12:41 am

Qs: qu5x3

12:41 am

oh i forgot list is up. never mind

12:41 am

enable knows nothing of nooners. enable is very simple in his proclivities

12:41 am

that's very cool sammy

12:41 am

enable is a prude.

12:42 am

enable only knows alternative words for breasts

12:42 am

aalso am catalogueing and packing lots of boxes of books to leave then in case they are too damned dumb to take my advice..... kids don't ya know

well it does take yoni

12:42 am

what makes you think enable is a he?

12:42 am

enable is dumb therefore it must be a male :)

12:43 am

because it doesn't make any sense!

12:43 am

because it' breast fixated

12:43 am

probably a blonde male at that hmmmmmmmmm?

12:44 am

that's kind of tit for tat don't you think Mab?

12:44 am

i thought blond was for males while blondes were female?

it also takes roger

anyone here watched "hatfields & mccoys" on history channel?

12:50 am

wtg rose

12:50 am

no, cos

12:51 am

oh it was fascinating. kevin costner was devil anse hatfield

12:51 am

6 hours long but it was great. i expect emmy nominations

12:51 am

6 hours!

12:52 am

3 part miniseries.

12:52 am

I don't have time for a 6 hour TV show!

12:52 am

6 hours of Kevin Costner?.. wasn't that Dances with wolves?

12:52 am

lol no this was better.

12:53 am

ROFL ruru!

12:53 am

... seemed like six hours

12:53 am

jill -- i watched it in a span of 5 days. I dvr'd it.

12:53 am

it seems a lot of time to wring out of a hillbilly feud

12:53 am

last miniseries i watched was samuel adams

12:53 am

oh darn - meant to watch it, cos and forgot

12:53 am

LOL.. it probably started over someone's sister

12:53 am

i mean shoah was what, eight hours?

12:53 am

it was not 100% factually accurate.

12:54 am

actually it started because hatfield deserted his troop in the civil war. mccoy never forgave him and it eseclated.

12:54 am

I don't have a dvr

12:54 am

i don't have a tv

12:54 am

hatfield's son and mccoy's daughter getting pregnan t out of wedlock was pretty much when it hit the fan

12:54 am

it limits what i watch

12:55 am

now that sounds like the Palins cos?

12:55 am

i need to get a book on them. but i have books coming in the mail from amazon .. too many books too litle time

12:55 am

lol ru ... good point

12:55 am

12:56 am

My uncle was married to a McCoy

12:56 am

12:57 am

a real mccoy, peach/

12:57 am

oh no, I'm thinking like ru

12:57 am

snap

12:57 am

the movie made the mccoys look really bad. it was slanted towards the hatfields.

12:58 am

LOL MAb.. there's worse things

12:58 am

time for world of warcraft. see ya tomorrow :)

12:58 am

like....

12:58 am

12:59 am

Well, as I was saying...my uncle was married to a McCoy ( she was the only one in the family that had good sense). I remember her mother (gosh she would be way over 100 years old now). It seems that a Mr. Patton went to the hills and got himslef a bride....they had a passle (sp) of kids. I don't remeber hearing if they ever went back up into the hills. Actually, it wasn't quite safe then.

5:56 am

I collect blue and whie dishes and pottery and, if you can believe it, I've saved everything I've broken over the years with hopes of making a Gaudi-esque bench before I die!

5:56 am

so it's never a total loss

5:57 am

have been shlepping shards around through many moves!

6:04 am

how very creative!! :-)

6:05 am

have you been to Barcelona?

6:05 am

yes!!

6:05 am

am familiar with "Gaudi-esque" :-)

6:05 am

so you know what I mean about the mosaic!

6:05 am

my husband never "got it"

6:05 am

indeed!:-)

6:06 am

the problem is finding a plain cement bench to cover with my stuff....

6:06 am

I have just the spot for it in the garden but soon I'll be too old to do it.... :(

6:07 am

landscaper's supply store?

6:07 am

I have tried every place

6:07 am

everybody is too fancy to want a plain cement bench!

6:07 am

hmmmm

6:07 am

:-D

6:08 am

it is wonderful here now, nice and hot -- much needed after the rainy April and May

6:08 am

and flowers!!!!

6:09 am

lots of roses about now, I'll bet, eh?

6:10 am

many many. and everything is in flower at the same time because of the strange weather so there are roses, peonies, iris, campanula, geraniums (an annual cheat), allium, chives (in flower), pellargonium and many whose names I don't remember

6:11 am

also, a wonderful shrub that was evidently always here which smells like jasmine but doesn't look like what I could find in google

6:11 am

sounds GORGEOUS!!

6:12 am

just searched google art for "mosaic bench" -- lots of beautiful examples!

6:12 am

and everything in shades of pink, rose, red, violet, salmon, blue and a little white

6:12 am

lovely . . .

6:13 am

I have Gaudi's park indelibly etched behind my eyes

6:13 am

had to wait until his past week to put the tomatoes in, usually we do it in April

6:23 am

this*

6:23 am

Really? Wow. I've had my tomatoes in for over a month. Just got the first red cherry one yesterday.

6:24 am

all the people who put them in at the usual time wound up with rotten leaves and collapsed plants

6:24 am

my tomato plants are dinky

6:24 am

last year, there were more than I could use AND give away!

6:25 am

but, for the first time, we have a lot of strawberries

6:25 am

And you will this year too, just later, that's all. Ooo, lots of strawberries is a blessing.

6:26 am

they aren't big, but they're really tasty -- not like the awful ones around Miami which were big, beautiful and without flavor

6:26 am

these are almost as intense as fraise de bois

6:27 am

this is all such a treat for me as it's my first garden

6:27 am

Yours sound delicious. I know the strawberries of which you speak. Big, red and taste like straw.

6:27 am

hence the name, lol

6:28 am

and then, of course, French sweet cream and sugar -- how bad is that?

6:28 am

and the currants are almost ready

6:29 am

I love growing things. One of my dreams is to have a greenhouse, so I can do that all year long.

6:30 am

did you ever see the movie "Saving Grace", talk about greenhouses! starring Brenda Blethyn

6:30 am

you would love it!

6:30 am

No, I haven't seen that one.

6:30 am

she has an amazing greenhouse.....which she puts to excellent use

6:31 am

see you later; all this gardening has knocked me out

6:31 am

Have a good day, Ruby.

6:31 am

{{molly}}

6:40 am

anyone still around? hi, if so. :)

6:44 am

gm, rbud and everyone else.

6:46 am

hello everyone

6:46 am

gm, annie

6:46 am

hi dawg :)

6:48 am

What caused the airline to go bankrupt? Runway inflation.

6:48 am

*groan* Hello BR!

6:49 am

Hello, Annie

6:49 am

groan...gm, BR

6:50 am

Hello, lb

6:50 am

phantom: juglandaceous

6:51 am

yay, I get a new floor in my back room today, finally!! if all goes as planned, of course... around this place that's a big if! :P

6:51 am

OK, maybe I should have save those for the af 9?

6:52 am

hi rbud

6:52 am

Hope all goes well, Rose

6:54 am

yeah, me, too, it would be the big first step that might eventually get me a whole new kitchen, too... it's a circular thing, room by room. :)

6:55 am

good start, rbud

6:57 am

the bedroom goes into the back room, the living room goes into the bedroom, the kitchen goes into what is now the living room, the leg bone's connected to the foot bone... lol!

6:58 am

dem bones, dem bones, gonna rise again

7:00 am

- the old kitchen will be a new bathroom, too - this could be great. All with big wide doors and nice ramps if needed, we're planning for the long haul.

7:00 am

sounds wonderful, rbud

7:00 am

well, the potential for ramps, I mean.

7:02 am

I'm getting excited, whee! I've always wanted the bedroom to be the living room, it's huge, in the front of the house, and has a big bay window, so it makes sense.

7:02 am

sounds like the front bedroom was once a living room

7:03 am

any clue for the lone E?

7:03 am

I think so, too. It's an old house.

7:03 am

dont have it, dawg

7:05 am

haha, all these e's, i's, and a u, and no needlecase, funny.

7:18 am

hi Annie, rbud, Mom :D

7:18 am

(((Mom))) How are you today?

7:18 am

((Sprite)) good morning

7:19 am

(((Annie))) good morning to you. I am just fine, thanks. And you?

7:19 am

Mom, I will write later.

7:19 am

I look forward to it, Annie.

7:19 am

I need to write you as well

7:21 am

tadone!! finito! and good morning/day/evening to everyone i missed coming in.

7:21 am

Sprite should finish this in an hour or less

7:21 am

did I tell you guys I will be visiting rubyfoo in two weeks?

7:21 am

wow, great dawg, congrats!

7:22 am

yay, dawg!!!

7:22 am

wtg dawg! And nah, Annie, I am not that fast :)

7:22 am

good morning ((LBD)). I believe I read at some point that you have found work. What are you doing?

7:22 am

really Sprite? That is great.

7:22 am

that's great, sprite! what fun, would love to also

7:22 am

are you going there or is she coming to you?

7:22 am

that should be a great visit, sprite

7:23 am

I go to her and her husband. Will stay 3 days. Really looking forward to it!

7:23 am

sounds fabulous

7:23 am

sprite, are you bringing terra?

7:23 am

guess you will see us together... babbling in duo :D

7:24 am

ty, ty, ty. Hi (((MOM))) yes, employed again. working at Home Depot or otherwise known as Hubby Daycare.

7:24 am

Annie: no, I have decided not to. The train trip is long for him. And the decider was that ruby's young Chow is still very wild. Terra is not comfortable with big young eager dogs. They have hurt him in the past.

7:24 am

wooooot lbd! Gratz and great!

7:24 am

lol, LBD. I am so glad you have found work.

7:25 am

How long is the train ride, Sprite?

7:25 am

8 hours, Mom.

7:25 am

how exciting to be going to visit Ruby, sprite. i bet you two will have loads of fun.

7:25 am

aw, but you'll get to see the chows, how fun!

7:25 am

good decision, sprite...bask away in her garden..it must be wonderful this time of year

7:26 am

yes I expect so too :) I will bring a camera and make lots of pics for Flickr!

7:26 am

Ruby said she's been spending lots of time in her garden this week. it will be all primed for your visit.

7:26 am

yes, looking forward so much for the chows. But even more to meeting ruby and husband and chatting IRL with them.

7:26 am

can't wait to see the pictures. 8 hours .... that is not long at all

7:27 am

I really hope ruby won't work harder now, just because of me! I will take things as they are and I already know I will LOVE the garden.

7:27 am

Mom: no, with a high speed train, marvelous isn't it! But 8 hours is long for a dog.

7:27 am

someone is at the door, (early) will be back soon

7:30 am

ohhhh I found a blooming tree!

7:31 am

good morning my friends:)

7:32 am

*hugs crossy* Hi handsome!

7:32 am

good afternoon everyone!

7:32 am

bye bye Annie

7:32 am

((sprite))

7:32 am

(((Flask))) good afternoon

7:32 am

hi Flask!

7:33 am

howdy flask

7:33 am

Hi ((Crossy))

7:33 am

((mom))

7:34 am

Sprite, I was just saying to sweetie, how it amazes me that you can get to France in 8 hours. 8 hours on a train here wouldn't get you halfway across the country

7:34 am

Hi ((Mom))

7:34 am

need to find the blooming tree

7:35 am

no, the distances are so incredibly different, between Europe and the US. I am in Paris in 3 hours, then I must metro to the other side of Paris, and then in a little over 4 hours I am in Annecy. Really amazing.

7:35 am

it is amazing. Our oldest and his wife are going to Portugal in August and are debating if they want to take the train to Spain.

7:36 am

you know, whenever people here say: "I won't drive that far" about some distance in the Netherlands (max 400 km), I always say: "In America you would drive that to bring your kid to sport clubs, lol."

7:36 am

we often forget the short distances over there,i talk to family in the U.K and they idly mention they are going to spain for the weekend and my mind goes "spain?,for the weekend??" the the distances kick in

7:36 am

that is the truth.

7:36 am

indeed sprite,i once had a job that was a 3 hour drive each way

7:37 am

What amazes me is the fact that the U.S is so big...it has different time zones!!

7:37 am

so do we flask lol

7:37 am

see? It is worlds apart. Oh yes, Flask, amazing, isn't it!

7:38 am

really Crossy??

7:38 am

lol indeed flask,remember we span the entire width as well

7:38 am

yes, you too, crossy. Truly baffling for us. Actually, now with the Euro, I can go to rubyfoo as I would go to Groningen, for instance. Just hop in the train, hop out again, just need a weekend bag.

7:38 am

I get very confused even on here with it, sometimes!

7:38 am

yes 4 times zones.

7:39 am

Sweetie was saying that russia has 6 time zomes

7:39 am

zones*

7:39 am

hehehe me too! I often ask what time it is for other babblers. I learned here: first the aussies, then europe, then the US arrive at a certain time.

7:39 am

woot, Mom. Can you imagine?

7:40 am

we have 6 time zones:)))

7:40 am

the blooming tree starts se, btw.

7:40 am

I know that Crossy....it just doesn't seem to be mentioned so much....perhaps I'm wrong....

7:41 am

Pacific Time, Mountain Time, Central Time, Eastern Time, Atlantic Time, and Newfoundland Time

7:41 am

More time zones than the US, Crossy...we just have 4

7:42 am

We are in Florida and want to go visit our daughter and son in law in San Francisco. It's two days by car or train.

7:42 am

Well Crossy thats all new to me...thanks for the info.

7:42 am

we have none, grin.... well, one of course, but we take it from Berlin. We don't have one that starts in our own country.

7:42 am

tabby: that is some trip!

7:43 am

Planning on going by train one day...would enjoy that

7:43 am

no I can't imagine

7:43 am

oh I forgot the time zone for Hawaii

7:43 am

here in ontario sprite and flask,if we wish to visit someone on vancouver island in the west,i can be up to two weeks to get there by car :)))

7:43 am

I think a train ride across the US would be wonderful

7:44 am

I've flown out there...can't remember the time it took but we had a layover in Albuquerque, NM

7:44 am

So do I Mom....would love it!!

7:44 am

wow crossy, that is really baffling. And yes, a train ride across the US would be great.

7:44 am

Oh Crossy...I would just fly.....lol

7:44 am

we have one for canada to the western points,it is call the rocky mountaineer and it is amazing

7:44 am

thanks for the se

7:45 am

yvw Mom :)

7:45 am

I'd love to take that one someday, Crossy. Have heard how beautiful it is

7:45 am

and the norther train is called the polar bear express

7:45 am

7:52 am

so much money... one must think hard before going, I think

7:52 am

indeed

7:53 am

and you can google the rocky mountaineer.the distances get staggering

7:53 am

The trip from Florida to San Francisco with sleeping room is over $1,000 per person which includes all meals.

7:54 am

it takes 2 days (+) to go just from Chicago to San Diego on Amtrak - I used to work at the local Amtrak station.

7:54 am

but i would love to spend a week or so in a first class berth with access to the dome coach and wind my was through the mountains

7:54 am

There are layovers in DC and Chicago of several hours. Enough time to do a little sightseeing

7:54 am

it is a fine way to travel indeed.too bad so much of it has been lost

7:54 am

It would be a great trip, Crossy

7:55 am

lolol.... coast to coast, crossy... takes 16 days. Costs 4000+ euro.

7:55 am

lol good lord

7:55 am

{{_jmc}}

8:37 am

hi ruby! *waves madly*

8:37 am

goose alert!

8:37 am

it was ne4

8:37 am

yes the goose

8:38 am

yeah, it was, I corrected it already :)

8:38 am

hahah, I thought you meant me

8:38 am

the other one takes 9

8:38 am

95 words this AM

8:38 am

rubygoose?

8:38 am

ruby,you silly goose

8:38 am

whenever I can garner 10 minutes' more energy, I go out and pull weeds

8:38 am

silly ruby

8:39 am

did sprite tell you why I'm sprucing up the garden?

8:39 am

that IS silly, ruby. I will love the garden just as it is, don't go make things perfect on my behalf, please. Ok?

8:39 am

so the other n is no9?

8:39 am

no why are you sprucing up your garden

8:39 am

not a worry, it's good for me to yank some weeds and deadhead the roses!

8:40 am

no, no5/10. Sing with 9

8:40 am

sprite is coming to visit!!!!! yay

8:40 am

*jumps up and down*

8:40 am

babble meet up!!!!

8:40 am

sprucing for sprite

8:40 am

yay!!!

8:40 am

yeah :) But I don't want ruby to overdo things. Trust me, friend, I will love things just as they are.

8:41 am

it is lovely and warm here, much-needed sun after rainy and cold April and May

8:41 am

I need to be out in the sun and might as well pull weeds while there!

8:41 am

the currants are just starting to get pink

8:41 am

haha i pull weeds when i wait for my sister to pick me up

8:42 am

ooo do you make jam?

8:42 am

ok :) Just take it easy, ok?

8:42 am

exactly, you can't make a "day plan" around weed-pulling

8:43 am

I make currant jelly, blackberry jelly, ignore the cassis and apples, plum jam when there are some (not most years) but eat the raspberries, strawberries and figs as they ripen

8:43 am

it makes me happy

8:43 am

oo i would make apple butter....i loves apple butter

8:44 am

*drools* Can you teach me to make jam, ruby?

8:44 am

i have tried to grow figs a couple of times. . .i grew up with giant figs trees

8:44 am

I love it, too, but didn't know it could be homemade. Will look it up. Generally, I give all the apples to the fellow who helps with the garden

8:44 am

it is possible that the currants will be ready when you get here if the sunshine keeps up

8:44 am

<--- loves apples

8:45 am

ruby, you didn't yet tell me what I can bring for your husband and dogs.

8:45 am

I thought the fig tree was killed by the last frosts (following the warm February) but it has made a lovely comeback

8:45 am

I don't know if there'll be figs this year, but I was said when I thought it was dead

8:45 am

good for the fig tree! At least we will have something to wear af5 the orgies ;)

8:46 am

did you think the herring idea was funny?

8:46 am

sad*

8:46 am

I will see what I can do, ruby, about the herring :)

8:46 am

when it was planted, 15 or so years ago, it was exactly my size and now it is very big and pretty

8:47 am

it's a great idea, but probably a stinky one LOL

8:47 am

I had dit placed in the warmest, sunniest part of the garden, against a wall with a total South exposure

8:47 am

I will only do it when they can pack it in vacuum thingies. I know our cheese vendor does that.

8:48 am

so... what to bring to make your husband happy? And your dogs?

8:48 am

Burt will love that, too

8:48 am

ah good :)

8:48 am

YOU will make them all happy; Burt is truly the man who has everything!

8:48 am

and the dogs love company

8:48 am

ok, then just tell me if he is a sweettooth or a harty man.

8:49 am

harty? Can't be right. Someone who loves his snacks salty.

8:49 am

put a dog biscuit in each pocket! they'll be in puppy heaven

8:49 am

ok :) Do they like to gnaw on hide or not?

8:49 am

he doesn't snack :( and doesn't eat sweets. Do you eat sweets, though, I will make a strawberry tart!

8:50 am

I eat sweets, but nothing with cream. Most cakes are not for me. I will love strawberries though!

8:50 am

Burt bought a giant-size pkg of chewy bones and the dogs turn up their baclk noses -- I will send them home with you for Terra

8:51 am

black* noses

8:51 am

Good morning!

8:51 am

lol ok :D Chows... the cats among the dogs.

8:51 am

hiya car.ee

8:51 am

Rufie is changing color and the front of his legs are getting darker, so he looks like he's wearing chaps

8:51 am

Hi Sprite!

8:51 am

and does Burt like things to read? About what?

8:51 am

{{car.}}

8:51 am

So cute!

8:51 am

((ruby))

8:52 am

aww that is so sweet

8:52 am

absolutely true, they are like huge cats in fur coats

8:52 am

pls don't worry about Burt, Sprite, he is just happy that you are coming to visit!

8:52 am

maybe I will bring Burt a little book about dutch mills or something like that... would he find that interesting?

8:52 am

I am happy to finally meet him too!

8:53 am

he loves the Netherlands, had a factory there many years ago, I think in Kampen [sp?], but he'll tell you his wonderful story about it

8:53 am

Yeah! Babble Road Trip!

8:53 am

oh! Looking forward to that! Kampen is correct. Oh and the booze is spelled 'Jenever'. :)

8:54 am

he says that it is said that the smartest men in the world come from Kampen

8:54 am

I looked at several online recipes for apple butter and i hate all of them. . .

8:54 am

yes car :) June 19, all is booked.

8:54 am

Hi jmc!

8:54 am

I have never even heard of apple butter, jmc.

8:54 am

<-- had no idea of the spelling but used to drink it in Brussels all the time and in Amsterdam the little bit I was there

8:55 am

I will look in my NYT cookbook for a recipe for you

8:56 am

I will certainly show sprite how to make jam; it is really easy (except for quince, which is a fruit I only admire and sniff)

8:57 am

quince... isn't that that particular pe4?

8:57 am

so looking forward to be in the kitchen with you, ruby!

8:57 am

basically you cook the apples within an inch of their lives and then add cinnamon mace ginger and sugar depending on the sweetness of the apple

8:57 am

being*

8:58 am

looks like a pe4 on steroids, but has beautiful flowers (finished now) and gritty but wonderfully fragrant fruit. It makes a great jelly, but too much trouble for lazy me

8:58 am

hm... is that the same as apple sauce then, jmc?

8:58 am

or

8:58 am

thought so, ruby! Very particular fruit indeed.

8:58 am

i have a quince bush but my quinces are sooooooo hard that i can't do a thing with them

8:58 am

hi Legend :) Happy or to you too.

8:58 am

similar but not the same. . . brown and spicy and lovely

8:58 am

does it have salmon-colored flowers, jmc?

8:59 am

hi legend

8:59 am

yes it does ruby

8:59 am

if yes, then it's a Japanese quince and the fruit isn't worth eating

8:59 am

ok! Must try that once. I thought it was made with butter and I don't eat butter at all.

8:59 am

i was told it was a flowering quince

8:59 am

we have it as a decorative plant and I've just learned, to my delight, that it is invasive and just had several babies around the garden

9:00 am

brb

9:00 am

awww baby quinces. Would they grow in the netherlands?

9:00 am

the regular quince has very large pink flowers that look a lot like roses and large pe4-shape fruit which is light green shading to bronze

9:01 am

also, it is a tree and the Japanese quince is more bush-like

9:01 am

the holly also had two babies this year but they're thorny

9:01 am

renet

9:02 am

my quince produces flowers, but the fruit mostly disappear. Probably eaten my something

9:02 am

and on that note, I'm off to give pups their cocktail-hour treats

9:02 am

deer?

9:02 am

dear bichon!!

9:02 am

hehehe only 2 more weeks, ruby!

9:02 am

amazing!

9:02 am

hi bichon!

9:03 am

Hi Bichon!

9:03 am

mornin' everyone

9:03 am

Rufie just strolled into the studio and stood on Ruby's tail; she is now whining and snarling at him

9:03 am

but she never hurts him

9:03 am

aw poor ruby.

9:04 am

I think she loves him, though, and they often sleep very close to each other

9:04 am

the snarling is for my benefit, I think

9:04 am

Ahhh..pack play!

9:04 am

yeah, sounds good. And by snarling she warns rufie that he must behave. It's only for the good.

9:05 am

my two go at each other too. But, it's just play fighting

9:05 am

I would love to see her reaction to Marco and Polo. It would be a riot; Rufie would hinke they were fluffy toys and Ruby would probably just slink away

9:05 am

think*

9:05 am

I guess I'm the alpha dog around here

9:06 am

see you later, kids!

9:06 am

fireflies! Must be off. *hugs* to all and have fun! Ruby: that is the only way! You the alpha.

9:06 am

Wahoo! Well done Sprite!

9:06 am

Have a great day!

9:07 am

Most other dogs are terrified by Maro/Polo.

9:08 am

I think because they were on the street they learned that offense is the best defense

9:09 am

OMG! I found the 9!!!!

9:12 am

Well done Car. Go to the head of the class : )

9:12 am

Stats please for the 2nd column N at the bottom?

9:12 am

Thank you! ((Molly)) Good morning!

9:12 am

Beautiful icon!

9:13 am

no5/10

9:14 am

*Trying to picture Marco and Polo as street thugs : ) *

9:17 am

Ty Molly! I finally got it!

9:18 am

The up and twisty ones are hard for me to find.

9:20 am

*Goes to the PB for horrible grammar*

9:21 am

squee is so a word!

9:22 am

what does it mean shirl?

9:22 am

I totally agree! I say it almost every day! Good morning Shirlockc

9:22 am

it's the sound you make when you meet one of your personal icon/idols or get really excited

9:23 am

Squee: Internet onomatopoeia for a squeal

9:26 am

nooner should be a word too!

9:28 am

How many ae words please?

9:28 am

I agree about nooner. That word has been around a long time and is a well established slang word. But Enable will take "arvo". Go figure.

9:28 am

Three ae words Car.

9:28 am

I'm pissed enable won't take Dino

9:28 am

Ok

9:30 am

and it is now time for crossy,s tidbit of the day!!!

9:30 am

back

9:30 am

Yeah! Crossy and Ruby!

9:30 am

Amerigo Vespucci, for whom many historians believe America was named, was an Italian pickle merchant.

9:30 am

wb ruby:)

9:31 am

Pickles, huh?

9:31 am

Tee hee! Crossy said "pickle"!

9:31 am

Hi Scrabs!

9:31 am

indeed..pickles

9:32 am

Hi kids. Another dreary, dark, rainy day here and this will continue through Thursday. Blah.

9:32 am

back because "cocktail time" didn't last 15 minutes without mr. nasty getting annoyed with me

9:32 am

gee, scrabs, I remember upstate NY..... :(

9:32 am

I do hope you walked away from Mr Cranky Pants, Ruby.

9:33 am

Well, we do need the rain as May was summery.

9:33 am

yes I did, fixed myself a g & t and came back here

9:33 am

many need the rain for pollen relief.

9:33 am

True, Car.

hello all.. may i have a clue for se7/40 pls?

9:33 am

Hi Owl

9:33 am

it's funny, with all the rain we had in April and May, there is less pollen this year

9:33 am

Hi TO. Clue: Big tree

9:34 am

Hi TO! Sorry I don't have it yet. But I can help you look....

9:34 am

hi TO, huge Calif tr**

9:34 am

Ooops! I do have it!

9:34 am

9:34 am

Time for more coffee...and an allergy pill..snort, cough, wheeze....

9:35 am

I wish you all a wonderful day! {{hugs}} to all!

9:35 am

poor car. !!

9:35 am

Bye Owl.

9:35 am

And bye Car

9:35 am

Its actually not too bad Ruby...I am staying on top of the allergies...Zyrtec is working great for me!

9:35 am

handing car. an embroidered hankie

9:36 am

The se7 is one of the world's largest, non-flowering plants. They are awesome to see in person.

9:36 am

I like Benadryl beter than Zyrtec

9:36 am

<-- never seen one

9:36 am

GAK! Can you imagined the pollen though! LOL!

9:36 am

are they different from redwoods?

9:36 am

I take Benadryl sometimes to fall asleep.

9:36 am

OK! BYE!

9:37 am

{{car.}}

9:37 am

Yes Ruby, se7s and redwoods are different.

9:37 am

hmmmm, Calif experience is very limited

9:42 am

Tequila and cookies in the grid : )

9:43 am

sounds good to me! what word does anyone want? I'll try to blunder into the PB

9:44 am

mmm tequila and cookies....

9:44 am

whoops, I misread that --- wishful thinking, I guess

9:44 am

herradura?

9:45 am

Herrawhata?

9:45 am

Oh, no. Pa5

9:45 am

I think it's the best tequila -- unavailable here. But it can be downed as a fine cognac

9:47 am

haven't gotten a word in a loooong time! stuck at 95

9:50 am

clave Azul is the best tequilla

9:51 am

don't know it, ru, but when you come to France, pls bring a bottle

9:51 am

all my mexican friends swear by it

9:51 am

I've written down the name

9:51 am

that.. I can do. I may come to France soon

9:51 am

Hi ruru

9:52 am

I have to go to Pont de L'sere and Avignon

9:52 am

that would be sooo nice. Telling my son about that brand; he lives in Austin

9:52 am

I scrabs

9:52 am

Clue for the lone E, second column, please?

9:52 am

south of here, ru

9:52 am

e + not a record

9:53 am

where are you Ruby .. near Burgundy?

9:53 am

en6/21 totally involved

9:53 am

That is not from that E.

9:53 am

ha6?

9:53 am

no, north of Grenoble, south of Geneva, NE of Lyon

9:53 am

thinking about "totally involved"

9:54 am

you are to the East?

9:54 am

or what happens before the end of the world

9:54 am

SE, 10 minutes from Annecy

9:54 am

ra4ure

9:55 am

Aha, Ruby. The last clue did it for me.

9:55 am

raft

9:55 am

rafter

9:55 am

9:55 am

<-- sits here with 95 words

9:55 am

Free clues! Don't miss 'em!

9:56 am

there have been many today, scrabs, and I'm grateful for all of them

9:57 am

*wonders how much time Scrabs spends in the PB*

9:57 am

Not enough, Ruru.

9:57 am

I keep her well-oiled with g & t's

9:57 am

Good Morning Everybody! Thanks for the help Scrabs! :-)

9:57 am

I am having dinner with a pediatrician tonight scrabs.. so you're excused

9:58 am

Hi Nef

9:58 am

hello nef!

9:58 am

Say hello to a comrade, Ruru. We are overworked, underpaid and underappreciated....but we love kids. Adolescents, however, I could do without.

9:59 am

<---I don't have to cook today.. wwwwwweeeeeeeeee

9:59 am

he lives in Bozeman Montana and has a successful practice there

9:59 am

good morning! We have a glorious day he**; but DH is still asleep so I'm still in my 'jammies! (what a lovely day to be lazy)

9:59 am

And I am attending a baby shower for my nephew + his girlfriend so I get dinner too.

10:00 am

hi neff.. I am in my robe still

10:00 am

Nef, you are lucky. It is our 2nd day of rain and dreariness.

10:00 am

It's taco night here, so I am the Babble peasant.

10:00 am

I have to make dinner in a minute; wish I could just stay here

10:00 am

Tacos are great--make your own just the way you want.

10:01 am

we've had 10 inches of rain in about 3 weeks; yesterday was so cold; so today is really a gift

10:01 am

*wonders if there is a pizza night at Molly's house*

10:01 am

Oh, Nef, you are all wet.

10:01 am

oooh, tacos sound good

10:01 am

I could do that, but not tonight.

10:01 am

Of course there is, like I said, I am the Babble peasant.

10:02 am

belive it or not, you can buy El Paso brand stuff here

10:02 am

I think you are the Babble savante, molly

10:02 am

Alas, some of us have to eat based on a budget.

10:02 am

I had "Shredded Wheat" cereal + blueberries for dinner last night. I am also a Babble peasant.

10:03 am

if it wasn't so bad for me, I would eat an egg yolk on toast for dinner EVERY night

10:03 am

i had a store bought frozen 3 dollar pizza last night,crossy also a babble peasant

10:03 am

the rivers are full and some lowland flooding; the Mississippi is over it's banks in spots. (The falls by downtown Minneapolis are very fierce

10:03 am

Yikes, Nef.

10:04 am

We have a lot of flooding here too, Nef, after yesterday's downpours.

10:04 am

honer

10:04 am

when I lived in Sou Illinois, the Miss flooded every year -- scary

10:04 am

$ 3 pizza is below peasant crossy.. lol

10:04 am

Another free clue...and I had already entered it earlier anyway.

10:04 am

and in Binghamton, it was the Susqu which flooded, also every year

10:05 am

I would love a $3 pizza!

10:05 am

I don't eat pizza that often any more

10:05 am

no ruru,the instand ramen noodles with a 80 cent can of flakes of turkey is below peasant

10:05 am

the calories are incredible

10:05 am

or take-out Chinese!!!!

10:05 am

Well, time to go into town to shop for me and for my mother. Then I'll bring stuff to her and off we go to the baby shower. 36 left. Maybe I'll be back tonight.

10:05 am

LOL crossy

10:06 am

Very frugal, Crossy.

10:06 am

actually chinese food is very $$$ here ruby

10:06 am

bye scrabs

10:06 am

we're up quite high (in this landscape, anyway), so we're not worried about it. Most of the areas around the rivers here are parks, etc. so no one has had property damage

10:06 am

better than ketchup soup and kool-aid i suppose

10:07 am

ugh

10:07 am

there just isn't any worth eating here, crossy

10:07 am

ha6?

10:07 am

ugh, crossy! How discusting that sounds!

10:07 am

I miss it so much, I'd be willing to pay, crossy

10:08 am

I worked with a woman, years ago, who used to call her children to say how much she loved them, and then they would eat ketchup sandwiches for dinner

10:09 am

Could I have a clue for that 2nd column, bottom row N please? I've tried everything from all of the opther words

10:09 am

ha6/21 before + cons

10:09 am

letters, I mean

10:10 am

thx ruby

10:10 am

9-person group

10:10 am

Ew Ruby. I know someone who used to eat canned Vienna sausage and mayonnaise sandwiches. Double Ew.

10:10 am

I think that may be the bottom, molly

10:10 am

let's get off this awful food subject ..yuck

10:10 am

maybe it depends on what kind of brea

10:11 am

It makes me gag every time I think of it.

10:11 am

OK, making nasty husband a hamburger for dinner

10:11 am

*Hands Ru a dainty plate of carrot and celery sticks*

10:12 am

I'm still ralphing from the vienna sausage thing

10:12 am

and I'll have steak tartar

10:12 am

Nasty husband should get dog food for dinner. : P

10:12 am

with an egg

10:13 am

does anyone remember ther scene in the movie (whose name escapes me at this senior moment) with Barbara Streisand and Nick Nolte?

10:13 am

Dog food and tabasco sauce for the nasty husband

10:14 am

I finally got that N word. Thanks, ruby

10:14 am

the movie, please.... ruby is losing it

10:15 am

set in Sou Carolina and NY

10:15 am

tell nasty hubby to shape up or ill come over there and toss him in the pond

10:15 am

pls, crossy, he is such a jerk

10:15 am

.."the way we weren't?"

10:15 am

don't know, ruby. Not a movie person

10:15 am

nah

10:15 am

lol

10:16 am

tell him if he does not shape up you will carve "here lies mr nasty" onhis headstone

10:16 am

<-- movie person but can't remember -- but will

10:16 am

sorry to intrude, but do you mean the prince of tides?

10:16 am

prince of tides

10:16 am

Prince Of Tides, Ruby

10:17 am

bless you, zsa zsa, ruru and molly; I totally blanked on that name

10:17 am

<---Has seen that movie a dozen times.

10:17 am

:)

10:17 am

and you will pay ten year old boys to pee on his grave every day while on their way to school

10:17 am

<-- loves that movie (and the book)

10:18 am

hahah

10:18 am

The ending sucks though. Lowenstein got used.

10:18 am

I'll put his ashes in the garden and the dogs will take care of that!

10:18 am

10:18 am

she was terrif! and I thought the wife was a sap

10:19 am

10:23 am

*Makes a pitcher*

10:23 am

you can have mine -- not a fan of tomato juice. but ty molly

10:24 am

I am at college reunion, there was free wine

10:24 am

10:25 am

10:26 am

10:26 am

:)

10:27 am

*Keeps pitcher of Bloody Marys for myself and JMC. Hands picky Via a glass of water*

10:27 am

3 ounces of gin or vodka(olives for the gin,pearl onions for the vodka.place booze in large chilled martini glass,then take a sterling silver cocktail sword and impale the olives or pearl onions and gently float in the glass so as to not bruise the alcohol,the lean over the glass and whisper "Antonio Benedetto Carpano" and serve

10:28 am

ah yes, I remember this crossy

10:28 am

the only way to fly:)

10:29 am

could I have the stats for the 9 please? is it a compound word?

10:29 am

af9/72

10:29 am

and yes on compound

10:30 am

thanks crossy! Got it! :-D

10:30 am

yaaa!

10:31 am

Or, as Hawkeye Pierce would say "3 ounces of gin and a moment of silence for the vermouth"

10:31 am

indeed

10:32 am

poor antonio,seem a single bottle of vermouth can last in a home bar for about 20 years:)

10:33 am

i use dto make guests laugh and dispense it with an eyedropper

10:34 am

now,you want to jazz it up a bit,a few drops of orange bitters is very nice

10:36 am

half way, DH is up; time to go get showered and dressed and ready for the day! BBL! Happy Babbling Everybody!

10:36 am

People think that adding something to liquor makes them "cocktails" and not straight booze, which therefore makes them "not an alcoholic" since the common misconception is that only alcoholics drink straight booze.

10:37 am

used tobasco sauce rather than vermough and add it with a soup ladle

10:37 am

Whoo! That would be a Flaming Martini

10:38 am

i am not a alcoholic...i am a drunk,alcoholics go to meetings:)

10:39 am

you certainly should be proud you can make that distinction

10:40 am

why ty br,actually in this town we take turns,so i am not due to be the town drunk till next month

10:40 am

My favorite quote about alcoholics comes from John Bradshaw. Who says that recovery is more than just getting sober. "Take the alcohol out of an asshole and all you have is a sober asshole." : D

10:40 am

lol,i know that one molls,very good

10:41 am

alcohol is a toxic brew that has adversely affected many .... many wives and children have the experience of being punching bags because of that brew

10:41 am

Amen BR. And I know a few of those women. Not a pretty story.

10:42 am

hello dear friends.

10:43 am

howdy trif:)

10:43 am

hello crossy

10:44 am

I am so happy to see BR, molly, and so many other dear ones this morning

10:45 am

we were just discussing the perils of demon spirits

10:45 am

may move on to cigarette widows/widoers next

10:46 am

Hello Trif

10:46 am

anything but weather or politics;)

10:47 am

of course 100 liberals out in the hail is a good start;)

10:51 am

Careful there, Crossy - I am the most liberal person I know, and I live in massachusetts

10:52 am

Nothing wrong with liberals, Trif. I salute you.

10:52 am

how many fingers are you using, molly?

10:53 am

I only do a full military salute Trif. I am a registered independent.

10:53 am

well, thank goodness for that!

10:53 am

And I'll take a liberal over a conservative any day.

10:53 am

but are canadian liberals the same as US liberals?

I'm more liberal than you, I bet, Tri.

Go go liberal and I'll go one further.

10:54 am

the pacifist in me cannot fight with you about that, kaplan....

I will civilly disobey.

10:55 am

mm,think i will back slowly away from the politics and dive in the grid...

10:55 am

now that I have done!

10:55 am

not at all crossy!

I don't know who decided things are on a straight line anyway, with a left, right and center.

10:56 am

yes, it is very silly Kap

Or why center is considered the most reasobale place to be.

What if it's multidimensional?

10:56 am

I dont like the color thing - red states and blue states -- mostly because I cant' remember which one is what.

Or a mobius strip?

10:57 am

definitely mobius

10:57 am

et6 please?

10:57 am

I agree kaplan! what if people feel conservative on spending issues, but liberal on spending ones?

Blue is peacful, red is bloody.

10:57 am

we have those here kap..the 1% lefties,the mushy middlers or n.i,m.b.y.s and the good ole boys cook hot dogs on the overturned shopping car righters..

That's mneumonic.

10:57 am

et6, poetic forever

Liberal and conservative on spending?

10:58 am

ty Molly... that was in the grid recently I think :P you'd think I'd learn...

10:58 am

not personally, kap, but what if someone was? I reject the idea that people can fit completely inside one defined ideaology

10:59 am

I don't have the memory storage to remember all the oddball words in these grids.

10:59 am

just the first he5/12 and I'm off to meet friend for lunch...

10:59 am

I still remember peetweet. That one will stay with me forever.

The thing I can't figure out is the Log Cabin Republicans, but I suppose they would think of themselves as liberal and conservative.

11:00 am

the was the STRANGEST word in the grid once, and I remember the definition, but not the word...

11:00 am

found it! fw!

when I first joined there was a weird word meaning crabgrass, and I used it in the chog because I didn't know that wasn't done.

I remember the definition not the word.

11:01 am

They don't, Trif. Which is why so many so called conservatives are discovered to be adulterers.

11:01 am

As in they don't fit in the "box".

11:01 am

thank you molly.

11:01 am

*groan*

Why is "adultery" so similar to "adulthood?" Do you think that people commit adultery because they have gotten the words mixed up?

11:02 am

They aren't adulterers Molly, they just need someone to carry their luggage!

And then there's "adulterated."

11:03 am

does anyone have the count for the 3rd e down in the second column, please?

11:03 am

I'm sure there's a reason Kap... did you know there are a ton of words derived from salt, including salary, salacious, salad, salami... it seems like anything with "sal" has some historical connection to salt

Sal Hepatica?

Sally Rand? She was quite salty.

Sal Mineo?

11:04 am

the one that always stumped me is - the pope is called the pontif. Why then, is the word for "bullsh*tting" pontificate?

Ha ha ha!

11:04 am

:) awww, just when the conversation is getting salty... have to meet friend or she might beat me up. later all

11:04 am

en6/21?

11:04 am

anyway, does anyone have count for that e?

11:04 am

that's a good one trif

11:04 am

thanks again molly....will look now

If you don't meet her she can't beat you up.

Sily.

11:05 am

got it! Thanks!

11:05 am

I really should go see my friends play production at 2....but it is raining BUCKETS out there....and i am happy and babbling

Honestly, I have to tell you the simplest things!

11:06 am

crossy goes back to his original political affiliation of rooster worship ala J.D sallanger

Where are you in Massachusetts?

11:06 am

on the south shore. The rain is MOST welcome -- washing away all the foul pollen

Ah- Salinger. More salt.

Salamander.

Saloon, salon, Salonika.

11:08 am

fern

11:08 am

SORRY

One of my favorite songs is "the sunny side of the street" sung by Willie Nelson (and I don't care for C-W music or singers; but I love that song by him!)

12:15 pm

hi Jeff. Some days I think all the words are like that

12:15 pm

Nef, it says: "How's about a nice warm cup of Shut the Hell Up".

12:15 pm

LOL!

12:18 pm

there are days I could use that shirt (esp. when my daughter gets going! I used to tell her she was wearing my ears out!)

12:18 pm

The perfect cup for those people who go on and on and on and on.

12:19 pm

I have a friend who words as a waitress. She loves it. Can't wear it to work tho.

12:19 pm

(It always helps to hit "enter" when you write something for chat

12:21 pm

God bless those who wait tables. They have to put up with more than their fair share.

12:26 pm

i am stuck any clues for the first re6/18 please

12:27 pm

it's a job I found that I could never do. I tried to help in a family small town cafe and within 10 minutes got pulled off the floor and put on dishwashing duty.

12:27 pm

lol. Some have the gift, others not, Nef.

12:28 pm

This was during the Bicentennial and I wanted to punch out a drunk! (and, No! I am not a violent person; he was rude, crude, and needed a beating!)

12:28 pm

it's some liquid for cheese, sadie

12:29 pm

ty nef :)

12:31 pm

yw

12:31 pm

Great story about Nef's feisty side!

12:33 pm

oh, I have one, Molly! It just doesn't come out often. (I think my family was shocked when I started telling the big drunken galoot off and trying to pick him up and throw him out the door)

12:33 pm

(he was sitting in a booth at the time; I hadn't decked him)

12:34 pm

whoo hoo listen to nef!!

12:34 pm

Hi All

12:34 pm

It needs to come out more! I like it! : )

12:34 pm

Hi Hego

12:34 pm

12:34 pm

hi molly

12:35 pm

hi hego. (now I should shut up before you know too much! ;-)

12:35 pm

Off to do more weeding! Lousy chore, but a lovely day - so, it all balances out. *POOF*

12:36 pm

I love it.

12:36 pm

oh, come one now. You've all got similar stories I bet

12:37 pm

It's okay Nef. Your secret is safe with us. Next time you post something like "oh no, I'm too nice to do something like that"...Hego and I will just chuckle quietly to ourselves.

12:39 pm

I don't DO things like that very often; but I sure THINK them at times. But that guy neededit; and my Irish temper got up so fast I didn't think

12:40 pm

chuckle chukle

12:40 pm

hello all, just got here. not going too fast.

12:41 pm

<----wishes she did have a similar story.

12:41 pm

Hi Hokie

12:42 pm

hego, as a nurse, you probably have plenty of stories; but you just won't talk about them because they were about your patients. :-)

12:42 pm

hi hokie. I started out slow, went quickly for a while but am now almost stopped at 85 words done.

12:43 pm

hmmm... maybe Nef

12:43 pm

42 right now. I can't imagine getting to 85 with this.

12:45 pm

you can do it, hokie! Do you have NBT yet?

12:46 pm

4 more to go, mostly vowels. I have the hardest time finding the ones that start with vowels.

12:47 pm

welcome to "the I hate vowelss club"

12:48 pm

the two bottom n's too. there's too many n's there. I think I see a word but it's from the other n.

12:49 pm

the 2nd column bottom N is no 5/10; a group of 9 performers/ musicians

12:50 pm

ty Nef

12:50 pm

the other bottom N is the Hawaiian goose

12:50 pm

got that one, thx

12:51 pm

got that one, too. also the reality tv star that guests on Glee.

12:51 pm

how could I forget the goose? smacks head.

12:52 pm

TV star? I guess I don't know , nor have that one

12:55 pm

me neither

12:55 pm

She's on one of those real housewives shows. I don't watch, but I read a lot of entertainment weekly. I think it's spelled the same, but I could be totally wrong.

12:55 pm

in the dark

12:56 pm

same h888, hego. I guess I'm out of the loop

12:56 pm

same as the hawaiian goose

12:57 pm

Oh!

12:57 pm

lol

12:57 pm

Ohh! That's someone's name?

12:57 pm

BRB; I must need a cup of coffee

12:58 pm

just googled to confirm - ne** leakes

12:59 pm

ty for bringing us up to speed.

12:59 pm

lol, any time.

1:00 pm

: )

1:00 pm

back. Never heard of her...

1:01 pm

(do you suppose our age is showing, hego?) ;-)

1:01 pm

you think? lol

well, I do watch Glee, and she's actually really good on there. Surprising for a reality star.

1:02 pm

hi all, help with re7 and te7 pls

Oh, come on. How old could you be? ;-)

no 7s here yet, ,peri

1:02 pm

really,really old

1:02 pm

Hi Peri

1:03 pm

clue for the pa5'14....please

1:03 pm

I have the se7

1:03 pm

sorry, have none of those

aeb, I added an r to a pa 4/5.

1:03 pm

except se 7

never mind, you said 5/14

the one I'm talking about is a 5/12

what about the 3rd E down in col 2 and the E on the right?

1:06 pm

nvm....i found it....its french

1:06 pm

3rd e down is en621

1:06 pm

en6/21

got it, thx

and got one on the right. NBT!

1:09 pm

yay, hokie! (sorry was off reading about that n. leakes....

Up to 71 now,too. I actually made it halfway.

1:12 pm

okay, it isn't in this grid, but can anyone tell me why "nano" isn't a word for Enable?

1:13 pm

WooHoo hokie! Told you so! :-)

1:14 pm

It's a prefix ..

no idea. nooner isn't either.

1:15 pm

thanks, tor. Never realized that before

I'm hitting the list.

darnit, I always miss a certain ae4! I would consider it a prefix along with nano, but I guess it isn't.

1:22 pm

Yeah, I'm going to too soon. I swear there aren't any more than 104 words in this grid

1:23 pm

I believe Nef

1:28 pm

well, now that I've lsted, hego; there are a few more words; so don't believe me

1:29 pm

: )

yes, I found a few right off the bat that I knew to be real words and should have gotten.

such as, the 9 letter.

1:31 pm

the 9 is a fish

1:32 pm

meaning we expected it to be a lot harder

lol, thx for clarifying. I was like, a fish?

1:33 pm

yep. sometimes those compound words can fool you

1:33 pm

Babble expression

1:33 pm

You could spend one fishing ..

1:33 pm

right Tor

apparently I have been gone for too long. had to have NBT explained to me last week. That wasn't around before my hiatus.

1:35 pm

interesting

1:38 pm

There is a lot of "Babble jargon" here. The monkeys thing is my least favorite.

1:38 pm

hokie, not everyone uses that term, so don't think that you were gone too long.

1:39 pm

I love my monkeys, Molly! Why don't you like that term?

1:39 pm

Because it is SO over done here.

1:40 pm

started with trying to monkey the words.

what is that one exactly? monkey typing?

1:40 pm

as in monkeying around, I guess.

1:41 pm

when you can't get a word so you try different combinations.

I just thought it meant a monkey could just type around and find words.

1:41 pm

help with the se 7 please

1:42 pm

same idea

1:42 pm

big big big tree mac

1:42 pm

I think it's all of those.

5:04 pm

i also like those cast iron do-dads that are square on both sides - to make campfire pies

We've had a complete fire ban up here until the last few weeks, so it's nice to be able to use the fire pit

Our kids use those a lot...toasted sandwiches, pies, all sorts of goodies.
