fyi Dr. God is the owner of Babble and he sometimes blocks people from playing if they are bothering the other players.
did anyone call the 9?
yes dee
harp, these creeps know that and just use different names.
rumor has it, te9
ty pini
Yes, it was a te9. I don't have it though
oh dear all these things everyone is saying is simply very hurtful
* sneeze *
oh well who would bother others that is unexceptable tell me who is bothering you and i will do somthing about it..
lol - yes, I already had that one, jill
that's what i figured
still short 10 m's though
I think Harry Potter is going to win over Babble right now-
dee...I think an accompanying te8 goes with it?
It was good to see my Babble friends- Be bakc later
ty pini looking
cya l8r dr
ttfn dr
who's bothering you harp???
Oooh, I so want to see HP but I know theaters will be awful this weekend.
* looking myself *
thank you for the te 9
bye Dr!
saw HP tonight...theaters empty
And it's odd, I don't even like the HP movies much by and large. Advertising works, obviously!
By everyone (( HUGS ) * At Melissa- I saw Deathly Hallows the Sunday before it came out in theaters at the navy base for free
well dear pen they are saying that we are little girls pretending to be old....but i simply wish i was a little girl...i am getting a little rustly in some sertain places
monkeyed the 8-9 combo :)
* Snore*
thx for the te8, 9
wow the theaters didn't have a potter to piss in?
Good to know, Babs. Oh Dr, that is a very cool and well deserved perk for you!
lol ruru!
oh ruru no that is dredfull you must not swear
oh my that is unbeleivable i sure wish i was young and flexible again...
I assume that the te/8 and 9 are not normal words?
thx for the te 8 9 found them!

Very possible, ru...
could be -- laking to itself
hahaha nan
Of all the places in the world to do performance art -- at least out the street someone might throw you a dollar or two.
*talking
cute, melissa! :)
Analysis of style and expression choice would suggest that one is quite possible.
i have quite afew well where do i start...well the oldest is 54 and her name is Emerald then there comes Jamie who is 50 and after him there are twins Jane and Sally who are 46 and after them is Todd who is 43 and then theres Jhonno who is 39 and finally the triplets Michael, Tim and Jenny who are 34.
And subject matter suggests continuity from last night, too.
very much so
* taking aspirin to keep fever down *
I'm not so sure, ruru -- think it is the same sanitation engineers we had last night
ah ha.. I think you are right jan.
what does jan????
Agh, sorry you're ill Pini.

Hope so, but you know how it is--sometimes they get worse at night.
Oh, it's code! Me = dim.

Just teasing pini a bit. ;-)

Sorry Crystalle - I was deep in the grid! And to answer your question....Nope! No sign of a 9 yet. :-)
i thought i had found it but i was wrong lol
I just found an 8, tho....
thats great soodle ....... i seem to be blind to 8 and 9
The one I found is LE 8/40. Spectacles without the glass bit....
ty soodle!!!
Your quite welcome,
Yik. I have to go to work now..... Happy babbling, Crystalle :-) Poof
i found one....it is ma without post
good morning everybody. Shouting hello after soodle......

241 dfm
top u blackened
bottom e and o
hi diz :o) ooh, larger than the last few grids :o)
fens
sorry
not too bad dfm, over half way at the mo, but coming to a standstill.
hello dizgrannie
Hey Ruby!!!
45 words in 9 minutes, very good for me
but all smalls
ty for the f!
whoah never seen my average letter count at 6 before o.o
you are starting with the biggies; I haven't any yet
yeah, two common suffixes :oO
now it's back to a more normal 4.75...
oh derr, just got ai 7, describes me alot when babbling...LOL
ty diz
ty grannie, sounds like me in my studio.....
glad to be of help.
not that i think of u as ai7!
my life!!! hahah
Babbling is totally not ai7! Do:
one of my favorite (obscure) words is in here, fl6 and pl
te8 and its plural te9 - a low outwork in the main ditch between two fortifications. Follow the first double digit number with 'to be sick', then first two letters of the opposite of right (as in direction). Plural for the 9.
dfm, tis not all ai 7, but sure does feel like it sometimes...well to me anyway, but I lurve it...
And good morning/evening all.
hi Haz!
thank you for the complex clue, haz, and good morning to you
Good morning - cold and frosty here.
ty haz, g'mornin to you
our first snow
flense
hello hurshy
hi hurshy :o)
Hello hurshy - up early or late?
damn!!!
that's the word, grannie, for stripping fat off a whale
and plural!
middle? that is too say, i've slept and hope to sleep again some more, and thought babbling might help.
LOL thanx Ruby.
:o/ Babble keeps eating my te5/10
It's quite a nice grid, hurshy, you'll probably enjoy it and hopefully you can get some more sleep.
i've got 22 left...
been enjoying it reasonably well
and very quietly, hurshy!
That's good.
ok has anyone got a less confusing complex clue to for te 8 & 9....
i need layman clues lol!!!
that WAS a layman clue.
me, too, crystalle
hahah
for a layman architectural historian
haz spelled out all the parts!
te, what you have on the end of your fingers and toes (but singular) first two letters of the opposite of right.
think 70's band captain and ________ but stick in an A
You should try me when I'm doing backward Camelot King clues - THAT'S complex!
thank you, haz, phew!!
THanks haz!!!!
You're welcome!
one more for half
um4/7 - when the ballerina has lost her spring

sorry! pb for more coffee and there's leftover pumpkin tart if anybody is interested.....
Morning/evening all!
hi FM!
Good morning, FM.
hello FM!
Hi there! Rather chilly today, birdbath was frozen solid.
snow here, FM, our first for the year
I know, but at least no snow so far.
oh my ruby!
am hoping we are going to miss it this time round.
colder earlier than most years
You guys/gals talking of snow of all things....we had 32C today...bloody hot...LOL
usually, it doesn't get really cold until Dec and sometimes there is barely any snow at all
I would love it, grannie, these old bones could use some sunshine!
lol from one extreme to the other diz.
:o( it's raining ice right now
the one type of winter weather I don't like Do:
hey Ruby, sometimes the heat is toooo much, thankfully we have reversecycle air/con
sounds nasty, dfm, stay warm
I think staying upright when I go outside will be more important!
stay in, then
I don't want to go out
j's vanquished!
I do want to go out but am going to wait for the sun to de ice the car first.
shrop
and as it is still below freezing that might take a while, may end up walking into the village instead.
I'm off, getting punchy!
be careful, FM, especially if there's ice!
It's not so bad ruby :)
I'm going to take a break as well. I'll be back shortly, see you later!
bye haz
Toodles.
*poof*
bye ruby :o)
Good morning, everyone!
Hello, Brookie :-)
Hi zooz! How are you today?
Not too bad, thanks, although rather cold..lol....Hope you are well?
Doing okay. Just jumping on babble for a few minutes before getting some work done. Looks like a good grid today.
Hope you had a good Thanksgiving day yesterday.
The grid is not too bad, have only just started though.
Very good. Went out to eat. The restaurant gave us an obscenely large plate of food. I ate about a fifth of it and took the rest home.
Gotta do some work now. Have a wonderful day, zooz, and keep warm!
Take care, Brookie :-)
GOOD morning everyone, Can anyone clue the 9 or even any of the 8s
Hello, Jiveinjenny :-)
le8 contact le**+ not more
Hi zooz how are you this cold but sunny morning (in Oxford)
Cold here on the isle of wight too..Brrr
ma8 paper oxford ma** + not more
te9 - number before nine, singular portion of what's on the end of your fingers and toes, most of opposite of more. Take away the plural letter for the te8.
ma8 another name for man + not more
Hello, Haz :-)
Number after nine, I beg your pardon
Hello, zooz and Jiving.
Excellent, thanks for those two, Haz!
You're welcome, zooz.
wow!! thanks a lot - got 2 8s, the 9 and a number of other small words that I had missed!!
Good for you, Jiving!
wonder why the te8 has a define but not the plural.
I looked up the singular, assumed the plural.
The Cricket competition between England and Australia features in a lot of words. (sn7)
oops the m8 clue i gave at 5:21 should send me to the PB..sorry aabout that, did not realize at the time that was a word also..lol
yes found those two earlier..lol
ma6, le7 are other examples.
ma6 potato yum yum..lol
just found another ma6 that is very similar.
'Fore!'
Hello Haz & Zooz
I'm back for a bit. Hi again, zooz! Hi haz!
And hi lynxxx!
Hello, lynxxx, how are you? And Brookie, as well.
hey Brookie!
Hello, Lynxxx :-)
WB Brookie :-)
Very well and happy. My first lot of upholstery fabric arrived from the States - and it is perfect!
Excellent!
What is the fabric for, lynxxx?
How is Spangles?
She's much better, thanks, lynxxx.
clue for the bottom u - for 100 words please
Having a couple of club chairs and ottomans reupholstered Brookie. If you or friends ever need upholstery or curtain fabric, look at Glamorous Fabrics - every few weeks they drop the prices insanely
Good tip, thanks!
slang for the guys that wear black/white stripes shirts in baseball games
Jiving, take the first letter away from what Mick Jagger's Jack Flash does. (um4)
Jiving, thing of a sports referree
slang - abbreviation
thanks a lot
I have 100 words and am really struggling now
I'm in the same boat, Jiving! :-) (103 words and slowing down drastically.)
down to 87 at the mo.
thats why we are blessed with Morewords and Lickety
84 here - catch me if you can Zooz!
(Wondering if lynxxx is trying for the morewords commission)
Hold on a minute. I've been on babble since 2007, and this is my first time hearing about Morewords. Yikes!
nah too much competition Haz
Where have you been?
I have never used Morewords.
what! Morewords is great!
Head in sand, that's where.
oops my nose just got longer..lol
You're obviously babbling at the wrong time, Brookie.
I use Morewords before Lickety - every day
OMG, I just checked out the website. That's awesome!
When you can't find a word, and you don't want to ask for a lcue, either www.morewords.com or a2zwordfinder.com are very useful.
Glamorous Fabrics or Morewords?
a2z???? Another one? This is more than my mind can handle.
lol
lynxx, you can have the Glam fabrics commission if I can stick with the morewords kickback.
Morewords is my favourite, I must admit.
Poor Brookie. There you were thinking we had amazing vocabs and all the while morewords is at our back.
hehe
This is just rocking my world a bit too much.
I'm trying to think of any other outrages in babble you might not know about.
It's like I've been living a lie.
Maybe we should have let you live with the illusion a little longer.
You know about Santa, don't you?
LOL
Oh yes, Santa! I've already mailed my list to him.
He LOVES babble, but doesn't chat often.
are the japanese immigrants in this grid?
(You're very funny, Haz!)
No, they're not, lynxxx.
TY
93 left, am i catching you yet, Lynxxx :-)
I like a laugh, Brookie.
You made me laugh out loud. Fortunately, my kiddos didn't hear it and are still sleeping.
I have found 11 in the last few minutes and they are ALL ones I should have found 1st time round!!
hang on - you were 87 before...is Babble eating your words?
LOL, sorry 67
and just found the el6 little pointy eared people.
way way way ahead of me!
At 118 words. Once I get halfway through, I allow myself to use Lickety. Almost there!
You need to pick up the pace, lynxxx.
2 glasses of wine - not going to happen Haz
Thanks for the el6 clue!
yw :-)
Yeah, now I can use Lickety!
And morewords - this will revolutionise your life, Brookie.
Revolution would be nice.
Anyway, I must leave again. zooz will be trying to zoom, Brookie will be spinning like a top with the wonderment of morewords and lynxxx... See you later!
not seen the fl6/27 word before..and the define is just horrible.
take care, Haz :-)
yes
*gone*
bye Haz
See you, haz! Say hi to Santa for me!
Zooz, clue for the fl6?
the define is, to strip off the blubber from a whale or se4
fl6/27 fl + relax you are looking too t***
Does the word start with the synonym for biological tissue?
Got it, thanks!
don`t forget to plural.
Did it, thanks.
So, what feature on morewords does everyone use the most?
when i use it i just put the first two letters followed by a dash for the amount of letters i need for the word..thats it.
If I have a probable start - say 3 letters - I will search using those on 4/5/6/7/8 letter words etc
Thanks - that's very helpful!
I think I am kidding myself that I will find more words. You win Zooz! Goodnight, off to bed zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
We will call it a draw, Lynxxx :-)....sweet dreams.
ok 42 more to find, taking a long break, will be back later take care, Brookie & All stealth Babblers.
one out...and one in. Hi 8)
Hi, thanks for all your help this morning, I have to go, will probably be back later

Morning all. I think it's appropriate that sh4/6 is in the grid today. It's a big day for that here in the good old US of A.
that was my 1st word.
Yay Gram!

Grant is doing one of those MinYork stories with clues in it. Very clever Grant.
too much coffee is all
Good morning (afternoon, evening) everyone!
Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving.
Hi TNana, hope you had a nice Thanksgiving as well. Ours was lovely.
Ours is later today, so more could make it.
We did. Went out to a restaurant, but they have fantastic Thanksgiving spreads.
That's okay, grant, that's more important than which day you celebrate it.
Hope so.
I'm Back and I'm needy. Help, please w/fl 6 and 7?

I know Peri. I looked for so many other combinations before I went DOH!
phantom upshot?
a person who refs a baseball game is an u**, pl.

very good clue
clue for the le8?
nm - got it
anyone have the 9 yet?
te8+9
(morning <insert list of chatters here> :o) )
te9 - number before nine, singular portion of what's on the end of your fingers and toes, most of opposite of more. Take away the plural letter for the te8.
#Number after nine, sorry
zooz counts funny! ;oP
Clue courtesy of , Haz :-)
Dan, great clue for the ma8.
Hello, DFM :-)
great clue nonetheless, ty

:o< Babble eats my te5 whenever I switch computers
good morning everyone
Hello ((MoM))
good morning, Mom :o)
((dfmchfhf)) good morning
((Zoozz)) good afternoon
Hope you had a great thanksgiving :-)
it was delightful, thank you
do you have Thanksgiving?
No we don`t , Mom, but i had turkey yesterday anyway..lol
I wasn't sure. Glad you had turkey :-)
it is so quiet here, everyone must be out shopping :-)
Not long now, i did mine a couple of weeks ago.
Pre-blanked tilese are U on top, E and O on bottom?
**sigh** Christmas is going to stink this year, the boys just want money
<-- at work, can't be shopping! :oO
Thats correct, DFM.
yes dfm
sure you can dfm, online shopping :-)
I will have to rank my brain for something for them, they have to something under the tree to open
Thats a shame, Mom. Most teenagers just want money instead of presents.
oh Zoozz, they are 22 and 26.
the 26 year old is getting married next June and the 22 year old is graduating college on the 18th of Dec.
When my daughter wanted only money for Christmas, she always had a few small gifts, from the pets (and her much;loved Panda).
morning Christine.
Good Morning Babblers :)
Morning, all
Santa will bring 3 presents, will have to start talking to him and soon!
good morning ((Nono)) and mside
Mom, give them the money but also buy some small frivolous things that they can laugh at
will do, Nono, thanks
Hello, Christine,Msideb & Nono.
Good morning, all
Are we at last troll free this morning?
oh dear, did we have a troll today then?
goodness, I havent encountered a troll in quite some time
oh man! I missed the troll
We had several yesterday, one of whom was very persistent. I've never seen the patience of Babblers tried so much.
**note to self** review yesterday's chat log :-)
Hello all!
glad I wasnt here at the time
hi Ninnie
lol nono
good morning Nonnie
that was nothing, msideb!
Hello, Nonnie.
good afternoon Ata, how are you?
coooold
ohhhh, sorry to hear that
I haven't been playing that long, but it was the worst I've seen yet. Let's just hope it's over and done with... smoother Babbling today I hope!
I take it Dr. God snuffed them out
they were really more amusing than nasty
with schools on thanksgiving break here in the states it might persist for a day or two
they are funny
I seem to learn new words from a lot of them
what is a troll?
I saw some of that troll crap last night. I had to leave it to those with more patience than I. I have no tolerance for people like that.
Was that Alice and OMG?
and by the way, I know quite a few people who use the big te words, so they aren't completely hopeless
TNana, people on chat forums refer to troublemakers as trolls. People who log on just to be annoying or break the rules.
Hi Trentsnana, ((Molly))
Molly, when the trolls get really bad I just make my window smaller so i dont have to see the chog
Hi Mom - oh, okay Molly, thnx
I do the same, nono.
I only saw one yesterday - kept typing RAZZFART or something like that...
Great idea Nono, thanks.
Loved it when Nutty was playing Babble, she had a lot of fun with the trolls
it's fun poking the trolls
you need really good ones though to have most fun
yes nutty was good with the trolls, she makes us all laugh and gasp :)
I remember one group of trolls, their teacher let them use class time to play, they were especially obnoxious
yes!
oh Ata, you remember that group also
I remember them also...hello everyone
ohhhh yes
hi Annie
hi Nono
hello annie, I remember them too
(((Annie))) good morning, how was your Thanksgiving?
Morning Annie
Hope you all had a nice Thanksgiving...My day was very nice....hi Molly
it was delightful, Annie
((Mom))) glad to hear that
We're celebrating today.
You know who is in the grid a lot? That famous photographer whose last name is Adams. I think I try his name every time too. Duh.
Have an enjoyable day Nonnie
Ours was lovely as well, we out out to dinner so I didnt have to cook! it was great
anselm
ah Molly, so it is
Thank you, Mom. I am looking forward to a good time with family.
Ansel
Oh nono...those are the best kind!
excellent idea Nono
Hi Ata, I spelt his name wrong
for sure Nonnie, and it was alovely buffet with turkey, ham, prime rib and salmon along with all the other trimmings. Something to satisfy everyone
dad keeps wanting to do that, but it would cost him a fortune to take all of us out and I don't mind the cooking
oh nono, sounds like a feast
Sounds wonderfully delicious, nono. I wish we had something like that close by and I would suggest it to the family.
Hello all! Soundls like a good time was had by many babblers yesterday :)
hello fm!
FM!!!
Hello FMitch!
Hi FM!
Ata!!!!!!!!!!! and hello Mom and Nonnie and Annie et al
Nonnie check with local hotel/motels. This one was at a Hilton Garden Motel and there was another at a holiday inn near by
hi FM
Ata, it is so cold
The HIlton puts on a nice spread
Thanks for the info, nono. I will have to check into that for next year.
The Hilton Garden Inn makes the nicest brunches
Got fed up trying to keep the birdbath un iced today. Hello Nono!
Oh FMitch, that is cold
:o/ I le4 the chat for a few minutes and suddenly it's this full?
Nothing like some of the temps you US people experience but we did just manage to get over freezing today.
(hello everyone that I missed greeting :o) )
hello dfm
hi dfm
hi dfm
it's just barely below zero (Celsius) today -- the worst temperature, it melts the snow and turns it into ice...
what makes me smile is that regardle4 of the temp the birds were still bathing/splashing about in it. Hi dfm.
I have a hard time "not cooking" on holidays. The few times we have been invited for Thanksgiving, I did a turkey breast and small amounts of sides so we would have leftovers. Because the turkey sandwich the day after Thanksgiving is what it's all about. : D
Amen, Molly!
lol Molly, same applies for us at Christmas.
counting the time until lunch
I will miss that Molly but then again I really dont need it
<-- family never quite figured out how to make turkey taste good, doesn't understand all this talk about turkey :o(
Oh indeed. The roast beef sandwich the day after Christmas is awesome.
drooooool, roast beef sandwich!
I have been brining my turkey the past few years. I will never fix a turkey any other way.
Yes, the le**overs are the best part of all the work the day before.
love open face roast beef sandwiches
love roast beef in any form really :)
:o( I'm not gonna be home until after Christmas this year... *sniffle*
dfmch, get a Honeysuckle turkey with a pop up timer, they are delicious and so moist
sorry to hear that, dfm
where are you now, dfm? (hugs))
Ottawa
I know you are in Canada, do you also live someplace el** in Canada
yes, I'm only up here for a co-op term... usually live a bit closer to Toronto.
co-op ... for college?
University (Canada distinguishes between University and College... university is more academically oriented, college is more jobplace oriented)
I guess I better get moving since family is headed this way and I need to get a bird in the oven. Take care all and hope to see you good people later.
((Nonnie)) have a wonderful day
bye nonnie :o)
Nonnie, Enjoy your Thanksgiving Day
ah, I see. What is your major?
bye nonnie, enjoy your day with family
Bye Nonie have a lovely day.
CS / Pure Mathematics
mom, off the the PB
woo hoo, I didn't have that one. gladly goes to the PB
and pl it too
:)
how neat dfm
thanks FMitch
Mom...pssst...Mom...there are turkey sandwich fixin's in the PB. Complete with homemade cranberry sauce.
**while in PB, lays out linen tablecloth**
<-- wants to enter the PB now...
sets out Molly's food, and I will put out pecan and pumpkin pie and cheesecake
would put out apple pie but youngest son took it home with him :-)
*Passing Mom the apple pie*
I must be on my way...bye dear babblers
thanks Molly
bye bye ((Annie)) have a good day
bye annie :o)
Vanilla ice cream is in the freezer. Sharp cheddar in the fridge for those types that like that apple pie/cheddar combo, like my Mom.
Bye Annie, have a good day.
Byeee Annie
thanks for the ice cream
bye annie
hmmm better put a microwave in the PB to heat the leftovers
I must go too. Happy babbling everyone
You are making it hard for me to leave...all this talk of good food but I must...*poof*
There is one in there already and an oven too Mom
oh good
thanks FMitch
The drinks cabinet is stocked and there are plenty of soft drinks too.
you have thought of everything FM
bye nono :o)
and as it is a special occasion the cabana boys are all dressed up and ready to fetch and carry.
bye bye ((Nono))
won't tell sweetie about the cabana boys
:)
The PB is bound to have a lot of traffic, as the grid has several Black Friday references to trip people up. Grant pointed that out this morning.
oh yes, sh**
ah yes of course there is a lot of s4ing going on today
And there are sa5/10 at all the ma5/12
well, I had better be on my way as well. Going on 10:30 a.m. and here I sit in my pj's
see you all later today. ((Hugs)) to all of you
Mom! PJs at 10:30 rules!!!
bye Mom :o)
and of course ma4/5 mayhem everywhere
3.30 in the afternoon here but not in PJ's. Bye Mom
bye bye ((dfmch)) and ((Molly))
bye bye FMitch, thanks for providing the cabana boys
yvw ;)
:-)
:o/ I've never been this stuck on a grid so early before
There is little flow to the words but free association and blind typing worked for me.
Sometimes when I look at the grid sideways it helps. : P
ju5's into the grid. hello everyone
Fatoosh! Lile is here. Hi Lile.
Hi Lile!
:D
looking at the grid sideways doesn't work for me, my brain has this annoying habit of rotating/flipping things until they are right-way up.
lile is a phantom in the grid today.
Hi Lile.
It took me about nine days to be able to distinguish between schwa and the letter e...
the rest of the li's are hiding... :(
lol dfm
I love the word schwa. It has a lovely sound.
My oldest son is in the grid. Irish spelling of John.
We almost have Seamus in there too.
I've tried that name thousands of times, but the grid won't give in
Seamus was the dog *sings*
It's wacky because some names work. ja4/9 for example.
Thought yr keyboard must have frozen up Ata :)
indeed - and lots of her works too...
Enable is so silly...
just doing 10 things at once
Ata, grow a few more hands, that'll help!
another babbler is in the grid jo4/10 and Tarzans companion is valid too.
Ever notice how women are so good at multi-tasking and men seem to struggle with it?
multi tasking again ata! :)
Only 10 things? Are you on a go slow? *grin*
but the jo4 is an actual word!
ja is a girl or woman. not so much the proper na**
True dfm, I think if that more as the action than the name.
<-- is good at multitasking... :o/
I'm baking christmas cake, analysing questionnaires, painting, babbling and starting an assignment. and laughing at sily
finished if I can help for a few minutes I will.
and reading two books at once o.0 silly but fun to do...
Speaking of names, it was recently pointed out to me that I could have picked a most excellent name for one of my boys. Jameson. What a cool first name that is.
gosh and I am just sitting here enjoying chatting I feel so lazy!
FM, did you hear that Bernard Matthews died? Actually on Thanksgiving!!
Jame's son? :oO
I'm quite busy procrastinating
No! really?
sa's at the ma**?
Nope, Jameson. Like the Irish whiskey.
Realy! What timing!
Only problem is, he would end up being called Jamie.
bichon, is that a real question?
the turkeys finally got their vengence.
He must have been a good age tho
80
oh I thought he was older than that.
yes, gramma. Some said there were sa 5/10 at the ma**
Who was he?
I thought Bich was cluing. sa's at the ma4. Everything for le4
just giggling madly at the timing!
ma is the large indoor merchandising place
Owned the biggest (I think) turkey 'farm' mass production place in England.
okay, thought it meant Santas <lol>
Hallo all. Uhuh, just seen the size of the grid and haven't started yet :-(
BRB
Babbler al4... and a bunch of him...
The first hundred or so are a snap. Lots of esses
Sally, It's fast and fun
Bernard Matthews brought turkey to English tables, basically
That's what I like to hear :-)
hi sally :o)
God bless Bernard Matthews
Hi dfm, Still not pro?
al 6?
<-- has been stuck at around 70 to go for a while now... :o(
Lots of names in the grid. Mr. Joyce and Ms. Jackson.
See you all tomorrow. Enjoy!
not yet... still waiting for the location of me and my credit card to coincide...
Have you lost it? Try looking down the side of the settee.
might have a chance tonight, gonna be going back home! (5 hour car ride though... >.<)
no, never had one yet... getting it sent to my home home, not up here in Ottawa though...

What is IRC?
IRC. ugh.
Inverted Rough Calculations? INternational Red Cod?
Internet Relay Chat
a form of instant messenger
Irrational Remote Customers?
IRC is a protocol, not a form of IM ;oP
Ahh OK

Shirlock - have you got the te6/18
yep, have the te6
OK double the last letter and add a vowel
and then pl for the 9
Hoping you have the right te6/18.
aha, thought it was an extension, but didn't add the extra stick
thx Fmitch
you're welcome
lol! to keep our indoor kitties active we invented a game where we take some cat treats and a pinch or 2 of cat nip and put them in a empty tissue box as a toy/reward thing..well the cats are now stoned and this tissue box is flying back and forth through the air like a soccer ball! and both kitties have catnip dandruff on their foreheads;))
and it is nice to see you Shirlock, haven't seen you for a long time.
hi crossy :o)
howdy dfm
((fm))
hi shirlock!
LOL crossy (()). Ata took a brill vid of her cat with a catnip mat - had me in stitches.
about an hour ago, sily woke herself up somehow, she jumped about a foot in the air - literally - turned round then stared at me with huge eyes
i've been on/off and hiding :)
She must have been dreaming
happy post-turkey everyone, trying to decide if i really need to eat ...
88 left going to eat something sweet
must have been :) silly kit :)
hi all how many words today please
perhaps a little morsel or two just to test the appetite Shirlock? 241 sandra
thanks
thats why i am happy we have ours in the second week of october shirlokc i have come to the last of the turkey leftovers in the freezer by now:)
had my first actual american thxgiving dinner yesterday
heya crossy
gah! my imaginary childhood adversary is in the grid
turkey,casserole,turkey soup,turkey pies,creamed turkey,turkey jerky,turkey sausages....and on and on
howdy jacq
my first actual invite since i've been here since '97
Sorry, was afk for a moment. Thanks FM for the te 6/8/9
turkey vodka?
<-- has had no turkey for... umm... six years?
naw,the turkey does not drink
yw Sally.
lol
LOL
So do Americans eat the full turkey dinner on the fourth Thursday in November, and then repeat the whole process a month later?
why is today called black friday?
Depends. Some people do Ham for Christmas, some do other things. Personally, yes... again in a month!
I believe that Thanksgiving is a bigger deal than Christmas or at least that is what I've been told by US people working over here.
it is a day when all americans go bankrupt buying stuff at wal-mart on sale lol
Called black friday because this is the day companies tend to go "into the black" or become profitable each year.
ahhhhhhhhhhh
and that is crossy off to the PB
i wondered if it was linked to the great depression or something
ty
As far as turkey goes, Thanksgiving is the day to end all days, indeed, to the turkeys it's the turkeypocalypse.
It might be depressing... :p
crossy do that again with some 8 letter words please
and being in debt is into the red bash my dear
im still trying to find what i said:/
lol msideb
so for the stores it's black friday and for the customers it's red friday
you spoke about discounts in stores
LOL! That's right!
good cheap xmas pressies though
the day for having walmart frenzies and buying shit you don't need at low prices
lol,cannot find what i said that was pb worthy
back to the consumerism mentality
sa4/4 dear
alll ty:)
Well I guess you have to work off all that food somehow by rushing around and looking for bargains.
i never go to the shops for the start of the january sa4s i hate crowds and get really claustrophobic
I never have any money left for the January sa***...
shes
It used to be that the sa5 were only once a year but now they are all the time.
it's the same with the xmas food shopping rush, the sh4s are closed for one day
we are too deep in a recession to go shopping mad up here,of late we have set it up so everyone gets a single special gift and then a donation is made to a worthy charity of their choice all within a strict budget
"50% off every day!"
ok, slap me silly, been a while since I typed in the wrong box. Sorry.
Good chice crossy.
join me in the pb bash
i remember an expose in the papers that the 1/2 price goods were in fact over inflated prior to the reduction and were actually being sold overpriced even with the 50% off
We don't buy presents at all, except for little grandson, and usually a subscription (like a year at Kew) for son. Not even for each other. Takes all the angst out!
:)
that is a common practice jacq
i buy small well considered gifts, i make sure it's something they will use
yes it is crossy, and since i don't trust business anyway i don't get caught in the frenzy
I buy what I need when I can afford to pay for it. No debt or credit cards here.
businesses
yes a well thought out small gift is much better than a large one on the spur of the moment
same here FM, living costs more than enough anyway without being stupid with money you don't have
I know some people think we are sad creatures, but it is a tremendous feeling of relief not to be caught in this Christmas spending spree.
i agree sally, my grand-daughters will get the most, i am buying their party dresses and shoes to take the pressure off their parents
can't pay me to go out on black friday
Totally agree Sally and none of that leaping round the sh5 at the last min in total panic.
i use debit card,since i must have a chequeing acct anyways i set it up so all my bak drafts,money orders,new cheques and a debit card i can use transaction fee free round the world costs me 9 dollars a month
the only thing i really need at xmas is the lamb, everything else i have in the kitchen anyway
hello. I have a few minutes to play while leftovers are heating up
You eat lamp at Christmas jacq? We have done that in the past, it is one of our favourites.
lol,i have not had lamb or goose or duck since i was a small boy
Lamb I am jealous and here we are full circle back to the infamous turkey of which i am not fond.
PB< Sally!
horrid turkey
Hi ruby!
{{ruby}}!
we will often do a nice smoked ham with all the trimmings instead
Since it has been snowing a little today, I emptied the butchers and have a freezer full now including a joint of lamb. Hey, it was a typo Ata!
Good day, mates!
((ruby)
Nothing wrong with turkey and I can cook them v well but there are so many much more interesting things to eat.
i love lamb, could eat it every day but am too health conscious
mmm... roast la4...
and it is so expensive jacq
hi Scrabbler :o)
not a remotely good excuse, Sally :P
scrabbs;))
Actually, we do like turkey, and get one from a local farm.
Scrabbler!!! I was thinking about you this morning, how are you?
SCRABBS!!
xmas in the past has seen lamb, poultry and ham on the table with all the trimmings for each, and boxing day sees a huge buffet with the leftovers
*Sulks from PB*. *oooh, finds hidden chocolate brownies**
dfmchfhf, hello, and what is a proper nickname for you?
heya scrabbler
was thinking of you earlier, scrabs, I took a photo for you ...
My eye is healing. The optic disc hemorrhage is gone and no further tearing occurred. I was given permission for "light" exercise.
Sally I will smack your legs , be happy in the PB as the cabana boys are in there somewhere.
Of what, Ata?
Oh good news Scrabs!
good morning, good morning...
let me upload it :)
awwww...crap! this is specifically for where i live.... http://www.theweathernetwork.com/alert s/wwcaon0005c/caon0158/weather?ref=war nings_citypage
Too cold for cabana boys FM.
i am glad your eye is healing well scrabby
we had capon yesterday which was wonderful! French turkeys are scrawqny little things and to get a decent-sized one, you have to go to Geneva and pay a fortune.
My vision is still annoyingly blurry --left eye, lateral field of vision.
uh oh crossy
BRB must go and turn the heating down. They are dressed appropriatly Sally - I have to give them something to do off season.
Are you open, Cross?
how are the cabana boys at cleaning closets and cupboards?
It has been snowing here all morning and is quite pretty outside.
what happened to your eye, scrabs? Husband has a big history of eye problems.
wrap up warm crossy and be careful please
sorry scrabbler, alt+tab'd away for a few seconds most shorten my na4 to 'dfm', but I've seen 'df', 'dfmc', and a lot more... :o) I don't mind any
we had our first snow today, but it's only enough to make things very pretty but dangerous
I laughed in the butchers today. There were four burley men (be still, my beating heart) all wearing fetching Norwegian-style woolly hats with pom poms hanging down from the ear flaps. It WAS very cold.
POsterior vitreous detachment and optic disc hemorrhage--began abruptly on Nov 3.
TY, df
i go in this afternoon to do the evening shift and close the station..may not make it home though lol
Good morning all!
heya jilly
hi jilly! :o)
he has had cataracts, secondary cataracts, a detached retina, blocked tearducts, glaucoma, and a detached retina
did a event cause this scrabbs or was it just a random thing?
Scrabs, will it heal itself?
can you sleep at the station if need be? if so take a sleeping bag etc
Goodness ruby!
Hi Jilly
Wow, ruby, I'd sure call those eye problems
Scrabs, nice to hear you are healng!! ((hugs))
i can jacq..do not worry bout ole crossy
That's all scary stuff, ruby.
{{bichon}}
horrible history but he can still see enough to drive (sort of - aaarghhh)
Can occur with aging and is more common in people with myopia (we have elongated eyeballs)
ahh
Sally, PLEASE give those rugged men my name and have them find me on Facebook!
Ya jaqc....crossy is used to cold....ice on the tolilet and all!!
his ophthalmologist is in Lausanne and we go for his semi-annual next Thursday. I am scared to have him drive, but after all he's been through this year, it is hard to say so
true jilly
lol jilly
lol Scrabs.
oh ruby...the driving part is scary...
I'm in a terrible quandary!
He SHOULD NOT drive if he is visually impaired. Please go in a separate car, ruby.
yes,cold is one thing..foot and a half of sonw on the road with whiteouts and lake effect crap is quite another..cold is nothing
Sally, rugged, burley, manly men--be still MY heart!
I will try to hire a driver. He won't let me drive him
indeed ruby
ruby maybe if you point out that he has had a stressful year, and if he has a small prang insurance may not cover him with an eye defect etc
he is so fragile now since the dog affair
we do not want to lose our ruby tuesday in a car crash
Good thinking jacq.
I agree, Cross.
we had a crash 2 1/2 years ago because he fell asleep at the wheel; he didn't even know what happened but my sternum was fractured by the airbag
He had an accident once before didn't he ruby? Or am I being indiscreet? In which case everyone else look away.
check your FB, Scrabs :)
ouch!!!!!
good lord!
Ruby!!
I need for crossy to shake some se*** into him!
Oh, no, Ruby! That is a painful injury!
he sounds as stubborn as my Mom ruby
ruby tell him how exhausting the drive will be and point out how relaxed he will be with another driver
and it never completely heals
no it doesn't
thanks ruby...needed that one...
why doesn't ever completely heal ruby?
because it can't ever be fully rested
because of some combination of cartilege and bone, I think, but I still have pain sometimes
just breathing normally affects the he4ing
hello all...can someone clue the se6,18 for me on this gray day in Maryland
Talking of FB, did you all see the link I posted (yesterday?_ about /that/ engagement :-)) <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vIgdnl OSlps>
fl6?
I use a wheelchair when I travel by plane, for the airports, because the long walks are impossible
se6 is gadget that does the se5
TY, Atalante!
fl6, taking the fat off a whale
se6/18 motion se****, heat se**** are all security gadgets
Scrabs, what is your facebook name?
thx all!

oooo my christmas cake should be baked soon

ty FMitch
Ruby, I tried flubber first
this is the first time my name is in the grid, ne6/18
hahah, scrabs
I thought of you when I found it this morning roby :)
{{FM}}
and aceepted!
I had better go and serve dinner or they'll all die of starvation.....
and if there was an s you could pl yourself.
Nice chatting ruby...will keep you an hubby in my thoughts and prayers!
And if there was a Y I would be there.
a friend found some nice fossils for husband at a local auction! I'm all set for our anniversary and for Christmas
a friend found some nice fossils for husband at a local auction! I'm all set for our anniversary and for Christmas
thank you jilly jill
what just happened?
*poof*
You stuttered, Ruby
you must have pl yourself :)
ruby i found some amazing fossils in north wales, one that was a seahorse, embedded in the stones used for drystane garden walls
It's high noon here and I am still in my pjs
but hubby got annoyed when i asked the homeowner if i could take a rubbing and the man said i could chip out, so i didn't even get a rubbing of it
Very cool, jacq!
me 2 scrabs
scrabbler it's 5 pm here and i am in my jammies, it's too cold to go change and i feel poopie anyway
Chip out = leave the premises vs chisel out the fossil?
Yay for the Pajama Girls!!
<-- is sometimes in his pjs even well in the afternoon during holidays/weekends...
yes scrabbler, i wouldn't have removed it, if i had there would have been no provenance, but i did want a rubbing
Meanie was he, jacq!!
he was a pig
thats why he's an ex
lol
It's been snowing for 4 hrs. I could go for a hike, or exercise in the basement, but I am being a slug.
The homeowner was your ex, jacq?
4 day weekend for me :) I am taking it slow, still in robe...
no, the homeowner was a dear old thing, my ex was the pig lol
Has anyone read "The Thirteenth Tale?" I am loving it!
wtg jilly
my ex got annoyed because i was interested in something other than golfing with him
I see, Jacq. I needed to know who exactly was the pig.
golf zzzzzzzz
i don't play golf, i was his caddy 9in his eyes only)
ohh, you should golf here, beautiful course on the river with wildlife and mountains...
not that I do it regularily
me neither although I did enjoy waling round a golf course with an ex on a lovely summers day but that was enough.
I enjoy walking around golf course, the ones with beautiful terrains and trees, but I find golfing so frustrating.
I never managed to get off the driving range , am rubbish and know my limitations.
i tried golfing for a year and must agree with my friend samuel clemmons i saying"gold is a good walk spoiled"
golf
So true, Crossy.
speaking of which march was the 100th anniversary of twains death and his autobiography has now been published.i look forward to reading it
el6/30 please?
it is in 3 parts and the first part is at book stores now
el6 = el + tartar sauce course

Cross, I'm looking forward to reading Twain's autobiography.
pini: you wander around ai*****ly
yup at his death he had it sealed and placed in the care of a university near him not to be opened till now
thx jilly
*redeemed*
am trying to decide whether to get nieces and nephews what they want (random stuff) or a charity gift
* smile *
BBC Radio 4 had a week of readings from the Twain Autobiography. Really wonderful -- may still be around there...
spilt the difference like i do,small thoughtful gift and a charity
By the way folks, since there are so many "easy to forget about and chat with" words in the grid today, Mom and I stocked the PB with Thanksgiving leftovers.
I am back--had to swallow handful of daily meds. I should have taken them a few hrs ago.
I dpn't really know them well enough to get something small and personal though
And I had to get my power cord because the laptop battery was almost dead.
be back later have fun and fireworks everyone
Bye & congrats Jacq!
There's a nice wish, jac q
I must be off too for a while, work is demanding my attention.
I think it's hard to buy for kids when you don't know what they already have. I do a lot of personalized gifts for my great niece since she has so many uncles buying her toys.
Meanwhile, help on the first Sa5,10 please?
bye jacq
sod it, they are having help injured dogs presents. They all love dogs
I'm guessing the first sa5/10 isn't a pl., is it?
hi dfm...don't have it yet, looking
1.sa5/10 evergreen shrub
(thanks erda)

Hi Pini

s + tra ** ** (backwards)
TY, Pini!
Thank you ever so much, Pini!!
It's nice to chat here. I have had no voice for 2 days from this illness.
sorry to hear that scrabs!
hope it gets better soon ;)
no voice? Do:
It's really nice to chat with you again too scrabs
Probably only grows in the lower forests of the Phillipines...
*squeak* *raspy*
*pours a cup of echinacea tea for scrabs*
The sore throat is gone at least.
I just spilled a cup of chamomile tea on me!
* tosses cold water to offset *
spilling tea on oneself isn't fun :o(
(and guess who just also spilt tea?)
hello? are any peeps here?
no lil, nobody is here...
hiya lil*
OK , bye
* tossing more cold water *
Hi lil*monkey!
LIL*
Do: don't leave us!

hi di
I love watching bunnies' butts from behind when they are hopping.
hi Pini :-)
hi diane! :o)
i prefer watching their noses, scrabs ;)

Their noses sure are cute!
dfm....you really should go pro...we love having you around...

:-) see... I didn't even know you were a Canuck !! eh ?
I'm waiting for my credit card :o( and then also for me to go home to fetch it when it arrives...
df, our Buffalo Sabres usually have trouble with your Senators!
:o) Ottawa is only my temp address, I usually live quite a bit closer to Toronto...
Our Oilers finally won a game last night !!
Aha, well Maple Leaf fans inundate Bflo when the Leafs come here to play.
<-- barely knows anything about sports... almost failed PE in high school...
Well, 115 left & coffee finished....must toddle off to get something done (like getting dressed!!) bbl and happy babbling all!
Scrabbler, can't stop but just want to say hello and nice to see you back.
I love this grid.... just took a few minutes to look at the grid, and then started typing in words at random, that I know...and MOST of them are there... fun !!
Bye Jilly
see you later, Jilly
bye jilly
happy post turkey coma day, all!
Hi Hazel! I thought of you this morning when CNN was speaking to a mother & daughter from Ireland. They came over for our "Black Friday" shopping weekend!

Goodness, they must be keen shoppers to do that!
Did they get many bargains?
I'll find out later, must get dinner served. Bye for now!

((Ruru))--I have missed you!
Hi to my fellow babblers! How is everyone doing today

By the way, congratulations to all the finishers! YAY!
Hi Min

Hi crosshair! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid
lol,not yet,but it is coming fast

Is the ski resort open yet?
after today and a bit of grooming over the nest 2 days they will be
We are to have a foot of snow by tomorrow PM
next
I'll take some of the snow off your hands...if need be ;)

too cute, ru...and you're south of me...why didn't he pause up here for a bit?
centralised and no accounting for integrated coastal management
i will be sure to give them heck for you ata
Ruru, I haven't heard of a blizzard in southern Califormia!
;) am reading about Vancouver port systems for an assignment
all those westerners..what can i tell you:)
* side note: my cold cleared right up after logging out last night *
So, Ata, get things fixed for coastal management
think some Canadians will have to take on that one!
it is all that suntan cotion drifting up from california....
Why are so many mediocre or even incompetent people in positions of importance??
lotion
Rururocks is north of So.Cal - but it is coolish here, lower 40s last night
My cousin & his wife recently moved to the San Jose area.
no.. its just 25 degrees up here.. but pretty cold
it is the same as anywhere else scrabbs people who do not have a clue,get these positions by inter-office hiring,they just hire family regardless of experience or qualifications
are they working in silicon valley scrabs?

Hi everyone :-)
i once almost had a spot with canada post,but was told due ti hiring policys,they had to fill that slot with a minority or some other 10% quota worty unlike myself
Yes, it is so sad, Crossy!
Hi Blue
Eumoirous.
hi Blue :o)
oh hey crossy - yesterday there was a tween in the chat who kept asking annoying questions but was quite gullible. so i made up a bunch of stories about people to amuse myself
so if anyone mentions that you are 102 and live in antarctica, that's where they got it
another one, LA?
lol,leslie,yes i remember that tween
hi Kap, leslie :o)
who was it? o.o
lol ok leslie,it is eating yougurt that got me to 102
no the same one :) also feather has 12 children
i had to give up cigars at 90:((
you mean, the chicken?
hahaha LA, too funny
go Leslie :)
oh and ruru ate an entire turducken by himself yesterday
wonder why i had to give them up?...it,s not that they would shorten my life span....
Haha, Leslie!
I saw an ad for a t-shirt -- a Capitol building, with the inscription "never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups"
did not leslies
nice one, christine
haha sorry ru
had chicken
scrabb? if i make it to 103,can i have my cigars again?
what's the point of Thanksgiving if that is a diet month for me
close crossie ...but no cigar
Did anyone see that YouTube of the five birds and bacon inside a pig? Oh dear God.
missed that one, molly
We are celebrating T'day today. Yesterday, my daughter and her family went to her in-laws.
a pig stuffed with five birds and bacon??...pull some birds out and add more bacon;)
Here is link to the video...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v =7Xc5wIpUenQ
crossy, lat weeks NY Times Sunday Magazine had an article about a high bacon diet
A young boy has severe epilepsy [petit mal] and is greatly helped by a high fat, low carb diet
mm interesting
Scrabs did you hear about that diet
that's all you need crossie is epilespsy
Ketogenic diet--is tried for uncontrollable seizures in kids, although there are several newer, safer meds available for kids
This poor boy was having a whole lot of epilepsy spells per day; medicine didn't help
Crossy, no cigars!
molly, can't get it using the link...what's the title so I can do search?
I did read that article a few days ago
i think i shall keep the bacon as a treat only for now as i am way overdue for a lipid test,my colesterol checked and i am told i should have a stress test now
crossy, do you take a statin. Lipitor has worked wonders for me
But, I stay away from animal fats as much as I can
that would be nice bichon,but there are things i can do in my own diet and lifestyle i think before i add another pill.i can still affect my outcome if i take action in the next year or so
I am eating turkey today
but as it stands i am a walking time bomb
I met a vegan this summer. She's a vegan [college aged] because high cholesterol runs in her family. Vegan diet has controlled it for her.
at least i gasve up the smokes in 2002 that is one thing i need not worry about

Now come on ruby, let me take you by the hand :-) Where are you stuck?
I'm still finding the occasional word but could use help on the 8's, only have the te8
le8 I could use help with
Hello (((Rubes))). Pini, Ruru, Kap, Sally and everybody.
this grid has lovely "whale words" in it
(wave)
hi soods
{{soodles}}
Le 8/40 - Spectacles without the glass bit....
le 8, compound word
le8 = glasses without glass
ty sally and soodle
and pini, hahah
ma 8/45, also compound word, without post
ma8/45 - the state of being without any post
wow.. I didn't think there were enough s's for that.. thank you
po4 is in the grid, ladies...beware! :)
ma8/45 - the state of being ...(drumroll....) A MAN!!
Another ma 8/45 - you and I don't have this, ruby, but ruru does :-)
, in spades
hahah ruru
That's all of them.
great clues ! thx :)
Yee-haw, Ruru!!
Sorry about the po :-(
yay, ty for the 8's
Have you got the U yet ruby?
they were both clued much earlier, but I couldn't get them then
yup
Don't forget that apart from the monster ending, there is also the not-so-many-of ending.
I forgot about the monster ending....monkeys are cowering in a corner
Well you must have used it for two of those 8s.
oh yes, dopey ne****
Hows the weather where you are, Sally & Rubes?
first snow today
sorry, just one of them.
but not much
Very cold soodle, woolly hat morning when doing the he**, and has been snowing a little but not much.
Its flippin' freezing hard here....But no snow yet.
I found a wonderful chapka in my closet but husband said don't you dare wear it!
Yup, had great trouble defrosting the drinkers today and the bird bath.
Whats a chapka, Ruby - (I could google it, but I'm lazy...)
lol ruby, seems sensible to me (I googled it soodle).
Russian hat with fur ear flaps, ridiculous but very warm
made in China
Was saying earlier that I stocked up at the butchers and they were all wearning Norwegian style woolly hats with ear flaps and pom poms hanging down. Was like being served by cheery elves.
* pyrotechnics *
BIG cheery elves
yay pini
Congrats pini!
brb, husband supposed to be cooking tonight and need to give him a gentle prod.
see you tomorrow sally
Ah! My son has an admirable hat-collection. Including deer-stalkers, chapkas, Norwegian wooly hats, Jamaican Ganja Hats, old German helmets, etc etc etc.... Hes a bit of a hat maniac. I must root out his chapka. Uncool, but cosy....
phantom: enamel
better to be uncool but warm!
Just logged on been missing this week altho I don't really get time to chat so you won't know me. I just had to comment NO Z's - NO Q's - NO W's??? Bet it's difficult tho.......
that is very funny about your son. Does he have a beret?
hi patxxxx
Ruby, he has nearly every headgear known to man. His beret is a blue beret that a soldier friend of mine got while serving with the UN in Lebanon. Hello Pat. Its a nice grid today!
back later...have a good one all
heam
oops! monkeys are drowning
Hi rubyfoo. Nice to be back. I LOVE BABBLE in fact it's become an obsession.
Oh oh.... I gotta go. Bye everybody.... happy babbling. Poof
bye soodles
Hi soodlebum is it really an OK grid because I have to make tea yet and won't have enough time to finish before bed,
Back. Husband suitably prodded. Hi Pat. Bet you have snow in Yorkshire!
OK, must go now. See you all tomorrow.
NO. Flipping cold tho. In Yorkshire it all depends which side of the pennines you are on. A mile away can be feet deep and we've got none and vive versa. AND may I say it doesn't stop the majority of traffic here but it's the only stories the newspapers like. In the South where for years they haven't had any snow it's a bit different but then you wouldn't expect anything else really.

hi judi
hi Ata!
hi lyn!
Hi mightyquin, once drove south on a snowy Xmas Day. We had the motorway to ourselves and got there real quick. If we saw anyone driving we guessed they were northerners. The southerners who were about were all driving huge 4x4 monsters that cost the price of a house. Altho we did see an old southern lady we knew (mid 80's) and she drove all over the place perfectly.
el6 pls
like a small creature
all the northerners were probably driing stolen cars so they didnt care whether they got beaten up
or greedy... chop off the first letter
Sigh. My MIL drove perfectly into cornfields on not one but two occasions. (low blood sugar was blamed).
thems fighting words!
Hi everyone... back again for a while ... family things getting in the way today :-)
naughty naughty ata lol
hi Diane
lynxx :-)
ty for the el

Oooh. I've blacked out the bottom row.
hi periwinkle

Lovely bird Diane, is that a blue jay?
Bye Quin
Hello Babblers, How is everyone today?
yes... one of "ours"... they are so tame. I have a better one, but can't find it... must not have tagged it .
Atalante. Yorkshire is npt anywhere near Gateshead. Honest. Altho, once again it is the newpapers selling whatever will go.
errrr yes, I do know that
I love the picture of your hot chocolat set, too, Diane. Simply stunning!
hi wht

I may be a Southerner, but I have ventured past the Watford Gap on occasions
How very ocd of you, L'il monkey.

I was once married to a Geordie and they all were (except his mum) the nicest, most hardworking, come in love, you're welcoming, be their for you people anywhere.
thanks Judi... re: the hot chocolate set... that is a very old keepsake... the cups are so fragile and I don't dare use them. I have several pieces of German porcelain, made by the same company.

I am missng so many 4 & 5 letter words and I can't see one!
first ma8 is stoopid
Atalante, I lived in Bishops Waltham for a few years- twixt Winchester and Southampton. Adored it and would return tomorrow.
clue, peri?
agreed
the second ma8 is worse...
if you get nothing in the post you are ma8
wrong definition of ma4 peri ;o)
yes i agree, that is stoopit
and I've worked in Newcastle, Durham, Edinburgh and Elgin. The point being??
ma8 refers to the armour.
Got to go for a while now.
bye Pat
(hi everyone I missed greeting while I was busy on another window... :o) )
hi dfm
may not be an accurate def. but I think it gets the point across, dfm

Ooops. It is off to the PB for me. Is there marmalde in there?
apparently not
Ugh. 60.
No problem, I see a lot of pies in here, probably left overs from the Yanks Thanksgiving dinners yesterday.
Heads back to the grid with a slice of mince pie.
is am4.5 female specific in French?
it's feminine, yes
You can't have a boy friend using that word in French then?
masculine is without the terminal e
ahh - TY
un ami, une am4

I couldn't remember my year 7&8 french - near enough to 50 years ago (wow! fancy being able to say that!)

hello all
poked at this a bit earlier today.. have 93 left
Oh. I see that our aquatic friends are in the grid today.
Hi m9...since I missed you yesterday...happy thanksgiving!
thanks Jilly!! How was yours?
clue for ai 7 please
hi m9! :o)
lol wht...i totally missed it...pini had to hand me tartar sauce
Had a nice laid back full one...we potluck with a friend
ai7 lacking a target
hi dfm!
ai7 having no direction or wandering ai*****ly
gobble.....
how funny. I was looking for words with that ending earlier.. and didn't even notice it's there in another place!!
ty
ohh. I love potluck!
what did you take?
I'
I
hi MPitt :o)
I' m not finding words with that ending either...are there others?
hi dfm...
We had a 22 pound turkey and will be having leftovers for a week
dear Boo - can you possibly change your icon photo - It is overlarge and making the chat jump
there were only 4 of us for dinner
there are four with that ending
sorry yes I can
o.0 that is one huge image.
four.. haven't found them.. and I was looking!
103 left...have to consult my @('_')@'s
I have two. and of course ones that start that way
13 le4... almost... there... can't... list... now...
go dfm!!
go dfm go
According to my logs I've entered some words 25+ times o.0
logs??
what's the stardate? oh nvm.. you've probably never seen trek!
I modded the box to save each word I input to a file
sweet!
yep, haven't seen star trek before... <.<
have 81 left and diving into the ma words
sigh
i have 15 ma words....
back to ~(o_o)~ at grid...
:o/ Babble keeps disappearifying my words...
hate it when that happens!
It does that
ooo good word dfm...I likey!
keep going, mf, I have 21, and still missing 5 m words, no idea what second letter is though
26 ma words :oO
hi Dorens
then I have a ways to go on the ma's!
from what dorens said I'm guessing that's all of them?
there's one more...
dunno... maybe me's mi's mu's,
ah. 26 m words? or ma?
6 mi words - otherwise all ma
ma... not sure whether I have all the other Ms though
i ihave 6 mi's, so i guess the rest are all ma
yay, then my M is done :oD
ok, down to needing two more m's
I have the 6..
is that better for everyone
need 10 more m's!
yes. cute frog
better than what?
It seems so appropriate that the words sh4/6, sa4/4 and ma4/5 are all in the grid on Black Friday.
-.- and Babble loves to invisiblefy my te5/10...
just got back from work again
i know wht, do you think it coincidence?
Hi ardilla
hi Ardilla
hi ardilla :o)
only dr god knows for sure ;) lol Hi all
and the grid has sa5/10
Much better - TY Boo
there wasn't a good sa4/4 here though
Sometimes the grid seems to have a se5/10 of humor.
it was a pretty la4/5 sa4/4, no good bargains
down to one digit le4!
go df, go
you can do it dfm!
You should have gone into housewares, all of the la5/14 were half off.
yw lynxxx
the two things i actually wanted weren't on sa4/4
there was only one american store here so not much competition and things sold out fast
plus, pretty sure if they even had la5/14, they would be the wrong voltage :(
the large american store is on the naval base, 1.5 hours away
hmph. a few of the ma's I am missing were one's I already had... I'm sure!
so the grid is stealing my words too dfm!
clue for al 6 please
Ardilla, how was Thanksgiving in Spain? Did you eat turkey or did you go with Spanish cuisine?
al6 family for onions, garlic, leeks, &c.
erm, apparently genus, not family >.>
turkey, had dinner with some new friends/coworkers...did karaoke and played taboo...lots of fun
5 ma words left..struggling...must need brain food...off for a turkey sammy.....
Glad you had a good time, Ardilla.
i have 6 to find jilly. stuck
5 words le4... love it when you find a missed letter pair :o)
mmm turkey sammy.. with cranberry?
ty dfm, with another detour through wikipedia.
which pair was it?
not sure what you mean for the al 6 dfm
that was the one things the girls said that they forgot :)
got it right away dfm.
(and thanks!)
ending of la4 (got me two Is, two Ls and an A)
al 6 word meaning total + ending for light gas
light gas??
i forgot to have some during the luncheon on wed...so this was my first cranberry less thanksgiving
Not heavy gas.
you know, the floaty gas...
that just makes me think of neon.. oh! li...?
light gas = he6.27
Gas that makes your voice funny M9
oh! LIGHT gas!!!!!
or - not heavy gas
balloon gas!
it's okay, m9, i didn't get it eiither at first
i thought she meant unleaded gasoline
LOL.. and I thought of lights as in la 4/5
see - I would have said unleaded petrol
rather la 4/6. 4 5 combo
Tim was telling bad jokes.. something about vampires.. blood? or blood light?
i think that's a sign that i need to eat some dinner
:P
to tim
I need to NOT eat. been picking at stuff all day.
BBL
There are far fewer Ts and Rs than I thought there would be... counts for R,S,T?
oh yeah.. it's just a laugh riot around here...
the gas that fills balloons and, if inhaled, makes you talk in a high, sqeuaky voice.

R = 1 S = 58 T = 9

Everyone needs a good ROFL as often as possible!
We have 2 turf fires burning (delicious smell), the central heating up full blast, and I'm still not warm
Sending out a protective Irish charm to Soodle and her loved ones. Take care in the bad weather.
Hey ((((Moll))))
Molly, You would love the smell of a real turf fire....it has to be one of the most comforting smells in the world.
(((((((SOODLE))))))
I have actually smelled turf. I bought a little ceramic fireplace and some turf squares in an Irish shop once. Not as good as the real deal, I'm sure.
((((((((Carol)))))) How lovely to see you!!!!
Hey, there, how in the world are you?
Molly,turf is turf!
what does everyone want for Christmas this year?
Cold, Gapeach, blooming cold!!!
Door bell. brb
Boo.... I'm pretty low maintenance..... 6 numbers in the Irish Lottery will do me.....
we have a lottery here to soodle
Perfect! Soodle wins the Irish Lottery, Molly wins the American one. Done!
Fireworks
hey what about me?
Actually, I'm not fussy. I don't care which lottery I win....
Cos, you're covered once I win. I take care of my friends.
ok --- just buy me every "V" movie there is known to man then i'll be happy!
if i won the lottery id go into shock and never be able to use it lol
~*~*~*~*~*~ Yay for Wht! ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
give cosdem half of the American lottery
Woo hoo (both for wht's fireworks, and Molly's generosity)
congrats on fireworks all
molly - everyone loved my apple walnut bars btw
Cos, you are easier to please than I am. And I didn't think that was possible.
Oh good Cos. Glad they were a hit. I love sharing holiday recipes.
:-P
i gotta go back to the mil's house tomorrow. she wants me to decorate for her. she gave me ted kennedys's book yesterday for thanksgiving
When ( and note use of word when, rather than if) Soodle wins the lottery, there will be a Mega Babble Meet over here!
Soodle, soul sister, I always say "when" as well. If you see it, it will come.
soodle - will u buy our plane tickets?
Cos, did you get snow?
no.. northern colorado did. all we got was freezing weather and high winds
Cos, have you started the ted kennedy book yet?
i read the prologue yesterday in bed.. it was a great start
his determination to speak at the convention was amazing
i didnt know he had kidney stones the day before!
Plane tickets, accommodation in my (soon to be purchased - lottery permitting) castle, and all expenses paid, Cos...
Soodle, I need to teach you the words to "When I Am A Rich Bitch"...loosely based on a "Fiddler On The Roof" song.
awesome soodle! 3 cheers for soodle!
has anyone seen the new HP movie yet
*eyes pleading* me too soodle?
not yet but i have tons of friends who did..all but 1 loved it
but the 1 who didnt like it was an intelluctual snob
Errmmm.......just wait til the 6 numbers come up before you thank me. Maybe if we all hold hands, and go 'ommmmmmmm', something might happen....
I heard that one of my friends liked it too
hey it IS the season for miracles soodle
Just Believe :) lol
I Be;ieve, I belileve
I Be;ieve, I belileve
I Be;ieve, I belileve
I Be;ieve, I belileve
Do virtual hands count, otherwise you will have already saved a lot on airfare. :^)

let me know if that works i can try it lol
Sorry - I got carried away....
"OOOHHHMMM, OOOHHHMMM"
LOL
*Clapping hands and believing*
I believe
wait wait... we may be getting ahead of ourselves.. soodle have u purchased the ticket yet?
Cos, I have read reviews that say this movie disappointed some because it was not so much "Hogwarts" related. I can see that.
Can't sit with my legs in meditation pose and still babble...lol
because hogwarts took a very small part in the movie til the end when the battle of hogwarts takes place
i can jilly! :P
We're thinking of going tonight...but we have free tickets.
Doh!!!! Cos... I would BE that rich person if I didn't spend so much money on feckin' lottery tickets
You're younger.... :D
lol fair enough
ugh I have one more J to find... i want to find it without the list
Jilly, I can babble in any position. As for playing this game, I am limited by having to reach the keyboard and read the screen.
brb
Cos - do you know which J you are missing?
evening all - its snowing here - weve had about 3 inches which might not be alot to some folks but it is to me - we are watching 2012 - some weird film
I think it's inevitable that some will be disappointed with the last two Harry Potter movies, simply because they are the "end" and that's sad.
Do you have the place of detention?
cos, ja x3, jo x3, ju x2
The girl's name and plural/
oh thank yuo soodle

J's done!
Yuor (sic) welcome, Cos!!

You need a laptop wht
See, I really wasn't getting the conversation. I thought your son was playing in a concert. What does Dad play?
clarinet
But I hate laptop keyboards, Jilly. I type badly enough on regular ones.
I think it's amazing that you will get to see him, and see him play once again Carlee. And I love a good clarinet player. Good for him that he gets to shine one more time.
but then you could sit in lotus and ohm for us
i felt bad...i wasnt ignoring u :(
Shoosh and fatoosh. I didn't feel ignored. I just had to move on with the Thanksgiving fall-der-all.
ook...goood.... :0)
To do that, I would need new hips and knees as well as a laptop, Jilly.
(((((Carlee))))). You poor old ducky. You have a heck of a lot going on right now. I'm thinking of you, my friend XXX
did you all have a good thanksgiving? And good luck Carlee you probo get farther than me - it 2205 here so not long for me left

Ah, words that are "almost" in the grid. I've been playing that game all day long.
:-)
whats the 9 word? stats?
Thats the only way to do it Carlee. One day at a time. But,of course, you know you have good friends here, if you need to vent/offload whatever. ((((Huge good vibes to Carlee)))
Also names that are and are not (legally) in the grid. Lots of them today. Including my oldest son, Irish spelling of John.

My son manages a restaurant that opens at 11AM for lunch. He refers to people who show up at 10:45, can't read the sign on the door about hours and start "tugging" as "door pullers".
hi lbd
That's what my son worked at..a 24 hour one on east coast...
tomorrow isshort at local businessday.if i do so i epect they spend as much time with me as i nee.othrwise i would go to a big box store.
locals often cannot match price, theonly way they can compete is to offer service. customers are not a pain to be endured; they are the reason the merchant is in business.
ok finally.. list time :)
that's true, TO. but a little courtesy from the customers would be greatly appreciated.
hi boo!
Hello Everyone!
hi car!
al6?
I believe all people deserve to be treated with kindness and that store employees are NOT servants..
dawg: many time i have had to bite my tongue; the customer is the customer. they are sadly too used to rude treatment, no wonder sometimes beahve badly. generally, repayinbg rude with courteous wins in the end.
plant of the onion /garlic family. large purple puffballs on long stalks
al 6 ...al + the end of the gas that makes you talk like Mickey Mouse
i've never been rude to a customer, although the thought had crossed my mind. i'm just amazed at how some people think we are servants and not workers. It's tolerable during slow time, but not during black friday!
well then, refuse to serve them pass them n to someone else. tell them off. ignore them.
back again
hi carlee
hi jilly
I'm in and out here. I'm watching the "Parenthood" Thanksgiving show and then probably some back episodes I've missed.
hi carlee
hi molly
Hi carlee!
hey car.ee,,,how was turkey day?
good...we missed you!
car.ee...hi there!
And how was your day?
Hi Jilly!
Hi Molly!
ah..soo sorry....been laid out from this bug....i think i have slept about 4 of every 6 hours for last 4 days
my day....was quiet..watched some movies...we did turkey day back in oct
Having a nice quiet day off....*smiles*
Nice lazy day for us too! Ahhhhhh....
quiet day off is nice, i wont get one til wednesday.
ahhh yes, we celebrated the canadian version a few years ago when our son was home on leave...
clue for the last le 5/10
today did a bit of shopping ( not black friday here..but its starting )
I am sorry Dawg....I will take an extra nap for you!
sorry dawg...((huggs)). I'm lucky, no one wants to 'prep' for our procedures on holidays...
thing you look thru, whether camera, glasses or microscope, boo
I thought I had to do my transcription work today...but I didn't!!!
i'm just glad to have a job to complain about, Jilly! lol
yay no transcription ( although i kinda like transcirption..its a brain dead..zone out forget the world exists kind of task )
no wonder you are so good on chatting, expert typist!
Oh...not for me...I have to concentrat!
*concentrate
I know surgery was going today
nice to have a break from those types of jobs, car
the letters i do..i could do without transcription....she uses the same phrases over and over...
ugh, don't think i'd want to have surgery after turkey day.
Oh I know, we have one doctor that I know I could do his transcription dictation, the same thing every scope...and at bullet speed...
further to my reporting letter dated....blah....i confirm that you attended in the Ontario Court of Justice (criminal Divion) on ..Blah.
carlee...what kind of transcription do you do?
Oh....legal.
( and i am lying on my stomach..in the dark,,typing on a laptop...hense the typos)
clue for le 8
which do you do car.ee?
I do Ophthalmology reports...most of the doctors are pretty predictable, but not all. And some do have very thick accents.
le= to be without your spectacles(glasses)
without that thing you were looking thru, boo
ty
No accents here yet...
that would be hard to transcribe...accents, i'd probably have to listen to the tape a couple times to make sure i heard the words right.
i dont mind accents...
I am used to them now, but it took a while!
its thanksgiving the sequel l(im eating leftovers)
hello everybody
lol cos
wow mom! long time no see
(((MOM)))
i did festive dinner at swiss chalet today...had to ask for extra cranberry..they are getting really stingy with the cranberries

I want snow...crazy, I know...but I want snow!
HI minv...welcome to the grid
thanks dawg
dissolve jello in one cup hot water, add 1/2 cup cold water, cranberry sauce and pineapple, stir and make sure the cranberry sauce gets melted into the jello. mix in nuts and set til firm. yummy
nah its not crazy i want it too seems to fit with the season so well lol
you can have all the snow we got, cos.
jello salads are just not popular up here
Hello Jillyjill!How are you? Thank you for the welcome.
thanks lbd... that sounds simple
hi there minver...happy thanksgiving..belated
i'm not crazy about jello salads, but this one is really good.
(((Min))) hello, happy Thanksgiving, one day late
you can add whipped topping and make it into a dessert!
it sounds realy good ibdawger
hi Min!
It's my pleasure minv...you were always so warm when I was a newbie....
Jello salads are not popular a lot of places.
would make a nice light dessert
that is what i was thinking..dessert
Thanks for the recipe dawg...copied and pasted... may do for Saturday.
Hi Min!!!!
i made a light cream sauce with cream cheese, whipping cream and vanilla yogurt. it's light and sweet enough but not overly.
Had better not serve a jell-o salad here, I would be laughed at from here to the border
Nice!! (copy and paste again)
That's kind of the way it is around her regarding jell-o salad Mom.
Ya, right...everybody says the same about the greem bean cassarole...then they complain if it's not there...
why mom?
it doesn't look like jello, so i think most people would accept it.
well.....
i had green bean casserole for the very first time last weekend...again..not a cdn thing
Grandma use to make this jell-0 salad with cabbage and marshmallows and I don't know what else was in it and always served it in the peach tupperware container.
Thanks you for the Thanksgiving wishes. Hope all had a very nice Thanksgiving with your family and friends
abd cheesy potatoes...the kind done with frozen hasbrowns..not cdn...and the sweet potatoes with marshmallows....we dont do that up here ither
I love green bean casserole
jello salads, green bean cassarole+comfort food here
Oh dear God! Cabbage and marhmallows????
brb, friend at door
I wish I could remember what else was in it
Jillyjill, I tried to be nice and warm to the newbie last night too,but that didn't work. Has she/he been back
bye Jillyjill
how do u make it mom...the recipe i had to follow was 2 can green beans, 1 can corn, 1 can cream of mushroom soup, 2 cupes grated cheddar, salt and pepper and the fried onions around the edge
I will have to go through her recipes and see if I can find it
oh Carlee, not like that
it wasnt bad....
Sweet potatoes at Thanksgiving, not Canadian. Okay, that explains why I could never turn Dan. Although my Thanksgiving sweet potatoes are awesome, with pecans, brown sugar and coconut on top.
Min...you are always warm and inviting to everyone!
we do sweet potatoes...just not with marshmallows..they sweet enough..although..they are excellent sliced and baked with maple syru[ and butter
2 cans french style green beans (Freshlike), 1 can cream of mushroom soup(pureed), little bit of milk mixed in the soup. drain the green beans, mix in the soup, mix in durkee french fried onions and pour into greased casserole, top all over with the onions and bake 30 minutes at 350
i agree, carlee. not a marshmallow fan. besides they usually melt into the dish anyway
Green bean casserole needs fresh beans, not canned. The rest of what you said, give or take, is how I make mine. Cos said his partner uses made from scratch mushroom soup, which sounds good.
ok...so..similar....i kinda liked it with the corn and cheese
only time we have fresh green beans is in the summer with new potatoes and a ham
Oh Mom! Fresh green beans, new potatoes and ham is HEAVEN!
made in the pressure cooker
we make a green bean salad..with parboiled green beans...garlic, oregano, balsamic vinegar and olive oil..all ingredients go on whilst still hot..and then u chill
( salt and pepper too )
Um...no. Not in the pressure cooker. I fry my new potatoes and ham in butter and onions and steam the beans.
oh Carlee, cold green beans?
Clue for al 6/24 please?
love fried potatoes and onions too
not sure where my post went, but will bbl to chat some more and share more recipes.
bye ((LBD)) see you soon
its..amazing... dont knock it... in summer...its the only way i get my son to eat green beans...and i cant make enough of them fast enough ( i learned that one in an italian kitchen )
al 6/24....we are a** here together + end of a gas that makes your voice funny
Ty Molly!
***I am a picky eater***
its really really good...
te8?
my son a picky eater....and he requests this one...he does "do" vegetabes" but he does these beans
Hi Wildcat, do you have the te 6/18?

Nite Mom, sweet dreams.
((molly)) pleasant dreams
bye mom!
byebye mom~~~~~~~
hi all i am back - have been off looking at the snow
((Car.)) have a good evening
I am not much of a vinaigrette person. I know it's wildly popular, but I can only take it in small doses.
Good evening, everyone!
Nice Kazz...
Hi Brookie!
Brooke is in da house!
snow..yeuck...keep it
hi brook
HI brookie and kazzer!
we dont normally have much
Hi molly, car.eeyeore, carlee, and jilly!
Carlee, how in the hell do you survive Canadian winter if you hate snow?
babble
lol
Clue for the first as 5/10 please?
See, much as I like Babble, that would not be enough for me. And believe me, I hate snow.
i also hate it if I have to go out in it but as it is now 2322 i dont think i will be going anywhere
as 5/10 is as plus *** the table for dinner car.eeyore.
as+sa4/4 minus last consonant
i guess i just accept it as a necessary evil....
I have that one...need the one before it.
Was hoping to finish puzzle,but al 4/4 I gave up with 185 words.So here is a story of clues.Had a very nice Thanksgiving.I made sure to check out all the sa5/10 before getting my turkey.I got a turkey on sa 4/4 at Stop and Sh 4/5 for Thanksgiving. They usually se4/4 turkeys for a great price. Anyway, getting ready for Thanksgiving usually drives me insa4/4, but this year was not too bad. Husband and I were the ho4/5s this year. We celebrated with three of our ma4/5 friends whose na4/5s are Al 4/4, Ja 4/9 & Jo 4/10. They live a mi 4/5 away right down the la4/4. I also invited my friend Ne 6/18. Sh 4/5 my best friend. I went to the po 4/5 office and ma 4/5ed them an invitation a few weeks ago. For appetizers,we had chips and sa5/10. For dinner, we ate yam, li 4/5 beans, corn, ma 4/6ed potatoes,& turkey; an as5/10 to every Thanksgiving meal. It's the sa 4/5 meal we have every year. I must confe4/7 I did not make the meal myse4/7. My hubby made the meal with ea 4/4 as he is a master chef. He always ma4/5 kitchen on Thanksgiving. It only makes se5/10 that my hubby cooks the meal since he knows how to cook and I don't.He always th4/5ws me out of the kitchen & then sh5/12ds me from reentering the kitchen when he is cooking.While we were eating my dog kept ju 4/12ing up looking for food. Hubby le 4/4 him beg for food. I almost put him on a le 5/12 so we could eat in peace.He ju5/26 up everytime we eat at the table. I fe 4/7 like a stuffed turkey myself when I was done eating. I thought I was going to sp 4/6 my meal.I'm not le4/4 today.In fact,I look pretty he4/8y today.I think my body does not need any more fu4/8 for another week. I hope my fat body will he4/5 from all the food soon. I should eat le 4/4 today, but what the he4/5, I may as well pig out again tonight with all the le 4/7-overs we have. I'll go on a diet and le 6/18 my food intake after the holidays.Well I have nothing el 4/4 to do today so I will stay here to chat and clue.
nice minv
There is nothing necessary about snow. There are many things necessary about rain. But none about snow.
TY!
Wow! Min! TY!
Thanks min!
Snow allows you to be out and about w/o getting wet...not so much with rain. Kids can go outside in snow, not so much with rain...I like seasons..I like snow.
Car EE...do you have as + a boat with a big white ****
I don't know. I've raised three kids and they all come in soaking wet from playing in the snow.
actually,,,, it is important for the water table and ice is really important for the level of the great lakes
yw
Yes, Molly, I am all set for now!
Well, mine would spend the whole day skiing and come home tired and ready to go to bed...
It is also posted in profile in case you need it after it leaves the chog. I actually did my story earlier today.
Snow is nasty, and wet, and cold and causes accidents. I find nothing good or wonderful about it. Call me the Snow Grinch.
i dont mind driving in the snow...i just get tired of shovelling....and i get tired of dressing for the cold...
and i hate when it gets dirty from he sand
Snow is pretty to look at and not so much fun to drive in.
Well I choose to live in snow country...you can put lots of clothes on, but you can't remove enough of them in the heat...lol...to each their own!
Montana must be very scenic, Jilly.
It is where myself, lbd and harpjane live. And really pretty today with snow and sunshine..
google: bitterroot valley montana to see
lbd is farther north, but even more scenic...
just been looking at the euromillions lotto - not a single numbrt
HE 6/27 please?
Jilly, it's all good. If I could, I would move somewhere that it never snows. It's just not my thing. And I'm scarred from last winter, because we had three bad blizzards in three months. It's not usually like that here in the winter.
Just googled it, Jilly. The pics are gorgeous!
he 6/27 is the gas that makes your voice funny
thanks, feel very blest to live here!
he 6 = balloon gas
Thank you to my husband Mike For making a dinner that I like The big turkey was cooked just right We had a wonderful Thanksgiving night So grateful to have an expert chef So grateful to have lots of yummy turkey left Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving this year Filled with lots of joyful laughter and cheer

Cos has computer gremlins.
yes. dont feed them after midnight
im getting a new computer sunday though!!
u didnt go out at 3 am and buy one super cheap?
Oh hell yes. New computers are so fine.
I got a heck of a deal 2 yrs ago on mine...cyber monday...I don't do lines...lol
lol no.. my mil givng me her computer she bought it last week and decided she didnt like it. she doesnt do returns she refuses to. so shes giving me that one and getting another one for herself lol
man it must be nice to be rich like she is!
giving molly a plate of leftovers on her way to the pb
Speaking of "Gremlins" I wish I had a picture of the look on my face when I let my young children watch that movie and freakin' Phoebe Cates goes into the whole story of how "that's when I knew there was no Santa Claus". Bless me, I lied and told them it must have been a bad dream she was talking about.
aww molly!
my 2nd grade teacher told us there was no santa claus! she got tons of angry phone calls that night lol
My 8-year-old still believes in Santa.
LOL, I actually got to care for Hoyt Axton before he passed...he had moved to this valley...really geniune human being...
I still do Brooke :)
i loved when my kids believed..and magic xmas pajamas
Only I could be sent to the PB for saying he4/5. How fitting.
As well you should, cos.
i have a huge sign in my window that says "I Still Believe"
Oh, now I want to watch "Polar Express" but it's way too early.
My Gremlins tale (since my kids were kids when it came out) was where they went into the movie theatre....my youngest said "That's a really big video store..."...we made sure to take him to an actual movie theatre after that!
i loved magic xmas pajamas...worked brilliantly for getting the kids to sleep
lol Jilly!
I never believed in Santa. I remember being 3 years old and trying to stay up to catch my parents bring in toys from the car.
i loved the old lady on the stairchair zooming up in the sky
Oh Brooke, that makes me sad.
i remember when i was 7 or so and i asked my mom why she had the same writing as santa claus.. she said its b/c he forgot to put on the tags
I also remember going to DisneyWorld when I was 6 and thinking, "so what"? I was a miserable child.
WE have a rule in this house (of course being Catholic helps..there IS a St Nicholas)...Santa still comes if you believe in him....my boys always answer yes to that question....
quick thinking on er part
Therapy has helped.
i did the same with disney world
aww brooke.. thats sad!
How old were you, carlee?
nothing at all real there..all plastic
actually our "line" started with our oldest...in order that he not ruin it for his little brother...
i was 12...space mountain had just openned
ok i need clue for el6
i think i will get my kids magic xmas pj's this year...what the hell...
so what they are 18 and 14
Acting like one of Santa's helpers...
Brooke, after watching your video of the comedy competition, it's obvious that you are a perfect example of the phrase "it's never too late to have a happy childhood".
el+ tartar sauce food....
cos, think of santa's helpers.
my pathetic story --- i still believed in the easter bunny long after i knew the truth about santa claus
Not pathetic. Not pathetic. Not pathetic.
That's endearing, cos.
i was looking at the wrong E.. thanks!!
Carlee, now I want magic Christmas pjs. I think I will buy myself some. : P
I always buy new Christmas PJ's every year!
a good new christmas tradtion for when kids ask how santa knows if theyre good or bad.. http://www.elfontheshelf.com/home.php? return=yes
My mom used to get me PJs every year for Christmas.
evening all...well...evening here at least. :-)
i swear it worked....the elves left magic xmas pajamas on the kids bed at some point udring the day....all washed ( used diff detergent and fabric softener so didnt smell like "our laundry")...and folded....and only on xmas eve...did they help excited kids fall asleep so santa could come and do his thing :)
Christmas PJ's and dresses for Easter...

Jilly, we are supposed to be okay with words like te8 and 9, but just overlook that sensei is a universally recognized word. Go figure.

Santa rules
It's 'How the Grinch Stole Christmas' at our house
my fave christmas movie is "santa claus: the movie"
Traditionalist here....Miracle on 34th Street
My favorite is White Christmas

brb
Cos, I LOVE Santa Claus - The Movie. Truly a great Christmas story. I think you and I are the only ones who remember it though. And my kids.
i watch it every year on the day after thanksgiving
good evening everyone:)
back later
Hi Cross
hi cross
Hi Everybody. How are you all tonight?
good and you
lens
Hi Nef
OOPS! Sorry
Nef, no worries. There are oodles of Thanksgiving leftovers in the PB. And I just put some more homemade rolls in there for turkey sandwiches.
thanks, Molly. I was eating a hot turkey sandwich (with mashed potatoes and gravy) when I put the word in the wrong box. I'm off to the PB to veg out
hi crossy, hi nef
hi lbd. How are you (besides cold)
doing well, Nef. busy day at the store. how are you?
howdy lbd,molly ,nef et al
resting up. Had turkey dinner here yesterday and the grandson overnight (definately NOT crazy enough to go out shopping today!)
I'll add my leftovers to the pb too
thought of you this afternoon, crossy. was watching foodnetwork and guy fieri was at some diner that did all sorts of things with bacon
good for you, Nef. enough crazy folks out there today.
I didn't go shopping today. very crowded
mmm..bacon...
i add turkey bacon to my stuffing. it's the best!!
well cross I see you heard your favorite wors
oops word
Truly, I don't know why anyone goes shopping anymore. The on line deals are as good as the store deals. And this time of year, there is free shipping.
The radio said that the mall closest to me didn't have a parking space available for over 6 hours during the day today
i agree molly. That's what i have done all day :)
i got to work at 5:50 and the parking lot was full! crazy people were everywhere!
ails
OOOPS!
go nef go?
*cough drops, lemonade, tissues*
hi stid
(Not a word; didn't count)
rofl
hey all
hey stid!
I don't understand people who participate in crowd behavior. Back when I was contemplating a Master's Degree, I was going to do my thesis on crowd behavior. It baffles me.
hi stiddy
Any clues for the U and R in the bottom row? I still need NBT
Howdy Stid. How's the weather out your way today?
not sure if you can call it crowd behaviour as much as herding instinct! lol
the u is short for a kind of referee
U are the refs in football or baseball
white haps
or hat
the guys who stand behind the catcher in baseball, um4, nef
rainy, molly. warm (comparatively) not bad
nef, think baseball for the u
thanks scrib and stid
Lbd...I like herding instinct much better. Sheeple.
lol, molly! yes, sheeple
bottom r is greek letter
So Stid, all the snow and ice are gone. Good.
ah, sheeple -- the fu4 for the economic engine of modern times...
"i did get the u word" was not found in the dictionary SHOOT! One of THOSE days! :-(
yes, very good. it was highly dangerous tuesday, and still dangerous wednesday, but not as much
LOL nef! I do that SO often!
Hi Nef!
got the R! Thanks, lbd!!!
Hi Jilly! How are you today?
Good, and you? Was the clinic open today?
lol molly re: crowd behavior,have you ever gone into a office building and gone into an elevator and faced the back wall just to see what the rest of the occupants do? or only walk on the white tile of a black and white tile floor?..great fun!
hey jilly
*hugs cross*
HI Stid!! How are you? Staying safe I hope.
Nope. we're closed for 4 days in a row
(9stidmama))
Honestly, I can't think of anything that I would rather NOT do than go mix it up with sheeple crowds the day after Thanksgiving.
Our surgery center was doing surgeries today, but no one 'preps' on a holiday, so I also have a 4 day break!!
clue for se 6/21
crossy has dealt with sheeple all evening;((
Crossy! You made it home!!
i did indeed jilly;))
YAY for 4 day weekends!
there there cross -- how about we trade? I will deal with your sheeple and you can come deal with my teenagers...
childrens show se**** Street
ty
no thank you stidmama,i have a teenager of my own
yes, but you have raised him up properly... LOL
Stid and crossy...i really like teenagers!! Of course, much easier as a youth minister than parent...lol
I am SURE he gives you no trouble!
Teenagers should = an automatic, always refillable prescription of Xanex. Many of life's problems would be solved if that were the case.
rofl Molly!
For them or us molly!!
dealing with other peoples kids is always easier that deal with your own,cause you own know how to push all the right buttons
teens...cryogenics!
I can tell you, having survived the teenage years three times, that there is good life on the other side. Story to follow.
oh, the little darlings often try to push mine as well!!
is there? or does my 25 year old son move back in with the pregnant GF
Both of mine were pretty mellow for teen years, it's just the oldest finally found his way at 27...
After bad marriage, bankruptcy...*grabbing for hair dye*
*gasp* CROSS! you have a 25 yo??? *faints* (I thought you were too young for that)
no,mine is only 16,was just thinking ahead
Middle son is 29, married for three years to the sweetest woman there is. She mentioned that she loves pecan pie at Thanksgiving. While she was out working her 3PM to 3AM nurse shift, he bought a pecan pie and left it on the counter for her to find when she got in from work.
*realizes that might be taken the wrong way and blushes*
oh what a sweetie, Molly! you brought him up right!
Those two are my favorite love story.
lol,mine is just 16,but already angling for car privilages
I hope for mine to find the right one....he deserves a good wife and I WANT grandkids!!
I take no more credit for my kids "good stuff" than I do for their "not so good stuff". I gave them the best I have and, luckily, they have blended that into who they are.
I am not sure I want grandkids -- parenting has been so traumatic (at times) I don't think I want my children to experience that
my 15 y o is the classic lovable underachiever. just can't light a fire in that kid.
So true Molly, but take it from me, they do benefit from a stable environment and lots of love and support...ability to give them wings but to be there when they fall
i agree molly- no credit no blame!!
Jilly, I am SO READY for grandkids.
No Credit, No Blame. It's a new age Bob Marley song. : P
GO: that is my oldest....he will find his way, it takes longer. Those need the flight/fall support.
well at some point the kiddos have to stand on their own -- their own decisions, their own consequences
brb
Mine is very intelligent and charming. He skated thru HS ("Does not work up to potential"). When he finally realized value of education, he began college...now is in Nat'l Honor Society. Yours will be fine...
unconditional love. even when you'd like a paternity test or at least an mri to see if there is a functioning brain within the skull
Letting go is the hardest part. We do that when they learn to walk, and when they learn to ride a bike. It's a lot harder when we have to let them go be independent.
Lots of tears eh Molly!
never had the problem with independence, fearing he'd break every bone in his body before he finished hs was my biggest fear
it is molly,we had to learn that with ours. you know how muched we agonized over giving him his own set of house keys and letting him be here on his own while we went out? lol talk about learing,it was us that had to learn and not him;/
so true lbd. unfortunaltly my son needed a mri a couple years ago - they thought he might have a brain tumor. No tumor but we did confirm he has a brain! now we beg him to use it.
oh good! how scary that must have been. ((hugs)) glad he was okay!
OUr youngest was pretty high strung, since he came out his junior year, he has really mellowed...my regret? Not pursueing a conversation when I felt he might have been struggling with his sexuality..
just a bump in the road stid. we all have em.
don't we know it!
((jilly))
thanks stiddy...but he knows I love him and these things happen
that is important -- I meant hugs for watching him struggle. it's hard to watch someone you love go through that.
I appreciate the hugs!
No matter what struggles, we all suffer watching our 'babies' take on life!
yes, our babies grow up so fast (although at times it seems it will NEVER happen!)
it is strange to think that soon there may be grandbabbies around
Jilly, no regrets about something you were not sure about. The most important thing is, you love him...he knows that...and he knows that you are always there for him.
I always tried to remember all the good stuff...it still went way to fast!
You are right molly...he does.
*stern mama look at stidkids* Not THAT soon, cross!!!!
Oh crossy, they are so wonderful...I had a step-grandson for 4 years...it was very nice
lol stidmama,told the boy he cannot even date till he is 25
good idea! *conveys new rule to stidkids*
replies: "That's crazy" -- "good luck enforcing that one, Mom"
locking them up doesn't work...lol...but teaching them to respect others and about consequences....
Cross, you are lucky. My boys were well into dating by age 16.
and on that fateful day dad and son will make a trip to the pharmacy and before he goes out on the date i want to see that he has it with him..as a matter of fact,before he even steps out that door,i want to SEE IT on!! lol
roflmao
I dare not convey that to the chillun's
lol...actually I gave them that pharmacy product the minute they started dating!
Jilly, yes. Teaching respect for others and about consequences goes a long way.
I had thought about suturing on one though....
good old-fashioned chastity belts... for MEN!
i told my son, 1st, i was too young to be a grandmother, 2nd, i would not raise any of his mistakes.
My lines too dawg!
Well Stid, chastity belts for men would solve a plethora of problems.
musta scared him cuz we were beginning to think we'd never become grandparents. I did have to tell the kid, "okay, i'm old enough to be a gramma now." we both had a good laugh
rofl
reading this I didn't have anything to say til now. Please, when raising your sons, tell them that if the girl says she's crazy; *they* can't cure her! They should run the other way!
we definitely need to be clear about when restrictions are lifted...
Or those that play head games...
true of anyone, Nef -- we can't "fix" other people and we can't "fix" the world FOR other people either
Agreed Stid. True of anyone. Love does not = fixing. That is codependency to the max.
and we shouldn't have to allow ourselves to be changed in order to make another happy (wish someone had told me that last piece early on)
yep. My dtr-in-law is certifiably crazy and I love my grandson like crazy. I will always treat her well; but Damn! I wish my son wouldn't have gotten involved with her!
that's rough, nef
well at least she does not live under your roof,count the blessings;))
"We shouldn't have to allow ourselves to be changed in order to make another happy."...that is golden Stid. Copying and pasting and putting up on the wall to always remember.

i love wasabe almonds and peas!
i'll have to see.....
wasabi almonds sounds good!
not sure about jalapeno choc chip cookies...
stiddy you can get them at the grocery store blue diamond brand, i think
I can see it working... I expect it depends how much jalapeno is in them!

oh well could i have the non plural for either of them???
mmm,now i just got an urge to make a carrot spice cake
i bet someone has, stid
