hi swmbo

12:40 am

wow -- swmbo's here!!! Hi!

12:40 am

*blush*

12:40 am

How are you Jilli?

12:40 am

melon can you give us the first 2 letters of your icon clue?

12:40 am

Is there a Yiddish word in the grid?

su

12:41 am

I'm ok, sort of, swmbo -- healing a broken ankle

as in empty su———

12:41 am

we're more like iced in

12:41 am

I'm still missing the A, may I have stats please

12:41 am

Oh no! That can't be fun!

yes there is swmbo

at4/4

12:42 am

our oldest daughter moved to Seattle to get away from the snow...surprise !

12:42 am

oh heck! thanks melon

12:42 am

ROFL west!

harrumph! it is about time feely be accepted as a word.

12:42 am

at least it won't last, west

no prob, flosey

12:43 am

I don't think of Seattle as a place to go to to get away from the snow. True, they don't have snow often.. but if you're replacing snow, why replace it with wet?LOL

12:43 am

So, getting back to the Yiddish word, any clues???

12:43 am

so finally, nbt & nbs

12:43 am

sneak around sh5

12:43 am

yup. sl6/24 here!

12:43 am

laze around sh 5

m9, CLE had record rainfall by 11" this year. If we had better coffee and skeezier bands WE could be Seattle.

12:44 am

Ruby has a guy who does that for her

12:44 am

quick nbt

12:44 am

Got it! THANKS!

12:44 am

wtg m

12:45 am

does what for her?

12:45 am

is ther yiddish word- to carry around unwillingly?

12:45 am

but you have thin chili on spaghetti. right?

12:45 am

he sh5/14

12:45 am

I'm confused -- is the Yiddish word su or sh?

that would be Cincinnati.

yiddish is sh, my icon is su

12:45 am

I think he does it willingly though

12:46 am

sh jilli

12:46 am

yeah I know. so what does CLE have??

12:46 am

I think I got your icon melonhead, very apt!!!

12:46 am

ok, ty melon, got them finally

12:46 am

and ty rurutoo

12:46 am

I lived in Cincy.. everyone raved about skyline chili. I just don't get it I guess.

but they did open a Skyline in Cleveland. I got my MM at UC, where I learned to eat 3-way, 4-way, and 5-way chili. 4-way was my fave.

12:47 am

I keep seeing flesh (no, ruru, not really)

It's the spices, m9. Allspice, clove, and the beef is ground super fine and not browned. The spaghetti was regular (not thin) if I recall.

12:47 am

so what are those numbered chilis?

12:48 am

O, I C

12:48 am

i ma a cjili- hater... have made it at least once a month for the last 55 years though and they all like it.. i can tell its ok by the smell.. my kids were in their thirties before they r4ealised that i never ate it

12:48 am

I actually thought it was rather disgusting.

3-way = chili over spachetti + raw chopped onion, 4-way = that + cheese, and you add beans to make it 5-way.

12:49 am

oh my goodness

12:49 am

Hmm -- those chilis sound weird

12:49 am

*covers up for jilli*

I used to joke that I was going to open a borsht parlor, 3-way is with sour cream, 4-way + egg, 5-way, all that + cucumber. Nobody thought it would fly.

12:49 am

I do not like chilli OR spaghetti, I do not like them Sam I am

12:50 am

I think that sounds nummy!! I'd go to a borsht parlor!

they're different all right, jilli (the Cinci chilis). Very local.

12:50 am

now I could go for the borsht

12:50 am

gosh.. it's been a long time since I've had a 3 way

12:50 am

there was a russian place across from my work when I lived in Seattle. Lovely perogi (or however you spell it)

12:50 am

open it up and I'll be there

12:50 am

chili.. that is

12:50 am

borsht is goood

12:51 am

Ru couldn't resist, could ya?

12:51 am

not for nothing..seattle is in the grid

12:51 am

:D

12:51 am

I keep trying to like perogies, but haven't succeeded yet.

my borsht is good. I roast the beet bottoms, make broth with the greens. dice the bottoms and add to the broth, season with salt, sugar, and something sour(lemon juice, vinegar, or my preferred sour salt (citric acid))

so it is!

12:51 am

how about bao jilli?

12:51 am

Hey There Melon -- send me that recipe.

12:51 am

oh yum, melon!

12:51 am

whoot! You're right. cool

12:51 am

perogies are too greasy to me

12:52 am

hi arb

12:52 am

bao?

12:52 am

Shalom Everyone.

12:52 am

chinese steamed buns with filling

12:52 am

hi ARB

12:52 am

look who sh5'd in

12:52 am

hello ARB

12:53 am

What a welcome!

Shalom ARB! I'm about to hit the hay, working girl that I am these days.

12:53 am

hi

m9 I love steamed sweet bean buns (and I love to say that 3 times fast;)

12:54 am

I just love buns in general

12:54 am

So, laila tov, Melon. Do send me the recipe when you have time.

12:54 am

never had baos, m9 -- for shame!

12:54 am

Whenever we go to the Portland area we go to Uwajimaya and hope they have purple yam bao.

12:55 am

here he goes...

12:55 am

I'm sure you do Ru.

12:55 am

I would think if you steamed buns it would be hard for the person to sit for a while

12:55 am

swmbo.. spaghetti is another matter... i am the pasta queen of the heights.. can make it at least 50 different eays.. probably a hundred-lol

borsht? I don't do a recipe, but look down the chat log. Beets, bottoms roasted, tops made into broth, dice the bottoms, season salt, sugr, and citric acid (sour salt). Dill weed. Sour cream. don't wear your best white outfit when eating.

12:56 am

hi smom

12:56 am

hi hil.. hows the ankle?

12:56 am

jil

12:56 am

yeah.. that's the way I cook too.

12:56 am

I make what I am told is great spaghetti, I just don't much like anything with pasta, weird, eh?

sammysmom, do you ever go to Geracis? They are down the street from me.

12:57 am

Todah

12:57 am

ankle's aching just now, darnit.

b'vakashah!

12:57 am

My daughter makes a wonderful summer soup, root vegetables and kielbasa she cooks the beets separately and then adds them in.

12:57 am

like geraci's........ but we are so used to our own cooking that we dont get take out much... they are pretty good though

Same here, sometimes I just don't want to cook. I love that you can get a side of sauteed mushrooms there.

OK, now to bed. laila tov, all. {poof}

12:58 am

sounds delish m..how is she doing?

12:59 am

one of the nurses at the clinic told me that she makes a beeet soup with prunes. might try it.. sounds pretty good.. probably noone will try it but me-lol

12:59 am

great! just a couple weeks now

12:59 am

so excited for you

1:00 am

sammys I love prunes..always have

1:01 am

1:14 am

kind of icy in places.

1:14 am

hello, all. anyone finished yet?

1:14 am

we have been so lucky this year if you don't count Irene and our Halloween snow storm

1:14 am

we had an ice storm like this about 13 years ago in Astoria, OR and trees were breaking.. we were without power that time for a few days

1:14 am

i understand most of it should melt in the coming days, m9?

1:14 am

hi, grannyrose

1:15 am

oh yeah.. won't stay long.

1:15 am

hi rose ..not by a long shot here

1:15 am

I just want it to melt somewhat slowly.. so my basement doesnt' flood

1:15 am

hey dcs, m9, westy

1:15 am

and it needs to go away so I can drive the 10 hours to Rexburg!

1:16 am

our basement flooded so often in westford that I got a pair of hip waders from ebay

1:16 am

1:18 am

Hi people.

1:24 am

evening, neil

1:24 am

hello neil

Hi Seain.

Hi again westford.

1:25 am

Hi Neil.

Hi Mary. What about logging into Goodreads? ;)

I'm thinking you have some adds there.

1:26 am

Goodreads?

1:26 am

so many good endings for a GN in this grid.

Ummm yeah... you have an account there.

1:26 am

GN?

I added you and so did a few other people.

1:27 am

1:27 am

oh. I think I made an account there once a long time ago.

Looks like it.

1:28 am

Sigh. reading.. LOL

1:31 am

i looked at Infinite Jest on my shelf, trying to decide if i want to give it another go, or pick up where i left off, or what.

1:32 am

a friend who loved it loaned me it. Took me a month to get through the 1st chapter, after starting over halfway through because i was confused.

1:32 am

Ah.. I keep doing that with A Tale of Two Cities.

1:32 am

i enjoyed Tale of Two Cities.

1:33 am

i gave up forever on Dune after the 4th attempt.

1:33 am

I enjoyed the Dune series.

1:33 am

But I had time to devote to reading when I read Dune. I tried to read Tale of Two Cities when I didn't have the time.

1:33 am

And it kept getting mislaid.

1:33 am

How many words today please

1:34 am

You might find Tale reads better aloud. Most Tolstoy and Joyce read better alound.

1:34 am

157, gran

1:34 am

Thanks

1:35 am

ah. I really don't have time for that!LOL I did read something aloud recently though. Wanna hear it?

1:35 am

shis

1:35 am

(and i know Tale is neither of those, just much old lit reads better out loud in my experience)

1:35 am

dare we, m9 :)

1:37 am

it's clean!!LOL It's the book Aiden made for Gage for Christmas.

1:37 am

oh, cool! :)

I'm guessing there's a list already somewhere?

Oh. Just wondering if one would be needed?

1:38 am

I saw that ..it's so nice. I wondered if it was you or Aiden reading it..you have a lovely voice.

1:38 am

1:38 am

Thanks West

Ok I'll do one then. I'm good thanks grannyrose... and how are you?

1:59 am

now that i'm free-associating historical events to the grid, maybe i should try again to sleep :)

2:00 am

Hi all

Hi diem.

2:04 am

hi, diem

Oh that dish of ratatouille looks delish Seain.

But I love green peppers and tomato cooked together like that... fortunately neither disagree.

2:08 am

i am very much in the minority on disliking ratatouille and green bell peppers in any form. :)

Yep. I'd guess you probably are.

They're one of my favorite vegetables.

But I think they're actually a fruit?

Heard or read that somewhere.

2:11 am

they are indeed a fruit :)

2:11 am

when ripe, i have no issue, but green they taste awful and upset my GI tract.

Oh, ok.

Oh yeah?

Even when cooked? Wow.

I love stuffed peppers.

Need a good recipe for those.

2:13 am

i'll send you my grandmother's recipe, we stew them like cabbage rolls.

2:13 am

i'll do that after i've slept to guarantee accurate transcription of recipe :)

Oh thanks Seain. :) That would be great.

I love cabbage rolls too... so if you have one for that send it along by all means.

2:15 am

on a separate note, good bicycle safety info for both bikers and drivers from Arlington County, Virginia: http://tinyurl.com/6qu4jr4

2:15 am

will do, neil :)

2:15 am

i'll even throw in my brussels sprouts rif on cabbage rolls

so, i'm going to try to sleep some.

good night/day and happy babbling, yall! {poof}

Sleep well Seain... on my way to do that too.

6:33 am

6:35 am

6:38 am

{{lynxx, aloy, kaplan}}

I just need the airfare. My husband is trying to get me to go Israel to see his parents, but I won't go unless by way of a place I actually want to go to.

6:38 am

know what you mean, ruby.. your whole routine gets upset

6:39 am

this was a two-day siege which felt like the siege of Leningrad!!

6:39 am

Good day to all.

6:39 am

( by way of Annecy -- or even Geneva or Paris)

6:39 am

hi Scrabbler (-:

6:39 am

And it's Free Clue Friday!

6:40 am

lol, I put some biscotti in the PB

6:40 am

And my nutso autistic dog gets very upset and this dope kept trying to go up and make friends with him. How stupid.....

6:40 am

Almond, I hope. *sprinting to PB*

6:41 am

6:41 am

did I do something? Two days without babble.... how soon we forget

6:41 am

ty scrabs, that got me started. I'm frazzled

6:41 am

no, ruby.. Scrabbler started off in fine fettle by typing two words into the chog

6:41 am

*washing down biscotti with coffee*

6:41 am

and I almost did a booboo, gerund form tho

6:42 am

mmm might make some on the weekend, not quite as fattening as other cake/biscuits

6:42 am

TY

6:42 am

fa5/20? Seriously? This puzzle just makes up it's own words.

6:42 am

{{molly}}

6:42 am

hi there Molly

6:42 am

Hi Molly

6:42 am

would somebody please send me some calmants or put them in the PB?

6:42 am

Good Morning everyone. Happy Friday!

6:43 am

What is a calmant?

6:43 am

opposite of a stimulant methinks

6:43 am

a relaxed picnic pest?

6:43 am

*Air mailing Xanex to Ruby*

6:43 am

lol lynxxx!

6:43 am

like camomile tea or, even better, Xanax!

6:44 am

<-- loves Molly

6:44 am

True, Lynxxx.

6:46 am

nice ious ending in the grid.. haven't found a beginning for those letters tho

6:48 am

Aw, my bunny is stretched out on her belly--feet straight back, head down. She's so happy.

6:49 am

I playe 12 games of scrabble with this woman and she won one, fair and square, but when I helped her win one (as I'm not that competitive), she pumped her fist into the sky

6:49 am

Not!

6:49 am

I want a bunny!!

6:49 am

Ruby, you know the truth.

6:50 am

(-: do your bunnies enjoy being patted?

6:50 am

Guess, what I am adopting a rescue bunny next week. His name is Pancakes so I must decide on a new name.

6:50 am

I am trembling with suppressed anger, but, at least, husband had some time with his old friend

6:50 am

Bunnies LOVE being patted/stroked around ears, on forehead and down to nose.

6:51 am

male or female, scrabs?

6:51 am

you need an outlet, ruby.. what can you do ? bang some pots? take a walk?

6:51 am

*Makes Ruby a martini and calls the spa to make full body massage appointment*

6:51 am

Ruby, let it go. It's a game. You know the truth.

6:51 am

chows love having their ears compressed, sounds similar

6:52 am

Pancakes is a very cute name...happy you are getting another bunny Scrabs

6:52 am

Male, neutered, 3 yrs old, brown mini-Lop. Family needs spare room for daughter moving back and doesn't want bunny now. I could never give a bunny away.

6:52 am

ah, then it must be mutually enjoyable as bunny fur is so soft

6:52 am

will spend the afternoon flat on my back in front of the fire. I hope it was worth it for husband...

6:53 am

I am not into cutesy names for my pets. My hang-up.

6:53 am

how about (very boring) Peter

6:53 am

who drank my coffee? .. brb..

6:53 am

close to Pancake

6:53 am

I had a Peter Rabbit 10 yrs ago--a French Lop. Sweetheart.

6:54 am

Peter the II ?

6:54 am

Pauly Pancake?

6:54 am

second.. didn't look like roman numerals

6:54 am

Pietro?

6:54 am

I had a temporary maid during the dummer who heard me call Ruby, Poopy< and thought it was her namd. IO didn't have ghe heart to disaffect her, and Ruby didn't know the difference

6:54 am

Haha

6:55 am

how about Peter Poopy Rabbit

6:57 am

Occasionally all of my bunnies are called Poopybutt.

6:57 am

How about qu5.18 !

6:57 am

I think that those of us who clean after our (much-loved) animals, call them poopy at one time or another

6:58 am

I have yet to find a Q.

6:58 am

and searching for a q....

6:58 am

found a q5/16

You are on a qu for a q.

6:59 am

and plural

Hershey would be an appropriate name for him if he is a rich chocolaty brown

7:07 am

He looks mostly brown in photo, with darker snout.

7:07 am

so disappointing when you find a word and it is not accepted....stoush and stoushes NZ/Australian slang for a fight

7:38 am

Good morning everyone! Welcome xeiluj

And she thought this overweight body would be a good thing to bare from the waste up? Yeesh.

7:40 am

that is wonderful news

7:40 am

Good morning ((Peri))

7:40 am

how is Zoe this morning?

7:41 am

I am probably not a nice person, but babblers come on down, just keep your tops on!!!!!

7:41 am

hi Mom, zoe anne just had a little bit of her meds in some food. would not eat any food yest with meds in it.

7:41 am

[draws warm tub for Ruby, lights scented candles, draws the shades, places a glass of wine by the tub....]

7:41 am

getting into tub, ty car.

7:41 am

Oh Peri! Zoe is sick?!?!? I have not been here for a bit...

7:41 am

really needs to eat more of the food tho. there is only half of a pill inthere. she keeps whining for more treats to put ontop

7:42 am

Hi ((Mom and peri)))

7:42 am

cream cheese, peri?

7:42 am

peri, i have great luck with Pill Pockets.

7:42 am

ah, they know how to tug at us, Peri

7:42 am

yes care, she has a bladder and a kidney infection. think she has had one or both for quite some time.

she looks and acts fine but the blood work says otherwise

7:42 am

(((Annie))) good morning

7:43 am

pill pockets did not work the last time and baby food did not work last night

7:43 am

((((Zoe Anne ))))

7:43 am

Ruby, her behavior is ten shades of inappropriate. People like that need to be exiled to some island where they can all live (offensively) together.

7:43 am

Ugh. How frustrating.

7:43 am

my first chow used to walk away with the "chewable" pill and 15 minutes later, would drop it in another room

7:43 am

peri, has Zoe Anne lost much weight?

7:43 am

8:10 am

got the 6 and 8 and ty 7 x 2

8:11 am

halfway - time for breakfast

8:20 am

Hello All

8:22 am

I'm back .... got sidetracked talking to my sweetie

8:22 am

Hi Hego

8:22 am

and hurshy and wvteach

8:22 am

good morning , all

8:22 am

((mom))

8:22 am

Hi Nan

8:22 am

Early start for me today -- awakened by the garbage truck serenade

8:22 am

((Hego))

8:22 am

hi Nan

8:23 am

thanks for the ty 6 and 8 Hurshy

8:24 am

and the 7

8:24 am

grabbed that clue.

8:24 am

a good one

8:25 am

have ty 7 x2, but don't see a 6-8

8:26 am

I want phlesh to be a word

8:26 am

Am I following this conversation right? An adjective of the ty disease?

I want typeless to be a word

8:26 am

nan - for the ty 6 - take away one of the vowels in second ty 7

8:26 am

yes, Molly

8:27 am

Nan, a disease two letter combo sounding like F and you and me are **

8:27 am

lol Fish

8:27 am

after the ty .... my clues leave a lot to be desired

8:27 am

hi fish

afternoon all

8:27 am

have that as a 7 -- must have to drop a letter

8:28 am

eatless should be a word

8:28 am

it would go with the fa 7

8:28 am

as?

8:29 am

ty mo

8:29 am

NM

8:29 am

you're welcome nan

8:30 am

I guess I've never considered that ending as an adjective form. I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed.

8:30 am

and plural the ty 6 for the 8

wonder why you can't plural the ty7 the same way

8:31 am

it's an adjective, I think

8:31 am

I think both ty 7's are adjectives

8:32 am

there are 2?

8:32 am

Hmmm....

8:34 am

I wouldn't know Nan, I can't find a definition for either one of them.

8:34 am

stuck at 110 -- think I will go in search of a list

8:35 am

lickety up

8:36 am

Hmm, Lickety has been up for me all morning. I am so confused today.

8:37 am

what's wrong Molly?

8:38 am

that's better -- ty hego

8:38 am

Does anyone know why lists get posted at BabAnon when Lickety is working?

8:38 am

yw

8:38 am

good question

8:39 am

think I missed every letter of the alphabet

8:39 am

I think they are posted by the late night crowd before mrp does her thing

8:41 am

Kindle has a feature that gives you the definition of any word in the text at the push of a button.

8:41 am

I am loving it.

8:43 am

I like that Kindle feature too, Hego.

8:43 am

a few manufactured words in here

8:43 am

So nice to hear someone say something good about Kindle here, for a change.

8:43 am

It's great Molly

8:44 am

Mine goes everywhere with me.

8:46 am

hi jbv

8:46 am

hi hego

8:47 am

that is a good clue. ty

8:47 am

that kindle feature would be great for me if they had an italian dictionary - would save me a lot of online looking up :)

8:47 am

2 of our babblers actually, Lisa

8:48 am

Are you reading Italian?

8:48 am

that are on right now?

8:48 am

of course, I'd have to get a kindle first, which I don't think i'm going to do

8:48 am

I only have cookbooks in Italian.

8:48 am

No, Lisa, Not now

8:48 am

yes, hego, I've immersed myself in Italian literature - 20th and 19th century - I'm taking courses at the university

8:49 am

I can read a bit, but would need a dictionary also.

8:49 am

I also read the italian newspapers online

8:50 am

the best online dictionary is at www.wordreference.com

8:50 am

do you know it?

8:50 am

I'm more interested in speaking.

8:50 am

I'm more interested in speaking.

8:50 am

I have several dictionaries.

8:50 am

Bon journo, Babblini!

8:50 am

Hi Judi

8:50 am

me too, that's why I took the course, I had no one to speak Italian to at all, so this gives me at least two days a week of conversation

8:50 am

ha ha finally got it!

8:50 am

hi judi - there's a little bit of french in there, too :)

8:50 am

bon giorno to you too.

8:51 am

8:51 am

I only get to speak when I go there.

8:51 am

Whatever - I'm an American. I screw everything up.

8:52 am

Maybe I should take a course. good idea.

8:52 am

It's all rooted in Latin.

8:52 am

I hope this will be myyear to travel - I may need your advice when the time comes....

8:52 am

i'm taking it as a senior citizen (!!!) auditor - completely free - it's a great program

8:52 am

right Judi, dear.

8:53 am

sounds great.

8:53 am

hego are you in monmouth county

8:53 am

yes

8:53 am

there's a very active Italian-American association in monmouth county - do you know about them? they have all kinds of events, meetings, outings, etc.

8:54 am

I do know about them, jbv

8:55 am

I live in the middle of them. lol

8:55 am

I was attending classes they sponsored last year - this year they did not have enough people sign up, so they couldn't offer the class

8:55 am

Long Branch area.

8:55 am

but I'm continuing with private lessons with the instructor

8:55 am

Interesting

8:55 am

9:02 am

ty for letting me know.

9:02 am

Wait Molly, I'll take a canoli.

9:03 am

thanks, Molly :)

9:05 am

Fair warning though. There will be none of this "point watching" or "calorie counting" at the toga party. Debauchery has nothing to do with self-discipline.

9:06 am

Right

9:06 am

Will it be like the hot tub party yesterday?

9:06 am

Cause that was great!

9:08 am

I prefer the toga party - at least I can cover myself up in a great white sheet!

9:09 am

Into the PB you go, JBV.

9:09 am

you can wear your sheet in th tub.

9:09 am

9:34 am

*Watches while Hego and JBV test the hot tub for the toga party*

9:38 am

Yawn. Fireworks.

9:39 am

Hmm. Toga + hot tub = wet toga party!

9:40 am

I'm not sure there is anyone nubile enough for a wet t-shirt party.

9:41 am

i'm the certain babbler!

9:41 am

well actually i guess two of us are.

9:42 am

she's better, i have extraneous letters.

9:51 am

9:51 am

Morning all! A fourth no-school day for me, so I'll have plenty of Babble time. I should finish shoveling my drive and walkway, but it's now 33 degrees with a prediction of high thirties and rain later today, so I may just take my chances and let nature's shovel take care of things

10:50 am

What about Etta James, Molly?

10:50 am

Hello everyone. Any clues for qu5,18 please? I'm stumped.

Etta James was an amazing blues singer. All the wannabes can sit down, there was only one Etta.

I was lucky enough to see her the last time she was in Houston. She was the best!

10:53 am

1:45 pm

QU + 3 constants (no vowels)

1:45 pm

Almost quittin' time for you, isn't it Eva?

qu5/16- go looking for something

1:46 pm

Two of the Qs are normal, one is insane

1:46 pm

1:46 pm

YW

1:46 pm

1:47 pm

I will be scooting down the road a half hour after you.

1:47 pm

so molly, we will soon be leaving good ol' king farm for greener pastures. methinks i may be heading even closer to you...heh

1:48 pm

And what does that weird QU mean? WE DON'T KNOW, because Enable is too lame to offer a definition.

1:49 pm

I didn't know you were in King Farm Eva, where for art thou moving?

1:49 pm

moving over to flower hill. we got us a house. :)

thus, itisnot "enabling" us to further our knowledge of obscure words

1:50 pm

Congratulations! I work over that way. Are you keeping the roomie?

1:50 pm

nope. finally, just us. :)

1:50 pm

Oh even better. Happy Home Ownering to ye.

1:51 pm

at this point, it is just contingent upon the settlement of my house, which is this thursday. and of course, the inspection, but i know that will be fine. the house is gorgeous and in great shape!

1:52 pm

That's great, you must be very excited.

1:52 pm

IS 6/21 is not the plural of IS 5/10 is it?

Exciting Eva!

1:53 pm

ecstatic! we werent really planning on looking seriously just yet. we just thought we would look at a few to get a feel for whats out there, but we saw this house, fell in love, and knew it wouldnt last long on the market. we jumped on it!

don't think so Jin

1:53 pm

thanks mom. :)

1:53 pm

You know what this means don't you? Moving away from the yuppie sanctuary of King Farm to the family oriented Flower Hill. Pitter patter, little feet. Hee!

1:54 pm

heh, not QUITE yet. but probably not TOO far off. we made sure to get something we could grow into... huge backyard, community pool, park basically just out back...

1:57 pm

Then i need some help with this IS 6/21 please

am I somehow making this grid harder that it is??

I have is+vowel+bat out of ***l

2:07 pm

thanks glantarell. not looking forward to that part either, but we actually have a month to move because we close at the end of february + our lease isnt up until the end of march. so we can take our time. :)

2:08 pm

that's good. I am the other way round, I was hoping to move tomorrow but all the legal stuff didn;t come together as hoped, so fingers crossed for next weekend

2:09 pm

luckily the house I am moving into doesn;t need any decorating doing or any work, so at least I don't have to face that too!

2:11 pm

oops, just realised this entire conversation out me in the PB

2:11 pm

any nice cake in there?

2:12 pm

yeah, ours doesnt need any work either. im just keeping my fingers crossed that it all works out. :)

2:17 pm

Glant, I just finished setting up the open bar and the hot appetizer buffet in the PB. Toga party at drunk o'clock.

2:18 pm

2:26 pm

I am wondering how I am going to get home

2:26 pm

2:27 pm

northern Illinois

2:27 pm

bearing in mind i can just about locate every state but only the major cities LOL

2:27 pm

about 100 km west of Chicago

2:27 pm

near chicago, or is that southern Ill?

2:28 pm

Ah, I visited friends just west of Milwaukee in 2009

2:28 pm

not that far from you

2:28 pm

ok, we are not far from there either

2:28 pm

I liked it - they took me to Wales, Wisconsin LOL

2:29 pm

pretty funny! (although I have no idea where that is)

2:29 pm

within an hour's drive of madison

2:29 pm

ok, I see it on the map, not that far from Milwaukee

2:29 pm

There is a fantastic and luxurious golf course and housing complex there

2:30 pm

ah, nice

2:30 pm

Madison is a fun city

2:30 pm

guess you'd have to be very rich to live orplay there LOL

2:30 pm

2:30 pm

of course you can only play golf about 6-7 months of the year...

2:31 pm

true...

2:31 pm

golf? blech :p

2:31 pm

sometimes they play in the snow here but just for laughs - use bright orange balls

2:31 pm

but the countryside around there was very british looking, can see why they called it Wales

2:31 pm

hi all

2:31 pm

2:32 pm

doesn't the bal sink into the snow so you can;t find it?

2:33 pm

what does the 9 start with?

2:33 pm

I would have thought so, glant

2:33 pm

depends on how packed the snow is

2:33 pm

ho

2:33 pm

and it's not ho***less!

2:34 pm

Yes, I was trying to make that fit, glant!

2:34 pm

ten years ago, 12% was strong stuff

2:48 pm

I drink it because I like the taste, I don't want to fall over LOL

2:49 pm

2:49 pm

has to be the liquor store for that

2:49 pm

5:19 pm

Soodle is now reminding me of my husband who would say that he would give his left *ahem* for Clapton tickets.

Oh weird. I see them in the chat log, but when I click on your profile, I see sheep.

My ex and I had Clapton tickets once, Molly. Had to give them to friends because my 6 year old was covered in the worst hives I've ever seen.

5:22 pm

5:24 pm

Mag, my husband offered to carry my boss piggy back to New York to see Clapton and Winwood play together. He would have given his left for that one too.

5:24 pm

just got an email from Jonathan's in Ogunquit..John Mayall is going to be there late Feb

5:25 pm

ah, well, the other way I've changed mine is to go into "my account" and refresh there until it changes in there... then again out here.

No kidding Molly! We did get to see the Eagles and then after we divorced we saw Paul McCartney together. Both awesome shows.

5:25 pm

West, I would love to go to Maine. In the summertime of course.

5:25 pm

5:25 pm

5:26 pm

5:26 pm

5:27 pm

Burlington, wes. I used to live there so going to see my friends. I may just stay for a month.

5:27 pm

most of the le4/7 before it.

5:27 pm

you should cos

5:28 pm

did you go to school there?

5:28 pm

if i remember right..June is very nice in Vermont.

5:28 pm

no. i worked for the Dean campaign there.

5:28 pm

oh, this AM I was sad that Etta James died, she was a great one... I just watched a youtube vid with her, Stevie Ray Vaughan, and BB King - she was famous for the song "At Last" (played at a gazillion weddings)

5:28 pm

so sad what the media did to him

5:29 pm

Cos, how are you doing on quitting smoking? (Hopes she didn't hit a sore spot)

5:29 pm

Rbud, that is an awesome video. Three of the best at the blues.

5:29 pm

lol im having a cig now but...

5:29 pm

1/2 a pack a day now.

5:30 pm

are you switching brands cos?

5:30 pm

yes its awful what the media did. he would have made one heck of a President.

5:30 pm

Good for you Cos. Cutting down is good for you.

5:30 pm

no. I tried to switch to a cheaper brand but it just made me want to smoke more because it doesnt last as long

5:30 pm

also it helps to pick a room you won't smoke in

5:31 pm

i need to try that. i keep forgetting. i shld have a rule no smoking in my bedroom since i spend most of my time in the bedroom lol

5:31 pm

switch to Swisher Sweets, in no time you'll have walking pneumonia like I did, and really wanna quit like I did back then.

5:31 pm

what are those rbud?

5:31 pm

Oh Gack rbud, no wonder

5:31 pm

cigars...

5:32 pm

oh i smoked these before cigs years ago..

5:32 pm

i likd the banana ones lol

5:32 pm

<---One of the few people who likes the smell of cigar smoke

5:32 pm

good rule is no smoking 10, then 20, then 30 minutes after eating or drinking

5:32 pm

but thats actually a good idea. i should switch to these.. they make me smoke a lot less....

5:32 pm

"they" say cigarette smokers can't do cigars, because the instinct is to inhale, and cigars aren't meant to be - just puffed

5:32 pm

and its cheaper than a pack of camels

5:32 pm

me too Molly my grandpa smoked them

5:32 pm

thus pneumonia...

love the smell of cigar smoke

5:33 pm

<---Thinks West has been reading the "How to quit" sites

5:34 pm

quit years ago using that method..but...back at it

5:34 pm

I'm sorry to say

5:34 pm

I stopped smoking 33 and 1/2 years ago when my 5 y.o. begged me to stop

5:34 pm

i will also try the no smoking after eating for so and so mins.. thanks!

5:34 pm

good for you bichon

5:35 pm

Cos the other thing I have heard is delay your first of the day five minutes, then ten, and so on

5:35 pm

It's gradually breaking your connection with "smoke time"

5:35 pm

ooooh i like that idea

5:35 pm

first week, 5 mins 2nd week 10 mins and so on???

5:36 pm

maybe you can get Ryan to join you

5:36 pm

lol nope wont happen west sadly

5:36 pm

My son started by not smoking at work, then in the car and slowly eliminated all places he smoked. He says the only time he really misses it is when he plays poker.

5:36 pm

yay, the procrastination of smoking in order to quit method - I'm good at putting things off, it should work...

5:37 pm

I used to smaoke when I did the NY Times crossword puzzle. The went on strike and there was a link that was cut

5:37 pm

Cos, it is uber hard to quit when you live with a smoker. I wish you best of luck.

5:37 pm

yeah. i will do it though!

5:37 pm

the 2nd st 5/10 plz

5:37 pm

some things just seem to go together

5:37 pm

Divine intervention Bich. : )

I quit in 1987 for good. I quit many times before that.

5:38 pm

maybe also no smoking while i watch netflix

5:38 pm

I wonder how politics can go on without those smoke filled rooms

5:38 pm

don't have it ivesy

5:38 pm

ok im enforcing the no smoking in bedroom rule now. brb putting ashtray and pack in living room

Cold turkey was always torture- I did a sort of taper, whatever- it finally worked. It's like dieting. I just had to know that was what I really wanted, instead of just waiting for the abstinence period to be over.

5:39 pm

Yippee for cos !!

5:39 pm

come on out to washington state--you can have all of our show (20 inches in 3 days) plus 1-2 inches of ice on top of that resulting in an ice storm and now that it's starting to melt the wind is gusting at 35-50 mph......flooding is another concern now
