I knew that, ruru, which is why I tried them -- my Irish oenophilic friend also did, used to choose them over there too.

12:19 am

hey broll, come to join in the mad 'tea' party?

12:19 am

So different and zingier from other Sauv Blancs! Any idea why?

12:19 am

colder climate

12:20 am

always lurking

12:20 am

Maybe they'd be good here, ruru?

12:20 am

prefer a nice red!

12:20 am

Hi broll

12:20 am

hi jilli

12:20 am

maybe.. needs some heat though

12:20 am

I side with the white wine crowd....

12:20 am

Oh, I like reds too -- lots of varieties

12:21 am

I thnk our climate is very similar to NZ's

12:21 am

Actually if it's a good wine, who cares what colour?

12:21 am

Are there any Canadian wines?

12:21 am

Well, southern NZ?

12:21 am

ro 7 x 2, so 7 x 2

12:21 am

I like Pinots from new zealand

12:21 am

12:24 am

Sevearal Okanakan, BC wineries

12:24 am

12:25 am

And VAncouver Island is becoming a wine country.

12:26 am

12:28 am

There are some really nice Aussie wines - I know French ones better!

12:28 am

12:29 am

I love Torbreck wines, Killakanoon Oracle, Noon eclipse, and certain mollydookers

Tell him that I have the same plans.

8:03 am

He said "there you go".

8:20 am

Hello across the pond.

8:20 am

hi sprite

8:20 am

*waves across the waters*

8:20 am

hi dear all. How's life for you and how's today's grid?

8:20 am

hi again, was off reading mail and whatnot

8:21 am

wb doube U sue. How are things going?

8:21 am

How are you and Frank?

8:21 am

scrabbs, Bobby likes to look at and read baseball books especially teams from the 1800 and early 1900. He has a small library of such books. I get him a book for his birthday every year.

8:21 am

ok, sprite, didn't get good news on Thursday but we are gearing up for the fight

8:21 am

Has Bobby been to Cooperstown?

8:22 am

scrabs, thanks for sending us to the U of Chicago - they were very helpful and will be on board with us now

8:22 am

so sorry to hear that :( Will check your profile.

8:22 am

scrabbs, Yes he has.

8:22 am

(((sue)))

8:23 am

Annie, how are you doing in the aftermath of the hurricane? I've caught snippets and it sounds like it will be a while until things are back to normal.

8:24 am

sue, could I please read the caring bridge reports?

8:24 am

Sue, I just read the update. I ALWAYS recommend to get to a comprehensive cancer center and get 2nd and 3rd opinions. Too many people are passive when it comes to health care, especially serious medical problems.

8:24 am

sue, We still have no power. Working off generators. All the transformers and wires have to be replaced since they were underground and ruined.

8:25 am

sprite, you have to sign up for the site, all it needs is your email and then you set up a password

8:25 am

Sue, get Frank on vitamin D--antioxidant and immune system booster. www.vitamindcouncil.org

8:25 am

oh ok, will do, thank you

8:25 am

will do, scrabs

8:25 am

wow, annie, sounds like it will be a long haul!!

8:26 am

Annie, I didn't know generators were being used.

8:26 am

scrabs, our local cancer center has ties to Loyola and the University of Wisconsin also; we will see them on Monday and get things rolling

8:26 am

another month should do it. huge generators for each building.

8:27 am

Great--get cutting-edge oncologists involved.

8:27 am

they already find him interesting and unusual, which is good

8:28 am

Good, you want docs that join in the battle rather than seem hopeless.

8:29 am

exact;y, and even the one with the not-so-good prediction didn't seem at all hopeless

8:29 am

*exactly (darn fingers)

8:29 am

*hugs sue* My best wishes to you and Frank and I will keep on keeping you in my prayers.

8:30 am

thanks, sprite!

8:30 am

Frank is also in my prayers.

8:31 am

thanks to you too, annie, and we will be hoping for quick repairs to your transformers and wires!

8:32 am

Sue, our most recent patient with cancer is a 13 yr old boy with abdominal pain and weight loss for 1 mo. He presented with a bowel obstruction and was diagnosed with Burkitt lymphoma. Tell Frank to think of Nathaniel as he endures his recovery and treatment. Frank is not alone.

8:33 am

how awful, Scrabs :(

8:34 am

Sad and scary.

8:34 am

just awful

8:36 am

I just realized that today is December 1st

8:36 am

8:42 am

64 left and I need a break. Maybe I'll be back later today.

8:42 am

bye Scrabs, all the best :)

8:42 am

I also have to start my day, bye dear babblers

8:42 am

bye Annie *hug*

8:46 am

Is there a list anywhere?

8:47 am

hi grant, sorry, I don't know. Try Volleymomdee, Haz or Molly, they often have one.

8:47 am

List in my profile

8:47 am

TX guys

8:48 am

yvw :)

8:48 am

good morning my babble friends:))

8:48 am

crossy! *hugs*

8:49 am

((sprite))

8:51 am

Morning all!!

8:51 am

quite an evil grid, it seems

8:51 am

hiya Mimi :D

8:53 am

{sprite}

8:54 am

howdy mimi

8:55 am

Kind of slow today....my Dodger cat had another seizure at 4 this morning. Hate when that happens (about once a month). Nothing I can do but be supportive.

8:56 am

{crossy}

8:56 am

aw Mimi, that is so sad :(

8:56 am

After he has one and is back up, he goes around crying for a couple of hours....breaks my heart.

8:57 am

epilepsy?

8:57 am

diabetic?

8:57 am

I can imagine

8:59 am

No one knows for sure if he has epilepsy but that's what I think it might be. I don't want him on medication every day for something that happens infrequently as the medication can be a problem. I thought he had outgrown it about a year ago since he didn't have one for several months. They told me that can happen. I just give him lots of love and he always comes right back to his feisty self after a couple of hours.

9:00 am

that last bit is good :)

9:00 am

you had a vet look at him?

9:01 am

I spoke with two vets and the only thing they said they could do was a neurological workup but I have no money for something like that and they told me it could only diagnose the problem (maybe) and do nothing to fix it.

9:01 am

we have a vet in house here in babble land.jesdragon,she may have some advice

9:02 am

poor kitty

9:03 am

yes they are expensive.just over a year os so ago we had a giant cyst on one of our cats tails explode and killed all the nerves in her tail so half of it had to be but off..was 1600 dollars by the time all was said and done

9:04 am

cut

9:04 am

aw poor baby

9:04 am

now she has a stubby tail:))

9:05 am

morning all :)

9:05 am

I have Terra insured. If *knock wood* anything ever happens to him, he will get the care he needs no matter the costs. Or I hope, anyway.

9:05 am

hiya smores :)

9:05 am

Morning all

9:05 am

I'll talk to her when I see her here. But I've worked with animals a lot and know much about cat health myself and have researched it thoroughly. Just one of those things that remains in the gray area. Even if I wanted to medicate him it would be nearly impossible to do so....just that kind of cat. But he is happy the rest of the time and very affectionate with me. Since he and his sister were strays (so was my other cat) at least he has a good home now.

9:05 am

hi Mr Bob

9:05 am

{{SMORES}}

9:05 am

Hi, Bob!

9:05 am

did a budget graph for last 3 years and we spend roughly 3 times the cash flow on our 3 cats than the three humans get over the same time period lol

9:06 am

howdy bob

9:06 am

It just isn't an option for me right. I can't even afford to go to the doctor myself and need to do so badly. Until my SSI comes in, I'm broke.

9:07 am

{Mimi}

9:07 am

darn Mimi :( That is bad.

9:07 am

what is ssi?

9:07 am

hi all

9:07 am

howdy sue

9:07 am

hi sue!

9:07 am

Hi, sue!

9:07 am

Social Security Income - kind of like disability.

9:08 am

i love all my southern friends,but your insurance med system is nutso!!!

9:08 am

Sprite, I just concentrate on what I DO have and let that be my focus. No point doing otherwise.

9:08 am

here we have universal health care.everyone pays at tax time.everyone is covered.working,not working,living on street,everyone gets health care.period

9:09 am

Happy Saturday, kids!

9:09 am

I agree, crossy. Here in Arizona they changed our state healthcare to exclude anyone who doesn't have young children---how nuts is that? Arizona makes NO sense politically. I wish we had the Canadian system here but I doubt we ever will.

9:09 am

Mimi, been in that place a couple of times too... you are right. But I wish better for you, and SO4 ;)

9:09 am

Hi, Judi!

9:09 am

hi Judi, to you too

9:10 am

Was reading back in chat about animal costs. I share your laments. Just the food alone. Oy. The critters eat better than the humans in our house.

9:11 am

well,if obamacare is done correctly,it will bring you halfway there.it looks kind of like our old o.H.I.P system we had right before we went universal health care

9:11 am

don't they just, grin

9:11 am

Thanks, sprite. My lawyer thinks the money will be coming through in a couple of months. In the meantime, I have to find rent money every month and it's stressing me out completely. My cardiologist is afraid I'll have another heart attack from the stress since I'm having chest pain again.

9:11 am

(9mimi))

9:12 am

Thanks for the support....didn't mean to bring everyone down this morning. Let's change the subject and get happy!!

9:12 am

omg I can so imagine. Nothing as scary as risking losing a place to live. *sending positive vibes to Mimi and busloads full of helping angels*

9:12 am

That's not good Mimi. Any family around who can float you a loan?

9:13 am

subject change..mmm..how about bacon and breakfast food??? :)))))

9:13 am

*nodding* Tummy growling.

9:14 am

Judi, my family has been taking care of it for quite some time but are now unable to do so. My ex even paid my rent a few times. I have wonderful friends who help as much as they can and there are organizations that also help. Just take it one day at a time.

9:14 am

Crossy, all roads lead to bacon!! I'm going to have chicken paprikash for breakfast. At least the government gives me a decent food allowance!

9:16 am

Ooh. My step-mother used to make that. Her Hungarian specialty. Are you Hungarian, mimi?

9:17 am

I just noticed that those who live in Indiana should be offended by today's grid. "Hoosier" is not accepted.

9:18 am

Nope, Irish. I make it differently from the traditional Hungarian. Mine is more tomato-based.

9:18 am

fireflies. Not the easiest of grids. Off to my little bed again... bye all *hugs*

9:18 am

Ah. *Fond memories of chicken paprikash*.

9:19 am

Sleep well, sprite and big hugs to you, too!

9:19 am

We're off to get our own breakfast! See y'all later! *POOF*

9:19 am

crossy will make breakfast for the p.b..lets see..how,s about 3 eggs western omelette with mushrooms,sweet valencia onions and apple wood smoked quebec cheddar and some mini potato pancakes with ice cold apple sauce for dipping,a few rashers of apple wood smoked,maple kissed bacon and a big glass of chilled orange juice to wash it all down

9:20 am

My recipe isn't that difficult and I had so many people asking for it that I finally wrote it down. If you want it, send me an em (in my profile) and I'll happily send it to you.

9:21 am

Now I'm REALLY hungry, crossy!!

sounds delicious crossy! i'll leave some of the banana bread with chocolate chips that my DH made last night in there too.

9:22 am

Gotta go have breakfast now that crossy has made me start to salivate!! Back later in the day. Bye all.

9:28 am

I'm back, oldest daughter is sick and needed some Mom time

9:29 am

not feeling all that great myself now, hope I'm just tired from being up with her and not getting it.

9:30 am

9:31 am

9:58 am

I found 38 words (with your help) but most of them are stupid!

9:59 am

this os 4 is right after the oo4

10:00 am

cross, a friend of mine found a chemical that cures breast cancer in animals. it has been 5 years since and the committees are still meeting to allow human studies. it is not the scientists who are the problem, it is the lawyers and the legal world and beaurocracy that are the problem. it is terrible. just beyond belief. the u.s. used to have great medicine but now it is all stymied by the beaurocrats here. this is all in response to your site about you. i pray you never again have cancer.

10:00 am

did we settle what the second row o is?

10:00 am

i have all o words from the o's with one exception: the o in fourth row and second o down. just to by clear.

10:01 am

the o double s words are from the o on top row.

10:01 am

mkg: that is awful. I'm a 22 yr survivor of breast cancer and feel very lucky that it was a really ordinary (and curable) one!

10:01 am

I just clued it

10:01 am

There is another os4, mkg.

10:02 am

I didn't know that ruby, but congrats to you. My Mom has had breast cancer twice, once when she was 35. She's 88 now

10:02 am

o from the second row, pls

10:02 am

I feel lucky every day

10:02 am

os + **e we there yet? mkg

10:03 am

ruby, you must write to your congressman and senators. tell them you heard that at NIH a scientist has a cure for breast cancer in animals and why isnt there human studies being done? it has been in committees for 5 years!!!!!!!!!!! and get all your fellow survivors to write and call.

10:03 am

there4 are many potential cures out there right now mkg.in canada we have a fella who may have found one,but the drug in question is cheap to buy and not copyrighted so no pharmacutical company will fund the next round of testing because there is no profit in it,so he is going to the government to try and fund it

10:03 am

THAT WAS IT NONNIE! ty.

10:03 am

how many words today?

10:03 am

10:03 am

nah, I do not expect others to do the grid for me.

10:04 am

as + twin sheet ***

10:05 am

sorry, that's the 4th column

10:05 am

I think that one comes from the 3rd column, bichon.

10:05 am

as to the cancer stuff, i really suggest that we all write and call and do what we can to stop the horrible beaurcracy at the NIH and in govt. many doctors cant get the info out to the public. years pass. people die and suffer from diseases. it is not good.

10:05 am

any help I get is appreciated as I have so little time

10:06 am

twin sheet? dont know that third word.

10:06 am

oops I can't count...4th column! lol

10:06 am

as+female name.

10:06 am

mkg: I think overtreatment of breast and prostate cancer is a big problem, too.

10:07 am

10:07 am

can i get a clue for the os 5/10 please

10:07 am

overtreatment? not sure what you mean. but if a cure is out there it must come to human trial and to market. a cure is unknown now.

10:07 am

indeed ruby! prostate cancer is waaay overtreated

10:08 am

i go genaric unless i know there is a real difference in how you feel.

10:08 am

os + comparative ending

10:08 am

ty bichon

10:08 am

it is a slow growing cancer and many people pounce on it and spend the rest of their life with a colostomy bag when they could of lived out their entire lives with it with little harm

10:08 am

i have that os bichon. ty.

10:08 am

most men test positive for prostate cancer once they are past 60, but that is probably not what will kill them

10:08 am

Has anyone heard about the problems with one of the generic Lipitors. It had ground glass in it. Made by an Indian company

10:08 am

any clues for the 8s??

10:09 am

OMG!

10:10 am

check this out mkg...

10:10 am

i know the prostate thing. and yes it is over treated. we go to hopkins for this kiind of stuff and dont get overtreated for things like that ruby. it is hard to find good doctors today . that is another problem. so many dont know and dont find out.

10:40 am

?

10:40 am

like someone I know

10:41 am

got it, ty both

10:42 am

I have re, tr, and ha 8 .. what is the last one?

10:42 am

as

10:42 am

Much like the re

10:42 am

thanks

10:42 am

all the 8's done

10:43 am

<---picks up clues pretty fast today :D

10:43 am

ooh wildcat is here again..

10:43 am

Savant clue getter

10:44 am

omg where did you find that icon Molly..it's perfect

10:44 am

Wildcat is here every day. Apparently it doesn't bother her to have stolen money from people here.

10:45 am

no.. most sociopaths could care less I think Molly

10:51 am

And while stealing in itself is awful, I find it particularly awful to steal from people who were attempting to help someone in need. It's like robbing the Salvation Army guy ringing the bell.

10:52 am

exactly

10:52 am

or knocking over a beggar to grab their plate

10:53 am

And then to show up at the scene of the crime every day? Brass balls man. Brass balls.

10:54 am

did anyone make a list??

10:54 am

List in my profile SMom.

10:55 am

ruru i agree with your post totally

10:55 am

thanks molly... and i like your icon

10:55 am

indeed molly

10:58 am

and to think lisa juarez is a school teacher trusted with other peoples children...

10:59 am

I LOVE her icon

11:00 am

thank god there is caring bridge for such things now and we need never have this happen again

11:00 am

I didn't know caring bridge sent money, that's great.

11:01 am

Wow, guess I really am oblivious to things that happen here.

11:01 am

yes.. i learned a big lesson crossy.. I won't do that again

11:01 am

May have been before you joined, Jill.

11:01 am

brb

11:02 am

and thanks to you ru,as you had a large stake in this and i take blame in some of this as i did not research lisa as much as should of been done and you were forgiving in all things

11:03 am

Was it before 2009 Molly?

11:04 am

Brief synopsis...a member and her family were having problems and needed money. Another member offered to collect money for the member in need, and then never sent the money. Don't remember when it was.

11:05 am

we all learned the hard way:((

11:05 am

I'm not sure how much you can research someone when it comes to something like this. It was a matter of trust, and that trust was broken in a big way.

11:06 am

SOME was sent..just a tease i think,300-500 dollars,but by my best guestimate somewhere in the area of 3-4000 dollars was "diverted"

11:06 am

possibly more than that crossy

11:06 am

quite possible

11:07 am

I'm usually very wary of online requests. Agree with Crossy that areas like Caring Bridge should be used

11:07 am

Very sorry to know of this.

11:07 am

one of our babble lawyers looked into it and i imagine he/she went as far as they could with it

11:07 am

yeah.. she'll have to roll her school kids now for change

11:08 am

i am a firm believer in karma

11:08 am

take their lunch money or something like that

11:08 am

I certainly hope Karma will deal with it...

11:09 am

karma usually does

11:09 am

well, have my 8's, going to get going on Christmas prep chores...bbl

11:10 am

clue please for the last st 6/18

11:11 am

never mind... duh

11:11 am

i smacked myself for that one

11:13 am

i don see it

11:14 am

From what I understand, the only money received was that sent through PayPal. That is a secure way to send money that can't be messed with. The personal checks sent to Wildcat (and it was a substantial amount) were never sent.

11:15 am

that's correct

11:17 am

hi folks

11:17 am

howdy welki

11:17 am

I don't see any way on Caring Bridge to send money directly to someone. I see ways to donate to Caring Bridge. What am I missing?

11:18 am

sorry molly.i may be wrong in this.i have yet to look at caring bridge carefully

11:18 am

nothing, molly. money donated to caring bridge does not go to the person you're making the donation for - they allocate donations

11:19 am

ty for clarification welki:))

11:19 am

Okay, I get it now. Looks like Paypal is still the best way to give directly to someone. Or mail it to them directly.

11:19 am

i found that out when mkg's grandson was ill

11:20 am

my banker tells me they are on the verge of being able to offer e-mail money transfers

11:20 am

LIsa could set up a new organization called the Uncaring Bridge though

11:20 am

lol ru

11:20 am

so rip off artists like we got saddled with will be a thing of the past

I just signed in.... read a bit of the recent chat and must offer my opinion. I think it is a case of one person's word against another. I feel it was a big scam from the very start. ..... just my feeling on it.

11:21 am

theives will always find a way around the system, crossy

11:21 am

a scam on whose part, diane? (and hi!)

11:21 am

well,never again diane

11:22 am

not really diane.. we sent $ I did.. it never made it to Mr P like the paypal thing It isn't one person's word against another. it's a rip off plain and simple

11:22 am

i sent money, too

11:22 am

Diane, I understand your point.

And if people sent cheques, where they actually deposited ?

11:22 am

yes

hi welki :-)

11:22 am

did any who sent cheques get back the cancelled ones? ru?

11:23 am

i made a payment online

11:23 am

mine cleared

11:23 am

and what bank was it drawn on?

11:23 am

it was a cashier's check

11:23 am

ah

I never got into the chat at that time, but certainly did some reading.... too much drama and too many conflicting statements.

11:23 am

would love to see the cancellation stamp of her local bank on one

11:24 am

or deposit stamp..you know what i mean

So if it cleared, the money was never received by the person in need ? Therein is the big IF.... one person's word against another. Has Lisa ever denied , commented or defended herself on this ??

11:25 am

i would not think mrp would lie about getting or not getting the money

11:25 am

ru - they outdid themselves last night. while making a big deal over some (nice) pinot grigio, one of them said that it reminded them of a pinot NOOOR! *what grape is this?* was another biggie last night

11:26 am

That is the problem Diane. When asked repeatedly, Lisa has never given her side of the story.

11:26 am

i wrote to her several times

11:26 am

yes, diane. she told me that she "didn't know" why the money never got there, that she would 'look into it" and get back to me - never did, never answered any other emails

11:26 am

no response

11:26 am

and i see she is still highly active on fb

11:26 am

she said it was a 'bank problem'

11:26 am

And the problem with those checks is that they were made out to Lisa. Which makes it, in effect and legally, not stealing for her to have cashed the checks.

11:27 am

Pinot gris is NOTHING like Pinot Noir Welki.. your wine friends don't know what they are talking about

11:27 am

therin lies the problem molly

11:27 am

yeah bank problem.. her account was empty and we loaded it up

11:27 am

That is the part of all this I never understood.

11:28 am

i don't know which is which - but i do know that 'noir' is not pronounced "noooooor"

It's just very sad if that's the case. I guess a lesson learned by trusting and giving people. You people certainly tried then.

11:28 am

it is all pronounced over priced grape juice lol

11:28 am

I learned a big life lesson Diane

11:28 am

all avenues at recompense were tried diane

yes ruru... we can learn forever.

11:29 am

it is actually pronounce no r OR no_WHAR

11:29 am

Not NOOOOR

11:29 am

diane, if i hadn't corresponded with her directly - and mind you, when she sees me in the other word game i play, she disappears like a THIEF IN THE NIGHT - I'd be inclined to think like you, that there's more than one side of the story

I am such a trusting person.... I don't know why the "warning bells" went off that time, but they did

11:30 am

ru, i know noir. i speaka a petit peu

11:30 am

Again Diane, I agree. I had the same warning bells about the whole situation. But I have seen internet scams before, on both sides of things.

11:30 am

*spitting out coffee* on BOTH sides?

and "noir' is a word used in babble, although tres French !!

11:30 am

I love it when people try to affect their speech on wine.. but it makes it rough on people who want to learn about wine

11:31 am

oh fer pete's sakes, ru - it would have driven you to drink. a 20 min discussion on why one wine didn't make it over from europe - just gimme a glass of something!

11:32 am

oh god..

11:32 am

oh - it was zoga

'now I'm singing Joni Mitchell's "Both Sides Now" in my head !

11:32 am

That's why I avoid people like that

11:32 am

voga, not zoga

11:32 am

<-- olga from the volga

11:32 am

voga?

11:33 am

more like 'who's zoomin' who," diane :)

11:33 am

♪It's life's illusions ♪ I recall ♫

11:33 am

yes voga

11:33 am

I don't understand what wine didn't make it over from Europe?

11:33 am

hehehe - they shake their heads, they say i'm strange (and they're 100% on the money!)

11:33 am

some greek wine

11:34 am

oh

11:34 am

ef haristo

11:34 am

ru,sent you an e-mail

11:34 am

ok..thanks crossy

I saw that wine conversation.... wanted to add that I used to love lindemans porphyry pearl wine, but you might have laughed at me.... not a connoisseur's wine for sure !!

11:35 am

never heard of it diane

11:35 am

lindeman's I know though

11:36 am

I used to sell Lindemans

11:36 am

that was a LOOOOONG time ago

11:36 am

haldiki or elios, i can't remember

It was a good "card playing" sipping wine.... ( Australian) , but has been discontinued... probably 30 years ago !!

11:36 am

wine is a waste on me,give me something that can be drunk,run a car,sterilize wounds and clean any surface,something about 55% alc by volume;)

11:37 am

kanenas or boutari for red - i think it was the red that didn't make it across the pond. i lost interest and stopped listening when the waiter (not a steward) started talking about shipping compartments and a bad season

11:38 am

i'll drink a glass to be polite, but i'd rather have a cocktail or a beer. (tried black sambuca last night after dinner, deeelish!)

11:38 am

the interesting thing is greek wine has really improved in the last decade

11:39 am

welki i like the pain zambuca and you float 3 coffee beans on it and set it afire for 15 seconds extinguish and enjoy

11:39 am

plain

11:40 am

it'll give you a pain if you drink enough of it

11:40 am

lol,set crossy,s beard on fire;)

11:41 am

well.. I am going to have to list. I can't find anything else

11:42 am

i also have hit a wall

11:42 am

thinking about it too, ru - or try to tackle this knitting with 4 needles at the same time thing - makes me want some pinto nooooooor

11:44 am

I lately have been enjoying inexpensive country wines from france and liking their simplicity and lower alcohols and freshness. I think it's more about what goes best with the food you're eating

11:46 am

if you could suggest a nice light and semi-dry white, i'd give it a shot (if i can find it here). husband is a die hard valpolicella guy

11:46 am

keep the wine and lets all have some of crossy,s famous martini,s!

11:46 am

now that all I can see is "santa" and "hoho" I think I'll take a break!

11:46 am

yum - hohos!

11:46 am

A booor uses nooor. New word...not Wino, but Wiknow(ItAll) : D

11:46 am

yes that one as well!

11:47 am

My phantom today is asshat. : P

11:47 am

LOL molly

11:48 am

all this wine and cocktail talk makes me glad to be a designated driver ;-)

11:48 am

ok,martini,s are ready!

11:49 am

isn't that what they call CHaps molly?

11:49 am

take a large chilled martini glass and add 3 ounces of gibleys gin OR 3 ounces of ketel 1 vodka- now take a sterling silver cocktail sword and spear 3 pimento olives for gin,or 3 pearl onions if vodka and gently float it into the glass so as to not bruise the alcohol-now lean over the glass and gently whisper "Antonio Benedetto Carpano" and serve

11:49 am

hehe

11:49 am

you can add lemon or orange zest to keep scurvy away

11:50 am

you should be whispering thanks to mr. carpano :)

11:50 am

welki.. not sure what makes it to Canada.. but you can try any good inexpensive Macon Villages from France, or a Touraine Sauvignon Blanc, or a Vermentino from Italy.. no oak, crisp, fresh and goes with a lot of foods

11:50 am

lol

11:51 am

make sure the vintage is current and as young as possible

11:51 am

i like the way vermentino sounds - if i don't like it, i can change spelling to vermintino!

11:51 am

*putting this into iphone*

11:51 am

lol

11:52 am

Vermentino is a grape in Italy that has a citrus/lemony taste and hints of fennel.. it is really dry and is great with all kinds of things

11:52 am

ohhh, i think i'd like that!!

11:53 am

should be about $12-$14 Max even for the really good ones. they're usually not too pricey

11:54 am

I make a chicken, fennel risotto and it's perfect with that

11:54 am

gotta go - house is saying, 'welki, cleannnnnnn me'

11:54 am

sounds yummy!!

12:28 pm

I'm so sick of stuff like this...Bankrupt Hostess, who is putting thousands of people out of work, is giving their executives hefty bonuses.

12:28 pm

that is awful, molly

12:29 pm

And the unions got blamed instead!

12:30 pm

If this country weren't so apathetic, I'd say we're going to have a revolution. But people are too damned lazy to get out and protest injustice anymore.

12:31 pm

Amen and hallelujah, Molly!! Does no one remember the 60's but us? If we're not very careful the Chinese will take over the world economy.

12:31 pm

... problem is the modern meaning of injustice ... ... "anything that I don't want" ...

12:32 pm

of course, in France, they would rather take to the streets and protest than go to work

12:32 pm

Yes, dose, it seems that right and wrong are now flexible concepts.

12:32 pm

Not really Dose. Not when people are out of work and losing their homes, and the rich just keep on getting richer.

12:32 pm

here, plumbers make more than doctors

12:33 pm

and vets make more than plumbers

12:33 pm

Too bad Communism doesn't seem to work---the theory is good, just not practical.

12:33 pm

yes the vet fees are crazy here too.

12:35 pm

... sorry ... I live in a jurisdiction where we spent two years laughing at Wisconsin for it's backwardness in dealing with educational concerns ... ... so the teacher's union is going to bring down the government which will be replaced by a party whose intention is to fire all the public servants, including teachers ...

12:36 pm

... they're defending the justice which is good for them ... and will be the primary victim of the old saying ... be careful what you wish for because you might get it

12:36 pm

*Steps out of chat to avoid the anti-American stuff*

12:38 pm

I'm not getting the anti-American thing either, Molly...sorry if you misinterpreted.

12:38 pm

12:39 pm

12:40 pm

Going to be close to 80 in Arizona. We have no real weather.

12:41 pm

But I really miss thunderstorms...I just can't be pleased, can I?!!!

12:42 pm

Hi Mimi! I'm in Phx, so it's normal to not have defined weather seasons...

12:43 pm

My neighbors have been here 5 months from CA, and they miss the "weather"..

12:44 pm

good night everybody

12:44 pm

How long have you been here, PAV? I've been here 32 years. I moved here from L.A. and do miss the ocean breezes and sunsets at the beach.

12:45 pm

Night, ruby dear.

12:45 pm

It's just that summers here are like living in a suburb of HELL.

12:45 pm

since 1985, Thanksgiving, I've been in the SW USA since 1980 when I moved from MI, where I was born and raised.

12:46 pm

I lived in Milford for a year and Hartland for a year...small world. Lots of Michiganders here.

12:46 pm

but it's a dry hell! for themost part, I am indoors 90% so I don't really notice, and I still wear sweaters in the summer to ward off the intense A/C

12:47 pm

Since I'm female, hormonal and ride the bus, summers are dreadful for me.

12:48 pm

I di the bus the first ten years and moved 12 times from west to east side and back..yes, the bus rides were strenuous...

12:49 pm

I've lived all over, too. Now I'm at 7th St. and Bell area.

12:50 pm

just above MetroCentre,,meself.

12:50 pm

Hey guys, just got a Caring Bridge update. Uusue had dizziness and chest pain.. has gone to clinic

12:50 pm

oh geez poor sue

12:50 pm

Oh Hell!!

12:50 pm

Oh, no, Jilly....please keep us posted.

12:51 pm

I've been worried about her.

12:51 pm

Heading out to errands but will post if I hear further

12:51 pm

I hope she feels better soon...I am "under the weather" myself, debating wjether to go out....

12:51 pm

So much stress lately.

12:52 pm

It is too beautiful today, PAV, to stay in....get out there!!

12:53 pm

it's a head(becoming a chest) cold.. i think. The doc said I should be ok in a few days...on top of a mjaor groin pull that I thought was a hernia...

12:53 pm

I'll put a sweater on anyways just to keep the illness inside me...

12:54 pm

Sue has been so stoic through Frank's illness....was wondering if and when the stress would hit her.

12:55 pm

<--hoping for a panic attack.

12:56 pm

Jilly, whats the address for her bridge site? i had it but I lost it.

12:56 pm

Just not a heart attack----I did that earlier this year. The medication is worse than the heart attack.

12:56 pm

i think a panic attack is pretty likely, given the stress she's been under

12:57 pm

that's so in a lot of cases. Isn't it?

12:59 pm

Those can be terribly wicked, though...also had a couple of them many years ago. Hey, that which doesn't kill us......right?

12:59 pm

if she's been overwhelmed, it may just be lack of eating well enough. We'll just pray for an easier road ahead for her ...

12:59 pm

true Mimi

12:59 pm

indeed, pav

1:00 pm

However, there's a prayer I say a lot---"Please, God, don't make me any stronger!"

1:01 pm

good one Mimi

1:01 pm

would you rather be a 51 yr old male with 2 lbs of grip strength and unable to lift more than one hand? I'd take strength over much more these days....

1:01 pm

me too

1:01 pm

hi folks

1:02 pm

hey peri

1:02 pm

ooh, sorry Pav.

1:02 pm

Hi Peri!

1:02 pm

Howdy Peri!

1:02 pm

Sometimes making us stronger nearly kills us, right?!!

1:02 pm

Hi ya peri!!!

1:02 pm

I have the as8 and the tr8, help with the others pls

1:02 pm

I am physically a 265 lb weakling...but upset me and I'll sit on you...

1:06 pm

there you go Pav!

1:06 pm

I think the reward for getting past 50 should be that we can eat anything we want and not gain weight. I also say what I want these days. Have decided I've reached my crap quota and not taking any more!

1:06 pm

Everybody has a strength.

1:06 pm

I LOVE your icon, hego

1:06 pm

I'm with Mimi...how about lunch? is it starve a cold and feed a fever?

1:06 pm

so cute

1:07 pm

I vote for Mimi!!

1:07 pm

I vote for Mimi too!!

1:07 pm

i think it's the other way around

1:07 pm

Careeyore made it for me Peri

1:07 pm

It's actually feed everything, PAV....EAT!

1:07 pm

feed a cold and starve a fever

1:08 pm

yes, it is feed everything.

1:08 pm

according to past chat log there is an ha8 and re8 but have not found them

1:08 pm

Yu need calories to fight disease.

1:09 pm

don't have those Peri.

1:09 pm

I'm one to talk...the first thing I do when I'm not well is stop eating...makes my friends nuts.

1:09 pm

I do that too, Mimi

1:10 pm

I was really sick after the heart attack AND my computer crashed, too. My dear friend, Steve, brought me soup and a new computer! How lucky am I?

1:10 pm

that was sweet of him, Mimi

1:10 pm

not good Peri. You're thin and have no reserves.

1:11 pm

Nice Mimi

1:11 pm

I do not get sick very often.

1:11 pm

He and his wife are the most wonderful people. Oh, oh...peri is thin---we must banish her!

1:11 pm

oh, don't banish me

1:11 pm

that's good Peri.

1:11 pm

I'm just jealous.

1:12 pm

she's very thin, but I love her anyway.

1:12 pm

I mostly eat cause I know I should

1:12 pm

aww, thanks, hego, love you, too.

1:12 pm

Never had this problem.

1:12 pm

I never get sick.

1:13 pm

As we get older we resist infection better.

1:13 pm

I have always been thin. as a child my parents gave me tonics to help me gain weight. they were horrible!!

1:13 pm

There had to be an uoside.

1:13 pm

If I lived in Napa, ru, I'd be too blissful to get sick!

1:13 pm

1:13 pm

good food that is.

1:15 pm

1:15 pm

1:15 pm

good food, true

I just walked in and thought you were singing Leslie. "Let's take it from the top! Hummmmm!"

1:15 pm

and lack of compassion

1:16 pm

would rather go out less and spend more money on good food and ambience than go to a run of the mill kind of place

1:16 pm

GE it would be quite a difficult chorus to lead

1:16 pm

true, ruru

1:16 pm

Wildcat was before my time...she honestly was harsh to THIS community? How dare she! Glad I wasn't here then or I'd have ripped her a new one!

1:17 pm

Ruru maybe she thinks we forgot, I didn't

1:17 pm

I didn't either, hego

1:17 pm

Go Mimi!!

1:17 pm

mimi i believe she was helping collect money for some folks that needed it, and then kept it

1:17 pm

yes. true hego.. with her baby icon.. what a joke

1:17 pm

she should be banished from babble

1:17 pm

that was it.

1:18 pm

I've grown very fond and very loyal to this group. I now actually dislike someone I don't even know!!

1:18 pm

hego, I am drinking a G& T. that has calories in it :)

what is wrong bea

1:55 pm

This morning we discovered someone broke into our house. The took a small amount of money and a few pieces of jewelry.

1:56 pm

oh no! how scary.

1:56 pm

No one is hurt and the dogs are none the worse for wear. So it could have been worse.

1:56 pm

so sorry Bea.

1:57 pm

A loss is a loss.

1:57 pm

A couple of months ago, they broke into the garage and took all of my husband's tools.

1:57 pm

sounds serious.

1:57 pm

No idea how they got into the house as there was no noticeable signs of break in.

1:58 pm

Unfortunately, it is a serious problem in the town which we live.

1:58 pm

were the police informed?

1:58 pm

clue for the 2nd as 5/10, please?

1:59 pm

Yes, we filed a police report both times. Not much they can do.

1:59 pm

1:59 pm

1:59 pm

nan, i'm still missing one but my second is an as*** to the company

2:00 pm

2:00 pm

They should do a thorough investigation at least.

2:00 pm

it's the combo from the right a, nan

2:01 pm

Yes, but B&E doesn't rank to high in our town. Too many other more serious crimes.

2:02 pm

2:02 pm

2:02 pm

need an as 6 from the 4th column

2:03 pm

2:03 pm

ty bea - that was it

Anyone else try to play asshat today? Or was it just me?

2:09 pm

i did :)

Oh, good! It should be acceptable :)

2:10 pm

unless it's considered a proper noun

I think of it more as an adjective

2:11 pm

true. and even if it is a noun, i know more than one

2:11 pm

It could be either.

2:12 pm

You never know where you will run into an asshat. : D

Yes, they are everywhere. It's a dangerous world.

2:16 pm

I agree, lol. Good evening from Heathrow!

2:18 pm

No, I mean, don't think we've chatted! Hey ru, asshats are different. They're what you wear when you're lying face down in the sun and don't want to get burned!

2:18 pm

i think asshats have a more inflated sense of self than assholes, who are just rude and mean.

2:18 pm

3:12 pm

gads, I can't hit nbt for ANYTHING

3:12 pm

I was here and then took a break and I just returned. I am fine. I've been contemplating if I should get a bird or not.

3:14 pm

what kind are you thinking about? I vacillate on the bird issue - part of me thinks it really sweet to have one, part of me feels bad for them, living in a cage...

3:17 pm

Okay, may have to be content with nbt, nbs, all 8's and 7's...must get busy and leave babble...by all!

3:17 pm

I want to get 2 little parakeets. A teacher brought them to school last week and they were so cute! I have heard they're messy though and a pain to clean up after. They are also have a lot to say early in the morning. I am not a morning person, so may not be a good idea to get'em

3:17 pm

Hello mo! How are you doing today? Welcome to the chog.

3:32 pm

hectic day - adopted grandson and his mom are moving to new apartment and spent yesterday and today taking loads of "stuff" - i am getting a new stove tomorrow and need torearrange things in my kitchen - not enough time

3:32 pm

ok, with that I need to go shovel out a room or two. Kisses all.

3:33 pm

hi min ... I am ok thankyou .... and you?

3:34 pm

I am well.This gird is really challenging and I am down to 8

3:34 pm

I need a new stove too,but do not have money for one now

3:35 pm

I have finished ... can I help?

3:35 pm

Congratulations mo on your early fireworks! Good for you!

3:37 pm

didn't have much choice - oven was not working right - electric and bottom element didn't work

3:37 pm

lol .. its not early here .. past 10.30pm. but ty anyway!!

3:37 pm

My oven stopped working too. The burners worked fine still, so I just bought one of those big convection ovens for $100. It works faster and better than the oven ever did!

3:40 pm

how many words today?

Hello mgbrown!How are you doing? Welcome to the puzzle

3:41 pm

I'm good, thanks.

3:41 pm

help with A in the right column please

3:42 pm

as 5/10 and 6/18

3:43 pm

invictus .... I agree with you we use our convection oven all the time now.

3:44 pm

I love it! I don't know how I ever lived without it before.

3:44 pm

the new oven will have the convection - was it hard to convert to?

3:45 pm

combined with the halogen hob,cooking is a doddle!!!

3:45 pm

Hello BabbleRabble! How are you doing? Welcome to chog.

3:45 pm

It was hard for me to get the temperatures right at first. I find that most of the time, I need to set the temperature lower than what is called for.

3:45 pm

how did you learn to converrt cooking times? is there a conversion table?

3:46 pm

as + Alamo general: Santa **n*; pl

3:46 pm

My stove still has three burners that work, so I am no hurry to get another stove right now. It is just a pain to use now.

3:47 pm

i also have only three burners that work - but when the oven became a problem that nudged me into getting the new one

3:47 pm

Hello, Minveryork

3:47 pm

you just get used to turning the temperature down a little.

3:47 pm

I just go by trial and error mostly. And I bought a meat thermometer just to be sure.

3:47 pm

and now it is time crossys new feature!! it is called "it this isn,t true it ought to be!"...

3:56 pm

oops

3:57 pm

Give me one of the 7's I am missing

3:57 pm

ty welki was my last r:))

3:57 pm

e.s.p. crossy :)

3:58 pm

you are my favorite

3:58 pm

i've been spending some time trying to learn how to knit on double pointed needles (4 at a time) - making preemie hats to donate to the nicu

3:59 pm

Double-pointed needles?

3:59 pm

anyway, i have come to the conclusion that the fine motor skills you need for this have skipped a generation or two and been given to my kids

3:59 pm

yeah, deadly things *lol*

3:59 pm

i just had a vision of welki using a knitting needle contraption that looks like the chalk holder used to draw music bars...hehe

4:00 pm

you can make seamless hats with them - better for teeny weeny preemies

4:00 pm

if only, crossy - you have to divide the stitches evenly on all needles and then try to remember your pattern while making sure nothing twists - i thought needlework was supposed to be relaxing!

4:01 pm

wow

4:01 pm

Oh, points on each ends. Yes, I have seen those.

4:01 pm

and i thought it was such a good idea - small projects for my stupidy arthritic hands - maybe it's like getting to carnegie hall - practice, practice, practice!

4:02 pm

At least the hats are tiny.

4:02 pm

i am sure basic knitting is very useful for this cause as with my knees my dr says use them or lose them

4:03 pm

i need things to occupy myself on days off - a friend, one i had lunch with last friday, died the other day from a hypoglycemic reaction - funeral's on monday - so hard to concentrate on anything else

4:04 pm

and i know i used no period br and the i is in lower case;))

4:04 pm

you are the comma chameleon, crossy :)

4:04 pm

Oh, no! A diabetic?

4:05 pm

and bless all you guys and gals who knit for the babies and cancer patients.i cannot teel you how many times i saw a cancer friend of mine go to the knitting box to get something made with love to warm a newly bald head of a child or themselves

4:05 pm

love it welki!

4:05 pm

yes - she'd been struggling with out of control sugars for some time, had had many episodes and became on of those hypoglcemic unawareness folks

4:05 pm

Hello Scrabbler!How are you doing today? Welcome to grid

4:06 pm

we talked about her getting a pump for the alarm functions on it - and irony of all ironies - she was a nurse

4:06 pm

Oh, no, Welki--awful.

4:06 pm

Hi Min

4:06 pm

hi min

4:07 pm

scrabs, i've had a few serious lows and (so far) have been able to feel them coming on - it's so scary to think that the warning signs become non-recognizable or non-existent

4:07 pm

Hello welki!How are you doing today? Welcome to the grid

4:08 pm

i did not know signs could become non-existent.that is scary

4:08 pm

my husband is on the lookout for them, but it's kind of funny when i say something stupid or nonsensical and he asks if my sugars are ok - Yes, they're ok, I'm just a moron :)

4:09 pm

yes, crossy - hypoglycemic unawareness

4:09 pm

:(

4:09 pm

Aren't there glycemia monitors that can be worn at all times?

4:09 pm

comma,comma,comma chameleonnnnn,,,,, you cammoa and gooo,,,,you comma and goooo,,,, hehe

4:10 pm

i love it

4:10 pm

i am so sorry about your friend welki

4:10 pm

yes, scrabs - but for her, whose levels fluctuated so frequently and erratically, a pump would have been the next step

4:11 pm

would have kept her level and, at the same time, set off an alarm if she was going low

4:11 pm

i am angry at her physician. he knew she lived by herself and could have easily gotten her set up

4:12 pm

Yes, totally preventable.

4:12 pm

welki, I am sorry for the loss of your friend and yes I would be angry at the physician too

4:12 pm

so this is a small device you wear?

4:12 pm

hel with an7 pls

4:12 pm

another lesson for me about how very fragile we are and how insignificant daily bullshit is

4:12 pm

crossy, it is your turn

4:13 pm

help even

4:13 pm

k peri

4:13 pm

crossy.I enjoy our WwF games

5:06 pm

ahh yes,the cornwall plonk of 88 i remember it well,with note of wenslydale and heifer and a finish of sheep

5:07 pm

(and i think i figured out that four-needle stuff - just need to tweak the fine points before i start knitting the hats - if it gives me heartburn, i'll crochet them instead )

5:07 pm

lol,sorry being goofy tonight

5:07 pm

hehehe - my other half lived in cornwall, ont for a while - had a dairy farm in finch

5:08 pm

I put my no 4/4 to the grid this morning.Tried to babble sa 4/4 list, but did not work. I have said my oo 4/5 and aa4/5 over fireworks. It took me ae5/10 to finish. Now here is a story.My Au4/5,who lives on the ea4/4 coa4/4 se 4/4 me Babble websi4/4 link. When she first told me about it, I refused to join because I thought it would be too hard to do. She was a ha8/45 and ha 6/21ed me to join 'til I did so. She drove me ne5/10 with her constant pleas for me to join. At first, I could not think of a good enough re6/18 to join Babbleland since I'm not good at word games. I finally did join during the winter se6/18. My husband is driving me insa4/4 with his ra 4/5ing and raving about his need for the computer. I'm going to go watch "The Untouchables",a movie about gangster Eliot Ne4/4. I will be back so 4/4 after that. I hope you have found the re 4/4 of the words in your list or at least the easy on4/4. I'll be back later on tonight to help w/clues

5:23 pm

i love the untouchable

5:32 pm

Madame, unass that man this instant!

5:33 pm

5:34 pm

Oh good luck with that Amelu. Especially if you're trying to get the remote from a y-chromo.

Hi Dee. Renter?

LOL that's it!~!!!!! You are amazing!

6:11 pm

Nice to see you in the "non flip" hours. How are you doing?

brb I'll post a list in my profile. Pretty well; it's been a busy time; hubby needed to have some heart-related tests - pretty scary, but we think we are on the right road now.

6:12 pm

Good to hear. I have Broll's list in my profile if you want to save yourself some time.

6:12 pm

wow.. is it flip time already..where did the day go?

6:12 pm

hi all

6:13 pm

hey jm

thanks, molly... missed your post, so sorry. Oh, well, in two places.

Hi ru. Great to see you, Molly... always miss you!

How are you doing, Molly?

6:14 pm

any further news from UU?

6:15 pm

volley!?! *faint*

Hi jm!!!

Didn't take my computer to the kids, so had to come in to see if I could finish before the flip... does the word addiction ring a bell LOL.

6:15 pm

what brings you by so early/late?

6:16 pm

*jm tends to be overly dramatic volley FYI*

We went to kids to pre-celebrate hubby's birthday tomorrow.

6:16 pm

ah well that explains it but i have no idea what you are talking about with word addiction

LOL, ru.

6:16 pm

popping in to say hi while cooking supper

6:16 pm

i am not overly dramatic. . .everyone else is underdramatic

6:16 pm

hi welks

6:16 pm

hi welki

LOL, jm, bless you; now I don't feel guilty. Well, I need to make sure hubby's fed; I'll be back at the flip. Hugs to you all!!

6:17 pm

Wow, she can cook, be on the computer and wear a pancake hat all at the same time.

6:17 pm

bye volley nice to see you

6:17 pm

welki is a woman of many parts

6:17 pm

that wine would have gone well with tonight's meal, ru - maple bacon wrapped scallops and wild mushroom couscous

Great to see you, too!!!

6:17 pm

*Cough* No one is underdramatic in here.

6:17 pm

as long as it isn't an asshat

ttfn

6:18 pm

yes.. that would have worked nicely welki

6:18 pm

i had bacon wrapped scallops last night at a moot court ribbon cutting

6:18 pm

moot court?

6:18 pm

so i take the lack of answer means we haven't heard any more about uu

6:18 pm

That is one of my favorite appetizers.

6:18 pm

i had to go to a business dinner last night, too = wish i'd gone with you to yours, i love moot court!

6:19 pm

it is a pretend court you do in law school to practice arguing a case

6:19 pm

oh

6:19 pm

we do moot court all the time for training new officers

6:19 pm

it was faboulous! i tell you most real courts aren't as nice as this one was

6:19 pm

do they pretend billing too?

6:20 pm

We called that mock trial when I was in high school.

6:20 pm

haha no you have to learn that on your own

6:20 pm

attending moot court = billable hours for me

6:20 pm

well a mock trial is a trial and moot court is appellant

6:21 pm

mock trials are similar - but for us, less formal and not as heavy on argument

6:21 pm

Appellant? Is that when you use bug spray in appellate court? : P

6:21 pm

well with an officer that would make sense

6:22 pm

what was the case, jm?

6:22 pm

mmmm....bacon scallops...

6:22 pm

:-P i refuse to worry about my inability to spell have a note from my heating guy that excuses all stupidity

6:22 pm

no case this time as it was a ribbon cutting onthe new room

6:22 pm

I thought only plumbers had those.

6:23 pm

my news of carbon monoxide poison is not as dramatic as uu's

6:23 pm

so i am now in an unheated house until tuesday or so

6:24 pm

are you ok jmc? did you place have carbon monoxide detectors?

6:24 pm

Is that like "rumors of my death have been greatly exaggerated?"

6:24 pm

eeek!! hope you're okay - and hope the repairs aren't too expensive

6:24 pm

no i bought one because my cat was refusing to come up stairs but it told me i either had no carbon monoxide or i was dead

6:24 pm

we had a family here who recently died of this all four,2 of them children:(

6:25 pm

i wish molls. . . it actually explains my headaches and lethargy

6:26 pm

Well I'm glad you caught it. I thought CO2 detectors were required by law now.

6:26 pm

so i had the heating guy come today and from what he says this has been a problem for more than a year. . . but thankfully last year was not that cold

6:26 pm

:( we evacuated my house a couple of years ago because the monitor was going off - son in law and daughter were paramedics and had small grandbaby, too - wasn't taking chances, called fire dept and they checked everything out - faulty monitor

6:26 pm

yes,best not to take chances

6:26 pm

in new buildings molls not an old house like this. . .what saved me is an old leaky house

6:27 pm

and not having a back on it for part of last winter . . .hahahaha

6:27 pm

yep, the air that comes through the cracks, electric receptacles, foundation and windows - i am thankful for your leaky house

6:27 pm

me too. . . i feel bad about my roommate. . .glad she is gone she would not have liked being here with no heat

6:28 pm

mmmmmmm ... last batch of bacon is finishing up, almost time to wrap

6:28 pm

yes,with the new air tight homes with central heat/air those unit must be tuned up regularly or one mistake and you are like a person trying to survive in a garage with a car running

6:28 pm

mmmmmmmmmmm.BACON!

6:29 pm

coming over welki..

6:29 pm

now I want bacon

6:29 pm

I'm a freak about fresh air. I have the windows open every day no matter how cold it is.

6:29 pm

common ru,lets crash welki,s party

6:29 pm

hmmmm if i cooked bacon that would warm the house

6:29 pm

minus 4c and my windows are open now

6:29 pm

6:29 pm

my windows open too

6:30 pm

6:30 pm

6:30 pm

6:31 pm

hang on - time for a cut and paste (apologies to the chat)

6:31 pm

the main thing is to have the heating system cleaned

6:31 pm

crossys handy tidbit for those in cold climate.to prevent pulling the rubber gasket off the car doors on super cold days,apply a light coating of vasaline to the rubber and they will not stick when you open the doors

6:32 pm

That's so funny. It's 40 degrees F here. I haven't run the heat in days and I'm wearing shorts.

6:32 pm

6:38 pm

i was reading an email about someone seeing two men running down the road buck naked except their running shows and she mentioned that it was clear from the front that they were cold...

6:38 pm

apparently you haven't jumped into an icy ocean in a while crossy

6:39 pm

6:39 pm

cannot

6:39 pm

i suspect you are correct cross

6:40 pm

6:40 pm

chilled my cojones just at the thought

6:40 pm

cojone*

6:41 pm

I went diving in Alaska once and I thought I swallowed my testicles

6:41 pm

burping them out is tough i am sure

6:41 pm

damn i must have downloaded some damn thing . . .it has created a drop down menu on the add word box that i cannot get rid of

6:41 pm

HA

6:42 pm

love those wet suits,the layer of water is like daggers and you dream of a pricy dry suit

6:42 pm

yeah.. it sure wasn't a good idea

6:42 pm

In which Ru mistook himself for Rocky Mountain Oysters

6:42 pm

the old skool divers used to coat themselves with axle grease then put the wet suit on

6:42 pm

haha

6:43 pm

*ties fingers*

6:43 pm

There is always a drop down box from the add word box

6:43 pm

untie em,whats the worst thing that can happen? lol

6:44 pm

this one is different. . .it has a search site and web search

6:44 pm

ugh use c cleaner and get rid of it jmc

6:44 pm

<==trying to imagine the young llyod bridges in axle grease

6:44 pm

You gotta stop surfing those porn sites JMC

6:44 pm

how will i know what it is crossy?

6:45 pm

yup,thos japanese hentai dragon anime porn sites will do it every time;))

6:45 pm

it will be listed as a search bar..just get rid of any you do not recognize

6:45 pm

well i accidently went to a google list that had pictures that had censor hazes on them the other day

6:45 pm

only one you need is google anyways

6:46 pm

i was looking for something reasonable that i actually needed but. . .ahem. . . it turned out that there was a dirty version of what i was looking for. . . so i gave up

6:47 pm

i clicked on none of the ones on the list!

6:47 pm

: D There is always a dirty version of "what you're looking for"

6:47 pm

lol,i have been computing long enough to remember when ask jeeves and ask jeeves jr were big players in search engines before google came along

6:47 pm

i like to use bing too so that i can get around google's insistence that i only can see liberal sites

6:48 pm

Uck, Ask Jeeves. Almost as bad as Bing.

6:48 pm

i actually enjoyed ask jeeves

6:48 pm

bing is sooo annoying

6:48 pm

i like bing

6:49 pm

bing tries to jump in front of google so you end up typing in the wrong spot

6:49 pm

Never know what to expect when returning to Babbleland.

6:50 pm

Is there a list somewhere? My monkeys are exhausted and I have 19 left.

7:14 pm

7:15 pm

7:15 pm

i tried making a slow cooker duck on thursday which was not particularly good so i put it in the ice box and today i took off the duck fat (now in a container inthe icebox) and sorted out the bones and added roasted winter veggies

7:15 pm

Speaking of soup, husband made homemade chicken soup yesterday. Had it last night for dinner and again for lunch.

7:15 pm

the suop was great

7:15 pm

The doc said drink it straight down and don't yolk with it

7:15 pm

now that sounds good, jmc..

7:15 pm

took out some of the duck for duck tacos tomorrow

7:15 pm

LOL BabbleRabble..

7:16 pm

"groan" BR

7:16 pm

ick BR i would have to have had a really good case made to drink that

7:16 pm

7:17 pm

7:17 pm

os4/4

7:17 pm

7:17 pm

Yah Smith

7:21 pm

7:22 pm

Congratulations smithchick on your fireworks!Good for you

7:22 pm

What soups do goldfish like?

7:23 pm

i would like they would mainly like puree and cream soups and maybe broths . . . they wouldn't want to colide with noodles and rice. . . might sink them

7:23 pm

Yes! I had to use Molly's list for the last 19. I can't monkey very effectively!

7:23 pm

*would think

7:24 pm

dang you will just have to untangle my comment

7:24 pm

you did very well getting down to 19; I usually aim for 3/4 which would be down to 39 for this grid

7:26 pm

Thanks Peri I needed that

7:26 pm

7:28 pm

os4- o double snake + vowel or o snake +vowel + consonant.

7:28 pm

ty smith

7:28 pm

Which experience, Babble?

7:29 pm

I saw that I was a little late after my pathetic attempt at cluing.

7:29 pm

np i appreciate peoples efforts to clue

7:29 pm

I perhaps incorrectly assumed you went to Smith College

7:30 pm

Oh, sorry. I went to three different colleges but none of them was Smith. I married a Smith. :P

7:34 pm

any clues for the ta 5/22?

7:35 pm

yes, just add "not we" to what you pay april 15

7:35 pm

Latin name for yew :) -- uses high point letter.

7:35 pm

ta 5/22 is something Warren Buffet has said

7:36 pm

(-: vg, BR

7:36 pm

tyvm

7:36 pm

Buffett*

7:41 pm

Hello maggiej!How are you doing? Welcome to the puzzle.

7:42 pm

Yew just had to clue it that way, didn't yew Seain? : P

7:46 pm

smart move by PBS: if you contribute $120, you can get the entire new series ahead of broadcast

I am so out of practice I keep missing the babblets

7:46 pm

for Downton Abbey

7:47 pm

ooh, you must babble more, herin!

7:47 pm

Well, seeing as how they hold it for months after it's broadcast in the UK, I'd say it's a money maker for them.

Or for $0 you can download straight from the internet

7:48 pm

aha.. will remember that herin

I am not advocating illegal downloads but when you are being given the option of $120 that is a tad outrageous

7:49 pm

how do you do that herin?

What season is the USA up to?

7:49 pm

Not to mention $120 is four times the buying price.

eztv

7:50 pm

well, if it is a cause you want to support, and you get something you enjoy by supporting it..

7:50 pm

We have not gotten Season 3 yet. Not until January.

7:50 pm

I think it is the third season, herin

7:50 pm

eztv?

Here you go Amazon: http://tinyurl.com/bo478gn

For approx $62 USD Amazon UK is selling it

7:52 pm

that's where I download from?

Saanichat that is the website i have been direct to in the past

7:52 pm

thanks herin!

7:52 pm

ok, but.. you can't support the existence of the station that airs it if you buy it elsewhere

7:53 pm

Oh hey, I like Downton and all that but no way I would pay 62 dollars for it.

7:53 pm

unless of course you send them a separate donation

7:54 pm

my Library has complete sets but there are long waits and you get them out of order. Free though.

The station shouldn't charge that sort of money for a 'priveledge' to watch early when you can get seasons 1 to 3 plus the Christmas edition from Amazon UK.

$60 isn't much for 11 disks

7:54 pm

It's not a charge. It's their membership drive, asking for donations.

7:55 pm

well, I saw a Johnny Mathis promo and confess I ran to the phone and donated .. got the discs, supported the station and enjoyed the experience

7:55 pm

sentimental trip into the past .. worked on me!

Hey if you are giving me the disks too I wouldn't mind paying the $120 but just plain Pay per view nope

7:58 pm

oh yes, you get the discs

7:59 pm

Yes, but Season 3 is only 3 disks not 11. 11 disks is the Season 1-3 gift set.

7:59 pm

probably the one for $240 donation

O that is a bit sad.

8:01 pm

Public television here is largely dependent on viewer donations.

8:02 pm

herin, do you have Public Television?

8:03 pm

Public Radio?

I thought that you had to pay the money and no physical discs.

Yes we have some sort of public radio

http://www.pbsfm.org.au/ This is our radio

8:05 pm

ok, we don't have cable.. so TV is mostly a terrible wasteland as far as I am concerned.. without Public Television and Public Radio, it would be such a sad sad scene

As I said I really didn't know that

And it is good to support local tv

or radio

8:09 pm

I didn't know how it is in Australia.. interesting.. Public Radio and TV gives us a choice here, elsewhere maybe it wouldn't be so important, but .. what a difference it makes for us at least

We have free to air. I like PBS radio because they have a different programs every day.

Like once a fortnight on a Friday in the wee hours of the morning there is a man that plays disco tracks. Yesterday we listened to Jazz tracks

8:11 pm

I'm just so ticked that we have so much on TV that is so terrible.. so violent, so non-helpful to humans and other living things, lol.. seriously, a waste of air time and I don't think I'm being elitist, just objective

8:12 pm

I totally concur aloy.

8:13 pm

The standard for television writing is in the toilet.

8:13 pm

groan.. and it could be so much more

I have one local show Winners and Losers which I love

And Supernatural

Our tv is largely used for a computer monitor and the odd movie

8:19 pm

do you have netflix?

8:23 pm

well, I'm glad you can download and watch what you wish to

Well we tend to also movie share. As in borrow from friends

8:24 pm

Hi all, back in...better day today..cold still lingering

Hi Pav

8:25 pm

Hello PAV3! How are you doing today? Welcome to the grid

8:25 pm

hi PAV

8:26 pm

Phoenix is COLD? Daughter is in Phoenix

8:27 pm

No, I think she means she HAS a cold.

8:27 pm

and how is mi' Lady this eve? and the wonderful maidens Aloyisius and Minveryork?

8:27 pm

oh, lol !

Getting there Weekend isn't long enough as per usual

8:28 pm

thanks Molly, but last I checked am still a member of the male of the species...I think ...I have CRS.

8:29 pm

Me a maiden? That's a new one. Never been called that b4

8:29 pm

oh dear, translate PAV.. central respiratory syndrome?

8:29 pm

Can't Remember Shit

Even though this house had a 3 day weekend it wasn't lpng enough

8:29 pm

...and yes, when Phoenix dips below 70 it IS freezing!

8:29 pm

I so WISH I was a maiden! I was I was young and unmarried

8:30 pm

Cannot Remember s4

8:30 pm

I so WISH I was a maiden! I wish I was young and unmarried

8:31 pm

Min, you've got a lot of living yet to do. I am confident of that.

8:31 pm

we are as young as we wish to be...however some people tend to digress prematurely...hence CRS

On friday it was my Aunt's funeral. Makes you very grateful for whom yo have in your live

8:32 pm

I apologize, my mouse was doing strange(r) things, so I exited and opened a new window...

8:32 pm

so sorry for your loss, herin.. and you are so right

8:33 pm

I sent an e-mail to husband telling him that I'm not waiting 'til Spring to put house on the market as originally planned

8:33 pm

my condolences mi'Lady...hoping her life brightened yours....

She was very sick. Only 68 my mums age. I am grateful she passed with family around

8:33 pm

I'll be doing it after X-mas in January. Hope it sells quickly.

8:33 pm

oh? Miss Min...moving closer or further?

Later in the years I didn't have much to do with her. Which is incredibly my bad.

8:34 pm

I have been planning a peacefully quiet Christmas holiday and now favorite aunt and uncle might be coming..

We are going to other halfs sisters house. I wanted to spend it at home. But I thought there will be a day that I do wish I have family and I have none

8:35 pm

I am sorry to hear that herinfernallady! I am so grateful for the people in my life, but really hard to be grateful for my hubby. I do not mean to sound so ungrateful, but it is true.

8:35 pm

I am painting (first time in 11 years) and redoing my small foyer with porcelain tile...

No that is a reality Mini. You can't be grateful to be around someone if they make you unhappy. That is resentfulness

8:36 pm

Hopefully, I will be moving FURTHER away from my hubby.

Good because you deserve to fly and not have your wings clipped

8:37 pm

HRH Princess Precious cannot remember where her rear is and has (deliberately or not) been missing the pee pads...

8:38 pm

So I have been stuck with 7 words left since 3:46. Think it's time I finally finish this grid. Was very difficult to do today.

Pav what about puppy nappies?

8:39 pm

I am heading in that direction...although she has managed to crawl her way out of any sweaters and capes I've attempted to put on her...

Does she have a pee problem?

8:40 pm

That is great Min. A new year and a new start on life.

8:40 pm

Her peeing problem is (deliberately or not) missing the peed pad. She know full well wehere it is and how to go...she sticks head over to make sure it's clean and nice smelling , then goes....

So the vet has ruled out nothing abnormal just the dog being a terror?

8:41 pm

It might be a new year for me, but I will not have a new start on life until I am living on my own.I so cannot wait until that day happens! I hope that the housing market has improved. Are there any babblers who are realtors?

8:42 pm

I have laminate wood floors, so I put down a clear vinyl floor mat (like for desk chairs) to help save the floors. It's a fifty/fifty chance she makes that

8:42 pm

SHe has been tested for many things, and expensive as they are the tests always come back "normal"

8:42 pm

I know DC Seain is a realtor. I think Champ might be too.

8:43 pm

Min...hoping your new year is the best for your to come yet!

8:43 pm

Thank you PAV3, me too!

Pav my cat will pee on plastic bags as a big F U for leaving her when I work

8:44 pm

te6 pls

8:44 pm

Does anybody have a clue for the first as 5/10 word please

8:45 pm

The dogs are really good, but when I've upset her (and my apologies to the ladies) and who knows how that happens, she goes on a bender

8:45 pm

Never mind! I just found that as5/10 word. Thanks anyway

8:46 pm
