7:21 am

So Kap, any plans for your birthday?

Not sure yet. Both kids are home, one going through heartbreak. The house is cleaner than usual. I will see when I get back from the gym.

I think my husband is frantically looking through groupons.

7:22 am

Aw, poor heartbreak girl.

It's awful. She keeps calling him.

Which prolongs the agony and pushes him farther away.

"He doesn't love me anymore."

7:24 am

good morning everyone:)

GM Crossy. It's my b-day.

7:25 am

That stuff is always harder on the young ones.

7:25 am

happy belly button day, Kap

7:25 am

happy b-day kaplan!

7:25 am

gm everyone

Here I can make the announcement. Everywhere else I feel silly.

7:25 am

howdy lbd

I'm not in the Navel Academy.

7:26 am

Oh I think you should wear a flashing banner. My girlfriends got me one of those before I got married that said BRIDE TO BE. It was hysterical.

7:26 am

Morning LBD

Old Person To Be.

7:27 am

Sage Elder In Training.

7:28 am

i cannot wait..you know all the answers,but no one listens to you

You got that right.

7:30 am

i am alreay playing that wonderful game,connect the liver spots,while 25 year old hotties call me sir and ask if i need help carrying that to my car;((

7:30 am

old is a state of mind, unfortunately the body has other ideas

7:30 am

I think the essence of being a Sage Elder is pointing someone in the direction of their own answers.

But they don't listen.

Maybe because they think all we do is Babble all day.

Takes away cred.

7:31 am

oh my mid is fine,,it thinks it is 25 and is forever making me throw my back out,my knees out or some other muscular group just self-destructs when i bend over to pick up all the hair that just fell out of my comb

7:32 am

nope, youngers think we don't have their experiences...we are after all OLD and have been living in a closet all our lives.

7:33 am

and did you know a "innie" belly button can almost hold a cup of water,if you get out of the shower real fast and bend over quick?

CTM!

7:33 am

i love it when my son tells me things his son is doing and making him crazy. I just laugh and tell him pay backs are enlightening

7:34 am

hey, do any of you guys have amug warmer... one of those things that keeps your coffee hot while you drink it?

7:34 am

Give them a little time to ripen LBD. There will come a time when a beautiful phrase will come out of their mouths that starts with "Now I know what you meant when you said..."

7:34 am

lol lbd,i told my kid,with all the chemicals i was around in the 70,s that he is lucky that he was not born with a third eye in the centre of his forehead

7:35 am

Nope KJE, never tried one.

7:35 am

my coffee gets too cold in the winter before I finish it - I keep it pretty cool in here

7:35 am

I am having trouble with all of the top right g's

7:35 am

How about a thermal cup?

7:36 am

7:36 am

molly, i've already had those experiences, but it's still heartwarming to be able to remind him of his childhood antics.

Name that proper spiller of seed.

7:37 am

7:37 am

Whew Kap, I thought you had missed Hannukah ge4

7:37 am

No- it's the others.

http://www.amazon.com/USB-Cup-Warmer-C offee-Mug/dp/B000K1V58A

7:38 am

They make battery operated ones.

7:39 am

don't like thermal cups, molly - don't like coffee in plastic or paper, etc... only the real deal. Even when traveling and stopping in at Peets or Starbucks, I ask for a real mug

7:39 am

will check it out cross

7:39 am

the reviews on the battery ones are really bad... apparently they don't really keep it hot

7:39 am

What about amazonca.com?

7:39 am

trust crossy....

7:39 am

there are some really nice ceramic thermal mugs now, kje

7:40 am

never heard of that, lbd - will google

7:40 am

cross - that thing has 12 reviews, all one star!

7:41 am

not that exact brand,but you get the idea

7:41 am

ah, what is your brand, cuz this one looks like it sucks! lol

7:42 am

mine is actually a canadian tire brand unit bought locally

7:43 am

but hunt around and put google to work and you will find a good one near you.mine works fine.not scalding hot but drinkable

7:43 am

7:44 am

8:15 am

8:19 am

8:19 am

8:20 am

8:20 am

nm..here it is..

8:20 am

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OAOrT0O cHh0

8:21 am

i may go out but it'll really be for the exercise, to work off some of the calories from dinner yesterday

8:21 am

lol shirlock,overdid it on the stuffing and turkey?

8:22 am

it's the desserts, i can't resist desserts

8:22 am

ahh, a sweet tooth,just like my lady

8:23 am

eileen's cheesecake, pecon pie, those chocolate figs from trader joes, and i made chocolate pumpkin cups

8:24 am

waitaminutedidyousaypecanpie??mmmm

8:24 am

lol

8:24 am

yep pecan pie

8:24 am

take pecans off,and use chocolate cunks instead

8:25 am

chunks

8:25 am

i didn't make the pie, came from a specialty bakery

8:25 am

have to be carefull,pecans may have vitamins in them;)))

8:26 am

lol, that's my excuse for eating any dessert

8:26 am

the cheesecake had blueberries on top

8:26 am

now see,you added vitamins again

8:26 am

chocolate truffle was stuffed IN a fig -- figs are high in vitamins

8:27 am

want a nice evening treat a tumbler of high end whiskey and fig newtons,if you dip them it hightens the pleasure;)

8:28 am

sound nice and toasty but i can't do alcohol -- no enzyme for processing, i literally turn green

8:31 am

ouch

8:31 am

meh, i don't miss it

8:32 am

ahh there is nothing finer on a frosty minus 30 january evening that snuggling up with the mrs and sipping a hot hard apple cider with a cinnamon stick in it

8:33 am

i just do the apple cider without the spike :)

8:33 am

indeed

8:36 am

the wood stove pulsing out the heat as the wind and snow blow up against the window,then to cool off you run out and make a snowman,then a nice shower to warm up then some nice home made chicken soup and a crusty french loaf with real butter

8:36 am

ahh..winter is a pain,but it also has its high points

8:37 am

as long as i don't have anywhere to go, it can snow as much as it likes

8:37 am

thats the idea,always keep 2 weeks of supplies on hand

8:38 am

not so bad now,but when we lived further north,it was not uncommon to be stuck for a week at a time 3 or 4 times a year

8:39 am

the driveway used to be over 1/2 a mile long and cut through 4 fields to get to the farm house and you would look out at 7-8 foot drifts

8:40 am

brb

8:44 am

quet

8:45 am

9:45 am

reminds me,for the woodsman in your life,tiffany has a hand engraved,sterling silver compass on sale for ONLY $395.00

9:45 am

if you're being woodsy, why would you want a sterling silver compass?

9:46 am

lol crossy, quite a bargain - can't imagine any self respecting woodsman leaving home without one

9:46 am

lol,i use a standard plastic silva map compass myself

9:47 am

hang it round my neck on a string along with my firesteel

9:47 am

eating leftover baked goods

9:48 am

lol,bad shirlock..you were sposed to go for walkies to work off that pecan pie

9:48 am

9:48 am

ah Shirl, that's what I enjoy about the big days

9:48 am

i'm going after lunch :)

9:50 am

le 4 and 5 =that late night talk show guy

9:58 am

i use babble expert and get my list there,no problem

9:58 am

I have not had any problems that I've seen others talk about jbv, so - perhaps at your risk

9:58 am

9:58 am

9:59 am

I have it running too

9:59 am

OK, I'll check with my tech consultant first before trying it again :)

9:59 am

lol

9:59 am

just scan it with avg or ad-aware

10:00 am

or spy-bot

10:00 am

he spent a LOT Of time fixing/cleaning up/installing new software, etc. I don't want to run a risk

10:00 am

he does all that for me - I guess I should learn to do it on my own

10:00 am

indeed,it is very easy,but as you see,time consuming

10:01 am

takes me 3-4 hours to do a new computer set up properly

10:01 am

I have avast, spy-bot and malware

10:02 am

that is fine,just pass on norton,it is a over bloated pig of a program atm

10:02 am

sucks the resources like a starving vampire

10:07 am

yea flosey. i'm missing all the el's

10:07 am

10:07 am

the el 6 and 8 are strange

10:08 am

sounds like a cut of pork different spelling

10:08 am

*thinking eloan isn't in enable yet*

10:08 am

ahhh, ty, flosey

10:09 am

yw lbd

10:11 am

fi 4/7= a babblet that sounds like a house plant

10:11 am

pain in the butt thing it was to find

10:13 am

just monkeyed fr5/16, to complete F words

10:17 am

hi all, back with breakfast!

10:17 am

what's for breakfast, uu?

10:18 am

oh, must make porridge, good day for it, bbl

10:18 am

same as always, lbd, cereal with yogurt, and coffee (actually sometimes I have tea)

10:18 am

eww

10:19 am

Hello all. Not stopping but dropped in to say I've just put todays stats in my profile and on BabAnon. I think JBV was looking for a list...

10:19 am

good morning babble friends!

10:19 am

crossy never likes my breakfast :-(

10:19 am

i have oatmeal every morning topped with berries.

10:19 am

ohhhhh, sun's coming up, going to be a good day

10:19 am

i tell you right now,the doc is gonna have a tough time prying my eggs away from me

10:19 am

howdy trif

10:19 am

howdy jacula

10:19 am

I often it with blueberries lbd, topped with maple syrup and milk

10:19 am

just finished my traditional post-thanksgiving breakfast -- turkey on white bread with cranberry sauce and stuffing, with pumpkin pie chaser

10:19 am

the cereal I eat is called Nutlettes - it is basically pure soy, formed into bits that look like Grape Nuts - lots of protein and fiber and no taste whatsoever

10:20 am

but I actually like yogurt a lot, and it makes the yogurt crunchy, which I also like

10:20 am

sometimes I put fruit on it but today I was too lazy

10:20 am

and hi to jac, trif, and flosey!

10:21 am

Got to go - have some work to type up. Happy Babbling all. x

10:21 am

that sounds really good uu! I enjoy crunchy yogs as well

10:21 am

not sure where I am with soy though...some people think tis a miracle food, whereas others swear it's the devil....

10:22 am

got some mixed berries at costco. with a bit of brown sugar. no milk...

10:22 am

soy cerial?? that is not food ..is it? lol

10:22 am

i haven't tried soy milk, but i love yoghurt.

10:23 am

often use dried cranberries

10:23 am

soy milk is OK but I prefer regular milk. Soy yogurt is horrible.

10:23 am

I have soy milk sometimes, but rice milk others - bit of a lactose situation here, I am afraid

10:24 am

when I lived in Switzerland I would buy muesli (the real Swiss kind, not the kind you get here) - several different grains, nuts, dried fruit - then I would mix yogurt into it - it was fabulous

10:24 am

ohhh, the memories! I used to spend my summer's at a LOVELY camp in Maine, eventually becoming a counselor there. We had to have bird names, and I just found mind in the grid! Have not thought of that in a dog's years

10:24 am

clue for the go6?

10:25 am

when it was really cold I would cook it like oatmeal (which it was, partly) - so yummy!

10:25 am

stats for the bird, trif?

10:25 am

go + **** and the King of Siam

10:25 am

ga 6 24

10:26 am

ty, erda!

10:26 am

yw lbd

10:26 am

ha, got it, thanks, trif!

10:26 am

no worries! Nice birds...

10:26 am

hey, grammar Q, is it "all were ..." or "all was ..."?

10:27 am

all were present --- and all was quiet

10:27 am

yes, it depends on the number of items all describes

10:28 am

found another bird, now have nbt

10:29 am

then it'll be all were included?

10:29 am

depends. All prices were included, yes.

10:29 am

yougurt,wet oats and soy and berries..godd,i can see what is coming at me at the next appt to break down my physical results..:(

10:29 am

but not "we went to a hotel in Jamaica and only had to pay once, as all was included"

10:30 am

I'll fix muesli for you the traditional Swiss way, crossy, I'll bet you'll like it

10:30 am

ah, crossy, you know we all want you to fight your lipids!

10:30 am

i will most likely have to ask you for new recipies

10:30 am

although perhaps it requires climbing an alp or two to really appreciate it :-)

10:31 am

I thought the go was a lizard, not a bird?

10:31 am

uusue, you make me laugh!!!

It's still my birthday and in chog I can announce it all I want.

10:31 am

the go is a lizard, the ga is a bird, mklein

10:31 am

There is also an an that is another lizard.

10:32 am

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

10:32 am

thanks for that one, mklein!

10:32 am

absolutely kap, and happy birthday!

10:32 am

sigh..soy pizza..tofu bacon...veggie burgers on ancheint grain buns...i am depressing myself lol

As it were...as it was.

10:33 am

turkey bacon isn't so bad, crossy

10:33 am

I think it's more a matter of quantity, crossy - you can still have all those things, just less frequently and in smaller quantities

Two food rules. Never eat anything that pretends it is something else.

10:33 am

There are 3 lizards so far - I've never notice that before.

10:34 am

and fill in the gaps with lots of fruit and vegetables

10:34 am

or adopt the french way of living, and have everything with a good glass of wine, so the alcohol cuts the fats for you

Another is not to eat anything your grandmother wouldn't recognize as food.

Or eat things that come in packages.

never eat anything bigger than your head.

10:34 am

I was JUST going to write that, kaplan! the grandmother thing....

10:34 am

the French also have surprisingly small servings

10:34 am

one of my favorite books, kaplan!!!

:)

10:35 am

or as my sister once said, G-d has everything color-coded; as long as you eat things of a lot of different (natural) colors you will be fine :-)

10:36 am

lol,good rule kap and you are most likely correct sue

I do eat a lot of soy-meat fake products. I am going to take a look at that.

10:36 am

also avoid things with ingredients you can't pronounce

My grandmother wouldn't erecognize anything without schmaltz on it.

10:37 am

i think i like the idea of the french way of eating with lots of vino

10:37 am

and take two hours to eat dinner, crossy, and do a lot more talking than eating

10:37 am

i refuse to eat anything that is genetically modified,irradiated or grown in a petri dish..sorry

10:38 am

tada!! finito!

10:38 am

crossy, look up a magazine called Clean Eating....I think you would like it a lot

10:38 am

i think i shall triff,ty:)

10:38 am

yay, lbd!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

10:38 am

yaa for lbd!!!

10:38 am

ok, must go, see you all later!

Never eat anything that would eat you first.

10:38 am

huzzah for lbd!

10:38 am

later, UU

I gotta go.

10:39 am

ty, ty, ty, just in time for the first load of laundry to be fluffed and folded. bbl

10:41 am

that's funny, I just hear the dryer hear fire up...methinks primo is up and about

10:45 am

I'm still asleep, myself, look at how mangled my last post was! sorry

10:48 am

Hello Babblers. Stopping in to get a few more.

3:04 pm

I now have auto correct and it's driving me up a wall

3:05 pm

3:05 pm

If only auto correct worked when we added words to the grid.

3:05 pm

that would be nice !!

3:06 pm

Hi Westford. Yes, it has been a beautiful day. I trimmed up the hedges and raked the leaves in the driveway and my son mowed the lawn and mulched up the rest of the leaves.

3:06 pm

Then took a walk.

3:07 pm

we don't often get a chance to do this so late in Nov

3:07 pm

60 degree weather in November is always a treat.

3:08 pm

any clues for the el?

3:08 pm

could stay that way as far as I'm concerned

3:08 pm

Ooo. Wht Manor must be looking stately. : )

3:08 pm

Actually, any of the els

3:08 pm

don't have any yet but will help you look

3:08 pm

Well maybe a little less dishevelled.

3:09 pm

hello Molly

3:09 pm

The el's are French words. Means to distance ones self or go far away from.

3:10 pm

thank you

3:10 pm

I get very tired of Enable for the bi and tri lingual.

3:12 pm

Happy to see most of you survived Thanksgiving :-)

3:14 pm

Hi Sood. We did here in RI

3:14 pm

It's been a day of relaxation munching on leftovers. Delightful. : )

3:14 pm

Point of order, Molls. One doesn't munch on leftovers.... one grazes!

3:15 pm

Moo

3:15 pm

LOL

3:15 pm

oh, so when was thanksgiving? I naively assumed it was this coming Sunday..

3:16 pm

Didn't really have the energy for more than that. Five days of food prep and cleaning for the feast wiped me out.

3:16 pm

the 4th Thursday in Nov Glant and hello to you too

3:16 pm

Its always the last Thursday in November, Glan.

3:16 pm

and, what's the black friday thing about?

3:17 pm

Big sales at all the stores to mark the beginning of holiday shopping

3:17 pm

so why is that black?

3:18 pm

I know, Molls, it's crazy, isn't it? You spend the best part of a week cleaning and preparing for the big day, and then.. bang.... its all over (bar the grazing!)

3:18 pm

ty Molly for the el's. Getting called away. bbl

3:18 pm

It refers to "in the black" a money term meaning profitable for merchants

3:19 pm

Thanksgiving sounds like Christmas to me - both food and spending LOL

3:20 pm

I like that we have a national day that is all about giving thanks.

3:24 pm

We are deprived this side of the pond, Glan. Only one day of festivity in our calander!

3:27 pm

Hey, for the Irish, every day is a day of festivity.

3:27 pm

:)

3:34 pm

3:59 pm

Greetings kids. How is everyone and how is this grid?

3:59 pm

hi scrab so far so good

4:00 pm

I am diving in.

4:01 pm

Hi Scrabs

4:02 pm

What is your weather like, lynxxx? Summer is approaching, right?

4:03 pm

Yes. Spring has been really good, not too hot and a bit of rain about where I am.

4:04 pm

We had an unusually mild day today--sunny, not cold. It was beautiful.

4:05 pm

Do you get snow where you are?

4:07 pm

Oh, yes, I live in the snow capital of western New York state. Across the valley is a ski resort.

4:07 pm

We have an average of 130 inches of snow over the winter.

4:07 pm

brrr - no scampering outside for 'real' bunnies

4:08 pm

Nope. Except for snowshoe hares.

It is still Kaplan's birthday.

I want to milk it.

4:09 pm

Happy Birthday Kaplan!!

4:09 pm

Happy Birthday dear Kap!!!!!!

4:09 pm

Happy Birthday Kap

4:10 pm

Have you had a nice day?

Here's some upside down candles.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nice enough. I like being left to my own devices.

Have some virtual cake.

4:11 pm

*Puts out cake and ice cream*

4:11 pm

Me too. I require lots of solitude.

4:11 pm

It is delicious, Kap! and TY, Molly.

I like solitude. Especially when it's by choice.

I love ice-cream cake.

Especially this kind. It won't make me gain back the 10 pounds I lost.

4:12 pm

Ice cream...yummy.

4:12 pm

hey - I am a big fan of solitude too

4:13 pm

That can be difficult in a relationship where the other person doesn't get your need for time to yourself. I lived through that once.

4:13 pm

I am glad to know others that enjoy solitude. So many people don't understand the desire or need to be alone.

My poor husband never knows what to get on my b'day. I absolved him, because I will buy it myself.

I am buying myself a massage.

I like solitude but have to be careful not to over-isolate.

At the same time, I am a social being. Only within certain hours.

there is almost a Groucho joke in this grid.

"Waiter, do you have ****'s ***s?" "No, it's rheumatism that makes me walk this way."

4:17 pm

*trying to figure out the word*

fr4's legs.

4:18 pm

Haha

CTM.

4:18 pm

lol

CTM is more accurate.

4:19 pm

welp

4:19 pm

Do not try that word.

We all just did.

4:19 pm

there are a lot of obscure words in this grid for me, struggling even with the list

Did you ever have an orlon sweater?

4:21 pm

hi folks

4:21 pm

Sounds familiar.

Hi Welki. ave some of my birthday cake.

4:22 pm

Welki, how are you feeling?

4:22 pm

sure, kap .. and socks and knitting yarn

4:22 pm

hi Welki

4:22 pm

scrabbs, just frustrated. thinking i should be MUCH better by now and, of course, i'm not

What's up?

4:23 pm

slept another 14 hours

4:23 pm

Nope. You need time to heal and recover.

4:23 pm

it's only been since tuesday that i started the meds ... still coughing, still tired ... if i'm still like this on monday, should i call the doc back?

4:24 pm

(pneumonia, kap - and sorry to take away from your HAPPY BIRTHDAY!)

Yes.

4:24 pm

what have you done to yourself Welki?

4:24 pm

If the infection is viral then antibiotic treatment will make no difference.

4:25 pm

ooh Welki - take it easy please - nasty

Pneumonia can wipe you out for weeks.

4:26 pm

You are on an appropriate antibiotic if you have Mycoplasma or Chlamydophila camping out in your lungs. But the cough may linger for wks.

4:26 pm

i'm such a baby - i have forms the doc has to sign because i'm out of work for +5 days - already paranoid that he'll say, "WHAT? YOU BIG BABY, there's nothing wrong with you, you should have been back to work already!"

Take it seriously please.

4:26 pm

Worrisome signs would be if you worsened---T persisting over 101/38.5, SOB, generally sicker.

4:27 pm

because he said (monday night), once the fever's gone, you can go back to work - but my fever isn't constant, it comes and goes

4:27 pm

SOB? i divorced him years ago

You need to be fever free for 24 hours at least.

4:27 pm

lol

4:27 pm

Fever isn't really a good marker of improvement, It's how you feel, how much endurance you have, how often you are coughing.

truly.

4:28 pm

hehehe, but kap? the cough ... it's a baddie. lots of pressure that seems to find it's way out in other ways, if you get my ~drift~ certainly can't go to work like that *lol*

4:28 pm

Haha. I wondered what people would think when I typed SOB.

4:28 pm

so what's SOB mean when you type it, scrabs?

4:28 pm

oh shortness of breath .. got it

I was looking for who was an SOB.

Stay out of work as long as possible. At the end of your life, you will not be filled with remorse...

4:30 pm

BBL, time for Stews walk. Look after yourself Welki - and not too much cake Kap. Bye

"Gee, I wish I had worked more."

4:30 pm

Welki, you have been sick so long that you now want to get better NOW.

4:30 pm

thanks lynxxx .. bye for now

4:30 pm

Bye Lynxxx

4:31 pm

you're wise, kap - but i'm old school and do identify with my job (and scrabb, you're right, i'm sick of being sick)

I am a wise guy.

4:31 pm

I hate being idle and missing work and activities due to illness.

4:32 pm

yep - already holiday things i'm missing

4:32 pm

but - i get a present today for your birthday, kap - asked my other half to stop off and pick up a pulse oximeter and thermometer (because inquiring minds want to know)

4:33 pm

Sending healing thoughts your way Welki. You've been sick long enough.

4:33 pm

Haha. You may as well start recording the stats.

4:33 pm

thanks molly - and my guess is that the chat is sick of me being sick, too :)

4:33 pm

Nope

4:33 pm

i'm a retired EMT, scrabbs - can't get it out of my blood (haha - punny)

4:34 pm

I think that you will improve a bit in the next few days.

4:34 pm

positive about being sick: lost a few pounds

4:35 pm

Yep, that is the only benefit of being ill.

4:35 pm

*picturing scrabbler with a card pressed against her forehead, just like johnny carson*

4:35 pm

carnac!

4:36 pm

Your chat buddies just want you to feel better Welki. : )

4:36 pm

We typically advise giving an antibiotic at least 4-5d to make a difference. I would be worried if you were worsening.

4:37 pm

not worried yet - husb says i'm not coughing as often, but am coughing as severely

4:37 pm

and, lucky for him, i can't get more than a sentence or two out before i can't talk :)

4:39 pm

i'd go stir crazy if not for you folks

4:39 pm

How about a clue for the si9?

4:40 pm

I have worked through similar episodes--trying to hold the coughing back.

we're not sick of you being sick. This is a place for being whatever you are.

It's a compound, Monk.

4:40 pm

Hi Monkey. I have no 8s or 9.

builds from si6.

4:41 pm

does it start with the si4/6 ?

Yeah.

4:41 pm

Oooh, I found it.

There is antifreeze but there is no profog.

I am profog.

4:42 pm

but there is something along the line of protibia or profemur

4:43 pm

got the si9, thanks!

4:43 pm

I am anti-fog

Name that proper little girl at the Plaza!

4:43 pm

but I am also anti=anti-freeze

4:43 pm

TY

4:43 pm

so there

4:43 pm

Eloise!

Ding ding ding!

4:44 pm

There's a name you never hear anymore

4:44 pm

ohh, kap, i have an eloise book :)

Oh, EL-loise!

4:44 pm

Surprising, since oldish names are coming back. Abigail, etc.

4:44 pm

There's too many Katelynns and Morgans and Bethanys, no more Eloise or Margaret or Katherine

Harriet and Gladys never came back.

4:44 pm

or hermoines

Neither did Pearl.

4:45 pm

or Hazel

4:45 pm

Mildred never came back either. Probably a good thing.

4:45 pm

my stage name would have been hazeltine dubois

Wilma.

4:45 pm

or Velma

4:45 pm

lol

4:45 pm

..and too many Isabellas, Olivias, Ellas, Emmas, Sophias...I have witnessed the trends over the last 20+ yrs.

4:45 pm

How do you get a stage name, welki?

4:45 pm

Blanche, Stella, Bertha

4:46 pm

just make one up, monkey :)

Betty.

4:46 pm

make one up for lil*monkey please!

4:46 pm

please, nothing to do with a monkey

4:46 pm

mamie, camilla, elsa

4:46 pm

Adelaide Anderson.

No Betty;s in the pre-schools.

Louise.

Fran.

Ella.

4:47 pm

Lots of Ellas in the last several yrs.

4:47 pm

My stage name is Ovaltine du Chocolat

Bess.

4:47 pm

no kidding, i went to school with candace kane and nancy lipschitz

4:48 pm

Oui oui, Ovaltine. C'est bon!

Oh oh, don't start with Nancy now...

4:48 pm

candy kept her name (probably her stage name, too - lol) and nancy changed hers to lipton

4:48 pm

Je m'appelle Ovaltine

4:48 pm

There are some last names that should be forbidden. Lipshitz is one. Dick is another.

Candace parents should have been arrested.

4:48 pm

I went to college with Sara Lee

Fallek is another.

4:49 pm

With a name like Candy Kane, I can see pole dancing in her future.

4:49 pm

I once worked with Phil Kunz (I swear I'm not making this up)

4:49 pm

In my practice I have a 2 mo old baby named Nancy.

I know someone whose last name is Putz.

4:49 pm

if she can still make a living on a pole, more power to her --- we're not kids anymore *lmao*

4:49 pm

I had a patient named Kellie Kelly.

And she uses it because she thinks her single name is to Waspy. So she is Dr. Putz.

4:49 pm

i knew a woman whose married name is Alex Zander

4:50 pm

One of the funniest things I have ever seen is a video advertising pole dancing parties where the grandma gives it a whirl.

4:50 pm

Dr. Seymour Weiner used to practice ob/gyn in sussex, nj

4:50 pm

ha! I think that's cute, welki

4:50 pm

LOL SEYMOUR WEINER

If Doris Dau married Ted Knight...

She'd be Doris Day-Knight.

Do you remember those little blurbs in MAD Magazine?

Doris Day.

4:51 pm

Yes

4:51 pm

anyway, break time from sitting up - later, kids

Ugh. She is the most annoying actress in Hollywood.

4:51 pm

Rest, welki, rest.

Rest well.

4:51 pm

<-- leaving, singing, Que Sera, sera

I love Edward Everett Horton.

4:52 pm

Who Doris Day? The most annoying actress? Really? Have you never seen Debra Winger?

4:52 pm

Bette Midler totally anoys me, and Barbra Streisand.

Debra WInger is more annoying than Doris Day?

4:52 pm

oh for gods sake YES

"I remember Doris Day before she was a virgin." -MAD Magazine

4:52 pm

esp in Terms of Enbarfment

4:53 pm

I would love to have seen Officer And A Gentleman with a better actress than Debra Winger.

I LOVE MIDLER AND STREISAND!

4:53 pm

I second that Molly!!!!!

Have you ever seen Midler on stage?

4:54 pm

BEtte Midler and I went to the same elementary school :)

4:54 pm

I'm in the minority. I find Nicole Kidman so annoying that I refuse to watch any movie she's in.

4:54 pm

Nope, and wouldn't. I prefer quiet, humble, modest people.

4:55 pm

Molly, I am like that with Julia Roberts. I find her so unauthentic.

I like that they are out-there jewish women in the tradition of Sophie Tucker and Fanny Brice.

4:55 pm

I boycott Drba Winger, Julia bigmouth Roberts and Angelina Jolie husband stealer

4:55 pm

It's interesting to discuss preferences and dislikes, isn't it?

4:55 pm

Julia Roberts doesn't bother me so much, but I don't think she's as good of an actress as her paychecks would indicate.

Nicole Kidman looks like she needs to swallow.

4:55 pm

Agree, Molly

4:56 pm

Swallow what

4:56 pm

haha

4:56 pm

I just found the Baltimore bird. Yay.

Just swallow.

Get your mind out of the gutter.

4:56 pm

oh! heh

4:56 pm

<---In the gutter with Lil

I admire brash.

4:57 pm

Ooh, and the naval officer.

4:57 pm

It's so natural for me, I don't even think of it is "in the gutter"

I am not brash myself, but I admire it.

Lil Monkey, are you bragging?

4:58 pm

Laura Linney is one of my favorite actresses. I have liked her in everything I've seen her in.

4:58 pm

bragging? not at all

4:58 pm

Oh, yes, she was especially good in the John Adams series.

4:58 pm

I just have a Beavis & Butthead sense of humor I guess

There's non-controversial.

Tracy Ullman.

I also like...brace yourself Scrabbler...

Roseanne Barr.

4:59 pm

*holding my breath*

4:59 pm

AAAAAAHHHHH, NOOO! She is SO annoying.

Especially her reality show- Roseanne's Nuts.

Scrabbler, I think I get your taste!

You would not like some of my relatives.

5:00 pm

I loved the John Adams series. I was so glad it picked up so many, well deserved Emmy's.

5:00 pm

Like I said earlier, I prefer quiet, humble, modest, polite people.

I can't stand Kate Hudson.

No Sarah Silverman, I guess.

5:01 pm

Kate Hudson is over rated.

Margaret Cho- another.

5:02 pm

She's not a real actress, just a pretty blond to play opposite a cute boy.

We agree there.

5:03 pm

Alas there are very few greats anymore. No one of the caliber of Joanne Woodward or Jessica Tandy.

Judy Holliday. AHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

5:27 pm

5:27 pm

no, but BJs and Costco are near

5:27 pm

I'm not big on just plain pumpkin pie, but the pumpkin cheesecake is very good.

5:28 pm

i was experimenting :) a can of pumpkin, melting some chocolate, added some sugar, egg and cream and voila, a middle for my pastry cup

5:28 pm

they both make good baked goods. ours came from Safeway/Genuardis

5:28 pm

Sam's carry The Cheesecake Factory Cheesecake at their stores. $12 or so for a whole one

5:28 pm

oh, really

5:28 pm

they have a Red Velvet Cake/cheesecake I am going to get for Christmas

5:28 pm

5:29 pm

hmmm,I don't celebrate Christmas but could be persuaded to stop in for cake at Moms and Mollys

5:30 pm

Going to Costco at Christmas time scares me. Last time I went I got there fifteen minutes before they opened and the line to get in was a mile long.

there was a troll?

5:50 pm

yep, a "Donald" who kept putting words in the chat box even after being told not to many times

amazing how some people find sport in annoying others

5:52 pm

i don't really understand the impulse, so peurile

5:52 pm

puerile

5:53 pm

hi again, all! Have been in and out...

there's a "lady" who works on my floor who brushes her teeth in the ladies room and runs and runs the water

5:53 pm

...and somehow I have nbs and nbt. Who knew?

I commented how wasteful that was and now she runs it extra hard when I am in there and leaves the bathroom with the faucets running

just for me

5:54 pm

hi, jean!

hi there uu

5:54 pm

some people are just born negative

I figure they were born out of the wrong hole

5:55 pm

hi, shirlock!

LOL esprit

just a theory ;-p

5:55 pm

i hope everyone is doing better on this grid than me!

I am about one third in and hitting a wall

5:56 pm

EJ that is wasteful and spiteful!

5:56 pm

well, I probably am not, shirlock, but I haven't really been working on it

I know Peri, she's got a mean streak

5:57 pm

and it is certainly true that some people are natural jerks (thought I had only married one of them but it seems that I have married two, sigh)

5:57 pm

she needs a smack up side the head

if only . . .

6:00 pm

ha, found my dog in the grid! se4/4

6:00 pm

love it when a monkeying typo gives me a word!

6:09 pm

I'm wondering why someone is brushing their teeth in the ladies room at work.

6:09 pm

if there's a lot of peeps at work using that bathroom, i think it's kinda gross

6:10 pm

Really. Take care of your personal hygiene at home. Isn't brushing twice a day enough?

6:12 pm

hi all. can i get a clue for the el8?

6:12 pm

I think technically,you are supposed to brush 3 times a day after every meal.At least that is what dentists say. You are also supposed to floss your teeth three times a day too.I only brush twice a day & never floss

6:12 pm

el 8/50 is one who el 6/24 word pigeonman & hi there

6:13 pm

6:21 pm

6:22 pm

Don't know Shirl, never heard of it before this grid.

6:23 pm

a sponge type cake. Hello again

6:23 pm

ge7 is an italian sponge cake actually, but the french named it after the city it came from... genoa

6:24 pm

sometimes has cream between the layers

6:24 pm

and there is a freebie for you

6:24 pm

it's delicious no matter what it's called :)

6:24 pm

hi Dorens

6:24 pm

ahah! i am eating cake in the pb, amn't I?

6:26 pm

this grid seems a toughie.. guess i should hunker down

6:26 pm

There are a lot of weird words in it.

6:27 pm

as in weirder than usual?

6:27 pm

You have a point. : )

6:28 pm

think the words have all been here before but not for a long time

6:28 pm

that's a comfort, thanks lyn

6:29 pm

it definitely looks like it requires work

6:30 pm

been on / off all day, tough grid

then i'm relieved to b at least at halfway and going to lickety's list

6:33 pm

that's embarrassing - missed go6.24 large Australiamn lizard

6:33 pm

that's what that word means?

6:34 pm

hmmmmm have we seen that one before (in the states? in the grid?)

6:34 pm

Even though I am no way ne 4/4 to fireworks, I have reached my go 4/6 of finding at least half the words. My total points eq5/16 to 2004 points. Now here is a story of clues. I lo5/14d to be a teacher ever since I was young. My great na 4/4 inspired me to become a teacher.At first I wanted to become a pr4/8fesor at a university. That was a wr 5/22 decision though. So I decided to be an ESL teacher where I could teach a ra5/14 of grades from Pre-k to 12th grade. Now I ea 4/4 a living in the ro4/4 of an ESOL teacher in the re 6/24 of Westchester, NY. I'm a little biased in that I prefer to teach gi 4/6 than boys. I also do not like to teach la 5/14 groups of kids. It is much easier to ma 6/26 smaller groups. Husband is being an og 4/6 and wants the computer. Hubby doesn't want to wait for the computer any lo6/24.If I do not give it to him,he will get into a ro4/4ing ra 4/6 and start making some no 5/10. I re4/4ly do not want to stir up his an 5/14 so I will give the computer to him.I'm going to re6/24 from Babble for now. I am going to be a ri 5/10 and ri 4/4 out of this seat and go watch My Name is Ea 4/4.

6:34 pm

Yes

6:36 pm

nice min... i did get a few words from your story, thanks. but why isn't the australian lizard there ? lol

6:37 pm

Probably because I did not finish the grid yet Dorens.

6:37 pm

oh i'm just joking, honestly!!

6:38 pm

perhaps the yiddish thief stole it (ga5.10)

6:38 pm

huh? the yiddish thief i know has an f in it

6:38 pm

hi everyone -- just arrived in Vancouver. It wasn't too bad a trip. Snow and slush at the top of the connector and slush and packed snow at the Coquihallla summit -- we were blessed with a clear sunn;y day, and the roads were well sanded -- very lucky!

6:39 pm

It's ga5/20 for the thief

6:39 pm

there are quite a few variations in the spelling, but this one does have an F

6:39 pm

I knew it was a joke Dorens. Glad story help you some

6:39 pm

gA5/20 Doren

6:39 pm

silly me - typo - sorry 5.20!

6:39 pm

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

6:40 pm

ooooh, silly me, just thought you meant 5/10 and that couldn't have an F then forgot there was an F anyway

6:40 pm

hi C'nan

6:40 pm

Glad you arrived safely cybernan! We have cool weather here in the NW but dry all day.

6:40 pm

6:44 pm

6:45 pm

Never seen the Yiddish thief spelled that way.

6:45 pm

6:45 pm

i have mol. here!!

6:45 pm

thanks for the story minver. I started today's grid with it.

6:46 pm

i agree, it doesn't feel right to me that way

6:47 pm

beautiful day today. I had the top down on the convertible.

6:48 pm

The dictionary needs to start adding "variant spelling, only used in the game of Babble". : )

6:48 pm

I love warm weather this time of year. It takes the bite out of the "dark early" thing.

6:49 pm

yes it does... and the dark early thing felt strange today, coming while it was still warm out

6:52 pm

odd time to enter the chat

6:53 pm

what.. the dark early thing? you don't get that in sunny california?

6:53 pm

hi ruru

6:53 pm

That is often the case, Ru.

hello doren

6:53 pm

hi all

6:53 pm

hello owl

6:54 pm

we don't get the dark thing here..no..

6:54 pm

Hi Minvery, I'm fine. Eating leftovers today so have some time to try to get 100 words. My little pea brain can almost do that.

i waved to you as i rode by :p

6:54 pm

i waved back

6:54 pm

I'm so trying to concentrate on the grid, I'm missing the chat. How backwards is that?

6:54 pm

looking for that an 6,7,7 --combo?

6:55 pm

i just saw it myself nan, and wondering

:)

6:55 pm

an + delay or slow down + a vowell

6:55 pm

picnic pest + word that means get older, add a consonant, then plural it for the two 7s

6:55 pm

well stidgmere, that is backwards only if chat matters more to you than grid

6:56 pm

ooh -- found the first and last

6:56 pm

The grid is nice but the chat is nicer.

6:56 pm

ty ruru

6:57 pm

yw

i am watching tv there is absolutely nothing on

6:58 pm

I agree TO, which is why I'm doing a "24" marathon today.

6:58 pm

maybe turn the set on TO..:P

6:58 pm

i am brain dead. not getting either clue. picnic pest I thought was ant... and delay slow down, retard, detain, nothing i can think of will work

6:59 pm

owl? with 859 channels there is always something. it might be relatively mindless, but always something

6:59 pm

an + to drag + vowell doren

7:00 pm

drag or fall behind

7:00 pm

Picnic pest + a teen***er is one between 13 and 19

7:00 pm

ah, of course.... we have had that before too

7:00 pm

molly. picnic pest MINUS the last letter.

7:00 pm

no picnic pests in this grid molly.. put your glasses on

7:01 pm

7:01 pm

7:02 pm

any clues for the el's, please? -- stymied!

7:03 pm

I will goose

7:03 pm

oh ru, you are in good form today

7:03 pm

el is to distance oneself in French Nan

7:03 pm

e + sounds like a cut of meat like sir**** or tender****

7:03 pm

anyone for chickens?

7:03 pm

molly's clues helped me get the ma6 and the 2 ma7s--maybe I have a different kind of picnic pest.

doren, my niece was invited to a seminar for hs seniors at syracuse, they went to class and wrote (journalosm) she was one of only 19 in the whole county.

7:03 pm

hi all

7:04 pm

ru's been in good form for the last several days

7:04 pm

nice owl!

hello bad

7:04 pm

7:04 pm

Yes Badcat, they can be pests as well. : )

7:05 pm

7:05 pm

I keep seeing lions in the grid. They would be a picnic pest.

7:05 pm

hi everyone since the last time i was here.

and one of the professors gave her his busniess card. when she applies, she should write him a note thanking him and telling him she appreciated his interest and because of the wonderful time she wa s applying . will need beaucoups Scholarship $ though

7:06 pm

hi dawg (if that includes me)

7:06 pm

ty ruru & dawger -- a new one for me in both english and french

7:06 pm

i'm assuming she's a senior.... where else would she like to apply, do you know?

i am very proud at the same time very sad this was her mother bragging at dinner.

well she changes interests like she changes clothes lol

7:07 pm

i see your lions in the grid too, stigmere

college of nj and rider.,, i think she is applying in groups because you get some fees waived? i do not know much about it anymore.

7:08 pm

what made you sad? her mother bragging ? it is only natural... unless it is done to make others feel lesser, then it can sseem meanspirited

7:08 pm

college of nj has a great reputation and much more reasonable than syracuse

no, that i would not have known otherwise.

it was not a good holiday. missed my copilot and got lost

college of nj in newark?

7:10 pm

who is your copilot?

7:10 pm

ah ok

7:11 pm

The wizard in Lord Of The Rings referred to himself as white after his "rebirth" as it were.
