saw that a 90-something year old man and his 52 year old wife in india are having or have had a baby...................... asked walter if he wanted to try( he is 86) an he said bring on a 30 year old , lots of prednisone and a c-pap and he would see what he could do
LOL

ROFL smom!

we switched sides of the bed when we moved, and it still seems strange
sinister?
ty for mi89/9 clue, roses
i'm stuck now
left means sinister
really?
*mi8/9
gosh jilli, did you get it from my clue?
i've never heard that
yes, roses
dexter is right, ru
our daughter is a lefty... thot those who were left handed were evil...
I'm amazed, and encouraged. maybe I can clue after all!
I meant I sleep on the left
s'true ru.. in ancient times left handed people were thought to be evin or sinister and i think a fewe may have been killed as witches
my dear granddaughter is a lefty too, perfect in every way
my dad was probably a lefty but forced to go righty -- except when he played tennis
my walters are both left handed .. number three daughter is ambidextrous... but I am pediadextrous
what is the 10?
what's pediadextrous?
that means i can still kick ass with wither foot
ah
I'm a lefty - but swung golf club and baseball bat right
Obama is a lefty
well.. he's sinister
BTW, I get rid of this blob tomorrow afternoon -- stay tuned for new pic
sinister is good
i'm really, really stuck
lol swing
swung is ok -- past tense -- or are you still swinging?
Here is part of one article about the negative history of left-handedness: left-handed people have been considered unlucky or even malicious for their difference by the right-handed majority. In many European languages, including English, the word for the direction "right" also means "correct" or "proper". Throughout history, being left-handed was considered negative. The Latin word sinistra meant "left" as well as "unlucky" and this double meaning survives in European derivatives of Latin, and in the English word "sinister.' There are many negative connotations associated with the phrase "left-handed": clumsy, awkward, unlucky, insincere, sinister, malicious, and so on. A "left-handed compliment" is considered one that is unflattering or dismissive in meaning. In French, gauche means both "left" and "awkward" or "clumsy", while droit(e) (cognate to English direct and related to "adroit") means both "right" and "straight", as well as "law" and the legal sense of "right". The name "Dexter" derives from the Latin for "right", as does the word "dexterity" meaning manual skill. As these are all very old words, they would tend to support theories indicating that the predominance of right-handedness is an extremely old phenomenon.
wish I was jilli
but yes, still do
lefties used to be repressed in school... not so much now
hard to find left-handed scissors and such
I wish I were ambidexterous
can someone clue the im8 and 10 please? For nbs...
in grade 9 penmanship the teacher tried to make me change the position of paper to same way as right handed - writing became backhand
not so much here, jili - we used to have a lefty store in the mall in Ft. Wayne; daughter did, however, 1st learn to cut right handed... she also plays golf right handed
I bet it did, flosey
flosey, soem teachers are incredibly stupid
im + convict's home (another name for a big jail) past tense for the 10
*some
yes, have met a few
wish I was ambidextrous too. Would certainly improve my petanque game!
jilli.. im 10 is jailed
tyvm ruru xx

Incidentally, has anyone ever used coconut flour in place of wheat flour (for allergy to gluten) ?
stid does flosey
not me, flosey
I've never heard of it; have a friend who published a gluten free cookbook though
thanks ru, I'll ask her
there's a German cookbook too dee
Gluten Tag
here's her website: http://www.stephaniehapner.com/
that would be interesting, ru
suddenly realized I have to take goodies tomorrow and one player is allergic
that was a joke dee
was using what I had - and in a hurry
duh
thanks Dee, will check it out
she has helped a lot of people
Her son almost died several times from food issues, which is why she started developing new recipes. He just graduated from college, which was pretty cool.
i know a few people on a gluten free diet
I can't even begin to imagine how hard that would be to manage
wow, good for him, this friend was hospitalized a few times before they discovered the problem
the hospital nutritionists didn't really know what to do with him... can't pronounce or spell the disease he has
that would be so difficult to deal with, especially if there are siblings who can eat everything
so true
sl 7/36 always makes me cringe... he has sl... down the hill same ending as he has ri6 the horse many times
thanks Dee
yw
ty dee -- (cringe too)
over halfway now
wtg jilli
still odd to me that those kind of words are acceptable
way to go jili
I'm dragging, have been back and forth to kitchen
ty flosey and ee
and my first attempt is a flop
last-minute baking, flosey?
hard as a rock
so sorry flosey
oh dear -- what were you trying?
hate when that happens
yes and no forethought, wasn't prepared
what were you trying to make
chocolate brownies - just made 1/2 recipe
any viagra in the recipe flosey?
we would see teeth popping out first bite
sad!
don't have that in my cooking supplies ru
lol
hang on might have a gluten free brownie recipe
it's too late Dee, can't do anymore tonight - needed by 9:30 tomorrow morning
This only takes 35 min to bake
Ingredients: 5 ounces high quality 60-70% cocoa dark chocolate 1/2 cup organic coconut oil 1 cup light brown sugar (not packed) 1/2 cup almond meal 1/4 cup sorghum flour 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt 1/4 teaspoon baking soda 2 organic free-range eggs, beaten 1 tablespoon bourbon vanilla* Optional: 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts, if desired Dark chocolate chips for the top, if desired Instructions: Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Line an 8x8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper. Melt the dark chocolate and coconut oil in a saucepan over low heat, gently stirring. (Or melt in a microwave safe measuring cup and stir together to combine.) In a mixing bowl whisk together the brown sugar, almond meal, sorghum flour, fine sea salt and baking soda. Make a well in the center and add the beaten eggs, vanilla extract and melted dark chocolate mixture. Beat on low-medium for two minutes, until the batter begins to come together. At first it will seem thin, like cake batter, but keep beating until it thickens and becomes smooth and glossy. If you are adding nuts, stir in the nuts by hand and spread the batter into the prepared baking pan. Even out the batter with a silicone spatula. Stud the top with some dark chocolate chips and press in slightly. Bake in the center of a preheated 350ºF oven for 32 to 35 minutes, or until the brownies are set. The top will crack, like a flourless chocolate cake. Cool on a wire rack; and remove the cooled brownies from the pan by gripping the foil edges and lifting the brownies out as a whole. Chill for an hour before cutting. (Though warm and gooey is really divine, if you don't mind them falling apart.) Yield: 16 servings *For chocolate-mint brownies use 1 teaspoon peppermint extract and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
need my sleep Dee, but thanks very much for your very kind offer
Here's an easier one:
Here's an easier one:
Clare's Gluten-Free Brownies For those of you asking for Clare's original brownie recipe with cocoa powder, here it is, as written. 3/4 cup gluten free flour (almond and sweet rice flour combo) 1 cup sugar (brown or white) 5 tablespoons cocoa 1 teaspoon salt 1/2 cup shortening (butter, or GF margarine etc.), softened 2 eggs 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Melt the shortening in a glass bowl using a microwave, then add the rest of the ingredients. Add 1/2 cup of nuts, etc., if desired. Spread in an 8x8-inch baking pan. Bake at 350 degrees F for 30 minutes. Cool. Cut. Wrap and freeze.
Sleep well, Flosey!
Copy, save, and print, flosey!
have copies it for future use Dee, thanks
(I seldom bake anything)
yqw
I cheat now when I bake... use a lot of box brownies or do ice cream sundaes, which takes little effort.
I did make apple crisp last week when my brother visited
I buy locally made stuff, lol!
even better
my simplest is apple crumble

not fond of brulee, always looks great, but I don't like the texture
creme brulee, I meant
I love apple anything
anything with brandy is great
I love it!
I think Tart Tatin is my favorite dessert
I used my grandmother's recipe - super easy; just has oats, brown sugar, butter topping, and great apples
what is Tart Tatin...
Gravenstein is my favourite apple
carmelized apple tarts dee
flosey, my neighbours are givng away gravensteins, they have so many
Have never heard of that one... not sure it's available here.
oooh yum
oh, my goodness, ru, yum!
an old friend of mine's wife used to make them they were simply heavenly
we have a tree in the old orchard, I'd never heard of it until coming here
she was a great, great cook
I can smell them now :)

lol, thought you had gone to bed, just had to come back and get that dig in, didn't you
oh oh.. we lost him again
Lost who?
Me? No such luck, sorry. :P

Nope. I'm not a little lost Lamb___.
I know. That was baaad.

Well I'm feeling sheepish now.
Aren't ewe? :P
I pictured you more wild and wooly
And rambunctious?
this is shear excitement isn't it
Baaah. :P
I'd better go back to bed. Gotta drive to work in the am and don't want to be a sheep at the wheel. That could be a cull lambity.
HA
Good night.

100 to go and off to bed
No, hon, you are not alone here.
I have 105 to go. Sweet dreams, flosey.
Hi. I'm also here but working hard - still got 200 to go!
Hey there, Lizlin.
What time is it there ?
Hope all's well with you - it must be pretty early there. Here it's 6 pm - I'm in Queensland.
We don't have daylight saving - in Melbourne it's 7 pm.
It is 4:05AM here. I have my sleep habits turned around....So far I've lost 3 summers. LOL
Lol - no way would I be awake enough even were I up at 4 am!
It seems that the later it gets, the more awake I am. It's really difficult trying to get evening appointments.
I guess you just learn to cope with whatever hours you keep
Slim
Sorry
That's ok, hon. I have that one.....do you, by chance, have the si5-12 the 2nd? Thanks
Haven't looked at the list yet and only have on si 5 / 12
No, I meant to say sl5-12 the 2nd.
Again only have one of those so far
These darned s's are really difficult for me.
That's ok.
brb
I have 15 of one and only 3 of the other so sill a long way to go.
cooee, does someone ne4 a hand?
And 13 of the other - yikes a lot os s's!
Hi granny. Slowly getting there and surprised how quickly I found the 10. 9 s are a different matter!!!
peach, sl5/12, sl + rogan j***, good indian food.
Great clue. Ty

Of course. Ty
st9, compound word, victoria is one, new south wales another + right or left
bbl, dinner ready
Bon appetit
Ty for the other 9
Thanks for tha sl, rose. I'm not familiar with indian food.....the only thing I can think of would be like GI*oes......military man.
Try sl & P*** the wife of David beckham
Thanks much, lynxxx. I probably should quit for this morning. I'm just trying to get a few more......I don't know David Beckham.....just trying to find them.
she was one of the Spice Girls if that helps
I think a US word for joke - j... , so sl + ( j) ...
Someone who is very very well bred might be called p...
morning all - gapeach it also rhymes with a nother word for food N*** and money d*** and rubbish t***. its a word that means drunk
That's still working on the same sl clue
and chuck around
hi Kazz
hi - only around for a short time - new lift regime is playing havoc with babble time - leave home at 0545 a d dont get back until 1845 also been away for the last few weekends
thats a very very long day
how long are you in the car?
Just what I was thinking!
back. peach, try sl + 4th vowel + sound made to get someone to be quieter
yeah and by the time I have done dinner theres no time left for much else
hi Rose
i get dropped off at 0615 and then picked up again to get to work at 0750 - spend inbetween time in a cafe - home not so bad as hubby is usually waiting for me at the drop off point
hey lyn, how are you, hun? nice and warm today.
and hello kazzer
Glad the weather seems better in vic
Thanks to all of you.....I finally found it.
well you'll get a lot of reading done Kazz
hi granny - you all okay? Weather is get gettinghints of autumn now
yay, peach. well done
Excellent
where are you Liz?
Queensland - gold coast
And you.
yeah and if i can get my iphone to do its thing properly I could probably do babble - the cafe is supposed to have free internet
might take the ipad to see if it will workk
from Melbourne - like Rose
must go - off shopping so will return in a bit
later, kazzer
bye Kazz
You ve had some rough weather there recently
speaking of Rose, reminds me to ring my brother BBL
Brisvegas
jono, don't think i have met you, welcome to babble.
Hi Jono
Huh. Newborn baby boys get taken to Vegas for THAT now? Wow... who knew?
Hi neil
Hi Lizlin.
hey guys
where do you hail from, jono?
am on here every now and then
brisbane
I spend a fair bit more time on wordsplay (boggle) though
ooh, another banana-bender. like dizgranny
where abouts in Aus are you?
I love Aussie insults!
Ha.
:-)
got that right - I'm not a fan of bananas - one of a few things I don't eat
melbourne, jono. where you never know what the weather is going to be.
do you follow afl
don't start me, jono. my team couldn't hold onto the ball in the grand final. aagghh!!!
oh no...
my auntie's favorite team is Hawthorne too
I have always followed Essendon - from before there was a Brissy team - don't have too much time now though to watch footy
lol, jono, our family was pretty equally divided between essendon and hawthorn, with mum the odd one out. she backs carlton.
:-) oh no, not carlton, I think them and the demons are my least favourites
i think that's why she does it. to get a rise out of the rest of us.
I'm just learning about afl. Is there great rivalry between those 3 teams?
The Suns seem pretty rubbishy!
I guess there is a lot between the melbourne teams - as they've been in the game a lot longer - the other team that we all love to hate is collingwood
lol, only in our family. traditionally everyone hates collingwood. except collingwood supporters.
snap, jono
:-)
*clueless*
I learnt that early on. There are lots of collingwood supporters in my hubby's family - so we bought our nephew from Melbourne a maroon stubby holder for his 18 th! Not a happy boy!
s'okay Neil. when you and your fellow americans start discussing politics and your sports, a lot of us over here have trouble following the chog.
Neil I'm almost as clueless but know more about uk soccer!
worth the price of admission alone :-)
True granny
That's why I don't usually discuss politics in the chog. And sports? I don't really discuss anywhere.
Well that's one reason anyway. ;)
sorry neil, us vegemites will lapse back into real conversation soon
so where in the US do you live?
Haha. It's ok! ;)
My location is on profile.
cool
it says you're into photography - what sort of camera do you have?
Off for dinner - have a good day / evening
have a good night
later, liz. enjoy
Canon EOS 7D.
cool
Yep. It works well. :)
I'm sure it does, they are a very nice camera - my father in law has two.
I see.
one for each eye? HI guys ;)
I have photos of it... taken by my g/f, with her Canon Powershot 595, haha.
hello; it just took me 25 minutes to get in here!
Ha. Hi Shallow One and rubyfoo.
Why would it take 25 minutes to log in?
the internet can be quite a maze (ing), ruby
Ugh. You should've been here earlielr when ru and I got punning. :P
<- bearhugs (neal)
hello {{{ruby}}} and shallow. ruby? how goes it, hun?
oh, ruru, yes ...
Check the backchog at 2.22 am.
I'm "Neil", Shallow One... not "Neal".
{{rose}}
and hello shallow
i will, wasnt in there for hints yet, got 203 and think i slowly need them
Or should I just call you Matt?
and Neil (spelled correctly)
of course you may, Neil
Yes... thank you, rubyfoo. ;)
<-- loves "real" (i.e. European football. Never liked the American game.
its just my fingers, neil they often seem to work apart from my brain - or i have a specific dylexia limited to your name
Why do you use the name "Shallow One" on here anyway, Matt? Been wondering about that.
but I am distraught over what has happened with Lance and the whole bicycle racing thing. Even White, the Australian who rode with Lance, got affected!
Haha. Well "Neal" is an awful (mis)spelling.
i know, ruby. but the sport does have to be cleaned up. no other sport is allowed to get away with it.
Neil...how about kneel??
Uhhh, no.
when i get my self to register, ill probably switch to acb. shallow one happened out of a mood - had played weboggle on "team cthulhu" a few minutes before i registered here, under the handle of 'shallow one' which in that context is a pun on the 'deep Ones' an ancient mysterious race of alien god-like beings, pivotal in some of HP Lovecrafts work
do you remember sandyloo? She and I still communicate about the Tour de France every year; she is as rabid a fan as I (but of course loves Cadel Evans!)
*giggle* soory, mate...couldn't resist
Oh I see, Matt.
*sorry*
I have a friend who is Cthulhu obsessed.
yes, i remember sandy. how is she?
and indeed neal is terrible im very sorry, but sometimes it just happens, its no illmeaning - file it under typing-tourette or whatever .. i apologize for past and future mishaps
And I bet you couldn't, Rose. :P
No problem, Matt. ;)
:P and pfft to you.
actually its quite some time ago i read some of them, and also did rpgs. i was lured into the theme on wordsplay that day
the last time we wrote, she was about to go to England for a wedding. She sounded great!
Wordsplay, yes... that was when the chat was broken on Weboggle.
It was out of order for a long time this time?
And pffft back to you, Rose. :P
Oh Matt? Want a good laugh... at my expense?
i think i shall resort to "research" on the grid now - beginning with an update on backchog
another blunder?
If so, check my October 01, 2012 update on profile... down near the bottom of the page.
And yes... that really happened. Go to the link in t hat update to listen to me tell the terrible tale. lol
My most em-bare-ass-ing situation EVER.
i already listened to that, very funny. wondered if your producer cleared the rights for the "eureka" score
had started to re-word a classic song to 'puttin off the ritz' but didnt get to far on it
100 and see you later, kids
Did you note the last song used in that clip?
I'll give you a link to a certain video clip of it in your Weboggle inbox, Matt. Just give me a few mins.
yes noticed the lyrics but didnt know the song - im not much into current pop music
Ok, it is sent.. check your Weboggle inbox.
later, ruby. will email you soon.
oh, its from adam, no- i didnt make the connection
even funnier if you know.
by the way, the penalty by the ritz shouldnt have any consequences - since you did check in under an alias ...
Ha. Well I've been hoping they will only remember me as "Wally Greenberg."
will you publish under that moniker? you should, and it should be black-humoured and risqué
Probably not. :P
good morning everyone:)
hi crossy
:)
Good very early morning to you, crossy. :)
ugh,tell me bout it neil
Sorry. :/

Hi smores.

Take care everyone.
sleep well neil with ei
bye neil - good night
must get coffee
or a la5 :)
make that al6, please
which means more coffee than milk for me and two of them
and ill have a piece of st6 with it please, although its still a little time to go until chistmas
lol.... {sends Shallow a virtual la5}
if you havent tasted it yet - the dresdner st6 is the best
and thanks for the drink :)
mmmm good coffee
ok Shallow, the only st6 I have is what you are after using we4
oh also have past tense of old bread
yummie
no, no old bread please, that would spoil it. go for german christmas cake/bread
and sorry, its st7 (meaculpa, mea maxima culpa)
teehee, found it - thanks
althoughin some regions lazy people leave out the final consonant (but its not in this dict spelled that way)
yeah I gave up getting st6 and drinking coffee years ago...lol
great - now I have the old Bob Dylan song stuck in my head
a remedy http://tinyurl.com/7xqlak4
and if you liked that, the band did a very funny self-ironic follow-up ...http://tinyurl.com/722o4do
thanks Shallow :)
yea, found one of the 9's
great, smores. need to get out - 20 degrees out and sunny (68 f) wouldnt want to miss this nice autumn day.
that sounds great - enjoy Shallow
la5 and sweet poppyrolls at the farmers market to come :) regards to sprite when you see her
lol.....will do shallow...eat a poppyroll for me :)
10c here and our canada geese are on the move and florida? please do not eat our geese while they are on vacation.ty-canada
but cooked goose is greate crossy
ill remember that when roasting up an american bald eagle lol
awwww :( don't do it crossy
then hands off my goose:)
fine, I'll leave your geese al5
actually in find our geese very oily.do not care for them at all
now soon i will have some nice moose meat to share:)
yea, I've only eaten goose once, not sure of it's nationality...lol - didn't care much for it
lol,always ask to see it,s papers before you shoot it
LOL
and you can also tell because it says "EH" a lot
hoser
and wears a toque
teehee...couldn't resist
good day eh? im bob,and this is my brother doug "good day your hosers!" ty bob..today we are going to talk about real bacon,beer that is not watery and coffee sandwiches!
I'm gonna have to watch that again...lol
so much steriotype that it is crazy
so is moose meat good
it is,very good and good for you,but it is a lean meat and if you do a roast you must drape bacon over it or if doing sausages or hamburger you should cut it with a bit of ground beef or pork
still a hilarious movie, although it might not be now since I won't be st7
lol thats what cheech and chong movies were for
is it similar to deer then?
ah yes, cheech and chong
"plus you need a good freezer to hold about 1000 pounds of it..hehe
last time i hunted moose,i brought down a female moose(cow) that was 1600 pounds.is a lot of work
wow - definalty an animal you share
now i enjoy bagging my game with a camera
they are indeed
so you no longer hunt?
are you getting some moose from a friend who hunts or do you buy it now?
nope.it is a younger mans game tromping through the bush up north in october/november in the freezing rain/snow 200 miles from the nearest road
i have friends up north who,s sons hunt out of our old hunt camp still and they send me the odd care package
I still have Bob Dylan stuck in my head, al5,st6 same area
and of course the 1st word I found we4...lol
"my mind is 25,but my body is definatly on the cusp of 50 lo
hey,your icon says that if i hold on just one more year that i do not have to grow up!! yaaa!
mmm custard pie..love the americanisms though "oleo" lol
1 more year and crossy can join the peter pan 50 group
as can i:)) i am taurus so it is may for me
yaa for peter pan!
yea, I hadn't heard oleo for so long, had to leave it that way
so the flour settles and makes its own crust,that is very interestin indeed.will have to try it
yeah not quite as good as the real thing, but it's quick, easy and very tasty
my browser has the hiccups today:(
very annoying, sorry to hear that
ill get it to hold its breath while drinking a glass of whiskey
lol...good luck with that
st is finished
Good morning!

I have al 5 - al + female name with a double vowel ending
Beat me to it1
you're back crossy :)
yea emt
and it is now time for crossy,s tidbit of the day!!!
The original theme song for TV's Bewitched was a variation of the commercial jingle, "See the USA in your Chevrolet." Not surprising, since Chevy was the sitcom's original sponsor.
yes smores i am back;))
Hooray!!!
Have you seen the ads out now bringing back the "Baseball, hot dogs, apple pie and Chevrolet" song?!
nope..have boycotted cable tv programming for last year or so
the tv for me now is nothing more than a bid dvd player
big
when my son is watching it,i hear the commericals for the new shows and shudder
and all my wife watches now is deja view and she avoids the slime that way
back in a bit...

Molls, the babble meet up is Nov 10 at noon in Wilmington, will you be able to make it?
thanks Molly
after the 4 se6 by vivaldi.
I hate it when people use my things without asking!!
I have to check with my daughter-in-law. We may have a girls thing that weekend.
ok
ty for se8
It's a great location Peri, central to lots of people. You and Brookie made a good choice.
still too far away for me - some day hopefully
thanks, Brookie actually picked the place. should be easy to get to for lots of folks
why don't you arrange one, river for people near you
hope you can make it, Molls, would love to meet you
River, Min is aiming for a Vermont meet up in August. Maybe that would work for you.
not many really - trif and car are the closest and that is still a couple hours away but that is duable
bichon is in CT
there most be babbles in Mass
Harry is in Connecticut, so is Hursh. Wht and Kaplan are in Boston.
August of next year? That may work depending on what part of VT. I am an hour away from the NH?VT border.
Good morning, all. Just reading back in the chat... Which Wilmington are we talking about for the meet-up?
Boston may be a fun place - haven't been for a while - about 2 hours away
Wilmington, Del. see Brookies profile for more info
where is another Wilmington?
I must get back to work now - have a great day everyone
there is one in Mass peri
Oh, cool! I'm in Delaware. I can totally do that!
she also posted in Babble Community on FB
There's a Wilmington, NC too.
ok, good, Judi.
Hoping to get to Wilmington. :)
bye river - have a great day
that would be good, CJ
Delaware meet up info here... http://tinyurl.com/8tyv2sz
how do you figure out how to do a tinyurl?
I just marked my calendar. Will look at Brookie's profile for details. Can't get to tinyurl from work.
missing 2 of the 8's
raining here. hope it clears soon. need to some errands
Copy the long url, go to tinyurl.com, paste the long url in there, then copy the tiny url it gives you.
so that's how you do tinyurl...good to know.. thnx Molly
The other way to get to Brookie's profile is to go to Rankings, do a CTRL+F, then type "Brookie" in the box that pops up. That will take you to Brookie's name, click on it for her profile.
It's raining here too. But supposed to clear up this afternoon. Storms heading east.
Off to do some real work. Later, peeps! *POOF*
finally done with 8's
clouding up now, suppose to get rain shortly and continue throughout the night
M's are done
Wait a moment! I was busy working, glanced at the chat and lo and behold there was talk of a meeting in Vermont.
halfway, NBT and finally NBS - time for a break
P's done
time for a break - 100 to go

hello all, can I get the first al 5 just cannot see it
ty, ruby (and the rest of the well-wishers I missed while fetching another coffee)
ty for the 8 and 10!
wow, didn't know that pr6 (base for the big im's) could be a past tense
Hi Ruby, thanks for the birthday wishes. : )
I think pr6 is a stretch.
there was a big performance/party in the next village -- singers, dancer, etc. -- and it was probably in your honor (although they didn't know it!)
lol - subtle, moll, I like it - wait, you were punning, right? ;p
if you st5, or get caught st6, they will im8 you in pr6
le4 public behavior will get you pr8 as well...lol
smores, you must be a public defender!
Well, must run some errands...bbl
not hardly ruby...lol
bye jillyjill

thanks for the help i am out for now poof
we6?
see you later ml - enjoy your day :)
we + the farmer in the ***l + letter after m
The other one has a plural ending.
thank Molly :)
is there a weird we 4 or 5? -- missing one w, have 6 x2
ty molly
the 2nd we6 is a plural (thnx again Mol)
... I have 5 fours and i'm missing your second six
drop the last letter from the 1st we6
have we 6,6,4,4,4,4,4,5 -- missing?
A 4
the 1st we5
strange one?
... Your missing a 5 between the sixes ... if you listed them in order
... you're
No, sorry, the first 5
... the singular of one of the plurals
There is no 5 between the 6's
... I have a 5/6 to start .... are your two 6's at the start?
ty dos
it is the first we , but got it
yeah!!
Yeah, so it goes 5, 6,6, 4,4,4,4,5,5
down to 100 -- list time :)
weird w words
... that's why weird starts with 'w'
thats good nan - I wouldn't have made it that far without list
so true dos :)
hi e1 - its a skiing term, we6 (infinitive ending) means to wag like a dog or horse does its tail. this movement could be seen in the end of your skis
and the seeming plural ending is actually an anglification he or she we6, so is the anglicised infinitive to we5
thanks Shallow - had no idea
as 8, please?
its german....
... as8 ... never seen it before ... ... as + 2000 pounds + past tense
as + 2000 pounds + they cr**** at the funeral, it was so sad
... to have been very very surprised in the past? ... to have bought James Bond's car in the past? ... who knows
ty molly and dos
another odd one
Dose, it might be what happens when you go German wag dog skiing.
... ach du liebe! ... who would have thunk it ...\
Must be the Oktoberfest influence in the grid.
oktoberfest is long over, its in september...
... not in KitchenerWaterloo it isn't ... ... happens the week after Canadian Thanksgiving ... which was last week
i suppose somewhere in the world theres always oktoberfest :)
... not a bad idea
that's good dos, glad somewhere Oktoberfest is celebrated in October
Good Day, Everybody. How are you all this fine moist day? (Not quite rainy, but still some desperately needed moisture for us)
Oktoberfest in September seems so wrong.
Hi Nef
... Kitchener is about an hour west of Toronto ... changed the name of the town from "Berlin" during WWI ... instead of being named after people who were shooting Canadians they named it after the idiot who was getting Canadians shot ... got figure ... ... Oktoberfest is a big deal ... ... small town ... two large universities ... ... many drunken undergrads ... ... was one myself a thousand years ago
I agree, they have a festival here every year, the last weekend of September
I know where Kitchener is. My husband's demented, raving looney ex-wife lives there. Tread carefully Dose.
hi Nef, raining here again, suppose to be nice tomorrow
Our long drought has ended - rain for two days and 4 more by the looks of it.
... Sorry ... I live about a mile down the road from what used to be the only hospital for the "insane' in Ontario ... ...
(I now have visions of a raving, looney woman running through huge crowds of drunken undergrads drinking beer. Is there a way to tell the difference between raving looney and drunken undergrads though?
Maybe Molly's husbands ex is there now dos :)
... Could be she's up near Crossy ... ... big hospital for the "criminally insane" up where he is
what part of the country are you in, smores? I'm in MPLS/St. Paul, MN and we've had a drought for most of the year
midwest - Indiana
we had a drought most of spring, about 1/2 of summer, but okay now
more than enough rain last 6weeks, shame it was a little late for some of the farmers though
(sorry, phone call right now)
hello again everybody
152 words before
... evening ruby
hello dose
Hi again ruby, did you enjoy your dinner?
good leftovers
yumm, leftovers, not much work and some are soo much better the next day
pi 6, between medicine and plane captain, please?
sorry, smores, my son called and was talkative! How often does that happen (not toooften with mine)
... to have taken the medicine in the past
have that, ty dos -- the one that follows plural medicine ?
... that's what I was afraid you'd ask ... sorry
phantom: pi beer
covered in hair, fuzzy
plane captains - minus the t and add a vowel to the end
hi again Nef, glad you had a nice chat with your son
ty smores
lovely, nef, most sons are not very talkative
another odd word - this grid is full of them
there are so many words I've never heard of before, that I'm not even bothering to look them up any more.
It is. He's been working nights for quite a while now (since May or June?) and it's been tough for all f us
I looked that last one up - hoping it would help me clue it, sadly, it didn't ..lol
Nef,has he been able to adjust his sleep?
I worked night many years ago - about the time I was able sleep in the day, they switched my schedule back
not really. He has a 3 year old (who spent a good deal of the summer living with us) and his wife has mental health issues --which were a major problemthis summer. He tried to deal with all of that plus work nights.
Bless him Nef, that is a lot to carry.
I worked either evenings or nights for most of my nursing career. The past 4-5 years I've been working days. Not an easy adjustment
that's rough Nef
he is lucky to have chosen you as his mother!
It's interesting though. I do wake up early; I just don't function early too! :-)
hi all
hi peri :)
Hi Peri
He IS lucky, ruby! Sometimes he even knows it! ;-)
hi peri
hi peri
cheers,Molls. it is definitely a g&t kind of day. am going to try Skinny Girl Cosmopolitan as well.
I have to laugh at the Skinny Girl thing. If you make a Cosmo with fresh juice, there is nothing fattening about it.
well it comes ready made in a bottle so I thought I would try it
"But I would not feel so all al5 Everybody must get st6"
Ah, I didn't know they came pre-mixed. Smores is a little stuck on that song today.
yeah - I am :)
stuck on the song - not st6...lol
first thing that came to mind when I read that smores, was that your age is showing. But then I checked your profile and it looks like you are younger than I thought! :-)
skinny girl cocktails. they also have margarta and pina colada. but I have bad memories of those
just turned 50
... she was so much older then ... she's younger than that now
LOL!
and officially dont have to grow up!!
i am missing two of the 8's
giving up on the zl -- any clues, please?
I am willing to share g&t or skinny girl cosmos. also guacamole and chips and smoked oysters
very true, smores!
Skinny Girl is a great marketing tool. What woman won't buy that? Just like "Big Man" condoms. : P
... a territory or area ... and it's past
... don't have the third one
haha Molls, wish I had thought of it. Also Sandra Lee of Semi Homemade fame. sure wish I had thought of that too
zl + post it n***...it's Polish currency I think.
LOL Molly
ty Molls
... it looks like the polish currency
thank you Molly!
8's: as, im, mi x3, pr, se
ty molly -- we have had that one before, now that I see it
*!* ta da *!* - thanks for the help :)
ixnay on the skinny girl cosmo
wtg nan!!!
YAY, cyber!!! WTG!!!
I thought so Peri. I'm not a fan of pre-mixed drinks. It's the bartender in me.
not very good huh
well - I must take a break - be back soon to finish
well I bought it so I will drink it, maybe after more than I will not notice the taste !
heard a cute joke (for seniors) yesterday...
I am waiting for the joke
A very well dressed and good looking man in is late 70's walks into a bar a spies an equally well dressed attractive lady on the shady side of 60. He slides on to the stool next to her, orders a drink, then turns to her and says.... wait for it... "hey, beautiful ... do I come here often?"
: D
haha
and on that no4 .... see you at the flip, hagd.
Mixes Peri a Cosmopolitan with fresh lime juice, orange juice and cranberry juice*

that is much better, thanks, Molls

There is no ri8

the first 200 were fun, the next 50 hard, now i'm struggling
red boxes of doom :(
not so much scottish or yiddish so far, a bit of german though
hm ok... so for now I should be ok. Might not finish this one. If I start typing a lot of letters without much sense, I may have fallen asleep on the keyboard :)
gonna get some ice cream...maybe a little external energy helps
oooo bring me some too? :)
sends over engadin walnut tarte, slightly warmed with vanilla ice cram and homemade figsauce

sounds so good! It was lovely weather here as well today.
we had 20(!!!) degrees
yes!!! Amazing, isn't it! Such a wonderful day. We ate lunch in the garden, bare arms, sun overhead.
stuck at 129 words
had a long stroll around the quarters, a latte at the farmers market, did my gourmet groceries there, and the colours around are amazing
hello mkg
hi mkg
colours are starting to turn here as well. I so love autumn.
as long as its not too cold and wet i doo too
guess not. now at 137. hi all.,
just over half, still going.
but doing lousy as usual with the biggies.
have you found the german christmas cake yet, sprite?
hadn't, but have now, thanks :)
that took me over the 200 mark. 2x8 and 8x7 found.
once you fnd the jail, youll get some more long ones
hm ok, thanks for the hint!
as in another word for jail or as in a particular jail?
synonym
thanks again :)
if you want more explicit hints, check backchog, its been clued numerously
I found a 6 and an 8 from your clue so far
hi guys- i have 2 of the z's- both the area ones- what am i missing?
hiya Wolvie :)
check for another 5 and the 10
missing zl5/20
... you can get an 8 and a 10 if you put an "i" in front
Wolvie: a coin. Looks russian.
sorry, 8
ah- ty Mary
mary coinage, spelled wrongly
as soon as you did that, i got it, lol. this is my brain on friday
ty sprite :-)
hiya Mary and dos. An i in front? Oooookay.....
ah, got it, thanks
i bet dose is accompanying that with an imp-ish grin ;), sprite
*giggles* Looks good on him too.
hi sprite, put an i and another letter in front of the jail clues
... not at all ... I got the 8/10 on my own ... .... had to get the 6/8 practically spelled out for me ... but I got the 8/10
yeah, took me a while but I got it, thanks Mary :)
lol dos... sounds familiar!
what do the 9's start with? i have none of those
me neither.
mi 9/66
... one of them is st9 ... a compound word
ty BR and dos
The other is mi9
the other one is an mi
and shallow. :-)
hey BabbleRabble, good to see you :)
hi Bea too :)
and it failed the at6
Hello all.
These puny, innocuous grids cause brain atrophy
don't they just, BabbleRabble. *tries to look smug while struggling with last 50*
st and mi... hmmm....
... st ... the US has fifty of them and then to be placed laterally to them
The mi comes from the word that means to make amends
ah, thanks dos! Too bad that cannot be made with +d
... or you could put "ness" after it and have a 14 letter word
... but that might be greedy
ooo would have been cool too. Thanks for the Mi. How odd one can do that wrong.
ah
ty for those clues
thanks Bea too
and bea
walked away from the computer for a minute there. :-)
what? You can't!
is 7/28 after the order to im 8/50 and while im 10/91
lol
good clue... looking for the is.
oh darn... of course. Thanks BabbleRabble.

hmm
don't have that de 7- thanks for the clue!
... dt's
*cryptic clue*
yep... seeing pink elephants in hordes.
WHAT a day
hiya hursh. Bad one? Lovely one? Good weather but bad people one?
lot of things going wrong for everyone i know!
bad week, actually.
:( *hugs* for hursh. And a virtual drink, chocolate covered strawberries, a wonderful cheese platter and silly animals doing funny stuff in front of you.
found out one friend's cancer came back. woman at church died of cancer. husband's cancer screening results appointment pushed back AGAIN. he also has to go to CA again to help his sister deal with HER radiation treatments and her husband situation. one friend's car got towed and the police don't know where it was taken to. another friend had a miscarriage. i am dealing with marty and his food situation and i almost lost my car key. but then i found it.
thanks, sprite.
yay for the car key... a tiny ray of sun in a bad situation.
that is tough stuff, hursh. Sorry things are so dark atm.
wow hurshy- sending positive thoughts and prayers your way
it is weird how sometimes lots of bad stuff just seems to happen at once.
yes. We have a saying in dutch: bad luck never comes al5.
sometimes i think it does come al5. but sometimes in bunches.
but maybe it works differently in holland, lol.
lolll
calvinistic bunch, we are
i just think it's more noticeable when it comes in bunches so it sticks out more in your memory and creates the false impression.
Back to finish, hello again hurshy and sprite. Hello wolfie!
hi Jjill :)
could be, hursh. Anyway, too much of a bad thing is a very bad thing
hi Jilly!
This time I won't run off on you sprite! ;)

And that our lovely republican candidate had the national party slip him a 1/2 million $$; inbetween the court denying our 1920 amendment and when our State Auditor put ruling on hold pending court appeal

one of my la4 words, jmc... was wondering how I couldn't have missed it all this time

yeah, maybe that is why. Or I am being as blind as a bat :D
stats for the bottom i please
ir4
like part of eye, but other la4 letter

yes, change final letter
different last letter jmc
yes it is flower but change final consonant
ty nbt!
good job jmc!
i am pleased with myself! haha
:D
that automatic collector you turned me on has brought my gaming time down to a reasonable level . . .thank you for that
yvw jmc! They try to make you buy stuff for real money and I don't like that or want that. Am very happy with the bonus collector too!
i really don't have the money and i probably wouldn't do it if i had it because it annoys me how much they push that
any hints on the 9's? the one after the 50 st6... and the mi one - i am missing many mi words
exactly the same for me
but even though i only play 4 games i was starting to think i was taking too much time to play
i don't have a 9 yet trader
hi Kate! St9 same start, end with border, laterally placed
mi: was sorry for your sins in a wrong way
do you have the shortened cheap person?
mi4 the russian space craft?
yeah, it is easy to lose a lot of time in silly games. I limit myself too.
sprite, ty, got the mi one - had the root of it jmc, ty for the spacecraft... and parsing out sprite's other clue for the st...
oh good i wasn't sure that clue was clear
just got your shortened cheapo jmc, ty!

Does Your Mother Know That You're Out?
i didn't know if it was day or night. . . i started kissing everything in sight. . .
Oh, thank you very much, JMC. A modicum of encouragement, and I will sing and sing and sing.... Babblers, be warned...
*drags the pig away from jmc before she goes reallly wild*
pig??

but when i kiss a cop at thirty-first and vine they took my little bottle of. . . .
OK Clear the stage...... The Soodle version of The Winner Takes it All will leave neither a dry eye nor a dry pair of pants in the house....................
she was kissing everything in sight, right? So I thought I'd spare her kissing the pig.
haha
*takes off pants*
go Soodle!
as long as we are being preventative
I don't wanna talk....
i have to admit i have tears in my eyes . . . from laughing
...about things we've gone through.... Come on Soodle!

Sorting out my Isadora Duncan scarf....theatrically throwing it over my shoulder (a la Meryl Streep)....
There isn't enough liquor in the world for me to endure ABBA.

hi All. back again.
Aha So says Molly.. But Molly has never seen Soodle in full flight............... (yet)
hi Hego
Hi Flo
Never knew Soodle spoke French. lol
we're learning a lot about Soodle this afternoon, hego
Fly away Soodle. Just not to music that goes right into my inner ear and rattles around like razor blades.
Friday night for her Flo.
ah, she's unwinding after a busy day??
you got it.
Oh, if only you knew what ye were missing.......
I can only imagine.
Soodle whatever happened to your bum?
I see the beer truck is on it's way to you as we speak, Soodle
Hi Hego, Soodle, flosey, Molly
hi bichon
Hi Bichon
Got a late start here, only have 138 words
Isn't it Friday night for the rest of us too?
Flo said afternoon.
well, will be in a few hours Molly
LOL Hego. I lost 23lbs, and decided that most of that was off my ass, so I lost the Bum! Since then, I have lost another 10 lbs!!!!
But Soodle is well into the evening. ; 0
oops, that was either a gun shot or someone's tire blew
WTG Soodle. Do you have a weight loss goal
10.40 pm here.
That's a great story Soodle and good work!!
wtg Soodle, I'd like to lose a few from tummy and backside
you're 8 hours ahead of the west coast
Nope Bich..... If I see the weighing scales registering a loss, I am happy. But more significantly, if my clothes feel looser... then I'm happy.
Flosey, I'm sorry I can't tell you how Soodle lost the weight. This board is rated PG.
Like me too Soods
lol Molly, think I get the picture
Behave, Molly!!!!
that's not going to happen.
ahhhh, beautiful sunshine - we've had a bit of rain lately
Soodle, speaking of wet pants, you should see (and hear) the rapping Mother Superior card my son gave me for my birthday. Hilarious.
does anyone have a clue for the first de6 and 7 please?
I don't know if this is the first: de + no 4/4
de + not early
thanks bichon but that's the later one
Size 12 jeans now fit. (if I lie down on the bed and suck in my belly so much that my belly button is in danger of falling out my backside....) But. Size 12 IS size 12!

I haven't seen size 12 for eons
thanks Molly
lmao!
Can you walk and sit in them Soods?

Oh no.............. When was your birthday, Molly?
if you sang off key it would sound like you mi8 and pt

I get the first three letters flosey, but nothing after that
As a matter of fact I can, Hego... Clearly, the jeans have loads of that stretchy stuff in them...
good work!
ty flosey, got it now. Now all I need is the 10
Hurray for stretchy jeans, I say!
if you were jailed, you would be im10
Lycra..... Lycra. Thats what I was trying to think of re 'Stretchy Stuff'...
Hurray for Lycra, then.

Sorry Molly

Bye Flo
<deeply offended at Mol's summary dismissal of Soodle-warbling.
She has low ABBA tolerance.
LOL :-)
Well, things are going quiet here now. Probably a good time for me to bid you all a very good night. I will exit Babble, singing Does Your Mother Know....... LOL night all :-)
Nite Soodle

if you're still here cos, need a clue for pi6/21 - the first one
or anyone?
nm, got it
silly word
ni - more silly words
Agree Flosey, very silly.
the silly ones are frustrating because you just have to monkey every which way
I agree with that too and I don't feel like my vocabulary has been expanded as it's likely I will never use the words.
for sure
only reason to remember is they'll appear again
todays grid seems to have a higher percentage of wierd words than usual
I agree
often they can't even come up with a meaning for the word
like mi6/21 - forget to have lunch?
That word bugs me to no end.
I think it's when you accidentally choose the poisoned food...
Hi everyone! Just doing my daily reminder about the Babble meetup on November 10th. Details are in my profile.
and you're like "oops! I mi6!" and then you fall over dead
Oh, whatever would we do without Via : D
ah, good explanation viajes
:D
must go, bridge partner is calling
just stopping by; only home for a couple of minutes and then I have to leave again... be well!
Another drive-by from Via
okay, my roommate is not ready, so I have a few more minutes...
I put two brownies in the PB but one is laced with iokane powder... be careful not to mi6 or it will be the last thing you ever do
Finally got the clue on mi6 - thank you!
yay! it's in past tense and plural too
inconceivable!
that word you keep saying... I do not think it means what you think it means...
the mi 6 truly has been dealt with with sufficient gravitas. One obvious definition: v - To eat improperly
Besides, I once had a torrid affair with The Dread Pirate Roberts and I too, have developed an immunity to iokane powder. So there!
well then I guess you can take all the brownies without worry
Sicilian, schamilian. Never go against a tough Irish broad when death is on the line.
that's good advice
help with ta 5/10 (second one) and ta 6/18 - assume it is a combo - help please
ta6 just like chicken?
just be careful not to mi6 that chicken
okay, time to go... just wanted to say, you're all a bunch of titmice.
Duly noted.
I just really wanted to use that word, sorry :P
I think it's a bird. But it sounds like an insult. It was in the grid... yesterday? Two days ago? anyway... bye!
Those of us with a sense of humor, got it.
That word bugs me to no end.
** finito ** - finally got the ta 6
Congrats Teach
Well done, wvteach
hi all - done with shopping and dinner - back to finish
wtg teach!!
Hi smores. I just started and am having fun typing away.
yeah, it's a nice grid, lo4 of weird word though
*words
I have founf only 86
Hi all - funny how you miss the obvious words - I didn't have that lo4! So ty very much!!!
lol...yw
Go Liz!
I'm down to a few 4's
clue for we 6 /33 - not sure if it's the first or second! They're next to each other. I have the we 5/ 20 and the plural! Also have the we 4 /9 which I think is next but can't find the middle one!!!
I am no help
and the funky Friday grid is finito
Yay smores. Now your day can begin.
Well done!!!
we6/33 changed the last letter of the other we6/33
ty! Never thought about that combo!!!!
one of several very strange words
What makes a word strange?
hmmm, not sure BR
â–¸ adjective: being definitely out of the ordinary and unexpected; slightly odd or even a bit weird
that's how some would describe me.....lol
most actually
unfamiliar words might have those qualities ... perception is subjective
"strange" as a description of me is almost a compliment compared to other descriptions
Normal is overrated. I am proud to be different.
I do not allow others to define me.
Good strategy. I wish more people would do that. I make a point of being a non-conformist.
There never will be a consensus about what is normal ... there always will be change .... and what statistically might be considered normal changes too.
me too, make 'em wonder....;p;
Yep
agreed BR - what is considered normal changes all the time
I'm just me, the rest of the world can take it or leave it..lol
The debate about the viability of the changes proposed in the DSM V goes on and on
Good perspective
It's awful, isn't it, BR?
Yep
Too many states of the human condition are being labeled as psychopathology.
I am as8/45, de7/32 runs rampant
sorry, couldn't help myself...lol
The models currently being used do not work .... insurance companies, big pharma and the government all have influences and objectives that do not make the welfare of the people the top priority.
no time to worry about the people when there is so much money and power to be had
When a court upholds the right of one big pharma to pay a huge sum to another big pharma not to market a generic medication that will devastate the market share of the first and allow the first to price gouge .... hard to have any confidence in leadership
isn't it 5 years on the patents now before the generics can be made?
Big Pharma makes people think they have conditions which they don't or need drugs which they don't
Fortunately, the chemical imbalance crusade is being discredited .... but Congress shares the blame by allow big pharma to do direct advertising
agreed, the number of ads are ridiculous, as are the types of ads
I read an article by a psychiatrist recently. He said that the diagnosis of bipolar disorder no longer means much because it is overdiagnosed.
I remember when it started a few years ago with all the erectile dysfunction ads, my youngest was about 8 or 9 then
I no, bad pms would now be considered bipolar
*know (wow, I'm losing it)
I'm sure they have something I could take for that though
Preschoolers are now diagnosed with bipolar disorder and ADHD. The typical state of young kids IS to be inattentive, impulsive, have tantrums, etc.
When placebos are as advantageous as prescriptive meds, except perhaps in the more serious cases, and a 14% success rate is considered viable ... something is very wrong
True.
wow 14% that is outrageous
Alright, I have had enough now that I passed halfway. Night-night to all.
good night srabbler - sweet dreams
Be well
I'm gonna go as well, Grimm starts in a couple minutes
night BR take care :)
Be well, smores
Good evening Babblers
hi everyone! hi wht. clue for the ta6 after the not short?
Add h** not hers to the not short
Hi Wht and LBD
ty Molly!
LBD, I saw a funny Maxine card yesterday. "Ever get the feeling your stuff strutted off without you?" : D
LOL, oh boy have I! maxine just says those things that are so true for me!
Oh good. I was beginning to think I was working away on the grid by myself.
No Wht, you are not al5
2 left...after a long day at work finishing up what i started at o'dark early this morning.
LBD needs a hot shower and a stiff drink.
Glad to know that Molly.
amen to that, Molly! and tadone!! finito!!
Well done
wtg lbd
some very odd words today.
LBD, do you have a long commute? Is that why you have to get up so early.
had to read the hot shower line twice
Did you think it was a stiff shower and a hot drink?
Gutter, gutter mind. : P
<--- 100% male
*wonders how this conversation started but afraid to look*
Well, you know how it goes when you use the word stiff. It's just a step above turgid.
haha
its nearly halloween. . . stiff is bound to come up!
Molly, no, my commute is only about 5 miles. i'm up early just cuz my body says "Wake UP!!" and so i do. but i do have weird shifts that make getting up early conducive to being a good habit.
Only in a dead conversation.
ru are you going to let that comment just lie there?
the only stiff thing around me are my joints...aches and pains thanks to arthur-itis
I think he is going to bury it, jmc
i can't get a rise out of him?
I have a certain esprit de corpse
LBD has joints. Party time!
you are so transparent ru
*gets out the bong*
*blows the dust off the bong*
*cough cough cough*
transparent sounds like a crossdressing mother
ruru is just ghosting along.
come ru get in the spirit of things
I'm feeling too grave
I'm seeing you just can expect respect here you have to urn it
i could really dig a good pun right now
a tisket a tasket a green and yellow casket
wht is looking a little ashen too
that's a hole different thing
The fire has gone out, jmc.
where there is smoke there is fire
So you got the bong lit, jmc or is that one of lbd's joints?
omg I'm consorting with druggies
Doobie, doobie doo.
she has to give me a joint to fill it up to light. . . I can't make we** out of nothing
From the conversation in the chog earlier, it is not clear whether it is druggies or drugists.
I"m hoping to hash this our

*starts making a picket sign saying "ruru unfair to cabana boys"*
*sets cabana boys free*
We can't get rid of the Penalty Box. Where would we put the food?
and the chocolate.
And the drinks
see wht agrees and everyone knows that wht is the king
:-P
chocolate is out too
That is just wrong.
And for God's sake, don't have a sense of humor about anything. You will be accused of all kinds of treachery.
don't tell stid. . . she will get ill just thinking about no more chocolate
From the puns I have come up with tonight, I don't think there is any evidence of a sense of humor.
that's fine.. she doesn't spell it right anyways :D
haha well puns are made for groans
What Ru said, that I wasn't gonna say.
since i can't spell it made me no never mind how stid spelled it
groans are definitely accepted here
I need to be going. Mrs wht just came home and brought me a book "The Naked Quaker" True Crimes and Controversies from the Courts of Colonial New England.
the NAKED QUAKER!!!!!
Ooo, Kinky stuff at the Wht house.
uh oh
She and a friend had dinner at the Wayside Inn and it was in the gift shop.
oh wht do you know quakers in new haven or should i ask jonathan?
or is that NYYM?
I'm reading the Mormon Moron : the numbers don't lie
Jonathan would be a better bet.
okay thanks
have fun with the naked quaker *snicker*
naked quaker...isn't that an oxymoron? brain dead, heading for my pillows, have a great evening everyone. see you tomorrow.
New Haven is still NEYM.
no no i have been naked before lbd
I will jmc.
There are often naked Quakers in my house.
I think Mrs. Wht had some drinks at The Wayside Inn.
OK. I need to go now. We are going to call our son. BBL I hope.

Hi ru.

Or... do you mean they're not there yet? lol
Ahh, ok. Haha! Wasn't sure what you meant.

Yep. I have an old dad... who DJs.

Well... he says he's "old" anyhow. lol
No, but HE thinks so.
he's younger than me goddammit
He's turning 54 next month... on the 14th.
he's younger than i am too
that's young
But not by much?
is he a quaker?
Haha.
You know what we are. :P
??
just wondered if he was naked all the time
✡
Obviously not. :P He'd get fired from his job, for one thing... wouldn't be too smart.
shabbat shalom
who would know?
Haha, thank you... even though I'm not observant at all. Very secular.
Who would know what?
Who would know if he showed up to work naked?
right
he's on the radio
No!
we've been discussing naked quakers
presumably the bus driver
He's a part-time DJ... but not on the radio.
He DJs at special functions.
oh.. sorry. I misunderstood
Bus? He DRIVES to work. :P
He works as a program manager at Novatel Wireless... that's his full-time day job.
then he'd have to be dressed
toll both operator?
And I doubt they'd appreciate him showing up to work sans clothing, somehow.
yeah.. you kinda have to be buff for that
You log in and then log out again, ru?
On GT?
just checked emails.. nothing there
if you are naked you are in the buff anyway
so true
Speaking of naked... see my Oct. 1st update on profile, jmc. Go to the link in that to hear me tell the tale of my most em-bare-ass-ing situation EVER.
okay nbs and 1/2 way so to bed for me. . .
got to run to the cottage.. time to be mr. clean
No, ru. I didn't send an email. I saw you log into GT so I said something... but you left again.
i will have to catch it later neil. . . but i will bookmark it now
Ahh, or use some Mr. Clean anyway.

I've heard of Face Time... don't know how it works though. I think you need a fancy phone ??
true, di...I have a smartphone (iphone)...but we also use it via iPad
(so, basically, an Apple product)
yes... just reading now. I don't have any Apple products except my old "pink" i-pod !
my dau talked me into the iphone...work gave me an ipad (for meetings and conferences)
I do also use Skype...
hello all
my three daughters and several of the granddaughters have ipads... pretty amazing things !
hiya cos :)
Hi cosdem :-)
they're pretty fun, di...come in handy for a variety of things that, of course, most think we can't live without! :)
Oh, it did come in handy this past weekend...
...big community event down at a local park...
...kids wanted me to walk up and stand on the suspended footbridge...
...I made it to the edge before opting out...
...dau couldn't figure out why...
...until I showed her my heart rate (taken via an app I have on my iphone)...
...then she understood!
LOL....
resting heartrate = 75; going to the footbridge = 120
you can measure your heart rate via an app?
yep!
I wnet ot a teachers conference this week and one of the seminars was given by 8 yr olds, showing what thye could do using iPads and apps :-)
what's the app called Pini?
it was probably kinda scarey, wasn't it, glant?
My daughter has some app that scans the bar code on products and gives her calorie content and a bunch of other information. Scary, for sure !
Apparently 2 yr olds are using them in school now...
It's called "Instant Heart Rate"
It was kinda fun, but the teahcers were saying that there are so many apps and it's hard to tell which are good and which are not so good
Di, my dau and I have scanned barcodes to make our shoping lists!
My gson just turned 3...he's a whiz
ty, I'll try downloading that - I hve one called My fitness pal or something similar - it's a food and exercise diary, and you can monitor your weight loss by measurements and graphs and it has a database of every food you can imagine, and you can scan barcodes of food into ti too, really helping m otive me to lose weight and do more exercise
I want to play dress up, Barbies and sing songs with my little great grandbaby as long as I can.. BUT the little monkey can already play some little farm game on her auntie's ipad.... opens the barn door and imitates all the animals... etc. OH MY !
that's cool, Glant...I use "MapMyWalk" at work when I walk around campus on errands
we all good today?
But i ansolutely HATE playing Babble on the iPad - predictive text and keyboard bobbing up and down LOL
Morning Cos
I love doing those things, too, di...in fact, we spend more time doing those things than we do on the electronics...I don't want my grandkids to miss out on DIY funtimes!
night glan :)
I haven't tried that yet, Glant...thanks for the heads up...
doing well, cos, yourself?
I'd love to play real games with my grandchildren but they are in Cyprus, so Skype keeps us going between visit
