heh, west - i'm in flagstaff so blame it on arizona

12:19 am

good story jilli

12:20 am

thought you might have left utah josh flagstaff's nice too

12:20 am

what's your final destination josh?

12:20 am

ty flosey

12:21 am

home, I would guess

12:21 am

I meant before heading home lol

12:21 am

unless he's moving

my final destination is ending up in toronto in time for the film festival in september

though i'll probably get there a few weeks early to spend quality time with the lady

and i am moving, incidentally

12:22 am

to where, josh?

12:22 am

sounds like a great trip and where are you moving? we need to have an open house for you

to toronto

12:22 am

but then the destination is home anyway

i am a nomad at heart, so in essence traveling is home for me

12:23 am

does that mean you have a new job?

12:23 am

oh you poor thing, josh (spoken as an ex-Montrealer)

12:23 am

home is where the heart is grem

not yet west. that is the fun task ahead of me. that and immigration

12:23 am

is there a rivalry jilli?

12:24 am

that will take awhile I hear

no kidding. it may be several months of waiting no matter how compelling my case is

12:24 am

long time rivalry, west, lol ;)

vive le quebec libre

12:25 am

but friendly jilli like Sydney and Melbourne

(remind me not to put that on my work permit application)

12:25 am

I guess so, west :)

12:25 am

I envy you josh..all that adventure ahead of you

12:26 am

grrrr, josh. I was talking anglo Montreal.

12:26 am

friendly like Sydney and Melbourne...hahaha

12:26 am

12:48 am

I just did for the oe then got the e

12:48 am

12:49 am

flosey has very clever monkeys

12:49 am

one eye west?

12:49 am

one eye? wassup?

12:49 am

george said take one eye out

12:49 am

groan

12:49 am

lol

12:49 am

lol, west - don't do everything everyone tells you!!

12:50 am

now I can get a patch and talk like a pirate arrr

12:50 am

If George told you to jump off a bridge, would you do that?!?

12:51 am

this grid is shaping up to be the kind I can't be bothered with, full of useless words

12:51 am

I would.

12:51 am

starting to feel that way too jilli

12:51 am

but only with a bungee cord

12:51 am

oh west, really?

12:52 am

I believe any grid that has 16 k words starts out badly

12:52 am

no flosey not really at all lol

12:52 am

I get nervous on a step stool

12:52 am

there are lots of words containing the k , I am surprised

12:52 am

but the k words came easily, only missing 1

12:53 am

good job flosey I have 8

12:53 am

Requesting stats for the southeast o, the word that will get me to halfway and nbt simultaneously!

12:53 am

well, west, this one only has 15 K words so you can relax, lol!

12:53 am

oo4

12:54 am

take the b off your galoshes

12:54 am

oe8/40, doug

12:54 am

on4/4

12:54 am

jilli I don't know 15 k words

12:54 am

no, sorry, that's the other o

12:54 am

thanks grem

12:54 am

oh, sorry, that was SW

12:54 am

haha, three different answers - take your pick

12:55 am

the oo4 was the right one

12:55 am

I don't think I do either, west

12:55 am

who knows directions..I thought you meant the righthand corner

12:55 am

well good for me lol

12:55 am

right-hand is SE, yes

12:56 am

what about Australia grem

12:56 am

was there someone who wanted to suggest a "rotate board" feature? Think about the confusion THAT would cause

12:56 am

good night all...happy Babbling *poof*

12:57 am

good night doug pleasant dreams

12:57 am

grem, the new grid will have that

12:57 am

good night Douglas

12:57 am

night, doug!

12:57 am

it was very helpful in tangle grem

12:57 am

but wouldn't be so helpful trying to clue

12:57 am

I always found it useless in sites that had it

12:57 am

after all, it's by studying a single orientation long enough that my brain finds the deeper patterns

12:58 am

I have nbt I've had it for awhile just didn't realize it

12:58 am

wtg west

12:59 am

thanks jilli

12:59 am

are you going to leave your brain to the Babble Institute Grem?

1:00 am

maybe start a theme park called Boggleland.

1:00 am

that would be great

1:00 am

i like moving the board -- it lets me see different patterns from the different angles

1:01 am

one of the animal mascots would be a tsetse fly

1:01 am

dcs: I would think perhaps that different people's brains learn different ways of playing the game, maybe

1:01 am

ah, just remembered another silly babblet, to5/10

1:01 am

and don't forget inia

1:02 am

if I rotate, I may as well be starting over

1:02 am

right, different strokes...

1:03 am

If I rotate I get dizzy

1:04 am

another thing I've noticed is that when I go from one Boggle site to another, I'm less good at playing for anywhere from a few minutes to a few hours, if the size or spacing of the letters is different on the new site

1:04 am

do you play these games all day, grem?

1:04 am

that's one of the worst aspects of Tangleword, the HUGE letter tiles

1:05 am

I did for a couple hours today, but usually these days I just have my 20 minutes of Babble.

1:07 am

it's probably been a couple years at least since I did anything but this or Wordsplay, too

1:07 am

fireworks

1:08 am

yay anike!!

1:08 am

wtg anike

1:08 am

I left for a few minutes it's pouring so hard I thought I left the water running

1:09 am

TY. Back to the grindstone. Have a good day everyone

1:09 am

YAY anike!!!

1:10 am

we're beginning to need rain here

1:11 am

4 more months until the next rain here, probably

1:12 am

yes, jilli, gardens need rain soon

1:12 am

it did manage to rain the morning our daughter got married in October but cleared up by afternoon..good thing too she was married on the beach

1:13 am

in Del Mar

1:13 am

we used to get daily rain in the Summers, but the last man summers have been drier, w/out the daily thunderstorms

1:13 am

(I keep having to take a coughing break)

1:13 am

allergies jilli?

1:13 am

that cough still lingering, jilli

1:14 am

Man summers - when it rains, it rains beer.

1:14 am

no, west, leftovers from a cold which started on June 24. I'm thoroughly fed up with it.

1:14 am

lol I can just see you all lying on your backs with your mouths open

1:15 am

oh no jilli are you taking anything?

no wonder the beer's so cheap over there, and tastes like rainwater, ha!

1:16 am

yeah, it's these dreaded man summers we always get

1:16 am

nah -- but if this goes on much longer I'll see what the doc says.

you musta sent them over there, cos now even we've been getting the awful sweltering heat!!

1:16 am

make yourself a nice hot toddy

1:17 am

for a moment I thought you meant Dr. God

1:17 am

Beer lovers say Canadian beer does NOT taste like rainwater.

yeah, Jill, that's not good, get it seen to!!

was talking about American beer, Jill, there is a difference, had both!

1:17 am

glad you differentiated, george ;)

drank mostly Heineken when I used to drink it anyhow, but yeah, had some Canadian beer, year ago

1:19 am

hubby drinks Heineken

was funny though, when she said it rains beer, couldn't resist saying that!!

1:19 am

I'm not a beer lover.

yeah, good for him!

1:19 am

neither am I and I've had Guiness

1:19 am

did I spell that right?

1:20 am

doesn't look right

1:20 am

two Ns maybe?

Guinness

1:20 am

But I don't mind Alexander Keith's India Pale Ale, with curries.

1:20 am

went camping in june -- we had to find various things around the campground and take pictures at one point. one item was Budweiser. It was hard to find, as but for one site, all were drinking heineken, molson's or microbrews.

yeah, gremlinn, it is with 2 n's

1:20 am

2 n's thanks george

did you see the last clip in my blog, Seain? ha!

1:21 am

i did :)

oh yeah, course you did, I'm not awake!

that was funny, what a freak!

1:22 am

the kids went to Ireland with sil's family and took a side trip to Belgium just to get beer

1:22 am

made in a monastery

blimey, that's a long way to go just to get some beer, when there's all sorts right in Ireland, ha!

1:22 am

Lurking fireworks for MetFan & Moi -- Nite all !

1:22 am

ale rather

oh yeah, but sounds funny when you put it like that!

1:23 am

Congrats to pugmet!!!

we had clouds and thunder, but no rain, earlier

1:26 am

but thanks, George.

1:26 am

does anyone have a clue for the so10?

doubt it would help me any!

1:26 am

female version of fraternities, change one consonant

1:26 am

We seldom get thunder-rumbles here.

1:26 am

thanks grem

1:27 am

thanks, got it

1:28 am

ah, lovely word! thanks, grem!

that doesn't work? the o's aren't in the right spots??

1:28 am

is it plural flosie?

1:28 am

it works, george.

1:29 am

yes, it's a pl.

well not for me, it won't!!

so you all must be a lot more clever!?

no, won't work, o's aren't in the right spots!

1:29 am

yes west

1:29 am

I'm not clever I can't get it either

1:29 am

it starts with a male offspring.

yeah, ta westford -- glad someone else sees it like I do!

ooh, ta -- got it now, ha! xx

1:30 am

oh thanks jilli that letter

the poof repoofed!!

1:34 am

wtg ruby

1:34 am

a new arrival here flosey

1:35 am

this is an easy grid it looks like

1:35 am

good for you, finding it so quickly, ruby!

1:35 am

not too bad ru

1:35 am

are you going to use jilli's menu today ruby?

1:35 am

was pretty easy, yeah

1:35 am

some found it easy -- I didn't.

over halfway, finally

1:36 am

wtg george

1:36 am

I am nowhere near I'd better get down to business

ta, Jill

1:36 am

can't list until I am

1:37 am

I still think roos should be a word -- must be my Aussie relatives sending messages.

1:37 am

the exterminators came today and put 3 traps in the fireplace big deal

yeah, should be, baby kangaroos!!

1:37 am

that's all, west?

1:37 am

halfway

1:37 am

aww kanga and roo

1:38 am

wtg ru

1:38 am

well, aren't baby roos called joeys?

1:38 am

that's all jilli said they'll be back in a few days

oh yeah, that's probably why, ha!

1:38 am

yeah, joeys - was trying to remember

1:38 am

well, yes, west.

1:38 am

and they had no idea what the typing sound was

what do I know? I spent my time in Aussie trying to avoid Norman Gunston and failing, ha!

1:39 am

Well, he's funny, George.

time in OZ or Australia, rather--that's how unawake I am, no wonder I can't make headway with this grid!!

well yeah, but you know, you hafta pretend he's not!

1:40 am

It must be hard to keep a straight face

eh, not really--he was pretty irritating, ha!

1:40 am

who is norman gunston?

1:40 am

I think I've seen that one.

1:40 am

you'll have to wait 'til the book comes out "My life as a Literate Squirrel"

I keep seeing kitties in the grid, won't work!!

1:41 am

mine certainly don't

hearing them mewling, too, must need more sleep!

1:41 am

the rain isn't moving

1:42 am

George, you tell ruru about norman gunston

1:42 am

sooner or litter george

oh, can't here

he's just someone to avoid in OZ, weirdo, ha!

1:42 am

he's a TV person, ruru.

messy, Jill

he's a comical character

1:44 am

like Dame Edna?

1:45 am

maybe you could google him, ruru.

sooner or litter? god that was bad, ru!!

1:46 am

why should I google him.. I have you

1:46 am

half way and I give up these are not real words

1:46 am

ruru is frequently bad ;-)

1:47 am

120

1:47 am

too right, west!

1:47 am

bye all for a bit

1:47 am

bye west, I'll wait for the book.....

1:47 am

bye west -- I won't be staying up too late tonight as I did last night.

Jill, messy??

1:48 am

I am not bad..

1:48 am

I am just punny

1:49 am

what do you mean, messy?

1:49 am

see? ruru is punny.

1:49 am

punny is good

messenger!

1:50 am

also funny

I'm not used to funny folk, ha!

1:50 am

I admit, punny is good, silly is good, ruru is both

1:51 am

ruru brightens the chog!

1:51 am

I'm off to bed, good night all, 20 left can't even monkey them

1:52 am

O. I C, george. OK, briefly.

Jill? messenger??

1:52 am

well done, flosey, and goodnight!

1:52 am

< lil mr sunshine

1:53 am

:D

1:53 am

I do have a warped sense of humor though

1:54 am

anyone know what the 10 begins with?

1:55 am

so : not daughter + and/** + personal pronoun + **** shoelaces

yeah, might even be as warped as mine!

1:56 am

thanks

that's a compliment? ha!

1:57 am

<<<---- one sick puppy here

I'm pretty weird, a freak, really!

oh eh, that's all right then!

1:58 am

any hints for the 8's?

1:59 am

i have fe 8

1:59 am

so far

1:59 am

most of party + comics on tv

I have a 10 but not an 8!

2:01 am

hi everyone, thanks for the recipes Ruby, I have just sent the choc pavlova to you - tell me if you get it

afternoon all :)

hello

2:02 am

hello sandy! poor Cadel, it was terrible to see him sobbing at the end!

2:02 am

hi pres, how are you you poor thing?

2:02 am

we have become the anti-fan club for Contador around here -- anybody but!

2:03 am

hi mrp!

shooting antibiotics and snorting nasal mist... life is poor indeed!

2:03 am

Andy is a great rider, but doesn't have much personality

2:03 am

I felt sorry for him Ruby, but I haven't seen that very last bit yet - just up to where they crossed the line- Contador looking very strong and so is Andy

2:04 am

Lance made up a couple of minutes and looked dignified and OK. He never whines, much to his credit

2:04 am

Pres, can't imagine how you managed with two broken legs- if I lived near you I would have made some dinners for you

2:04 am

do you need to keep someone at a dristan -ce mr p

2:04 am

hi mrp!

2:05 am

or served you my new drink, vodka cassis, with homemade cassis syrup, not too sweet but very refreshing!

hi jilli!! (hugs)

ruuster! how are you my man?

sandy, have to wait two weeks more for surgery on the old leg... having the flu, they won't put me under

2:06 am

i be good

ruby, what have you been inventing?? and what is cassis??

2:06 am

Are you mobile at all Pres? or is Lickety waiting on you hand and foot

I am mobile, and the kids are helping out as much as they can until they get bored

2:06 am

I have black currants in my garden and doesn't much like them, but in a light syrup and with vodka, not so bad. And full of vitamin C

2:07 am

don't not doesn't*

LOL ruby! at least it is good for you!!

2:07 am

exactly!

2:07 am

take care Pres, sounds like life is hard at the moment

2:08 am

wow.. I must be tired I thought someone was licking mr. p's hand and foot

thanks sandy, but all is ok whilst the house is warm, food is on the table and family is home!!

licking works ruuster!

2:09 am

positive as usual Pres, good for you! and rur she needs a friendly lick at the moment

don't encourage him!! LOL!

2:10 am

I am tongue tied right now

2:13 am

hooray, I just blacked out that rotten top t

2:13 am

83 words and will look for your chocolate recipe now sandy. I am impressed with your bravery, mrp, you and my Lance!

2:15 am

86, but 3 left on that top t and not even close to nbt! also never got the fe8! duh

2:15 am

58 left here

2:16 am

I have 99 words now -- must get a few more and go to bed!

only 83 here, not so good

74 left

2:17 am

15 left here

how do you do it, ru??

2:18 am

i don't know the last grids have been hard for me.. this one seems easy

your a clever one!

2:19 am

I liked yesterday's a lot, but still didn't finish!

no, was mad that I didn't, after getting moost of it!!

2:20 am

I didn't have time for yesterday's.

most!!

2:20 am

I nver finish unless FM carries me through

2:20 am

I was really happy to finish, but stopped me doing the TOE (tax of evil)

2:21 am

which i should be doing now

2:22 am

Ruby I will also send you a recipe for a chicken and macadamia nut flan- which makes a fabulous lunch dish for guests with a nice spinach salad - but you must make the pastry yourself - no packets

2:22 am

Mmm, sandy -- would you popover and make some for me?

2:23 am

I mean pop over. A popover is something else.

2:23 am

I could email it to you jilli - if you want just email me and i will have your address

2:24 am

sandy, my email address is in my profile if you scroll down far enough -- and thanks!

2:27 am

Well, 53 left after once through Lickety. Busy day tomorrow (bro-and-sis-in-law visiting) so probably won't finish.

2:29 am

done

2:30 am

Thanks, sandy! It sounds wonderful!

2:30 am

I'll send you the choc pavlova as well - that is delicious too

2:31 am

remember dont buy the pastry, make it or it will not be the same

what is choc pavlova?

2:32 am

it is a recipe I have - it is yummy and you serve it with fresh rasberries - the combination is sensational

2:33 am

I hope I can make the pastry -- but pavlova is merigue, isn't it?

2:33 am

a cocoa opera singer?

2:33 am

Do you cook George?

what's all in it??

chocolate and raspberries is a really nice combination of flavours, yeah!

2:34 am

I can send it to you if you want it

I used to do a lot of it, yeah, it's a passion of mine, but I'm almost all raw with my diet now, still cook a little

2:34 am

jilli the pastry is for the flan not the pav

yeah, but I can't put my email addy on here

2:34 am

sandyloo- I've made variations on a pavlova including cinnamon (great with strawberries) and a chocolate one with a layer of mars bars melted down with milk, spread over the pavlova before the cream layer. It was banned by the World Health Organisation.

2:34 am

OK, sandy ;)

2:34 am

Good morning/evening all by the way.

2:35 am

LOL haz, it sounds a bit like the bacon thing

2:35 am

It was pretty good, but definitely not a WeightWatchers recipe.

2:35 am

george , just email me and i will have yours

2:37 am

had to list for the last three

2:37 am

anyone have the fo 6/27?

2:37 am

ruru finished? WTG!

2:37 am

haz , this one is lovely as it is not too sweet,

2:38 am

almost jilli

2:38 am

just three left

2:38 am

fo6/27 - follow an enemy with a small hill (or ***gone, the babbler)

2:38 am

two

2:38 am

Oh, not finished, I guess -- and I don't have the fo6

2:38 am

isn't carrying a small hill rather difficult

2:38 am

now I am done.. thank you haz

2:38 am

It's funny, I can take the sweetness of pavlova, but banoffee defeats me.

2:39 am

Congratulations, ruru!

thank you, sandy, sent

2:39 am

Must go! Goodnight all and *poof*

2:39 am

not keen on banofee either

2:39 am

Carrying a small hill isn't difficult when you've got muscles like ruru.

good morning, Jill, laters! xx

2:39 am

does one drool with pavlova?

2:39 am

night jilli-willi

2:39 am

It's pretty moreish, ruru.

2:40 am

one does rur - haz if you want the recipe just email me

2:40 am

I love home made pavlovas , not really keen on store bought ones although they are bearable

I think I've had it, or something like it, will know when I see your recipe, Sandy

2:41 am

I have to go and have some wine and feed stupid grotty horses

2:41 am

what the hay huh sandy/

2:42 am

bbl

2:42 am

hey guys

2:42 am

Bye, sandy.

2:43 am

i'd best be going to bed.. I have a big day tomorrow.

2:43 am

have a great day everyone.

2:43 am

You need your beauty sleep, ruru. Sleep well!

nite ruuster

2:53 am

hellloooo :)

2:56 am

Hello, Ata, mrp.

2:57 am

I have a spaniel full of burrs

Good morning everyone. Nice sized grid today.

2:58 am

Hello, Sally.

2:58 am

Where did the spaniel fall into burrs? Hard wee things to get out...

Did most of yesterday's on the train!

2:59 am

chasing pheasants through hedges

2:59 am

I wonder if the pheasants ended up with burrs on them?

2:59 am

Where were you going, Sally?

3:00 am

noooo, they were generally in the air, or going through take-off!

Went to Bath for brother-in-law's birthday lunch, and printed grid before I went.

Thought it was a big grid but really easy.

3:02 am

It was a nice grid, you're right.

As opposed to today's, where I have one word which was clued just as I came on (the fo6).

3:03 am

Plural it...

Which gave me two more :-) Will wake up soon.

3:04 am

15 Ks???!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

3:05 am

where do u get the clues from!

3:06 am

Under Friends of Babble - Lickety's babble clues.

3:08 am

THANK YOU!

3:09 am

No problem.

3:09 am

where do you live

3:09 am

Not relevant.

3:09 am

strange placename

3:10 am

I never meant it like that

You can tell from the flags which countries we all live in.

3:11 am

i mean where abouts in the country

3:14 am

bye bye im coming off for now

3:14 am

you know all these searches the police are doing in Peter Tobin's old homes? What on earth happens to the people who live in the houses now/

Presumably they are given temp accommodation. I don't suppose they are thrown on the street.

3:15 am

I don't know, it can't be very pleasant.

3:15 am

not at all!

3:15 am

It's not as if they'll just be doing a cursory search, they'll rip the places apart.

A very uncomfortable feeling though, having your garden dug up or whatever. Come to think of it, we could do with our garden being dug over ...

3:16 am

and so unexpected, how on earth could you ever know such a thing before the police turned up

3:16 am

This sounds bad - another serial killer? Hello all

3:17 am

You'd be labelled hopelessly pessimistic if you started thinking 'I wonder if a serial killer ever lived here?'

3:17 am

just an old one, in prison now

3:17 am

This is Peter Tobin, lynxxx, killed a number of girls that we know about, now they're searching for girls who have been missing.

3:17 am

but the police had decided to check out all his old houses

3:18 am

Amd sadly, he seems to feel no re7/32, because he is refusing to help with enquiries.

ty for the re7!

3:19 am

You're welcome!

3:19 am

yes - TY!

Already had the 5 following the re, but hadn't made the connection.

brb, have to go and pay delivery driver

3:21 am

gah. snoek is a word. It is a fish

3:22 am

Oh, and Pavarotti extends - te8/40.

3:23 am

he does indeed!

3:23 am

needed for his girth

3:24 am

There was a really interesting programme about te6. I had no idea it was all so technical.

3:25 am

wasn't that a great programme!

3:26 am

It really was. It's not just a case of opening your mouth, that's for sure. And that opera singer (can't remember his name) is so enthusiastic, it's great.

3:26 am

Morning/evening all.

3:26 am

wasn't convinced about the head voice / stomach voice thing!

3:26 am

FM!!!

3:26 am

phooey, phone, brb

3:26 am

Hello, FM!

3:27 am

how is the great and glorious Spanglettina this morning?

3:27 am

No, I couldn't quite follow how they could switch within a note, but if they say that's how it works, well, it's even more miraculous.

3:27 am

I know! I'd like to see a proper explanation of that, it's fascinating

3:28 am

Spangletinarina is fine, in good heart and voice.

3:28 am

awwwww :)

3:28 am

Back

3:29 am

I've been at performances of 'Messiah' where the alto part was sung by a man. It was slightly eery.

3:29 am

good morning FM

3:29 am

HObbit was sleeping downstairs with husband last night - I banished him the other day cos he's refusing to wear his CPAP mask - and at 3:30, Hobbit wanted to go out. So instead of just taking her out, he marches her upstairs, wakes me up, and informs me that I have to take Hobbit out because his sleep is more important than mine!!

3:29 am

Evening lynxxx!

3:30 am

But he was awake anyway. Am I missing a step in logic somewhere?

3:30 am

stupid hubby :(

3:30 am

silly man - he should have been lecturing Hobbit rather than you

3:30 am

well that's what I told him, but ....

3:31 am

was SO annoyed

3:31 am

Have you tried sucky duck yet today Haz?

Back. Hi FM

3:32 am

No, not yet. What is it today?

3:32 am

It has me stumped so far, thats what it is.

3:32 am

D does not have a logical cell in his brain/body.

3:33 am

That bodes not well for the likes of me.

Dare I ask. What is sucky duck? (typing very carefully)

3:33 am

Go on give it a go and solve it them you can feel vvv smug :)

3:33 am

Sudoku Sally

ooohh, lol!!

3:33 am

which is impressive for a mathematician

3:34 am

Have you been using greens or not?

3:34 am

Sucky Duck is Haz's nickname for it.

3:34 am

using greens :(

3:34 am

Goodness, it must be bad.

3:35 am

mathematical logic is very different from everyday/living logic and he is a bloke so life is stacked against him.

3:35 am

Oh good, enable recognises the English bell-shakers.

3:35 am

I have to try it now too!

3:36 am

Don't mention bells, on Saturday the bells were ringing for an hour late morning so I had to close all the windows and it was 31degrees. <----- was not a happy bunny.

3:37 am

Ata will probably do it in 2 minutes and be hopelessly smug for the rest of the day.

3:37 am

probably

3:37 am

You'd have enjoyed the village during the war - no bell ringing allowed.

3:38 am

I doubt it!!

3:38 am

i need a clue

3:38 am

I actually slept under the duvel last night for the first time in about a week.

3:39 am

*duvet even.

3:39 am

For which word, 9tanks?

3:39 am

me too :)

3:40 am

Love the icon of Sily Ata, and whats with all the Bagpuss pics?

3:41 am

I went to Canterbury Museum :)

3:41 am

perhaps 9tanks needs a clue to remember how to play the game as we haven't seen him for a very long time.

3:41 am

... and they have a Bagpuss section? how great!

3:42 am

a Bagpuss museum!

3:42 am

Oh how funny!

3:43 am

Haz do you realise that next month it is 5 years of babbling?

3:43 am

I was thinking about that the other day. Where has the time gone?

3:44 am

How did I get through life not knowing about all these words?

3:44 am

Conversations about Madagascan hedgehogs were closed to me before.

3:44 am

a tisket a tasket......good morning

3:45 am

LOL me too. Morning Kallia.

3:45 am

hi Kallia

Hi Kallia

3:45 am

Hello, Kallia - I'm heading your direction tomorrow. Flying to Edinburgh tomorrow afternoon.

3:45 am

Hello, Kallia - I'm heading your direction tomorrow. Flying to Edinburgh tomorrow afternoon.

3:45 am

My wee finger had a spasm, sorry!

3:46 am

love Edinburgh, but I'm actually in Hampshire :)

3:46 am

Goodness, and there was me imagining you running through fields of heather in a kilt.

3:46 am

LOL

3:47 am

Not a million miles away from me then Kallia, Im in W Sussex.

3:47 am

running nowhere these days

3:47 am

So, you're marooned in England? I'll tell Edinburgh you said hello.

3:47 am

not too far FM

3:48 am

yep, was kidnapped by a Scots hero, who then wanted to live in ENGLAND!

3:48 am

It must have been love to allow him to transport you away from the hills and glens (cue piper)

3:49 am

Darn, must go have hair appt in 10 mins. Back in about 40 mins time. TTFN.

3:49 am

See you later, FM.

3:49 am

bye for now FM, off to get mine cut in about an hour

3:50 am

bye dear!

3:50 am

I guess so Haz

3:50 am

hello Ata

3:53 am

sucky duck done :P

3:54 am

I can feel the waves of smug from here.

3:54 am

well done...haven't been there for ages

3:55 am

I haven't even looked at it, FM's warning was enough.

3:55 am

nor me, I only did it to annoy FM lol :P

3:55 am

a very quiet and intense place

3:55 am

start 3.13 finish 3.15 lol

3:56 am

I know, they talk in strange languages about methods of solving and certainly no chit-chat.

3:58 am

Back again, Ata I just saved your spinach balls recipe

3:59 am

hi Sandy

3:59 am

peri's really :)

3:59 am

hi lynxx, bit sad about poor Cadel ....

4:00 am

Cadel?

4:00 am

he didn't have a good tour de france day

4:01 am

lol lynxx, out leader of the Tour, he had a bad day and lost the jersy and cried his heart out

4:01 am

hello, I'm back. A workman is putting copper wire along the roof top to protect the tiles from lichen??

4:01 am

hello ruby and sandy

4:01 am

does it electrocute the lichen Ruby?

4:02 am

rots

4:02 am

sorry

4:02 am

So was Cadel when he lost the jersey.

4:02 am

hi Kallia and try again I have that one

4:02 am

lol thought you all might :)

4:03 am

It is such a hard race

4:03 am

evidently, and he is going in and out and driving the dogs crazy!

4:03 am

it is still very hot in France; yesterday was definitely a killer day for those poor guys. Watching Cadel cry made me cry, too, it was a truly touching moment

4:03 am

hi haz and hello kallia

I like lichen :-(

4:04 am

you'd think the guy wouldn't want to work on this national holiday!

4:04 am

Ruby, is he in danger of being bitten? and I cried too it was sad

4:04 am

hi Sally. Me, too, but everybody says it ruins the tiles

4:04 am

I'm going to take a break and will return with fresh eyes. Back later!

4:04 am

I had a man setting up my new bed once and Sydney ran in and bit him and ran out (not very hard)

4:05 am

bye Haz

4:05 am

bye Haz

ttfn Haz

4:05 am

do you think that lichen doesn't hurt the tiles? It isn't too late for me to stop him!

4:05 am

bye haz

4:05 am

what do you think, wise Sally?

4:05 am

No lichen here on the roof Ruby

I think it doesn't hurt the tiles, but can look bad when it goes black. We have reclaimed tiles on our roof and are delighted to see lichen. It's usually a sign of clean air. It's a matter of personal choice though, so if you want coppper on the roof then go ahead :-) At least you won't get slugs up there.

4:10 am

definitely a sign of clean air

4:10 am

Ruby, I am envious of how lovely a place you must live. It looked fantastic -do you live in the valley?

A local churchyard I have some involvement in recorded 78 varieties of lichen.

4:13 am

how wonderful!

<http://www.whitton-stmarys.org.uk/chu rchyard.html>

4:15 am

oooo wonderful!

If you follow the link to the Heaven and Earth show you will see husband - oh, and there's some other famous bloke in the picture too :-)

Husband is the one with the Rupert scarf :-))

4:18 am

ooo! there was an interesting bit on Countryfile a few weekends ago about churchyard biodiversity

We have learnt a lot about managing our own land from how that churchyard is managed. We got so excited to see wild orchids appear. Three last year, and four this year :-)

4:20 am

wonderful! what sort??

Common spotted.

4:21 am

those are lovely :)

We think

4:22 am

little spotty leaves :)

We had barren land here when we bought it. It has been quite a revelation to see how it has changed over the years. We had the local wildlife people in, who said we were doing everything right, just to give it time. This year the wild flowers have just exploded, in quantity and diversity. I can just sit out there and grin:-)

4:24 am

had it been farming land Sally?

4:24 am

use your wildlife trusts! they are good people!

No, had been brickyard spoil - so coal and clay.

Yes, they were very helpful Ata.

4:25 am

good :)

4:25 am

what a gorgeous little site Sally and a lovely churchyard

You like the web site? Good <smug>

4:26 am

and because of that I found an appropriate word in the grid

You did? Care to share a hint?

4:27 am

what the preacher does in the church - he gives a se****

Oh, ty

4:29 am

ty!

Found a nice fe 7/8 and finished the Fs.

4:34 am

Ruby, are you still there?

4:35 am

I guess not

4:38 am

Hi again, how is the grid today?

4:38 am

a good grid mitch

4:38 am

Hello, FM, I'm just back as well. Do you feel the smugness from Ata?

Not bad, except for the K words which are hard to find (for me)

4:39 am

goodie thanks sandy. Hi Haz ... does that mean she has finished it?

4:39 am

Hey Sally.

4:39 am

yep :P

4:39 am

She finished it very quickly.

4:39 am

phooey

4:39 am

Beginner's luck.

4:39 am

I did all but 35 without the lists and that is the best i have ever done

4:40 am

A fluke.

4:40 am

double phooey.

4:40 am

took a while though!

How's the hair? Is this in honour of the cleaner?

4:40 am

it must be

4:40 am

lol no Sally, was a treat just for me.

4:40 am

Two k might be how the Krankies would sing.

4:41 am

badly?

4:41 am

That's a given. This is the style. The Krankies sing Bing Crosby.

4:42 am

lol Ata

rofl, tried it and it worked.

ty haz

4:42 am

kr5 and kr6.

4:42 am

As I was saying yesterday Sally at the prices I am paying I can afford to go twice as much and they do a great head massage too ... bliss.

4:42 am

I don't think it would work as a clue for the Americans.

Cheaper in Sussex than London, eh? My son who lives in London can't believe the eating-out prices here in Shropshire.

4:43 am

good clue Haz!

4:44 am

I bet he can't Sally.

4:45 am

Well I had better dive in otherwise I will never finish.

4:46 am

Stand back. FM is going in!

4:46 am

enough for me tonight, bye all

4:46 am

Good night, lynxxx.

night lynxxx

4:47 am

Hi Everyone

4:47 am

kkkkood morning

4:47 am

Hello, Norma and sprite.

4:48 am

hi sprite

4:48 am

hi all. At the end of my write-up there are links to some Bastilly Day related games.

4:49 am

nice icon, sandy :) I made le Tour de France an icon theme for the last day of the race.

4:49 am

Bye lynxxx and hello spritey sprite and norma.

4:49 am

I like the company :)

4:49 am

Hi Haz,FM,Sprite n sandy

4:49 am

i will look forward to that sprite

4:50 am

hi norma

4:50 am

must unusual not to have an 'a' in the grid.

4:50 am

I will trade my K for your A, FM :)

4:50 am

I hadn't even noticed, you're very observant, FM.

4:50 am

to many i's for me

4:51 am

I will karry your ks sprite ;)

But two of the Is have no words from them, Norma

4:52 am

you rocks, FM

4:52 am

Still there to confound me lol

4:52 am

you rock*, FM (done without coffee today, bad idea)

4:53 am

*grin*

4:56 am

K killed :D

4:56 am

oh! finally worked out the Krankie klues lol

4:57 am

yay, that was fast, now you can enjoy the rest.

4:57 am

hey Ata :) How are you doing?

4:57 am

going to physio soon ... knee is hurting :( bad knee!

4:57 am

am getting better at K words. I see a time coming when I no longer have the right to complain about K grids...

4:57 am

HAVe you been overdoing it Ata?

4:58 am

wild guess: bad knee is responding to bad Ata?

4:58 am

Must go - see you later!

4:58 am

half and half, idiot husband's idiocy made me get up while still 99% asleep and bent it far more than it's comfortable with. Much pain!

4:59 am

and running in the rain yesterday prolly wouldn't have helped too.

4:59 am

if he is becoming a danger to you, hun, I will grab my canoe and come to the rescue

4:59 am

bye Haz, have a good day

4:59 am

that was really more limping than running lol

4:59 am

Byeee Haz.

4:59 am

awwwwwww :)

5:03 am

well I hope all is well with your knee and all you need to do is be nice and gentle with it for a while... :)

5:04 am

I'm trying!!!

5:04 am

Must go and do some chores. Back in a while.

5:04 am

I know! And believe me, I know how hard that is.

5:06 am

your pic of Sily is priceless

5:06 am

and really I should go and lie down for a bit before physio!

5:06 am

LOL ty! It's her new fvourite place

5:07 am

have a good rest and good luck at physio

5:07 am

ty! back later! *hugs*

Hello

5:23 am

hi lady

Hi Spritee

how you

5:27 am

am ok, you?

I ate too much

5:28 am

of what?

steak

5:28 am

tasty. Was it worth it?

mash etc. Tonight I am asking if himself can make me hot choc

yep

5:29 am

good :)

5:30 am

I should be doing some chores now but am too darn tired. This heat is getting to me.

i just bemoaned that it is cold

5:35 am

lol if only we could exchange heat and cold! Or dry and rain.

5:36 am

wow, one of the easiest grids ever. Done, fireflies. Have a lovely day/evening all of you

dont get too hot

rose

5:59 am

hello, back from lunch

5:59 am

it is very hot and humid here

6:03 am

I am so hot and DH is on the warpath for a change!

6:03 am

I really thin he is losing it!

Ruby you ok?

6:05 am

yes, I'm fine. Just hot. He is a PITB

Right if you need out do so

6:06 am

I'm fine and the Tour will be on in a few minutes

6:07 am

I too hate the heat - if you are cold you can put more clothes on , but if you are hot going out naked is not an option as it is still hot

6:07 am

and what would the neighbors say?

I just cranked the heater

6:08 am

well Ruby, that depends on many things

6:08 am

heater? summer? OMG!!!!@

6:09 am

eg: 1 if you are the naked man that is running with the Tour

6:09 am

2 whether the neighbours are broadminded

6:09 am

they are too funny! But what is worse is the fat guys without shirts. Are they insane?

6:10 am

I was looking at them - I thought maybe it was a European things

6:10 am

thing

6:10 am

they are tourists, I guess, wouldn't be doing it if they wre local

no I am saying I just can't get warm

6:11 am

European tourists, certainlynot (prudish) Americans, like me

6:11 am

i have the fire on and a heater

6:11 am

you must come here, you're Austrtalian "summer" would be most welcome!

6:12 am

your*

6:12 am

too much grappa!

I just got hot choc

6:12 am

unimaginable!

I just can't get warm

6:14 am

that's terrible, herin, I am used to it and just pile on layers and layers, varying the fabrics, during the winter here

been cold all day

6:14 am

the key, I think, is : a layer of silk, a layer of cotton, a layer of wool, etc. You may look like the Michelin man, but you'll stay warm

6:15 am

Ruby, Cadel has a fractured elbow and couldn't manage the big hill as it hurt too much , he is still going to continue the tour

Silk is not breathable

6:15 am

we don't have central heat and the house gets very cold in winter

Usually I have cotton then warmth

6:15 am

yes it is!

6:15 am

I didn't know he was inured

Cotton works with me

6:15 am

poor Cadel!!!!

6:15 am

Wow Ruby, it must get really cold there

6:16 am

OK, herin, cotton, THEN silk, then wool

6:16 am

he crashed at the beginning of the race

Sandy have you seen the new TAC add?

6:16 am

they don't show the beginning here

6:16 am

or was it the day before

6:16 am

no , it was the day before the rest day

6:17 am

Tac?

Transport Accident Commision Ads

6:17 am

No I haven't herin,

ok. Just starting to bug me

6:18 am

I will look out for them and guess what I am using that detol rinse

THat Detol rinse is the best in winter. Means you can dry your clothes inside and not them get that wet smell

6:20 am

ok

I don't know if you find that drying clothes inside winter leaves them with a wet smell

6:21 am

bad ruby uses the dryer!

We don't ahve one

6:22 am

isn't esne a kind of medieval serf?

6:23 am

I try not to use the dryer but......

6:24 am

I am too tired to hang the clothes outside

I have no drying space that actually works unless it is hot

Esne is a word. Means lower class

a member of the lowest class; laborer.

6:25 am

that's what I thought,l but enable doesn't know it!

no it doesn't

6:27 am

makes me feel a little less crazy (only a little)

Only if you start answering your own questions

6:28 am

when you call into the abysss and it answers back!

Then you need to clean out the dust bunnies

6:29 am

the dust bunnies here have their own ecosystems

6:30 am

when my son was here in May, he and his wife cleaned oput all the dust bunnies in my studio; it was wonderful, but now I can't find anything

6:31 am

hahaha, I gave Nicky's dog a really nice bone today and Nicky has just found it buried in her bed under the blankets! LOL

ewwwwww

6:32 am

eeew! dogs are too funny. But was the boned cooked or raw? I am always afraind of bones with these too-delicate (but big) dogs

6:33 am

OK, going to watch the race. See you later!

6:33 am

it was cooked but too solid for her to break as she is only little - it had lots of meat on it which she has chewed off - I am very fussy about bones too Ruby

never give dogs cooked bones

6:34 am

it was cooked herin but she could not break it at all or I wouldn't have let her have it

6:34 am

once I gave one of our previous dogs a cooked bone and it pierced his intestine (but he was OK and lived another 7 years)

rough one today - 97/60 and going to Lickety

6:34 am

they rarely get any bones so I guess she thought it was quite a treasure

6:34 am

these chows could bite through a concrete road divider!

6:35 am

i have 7 left

6:35 am

hi fish fish, after a couple of hours (???) I have 99/58, hopeless ruby

6:35 am

Herin, I do give them raw chicken carcasses at times

6:35 am

amazing, sandy!

6:36 am

and those tiny bones aren't dangerous?

6:36 am

the dog breeders recommend them

Raw chicken bones are bad and the dog breeder is a twit

6:36 am

they have a lot of calcium in them and they are meant to be safe as long as they are raw

Chicken bones splinter

6:37 am

never cooked

6:37 am

you should see me boning chicken for these 75 lb dogs!

6:37 am

herin, I have heard that from a lot of dog people

6:37 am

they only splinter if they are cooked

6:37 am

BTW, my one tomato is almost red!

6:38 am

howww can you stand to do that?? taking the bones out of something...blech!!

6:39 am

have to go and watch masterchef

6:39 am

bbl

6:39 am

NB: you are just the person I need! I need the phone number of a florist in London to send flowers to a hospital. I've used FTD, but then they send e-mails every day until you threaten them. I just need a phone number!!

6:39 am

FTD? What's that? And I can try to help; any part of London in particular?

6:40 am

wait, do hospitals even allow flowers?

6:40 am

I think the hospital is in Marylebone (sp?

6:40 am

yes

6:40 am

FTD is international and on line but I couldn't believe what happened after I used them

6:41 am

my niece is having surgery on Friday

good morning Babblers

6:41 am

Marylebone is right ;) though most Londoners can't spell it...lemme take a look. I don't know that area too well, but I can check it out

6:41 am

maybe I could send you in a cake!

6:41 am

Morning, Nono :)

6:41 am

hi no no!

Ruby can you not call a local florist that is FTD and arrange the flowers for anywhere

6:42 am

no, I just did that for Wales, and have gotten an e-mail from FTD every day since!

Hi, just briefly popping back in. Ruby, you need to check with the hospital that they allow flowers.

6:42 am

I finally had to say take me off your list or I'll call my lawyer and the e-mail stoppped

Can't you tell FTD to stop.

6:43 am

I did and they did, after 3 weeks

i never give them my email addie but use FTD a lot

6:43 am

@ rubyfoo inter flora will send flowers to and from anywhere.

6:43 am

You could try this website, Ruby; I've used them before: http://tinyurl.com/3ydd4am and they deliver free and very quickly to anywhere in the London area.

6:43 am

that was for the woman in Wales who received and sent on the pond nets! hahah

How can you not allow flowers :(

6:44 am

thank you NB, I'll try that on Friday but will call the hospital first

I wouldn't personally use Interflora because so often the flowers are rubbish. Flying Flowers are quite good: http://www.flyingflowers.co.uk/

6:45 am

how can you have surgery and not receive flowers?

6:45 am

No problem ;) I think the number is on the website there, if you wanna go through that route. You shouldn't get any spam mail..

I know local hospitals here do not allow flowers in intensive care units but they are allowed in regular rooms

6:45 am

thank you both.

When Tony was having heart surgery, no flowers were allowed.

6:46 am

Contamination risk with flowers! English hospitals can be quite vigilant about it, too, 'cause of the whole superbug thing.

6:46 am

when I had my first surgery, almost 20 years ago, I received more tahn 30 thingies of flowers and my nurses wanted to know if I was famous. I said "in a limited way! LOL"

6:46 am

but then the MDs shouldn't wear ties!

Yes, but the rules have changed now ruby.

6:47 am

ahah

I don';t care what happens as long as it isn't a doc that dealt with my nan

6:47 am

I will call the hospital then, before I send the flowers. Otherwise, I will send them to her house, the day she comes home

That reminds me Dad has to go to hospital soon

6:49 am

I've had enough of hospitals for a lifetime!

Touch wood for me

6:49 am

yes, herin!

6:50 am

oh, and I hope your niece sails through the surgery, btw :)

6:50 am

*poof* now and thank you for the websites

6:50 am

thank you NB!

Loves Nancy

6:50 am

ty herin, loves you too

6:50 am

and smart sally!!!!

6:50 am

Happy Bastille Day, Ruby!

6:51 am

oui, une. And the feu d-artifice started last night here

Hi une

6:51 am

Herin, that's funny, I thought you meant me as my name is nancy, too!!! (blushing)

Opps Maybe I did mean you Ruby sorry. Too tired

NB stop dancing on tables

6:52 am

no, you meant NB, but you are very sweet!!!!

6:53 am

I wish I could still dance on tables!!!!!

No I think I meant you. Gosh knows what my brain is thinking

6:53 am

9:03 am

howdy bob..i know it jellen,they were sticking me 2 times a day for treatment bags and twice a day for blood samples

9:03 am

Anyway, the liver is a lot more damaged than I had thought...I asked about MD Anderson and the doc said we really didn't have time to wait on the tests they would do...

9:03 am

Hi, Mr Bob and GE

9:03 am

so they are gearing up to start treatment?

9:04 am

Yes...I would guess tomorrow...

9:05 am

chemo or radiation..or both?

9:05 am

Chemo

9:05 am

clue for en 5 please

9:06 am

now if you have never gone through this before jellen,each person is individual with chemo,some react differently than others...

jellen i didn't know that Tim had been sick that long

9:06 am

some sail through it,or as in my case i lost every hair on my boyd..90 pounds and pukede 20 times a day,but your guy may have a easier time

9:07 am

Yes, GE...It's been an on and off battle...discovered the liver problem about two months ago...

9:07 am

it is best to go for the chemo round as early in the day as they will let you

9:08 am

and after 1 week into it,set him up on the couch if he is having a hard go of it

9:09 am

We've already requested a hospital bed...

9:09 am

keep lots of jello,vaniillia ice cream,freezies,gatorade and ensure protien shakes around

9:09 am

oh ok

9:09 am

They were going to check into it for insurance...

9:09 am

@boobear: en5 is the first part of a synonym for huge

9:10 am

but if he CAN come home on weekends,do it,i so looked forward to weekends at home

9:10 am

Oops! Sorry to dominate chat...really just needed a hug...

oh i knew that but i thought you said he had a port 6 months ago...

9:11 am

((((jellen)))) give you annother

9:11 am

Yes, GE...he was first diagnosed with melanoma 2 years ago...

oh my chog is being fussy, ARG!

9:12 am

Must go...got a drive before I can see him...

9:13 am

((hugs)) to all...*poof*

9:14 am

it is a tough go indeed..sigh

9:14 am

bye cross

9:15 am

im not leaving yet,just jellen was off

bye cross and hi y'alls

9:15 am

howdy gwen

9:17 am

everyone is trying to get rid of poor ole crossy;((

9:17 am

not me... hi crossy

9:17 am

Hello Babble, hope everyone is well.

okay, erasing the "bye cross" 8-)

9:18 am

everyone say hello to my better half

9:18 am

hello elegant... physically well, but getting crazy frustrated with unemployment process here

9:18 am

Aww I will always need you around Sweetheart.

hello, morgan fairchild LOL

9:18 am

it is bad here as well dorens

9:19 am

can

9:20 am

can't get anyone on the phone... have to go down to the office to explain this ridiculous snafu. i applied 7/1, last paycheck dated 6/30, so the system is saying i worked and asking when i went back to work. not letting me input the truth, either on phone system or computer. utterly insane

9:20 am

Dealing wit the Gov is always frustrating. I think they do it on purpose.

best gubmint money can buy, NOT! lol

9:21 am

i wnet through the same thing and i do not know about there dorens,but do not let then delay you any longer than 4 weeks after your last day worked

9:21 am

absolutely. i am wondering how all the people who do get it manage

9:21 am

they almost messed me up,cause if you take longer than 4 weeks here,you cannot qualify

9:21 am

clue for fe 7 please

9:22 am

oh, i'm not taking longer than four weeks, crossy, i will be standing in line down at the disgusting office in an hour or so

9:23 am

"yup,get in their faces dorens

9:23 am

and here,filing your reports are all done on computer

9:23 am

it is hard at the start but you get used to it

9:23 am

it's done that way here too.... but it isn't letting me... keeps saying I did work the week ending 7/3, whereas my last day of work was 6/23.

9:24 am

do you have your r.o.e?

could be your employer messed something up on their end . . .

9:24 am

so i tried saying, yes i did work, putting down my last day as 6/30 - then they ask "when did I return to work" and i didn't.. haven't... (no r.o.e in USA)

9:25 am

the record of employment,your employer must supply it no later than 7 days after your last day worked

9:25 am

it is a recod of your work history

9:25 am

no roes???

9:25 am

Hi, all. Oooh, this looks very grown-up and serious..

9:25 am

no, just stupid unemployment. last day of work 6/23, last pay check 6/30, filed 7/1 and their computer keeps saying i DID work last week

9:25 am

sorry nb,will be done soon

9:26 am

perhaps you can find 'em in the grid Crossy ;)

9:26 am

oh, we do have that, i suppose, but i'm sure my employer gave them the truth. problem is that even tho i did get paid, i didn't work that week. and even when i try to pretend i did to satisfy them, then they ask me when i "returned to work" which i didn't. catch 22

phantom keister

9:27 am

i'm done ranting... hi nb... once i get half way i'm out of here and down the the grubby office

9:27 am

if you got paid,you worked in the eyes of unemployment..if it was paid to you on a company cheque

9:28 am

but best to march down there and tear at them

9:28 am

heading out the door but wanted to say GOOD LUCK to dorens -- sorry it's such a crap process! *poof*

9:28 am

Back from getting more caffeine. Rainy days do not contribute to office productivity.

that might be it, since they paid you a week after your worked, or whatever

9:28 am

Hey, NB - how's the ankle, you table dancing tart?

9:28 am

might be..if it was on company cheque..it is getting paid even if you were at the spa all week

9:29 am

Good morning!

9:29 am

howdy car

9:29 am

Hiya,Car-e.

9:29 am

morningn car

9:29 am

dont' have the fe7 boo.

9:29 am

what did nancy boy do to ankle?

9:30 am

Hmmmm Judi ;) it's currently outfitting itself in shades of mottled purple and blue, but at work I have to do without crutches, so it's starting to hurt now! I'm setting the table for my pity party...

9:30 am

Fe7: decorate.

9:30 am

for pity parties always have absinthe:)

9:30 am

fe7 starts with the beginning of a party and ends with an animated show

9:30 am

With great clumsiness comes great responsibility...

9:30 am

Poor baby. I'll bring some cheese to go along with your whine.

9:30 am

thanks judi and river

9:31 am

*sigh* back from physio

9:31 am

LOL Crossy, you trying to make me sprain the other ankle, too? ;)

good clue, ty riverdance!

9:31 am

Hi, Ata.

9:31 am

how's the knee doing ata?

9:32 am

Always there for a damsel in distress, eh Judi ;)

9:32 am

yw gwen

9:32 am

got my normal telling-off for doing too much! It's doing - ok - everyone keeps saying it's doing really well, and then they say it'll be at least a month or two before I can totally get rid of the brace. *gloom*

9:32 am

Ummm...."a tisket a tasket, a green and yellow basket"....isn't tisket a word?

nope, not a real word, a "nonsense" word

like tralala

9:33 am

Well that explains why I thought it was a real word then!

9:33 am

I maintain 'fest' is a word, but enable will not take me up on that.

9:33 am

poor ata:((

9:33 am

well.. maybe if you weren't "doing too much" it would be less time before losing the brace? tradeoff

and i want points for mooser and stormer . . .

9:33 am

I know ... I know ... but then they tell me to go and exercise it as much as possible as well! *doh*

9:34 am

their kind of exercise, not yours!!

9:34 am

mooser? what is that moose paste in a squeeze tube?? lol

9:34 am

I always try that word too NB!

9:34 am

yes .... that's what I haven't got quite right yet!!!

mooser, one who hunts, traps, shoots, eats, stuffs moose

ack, i said a word! (oops)

9:35 am

ass that is spel mooseur gwen

OHHHHHHH

9:35 am

oops, only 10 minutes of break left so I'm gonna stick my ankle up on the table and try for some kind of ten minute power nap. Later, all..

9:35 am

much as i hate to have to leave... i need to go see if i can do battle with a live person at unemployment. see you later

9:36 am

i like eeyore too. he's feakin' smart

9:50 am

Here's an existential question for the masses: Now, I have never done this and never would, but: Do you think it's okay for someone to sell or give away a used mattress? (Just making conversation). My personal opinion is: Ewwww.

9:50 am

depends HOW used!!

i have given away a used mattress. and you're right, it was kind of eww. that's what mattress pads are for

9:51 am

Judi...not my favorite. However, we have done so with family members....just not strangers.

9:51 am

*runs into chog and huggles Ata*

9:51 am

personally,i would pass on a used mattress unless in dire straits

9:51 am

EEEEEEEEEVA!!

9:51 am

family to family is not so bad

yup, mine went to a poor family

9:51 am

used once isn't so bad. used for 5 years is dubious

9:52 am

then it is fine gwen\

9:54 am

so, i checked the tag on that dress, ata, and it WAS supposed to be line-dried. oopsie. but i drenched it yesterday evening and hung it to dry, and i think it has been salvaged -- i tried it on last night (while still slightly damp) and it seemed to be appropriate-length again. :)

9:55 am

and what lesson do we learn from this, eva? :P

9:55 am

do what i want -- in the end it will all work out ok. ;)

9:55 am

lmao

9:55 am

that works too :P

9:55 am

Rock on, Eva!

i did the same thing only it was underwear LOL

9:56 am

we happened to be in a target last night (whilst me dress was dripping dry at home) and they had plenty of them, so if need be, i would have taken it back to exchange it...

9:58 am

short dresses are not a bad thing anyways:)

9:59 am

this is very true

9:59 am

they are in the office, crossy. ;)

9:59 am

as in, one of the gals here got a writte reprimand because of her attire. :X

10:00 am

lol,they do not have to look lol

10:00 am

unfortunately, theres something about the federal government that they want people to look respectable, even if they arent...

reprimand? for clothes? who's the picky picky nitwit?

10:00 am

suppose it depends *how* short

10:01 am

Ahh...look respectable but dont' need to act respectable! LOL! (present company excluded of course!)

10:01 am

we have a "business casual" dress code here. and well, lets just say this gal often looks like her business is more of the nighttime variety...

10:01 am

if the govt is going to mess my life up,the least they can do is give me some nice legs to look at lol

10:01 am

Eva...have you gotten any responses yet?

10:01 am

LOL!

10:02 am

Any RH words?

10:02 am

and my dress started out as short as i would wear it to the office. i totally would still have worn it outside of work. but now, at least, it seems to be back to office-appropriate length. :)

10:02 am

car -- none in the mail yet, though my mom said 2 people have already asked her where we are registered! (we only just did our first registry last night. #2 and maybe 3 coming tonight!)

no RH words

10:03 am

Wahoo! I am going to a wedding this weekend...I will take notes for you!

10:03 am

How can there be 15 K words in this mess?

10:03 am

heh, you do that. ;)

10:04 am

I can vouch for 13 of them car ;)

10:04 am

Anything in particular you would like me to report back on?

10:05 am

car, think very weird words

10:05 am

I uised to be an event planner and when I go to weddings and parties now, I do find myself making mental notes about everything!

10:05 am

yep there are 15 k's.

10:05 am

actually, my mother found it interesting how many people RSVP that they are coming to a wedding, only to not show for whatever reason. never thought about it before, but thats a LOT of money down the drain!

10:05 am

eva let me know when the big day is about a week away and ill send you vid clips on wedding disasters lol...the build up for this thing is so big that groom will be passing out and kids puking all over the place..but i seriously hope yours goes smooth

10:06 am

we are starting to look at favors + making our own programs, but we want to be somewhat original. got our thinking caps on for those.

10:06 am

Yeah...it is amazing these days how casual people are about RSVP-ing and actually showing up.

10:06 am

Do you have a theme or motif for your wedding?

10:07 am

heh, thanks crossy. i already know the day wont be 100% smooth or perfect. i have fully prepared myself for temper tantrums. (and the kids acting up too!) so long as the sky doesnt cave in on us, i think i will survive.

10:07 am

crossy may crash the party:)

10:07 am

car -- we are going for "rustic elegant" -- a little outdoorsy, but not overly so.

10:07 am

Eva, for my daughter's wedding, one guy [not my side] never showed up. His excuse: I woke up late and didn't have a ride.

10:07 am

for my favours, I made little tiny cupcake versions of the main cake

10:07 am

well, it wont be a surprise now, will it crossy?

10:08 am

it will be if i show up neeked;)

10:08 am

thats cute, ata! we are going to some tastings this weekend, so hopefully we will have the cake squared away soon.

10:08 am

sorry crossy, you must be dressed formally....hehe

the best excuse ever for all occasions: i flaked! LOL

10:08 am

kk,ill wear a bow tie

10:08 am

Favors are my favorite part!!!!! 2 of my favorite examples: When I turned 30 I threw myself a "sleep over" with my girlfriends...we all had to wear pajamas and such...the favors were shiny dress up purses I got at the toy store filled with nail polish, files, big costume jewelry rings, and fun girly things! They were a big hit!

10:08 am

one for above and one below

10:08 am

works for me, then! hehe

10:08 am

Nice ATA!

10:09 am

I was going to say that Crossy...as long as you have a bowtie on you would be properly dressed!

10:10 am

i was thinking about making a donation to charity in lieu of favors. while its fun to hand them out, no one ever really cares that much about them, and i feel like it is often money wasted. so i would prefer to put it to good use. otherwise, i am aiming for very inexpensive favors.

10:10 am

yup,never know when a pair of bow ties will come in handy

10:10 am

lol crossy

10:10 am

just make up little cards then saying what you've done, then people have a little something to open and it's not expensive

10:11 am

ooo you could adopt a lcal zoo / rescue centre animal on behalf of the wedding party!

10:11 am

That is a great idea Eva! Very smart economically too! And yes, Ata, the cards are a great idea! Another inexpensive idea for "outdoorsy elegant" is the cards that you can then plant and trees grow.

10:12 am

or packet of seed wrapped nicely

10:12 am

EvaN, I like the idea of "charity" favors...

10:12 am

hello all1

10:13 am

about to start my studying for the day, couldn 't

10:13 am

Stid!

10:13 am

procrastinator lol!

10:13 am

camp? day camp?

10:13 am

hey muse!

10:13 am

Eva, do you as a couple share any hobbies/sports/charities?

10:14 am

Just morning camp.

10:14 am

i do like the idea of plantable favors. if we did a charity, it would probably be the American Heart Association -- as my dad has suffered 2 heart attacks.

anyone have an re7? need both, plz and ty

10:15 am

hey gwen!

10:15 am

we do both like music, though not always the SAME music...heh he loves soccer + sci fi. i like dancing.

10:15 am

That is nice Eva!

10:15 am

Gwen, think to rue, and where you might go on vacation, plural

10:15 am

morning camp is a good idea, I think. day camps always seemed so loooong to me.

11:03 am

peri, i'm very close to finishing The Help and enjoying it very much, however....

11:05 am

i find that when i think to myself, the voice in my head sounds like a southern black woman! it's making me a little carzy. Aibileen and Minny - GET OUT OF MY HEAD!

11:06 am

just googled The Help - sounds interesting, must put it on my list of "to read"

Does anyone know which dictionary they use for this...it clearly isn't SOWPODS because there are loads of words it doesn't accept which are there.

11:36 am

yikes!

11:36 am

an older version of enable

Dictionary, not sure? There's something called 'enable'? dunno, seen that mentioned??

11:37 am

i can't even wrap my brain around 13 minutes. that's crazy

Enable is a dictionary then, eh?

11:37 am

and I have to wonder why they don't update their dictionary

11:37 am

hi all clues for the fo 6 and 7

11:37 am

hi George

11:37 am

that may be one of the things Dr G is changing with the new version

hello flosey, how's you?

11:37 am

11:38 am

fo6 - enemy + capitol city of Ontario

11:38 am

11:38 am

criminey!

11:38 am

it's harder than that flo ... DR G has to write software that's compatible with a particular version

11:38 am

our caf switched its sushi to "sustainable seafood" and the prices have skyrocketed!

11:39 am

ah, wasn't aware of the difficulties involved - we'll just have to muddle through - and monkey

ha! very funny, m9!! na, need my big bloodshot baby blue, to see the grid with! took this with my mobile camera phone as soon as I woke up one morning, for a laugh--explains the bloodshot eye, doesn't it?!

11:43 am

I love it. looks like a roman statue

I look like a Roman statue? flippin' heck!!

I was glaring, cos for just having woken up, there was too much light coming in the window, ha!

Hmm, ten words left to find...

that's not the right word, squinting, scowling? it was just too bright and too early, lol

11:46 am

wincing? scowling? cursing? hehe

yeah, perhaps that's it--especially the latter, ha!

11:47 am

shaking fist in rage...hehe

eh, not quite, hard to hold the phone and take a pic that way!! I reserve that for when it's really needed, like trying to find any more words in this *@!&#?! grid!!

11:48 am

LOL. anyone else think it's neoclassical?

what, my bloodshot eye?!? ha!!

11:49 am

oh, i grumble, curse, and shake my fist at most things... its a talent, i suppose.

tris

work does get in the way, specially as I've been away with it so much lately, had no time for this--want to keep this roof over my head though, so what do ya do?? no professional babbling jobs that I know of, ha!

11:52 am

that would be about par for me m9

11:52 am

I have top left E greyed out.

11:53 am

do you have a woman's rack?

11:54 am

yay river!

whose bogey?

11:54 am

river's!

11:54 am

and wouldnt it figure that last word was an easy one being a baby carrier

that's part of an online name I used to use, Bogey!

11:55 am

but it twisted around on itself!

11:55 am

assuming you mean the st

baby carrier?

<< scratches head

<< get splinters

11:55 am

i have trouble with those sometimes - yes m9

11:55 am

more of a baby bringer.

oh yeah! ta!!

11:56 am

nah...not splinters... marble under your fingernails!

11:56 am

I was visualizing

why would I have marble under my fingernails??

11:56 am

ches B. you get the T?

11:56 am

go figure - I monkey out the 10 in no time and it take me 20 minutes to get a 5 - lol

can't see what's under them most of the time, black nail varnish, works wonders! ha!!

11:57 am

I move around a lot for a statue, I'll tell ya!

11:57 am

time to go make my lunch - bye all - happy babbling

11:57 am

lol eva..i am also a beta tester

11:58 am

12:00 pm

oh, actual work has arrived at my deak. bbl

unless they're a bit bent, like me!

12:00 pm

BINGO! left column greyed out!

I wish, m9, there's one elusive top left T word I'm not seeing for looking!!

12:01 pm

small world, crossy. :)

3 left

you're pretty smart, for a badger from Cheshire!

12:02 pm

mm your raw food creations are interesting george,till recently i was of the"cut off the horns and tail,sear if for 30 seconds,and slide it-on-the-plate " brigade

or any badger from anywhere, ha!

Cheshire Badger like Cheshire Cat...I'm actually in Derbyshire

12:02 pm

ok. top t's

12:03 pm

is it a woman's front?

12:03 pm

is it a repeating word?

12:03 pm

and then pl of repeating word?

oh god, no Crossy, I don't eat or drink anything from animals, haven't in nearly three decades now!! don't wear 'em either, no need!

12:04 pm

but if you have colon,or other intestinal issues,that stuff is hard to digest..almost need 6 stomachs lol

the top t that I was left with was a 4 letter word meaning to quiver

12:04 pm

vegetarian or vegan?

12:04 pm

throw out some Fs m9

no it's not actually, the opposite's true!

especially not if it's raw, it's what's best for our bodies, that

12:05 pm

wierdest f's I have so far have to do with babes in wombs

12:05 pm

my wife has a torteous colon has has to watch hard to digest stuff

12:05 pm

I think

well I've always just said 'vegetarian' if it needs a label, cos that and vegan mean all the same to me, you know, you can't be 'vegetarian' if you still have some things from animals, cos it means 'vegetation'?

12:05 pm

nope.. has to do with stinking. go figure

12:06 pm

k ty looking

12:06 pm

enemy + "oh..I ***e a nail!"

12:06 pm

and pl

12:06 pm

have those

12:07 pm

well different strokes fro different folks i always say

12:07 pm

Even Indian English differs between Vegetarian (ovo-lacto) and Pure Vegetarian (vegan), though i do think you have a point, George.

yeah, eating the wrong stuff can cause that, over the years, it's too hard on our bodies, we have the long, pocketed intestines that any herbivore does, not the shorter, smooth ones that carnivores and omnivores have, designed to let meat pass through as rapidly as it should! I used to not feel so good before I got all that outta my diet--and I was young at the time, as well! 20's!!

lol, linguistic pedantry..how marvellous...unfortunately we can't make words mean that was originally intended, we have to use them on the common understanding. Otherwise I'd have to start punching anyone who called me gorgeous.

12:07 pm

LOL Cheshire, quite!

yeah Seain and hello, m8, by the way, ha!! it's all the same to me, cos how can you be 'vegetarian' if you drink the mammary secretions of other mammals and eat stuff made from that, or as some who call themselves that do, eat fish?? those don't grow on plants, folks!!

12:08 pm

help for top left I please

12:08 pm

ir4 -- flower

12:08 pm

ok... do you have fe8 of red whit and blue crepe paper on your railing for the 4th?

12:08 pm

point taken george, though i need must agree with Cheshire

12:08 pm

and hello, peeps :)

12:09 pm

those were the ones ty

12:09 pm

howdy dc

12:09 pm

have the flower need the other one

ha ha, yeah! I must agree with Cheshire also, specially about the last part of that, same applies here, lol!!

12:09 pm

wow...i pulled out yer soapbox did i??LOL

12:09 pm

ty f,r fe8

12:10 pm

ty for the fe8

12:10 pm

interesting...crossy munches on some sacred cow jerkey....

If I say I'm vegetarian everyone knows not to give me dead animals but that cheese will be welcome. If I wanted to be deprived of cheese then saying I was vegan would convey that to my potential host. If I said vegetarian pedantically and meant vegan then I might get a plate of unwelcome cheese. (Please note that cheese is the required for the happiness of the Cheshire Badger)

I almost wanna laugh if anyone calls me that, but that would be a bit rude I suppose, ha! they're only trying to make me feel better, of course!!

12:11 pm

george do you eat honey?

12:11 pm

lol crossy

not eating cheese made from the mammary secretions of mother cows, isn't being 'deprived' at all, that's not good for us, don't miss it a bit either! I still eat cheese, it's just made with plant milks! soy, rice, mainly

12:11 pm

i assume vegetarians ones who will still partake of cheese,ypgurt and the like,wheras i think of vegans as one who graze

12:12 pm

<<<has not found plant cheese she likes

My use of deprived was purely directed at myself....it is my favourite food! :)

and yeah, I'm well aware of all the terms and what they're taken to mean, but I still don't consider one who consumes those things 'vegetarian'--that's still an omivorous diet!

12:12 pm

many a meal of mine lacks dairy products, though i do eat them.

oh I see, Seain, well I don't cos of what it contributes to causing, and all that

12:12 pm

do you vegans then take calcium suppliments?

well, the health aspect as well of course

course not, get plenty of calcium in my diet, the right forms of it for us, as well

12:13 pm

vegetables have quite a bit of cmalciu

12:13 pm

mm just curious

why does any mammal need milk after weaning age? they don't, that includes us

specially not the milk of another species, geared for the needs of their young only!

12:14 pm

there's always ovolatarians, lactovegetarians..etc

12:14 pm

i have tried soy beverage...ugh

I'm vegetarian but don't take my cheese.....if cheese messes up my body and mutates me I'd just buy a wheelchair and sew myself an X-men costume (and bald cap) ...the only thing that would make me give it up is if it was proved to reduce intelligence but I'd probably just put my fingers in my ears with a gusty "lalalala"

dark green leafy veg, certain nuts and seeds contain better calcium for us than another species' milk does, also soy milk is rich in it

yeah, well they're not all created equal, that's for sure, soy milks that is!

12:15 pm

lol cheshire i love cheese also

some I can't stand, some are great--just have to try different ones til you find one you like!

rice, almond and hemp milk's nice as well

12:15 pm

hello everybody

12:16 pm

you have not lived till you try whale milk..the inuit use it as an aphordisiac;)

hello!

12:16 pm

i don't like soy.... but I like almond milk, hazelnut milk...

12:16 pm

howdy ruby

I wouldn't try it, it's not produced for me to have

12:16 pm

lol ruby you do come in at interesting points in the chog

there's something about the expoitation of other living beings, that's well, just wrong to me! so no

2 left

12:17 pm

he doesn't want to grow blubber at a rate to keep him warm in the ocean. imagine that.

12:17 pm

lol

12:17 pm

54% butter fat....

12:18 pm

I'm 2/3 way

12:18 pm

and how do you milk a whale, Crossy?

12:18 pm

i am so far behind,i think im first...

12:18 pm

very carefully ata,very carefully

12:19 pm

I'd think so!!

12:19 pm

first you say"please/"

12:19 pm

wouldn't they just kill the whale and then take the milk straight from the glands?

12:19 pm

hahah

oh yeah, that's a lovely thing to do, Seain

12:20 pm

each traditional inuit villiage to this day is allowed 1 whale kill per community

12:20 pm

but not drinking milk when you're a child leads to bad teeth later. You should see the teeth around here!!

12:20 pm

well, it would seem natural in that culture.

12:20 pm

certainly easier I would think!

12:21 pm

actually, ruby, most of asia does not eat milk once weened, and they have fine teeth.

12:21 pm

in the north all this stuff vegans eat simply does not grow in the 9 month winters

no it doesn't, not getting proper calcium does, but the best forms don't come from that source anyhow! I think bad teeth are the result of not brushing properly as well, some kids are very bad about that!!

12:21 pm

that is true, crossy

12:21 pm

when my son was a baby and we spent time here, other mothers were horrified that he was drinking whole milk. They'd mix it half and half with water.

yeah, it wouldn't crosshair, no

would have to be imported, very costly!

12:22 pm

hello seain, that's true, but their diets have less sugars and starch and a lot of fish

12:22 pm

lol,a loaf of bread in ft mcmurry or frobisher bay costs 10 dollars

12:22 pm

or grown in a hothouse, which can be costly of needing much more than for a family

12:22 pm

Hm, looks like I chose a good moment to go on break. Ruby, I grew up on soy milk. Please refer to profile pic to see how my teeth have done ;)

did they dilute their own milk for their babies??

12:22 pm

Chinese diets are largely pork, and korea eats tons of beef and dog and pig.

hello, Jesse m8, how's you?!?

yeah, it's awful, Seain!

12:23 pm

OK, you show off NB! People around here kid me about having "American teeth"

12:23 pm

LOL ruby

and ta for sharing that, Jesse, my point exactly!

12:23 pm

and my Swiss dentist loves me!

Jesse, you on messy? ha!

12:24 pm

you're likely his easiest client, ruby

12:24 pm

have to feed pups but will miss this scintillating food chat!!! see you later

12:24 pm

Ugh, don't talk about it, Seain! When I was about four and still living in Korea, my parents once forced me to eat dog meat - we had a dog as a pet as well...traumatic. Horrible, horrible, horrible.

12:24 pm

Not at the mo, George, I'm just on break at work! My phone ain't that advanced ;)

12:24 pm

that was all i had to say about it. :)

12:24 pm

OMG, NB, that is terrible!

12:25 pm

when my son was a baby, it was out of fashion to breast feed, so I don't know about that. I did, in the US, but was def swimming against the tide.....

12:25 pm

well, i must start heading out for interview. Til later, folks! {poof}

12:25 pm

*poof*

12:25 pm

Interview? Good luck :)

12:26 pm

a lot about how well teeth do has to do with genetics too.

Wooo- just got one left to find

12:27 pm

wtg Ches!

12:27 pm

up north,and being of u.k origin,our teeth were forever being worked on

Done it

Finished

good luck with that, Seain, ace it!!

12:27 pm

Whoo Hoo Ches!!!!!

12:27 pm

yaa for ceshire

12:28 pm

i never had clorinated water till i was 20 or so

Well, cheers for the chatter folks. See you for the next one!

what you got, an iPhone, Jesse? not many would do this, so must be??

12:29 pm

That's right ;) I regret ever getting it...it's magical. I can't use it but it's the best toy ever.

12:29 pm

lol nb,i plan on getting a pair of the new i-phone 4,s

12:29 pm

if yours is a 4,id apreciate a review

12:31 pm

Ohh, I'd wait until they iron out the kinks with it, Crossy - the new ones disconnect if you hold them at the wrong angle, I hear. Mine's ollld now though, nice big crack in the screen that widens day by day..

12:31 pm

i am watching the cut out issues carefully

12:31 pm

it has to do with bridging the antennae with you hand

12:32 pm

i imagine those bumbers they offer will fix that

Jesse, left a comment in your guestbook a min ago!

12:32 pm

bumpers*

and another, now!

12:34 pm

and if you are carefull a light coat of clear-coat nail varnish will also fix it

12:34 pm

oh George, that reminds me! Sorry for leaving so abruptly on messenger the other day - my flatmate let my friends in and they all kind of piled in and jumped on me ;)

12:34 pm

Ooh, looking now...

I like mine, Jesse, does what I want it to, probably don't use all the features yet, just want to take and make calls and tweet from it! oh god yeah, speaking of that, some hacker got into my Twitter account over the past few days, posting spam on my page!! I was just lucky he didn't change my bloody password on me--odd that he didn't!? I had to change it 2x, did it once and he got back in!!!!

oh yeah, that sounds like what happens around here a lot, mine just show up and barge in on me, ha!

12:38 pm

quite! they are taking advantage of my weakened state ;) I didn't know your twitter got hacked - what kind of stuff was posted? Just ads and nothing nasty, I hope?

12:40 pm

BINGO! Top row grayed out!

oh yeah, you didn't see the adverts in the tweets streaming into my page?? the first was a link to a fake page getting you to input your Twitter name and password, to supposedly sign up for a service that gets you more followers--phishing to steal the accounts of any who entered theirs!!

12:44 pm

hey there... does anyone have the 10?

12:44 pm

I'm working on it now Dor

12:45 pm

rude! hope there weren't many people who fell for it :(

12:45 pm

you'll undoubtedly get it before me... clue when you do please?

12:45 pm

ugh, that is my break over. Back into the fray - got to abandon my crutches for another six hours now!!

12:45 pm

yup. got it

yeah, I hope not as well!! the spammer got a lot more people following my page, who weren't there before!

12:45 pm

think girl frats...

12:45 pm

i'm good bugs, sleepy and probably need to go back to sleep, night shift work...

1:40 pm

are you enjoying your new job red?

1:40 pm

mmmm Aiden just ground flour and made pancakes with peach chunks.

It's alright, has its good moments and some bad ones. but not too bad at all!

thanks for asking Bugs, whats new with you??

1:42 pm

school is over so I am on holiday. It has been pretty frenetic so far but now I am slowing down so I can enjoy it. love sleeping in!

1:42 pm

m9 you are SO spoiled. lucky you

1:42 pm

fireworks

1:42 pm

well done m9. Just in time to eat

1:42 pm

I am spoiled.

1:43 pm

at least until she gets married and goes to spoil her hubby.

1:43 pm

thanks red!

guess the icon theme is Bastille day?

1:44 pm

yup

off to get icon.....then maybe sleep or eat or, ohhh I am tired.

1:45 pm

it is supposed to be red, but I began to feel pressured by doing icons every day and went into lurk mode to hide my shame. I am over that now. Just going to do them when I feel drawn to.

1:45 pm

LOL.. your cloud says it's a water lily not far from your home

1:45 pm

Happy dreams red. You do such a good service for frightened souls

1:46 pm

LOL Bug.

1:46 pm

sn

Oh I do them whenever. lately they have struck my fancy....I got frustrated when the icon theme was "Household tools" or "Gardening implements" but clouds with silver linings, and bastille day I can manage.

1:50 pm

you were one of my models red. I only started doing it because it was so important to jillibus but sometimes I just want to relax, let go of daily stresses and play for me, not others.

1:50 pm

I like tomorrows so I will find a celtic cross and then will leave it up for a bit..

Household tools or gardening implements is easy though, isn't it--you could put up a pic of a broom, that could be either, ha!

I have a Celtic cross tattoo'ed on my right shoulder, goes down the outside of my upper right arm!

1:53 pm

must be huge George

not really no, far as tattoos go--or are you saying I'm huge? ha! well yeah, you'd be right, but I'm working on it!!

1:54 pm

I meant the tatoo you beast!

1:55 pm

My youngest had a huge celtic cross tatooed on his back and i had photos of it but lost it when the computer died

beast, eh? ha! well could be, I suppose!?

oh yeah, Bugsaw? his is probably bigger than mine then, I would think?

1:56 pm

"from ghosties and ghoulies and all the wee beasties, dear Lord protect us"

1:57 pm

I always call people beasts when they tease me

1:57 pm

kids love it

eh, didn't matter to me any, been called much worse things, ha!!

1:59 pm

wow..so now you're a roman statue beast!

1:59 pm

hello all!!!!

1:59 pm

I didn't do it to insult you, just honour your teasing.

1:59 pm

HEY stidmama!

1:59 pm

YAY m, btw!

blimey, m9, yeah--gone from being in ogre to this!?

2:00 pm

down to 70 earlier.

ha! wasn't insulted, Bugsaw! not a bit, takes a lot more than that to do it!!

2:00 pm

hoping to get a few more before I head out... I am actually almost ready for the presentation I need to give tomorrow!!! *very pleased mama look* then I can start the paper that is due next Thursday... and do more research on the lesson I am co-teaching on Tuesday and...

if you can't have a sense of humour about yourself, your probably a miserable person, I reckon--laugh at myself all the time, I do!

2:00 pm

you must admit tho George that your icon is a bit intimidating.

2:01 pm

LOL..I just noticed that my profile says this is a pic from family camping trip!

2:01 pm

no bugs... not intimidating, an attempt to appear tough from a person who really isn't

2:01 pm

what is the presentation on stid? Not trying to be nosey, just curious

intimidating? it's just a quick snap I took myself with my mobile phone camera one morning, literally after just waking up, barely awake--and the light in the room was just too bright, ha ha!!

2:01 pm

<-- works with middle schoolers and parents teens (familiar with technique)

2:02 pm

I am going to outline the assessments I intend to use when student teaching.

2:02 pm

hey m!

2:02 pm

phew stid..I'm exhausted just reading it!

eh, stidmama? wasn't trying to appear tough at all, don't care to be or look that way!

2:03 pm

:-D sorry George. was being flip, but you don't know me yet...

I was just not sure I had the phone camera in the right position and the light was a bit bright for me, not even being awake yet, ha!

I'm not very tough, I'm a marshmallow! unless I'm forced to be, but try to avoid that as much as I can!!

and ha, m9, you take familiy camping trips in some odd places!!

2:05 pm

just keeping using that evil eye look George when you need to be firm. It usually works well, especially with such a beautiful eye colour

2:05 pm

*flops* enough painting for the day. eyes going funny

2:05 pm

need to leave in a few.... drat. just remembered I needed to turn on the dryer about three hours ago! have to head out now it seems. down to 59 and will be back later after I take the kid to his afternoon appointment...

2:06 pm

have a good day stid!

2:06 pm

2:07 pm

2:10 pm

2:10 pm

Seain I am so happy that it went well and that you have an edge. Even better that is will mean work soon. Will really celebrate when something comes thru for sure.

interesting pic, m9, who is that?

2:11 pm

I tuned in to Tim and Gage's convo. My lovely husband is telling my 4 yo which way to run if there's a bomb....

2:11 pm

that's my 14 yo

2:12 pm

looool and which way is best?

oh yeah? she's pretty!

2:12 pm

it was a terrible photo. So I played with it. ;-)

2:13 pm

oh yeah...like you can tell from that!LOL

2:13 pm

her nose looked huge in the original. this really downplayed it.

terrible? doesn't look terrible at all!

2:13 pm

I favor putting a paper bag on my head and waiting calmly when a bomb comes

2:13 pm

re

2:13 pm

the wide angle had distorted her.

well yeah, you can see her features, eyes

2:13 pm

Atalante I love your cat icon

and lovely hair she's got!

2:14 pm

VERY lovely hair.

2:14 pm

ty! Sily's new favourite place, she sits there for hours!

2:15 pm

here's the one she's using as her profile pic: http://tinyurl.com/24y9vmt

what's a Picasa Uploader, m9? I don't have whatever that is but I've put photos on Picasa, without installing anything?!

aww, yeah, she's lovely, gorgeous long curly hair!

2:17 pm

leaving now for a bit. Happy Babbling all

2:17 pm

there are uploaders for photo sites that let you upload more more quickly, George. There's a few for Flickr, too

2:17 pm

oh... for fb, you have to use an app to move pics from picassa editing to fb

2:17 pm

yeah... her hair is great since we found the book "curly girl"

oh yeah, I see, haven't tried to move anything from Picassa to FB yet, probably won't, keep the two separate!

2:18 pm

as one with curly hair, i hated mine til i learned to use highly humectant shampoo and conditioner.

yeah, Seain, seen that but never used any, just do it the regular way and it works ok!

yeah, mine was never really curly but had a lot of wave in it, which looked nice when I grew it out long

2:19 pm

yeah, i just do the straight, regular uploads, too.

2:20 pm

we don't use shampoo anymore.

2:20 pm

just put a hilarious pic of my cat up on FB

2:21 pm

exfoliate every so often with baking soda, rinse with ac vinegar. lots of conditioner with 'cones'

eh, m9? what do you wash your hair with? I don't use shampoo anymore either--but that's cos I don't have anything to wash with it anymore, lol

2:21 pm

oohh..you're shaved?

exfoliate what? not your hair, surely??

well yeah, cos I don't have enough hair anymore to bother leaving there!

2:22 pm

oops. I meant without cones. No..scalp you lilly!

2:22 pm

<<<<<likes bald guys

I used to use apple cider vinegar on my hair, yeah

tried to keep it healthy, while I had it, didn't stop me losing it though!!

2:23 pm

i've found cucumber is good for hair, too.

2:23 pm

and avacodo

2:23 pm

2:24 pm

*too

2:24 pm

I'm going to try making my own conditioner.

2:25 pm

what's a good name for a very small grey female kitten?

2:25 pm

I found on web someone made own recipe to reproduce the deva curl products

2:26 pm

um..dust bunny!

2:26 pm

Elina says "smokey"

2:26 pm

Tim says "vesper"

2:26 pm

I thought Smokey too!

Ok I have finally returned from getting a bastille day icon!!!

2:26 pm

Moonstone

2:27 pm

ooooo. Knew I'd get some ideas here! A good friend has a new baby .... and doesn't know what to call her

2:27 pm

cortex!

2:27 pm

Vesper is a *great* name

I vote for either the Princess of darkness or "friendly" both names my parents use for their gray cat. He is actually the prince of darkness, and not very friendly.

2:28 pm

lol we've just nicknamed one of best friend's cats Mademoiselle la Satan

2:28 pm

griselle

griselle, I like!

2:28 pm

dorien!

I usually like to name my pets with bad names from the Bible, things you would never name kids...

2:28 pm

grisabella (glamour catO

2:29 pm

my last several have been named for gemstones/minerals

I have had Delilah, Laodecia (who became Dicey, and was diecy), etc...

2:29 pm

I heard a woman at the park once.. she was yelling at her kid.. I thought she was swearing...

2:29 pm

ohhhh lovely grisabella the glamour cat

sings, "Glamor cat, glam cat, Grisabella, the glamour cat....shes got fur that sparkles and shines like hematite...

GLamour cat...glamour cat...

2:30 pm

so I asked her her children's names. They were all named from the bible. the girls fared ok: nikota and katuri I think. but the boys were Eliazar and Boaz(the one she was yelling at)

2:30 pm

yes, add in the Us please :P

2:31 pm

oh!!! there's a name from the bible .. umm.. it means little curly haired sheep..

ahh I am not a good brit.

But I do always spell oedema properly.

2:32 pm

litle curly haired sheep!

2:32 pm

One day I want to call a cat Ailuros - it's the Greek for cat and means "wavy-tailed"

ok I must nap, it is Pizza night! once it stops the torrents of rain.

I think my next pet will have a normal name like "fred"

2:33 pm

talitha!

2:33 pm

ooooo!

2:34 pm

we have a grey cat named Cinders

2:34 pm

and hello all

2:34 pm

hi python!

2:34 pm

2:37 pm

I have my lovely SIlverclaw, which is an alternative name for Titania

2:37 pm

ok... hard to find.. most things just say it means girl. but! : "The female equivalent of Talya was Talitha, literally "ewe lamb" and figuratively "girl" (the word is found in the Narrative of the Daughter of Jairus)."

2:37 pm

I love all your mineral names, dc

2:38 pm

Our cats now are Tai Tai, and Jessa (jessa jessa the kitty contessa)

2:38 pm

2:38 pm

when my son was small, he named our first cat PJ, and I always said it was because he was the cat's pajamas, my son never got the joke

2:39 pm

we've had in the past: Pip (short for pipestrell..he was all black), Hansel and Gretel (a brother and sister dumped in our hedge)

2:41 pm

my Dad knew some sisters back in the 20's or 30' named: Pearl, Ruby, Opal and Garnet.

2:41 pm

well.. I better go make that laundry soap. Anyone need clues afore I go?

2:42 pm

M9, that wasn't in Kentucky, was it?

2:43 pm

no. Washington. But my Dad's mom (also a Ruby) was named by her mom from Kentucky

2:43 pm

i've a grandmother fromk

2:43 pm

and since it seems a few Kentuckians went to Walla Walla..... they could have been of Kentucky roots.

2:43 pm

I've a grandmother from KY, a Ruby, with sisters, Pearl and Opal

2:44 pm

cool! We used to visit Pearl when she was a very eldery lady.

2:44 pm

but when she was a young nurse my dad took her to see Gone with the wind when it came out!

2:45 pm

he and a friend were supposed to take her and another nurse. but his friend couldn't make it. so he took them both. sat between them and he says the tears just streamed down his face at the movie and they teased him. He always was a crier at movies.LOL

2:46 pm

nice, m9

2:46 pm

awwww

2:47 pm

3:05 pm

I am thinking a nap may be in order....can't remember the last time I took one...

3:12 pm

naps are a good thing :) I"m a big fan. I miss siesta time a lot.

3:12 pm

this is what I am thinking....

3:13 pm

I laid down earlier, I am just so tired! However, now I wish I was still asleep!

3:13 pm

Naps should be part of our culture!

3:13 pm

yeah they should!

3:13 pm

I totally agree. loving your groovy new icon, btw

3:13 pm

Fi agrees with me...it looks just like me!

3:14 pm

THAT one we are not going to discuss today. BE yotch!

3:14 pm

I know, I heard.

3:14 pm

it got worse. off to her dad

3:14 pm

she is there for dinner tonight, thank god

3:15 pm

you 2 need to find some middle ground.

3:15 pm

But that age is so UGLY!@

3:15 pm

she can get off her bony ass and meet me in the middle. I am sick unto death of her lazing around here like jabba the hutt

3:17 pm

OK...speaking of getting off one's arse...I am off to VBS set up. Big surprise...cyndi and I are doing it alone....again!

3:17 pm

3:27 pm

HI everyone! Welcome to babble unshake

3:28 pm

any clue for the oe 8 / 40 please

3:28 pm

Hi wv, if you have the es 7 add an o at the beginning

3:29 pm

had the es word - didn't see the connection thanks

3:30 pm

you're welcome, "borrowed" the clue from someone earlier

3:32 pm

Do many people complete the whole puzzle?

3:33 pm

I certainly don't Unshake

3:33 pm

a lot of people do, a lot of people don't!

yeah, with help from the Lickety's Babble Clues page and www.morewords.com -- some of 'em don't even need those and finish very quickly!! I rarely finish, not as easy for me yet and too busy to be on much!

3:34 pm

Hi Ata and George

hello Mom

3:35 pm

hi Mom!

3:35 pm

an even 100 down, time to scrounge something up for supper. {{Hugs}} to all of you

3:36 pm

hello again!

3:36 pm

hey Mom!

3:37 pm

see you later Mom... LOL

3:37 pm

hi stiddy!

3:38 pm

how are you doing these days atalante? is your leg all better?

3:39 pm

noooo ... just got told off by physio today lol for trying to do too much!

3:40 pm

blast. I was hoping you would be up and about and ready to come to the babble meet in August and walk all over Olympia with me. *bummed out mama look*

3:40 pm

even though I know you weren't actually planning on being here for that... LOL

3:40 pm

nooooo :( probably end September ...

3:41 pm

end of September is often a lovely time of year in these parts. End of October almost guaranteed gray.

3:41 pm

it really depends on if and when I can actually sort out a research visa

3:42 pm

I think it's more when than if, really... but of course their time table is not on our schedule. *bummed out mama look again*

3:43 pm

Does the "Tile Stats" section refer to the amount of words remaining that BEGIN with that letter?

3:43 pm

yes, unshake, that's what it's about

3:43 pm

the second # is how many start with that tile

3:43 pm

and the first number is how many you have found from that tile.

3:44 pm

yes *sigh* it's just proving SO hard to get hold of people at OSU, UW etc

3:44 pm

I wish I had string to pull atalante, but I don't have ANY connections there.

3:45 pm

and Evergreen doesn't have a marine biology section. Unless you want to do microbiology... phage, pseudomonas?

3:45 pm

it's literally trying to get hold of *anyone* with any say! I'm hoping that after summer hols it'll be easier

3:45 pm

that's likely, atalante. They are also in a search for a new college president, so that might be taking some time as well (at the UW, that is)

3:46 pm

noooo my eyes hurt after staring down a microscope all day :P

3:46 pm

Ha funny. First time on here and I am actually an undergrad at a big ten school studying something similar to your discussion :o

3:46 pm

3:47 pm

3:47 pm

speaking of eyeballs, the eyedoctor last Friday made one simple suggestion and it has made ALL the difference in the world!!!! I can see again, though I have to take breaks as soon as my eyes start to feel tired.

3:47 pm

4:05 pm

Hello, SeaSpray

4:05 pm

Hello, Cathyar

4:06 pm

How is your leg doing, Ata?

4:06 pm

ok ... I had my normal telling-off in physio today LOL

4:07 pm

Whatever gets your through the session

4:07 pm

"you're doing too much!" "stop it!" etc

4:24 pm

Hello, nice to see you Atalante and BR! I must just get on the chat at the wrong time.

4:26 pm

hello everybody, just popped back to finish hopefully

4:26 pm

hi jacq! hi stidgmere!

4:27 pm

heya ata

4:27 pm

Hi jacq. Hope you are enjoying the day. Ours is blue skies, shirt sleeves and berry picking weather.

24 left- will I succumb?

4:28 pm

ours is cold and wet and windy, more like october or november

4:28 pm

am jealous gmere

4:30 pm

We are having our entire summer today.

4:30 pm

of course last week was too hot. typical british weather!

4:30 pm

lol, we had ours last month

4:30 pm

ata, we cannot say that this far north, it's been another poor summer so far

4:31 pm

ick :( it was sooo hot here last week. now rain and thunder!

4:32 pm

We had 7 weeks without one single sunny day which finally ended in mid-June.

4:33 pm

wow

4:34 pm

it's St Swithins day tomorrow, and we have a forecast of rain

4:36 pm

How does one celebrate St. Swithins' Day? Is it with bonfires usually?

4:37 pm

no with a prayer for no rain lol

4:37 pm

if it rains on st swithins day it is supposed to rain for 40 days

4:38 pm

Oh. Now those were serious questions. Ooh. 40 days? I see the seriousness of the situation.

4:40 pm

it is based on a tale than when St swithin (who was a saxon bishop) died he asked to be buried outdoors where he could be rained on and trodden on, he was for 9 years then his body was moved and there was allegedly a huge storm on the day his body was re-interred at winchester cathredal

4:41 pm

good evening

4:41 pm

hello magyk

4:41 pm

Poor St. Swithin. A simple request that had to be tampered with. Thank you, jacq for I was totally ignorant about the saint.

4:42 pm

so was i until a couple of years ago

4:42 pm

poor St Swithin

4:43 pm

You know I read the news on Google but to find out what is happening in the world, I go to Babble Chat. Here is where i found out about the snows in Great Britain this past winter. This is even better than twitter in my opinion.

4:43 pm

i have a question, which may sound ignorant but it isn't meant to be

4:44 pm

is the catholic church the only one of the christian faiths that makes saints?

4:45 pm

Yes, I think it is the only one with Saints. Anyone else have information on this? As a person brought up Catholic, I know about that church but am not able to speak for all Christian churches.

4:45 pm

greek orthodox maybe

4:46 pm

*grumble grumble*

4:47 pm

what hurshy smurshy??

4:47 pm

Hmm, you know Atalante, I think you're right. What about the whole Byzantine branches?

4:47 pm

work.

4:47 pm

i found a stone and well dedicated to Saint Jessie but i have never heard of a saint jessie

4:47 pm

make me feel better, point me to the 10

4:47 pm

it is in the highlands, an area with a complex and bloody religious history

4:48 pm

there are certainly a few wells / crosses etc dedicated to saints who are only known from that one inscription

4:48 pm

so10/70

4:48 pm

Yes, I think Holy people are often locally known (were) and honored.

4:49 pm

well of course the catholic church was once the only game in town (in the UK and other places) and they encompassed a bit more variety back then.

4:49 pm

please, is that weird or normal, ata?

4:50 pm

they have over 10,000 recognised saints but jessie isn't one of them, it was dated 1856

4:50 pm

it is related to sound Hursh, of a bell perhaps or a voice

4:50 pm

oh, well 1856 isn't that long ago

4:50 pm

weird. what a bell-ringing fraternity might be called

4:50 pm

so that knocks out my comments

4:50 pm

thank you

4:51 pm

and the 8's are te, and what other two?

4:51 pm

oe8/40

4:51 pm

fe8

4:52 pm

my starts

4:52 pm

*stars

4:52 pm

all i really know about 1856 is that it was the end of a famine that meant many scots either left or starved

4:53 pm

1856 is the last 4 digits of my home phone #!!! LOL! ;)

4:53 pm

Bell ringers play changes. They are kind of a noisy group. No hints here I don't have a clue about the so 10 word.

4:53 pm

lol cathyar

4:53 pm

me either stidgmere

4:54 pm

Is there any way locally to find out about St. Jessie? I didn't know Scotland had a famine in 1856. I am so amazed at the number of things I have never heard about!

4:54 pm

so8 - loud noises

4:54 pm

a bell-ringing *female* fraternity lol

4:55 pm

got the oe!

4:55 pm

hmmmm

4:55 pm

well the famine wouldn;t have been helped by the clearances, it helped clear out many small towns and crofts, and around that time many highlanders were forced from their homes and shipped to canada

4:55 pm

blame canada, blame canada

4:55 pm

HEY HURSH!!!! :P lol

4:55 pm

but no amount of searching has helped, this well is in the middle of nowhere at the side of the road

4:56 pm

it just seemed to fit...

4:56 pm

the only blame lies with greed hurshy, greedy landowners

4:56 pm

jacq, i know what you should do!

4:56 pm

and the brits expelled many canadians from nova scotia to louisiana...so there! LOL ;)

4:56 pm

get a stone and date it in the past and call it saint jacq and set OTHER people wondering!

4:57 pm

LOLOLOLOLOLOL i think all the demons of hell would be set upon the world if i proclaimed myself a saint

4:57 pm

oh the fe's are the easiest ones, silly me

4:58 pm

ok...back to that elusive so 10/70 please? i just can't see it...not smart enuff to interpret ata's clue i guess! LOL

4:58 pm

I think I have given up the idea of personal sainthood. The requirements are too stringent for me.

4:58 pm

think of a sisterhood, for college maybe and change the hooked letter for another

4:59 pm

sorry, change the first hooked letter for another consonant

4:59 pm

oi...sorry jacq... *WHOOSH* over my head. :(

5:00 pm

oh...oh oh oh! wait...mayby

5:00 pm

ok you get fraternities and so********, frat houses are for boys and so******** houses are for girls

5:00 pm

i think i may be close! :)

5:00 pm

so8: college clubs, with one changed consonant

5:00 pm

ok change the first r to another consonant

12 left....Oh cripes, hooked again. Oe8?

5:01 pm

5:09 pm

5:10 pm

5:10 pm

lol....i guess i do...LOL...ty

5:11 pm

im watching a live aid thing just now and i can remember watching this very film of the famine on the night it was shown live

5:11 pm

ummm...dare i as a clue for the fo6?

5:13 pm

it means a strong foul smell, i have seen it before without the o

5:13 pm

also a singular, of the fo7

5:14 pm

wish i had the fo7...then i'd have the 6. lol

5:14 pm

strong, foul smell...hmmm

5:14 pm

it is usually a 5 letter word ending with id

5:14 pm

any other clues?

5:14 pm

Well ello babble friends

5:15 pm

three letter word for enemy and most of the word for the rise and fall of water controlled by the m***

5:15 pm

hello MPittore

5:16 pm

Hello MPittore. A grid with many challenges today, I find.

5:17 pm

Hi jacq...been lurking and working LOL...here's another word play...only three t's til a fountain..LOL...feeling silly today I guess!

5:17 pm

Hi stig...go go go

5:18 pm

oops..*stid*

5:19 pm

Stid...is that Yoda talk???

5:20 pm

definately a challenging grid...got the enemy part, but the rise and fall of the tides has me baffled...and I should know this being from the town with the highest tides in the world!

5:20 pm

my dog/kid keep distracting me too, which doesn't help. :S

5:21 pm

I moved on...I'll back to it later. I'm just diggin some tunes now.

5:21 pm

lol really the rise and fall of the tides has nothing to really do with the word, it was a clue to a normal use of the word

5:21 pm

enemy and hill or mountain

5:21 pm

i didn't think of the hill part

5:21 pm

ok back to the grid...going in for the finish! brb

5:22 pm

i'm a rubbish cluer, i do much better when i forget to move my cursor

5:23 pm

hmmm...maybe i'm looking at the wrong 2nd vowel. retrying

5:23 pm

I guess it did sound like Yoda, MP but that is not totally bad.

5:23 pm

no enemy is the first part then another word for hill or mountain (s)

5:25 pm

stepping away for a few mins :S

5:27 pm

Yes stid....I agree Yoda was cool! My friend's nephew is a major collector of Yoda "things"...I once talked a Pizza Hut into giving me the cling-ons off their windows, that cracks me up Cling-Ons...funny!)

5:27 pm

ir6?

5:28 pm

One to go....brb

5:29 pm

F I R E W O R K S or Fountains!

5:29 pm

i never knew that was another word for hill or mountain...monkeyed it... god, i feel stupid! LOL

5:29 pm

YAY MPitt!!!

5:30 pm

wtg MP!!

5:30 pm

sorry cathy, i just assumed it was a common word

5:30 pm

wtg MPitt

5:30 pm

and the tides thing either... LOL...I need to go back to school maybe!!! HAHAHA!!!! :D

5:31 pm

no prob you guys...y'all are just sooo smart! :D

5:31 pm

nooooooo, not me, i wish i was smart enough to make sense when i clue

5:32 pm

Congrats MPittore. Very fine achievement!

5:33 pm

jacq...you give good clues, i just don't clue in quick enough! ;)

5:37 pm

woohoo! just found 5 more words without clues... 43 to go! :S lol

5:37 pm

go cathy!!!!!

5:37 pm

orris

5:38 pm

oh sorry

5:38 pm

lol *bows* thanks jacq! ;)

5:38 pm

oooh...and thanks too! :D

5:38 pm

stoopid cursor

5:38 pm

I put cinnamon rolls in the pb....

5:39 pm

Maybe wel'll take the whiskey out of the PB, it is a little bit too wobbly-making I think.

5:40 pm

LOL i am gonna get FAT in the PB, in just one night

5:41 pm

How nice, a good cinnamon roll makes me want to join you jacq in the PB but I usually write through the lickety part of Babble and that prevents many extra words slipping through.

5:44 pm

32 left now! :)

5:45 pm

fireworks!!!!!! finally

5:45 pm

some strange words today even for babble

5:45 pm

stidgmere, i should probably do it through the lickety part but have no idea how to

5:46 pm

Hooray jacq. What a fine achievment. I can use the lickety because Stidmama helped me with it. I would be even further in the dark ages without the help of my daughter.

5:46 pm

YAY jacq!!!! :D

5:47 pm

it's odd, i have expert but have never explored the buttons along the top because i usually run straight into the game

5:48 pm

Choose the add words or chat box and it pops right up. If you only put one word in, it goes to lickety's list. If you type more than one, it goes to chat.

5:49 pm

oh i see so easy to use

5:49 pm

but it's slower

5:50 pm

Well, it may be a mini second slower but just think, you and I are in real time, exchanging our ideas and it is just for the price of a Babble membership. This is such a gift.

5:50 pm

click on the Lickety Add Button Jacq. It will put a small screen up which is where you enter the words. You can move it to where you want by clicking on the blue bar on the top of it and dragging it to where you want it. This will update the word on both Lickety and Babble

5:51 pm

Morning all

5:51 pm

thats very true, the best money i ever speant, true value for money

5:51 pm

hello lynxxx

5:52 pm

5:53 pm

5:53 pm

there is a word that uses 3 of those 4 i's

5:54 pm

ir6

5:54 pm

I agree TO, the first word has given me trouble all afternoon. but, I have probably done as much as I need to.

5:54 pm

I think its a lot easier than the last 3/4 days, at least I recognise all the words (cept for the last 15)

ya lyn, i am stumped at 111

can some one give the stats for the 10? is ia compound?

5:55 pm

well bedtime here i think almost midnight and i have a day with my mum and stepdad, building a shed and explaining my decision to move in with my boyfriend

5:55 pm

5:55 pm

5:56 pm

lo, what an interesting day Jacq. Byee

5:56 pm

5:56 pm

11:08 pm

11:13 pm

what is mince?

11:13 pm

I mean I've heard of it, but don't really know what it is...

11:13 pm

Herin: to me it sounds like great ingredients in a thick soup or stew...especially leeks!

Ground beef Pini.

11:14 pm

oh

I have this home made chicken stock.

11:14 pm

makes sense ;)

Sorry I forget to translate some days

If I had enough crappy potatoes I would make fresh gnochi

11:15 pm

wait...Herin do you have noodles? what about a beef stroganoff?

11:16 pm

well, it's used here, just not really in day-to-day lingo...if I understand it correctly...mince meat = hamburger (ground beef)

Magi with ground beef?

11:16 pm

GNOCHI!!!! Mmmmmmmmm...

Nonna Style Gnochi to

would chicken flavoured risotto work with beef?

11:17 pm

Nonna is what my grandchildren call me!

11:17 pm

Ok I have dinner sorted

11:22 pm

hello all -- it was a busy day

11:22 pm

ahhhhh

I made my own chicken stock a couple of weeks ago. It is heat sealed

11:22 pm

I have one of those machines, herin ;) Love it!

11:23 pm

mo6 (does it extend the "elk"?)

11:23 pm

think of mo**** the cat?

11:23 pm

among other things today, I've been freezing lovely fresh raspberries and strawberries.

Not a machine. The stock was still hot when it went in the jar and sucked out the air and turned the pop thing inside out

11:23 pm

Local ones, of course.

11:24 pm

thx again, magy

And yes I would like one of those machines to store meat in the freezer properly.

11:24 pm

9

O yum Jill

11:24 pm

oh, I get it, herin!

Just wondering if 2 weeks is too late to use it though :(

11:25 pm

anyone need clues slowly? I'm tired, lol!

11:25 pm

I wouldn't think so if it's been in the freezer ;)

11:25 pm

not if it's properly sealed and stored

11:26 pm

I'm good, jilli! don't worry about me! :)

No back of the fridge and it is seeled

11:27 pm

OK pini, I won't ;)

11:27 pm

* giggle *

11:27 pm

I'm going to get my next icon -- Celtic Crosses is the next theme.

11:28 pm

11:28 pm

11:28 pm

oh i love celtic crosses and knots. I have a tattoo of a Celtic knot on my foot!

11:28 pm

And I'm SO tired of coughing! Been doing so since June24 :(

Any suggestions on whether to use the stock?

11:30 pm

go for it, herin...

11:30 pm

Go Go Pini!!!

11:31 pm

I'm confident it should be ok (if it's been frozen)

11:31 pm

hi m9...tryin'!

No not frozen. Back of fridge

11:31 pm

hmmmm, can you google the fridge shelf life on it?

Yes but there is conflicting Ideas. Just thought I would see if babblers had an idea

11:33 pm

boil it for 20 minutes

Thanks Jill

I know that if it smells funky to bin t. But it has been in the very back of the fridge sealed

11:34 pm

According to the US Dept of Agriculture Meat and Poultry Hotline, you can keep homemade chicken stock in the refrigerator for only about four days; however, you can keep stock in the freezer "essentially forever." (bacteria won't grow in the freezer)

:( Pini

11:35 pm

sorry, herin...seeing if there are other opinions

No problems.

11:36 pm

A week in the fridge is stretching it - but if you cannot freeze, place in the bottom back of the fridge, this is where it is coldest. Don't depend of sniffing. It will taste slightly "off" about a day before an odor developes at all. When you taste something and your mind says, "does that taste a little different/a little weird?" that is when you toss it. Never use anything you have a question about. It's not worth it. Better to freeze the broth in a small plastic container with a date on a label (although I never remember to date things). Then use it within a couple of months. Let's say 3 months tops.

That is were it has been Right at the back as our fridge is freezery

Think I may also make a round of toll house cookies

11:38 pm

consider the other "tests" to ensure...

11:38 pm

oh yum!! i like cookies

11:38 pm

TOLL HOUSE COOKIES?? You're killin' me, girl!!!

11:39 pm

Oh, and I'm down to 2

sorry. But USA foods had the packs on special

11:40 pm

Well I can't have Reeces pieces like you guys can. I have to go to the speciality store and then it is a fortune

11:41 pm

I could always send some to ya!

11:41 pm

1

It is ok. I don't make a lot of this stuff. I am the only one that eats it.. So when I make a batch it gets cut into for ''snakes'' then frozen

11:42 pm

well, if you ever want any....hollar

cheers.

My b.f is not normal. he doesn't like sweet food and chocolate

I was busy looking at the test paper to see if I could even do it. Seems fairly logical in an unlogical wy

11:50 pm

* giggle * oh, yeah, that makes sense, herin...it's academia!

One of the questions was something weird like does this have a sense of depth but in the paper it was saying that the sense of depth is really what one percives it as

11:54 pm

messing with brains, they are!

It is for a law test.

11:55 pm

hehe yoda pini

11:55 pm
