12:06 am

jilli, I googled ford knox and was asked if I meant Fort, so here we are

12:06 am

a girl and a boy jilli... the girl is turning 3 in september and my boy is 10 months old

12:06 am

flosey, I missed the aftermath because of the adventure I had -- maybe you didn't see it at the end of the last chog.

12:07 am

no, just came in jilli, what happened?

12:07 am

that's lovely, saddy.

12:08 am

this grid is a monster!

12:08 am

got slashed (by mistake, I'm sure) by the neighbourhood cat, so went with his owners to the ER for attention. Just after the 3-0 score of the game, so missed the rest,

ty west

thx for the mo 7 diz

12:10 am

wow jilli, you're ok now though?

12:11 am

stitches?

12:12 am

interestingly, no stitches or steri-strips because cat scratch injuries are easily infected so need to be kept open with antibiotics applied.

off to Lickety

12:12 am

what kind of word is wa6 for goodness sake

ty flosey don't have that one yet

12:13 am

oh, but pretty uncomfortable, I didn't know that about cat scratches

12:14 am

yw Dee

12:14 am

hope you don't get cat scratch fever

cat scratches always hurt, too

12:15 am

no idea, flosey -- haven't found it, lol! (and yes, I'm fine, but have to see doc tomorrow for further treatment, which is awkward because I'm in the process of changing docs.

12:15 am

our calico was out all night about 11 this morning I heard her meowing she was stuck in a tree

12:15 am

ah, poor calico

12:15 am

aww. poor puss, west!

12:15 am

I figured if she got up there she could get down but a lot of the branches were missing

12:15 am

who will you go to, jilli?

12:15 am

I went to the garage and got a ladder and when I got back she was on the ground

12:16 am

west, all the prompt attention and antibiotic shoudl prevent fever.

12:16 am

flosey, that's the dilemma.

12:16 am

I'm sure the cat had all his shots too

middle column grey (another big whoop fo r moi! :)

12:17 am

tough call too, Jilli, not many taking new patients, are there?

12:17 am

wtg melon

12:17 am

I now have 5 words

12:17 am

I think I have to go to my present doc because the new one hasn't actually seen me yet or had the records trasferred, although I've been accepted as a new patient.

12:17 am

wtg again melon !!

12:18 am

oh, good

wtg flosey

12:48 am

12:48 am

I found a lamb ball in the freezer

12:48 am

it was quite good

12:48 am

oh. really?

12:49 am

looking for sheep that is walking funny ...

12:50 am

I had finnan haddie, mashed spuds, spinach, with a Pinot Grigio, then half a toasted cranberry scone topped with last year's frozen local strawberries and whipped cream (would rather have had creme fraiche) and a bit of Barefoot Zin (red.)

12:50 am

a meatball made with ground lamb

12:50 am

I'd rather eat at your house jilli

12:50 am

jilli's house sounds pretty good to me too

12:51 am

I can manage "cooking" for one.

12:51 am

grilled chicken breasts.. here.. with spaghetti squash, and salad.. BOOOOORing

12:52 am

the mashed spuds were from the deli, ready made and delicious. The spinach was frozen.

12:52 am

sounds good !!

12:52 am

but a nice sauvignon blanc.. that I drank too much of

12:52 am

sounds not too boooring to me, ru.

12:53 am

mrs ru..likes simple dinners

12:53 am

I am sooo stuck I can't see anythign

12:53 am

12:54 am

LOL

12:54 am

12:54 am

ya gotta be kidding me jilli

12:54 am

mrs ru doesn't cook

12:54 am

Madame Ru doesn't cook?

12:54 am

nope

12:55 am

(nice work, mrs ru)

12:56 am

Oh, I'm over halfway in this silly grid

12:56 am

but not nbt although nbs

12:56 am

I have 9 left and I don't see a thing

12:57 am

12:59 am

jilli it's ha 6/39

12:59 am

and the i is a short form of the word in4/7

12:59 am

1:00 am

oh dear god! I'm tireder than I thought! ty and firebirds

1:02 am

Just put on the Vancouver news -- awful!

1:03 am

the wa 6/48 is sillier

1:03 am

I put powdered sugar on mine

1:03 am

indeed, jilli, a huge black mark on such a normally clean and well behaved city

1:03 am

bet they're all from away

1:03 am

have to get to bed - bb in the morning and thank youagain. Must have been that fish dinner I made tonight....

1:04 am

well West, they aren't FANS

1:04 am

from the look of them they're just a bunch of drunken yokel kids

1:04 am

fireworks

1:05 am

wish they could round them all up and make them clean up the mess - and pay for the damage

1:05 am

hey RU, wtg

1:05 am

Whoopee ruru!!!

1:05 am

I was just thinking that flosey all that will cost the city tons of money

1:05 am

HInt: ... my last 9 weren't even words

1:06 am

yay ruru !!

1:06 am

just looking a clips from earlier -- burning police cars!

1:06 am

yes, and guess who pays!!

1:06 am

not the hoodlum kids

1:06 am

for sure

1:06 am

I know.

1:07 am

police cars on fire.. ?

1:07 am

do donuts burn?

1:08 am

they were jumping all over police cars, one car was flipped over and set on fire

1:08 am

it is just so unreal

1:09 am

no idea how many injuries

1:11 am

may I please have a clue for the mo7

1:12 am

starts with prefix for one ends with almost sate

mo 4 + opp of to empty minus last letter

1:12 am

thanks Dee, looking

1:13 am

ty for the mo7 clue, west

1:14 am

yw jilli

1:14 am

sorry, and West, tks

1:14 am

(I took a kitchen break and saw more of the rioting -- horrified.)

1:14 am

I have 7 to go and just found what digital cameras don't use

1:15 am

ty west

1:16 am

I keep trying French words and they don't work -- but you never know with enable

1:16 am

yqw jilli

1:17 am

I'm making up words now

1:18 am

has anyone clued the ha6, can't seem to monkey it

1:19 am

looks sort of like what your silver tea service sits on but starts with ha

1:19 am

yay, FW - and silly me, last word was fa4, baby deer, shoulda seen THAT much earlier, lol

1:19 am

thanks west, looking

1:19 am

Yay rbud !! Bambi is sad.

1:20 am

maybe you call it a sideboard flosey

1:20 am

my silver tea servic sits on a tray, no help

ha 6 def: the part of the face above the upper jaw; the cheekbone and temple

1:20 am

oh, was thinking of some kind of tray

1:21 am

could be a type of luncheon

1:21 am

fireworks

1:22 am

Yay flosey !!!

1:22 am

WOW flosey!

wtg flosey

1:22 am

I'm thick as a plank tonight.

1:22 am

thanks west, the other word for sideboard did it

well I am off til the flip... *poofing with hugs*....

1:23 am

well, didn't care much for the grid but the chat was fun

1:23 am

gnight dee!

1:23 am

good night (( dee ))

1:24 am

could someone give a different clue for the ha6 please -- suitable for a moron?

1:24 am

jilli, our AH luncheon was served this way but drop first 2 letters and replace with ha

1:25 am

jillie use double high score cons and little alien

1:25 am

ty flosey -- what an obscure word!

1:25 am

good clue ursh

1:26 am

indeed!

1:26 am

and ty ursh

1:26 am

where is our goose and volcano when you need them

1:27 am

* where are ?

1:27 am

I'm in too much of a daze right now -- will leave the last 18 for tomorrow although it's a busy one and now have to see a doc too :-(

1:27 am

love your old Ford jilli

1:27 am

ty flosey -- bad punning, I know.

1:28 am

had you ever seen one? I don't think I have

1:29 am

No, haven't seen a Tin Lizzie, but my cousin bought a Model A (antique) when he was at McGill

1:29 am

Both before my time!

1:30 am

of course!

1:30 am

wonder if there are any collectors who would have one

1:30 am

the old cars that have been kept in shape are so interesting

1:31 am

lots of money goes into them

1:31 am

The earliest car I remember my parents having was an Austin 7 in the early 30s.

1:31 am

Oh I'm sure there are Model T collectors!

1:33 am

I don't even remember what car my dad drove, just that it was quite square looking

1:33 am

I do remember one of my uncles having a 2 seater with a rumble seat that we loved to ride in

1:35 am

Looking at tapes of the earlier riots. How dare those hooligans set fire to other people's property. smash department store windows, set fire to awnings, go in and loot -- in a civilised city? Disgusting!

1:35 am

I remember rumble seats -- what fun!

1:36 am

I agree, jilli, it's behaviour we would never have anticipated in Vancouver

1:36 am

on the radio they just said the police are throwing tear gas and the rioters are throwing it back

1:36 am

No tear gas but pepper spray

1:36 am

ripping up fences and using them as barricades

1:36 am

yes, it's just totally out of control - even brought in the Mounties

1:37 am

shame on them

1:37 am

they were using tear gas, according to some of the reports

1:37 am

Police are lining up and barricading roads

1:37 am

where is your daughter flosey not near there I hope

1:37 am

it is a terrible black mark on beautiful Vancouver

1:38 am

they're saying the transit system is shut down so people can't get out

1:38 am

no, they're staying with s-i-l's Mom while their condo is being shown - hope it sells quickly

1:38 am

in West Van

1:39 am

the one they worked so hard on?

1:39 am

This is taking place in the downtown core of the city, on the fashionable shopping Robson Street -- like Fifth Avenue.

1:39 am

sounds like Libya

1:40 am

yes west - they fixed it up to sell, have been looking at houses

1:40 am

And where all the joyful Olympic gatherings were. What an ugly contrast.

1:40 am

that's nice flosey with a yard for William

1:40 am

yes, that's one big consideration

1:41 am

Mounted police on horses are advancing slowly and dispersing the crowd.

1:42 am

someone said he can't get over the people looking so excited to be rioting

1:42 am

but with transit shut down, it's going to be hard for

1:42 am

people to get home

1:43 am

yes it will

1:43 am

I can't understand bystanders just gawking, you'd think they want to get away as fast as they could

1:43 am

I can't imagine how worried parents must be

1:43 am

they're just talking now on CTV about how people can get home -- Skytrain open but no buses.

1:44 am

imagine how the Canucks feel about it all

1:45 am

not very good I'd imagine they seem like such nice guys

1:46 am

to get that far, and they played their hearts out - and then this!

1:46 am

it seems like a slap in the face for them

1:46 am

So sad.

1:47 am

they aren't to blame

1:48 am

of course not, but they must feel hurt and saddened to see such behaviour

1:48 am

just heard a bruins fan was stabbed

1:49 am

probably not the only one

1:49 am

oh, how absolutely disgusting

1:49 am

yes, there have been stabbings. Insanity.

1:50 am

I remember when the Red Sox won the World Series in 2004 and a girl was killed ..she wasn't even rioting but was hit in the eye with a rubber bullet

1:50 am

well, the police were taking pictures as well, sure hope they get these idiots locked up for a while

1:51 am

getting them to clean up and pay for the damage would be the best thing

1:51 am

the announcer is getting really upset

1:51 am

if only that could be possible, west

1:52 am

I know they'll probably all get away with it

1:52 am

It's all so pointless!

1:53 am

for sure

1:53 am

I must get to bed

1:53 am

good night jilli and west - and any lurkers!

1:53 am

Me too, but it will be hard to get to sleep.

1:53 am

Gnight flosey.

1:54 am

yes, it sure will be

1:54 am

Hi Jill and Flosey!

1:54 am

Long time no see.

1:55 am

hi faux

1:55 am

Hi westford.

1:55 am

good night flosey sleep well

1:56 am

Hello faux -- I owe you an email -- feeling very guilty about that

1:56 am

Oh that's ok. I just sent you a new message.

1:57 am

I've had a series of events taking up my time

1:57 am

Good -- I'll go and look...

1:57 am

Oh I understand.

1:57 am

Thanks.

2:00 am

Just looked, but I can't go to MSN just now -- much too tired and upset. I'll email you as soon as I can.

2:02 am

Ok thank you Jill.

2:02 am

Ok thank you Jill.

2:02 am

Much as I'd like to know the mystery, the rest sounds like the same old same old, sorry.

2:03 am

Must go to bed now -- goodnight all!

2:04 am

Good night.

2:04 am

me too jilli leaving with 4 to go

2:04 am

Good night westford.

2:16 am

hello all

2:20 am

Hi, cosdem - can you log into a messenger please? There's something I'd like to ask you about.

morning all how many words today please

2:23 am

49

thanks

2:56 am

hi everyone clue 4 the ep7 please

3:01 am

ep + not out + three vowels.

3:02 am

The ending looks sort of 'Kiwi' to me - if that's helpful?

3:03 am

ty is the mo7 anything to do with lunar

3:04 am

No, it isn't. It's like the preceding word, with three more letters added on.

3:06 am

ψ Ψ ψ Ψ ψ ← W I R E F O R K S → ψ Ψ ψ Ψ ψ

3:07 am

well done

3:08 am

can you give me a clue 4 the mo7 tried loads

3:11 am

Well, it begins with the preceding word, then ends in three more letters - consonant, vowel, consonant. Have you ever tried using this site - http://www.morewords.com/ when you're stuck? It's ever so helpful...

3:12 am

no but ile have a look thankyou

3:14 am

Those last three letters it ends with are like the opposite of to empty, only minus one consonant. I really don't like spelling things out for people because I don't like it done for me - but some words are very difficult to clue!

3:29 am

hey back again for a ffew

3:30 am

got it thanks for all your help jc

3:31 am

good morning

3:32 am

I just took apart my computer tower and cleaned it, although it wasn't very dirty.

7:11 am

Stats please for the lower N for NBT....

7:11 am

I find hockey very nerve-wracking....but fun!

7:11 am

I dont have it car

7:11 am

I usually dont watch it but could not stop myself in this stanley cup series

7:12 am

I do have a soft spot for the Bruins (my real love is the Maple Leafs)but i would have liked to have seen the cup go to a Canadian team

7:12 am

This Canadian loves hockey. This disgrace was not caused by hockey fans - just the same hooligans who always seem to find a reason for destruction.

7:13 am

Yes, the after riots are sad. We have had our share of that too in Boston...it really takes away from the sportsmanship.

7:13 am

what happened that there was a disgrace?

7:13 am

It is a GREAT day to be a Boston SportsFan!!!!!!

whisk, it was caused by hockey fans

7:14 am

Since my boys were born, every major sports team has won a championship!!!! I feel personally responsible for the good karma!

7:15 am

They aren't the hockey fans I know.

7:16 am

Congratulations to The Bruins and their fans!

7:16 am

Got the single N....na + 2 more vowels.

7:16 am

good morning Molly! TY!

7:17 am

I had a bit of a thing for Ray Bourque years ago, showing age now....

7:17 am

i crushed on Bobby Orr...

7:17 am

hence my soft spot for the Bruins lol

7:17 am

I did meet him once when I was little.....swoon!

7:17 am

omg bobby Orr now your'e showing your age Car

7:18 am

He is an OLDER man!

7:18 am

yes indeed lol

7:18 am

I love the way Massachusetts people say Bobby Orr. Bobby AHH.

7:18 am

Trif is actually in the process of planning a lunch between Orr and my Dad....

7:19 am

My dad used to help stitch them up.

7:19 am

wow Car thats sounds awesome

7:19 am

I DO NOT say AHH!!!! I say Orr!

7:19 am

But, yes, there are plenty of Bostonians that do have that lovely accent!

7:19 am

This is like a grid full of gobbledygook.

7:20 am

Owah Cah...she's wicked smaht.

7:21 am

Something shiny there.

7:33 am

<--- Wonders how many people have gone/will go to the PB for po4

7:35 am

well, if they're exiting I suppose they're sort of in the PB anyway, in the sense of not being in play..

7:36 am

I thought it was funny the day "flip" was in the grid. I imagined all the midnighters crowding into the PB.

7:37 am

and of course sometimes "grid" is in the grid, leading to an odd sense of recursion...

7:41 am

hi all. is this a hateful grid or is it just me?

7:44 am

It's full of nonsense words Peri.

7:44 am

then I will probably not find the

10:42 am

hi stid thank you

10:43 am

west, I am so sorry too. What a blow to you all...

10:43 am

Hi stiddy

10:43 am

oh the bottom row, how fishy are the e, i and h? my last blanks...

10:44 am

My gosh. That's awful.

10:44 am

10:45 am

Fireworks!

10:45 am

Yay judi !!

10:45 am

YAY! Judi

10:46 am

10:46 am

YAY judi!

10:46 am

Now you have to go do your boring task.

10:46 am

10:46 am

don't want to go to the list

10:46 am

Off to do the deja vu project from dullsville. Is it Friday yet???

10:46 am

later Judi

10:46 am

*Po4/8*

10:47 am

I can't list - still using the Mac for now. But going to transition back to a PC soon. the Mac isn't nearly as vision-impaired friendly as it was purported to be.

10:48 am

sorry to hear that stid what do you need it to do?

10:49 am

I need it to have BIG letters in the actual message boxes, titling on windows and in the other system functions. Without having a piss-poor resolution that pixelates. It can't do that. So I will go back to systems that can. *grumble*

10:50 am

The screen reader function was nice when I had to read really long PDFs... but I can get that in other ways.

10:51 am

oh oh, I think I broke babble...

10:51 am

I have A's ( zoom out, Zoom in ) at the top do you have that?

10:52 am

but Mac can't do expert

10:54 am

bye for now. bbl

10:54 am

bye hego

10:54 am

The zoom in only works for the items within the working windows, not for the title bars or the system messages. Frustrating when a message thingy pops up and I have to get someone to come read it to me, or when I have to use a magnifier to see the tabs in the browser.

10:54 am

later hego

10:55 am

oh well, too much kvetching. I have to get my day started. (((hugs all)))

10:55 am

see you-all soon! *po4*

10:56 am

I wish the mac would work for you stid but I can understand

11:01 am

hi all

11:01 am

11:08 am

11:08 am

my phones are dead which really reduces the work at a hotline

11:08 am

hi, jmc and west!

11:08 am

hi sue

11:09 am

I'm watching c-span on nuclear plant safety..they just do not want to answer questions

11:10 am

complicated business, nuclear plants, and I don't think they help themselves by obfuscating

11:10 am

so true

11:11 am

Sen Sanders of VT is not letting them get away with anything he's good

11:12 am

I love c-span

11:13 am

11:26 am

11:28 am

sometimes the obvious ones slip by

11:31 am

yay, matches!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

11:42 am

what did we used to call the followers of Reverand Sung Myung Mo**? I thought they were mo****s

11:47 am

must be a proper noun...

11:54 am

wow i hate talking to phone companies even now

11:54 am

even now?

11:54 am

even now that there is competition among them

11:56 am

stats for the H please

11:56 am

ah.

11:56 am

ha6/39

11:57 am

ha6 - strange word

11:57 am

evening all

11:57 am

any hint about the po6/24? My monkeys are lost

11:57 am

hi glan

11:58 am

i like frozen chicken po6 for supper sometimes

11:58 am

hi jmc - would that be an american dish?

11:59 am

ha6 is an onscure scottish word for the top half of a face

11:59 am

probably but similar to a chicken pasty

11:59 am

*obscure

11:59 am

it is a combination of a vessel and a pastry

11:59 am

was thinking popover but it's not there!

12:00 pm

never had a chicken popover which is a muffin/roll

12:00 pm

:-)

12:01 pm

i've never had a popover either but alwasy thought they sounded interesting!

12:01 pm

still not getting the chicken dish though :-(

12:01 pm

i have had a popover--Neiman Marcus is famous for them

12:02 pm

ah, got it

12:02 pm

vessell+apple or lemon merrange ***

12:02 pm

we definitely don't have po6 here, neither do we have Nieman marcus :-(

12:02 pm

wtg glan it is always hard to know another countries food!

12:03 pm

Well Nieman-Marcus isn't what it used to be

12:03 pm

is N-M a supermarket or a restaurant?

12:03 pm

It was/is an elite store from Texas

12:04 pm

ahhh - like a Texas version of Macy's?

12:04 pm

It used to have this amazing Christmas catalog with diamond encrusted dog houses and such

12:04 pm

much higher end than Macy's

12:05 pm

I visited the galleria mall in Houston in 1975 and saw a storefront there with matching 'his and hers' cadillacs - hers was pink...

12:05 pm

and ludicrously expensive Xmas gifts in the windows - that may have been them

12:06 pm

there was a niemans across the street from there

12:06 pm

that was neimans

12:06 pm

i was working a few blocks from there in 1975

12:06 pm

actually my office building was attached to the Galleria

12:07 pm

but they had a nice restaurant at Niemans with these amazingly good popovers

12:07 pm

wow - coincidence or what - i was stunned by the store because the state of things in the Uk in 1975 was not good - we had been on 3 days a week power cut in 1973 in a desperate attempts to get things straight

12:08 pm

I had never seen many of the things you took for granted

12:08 pm

fell in love with grape juice (we didn;t have it) and hamburgers (we had omething disgusting which went by the same name)

12:09 pm

lol hamburgers are good in the U.S.

12:10 pm

we have McDs now but the thin gs they call hamburgers here are still dire - not like the proper home made ones you get in diners there

12:10 pm

so are pasties like empanadas? that is what i always imagined

12:11 pm

I was taken to a small family hamburger joint in Houston and I couldn;t make my mind up between a hamburger or a cheeseburger (we didn;t have those either) and the owner said if ate both he'd only charge me for the one - so I did and he couldn;t believe it!

12:11 pm

finally found the ha6!

12:11 pm

haha! well done glan!

12:12 pm

pasties are a circle of pastry whioch is filled with filling then the pastry either brought up to the centre and pinched together or over to one side and pinched together - proper cornish pasties are filled with chinks of beef, onion, potato, carrot and swede (rutabaga)

12:12 pm

but now we get other kinds of pastie - they all look similar

12:13 pm

so now you need to tell me what an empenada is because mexican food is like hens teeth over here!

12:13 pm

that is basically an empanada--a latin america dish

12:13 pm

lol,your story glant reminds me of when my grammy came over from the UK for a stay in 1974 or so. she was blown away by maple walnut ice cream and peanut butter.she had never had either in her life before

12:13 pm

neither had I cossy

12:13 pm

but they are usually filled with spicy beef or cheese and on5/10

12:14 pm

nor pancakes with maple syrup - never mind on the same plate as bacon

12:14 pm

mmmmm maple syrup

12:14 pm

stats for the A please

12:14 pm

and i went into an ice cream shop in New orleans and was stunned by their offer of 39 or 59 flavours - in the Uk we had the choice of vnilla strawberry or choclate

12:15 pm

an4

12:15 pm

somebody unknown

12:15 pm

an 4/4

12:15 pm

i just need the wa6 for fireflies

12:15 pm

Hi buff

12:16 pm

ah, wa6 builds from wa 4 - fireflies

12:16 pm

Hi Glan

12:17 pm

I tried a few of the ice cream flavours and fell in love with 'grasshopper' - I found strightforward mint too stong but grasshopper (based on the cocktail) was just right!

12:17 pm

never knew that meant firefly!!

12:17 pm

firflies is just my way of saying I finished the puzzle - nothing to do woith my last word

12:17 pm

Hi Bethny

12:18 pm

a is unreliable - Bethany

12:18 pm

Hello ? :)

12:18 pm

aaahhhh - okay - then what does it mean?

12:18 pm

then i introduced her to tiger stripe ice cream and that was it lol

12:19 pm

tiger stripe icecream? tel me more

12:19 pm

wa4 - another scots word - a puff of air/wind or a glance

12:20 pm

it is either french vannila with stripes of orange and black liquice or orange ice cream with stripes of black liquice

12:20 pm

hi again, all, in and out a lot today...

12:20 pm

damn typos..uoi get the idea

12:20 pm

I think the wa6 is an even smaller version

12:20 pm

oooh, not sure I like the sound of the liquorice

12:21 pm

all my darn keys are sticking and with my fat fingers not helping things along..may have to break down and get a new keyboard

12:21 pm

bummer, crossy...

12:21 pm

but thanks for the explanation crossy

12:21 pm

my favorite is butterscotch ripple:))

12:21 pm

have you poured wine over your keyboard crossy?

12:22 pm

we don;t have butterscotch ripple either LOL

12:22 pm

i have poured everything on my kb at one time or another

12:22 pm

although we now have a selection of Ben & Jerry flavours and hagen Daaz flavours

12:22 pm

yeah FIREWORKS

12:22 pm

no wonder it's sticking ;-)

12:22 pm

yaaa for beth!

12:22 pm

well done Bethany

12:23 pm

guess i better get some work done now

12:23 pm

congrats bethanyej

12:23 pm

i make home made ice cream from time to time;)

hi diane

hiya jmc :-)

raining in Alberta , Canada :-) then sun, then thunder, then more rain... ( harmles mini tornados in the area ) ... a very strange day !

4:35 pm

what a cutie diane!

harmless

thanks jm... she is a beautiful baby and I'm trying to be unbiased ! lol

4:36 pm

at that age i would think she would be ;-)

the harmless was a correction on my typing !! lol

did you get the ha word, rhozee??

4:40 pm

i knew that diane

4:40 pm

well since my phones are still broken i guess i don't need to stay late to answer the hotline

4:41 pm

Can anyone explain what the number on the end means (example to5,12) does the 12 mean what the numbers add up for that word?

4:41 pm

TY all. First fireworks in a long time!

4:43 pm

whoo hoo rhozee!

4:43 pm

read the help above feen

4:43 pm

Good grief ... much monkeying here

4:43 pm

but generally the points of the numbers = the second number if it is a 4 letter word

4:44 pm

double the points in the letter if it is a 5 letter word, etc

4:44 pm

so to5/12 means that the 5 letters add up to 6 points

4:44 pm

Ah thank you very much :)

4:44 pm

yw

4:46 pm

i need someone to help me fix quickbooks :-(

9:51 pm

I'm sitting here with Miss Marple. My husband didn't make it home

9:52 pm

his flight got canceled so he couldn't make his other connections

9:53 pm

I could do the dishes I suppose

9:53 pm

nah

9:55 pm

Is Miss Marple a pet, TV show, or book?

9:55 pm

she's a character by Agatha Christie I'm watching it on PBS

9:56 pm

that would be a great name for a pet

9:56 pm

Ah ... I love Miss Marple ... just wasn't sure if you were reading or watching. Yes, it would be a great name for a pet. Maybe a bull dog :-)

9:57 pm

I was thinking of an old grey cat

9:58 pm

That would work also :-)

9:58 pm

I like your suggestion too

9:58 pm

Bull dogs and old cats have a lot in common :p

9:58 pm

yes they do

9:59 pm

they know things

10:02 pm

and are always sure of themselves

10:04 pm

or make us think they are

10:07 pm

haha ... you're right. my pitbull seems so self-assured until my coonhound in her calm way tells him he's full of it :p

10:08 pm

females always rule

10:08 pm

exactly!

10:09 pm

did you have her first?

10:10 pm

I had the pit first. He was just a tiny rescued puppy. She came a year later (a rescue also). They're both the same age.

10:10 pm

good for you for rescuing both of them

10:13 pm

Love them!

10:13 pm

and I'll bet the feeling is mutual

10:17 pm

judging by the amount of loving i get and the dog flesh on my bed at night (hmmmmm total poundage must be 150) i guess so :) You have a dog?

10:18 pm

10:38 pm

the 4/9 is what your lawn is when you cut it

10:38 pm

entomology is the study of insects

Did you make it?

10:41 pm

Do you think if you got a quilt with say snow people, or say generic rabbits or bears...you would still want to use it for a nursery even if it wasnt perfectly themed?

10:41 pm

of course, red!!!!

I would it is cute and thoughful

10:41 pm

I wouldn't even hesitate!

10:42 pm

Oh COngratulations to Oragami!!!!!

I would rather use a quilt made and shared with love regardless of season

10:42 pm

Thanks guys!

10:42 pm

(sorry to say I don't know what dept insects would be in...I assume one of the sciences...but which one?)

I want to get started and you know how people change their minds about nursery things...

Yah Origami

10:42 pm

some people hang them on the wall too

10:42 pm

Nighty night

ICK I have so much to make

I think I might go for regular brown bunnies...

Good night origami.

10:43 pm

good night ori nice talking to you

Nice to see all these evening ppl, I am so rarly on at this time!

10:44 pm

nite nite origami

And can someone tell me how much icing needed for a 25cm cake (that fondu stuff)

10:44 pm

fondu? or fondant?

SO even if it isn't "quite the pattern" of the nursery, I guess it will be appreciated?

10:44 pm

is it a sheet cake or a layer cake?

I have no idea herin! I am a terrible baker!

Fondant

10:44 pm

first baby red?

10:44 pm

most definitely, red ;)

10:45 pm

I've played with fondant, but have never made it from scratch...

It will be sheet cake turned into a two tier thing

10:45 pm

for a party?

Not making the fondant from scratch it is in a packet.

FOr a 50th. I have free rein

her first, and she has been trying for a while, so knowing her the nursery will be quite a project...

10:46 pm

* sigh of relief * herin...much easier ;)

I am not that mental

10:46 pm

that's nice herin you're such a good egg

fondant is sometimes hard towork with!

Pini, are things calmer now that graduation has occurred?

I am making a two tired cake maybe dyed red IF the icing holds it and it doesn't look nasty. Then gold ribbon around it and the coloured hearts on the top

10:47 pm

most definitely, red!!! I even get to start my 4-day summer weeks! :)

10:48 pm

herin...I changed my icon to show the cake I made for my g'son's birthday last year (fondant icing)

10:48 pm

that's very cool pini very much a boy cake

How much icing did you need for the top?

4 day summer weeks!

Woot for 4 day summers

10:48 pm

Well, it's a 6" cake...

10:49 pm

...single layer...

10:49 pm

...one box was way more than enough!

10:49 pm

pini did you get him the race car to go with it?

http://tinyurl.com/3fjx9gw I got these little things and some guylian chocolates going to play with it

herin how is your job?

10:49 pm

uh, nope...but he did get a riding truck! :)

10:50 pm

who is having their 50th herin?

10:50 pm

those are cute, herin...will work nicely

10:50 pm

what kind of food coloring are you going to use, herin?

6inch um this cake is at least 9.5ish'' on the top and 10ish on the top

My best friend that I met at tafe

10:51 pm

I'm confident one box will still work, herin...trust me, I had plenty left over!

10:51 pm

will it be a surprise?

Just standard evil pillar-box red and a dash of raspberry essence. IF that doesn't work raspberry.

10:51 pm

can I have some help w/the fo5 pls

Box what size box? And no she knows that I am making the cake.

10:52 pm

sue...think portFO***

10:52 pm

Let me see if I have one in the other room...hold on.

sue, you put papers in a Fo*** go up...

10:52 pm

lol pini I was just going to say that

She knows that I am making the cake the decoration bit and type is a suprise

10:53 pm

ty all

10:53 pm

you're a great friend

That and I am making sweet chilli tomato sauce, sausage rolls and quiche (veggie no rennet in the cheese)

10:54 pm

nope...don't have a fondant mix, but had buttercream...I'll find it online and let you know ;)

mmmm Buttercream

10:54 pm

so you're doing the whole party

Close to. Not as big as the one I did for my b.f one year

10:55 pm

that is fireworks for me

10:55 pm

anyone need any clues?

10:55 pm

Yay sue !!

Yah Sue

10:55 pm

wtg sue!

10:55 pm

fondant package contains 5lb/2.27kg

10:55 pm

ty

10:55 pm

does that help, herin?

10:56 pm

oh my that is a lot

10:56 pm

night all

10:56 pm

good night sue

10:56 pm

night, sue! :)

10:56 pm

that's one box, west!

10:56 pm

and fondant weighs more than regular icing

10:57 pm

I would never attempt anything like that have absolutely no artistic talent

Crap that is a lot more than I have

10:58 pm

it's rather like playing with play-do

10:58 pm

that I could do lol

West it isn't artistic. You get the stuff and roll it out like you would with pastry

10:58 pm

let me check something

10:59 pm

well that's if I rolled out pastry

But instead of flour you use icing sugar. I helped someone out at the store last night with that problem.

10:59 pm

Here's the description: WILTON- Ready-To-Use Rolled Fondant. No mixing necessary this Fondant is ready to roll and shape! Pure white covers cakes with a perfectly smooth iced surface. Fondant is easy to shape into beautiful borders; flowers and decorations. This package contains 5lb/2.27kg and covers a 2-layer 6in; 8in and 10in round tier cake plus decorations. Certified Kosher. Imported. ...I'm looking to see if there's a smaller box...

Grin West. You remind me of when I made damper on the weekend and took it to Tafe. I got asked ''YOU make bread''

11:00 pm

I might even be able to do that

O pink that is more than plenty as it is two layered

11:01 pm

you cook all the time herin and quite well too

11:01 pm

thought it might be

11:01 pm

can this be tinted ?

11:02 pm

here's the desciption for a smaller box: No mixing necessary--ready to roll and shape! Pure white covers cakes with a perfectly smooth iced surface. Easy to shape into beautiful borders, flowers and decorations. 24 oz. (1 1/2 lb.) package covers an 8 in. 2-layer cake plus decorations.

11:02 pm

most definitely, west...using a gel-style food coloring

11:02 pm

(not the liquid kind)

I am thinking that it should stretch out

Gel style food colouring DOH didn't think of that. I have used liquid in the past.

11:03 pm

(I think the smaller will work for what you're doing, herin) - alot less than 5lbs!

11:03 pm

gel-style gives you a much truer color

11:03 pm

be sure to post a picture of the cake when it's done herin

11:04 pm

definitely...looking forward to seeing the finished product!

I will put up pics.

11:04 pm

it's going to be beautiful

I hope so.

Pressure is on when you know her WHOLE family will see it

11:06 pm

I have faith in you, herin

Awww Thanks. Help with that stupid H please

11:07 pm

ha double consonant and little alien

11:07 pm

ha + dbl ph + ** al (everyone else)

11:07 pm

and yes it is a stupid H

11:08 pm

agreed

That is SO not a word

11:08 pm

no kidding!

And I was looking at more words too

11:09 pm

don't know what I'd do without morewords

Oooh I am sooo excited.

look at this!

i must say most of my wins take my by surprise there, as i glance at the scores, assume the lowest is mine and play appropriately aggressively.

I actually feel ''safe'' enough to let the light in from the outside today

I actually feel ''safe'' enough to let the light in from the outside today

11:19 pm

11:19 pm

that's a good start infern!

11:19 pm

fi4 and drum corps

OK that was spaz of Babble

11:19 pm

that good to hear, herin

11:19 pm

that's not the first seain

It is nice outside. We have these wonderful black thin curtains that let in the light but not too much

11:20 pm

it's medieval land

11:20 pm

Thanks, dc, I have that as fi4-10 the 2nd, need the 1st.

11:20 pm

with dom

11:20 pm

the first is an anagram of the second

11:21 pm

ty, west

I don't think Safe is the right word but I can't think of another word

11:21 pm

yw seain

11:21 pm

today is a lovely day, only about 10 C when I went out at 11.30am, but has improved!!

11:21 pm

Ah, yes. Gotcha now. Thanks Pini.

11:22 pm

i sit in the sun for about 20 minutes a day infern... helps with my mood and vitamin D intake

11:22 pm

good idea mrp are you recuperating nicely?

11:22 pm

oooh, peach is here!! hello! :)

11:22 pm

Thanks so muchl, Westford. That was the last one. See y'all at the flip.

AND Mr Pres I am glad you haven't floated away

11:23 pm

Yay peach !!

11:23 pm

Hi there, Mrp.

11:23 pm

congrats, peach

11:23 pm

today is a teary day... just not coping with my stalker and don't want to see him... so am going back to court to get a different injunction

11:23 pm

infern, I look 4 months pregnant! may as well float away!! Luv ya

11:23 pm

oh, that's rough and unfortunate that you need a stronger injunction/peace bond

11:24 pm

might as well do dishes

11:24 pm

he is such a f*&%$#$ p#$%& for putting me through all this

11:24 pm

yes he is!

I meant with the rain dear

11:25 pm

hey west...finally found it...but at OSU (http://entomology.oregonstate.edu/)

AND what the hell is this guys problem Mr Pres? Can't the police arrest him or something

11:26 pm

no infern... he can stand infront of my house and put a lawn chair up and sit there for days... staring at me, and they can't do anything

Nerf gun him use him as target practic

11:27 pm

he is obsessed in a bad way, one that won't end well for me or my family, and the cops are unable to do anything about him

11:27 pm

you can't get a restraining order that prevents him from being within, say, 500 feet?

11:28 pm

you can't get him for 'stalking'?

11:28 pm

pini, he got that out against ME!! for no reason... he is taking me to court so he can torture me some more

11:28 pm

oy!

11:28 pm

I have all the evidence... and mediation will just give him another reason to be close to me

The courts can impose restrictions but are hesitant to do so at the loss of liberty of the stalker. Go figure

11:29 pm

no pini, he does it very sneakily, but he did screw up, so I now can get a higher injunction against him rather than a PVO

11:30 pm

wow

11:30 pm

indeed, and he has an alcohol license, his livelihood, so he is making me out to be the issue to keep him from being convicted

11:31 pm

and his 'mob, goon, slimey' friends are backing him up... one of them which I had major issue with last year in August.

11:32 pm

crap!

11:32 pm

I caught them at 3am in the morning, 2 weeks before my car explosion, casing out my house... was terrified

11:32 pm

¡ay dios mío!

11:32 pm

do you video tape him/them stalking you/your home/family?

11:33 pm

but I can't back down, or I die, mentally. He can't get to me in a public forum or I lose everything in credibility

My ex did the same thing to me. I would get phone calls on special anniversary dates, when I saw her (his new wife) siblings, take out tacky ''I love you insert nickname here'' announcements on Valentines day. The worst was a very violent voice mail message on my mobile phone when they moved house and thought I didn't have sense to record it.The funny thing was he thought he was untouchable. Went to the police they said it was messed up took him to court and was asked if we should have a ''conference''' before hand which I refused as he was a tool. He left me alone after that.

11:34 pm

I asked to have cameras put up, and they guy I asked is a good friend... he told me that 'stalker' approached him only a few days before to try and get cameras up on his properties, to 'catch me out'.... talk about setting me up!!

11:34 pm

it would be easy to put on a wig and dress like me... I know what he is capable.

Honestly some people are just too stupid and shouldn't be allowed to live or breed

11:35 pm

* sigh *

11:35 pm

It's amazing what some people will stoop to

11:35 pm

he refused to put up cameras for him, or course, and couldn't believe the accusations he was spouting... he said it was like he was possessed as he talked about me

11:35 pm

brb - koda moment

11:35 pm

amazing.

11:36 pm

it really is awful what you're going through with it all.

I heart my Uncle for stitching this guy up though ''Accidently'' of course

11:36 pm

exactly infern! a 'conference'?? are they friggin kidding me?? no way!!

11:36 pm

Hi, all...Goodness, mrp, sounds terrible!

11:37 pm

to court I go, with all my evidence and people backing me up with all the emails and shite he has been sending/talking around... the police have it all and the courts will have it on Monday

11:38 pm

funny you say that infern... the guy I went to for the cameras said that cause the police do nothing, he will get the job done 'another way'... his wife has been stalked and terrified too, and the courts did sweet FA

I mean really if you had a relationship with a person and went your separate ways and then started being a burke why would you even want to bother talking to them in court. Same really for random nut job. They are harrasing you what makes you think that sitting down and having a ''civilized conversation'' is going to achieve

Hi Jellen

11:38 pm

hi jellen! **hugs** sorry you came into this convo, but is helping me enormously to vent... at least I have stopped crying and shaking

11:38 pm

evening, jellen

I am also contemplating sending my ex a message asking him why he did the things he did to me

11:40 pm

i am so glad you guys are here... I feel like I am sitting at a big beautiful rectangular table with a glass of grape juice and having a good chat with my babble friends... gets the cobwebs out of the brain and helps me through. Thank you all **hugs & kisses**

but then I think you can't get sense out of an idiot so why try

11:40 pm

don't infern, let him sit in his own sick

No this is the other one not the mental case. Karma has had their way with him his kids look like they fell out of the ugly tree and hit ever branch on the way down and she is so pathetic and insecure that she dyed her hair the same colour as the kids to make people at least think that she is their mother

Oooo And so cute. Last night a lady said to himself ''O thank you your husband was just helping me pick stuff up''

anyone still here?

11:49 pm

I am listening

11:49 pm

and chatting with lickety and trying to organise this arvo cause there is a storm coming

I am stuck with 11 left. This grid is mean. Mr Pres is that your kitty?

11:49 pm

kids will need picking up no doubt, so if I disappear, it is because it started hailing

11:50 pm

yes, my lia.... she died 22 Nov 2005... accidentally by the vet

You guys have really copped bad weather. We still have sun shine and a misserable excuse for rain this am

11:51 pm

well, all going well, I will have to ref an hour and half game tomorrow with the geriatrics and then am 4th official (sit on my arse) for the second game

Best luck

11:52 pm

then I get to ref my old club... see the dickwads that stabbed me in the back on the sidelines, and they can't say a word to me cause I am first official

11:53 pm

luv my black and whites!!

11:53 pm

oooh, nearly flip time! back soon... need a snack to take some meds

11:53 pm

see you all at flip!! **hugs**

See you all later
