of the homeless, I pop into a Hostel and pay for someone to stay the night in case they have someone try. It makes me feel like I am doing something, the Hostels like it and some of the homeless refuse to go to crash places because of the bedbugs and other filth that hostels don't have. (just an idea)

8:40 pm

V's vanquished!

8:40 pm

welki, you'd have to take that up with Lickety.

8:44 pm

then i did?

8:45 pm

well done Pini. You were fast tonight

8:45 pm

does it get hectic in here when a new puzzle comes in?

8:45 pm

guess i'd better fire off an apology.

8:46 pm

since he doesn't charge for the use, I don't think so, but I don't know if he keeps track of who he sends it out to or not.

8:46 pm

can't answer that, gremlinn, I'm not usually awake when the change occurs.

8:46 pm

guess I'll find out later tonight...

8:46 pm

2nd no4?

8:47 pm

no + please **ke a number

8:47 pm

ty

8:48 pm

ah, found the "view the entire chat log" thing...looks like it's not particularly hectic

8:49 pm

gremlinn there is an etiquette at the change that says everyone searches like crazy for the first hour and just posts any long ones they find, like di7.

8:49 pm

you'll meet the real diehards at that hour, grem

8:49 pm

You can begin to help each other with clues after the first hour but if it is a big grid, you may not have much luck.

8:50 pm

LOL lbd, I am not a diehard, just in the right time zone. It happens at 10:00 pm here so I sometimes play for a while before bed

8:51 pm

Heyas kids ..

8:51 pm

Hey torgone

8:51 pm

Donc Enomis? Tu es parfaitement bilingue? moi je me débrouille très bien en français mais je ne suis pas 'parfaitement' bilingue.

8:51 pm

just teasing, bugs. I've only done the flip a few times. it's fun, but my brain just isn't in gear to find many words

8:51 pm

hello torgone. You good today?

8:51 pm

hiya torg!

8:52 pm

hi torg

8:52 pm

I'm good ..You?

8:53 pm

That is why I only work on it sometimes and just for a bit lbd, but there are some diehards from other time zones there! You are not far wrong.

8:53 pm

I just didn't want gremlinn to be intimidated and not come

8:53 pm

pretty good today, thanks. getting a new 'do tomorrow, and then working --> rather chuffed about both!

8:54 pm

I am too tired to wait for the flip... I had a hard time staying awake for new years let alone waiting for 01h00 for the flip....zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

8:54 pm

Oh, I think Grem will be brave and hop right in. I think we've got another convert! :-)

8:54 pm

How is work Trifs?

8:54 pm

Oodle, je suis assez bilingue je ne sais pas si c'est parfait mais c'est assez pour me faire comprendre!

8:55 pm

27 left, am going to bed, see you all tomorrow?

8:55 pm

sorry to have just disappeared like that. Our neighbor backed out of her driveway and hit my daughter's fiance's car.

8:55 pm

8:55 pm

10:50 pm

*get rid of that. I should perhaps get rid of this almost dead keyboard later, I have 2 more waiting in the wings.

10:50 pm

I got fireworks...still very new for me!

10:50 pm

10:51 pm

Well done apr. *~*~*~*~

10:51 pm

TY...I'm off to bed, unless I can offer anyone any help!

10:51 pm

jac would you like to clue the ca9?

10:52 pm

Dormez bien, Avrilx

10:53 pm

the clue has been for ca/9: auto + opposite of yes + opposite of loose

10:53 pm

berri - ca9 = ca* (what you drive to work in) +negative + slange word for breast + vowel.

10:54 pm

Bloody keyboard! I hope you got that clue, Berri.

10:55 pm

thanks jac

10:55 pm

driving thing PLUS negative PLUS slang word for fosom + vowel.

10:56 pm

fosom? Thi keyboard is definitely going in the bin later.

10:56 pm

y/w berri.

10:57 pm

I suppose this keyboard's doe it's time. It's been taken to bits at least 8 times and cleanrf up.

10:58 pm

AArgh, I did a srurious it's there.

10:58 pm

Or even a spurious its.

10:59 pm

Yes, this keyboard IS dead; it's even harder to type on than the old sit up and beg manual keyboards I originally learned to touch type back in the late 60s.

11:02 pm

And, in those days, using carbon paper to make copies, if you made a mistake and you weren't ptoficient with a typewriter eraser (I was!) then you had to type th whole thing again.

11:02 pm

*proficient

z

11:03 pm

z - sounds like a plan at 5.03 am.

11:05 pm

I was lucky! Not only did I have a seasoned typist to teach me (my Mum) but also an artist's eye to get back to exactly the right place on the paper (my Dad's gift to me).

11:07 pm

Back in th 70s, when I was a typing pool boss, many of my typists blessed me for that skill. LOL.

11:09 pm

Any clues needed before I erase, Tippex or Snopake the Babble site out of sight?

sorry dog typing

11:10 pm

word stats: X/Y means you've found X words out of Y total of that length

11:37 pm

the tiles tell you how many words start with the letter in the tile.

11:37 pm

tile stats: each spot matches up to one letter of the grid: X/Y means you've found X words that start with that letter out of Y total

kje, I guess they're indigenous to Japan

11:47 pm

very cool though

11:48 pm

I've heard of a turnip;-)

11:49 pm

there's a warning in the wikipedia site about the Japanese parsley and toxicity in the other members of that family

11:49 pm

turnip, daikon, parsley, chick weed yes

11:49 pm

thanks jillibus

11:49 pm

haha, robbie

11:49 pm

shepherds purse, cudweed, nipplewort - no

11:50 pm

but you know, there MUST be a story behind nipplewort

11:51 pm

what a name! it sounds uncomfortable

11:51 pm

and here it is...

11:51 pm

For 350 years it has been going under the book name Nipplewort, coined by John Parkinson: "Camerarius [a Nuremberg physician and botanist] saith that in Prussia they call it Papillaris, because it is good to heale the ulcers of the nipples of womens breasts, and thereupon I have intituled it Nipplewort in English." Theatrum Botanicum; or an Herball of Large Extent, 1640, page 811.

11:51 pm

prob used when nursing

11:52 pm

see..i thought it was uncomfortable;-)

11:52 pm

help please, in5 eludes me for fireworks!

11:53 pm

in + ***iable rate mortgage

11:53 pm

very interesting, kje -- thanks

11:53 pm

weird stuff, jilli

11:53 pm

thx kje - fireworks!

11:53 pm

wtg davurs

11:53 pm

wiki says this...The English name 'Nipplewort' derives from its closed flower buds, which resemble nipples. Because of its resemblance to nipples, under the doctrine of signatures it was once used as treatment for breast ulcers

11:54 pm

woohoo dav!

11:54 pm

doctrine of signatures - very interesting

11:54 pm

YAY dav!!!

11:54 pm

The doctrine of signatures is a philosophy shared by herbalists from the time of Dioscurides and Galen that is still reflected in the common names of some plants whose coincidental shapes and colors reminded the gatherers of such simples of the parts of the body where they could do good: liverwort; snakeroot, an antidote for snake venom; lungwort; bloodroot; toothwort; wormwood, to expel intestinal parasites; and the like.

11:55 pm

and that is our botany lesson for the evening

11:55 pm

11:56 pm
