It's been confusing, dee, not having Expert here.

Just as well only a small grid - I'm in the middle of doing tax returns and don't need the distraction of i big grid
YAY anike!!!

Non-wifi? Perish the thought - poor ruru! :(
I'm off - unless I can give any quick clues?
just got back from alabama...and survived 5 days of 36 holes/day golf and partying and still found time to stay ahead of ruru :)
jill are you looking for the on 7?
I have wifi dart.. *cackles with evil laugh*
hey I got the on 7
I'm just over halfway.
it's where JC often is
yes, nan
oh -- gotcha -- thanks west
ya know JC..these ladies know toooo much about you..lol
Bye for now
Yes. I was last night - up in Bromsgrove.
where is that JC?
no + all the world is a ***** and all of us the players
Poking in purses again, JC?
Well. They're connected - they see all the updates I post on my Twitter and Yahoo! pages simultaneously. I share my life, what can I say? :P
Handbags, Jilli - purses are too small to contain anything too interesting, usually. Except change.
yes, of course, nan, but like you, I was thinking the world is your oyster or something
I thought that too
Up in the midlands, westford. Near Birmingham.
hopefully he won't clam up jilli
Language difference again, JC. Handbags, yes, purses here, and pocletbooks in parts of the USA
you were near Birmingham and dart was in Alabama...small world
or mussel in on a hand bag
A little over two hours on the M40 from London.
*pocketbooks
we say pocketbook
Ah, that reminds me. Paul, did you not receive an invitation I sent?
uh oh, ruru's at it again
I haven't checked it out yet
Well do, please - then you'll see for yourself. ;)
is there an sy?
three nan
found one of them
sy 4
I just found one...
Auld lang...
I have 2 sy words so far, nan
two fours and a five
have the 2 4's
And another - short form of an instrument.
and the 5
Electrical, keyboard with effects.
I have 3 now
sc x4, sn, so x3, st x3, sy x3 -- missing?
okay.. good night all you lovely people.. see you in a couple of days..
say hello to Coronado ruru
Accept the invitation, ruru. ;)
bon voyage, ruru!
Before you leave your computer?
And a safe trip to you.
Enjoy your visit in San Diego. :)
I can't get the keyboard
Musical keyboard, westford - with effects.
think ersatz, west
Electronic...
I got it
Ah, good. :)
I knew I knew it
thanks JC
You're welcome, westford.
does that Qu tile get used at all?
I was just going to ask that too...
at least on4
hmmm...
t, r, t, s -- 1 x4 and 5 x3
we Canadians should get one of those words with a qu at least
A Canadian 'qu' word? Like what - toque? ;)
close, JC
change a letter in that one
Why thank you - what a strange word?!
ah -- ty jill
not strange here
Is that an alternative spelling of it?
I don't think he ever watched the MacKenzie brothers, Jill!
Who?
A toque is a chef's hat -- the Canadian one is a knitted snug one.
I have only ever seen it spelled with an 'o' - including the winter hat.
I don't think the MacKenzies got to the UK
hello all....can u plz tell me what the tile stats mean?
Here it's not even pronounced like the "o" one.
What do I know, though? Haven't spent much time in Canada and when I did, I almost managed to pull off a Canadian accent on4,5. If you were on MSN I'd let you see and hear, Jill. ;)
Each tile tells you how many words come from the corresponding letter in the grid.
Can't get on msn here, JC -- I'm at bro-in-law's place.
missing a t from the 4th column and an s
Using their computer.
Ah, I see.
yes thx jilly..worked that out but it is the 2/3 etc which throws me
fireworks
Congratulations, flosey. :)
yay flosey !!
YAY flosey!!!
sc x4, sn, so x3, st x3, sy x3 -- missing?
congrats flosey
nj flos
That would mean you have 2 of the 3 possible words, evsnan.
That means you've found 2 of a possible 3 words
ty JC
woohoo, flosey!
2/3 means you have 2 of the 3 words which start with the letter in that tile.
For whichever tile says 2/3 in the stats chart.
May I please have a clue for in5-12? Thanks
and jilli, west, nan, rbud
Snap, Christine!
you have 2 more than I do nan
oh thx:)
I was about to post that, which would be snap-snap
Very snappy of you. ;)
evsnan, when you get all the words for that tile, the stats tile goes grey.
I can be snappy...
flosey -- what s am I missing, please? sc x4, sn, so x3, st x3, sy x3
I'm just too nice to be snappy.
nan, I have sc 4,4,5,4,5
Oh I don't mean it in that way. ;)
oh dear lol......wondered why all the 0/0 tiles were grey.....thx
of course not.
fireworks sans list
sc 4, 4, 5, 4, 5\
You'll get the hang of it all eventually, evsnan - everyone does. Even I did so there's plenty of hope.
woohoo, dart!
I'd better go to bed -- my hosts will want breakfast too early for my usual time!
Congratulations, dart.
ty rbud
YAY dart!!!
wtg dart
good night Jill

Jilli up before noon? Will wonders never cease? ;)

May I please have a clue for in5-12? Thanks.
goodnight jilli, enjoy your thanksgiving
I'll be driving home tomorrow and then going to bridge so finishing this is most unlikely :-(
see you at bridge then
Ah well. Hardly the end of the world, Jill. ;)
*!*~*!* ta da *!*~*!* - also listless :)
think of where you would put someone's ashes....in 5
for sure I hope J.C...gets easier as you understand it all more........only my 3rd try so plod on!!
There are many I start and don't finish...
Thanks, flosey -- you too, but I know you're doing so!
ah thanks dart always miss that one
gapeach - after cremation ...
YAY nan!!!
That's right, evsnan. I didn't understand it yet either, after only three attempts.
yay nan !!
Only how to enter words - stats were a complete mystery for a while.
William has to leave on the early Long Harbour ferry, jilli, Alley and Paul staying until a later one
you lose the tile stats after 2 weeks i think unless you sign up
Good morning all....
rinth
I remember wondering why things in those boxes would suddenly change
they're sending him off by himself flosey?
Good night everyone -- hopefully my Thanksgiving icon will show up tomorrow -- tried refreshing several times, but can't get it to show up in the chog tonight.
And finishing is good, but the real fun is challenging yourself to find the words - and chatting.
I see it nan
good night nan are you having a houseful?
Thanks, Christine, I'm still trying....so tired.
maybe it has the wrong suffix, nan
I see it too very cute
Tired - go to bed, then you're refreshed for tomorrow.
hello christine
JC, my daughter's new bf is from Rugby, has been in Canada 3 years
Oh! flosey sees it -- but I don't! Maybe if I shut down and reopen -- not my computer...
Hello westford.
I see it too jilli
Ah yes, flosey - up in Warwickshire.
Hi Christine -- and bye!
not this year west -- we are just back from visiting the Aberta kids and the one in Vancouver has gone to his buddy's wedding in Edmonton. Hubby and I went to the Thanksgiving dinner at our golf club this evening. (didn't feel like cooking turkey dinner for two!)
how are the cooking lessons going?
I was just in the midlands last night. Bromsgrove.
ah, what direction is that from where you are?
Thanks, Christine, I know you're right, it's my very last word....so I'll putter a bit more.
can't say I blame you nan sometimes just the 2 of you is nice
d only the one, but she asked if I'd show her some more things. I think we're going Greek, next time.
Northwest - if you're asking me, flosey?
I have 34 left -- goodnight/goodday all! *poof*
lovely Christine had a Greek salad tonight
Which word, gapeach?
yes, sorry, JC
night jilli
good night jilli enjoy your dinner and company and safe trip home
Just over two hours on the M40 between here and there - here being London currently. At the flat in Camden Town at present.
Goofdnight Jillibus
Nice area JC -- love the markets in Camden Town
new one to me JC and flosey I knew Rugby was a school and sport didn't know it was a place as well
Oh, Christine, it's the in5-12 that I need to finish. Thanks
in5 = in + what you put ashes in after cremation
(dinner was this evening, west -- an untraditional poached salmon -- delish!)
Westford - it'll be spanokopita, and mousaka next.
Thanks, rbud and Christine. Can't believe I worked on that one word so long. Sweet dreams y'all.
I love both of those dishes, Christine
very nice I make a pretty good mousaka have never attempted spanokopita but I love them
nite, peach, and congrats! :)
Well yes, westford - the town the school is located in and where the sport originated.
Come on down - I'll tell her Mum to set another place.
see I learn something new every day lol
she must be a quick learner Christine those are not easy
Ho Christine - wait for me. I'll be there too
Like most things, spanokopita is easy, once you get the hang of folding the filo inti the little pockets.
It's in Warwickshire, near Coventry - and not far from Birmingham either. You may be familiar?
crashing here and want to get another chapter's worth of Lisbeth Salander in before I turn the lights out :)
The Mum asked if I know how to make any chinese dishes ... I think I may open a school.
I am familiar with Warwick and Coventry both in Rhode Island..wonder where they got the names
you really should Christine
Probably from immigrants.
Ah yes, I wonder. Not. :P
good night nan just think of all those leftovers you won't have to deal with
lol JC
Actually, I enjoy showing them how-to, and I don't need to clean-up the dishes.
we had no naked tax protest in our Coventry though
at least not yet
Peeping Tom?
the clean up is what I don't like Christine
think we have some of those Christine lol
I don'tr cook, because I can't stand, to chop or stir. Maria's son drove me to-and-from the house, and since I couldn
Have you seen today's acro word, Jill, flosey and westford?
oops - couldn't sit to eat the meal, I brought it home.
bedtime for me, will be up sometime before 5: to see one daughter and family off
sorry JC, haven't had time, perhaps tomorrow will have a look
Not to worry, flosey - a new one each day. ;)
I haven't either still unpacking and getting the house back to normal
g'night for now
good night flosey eye still doing well?
goodnight, flosey - sleep well.
yes, west, but see better with one at a time!!
Do people think you're winking at them?
lol, I just don't wear glasses so it's not too bad, just can't read
that should get better
or drive
Hello again...tired, but not sleepy...
Hi, Jellen...
yes, west, when other eye is done
hello Jellen, and bye for now, off to bed
how soon will that be flosey?
hi jellen nice little griddy tonight
Bye, flosey...
Just checked my calendar, I have a mammogram scheduled in the morning...sigh!
TMI?
Better you than me - ouch! :P
no holiday for you jellen?
It's rough, J.C.!
It must be. Saw it once and cringed. :/
They should have a better and much less painful method of scanning than that. :(
No holiday, west...
most things are closed here
Although I did manage to forget to mail my sister a birthday card again this year...
I think she'll excuse you. Was that the sister you just visited?
No, it's my other sister...
are there just the 3 girls?
Yes, and my brother
Unkind people say if men had such a screening, there'd be a less painfu method developed - pronto !!
just like our family 3 daughters first and then a son
My brother's the third child...I'm the baby :-)
I've never found it painful just annoying
I would have liked to be the baby
You must have had a kinder technician!
no, just big boobs lol
goood morning
they put me between sliding glass doors
lol
Hello, ruby
hi ruby are we washing clothes again?
You're probably quite right, Christine.
yoou are too funny, west!
I do my best ruby lol
Westford - that's my take on it - sometimes it's to our advantage to be zaftig.
sometimes
Oh, new word for me...the term applies to me as well!
not me....lol lol
I have news that I can't share with my real life friends yet...
I have on7 stats for the other please?
can you share with your babble friends?
I think so...I have a new beau, or at least the prospect of one...
that's so nice jellen
that is wonderful, jellen!!!!!
doing a happy dance for you
you need a little happy in your life
Yes, I think so, too...
My brother will not approve, I'm fairly sure...
can he haul big boxes?? lol
half!
nice job ruby
it's not up to yur brother!
oh well jellen
No, he has back problems (I already asked)...
oh no lol
He's a drummer in a rock band...
is the q there just as a tease?
even better !!
it is used ruby want more?
tu 5/18, ruby
ty, jellen. I tried nuq5, but I think it's French
is that the French word for microwave?
hahah
it's the hape of the neck
nape* d'uh
I have so much to do that I don't know where to start....babble always seems like the best place
Procrastinators' Anonymous
I agree
Founding member!
how's the washer?
still broken. The repairman lied on Saturday and I have tons of dripping wet wash and it's cold. Thanks for asking :(
ugh
did he never show up?
I'm going to call the company again now, will have to be nasty in French. Very hard.
I'm going to call the company again now, will have to be nasty in French. Very hard.
See you later
Oh, that's bad...
Bye, ruby...
yell at them in English
bye ruby hurry back to your real job
jellen when are you going to have the auction?
Who knows, west?
still sorting it out?
I may need to wait until spring to get a decent turnout...
I think that would be best unless you have a wet spring
are you going to hire someone to do it for you and give them a commission?
The original auctioneer has cancer surgery coming up and will be out of commission all of November...
well then spring is best
you sure don't want to do it in winter
So he was going to talk to his partner about it...I need to call them this week...
do you have it all in a storage unit or is it all over the house?
Almost half of it is in the store building...the rest is in my garage and house...
it will all go well and you'll have lots of $$
We had three storage units full...
oh my !!
I certainly hope so!
too bad you couldn't bring it here people eat antiques for breakfast
The auctioneer I want has a pretty good following and gets good prices...
that's a plus
we have a garage and basement full of beautiful old things too the house we bought came with everything 2 old maid school teachers lived here for over 50 years
Well, I'd best get some sleep...I was a little wired with my news and not being free to talk to my local friends about it...
I remember you mentioning the school teachers before...
I wish you all the best. It is time.
so many nice things I don't want to just throw out might think about having an auction too
although I dread having to sort through it all
He has a complication, a prior on again off again relationship...that's off as far as he's concerned...
The auctioneers here will help you sort things...
men are always complicated lol
Or you might just take selected items to a consignment auction...
I vote for a new relationship with jellen
we do have some consignment shops around might think about that
I think he's leaning that way...
was it his concert that had your ears ringing?
Consignment auction houses are also worth considering...
Yes, it was his concert...
I will. Thanks for the advice. I'd really like to put the car in the garage.
what's the name of the band?
Oh, me too!
Oklahoma Mudslide...they are fairly new, and don't have a web presence...
I love that name !! love the drink too
I take it back...they're on myspace and facebook
I keep trying to go back to FB just can't get into it
I am on there though.
social networking is not really my cup of tea
it's like Lay's potato chips...can't just look at one thing lol
lol
I wouldn't trade Babble for the world
Nor would I...
it's amazing to me how small the world has become
I know...
I hope we've helped you through the hard times
Augh! My computer's acting up, and I'm too tired to try to fix it...You all certainly have helped!
time to have some happy dreams then
Hope so! And then to arise in time for my exam! Yay!
Have a good night...
hold your breath lol
you too goodnight ((jellen))
morning all how many words today please
94 sandra
another small one
94, today
thanks
I thought you'd left Christine
would you happen to have the other 7?
I have the on7
I'd just like the stats please
I have the other 7 Westford...would you like a clue?
just the stats please donna and thank you
I don't even know what it starts with
mi7 40
thanks very much
yw
I might need a clue in a mi6/24
Westford, I'm drifting between Babble abd Spider Solitaire.
a herb + what is your a**?
I see Christine is Spider Solitaire fun?
mi6 is a time measure
or something very tiny
Well, I get a little obsessed with it.
where do you play it?
It's one of the frrbie games that came with the laptop.
*freebie
glad you're enjoying it then
didn't get any with mine lol
just saw the clue donna thanks !!
now I can say I have all the 7's
Mine had about 15 games, like wheel of fortune, freecell, solitaire and spider solitaire, and a slew of others that I deleted. Free cell drives me mad, I seem to lose every time I play. At least with the solitaires I manage to win the game.
I've never played freecell. My daughter is addicted to it.
My sister showed it to me when she visited - we had only one computer, and drove each other crazy, wanting a turn at it.
New Zealand or England?
NZ - the one in Uk has never visited.
riny
I'm getting desperate now lol
it's 4:30 a.m. and Meet The Press just came on..don't they want anyone to see it?
are they about the same distance away?
sorry just saw your answer
hello westford. can't sleep either.
hi trif
I'm plugging along here just 3 left
i just started. almost nbt, and over halfway. so far it's okay, if a bit hunt and pecky
how are you?
eh
how are you?
I'm finding very easy words that I should have gotten right away
I think I'll have a cup of tea, and read for a while. Goodnight, and sleep well.
i just found one of my favorite operas, sitting there staring at me. enable won't take it, but it was nice to see it, even so.
thanks Christine you too.
the russian one?
tosca
I'm eh too lol
back from Maine and not looking forward to winter
the court date for my divorce is thursday, and, whilst I am glad to know this will hopefully soon be over, I am way anxious about it, too
found another word, but truly am poof-ing, right now ... exit st5/14 left.
I don't envy you trif how are the kids taking it?
thanks Christine I need a t an a and an r
fireworks
mixed bag. they are processing it, same as me. what choice do we have? right now both primo and secondo refuse to see their dad for weekends, and secondo won't even go out to dinner with him, or barely speak to him. he blames me for this of course.
huzzah for donna!
Ooops - saw trifioso's post -- we'll keep good thoughts for you, on Thutsday.
Yay donna !!
thank you christine
or Thursday
I think your daughter feels abandoned were they close before?
dads and daughters and all that
not at all close. I find I keep repeating that great quote nancy boy has in his profile -- everything will be okay in the end. if it's not okay, than it is not the end
I like that quote too
nbt
wtg !!
is this your son's senior year trif?
yes it is
wow good for him a whole new chapter opening
yup
bittersweet for you though
nbs
gj !! have both 7's?
no, just one
correction - two!
wow I had to ask for the mi
19 left now
I am bound and determined this will not win lol
I'm just plain nuts
go get 'em westford!
always try to get these little ones listless and now I am
funny, I am the same way. I hardly ever list, actually, mostly because I don't care if I finish or not. I used to be OBSESSED with finishing, and would sometimes lose a whole day to a big grid, which was really embarrassing. now I am happy with nbt and halfway
I think we all go through that at first
I just hate coming within 3 or 4 words
this is a nice cup of warm milk when you can't sleep though
sometimes I fall asleep with 3 left. that's always a bummer
that would be lol
I think I'll give up. Don't fret about Thursday you'll have your babble friends there with you.
i am going to stop for a bit too, and try to sleep. I have plans with my kids tomorrow, and want to be in good shape for our outing. cheers, dear
nite ((trif))
sleep well westford
did you see we have the same birthday?
no way!!! too cool
I know we're a special breed
spoke with the repairman. no washingmachine until AT LEAST Saturday! So, instead of doing the required stuff (paperwork, etc.), I made 3 pots of plum jam. More procrastination
oh dear, ruby!
2 left, both fives
Hi Trif, Ruby
hello bichon
Hello
Hello all, another titchy one
titchy?
tiny
okay, thought it rhymed with bitchy
I thought titchy was a drink?
Britsh slang apparently, which is why we would use it in Australia
hello
hi Infernal, home now?
FIREWORKS!!! woot woot
Hooray for Trif!!
at 5:30 am too - what will I DO with myself for the rest of the day? LOL
actually, the kids are on holiday from school, so I am taking them on the ferry out to the Boston Harbor Islands, and we are going to have a ball.
Good Morning, though I'd say Hi!!!
hi Red
I think I am going to try to get a little more sleep. have a great day, my dear ones
What are on the islands Trif?
good luck on the sleep trif. and Hi Lynnxxx
an old fort, and lots of walking trails and such. we are going to visit george's island, and spectacle island, should you wish to google. night all!
Sounds like fun - and that you will sleep well tonight. Bye Trif
Hello
hi herin.
Hi Red
hi again Infernal
Hello. I thought I was being ignored
I thought you were having computer issues
No.
I was but now I am home
BBL
Later then
hello all... half of Holland was without internet this morning! Crazy stuff. And a small grid, again. Time for more blessings!
morning sprite
hi Chris :) Is it any fun today?
not too bad. been going for about 30 mins and down to 19
mind you seem to have hit a wall now!
ok! Thanks :) I know those walls, hehehe.
Hello
hi lady
How are you all
read at 5.04, it was a bit bumpy this morning. Would have done bills, with help because money issues scare me sh**less. But no internet. So now tomorrow...
Why no internet?
don't know exactly, but the KPN (one of the biggest internet providers here) couldn't deliver internet, telephone nor television in several parts of the Netherlands. Took 5 hours for them to solve it!
wow
yep it was a big one. Can you imagine, all their business clients? I mean, I am just a private user, but what if your whole business cannot run because of this?>
This is one of the reasons I loath internet banking
I just had a cat jump then squeek in my face. i just squealed
my internet is usually very dependable. I love internet banking (as far as I can love any money things) because I can see what happens right away.
I would rather pay at the post office. not a fan
no that wouldn't be for me. At home, safe and with control of everything... that is my thing ;)
Awww
yeah, I live with a lot of fears still, lol. Working on it though.
Having Pandora do that I think she missed me
sweetie
It was rather cute even though I squealed
that un- prefix seems to be very disappointing today
hello all! just a quick look in for now.
hi Lile :)
hey sprite - yet another icon???
HI Lil
hi herin. Nice to recognise your icon ;)
There is a list of daily Icon themes in Sprites icon
aha! so everyone searches for a new appropriate icon daily?
Yes. But I have been very bbusy
what... with life?
Yes
good for you. I don't think I could find a new icon every day either. This one took me long enough. At least it seems to fit the colour scheme today. ;)
I have been away
welcome back... :)
Thanks
has sprite run away? was it something I said?
Sprite may still be having internet issues or she is hunting
it is a kind of ingame game, Lile. It can be very interesting, lots of different icons and information on all those objects :)
hunting?
Word hunting
lol no, just trying to do several things at a time. Not smart.
aha! had an image of sprite with bow and arrow stalking round the neighbourhood
No. Just word things
hm there have been times I'd have considered doing exactlly that
SPRITE you ARE SMART
why is that?
ok - break time over. See you later! happy hunting - with words, bows, arrows or whatever.. byeee
hahaha bye Lile
Bye Lili
oh now I get it, I said it wasn't smart of me to try multitasking. Sorry, am a bit slow on the uptake today.
Opps Sorry Sprite> I miss read
*hugs*
I think I need sleep
ooooo sorry - one last wave... just seen a phantom I MUST share.... agnostyc (scuse spelling)
now I must get on *forces hands to mouse to click to other windows*
ooohhh good one!
mine is menhir... not great, but fun
sleep well, lady
I have 26 left
oh ok, thought you were leaving
I have 39 left
but I ahve installed a new program etc, so am doing ok
I should but not
lol
Just planning clothes for tommorow
I want to finish this. I also need to pack my school bag
relax and all will be good, hun
I am
is this grid rather tight or am I having an off day?
It is a little difficult

she is sad,and also happy he is no longer suffering
yes that part is a blessing
mixed emotions I'm sure
indeed
((((hugs)))) to both of you
hi Wild
ok,enough of that for now,how is the grid today?
is it just our age...or is there just alot of sadness these days? my boss's father was just severely burned last week..man lose his hands..was airlifted from sudbury to sunnybrook
ouch carlee
may* lose..paardon me
not too bad so far, I just started
things tend to come in clusters
it just seems i am heariing so much pain...death... sadness these last couple of months...
oh my Carlee that is sad, how did he get burned?
was burning brush up at the family cottage....lost control of fire....spread through grass... he spotted the gas can....but was moments too late...was trying to avert bigger fire....but it exploded/ spilled
oh geees!
20% burn to face/ chest and hands
Carlee, sorry to hear so many sad/bad things are happening in your life. I've had a year like that myself. By the way, my late husband used to live in Sudbury.
And Cross, very sorry for your loss.
thanks molly.... this was in espreole( or something like that...not familiar with area 0
ty molly
just more sadness...<hugs> for crossy's family
his last 2 years was no life,and he is in a far better place
but 55 years of smoking...

oh dear
mm over 60 years of smoking,wife just said he started in his teens

Hi Crossy and Carlee, happy thanksgiving

ty.we overloaded with turkey yesterday.had all the family gathered anyways,so i cooked the bird
:-)
my bird takes the deep basted trip next weekend
deep fry or oven, Crossy
that way mom does not have to worry bout big meals for many a day
oven mom,deep frying the bird,i have seen it done in states a lot,but it is not such a big thing here
ru nts
sorry
oven here too
Hi Ana
no..we arnt nuts ana
hello
thanks Ana
Carlee, I was thinking the same thing
Hi Ana
we do ours in the oven as well. Wouldn't want it deep fried
i can envision too many disasters deep frying a big thing like a turkey
I have always done mine in the oven, but I have had it deep fried and it is very good
mine gets a whole bottle of white wine do bathe in the night before...then baked in same juices...on low oven....makes devine gravy
yes you have to be very careful doing it carlee
there are several videos out about fried turkey accidents
i can imagine
to* bathe in
i've heard its great..but..no stuffing....cannot do turkey without stuffing
crossy and mrs crossy, so sorry about the loss of your father.
love stuffing
we do a sausage stuffing
tyvm annie
(((Annie))) good morning
hi Annie
Hi (((M0m))), (((crossy)), nono, carlee, hugs to you all
it is so goood,cooking the bird is almost an excuse just to make up a big batch of stuffing!
i always did m-in-laws stuffing.... this time...changing it up..she always did chunks of potato i stuffing..am doing mushrooms
i am still burping it...:))))
Annie, congrats to your Yankees, a sweep. Our Reds were swept to the cellar
eeeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwwww
turkey is an excuse to eat stuffing...love sausage stuffing
never had sausage stuffing
my mom in laws stuffing is amazing...
hard to find beef sausage...or turkey sausage here...
Mom, yes, the yankees did it...first step to the series...sorry about your reds..tell your son I am sorry too. reds are a good team
we have pork and turkey, no beef
sausage that is
here carlee,the mennonites will do any type of saussage you like
They are a good team but the Phillies were better
mennonites are a bit scarce in these here parts
pork and fennel stuffing...yummy
I will tell Alex.
i will do the onion, celery and in lieu of potaotes ( which is quite good) i will do mushrooms
and they are making all their pies and jams and jellies now.....mmmmm
ok..so..babble minds...i have a question
?
??
goooood morning

oooh! next year i shall try a varriation on moms stuffing....BACON STUFFING!!!
degrees, son, shares, house, everything is in that name
and THIS husband is still angry about it....hahahah
ughh...u guys are making me want my turkey today...not happening....ex had kids both yesterday for boating and today for turkey....
i am going back to maiden name..i want to before my dad passes

just keep adding hyphens and names
ah, he'll get over it Ruby
and that was why i wanted to start before divorce final
best to wait carlee
cus he will pass before
Crossy I have always done a bacon stuffing

lol crossy
ya..i know crossy

we both want it done..the courts are jammed up....looking at 2 years
congrats mama
2 years!!

i should not be surprised,right now it is taking that long for citizenship papers as well
not enough judges..not enough courtrooms
and i have to get a permanant resident card for myself as well.i dread the process...;((
I thought osc5 was the name of a tropical fish
once
nonce
with harder economic times....the criminal courts taking up too much court time....we have dug smugglers coming out ears....and harder economic times..stresson marriages....they falling apart like mad
ooh, sorry -- off to the pb
i like your clues best ruby:))
oh stay Ruby, I didn't have that one
bad ruby, need to put a muzzle on me
Crossy, you weren't born in Canada?
my girlfriend works security in airport..u would NOT believe some of the stories she tells me about ways people smuggle in drigs
good ruby, good clues
drugs even
id like them better if i didnt have them ruby :)
what about the crazies who smuggle in live snakes and lizards?
of the 6 couples that the wife and i knew at the time we got married,we are the last ones left carlee;/
my sister in NY always sends me NYPost clippings about them
no mom,i am british by birth
oh how cool Crossy
we came over to canada in 66
it is clear that your niceness makes the difference, crossy!!!
that is a long time ago. Elegant was born in Canada I take it
so my birth certificate looks like a wax sealed and festooned parchment from the middle ages lol.makes it hard to get doccumets sometimes
yes she was
that is sweet
now I have to scoot off here and pack my sweetie's lunch. I will be back after he leaves for work

Hi Owl! The Yankees are on their way!
yes they are, annie. and so am I , off to shop!
bye, owl
awesome, Temple. I like seeing things like that happen
music can save people
not sure if you are near here, if still job shopping, thought I would post for you. Sure they are not top$ jobs but they are jobs
I live in eastern NJ but I'm willing to go anywhere
so it's a possibility
the director is your age
and plays my instrument, nice
hi all
hey TO!
hi jmc
hi jmc
morning, all -- annie, soooo sorry you're sick with the crud :-(
hello everyone!
hey blue did you finish last night? you disappeared
sniffle, cough, sniffle, cough....thanks
alright, time to go run some errands, back later to attempt to finish this one up. bye all!
hi blue
hey blue did you finish last night? you disappeared
No:( I had one left...thanks for your help
hi annie
bye, tcnj..later
maybe I'll have better luck today. I just couldn't see that last word.
mm there we go..fluffy scrambled eggs with a bit of shaved extra old cheese on top, two slices of peameal bacon,a small bowl of mixed fruit in light syrup,some croussants(sp) hot out of the oven with butter and some ice cold sparkling white grape juice to quench the thirst..;)))
well it is frustrating i know --- you could have asked for help --- at that point people will spoon feed you if needed
happy anniversary i take it?
a breakfast fit for a queen
nope,just a day off type breakfast
she is my queen annie;))
Cross, please let me know when you open your bed and breakfast. I will be first in line for a room. What a breakfast! Lucky Mrs. Cross.
remind me what peameal bacon is
:)
next time I'll ask to be spoonfed:)))
hey crossy!
*drops spoon* huh what?
peameal bacon is a lean low fat ,sold on chunks of 1-5 pounds,smoked and then rolled in pealmeal.we usuall slice it thin and fry it
:-) not if you don't want to but just know that every here wants everyone to be as successful and happy as they can be
i shall molly
is it like scrapple?
you told me that before crossy i just forget things
hi ru!
its ok jmc as i forgot i told you:)))
thanks jmc
hi ru!
i think you guys tend to call it"canadian bacon"
morning, ruru
gm e
vs our llovely maple infused and hickory smoked streaky type sliced thin bacon
hi une
the canadian bacon i know doesn't have peameal on it
common up jmc,and i shall show you all the glory that is bacon!
i think i would go into sugar shock if i ate at your "bed and breakfast" crossy
just start the low dose asprin about a month before..lol
lol jmc,i do not use a lot of sugar in my recipies
but you use maple syrup
yeah and I wouldn't have your chloresterol checked for a while once you got back
not like you think jmc
lol ru
it is hints of maple and nuances
what nuances?
it is used to make the great amazing and to make the goo into great
well i will put that on my list -- remind where in canada we are talking about --- banff?
JMC just needs a mormon conference near you crossy
lol a tad more east jmc,i am about a 2.5 hour drive north of toronto on the shores of georgian bay at the base of blue mtn
lol,you need a mormon to visit? lol
ru I never have been to a morman conference
that is a part of canada i do not know crossy
i could invite a morman to breakfast as well if that will help....
lol
do mormons eat meat?
i spent a good bit of time in Calgary and New Foundland and a bit in Victoria (was that where the world fair was in 1986?)
so you have been west and east but not north
most mormons do -- seventh day adventists generally do not
yep that about discribes it crossy
I've been to Winnepg and all over Vancouver and Vancouver Island
the problem is that the canadians always stop me at the border for an hour or more and have done so since 1977
never farther back east
so i have been reluctant to visit
are you on some sort of list?
i went to calgary primarily when i lived in Texas and my sister in lived in calgary with her now (thank god) ex-husband
Crossy, My condolences to you and Mrs Crossy.
Good morning/afternoon all.
morning haz
good morning Haz
my husband and i won airplane tickets to anywhere in the continental u.s. when the boy was less than one so we flew to olympia and then took the ferrie across to the worlds fair
hello hazel
ty blueheron
Hello! We're on short rations again today.
howdy haz
short rations?
n innys
hi haz
Hello crossy. Short rations of words, Annie, Dr-G is holding out on us.
hello swmbo!
jmc ... you've got to stop crossing the border at small places ... they never see anyone so they just want to stop and talk ... cross at Niagara Falls or Fort Erie ... you can usually get through at about 30 mph because they want to get through the crowd ...
are you calling us ninnies swmbo?
hi swm
he does the tiny ones on 3 day weekends and save the 500 word blockbusters for mondays lol
yup cross at niagra..through in a flash
internet connection is acting up so it is just as well from my point of view
Hazel, short rations, I think of gasoline..yes, Dr. G is spoonfeeding us
nope got stopped at niagra when I went to a quaker conference at mcgill (?)
i suppose if i got in a barrell i could get back the other way
must be your shifty eyes lol
maybe you just have that look jmc:)
i have no idea ru why this is true -- there is always a different reason
wow all my icons and no one elses just went blank
and you americans keep trying to smuggle our bacon back home lol
i guess i look like a trouble maker to the canadians
lol crossy!
It's a conspiracy, jmc.
can they sense you are an attorney?
We have plenty of maple bacon here in New Hampshire!!
First they don't let you in to Canada, now they blank out your icon.
they could employ crossy as a bacon sniffer
hi all. ah..another little one
lol ru that must be it!
lol,blame canada eh?
hi m9
howdy m9
hi m9
If FM's not around to blame, Canada is the next best thing.
lol
Putting crossy in charge of the Bacon at the border would be like leaving Keith Richards in charge of drug confiscation
fireworks, my last word had the 5 pointer
at least it would stay in canada
Well done, Annie!
lol!!!!
the first time it happened i was in law school and i left in the middle of classes because my ba****d b-i-l had left my sister taking the kids suddenly on her youngest sons 1st birthday and was trying to convince the authorities she was crazy
whoo hooo annie
but ru at least you know nothing would get through!
WTG annie
OMG, jmc
i spent an hour and 1/2 at the airport in the immigration office
good lord!
jmc, what was the outcome?
my sister had been baking the birthday cake and my b-i-l said he was taking the kids for a walk and he then called her and told her he had left and he wouldn't let her see the kids because she was dangerous
A charmer, wasn't he?
those kids were her whole life and she had become a housewilfe because it was what he--the masters in psych--thought was best for the kids
sounds like he was a piece of work
when i came up he "let" here see the kids in a park and then took me aside to convince me to side with him
more like a piece of garbage.
you can imagine my response
nbt
I'm sure you were really tactful and diplomatic, jmc.
he had two of his psych friends who had never met her (well one had met her at a party) testify that she was nuts
not in the least i am proud to say haz
was your bil canadian?
why annie? are all canadians nuts? lol
how did she get the kids back into the US?
the canadian law tends (tended?) to side with the dad for all except babes in arms so i had to give her the painful advice to agree to only take the baby
crossy, you know I didnt mean that! LOL
mm not good scene
no he was a texan who couldn't get a phd so he went to canada where he could get work
i know annie
ahh a texan...
she moved back to texas with one kid (i flew to canada got stopped at the airport and drove her and the kid back and got stopped at the border)
A Texan. Does that explain everything? No doubt ruru will take up the theme.
nutte
very strange jmc,here if both parents are candian,they tend to side with mom to such an extent that dad usually ends up under bridge in a cardboard box eating garbage from tim horton dumpsters
sorry about that
It was
it was alberta law ... they really stuck in to women ... she was in the wrong province
later he remarried and had a new baby and locked my very awkward nephew in his room for hours at a time to keep their friends from seeing him
here it goes to the other extreme
later he remarried and had a new baby and locked my very awkward nephew in his room for hours at a time to keep their friends from seeing
i think you are right doseff -- the cowboy mentality
please tell me your sister was able to get custody of all the children
sorry ... most albertans are wanna be texans... but I'm an eastern bigot
to keep their friends from seeing him -- my brilliant ex b-i-l missed that my nephew had mild torrents
we do not have cowboys here,but if you can make a good martini and build an igloo you are all set;)
phone
turrets?
lol most yankees who move to texas are wanne bes too doseffing i agree
you gotta understand curling too
torettes?
Tourettes?
lol haz
yes ty i can't spell as you know
We got there in the end.
Maybe THAT'S why they won't let you into Canada.
any way five years later when the end of a summer where the older boy got to stay with his mother the father hadn't contacted her about picking him up
candians are spelling snobs
They're scared you'll be a bad influence in the spelling world.
only torrent i know,was the last movie i pirated online;))
There's no such thing as a spelling snob. They're just particular. I should know....
no we are not jmc,just use those u,s where we want them and it is pop,not soda lol
she called me and i said -- hey if he doesn't pick him up you have no obligation to send him back and so she didn't and that is how she got her older kid (worse for the wear) back
we just like the "u" in colour and favour and neighbour and we prefer night to nite and right to rite
(says the spelling snob! lol)
right and rite are different words
Exactly, jmc!
colour,arbour,theatre etc etc
and it is coke not soda or pop
it is pop,coke is a brand name
all carbonated beverage is pop
so are wright and write ... ... don't forget centre and metre
trust me lol
in texas you ask if anyone wants a coke and if they say yes you say what kind i have rootbeer and cocacola and pepsi
only soda is scotch and soda water
or baking soda
ru are you still here?
Yes, I was wondering that as well. He doesn't usually miss an opportunity to have a go at Texas.
vive la differance!
my long story scared him away
back.. I'm packing for a plane flight
only thing i know about texans is they can drag me out of the heat and into some shade before i die lol
where are you going?
I wa surprised he was here, he said earlier in chat that he was travelling.
*was
San Diego..I am pretty much ready to go..
I know how to locate Texas. You go east until you smell it...then south until you step in it.
i was going to suggest you and mrs ru meet me up at crossy's next summer for bacon and orange juice
my brother tried san antonio for two years and had to move the family.he could not take it any more

I'm amazing myself by the amount of rubbish I've accumulated in my desk drawer. It's enough to bring me down to earth.
and put you in the PB :)
Greetings all!
I'm trying to sort it into piles and they keep getting mingled and jumbled. It must be FM's fault.
Oh look. There she is!
hi fm!
Hello, hello.
okay 1/2 way and a need to get some tax returns done
bbl have a good day
*poof*
Hi and bye jmc Haz has gone very quiet.
The fun doesn't stop, does it, jmc?
It's this tidying, it's distracting me.
Another nice grid today.
sorry my chog froze yet again -- hi and bye FM
*poof for real*
*poof for real*
The grid was nice but too small.
yes just like yesterdays. Dr_G will probably take his revenge tomorrow.
We can take it!
hmmmm
Hey, my desk drawer will be tidy by then, there'll be nothing to distract me.
you only have one desk drawer?
It's been pretty profitable already. I've found £5 worth on Marks and Spencer tokens.
you are welcome to come and do my filing if you fancy a change. oh that is handy :)
Well, there's only one drawer that's dedicated to my personal stuff - I do have stuff scattered in other places.
I don't believe you - Haz does not scatter things.
Okay, they're strategically placed.
That's better :)
You have touching faith in me.
I watched episodes 2 and 3 of Downton Abbey yesterday.
And what did you think?
Still v good but I thought the death etc was a bit too much.
I must admit that it's not capturing me in the same way as Cranford did. It looks beautiful and a lot of effort has gone into it, but there's not the same heart.
I agree, the death scene was not quite what you'd expect!
yup, not a patch on Craford.
I mean, I know he was handsome, but he wasn't THAT good-looking!
Time for me to hit the grind again :(
LOL but what a way to go eh?
It's a good job there was no CSI in those days. They'd have worked it out no problem.
And no Columbo lurking about the place in his raincoat.
Thomas and the maid may still put 2 and 2 together.
Must go and make some phone calls before the day passes. Toodles for now.
The younger maid (the equivalent of Ruby in Upstairs Downstairs) saw something but I don't know if she's clever enough to work out what was going on.
Toodle-oo, FM.
(Another £3 from M and S)

Well done!

You're welcome - how are you?
oh tiny grid again!! hi everyone :D
i am... ok.
Hello, varuma.
hi haz :)
Okay is better than not okay.
i am disheartened because the antidepressant i have been on for two weeks, while it seemed to have an effect on my mood, also has given my insomnia every night which is not counteracted by even the larger size dose of my prescription anti-anxiety sleep aid.
so, i shall have to try something else.
Oh dear! Insomnia is horrible. It feels cruel, doesn't it?
oh ihear you hursh... slept only 1h last night....
yes, and when you are on sleep aids to begin with, and they stop working, it's rather terrifying, in a way.
Hello varumba:)
hi jean :)
I hope you get it sorted out quickly, but reality is it may take a while.
i am also highly disheartened to be at work again after a nice weekend. my boss is out of town and she's STILL annoying me!
I used to be annoyed by the way a flat-mate breathed.
i hate my job situation SO MUCH - i wish HR would hurry up and decide what they are doing about the people retiring so i could apply for this other position...
HR?
Human resources?
humane resources
inhumane resources
ha
lol hurshy
It used to be called Personnel in the olden days.
Hello...
yeah... but then for some reason they had to make it more doublespeak orwellian type terminology
Hello, Jellen.
hi jellen
I think they're really only satisfied when a job title or department has a name so impenetrable that nobody knows what they do. That way they're left alone.
We have offices near here called 'Northern Group Systems'. Any idea what they do?
dickens really hit the nail on the head when he wrote about the Circumlocution Office in Little Dorrit.
they run... systems... involving... groups?
In the North...
Wrong. It's a section of Environmental Health.
I have no idea why they thought it was a good name unless they got tired of being called the rat-catchers.
well, there are probably systems of things involving groups of things that are involved in environmental health.
well, there are probably systems of things involving groups of things that are involved in environmental health.
they have systems for catching groups of rats!
No doubt, and they probably have to write 15 page protocols for every rat they catch.
It is important to maintain the rat's dignity, after all...
FIREWORKS !!
Well done, diane!
Hooray for diane!
hi diane! and wtg :)
Varumba.... are you still here ??? You've gotten me addicted, you know !!
((((( Varr ))))
lol, i can see that!
i normally dont'have the time to play monday and tuesday.... ,but today dance class is not on... so i can ;)
24 to go....
Well done, varumba, you've successfully spread the word so to speak.
any1 got the in 5/12?
i sure have! I know my fgellow tt players would love that game
thanks everyone.... I play much better early in the morning... this one took me about 90 minutes I think... Love it ! and didn't ask for help
in + container for the deceased's ashes
in5/12 - Where did I put the ashes?
I don't think Gerard or Loes will stick with it..but you never know... Loes is a stubborn gal. She learned much of her English , playing TT
ah ty haz and jellen, got it ;)
You're welcome, varumba.
we'll see diane... i know i like this game... plus you can learn new words easily....
And the company is stupendous!
I learned a new word for "tuna" today lol... because I do look up all the words that are new and strange to me
The company is the best part, in my opinion...
You are very quick and smart, Soaz.... I've known it from the beginning !!
you're so good Diane! I started a bit, but i can't look up all the words i dont'know her... would spend my day looking them up!
awwww tx ((((((diane))))))))))
I'm going to chat more.... I'm very good at that too, as Varumba knows ;-)
yep, we liked chatting a lot at tt
diane, did you get the invite from whata on FB to the group?
I've passed on the site to my daughter's sister in law... she's played Boggle for years... I think she'll like this one.... she's a smart girl... a Doctor in genetics.
I did Var... but all the chat notifications kept coming up in my outlook so I unsubscribed ;-(
Is she Canadian as well?
Maybe I was in the wrong space.
i hope you guys don't mind that I have advertised this site to my word game lover friends
oh no..... go back, do subscribe... but then on top right corner of th epage, click on setting.... you will see there a line sayin"g: send email notification to..... simply untick that box.. you will get the notificatiosn on FB, but not in your mailbox
my sister in law ? Yes she is... my youngest daughter is married to her twin brother.
It's fine, varumba. The only time we discourage people talking about it is teachers telling their pupils. Sadly, we've had mass invasions of mad youngsters who only want to exchange expletives on the chat log!
It's happened a few times, but not recently, thank goodness.
we used to get those in TT in the summer. Most of the time we "tamed" them. We got to know some nice young kids.
ah yes, we used to call them VI on tt (village Idiots) adnd we'd have fun kicking them out, lol
ignoring them was the best way... or sending them to "teen chat"... they usually left
The last invasion was dreadful, went on for days until Dr-G finally got rid of them.
aww that's a pain haz
there was someone in here last week, in the evening.... pretty awful language... I left soon after, so don't know how long he/she stayed .
It was ghastly. They started off posting from the school, then carried on from their home computers. You'd think they'd get tired or bored, but no.
TT chat could block obscene words from appearing, but they always found a way around it !
Yes, usually if it's an individual we can cope well until Dr-G can 'flush' them, but when it's a concerted attack from different computers it turned really nasty.
It's such a shame because I'm sure lots of youngsters would enjoy the game, but the chat log is too much of a temptation for the bad eggs.
please a clue for in 5,12
oh allow me : in + where you put the ashes of a deceased person
varumba.... if I "untick" that box , will it block ALL FB notications ? and by the way, I posted a picture of my handsome grandson yesterday... handsome even WITH his eyes closed.
Hello, goldies - it's been a while since you were last here. in plus a place where you might keep ashes after someone's been cremated.
no, it will just stop sending email notificatiosn about that specific group
yep, i saw that :)
thank you!!!
Hi, goldies

Breast, Ruby? You are a longterm survivor!
Hi, LA

::sneaking in to procrastinate during a moment of brain exhaustion at work::
4 left here
ty vic but have it :)
Happy National Coming Out Day, everyone!!
You too Blue! :)
howdy blueandamy
Hello, everyone!
hello BabbleBuddies :-*
since everyone I know knows.. i'll just come out on here in case someone didn't know :)
howdy vic
Hi, Blue and Vi and cos
lol, cos. Welcome out. Is that the proper response?
we know..no matter..less of an issue up here.you can get married apply for all govt benefits whatever.just a day in the life
lol i guess haha thanks :P
Woo-hoo!!! Welcome out, cosdem!! SUCH an important thing to do for those of us who don't feel it will put our safety in jeopardy!
blueandamy - I love the Wind rivers!!!! I spent a week on Clear Lake in my youth!
Is that an iris, Jellen?
Yes, PAV...Hi!
Really, Luwanda? That's awesome!! I've only been out here (from back east) for a couple of years, but I'm in love with it... don't think I ever want to leave!
I really like irises...especially the bluish/purplish
we had a woman last year who wanted to marry her horse.THAT caused a bit of a stir..we had to turn her down though..but only because the horse in question was not of an age of consent...
Me, too...my mom used to have them in her garden...
I've got tons of Siberian irises and when they all come into bloom it's just breathtaking.
OMG crosshair!! hahaha
lol crossy!!!!
lol omg
blueandamy, we camped on Clear Lake and hiked to Black Joe and Temple
Gary and I drove through there in June
That must have been a great trip, Lu... I haven't made it up to Clear lake, but I hope to do much more exploring next summer
June? I was going to say "Wow, bet the flowers were beautiful!" but then I thought about it and remembered that I think we still had snow this past June!
I highly recommend it. I always wanted to go back with my family.
crossy..you have a great story lesson today...
We didn't get up there we just drove through on the way to Tetons and Yellowstone.
One of the ranchers took us up on horses and dropped us off.
missing an s5 I think
I have so5 and sy5
oh you mean my profile pav?? i always go back to that when things get to crazy and you seem to be doing nothing but working 3 jobs just to keep up with marketing hype
it resets my values
sc 5/16
st 5/14
umm,i have a question..i seem to have photos in my flicker that are not mine...this is wierd
You mean sc5/12, or is there a 5/16, too?
having an MBA, and realising afterward it hasn't helped much, I'm fishing for the quality that comes with life...
lol i see this person is crosshare and i am crosshair flickr has messed up
an sc5 12? hmmm..oh I have that...must be the other sc5 16..have the st5 as well
sc5 16? hmmmm
weird, crosshair!! but in order for the pictures to be in your account, the impostor crosshare would have had to have had your password, right?
found it! thanks Jellen...
3
you would think so blue...
i usually have nothing in there because i have never been able to get flickr to work properly for me
2
I think sometimes Flickr gets its wires crossed so that someone entering stuff on one account shows up in another. That happened to someone else on Babble once.
that is strange...
that's Visuna, but i a have that 0n4 also...
Yeah, and a little creepy, I think! But I don't know all the details.
vic, gonna go outside and replant my irises from my aunts garden in TN. She used to belong to an iris gardening society and crossed them
oops! *thanks Vicuna*
Sorry, was in another window...shouldn't try to multi-task...
Oh how cool, Luwanda. So you have your own special variants!
we went back to the old place and dug them up
That's good. All different varieties of plants should be saved and treasured.
she used to have a peach colored one that was huge and very fragrant
I cross-breed rudbeckia - but not on purpose. lol They just self-seed like crazy and every once in a while a noticeably different variant turns up.
kay, gotsta get back to work, but it was lovely babbling with everyone, even if just for a few minutes :-*
*poof*
Bye, BlueAndAmy.
1 to go...appears to be an no5...I have an no5 12...
I can't wait to see what we got. I already have an amazingly large yellow one that blooms in june and the fragrance is wonderful
bye blue
bye BaA
Nice, Luwanda. And fun to be surprised.
there's no 5/10
I will bring back wonderful memories of her!
Better get outside with my gardening.
later babbler friends
Have fun, Luwanda!
no5 10? hmmm?
That means there IS an no5/10, in case that was ambiguous, by the way.
have a great day Luwanda!
no5/ 10, an ensemble made up of a certain number of people
Yeah - an ensemble in which the ni5/12 person is the last! =)
And there are no te4/4!
so many voices, so many clues! ack! and a musical term to boot!
Or consider it to be why the trawler couldn't catch anything! ;)
ok...monkeys arealive and well today! thanks all..fwds!
Yay for PAV!
sorry, I tend to think musically
makes it easier for me
congrats pav

I believe words will be joining me for salmon this evening...
crossy does not care for salmon,but i can do amazing things with some nice trout fillets
hello everybody
howdy jacq
heya crossy
sigh..still at 29 but listless;)
I can make trout disappear too!
i do a breaded coating with rare herbs and spices and some fine romano cheese mixed in,the fillets are dipped in milk and rolled in the mix then lan fried in virgin olive oil till crispy on the outside and moist and flaky inside
hi jacq! how are things where green is good?
things are cold lol, but the sun shone today and the soul rejoiced
we must pencil in trip to crossy's for dinner...
i serve it with steamed veggies and sweet potato frittes
I'll bring some dessert or another...
bring a nice cheesecake
My dog ac 4/5 like such a person sometimes. I do not make him sleep in his ca 4/7 anymore. He sleeps with us. He loves to chase after ca 4/5. He loves to ea 4/4 rewards like dog bones. He loves to roam the Ea 5/12 on nice sunny days. He ea 4/4 Purina dog food. He loves to spend eo 4/4 amount of time chewing his raw hide. He likes to listen to Ga 5/16 music, just like my hubby.
crossy, i thought virgin olive oil was only for drizzling? i'm sure i read somewhere that using it for cooking turns it into bad fats
and a unpretentious 300 dollar wine;0
** adds geen beans to tonite's menu*
300 dollar wine???????
chokes on my bargain bucket coffee
it is the extra virgin you do not fry with jacq
Accidently entered the story of clues I'm working on and am not done yet! So sorry!
it has too low a smoke point
lol np mon
min
ahhhhhhhh i knew it was one of them
but regualr cold pressed virgin oil is fine for frittes and quick asian stir frys
not for deep frying of course
an unpretentious 300$ (is that US$ or Canadian?) wine...hmmm? where's ruru when you need him...
just a tablespoon or 2 can do anything;)
does not matter pav..we are alomst at par anyways
we are all almost at par, all the world over
a nice white..about a 3..not that 0 lip pukering itallian stuff
...and now you see why I choose to (fornowdream about) leaving to US for another place ...close to water...with fewer people, but friendlier and without political messes...
a pinot grigio?
common up pav.i am right on the shores of georgian bay..bring your boat
Pav, you could live on mars, even the moon has political messes
I dream of leaving the US....monkeys are interfereing with reg typing
crossy, I have baggage and two pets...alas, no boat...
are the pets edible?
is there water on Mars...?
you could take them to mars with you
there are traces of water ice
here are a few pics of our bit of water....
while I suppose jacq, somewhere someone would be eating Lhasa Apsos...but not me
http://travel.webshots.com/album/55487 5732wKrYuB
not accessible for the moment crossy...
mmm:(
Georgian Bay...is near water, yes...perhaps I should ahve said warm water, year round...
gads..27 and grinding away:(
lol,we do not do year round warm..sorry
do you need help with words today Crossy?
well for the right place, price and people, I might change my mind...
not yet pav,i am trying for listless and just keeping my eye out for any clues that may appear and match what i need...am getting there
does minus 30 bother you in january?
thats when we get the ski bunnies;)
not if I'm indoors and cozy...and I don't have to go anywhere...
I like bunnies...but you're not talking furry little aminals are you?
amazing sillicone augmented mouth breather poured into spandex ski outfits and unleasehed on the unsuspecting local skiers
yeah, that's what I thought..I have no use for them either...
all their partners are older and called daddy lol
we usualy get them to go home at the end of march:)
we can offer a really interesting martini and sushi place
finally, the landscapers are BLOWING the dirt away left behind by their scalping and scraping of debris left by our microburst of a storm that brought wind and hail to peaceful Phoenix...at least our trees are nuded enough to see through them!
after 3 of thier martini,s you do not care if the seafood is still moving on your plate
um, crossy,...martinis? sushi? seafood?..if it's not dead, I'm not biting, and I only do fish...or scallops
I've not had a martini, nor a martin nor a tini...
anyone have a good home recipie for that itallian easter pie?
italian easter pie?
saw it on cake boss on tv and it looks delish
lol pav,my martini,s at home are deadly.what you do is take a chilled large matini glass out of the freezeradd it to a container of crushed ice,shake and strain it into the glass,lean over the glass and whisper the name of the man who invented vermouth,then take a nice plump olive and implae it on a solid silver swizzle stick and add to glass and enjoy!
add vodka to the ice,not the glass lol
for a sec there I thought you were going to kill me...!
the glass should be wide enough that when you bring it to your lips the fumes and aroma rise up and wrap around your head
is it the vodka that mixes with the olive to create the aroma and taste?
a nice smirnoff blue label or one kettle vodka
it is the whole experience,the 55 to 75% alcohol vodka chilled to its limit,the plump olive.if you must add 3 drop of vermouth with eye dropper lol
but strained and no cubes..we must not bruise the alcohol;))
ladies may use a short silver straw to preserve their lipstick;)
Back again...I have a low tolerance for physical labor!
lol as do i
but i can applaud great work.do a hard task for me and i can raise a toast to you that will shake the heavens:)
lol
lol, crossy!
hmmm, Smirnoff makes a Tuscan Lemonade
a good vodka will have a very mild coffee sort of finish to it
grey goose is also not bad
the polish potato vodkas also have their place
my favorite? Absolute mmmmmmmm
mm lady i have not pataken of absolute vodka
Grey Goose looks a bit more expensive...
it is pav
Hi, Lady B
Hi Jellen
and do not buy the flavoured vodkas,get a high quality vodka and flavour it at home
you can enhance it at home with lemon or orange zest,some like pmmegranite
never heard of flavoring vodka until martha stewart was making cucumber vodka and lemon vodka
cucumber vodka is nice for summer drinks
she put cucumber vodka in bloody marys sounded yummy
you can also enhance vodka with cinnamon and serve it warm in a cider
what about Skyy?
skyy is a low end vodka,i do not use it
same with polar ice
StolI?
i have not tasted that 1 pav
that should read S T O L I...
ahh that is a workingmans vodka
vodka for the masses,but at least they know vodka
they have some high end stuff that is so amazing and rare..but too much for my bank accounbt i am afraid
that stuff is taken neat in tall shot glasses that have been frosted in the freezer,no mix,no ice.you try to add mix,you will not be served another lol
ok off to walk the prperty with the landscaper...he wants to keep his job...bbl
k pav
Later, PAV
clue please for the in 5/12 ??
in + vessel for ashes
in+ place for cremation ashes
never mind
monkeyed

thanks
:-)
25 to go and still listless;)

congrats
Wahoo!
Congrats, lexi!!!
hello all my peeps.. lil*monkey in da house
lil*monkey!
ooooh! I see another cute lil monkey in da house too
Thanks! I rarely ever finish, but when there's less than 100 words I really have no excuse :)
lexi is cute
lil*monkey has a crush on lexi now
hi lil*monkey
lexi may have a crush on lil*monkey too ;)
hi lady beeeeeeeeeyotch
how are you???
GTG, see you all at the flip!
i have a bit of a headache but i'm doing OK, enjoyed having today off work. Thank u, christopher columbus
byeeeeeeeeeee lexi monkey
Bye, lexi
how are you, jelly poo
I have been "nursing" a hang over today Heineken hangovers are nasty
I am good, lil!
i think mine is a "sugar" hangover, since I baked cookies last night and I (of course) had to eat 1-2 cookies per tray
Of course you did!
i am going to send the cookies to Shannon, the daughter of my BFF, who is a freshman in college and needs a care package
I eat one of two of raw dough that never make it into the oven and then a half dozen of so when they come out
Aww...that's nice of you!
happy to do it :)
i have never liked the raw dough
fireworks for me..................hurrahhhhhh
I know it is soooooo not good to eat it that way
LOL @ lady B "half a dozen" out of the oven
Yay for tc!!!
congrats tc
yay for tceichie poo
i pronounce "tceichie poo" as "chee chee poo"
there we go,dishes soaking and i whipped up some carrot muffin batter and have 2 dozen in da oven:)
how aabout ikey poo
uh oh some dude on Maury just found out he is NOT the father
Wow, crossy!
where are you getting ikey poo if your name is chee chee poo
monkey!!!
just made it up....just cause
Hey, littlebit!
top of the hour and they will be done;))
hey jellen!!
howdy libit and lilmonkey
littlebnit!
OMG! hello littlebit!
hey crossy!!
littlebit, i invited aanother girlfriend to meet up with us for pedi on Sat, hope u don't mind
not at all!!
OK cool, did u find out where to get your Tshirt?
i'm going to have to pick it up that morning.
okie dokie
what time you want to meet up?
i think our race starts at 8:30? is that right?
don't remember, but i know the packet pick up is 7-8:45
are we meeting there or at Lynhaven mall?
omg,just saw a woman on tv who got a double masectomy as a preventative measure simply because breast cancer runs in the family....
lynnhaven if that's good with you
OK we can meet there around 8:00, if that's good for you
lol thats like getting a total hysterectomy "just in case"
oh my crossy!
sure, sounds good!!
i don't understand it cwossy, but eveidently if you carry the gene, they recommend that surgery
they give you the BRAC test first to see if you carry the gene, if you do, apparantly you have 80 some percent chance of getting breast cancer
OK littlebit, lynnhaven at the Big Dick at 8:00 LOL
That's a high percentage...
haha! i'l be there!
from what I've read about it, jelly, the BRAC test is a strong indicator of developing breast cancer
my paternal grandmother who was afraid to go to the doctor's found a lump on her breast and treated it with iodine
iodine? hmmm
poor thing, no "modern medicine" back at the turn of the century
delivered all 6 of her children on her dining room table OUCH!!!
Oh, my!
ew! Did they actually eat off that table? OMG
I can't even imagine.....the fact that they had out houses totally grosses me out
i've used an outhouse
she was a clean freak - so I am sure there was much disenfecting when all was said and done
At girl scout camp...
but to thing they used them day in and day out
*think
yeah that's gross!
Oh, I feel a nap sneaking up on me...going to confront it...bbl...
actually crossy my boy's exgirl friend had a hysterectomy at 20 because her mother had used thalidomide in Korea when pregnant with her
later, jelly poo
WHAT?
I could use a nap too but too late here to think about that now - I would never sleep through the night
apparently when we quit using it here we sold the leftovers to third world countries
isn't that kind of excessive? to have a hysterectomy?
this is my break from a long day of working
ok,i suppose there are exceptions when it is warranted jmc
hi je :)
no, not really because not only did it mean she was likely to have horribly deformed babies but that she was almost certain to have cancer
my mom took DEA during her pregnancy with me, which was some kind of anti-nausea or anti-miscarriage drug, and which left me at higher risk for cervical cancer, apparantly. But I'm fine
this brac test is new i guess and accurate?
thalidomide had no happy stories
yes cwossy, it's pretty new and supposedly accurate
lots of thalidomide horror stories,here moms took it in the 50,s as i recall
but i stand corrected if there is this accurate test that can nail down a 80% positive result..then people must take precautions
when i was a girl, living in England, i saw lots of kids with flippers instead of arms/hands
i was reading about the brac tests and apparently if you are jewish or if you have relatively close relatives with cancer it makes sense to explore it as a possibility
fireworks!!!!!
yaa for jacq!!
congrats, jacqie poo
but they recommend that you test the person with cancer first if possible
whooo hooo jacq!
my next door neighbour was a thalamide baby, she had no arms, but she has 4 kids she raised with no help from social services, she can drive and has a damned good job, just because she is stubborn
good time to pitch folding at home crossy
ty ty ty
i like hearing positivity stories like that, jacq
yes i have a friend who was not a thalamide baby who was born with no arms and so was his son
oh she was off her head, a nutter and then some, but in the best way, she went to regular school and put up with a load of bullying
indeed.everyone folding at home is a program from the ini of waterloo where you can be an active paricipant of cancer research.what they do is make it so you can use spare bandwidth on your home computer to be added to other.then all this bandwidth is used for protien folding in humans,to unlock cancer genes etc
there were some cases being investigated to see if it cuased a genetic mutation jmc, but i didn't hear anything about results
you can actually watch human protein folding in progress
ata and I have a team you can join: 173981 named Babblers
and if your computer is the one to unlock the key gen,your name will go into the books
gene
i have signed up all three of my computers so that which ever one i am one will fold
i fold at home
*commercial over*
have done for a while
(not suitable for low power or very old computers)
you do jacq? good for you
i have been doing folding for years
lol jmc, i signed up a couple of years ago at college and they are still using that machine for it
i'm lost, what are you peeps folding?
it is your chance to activly help and not just toss money at the cancer society.you are in front doing actual work to identify cancer genes
human proteins
how do you do that
heya monkey
it is done at the university
we supply the computer power
this headache must be worse than i thought
google folding@home
i have no idea what you are tlking about
lil*monkey's head is spinning
with 10,s of thousands of people donating unused computer badwidth,the university can do hundreds of man hours of work in a single year
hundreds of years of work in a single year*
quite incredible really
is this a money making thing or do you donate your computer power
no money
you donate spare computer power
just power
i would not mention it if it was just a money scam
OK
this is the rreal thing,working for a cure
i like my proteins all folded and neat, so thanks for what you are doing LOL
getting in there and getting dirty lol
oh i did not mean to imply it was a scam, cwossy
time to head off to bedland
have fun and fireworks everyone
i know lilm
nightie nighe jacqie poo
OK i need hi5 for the 7s
bye jacq

well now we have a new group I want to encourage people to consider folding @ home

gooo lil
there is a babble team working with stanford university to find the cure for cancer
i listed at 87
it costs you nothing but band width you are not even using
dammit there's so many N words
28 left but not listing yet
but done earlier
there are more S words lil
i will add it all into my profile later on jmc
i guess i did not capture their imaginations
8 left here and still listless
nice ang

ok..cracks knuckles.....
Folding@home ("Folding at Home") (sometimes abbreviated as FAH or F@h) is a distributed computing (DC) project designed to perform computationally intensive simulations of protein folding and other molecular dynamics (MD), and to improve on the methods available to do so. It was launched on October 1, 2000, and is currently managed by the Pande Group, within Stanford University's chemistry department, under the supervision of Professor Vijay Pande. Folding@home is the most powerful distributed computing cluster in the world, according to Guinness,[2] and one of the world's largest distributed computing projects.[3] The goal of the project is "to understand protein folding, misfolding, and related diseases."[4] Accurate simulations of protein folding and misfolding enable the scientific community to better understand the development of many diseases, including sickle-cell disease (drepanocytosis), Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, Bovine spongiform encephalopathy, cancer, Huntington's disease, cystic fibrosis, osteogenesis imperfecta, alpha 1-antitrypsin deficiency, and other aggregation-related diseases.[5] More fundamentally, understanding the process of protein folding — how biological molecules assemble themselves into a functional state — is one of the outstanding problems of molecular biology. So far, the Folding@home project has successfully simulated folding in the 1.5 millisecond range[6] — which is a simulation thousands of times longer than it was previously thought possible to model. The Pande Group's goal is to refine and improve the MD and Folding@home DC methods to the level where it will become an essential tool for MD research,[7] and to achieve that goal they collaborate with various scientific institutions.[8] As of August 31, 2010, seventy-five scientific research papers have been published using the project's work.[9] A University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign report dated October 22, 2002 states that Folding@home distributed simulations of protein folding are demonstrably accurate.[

Just hand the boss a jar of peanut butter and move on, Pav.
Lurking fireworks - Happy Babbling, y'all--POOF
lol! i made him some oatmeal cookies with almonds on top...he liked those...
yay Met!
I recommend Van's gluten free blueberry waffles. To. Die. For.
can vegans eat peanut butter?
mix? or frozen?
i do not bake for gluten free,peanut free,sugar free,wheat free,if it becomes a complex formulae to stop seizures,then it is work,not fun
Frozen. Peanuts are a vegetable (legume).
i just warn everyone what is in it.if you can eat it...do so
i was trying to perfect the diabetics' cheesecake for friends and family...still not there yet...
Good evening to my fellow babblers!How is everyone?
By the way, congratulations to all the finishers! YAY!

You are very thoughtful, PAV
Hello Judi! How are you doing? Welcome to the puzzle

No 4/4 of the words were too hard to find today and I am almost done with grid so here's a story of clues. My story today is about my dog Jack.He was born on February twenty-ni5/12. Jack was the ru 4/5 of the litter, but on4/5 I got him, I just fell in love with him immediately. He was a little too th 4/5 when we first got him,but he is the perfect size now thanks to the dog food he ea 4/4. He ac 4/5 so silly sometimes. He used to sleep in a ca4/7,now he sleeps w/us.He likes to chase ca 4/5. He also likes to ea 4/4 rewards like bones. Jack likes to roam the Ea 5/12 on nice sunny days.When it rains,he spends eo4/4 of time chewing his raw hides. He likes to listen to Ga 5/16 Brooks so 4/6s just like my hubby.He is quick to get his butt in ge4/6 if he knows he is going on a walk.His breath is so bad, I don't even think breath mi 5/12 would help. I do brush his teeth with mi4/5 toothpaste, but that does not help.Whenever my husband and I try to get close and snuggle, my dog is no 4/6 and has to come in and interrupt us. My dog also like to ra4/5 around outside & chase squirrels.He is a great dog. Leaving him alone does not put him in a ra 4/6. He just waits patiently for our return. When I take him to the dog park, he is not a sn4/4.Jack loves to play with other dogs. Jack has to4/4 of to 4/6 to play with at home. Now it is hubby's tu 4/5 to use computer. I hope you took no 4/4 of my hi 5/12 & found more words. I will be back later tonite to enter last word for fireworks
tons

Adios lbdawger! Enjoy the rest of your class tonight!
anyone have a clue for sc 5/14/
sc5/16 is sc4/7 word with a hook letter in the middle
sorry, blue. I have the sc 5/12 and the sc 5/16, but no sc 5/14
sc 5/12 is sc4/5 word plus the cross letter blueheron
Those are the only 2 sc5 words grid today blueheron.
Not that I care, but in rankings under the who's hot column, the higher your number the better, correct?
guess it was the sc5/16 help
Min, I think that's true for all of the rankings
I've decided to keep track of only that 1 column daily
nm I found it thanks anyway peoples
any help on either the o or the i? I have on4/5 upon a time and in4/4 - places to spend a night
whose hot is best recent scores
Hello msideb01!How are you doing?Welcome to puzzle
Hello jmbdobie2! How are you? Welcome to the puzzle

Why, thanks, Min... I made it down to 8 without the list and need a little boost for fireworks
Go msideb01 go!
I got story of clues in my profile if you need msideb01
ah... thanks, never would have gotten that one without monkeying it for a while
fireworks!!! Thanks everyone!!!!
Congratulations blueheron on fireworks!Good for you
yaa for blueheron!!
YAY, blueheeron!!! WTG!!!!
It took a while but I made it:)

Hello Pinikula!How are you doing?Welcome to the grid
PB = penalty box (an imaginary place where we send people who put words from the grid in the chog)
hi everyone again, toughie this grid...
aah ok
it has food and cabana boys and I think there is a bed that stidmama put in there for me a long time ago.
Congratulations tcnjgrad10 on going pro! Way to go!
Hi redturtlehead! How are you? Welcome to the grid!
we keep it well stocked with cholits and cabana boys, grad10...however, I'm sure we come up with a few playboy bunnies for the some of the guys :)
Hi Minver, I am tired. very.
and masseuses.
* choclits *
I am tired too. I went to bed at 2:00 and got up at 8.
Hey, I didn

Hello Mrs. T.!How are you doing? Welcome to the grid
I didn't know there were choclits in the pb! Evening, all!
Hi, Minveryork!
<-- partial to the cabana boys :)
it varies from day to day Mrs T.
of course, Mrs. T...we have great punishments here!
could you include a bigscreen tv?
Almost makes me want to commit an infraction :)
SOmetimes there is pot roast.
I'll put that on the wish list, grad10!
I think there may be a tv in there tcn...
there is a hot tub. and wine.
not big on wine, allergic. I prefer vodka-cranberries w/ lime
I think there's a full bar in there somewhere ;)
I dont actually drink any alcohol! but...
someone said playboy bunnies...
here's an old picture of the PB (courtesy of FMitch, who I think may have been the originator of the PB)
Ooops! here's the link: http://www.flickr.com/photos/8837646@N 07/2701271903
hi nef!
hey nef
great reference, Nef...
...I'm imagining a deck and pool just outside the sliding glass doors to the right * grin *
hi red and Pini! I guess I was off trying to find that picture when you came in
Thanks for posting link Nef!I have never seen the PB until now.That picture is great!Nice to put a face to a place.Did FMitch put together that picture as well?
someone said bunnies...
hav tu5 4...what's missing?
Pini, they are there; where do you think the cabana boys hang out? Not in the kitchen I'm sure!
* bunnies and bacon * in the PB just for you, crossy! :)
ain't that the truth, nef! LOL
You need tu5/16 and tu 5/18 words. Want any clues?
not yet ;)
ok, I need a clue for the other non-theatrical 7-letter word... help?
can I have help with the sc5/16 please?
mi7
mi 7/40 is mi 4/5 word plus how old you are msideb01
Hello Lady Biotch! How are you? Welcome to the grid!
hi Min, I am well
sc 5/16 is sc 4/7 word with hook letter in the middle.
thanks, Min... I'm 22
one of the young ones in here, =P
you're not alone
Well then, cheers, tcn!
mside, there's a lot of young'uns here, several teens and younger
I'd say I'm one of 'em, but I'd be busted!!!
LOL, Pini! Me too! :-)
we're all as old as we feel, I feel pretty old today...
Min - did you clue sc 5/12 or am I missing something?
ok...obscure nudge for the tu5/18?
I do too, red. Are you ill or short on sleep?
I suppose I don't generally perceive the Babbling community to have that many young linguists amongst its ranks... silly me!
when my gd visits, she helps me...she's 9 ;)
just work, and some minor health/muscle running issues, sitting on a few ice packs...
oh...wait...she's 10 now (turned in Sept)
No, I clued an sc5/16 word Lady Biotch.Is that what you needed?I can clue sc5/12 word if you need it too
That tu 5/18 word uses the two-lettered tile Pinikula
no, I must be getting tired probably looking right at it.....thx
Darth used to babble a lot and he was about 15 or 16...
She'l be out-Babbling us all in a few years, so look out!
got it!!! I thought it might...but kept using 5 tiles...not 4 with 5 ltrs
Maybe MinPin team can get FWs together tonite Pini
Oh I am annoyed, I think I will not complete tonight, should not have started :(
ewe kin due et, red ;)
peace red..breathe..and folow me to the finish...

Hello, everyone!
congrats all, and gooooodnight!
hi Jellen! How are you? (I like the new icon)
G'night, mside
bye, msideb
I'm not sure how I am, to tell you the truth...
oh??? What's up?
Went to a concert tonight, which was nice...two friends were supposed to join me...one backed out this afternoon, and the other just didn't show...
I don't know if I'm angry, disappointed, sad, or worried...
jel that is upsetting and confusing to be sure
sounds like a couple of sticks in the mud to me
has this ever happened before?
Yes, with the friend who backed out...she had an asthma attack this afternoon...often has headaches, etc. when we have plans...
have you called the one who did not show... maybe they forgot
The other is a fairly new/old friend...yes, I called...no answer...
then that might be worrisome
go to their house

Yay !!! jmc
being green is a pain -- the bulbs use less energy but have to be taken to the hazardous waste depot rather than just dropping them in the garbage.
pitter patter pitter patter love is gone what else can matter
*however, I am doing it!
I didn't know they were hazardous waste
those twirly ones are
we're all going to turn green
in the U.S the places that sale the green bulbs are required to take them to recycle
of course they don't tell you that
it isn't easy being green
but it's good
Having to spend each day the color of the leaves
we've been recycling for years but apparently not everyone here does..so now they won't pick up trash unless the bins are out
When I think it could be nicer being red or yellow or gold Or something much more colorful like that
you'd look like a maple tree in Autumn
good for them west
I know too bad it had to come to that
good heavens, jmc -- how do you remember all the lyrics ? -- my memory for them went out the door with the kids!
But green's the color of Spring And green can be cool and friendly-like And green can be big like an ocean Or important like a mountain Or tall like a tree
i remember some and google others cyber
When green is all there is to be It could make you wonder why But why wonder, why wonder? I am green and it'll do fine It's beautiful! And I think it's what I want to be!
I just love Kermit
might as well stay for the flip
