1:21 am

Hi ruru!

1:22 am

Pasties are very Brit, ruru, esp in Cornwall.

1:22 am

hi jilli

1:22 am

oh I know ruru - just smack me. I meant pastries.

1:22 am

Us... hmm, reave"U"d

1:23 am

Pasties are different.

1:23 am

what's wrong with "pastie"? o.o

1:23 am

ROFL

1:23 am

Actually jilli has a good point - nothing better than a really good meaty pastie.

1:24 am

Google Cornish Pasties

1:25 am

yes, they're yummy, Jilli

1:25 am

well dawn has come so I must go and put food and water out for the birds.

1:26 am

Just occurred to me -- this is a pretty big grid to have no S

1:26 am

oh great... what do I walk into..?

1:26 am

How's the snow, FM?

1:26 am

Wellies on and rubber gloves for the clearing of the snow on the wall. :)

1:27 am

you walked into a wall, m9! oh, and Babble chat, too.

1:27 am

The birds thank you, FM

1:27 am

The wall probably explains the amnesia. Welcome to Babble, m9!

1:27 am

ha dfm!

1:27 am

I hope they will jilli - back in a bit.

1:28 am

hi again m9!

1:29 am

Don't worry if all this seems like déjà vu, m9, it's a common side effect of amnesia.

1:36 am

sorry I missed yer hello jilli.. I am SO distracted!

1:37 am

(caught up to beginning of 8th season of NCIS..LOL)

1:37 am

(i.e. she forgot you, jilli...)

1:38 am

1:38 am

oops. MEAN ol' potato head

1:38 am

1:52 am

back fro the icy wastes but the birds are happy.

1:52 am

wtg m9 -- I'll be lucky if I get there at all -- only59 words found now.

1:53 am

ohh... I like that actor jilli

1:53 am

good for you, FM -- we went through that here a week or so ago and I had to get through the snow to fill the bird feeders. We even have winter hummingbirds now.

1:54 am

oh.. I wish we had winter hummingbirds!

1:54 am

that would be very cool!

1:54 am

winter humming birds - wow!

1:55 am

m9 - can you share any info about NB? Many babblers are worried about him.

1:55 am

A bit too cool for their feeders, sometimes. I had to bring the feeder in overnight to thaw it! This doesn't happen here very often, and certainly hardly ever in November.

1:56 am

It's called Anna's Hummingbird, if you want to google it.

1:56 am

My fairly tame robin came down to see what I was doing and feed about 62 away from me

1:57 am

I just can't get him to feed from my hand yet.

1:57 am

Our robins are so different from yours, FM

1:57 am

6" that was supposed to say.

1:58 am

Oh, cute, FM!

1:59 am

It is a privelige to see a bird so close

2:04 am

dfm - wher are you when I need a spell check!?

2:09 am

does anyone have a clue for the cu7 please

2:10 am

sorry crys, don't have it

2:13 am

cu + cons + ri 4

2:14 am

thanks diz

2:15 am

YW, so my clue worked?...lol

2:15 am

absolutely, diz, great clue

2:15 am

Hey Flos why is your pic black?

2:16 am

don't know why diz, click on it and you'll see it was yesterday's icon theme, calendar

2:19 am

it's black because it's a GIF, flosey...

2:20 am

73 to go but I must get to bed, falling asleep right here!

2:20 am

oh, thanks dfm, will watch that in future

2:20 am

now, goodnight all, hopefully will get back at some time tomorrow to finish up

2:21 am

PNG and GIF will have black backgrounds applied when converting to JPG, so if they're transparent, you'll see the background black.

2:21 am

night flosey :o)

2:21 am

also FM it's spelt "privilege" ;o)

2:22 am

ty for that information, dfm :-)

2:28 am

back from the kitchen now but need to go to bed :-(

2:29 am

Lots to do tomorrow...

2:29 am

So goodnight all and *poof*

2:29 am

night jilli :o)

morning all how many words today please

2:42 am

197

thanks

2:43 am

1 eight letter word, fifteen seven letter words, twenty-six six letter words, sixty-five five letter words and ninety four letter words

3:30 am

morning all

3:32 am

Good morning, sprite.

3:32 am

hello Haz, living in a white world too?

3:32 am

We've missed you the past few days. Yes, pretty much surrounded by the stuff. I'm ready for it to disappear.

3:33 am

We don't have huge quantities but it shows no sign of shifting. What about you?

3:33 am

me too. Sidewalks are ice with snow on top... dangerous for walking. Yeah, nasty flu. Missed you all too.

3:35 am

Yes, pavements aren't in great shape here either. Are you fully recovered from the flu?

3:36 am

first day up again, still a bit weak in the stem (?). But very happy to be out of bed!

3:37 am

Weak in the stem = wobbly legs? You know you've got flu and not a cold when the prospect of getting out of bed seems akin to climbing Everest.

3:39 am

lol yes, exactly. I don't think it is an english expression. In dutch we can say 'weak on the stem' as an image of a flower that is still a bit drooping after having had too little water.

3:40 am

There's a Scots expression - feeling peely-wally that sums it up nicely.

3:40 am

hahaha that has a good ring to it. Very apt.

3:40 am

nice size grid for a nasty day. Good morning everybody

3:40 am

Good morning, ruby.

3:40 am

morning rubyfoo. Why a nasty day?

3:43 am

We'll have to imagine why it's nasty.

3:44 am

I guess so. Though days are often what you make of them.

3:44 am

2 1/2 ft of snow on the ground with ice underneath! and getting colder by the minute

3:45 am

it is too dangerous to go out although the road are clear. We are below the road, though, and the driveway and steps are dangerous, and I worry that husband will fall

3:45 am

warm clothes, rubyfoo, and doing fun indoor things... close the curtains early and light some candles... make a spice wine tonight :)

3:46 am

Morning Ladies. Ditto here Rubes, Its horrible.

3:46 am

hi Soodle :)

3:46 am

Good morning, Soodle.

3:46 am

look, Soodle has candles already!

3:46 am

Glad to hear you are up and about, albeit wobbly, Sprite.

3:47 am

I sent you an e-mail soodles, how are you doing? I'm glad you got supplies in. My dopey neighbor called me to say she couldn't get her car out (did she think my husband would dig her out? lol) so I said, Have you heard of taxis?

3:47 am

They're for JBV's husband who died, sprite.

3:47 am

Oh Sprite... Maybe you didn't hear about JBV's husband?

3:47 am

rubyfoo, can't your husband get those metal grips you bind under your shoes?

3:47 am

oh dear :( Am so sorry to hear that.

3:47 am

I have cardamon seeds in my stove-top boiling water (to humidify the house) as the fireplaces make the air very dry

3:48 am

when did that happen?

3:48 am

I'm not sure exactly when he died, but the funeral was yesterday.

3:49 am

I think Monday or Tuesday. He was being buried yesterday. JBV called by yesterday morning

3:49 am

how old was he?

3:50 am

I don't know, ruby, but he had been in ill health for quite a while, I think.

3:50 am

it is a sad season. So many people dying way too young.

3:50 am

this is a difficult time of year!

3:51 am

yes I believe so too, Haz.

3:53 am

Got your email, Rubes, thank you. Haz, Sprite, Ruby wrote to me in bright pink, to cheer me up, and and it worked!

3:53 am

awwww how sweet

3:53 am

E' erradicated

3:54 am

hello dizgrannie

3:54 am

hello diz grannia

3:54 am

Sprite, poor little Buster was knocked down and killed by a car on Wednesday.

3:54 am

Hello, diz.

3:54 am

hey Ruby and ALL!!!

3:55 am

oh Soodle :( *hugs*

3:55 am

grannia is the Italian version*

3:55 am

nana

3:55 am

SHYTE!!!! DMAN!!!

3:56 am

I'll meet you in the pb for some hot chocolate, grannie!

3:56 am

you could call that entrapment!

3:56 am

Who wants to lead off a round of tut-tutting?

3:56 am

*giggles* I will put some spiced wine in the PB, rubyfoo. It will warm and cheer you up, all at once.

3:56 am

LOL

3:56 am

LOL might need more than hot chocolate, had a coupla glasses of wine with dinner...HICC

3:56 am

tsk tsk, t-t-t. Always game.

3:57 am

too early, even for me! but hot toddy before lunch, that's for sure

3:57 am

My mother was the fastest at tut-tutting I ever heard.

3:57 am

fastest as in quick to start it, or in the pace of tutting?

3:57 am

She had a remarkable technique, machine gun tuts.

3:58 am

ah, asked and answered, thanks

3:58 am

I bet mine came a close second, Haz.... With us lot, she had ye**s of practice..

3:58 am

Hey what is this Spiced Wine that you often talk about....humour this Aussie...LOL

3:58 am

The pace of tutting - she was a sweetheart.

3:58 am

if you have a bottle of so-so wine, add some sugar and spices and heat it up on the stove

3:58 am

Is spiced wine the same as Mulled wine?

3:58 am

goes right to your toes if you're cold

3:59 am

yes, and you stir it with a cinnamon stick

3:59 am

Don't forget the chunks of apples and cloves, Ruby...

3:59 am

red wine, add cinnamon, take an orange and put a load of .... (must look that up) into them, warm the wine with the cinnamon and orange.

3:59 am

WOW sounds okies, might try some....thanx

3:59 am

jeezzz why can't I remember... hold on

3:59 am

e

4:00 am

cloves

4:00 am

aaah, but then you're getting into health food, soodles!

4:00 am

don't boil the wine though, you will lose all alcohol that way. And that would be a shame.

4:00 am

oh we never did apples... sounds great!

4:01 am

Nah. The apples absorb the wine, you could get tipsy eating the leftovers the next day. Health food shmealth food!

4:01 am

yes, I believe it is the same as mulled wine, Soodle.

4:02 am

that's like the fruit in the bottom of the sangria which has soaked overnight in sugar and brandy -- cook's treat

4:02 am

Blooming well started snowing again here. Its just not funny or beautiful anymore. I am sick of it now.

4:03 am

I know, there's not the least sign of a thaw.

4:03 am

our favorite restaurant had also the best sangria I ever tasted... I got the recipe from the owner because we were such good customers we were considered family.

4:03 am

snow is only nice if you (and everybody else) is free from work. And from shopping. Etc.

4:04 am

That's the problem, sprite, life has to go on.

4:05 am

yes I know. It is hell walking Terra. With my pelvic injuries I walk the mini walk, and I let Terra do the running and walking long stretches.

4:06 am

My car is just immovable. I took a taxi into town yesterday, and shopped for a week.

4:06 am

not that he minds... he LOVES snow and ice. He is frisky and wild and runs miles to and from me.

4:06 am

had better get dressed now, see you later

4:06 am

ouch Soodle, that is something!

4:06 am

*poof*

4:06 am

See you later, ruby.

4:07 am

Bye Rubes ((())) and thanks again.

4:07 am

bye rubyfoo

4:08 am

for me this grid is a bit tight... not really flowing and I am not even halfway.

4:09 am

I found the first 70 or so ok..... I'm slowing down now.

4:09 am

It takes a bit of looking, that's for sure.

4:09 am

glad to hear I am not the only one

4:15 am

Strangest word I've found so far - pu7, a light turban worn in India. Looks like a cross between a dog and a trousered garment (usually plural) worn for work.

4:18 am

oh that is a word I should know... now what was it... thanks for the clue, Haz!

4:18 am

No problem, it was on the tip of your tongue anyway, you just needed an extra nudge.

4:19 am

Just found it - thank you Haz. I would have been a long time looking for that one.

4:19 am

a HUGE nudge, grin.

4:19 am

You're welcome. I'd love to take the credit but morewords had a lot to do with finding it.

4:20 am

as Ata always says, that is research, Haz.

4:20 am

Absolutely.

4:28 am

Oooh. An 8 just popped out at me. :-)

4:28 am

wow wtg Soodle! No such luck here so far.

4:28 am

Okay, I'm going to do something even more useful than this. Enjoy the grid and hope you get through this weather safely.

4:28 am

Ch, sprite.

4:29 am

Take care, Haz. Keep warm.

4:29 am

bye Haz, have a good day and try and stay warm!

4:29 am

thanks Soodle

4:29 am

Will do! Bye!

4:31 am

ah got it, great! Thanks again.

4:31 am

Like Haz, I better go and get things done. 81 left for later. Take care, Sprite. See you soon ((()))

4:32 am

bye Soodle, all the best. *hugs*

HUGS SOODLE

4:33 am

hello lady

Hello dear Sprite.

4:34 am

how are you, hun?

Very good. How is it all at your end?

4:38 am

I got the flu, but otherwise ok. Recuperating now.

:( Sprite

4:40 am

bad resistance... the kids bring home the viruses and I get ill. But I will try and walk Terra later on today, so things are improving!

Do you have snow?

4:42 am

lots of it. And ice underneath.

O please be careful

4:44 am

I will! I will use my walking stick and I will stay close to home. Terra can do the running for both of us ;)

O better Idea. Sled and hitch Terra up

4:44 am

lolllllll!

I am just looking at my b.fs cousins photos. The girl loves to be orange. Bless her

4:47 am

orange is a wonderful colour.

Not as a fake tan colour

4:48 am

I love orange in combination with reds and browns.

As a colour yes on person as a tan no

Sprite you able to hop on FB for a minute?

4:49 am

ouch, no, not as a tan. Makes you look like you ne4 your liver checked.

4:49 am

4:51 am

Thanks Sprite. Stop me from putting Purge in again and again

4:56 am

lol I am right with you there.

Driving me nuts

5:02 am

6:43 am

sami, where are you

6:43 am

raofl!

6:44 am

Canberra, Australia

6:44 am

ruby, I thought that was the reaction I would get but I do hope you are both okay.

6:44 am

if they can hold onto your rain, that would be a good thing, no, sami?

6:45 am

ty annie, you know me very well!

6:45 am

6:45 am

6:50 am

6:51 am

BTW - here in Toronto Ontario Canada we have no snow but we know it's coming

ruby, is that much snow usual for you?

6:52 am

no, this is the most and the earliest, in the 13 winters I've lived here

I am so glad I don't live in a snow belt area...... Buffalo got pounded yesterday a bit over 2 feet

6:54 am

lh

people were stranded on the highways for hours

6:54 am

dont mind me

6:55 am

I know NoNo - people had to sleep in their cars. The highway is open this am

6:55 am

"lae effect snow", here it is just freakish

6:55 am

lake*

6:56 am

We don't get a lot of snow in Toronto which is right across the lake from Buffalo. All the snow falls in Buffalo.

6:56 am

I think it's time for a nap in front of the fire! Dinner is already cooking in the over (house has no central heating, so cooking helps)

6:56 am

oven*

yes mrs, it goes mostly south and east of the lake

6:56 am

stay warm ruby

6:56 am

Toronto sends its snow to Buffalo and Oswego

yes stay warm ruby!

6:57 am

enjoy your nap and wake up to the sun

6:57 am

I thik it's Oswego that gets like 12 ft each winter and they make snow tunnels on the campus

6:57 am

hahahah.....

6:57 am

I like to think that we let them have our snow lol

yes Oswego always get hit hard

6:57 am

sun, appropriately, next Sunday -- maybe

6:58 am

that is very generous, mrs!

6:58 am

we think so!

6:58 am

7:12 am

Hey Eva, Happy Friday!!

7:13 am

Hi EvaN, did you get any good recipes from reading the cookbook yesterday

7:15 am

7:16 am

Miss Jackson...Ja5 if you're nasty.

7:16 am

Annie's is Ethan

7:17 am

ding ding ding!

hi Sally, Molly, Eva and Mark

7:18 am

Hey. How's the grid going?

7:18 am

Waving to Nono and Mark

first 150 words were a breeze!

7:18 am

Aloy liked the grid very much, not I

7:19 am

or not me

7:19 am

annie -- i marked a few... its tough with the hubs being such a picky eater -- lamb? out. creamy sauce? nope. i could flip past entire sections...heh

7:19 am

Molly, please change your icon. It's bugging me now!

7:19 am

EvaN, good for you for trying

Why should Molly change her icon?

Eva it's hard to deal with picky eaters

7:20 am

good morning everyone

hi ((Mom)))

7:21 am

It is really annoying now. It was like, a week ago.

7:21 am

Another ding, ding...Barbie, Midge and Skipper's friend.

7:21 am

((Nono)) good morning

7:21 am

(((Mom))) nice to see you

7:21 am

What's wrong with my icon?

Mark, some babblers have candles as a mark of respect for another Babbler's husband whose funeral wzs yesterday.

7:21 am

((Annie)) good morning. Always good to see you

There's nothing wrong with your icon Molly :-)

7:22 am

Nothing, but wasn't the funeral like a week ago?

no it was yesterday

7:22 am

The funeral was yesterday.

7:22 am

I feel my hand itching to give someone a slap.

No it was YESTERDAY.

7:22 am

im with you, there, haz.

7:22 am

((Haz)) welcome to my world

hello Haz!

7:23 am

Yesterday, Mark, and you are going to make no friends with that attitude.

7:23 am

I'm so sorry. I didn't mean it like that. *blush, sigh*

Ah, hallo Haz. Please reduce my blood pressure for me, after all you are married to a vet, you know about these things.

7:23 am

Haz, good afternoon

7:23 am

Hello! Indignant women un5....

ty for the clue :-)

7:24 am

I don't know what he (the vet)does, I take a wee blood pressure tablet every day.

7:24 am

even if it wasnt yesterday, who cares? its her icon, and she can put whatever she likes. my wedding was over a month ago -- shall i go change mine??

7:24 am

All that aside, I have no idea how a picture of a candle is annoying.

7:24 am

and I've had my dog for 9 years!!

7:24 am

I wish I could change my icon to a candle but, alas, still computer dumb

7:24 am

It has just been there for a while.

7:25 am

ata -- clearly you need to change your dog.

7:25 am

for that matter Thanksgiving was last week, I just like this one. :-)

7:25 am

and the aurora borealis has been there forever

lol Eva

7:25 am

clearly so :D

7:25 am

So, at the end of the day, when all's said and done, and not to labour the point, Mark, it's staying until Mollly wishes to change it.

7:25 am

Mark, I changed my icon four days ago when I heard the news about LBV's husband. "A while"???

7:25 am

hello friends. I am having a SUCK PILL of a week.....couldn't wait to see all of you today, the blog always cheers a girl up....

7:25 am

sorry, spangle. you gots ta go!

My icon hasn't changed for months. If you want a fight you've come to the wrong place.

7:26 am

do you need to change your husband already do you think???

good morning Trif!

7:26 am

Hi Trif, sorry about your pill

7:26 am

Spangle's staying put as well.

7:26 am

ata, hon, ive been trying to change him for years. ;)

7:26 am

Hello, Trif.

7:26 am

Morning Trif.

7:26 am

lmao :D

7:26 am

Okay. I'm sorry. Anyway, I must go. It is time for school. See you later everyone.

Ah, school. Thought so.

7:27 am

hey

7:27 am

Bye, Mark. You'll learn from school and you'll learn from us as well.

7:27 am

rut-roh... trif brought another candle icon into the chog. here we go!

7:28 am

hey, Car had the first one, and I think I had the second

7:28 am

plus, my candle is burning today for what used to be my life.

7:28 am

I have a happy story for you all ...

7:28 am

oh dear, Trif

7:28 am

oh, crap, now I have to go to the PB. figures

7:29 am

I think candle should be a PB-free word today.

oh thank you so much Trif! Have a free get-out-of-PB card. I've been looking for that ca word for ages.

7:29 am

Stay here, Trif, otherwise we'll all be in there with you.

do tell Ata

7:29 am

And the one who makes them is there.

7:30 am

there was a little cat at a shelter in Astoria, and the little cat was going to be put down because she had a congenital back problem and her back legs don't work properly. Then came along my best friend and her husband, and the little cat now has a new home with their other cats

I'm ahead of you Haz :-)

7:30 am

she is greatly loved, purrs like a chainsaw and kneads everything she can get her little paws on :)

7:30 am

Ata, what a great story

7:30 am

no worries, trif. we just had a young babbler on a moment ago who seemed to think he could tell people when it was time to change their icon. apparently molly's candle was "annoying."

Lovely story Ata.

aweeee, bless your friend Ata!

7:31 am

Sally, I read that initially as 'I'm afraid of you, Haz'. I didn't know whether to be pleased or not.

7:31 am

<------- afraid of haz.

7:31 am

yes, I know eva, I saw....I love you all, but i am thinking I i will leave now. I just am not in a good mood today, and can't seem to keep my mouth shut, and don't want my shitty chi to ruin the day

rofl Haz.

7:31 am

and there's a picture of her :)

7:32 am

(I'm doing my patented 'dont' mess with me' shoulder shrug.

7:32 am

(((((((trif)))))))

7:32 am

she's 5 months old and going to be called BeeBee :)

Sorry Trif, try to have a better day

7:32 am

Trif, come back later when you're feeling more like yourself.

7:32 am

((((trif)))

oh she is such a pretty cat,Ata!

7:33 am

I should think you won't be seeing me for a while, then, haz. but thanks

7:33 am

((((Trif)))))

7:33 am

Trif......call me.

7:33 am

she's a gorgeous baby! so lovey. and she can run and jump, just a bit awkwardly and her back legs dont have much strength

7:34 am

(((Trif)))

Ata, slightly worried that you have a picture of a cat alongside a recipe for spinach balls.

Oh Trif, so sorry you're having a rough time.

7:35 am

(((Trif))) please stay

7:36 am

I've a feeling it's something more than indignant women of babble can cure. I'm sorry you're so upset, Trif.

7:36 am

better tham fur balls :D

7:37 am

Trif, would you feel better if you stayed and "spoke" to us?

7:37 am

**changed by icon** more fitting to the weather we will be having

7:38 am

Hii

7:38 am

what a wonderful story Ata, and good afternoon

7:38 am

Candy.

7:38 am

hwai.

7:38 am

LOL

7:38 am

LOL

7:39 am

Hi Sheimi and Julciia

7:39 am

dundun

7:39 am

Hi Mom

7:39 am

the shelter said she was unadoptable. does she look unadoptable? lol

7:39 am

Hi mom

7:39 am

:D

No Ata, I would have taken her on myself.

7:39 am

me too!

absolutely not Ata, I would have taken her in a heartbeat

7:40 am

**oops, changed it again to today's weather

hi sheimi and Julciia

7:40 am

I like coconuts

7:40 am

annoying shelters. well that's one unadoptable kitty very happy at least :)

7:40 am

Hi Nono.

7:40 am

Hi Nono

7:40 am

I would have taken the dear

very apt Mom

Taken her into the PB?

7:41 am

thanks Nono

7:41 am

Julciia is my sister :3

my friend once adopted a little dog they said would not live a full year, She has had it now for about 6 years!

7:41 am

Sheimi is my sister :3

Oh, just found the cu 7 which means a well-fitting bra.

7:42 am

Well fitting trees

7:42 am

how wondrful Nono! shows what love and attention can do

7:42 am

I like well fitting trees Yay

7:42 am

giggles

7:43 am

giggles

7:43 am

sally, funny clue

I assume, she says, apropos of nothing, that a lot of schools are shut today because of the weather.

7:43 am

yes .......

7:44 am

nono my granddad is younger than you

probably so Sally

7:45 am

:)

7:45 am

I am quite sure I do not know how there can be 28 P words here

7:45 am

Mom youre older than my gran how is that possible

7:46 am

I am just lucky I guess

Mom, I have 24 of them and only one would i consider uncommon

7:46 am

Nono why are you so old

7:46 am

Because one of them is an Indian turban, Mom, it might not be in your vocabulary. It looks like the coming together of a dog and a singular trousered work garment. (pu7/44)

7:46 am

thanks Nono, maybe I will concentrate on those for a while

7:46 am

*snorfle*

7:47 am

will work on that Haz

There is a very apt pr 4/5

nice clue Haz! I didn't have that one

7:49 am

Glad it worked, Nono.

7:49 am

have the dog part, working on the other part

Mom the work garment would work very well for a farmer

7:50 am

dung****

7:50 am

Think of trousers with bibs. Maybe you call them something different in the States.

7:50 am

thanks Annie

Must just pop casserole in oven, brb

7:50 am

Thanks Haz

7:50 am

we call them overalls

7:51 am

Sally, what kind of casserole are you baking? I just love casseroles

7:51 am

Mom, didn't people used to refer to jeans as dung***** a long time ago?

7:51 am

You're welcome, Mom.

7:51 am

I was just thinking of asking her that, Annie

7:51 am

maybe so, but we never did

7:51 am

Mom will know. She's older than *everyone*

7:52 am

Even older than me...LOL...did we get the A students today, the overachievers

7:52 am

in kindergarten my oldest told the teacher it was my birthday and she asked him how old I was and he said "older than dirt"

7:52 am

LOL

Back. Oh, it's a beef casserole. Had bread in oven earlier so was waiting for it to cool a bit. Beef, onion, mushrooms, carrots, tin tomatoes, seasoning. Long slow cooking, will last us at least two days!

7:53 am

The Chuckle Sisters seem to have left the building.

7:53 am

love that name Haz

7:53 am

my daughter once asked my "did they have birthdays back when you were growing up?"

7:53 am

sounds delicious Sally

7:53 am

*me

7:53 am

((Une)) good morning

7:53 am

:-)

Just remember girls, with age comes wisdom :-)

7:54 am

Who are the Chuckle Sisters? They sound funny!

7:54 am

I like that, The Chuckle Sisters

7:54 am

hey, mom, just saw the we're gonna have several days of major cold next week!

lol Une. I once famously asked my mother, "were you pretty when you were young?". Double whammy that.

7:54 am

And with wisdom and that well fitting bra cu7, what can we not do?

7:54 am

Hi Une

7:54 am

oh, sally! LOL

7:54 am

hey, annie :-)

7:54 am

oh Sally

7:55 am

howdy, haz

7:55 am

Une, cold here as well. Are you getting snow tomorrow?

7:55 am

Hello, Une.

7:55 am

hope not! I'm driving a leg of a rescue dog transport from Nville to Cookeville -- 4 dogs!

You know, for a moment there I stopped at the word "dog" and thought you were talking about the leg of a dog.

7:56 am

oh dear, how far is Cookeville from you?

7:56 am

LOL!!

7:56 am

lol Sally

7:56 am

takes about an hour, 10 minutes

7:57 am

be safe

7:57 am

so did I sally!

7:57 am

will do! :-)

7:57 am

off to pick up donated food for soup kitchen -- good to see everyone -- byeee *poof*

bye Une

7:57 am

bye Une, do your good work

7:58 am

bye bye ((Une))

bye Une.

7:59 am

finally .... got the cu 7

7:59 am

Me too Mom, I had to work with it for a while after Haz mentioned it.

8:00 am

although I don't think there is such a thing. There is always something not quite right with bras

8:00 am

phone

8:00 am

Sally gave the bra clue originally.

8:00 am

hurry back Annie

8:01 am

I've switched to sports bras unless I'm wearing something that requires the real deal. The sports bras are much more comfortable.

8:01 am

*returns to chog and is utterly appalled that Molly STILL has a candle for her icon*

8:01 am

Yoo hoo...Eva...refresh...

8:02 am

lol Eva

8:02 am

Uh oh. I still have a candle. is this bad?

lol Eva. I do wonder if we should suggest to Dr_G that Babblers can't join the chog unless they are Pro.

lol, love it Molly!

8:02 am

lol Molly

8:02 am

I second, third and fourth that Sally.

8:03 am

oh, well POO! i cant see it clearly, and there is still a candle when i click on your profile...heh

That really would sort the problem.

8:03 am

it is a good idea but some people may not be able to afford the Pro cost

8:03 am

Eva, it says "Is my icon annoying you"

8:03 am

My suggestion had been that you can't join in the chat log until you've played maybe three or four days.

But I seem to remember it wasn't very much money.

8:04 am

Mom has a point. It would be punishing the good with the bad I guess.

8:04 am

hi all.

8:04 am

look at how long DFM has played before he went pro, and then there is Grant and Gran and so many others

8:04 am

what is the clue for cu 7 please.

hi mkg

That's a good idea Haz. Or maybe a little longer?

8:04 am

Hi MKG

8:04 am

nm got it.

8:04 am

i still firmly believe in the "ignore" button. anyone can join the chog, but if you annoy me, i click the button and youre invisible to me. yknow, kinda like in the real world.

8:04 am

I like your idea Haz. It's like message boards where you can't post until you've been a member for a period of time. Weeds out the one shot troll traffic.

8:04 am

Maybe. It would cut out some of the randomness, perhaps.

8:05 am

Afternoon all

8:05 am

Hello, FM!

8:05 am

I thought there was going to be some type of "ignore" on the new babble

Have you suggested it to Dr_G Haz?

8:05 am

Hi FMitch

and Hallo FM.

i like that idea the best Eva

hi FM

8:05 am

I did, Sally, right back when he was asking for suggestions for the new babble.

The ignore button will be on the new Babble.

8:06 am

Hello all, yawning after an extended nap.

8:06 am

i think he mentioned there may be...

8:06 am

I don't like the idea of not allowing perfectly nice non-pro people to join in the conversation, I thought the time thing would be a compromise.

8:06 am

Nap???? oh that sounds like a grand idea.

8:06 am

certainly makes us non-Pros feel unwanted...

8:07 am

:) Mom I needed it as I was up at 3.30am

8:07 am

it doesn't seem like there are as many trolls as there were when I started playing 5 years ago

8:07 am

Hi Pcal

8:07 am

Oh wow, FMitch, couldn't sleep?

8:07 am

Hi Mom

8:07 am

It's not the non-pro people we don't want, it's finding a way of stopping people from kind of divebombing the chat log, just because they can.

non-Pros certainly aren't unwanted, pcal, it's the kids who come on to make trouble that are unwanted.

hi Pcal

8:09 am

Oops...sorry. Maybe I should have read more before chiming in..hi Nono

**FIREWORKS **

8:09 am

For the amount of time and aggro we get from trolls these days compared with a few years ago it really is not an issue is it or have I missed seomthing?

8:09 am

Well done, Nono!

8:09 am

Congrats Nono and Hi pcal.

it really doesnt happen as much as it use to

8:09 am

congratulations Nono

Congrats Nono

8:09 am

yeah nono!

8:10 am

im back and congrats, nono

8:10 am

I remember when I first started it was rampant

Just wait till the Christmas holidays :-(

8:10 am

welcome back Annie

thanks everyone

wb annie

8:11 am

I remember when I first started there was a class that would come on enmasse and then the teacher would come on and apologize

8:11 am

I think seasoned babblers know to ignore/not feed etc, but there was a sustained campaign a few years ago from a school that still makes me shudder. It went on for days.

8:11 am

I remember that Annie

8:12 am

Haz, yes, that was it...a horror

8:12 am

ohhh heavens yes - that was a nightmare!

I told myself no loitering today, have to get things in order so I can decorate for the holidays. Therefore I bid you all a good day.

8:12 am

The language, the attitude etc was far beyond anything we had experienced before.

8:12 am

i havent had to dust off my troll repellent in quite some time...

8:12 am

((Nono)) enjoy your day

8:12 am

Have a great day, Nono

8:13 am

Bye Nono (standing for no slacking, no loitering)

8:13 am

My troll repellant is always at ha4

8:13 am

it is funny how some of the new babblers react these days to a slight misdemeanour.

8:14 am

I learned a few new words from that class.

8:14 am

I know, I tend to give the benefit of the doubt until the language starts.

8:14 am

code red is called at the drop of a hat :)

8:15 am

I know!

Or the insults Haz.

8:15 am

We sound like people going over war memories of the Blitz or something.

8:15 am

lol Haz

8:16 am

It did feel like that at times with some of them!

8:16 am

ugar

lol, just taken a cold call. Told him there are no computers in this house. That always throws them.

8:16 am

oops! sorry about that.

8:17 am

I think I am glad I missed it. Sounds horrible.

8:17 am

Hi Tee Jay

8:17 am

hi.

Promptly tries it. Not allows tee-jay

8:18 am

i know. too bad. it's such a pretty word, no?

8:18 am

any help with clue for the r words top right of grid? dont have any.

8:18 am

lol I love that Sally - I get the can I sell you a cheaper broadband service and I say I get mine for free from a client, that screws up their script.

8:18 am

I have ru 5 which refers to old stone writings

Like your icon, tee-jay, but not clear if that is your husband or one of your children.

I often say there is no-one of my name in this house.

8:19 am

Sally!!!

Sorry, just kidding.

8:19 am

haha. depends on the day, i guess..

lol tee-jay

8:20 am

: )

8:21 am

tu

8:21 am

ty i mean

8:21 am

I also have ru 4 which is carpet + a vowel; then the ru 5 is the latin plural of that word

ty for the ru clues

8:22 am

i would like to know how i am indoors, wearing a turtleneck sweater and long pants, with my space heater on, and i am STILL cold!

8:23 am

YVW

8:23 am

perhaps you need to have your thyroid checked Eva

8:23 am

because you haven't put enough layers on?

8:23 am

may I please have a clue for the bottom A?

8:24 am

aj4/9 car.e

8:24 am

aj4

8:24 am

aj4---aj , double vowel

8:24 am

TY!

8:24 am

i had it checked several years ago (for the same reason) and they said everything was fine. FM -- i forgot to mention that i have a cami on under the sweater. no tights under the pants today, though.

And an5

8:24 am

And an5/10

8:25 am

i brought flat shoes to wear, but that would involve removing my socks, which im just NOT inclined to do. so im hoping no one comments on my sneakers today...

8:25 am

I had better go and start my day. ((Hugs)) to all of you

8:25 am

awe EvaN!

8:25 am

doorbell, see you all later

8:26 am

Bye, Mom.

I was just going to say something about your sneakers, actually.

8:26 am

bye bye ((Annie))

8:26 am

Wasn't there 197 words yesterday too?

8:26 am

bye Annie

8:26 am

bye bye Haz, thanks for the help with cluing

8:26 am

Bye Mom!

8:26 am

im not even SUPPOSED to be using the space heater, since the doc thinks it is what was causing the rashes on my legs, but those seem to be gone, finally...and im cold, dangit!

8:26 am

No problem, Mom.

8:26 am

196 Bichon, hello and bye bye

8:26 am

bye bye ((Car.))

8:29 am

am surprised that the talk of undergarments didn't entice crossy out of his nest.

8:30 am

Eva...I can sit in a 70 degree room in sweat pants and sweat shirt under a blanket and shiver....doc says nothing wrong with my thyroid either....no idea why....so don't feel lonesome

8:31 am

Good morning all

8:32 am

Hello Mr Bob!

8:32 am

Morning Mr Bob.

8:32 am

my doc told me at one point to eat MORE salt. then i would retain more water, which would theoretically keep me warmer. i just glared at him.

8:32 am

my doc put me on diuretic (?) to not retain water

8:33 am

Good grief!

brb

8:43 am

Eva, for every you, there is a me. I run incredibly hot. When everyone else is cold, I am sweating.

8:44 am

good morning all

8:45 am

Hi Teach.

8:48 am

how can that be, when we live in the same area?? BBBbbbbbrrrrrrr..............

8:50 am

Don't know Eva. I'm still running around in my hoodie instead of a winter coat.

8:50 am

meanwhile, ive got 30 layers of clothes on, and i switch on my heated seats in the car...

8:53 am

good morning all

8:55 am

We'd talk about people like EvaN as being 'cold rife', i think it's a Scots expression.

8:55 am

Hello, Boobear.

8:57 am

Hi Haz

8:58 am

i just tell people im cold-blooded. ;)

8:59 am

But warm-hearted.

9:00 am

Anyway, time I was braving the elements to get the snow off my car and get some errands done. Enjoy the rest of the grid and stay as warm as you can.

9:00 am

Bye for now!

9:01 am

Ooo, Eva is reptilian. Mr. Foster best sleep with one eye open. : P

9:03 am

morning ladies hot and cold enough for ya? lol:))

9:03 am

g'day haz!

9:03 am

Eva and I are Yin and Yang.

9:04 am

Hi again!

9:04 am

molly -- we already have 4 lizards in the house. adding me to the list wouldnt turn him off. ;)

9:04 am

Hi Crossy!

9:04 am

Molly, Eva....who are the Chuckle Sisters?

9:04 am

The two trolls who were here earlier.

9:04 am

ask him to put a heat lamp over your side of the bed;)

9:05 am

OH...OK. When I asked before and no one answered....I was paranoid.

9:05 am

the Chuckle Brothers were a comedy duo in kiddies programmes over here. Haz adapted it

9:05 am

Oh hell CarEE, you didn't think Haz was talking about you and Trif did you?

9:05 am

Ummmm....

9:06 am

: P

9:06 am

I know, I know....stupid.

9:06 am

Tell Trif that good mojo is floating her way from Babbleland.

9:07 am

oh dear, oh DEAR. my mother just sent me an email -- her very dear friend's house caught fire yesterday. very badlay damaged. thankfully everyone is safe, but the house isnt doing so well.

9:07 am

Oh Eva, that's awful.

9:08 am

Hey. :D

9:08 am

as long as all are safe,that is what counts

9:10 am

((crossy))

9:10 am

i keep insurance for that..actually i think if a fire ripped through it it would probably do 20,000 dollars worth of improvements:/....wow! just looked outside and we go buried in snow last night:/

9:10 am

((FM))

9:10 am

though here*

9:11 am

I will tell her. She is going through a lot right now. Keep good thoughts for her.

9:12 am

good lord,big blaze indeed

9:12 am

9:12 am

9:12 am

i am sorry what has happened with trif?

9:13 am

Eva...glad to know all are safe. VERY scary indeed!

9:13 am

she has kept details to herself, crossy, but it seems shes not in a good place right now...

9:13 am

Crossy, I can't say. But she is hurting.

9:14 am

9:14 am

I wish her good thoughts

hi everyone :o)

9:36 am

being a dr is bad that way,you know many horrors that we can only guess at

9:36 am

no matter, no matter. :)

well think best outcome. could it also be from migraines?

9:36 am

molly what happened to your ca6? :o/ I was just getting used to it...

9:36 am

ty :)

9:36 am

I've had migraines for 30 yrs but dizziness--brief 1-2 second episodes--started in August. And as a doctor I know way too much.

9:37 am

erm... forgot that was a grid word. uhh... burning tallowstick? Yeah, let's go with that.

of course. scary thing.

9:37 am

Vestibular migraines are longer episodes.

9:37 am

How are you, Owl?? And your father?

9:38 am

ty dfm

9:38 am

Self diagnosis is scary... :o( Some things a doctor can keep from the patient to prevent him/her from worrying, but you can't do that for yourself...

9:38 am

and do not forget ca7,the person who makes those

i feel better. thye had him up in a chair and walking some so things must be better, no?

9:38 am

Nope, I cannot fool myself, and then further research and reading has me more spooked.

9:39 am

Yep, keep dad moving--prevent blood clots, make him cough + take deep breaths.

9:40 am

put the books down scrabbs,become just a patient or you will drive yourself nuts before the mri even comes

i havebeen reading some things that have begun to conern me, too. like only certain polyps are removed and not good ones.

damn google

9:40 am

TO What's wrong regarding your father?

9:41 am

worrying about the future of a potential outcome is like trying to empty the ocean with a teaspoon,you will not change the outcome of either one iota

9:41 am

My apologies to anyone I failed to respond to earlier with a Hi...had to go make breakfast. I seldom chat (chog?) since I can't seem to work the grid at the same time...always end up needing to go to be PB.

pneumonia. he says he feels much better now that they cut the breathing treatments, they gave him the shakes

and they would not cut them unless he was improving. he was nver in intensive car, either. so hopeing the best

hmm, it seems i have a wandering "e" :/

9:43 am

i am glad you da is recovering T.O,those mask treatments give my wife the shakes something fierce as well:/

epinephrine i guess? scrabs?

9:44 am

and it is hard on your head if you are prone to migraines

pca12, no worries

9:45 am

Hi pcal

9:56 am

Forty-Two? Babel Fish?

9:56 am

yup...42

9:56 am

Nope, never read that book, but now I understand Babel Fish, I guess.

9:56 am

Douglas Adams wrote the Hitchikers Guide to the Galaxy. Babelfish were small fish you would put in your ear and they would translate any language into your own.

9:56 am

Life the Universe and Parrots?

9:56 am

so long and thanks for all the fish

9:56 am

Aha, I have become smarter today! Woo hoo!

12:40 pm

I think I went to college in the wrong era

1:19 pm

((((RIVERDANCE)))) I missed you!

1:19 pm

hi stid :o)

1:19 pm

Hey ((Stid)) how are you?

1:19 pm

glantarell!!! ((more hugs)) is it warmer yet? I tried to email you but it bounced. my email is in my profile I think...

1:20 pm

I am very very sad... parenting an older child is very confusing and hard. I am worried about stidkid #1

1:20 pm

other than that, life is actually pretty good. how are you?

1:20 pm

yes it is warmer, just -5C tonight and I am wearing a satin coverlet to stop me shivering

1:20 pm

what is going on stid

1:20 pm

hey dfm - how is the obscure clueing going? *wicked mama look*

1:20 pm

it is when we stop worrying that we are in trouble, stid

1:21 pm

oh that is SUCH an improvement! LOL maybe tomorrow it will hit freezing.

1:21 pm

obscure clueing? Who's being obscure?

1:21 pm

how old is stidkid?

1:21 pm

then I must be doing it right, bugs... *sigh*

1:21 pm

i heard a rumour that we might be above frezing by one degree tomorrowQ!

1:21 pm

I have 2 teenagers - never easy - good thing you are a parent and not a friend - makes a difference

1:22 pm

he is making some decisions that are based on assumptions rather than facts and I fear he is going to be hurt. nothing he can't recover from, but I so want to shelter him a little more. he is in college glantarell...

1:22 pm

It's hard to let them spread their wings and fly on their own Stid.

1:22 pm

Glankid #1 is 27 and glankid#2 is 25 and i still worry about #2

1:22 pm

sometimes they need to make mistakes to learn - its harder on us Moms letting them make them

1:22 pm

we can only learn from our own mistakes

1:23 pm

yes Molly, it is. especially since he has a few limitations that other people don't. but denies he has them so doesn't take advantage of the supports that exist to help.

1:23 pm

STID!!!

1:23 pm

I like Dr Phil's idea that it is better for kids to try new things and fail when they are at home and have "a soft place to land" when they fall

1:23 pm

oh well...

1:23 pm

better to make lots of mistakes when you're young than leave them till you're much older LOL

1:23 pm

Amen. Everyone needs a soft place to land.

1:23 pm

ardilla!!! *checks for fever, cough, tired eyes and signs of illness* how are you?

1:24 pm

yes, I hope the soft place to land is something he will take advantage of... he keeps talking about leaving home. but no job! and few job-worthy skills.

1:25 pm

hence, my concerns.

1:25 pm

better, pretty stressed out and trying to relax/recover

1:25 pm

Stid, is trade school an option?

1:25 pm

everyone has dreams, stid and one day he will move out - only when the supports he needs are there without him recognizing them

1:25 pm

cough is still lingering

1:25 pm

(((ardilla))) hope you will be okay.

1:25 pm

try letting him leave for a week or so, he'll figure out how difficult it is to live without you :o)

1:26 pm

Pneumonia coughs take forever to get rid of.

1:26 pm

ardilla I have been at home almost all week with a bad cold and cough. I hope I didn't catch it from you! ;)

1:26 pm

trade school is not really an option -- physical limitations and an expectation to go to college will get in his way

1:26 pm

well at least you are on the mend.

1:26 pm

saw a real doc on monday and had another chest x-ray...no pneumonia...she didn't understand what my medic was doing...she gave me an inhaler

1:27 pm

Ah, I see.

1:27 pm

that's true dfm.

1:27 pm

stid - I am aware of the limitations, but sometimes you just have to let them find out for themselves what living in the "real" world is like. Our granddaughter is bipolar and moved out and back a few times before she found her feet.

1:27 pm

honestly, he is "free" to leave at any time -- but has no savings, no job, and not eligible to drive even if he had a car (no license)

1:27 pm

Stid, we may have to go down there and kick medic butt after all. : P

1:28 pm

oh oh... *packs bags with butt-kicking boots*

1:28 pm

had a major outage at work on thanksgiving and i'm the only one in my section so i've gotten nonstop calls from different agencies at all times of the day asking for updates

1:28 pm

thanks nan -- that is actually good to hear... he could do that.

1:29 pm

whiny dog in background...

1:29 pm

*sigh* he is picking up on my emotions I think.

1:29 pm

some guys in another section stayed behind and helped me fix it

1:30 pm

so i've been very stressed out for over a week while trying to recover from ??? now i finally have a breather

1:30 pm

:)

1:30 pm

good for them, ardilla! Will you make them supper once you feel better? so sorry you have to pick up the pieces

1:31 pm

the medic has me doing a 5-day blood pressure check...cuz everytime i go in there, my numbers are in the prehypertension range

1:32 pm

but i think the meds he's been giving me are raising my bp

1:32 pm

*!* ta da *!* - thanks for all the great clues :)

1:32 pm

just going to the surgery raises my bp

1:32 pm

YAY nan!!!

1:32 pm

woo hoo cybernan

1:33 pm

woot nan

1:33 pm

that could be -- or white coat hypertension from the stress of their ineptitude...

1:33 pm

YAY nan!

1:34 pm

ardilla I just copied your eggnog cake recipe for the staff party. It sound easy and good. Thanks

1:34 pm

i'm under 30...there should be nothing wrong with my BP

1:34 pm

stress, meds, family history ardilla?

1:34 pm

like diabetes there are a lot of factors

1:35 pm

congrats nan! :o)

1:35 pm

after 4 days of checks, my top number was in the 110-120 range, but the bottom number was between 50-90

1:35 pm

Yay Nan on finishing

1:35 pm

that's NOT high blood pressure, ardilla

1:35 pm

that doesn't sound too bad, ardilla

1:36 pm

top/bottom number? XoD yeah, that's not high at all...

1:36 pm

anything over 80 for a bottom number they worry about

1:36 pm

average is 85/130... I think...

1:36 pm

off to work for crossy tc all and happy babbling

1:36 pm

poof

1:36 pm

hi and bye crossy

1:36 pm

depends on age dfm

1:36 pm

mine was 148/92, last time, which is not so good!

1:36 pm

bye crossy :o)

1:36 pm

mom's mom has type 2, dad's dad had heart attack, both parents have nothing in their history

1:36 pm

average is 120/80

1:37 pm

bye crossy

1:37 pm

according to nih.gov "If your blood pressure is between 120/80 mmHg and 139/89 mmHg, then you have prehypertension. "

1:37 pm

hey cross and bye

1:37 pm

brb phone

1:37 pm

mine is 120/55 :o/

1:37 pm

luckily, he's not doing the checks

1:38 pm

younger stidkid. who DOES turn on the cell phone (but is at school...) LOL

1:38 pm

today was 119/90

1:38 pm

yes -- but I don't think you have reached middle or age, have you, dfm?

1:38 pm

I'm worried why there is such a huge difference between systolic/diastolic in mine :oS

1:39 pm

it's the 90, that is most important

1:39 pm

the better medic is TDY for another week

1:39 pm

there shouldn't be a 50% difference! >.>

1:39 pm

there is supposed to be a difference, dfm! one measures pressure during pumping, one measures pressure in the "tubes" when the pump relaxes.

1:39 pm

that was after sitting quietly for 15min

1:40 pm

off to get a coffee then back for a bit to clue

1:40 pm

feet flat on floor ardilla?

1:40 pm

hopefully, it will be lower on monday since this outage was fixed and i'll get some rest

1:40 pm

yeah, I know how BP works... but generally there isn't such a huge difference...

1:41 pm

yes, and back supported by chair back

1:41 pm

later nan...

1:41 pm

that should help a lot ardilla!

1:41 pm

my bp was very high then i cut out alcohol and started eating a dairy free diet and it came right down

1:41 pm

that was on my left arm, the right arm was 119/80 both with manual cuffs

1:41 pm

cut out alcohol - NEVER

1:41 pm

lol

1:42 pm

i drink rarely now

1:42 pm

intriguing, ardilla

1:42 pm

i still have the occasional tipple but not daily

1:43 pm

I don't drink much or often but (until I had kids anyway) my blood pressure was generally very low for my age. Nowadays it's pretty average

1:43 pm

still, I do worry a little because one side of my family has heart trouble later in life

1:43 pm

i had to get my bp and pulse checked 2x by the real doctor...the numbers concerned her

1:43 pm

I think less fat and more exercise is what I need -- something I plan to remedy as soon as we get to CA

1:44 pm

*Laughing at River*

1:44 pm

afternoon babblers!

1:44 pm

Hello Eva - I used you in a clue earlier so now we are all wondering what your ***ter belt looked like under your beautiful gown

1:44 pm

hey EvaN!

1:44 pm

hi EvaN! :o)

1:45 pm

the medic wonders if it's how i am naturally...my medical records haven't arrived here yet

1:45 pm

1:48 pm

i'm back

1:49 pm

1:49 pm

I have never actually been to san diego - - just Los Angeles while my grandmother was still alive. Not much reason to go that far south again any more. Pismo/Monterey on the coast are lovely though

1:49 pm

oh, dear, river! didnt wear a ***ter belt. just a ***ter around my leg... and even that annoyed the who-ha outta me!

1:49 pm

3:37 pm

Snap Champ!!

3:37 pm

3:37 pm

3:38 pm

Hi! Yes...can't get past the guy's name. really? a seller of ca6's? I didn't look it up yet.

3:41 pm

3:42 pm

oh yeah...that's what I thought it was! :)

3:42 pm

that clue confuses even me <.< I can define the word but wouldn't have gotten it from the definition

3:43 pm

3:47 pm

Joel ch****** Harris, author

3:47 pm

Ch8...wasn't that a character on Friends?

Soodle, I though your "Friends" clue was a great one!

3:47 pm

I thought we did that already? OR...you could say ca7 with an additional vowel for the second letter.

3:47 pm

Oops, already done.

3:47 pm

3:49 pm

the writer, Raymond Ch8 .. Farewell My Lovely, the Big Sleep .. Philip Marlowe's creator

3:49 pm

Ooo, good one Welki.

3:49 pm

Good one welki!

3:49 pm

I don't think you actually need to watch Friends. I think the names and characters sort of osmose into you conscienceness....

3:50 pm

<-- needs to osmose somewhere

3:51 pm

You going fishing, Welki?

3:51 pm

gu6 please anyone?

3:52 pm

CRAP...sorry, monkeying

3:53 pm

I have a renewed respect for my fellow Babblers who live in Canada and other cold climates. Sheesh.... Hats off to you guys...

3:53 pm

Round these parts we call gu6 shotcrete.

3:54 pm

Really? Not here. Interesting...

3:54 pm

and we LIKE it! well, except when you have to clear the snow off the driveway, and find a centimetre-thick layer of ice underneath...

3:54 pm

and by "find" I mean, finding it the painful way.

3:59 pm

hello, i'm back

3:59 pm

Hi Glant

3:59 pm

Hi Glan

3:59 pm

Hi soodlebum, molly

3:59 pm

second en6 anyone?

4:00 pm

Moll, I love your icon. I had to read back over to chatlog to get the full effect. Brilliant!

4:00 pm

en6 is to make soembody fell kindly towards you

4:00 pm

Have that one...the second?

4:01 pm

i'd love to flyfish in ireland ... now that would be wonderful :)

4:01 pm

There is another one...all engrossed in something.

4:01 pm

is t be comepletely absorbed by soemthing

4:01 pm

En plus RA 4/5

4:01 pm

GOT IT! ty...

4:01 pm

Soodle, right after that, when the trolls arrived, Mom changed her to troll dolls. : P

4:02 pm

oh i loved those troll dolls when i was a child

4:03 pm

Oh great, Moll. I can never understand why trolls are entertained in the chog. I adopt a Deaf/Blind attitude.

4:03 pm

Me too Glant. Remember braiding their hair? And making clothes for them. My friend and I made a house for ours out of a cardboard box.

4:03 pm

flyfishing in ireland in fine, flyfishing in wales is fantastic *ducking*

4:03 pm

oh yes, made clothes out of felt

4:04 pm

troll doll... braiding hair? o.0

4:04 pm

I don't get troll behavior either Soodle. I also wonder if there aren't a few people posting here under two different names.

4:04 pm

in wales, though, isn't it true that most of the flyfishing streams are controlled by private fishing clubs?

4:04 pm

oh, they were really cute - came in several sizes - fat feet, cure grins and hair in various colours

4:04 pm

(i loved troll dolls, too)

4:04 pm

yes almost all fishing in wales is controlled by licence

4:05 pm

Soodle putting her Tourism Ireland hat on.... Welki... flyfishing in Ireland would be great... with the added advantage of a minor

4:05 pm

but you can buy day/week licences

4:05 pm

Babble meet as well!

4:06 pm

of course tyou could do a celtic tour - there are ferries between ireland and wales LOL

4:06 pm

Now you are talking

4:06 pm

i am back again!!

4:06 pm

if only. i can't imagine how much a trip like that would cost ... and then the added expense of picking up guides in the pub to show us the good spots :)

4:07 pm

babble guides would be free LOL

4:07 pm

and they might even offer accommodation

4:07 pm

do you flyfish, glantarell? soodle?

4:08 pm

Welki, my son and heir is a keen fisherman. And my humble abode could accommodate a guest or two..... Sorry, I don't fish myself, but I would happily welcome any Babbler to my home!

4:08 pm

i don't flyfish any more - my father used to take me every saturday when i was a child to catch trout for tea, but I live in Brecon, and see flyfishermen in waders in the Usk through the spring and summer

4:09 pm

hello dear friends, I am here for a few minutes to say hello and thank you to all for your good wishes and candle icons - my husband's funeral was yesterday and I am just beginning to be able to think straight

4:09 pm

Golly Molly - Do you really think that established Babblers are trolling?

4:10 pm

So sorry to hear that news JBV

4:10 pm

i can tell you that the sight of me in waders would make a grown man pluck his eyes out

4:10 pm

((((JBV))))) Prayers out for you.

4:10 pm

((((JBV))))

4:11 pm

Moll, just read your profile - that is a wonderful philosophy - thank you

4:11 pm

ow. $1500 round trip to dublin

4:11 pm

(((JVB))) You are in my thoughts and prayers.

You obviously mean a lot to people here,JBV

4:11 pm

i would love a clue for en 6 21 first one.

4:11 pm

JBV, those words help me as I am dealing with loss also. I'm glad they helped you too.

4:12 pm

when you say trolling are we talking internet behaviour or fishing behaviour?

4:12 pm

it is a great comfort to have these virtual hugs - I love you all

4:12 pm

found the word. i saw it clued before but couldnt get it.

4:12 pm

does welki look wonderful in waders? ;-)

4:12 pm

Heaps and heaps of virtual hugs to JBV.

4:13 pm

oops wrong word. sorry dont have it. so if anyone has that first en 6 please clue it.

4:13 pm

hi JBV... sorry not to have known you before this... condolences for your loss :o(

4:13 pm

JBV, think of all the good thoughts and prayers headed your way as a magical blanket of comfort you can wrap around yourself.

4:13 pm

welki in wader looks like a pillsbury doughboy in brown

4:13 pm

en6 - to be engrossed or en6 to be loved

4:14 pm

ROFL welki

4:14 pm

isnt that the second one glant?

4:14 pm

Does Welki look good in waders? Ask all the eyeless men running blindly around the chog......

4:14 pm

JBV - always alive and loved in your memories. Hang on to those good memories.

4:15 pm

sometimes i think i even scare the fish

4:15 pm

got it.

4:15 pm

ty

4:15 pm

JBV So sorry for your loss

4:15 pm

fish are fickle- my father taught me to tickle trout - he was quick enough to catch them but I wasn;t. takes a lot of patience

4:16 pm

any clues for et 6?

4:16 pm

Are you still on line, JVB?

4:16 pm

a gas...

4:17 pm

hmm, I should leave before I miss my bus :o/ bye all

4:17 pm

patience and finesse ... it's the finesse i have issues with (fishing and in life, in general *lol*), but i catch my share :)

4:17 pm

bye, dfm

4:17 pm

bye dfm

4:18 pm

although, i think women generally pick up flyfishing quicker than men do ... something about the whip-like motion of the line ;)

4:18 pm

Jeepers, Welki.. Just saw your post.. $1,500 to dublin? Crikey.

4:18 pm

oh dear - that brought a picture of a woman in thigh high leather boots etc

4:19 pm

Soodle, to answer your earlier question, no. I don't think established Babblers are posting as other people. I do think the person who cracked on my icon this morning is though.

4:19 pm

i suppose they'd be ~~haute couture waders~~

4:19 pm

ROFLMAO

4:19 pm

i don't understand "cracked on your icon" molly

4:20 pm

Oh, thats horrible, Moll. Its almost an invasion of your Babble privacy, isn't it?

4:20 pm

i think that, if you did a search on women flyfishing, you'd find dozens of photos of barely naked women in the water with a fly-rod (and i really do mean fishing rod)

4:21 pm

what?

4:21 pm

i don't get cracked on your icon either

4:21 pm

what happen?

4:21 pm

(((Soodle rapidly retracts the invitation for Welki to stay chez Soodle)))

4:22 pm

giggle - glantarell doesn;t retract

4:22 pm

I was told this morning that my candle icon, that I put up out of respect for JVB's loss, was annoying and told to take it down.

4:23 pm

how rude!

4:23 pm

why have i been retracted? *unpacking*

4:23 pm

surely your own icon is your onw business?

4:23 pm

who told you that?

4:24 pm

I don't want to start name calling Welki. It's in the chat archives around 8 this morning.

4:24 pm

WHAT? Hate when I pay attention and find out someone was rude to someone else...

4:24 pm

as long as you icon meets minimal pg13 standards who cares?

4:24 pm

soodlebum'sicon is lots of candles - has comment nbeen made about that?

4:24 pm

Hello jmc

4:24 pm

Jeepers, Welki. You are still very welcome here. As long as you keep your clothes on...

4:24 pm

hi lynxx let me go put some clothes on!

4:24 pm

Soodle, do peole celebrate Hanukkah in Ireland?

4:24 pm

you couldn't find a more modest welki

4:25 pm

aaah, the irosh are prudes LOL

4:25 pm

Was the icon a 'moving/flickering one Molly - perhaps that is why

4:25 pm

Nope, I don't post those kind. I don't even think you can here.

Just the Jewish ones, Bichon!

4:25 pm

Is it meant to hypnotize? Doesn't take much!

4:26 pm

ty for et clue. got it.

4:26 pm

Lots of non-Jewish people celebrate it here. More holidays the better

4:26 pm

some people have posted moving icons but they only move when they are big

4:26 pm

any clues for fi 5 please?

4:26 pm

which one?

4:26 pm

refresh -- the winning outfit is my icon now

Really Bichon? I've never met a non-Jew that celebrated Chanukah

4:26 pm

You can Molly, but they are very distracting. Unless your photo was abnornmally large and making the chat all jumpy - then the person who told you that should go jump

4:27 pm

which one? the first is fi + you watch movies at the ***ema

4:27 pm

Of course people celebrate Hanukkah her. People in Ireland celebrate EVERYTHING. If the cat has kittens, we celebrate. If its raining, we celebrate. If its snowing, we celebrate..

4:27 pm

In the US, because there are so many Jews, the edges of these holidays are blurred

4:27 pm

BBL to finish...

4:27 pm

hi soodle, I'm back

4:27 pm

That's what I love so much about Ireland

4:27 pm

ty champ that was it.

4:28 pm

hi jbv -- sorry to hear of your loss -- don't let my ca6ss let you think otherwise

4:28 pm

fi5 another new word - goish you are all helping my education

4:28 pm

My d.i.l. who is in no way Jewish, celebrates Hanukkah. She's buyig a menorah even as we speak

4:28 pm

need fr 5 16 the only one worth 16 points please.

4:28 pm

what is the deal with celebrating hanukah when not jewish? i dont get it.

4:29 pm

Was the ceremony nice, JVB.. Could you tell you tell us about it?, if its not too painful...

4:29 pm

it seems a tad rude to adopt a religions holiday without the religion -- is she going to sing baruch adoni?

I don't mean to interject myself - but I guess I am! Molly!! That guy - how old is he anyway?? - had no right to tell you to do anything, and I REALLY wish you hadn't changed your candle! He was being ridiculous - in fact, I find it hard to believe he was even serious - who does that????

and, I'm very sorry to hear about JVB's loss...

4:29 pm

Schools tend to celebrate a lot of holidays and kids come home and want to know why they don't celebrate it

4:29 pm

do i have to read the silly archive to find out who this was?

4:30 pm

I celebrate Hanukkah, I am Jewish, but totally an agnostic

4:30 pm

fr5.16 fr & *** Sharples from Coronation Street

some kid names Mark Jones jmc

4:30 pm

oh he is new-- just started yesterday

4:30 pm

soodle, I don't mind - my husband was so very well loved and respected - we had over 200 people at the funeral, all saying such wonderful things about him that I will always remember - I am fine, just exhausted

4:31 pm

new to manners too obvfiously

4:31 pm

too bad he seemed ok last night -- maybe he didn't understand the society of babbleland

well, i would put the big X on him if I were any of you. clearly, an idiot.

4:31 pm

{{{JBV}}} sounds like it was lovely

4:31 pm

i just read the chat from that exchange .. he starts off fine at 7:12, makes the remark at 7:19 (i think he just didn't think about what he was saying) and apologized twice for it after that

4:31 pm

what is this? A newbie who put his foot in his mouth

4:31 pm

he was a former school principal, school district administrator and very active in community affairs. I also just retired from a school administration job so we have a large network of support - plus, I have my Babble support!

4:32 pm

well if he apologized then let it go

4:32 pm

(still doesn't give him latitude to instruct anyone, but what the hey, maybe he's a young kid)

yes welki -but the fact that Molly DID change her sweet icon is upsetting. I want her to put it back! :)

4:32 pm

JVB... that must be such a comfort to you. I am so sorry for your loss, but so happy that he was well remembered and well loved. This will stay with you for a long time to come.

4:32 pm

i like her new one saint :-D

4:32 pm

anyone have the first two UP's?

4:33 pm

*echoes soodles' sentiments*

4:33 pm

4:33 pm

4:34 pm

4:39 pm

4:39 pm

You didn't have to tell me that Welki. That was obvious...

4:39 pm

whoo hooo kazzer

4:39 pm

thanks for all your help doing the grid today

4:39 pm

soodle, I was so very sorry to hear about your pup -- tons of hugs to you

4:39 pm

Congrats Kazz!

4:40 pm

Oh Une. thank you. I was immersing myself in

4:40 pm

hi Une

4:40 pm

(my dad used to say that there are shanty irish, lace curtain irish and the kind of irish we are .. pigShit*

4:40 pm

hey, lynxxx :-)

4:40 pm

oh soodle, what happened? (with the pup, I mean)

4:40 pm

Babble. But I am typing from a very sad house

4:40 pm

soodle how could you forget the welsh in your celtic cousin - and as i have irish & scottish blood along with italian that makes me a complete mongrel LOL

4:41 pm

my m-i-l called the kennedys lace curtin irish and looked down her patrician boston nose at them

4:41 pm

Oh, JBV, compared to your loss, ours is trivial, but our little dog, Buster was knocked down and killed on

4:41 pm

Wednesday.

4:42 pm

oh so sorry soodlebum

4:42 pm

glan you would feel right at home in the US then as I am odd person out because in spite of 6 generations i am practically pure blood

4:42 pm

oh how sad soodle I am so sorry

4:42 pm

oh, I'm so sorry to hear that Soodle, that's very sad

4:43 pm

Was Buster a Jack Russell?

4:43 pm

As I said, JBV, trivial compared to your loss.

4:43 pm

When I was in Ireland there were all these little jack Russells running around in the road

4:44 pm

hmm i am just changing things on my profile - i think

4:44 pm

yes, soodle, but also we were more or less preparing ourselves, while yours I'm sure was a terrible shock

4:44 pm

I swear they looked both ways when they crossed

4:44 pm

No Bichon. He was a pure mongrel. We got him from the resuce centre in June. He was so exuberant (sp?)

4:44 pm

my husband had had serious medical issues for many years and had been hospitalized twice in November - that's why you haven't seen me around here lately

4:45 pm

My girls have photos of him, a half hour before he died. Flying around in the snow, and just so full of life. It was a huge shock to my girls.. just how fragile life is. :-(

4:46 pm

that is hard JBV you really never entirely prepare for it i know and you are already worn out from the preliminaries of a long illness

4:46 pm

Sorry to hear about your pupster Soodle. I know how much a little guy can mean to a family

4:46 pm

Thank you.

4:46 pm

oh soodle that is especially poinant

4:46 pm

very true, jmc

4:48 pm

okay to change the subject so we don't all drown in our te4/4s. . . my big job interview is monday

4:48 pm

7.5 hours from meathe to brecon

4:48 pm

I'm home... and hi JBV :o)

4:48 pm

(btw soodle, my dad's family's from cork)

4:49 pm

7.5 hours well spent

4:49 pm

Oh, JMC, I had no idea you were changing jobs... What is the job your going for?

4:50 pm

i am changing my world saving venue to a national (or possibly an international) quaker org. I have applied for two jobs (well more but I didn't make the first cut)

4:51 pm

my icon is now my interview clothes -- thank you all for voting but the polls are now closed

4:51 pm

very exciting, jmc -- we'll all be crossing fingers and toes on Monday! :-)

4:51 pm

and if neither of those jobs pan out I will do something else

4:51 pm

Aside... Welki. I was born and bred in Ireland. I know people from the 32 counties of ireland. But Cork is where the best people in the world come from. (and I am not just saying that.... the invitation has been re-issued, now I know you have Cork blood...P)

4:51 pm

are you considering moving to another city, jmc?

4:51 pm

too hard to babble with crossed fingers

4:52 pm

alas I may have to move to quaker mecca

4:52 pm

*shudders* philly

4:52 pm

i interview well, but hate them with a passion. 'tell me about a time when,' 'describe a circumstance in which...' *blech*

4:52 pm

umm, checking my world atlas,.... where is that?

4:52 pm

but i am having dinner with TO and possibly others

4:53 pm

oh, Philly - closer to NJ - maybe we can meet sometime

4:53 pm

cork? in ireland, jbv

4:53 pm

no, welki, I meant quaker mecca :)

4:53 pm

up to having dinner Monday night? where in nj?

4:53 pm

I didn't get those questions during my interviews... :o/

4:54 pm

no they will ask me if i like to do public speaking and what is my experience in raising $$$

4:54 pm

no, dear, not Monday night - I'm too wrapped up in my immediate to-do list, but soon, I promise

4:54 pm

bye soodle!

5:02 pm

*does a quick celtic dance*

5:02 pm

5:04 pm

Soodle left utterly speechless by JMC's celtic dance. Poofing before speechlessness is noticed by fellow babblers. Poink

5:16 pm

good night, soodle and thanks for that very enticing invitation -

5:24 pm

5:26 pm

5:29 pm

5:29 pm

sorry dfm

5:30 pm

poor dfm *offers tea*

5:30 pm

I absolutely cannot see the 20 words it says I have left to find

5:30 pm

not bad, wild. tired, but not horrible. stidkids are where they are supposed to be at the moment!

5:31 pm

I have 61 to go.

5:31 pm

mmm, tea ^.^

5:32 pm

tea has been what I've been wanting when I get home every day ... very comforting

5:33 pm

I really like tea.... :-D

5:33 pm

I get tea at the office... but usually make a cup or pot of good quality looseleaf tea when I get home...

5:34 pm

I adore tea.

5:34 pm

ga

5:34 pm

go flosey go!

5:35 pm

hi stid, just sat down and getting ready to go!!\

5:35 pm

:-D

5:35 pm

5:35 pm

hi flo

5:35 pm

mmmm. what did you make?

5:36 pm

yes, haven't found a word here that I could use

5:36 pm

apple crumble, jilli

5:36 pm

oops, stid

5:36 pm

jilli on my mind

cu 7/40 please?

5:38 pm

cu7/40 is the ore from which we get the metal used in wires

5:39 pm

she's okay, yes?

5:39 pm

hey Luv!

hi stid!

5:39 pm

wow, thanks dfm, interesting, have the word, but would not have found it from your clue, would have googled from there

5:39 pm

oh yes, stid, she's just very busy

5:40 pm

thanks for the CU

5:40 pm

busy is okay then. I am glad I am not retired... LOL

5:40 pm

wire-metal (in latin) as a prefix, ore ending as a suffix? Would that be a better clue?

5:41 pm

I've often said the same stid, retired people are free to volunteer EVERYWHERE!!!!!

5:41 pm

(and they do!)

5:41 pm

and man o man, there's no end

5:41 pm

I've just wangled my way out of everything!

5:42 pm

*yawn* I have to stay awake and alert long enough to pick Tom up at 5... *yawn*

5:42 pm

good for you flosey! *stern mama look* shouldn't overdo.

5:42 pm

when are you going to see grands again? that cutie pie on the mainland for instance?

5:43 pm

was over there for a few days, stid, went on the 25th, back 30th

5:44 pm

oh! that's nice -- how are they?

5:44 pm

"punane" inherently silly word jokes?

5:45 pm

great thanks stid - he has managed to get his little body through the corner of the playpen, but couldn't get head through!! had to be very stern there - but he does understand NO

5:45 pm

oh my! that's a scary thing. Hope he will remember that lesson!

5:46 pm

*practicing stern grandmother looks* (just in case I need them within the decade)

5:46 pm

Heyas kids ..

5:46 pm

hi tor :o)

5:46 pm

there's always someone there when he uses it - at home he has his own room with bars across the doorway, he can watch his mom from there

5:47 pm

TOR!!! *faint*

5:47 pm

Don't think I've met you before...

5:47 pm

good. our homes have never been set up so the kids were able to be in a different room when they were awake. Too many small rooms, strange corners, etc.

5:48 pm

tor, dfm --- dfm, tor.

5:48 pm

woohoo firebirds

5:48 pm

5:53 pm

hello imp and all

6:02 pm

hey TO!

6:02 pm

6:02 pm

hi TO! :o)

6:02 pm

That is a pretty icon, TO

6:03 pm

Heya TO

ty stiddy

gane

well with 49 to go, i am stumped

I am incupated.

6:07 pm

hi Kap! :o)

I have40 left, and am thoroughly incupated. and franic.

Hi there.

Are you canated too?

hi kap

One of these days I'm going to end up i the PB box

Happy everything!

how many up words today pls?

197.

6:10 pm

3 up words TO

6:10 pm

upwards? I'm not sure, it's kinda hard to tell, TO...

seems like it *sigh*

6:10 pm

at least, that's what I have

Oh- I didn't see the up. I'm a little under the weather.

6:11 pm

how can you tell which word is up?

that is really an intersting expression. how can one be either under or over the weather?

6:11 pm

hi cos! :o)

Well, say here is the weather:---------------------

6:12 pm

TO If you're flying too high, all weather would be under you...

That's if I'm feeling good. But if I'm sick, I'm under it.

6:13 pm

I call my umbrella "The Weather", so when it's raining, I'm under The Weather.

6:14 pm

hi herin! :o)

Hi DF

"Flying too high with some guy in the sky is my idea of nothing to do"

"But I get a kick out of you."

6:15 pm

the first fi5?

It's sort of like the fi word you just wrote, but with a lisp

6:16 pm

I'd clue it but again nobody would get it :o(

No, that was in another grid.

Sorry.

my yam is possessed

Wow I can barely read the grid today. stupid hayfever

6:17 pm

ah u had me typing in firth a few times lol

6:17 pm

by who, TO? o.0

I really am not feeling so good. Sorry.

i am nuking a yam and it is howling

by satan, of course

Even the chog, usually so coherent, is not making sense to me.

6:17 pm

oh its not a problem. i hope you feel better soon

I yam what I yam.

i mean, it is wild/

6:18 pm

Do you have the ri5, cos?

i also tried kings hawaiian bread tonight. i hated it. waste of money

TO thought about stabbing the yam first?

6:19 pm

Would stabbing a yam exorcise the possessing spirit? o.0

lol is that a cooking tip or should i drive a silver stake through it?:D

6:20 pm

found it!

I think that it would give the yam air holes to breath out of. Either that or I find that with cooking things that make weird noises get stabbed to make sure they are really dead

ROFL

In this house the theory of repair is more duct tape or bigger hammer

6:23 pm

what if the problem is that there is too much duct tape? :o/

seriously how many up words?

6:25 pm

the first fr 5/18?

Then take some off and get stronger tape

6:29 pm

NM

SOrry

Hi TO

6:36 pm

I do that at breakfast and lunch

I am just floating along here

6:38 pm

this yam could be better

6:40 pm

are you eating it plain?

no salt/butter

6:41 pm

maybe a little brown sugar?

all of a sudden my appetite is back

6:41 pm

Maple syrup and butter TO!!!

6:41 pm

that is a good thing

ty molly. i think half is enough. i will save room for dessert

6:42 pm

((Molly)) I think your icon is irritating me, please change it, it has been here since this morning rofl

6:42 pm

What's for dessert?

6:43 pm

Am back for a bit. The first 3/4's of this puzzle was much easier!

yeah, me too

6:43 pm

Hi Champ

6:43 pm

Mom!! Nice try, but you couldn't be rude if you tried. : D

6:43 pm

hello!

6:43 pm

hi champ! i think a ganola bar

6:44 pm

I'm glad you're feeling better TO.

6:44 pm

Fiber One...good for many things! ;)

6:44 pm

I have a batch of chocolate peanut butter oatmeal treats in the fridge. I will gladly share

never! there are blogs devoted to them

6:44 pm

to what? Fiber ONe?

what are they? are they buckeyes?

6:45 pm

no, I haven't made the buckeyes yet. THese are made with margarine, sugar, cocoa, milk, oats and peanut butter and you drop them on wax paper and put them in the fridge until they are set

6:45 pm

Hoo-ah! Mom made treats!

are they cookies?

6:46 pm

like a candy cookie

6:46 pm

Are they going in the PB?

hi all

yes to champ. they have terrible effects.

hi barb

6:46 pm

you cook everything but the oats and peanut butter and then mix them in. delicious

6:46 pm

I know! My goofball 24 year old son ate 3 without looking at the label first. He couldn't leave the house most of the day!

6:46 pm

Hi Barb's Horses

now my dad claims no ill effects at all.

6:47 pm

I have mixed up refrigerator cookies and chocolate chip cookies but they are not baked

6:47 pm

Well, one at a time, maybe not. Although you probably don't want to be around too many peeps right after...

6:47 pm

I can put the dough in the pb

6:47 pm

Dearest Mom, report to the PB for saying candy. I said it too so I'm right behind you and the treats.

Hi molly

hi Champ

YUM! dough!

6:48 pm

off I go. But we will have all the treats Molly.

6:48 pm

Hi Herin.

hmmm, i smell a de5

hi herin

6:49 pm

Mom and I will see y'all later.

6:49 pm

I imagine when I wake up in the morning there will be spoonfuls missing in the choc chip dough

6:49 pm

Hi all! DAng...need to head to PB myself. What to give up...

wait, mom. you still did not tell me what they are

6:49 pm

give up the ee 4/6 Champ

6:49 pm

eely

6:50 pm

OH DARN...to the PB with me!

6:50 pm

No Mom, we are like the shoemaker's elves. There will be two more bowls of dough in there.

Thanks

7:16 pm

Brookie, go on an angle from the G and use the 6 point tile

7:17 pm

How many points is it?

7:17 pm

Brookie, word in the grid that means Jamaican reference to pot. As in weed. As in dope.

7:17 pm

7:22 pm

Hello Babblers, how is your Friday evening - or whatever it is in whatever part of the globe you are in.

7:22 pm

I am so glad to hear that. I have missed seeing you

7:22 pm

Mom! Heaven forbid. I would never insult June Cleaver. She is the patron saint of Motherhood.

7:23 pm

Hi ((Red)) and Wht

7:23 pm

lol Molly

7:23 pm

bye bye Nutty, thanks for popping in

7:23 pm

Red, it was a joke. Earlier today, I was told that my candle icon was annoying and asked to take it down.

7:23 pm

it is good here Wht, how about you?

7:23 pm

Molly, looks like you have Christmas tree lights on

really?

now I must know by whoom....and I am too tired to read back, so fess up!

7:25 pm

yep, really Red. And he picked the worse time to say it. Haz, Annie, Ata were all on

7:25 pm

Mark somebody or another

Huh. that is too odd.

7:26 pm

and Sally Cat lover was here as well

7:26 pm

he got it from all sides

wowee... how can a candle be annoying?

7:27 pm

well, gosh Red, it had been up there over a week (that is what he said)

7:27 pm

okay, back. who missed me?

7:28 pm

Where did you go, Molly?

oooh my...i bet my mismatched icons really would irritate!

hi nut!

7:28 pm

He did Red. And he actually posted "the funeral was over a week ago". Meanwhile, the funeral was yesterday.

7:28 pm

some players never change their icon, shouldn't offend anyone

7:28 pm

It was your candle and here I am answering all the questions

7:28 pm

turty!!!

Nutty!

7:28 pm

that was a quick call Nutty

7:28 pm

Hi everyone

Molly that is insane. If you want to keep a candle up all year, you can!

7:28 pm

Hi Sea

hi sea!

7:29 pm

yes well, i'm not sure why he called, it wasn't a good time for him to call

7:29 pm

of course not, you are on babble

7:29 pm

heh...i meant him, but DUH YEAH

7:29 pm

I suspect there is more to what happened this morning. Time will tell.

7:29 pm

or it wasn't a good time for him

7:29 pm

men are so silly

7:30 pm

i prefer to think he's so smitten he just can't go without calling

7:30 pm

Molly, he always seemed so respectful when playing other times. I was surprised that he did that

7:30 pm

excellent call Nutty

7:30 pm

do i know whom we are talking about?

wonder if soething else is going on with him?

7:31 pm

Mark is his first name, his last name escapes me

7:31 pm

I feel kinda weird...I just changed my icon lol

7:31 pm

so not a membere of my old gang?

7:31 pm

ah, Sea, I have changed mine several times today

oh sea your icon is sooo nice!

7:32 pm

no Nutty, a relatively new one

i still have a candle....am i the next target?

7:32 pm

gotcha...not many oldies floating about anymore

7:32 pm

I don't see to many of the old gang on at night. But then again, I am not on at night very often

7:32 pm

thank you, but I walk in on this discussion about Molly's candle....that was very rude

7:32 pm

Who you callin' old?

7:32 pm

NUTTY!!!

7:32 pm

you could very well be Red

7:33 pm

i'm not changing my icon to please anyone...i paid so it could be what i want

7:40 pm

hmmm, doesn't like computers or just not into having it at home?

7:40 pm

just not into it at home

7:40 pm

Knox Farm was donated to the state by the Knox family--a beautiful vast farm for hiking, etc.

9:07 pm

reading hard copy nov. 25 issue.. title Pharmaceutical Marketing and the new social media

9:07 pm

Doren, as in patients TELL the MDs which Rx they want?

9:07 pm

showing our age, diane

hey guys

9:08 pm

Hi Owl--how are you & Dad?

remember a song... ******** Doll ???

9:08 pm

scrabs, i am feeling better, ran errand today and appetite returned dad's penumonia exray showed decrease

9:09 pm

brb - puppy pause

hi diane!

9:09 pm

Direct advertising to the consumer is dangerous--patients don't understand risks/benefits/indications...

i am still in pa. nj tomorrow & meeting je on sunday

9:10 pm

Don't push yourself too much, Owl.

9:10 pm

i agree scrabs. and owl, nj tomorrow, where on sunday? dc? you are moving too fast

define push yourself

ok*deep breath*

9:11 pm

And there are too many laissez faire American MDs that write Rxs fr whatever the patient desires.

meeting je in bethkehem on sunday

9:12 pm

have a great time owl. and yes, scrabs. it is insane that they do this

scrabs, skiing went well?

9:12 pm

Big Pharma = money-hungry monster!

9:13 pm

are these u words normal words? (needing7 more and not seeing)

9:13 pm

Yes, fun, Owl. Just a bruised patella from a wipe-out onto a rock.

9:13 pm

his angle is that yes, they need money for r and d, but some regulation needs to be involved

9:14 pm

Do: all my skiing trips to date have ended with a tree, some way or another. hi everyone :o)

hi dfm

the un words aren't bad, but really stuck on the up words... can't get a breakthrough lol\\\

9:14 pm

AND MDs must strengthen their spines and use the right meds for the right situations.

HI dfm :-)

thanks again, lb

9:18 pm

Anybody have a Kindle?

9:18 pm

my son does

well, some would say it would have gone up quickly, had to reach its level - without intervention

so o where to go but up

9:20 pm

drawbacks with kindle and nook are they are proprietory. only can buy amazon or barnes and noble books

9:20 pm

Doren, I am considering getting a Kindle.

9:20 pm

back ...

9:21 pm

haemoglobin numerical score? o.0

9:21 pm

hi pini!

9:21 pm

Owl, as long as bleeding does not continue your hgb will go up.

crossy has one

9:21 pm

wb pini

9:21 pm

if you can afford the difference scrabs, look at ipad instead

9:22 pm

I d/l Kindle to my laptop...don't have to buy a kindle to read that we

9:22 pm

Good point, Doren. First I am going to get a new XC-ski package for $380-480 or so.

9:22 pm

we = way

9:23 pm

What do you mean, Pini?

9:23 pm

Problem with e-readers nowadays is that the formats are all proprietary... i.e. you can't read iPad ebooks on a Kindle...

9:23 pm

you deserve both scrabbler

ok peeps, time to finish straightening up . doren if you have that email addy i'dappreciate it

9:23 pm

Most likely, in a few decades, we won't be able to read today's e-books at all.

9:23 pm

not all of them are proprietory. Kobo, sony, cruz and alibrus are not proprietory

9:23 pm

I mean...I read Kindle books on my laptop, Scrabs...

9:23 pm

Debating needs vs wants is tough for a frugal person such as me.

9:24 pm

Bye Owl

9:24 pm

sorry owl, i didn't send it last nite? thought i did... will get to it shortly

9:24 pm

I'll get the link if you want to check it out, scrabs...

9:24 pm

night, TO

9:24 pm

I didn't know that could be done, Pini.

bye scrabs, feel better. bye all

9:25 pm

night TO!

doren will you be all with family over the holidays or time to do sightseeing?

9:25 pm

I love gadgets so "want" a Kindle, iPad, iPod Touch...

9:25 pm

most ebooks have to be downloaded to a computer then uploaded to the reader.

9:25 pm

I have an iTouch...comes in handy when killing time waiting for something/someone

and scrabbler, any plans for jersey?

9:25 pm

unsure owl... will keep it open, ok

9:25 pm

the last re5 please?

9:26 pm

The iPad seems to be a larger version of the iTouch

9:26 pm

re + *** you're it!

9:26 pm

Not til at least the spring. Winter is too uncertain for driving 6 hrs.

9:26 pm

i've seen kindles and ipads and there is no question that ipad is superior (imho)

9:26 pm

re + ***, you're IT!

9:26 pm

(agreed, Dorens)

*poof*

9:26 pm

we missed you this fall scrabbs... want to make that an annual tradition

9:26 pm

Ty, Pini

9:27 pm

I had planned to visit in Oct but then my sister decided to come up here.

9:27 pm

tyvm piny!

9:27 pm

http://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.html? ie=UTF8&docId=1000426311

9:27 pm

ipads are designed to be more than a reader. the cruz is almost a tablet for all that it can do

9:28 pm

that leslie has a lot of nerve, and you can tell her that for me scrabbler

9:28 pm

if there is a warm spell/thaw then maybe I could drive down before March.

9:28 pm

would be terrific scrabbler... particularly if we can get jbv to join us again

9:29 pm

Scrabs, that link is for you! :)

9:29 pm

Very cool, Pini! I didn't know about that option.

9:30 pm

I opted to check it out before going out and getting an actual reader...that way I could "test drive" it before buying ;)

9:30 pm

thing about iPad is that unlike other e-books it requires active power.

9:30 pm

do a search for e-readers. wikipedia has a good comparison chart

9:30 pm

...and I don't actually have to buy the reader since the laptop is portable ;)

9:31 pm

e-books are weird, turning the pages is so~oo slow... the page takes ~0.3s to clear and 0.5s to render...

9:31 pm

but a single battery lasts practically forever.

9:31 pm

hmm, pini, that looks like a good app to put on my tablet :o)

9:32 pm

;)

9:32 pm

TY, dawger--found it

last word.... I will ask for help.... then go finish making my Christmas cards ! un 7/48

9:34 pm

add cons to un6

9:34 pm

(i.e., pt)

9:35 pm

past tense the 6, diane

oops... have that one... should have said the first un7/48

9:35 pm

Dawg, that's a lot of info

9:35 pm

borders has a free ebook app too.

just before "out of shape" word

9:36 pm

un7 = un + your *****! (out of a job)

9:36 pm

I keep reminding myself about the public library--free stuff!

9:36 pm

yeah it is a lot of info. cut and paste the ebooks you might be interested in and do a comparison. I can tell you about kobo, cruz and sony.

thank you Pini.... FW !

9:37 pm

Here's a place to check out free Kindle books to get you started, scrabs (http://www.amazon.com/Free-Kindle-Boo ks/lm/R3R4QDJZA9RLTA)

9:37 pm

There are names that I never heard of

9:37 pm

with the nonproprietory ereaders you can download from the library of congress, the gutenberg project and many libraries.

Now I can go make some more mess.... I'm doing some heat embossing, fun, but "dusty" :-)

9:38 pm

I am stopping at 166 words and 1992 points.Bye to all

9:38 pm

Goodnight to my fellow babblers! I'll see you tomorrow

9:38 pm

must be nice to be creative, diane

night, Minver

9:38 pm

night, Min

9:38 pm

Bye Min

9:38 pm

Which are the non-proprietary ones?

9:39 pm

sony, kobo, cruz, alibrus, are the ones that i know for sure are not proprietory

9:39 pm

20 left!

9:41 pm

9:44 pm

I prefer Almond Joy (partial to milk chocolate)

9:44 pm

I can't remember which stores are selling which ereaders, but staples, best buy and i think target have the kindle and nook ereaders. someone at work said bed bath and beyond had one too.

9:44 pm

sometimes you feel like a nut.. sometimes you don't!

9:44 pm

i wish almond joy came in dark chocolate

9:45 pm

I love dark chocolate!

9:45 pm

9:45 pm

going to start making truffles tomorrow

9:45 pm

too bitter for me

9:45 pm

if that's the right word

9:45 pm

I like dark chocolate... especially 95%+... :oD

9:45 pm

it can be bitter, pini.

9:46 pm

i found an easy recipe to make truffles with using oreos.. im going to do that this weekend

9:47 pm

i make a variety of truffles, chili, cinnamon, almond, cherry, all are dark chocolate except the almond, that one is a white chocolate.

9:47 pm

9:47 pm

brb (phone)

9:47 pm

9:48 pm

9:48 pm

or a really good raspberry jam.

9:48 pm

*drool*

9:48 pm

*drool*

9:49 pm

9:49 pm

9:49 pm

I bought myself a very nice early christmas present today

9:49 pm

9:49 pm

that's life in babbleland, dfm

9:49 pm

Season 1 of the reimaging of "V"

and tomorrow, I'm going to dip some ginger chunks in dark chocolate.... I love ginger !

9:50 pm

oooh, that sounds good, diane

we'll all gain weight, just reading the chat.

9:51 pm

coffee beans + melted 95% dark...

9:51 pm

i was supposed to do christmas shopping today but i decided to buy myself goodies instead.. so ill do the shopping tomorrow :P

9:51 pm

i'll take the virtual weight over the gazillion calories otherwise

9:51 pm

the thrift store has a 50% off everything tomorrow so..

9:51 pm

I never heard of "V".

9:51 pm

i always add a bit of coffee to my chocolate. adds to the flavour

My daughter and her friend ( when in nursing school ) , threw out a whole box of ginger chocolates that was given to them by a patient's husband. They thought they'd gone BAD !! What a waste :-(

9:52 pm

its based on an old tv series about alien occupation.. it was famous for the alien queen eating a gerbil on tv

9:52 pm

YIKES!!

9:53 pm

that was for the wasted chocolates...eeeew for the V

9:53 pm

i don't like coffee in the chocolate much. rather ruins the chocolate.

9:53 pm

why did they think they'd gone bad? :o(

instant coffee crystals, lb ?

9:53 pm

hello, diane, ruru, cos, scrabbs, dfm, dawg, et al

9:53 pm

not a lot of coffee, dc. just a tich.

Because they didn't recognize the flavour, and thought they were disgusting.

9:53 pm

hi dc :o)

Hello, dc

9:54 pm

Hi Seain

9:54 pm

how's snow going, scrabbs?

9:54 pm

depends on what i'm making diane. sometimes it's just a tablespoon of leftover coffee, or instant coffee crystals.

9:54 pm

putting milk in chocolate sorta ruins the chocolate too, at least for me <.<

9:55 pm

what an awful waste of good ginger and chocolate, diane.

9:55 pm

yeah, i'm not a huge fan of milk chocolate either, dfm

9:55 pm

FW

I agreed.... and we still laugh about it today.

9:55 pm

congrats cos!

9:55 pm

9:59 pm

I am ready for bed. 112 words remain hidden.

9:59 pm

i just woke up from another nap. Tired day today

10:03 pm

I'm currently failing miserably at trying to nap.

10:17 pm

litlle late for a nap...

10:17 pm

why not pull up the blankies and just sleep?

10:17 pm

hey all

10:17 pm

hi stid! :o)

10:18 pm

if I go to sleep sleep now, I'll wake up at ~0600 :o(

10:18 pm

what's wrong with that?

10:18 pm

early to bed, early to rise and all that.

10:20 pm

but then it feels so weird... I usually go to bed shortly after the sun rises (or, up here, shortly before it rises)...

10:20 pm

*eats LOTS of garlic and gets a silver cross out* why is that, dfm?

10:21 pm

*innocent mama look*

10:21 pm

10:21 pm

rofl

10:22 pm

did you try warm milk?

10:22 pm

I usually sleep from 0500h to 0900h, plus or minus an hour

10:22 pm

<-- is insomnic... and I think narcoleptic now...

10:22 pm

that's not enough sleep.... humans need more than that longterm

10:23 pm

gee whiz, dfm!

10:23 pm

no wonder you play all those games

10:23 pm

well, since I started doing that I've been actually able to wake up and not randomly fall asleep :o/

10:24 pm

http://nancylebov.dreamwidth.org/44693 4.html is about wooden gears in odd shapes.

10:24 pm

well that's okay -- if you are sleeping better when you do sleep.

10:24 pm

hi, stid

10:24 pm

hey seain!

10:25 pm

gee that looks amazing!

10:25 pm

my family has a history of not needing sleep... grandma on dad's side sleeps 2.5h per day and a one-hour nap :oS

10:25 pm

:oO dc you use Dvorak too?

10:25 pm

wow dfm. 9 hours is barely enough for me... better with a nap. of course I rarely get more than 8 and no nap

10:26 pm

when I sleep *more* is when I start having narcoleptic spells throughout the day...

10:26 pm

have since 96, dfm

10:26 pm

9h is about right for me most nights

10:27 pm

10:31 pm

a ch8/55 is one who sells ca6/24s

10:31 pm
