Here's my icon clue -- FM probably won't know who it is :-(
but I don't either! :o(
h's hammered?
you are right jilli - but he is a very nice pic to took at :)
Well, I had to use him, dfm -- check the writeup.
crystalle you are on the ball!
Ns term"N"ated
thanks Jilli, for the icon clue
There's an extra hint in the writeup
yw flosey -- knopw who it is?
no, didn't know of him
well, he won an Emmy recently...
Bet Haz would stash him in the cupboard along with George :)
oh, must read further
But i don't watch that show either, lol.
morning all
Yes, kinda yummy, eh FM?
Hi Ishult
Greetings Ishult - early for you?
hi Ish :o)
clever young man, jilli - quite handsome too
FM -- a bit of insomnia for you?
*sigh* yes and getting kinda tired now butknow I wont sleep for a while.
st spotted the 8..........all those years of watching "Friends" finally pays off!!!
I met him at a dog show about 27 years ago.
lol Ish
I
I'll pretend to know what that is and congratulate you :o)
need a cup of tea, bbs
*preps some pasties and muffins and breakfast stuff to go with floseys tea*
*pasties?*
that sounds good even at 11:21 pm, FM
Hi ruru!
Pasties are very Brit, ruru, esp in Cornwall.
hi jilli
oh I know ruru - just smack me. I meant pastries.
Us... hmm, reave"U"d
Pasties are different.
what's wrong with "pastie"? o.o
ROFL
Actually jilli has a good point - nothing better than a really good meaty pastie.
Google Cornish Pasties
yes, they're yummy, Jilli
well dawn has come so I must go and put food and water out for the birds.
Just occurred to me -- this is a pretty big grid to have no S
oh great... what do I walk into..?
How's the snow, FM?
Wellies on and rubber gloves for the clearing of the snow on the wall. :)
you walked into a wall, m9! oh, and Babble chat, too.
The birds thank you, FM
The wall probably explains the amnesia. Welcome to Babble, m9!
ha dfm!
I hope they will jilli - back in a bit.
hi again m9!
Don't worry if all this seems like déjà vu, m9, it's a common side effect of amnesia.
sorry I missed yer hello jilli.. I am SO distracted!
(caught up to beginning of 8th season of NCIS..LOL)
(i.e. she forgot you, jilli...)
no! I didn't see it til now!
you... you... meal ol potato head.
poor m9, amnesia is a horrible thing.
oops. MEAN ol' potato head
I'm sorry.. and you are??
I'm a mini-bus.
oh wait, did I spell that wrong? I meant, a nony bus.
anyone have the first up 6/24?
hmmm maybe a nonny muss?
yes ruru
I think
up6/24 + p.t. up7/40 to upgrade
OH!! he wanted a clue!!!!LOL
sorry... amnesia ya know..
it's alright, m9... amnesia can do that... I think....
thank you
weird word.
done now.. thanks
where.. where am I?
Whoo Hoo!!! wtg... whoever you are!
nigt
night all
g'night ru

night ruru :o)
Good for ruru -- missed that finish (in the kitchen and must go back there -- bbs)
k jillli
1/2way
back fro the icy wastes but the birds are happy.
wtg m9 -- I'll be lucky if I get there at all -- only59 words found now.
ohh... I like that actor jilli
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.
oh.. I wish we had winter hummingbirds!
that would be very cool!
winter humming birds - wow!
m9 - can you share any info about NB? Many babblers are worried about him.
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.
It's called Anna's Hummingbird, if you want to google it.
My fairly tame robin came down to see what I was doing and feed about 62 away from me
I just can't get him to feed from my hand yet.
Our robins are so different from yours, FM
6" that was supposed to say.
Oh, cute, FM!
It is a privelige to see a bird so close
dfm - wher are you when I need a spell check!?
does anyone have a clue for the cu7 please
sorry crys, don't have it
cu + cons + ri 4
thanks diz
YW, so my clue worked?...lol
absolutely, diz, great clue
Hey Flos why is your pic black?
don't know why diz, click on it and you'll see it was yesterday's icon theme, calendar
it's black because it's a GIF, flosey...
73 to go but I must get to bed, falling asleep right here!
oh, thanks dfm, will watch that in future
now, goodnight all, hopefully will get back at some time tomorrow to finish up
PNG and GIF will have black backgrounds applied when converting to JPG, so if they're transparent, you'll see the background black.
night flosey :o)
also FM it's spelt "privilege" ;o)
ty for that information, dfm :-)
back from the kitchen now but need to go to bed :-(
Lots to do tomorrow...
So goodnight all and *poof*
night jilli :o)
morning all how many words today please
197
thanks
1 eight letter word, fifteen seven letter words, twenty-six six letter words, sixty-five five letter words and ninety four letter words
morning all
Good morning, sprite.
hello Haz, living in a white world too?
We've missed you the past few days. Yes, pretty much surrounded by the stuff. I'm ready for it to disappear.
We don't have huge quantities but it shows no sign of shifting. What about you?
me too. Sidewalks are ice with snow on top... dangerous for walking. Yeah, nasty flu. Missed you all too.
Yes, pavements aren't in great shape here either. Are you fully recovered from the flu?
first day up again, still a bit weak in the stem (?). But very happy to be out of bed!
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.
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.
There's a Scots expression - feeling peely-wally that sums it up nicely.
hahaha that has a good ring to it. Very apt.
nice size grid for a nasty day. Good morning everybody
Good morning, ruby.
morning rubyfoo. Why a nasty day?
We'll have to imagine why it's nasty.
I guess so. Though days are often what you make of them.
2 1/2 ft of snow on the ground with ice underneath! and getting colder by the minute
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
warm clothes, rubyfoo, and doing fun indoor things... close the curtains early and light some candles... make a spice wine tonight :)
Morning Ladies. Ditto here Rubes, Its horrible.
hi Soodle :)
Good morning, Soodle.
look, Soodle has candles already!
Glad to hear you are up and about, albeit wobbly, Sprite.
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?
They're for JBV's husband who died, sprite.
Oh Sprite... Maybe you didn't hear about JBV's husband?
rubyfoo, can't your husband get those metal grips you bind under your shoes?
oh dear :( Am so sorry to hear that.
I have cardamon seeds in my stove-top boiling water (to humidify the house) as the fireplaces make the air very dry
when did that happen?
I'm not sure exactly when he died, but the funeral was yesterday.
I think Monday or Tuesday. He was being buried yesterday. JBV called by yesterday morning
how old was he?
I don't know, ruby, but he had been in ill health for quite a while, I think.
it is a sad season. So many people dying way too young.
this is a difficult time of year!
yes I believe so too, Haz.
Got your email, Rubes, thank you. Haz, Sprite, Ruby wrote to me in bright pink, to cheer me up, and and it worked!
awwww how sweet
E' erradicated
hello dizgrannie
hello diz grannia
Sprite, poor little Buster was knocked down and killed by a car on Wednesday.
Hello, diz.
hey Ruby and ALL!!!
oh Soodle :( *hugs*
grannia is the Italian version*
nana
SHYTE!!!! DMAN!!!
I'll meet you in the pb for some hot chocolate, grannie!
you could call that entrapment!
Who wants to lead off a round of tut-tutting?
*giggles* I will put some spiced wine in the PB, rubyfoo. It will warm and cheer you up, all at once.
LOL
LOL might need more than hot chocolate, had a coupla glasses of wine with dinner...HICC
tsk tsk, t-t-t. Always game.
too early, even for me! but hot toddy before lunch, that's for sure
My mother was the fastest at tut-tutting I ever heard.
fastest as in quick to start it, or in the pace of tutting?
She had a remarkable technique, machine gun tuts.
ah, asked and answered, thanks
I bet mine came a close second, Haz.... With us lot, she had ye**s of practice..
Hey what is this Spiced Wine that you often talk about....humour this Aussie...LOL
The pace of tutting - she was a sweetheart.
if you have a bottle of so-so wine, add some sugar and spices and heat it up on the stove
Is spiced wine the same as Mulled wine?
goes right to your toes if you're cold
yes, and you stir it with a cinnamon stick
Don't forget the chunks of apples and cloves, Ruby...
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.
WOW sounds okies, might try some....thanx
jeezzz why can't I remember... hold on
e
cloves
aaah, but then you're getting into health food, soodles!
don't boil the wine though, you will lose all alcohol that way. And that would be a shame.
oh we never did apples... sounds great!
Nah. The apples absorb the wine, you could get tipsy eating the leftovers the next day. Health food shmealth food!
yes, I believe it is the same as mulled wine, Soodle.
that's like the fruit in the bottom of the sangria which has soaked overnight in sugar and brandy -- cook's treat
Blooming well started snowing again here. Its just not funny or beautiful anymore. I am sick of it now.
I know, there's not the least sign of a thaw.
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.
snow is only nice if you (and everybody else) is free from work. And from shopping. Etc.
That's the problem, sprite, life has to go on.
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.
My car is just immovable. I took a taxi into town yesterday, and shopped for a week.
not that he minds... he LOVES snow and ice. He is frisky and wild and runs miles to and from me.
had better get dressed now, see you later
ouch Soodle, that is something!
*poof*
See you later, ruby.
Bye Rubes ((())) and thanks again.
bye rubyfoo
for me this grid is a bit tight... not really flowing and I am not even halfway.
I found the first 70 or so ok..... I'm slowing down now.
It takes a bit of looking, that's for sure.
glad to hear I am not the only one
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.
oh that is a word I should know... now what was it... thanks for the clue, Haz!
No problem, it was on the tip of your tongue anyway, you just needed an extra nudge.
Just found it - thank you Haz. I would have been a long time looking for that one.
a HUGE nudge, grin.
You're welcome. I'd love to take the credit but morewords had a lot to do with finding it.
as Ata always says, that is research, Haz.
Absolutely.
Oooh. An 8 just popped out at me. :-)
wow wtg Soodle! No such luck here so far.
Okay, I'm going to do something even more useful than this. Enjoy the grid and hope you get through this weather safely.
Ch, sprite.
Take care, Haz. Keep warm.
bye Haz, have a good day and try and stay warm!
thanks Soodle
Will do! Bye!
ah got it, great! Thanks again.
Like Haz, I better go and get things done. 81 left for later. Take care, Sprite. See you soon ((()))
bye Soodle, all the best. *hugs*
HUGS SOODLE
hello lady
Hello dear Sprite.
how are you, hun?
Very good. How is it all at your end?
I got the flu, but otherwise ok. Recuperating now.
:( Sprite
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?
lots of it. And ice underneath.
O please be careful
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
lolllllll!
I am just looking at my b.fs cousins photos. The girl loves to be orange. Bless her
orange is a wonderful colour.
Not as a fake tan colour
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?
ouch, no, not as a tan. Makes you look like you ne4 your liver checked.
facebook? I don't go there much, but I can try. Hold on.
ok I am in. Glad I remembered the password, lol
Thanks Sprite. Stop me from putting Purge in again and again
lol I am right with you there.
Driving me nuts
fi4flies. Not an easy grid at all! But fun anyway. I have to go, lady, Terra is making little cavia noises.
have a good day and :D at you, and *hugs*
hugs to Terra and to you sprite!
Loves Sprite. Hi ALoy

bonjour, jean
hi ruby :-)

ae5?
and lots of firewood
high bird's nest, sami
wow the weather is crazy everywhere! we are flooding
thanks
that much rain?
hello everyone
{{annie}}
yes a lot of towns have been evacuated..the bridge here flooded for the first time in 15 yea*s
((ruby)) snowed in again...how romantic
sami, where are you
raofl!
Canberra, Australia
ruby, I thought that was the reaction I would get but I do hope you are both okay.
if they can hold onto your rain, that would be a good thing, no, sami?
ty annie, you know me very well!
stay safe, sami
yes, for the dams (which are now at 100%) but it has destroyed all the crops
thankyou :) we are safe where we are
there has been enough bad stuff in the chog this week!
good morning all. What & where is the chog??
you are in it! and hello mrs
hi mrswh
hi Annie
good morning babblers :)
hello hello no no
Hi Ruby
good morning, NOno
mrswhiski the chog is the chat log
oh - thanks - I've heard the expression on here but I had no idea what it was!
soorry, mrs!
BTW - here in Toronto Ontario Canada we have no snow but we know it's coming
ruby, is that much snow usual for you?
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
lh
people were stranded on the highways for hours
dont mind me
I know NoNo - people had to sleep in their cars. The highway is open this am
"lae effect snow", here it is just freakish
lake*
We don't get a lot of snow in Toronto which is right across the lake from Buffalo. All the snow falls in Buffalo.
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)
oven*
yes mrs, it goes mostly south and east of the lake
stay warm ruby
Toronto sends its snow to Buffalo and Oswego
yes stay warm ruby!
enjoy your nap and wake up to the sun
I thik it's Oswego that gets like 12 ft each winter and they make snow tunnels on the campus
hahahah.....
I like to think that we let them have our snow lol
yes Oswego always get hit hard
sun, appropriately, next Sunday -- maybe
that is very generous, mrs!
we think so!
95 words, BTW
woohoo
*poof*
phantom--canape
Oh, I've missed ruby! Hi everyone else.
Hi Sally
Hi Sally, Morning Annie.
ahd hi to Molly
mornin babblers! TGIF!!
Been cooking this morning, so have not really been able to sit down before.
Hey eva! Welcome to the grid!
Hey Eva, Happy Friday!!
Hi EvaN, did you get any good recipes from reading the cookbook yesterday
ding ding ding time....Mr. Frome's first name
Miss Jackson...Ja5 if you're nasty.
Annie's is Ethan
ding ding ding!
hi Sally, Molly, Eva and Mark
Hey. How's the grid going?
Waving to Nono and Mark
first 150 words were a breeze!
Aloy liked the grid very much, not I
or not me
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
Molly, please change your icon. It's bugging me now!
EvaN, good for you for trying
Why should Molly change her icon?
Eva it's hard to deal with picky eaters
good morning everyone
hi ((Mom)))
It is really annoying now. It was like, a week ago.
Another ding, ding...Barbie, Midge and Skipper's friend.
((Nono)) good morning
(((Mom))) nice to see you
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.
((Annie)) good morning. Always good to see you
There's nothing wrong with your icon Molly :-)
Nothing, but wasn't the funeral like a week ago?
no it was yesterday
The funeral was yesterday.
I feel my hand itching to give someone a slap.
No it was YESTERDAY.
im with you, there, haz.
((Haz)) welcome to my world
hello Haz!
Yesterday, Mark, and you are going to make no friends with that attitude.
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.
Haz, good afternoon
Hello! Indignant women un5....
ty for the clue :-)
I don't know what he (the vet)does, I take a wee blood pressure tablet every day.
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??
All that aside, I have no idea how a picture of a candle is annoying.
and I've had my dog for 9 years!!
I wish I could change my icon to a candle but, alas, still computer dumb
It has just been there for a while.
ata -- clearly you need to change your dog.
for that matter Thanksgiving was last week, I just like this one. :-)
and the aurora borealis has been there forever
lol Eva
clearly so :D
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.
Mark, I changed my icon four days ago when I heard the news about LBV's husband. "A while"???
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....
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.
do you need to change your husband already do you think???
good morning Trif!
Hi Trif, sorry about your pill
Spangle's staying put as well.
ata, hon, ive been trying to change him for years. ;)
Hello, Trif.
Morning Trif.
lmao :D
Okay. I'm sorry. Anyway, I must go. It is time for school. See you later everyone.
Ah, school. Thought so.
hey
Bye, Mark. You'll learn from school and you'll learn from us as well.
rut-roh... trif brought another candle icon into the chog. here we go!
hey, Car had the first one, and I think I had the second
plus, my candle is burning today for what used to be my life.
I have a happy story for you all ...
oh dear, Trif
oh, crap, now I have to go to the PB. figures
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.
Stay here, Trif, otherwise we'll all be in there with you.
do tell Ata
And the one who makes them is there.
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 :-)
she is greatly loved, purrs like a chainsaw and kneads everything she can get her little paws on :)
Ata, what a great story
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!
Sally, I read that initially as 'I'm afraid of you, Haz'. I didn't know whether to be pleased or not.
<------- afraid of haz.
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.
and there's a picture of her :)
(I'm doing my patented 'dont' mess with me' shoulder shrug.
(((((((trif)))))))
she's 5 months old and going to be called BeeBee :)
Sorry Trif, try to have a better day
Trif, come back later when you're feeling more like yourself.
((((trif)))
oh she is such a pretty cat,Ata!
I should think you won't be seeing me for a while, then, haz. but thanks
((((Trif)))))
Trif......call me.
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
(((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.
(((Trif))) please stay
I've a feeling it's something more than indignant women of babble can cure. I'm sorry you're so upset, Trif.
better tham fur balls :D
Trif, would you feel better if you stayed and "spoke" to us?
**changed by icon** more fitting to the weather we will be having
Hii
what a wonderful story Ata, and good afternoon
Candy.
hwai.
LOL
LOL
Hi Sheimi and Julciia
dundun
Hi Mom
the shelter said she was unadoptable. does she look unadoptable? lol
Hi mom
:D
No Ata, I would have taken her on myself.
me too!
absolutely not Ata, I would have taken her in a heartbeat
**oops, changed it again to today's weather
hi sheimi and Julciia
I like coconuts
annoying shelters. well that's one unadoptable kitty very happy at least :)
Hi Nono.
Hi Nono
I would have taken the dear
very apt Mom
Taken her into the PB?
thanks Nono
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!
Sheimi is my sister :3
Oh, just found the cu 7 which means a well-fitting bra.
Well fitting trees
how wondrful Nono! shows what love and attention can do
I like well fitting trees Yay
giggles
giggles
sally, funny clue
I assume, she says, apropos of nothing, that a lot of schools are shut today because of the weather.
yes .......
nono my granddad is younger than you
probably so Sally
:)
I am quite sure I do not know how there can be 28 P words here
Mom youre older than my gran how is that possible
I am just lucky I guess
Mom, I have 24 of them and only one would i consider uncommon
Nono why are you so old
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)
thanks Nono, maybe I will concentrate on those for a while
*snorfle*
will work on that Haz
There is a very apt pr 4/5
nice clue Haz! I didn't have that one
Glad it worked, Nono.
have the dog part, working on the other part
Mom the work garment would work very well for a farmer
dung****
Think of trousers with bibs. Maybe you call them something different in the States.
thanks Annie
Must just pop casserole in oven, brb
Thanks Haz
we call them overalls
Sally, what kind of casserole are you baking? I just love casseroles
Mom, didn't people used to refer to jeans as dung***** a long time ago?
You're welcome, Mom.
I was just thinking of asking her that, Annie
maybe so, but we never did
Mom will know. She's older than *everyone*
Even older than me...LOL...did we get the A students today, the overachievers
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"
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!
The Chuckle Sisters seem to have left the building.
love that name Haz
my daughter once asked my "did they have birthdays back when you were growing up?"
sounds delicious Sally
*me
((Une)) good morning
:-)
Just remember girls, with age comes wisdom :-)
Who are the Chuckle Sisters? They sound funny!
I like that, The Chuckle Sisters
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.
And with wisdom and that well fitting bra cu7, what can we not do?
Hi Une
oh, sally! LOL
hey, annie :-)
oh Sally
howdy, haz
Une, cold here as well. Are you getting snow tomorrow?
Hello, Une.
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.
oh dear, how far is Cookeville from you?
LOL!!
lol Sally
takes about an hour, 10 minutes
be safe
so did I sally!
will do! :-)
off to pick up donated food for soup kitchen -- good to see everyone -- byeee *poof*
bye Une
bye Une, do your good work
bye bye ((Une))
bye Une.
finally .... got the cu 7
Me too Mom, I had to work with it for a while after Haz mentioned it.
although I don't think there is such a thing. There is always something not quite right with bras
phone
Sally gave the bra clue originally.
hurry back Annie
I've switched to sports bras unless I'm wearing something that requires the real deal. The sports bras are much more comfortable.
*returns to chog and is utterly appalled that Molly STILL has a candle for her icon*
Yoo hoo...Eva...refresh...
lol Eva
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!
lol Molly
I second, third and fourth that Sally.
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.
it is a good idea but some people may not be able to afford the Pro cost
Eva, it says "Is my icon annoying you"
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.
Mom has a point. It would be punishing the good with the bad I guess.
hi all.
look at how long DFM has played before he went pro, and then there is Grant and Gran and so many others
what is the clue for cu 7 please.
hi mkg
That's a good idea Haz. Or maybe a little longer?
Hi MKG
nm got it.
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.
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.
Maybe. It would cut out some of the randomness, perhaps.
Afternoon all
Hello, FM!
I thought there was going to be some type of "ignore" on the new babble
Have you suggested it to Dr_G Haz?
Hi FMitch
and Hallo FM.
i like that idea the best Eva
hi FM
I did, Sally, right back when he was asking for suggestions for the new babble.
The ignore button will be on the new Babble.
Hello all, yawning after an extended nap.
i think he mentioned there may be...
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.
Nap???? oh that sounds like a grand idea.
certainly makes us non-Pros feel unwanted...
:) Mom I needed it as I was up at 3.30am
it doesn't seem like there are as many trolls as there were when I started playing 5 years ago
Hi Pcal
Oh wow, FMitch, couldn't sleep?
Hi Mom
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
Oops...sorry. Maybe I should have read more before chiming in..hi Nono
**FIREWORKS **
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?
Well done, Nono!
Congrats Nono and Hi pcal.
it really doesnt happen as much as it use to
congratulations Nono
Congrats Nono
yeah nono!
im back and congrats, nono
I remember when I first started it was rampant
Just wait till the Christmas holidays :-(
welcome back Annie
thanks everyone
wb annie
I remember when I first started there was a class that would come on enmasse and then the teacher would come on and apologize
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.
I remember that Annie
Haz, yes, that was it...a horror
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.
The language, the attitude etc was far beyond anything we had experienced before.
i havent had to dust off my troll repellent in quite some time...
((Nono)) enjoy your day
Have a great day, Nono
Bye Nono (standing for no slacking, no loitering)
My troll repellant is always at ha4
it is funny how some of the new babblers react these days to a slight misdemeanour.
I learned a few new words from that class.
I know, I tend to give the benefit of the doubt until the language starts.
code red is called at the drop of a hat :)
I know!
Or the insults Haz.
We sound like people going over war memories of the Blitz or something.
lol Haz
It did feel like that at times with some of them!
ugar
lol, just taken a cold call. Told him there are no computers in this house. That always throws them.
oops! sorry about that.
I think I am glad I missed it. Sounds horrible.
Hi Tee Jay
hi.
Promptly tries it. Not allows tee-jay
i know. too bad. it's such a pretty word, no?
any help with clue for the r words top right of grid? dont have any.
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.
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.
Sally!!!
Sorry, just kidding.
haha. depends on the day, i guess..
lol tee-jay
: )
tu
ty i mean
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
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!
YVW
perhaps you need to have your thyroid checked Eva
because you haven't put enough layers on?
may I please have a clue for the bottom A?
aj4/9 car.e
aj4
aj4---aj , double vowel
TY!
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
And an5/10
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...
I had better go and start my day. ((Hugs)) to all of you
awe EvaN!
doorbell, see you all later
Bye, Mom.
I was just going to say something about your sneakers, actually.
bye bye ((Annie))
Wasn't there 197 words yesterday too?
bye Annie
bye bye Haz, thanks for the help with cluing
Bye Mom!
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!
No problem, Mom.
196 Bichon, hello and bye bye
bye bye ((Car.))
am surprised that the talk of undergarments didn't entice crossy out of his nest.
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
Good morning all
Hello Mr Bob!
Morning Mr Bob.
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.
my doc put me on diuretic (?) to not retain water
Good grief!
brb
Eva, for every you, there is a me. I run incredibly hot. When everyone else is cold, I am sweating.
good morning all
Hi Teach.
how can that be, when we live in the same area?? BBBbbbbbrrrrrrr..............
Don't know Eva. I'm still running around in my hoodie instead of a winter coat.
meanwhile, ive got 30 layers of clothes on, and i switch on my heated seats in the car...
good morning all
We'd talk about people like EvaN as being 'cold rife', i think it's a Scots expression.
Hello, Boobear.
Hi Haz
i just tell people im cold-blooded. ;)
But warm-hearted.
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.
Bye for now!
Ooo, Eva is reptilian. Mr. Foster best sleep with one eye open. : P
morning ladies hot and cold enough for ya? lol:))
g'day haz!
Eva and I are Yin and Yang.
Hi again!
molly -- we already have 4 lizards in the house. adding me to the list wouldnt turn him off. ;)
Hi Crossy!
Molly, Eva....who are the Chuckle Sisters?
The two trolls who were here earlier.
ask him to put a heat lamp over your side of the bed;)
OH...OK. When I asked before and no one answered....I was paranoid.
the Chuckle Brothers were a comedy duo in kiddies programmes over here. Haz adapted it
Oh hell CarEE, you didn't think Haz was talking about you and Trif did you?
Ummmm....
: P
I know, I know....stupid.
Tell Trif that good mojo is floating her way from Babbleland.
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.
Oh Eva, that's awful.
Hey. :D
as long as all are safe,that is what counts
((crossy))
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:/
((FM))
though here*
I will tell her. She is going through a lot right now. Keep good thoughts for her.
wow. news reports are saying that it took 60 firemen to put it out.
good lord,big blaze indeed
car, please tell trif that i will add her to my prayers. seems ive got a lot of people to think of this season.
cause that is more than one division
i am sorry what has happened with trif?
Eva...glad to know all are safe. VERY scary indeed!
she has kept details to herself, crossy, but it seems shes not in a good place right now...
Crossy, I can't say. But she is hurting.
oh,ok,not for me to butt in,but i hope she overcomes her current problems
I wish her good thoughts
hi all. my goodness, whay have i walked in on gang?
Hey TO!!#
chaos + drama in the world, TO. nothing new, but more of it hitting closer to home than usual. we are just wishing good thoughts to all of our friends and loved ones.
ok the issues are nb and now trif?
hey fm
Well said EvaN!
Absolutely Eva!
good to see you again.
Afternoon all. What happened to Nanct Boy?
*Nancy
i just found out my mothers friends house caught fire yesterday morning. quite a lot of damage, but thankfully everyone is ok.
we don't know liz.
sorry to hear that evaN
oh great, fog is rolling in.
FM..it certainly feels that way! How appropriate!
Think I will hunker down and come out again about mid March :(
I would miss you if you were gone THAT long!
awe thank you for that!
hi car

oops liz
The Rectory will disappear in about 3 mins I reckon with the speed the fog is advancing.

Hi TO! How are you?

We are supposed to go from -4 today to +6 tomorrow!
no fog here,5 inches on the ground and still snowing:/
fine anf you car? and crossy?

hello all
buffalo area sounds like a nightmare.
buffalo is a mess

Yep, it's a royal snowy mess just north of me.
pari
anything out of the ordinary catches them off guard,they equip for the average yearly nominal conditions..up here we KNOW the crap os going to hit the fan blades at some point,so we equip for that
Sorry, but not a word anyway.

Oh Scrabs...for you or patient?

Hello nomatter
sorry, hello nomatter
Beat me to it Crossy!
For me--vertigo, headaches, and tinnitus.
aw heck. you have those migraines
my da has some inner ear thing that did all that to him,was quite bad for a bit
SCRABS!!!! Had the same thing. Nothing out of the ordinary on MRI. I was finally diagnosed with migraine induced vertigo.
any ae5 clues?
bird's nest
ty car
Yep, but concern is acoustic neuroma or, God forbid, brain tumor.
have not got to it yet,gut i will take a gift word when i can get it;))

achte
Will keep you in my prayers, as always! Please keep me posted.
no tumors scrabbs,do not make me angry;)
oh snap, sorry!
oh the horrors knowledge brings :o(
Blessings to you Scrabs.
hi everyone :o)
being a dr is bad that way,you know many horrors that we can only guess at
no matter, no matter. :)
well think best outcome. could it also be from migraines?
molly what happened to your ca6? :o/ I was just getting used to it...
ty :)
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.
erm... forgot that was a grid word. uhh... burning tallowstick? Yeah, let's go with that.
of course. scary thing.
Vestibular migraines are longer episodes.
How are you, Owl?? And your father?
ty dfm
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...
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?
Nope, I cannot fool myself, and then further research and reading has me more spooked.
Yep, keep dad moving--prevent blood clots, make him cough + take deep breaths.
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
TO What's wrong regarding your father?
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
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" :/
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?
and it is hard on your head if you are prone to migraines
pca12, no worries
Hi pcal
Owl, albuterol = epinephrine-related med that relaxes twitchy muscles around bronchi.

Who is Douglas adams?
:oO Scrabs doesn't know Douglas Adams?
He must be a famous Canadian?
Douglas Adams wrote the fine novel "Hitchhikers Guide To the galaxy" where the babelfish originates
he is a britt
Forty-Two? Babel Fish?
yup...42
Nope, never read that book, but now I understand Babel Fish, I guess.
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.
Life the Universe and Parrots?
so long and thanks for all the fish
Aha, I have become smarter today! Woo hoo!
... *mostly* harmless
he is a good read scrabbs if you like dry monty python type humor
Now I have to go back to work.
no, babel fish translate brain waves, don't they?

hashish, marijuana, weed?
yes yes yes
I think I went to college in the wrong era
LOL!!
I know I did, bichon
bichon, we're nearly the same age :-)
afternoon babblers!
Bich, think Jamaican.

so how close to freezing are you today, EvaN?
ga 6/24?
ga6/24 deep red
I got it. I have never, never heard ofthat word. I am so out of it

((((RIVERDANCE)))) I missed you!
hi stid :o)
Hey ((Stid)) how are you?
glantarell!!! ((more hugs)) is it warmer yet? I tried to email you but it bounced. my email is in my profile I think...
I am very very sad... parenting an older child is very confusing and hard. I am worried about stidkid #1
other than that, life is actually pretty good. how are you?
yes it is warmer, just -5C tonight and I am wearing a satin coverlet to stop me shivering
what is going on stid
hey dfm - how is the obscure clueing going? *wicked mama look*
it is when we stop worrying that we are in trouble, stid
oh that is SUCH an improvement! LOL maybe tomorrow it will hit freezing.
obscure clueing? Who's being obscure?
how old is stidkid?
then I must be doing it right, bugs... *sigh*
i heard a rumour that we might be above frezing by one degree tomorrowQ!
I have 2 teenagers - never easy - good thing you are a parent and not a friend - makes a difference
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...
It's hard to let them spread their wings and fly on their own Stid.
Glankid #1 is 27 and glankid#2 is 25 and i still worry about #2
sometimes they need to make mistakes to learn - its harder on us Moms letting them make them
we can only learn from our own mistakes
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.
STID!!!
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
oh well...
better to make lots of mistakes when you're young than leave them till you're much older LOL
Amen. Everyone needs a soft place to land.
ardilla!!! *checks for fever, cough, tired eyes and signs of illness* how are you?
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.
hence, my concerns.
better, pretty stressed out and trying to relax/recover
Stid, is trade school an option?
everyone has dreams, stid and one day he will move out - only when the supports he needs are there without him recognizing them
cough is still lingering
(((ardilla))) hope you will be okay.
try letting him leave for a week or so, he'll figure out how difficult it is to live without you :o)
Pneumonia coughs take forever to get rid of.
ardilla I have been at home almost all week with a bad cold and cough. I hope I didn't catch it from you! ;)
trade school is not really an option -- physical limitations and an expectation to go to college will get in his way
well at least you are on the mend.
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
Ah, I see.
that's true dfm.
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.
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)
Stid, we may have to go down there and kick medic butt after all. : P
oh oh... *packs bags with butt-kicking boots*
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
thanks nan -- that is actually good to hear... he could do that.
whiny dog in background...
*sigh* he is picking up on my emotions I think.
some guys in another section stayed behind and helped me fix it
so i've been very stressed out for over a week while trying to recover from ??? now i finally have a breather
:)
good for them, ardilla! Will you make them supper once you feel better? so sorry you have to pick up the pieces
the medic has me doing a 5-day blood pressure check...cuz everytime i go in there, my numbers are in the prehypertension range
but i think the meds he's been giving me are raising my bp
*!* ta da *!* - thanks for all the great clues :)
just going to the surgery raises my bp
YAY nan!!!
woo hoo cybernan
woot nan
that could be -- or white coat hypertension from the stress of their ineptitude...
YAY nan!
ardilla I just copied your eggnog cake recipe for the staff party. It sound easy and good. Thanks
i'm under 30...there should be nothing wrong with my BP
stress, meds, family history ardilla?
like diabetes there are a lot of factors
congrats nan! :o)
after 4 days of checks, my top number was in the 110-120 range, but the bottom number was between 50-90
Yay Nan on finishing
that's NOT high blood pressure, ardilla
that doesn't sound too bad, ardilla
top/bottom number? XoD yeah, that's not high at all...
anything over 80 for a bottom number they worry about
average is 85/130... I think...
off to work for crossy tc all and happy babbling
poof
hi and bye crossy
depends on age dfm
mine was 148/92, last time, which is not so good!
bye crossy :o)
mom's mom has type 2, dad's dad had heart attack, both parents have nothing in their history
average is 120/80
bye crossy
according to nih.gov "If your blood pressure is between 120/80 mmHg and 139/89 mmHg, then you have prehypertension. "
hey cross and bye
brb phone
mine is 120/55 :o/
luckily, he's not doing the checks
younger stidkid. who DOES turn on the cell phone (but is at school...) LOL
today was 119/90
yes -- but I don't think you have reached middle or age, have you, dfm?
I'm worried why there is such a huge difference between systolic/diastolic in mine :oS
it's the 90, that is most important
the better medic is TDY for another week
there shouldn't be a 50% difference! >.>
there is supposed to be a difference, dfm! one measures pressure during pumping, one measures pressure in the "tubes" when the pump relaxes.
that was after sitting quietly for 15min
off to get a coffee then back for a bit to clue
feet flat on floor ardilla?
hopefully, it will be lower on monday since this outage was fixed and i'll get some rest
yeah, I know how BP works... but generally there isn't such a huge difference...
yes, and back supported by chair back
later nan...
that should help a lot ardilla!
my bp was very high then i cut out alcohol and started eating a dairy free diet and it came right down
that was on my left arm, the right arm was 119/80 both with manual cuffs
cut out alcohol - NEVER
lol
i drink rarely now
intriguing, ardilla
i still have the occasional tipple but not daily
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
still, I do worry a little because one side of my family has heart trouble later in life
i had to get my bp and pulse checked 2x by the real doctor...the numbers concerned her
I think less fat and more exercise is what I need -- something I plan to remedy as soon as we get to CA
*Laughing at River*
afternoon babblers!
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
hey EvaN!
hi EvaN! :o)
the medic wonders if it's how i am naturally...my medical records haven't arrived here yet
going to CA? when?
hi eva
brb, getting some sweet potato pie
it's nice to go to california in the winter...
february-march is nice in southern cal
but the rest of the year... *shudder*
we leave in a week, Stid
I have never been further west than Chicago *sigh*
good timing, nan!
i thought it was OK in april - i spentmy ho9neymoon in san diego
yes, I think it's going to be a hard winter up here
that's okay... not much out here to see...
i'm back
anyone want clues before I start sorting out things to pack?
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
oh, dear, river! didnt wear a ***ter belt. just a ***ter around my leg... and even that annoyed the who-ha outta me!
me me me
down to 6 left but havent given up yet - thanks anyway
go river go!
WHAT??!! not much here to see???? There is so much here to see when Riverdance finally arrives she will get the best welcome from all her Babble friends
any a would be good
thats what I was talking about - didnt really mean belt...lol
Nan, have a safe trip.
well, in that case, it was pale blue with some lace. dear mama gave it to me as part of a shower gift. :)
aawwwww - thanks Bugsaw
ty Molly -- the first day's driving will be tough, but once we get south of Portland it should be OK
i think the guys in the other section were curios since this has never happened before...and i made pumpkin bread that they devoured 2x
shhhh bugs --- don't tell EVERYONE! LOL
have a great time
oooh, it's raining, how lovely
how about opposite of afar, glantarell?
awww...sounds pretty eva...blue's my fav color
opposite of afar beginning iwth a?

Hi Welki :-)
yes, soodle, I forgot that "a" was in fact NOT spelt "ae". -.-

Mkg... the CH 8 is a stand-alone word. Think of a male character in Friends
Snap Champ!!

A ch8/55 is one who sells ca6/24s.
pt word please?

Hi! Yes...can't get past the guy's name. really? a seller of ca6's? I didn't look it up yet.
I'd clue the pt6 but nobody would understand me. :'o(
Pt, plus the romantic name for the country I come from....

OK, think Ms Brockavitch.... as portrayed by Julia Roberts..
Now THAT I GOT! Ty
lol yw Champ
oh gee what was that first name................
pt6/21 is a biheterocyclic ring (pyrimidine and pyrazine) with a ketone and amide group?
oh yeah...that's what I thought it was! :)
that clue confuses even me <.< I can define the word but wouldn't have gotten it from the definition
i though it was ira but cant be.
darn, dont remember first name.
isn't the romantic name aire(n)? :o/
google it mkg
Pronounced Airan, DF, but spelt as in Ms Brockavitch.
♥
ok.
I am wracking my brains trying to think of a clue for the ch 8... before my poor old brain melts... is anybody stilll looking for it?
ah, I see. :o/ but crosswords use aire for "Ireland of rhyme"
Joel ch****** Harris, author
Ch8...wasn't that a character on Friends?
Soodle, I though your "Friends" clue was a great one!
I thought we did that already? OR...you could say ca7 with an additional vowel for the second letter.
Oops, already done.
need en 6 21 clue for first one please.
Oh good. I wasn't sure if anybody had got it. Hello Moll ((())))

GOT IT! ty...
Soodle, right after that, when the trolls arrived, Mom changed her to troll dolls. : P
oh i loved those troll dolls when i was a child
Oh great, Moll. I can never understand why trolls are entertained in the chog. I adopt a Deaf/Blind attitude.
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.
flyfishing in ireland in fine, flyfishing in wales is fantastic *ducking*
oh yes, made clothes out of felt
troll doll... braiding hair? o.0
I don't get troll behavior either Soodle. I also wonder if there aren't a few people posting here under two different names.
in wales, though, isn't it true that most of the flyfishing streams are controlled by private fishing clubs?
oh, they were really cute - came in several sizes - fat feet, cure grins and hair in various colours
(i loved troll dolls, too)
yes almost all fishing in wales is controlled by licence
Soodle putting her Tourism Ireland hat on.... Welki... flyfishing in Ireland would be great... with the added advantage of a minor
but you can buy day/week licences
Babble meet as well!
of course tyou could do a celtic tour - there are ferries between ireland and wales LOL
Now you are talking
i am back again!!
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 :)
babble guides would be free LOL
and they might even offer accommodation
do you flyfish, glantarell? soodle?
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!
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
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
Golly Molly - Do you really think that established Babblers are trolling?
So sorry to hear that news JBV
i can tell you that the sight of me in waders would make a grown man pluck his eyes out
((((JBV))))) Prayers out for you.
((((JBV))))
Moll, just read your profile - that is a wonderful philosophy - thank you
ow. $1500 round trip to dublin
(((JVB))) You are in my thoughts and prayers.
You obviously mean a lot to people here,JBV
i would love a clue for en 6 21 first one.
JBV, those words help me as I am dealing with loss also. I'm glad they helped you too.
when you say trolling are we talking internet behaviour or fishing behaviour?
it is a great comfort to have these virtual hugs - I love you all
found the word. i saw it clued before but couldnt get it.
does welki look wonderful in waders? ;-)
Heaps and heaps of virtual hugs to JBV.
oops wrong word. sorry dont have it. so if anyone has that first en 6 please clue it.
hi JBV... sorry not to have known you before this... condolences for your loss :o(
JBV, think of all the good thoughts and prayers headed your way as a magical blanket of comfort you can wrap around yourself.
welki in wader looks like a pillsbury doughboy in brown
en6 - to be engrossed or en6 to be loved
ROFL welki
isnt that the second one glant?
Does Welki look good in waders? Ask all the eyeless men running blindly around the chog......
JBV - always alive and loved in your memories. Hang on to those good memories.
sometimes i think i even scare the fish
got it.
ty
JBV So sorry for your loss
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
any clues for et 6?
Are you still on line, JVB?
a gas...
hmm, I should leave before I miss my bus :o/ bye all
patience and finesse ... it's the finesse i have issues with (fishing and in life, in general *lol*), but i catch my share :)
bye, dfm
bye dfm
although, i think women generally pick up flyfishing quicker than men do ... something about the whip-like motion of the line ;)
Jeepers, Welki.. Just saw your post.. $1,500 to dublin? Crikey.
oh dear - that brought a picture of a woman in thigh high leather boots etc
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.
i suppose they'd be ~~haute couture waders~~
ROFLMAO
i don't understand "cracked on your icon" molly
Oh, thats horrible, Moll. Its almost an invasion of your Babble privacy, isn't it?
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)
what?
i don't get cracked on your icon either
what happen?
(((Soodle rapidly retracts the invitation for Welki to stay chez Soodle)))
giggle - glantarell doesn;t retract
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.
how rude!
why have i been retracted? *unpacking*
surely your own icon is your onw business?
who told you that?
I don't want to start name calling Welki. It's in the chat archives around 8 this morning.
WHAT? Hate when I pay attention and find out someone was rude to someone else...
as long as you icon meets minimal pg13 standards who cares?
soodlebum'sicon is lots of candles - has comment nbeen made about that?
Hello jmc
Jeepers, Welki. You are still very welcome here. As long as you keep your clothes on...
hi lynxx let me go put some clothes on!
Soodle, do peole celebrate Hanukkah in Ireland?
you couldn't find a more modest welki
aaah, the irosh are prudes LOL
Was the icon a 'moving/flickering one Molly - perhaps that is why
Nope, I don't post those kind. I don't even think you can here.
Just the Jewish ones, Bichon!
Is it meant to hypnotize? Doesn't take much!
ty for et clue. got it.
Lots of non-Jewish people celebrate it here. More holidays the better
some people have posted moving icons but they only move when they are big
any clues for fi 5 please?
which one?
refresh -- the winning outfit is my icon now
Really Bichon? I've never met a non-Jew that celebrated Chanukah
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
which one? the first is fi + you watch movies at the ***ema
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..
In the US, because there are so many Jews, the edges of these holidays are blurred
BBL to finish...
hi soodle, I'm back
That's what I love so much about Ireland
ty champ that was it.
hi jbv -- sorry to hear of your loss -- don't let my ca6ss let you think otherwise
fi5 another new word - goish you are all helping my education
My d.i.l. who is in no way Jewish, celebrates Hanukkah. She's buyig a menorah even as we speak
need fr 5 16 the only one worth 16 points please.
what is the deal with celebrating hanukah when not jewish? i dont get it.
Was the ceremony nice, JVB.. Could you tell you tell us about it?, if its not too painful...
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...
Schools tend to celebrate a lot of holidays and kids come home and want to know why they don't celebrate it
do i have to read the silly archive to find out who this was?
I celebrate Hanukkah, I am Jewish, but totally an agnostic
fr5.16 fr & *** Sharples from Coronation Street
some kid names Mark Jones jmc
oh he is new-- just started yesterday
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
new to manners too obvfiously
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.
{{{JBV}}} sounds like it was lovely
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
what is this? A newbie who put his foot in his mouth
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!
well if he apologized then let it go
(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! :)
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.
i like her new one saint :-D
anyone have the first two UP's?
*echoes soodles' sentiments*
anybody have any ups?
up + you may **** a movie so others can know it's appropriate
there are ups? I only have downs :-(
thanks bichon
thanks bichon
my glass is always half full so I always have ups
And, to finish, JVB, just remember that your Babble friends are here for you, and are ready to listen and support you. ((((JVB)))
lol good on you glan
up 6/24 (2nd one) up + cry crocidile ****s
amen soodle
thanks, soodle - you are all wonderful, this is one of my favorite places to be
thanks jmc
pu 7/44 please?
mine is sometimes half full but then I drink it
bichon your UP clue competely went over my head
jmc you need to start with a full glass LOL
I ma stuck on the un 6/30, un 7/48 and the final up
pu7 = pu like the dog + dung****s (blue jeans)
pu&/44 is a weird turban thing - google indoan headgear
A cup is always full .. Sometimes it's half full of air ..
JMC... your last comment was spoken like an Irishwoman!
un + "Born ****" the movie about Elsa the lion
thanks welki
*ahem* Scottish blood practically pure
hi torgie! *waves*
Heyas kids ..
thanks for the uns
Yah. Scottish/Irish.... the Celtic blood is obvious!
up 6/24 up + shed a **** for those whose glasses are neither half filled or half emptied
<-- 50% irish
hi Torg!
soodle - how could you firget your celtic cousins here in wlaes
hooray - fireworks for me
no te4/4s for a full glass
You didn't have to tell me that Welki. That was obvious...
whoo hooo kazzer
thanks for all your help doing the grid today
soodle, I was so very sorry to hear about your pup -- tons of hugs to you
Congrats Kazz!
Oh Une. thank you. I was immersing myself in
hi Une
(my dad used to say that there are shanty irish, lace curtain irish and the kind of irish we are .. pigShit*
hey, lynxxx :-)
oh soodle, what happened? (with the pup, I mean)
Babble. But I am typing from a very sad house
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
my m-i-l called the kennedys lace curtin irish and looked down her patrician boston nose at them
Oh, JBV, compared to your loss, ours is trivial, but our little dog, Buster was knocked down and killed on
Wednesday.
oh so sorry soodlebum
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
oh how sad soodle I am so sorry
oh, I'm so sorry to hear that Soodle, that's very sad
Was Buster a Jack Russell?
As I said, JBV, trivial compared to your loss.
When I was in Ireland there were all these little jack Russells running around in the road
hmm i am just changing things on my profile - i think
yes, soodle, but also we were more or less preparing ourselves, while yours I'm sure was a terrible shock
I swear they looked both ways when they crossed
No Bichon. He was a pure mongrel. We got him from the resuce centre in June. He was so exuberant (sp?)
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
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. :-(
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
Sorry to hear about your pupster Soodle. I know how much a little guy can mean to a family
Thank you.
oh soodle that is especially poinant
very true, jmc
okay to change the subject so we don't all drown in our te4/4s. . . my big job interview is monday
7.5 hours from meathe to brecon
I'm home... and hi JBV :o)
(btw soodle, my dad's family's from cork)
7.5 hours well spent
Oh, JMC, I had no idea you were changing jobs... What is the job your going for?
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)
my icon is now my interview clothes -- thank you all for voting but the polls are now closed
very exciting, jmc -- we'll all be crossing fingers and toes on Monday! :-)
and if neither of those jobs pan out I will do something else
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)
are you considering moving to another city, jmc?
too hard to babble with crossed fingers
alas I may have to move to quaker mecca
*shudders* philly
i interview well, but hate them with a passion. 'tell me about a time when,' 'describe a circumstance in which...' *blech*
umm, checking my world atlas,.... where is that?
but i am having dinner with TO and possibly others
oh, Philly - closer to NJ - maybe we can meet sometime
cork? in ireland, jbv
no, welki, I meant quaker mecca :)
up to having dinner Monday night? where in nj?
I didn't get those questions during my interviews... :o/
no they will ask me if i like to do public speaking and what is my experience in raising $$$
no, dear, not Monday night - I'm too wrapped up in my immediate to-do list, but soon, I promise
off for a bit .. happy babbling
I live in central NJ - near Rutgers University
exit 9
another time then jbv I often trundle up to philly
my sil teachers law there
*teahes
jbv! my daughter lives in somerset (she and my middle daughter graduated from rutgers)!
*sigh* TEACHES
small, small world :0
bye for now :)
bye welki
oh de** I spent so much time chatting I won't have time to get a hearcut tonight
JVB. Its very good to see you on here. I would so love to 'trundle up to philly' with Jmc, and have a meet with you. ((()))
bye welki!
bye welki :o)
Hearcut????
living on the eastern coast of the US has its plus side!
An eartrim????
Yes, JMC is getting her ears trimmed. : P
especially if you began in Texas where everything is so far apart
lol *haircut
wish we could meet halfway, Soodle, but we'd end up int he Atlantic Ocean !
or hairscut if you prefer
Oh, thanks for reminding me. Its been a while since i got my ears trimmed.... :-)
soodle would be soggy
JMC is going to be STYLING on Monday. Look out Philly!
off to bed peeps - and off to parents for the weekend, so see you next week
that supposes that I manage to get my haircut tomorrow molly I is going to a birdday party tonight
Ditto, JBV. But... if you ever manage to get this side of the Atlantic.., well, we will have a Babble meet to end all Babble meets... and thats a promise!
bye glan
bye glan
byeeeee
Party it up JMC. Have fun.
Once again, thank you all for your wonderful company this evening. I am off to bed, but I am going with a smile on my face. Good night, my good friends..
yeah i think i am heading home early to change into something more partier
bye soodle!
*does a quick celtic dance*
night soodle!
Soodle left utterly speechless by JMC's celtic dance. Poofing before speechlessness is noticed by fellow babblers. Poink
good night, soodle and thanks for that very enticing invitation -
*waves sadly bye bye to soodles* back in a minute
back
hi stid
oh! (((((JBV)))))
btw that was 2 min
hi jbv ((((hugs))))
LOL wild!
in case you needed to know
hi stid :o)
how is everyone doing?
suddenly headachey :o(
busy and tired as always ... you?
sorry dfm
poor dfm *offers tea*
I absolutely cannot see the 20 words it says I have left to find
not bad, wild. tired, but not horrible. stidkids are where they are supposed to be at the moment!
I have 61 to go.
mmm, tea ^.^
tea has been what I've been wanting when I get home every day ... very comforting
I really like tea.... :-D
I get tea at the office... but usually make a cup or pot of good quality looseleaf tea when I get home...
I adore tea.
ga
go flosey go!
hi stid, just sat down and getting ready to go!!\
:-D
had to bake for a pot luck tonight
hi flosey! :o) your icon is still black-on-black, I see ;o)
hi flo
mmmm. what did you make?
yes, haven't found a word here that I could use
apple crumble, jilli
oops, stid
jilli on my mind
cu 7/40 please?
cu7/40 is the ore from which we get the metal used in wires
she's okay, yes?
hey Luv!
hi stid!
wow, thanks dfm, interesting, have the word, but would not have found it from your clue, would have googled from there
oh yes, stid, she's just very busy
thanks for the CU
busy is okay then. I am glad I am not retired... LOL
wire-metal (in latin) as a prefix, ore ending as a suffix? Would that be a better clue?
I've often said the same stid, retired people are free to volunteer EVERYWHERE!!!!!
(and they do!)
and man o man, there's no end
I've just wangled my way out of everything!
*yawn* I have to stay awake and alert long enough to pick Tom up at 5... *yawn*
good for you flosey! *stern mama look* shouldn't overdo.
when are you going to see grands again? that cutie pie on the mainland for instance?
was over there for a few days, stid, went on the 25th, back 30th
oh! that's nice -- how are they?
"punane" inherently silly word jokes?
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
oh my! that's a scary thing. Hope he will remember that lesson!
*practicing stern grandmother looks* (just in case I need them within the decade)
Heyas kids ..
hi tor :o)
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
TOR!!! *faint*
Don't think I've met you before...
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.
tor, dfm --- dfm, tor.
woohoo firebirds
hi tor
I have been highly irregular lately ..
Yay wild!
wtg wildcat, well done
congrats wild!
YAY wild!!!
*feeds tor cereal with lots of fiber* there you go... *hands BIG glass of water, too*
are you well otherwise, dear friend?
oops. *sits in PB*
I mean HERE irregularly ..
I am very well ..
*oh-no-now-what-have-you-done-mama look* ;o)
:-D *innocent mama look* glad to hear that!
de 4, dfm... *sigh*
ty leave it to tor to stir up the chog
I'm an imp ..
that you are, you young rascal!
*grin* I have missed seeing you. I have almost a whole month left to be babbling!
why only a month, stid? :oS
then I am back into full-time grad school work. not much fun, but hopefully worth it
hello imp and all
hey TO!
tea break'
hi TO! :o)
That is a pretty icon, TO
Heya TO
ty stiddy
gane
well with 49 to go, i am stumped
I am incupated.
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.
3 up words TO
upwards? I'm not sure, it's kinda hard to tell, TO...
seems like it *sigh*
at least, that's what I have
Oh- I didn't see the up. I'm a little under the weather.
how can you tell which word is up?
that is really an intersting expression. how can one be either under or over the weather?
hi cos! :o)
Well, say here is the weather:---------------------
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.
hi
I call my umbrella "The Weather", so when it's raining, I'm under The Weather.
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."
the first fi5?
It's sort of like the fi word you just wrote, but with a lisp
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
ah u had me typing in firth a few times lol
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.
oh its not a problem. i hope you feel better soon
I yam what I yam.
i mean, it is wild/
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?
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
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
what if the problem is that there is too much duct tape? :o/
seriously how many up words?
the first fr 5/18?
Then take some off and get stronger tape
NM
SOrry
TO not sure
3 TO and hello everyone
MOMMMMMMMMMMM
(((((Herin)))))))
((TO)), do you want stats?
hey mom
Hi TO
having dinner but watching chat. pitiful.
I do that at breakfast and lunch
I am just floating along here
is that good, Herin?
this yam could be better
are you eating it plain?
no salt/butter
maybe a little brown sugar?
all of a sudden my appetite is back
Maple syrup and butter TO!!!
that is a good thing
ty molly. i think half is enough. i will save room for dessert
((Molly)) I think your icon is irritating me, please change it, it has been here since this morning rofl
What's for dessert?
Am back for a bit. The first 3/4's of this puzzle was much easier!
yeah, me too
Hi Champ
Mom!! Nice try, but you couldn't be rude if you tried. : D
hello!
lol. **sigh**
hi champ! i think a ganola bar
I'm glad you're feeling better TO.
Fiber One...good for many things! ;)
or a granola bar
I have a batch of chocolate peanut butter oatmeal treats in the fridge. I will gladly share
never! there are blogs devoted to them
to what? Fiber ONe?
what are they? are they buckeyes?
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
Hoo-ah! Mom made treats!
are they cookies?
like a candy cookie
Are they going in the PB?
hi all
yes to champ. they have terrible effects.
hi barb
you cook everything but the oats and peanut butter and then mix them in. delicious
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!
Hi Barb's Horses
now my dad claims no ill effects at all.
I have mixed up refrigerator cookies and chocolate chip cookies but they are not baked
Well, one at a time, maybe not. Although you probably don't want to be around too many peeps right after...
I can put the dough in the pb
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!
off I go. But we will have all the treats Molly.
Hi Herin.
hmmm, i smell a de5
hi herin
Mom and I will see y'all later.
I imagine when I wake up in the morning there will be spoonfuls missing in the choc chip dough
Hi all! DAng...need to head to PB myself. What to give up...
wait, mom. you still did not tell me what they are
give up the ee 4/6 Champ
eely
OH DARN...to the PB with me!
No Mom, we are like the shoemaker's elves. There will be two more bowls of dough in there.
Thanks
HI Barb
the chocolate peanut butter oatmeal treats? They are like fudge but not as thick and have oats in them
this is a conspiracy. i smell de5
lol Champ, that is a hoot
Well done, TO!
Sorry...busy munching...yum!
I'll send you the recipe Owl, if you would like. It is a microwave recipe
Hmm...milk or coffee? BOTH!!
tea for me please
ty mom. yuck, i canno get the taste of that awful roll out of my mouth even after a whole dinner
coffee with Bailey's!
the actual name of the recipe is Peanut Butter Fudge Candy. But we have NEVER called it that.
MOM! That sounds DELICIOUS.
the Hawaiian Roll?
the oatmeal thing
Mom said the C word again!!! : P
id love a copy of the recipe if possible
yes. it sucked big time.
Champ, pass the Bailey's please.
Cosdem, I can post it in my profile or I can email it to you, preference?
*passes to Molly*>>>
now i will have to eat my dark chocolate sea salt bar to kill the taste
oh de** TO
maybe it was stale
howiekent@q.com feel free to send it :)
i will try some cinnamon cider, my new fave
could have been
hello again, back for a few more
hi flosey!
Mom, how about putting your recipe in your bio - I'd like it too, if I may
hi flosey...have to go make dinner might be back later by all for now
Will do Flosey, and hello
bye Barb's

no...must be a slug...
ahh got it :)
me meither
tyvm!

I did find that I had to adjust my cooking time with this microwave, the original recipe is from 1974. I cook mine 2 min. 30 sec. the first time, stir and then cook it for 2 min. 25 sec.
you wouldn't think 5 sec. would matter but it did :)
Hi everyone!
LOVE the microwave!
Hi Brookie

Hi Mom!
BBL peeps...must attend to hubs for a bit...I don't have it either Mom!

sorry Cos, I don't have it
this is not getting me going. Later everyone.
I have never smoked anything
*Points finger at Cos* re the ga5
bye bye Herin
lol
Hi and bye herin
well no one can find it
Maybe Mom put it in the munchies. Awwwww!
not me! I have never seen the stuff
I got it though by point value

And you didn't inhale, right Mom. : D

thanks doxy

thanks, have to go.
thanks TO and Cos
bye bye Doxy
Okay that's what happened to the ga5. Mom cooked it on the stove and got her whole family high.
no. no. no
brb walgreens run
seriously doubt walgreens will have it
I must be completely naive because I'm not getting the ga5 reference.
June Cleaver indeed. She had us all fooled. : P
Brookie, just keep monkeying, you'll get it that way
Brookie, go on an angle from the G and use the 6 point tile
How many points is it?
lol be careful what yo cook, i;ve seen houses blow up depending on what they are cooking
Brookie, word in the grid that means Jamaican reference to pot. As in weed. As in dope.
5/24

Monkeyed it, thanks. And thanks for the education. :-)

I changed my icon. Let me know if it's annoying anyone. : P
{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{Nutty}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}} }}}} hello de**, how are you? How is school?
oh Molly, that just isn't going to do
Hello. It looks ok Molly, should it be annoying?
me fantabulous, and schools pretty good too
oop, hot guy on phone, gotta go
Hello Babblers, how is your Friday evening - or whatever it is in whatever part of the globe you are in.
I am so glad to hear that. I have missed seeing you
Mom! Heaven forbid. I would never insult June Cleaver. She is the patron saint of Motherhood.
Hi ((Red)) and Wht
lol Molly
bye bye Nutty, thanks for popping in
Red, it was a joke. Earlier today, I was told that my candle icon was annoying and asked to take it down.
it is good here Wht, how about you?
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!
yep, really Red. And he picked the worse time to say it. Haz, Annie, Ata were all on
Mark somebody or another
Huh. that is too odd.
and Sally Cat lover was here as well
he got it from all sides
wowee... how can a candle be annoying?
well, gosh Red, it had been up there over a week (that is what he said)
okay, back. who missed me?
Where did you go, Molly?
oooh my...i bet my mismatched icons really would irritate!
hi nut!
He did Red. And he actually posted "the funeral was over a week ago". Meanwhile, the funeral was yesterday.
some players never change their icon, shouldn't offend anyone
It was your candle and here I am answering all the questions
turty!!!
Nutty!
that was a quick call Nutty
Hi everyone
Molly that is insane. If you want to keep a candle up all year, you can!
Hi Sea
hi sea!
yes well, i'm not sure why he called, it wasn't a good time for him to call
of course not, you are on babble
heh...i meant him, but DUH YEAH
I suspect there is more to what happened this morning. Time will tell.
or it wasn't a good time for him
men are so silly
i prefer to think he's so smitten he just can't go without calling
Molly, he always seemed so respectful when playing other times. I was surprised that he did that
excellent call Nutty
do i know whom we are talking about?
wonder if soething else is going on with him?
Mark is his first name, his last name escapes me
I feel kinda weird...I just changed my icon lol
so not a membere of my old gang?
ah, Sea, I have changed mine several times today
oh sea your icon is sooo nice!
no Nutty, a relatively new one
i still have a candle....am i the next target?
gotcha...not many oldies floating about anymore
I don't see to many of the old gang on at night. But then again, I am not on at night very often
thank you, but I walk in on this discussion about Molly's candle....that was very rude
Who you callin' old?
NUTTY!!!
you could very well be Red
i'm not changing my icon to please anyone...i paid so it could be what i want
Hi Tor
TORG!!@
((LBD)) hello
how you doin ya lech?
You never know Red. Personally, I think the unregistered Mark posts here under another name as well. I've seen that kind of behavior on the internet before.
ahh, nutty forever being herself! (((HUGS)))
well, I'm ready. Had a long day at work and I anit taking no guff!!!!
I rarely change my icon because I make a mess out of it but if stidmama helps me, it works.
heya snoops dawggy
(((MOM))) hey torg! and hi everyone
Hi Stidgmere
heya stidger
I dawger et all. I have 0 words and almost no time. I shall quietly work the grid and watch the chat. Hi evan and Mom

Hi red, we're home with some lights on the porch and gate posts.
I also must go, Too cold here must get under covers.

*Passing the toasty electric blanket to Red*
yeppers, far as i know
and have you had any hot bod dates?
oh dawg are you out of the loop
i'm seeing a hot bod that looks like russel crowe
apparently, nut..
!!!! do tell!
i told him he had me at employed
lol
where'd you meet him?
eharmony, the bastards
is that why i haven't seen you here for ages?
it accounts for the last two months at least
are you going to introduce him to babble?
i'm not thinking he'd be much into babble, he doesn't have internet
hmmm, doesn't like computers or just not into having it at home?
just not into it at home
steals signal from the neighbors if he needs online
ahhh, more time to spend with you!
not too much, i tend to get to feeling smothered otherwise
back from yet another break! hi stidgmere, don't see much of you lately
flow see!
needing space is good, but having the time to give you space is good too
Hi Flo
hi eva
and lbd
living an hour away is good
almost a long distance relationship!
tell me about your first date!
just long enough i say
Hi flosey. No, I have not been on for a while and different times.
How are you doing with the weather turning colder and all?
ha, we went to a restaurant, then across the road to the winery where i was buying some bottles as gifts
and was not permitted to pay for a single thing
we then proceeded to behave like a couple of teens in the parking lot. it was all good.
bet that felt weird, but nice!
it's milder now stidgmere, raining in fact
what's he do?
defense attorney
OOOHHH!!! don't tell him about your pirating days!
why not? i know a good defense attorney.
We're dry and clear here in Washington State. I spent some time editing our Christmas letter today. The things my husband thinks to put into it are quite amusing.
well, amusing is much better than some we receive
does he know how to tread water?
careful, no walking him off the plank yet...i still have use for him
christmas letter...oh geez, i need to start working on ours
*waggling eye brows* ahh yeah, i bet you do.
hi again
my christmas letter...."dear friends and family...I'm still alive. Thanks"
We have moved past the our life is perfect to a more realistic letter. It was nice once a year to fantasize about everything being perfect.
hi TO
heya owlzy!
gonna grab my bath and return
don't have too much fun without me
I would love to get an amusing Christmas letter. Some of the ones we have gotten are downright disturbing.
use soap, nutty
And shampoo.
hey nut!
One of my editor friends always sends an amusing christmas letter, she'll even include her editing marks to show where her husband contributed. lol
Well, its one way to keep in touch. Meanwhile i should warm some dinner as the night descends. Blessings to you all.
supper break, bbl
bon apetit, stidgmere and flosey

I hope it doesn't disrupt power
Hi Crossy :-)
i have vodka,bacon,my mrs and my babble buddies so im hunkering down;)

lol
(down to 2)

I have 11 left
as to power,i have candles,a naptha lantern a dynamo powered radio 8 blankies in the blanket box and my mady...i shall be warm:))))
my lady*
I played most last night and came in about a half hour ago and saw some real fishies and monkeyed a fair amount, too...
sounds comfy !
...and the monkeys have been working hard...they'll need a vacation after this one!
Hello snowbunnies!
hi scrabbler
o shall put the extra bankies on da bed,make some jumbo martini,s light the candles and play strip poker by candle light later;))
,we are getting tons of snow right now,grab yer snowshoes and get up here
hi scrabs ;)
Great plans, Crossy!
oooooh... :-)
TMI, crossy!!! LOL
and nobody loses :-)
i know the martini,s are a tad over the top pini:))
Hi went xc-skiing today--first day of the season thanks to lake effect snow over last 3 days
ROFL!
you enjoyed scrabs?
Hope you had a great time, scrabs!! (*missing snow here*)
eyes not a problem
?
yeah, crossy...I think it was the martinies that were making me nervous! LOL
3 wipe-outs including one with patella meeting a rock--ouch! Big bruise + quite sore. But we had a blast!
Scrabs, I'm so glad you had a good time.
I was given permission to restart exercise--I am thrilled because I missed my endorphins.
ouch to the knee but happy you were happy :_
scrabbler! just finished reading jeremy's latest article .. last week's NEJM! (proud proud momma)
* pyrotechnics *
yay pini!
wtg, Pini !!
* curtsy *
clue for pu7 please?
This is where we skied: http://www.friendsofknoxpark.org/photo _gallery.html
whoooo hooooo PINI!!
Yahoo Pini!
pu + anagram of: I 'concur' with you
pu + needle fish + double vowel
Wowee Doren! Send me a link.
pu7 ends with the ending of what we used to call blue jeans (minus an n and the plural)
pu7 small dog with mushed in face + do you *g*** with the right to remain silent?
I thought of that direction too, dorens
ty!
Knox Farm was donated to the state by the Knox family--a beautiful vast farm for hiking, etc.
reading hard copy nov. 25 issue.. title Pharmaceutical Marketing and the new social media
Doren, as in patients TELL the MDs which Rx they want?
showing our age, diane
hey guys
Hi Owl--how are you & Dad?
remember a song... ******** Doll ???
yah... remember the good old days when they only advertised in medical journals? one of these days they are going to explode on facebook/twitter/blogs.. that' s what he's talking about
hi TO :-)
owl, how goes it? you in nj? (i'm in MA)
scrabs, i am feeling better, ran errand today and appetite returned dad's penumonia exray showed decrease
brb - puppy pause
hi diane!
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
Don't push yourself too much, Owl.
i agree scrabs. and owl, nj tomorrow, where on sunday? dc? you are moving too fast
define push yourself
ok*deep breath*
And there are too many laissez faire American MDs that write Rxs fr whatever the patient desires.
meeting je in bethkehem on sunday
have a great time owl. and yes, scrabs. it is insane that they do this
scrabs, skiing went well?
Big Pharma = money-hungry monster!
are these u words normal words? (needing7 more and not seeing)
Yes, fun, Owl. Just a bruised patella from a wipe-out onto a rock.
his angle is that yes, they need money for r and d, but some regulation needs to be involved
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\\\
AND MDs must strengthen their spines and use the right meds for the right situations.
HI dfm :-)
scrabs, i beleive i am cleared to workon monday. sound right?
how many ups?
3
3
3 ups
owl what was your diagnosis?
hmmmm i have 0
df, the snow is heavy so moving skis to snowplow is tough
up + rip
kisses, dawg
now i havve one
Yes, Owl, and in 4-6 wks your hemoglobin will be up to 12.
think numerical score
me too :-) thanks lb
actually was 11 wednesday
up+ heart beat count is your heart ****
Hi dawg + TY
hiya scrabs!

oh here is the christmas vs. holiday fight again
Wow, it is increasing rapidly. Iron + busy bone marrow!
yea! doresn
ty babble buds...a i'm getting there
thanks again, lb
Anybody have a Kindle?
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
drawbacks with kindle and nook are they are proprietory. only can buy amazon or barnes and noble books
Doren, I am considering getting a Kindle.
back ...
haemoglobin numerical score? o.0
hi pini!
Owl, as long as bleeding does not continue your hgb will go up.
crossy has one
wb pini
if you can afford the difference scrabs, look at ipad instead
I d/l Kindle to my laptop...don't have to buy a kindle to read that we
Good point, Doren. First I am going to get a new XC-ski package for $380-480 or so.
we = way
What do you mean, Pini?
Problem with e-readers nowadays is that the formats are all proprietary... i.e. you can't read iPad ebooks on a Kindle...
you deserve both scrabbler
ok peeps, time to finish straightening up . doren if you have that email addy i'dappreciate it
Most likely, in a few decades, we won't be able to read today's e-books at all.
not all of them are proprietory. Kobo, sony, cruz and alibrus are not proprietory
I mean...I read Kindle books on my laptop, Scrabs...
Debating needs vs wants is tough for a frugal person such as me.
Bye Owl
sorry owl, i didn't send it last nite? thought i did... will get to it shortly
I'll get the link if you want to check it out, scrabs...
night, TO
I didn't know that could be done, Pini.
bye scrabs, feel better. bye all
night TO!
doren will you be all with family over the holidays or time to do sightseeing?
I love gadgets so "want" a Kindle, iPad, iPod Touch...
most ebooks have to be downloaded to a computer then uploaded to the reader.
I have an iTouch...comes in handy when killing time waiting for something/someone
and scrabbler, any plans for jersey?
unsure owl... will keep it open, ok
the last re5 please?
The iPad seems to be a larger version of the iTouch
re + *** you're it!
Not til at least the spring. Winter is too uncertain for driving 6 hrs.
i've seen kindles and ipads and there is no question that ipad is superior (imho)
re + ***, you're IT!
(agreed, Dorens)
*poof*
we missed you this fall scrabbs... want to make that an annual tradition
Ty, Pini
I had planned to visit in Oct but then my sister decided to come up here.
tyvm piny!
http://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.html? ie=UTF8&docId=1000426311
ipads are designed to be more than a reader. the cruz is almost a tablet for all that it can do
that leslie has a lot of nerve, and you can tell her that for me scrabbler
if there is a warm spell/thaw then maybe I could drive down before March.
would be terrific scrabbler... particularly if we can get jbv to join us again
Scrabs, that link is for you! :)
Very cool, Pini! I didn't know about that option.
I opted to check it out before going out and getting an actual reader...that way I could "test drive" it before buying ;)
thing about iPad is that unlike other e-books it requires active power.
do a search for e-readers. wikipedia has a good comparison chart
...and I don't actually have to buy the reader since the laptop is portable ;)
e-books are weird, turning the pages is so~oo slow... the page takes ~0.3s to clear and 0.5s to render...
but a single battery lasts practically forever.
hmm, pini, that looks like a good app to put on my tablet :o)
;)
TY, dawger--found it
last word.... I will ask for help.... then go finish making my Christmas cards ! un 7/48
add cons to un6
(i.e., pt)
past tense the 6, diane
oops... have that one... should have said the first un7/48
Dawg, that's a lot of info
borders has a free ebook app too.
just before "out of shape" word
un7 = un + your *****! (out of a job)
I keep reminding myself about the public library--free stuff!
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 !
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)
There are names that I never heard of
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" :-)
I am stopping at 166 words and 1992 points.Bye to all
Goodnight to my fellow babblers! I'll see you tomorrow
must be nice to be creative, diane
night, Minver
night, Min
Bye Min
Which are the non-proprietary ones?
sony, kobo, cruz, alibrus, are the ones that i know for sure are not proprietory
20 left!
go for it, Cos !
go cos!
with so few words left im starting to see all the babblets lol
I need chocolate!
(sorry for the random thought)
git'r dun, cos
in eating mounds! want some?
I prefer Almond Joy (partial to milk chocolate)
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.
sometimes you feel like a nut.. sometimes you don't!
i wish almond joy came in dark chocolate
I love dark chocolate!
me too lbd!
going to start making truffles tomorrow
too bitter for me
if that's the right word
I like dark chocolate... especially 95%+... :oD
it can be bitter, pini.
i found an easy recipe to make truffles with using oreos.. im going to do that this weekend
i make a variety of truffles, chili, cinnamon, almond, cherry, all are dark chocolate except the almond, that one is a white chocolate.
in 6/21 ??
raspberry?
brb (phone)
to start something like a riot, sammy
yes, i've done raspberry, but they are better with fresh raspberries.
or a really good raspberry jam.
*drool*
*drool*
thanks ib
haha i only meant to type it once, but it seems appropriate.
:oD~~
i've also made them with booze, kahlua, baileys, rum, and brandy
I bought myself a very nice early christmas present today
*hands LA a drool bib*
And it was what, cos?
what was that, cos
how do you all succeed in making me feel hungry less th4 an hour after I eat? :o/
that's life in babbleland, dfm
Season 1 of the reimaging of "V"
and tomorrow, I'm going to dip some ginger chunks in dark chocolate.... I love ginger !
oooh, that sounds good, diane
we'll all gain weight, just reading the chat.
coffee beans + melted 95% dark...
i was supposed to do christmas shopping today but i decided to buy myself goodies instead.. so ill do the shopping tomorrow :P
i'll take the virtual weight over the gazillion calories otherwise
the thrift store has a 50% off everything tomorrow so..
I never heard of "V".
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 :-(
its based on an old tv series about alien occupation.. it was famous for the alien queen eating a gerbil on tv
YIKES!!
that was for the wasted chocolates...eeeew for the V
i don't like coffee in the chocolate much. rather ruins the chocolate.
why did they think they'd gone bad? :o(
instant coffee crystals, lb ?
hello, diane, ruru, cos, scrabbs, dfm, dawg, et al
not a lot of coffee, dc. just a tich.
Because they didn't recognize the flavour, and thought they were disgusting.
hi dc :o)
Hello, dc
Hi Seain
how's snow going, scrabbs?
depends on what i'm making diane. sometimes it's just a tablespoon of leftover coffee, or instant coffee crystals.
putting milk in chocolate sorta ruins the chocolate too, at least for me <.<
what an awful waste of good ginger and chocolate, diane.
yeah, i'm not a huge fan of milk chocolate either, dfm
FW
I agreed.... and we still laugh about it today.
congrats cos!
whooooo hooooo COS!!
The snow band hit north of me. We got 6-8 inches. Towns east of Buffalo got 36-42 inches!!
way to go... Cos !!!
congrats, cos
Yahoo Cos!
welp, time to go watch blue bloods with hubs. see you all tomorrow!
this gvies me time to watch the "sorcerer's apprentice" before flip.. bbl for flip!
night, lb
I think Toronto is buried in snow right now, am I right? :o/
see you later cos... if I stay up that late
g'night dawg, and njoy, cos
Crossy was getting creamed with snow.
in that case, the Toronto area is probably buried :o) time to call home, in that case...
I am ready for bed. 112 words remain hidden.
i just woke up from another nap. Tired day today
I'm currently failing miserably at trying to nap.
litlle late for a nap...
why not pull up the blankies and just sleep?
hey all
hi stid! :o)
if I go to sleep sleep now, I'll wake up at ~0600 :o(
what's wrong with that?
early to bed, early to rise and all that.
but then it feels so weird... I usually go to bed shortly after the sun rises (or, up here, shortly before it rises)...
*eats LOTS of garlic and gets a silver cross out* why is that, dfm?
*innocent mama look*
yes, I have sharp fangs too! but blood tastes funny, I think I'll stick to rice and cooked meat.
rofl
did you try warm milk?
I usually sleep from 0500h to 0900h, plus or minus an hour
<-- is insomnic... and I think narcoleptic now...
that's not enough sleep.... humans need more than that longterm
gee whiz, dfm!
no wonder you play all those games
well, since I started doing that I've been actually able to wake up and not randomly fall asleep :o/
http://nancylebov.dreamwidth.org/44693 4.html is about wooden gears in odd shapes.
well that's okay -- if you are sleeping better when you do sleep.
hi, stid
hey seain!
gee that looks amazing!
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
:oO dc you use Dvorak too?
wow dfm. 9 hours is barely enough for me... better with a nap. of course I rarely get more than 8 and no nap
when I sleep *more* is when I start having narcoleptic spells throughout the day...
have since 96, dfm
9h is about right for me most nights
do you use typewriter or Windows Dvorak? i.e. SHIFT+, is ; or < ?
de7 pleae?
or archaic Dvorak, for which I don't know what SHIFT + , is? >.>
de7 are ancient Roman coins
numbers, `/~, A, M same as qwerty rest moved. so not sure how to answer your query, dfm
oh :o/ `7531902468[] <== my numbers row ";:PYFGCL{+} <== my top row when shifted
"<>PYFGCRL?+| top row shifted
bottom-left (in place of Z key) is ! unshifted, ? shifted
;: lower left
oh, sorry... was looking at how to make really cool gears.
ch8?
ah, QWERTY-ised Dvorak then...
today I also learned what a CV joint looks like and realized that I made a GOOD decision to replace the ones on my van!
a ch8/55 is one who sells ca6/24s
ch 8 -- a person who makes luminary devices out of tallow or wax?
thanks!!
ty, stid
