12:16 am

Has anyone found the 9 yet?

12:16 am

draft is a metal spike that goes into a board with numbers on it

12:16 am

My only sibling is gay and I'd have to say, most of those who have "bashed" him... well. You've gotta wonder.

12:16 am

12:16 am

and you can play draughts

I found the 9 a long time ago.

12:27 am

12:28 am

I'm trying, mrp, but am told it will take longer than I think

12:28 am

Ha! That's the least of the unpleasantness of children. lol

12:28 am

I know jilli, I know... I am sorry you broke :(

Well we're practicing. I think that's more fun. ;)

Hi Erda! I sent an email to mrp and copied it to you.

But I don't think mrp has seen it yet?

12:29 am

Saw it -- thanks, Neil

12:29 am

I was asking if it's ok to send Erda the new version of Babble Expert, mrp, because I didn't know if you would be around.

12:30 am

good to see you too, mrp

12:30 am

yeah, the practicing was the good part :)

12:30 am

yes, of course neil!

12:30 am

(I don't think I can change my travel plans without it costing me a fortune which I don't have)

Ok.

12:30 am

7's done now

12:30 am

now that babble has a community on FB, I can announce updates there

12:30 am

yay mrp -- and yay, Neil

Erda? If you use an IM chat like MSN I can transfer it on there. I can try to email it but it might not send... I'll give that a shot first though.

12:30 am

no worries jilli, will work around it :))

12:30 am

you just need your doctor to write a note jill.. there won't be excessive charges

12:31 am

Some of us don't use FB

12:31 am

How do I find the Babble group on FB?

12:31 am

type in search field babble community

12:31 am

ruru, i got a doc to write me a note saying I was in hospital having an operation to remove my bones, and they didn't refund me or move my plans!

12:31 am

there are two babble groups but one is active.

12:31 am

thanks cos!

12:31 am

ruru, the thing is, I've booked for my son too. JUst haven't had a chance to look into it yet.

12:31 am

i have two words for that travel agency... arseholes

12:32 am

I don't use FB either.

12:32 am

airlines have to accept it as a real excuse to change plans

I have an old, empty, dead page on there that I'm waiting to delete.

12:32 am

12:32 am

GMTA Neil !!!

12:33 am

Wow, mrp. What airline was that?

12:34 am

P&O cruises

Erda? Gmail isn't allowing me to send the attachment, so do you have MSN chat?

12:35 am

we were due to leave end of January 06 and I let them know October 05 and they too our money

If you do, add me by the same address you emailed me at.

12:35 am

No, but I have Gmail, too

Ok, but that isn't working. It will have to be transferred via MSN. Or Yahoo. But I can't log into Yahoo right now for some reason.

12:35 am

*took* even

12:36 am

bye all.. time to read!

I'll try it right from Hotmail first though.

You never know, that might work.

12:37 am

It's Erda2005 and no hurries...Thanks in advance!

Neil, as you can see, I can make it work, but having to restart the machine every time is such a bore...

12:40 am

I'm brain dead. Night all.

Ok, it sent to you, Erda!

Success at last.

Oh @hotmail?

12:42 am

Yup, it's there!! Thank you! So, do I have to delete the old one or just install over it?

Erda? Apparently there is no "Erda2005" at Hotmail.

Just tried adding it.

But glad you got the file!

12:43 am

that was Gmail...

Oh, I see.

12:44 am

12:48 am

Bleah indeed -- it must feel nice to have it all behind you!

I'm getting an implant, so i go back in 6 months. extraction + bone graft last summer. When all's done, i'll have a tooth that cost more than my car! At least you will see it when I smile big :D

Hi melon! :)

12:55 am

i briefly got mad when "pentet" was not accepted. what do you call a set of 5, i said to myself. then i remembered and felt stupid

Is that you who said Wolf Blitzer did the worst on celeb Jeopardy, Neil?

TY - I'm off. Happy babbling

Yes, melon... that was me. But that's a recording of an earlier debate, not tonight's. We had serious technical difficulties tonight and it didn't end up recording.

But yes, that's me you're listening to with believe it or not, Brad. He only sounds like a woman... he isn't one.

I figured that out. You get some good quips in there.

Why thank you. ;)

I'll show you a photo my better half took of the two of us that evening, while we were commentating. Hang on there while I get that link.

http://tinyurl.com/GOPD-22112011

You look like your voice.

You look like your voice.

I'm the dork with the dark curly hair in the black t-shirt and gray pants, of course.

Light gray pants I should say, since his are dark gray.

Well there's a link there to a photo from tonight's livestream too, which you can see here: http://tinyurl.com/GOPD-01072012-NL-L F

That's Liz Feldman with me tonight.

I wish that had recorded.

It's best to catch it live, in case it doesn't record.

Nice!

Send me an email when you're broadcasting, and I'll try to be around to catch it.

Anything's possible with the technical non-expertise and cheap equipment we have and use. :P

Huntsman actually makes sense.

Seriously. Those are Radio Shack mics.

low tech has it's own cachet.

I should've had a shave first. My face looks dirty in that shot from tonight. Ugh. I look ridiculous anyway.

It'll play in Seattle. Neil ;)

:P

phantoms tonite are shrimp and armpit.

1:16 am

that sounds unappealing

I'm hitting the hay. Tomorrow's my last day on break. laila tov, everybody.

Uhhh, yeah.

Lailah tov!

yeah, it does sound yucky.

Shrimp and armpit? I'd say so.

1:17 am

I think that's a special at Red Lobster

Definitely not a good combo.

sorry for the ew factor. now, i'm out of here! {poof!}

Bye melon. I'm off too.

1:19 am

good luck with the job thing.. I'm rooting for you

1:20 am

yeah.. I did have a lot of work to get done before I screw off with a surgery and am down for a bit

Thanks! Need as much of that as we can get right now. Gotta be something happening soon.

If all else fails another production assistant/photographer will be needed on the next tour, but I hope to be employed before then!

Crazy. Economy just sucks right now.

1:21 am

I will go to one of his concerts for sure if he's close to here..

You may see me running around like a madman.

1:21 am

Herding people in for the meet & greets and shooting photos during the show.

1:22 am

oh..you'd be too busy

It's pretty crazy and busy.

Every second, literally. It's nuts.

1:22 am

I bet

But try.

Unless I'm gainfully employed and doing better things by then. :P

1:23 am

I'll wear my Bachmann button that will get your attention

But have a good night ruru. Talk to you later... take care.

OMG! That might get you kicked out... fast. :P

1:24 am

it is bad enough when they go away to college, I can't imagine going away while in high school

8:13 am

I kinda hope my son will go travel for a year after highschool. Would do him a world of good. I will worry like crazy, no doubt, but I think he should.

8:15 am

is he in high school, Sprite?

8:15 am

yes, he is 15 now, 4rth year of 6 on the gymnasium.

8:15 am

wow 15 already

8:16 am

yes can you imagine? He is taller than me and almost taller than his dad. And filled out a bit as well, not a dressed nail, as they say here.

8:16 am

I like that saying

8:17 am

:)

hello everyone!

8:22 am

((TO))) good morning

8:22 am

8:33 am

morning all

8:34 am

hi Dorens

8:34 am

hey de ho dorens

8:34 am

nice crowd here this AM

morning doren. and also spritey and sue.

8:35 am

:-)

yes. made me come out of lurk mode.

8:35 am

happy anniversary to mom (if she's still here)

8:35 am

I know what you mean about lurk mode owl. i do it more and more these days

8:36 am

why is that?

beacuse you are are here!

8:37 am

I don't know sprite.. maybe because I'm getting more crochety in my old age... maybe cause some of the conversation lately just doesn't interest me?

8:37 am

(very sad face) Would hate to think you guys stayed away because of me

8:38 am

I find I'm less tolerant, and more easily annoyed by some folks... best just to play and stay out of the convo. Not you, ever, sprite

8:38 am

hello all

no,no that is why we came out

8:38 am

I'm with dorens ; )

8:38 am

bit I'll only admit to the crotchety, not the old

8:38 am

oh! ok :D Yeah, I can imagine some convo's aren't very inviting. But some others are. Anyway, am glad to see you both.

8:38 am

hi kj (oh, thanks... nice to have company in my less attractive moments)

see? it is just that easy to offend, when that is not meant at all

8:39 am

hi kje :D

8:39 am

that was because of crossing dialogues, I think, TOwl. I asked why, and you said because I was there. But that was to a former post, I see it now.

8:39 am

no problem kj. few are as old as me (I now qualify for the golden age pass at national parks though :/

and hi kje. folks are overtired, holidays and all i guess, and typing has no intonation

8:40 am

no, I'm not offended at all TO, I just find the drama tiring at times. I have real drama in my life, I don't need the fake kind - lol

8:40 am

indeedy deed.

8:40 am

dorens... I have seen your pics... I hope to look as good as you do if I make a golden age

8:41 am

no, i don't blame it on holidays, or being offended either.. just don't like what people go on about sometimes. and some seem so self-important... that's something I've never tolerated well

*nods in agreement*

8:41 am

(but dorens.... i AM important!)

8:41 am

good genes kj... one of the things i thank my mother for

with kje

*clarifies* with kje

8:41 am

Always amazes me if people go on and on about somebody else but me. Just cannot understand at all.

8:42 am

i just started watching a show called "once upon a time" - have you guys seen it?

8:42 am

ah, but they do go on and on about YOU, sprite

8:42 am

no can't say I have. Is it fun?

yes, i saw most of the marathon.

8:42 am

didnt mean to leave so fast. we are listing our camper on craigslist

8:42 am

no, there are just too many shows on.. too many channels, and then there are books to read, movies, and babble, of course

8:42 am

Dorens, I know! But that is only when I am not there... sigh... I feel SO excluded!

8:43 am

it is fun... very different (I mostly just like something different)

8:43 am

can i paste the ad in and you all can look at it for me

8:43 am

txt that is

8:43 am

of course, pls do

8:43 am

well - nothing new on this side of the rabbit proof fence

8:43 am

what is it kj?

8:44 am

I don't have a TV, but I do occasionally watch something via computer.... I saw a review for this and it looked interesting so I looked it up on Hulu - very interesting so far (which means they'll ruin it eventually, but I maintain hope)

8:44 am

called "once upon a time" dorens

8:44 am

at least you can enjoy it while it lasts, kje

it is fantasy,perhaps science fantasy, would you agree kje?

8:45 am

sounds interesting. and of course i have no time for it. I just caught all of season one of Downton Abbey, and season two begins tonight. but that does sound good kj. will look into it

8:45 am

we've been watching jerserylicious as well as the glam fairie

8:46 am

ren, where did you move to? I didn't realize you had left texas?

8:46 am

not really sci-fi as typica sci-fi genre... but yes, fantasy, sytery, etc

8:46 am

is jerselicious anything like jersey shore (a show I still have managed to miss, and suppose I will forever)

8:46 am

yes, I watched downton abbey on line last fall... will watch it online again

8:46 am

sounds good. If it ever makes it to our region, I will watch.

oh my, poor nj

8:47 am

dorens - we left tx in 2008 - we are currently in the tampa bay area

8:47 am

does hulu reach you sprite?

8:48 am

oh, that does sound vaguely familiar, but somehow I think i thought you were there for a visit, didn't realize you live there now? Are you near tarpon springs? the only thing i remember about the tampa area is a really good greek restaurant on the water there

8:48 am

no I am afraid not

8:48 am

jerseylicious is about a beauty salom and all the drama, smokey eyes, big hair,

8:48 am

hah! that sounds amusing

8:50 am

Dorens, are you talking about Santorini's in Tarpon Springs?

8:50 am

great food area dorens - more food than i can afford - and street parties and more food, and booze and food and fights

8:51 am

gee i have no idea but it might be. I was there over 30 years ago, but I remember it was really terrific and their greek salad is something I recreate still today. had avocado and lots of great vegs in it

8:52 am

Our daughter and son in law used to live in Tarpon Springs and we went there often. Lots of great places to eat and shop. A really nice little town.

8:52 am

booze and fights don't really appeal, but the great food always does

8:52 am

hi tabbycat

8:52 am

hey tabby

8:52 am

i have two tabbycats sitting by me right now

8:52 am

Never saw or heard of the fights.

hello tabbycat

8:53 am

Hi Ren and Dorens

8:53 am

i need greek now.... darn babble chog

8:53 am

yay for greek food!

8:53 am

Hi Sprite & kje

8:53 am

Hi T O

8:53 am

all you need is some feta cheese and anything can be greek (i have a big tub in the fridge at all times, thanks to costco)

8:54 am

good feta rocks. Bit of retsina during dinner and a bit of samos after dessert....

8:54 am

I like the Greek style potato salad that's usually part of it...different from the usual Southern style that I make

8:55 am

pens

8:55 am

you must leave early - the locals told me to sine, stroll, then leave, so i do do - avoid the fights

is it vinegat and oil based, tabby?

8:55 am

Morning friends

vinegar

8:55 am

well the big tub of crumbled feta that i get at costco might not qualify as good feta, but it is feta. that and tomatoes, of course...

8:56 am

hi Mr Bob

8:56 am

share the makings of this greek potato salad tabby

8:56 am

i buy a sheep's milk israeli feta at Central Market that is to die for

8:56 am

hey mr bob

8:56 am

morning mr bob

8:56 am

yummy!

8:56 am

I think they use lemon juice instead of vinegar

hello mr bob

8:57 am

i can't buy cheese that is to die for, kj, because when i do i eat the whole thing. can't resist

8:57 am

oh yeah, lemons in everything. very greek

8:57 am

yes, I can relate, dorens

8:58 am

have you had La Tur?

you are making me want to try a greek salad, have never had one.

8:58 am

do you like feta cheese owl?

8:59 am

I've never made it myself...only had it in restaurants. But here's a link

9:00 am

kj - my two most evil cheese right now are La Tur and Truffle Tremor. Exceedingly fattening and maddeningly delicious

9:01 am

Oops...couldn't make the link work. But you can google Greek potato salad and find lots of recipes.

thank you, tabby. doren i think feta is ok

9:02 am

i have a very good greek dressing recipe, but can't get to it now. will send it to you later if you like

9:02 am

i have discovered a longhorn cheddar that reminds me of the rat trap cheese we had in TX

9:02 am

cheese is a killer. I love it to bits and it is SO fat.

9:02 am

truffle tremor is awesome

9:02 am

good morning everyone:)

i am trying to use up the white stilton with cheddar i bought for holiday, it is too crumbly to eat out of hand

9:03 am

crossy :) *hugs*

9:03 am

oh wow, I forgot we had something called rat trap cheese growing up

9:03 am

can you believe my son gives it to his 5 year old daughter. (She loves it, but why should she eat $25 / pound cheese?)

9:03 am

you are right, ren... essentially would be like longhorn cheddar (which I have never seen outside of TX)

9:03 am

hey crossy

9:03 am

gotta raise their palates right, dorens!

9:04 am

owl, i eat that sort of thing messily, but alone, so no one sees it. but i scarf up every crumb

9:04 am

fireflies!

9:04 am

yay sprite, hi crossy

9:04 am

yaa for sprite!!

9:04 am

wooooohoooooo sprite!!!

9:19 am

Hmmmm....

I just got the 9 - let me think how to explain it and I'll get right back to you

9:20 am

now ,if i had the at 8,that would be a fine clue indeed;)))

9:20 am

Just found a big dog in the grid but Enable doesn;t like it because it's a name - sharpei

9:20 am

ty Sug

9:20 am

The 8 ends in what you lose when you get angry

at + he has a bad way about him + plural

9:21 am

ty molly

9:21 am

I thought it was something like that. ty Molly

9:21 am

ty Molly - got the 8 & 9 now - woo hoo

9:23 am

More Middle English : /

9:25 am

the to4 is driving me bonkers. monkeys should be able to find it but they can't :-(

9:26 am

9:26 am

9:28 am

1/4 pound of real butter,3 tbs of bacon dripping and crumble up 2 slices of crispy bacon into it..that is all mix well and refridgerate

9:28 am

Hi Hursh

9:28 am

9:28 am

9:29 am

9:29 am

we are on the same track today, Glant.

9:29 am

lolol

9:30 am

imagining bacon butter....

9:30 am

it is a spread,use it on what you wish,experiment,enjoy the love that is bacon;)

9:30 am

would be great to fry up some potatos

9:30 am

oh forgot to say ad a dash of honey into it

9:30 am

might be nice in a fried egg sandwich

9:30 am

or onions

9:30 am

now yer talking;)

9:30 am

or onions and potatos

9:31 am

anywhere you need bacon fast

9:31 am

could just spread it on savoury crackers...

9:31 am

can i get a clue for te 8

9:31 am

fired onions & potatoes in bacon butter definitely has a ring to it!

9:31 am

*fried

9:31 am

i have also tried it with adding 2 tbs of honey mustard and made a total spread out of it

9:32 am

Cheese toastie with bacon butter (toasted cheese sandwich)

9:32 am

thats the spirit glant:)

9:32 am

now crossy is hungry

9:32 am

oh, my

9:32 am

maybe too much fat in the toastie

9:33 am

yes,it would make a killer grilled cheese sarnie

9:33 am

don't have te 8 yet, cubs

9:33 am

but go light on it

9:33 am

oh! Fried mushroom sandwich!!! Or just fry mushrooms in the bacon butter - heaven

9:33 am

oooo

9:33 am

te7 is i think a kind of paint, and te8 is plural

9:34 am

have you ever eaten a bacon and fried mushroom sandwich Crossy? Preferably on hime made wholemeal bread... drool

9:34 am

ty Hursh

9:34 am

And the food porn flies once again.

9:35 am

te is an egg based paint as used by the Rennaissance masters

9:35 am

i have one for you glant,you take some toasted cheese bread add bacon and 5 year old apple wood smoked cheddar and romaine lettuce and spicy mayo

9:35 am

I quite like a bit of food porn - it's the only kind that's tasteful LOL

9:35 am

I never saw it spelled that way

9:35 am

now THAT is food porn:)

9:35 am

So funny! Glant

9:35 am

Crossy, you are leading me astray...

9:36 am

occupational hazard...

9:36 am

He is the master!

9:36 am

LOL

9:36 am

:))))

9:37 am

we make cheddar loaves here that comtain a 1/4 of cheese all by itself:)

9:37 am

1/4 pound

9:37 am

I tried your cheese bread recipe Crossy - it was wonderful

9:37 am

:))

9:38 am

all of which got me the te5 & 6 LOL

9:38 am

got it thnx glant

9:38 am

problem with making home made cheese bread is you have to make 3 at a time,two for regular use and one to be gobbled up fresh and hot by everyone the second it is done

9:39 am

crossy - there is only me here - I gobble a third while it's hot, save a third for regular use and slice and freeze the rest

9:39 am

hehe

9:40 am

one day i will share my onion/cheese/poppy seed bread;))

9:40 am

please

9:41 am

it may be illegal in some places:)))

9:41 am

I have been adding flax, sunflower, pumpkin, sesame seeds to my standard wholemeal just so it hads more trace nutrients

9:42 am

then there is the old sheep herders loaves with various meats baked into it

9:42 am

illegal because? causes dangerous drool puddles?

9:42 am

indeed

9:42 am

Never heard of meats being baked into bread...

9:42 am

drool flooding can be hazardous.

9:43 am

olives and subdried tomatoes work well though

9:43 am

yup,when i was young i often saw beef and or lamb baked into bread

9:43 am

Italians always bake meats into breads.

9:43 am

droolm flooding can be downright dangerous - extra slippery and if it freezes well, nobody would be safe LOL

9:43 am

now,sun dried tomato,s would be very nice

9:43 am

: D

9:43 am

Sun dried tomato and salami bread has a ring to it

9:44 am

food porn!!..lol now just need the aerosol cans of whipped cream lol

9:44 am

dare I ask...?

9:45 am

better not

9:45 am

Ooh, Crossy! We can dream.....

9:45 am

Please note that I onlym like gourmet food pron LOL not tacky food porn

9:45 am

what does the 9 start with?

9:45 am

somewhere i have an amazing recipie for a cheddar sweet onion loaf

9:45 am

see - you've made my typing go wonky at the thought

9:45 am

at9

9:45 am

starts with at

9:45 am

Glant is a classy broad.

9:45 am

pl of at8

9:46 am

ty

9:46 am

at + most of the te paint

9:47 am

Stomboli and calzone are both breads with meat baked into them. Both delicious.

9:47 am

which i then transferred to make cheddar/onion yorkie puds:)

9:47 am

I thought calzone was a kind of folded pizza

9:47 am

but them I suppose pizza is topped bread dough

9:48 am

yup

9:48 am

my daughter does fantastic yorkshire puds

9:48 am

left hand e anyone?

9:48 am

Hi Aloy

9:49 am

thats why bacon grease was traditional in the making of yorkies,the pans get crazy hot when you pre heat them with bacon grease

9:49 am

hi, all -- i need help with my last two. Anyone have the as or the first pe6?

9:49 am

Hi Aloy

9:49 am

you are being too cryptic for me Aloy

9:50 am

the males that clean out the fireplace for as6

9:50 am

sorry foam - neither

9:50 am

of course! ty, aloy!

9:50 am

ty Aloy, never knew that was a word!

9:50 am

the males that write with ink for the pe6

9:50 am

don't get it

9:50 am

Aloy, sometimes American commercials go over like a lead balloon here.

9:51 am

that one is so old, Molly.. haven't seen it in ages

9:51 am

and another of course!

9:51 am

ty for the writing males though

9:51 am

and another of course! and both are of course related

9:51 am

9:52 am

9:52 am

:)

9:52 am

i'm struggling an all the AR words

9:52 am

anyone looking for another clue?

9:52 am

yes i have the ph words but was wondering about the significance of aloy's remark - thought he'd been unwell or something

9:53 am

yw.. popping in to finish up.. did most of the grid at the flip.. congrats, foam, yay, wtg!!!

9:53 am

aloy's ph remark was very clever

9:53 am

i've just got it - the UK advert was plink plink ph4 - alka seltzer i think

9:54 am

YAY glant

9:54 am

homophone? don't think I spelled that right.. sounds the same.. lol, Giant.. whatever!

9:54 am

plop plop plink plink oh what a relief I think!

9:54 am

yes, a homophone -- the one in the grid is i think slang for a body part

9:54 am

used to advertise on new years day here

9:55 am

er, which body part?

9:55 am

homonym?

9:55 am

alka seltzer for sure with those weird looking guys.. what are they, elves?

9:55 am

Speedy Alka Seltzer was his name

9:56 am

mm..made the bacon butter,now i cannot waste the rest of this package,so will have to cook it now:))

9:56 am

oh, just one? yes, Speedy.. am rusty on my commercials from the past

9:57 am

don't forget the alka seltzer crossy LOL

9:57 am

we have the famous cpt of the nautilus and a famous race horse in here today

10:07 am

what is a colonial horse? a horse who expropriates land? lol

10:07 am

Hi all, my mind cannot cope today, I have NONE of the ar words at all. At ALL!!

3:34 pm

good afternoon all :)

3:34 pm

hi Pini

3:34 pm

hi lynxxx ;)

3:34 pm

Good aft Pinikula! It's evening time here in Ireland. Kids in bed.

3:34 pm

hey,Pini,long time no see

3:34 pm

hi all

3:34 pm

Hi Peri

3:34 pm

I have at8 and sh8, clue for the last one pls

3:34 pm

g'eve, Focal... new?

3:34 pm

hey peri ;)

3:35 pm

hi Peri

3:35 pm

New and stupid!

3:35 pm

<-- has been extremely busy and overy stressed...taking a breather today before it all picks up again in the a.m.

3:35 pm

never stupid, Focal...just catching up to the rest of us! :)

3:35 pm

not stupid Focal,just new, the more you play,the better you will get

3:35 pm

te8 off te7.36 - sounds almost like japanese batter

3:35 pm

good to see you Pini

3:36 pm

likewise, peri...

3:36 pm

...I keep trying to get here more often, but it hasn't been working like I'd wanted it to

3:36 pm

ty lynx,

3:36 pm

Well it's taken me a week to cop plurals!! But I am playing a couple of minutes here, a couple of minutes there.... I need to sit down for an hour or so and give it some wellie!

3:37 pm

well, there's a ton of assistance at any given time you're available to play, focal :)

3:37 pm

PERIwinkle...you're in the grid! :)

3:37 pm

so I am :)

3:37 pm

I know, it's a really friendly group of people. And an enjoyable scattering of complete nutcases too!!

3:37 pm

can I say that without seeing the inside of the PB?

3:38 pm

you hit the nail on the head, focal!

3:38 pm

Yes you can, Pini. cause I say so!

3:38 pm

* sigh of relief * thx Peri! :)

3:38 pm

:-)

3:39 pm

so, how has everyone been?

3:39 pm

good here

3:40 pm

good to hear, peri

3:41 pm

I had to move my office over break and winter term classes start tomorrow; I'm still trying to figure out where all my stuff is!

3:41 pm

..but the computer made it...that's a bonus

3:41 pm

hope you like your new space,pini

3:41 pm

Oh, and I have a new iPhone!

3:42 pm

good for you, marigold has one too, I just got another basic phone, which is all I really need. altho the iphone does look neat

3:42 pm

it's about 1/4 my previous office size, but I don't have a choice but continue to get it to work (i.e., have to order new furniture to replace the temp pieces, etc.)

3:43 pm

so disruptive to the daily grind when you have to move

3:43 pm

new furniture is good

3:43 pm

I'm loving it, Peri...I was going to go for a basic, but I can't see the screens and I have an iTouch...so the iPhone is visible and allows me to add the apps from the iTouch so I can give the iTouch to CamoBoy (instead of having him play with the phone!)

3:43 pm

so, it's kind of a win/win kinda thing

3:44 pm

:)

3:44 pm

I'm looking forward to ordering the new furniture if I could get a moment to sit down and review the quote

3:45 pm

now, I'm just looking into "must have" that friends have told me about...

3:45 pm

what is that?

3:45 pm

...there are a few that I'm definitely passing on, some are OK, and some I'm finding on my own

3:45 pm

oh, "must have" APPS

3:46 pm

oh

3:46 pm

(sorry, my bad for missing the important word there)

3:47 pm

you know that phrase "there's an app for that"...well, I'm finding it to be pretty true!

3:47 pm

just don't go too crazy with all the possibilities

3:48 pm

<-- more mature than my dau in that respect...she already has twice as many as me!

3:48 pm

(she got one, too)

3:51 pm

Hi pini and peri! Glad to see you.

3:51 pm

My apologies if I overtook the chog...Focal, are you still here? How are you coming along?

3:51 pm

hi stidgmere!

3:51 pm

hi Stidgmere - HNY!

3:52 pm

Hi lynxx.

3:52 pm

Focal are you beginning on Babble?

3:53 pm

We are well on our way to a HNY. Hope yours is developing nicely.

3:54 pm

I think Focal may have fallen asleep!

3:54 pm

(S/He is in Ireland)

3:54 pm

Sometimes a person just wanders away.

3:54 pm

<-- wanderer

3:55 pm

I resemble that remark! :)

3:55 pm

I tend to wander if the oven bell rings or I need to refill my water bottle.

3:57 pm

gads...I've been away for so long, having found only 54 words is exhausting...not sure I can possibly find another 104 in there!

afternoon Babblers! Hello Stidgmere, and Pinikula!

4:00 pm

4:01 pm

You must have had an interesting day red.

It was crazy, a lot of work, we had to be there at 1 am to get set up but yes, I had fun and I was well rewarded, with park tickets and stuff.

4:01 pm

How is the running going Red - are you up to 100% by now?

4:01 pm

nice, red! :)

4:02 pm

sounds like a fun day, red

I think I am at 100%, almost set a personal best in the 5K. thanks for asking Lynxxx. How are you and Stewie doing?

I enjoyed seeing all the elite runners go at 5:30 in the morning, it was cold!

DC that ratatouille looks good! sorry you can not eat it

4:03 pm

That's terrific Red. We are both well - about to go for morning stroll. Bye all!

4:23 pm

hi there pini

4:23 pm

*Wonders if Martha Stewart would ice fish with Welki*

4:24 pm

thanks, ru - i guess what i really meant is that i'd like a dose of martha stewart's team - to redecorate :)

4:24 pm

wonders if Welki would go to prison with Martha Stewart

4:24 pm

ru, know of any good 'wine' apps?

4:24 pm

Wine Apps?

4:24 pm

what do you mean?

4:24 pm

i'd draw the line at .... nevermind, ru :)

4:24 pm

appetizers?

4:24 pm

iPhone

4:25 pm

<---Is amazed that Welki wants her house to look like it just erped flowers and stencil print

4:25 pm

<---ruru is the best wine app

4:25 pm

but, ru...do you want me to put your phone number in my phone for the wine-moments?

4:26 pm

sure..I'll answer your call from anywhere

4:26 pm

most wine app people are dumbshits when it comes to wine any way..

4:26 pm

pini, i'm no afficianado, but a decent app for us regular folks is wine PhD

4:26 pm

<-- there ya go. case made.

4:26 pm

the writers of the apps I mean

4:27 pm

I was kinda thinkin' that, ru...about the apps...but I'll remember to hit you up here before I go out on a wine excersion to get your input! :)

4:27 pm

I understand people don't know where to go.. I really don't know much about the app thing

4:28 pm

thx welki ;)

4:29 pm

it's ok, ru...some of us will lead into the world of hi-tech and break ground for those who may or may not follow ;)

4:29 pm

Oh, did I see crossy in here??

4:29 pm

most of the writers of wine apps.. just go with common boring answers for things that are safe.. there's a lot more to it than that..

4:29 pm

Sorry

4:30 pm

* making note to contact ru for wine info *

4:30 pm

btw: what do you think about King Estate Wines?

4:30 pm

yep, he's here - he gave me BAGS of glitter covered pine cones ... now he has to make the trip to alberta to vacuum up the mess :)

4:30 pm

LOL

4:30 pm

ROFL

4:31 pm

howdy pini

4:31 pm

I know he's the officianado (sp) on eReaders...I think I recall saying I had Kindle on my laptop...

4:31 pm

I think the King Estate Pinot Gris is okay.. the other wines are kinda mass produced

4:31 pm

...well, now I have the Kindle app on my phone and they sync...so I can pick up where I left off on either device!

4:31 pm

wine is too complicated. gimme booze.

4:31 pm

hey crossy!

4:31 pm

The Pinot Gris is pretty good with food

4:31 pm

very nice:)

4:31 pm

That's the one I like, ru...so I feel better now

4:33 pm

<---pini.. self-made wine app

4:33 pm

i am with you welki,win e is good for pallets and note and essances,give me booze that flames when lit and can be used a a paint remover or run a small engine in an emergency lol

4:33 pm

"Good with food"...is that a deep wine compliment?

4:33 pm

* grin *

4:33 pm

i like the late justin wilson's take on wine: (paraphrased" If I likes it, I drinks it."

4:33 pm

*tosses a few more glittered pine cones at Molly*

4:34 pm

ru...when you give yourself an icon I can put into my iphone so I can press once to reach you...well, you just let me know! :)

4:34 pm

*Puts a little nativity scene, made out of turkey bones on Ru's non-Christian doorstep*

4:34 pm

Actually.. Pinot Gris is way more versatile than Chardonnay or Sauvignon Blanc.. it can cover a lot of bases with a variety of food.

4:34 pm

i like booze where you have to poun d the empty shot glass on the table for a few seconds till you regain your composure:0

4:35 pm

or your sight..

4:35 pm

ROFL

4:35 pm

wooo .. jet fuel, crossy!

4:35 pm

The Three Wise Wishbones are really cute Molly

4:36 pm

*Sprinkles little Ivory Snow snowflakes around the Nativity scene*

4:36 pm

just found what i think was justin wilson's quote: "The best wine is one you like to drink"

4:36 pm

*sings the Little Drumstick Boy*

4:36 pm

<---never seen a manger and Lamb made out of Turkey bones before

4:37 pm

Justin Wilson was amazing. "A little wine for the re-cee-pee, a little wine for the cook"

4:37 pm

oooooooouuuuu-eeeeee

4:38 pm

Stuffing night ... silent Night.. all is stuffed.. all is right

4:38 pm

<---not up on my xmas songs

4:38 pm

speaking of quotes i have been remiss,so here is crossy,s quote of the day!

4:39 pm

The cable had passed us by; the dish was the only hope, and eventually we were all forced to turn to it. By the summer of '85, the valley had more satellite dishes per capita than an Eskimo village on the north slope of Alaska. Mine was one of the last to go in. I had been nervous from the start about the hazards of too much input, which is a very real problem with these things. Watching TV becomes a full-time job when you can scan 200 channels all day and all night and still have the option of punching Night Dreams into the video machine, if the rest of the world seems dull. -- Hunter Thompson, "Full-time scrambling", _Generation of Swine_

4:40 pm

ok...off to run errands...

4:41 pm

...good to see y'all next time...have a great day!!! ;o)

4:41 pm

4:53 pm

ty welki, got the words

4:54 pm

*taking pie out of oven*

4:55 pm

and now time to make a meat loaf - adios, babbleros!

4:56 pm

*Driving to Welki's for meatloaf and pie*

5:45 pm

Good Evening Everybody. I see that Pini was here and I've just missed her; where has she been so long?

5:46 pm

<---Not in charge of watching Pini this week : )

5:48 pm

I'm sure no one is in charge of Pini this week; Molly. She'd be a tough one to be in charge of! ;-) I've just missed seeing her around since we've played Babble together for so long

5:49 pm

ANd that would be some road trip for meatloaf and pie; pick me up on your way through!

5:49 pm

She seems to be here on a more infrequent basis. Life must be busy.

5:50 pm

And I don't play so late at night as much these days either. SO I guess my missing her is partly my fault...

5:50 pm

does anyone have the em6?

5:51 pm

Star Wars: The em6 Strikes Back

6:42 pm

6:42 pm

6:43 pm

was berke breathed actually gary trudeau?

6:43 pm

I have many questions

6:44 pm

Berkley Breathed is still alive and kicking. I actually got a thank you note from him when I sent him a get well card after his accident. AND...my farewell to "Bloom County" was published on the op-ed page of The Washington Post.

6:44 pm

woo molly you rock

6:45 pm

I had a roommate for awhile who was Steve Dallas personified

6:45 pm

I am a die hard fan. I still have "Bloom County" withdrawal from time to time.

6:45 pm

6:48 pm

Go harry go

I am watching Jennifer Hudson on Dateline

what a life

6:49 pm

I guess the magazine story is top secret, hush hush.

6:50 pm

what?? Tenth isn't a word?????

6:50 pm

oh,,, nm

6:50 pm

readinig back in the chog. i just watched all of season one downton abbey this weekend too, very happy to see season one tonite.. it's on pbs, kap

6:50 pm

not in this grid

6:50 pm

heh

No- there is a word find puzzle second to the crossword. It says finding 50 5 letter words in their grid is genius level, but I am so used to monkeying random words and having them work, that I don't know if I am a genius or a monkey.

6:50 pm

love period soap operas like that.. anything british, i guess

I have 45 but I don't know if they're all words

6:51 pm

And all this time I thought it was Downtown Abbey

6:52 pm

3

I watched 3 on Friday and 1 yesterday. The British version is longer but on PBS they edited out some of the legamisms about estates because they thought Americans wouldn't get it

6:52 pm

so did i moll

6:52 pm

<---Not much for Brit TV

6:53 pm

they might be right,.. i didn't really get the whole "entail" or whatever they were talking about, but understand enough to follow the plot. sort of in love with matthew i think

Oh, he's sooo cuuuuuute.

6:55 pm

this is really a shameless rip off of the old upstairs downstairs, but that's ok with me. it makes me feel like i'm under thirty again

6:55 pm

last word...clue for me7? I think i have the first part...but can't get the suffix

6:56 pm

ends like pro*****.. bacteria, phyllum, something like that

6:56 pm

Suffix starts with z, sounds like feathery neck piece

6:56 pm

ty molly

6:56 pm

and dorens

6:56 pm

this was a fun grid

6:57 pm

c u later !

6:57 pm

you're welecome harry.

6:58 pm

grid was okay today. i was down to 20 or so that i couldn't find at all... then when i listed i didn't even have to look back at the grid.. just filled them all in. nice when it's like that

I adored Upstairs Downstairs, and it echoes all the time- but it's OK. I miss Hudson. But the new one is for now- I can but it's nice to have a new one go back and watch things I used to love over and over-

what do you do for work Dorens (was looking at yr profile)

7:02 pm

i'm a school counselor. very varied (K -8). mostly enjoyable

7:03 pm

i kept missing mrs. hudson too. this cook just doesn't seem right.

7:03 pm

I'm a little queasy. The Denver/Pittsburgh game has just gone into overtime. My hate for Pittsburgh grows exponentially.

This g

It was Mrs Bridges.

She never married Hudson, did she?

7:04 pm

oh of course.. as i wrote that it didn't look right. Hudson was the butler.. this butler is okay tho.

Lady Marjorie went down in the Titanic, remember?

7:04 pm

i think at the end we were sort of aware that they might, but i could be making that up

7:04 pm

yes... odd that this one begins with the titanic

James and Georgina...I cried when the series ended

Did you watch the 3 episode update?

7:05 pm

felt like they were part of the family

7:05 pm

No i totally missed it.. hope i'll catch it sometime.. this new one has me hankering for the old

HERE's a trivia question- on Downton, the scene with the prize roses is exactly from an old movie I just watched with my husband- I think with Bette Davis, I can't recall-

7:05 pm

funny also that the scullery maid always being yelled at is daisy too

but we were watching and I said "I have seen this story somewhere before."

No- that was Ruby. Unless there was also a Daisy.

7:06 pm

oh gosh, i don't remember my bette davis movies at all. haven't watched the old films in a long long time

7:06 pm

yes. that WAS ruby. but there was a daisy... alfred was sweet on her, wasn't he?

My mother used to watch Upstairs Downstairs- it is one of my later memories of my mother...

7:07 pm

i really have such a muddled memory. ruby, daisy, mrs bridges, mrs. hudson. then how old were you when the series was on kap?

My mom died 28 years ago this January 12, which means I had my mother for exactly as long as I have not had her (1984)

7:08 pm

ah. i am sorry

I'm definitely over it! Except every Jnuary. 28 is too young to lose a 60 year old mother- we had not resolved any of our difficulties.

7:09 pm

DENVER WON!!!!!!! WHOO HOO!!!!!

I watched it again in the 80s when I met my husband. (Pause to cheer). We didn't have a vcr so I had to be home for all the reruns

7:09 pm

i just heard a whoo hoo from downstairs too molly

7:10 pm

why is it that everyone hates pittsburgh so much?

My mother watched the Waltons when I watched "An American Family"- quite a difference

7:11 pm

an american family? the louds?

This chog has at least 7 conversation lines at the moment. I am communing with Dorens and Upstairs Downstairs. Yeah, the Louds.

7:11 pm

If anyone cares, Denver just beat Pittsburgh in overtime.

7:11 pm

Because The Steelers have spent WAY too much time in The Super Bowl. It's fresh to see other teams get a chance.

The first reality show, and weird 70's documentary.

Pittsburgh schmittsburg.

7:12 pm

Champ missed my loud cheering below.

7:12 pm

Sorry Molly...I was bummed. Looked like Big Ben woke up, but Tebow was on a roll!

7:13 pm

exactly kap, i was thinking about it recently... all this reality tv is such garbage... that really was reality (or as close to it as you ould get)

7:13 pm

well, we are giants fans here..so sort of excited that they've made it this far

Lance Loud in the Chelsea hotel was a true example of New York culture in the 70s- downtown.

He died of AIDS and crystal meth.

We will have to have this conversation in the parlor- there is too much cheering in the rec room.

7:15 pm

yes i remember seeing an update sometime in the last deade or so

7:15 pm

ok. i have to go anyway. later all

Nice chatting with ya

7:16 pm

Champ, Tebow has been touched by the football Gods.

7:16 pm

*Mental note: Do not post about my intense hatred for The Giants when Doren is around*

7:17 pm

lol...

7:17 pm

haha. it's ok. i don't really care about football at all. it is just that others around here do. so hate away, moll

7:17 pm

*Fluffs up Elway jersey to wear to work tomorrow*

7:17 pm

I am so glad the Steelers lost.. I can't stand Ben Rothesberger.. thug and creep

7:18 pm

oh good. another reason to hate the steelers.. and yes, he is

7:18 pm

Amen Ru. Did you see that last play? That will go down in football history.

7:18 pm

just adds to the Tebow legend .. unbelievable

7:19 pm

Miley Cyrus can throw the ball better then him, but he still has something special to win.

7:20 pm

My ex, who passed two years ago, was a HUGE Broncos fan. This was an especially sweet win for me. : )

7:20 pm

I'm glad they won too.. all the NFL talking heads are going to be talking all week about this one

7:23 pm

it's amazing Rothesberger isn't in jail.

7:24 pm

I agree Ru and I hate seeing him being a sports idol for young kids.

7:25 pm

... if it walks like a duck.. and quacks like a duck..well.......

7:25 pm

did doren leave?

7:25 pm

It's a duckin' ufck

7:26 pm

oopsy!.. *says three Hail Mary's*

7:27 pm

Guessing Molly hit one of those Wine Apps today...lol

7:27 pm

Oh, are we going to get all holy now? Now wine apps. Don't do wine, don't do apps.

7:28 pm

... ahem.. I think it was you who brought up religion earlier..lol

7:28 pm

8:32 pm

hi stiddy

8:33 pm

hey LBD, how about this summer weather we're having!

8:33 pm

we actually got some snow today!! not much mind you, and it's already gone, but snow nonetheless

8:35 pm

wow. the white stuff! good for you! maybe we'll see some this year, too. Seems strange that only a few years ago I was whining about having too much snow, and this year I am whining about all the warm, dry weather. But these wild variances from normal range confuse my plants and the animals, and they are very distressing.

8:36 pm

i know what you mean about the crazy weather. there has been grassfires over on the east side of the mountains already. not a good sign

8:38 pm

same here stidmama,last year we had over 7 feet of natural snowfall by mid december,this year is is but 3 inches of mushy slop

8:38 pm

well, younger stidkid needs to try to take an online quiz for school. back later if I can -- teaching TWO days in a row for the same teacher starting tomorrow, at one of my favorite schools. Very excited, a little nervous, but actually pleased to get to try something new, too. See you-all soon! ((((cross)))) ****choclits and cookies for all**** *poof*

My ex-husband had a very sh5/14 te6/24.My life was in pe5/12 the whole time we were together.He would physically ha 4/6 me. He would sh5/18 me around. He would bite me with his te5/12. He was jealous and he called me a ho4/5 because he thought I was cheating on him. He was so paranoid,he would ho4/8r over me whenever I was on the phone with someone to see if I was talking with another guy.My ex always believed I was making secret plans to me 4/5 another guy. He was very volatile and he th5/20 things in our ho 4/6. During one of his rages, my ex tried to stick my head in the ov 4/7 while it was on. I really wanted to leave him and mo 4/8 out & re4/4 an apartment, however, I was afraid if I atte5/14ed to do that,he'd catch me and kill me. Also, I took an oa 4/5 to love him through good times and bad times.I decided to be with him pe 4/6anently no matter what.Then one night I heard si 6/18 outside my house. The cops came to my door to tell me that he had pe6/24ed while drinking & driving Ne4/8 of his death actually brought tears to my eyes I we 4/9 not because he had died, but because I was happy to be free of him. Husband just wrote me a me 4/6 that he wants computter.I am going to go watch the movie The Em 6/24 Strikes Back. I'll see you later.

just since the end of December,, my sister found this site for me

10:36 pm

Thanks so much, gemini, mab and torgone

10:36 pm

this is a very addictive game; but it's better to go pro (pay the one time fee) before you lose the stats info (after 2 weeks, I believe)

10:37 pm

did you finish yet, peach?

10:37 pm

no,, I won't pay,,,,

10:37 pm

what stats? the lickety babble?

10:37 pm

No, Hon, I still have 17 to go.

Okay, but after a certain period of time the number of words in the grid disappear

10:38 pm

the stats at the bottom?

10:39 pm

well darn,,, that will spoil my fun

10:39 pm

I have 55 left and am sure there aren't any more

10:40 pm

you don't know how many there were to start with?

10:40 pm

yep; the stats at the bottom. But you can still play; Lickety and the people who clue in chat will still be here
