good to hear; that is what she told us... they seem to be getting along well

3:27 am

hi ata, i have only found 1

3:27 am

3:37 am

Ata - you use FF I think, how long has the translation been available?

3:39 am

not sure, I stopped using FF *gasp*!

3:41 am

oh well, not important, just hadn't noticed until week or so ago. It's useful

well 14 left for tomorrow... falling asleep here

hugs till the morrow

3:41 am

goodnight Volley, sleep well

3:43 am

I never thought I'd find a browser I liked better. Till Chrome came along

3:43 am

What does Chrome do better?

3:43 am

Crossy was talking bout that recently

3:44 am

speed mainly. it's very intuitive to search - you just shove your search into the url bar. but it's so so fast

it's faster and it uses less of your computer's resources than ff

3:45 am

With my new computer, I don't have to worry about resources anymore, heh - was quite a relief

i notice a difference on a big imac

3:46 am

i notice a big difference on my laptop, and that's not exactly short on resources

3:47 am

I'm all for Chrome if it gives people one more way to give up IE.

chrome works well on almost all the sites i visit, but not all

i definitely use chrome for babble

3:47 am

do try chrome. it also seems more stable. I've never had it crash. yet. lol

3:48 am

I think I tried it one time, but I am happy with FF for now.

3:48 am

Have you tried Opera 10.50?

3:49 am

There's also this browser I heard about called Flock which is based off Firefox (and they try to keep things parallel to it) which has social network integration focus.

3:50 am

I think I only ever use Opera when I'm testing websites ...

one of the things that will hopefully always be great about firefox is open source

3:50 am

Flock isn't very stable, in my experience

3:50 am

I have tried the latest Opera, I think.

3:50 am

Never tried Flock, just heard about it recently.

3:50 am

10.50 is quite new and fast

3:51 am

flock is a great idea, not so great in actuality

3:51 am

I don't care about speed and stability and usability. All I care about is...perfect standards compliance!!!

3:52 am

Interesting about Flock -- my grand-cousin was working for them for a while but left -- don't know why. I've never tried it.

3:52 am

First implementations of great ideas often crash.

3:52 am

Good morning/evening all.

3:53 am

Haz! La Glitterata!

3:53 am

Hello!

3:55 am

we have a dog-filled grid today

3:55 am

Is Crufts still on? Is that why?

3:56 am

quite possibly

3:56 am

Bound to be. That's settled.

3:57 am

I want to get an affordable laptop -- what shall I get? I just misssed a golden opportunity --a second hand Sony VAIO SR140DS with Vista, loaded, for $600, listed locally -- someone got there ahead of me :(

3:57 am

Oh yes, of course, DrG in the US midwest knows about Crufts

3:58 am

Hello Haz

3:58 am

hi haz

3:58 am

Do I detect a slight whiff of sarcastic font? Clearly you don't share my faith in Dr-G.... Hello, jillibus!

3:58 am

And Andree, hello.

3:59 am

hehe Haz

4:00 am

we have co6s, ho5s, he6s, and nearly shelties and lu5ers

4:00 am

hi andree

4:01 am

If only there were corgies for the qu5.

4:01 am

and my granddaughter's pup is here (Arlo)

4:01 am

How about rottweiler? Close enough?

4:02 am

pugs were in yesterday

4:02 am

no Dane this time, though

4:04 am

oh, I'm over halfway and we lose an hour of sleep tonight (daylight saving starts) so I'd better go to bed -- busy day tomorrow with visiting grandson and his unwife

4:04 am

unwife!

4:05 am

this will only make sense to UK people but all I can see is lil-let

4:06 am

Ah, lynxx, begorrah, to be sure, to be sure..

hi ata, how are you feeling today?

4:10 am

4:11 am

Aren't you going to visit your mother for MOther's Day?

4:11 am

I'm not very good at quiet ...

4:11 am

no. she's miles away!

4:11 am

I did send her a card and present though

4:11 am

Mothers' Day is in May in US; is it today in UK or if only you're an Irish other

4:11 am

Love knows no distance....

4:12 am

wow, thats a guilt trip and a half Haz

4:12 am

*mother

4:12 am

Whoever wrote that was clearly a fool.

4:12 am

it doesn't. which is why Royal Mail is closing the distance for me

4:12 am

It's Mother's Day in UK and I assume Ireland as well.

4:13 am

and I will of course phone her

4:13 am

I don't know about here, my only *children* here are Ruby and Max and they don't say much

4:13 am

One daughter was being very complimentary to me when she wrote on my card that I'm a very good sp7/32. (She was listing my virtues)

4:13 am

but its not like I don't speak to her most days anyway!

4:14 am

looool. did she comment on you're grammer too?

4:14 am

lol, haz

4:14 am

Indeed she did. My grammar was praised as well.

4:15 am

phew

4:15 am

She knows what's important.

4:16 am

which daughter got the brownie points for those?

4:16 am

The younger one. The older one commended me for being right more often that not. I've raised those girls well.

4:16 am

they both did well then!

4:17 am

They're both in my good books for the day.

4:18 am

might you feed them more than gruel for the day?

4:18 am

Yes, younger one is away, of course, the older one will get at least one potato.

4:19 am

goodness. she will think herself honoured. the other one will have to make do with a virtual potato

4:20 am

I know - do you know you can buy tinned potatoes? Who ever thought of such a travesty?

4:20 am

tescos

4:20 am

not as bad as the dreaded whole-chicken-in-a-can

4:20 am

the person who thought of tinned asparagus of course

4:20 am

that's a horrible idea! how hard can it be to peel a potato and imagine how much salt they add

4:21 am

It's fascinating to me that you can buy tinned fried onions. Or frozen breakfast on a plate.

4:21 am

growing up, I only had tinned asparagus and hated them!

4:21 am

...as for tinned pumpkin

4:22 am

Big tins?

4:23 am

no no, wait, Libby's brand tinned pumpkin is the best way to make pumpkin pie! I've never been able to succeed with fresh.

4:23 am

the texture is perfect!

4:23 am

the ones with tinned are superb. My friends send it from the US!

4:24 am

I just don't understand, pumpkin cooks in flash.

4:24 am

yes, but the fresh kind is to watery to make a good flan-type filling that rises in the oven in my French pastry tart

4:24 am

it depends whether you're eating it as a veg or as pie!

4:25 am

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wVOmWiA 7hVo - whole chicken in a can. it's horrid!

4:25 am

next Thanksgiving, Lynxx, come to Frnce and I'll show you!

4:25 am

big can!

4:25 am

Worse than tinned pumpkin, Ata?

4:25 am

watch and see .......... *ominous noises*

4:25 am

I don't think I can look at that Ata, really

4:26 am

it's just - horrid!

4:27 am

Come on, lynxxx, you're Australian! You're brave and ready for anything!

4:27 am

I love this grid!

4:27 am

Wouldn't roasting then mashing give you the right texture Ruby?

4:27 am

good point, Haz :P

4:27 am

it's only 48 seconds long!

4:27 am

Morning all - on the chicken thing - whne i was very poor - a long time ago the local childrens charity gave out christmas boxes that had xmas dinner in tins with a toy - i had chicken in tin - turned it into soup

4:28 am

maybe, but when you make the pie, it is very easy to just beat in eggs and sugar and condensed milk and it's always perfect

4:28 am

Goodness, Kazzer, you're a recipient of chicken in a can? You've survived, that says something.

4:28 am

the grid or the pumpkin pie prep? lol

4:28 am

not been around much - have new morning routine - have to be out of the house by 0610 and dont get home till 1930

4:29 am

haz yes i did - it smelt disgusting

4:29 am

hi Kazz

4:29 am

was that a superior English chicken in a can though?

4:29 am

i can still remember it 34 years later

4:29 am

That's a demanding schedule, Kazzer, no wonder babble has taken a back seat.

4:29 am

i dont think so ata

4:29 am

TY Ata, I didn't really need to see raw chook in a can!

4:30 am

I have to say that I've eaten pretty disgusting foods around the world, but I'd never actually gagged just looking at something until I opened a chicken-in-a-can

4:30 am

it's cooked, lyn, not raw!

4:30 am

Why, is the chicken on the video an inferior foreign one?

4:30 am

hello babble friends. insomnia again -- ugh. on the plus side, it does mean I get to visit with you fine UK/aussie babblers!

4:30 am

Well, there's an encouragement to view a video - it made Ata puke.

4:30 am

chook is a word I've only learned since I've been playing scrabble and babble with people from Australia. I love the word, but is it acceptible in either game?

4:30 am

morning trif

4:31 am

Hello Trif!

4:31 am

hello trif. But what about us Frenchies???

4:31 am

No, chook isn't acknowledged by enable.

4:31 am

bonjour francaise!

4:31 am

the vid is from the US, I think

4:31 am

we only eat chickie from the farm shop now - they run around in the field at the back - very nice

4:31 am

oh my god - it is cooked (mictrowaved I suppose!) blech

4:31 am

merci trif!

4:31 am

Ah!

4:31 am

wasn't the video!! it was the Real THing.

4:31 am

We shall say no more....

4:32 am

mine came in thick globby jelly

4:32 am

So the video is okay? The real thing is the killer?

4:32 am

hi Trif

4:32 am

yep ... it's quite .... fowl. hahaha.

4:33 am

kaz: it probably made a great soup!

4:33 am

the video doesn't come with surround smell

4:33 am

have come late to this convo, but I must say, chicken in a can sounds gross.

4:33 am

Kazzer, if you could find out who manufactured/distributed the chicken, I'd say you could sue. The mental distress has obviously been enormous.

4:33 am

can't say it's worse than haggis, though

4:33 am

why don't they allow eel as a verb?

4:33 am

it did actually - i washed it off first and just ckucked in the rest of the tinned stuff - apart from the cream and the xmas pud of course

4:34 am

Haggis is an acquired taste, I'll grant you, but does it cause nightmares and uncalled for nausea?

4:34 am

Because eel isn't a verb?

4:34 am

um, yes, haz, it does.

4:34 am

and - LOL - when I decided that I couldn't face looking at the chicken-in-a-can any more, I offered some to Hobbit. She ran away.

4:35 am

I love haggis - we have it every burns day and i usually put a few in the freezer for later in the year

4:35 am

I've never had the opportunity to eat haggis but I think it must be like something the locals call "petit paquet", entrails wrapped in entrails, instant sick!

4:35 am

but whet about the eel fisherman, eelers?

4:35 am

Haggis is okay, I can eat it in small quantities. Don't forget that it's probably a big treat for people raised on porridge.

4:36 am

no - its all minced up with oats and seasoning. if you like liver you would probably like haggis and you can get it in synthetic casings

4:36 am

Yes, but they don't eel for eels, they fish for eels.

4:36 am

but you can be eelier

4:36 am

Haggis was only ever cooked in entrails, it's not done like that any more, some plasticky thing instead.

4:37 am

PL, you win, lol

4:37 am

now thats dispusting food - eels - they give me the heebie jeebies

4:37 am

a good new england girl, I eat every single thing the sea offers, and happily so. I think if you fed me eel in a fish dish of some kind, and didnt' tell me what it was, I would happily nosh away. However, if you said "oh, ElizaBeth, try the eel!" I am not sure I could get over the psychology of what I was eating....

4:37 am

*OK*

4:37 am

eel is really really tasty

4:37 am

Lough Neagh, near here, is famous for its eels.

4:37 am

I think Italian food (eels in green jelly) and sushi got me over the "eel thing"

4:38 am

no i would even eat chicken in a tin over eels

Hi all...eel is part of the dinner of seven fishes at Christmas. It's pretty tasty in soup. But then again I wont eat liver.

4:38 am

grilled with a little miso sauce (and a lot of sake) might change your mind

4:38 am

Hello red.

4:38 am

river eels are yummy. sea eels aren't so yummy, but they still taste ok

4:38 am

hi red

4:38 am

morning Red

4:38 am

eel sushi is gorgeous

just "enjoying being up for Daylight savings time and work.....

4:39 am

sake on the side, not on the eel

4:39 am

no way - its not the taste its the concept of eels

4:39 am

You're not presented with a whole eel when you eat eel, just sections.

4:39 am

eels are just fishies!

4:39 am

Long, snaky fishies.

4:39 am

again, as long as I was eating in ignorance, all would be fine

4:39 am

dont care - i can see them wriggling away and thats it

4:39 am

I just don't like to catch them when I'm salt-water fishing. They are large, rown, nasty and have big teeth!

4:39 am

(Ata, do you suppose lots of babblers are heaving at the minute?)

4:39 am

brown

4:40 am

this is a great breakfast conversation!

4:40 am

I love eating marine eels. Revenge for the twice the buggers have bitten me

4:40 am

Random fact, this dog <---------- is making a sound like a pneumatic drill at the minute.

nah, I'm just drinking down coffee....had breakfast earlier with the chickie in a can mess...

4:40 am

did you all read The Tin Drum?

4:40 am

funnily enough when i was younger i had no problems eating conger eels and i think i could now as they are usually served as cutlets

4:40 am

I should really ring a vet to see if there's anything wrong - hold the receiver so they can hear...

4:41 am

awwwwww! snoozy spangle

4:41 am

yes, that's how I learned to NOT catch them in rivers!

4:41 am

only if it's been going on for at least 3 days, Haz

4:41 am

It's been 3 minutes. You think I should wait?

4:41 am

another minute or so

4:42 am

my poor stepmom was swimming in the chesapeake bay one summer, in about chest de4 water, when she saw something floating in the water...she went over to see what it was, and it was a barrel of bait eels that had fallen off a boat. When she turned the barrel to see, all the eels came swimming out and went all through her legs, under her arms, etc. to this day, I cannot understand HOW she did not have a cardiac arrest on the spot. talk of curiosity killing the cat!

youcould rush her off to the emergency vet....

4:42 am

Eeeeewwwwwwwwwww

4:42 am

We are the emergency vet....

Trif, I am surprised she didnt either, ick.

4:42 am

just don't take her to that mean vet that threatened to put her down

4:43 am

that's horrible; I don't think I could survive that!

4:43 am

No, we'll steer clear of him.

4:43 am

red! you can't sleep either huh?

well, Haz, in that case. shes already there. no need to rush.

4:43 am

dreams of eels!

No, I am about to go to work Trif.

4:44 am

is the noise respiratory?

4:44 am

i am off now to do some of the things i no longer have time for in the week, i will try to come back later - only 91 left to get. As an aside I did walk 12 miles yesterday!

4:44 am

wow! EARLY shift!

4:44 am

wow! EARLY shift!

excellent Kazz.

4:44 am

go you kazzer!!!

4:44 am

It's throaty. Seriously, she sounds like one of those drill things digging up the road.

Trif, its daylight savings time today, almost 6 am!

4:44 am

12 miles!

4:44 am

wow Kzz - you need today off! bye

4:44 am

12 miles! wow, I bow to Kazzer!

4:45 am

I'd be worried. But not worried enough until the emergenecy vet is either happily asleep or busy eating dinner

4:45 am

did she swallow something and it's stuck? hairball?

4:45 am

12 miles, and all on one chicken in a can!

4:45 am

my sis's little dog used to get furball things in his throat and make noises like that just before he was sick

4:45 am

ruby, don't worry, she's just happily asleep. Happily and noisily asleep.

or was it 12 miles to get away from the chook in the can?

4:45 am

and very snorily asleep!!

4:45 am

morning sandrafrances

4:55 am

4:55 am

i don't burn any part of a pine tree in the chimney, as it makes gross creosote that gums the chimney up something awful

4:56 am

I didn't know that, city girl manque! lol

4:56 am

de rien!

4:58 am

----> just considering writing a note on my head informing the children I was up half the night with insomnia, so let mommy sleep! (this assumes, of course, that I will fall asleep again tonight at some point....)

5:14 am

5:15 am

Well done Mudd that is not bad going

8:19 am

8:20 am

there are so many 7's; I've never seen this many before

8:20 am

what's nice about this grid is that so many words build on others

8:20 am

There is also a lot of 8's I didn't think I knew as many 7's and 8's lol

8:21 am

OMG I hadn't noticed! this could be a long grid!

8:22 am

I don't think I will be finishing it Katie lol

speaking of which, The Tudors just ran (again) on French TV

8:26 am

8:27 am

8:39 am

way to go Sally only 10 for me

8:40 am

None of them are weird, ruby, except perhaps one which is I think a measurement of an area, and which is used here a bit.

8:41 am

14 our of 16 is OK for me!

8:42 am

clue for the measurement one?

hello all.

mm, not the definition in dictionary.com, but I'm sure I have seen this in local ads for land for sale.

8:49 am

I only have one 8 and it is a un 8/50 compound word

8:50 am

my head is too American, now I see it

8:51 am

9:23 am

they have played well this season

9:24 am

it's the big SEC thingie!

9:24 am

they stomped TN in a surprise win :-)

9:25 am

I knew they played Friday and they play today because our youngest is fussing because he has to work

9:25 am

do you follow college ball Une?

9:25 am

noooooooooo

9:25 am

lol

9:26 am

only reason I know about it is that I stepped out of the downtown library Friday afternoon into a sea of blue! LOL

9:26 am

lol, Nashville isn't too far for the UK fans to go

9:26 am

they take their b-ball so seriously

9:26 am

true

9:27 am

I know -- one of my best friends is an INSANE fan! LOL

9:27 am

too seriously if you ask me. The players are treated like royalty

9:27 am

found sp7 x 4 -- are there more?

9:28 am

a friend of mine, her son-in-law doesn't want to go to his father in laws 60th birthday gathering because UK might be playing that day

9:28 am

LOL!

9:28 am

I don't know Une, I only have 2

9:28 am

ok thanks

95% of the males in this country will go insane beginning today

9:30 am

lol,there will be another ball game,the 60th birthday will never come again

9:30 am

thankfully my sweetie is in the 5%

9:30 am

aw mom :-)

9:31 am

actually I'm just as bad when it comes to men's tennis finals!

9:31 am

I know Crossy. She is thinking she will have to get nasty about this. Although most places will have TV's on when KY plays

9:31 am

there's nothing I am that fanatic about. People I am close to will always come first... even with babble ;)

9:32 am

Who was it that said sports is the opiate of the masses?

9:32 am

ah Sprite, I agree with you 100%

9:32 am

that's from the roman days, I believe

9:32 am

he could tape it and watch it when he gets home

9:33 am

bread and games?

9:33 am

I haven't been a sports nut since Johnny Bench played for the Cincinnati Reds in the 70's.

i thought that was religion?

9:33 am

just changed my icon -- Rafa's first match at Indian Wells is today!!

9:33 am

MOM LOL!!!!!!!!

9:33 am

9:34 am

he's defending his title at Indian Wells

9:34 am

this guy in your profile, Une?

9:35 am

yes, Rafael Nadal!!!

9:35 am

well I will confess I once almost drooled before the tv screen. Back in the days when national teams were still really national. There was this team from I believe the Ivory Coast, all big black men with gorgeous legs.

9:35 am

I don't follow tennis

9:35 am

lol Sprite

9:35 am

tennis is the only sport I follow, mom

9:36 am

Water beetles, pond skaters and so on, also tiny fresh water shrimps

Should have frog spawn by now but it has been so cold and frozen that the frogs are late doing what frogs do.

Very true - but she has lent her last name to the grid, for which, thanks.

You're right - a c0-king

1:56 pm

many thanks, helensgirl

1:56 pm

i saw one down last night, blocked my way to a friend's house,, then found many other roads blocked, so i suspect there were more.. fortunately i only lost some branches, but have had huge oaks come down on two separate occasions... one while i was looking out the window, so i saw it fall (and just miss my house by about 3 feet!)

1:56 pm

2:13 pm

Bye Ruby

2:14 pm

thank you, I'll probably think of the q in the middle of the nite!

2:14 pm

I may go for a walk later.

2:14 pm

walk? not ski? is it all slush now?

2:15 pm

There will be soft snow--tough to ski through. I could snow shoe I guess.

2:16 pm

ar6/24?

2:16 pm

How are the Stid boys doing?

2:16 pm

snow of any kind would make me want to stay inside. I am blissfully relaxing this weekend.

2:17 pm

the boys are well. the elder is practicing the trumpet, the younger steadfastly ignoring the trombone...

2:17 pm

Tom is up and about "doing" dishes or bread, I think. he's in the kitchen.

a circle, harpjane

2:18 pm

I did a 2 hr walk/hike with a friend on Friday--probably 7-8 miles--so I feel as though that takes care of my exercise quota for a few days.

2:18 pm

well. down to 98 suddently!

2:18 pm

I think I read about that one, scrabs. sounds exhausting!

2:18 pm

hm.

2:19 pm

Invigorating and then later exhausting--sore muscles and blisters on my feet.

2:20 pm

I spent all day yesterday in bed... resting up from the week. And went to the concert in Seattle last night, which was lovely. Tom drove, which was good because I wasn't ready to drive yet -- I really am too old to do "all nighters" at the end of the quarter.

2:21 pm

You deserve to rest, Stid.

2:21 pm

I think this coming quarter I will be better able to stay on top of things.

2:21 pm

what concert stid?

2:22 pm

*what kind of all-nighter?* *giggles*

2:22 pm

I know, but feel guilty for stilll feeling tired today!

2:22 pm

*go Tom go*

2:23 pm

I have been doing house chores--laundry, cleaning, painting,...

2:23 pm

At Benaroya, the Seattle Symphony. Had a guest conductor, James Gaffigan, and a pianist Ingrid Fliter. VERY fine concert.

2:23 pm

Silly Ruru! How is young Dylan?

2:23 pm

*stern mama look at ruru*

2:23 pm

We're moving house sometime in the next week, very excited

2:24 pm

Bye Jane

2:24 pm

well, I am stuck at 95 words, and have a personal desire to find the desk next to Tom's chair (where I have been working all quarter). It seems to have been covered by an avalanche of books and papers.,

2:24 pm

How old are your girls now, kth?

2:25 pm

they're 9, 7 and 5 with birthdays coming up may/june

2:25 pm

so see you-all again soon, I hope. Don't be a stranger, kate!

Hi Doren! I was thinking of you and Owl when I Temple Univ beat Richmond a while ago.

2:27 pm

thank you

2:27 pm

oh, glad to hear it scrabs. ( tho i pay no ttention to that stuff)

2:27 pm

I finally remembered that name of that cake. TY

2:28 pm

ruru-- rudy is (was?) lovely

2:28 pm

evening, all :)

2:29 pm

hello nancy

2:29 pm

Hi NB

2:29 pm

was.. he was a great, great dog

2:30 pm

I love this grid, but it's been an education. My clue for the day would be if you can't find a longish word, add -ed, en, or er to the end of what you last worked on.

2:30 pm

Some results are really questionable, but they're accepted so ....

2:30 pm

yes mudd, that is frequently the case

2:30 pm

I have a new pet as of today. I found a baby mouse in the basement, easily caught him, and put him in an old hamster cage. He is really tiny and now hops into my hand when I put my hand down to his level.

Sometimes -et

2:31 pm

Hi hgk

2:31 pm

that sounds really cute scrabbler

2:31 pm

that, too

2:31 pm

hello everyone

2:31 pm

Scrabbler, that's the most adorable thing I've EVER heard.

2:31 pm

oh this must be the season. my less than talented cat (the male, not lucy) chased one into my bedroom the other morning, chased all around the room, and LOST it!

2:31 pm

I know that some people would kill a mouse or reaily put out mouse poison, but I like mice.

2:32 pm

Hi Annie

2:32 pm

i think they're cute actually, but prefer to see them outside. hi annie

2:32 pm

lol, Dorens! Our kitty, Lola, is a bit scared of mice.

2:32 pm

I cant stop entering chortle...someone stop me, hi Scrabbs, are you naming the little guy?

2:32 pm

hi dorens

2:32 pm

we used to have pet mice

2:32 pm

i like have-a-heart traps.. then let them out. have a larger one for the groundhogs... and take them to woods

2:33 pm

I wondered whether to share my story but I am glad that I did. This wee mouse was slowly exploring the basement--he must have been so confused and lonely and probably recently out of the nest.

2:34 pm

Good for you, Doren. I need to get some for the remaining mice residents. I also figured out their entry point from garage to basement and must block that off.

2:36 pm

Scrabbs, that's just so cuuute. Are wild mice safe to keep as pets?

2:36 pm

anyone have the last ne 6/18?

2:36 pm

course if lucy finds them first, that's another story, but she hasn't in a while... guess they haven't been coming into the house as much as they used to

2:36 pm

never mind I found it

2:37 pm

I thought you would; strange, but easy.

2:39 pm

2:50 pm

what happened doren/

2:50 pm

here

2:50 pm

Hi Owl---I told Doren already that I thought of both of you when Temple beat Richmond earlier today

WHAT?! too bad school doesn't

2:50 pm

wow dorens.. how primitive

GO OWLS!

2:51 pm

just distracted

2:51 pm

torrential rains... 60 mp winds, and i live in a highly wooded area

2:51 pm

oh...

2:51 pm

can you go stay somehwere dorens?

we lost power for ove an hour, but it was late and gave me a good night's sleep. got tired of reading by flashlight.

2:51 pm

it was primitive last night ruru, camping out in my bedroom with a battery operated lantern and two quilts

2:51 pm

we have a generator now

2:51 pm

gotta go read a diego book to nick, bbl

is your whole neighborhood out?

2:52 pm

i am kje... ken's in sanibel but i have the run of the house... not too bad, particularly when i figured out how to reboot his wireless and get on to babble

2:52 pm

sounds like girl scouts dorens

2:52 pm

Whenever blackouts occur I have great appreciation for those who lived (and still live) without electricity.

2:52 pm

actually no, owl, just my block.. which is why i'm not High Priority and will not be done till tuesday

2:52 pm

but no s'mores ruru

2:53 pm

ruru, you'd appreciate this... i'm at ken's house with his 4,000 bottles in the cellar... many silver oaks, but i want the old french burgundies myself

2:53 pm

we have a neighbor that doesn't use electricity

are the cats with you?

2:53 pm

he can have the Silver Oaks.. ugh

2:53 pm

4000 bottles?!

2:53 pm

Why not, Ru?

2:54 pm

I am with you on the burgundies Dorens

2:54 pm

4000 bottles!!! That takes a lot of space! And are they indexed?

2:54 pm

no.. i think they'd be more upset b the move than they are being home alone for a few days. and i sort of agree ru.. silver oak doesn't do it for me, but he's got thousands of dollars worth

2:54 pm

*hides under desk*

2:55 pm

he has a large cellar, and they are indexed in someway in his head -- he knows what's where... i sure don't

2:55 pm

I can't stand Silver Oak ...

2:55 pm

I would rather eat pickles all day

2:55 pm

actually I'm a happy camper with a nice Cotes du Rhone :-)

it is still raining here

2:55 pm

(me too)

2:55 pm

TO LOVE your icon!!

2:55 pm

he made an obscene amount of money in wall street in the 80's, and put a lot of it into wine at the time. but he is also a generous philanthropist, so it's not all that bad

2:55 pm

I can recommend a good one une

2:56 pm

okay

2:56 pm

une i love nice cotes du rhones as well....

2:56 pm

2007 Domaine de la Solitude Cotes du Rhone Rouge ($12)

2:56 pm

but when this stuff is around, you don't turn your nose up at it (the burgundies, particularly 82's and 85's)

2:56 pm

cool, thanks!

2:57 pm

85's... swoon

i cannot seem to develop a taste for wine. how does one? it is too astringent to me.

2:57 pm

i'm copying that down as well... i do need my own cellar

2:57 pm

here's another une:

2:57 pm

fire away, ruru!

2:57 pm

2007 Chateau Montmirail Vacqueyras Cuvee Deux Freres ($20)

2:58 pm

It is killer...

2:58 pm

oooh . . . you know what? I'll get some and take it to UMich for my daughter's graduation!

2:58 pm

i'll recommend that one to ken

2:58 pm

I'm allowed to give consumables only

2:58 pm

there are wines that are not astringent owl

2:59 pm

she and her boyfriend don't want to be "burdened with possessions"

2:59 pm

It is the best deal in Rhone red from a great vintage that I have found so far

2:59 pm

:-D

2:59 pm

i never thought of wine as astringent

2:59 pm

buy them some bell bottom pants une.. jeezus

3:00 pm

thanks much for the recommendations, ruru!

well then i guess i just plain flat out don't like it. as i said, i am not at all knowledgeable about wine as kje and you are

3:00 pm

which, the solitude or the 007 Chateau Montmirail Vacqueyras Cuvee Deux Freres?

3:00 pm

yew bet

3:00 pm

3:00 pm

I need to go walk mr. D..later taters

3:00 pm

3:00 pm

I've never really liked wine either, I don't drink at all now so it suits me quite well!

3:00 pm

3:03 pm

Yahoo Merk!

3:03 pm

I would rather eat sheetrock than lima beans

3:03 pm

TO - i am not knowledgeable AT ALL.. just enjoy it

3:03 pm

well, here it would be astronomical then -- Tennessee has ridiculous liquor laws

3:04 pm

I don't consume alcohol but I occasionally drink grape juice to get the benefits.

3:04 pm

I liked lima beans as a kid, not now though.

3:04 pm

ty, ta ta

3:04 pm

hope I can find both, ruru -- since this will be a special occasion!

3:04 pm

congrats, merk!!

Hi FM and Scrabbler. Shirlock: what you write to pay a bill, english style

3:34 pm

o lord, i even thought about that word

(I was trying to avoid Mom's word for fear of the PB!)

3:35 pm

I will te4 my story again. I found a baby mouse slowly wandering around my basement, easily caught him, and will keep him as a pet. I dug out old supplies from hamster/gerbil/mice days.

3:35 pm

hmmm, what did I say

3:36 pm

Mom, the word with the gerund ending?

3:36 pm

oh man! Off to the PB where I have stocked it with Girl Scout Thin Mints

Goodness, Scrabbler! He wouldn't last very long in this cat-full house!

3:36 pm

Annie!!!!!

3:36 pm

((Mom))) Thin Mints...I will join you soon

3:36 pm

scrabs, I used to have a springer spaniel who would run AWAY from mice LOL

3:36 pm

{{Annie}} also the he 5/12 greeting

mmm, love mints. Will have to accidentally use a word.

3:36 pm

FM!!!!! Wonderful to see you.

3:37 pm

annie!!

3:37 pm

I have seen evidence of mice in my basement but today I actually saw this one wandering. Poor little guy.

3:37 pm

Sally and Annie, make sure it is one I don't have when you "accidentally" use a word

3:37 pm

I think it is a male and am thinking of names.

3:37 pm

Lovely to see you too,hope all is well with you and yours.

3:37 pm

Hi Ata!!!!

3:37 pm

Sily ran away from a mouse too ...

3:37 pm

oh Scrabbler, I would be freaking out

3:37 pm

Scrabbs, are you naming the little guy?

3:37 pm

scrabbs, he's looking for his Snuggie!

3:38 pm

it's coooold outside!

3:38 pm

lol Ata

3:38 pm

Why Mom? They are adorable. Yes, the bigger issue is mice in my house and I will work on that with the safe traps and blocking the entrance between garage + basement.

3:38 pm

FM, I had a perfectly lousy awful stomach flu for a few days but I am feeling very well now.

3:38 pm

Silly Sily!

Ata, we once had a cat who rounded the barbecue and saw a bird the other side., He (the cat) jumped so that all four feet left the ground! Wish I had had a camera to hand.

3:39 pm

I do not like rodents of any kind

3:39 pm

glad you're all better, annie!

3:39 pm

it was very embarrassing

3:39 pm

It has been the most lovely spring weekend here, gives one the rememberance that winter will go. Awe so sorry to hear that Annie.

3:39 pm

looooooooool!

3:39 pm

Initially the mouse was scared and tried to bite me (his wee teeth didn't cause any harm) but now he climbs into my hand.

3:39 pm

Annie, I'm sorry you weren't feeling well. Hope you will be on the mend soon

3:40 pm

mice are adorable

3:40 pm

Yuck, Annie. Stay hydrated.

3:40 pm

scrabs, sounds like a scene out of a Disney film! :-)

3:40 pm

Scrabbs, Have the bunnies seen the mouse yet?

3:40 pm

I will have to take his ic and post it in FB.

3:41 pm

I have a pair of field mice living in the garden and I spoted another one the other day (different cos it had a white bottom).

3:41 pm

I am better now. Thanks all for your kind comments.

3:41 pm

We once had pet mice. It didn't turn out well

3:41 pm

The mouse's cage is on a table in Miss Bea's room. Miss Bea might go on alert and thump when the mouse runs on the wheel.

3:41 pm

Field mice are cute.

I passed halfway! 142/137. I need a break. This grid has made me nearly brain-dead.

4:01 pm

Hi Seain

4:01 pm

hello, scrabbler :)

4:01 pm

Later, Scrabbs and hi dc

4:01 pm

married at the moment ... it might be a different matter rather soon!

4:01 pm

njoy ur break

4:02 pm

hi, annie, ata, and NB

Watch out Nancy Boy - then she'll have you for breach of promise!

4:02 pm

Hi, Seain! :)

4:03 pm

lmao :)

4:03 pm

it's okay Sally, I don't think I'm *quite* her type ;)

4:03 pm

firebirds!!

4:03 pm

did Summer Time start in EU also last night?

I'd never have guessed :-)

4:04 pm

YAY for Atalante!!!!!

4:04 pm

woo-hoo!

4:04 pm

congrats, ata!

4:04 pm

no dc

Congrats Ata!

4:04 pm

ah, when does it begin over there?

4:05 pm

2 weeks time I *think*

4:05 pm

cool, i'll look it up, and try to recall that it's only 4h later there for now :)

4:06 pm

I hate these few weeks of difference, it's very confusing

4:07 pm

i'd rather stay in this time year-round. we only spend 20 weeks/yr on so-called standard time.

4:08 pm

ditto

4:09 pm

the dried tortellini Tom bought are truly awful.

4:09 pm

i'm wondering if a good pesto would make them any better. one bag left to try that.

4:10 pm

you should live here Seain...we are too poor to afford alcohol AND food, guess which we choose though ;)

4:10 pm

we plenty of alchol - i plan to follow the horrible pasta up with some Wild Turkey

4:11 pm

and my typing indicates that my fingers think i've been imbibing already LOL

4:13 pm

ro5 after dice thrower?

4:15 pm

LOL Seain. There is a similarity..

ro 5/14 something spoiled + we **at in the log

4:16 pm

to, luv

4:16 pm

thx luv

yw

4:17 pm

at least you can get decent tequila up there, NB. It's impossibel in Kent!

4:18 pm

huh. that st5 is valid w/out an A in front

4:18 pm

clue please for the qu 9/55. my monkey is so tired

4:18 pm

i hate tequila, and we an get some real good stuff.

4:18 pm

8/55 that is

there's no q9 sammysmom

plural the 7/40 before it

4:18 pm

I always say Ata, if you can't find it anywhere, you can find it in London

4:18 pm

we get crap tequila. I only know one shop that sells decent stuff and that's in Soho

4:19 pm

what do you like, some can be sent.

4:19 pm

absolutely!

4:19 pm

email me, if you'd like

4:19 pm

I'm surviving till I move over there, then I can buy Patron at a price that doesn't kill me!

4:20 pm

but if I get desperate, I will - ty!! :)

4:20 pm

ah, planning to stay in Oregon?

4:20 pm

if the government will let me ...

4:21 pm

yes, the hard part that. Having worked for Customs, i know all about that.

4:21 pm

I *think* I can get a visa for visiting academics. I'm hoping anyway. At least for a few years

4:21 pm

if it helps, ata, you have a whole lot of very impressive babble friends who will vouch for you

4:21 pm

may it be so

4:22 pm

of course, it won't help, but it's still nice to think about

4:22 pm

oh yes ... if only it went on friends and how much they wanted you over there!

4:22 pm

still do not see the qu8/55..there is no way to make o plural of the 40 i havde before iut

4:23 pm

qu8 is plural of an odd-to-me qu7.40

4:23 pm

use a different 40 then

4:23 pm

there are 2 n's Sammy

4:23 pm

a shhhhhhy one!

to make someone silent and then plural

It isn't really a plural, but a mother qu8 her child by singing to it softly.

4:24 pm

i've never heard nor seen that qu7.40 before, sally. Is it used in England?

4:24 pm

oh yes, to qu7 something down

to make someone silent? Yes, are you sure you are thinking of the right word?

4:25 pm

i ned the que 8/55

take the qu 5/16 add 2/3 of the number after nine and then add plural letter

4:26 pm

and we've just been clueing it ;)

4:26 pm

Sammy - there re 2 n's - one is near the bottom

I think Sammy must be looking at the wrong Q word

4:28 pm

ohhhh, I need to decide what to wear this evening. I wish I had a virtual wardrobe so you all could help me decide!

wear red.

4:28 pm

where you going?

4:29 pm

If you were in Melbourne you would wear black

4:31 pm

last st6?

4:31 pm

is one who grows sp5.12 a sp7.32?

4:31 pm

probably just to heaven or something Seain :) few clubs and the like.

4:31 pm

is that after the German cake, shirl?

4:32 pm

yes, dcseain

4:32 pm

hm. black pants/shoes, bright white shirt and a snappy vest or blazer?

st + r**** the garden

4:33 pm

evening everyone

4:33 pm

oh, i had that. LOL sorry for not cluing. oft starts with A that st

4:33 pm

evening, katie

4:33 pm

hi Katie

4:33 pm

very classic ;) might have to doll it up a little though - there's been some issues on the door of heaven because now they won't let you in if you look "too straight"

Hi Katie

4:34 pm

hm. that ast5s me, but dolling up is easy.

4:35 pm

hmmmmm I can see why they would want to keep the majority of people in the club gay but isn't it difficult to decide who looks 'too straight'?

4:35 pm

some fun eye makeup could do well with that.

4:36 pm

yeah, that's kinda where i was katie.

4:36 pm

yep! and who am I kidding...I could never get mistaken for being too straight.

4:36 pm

Lol NB at least you will always get in. Need to be careful who you take with you though!

4:37 pm

i have a lovely turquise African Suit that might work.

4:37 pm

Bye all, BBL. Have fun tonight Nancy

4:37 pm

bye lynxxx, see you tomorrow

night lynxxx

4:37 pm

you're right, Katie...I don't know how they do it. I think it's just something to do with general outrageousness. which is strange, because you wouldn't expect such a strange stereotype from a gay establishment.

4:38 pm

Seain, I like the way your mind works.

4:39 pm

hello all

4:39 pm

I've had a straight friends that had to beat men off with a stick (he just had that 'look' which was nothing to do with the way he dressed) and a gay friend who no one would believe was gay, very difficult for both of them. I thought they should go out on the town together and swop who they attracted lol

4:39 pm

not even half way. ugh. hate long grids like this.

ooh, fireworks! Don't know how that happened, it just sort of crept up on me :-)

4:39 pm

slow grid for me 90 left

4:39 pm

4:40 pm

I'm shattered after a long weekend so I have no chance of finishing

4:41 pm

LOL Katie! Luckily, I'm a ticket of entry. Leo maaaay get stopped but I shouldn't have a hard time convincing people he's with me. and well done, Sally!!

4:41 pm

4:41 pm

4:41 pm

my last c is a co7/36 it is the second co7/36 or the third co/7 any help please

4:41 pm

4:42 pm

The last co 7/36 is difficult to clue. Thinking.

4:45 pm

famous conservative Ann Co*****

4:46 pm

If you reign jointly, you are co7s

Yay, halfway! Hi everyone

There is another last co 7/36 though.

4:46 pm

4:47 pm

OK Une, that name means nothing to me so didn't know which it was the clue for.

No idea who your conservative is Une - any other clues for that one?

4:47 pm

ty for the co7s :)

4:47 pm

congrats, speed, still have 8 to go . . . ugh

4:48 pm

hmmmm

4:48 pm

yes, with you on the hating her, une

4:48 pm

ugh ugh ugh

4:48 pm

ditto here with not liking her

OK, try this: co plus I have eaten, so I am f88l, then I might go and see the film the 888minator.

Sorry, the 8s should be **

4:49 pm

to clue tho, take the co** (young horse) add a vowel, then add hesitation sound

Thanks Sally and Shirl.

Oh, better clue than mine, Shirlock!

4:50 pm

5:09 pm

dc is trapped by a kitty!!!

5:09 pm

dr5, Wilma, very dr5. The Flinstones is only reason i know that word.

5:09 pm

Tom says i coddle the cat. ah, well

5:09 pm

really? didn't know orson bean?

5:09 pm

what's orson bean?

5:10 pm

a very dr*** guy

5:11 pm

ah, just read up on him. his stuff mostly predated me and didn't make into reruns in my life.

5:11 pm

my son and i saw a cartoon in the NYer that had as it's punchline "Can't you see I am trapped by a kitty?"

5:11 pm

will have to check out some of his work though, sounds interesting

5:12 pm

LOL jmc, yes, i can relate to that.

5:12 pm

he made wally cox look like slapstick

5:12 pm

she surprised me yesterday, i slid her off me into chair, and she kept sleeping.

5:12 pm

oh, cool!

5:12 pm

so our house now has the ru** that if you are trapped by a kitty the other person has to get everything

5:12 pm

:D as it should be, jmc

5:13 pm

that would work here, if she'd ever lay on Tom. They're an awful lot a like, which makes it awkward. Last night, she was curled up beside me on the bed. He sat down, petted her, and she hopped down, for example.

5:13 pm

6:27 pm

i just read about crewelwork. Years ago, a friend had a jewish wedding. A bunch of us were sent 10x10 inch squares to decorate and send back, which she and her mother and sister qu7 into the huppa. I was the only one who did needlework, which surprised me and her both.

6:28 pm

Phone.

6:28 pm

thanks for the advice PAV

6:29 pm

msu- ole miss?

6:29 pm

it took me the whole year to see ALL of campus...encourage him to make the time, it's a great place to be and learn

6:29 pm

Mich State..or Montana State or Miss State or Missouri State..any MSU is good...

6:30 pm

6:30 pm

hi folks- does anyone have all the lu's? I have 4/5 and 5/12 - gremlinn's list says there are two more - help, please?

yeah, I'm having to convince him somewhat since he's always been in a small school environment, he's rather intimidated by the largness

6:30 pm

another lu5 16 and pt for the 7

6:30 pm

lu5/16 - to move in awkward fashion and its past tense.

6:31 pm

i grew up in huge schools, went to a big Uni, too.

6:31 pm

thanks, Haz!

6:31 pm

I grew up in ADrian..Lenawee County..talk about small

6:31 pm

You're welcome.

6:31 pm

ty, haz and pav

Addams Family Butler...

well I find it ironic, he's going to major in international relations and wants to work overseas but wants to go to a small university...go figure

6:32 pm

How large is large and how small is small in US terms?

I believe the population of Michigan State University is 45,000+

6:33 pm

my middle school had 2200 students, and the HS i opted out of had 5000

6:33 pm

uni had only about 15000

and he was looking at a private university with under 5000 students but the cost was prohibitive

6:33 pm

my sister's uni had only 5000

his graduating class from high school with be under 100

6:34 pm

my HS class was 400...I was #39, but only because I got a C in AP Calc...I hated it...and eventually ended up taking calc six times over the course of my BBA and MBA..is it ne4ed...NO!

6:34 pm

Those school sizes are huge by British standards.

6:34 pm

friend of mine got a JD/MS in Int'l Relations from the Fletcher School of Tufts/Harvard.

sounds impressive dcseain

6:34 pm

typical for at least this part of Virginia those sizes. The smalles school in my district graduated 96 students the year i graduated HS, the largest graduated 1800.

6:35 pm

it's a good program. he went on to work for cell companies, doing pricing and marketing, and is working on a PHD in history, with an emphasis in the religious history of Wales.

6:36 pm

stats is so much easier than calc, in my opinion

well at least when he's at MSU he'll be attending James Madison college which specializes in Internatinal Relations so his core classes will be in a smaller environment but his math, science, etc. will be on the larger campus

6:36 pm

414 in my HS class

6:36 pm

hello...co 7/36 clue pls (2nd from last)

6:36 pm

co-monarchs are co7s

6:37 pm

7 in my HS class

6:37 pm

have him try MSU for the semester/year...it amy seem large but if he focuses on what he likes, it becomes very small...the football games are huge! and the social aspect was fun as well...

6:37 pm

co7/36 - one who reigns in partnership with another

co 7/36 co + the leader of a country

6:37 pm

for real, KJE? did you go to a private school?

6:37 pm

thanx Haz

6:37 pm

yes

6:37 pm

Has he taken any AP classes to opt out of basic courses?

yes PAV I think once he get used to it he'll be okay

6:37 pm

i was valedictorian... LOLOLOL

6:37 pm

ah, that makes sense :)

6:38 pm

You're welcome, kim.

he attended a school that teaches the International Baclaurate program so he should get college credit for some classes

he'll be able to take a higher French class since he's had four years of French already and probably a higher Spanish having completed 2 years of that

6:40 pm

that's good...I took four AP exams, was given advanced credit for three (not for Calc though), as a freshman, my Soc elective was Jr level political history of US..

6:40 pm

nbt ... 160 left ,,, bbl

6:40 pm

rats, this grid is endless, bbs

6:41 pm

my SPanish TA was from Puerto Rico, and hated that I didn't use an accent for my (spanish) surname...she downgraded me for it...and I never took another spanish class again

well sounds like a picky teacher to me

6:42 pm

co7/36?

6:42 pm

nm...that was lame - LOL

6:42 pm

she also didn't like me using words not in the vocabulary, even though they are accepted

conservative Anne Co.....

6:43 pm

i took a test in uni, and they gave me 12 credits of Spanish and told me to start in that coursework at eh 350 level.

6:43 pm

i never found it fruitful to argue with teachers just for the sake of pissing them off, pav

6:44 pm

what an ass of a TA you had, pav

or brother king

6:44 pm

I did have fun one class though, arguing the whole class away, the others were glad 'cuz most had not studied

6:46 pm

it wasn't so much a ne4 to be fruitful in arguing, because yes, they have the final say unless it's pretty bad, but this was about my name, and that I am half Puerto Rican and my family never uses an accent

that was for the co, kje

6:46 pm

ty italian

I think I would have to argue about how to spell or accent my last name too. My maiden name was unusual and I always had to explain and spell it but I was still proud of it

6:47 pm

some surnames have differently pronounced accented and unaccented variants, e.g. Vásquez and Vasquez

6:50 pm

I had a similar event in my MBA (first class on Ethics) where I argued that speaking in class about anything, just for the sake of hearing whether one can find articles to support a lesson or topic of interest, is not a good judge of a person's caliber. The "required speaking or relating of news articles" was not in the syllabus, and she used these as part of the grade. I told her in front of the class, "I come by my brown nose naturally", and if we didn't have "ethic" in our bones by then, her class wouldn't matter....

6:50 pm

cr7?

6:51 pm

9:18 pm

Here is my story of clues to te 4/4 today.I do not te 4/5 to be a lurker, however,when I en5/10ed Babble today, I was a qu 5/16 lurker. I dove de 4/6 into the grid today. I sp4/5 through the 1st 140 words.I was re6/18less to finish the grid.But my monkeys put me through he 4/5 today because they would not le 4/5 me a hand & I could not depe4/6 on them.They went haywire and I could not get them un 5/14 ontrol.So I prayed to the Lo 4/5 to help, but that did not help lo 4/4 either. So I re 6/21 on clues from chog. So now I consider this grid nu 4/5 and void. This grid gave me a head ac4/6.My head ac 5/16 long after I quit grid. After 158 words and 1986 points, I still didn't make a de 4/5 in graying any tiles.After I quit,I went to the de 4/5 to get some lunch.Then I just sp 4/5 the rest of the day hanging out ar 6/24 the house & watched tv. I would like to end this story by telling you that I st5/10 a list from gremlinn & put it in my profile.Well it is that ho4/6 when I have to pe4/5 my eyes of the computer and take my shower. Th 4/5 I am going to go get under my bed sh5/12s and nice warm qu 5/16.

9:18 pm

10:56 pm

Bugs, I TAUGHT a lesson on Thursday! AND according to the kids I polled, I rated at least a "solid B" LOL they thought I would be upset, but I thought it was great.

10:56 pm

YAY seain!

10:56 pm

WELL DONE Seain!

10:57 pm

I told them, so not horrible, but room for improvement -- I can live with that. (They loved that as a response)

wtg seain !!!! ~~~~ !!!!

10:57 pm

and well done stid! I think it is great that the kids gave you a B. It means they understood it but were still being loyal to their regular teacher whom they love without wanting to say it.

10:58 pm

:-D yep, that's what I thought. They are good kids.

10:58 pm

It is hard for student teachers to jump in and teach one lesson because you don't always know how well prepared they are for the info.

10:58 pm

good for you, stid! yay!

10:59 pm

thanks pippin!

howdy babble buds. just came back to finish. may i get a clue please for my last word? ch6/33

10:59 pm

well done stid -- being able to establish a rapport with the kids is 90% of what teaching is all about.

10:59 pm

I know Bugs -- the nice thing was it was a new unit, and I got to choose what to focus on and how to teach it!

10:59 pm

((nan)) thanks! wasn't sure you were still there!

11:00 pm

hey Do Do!

hey stiddie

11:00 pm

I am going to teach a mini lesson each week from now on! (the teacher was that pleased!)

11:00 pm

anyway, I am nervous about my faculty evaluation conference tomorrow, but hopeful I will get a "solid B" (they don't give letter grades actually)

ch6/33 clue pretty please?

11:01 pm

Of course the teacher is pleased with the student she got. It is YOU and you love what you do and you love the kids. That is what makes a good teacher

11:01 pm

ch 6: bank draft

11:01 pm

ch 6 is a british word for the paper you draw on your bank account

11:01 pm

or what nan said, concisely.

ch6, canadian of UK spelling of what you cash on Friday

of = or OY

tx. that's fireworks for me and to try to get some much needed sleep.
