lovely jmc, did bf prepare dinner?
no i did he is french and i prepared a southern meal with cornbread dressing
he carved the turkey and i learned a better way to do it
Hi All!! NBT

ah lovely, Mom and Dad had a home on the dessert in Nevada, she learned about the cornbread dressing from friends there
wtg diz
that's one thing I get stuck with and would love to have someone else take over
carving the turkey, I mean

Hi everyone......hope you all had a joyous and peaceful Christmas!
hi all hope your christmas was great!! How many words in this grid?
114
ty
can't stop thinking porous is there
morning all, happy Boxing Day. I hope you all had a lovely Xmas.
Merry Christmas, Sprite! One day late; Americans don't have Boxing Day although I think the custom is a good one
we don't have one either, but it is a holiday anyway. We call it 2nd Xmas Day. Did you have a good day, rubyfoo, yesterday?
very quiet and pleasant, just the two of us and, if I say so myself, the meal was excellent!
wonderful.
what is your Dutch traditional meal?
not sure if you are following the icon themes, rubyfoo, but if you are interested in Xmas lore, this is a fun period for reading up.
In the US, my mother used to make a baked ham, but I don't see those in the stores here
traditional for Xmas? Xmas turkey, or chicken, or game... whazzitcalledagain... venison? Several kinds of side dishes, veggies and potatoes. Some ice dessert as a closer.
but we had a lovely winter stew, and ice with hot cherries as dessert. We don't do the Xmas overeating stuff.
we don't overeat either, so there are lots of leftovers (heating up now)
tonight is homemade soup of brown beans, french breads (flutes), paté, cheese and salad. Yoghourt with apple/cinnamon as dessert.
sounds wonderful!
a normal grid at last, lol. At 2/3 running out of words. That is more like it.
(test)
??
was checking if the chog had frozen on me
no, I was just intent for a minute. found 64 words but have to go and serve lunch

well, 40 left but gotta go...go HOME! time to play "get dressed without pulling your stitches". Later!
byee
Hooray for going HOME!!!! The cats are going to be so happy to see you!
the worlds cutest puppy is chewing on my slipper - how cliche!
my puppy was trying to chew the face off my other dog yesterday, was terrifying
oh dear! in play, or actually being aggressive?
aggresive
don't know why
he had a new toy
the book I have on puppy rearing says a bit of that is normal, and quite helpful. It teaches them not to be biters when they grow up. But I assume they meant the play kind
so now all the new toys are away
wow. I don't know what to say about that. It sounds like pretty normal territorial behavior, but the aggression is troubling, isn't it
really don't think so, but he knew he did wrong
wheee - enable won't take it, but just found "the hottest spot north of havana..."
ok off to get ready to get washers and dryer byeee
bye joanne
hello everyone!
hey, Annie, got wild and woolly weather??
Une, hello, not yet, expected late this afternoon but made to Jersey yesterday and now am back babbling away
Une, how is your mother?
batten down the hatches and take care!
she's still with us, Annie -- vitals are stable . . .
Thank God for that. Do you plan to use your Buddhist citron?
Buddhist citron molded fast once I had it at home -- but it had major entertainment value while it lasted :-)
Une, and you said the scent was lovely too.
oh, the scent was just terrific -- apparently it's used in Japan and China in sachets . . .
Can it be dried and used as room scenters ( not a word but I will use it here)?
Annie, are you going to have a blizard too?
i suppose so -- also, it's candied and sold as a sweet (all new to moi!!)
Is scenters a word? It looks odd.
can't imagine what folks here in Nashville would buy it at Whole Foods and use it for at home :-)
works for me, Annie -- creative word
bichon, I think so starting Sunday night into Monday
can anyone help with 2nd fo 4,7 or 1st lo 4,7?
ok, must go shower and head to Whole Foods for Sunday pickup -- glad we only have an inch of snow and ice!
bichon, are they telling you that you are getting a Nor"Easter?
i have an lo4/7 that's a trendy type of apartment
omg une, TY
Une, do your good work!
yw :-)
later, all *poof*
now just 2nd fo 4/7 to go and then I can do something productive with my day
We're not getting a Nor'easter, just a plain blizzard. We're not on the coast, but we will get major snow
alem,,,fo 4/7, enemies
Had to cancel dinner at our house today for the family though :-(
bichon, the official start of winter, a blizzard
tx annie, but I have that one, need the one after that one but before idiot
alem, dont have the list but will look
fo 4/7 ---postal abbreviation for No.. Sc...., Canada
nouvelle ecosse? hmm. must become smarter.
alem....fo 4/7 province in Canada on the Eastern coast
where LoriP lives, a babbler, in fact she is in the grid
There's a 10 letter word in this grid?
TY Annie I was totally not seeing the upper O. Fireworks and now on to my day
and not one 8
yes bichon it's a lovely one
congratulations, alembick
Good morning Babble buddies!
never fret Bichon, it's a plural, and a 'normal' word - I feared it'd be one of those medical monstrosities
Hi Scrabs, for once we are getting the snow
morning, Scrabbs...how was your Christmas Day
NB, Are you going home today?
Annie, please send prayers and good thoughts to a precious 23 mo old with DS, hole between upper chambers of heart, heart failure, on ventilator since Thurs night, with pneumonia.
Did you depart the hospital NB?
NB--are you home now?
Scrabs, is there more improvement today?
At what age do they operate on the DS?
Scrabbs, I am crying for that little 23 month old. Of course he or she will be added to my prayers as I still pray for all the children. I have not forgotten.
I haven't called the PICU yet. The nurses change shifts at 7am and 7pm so I will call soon. I want to give the nurse time to get morning tasks done.
Yes, I'm home!! :)
DS = Down syndrome. She has an ASD = atrial spetal defect.
Happy Boxing Day
Wooo hooo, NB! How wonderful!
NB, do you have nursing help at home for a while?
Patient = Isla (eye-la).
nb what happened to you? I am behind on the news
Hi Jean!
hi scrabs, merry christmas!
hello Jean
hi annie :-)
good morning and hooray for NB - you must be so glad to be home -
and Scrabbler, I am sending all my thoughts and prayers for you and baby and family
4" and still snowing...woke up to a white world! Hello!
hi JBV and phateon
*sorry, phaeton
I just realized my cupboard is bare since I was planning to be at my sister's for a few days and did not stock up on basic supplies, so I need to get out before the storm hits and get a few things
((JBV)) TY, all I have thought about since Wed was my dear little Isla. The parents are my friends--the mother was close friends with my late friend, Mary. Mary brought us together.
It won't last...will be 60 by Friday
Be careful, JBV. How did yesterday go for you and your son?
well, Christmas is still being postponed - sister and I decided it would be today, but then news of blizzard changed things - we will get together next weekend
Xmas can be whenever it works out for families, esp anyone that worked yesterday.
yes, we've actually been doing this for a few years - neither of us likes to drive in holiday traffic so we just push it back a bit - allows us to do after-Christmas shopping!
My brother and his whole family called from Santa Fe - great to talk to them on SKYPE
and today I have a SKYPE appointment with the Italian cousins!
so it's a little bit festive here
How wonderful to be learning Italian! I am so envious. It's hard for me to find time, but I should carve out 20 min a day.
Hm, I shall now stop typing in J words. There is a reason for repeated rejection.
I need a clue for af 5? please
I am learning a lot from my WordReference.com forum - I had to send an email last night to arrange the SKYPE call, and I had said "tempesta" for snowstorm, but they told me it should be "tormenta"
a + out of bounds in baseball, Annie
JBV, thanks, should have seen that one
tormenta--must remember that. Tempesta sounds as though it should be right too.
tempesta di neve is OK, but tormenta also just means snowstorm
oops, just realized I've sent myself to the PB with all that neve
afternoon all....
hello fish
TY, JBV.
merry christams etc
Merry Christmas to you, Fish!
no snow here yet, better get moving, see you all later
hey you early birds florida is having gale force winds w/ a low tonight of 29F.....this global warming sure is messin' w/ our citrus and berrys
renny!!! a sight for sore eyes
hey annie - i am a sore eye for a sight
Bye JBV.
Rennie, stay warm!
LOL, How are you and hubby?
really scrabs - socks and sandlas look funny but .....
hey annie - mezzer is having his other knee replaced 1/10/2011 - it is cracked after 4 years of being the supporting leg - we are both doing good howz by you and yours?
Annie, I just called the ICU to check on little Isla--she had a stable night.
renny, just read your profile...you will beat the nasty..good luck to mezzie re: new knee and health and happiness in the Land Of Sunshine
Scrabbs, Excellent news
Rennie, I read your profile and didn't know that you moved from TX to FL.
yes scrabs - over 2 years ago
drat, phone
Geez, why didn't I know that? It's tough to keep track of where all of us Babblers live and move to.
probably because i was working 24/7 and getting hours sleep, and trying to get the house unpacked
Where in FL do you live?
south east of tampa in quiet place w/ 3 lakes and no through traffic
I have a friend in Sarasota. Your location sound ideal. But are those lakes full of gators?
renny, redturtlehead, a babbler who is a nurse, lives in Clermont which might be in hollering distance
i'm not brave enough to find out. and if they were the only way they can be removed from the area if they continue to come on your property.
I am a kayaker but I won't do that with gators in the water. Last yr I kayaked in brackish water around Amelia Island + the gators don't go in that water.
i took blondie for a walk this mornig and we went to the small lake - there were ducks swimming - still.... we didn;t stay long
36 left so I will save those for later. Bye, Rennie. Stay warm and protect the plant life.
If ducks suddenly disappear that means a gator yanked them under.
bye scrabs - enjoy your day
Sn**ing here--beautiful outside.
{{{{{{{REN}}}}}}} hello

hagd aloy
hello again, red did you say it's snowing already in Rhode Island? nothing here yet - I thought the storm was moving up the coast
not a flash hallelujah chorus but the sing a long one in toronto if you're interested! http://expatsinthecity.com
FW!
It is snowing like crazy. the boys are out making snowballs...
Hi JBV! and Congratulations KJE!!!
I want snow!!!!
Come to Vermont! We are supposed to get 6 to 12 inches
i have my fingers crossed that my flight from toronto to new york isn't canceled tomorrow!
Got down to 28 here in Austin, but no snow....drat
good luck, Shirl -
the bummer about traveling in winter
Congratulations kje on your fireworks before! Way to go!
maybe the predictions are all wrong- it's happened before
was stuck in buffalo o/n a few years ago, remember that storm?
My relatives are flying back to Colorado, but they do not leave until Tuesday so they should be good to go then.
wasn't the snow in buffalo tho, was an electrical outage at the airport
the worst snowstorm I have ever driven in, was in Buffafo many years ago - never forgot it - scared the daylights out of me
o that one, people still talk about that one
didn't the mayor at the time say: get food, drink, stay inside, make merry -- and he got reelected
don't know about that Shirl but snow does seem to have a way of making or breaking a political career - look at John Lindsay, NYC, 1964 - people were snowed in for weeks - he did NOT get reelected
and I heard the mayor of London say the other day that he does not have authority over the airport - YET ! (I guess he has big plans)
good luck to all travelers and babblers, off to have dim sum with some friends, back later
bye, take care
bye, take care
Goodbye Shirlockc! I will see you later on in the chat log
S's Stomped! 10 left
pr 6/30 plz
ivesy pr6/30 is in the pudding
ty vm
lo f/16 have the first one, plz
i haven't listed yet but perhaps u mean the one where u use a rough scrubber in the shower to exfoliate
no, thats the one i have .. ty though
the other is a plural
lo4,5,5
bbl
what does that really mean though.. where do these sayings come from?.. like cut the mustard, bringing home the bacon, pr6 in the pudding...
ty hootowl!
thats the first thing that came to mind,but also wondered whoever came up with it
guessing the pr5 is in the flan wouldn't sound as good
the answer is in the custard
lol .. it's such a weird saying
Ruru, things being the way they are, you know there is some web site that explains all those sayings. : D
does it mean they've spiked the pudding with alcohol?
Trif knows a website where it tells the origins of these sayings, like "mind your P's and Q's" and such...I will ask her what it is. I find them quite fascinating!
I have a book .... dictionary of idioms, phrases, sayings and expressions
Cool!
They say the actual saying is Proof of the Pudding is in the Eating
Ahhhhhhh.,...
it is an old proverb popular since at least the 1600s, especially with British writers. The only way to know if a pudding is good and has turned out right is to taste it
how many GN words?
2
Oh goodie! I have them both1
Two, one singular and the plural of that.
hooray for Car
walling robwhy!!!! are you still there? My son lives in Austin, he's a musician -- played with mysteriousways, think lizzie and, now, with Orange Jefferson

I need the list. stuck
it is so nice to see my friends on line, all of whom are probably wobbling around having had too much Christmas dinner (like around here!)
I only have 26 left to go and I am trying so hard NOT to use the list, but I think I may have to!
always a joy to see you Ruby
I have problems with the p's!

thx i think
No wonder I couldn't get the 9 and 10. I was working the worng way.

Ruby, no spices in the pumpkin. You like it just plain?
this was a relatively easy Christmas. A friend found me a box of miscellaneous fossils at an auction for less than $200 and husband is tickled.
Yes, I don't like nutmeg....
FOSSILS!!!!!!!! So jealous!
then you have to come to France, car, I have bought him a wonderful collection oever the years, including some fabulous ones. Now I've gotten him a guidebook to make him try to learn the classification. He is a philosopher, not a scientist!
I found a sea fan in shale from China what is like 150 million years old, the size of a tmbstone.
uh oh, the fgin is affecting my typing/spelling.....
wilbur....co 5/18 is CO + turn the lights o** + plural letter
I had better go and eat some "plain" pumpkin tart!!!

Out of all that chaos, most of everybody's attention was focused on my eight month old nephew. He is SO precious!
I made a lovely chicken stock yesterday with garlic, ginger, lemongrass, and onion for flavor. Used some of the chicken in summer rolls for a light supper last night and will make pho this afternoon with the rest. I like being off school so I have time to cook.
My mom made a crown roasted pork for Christmas dinner

ty again.
Crossy, I was watching the History Channel today and pig farming was the topic. They showed insemination--->piglets---> adults---> dead adults---> butchering---> making pork chops, ribs, sausage and BACON!
lol,the art of creating the nirvana that is bacon....
it has been fun, especially with my elementary school aged nephews.
lol everyone,i bet scrabbs is dying to do a lipid test on ole crossy....
You would have been drooling & moaning to see the pork factory---so much bacon!
we had Ham with the classic pineapple and marischino cherries AND beef wellington last night. I feel extremely full.
For you it is bacon, for me chocolate. I have been keeping my serum chocolate level in the therapeutic range for the last wk. I have Lindor truffles calling my name a lot.
after a lipid test and a stress test i would be cut off of everything but tofu and distilled water;)
I have to get my cholesterol rechecked on Jan 4th. Not thrilled about the date!!!
elegant is a choc fiend as well scrabbs
We were all laughing about it at dinner last night.
You would be allowed to eat veggies too.
veggies and also lets see...tofutti.
I LOVE Tofutti! I can eat a pint rather quickly.
can i use beef gravy with my tofu??
and butter?
lol
It will be tofu gravy made to taste like beef.
Soy butter.
I love butter.
I made French toast this morning and debated whether to cover with butter or maple syrup or both. I chose butter.
Min, did you finish or are you saving your last word for tonight?
soy butter...ugh...
and you will only take my eggs away from me if you pry them from my cold dead hands...
Try it, Crossy.
I would prefer "nothing" to "soy anything"
Hi Molly.
Hi Scrabs
Anyone want hot peppermint tea? I made a full pan of it.
I like the soy milk. and yes on the peppermint tea.
Ooo, sounds delicious Scrabs, I'll have a cup.
you steep in a pan now and not a pot?
*holds mug out for Scrabs to fill*
i shopped today and got half off ghirardelli peppermint bark squares - and another 20% off!
I guess it's a pot. Sauce pan? I am not a Kitchen Wizard.
Nice TO!
Hot peppermint tea for all!
lol@half off the bark squares..those must fly off the shelves...;))
and moravian mint cookies and i got two bars of lindt sea salt for presents
Hi Judy. I got a negative score on Scramble yesterday. Sometimes I just cannot see a word at all.
i once made a boiled birch bark connsume..as a survival thing
Scrabs - pour some out for me - thnx
What did it taste like, Crossy?
*pouring wv a big mug of tea*
full of viatamins...and tasted like crap
Hey, Scrabs. Sometimes I can't get the scrambled word at all!
darn it, should have hit the mall. i lost mmy shoveling gloves last week
i would like a cup of peppermint tea too.. will serve up my home mde rugelach
started to snow here now. TO, is it snowing in Philly?
All I can do is laugh at my negative scores.
my sil served me tazo holiday tea from starbucks.
*pouring tea for Doren*

at least we're exercising our minds, Scrabs!!!
is di 6 a reasonable word?
Yes, and we get new puzzles the next day.

*Puts plate out for rugelach*

Yummy, Owl.

*Adding some white chocolate gingerbread blondies and pecan squares to the PB*
That di6 clue, was it referring to the Legos made for toddlers?
NM, monkey finally found it.
yes!
ooh, last year i found gingerbread men dipped in white chocolate at the kitchenwares outlet store
for scrabbler:http://www.state.nj.us/jerse yfresh/recipes/recipefile.htm
I am not into cooking. I prefer heating food up or having someone give me food that is ready to eat.
My issue with cooking is that it takes so long to prepare food and then it's inhaled in 15 minutes.
Couldn't agree more
these are mostly veg and quick/simple
Ideas for using my Barnes & Noble $75 gift card? I looked at a list of bestsellers and nearly half were about vampires. Geez.
I feel like all I've been doing is cook--we start at Thanksgiving and go through New Year's Day!! I'm hoping my family doesn't want a big meal on New Year's Day!
unless it is quick to make and very tasty, cooking is a daily boring chore
I looked at several, Owl, so I may return to that site. I like quick & simple.
nice site, i am going to bookmark it
Skillet Corn Cakes with Heirloom Tomato Salad Recipe by Chef Ted Iwachiw, Ted’s on Main, Medford Ingredients for Skillet Cakes 4 ears fresh corn, shucked, silks removed 1¼ cup buttermilk 1 large egg 2 Tbl melted butter ¾ cup cornmeal 1 cup unbleached all purpose flour ¼ tsp baking soda 1 ½ tsp baking powder ½ tsp sugar Salt and pepper to taste ¼ cup finely sliced scallions 1 Tbl minced fresh parsley 3 Tbl vegetable oil Instructions Cut the kernels off the corn cobs with a sharp knife. You will need approximately 2 cups of uncooked kernels for this recipe. Place the kernels in a food processor and add the buttermilk, egg and butter. Process until the mixture is smooth. Place the cornmeal, flour, baking soda and powder, salt, pepper and sugar in a large bowl and whisk to combine. Add the scallions and parsley and mix again. Heat the large skillet, preferably nonstick, over medium heat. When hot, add half of the oil. Drop generous tablespoons of corn batter into the pan and cook until the cakes turn golden brown on the underside and bubbles appear on top side. Flip the cakes and continue cooking until they’re lightly browned. Reduce the heat to medium if the corn cakes are browning too quickly. Repeat with remaining oil and batter. Heirloom Tomato Salad 2 large ripe heirloom tomatoes 2 Tbl chiffonade basil leaves 1 Tbl basil oil Cut tomatoes in chunks, toss with basil leaves and oil. Spoon over corn cakes.
I could do that.
how are you sure to get enough iron?
I had a hysterectomy 10 yrs ago and that helped solve the chronic anemia problem.
mmmmmm! corn cakes!

Hi Cos. I didn't know you could play Scrabble on Kindle. How cool.
Back from being paged--nasty mother! She was demanding that something be done immediately for her kid's earache yet she has not even given him a pain reliever.
Scrabs, how does having a hysterectomy alleviate anemia?
clue for the 9/10 please....not seeing it
I was hemorrhaging very month--hemoglobin was 8-9 for a few yrs despite iron therapy.
5 times shoveling for the dogs, my brain in't working
pr9--to grow more of a plant
Ah, I see. Good that you got that cleared up then Scrabs.
pr9/10 usually a plant thing, to reproduce yourself
Yep, wonderful outcome although recovery was not fun for the first few days.

I ag4/6ized long and hard over the grid and now I am close to the fe 4/7 of finishing grid. So it daw4/8 on me that I have the rest of the day to get my last word so no need to panic. In the mean time, here is a story of clues. I had a very co 4/5 Christmas this year. I celebrated with 17 people and 6 dr 5/12ing dogs with dr 5/14y ears. 6 dogs and 17 people under one ro 4/7 can be quite chaotic! My brother ow 4/8 2 dogs. My sisters each have one. Pl 4/6 my parents have one and I have one. The dogs would pl 4/6 themselves down and fo4/7ishly fo 5/20ed their eyes on the floor waiting for food to dr 4/6. And as fa 4/7 would have it, they would get a nibble every so often. When there wasn't food to be had they would gn 4/10 on their rawhides Santa got for them. We often let them lo 5/10 outside to run off all their energy. My po 4/5 dad had to clean up a lot of dog po 4/6 outside. Of course with that many dogs, some got ar 5/12d and tried to pr 9/78 with each other. The adults played many games yesterday which consisted of Ping Po 4/7 and Po 4/5. Sometimes I would think "Oh Lo 4/5 take me away!" and I would escape to my lo 4/7 to escape all the chaos. I suppo4/5 I should go be sociable. I did not pr 5/18 read my story so there may be some mistakes. Po 4/8!
Sorry not done with my story of clues yet,
Mini.. u said "some ar 5/12" but there isnt an ar in the frid?
Like, I said I am not done yet.So still need to go back and edit and fix whatever needs to be fixed cosdem.

And as fa 4/7 would have it, they would get a nibble every so often. When there was not food to be had they would gn 4/10 on their rawhides. We often let them lo 5/10 outside to run off all their energy in the sn 4/8. My po 4/5 father had a lot of po 4/6 to sc 5/14 outside. Of course w/that many dogs, some got aro 5/12d and tried to pr 9/78 with each other. The dogs often got in the way of people.If you got up,you would return to a dog that had sn 4/6ged your spot & taken your se 4/4 on the so 4/7. While dogs had fun, the adults had fun as well.Adults played many games yesterday which consisted of Ping Po 4/7 and Po 4/5. Sometimes I'd think "Oh Lo 4/5 take me away!" and I would escape to my upstairs lo 4/7 to escape all the chaos. I suppo4/5 I should go be sociable. I did not pr 5/18 read my story of clues so there might be several mistakes. I will be back later to help w/clues. Po 4/8!

*!* ta da *!* - thanks for the help :)
Oh, I thought you said yesterday that you had already downloaded some things. Don't mind me.
oh i did.. free books...
it works great
wtg cybernan!
See, I need to ask questions. I didn't know there were free books.
it came withan 8 gb memory card too
go to amazon.com kindle store.. theres a list that says top 100 books and the list next to it is top 100 free books
So far, I have bought one book and Scrabble. Thanks for the free books heads up. I'll check it out.
i downloaded "dracula", "alice in wonderland", Grimms fairy tales" and.. "the wonderful wizard of oz"
they have a lot of jane austen books for free too... mostly classics
missing an s5
got it fireflies
congrats
I like the L. Frank Baum Books.
that reminds me i should see if baum's "santa claus" book is free too
On my iPhone so not totally here... But could use some 7 clues :)
to ask someone to marry them?
omg...you gotta be kidding me! what a fish! ty
found the Baum's santa book. its free too
yw :)
Oh cool. I love that story. Cos, do you know how long the battery lasts?
no not sure.. i got an used one so it may be less than yours
Ah thanks. Pr7 first, then pr9 :)
Maybe you can read that story in the Penalty Box MollyL.
Molly, my daughter told me 10 days if you're using wifi, longer if not...
hmm maybe i shoudl tu rn off wifi when im not shopping
Thanks Champ. I'm going to go grab some goodies in the PB.
pr9/78 is not con plus not ma plus ga 4/6 word LeslieAnn
Cos, I read that when you're not using it, turning wi-fi off will extend the battery life.
ryan said that made sense lol so i turned it off..
Oh I have pr9, just making a joke :)
lol now i get it leslie :)
Anyway, I was very touched that my older three chipped in to buy me a Kindle. They said I had a tough year and deserved a nice Christmas present. I was blessed with the best when it comes to kids.
yes it sounds that way.
i for one am very excited for my new kindle
My cousin got a Kindle for Christmas as well.She loves it!
Ryan did good Cos. ; D
Me too. Finished a book already!
I was at Barnes and Noble today, and people were lining up to buy the Nook. It was a zoo!
I assume they were on sale Champ.
Is that the thing that looks like a laptop, but it is smaller
Either that, or people got gift cards for Christmas. Min...it's like a kindle.
I must admit, it feels very "Brave New World" reading on an electronic device. Books are a comfort zone for me so I will probably stick more to the real things.
I think you are thinking of a netbook min
i used to have a netbook.. didnt like it.
Oh, maybe LeslieAnn. I heard they were like 300 dollars.
but i've been trying to find Stephen King's IT in the thrift stores. cant find it. i can get it on the kindle for 6.00
Yes, books to read are much cheaper on a kindle cosdem
Good choice Cos. Great story.
I read it when I was 15. I want to re-read it now that I know more lol
Cos, have you ever looked at biblio.com? You can get great hard copies there and it's free shipping.
I got a new Mary Higgins Clark book to read for Christmas
oh no.. thank you! ill bookmark it
Getting a bit motion sick babbling in the car. Will be back after we get home and I am stationary. Bye
Goodbye LeslieAnn! I'll see you later tonight in the chog.
Wow, no copies of "It" on biblio. It must be a hard to find book. Must check out ebay.
Could NEVER babble in a car.I'd be yacking after my first word. I can't look down for one second when I'm in a car.
me too!
yeah the thift stores has most of King's books but IT is impossible to find. I went to an used book store once and it had both hasrd cover and paperback for the same price.. 19.99 lol
I found a copy of It on amazon.com not long ago.
Another nice thing about the kindle is : no more sold out books lol
fireworks!
Yay for you Cos!!
wtg!
ty all :)
Congratulations cosdem on your fireworks! Good for you!
reading the chog - half.com has the stephen king book being sought.

it appears to be all quiet on the babble front - must be a thebuying / cooking battle is over
Thanks. I'm doing fine, thank you. I am in Hawaii, choosing to play babble instead of playing in the ocean!
oh mark - you mean you would rather be babbling than surfing?....weeping
No, I don't surf. I just throw a ball around and snorkel. I did both this morning.
are you vacationing on the islands or call them home?
I am vacationing on Maui.
fab - nice vacation
went to maui in may - where do u stay?
I stay in Makena, not Konopali.
sounds nice!
Can I have an in-depth hint for pr7?
In depth? Ask someone to marry you.
I still can
Didn
Hmmm? That was the hint for pr7...
Didn't mean to do that. Stupid enter key. Anyway, i still can't get it.
Model (for the camera) like an expert?
That's more cryptic - the other was not.
I don't get it.
When one wants to wed someone, they pr***** marriage to them!
hello from blizzardville
Got it, finally! Ty, J.C.
Hey annie!
You're welcome.
Hi Mark!
Hello Anniebrook!How are you doing? Welcome to puzzle
Hi Min, Merry Christmas to you
Be back later
Clue for the DI 7 Please?
Goodbye Anniebroook! I will see you later in the chat log
di 7/36 is plural of the di 6/24 word smoove and hi there
Hi and thank you...evidently I don't have the di 6 : )
Nor me. Can't find it for trying. Sigh.
di6...di + farmers **** their fields in the Spring...change the last letter, then plural.
Hi JC. Did you have a Happy Christmas?
Yes Molly, thank you - nice to finally have a little break! And you?
It was very good. I have a great clan. Love spending time with them.
Good. :)
ty for di molly
I still can't find that word from that clue. :/
My brain mustn't be working...
I am having trouble with that clue also.
No amount of 'monkeying' - none of the letters I'm substituting for the last one are working. :/ Must be time to give up...
di + I im***r* you to try again (beg)
Ah - thank you, nrkii! :)
Ty, nrkii!!! I got it!
It's weird about clues. I thought saying that plow, change the last letter was an easy clue. It's hard with the wind-y words.
Yes.
how about di+ Arafat's organization+second sight **p
Ah, yes...
My internet just sputtered. Any trouble with you guys?
hello all, nice to see some "old friends" here! I finished a while ago and can clue if needed (but it looks like you-all have that covered)

10 is plural the pr 9
pr 9/78 is to start things out -- spread -- used often in horticulture
pr 10/98 word is plural of the to 9/78 word. Do you have

I had a co 4/5 Christmas this year. I celebrated with 17 people and 6 dr5/12ing dogs w/dr5/14y ears. 6 dogs and 17 people under one ro 4/7 can be quite a challenge! My brother ow 4/8 2 dogs.

Phantom of the night for me is apropos

Aaah I have 42 left and still 3 blank tiles.

how many j words even are there..
LOL stid mama, my nephew has approximately 30 padios, most he built himself...
its lovely to watch. we built a snow fort today...
Yes, it has been snowing most of the day, but it didn't start accumulating much until about 4:00 pm
no J words
We have about 7 inches here in Wakefield, since we are on the bay I suppose it is less...
hello rbud.
It is hard to say how much snow we have now because it is blowing a lot and because I haven't left the house all evening.
hi, red! and everyone else. :)
Is that Wakefield MA, red?
35 wordss
im progressing
I just shoveled for 1.5 hours....then went back to the beginning and it was all covered in drifts :(
feels like I'm painting the golden gate bridge - they finish and have to go back to the beginning and start painting again
I'm planning on some shoveling tomorrow as well as sledding!
wakefield Rhode Island. We are on the Bay...
need that lone A in the second row (4th column) for NBT, any hints?
i played outside with my nephews for a bit, but since nightfall, the storm has picked up.
gotta dig out snowsuits for the rugrats
gonna go drink some tea - bbl maybe
Are you getting rain with the snow, Red? That is supposed to happen on the Cape. I prefer it light and fluffy rather than wet and heavy.
its been a very dry powdery snow, I attempted to make a snow man but it was hard to pack, but we will see tomorrow, the winds are at 55 MPH sustained.
Oh my goodness! Power went out just as you were cluing that PO 5 Stid! Power back on and I went back in the chog so my P's are now complete!
A + FO 4/8
Don't blow away red!!!

Being a FLoridian, this is a Novelty for me! I'm quite enjoying it. My BIL is mystfied by my fascination..
Don't run af5 of the law, rbud.
ty car and wht.
got it, yay! :D
Help with di 6 please?
Red, I enjoy being inside during a snowstorm, at least as long as the heat and lights are on.
Don't have it car.
So far we have been lucky with both power and heat. but there is a possibility with the wind that trees may pull down the lines. the children are a bit intrigued as well..
ga 5/20?
I think one of the nice things about a storm like this is that it is an unplanned forced vacation.
DI 6 is di + snow ***w (scraper of roads) + vowel
then plural
TY!
ga 5/20 reminds me of some of the hebrew letters. or a russian name. GA + opposite of yes + high point letter
ty, stiddy!
TY again!

Wonder why my profile pic hasn't updated - I changed it to match my FB pic
is it a zebra eye?
refresh your browser
yes - you mean you can see it?
ok
ah! thanks
tada!
ga5?
I love that pic - pinched it from an investment house here, they use zebras on all their application forms. Could decorate my entire room round that - if I had the talent to paint it huge on canvas.
i took lovely pics of zebras in Kenya this summer.. . totally fascinated by the things
They're magnificent - I love them for their sturdy build, as I love cheetahs for their sleek wiriness
i was impressed by their infinite variety
I have one ga5 - plural of a security closure
ga what you use to enter a property or ga = a dishonest person
no sorry i need one before that
i had no idea ga meant dishonest person so hopefully u do
ga5 like wizard in Lord of Rings

no, that wall just appeared out of nowhere!
sometimes they jump out at you
I'm only beginning to understand some of the clues! lol
itjumped out at you no doubt
Walls stalk you!

the clues are a language to themselves
