wtg flosey -- nice eagle

12:13 am

jillibus - I will be able to make you laugh. I looked at the picture on your profile and I thought that I had a bug on my computer screen - I tried to wipe it off. Of course, half of it is because I think that I discovered that my cat has fleas tonight

12:14 am

haha poey! I hope you read the writeup -- also good for a laugh

12:15 am

*joey -- not poey! (where did that come from?)

12:15 am

thanks jilli, and yours, good writeup

12:16 am

hi 7

12:16 am

flosey, I'll never forget seeing that tease for the first time when I went on a trip here to Carmanagh Isle.

12:16 am

I kindof like the poey, I have probably been called worse than that over the years. and I did read the write up quite good and you are right - funny

NBT, NBS :) I thought I had typed that 8 early , must'v misspelled.

12:28 am

12:28 am

never likd that subject at school, but love it now for nbs

12:51 am

and thanks to dart too for the st7

12:53 am

grrr -- French for black is ok, but french for evening isn't

12:56 am

the French for black refers to a kind of novel writing -- whodunits...

12:57 am

I know, erda, but...

12:57 am

the french for three is here too

12:58 am

THAT one makes no sense...

12:58 am

isn't that latin based??

12:59 am

The Latin three is tres

hmmm, so enable is being discriminating

and sernot should be a word!! I here it all the time!!

"Mum, it is sernot my fault!"

hear even

1:04 am

I'm off into the arms of Somnus -- good night all

This is clearly going to be a long grid for me. I'm not even up to 100 yet.

morning all...

1:37 am

hello Fish

1:42 am

any more clues needed?

Eventually, but I'm still at 68 left and haven't gone to Lickety so I don't know what I need. Thanks for asking though.

Oh wait: I never did find that ao 6. Clue, please?

1:43 am

16 left and off to dinner! bye all :)

2:49 am

good morning everybody

2:57 am

good morning all, nice sized grid today. Is it fun?

2:57 am

{{sprite}}

2:57 am

quick 60 but don't know the future

2:58 am

hey rubyfoo :)

2:59 am

I don't think I even KNOW 13 J words, lol.

3:00 am

it's like I tried to play a game of scrabble in French and didn't know ANY k words except kiwi

3:00 am

oh help, I suck at K words in english... can't imagine how bad I would be in french!

3:01 am

there just aren't any. I even looked in my small English-French dictionary

3:02 am

my french wouldn't be nearly good enough to play scrabble at all. School french, that is all I have, and it would take some time to dig it up :)

3:03 am

I have a combination of school French plus 13+ years of having to speak it, but it's not the same as playing scrabble!

3:03 am

the good news is that I understand everything

3:04 am

lol no it isn't, I can imagine that even for you it would be tough. But you did it!

3:04 am

is it raining there? We are finally having a long, heavy rain, much-needed

3:04 am

same here, heavy rain and wind.

3:04 am

it is a pleasure after two very hot days

3:04 am

the garden was very thirsty

3:05 am

I have more than 20 different things in flower and the tomatoes are getting ripe

3:05 am

I don't mind too much either. But here they say it will be lilke this all week, and I would rather have a bit of sun now and then.

3:06 am

oh wow, sounds so good, rubyfoo. I haven't done anything in my garden this year. But still some flowers come out now... very pretty.

3:07 am

hey... found a valid wine. I'd have thought it would be capitalised and hence not valid, but it is.

3:07 am

there are 8 different roses, hibiscus, phlox, spirea, buddleia, pellargonium, "star grass", loosestrife, hostas, hydrangeas, perovskia, catmint

3:07 am

red or white? hahah

3:08 am

ha, Spanish red

3:08 am

yep :)

3:08 am

but Spanish cat isn't in enable.....

3:09 am

hm... in my garden I see 3 kinds of yellow flowers, one tiny tiny red flower, one white flower with bells, and a couple of flowers in yellow/brown/ivory.

3:10 am

since this is my first garden, I was very careful when I planned it, but still made many mistakes

3:12 am

maybe if I will feel better, I will work on the garden next year, try for veggies and herbs again.

3:13 am

I have better luck with fruit than veggies, except for tomatoes

3:14 am

I might try for some fruit, something that should do well in our climate... apples maybe?

3:14 am

but, don't forget, I have a helper/shlepper! I couldn't do it alone, that's for sure, would have to double up my pain killers

3:14 am

plums, cherries?

3:15 am

currants, blackberries?

3:15 am

but your garden is very much bigger than ours. Ours is maybe... 8x4m I think. And we have a shed, so it is even less.

3:16 am

hm yeah, could try! Plums would be great, I love plums.

3:16 am

and they are eally easy to make into jam, unlike currant which are a lot of work but worth it, come January

3:17 am

am thinking... what are currants? I seem to remember they are dried grapes, but I bet I am wrong.

3:18 am

I am furtunate as the garden is very large and in several sections: two bordures, many trees (planted as we were moving in because there was nothing there), a little "japanese garden" in front of the house, a "wedding bouquet" garden next to the steps down from the street

3:19 am

red currants are small, seedy, sour fruit and black currants, which I don't like but had planted, are cassis

3:19 am

sorry for the typos

3:19 am

raisins are dried grapes

3:19 am

oh! Now I know, they are nice. Very sour, but nice.

3:20 am

black currants make the best jam though Ruby. Hello to you both

3:20 am

and they make wonderful jelly

3:20 am

hi lyn :) xxx

3:20 am

{{lynxx}}

3:21 am

I've tried making cassis liqueur but it was not successful. I make blackberry liqueur, though, which is very nice

3:21 am

hello sprite: currants are edible fruit of the ribes family (black, red, white) usually cooked from raw. There are also dried currants used for baking which are dried small dark grapes (named from Corinth).

3:21 am

the cassis have so much natural pectin that the liqueur had to be eaten with a spoon

3:22 am

hi scouser, thank you! Those from Corinth, there was my confusion.

3:22 am

hello scouser! I always think of you when I see a mushroom (your "hat)description, much like mine)

3:22 am

a.k.a. cassis jam/jelly!

3:22 am

I would like to grow them and then make jelly and liqueur from them.And jam.

3:23 am

and your children could do the picking.....

3:23 am

Hi ruby. I used to love cassis in Kir. However, no alcohol now... sad. I once accidentally drank a large mouthful of Vedrenne cassis neat.... two litres of water later I had stopped gasping!

3:23 am

lol scouser

3:24 am

In Germany the red currants are known as Johannesbeeren because they should be ripe by mid-summer St John's day.

3:24 am

hahah, scouser, that's enough to make anybody give up alcohol

3:24 am

brb

3:25 am

here as well, Scouser. And the Corinth dried grapes are called krenten, while the others are called rozijnen.

3:26 am

waiting for husband to arrive with groceries

3:27 am

this grid has 100 words and not one more.

3:28 am

here they are ripe in June

3:28 am

if I have the energy, I will plant some berries next year, and come back to you all for recipes :)

3:28 am

no, sprite, 95!

3:29 am

continuing on liqueurs: my parents used to make sloe gin (the sloe is the fruit of a thorny plum-type bush in the hedgerows, not picked until after the first frost. Each small fruit (about size of large grape) has to be pierced with a sharp pin before being put whole in the bottle with the gin. Goes beautiful pink colour after draining. Lovely.

3:29 am

oh sounds good!

3:29 am

I never knew how they made sloe gin, but it's delish

3:30 am

It evidently cannot be mechanised - you can't do it if you let the pulp of the fruit loose in the gin.

3:31 am

fascinating Scouser. How many sloes are put in each bottle?

3:31 am

Long may the sloe continue though - it has the beautiful white froth of flowers in the early spring.

3:31 am

lovely image

3:31 am

our quince has beautiful flowers, but most of the time, the quince rot and fall off

3:31 am

hundred probably to a standard gin bottle. Depends on fruit size of course

3:32 am

I need to find the translation

3:32 am

I love quince - they smell just gorgeous. Even the decorative non-edible ones. If it is the edible variety try getting them before they rot.

3:33 am

sleedoorn!

3:33 am

I love quince jelly, but it's too hard to make. When I have non-rotten ones, I keep a bowl of them in the kitchen, just for the wonderful scent

3:34 am

and I did a series of drawings of quince which my son has, I think they are someplace in my FB site

3:35 am

would love to see them here Ruby

3:35 am

I seem to remember my mother cooking quince slices in orange juice (and probably tons of sugar). However I don't know anyone with an edible cydonia plant. I won't try it with the decorative one.

3:35 am

I will see if I can locate them; my son put them in

3:35 am

aaah, husband! see you in a bit

3:36 am

tataa ruby

3:36 am

My fav pie when I was little was apple and quince

3:36 am

bye rubyfoo

3:37 am

Hi lynxx

3:37 am

My swiss cousin gave me quince jelly but it was obviously made with elderly quinces - more like medlar jam (ugh)

3:38 am

Hi lynxx what time of day is it where you are?

3:39 am

6.40pm Wednesday

3:39 am

you are 8 hours ahead of me.

3:40 am

we have a well known cook here who has marketed quince jelly very successfully

3:41 am

Ta - I always have difficulty with the world time zones. It is British summer time here so it is 9.40 am Wednesday

3:42 am

one hour behind the netherlands and 9 hours behind lyn :)

3:43 am

I always remember it like this: Aussie starts the day, Europe follows, America is last

3:44 am

It is a lovely morning bright and clear. Time for the garden once again. Secateurs Ho! bye all PS I despair of such words as the second hi4/5 which should have an apostrophe. h** own

3:45 am

I think it is a southern drawl word. Have fun in the garden, scouser.

3:46 am

bye Scouser

3:46 am

Def says archaic English

3:47 am

anyway, it is a babblet... and I love the babblets.

3:57 am

fireflies. Got my second wind. Bye all, have a good day/evening.

3:58 am

Wow - congrats Sprite. Bye!

3:59 am

back

3:59 am

waving at scouser and sprite....

4:05 am

waving goodbye too - see you later Ruby

5:22 am

funny . . . I always thought quince jelly was a Louisiana specialty -- friends and relatives gave us many jars at Xmas over the years :-)

5:22 am

tasty AND pretty color

5:49 am

ok . . . well . . . bye

5:50 am

I'm all out of bran muffins here.

6:14 am

i had toaster struedals... sad..i know...but worked....

6:14 am

*Shocked look* Whatever does Kap eat for breakfast when there are no bran muffins?

I am trying to figure that out.

6:15 am

I used to love to bake bread and everything else, reason I put in granite counters. Husband won't eat anything "fattening"

It's a crisis.

6:16 am

i wish i had his self control ruby....

6:16 am

he is skinny as a stick

6:17 am

once again..i wish i had his self control

I wanna be skinny

6:17 am

I was thinking about you last night, while petting my Max and my Ruby

6:34 am

seaspray's beloved Max had to be put to sleep yesterday

6:34 am

and we were all commiserating and sad

6:34 am

6:34 am

6:35 am

I hope you have a lot of photos -- maybe a whole album devoted to Max

6:36 am

6:36 am

8:27 am

Not surprising, carlee. They're in deep doo-doo over the phone hacking scandal.

Clue for the se8 please?

8:27 am

i am waiting for the investigation to start here... with all the changes in the phone tapping laws due to homeland security...

8:27 am

spanish lady kenny

8:28 am

spanish lady kenny

8:28 am

*fingers crossed* maybe they will have to sell the WSJ to someone who wants it to be legit again!

Thanks jm

8:29 am

spanish miss kenny

8:29 am

okay i am here -- the irs dreamed up three more things for me to provide *sigh*

8:29 am

a friend of mine overseas was interviewed for an insert in WSJ

8:29 am

Phone tapping charges won't be laid in the states. It's the law that says they are allowed to phone tap - thank Bush et. al.

8:29 am

i wish i could get it when it comes out here..but is an insert only going into their east coast US edition

8:29 am

a friend of mine who has worked for wsj for years decided it was a good time to do an overseas assignment

8:29 am

Tabloid blather. One less of those in the world won't matter a whit.

8:30 am

journalists can't wire tap--just the government god

8:30 am

i agree but having the wsj back would be a good thing

8:32 am

Oh yeah.....

8:33 am

Clue for ir 7

8:33 am

One who steams clothing? Extension of the ir4.

8:34 am

Or conversely, one who works in the smelter.

8:36 am

*zips lips so wont start ranting about the destruction of the constitution* *pulls invisibility cloak on tighter and slinks out of chog* *poof*

8:36 am

one who uses words to mean the opposite of the literal meaning

8:37 am

oops...i think i started something again...

8:38 am

slinking out myself *poof*

8:38 am

11:18 am

crossy..i just took a pic with you in mind...i dont want to upload to fb and have yet to figure out how to transfer a file from phone to computer ...but when i doooooo

11:20 am

i have a mulberry tree in my backyard... i was outside in bare feet..i now really DOOOO have purple feet

11:24 am

Carlee, email it to yourself from your phone.

11:25 am

11:27 am

11:27 am

:)

11:29 am

<---Wants to make monkey/weasel jokes, but is refraining.

11:33 am

ugh sue..the smell is not going away....i cant handle the smell of my hands

11:35 am

hi 4/5, the second one, is such a BS word.

11:36 am

Hello everyone :)

11:37 am

Hi Sadie

11:39 am

Hi Molly, how you doing?

11:40 am

Not bad Sadie, and you?

11:41 am

just ducky thanks :)

11:42 am

hey, carlee, egg whites are supposed to take the sting out of hot pepper burns, maybe they will take out smells as well? Probably worth sacrificing an egg white for...

11:47 am

i dont know

11:47 am

am eating my lunch now...chili

11:48 am

i'll go scrub my bathroom with bleach...no gloves..that should take care of the stink

11:49 am

Good God woman, do you like destroying the skin on your hands?

Yogurt takes the sting out, too - I'd never tried it for the smell.

11:50 am

my hands stink of pot...

11:50 am

( i swear..my life is NEVER dull )

11:51 am

( USA leading France 1-0 at the half)

11:52 am

do you have anything made of silver? try rubbing your hands on that or try anything citrus.

11:52 am

i already tried lemon juice..and toothpaste...now i have minty lemon pot hands

11:53 am

actually, you need the oil of the citrus not the juice.

11:53 am

Um...your hands stink of pot???

11:53 am

i found a pot plant growing in my backyard...( yay..the joys of being a renter)

11:53 am

or soak in baking soda

11:54 am

Are you...uh...sure...um...it was from the previous owners?

11:54 am

oh man. my lunch today is SO TASTY!! leftover tuna burgers from last night.... YUM-O!

11:55 am

i have to clean my waashroom... i'll just bleach it down..

11:55 am

well//// its NOT from me...

11:55 am

Hint: You have a teenage son.

11:55 am

and my son is disgusted by anyone involved in drugs

11:56 am

his best friend got into drugs....they are no longer friends...

11:58 am

besides..it was coming up between cracks in concrete... i imagine previous owners had a party...roll your own... and had a pod/ seeds... pitched that out...and just landed on concrete..was coming up in a crack

11:58 am

its was hiding in "plain sight"

11:59 am

im sure theres some "pot in your crack" joke in there somewhere...

11:59 am

the owners are musicians....

11:59 am

( hahah....no play on my last name eh eva? )

12:00 pm

hah, i hadnt made that connection. i still think of you as your babblename. :)

12:00 pm

anyway...exciting day..purple feet and a pot plant... yippee...

12:02 pm

woot! got the 8

12:02 pm

i'll bet you're right about it sprouting from a seed, carlee

12:02 pm

and yay, play!

12:03 pm

thx sue - love when i get it w/o a clue

12:03 pm

it was tucked into a corner of the patio...got morning sun... run off from downspouts...and in a crack...if a kid was going to plant he'd plant it in the corner behind other plants..

12:06 pm

there...my own purple foot for an icon

12:06 pm

and what happened to lickety's clues?

12:07 pm

i missed the purple foot story... ?

12:07 pm

my icon is purple feet as my job used to be a made wine...

12:07 pm

ahh. quick story then. :)

12:08 pm

today i was outside in my garden...and i have a mulberry tree... i was out there with bare feet...

12:08 pm

so my feet really ARE purple

12:08 pm

hah

12:08 pm

i took a pic

12:09 pm

i refreshed + i see it now. still see your old icon if i click to enlarge...

12:09 pm

ok..i am going to go watch soccer..maybe grab a nap as i have been up since 3

12:09 pm

back later for last 35

12:10 pm

you have to refresh the profile too, eva

12:10 pm

enjoy

12:10 pm

and I don't know what's up with lickety, he was up earlier today

12:10 pm

there isnt a refresh button on the profile... :/

12:11 pm

if I click on the top margin I get some options which include reload (I am using chrome)

12:12 pm

not in FF or IE...

12:13 pm

I'm using Chrome and I don't see that either.

12:18 pm

right click

12:19 pm

(sorry, real life intruded for a few minutes)

12:30 pm

Hi All

12:31 pm

Molly if you use Chrome you have to go to settings to put a refresh button on the page.

12:31 pm

hi, hego!

12:31 pm

Don't ask me how, I just stumbled on it one day.

12:32 pm

Hi Sue.

12:33 pm

I still claim that if I click on someone's profile, I can then right-click on the top margin of it and a menu will open up with "reload" as an option.

12:33 pm

Which I also found by accident :-)

12:33 pm

cool!

12:33 pm

I do all my computer learning by accident

12:34 pm

me too, pretty much (we just went to a new html server/editor at work and I refused to be trained on it - would much rather learn on my own)

12:35 pm

monkeying!!!

12:36 pm

A Babble skill. :)

12:41 pm

too bad we can't reuse letters. dryly would be a nice word :-)

12:41 pm

no can do

12:46 pm

and now before i head to work,i give you crossy,s tidbit of the day!

12:47 pm

*eagerly awaits tidbit*

12:47 pm

One of the first known contraceptives was crocodile dung, used by Egyptians.

12:47 pm

YAY!

12:47 pm

tc and happy babbling..poink!

12:47 pm

How?

12:47 pm

I knew that but am not sure I wanted to remember it.

1:05 pm

Some things are better off not remembered. That would be one of them.

1:05 pm

yup!

1:17 pm

is it sad that i am still in lunch ecstasy?

1:17 pm

NO, it's great.

1:18 pm

i just told hubby that i plan on whipping up a much larger batch of these tuna burgers so i can keep em in the freezer. then i can just pull out one or two at a moments notice. they are so weight watchers friendly that i got to treat myself to chocolate pudding for dessert!

1:19 pm

YAY! Eva.

1:19 pm

share tuna burger recipe please eva

1:28 pm

wildcat: http://tinyurl.com/5urru99

1:28 pm

so cheap, simple, and easy to make. super tasty, and weight watchers friendly!

1:46 pm

Something that you keep in the freezer then grab and go is very user friendly.

1:48 pm

molly, i made them last night + from start to finish, it only took about 10-15 minutes. so even "fresh" it wasnt so bad!

1:50 pm

Ah, pouring rain. Just what my artificial plants needed. They are all outside getting a bath.

1:51 pm

and a good bath at that.

1:51 pm

that might be just the thing i need to push me into deciding NOT to go to my running class tonight. i still havent unpacked from the beach, and i leave for the next beach in just over a week!

1:51 pm

really? I hope it comes to dupont circle!

1:51 pm

hi all

1:52 pm

hi JMC

1:52 pm

From the weather map, it looks like it will JMC.

1:53 pm

Eva, sweetly promise that you will briskly walk at the beach and skip it.

1:53 pm

yay!

1:54 pm

my replacement brings her dog to work and the thunder was making him bark :-(

1:54 pm

i DID get in one run when i was at the beach last week. i was aiming for 2, but oh well. but technically, we only had one class that week, so i didnt really miss anything. ;)

1:54 pm

My son called me Monday night and invited me down to Duck for a few days, but it just wasn't in the cards for me right now.

1:54 pm

Are you at the new job?

1:54 pm

Duck?

1:54 pm

JMC

1:54 pm

no i have a replacement here at my old job and i am teaching her

1:54 pm

Outer Banks, JMC. Near Nagshead I think.

1:54 pm

thats a shame, molly. we will be quite near duck.

1:55 pm

she just took her dog out for a walk

1:55 pm

oh ty molly

1:55 pm

anywho, meeting time for me.

1:55 pm

unfortunately i do not yet have a new job

1:55 pm

Still at the teaching thing, then.

1:55 pm

bye eva and i have to go too because the dog is back *lick lick lick*

1:55 pm

Have a nice nap Eva.

1:56 pm

You will, I'm sure, Je.

1:56 pm

Bye Guys.

2:02 pm

Ah, thanks hego!

2:02 pm

2:02 pm

2:02 pm

Si!

2:03 pm

Ah, Welki, it's still a vacation.

2:03 pm

:-) Jellen

2:04 pm

2:04 pm

Any time by the lake is good time.

2:04 pm

Poor Welki. :-(

2:05 pm

Should have come to the Jersey Shore.

2:05 pm

true, molly, but would be nice to be able to put your feet in without worrying about toxins. this bloom happens every now and again, but this one's pretty bad

2:06 pm

you're right, hego ... a little off shore fishing :)

2:06 pm

and pretty good weather.

2:06 pm

(or back up to north part of the state, my ol' stompin' grounds .. trout streams up in sussex county)

2:08 pm

yikes! That's a lot of tee's!

2:10 pm

They are not too bad, hego...just finished them...

2:10 pm

2:10 pm

Ooh, ooh, Renoir!

2:11 pm

2:23 pm

All the Babble winos will probably be the only ones who get ri5/20 without help.

2:24 pm

One of my favorites. :-9

2:27 pm

Almost there, puff puff....

2:30 pm

t's done!

2:38 pm

thx to molly for the ri5/20 - must be a wino...

2:38 pm

Need the last re5/10 pls.

2:39 pm

And I know it's something I should see, but can't.

2:39 pm

I only have one re5/10, hego, tree sap

2:40 pm

That's it!!!! ty!

2:40 pm

yw :-)

2:40 pm

I hate when that happens!

2:40 pm

(I started writing lectures for fall and am desperately trying to find something else to do)

2:41 pm

good luck

2:42 pm

tires me out very quickly

2:42 pm

on the other hand I now understand right ascension

2:43 pm

Done!

2:43 pm

Now what's right ascension?

2:43 pm

yay, hego!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2:44 pm

it's like longitude except on the sky

2:44 pm

ah! astronomy?

2:45 pm

yes, I am teaching a junior-level astronomy course this fall (college junior, that is)

2:45 pm

Why don't know what to do?

2:46 pm

I've taught the freshman survey course before but not one at this level

2:46 pm

so lots to learn for me (my field is physics, not astronomy)

2:46 pm

I see

2:46 pm

I'm a life science person, myself.

6:02 pm

Hooray for Letsplay!

6:03 pm

tyty! my monkeys got the last one!

6:04 pm

peri..this is kinda a "kitchen curry" not a formal curry..this is kinda of the easts version of our "hash" ground beef, chopped potatoes and onion fried up with some curry powder..then in a pot you do basmati rice with vermicelli noodles in chicken broth ( a couple boulian cubes )...once rice is done and potatots are tender...you mix it together....and let sit fo about 20 mins... serve with yoghurt....

6:05 pm

sounds good carlee

6:05 pm

its true ME curry....from the kitchen...one of those things u learn in a middle easter kitchen..not a restaurant food stuff

6:06 pm

( its cheap too..u only use 2 or 3 potatoes..and maybe 1/6 pound of ground beef will serve 4 or 5 people with a salad on side

6:07 pm

wow, i just found a really wrapped around word!

6:07 pm

Potatoes, rice and noodles all in the same dish? What a carb extravaganza.

6:08 pm

yeap... its a traditional iraqi dish...alot of iraqis..dont have $....its peasant food

6:08 pm

hey all! just getting in. down to 153. migraine intact, my sanity less-so. Any ideas other than taking naps (2 hours mid-day today), excedrin, avoiding computers/reading.... ??? Lethargy is the name of the game today.

6:08 pm

( a good meal stretcher )

6:09 pm

sorry about the migrain, stiddy, would you like me to send you some Reiki, it will help with the pain

6:10 pm

hi Stid - perhaps not the best grid for a headache

6:10 pm

( also in iraqi culture... u never turn away a guest...so you have your fresh foods....and u are sitting down withyour family of 4..and suddenly you have 4 extras for dinner..you whip this up...add some bread...and some yoghurt...you can suddenly stetch the meal out for 8

6:10 pm

peri, that would be lovely. thanks. the pain is marginal, but it's still there and I am so tired. (((hugs)))

6:10 pm

((hugs and choclits for stiddy ))

Oh my....if you think dogs are icky just for being dogs, you should meet my St. Bernard. Slobber and all !!!

bye lynxxx

6:30 pm

i dont mind slobber....its the diving into kitty litter..and chewing on dead birds..and finding what he can int he washroom garbage....that is gross

I LOVE the look of a St.Bernard but i can NOT handle slobber... *gag* sorry hshliz

6:31 pm

i love newfies too

6:31 pm

some strains of the breed don't slobber too bad. Mines one of those. He does slobber, but it's the shedding that gets me !! Kitty litter and garbage cans are kept behind doors he cant get thru

These are just a few of the reasons I don't have pets.

6:45 pm

we wanted to put in a patio ..simple little project..ha!!

7:04 pm

it never is west

7:05 pm

had to grade away from the house..then the rest of the yard had to be graded..found lots of roots and a drain that goes down about 15 feet

7:06 pm

last thing there were guys climbing all over the roof to replace drain pipes and yikes

7:06 pm

and the wheel on the barrow blew up

7:06 pm

very hot today

7:08 pm

had to dig down about a foot and then they'll replace what they took out with new dirt and gravel

7:08 pm

ok..one stinking word left...

7:08 pm

plus they didn't strike oil

7:08 pm

damn..now THAT sucks

7:08 pm

We once thought we would reroof the house. That was the year we single handedly pulled the U.S. out of a minor recession. Our construction costs double the value of the house (before the current really big recession.)

You wouldn't even want to burn the evidence, carlee. Such a distinctive smell.

7:16 pm

good job done wild

7:17 pm

I'm so glad it's done. It had to have been over 120 degrees up there

7:26 pm

Wild, when I was little my dad had a hughe garden every year.....and in this garden were several very tall plants that spiders made their homes in....I would sneak the salt shaker out and go sit in the garden and eat tomatoes with salt....carefully avoiding daddy's Spider Plants. .....I was 38 years old when we moved to Georgia and I saw your plant on TV....OMG it was Daddy's Spider plants...and there I sat eating a darned tomato. Daddy didn't smoke but he used tobacco in the yuckiest form....chewing.

7:27 pm

what a great story ga

7:27 pm

gotta go back to packing and sorting. hagn/day e1

7:28 pm

wildcat, they ARE amazing. i seriously want to go make some more right now! hehe

7:30 pm

Peach, my Mom used to sneak out to the garden with the sugar bowl and eat tomatoes. : )

7:31 pm

Eva, I swear, Weight Watchers needs to hire you as a spokesperson.

7:32 pm

molly, ive gotta say, the last few days, i have really enjoyed eating on plan -- i had some amazingly tasty meals yesterday, and i STILL have to have some girl scout cookies before bed so i could finish of my daily points!

7:32 pm

i have my weigh-in tomorrow, so we shall see if my eating has been good or bad...heh

7:33 pm

had BBQ chicken with some of the homemade slaw tonight. super-yum. had so many points left that hubby took me out for yogiberry!

7:34 pm

I have heard nothing but good things about the Weight Watchers plan Eva. I'm glad it's working so well for you.

7:35 pm

i missed my weigh-in last week since i was on vacation. technically, i could go somewhere else to weigh in, but the only day i had available was yesterday, so i figured i would just wait til my meeting tomorrow. hopefully it has worked for me!

7:36 pm

Seems like your mom and I had similar childhoods.

7:37 pm

Molly.

Peach, good childhood memories are treasures in the treasure box.

::whispers soothingly:: evening, stid

7:48 pm

7:48 pm

thanks EvaN

7:49 pm

ooh! stidM and stidG!

7:50 pm

8 will be fine. See you there.

7:51 pm

We occasionally double team. I could surely use mama's Babble prowess.

7:51 pm

thanks, Mother! I am really looking forward to tomorrow. :-D

7:52 pm

im assuming it isnt the mechanics you are looking forward to, stidM?

7:52 pm

Hello Babblers

7:52 pm

hello wht!

7:53 pm

LOL no, EvaN, Mother and I have "plans" for tomorrow. Our weekly get-together.

7:53 pm

Hi there, wht.

7:53 pm

No, Eva, we are wandering up to IKEA and spending money on a new set of dishes for our house. Ours are so chipped and faded we are looking more like newly weds than established folks.

7:54 pm

boy-oh-boy are they established! they have been married for ****** years!!!!!

hey

7:54 pm

hey milli

7:55 pm

hello milli

7:56 pm

our dishes were some of the most favorite stuff we got for our wedding. :)

7:58 pm

We are still using the same white Correlle dishes from before we were married, and this year was our 30th anniversary.

Evening.

7:58 pm

Hi Red

7:58 pm

hey red!

I have my parents Wedding era dishes. Mikasa. yellow.

7:59 pm

Can I get a clue for the first ne6?

8:00 pm

With so many moves and the length of time, we have a couple of dishes from our original Noritake set, a few pieces from my Mother and Grandmother, and the Corelle set. We also got a set of English Spode years ago but that is a really long story.

wht, it is ne plus an re4....lack of good clue, sorry.

8:01 pm

back again

8:01 pm

LOVE the spode.... I have Granny's Noritake, and we have some plain white corelle we bought a few years ago that I will replace at some point --

8:01 pm

hey carlee

8:01 pm

ne + horse guides without the n

8:01 pm

isn't that sort of a dryad, red?

8:02 pm

i have plain white presidents stoneware

8:02 pm

hm. no, a type of aquatic worm.

8:02 pm

presidents choice

any of yall got the game smackdown vs raw 2011

8:02 pm

that's a store brand, carlee?

8:02 pm

Stid, I am friendly with the Dryads. I will make sure they don't take offense at that. : P

I dont know.

Sadly, I am out of the word loop.

8:03 pm

thanks molly!

8:03 pm

ty red, molly and stid.

8:03 pm

yeap..local grocery store... but i like it..it is heavy...slick in design... microwave safe..and best of all cheap tp replace should it get broken

the other ne 6 is ne**** the long eared donkey...

8:03 pm

That reminds me, I need to go fill up the faerie pond on the patio.

I admit, i didslike heavy stoneware.

8:04 pm

Dozens of people are now trying "neeyore"

8:04 pm

its just white...

8:04 pm

cheeeeep is why we got the corelle (local outlet store) but I am ready for a change soon. Would like something a little dressier for suppers, now that I am going to be home to cook again.

8:04 pm

My mother used to have some stoneware --very popular in the 80s. But so heavy. I like more delicate things, myself.

I like the corelle that I have (In addition to the other stuff, but I HATE how it shatters....unbreakable, my Rear.

8:05 pm

Heck, we've eaten out of mugs when need be. Maybe I'm getting too house proud.

8:05 pm

white goes with everything, right carlee? LOL and it's easy to see if it's clean.

8:05 pm

i can dress up with colourful charger plates ... and i have had the corelle stuff...and i didnt like it...

8:05 pm

i have china for special occasions..btu i always forget about it...

8:05 pm

I grew up with green Melmac dishes. An aesthetic disaster but practically indestructable.

white does go with everything.

8:06 pm

My sister has the most gorgeous (and expensive) Irish stoneware I've ever seen. Colm Di Ris.

8:06 pm

I was told many years ago that corelle is prone to sudden breakage as it gets older -- small chips eventually fail.

8:06 pm

that happened to me stiddy... i like heavy cutlery and heavy dishes....its jsut a thing...

you know wht, those melmac, are collectors items now.

8:07 pm

those were our camping dishes wht..and u would NOT believe how $$$ that stuff is now

OK, the last two words I added? I don't even believe that they're words. It's past time for me to go to Lickety.

8:08 pm

For all I know, my sister is still using them.

8:09 pm

hey SamanthaJoy!

8:09 pm

just googled that stoneware molls..reminds me of blue mountain pottery....( sorry ....)

Hi there you!

8:09 pm

It's similar Carlee, but I think much prettier.

8:10 pm

its the colour...

8:10 pm

i like tha tit is more free form...

8:11 pm

but...i will stick to m y cheap..heavy plain...white...grocery store dishes :)

8:12 pm

that colm di ris is very pretty -- I like cobalt blue (don't tell pini!!!!)

8:13 pm

I like it because it tugs at my Druid roots.

8:14 pm

thats what makes the world an interesting place....we all have different tastes...likes dislikes ...:)

8:17 pm

Yes indeed. I never suggest that someone should like something because I do, although it is often perceived that way. *Sigh*

8:18 pm

its just we're passionate about our likes and dislikes :)

evening all

8:19 pm

hi Jes, Hi Carlee

8:26 pm

hmmm..the boys are leaving...i can bust out my gin and have a gin and lemonade ( gotta keep it hidden from the teenagers else they will decide one night to drink it )

hey stid. i am rushing to finish, just home and eating dinner

8:26 pm

heh. do you really think the teenagers won't go looking for it, carlee?

8:27 pm

considering i have not bought liquor in more that 20 years...( i always had wine )...no..they wont

8:27 pm

lookin' is one thing, finding it is another!

8:27 pm

Ssssh Jes, she still hasn't figured out that they already found it and are watering it down. : P

8:28 pm

and i have it under the kitchen sink with all the cleaners..teenaged boys..and cleaners?..i think NOT

8:28 pm

lol carlee!

8:28 pm

not seeing my folks buying something wouldn't necessarily have stopped my brother and his friends from looking. i, of course, was totally innocent.

car;ee you have a devious mind.

8:28 pm

he has vodka and rum in his bedroom....

8:29 pm

Kids will find everything. They will just look around everywhere.

8:29 pm

just make sure you know which bottle is which carlee.... *stands ready with poison control # on speed dial*

8:29 pm

Exactly Wht.

8:29 pm

( no..seriously... i have not bought hard liquor except sherry for cooking in 20 years...)

8:30 pm

Are you kidding, to you they are cleaners. To your boys it is ingredients for Lord knows what.

8:30 pm

am having 1 gin and lemonade..not 10

8:31 pm

teenage boys and she's able to stop at 1 drink? she's made of willpower!

8:31 pm

Lucky is making unusual whimpering noises, I think he is bored-to-tears.

Fireworks, yay

8:32 pm

i dont think so why..my son firmly refuses to hang with kids who get into drugs...a former best friend....practically lived here... they no longer speak...period...cus the kid started doing drugs...

8:32 pm

yay samantha!

8:32 pm

**~*POMPOM TOSS*~*~*for sam

8:32 pm

whoooo hoooo samantha!!

8:32 pm

wtg Samantha

I like this size grid. I have a chance at finishing it without eating into the rest of my day.

And thanks, y'all

wtg san

8:33 pm

making a pitcher of fresh squeezed lemonade..back in a minute..

8:33 pm

*sigh* jes, Lucky DOES need a buddy! (but I need a husband...) and no more dogs until I can afford a fence - which the new roof as again put off.

8:33 pm

otherwise, the new puppy of yours jes would be tops on my list!

8:34 pm

new roof? what happened to the old one?

8:34 pm

ah, speaking of spouses... now lucky is saying, "daddy's home"

8:34 pm

it was leaking, jes. in several places we knew about and in a couple places I suspected that hadn't quite made it to the interior but were confirmed when they took the shingles off.

8:35 pm

that's suboptimal

8:35 pm

so I spent the last of my inheritance to replace it.

8:36 pm

at least we will have a home for the next decade or so. hopefully no more major repairs needed for a while.

8:36 pm

No worries Stid. When we get older, and have no inheritance, I will be happy to share a cleanly swept cave with you and yours. : )

8:36 pm

back in a few.

But, hey! New roof!

8:36 pm

roof that works is a good thing

8:36 pm

bruce says i'm too slow, only half way.

I'm outta here unless someone needs clues. Any questions?

8:37 pm

only if you need a puppy, samantha :)

My husband would kill me.

8:38 pm

So this is likely to be my last evening to play Babble for a while. Early Saturday we are leaving for a two week trip to Hawaii.

8:38 pm

And I suspect tomorrow night I will be starting to pack.

en that we're talking about moving in the next year, probably adding a third dog to our pack is not a perfect idea.

G'night now. Enjoy hawaii!

8:39 pm

sounds fun, wht

8:39 pm

ah well, have a good night with the pups you have, samantha :)

how exciting wht, have you ever been?

8:40 pm

We have never been.

8:41 pm

ok..am back..gin and lemonade in hand...

i would loke to beg some clues

pls

8:42 pm

We will leave our son home to watch the house. My wife and I are looking forward to it a lot.

8:42 pm

for what words TO?

8:42 pm

will clue if i can, TO, but still have 60 left...

8:43 pm

ask away, TO. which island(s) are you going to visit, Wht?

8:43 pm

Glad to help, TO.

8:43 pm

For nights on Oahu and 6 nights on Maui.

8:44 pm

We are taking a day trip to the volcanos on the Big Island.

8:44 pm

oahu is a tourist trap. but there are some nice places to visit, like the polynesian center and of course the Arizona memorial. Maui is awesome!

8:44 pm

And 2 nights in San Francisco on the way out since that was where we went on our honeymoon 30 years ago.

8:44 pm

waiting for TO to ask

8:45 pm

ahh, is this a second honeymoon?

8:45 pm

sounds like a fab trip wht...someday....someday...

8:45 pm

sounds like a lot of fun, wht

re6/18 pls?

8:46 pm

I just hope that I can avoid 3'rd degree sunburns.

8:46 pm

the big island is fantastic, from what i've heard from friends.

8:46 pm

first re6.18 is re + bird's bed

8:46 pm

There are two, TO. One of them is what I will be going to.

8:47 pm

thanks, dawg

before that pls? and if you are that fair, there are shirts that are made of sun proof light fabric

8:47 pm

2nd one, you might re**** to hurting wht cuz he's going to a beach re****

8:47 pm

Wht, remember to put sunscreen on the tops of your feet. My kids leaned that lesson the hard way in St. Lucia.

8:47 pm

invest in sunscreen and linen shirts :)

8:48 pm

and a broad brimmed hat

8:48 pm

and if u part your hair....or a hat

8:48 pm

The real problem is patience. I would like to come back something other than pasty white, but I do burn fairly quickly.

8:48 pm

so..go to a tanning salon before hand...

8:49 pm

use the spf 10,000!

the first one, sorry did not specify

8:49 pm

not that i advocate that.... but if you are determined to get some colour...its better than having a reaction to the sun 9 I have had) and feeling like you have prickly heat every time you go outside)

8:49 pm

I think we have some of the sunscreen that makes you paler just by putting it on.

nm

8:50 pm

Wht, ten minutes no sunscreen, then lather up. You should get a light, natural color from that, no matter how fair you are. Take it from the fair skinned, freckled Irish chick.

8:50 pm

yay kookie doe!

8:50 pm

bruce is so good to me :)

8:51 pm

for you wht: read this one and the next 2 comics :) http://www.girlswithslingshots.com/ comic/gws1197/

1st re6/18 pls?

8:52 pm

Thanks Molly, that is the sort of thing I had planned.

8:52 pm

make a bird's bed again, TO

ty and fireworks

8:53 pm

yay TO!

Jes, Loved those comics.

whooo hoooo TO!!!

8:56 pm

what's gone wrong, p?

8:57 pm

my cell phone isn't working ... well, it's working for incoming call, but I can't do anything else with it because the touch screen won't respond

8:58 pm

anyone have a spare Verizon they're not using?

8:58 pm

You can call Pini, but she can't call you back. : )

8:58 pm

actually... just upgraded mine because it stopped dialing out.

8:59 pm

helppppppppppp ro 4/4

8:59 pm

that's right, molly

8:59 pm

I'm getting ready to dump my Verizon cell phone. Looking around for another provider. I hate Verizon.

9:00 pm

I'd upgrade mine, but that includes signing another 2 year contract...something I'm not keen on since this contract isn't even over

9:00 pm

stay away from at&t, molly. they're eeeeeevil

9:00 pm

don't do it Pini

9:00 pm

I changed over to Verizon because it's the only carrier that covers my daughter's town

9:00 pm

All three ro 4/4's start with the same three letters...to decay. Add a vowel to two of them, and a consonant to the other.

9:00 pm

I had T-mobile for 10 years and only 1 contract...would have stayed if they'd covered her town

9:01 pm

I'm not planning on it, snags...

9:01 pm

at&t told us we could switch to verizon and keep the same number because they didn't have coverage where we were. we arranged to continue paying out the contract on a different number.

9:01 pm

assistance please.... I have a re4/4 a se6/18 so4/4 and the so6/18 I have monkeyed way to much

9:02 pm

Actually Jes, my son has AT&T with pay as you go. I may switch to that. I almost never use my cell phone.

9:02 pm

or so we thought. instead, we got a new number with a new contract, and a $400 early cancellation fee and they refused to correct it.

time to go, happily in training for Fest tonight and reconnecting with old friends. but it's been a long day

9:02 pm

bye, TO

9:02 pm

have a good night!

9:02 pm

mobile carriers are getting to be incredibly annoying and almost not worth the portability

9:03 pm

have fun, TO!

9:03 pm

night, TO

9:04 pm

hi lbd

9:04 pm

Once upon a time, we all lived very happy lives without cell phones.

9:04 pm

hi shoo

9:04 pm

i live quite well without a cell phone

9:04 pm

I'm beginning to envy those days, molly!

9:04 pm

have time to skype?

9:05 pm

about an hour

9:05 pm

skype? who?

9:05 pm

i love my dumb phone

9:05 pm

oh, not me

9:05 pm

yeah, but those were also the days of slow but expensive dial up...

9:06 pm

??? Dial up and cell phones are apples and oranges.

9:06 pm

i pay 7 cents per minute for my long distance

9:06 pm

...those were the days, my friend...we'd thought they'd never end...

9:06 pm

Lucky likes dried papaya???? *sigh* he's eating as much as I will give him.

9:06 pm

hey again all

9:06 pm

yes, but was during the same time... someone said they envy the time

9:06 pm

hi stid

9:07 pm

jes, since you are here -- is Lucky's desire for my treat safe?

9:07 pm

we'll complain now, but envy this time in 10 years

9:07 pm

I still contend that 90% of all cell phone calls are non-essential.

9:07 pm

in moderation. too much might give him diarrhea or gas because of the sugar.

9:08 pm

probably true, molly

9:08 pm

thanks jes -- I will cut him off then. he's had a little bit -- we'll see how it affects him.

9:08 pm

*rolls eyes* after more than 40 years of dog companions, I STILL get surprised sometimes!

9:08 pm

better than steak fat or rib sauce :)

9:09 pm

LOL true enough!

9:09 pm

lbd.....call me. tried on my end and nuttin
