1:50 am

finally took the time to read your story, jilli - as usual, you researched the theme. Well done, joes make one think

1:50 am

**does, not joes

1:51 am

I just took first think old that popped into my mind

1:53 am

didn't take much researching, flosey -- I just googled Old Stuff Day and this came up

1:53 am

ah, so it really is a "Day"

1:53 am

I didn't take the time to google

1:54 am

bridge here tomorrow, still a bit of tidying up to do

1:54 am

But your "old stuff" is magnificent and the story is so wonderful!

1:55 am

didyou finish this grid?

1:55 am

oh, thanks jilli, we were very pleased with the makeover

1:56 am

yes - and it took the time I should have been using to prepare for tomorrow

1:57 am

fabulous, flosey! As you can see, this old slowpoke didn't yet. I think I'll be staying home tomorrow -- I hope you heard about the huge winds we're expecting.

1:57 am

not so bad today, down to 72 so should get it finished after supper tomorrow

1:58 am

yes, hope it doesn't mean we can't get our game in! am really anxious to be finished with the AH games

1:58 am

oh -- thought you said youo had finished--but 72 left?

1:59 am

no, did finish yesterdays, the 72 is what I have yet to get of today's

1:59 am

who do you play tomorrow?

1:59 am

Vonnie and Ruth - again, they're the couple we play twice

1:59 am

they're always fun

2:00 am

Oh, that should be fun.

2:00 am

then our last game with April and Susan

2:01 am

next week

2:05 am

our last will be Friday night, as I mentioned. Dreading the drive but my GPS should help find it in the dark and the rain.

2:05 am

have been hoping to get over to the Bath, etc shop to get the bits and pieces I need to complete the powder room - like mirror, etc lol, and door knob

2:05 am

have been hoping to get over to the Bath, etc shop to get the bits and pieces I need to complete the powder room - like mirror, etc

2:05 am

just monkeyed th6 and 7

2:06 am

clever you -- I don't have them -- clues?

2:06 am

Wondering how St. John's Wo4 got it's name...

2:07 am

Google may tell you, douglas

2:07 am

oh yes, you're coming way down the south end, too bad it's in the evening, that area is so dark at night, but your GPS will get you home safely

2:08 am

I'm hoping the GPS will help me FIND the darn place in the dark

2:10 am

it should jilli, houses are spaced and lots of trees, and rather long lanes was my impression, Is. and I played there but we started before lunchtime!

2:12 am

Well, I said I was going to bed a while ago, so...*repoof*

2:12 am

I don't think I've ever played a night game, but some newer players are younger and work - making even more difficult to organize

2:12 am

ok, goodnight jilli, I'll be going soon

2:12 am

i say you should invite yourself for supper and go early while it is still light out...lol

2:13 am

We're not going to do AH next year -- too much hassle.

2:13 am

now there's an idea!

2:13 am

I've decided same jilli

2:13 am

don't know about my partner but she won't have any trouble finding another

2:14 am

haha, s'mom -- these are working women and don't have time.

2:15 am

*unpoof again, lol! Your AH partner and I really messed up on Monday!

2:16 am

she does play a bit differently, but we met for coffee and talked over conventions

2:18 am

Good night all

2:19 am

good night Douglas

2:19 am

Oh, we get along fine --- we were just both in la-la land that night.

2:20 am

We've had a chat about conventions when we had a sit-out

2:20 am

I've been there a fare bit lately! poor hubby

2:20 am

night douglas

2:21 am

Well, you did okay last night

2:21 am

yes, felt good to come up a bit

2:21 am

I really must go -- have a good time tmw...*re repoof

2:22 am

tks, sweet sleep

please could I have a clue for the th6

2:27 am

do you have th5?

2:27 am

add a cons to that, then plural for the 7

2:30 am

th5 is an abreviation for someone who is particular about completion, etc

2:31 am

I read that book th***ughly, and loved it!

morning all. how many words today please

2:48 am

TY Flosey for all those.

2:49 am

hi Sandra. 230

thanks

2:49 am

yqw lyn, was beginning to think I was alone here

2:50 am

but should get to bed, should be able to get last 55 tomorrow evening before flip!

2:51 am

Just came back from a Stew walk which turned into a mad dash to a vets (not for Stew thank goodness).

2:52 am

hope the other one will be ok?

2:54 am

Seems so, its owner thought it was dying - no movement and bleeding from the mouth - but perked up a bit after about 10 minutes. Tiny tiny dog accdently smashed into by a running whippet

3:06 am

really must get to bed now, 50 for tomorrow, goodnight all

3:06 am

night Flosey

5:43 am

that's more like it! Yesterday's grid, although fun, was rather overwhelming. Who has enough time to complete such a grid?

5:46 am

Hello, Ruby, i must admit i did finish the grid yesterday & play eight1 games..lol

5:46 am

you're a better man than I, zzoozz!

5:47 am

I bloody hope so, Ruby, you being a lady and all..LOL

5:47 am

hello ruby and zooz

5:47 am

I finished yesterday's too, although I did use Lickety when i got down to 99 words

5:47 am

I finished yesterday's but didn't get any housework done!

5:47 am

Hi MM

5:47 am

hiya

5:47 am

Hello, Flosey & MM :-)

5:48 am

hello flosey! I spent a couple of hours, got nothing else done, and only got fews=er than 300 words! It was fun, though

5:48 am

hello MovieMan!

5:48 am

OMG..i did not mean that in a sexist way..think that came out wrong.

5:48 am

does anyone have a clue for re7 please

5:49 am

you could never offend me, zzoozz!

5:49 am

I don't think you need to worry zooz, seems a natural enough response

5:51 am

I meant it as Ruby said better man than her but she is a lady not a man..oh never mind...lets try and clue the re7 instead.

5:51 am

I was thinking of Rudyard Kipling.....

5:51 am

gunga din!

5:51 am

hahah

5:51 am

great idea zooz

5:52 am

re + two letters + like a hose water ***

5:55 am

or re7 re**w the seeds + a powerful *** of water hit me in the face.

5:56 am

thank you, zzoozz, I had to just work that out blindly but your clue did it!

5:56 am

tyty, finally got it

5:56 am

phew..yw :-)

5:58 am

17 left and it is now 2 minutes to 4: a.m. must get some sleep!

5:58 am

good night all, once again

5:58 am

never seen 4AM!

5:59 am

Yes i noticed the chog you were supposed to be getting some sleep a few hours ago, Flosey.

5:59 am

Hope you get some sleep, Flosey :-)

5:59 am

sweet dreams, flosey!!!!

6:01 am

Must admit, this grid is going smoothly, although still need 43 more.

6:01 am

I'm not quite a third through, but so far, so good

6:01 am

any clues for the 8's?

6:02 am

ro8 compound word flower & whats just under the soil.

6:03 am

the under the soil part, being what the flower uses to get its water.

6:04 am

that is definitely obscure but thank you, zzooz!

6:04 am

did not want to make it too easy..lol

6:05 am

for me to get it, it had to be easy lol

6:05 am

I don't understand enables food choices: why nori but not rosti?

6:06 am

trot

6:06 am

got that one.

6:06 am

sorry, is there desert in the PB?

6:07 am

there is some grated potato & cheese on top in there..lol

6:08 am

I would love that!

6:08 am

i know..you did say Rosti..after all :-)

6:08 am

do you cook, zzoozz? English specialties like Shepherd's Pie and Bangers and Mash? Local food here is awful

6:09 am

I was a chef for many years, but have not worked for over a year now.

6:09 am

what was your specialty?

6:10 am

sauces mainly...but did all sorts for a hotel.

6:12 am

when I was young, my fantasy was to open a country restaurant with a couple of friends. She was a fine French country cook, he was a carpenter and handsome, and I had the ideas and know-how. Needless to say, it came to naught!

6:14 am

That is a shame it never happened, i am sure though there are many people who had ideas but never went ahead of them, not much comfort knowing that..but at least you are not alone.

6:14 am

it would have been in rural New York state, and we would have bought an old house and lived upstairs.....

6:17 am

Funny you should say that, as i have never even thought of NY, having a rural area..always have imagined it as very high rised buildings..i should of known better really.

6:18 am

I lived in a tiny city (fewer than 90,000) 200 miles from MYC, Binghamton. It was a beautiful place surrounded by hills and small and big rivers

6:18 am

NY state is very big

6:20 am

Sounds like an ideal place to live, Ruby, i can hear the birds singing and the sound of the streams trickling...ok snap out of it me..back to the real world..lol

6:21 am

he, in the foothills of the Alps, is even better. More birds, a garden, dogs, pretty house.

6:21 am

Binghamton was a dying town, losing population every year

6:21 am

here*

6:22 am

2 more for half

6:23 am

Down to 19 here and slowing fast.

6:24 am

Talking of singing birds, i need to top-up my bird seed feeder, bbl...Nice talking to you, Ruby :-)

6:25 am

do you have fringillas there, zzoozz?

6:25 am

we have two kinds, pinsons du nord and pinsons d/arbres

6:27 am

yay, half!

Morning. I was so disappointed that I couldnt finish yesterday.

6:27 am

who has that much time, red?

If I had been off work I think I could have done it. I stopped at like 165 left.

6:28 am

I think I had 278 words when I threw in the towel

it was a fun grid.

6:28 am

I spent more than 2 hours on it, just didn't have enough time

6:29 am

I loved it, but it was very slow to enter words

indeed...It was forever long

this grid is also very nice.

well, I am only 74 words in, so maybe it isnt/

6:36 am

126 words and taking a break. the first 100 were fine, now it is much more difficult for me! duh

6:36 am

{{red}}

See you later ruby.

If anyone is here, has Champfit been around?

Champ??

6:39 am

Hey red...just getting on...what's up?

6:40 am

Red???????

Champ!!!

Sorry I went off!

I have a question...

6:44 am

still here...

So The sellers bank has asked me to sign the "arm's Length Document" and also asked for a copy of my "pre-approval letter" from my bank. Is this a good thing?

6:46 am

Yes! They're making sure you're good for the loan. They're actually looking at your paperwork!

Yay! I am assuming if they did not like the offer, they would have already outright rejected it?

6:47 am

Well, I can't really say that. Sometimes they don't look at the actual numbers as far as what they need to get on the house until late in the process. What bank is this?

No one will tell me which bank it is. I know it is not Well Fargo, as that is my bank.

Ugh. I really do not want to start to haggle over things and I hate to admit it, but I want to get it at this "steal" price.

6:49 am

Wonder why not? Odd...but I'd take it as a good sign that things are at least moving forward. Yay for you!!!

I'm feeling positive, and of course, panicky. It is a commitment to live here! (Which I have done for 3 years already...so...hmmm)

with the short sales people have tried to call the sellers bank for information and in general so a lot of things are kept "se****" so the buyer doesnt start to harass the bank!

6:51 am

Yes but you never know...and you can sell it later...things have to bounce back eventually. And you'll have awesome equity right off the bat!

yes. the town home sold for 250K and is now going for 89K. All Granite in all bathrooms and kitchens, and TILE! I love tile with the dog.

6:52 am

Red, sending good vibes your way. Looking forward to your house warming party. : D

6:52 am

Tile is the best, you're right. Swiffer that stuff right up!

thanks Molly! It will probably be some time in June!

I love tile! though it can be slippery.

6:53 am

Area rugs...no biggie!

and when you get bored, you can get a new rug...

6:53 am

I can't believe the drop in the price of that house. Property hasn't tanked that bad around here, thank God.

I can not wait to get real furniture.

Florida really seems to have been hit hard Molly.

6:53 am

? What do you have now?

6:54 am

Crates? ;)

Oh the put together stuff from Target, but I have no kitchen table...

I also think Molly that the home was initally an inflated price. It is a tiny townhome!

6:54 am

Oh, then it will be fun to furniture shop.

I just have to wait. No big purchases! But I have been saving cash, so it will be really fun!

6:55 am

Red, that happened to a woman I know. She had this little house that went way up in value, but then dropped back down before she could take advantage of it.

How is everyone else doing?

oh not good Champ for her.

6:56 am

OOoooooohhh...I can't stress enough...do not buy anything while you're waiting! Credit drops so easily!

6:56 am

hi all

Hi praise.

6:56 am

morning!

Luckily my credit apparently is over 800. but still.

6:57 am

been a long time

yes it has. How are you??

6:57 am

Yes, but if you went and made a purchase on credit for anything, it would move. Credit is weird.

6:57 am

doing pretty well

6:58 am

home in bed recovering from surgery

credit is odd. I will pay cash for the furniture. I actually pay cash for everything. But...I still dont want to chance it. I cringed paying rent this month!

Oh No! I hope you are recovering well Praise??

Oh I lied. I financed my car.

6:58 am

pretty well

6:59 am

Liar pants on fire! :)

6:59 am

have had my ups and downs

Glad to hear it. Surgery can take so much out of you, beyond the actual procedure!

6:59 am

Apparently, it's a bad move NOT to finance your car. Cars are crappy investments.

6:59 am

true

6:59 am

yes it can

they are, lose value immediately. I am delighted though with my prius right now!

7:00 am

Praise, hope you're feeling better soon.

Is your family/friends helping out praise?

7:00 am

I have a friend who drove up next to me in a prius, and i never heard her coming!

7:00 am

sounds like you are buying s house

7:01 am

that is exciting

7:01 am

Gotta get a kid out the door...bbl! Good luck red!!!

7:01 am

Good morning friends! I have a question I would like you to weigh in on....the Boys have gone back to school!!!!!!! Do I go back to bed or hang out and get laundry & work done?

back to bed.

7:01 am

tthanks Molly

7:02 am

I have a new car for the first time in 12 years. It's like Christmas every day.

7:02 am

Bed, laudry can always wait

7:02 am

No brainer. Go back to bed.

7:02 am

Praise...so glad to hear that you are recovering! {{gentle hugs}} I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers!

I love doing laundry, but bed is nice too.

and yes trying to buy a house praise since january.

You love doing laundry?

Ok I must dash for a few minutes to take care of doggie. hi Car!!!!

7:03 am

I think I will start the laundry either way...but maybe I should DO something with this time?

7:03 am

hi Red!

7:03 am

*Scratches head at "love doing laundry"*

Oh before I dash, I do indeed LOVE laundry. I do not like doing dishes however at all...

everything smells so good when you are done.

7:03 am

ty Car

7:03 am

Hey, I was wondering...has anyone heard from Jellen lately? I miss her.

7:04 am

Not sure, but I think Lil Monkey hits Jellen up on Facebook.

7:04 am

Molly... I love vacuuming. It is the instant gratification I think that makes me like it.

7:04 am

Now, trust me, I don't do it nearly as often as i should...but when I do I like it.

7:05 am

Red...check out the new Yankee Candle scent..."Fluffy Towels"....it smells just like fresh laundry!!!

7:05 am

Red I thought you had purchased a house

7:06 am

I think Red is brb

7:10 am

You are right Praise!

7:13 am

all this talk about chores around house

7:13 am

<----------Doesn't like house work at all.

7:13 am

Not my fave either molly....necessary evil.

7:14 am

you can all come and do mine

7:14 am

:)

7:14 am

If I were closer I would Praise! Always enjoyed cleaning others' houses more than my own!

7:14 am

I seem to do it round the clock, but none of it floats my boat. I do like to get the sheets washed, just because it makes going to bed that night so comfy.

7:14 am

hubby is trying to keep u[

7:15 am

up that is

7:15 am

How long will you be recuperating?

7:15 am

feel bad that he has to do it all

7:15 am

<==== getting coffee...anyone need a cup?

7:15 am

It's been my experience that when men do house work, all they do is come to you with question after question.

7:16 am

car I am not sure

7:16 am

have recheck with surgeon next week

7:17 am

had back surgery--do can't do much

7:18 am

sn7? There is a past tense of sn5? I'd love to hear that used in a sentence.

7:19 am

Oh, it's not a past tense. It means drunk. Probably a British term.

7:21 am

don't have that one yet

7:22 am

Does the U words have to do with peeing?

7:23 am

Hi all. I could use a little ( or a lot) help. I need a U for nbt. Any takers out there?

7:23 am

7:23 am

7:39 am

and hello everyone

7:40 am

(((Annie))) good morning

7:40 am

Hi Annie!

7:40 am

Anyone weighing in on the big Charlie Sheen interview last night?

7:40 am

I have 2 words...train wreck.

7:40 am

((Mom))) baseball season is nearing, thinking of Alex

7:40 am

i feel sorry for charlie sheen

7:40 am

Hi car.

7:40 am

where was that Car.? I saw him briefly on Piers Morgan night before last

7:40 am

It is just sad, isn't it?

7:41 am

20/20 had him on last night.

7:41 am

Oh Annie, indeed it is. Opening day March 31 here

7:41 am

I just heard on the news that his kids were taken from him this morning with police supervision.

7:41 am

totally agree Car

7:41 am

there is nothing the poor man can say that will get anyone to believe he is off drugs

7:41 am

they apparently gave the kids over to their mom

7:41 am

Especially when he acts they way he did last night!

7:42 am

fel so sorry for thr kids

7:42 am

...Take me out to the ballgame...

7:42 am

what did he do last night?

7:42 am

He was off his rocker night before last. No one goes on and on like he did and not be on something

7:42 am

take me out to the crowd

7:42 am

Buy me some peanuts and cracker jacks...

7:42 am

He is going to OD one day..

7:42 am

actually people who are withdrawing from drugs and bi-polar do

7:42 am

i don't care if I ever get back ....

7:43 am

I don't care if I ever get back.

7:43 am

Well its ro4, ro4 for the home team....

7:43 am

I think so too, Annie

7:43 am

* should be 1 more ro 4

7:43 am

If they don't win its a shame. . . .

7:44 am

And its 1, 2, 3 strikes your out......

7:44 am

{{everyone}}}

7:44 am

one, two, three strikes youre out

7:44 am

jmc, he was going on to Piers that he didn't believe in rehab, he is doing "home rehab"

7:44 am

AT THE OLD BALL GAME!!!!!! Play ball!

7:44 am

at the old ball game

7:44 am

i think he is a man who is trying to get his act together but has to do it in the public eye

7:44 am

AT THE OLD BALL GAAAAMMME

7:44 am

It was rumored that John Stamos was to take Sheen's place on 2/12 Men. Stamos said that wasn't true, but that Martin Sheen wanted him as a son. : D

7:45 am

i saw part of the piers interview (not much to do in a hospital with no laptop)

7:45 am

2 1/2

7:45 am

I don't know if he is or not. He seems to be totally delusional.

7:45 am

Annie, Alex hasn't heard from the Reds yet as far as a schedule. I am hoping he hears soon.

7:45 am

((jmc)) glad you are back home

7:45 am

I think Sheen is deeply into addiction with a big dollop of personality disorder on the side.

7:45 am

well denial and delusion are common with drug problems

7:45 am

Mom, He will, I am sure

7:46 am

ty mom is alex a fan?

7:46 am

<---- LOVES the Red Sox!!

7:46 am

I am praying so. He will start work with the Frontier League the middle of May

7:46 am

oh a baseball player!!

7:46 am

Alex does camera work for the Reds

7:47 am

oh no, JMC, not a player

7:47 am

what a fun job! I wish I had it.

7:47 am

I am afraid now the Charlie Sheen's kids have been taken, he will spiral.

7:47 am

and for the Frontier League he will be in charge of the camera crew and scoreboard operations

7:47 am

What an exciting job!!!!

7:48 am

Car. is his wife still with him?

7:48 am

No.

7:48 am

great experience for Alex

7:48 am

he is thrilled, just a shame baseball isn't year round

7:48 am

I think so too Annie

7:49 am

I feel sorry for those without resources that battle everyday to beat demons that afflict them.

7:49 am

He is living with 2 women, in his house, both with sketchy pasts and habits. He makes it sound like a Woodstock karma-filled commune.

7:49 am

I didn't know Car. I get most of my entertainment news here on Babble

7:49 am

i heard an interview this morning where he said he didn't know where his kids are and he was not panicing because he was sure they were with their mom

7:49 am

BR!!!! I do too. But it upsets me to see those who have access to the best resources just blow them off.

7:49 am

Amen and hello BabbleRabble. So good to see you

7:49 am

Hello.

7:49 am

He knows where they are.

7:50 am

you know car there was a time no one would have made a big deal of that.

7:50 am

hi BR!

7:50 am

BR! Great to see you.

7:50 am

Hey.

7:50 am

I agree Car. Those who "have" should be taking advantage of the help they can afford.

7:50 am

And then do what they can to help those who don't "have"

7:50 am

No one would have made a big deal out of what?

7:50 am

Hello, Annie.

7:50 am

Pay it forward.

7:51 am

his lifestyle

7:51 am

BR...how are you?

7:51 am

jmc, I had to do a double take on your icon. Alex has one just like it

7:51 am

I am doing pretty good. How about you?

7:51 am

I keep entering L words and I already have them all.

7:51 am

of the pic of my son taking a pic?

7:52 am

Hanging in! Kids are back off to school today, so I am spoilng myself!

7:52 am

yes jmc

7:52 am

my son has sold a few pictures but not tried to make a living at it

7:52 am

I do not go out of my way to read about Sheen.

7:52 am

However...I am starting to feel guilty....

7:52 am

I took the photo of him

7:52 am

me either BR but he is getting shoved in my face these days

7:53 am

Yup. Coverage on every news show

7:53 am

NOOOOOOO car do not feel guilty!!

7:53 am

our oldest has his degree in art and photography. Not making a full time job of it either.

7:53 am

I do JMC. I should be working and cleaning.

7:53 am

my son is about to graduate (at 25) with a degree in business

7:53 am

Good for your son.

7:54 am

no, you should not. you can do it later. pour yourself a cup of coffee and play with us

7:54 am

I am a bit sad...I only lost 2.5 lb on my diet this week. I generally lose more during the first week and I am a bit disappointed.

7:54 am

he has an unpaid internship that is suppose to be a paying job when he graduates

7:54 am

so...if I clean, do laundry, etc. then I will be active.

7:54 am

I generally adjust the scale to my liking.

7:54 am

That is great jmc!

7:54 am

Mom...very cool!

7:54 am

car that is good--you don't want to lose too fast

7:55 am

I can't do that any more BR.

7:55 am

I sure hope it pans out for him jmc

7:55 am

Oh I know. But as I said, usually the first week I lose more. as you can tell, I have done this before!

7:55 am

well, sinick that i am i will believe it will be paying when it actually is

7:56 am

senick senich

7:56 am

Mom..does he take photography jobs such as weddings and such, or is he truly in it more as art?

7:56 am

damn sometimes i wish i could spell

7:56 am

I wish you well, car. Perseverance will win the day.

7:56 am

cynic

7:56 am

TY BR!

7:56 am

well car maybe going slower will help it last longer

7:57 am

ty car cynic cynic cynic

7:57 am

Really, I think me not sitting on my fat ass so much will make it last longer!

7:57 am

why didn't spell check know that was what i wanted?

7:57 am

lol go for a walk later!

7:58 am

Too cold. I am thinking Wii fit.

7:58 am

oh no JMC, he said he would NEVER do a wedding. He has taken pictures for the Cincinnati Art Museum's magazine.

7:58 am

Turns out I am really good at rhythm kung fu!

7:58 am

beside you need to go to the pb with me

7:59 am

He took photos in his senior year that the professor really liked, he bought them and they will be placed on permanent exhibit at the university's library

7:59 am

well the reality is that most people who make a living at it do do weddings

7:59 am

8:52 am

crossy pops out of lurk,waves and dives back in..sploosh!

I think I will go get an old stuff icon.

8:52 am

am ok, bit of a setback in energy but none of my therapists is surprised, so I guess I shouldn' be either and just go on :) How have you been?

8:52 am

hiya crossy! Great spandex outfit you have there!

8:54 am

hi again, all! Just finished breakfast, having coffee (made quite expertly by Dad)

8:54 am

wow did your Dad make you breakfast, that is a good sign, uusue!

Oky, I have an Old stuff icon now.

8:55 am

oh that is great :D

8:56 am

cute, red :-)

today is "old stuff " icon day apparently!

8:57 am

Well, I made my own breakfast except for the coffee, but he did a big-deal cooking of dinner on Sunday (which we just finished the last of last night).

8:57 am

So he is doing really well.

8:57 am

yes it is, see my profile for explanation :)

SOunds like he is on the up and up...

8:57 am

He took a shower this morning and now sees the utility of a shower chair.

8:57 am

am very glad to hear it, uusue.

8:58 am

He's also decided that he can install the second stair rail himself (!)

oh Wow!

8:58 am

sounds like you have been doing miracles for his morale as well, uusue.

9:01 am

fireflies. Friendly grid, except for that ugly re7/48.

9:01 am

I think so. I am VERY glad I was able to come and help him.

9:01 am

I think so. I am VERY glad I was able to come and help him.

Yipee Sprite! Clue for the ugly one?

9:02 am

Sorry for the double post (Fingers! Obey! Click only once!) and congratulations, sprite!

9:05 am

re + **journ + very fast airoplane

working on it, thanks!

9:05 am

9:05 am

9:05 am

thanks! sprite

9:07 am

OK, if I grade four more te**s I will have them ALL DONE.

9:07 am

I just started a beef stew in a crockpot...never cooked with a crockpot before

9:07 am

.

9:07 am

.!

9:08 am

crossy loves his crockpot,i do everything in it,roast beef and taters and carrots,home made chicken soup/stew,chicken and dumplings,sweet and hot pulled pork...etc

9:08 am

ooh, yes, crockpots are really nice.

9:09 am

hi crossy, just toss everything in and forget about it.

9:09 am

goooooooooooooooooood afternoon fellow babblers xxx

9:09 am

ok I am off, bye all :)

9:09 am

yuppers,best way to cook..howdy froggie

9:09 am

crossy, low heat or high, what do you think for a beef stew?

9:09 am

yo crossy xxxxx

9:09 am

hi frog

9:09 am

low,for the afternoon,i hardly ever use high

9:09 am

Except when they don't work - many years ago I had one that I loved dearly; put a nice duck in it in the morning, came home from work, cold duck. Yuck.

9:09 am

bye spritey

9:10 am

Hi, frog, and bye, sprite!

9:10 am

okay, thanks, crossy

9:10 am

hiya sue xxx

9:11 am

and if your crock pot is older and perfectly round,hop out and get one of the newer oval ones,they are great

9:11 am

brand new, just bought it crossy

9:12 am

and make sure the liner is removable...cool annie;)

9:12 am

yes, it is :)

9:12 am

was using mine just last night for home made chicken soup

9:13 am

There are crock pots that don't have a removable liner? How in the world do you clean them? I've had an oval one for years.

9:13 am

some older ones,the liners do not come out,you have to fill them with water,put them on high and scrub

9:15 am

That's awful. What a pain in the ass way to clean them.

9:15 am

I did the Coca-Cola roast beef recipe over the weekend. That stuff has such a good flavor.

9:16 am

i have the biggest oval one i could find,heaven help me if i ever drop the liner!

9:17 am

with a crock pot,a foreman grill and a hotplate,you hardly need a oven anymore;)

9:17 am

any clues out there??

9:18 am

Um...what would you bake in? I've had cake made in the crock pot and it's good and all that, but there are other things you can't bake in it.

9:18 am

what do you need, mkg?

9:19 am

do not bake much at home anymore molly with the cost of flour,yeast,eggs and other ingredients,i find it just cheaper to go to the bakery and be there when it all is still on the cooling trays

9:20 am

92 words left! but no list yet so dont know. sorry annie. i have no e words for e that is second column, top one. have the bottom e word only.

9:20 am

let them burn their electricity..our hydro is set to go up 40% in the next year...will be lucky if i am not burning kerosene for light;/

9:20 am

mkg, et4--our beloved volcano

9:21 am

No list for me yet

9:21 am

ty got it annie

9:21 am

Our prices for flour, yeast and eggs are still pretty reasonable. And to me, half the fun of baking is the smell you get when you bake. Especially bread.

9:21 am

ec4---a color

9:22 am

i agree with the bread smell in the house...mmm

9:22 am

what is the coca cola roast beef? sounds enticing

9:22 am

Holy crap! 40%??? How can they do that? No one is going to get a 40% cost of living raise.

9:22 am

it is coming molly,sad but true,we have to pay for ontario hydro,s mistakes now;((

9:24 am

there is a mass struggle here now to get solar planels on the roofs of houses,a full set on one side of an average bungalow costs 20-30 thousand,you set up a seperate meter and sell it directly to hydro ,they are buyinjg right now for 81 cents a kw

9:24 am

a set of panels can be paid off in 6 years

9:25 am

we are currently being billed 16 cents a kw,but add 40 percent to that in a year and you can see why we are all running for the panels

9:27 am

it is cheaper for them to buy from us at 81 cents a kw,than the heavy importing they have to do in the summer

9:28 am

smart new builder are putting the panels in at the start along with a green car hook up in the garage

9:28 am

holy cow, 81 cents a kw? I pay in the single digits per kw most days (US cents instead of Canadian but I think they are similar)

9:29 am

about par atm uu

9:29 am

so we are paying 16 per kw..for now

9:29 am

My favorite technology - geothermal heat pumps. Don't have one myself (city wouldn't permit it 10 years ago, didn't know what it was) but they are allowing them now.

9:29 am

Here is the Coke/beef crock pot recipe. It's hard to find the envelopes of dried spaghetti sauce mix. I use the McCormick dried Italian chicken seasoning

9:30 am

2 - 4 pounds of chuck roast or beef brisket 1 cup chopped celery 1 package of Lipton's Beef Onion Soup Salt and pepper to taste Red pepper flakes to taste 2 teaspoons chopped garlic 2 teaspoons of paprika 1/2 cup ketchup 1 package of spaghetti sauce mix 1 cup Coke (don't use an impersonater) Sear the meat in oil for a few minutes on each side. While that commences, mix up all the rest of the stuff in a crock pot. Put the seared meat in the crock pot. Turn it once so both sides get the juice. Cook it until it's falling apart. Turn every hour or so.

9:30 am

I have a friend who put one in; she said that if she put a solar panel on her roof she could go completely off the grid.

9:31 am

ty molly have it saved

9:32 am

indeed,uu,but with ont hydro paying 81,we are better off sell for now

9:32 am

then you do not need a bank of batteries,or a converter box

9:33 am

help withe the ur words please...

9:33 am

the dc to ac converter is 7000 dollars

9:34 am

and each battery is around 60-100 for deep cycle storage x 90 units

9:34 am

true, crossy

9:34 am

some homes may need less

9:34 am

the nice thing about the geothermal heat pump is that it replaces both heat and air

9:34 am

but right now i don't have any of that :-(

9:34 am

heat pumps do rock,but we are tired of the grid here..really,really tired

9:35 am

Hello all -- up and at 'em... need to do still more revisions on the paper.

9:35 am

(stidmama)

9:35 am

jeff, the ur words (ur7 and ur8) are pee-like; the 8 is the plural of the 7

9:35 am

hi, stid!

9:35 am

ur + actor Hawk, or Fromme...of the Edith Wharton novel.

9:35 am

sue -- a bit of advice for me?

9:36 am

sure, stid!

9:36 am

ty both!

9:36 am

selling it back at 81 cents a kw,we can cut our costs by 80%,hence the 6 year payoff on the panels

9:36 am

if my utility was buying at 81 cents I'd put them in too!!

9:36 am

Sorry, actor's last name is Hawke.

9:37 am

okay, this is a review of the literature. how "accurate" does the abstract normally need to be for something like that? I mean -- it appears on the surface that published abstracts are really sketchy, hitting only the high points... is my impression correct?

9:37 am

it will not last but 6-8 years uu,once they get the infrastructure updated,they will stop importing on heavy load days,so now is the time carpe diem!

9:38 am

Stid, all the abstracts I read in college were like that. Hence the term "abstract". : D

9:38 am

:-D yes, that is what I am thinking, Molly.

9:39 am

well, stid, the abstract shouldn't be INaccurate, of course, but it doesn't need to include everything that's in the paper. Just enough that someone reading it knows what the topic is and enough about it to know whether they want to read the actual paper or not.

9:39 am

abstracts are like picaso,s work..reality is almost there;)

9:40 am

okay, that's what I was thinking, sue and cross. I sent the paper by email at midnight, but have until 10 am today to make changes. So... back soonish. (((Hugs all))) thanks again *poof*

9:41 am

Abstract = High Falutin' Cliff Notes. : P

9:48 am

wo** count today?

9:49 am

230, grant

10:34 am

Cross, have you really not heard of ziti? Or do y'all Canadians call it something else?

10:34 am

10:36 am

y.all..i love it eh? hehe

10:36 am

10:39 am

What's up with the ro8? I keep looking and trying to no avail. Clue? please.

10:41 am

ro8 - look to the very bottom part of a red flower which symbolises romantic love.

10:41 am

Find the flower, then its deepest part.

10:41 am

ty Haz. I'll ponder that

10:41 am

Hi fellow babblers!

10:41 am

Ahh. Got it. TY

10:41 am

Hello, beach.

10:41 am

did any among us finish the monster grid, yesterday?

10:42 am

Hmmm... deepest part....

10:42 am

I did.

10:42 am

The bit under the ground...

10:42 am

I did, don't kn ow how

10:42 am

aha, compound

10:42 am

Do you know penne pasta crossy? Same as ziti but smaller. And BF is up and I will bbl

10:42 am

Hmm. That word his highly suspect.

10:42 am

I thought it was humungous; but , not too weird.

10:42 am

10:43 am

10:43 am

wtg bichon! not me, got halfway

10:43 am

ok - then you are set! BBL

10:43 am

Bye, hootowl.

10:43 am

about 8 basic ones i use on a regular basis

10:46 am

i keep my kitchen uncomplicated,8 pastas,6 herbs,6 spices,spuds,veggies 4 or 5 fruits so a small pantry can make as many dishes as possible.i do not need to sort through 40 pasta,s or 100 herbs and spices cause crossy is a busy boy;)

10:47 am

assorted animal chunks in da freez and i am good to go;)

10:48 am

the clan does not complain and they do not lack variety..spoiled brats;)

10:49 am

i have about 50 spices and 2 pastas (3 counting couscous)

10:49 am

Going way back to the beginning of this...Annie thanks for mentioning baked ziti. I haven't made it in a while.

10:50 am

I have a pretty extensive spice and herb collection too, JMC. Some I buy, some I blend myself.

10:50 am

mmmm baked ziti; one of my all-time favorites

10:52 am

i blend some myself like steak rub curry and gorham masala

10:52 am

baked ziti was my hubby's favorite dish

10:52 am

by the way, crossy... I love how you said "assorted animal chunks" lol

10:52 am

*sigh* but i need to cut back on steak

10:53 am

and cheese :-(

10:55 am

I am dutifully eating my salad with no fat Italian dressing on it for lunch. Boring.

10:55 am

Hi all......clue for de8 please??

10:55 am

de+****on hears a hoo

10:55 am

then pt and pl

10:55 am

I need to cut back on everything, except exercise, which is difficult for me, due to back probs.... what a dilemma!

10:56 am

ah but i have back problems and my physical therapist gave me stretches i do when i exercise

10:56 am

dr

10:56 am

thanx jmc!!

10:56 am

thanks for the jmc

10:56 am

you can walk and do seated weightbearing exercise as well

10:56 am

hello everyone :)

10:56 am

yw

10:56 am

This looks better than yesterday!

10:56 am

hi cyber

10:57 am

no kidding!

10:57 am

I have degenerative disc disease... what type of stretches do you do? Do they help?

10:57 am

by the way... jmc I always see your name as jmncrick - jimminy cricket... until I look closer =)

10:57 am

i do a very gentle version of the cobra

10:58 am

lol i would be proud to be jimminy cricket (except i like to have more fun th** he does)

10:58 am

I have started using a recumbent stationary bike. Walking is difficult, but I recently got a brace, so maybe I can do more of that. Cobra a nice pose; I like it a lot.

10:59 am

JMC...thats only a 7

10:59 am

and i do deep knee bends holding on to a bar to build up my legs (to avoid bending at waist to pick up things)

11:00 am

when you are better maybe you can do some leg lifts from the floor to build up your abdominal muscles

11:00 am

I have degenerative disk disease too

11:00 am

just had surgery a few weeks ago

11:00 am

in the mean time you can always stand (or lie on your back) and suck them in over and over again

11:00 am

flask PT

11:01 am

whats pt?

11:01 am

My disc between L5 and S1 is basically gone, and the most degenerated part of the disc is on the outside, so my stretches need to open up that area, between those discs. I have a couple more that are beginning to degenerate. BTW.... what abdominal muscles?? LOL... I really need to work on that the most, I think.

11:01 am

well do what your physical therapist says and not me

11:01 am

well that is the thing you know beach, a strong abdomen protects your back

11:02 am

then the other stretch you want to do is the cat

11:02 am

if you want more info about the stretches please ask

11:02 am

'tis ok....got it now, thanx!

11:02 am

Peggy Cappy's Yoga For Arthritis DVD is very good. She does her exercises with two other people. One of them always does the exercises from a seated position, to help people with mobility problems.

11:03 am

I know! I have totally let that go, and am paying the price now. Yes... cat works well for me. I do need to MAKE myself work on the ab strength.

11:03 am

the cat done very gently will help open up those disks

11:04 am

good to know molly--i belong to a gym that is totally supportive of older women (although there are some really buff guys there too) and work with a trainer 1/2 hour each week to keep me moving forward

11:04 am

u stats, please?

11:04 am

@Molly; I will check that DVD out... @jmc, I should start my day with several cat stretches. I practiced yoga for years, but I have let so much go by the wayside... Have to start back!

11:04 am

i hate the gyms where they all look at you funny if you are old and fat

11:04 am

phone

11:04 am

That's eye candy, jmc. Incentive to keep going to the gym!

11:08 am

nbt/nbs

11:10 am

I HATE it when the buff guys make loud noises as they lift weights. That is so annoying. And so unneccesary.

11:12 am

I am not one who likes exercising around other people. Hence I have a treadmill and two exercise DVD's instead of a gym membership.

11:18 am

Ah, the E word, one I need to do more of...I hear you about the back problems, beach - I've had both my knees replaced and three fusions in my neck; when you can't walk and can't lift anything it's hard to get exercise.

11:19 am

Now I can walk (although not run) and I can lift things but in the meantime I gained a lot of weight. So it is a process. Listening to the physical therapist is a good idea.

11:20 am

And I finished grading all 200 exams! Woot woot woot!!!! (which ought to be a wo**, dammit)

11:26 am

is it me or are the d's on the right hand side invisible?

11:28 am

omg everyone's run off and left me to fend for meself!!!!

11:29 am

11:44 am

*quickly hands cyber a bedpan*

11:44 am

howdy inge;)

11:44 am

pl?

11:44 am

After that fall down our stairs on Jan 27 I learned today taht I did not break my thumb after all. No broken bones in 74 years.

11:45 am

is that a clue jmc?

11:45 am

great news, inge!

11:45 am

well down inge! i broke my foot some years ago so i can't say that

11:45 am

yes cyber

11:45 am

PL!

11:45 am

you are fortunate inge,i carry a cd-r disk from my hospital when i travel,showing locations of all pins and screw for when i set of the detectors,that way i do not get the search con significance lol

11:46 am

not getting it

11:46 am

plural

11:46 am

A bedpan is a clue for that word?

11:46 am

*gives cyber some glasses*

11:46 am

does that actually work, crossy? I set off all the alarms and get searched anyway; I was told that notes and other evidence wouldn't help.

11:46 am

no bedpan is not a clue lol!

11:47 am

she said she was looing

11:47 am

pl was the clue

11:47 am

it does if you get the disk right from the hospital along with a dr,s note and contact numbers

11:47 am

oh -- lol -- instead of looking

11:47 am

that way i avoid the bend over and cough search

11:47 am

My son has a titanium pin in his hip. He just has to go through a separate scanner at the airport. You don't need any medical proof.

11:47 am

it depends on the airport i think crossy

11:47 am

who has a clue list?

11:48 am

lickety inge

11:48 am

i think so jmc

11:48 am

does anyone have a clue for the cr 6/21 that follows sings like Bing?

11:49 am

so I've been searched unnecessarily all these years? Dear me.

11:49 am

nm

11:49 am

oh i still get the full pat down,but nothing more

11:50 am

cr6 like pr6 part of an atom

11:50 am

hello

11:50 am

hi soodles

11:51 am

i must go do some remedial emailing for a reporter, bbl

11:51 am

Nope Sue. The way I understand it, anyone with metal in them gets "special" treatment. : D

11:51 am

ty seain

11:52 am

That has certainly been my experience, Molly.

11:52 am

Hey Soodle.

11:53 am

Hi Moll :-). I too have quite a bit of hardware in me, and I dread going through airport security.

11:53 am

darn pins and screws,more arthritis than you can shake a stick at;/

11:53 am

and hi, soodle!

11:53 am

Tom has a set of titanium stuff to wear for airport security

11:53 am

Erm - that would be plates and pins etc, (just read back over my post....)

11:54 am

Actually the new scanners are nice for those of us who are bionic - the metal doesn't set them off, so no pat down.

11:54 am

:) gotcha

11:54 am

those are titanium nowadays too

11:55 am

got mine in 79 so no idea what t hey are made of,but i get the pat down everytime

11:55 am

yeah, my grandmother in same boat, crossy

hello babble friends... glad to see you again so soon, brabble!

12:53 pm

hi hurshy

12:55 pm

I guess no one needs help, so I am on my way -- bye :)

12:55 pm

hi cnan and thanks for the U clue

12:55 pm

hi again, all!

12:57 pm

me being thick can i ask what a comparative word means lol

12:58 pm

uusue, do you care to share why you chose the name uusue? some people's names are obvious - a computer savvy grandmother... etc... i get curious about the others

12:58 pm

hi, hurshy - I chose it because I am a UU (Unitarian Universalist). Also it rhymes.

12:59 pm

hi frog - a comparative word ends in -er, while the superlative ends in -est (so big, bigger, biggest)

1:00 pm

Sue...love the icon! : D

1:00 pm

aww bless ya sue - but i guess im gonna struggle wiv that ur7 even with that info lol

1:01 pm

u + Hawke, an actor who was in "Dead Poet Society" and other movies...and plural.

1:01 pm

Sorry...ur +

1:01 pm

well, while everything uusue said about comparatives and superlatives is correct, this U clue doesn't fall into that realm. it's another word... more **** one but less **** three is two.

1:01 pm

so how is han an ending for a comparative word?

1:01 pm

forgive my ignorance lol

1:03 pm

sorry, I answered without looking at the original clue (a bit distracted, Dad is getting more independent and almost fell again)

1:03 pm

and i explained before you asked :)

1:03 pm

Not "han" Frog.

1:03 pm

hey all

1:03 pm

no molly i know but the last two letters of word are an, and comparative word is apparently er

1:04 pm

see my 1:01 post frogface dear

1:04 pm

im not nitpicking, just trying to better my understanding of the language

1:04 pm

hi, cathy!

1:05 pm

ok hurshy - i'll just go with the flow lol and sorry to be ignorant xxx

1:05 pm

Comparative in the sense that the phrase "I am better **** you" compares you and I.

1:05 pm

i can't believe it won't take 'rosti'

1:05 pm

but you needn't go with the flow, i explained it

1:05 pm

and there, now molly did too.

1:05 pm

oh, good explanation, Molly!

1:06 pm

And it won't take "cred" or "woot" either. Obviously this dictionary has not been talking to my son :-)

1:06 pm

i tried cred and woot.... lol

1:07 pm

Oh Lord, am I sick to death of people using the fake word "cred".

1:07 pm

it's just short for credit... what's the big deal?

1:07 pm

or, i suppose, for credibility.

1:07 pm

i thought it was short for 'credibility' too

1:08 pm

yes i think credibility is really more what it is.

1:08 pm

if you want to say credit, you have to say "props", lol

1:08 pm

that's what I thought, hursh and cathy - lots of perfectly good words started out as shorter versions of other words (lab, for example)

1:08 pm

lol

1:08 pm

I'm not a big fan of over used words.

1:08 pm

fan short for fanatic :)

1:09 pm

you must hate "a" "and" and "the" (i tease)

1:09 pm

Me neither.... but I don't fine "cred" that over-used really

1:10 pm

find*... oops. lol

1:10 pm

now, "segue" is very overused - or was for awhile there, maybe it's fallen off a bit now.

1:11 pm

Okay, well you all have a nice day.

1:11 pm

"anomaly" is one that is over-used in my company...

1:11 pm

molly you're not leaving cause i teased, i hope???

1:11 pm

bye, molly

1:11 pm

I have mixed feelings about so-called made-up words - on the one hand it is good to be precise in one's language and not misuse words. On the other hand, language is an evolving thing, and all words are made up at some point or other.

1:13 pm

i like to make up words, myself. i made up velocious, as a nice fancy word for fast. if you have high ferocity, you're ferocious; if you have high velocity, you're velocious!

1:13 pm

i agree, uusue. some things just can't be bothered to get stressed about.

1:14 pm

hi all

1:14 pm

hi boobear

1:15 pm

i feel nervous and it's very weird. the outgoing and incoming directors are about to have a talk with my soon-to-be-former supervisor about how she won't be responsible for me anymore. so why do *i* feel nervous?

1:15 pm

hi, boo!

1:16 pm

sounds like a rather weird situation, hurshy - I think I would be nervous too.

1:16 pm

I love my made up word ... fantabulous!

1:16 pm

and I made up the word baconification a few days ago :-)

1:16 pm

lol

1:17 pm

hurshy - cuz it's change.

1:17 pm

I made up a word too - my divorce date is my unniversary! I celebrate every year!

1:17 pm

and i am worried she will be mad and find a way to take it out on me, i guess.

1:17 pm

lol jessmom, that is a great one (as long as you're not upset about it, i guess)

1:18 pm

It was the only way to keep my sanity, hurshy, so I can handle it :)

1:22 pm

what was the situation (if you want to talk about it, that is) ?

1:22 pm

Hi Hursh

1:23 pm

hello boo

1:24 pm

He was a cheating, compulsive liar who spent all of the money that I worked for. I've now been at the same job for 15 years, and he averaged 15 jobs a year.

1:25 pm

then you are clearly better off!

1:26 pm

i feel like people are sadder when they thought they had a good thing, and then the guy left for a younger woman, or something, you know?

1:26 pm

Yes, I am. Actually, he died in January. I was shocked to realize how much it hurt to lose him. I tried to make sure he had a relationship with our daughter...

1:27 pm

that must have been a very emotionally confusing time

1:28 pm

It was. Our daughter is turning 14 this month, and he was only 39. He was diabetic and took terrible care of himself.

1:28 pm

sorry to hear that, jes (all of it!). Take care of yourself...

1:29 pm

oh, no, jess - I hope your daughter is doing ok.

1:29 pm

i hope you find good ways to help her deal with that - what a challenge.

1:30 pm

Thanks uusue. It was a strange situation. I am glad she had a relationship with him, but I am also glad there was distance as well.

1:30 pm

I am trying... There are some things that are going on at school now that I need to figure out. If only I knew what I was doing....

1:31 pm

I have a similar situation with my son's father (he's still alive, though). It is hard. They have a relationship but not a close one (which is how my son wants it).

1:31 pm

may i offer a suggestion? my parents are both alive and not divorced, and yet i'm in therapy talking about some of the difficult things that have happened involving them. i feel like if i had had some help figuring stuff out more at the time, it would have been easier and wouldn't have developed into depression and stuff. i wonder if a counselor would be helpful to your daughter in sorting out her feelings about her dad and his death.

1:32 pm

**gentle hugs for jessmom**

1:33 pm

hey again all

1:33 pm

good idea, hurshy - I think sometimes we are afraid of counseling, and it really can be very helpful.

1:33 pm

hi, stid!

1:33 pm

I have thought of counseling. She has discussed the situation with teachers and the guidance counselor. She was present at the meeting with the doctors to talk about removing Gary from life support. She talked about this with them.

1:34 pm

hi stid, thanks

1:34 pm

my parents both need counseling themselves, but won't go. and yet, my sister IS a counselor! they ought not to see her, of course, but i think by being so down on the idea of going to anyone, they are sort of insulting her chosen profession!

1:34 pm

jess, there are some good grief support groups as well, specifically for teens and young people

1:35 pm

for NBT, the (presumably) fishy D on the right please?

1:35 pm

sounds like a good start, jessmom!

1:35 pm

i'm currently struggling with that D too, stid

1:35 pm

there's a dh4 that's a boat, stid

1:35 pm

thanks sue,

1:36 pm

I sorta figured something like that

1:37 pm

just noticed that I am more than half way :-)

1:37 pm

NBT. And time to get ready to head out... a "career fair" today at the college. Semi-mandatory attendance. I hate this idea that we do all this work without knowing if anything is actually certain. *shrug* oh well.

1:37 pm

good luck, stid - see you later!

1:37 pm

and just past halfway now too. *smile* *poof*

1:37 pm

just got another dh - d + who what where when why and...

1:38 pm

unless that IS the boat

1:38 pm

it is, hurshy

1:38 pm

in which case the other one i have is d + the computer from 2001 a space odyssey... i think.

1:40 pm

right, the lentils, hurshy

1:41 pm

ah. lentils.

1:42 pm

our conversation seems to have lost a bit of zip

1:43 pm

*zip* ZIP ZZIIPPPPPPP!!!!

1:43 pm

that's more like it!

1:43 pm

(visiting nurse is here with dad)

I didn't realize there were two of them

did he hear a "Who" ??

2:26 pm

how about the da 6 ?

don't have it yet, cos

2:27 pm

He did hear a Who, Diane. : )

2:27 pm

i have the da 6

2:27 pm

let me think

2:28 pm

diane - did you ever find out what your mystery container is? Is the bottom of it a bit concave?

2:28 pm

da + honk your car **rn + turn the lights **

2:28 pm

then plural

2:29 pm

thanks! weird word

2:29 pm

yeah

2:29 pm

thank you from me also

Not solved yet CadFan ....couple of people working on it... still don't know what language is inscribed.

I'd love to send the pictures to some curator at a museum,... don't know how one finds links etc. to do that. I guess I'll just have to tell my friend to go to the Travelling Antique show !!!

thanks, Helena !

2:31 pm

np!

2:31 pm

anyone have the URs?

2:31 pm

Looks like an old one of those kits they use for business peoples lunches in India. I have a number of Indian students - I'll have them check the inscription. Also have Arabic students (and for that matter Japanese, Chinese and Serbian)

2:32 pm

I'm very intrigued by that Diane. I can't wait to find out what it is.

2:32 pm

Rats. I hope it's something more interesting than a lunch pail. : P

2:32 pm

ur, vowel, and ****k you very much

2:33 pm

thanks!

2:33 pm

and then plural it

and not sure about the bottom of the container, CadFan .... oh, and please do... that would be great. Krista, a babbler, thinks the language looks like a Slavic lettering of some sort

LOL. ... maybe a container for cremated ashes ? It's not very big... about 8 inches high... and then about 4 x 5 ...sort of oval shape I think

2:36 pm

Every time I look at it, it reminds me of the things that they use to dispense incense in Mass.

but no holes....

you mean the container they used to swing back and forth ??

2:37 pm

i always liked these containers.. i loved how they smelled lol

It's been a fun quest thus far...looking forward to the solving !

2:38 pm

this grid is easy once you get past the C and D words

2:38 pm

A tiffin - I think it's the top of a tiffin... a very fancy tiffin!

2:42 pm

5:54 pm

I have this roll around my middle that arrived some time lasst year and has refused to leave :(

5:55 pm

I love the conversations in this place. Cookies, pancakes and exercise. : D

5:55 pm

ive put on about 70 pounds in the last 10 years. id like to lose at least 50 of them.

5:56 pm

I want to firm up and have more stamina

5:57 pm

did you know that the mother on Family Ties is gay? She was on Oprah today? I had no idea

5:58 pm

i do also want to get healthy, toned, stamina, yadayadayada... but i have to be honest with myself that first and foremost, what i truly want is to lose weight.

5:58 pm

then go for it, Eva, you can do it!!

5:58 pm

yes, i think she came out a few years ago...

5:58 pm

I did know that, but I think she's just recently gone public with it. I think in her Family Ties days, she was married. I saw Michael Gross, the Dad from Family Ties, playing a gay man on Brothers & Sisters. He was very convincing, but he's straight.

5:59 pm

she apparently went public about a year ago and recently wrote a book. She was alo an alcoholic

5:59 pm

she seemed very happy today with her partner

5:59 pm

I didn't know she was an alcoholic. That's interesting, because when Tom Hanks was on the show, playing her brother, his character was an alcoholic.

6:02 pm

Wasn't she married to David Birney, from the Bridget Loves Bernie days?

6:02 pm

yes but aspparently he was physically as well as emotionallly abusive to her during their 15 year marriage

6:04 pm

Oh, that's sad.

6:05 pm

she told no one when she was working on Family Ties. but she seem happy now

6:06 pm

I never want to see another choc mint girl scout cookie. they had them at the food pantry today

6:07 pm

not much will power when it comes to sweet things

Evening Babblers!

Hi, Red :) wow, it's quiet in here, considering it's evening for you guys!

hi red

nice icon.

7:18 pm

Seeing them together must be a wonderful thing. Carol King's music was the first thing I ever sang in public. She has a special place in my heart.

Well the grid was shorter than yesterdays so I imagine a lot of ppl have finished.

i was in the fif th row. james taylor, carol king, and jo mama

todays icon theme was "Old stuff day" so I got one!

my god, he was so handsome

Ah, I get you, Red. Have no idea because I can't see how many words there are!

7:19 pm

Bleh, why do I always forget the E in Carole King?

230.

i want to suggest "produts that are ust not the same anymore"

7:19 pm

I still think James is handsome TO. He's aged well. And he looks happy these days.

well he was a mess then, who knew?

Oh, thanks :) It's not so important to me, since I'm not playing to finish, just to test my english vocabulary

Wow. We have a big wildfire going on 50 miles east of here. and man the air is smoking.

I like to finish but, I almost never do because I dont use the list.

let me rephrase, I try not to use the list but when I finish I usually do use the list for the last bunch.

7:24 pm

Back to icons...The Sauna Pants was the best. I think that should have gotten some kind of Babble Icon Award.

I still have that one in reserve!

7:45 pm

7:45 pm

Ken doesn't deserve Carole King

with your permission: fie on him!

7:46 pm

he always loved her... i mean, come on he did have some good taste.... gevrey chambertin, carole king, and moi of course

7:46 pm

not unless he gives you lots of Arnoux Gevrey Chambertin

well roger that!

doren are there no tickets to be found?

7:48 pm

well, he has given me some... and I feel funny about asking again, but he did say i should when I run out. owl, this was last year!

7:49 pm

Still missing u's...

7:50 pm

I wouldn't hesitate a second doren

7:50 pm

7:51 pm

"That and the wine". Dorens, you are classic!!!

7:51 pm

I hate that word. thanks doren

7:51 pm

classic what (afraid to ask, actually)?

7:54 pm

To me, classic means priceless. *Wonders why Ruru hates the word classic*

7:55 pm

re7 hate that word I can never remember it

7:55 pm

oh, ok, i guess thanks then.

7:55 pm

hi, all!

7:55 pm

Hi uu!

7:56 pm

hi sue... i have to go look for your phone number and call. you have any plans tomorrow? (i have physical therapy at 4, then at 5 i'm free

hello uu

7:56 pm

in Doren's business Classic means something entirely different

7:56 pm

:-) thanks for explaining ru

7:57 pm

hi doren! Dad has a doctor appointment at 4:15 and after that we will probably go to Trader Joe's. Probably be home around 6.

7:57 pm

Hi, TO!

7:57 pm

which trader joe's do you go to? i need a couple of items from there myself... but none really near me

7:58 pm

not sure, probably either Westfield or Florham Park

7:58 pm

PB... Anyway, time for me to leave. I have testing tomorrow, and I must study. Goodbye everyone!

7:58 pm

florham park is the closest to me... guess it is midway between us

7:59 pm

hello my dear friends. really quite brainless at the moment, so grid is kicking me in the brain, but it is lovely to see so many pals here

7:59 pm

doc is in whippany, so probably whichever one of those is closest to whippany; dad said he wanted to find the florham park one as it's moved?

hello trif

7:59 pm

night, mark!

7:59 pm

and hi, trif!

7:59 pm

whippany sounds kinky

7:59 pm

hello.

8:00 pm

not as kinky as parsippany, which is right next door to me

8:00 pm

hasn't moved as far as I know, sue... two months ago it was in the same place

8:00 pm

lol, ruru!

8:00 pm

parsippany sounds like a preist retreat

8:01 pm

ha5/22 pls

have fond memories of parsippany as a child

8:01 pm

I remember when I lived in New Mexico, one of my colleagues needed to call a place in New Jersey that I knew well, called Piscataway - the operator almost hung up on him :-)

goota love those lenni lenape names

8:02 pm

yes, I'm not sure what he's thinking of, doren, but I have a map of it anyway

8:03 pm

well owl, a lot of folks still laugh at hackensack and teaneck

8:03 pm

we have a place in Mass called "Athol" that's always good phonetic fun

really.but hackensack has been immortalized in song and film

8:03 pm

how do you feel about meeting at trader joe's and going next door to starbucks?

8:03 pm

yes, I know that one too, trif...

8:04 pm

"Oh Little Town of Hackensack...."

I would like to know where these last 68 words are.... :(

Oh one of them was the volcano, gee, I always miss that one and "iron"

8:04 pm

Sure, we could do that, doren; sounds like fun!

8:05 pm

t's ... wrapped up

lol let's see, billy joel, dave van ronk

8:05 pm

*Hangs head in shame. Attempted to compliment Dorens and came out looking like I insulted her*

8:05 pm

ok. i'll get there around 5:15 if traffic is not bad

and some old w2 song

ww2

8:06 pm

nah, not at all mol. i asked, you explained, that's it. i feel flattered, no probs

8:06 pm

hackensack.ack.ack.ack-ack

8:06 pm

iron?

8:07 pm

looks like it's about 10 minutes from the doc's office so we should get there around the same time.

8:07 pm

drinking a very decent 8.50 bottle of wine.. sicilia rosso (colosi)

8:07 pm

colosi is good

8:07 pm

i'll send you my cellphone # -- and hopefully will remember to bring my cellphone with me!

8:07 pm

Oh, watching this show makes me sad. None of the up and comers have this kind of musical talent.

8:08 pm

<---final lap

8:08 pm

13 here

8:08 pm

I met Dave van Ronk when I was in college, TO -

8:08 pm

ok, sounds good, doren!

8:09 pm

I never meet famous people

8:09 pm

was dating a guy who was a folksinger and knew a lot of other singers (this was around 1969-1970)

8:09 pm

met me!!

amen, molly. to have lived through that era musically was amazing.

8:09 pm

oh.. yes.. well.. that is someone famous I've met

dave van ronk was great

8:10 pm

I don't remember him.. know the name.. not the music

8:10 pm

i "hooked up" with Steve Katz, of the Blues Project... later Blood Sweat and Tears (not my finest hour actually) Also Richie Lewis (later a ridiculous shtick comedian)

8:10 pm

LOVE blood sweat and tears

did you meet al kooper?

was just barely living at this point....

8:11 pm

wonders what "hooked up " with means

LOL red, thanks for that! :P

8:11 pm

Sue has been holding out on us. She is connected.

8:12 pm

yup, he drove this big old cadillac and lived in queens

8:12 pm

out here only old queens drive cadillacs.. so not quite the same

there was no bst without him. daivd clayton thomas? please.

8:13 pm

i know this sounds ridiculous, but he actually used the term "blood sweat and tears" in describing how hard they work. as far as hook up, i dunno, ruru, but the kids use it a lot and it sounds satisfactorally ambiguous

8:13 pm

I also went to high school with Meryl Streep (she was a year ahead of me). She was also at Yale when I was there (she was in the drama school, I was in the graduate school). Used to see her at the law school dining room, which was the cheapest place to eat on campus.

8:13 pm

this was in 1965

8:13 pm

kooper played organ on blonde on blonde...

oh my, you were a kid then

I went to school with the current state representative for Minnesota...not really the same ring to it is it?

8:14 pm

15.. definitely underage!

8:14 pm

OMG

8:15 pm

not in arkansas

8:15 pm

but we were in new york, ru

8:15 pm

wow, doren, you were a lot better at getting out of the house than I was :-) - my adventures didn't really start until I was in college!

doren, if you noticed the woman in the wihite sweatshirt in the pic i sent you - that is mary higgins clark's daughter

8:16 pm

oh, and she is a writer? mary higgins clark or the daughter?

8:16 pm

Dorens and I could have gotten in a lot of trouble together. *That is a compliment* : D

mhc is the writer. daughter is a judge

8:16 pm

hahhaha

8:17 pm

i think i was a hippie before the term was there.. somewhere between beatniks and hippies.. then i married the guy who went to med school and settled down for 20 years

8:17 pm

evening folks.

8:17 pm

how's the grid?

8:17 pm

nice feather

8:18 pm

hello feather. I think it's a mixed bag tonight -- some are seeming to love it, but I have found it quite challenging

8:24 pm

Hi stidmama! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid

8:42 pm

nite red

8:42 pm

:-D I don't think it's the best possible, but people who read it (including my faculty person) say it's pretty good -- at least, it meets the requirements.

8:42 pm

hello Min! I am TIRED. how about you?

8:42 pm

course it is stid (pretty good)

8:42 pm

does it get graded, or is it just a degree requirement?

8:43 pm

It is a degree requirement. My college doesn't give grades, but if it did, based on my understanding of what is appropriate at this level I would grade it B-

8:43 pm

I am tired also&about to give up on this monster grid

8:43 pm

I want to get down to 100.

8:43 pm

fireworks. clues?

8:44 pm

hi Min..how are you

8:44 pm

Tomorrow I have an "interview" with a local elementary school principal to see if my next student teaching should be in his school. I am going to do a little bit of research -- my hunch is it won't be a great fit.

8:44 pm

YAY doren!!!

8:44 pm

Congratulations Dorens on fireworks!Hooray for you!

8:44 pm

8:48 pm

8:49 pm

I am stopping at 200 wo4/9s. Now I will lend you a ha 4/6 with a story of clues. It's no se6/21 I'm addicted to Babble.I love it when Babblela4/6 is cr5/22ed with ho 6/24 of people. Hubby is a sn4/4 when it comes to Babble. He gives me a sn5/10y attitude every time I babble and it really te4/4s my patience. He has tried to de 6/24 me from babbling. If I have to endu4/6 his addiction,then he has to the same for me.In fact, he plays Farmville more th4/5 I play Babble. He spend to 4/4 of time on his farm. Once hubby is on Farmville, I can't st 5/10 his attention away from it.Who is he to make such ru4/6 comments about my addiction? Our addictions is the ro4/4 of a majority of our problems Sometimes I believe I should throw this computer out into the st 5/10. Cr4/7! Hubby wants the computer. I already told him to cool his je4/9 and get lo4/4, but that was two hours ago at the on5/10 of my babbling time. He is such a lo 5/10 when it comes to Farmville. Wish I could send his farm animals to the no5/12 pole where they could freeze to death. Anyway, I better give him the laptop or he wo 4/8 leave me alone. It is not wo5/20 it to argu with him since I know I wo 4/8 finish the grid anyway.Hope you have made no4/4 of some of my clues I wr 5/18 in my story. I am going to watch a BrandonLee movie: The Cr 4/9 for the re4/4 of the night.Goodnight babblers.I'll see you tomorrow

8:49 pm

11:48 pm

I am sorry but I will have to decline the opportuinity. I have to work on Friday and Monday and with a 3 hour drive, customs and ferries all before reaching the US for another 3 hour drive, I know that I would be too stressed to have fun for the 20 minutes I was there. ;)

11:48 pm

11:49 pm

i'll need to get a passport and come to Western Canada then, bugs
